I really was getting worse.
Not long after updating my blog I climbed into bed and got under the duvet. It was a sunny afternoon, my temperature was rising and yet I was freezing.
Then suddenly there was a spike in my temperature. I knew I couldn’t put it off any more. Mum drove me to the nearest hospital.
By the time we made it to Accident and Emergency my heart rate was racing, my blood pressure had slumped and my temperature was a sweltering 39c. I was quickly put into a hospital bed in what felt like the hottest part of the building.
So I was now a MEDICAL EMERGENCY and terrified. I may have been in hospital before but not this one and never in such a rush.
Tests showed that I was neutropenic. Basically my immune system was dangerously low. I had some kind of an infection and my body couldn’t fight it. Surely it was just a cold?
The doctor wasn’t so sure. He went through a list of possibilities with me; some were very serious and would mean emergency surgery.
I was put on a drip of antibiotics. Lying on my back, I stared at the ceiling and worried. Mum sat at my bedside, occasionally swatting the insects that flew in through an open window.
It wasn’t until late that night that I was taken by wheelchair through the empty corridors to the cancer ward. I was wheeled into a side room with a television and an ensuite bathroom.
Result, I thought to myself.
The next day I realised it wasn’t such a good thing. I was almost in isolation. With the door shut, I stayed in the room on my own. I looked out on a couple of building and the wonderful weather.
By the time I saw a specialist consultant I was already responding well to the treatment. I was relieved to be told that I probably wouldn’t need anything more than antibiotics.
Most of the time bags of medicine or fluids were slowly pumped into my veins. It was lovely to be on an intravenous drip that made me feel good rather than the evil chemo cocktail that I’m more used to.
My consultant had said the treatment was going to be boring but relatively painless. And he was right. Less than 48 hours after I arrived at the hospital my immune system had recovered enough for me to be allowed home. I was shocked that I was so better so quickly.
Having an emergency stay in hospital was pretty traumatic. I was so glad to be leaving that I cried on the journey home.
I know that while the last lot of chemo will be horrendous, it won’t be nearly as bad as that.
I’ve been celebrating my release with Sasha the dog. It’s amazing that I got out in time for the start of the Olympics. I thought that I’d be stuck on my own in a hospital side room instead we’re going to be able to watch the games together!
Something has changed. Following each session of chemo you’re really ill for a while and then the symptoms start to ease. I had thought this was happening. I’ve had a good day or two but now instead of getting better, it seems like I’m getting worse.
I suppose I should’ve expected this. My body is taking a pounding from the poison that I get every few weeks.
I think that I may have an infection or a virus. In normal life it wouldn’t be a big deal but my immune system is compromised. Once again I’ve called on the services of James Bond. But to be honest it’s the painkillers which are helping more than a fictional hero with a six pack.
My digital thermometer has become a close friend. Constantly checking my temperature has got a whole lot more obsessive. If it gets much higher then I have to go to hospital. I suppose that I’ve been luckily as my chemo has been relatively uneventful so far.
When I first started having this evil treatment I was given a couple of medical cards to carry at all times. If I need to go to A and E these tell the staff that as I’m having chemo I have a high risk of something called neutropenic sepsis which is a MEDICAL EMERGENCY. You know it’s serious when the NHS spells it out in capitals.
As well as feeling rubbish, I don’t look too well either. My eyebrows are disappearing. You never realise quite how important they are in framing your face until they begin to go. One of them is fading faster than the other. It’s almost as if I’ve been on a dodgy stag do and it’s been shaved off, right in the middle of the brow.
I’ve tried using make up to disguise this but it doesn’t look right. So I’ll have to get myself an eyebrow stencil kit off the internet. And I need some fake eyelashes too. Right now I barely have the energy to buy them let alone use them but one day I will.
That’s what is keeping me going. Not the fake lashes and brows although they’ll go very nicely with my new big blond wig. No, it’s the knowledge that I just have a couple more months of this to go.
If I hadn’t had that random pain just after Christmas and if mum hadn’t insisted that I got a second opinion when I was told it was nothing serious then my cancer may not have been caught in time.
I wouldn’t have this luxury of moaning about how awful the chemo is instead I’d be fighting for my life. I know this nightmare will be over soon enough and then I should start to feel better. Hopefully by this Christmas my life will be back to normal and the chemo a horrible but hazy memory.
When you’re being treated for cancer you’re prepared for it to be horrendous and scary. What no one tells you is just how boring it will be.
But at least I have Sasha the dog.
Most days are pretty much the same. I try to spend as long as I can out of bed. I sit in a comfy armchair in the living room while Sasha curls up in a chair next to me.
She is able to go outside in the garden or run around in the surrounding fields but she prefers to stay with me. Together we watch daytime TV.
Sasha is a very happy dog. She enjoys snoozing and when she’s awake she likes walks and wagging her tail. The thing is she doesn’t do much but that’s why she’s great. I never quite realised how important Sasha would be during my battle to beat this killer diesase. She’s my silent constant companion. With her, life isn’t quite so dull.
My family and friends have been brilliant during all this but I can ask Sasha the questions that no one really knows the answers to. Why did I get cancer again? Why is life so unfair? When will I stop being so exhausted? Shall we watch another Jeremy Kyle show?
Sasha looks at me with her brown eyes. I take it to mean, stop worrying. But she could just be wondering if it’s lunchtime yet.
No matter how I’m feeling I try to have a tiny walk everyday. The reward for making it outside is on the other side of the garden fence.
Some of my dad’s cattle graze in the field. These young boys are an inquisitive and friendly bunch. As we sit on the lawn and watch them, they like to come over to say hello.
It’s so peaceful. The only sound is made by the animals. They help to take my mind off things. It’s a lovely way to pass the time and you can’t help but feel calm. I know that I’m very lucky to be able to recuperate here.
I can only walk for a few minutes at a time. After my brief burst of activity I need a long rest so it’s back to the living room.
The past week has been tough. The pain has been awful but mostly it’s been all about the tiredness. It’s like suddenly being hit with a very big sleeping stick. I have no choice but to give in. It feels almost as if I’m fainting. A few days ago I woke up from one of these deep sleeps and I was so drained that it took me an hour before I had the energy to have a drink from a glass of water that was right next to me.
Today has been a good day. The side effects of my last chemo are finally starting to fade but I know that the better I feel, the more bored I get.
It can often seem like you’re adrift in an ocean of illness with months of the same stretching out in front of you. But Sasha the dog and the cattle in the field are showing me how to be more content with a much slower pace of life.
I’m feeling both nervous and excited. By all accounts this man has made countless women very happy. I’m hoping he’ll do the same for me.
No, this isn’t George the doctor from the other day who made my healthy heart flutter. The person in question is the hospital’s wig-man. It’s time for him to sort me out.
I need to choose my NHS wig. I can only do this at hospital. Today I’ve got more breath tests plus the usual pre-chemo stuff.
My hair has been slowing thinning rather than falling out thick and fast. Sadly the bald patches are getting bigger. My comb-over is getting higher.
It’s incredible that my hair has lasted this long but I reckon that soon I’ll have to shave my head.
I want to get my wig while I’m still feeling kinda okay. Due to the relentless build-up of the toxic drugs I’m worried that in the next few weeks I’ll feel so horrendous I won’t want to get out of bed most days.
My wigs have been locked in a hospital cupboard just waiting for me. I picked out a selection from a catalogue a few weeks ago. I now have to fit them on and decide which one I want. They all look pretty much like my hair used to.
There weren’t many that I liked. It seems that the world of wigs is stuck firmly in the 1980s. If you want to look like Princess Diana then you’re in luck. I’m hoping that my wig will be more Duchess of Cambridge.
The hair may be taking a while to come out but the chemo really must be working its magic as my eyelashes and eyebrows are disappearing. I can disguise these with make-up. The loss of head hair is harder to hide.
I still have Barbarella, the blond bombshell of a wig, on stand-by so why do I need an NHS one?
As I start to feel more and more tired, my confidence is quietly ebbing away. I’m not really sure that I could pull off the Barbarella look every day. In the past it would be no problem. I’m quite outgoing, well I was. Since being diagnosed with cancer I don’t always have the energy to be the person I used to be.
It’s ironic that it’s going to be easier to wear a wig that makes me look how I used to even if I don’t always feel like my old self. But the chemo won’t last forever. In a few months, I may be bald but hopefully I’ll be feeling a lot more like I want to be Barbarella. | 2019-04-22T07:09:46 | https://helenfawkes.wordpress.com/2012/07/ |
On June 23, 2018, the oil and natural gas industry must be in compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) new standards for respirable crystalline silica. While OSHA finalized the rule in 2016, it provided general industry (which includes oil and gas) two years to achieve compliance. OSHA lowered the Permissible Exposure Level (PEL) by 50% to 50 micrograms/cubic meter. Key requirements for the revised regulation include exposure assessments, exposure control plans medical surveillance and recordkeeping.
The PESA Environmental Policy Committee will host a webinar to provide a general overview of compliance requirements on Tuesday, March 20, 2018. Registration is open to members and non-members.

Finally ! The desert map of “PUBG Mobile: Stimulus” was launched. In this brand-new map, we used to “defeat islands” and fight jungle warfare. The idea began to seem impracticable. In this complex terrain, sparse cover, valleys, ravines and desert maps, the role of some firearms has also changed, so novice gamers how to choose their own suitable firearms it?
Desert maps Compared to the vegetation of island maps, the larger feature is the less shelters and the relative topography. Open, whether it is a gully, or on top of the mountains, at first glance is a bare desert. Therefore, to a greater extent, it will increase the tactical difficulty. However, for players who like steel guns and guns, the remote pull bolt sniper rifle is bound to become a hot choice. However, it must be known that for single-handed players, single-action sniper rifles such as 98K and AWM are too difficult to operate. If they have not yet mastered these firearm techniques, they will be counterproductive.
AKM’s high recoil is destined to be on the list of mainstream assault rifles. However, its powerful single shot damage is unmatched by the general automatic rifle. Although the stability of continuous shooting is poor, but we can use its single shooting damage and then with high magnification, the power of long-range shooting is not to be underestimated, like a brand new AKM “” sniper rifle “”.
The heat of the M16A4 is basically the same as that of the AKM. Both belong to the small firearms, and generally do not have the firearms. Used as a main weapon. The main reason is due to its shooting mode. The M16A4, which does not have a fully automatic shooting mode, cannot be compared with the mainstream automatic assault rifle. But to know that the main properties of the M16A4 gun is terribly high, the first is the high rate of fire, followed by shooting distance, the most important thing is the stability of the rifle. Use the M16A4 with a high magnification lens to use three bursts of fire in response to a medium-range distance, and switch to single-shot mode for a long-range target. Shooting accuracy is comparable to a sniper rifle. The most important thing is that it is easy to get and it has a high chance of being brushed out.
The Mini14 is a firearm with a high overall quality in a continuous sniper rifle. First, the stability is good, and the second is not dependent on the accessories. Because the stability is high, as long as the ammunition magnification is sufficient, it can be started. Combat. The only disadvantage is that its power is lower than most of the sniper rifles, but with the advantage of high stability and small recoil, the shooting speed can be controlled and the damage can be compensated to a greater degree.
SKS belongs to the more powerful sniper rifle Sniper rifles, high damage, the most important is its powerful continuous shooting ability. Of course, because the back seat of the firearm is relatively large, it is a test of the player’s pressure gun skills. In the case of full fittings, the stability of the firearms will be enhanced and the firing rate is consistent with MIni14.
If it is difficult to use a sniper rifle, we can choose the above AKM and M16A4. Instead of “sniper rifle” single shot by single point shooting. If the accuracy of their own shooting is not enough, then you can choose to fire a sniper rifle. If you can’t hit two hits, you can make up for the lack of shooting accuracy. You can also easily experience the thrill of remote sniper. This is the best of both worlds! | 2019-04-20T00:32:05 | http://www.app4vn.com/archives/33857 |

The story takes place in Bulgaria - European country with easy access from all over the world, keeping one of the lowest property prices in Europe. Due to the altering of the political and economic system there, salaries are small and subsequently the property prices are small too. Great! - for foreign buyers. It turned out that they can get a ski or sea property at a bargain price just 2-3 hours flight away from home. So the news spread up quickly turning Bulgaria into a magnet for foreign buyers. After joining the EU the harder procedure for acquiring land has stepped aside to a new law, harmonized with the European legislation. So the door for new buyers was opened wider.
After getting buyers' interest, investors wanted to be the ones who sell to the new coming second home seekers. This was not an easy task since the demand provoked much greater competition. Information about the buyers' "desired homes" turned out to be the advantage. So investors started researches on what do the new clients like, doing their best to please them - new complexes with more and more extras were built and sold - each one offering more than the former. Bulgarian copies of Spanish settlements rose at the real estate market, same like their foreign counterparts except for two major difficulties - the geographic location and the price. Swimming pools, golf playgrounds, jacuzzi, spa centers and so on got a major part in the new complexes' specifications attracting buyers' investment.
Would you like to live in a brand new city?
After reaching the optimum in functionality, Bulgarian investors didn't stop developing their product - this time - by increasing its size. The latest hit at the local market are vacation residential complexes with the size of a small city! A single complex may spread on something like 50 000 - 100 000 sq.m. And this turned to be a bright idea - an offer of a brand new home with a brand new infrastructure in a gated complex providing everything needed for the West European lifestyle - safety (gated communities with controlled access), comfort (most of them offer maintenance and management of the complex), recreation (fitness, gym, spa, sport playgrounds, swimming pools are a must - and some even go beyond that offering minigolf and tennis courts), entertainment (kids have their own children playgrounds and in some of the better complexes there are nursery schools, internet, cable TV and indoor amusements), foods and drink (restaurants, bars, cafeterias) and various shops. So they build a huge complex providing a desired lifestyle and start taking care of it. The whole infrastructure - alleys, sewage pipes, electrical system, internet wires, etc. is new and designed especially for that particular settlement - thus the infrastructure's life starts with the opening of the complex - no past history of wearing out, no need of extra powers.
Which is the best location for such a new-built city?
Nobody can tell so far - there are a couple of huge complexes at the seaside - in the suburbs of main resorts, there are some in the ski-resorts (smaller than those at the seaside) and some in Sofia (the capital). They all attract buyer's interest so it will take time to choose the "Best Location Winner" among them.
The cost is not higher than usual new built complexes. A usual complex needs investment just for the building and a new city needs investment for the buildings plus the infrastructure - so if they are at the same price where is the catch? The catch is in the quantity - in a brand new city developers sell much more than they do in a usual complex, so they get a greater profit and can afford a bigger investment in a way that it doesn't reflect the buyer's price.
So far these new complexes -small or much bigger are getting more and more on Bulgaria's map. Some macroeconomists believe that Bulgaria is the next Spain in vacation property sales. True or false - time will show. | 2019-04-23T06:27:29 | http://globalpropertylink.com/News/article.cfm?id=84 |
Painting the rooms of your San Antonio home is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to spruce up your home. Most people focus on a single color or theme of colors for each space, but you may want to be a little bold and try something new. Faux finish, sometimes called faux painting or finishing, gives your walls a more dramatic look, and you can make the walls look like marble, suede, leather, or any other fabric. The technique is quickly becoming popular around the world because it allows for more creativity. However, this technique isn’t easy to master, so you need to employ a professional.
With the faux finish, you can make significant changes to your home without having to completely renovate the space. For example, if you choose new countertops, you must remove the old ones and have new ones installed. This process can be time-consuming and create havoc while the work is done. Because faux painting just uses paint and various techniques, it can be done much faster, depending on the style you want and how many rooms are being done.
While most San Antonio residents may think regarding traditional paint, you may find that a professional can help you see the amazing benefits of such finishes. The faux finish can use a variety of specialty glazes and paints, as well as a variety of tools and brushes. Some painters prefer to use rags or sponges to create the effect, which can still be amazing to watch.
Options for this painting style can include brick finishes, marble, suede, leather, silk, clouds and parchment finishes. Each one adds a touch of whimsy or sophistication, depending on the style. You can visit websites to learn more about it and see style options to get a better idea, then let your creativity shine. | 2019-04-20T09:19:50 | https://www.shawcoremodeling.com/blog/faux-finish-san-antonio |

I received a free copy from Little, Brown and Co. All opinions are my own.
This was a depressing and sobering look at the opioid epidemic in our country. The author, a former journalist, takes the reader step by step from the history of doctor prescribed addictions to the contemporary landscape today.
So many shocking and sad stories. The hardest part was reading about the parents who just want answers and the children who are born addicted. It’s a vicious circle with grandparents often raising their grandchildren. The book was heavy on facts and statistics and detailed descriptions of lawsuits and pharmaceutical insanity.
Interspersed are stories of hope and survival and forgiveness. Incredibly sad stories too.
It’s an important and well researched book. It’s doubtful anyone reading this won’t be absolutely shocked. The majority of readers will also know someone who has been directly affected.
It’s a hefty, dense read. Get ready to be completely immersed.
Intense is a good word! I need something light and breezy now!
I always read MG book or contemporary when I need some light and fun book! | 2019-04-22T22:51:45 | https://orangecountyreaders.com/book-review-dopesick-beth-macy/ |

Pete Lee is a London based jazz pianist, currently leading contemporary group Narcissus. Blue Flamingo conducted this interview via email in March 2013. We were lucky enough to see his RAM performance at The Vortex with Narcissus, so now we’re touching base again!
Over the last few years, I seem to have been torn in two very different musical directions, which futilely compete for my full attention. While I was studying at RAM, taught by the UK’s most prolific contemporary jazz composers & instrumentalists, I was gigging a few times a week with the most killing band of pop musicians of 12-piece group “The White Keys”. Forming “Narcissus” was my way of bridging the gap between two things which appeared worlds apart. I identified the two contrasting elements of life and fused them together. I wanted to compose something with the sense of depth and maturity that you find in Gwilym Simcock’s or Kenny Wheeler’s music, with the sense of conviction, clarity, drive and sheer volume of an electronic pop band. So that’s the musical background of the project.
I’ve been writing with a specific theme in mind too. I wanted to tie everything together with an idea that an audience could relate to, and that would be a catalyst for the creation of more music. I chose the topic of the human mind. This includes human perception, attitude and behaviour. It’s quite a personal theme really – I’ve had my own difficulties with mental health, and recently lost a family member, who had had a long history with mental illness. So forming Narcissus was a bit of an emotional outpour. Emotional potency is always a plus in music. The intangibility of the human thought process, and the fact that it is a universal entity, encouraged me to write something honest and truly from my own experience. It can really interesting to become aware of your state of mind when you’re being most creative. What’s happening in your mind when you’re lost in music, and how do you ensure that you achieve that state regularly?
Do you think it makes a difference that it grew up outside the ‘London Bubble’?
All band members in “Narcissus” have some rooting in Leeds. We met in Leeds College of Music, but I didn’t form the band until we had relocated to London. It’s important to me that we’ve got a long history of playing together. You don’t really realise how much you trust and rely upon one-another, until you play with other musicians who have a different approach altogether. It’s easy to forget how much you’ve become accustomed to each others’ playing, but this relationship is the basis for a group that sounds unique and well balanced. To be honest, we’ve probably spent even more time together driving up and down the M1 in an overcrowded & precarious Transit van, sharing near-death experiences. It’s really important that we’re able to hang out together; it’s never even an effort anymore. Our activities as a group are more influential to the music than the location we came to meet.
This project is especially different for me musically. Stylistically, it marks a bit of a paradigm shift, a tectonic shift even! I used to swear by the acoustic sound of double bass and delicate brushes at the kit. I used to think that less was more. This band is much punchier and more direct. Now I think that more is more. We chose to memorise all the material we play, so that when we’re on stage we are free to communicate rather than read.
What did you learn during the time you studied in London?
I learnt that I’ve got a lot of work to do – a lifetime of work in fact. I guess I was already aware that with music, there’s always more to learn. But while studying at the Academy, this really hit home. I was surrounded by prolific musicians, and I had one-to-ones with Nikki Iles, Gwilym Simcock, Tom Cawley and Django Bates. It’s an amazing environment to be in – very humbling indeed.
I learnt a lot from Barak Schmool about groove writing – knowledge that I hope to utilise when writing for Narcissus. Pete Churchill’s composition and arranging lessons were great too – I learnt how to arrange my music for octet – which was really challenging. We’d have a weekly session where we’d have an octet set up, and we’d bring in our compositions and arrangements. Mine would often sound quite rough at first – but I’d use the time between the sessions to tweak my arrangements until they I achieved what I’d first envisaged.
As well as being a humbling experience, the Academy taught me to have some self-belief and motivation. I learned that if I really worked hard, I could achieve an awful lot. The main product has been my group Narcissus with whom I played my final recital. I’m really proud of this group and I’m excited about its future.
“Writer’s Block” is a great tune….inspired, by, Writer’s Block? How did you break that Block?
While in my first year at academy, I had a bit of composing crisis! I didn’t write anything new for a whole year. To pass my composition module, I wrote new arrangements of 3 year old compositions (shhhh!). But seeing as I was arranging for octet for the first time, it made sense to practice the arranging side of things without worrying about the composition itself. But once that was over, with my final recital approaching, I accepted that new material was long overdue. I knew how highly original material was valued in the final recital, and I wanted to leave RAM with something of my own.
Over Christmas of 2011, I fulfilled a short-term cruise contract to help out with rent. I was there for 6 weeks, and we revisited a lot of the same ports each time that we’d have new passengers. When we pulled up at port, all the old folks would amble off to the beach, leaving the room with the grand piano free. I forced myself to write something, dusting off the creative compartments in my brain, ignoring my self-doubt. It took around 6 weeks to write “Writer’s Block” complete with an arrangement for octet. My idea with this piece was to unite my pop and jazz ties. It’s really similar to Chaka Khan’s “Ain’t Nobody” – a really similar structure. It’s got “verses” and “choruses”, keyboard riffs that keep coming back with a horn line that sits on top – swiped almost directly from “Ain’t Nobody”! But I used harmonic ideas that I’d found in John Taylor’s “Autumn”, and the kind of unison bass and left hand piano runs that you find in Gwilym Simcock’s “1981”. So it’s a piece that consists of contemporary jazz content, organised into a pop structure.
To be brutally honest, I found it really fun to write something that entirely lacked tact or subtlety. It felt like a bit of a rebel statement in an increasingly pretentious and airy-fairy jazz scene. The enjoyment I found encouraged me to write the rest of the Narcissus repertoire without the self-doubt. I began to believe that I was creating was valid and worthwhile.
Do you know what might inspire your next tunes?
I want to use more elements of live dance music, including more modern technology and sounds. Perhaps some really subby bass and synth solos. There’s still lots more mileage to be had from my theme too. There’s been some really pressing political & personal issues recently that I’d like to express with music. I’ve been brainstorming – and have a list of tune themes as long as my arm!
What do you do to chill out when not music-ing?
Music is always on my mind, even if I’m playing Playstation! I read an interesting article recently that suggested that time spent procrastinating can be a time where many people subconsciously order their thoughts, and make grand plans. Perhaps it’s not as beneficial as playing your scales, but I think a good balance of socialising, relaxing, practicing and composing is key to living a life of successes, happiness and sound mental health.
Do you actually enjoy playing jazz the most?
What brought you into jazz?
My Grandmum bought me an Oscar Peterson compilation CD when I was a teenager. I had been playing the piano for a while already, but soon realised what music I was most into.
Did you study music at University then?
I went to Edinburgh and did Economics. I wasn’t planning on being a musician back then. I had a great time there and over time started to get involved in the jazz scene. It was a fairly easy transition after I graduated. Then I came back to London (where I’m from) and started at the Guildhall.
What’s the best lesson you’ve ever been taught that’s stuck with you?
Probably a lesson with Aaron Goldberg, and mainly because I recorded it and have listened to it so many times. He talked in a lot of detail about some really important things I hadn’t been thinking about so much at the time. Each time I listened back I understood another small detail in what he was trying to explain.
All the greats- Ella, Oscar, Herbie, Bill Evans and Hank Jones especially at the moment. Ray Bryant doesn’t get too much of a mention. Count Basie. All those guys.
So what’s the best gig you’ve ever seen?
There have been many, but I really enjoyed an afternoon trio session with Benny Green, Steve Brown and Sam Burgess at Ronnie’s. Steve let me know that they were hooking up for a play before the club opened. All acoustic and I was the only one there. It was really special.
Any Blue Flamingo gigs that stand out?
The afternoon one with Daoud Merchant and Tim Thornton was a lot of fun – for that street party!
Practice, admin, maybe some teaching from home. I have lots of plays at mine, a few times a week. Gig somewhere in the evening I guess, or Orange Wednesdays with my girlfriend.
Do you have any ‘musical pet hates’ ?
I’m not a huge fan of fakers – guys who can’t play but try to wear the right hat and say the right thing.
If you’re not playing music, what do you like to do?
Was the trombone your first choice of instrument?
The violin was my first choice and trombone my second, which I started a year after.
Why did the trombone win out?
I enjoyed playing the violin (and still do now occasionally in a string quartet and I hope to do a bit of teaching) but I think I enjoyed the trombone more as I was involved in many groups and was a member of the Doncaster Jazz Association for many years. The trombone became a much more interesting instrument, being able to play both classical and jazz music to a high level. I will never forget my first rehearsal in the trombone section in my first big band up North!
Being a ‘Northerner’ have you found any difference in musical perspectives with ‘Southerners’? Or is it irrelevant?
When I first moved to London I got the impression a lot of musicians thought they were better than people from the North, but I never felt that I was an inferior player.
How did your pre-Trinity musical life prepare you for Music College?
The music department was great at school, having a great head of music also helped. He encouraged me to join many different musical activities both in and out of school. I met lots of interesting people and learnt more advanced things about music.
So who have you learnt the most from?
I’d have to say the teachers I had at Trinity, and most of all, my trombone teacher Malcolm Earle Smith. He knew my ‘technique of learning’ and could explain things in a way I could understand with regard to learning jazz and improvising. His jazz vocal technique was also a great learning curve for me!
Tell us about the best gig you’ve ever done….
The best gig I’ve ever done would have to be recording Michael Bolton’s DVD at the Royal Albert Hall in November 2009. Great experience, great place, great gig!
The BBC Big Band (in various places)! It would be incredible to be a part of that band in 10 years time! Also watching trombone players Mark Nightingale and Gordon Campbell play inspires me to learn more new and exciting things!
…So your perfect gig would be?
To perform with the BBC Big Band, or to tour with Sting/Michael Bublé.
Do any Blue Flamingo memories stick out?
I really enjoy the 100 Club gigs as I love to watch the dancing, amazing!
If you weren’t a musician, what would your absolutely perfect job be?
I’d be a gymnast! I used to love going to gymnastics seven days a week when I was 7/8 years old, went for around four years until music took over! I used to love doing competitions and meeting lots of different people. It was an enjoyable hobby and one that I hated giving up!
What’s your most unusual habit?
Surely you can only get three notes out of a trumpet? Why did you go with that instrument?
Well that is a common misconception! The number of notes available on the trumpet does not correspond to the number of valves, or buttons, as I like to call them. There are seven combinations, each one lowering the pitch a semi-tone from the open note (no buttons) and the harmonic series is available on each valve. So to play a scale, you are in fact accessing a note from a different fundamental’s harmonic series. Hope that clears that one up! As far as your second question is concerned, I thought the teacher said ‘trombone’ when we were asked which instruments we wanted to play in primary school. You can imagine my surprise when I was handed a Bach 6c trumpet mouthpiece.
When and how did you know that your profession in life was to be a musician?
Well I can’t really do anything else, so it was the only option! I guess it was a gradual thing for me, I never really believed I would be good enough to do it. Step by step from getting in to the Junior Academy, then the senior course, doing NYJO, actually getting work whilst at college, and still being alive nearly four years after graduating. Then you start to realise you might just about be okay!
What’s the best thing you ever learnt whilst studying at RAM?
Ooh tricky! Martin Speake taught me not to apologise for my playing. Perhaps the most useful teaching was Pete Churchill‘s composition course, learning about voicings and harmony. Barak Schmool’s world rhythm classes are pretty amazing, and very applicable to a lot of music that you end up playing in the professional world. And of course the more enjoyable artistic projects. I think the best thing about college is that all that analysis and theory teaches you to think about every part of your playing, from sound and time to repertoire, stylistic things and your own approach. Being versatile but always sounding like yourself is the ultimate goal I think, as a freelancing jazz player.
What’s the best thing you’ve learnt since you’ve finished your studies?
In a professional sense, take every gig you can, turn up on time, be smart, and be really nice to everyone and you’ll get gigs! On a more musical level, and maybe this is something I need to address more, decide what you really want to be and go for it! It’s hard to work out whether you want to be the best at the thing you’re good at (say playing standards or fusion etc), or work on your weaknesses and become an all-round better player. It’s a tough one, the balance between making the music you love and paying your rent!
Tell us about the most bizarre gig you’ve ever played?
It was a concert at the Barbican theatre playing the music of Scott Walker (lead singer from the Walker Brothers). He writes incredible music, but the subject matter was very dark! There was a song about Mussolini, which involved the singer being hung upside down singing the song, whilst a man in a boxing outfit punched a dead pig that was suspended from the ceiling with a microphone in it, so the thuds were amplified through the theatre. The song I was in was called Flugel Man, and was about herpes!
Any Blue Flamingo memories which stick out?
Well there are too many to mention! The Kentucky trip was obviously an excellent experience, meeting some fantastic people, playing great music with my friends and discovering bourbon and stetson hats. Your [Leah] sister’s wedding was fun too!
Depends. Coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon, hot chocolate at night. So now you know what to buy me and when!
As usual, here’s the open floor. Anything you’d like to rant about? Arts cuts? Jazz? Beer? Plans for the weekend?
Have they cut arts? I thought it was always this bad. Yes we need more money, yes jazz is underfunded, no I don’t want to do my accounts, and I would love some theatres to put even just a bottle of water backstage for the band! Can’t think of anything else that particularly winds me up at the moment, apart from people who stop JUST at the top of an escalator.
Gigs: Hmm, it’s my birthday on 12th December, and I’m playing at Ronnie Scott’s with the house big band, so come down after and buy me a hot chocolate!
Hobbies: include thumb twiddles, collecting loose change, buying vintage trumpet mutes, thinking of daft things to write on twitter, collecting quotes from footballers that make no sense, such as “there are people all over the country waiting to put custard in my eyes…” – Steve Evans, Crawley Town manager.
Randomness: All the animals that live in my back garden are themed on footballers, and Newcastle United. Even though I’m a Norwich fan. There’s Ruel (the) Fox, Mike Ashleigh (an actual magpie), Sir Bobby Robin and Squirrel Regis, and his two baby squirrels Shola and Sammy Ameobi.
So Tom, why the saxophone? Were you a clarinet kid first?
Well…I was not a clarinet as a kid, nor did I play the clarinet as a kid! I was actually a violinist (I have quite a few strings to my bow – pun intended!…) I wanted to take up a new instrument when I went to secondary school, but my violin teacher said I was only allowed to take up an instrument that wasn’t in the orchestra, so that I would still play the violin at school. That plan back fired fairly badly as I no longer own a violin!
Why did you choose to study at the Academy? Did you find it different to Trinity?
I had always wanted to study at the Academy having done the Junior Academy course, but what with the way the auditions were back then and with me having a nightmare of an audition, I didn’t get in! So I went to Trinity – which may I say is where I have met all of my closest friends and I am so glad to have gone there. The two places are very different. At the time, I think I was best suited to Trinity anyway but after two years I felt that I wanted a change and to explore more writing/original music, which I feel is more what the Academy is about.
Has there been anyone you’ve learnt under/played with who has dramatically changed the way you play?
We learnt on a recent BF gig that you have amazing hair that repels hair spray. Any other Blue Flamingo gigs that also stick out?
What’s the most unusual/ridiculous gig you’ve ever been asked to do?
Saxophone on stilts. I learned to walk on stilts, then I joined a completely insane band of people on stilts, then I left that band. Now I can occasionally be found on stilts on some mental functions!
You’ve done great stuff with Jazz at the Green Man. Tell us about that, why have you decided to move on?
Time is really the main reason. I don’t have the time to put in to the venue and therefore the venue suffers. When I started at the Green Man it was with a group of people and slowly they have all moved on and left me holding the reigns. Since then I have much more on myself and have also moved further away…everything points in the same direction!
How was your London Jazz Festival Experience?
LJF was brilliant! We had great audiences down at the Green Man (which is where I spent pretty much all of my festival!) and when I played there myself the audience and atmosphere was absolutely amazing! (That’s some good alliteration!) What’s so great about the festival is that every gig I went to was packed out. There is definitely an audience out there for jazz…but I think they hibernate for 50 weeks of the year!
I’m not really good at venting about things…I like everything!
I’m off to watch the tennis at the O2 now! I’m a massive tennis fan – I go to Wimbledon at least once every year! If anyone fancies a game, give me a shout!
Emma is a young starlet on the UK jazz scene. She regularly sings with our Blue Flamingo jazz ensembles for corporate events and private parties.
Tell us all about the whole singing thing. A musical heritage?
I come from a crazy musical family. My grandfather played lead trombone with Sinatra for 20 years amongst other jazz legends, he’s now 76 and still plays every day! My dad is a trumpet player and big band composer/arranger who has done lots of work for the BBC, Hollywood films, etc. My mum is a burning lead alto player… the list goes on!
What’s the most bizarre thing you’ve ever learnt musically?
What has been the best gig you’ve ever played?
The Billy Strayhorn Story alongside Madeline Bell and Ian Shaw. It was a live Radio 2 broadcast with Guy Barker’s Big Band and the BBC Concert Orchestra. That was an incredible experience!
Any Blue Flamingo memories that stand out?
Do you find it any different being a woman in a predominantly male environment?
I think being a woman AND a singer on this scene is hard. I find myself biting my tongue when I get introduced to other musicians as a singer because of the image that surrounds us (out of tune, wrong key, bad charts, doesn’t know what note to start on, bad time etc.) and I do believe that, in the most part, this image is rather accurate. Although, I’m really serious about what I do and I work my arse off to be taken seriously as a musician. I like to think that this work is paying off and when I get work with incredible musicians, in and out of the Academy, I get given the same lead sheet as everyone else and no special treatment for being a singer and a woman. And that’s the way it should be.
Here’s an open floor to rant: anything on your mind?
What is up with making Facebook groups dedicated to ruining the peaceful vibe between jazz musicians of all race, colour and background on this scene? That is so sad.
I would like to have a career that looks a bit like Gretchen Parlato’s… recording, touring, residencies at the jazz standard in New York. A girl can dream, right?
Who are your favourite artists/musicians at the moment?
Tom Harrell. Well he’s always been my favourite musician but since I saw him live at North Sea Jazz Festival this year I have listened to him every day. I’m also massively into a singer Becca Stevens from NYC, she’s got an amazing folk/jazz thing going on.
How about a shameless plug?…I have an album coming out of Feb 1st 2012, I’ve been working on it with my band for nearly a year and am very excited for its release! We are launching 8.30 pm Feb 1st at Pizza Express Dean Street, special guests to be announced.
Whether it makes me lucky or unlucky, I’ve always wanted to play drums. I have a very early memory of putting a metal watering can on the patio in the garden and pulling up a chair, ripping two sticks off a tree and beating the living daylights out of it. My first (and only I’m proud to say) complaint from the neighbours. Then, at junior school, I was always a table tapper, to the point where my teacher warned my parents that either they should give me drum lessons or she would refuse to teach me. So they gave in and started me on snare drum, and it gradually went from there.
What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever learnt about the drums?
Hmmm… I suppose I was a bit shocked the first time I heard someone ‘screeching’ on their cymbals with the tip of the stick. To be honest, I haven’t gone too far down the ‘extended technique’ path (yet).
Sticking with the drum theme….give us a career history to date!
Well, as I mentioned, I began on snare drum, because a practise pad and pair of sticks was much more merciful on my parents’ ears and wallets than a full blown kit. I still tell parents it sorts the men from the boys: if your child wants to play drums and is still getting a kick out of playing a practise pad or practise kit into week 2, the bad news is it’s time to start thinking about the real thing. Anyway, snare drum led to timpani and tuned percussion in local ensembles, and then I joined the Junior Classical course at the RAM for a few years at 15. It was a really fantastic course, and the surrounding activities to the instrumental lessons were invaluable for my musicianship. At 18 I joined the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and I’m now a ‘professional’ musician, (meaning the usual mix of performances and teaching).
When I began listening to jazz, I started with the Wynton and Branford Marsalis groups, so Jeff Watts blew me away (of course). I was lucky enough to have an older brother to keep me on the straight and narrow, so I was listening to Elvin Jones and Tony Williams pretty early in my jazz explorations. Of course, when you hit music college, your tastes explode, but I remember Brian Blade and Jack DeJohnette standing out as real inspirations. In a more general sense, Wayne Shorter has been a real symbol for the essence of jazz performance and composition for me (as he has been for many people). There’s always something from his 50-year output to suit my mood at any point.
Got any lasting Blue Flamingo memories?
Best gig you’ve ever played/worst?
Wow. This is tough. I’ll always remember a function I did with a good friend for a millionaire’s private Halloween party in Surrey. As well as it being great fun musically, we had to come in fancy dress, and chose the theme of the Wizard of Oz. I was the lion, the bassist the tin man, the pianist the scarecrow and the saxophonist (bravely) went as Dorothy. There are worse ways to spend an interval than watching a hoard of zombies creep through a garden to ‘Thriller’.
Coffee, no contest. I’ve given it up now because I was getting far too reliant (think how much is too much coffee to have in the mornings and then double it), and although I miss the buzz and the hit of ‘happy’, it’s great to be able to get up in the morning and just get on with the day without needing to jumpstart it. It always felt like coffee removed tiredness, rather than gave energy.
I’d like to spend this moment dispelling a myth. Star Trek isn’t just for nerds, the modern versions (TNG, DS9, Voyager) feature fantastic ensemble casts and a real range of plots. One episode might be a comedy, another a didactic moral dilemma, another a courtroom drama, another a romance. It’s slightly pulpy, but really good fun. Remember people, ‘sci fi’ is a setting, not a genre.

In human terms, the LCA is middle-aged, proud of its past and looking forward to what God has in store as we continue to mature.
From the growth of Lutheran schooling in Australia to the establishment of lay ministries in aged-care and community services; from the birth of congregations among new housing estates to the varied ways we have served our nearby and distant neighbours, the LCA has many reasons to thank God.
As we look forward, are we longing to age graciously with grace-filled lives, or will we retreat to safe ways of living? Is the LCA on the brink of missional renewal or on a path to slow decay from a lack of imagination?
There are many signs that the LCA is on the brink of missional renewal.
Many congregations seek to be places where families and young people are nourished, and other congregations have embraced cultural diversity. The LCA also plans to plant 30 congregations in 10 years.
These signs tell us that the Spirit is active as we strive to develop a missional culture, as in the LCA Strategic Direction 2013–2018.
As Australians and New Zealanders increasingly describe themselves as ‘spiritual but not religious’, and as we encounter a post-Christian society, the need to speak into people’s lives in fresh ways becomes essential.
To do this we require courage and a missional imagination led by the Spirit.
The LCA’s New and Renewing Churches department speaks of forming missional communities (or Love. Life communities) that may become church plants. These communities are missional, contextual, formational and congregational in nature, but may not look like the sending church that birthed them.
Perhaps our training and formation energy needs to fully embrace leaders of church plants.
As we boldly step into this renewal, we will try courageous and imaginative ways of engaging with our communities. We are likely to have setbacks and failures. Thank God we have the support of our local congregation, fellow Christians and, in the case of church plants, the sending congregation. It’s the solidarity of the ‘great cloud of witnesses’ in Hebrews 12:1–3 that will allow us to run the race and persevere.
Dr Tania Nelson is the LCA’s Executive Officer – Local Mission.
The LCA’s church planting plan is at www.lca.org.au/new-churches in the booklet Church Planting: Plant Water Grow. | 2019-04-22T20:45:57 | https://www.lca.org.au/renewal-takes-courage-and-imagination-is-the-lca-ready/ |
Seville is a master planned country club community located in Gilbert. The private course is one of the best in the Southeast Valley. The Club house has lots of other things to do; such as multiple pools, tennis, gym, dining and spa. The homes in Seville range from entry level to multi million dollar custom estate homes, so there really is a home for everyone. | 2019-04-19T22:31:22 | https://www.andrewwatts.com/community/area/Seville/ |

The depression era market for doorbells fell precipitously along with the steep drop in construction. U.S. housing starts frell from 500,000 per year in 1929 to fewer than 100,000 in 1933. Economic necessity is often the mother of invention and thus the financial conditions of the 1930‘s fostered an explosion of doorbell innovations.
Fortunately for the doorbell industry, a breakthrough product created a retro-fit market. These new “door chimes” or “musical door chimes” produced a sound by striking one or more metal tone bars.
Both these claims are clear references to the alarming noise sounded by a doorbell or buzzer, and the annoyance brought when an insistent caller “leans” on the doorbell.
The superiority of a Door Chime over bells and buzzers enabled the industry to re-market door chimes to owners of existing doorbells in much the same way that consumers were later enticed to replace their black and white televisions with color sets. This was important during the depression since the only people with disposable income were those with finer homes, who were also the most likely to have installed an old style doorbell and electricity during the previous forty years.
Although 1936 was the earliest mention of “Door Chimes” in a Sears catalogs, similar door chimes had been available since as early as 1930.
By 1938, Sears offered three musical door chimes. One was a “Single Tenor” high note, another was a “Single Baritone” and the top of the line “Double Tone Chime, Baritone and Tenor” which was described as “Beautifully Harmonized” and struck both tone bars simultaneously.
All three of these door chimes were manufactured by Mello-Chime, An early leader in door chimes.
In the coming years, Sears would market door chimes under their own brands along side Nutone, Mello-Tone and Rittenhouse products.
The benefits of door chimes were heavily sold against doorbells and door buzzers by many manufacturers.
Door Chimes were variously marketed by manufacturers as the solution for having your peace and quiet disturbed by the "shrill, nerve-racking ringing of a door bell. Rittenhouse and Nutone along with many smaller manufacturers agrressively sold against the harsh and annoying sound of buzzers and bells.
Sears continued to sell door chimes, buzzers and bells on the same pages. | 2019-04-25T22:02:16 | https://www.electrachime.net/exhibits-landing-page/sears-doorbell-history/sears-first-door-chimes/ |
I LOVE the downtown theater! But yeah, I wish it had more indie movies. Like the ones at Downtown West, for example.
Don't they have the nicest people working there? And I agree about being spoiled. I almost want to just settle for whatever we have downtown than drive west.
yeah, if it wasn't for the awful price, i'd go see something just to see it in the theater. walking feels like less effort than driving when your downtown.
soccer taco is DELICIOUS! i think, mickey, you must go. it's americanized mexican like most other places in town but it's the best one of those places. the salsa is really, really, really, really good. and they do fried jalapeños (not poppers, but just pan fried, whole jalapeños) upon request. many places wont do that. i love senor taco for its true mexican tacos, but soccer taco really is very good.
ps. i am trying to get stan to play hookie with me and go see a movie right now. but, you know, that stupid blackberry just wont stop ringing. | 2019-04-22T00:52:29 | http://www.notawigshop.com/2008/01/regal-cinema-riveria.html |

Yahoo! You own the web email world with 250Mil of 500Mil web email users. Stay the king of email by strengthening it with SEG!!!
I think Yahoo has an advantage here over gmail, MS and AOL for the same reason that Y! suffered focus earlier because it had spread itself to many verticals solving many segments as a portal play.
Most ideas discussed around "tapping into the social graph" by the large web based providers today is centered on the idea of asking users to add profile information and finding friends from email interaction.
Build metrics and learn the social pattern of a user's network by association, frequency and persistency.
- association of being part of email groups for a particular user.
- allow user to tag users when they email based on repeated pattern. I prefer tagging over categories because the same person maybe related under different tags.
For example, I email my Mommy friend as "mommy friends" email group, no connection amongst them, but there is a pattern from my relationship to them - I see them all as Mommys (apart from whatever they are in life) so I can send them the next "William Overture for Moms". You cannot ask me to categorize them, they will fall under family, friends, colleague etc which does not do justice to my real social relationship with them using email today.
- people who a user chats with messenger from email get to see their status change and are part of one group, in an inner circle.
- people who a user responds to a chat quickly are again a privileged category of friends.
- spam list of users, stalled list of users whose chats are not responded quickly.
It maybe that I am part of a Y! Group with some of these friends subsets and Y! can track and build upon that to connect with rest of Yahoo - later!
The easiest application of these metrics is friends finder, maybe cool for early adopters to find friends in different categories and tag or categorize them. Wheres the sustainable value to users from this exercise and how can yahoo lockin these users for competitive advantage?
Step 2: Present opportunities to do what user does intuitively in her real social graph.
Travel, Shopping, Finance are all social activities where we exchange emails researching, collaborating, purchasing and finalizing logistics of our plans with different set of friends.
Some friends influence the purchase decisions, some contribute to research data with search from web or sharing pictures, and a select few get to consume the experience with us.
Your travel plans maybe initiated by looking at your friends' Hawaii picture.
When you research, you check in with friends on their best deals for reference to sources.
Your review session with friends are different from review session with family or friend who is traveling with you to make purchase decisions.
On purchase you exchange emails on logistics of travel, not to mention you start the review cycle again to begin your experience of consumption of the travel.
email communication involving reviews, while most are intense in the peer influencing communication, and all involving purchase and consumption with different sets of friends.
Yahoo can bring rest of yahoo network to layer upon email, building upon the SEG.
Add different use cases of user behavior based on the SEG metrics collected and offer new value added products and services.
The trick is to present it as a clean UI, with simple intuitive usability.
Users will adapt the best solution from anyone be it a large or small company, from existing email or social networking company where the user can "simply be themselves", they can bring more and more of their real self to their online world, the most important part of their online world, their email.

Let the first weekend of the new year begin! We have some sweet family plans for it involving a short trip and honestly I cannot wait to set on an adventure!
BUT, before we leave I want to show you my latest makes. As I have already mentioned before, I am planning a boho kids shop and I made these sweet unicorn headbands for it. I always tremendously enjoy myself working on kids' stuff - the whole process is rejuvenating and magical too; watching my ideas come to live fulfills me greatly.
What about you? Have you had any first projects done?
The headbands are available here.
What a great idea, Maya! So original! I love it! Happy New Year, my friend.
Thank yohu Mia! All the best im the new year!
How lovely Maya. I wish I'd seen these a few months ago. My daughter desperately wanted to be a unicorn for Halloween and we couldn't find a pretty horn anywhere. This would have been perfect.
Halloween unicorn headbands (with a little twist to mark the event) is a nice idea to have in mind.
How adorable. I'd also like to try some new things this year, there are so many to choose from.
Love that headband! Thanks for sharing at our link party!
That's so lovely! We just had a unicorn birthday party for my daughter and I wish I had seen these earlier. Very nice! | 2019-04-22T02:07:26 | https://thelittletreasures.blogspot.com/2018/01/crochet-unicorn-headbands.html |

Our 16th hole was voted in the top 18 holes for the south-west; a fitting accolade for a very good hole. A good tee shot across the river onto a narrow fairway is essential because there is trouble on both sides. Keep the ball to the right hand side of this gentle dog-leg left which will give a view of the green for your approach shot. The green has a gentle tilt from right to left. | 2019-04-26T04:12:43 | https://www.stovergolfclub.co.uk/hole_16 |

Yes, we’re just a few short weeks into this year, and Jenelle’s already had a baby — her third child, the undeniably adorable Ensley Jolie.
She’s all set to move into her huge, beautiful house soon.
And, as of today, she’s engaged to boyfriend David Eason!
You’ve got the happy couple, a dozen red roses, and, of course, the main attraction: what looks to be a pretty sizeable pear-shaped diamond ring on that very important finger.
Yeah, it looks like David did good.
Two weeks after they had a baby together and several months after they bought a large chunk of land and began building a house together is “perfect timing”?
OK, Jenelle. Whatever you say.
As always, people seem to be pretty torn about this latest development in Jenelle’s life.
The comments on this photo are filled with congratulations and well wishes, but a lot of people are being a little more harsh.
Or a little more realistic, how ever you want to put it.
“Did he buy that ring with your money hahahaha,” someone asked, just for example.
“How many times has she ‘decided on forever’ lol this is like six times,” another pointed out.
And while that first thing is kind of catty — Jenelle makes hundreds of thousands of dollars on Teen Mom 2, so if she knew they were getting engaged and she wanted to drop more money on a fancier ring, that’s her decision.
But that second point is a little harder to ignore.
Jenelle was engaged to Andrew Lewis, the guy who fathered Jace, then she was engaged to boyfriend Gary Head, the guy who eventually got arrested for knocking her around.
After that, she got engaged and later married Courtland Rogers. Shortly after their wedding, the relationship went all to hell and they got divorced.
And then, after that, she got engaged to Nathan Griffith, father of her second son, Kaiser. And — surprise! — that relationship didn’t end well either.
So this is at least the fourth engagement for this girl. It makes sense for us to be concerned it’s not going to end well.
And even besides all that, David has his own problems. His ex placed a restraining order on him after he threatened to kill her, he insults Jenelle’s sons.
It just doesn’t seem like the greatest situation.
But hey, maybe Jenelle and David have really grown as people, maybe this engagement will actually stick.
We sure hope that’s the case.

New Jersey Family Courts recognize the cause of action for divorce of "willful desertion" or "willful and continued desertion" for greater than 12 months. In India, the Indian Courts will generally recognize a New Jersey divorce or foreign divorce if the cause of action is one that is recognized in India. An Indian divorce cause of action exists for desertion or abandonment for greater than 2 years. So, if a party may obtain a New Jersey divorce for desertion, generally that divorce will be upheld in an Indian Court and the New Jersey divorce will be recognized as the divorce of the parties in India. | 2019-04-24T09:00:30 | http://www.divorcenewjerseylawyer.com/blog/tags/abandonment |
You’ve decided to make some pretty involved improvements to your investment property. Problem: said property is over a 1,000 miles away, and as charming as it seems, you’re not ready to transfer your whole life there just yet.
How can an absentee homeowner gauge if the prices being quoted match the work that needs to be done and represent the services required? You can’t.
Living part-time or visiting a location occasionally may give you a taste for what is available in the area, but NOTHING beats local knowledge by established professionals, particularly when the work that needs to be done requires specialized skills and knowledge of local regulations.
For example: a general contractor must have intimate knowledge of construction AND of the local construction codes which often differ from town to town within a geographical location. For instance, Coral Gables construction codes are more strict than those of Aventura or the City of Miami.
• How much time are you willing to allot for the project?
• What is your budget for the project?
• Have you taken into account the cost of permitting?
TBR Property Management Services works closely with experienced, licensed and qualified GCs who know the local regulations and the cost of permitting.
• If the property is an investment with a tenant, how long will the project take?
• How long will you be without that income?

So I am a twin as most of you know. An identical twin. Being in Utah this weekend reminds me of being a kid.. a youngster not a baby. But my mom remembers me (us) as babies. My mom says we were the happiest babies ever. I think it’s because we had each other. Knowing that someone always has your back is a very comforting feeling, lets you cut loose, laugh, and just have fun.
My mom was talking with AbFab about my sister and I, and sent these YouTube links to AbFab… she said it “reminds me of your mom and ‘Paula’ in their wonderful younger years”. I watched the videos, and it does remind me of the special bond I share with my sister – our own language, our own way of communicating.. it just worked. We always entertained ourselves, each other.. we were always finding fun together, exploring the great outdoors. Being a twin has been a challenge – Since all I know is that strong connection, I almost expect it in my partnerships. Well, that’s what my EX would say. I don’t think this is necessary this is the case – I think anyone who wants to be connected with a person, a partner, you want that special connection.
Twins are fabulous – complex and simple all at the same time. I love my twin, as different as she is, she is fabulous. She is the funnier one, I’m more serious… but it doesn’t matter what we are or what we’ve done, I know she loves me and I love her. It’s a warm blanket I have wrapped around me at all time.
Twin boys in a serious conversation … about what? Who knows. Doesn’t matter, what matters is that they make sense to each other.
And this one… I actually remember being a kid… My sis and I had so much fun (I don’t remember my parents until I was in my early teens). Notice how they don’t really know that their parents are around because they are having so much fun with each other. Yup, that was my sister and me.
Last but not least, what its like to be a twin as described by teens.. – things are fun, such as trading places, strong intuition, dressing the same, etc.
O.k. enough twin stuff. I’m exhausted and heading to bed. I’ll post my UT experience in the next day or two. It was FABULOUS. I loved seeing my family – next time I want one more day… just one more day….
Previous Article On “PTO” and a Few Random Thoughts.
Yes twins are a truelly unique experience that few of us will ever understand. Twins are far more common than years ago. Once seeing twins brought stairs and questions now it seems that every fifth child is a twin. Well maybe at my sons school. I don’t think there was a single twin in my schools until high school for me.
a small way your experianced of twin dome.
May you and your sister both be well. | 2019-04-20T20:12:50 | https://paulasponderings.com/2012/05/06/twin-speak/ |
The Contact page is a natural starting point when looking for a particular customer or searching for a subset of customers.
The SEARCH BOX in the top right is useful when searching by first name, last name, street name, city, town, phone numbers and invoice numbers.
The main table provides one line per property with sortable columns.
The number at the top reveals the number of properties on display at a given time. If no filters are applied, the number should display the total number of properties in the system.
The left side includes all available filters, which are used to "filter" your entire list to pull out only those customers meeting certain criteria, such as RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES in a certain town or county.

Save on Fluoxetine HCL at your pharmacy with the free discount below.
Fluoxetine (Prozac) is used to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (bothersome thoughts that won't go away and the need to perform certain actions over and over), some eating disorders, and panic attacks (sudden, unexpected attacks of extreme fear and worry about these attacks). Fluoxetine (Sarafem) is used to relieve the symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder, including mood swings, irritability, bloating, and breast tenderness. Fluoxetine is in a class of medications called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). It works by increasing the amount of serotonin, a natural substance in the brain that helps maintain mental balance.
Fluoxetine (Prozac) comes as a capsule, a tablet, a delayed-release (long-acting) capsule, and a solution (liquid) to take by mouth. Fluoxetine may be taken with or without food. Fluoxetine (Sarafem) comes as a capsule to take by mouth. Fluoxetine (Prozac) capsules, tablets, and liquid are usually taken once a day in the morning or twice a day in the morning and at noon. Fluoxetine delayed-released capsules are usually taken once a week. Fluoxetine (Sarafem) is usually taken once a day, either every day of the month or on certain days of the month. Take fluoxetine at around the same time(s) every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take fluoxetine exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
It may take 4 to 5 weeks or longer before you feel the full benefit of fluoxetine. Continue to take fluoxetine even if you feel well. Do not stop taking fluoxetine without talking to your doctor. If you suddenly stop taking fluoxetine, you may experience withdrawal symptoms such as mood changes, irritability, agitation, dizziness, numbness or tingling in the hands or feet, anxiety, confusion, headache, tiredness, and difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. Your doctor will probably decrease your dose gradually.
tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to fluoxetine or any other medications.
tell your doctor if you are taking pimozide (Orap),thioridazine or monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam, Zelapar), and tranylcypromine (Parnate), or if you have stopped taking a monoamine oxidase inhibitor within the past 2 weeks. Your doctor will probably tell you that you should not take fluoxetine. If you stop taking fluoxetine, you should wait at least 5 weeks before you begin to take thioridazine or a monoamine oxidase inhibitor.
tell your doctor and pharmacist what other prescription and nonprescription medications and vitamins you are taking or plan to take. Be sure to mention any of the following: alprazolam (Xanax); anticoagulants ('blood thinners') such as warfarin (Coumadin); antidepressants (mood elevators) such as amitriptyline (Elavil), amoxapine (Asendin), clomipramine (Anafranil), desipramine (Norpramin), doxepin, imipramine (Tofranil), nortriptyline (Aventyl, Pamelor), protriptyline (Vivactil), and trimipramine (Surmontil); aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn); clopidogrel (Plavix),clopidogrel (Plavix), diazepam (Valium); digoxin (Lanoxin); diuretics ('water pills'); linezolid ; flecainide (Tambocor); insulin or oral medications for diabetes; lithium (Eskalith, Lithobid); medications for anxiety and Parkinson's disease; methylene blue; medications for mental illness such as clozapine (Clozaril) and haloperidol (Haldol); medications for migraine headaches such as almotriptan (Axert), eletriptan (Relpax), frovatriptan (Frova), naratriptan (Amerge), rizatriptan (Maxalt), sumatriptan (Imitrex), and zolmitriptan (Zomig); medications for seizures such as carbamazepine (Tegretol) and phenytoin (Dilantin); sedatives; sibutramine (Meridia); sleeping pills; tramadol (Ultram); tranquilizers; and vinblastine (Velban). Your doctor may need to change the doses of your medications or monitor you carefully for side effects.
tell your doctor if you are being treated with electroshock therapy (procedure in which small electric shocks are administered to the brain to treat certain mental illnesses), if you have recently had a heart attack and if you have or have ever had diabetes, glaucoma (increased pressure in your eyes that may lead to vision loss), seizures, or liver or heart disease.
tell your doctor if you are pregnant, especially if you are in the last few months of your pregnancy, or if you plan to become pregnant or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while taking fluoxetine, call your doctor. Fluoxetine may cause problems in newborns following delivery if it is taken during the last months of pregnancy.
talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of taking fluoxetine on a daily basis if you are 65 years of age or older. Older adults should not usually take fluoxetine on a daily basis because it is not as safe as other medications that can be used to treat the same conditions. | 2019-04-24T15:56:27 | https://www.helprx.info/fluoxetine-hcl-discounts-coupons |

I tried the brunch at The Albert Pub in Kingston and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Nowadays pubs are getting more and more like restaurants regarding the quality of the food and thats a good thing.
Back to my brunch. They offer a simple menu which I prefer as when there are loads of choices I just can’t decide.
I tried the Full English which included fried eggs, smoked bacon, Lincolnshire sausage, mushrooms, backed beans, vine tomatoes and toast. As you can see it was a plate full. The photo does not do it justice.
I surprised myself by eating the sausage as I’m not normally that keen on them but it was so full of flavour and I enjoyed it. The bacon was delicious, lean and moorish! Eggs were perfectly cooked with yokes runny and whites firm. The large flat mushroom made a change from button mushrooms. Tomatoes were juicy and the baked beans were of a good quality not very runny. The toast was a square thick white but not toasted enough for me but even so was very enjoyable.
Overall a very delightful brunch served by helpful and friendly staff. I will visit again as The Albert has a great atmosphere about it as well as good food. Next time I’m going to try the smashed avocado with poached eggs. My mouth is watering at the thought of it.
A lovely touch was the little flower pots on the tables.
Do you enjoy a brunch like I do? or did you have an evening meal?
Have you visited The Albert before?
Would love to hear your comments on the food and your visit. | 2019-04-26T00:17:51 | http://www.millymollydoes.co.uk/2016/08/29/brunch-at-the-albert/ |

For some, hiking through beautiful countryside just isn’t enough. Some hikers need a little more adventure in their hike: a touch of fear and a dose of courage to create an additional element of thrill in the adventure.
Don’t get lost in this Groundhog Day desert.
The least accessible section of a national park dominated by towering rocks and red earth is called The Maze. A landscape of dead-end canyons and scarce water supplies calls for absolute self-sufficient and attracts less than 2,000 visitors a year (most driving through in jeeps).
It is not called The Maze for nothing. Many canyons here look identical and there are no marked trails. Once you’re in The Maze, it’ll take all your wits and wisdom to find your way back out. So if you fancy yourself a map reading savant, this challenge is for you.
Be sure you take enough supplies for a long stay – it can take rangers three days to locate and reach you here.
Search for the right route and hope the rocks above you stay there.
Although not named The Maze, the South Ridge Route of Maroon Bells is definitely a maze of sorts. With the summit of the southern peak of the Maroon Bells above you, the destination is clear (or so you’ll think). But safely reaching the true summit is another matter altogether.
Over 9-12 hours, this summit return requires constant route-finding while clambering carefully over the precarious rubble of the crumbling peak. The terrain is very unstable and there is no such thing as a ‘normal path’.
As you scramble up the consistent class 3 route, be careful not to dislodge any loose rocks. If you do, all you can do is pray that there’s no-one below you. The challenge becomes a mental endurance too as the numerous false summits can easily frustrate you into making a mistake. Should you make one it could prove to be extremely costly.
Don’t ignore the weather warnings, or the vertical drop.
Despite up to 3,000 intrepid hikers take on this popular trail each day in the summer season, the Mist Trail finds itself on our list of scary hikes. Why? Well, the final 122 m (400 ft) is a vertical climb up bolted still cables; fatigue, altitude sickness and dehydration affect many of would-be summiteers, and that rock surface gets mightily treacherous in the rains.
The worst time to climb Half Dome is during an electrical storm. A combination of the steel and the granite make this iconic rock a prime lightning conductor. If you’re on it in a storm, you may well take a faster route down than you had intended (as previous hikers have tragically discovered).
With patience and respect, the Mist Trail needn’t be anything more than a thrill. But ignore the warnings and the fear will become very real, very quickly.
Prepare to move between heaven and hell on this slippery trail.
Walking the Devil’s Path takes most people three days. And those three days will seem spent in limbo travelling between heaven and hell as you ascend and descend along the “toughest hiking trail in the east”. And if, or when, it rains, the ground underfoot (granite, mud and moss) suddenly becomes more of a threat than a salvation.
Six peaks in 40 km (25 miles), and repeated visits to the plunging valleys in between is the itinerary for the Devil’s Path, totalling more than 4,265 m (14,000 ft) of elevation changes. Oh, and there’s the odd cliff to navigate too. Don’t underestimate the trail nor its strenuousness as deaths are certainly not unknown along the Devil’s Path.
Travelling from east-to-west along the northern spine of the Catskills, it is one of the more spectacular walks you can find in this landscape. Arrive prepared for the endurance and the weather, then tread carefully on this stunning three-day wilderness adventure.
Whatever you do, don’t look down – unless you like sheer drops.
A short 8 km (5-mile) return, Angels Landing’s fear factor is not in the trail itself but what lies either side of it. As you progress towards the panoramic views of the lofty perch that marks the trail’s ‘summit’, the path gets steeper, narrower and becomes more of a scramble. No problem? Either side of the path is clean air, all the way to the valley floor.
Angels Landing takes you out along a narrow rock fin in the middle of Zion National Park. The last kilometre is the most memorable part, as the rock fin narrows and steers you towards a single-track, uphill scramble along steel chains. As with Half Dome’s Mist Trail, patience is the key to a safe return, and again, don’t let its popularity be an invitation to complacency (the two trails have a comparable recent death toll).
For anyone with vertigo, probably steer clear of this trek. For everyone else, just be careful that it’s only the angels who take flight along this treacherous ridge.
Hang out in royal history, just the path survives the hike.
How much do you trust the engineers and builders of 100 years ago? Hanging 100 m (328 ft) above the Guadalhorce River in the Betic Mountains is ‘the King’s Little Pathway’, which was completed in 1905. For 3 km (1.9 miles), this feat of early 20th Century engineering takes you along the middle of the 300 m (984 ft) Jurassic limestone walls.
But if you think this will be a nice regal walk, think again. Today, the path is in a state of considerable disrepair, with gaping holes revealing the rusty steel supports that barely cling to the wall. Attach a harness to a steel cable for the duration may provide a sense of safety along the crumbling path, but won’t stop you gulping at the prospect of some sections.
El Caminito del Rey is a magnet for adrenalin junkies, requiring rock climbing and the balance of a mountain goat as you traverse the skeletal structure of the path. A man-made adventure not for the feint-hearted, and certainly no longer for royalty.
Give the rock a little nudge first, just to make sure it’s still firmly in place.
Admired more safely from below, Kjerag (1,084 m/ 3,556 ft) towers above Norway’s Lysefjord. But if you came for more of a thrill, the perfect surprise awaits you on the summit plateau.
Wedged in a crevice is a round rock, suspended over the valley below awaiting the erosion that will finally let it complete its journey to the valley floor. Let us just hope that moment doesn’t arrive with someone stood on it posing for the prized photos of hikers. The Kjeragbolten is the high-point of a 5-hour return trek, though some prefer to avoid the slow downhill by base jumping off it.
A summer hike, getting the Kjeragbolten is a test in itself. Climbing 570 m (1,870 ft), the route from Øygardstøl includes several ridgeline traverses along sheer vertical drops that prepare you for the route’s climax.
The Armchair Mountaineer on a Via Ferrata.
8. Via Ferrata – Dolomites & Alps.
Follow the soldiers’ path in the Dolomite's, though the challenge of the climb is all you’ll be fighting.
The ‘iron roads’ of the Dolomites were the world’s first such routes, though now more than 300 networks exist. These original routes were built between 1915 and 1917 as the Italians and the Austrians both attempted to claim the mountains’ strategic significance. Aiding the movement of troops and supplies to il fronte vertical, networks of iron ladders and cables, known as Vie Ferrate, criss-crossed this mountainous terrain.
Today, these 100-year-old networks are used by climbers and hikers wanting to explore the iconic landscape and its human history. Clipped on to cables, there are 15.5 km (9.6 miles) of Vie Ferrate to explore, allowing you experience routes normally reserved for the best mountain climbers alone.
The closest many hikers can come to real mountain climbing, the Via Ferrata certainly pushes the boundaries of what can be defined as a ‘hike’.
There are also Vie Ferrate in France and Switzerland. One such example; the Via Ferrata Curalla, is easily accessible from Chamonix and this is what you are in for if you take it on.
Trust the troll tongue to hover above the valley floor.
Walk out on a troll’s tongue, 604 m (1,982 ft) above Lake Ringesdalsvatnet. This flat piece of rock, which is closed to hikers in the winter, is the centrepiece of a 10-12 hour return hike from Skejeggedal.
The Trolltunga hike itself covers 22 km (13.5 miles) and requires around 900 m (2,953 ft) of ascent. Originally a multi-day hike alongside mountain glaciers and pristine lakes, it was decreased to a single-day adventure by a funicular until 2010. Since its closure, the one-day Trolltunga hike seems to have remained as a challenge for hikers fit enough to try.
What better way to re-energise at the halfway mark of a tough hike than walking to the lip of a rock suspended far above a pristine lake?
This thin protrusion is the result of glacial activity and offers a unique experience along this stunning hike. Just like Kjeragbolten, just hope that it stays there long enough for you to get your photo!
It’s basically a tightrope made of rock. No problem, right?
Britain’s narrowest ridgeline connects the Munros of Meall Dearg and Sgorr nam Fiannaidh above Glen Coe. The 9.5 km (6-mile) hike takes 7-9 hours, and will test both your scrambling skills and your head head for heights.
A grade-II scramble stretched out over the wilds of Scotland’s west coast, this route offers stunning views alongside its adrenalin rushes. That’s when you’re not staring at your feet as you navigate the narrow ridge the keeps you from the 900 m (2,953 ft) drop.
Not for the feint-hearted nor the total beginner, this is a serious challenge of balance, scrambling skills and endurance. And just hope it doesn’t rain when you’re up there.
You can try not to look down, although that’s half the fun.
Spanning the base of the Trift Glacier is a 170 m (558 ft) suspension bridge, 100 m (328 ft) above Lake Triftsee. It is the longest suspension bridge in the world and is part of the Trift Bridge hike that leads hikers across a deep glacial ravine on a unique hiking experience.
The bridge was first built in 2004 as the Trift Glacier retreated to such an extent that the Trift Hut of the Swiss Alpine Club became inaccessible. As the hikers flocked to this unusual hiking experience, it was replaced with a sturdier version in 2009. Still, its sagging centre and tendency to sway in the wind will do little to reassure you as you inch your way across.
The hike to the bridge and glacier in central Switzerland is begun with a cable car trip that sails you high above the Swiss valley below. The return from cable car to bridge and back is 5.6 km (3.5 miles) and should take around 3 hours. For the more adventurous, carry on past the bridge on one of the additional trail options such as the strenuous alpine hike to Windegg Hut.
The world’s most dangerous cliff side hike? Probably.
If visiting a tea house on the southern summit of Mount Huashan (2,160 m (7,087 ft) sounds like a leisurely hike through mountainous China, don’t be fooled. This is one of the world’s most dangerous hikes along makeshift paths that somehow cling to the sides of this holy mountain.
A route first create by monks and pilgrims in 2nd Century BC, this network of wooden planks, iron chains and occasional stone pathways is now a tourist favourite. But with drops far exceeding those of El Caminito del Rey and with names of sections such as the ‘Thousand-Foot Precipice’, this is a path that will push everyone’s fear factor to the limit.
And don’t forget the ‘Heavenly Stairs’: steep enough that one slip could dislodge everyone behind you.
The whole network of trails connects all five of Mount Huashan’s peaks is rumoured to have an annual death toll of up to 100. So, truly, watch your step as you traverse this (hopefully) death-defying hike.
You’ll take the iron road and I think I’ll stick to the low road.
Climb an iron road that reaches higher than any other in the world, as you ascend Borneo’s highest mountain. Mount Kinabalu (4,095 m/ 13,436 ft) has suspension bridges, steel cables and ladders over two trails, the highest of which reach up to 3,776 m (12.388 ft).
Traversing the smooth grey rock walls of Mount Kinabalu requires your absolute trust in the carabiner. To reach the summit of the sacred Low’s Peak requires a further scramble beyond the 6-hour Low’s Peak Circuit. This makes for a 15 km (9.5 mile) return, usually spread over 2-3 days with nights spent in the numerous huts that line the route.
Reaching the summit used to involve the sacrifice of a chicken, as the locals believed their ancestors dwell on this mountain. Now this event only happens once a year, when seven chickens are offered up, but don’t let that lessen your respect for the mountain’s importance to the local people.
If you like having company, make sure you take some friends with you.
One of the world’s longest escarpments invites you to try one of the world’s most stunning and hair-raising hikes. The 65 km (40-mile) North Drackensburg Traverse hike follows the northern edge of the escarpment, 3,000 m (9,843 ft) above the Lesotho plateau. If the height alone is not enough to get your pulse raising, the infamous chain ladders will.
Less an official track than a general direction over rough ground, this trail may have you crossing paths with local Sotho herdsmen, especially in summer. Apart from them, it’s unlikely you’ll see another soul out on this trail, which is arguably one of Africa’s most remote. Self-sufficiency is an absolute necessity.
The rewards of roughing it through this African wilderness are obvious: try the view from the Amphitheater, for example, a cliff that’s triple the size of Yosemite’s El Capitan.
Don’t let this hike live up to it’s nickname.
Known as the ‘Hike of Death’, it should come as little surprise that the journey up Hunaya Picchu differs greatly from the famous serenity experienced at sunrise in Machu Picchu. From the ancient city, this 4-hour crumbling trail takes you up to the mountain’s summit (2,693 m (8,835 ft) via exposed steps that climb 353 m (1,158 ft) and includes a couple of wide-runged wooden ladders.
The summit route is a circuit via the Moon Temple, though you’d be advised to head straight up first and visit the temple on the way down. The steep steps may be daunting going up, but the descent down them is downright perilous, with the mountain falling away beside you the whole way.
You’ll be glad to get back to the famous Inca citadel after this additional pilgrimage! | 2019-04-25T17:47:24 | http://armchairmountaineer.com/scariest-hikes-in-the-world/ |

I'd like to request a showing of 1411 Richland Rd Ne, Calgary, Alberta, T2E 5M7 (MLS® #C4223299). Thank you! | 2019-04-18T16:18:14 | http://www.todayscalgaryhomes.com/listing/c4223299-1411-richland-rd-ne-calgary-alberta-t2e-5m7/ |
I just graduated and moved from Maine to Boston in June. I’m currently living in a sublease with my wife until the end of the Summer….and there’s been a nagging pressure to find an apartment. It’s annoying, and I’ve spent countless hours searching for a place that we could inhabit for the next couple years.
The Boston rental market is insane. It’s expensive, and there’s sky-high demand. My wife and I are relatively picky people (especially considering we don’t plan on moving from apartment to apartment), and quickly realized that the nice apartments won’t last.
Being married is huge – landlords don’t want crazy parties.
I work at a tech company, so I’m always testing new products….perhaps there’s some tech out there that can aid this crazy apartment hunt?
Iftt is pretty awesome, and simple to use. You can create a Craigslist recipe and receive new posting alerts when someone lists an apartment (and you can respond quickly). The awesome part about this is that you can create advanced searches in Craigslist and be very selective about which emails are sent. The only downside to this approach is that you will often see duplicate postings. I didn’t care – I was saving tons of time.
IFTT is a massive time saver.
I sent a link to my website – they can stalk me all they want.
Yesware (a Boston tech co.) may be for professional sales people, but I’m trying to sell myself to a landlord, and I need to know if they are actually reading my email. That’s why I use Yesware to track who opens my email, and who doesn’t.
If they are reading my email and are not responding, it means my email body needs work.
Don’t criticize – I was AMAZED at how many people were pointing out everything they thought was wrong with the apartment. DON’T DO THIS!
Highlight your advantage – in our situation we highlighted that we were married and wouldn’t throw enormous parties.
Be prepared – in the 10 minutes we were in this apartment, there were 6 other prospective tenants that showed up. The landlord was showing the apartment for 3 days = tons of competition!
Many other applicants at the tour were filling out applications on the spot – this seemed like a great idea until I realized I didn’t have the name of my previous landlord. I started filling out the application and screwed up fields (you know, when the rows are really close to one another). My wife and I decided that the best option would be to leave and fill it out at home. Best idea ever.
How many times have you read applications where you weren’t able to distinguish handwriting? Imagine doing this for dozens of applications. This is the life of a landlord. Make their life easier, and fill out the application with Hellosign – it’s legible and professional…plus you have a record of it!
My wife and I are super excited to live in Somerville – hopefully this post sparks ideas on how you can use technology + differentiation to find a great place to live in Boston. Two final notes – if you are interested in learning about how I negotiated rent in Boston (on my Summer sublease saving $150/mo, let me know by signing up). Lastly, I would love to hear your feedback on Twitter. | 2019-04-25T04:45:32 | https://www.lukethomas.com/how-i-used-technology-to-find-an-apartment-in-boston/ |
A great alternative to plant pots, planters can really add that wow-factor to an outdoor space, especially when combined with gorgeous flowers, shrubs, and trees.
It’s one of the easiest ways to bring more vibrancy to a garden, but unfortunately not all planters are made equal. Susceptible to rotting and general decay, you will find many planters last a few short years before needing to be replaced or at least restored.
However, that is never the case with our teak wood planters from Chairs and Table!
Made using the highest quality teak wood, our planters offer the perfect balance of style and durability that will let you get your money’s worth. As one of the best hardwoods available, teak is strong and long-lasting, with many properties that make it ideal for outdoor garden use.
For example, teak has a high oil and rubber content that allows the wood to be extra protected from the elements. Virtually weather-proof, these teak planters will not be damaged from exposure to rain, frost or excessive sun, so it definitely won’t be rotting any time in the near future!
Not only that, but wood burrowing insects and pests will not be able to damage the wood, ensuring that these products will last for a long time to come. Given the contents of a planter box, you really want it to be made from quality materials that will last, which is certainly the case here.
However, it is recommended that you use a compost bag or something similar when filling the planter with soil, as this will all but guarantee no rotting over time. Soil can still damage teak, it just takes a long time to happen, so be sure to take this small precaution – it will get you many more years out of the planter!
Moreover, these planters look beautiful. They will greatly improve the overall style of any garden space, looking especially attractive when placed alongside pathways, decking, or patios. Plus, with four size options available it should be easy to find the perfect-sized planter for your garden.
Designed with four posts to help raise the planter of the ground, the design isn’t just stylish but functional – the base comes with flat slats to provide exceptional drainage to ensure plants will thrive.
There’s also a selection of size options to choose from, with the planters available in small (35 x 35cm) medium (45 x 45cm) and large (54 x 55cm). So, whether you are looking for a single planter or a selection of different sized planters for your garden, we’ve got you covered! | 2019-04-23T22:00:07 | https://www.chairsandtables.co.uk/blog/tag/planters |
In this episode, Daniel J (DJ) Moran, Ph.D., of Pickslyde Consulting, and co-author of the book ACT in Practice: Case Conceptualization in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, discusses committed action, or the behavioral "meat" of ACT. Join Jen and John as they discuss bringing it all together, using behavioral principles, behavior therapy techniques, and the other 5 ACT process to promote patterns of behavior that are vital and healthy.
Dr. Moran was trained in behavior analysis and has been an active part of the ACT/RFT community since 1994, contributing at conferences and serving on the ACBS board of directors. His book (with Dr. Patricia Bach), ACT in Practice, teaches psychotherapists how to develop case conceptualization skills that are aimed at improving practitioners’ ACT interventions. (Click here for the companion website for the book and free resources.) For five years, he was the director of Trinity Services in Illinois, where he ran an internship and practicum that taught therapists how to do ACT and evidence based treatments. Most recently has begun a consulting organization (Pickslyde Consulting), in which DJ employs ACT strategies to help accelerate work performance, increase safety behaviors, improve innovation, and increase leadership and management skills in the workplace. He has also appeared on several episodes of reality television programs such as "Hoarders" helping individuals with this difficult-to-treat form of obsessive compulsive disorder. | 2019-04-20T19:02:56 | https://contextualscience.org/podcast/09_an_introduction_to_committed_action_with_daniel |
If your backups start to take longer, examine your system even if the backups are within your normal backup window. Here's a list of 10 things that may be slowing things down.
If your system is feeding data faster or slower than your backup system can handle it, your backup performance will suffer. Slower speed means you're not getting maximum throughput. Trying to feed data too fast results in blocks being resent.
Incorrect parameters for the storage and backup systems will significantly slow your backups. The classic one is not having enough cache, but there are a number of other potential problems as well, such as incorrect host bus adapter (HBA) settings, the wrong SCSI settings, or poor choice of block sizes or page file parameters. Check the documentation (including any updates on manufacturer's Web site) to make sure you have everything set correctly.
The rule here is to automate as much as possible. The other rule is to make sure the operator is properly trained. Running a backup on a simple system isn't rocket science, but it isn't intuitive either.
Make sure you've got the appropriate firmware on your system. "Appropriate" will usually mean the latest version, but not always. If your backup performance deteriorates after a new version of the firmware on any part of your system, check with the manufacturers, or try switching back to the old version and see if performance improves.
Backup media has a finite lifespan. You need to replace tapes and disks as needed. In the case of tapes, this is usually determined by how long they've been used or the number of backups. With hard drives, the normal procedure is to wait until the disk starts showing an unacceptable level of bad sectors or other indications of impending failure.
Both tape and disk are remarkably resilient and both will try to work even as they're failing, usually by rewriting failed blocks. However, that takes time and failing media can significantly slow backups. Of course, failing media also makes the backup unreliable, so it's best to replace media on a regular schedule or at the first sign of failure.
If you're backing up over a network, network performance has a critical impact on backups. Make sure you've got enough bandwidth to handle both the backups and any other traffic on the network at the same time. A failing network component or a bad connection will also slow the backup. These and other network problems will usually show up in the network logs. If you're backing up over a network, those logs are one of the first places to look for clues to poor performance, especially if the problem is intermittent or comes on suddenly.
Use data deduplication on you your files before backing up. As much as 90% of the stuff on some systems doesn't need to be backed up, especially not if you've got a feature like System Restore on Windows systems to handle immediate recovery of lost files and folders. If you're backing up things like .tmp files and browser caches, you're wasting backup time. Modern backup software typically lets you apply elaborate filters to determine what gets backed up and what's ignored.
All backup technologies have their niches and trying to use one outside its niche increases the chances for failure. The most common cause of this problem is pushing a technology beyond its performance limits. This is because every technology, from tape technologies, through network technologies, and the associated software have a basic range (scale) where they work best. When you move outside that scale, the technology does anything from work less well to fail completely.
When we think of this in terms of backups, we tend to think first of tape drives. The throughputs and tape capacities of the various technologies are well known because they're advertised in the specifications. if you're trying to back up, say 300 GB of data on tapes with a capacity of 3.5 GB -- such as the first-generation Exabyte Corp. (now owned by Tandberg Data) Mammoth -- it's going to go slow, no matter how capacious your tape library is. That's an extreme example, but similar situations are common. This sort of thing happens, usually, for one of two reasons. It may be that someone made a mistake in specifying the original equipment and chose technology that wasn't right for the job. The more common situation is that your backup needs have outgrown the technology you're using.
An example like the 30 GB on the 3.5 GB tapes is painfully obvious. However, the situation isn't always that clear, especially when the problem is just beginning to surface. That's why you need to check your performance logs and review your hardware and software specifications when backups are running slow.
This isn't exactly a top-10 reason for slow backups, but it's one of the first things a lot of people suspect when performance degrades. Still, there are a number of ways infections can seriously slow backups.
For example, if someone is using Alternate Data Streams (ADS) to hide stuff on your Windows system, you may be backing up a lot more than you think. In Windows, information stored using ADS doesn't show up with the dir or related commands (You can reveal them on Vista with a dir option), even though they can be filling your disk space with warez and stolen files. In extreme cases, the bad guys' ADS can completely fill your storage even though your system reports plenty of free space.
You can check for malicious ADS with a freeware tool called LADS. With Windows versions other than Vista, there are no native tools that will reveal ADS.
Badly fragmented disks will slow reads and writes and one of the places this shows up is on backup. In fact, it's likely to show up first on backup because of the large number of disk operations concentrated in a backup. | 2019-04-21T00:40:49 | https://searchdatabackup.techtarget.com/tip/The-top-10-causes-of-slow-data-backups |
Keeping perfect trim angle and compensating for heel used to be a challenge for any helmsman. Not anymore! With the new Automatic Boat Trim system from QL, the ride is always perfect. All the helmsman needs to do is push the “A”-button and let QL Automatic Boat Trim do the rest.
QL Boat Trim system is revolutionary in that it uses vertical interceptor blades, rather than the conventional horizontal plates. Among other benefits, this gives rapid response to changes in boat trim, and opens for an efficient and reliable automatic trim function.
The helmsman gets a new optional button on his control panel: the “A”-button which stands for “automatic” and pushing it enters Automatic mode.
The helmsman needs first to trim the boat manually to the wanted attitude. A five second push of the A-button activates the memory and the Automatic boat trim will remember this attitude, also when the power is turned off. The helmsman can set a new wanted position at any time. The Automatic Boat Trim automatically compensates for changes of boat attitude caused by speed, wind or people moving about on-board.
While in Automatic-mode, the system is active at boat speeds over six knots and inactive at lower speeds. The helmsman can easily go back to manual mode by simply pressing the A-button or by just pressing any of the other four buttons on the control panel.
• The Automatic Boat Trim system consists of the QL Boat Trim system plus an Attitude control unit and a GPS receiver.
• The Attitude control unit constantly monitors the relative attitude of the boat compared to the wanted and sends the information to the main control unit.
• The GPS receiver monitors boat speed and, more importantly, changes in course and feeds the main control unit with this data.
• The main control unit is the brain of the system. Specially developed software constantly calculates the information received and sends commands to the interceptor units.
With the system in Automatic mode, there is no blade position shown on the panel, only the automatic indicator light. Should there be an error in the system an error code is shown on the control panel.
Automatic mode is active until the helmsman enters manual mode again, even if the engine is turned off and later restarted.
Installation of Automatic Boat Trim system is very easy. Thanks to can-bus technology the Attitude control unit and the GPS receiver are connected simply by a Y-connector. There is no extra calibration needed – just set the wanted boat attitude and the perfect trim is there. The system can also easily be installed as a retrofit. The software works for any boat model suitable for the QL Boat Trim system.
• Fully automatic boat trim, pitch and roll.
• Senses changes in course and do not compensate for heeling in turns.
• Memory for last set point, also when power is turned off.
• Manual override at any time.
• Four helm stations possible.
• Easy installation. Also for retrofit.
• No extra maintenance required.
• Complies with CE and ABYC requirements. | 2019-04-20T17:02:31 | https://www.volvopenta.com/brand/en-en/news/2007/jul/news-26843.html |

Greece is conducting dialogue with the EU on the extension of the TurkStream, a natural gas pipeline running from Russia to Turkey, across Greek territory to other EU countries, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said in an interview with Russian news agency TASS on Dec. 6.
Tsipras said Athens and other European countries are convinced that the EU has to move to cooperation with Russia on the TurkStream pipeline, which, according to Greece, should become not only TurkStream, but “EuroStream” as well as part of the multifaceted policy in the energy sphere.
“We are negotiating [it] in the European Union. I believe that our arguments are strong. We have persistence and patience, and I believe that we will possibly have positive results in the future,” the prime minister said.
Gazprom began the construction of the offshore section of the TurkStream in May 2017. The project envisages the construction of two pipelines, each 939 kilometers long.
The first line will be designed for the Turkish market and will meet 35 percent of Turkey’s natural gas consumption alone. The second is for gas supply to countries in southern and southeastern Europe.
The capacity of each line is 15.75 billion cubic meters of gas per year. The first deliveries are scheduled for the end of 2019.
The launch of the second branch of the TurkStream to deliver gas to southern and southeast Europe was scheduled for 2019. In November, Tsipras stated that Greece is actively agitating for this gas pipeline to pass through Greek territory to Europe. | 2019-04-19T22:29:32 | http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/amp/greece-in-talks-with-eu-to-extend-turkstream-gas-pipeline-greek-pm-tsipras-139530 |

How Long Is Stockton Aloe Vera Good For?
Q: I was interested in how long your Aloe gel lasts for, both opened kept in a pantry, and unopened kept in a dark basement?
A: Stockton Aloe 1 – 100% Pure Raw Aloe Vera Gel does NOT have a long shelf life. Raw, of course, means that no pasteurization or heat processes of any kind were used in the making of our product. Furthermore, there is nothing in our Aloe Vera to repel nor kill bugs, bacteria, yeast, or fungus except the cold. Our brand really is 100% pure nothing added. If you keep your Stockton Aloe 1 gel for any length of time, you should keep it frozen. Once it is thawed, we recommend you keep it refrigerated and consume it within a week. If you are not going to use it up within 7 days, you can pour it into smaller containers and re-freeze the gel or make aloe vera ice cubes.
On first read, it might sound like our aloe is not good because it doesn’t last. but think about it like this: bacteria and bugs like to eat good things… which is why good things spoil. If the product has a shelf life, it is usually because the bugs and bacteria find it unfit for food.
WARNING: This product has not been pasteurized and, therefore, may contain harmful bacteria that can cause serious illness in children, the elderly, and persons with weakened immune systems.
The FDA does NOT require this statement when the juices are fresh squeezed and sold by the glass at a farmers market, roadside juice stand, or similar venue. But if the fresh juice is bottled and placed for sale, the label is required.
Most commercially available aloe drinks have been pasteurized which kills any naturally occurring friendly bacteria as well as potentially harmful pathogenic bacteria. Furthermore, most have also had chemical preservatives added such as Sodium Benzoate, Citric Acid, or other common preservatives to prevent bacteria from growing in them. When these or similar processes have been performed, the food ceases to be a “live food”; yet, in the case of food products that have been contaminated by harmful bacteria, killing everything ensures safety. There is a trade off, however. That is, most vegetation is healthier in its raw natural state, providing that no harmful contamination has occurred. Furthermore, there is debate over the extent of damage to our natural gut flora from chemicals, including preservatives, in foods.
Most aloe vera products, prior to being preserved, have also been treated with activated carbon and diatomaceous earth. These processing agents are mostly filtered out, however, prior to bottling. There purpose is to remove the outer-leaf “anthraquinones” such as aloin. Aloin can be a potent laxative and ought not be consumed in large quantities. Many beneficial nutrients may also be removed in this decolorization processes.
At Stockton Aloe 1, we feel that the decolorization process is necessary for aloe juices that have not been properly cut and filleted. However, we have found that our clean hand filet process prevents most outer-leaf anti-nutrients from ever getting into our aloe vera gel. Of course, since it is not decolorized, sometimes we have pink aloe vera!
Stockton Aloe 1 aloe vera gel on average contains less than 5 ppm aloin which exceeds the International Aloe Science Council (IASC) standards. We accomplish this WITHOUT decolorization processing. We are unaware of any other commercially available aloe vera products that can make this claim and we are confident that no others exist.
can you send it to europe?
I received to bucket this Tuesday and left it out in the garage to thaw (it’s been about 52 degrees in there during the day, colder at night). Today, Friday I opened the bucket because I thought it had fully thawed. However, upon opening I saw there is still a basketball size frozen part in there. Now I’m unsure what to do since the seal is broken and bag has been opened and I did stir in there with the skimmer provided… Should I put it in the fridge to thaw or leave it out in the garage? I will be gone for the next 2 days.
We recommend thawing at room temperature… 70 to 75 degrees for 48 hours… less when it has been in the mail. It’s best to open the bucket immediately up receiving it and feel through the bag to see where it is at… before opening it.
As to what to do now… It depends…. it might be best to pour off what you can and put the rest in something clean that is large enough to hold it. I might melt by night time… but probably not in the garage. That is why we tell people to not thaw in the refrigerator. It just takes too long to thaw in the cold temperatures.
How many time can you defrost and refreeze?
It’s not a matter of how many times you defrost and refreeze. It’s more a matter of how much time it spends thawed, and how high the bacteria counts go.
We recommend thawing one time, and pouring into smaller containers to refreeze ad take out as needed.
How can I tell if the aloe has been in the fridge too long? Color? Odor?
It will ferment… get thinner… and even feel a little effervescent on you tongue. I’ve never known of anyone to get sick from drinking fermented aloe… but as it thins and ferments, many of the reasons you got it are no longer present in the aloe.
after seating a few days in a transit. I suppose your delivery carrier is not equipped with on board refrigeration unit?
I’ve read FAQ on your site and it looks like it can’t even seat in fridge for more than 7 days and you advise to split it into smaller portions?
I’m not sure how this solved so please let me know.
We ship in styrofoam using FedEx 3 days or less… It might thaw a little on the way, especially during the Summer. Sometimes we use dry ice or use 2-day postage. It is OK to refreeze in smaller portions if you don’t plan on using it up within 7 to 10 days to prevent degradation in the refrigerator.
I just purchased some of your Aloe recently and it took 2 weeks to thaw out in the fridge. How do I know if it is bad? In the future does it have to thaw completely or can it thaw out a bit and I can pour the gel in a smaller container as it thaws or drink it?
It will be fine… though you may have lost some of the potency in the delayed thaw. Next time it is better to leave it out of the fridge for 4 or 5 hours to thaw faster.
Not sure I’m understanding correctly. Your aloe vera is shipped frozen and has no stabilizers, preservatives, or chemicals, plus certified organic, non gmo and third party heavy metal verified?
What is frozen shelf life?
Suffer from arthritis in hips, shoulder spine and shoulders. Have changed my diet. Should I expect help or some type of relief from aloe vera.
Have not taken medication since 2009.
Some people do get significant and even complete relief and some don’t. The frozen shelf life is at least a year.
Our aloe is grown organically but not certified. It is pure with no stabilizers, preservatives, etc… just pure aloe gel. It has not been 3rd party verified. I understand that “The Health Ranger” has a kit you can order for testing your supplements for heavy metals, etc. | 2019-04-21T08:10:31 | https://aloe1.com/shelf-life/ |

First Look – Sam Heughan as Jamie!
TV Series Wins People’s Choice Award!
I think I’ve been to Germany five or six times now—and my luggage has never once reached the place when I did. It’s always showed up eventually, after one, two, three, or even four days, but I’m probably one of the few Americans who knows exactly where the British Airways lost-luggage office is in the Duesseldorf airport. Mind, the first time I went to Germany, Things Happened en route, and I ended up in Amsterdam rather than Frankfort, so it was no wonder that the luggage ended up somewhere in the bowels of Gatwick airport and I was obliged to attend my German god-daughter’s christening in the jeans and T-shirt in which I’d been traveling.
You’d think I’d learn. But nooooo….I entrusted my luggage this time to USAirways (my current candidate for Worst Airline Ever, and I speak from vast experience), to be handed over to Lufthansa when I changed planes in Chicago. Not that I really had much choice; you can’t carry the Necessary for a week-long book-tour in a book-satchel, after all. I was not really surprised, though, to eventually reach Cologne and discover that my luggage hadn’t.
Well, one gets philosophical about this sort of thing, and the Lufthansa lost-luggage people kindly gave me an emergency overnight kit, with toothbrush, toothpaste, and a size XL white cotton T-shirt in which to sleep. I had my book-satchel with me, containing Kindle, takeoff/landing book (because they won’t let you read your Kindle during those periods), chocolate, and essential meds, after all—what else did I really need?
Granted, there was a photoshoot scheduled for the next morning, during which the German publisher proposed to get a new dust-jacket author photo. And while I could do interviews perfectly well in jeans, turquoise Uggs, and a turquoise plaid shirt (my travel ensemble), that seemed a little casual for the evening event at LitCologne, the city’s very elegant literary festival, for which I was meant to address the multitudes—in company with Cologne’s Vice-Mayor for Culture (Cologne has seven or eight vice-mayors, I’m told. And there is evidently quite a bit of vice, too; I was told that the new Metro was constructed by the German equivalent of the Mafia, who stole so much material from the project that a new underground station had recently collapsed—taking with it the state Archives (which was sitting on top of it) and destroying the biggest collection of medieval manuscripts in northern Europe) and Daniela Hoffman, the actress who reads the German audiobook version of my work, this event to be held on a ship cruising up and down the Rhine.
The resourceful publicist who’d met me at the airport checked me into the Hotel im Wasserturm (Hotel in the Watertower, and it is. Built inside an ex-water-tower, I mean. Interesting place. Wedge-shaped rooms. http://www.hotel-im-wasserturm.de/), then asked the desk clerk where to find a department store likely to be open in the evening, and we charged down the street in the rain (propelled by the enormous umbrella helpfully supplied by said desk clerk, which acted as a wind-sail) to Kaufhof, a monstrous store with acres of clothes, shoes, luggage, jewelry, etc.
One hour of frantic shopping, and I was hastily but respectably equipped with black short-sleeved sweater, black long-sleeved sweater, black pants, colorful scarf, a rudimentary makeup kit, gold earrings, and what my husband described upon seeing them as “fetish boots.” (see above).
The entourage included said art director, the publicist with me, the photographer, the photographer’s assistant (the hapless person whose job it is to hold immense reflectors and carry the tripod), and a nice young stylist named Xenia, who plied her art subtly enough that while I did look older than I do unadorned (_vide_ the less formal snapshots, which were taken that evening in a café with some local readers, after the LitCologne event, and the lovely rain-soaked one taken by my German translator coming down into the Moser Valley). I did not look like a prostitute, I’m happy to say.
I did nearly freeze to death. It had stopped raining, but spring had not yet sprung, and I tell you what, old stone buildings are C-O-L-D, especially if you have to stand very still on said stones for very long. The photoshoot took abour four hours, all told, and Xenia and the publicist took turns leaping forward to swathe me in coats and shawls whenever the photographer paused to change equipment.
Ah… one minor correction. The Flavia books are by Alan Bradley, not Bradbury.
Well, no. Generally, one only promotes a book when it's newly published. They normally _do_ send me to LA for at least one appearance on book-tours, but didn't this time–publishers cutting costs, I expect; the whole industry is in a tail-spin.
had a similar nightmare on my trip to the United States – starting April 16…..remember…. volcan ash….and we "just" booked a cruise, starting from San Diego….
Airplane was the next to last starting until they closed Munich as the last airport in Germany….
Immigration officer chatted friendly with collegues – unfortunately he forgot to stamp my passport, so I was supposed to go to the second screening….
And there they are really not in a hurry – and they don´t care, if you need to catch a flight or not..
Plane was cooled down to zero…..

Upon admission to the graduate program at the MSE department, you will be assigned one or more advisors. Your advisor is your best resource for academic planning and research supervision. It is important to build a strong relationship with your advisor during your time at Stanford. If at any time you feel that your advisor assignment is no longer appropriate, please come to the Student Services Office. You may change advisors at any time.
The MSE student handbook has been prepared in the hope that it will be of continuing help to you during your study at Stanford. It discusses the various requirements, rules, practices and procedures that are necessary for you to navigate the university, school and department bureaucracy toward your degree. It is the responsibility of both the faculty and the Student Services Staff to make sure that a Stanford graduate degree is meaningful and significant. These rules and procedures are designed to facilitate that goal as well as meet the various university rules that apply to students at Stanford and in this department. | 2019-04-26T09:51:23 | https://mse.stanford.edu/information-for/current-grads |
Citing a need to have something to thumb through while on the phone with casting or occasionally toss at an assistant in a dramatic manner, Relativity and Paramount have commissioned new scripts for their respective Stretch Armstrong and Ringling Bros. projects, which have yet to become fully completed films with merchandising back-ends despite their recognizable titles. "They're just sitting there, after I already had the posters mocked up. What more does it take?" an executive from each studio thought bitterly to themselves, before giving up and contracting writers to begin assembling enough clichés for them to start selling toys already.
Smurfs writing team David Stem and David Weiss have been drafted to handle Paramount's Ringling Bros. project, which will take a "Night At The Museum and Charlie And The Chocolate Factory" approach to using the legendary circus as a backdrop for various formulaic family comedy vignettes, potentially involving elephant dung and a dance number set to an old-school rap song, depending on the dictations of their flowchart. Meanwhile, Relativity and Hasbro have hired Dean Georgaris, writer of The Manchurian Candidate remake, to fashion vintage rubber toy Stretch Armstrong into a "plausible, action-oriented family picture," possibly out of spite. Both scripts have been asked to meet the demanding expectations that they will be written legibly on paper or, at the very least, emailed in a file that can then be printed out. | 2019-04-22T04:11:09 | https://news.avclub.com/writers-hired-to-create-something-that-can-ostensibly-b-1798230979 |

Numerous more updated clubs started popping up within the 1980s making these games even more prevalent.

I was first introduced to hand embroidery by my grandmother who taught me the basic stitches which were popular in the 1940s and 50s. I still prefer to use these stitches but like to alter them by using various thicknesses of wool and embroidery threads to produce abstract designs and more textured pieces. My favourite subjects are rural scenes, trees and country gardens. I also have an interest in antique textiles and sometimes incorporate damaged pieces in my work. I love French knots! | 2019-04-22T00:30:27 | https://topstitchnorwich.wordpress.com/janet-fletcher/ |

Last year I was sitting with Fr. Andrew Louth and I asked him when do we as Orthodox Christians celebrate peace? Holy Peace (Agia Eirene), like Holy Wisdom (Agia Sophia), is one of the titles associated with Christ. I also knew that on September 1, the Church’s new year, we celebrate creation and the environment. So when do we celebrate peace? Fr. Andrew suggested to me that the Elevation of the Holy Cross is the day most suited to reflecting upon divine peace, and the duty of peacemaking. The connection between the cross and peacemaking again returned to my mind when we had to choose a logo for the Orthodox Peace Fellowship. We wanted something that was distinctively Orthodox, but also recognizable as a peace symbol. The choice was obvious: the cross. Orthodox Christians often represent the cross with decorated ends. The ornamentation represents flower blossoms. From death comes life, from the wood of execution comes resplendent blossoms. There is no better symbol for nonviolence, which turns violence into peace.
If anyone wishes to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it. For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world and lose his life?
This is a very poor plan for revolution. Christ was literally telling his followers that they should be executed by the empire they hoped to overthrow. To add insult to injury, Christ includes a joke, “what does it profit the man who gains the whole world but loses his life?” The man Christ was referring to was, of course, Alexander the Great, who conquered the world and then immediately died. The answer is that this profited Alexander nothing. By drawing attention to this, Jesus made clear the empty promise that is military victory.
Instead, Christ proposed a nonviolent solution. By dying his followers would win and conquer. This is the meaning which Fr. John Behr focuses on. By turning the other cheek we conquer our enemies, not by fighting back. This creative, and actively passive response, which overturns the cycles of sin and violence, has gotten a lot of attention recently. The most comprehensive study to date of nonviolence has demonstrated that nonviolent methods are more than twice as effective as violent methods. Christians should be unsurprised by this result. The cross is always victorious over the sword. To win we must lose, to conquer we must be conquered, to live we must die. Not only is this the more ethical way, the “way of perfection,” but it is literally more effective. Nonviolence transforms violent situations into peaceful ones. Peace is thus the end and the means; “there is no way to peace, peace is the way.” This insight is precisely why Christ preached and practiced the cross. He conquered the world, sin, the Romans, and death itself by dying.
A certain man once kept striking Socrates, the son of Sophroniscus, in the face, yet he did not resent it, but allowed full play to the ruffian's anger, so that his face was swollen and bruised from the blows. Then when he stopped striking him, Socrates did nothing more than write on his forehead, as an artisan on a statue, who did it, and thus took out his revenge... [T]his conduct of Socrates is akin to the precept that to him who smites you upon the one cheek, you shall turn the other also.
By refusing to strike back, Socrates did not perpetuate the cycle of violence. However, by writing his attacker’s name on his head he was able to still address and defeat the evil. This is close to what Christ meant by the command to ‘turn the other cheek.’ The type of blow Christ was referring to, a strike on the cheek, was the kind of blow that a master might give to a slave, a slap with the left hand. The damage of this blow was not so much that it would bruise, but that it signified that the assailant viewed themselves as superior. It was an insult. But instead of striking back and escalating, Christ proposed a creative, and nonviolent, solution. Turn your other cheek to your attacker and invite them to hit you again. If they did so they would be forced to strike you with the other hand, as they would strike an equal. Thus if they escalate the violence then they will already lose, because they will have to admit to you a dignity they intended to deny. By turning the other cheek you leave them two options, either take back their insult with a second strike, or de-escalate the violence. In either case nonviolence beats violence.
On March 10, boxcars were loaded with 8,500 Jews, including 1,500 from the city of Plovdiv. The bishop of Plovdiv, Metropolitan Kirill (later Patriarch of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church), along with 300 church members, showed up at the station where the Jews were awaiting transport. Kirill pushed through the SS officers guarding the area his authority and courage were such that no one dared stop him and made his way to the Jews inside the boxcars.
Kirill whose protest had the blessing of Metropolitan Stephan of Sofia, the highest ranking Bulgarian Church official during the Hitler years opened one of the boxcars in which Jews had been packed like sardines and tried to get inside, but now SS officers stopped him. However, when one door is locked, often another is left open. Kirill next walked to the front of the train, declaring he would lie down on the tracks if the train started to move.
The story of this act of civil disobedience spread like wildfire throughout the country. In the end, the Orthodox Church was successful in its nonviolent opposition to the Nazis. At the end of the war, the Jewish population of Bulgaria was several thousand higher than it was at the beginning, making it the only country under Nazi rule to increase its Jewish population.
Joining the beginning to the end, subsisting as the Lord of both, he manifested, the plough in the end, uniting the tree to the iron and thus cleansing the earth; for the Word being firmly united to the flesh and in this form fixed together, he cleansed the savage earth. In the beginning, the pruning hook was typified beforehand through Abel, signifying the gathering together of the righteous race of humanity.... These things were contemplated beforehand in Abel but were again proclaimed by the prophets and finally perfected in the Lord.
In this passage, St. Irenaeus is giving a reading of the phrase, repeated by several prophets, “They shall beat their swords into ploughshares and spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.” Isaiah and Micah both repeat this dictum. Joel repeats it as well, adding the phrase “let the weak say, I am strong.” The prophetic message clearly attests to the victory of peace over violence. Irenaeus connects this tradition with the cross. Christ redeems the world by being fixed upon the iron and the tree. In this way, Irenaeus connects the wood and iron of the plough and pruning hook to the iron of the nails and the wood of the cross. Irenaeus sees the cross as the fulfillment of these verses. In the nonviolent way of the cross, the promise of overthrowing war is fulfilled. Christians will not study war anymore, but shall study the way of nonviolence. Irenaeus then takes this a step further. This message of nonviolence was prefigured first in Abel, who was killed in the first recorded act of violence in the Bible. The breaking out of violence in the world was the final moment of the fall, when we lost our blessedness and our growth became stunted. Peace was killed when Cain killed his brother. However, the prophets proclaimed that it would come again, and the nonviolent way of Christ brought about this peace.
Irenaeus therefore reads the whole of salvation history as the story of nonviolence overcoming violence. The spiritual destiny of humanity is thus connected to our vocation as peacemakers and the work of Christ “who is our peace.” As such, we may conclude that to become fully human, to be redeemed, requires nonviolence. This is perhaps something of the meaning of Jesus’ words when he said that “whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it.” The way of the cross and the way of redemption are interconnected. We thus have arrived at the spiritual, personal, and mystical meaning of the cross, the mysticism of nonviolence.
Perhaps the clearest teacher of the mysticism of the cross is the as of yet uncanonized modern day saint, Gerontissa Gavrielia. Her central teaching, rooted in her philanthropic ministry, was love. But not just love that feels good, rather true and deep love, Christian love. She taught that true love requires self-abandonment. Appropriately, the cross is her ‘icon’ of love: “Love is only on the Cross.” This means that when we love, we must be ‘crucified’ in a sense. In our prayer to God, our very self must be obliterated such that we might say “I do not exist.” We must become like a drop of water encountering the ocean. In uniting with the ocean the drop ceases to be a drop and is absorbed entirely into the other. So it is with our love of God in prayer. We cease to be anything apart from love towards God, the true Other. As Gavrielia says, “To reach nonexistence, love, love, and love—and so identify completely with the Other, with every other. Then at the end of the day you ask yourself, "Do I want anything? No. Do I need anything? No. Do I lack anything? No." That’s it!” We do not need anything because we have reached true kenosis, true emptying, true humility, where there is no longer I but only Thou. We do not need anything, for as the Gerontissa comments, “Three things are needful. First Love, Second Love, Third Love.” Even more radically, this is not just our relationship to the Divine Other. Gavrielia comments that we completely identify with the Divine Other, and “with every other.” This means that we must also be absorbed in love for every fellow human. Before our neighbor we must also abandon ourselves so that we do not exist anymore. We must become nothing but love, having nothing of the self, but only love for the other. To quote, “We must not exist before every image and likeness of the Other.” We must not exist before our fellows in humanity because they are the image and likeness of God. Thus to be absorbed into the Thou of the Divine is to be absorbed into the Thou of every icon of Christ, which is every person. True love, true peace, true nonviolence, consists precisely in this self-abandonment for the sake of the other. Indeed, “there is no greater love than to lay down your soul for your friends.” As St. Maria Skobtsova comments, this verse about laying down one’s soul in Greek properly reads as ‘soul’ and not ‘life.’ This means that while, yes, it is a prophecy about Christ’s voluntary execution, it is also a command to not just lose our lives, but to lose our very selves in loving the other.
With this we see the personal spiritual meaning of the cross. To take up one’s cross is to lay down one’s sword. This means that we should take up love and lay down hatred, take up nonviolence and lay down violence, take up forgiveness and lay down resentment, take up gentleness and lay down harshness, take up weakness and lay down strength. In every aspect of our lives we must do this. And then, when we have completely and totally given ourselves over to peace, nonviolence, and love, then we shall be redeemed for then we shall no longer exist in or for ourselves, but only in and for the Other. There shall be nothing more of us except love. In losing our self, we shall become our true self, which is love, and in losing our life we shall gain it. | 2019-04-22T19:27:17 | https://incommunion.org/2018/09/17/the-meaning-of-the-cross/ |
Sometime last year I paid a visit to Paul Gryzbek, of Tube Audio Design, to have him modify my Cayin TA-30 integrated amplifier. My wife was in class in Chicago all day, so I hung out while Gryzbek worked on my amp. We talked about a little of everything, and eventually the conversation got around to what hed been working on lately, which brought us to the TAD-150 hybrid (tube and solid-state) preamplifier. He didnt have the prototype on hand that day, but wanted to know if Id be interested in a review sample after the initial order backlog had been filled. Duh!
If you dont yet know about Tube Audio Design, give them a little time -- I think youll be hearing more in the years to come. Paul Gryzbek is one of those rare individuals who has built a following of extremely loyal customers while doing business over the Internet. This is not an easy thing to do, but when you read the comments of TAD customers on Internet forums, you soon begin to understand that a lot of it has to do with the integrity of the man behind the product. Rarely have I seen customers endorse a product as overwhelmingly as do Gryzbeks customers; theyll all tell you that Paul (he appears to be on a first-name basis with every one of his customers) is one of the best reasons to buy from TAD. Add to this TADs reputation for building audio products of high quality and high value, and you have a recipe for success.
There are two versions of the TAD-150. The one reviewed here is the Signature Series ($1537 USD), but TAD also offers a standard version ($1299) that forgoes about a dozen circuitry upgrades. Those of you whove paid attention to the tube-preamp market over the last few years might get the nagging feeling that youve seen the TAD-150 somewhere before. The likely reason is that Gryzbek has Audcom build the TAD-150 to his specs on the chassis of Audcoms AP-120 preamp, thereby saving a lot of tooling and manufacturing cost. Hes retained some of the Audcoms internal components, but has specified changes where they impacted sound quality. Once the TAD-150/AP-120 lands here in the States from China, Gryzbek completes the process by hand-finishing each unit with some proprietary circuit changes. The resulting tube/solid-state hybrid preamp is long on quality and short on price.
On first unpacking the TAD-150, my wife and I commented on how attractive it is. The champagne tint of the anodized-aluminum front panel is a shade or two lighter than the Cayin TA-30s but otherwise looks very similar. The power button is on the left, the volume and input controls on the right. In the center are two large windows, behind which reside a pair of backlit 12AT7 driver tubes in a chrome shadow box. (If youre into rolling tubes, the TAD-150 will also accept 12AX7s and 12AU7s.) There is a headphone jack directly under the power switch, and bright blue LED indicators for power, each of the four inputs, and the volume control. The remainder of the 21-pound preamp is encased in a heavy, textured, black-finished steel enclosure.
The TAD-150 provides switching for four source components via either the front-panel selector knob or the supplied remote control. One of the four inputs is a high-quality solid-state phono stage that works best with moving-magnet cartridges. The other three inputs and the phono stage run through the tube line stage on the way to two pairs of output jacks. The second pair of output jacks allow simple biamplification, or you can use them as dedicated subwoofer outputs -- a novel and useful feature for a tube preamp.
The rear panel sports heavy-duty, gold-plated RCA input and output jacks, a switch to select between MM and MC cartridges for the phono input, and a ground terminal. Power is supplied to the unit via a standard-grade, IEC-type removable power cord, allowing upgrades as desired. Among the features you cant see from the outside is the power supply: a toroidal transformer and two independent filter banks. The remote-control input relays are placed close to the input jacks to help shorten the audio signal path, and the motor-driven Alps volume control is isolated between a pair of triodes, thus providing fixed resistive input loads to the upstream source components.
I installed the TAD-150 on a shelf in my equipment rack and supported it with four Vibrapod Isolators. I connected an Adcom GCD-600 CD player ($600 a long time ago) and a Sony DVP-S755 SACD/CD player ($229) to a pair of the line inputs, and a Music Hall MMF-5 turntable ($629 with standard Goldring G1012 MM cartridge) to the Phono input for the duration of the test. Amplification was provided by the Cayin TA-30 integrated amp ($899) or a Chiro C-300 solid-state power amplifier ($1500). Loudspeakers were the Silverline Sonatinas. The TAD-150s ground post proved a bit too big for the relatively small spade on my turntables ground wire, requiring a bit of force to get the spades legs past the post for a solid connection. Other than this, setup was as simple as it gets.
The remote control is a basic affair: buttons for the four inputs, mute, and volume. My only quibble is that the remote adjusts the volume in unusually large increments, making it somewhat difficult to set the volume at just the right level. I could mostly sidestep this problem by lightly tapping on the volume-control buttons instead of giving them a normal press and release. The TAD-150s only other operational quirk was that it resets itself to the CD input each time its powered on. I cant imagine that anyone would have an issue with this, but it is a bit unusual in my experience.
On "Crazy," from Cassandra Wilsons Glamoured [CD, Blue Note 81860], the combo of TAD-150 and Cayin TA-30 provided tighter, deeper bass, with more punch from the kick bass, than Ive heard from any solid-state amp and preamp with the Silverlines. Wilsons finger snaps were suspended in space with near-perfect precision -- variations in placement of mere inches were distinctly audible. One weakness of the EL34 tube is lack of high-frequency extension, but with the TAD-150 in the system, this issue was almost entirely resolved, with plenty of extension to convincingly portray the breath of a female vocalist or the decay of a cymbal crash. All this, and the TAD retained the best characteristic of the EL34: deep, tight bass.
John Prine has been around the music scene about as long as I can remember, but while hes won much critical acclaim and respect, hes never enjoyed great commercial success. This has never seemed to bother him much, and when things went sour with Asylum he formed his own label and continued his work. His newest album, Fair & Square [CD, OhBoy OBR-034], is another fine example of the folksy, lyrical wit that weve come to expect from Prine. His voice, husky and at times a little craggy on "Some Humans Aint Human," came through the TAD-150 with such clarity that it sounded live.
The last time I was in Chicago, I ran across a nearly pristine MFSL Original Master Recording of the Modern Jazz Quartets Live at the Lighthouse at an incredible price [LP, Mobile Fidelity 1-090]. This was a special find -- Lighthouse is one of those albums that just doesnt sound the same on CD and/or solid-state. With the TAD-150 and Cayin TA-30 in the system, the decay of the notes of Milt Jacksons vibes took on a quality that no pairing of solid-state amp and preamp has been able to reproduce in my listening space.
Listening to recordings of classical music, I frequently noted a distinct layering of the instruments that I have not heard in my room with lesser equipment. This was evident on Brahms Symphony No.3 [CD, Deutsche Grammophon 492 765-2], where the violins just begin to show some separation in space. After Id added the TAD-150 to the system, the violins became more of a chorus of instruments than a single mass in the background. Before the TAD-150, I had not heard this on this disc.
For something completely different, I put Michael Nymans Sangam [Warner Bros. 59551-2] in the CD player. This work came about as an effort by the Asian Music Council and the British Council to produce a collaborative work by a contemporary British composer and leading Indian musicians. Many might find Sangam an acquired taste, but I rather enjoy it. The TAD-150 made "First Rain" come alive with amazing senses of soundstage depth and height. Furthermore, the Indian chant that runs throughout this movement produced a layering of voices Id never before heard from this track, much less from a product in this price class.
The TAD-150 replaced the preamp section of the Cayin TA-30 integrated tube amp ($800) in my current setup, this made possible by the fact that, at full volume, the Cayin is essentially a straight gain path. If you think you wouldnt be able to hear much difference with this type of setup, youd be wrong. As good as Tube Audio Designs modification of Cayins TA-30 is, the addition of the TAD-150 preamp opened up the soundstage, added depth, tightened up the bass response ever so slightly, and extended the top end. With the TA-30, Id been using an inexpensive external phono preamp left over from when I was using a cheaper turntable. The contest was over before it began: The TAD-150 produced deeper bass, better imaging and soundstage, and a much lower noise floor.
Ive had the Tube Audio Design TAD-150 on my review list for far too long. Once in a great while, a component comes along thats so involving that its review keeps getting postponed. I spend a lot of time listening to music in this system, but time after time, I put my laptop down so I could just sit and listen. Even as I type this conclusion, a CD is spinning in the player and Im bobbing my head to the music. For someone with my poor typing skills, this is something of an issue.
But with the TAD-150 in the system, I feel more connected to the music than I ever have before. And that, my friends, is what its all about. | 2019-04-21T06:57:49 | http://www.goodsound.com/equipment/tube_audio_design_tad150_signature.htm |

Pupil Premium funding, which is additional to the main school funding, is to be used to address inequalities between children eligible for free school meals (FSM) and those children who are not. This includes any child who has been registered for FSM at any point during the past 6 years. Its aim is to reduce the attainment gap between the highest and lowest achieving pupils nationally.
‘Schools, head teachers and teachers will decide how to use the Pupil Premium allocation, as they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for individual pupils”.
Schools also receive funding for children who have been looked after continuously for more than six months.
· We also recognise that not all pupils who are disadvantaged academically are registered or qualify for free school meals. We have many children who don’t qualify by a very narrow margin.
We will ensure that at least 75% of pupils included in any Pupil Premium funding will be made from children receiving free school meals or children who are looked after.
· All our work through Pupil Premium will be aimed at accelerating progress and moving children to at least age related expectations. Initially, this will be in communication, social and emotional development, English and mathematics.
Due to fairly high levels of pupil mobility, our Pupil Premium plan is reviewed regularly in line with adjustments to the funding we receive throughout the year. | 2019-04-24T18:05:03 | http://www.bentinckprimaryschool.co.uk/pupil-premium/ |

Flugelhorn, Cornet and Alto Clarinet player, composer and musical storyteller Matt Lavelle is a prominent member of the downtown music community in NYC. Playing Jazz in NYC since 1993, Lavelle has toured Europe 6 times to date. He began his music career with Hildred Humphries, a swing era veteran who played with Count Basie and Billie Holiday. In 2005, Lavelle began study with jazz legend Ornette Coleman, which had a tremendous transformational impact on him and led to his adding the alto clarinet as another voice. Lavelle was also instrumental in the recent resurgence of Jazz man Giuseppi Logan, an underground legend of the ‘60’s who had been missing for over 30 years, playing on and producing his comeback record.
In 2011 Lavelle created his 12 Houses Orchestra, comprised mostly of musicians he has collaborated with over a 20 year period in New York City. The 12 Houses has recorded for Unseen Rain and have performed ten concerts in New York City. In 2015 Lavelle co-leads an internationally acclaimed duo that he created called Harrmoldic Monk, which applies Ornette Coleman’s philosophy to the music of Thelonious Monk. He is also a member of the improvising, spontaneous composition trio entitled Sumari. Both of these projects have also recorded for Unseen Rain.
With over 15 appearances as a sideman on record, Lavelle has also released five records as a leader: Handling the Moment (2002), Trumpet Rising, Bass Clarinet Moon (2004), Spiritual Power (2006), Manifestation Drama (2009), and Goodbye New York, Hello World (2011) . In addition, Lavelle is a prolific blogger and writer. He published his first book, New York City Subway Drama and Beyond in 2011. Most recently, in 2013 Lavelle published a second book called The Jazz Musician’s Tarot Deck. Lavelle’s acclaimed blog That Fat Eb feels Mahagony to Me is currently under construction into transtion of a new website/blog called No Sound Left Behind. | 2019-04-22T14:53:55 | http://www.nosoundleftbehind.com/about-2/ |
A new report on the third sector in north east England draws on analytical material to provide “key statistics to improve sector intelligence” across the region. Part of the Northern Rock Foundation’s Third Sector Trends Study, it also gives headline statistics for each of its four sub-regions: Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, County Durham and Tees Valley.
This final report shows that the voluntary sector has in large part managed to sustain its work, despite enormous challenges and funding pressures over the last five years. Although the majority of voluntary organisations are keeping income levels stable and in some cases seen some rises, the picture is uneven with the poorest areas most likely to suffer reductions.

Nationally, Lloyds Bank Foundation (for England and Wales) has published ‘Expert Yet Undervalued and On the Front Line’, based on a survey of organisations receiving grants from the Foundation – some 800 small and medium sized charities. As reported by Civil Society News, just over 80 per cent of these are struggling to obtain enough funding and a further 63 per cent are “seriously worried” about ongoing income.

Monsterface to Rock Boston and Premiere our new LIVE DRUMMER!
For the first time in our five years as a band, Uncle Monsterface will perform our full set with our NEW LIVE DRUMMER. And we’re premiering it in our home town. Introducing Spooky Old Eric aka The Batman on the sticks, girls and boys. Take a poke for a nickel.
We are told that the show starts at 8sharp, as muzak must stop by midnight. We are also told that we are on 3rd, before those spazzy math-starz.
Because Facebook is sorta dumb in a lot of ways, there are two event pages, one set up by F-nice, the other by Math. Maybe we should do one, too?! Kooky Facebook. Anyways, make sure you tell it everything that you are doing in triplicate, or you will lose your life-license.

The next Show is rapidly approaching - it's on Saturday 14th June 2014 at the Show Ground, Stokesley, North Yorkshire, which is located just off the A172.
Over 200 Cars, Vans, Bikes, Tractors and Speciality Vehicles were assembled in the Showfield for the second Rotary Club of Stokesley ‘Classics on Show’on Saturday 15 June 2013.
Although the weather last year wasn't perfect, we only had a few light showers and it again stayed warm all day, enabling the ice cream vendors to achieve record sales figures. Over 180 exhibitors were registered and around 50 more just came along on the day and had a great time.
The Concours d'Elegance of vehicles by Class in the main Show Ring was a new feature for the 2013 Show, as was the Autojumble area. Both will be repeated in 2014.
The booking form to exhibit vehicle/s in 2014 (Sat 14 June) is now available on the official website and information will be posted on the website with more details when appropriate. | 2019-04-20T11:01:26 | http://www.stocktonteesside.co.uk/classics-on-show-stokesley-saturday-14-june-2014.html |
Hello Maja Design fans and friends! Nancy Hanttula here again, this time to share a layout, I created for my mom to give to her on Mother’s Day.
I used the gorgeous Vintage Spring Basics paper collection.
This is a photo of my maternal grandparents when they were young. I have been wanting to create a special layout using this photo for quite some time…specifically for my mom. And since she seldom (if ever) gets on-line to see my work, I feel quite safe that she won’t even see this until I can get it framed and wrapped up nicely for her on Mother’s day.
I dug deep into my stash for the embellishments I used on this. I covered a large chipboard circle that I have had for years (from Close to my Heart) with the paper “7th of April” …. then glued on brown ribbon, twirled loops of twine, flowers from Prima, Petaloo and Michaels, then added some extra bling with some bling brads from Creative Charms.
I added some texture by using modeling paste mixed with Apple Barrel acrylic paint in Flame Yellow to a Prima stencil on the upper left and lower right sides of the layout.
I framed the little bird that was already on the background paper, “1st of April”, with a little metal frame from Maya Road. I also layered some washi tape from Recollections in this corner in a little lacy brown and floral design.
I added some heart stamping using one of my little stampabilities wood mounted stamps.
I added some metal brad/buttons from Making Memories, layered over some inked up carnival tickets.
The pretty little purple flower sticker is from K & Co, and I added a little scrap I had punched for another project next to it (punched from Sommartider paper collection, paper, “Iskall saft” -bs). I also added some little fancy stick pins next to the flower.
I wove threads of pearls in and around the flowers of the circle, and bunched up and glued some animal print ribbon from Anna Griffin.
Specific papers used for this project included: Paper Collection Vintage Spring Basics: papers: 1st of April; 1st of March – bs; & 7th of April; and Sommartider paper collection: Iskall saft – bs.
Other supplies used but not already mentioned above, included: Tombow permanent adhesive; hot glue; Prima’s chalk ink/Ingvild in Shabby Tote, Coltsfoot, & Branch Bark; Martha Stewart border punch; Liquitex Modeling paste; burlap fabric; & cheesecloth.
Precious photo and fabulous layout. I’m sure your Mum will be delighted to receive it!
That is such a precious gift! I am sure she loved it.
She will love it…many wonderful details…so fabulous!!! | 2019-04-21T20:29:31 | http://majadesign.nu/grandpa-grandma-a-mothers-day-gift-vintage-spring-basics/ |
