Many of our courses are held in the town of Capellades, in Barcelona province. This town is located at 69 km from Barcelona city centre (one hour and a half by public transport).
Located near Montserrat Mountain, and in the middle of vineyards and woods, the 5,000 thousand people town of Capellades provide an incomparable framework for research, networking, and enjoying the countryside of Spain. Moreover, it is famous among archaeologists and palaeontologists by its “Abric Romaní“, an archaeological Palaeolithic site.
In Capellades participants have the option to stay together at the Rural House Can Carol, Majestic manor house from 1495, (check the Accommodation option in the course webpage), having the opportunity to keep discussing during dinners, and to enjoy some time together having a barbecue or using the swimming pool. This option is strongly recommended.
Please be aware that from the centre of Barcelona city it takes about one hour by car and one hour and a half by public transport to arrive at Capellades.

I find it a bit difficult, since grey has so many different tones and forms, depending of material, texture and context. It’s also one of my very favourite color which makes it hard to show you just few examples.
I will start with rooms where painted grey wall is a main element to built an atmosphere. A grey wall in a child's room, especially behind the bed, will make the room immediately cosy and elegant at the same time. You can than add some reach textures of linnen or wool, prints on fabrics, graphic and accessories. The grey can take it all! It will stay in the background and at the same time will keep it all together. If you find it a bit to much to stay only in monochrome colors, you can easily add a touch of pink , neon or yellow. Grey matches beautifully blue and green or red accents.
Do you know any other, so perfect, neutral color to play with ?
New book in town for all the kid’s deco lovers!
“ Mini woonboek “ is coming out in Belgium, written in Dutch, but don’t worry - there is hardly any tekst in it! Britt and Tom ( owners of interior blog : woonblog.be ) are looking for the perfect kid’s room. They visited more than thirty beautiful children's rooms in different styles and show them with details and all interior goodies that make a child's space so unique. I really like the graphic touch of the layout, fresh and bright selection of modern and very up to date kids' rooms.
In the book you will also find their favourite children's store addresses in Ghent, Antwerp, Brussels, Leuven, Bruges, Amsterdam and Paris. And that’s not all, because the owners also run a store dedicated to kids deco called “ Wolf&Wolfje ” , where you can of course get the book…. and many other goodies.
If you google “ house bed for kids “ , you would not believe how many options the market already offers. I have serious problem to select only few images for this post. I see the HOUSE shape beds, frames, boards on the wall , boards around the mattresses or even bunk beds in a simple house shape in kid’s rooms.
The options are endles: from simple, minimalist version of a DIY house, to a ready made a ‘real’ big house bed for your child. From May, well known company Stokke will add to their collection a new bed with the bed frame in a house shape. Is it going to be as famous as their trip trap chair ?
The large , house bed frame is for me a modern interpretation of a traditional four-poster bed. The beams around the beds are used to hang decorative elements for a personal look of the room.
Whether we like it or not …these beds houses are about to stay here for longer.
It’s Friday and I have for you some special treat for the eyes and soul.
Amazing shoot by stylist Marie Graunbøl and photographer Mikkel Tjellesen for Milk Japon.
Simplicity, Soft colours and carefully selected modern products for children.
Finally! For ages I haven’t seen such a fresh and brave children’s furniture collection.
Please discover the new : NIDI Graphic Collection, made under the roof of Battistella. Well known, family company which started in 1953, by Mr. Alfredo Battistella in Soligo, Italy. In 1963, the Battistella brand was the first to launch a line of children's bedrooms in laminate on the Italian market! Currently the innovative business is run by the founder’s son Mario. NIDI is a collection of children's bedrooms that combines play and design in the spaces dedicated to today's youngsters.
“ … Basic shapes and minimal design are the keywords of Nidi graphic world!
Where do I begin my delight? The architect’s heart beat faster when I see a modern house like that, chosen for a photo session for a kids collection. Open, big space with concrete walls and floors. The furniture are designed with an appreciation for the modern aesthetic with a twist. Contrast between raw concrete and red accessories make the space so playful and fool of light. Fantastic!
Today, I'm taking you on a trip through the rooms of children around the world….
Do you know Behomm Community already?
It’s a site to exchange homes for vacations only for designers and visual artists. Access to it is by invitation only, but you can look at all the houses, before you will decided to join the community. I can search through the pages for hours, and hours. Today you have a chance to look into a small selection of homes with children ( from 700! ) . Can you imagine, more authentic, comfortable space , to spend holidays with kids ?

Sky Blue FC closed out its preseason with a 2-0 victory over Rutgers University. Jen Hoy and Paige Monaghan each scored for the Blues.
The NWSL side got things going early. In the 9th minute, Raquel Rodriguez flicked a pass to Hoy who beat several defenders before finding the back of the net.
Sky Blue’s defense would hold that lead until the 77th minute as Paige Monaghan scored to double the lead.
The win was also another clean sheet in the preseason for Sky Blue, something of importance to its head coach, Denise Reddy.

The project is carried out by the Institute of Architecture, Urbanism & Landscape, at KADK – The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts Schools of Architecture, Design, and Conservation; the Mozambican NGO Estamos and Architects without Borders, Denmark. The project’s latest housing prototype was completed in 2018 and consists of a low-rise high-density row-housing typology with six dwellings on a plot where there would otherwise reside a single family. Accordingly, the project demonstrates how space and infrastructure can be utilized more economically and thereby counter urban sprawl and the growing infrastructure deficit.
The project has a green roof where an additional floor can be added, which ensures the project a robustness in case further urban densification should be relevant in the area. Furthermore, the evaporation from the roof improves the indoor climate in the dwellings. The project was built using locally produced compressed earth blocks. Thereby, the energy consumption in the construction process was reduced while adding the same red color tone of the local soil to the project.

Featuring both rough-hewn architecture and softer seasonal accents (hello, flannel!), this cozy cabin nestled in the Wisconsin woods is equal parts knotty and nice.
A decade ago, Patrick McGuire inherited a one-bedroom cabin that had gone to the birds. (Not to mention bats, field mice, raccoons…) But as the owner of McGuire Architectural Interiors in Chicago, he was up for the challenge. During numerous treks from Illinois to rural Wisconsin, where the cabin is located, he replaced rotted logs, installed insulation, and introduced a proper kitchen. In short, he made the 1,200-square-foot homestead, which has been in his family for four generations, livable once again. Today, after 10 years of TLC, details like the knotty pine paneling and working stone fireplace give the space a brand of rustic that's more refined, less "raccoon." An avid outdoorsman, Patrick primarily uses the house as a hunting lodge, but every December, he happily opens up his little labor of love, which has a spacious sleeping loft, to his extended family for a Christmas celebration rooted in old-fashioned charm. These days, the only creatures stirring are the ones by the bar cart.
Throughout the cabin, which overlooks the Menominee River, you'll find initials of past homeowners carved into the beams.
Iconic tartan adds instant warmth to Patrick's living room. From throw pillows to gift wrap, the preppy pattern adds a little polish to the otherwise understated space. For the tree, a simple popcorn garland, glass ball ornaments, and a wooden crate in lieu of a tree skirt reinforce the home's-stuck-in-time vibe. The fir garland above the mantel and solo sprigs of pine found in vases throughout the house also add an organic element.
This makeshift bar cart is actually an old typesetter's stand topped with Nero Marinace marble. Accessorized with loose branches of white pine, it can roll in and outdoors as needed.
Patrick serves up his Wisconsin Mule (a kicky blend of mulled wine concentrate, bourbon, and ginger beer garnished with citrus) to promote yuletide cheer.
A century-old coaster calls to mind winters past and showcases a flurry of Christmas greetings.
Featuring four total beds, the sleeping loft gets a winter refresh with the addition of vintage Woolrich blankets and tartan pillow shams. Long-arm plug-in sconces (in a handsome bronze finish that matches the old metal bed) cast a warm glow for a late-night reading of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.
A handful of synthetic flokati rugs ($13; ikea.com) are scattered throughout the house for an extra layer of softness. Additional pillows, stashed in an ash basket from Schoolhouse Electric ($85; schoolhouseelectric.com), provide more cozy comforts at the ready.
Made of moss- and lichen-covered twigs, the wreath sets an unfussy tone for visitors. Mulled wine, served from a 1960s Danish muller (right) adds to the warm welcome.
Woven chairs, a metal table, and a mounted stag turn the enclosed porch into a game room in more ways than one.
"Every year I hit the woods and chop down an evergreen," Patrick says. "I love how the woodsy aroma fills the house."
Jane, a Portuguese Podengo, stands guard over a circa 1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer.
What makes Patrick's home country? "It's a rustic cabin in the middle of nowhere," he says. "It doesn't get more country than that."

In 1841, Vose Galleries’ founder, Joseph Vose, purchased the art supplies store, Westminster Art Gallery, of Providence, Rhode Island. By 1850, Joseph’s son Seth M. Vose joined the business, bringing his passion for art, in particular the works of the French Barbizon School. Parallel to his introduction of the Barbizon School to America, Seth Vose fostered the growing appreciation of struggling American artists, and began dealing almost exclusively in the more prosperous business of selling paintings.
Boston had become the primary art market by the close of the century, prompting Seth’s son Robert C. Vose to open his own gallery in Boston in 1896. Robert also traveled throughout the United States, exhibiting up to 100 paintings at a time. As a result of his efforts, Vose paintings now hang in almost every major American museum. By the “Roaring Twenties,” Robert C. Vose had established a national reputation, and in June 1924, opened a new gallery in the heart of Copley Square at 559 Boylston Street. The space was four stories high, making it the largest gallery in the United States outside of New York City.
The prosperity of the 1920s came to an abrupt end, however, as the Depression hit. In 1931, R. C.’s eldest son, Seth Morton Vose II, joined his father in business after graduating from Harvard College, followed by his brother Robert C. Vose, Jr., who left the Harvard Class of 1934 to join the firm in 1932. During these lean years, the brothers lived at home, and American paintings could be bought for pennies on the dollar.
Having barely survived this difficult time, Morton and Robert Vose, Jr. decided to concentrate almost exclusively on antique American art and during their tenure helped build prominent private and public collections during a time of rising interest in America’s art heritage. In 1962, Robert Vose, Jr. moved the business to the present 238 Newbury Street location. After their father died in 1964, the brothers counted themselves among the country’s leading authorities in American art history and its painters, spanning the years 1660-1940.
Robert’s twin sons, Abbot W. Vose (Bill) and Robert C. Vose III (Terry) joined the firm in 1969 and 1970, respectively. While both brothers remained generalists in the field, Bill Vose traveled the country, like his grandfather, giving dozens of lectures promoting the newly rediscovered American Impressionists. In 1972, Bill married Marcia Latimore and by 1984 she joined her husband and in-laws at Vose Galleries. Now, Bill and Marcia have brought their two daughters, Carey and Elizabeth, into the business, marking the sixth generation and the first time women are at the helm.

Few Houstonians wake each morning concerned that the clean water that pours from their faucets could run dry, but this is a reality that could affect future generations. In fact, the United States Bureau of Reclamation, USBR, is proactively researching more efficient, cost effective ways to desalinate brackish groundwater and surface water sources.
Chellam received $150,000 from the USBR to research ways to remove contaminants and salt from brackish surface water in Foss Reservoir in Foss, Okla., located several hours north of Houston. The City of Houston, Foss Reservoir Master Conservancy District and the University of Houston supported the project with in-kind contributions.
Growing population pressures and symptoms of drought, which include overutilization of groundwater, increased concentrations of existing pollutants and addition of new pollutants, have taken their tolls on water supplies around the world. Consequently, the relatively clean surface water and groundwater supplies available 50 years ago are essentially nonexistent today, Chellam said.
The extended drought has caused high evaporative losses in Foss Reservoir, and the remaining water has higher-than-usual salt content without the diluting effects of rain. The water district has relied on electrodialysis reversal, an expensive desalination method, in the face of the drought, which is expected to continue for several more years. It is a scenario that has become more common among water districts in arid areas across the country.
The most common method for salt filtration in the U.S. is reverse osmosis, which is also the gold standard for removing high levels of salt from seawater and ocean water. However, the salt content is so high in ocean water that the energy required for desalination is prohibitively expensive for public water utilities in all but a few areas of the world where limited freshwater supplies make it necessary, Chellam said.
Chellam’s earlier work with nanofiltration membranes focused on improved methods for eliminating contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, organic matter and inorganic chemicals from surface waters that serve as municipal water supplies. This project aims also to remove salt from the mix.
Nanofiltration membranes, which are less expensive than reverse osmosis membranes, could potentially fill a niche for waters that fall somewhere on the salt spectrum between relatively unsalted lakes, such as Lake Conroe, and briny oceans.
Polymer nanofiltration membranes have irregular-shaped, nano-sized pores that filter salt and contaminates by size exclusion and charge repulsion. The filters mimic most natural systems with negative charges that repel negatively charged contaminants.
The challenge is to understand the mechanisms by which contaminants pass through filters to determine ways to improve their removal, to optimize flow of water without irreversibly clogging the filters and to determine ways to regenerate the filters when they clog. Chellam plans to evaluate electrocoagulation and electroflotation, novel pretreatment methods, to prevent clogging.
Water conservation is another benefit of nanofiltration. Desalination with reverse osmosis membranes typically recovers 75 to 80 percent of the feed water, which means 20 to 25 percent of the water is lost, said Kevin McCalla, special counsel for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality’s Office of Water, in an email.
In Texas, 13 water treatment plants desalinate surface water, and three more, including one in Galveston County, are approved for construction, McCalla said. All the facilities use reverse osmosis membranes with the exception of one, which uses electrodialysis reversal.
The total combined maximum amount of water desalinated at the 13 plants ranges from 15 to 22 million gallons per day, which means three to six million gallons are lost each day in Texas from these plants, based on 2010 data.
In the next couple of years, Chellam, his graduate student, Mutiara Ayu Sari, and his collaborators from Austin’s USBR office, Collins Balcombe and Anna Hoag, expect to lay the theoretical and experimental framework for meaningful implementation of this technology.

Departures: Daily – All year around.
In this tour we will take you to the Sólheimajökull glacier on the south coast of Iceland. It is only about 2 hours drive from Reykjavík, and on the way to the glacier we will visit the magnificent waterfalls of Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss.
The Sólheimajökull glacier is an outlet tongue of the fourth largest glacier in Iceland, Mýrdalsjökull. At the glacier we’ll enjoy the raw and stunning landscape created by the ice, with crevasses, ridges, occasional ice caves, and a whole arrange of ice shapes.
During the winter, we may find icy conditions on the areas we visit, and the weather may be extremely windy and cold. Ice walkers can be useful, and warm clothing recommended.
Please make on-line booking at least 2 hours prior to the departure. Please note that availability to the Glacier walk is subject to a partner service operator. If the tour is sold out, it is still possible to join the regular South Coast tour or the snowmobiling version.
We work with small groups, usually 19 people maximum, so dates tend to get fully booked rather early. Booking in advance allows us to organize the departures, so please, book in advance when possible.

The discovery rule applies to a judicial deception claim. If a diligent plaintiff has pursued the underlying affidavit without success, accrual need not begin at the time of the search. Plaintiff filed suit against defendants for investigating him in connection with his wife's death, claiming that the search warrants for his home and computer were obtained through judicial deception. The Ninth Circuit held there was no question that plaintiff diligently pursued the facts underlying his judicial deception claim. Therefore, his claim for judicial deception was timely. Accordingly, the panel affirmed in part and reversed in part.
Court Description: Civil Rights The panel affirmed in part, and reversed in part, the district court’s summary judgment in favor of the City of Beverly Hills, its police chief and others in Gary Klein’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, alleging that search warrants issued in connection with an investigation of Klein’s wife’s death were obtained through judicial deception. The panel held that the discovery rule applied to a judicial deception claim. The panel further held that Klein’s judicial deception claim as to the first search warrant in August 2009 began accruing when the underlying affidavit became reasonably available. The panel concluded that because Klein acted with diligence, his claim for judicial deception arising from the August 2009 search was timely. In a concurrently field memorandum disposition, the panel affirmed the district court’s decision that Klein’s judicial deception claim failed on the merits.

Klapach (argued), Klapach & Klapach P.C., Beverly Hills, California, for Plaintiff-Appellant. M. Lois Bobak (argued), Woodruff Spradlin & Smart APC, Costa Mesa, California, for Defendants-Appellees. ** This summary constitutes no part of the opinion of the court. It has been prepared by court staff for the convenience of the reader. KLEIN V. BEVERLY HILLS 3 OPINION PER CURIAM: Gary Klein sued the City of Beverly Hills, its police chief, and others for investigating him in connection with his wife’s death, claiming that the search warrants for his home and computer were obtained through judicial deception. We must decide when a judicial deception claim accrues. I. A. Gary Klein’s wife unexpectedly died at the age of fortyone. During the course of its investigation, the Beverly Hills Police Department came to suspect that Klein may have poisoned her. The police obtained three search warrants to search Klein’s home and computer. Despite an extensive and lengthy investigation, no criminal charges were ever filed. Klein filed this lawsuit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against the police department, the Chief, and the assigned detectives, challenging the validity of the search warrants. Klein argues that the warrants were obtained by judicial deception based on numerous alleged false statements and omissions by the detectives. Defendants argue that the first warrant, which was supported by a 10-page affidavit by Detective Daniel Chilson and was executed on August 3, 2009, is barred by a two-year statute of limitations. At the time of the search, the police refused to show Klein the warrant and affidavit because these documents were sealed. In the months and years following the search, Klein made multiple unsuccessful attempts to obtain the 4 KLEIN V. BEVERLY HILLS search warrant and affidavit. Klein’s efforts included repeated requests to the police department and, when those requests were unsuccessful, he hired a criminal defense attorney to petition the Los Angeles Superior Court to unseal the warrant. On January 12, 2012, the state court ruled against him on the ground that unsealing the warrant would “interfere” with the ongoing investigation. B. The current lawsuit was filed on January 7, 2013, almost three and a half years after the warrant was executed. After the district court granted multiple stays of discovery at Defendants’ request, the search warrant and supporting affidavit were produced as part of discovery to Klein in March 2015. Soon thereafter, the district court granted Defendants’ motion for summary judgment, finding with regard to the August 2009 search that Klein’s claim of judicial deception was barred by the two-year statute of limitations. This appeal followed. II. A. “For actions under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, courts apply the forum state’s statute of limitations for personal injury actions . . . .” Jones v. Blanas, 393 F.3d 918, 927 (9th Cir. 2004) (citing Fink v. Shedler, 192 F.3d 911, 914 (9th Cir. 1999)). California has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury actions. Cal. Civ. Proc. Code § 335.1. Federal law, however, governs when civil rights claims accrue. E.g., Knox v. Davis, 260 F.3d 1009, 1013 (9th Cir. 2001). “Under federal law, a claim accrues when the plaintiff knows or has reason to know of the injury which is KLEIN V. BEVERLY HILLS 5 the basis of the action.” Maldonado v. Harris, 370 F.3d 945, 955 (9th Cir. 2004) (quoting Knox, 260 F.3d at 1013). The discovery rule requires the plaintiff to be diligent in discovering the critical facts of the case. Bibeau v. Pac. Nw. Research Found. Inc., 188 F.3d 1105, 1108 (9th Cir. 1999). B. The search warrant here was issued and executed on August 3, 2009, nearly three and a half years before Klein filed suit. Defendants argue that judicial deception claims, like other Fourth Amendment claims for unlawful searches and seizures, accrue at the time of the illegal act. We disagree. The discovery rule requires that judicial deception claims begin accruing when the underlying affidavit is reasonably available. See Mangum v. Action Collection Serv., Inc., 575 F.3d 935, 940 (9th Cir. 2009) (“[I]n general, the discovery rule applies to statutes of limitations in federal litigation . . . .”). In a traditional Fourth Amendment case, the plaintiff is placed on constructive notice of the illegal conduct when the search and seizure takes place. See, e.g., Belanus v. Clark, 796 F.3d 1021, 1025–27 (9th Cir. 2015) (finding that, at the time of the searches, the plaintiff was placed on constructive notice that the searches were warrantless). Accordingly, such claims begin accruing at the time of the illegal act. See Venegas v. Wagner, 704 F.2d 1144, 1146 (9th Cir. 1983) (per curiam). Judicial deception claims, by their very nature, accrue differently. See Chism v. Washington, 661 F.3d 380, 386 n.9 (9th Cir. 2011) (“A judicial deception claim is different from a garden-variety claim that a warrant lacked probable cause on its face.”). These claims involve false or misleading misrepresentations that may not be readily apparent at the 6 KLEIN V. BEVERLY HILLS time of the search. See, e.g., Smith v. Almada, 640 F.3d 931, 937 (9th Cir. 2011) (explaining that the crux of a judicial deception claim is not that an affidavit lacked probable cause on its face, but rather that an officer misled the judge about facts material to the existence of probable cause). In order to discover the underlying illegality in a judicial deception case, the plaintiff must have access to the underlying affidavit. See, e.g., United States v. Stanert, 762 F.2d 775, 781 (9th Cir. 1985). Only after examining the underlying affidavit can the plaintiff identify the critical facts showing that “[an officer] misled the magistrate judge when applying for the warrant, and had the magistrate considered all of the facts that the magistrate would not have found probable cause.” Chism, 661 F.3d at 386 n.9 (alteration in original) (quoting Smith, 640 F.3d at 937). We therefore hold that the discovery rule applies to a judicial deception claim. Here, Klein’s judicial deception claim as to the first search warrant in August of 2009 began accruing when the underlying affidavit became reasonably available. Rather than applying the discovery rule, Defendants assert, and the district court concluded, that judicial deception claims should accrue on the date of the search, regardless of whether the underlying affidavit is accessible. Such a rule, however, would encourage unripe claims and establish perverse incentives. First, this rule would force plaintiffs without access to the underlying affidavits to file unripe and factually unsupported § 1983 suits, wasting legal and judicial resources as prospective plaintiffs seek to preserve their claims before the expiration of the applicable limitations period. Cf. Panetti v. Quarterman, 551 U.S. 930, 943 (2007) (rejecting an approach that would lead “conscientious defense attorneys . . . to file unripe (and, in many cases, meritless)” claims that would burden courts and litigants). Here, Defendants’ rule would have compelled KLEIN V. BEVERLY HILLS 7 Klein to file an unripe lawsuit based on the hypothetical possibility of judicial deception. Second, such a rule would create a perverse incentive for law enforcement to keep warrants under seal until the applicable limitations period expires. We see no reason not to apply the discovery rule. If a diligent plaintiff has pursued the underlying affidavit without success, accrual need not begin at the time of the search. Here, there is no question that Klein diligently pursued the facts underlying his judicial deception claim. He repeatedly sought access to the warrant and the supporting affidavit. When his requests were denied, Klein hired a criminal defense attorney and petitioned the Los Angeles Superior Court to unseal the warrant and affidavit. When that failed, he filed this § 1983 suit. Even after this suit was filed, Defendants repeatedly resisted efforts to release the search affidavit. It is hard to imagine what more Klein could have done to pursue the factual basis for his judicial deception claim. Because Klein has acted with diligence, his claim for judicial deception arising from the August 2009 search is timely. In a concurrently filed memorandum disposition, we affirmed the district court’s decision that Klein’s judicial deception claims fail on the merits. AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part.
The discovery rule applies to a judicial deception claim. If a diligent plaintiff has pursued the underlying affidavit without success, accrual need not begin at the time of the search.

Architecture students at Lawrence Technological University have teamed up with developer Hassan Jawad and the city of Southfield to potentially create a destination spot for their peers.
Through the Third Place Design Competition, the first of its kind at the university, students receive $2,000 in prize money and might have the chance to see their concepts used in the design and construction of a new business.
Jawad felt strongly that the city and the university should team up.
“We were looking to get Lawrence Tech students more involved with the city,” Jawad said. “Southfield — the city — and Lawrence Tech both started out as commuter cities and commuter schools. As time has progressed, that has now changed. We’re attempting to keep people here after 5 p.m., and Lawrence Tech has now realized that they can’t be a commuter campus either, and are trying to provide their students with the full campus life experience. They now are involved, and there’s a good chance that this could go on and this vision could become a reality.
The students were tasked with creating a vision for the space once occupied by Ink Stop in the City Centre Plaza, south of the Southfield Municipal Complex and just north of 10 Mile Road. The plaza was constructed five years ago and currently houses Café Kabob, Thai Express, Jimmy Johns and Just Baked.
The site is about half a mile away from LTU’s campus.
“You just have to cross the highway and then you’re there. It’s within walking distance and easily within biking distance,” Knoff said.
Erik Slagter, a senior majoring in architecture, won for best atmosphere as well as best logo and branding. Abby Schroeder and Gena Briolat, both seniors with dual majors in architecture and interior architecture, won best overall design. Mike Knoff and Dbee Hewitt, both seniors majoring in architecture, won for best menu.
Most of the design group submitted ideas that involved multiple uses of the facility — for example a coffee shop during the day and a bar at night.
“The criteria was to try to make it as available — 24 hours — as you can,” Knoff said.
The university is looking at the possibility of moving forward and presenting a business plan to run the facility, once constructed.
The facility is hoped to be a prime gathering place for students, faculty, alumni and members of the community.

As part of its responsibilities, the State Court Administrative Office’s Friend of the Court Bureau developed a formula or guideline for figuring child support obligation amounts. The law requires courts to use this formula when setting or changing child support obligations.
The formula is based on common factors which are appropriate for use in the determination of child support obligations. Based on the estimated costs of raising children and factors like parental income, family size, and ages of children, the formula provides for appropriate support amounts in orders involving the support of children.
Public Act 548 of 2004 requires that the MiSDU disburse support electronically. The MiSDU must accomplish this either through direct deposit to an individual’s bank account or through use of a debit card. The MiSDU is the single location in the state for disbursement of all child support payments. To download the direct deposit form in Portable Document Format (PDF), click here. You must have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer to view or print the direct deposit form.
Individuals with a mental or physical disability that imposes a hardship in accessing electronic payments.
Individuals with a language or literacy barrier that imposes a hardship in accessing electronic payments.
Individuals with both home and work addresses that are more than 30 miles from an ATM or their financial institution.
Exempt customers are not required to receive payments via direct deposit or a debit card. They must contact the MiSDU to request an exemption by calling 1-877-4-MI-DEBIT (1-877-464-3324).
Debit card customers may call the MiSDU Debit Card line toll free at 877-464-3324 for information concerning the debit card program (how to use the debit card, fees, etc.), to obtain a copy of the debit card application or direct deposit application, for exception requests, and for assistance if they have not received a debit card.
For automated services such as activation of the debit card, balance information, transaction history, or to report a lost or stolen debit card, debit card customers should call US Bank toll free at 866-276-5114. This toll free number can also be used to change the PIN number associated with the debit card. In addition, customers can reach a customer service representative on this line free of charge once per month. A fee of $3 applies for any additional calls to a customer service representative within a one-month period.
For information about the most recent support amounts receipted and disbursed, or for mailing and residential address changes, customers should call the Interactive Voice Response (IVR) System. Follow the prompts on the IVR to the Friend of the Court for questions concerning the amount or change in a support order, for submitting legal address change, for enforcement, or for other support case questions.
Account information is also available online at www.reliacard.com.

Elizabeth Ann Digital Strategy Facebook Page — My business Facebook page that I manage.
Good Bones Facebook Group – I started this group as a fun extracurricular project. I love interior decorating, therefore, I am obsessed with HGTV. The HGTV program called Good Bones features a mother-daughter reno team based in Indianapolis, IN. They are revitalizing the hip downtown neighborhood called Fountain Square, and they’ve done many rehabs there–I want to say 100 or more thus far.
They aired the first season in spring and early summer of this year and were soon approved for a second season which they are currently filming, to air January 2017. I enjoy the show, and the other more well-known shows, like Property Brothers and Fixer Upper, already have plenty of publicity, so I thought I’d start this group to start some discussion and offer this show a little PR. The group was noticed pretty quickly by the lead cast, Mina Starsiak and Karen Laine, who joined the group early on, and Tad Starsiak, Mina’s brother who leads the demo crew, as well as their intern “Cole” (who I think is going to be very popular), recently joined. Since the show is not currently airing, the group is not super active, but we already have over 500 members and growing daily. I expect it to come alive as we get closer to the start of Season 2.
In the meantime, Mina and Karen do great with their social media channels and are giving us a lot of sneak peeks into Season 2. I’m proud to see them start using Facebook live, as I had suggested to Karen a while back. [Not that they took my advice specifically, but maybe…. ] If you are interested in these types of home renovation shows, join us in the group. It’s fun to learn about the cast-members on a personal level and watch and discuss the episodes in real time. Mina and Karen also love their supporters and are extremely hospitable. They love to take photos with the public, so if you are in the area and run into them, ask to take a selfie with them, they love it!

When I was born, Guinob-an had about 150 families living under coconut trees on a narrow strip of land between the Leyte Gulf to the south and jungle covered hills on the inland side to the north. Most of our houses were raised about 6 feet off the ground and made of nipa and sawali, which is woven bamboo, or a combination of sawali and plywood. Footpaths and a rough, unpaved coastal road, that was forever a work-in-progress, connected the barrios.
The village had a two-room school, an outdoor basketball court that was also our town plaza, and a little stage for school programs to be held. There was a Church near the school—and that was it. Other than that, it was just simple seaside homes, most of them like ours.
Inay Sylvestra’s house was still our home. It was small and square and made of a wooden frame, sawali walls, and corrugated roofing.
Like most houses in our village it was built above ground on wood posts and had a porch facing the sunrise, as is our tradition. It had wooden floors that became shiny over the years from so many bare feet walking on them. There was a bedroom separated by an interior wall made of rapak—small, skinny, bamboo-like sticks, each nailed to the floor.
The bedroom was for the children, and that is where I slept on a grass mat with my brothers and sisters. The main room of the house (the sala) was where, at the end of the day, the parents and Inay would pull out sleeping mats and sleep on the floor with whatever over-flow kids or grandchildren didn’t fit in the bedroom. In the sala there were two benches beside the windows, which were wooden flaps with a pole to prop them open; otherwise there were no furnishings inside the sala, which made sense because we had to keep the floor clear for sleeping at night.
There were kerosene lamps at the end of the benches; these were the only lights in the house. There was also an attached dining room with a big table and benches that could seat twelve people, more if we squeezed together. Also inside, there was an area for washing dishes using jugs of water. Then down two steps, there was an attached shed for cooking, which was done using firewood.
During the daytime the “bathroom” was the surrounding bushes and jungle; at night there was a hole in the floor at a corner of the house, which the kids could use but the adults would go outside at night too.
Families lived by catching fish and growing crops. We used most of the fish and vegetables for our own families, but it was important to have some extra to sell to other families to get a small amount of cash for the few cash purchases that were necessary: rice, oil, sugar, salt, kerosene, batteries. These could be purchased from one of several tiny sari-sari (variety) stores attached to a few of the houses in the village.
There was an open-air dry market in Lawaan where shorts, flip-flops, t-shirts, simple dresses, and school uniforms could be purchased. Many of the families had farm plots in the hills where coconut trees grew; underneath the coconut trees, other crops were planted between the trees. The coconuts provided the main source of income; root crops and other items grown in the shade were mostly for family consumption, although some grew enough to sell them.
Life in Guinob-an in those days was simple and very inexpensive. There was no mortgage or rent to pay because our homes had been handed down for generations; there were no utility bills to pay because there were no utilities; no electricity, no running water. There was no fuel cost because we had no vehicles except for boats, which were powered by either wind or muscle or both. There was no insurance because your insurance was your family who would take care of you if you became sick or disabled.
At home, my mom cooked on an open fire in the yard by the back porch where there was a small pantry/dining area with a long dining table, big enough so that 12 could eat together. This table was the main place where people would “hang out;” the sala was mostly for sleeping.
At that table we ate our meals of fish, rice, and vegetables, or just rice and vegetables when fish wasn’t available. Sometimes neither fish nor rice was available, and then our food was mainly root crops. But fortunately most of the time there was rice.
My most vivid memory about food was that when my mom boiled the rice in a big pot over an open fire, the bottom layer of rice in the pot was usually burned, creating what we call totong—a crispy, brittle, burnt shell. Every time, I would scrape the totong from the pot for myself. It was so tasty!
We got water from streams and from a pump well by the school. The well was a long way for us to walk carrying the heavy water jugs, so we preferred the stream, which was closer and was clear and clean and flowing down from the mountains through the jungle and over rocks, with a small waterfall.
Higher up in the hills, there were beautiful, magical waterfalls; the largest, Amandaraga Falls, is one of the most beautiful places in the world. There are dozens upon dozens of beautiful waterfalls in the interior of Samar as mountain streams rush down to the sea.
I don’t remember any vehicles in the town when I was small; many families had a small boat, and these were the only means of transportation for most families other than walking or riding a bicycle along the paths that connected the villages.
One of my earliest memories is of going with my mom late in the afternoon to the creek, as the sun was going down and the heat was fading, to catch crabs and other creatures. There were large clams that were not pretty but were very tasty. Then there were crabs. The alimango were the first choice—fat, tasty, they look like Dungeness crabs but not as big. You get them in the mud; they are underneath the rocks or in the mangroves. When we saw an alimango, my mom would just grab it. You have to be careful, avoiding the pincers by grabbing it from the back. My mom was an expert.
There was another type of crab—tutut—a small one, its body the size of a child’s palm, that didn’t have much meat but had plenty of tasty fat and was great to eat with rice, especially when there wasn’t much else to eat. When my mom and I would go crabbing for tutut, the system was that Nanay would use a sock over her hand and stick her hand, covered with the sock, down into a mud-hole where the crab lived. The crab would grab the sock, then my mom would pull it out until the crab’s pincer would detach from the body.
Then she would stick her hand, still in the sock, down the crab-hole again. The crab would grab it with the other pincer, and mom would pull it off too. “Okay, you can get the crab now,” she would say to me, and then I would poke my small, thin kid-size arm down the hole to get the crab body that Nanay’s arm was too big to get. “What if there’s more than one crab down there?” I thought but I never said anything. We would stay long enough to get a half-bucket of the tutut and that, with rice if it was available, would feed the family for the evening.
Guinob-an is a fishing village, and when I was growing up my father was a fisherman, one of the best in the barangay. Each day, when the weather allowed, my father would paddle out to sea in his binigiw (a small one-man boat powered by paddle and sail) leaving very early in the morning when it was still dark, bringing home different kinds of fish depending on the season. A binigiw is a type of native boat or baloto. It is made from the hollowed out trunk of a tree with bamboo sides, which we dry and waterproof with tree sap.
The most exciting time for fishing was April and May, when he would fish for malasugi and salasugi—blue marlin and sailfish. During that time of year the great fish were plentiful just a few miles offshore. I was very curious how he could catch such big fish alone in his tiny binigiw, and he told me stories about how he caught them on hand-lines using baits tied to floating drums.
He would put out half a dozen baits and watch them. When a malasugi or salasugi would take the bait, it would cause the floating drum to suddenly dive beneath the water, and then he would chase it, paddling as hard as he could until he caught up with it. He would throw a line over the drum and pull it in and hold on tight. A big marlin could pull his tiny binigiw a long way.
When he finally won the battle, which could take hours, he would lash the fish to the side of the boat and paddle home, and then we would clean it on the beach. I would see him coming in with the fish tied to his boat and would run to the shore and wait for him, and jump excitedly as they dragged the huge fish that was many times bigger than me onto the shore. Many, many years later, after I was living in America, I would discover The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway, and as I read it I felt that Santiago, the old man in the story, was almost like my dad.
I remember Tatay and one brother, Ronnie, would paddle out at two in the morning to fish, then paddle or sail back late in the afternoon around two or three. My Dad would carry with him a small baon pot of rice and some vegetables, sometimes some grilled fish or other toppings if they were available and when he would come home I would always race down to the waterfront and jump into the boat, looking for leftover baon. Almost always there would be some.
My Dad never ate everything, he always left something for me except a few times when he got caught in rough weather and couldn’t use the sail, and had to paddle all the way out and all the way back. On those days he needed all the rice for “fuel” and I understood.
While my father fished, my mother took care of the children. She cooked, cleaned, and took care of a small farm plot which we inherited from Inay in the jungle hills above the village. She also mended clothes, prepared fish for selling in town, and when she could, played cards with some of the ladies in the neighborhood.
Our greatest resource was coconut, which grew in abundance everywhere you looked. It provided everything from construction materials to cooking oil (my mother would make coconut cooking oil at home to avoid having to pay cash to buy oil from the sari-sari store.) We especially treasure buko, young coconut taken when the flesh is soft and only an eighth of an inch thick and the water is almost magically refreshing.
I remember grinding coconut meat using a kaguran. You sit on the stool and use your weight to hold the grinder steady, then take the coconut halves and scrub them on the grinder ball. Because I was too light to hold it steady, I had to have my niece sit behind me and together we could hold the kaguran down.
I also remember that during the coconut harvest at the family plot, I would dig among the piles of coconuts searching for overripe ones that had started to sprout, knowing that these contained a sweet and tasty buwa, a spongy bread-like bulb growing in the interior of the sprouted coconut as it prepared to put down roots.
We also make tuba, coconut wine, from the sap of the coconut flower. My father was one of the best tuba makers, and I was curious to learn how it was done. I was a good climber, so sometimes I climbed the coconut trees to see tuba being collected, and although I never learned the details, what I did learn is that my father would climb up the tree to the flower and then cut into it, then position a lakub, or section of bamboo, which forms a tube-like jug and holds about a quart of liquid, so it would catch the sap.
He would do this in the morning, then check it at the end of the day, and usually harvest it the next morning, full of sap. He would then take it and mix in ground up pieces of bark. After that I’m not sure exactly what he did with it, but after some time he would end up with containers of tuba that he could sell, and I know that his tuba was very popular.
Most days we would go to bed shortly after sunset and get up right around dawn. Kerosene was expensive and daylight was not to be wasted.
One of my most vivid memories is how, on the nights when there was a full moon, the family would not go to bed shortly after dusk, but would, along with other villagers, stay outside, the parents talking and the kids playing in the bright tropical moonlight.
I suppose Guinob-an was a poor community but it never occurred to me to think of it that way. I didn’t understand that there was any other way to live.
Besides, we were right beside the beautiful Leyte Gulf, there were coconut trees everywhere, and guava trees, and mango trees, and the climate was tropical so we didn’t have great need for clothes, shoes, heating; and everywhere there were brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, cousins and grandparents, all adding up to abundance in all the things that mattered.

I interviewed Ken Keppeler and Jeanie McLerie on the 25th July 2003, the day after they had appeared in Lewes as Bayou Seco. On this British tour, they appeared as a trio with the singer, fiddler and guitarist, Paul Rangell. Paul had been a founder member of the band over a quarter of a century ago. He was present throughout the interview and it was inevitable that he should join in when we came to the section of the interview that described the early days of the band.
The interview was intended primarily for an article in the magazine Living Traditions and - as I write this - it is scheduled to appear in their next issue. Because of this, it will be seen that the first part of the interview concentrates on their early involvement in music and their time in Europe during the heyday of the folk scene. Ken and Jeanie were quite happy to talk about this, but they seemed to become much more animated when they were started talking about the traditional performers that they became involved with during their years in Louisiana and subsequently New Mexico. It was this enthusiasm on their part that convinced me that the full interview would be of interest to Musical Traditions readers.
There are quite a number of aspects of Ken and Jeanie's career that have not been covered by the interview, including the various manifestations that Bayou Seco takes for working in schools, festivals, dances etc, and Jeanie's involvement in The Delta Sisters and The Magnolia Sisters. However, it will be seen that there are other things that they wanted to talk about.
Ken and Jeanie seem to exemplify a very healthy attitude to traditional music and musicians. Rather like Reg Hall in Britain, they want to promote the traditional musicians that they work with and are quite happy to take a back seat when they are working with them.
Last night Jeanie, you talked about having been performing in folk clubs for forty years. Did we think, forty years ago, that there would still be folk clubs this far down the line?
J: I don't think that we did. We were all young - twenties - I had come over from Paris and I was playing with my partner, Sandy Darlington. We had done street singing for a year and a half in Paris. We thought, "There could be a better way to do this." We'd heard about what was happening in England. We made a little trip over to see what was going on and we were blown away by what we heard. We went back to Paris and saved real hard, street singing for three months. Enough money in the bank to keep us going here for a while. We didn't have any work and I don't think busking would have been any good for Americans there, though it was very lucrative in France. So we came over and within two weeks we started filling up our calendar. It was at that time when skiffle music was really popular and also people like the Watersons were just getting going, and were still singing the odd American song then. Lots of people were; the whole English folk song revival was just starting to take off. Ewan and Peggy had the Singers' Club. We were approved as real Americans singing American music, though we weren't from that tradition. I had grown up in New Jersey and Sandy was from Washington State. We were fascinated by traditional music and when we were in Paris we had gone to the archive at the American Centre and they had tons of recordings from the '30s and the '40s, like the stuff that's on the Harry Smith albums. We would just spend days there listening to all that stuff. So when we came over here we had a good repertoire, though living in New Jersey all I had was the Kingston Trio and the Weavers and what I'd heard on my radio. I could pick up WWVA in Wheeling, West Virginia at night and I would hear the Carter Family and things like that in my little room and I'd hear these voices that just spoke to me. They were just real people; they were not commercial music voices. When I was a kid we spent our summers at Martha's Vineyard before it became a posh place, and there were people like James Taylor and Bill Keith, the banjo player, Geoff Muldaur were our beach party friends. So I've always been into folk music, all my life.
Sandy and I lived here for almost three years. 1964-1967. We lived in Camden Town, just down the street from Bill Leader, so we got to know all the people that he was recording. He was like our best friend and the Watersons always stayed with us and we always stayed with them when we went up to Hull. So we just got right into the thick of it. And because we played traditional music, it was easy to get work in folk clubs and at festivals. We loved it. Bert Lloyd helped us to get a year's visa to do research at Cecil Sharp House. It meant that we were able to go into Cecil Sharp House and listen to the music that the Watersons couldn't get to listen to. It was a neat time to be here. It was so alive. There wasn't that much separation between the Beatles who were happening at that time and folk music. It was all equally important and exciting to everybody. Ken came over during the'70s and he went to lots of folk clubs then.
K: I grew up in an area that was mostly a lot of people from the south and south-west and a lot of Mexicans. This was in California. There was always traditional Hispanic music in the area. And there was a lot of traditional music in the Country Music Radio at the time and it was the performers that were the DJs. There wasn't the separation that there is today. There was nothing like a Top 40 Country Music. So you got to hear old singers on 78s that had been friends of the presenters. They would talk about them on the radio. And the parents of the Mexican kids that I played with. They played Mexican traditional music and had the Hispanic records. I was surrounded by that music. My father loved all sorts of music and he played the harmonica. He worked really hard; he didn't have time to play music. He had eight kids. Dad was born in Albuquerque. My grandparents were all from around New Mexico and Arizona. I started to learn to play harmonica, then I started to learn to play mandolin from an old Russian immigrant who was the father of a friend of mine. I got into the guitar and I taught myself some piano. I started going out to see musicians, bluegrass at the Ash Grove in L.A. They booked Bukka White, the first time Doc Watson was on tour he went there. It was a big influence on me seeing traditional musicians. I was never into the likes of Joan Baez and all that stuff, because I heard all these other people and there's a certain rawness and honesty that touched something in my own experience, because I was so close to other traditions, living where I did. There's something that you can hear. This is not just somebody looking at a book and playing. There's a feeling about traditional musicians, that comes from human beings' experience. I was very attracted to that. Our family was sort of lower, lower middle-class. My father had quite a class-consciousness. He identified very closely with the people where we lived and from that I've always thought of music as the expression of the people as part of a community.
When I got out of High School, I worked for a while for my dad and then I joined the army, I learned some more guitar. I went to Vietnam, came back and got involved very heavily with the anti-war movement. Very heavily, for a while things got bad, but I kept playing music. It kind of held me together. Around 1970, I took up the fiddle. In 1973, I went to Louisiana and met Marc Savoy, the Balfa Brothers, Dennis McGee. D L Menard, Lionel Leleux, and all those musicians from down there. Barry Jean Ancelet, the folklorist who has done a tremendous amount for Cajun music in Louisiana. I stayed in the town in a little hotel called the Evangeline in Eunice and I was walking down the street one day with my fiddle and a guy in a car pulls up and he says �Hey, what have you got in that case?� And I said, �That's a violin.� He says, �Oh! Well, get in the car and come on home. We are going to play some music!� And that was Raymond Fran�ois, who was to write that book. (Ye Yaille Chere, Traditional Cajun Dance Music ) It was after Ann's (Savoy) book came out. He wanted to do it from his own perspective of someone who had grown playing the dance halls of Louisiana. It's a really good book. It's a good companion to Ann's book. Raymond and I continued to play together, got to know one another; went to visit Dennis McGee. The first time he took me there, it just blew me away. At that time in Louisiana, the folk thing was not very popular and people used to just think of Dennis as an old scratchy fiddler. He wasn't as well appreciated. But at that time Mike (Doucet) was starting to get into traditional music. He had a folk band with his brother. They were all there together. I didn't live there but I used to come back there often.
At the same time as playing with the Cajun musicians, I was starting to play Appalachian music and the Contra dance music in California. I got involved in that scene, and I got involved with a girl and she knew these people that she used to play with and they moved to Germany and so ... By the way, I'd learned to play the banjo too as I went along ... They asked her to come play fiddle with them in Germany, and I said, �I'll come along.� I had enough money for a one-way ticket and 70 bucks extra, so I went over there in 1975 and I was in the band immediately because both Agi Ban and I knew more about the music than the other people that were there. Agi is a very good musician. She still plays in the Bay area in San Francisco. So we played with the band there. It was called Hogwood and we played for a year and a half in Germany, all over the place six or seven days a week for most of the time. At first it was hard, playing bars, folk clubs, not so much the American bases, all for Germans. There were lots of Irish musicians playing there at the time, so we got to know Eddie and Finbar, and the guys in De Dannan. All those groups were over there all the time touring. Clannad. We got to hang around with those kinda guys. Roger Sutcliffe from Bradford was over there a lot. Wizz Jones, Colin (Wilkie) & Shirley (Hart). It was pretty vibrant over there.
Then I went back to the States and just before I left the States, I'd started to take fiddle lessons from Earl Collins, me and a friend of mine, and we'd hang out with other musicians there. When I got back, that's what I started doing full-time. I'd made enough money in Germany just to spend a year travelling around, meeting and recording people in Quebec and all over. I hitch-hiked in every State. I was all over Appalachia. It was a good experience and then I went back down to Louisiana in January '78 and met Jeanie there. We had kinda met before, but it's an odd story. I don't want to get into that. We really met in Louisiana and Jeanie had been there for about a month.
J: I was at a crossroads in my life and I didn't know what I was going to do. I thought, �Well, if I go to Louisiana, maybe I'll meet someone who likes what I like.� I'd been split up with Sandy for five years or so. Our daughter was with him right then, and I had some time on my own, and I thought, �Well, I like Cajun music and I speak French, maybe I'll go down there� and Marc Savoy had been really nice to me and said, �You like this music. Come on down, you can stay with us for a while until you get on your feet,� So I did, but I hadn't been able to find a job because I was an outsider and I'd been looking for just any job, because at that time you couldn't make a living playing music at all. It's hard, it still is, so I was helping out in the Savoy Music Store doing whatever, and Ken came in and we felt like we'd already known one another for many years by the time that we met. Lots of mutual friends and experiences. Living in Europe, busking, and so on. And Ken said, �Well, how are you fixed for money right now?� and I said, �Pretty bad! I've applied for jobs and they just won't take me.� The Jantzen Sewing Factory. They thought I was down there to organise a union, because I was a Yankee.
K: That's what I would have been there to do, if it had been me.
J: Well, I finally did get a job there, the third time I applied. But they told me I was overqualified for the job. �We are not hiring you - you'd be bored.� I said, �I need something. I want to stay here. I want to make a living.� So I finally did get the job. But within a few days of knowing one another, Ken and I hitch-hiked to New Orleans and did some busking and did very well. And we just got along right from the start, just like that. We ended up staying in Louisiana for a few years.
K: We played with Beausoleil when it was sort of beginning, for a while and then we played with Maurice Barzas and he played at Snooks Lounge in Ville Platte.
J: He wasn't a famous Cajun musician. He wasn't even recorded or only a tiny bit, but he was just a wonderful musician, plays accordion, and his son, Vorance, who has since been recorded. He played drums and he was a great singer. And after Will Balfa got killed in that horrible accident, he needed another fiddle player. He asked me but I said that I wouldn't really feel comfortable. Women didn't really play instruments, even then. So I said, �Could Ken and I do it together and we'll share the money?� It was 25 dollars a night..
K: They didn't want to ask two people because they didn't figure that it was enough money.
J: We did the job together and it was great fun. We had to buy our own amp; everybody had their own amp, no band sound system - set up your own and play. So that's where we really learned a lot.
V: That seems so strange that even in the 1970s women would not play in bands. It would not have been the same here. There were plenty of women that I can think of playing in folk dance bands in the 1970s.
J: There was an occasional one played drums. One gig we played with Maurice, it was every Saturday, I guess. You played from 8.30 until 1 am and there were no breaks. If you had to use the bathroom, you just walked off and then came back. They played on without you. And this guy was really staring at me one night and he said, �Are you really playing that fiddle?� This was in French and I said, �Oh no! I'm not really playing it, the tape recorder inside it is playing it for me.� And turned to his friends and said, �You see, I told you so!� The women would sing ballads. When we were there we would meet quite a few of them who did that, but it wasn't considered lady-like, appropriate, for a woman to sit in a bar and play.
V : But even with younger musicians. Do you know the fiddler, Neti Vaandrager?
J & K: Yes, we know her.
V: She plays in a Cajun band out there when they are at home and she seemed to indicate to me that she prefers it when Bart Ramsey, her partner, can come with her to play with his keyboard.
J: It is just starting to change.
K: Well, it hasn't if Neti is still having problems. We haven't seen Neti for a couple of years.
J: She lives there now?
V: She is based in New Orleans for part of the year and part of the years she is in Europe.
K: There was only one Cajun band in New Orleans when we lived there and it wasn't a very good one. It's only since Cajun music has become a lot more popular. The centre of Cajun music was always in the country, around Eunice. Even Lafayette wasn't a big Cajun centre at that time. In the clubs in and around Lafayette, what you get is that dance hall kind of playing. We were lucky enough to be there and to know older people and to hear them play and to play with them. When we met Maurice, he had been playing at this same club for 35 years, every week and it was drums, guitar, fiddle and accordion. It was great because he was playing an older kind of style. We searched out the older musicians because we liked the style better. It was a dance gig but it wasn't the modern dance hall Cajun style. That isn't a style that I really feel that comfortable with.
J: Well, there was, but it was kind of underground and the black musicians were called 'Free men of colour'.
K: When we got there Revon Reed had started his show in Mamou on Saturday mornings with live Cajun musicians. At that time there wasn't a lot of revivalist musicians coming from other places. They really welcomed other musicians coming in so Cajuns could hear musicians who came to the area, like us playing our music. But they stopped that when so many people started coming from outside the area to play. Everyone in the world wanted to come and play on the show. We played on it quite often and Revon would say, �Bring your friends over, because we want to hear them. We want to hear you playing our music, but we want to hear you playing your own music.� All done live 9-12 on a Saturday morning. Broadcast from a bar, people danced and people were drinking.
J: Towards the end of out time there, Dewey Balfa got us involved in taking musicians into schools. So we took Dennis and Canray and Raymond Francois and some other people, Louis Spell. They played for the kids, just to show them their own culture. Talk a little bit about it. Make them feel proud of it. It was English in the schools but French was starting to come back in. For a long time they had been punished for speaking French at school. Finally it all came back around and they were importing French teachers from France and Quebec to teach in the schools, but, of course, they spoke a different French and that caused a lot of trouble, because the Cajuns were made to feel inferior with their style of French which was just an old style of French. It was slangy and it had English words thrown in. if there was a word and they didn't know what it was in French. No-one told them that an 'aeroplane' had to be an 'avion'. So it was 'airplane'.
K: After a while the French people who had been brought in would be critical. They thought it was funny, the way they spoke French, the people from outside, but after a while, they realised that this was a sort of cultural imperialism. Then they started teaching it with more acceptance of the way people already spoke French.
J: The Cajun culture is a lot more than just French. The African influence is very strong, British Isles. Take a name like 'Balfa'; that comes from 'Balfour'. And then the local Indian people, the Coushatta and the Spanish were there; it's in the names. People pigeon-hole it as French-African, but it's a lot more than that. We found two communities where they still spoke German. Church was in German, business was done in French and dealings with the outside world were in English, but they spoke German at home.
K: The time that I was there in the early '70s, if you were young and you played Cajun music you were considered a kind of a geek. And the things that people were saying about Robert Jardell. He was a great Cajun accordion player. But people were just saying, �Oh! You Know, he's kinda' weird.� You're kind of out of it. By the late '70s, it was changing. People were really starting to get interested in it again. That was the good thing. That's what has kept Cajun music alive. It has to change, it can't stay the same. It must have it's roots in its community ... which brings us to New Mexico.
J: I was really sick. I have asthma and finally after multiple cases of bronchitis and pneumonia and whatever, the doctor finally said to me, �You have got two choices; you can either leave here on your own feet or in a box.� That's what he said. I said, �Oh! I'll take the feet.� I told him that I had once lived in New Mexico for about a year and a half in the early '70s about the time when Ken was doing all his anti-Vietnam stuff. That was when my marriage broke up. The doctor said, �Why don't you go back there. A lot of Cajuns who have your problem have gone to New Mexico, including Revon Reed." So we did. Ken said, �Well, I'm not really ready to leave here.� And I said, �Well, you can stay.� We weren't married at that stage.
K: I loved it there.
J: Yes, he did. I did too. I loved the people and the culture. The people were so warm and wonderful to us.
V: And you had made a mark, musically.
J: We loved it, but we just had to leave.
K: It was life or death.
K: Put the mattress on top. It was just like the Great Western Migration.
J: Just everything, oozing out of the side of it. I wish we had a photo of that. God, That was amazing. We drove all the way across Texas and we ended up in Santa Fe, of all places. Because when I'd lived in New Mexico, it was not far from Santa Fe. It was still a wonderful place. It was a place of culture, kinda rough and interesting. By the time we got out there in 1980, things had changed drastically. But meanwhile we had put our money down to rent a place for a year, next to a friend. So we were kinda stuck there. So we endured a year and a half in Santa Fe, which by that time had become what we called 'Fanta-Say'. We were not very happy there, but we made lots of friends in Albuquerque. For instance, Paul Rangell. We were always beating the trail to Albuquerque, an hour south to play the gigs and make money. In the end we moved down there and we were happy there. Then six years ago we moved to Silver City, to live in a smaller community, but I still feel that Albuquerque is very much a home. We have so many friends and we go there often.
J: I remember that so well, so clearly.
K: He lived in Chimayo, New Mexico. We visited him and we started learning tunes from him and from other musicians that we heard, so that we could play for her dances, playing these old Spanish colonial tunes.
J: There were about ten tunes that we just had to learn. How to play La Cuna that's the cradle dance, La Escoba and the first dance of the night which is called La Cadena, the chain waltz. Then there would be a polka and a waltz.
K: Then there would be the quadrilles, which, of course, were in jig-time. And then La Cuna that changes. It starts of in 2/4 and then changes into 4/4. It starts of with a schottische and then it moves into a little polka, in 4. There's actually not many musicians that know how to play for that.
J: There's some tunes that are very similar to the ones we're hearing over here. A polka that you were playing last night (one from the Welch manuscripts) is very similar to one we've used for La Cuna and some that Katie (Howson) has played. Then Ken has played a tune and Katie said that it was very similar to one that she plays. Obviously, all the music that you hear in New Mexico, even more than Louisiana, has come from a really wide variety of European sources. Some people would make you believe that it is Mexican music that has come up the trail. Well, some of it is, surely, but there were so many people that came to New Mexico, like the Italian stoneworkers and the miners that came from Central Europe, many from Poland and the Ukraine. If you go to the cemeteries around the mining areas, you will see where all the names are from. And you hear music that is Italian, for sure.
K: I think that the music was more influenced by people coming in than the dances were. The dances started to die out because it was so isolated in Northern New Mexico. They were group dances originally, because in the 1600s, when New Mexico started, there weren't any couple dances, so people danced in groups, of one sort or another. As time went on, some couple dances came in. Well, we are just surmising, because there are not a lot of written records about this. Sometimes to keep the dances going they would stick a bit of a couple dance in and put it to the 'B' part of a group dance. They have quite a number of dances where there's a group dance for the 'A' and then a couple movement for the 'B'.
J: Like the Chain Waltz that we do. Circle left, circle right then into the middle and out and then you dance with your partner and then you circle up in another group.
V: There are elements of British and French dances in what I've seen of your dances.
K: Exactly. Well, the French had a big influence in New Mexico. As time went on that was the dances that they did. And then they would add things or subtract things and pick up tunes and then make up some dances like La Indita.
Then when recorded music came in, in the USA in the 1920s and 1930s, Polish highlander music, Norte�o music, Black music, Cajun music - and started selling the records in furniture stores. Well, in New Mexico, they didn't have furniture stores; people made their own furniture. They didn't have electricity in many places until around 1940 and that would be from old batteries, so they just got to hear the radio a little bit then. They were very isolated with their own music, and nobody was recording that music, because there was no market for it and the record companies weren't interested. It was so isolated. Most of the folklorists didn't speak Spanish and so they weren't going up to this area, collecting. Ruben Cobos collected some. (see http://www.cc.colorado.edu/Library/SpecialCollections/Cobos.html) So because when they did get 78s, because there were no radios, the records were all of Norte�o, Tex-Mex and Country music. So what happened was that New Mexican music became the music of those 78s and it's only the old people who remembered and played the older dances and music. This was what was happening when we got there. There were still a lot of older people along the Rio Grande, which was more populous. We would meet people in their 70s who remembered the old music. If we got up in the mountains, between Las Vegas, New Mexico and Santa Fe, you would find other communities where it survived. In fact, we played fairly often at a dance hall in Pecos, up on the river, in the mountains, where old people would come to the dances. We didn't have to say this is La Cuna and teach it, we would just play it and they would get up and dance. I think it was probably the last place. Because when we went there with Cleofes and almost all the old people who used to come to that dance, were in the Senior Center and they didn't go out at night. We'd go and play at the Senior Center.
K: His heart had actually stopped.
J: He actually woke up before the oxygen came and he said, ��Baile!, �Baile! We have to go and play for the dance!� So then they got him on the oxygen and they got him to the hospital and it was a long recovery period, but after about six months, he was able to play again. We kept encouraging him.
K: They gave him Coumadin and they didn't tell him that it would make him depressed, which it does. So he was really depressed. He hated where he lived, he hated music and then somebody told us about this and we told him and as soon as we told him, he went, �Oh! That's why I feel like this! Oh! I don't have to feel like that.� He just felt like he couldn't play; that he couldn't play like he did. We kept going out there every couple of weeks and we kept bugging him and bugging him to play. We'd make him play and he'd be really rough. But since we had learned a lot of his tunes, we were able to bring him back. And that's when he made these recordings, it was after his stroke.
K: He quit playing in the late '40s.
J: Well when he started having kids, he had nine kids, he couldn't keep up the music and support all those hungry mouths. And he was a farmer, he raised corn. He did all sorts of odd jobs and he built stone houses and whatever he could do. He had quit playing, and his repertoire had stopped with him. And he hadn't gotten the modern stuff that was coming on the radios. That hadn't entered his repertoire. So that was really fortunate.
K: What he did learn, entered through other musicians. Like the Limbo Rock.
J: But he didn't know what it was, he just played it. Then when we played it with him, do you remember, at Port Townsend that year?
V: But a traditional musician like that would just listen to what's available. And I bet he adapted it to his own purposes.
J: He did, he did. Yes, that's just what he did.
J: All the fiddlers that we met including Alfredo, in New Mexico played The Isle of Capri but they all have their own way of doing it. It was great.
K: Cleofes didn't play The Isle of Capri.
J: No, he didn't, but a lot of the others did.
K: Over the Waves is one. Every fiddler that we came across played that one.
J: The other person that was certainly one of the best musicians that we did meet, shortly after meeting Cleo was this woman, Antonia Apodaca. And she is a firebomb of a wonderful musician. And her husband, Max, played the fiddle. She played diatonic accordion, 3 row and 2 row.
J: And guitar. She played lead guitar and she was really great. And they'd lived up in Wyoming, even although they'd had been in New Mexico since they were kids. They'd gone up to Wyoming to pick beets. That was the big crop up there.
K: And then he got a job in the uranium mines.
J: And they raised their five kids in Wyoming. So their music changed with living there and being more countrified, more Country & Western. They'd take their polkas and they'd tilt them a little bit to the left or to the right to be a bit more Country and Westerny to appeal to the ranchers so they had lots of music and they finally moved back to New Mexico after all their kids were raised up. When we met them, it was one of the events that Cleofes was at and we became really good friends with her and her husband. And then shortly after that her husband died of a heart attack. So then we kind of took her under our wing after she went through her year of not playing. We started getting her out and took her to San Diego for the festival, to Port Townsend, to Washington to the Smithsonian. We took Cleofes also.
K: Plus playing other local gigs with them.
J: Just to get her on her feet again, and now she plays most of her gigs by herself. She has a little amp and ... She is amazing. She has a little tape recorder and she will have a tape of herself playing guitar on a polka. Then she has another tape recorder and she will play more guitar. I mean this is really low tech ... and then she will play accordion live. Or sometimes she just takes along the one tape of her playing the guitar. She sticks it on and plays accordion with it. I mean, that's so great. She is 80! She figured out how to do that.
K: She lives at 8,000 feet. There's a house and an outhouse. She was born in that house and her mother was born in that house.
J: She cooks on a wood stove. She does have electric, no running water, she pumps water. The bears come and she says that when the bears come, she plays the accordion and that keeps them away. There's a lot of bears because she lives way up in the wilds. A few years ago, a bear broke into a woman's house and mauled her. An older woman.
K: She was ninety something years old, yup!
J: They can be really dangerous. When there's a drought and they are not getting enough food and water. She says, �I'm not afraid of the bears; when they start coming, I just start playing my accordion and that chases them away." She's great. She's just a total original.
V: And what sort of music does she play these days?
J: Very traditional New Mexican.
K: Plus the songs she writes. She writes a lot of songs, sort of blues.
K: She writes songs, tunes in the old style. Accordion and guitar. She plays a lot of the old pieces that she learned from her father and her uncles. They were all musicians, through the generations in that area. She plays a lot of old tunes and she sings a lot of old songs. But when she goes on a gig, she likes to sing a lot of her new songs.
Then I wrote this song.
The night of the storm.
And it just talks about that. She's amazing.
K: She is. And we are talking about real serious storms. They get eight feet of snow up there sometimes.
J: Paul - what do you want to say.
P: Well, Antonia Apoldaca has got really unusual musical skills and abilities, I think.
J: We would love to see her come over here.
J: Or they are shorter.
P: She takes liberties and she expects all those around here will just follow and get her line and if you don't, her attitude is ... Well, she doesn't accept it easily. She is pretty demanding.
V: Is that because of her style or because she is used to playing on her own?
K: I think it's a combination of both because it is an isolated area. People there - Cleofes would do the same thing - usually they are only ever used to playing with a couple of different people. And so they followed each other. It was also true in Louisiana, when we played with Maurice. He would start a tune; he was always trying to play something that we had never heard. So, he would play something that he had not played in thirty years.
J: He was always trying to stump us.
K: He would play the accordion, one time through, and then it was our break - on stage! And then when people would sing, they might sing longer, or shorter, or they might put chords in a different place. Everybody in the bands in Louisiana at that time always listened really carefully to what other people were doing. So you had the freedom to do whatever you wanted because they were always listening to you. And if you held the 'five' chord another measure, they just followed. Nobody went, �Aw! He didn't change at the right time." And so they listened real closely. So I think that is more common in traditional music for people to do that and others to accept it.
J: Well, when you have got a dance, whatever it is - contra dance, square dance - you are relying on eight measures or sixteen measures for the dance to work, but in these other forms, it doesn't matter at all. And when you get to the other sort of music, which is Arizona music, which we have really been involved with. Music from the Tohono O'odham people. Most of the native American peoples in Mexico play fiddles, but in the United States, not so much. Up in Canada - yes well all across Canada and some up in the northern part of the United States, but not so much with the Apache and so on. Not so much fiddle playing. There was one in Louisiana - one Coushatta Indian, Deo Langley, who played fiddle. But these guys played fiddle because the Jesuits came through and tried to make them be Catholics and gave them fiddles 200 years ago. They learned to play for the Mass. So they had fiddles, they heard other music, they learned it. My theory is that the native American people don't have a binary system. They don't separate things into 2,4,8, but their music is really free. It has no ... the amount of measures has no bearing on the music and certainly the dance does not dictate it. So therefore, it is really free and that's what I love about it.
K: Many of the melodies are borrowed and filtered and hybridised from European melodies and rhythms.
J: Well, mazurkas, polkas, waltzes.
K: It is the same forms.
K: So there's that, but also some of their melodies are sometimes recognisable to some people like yourself who's played lots and lots of tunes for lots and lots of dances over the years. There's a glimmer of a phrase that you have heard before.
Or in this case with these native Americans, living not too far from the border, their music could have been filtered from accordion tunes from the radio in the 1930s, say.
J: But also they knew what was going on in Tucson which was the nearest town - Tucson and Phoenix - they would have heard other influences besides - whatever.
J: Even Appalachian, because many, many people from the Appalachian area moved west. And so there's old fiddlers from Oklahoma, there's one in New Mexico we knew, a cowboy fiddler who had a repertoire that was real Appalachian. Munroe Gilmore, he used to play tunes and they were not the Texas style of tune. They were from much further back east. And that's what he retained as his repertoire.
K: But an example of the Tohono O'odham repertoire that sticks out in my mind quickly is Caballito Blanco. It is a tune that Cleofes also plays. A very similar melody, that has relatives in Appalachian music. And Strawberry Roan written by Curly Fletcher; not a Tohono tune, but there are New Mexican versions.
P: With some verses sung in Spanish?
P: But Caballito Blanco is a tune that has interesting shifts from major to minor. I don't know; some of the tunes that we have learned from the Tohono O'odham people seem to have elements of Eastern European music in them.
J: To me there's also a Swedish influence. I think it's Karl Lumholz myself. He did a lot of collecting all around Mexico and he played the fiddle.
V: How did the band Bayou Seco come about? What year did that happen?
P: There's different versions of how that happened! We were waiting in line to play at an event called ... We'd been playing together some, kind of informally; we maybe had played one or two jobs ... We were waiting in line to play at the Santa Fe fiddle and banjo contest. We were thinking of what to call ourselves to enter this contest. My memory is that I said, �Why don't we call ourselves Bayou Seco?� but Ken's memory is that he said it!
J: My memory is that Bonnie Apodaca, who taught us all the dances lived in a place called Arroyo Seco, so we followed on to think that Bayou Seco was an appropriate title ... But anyway, we were all there at the time. The name came and it stuck.
P: It was the name that was put down for that contest.
J: Yea and anyway, Emily his girlfriend at the time started playing triangle with us and washboard. She already played some banjo and then she learned guitar. We sort of became a four-piece band. But then they (Paul & Emily) moved to Santa Cruz in 1983 and we had only been a band for a year, but we had made a cassette. We had made the Cactus, Gumbo and Alligator Enchiladas cassette.
P: ... to Canada, twice as I recall.
J: But even after you (Paul) moved to California, we still did a lot of that travelling together.
P: And then you came out to play in California.
V: Playing the same sort of music that you are playing now?
K: Sort of. We didn't know as much of the Tohono music or the Spanish colonial stuff as we do now, but we did Cowboy songs - we've also always collected Cowboy stuff. The new CD has a song on it called The Crooked Trail to Holbrook and I was showing that to my great-uncle - Lomax's book, or maybe it was Thorpe's (it was the latter), and it has this song, The Crooked Trail to Holbrook and he said �Oh! I remember that. We used to do that song. And actually, I drove cattle on that trail a couple of times with my father.� And they had driven cattle on that trail. They had down there by Holbrook. My grandmother was born in Globe, Arizona. And the trail goes right through Globe. Some of the people in the song were from Globe. I thought, �Maybe I should learn this song.� I seen one version of it but it didn't have a melody written down. But she (grandmother) said also that people used any melody that came into their heads because mostly the songs just came as words written down. So there have been lots of versions of these songs with all sorts of different melodies. So I just sort of made a melody up for it and put it in there.
P: That was our first name, Bayou.
K: And we had just got there from Louisiana.
J: And then we started learning more of the Spanish stuff.
J: Which, of course, are fabulous.
P: That was the glue, the fundamental repertoire. When we first got together, I was pretty new to the fiddle. I was a fledgling fiddler and I played a lot of mandolin at the time.
K: We played a lot of square dance music because we had all played for dances.
P: Of necessity. That was the work. If we were playing a bar job, I'm sure that we would be playing more Hank Williams' songs.
K: If it's a concert, out come some French ballads. If people want fiddle music, we can provide it.
J: I think what we have done as we have gotten older and can do more and more stuff from different sources, we have kinda honed it more into the cross-cultural Chilli Gumbo, that's the South-West, with bits of Appalachian thrown in, just because that is different from what anybody else does.
K: Also, a lot of the people were saying, �This is great, but none of our kids are learning this stuff. You've got to learn it and teach it to other people.� So that people continue to play this music. I've been playing for dances and sometimes they are dances that don't exist anywhere else any more. We go back and play on the reservations sometimes, for celebrations or for, well, funerals mostly, because we play an old style that isn't played that much, but now some young people are starting to learn it from our cassette which is sold all over the reservation - which is rather odd.
J: We put together a cassette of the music that we learned from Elliott Johnson, an old Tohono O'odham fiddler. He had taught us so much music and he died way too soon, too young. He was in his sixties - he shouldn't have died yet - but he did. And he had taught us all these tunes that he had not recorded ever and nobody knew them. So we made this little cassette called Memories In Cababi just to document some of the tunes. And that sells out on the reservations.
K: That's mostly where it sells.
But we went into a trading store one day, on the reservation and we were looking at the CDs and cassettes and there was our Memories In Cababi - Bayou Seco - Well, it says 'Bayou Eclectico' because it was with lots of members of the Bayou Seco Family.
K: It doesn't have our picture on it.
P: Great! It's a great example of what they are speaking about now. One thing I'll never forget is the first time that we went out searching for these fiddlers that we met eventually, through this friend of ours who loaned us a cassette. It was at Easter time around, I suppose, 1989. Because my boy was a baby. Well, we went out there and, you know, it's pretty bleak and we drove out just the four of us and our baby.
P: Yes, he looked pretty amazing at the time. And I think that my wife might have been pregnant with number two. So here we are, a motley crew. We get out there and they are having an Easter feast. We walked right up and there's long tables and we said, �Well, we are looking for an Elliott Johnson, Lester Vavages.� You know, these fiddlers were not there.
J: They had been there earlier!
K: Picking up quarters with their teeth, dancing to these great 6/8 Yaqui Indian Pascola (Easter) tunes played by an old fiddler. They had deer rattles strung around their ankles and they would rattle in time to the music.
K: In New Mexico, the traditional Spanish colonial music is, for all intents and purposes, almost gone or there are only a few people do it. When people think of New Mexican music now, they think of that Mexican Country sound. There's a particular sound to New Mexican popular music. It's got its own sound, but it's only very distantly related to the Spanish colonial music and the old ballads that they sung. There's one other old guy, about our age, who plays it, Cipriano Vigil from El Rito, NM. He is a singer and he writes some of his own songs. So there is not much dancing. There are some people who put together little dance troops and do some dancing. But we try to teach it as much as we can. But the attitude is one of not even knowing that this music and dancing existed. I think that in a few years people may become interested when they realise that it is gone or going. Maybe there will be a revival. It gets very little media exposure, because even the media doesn't know it exists. We've done some things on public TV and sometimes on the Spanish TV stations, there's a few things, but it's difficult. Basically, there's a lot of politics involved - us being Anglos. Not so much from the communities where the music was played. They don't care, but when you get into the cities, you get involved with cultural politics at the universities and within the Arts Folklore committees and the people who control the money - the funding. They have the idea that it's almost better for something to die than encourage someone who didn't grow up in one of the villages to get involved.
At one time, Cleofes Ortiz - we heard that he didn't qualify for arts funding because he had learned his music from his uncle and not from his father. There's a lot of bizarre politics in this. It's the same all over the world. The use of cultural power and all that. We decided at one time that it was too frustrating to deal with; let's just do what we do. We do get a very good response when we play in villages and little communities in Northern New Mexico, from the people there. There's none of these problems with that. The problem comes when you try to get funding.
J: We never bother to try to get funding any more, so therefore we funded it ourselves. We just went forward and met people and recorded them and we did put together one little cassette for the archive at the University of New Mexico called Ten Great New Mexican Fiddlers and we have given them to their families. These families didn't even have recordings of their old granddad. Stuff like that we have done ourselves. But we have stayed out of the whole political part of it.
K: Every time that we do, we get burned; but we might be able ... There is a guy who collected; a guy John Donald Robb who was the head of the music department starting in the 1950s or late 1940s at the University of New Mexico. We knew him; He died when he was like 98. He had collected all over the place. He wasn't really a folklorist, so he just collected, so it's not folklorically great stuff sometimes. But it was really fortunate that he did all that. We know people at the archive and we do songs that we have learned. They would have us put on something at the Spanish cultural centre; we will have to wait and see if that happens. It might have to be somewhere else because of the politics. But the people at the archive want it to happen, because nobody else is using the stuff that is in there; to get that music back out. It has never got back out to the people. It is real sad. A long time, we made tapes of the music from the archives. It was more open then. They've obviously clamped down on it since then. We'd send tapes to the local libraries and schools - the music of their areas and say, �Look, this was recorded here. Make this available", but usually it just disappeared. Somebody would hear it and say, �Oh! That's my uncle. I'll have that!�. There's got to be some way of getting that music back into the communities so that people know that the opportunity to start re-learning the tunes and to start doing the dances, because there are still some people who remember them.
J: So often, it's the outsiders, the people who have come from outside the culture and the community who see the value in a tradition; who will try to give it back; who will wake those people up and say, �Look at this! You didn't see any value in it because you were too close to it. But it's a monumental job.

Cocoa butter, also known as theobroma oil, is a natural (and edible) fat extracted from cocoa beans. Because of its silky texture, mild cocoa fragrance, hydrating benefits and emollient properties, cocoa butter is used to make chocolate, as well as ointments, pharmaceuticals, toiletries and food products. Cocoa beans are rich in antioxidants, and some of these antioxidants remain in cocoa butter even after it is extracted.
Cocoa butter offers several health benefits for skin and hair. Here are 10 ways you can boost beauty naturally with this super ingredient.
Cocoa butter is rich in vitamin K and fatty acids. Applying it at night can help your skin repair itself. It’s not ideal, however, for people with acne or oily skin, but it may help repair skin that is dull, mature, dry or flaky or scarred skin.
1: In a saucepan or double boiler over gently simmering water, combine beeswax, cocoa butter and almond oil. Stir gently until melted.
2: Add essential oil (if using) and vitamin E oil. Remove from heat and pour into tubes or pots.
3: Set aside until cool and hardened. Apply labels and store away from heat.
Apply cocoa butter to a pregnant belly or other stretched skin to reduce the look of stretch marks over time. After a bath or shower, rub cocoa butter liberally over stretched skin every day.
Rub a small amount of cocoa butter on eczema, dermatitis, rashes and burned skin to soothe it and expedite healing. For this application, use pure cocoa butter that doesn't contain any alcohol or fragrances. Also, use cocoa butter together with aloe vera gel or tea tree oil to help heal burned or irritated skin.
In a saucepan or double boiler over gently simmering water, combine oil and aloe. Stir gently until melted.
Remove from heat and stir in kaolin clay (if using), baking soda and castille soap. Whisk or blend well for several minutes and remove from heat to cool. While shaving cream is cooling, check to make sure the ingredients aren't separating. If they are, shake or mix well to re-incorporate.
Transfer to jar or container and store at room temperature.
To use, rub some natural shaving cream onto legs before shaving.
Rub a dime-size amount of cocoa butter into dry hair before styling to help reduce frizz. Cocoa butter also makes a great pre-shower conditioning treatment if you melt it and apply quickly (make sure not to leave it in hair longer than 20 minutes before rinsing out as it will solidify).
1. In a saucepan or double boiler over gently simmering water, melt oil. Stir gently.
2: Stir in baking soda, mica and polysorbate 80 (if using).
3. Transfer to jar or container and store at room temperature.
4. To use, drizzle a small amount into hot bath water or pour over a fizzy bath both. Makes enough for 15 baths.
Cocoa butter can boost your body's collagen retention for healthier, more elastic skin. Make a topical lotion by combining ½ cup cocoa butter, ½ cup of shea butter, ½ cup coconut oil and ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil. If desired, stir in a few drops of essential oil. Store at room temperature in a mason jar and apply topically to keep skin supple and hydrated.
Pamper your hard-working feet and toes by soaking them in a tub or bowl of warm water infused with cocoa butter. Stir 2 tablespoons cocoa butter into hot water and let cool slightly until you can soak feet comfortably.
Cocoa butter is a perfect ingredient for making buttery blends that are all natural (and edible). Try making this Cocoa-Coconut Love Butter from Making Love Potions by Stephanie L. Tourles (Storey Publishing, 2016).
Combine the coconut oil, almond oil and cocoa butter in a small saucepan or double boiler and warm over low heat until all the solids are just melted. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring a few times to blend. Pour into a 4-ounce jar or tin. Cap and label. It’s best to use it within one year stored at room temperature. It’s slow to thicken, so it may require up to 24 hours to reach its final creamy, buttery texture.

This product is a homeopathic drug. Unlike conventional, allopathic drugs which must be proven safe and effective prior to marketing, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows homeopathic drugs to be marketed without clinical trials or other scientific evidence establishing their safety or efficacy.
The efficacy of homeopathic drugs is based upon theories from the 1700s that most modern medical experts reject. Examples of such theories include the Law of Similars (the theory of “like cures like”) and the Law of Infinitesimal Doses (the theory that diluting a drug in water or alcohol increases therapeutic potency).
Consistent with homeopathic theories a “proving” is conducted to determine which symptoms a homeopathic drug produces at various dilutions. A proving is not like a conventional clinical trial, which is usually randomized, double blind, placebo–controlled and conducted on sick persons. During a proving, healthy individuals (also known as “provers” will take a homeopathic drug at different dilutions and record their thoughts, feelings and dreams; the provers do not know which homeopathic drug they were given. Their symptoms are then compared. If the homeopathic drug produced a common symptom among the provers, the homeopathic drug is expected to cure a person sick with the same symptom based upon the homeopathic theory that “like cures like”.
Some homeopathic drugs have been clinically tested with differing results; some were found to be more effective than placebo, and others were found to be ineffective. Our products have not been clinically tested. As the FDA allows under its compliance policy for homeopathic drugs, our claims are based on homeopathic theories.

Does anyone (Big MVS ?) have a good engine bay wiring harness for a GTA Turbo, for sale ? I am still trying to eliminate rough running. I have replaced the injectors, but I am not sure that all the electric connectors are in good order. I am happy to replace the entire engine bay harness from the big multiplug in the back right corner of the engine bay, on. If I can get one.
I don't have anything like that left anymore. Have you seen this one?
Hi Martin. Thanks, yes I've seen that one. It looks like its been messed around with a bit, also it doesn't seem to have the injector part of the loom which is the part I really need.
It’s actually 100% original and untouched. The early loom is in two halves so the injector loom is still on the engine at the moment. I have the later version of the loom as well. However if you are having trouble with the injectors wiring I would suggest remaking it as used wiring will generally be brittle in that area.

Students will participate in informative classroom-style presentations as well as practical demonstrations with a variety of Police Department personnel. Activities include a police facility tour, a jail tour, real world exercises, fingerprinting and crime scene investigation, and other demonstrations.
Instructors are drawn from all areas in the Department. Students meet the Chief of Police, Captains, managers, supervisors, patrol officers, detectives, dispatchers, and other department employees. We encourage students to ask questions and express their concerns about pertinent issues. A major goal of the Citizens' Academy is to increase understanding between our community and the Police Department and to enhance the strong relationships we have with the community.
While the Academy will give students a better understanding of how the Police Department is organized, the services we provide, and how we serve the community, it is not based on a traditional police academy. The program is not designed to prepare students to be police officers or provide training in the field of law enforcement. A typical Citizens' Academy class is made up of 20-25 students of all age groups, and instructors will accommodate any physical limitations.
The Montebello Police Department is happy to announce a new program called the “Safe Exchange Zone”.
Safe Exchange Zones are designed to increase safety for individuals buying and selling goods through websites such as Craigslist, Offer Up and Facebook's Marketplace. There will be designated parking stalls at the Montebello Police Department for individuals to complete these types of transactions, without the fear of being robbed for their property or money or the fear of violence.
The City of Montebello and other cities have experienced numerous violent crimes during private party exchanges. These exchanges began as private party transactions where citizens have agreed to meet in a retail center parking lot or at a private residence. These cases involved the seller intentionally luring the buyer or seller to these locations with the intent to rob them.
Beginning today, the Montebello Police Department will designate two parking stalls in the public parking lot of the Police Department located at 1600 West Beverly Boulevard. The parking stalls will be well lit at night and marked with signage that indicates the stalls are for the purpose of Safe Exchange. The parking stalls may be monitored by surveillance cameras and/or officers at all times.
The Montebello Police Department encourages anyone meeting a buyer or seller to take advantage of the Safe Exchange Zone at Montebello PD as a safe alternative to conduct private party transactions.
Traffic Officer Estupinian conducting enforcement of a truck off the designated route.
The Police Department has recently received several complaints of large, commercial vehicles driving off the truck route and onto residential streets. The city has designated certain roads to be suitable for commercial traffic per California Vehicle Code 21101. The routes are designed to keep heavy vehicles off residential streets as well as steep grades where braking could be a concern. Large trucks traveling off these routes can cause traffic hazards and damage streets not designed for the excessive weight. The routes are marked by traffic signs, several of which have recently been added or replaced for better visibility.
On August 29th, the Montebello Traffic Bureau responded to the communities concerns and conducted focused enforcement on commercial vehicles throughout the city. Montebello Police Officers were assisted by two sergeants and four officers from the California Highway Patrol who specialize in commercial traffic law enforcement. These additional resources helped make a large impact on the day’s operation and helped educate drivers on the rules of the road.
Officers conducted numerous traffic stops related to enforcing our large vehicle and commercial trucking laws. These traffic stops resulted in over 50 citations being issued. The Traffic Bureau will continue to make commercial trucking law enforcement a priority to improve on today’s progress. The Montebello Police Department is grateful to the CHP for their assistance in making today’s operation a success.
Montebello, CA—In the United States, the Cinco de Mayo holiday is often associated with parties and alcohol. If you’re celebrating with friends and family this weekend, remember that at the end of the night, you need to have a safe and sober ride home. Police, Sheriff and the CHP will be out in force looking for the tail-tell sign of impaired driving this weekend.
The Montebello Police Department will deploy additional officers on special DUI Saturation Patrols specifically to stop and arrest drivers showing signs of alcohol or drug impairment during the hours of 8:00 PM and 3:00 AM in areas with a history of DUI crashes and DUI arrests.
In recent years, California has seen an increase in drug-impaired driving crashes. The Montebello Police Department supports the new effort from the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) that aims to educate all drivers that “DUI Doesn’t Just Mean Booze.” If you take prescription drugs, particularly those with a driving or operating machinery warning on the label, you might be impaired enough to get a DUI. Marijuana use can also be impairing, especially in combination with alcohol or other drugs, and can result in a DUI.
MMHET and CRU teaming up in the riverbed.
On 04/24/18, The Montebello Mental Health Evaluation Team (MMHET) along with the Community Relations Unit conducted a “clean-up” of the riverbed area between Montebello and Pico Rivera. This area is divided between the City of Montebello, City of Pico Rivera and County of Los Angeles County. Several areas of the riverbed, especially under and around the bridges, have been used by people needing housing assistance. The primary goals of the project were to provide several sources of assistance for those in need and to remove waste and dangerous items from the area.
Students will participate in informative classroom-style presentations as well as practical demonstrations with a variety of Police Department personnel. Activities include a police facility tour, a jail tour, simulated exercises, firearms instruction, fingerprinting and crime scene investigation, and other demonstrations.
The Academy is 7 weeks long, with one two and a half-hour class each Thursday from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. All classes are held at the police department (1600 W. Beverly Blvd).

Earlier this week a twelve year old became the teacher and I was very much the student.
It wasn’t a typical situation where a younger person is helping out a not-as-young person with Snapchat, dabbing or explaining what the running man challenge* is.
Dabbing – just sneeze into your elbow and you’re doing it!
There we were, enjoying a typical class discussion about the difference between equity and equality. The discussion had shifted to how we could create pieces of writing to teach younger kids about this. A few kids were uncertain about where to go or what to do. As a class, an early belief we established with writing is that brainstorming and planning is the key part, so it isn’t strange to see one or two kids sitting around during sessions or simply sitting on their own having a think.
“That’s it, I’m just going to start writing something so I’m not behind“.
Wow. That’s a new mantra right there.
Like most mantras and life lessons, the power is in the simplicity.
There is a real power in planning – or failing to plan – with regards to nearly every aspect of our lives.
Grocery shopping? Don’t even think about wandering in there without a list…or if you’re hungry (I’m still apologising to my wife for the last time that happened).
Completing an essay? Good luck if you haven’t thought about what you are going to do or the order it will be placed in.
Driving to visit your parents this afternoon? Don’t even think about considering what the traffic may be doing. Just go your usual route and enjoy tearing apart your steering wheel and vocal chords.
When we plan for upcoming events or actions we reduce uncertainty**.
Planning helps us take into account possible uncertainties, reduce stress and get that overall feeling of life being a good place.
If we want to get technical (and we secretly love getting technical) we can thank the chemical dopamine for the greatness of planning and goal setting****. Every time we are able to cross an item off a “To Do List” we get a shot of dopamine¹.
Our brain is trained to feed off dopamine as well as seek it out. Goal setting, and planning out the steps to achieve that goal, are simple, natural ways for us to get that natural hit and feel that natural high.
Writing about, and promoting, why planning is important is one thing, but being able to plan effectively is whole other ball park.
I don’t know about you, but if I’m going to invest my time in something I’d prefer to be somewhat prepared.
Whilst studying to be a teacher, we were all taught and expected to use an incredibly simple and powerful way to plan and guide units and projects for our unsuspecting kids.
The fancy, education-speak title for this approach is Backwards Design², Backward by Design or Understanding By Design³.
Backwards Design helps you to not only work out WHAT you want, but HOW you will get there.
In education circles, teachers**, curriculum leaders, principals, deputy principals and system overlords have been frothing at their figurative mouths (and literal in some unfortunate cases) over Backward Design.
Our aim is to get you figuratively frothing too – we’re going to do a quick planning session to give you insight into how simple Backwards Design can be used in any situation.
Let’s find a part of our personal or professional life that is driving you crazy or feels like it is out of control. Work out what it is you want to change or upgrade.
Here’s my current dilemma: My dog is continually eating chocolate, resulting in me doing the odd midnight run to the vet to watch him vomit, sleep for a few hours, then try to eat his vomit (the dog, not me!). This is not good before a full day of teaching.
Now it’s time to keep working backwards to find people, skills or behaviours that could be used to help keep on track and assess our progress. Really consider the little and big successes…that way they can be celebrated as they are achieved AND help us stay focused.
For me, I could speak with a vet and friends with dogs (who aren’t crazy) to get ideas or suggestions. I could also read up on strategies from trustworthy sites… this isn’t 1998 anymore, so ask.com won’t cut it.
Okay, I’ve worked out some resources I could use to help me, but how will I know if I’ve actually stopped the dog eating chocolate?
Well, my main evidence is that the dog is still his usual energetic self, jumping around in the evening…as opposed to the other situation where he simultaneously stares at me while vomiting apologetically.
Yep, that would probably be evidence of eating chocolate.
Finally, think about worthwhile activities or experiences that will help you build up those skills and behaviours to reach your end point.
Remember, the word worthwhile in italics for a reason. Don’t do pointless things…they’ll only keep you busy and not actually help you.
For me, I’ve actually started a pretty simply skill – hanging my gym bag up on a coat rack to reduce temptation for the dog. I also check there isn’t dark chocolate left around our coffee tables for him to help himself while we’re asleep. Oh, and checking the dog is alive each morning.
Consistency and follow through is crucial. Particularly if your goal involves keeping things alive.
The key is to plan and place things in order that will collectively add up to help you reach your end result in the strongest and best way. This is important, otherwise you may have to do it all over again, and I don’t know about you, but I’ve seen enough dog vomit for quite a while.
What’s the end result you’re aiming for?
Well, this is the end of this week’s upgrade…sorry to break it to you. Take some time to share our post with friends, family, the people out of the front of your house or even your lovely local barista.
We love hearing from you all too, so let us know what you think by writing a comment, sending us an email or telling us what you think on our Facebook page!
*No idea what we are talking about? No stress at all! Check out our Further Upgrades and enjoy the our video compilation!
**The tricky part with uncertainty is that no matter what you pretty much can’t have anything certain. Whilst you reduce uncertainty, there is still uncertainty, so things can go pear-shaped regardless of your planning. Hey, at least you reduced uncertainty – imagine if you had never done that!
***Let’s be honest, majority of teachers probably have enough on their plates to get excited over this…well excited enough to write a blog post on it.

Hasbro Star Wars Panel from San Diego Comic Con 2015!
Hasbro just held its Star Wars panel at San Diego Comic Con, and Pete Morrison of Rebels Report and Making Star Wars was there covering it!
So, to recap, we got a look at the painted version of 6″ Black Series Ahsoka, as well as Kanan, Jango Fett, and Tatooine Luke in that line, new ForceFX lightsabers for Darth Vader and Yoda with new electronics, a look at the 3.75″ new Inquisitor from Star Wars Rebels, Revan won the Hasbro Fan’s Choice Poll but we’re also getting a 6″ Sabine Wren, there was some talk about packaging, and a $169.99 26″ First Order TIE Fighter with 6″ First Order Elite TIE Pilot is coming this fall.
That’s a lot of cool stuff, but it’s a little surprising that with less than two months until the launch of Hasbro’s The Force Awakens line with Midnight Madness, we still don’t know what is coming up. It’d be nice if they told us sooner than later so that fans can budget and prepare instead of walking into a store with no game plan at all.
For official images, be sure to check out the Official Star Wars Web site’s live blog of the panel.

We all know winter months can get extremely harsh not to say what happens to the motorcycle batteries. Depending on where you live, it would be better to keep the bike or the battery inside. Usually, batteries do not tend to do well when there are weather fluctuations, especially, when it gets cold. When temperature drops, they can lose much of their capacity over a much shorter period of time. This is true even for the most expensive and advanced maintenance-free technologies. Having in mind the aforementioned, battery storage can be a concern during wintry months.
Did you know the main reason motorcycle batteries don’t meet their expected lifetime is because they are left in a bike outside that has not been used for a long time? Your battery can drain slowly while sitting in your garage, too.
Dead battery is a common consequence of storing it for the cold months. The first sign of ending up with a dead battery is the low sound of the horn. When you blow the horn, you might hear a low intensity sound or a variation in pitches of the sound generated. It is pretty easy to notice such kind of change. You could easily take the battery out for a test, too! It is usually located under the seat or near the petrol tank. As it happens, they often get overlooked. Having a dead battery in really unpleasant especially if it wastes the first spring day.
A trickle charger will be of great help whether you are or aren’t planning on riding your motorcycle for a long period. These chargers are specifically manufactured to charge AGM, Sealed Lead-Acid batteries. They provide a low and slow approach of charging which results in a more thorough and reliable charge for a longer battery life. Another very important benefit of using trickle charger is their ability to prevent battery failure when you’re storing a battery for more than 6 weeks. Trickle chargers use electricity to charge batteries at the same rate as they discharge. We recommend using a “smart trickle charger”. This charger type constantly monitors your battery and when the battery is fully charged, it automatically switches to “float” mode. You can charge a motorcycle battery with a standard charger as well, though you’ll have to keep an eye on the voltage!
Disconnect the battery from the electrical system of the bike – the electrolyte cells should be topped up with distilled water.
Clean the terminals- The terminals should be cleaned to prevent corrosion which can cause problems when starting the motorcycle or ATV.
Check the terminals at least once per month to ensure that the connectors are not corroded.
Regularly inspect your battery for leaks.
The water level should be checked at least once every other week.
Motorcycle batteries should be charged once per week: keeping your battery charged will help you keep your motorcycle in its best shape and you will also be able to ride the first day of warm weather.

Extract of sample "Telecommunication Management In Modern Life"
Download file to see previous pages According to Bluetooth.com, the usual frequency in GHz that Bluetooth devices use is 2.4 GHz. Likewise, Wifi also operates in the same frequency range. However, it is important to emphasize that although both of them use Radio Frequency waves, Wifi can be used to connect more devices such as computers as compared to Bluetooth.
RBOC means Regional Bell Operating Companies. These companies used to be known as RHC’s ( Regional Holding Companies). This change was brought about by an antitrust suit filed by the Department of Justice against the telecommunication giant AT & T.
As a result of the 1984 consent decree, 7 RBOC’s were created out of the initial 22 local Bell Operating Companies. This was the case of United States vs. Western Electric. These 7 RBOC’s were “forbidden from entering manufacturing, long-distance, and other related markets” (Sullivan and Hertz) as published in an article in Berkeley Law Technology Journal.
An Intranet is an internal information system that basically serves the same purpose as the Internet. The main difference is that only the people in an organization can access or post information within the Intranet. An intranet is closed to the world because it requires private identifications and passwords. Intranets usually function to share calendars, documents and to provide a secure forum for discussion and commentary within an organization.

Looking beyond Alberta’s rich deposits of oil sands, China’s state-owned Sinochem Group energy giant is looking to invest in the province’s rich oil and natural gas sector.
Sinochem Group is China’s fourth largest energy firm.
Sinochem Group assistant president Li Pilong, attending the Canada-Asia Energy Cooperation Conference in Calgary stated that Sinochem Group is “more focused” on conventional oil and natural gas, as opposed to oil sands, commenting, “I have a plan to visit a number of oil companies to see whether or not we can work together for a kind of co-operation in the energy field. At this time it’s for general purposes and to explore the potentials where our two countries can work together,” The Calgary Herald reported.
Other Asian firms are concentrating on Alberta’s oil sand resources. Two months ago China National Offshore Oil Corp. agreed to purchase struggling oil sands developer Opti Canada Inc. for $2.1 billion.

These Meatballs Will Have Everyone Coming Back For Seconds! The Sweet And Sour Sauce Is The Best!
Whenever we go to an Asian restaurant, you can bet if there’s a sweet and sour dish (of any kind), that’s what we’ll be ordering. Without fail. There’s something about tart sweetness that we go crazy for, so that’s what we wanted to recreate with this dish. Allow us to introduce you to these tasty, sweet and sour meatballs. We like making extra sauce so we can serve these with rice, but either way, these meatballs are incredibly tender and bursting with flavor…we can guarantee your family will devour them and be asking for more in a matter of minutes – you might as well make extra everything!
Combine beef, breadcrumbs, onion, eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
Using two forks or your hands, mix ingredients together until combined, then begin forming golf ball-sized meatballs.
Transfer meatballs to a large skillet set over medium-high heat and cook them until browned on all sides.
Remove from heat and set aside until ready.
In a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat, combine water, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, mustard, and salt and pepper.
Stir together until combined, then add meatballs and coat in sauce.
Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes, or until sauce has thickened.
Serve immediately, by itself, or with rice or noodles.

Frequently Asked Questions About Zoning Variances — Minneapolis MN Real Estate and Eminent Domain Lawyer | Morphew Law Office, P.L.L.C.
Zoning ordinances help cities and towns manage property development within their borders. Zoning laws help make sure homeowners don’t become next-door neighbors with a restaurant, pawn shop, or other commercial or industrial enterprise.
But sometimes, property owners find that their properties are zoned in ways that make using the properties difficult. In these cases, owners can request an exception to the zoning ordinance. This is called a variance. Here are the most common questions I get from clients about zoning variances and whether or not their particular situation qualifies.
1. Why might I request a variance?
When you want to use your property in a way that your zoning ordinance forbids, it’s time to request a zoning variance. In Minnesota, variances are generally not issued for use. So, it’s unlikely that your city will let you raze that single-family home you bought in your neighborhood and build a shop or restaurant in its place.
However, you are able to request a variance for where and how you build on your property. Owners might request a variance to build a structure that is taller than the ordinance’s height limits allow. Or, a property owner might ask for a variance to build a structure outside of setback and lot line requirements.
2. Who hears my request for a variance?
By Minnesota law, a board of appeals is required to hear your request for a variance. In some small municipalities, the city council or planning commission serves as the board of appeals.
3. How does the board decide whether or not to grant a variance?
The board of appeals must base its decision on three factors. These factors determine whether or not you face “practical difficulties” as a result of the zoning ordinance. First, you must plan to use your property in a reasonable way that’s currently not allowed by the zoning ordinance, such as building too close to your next-door neighbors.
Second, your property must have unique physical aspects that make the variance necessary, such as slope or the presence of wetlands. Third, any changes the variance would produce must stay within the character of your neighborhood. This includes the scale of your structures and in some places, style.
4. Will there be a public hearing?
Minnesota state law doesn’t require a public hearing for zoning variances, but most real estate attorneys recommend it. A public hearing ensures your variance appeal is properly recorded, creating a record to look back on if the appeal does not go in your favor.
Understanding zoning variances and how they work in your city or town can be tricky. If you’re considering requesting a zoning variance, seek the advice of an experienced real estate attorney. Contact Jon Morphew and the Morphew Law Office, PLLC at 612-790-9189 today for a free consultation.

On our website you will find a lot of ideas for interior design, and in this particular article we will talk about design your deck online for free. Thanks to the presence of the Internet in our lives, we can find a lot of ideas for deck design with the help of such sites as Pinterest, Houzz and others. We decided to save you some time and picked up interesting design your deck online for free options, which are now in the trend. And so let us get started!
On the Internet you can find deck design software, which will help you create your own unique project. Some of these programs have advanced functionality that not only helps you to create design your deck online for free, but also uses the cost calculator to estimate the cost of the project. Do not count only on the calculator, so it is worth finding 5-10 sites that sell tools and parts for deck.
A DIY deck project costs $ 10 to $ 25 per square foot. The price depends on the selected materials, as well as on the complexity of design your deck online for free. After you have summed all the expenses, add 10% from above, since the rule is that the final cost of the project is always higher than the original one.
The basic rule is that design your deck online for free must match the design of your house. Your project should complement the beauty of your home, and not be a foreign element. Do not be afraid to play with the color deck, the wood that will lie at its base is easily painted, so you can always make changes along the way. Some composite materials can also be stained, and think about mixing and match. Also, you can bring a lot of your ideas to design your deck online for free – it can be pots of flowers, free-standing furniture and so on.

Kickstarter has officially launched its Japan chapter last month (September 2017). It’s the first major foreign crowdfunding platform entering Japan and it is creating a big hype among Japanese entrepreneurs and creators.
To be clear, crowdfunding is not new to Japan.
The first Japanese crowdfunding service was launched in 2001 and it has grown strongly since 2011. The market size of Reward-based crowdfunding has expanded three times in past two years: from 2.0 billion yen in 2014 to 6 billion yen in 2016. It is now estimated to be 8 billion in 2017.
According to Yano Research Institute, there are more than 170 crowdfunding operators in Japan: Operators such as Makuake and Campfire are the leaders in the Reward-based crowdfunding, attracting various stakeholders.
So, what’s new about Kickstarter entering Japan?
Well, in short, now Japanese creators can create a global project using Kickstarter directly from Japan. Yes, for years, progressive Japanese creators have been using Kickstarter and Indiegogo for their global campaign. But it was not a direct transaction and it required a complicated process. Now you can do so directly in a simple manner.
Kickstarter has its own requirement for project creation. One of the key requirements is the location of the founder. In order to create a project in Kickstarter, you have to be a permanent resident in the eligible countries* having an address, a bank account, and government-issued ID.
As of September 30, 2017, US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Denmark, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Hong Kong, Singapore, Mexico, and Japan.
Until September 2017, Japan was not included in the list. Therefore, if any creator wants to create a project in Kickstarter, he/she had to find someone to represent him/her, in order to create a project.
Service providers exist but it takes hefty fees. Unless you have a trusted partner in the US or in other eligible countries, creating a project through Kickstarter was not for everyone in Japan.
However, now anyone can create a project directly from Japan using its own address, a bank account, and national ID.
Another benefit of Kickstarter Japan is that it’s now compatible with Japanese. For most Japanese creators, language has been always an issue. Having able to apply a project in Japanese makes it easier for Japanese creator to challenge the global crowdfunding campaign.
Also, it is much convenient for Japanese backers as they can read the campaign page in Japanese. So you will have a chance to expand your campaign to the broader audience in Japan. Creators have a better chance to reach potential global backers while securing their minimum support from Japanese.
There are, however, critical challenges still remain for Japanese creators. Let me outline the current barriers I see in using a global crowdfunding platform from Japan.
First, it is quite difficult for Japanese to reach out to potential backers abroad.
As a nature of crowdfunding, you need to acquire a group of people who will support and back your project. Crowdfunding is quite different from putting a product on an e-commerce platform. You need to organize a campaign to support your project, and it is likely to be developed by your core network: usually your relatives, friends and local networks. You need a group of people who are willing to share and spread your campaign so that it will be noticed.
No matter how your product is unique or innovative, it’s quite difficult to outstand among countless new ideas and design created every day. But most Japanese do not have a network abroad. Even Japanese living abroad are not making a social network with foreigners. They tend to close their relationship with people speaking and writing in Japanese. This is a huge disadvantage for Japanese creators to conduct global crowdfunding.
Secondary, the language will continue to be their major obstacle. Although the application process became easy, most of the communication to reach out global backers have to be in English: making a campaign page, producing a promotion film, issuing press releases, answering questions from the potential backers, and posting updates and information for the backers needs to be done in English. It’s too much for non-English speaking Japanese.
Finally, transportation costs for the rewards could be an issue. While it is easy to send software products online, it is costly and cumbersome to send hardware products abroad through actual shipping. Assuming large percentage of the backers in Kickstarters resides in the US, the costs of transportation, customs duties and any related tax for products from Japan could be a disadvantage.
As in any business, a challenge is a seed of opportunity. If you are a foreigner living in Japan or an entrepreneur living abroad, this change in crowdfunding ecosystem in Japan may give you a chance to develop a new business.
Yes, there are already many professionals in Japan who support translation in English and so-called crowdfunding promotion services helping marketing efforts. They claim they can spread the words through tens of thousands of people in their network. Some are making a good business out of it.
The change in crowdfunding ecosystem in Japan is not only for Japanese. Even you are a foreigner, if you have an address, a banking account, and government-issued ID, you are now eligible to create your own project from Japan. This is a new opportunity open for foreigners coming from a country not listed on Kickstarter’s list.
For an example, if you are from India, Bangladesh, or Nepal, you are basically not eligible to apply in your country. But if you have an address, a bank account, and government-ID in Japan, you can now create your own project from Japan.
Most likely, you have a network of your friends and relatives in the US and other countries. They could be your potential backers to support your campaign. This is an advantage that not many Japanese have.
The product doesn’t necessarily need to be made in Japan. You can involve people around the world, including your own country.
You can collaborate with a Japanese creator to enter the Japanese market as well as challenging the global market.
There will be more incentive for Japanese creators to work with foreign partners. This collaboration may benefit both sides. The Japanese creator will have a support they need to extend the campaign globally and the foreign founder will have a chance to enter the Japanese market. There will be a common interest to work together.
The Japanese market for crowdfunding has been growing at a significant pace for the past 5 years. It’ s estimated that reward-based crowdfunding market will reach 8 billion yen (about US$ 72 million) in 2017. It is still a small volume compared to the global market size of US$ 2.6 billion in 2016, but there is a great potential to grow further as people are getting more familiar.
Collaboration can be formed in various ways. You can form a joint project as a co-founder with a Japanese creator. Or you may team up with Japanese factories and craftsmen who are able to produce products of your own idea and design.
There are already many successful campaigns, which work on localization of Japanese products and contents. And it doesn’t have to be manga or anime. You may find a new application of traditional craftsman’s skill to match with the taste and usability in your target area.
If you find a unique product in Japan that you want to customize and introduce to the world, you may propose to the producer to seek the market through Kickstarter. In general, they are quite conservative to do something new and avoid working directly with foreigners, but there are progressive ones as well.
One of the critical risks of crowdfunding is the fulfillment of the rewards. We’ve heard so many stories of failing production. Making a prototype is one thing but producing thousands of pieces and beyond requires different process and arrangements.
The advantage you have living or doing business in Japan, especially in Tokyo metropolitan area, is a geographic closeness to one of the most advanced manufacturing cluster in the world.
Arranging a quality supply chain for any product can be very difficult and complicated if you are away from the factories. Yes, you may arrange production in China at a cheaper cost, but when you think of total costs and risks of your operation, you may save time and money with the factories nearby. And some of these factories have world-class skill and technologies.
This is a new field for business in Japan. I believe we will see more creative ideas using crowdfunding as a tool to develop new business.
Tokyo Fabhub will start its own project on Kickstarter, working jointly with a Japanese creator. As stated above, a global crowdfunding campaign has so many challenges for Japanese entrepreneurs and creators. We will use this opportunity to identify the actual issues and try to find a solution to overcome the challenges: hopefully opening doors to encourage more Japanese creators and entrepreneurs to seek the global market.
And this will not happen without collaboration with foreign entrepreneurs and people working for the business in Japan. We will share the progress with you.
In Japan, crowdfunding has become a growing business since 2011. According to Yano Research Institute, in Japan, there are more than 170 organizations providing crowdfunding service. The total market size (total amount of newly funded projects) in Japan was 74.5 billion yen (≒US$670 million) in 2016, a 96.6 percent increase from the previous year, and it is estimated to become 109 billion yen (≒US$ 990 million) in 2017.
Lending-based crowdfunding consists more than 90 percent of the total market while Reward base crowdfunding consists only 8.4%.
However, it is also growing steadily with more than 500,000 backers supporting 6.2 billion yen in 2016. The amount is estimated to be 8 billion yen in 2017. In another word, the Japanese market in Reward-based crowdfunding has around 10% share of the global market (US$2.6 billion in 2015).
Tokyo Fabhub is a network of more than 100 factories in Tokyo, Japan. We facilitate international collaboration for business development in Japan and beyond in manufacturing.

Please fill the below software form and get back if fascinated and you can be glad of knowing a loan lender like Mrs. Sandra Morris.
Article 14 of the Basel Conference on the trans-boundary movement of hazardous waste offers for the establishment of regional facilities. English speaking African countries determined to establish a Basel Conference Regional Center (BCRC) and so they named it the Africa Institute for Environmentally Sound Management of Hazardous and Other Wastes. After an in depth consultative process and a feasibility study, it was determined that the Africa Institute might be primarily based in Pretoria, South Africa.

4 What Are the Limits of Teacher-Directed Instruction?
This term refers to an instructional approach in which all students learn material to an identical, high level, even if some students require more time than others to do so (Gentile, 2004). In mastery learning the teacher directs learning, though sometimes only in the indirect sense of finding, writing, and orchestrating specific modules or units for students to learn. In one typical mastery learning program, the teacher introduces a few new concepts or topics through a brief lecture or teacher-led demonstration. Then she might give an ungraded assignment or test immediately in order to assess how well students have learned the material, and which children still need help with it. The students who have already learned the unit are given enrichment activities. Those needing more help are provided with individual tutoring or with additional self-guiding materials that clarify the initial content; they work until they have in fact mastered the content (hence the name mastery learning). At that point students take another test or do another assignment to show that they have in fact learned the material to the expected, high standard. When the system is working well, therefore, all students can in principle end up with the highest scores or grades, although some usually take longer to do so than others.
As you might suspect, mastery learning poses two challenges. The first is ethical: is it really fair to give enrichment only to faster students and remediation only to slower students? This practice could deteriorate into continually rewarding the fast with interesting enrichment material, while continually punishing the slow with repetitious material. In using the approach, therefore, it is important to make all materials interesting, whether enrichment or remedial. It is also important to make sure that the basic learning goals of each unit are truly important—even crucial—for everyone to learn, so that even slower individuals spend their time well.
The other challenge of mastery learning is more practical: the approach makes strong demands for detailed, highly organized curriculum. If the approach is to work, the teacher must either find such a curriculum, write one herself, or assemble a suitable mixture of published and self-authored materials. However it is created, the end result has be a program filled with small units of study as well as ample enrichment and remedial materials. Sometimes these practical requirements can be challenging to provide. But not always; some subjects (like mathematics) lend themselves to detailed, sequential organization especially well. In many cases, too, commercial publishers have produced curricula already organized for use as a mastery learning program (Fox, 2004).
Sometimes this term serves as a synonym for teacher-directed instruction, but more often direct instruction refers to a relatively scripted version of mastery learning, meaning that it not only organizes the curriculum into small modules or units, but it also dictates how teachers should teach, including even the words they should speak while teaching (Adams & Engelmann, 1996; Magliaro, Lockee, & Burton, 2005). The organization and teaching scripts are based on a mix of ideas from behaviorism and cognitive theories of learning. In keeping with behaviorism, for example, the teacher is supposed to praise students immediately and explicitly when they give a correct answer. In keeping with cognitive theory, on the other hand, she is supposed to state learning objectives in advance of teaching them (providing a sort of mini-advance organizer), and provide frequent reviews of materials and checks on how well students are learning. The teacher is also supposed to introduce material in small, logical steps, giving individuals plenty of time to practice.
Direct instruction programs share one of the challenges of other mastery learning programs: because they hold all students to the same high standard of achievement, they must deal with differences in how long students require to reach the standard. But direct instruction has another challenge of its own. Such programs often rely on small-group interaction more heavily than do other mastery learning programs, and use self-guiding materials comparatively less. The good news about this difference is that direct instruction works especially well with younger students (especially kindergarten through third-grade), who may have limited literacy skills. The challenge is that heavy use of face-to-face group interaction makes it impractical to use direct instruction with an entire class, or for the entire school day. Nevertheless, within these limits, research has found direct instruction to be very effective in teaching basic skills such as early reading and arithmetic (Adams & Engelmann, 1996).
Many teacher-directed strategies have been combined by Madeline Hunter into a single, relatively comprehensive approach that she calls mastery teaching (not to be confused with the related term mastery learning) or the effective teaching model (M. Hunter, 1982; R. Hunter, 2004). Important features of the model are summarized in Table 8-X. As you can see, its features span all phases of contact with students—before, during, and after lessons or activities.
What happens before a lesson actually begins? Like many other forms of teacher-directed instruction, the effective teaching model requires curricula and learning goals that are tightly organized and inter-related, yet divisible into small parts, ideas, or skills. In teaching about photosynthesis, for example, the teacher (or at least her curriculum) needs to identify the basic elements that contribute to this process, and how they relate to each other. With photosynthesis, the elements include the sun, plants, animals, chlorophyll, oxygen produced by plants and consumed by animals, and carbon dioxide that produced by animals and consumed by plants. The roles of these elements also need to be identified and expressed at a level appropriate for the students. With advanced science students, oxygen, chlorophyll, and carbon dioxide may be expressed as part of a complex chemical reaction; with first-grade students, though, they may be expressed simply as parts of a process akin to breathing, called respiration.
Once this analysis of the curriculum has been done, teachers using the effective teaching model make the most of the lesson time by creating an anticipatory set, which is an activity that focuses or orients the attention of students to the upcoming content. Creating an anticipatory set may consist, for example, of posing one or more questions drawing on students’ everyday knowledge or on knowledge of prior lessons. In teaching about differences between fruits and vegetables, the teacher could start by asking, “If you are making a salad strictly of fruit, which of these would be OK to use: apple, tomato, cucumber, or orange?” (Answer: all of them!) As the lesson proceeds, information needs to be offered in short, logical pieces, using language as familiar as possible to the students. Examples should be plentiful and varied: if the purpose is to define and distinguish fruits and vegetables, for example, then defining features should be presented singly or at most just a few at a time, with several clear-cut examples presented of each feature. Sometimes models or analogies also help in explaining examples, and can be used. A teacher can say, “Think of a fruit as a sort of ‘decoration’ on the plant, because if you pick it, the plant will go on living.” Models can also mislead students, however, if they are not used thoughtfully, since they may contain features that differ from the original concepts. In likening a fruit to a decoration, for example, students may overlook the essential role of fruit in plant reproduction, or think that lettuce qualifies as a fruit, since picking a few lettuce leaves does not usually kill a lettuce plant.
As a lesson draws to a close, the teacher arranges students to engage in further independent practice. The point of this practice is not primarily to explore new material or ideas, but to consolidate or strengthen the recent learning. At the end of a lesson about long division, for example, the teacher can make a transition to independent practice by introducing a set of additional problems similar to the ones she explained during the lesson. After working one or two with the students, she can turn the rest of the task over to the students to practice on their own. But note a proviso. For students to be fully focused and motivated, such practice has to be organized into small, meaningful amounts and students’ understanding has be checked by the teacher frequently. Even when students need a lot of practice, therefore, a long set of practice problems needs to be broken up initially into small subsets of problems, and either written or oral feedback offered in between subsets.
What Are the Limits of Teacher-Directed Instruction?
Whatever the grade level, most of the subjects usually taught in schools have at least some features or parts that benefit from direct instruction. Even activities or skills intended to foster creativity can benefit from a direct approach at certain times: learning to draw, paint, or write a poem, for example, requires learning techniques that may be easier to learn if presented sequentially in relatively small units. Research supports the usefulness of teacher-directed instruction, when it is designed well and implemented as intended, for a variety of educational contexts (Rosenshine & Mesister,1995; Good & Brophy, 2004), and teachers themselves tend to support the approach in principle (Demant & Yates, 2003).
But there are limits to its usefulness. Some are the practical ones that we have pointed out already. Teacher-directed instruction, whatever the form, requires a well-organized curriculum, or at least requires well-organized units of instruction, in advance of when students are to learn. Such curricula or units may not always be available, and it may not always be realistic to expect busy teachers to devise their own. Other limits of teacher direction, however, have more to do with the very nature of learning. Some critics argue, for example, that organizing material on behalf of students encourages students to be passive—an ironic, but clearly undesirable side effect (Kohn, 2000, 2006). According to this criticism, the mere fact that a curriculum or unit of study is constructed by a teacher (or by a curriculum writer) implies to some students that they should not seek information actively on their own, but wait for it to arrive from elsewhere. In support of this argument, critics point to the fact that teacher-directed instructional approaches sometimes contradict their own premises by including tasks requiring students to do a bit of conceptual organization of their own. This happens, for example, when a Mastery Learning program provides enrichment material to faster students to work on independently; in that case the teacher may be involved in the enrichment activities only minimally.
Considerations like these have led to additional instructional approaches that are rely more explicitly on students themselves to seek and organize their own learning. In the next section of Chapter 8, we discuss some of these options. As you will see, student-centered models of learning do tend to solve certain problems of teacher-directed instruction, but they also can have problems of their own.

Pictures of a Language? New Way to Look at English!
“Draw me a picture” the VP of TD Bank asked me as I tried to explain to her the difference between Written and Spoken English and why we are so unsuccessful teaching pronunciation. That not-so-simple request changed my life and how I looked at languages. Seeing how English works has changed the way learners understand English and makes English easier to teach and learn.
Last but not least, the new Venn Language Series with the first three images in a comprehensive collection that visually compares English to all other major languages starting with Spanish, French and Arabic.

The threat of the worst drought to grip the UK in more than 30 years has already fed through to worried swimming pool and hot tub owners.
The official message to customers who have been inundating pool builders, retail outlets and hot tub suppliers is that until there is a drought order any hosepipe bans do not include hot tubs in particular.
If a drought order comes into effect, the south east of England is the most likely area then the implications for the industry are likely to accelerate.
After an emergency drought summit at which huge stretches of the south east were declared officially in drought with many other areas at risk, Caroline Spelman, secretary of state for the environment warned that hosepipe bans are "very likely" and called on individuals to try to cut their wastage of water.
She warned that drought could be "the new norm" for the UK, and those widespread changes in behaviour would be needed to cope. She called on individuals to take more responsibility for their own water usage. Even seemingly simple measures such as people turning off the taps while brushing their teeth or taking shorter showers can have an effect.
Swimming pool companies have started to look at rainwater harvesting systems for both new and existing customers and at the possibility of underground water tanks fitted as standard.
"I think it’s a market opportunity somewhere," one pool supplier told spn (Swimming Pool News).
But it is hot tub customers who seem most concerned. The pool industry is being urged to do some research before the full impact becomes a real threat later in the summer. The first ban is likely to be on filling pools.
There is already a call for SPATA and BISHTA, the two trade associations to start getting a message out to customers about what the implications of a drought might be and any options available.

Tuesday's Wall Street Journal features an Op-ed by the CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt, and the CEO of Verizon, Ivan Seidenberg, about the importance of high-speed Internet access.
It is mostly boring; until it gets to the punchline and tells us that government should have as little role as possible in delivering broadband to America. Just like government should stay out of banking regulation, I take it?
The piece starts well, talking about how broadband is good for America. It is nice to see prominent business leaders elevating that message in the Journal. The second point is dumb and disingenuous for a number of reasons, some of which illuminate the Orwellian position of big corporations in Washington.
Pretty much everyone agrees with these two guys that broadband Internet access is an important driver for economic growth and social opportunity. And we all see that digital divides are still a problem in America: rural and urban, rich and poor. We are falling behind the industrialized world in broadband infrastructure, as they build super-fast, nationwide networks, and we struggle to deliver the same quality even to our biggest cities. And when we do have good super-fast broadband, it is super-expensive -- 2 to 10 times more costly than overseas.
That's why Congress ordered the Federal Communications Commission to produce a National Broadband Plan (just published this month) to chart a course towards world-class, affordable internet for all Americans: team Obama's plan to catch up with the globe's leading broadband nations, and kickstart our economic engines into overdrive. The CEO Op-ed applauds the FCC's Plan. They agree with the FCC that broadband should be everywhere and enhancing all aspects of our lives. And, they say it should be built to the world leading standards that (not incidentally) both of these companies have built into their business plans.
"The Internet has thrived in an environment of minimal regulation. While our two companies don't agree on every issue, we do agree generally as a matter of policy that the framework of minimal government involvement should continue.
The FCC underscores the importance of creating the right climate for private investment and market-driven innovation to advance broadband. That's the right approach and why we are encouraged to see the FCC's plan."
Let me translate their rhetoric: The FCC's plan is great -- as long as they don't try to implement it. Or rather, as long as they don't do anything that doesn't fit within Verizon and Google's idea of "minimal government involvement." It's no accident that the CEOs don't try to explain what they mean. If they did, they would step directly into a big, steaming pile of hypocrisy.
Most agree that the market is the preferred mechanism for achieving the goals of the nation in digital technology and infrastructure. If the market is working, government plays cheerleader.
But, hello, the whole reason the Congress mandated a National Broadband Plan from the FCC is because the market isn't working; we're slipping perilously behind the rest of the world.
The objectives set out in the plan, all of which are applauded by these companies -- world-class fiber networks, the expansion of broadband for universal availability and adoption, and the extension of broadband into every aspect of our lives -- aren't being delivered without government action.
So to recap the CEOs' position: We need a Plan and government action, so long as it doesn't constitute government involvement in their business.
Let's unpack this a bit more. Both CEOs love the idea of getting world-class, super-fast fiber-optic broadband networks to Americans. They mention that Google has only a pilot project to do this. Verizon is top of the heap in the telecom world -- deploying fiber to metro areas in the Northeast. But meanwhile, Verizon has wound down investment in fiber after pushing it out in the most lucrative neighborhoods.
Verizon inconveniently skipped over low-income Baltimore altogether. A couple of years ago, they decided all of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine were not favorable markets for them. They sold their less profitable networks in these states to FairPoint -- a company now in bankruptcy delivering 3rd world quality broadband. Right now, Verizon is looking to dump its networks in 14 other states. So, what about those 17 states? What about everyone else in the country who doesn't live between (suburban) Boston and Washington D.C.? Do they not deserve to have a world-class infrastructure? How will we close that digital divide? Well, the market isn't doing it, and everywhere else in the world they have done it, it has taken proactive government involvement.
"Minimal Government Regulation" makes for a good CEO bumper sticker. But it is a complete disconnect as they praise heaped on the National Broadband Plan, with its hundreds of recommendations for productive intervention in various sectors of the broadband market.
Like most big companies, Google and Verizon hate regulation and government involvement in business when it limits bad behavior and anti-competitive activity. But they absolutely love it when it helps them. In fact, both of these companies maintain small armies of lobbyists to ply the government for all the regulations that they want, even as they fight off all the regulations they don't want.
Classic corporate hypocrisy: hate government except when you love it. Anyone paying attention has seen these erstwhile government teetotalers swigging from the flask all the time. Also, let's remember that these companies are in aggressive opposition to one another on some big policy issues that matter enormously to American consumers.
Here's a short list of stuff Google wants from their "minimal government involvement."
Google would like government to mandate the installation of broadband conduit in every public construction project.
Google would like stronger regulations in the market for commercial broadband services sold to big companies and cell phone towers by...you guessed it...Verizon.
Google would like government to authorize and offer municipal broadband networks.
Google strongly supports Network Neutrality rules.
Google argued for open market conditions on spectrum licenses and got in a bidding war with Verizon to get them.
Google has also argued for rules that set aside spectrum for open use by innovators.
Google wants new rules for cable set-top boxes.
Google supports and opposes different aspects of copyright and patent law to support and protect their business.
Google, like most technology companies, argues for the expansion of a visa program for tech-savvy internationals. And the list goes on.
And Verizon's wish list for "minimal government involvement" is just as long.
Verizon needed to take advantage of a shady tax loophole in order to sell off all of their rural networks to smaller companies.
Verizon wants major changes to government programs that subsidize telephone networks and set prices for the exchange of telephone calls between companies.
Verizon wants to set new, lower rates for leasing telephone poles and public land for their wires.
Verizon wants protection from interference on their spectrum licenses.
Verizon wants several different rules allowing them to get access to cable programming for their cable TV systems.
Verizon wants different rules about how local governments oversee their cable networks.
Verizon wants various and sundry regulations to apply to Internet companies like...Google.
Let me be clear: many of the things these companies argue for are good ideas (some of them are really bad ideas). And they are certainly not in kumbaya agreement. The point is that government is inherently and deeply involved in these markets in all kinds of ways; many of them actively desired by the very same companies that demonize government involvement. It's silly, and we ought to end the charade.
And finally, many in Washington may read this as a secret coded message that Google is abandoning its commitment to Network Neutrality and joining Verizon in opposition to rules guaranteeing an open Internet. I don't believe that is true -- and I hope never to see such rank hypocrisy.
But in the meantime, we should be glad Messers Schmidt and Seidenberg like broadband. And we should be honest that they actually like government too. Without government involvement, the goals they laud will not be reached, and more Americans will be left on the wrong side of the digital divide. And as much as they might like to deny it, both of these companies want and need government to help them succeed.

Terrorist attacks in Paris, Gatwick Airport evacuated and gloomy weather….what a dismal day!
That’s enough negativity for anyone, so on to the positives….we have progress!!
9:30am this morning I was up and at No.27 to start work on the plot before the downpour came.
Within an 1hr 30mins we managed to put a strimmer through all the grass and mark out a path and sections using some large sticks we found on the roof of the shed. I love the idea/look of having path going straight from the gate to the shed, and think it will look lovely once all the sections are dug over and weeded.
No.27 looks so much better and happier already!
The rain started hitting hard and I had other jobs to do so that was enough for today.
Next job…lunch and shopping at the Garden Centre. Fuelled my cold with chicken and vegetable soup, bought a rake so I can collect up all the cuttings tomorrow morning and picked my first pair of wellingtons. I love them and I got a free pair of fleece lined boot sox!
I’m off now to finish my cup of tea and read the latest edition of Grow your own magazine.
Thank you very much, luckily I have a friend helping me get it ready in exchange for half the plot 😊 It definitely looks less daunting now, lots of slowly forking it over and weeding next.
Thank you for visiting my blog, I am glad you enjoyed my post and I look forward to reading yours.
Wow you’ve made more progress in one morning than I did in three months when i took over our derelict site. Congratulations!!
Digging my plot keeps me super fit so I think you’re probably right on the gym membership! My mum’s 71 and lost loads of weight helping me out up there. Sunday is my one lie in of the week, so no 9am return to the plot today.

So far, activity remains subdued. Since 2007, when banks struck deals worth €207 billion, the only bump in deal activity came in 2008, as governments began injecting €322 billion of public capital1 1. Up to the end of 2011—not including guarantees—in the form of asset-relief interventions and other liquidity measures. to save vulnerable financial institutions. Deal volume hit €67 billion in 2012, a modest increase from the low levels of 2010 and 2011, and although 2013 so far has been slow, with around €28 billion in deal value, what activity there has been may offer a glimpse of what’s to come and who will be involved.
When activity does pick up, acquisitions by non-European banks are likely to be an inevitable part of the sector’s restructuring. More than 162 2. As of June 30, 2013. of the top 20 global banks are non-European; most of them are better capitalized and trade at higher multiples than their European counterparts—for whom the capital needed to shore up the sector is likely out of reach. That puts non-European banks in a strong position to snap up some assets that are still priced at book value3 3. The Datastream European banking index is currently trading at a price-to-book value of 0.97. as well as others, such as those in retail banking, which at this writing are trading at very low valuations and could offer potentially outsize returns.

Theresa Spielman Czcinski began creating paper flowers in her mother’s kitchen on Field Street in Bristol in 1945 – first using crepe paper then wood fiber flowers. Theresa attended the Elise Cutler’s School of Floristry where she learned how to create real floral arrangements and obtained her General Course Certification for the designing and color combination work of floral arrangement in 1946. She continued to hone her craft while working for Erikson’s Florist in Bristol where she gained knowledge about custom floral arrangements for all occasions and was introduced to the Flower District in New York City for ordering plastic flowers needed to create the custom arrangements for the business.
The first business card for the Artificial Flower Shop when Theresa opened the shop at the Lake Avenue location.
After marrying and starting a family in the early 1950s, Theresa with the support and help of her husband, built The Artificial Flower Shop next door to their home on Lake Avenue where the business continues to operate today – adding on to the original building three times over the years to expand the business to include DIY craft supplies, candles, holiday-themed supplies, handmade dolls, and canvas bags.
Today, Theresa at the age of 93 still runs the shop along with her daughters, Carol Atwood, Terry Hebert, and Dawn Pinkowish. This women, family-owned business continues the shop’s tradition of creating quality silk and dried flower floral bouquets and arrangements for the home, office, funerals, weddings or any other memorable occasion. The bouquets and arrangements are beautifully crafted and everlasting – each one custom made for their customers’ unique needs and tastes.
The first dollar that Theresa earned when she opened the shop at Lake Avenue.
Now that spring is here, visit Theresa and her daughters at The Artificial Flower Shop, located at 246 Lake Avenue for all your spring and summer event floral arrangement needs.

help out during a meal it seemed to taste better, or if it was something we had never eaten before we were not afraid to try it. Maybe it was because we were proud of our wonderful concoctions or “experiments” as my mom still says, or because of the connection between us and our parents as we prepared our meals.
Cooking is a wonderful way to teach, entertain, and connect with your children. Hopefully some of these recipes or suggestions will be able to make food fun for your children. They are very simple, delicious and can be changed to suit your family.
For my first tutorial, we will start with Yogurt. I love yogurt! You can use it in so many different ways, and it’s a great substitute for mayo or sour cream. Also now that the weather is getting warmer it’s a great no cook snack . This is a good alternative to store bought, what the heck is in this? Snacks. it’s a good way of getting the kids to try new fruits and vegetables, by dipping them into the flavored yogurt.
A very easy way to make a large batch of your own no fuss yogurt. This is great for large families, or when you have a party or get-together, and if you’re a yogurt freak like me. It will take a while but its easy and a great science project/activity for the kiddies.
Mix the milk and yogurt in a large cooking pot and let it boil for a couple minutes. Let it cool for about 10 minutes, then pour it in to cake pan, or fill up 2 quart canning jars. Heat your oven to 100 degrees and leave the mixture in it over night. It should take about 10-12 hrs. When you wake up you should have a nice batch of yogurt. Put it on the refrigerator for about 8 hr or until its nice and cold. Then your ready to flavor your yogurt!
For a sweet treat you can flavor your yogurt with maple syrup, brown sugar or your choice of sweetener.
Slice any of you favorite fruit ( I used strawberries) and put them at the bottom of your cup and pour you yogurt over them. You can use whatever fruit that is in season, I like any kind of berries, peaches , bananas and apples. This is also great frozen. Pour it in small cups put a Popsicle stick in the middle and freeze. When they are nice and frozen take them out and let them sit for a minute and they will slide out easily.
For a nice veggie dip here are three simple and yummy suggestions.
1.Take 1 avocado 2 cups of plain yogurt and put in blender. Use salt and pepper to taste and viola! Dip.
2. Take a small bunch of dill and chop it into 2 cups of yogurt , squeeze one lime or lemon into it. Use salt to taste and your done!
3. Chop cilantro, tomato, cucumber and onions (optional) and add to 3 cups of yogurt. Squeeze 1 lime into it and salt and pepper to taste and you are done!
You can also use these dips for crackers, pretzels , pita bread or in a sandwich. Some of my favorite veggies to dip are asparagus, snow peas, red bell peppers celery, and carrots with a black olive on the tip.
Thanks and have a great time in the kitchen. I would love to see what you come up with, or if you have more ideas!
fun for mama, good for mama . . .
A fallen tree branch with bark, some sandpaper, twig, leaf. I would bet these are common things that can be found in most back yards or woods. In as little as ½ an hour you and your kiddo can create a boat or other natural toy to spark your child’s imagination.
*instills value in what they create.
*shares an awareness of what and where the materials come from that they are creating with, and the long term affect of when it is done- heirloom but also naturally sustainable.
*reduces purchasing pre-made from unknown sources, and encourages a DIY lifestyle.
Now that some beautiful weather is here, take a nature walk and see what you can find along the way whether it be a twig, acorn, rock and see what you can create. One of the things I love about being on the Natural Kids Team is the amazing natural children’s items that are made, but also the variety of kits and other items that encourage us to turn off the TV, get out the craft supplies and create something that is so simple yet so powerful for our children’s imaginations. The fun part for me is also when it is time to give a gift we head down to the art table and make something together instead of shopping.
Have fun crafting! And check this oldie but goodie book that I was gifted to discover as a child with my aunt, The Best of Making Things by Anne Wiseman.

Many visitors to Melbourne often miss out visiting beautiful Mt Buller. This is indeed one of the most picturesque hilly destinations that offer a snow-filled wonderland for winter-time fun.
The Alpine resorts attract avid skiers and families for some winter-time fun every year. The resorts offer excellent activities for guests of all ages; with skiing, snowboarding and snow shoeing, the best winter-time activities. The area offers a number of alpine resorts for all guests to enjoy their stay – or you can even just spend the day on a day trip or a bus tour.
Guests can also visit here in summer and spring for scenic wildflower trails and wildlife watching. The trails will take you on a scenic journey that offers endless and picturesque views of the mountain ranges, lush forested areas and distant towns.
Outdoor activity lovers will surely find Mt Buller very interesting. The place has become a popular mountain biking spot and with endless trails to explore, you’ll never be bored. The slopes of both Mt Buller and Mt Stirling offer endless mountain biking opportunities. The hills are huge and so do their trails.
The climate in the Mt Buller area is typically colder. So while the whole state experiences hot and humid temperatures, Mt Buller stays quite pleasant.
Visitors from Melbourne will be happy to know that Mt Buller is just 3 hrs drive from the city – an easily accessible day trip by car or a ski bus tour package.
Save On Mt Buller Prices With Save up to 50% on all tickets!
I have attached a link here to a fabulous Mt. Buller day trip from Melbourne.
This tour includes a full day tour from Melbourne City, entry to Mt. Buller Resort and expert advice on various kinds of snow activities.
Enjoy your trip to Mt. Bulla!

During 24 days and nights we are going to present you with an unique song, mix or a recording previously never released, with artist related or loved by Lamour Records. Everything is free for download and if this calendar strikes any resemblance with X-mas calendars, it’s all just an imaginary coincidence.
Timiderna is a new collaboration between a Cocker Jack and a Golden Retriever. Their SubDub sound heavily draws on their frenetic horticultural engagements and, more importantly, the work of Moritz Von Oswald in the nineties.
The soundtrack for a movie that does not exist. Feels like accepting the state/change of the world. Lot’s of Moog Minitaur, Volca Beats, an electric piano and sequenced filter fx. Alpha Mound is the recording project of Joakim Westlund from Sandviken.
Plasma Fuse is an electronica band that has grown out of the ground surrounding, industrial metal scene, but have replaced the guitars to synths and samplers. Plasma Fuse is also born out of interest in space, robots and the electronic world we live in. Members: Ronny Rasmusson, Erika Teljing & Erling Persson.
Lehnberg – Synths & drum machines.
Olle Oljud – Objects & noise devices.
Slim Vic – Turntables & effects.
Jan Liljekvist – Swedish composer and musician (violin, guitar, flute, percussion, live electronics etc). Makes music in several genres: rock, jazz, for dance performance, theatre, radio theatre, short movies, art installations etc. Mostly active in jazz/rock/poetry project Black Baker (blackbaker.se) “Im Stockhaus Meines Vaters” is the prelude to the next track, “Karlheinz 57 Varieties”, which is going to be presented in the BWLM later in december.Jan Liljekvist aka Dr. Jayne Insane released the noise vinyl ‘Anti Art alliance’ on Lamour 2014, check it out!
On Morphogenesis PRO424 let´s the ambient tunes and structures take the lead position and the sounds get a complex krautish feeling. Like a foggy morning in Berlin’s outskirts before the sun has gone up PRO424 released his debut album ‘Immune‘ 2015 on Lamour.
This song was featured as an instrumental version of the Slim Vic debut album Brain Mash released in 2014. Here we hear the original song with samples from Theodore M. Edison, son of Thomas A. Edison, which was recorded in 1970. Discussion on Edison’s “Monoid” theory.
From the deep forest of Värmland – close to Lake Vänern, Stenbit search for the perfect sound. A sound that slowly changes over time and becomes something new out of old. Stenbits latest work is music and ambient soundscapes for the exhibition ”Det dolda arvet” at Värmlands Museum.
Clora is the acronym that Christoffer Reichenberg paints sounds of the world and experiments with music. The “Alpen” is from an ongoing project without end date with the name “place” where different places are sounded from a memory or feeling. Clora has previously released a cassette on Zeon Light and on the way is a debut album at Pomperipossa Records.
Llarks is an ambient music project led by guitarist & multi-instrumentalist musician C.Jeely from Birmingham, AL.
His music uses guitar, piano, trumpet, laptop and tape manipulation to create multilayered melodic compositions.
The accompanying photo was taken by the artist.
Thanks for listening. Time flies, once again I’m honoured to contribute to the We Love Music project.
Maneten sound is kind of in the same territory as usual, this year around a spontaneous workout and layer on a 20%-ish sketch from 2009, the baseline, resonated chords & vocal chops are old the rest is a freshie.
The track is a sequel to the ”Dongelsonata” originally released on Solarscape Recordings September 2009. A hommage to a time period pre the WiFi hotspot.
Recorded and arranged by David Erik Holm October 2017 at Makeshift Patio Gävle.
Melodies moving slowly creating a menacing, drone-like atmosphere in which meditation will add to the experience of the listening. Suggested musical intake through headphones at dawn when the mind is still drowsy. Possible side-effects are of binaural character and may cause the listener to hear rhythms where there are none. The composition needs to be tracked carefully over its duration to be understood.
Recording from the live performance of AKB (feat. Slim Vic) at Klubb Armadillo, Kapellet, Stockholm, October 2017.
Bounce Daddy is born of electronic music, he started as a DJ at the age of nine and started producing his own music a few years after.
As a tone he played in the electropop band Code 64.
Today, Bounce Daddy creates music in many different shapes and genres.
Rötterna (The Roots) are the title song for Oestergaards debut cassette that will be released on Lamour records in early 2018.
House producer Bænglund from Uppsala/Göteborg gives us today a smooth techy deephouse track.
The music is packed with minimal acid loops and samples with excerpts from Swedish politicians, documentaries and Christer Glenning, reflecting on times when the cold war and the traditional welfare state were dissolving. Inhibitions were relaxed and new, foreign influences crept into the body of society and the old information monopolies. Motormännen’s tracks are visually enhanced by messages from pictures and videos from the 1970’s and 80’s.
David (LEHNBERG) has started to mix up his ultra rhythmic driven soundscapes to focus on his wayward musicality when it comes to harmonics.
Words are lent from; Radhanath Swami, and his speech; ’Purifying Our Existence”.
community builder, philanthropist, and acclaimed author.

I have spent the past several years researching the predictors of environmentally friendly behaviour. Before that, I was exploring psychologists' willingness or intention to integrate complementary and alternative therapies into their practice. For the past six years I have also worked on a Public Health Project called HABITAT, which is examining the ways in which the environment influences health and activity amongst mid-aged adults. I value opportunities to lecture, teach, or otherwise share what little knowledge I have managed to acrue.
A few years ago research inspired me to set up an online eco business with my husband and now we send bamboo toothbrushes all over the world and teach people how to use soap nuts (which fall off a tree) for household cleaning, rather than harmful chemicals. As a mother to six children aged between 4 and 20, and one of whom is autistic, my whole life feels like a natural experiment in which I am constantly learning new lessons. But isn't that the way it's supposed to be?

MARKETS OF NEW YORK CITY, July 30, 2010.
Andre’s Tavern was honored to be featured as the “Photo of the Day” on Markets of New York City, A Guide to the Best Artisan, Farmer, Food & Flea Markets.
Andre Burgos’ shop at the Antiques Garage, Andre’s Tavern Vintage Wine Items, will transport you back in time. Imagine a wood paneled library, circa 1909, leather and cloth-bound books on the shelves around you, a generous brown club chair, and a bottle of port that needs to breathe. You pick up your brand new boar tusk corkscrew with the sterling silver studs, and you proceed to open the bottle. The ruby liquid swirls in your glass as you settle in to take your first peak at the brilliant illustrations by Maxfield Parrish in the new version of Arabian Nights.
Fast forward 100 years, but stay focused on that boar tusk cork screw. A Walker patent corkscrew with sterling silver caps and studded boar tusk handle (American, 1900–1920), it is absolutely stunning. It is just one of many brilliant and beautiful wine-related items that Mr. Burgos brings to the Antiques Garage each weekend. He has many different kinds of corkscrews, as well as antique European pocket knives, all wonderfully designed and in excellent condition. The French decanting cradles and English Sheffield bottle coasters will turn anyone into a wine lover at the mere thought of using such lovely accoutrements.
Come meet Mr. Burgos in person on Saturdays and Sundays on the first floor of the Antiques Garage. Just looking at his treasures will help you savor your next glass of wine as if it were the best one you’ve ever had.

Staff members of the Institute of Science and Technology (IOST) at Tribhuvan University and affiliated campuses joined a training programme on local innovation and farmer-led joint research, thanks to funding from the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Nuffic (Dutch organisation for internationalisation of higher education).
The training began with a 6-day residential workshop in March 2017 conducted in Nagarkot by Chesha Wettasinha of the Prolinnova International Secretariat at the Royal Tropical Institute (KIT) and Basanta Rana Bhat of Ecoscentre in Nepal, with support from Dharma Dangol (IOST) and Suman Manandhar (UNDP) as resource persons. The training included visits to three peri-urban farmer innovators near Kathmandu involved in rooftop gardening, mushroom growing and nursery management. The trainees were highly impressed by the creativity of the farmer innovators.
In collaboration with Vicente Zefanias, Romualdo Rutazihana conducted a two-day refresher course in November 2017 for more than 20 participants from Prolinnova-Mozambique partner organisations. A third day was set aside for elections: one focal point was elected for each of the three provinces where the network is operating (Maputo, Gaza & Inhambane). The workshop participants asked Romualdo to take the chair of the National Steering Committee, as he has been with Prolinnova-Mozambique from the outset and has the longest institutional memory. During the same meeting, the network reviewed the new catalogue of local innovations to be published in December 2017.
On 4 November 2017, upon the invitation of Max Olupot (AFAAS), Brigid Letty (a member of Prolinnova-South Africa and a member of the Prolinnova taskforce for the Eastern and Southern Africa Sub-region) attended an event that was a joint initiative of GFRAS (Global Forum for Rural Advisory Services) and AFAAS (African Forum for Agricultural Advisory Services). It was a side event of the Joint Conference comprising the 3rd AFAAS Africa-wide Agricultural Extension Week and the 51st Annual Conference of the South African Society for Agricultural Extension.
The overall progress report on Year 1 of the Proli-FaNS (Promoting local innovation in Food and Nutrition Security) project funded through Misereor covers the period from 1 August 2016 to 31 July 2017. It shows how Prolinnova partners in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Ghana and Kenya have been enhancing the innovative capacities of rural communities to improve food security, nutrition security and nutrition diversity. The project focuses on recognising and working with women innovators in farmer-led research and development.
The Year 1 report prepared by ACDEP, the NGO in northern Kenya that coordinates the multi-CP project, is available in English and French.
The Country Platform of Profeis-Mali has been funded by Misereor to implement a fourth 3-year phase starting 1 March 2017. The key objectives of this fourth phase are (a) to spread farmer innovations, (b) to institutionalise the Participatory Innovation Development (PID) approach, and (c) to optimise farmer innovations through PID.
Le programme Profeis-Mali vient d’obtenir de Misereor un financement pour une quatrième phase de trois années d’activités qui ont débuté le 1er mars 2017. La quatrième phase du programme Profeis-Mali repose essentiellement sur trois objectifs clés, à savoir : (a) la diffusion d’innovations paysannes pertinentes; (b) l’institutionnalisation de l’approche Développement Participatif de l'Innovation (DPI); et (c) l’optimisation des innovations paysannes.
Georges Djohy, Prolinnova Subregional Coordinator for West & Central Africa (WCA), was selected by the Global Forum on Agricultural Research (GFAR) to take part in the training course on communication strategies through social media to be held on 5–13 October in Rome. This training, offered by GFAR and FAO, also gives him the opportunity to cover the 44th session of the Committee on World Food Security (CFS44) on 9–13 October. The use of social media is becoming increasingly important in Prolinnova’s strategy to disseminate and scale up our network's achievements and to stimulate policy dialogue about the role of small-scale farmers in agricultural research and innovation.
On 3 September 2017, a Farmer Innovation Fair was held at the Youth Association for Rural Development (YARD) offices in Ngogwe Sub-County in Buikwe District of Uganda. It was supported by HORIZONT3000, the Austrian Organization for Development Cooperation, under the auspices of their programme on “Enabling Rural Innovation (ERI) East Africa Project” in Uganda and Tanzania. The briefing note on the Fair includes information about YARD, HORIZONT3000, Environmental Alert and Prolinnova–Uganda and lists the 26 farmer groups that exhibited their innovations.
The mid-year progress report of the Promoting local innovation for Food and Nutrition Security” (Proli-FaNS) project up to July 2017 gives an overview of activities accomplished by the five Country Platforms involved – in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Ghana and Kenya. These include preparations for farmer-led research, advocacy and documentation activities, and the work of the two new subregional coordinators in Western & Central Africa and in Eastern & Southern Africa to strengthen South–South learning and collaboration.
Proli-FaNS is funded by Misereor/Katholische Zentralstelle e.V. (Catholic Central Agency for Development Aid – KZE, Germany) through a grant from the “One World No Hunger” (SEWOH) initiative of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).

Historically, Steller sea lions were used as a food source, clothing, boat coverings, meat for fox farms and craftwork. The commercial pup harvest in 1964-1972 provided fur for clothing manufacture. Contemporary use includes food, some clothing and craftwork. While the Steller sea lion population is listed as “depleted” under the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, and thus subsistence takes are subject to Federal management, subsistence harvest continues because it has not been shown to contribute to the decline. Between 2000-2004, 191 were taken per year in the Western stock, and 6 per year in the East.

Both a high school diploma or equivalent and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) certification are prerequisites for most formal education and training programs. High school students interested in entering these occupations should take courses in anatomy and physiology. Formal training is offered by technical institutes, community colleges, and facilities that specialize in emergency care training.
At the EMT-Basic level, training includes instruction in assessing patients' conditions, dealing with trauma and cardiac emergencies, clearing obstructed airways, using field equipment, and handling emergencies. Formal courses include about 100 hours of specialized training. Some training may be required in a hospital or ambulance setting.
The EMT-Intermediate 1985 or EMT-Intermediate 1999 level, also known as the Advanced EMT level, typically requires 1,000 hours of training based on the scope of practice. At this level, people must complete the training required at the EMT level, as well as more advanced training, such as training in the use of complex airway devices, intravenous fluids, and some medications.
Paramedics have the most advanced level of training. They must complete EMT-level and Advanced EMT training, as well as training in advanced medical skills. Community colleges and technical schools may offer this training, in which graduates may receive an associate's degree. Paramedic programs require about 1,300 hours of training and may take up to 2 years. Their broader scope of practice may include stitching wounds or administering IV medications.
Separate training and licensure is required to drive an ambulance. Although some emergency medical services hire separate drivers, most EMTs and paramedics take a course requiring about 8 hours of training before they can drive an ambulance.
The National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) certifies EMTs and paramedics. All levels of NREMT certification require completing a certified training or education program and passing the national exam. The national exam has both a written part and a practical part.
All states require EMTs and paramedics to be licensed; requirements vary by state. In most states, an individual who has NREMT certification qualifies for licensure; in some, passing an equivalent state exam is required. Typically to apply for a license, an applicant must be over the age of 18. Many states require background checks and may decide not to give a license to an applicant who has a criminal history.

Update: The La Center Tavern was renamed "4th Street Bar and Grill" in early 2015.
I'm sure that the current La Center Tavern has nicer drinks than a few years ago and has nicer food than a few years ago, and it may be more welcomed by a majority of the locals. But for fans of old historical places with lots of character, this is a travesty.
A real estate entry claims that this space has hosted a bar since 1914 (I've found La Center bars in city directories dating back to the 1880s, but they do not contain addresses). But the character promised by a few remaining shots of the old west style former exterior evaporates as you walk in the door. The nice back bar is still there -- it is said to have survived a big fire that destroyed most of the town, but most the decor is like a retirement home cafeteria, with ceramic chickens and all new furniture designed to look old timey. The liquors are confined to a dainty selection of spirits that lean toward flavored vodkas and fireball shots. The jolt from the knitting club theme comes only when you open the bathroom and suddenly seem to be doing your business in the back of semi truck. I can't imagine they will leave that very long -- they're probably shopping for the pink flowered wallpaper now.
And yet outside there was a local spitting chaw into a cup and telling me the history of the back bar. He says a biker friend of his told him it was usually packed before the remodel. I don't know whether to believe any of these stories, and, God bless, I wish the current owners luck. But it's not my personal cup of tea, despite some old photos that make me think it used to be.

This adhesive film should be fixed to the back of mirrors to keep pieces of glass in place case of shock or fire.
For protection of silvered glass without the use of toughened glass, it is responsible for optical distortions in places open to the public and equipped with mirrors, such as sports halls, dance halls, exhibition halls, elevators, night clubs etc.
Quick and easy, soak the silvering of the mirror, apply the adhesive side of the film to the silvering and remove the water with a squeegee. You can glue the mirror on after 24 hours. Do not apply stickers or other adhesives to the film.

In this Fall 2012 issue of FRAMEWORKS , I am pleased to offer some important news of the college. First, Deborah Berke, the New York City-based architect widely recognized for her design excellence, scholarly achievement and commitment to moving the practice of architecture forward in innovative ways, has been selected as the first recipient of UC Berkeley’s College of Environmental Design inaugural 2012 Berkeley-Rupp Architecture Professorship and Prize. I could not be more delighted, for Deborah Berke exemplifies everything this prize is meant to celebrate. The excellence of her craft, her creative approach to sustainability, and her willingness to mentor women in the field and share her ideas and expertise make her the perfect person to receive the inaugural Berkeley-Rupp Prize and Professorship.
The Berkeley-Rupp Prize and Professorship, a $100,000 award made possible through a generous bequest to the campus by alumna Sigrid Lorenzen Rupp, is to be awarded biennially to a distinguished practitioner or academic who has made a significant contribution to promoting the advancement of women in the field of architecture, and whose work emphasizes a commitment to sustainability and the community.
Deborah Berke is founder of the New York City-based architecture firm Deborah Berke Partners, and is also an adjunct professor of architectural design at Yale University. Please save the date: Deborah will deliver a public lecture the evening of January 28 at Wurster Hall Gallery at the opening of an exhibit of her work.
Turning to faculty news, over the past three years, generous donors have endowed four professorial chairs, through $1 million gifts matched by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. I am delighted to report that Associate Professor of Architecture C. Greig Crysler has been appointed the Arcus Chair in Gender, Sexuality, and the Built Environment. Named after the Arcus Foundation, a private philanthropic organization founded by Jon Stryker, the chair builds on the work of the Arcus Endowment he established in 2000. Energetically led by Greig, the Endowment has sponsored a rich program including research grants and awards, installations and exhibits, and a visiting scholar-in-residence program.
Greig’s research focuses on the history of architectural theory, and the role of architecture in processes such as nationalism, globalization, and the cultural politics of difference. His books include, Writing Spaces: Discourses of Architecture, Urbanism and the Built Environment, 1960–2000 (2003) and he is co-editor, with Stephen Cairns and Hilde Heynen, of the Sage Handbook of Architectural Theory (2012). Greig, who served as Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies from 2008–2012, offers courses at the intersection between architecture, ethics and activism.
Lastly, I am happy to report that CED has embarked on an ambitious strategic planning exercise. The College of Environmental Design, founded in 1959, was premised on a shared vision and deep commitments to social responsibility, a place-based approach to design, and allowing students to shape their educational experience. With generous state resources, CED faculty went on to build specific disciplinary strengths and pedagogical models that together became the enduring signature of the college. Fast forward to today, and it is clear things have radically changed. New challenges face cities and regions around the world. Faculty have new interests, intellectual frameworks and methodological tools. Different sorts of careers are open to those with a CED degree. And with less than 11% of UC Berkeley’s revenue coming from state general funds, the financial context of UC Berkeley and hence the college is very different compared to 1959.
With these dynamics in mind, I asked the CED faculty last spring to undertake a strategic plan for the college. The basic charge was to address three fundamental questions: What new societal problems, intellectual arenas, and design challenges should we tackle in the future? How should our pedagogy change to reflect these new directions? And how can we maintain both academic excellence and access to a CED education?
The faculty response was enthusiastic and positive. Together, we are committed to producing a brief, elegant statement of vision and values developed on the basis of input from faculty, alumni, students, and staff. We will also establish a series of concrete, funded initiatives that will move us from vision to implementation. In the process, we aim to invent a college culture and practice for the 21st century.
