Liverpool, Nova Scotia, Canada - Retire from the Usual

CASH ON DELIVERY
a fast paced British comedy with a lot of crazy everyday lunacy.

Imagine the most creative yet convoluted story you can muster. Intertwine that with the lives of several people (most of who do not exist) to make up an ailment of some sort for each - consider their families, their professions. Now add secret bits of juicy information.

Ivan Higgins' Sculpture Garden 4122 Sandy Cove Road, Brooklyn, Nova Scotia

A hobby that grew into a sculpture garden. Meet Nova Scotia sculptor, Ivan Higgins as his eclectic imagination comes to life. Ivan’s simply magical and undoubtedly unique concrete creations will not only grab your eye but will capture your soul.

Ivan, an accomplished artist, began sculpting about 15 years ago with his sculptures becoming a natural and powerful extension of his art. His mammoth sculpting projects are a winter tradition at Cosby’s. Friends and customers constantly pop in and out of his ‘greenhouse’ studio in anticipation of watching his musings take shape. It is inspiring to witness his creations acquire form as they evolve from wire and concrete into unparalleled works of art.
Cosby's Garden Centre

Take a wander through the Sculpture Garden where one is immediately surrounded by a host of abundantly fragrant blooming trees, shrubs, and flowers all complementing the artistry of Ivan’s amazing sculptures.

The Dancing Chicken Café and Local Grocer
Opening mid April 2016

The new eatery is all about local for the pair. The café was renovated by local contractors and many of the items in the café have been purchased or made locally, including shelves, countertops, chairs, and even custom made charcuterie boards.
The menu will have a local flair, with as much of it being sourced from local farms and establishments as possible. Even the bread will have local ingredients – Hell Bay Brewing Company is providing spent yeast for bread. Eventually, the owners would like to have a liquor license and sell local suds.

Nasa Update #10
Fri, 23 Sep 2011 11:45:08 AM UTC-0300

As of 10:30 a.m. EDT on Sept. 23, 2011, the orbit of UARS was 100 miles by 105 miles (160 km by 170 km). Re-entry is expected late Friday, Sept. 23, or early Saturday, Sept. 24, Eastern Daylight Time. Solar activity is no longer the major factor in the satellite’s rate of descent. The satellite’s orientation or configuration apparently has changed, and that is now slowing its descent. There is a low probability any debris that survives re-entry will land in the United States, but the possibility cannot be discounted because of this changing rate of descent. It is still too early to predict the time and location of re-entry with any certainty, but predictions will become more refined in the next 12 to 18 hours.
