The set represents an early scene from Star Wars Episode IV [A New Hope] when the rebels ship, Tantive IV, is being attacked and boarded by Darth Vader along with other members of the Empire. The rebels have obtained plans stolen from the Empire which contain blueprints for a massive, planet-sized super weapon known as the Death Star. The plans are hidden within the astromech droid R2-D2. To escape the Empire and prevent them from obtaining the stolen plans, R2-D2 and his faithful companion, C-3PO, board one of the ship's escape pods and use it to safely evade the Empire's grasp. The pod eventually lands on the desert planet of Tatooine, where they encounter many crucial Star Wars characters, including Jawas - of which we receive two in this set.
The build of the set is very straightforward, fast, and simple. You'll probably be able to assemble this set in around half an hour and be flying the pod around the house with your kids [or by yourself…that's fun too] in no time. Once assembled, the pod is incredibly sturdy and can certainly stand up to a bit of rough play and air swooshing. The only downside to the set is it's reliance on large stickers to provide the main details of the exterior of the pod. The middle and main focus point of the pod is assembled using four large ¼ cylinder pieces. Four large stickers are then applied around the tops of each cylinder piece to proved the pods spaceship-like detailing. In no way do these large stickers decrease the play value of the set, but they do create a bit of an eye-sore in the middle of the pod and can take some patience to apply. Although, the trans-neon orange used on the pod's back engines is great!
The top of the escape pod is attached via hinge pieces which allow the top to open, revealing a nicely detailed interior for the size of the set. The interior of the pod is also large enough to easily house both the C-3PO and R2-D2 minifigs. The build includes two carefully placed jumper studs spaced just right in order to allow R2 to comfortably attach toward the back of the pod. I appreciate the detail of the "window" stickers on each door of the pod. Although their placement does not match the pod in the original film, they do represent imagery seen in the film and adds more detail and play-value to the inside of the pod.
My favorite piece included in the set [and the only printed piece included in the set] is hidden toward the front of the pods interior. What looks like a simple pod dashboard can be pulled up to reveal a 2x2 printed tile containing what is meant to be the stolen Death Star plans. For fans of the original Star Wars trilogy, this is a very cool piece. It stays true to the retro late-70s graphic seen in Episode IV.
One of the best things this set has going for it is the minifigs. You get a great and highly collectible collection of minifigs, including an updated for 2016 version of both C-3PO and R2-D2, and two Jawa minifigs which were previously only available with the very expensive UCF version of the Sandcrawler. Honestly, the minifigs alone are worth the price of this set [$24.99 as of the time of this post].
If you're a fan of Star Wars, and you're looking to add to your LEGO Star Wars collection, then the minifigs and the great printed tile containing the Death Star plans makes this set a worthwhile purchase. Also, if you're looking for a great, swoosh-able and spacey LEGO set for your child, then this set is a good buy for you as well. However, if you're looking a great set to build and show off on a shelf for display purposes, then you might want to skip this one.

Final Act – Author Brenda-Lee Ranta
By Raja's Insight on March 9, 2018 • ( 3 )
He had fallen asleep
missing the First and
Second Act of the play
He had failed to read
the marquee; his name
as supporting actor
She was gone; he
had missed every
single dress rehearsal
He missed the part
where he was left
to raise his children
in the play where he
was left bankrupt
where he had worked
to be left with nothing
where she had been
duplicitous and selfish
The curtains closed,
he took a final bow
to a silent audience
He went home with
his Playbill, shuttering
at the coming reviews
He was to be
his worst critic

Meet Ella Quinn – The Literary Lounge Q&A
'I treat The Regency era as if it were a foreign country, and attempt to suss out the nuances of living there,' says historical romance writer Ella Quinn, our latest guest at The Literary Lounge.
A relative 'newbie', Ella Quinn has burst onto the historical romance writing landscape like a whirling dervish. She has published four books in quick succession in Kensington's digital programme and is putting the finishing touches to a further two Regencies.
Before settling down to write, Quinn had many different jobs and incarnations, moving from playing in a rock band and tending bar to enlisting in the Army and training to be a lawyer, the latter of which she worked as for 20 years.
Quinn travelled extensively as a child and lived in five different states before the age of five, before going abroad with her grandfather. She fell in love with Morocco at the age of nine and her absolute fascination with other cultures began there.
After living and working in England, Europe, South Pacific and Central America, among other places, Quinn decided to retire with her husband of 30 years to the beautiful island of St Thomas (the US Virgin Islands), where she now writes.
She sat down to pen her first novel after having a vision of an angry woman in a Regency dress. She was taken on by Elizabeth Pomada of The Larsen–Pomada Agency – and the rest, as they say, is history.
Desiring Lady Caro is the fourth book in Quinn's acclaimed 'The Marriage Game' series, which also features: The Seduction of Lady Phoebe; The Secret Life of Miss Anna Marsh; and The Temptation of Lady Serena.
Q&A – Ella Quinn
LS: Firstly, Ella, welcome to The Literary Lounge at The Literary Shed. Thank you so much for agreeing to spend some time with us.
Q: You've travelled extensively during your life. Has that been for work? Family? Have your travels informed your writing at all?
EQ: When I was younger it was because my brother and I were bounced back and forth between my grandparents. Then when I was an adult, I joined the Army. I think living in so many different places, and from a young age, [has] given me the ability to delve into the cultures, and not assume every place is like the last place I lived. I treat the Regency era as if it were a foreign country, and attempt to suss out the nuances of living there.
Q: Which books have influenced you most?
EQ: I really can't point to books, but to authors whose books have influenced me. As I've often said, Georgette Heyer is one, but there is also Dorothy Dunnett, Elizabeth Peters, Robert Ludlum, and John le Carré, to name a few.
Q: You've cited Georgette Heyer as a particular favourite historical romance writer. Who are your favourite hero and heroine?
EQ: My favourite heroine is Sophy from The Grand Sophy (1950): she is intelligent, capable, kind and completely ruthless. My favourite hero … I'll go with Hugo Darracott from The Unknown Ajax (1959; see right). He has a great sense of humour, but is also very savvy, and sweet without being sappy.
Q: How long did it take you to write your first novel? Was it published?
EQ: The first draft took me one month. After that, I had to learn some writing craft, and how to edit. It is published. It is The Seduction of Lady Phoebe [the first in 'The Marriage Game' series; 2013].
Q: Do you think writing is a gift or a craft that can be honed like any other? Or is it a little of both?
EQ: I think writing is a bit like playing an instrument. Some people can't do it at all, some people do well, and are technically correct, then you have the ones with the ability to make you lose yourself in the music.
LS: That's a good analogy.
Q: What are your essential writing tools? Those items you have near you before you begin a book.
EQ: My computer, even I can't read my handwriting, and an internet connection. I keep the online version of the Oxford English Dictionary open all the time, and I research as I go along. This presupposes that my muse has already given me the first scene.
Q: Do you research your books yourself? How important is historical detail to you?
EQ: Historical detail is very important to me, and I do my one research, unless someone else I trust has done it as well. I don't believe reinventing the wheel is helpful as long as the wheel was constructed properly.
Q: You're a member of the RWA 'Beau Monde'. Can you explain what this is and what the benefits are for anyone wanting to start writing Regencies?
EQ: RWA or Romance Writers of America, is a profession organization for romance writers. The Beau Monde is the Regency chapter within RWA. Anyone writing romances should belong to RWA. It has local chapters and conferences, as well as the National conference. I firmly believe that romance writers are the most generous community of people I've ever met.
The Beau Monde, as a group, is supportive and extremely knowledgeable. Our members range from just beginning to New York Times bestselling-authors, such as Eileen Dreyer and Eloisa James. Anytime I get stuck, I know I can call on The Beau Monde to help me find an answer.
Q: Would you ever base your historical romances in another period? If so, which one and why?
EQ: I have not yet done so, but I will end up going into the Victorian era as my characters are having children.
Q: If you could start over again would you still write a series? What's the most challenging aspect of it?
EQ: Absolutely! I love reading a series. [The most challenging aspect is] keeping the characters and facts straight. I've had to begin a bible of the places and characters.
Q: Now you've published several books, is there anything you've found particularly surprising about the publishing industry?
EQ: Yes, how few clients literary agents take a year. I was completely shocked to discover it ranged between one and five new clients a year. Fortunately, I already had my agent by then. Also, the time it takes for agents to get back to an author, even for a rejection.
Q: What's your most/least favourite aspect of it?
EQ: The length of time it takes to get paid. I've been published for 6 months and just now received my first check.
Q: You have a strong social media presence. If you had to choose one platform that's been the most useful in promoting you as an author/your books, which would it be? Twitter or Facebook, for example?
EQ: I honestly don't know. I think in many ways they serve two different audiences.
Q: How important is it for authors to have blogs?
EQ: For a new author, I think it's essential. If an author has been around for years, and is consistently a bestseller, then not so much.
Q: Many of your peer authors publish group blogs. Is this something you would consider doing?
EQ: Yes, and I have a group of authors that have decided to form a group blog, the problem is we have not had the time to get the blog up.
Q: Have any authors been particularly helpful/supportive since you started publishing?
EQ: Definitely. Not only does everyone get out there and help spread the word, but Grace Burrowes, Sally MacKenzie, and Eileen Dreyer have done cover quotes for me.
LS: That's extremely good to hear. The romantic-fiction community appears to be extremely supportive and nurturing of new talent.
Q: How many books are going to be in this series?
EQ: 'The Marriage Game' will have eight full-length novels and one novella. [Desiring Lady Caro, book #4, published in April 2014; see left.] I'm writing book #6 now. I'll have the next two written in the next few months. Although, my first contract was for three books, they were already written. Last year was spent building my social media platform, learning to edit and promoting releases. So I only got two and the novella done.
Q: How long will it take you to write them?
EQ: Book #6 will be finished this month. I plan to complete the next book by June or July, and the last book by September.
Q: Have you got another series of books or standalones mapped out already?
EQ: I do. I have the first two books of the next series written. One has been reedited, and I'll reedit the next one as soon as I finish book #8 of 'The Marriage Game'.
Q: If you could give one piece of advice to aspiring authors, what would it be?
EQ: Don't listen to everyone, but learn to take criticism.
Q: You live in beautiful US Virgin Islands. Would you set/Are you setting a book there?
EQ: Book #5, Enticing Miss Eugénie Villaret, Wivenly's story, is based down here. That will be out in August.
Q: Where do you write? Do you have a special place or room?
EQ: I've set up a desk in front of a sliding glass door where I have a view of Lovenlund Bay [St Thomas, US Virgin Islands].
Q: Would you ever write in a different genre?
EQ: I can't imagine it right now. Occasionally, I get a vision of a time travel book, but it would be going back to the Regency.
Above: Ella's comfort-read author Georgette Heyer is photographed here at home, c.1939, with her dog, whom she described as a 'sour and rather cynical snob'
Q: Finally, in challenging times, is there one book that you would go back to and read again for comfort?
EQ: Any of my Georgette Heyers fit the bill. I've read them so often that when they rereleased in the late 90s I bought all new copies. I also have them on Kindle.
LS: That's a great place to end, Ella, especially as Georgette Heyer's top of our 'a pair of safe arms' authors' list, too, along with Nora Roberts and Agatha Christie.
It's just left for us to say a very big thank you so much for spending time in The Literary Lounge.
We wish you all the best with Desiring Lady Caro and your other forthcoming titles.
EQ: Thank you so much for having me.

Zandvoort's Weirdest Corner And Its Atypical Racing Line Explained
Last weekend, Formula 1 found itself back at Circuit Zandvoort in the Netherlands for the first time since 1985. It provided a unique challenge to the drivers due to its banked sections, particularly Turn 3, also known as Hugenholtz.
Here, we initially saw drivers taking dramatically different lines while figuring out the optimal way round. This is because Hugenholtz is no ordinary banked turn – it uses the Fibonacci Sequence to progressively increase the angle of the tarmac. On the inside of the turn, it's just 4.5 degrees, but on the outside, it's 19. So, the corner is more of a bowl than a bank.
It's this, explains Scott Mansell in his latest Driver61 video, that leads to the differing approaches. If the corner wasn't a bowl, drivers would turn in and apex on the inside either early or late depending on their preference, giving themselves a fairly straight line on the exit. Indeed, we did see some drivers tackle the corner like this over the weekend, but it wasn't the fastest way around.
Counter-intuitively, the optimal line involves sticking wide around the whole thing. We'll let Mansell get into the minutiae, but to sum up, it's mostly down to increased vertical loads providing more grip thus more speed. And since the track is more heavily angled at the top, this effect is greater if you stick to the outside line.
There's an added bonus to this method, too. Turn 3 is still heavily cambered to the inside on its exit, but if the car is taking a wide line through the bend, it ends up on a flatter piece of track with the weight more evenly spread between the axles just when the driver needs to get back on the power.
By the time of the race, the consensus was that the wider, higher line was the best one, which opened up the opportunity for some to stay lower and try for an overtake. In the end, the Dutch Grand Prix wasn't quite as exciting as some of the thrillers we've had this year, but Turn 3 and Zandvoort's other quirks certainly spiced things up.

Lemonade Day is May 5 and allows children to open their own stand to learn about financial literacy, goal-setting and operating a business.
Mikaila Ulmer sells her Bee Sweet Lemonade at the HOPE farmers market for National Lemonade Day.
Lemonade Day started in Houston and is now in 67 cities throughout the U.S.
More than 1,100 Austin-area children have already signed up to participate in Lemonade Day on May 5, a free program aimed at teaching business skills, financial literacy and goal setting, said Morgan Briscoe, president of the West Austin Chamber of Commerce.
Lemonade Day began in Houston in 2007 as a way to teach children how to start, own and operate a business by selling lemonade and other goodies from their own stand. The program has expanded to 67 cities in 23 states and three countries.
On average, children could earn about $224 per stand and may keep any profits. Children may register to open a stand as an individual or a group, and after registration participants gain access to the Lemonopolis virtual tool.
Briscoe said the West Austin chamber is promoting the event because the group wanted to look for more opportunities to promote learning for children as part of a new initiative.
"We think that's something that sets us apart from other chambers," she said.
Using existing contacts, the chamber has been working since February to promote the event, including getting H-E-B as a sponsor as well as getting the city of Austin to waive any fees or permits that would have been required to open a lemonade stand, enabling children to open one almost anywhere May 5.
Two Lemonade Day University sessions are also being held April 29. Mentors will explain the program and help children set goals. The session at the Circle C Community Center, 7817 La Crosse Ave., Austin, starts at 9 a.m., and the session at Concordia University Texas, 11400 Concordia University Drive, Austin, starts at 3 p.m.

If you want to avail of free pot belly pigs, you can adopt one from the animal shelter. During the mid 90s when the potbelly pigs were imported from China and Vietnam via Canada, its popularity was unprecedented. Unfortunately, potbelly pig owners did not do their homework and they end up abandoning their pets because they can no longer care for them. After the enthusiasm subsides, people would realize that not everyone has the patience and dedication to take care of the potbelly pigs so they would just abandon their pets to shelters and sanctuaries. If you want to obtain free potbelly pigs, think hard first before bringing one home.
Potbelly pigs are ideal pets unfortunately they are not for everyone. This may be due to various reasons, ranging from zoning laws, to unpreparedness and lack of commitment from the part of pet owners. If you have really decided in taking care of pot belly pigs, then you can adopt free potbelly pigs from shelters and sanctuaries. This entire free potbelly pigs require adoptive families and investing in them would surely result in positive gains.
The initial process is to double check with city hall or your local SPCA if your area is allowed to raise potbelly pigs. If you don't have any zoning problems then consult the list of shelters that NAPPA (North American Potbellied Pig Association) recommend.
The Internet and other websites are also great sources for obtaining free potbelly pigs. There are photos available and you can locate the listings near your region, view them and even read available biographies.
Select a pot-bellied pig to adopt. Even though they're free potbelly pigs, you still need to pick a healthy piglet since they won't mature after three years old. Take the initiative to research on the pigs background, check its blood tests so you won't end up with a sick dog.
Fix your house so it can welcome the free potbelly pig. You can ask a veterinarian for their diet and nutrition, and make sure that the house is pig proof. Provide a place outside of the house where they can satisfy their natural instincts like playing, rooting and waddling. Owning a potbelly pig is a full time commitment but rest assured, because of their high intelligence and extremely affectionate character, your free potbelly pig would give you a priceless relationship.

I love mixing up my style and after a recent wardrobe clear out, I've started to rekindle my love for dresses.
I find all my pretty dresses get forgotten after summer, packed away in September never to be seen again until May, and it's such a bloody shame. So, I've dug a few out and challenged myself to find a way to wear them this winter. I got used to sticking the same old pair of jeans on and not thinking about other options, so it's refreshing to start getting excited about clothes again.
If there was ever a dress made for winter, the midi is your girl. It's one of my favourite styles to wear during the colder months as it's the perfect compromise between comfort and style. I think Warehouse nail it when it comes to midi dresses , their trans-seasonal prints and colours are wardrobe staples that you can wear through to next year and beyond.
If you're thinking, 'I can't wear that floral, floaty midi in winter..', think again. You absolutely can! You just have to make it a more suitable for the good old British weather. Throw on a biker jacket to add warmth and try clinching your dress in at the waist with a simple belt to add shape.
I was always bit wary about wearing a midi with a winter coat, in case I looked like a sac of potatoes but I've learnt the right shape can really make an outfit pop. Try experimenting with coat lengths to find out which style suits you and the dress. A shorter jacket can help balance out the length and give the dress more shape. Alternatively a longer coat of the same length can look amazing with a more fitted midi. It's all about finding your style and what you are comfortable with.
Add a little warmth to your summer midi by layering a cosy knit over your dress and pulling it all together with a waist belt for the perfect winter revamp. Why not try layering a thinner co-ordinating jumper under your favourite wrap dress like Patrica from Peexo? I love the way she styles up a colourful, summer dress with a grey roll neck for cool a seasonal look.
Midi dresses are the perfect 'all in one' outfit, and you can really make a statement by picking a bold colour or print, just pair with plainer outwear to really show of the dress. Even a floral summer print can be rocked in winter with a black biker or by picking out a single colour from the dress and matching your accessories to it.
When it comes to what shoes to wear with a midi, you can't go wrong with a good pair of ankle boots. They are the perfect style for a midi length, not to mention they'll help keep your little tootsies warm in the winter months. If you want a more formal look to your outfit, pair your dress with some simple heels or high boots for a night out or evening dinner. For a more casual look throw on a pair of trainers such as converse for a comfy everyday outfit.
Read: How to add colour to your wardrobe this season.
There really are no rules when it comes to your own style, just experiment and find what feels comfortable to you.
I am really enjoying wearing more dresses during winter. I often convince myself that 'it's too cold to wear that' or 'that print is just for summer', but I am learning it's all about what you wear it with. Winter clothes shouldn't be boring so if you love it, rock it!
What item of clothing are you loving this winter?

Blaming you for the fact I've just lost a good hour of my Sunday looking at midi dresses on the Warehouse site, you're right wow they have some beauties!
This is such a great idea, so much of my wardrobe gets left untouched during Winter, I'm going to take a look through mine and get involved!

Is California ready to ban gas-powered cars? Not yet. But they're thinking about it

Chris Woodyard, USA TODAY Published 5:53 p.m. PT May 16, 2019 | Updated 11:45 a.m. PT May 19, 2019
LOS ANGELES — California without gasoline-burning cars? The idea is starting to be floated.
A top regulator came close Thursday, but ultimately backed away from directly raising the notion of giving the boot to exhaust-belching automobiles, a staple of life in the freeway-happy Golden State for more than a century.
Speaking at an air-quality workshop in San Diego, Mary Nichols, chair of the California Air Resources Board, was expected to toss in the idea of killing off gas-powered cars based on her prepared remarks. They called for her to list ways in which the state can get tougher on pollution.

The list ...: America's most eco-friendly vehicles from BMW to VW, includes a Tesla trio and two Toyotas
"That might mean, for example, tougher requirements for low-carbon fuels, looking at tighter health-protective regulations on California refineries, doubling down on our enforcement efforts on mobile and stationary sources — and might lead to an outright ban on internal-combustion engines," according to the remarks obtained by Bloomberg News.
But when it came to actually delivering the remarks, the direct reference to a gas-engine ban was omitted. In closing the conference, Nichols said if the air can't be cleaned fast enough, tougher measures like "fees, taxes and bans on certain types of vehicles" might be required. She added, "These are things that most of us don't think is the right way to go."

Nichols wasn't proposing a gas-vehicle ban on a whim, said Simon Mui, senior scientist for the Natural Resources Defense Council. Rather, she was reacting to steps that California may have to take to stay in compliance with toughening federal clean-air regulations. If the state, famous for its smoggy air, were to fall short, it would face sanctions.
"The feds have clearly put the states into a bind," Mui said after attending the conference.
In California, a ban on the sale of internal-combustion cars is considered a fanciful idea. In fact, a bill to ban the sale of internal-combustion cars by 2040 was introduced in the California Legislature last year, though it didn't get far.

"It's time that we clear the path for emissions-free transportation and take significant steps to achieve our ambitious emissions reduction goals," Assemblyman Phil Ting, a San Francisco Democrat, said in a statement at the time.

The California New Car Dealers Association opposed the measure, saying the state lacked enough public charging stations to keep all those electrics on the road, that the bill didn't take into account the valuable role played by gas-electric hybrid vehicles and that it was too hard to mandate rules on vehicle sales more than 20 years in the future.
Already, California is the nation's leader in the sale of electric cars. The association says more than 500,000 are on the road.
What's a 'frunk'? Electric cars like Rivian, Tesla, Jaguar offer unique storage spaces
Some experts agree the timing isn't yet right to talk about a gasoline-free future.
"California has always been a visionary when it comes to 'green' cars," said Ron Cogan, publisher of the Green Car Journal.
"It's not surprising there are elements in government who want to move us away from internal-combustion cars." But "given the high cost of electric cars and that a great majority of entry-level buyers can't afford them, it's too early about talk about taking gas-powered cars off the road," Cogan said.
Given the charging challenge and other issues, "so many things have to happen before that is financially or fundamentally possible," he added

The goal of the Operation is to get at least one stocking for every military veteran currently at the Tennessee Valley VA here in Murfreesboro. Volunteers are asked to take a stocking from Reveille Joe, fill it up with around $20 worth of materials, and return it to the store on or before December 20.
If you would like to get involved, contact Matthew at Reveille Joe. You can find them on Facebook or at their website: www.reveillejoe.com.
This holiday season, take at least one small step to show appreciation for those who secured your freedom. Joe and I are proud and thankful to support Matthew and Operation: Adopt a Hero. Join us!


AGAIN, I forgot to take a before picture, but here is a picture of something very similar to give you an idea of what I started with. It's a small wooden entertainment unit from Knots Pine that has been stained.
Now, it is an antiqued side table with storage and painted a two tone white and grey. I love this effect.
Firstly I sanded the whole piece, then removed the doors. I mixed up some chalk paint and tinted it grey. Then painted the doors. Some more chalk paint in white was added to the entire unit. This was left to dry over night. Then I gave the piece a light sand to remove the gritty bits that the chalk paint had left behind. A little bit of distressing, then reattached the doors. Finally I gave the whole unit a coat of furniture wax.
This lovely unit is now situated next to our lounge. I love it. Not only does it have lots of storage, its a great height and not too deep.

Report: Tests never done for explosive gases in homes near Fenimore landfill (video)
Updated: Mar. 29, 2019, 6:24 p.m. | Published: May. 22, 2014, 5:32 p.m.
By Louis C. Hochman | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
Love Canal activist Lois Gibbs: Take Fenimore fight to Christie Lois Gibbs, who in the late 1970s learned her neighborhood was built on a toxic dump, says residents upset with the state's handling of the Fenimore landfill need to take their fight straight to Gov. Chris Christie
ROXBURY — The state and the developer who owns the troubled Fenimore landfill never tested nearby homes for explosive gases, even after elevated levels were picked up on the property, a local activist group says.
That's one of dozens of criticisms — some new, some oft-repeated — the Roxbury Environmental Action Coalition is lobbing against state agencies and the township government in a new 49-page report on Fenimore.
The release of the report — supported by more than 1,400 pages of government reports, officials' emails obtained through public records requests and other documents — comes less than a week after two Democrat legislators asked the state Attorney General to investigate how the state handled the troubled Fenimore landfill site. The Attorney General's office declined any comment on that request to NJ.com.
The state Department of Environmental Protection is continuing its effort to mitigate odors from the Fenimore landfill site, which began emitting rotten egg-like odors in late 2012. The DEP has installed an oxidizer to burn off hydrogen sulfide gasses responsible for the smells, and cites readings showing the gas levels have dropped off considerably.
The legislators said the Fenimore project — intended originally to properly cap a long-abandoned landfill and install a solar farm — had been "grossly mismanaged" by the state Department of Environmental Protection.
The report cites correspondence among the state Department of Environmental protection, landfill owner Strategic Environmental and others about the 2012 discovery that elevated levels of methane had been picked up first at one spot far from homes, and then at others much closer.
In the correspondence, the DEP instructs SEP owner Richard Bernardi to conduct additional testing in several locations — including in private backyards, and in private crawlspace basements.
But members of the Roxbury coalition say no such testing of private properties was ever done. And they said homeowners were never notified of the methane levels.
"The DEP dropped the ball on that, and it was very sad," coalition president Bob Schultz said.
The testing had been a point of contention for SEP, which complained at one point to a judge that the DEP wanted it to take on major costs for testing at the same time the agency was already trying to shut down the project — as in late 2012, rotten gas-like smells from Fenimore had begun spreading throughout town.
SEP, under a state-approved plan, was accepting construction debris eventually linked to hydrogen sulfide releases, which caused the odors.
"In other words, the DEP is instructing SEP to spend enormous sums of money while at the same time actively trying to eliminate SEP's ability to generate income (through tipping fees for accepting the debris)," SEP attorney Matthew Fredericks wrote in a letter included in the coalition's report. "SEP can't undertake these costly remediation measures if doesn't have an income stream to fund them."
DEP spokesman Larry Ragonese, in an email Thursday, said he couldn't respond to specific NJ.com questions about the methane or other issues in the coalition's report. But he repeated a point he's often stressed before — that odors and gas emissions have dropped off significantly since the DEP installed an oxidizer and scrubber system at Fenimore last year (though the coalition report also shows records of continued odor complaints to the DEP).
Toxicologist says to truck it out
The coalition's report also points to other documents it says demonstrate the need for an investigation.
An October 2013 email from environmental scientist Paul J. Lioy to the Department of Health (and eventually shared with the DEP) says hydrogen sulfide levels are enough that they seem to be causing health issues among residents — many of whom have told NJ.com the gases caused respiratory problems, headaches and even nosebleeds.
By that point, the DEP had already taken over the Fenimore site and halted SEP's work, saying SEP failed to control the odors and mismanaged the project. The company blamed the DEP for not approving steps necessary to control odors, and says its soil cap was on the way to eliminating them. It also says the odors came from material provided by DEP-approved recycling centers.
In his message, Lioy — vice chair of the Department of Environmental and Occupational Medicine at Rutgers — says the state should remove the material SEP brought in from the Fenimore site. It's the same argument the coalition and several officials have been making for months.
The DEP has refused, saying removing the material would upset the site further, and release enough hydrogen sulfide to affect more than 30 communities. It recently distributed a map to neighboring communities, showing its modeling for gas exposures. It instead has started a project to install a geomembrane liner and cap the area of Fenimore where SEP began its work.
Asked Thursday by NJ.com to explain the basis or expertise for those models, Ragonese only repeated the assertion digging up the debris would "affect all residents of Roxbury and residents in more than 30 municipalities in three counties, disrupting lives and businesses, and potentially causing a public health crisis for the duration of the excavation." He did not explain the foundation for that conclusion.
"DEP will not allow the public to be exposed to these dangerous concentrations," Ragonese said in the email. "Excavation of the Fenimore landfill is not a viable option."
He said the DEP would not address Lioy's email directly, but said the agency had had discussions with him in the eight months since it was sent, and had determined "capping the site is, by far, the best long-term solution."
Cost of capping
The REACT analysis also includes a recent Roxbury Township report estimating the cap and related remediation work would cost the state about $4.5 million to maintain in the first year, and then less in subsequent years.
When the DEP visited Roxbury in March to present its capping plan, it described excavation of Fenimore material as a far more costly endeavor than the cap. But officials acknowledged at the meeting the cost estimates they presented didn't include long-term maintenance, saying only the state was committed to taking care of the site indefinitely.
"Those maintenance and operational costs went through 2044," Shultz said. "It could actually cost more to cap the landfill than to excavate it."

Ragonese didn't address whether the township's estimates were in line with the DEP's own for maintenance costs in his email Thursday. But he said the state "will ensure full maintenance of the site as long as required."
Coalition technical adviser and co-founder Bill Morocco said be believes the "DEP is smarter than we think."
"They absolutely have to know there are going to be costs associated with those types of activities," he said. "I think they're looking to kick the can down the road and say the next administration, five, 10 years from now, will have to deal with the bulk of those costs."
Love Canal activist: Take the fight to Christie
This week's release of the report was timed to coincide with a visit Wednesday to Roxbury by Lois Gibbs, who in the late 1970s learned the Love Canal neighborhood in Niagra Falls, where she lived, was built atop a toxic dump. Activist efforts Gibbs led eventually resulted in the evacuation of hundreds of homes and the cleanup of Love Canal.
Gibbs told NJ.com in some ways, the Love Canal situation was the product of "innocence, and a whole lot of ignorance" about the impact of various chemicals on human health.
"In this case, it's like, they do know all of that. They know what chemicals do to people," she said. "They know how to build a landfill. And what they did out there was clearly not that."
Gibbs said the Fenimore operation should have been made to follow strict environmental regulations that were put aside. She said residents should take their fight past the DEP, and straight to Gov. Chris Christie — who has often repeated the DEP's argument that excavation would only make matters worse.
"In this one, it was like, 'This is what we want to do, and to heck with the laws, to heck with the regulations, to heck with all the guidance that New Jersey has worked for 35, 40 years putting together for this very reason' — so it doesn't get out of hand and out of control and people are sick and now they have a bigger mess than they were going to," she said.

Gertrud Hurler
Jenny Stuart-Smith and Mike Cadogan
Home LITFL Eponym
Gertrud Hurler (1889 – 1965) was an Austrian-German pediatrician.
Gertrud Hurler trained as a paediatrician at Hauner Children's hospital during which time she published the account of the condition which now bears her name.
In 1919 she relocated to Neuhausen to work as a paediatrician in private practice, where she worked for the next 45 years.
In addition to her clinical activities she was associated with the local orphanage, served on many medical committees and was a pioneer in the establishment of a maternal postnatal service.
Eponymously remembered for her description of Hurler Syndrome (1919).
1889 – Born Gertrud Zach on September 1 in Taberwiese, Prussia
1913 – MD, University of Munich
1914 – Married Dr. Konrad Hurler, veterinary surgeon (one daughter and one son)
1915-1918 Pediatric training at Hauner Children's Hospital
1919 – Wrote up case of what later known as Hurler Syndrome in German: Über einen Typ multipler Abartungen, vorwiegend am Skelettsystem, published in the Zournal Kinderheilk
1919-1964 – Pediatrician in Neuhausen
Medical Eponyms
Hurler Syndrome (1919) [Mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I)]
Rare autosomal recessive inherited lysosomal disorder caused by the absence of alpha-L-iduronidase enzyme which is responsible for degradation of glycosaminoglycans (GAG or mucopolysaccharides). This results in the buildup of dermatan sulfate and heparin sulfate in multiple tissues, resulting in progressive deterioration and eventually death. Incidence is approximately 1 in 100,000 births.
Clinical features are varied. Most commonly characterised by dwarfism, hunchback, coarse (gargoyle-like) facies, mental retardation, skeletal dysplasia, clouding of the cornea, sensorineural deafness, hepato-splenomegaly, noisy respiration, cardiac abnormalities, and an enlarged tongue.
History of Hurler syndrome
1917 Charles A. Hunter (1873-1955) read a report at the Royal Society of Medicine, London, concerning two boys admitted to the Winnipeg General Hospital in 1915. The key features included dwarfism, coarse facies, hepatosplenomegaly, digital contractures, mental retardation and deafness. The boys had manifestations similar to those of Hurler's patients but with less severe manifestations and no clouding of the cornea.
1919 Gertrud Hurler described a syndrome of corneal clouding, dwarfing skeletal dysplasia, spinal malalignment and mental retardation (published 1920). Her report was based upon two infants previously presented to the Munich Paediatric Society (1919) by her chief, Prof Meinhard von Pfaundler (1872-1947), also published in 1920. Hurler did not mention this report and with medical communication disrupted by the war it is likely that she was unaware of Hunter's 1917 report.
1921 The disorder, previously called gargoylism, lipochondrodystrophy or osteochondrodystrophy, then became known as Hurler syndrome or less commonly Pfaundler-Hurler syndrome or Hunter-Hurler syndrome.
1954 The probability of X-linked recessive inheritance (for Hunter syndrome) was raised by Beebe and Formel who recorded a family with nine affected males.
1962 Harold Glendon Scheie (1909-1990) identified a syndrome characterised by progressive corneal clouding, coarsening of the facies and general dysplasia of the skeleton. This milder form of Hurler syndrome was subsequently termed Scheie syndrome.
1972 In the 1960's the syndromic identity was confirmed on a clinical, genetic and biochemical basis, and the eponymous terms were separated. Victor Almon McKusick (1921-2008) followed up the family fifty years after Hunter's original report. He published photographs of the children together with an account of their clinical course in his textbook of Heritable Disorders of Connective Tissue (1972 4e), and confirmed the children had Hunter syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis type II).
Hurler Syndrome is one of the 11 disorders of the mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS). The term Hurler syndrome is now reserved for MPS I, with Hunter syndrome designated for MPS II. MPS has been further divided into three separate syndromes: Hurler syndrome (MPS I-H), Hurler-Scheie syndrome (MPS I-H/S), and Scheie syndrome (MPS I-S), listed from most to least severe.

With new EP 'I Can Pay For It' out now, E Mute is an independent artist with a social conscience. With lyrics which take a sly, sideways look at the world as it is today, we thought he would be the perfect person to get to know in his own words. And we were right – check out this interview below.
My sister had a big vinyl collection and I discovered it. Until then, I was just listening to mainstream pop as kids do. The intro of rock and roll really shook my whole existence. I got more and more into my sister's album collection: The Rolling Stones, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, and Janis Joplin. These are some names that changed my life. Then I gradually dove into all sorts of music: punk, metal, grunge, jazz, fusion, classical, and even drum n' bass. But I never got heavily into rap, hip hop and dance music. Oh and let's not forget Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kasabian, Muse, Radiohead, Franz Ferdinand, I can keep going forever!
I just want to create good music and become better and better at it, and work with great people. Music is my whole world.
I played in many bands as a drummer, mainly cover bands. My first original material band was called Furdelux, a seven-piece retro Mod/funk outfit from London performing a mix of covers and our own songs. |In 2006, I met Scott James (ex-Stereophonics) and we put together a band that did not last more than a couple of years, it fell apart because of disagreements. After the band had finished I was writing more than I ever had before, and I also began to discover my voice – not just as a songwriter, but as a vocalist. Soon I found that my teaching and work as a session drummer were leaving me no time to work on my songwriting. In order to devote time to my new project, I decided to drop most of my paying work to focus on songwriting, and began recording demos as E-MUTE.
Meeting Scott James and playing in a band with him, opening for artist P.P. Arnold at the University of London and also at the Lerida Music Festival in Spain. In 2005, Meeting Bias Boshell, the Moody Blues' keyboard player coincidentally, while rehearsing at the same studios in London. That connection resulted working together on a one song recording project for an ex-James Bond girl with producer Pip Williams, who had produced Uriah Heep and Dido, among others. I also performed and toured in Greece with many famous artists there.
Let me answer this with a quote by the incredible Frank Zappa. ''The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way, and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theatre.'' Look at what is happening in Europe right now. Indebted nations that cannot devalue their currency, EU policy is dictated by big corporations and EU citizens are slowly but surely losing their political and social rights, and what do we do? Shopping. Not to mention the inadequate response of European governments to the refugee crisis.
Tall Dark Friend, is the project of Jordan Gray. Dark power-pop made by just vocals and piano. I Met Jordan during a battle of the bands event where the winners got to perform at the Soundstock festival at Chelmsford Essex. Both of us ended up performing at the festival. Jordan is an incredible performer with great showmanship and songs, piano skills and vocal range, a great sense of humour. She reminds me of David Bowie. Check her out!
No gigs booked at the moment, as in November I will be moving to Salzburg Austria. E-Mute's base will be in Austria soon!
And of course everywhere else!


it is a question about diabetes,having to do with testing?!
Question: It is a question about diabetes,having to do with testing?
okay so i have been recently diagnosed with diabetes i am 32 weeks pregnant,but i think that i have had diabetes for a while the reason being is because i looked up symptoms of diabetes that can occur over a period of time like i have eye floaters in my right eye i have weakness on the right side of my body which can be caused by nerve damage that diabetes often create in the body and i have ocular migraines which can be caused by eye floaters?but my question is can i ask for further diabetic testing to see if i had a pre- existing case of diabetes before this pregnancy?
I don't think those symptoms are diabetes-related.
Evidence of eye damage can be detected by means of a retinal screening which will show if there is any damage to the blood vessels.
You can ask for further blood tests but they would only show the state of your glucose metabolism now, not in the past.
In any case it doesn't actually matter if you had pre-existing diabetes anyway. If you did have it and there is any damage, the damage has been done. If you didn't have it, the fact that you have gestational means that you have a higher risk of getting it in the future.


If you've never tried squash in a salad before, you're in for a treat! Winter squash are in season right now so I've been adding them into everything I can think of. Having roasted squash in a salad might sound a little strange, but the maple ginger glaze gives the squash a wonderful flavor that's perfectly suited for a salad topping.
Something about the leaves being bright golden-yellow right now makes me want to try all of the beautiful squash varieties that keep popping up at our grocery store even more.
Behold, the kuri squash. It's a lot like a pumpkin but without the ridges and shaped more like a little tear drop. Like some pumpkin varieties, you can actually eat the skin, which makes preparing this squash a whole lot easier.
I've never particularly enjoyed the dangerous task of slicing into a whole rock hard squash, so I like to give it a good wash then roast it whole for 20 minutes at 400 degrees fahrenheit before even attempting to get a knife in there. This softens the squash enough that it makes it super easy and much more safe to slice.
Once you have your squash sliced in half, scoop out the seeds then cut into little half moons.
In a large bowl, make the maple ginger glaze by grating about a tablespoon and half of fresh ginger and mixing it with a bit of maple syrup and some herbs. We won't be using the whole squash for this recipe, so pick out 6-7 pieces to use in the salad and put the rest away for another recipe.
Dip the squash one piece at a time into the maple ginger glaze until well coated, then place on a silpat or parchment paper lined baking tray.
Roast your sliced and marinated squash slices at 400 degrees until they start to turn golden brown around the edges and fully soften, about 20-25 minutes.
These squash slices are tasty enough to eat on their own, but I love having them in a salad with a creamy dressing.
In every salad I make I always try to include plenty of whole food starches. Salads with only watery low-carb vegetables are not satisfying at all and you'll be hungry again an hour later. The key to a good salad is always having at least one starchy vegetable, such as squash or potatoes, and always include a bean or legume of some type, such as chickpeas. Whole grains are also a great option to add in if you have time to cook them or have some leftovers, but for this salad I found that the squash and the chickpeas added just the right amount of starchy filling ingredients, so I left the grains out of this one.
I made a very simple dressing from raw cashew butter, lemon juice, and more maple syrup. I ripped up the roasted ginger glazed squash into bite size pieces and tossed it with some fresh romaine lettuce, purple cabbage, carrots, green onions, and chickpeas. The result was this super creamy and delicious lunch bowl.
I hope you find a beautiful kuri squash and try out this autumn recipe! Other squashes like pumpkin or kabocha may also work, but I haven't tested them out yet and cooking times may vary. Full recipe below!

Batth 'the epitome of Wolves Academy'
From joining the Academy at just 10-years-old to lifting the Championship trophy as first-team captain, Danny Batth has been through it all at Wolves.
Making more than 200 senior appearances in gold and black, Batth's 18-year affiliation with Wolves came to an end today as he joined Stoke City in a permanent move.
The Brierley Hill-born defender has been synonymous with Wolves since progressing through the youth system he arrived into at the start of the Millennium.
"Danny was always very keen, a great example and a great leader. He always had the best attitude of any player coming through," said the head of education and welfare at the Academy, Nick Loftus.
"Everything he has achieved and the successes he's had both in and out of football has come through his attitude, determination, hard work and effort."
When you walk into the Academy building at Compton, one of the first faces you see on the wall is that of Batth. A placard features images displaying his 18-year journey through his youth career and into the first-team – showcasing to the players coming through the system as to what is possible to achieve if they work hard at Wolves.
Loftus added: "Danny's consistency and reliability were massive assets to all the Academy teams that he played through. You always need a player like Danny Batth in your team just keep things consistent, reliable and dependable – all those words sum him up to the tee.
"Danny is not one of those people who we've had to work hard on to change an attitude, it's always been there, and we've just had to support and encourage him.
"He's been our shining example and is the epitome of our Academy."
Academy manager Gareth Prosser describes Batth as a role model. Not only for the players, but also the club staff.
"On the field, the commitment and the leadership he's shown, to off the field, how he acted in and around the club, Danny has been excellent. But it was always about success on the field and success off the field."
And off the field Batth has certainly shone. After completing a BTEC under the guidance of Loftus in his younger years at the Academy, Batth decided to take the plunge into further education – completing a BSc honours degree in sports science alongside his full-time job as a professional footballer.
His former tutor said: "For myself as education officer, I will always be proud of the way Danny committed himself, not just on the pitch, but also off it.
"In college he was also a great example, and although I supported him throughout his degree, coming to me in times when he needed support and guidance, I take no credit for what he achieved. It was all down to Danny being proactive and putting in a lot of hard work in what was a bit of a slog.
"A usual degree takes three years, but his took six because he did it in his own time while playing football. It's no mean feat and he did really well and will stand him in good stead going forward.
"I remember saying to him when he got his degree that he wasn't just a professional footballer, he was a professional person – and I think that sums up Danny Batth superbly. He's a fantastic example to footballers.
"He has always been someone who would keep himself busy off the pitch. He's not one of those players who's just a footballer and goes home and plays on FIFA; he's always been constructive about his professional development.
"Including his education, he has positive interests away from football, and continues to be a fantastic example to our 14 or 15-year-olds who think they can't do education because they're going to be a footballer.
"Danny proved you can."
With a supportive family behind his every move, Batth was born with the attitude and commitment to make it at the top level.
The first taste of senior football arrived for Wolves' young professional of 2009 during the pre-season of the 2010/11 campaign. Batth started in a 4-0 friendly win at Walsall, before following it up with his competitive debut in a League Cup Second Round tie with Southend in August 2010.
As Wolves dropped into the third tier of English football in 2013, it was Batth who stepped up and made his mark as both a defender and leader of the team – being named by manager Kenny Jackett as vice-captain.
An ever-present in the Wolves team which secured a record-breaking promotion, Batth was named in the PFA League One Team of the Year and comfortably stepped up into the Championship the following season, wearing the armband on a regular basis.
Six seasons, 212 appearances and 16 goals – most of which came from his head – followed for the centre-back, who is now settling in new pastures in Staffordshire.
"We're really grateful for his input and time while he's been with us, especially the nine years he spent progressing through the Academy, and we wish him all the very best with his new venture," Prosser said.
While Loftus believes Batth will have continue to have a successful career in whatever does, adding: "He made a massive commitment to Wolves and we're pleased to have played a part in the making of Danny Batth, but he has used our support very wisely – he drove us as much as we drove him."

This bold outgoing bay colt has his sire's strong topline and agility. He already shows elastic, elevated gaits. His sire is an imported Lusitano stallion and his dam is an accomplished Thoroughbred race horse. He was born April 2, 2007 and should mature 16.3 hands.
This filly is a lovely mover with three nice gaits and a fantastic temperament. She has been shown in halter and has been winning her classes on the line as a yearling. She could do very well in nearly any discipline and would make a fantastic brood mare for any Sport Horse breeding program. She is a special individual with a great personality and one not to overlook!


Apple's VP of International, John Brandon, brought biblical principles into the sales culture a multi-billion-dollar company. In this video he explains one of his rules of success which secretly comes from the Bible: transparency.
I actually had something that's affectionately known as "JB's 10 rules of success." If you saw the rules, you'd see they're all based on biblical principles. From my earliest days as a sales leader, that's what I always teach and train my team in. So much so, that many of my worldwide organizations would keep them on their belt with their badge.
What it did is it gave them principles to think about how we wanted them to act when it wasn't so clear what they should do. We just raised the bar about how we wanted them to treat people, how we wanted them to treat customers, how we wanted them to think about the business. For the most part, it really worked.
Here's a perfect one: We want to know the bad news sooner than later. What many times happens in a sales environment is something starts to go wrong: You start to lose a customer; the customer is unhappy; there's a problem with the product. And many times the sales person is encouraged to misrepresent that, or to hide it and try to fix it themselves.
That's normally when you get into real problems. But if you create an environment that they can tell you bad news from day 1, and you don't shoot the messenger, and you actually want to come alongside and help, it changes the whole tenner. Especially as a senior manager, what you hear is what's actually happening. It creates a whole new level of trust, integrity, transparency.
People need to know it's okay to tell the truth and it's okay to tell it soon, not when things are on fire.
