Skip to comments.Rick Perry Slams Food Stamps, Government Subsidies
Posted on 08/21/2011 6:45:56 AM PDT by AAABEST
Texas Governor Rick Perry, the latest GOP candidate to enter the 2012 presidential race, looks to challenge former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romneys status as the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination. Perry entered the race on August 13th after announcing his candidacy at an event in South Carolina. Perrys announcement, which stole the spotlight from the Ames Straw Poll, put to rest several months of speculation about the Texas Governors decision to run for the GOP nomination.
During his presidential announcement, Perry said we cannot afford four more years of this rudderless leadership. Perry also added that page one of any economic plan to get America working is to give a pink slip to the current resident in the White House.
Ever since his presidential announcement in South Carolina, Perrys criticism of the Obama administration has been relentless. More recently, Perry criticized the Obama administrations comments on food stamps or the Federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
This week, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said when you talk about the SNAP program or the food stamp program, you have to recognize that its also an economic stimulus. Vilsack also added that its the most direct stimulus you can get in the economy during these tough times, because of the work that goes into an item of food before it ends up in the grocery store.
While campaigning in South Carolina on Friday, Perry slammed the Obama administrations view of food stamps and other government subsidies. Most Americans do not yearn to be dependent on government subsidies, they want economic freedom, and economic freedom comes from work and wages, not welfare, Perry argued.
One of the focal points of Perrys presidential campaign is the longest serving Texas Governors record on job creation. Forty percent of the nations new jobs have been created in the Lone Star State since June 2009. Our message is clear, weve got to get America working again, Perry said during a campaign stop in South Carolina on Saturday.
Perry believes strongly that government subsidies, such as food stamps, shouldnt be on the governments list of responsibilities. The central issue of this election is an Administration that believes Washington must be our caretaker, and a people who want Washington to only take care of their constitutional responsibilities, Perry professed.
Besides reiterating his belief that food stamps arent economic stimulus, Perry talked about the need to focus on the private sector when it comes to job creation. We have tried two and a half years of government trying to create jobs, its time to let the private sector get to work, Perry argued.
I deal with people using foodsramps everyday. What I see and hear makes me sick. Some are using 2 cards now and I cannot say a thing about it at work.
It is a lifestyle and some have had their cards for upwards of 8 years and are proud of it, even arrogant.
I haven’t picked a favorite yet. But I’m quite deceded on who I am not a fan of.
What a great idea. I was kinda wondering how to put the welfare mom’s to work. Perfect idea...I also think everyone on Welfare must be drug tested. They are drug tested at various times...not ever knowing when they’ll be tested. A paramed service just shows up at their door...if they hide and not allow the test...welfare funds are stopped immediately...
“Rick Perry opposes government subsidies?! Bwhahaha! Since when?”
Here’s how welfare worked in Kansas (under Sibileus): there was not a state-wide limit as to how many ‘lost’ welfare cards could be replaced. One city finally attached a limit of ten. The statewide record of replacement welfare cards given to one recipient: 59. That’s fifty-nine.
That, and other such stuff, is changing.
The private sector is scared to do anything at this point because of all the uncertainty out there all due to Obama of course. 2012 cant come soon enough for me.
This is strategically politically dumb. This means we have to wait until January 20, 2013 before we can expect economic improvements. Like I said, politically dumb.
I have an idea, the House GOP, the Senate GOP and the GOP Presidential candidates should get together and put together bills for turning the economy around. The House GOP would then place the bills and the pressure would then be on the Democrat Party as a whole, Senate Democrats specifically and Obama in particular. They would then be seen to stand in the way of economic growth.
Here's some ideas to include: Energy Freedom Act - unleash our American companies to produce energy from our American natural resources. End the Gulfatorium, release ANWAR, release Fracking, bind the idiotic regulations from the EPA.
Labor Freedom Bill - prevent the National Labor Relations Board from first and foremost stopping Boeing's plan to build planes in South Carolina, and reverse all kinds of labor regs.
Economic Freedom Act - reverse all kinds of regulations coming out of the Obama Administration.
Cost of Taxation Act - reduce to cost of compliance with tax laws through radical simplication. Eliminate tens of thousands of IRS jobs, including the 16,000 intended to be added for ObamaCare.
Health Freedom Act - Allow health insurance purchases across state lines, eliminate regulations that prevent MSA and crowd out individual insurance plans.
The political strategy bottom line for an opposition political party ought to be: We can wait any longer! I'm sure people have better ideas than I do for immediate incentives for economic growth (zero tax rate on repatriated profits). The plan ought to be to start now. The House GOP could put something out before Obama comes out with his stupid plan. Or get the whole gang together and come out with a response to the Obama "Grow Government Bigger" Plan.
This is what Boehner ought to have been doing. The GOP needs to show people what across the board GOP governance will be like with GOP control of the House, Senate and White House. They're sitting around expecting people to simply vote against Obama. The GOP are the Stupid Party, they earned that moniker.
WE CAN'T WAIT!!
I'm not trusting him yet, but he isn't just like Romney. He's much more likely sincere about pro-life. To some of us that makes a very big difference.
Guess that needs to be fixed. Thanks for taking the time to point it out.
Bingo! The State of Michigan just kicked 30,000 students off of Food Stamps. And there’s outrage, OUTRAGE!
Welfare are the “labor force” that could be used in lieu of illegals. How’s that for brain work?
Why is that?
Perrys going to be slapped down with that statement.
In the general election that is one thing but in the GOP Primary I don’t think there are a significant number of voters that would slap him down over that position.
1. NAME THE FATHER or no checks or housing. Go after him first, if he refuses send him to jail/prison. DNA everyone.
2. 1 child (a mistake, NOT), but no more. 2nd child is always on purpose, other than just being a SLUT anyway.
3. Those children must stay in school and learn something, therefore reduce the amount the mothers get IF their child makes below a C, reduce for truanancy as well.
I see these teenage thugs (with their pants to the ground, underware showing), walking the streets often during school session, their mothers need to be held responsible.
I'm sure the mothers are just waiting at home for all the goodies these thugs can steal, I want a Pepsi and chips, don't forget that SON./sar. (my good little son, who don't nevva does nuttin wrong.)
Can’t agree with that unless it includes the fathers of those kids as well.
The “anchor baby” thing is an administrative determination. You have people reading more into that statement than is really there ~ it can be reversed, and since it’s just administrative and not based on any law, it’ll reverse the citizenship status of all those who previously benefited from it ~ as well as their offspring.
THank you so much for the links! I’ve put them in my Perry file and will consider them as I continue my sifting process.

A mothers 'rights' have never ever depended upon her murdering her own child.
In fact that sounds complete madness and evil.
Reprobate thinking today is abhorrent and ghoulish.
Life begins at conception if you leave that life alone it will grow into baby,child and adult. To prevent this from happening - the only thing the mortals can do is kill that life. There is no other way.
That is culpable murder by those involved.
Depravity is in mans nature. Without Christ in their life then transgression means nothing to them.
New Zealand, the tragic country, fell over itself to affirm and declare Islam as almost the state religion, after the most unfortunate mosque killings there recently, perpetrated not by a white supremacist â€śChristian nationalistâ€ť as portrayed by the Leftist and secularist media, but actually by a man who turned out to be a Leftist himself.
Now this country, led by its Socialist Prime Minister, now goes on to the next step, abortion on demand, right up to birth. The Canaanite religion is about to be added to Islam, as the preferred state religion of New Zealand.
The true evangelical Christians of New Zealand must stand up and be counted, and oppose this, but they will now be entering a period of persecution; they must not accept these laws, and must stand against them.

McInnis Cement has announced that it is submitting its Port-Daniel-Gascons project to additional environmental conditions. An abridged version of its statement on the latest developments is provided below.
McInnis Cement said today that it welcomes the Quebec government’s decision for the introduction of draft legislation confirming that its cement plant project is not subject to the environmental assessment process, recognising the prior thirty confirmations issued by governments between 1995 and 2014. The company is confident that Bill 37 will dispel the uncertainty surrounding the project and will help in maintaining jobs.
At the request of McInnis Cement, additional conditions will be formally added to its Certificate of Authorisation to operate the cement plant, including:
- Continuous monitoring of the air emissions from the cement plant.
- Compliance with standards more stringent than those currently applied in Quebec to existing cement plants, namely the American standard NESHAP 2015 for new cement.

Just coming off a weekend of magical energies with the 8-8 Lion's Gate Energy rolling into my awareness clearly on the 7th and welcoming this full moon. Friday, I spent time with friends outside in nature for connection and meditation. Just a reminder that when "big" energy comes to the planet, the best place to be is in nature preferably sitting on grass to help anchor and balance the vibrational shifting that is taking place in your body as the energy pours in. (A beautiful little fairy friend, Win-Kel came by for a brief visit on Friday to remind me of such.)
I have to admit that after the intense meditative afternoon, I was a bit exhausted, but I knew I could not let the Lion's Gate get away without Smudging my space and utilizing this energy to clear my space and re-charge my portal of light in my home. Before the clearing began, The Goddess Sekhmet appeared to me to provide assistance as I cleansed. My friend and I did an amazingly deep clearing and then lay within the portal for the purpose of absorbing the new energies. During my receptive mode, I allowed myself to receive downloads/transmissions from Egypt. I got amazing visions of the light beaming into the Great Pyramid in Giza and transferring over to the Sphinx and spreading through the planet through the eyes of the Sphinx. It was quite a miraculous vision and quite the physical body sensations as the energy made its way sweeping across the planet. Oh, how I love the Egyptian Energies and how grateful I am to have been there and always able to access them. Just before coming out of meditation, the Beloved Egyptian Goddess Sekhmet appeared before me once again. She reminded me of our agreement made in Egypt back in January of 2011. (If you have been following my blog for sometime you will remember my blog posts from my Egypt trip with lots of information on Sekhmet. If you haven't been reading it that long or have not read my Egypt posts, I highly recommend you take some time to read about the magical experience I had and why it is still so profound this much time later and it is a great way to get to know me.) Back to Sekhment, her name is from the word Sekhem which means power and might. She is a powerful goddess in Egypt depicted with the a lion head and female body. She appeared to me and said, "I gift you now with courage, will power and determination. I bring to you and all within your sphere of influence the majestic light of the Lion's Gate and assist them on their journey with courage, will power and determination." Needless to say, I felt completely honored and in awe of this beautiful being. Then the evening was done and I barely got a wink of sleep with all the energy pulsing through me and the downloads into my field.
Now, this morning I was sitting here at the computer getting ready to type today's message on my Soul Star Healing fan page and I was hijacked by my guides, the Arcturian Masters of Light, and they brought forth a mini message for you for today. Please read it below and "bask" in the energy of it. (the energy holds immense emanations of love and light!) So it shall be.
Today's Message: Bask in the energy that surrounds you today. It is your power coming back to you. Reclaim your place in humanity as the majestic being of love that you are. Your light is so bright, you are an eternal sun unto yourself. You are what you have been waiting for--each of you sparkles with the divine and simply being present in your life will create all the miracles that you have long desired. The time has come dear ones, for the new earth is and will unfold exactly as it is meant to. We tell you this on this day for you to begin to take action upon the things you value most in life. That will set the stage for what is to come into reality for you. It is with deep love, honor and respect that we bring this message to you today through EstaRa. We are the Masters of Light.
I share all of this experience with you for you to know that Ancient Egyptian energy is here at this time to assist us all. I believe clearly that my guides are asking you to discover; that is, if you have not already found what it is you value most in this life because that is what will remain/grow/expand/become your focus. With all the energy of the Lion's Gate, you are "roaring" to go. (Yes, my humor Lion's Gate, lion's roar. hahaha) The energy is ready for you to take action in your life, but where do you begin? So much information coming in on overload, perhaps for some of us as a result of the Lion's Gate, for others they are just all over the place and haven't tapered down to what they value most yet. This full moon energy is kicking with manifestation power, but it is begging you to balance your energy/thoughts/beliefs/truths. This is what my guides were referring to when they said, "begin to take action upon the things you value most in life." For example: if you want to feel well, then focus on your well-being not your unwell being and begin to take steps in that direction. Start learning about how you can better care for yourself, pay attention to the signs the universe is showing you and by all means realize that the power lies in your hands, not the doctors, not other people, not family, not friends, but YOU! Once you clearly decide what it is you want to "heal", then the universe will provide what you need to move you from "unwell to well". It sounds easy, I know, but the truth remains that each of you/us has the power to change everything and anything in this new earth reality that we are moving into (have been moving into). Finally, our earth will become the place that each of us has been holding inside as the truth for so long. (I will speak for me---YES FINALLY!) It will be easy for some of us who have been living it for sometime now, while others may have to play a little catch up. Be kind to your fellow human, they may be playing catch up. Think twice before getting angry or short with the human you are dealing with on the phone/in person/in a car/etc--they may be playing catch up! It would benefit you far more to be kind and try to understand before putting out the angry/short/frustrated energy because those feelings put out a lower vibration, whereas being kind puts out more heart energy and a higher vibration.
Our realities are changing if you are not already living it, then it is time for you to begin to see the magic that the earth holds for you. The changes will begin to pick up pace now, with the advent of the September Equinox, things will really begin to move to a place where it feels like everything is different and yet the same. Some of us have experienced glimpses of it already, and whoa, it was a little confusing, if not unbalancing at first. It is all good from where I stand on this journey. Unbalancing isn't always a negative thing; rather it is a good reminder to be present.
Well that is all I will explore with you for today, but might I make a few suggestions that my guides are providing me with.
- Remain grounded--it is so necessary at this time to anchor the energies. During this time of rapid change on the planet, our very beings (auras and physical bodies) have become receptacles of some of the negative energies we encounter day to day, place to place, experience to experience and grounding into Gaia is how the light pushes it through us out into the earth for Mother Earth to transmute it all to Love energy. (HUGE reminder to all my clients/students that I sound like a broken record to--Ground everyday at least once if not more than once a day!)
- Remain hydrated--it is really important to drink plenty of fresh, filtered or spring water. It is a way we can keep our physical vehicle (body) clean and healthy while we work as transmuters of energy. It is a job that we each took on when we remembered we are the light to heal ourselves and the earth.
- Remain in your heart--for all decisions look to your heart for the answers. It is not a time for going into our heads--we've been there and done that and look where it took humanity? Look to your heart when you are confronted with decisions from what you should buy at the grocery store to how to speak your truth to someone who may have hurt you.
- Remain CALM-- I like this one that came in just now. C is for remembering to find calm and at peace daily. A is for align with your truth and balance daily. L is for Live your life in the present moment. M is for Manifest from your heart.
In love and service,

Patented Human Pheromone
HOME > The Secret of Pheromone Perfume
A pheromone is emitted to the outside of the body through sweat glands and the like to communicate certain information to the same species as yourself to “gather other members”, “notify other members of danger", "show the way to a certain place", "attract the opposite sex", etc. Pheromones do exist in a variety of animals, including insects, fish, and mammals.
Nowadays, the word “Pheromone” is well known as the generic name of chemicals in humans such as androstenol, androsterone, estratetraenol, copulins and other possible human pheromones.
However, for many years, it was believed that these pheromones were a means of communication for other animals than humans and humans do not have these pheromones or an organ to detect them, because, unlike other animals, humans can use language. However, Dr. David Berliner discovered around 1987 that there are pheromones in humans, and humans also have the "vomeronasal organ", an organ that senses human pheromones.
After discovering the existence of human pheromones, Dr. Berliner studied the mechanism of human pheromones and succeeded in artificially creating human pheromones. In 1991, a paper was published in an academic journal that reported the synthetic human sex pheromones was effective in affecting human behaviors. The pheromone was patented in the U.S. in 1992 and in Japan in 2000.
Moreover, in August 2001, an article was published in the Washington Post which reported the existence of human pheromones and the vomeronasal organ, which senses pheromones in the human body. The doctor’s human pheromone gained worldwide attention.
Prosty Co., Ltd. is a licensed importer and seller of perfumes using the human pheromone since 2003. Ever since we started the sale of the pheromone complex products in Japan as a manufacturer, we have sold more than 300,000 bottles as of 2015.
Currently, two types of human sex pheromones are known to exist, one acting on males and one acting on females.
Of these two types of pheromones, the one that acts on females is called “Androstadienone”, a male pheromone compound found in the human male sweat, and the one that acts on males is called “Estratetraenol”, a female pheromone compound found in the female urine.
In a study of human pheromones, for example, a heterosexual women individual who sensed the "male pheromone compound" experienced in the increase in her female hormone secretion and so as her pheromone secretion.
Pheromones of the opposite sex helps an individual relax and secure, making him or her act more boldly and/or activating his or her pheromone secretion, which result in people around the individual finding him/her more attractive.
Based on the research on human pheromones, our pheromone perfume "Love Attraction" was born to enhance the user’s attractiveness from their inner self. The secret of this pheromones formula is the blending ratio of the pheromones. For example, the one for women contain 75% male pheromone and 25% female pheromone – more pheromone of the opposite sex.
Sensing the male sex pheromone unconsciously, not only do women become bold but also their pheromone secretion will increase because they feel happy sleeping next to a romantic partner. Moreover, the addition of the female sex pheromone, women will increase the elegance and sex appeal from their inside and it effects to other humans. (e.g. make others more attracted so on)
This pheromones have attracted thousands of appreciative comments from our customers such as it made partners aroused and increased more instances of affection, kissing, petting, dating and intercourse.
It is said the first signs of the positive effect is people are definitely nicer while you are wearing it. Why not try the pheromones for yourself and experience the same friendly effects?

While Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is usually linked with antibiotic-related disruption to gut microbiota, cases of non-antibiotic associated CDI indicate that other factors can influence it.
Since dietary metals are known to influence infection susceptibility, researchers exposed C. difficile- colonised mice to diets with three different levels of zinc for five weeks.
They found that gut microbiota were significantly altered and showed decreased diversity in mice fed a diet containing excess zinc. No such change was observed in mice fed a diet with low or normal amounts of zinc.
Mice given the high-zinc diet were also susceptible to CDI at lower antibiotic doses and experienced more severe disease than mice given less zinc.

Wyoming’s 12 status parks use up more than 100,000 landed estate of your state. Out of walking plus camping outdoors for you to sport fishing and then paddling, a state theme parks currently have everything, like novel (but however affordable) locations to remain seated: Glendo, Guernsey, together with Kitchen sinks Canyon most possess yurts, and even Keyhole Express Car park includes a treehouse in which individuals may stay. All the Wy Children eXtreme package is actually an excellent way of getting in place using a state areas, considering that it offers you academic not to mention beautiful software programs and then boosts children and teenagers to work as Frosh Rangers. Nys recreational as well prize that nationwide Just about every single Kids during a Playground Excrete, in which entitles 4th graders plus their loved ones so that you can 100 % free programs to be able to national parks. Most think theme parks can provide ADA accessible tenting as well as places to stay types of targeted traffic who would like to expend the actual night.
What exactly is often more evocative from the Aged Western world than a bos taurus travel? Feel what are the boys for yesteryear witnessed through being at probably Wyoming’s plenty of man ranches, just where you’ll have possibility of remove yourself by TV in addition to video games and discover their state becasue it is fast settlers did.

The 7D Ranch found in Cody seems to have special selection for youngsters matures about three to help 12; they can learn about supposed to be about Wyoming’s ecology and therefore the cable connections amongst ranching plus the all natural world.
The best reasons for experiencing no more than several cities or streets is that there is almost no lumination befoulment practically in connected with Wyoming. That suggests it can be an amazing insert to visit anti aging night sky. Almost all the nation’s amusement parks get shadowy atmosphere, but Demons Tower system is actually a particularly wonderful location for stargazing, along with interpretive programs will advise you this ancestral past behind the actual constellations. That Flame Esophagus Artificial lake, most suitable in the Ut outside, is usually a strong particularly deep spot. Come up with a person’s plans to coincide with one of the gross annual meteor bath areas, like the Perseids during Come july 1st and then May, as well as Geminids, that can be a lot of proactive at the begining of December.

Advances in Earth Observation Systems and Applications of Satellite Data
Tuesday, December 7, 2021 | 2:00PM – 3:00PM Eastern Time
Recent advances in space-based remote sensing and satellite data collection are advancing our ability to collect meaningful geospatial data for a broad variety of applications. Technologies that enable data collection – such as small satellites, miniaturization of processors, and advances in transmission and analysis technology – have allowed for more plentiful and quicker data collection. In addition, new sensor technologies (hyper spectral sensors, lidar, and more) have broadened the usefulness of the data that is collected. In this webinar, panelists will discuss the latest advances in satellite remote sensing and how satellite data is being used for practical applications.

A state board agreed this week to partner with the Public Policy Institute of California to examine the effects of a change to the state’s criminal justice policy called realignment.
California’s two-year old law downgraded certain crimes to jail-only offenses, diverting tens of thousands of lower-level felons from serving time in state prisons. It also put counties in charge of supervising lower level felons once they’re released from prison and parole violators.
But as KPCC’s Julie Small reports there’s no uniform way to track how counties are doing.
The Board of State and Community Corrections is responsible for tracking and sharing realignment data. Problem is counties don’t track the same data in the same way, and some cant’ afford to track much. Right now, there’s really no way to measure the effects of realignment. That’s where the Public Policy Institute of California comes in. Researcher Ryken Grattet says his team will develop a pilot system to make it easier to track felons in ten counties.
"We’re hoping to take a strong first step in making some things visible that kind of aren’t visible at the moment and help counties identify some practices and interventions that work," says Garrett.
The goal, he says, is to use the statistics they gather to find the cheapest, most effective strategies to reduce crime.
The data project is expected to be up and running next year.

GATESVILLE – Tasked with closing a $1.3 million budget gap to avoid either a tax increase or a shortfall in the reserve fund, Coryell County commissioners approved more spending than they cut during a budget workshop here Monday.
“We didn’t help ourselves much,” Commissioner Jack Wall said.
The commissioners informally agreed to add $81,000 to the 2014 budget to create a county human resources department. The sum includes a $48,000 salary for an HR manager plus benefits and office space, said County Auditor Ben Roberts.
Commissioners also gave tacit support to adding a prosecutor to the 52nd District Attorney’s office at a cost of about $64,000 and providing about $33,000 for a visiting judge and additional court reporter to help move more cases through the district court.
The commissioners’ court was split over whether to approve about $130,000 to add two patrol deputies to the county sheriff’s department or allocate $50,000 to the sheriff to provide security for the county courthouse.
Commissioner Daren Moore argued for the courthouse security over the deputies, but found himself alone on the court.
Wall voiced support for hiring the patrol deputies, and Commissioner Don Jones agreed after having first suggested hiring just one deputy.
Commissioner Justin Latham did not express support for the security spending and said he would like to see the line item for the new deputies cut from the budget.

Changing your scheduled content can be best for your online PR plans
Social media has given unprecedented power for companies to communicate directly with consumers.
One way to fully take advantage of social media is to use scheduling features to have your content scheduled ahead of time. However, scheduling content ahead of time isn’t a panacea for how your company handles social media. Sometimes, you’ll have to cancel your scheduled content due to various situations that come up or risk immediate problems or missed opportunities. These situations can be either good or bad.
So what situations should you cancel scheduled social media content for? There are three:
- A crisis has hit your company.
When a crisis happens to your company, your public relations team needs to be fully dedicated to it across the board. No matter how you respond, you need to make sure handling it is your PR’s core issue until the problem passes. For online content, canceling scheduled social media posts so you can handle the crisis is a must. Once things are back to normal, you can head back to the content you scheduled before the crisis hit.
- Something has happened in the world.
Major events can strike the world at any time. Content that would be considered harmless one day can be viewed as insensitive the next. When something major happens in the world, you should review your scheduled content for social media and cancel any content that could be seen as in poor taste in light of recent events. Failure to do so can have your social media harm your company instead of help it.
- More relevant content has come up
Trends and what’s popular change all the time on social media. If a big trend or something buzzworthy comes up and your company would like to participate in it, you can move back existing content and create new content that ties into the trend. Nobody knows how long a trend will last, so it’s best to strike while the iron is hot instead of letting only your scheduled content go out when you could’ve gotten in on the trend while it was in people’s minds.
You can also post content that ties into the trend along with your scheduled content if you feel that would work. It all depends on your company and your social media plans.
Scheduling your social media content is great, but you need to be willing to improvise in case of a major crisis, a world event, or online trend. Improvisation is one of the key skills of great public relations, so be willing to work with and around scheduled content instead of considering it set in stone as soon as everything is scheduled.

From where does the next woodland come? While seeds play a duty in starting the following forest, one of two people re-occupying a site, or spreading beyond their present boundaries, trees have actually multiple tactics to ensure their continuity with offspring.
From wherein does the next forest come? For countless of us, our experience cultivation plants comes from working v gardens. Also without a environment-friendly thumb, we"ve most likely all, in ~ some suggest in ours lives, put a particle in a cup of dirt to see if we could get something to grow. While seeds play a role in starting the next forest, one of two people re-occupying a site, or spreading past their existing boundaries, trees have actually multiple techniques to ensure their continuity v offspring.
You are watching: How to get seeds in the forest
Most, if no all, of our hardwood trees have actually reproductive processes, in enhancement to seeds, which permit them proceed to exist ~ above a website in the woods. One together strategy is sprouting. When the capacity can decrease as the tree ages, dormant sprout at the root collar (where the stem connects to the roots) have the right to sprout in an answer to damages or disease. We check out a the majority of stump sprouts after a tree has been harvested, and many the the trees in the present forest have actually sprouts as their begin - red maple is rather successful in ~ this strategy. Other trees have the right to send sprouts increase from their root networks - beech brush is an example of root sprouts. One more strategy used by some species is the capability to "layer." as a branch curves under to the ground, the may end up being covered by leaves and also duff, eventually allowing that branch to thrive roots and create a separate clone that will endure if something wake up to the parental tree - some spruces have actually this capability and a couple of non-native shrubs as well. And then we"ve gained a couple of plants the negatively affect our woodlands which have the right to grow brand-new plants native root fragments or rhizome pieces (rhizomes are subterranean trunk that have the right to send the end both new roots and brand-new stems - tree don"t have rhizomes, but problematic plants choose Japanese knotweed do). Vital consideration for every one of these "vegetative" reproduction tactics is the the brand-new tree is a clone of the parent. If the parental is lost as result of insect or disease, the sprouts will have the same susceptibility.
Seeds space a tree"s potential offspring from sexual reproduction strategies. If you"ll mental from her high institution biology classes, genes are offered to the seeds from every parent. These genes will certainly express in different ways as castle combine, leading to different physical characteristics in one individual. While some tree varieties can self-pollinate, wind and also insects room the element distributors of tree pollen to the female flowers the will result in particle production.
Just as trees have various strategies to pollinate their flowers - wind and also pollinators - therefore too carry out they have various strategies come disseminate the seed. Wind is an essential seed disperser for light seeds through wings (maples, ash, yellow poplar, pines, black color birch); gravity also does its component to move seeds. Overland water flow is responsible for motion of lighter seeds. Small mammals move larger seeds together they cache food because that winter survival; however, countless squirrels and also chipmunks tend to take it bites the end of seeds, limiting their capability to begin to grow. Blue jays room winners in distributing oak seeds - they have actually been recorded moving acorns several hundred to thousands of yards from parent trees. As humans, we additionally play a duty in seed distribution - think about those seeds that affix to your clothing, or soil on your vehicle to blow off at random times.
Different seed have different triggers the prompt a seed to germinate. Light and moisture are vital for most species. Some require a period of exposure come cold, over-wintering, before they begin to grow. Rather germinate in ~ days that falling come the ground. Some favor bare mineral soil; others have to be spanned in the duff the the woodland floor to grow. Over there are likewise those that can hang out hidden in the woodland floor because that years or decades before they respond to perfect problems to grow - these seeds are component of the particle bank.
The seed bank has an air of secret around it. It"s straightforward assumption to make the there are seeds on website that will certainly respond come a harvest or organic event. Yet not all the trees that we want to continue to exist on a site have that ability.
Yellow poplar has one of the longer-lived seeds in the seed bank at eight years. White ash and also black cherry can bank for increase to three years. The actual winners in the particle bank, with seeds remaining viable because that 50 come 100 years, are pin cherry (also called fire cherry) and black raspberry. Discovering the background of a site will assist you know what might come back after disturbance. Unfortunately, there space a few bad actors through the ability to bank their seed. Paulownia tomentosa (princesstree) seed can survive for two to 3 years in the woodland soil. Japanese stiltgrass seed can remain viable for three years. If you"re struggling through these non-native invasive species, girlfriend may have to keep fighting for multiple year to exhaust the seed bank - an essential consideration for her invasives treatment planning.
Native tree reproductive strategiesBeech has restricted seed dispersal. Blue jays are vital distributor. Many seeds germinate the an initial spring after seedfall, after over-wintering. Beech is a prolific source sprouter and also can also stump sprout. White ash wind-blown seeds space viable for three to four years, and require exposure to cold before germination. Younger trees have the right to resprout indigenous the source collar, but the ability declines v age. Red maple seeds space wind-dispersed. Seeds germinate soon after they fall, through 95% that viable particle germinating within the very first ten days. Red maple deserve to stump sprout. Black cherry seeds should overwinter. Pets contribute come the seed dispersal. Black cherry can delay germination because that up to 3 years, lying dormant in the woodland soil until problems are prime. North red oak acorns should overwinter prior to they germinate. The acorns loss in autumn and also germinate in spring. Blue jays and mammals spread out the seed. Oaks in the red oak team can stump sprout prolifically. White oak acorns germinate soon after they fall. Countless white oak acorns room damaged by insects or particle eaters. The blue jay is a main disperser. Oaks in the white oak group can stump sprout, but not quite as prolifically together those in the red oak group. Yellow poplar seed is wind-dispersed. Seed have the right to remain viable in the woodland floor for as much as eight years. Sugar maple particle is wind-dispersed. In nature, few persist together viable seeds for much more than one year. In the northern part of its range, street maple have the right to sprout prolifically; the sprouts much less vigorously in the southern component of its range. Chestnut oak acorns, as part of the white oak group, germinate shortly after lock fall. Mammals assist spread the seed. Chestnut oak stump sprouts an ext frequently as compared to other oaks. Hemlock seeds space gravity- or wind-dispersed. The seeds germinate the very first spring ~ falling. Particle is the hemlock"s only an approach for regeneration. Black color birch seeds is wind-dispersed. Seed germinate the feather after dispersal. It is a much less prolific stump sprouter. Black gum seed is spread by gravity and birds. The particle germinates the feather after seeds fall; it can likewise stump sprout. White jaw seed is distributed by wind and also animals. Seed germinates the very first year after seed fall. Hickory seed are distributed by mammals. The nut need to overwinter prior to germination. Hickories can stump sprout but that capacity declines with age.
Non-native tree and also plant reproductive strategiesTree of heaven has a tremendous capability to root and stem sprout. In truth sprouting is that is most typical reproductive method. Any threat or injury will cause tree of heaven to sprout prolifically. That is wind-dispersed seed have to overwinter before germinating, yet it does not persist in the seeds bank. Paulownia seeds is wind-dispersed and also can persist in the seed bank two to three years. Asiatic bittersweet has tremendous sprouting capacity - sprouting from the roots, root fragments, and the source collar. Any type of damages encourages sprouting. Its seeds room spread by birds, however are short-lived in the seeds bank. Japanese knotweed also has tremendous ability to sprout, sprouting native the stem, rhizome, or rhizome fragments. Japanese stiltgrass can seed financial institution up to three years. Gravity, water movement, and also human or animal carriers spread out its seed.
As you plan for the future of the woods, a expertise of forest background and the tree species that live in your woods, and also an understanding of their techniques to continue to exist, will be crucial to knowledge the potential of your forest and will permit your woods to achieve the goals you"ve set.

WVU Falls to Columbia at Virginia Duals
By Scott Castleman
WVU Sports Information Office
January 14, 2005
HAMPTON, Va. – The West Virginia University wrestling team bowed out of the Virginia Duals when it dropped a 20-16 match to Columbia at the Hampton Coliseum on Saturday, Jan. 14, in Hampton, Va.
The Mountaineers (1-4) dropped bouts at the 125, 165, 174 and 184-pound weight classes and was forced to forfeit the 141-pound weight class due to Brandon Rader not being able to wrestle due to injury.
WVU did look solid in its other bouts though as it took five wins on the morning. Senior Seth Lisa got back on track after a pair of tough outings yesterday by downing Matt DeLorenzo in the 133-pound bout 4-2. Lisa trailed 2-1 through the first period but recorded an escape and takedown in the second to get his eighth win of the season.
Freshman David Jauregui stayed perfect on the weekend with a 12-7 decision over David Sickles in the 149-pound bout. His win was followed by senior Matt Lebe who also won his third match of the weekend by defeating Tyler Thurgood 6-2 at 157-pounds.
After a trio of losses at the 165, 174 and 184-pound bouts Mountaineers Jared Villers and Matt Holsopple gave the team a solid finish as they both recorded wins. Villers put on the most dominating display of the afternoon by scoring an 11-3 major decision over Orrin Kleinhenz. The Akron, Ohio, native led by as much as 10 before Kleinhenz got on the board.
Junior Matt Holsopple ended the dual meet by pulling off a 4-3 decision over John Grando. The Sharpsville, Pa., native fell behind 2-0 on an early takedown but closed Grando’s lead with an escape and then answered with a takedown of his own. He later added another point on an escape.
The Mountaineers return to action on Friday, Jan. 20, when they open up EWL competition by hosting Bloomsburg. Wrestling begins at 7 p.m.

Mirages and Deep Time: Mónica de Miranda at Galeria Avenida da Índia
Nature, identity, body, reflection, river, island. At Galerias Municipais – Galeria Avenida da Índia, Mónica de Miranda presents Mirages and Deep Time, a multimedia exhibition on ecology and communion with nature. And also, black history and identity in the context of Portuguese colonial history, in particular about the black community that inhabited the banks of the Tejo and Sado rivers.
Entering into Galeria Avenida da Índia is refreshing. The green of nature floods our senses and, seconds later, we see the first two characters of the stories told by Mónica de Miranda. They emerge along the exhibition itinerary. Two young girls stand side by side, parallel to our body, staring straight into our eyes. Their clothes look like military uniforms. Are they guerrilla fighters? Next to this photo, we see Mirages (2022), a small ecosystem composed of a tree and natural vegetation, inserted in a parallelepiped made of wood and mosquito net. This natural setting is illuminated by an artificial white light. A mirror inside this structure reflects the interior of this ecosystem and our body. When we walk to another point in the exhibition, we notice the ambient melody in the exhibition venue, sporadically overlapped by other noises and voices. “Our bodies are older than images or words”, we hear.
We continue. Nature looms in a large-format photograph that takes up an entire wall. Deep Green (2022) shows one of the female guerrilla fighters in a dense landscape. The red of her beret stands out amidst the natural green. On this wall, we see another image superimposed: the young guerrilla women together again, sitting on a tree trunk fallen over a river, their legs in the water. Then Play in (2022), a complex installation, whose base is a wooden structure composed of several elements: a mirror, a red curtain and a kind of flowerbed with natural plants. Most of the installations have wheels at the base. They are mobile objects, as if they were made to be in motion. Play in is fantastic, dramatic and theatrical. In Salt Island (2022), we see a long photograph of a riverbank and the huge surrounding vegetation. It is a horizontal, black and white landscape that has the oddity of having been embroidered. With fine lines and different greens, Mónica de Miranda embroidered species of trees and bushes. The threads go beyond the limits of the image, as if the landscape came to life and became three-dimensional.
Flowing between two banks, the rivers of the world have been decisive for the communities that started to live on the banks. They offer water, biodiversity, fertile soil, and a fluid route to other places. On the other hand, it is a spiritual place, one that cleanses and purifies, that promises rebirth and baptises. Mónica de Miranda’s images in this exhibition were captured on the banks of the river Tejo and recapture the memory of black people enslaved in rice cultivation on the rivers Tejo and Sado, between the 15th and 18th centuries. It is something poorly explored by Portuguese historiography, as stated in an article in issue 44 of the scientific journal Diacronie. Studi di Storia Contemporanea:
“The blacks of the Tejo and Sado remain limited to an organic functionalism, as if the historiographical silence legitimated their absence in the history of these rivers. (…) The history we seek may have remained only registered in the socio-environments, transitory and peripheral, of the marshes and swamps. To continue this effort, and based on other studies of rice cultivation in transatlantic contexts, further archaeological (hydraulic systems, agricultural tools, etc.), archaeobotanical (rice seeds, ancestral substrates, etc.) or geophysical (landscape patterns at the surface or subsoil) investigations may clarify rice cultivation during the 15th-18th centuries and formulate new questions about unexplored documentation.”
Through art, Mónica de Miranda revisits these forgotten and unstudied places. In Tide (2022), a shelf on the wall displays four photographs of time-scarred objects. They look like artefacts and remind us of the importance of archaeologically exploring the banks of the Tejo and Sado. At the back of the gallery, the highlight is The Bath (2022), a diptych showing two women sitting on the riverbank vegetation. They seem the reflection of each other, they look at the landscape and are in communion with it. The title of the work suggests an intimate moment of harmony with the river waters, a fresh and pristine bath in memory of their ancestry. Further on, Lost and found (2022), an installation with five speakers, housed in wooden boxes of different heights. We hear voices, melodies and radio sounds. The words warn about our relationship with the soil, the earth and the climate. The Lunch on the Beach [after Manet] (2022) is a large format photograph divided into six parts. We see in it a lunch by the river between a woman and a man; seated opposite each other at a table, the image contains small still lifes (a radio, flowers and a basket with grapes). The guerrilla women appear one on each side in the edges of the photo, distant from the central characters, but they are part of the landscape, as if protecting the meeting that is taking place at the riverside. This is a wonderful and intimate image. It seems taken from a short story, where we see the extraordinary dimension of the natural landscape in relation to humans. On the other hand, the photograph reclaims the female perspective on art, in a new interpretation of the famous painting Luncheon on the Grass (1863) by Manet.
The exhibition ends with the film A Ilha (2022). We see all the images from the exhibition in movement. The characters acquire a voice, share ideas and doubts, question their place in the world, in the past, present and future. Their lines are poetic, reflective and existential. The connection to the land and soil, physical and spiritual, is clear. They wander the island, mapping with their bodies, exploring the water, vegetation, soil and subsoil. In the film, we see an archaeologist who reminds us of that work Tide (2022). Between fiction and reality, the place we see is a reference to the Portuguese village São Romão do Sádão (Sado), pejoratively called “the Island of the Blacks” between the 17th and 18th century (a term coined by José Leite de Vasconcelos in his work Etnografia Portuguesa). An agricultural map, from the end of the 19th century, underlines the continuous presence of black people near the Sado estuary margins, where some areas were named “Black Village”, “Black Sesmarias”, “Black Fountain” or “Captive’s Quarter”. “Spoils of a past. I will be free because I fight. I fight, I mourn in the fight. Our bodies are older than the images and the words”, we hear.
Mirages and Deep Time shows the cross-disciplinary work of Mónica de Miranda, a Portuguese artist of Angolan origin, in an exhibition about decolonisation and ecology. Between reflection and mirage, the mirror appears as an essential element. We cannot see the exhibition without being confronted with our own image. The artist deals with the spiritual and metaphysical aspects between humans, soil, territory, nature and resources, simultaneously reviving the memory of the black communities that inhabited the Tejo and the Sado rivers.
The exhibition is at Galerias Municipais – Galeria Avenida da Índia until September 25, 2022.

One morning Kyorai woke after a great storm to find that the fruit from 40 persimmon trees in his garden had fallen during the night, so he called his poetic retreat Rakushisha, or The House of Fallen Persimmons. You can still visit his cottage near Kyoto. These small, deciduous trees (Diospyros kaki) are native to China. Here, you will find two main types of persimmons: amagaki, or sweet persimmons, and shibugaki, or astringent persimmons. The sweet ones are shaped like a beef tomato and can be eaten while the fruit is still crisp. But the astringent ones, pictured above, are impossible to eat until they are overripe and the flesh has turned to jelly. This is due to high levels of tannin in the fruit. It can be removed, however, by peeling and rubbing with alcohol, or by stringing up the fruit for a few weeks and exposing it to sunshine and frost. These strings of fruit are a picturesque sign of autumn in the country. The resulting semi-dried fruit, known as hoshigaki, is very tasty and is one of the traditional New Year treats. U.S. Cmdr. Mathew Parry, who led the Black Ships that shook the Shogunate to the core in 1853, took the first Japanese persimmon trees to America in 1855. Since then, they have become a popular crop, outshining the modest fruit of the native American tree (D. virginiana).

Go away Big Jolly, nobody loves you
Currently wallowing at the bottom of the Championship, Yeovil Town have been putting their heads together over the past few weeks in an attempt to conjure up ways to gee-up the crowd at their Huish Park ground as the club fight tooth-and-nail to stay in the Championship.
In their infinite wisdom, the Yeovil directors have come up with a foolproof plan: they’re going to launch their own girl band which, according to the Guardian, is to be “based on the Pussycat Dolls”.
Yep. Yeovil are to become the first football club in the history of everything ever to have their own in-house girl band, who will perform at home matches for the rest of the 2013/14 season.
The club are now in the process of holding auditions for members, with females aged 18 and over being invited to Huish Park on 4th December to have a stab at making the final cut.
Again according to the Guardian, the final group will consist of a lead singer and “a group of south west-based dancers” who will then work with a record label to record and release a single on iTunes, with a swatch of the proceeds then going to Prostate Cancer UK (the Football League’s official charity of choice).
Of course, it wouldn’t be the first time that Yeovil have dabbled with the pop charts, with the Glovers’ Wurzels-esque anthem, “Yeovil True”, reaching the dizzy heights of No.36 in the Official UK Chart back in 2004 to celebrate the club bagging an FA Cup tie against Liverpool, which they duly lost…

Dr. Terry Wahls was diagnosed with secondary progressive Multiple Sclerosis (MS) diagnosis in 2007.
She was bedridden and could barely walk and sitting up was a challenge for her.
As a medical doctor, she dove into aggressive treatment options to try to beat her disease and symptoms, but unfortunately, they didn’t find much relief.
She also dealt with debilitating pain that made it hard for her to work and function normally.
Instead of succumbing to MS, Dr. Wahls vowed to do everything she could to alleviate the awful symptoms she was dealing with.
It led her down a path of discovering nutritional and lifestyle therapies that could offer real relief.
They were so effective that she became active again, both walking and cycling, and she returned to living a normal life, free from being wheelchair-bound, with a huge increase in her quality of life.
She went on to develop The Wahls Protocol and led several research studies, including eight clinical trials, that proved just how effective these dietary changes are in treating progressive MS.
In this episode with Dr. Anthony Gustin, you’ll hear about Dr. Wahls’ inspiring and incredible health journey, how nutrition can drastically impact autoimmune conditions, and the diets that can help these conditions.
You’ll also hear her thoughts on using the carnivore diet for autoimmune conditions, the two nutrient-dense foods she recommends eating whether you’re sick or not, and the spiritual component of healing and health.
Dr. Wahl also shares the symptoms and conditions that may be a red flag for future autoimmune issues, what you can do to treat those before they become worse, and the mindset she adopted to help herself and her family get through the most challenging parts of her health journey.
Dr. Terry Wahls is a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine. She teaches internal medicine residents in their primary care clinics and does clinical research.
Dr. Wahls has been published in over 60 peer-reviewed scientific abstracts, posters, and papers, and her work has been cited thousands of times.
She’s also on her eighth clinic trial, working hard to show that dietary and lifestyle interventions are effective treatment options for people suffering from autoimmune conditions.
In this episode, you’ll learn about the following topics:
Dr. Terry Wahls’ incredible health journey and how she went from barely being able to walk or sit up to being active again and living a high quality of life despite being diagnosed with secondary progressive MS
Dr. Wahls’ aha moment in her healing health journey and how she started researching alternative treatment options
The diets being studied for progressive MS treatments and which ones have shown the most promising results
The nutrients she focused on adding to her diet to start repairing her mitochondrial health
Is the carnivore diet a good option for people with autoimmune conditions like MS?
Is there only one diet or more than one that works at increasing the longevity and quality of life in MS patients?
Two nutrient-dense foods Dr. Wahls included in her diet to improve her MS outcomes
Other conditions that may benefit from The Wahls Protocol
The other lifestyle factors Dr. Wahls addressed aside from nutrition to improve her condition and quality of life
The spiritual component to better health and healing
What keeps Dr. Wahls going now that she’s seen incredible improvements in her condition

* Despite the disaster in Cape Town harbour earlier this week, our country has a lucrative future as far as cruise tourism goes. Nine cruise ships have scheduled stops off our coast for 2015, in Cape Town, Durban, Richard’s Bay, Port Elizabeth, and East London, a 70% increase in cruise liner passengers. A number of the cruise ships are returning to the country, after previous visits. The Queen Mary 2 will return for a second visit next year, and the Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth will visit in 2016. Vital to the expansion of cruise tourism is world-class terminals in ports, and Cape Town’s inefficiency as far as Customs staff goes was in the spotlight this week. Cape Town is one of the most popular stops in the region, for American tourists in particular.
* National Minister of Tourism Derek Hanekom will lead a local delegation representing our tourism industry to World Travel Market (WTM) in London this coming week, one of the largest (after ITB in Berlin) tourism trade exhibitions in the world. More than 50000 tourism players are likely to attend WTM. The Minister said: ‘The WTM is one of the premier events where South Africa engages with the global travel trade. Besides maintaining excitement about our destination, and all that we have to offer, this platform is about doing business and growing international tourist arrivals to our country. We will be promoting the variety of experiences we offer in South Africa, and build on our reputation as a unique, diverse, friendly and accessible destination‘. The Minister will address a summit relating to mega-events and tourism at WTM, based on our country’s FIFA 2010 World Cup experience.

We are extremely proud to have you living in your newly adopted home city Cape Town, and that you are such a fantastic tourism ambassador for our country in general, and for Cape Town in particular. You put Cape Town on the world tourist map with your article earlier this year in the New York Times about Cape Town being the number one ’52 places to go in 2014′, the best free publicity our city has ever had.
I was therefore shocked to see your article about ‘Top Chefs in Cape Town’ in Travel + Leisure, and the choices you made in selecting what you have listed as the top five chefs in Cape Town: Luke Dale-Roberts of The Test Kitchen, Peter Tempelhoff of The Greenhouse, Reuben Robertsons Riffel of Reuben’s x 4 (in Franschhoek, Cape Town, Robertson, and Paternoster) plus Racine, Bruce Robertson of The Flagship, and Franck Dangereux of The Food Barn, in that order. You did not define your guidelines for selecting the five chefs, nor did you appear to use the same criteria in selecting the chefs that are on your list – the justification for inclusion appears more anecdotal and random. Equally, I am surprised about the chefs you excluded from the list!
You seem to praise Chef Franck for his ‘foreign pedigree, but why single him out when Chefs Luke and Peter also have foreign roots? Does that make them better chefs? All of the chefs on your list have worked overseas, so they deserve equal mention in this regard. You ‘warn’ Travel + Leisure readers to ‘watch out for these five Cape Town chefs and memorize their names now – they’re poised to break through to the global stage any day now‘!
Let me comment on each of your Top Chef choices: (more…)

A set of three Nelson Mandela mini Lego figurines has also been launched.
* The few women honoured in Cape Town by means of statues is soon to become something of the past, when steel cut-outs of such women luminaries and outspoken leaders as the late Albertina Sisulu, Miriam Makeba, Adelaide Tambo, and Nadine Gordimer are erected along the Fan Walk leading to the Cape Town Stadium in Green Point, a World Design Capital 2014 project called ‘Wonder Women’.

If it depends on Bunte magazine, Germany’s largest selling lifestyle magazine, the Boerewors dishes sold at Gourmet Boerie are a memorable part of a visit to Cape Town!
Guiding visitors to Cape Town, last week’s article about our city is the last substantial one since the 2010 World Cup, when Cape Town was featured in Bunte regularly. Cape Town has fallen off Bunte‘s travel radar, despite Germany now being the largest source country for tourists to Cape Town.
Table Mountain, Camps Bay, and Robben Island are described as the tourist classics of Cape Town. The article advises visitors to see the city from the top of the mountain, so that one can admire the view of the city centre, the other mountains, and the ocean. Views from Lion’s Head and Chapman’s Peak are also praised, as is what is described as one of the longest coastal roads along the Atlantic Seaboard travelling south.
A number of ‘culinary delights‘ are recommended for eating and drinking. Good coffee is recommended at Origin, roasting its own coffees, and is said in the article to be in ‘Cape Quarters’, but obviously meaning De Waterkant! Belthazar is recommended for (more…)

On Thursday evening I was invited by Communication Services Africa (CSA) to attend The Peninsula All-Suite Hotel monthly Wine & Dine at its Sunset Restaurant, paired with Steenberg Wines, both clients of the PR consultancy. We had a fun evening, with a lot of banter from both the host Chris Godenir and Steenberg General Manager and Cellar Master John Loubser.
Chris Godenir has been at Three Cities for a number of years, and has a special relationship with his staff at The Peninsula All-Suite Hotel, not losing his cool easily. One has to get used to his sense of humour, which he surrounds himself with continuously, making one unsure whether he says something in jest or is serious. Poor John and I both were on the receiving end of Chris’ jibes, and I decided to take the positive out of his comments, which in my case showed that he reads my blog!
Chris announced that the Wine & Dine was the first opportunity for their new chef Hajierah Hamit to cook for a special group, the dinner being sold out. I sat next to Chris’ vivacious wife Alison, and she told me interesting stories about integration in the workplace, the challenge no longer between different cultural groups, but rather between age groups, quoting generation Y and X behaviours in the workplace, and how these can cause conflict. She is a consultant smoothing over such age related conflict in the workplace. At the media table too were Joanne and Patrick Gibson (Joanne writes for the Sunday Times Food Weekly about wine), Cayleigh Bright of Glamour Online and her friend Will, and Megan Drury from CSA.

The Mining Indaba is an annual bonanza for Cape Town, the city being booked up to the same extent as over the Festive Season, with more than 8000 delegates attending the conference and exhibition in the next week, and many more ancillary persons staying in Cape Town to connect and negotiate with important international mining executives. One feels sorry for tourists trying to obtain last minute accommodation in Cape Town, as they probably will have to stay in far out suburbs, or even in other towns near Cape Town next week.
‘Investing in African Mining Indaba‘ is the largest mining investment event in the world, and the largest mining event in Africa, and is the largest gathering of the most influential mining stakeholders and decision-makers, according to its website. It has been hosted in Cape Town for the past 19 years. Last year 7800 delegates from 1500 companies from 100 countries attended the Mining Indaba. (more…)

* Malaysian journalist David Bowden visited Cape Town late last year, when our mountains were snow capped, and he enthused about the city, documenting his journey as ‘Cape capers’. He was accommodated at the Twelve Apostles hotel, and was shown Hout Bay, Chapman’s Peak, Klein Constantia, Steenberg, Boulders’ Beach, and Bo-Kaap.
* Meryl Streep has waxed lyrical about her time in South Africa, both in Cape Town whilst shooting ‘The Giver‘ and on holiday with her family in an unnamed game reserve, in an interview on the Ellen Degeneres Show, which has 3 – 4 million viewers. A ‘highlight’ for her was being in South Africa when Nelson Mandela passed away, and experiencing the happiness and grief all in one.

Cape Town experienced one of its busiest Festive Seasons ever, so much so that the city can be said to have been out of control as far as access to its attractions, beaches, shopping malls, and roads was concerned. Perfect weather and a weak Rand attracted locals to the Mother City. Once again the Atlantic Seaboard was the most attractive location for tourists in terms of restaurants, beaches, and accommodation, with resultant chaos in this area in particular at all levels.
The Festive Season period was a very short ten day period, from 27 December – 5 January this year, and almost every accommodation establishment, especially those on the Atlantic Seaboard, was fully booked. Guests were predominantly from Johannesburg, or living overseas with South African family connections, meeting up in the city. At Whale Cottage Camps Bay our international visitors were Norwegian, British, and Dutch during this period.
While it felt fantastic that Cape Town was so popular, one felt that the city was doing itself a disservice in that tourists had to experience: (more…)

Today ends one of the less nice years, and the number 13 in it should have been a warning of how bad it could become. While it has many negative associations, it also was a year of highlights, from our perspective.
For me personally the year was overshadowed by the passing of my father, and while I was lucky to have him in my life for such a long time, reaching the ripe old age of 97, it still was a shock when he went in April. He brought our family to South Africa, and specifically to the Cape, for which I will be eternally grateful. He helped shape my interest in the business world, and took a keen interest in my Market Research, Public Relations, and hospitality careers. Added to this was the further loss of our beloved Madiba, who passed away on 5 December, a shock when it happened, despite one knowing that it was just a matter of time. It felt like a double whammy loss year. Heaven has gained two truly great gentlemen.
2013 has had some positive aspects: we celebrated the fifth anniversary of our Blog, well established and with more than 30000 unique readers per month. We thank our loyal readers and commenters, as well as the Public Relations companies which feed us with up to date information and invite us to launches, particularly in the wine industry. We particularly commend Waterford Communications for its professionalism in dealing with us as friends as well as writers, never taking any coverage for granted, always being willing to assist with more information, having a knack for choosing excellent weather days for client functions, and saying ‘thank you‘ for coverage received, a rare treat! The PR company leads an industry plagued by poor writers, who bombard one with media releases (often being irrelevant), repeating information already written about, and demanding proof of coverage granted to the client brand!
