Is .357 Magnum a safe bet for deer season?
By Jason Wimbiscus

Since its invention in the 1930s, the .357 Magnum has been used successfully to game from varmints all the way up to elk and moose. While the .357 Magnum has long since surrendered the title of "world's most powerful handgun round" to the likes of the .44 Remington Magnum, the .454 Casull, and the .500 S&W Magnum, among others, it is still a potent and versatile cartridge. And, as you'll see, this statement holds especially true when the round is chambered in a short, light, fast handling carbine such as the Marlin 1894C.
In terms of ballistics ,the .357 becomes a whole new animal when chambered in a long gun. By loading well constructed bullets over potent charges of such relatively slow burning powders as Hodgdon Lil'Gun, Hodgdon H-110, and Allaint Blue Dot, the careful handloader can craft rounds that are more than adequate for deer sized game inside 100 yards.
In general, the muzzle velocity of a .357 magnum bullet will be 250 to 300 f/s greater than the same round fired from a handgun with a 4 inch or 6 inch barrel. This velocity increase makes bullet selection important. A

Training that works where you do!
We'll be covering: Check out our feature article JLG Industries Celebrates 50 Years in Access Industry, IVES website temporary service interruption, ASSE name change, a question on IVES theory test answer keys, what MEWP should you choose?, excavator incident and fines, interesting articles, and much more!
In this edition, we'll be covering the following topics:
But first, check out all the places we are delivering training this month...
JLG Industries Inc. kicked off its year-long 50th anniversary celebration on Jan. 9, 2019, marking a half-century since its founder spearheaded the access industry with the introduction of the world's first boom lift, commonly referred to as JLG 1.
On Jan. 9, 1969, John L. Grove rallied a small group of people around one big idea—create a safer way to work at height. This idea came to life with the introduction of the first aerial work platform. Grove's passion for safety and his pioneering spirit continue to be carried out today by more than 6,000 JLG employees around the world.
"50 years is a remarkable milestone for both JLG and the access industry," said Frank Nerenhausen, JLG president. "Our founder not only started a company, but an entire industry. This is a key point of differentiation for the JLG brand. We continue to build on this legacy through continuous development of products, services, and technology that advance safety for work at height."
Since its introduction of the first commercially produced aerial work platform, JLG has claimed many access industry firsts—including oscillating axles for boom and scissor lifts in 1981, the only fuel-cell powered boom lift in 1999, the first environmentally friendly 60-ft. electric boom lift in 2000, and the first straight boom lift to reach 150 ft. in 2011. The company surpassed its own record in 2014 with the introduction of a 185-ft. model 1850SJ, the world's tallest self-propelled boom lift. In the same year, JLG introduced the first true hybrid diesel/electric boom lift, the H340AJ.
"For more than 2,000 years, people used inefficient and dangerous methods to access work areas," said Guru Bandekar, JLG vice president of global product management and development. "So when you think that a mere half-century ago no one had invented a way to safely elevate people on jobsites, one realizes how remarkable John L. Grove's advancement was. His accomplishment gives all JLG employees a tremendous sense of pride."
Grove was a skilled inventor, a savvy businessman, and an extremely hard-working individual, who was driven by the pursuit of perfection in the products that bear his initials. A former employee once said, "You could show John L. Grove anything, even a fountain pen, and he could immediately tell you how to improve it," according to an excerpt from the book "The Life and Legacy of John L. Grove."
"Grove's inventive spirit continues to fuel product development at JLG," Nerenhausen said. "He blazed a trail that was never before traveled, and we mark 50 years with a steadfast focus on providing the industry with access equipment solutions that continue to bring his initial vision and purpose to life."
It should not be overlooked that Grove formed JLG Industries with an inner circle of only three investing partners, and within a few short years, developed a unique product that filled a huge void in the construction industry. He quickly won customer confidence and brand preference—a preference that saw the company quickly expand domestically and later internationally. Today, JLG is represented across five continents, with manufacturing facilities in the United States, France, the United Kingdom, Romania, Australia, and China.
While the boom lift marked the start of JLG, the company's product portfolio has steadily expanded over the years to include a variety of award-winning hydraulic and electric drive scissor lifts, telescopic handlers, vertical lifts, and a wide-range of low-level access solutions. Far more than just products, JLG today leads the industry in its after-the-sale parts, service, and training offerings to ensure productivity, profitability, and continued safety improvements on the jobsite.

On Friday, January 18 at 2:00 PM Pacific Time, we'll be making upgrades to our network infrastructure that may result in a temporary service interruption.
We suggest placing online orders before 1:00 PM on January 18 to minimize any delays in processing.
The American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) will become the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) after a 'historic' vote.
More than a century after its founding, members of the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) have approved a change to the organization's name.
Over a 45-day period, 74 percent of the society's members voted to switch ASSE's name to the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP).
"Our members have clearly voiced that the American Society of Safety Professionals better reflects our diverse membership," said ASSE President Jim Smith, M.S., CSP in a statement. "Engineers made up our entire membership when we were formed, but today the occupational safety and health profession encompasses many disciplines."
The board of directors unanimously recommended the updates in January, and it later was supported by its house of delegates in June at Safety 2017 in Denver.
ASSE originally was founded as the United Association of Casualty Inspectors in 1911 after a factory fire that killed 146 garment workers in lower Manhattan, New York. Three years later, the organization made the name change to the American Society of Safety Engineers.
In a study, members, customers and stakeholders indicated the need for a branding overall to better reflect the organization's current membership and position it for growth. Research also found that a new name would help eliminate confusion about who could join the society.
"Our members have always decided who we are and what we're all about," Smith said. "This latest vote was part of an objective process that has made us a strong organization for more than 100 years."
The organization will continue to be called the American Society of Safety Engineers until early June when it debuts a new website and makes the conversion to its new name in alignment with the Safety 2018 Professional Development Conference and Exposition.
"Workplace safety is constantly evolving, so our society must adjust as well to remain strong and relevant while growing our profession," Smith said. "Our profession includes more occupations and industries than ever before. Our members are knowledgeable about everything from risk assessment and hazard control to workers' compensation and organizational management, not to mention the more traditional aspects of safety management and engineering."

Q. Trying to get an answer to question number 7 on the forklift theory test. Was it A or D? Or can I get the answer key for this test? Thanks.
A. You have some options for the location of answer keys. You have one answer key in your trainers manual or you can download the answer keys. Log in to www.ivestraining.com and they are listed on your Member Dashboard under the Downloadable Materials & Updates tab. You will see all the answer keys listed there.
If you have not setup your Trainers login, call the office (1-800-643-1144) and they can quickly assist you with setting up your login.
I am unable to give you the simple "correct answer" you requested because you did not specify what forklift test: Recert or Initial Theory Training and then for Counterbalance, Narrow Aisle or Powered Pallet Truck? So you will need to look it up :)
Choosing the right mobile elevated work platform, or MEWP, for your jobsite needs might seem simple enough — but, have you thought it all through? Understanding how far to reach up, out, over or down and around are only part of the answers you really need to select a MEWP to complete your work. Don't make the mistake of just choosing an aerial lift you think might work. If you ask yourself the right questions about the jobsite, you'll be prepared to choose the best MEWP to match your application.
Ask yourself these questions to begin the process of finding the right aerial lift to fit your jobsite need:
How is the jobsite accessible?
There is an ideal aerial lift for every job, but you need to consider the lift's accessibility to the working area. Because of the way a jobsite's accessibility and condition can change as work progresses, versatile machines can be a significant advantage in getting work done efficiently and cost effectively. Some jobsites have obstacles, either on the ground or in the air that may require the use of certain machines. For example, scissor lifts can be cost effective workhorses for jobs with narrow paths or the need to lift high capacity loads from the ground to straight vertical heights, but there are many jobs where these machines just cannot get to or reach.
Articulated or telescopic booms may be required if you do not have vertical only access, but rather need to reach over, under or around obstacles. Articulated booms offer versatile platforms that can weave their way into hard to reach areas, while telescopic booms are notably strong in further reaching and higher capacity applications. The addition of a telescoping or rotating jib can also help provide the last few feet of reach needed for a more challenging job.
Are there any restrictions on the jobsite?
Knowing any specific restrictions on a jobsite, such as noise, emission, terrain or hostile environments, can help you determine what features or options, like hybrid power, 4×4 drive with active oscillating axles and hostile environment packages, might be required for any equipment used on the jobsite.
What are the jobsite's working conditions like?
Identifying the working conditions will help you narrow down the features needed to get the job done efficiently. For example, the jobsite may be indoors or outdoors, on rough terrain or smooth pavement, and these factors will help you determine what aerial lift matches your needs. Smaller compact lifts are great options to choose when completing work indoors. They offer maneuverability, compact size and can be manually or self-propelled. Also, remember to check if your indoor jobsite has power available. Indoor jobsites without power may need a gas/LPG engine or hybrid power source lift. These early stage jobsites often have limited indoor lighting, so a platform lights package will help get the job done and keep workers safe.
If your jobsite is outdoors, check out the terrain before choosing an aerial lift. Early stage construction sites, unpaved terrain, or even poor weather conditions may require you to choose a machine fully rough terrain capable. Rough terrain lifts enhance productivity by providing traction, speed and gradeability.
And, there are times when a jobsite requires significant outdoor work on unimproved surfaces at the beginning, and then work on a flat level slab in an enclosed area for later stages; typically multiple machines would be used. But, the new Genie® Z®-60/37 FE articulated boom is engineered to enable operators to use one machine for both indoor and outdoor applications. This fuel-electric model, a true hybrid, combines the benefits of advanced diesel power and four-wheel drive performance with the cleaner, quieter efficiency of compact, and low-weight, electric-powered booms.
Making the right match
From telescopic and articulated boom lifts to scissor and vertical lifts, Genie manufactures a wide size range of MEWPs to keep operators productive on any jobsite. By asking the right questions, you can find the aerial lift that best matches your jobsite needs. No matter where the jobsite is, Genie has the right MEWP for the job.

A California construction company that dismantled a trench box while an employee was still working inside, causing him to be fatally crushed, has been cited by Cal/OSHA for safety violations. The agency determined that general contractor Bay Construction Co. committed willful-serious safety violations by unsafely removing a linear support rail that fell and killed the worker.
How it happened
Bay Construction Co. of Oakland assembled a trench box on April 23 to install underground pump station equipment at the Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline in Oakland. Four days later, the crew was finishing up the underground work when a worker was compacting dirt inside the trench box and another was using an excavator with a four-hook bridle sling to remove the shoring system's 5,000-pound linear rails. The hooks used for the sling were not adequate for this operation and one failed, dropping a rail and fatally crushing the worker inside the trench.
"Shield systems are designed to protect employees from cave-ins when working in an excavation," said Cal/OSHA Chief Juliann Sum. "Employers must ensure that no one is inside of the excavation when the protective system is being installed or removed."
Nine citations, $141k+ in penalties
Cal/OSHA issued nine citations to Bay Construction Co. with $141,075 in proposed penalties, including five classified as general, two serious, one serious accident-related and one willful-serious accident-related. The willful-serious accident-related citation was issued for failing to ensure that no employees were in the trench shield while it was being dismantled. The serious accident-related citation was issued for the employer's failure to use adequate hooks to remove the heavy linear rails. The citations for serious violations were issued for failing to conduct daily inspections of the excavation site to identify any potential hazards and failure to implement multiple sections of the employer's Injury and Illness Prevention Program, which includes training and instruction to employees working in excavations.

First Vaccine Managed To Protect Against Gonorrhea
Scientists from New Zealand have shown the result of their study and published it in the Lancet journal, where they described the way a vaccine for the first time managed to protect against gonorrhea infection.
The research was lead to find a vaccine for meningitis B, so the scientists developed the needed vaccine in the year 2004. Approximately one million adolescent people took part in the research and were vaccinated. After the two year research data analysis, scientists have found that more than 30% of gonorrhea cases had fallen. More than 14 000 young people have their gonorrhea infection cut by three times. Scientists consider the bacterium that causes meningitis is very close to those bacterium, causing gonorrhea.
"This is the first time a vaccine has shown any protection against gonorrhoea. At the moment, the mechanism behind this immune response is unknown, but our findings could inform future vaccine development." - Dr Helen Petousis-Harris, one of the researchers from New Zealand.
"There are high hopes that now there's going to be some cross-protection. We are still a long way before we develop a vaccine for gonorrhoea, but we have now some evidence that it is possible." - said Dr Teodora Wi, from the WHO
The WHO estimated the vaccine development as vital maybe because many antibiotics failed gonorrhea treatment. Researchers also mind that the body doesn't build up resistance to the disease no matter how many times it was infected.

I had the good fortune to share over 40 years of my life with Timothy Findley. The last time I saw him was on June 20, 2002—the day before he died in Toulon, France. The last time I saw him truly happy was in the fall of 2001. That was in Calgary, a city which over the years, has woven so many of its magical threads into the fabric of our lives.
My long-time companion's birth certificate identified him as Irving Findley. His parents had no yet decided how to achieve the initials that would honour his uncle, Thomas Irving Findley—a World War I here familiarly known as "Tif." The new baby was ultimately christened Timothy Irving Frederick Findley, which meant that for the rest of his life he would generally be known as "Tiff."
Tiff was born in Toronto in the autumn of 1930. My own birth followed a few months later in Hamilton, Ontario—but a parental move to the West meant that I grew up in Regina, where I first became aware of my Calgary connections.
When we met in 1961, Tiff fascinated by my Calgary stories—partly because of his grandfather's experiences, Thomas Findley had been president of the company that produced Massey Harris farm machinery. He and his wife used to make regular visits to the west in the company's private railway car. Although he died before Tiff was born, his tales of Alberta's legendary hospitality outlived him, continuing to highlight the Findley's dinner conversations all through Tiff's boyhood—along with recounting of the World War I exploits of uncle Tif. Both sets of stories contributed to the background colour of one of the best-known Findley novels, The Wars.
My own Alberta threads also began with a grandfather. Mine was one of eight children born as out national railway was stretching westward, He started life in Quebec, grew up in Winnipeg and lived most of his years in Regina, while his brothers and sisters all ended up in Alberta. I remember great uncle Bert and his wife Jean in Calgary. Because of her frequent flights to Regina—paired with my interest in insects—I called her my "flying aunt." Their daughter ultimately became one of Calgary's Stampede Queens, giving the press a field day when marriage transformed her from Merle Robinson to Merle Steir. I remember great uncle Walter and his wife Minnie, whose sister married one of the prominent citizens of Stratford, Ontario—a town that became our final home. Their daughter Jean was the centre of the first scandal to hit our extended family. She ran away from home to become an adagio dancer. The second scandal centred on me. After acquiring two degrees in biology I declined a scholarship that was to give me a PhD from Yale and left Saskatchewan to seek work in the theatres of Ontario. But that's another story, which—as you will see—tells how I met Timothy Findley.
I particularly remember great uncle George. In his early days as a Calgary lawyer, he shared offices with a future Prime Minister, R.B. Bennett. George's participation in World War I left him emasculated by shrapnel. I like to think it was his western practicality that led him to marry Eleanor, an elegantly mannish woman with short silver hair, several pin-striped suits and a live-in companion, Edwina—my unofficial great aunt Ted.
George loved to demonstrate that Calgary was "racier" than Regina. His standard greeting to my Victorian grandmother was a bellowed "Well, Ella—how the hell's your liver!"
In the fullness of time, R.B. Bennett died and left a bit of money to his old law buddy. When George died, the money went to Eleanor, and on her death it passed to her companion, Ted, who—with no family of her—decided to divide the legacy among four of Eleanor's nieces, one of whom was my mother. Since Tiff and I had just bought an abandoned farm northeast of Toronto, Mom decided we should have the legacy in order to begin much-needed repairs on the farmhouse. The amount was enough to provide a new roof. Or a drilled well to replace the hand-dug source of our meagre supply of drinking water. It was also enough for a swimming pool, complete with solar heating.
Thus the R.B Bennett Memorial Pool came into being. At first, it was just a family joke. Then, a somewhat erudite visitor, seeing the solar heating, remarked: "That's a bit macabre, isn't it?" In the face of our puzzlement, he explained that R.B. Bennett had died an overheated bath.
When Margaret Laurence caught sight of the words: "The R.B. Bennett Memorial Pool," she immediately demanded to be taken home.
Finally, a neighbour—amused by the whole situation—had a wooden sign professionally prepared and planted it beside the pool one afternoon when we were off picking up another friend for a weekend visit.
Our visitor was the writer Margaret Laurence—a western with a lifelong belief that R.B. was largely responsible for the ravages of the Great Depression. When she caught sight of the freshly painted words: "The R.B. Bennett Memorial Pool," she immediately demanded to be taken home. Temporary removed of the sign—plus a dramatic rendering of the story that explained it—persuaded her to stay, and we had a very pleasant time.
Tiff's first personal experience of Calgary was in 1965 when, finally able to afford a car, we embarked on a camping trip to the West. It was glorious to see him fall in love, first with the prairies, then with Alberta beef and finally with Calgary itself. That third affair began when we found we set up camp near the zoo, right in the of the city. And as we got to know Calgary for ourselves, we gained better sense of the originality and energy that had given rise all the stories we had been told when we were young.
Out first professional visit to the city was in 1972. We travelled west by train as part of the research for writing The National Dream, a television adaptation of Pierre Berton's books about the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The tour went without a hitch until we were ready to catch the train heading back east. When we went to the station in Vancouver, we were told that the tracks were washed out near Kamloops, and we would have to fly to Calgary. The only problem with that was that Timothy Findley, for over 20 years, had refused to fly. And so we rented a car and drove to Calgary—at one point splashing through the floodwaters of the Thompson River that had begun to form a shallow spillway across the Trans-Canada Highway. By the time we had crossed Rogers Pass we could afford to slow down and enjoy the scenery. We stopped at the next motel, had a good sleep and then dawdled our way through the Rockies and into Calgary. There, one of our tasks was to insect Heritage Park, a possible filming location for some of the scenes in The National Dream. We were delighted to discover that the old Midnapore Station had been transplanted into the Village. Remember cousin Merle, the Stampede Queen? She had spent most of her life on her ranch near Midnapore, breeding prize-winning palominos.
There was a certain sense of déjà vu in our next Calgary visit. That was in 1974 during another research trip for another Pierre Berton television series—this time based on his history of the Klondike gold rush. After an adventurous foray into the Yukon, we ended up in Vancouver, ready once again to board the train hat would take us back east. And once again, we were told that the tracks were washed out and we would have to fly to Calgary!
By then, we had come to believe that a journey to Calgary would always involve some kind of adventure, and some kind of wonderful surprise. That belief has never faded.
Take 1977, for instance, when we arrived in our own car part of a tour promoting Tiff's novel The Wars. A reading was arranged to take place in downtown branch of Calgary's library system—a splendid example of the several libraries donated to Canadian communities by the American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie.
The November night was cold. The audience—including me and a few members of the library staff—numbered only 10. After the reading, Tiff asked if anyone had any questions. One hand was rather shakily raised. It belonged to an elderly gentleman in an ancient overcoat that he seemed reluctant to remove. His question, expressed in somewhat slurred tones: "Where'd ya get that scarf" Tiff explained that the green weaving around his neck had been the gift of a specialist in Irish literature, and was in fact a replica of the traditional sash worn by Irish storytellers. When the same gent asked the next question: "So—how much green do you make?" we realized was there simply to keep warm—and that he had arrived already fortified with a liberal dose of "firewater." Other questions, however, led to a lively discussion of the book, and after dinning on the greatness of Alberta prime rib, we went back to the hotel in a very cheerful mood.
A few years later, we returned to the same library in order to promote the novel called Not Wanted on the Voyage. Calgary had not lost its ability to provide startling entertainments. This is how Tiff described the evening in his first memoir, Inside Memory:
"Our host had cautioned us there might not be many people in the audience. This time, I was prepared for the worst: maybe two—maybe three—but, pray God, all of the sober. In we went, through the empty building to a room set aside for lectures. There was not a soul—not one. I looked around in dismay. 'Oh—this isn't where you read,' said the host. 'You read upstairs. This is only where you leave your coats and some your last cigarettes.' So Bill and I took off our duffles and smoked out last cigarettes and then the host said 'Ready?' The mood, by now, was depressed and tense. If there was anybody up in the reading room, perhaps it would be firing squad. "We approached the door that would open onto the stair. I gritted my teeth, grasped the handle of the door and pulled it towards me.
"Instantly—every burglar alarm and fire alarm in the city of Calgary started to scream: 'HE'S COME HERE TO STEAL OUR BOOKS! HE'S COME HERE TO SET OUR CITY ON FIRE!' Naturally, I had to be prodded up the stairs. And—wouldn't you know it? The one and only tie when a performer might have been happy to play an empty house—the place was packed—standing room only. A hundred and fifty people."
By then, we had come to view that library as a symbol of Calgary itself—a source of endless wonders. I reminded Tiff of the two women who had created the circumstances in which we had first met. In the mid-fifties, Jean Roberts and Marigold Charlesworth had left the British theatre to come to Canada, and had chosen to settle in Calgary in the hopes that Alberta's newly produced petroleum dollars might be used to subsidize a rebirth of Canadian theatre. Sadly, they were a few years too early for that, so they shifted to Toronto and did indeed start a theatre of their own. I joined them, first as an actor and later as their co-producer, and in 1961 we hired a young actor named Timothy Findley. And this began y more than 40 years with Tiff.
As for Jean and Marigold—during their Calgary years, they had found work within the city's library system, and one of them had indeed worked at out magical Castell Library. That was when they forged some lasting friendships with Calgarians—including the artist John Snow. His name leads to our most significant visit to the city—in 2001. Tiff had been invited to be writer-in-residence at the University of Calgary, under the Markin-Flanagan Distinguished Writers Programme, which each year offers a 10-month residency to an emerging Canadian writer, as well as having visits from distinguished writers of international stature.
Tiff's visit began just a few days after September 11, 2001—when the whole world was still in state of shock. Immediately, we realized we could not have been in a better place at the moment. Calgarian hospitality worked wonders in restoring out equilibrium and energies. We were provided with a spiffy red car and beautiful little house in lower Mount Royal. We were both tremendously impressed that some of the improvements had been undertaken after consultation with us- including the creation of a second bathroom. As we joined in the process of equipping the kitchen with appropriate utensils, we were absolutely delighted to discover that the former owner was an artist who works we had been seeing for years in the home of our friends and colleagues Jean and Marigold. It was their old chum John Snow.
The Calgary connections seemed endless. Just like the comforting memories I have of that time, given that death was so claim Tiff just a few months later. I can still see him at his desk in what had been John Snow's backyard studio—working on the play Shadow he had begun a month earlier I the Leighton Studios at the Banff Centre. I see him at the Kitchen table with his glass of wine and his crossword puzzle—occasionally reading out the clues as I prepared dinner. I remember taking one of our small, wheeled suitcases to the nearby wine store, and trundling home with a week's supply. I can still taste the wonders of Calgary's restaurants—from the elegance of Teatro of the funkiness of Fourth Street Rose.
If the house was one centre of our happiness, another was the University of Calgary. The month-long writer-in-residency there was one of the most pleasant and productive we have ever spent. There were informal talks, reading and interviews both on and off campus—but there was still plenty of time to devote to the writing of the play. We were recipients of the most generous and thoughtful care as well as the stimulation of enthusiastic and informed attention at every event. And with it all, we could enjoy the wonders of Calgary's theatres and art galleries.
It is easy to see why Tiff was so happy there. And in a way, it is just as easy to understand why a life so filled with creativity, travel and care for fellow artists- as well as for fellow creatures on the planet—was beginning to wind down.
One of our final Calgary events was a public interview conducted by the CBC's Eleanor Wachtel. As the interview was drawing to a close, Eleanor said: "Well, Tiff, you're about to be 71. What's next? His answer? "Death." Then he laughed, said "But…" and began to sing "the sun will come up tomorrow…!" And the interview ended in laughter and applause.
Well, of course, the sun is indeed still coming up, every day, still with the same brilliance and warmth as memories of Tiff—and of how happy we always were in Calgary.

no farting!...(2)
A ladies letter to her friend-
"One day I met a sweet gentleman and fell in love. When it became
apparent that we would marry, I made the supreme sacrifice and gave up
eating beans.
Some months later, on my birthday, my car broke down on the way home
from work. Since I lived in the countryside I called my husband and told
him that I would be late because I had to walk home. On my way, I passed
by a small diner and the odour of baked beans was more than I could
stand. With miles to walk, I figured that I would walk off any ill
effects by the time I reached home, so I stopped at the dinner and
before I knew it, I had consumed three large orders of baked beans.
All the way home, I made sure that I released all the gas. Upon my
arrival, my husband seemed excited to see me and exclaimed delightedly:
"Darling I have a surprise for dinner tonight." He then blindfolded me
and led me to my chair at the dinner table. I took a seat and just as he
was about to remove my blindfold, the telephone rang. He made me promise
not to touch the blindfold until he returned and went to answer the
call. The baked beans I had consumed were still affecting me and the
pressure was becoming most unbearable, so while my husband was out of
the room I seized the opportunity, shifted my weight to one leg and let
one go. It was not only loud, but it smelled like a fertilizer truck
running over a skunk in front of a pulpwood mill.
I took my napkin from my lap and fanned the air around me vigorously.
Then, shifting to the other cheek, I ripped off three more. The stink
was worse than stinking cabbage. Keeping my ears carefully tuned to the
conversation in the other room, I went on like this for another few
The pleasure was indescribable. When eventually the telephone farewells
signaled the end of my freedom, I quickly fanned the air a few more
times with my napkin, placed it on my lap and folded my hands back on it
feeling very relieved and pleased with myself. My face must have been
the picture of innocence when my husband returned,apologizing for
taking so long.
He asked me if I had peeked through the blindfold, and I assured him I
had not. At this point, he removed the blindfold, and twelve dinner
guests seated around the table chorused: "Happy Birthday!"!! I nearly

Hiroya Oji
Born on 1987, living in Shiga Prefecture, Japan.
Has been participating in "Atelier Yamanami" since 2009.
With the sole desire to get attention of others, Hiroya produces himself always conscious of people around him, singing hard with playing air guitar fast to the rhythm when music is played, directing an automobile with over-action when he sees one backing up, and pretending to smoke upon taking a break in recess. One of his self-appeals is art creation.
Hiroya chooses his main themes, photos of people, animals, etc., from magazines or art books. While folding his arms and contemplating the compositional arrangement with various angles like an artist are his production based on his own aesthetics, his pictures surprise himself upon transforming to strange shapes emitting psychedelic glow, which Hiroya himself couldn't anticipate.

Country star REBA MCENTIRE enthralled fans with tales of the highs and lows of her career during a special weekend talk at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, Tennessee.
The singer took to the stage at the museum's Ford Theater on Saturday (10Aug13), the night after the exhibition dedicated to her rise to stardom, Reba All the Women I Am, opened at the establishment, and joked about her on-stage disasters and wardrobe malfunctions.
McEntire also opened up about the tragic plane crash in 1991 that killed seven members of her band, insisting that the support of fellow country singers Vince Gill and Dolly Parton saved her sanity during the difficult time.
More than 200 fans attended, while a further 300 watched her talk and performance on closed-circuit TV in the Hall of Fame rotunda.
The event was also streamed online.
Reba All the Women I Am will remain on display for the next 10 months.

Our Tour starts after breakfast by driving along the Northern coast of the island to Kritsa, one of the oldest and most picturesque villages of Crete. Here we will visit the 12th century Byzantine church of Panagia Kera located 1km from the village. The church contains the finest-preserved Byzantine-era frescoes in Crete, and for that reason , has become one of the most culturally and historically significant churches on the island.
We continue our tour through the villages of Nikithianos, Fourni, Karydi,Kato Louma and Valto to the sea-front village of Plaka where we will board the boat to take us on the now deserted island of Spinalonga. Our guide will guide us through the ruins of what used to be a leper-colony from 1903 to 1957 where lepers could have a better life, medical help and economic support.
Upon returning to Plaka we will enjoy our lunch at a seafront traditional tavern. After lunch our tour continues to a Vineyard and a Winery. At an altitude ranging between 170 and 215 meters, on a 7-hectare plot, the privately-owned vineyard is cultivated based on the principles of organic farming, hosting various Greek and international varieties. The density of the planting is 3300 plants/hectare.
Lets enjoy a tour of the cellar, the production area and the rest of the estate. We will also visit the wine-tasting hall and enjoy tasting few labels of typical wine produced at the winery, served with crispy puff pastry with aromatic olive paste. Late in the afternoon we return to our hotel.
We drive towards the east part of Crete and we reach the Plaka area .
Spinaloga is the last leper colony of Europe, active until 1957. The history and the culture of the island of Spinaloga became one with human tragedy in the course of time. It carries the history of Ancient Greece as it served as a natural guard for the ancient city of Olou, the history of the Saracens pirates, the history of the Venetians as their fortress, the history of the Turks as their settlement and the history of the Greeks as the place where their leper would be sent into exile until recent times. The island its a beautiful walk full of interesting spots and the sea that surrounds it makes it a day tip not to be missed.
With lots of smiles and many pictures, we start our drive back.
Thank you for submitting your review
Thank u all for a great day, specially a big thank u to our coach Manos and guide Anna!
I would skip the Spinalonga visit, its nice but small and not a huge choice of things to do while visiting it, the beach though, the sail, the drive to Spinalonga and the lunch was really good, we would do it again. Spinalonga entrance was not accepting cards, had to pay cash..

[UPDATE: January 2/19] A reader has informed me that Plnthouse is no longer vegan and it's barely vegan-friendly. They now have meat, fish, eggs and dairy on the menu. They are not focused on having vegan dishes anymore, and many people are showing up to the restaurant only to be disappointed.
I urge you to contact the management and inform them that you are not happy with these changes.
I'll leave my original blog post below so you can see what dining there used to be like. Hopefully they realize that they've made a mistake and will revert back to their former, plant-based menu.
Did you know that Miami is super vegan-friendly? There are plant-based restaurants popping up all over the place. I've managed to visit Miami once or twice every year for the last few years, and every time I'm there, I find another vegan restaurant to check out.
We totally lucked out when we found Plnthouse in Miami Beach. Justin and I had a day pass to the COMO Metropolitan before flying back home to Toronto after our vegan cruise. We didn't originally plan to spend the day at the COMO, but we're so happy that we did. When I simply typed "vegan" into Google Maps, I discovered that Plnthouse was right around the corner. And after dining there, I can tell you that it's one of the best vegan restaurants in Miami.
Ultimate Beach Vibes
Plnthouse is actually part of the 1 Hotel South Beach property, although it's totally open to the public and isn't reserved for hotel guests (although if you stay there, you can charge your Plnthouse bill to your room).
To access the restaurant from the front of the building and through the hotel, it's a little bit of a maze. You have to go up to the second floor, wander down a hallway, walk through a fitness centre, and then you'll reach it.
We discovered afterwards that it's so much easier to enter from the back of the hotel property. Walk along the beach and up a flight of stairs…and you're there! You can enter the restaurant from its beachfront patio.
Natural and Bright
I immediately fell in love with the decor and atmosphere of Plnthouse. It's an added bonus that makes it one of the best vegan restaurants in Miami. The restaurant is spacious, airy, and green. Tranquil shades of beige compliment the natural wicker furniture, and there are baskets of aerating ferns everywhere you turn.
While we thoroughly enjoyed the interior, the sunshine was calling my name. We dined on the patio to savour those ocean views.
Place your order at the front and a staff member will bring it out to you when it's ready.
The Menu
Of course, Plnthouse is 100% vegan and plant-based, with a number of gluten-free and nut-free options clearly labeled. The menu is posted on the wall right behind the front cash.
There are salads, wraps, sandwiches, bowls, tacos, a burger, and a curry for main dishes. Starters include avocado toast, a muesli bowl, hummus, lentil pate, or heart of palm ceviche.
There are also tons of smoothies and smoothie bowls if you're looking for something lighter or fruitier. I'd love to come here for breakfast or after a workout for a smoothie or smoothie bowl.
To drink, choose from coffee, tea, pressed juices, coconut water, or kombucha. Or of course, a smoothie.
Our Vegan Meal
A stunning view and delicious food – what more could you ask for? We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch at Plnthouse.
I started with the sprouted garbanzo hummus because I was pretty darn hungry. For the main course, Justin got the Roasted Tomato Sandwich (turmeric sunflower cheddar, herb aioli, arugula, avocado on sourdough) and I got the One Bowl (brown rice, sprouted lentils, roasted broccoli, massaged kale, and a turmeric dressing).
For dessert, we split a slice of their chocolate cake a la mode, which came with a little bit of crunchy granola. I've never had this combination before and it was super yummy!
The menu was developed by Matthew Kenney, a renowned plant-based chef. His company, Matthew Kenney Cuisine, owns and operates several vegan restaurants in California, Florida, London, and New York.
Our only reservation was the price – it's pretty expensive to dine here, especially for lunch. However, the meal was created with high quality ingredients, and it's one of the best vegan restaurants in Miami, so it was worth the splurge. Treat 'yo self.
The Verdict
We'd absolutely return to Plnthouse! Even though it was a tad pricey, it was a very memorable and tasty meal. Plus, the restaurant is in South Beach and owned by a celebrity chef, so you're bound to pay a little bit more. Considering we were on vacation, we didn't mind treating ourselves.
From the starter to the dessert, we ate until we couldn't eat any more food and it satisfied our appetites until later on that evening. I'm still dreaming about that dessert. Yum!

text: The EEN is adjusting its Professional Credits requirement. Previously, the annual requirement was 5 credits, but 1 credit was equivalent to anywhere between 1 and 4 hours of training. This meant that some companies could have been submitting for 20 hours of energy efficiency training each year, since most of the offered trainings were over 1 hour. While we applaud the efforts of these companies, this proved to be quite burdensome for many of our smaller partners. Therefore, 1 credit will now equal 1 hour of training, and we will require 8 hours of training per year for annual re-up. Please contact us if you have any questions about this change.

Making Java Code Easier to Read (Without Changing it)
Modern JVM languages such as Kotlin, Groovy, Scala and some others offer many language features that let you write code in a more concise and expressive manner. These features include type inference, properties, interpolated string, range and tuple literals, enhanced operators, clojures, implicits, smart casts, and many more.
Even Java (which always used to be very conservative and with good reasons), in its last version (v8) introduced the lambda syntax to make code less verbose yet more expressive.
Prior to Java 8 IntelliJ IDEA had used its folding feature to emulate the lambda syntax to make code more readable:
If you expand or hover the folded code, you'll see this:
If you use Java 7 or an earlier version, IntelliJ IDEA still folds such code for better readability.
Since I'm personally a big fan of Kotlin but daily have to write a lot of Java, I decided to extend the IDE's folding features to emulate some other modern languages' features helping fight verbosity. As a result I built an IntelliJ IDEA plugin. Here in this blog post I'd like to briefly share some of its most interesting features.
Interpolated strings
Consider this example:
If Java provided interpolated strings, it would look like this:
The plugin emulates exactly that via folding, even when an interpolated string contains expressions:
Notice, the folding doesn't break the syntax highlighting or code navigation.
String concatenation
Now consider this example:
If we apply the concepts of implicit conversions and enhanced operators, we'll get the following code:
Still clear but more concise and readable.
Slice operations on strings and lists
Now consider this example:
Here we ask a substring, referring to the length of the string. What if Java provided the slice operation offered by Python? If you enable the corresponding option in the plugin, you'll get this feature emulated in Java code:
Variables declaration
Now consider another example:
Here we use "int" variables to store state. When you read the code, the type itself isn't always as important as the semantics. Since "final" is not enforced by Java, here all "variables" are mutable.
What if Java had type inference, and, all developers always used "final" properly? Sounds academic but the IDE could emulate that through folding and data flow analysis:
This way the code is far easier to understand.
For loops
Now consider this example. Here we iterate over a collection and access both the item and its index:
What if Java supported tuples? Well, our code would become less verbose and still would be readable:
This could be even more concise had we used it along with the previous folding option:
Let's look at another example, where we iterate over an array but don't access its items:
Could it be written in a more concise manner had we range literals supported by Java? Well, at least the plugin makes it possible through emulation:
Equals and compareTo
Now look at this example:
This is what Java forces us to write because of the "referential" equality. What if Java used the "structural" equality for operators? This would make the code a bit shorter and somewhat clearer:
The same approach works for negated equality:
What about compareTo?
Again, if Java had enhanced operators, we could simply write this:
Well, now the plugin can emulate it for you.
Look at the code below. Looks familiar, doesn't it?
This syntax is verbose because of the way properties work in Java: every property is accessed through its getter or setter.
What if Java allowed to access properties the Kotlin way?
It's 30% less code and even more readable. If you prefer it this way, you can enable the corresponding option in the plugin. Of course, the same works for setters as well:
What if Java allowed enhanced operators and Collection provided those for add, addAll, remove and removeAll methods? Look at this code:
The plugin emulates these operators to make the semantics a bit more clear:
Another example:
What if List had the first() and last() methods (e.g. as other JVM languages do)?
Isn't it more readable?
Smart casts
Imagine when we check if an instance of an object is of a specific type, and if so, we access one its type-specific members (quite popular case, by the way):
If Java had smart casts like Kotlin, we would have clearer, more compact code:
Safe calls
Last but not least, consider this example:
Here we use the Java's elvis expression to check for null. Could we emulate the safe calls provided by Groovy and Scala to make it more expressive? Well, yes:
Note, all the foldings mentioned above are optional in the plugin and can be configured in the preferences.
If you decide to try any of these folding, install this plugin. Meanwhile I'll be very happy to hear your thoughts on the matter.
Bug reports as well as feature requests would be very appreciated in the issue tracker.
Develop with Pleasure!

"US Naval Reserve Commander Willard H. Miller has long been communicating this same concern to high level federal officials. With over 30 years in Navy and joint interagency operations with the Defense Department, Miller has participated in a series of previously undisclosed briefings for Pentagon brass about military policy regarding UFOs.
Like many, Miller says he worries that the military's lack of preparation for encounters with unexplained craft could provoke dangerous confrontation when, and if, such an encounter occurs; 'precipitous military decisions,' he warns, 'may lead to unnecessary confusion, misapplication of forces, or possible catastrophic consequences.'
And he says he is not alone in his concerns. 'There are those in high places in the government who share a growing interest in this subject,' Miller reports."

Nouveau DRM maintainer Ben Skeggs at Red Hat has sent in the changes targeting the upcoming Linux 5.2 kernel.
While the Nouveau changes are being sent in rather late with Linux 5.1 already expected this coming weekend, the tardiness of this pull request sadly isn't due to working on some "killer" features. In fact, this round is quite small and mainly just a couple of fixes.
The open-source NVIDIA Linux driver for Linux 5.2 is seeing a spelling mistake fix in the code, ensuring the BAR is properly mapped for NV50/GF100 code paths, properly disabling the i2c bus, and an error forwarding fix.
Sadly there isn't any Turing hardware acceleration (just the kernel mode-setting initially introduced in Linux 5.1) nor any accelerated improvements for Maxwell/Pascal GPUs. The best-supported NVIDIA graphics cards by the Nouveau driver remains the aging GeForce GTX 700 "Kepler" series where at least decent performance can be achieved when paired with the Nouveau Gallium3D OpenGL driver.
The list of Nouveau DRM changes for Linux 5.2 can be seen from this pull request.

The other day I posted about nap time. That night we had another adventure.
After I had put T down in the big bed I heard her up and moving. Eventually I went into her room to check on her. As a reminder, when we checked on her at nap time that day she had no pants on and was missing a diaper. This time she has removed her one piece pajamas from most of her body and they were dragging behind her from her ankles because she can't manage to pull them over her feet.
She also had no diaper.
She was so proud of her nakedness and I was so surprised by it that I cracked up.
Once I calmed down I agreed to try out her pull-up diapers, put her child potty in her room, and leave her in the big bed.
After I had put T down in the big bed I heard her up and moving. Eventually I went into her room to check on her because she started crying for help. This time all clothes and diapers were intact. In fact, she had added to her ensemble.
If you haven't already guessed - which I really couldn't - Tovina had taken the removable seat ring from her toilet and pulled it upside down over her head and then squeezed her arms through the opening so that they were trapped next to her cheeks. And those were not normally the cheeks that get stuck to the seat.
I laughed so hard I almost cried. Unfortunately it meant I was incapable of getting the camera and taking a picture.
Upon extraction she was placed in her crib.

Rwanda Football Federation (FERWAFA) has started a week-long selection process of the U-15 boy's national team.
According to the statement from FERWAFA, the selection process started on Tuesday at Umuganda Stadium in Rubavu District.
After holding the same selection exercise for the Girls U-15 National Team in December, 2016, FERWAFA President Vincent Nzamwita said the event will help the federation secure talented players who will constitute the Boys' U-15 national team.
"The major aim of this selection process is to help us establish a Boys U-15 team, alongside the girls' team which was established last month. The two teams will be exposed to several competitions in a bid to improve their skills as we look for strong national teams in both male and female categories for future competitions," Nzamwita said
After the selection process, both the Boys' and Girls' U-15 teams may play an international friendly match with one of the regional countries.
Meanwhile, FERWAFA will start a National Youth U-15 league competition which will be played in schools effective from February this year.
The National U-15 competitions will attract players who were born after January 2002. The championship will be played across the country during the normal school duration.
The National U-15 competition will be played on an annual basis from the sector level with the best players picked to play at the next level until the Provincial level where winners will be picked and assembled in the National School of Excellence which will be based in Huye District by the end of 2017. The National U-15 Competition will provide a pool of capable, strong and young players who will compose the next national football teams which can qualify for major Africa and global football tournaments.

text: I have a very debated question to ask. Most people do not agree with wild catching any animals, but in retrospect many do. What is your opinion? I thik it is a neccessary practice to keep from inbreeding, but I think that WC individuals should not be sold as pets but rather as breeding stock. WC for the pet trade not only depletes wild populations, but sends possibly sick animals to the general public. Take Japanese Fire Belly newts or Fire Bellied Toads, you find them in any pet store. The problem is they are wild caught, and some poor child may buy them hoping for a new pet, and end up having it die because of stress or parasites. Well anyways, opinions please. Alex

I have noticed many strange and interesting marketing campaigns promoting being good urban citizens and binning our litter. This campaign is perhaps the oddest.
First of all I am not sure it is selling the right message. After all, is not the very thing we love about bad jokes is joking how bad they are? Is the message here, an undesired behavior brings reward in the form of entertainment?
Perhaps I am just getting too creative in my thinking and maybe Edinburgh's litter campaign is making a difference.
Regrdless, this joke's on me!

A few weeks ago, one of mom's furiends rescued a pug. This guy was used by a backyard breeder as a stud and finally was going to live the life that every pug deserves - a life of luxury including napping, eating and playing with his new siblings. He even got a new name for his new life - Brando.
Brando had to make a trip to the vet this week and what they found was not pretty.... Hook worms, whip worms and the dreaded heartworm!!
Heartworm invades the heart and slowly destroys the heart and is fatal if left untreated. It's very important that your parents use a heartworm preventative to keep this from happening to you!! You can find more information on heartworm and heartworm prevention here.
Brando's dads have rescued and are owned by several dogs, including two other pugs, a chihuaha and a St. Bernard! They truly are special people and are heartbroken that sweet Brando has these nasty worms.
We ask that you send some good healing juju and prayers Brando's way so that he gets through the heartworm treatments with no complications.
You can also visit Brando's Dad's blog here.

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Lil Baby and Rich the Kid to perform at Spring Fest
A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Lil Baby and Rich the Kid to perform at Spring Fest
Spring Fest 2019 is set.
The Student Association announced co-headliners A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie and Lil Baby and opener Rich the Kid as performers on Monday.
This year's performers deviate from the concerts in the Fall Fest Concert Series, with only rap artists featured on the bill so far. SA indicated on social media that it will release "more artists" before the show date. The location is to be announced.
Undergraduate students who pay the $104.75 mandatory student activity fee can attend the concert if they reserve a ticket starting April 16 at 10 a.m. on SA's website.
SA President Gunnar Haberl said Spring Fest will be back in its traditional format after last semester's trial of the Fall Fest Concert Series.
"Our team has spent a tremendous amount of time focusing on making this a student-centered event and truly looked at the students' feedback through the SA entertainment survey," Haberl said. "The students spoke, we listened."
Sandeep Chakravarthy, SA entertainment director, said the Spring Fest survey process, where students were allowed to suggest two artists on an online form, was vital to narrowing down the performers. He said he looks forward to ending the year with a lineup that reflects "what the students wanted."
Lil Baby had the second-highest student submissions (51) in SA's survey, trailing just behind Post Malone (55) in the "first-choice" category. The rapper was the top choice in the "second-choice" category with 40 submissions.
A Boogie received 22 student submissions in the first-choice category and 15 in the second.
"Thank you to all the UB students that gave feedback in our student survey," Chakravarthy said. "May 4 will be the biggest event of the year and we can't wait for everyone to come out and enjoy a great Spring Fest."
Lil Baby first came to prominence on the heels of his 2017 mixtape "Perfect Timing." The rapper is best known for hit singles like "Yes Indeed" and "Drip To Hard."
Opener Rich the Kid recently released his debut album "The World is Yours" in 2018. The album found favorable reviews and reception, peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard 200.
The album features guest appearances from rap heavyweights Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne and Rae Sremmurd. He preceded his debut album with several mixtapes, including a collaboration with Migos titled "Streets on Lock."
Students have mixed, but generally positive, reactions to the announcement.
Morgan Digangi, a senior graphic design major, is excited about the lineup and said she is looking forward to seeing Lil Baby and Rich the Kid.
"I've just recently started really getting into [Lil Baby's] music and he's grown on me a lot. Rich the Kid has always been one of my favorites, so I'm definitely the most excited to see him," Digangi said.
Digangi said she was waiting for the announcement all semester and enjoyed the hints SA tweeted out before the lineup announcement.
Aissata Barry, a junior philosophy major, said she is especially excited to see A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie because they share the same hometown.
A Boogie is best known for the smash hit "Drowning," which reached the Billboard Hot 100's top 40. He released his second full-length effort, "Hoodie SZN," in December. The album topped the Billboard 200 and features rappers like 6ix9ine
Other students were disappointed with the lineup.
Thomas Andrews, a freshman media studies major, said he was hoping for a genre variety.
"I would prefer more popular artists because I'm not the guy who's on Spotify 24/7 listening to all these Indie artists or whatever, but I would at least like one," Andrews said. "I personally have never heard of [the artists in the lineup] and I feel like they all do the same style of music."
Andrews said he would love to see more classic rock artists featured in future Spring Fest lineups.
Though SA revealed the lineup on social media, some students were still unaware of the announcement. Gabby Nolan, a geology major, thought SA should make more of an effort with announcements outside of social media.
"I don't even know when Spring Fest is or what the lineup is for it," Nolan said. "I mean, I haven't seen posters for it yet. … That's how I usually learn about the events."
SA has yet to announce a final location for Spring Fest.

Phil and Alan Dorman won the Orchard Rally, and in doing so, are almost certainly going to retain the title of Energia Navigation Rally champions. They only have to start the next event to earn the single start bonus point to be sure of the title. In fact, short of emigrating, they will be crowned champions. Even if they did emigrate, it would still take Willie McKeown and Patrick McCollum to win both remaining rounds to steal the title, and that's not very likely to happen. They would more likely just find someone else to finish runner up to.
An excellent field of thirty-eight cars started the rally from the Armagh Rugby club on a lovely clear and dry night. There was much evidence of the storms from the previous week as many of the roads were covered in a carpet of branches and leaves, but Jackie Anderson and his team from the North Armagh club had done a sterling job clearing the worst of the debris to make the roads passable.
The rally was held to the south-east of Armagh, around the Markethill and Hamiltonsbawn area. It was a fantastically challenging rally for the drivers and navigators alike. There were 15 sections and 51 controls making up the 85 mile route, and coupled with some tricky, but never impossible, instructions, it kept the crews extremely busy. It was clear it was not going to be a low scoring rally.
Well, it was clear to anyone except the Dormans. The Carrickfergus brothers ended up winning by a margin of 40 marks, and were in a different league from the rest of the field in the second half of the rally in particular. They only dropped 2 minutes in the last 40 miles, with the next best crew dropping 28 minutes over the same distance. Willie McKeown and Patrick McCollum were runners up once again. There had been a tight battle for the lead during the first half of the rally, with Eddie Murphy and Barry Taggart reaching the half way break in the lead. Their score at this stage was 11, with McKeown/McCollum on 13 and the Dormans on 15. The second half was a different story. Murphy/Taggart had a disastrous map trace and final herringbone section which dropped them back down to 5th place. McKeown/McCollum dropped small penalties in most sections, but even though they missed the last secret of the night, they were able to hold on to 2nd place.
Gary Sheridan/Lloyd Cochrane, in their Proton, had a good second half, but they had been off route too often during the early part of the rally to finish any higher than 3rd place, on 64 marks. They were at least the best dressed crew of the rally. They turned up sporting striking yellow Proton motorsport clothing. Unfortunately the effect was rather spoiled as they went through a particularly muddy section with the windows down with rather obvious consequences.
Clifford Auld and John Lindsay were out in an Audi Coupe for this rally, which is the fourth car they have used this season. They survived getting stuck in a ditch for a short while to finish in 4th place, which is their best result of the year.

Hubert and Elaine Scott were the best Semi-Expert crew, and beat the local crew of John and Jonathan Henderson into second place, with William Todd/Maurice Cresswell finishing in 3rd. There is a very close battle raging for the Semi-Expert championship. Jonathan, with 3 wins, and Maurice are currently tied on 57 points each, with Elaine, who also has 3 wins this year, only 6 points behind.
The Novice Class was won for the first time by another local crew, Brian and Victoria Black in their Peugeot 306. They had an excellent score of 15 marks, which was 5 clear of Gary and Robert Milligan in second place, and well clear of the championship leaders Ronnie and Aaron Mitchell on 48. These were the only three crews to find all controls, as everyone else in the class picked up at least one "30". Linda Kenneway and Rachel Muldoon finished 4th on 53, and are now 9 points behind the Mitchell's in the championship race.
From the thirty-eight starters, there were 9 crews in the Beginners Class, and a very healthy 13 in the Rallyschool class, for those graduates from the recent Rallyschool held in Tandragee. Aidan O'Connor and Ian Regan won the Beginners Class from Ivor Barker and David O'Neill, with George Wallace and Christopher McCulla in 3rd.
The rallyschool crews had something of a baptism of fire by starting their navigation rally career on the Orchard Rally. If the rally was a challenge for the experienced crews at the head of the field, it must have been quite an adventure for the first timers. Considering the difficulty of the rally, Neil and Rebecca Fletcher did very well indeed to win by finishing on 107 marks. This result comes just one week after they won the twelve car rally that marked the end of the rallyschool. Two class wins in their first two events is quite a start to a career. Interestingly, this meant that three out of the five classes in the Orchard Rally were won by female navigators. Although it was Rebecca's first timed rally, her father can't really be described as a novice. He has been competing for a good number of years, and even won the drivers title in this championship in 1989 and 1990. Of course, they won in a Ford Escort MkI, a car with which Neil is synonymous. Ian and Elaine Crozier finished second in this class, with Raymond Linton and Barry McCarte in third.
In the team championship, Queen's University Motor Club now occupy first and second places, as North Armagh were ineligible to score on their home round. Both QUBMC teams are on 114, with North Armagh still within striking distance on 102.
