Rufina, she has been here since late last year in a new home. Unfortunately, the lady she lives with has had to make the difficult decision to have Rufina rehomed due to health reasons which mean she is unable to exercise Rufina. Rufina has no recall, her owner has tried to train her using a long line, but she is very bird focused. On the lead she pulls unless she has a slip lead round her nose. Her owner feels Rufina would benefit living with someone someone who has a large garden fully enclosed, where she can run.
Rufina is very affectionate and cuddly, very calm in the house, great with other dogs and after a few lip curls and some firm no’s, she is great she now gets on with her family cats. Rufina has not had any children in the house but her owner doesn’t think this would be an issue. Rufina is let out to toilet every couple of hours but she will not ask to go out so will occasionally have an accident but this is not often. Rufina will need some training and would benefit living in an experienced home.
Rufina will come with 5 weeks FREE insurance and the full back up support of the wonderful Pointers In Need team.
Please contact us if you can give Rufina a new loving, forever home very soon.
Can you offer Rufina a loving new home? If you can help in any way please contact us.

In this series, Andy Stanley discusses the providential will of God, the moral will of God, and the personal will of God. He describes how God uses other people and the principles of scripture to guide us as we attempt to discover the personal vision God has for our lives. | 2019-04-20T08:32:44 | https://store.northpoint.org/products/discovering-gods-will-cd-series |
A lawsuit has been filed by a home gardener who used the weed-killer Roundup and was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
September 14, 2016 — A lawsuit has been filed by a home gardener who used the weed-killer Roundup and was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
The lawsuit was filed by Anthony Harris, a man from San Diego, California. He used Roundup “extensively” in his home garden from 2008-2010.
Monsanto is facing dozens of Roundup lawsuits involving agricultural workers, farmers, or professional landscapers. A growing number of cases involve home gardeners. One recent lawsuit involves a woman who used a backpack to spray Roundup on her one-acre property.
The number of lawsuits has grown substantially since glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, was declared a “probable human carcinogen” by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
Those conclusions were based on several studies linking Roundup with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which is a cancer that starts in the body’s immune system. One study estimated a 60% increased risk based on data from three large studies of American farmworkers.
The lawsuit was filed on September 8 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California — Case No. 3:16-cv-02275.

The Metropolitan Council, along with Hennepin and Ramsey counties, the City of Minneapolis and Metro CERTs, are recipients of the Environmental Initiative’s “Community Action” award. Their partnership brought together local governments under a single competitive procurement process that allowed them to subscribe to solar gardens and offset energy use at public facilities.
The initiative, called the “Governmental Solar Garden Subscriber Collaborative,” involved a group of 31 government partners. The group jointly solicited competitive proposals from solar vendors who offered solar participation via subscription, rather than local governments installing solar panels on their own property.
Under the Minnesota solar garden program, developers site, design, own, and operate solar installations. Households, businesses, institutions and governments can subscribe to a portion of the power produced.
The power generated from the solar gardens flows to an electric utility; the subscriber receives a credit on its electric bill from the utility, based on the energy generated and the size of the subscription.
The collaborative offered local governments the chance to participate in solar gardens without having to do all the legwork themselves.
“The solar collaborative took the costs of financing, the technology, and installation, as well as the procurement process, off the hands of local officials,” said project manager Jason Willett. “All they had to do is subscribe, so that was a big incentive for local governments to participate.
Together, the cities and counties contracted for a total of 33 megawatts. Annually, 33 megawatts can offset the energy used in 6,000 homes, saving residential customers collectively about $7 million, or commercial customers about $4 million. In addition, the Council and some local governments received substantial follow-up offers from vendors for additional solar subscriptions that added significantly to the savings and solar advancement, Willett said.
Environmental Initiative, formerly Minnesota Environment Initiative, is a nonprofit organization that builds "partnerships to develop collaborative solutions to Minnesota’s environmental problems."
The Council's solar garden effort and projects, which includes solar panels at the Blue Lake and Empire Plants, was featured in the Council news, "New solar gardens at wastewater treatment plant boost state's solar power" (December 2016).

This is my first card with last months new PTI Year of Flowers Rose and it owes more than a few shakes to this gorgeous card of Maile Belle's. As soon as I saw it I had to try it.
I coloured the rose and leaves with copic markers and the sentiment comes from Damask Designs.
Here is a little close up of the rose - I have many roses but this is my favourite so far - it's just so big!
As I used my circle nestabilities to die cut the white circle (love that white space) I'm slipping it in for the latest challenge over at a Passion for Papertrey - please do go check out what the girls have made!
Beautiful! Love the coloring of the rose.
Absolutely gorgeous! Love your coloring of the rose and the colors you used on your card.
Just lovely, Chris! I do like how you offset the rose and bud with the circle! Oh, and the buttons!
Simply beautiful!!! I'm in awe of your Copic talent; it's like that rose is real!
Thanks so much for your kind words about our blog and for joining in with our challenge!
That coloring is fantastic - - what a pretty card...and love the addition of the buttons!
Your coloring is fantastic and i like how you added the buttons. Very pretty. Greetings from Germany !
Wow! Awesome job on that coloring. Great card.
What a lovely, elegant card.
Simply beautiful card Chris! Just love that white circle behind the rose and those buttons finish it off to perfection!
This is so beautiful. Your coloring with Copics is just wonderful. The card design is very special too!
WOW...your coloring is fabulous! I love this card. | 2019-04-23T02:35:55 | http://purple-peonies.blogspot.com/2010/07/year-of-flowers-roses.html |

The goal of establishing the zoo was to educate the general public and other guests about Icelandic farm animals, shed light on Icelandic farming practices, and strengthen the connections between people and animals. The educational program department has thus been active since the zoo's founding. There are courses on offer for kindergartens and primary schools, either in the form of guided tours or hands on learning. We really encourage teachers to actively take part on class trips and be readily accessible to the zoo's staff. We therefore ask teachers to prepare well for their visit, so that the field trip can be as productive as possible education-wise.
The educational program department's staff are responsible for course bookings. It's best to plan visits well in advance. If a teacher foresees any issues that might occur due to limits on the number of participants or regarding accessibility, we strongly recommend that they get in touch with us. We'll try to find a solution.
The current contract between the School and Extracurricular Activities Division of Reykjavík (SFS) and the Park and Zoo (FHG) entitles the city's primary schools to take advantage of the FHG educational program and to access to the park itself, free of charge. Schools from outside Reykjavík pay in accordance with the rate list that can be found on the next page.
All of the main Icelandic farm animals can be seen at the Park and Zoo. Kindergartners are welcome to come and visit them, get acquainted with the ones living here and be taught about their family units, main uses, and their typical physical characteristics. The maximum number of students per guide is 20. We can accommodate two groups at once of any age.
The zoo doesn't just have the everyday animals you'd find living on a farm. There are insects, amphibians and reptiles too. Brave kids are welcome to get to know them better and the very bravest can even handle the insects, if they muster the courage. The maximum number of students per guide is 10. We can accommodate two groups at once of all ages, though it's worth noting this field trip is better suited to older students.
All age groups can come to the zoo and get a guided tour that takes about an hour. If a specific topic is being covered at the school, for example, sheep, birds or something similar, then it's just a matter of getting in touch with the educational program department to accordingly prepare. The maximum number of students per group is 20. We can accommodate 2–3 groups at one time.
At most primary schools, farm animals are covered in the third grade. That's why we offer educational programming on animals for this age group where we focus on how the animals live and what we use them for. This course, which is the form of a guided tour, lasts an hour. The maximum number of students per group is 26 and we can accommodate 2–3 groups at once.
All age groups can come to the zoo and receive a guided tour which lasts about an hour. If a specific topic is being covered at the school, then it's just a matter of getting in touch with the educational program department to accommodate that accordingly. The maximum number of students per group is 26 and we can accommodate 2 groups at once.
Students are given the opportunity to participate in tending to the animals, as well as learning about them and agricultural jobs. This is done in three groups: the barn group, horse and sheep shed group, and the wild animals group. At the end of the program, the groups prepare and then present the work they did. The work mornings are offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Students meet at 7:45 a.m. and the program concludes around 11:00 a.m. It's possible to order hot cocoa and waffles for ISK 350 per person. This service must be specially ordered with at least one week's notice. The max number of student participants at each work morning session is 24.
During this program, which is instructed in the form of a guided tour, we'll visit both the wild and farm animals while considering how they sense their environments in different ways. In addition to that, we slip in some facts and knowledge about the animals to the students. The maximum number of students per group is 26 and we can accommodate 2 groups at one time.

Insects, amphibians and reptiles play the main role in this program. Their habitats and adaptability are discussed and the animals themselves are of course also examined. The program takes an hour. The maximum number of students at one time is 20. The maximum number of students in a group is 20 and one group at a time.
An exciting program for the oldest students in primary school. During this program, the ways of life and behavior of wild Icelandic mammals are covered. The program takes about an hour and is in the form of a guided tour. The maximum number of students per group is 26 and we can accommodate 2 groups at one time.
Kindergartens from outside Reykjavík pay for the program plus entrance fees in accordance with the rate list.

The commands given below are used to copy areas of text and insert them at some other point in the buffer. Note that there is no corresponding "Cut and paste" section in the command references, so direct cross references have been included with each command.
When cutting and pasting, the first thing to do is to copy the region of text to be moved. This is done by taking the cursor to the beginning of the piece of text to be copied and pressing Ctrl+Space to set a mark, and then taking the cursor to the end of the text and pressing Ctrl+W . This kills the region between the current point and the mark but keeps a copy of the killed text. This copy can then be inserted anywhere in the buffer by putting the cursor at the required position and then pressing Ctrl+Y to insert the copied text.
If the original text is to be copied but not killed, use the command Alt+W instead of Ctrl+W. This copies the text ready for insertion, but does not delete it.
Set a mark for a region. See Marks and regions.
Kill the region between the mark and current point, and save a copy of that region. See Deleting and killing text.
Copy the region between the mark and the current point. See Deleting and killing text.
Insert (yank) a copied region before the current point. See Inserting text. | 2019-04-21T12:07:23 | http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw61/EDUG-W/html/eduser-w-31.htm |
If you have always aspired to have your own hole, a small German town can make your dream come true.
A small village in eastern Germany will sell potholes to finance the repair of its roads damaged by severe winter frost.
The official site of the village offers a wide range of holes for €50 ($68) each. In return, the local authorities promise to fix it and place on its top the buyer's name and a message of their choice.
So far, the holes have sold like hotcakes – television channels and newspapers immediately jumped on the idea, hoping to advertise and make people associate their brands with high level of social responsibility.
Village officials and local residents have also readily supported the initiative.
The idea could catch on. Experts say that months of severe winter weather have badly damaged as many as 40 percent of Germany's roads. According to the German Drivers Club, local authorities will need more than €3 billion to fix the situation – a huge sum given the recession. | 2019-04-20T10:32:01 | https://www.rt.com/news/german-town-sell-potholes/ |

An assortment of strange and wonderful celestial bodies lie within the boundaries of our Solar System. Planets are of particular interest to amateur astronomers and professional scientists alike. Perhaps it has to do with how varied each is, or how they are the astronomical bodies we can relate to most. After all, our home is a planet. Our fascination also stems from our wanderlust; hoping to travel to planets both near and far, especially if anything should ever happen to the Earth. Lastly, there is the hope that by studying planets – and astronomy at large – we may discover intelligent life and prove we are not alone in this vast cosmos.
There are eight planets orbiting the Sun, also known as major planets to distinguish them for dwarf planets and other planetoids. These planets can be divided into three classes of planets: terrestrial/ rocky/ telluric, gas giants, and ice giants. The terrestrial planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars; the gas giants are Jupiter and Saturn; and the ice giants are Uranus and Neptune.
With Earth being a rocky planet, it is both interesting and important to study the other three terrestrial planets. Learning about the rocky planets reveals much about the creation of the Solar System, and the evolution of the Earth.
This guide to the terrestrial planets includes extensive facts about each of the rocky planets, including our own.
The terrestrial planets in the Solar System are also the four innermost and smallest planets. They are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. They share fundamental characteristics that define them as terrestrial planets. The internal structure of the terrestrial planets is the same. Each has a metallic core that is rich in iron and surrounded by a mantle of silicate. They all have solid surfaces which share many of the same features including canyons, craters, mountains, valleys and volcanoes.
Terrestrial planets also have a secondary atmosphere which sets them apart from the gas and ice giants. The atmosphere of giant planets formed as part of the planet, from the materials the Solar System was created from. The secondary atmosphere of rocky planets is a result of volcanic activity and comets impacting the planets billions of years ago.
Some of the Solar System’s natural satellites also share these features with rocky planets. The Moon is an obvious example; it has a similar internal structure to Earth but with a much smaller core. Two of the Galilean moons, Europa and Io, have internal structures resembling that of rocky planets. The Solar System’s dwarf planets have solid surfaces too, but their internal composition is much different from terrestrial planets.
Mercury has quite a few distinctions. Named after the messenger god of Roman mythology, it is the closest planet to the Sun, and the smallest planet in the Solar System. Although it is smaller than some of the larger natural satellites of other planets, it does have more mass than they do. Its proximity to the Sun means it has the shortest orbital period of all planets – both major and dwarf – at 87.97 earth days in one Mercurian year.
From Earth, we can only ever see Mercury early in the morning and early in the evening, as it appears to follow the Sun. It can reach apparent magnitudes that makes it brighter than Sirius (the brightest star). However, it can sometimes be hard to observe the planet because of the Sun’s glare. Mercury can be seen very clearly during a total solar eclipse. With the right protective filters, we can also watch Mercury transit the Sun (pass in front of the Sun’s disc). The Hubble Space Telescope cannot observe Mercury at all, for pointing that close to the Sun could harm the instrument.
Like Venus, it is an inferior planet or interior planet (relative to Earth); meaning that their orbits lie within the orbit of another planet. The planet undergoes phases, like the Moon, which can be viewed telescopically.
The planet’s core is in three parts: a solid outer core of iron sulphide, a deeper liquid core, and a solid inner core. Its size compared to its density suggests a core very rich in iron – a higher iron content than any other planet. Studies show that the core alone may make up 35% of the planet’s volume.
The most accepted theory to why this is suggests an impact with another large rocky body stripped the planet of most of its crust and mantle. It is also possible that Mercury may have formed before the Sun’s energy output has stabilized. Being so close to the Sun, the extreme temperature of this environment would vaporise rock.
Surface geology of the planet closely resembles the Moon, especially with its plains and heavy cratering. Evidence shows that Mercury was bombarded by comets and asteroids shortly after its formation over four and a half billion years ago. Unlike the Moon, the planet’s stronger surface gravity lessens the areas affected by impacts. However, craters do range in size from small shaped bowls to basins hundreds of kilometres across. Though the planet once had volcanic activity, it has been geologically inactive for billions of years.
Surface features get their names from different sources. Craters are named for deceased artists, musicians and authors who have all had significant impacts in their respective fields. Ridges are named for scientists who contributed to our knowledge of Mercury, and depressions after works of architecture. Montes are named after the word ‘hot’ in several languages, whereas plains get their names for the word ‘Mercury’ in several languages. Escarpments are named for ships of scientific expeditions, and valleys get their names after radio telescope facilities.
Surface temperatures on the planet range from -173 to 427 degrees Celsius (-280 to 800 degrees Fahrenheit). Despite these soaring temperatures, craters at the planet’s north pole seem to contain water ice. This is likely because the deep crater floors never receive direct sunlight. Mercury is too small and too hot to have any significant atmosphere, but it does have an exosphere rich in various gases and elements. The planet also has a magnetosphere which is strong enough to protect it from solar winds.
Mercury’s orbit is the most eccentric of all the planets (its orbit is the most deviated from a perfect circle). It also has a very strange and rare rotation. It rotates about its own axis thrice for every two revolutions around the Sun!
Mercury has no natural satellites. The planet has been visited by the spacecraft MESSENGER and by Marina 10 in a flyby.
Venus is named after the Roman goddess of beauty and love. Also known as the Evening Star and the Morning Star, it has long been of fascination and inspiration for all of humanity’s cultures through the ages. It is the second brightest object in the night sky – outshined only by the Moon. Its apparent magnitude can reach a luminous -4.9. This is bright enough to see clearly in midday Sun! Considering its brilliance, it really is no wonder that it was the first planet to have its motion across the sky plotted. It also comes as no surprise that misinformed observers often report Venus as an UFO because of how bright it is!
Like Mercury, Venus is an inferior or interior planet; and like Mercury (and the Moon) Venus undergoes phases that we can observe telescopically from Earth. Venus also transits the Sun’s disc, an event that you can observe yourself with the correct protective filters. It is indeed beautiful to behold – as its name suggests. But don’t be fooled: underneath all that beauty is a planet ravaged by one of the most hostile environments in the Solar System.
Venus is often referred to as Earth’s ‘sister planet’ because the planets are most similar in size and mass, though that is definitely where the comparison ends (if anything, Mars and Earth are more like twins). For one, the atmospheric pressure is 92 times greater than on Earth. For another, Venus is scorching. It is the hottest planet in the Solar System, despite Mercury being closest to the Sun. Its dense atmosphere – the densest atmosphere of all four terrestrial planets – is made up of 96% carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas. In this regard, understanding Venus is a very important study for what can happen to Earth if we continue to disrupt our climate with carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels. Temperatures at the planet’s surface reach 462 degrees Celsius (863 degrees Fahrenheit). It is believed that there was once liquid water of Venus until the runaway greenhouse effect caused it all to be evaporated.
Venus can experience strong winds of up to 300 kilometres per hour (185 miles per hour). About 80% of the Venusian surface is covered by smooth volcanic plains. There is strong evidence of volcanism, and what’s more is that such activity may be quite recent and/ or ongoing. One indication of this is the thick clouds of sulphuric acid in the planet’s atmosphere. Venus is also divided into two ‘continents’ which make up the rest of the planet’s surface; one on each hemisphere (north and south).
Oddly enough, The Venusian surface is littered with very few impact craters, suggesting that the surface is still relatively young – a few hundred million years at most. Another enigma is the lack of lava flows despite active or recent volcanism.
Scientists do not know much about Venus’ internal structure, but look to the similarities in size and density with Earth to draw logical conclusions about its build. Venus most likely has a core, mantle and crust; but lacks real evidence of plate tectonics, suggesting that the crust is particularly strong. The planet has a very weak magnetic field; lacking a magnetosphere and meaning that the planet is exposed to solar winds and cosmic radiation. One theory as to why the magnetic field is so weak suggests that Venus may lack a solid core.
The planet has a small axial tilt of approximately 3 degrees, meaning that the temperature across the planet is more or less constant and even. The only real temperature differences occur with changing altitude.
All planets orbit about the Sun in an anticlockwise direction when viewed from Earth’s North Pole. Most planets also rotate in a counter clockwise direction, but Venus rotates clockwise in retrograde rotation. It has the slowest rotation of the planets at 243 days. Venus orbits around the Sun every 224.7 earth days, so a day on Venus is longer than a Venusian year! Venus also has the most circular orbit of the planets.
Like Mercury, Venus has no natural satellites. Planetary scientists believe Venus may have had at least one moon, but that it was destroyed by a large impact event billions of years ago. It does however have several Trojan asteroids (asteroids lying in its orbital path, but that remain in fixed positions rather than orbiting the planet).
There have been several spacecraft sent to explore Venus in flybys, orbits, and landings including the Soviet Venera programs, the U.S Mariner programs, and the NASA Pioneer projects. The Venus Express of the European Space Agency entered the planet’s orbit from 2006 to 2014, and Japan’s Akatsuki has been in orbit around Venus since December 2015.
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun, and the second smallest planet in the Solar System after Mercury. It was named for the Roman god of war, and with its blood red appearance it is easy to see why. For this same reason, it is commonly called the ‘Red Planet’. The planet’s red colouring clearly distinguishes it from others in the night sky, even to the naked eye. Iron oxide (rust) on Mars’ surface is what gives it this rouge hue. Mars is still quite a colourful planet. It shows gold, brown, tan, and even green surface features depending on the minerals present.
It is the fourth brightest object in the night sky after the Moon, Venus, and Jupiter. Its apparent magnitude can be as bright as -2.91. Ground based telescopic views can resolve Martian features around 300 kilometres (190 miles) across.
Though Venus is sometimes called Earth’s sister planet because of its similar size and mass, Earth has more in common with Mars than any other planet we know of so far. Its surface features resemble both the Moon with various impact craters, and the Earth’s with deserts, valleys and polar ice caps among other features. Mars is home to the largest volcano in the Solar System, Olympus Mons, which may be the tallest or second tallest mountain in the Solar System based on different methods of measuring. One of the largest canyons in the Solar System, Valles Marineris, is also found on the Red Planet.
Mars is only about half the diameter of Earth, far less dense (due to the planet being much less massive), and has around 38% less surface gravity than Earth. Around 40% of the Martian surface is covered by a smooth basin (the Borealis basin) on the planet’s northern hemisphere, which may be the result of a great impact with a large body.
The planet has a dense metallic core made primarily of iron and nickel, and containing sulphur too. A mantle of silicate surrounds the core. It formed many of the planet’s tectonic and volcanic features, but now appears to be dormant. The Martian crust is rich in elements: aluminium, calcium, iron, magnesium, oxygen, potassium and silicon. Observations shows that the planet’s crust may have once been magnetized, though presently there is no evidence of a magnetic field covering the planet. Despite lacking a magnetosphere, mars does experience aurora, due to multiple little magnetic pockets which may be the remains of a decayed magnetic field from billions of years ago.
While a Martian year is significantly longer than an Earth year (687 earth days), it is closest to Earth in rotation and tilt. A Martian day is 24 hours, 39 minutes, and 35.24 seconds. The planet is tilted on its axis by 25.19 degrees, and experiences seasons very much like Earth’s. The planet has an interesting weather system, including having the largest dust storms in the Solar System. These storms can be small or large enough to cover the entire planet.
Mars has the most natural satellites of the rocky planets: two moons named Phobos and Deimos. They are quite small and irregularly shaped, and are thought to be captured asteroids.
Features on Mars get their names from a wide selection of sources including deities from classical mythology, deceased scientists and writers, tiny towns and villages on Earth, and the words for ‘Mars’ and ‘star’ in different languages.
Mars lies within the habitable zone – a region around a star (not too close or too far) in which a planet could harbour life. There is plenty of evidence suggesting that Mars may have once hosted life, or that life may still exist on the planet. Data collected from the planet by Phoenix shows that Martian soil is slightly alkaline and contains nutrients also present in Earth soils, and which are essential for plant growth. Landforms visible on the planet’s surface strongly indicate the presence of liquid water at one stage of the planet’s history, though permanent liquid water is now impossible due to Mars’ low atmospheric pressure (only 1% of Earth’s).
However, we do know that the Martian polar ice caps are made up of 70% water ice. Studies suggest that if all the frozen water of the southern ice cap were melted, the entire planet would be covered in water 11 meters (36 feet) deep. Opportunity also discovered jarosite on the planet’s surface; a mineral which can only form in the presence of acidic water.
Dozens of spacecraft from a number of countries have flown by, orbited, and landed on Mars. It currently hosts eight spacecraft – six in orbit and two on the planet. In orbit are: 2001 Mars Odyssey, Mars Express, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, MAVEN, Mars Orbiter Mission and ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter. The Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity and the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity roam the Martian surface.
Professionals of all fields have long thought to send humans to Mars – a challenging and expensive mission – and still hope to in the near future.
Planet Earth – our home. Without any doubt, our planet is the most fascinating, beautiful, and mysterious of them all. Of every astronomical object ever discovered, studied and explored, Earth is the only one we know of that has life.
The Earth formed roughly 4.5 billion years ago with the rest of the Solar System. The word earth has roots in all Germanic languages, and the planet has been personified as a deity in a number of cultures. The rocky planet is the third in the Solar System, and is 150 million kilometres (93 million miles) from the Sun. A day on our planet is approximately 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.0989 seconds, and a year on Earth is 365.2564 days.
We have one natural satellite: the Moon. The Moon is a large, terrestrial natural satellite. It is suggested that the Moon was formed from materials ejected by our planet after a violent collision with a Mars –sized body (Theia). The relationship is a very special one. The gravitational attraction of the bodies is what causes the ocean’s tides. The Moon is tidally locked, meaning that its rotational period around its axis is the same as its orbital period around Earth. This causes the same side of the Moon to always face Earth. The Sun illuminates different parts of the Moon as it orbits Earth, causing the Moon’s phases. It’s good to note that despite how these phases appear to us, half the Moon is always lit by the Sun. Another unique feature of our Moon is that the apparent size of its disc matches the apparent size of the Sun’s disc. This means that the Moon can completely obscure the Sun when they align, causing a total solar eclipse.
Earth is made up of aluminium (1.4%), calcium (1.5%), iron (32.1%), magnesium (13.9%), nickel (1.8%), oxygen (30.1%), silicon (15.1%), sulphur (2.9%), and the remainder is made up of trace elements. The Earth’s core is comprised of 88% iron. Earth has a solid inner core and a liquid outer core, layered by a mantle which supports an outer layer of silicate crust.
The Earth’s magnetic field is generated at the planet’s core, and extends outwards up to the Earth’s surface, and defining the magnetosphere which protects our planet from solar wind and cosmic radiation. Solar winds interacting with the planet’s magnetosphere is what causes the beautiful dancing aurora (the northern and southern lights).
The crust and upper mantle form tectonic plates which move relative to each other. Tectonic plates can come together, pull apart, or slide passed one another. Earthquakes, mountain formations, oceanic trenches and volcanic activity can all occur as a result of these movements.
The Earth’s oceans were formed by a combination of volcanic activity and outgassing (when trapped, dissolved or frozen gas is released). The oceans cover 70% of the Earth’s surface, setting Earth apart as a ‘Blue Planet’ conducive to life. The remaining part of the surface is varied and busy. There are canyons, continental shelves, mountains, plateaus, ridge systems, trenches, volcanoes and an assortment of other geological features.
Also crucial to the Earth being habitable are our atmosphere and the 23.44 degree tilt of the planet’s axis. This tilt produces seasons on Earth. The Earth is tilted toward the Sun during summer months. The days are longer, the Sun rises higher in the sky, and the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth is more direct. The opposite is true in winter months. The effect of the tilt on seasons is most visible and most extreme the Polar Regions, where the Sun does not set for nearly half a year, and does not rise for the other half. It is because of the tilt that we also experience the summer and winter solstice (longest and shortest days of the year), and spring and autumnal equinoxes (all of earth experiences equally long days).
The composition of our atmosphere is mostly nitrogen, followed by oxygen, argon, carbon dioxide and water vapour. Oxygen is essential for us to breathe, and the amount of carbon is equally important. As a greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide helps the Earth retain the Sun’s heat. Without it, the planet would be too frigid for life. However, too much of it causes disruptions in our climate that are devastating to life. Venus is the perfect example of a runaway greenhouse effect. By burning fossil fuels, we are warming our planet to abnormal degrees. It is our responsibility as custodians of this planet to clean up our ways.
The variety of life on Earth is truly outstanding. We have found weird and wonderful creatures in every nook and cranny of the planet. As much as the Earth is a life bearing planet, it is also a dangerous killer. Tropical cyclones, hurricanes, typhoons, landslides, tsunamis, sinkholes, blizzards, droughts, wildfires and a range of other extreme occurrences claim the lives of many. There have been near extinction events from massive volcanic eruptions; and manmade disasters such as deforestation, hunting and exploiting life and resources to extinction, and global warming.
The fact that there are other terrestrial planets in the Solar System gives us hope that somewhere in our galaxy there may be other earths teeming with life. For now, this is our only home – a beautiful and perfect one – and we should do everything in our power to keep it that way. | 2019-04-18T16:36:21 | https://telescopeobserver.com/terrestrial-planets/ |
So I logged on and I see that WordPress changed our Dashboard.
It’s not bad I guess.
Anyways, it’s do or die night for the Ottawa Senators tonight against Boston. If Ottawa wins, their spot in the playoffs is secure.
Last night was a great game except for Alfreddson and Mike Fisher’s injuries. Tonight’s game should be interesting. It’s almost game time.
So one person commented on my last post.
I guess that means I’ll decide for myself. I’m not sure when. Perhaps I’ll never tell you people about my next Blog.
Anyways, the Sens beat the Leafs 8-2. I watched the game at a Movie Theatre, which was pretty fun. | 2019-04-19T18:39:37 | https://ryanlythall.wordpress.com/tag/national-hockey-league/ |

Review After being hosted with tsohost for many years, it was the right time to move just after the buyout from Godaddy. Slow servers, poor support and constant websites going down.
We moved 47 websites to Speedydot, a UK Hosting company, UK staff and UK servers. They moved everything over for us, gone over board and honestly it's been a 5/5 experience. I'd advise anyone with TSOHost to do the same and contact Speedydot to see how they can help you.
jon · 5 months ago.
I have now been 4 days without a website and emails and have now managed to go back to my original settings which no longer work properly. Everytime you talk to someone its a different person, who then tells you something else..
I just want my sites to work.. I am not a webmaster.
If my car breaks down I go to a mechanic, why do they assume if my website goes down that I will know all the computer jargon needed to fix it?
Don't even bother, their support is a joke.
Alan Wooler · 9 months ago.
Review I have been with TsoHost (used to be Vidahost) for many years now. 3 days ago all my sites went down and once I found out I complained. They said the Server I was on had crashed and they were trying to fix it. 5 hours later I called them again and they said it was still down with no ETA for a fix. They said I could be migrated to a new server as the one I was on was very old and soon to be decommissioned. I agreed, then they said it would be 3 business days for the migration. Since I was told about the migration the next day, all of my sites will be offline for 4 days. No compensation, nothing, they didn't seem to care. The support is in Bulgaria as they moved it from being UK support a while ago. That is when it started to go downhill. I will be moving companies as soon as I can, as Tshost is a joke. DO NOT GO WIT THEM!
Pros They have cpanel which is good.
Cons Support use useless, they don't know what they are doing and mess things up all the time.
Summit · 11 months ago.
Review It is not simply a case of a bad hosting company and a negative review. We are a British company based in Hong Kong and had not only used TSO for years, we also recommended them to all our business friends. After all, how many hosting companies can you call on the phone, have a real person to assist and solve any issue you may have. This was TSO. However, this is NOT TSO anymore. They have been bought by GoDaddy and ever since, their services seem to be administered from some location in Eastern Europe in addition to Russia. They are not, as previously, a UK company based in Slough.
It is a shame that once such a friendly hosting company could allow itself to drop to sub-standard. This review permits a minimum score of zero. I feel this is not representative of TSO as they have plummeted to below zero. Our business has suffered terribly due to TSO and I would sincerely request anyone looking for hosting to look elsewhere.
It is my fervent hope that the previous TSO owners and staff read these comments and see what has happened to all their hard work.
Pros None. A year ago I would have been writing paragraphs extolling the benefits of using TSO.
Cons Too many to list here. It is rather simple. Just don't touch this company.
Janette Sedgebeer · 1 years ago.
Review TSO Host UK were recommended to us by a web development trainer and we transferred our three websites in Summer 2018.
Since November 2018, we have found TSO Host UK's performance to have deteriorated to an unacceptable level with slow or no response from their Technical Support team by telephone or via Live Chat.
Regrettably, TSO Host UK is not to be recommended.
Cons One questions whether TSO Host UK's service is value for money or whether the service is above market prices in light of the standard of service received.
ANDREW MCFADYEN · 1 years ago.
Review Been over two months now that customers with hotmail,yahoo, aol and some other email accounts cannot receive emails from our site hosted by TSO,apparently it is something to do with Microsoft blocking TSO servers. I have requested help several times,or if they have a work around third party email redirection, to be told they don't know when this will be resolved, and have nothing to help the situation.
Such a good service previously now very very poor, i'm afraid i can no longer continue with these issues.
Philip James · 1 years ago.
Review This used to be a fantastic hosting company with great service and an even better reputation, however all this has changed over the last 12 months and support is diabolically slow and it can often take over a week to simply get a site restored from a back up.
My sites have been down for almost a month now and still no resolution in site.
I would not recommend this hosting company, even to my worst enemy.
Paul · 1 years ago.
they moved us too the cloud and screwed that up, site was not displaying correctly, they fixed it but with everything happening didnt fill me with joy and trust, especially as one staff member said "we arent PHP orientated"
Cons Overloaded databases/servers / under-providing, trying to "scrape the barrel"
37 sites down for three days and counting.
Nick Hayes · 2 years ago.
Review Reseller hosting should be supported with urgency and consideration. We however have none.
Our sites have been down for almost three days and there is no fix in sight.
When we finally get any kind of response from them - 12 hours later it does not help.
I don't care what the problem is with equipment, I pay for hosting of my domains and a 99.9% uptime promise. Get it fixed and start to show you care. | 2019-04-22T12:22:49 | https://top5hosting.co.uk/review/tsohost |

World's FIRST: Optometrist helps his own children, avoid myopia entry.
I do consider that "just prevention" is very difficult. For that reason, I do not allow myself to become a critic of an optometrist.
Here is Optometrist Antonio Medina, and his wisdom, to insist that his own two children wear a plus, correctly, before their refractive STATE goes below 0.0 diopters (so called emmetropia).
Some "Jargon" is used, in optometry. The word, "Hyperopia", sounds like a defect. It is not, it is a positive STATE of the natural eye, when understood as science.
Here is the seven page description of how Antonio kept his kids wearing the plus for 9 years.
While the results are very clear, since Antonio made the measurements, it is also clear that the general public (you and I) would reject the concept of wearing a plus for "just prevention".
But this is the first time that an OD, or anyone has truly conducted a scientific effort, that is successful.
Re: World's FIRST: Optometrist helps his own children, avoid myopia entry.
What Antonio's results suggest, about Todd's use of the plus, and passing the 20/40 line, and then the 20/20 line - under your control.
Todd's success - is made credible by the fact that an optometrist saw in advance that his children would become myopic, unless they wore a plus, long-term for prevention.
The only objective measurement required, is that you not be "deeper" than 20/50, and you make your own refractive measurements. Getting a positive refractive change, of +3/4 diopters, is a VERY SLOW PROCESS, not for those with a casual interest.
Antonio's work, shows that he had no fear of his kids wearing a plus. There is no harm from wearing a plus correctly. That is the lesson we should learn from Antonio. | 2019-04-24T08:15:52 | http://forum.gettingstronger.org/index.php?topic=1343.0 |

Many of us love our older homes but just don’t have the space we need to live comfortably. Renovations can be daunting, but with the right partners you can create new space for you and your family. Often, customers ask us to help them understand the possibility of renovating existing attic space, creating new bedrooms for kids, or a quiet sitting space to relax. We’re experts at completing refinishing projects like, and insulation is the critical component that will ensure a better level of temperature control in your home as well as noticeable energy savings.
Better gain from the outside solar heat: Insulation works to regulate the temperature inside your home and can actually help you to generate more heat when you need it. An attic renovation can improve the heat gain for your home helping you save money on your energy bills.
Energy efficiency: While helping you save money, insulation also does a better job at keeping the temperature in your home or regulated and this means less hard work needs to be done by your furnace and air conditioning system. This means in the long run the renovation could account for significant savings on your energy bills.
Less chance for wear: Older style insulation loses it’s effectiveness over time. New spray foam insulation is much more effective, provides an even coating that will not shift over time and resilient and resistant to moisture and mold.
Noise dampening: As old insulation in your home grows thinner, you lose some of the noise dampening qualities that occur from room to room. Installing new insulation works to provide noise dampening for the rooms in your home.
Recently, our professional team worked with a customer who decided to take a 3rd floor attic in Roland Park and transform it into a quiet and livable space for their kids. We started by removing the current rock wool and debris that was in the attic floor with removal vacuums. After the workspace was clean we sprayed Icynene Open Cell to the rafters and the gable walls to make a energy-efficient encapsulated 3rd floor living space. The result is a well insulated, air sealed, building envelope that will save energy and make the home comfortable for years to come. | 2019-04-22T15:09:22 | https://www.cameronhomeinsulation.com/roland-park-attic-retrofit/ |
This article was originally published on Sojourners, on February 19, 2019.
Two days after a brutal workplace shooting in the Chicago suburb of Aurora, where five were killed and six were injured, over 1,000 people joined together for a prayer vigil at the Henry Pratt Company plant, filling the street near the building where the shooting occurred. As several local pastors shared prayers with the huge gathering of mourners, the only sounds that broke the silence between prayers were quiet sobs. Beside a gate connected to the plant, people placed flowers, candles, and signs.
As I quietly joined the prayers that local clergy were offering, I was reminded of what matters most to those suffering in the wake of mass trauma.
1. God draws near to the brokenhearted. When Rev. Dan Hass began the service, he echoed the words of the Psalmist, “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18). He reminded those present of God’s steadfast faithful love that is poured out in a particular way on those who have endured suffering. In the wake of crises, people often struggle to make sense of God’s presence or absence in the midst of chaos. Scripture confirms that God is near.
2. Strength is found in community. The jarring impact of a disaster — both the ones we see coming and the kind we never dreamed of — is isolation. This is most obvious when a sufferer loses a loved one or spouse, as was the case in this senseless tragedy. But it is no less true when a community shares the same loss. Yet, when communities come together to name and grieve a shared loss, the whole community is strengthened. Even online communities can help individuals as they grieve. Joining with like-minded people through causes such as Prayers & Action — and by signing the Prayers & Action petition — unites people from all walks of life with the mission of praying to end senseless acts of gun violence in America.
3. Lament is required. For people of faith, when tragedy strikes it can be tempting to rush past the confusion, pain, and loss in an attempt to assure ourselves and others that God has a plan. And while I believe in, and have personally experienced, God’s redemption in the midst of suffering, the reality is that for thorough and authentic healing, people need space to lament. It happened in Aurora, as a community lamented lives that had been cut short too early, grieving for the gifts of those lost that would never be shared with the world. It can happen in churches across the country on Sunday morning. The Bible bears witness to the importance of lament, for individuals and for communities, after disasters.
4. Violence requires a non-violent response. When life is lost so senselessly, it is natural to want to retaliate. Yet, several of the pastors reminded those in attendance that forgiveness is what is needed. When Jesus invited his followers to embrace a standard more radical than the prevailing law of “an eye for an eye,” he was recognizing our natural human temptation to respond to violence with violence. In a violence-plagued nation, we can see that violent responses to violence are futile. When the cruelest atrocities are met with moral integrity and spiritual faithfulness, there is hope for healing.
5. The identity of victims. It was once most common, in the wake of unforeseen tragedies like the Aurora shooting, for news outlets to produce the most coverage of the perpetrator of crimes, while the identity of the victims were often overshadowed. In the Aurora prayer vigil, every victim was identified and prayed for by name. By noticing and honoring them, the community agreed that the lives that had been lost mattered.
6. Physical acts of care. At least three vans offered coffee and hot chocolate to people attending the vigil, reminding me how important it is that people’s most basic physical needs are met during chaotic times of crisis. It matters to those who receive care, and it is also meaningful to those who are offering the care. Aurora resident Greg Zanis has made 26,275 crosses for victims of every national tragedy since the Columbine shooting in 1999. Although the five he made for victims in his own town were the most difficult, the physical act of creating and offering the crosses was an important act for Zanis and his own processing of the tragedy.
When communities continue to face heartbreaking and senseless tragedies across the country, we can feel helpless. And yet, we can learn from the brave communities who have faithfully and thoughtfully walked through their own disasters. | 2019-04-24T10:19:16 | http://www.jamieaten.com/blog/2019/2/22/6-things-to-remember-in-the-wake-of-the-aurora-shooting |

One of the most irksome qualities of Toad is that editor tabs that remain open for long periods of time – say in a multi-day development of a gnarly sproc – become increasingly slow to the point of being unusable. This manifests itself as a marked delay between a keypress and the text showing up on the screen, and curiously the delay is worse at the top of the tab vs the bottom.
The only way around the slowness is to close the tab and open it up again, but that hardly counts as a solution. You lose carefully crafted temp tables being used for data validation, for example.
I brought this issue up once in Toad for MySQL but I’m disappointed to find it to be the case in the SQL Server version as well. Needless to say, no other SQL environment that I’ve tested (SSMS, dbForge, etc) suffers from this kind of slowdown. It is easy to reproduce in the sense that we constantly encounter the slowdown in our regular work, but it’s not deterministic in a way that’s convenient for debugging: there’s some black magic combination of a long-running tab, large amounts of code, and ceaseless editing including many iterations of commenting out code to test different portions.
It would be wonderful if this was somehow an issue with the parser (which really needs to be overhauled anyway), but I wanted to put this out there again. My requests here on and the beta forum all seem trivially small, but frankly they are simple bugs that should not appear in any production piece of software. Consequently, my recommendation that my company switch to the paid versions of Toad is starting to look quite foolish.
I too experience this issue, almost on a daily basis, and it is quite annoying. Everything will be working fine, then all of the sudden, things slow way down. and each keystroke takes a long time. The amount of time usually depends on how big your script is. If you have a very large script and are not in large script mode, it can be minutes between key strokes. If you type ahead 20 characters, it can be twenty minutes before TOAD comes back. This has been an issue for years, (as you can see, the original post is 6 years old), and really needs to be fixed.

Theatre can help us to build our future, rather than just waiting for it.
The organisers and contributors to this symposium strongly believe that theatre plays a prominent role in developing a sense of awareness of ourselves and the world around us. Therefore, we believe theatre ought to play a more important role in schools, universities and the wider community. In building our futures, the connection between theatre and education needs to start early and to continue throughout our lives. The invited speakers will offer their perspectives on why theatre should be introduced and established as a subject in primary and secondary schools, why universities should embrace performativity within and across academic disciplines, and why leading theatres should continue to embrace and increase their outreach activities and aspire to employ theatre education specialists. The symposium should be of special interest to those who aim to form stronger links between theatre and education, including teachers, lecturers, theatre students, directors of theatres and theatre companies, applied theatre practitioners and policy makers.
Kelly, Marie, (ed) Katie Roche by Teresa Deevy: Research Pack (Abbey Theatre, 2017).
Closing discussion panel including Julie Kelleher, Artistic Director of The Everyman Theatre, Cork. Discussion topics include draft statement in support of the introduction of theatre as a school subject.
Renate studied ‘Theatre Education’ at the University of Arts, Berlin and for many years worked for Berlin City Council’s Department of Education, Science and Research in the area of cultural education and theatre in schools. She has been a curator of many theatre education projects. In 1998 she initiated TUSCH (Theater und Schule – ‘Theatre and Schools) in Berlin – a (nationwide) platform for creative partnerships between professional theatres and schools. In 2008 she co-wrote the “Arts and Education Framework” which aimed at establishing various cultural projects in Berlin schools, and in 2011 founded TUKI (Theatre and Kindergarden).

I just signed in for few knifemaking courses,that last 3 to 4 days per course.Ive been already in many and i never get enough.
if youre intrested,there might be places left.All the course info is in finnish but i can help you to sign in etc.It costs 30 euros per day,including materials,good meals,coffee and for extra price( i think it was 10 to 15 per night) theres also accommondation,in one or two person rooms.
Today,i was at home due to this busted hand i have,and postman dropped a letter to me,saying that theres a foreign package for me,in the local post office.The tracking code didnt reveal anything to me,the origins of the package remained a mystery,as well as the contains of it,for a long day,until my gf arrived and drove me to post office to pick up the package.It was big cushioned envelope,with some small item inside,and i as i went to car i just had to open it immediately,to see this carton box,made from recycleble material,bearing letters CRKT on top of it.I was pretty amazed to see that CRKT company had sent me their famous small fixed knife,made in collaboration with Doug Ritter,man known from his various survival kits,gear and knives.In the paper box was actually mor ethan the knife,as there was a lanyard,which you can use as extension of handle,by adjusting the knot on the lanyard,in way that the knot is in the end of your fist,tightly,when you get a hold of the knife.It seems to be funtional trick to add better hold of the knife.Also included was CRKT´s mini catalogue,so i will be drooling their knife line-up more,plus,a sheet with printed instructions for intented use,for knife and tips to make your own personal survival kit,in pocket size,which will fit in the nicely made tin,which also comes with the RSK Mk5 knife.The tin is pretty much the same size as many breath freshening mints,candies,Altoid´s etc,that popular way among many survivalists for that tiny but useful survival kit.I have always loved to gather up all sorts of kits,in tins like these,so im very eager to do one for the box supplied with this knife,as the knife itself,is also,designed and meant to be carried in a small kit,built in small container like the box is.The knife is made from 3Cr13 steel,and hardened to some 52-55 hrc,which is just good,as its easy to sharpen even with limestone found from nature,beach etc,and yet its hard enough for all necessary tasks.The drop-point,flat grind,blade has usable length of 1.75 inches/44 millimeters,and it weights some 27 gr in my scale,and 36 grams with the molded Zytel sheath it has.The sheath also has brass rivet with hole,for small lanyard or ball chain(2.4mm size or smaller),so its also good to go,as neck knife too.This knife brings to my mind that it might be intresting in the eyes of ultralight hiking people too,as it really seems to be skeletonized all the way,by machining everything that doesnt affect reliabilty,away.The hollow handle,and the few holes in the spine of blade,may also allow user to lash it,with paracord or other thin thread / wire,to make the handle bigger,or tie it to longer stick,so it might be used as spear,for catching small game or fish.
By now,i have only spent few hours playing with this knife and i think its very intresting and well made,even if you consider,that its made on purpose,to be affordable to anyone.Theres no flaws,nothing to complain about and im intrested to test this one,as soon as my hand´s condition allows it.
But,at his point,the first thing i really would like to do,is to say Thank you,to that person at CRKT company,that made it possible,for me to test their fine knife,and to do a review about it.
Well,so it happened that being outside is dangerous.Its hard to type anything now so ill keep it short.I broked one bone from my shoulder,almost in to two pieces,and cracked another,so i am one handed now for a while.Really annoying.I am forced to do nothing,almost,and even getting myself in to clothing is harder but ill be doing something still,maybe even write something here.
I took off the lapland trip writings,i will put those back too,but im just trying to make the whole story as one,and edit it a bit,to make it easier to read.
Last night i was watching some western movie with gy gf,and as i have seen it before i wasnt So interested,and wanted to do something at the same time,something that was quiet and i could do it while sitting in coach.So i went thru my treasure chest ,and my general tool box and found a small piece of leather,rivets and one button,old D-ring i took off from broken pistol harness,and the weird swiss made knife / plier thing,made by Wenger.I have liked it a lot but its quite a problem to found a nice fitting sheath for it,due to its un-common shape.So i dragged the gear to our living room table,which made my gf "happy":).oh well she has used to my interests and hobbies so she wasnt mad at all.After i had accomplished to take some coarse measures and shape,into leather piece i put it under water for while to make it all wet and more easy to shape and stretch.It was quite nasty to to get it even into shape that youll see in the pics because the knife has sharp corners and contours etc,but finally i got it into acceptable form,and started to sew and rivet it into one piece.It was funny to pound the rivets as quiet as i could,so my neighbour wouldnt wake up.this morning i realised there was nobody home even.I added a loop to put the firesteel ( from Varusteleka ) between seams,but before doing that i stitched the loop tight and just added it then,so the seams of sheath wont affect the tightness of firesteel holder any way.I chosed rivets with holes,so i can add some paracord,or keyring,or waht ever in the sheath,for various carrying options,or to attach it more secure into rucksack and such.I like to to all my sheaths with low hanging dangler,they are easy to use,and dont press my waist,plus it looks better,but thats not the main reason.Its always in righ vertical position so the knife wont drop easily,no matter how i am.Even if the button fails,it will fit in if i was to stand on my hands.I dont know why should i but still.the flap under buton hole acts also as reinforcement around the lower end of flap,so the leather wont stretch too loose so easily,when i start to use this sheath.But it also makes the opening of button easier.I was quite happy with this sheath when it was ready to be dyed,it took 2 hrs to make and then i dyed it with reddish brown,one of my favourite leather colours.I stuffed the knife in,wrapped with plastic film,and then just dyed it.i had barely enough paint for this left,so its not even dyed but looks ok by me.Then i went for sleep and this morning it was nice and tight,the knife wont drop from sheath with the flap open and turned and shaked.It sits there with nice,almost "snap" like friction.Almost jump proof id say.So,i added warmed up horse harness wax,its all natural,with some coal to make it bit of a black.Then after it was rubbed in,i polished it just a bit with old wool sock and its ready to go.
This was far better way to spend some night time,than just sit and stare pc screen.
Me and few buddies have been talkin´about doing again one trip to forest governments rental cabin.We´ve been able to do it for few years now and its almost as traditional now. So i got to pick up the cabin and found really nice one.I never do pick up a cabin with electrics running in it,as its not nice to see that in the forest cabin,guys would be just sitting inside,watching football,heating pizzas in micro-wave ove etc. I love non electrified cabins,where you have to warm it with logs,that you also must carry it,sometimes chop em. Cabins that have just lanterns and candles for light.cabins that are closer to days gone,and cabins closer to nature.Cabins that you use mostly for sleeping if the weather allows you to spend the day outside,by swimming,ice fishing,hiking,chopping wood,carrying water etc. I think its one delight,when you have carried water in,made the furnace hot,put on the fire in the sauna,and then,then you can just sit down and relax,maybe cook something above fire,in the cabins yard,or during rain,in the cabin. Its whole different atmosphere to talk with your buddies,in lanterns light.Not to mention sleeping in the old hard bunks,or to me,they arent hard at all,but some might think they are.I think i will,on next trip we are now deciding to do,take along kit to make fire with my handmade flint striking steel,if someone is intrested to learn that skill,or just to see how its done in real life.And knife (offcourse) for whittling spoon etc,as ive notice people like these crude spoons ive made in our trips by whittling and hot coal carving.Also,ice fishing must be done,as i love that,even when the catch aint good,or none.But it would be nice to catch few fishes that i could fry and eat between bannock,as i like to do occasionally.Cooking without electric aids is something everyone should learnmjust in case,i think and cabin trips like this will be,give a nice opprtunity to do it if people want,and i hope they want. A small day hike is always wellcome,you just need some small pack filled with thermos bottle,some snack,or better yet,a real coffee pan to make coffee during break,upon fire. Nothing beats coffee made like that.Well,maybe coffee with some brew in it:).But otherwise,i dont care about drinking during trips.Its ok to take one or two beers after sauna,but thats enough. And in the morning,to make breakfast all together,is one joy too. To share what everyone brings in,in fun.So,between 12-14.3 im doing easy cabin-based winter trip & hike in a small about 100 years oold,very modest log cabin,about 100 kilometers from my home,near national park "Seitseminen".
It has room for ten,about,in two buildings. In the original log cabin and in the room of sauna building,which replaced the old one that burned,sadly.Ive been in many many cabins rented from finnish forest government,"Villi Pohjola",and i really like that system which allows men to rent a cabin,from all over Finland,for fair price. They offer good photos and explanations in their website,about cabins,their locations,as well as directions to get to the cabin. They have rated all cabins,depending on the quality of accommondations,like does it have road to door,fireplace or electrics,good place to swim or not etc.Ive never disappointed to any cabin and i think i wont in future.So im not worried about the cabin i chose today.
Guyot Designs Squishy bowls on minus 22 celcius degrees.
Today it was sunny weather,no wind at all so i went for a walk to the shore,and took the new squishy bowls along so i could sip some coffee out of them.Nothing fancy in that action but before i used those,i placed those two cups into snow,about half of their height,and poured in water from lake,after i had hacked my axe thry the ice,so it was pretty cold stuff.I left the cups to freeze for two hours,and after my hike i came back to the place where i had these hidden.The water has iced for bit over one centimeter thick on surface on the bowl,and in the cup the water was fully iced.If i would put these on top of snowpile,the bigger might have iced all the way too but now,as i predicted,snow had acyed as insulation,preventing the water from freezing all the way rock solid.Anyway,i thought the cups would have gone more solid,but i really couldnt see any differense,they were as elastic as they were inside my home.I was positively surprised about this fact as i was afraid these might get more solid and crack.No,they didnt,i only had to squeeze my fingers over the cup and bowl,and roll my fingers for few times and the ice blocks came out just like that.
Now i can rely to these,more,and take these along to my next longer winter hike without a worry.
Thanks again,Cara and everyone at Guyot Designs.
Today postman gave me a package from Guyot designs,and there was two of their nice looking Squishy´s,the cup and a bowl,both in nice bright blue. Also included was MicroBites,their answer to hiking & outdoors utensils,which ive been curious about for quite long time,these were in tangerine colour.
My first impression was wow,really. I didnt expect these to be so nicely finished and throughly thought items. The cup and bowl are actually in good size,the bigger takes about half liters and the cup is good for cup full of your favourite brew,with its 2 deciliters capacity.
The bowl and cup are feeling tough enough,so they dont collapse or squeese all by themselfs,but still you can easily grab these and stuu into your pot,pocket or where you want to carry and stash these,theyre amazingly rugged,i thought that these aint tough at all but i was wrong,you wont break these in accident,never with just bare hands. Although i will go out in below zero temsp to try these too,then ill se how they will react in normal camp eating & coking service.
Its not slippery material,it allows a good grip so the cup / bowl wont drop from your hands just like that,but still its slippery inside,or should i say smooth,for easy rinsing and cleaning.
The MicroBites were awesome gadgets to get,i mean these are something ive been drooling after for some time and now i have a set of my own,to test and carry. Ive been pretty disappointed to many non-metallic utensil this far,but as i use teflon coated pans and pots too,i cant just take the risk of ruining the precious coatings with steel/aluminium/titanium utensils. And the plastic ones ive owned. I dont know what i do wrong but they all tend to crack,in two pieces,especially when i do my thing in wintertime. But these,these look different indeed. The shape of the handle aint so flat as in others,so i think it will be stronger too,and wont break easily. Theyre 6" inch long which for me is ok,for most pots and hiking meal pouches,and you can always cut the bag shorter or roll the openings to be able to scrape the bottom of meal pouch clean. And hey,now as i have the Squishy Bowl too,i will be eating out of it :). The MicroBites-utencils offer a nice selection of cooking "tools" ,as it has a spoon,spatula,fork,spreader and a knife. With the design of the knife,you seem to able to scrape your cooking pot pretty clean,as it has nice round corner that fits nicely,atleast to my Primus pot as well as tatonka´s Sherpa kettle. Makes the washing a lot easier this way.
Well,thats all i can say now,after i ate my regular indoor´s meal with these.I havent taken these out yet but i will and then i will tell you more as i then know how these served me.but one thing i can tell you already is that these funny-looking gadgets are made well,better than i thought,i would easily recommed these already to anyone.
One of my favourite outdoor´s enthusiasts,and YouTube video makers,Mr.Dave Canterbury has a good video including Guyot Designs Squihy Bowl,please check it out,and his shop too.
The Guyot Design is nice company,in my eyes,as theyre green minded,and work to make the process,of making their products,more economical by making stuff from recycled materials,and reducing the production emissions. | 2019-04-20T01:22:28 | http://perkelesblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/ |
There has been a lot of interest in the new Onyx Boox Nova e-reader. This is likely due to the 7.8 inch screen and great hardware specs. It was primarily designed to be an e-book reader and has full compatibility with Google Play to download apps. Is the Nova a worthy contender against the Kobo Forma or the Kindle Oasis 2?
The Nova feature a giant 7.8 inch E-Ink Carta HD screen with a resolution of 1872×1404 and 300PPI. It has a color temperature system so you can read in the dark. The display is not as good as the Kobo Forma, but it does have a big advantage over the Oasis.
There is no flush screen and bezel on the Nova and it is not waterproof or dustproof. It has a USB-C port to charge the 2800 mAh battery or transfer ebooks. There is a power button on the top and status indicator light. There are no manual page turn buttons, but there is a simple home button on the bottom of the screen.
Underneath the hood is a 1.6GHZ quad core processor. There is 32GB of storage, but there is no SD card to increase the storage further. There is 2GB of RAM, so in conjunction with the processor it will handle most apps with ease. Speaking of apps, the Nova is running Android 6.0, so it is compatible with almost every major app out there, such as Goodreads, Overdrive or Kindle.
Onyx Boox has developed a new UI and it is currently available in the Nova, Poke and MAX2. It should be available on other products later this year. It is being called Firmware 2.0 internally and is a fairly innovative upgrade with a variety of new functionalities including new UI, book store, 30% speed increase of opening PDF files, better two-page spread management, handwriting search & edit, bluetooth keyboard input on notes, app management & optimization.
There has also been some new features for using the stylus, with does not apply to the Nova, but does the Note, Note Plus and MAx2. There are new options to select, move, rotate, duplicate, resize, and remove handwritten notes and drawings. They also added a new recognition feature that lets you run searches through your handwritten notes.
Overall I like the new UI, it brings the clickable interface from the bottom of the screen to the side, which leaves more room to showcase ebooks, manga, newspapers, magazines and other digital content. I also like the fact they have a new digital bookstore to buy ebooks. Most of them are in Chinese, since Onyx is a Chinese company, but there are a number of English titles too.
Onyx has their own App store, which showcases apps are are compatible. Onyx basically tweaks their firmware so e-reading apps like Kindle, do not have animated page turns. All of the apps are Chinese, so they are not very relevant to a Western audience. They do have a Google Play patch file on their store, which makes Google Play work.
Obviously the Nova has full Google Play support and Google Play services, but in order to get it to work, you need to run the patch from the Onyx App Store, or follow our tutorial HERE.
One of the downfalls of the Nova experience is that it focuses on the Chinese aspect a little too much. This is relevant to the app store, bookstore and the preloaded content that is available in the library. Obviously you can install your own apps via Google Play, which is a tremendous boon, so if you are already invested in B&N, Kobo, Amazon or other major retailer, you can sync all of stuff from the cloud.
The Nova is more affordable than the Kobo Forma and Kindle Oasis 2. These two vendors lock you into their ecosystem and optimize their Linux OS so it is stable and robust. The Nova needs a way better processor and RAM because Android is demanding, but this is the whole reason to buy it. The Nova plays nice with other walled gardens and gives you tremendous flexibility and freedom to craft your own experience. I think the Nova is a great alternative to other major brands on the market and is a solid e-reader.
I do like good ereader, it is the no.1 place for ereaders and I also appreciate that the reviews are not bisaed but if you had a choice out of the Poke Pro, Nova, or the likebook Mars – which one would you go for?
Even better would be a whole table with all this year’s ereaders?
Guys, sorry to say it like this but that’s not a review. That’s a presentation. You do not voice one critical aspect. I have a ton: The wifi connection is flimsy, the UI is sloppy, the shop that you highlighted is utterly useless and 100% Chinese and can’t even be deactivated. Getting Google Play to work requires some hacking and even then it’s not stable. The UI is also restrictive, I couldn’t even log in to my company wifi with this because it doesn’t natively support EAP wifi (I had to download an app that shows me hidden settings to do so). It doesn’t charge via standard USB-C but only with the packaged cable (?!). It doesn’t have auto rotation (I mean, seriously!). Sure, the internals are great, the screen is good (however I would wish for a true white screen not this recycled paper color). It feels so cheap as well. And so do many e-readers. This whole industry has to get a move on and achieve build qualities like the smartphone manufacturers. These devices are basically stuck in 2010.
The “reviewer” is also selling the device, so they will not write anything bad. Basically, they are a heavily biased source.
So do you recommend this or not? Would you recommend a different e-reader over this?
See I have purchased one from aliexpress and it is a very good e reader , if you want to read PDF then it is awesome and third party PDF app is working smooth better than mars !!!
For 7.8 inches, this or Likebook Mars (a bit cheaper, but Boox has the best software I’ve seen on ereaders, especially when dealing with PDFs). For 10.3 inches Note Lite / Note / Note Plus (whether you want Stylus support or not) or wait for Boyue Mimas. I did not wait for Mimas and got a Note Plus because of it’s software and glass screen. Annotating, highlighting and scribbling on technical books is a breeze. Auto Crop renders Briss unnecessary and works on the fly. When the page is too long for one screen view, you see a marking line that shows you where the previous page ended, unlike the mighty kindle where I had to spend 15 seconds going back and forth until I found the spot to continue reading.
Serious question, why would anyone ever use an “optimized” version of the Kindle app? It seems just wildly dangerous. | 2019-04-25T20:03:15 | https://goodereader.com/blog/electronic-readers/onyx-boox-nova-unboxing-and-review |

How reliable is your car?
Based on data gathered from millions of pounds worth of claims handled by us every year, the Reliability Index offers the most comprehensive overview of cars on the road today. Find out your car's reliability with Warranty Direct.
If there's a car company that's synonymous with quality, reliability, high-tech and comfort, it's Lexus. This Toyota sub-brand has turned the luxury and executive segments on their head since its arrival in the UK in 1990. But Lexus has never had the cachet of its German rivals, which is why its used cars are generally significantly cheaper - even though they regularly lead owner satisfaction surveys. This is largely down to the reasonably low running costs, extremely generous equipment levels and peerless reliability. But these cars are also much rarer than the German alternatives and asking prices can be all over the place. So before buying a Lexus GS be sure to shop around to ensure you're getting the best possible buy.
Designed to take on compact executives from Audi, BMW and Mercedes, the IS is well-equipped, comfortable and reliable, but refinement and economy can be disappointing, while there are few engines to choose between. In Japan the IS was sold as a Toyota, and in some ways it's more deserving of that badge than the Lexus one, as this doesn't feel like the premium car that it's supposed to be. The dynamics aren't as polished as some rivals, but as an ownership experience any Lexus is hard to beat, as the dealer network offers unrivalled levels of service. So while driving an IS probably won't raise your pulse, neither should owning one.
An environmentally friendly SUV may seem like a contradiction in terms, but that's exactly what Lexus set out to create when it introduced the second-generation RX in hybrid form only - although a regular petrol-powered edition soon followed. As with any Lexus you can expect peerless build quality, superb dealer service and a somewhat detached driving experience. So while this isn't one for the enthusiast, if you're looking for a painless (but costly) ownership experience, it could be just the ticket.
The Lexus SC430 came and went, and nobody noticed. On sale in the UK for almost a decade, the SC430 is one of those cars that never made an impact, despite being very desirable for a number of reasons. While it was no looker and it left driving enthusiasts cold, the SC430 featured that legendary Lexus build quality and reliability, with silky smooth performance and surprising usability. Used values are now on the floor, ensuring Lexus' first coupe-cabrio is well worth a look if you want something quirky for the summer.
It may be the new kid on the block in the luxury car arena, but that hasn't stopped this Toyota offshoot from quickly gaining a seriously enviable reputation for superlative quality. With unsurpassed reliability, astonishing equipment levels and peerless dealer service, owning a Lexus is guaranteed to be painless. Even better, thanks to heavy depreciation, you can get into an LS430 for less than you'd think - it's just running the thing that might cripple you financially.
Toyota sub-brand Lexus is a hybrid tech champion, so when the third-generation RX SUV was launched it was no surprise that it came only with a petrol/electric powertrain, in RX450h form. Anybody wanting a diesel had to look elsewhere, but while the limited model range put off some buyers, those who were more switched on realised they were getting the best of all worlds. Fast, clean and potentially very frugal, all versions of the RX also came with plenty of standard equipment and ample room for the whole family. High purchase costs limited sale to a point, but hefty depreciation means the RX450h makes a great used buy from a value point of view, plus it's an incredibly easy car to own thanks to peerless reliability. | 2019-04-26T04:53:37 | https://www.warrantydirect.co.uk/vehicle-warranty/extended-manufacturer-warranties/lexus |

Super strength, super speed, flight, invulnerability and lightening fingers??? It doesn’t get much better than that and one teenager is going to learn about all the fun that you get to have when you’re a hero after he transforms into a mythical super powered champion and gets his chance to save the world in Shazam!
When 12-year old orphan Billy Batson (Asher Angel) encounters a magical Wizard (Djimon Hounsou) he is granted unimaginable super powers that transform him into the super hero Shazam (Zachary Levi), gifting him with a range of powers from a group of mythological heroes including Salomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles and Mercury. But while he first uses his powers as Shazam for mischief and fun, Batson will soon have to rise to the occasion to take on villainous super genius Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Mark Strong) and save the world.
The DC Extended Universe is rapidly becoming one very fun playground and in Shazam! the ultimate heroes journey kicks off. In this heroic tale, any notion of seriousness is thrown out, and instead, we get to focus in the joys of what it means to be a superhero and how cool it is to save the world. There’s a terrific playfulness and light-hearted quality to Shazam!, and in addition to its powerhouse special effects the film also tickles your funny bone.
Stepping behind the camera and giving us his bold vision for Shazam! is director David F. Sandberg and this fun-loving world is a brand new realm for Sandberg’s directing talents. Having established himself as a very reputable horror director, with works including the terrifying Lights Out, Sandberg really embraces the fun and spontaneity of Shazam! and infuses the film with a passionate zeal that really gets you animated as an audience member. Not only does he have a great balance over the action that is on display here, but he gives the film a real lightness and comedy that helps to highlight his characters point-of-view and which really keeps you engaged with its fast-moving narrative.
Shazam! is fundamentally the story of two characters: rebellious orphan Billy Batson (Asher Angel) and his fun-loving alter ego, the super-powered Shazam (Zachary Levi). Taking on the role of Billy Batson is Asher Angel, and this teenager has some real talent. As Billy, Angel really showcases the dual sides of his character. Sometimes brooding and morose and other times playful and energetic, Billy is a complicated kid whose tragic past has made him suspicious of a lot of things and he really has to learn how to trust in Shazam! His story is really one about learning how to open up to the good things around him and with the help of a certain wizard he’s able to unleash his natural power for good onto the world, and help those in need….even if it takes a bit of a learning curve to get there.
Joining forces with Angel in the role of the super-powered Shazam is star Zachary Levi and the actor definitely had the time of his life with this crazy and outrageous super-powered character. Infusing Shazam with a fun loving optimism and zest for life, Levi really goes for it when it comes to being a superhero and even though he might be a super-powered He-Man with amazing powers and abilities, he’s still able to project a child-like innocence onto the film. His large frame gives him a sense of power and size, but then there’s a zany goofiness and his spot on comedic timing that also find their way onto the big screen and it makes for something truly original. But through the course of the film’s events, both Billy and Shazam have to undertake some serious responsibility amongst all their fun, especially when the going gets tough and a hero is needed to protect the innocent.
Every hero needs both a mentor and a sidekick and luckily for Shazam, he finds both in his best friend and superhero fanatic Frederick ‘Freddie’ Freeman who is played by the delightfully outrageous Jack Dylan Grazer. Through Billy, Freddie is able to live out his most daring heroic power fantasies and he essentially constructs the heroic image of our central character. It’s interesting to see the way in which Grazer plays Freddie as he walks a great line as both mentor and sidekick and he is far and away the most outrageous person on screen, and is constantly pushing for Billy/Shazam to take his powers to the next level. The trinity that forms around Levi, Angel and Grazer is really great to watch up on screen and when these three actors get to work you really are in for a treat.
Shazam! wouldn’t be a superhero film without some serious action, and it really goes for the boom here. Whether he’s zipping across the sky or embraced in a full-on smashdown fight with nefarious villain Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Mark Strong), Shazam really has his heroics tested here. Aware of what has come before him as a filmmaker, Sandberg also finds a unique way of doing something different with his action sequences and the results will have your eyes wide open. Whether it’s a serious fight for the fate of the world or just some lightning bolt fun that might go slightly haywire, Shazam! delivers plenty of visual spectacle.
Along with the action also comes theme, and Shazam! is a very inward focused superhero tale. While we’re used to dramatic and epically scaled blockbuster movies such as Wonder Woman and Aquaman, Shazam! looks inwards and really tells the story of a family and how they grow together. While the fate of the world does indeed hang in the balance, it’s more the fate of Billy Batson’s adopted family that really stays within your mind as an audience member, and it’s here that he truly finds his strength. A hero is nothing without support from those around him and as Billy and Shazam grow into their destiny and powers as one, they find that it’s the support and love of those around them that truly make them unbeatable.
Shazam! has everything you could want in a superhero film: daring action, massive laughs, amazing special effects and a heartwarming message at its core. If you wanted to know how much fun it is to be a superhero then this is the film you absolutely have to see. | 2019-04-21T03:05:29 | https://spicypulp.com/2019/04/08/shazam-review/ |

On January 6, 1997, Cary Mullen from Calgary, Alberta captivated eyes around the globe by skiing 151.5 kilometers per hour (about 100 mph) down the slopes of Hahnenham in Kitzbuhel, Austria. Cary had just set a new record for the fastest skier in the world; a record he still holds today. A 10-year member of the Canadian National Ski Team and a 1994 World Cup Champion in downhill, Cary was not new to skiing glory, nor to the other side of fame. His setbacks, his drive, and his goal orientation all make for an electrifying story.
Let's face it. Our communities are growing and the public and elected officials are expecting you to deliver the same level of service or better with one caveat. Do it, and do it with less money, staff, and equipment. Your crews are covering more ground and have less time to do it in. In this face-to-face “talk show” style session, a panel of public works and winter operations leaders will give you the low-down on how they are meeting this challenge. Come prepared, as this interactive session will give you ample time to ask questions.
If I'd Known It Was Going to Be Like This, I'd Have Taken Better Care of Myself!
Taking care of winter roads can be challenging, stimulating, and gratifying, but it can also wear you down. Balancing the eternal guessing game of “What is the weather going to do?” “When should I send the crews out?” “What road treatment to use?” takes a toll on the best of us. This session will lift you up, make you laugh, and share practical insight into everyday living. Drawing on his experiences as a father, school teacher and triathlon competitor, Murray Banks' message will help you balance the intensity of your work by showing simple ways to reach better physical health, a more positive outlook, and how to save time for essential fun and humor in each day.
This year's technical tour is included as a part of the Snow Conference educational program — there is no additional cost to participate. Please check the box on your registration form if you plan to participate, so that we can plan for the correct number of buses. The tour will visit an “artificial glacier” snow disposal site and one of Quebec City's operations facilities.
The City of Quebec is a real winter city, receiving an average of 11 feet of snow per year, where the weather varies from one location in the city to another, and where the temperature can drop from +37 degrees F to -5 degrees F in a matter of hours. Snow removal operations present many challenges. The city's public works department is responsible to clear more than 1,500 miles of streets (plus sidewalks), and carry approximately 7 million cubic yards of snow to 13 different snow disposal sites that respect environmental regulations and can receive up to 425 trucks per hour. There are also challenges in dealing with the design of a city that has a lot of hills and narrow streets, and protecting the unique infrastructures that make Quebec City a world historical site.
This technical tour will take you to the Henri-Bourassa artificial glacier, Quebec City's most used snow disposal site, with 1.5 million cubic yards of snow dumped here on an average winter. You will learn the techniques used to manage the snow and maximize the capacity of the site, and how the water from the melting snow is clarified from pollutants before going into the river. After the snow dump site, the technical tour will visit one of Quebec City's public works operations facilities, where you will be able to see the variety of winter equipment used by the city.
The Quebec Chapter and Touristicom are offering optional tours on Saturday and Sunday, and a Monday evening dinner cruise on the Saint Lawrence River. Separate registration and fees required.

In the previous article on this subject (See: Grassroots: How early should I start campaigning? ) we mentioned that as a non Republican/Democrat candidate your campaign or your candidate will face additional obstacles. These are referred to as ballot access obstacles. In Georgia and many other States independent candidates have to request placement on the ballot by "nominating petitions."
A "nominating petition" requires obtaining signatures from your fellow citizens that are registered to vote, asking the State (or appropriate county or municipality) to place your name on the ballot. These laws vary State to State and this article will describe the laws in Georgia. If you live in another State, check the laws by contacting your Secretary of State's office and make modifications as needed. Other States are easier, but the same principles apply on not only trying to overcome this obstacle - but turning it around and using it as a campaign resource.
By a political body qualification petition for statewide offices only.
Lets briefly explain the terms and requirements of each.
In Georgia there are two definitions of political entities; political party and political body. A political party requires 20% or more of the vote in either the Governor or the Presidential elections. In Georgia that equates to Republican or Democrat. Every other political entity is thus a political body.
For statewide elections only a political body can achieve ballot access by submitting a qualification petition containing at least 1% of the number of registered voters (Active) in the State in the previous general election. That is roughly 38,000 "valid" signatures of registered voters. Valid means that the signature has passed the very rigorous rejection gauntlet required by section 2-170 of Georgia election code. Routinely 30% of submitted signatures are "rejected" for many reasons - both valid and invalid.
When a political body passes this petition requirement, they can then nominate by convention candidates for statewide office by convention. As long as a least 1 candidate polls 1% of the vote each general election, this status is maintained. In Georgia only the Libertarian Party has qualified to nominate by convention by this method. The Southern Party of Georgia will be announcing our first attempt shortly.
Remember this is only for statewide candidates and does not apply to Congressional, State Legislature, County or Municipal partisan elections. There is a 15 month period for gathering the petition signatures.
For independents, members of non qualified political bodies and all non statewide elections the candidate has to submit a "nominating petition." Georgia has the toughest requirement in our country, written in 1943 of 5% of the registered voters (Active) in the election district. You have a 180 day window to accomplish this requirement. Once again the validation process as it is called will reject typically 30% of the submitted signatures for various reasons - both valid and invalid.
Thus independent candidates, other than Libertarian statewide candidates, need to start their campaign as early as possible so that their petition effort can launch at full speed in the first day of the 180 day window. For 2006 the start day is around the middle of January, 2006.
Now is the time to begin getting a head start and should be a part of your campaign plan. Not only will this increase the odds of getting on the ballot but can actually give you a jump on your opponents and end up being a campaign resource. This will be covered in more detail in the next article.
Your first step as a potential candidate is to get the statistics on their election districts for the office(s) that you are considering.
For the petition requirements you need to get the number of active registered voters in the 2004 election. For statewide, Congress or State Legislature contact the Secretary of State, Division of Elections. For county or municipality elections contact your county elections board.
Other statistics or estimates that will be needed. The VAP (voting age population), total population estimates and election results from last two or three elections. These will all be considered in our suggestions on how to develop a campaign plan. There are various sources that may provide these statistics.
If you live in another State - get the ballot access requirements. You are lucky, they will easier than Georgia!
Now a word to those who are not considering being a candidate. If you would like additional choices on your November ballot it is largely up to you. In Georgia over half of the State House districts only had one choice last November and over a third of the State Senate and Congressional race only had one choice. And many wonder why our elected officials ignore the public more and more every election!
Isn't there something American about having a choice?
Well if you live in Georgia, you have less choice in most election districts than most countries in the world. In business we espouse the importance of open competition, but in our government we do not support competition.
Give that some thought the next time you complain about some tax or other government action. Just as potential independent candidates need to start their planning now, concerned citizens need to jump in and help those candidates locate the support they need.
In each of these articles we will list easy and simple things you, the concerned citizens, can do to promote competition in elections. For now it is very simple, just help spread the word, email this page to some of your fellow citizens who have also complained about taxes or other actions of our government. It usually is not very hard to find a few of those!

start. There are always activities you can carry-out to help your campaign or future campaign. Even if the election is four years away, you can be out meeting people, talking with leaders and activists, building an organization and writing your campaign plan.
Of course, you don�t want to announce your candidacy or run advertisements too far in advance of the campaign. While the best time to start these activities varies by place, election and strategy, they generally should never take place before the last election before yours is complete (November of the year before the your election) and in all but the biggest and/or best funded races should not take place before January of the year of your election.
When deciding when to start running advertisements, remember to wait until people are paying attention to the campaign or ready to start paying attention � if you run ads and no one cares, you are wasting your campaign�s precious fundraising dollars. | 2019-04-21T02:32:36 | http://spofga.org/build/2005/june/grassroots_2.php |

On a beautiful location in Haute-Nendaz lies Chalet Ziggy, overlooking the Vallée du Rhône. In all seasons of the year, the area of Nendaz offers a beautiful holiday destination. In winter, the ski-slopes of Tracouet are within walking distance and provide access to the largest ski-domain of Switzerland. In the non-winter seasons the region offers fantastic hiking and sporting opportunities. The climate of this area in Switzerland is famous, with an average of 300 sunny days a year, so it’s a fantastic summer destination as well! The panoramic view from the chalet is guaranteed, as is year-round easy access and private outdoor and indoor car parking.
The chalet features great architectural design with large panoramic windows offering you a breathtaking view over the Alps, double height ceilings with exposed wooden frame, a cozy fire for the lovely winter nights and a very tasteful and very well equipped modern kitchen. | 2019-04-24T10:08:51 | https://www.dreamchalet.ch/properties/chalet-ziggy/ |
In this episode of Trial Lawyer Nation, Michael Cowen sits down with Founding Partner at The Penn Law Firm, Eric Penn. To start things off, Eric describes his decision to focus on trucking cases and how it came from the simple fact that we can all relate to them. In fact, everyone (including attorneys) share the road with 18 wheelers. Eric goes on to point out that the general view point of “cases never looking better than when you first work them up,” while true at times, seems to go the other way with trucking cases where they get consistently better the more you roll up your sleeves and dig into them.
Speaking of rolling up sleeves and digging in … Michael and Eric pull back the curtain on what turned out to be an $89.6M verdict for the bulk of this podcast, which in and of itself is enlightening, educational, and impactful.
The brief synopsis of the case would likely have many attorneys passing on the case from the very start considering how things looked on the surface – A mother with 3 children in the car, running errands on a Texas highway, hit a patch of black ice, loses control of their vehicle sending them through the median into oncoming traffic and is struck by an 18 wheeler, and the police report indicating that there was no fault to be placed. Michael suggests that more than 98% of personal injury attorneys in the state would likely not take on such a case and the others might even look at it and see a $1-2M settlement, which obviously wouldn’t be enough once you hear the unfortunate circumstances the victims faced moving forward. But not Eric!
Eric’s reasoning behind taking the case stemmed from getting to know the case on a deeper level, understanding that the injuries were dramatic, and having an in-depth knowledge of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (the green book) and CDL Manual’s Safety Rules that are in place to protect all of us who share the road with 18 wheelers, citing one of the chapter’s intent is literally to “prevent crashes and save lives.” One might think that this type of case would revolve around the approximate 3 second sequence of the crash itself, but Eric’s explanation of how their focus became everything but those 3 seconds really shed a light on how this type of case can quickly grow to a much more substantial and just verdict. Spoiler Alert: Eric notes that EVERY case he has come into has 100% of the time been about the company behind the truck driver and how that company operates its fleet, making them much more responsible than they may like to admit. The compassion Eric demonstrates in describing his mental process in the decision to take on a case like this is palpable.
The details surrounding this case that Michael and Eric discuss are apt to be a significant learning tool from which any attorney can stand to learn.
Eric T. Penn believes that in order to keep our families and communities safe, we have to hold people or corporations who choose to violate safety rules accountable for the injuries and conditions they create. That is why he has been an outspoken advocate for seriously injured people for more than seventeen (17) years. He represents people who have been permanently and seriously injured through no fault of their own.
Eric is a born and raised Texan. He is a 1998 graduate of Baylor University. He received his Juris Doctorate (J.D.) from Baylor University School of Law. He was admitted to the practice of law in Texas and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas in 2001.
A Trial Lawyer’s College (TLC) graduate, Eric is a frequent lecturer on Trucking litigation throughout the country. He is a member of American Association for Justice (AAJ) Trucking Litigation section, Attorney Information Exchange Group (AIEG), Academy of Trucking Accident Attorneys (ATAA) and the Texas Trial Lawyers Association (TTLA).
In this episode of Trial Lawyer Nation, Michael Cowen welcomes board certified and award-winning personal injury lawyer, Marion Munley of Munley Law. Marion describes the long family history of strong female influencers who impacted the direction she took in becoming a trial attorney, as well as the inspiration she has drawn from them when giving back in a male-dominated industry.
Marion looks back at some of her more prominent cases in the trucking industry and recalls the lessons learned from research and expert testimony. The sheer volume of interstate highways that converge in her geographic location uniquely, and unfortunately, provide ample trucking cases which has only made her expertise in this focused field more honored. As the Chair-Elect of the AAJ (American Association for Justice) Trucking Litigation Group, Marion’s public speaking engagements have been vast in the trucking litigation arena.
Marion and Michael also explore some polarizing differences in approach when obtaining new cases or referrals and how egos, verdicts, and humbleness do not all fit into the same trial attorney personalities. Marion describes her approach to this and where it’s taken her over the course of her career. Hint, hint, her solid credentials tend to speak volumes, which they both agree are always to be added to in any successful practice.
Marion’s advice to lawyers moving into personal injury law is shared and she speaks directly to the importance of mentorship, training, and opportunities needed to be displayed to the next generation of trial attorneys. In fact, based on a study shared by the ABA, Marion sites that “we know that more women have to be groomed and mentored to become first chair as there are women out there that are VERY capable and would be great trial lawyers who are just not getting the opportunity, and that all begins with just mentoring and trying to help young lawyers navigate what to do with their careers”… which is not often an easy task. It is clear and evident that Marion’s passion for mentorship comes from a desire to further add and build more equity into the industry.
Marion Munley is a senior partner in the Scranton law firm Munley Law. A champion of victims’ rights, Marion devotes her practice to representing individuals and families in personal injury litigation, with a special focus on cases involving commercial truck and tractor trailer accidents. Marion completed her undergraduate degree from the University of Scranton and earned her J.D. from Temple University School of Law.
Marion is an active member of the American Association for Justice and currently serves on the AAJ Board of Governors. She is Chair of the AAJ Women Trial Lawyers Caucus and the first female Chair-Elect of the AAJ Trucking Litigation Group. Marion also serves on the Board of Trustees for the National College of Advocacy. She is a member of the Pennsylvania Association for Justice where she serves on the Board of Governors and on its executive committee.
Munley is the second woman in Pennsylvania to become Board Certified as a Civil Trial Advocate by the National Board of Trial Advocacy. Among her other professional affiliations are the American Board of Trial Advocates and the International Society of Barristers. She has been named to the Best Lawyers in America list by Best Lawyers since 2012. Marion has been selected to the list of Pennsylvania Super Lawyers for the last 15 years and has been consistently recognized as one of the Top 50 Women Lawyers in Pennsylvania by Super Lawyers Magazine.
Marion frequently travels throughout the United States to lecture on trucking litigation, and recently published an article in Trial Magazine on retrieving electronic data from a crash.
Throughout her career, Marion has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to mentoring other women lawyers. In 2016, the Pennsylvania Bar Association honored Marion with the Lynette Norton Award in recognition of her excellence in the law and her dedication to mentoring other women lawyers.
In this episode of Trial Lawyer Nation, Michael Cowen sits down with nationally renowned trial consultant, Artemis Malekpour whose strength lies in her trial litigation strategy consulting. She describes it by boiling it all down to, “we help your case.” However, the sheer magnitude of the scope of her work ranges from before you even file a case, to the end result, and everything in between, including focus groups, trial strategy, mediation strategy, discovery, pre-suit issues, voir dire, and opening statements to name just a few. Artemis describes her entry into the profession as coming initially from a background of psychology and starting down the pre-med path when realizations came to her, along with a pretty dramatic chain of events, that aligned her studies with a passion toward the legal industry. Her dilemma with the situation turned into learning more and taking in feedback from many different subsequent cases and being introduced to them from the inside, which eventually confirmed she was heading in the right direction for herself.
Empathizing with Michael, who also has a psychology degree, Artemis describes several of the cases she’s been through where the emotions start to take over and the desire to help everyone kicks in. Both Michael and Artemis give several examples of intake processes now firmly in place to help avoid accepting cases which are not suitable to take on both for the good of the firm or for the good of the client.
Artemis also opens up about her focus group experiences across the country, averaging sometimes around 40 per year, and divulges some of the trends she is seeing as a result of our current political climate. An interesting moment is the conversation between she and Michael about the power of silence, be it in the courtroom or with a focus group, and how it can be used to benefit your case. And while this technique and others are discussed, Artemis reinforces the importance of understanding there is no “magic formula” for success and describes what she believes the best trial lawyers do after trial.
The insights Artemis shares throughout the conversation are not just insightful, but practical toward any case. Michael jokingly refers to these insights as a “list of the things we do to screw up our own cases.” But we also know even that depiction is sometimes an understatement, which is why talking with Artemis was such a pleasure in this episode. She tells it like it is, and we all come out better on the other side.
Artemis Malekpour is a partner in the litigation consulting firm of Malekpour & Ball. With a background in psychology and psychiatric research, she specializes in focus groups, case strategy, damages and jury selection. Artemis did her undergraduate work at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, then earned a Master’s in Healthcare Administration from UNC’s School of Public Health and law degree with honors from Duke University. She has consulted on a wide variety of cases across the country, with a knack for identifying potential landmines, incorporating her knowledge from years of watching jury deliberations and talking with jurors.
In this episode of Trial Lawyer Nation, Michael Cowen sits down with 25+ year veteran of the legal industry and founder of eDiscovery CoCounsel, Chad Roberts.
In a legal world where we are document heavy and paperless, eDiscovery sets out to avoid the abundance of obstacles trial lawyers encounter when in search of documents, be it the dump-truck effect of getting volumes of information or the paid search games that are played.
Primarily, people think about documentary evidence which is stored in a digital format, to which the rules have somewhat of a bias toward that type of framework, which tends to be the biggest challenge, explains Chad. He goes on to describe that it is not so much the format by which these documents are held, but rather the sheer volume of content that is available. For those of us who are not experts in e-discovery, not knowing the right questions to ask to receive what is sought after or even what is available to ask for, can make a case challenging. Chad points out one of the biggest “tectonic shifts” in the advantage/disadvantage for discovery really occurred back in December of 2015 with the new Rule 26, pertaining to the proportionality factors that came about under that rule, of which Chad dives deep on along with the ways around it.
Chad continues to reveal the dirty little secret that the more you know about the information structure and how documentation is filed, the easier it is to deconstruct the arguments of it being tremendously difficult for the defense to compile what you are looking for … which, coincidentally, is enormously easy for them to produce. Furthermore, Chad describes the other “human nature” side of the story where attorneys psychologically feel that they are out of their element, mostly because they don’t do excessive amounts of document productions, and are more likely to agree to things that are not best for a case.
Ideally, as Chad describes, his firm is typically brought in at the beginning of a case and start with Electronic Storage Information (ESI) protocols, where the front-end platform is established through discussions regarding agreement of the mutual expectations of those involved on the case, and this of course being the best line of defense in counteracting the diversions played by opposing counsel.
The podcast concludes with Michael and Chad discussing the types of cases that make the most sense to bring in a firm such as eDiscovery; and the description that Chad offers on why even the biggest of firms would likely have a significant flaw in their practice if they had the capacity of his firm is enlightening and makes perfect sense when you hear it.
Chad Roberts is a seasoned trial lawyer with a career focused on technology, complex litigation, and multi-district litigation. He has been a litigation partner at an AmLaw 20 multi-national law firm as well as a small, boutique trial firm, winning multi-million dollar verdicts as lead trial counsel. His focus at eDiscovery CoCounsel, pllc includes predictive coding technology, discovery jurisprudence, and large scale litigation management. Chad received an Engineering Science degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology and graduated with high honors from the Florida State University College of Law, where he was an Associate Editor of the Florida State University Law Review. | 2019-04-25T04:18:38 | https://triallawyernation.com/author/admin/page/5/ |

Kathmandu: Kathmandu Upatyaka Khanepani Limited (KUKL) has hiked water tariff by 30 percent in the Kathmandu Valley ignoring the aspects of improving its water supply services. KUKL has hiked water tariff in the name of adjusting the increased cost of the company. The consumers have to face additional burden after the KUKL hiked water tariff without considering different conditions put forward by the Water Supply Tariff Fixation Commission for consumer welfare.
The commission has put forward the conditions of maintaining the quality of supplied water, reduce water leakage by 10 percent, collect tariff dues, install meters in unmetered connections within six months, disconnect all the illegal connection made from the trunk lines and then only adjust the tariff.
“But, the KUKL has hiked water tariff one-sidedly by neglecting the conditions,” said Ratna Sansar Shrestha, a member of Water Supply Tariff Fixation Commission. The KUKL has fixed the minimum volume of monthly water supply to 10000L at Rs. 55 even for dry taps. 50 percent tariff added as the sewerage charge in the existing water tariff remains the same. As such, the consumers have to pay a minimum tariff of Rs. 80 per month. Similarly, the KUKL is charging a monthly tariff of Rs. 70,590 for a maximum water supply of 18,10,000L which will come into effect from Mid-December.
“Water hardly gushes out once or twice a week but we are paying for 10,000 litres,” said Surendra Man Shakya, coordinator of Lalitpur Citizens Campaign adding, “Consumers are in additional burden after tariff hike on dry taps.” He said, “Based on KUKL's water supply and water consumption, this tariff hike has increased by five folds.” According to the experts, KUKL has hiked water tariff without increasing quantity of water supply but the company is already receiving 15 percent more revenue from the new 20,000 consumers added in the last fours years. Members of the commission have admitted that they have failed to reduce 40 percent leakage in the total water supply. Experts from water sector told that the KUKL collects 50 percent additional charge in the water tariff as sewerage charge but it does not do any works related to sewerage. | 2019-04-23T08:31:14 | http://www.ngoforum.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=7748&Itemid=72 |

WELCOME TO HAPPY MESS MOMENTS!
Happy Monday! This past weekend we celebrated Earth Day doing what we love…playing and exploring nature. But let’s face it….every day should be Earth Day…and we need to do all we can to protect her. That’s why I’m taking the Fresh Wave #CareAboutYourAir pledge.
Do you know what’s in your air freshener? It’s probably full of harmful ingredients that you can’t even pronounce and your family is breathing it. So when I got introduced to Fresh Wave, years ago (check my post here) – I never went back to the “other guys.” Fresh Wave’s natural odor removing products are made with simple, pure and natural ingredients — water and natural extracts of lime, pine needle, aniseed, clove and cedarwood. Plus it’s tough on odors yet gentle on the environment.
So join the movement with me and head over to Fresh Wave to take the pledge, here. And to help you swap out those harsh chemical products, I’m giving away a few of my favorites!

Warning: this post is going to be pretty math-heavy.
Let’s talk about spheres, or more generally, ellipsoids. Specifically, let’s talk about calculating axis aligned bounding boxes for arbitrarily transformed ellipsoids, which is a bit of an interesting problem I recently stumbled upon while working on Takua Rev 3. I’m making this post because finding a solution took a lot of searching and I didn’t find any single collected source of information on this problem, so I figured I’d post it for both my own reference and for anyone else who may find this useful.
So what’s so hard about calculating tight axis aligned bounding boxes for arbitrary ellipsoids?
One possible solution is to continue using the naive min/max axes approach, but simply expand the resultant AABB by some percentage such that it encompasses the whole sphere. However, we have no way of knowing what percentage will give an exact bound, so the only feasible way to use this fix is by making the AABB always larger than a tight fit would require. As a result, this solution is almost as undesirable as the naive solution, since the whole point of this exercise is to create as tight of an AABB as possible for as efficient intersection culling as possible!
Instead of min/maxing the axes, we need to use some more advanced math to get a tight AABB for ellipsoids.
where r is the radius of the sphere. So for a unit diameter sphere, r = .5. Once we have built S, we’ll take its inverse, which we’ll call SI.
In other news, Takua Rev 3’s new scene system is now complete and I am working on a brand new, better, faster, stackless KD-tree implementation. More on that later! | 2019-04-21T01:12:13 | https://blog.yiningkarlli.com/2013/02/bounding-boxes-for-ellipsoids.html |

A Christmas Gift For You is probably the greatest collection of Christmas hits ever. Legendary producer Phil Spector and his “wall-of-sound” technique is perfectly suited to the music of the season, as he proves with layer upon layer of piano, sleigh bells, buoyant percussion, and, of course, those legendary Spectorsound harmonies.
The Crystals turn their sassy interplay into sheer magic on “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town,” The Ronettes stroll sweetly through numbers like “Sleigh Ride,” while Darlene Love delivers a real knockout punch with her yearning version of “Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home).” Sure to become the soundtrack for your holidays.
This album was something of a revolution in its time, at least where Christmas music was concerned, although all that Phil Spector actually did was apply his normal production style to Christmas music. The Crystals, famous for Then he kissed me and Da doo ron ron, sing brilliant, energetic versions of Santa Claus is coming to town, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer and Parade of the wooden soldiers. The Ronettes, famous for Be my baby, are equally brilliant on Frosty the snowman, Sleigh ride and I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus. Bob B Soxx and the blue jeans, famous for Zip-a-de-doo-da, also excel on Bells of St Mary’s and Here comes Santa Claus.
Darlene Love, whose biggest success was as lead singer of the Crystals on He’s a rebel, sings four songs here, a rare chance for her to be credited as a solo performer. Christmas (Baby please come home) is the only original song here. White Christmas includes the rarely heard verse about being in Beverley Hills. The other two, Marshmallow world and Winter wonderland, are also outstanding.
The closing Silent night is just a series of spoken acknowledgements set to a backing track. Don’t worry about that – the twelve songs that go before set the standard for Christmas rock albums when it was first recorded and still do, because nobody has bettered it in the forty years since.
I wish to you and your families Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year 2009. Peace and Blessings!
My favourite Christmas album – Memories of childhood christmases come flooding back when this is playing.

Superb wall of sound production and great vocals make this an eternal seasonal joy! Merry Christmas nikos.
Very cool. Thanks. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Solidator 3D Printer - Support and Discussion Boar » Public Discussions » Finishing Tips » Print Finish Tips?
I'm currently printing hydroblocks on the Solidator. My last block is wedge shaped with springback draft angles going down to the base. Upon finishing the print I noticed there are ridges on the draft sides that look about .010 .in depth. I have the Z-layer thickness on .03mm. Does anybody have any tips on creating a smoother contour finish with the machine?

Those steps are due to the X and Y pixel size. Nothing you can do about them. The minimum "step" size in the X and Y direction is by definition the size of a single pixel of the projector. That is why I inquired about compatibility with 4K projectors, before I knew they were ridiculously expensive (over $10k!).
I recommend to use XTC 3D Coating [http://www.smooth-on.com/Epoxy-Coatings-XTC/c1397_1429/index.html] which will smooth the surface. Other solutions are to use a primer. LucidMovement here in the forum can let you know which primer works best. He said he has one that does NOT reduce part precision but fills all gaps perfectly. I would recommend to send him a Private Message.
Thanks guys. I will look into that finish. Precision is important.

This quote puts racist ideology on the pedestal Wilson thought it deserved.
Speaking to protesters of segregated battalions, Wilson’s patronizing words reflect the progressive mentality that government must tell the people how to regard the issues. The protest of the people is just loud ignorance. The military wasn’t desegregated until 1948. Certainly, Wilson set equality back during his presidency and earlier accomplishments for desegregation might have been made if it weren’t for Wilson’s championing it as a benefit to be cherished.
This 1914 New York Times quote firmly establishes Wilson to the modern reader as a smug jerk. Rather than sympathize with black people suffering under his presidency which aimed to hold them back, Wilson joked their problems away.
Wilson readily admits that politics weren’t the core issue during post civil war reconstruction. For him, the problem was that people he preferred to define as inferior to whites were “dominating” their way out of slavery.
Wilson shot off some absurd excuses for segregation. Just as he justified slavery by inventing weird and imaginary benefits, he had his excuses for why segregation was in black Americans’ best interests.
As President of Princeton, long before he became President of the United States, Wilson actively discouraged black people from applying to the University.
Distrust of anyone not originally from the US was encouraged by this progressive icon.
Wilson’s racism extended not only to a perceived “race problem” in the US, but the potential of more of them by the immigration of Asians.
Wilson’s words attacked the core of our founding principles. Of course the Constitution must change as a living document for Wilson, because in his assessment the constitution was wrong. | 2019-04-24T08:47:20 | https://thefederalistpapers.org/us/exposed-the-racist-roots-of-modern-liberalism |

Three of my poems published in isacoustic….
Perhaps a Southwestern state of mind is a prerequisite for a full appreciation of the Sandia Mountains and Chaco Canyon landscapes that populate Donna Snyder’s latest collection of poems, The Tongue Has Its Secrets. Yet a stranger to these parts can approximate a high-desert way of knowing, in the same way that a male reader may discern, if only as a tourist, the invocation of ghosts from a woman’s way of seeing, the subject at the heart of Snyder’s latest work.
What is evident from the first poems is that Snyder avoids the fear of modern vernacular that seems to occupy many poets who visit natural sites, hoping to evoke ancient gods. We could all be judicious with our language while trying for the perfect Mary Oliver setting, but any ancient god worth a prayer won’t mind the occasional reference to a pop song or video game. Snyder’s language is at once formal and casual, giving works like ‘Prepare to Ululate’ surprising depth.
from the north and not called blue.
warriors ride like furies across the frozen plain.
The wind takes my spirit in its arms and flees.
Mama lights the candle, locks the door.
There are plenty of two-lane highway odes in this world paying homage to modern gods of transport, and plenty of chants that attempt to revive Anasazi imagery, but Snyder is rare in being able to meld the two. Poems such as ‘Blue Norther’ and ‘My Heart Makes Chorus with the Coyotes’ successfully bring the two worlds together with an impressive degree of success.
Snyder obviously takes the most time with the multi-stanza works spanning two or three pages that attempt to disentangle layers of spirituality. Sometimes, the longer poems are not as effective as the shorter, more direct works. ‘Bear Who Loves a Woman’ is an obvious exception to this rule, a complex and interwoven longer work that is one of the book’s highlights.
The collection ends with the tight and disciplined ‘Supplication,’ which seeks to call upon the right panoply of gods without a wasted syllable. Many of Snyder’s fans may find the poem a perfect summation and distillation of the entire collection. But even those of us more secularly grounded in cynicism will find the pair of poems near the book’s end, ‘The Truth of Vikings’ and ‘Aqua de mi sierra madreTM ‘ to provide just the right mix of breathless voice and raised eyebrow. In short, there’s a brand of salvation in The Tongue Has Its Secrets appropriate for just about any seeker.
from the decks of ships fierce as dragons.
the leaves are chill flames.
aging body, rain, a woman’s sluggish heat.
in her own sweet skin.
the luster of her opalescent belly.
believe love will save them from sorrow.
There is no home now, they wail.
Death tastes like winter flowers.
things she is not supposed to know.
warriors tell each other secrets.
is a life suffered, a drunken waltz.
in the roar of music inside her head.
truth found in a harsh yellow light. | 2019-04-22T15:06:31 | https://donnajosnyderpoet.wordpress.com/category/neopoiesis-press/ |

I have not been able to come up to collect my orders the past few years. I hope you, Jimmy and the rest of the team are doing well.
Can you believe that this was my 9th Year buying fireworks for the annual display that I do for some friends?!
Anyway, I am more than happy for you to use the video. Unfortunately, it was out of focus for a moment at the start, but it worked out in the end. It was the first time for my daughter to film it.
As always they were outstanding fireworks which went off without a hitch (except when I was distracted watching them and let more portfire burnout), and the variety and effects were excellent. I always spend a long time designing the display to have variety, and this year worked out brilliantly. | 2019-04-21T18:33:20 | https://epicfireworks.com/blog/2018/11/andys-epic-fireworks-bonfire-display-nov-2018/ |

Out of Ms. Brockmann’s many fabulous heroes, all of whom I adore, I *totally* fell in love with Admiral Jake Robinson! What a man! He is utterly idealistic and principled, but there is never a second of “sappiness” in the author’s presentation of his heroism. She provides totally believable motivation for exactly why he seems so noble to others. In short: no matter how many people he has saved in Vietnam and throughout the rest of his illustrious career, he has always regretted the ones he wasn’t able to save.
At 52, Jake has been widowed for several years after a happy, 30-year marriage to an artist. The heroine, Zoe Lange, is different in every way from Jake’s deceased wife, but she is truly his soul mate. Like him, she works in covert operations and feels a huge adrenaline rush from the danger. Because their work is so similar, Zoe understands Jake’s career as his dead wife never could.
Many times internal conflicts such as Jake’s guilt about the age difference between him and Zoe can get tedious in romance because the hero’s “angsting” gets excessive. Happily, Ms. Brockmann never crosses that line. The very traits of honor and commitment and deep, abiding love that make the heroine fall in love with Jake are the things that believably keep them apart until the tumultuous climax.
Zoe is a fabulous heroine. Brilliant, competent, and independent, she never wanted to marry because she put her career above everything else in life. She loves her work as a scientist specializing in biological warfare. Like Jake, she knows her work is very important because it saves so many lives. So up until Jake, she only got involved with men as potential lovers that she was sure she would fall in love with only a little bit.
However, almost immediately with Jake she realizes this is not going to be the case. She loses her previous control, because it is impossible to keep any distance from this incredible man.
As for the love scenes–whew! TOTALLY HOT! Because Ms. Brockmann writes in close-third point of view, we get to be intensely immersed in the passionate feelings of each character in these scenes as well as all others. The author never distracts us by the dizzying head-hopping many other romance authors succumb to. We are always close-in and utterly personally involved by her seamless writing style.
All in all this is a truly magnificent book worthy of the many awards it will undoubtedly win, as so many other of Ms. Brockmann’s books have. The only “complaint” I have is that the book had to end! | 2019-04-26T10:23:08 | http://katemcmurry.com/the-admirals-bride-by-suzanne-brockmann/ |
Women have been doing laundry for thousands of years. Some days, it feels like I’ve been doing laundry for thousands of years myself. Since the kids are now 17 and 22, some of the laundry has now become their responsibility. I’m the first person to admit that I should have started them on laundry years ago. This post contains affiliate links.
I try to pay attention to the little things when I do laundry. The kids sort of use the “throw it all in the washer together and pray” philosophy of laundry. Today, when I was getting ready to start a load of laundry, I noticed that my daughter left her clothes in the dryer. Being an amazing, helpful mom, I removed them and folded them not without noticing the ink pen, lighter and wadded up pieces of paper that had also gone through the laundry. Thank heaven nothing was ruined.
I guess it’s time to have another discussion about what we do when we put the laundry into the washing machine including emptying pockets and not filling the laundry detergent cup until it overflows. We also need to talk about natural laundry boosters since a few of her white tops are looking dingy. Natural laundry boosters can help remove stains and get clothes cleaner. These are the ones that work for my family.
Hydrogen Peroxide – Hydrogen Peroxide is a fantastic choice for removing stains. I have safely used it on brights and colors many times but it can have natural bleaching properties so check in a small inconspicuous place first to be certain. Just spray it directly onto the stain or you can add a half cup to the bleach dispenser in your washer to treat the whole load of laundry.
Lemon Juice – Just like you can add lemon juice to your hair to lighten it, you can add lemon juice to your laundry to brighten whites. Do not use lemon juice on colors because it will have a bleaching effect. Wash your white towels or sheets as normal, remove them from the washing machine & spray lightly with lemon juice. Then set out in the sun to dry.
White Vinegar – White vinegar can help remove stains but what it’s really best at is as a softener and an odor remover. Add a half a cup of white vinegar with each load of clothing to help with these problems. This works wonderfully on my son’s stinky work out clothes.
Washing Soda – Washing soda is NOT baking soda. You can find washing soda in the laundry aisle. Washing soda is also known as sodium carbonate and is basically sodium, carbon, and oxygen. Follow the directions on the package.
These natural laundry boosters will help take some of the work out of doing the laundry every day. These are common household solutions that women used long before commercial laundry products were available. They’re inexpensive and much better for the environment that many other laundry products.
I like white vinegar the best of those on your list. I can buy it on sale for very little and by the gallon so it lasts longer. Sometimes I can find it for less than a dollar for a whole gallon. I hate dingy clothes but also use vinegar to clean the coffee pot. I let the apt people clean the washing machines!
It does work great in coffee pots too, Deb!
Great tips! I put vinegar in every load. Another natural laundry tip is to use the sun to bleach out stains, easy, free and it works really well.
Thanks so much, Lisa. Now I just need more sun!
I have heard of using white vinegar and lemon juice as laundry boosters, but I have not tried either of these. I have never heard of washing soda, very interesting. Thank you for sharing this post, I found it very informative.
Glad to help! Hope you have a chance to try them. | 2019-04-20T11:01:11 | https://confessionsofanover-workedmom.com/natural-laundry-boosters/ |
If yeshiva students were kidnapped by terorrists, UN has the power to assist in their release, write students to Ban Ki-moon.
Israel’s National Student and Youth Council on Friday sent a letter to United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, urging him to take action and help locate the three yeshiva students who went missing on Thursday.
“At this stage, we will appreciate your help in locating these innocent three teenagers, as well as your involvement towards their immediate release,” the students wrote Ban.
The three students, two of whom are from the Makor Chaim Yeshiva in the religious kibbutz Kfar Etzion, went missing Thursday night.
All communication was lost with them as they were on their way home from the yeshiva, located in Gush Etzion, roughly between Jerusalem and Hevron in Judea. Security sources suspect they may have been taken into a vehicle driven by terrorists that stopped for them as they waited at a popular hitchhiking spot.
Massive IDF and police forces have been searching in the hours since the suspected kidnapping to try and locate the three young students, one of whom is a joint Israeli-American citizen.
IDF Spokesman Motti Almoz said on Friday evening that the IDF and the entire defense establishment were doing everything in their power to locate the three missing students.
Justice Minister Tzipi Livni met U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry in London and asked him to help in the search for the three yeshiva students.
Livni told Kerry that rapid action is necessary under the circumstances.
After Livni’s meeting with Kerry, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu spoke with Kerry on the phone and linked the suspected kidnapping with the inclusion of Hamas in the new Hamas-Fatah government.
"What is happening on the ground since Hamas was added to the government is a deterioration of the situation. This is the direct result of allowing a murderous and racist terrorist organization into the government," Netanyahu told Kerry. | 2019-04-22T15:02:17 | http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/181697 |

Based on Jean Webster’s 1912 novel, this musical two-hander stars Megan McGinnis as Jerusha Abbott, an orphan with a mysterious benefactor who is not the elderly man she imagines but a privileged younger man who has heretofore cut himself off from emotional connection. Director John Caird’s book honors the epistolary form of its source, and the two protagonists -- Jerusha and her mentor Jervis Pendleton (beautifully played by Adam Halpin) -- speak (or sing) through their letters throughout the evening.
Paul Gordon’s music and lyrics tell the story in the same astute way as his 2001 “Jane Eyre”; he has a real knack for this sort of material. Though not period sounding -- ideally, the melodies ought to have the lilt of, say, Ivan Caryll or early Jerome Kern -- and yet, they somehow don’t sound at odds with the material. Apart from the Fred Astaire-Leslie Caron musical film (which, for all its charms, bore scant resemblance to its source), there was “Love from Judy,” a 1952 British musical with music by Hugh Martin which, based on the cast recordings of the time, sounds bland and exceedingly dull. This version has far more integrity.
Caird’s meticulous care in honoring Webster’s themes -- as he puts it in a program note “the growth of a woman’s spirit and independence” and it being a story of “personal growth and emotional evolution” -- doesn’t get in the way of it being a wonderful love story with much the same texture and ultimate audience payoff as “She Loves Me.” Both share the device of correspondents who are clueless that the soulmates to whom they are writing are people they already know.
The Davenport Theatre stage is small but David Farley’s richly designed set -- warmly lit by Paul Toben -- serves as Jervis’ study, Jerusha’s school, and myriad other locales, and Farley’s costumes are beautifully evocative. You’re transported to another world for the two hours running time.
Music Director Brad Haak has done the pleasing small-scaled arrangements and orchestrations. And Peter Fitzgerald’s sound design gives just the right heft without overpowering the intimate space.
I can’t praise McGinnis and Halpin (Mr. & Mrs. in real life) too much -- they carry a tremendous load at every performance -- and though I caught up with the show well into the run, they seemed as fresh as if the show has only just opened.
This is a charming, romantic, and underneath it all, serious-minded, show well worth catching.
Generally appealing performances and solid production values highlight this pleasantly oddball musical based on Natalie Babbitt’s beloved young adult novel about 11-year-old girl Winnie (Sarah Charles Lewis), who encounters an immortal family in the woods, bonds with one of the sons, while a villainous character known as the Man in the Yellow Suit (Terrence Mann) tries to purloin the magic waters that gave the family its eternal youth.
Casey Nicholaw, who usually traffics in edgier material (“The Book of Mormon,” “Something Rotten,” even “Aladdin”), shifts gears for this rather homespun and certainly fanciful tale, and provides some nice balletic and period choreography particularly a number at the local fair where Walt Spangler’s scenic design and Gregg Barnes’ costumes are at their splashiest.
Chris Miller’s folkish music and Nathan Tysen’s lyrics are decent, if sometimes derivative of other shows. Winnie’s musical vocabulary, for instance, seems heavily influenced by Little Red Riding Hood in “Into the Woods,” but she is most engagingly played by Lewis who is, like her character, 11.
Carolee Carmello as the Tuck family matriarch makes the strongest impression, but the cast is quite appealing across the board, including Michael Park as husband Angus, Robert Lenzi as brooding son Miles, and Andrew Keenan-Bolger as mischievous Jesse who falls in love with Winnie. Mann makes a convincing villain. And Valerie Wright and Pippa Pearthree are sweet as Winnie’s mother and maiden aunt.
The ever-reliable Fred Applegate plays Constable Joe, who is set on the case of finding missing Winnie when she goes missing in the woods. And he and Michael Wartella, who plays his sidekick Hugo, share a jaunty vaudeville-style number.
Nicholaw has devised a lengthy circle of life ballet near the end with echoes of Agnes DeMille’s classic story ballets, though you see pretty quickly where it’s going, so it seems to overstay its welcome.
The mortality theme and the conclusion that leading a good life being better than forever forever are not too tragic or heavy-handed for those seeking family-friendly entertainment.
The music supervision of Rob Berman and music director Mary-Mitchell Campbell is as well crafted as the show’s the other elements.
The production premiered at Atlanta’s Alliance Theatre last year.
Deep among the indelible memories of my theatergoing life are singer Lynnie Godfrey sprawled on a piano suggestively growling “Daddy” and later, Gregory Hines shuffling onto the stage forlornly singing the plaintive “Low Down Blues” ultimately gorgeously merging with sweet-voiced Ethel Beatty who had just sung her own song about loneliness. The show was 1978’s “Eubie!” a fabulous tribute to composer Eubie Blake, then still very much alive and making the rounds of all the talk shows at the time, as he rode a new wave of fame.
Both those numbers surface again in “Shuffle Along,” which takes its title from the groundbreaking 1921 show written by Blake and his partner Noble Sissle, with book by F.E. Miller and Aubrey Lyles. But the new “Shuffle Along” is, as the subtitle states, “The Making of the Musical Sensation of 1921 and All That Followed,” not an actual revival of the original show.
Thus, we have, as in so many musical films of yesteryear, a behind-the-scenes story about putting on a show – one with an all-black cast -- against all odds. In tone, it struck me very like the 1999 film “Cradle Will Rock” about the challenging original production of Marc Blitzstein’s opera.
A great cast has been assembled here: Brian Stokes Mitchell (as handsome a leading man as ever) is Miller; Billy Porter is Lyles; Joshua Henry is Sissle; and Brandon Victor Dixon is Blake. And then there’s Audra McDonald as star Lottie Gee who falls into a long-term romance with the married Blake who simply won’t leave his wife (whom we never actually see). Any concerns that playing Billie Holiday might have damaged McDonald’s lustrous sopranos are squarely laid to rest by her high flying tones here.
Savion Glover has created some quite sensational choreography, involving the entire cast including the creators just mentioned all of whom were, in fact, also in the show. Decked out in Ann Roth’s eye-filling costumes and performing on Santo Loquasto’s stunning art deco sets, the show is quite the visual feast.
Music supervisor Daryl Waters has done the snazzy arrangements and orchestrations, and they sound splendid. The aforementioned “Eubie!” songs come up sounding very different on this occasion; not better, but different. McDonald, using her legit voice, does a most delightfully provocative “Daddy” minus Godfrey’s pelvic thrusts and growling vocals and Porter offers a powerfully vocalized “Low Down Blues” unlike Hines’ relatively understated version. All these approaches seem valid, and in terms of authenticity, McDonald’s version does, in fact, sound closer to original “Shuffle” star Gertrude Saunders recording.
George C. Wolfe has directed with his usual craft and and imagination, but I’m sorry to report that it’s his own book that ultimately lets the show down, not fatally, I hasten to add, for this still a marvelous, must-see show. But I couldn’t help wishing that, like “Eubie!,” it had simply presented the songs in revue style.
Annoyingly, the songs are not listed in the program, and indeed some are only heard in fragments. Sometimes the fragment gives way to a full production number; other times not. If they record a CD – which I surely hope they do – it will require some fancy rearranging of the score.
The first act leads up to the New York opening – not truly on Broadway but at the 63rd Street Music Hall situated between Broadway and Central Park West. The second act – rumored to be a letdown after the first – actually sustains the entertainment value, albeit with a less certain dramatic arc, dramatizing, as it does, the unfortunate rift between Blake and Sissle and Lyles and Miller, and then offering verbal postscripts to what happened to the characters and when they died. The latter is done in a sardonic, cheerful manner, but it’s an obvious downer.
Some scenes are just head-scratchers as, for instance when Lottie, as the temperamental star, takes the young Florence Mills (Adrienne Warren who also plays Saunders) under wing as the latter begins to tentatively warble “I’ve Craving That Kind of Love,” but the expected knock-em-dead moment where Mills proves she doesn’t need Lottie’s coaching doesn’t quite happen. Instead, Mills continues singing, while Lottie just skulks around the periphery of the stage.
For all its faults, “Shuffle Along” is second to none for pure, entertainment pleasure.
There was little dancing here, and not much of Guy Bolton’s book for that matter in John Ostendorf’s reduction, and the titular heroine now had singing aspirations rather than terpsichorean. The orphan Sally was played with by Carey Mulligan lookalike Emma Grimsley with a nice air of melancholy and quiet determination to better her lot (she is hired as a restaurant dishwasher in the opening scene).
Into the café, run by Pops (Richard Holmes who played all the character parts most capably), comes wealthy Blair (a very boyish Alex Corson saddled with an unfortunate hat) and it’s love at first sight when he meets Sally. They sang the show’s hit tune “Look for the Silver Lining” gracefully, and Blair followed this with a stylish “Dear Little Girl” with its “Sally of the Alley” refrain.
Before long, theatrical agent Otis (Adam Cannedy) and his girlfriend, manicurist Rosie (vocal and comic standout Claire Kuttler) contrive to have Sally impersonate a Russian countess at a lavish party thrown by Blair’s wealthy father (never actually seen here) after the actual Russian lady cancels her appearance. So, too, Pops’ waiter Connie (Constantine), actually an impoverished Duke from Czechogovenia, will come to the party in full ducal regalia.
Sally pulls off the impersonation well (with Grimsley affecting a good Russian accent), and sings the infectious “Wild Rose,” but it isn’t long before Blair recognizes her, and the ruse begins to unravel.
The singers were a thoroughly appealing bunch. Cannedy’s numbers displayed flair and a good unaffected baritone evident from his first number “On With the Dance,” and likewise, Elsesser, very funny as the duke turned waiter, knocked his big number “The Schnitza-Kommiski” out of the park. Holmes’ most sustained singing came in the amusing trio “The Lorelei” (sung with Cannedy and Kuttler), and he had helpful bits in other numbers, displaying his mellifluous baritone and stage savvy in each. Kuttler and Cannedy delivered another of the score’s hits, “The Church ‘Round the Corner,” and sang it with charm. Throughout, the men provided neat backup harmony when needed.
Spare though the production was, director Gary Slavin, expert at this sort of material, made it work. His blocking was always ingenious and apt.
Music director Jerry Steichen provided exceptionally fine piano accompaniment, even playing an abridged version of Victor Herbert’s “Butterfly Ballet.” (Yes, the great man was enlisted by original producer Florenz Ziegfeld to supply the lengthy third act sequence.) In a very cute bit of business, Kuttler and Ballenger joined Steichen on the piano bench midway through the ballet and assisted on the eighty-eights.
Compact though it was, LOONY’s production had far more integrity than the 1988 concert version which was the unfortunately swan song of the great New Amsterdam Theater Company whose founder Bill Tynes had by then died, and was taken over by new management which, after “Sally,” scuttled the company.
The usual modest orchestra for LOONY’s spring show – along with a set and full costumes -- were, alas, casualties of funding limitations. However, it was announced that the forthcoming CD recording will feature one. For now, there exists a quite decent account of the score from Comic Opera Guild with two piano accompaniment.
It was rather fitting that the performances took place at Theater 80 St.Marks, a famous movie revival house back in the 1970s dedicated to musicals, where some of Marilyn Miller’s films were screened for the first time in decades.
You can see Marilyn Miller in all her glory in the film version of “Sally,” which occasionally gets an airing on TCM, and is available on DVD from Warner Archive. Only three of Kern’s songs were used, but it’s one of the rare instances of a legendary performer whose magic truly translates to film. Her dancing was quite spectacular, but as LOONY’s lovely little production made clear, the quality of the material can do well enough without dancing.
My heart sank when the usher handed me a two-page glossary along with the program as I took my seat.
But before long, the ear adjusts to those accents and the strange words. And though the play is demanding and, shall we say, leisurely paced, there were no walkouts during the interval.
That’s due in large part to the fine ensemble cast of seven (Will Barton, Simon Greenall, Matthew Kelly, Kieran Knowles, Steve Nicolson, Matt Sutton, and John Wark), each of whom totally inhabits his character, so we begin to feel a good sense of empathy, and become much more invested in them as the play progresses. And the casual day-to-day banter of the canteen in which the action is set becomes far more interesting with the appearance of a peculiar local student who, it appears, may not be what he first appears; there is even a suggestion of the supernatural.
Director Eleanor Rhode creates a totally naturalistic atmosphere, and dramatizes the camaraderie of the men quite superbly.
It’s almost unfair to single out any of the cast, as they are such a fine, tightly knit ensemble, but Kelly is quite amazing as the oldest of the workers (nickname “Nellie”) whose years of toil have made him almost a walking zombie. But taciturn as his character is, you find yourself riveted to his presence.
Still, be warned, “Toast” is a far cry from the side-splitting antics of Bean’s wonderful Goldoni adaptation, “One Man, Two Guvnors” which put James Corden on the map when he did it on Broadway in 2012. There is humor here, yes, but of a more understated kind.
James Turner’s canteen set – where the workers gather for a smoke or a sandwich -- tells you everything you need to know about the bleakness of their jobs. Mike Robertson’s harsh lighting – dimming ominously twice at key points -- is right on target. And Max Pappenheim’s sound design – the thudding and constant undercurrent of the oven -- never lets us forget where we are.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson is extremely impressive as a beleaguered basement switchboard operator at a trendy restaurant. He plays the parts of all the callers, male and female, shifting effortlessly from entitled VIPs (or presumptive VIPs), all of whom are expecting not only reservations but, of course, the best tables, to the restaurant staff upstairs, including the demanding chef, and myriad characters from his personal life, including (most poignantly) his widowed father who’d like him to come home for Christmas.
We’re told that for this production, playwright Becky Mode has “updated the play to reflect today’s foodie and restaurant culture,” and certainly the names have needed to be revised from the original 1999 Vineyard production. Thus we now have Gwyneth Paltrow’s office making all sorts of pesky requests, along with more garden variety calls such as the senior citizen complaining that an AARP discount wasn’t honored on a recent visit (and whining that the food wasn’t hot enough).
Unfortunately, the play – first done with Mark Setlock (credited with creating some of the characters) -- quickly becomes a mite tedious, for all of Ferguson’s charm and appeal. One admires his craft, and the sheer technical feat of sustaining such a frenetic pace for so long, and one can smile at the some of the play’s conceits, but I found laugh-out-loud moments surprisingly few. And for all of Ferguson’s virtuoso skill, in truth it was sometimes tricky to sort out the characters; a few of them sounded too much alike.
Derek McLane has designed an eye-catching and colorful, pipe encased basement (lighted by Ben Stanton), though I’m told the Vineyard (then Cherry Lane) original had a more suitably claustrophobic feel. Maybe a Broadway house, even one as intimate as the Lyceum, is just too big.
Director Jason Moore blocks his star for maximum visual variety, and makes sure the pace never flags. .
The versatile Jessie Mueller, leaving her Carole King persona completely aside, proves again what a savvy musical theater performer she is with her warm, human portrayal of a roadside diner waitress in this likable adaptation of the late Adrienne Shelly’s 2007 film of the same title.
With a country-flavored score by Sara Bareilles and book (which, I’m told, is faithful to the film) by Jessie Nelson, the story concerns Jenna (Mueller), an abused wife with a talent for making scrumptious pies. She's married to the scarily dominating Earl (Nick Cordero), and she falls in love with her married gynecologist (Drew Gehling). At work she’s supported by her waitress girlfriends, the gutsy Becky (Keala Settle) and the meek Dawn (Kimoko Glenn). They work under the watchful eye of the gruff Cal (Eric Anderson).
There’s very good work, too, from Dakin Matthews as an irascible customer who ultimately proves not so unlikable as we think at first. And Charity Angel Dawson as Dr. Pomatter’s sardonic nurse demonstrates great comic delivery.
Production credits are all fine from Scott Pask’s colorful set design to Suttirat Anne Larlarb’s costumes and Christopher Akerlin’s lighting.
I never saw the film, but there is something a little off-putting from a dramaturgical standpoint. The adulterous affair between Jenna and the doctor doesn't quite set easily though Jenna's motivation is certainly understandable, and there’s a similar subplot with like issues.
Lorin Latarro has contributed some lively choreography for Bareilles’ more upbeat numbers.
One other carp: the lyrics weren’t always intelligible, as when Mueller puts over the eleven o’clock number, “She Used to Be Mine,” which she delivers with considerable passion (not sure if that was the fault of her Southern accent or Jonathan Deans’ sound design).
The show premiered at director Diane Paulus’ American Repertory Theater at Harvard last August. Commendably and logically, given the storyline and the film's origins, the top tier of the creative team are all women.
Jessica Lange is at the top of her considerable game as the drug-addicted Mary Tyrone in Jonathan Kent’s powerful revival of Eugene O’Neill’s towering posthumous semi-autobiographical masterpiece. It’s the sort of performance that set me pondering parallels to Laurette Taylor’s legendary performance in “The Glass Menagerie,” one often cited by those who saw it as the best they had ever seen. As it is, I do feel Lange’s performance ranks in my personal Top Five.
The play is over three and a half hours long, and she is onstage for nearly all of it, not making a false move as she transitions from loving mother and wife to needful addict resentful of her family’s suspicions and oh-so-piteously lonely in the shabby summer house (evocatively designed by Tom Pye) that her penny-pinching husband has provided for them, one she has never felt to be truly a home. Lange makes one feel her desperate plight as never before, and from a technical point of view, her acting is quite remarkable. Her line readings always seem so right, and there’s an innate musicality in her accomplished delivery.
She is not acting in a vacuum either. Gabriel Byrne as husband James Tyrone, a once promising actor who has long abandoned his artistic aspirations for a popular role with which he endlessly tours the country, plays him as less hamily theatrical than some, and conveys his deep love of Mary, despite her flaws, most beautifully. His Irish heritage gives the role a wonderful authenticity.
As sons Edmund (the Eugene O’Neill prototype) and wastrel Jamie, John Gallagher, Jr. and Michael Shannon are very fine, and do superlative work with their last act set-pieces. Colby Minifie has a good turn as the maid Cathleen who shares a lengthy scene with Mary.
One marvels again at what a terrific play this is, and how expertly O’Neill captures the rhythms of how people really talk: argumentative and hurtful one moment, conciliatory and loving the next.
Jane Greenwood’s costumes, Natasha Katz’s lighting, and Clive Goodwin’s sound design (with its repetitive distant fog horn) are all tops.
If you think you’re not up to sitting through yet another production of this particular play, I’d urge you to think again. In spite of its length, the play never ceases to hold your rapt attention, thanks to Kent’s well modulated helming and, in fact, flies by far faster than the 55 minutes of this season’s unfortunate revival of O’Neill’s “Hughie”!
Alyce Mott’s enterprising group, dedicated to rejuvenating the works of the multi-faceted composer, in fact performed the last named in a condensed version in March. But now, the company has revived one of the lesser known works, the 1897 “The Serenade,” one of Herbert’s first hits when it was performed by the esteemed Bostonians light opera company and starred an ambitious young soprano with a bright future called Alice Nielsen.
At the time the show was praised for its uncommonly fine score, and generally humorous book and lyrics (by frequent Herbert collaborator Harry B. Smith). It’s a wonder then, that unlike some of Herbert’s other works, hardly any of the songs have gotten much of a hearing either in concerts or recordings, surprising as there are some quite delightful ones here.
This is said to be the first revival of the authentic version in over 100 years, not counting a considerably altered 1930 revival which had a brief run along with four other Herbert works on Broadway.
The setting is Spain, and the action concerns a group of bandits who call themselves the Royal Madrid Brigands Association, Ltd. Their leader Romero (Matthew Wages) leads a double life as a monk on alternate days to atone for his bad deeds the rest of time with his comrades. The allegedly haunted castle on which they have cast their sights is about to receive a new tenant: a near-sighted Duke (David Seatter) and his ward Dolores (Vira Slywotzky) on whom he harbors romantic designs. But Dolores loves operatic baritone Alvarado (Bray Wilkins) who won her heart when he first sang the titular serenade to her. He is now part of the Duke’s retinue posing as a postillion. Onto the scene comes Yvonne (Natalie Ballenger in the Nielsen role), her father Columbo (Glenn Seven Allen), a former tenor from the opera, and Gomez (Brian Kilday), a tone-deaf tenor who hopes to woo Dolores himself with the serenade. Yvonne loves Lopez (Stephen Faulk), part of Romero’s gang.
Farcical complications arise in the second act which is set in the monastery where Alvarado hopes to connect with Dolores, now temporarily enrolled in the adjoining convent school, while Yvonne plans to trap the fickle Alvarado who once jilted her.
The strong-voiced cast gave an excellent account of the score, and though Herbert’s marvelous orchestrations (some of which were heard in a 1998 Little Orchestra Society Herbert concert under Dino Anagnost) were missed, ace pianist William Hicks provided solid musical accompaniment, by turns rousing and tender. The whole was authoritatively led by Music Director Michael Thomas.
Some of the lyrics were inevitably lost in the reverberant church acoustic, but diction was, for the most part, reasonably clear.
Unlike “The Fortune Teller” and some of the other pocket versions Mott has presented, this one was reasonably complete apart from the Act II finale, and some trimming of the Act I finale. There was even an interesting restoration: Romero’s legend of the haunted castle, which was intended for the final act, but which Mott sensibly moved to the first.
The musical highlights -- all superbly delivered by the cast -- were many. Wages “Song of the Carbine”; Ballenger’s infectiously catchy “In Fair Andalusia” sung in delightful counterpoint with the monks; her “Cupid and I” with its impressively vocalized cadenza; Slywotzky’s moving “Angelus” (different than the one in Herbert’s “Sweethearts”); Seatter’s impish “Woman, Lovely Woman”; Faulk’s sweetly vocalized “I Envy the Bird”; a deft quartet; the infectious “Don Jose of Seville” (with its catchy “pif paf” refrain); and, of course, the title number first sung in duet by Wilkins and Slywotsky, then reprised in various guises including off-key by the humorous Kilday as the hapless Gomez, and even by the monks as a chant. The second act, in particular, featured one good tune after another.
There were some interesting echoes of other operettas with which Herbert was clearly familiar. Romero’s haunted castle song bore echoes of “The Ghosts High Noon” from “Ruddigore,” and the Duke might have walked in from a Gilbert & Sullivan opera, too.
The situations in Harry B. Smith’s book were not exactly what you’d call hilarious. In truth, as one of the original reviews noted, “some of the [tomfoolery] was foolish without being funny.” But it all registered as good-natured fun.
Next season will have a distinctly Irish theme leading up to a gala production of his gorgeous Irish operetta, “Eileen.” on the occasion of that work’s centenary, with another Herbert rarity promised: his 1915 “The Princess Pat” (with an Irish heroine), and what sounds like a fascinatingly eclectic program of Herbert’s Irish-flavored songs. | 2019-04-22T21:59:11 | http://www.harryforbes.com/2016/05/ |
Brother Neil's new album 'Away Avenue Away' is almost here. It's a project that Neil labored over with his childhood friend and music partner Mike Whaling for two years. The journey started and was completed at an old dance hall in Russeldale, Ontario that Mike had converted into a studio. Russeldale is a town without a population, a perfect setting to build a studio free of distractions. There was talk that the building was haunted and psychics had even evaluated the space years before. The mediums had claimed to feel the spirits of a woman and a small child. One of the spirits names was Sarah. They agreed the hall should be called "Sarah's Hall." They felt welcome and comfortable in the space and recorded most of the record in that great room. The natural acoustics created a remarkable atmosphere. A warmth that emulated the sound of classic soul recordings, with the effervescence and exploration of modern recordings. The classic sound envelopes first single 'Off My Mind,' creating a vibe that has one foot in the retro stylings of the past, while also creating a unique signature sound, that only this location with these players could create.
The new LP 'Away Avenue Away' is out June 30th. | 2019-04-23T00:16:55 | http://www.gratefulweb.com/articles/brother-neil-release-away-avenue-away |

At first glance you might think the photos above show two separate homes which have been renovated in first class style. Well, the style statement is correct, and yes, they were renovated, but today the two houses that once backed against up to each other are now one single family residence. 1015 Elgin Lane, Key West, Florida is listed by Preferred Properties Key West, that’s where I work but this is not my listing. I got to see the house for the first time yesterday during a brokers open house. I have written previous blogs homes on Elgin Lane which is only two blocks long and runs parallel to Eaton Street. It starts at White Street and ends at Grinnell Street. The Old Town Bakery is located at corner of Grinnell Street and is a landmark all returning visitors to Key West should recognize. The lane itself is fairly narrow and not well traveled by anyone except the folks who live on the lane.
The two houses at 1014 Eaton and 1015 Elgin Lane were joined together by the owner to create one larger home. The houses were taken apart and totally rebuilt from foundation up. I suspect the original Elgin house was rotated on its side and the kitchen addition added. New piers, joists, and all building elements were replaced or updated as necessary. New windows, plumbing and electricity, HVAC, insulation, and drywall were added. The original floors were kept, however, and they are in remarkably good shape.
Even though the Eaton Street facade still has a street numeral and separate bricked off street parking space, there is just one legal address at 1015 Elgin Lane. When I first arrived at the house I did a quick walk through the first floor and opened the front door. It was a few minutes after noon and we are in spring break. Eaton Street was busy with traffic. I shut the door and heard nothing. I opened it again and heard the traffic. I paused in the hallway behind the front door. I heard nothing. I went into the adjacent master bedroom and listened at the window. I heard nothing. I mention this for good reason – even I assumed I would hear traffic. I was wrong. By the way the louvered shutters on the historic photo may have been operational to allow air into the old house. While the shutters still exist in 2018, the wall behind the shutters is solid.
The master bedroom is fairly large and has a large en-suite bath. There is a guest bath located adjacent. The living room and dining room, entry foyer, and kitchen are located in the Elgin Lane portion of the home.
During the renovation the common living spaces were opened into an amazing open living environment. Dining room has a high pitched cathedral ceiling with French doors which open out to the pool and garden The interior living space is great but it expands immensely when the doors are opened to the great outdoors.
The pool and garden are very well thought out and purposed. French doors open out to the deck which is on the same plain as the interior floors. The transition from inside to outdoors goes unnoticed except that once outside you know you’re in a magical tropical setting. The length of the pool surprised me but should not have because the lot size is very large: an irregular rectangle that measures approximately 51.58′ X 80′. The new Trex decks line the pool on either side and lead to a step-down area where the grill is located amid adjacent tropical foliage. There is a semi-formal dining area on the Elgin Lane side of the pool. The entire east side of the home is bricked and has off street parking on both Elgin Lane and Eaton Street.
There are two good sized bedrooms on the second floor which share a bath. The owners used the knee wall space to create additional storage. In searching my shoebox for photos I found a picture of a former owner of the house, V. Oscar Arenberg (1863-1954) who was a ship carpenter employed by William Curry and Sons shipbuilders. The listing broker told me the owners have lots of photos which show the entire renovation of this home. You can see from the above photos the pride of ownership and the attention to detail that went into this very special home. | 2019-04-25T22:38:28 | http://krystalthomaskeywest.com/1501-elgin-beauty-in-the-heart-of-key-west/ |
there has been a bug report on the mailing list that specs fail on JRuby for the beloved sidekiq project for JRuby. Specs pass with Ruby 1.9.3 and 2.0. It seems like the bug manifests in the minitest library but I haven't done any kind of deep investigation.
To follow on to Tobi's comments, the spec in question (and similar specs) pass on MRI. The reason for the failure appears to be that in JRuby '==' is called for objects in an Array, while the '==' method is not on the automatically permitted method list for Minitest::Mock objects.
We will fix this and their optimization reduces dynamic dispatches but from a mocking perspective their behavior feels inconsistent. OTOH, I have not fully fixed this yet so my theory could be wrong.

Fire doors are rated by how many minutes they can keep a fire at bay.
California building code dictates that any entry door connecting a garage to a house must be fire-rated. The minimum rating is 20 minutes, meaning the door can withstand and prevent heat and fire from breaching through the door for that long. Fire-rated doors come pre-hung, meaning the door, sill, jambs and brick molding come as a pre-assembled unit. A fire-rated door may be made of steel or wood, but either way, they are very heavy, so having a person assist you in lifting and positioning the door is helpful.
Measure the rough opening in the wall framing to ensure it is large enough for the height, width and depth dimensions required to install the door. These dimensions are printed in the instructions that came with the door.
Place multiple beads of polyurethane caulk under the door sill or on top of the framing on which the door sill will sit. Place a bead of polyurethane caulk along the back side of the brick molding.
Lift the door into position from the outside, and place it in the rough opening. Push the door so that the brick molding is flat against the garage-side wall.
Pre-drill 1/8-inch holes through the hinge-side jambs near each hinge. Place the level along the hinge-side jamb to check that it is plumb left to right as well as forward and backward while facing the door. Drive a 3-inch screw through each pre-drilled hole and into the wall framing. Do not tighten the screws all the way.
Place tapered shims immediately above and below the screws. Adjust the shims in or out to take up the slack between the jamb and the wall as necessary, while ensuring the jamb is perfectly plumb. Tighten the screws. The screw heads should be slightly below the surface of the jamb. Trim the excess material from the shims by first scoring the shim with a utility knife, then snapping the excess off at the scored line.
Pre-drill holes in the latch-side jamb in the approximate locations as you did on the hinge-side jamb. Check the jamb for plumb as you did on the hinge side. Measure from the top left corner of the door frame to the bottom right corner. Then measure from the top right corner to the bottom left corner. These two measurements should be exactly the same for the door to be square.
Screw 3-inch exterior screws through the pre-drilled holes into the wall framing, but do not screw them in completely. Install tapered shims as necessary to fill the void between the jamb and the wall framing, then screw the screws in completely. The screw heads should be slightly below the surface of the jamb.
Remove the transport or shipping latch from the latch pocket. Install the door handle, latch kit and deadbolt, if provided, according to the manufacturer's instructions. Open the door and check that it closes completely on its own and latches shut, as it should due to the self-closing latches. If the door does not latch shut on its own, adjust the spring tension in the latches according to the manufacturer's instructions. There are several styles, so adjustment techniques may vary.
Shoot finishing nails through the brick molding with a nail gun, then apply polyurethane caulk around the edge where the brick molding meets the garage wall. Spray fire-rated expanding foam to fill the cavity between the door jamb and the wall framing. Do this from inside the house. When the foam has fully cured, trim away the excess with a utility knife so the foam is flush with the edge of the jamb.
Measure and cut interior trim to cover the gap between the edge of the jambs and the interior walls of the house. Cut the molding with a miter saw and install the trim with finishing nails.
Apply paintable, stainable wood putty to cover the screw heads in the jambs. Sand the putty flush when it is dry, then paint or stain to match the rest of the jamb.
Use specific, fire-rated expanding foam to fill the jamb cavities. The foam cures to a dark orange color.
Since the jambs are also chemically treated to be fire-retardant, replacing a splintered or broken jamb with one that is not fire-retardant violates building code.

Editor's Note: Freelance writer Joe Henderson describes the emergence of faith-based theatre at Temple Terrace UMC.
It all started nine years ago with a quick conversation in the breezeway on a February morning at Temple Terrace United Methodist Church in Tampa.
I told Pastor St. Clair D. Moore of an idea I had for a play that would be performed on Maundy Thursday of Holy Week. I would write the script, then cast and direct the play. It would be a re-creation of the Last Supper, staged in our fellowship hall. The audience would also partake of Communion while the actors were doing the same on stage.
Like many churches, we had performed Christmas and Easter plays in the past, but we always just used a published play from an outside source. We had never tried anything with our own full-length script.
Karl Knox (left), and Lee Clemens, both members of Temple Terrace UMC, rehearse lines for an original play titled, "Faith and the Manger." Locating costumes, building props and juggling rehearsal schedules are just a few of the challenges churches face with Christmas plays.
Little did I expect that we would have a turn-away crowd that night or that people would be emotionally affected to the point of tears. I especially did not expect that we would still be producing major original plays at Christmas and Easter as a gift to our congregation and community.
Our latest effort was called “Faith and the Manger.” Like all of our Christmas plays, it was an original script backed by a choir and soloists directed by Worship Pastor Patina Ripkey.
We draw large crowds, including many visitors. While we do take up an offering, admission is free.
I think we are all amazed how effective this drama ministry has become. I believe that is because everyone associated with this outreach has been faithful to God’s calling.
I am a professional writer with more than 40 years in the newspaper industry.
The same goes for all the people who have accepted parts in our plays or the singers and musicians who made it special. They all believed that drama was another way to reach those in need with a message they needed to hear.
These are not professional actors; several had never performed before. We don’t have a theater-quality stage in our sanctuary, and we scrounge for costumes and props. It is hard work to juggle rehearsal schedules and memorize lines.
Because it’s bigger than us.
The greatest reward is when someone from the audience tells one of us how they were touched by what they saw on the stage. It happens often.
Pastor Moore is still at our church and is a strong supporter of drama, but he leaves it to the volunteers to make it work. He trusts our judgment and dedication, and in return, we trust that God is in control. We trust that our work will be a blessing if we put in the effort.
It is worth the hassle.
And it began with two simple words from the pastor, words that power anything of value: Do it.

How to remove vomit stains from wool carpet.
How to Clean Hemp Rugs: Spot Cleaning: Immediately remove any spills from your rug by pressing firmly with clean, white paper or cloth towels working from the outside of …... W ool is naturally resilient, water-repellent and dirt-resistant, but dog urine can alter the fibers and the rug dyes if it is allowed to sit. If the day comes that your normally well-trained dog has an accident on your prized wool rug, rapid response is half the battle.
Remember that professional cleaning is always the best and most low-risk route to take when it comes to cleaning a silk Oriental rug -- and that this is especially true for silk rugs, which are much more delicate than traditional wool rugs. Make sure to have your rug professionally cleaned every few years to help maintain its lustrous look.
Wool is a popular choice for carpet being a natural material. It has many great benefits including being hard wearing, warmth retaining, pile retaining, sound absorbing and environmentally friendly.
26/01/2012 · Spot-cleaning a wool rug requires first vacuuming the rug to get rid of any loose debris, using a product safe for the wool, letting it soak on the spot and blotting up the stain with a sponge. | 2019-04-22T00:20:45 | http://marcher.org/british-columbia/how-to-spot-clean-a-wool-rug.php |
Horacio Pagani believes that art and engineering aren’t mutually exclusive, and his passion for both can clearly be seen in every automobile that bears his name. While the video below is long (nearly half an hour), we think it’s well worth watching, as it gives you a very intimate look at the man behind one of the world’s most exclusive supercar manufacturers.
While brands like Lamborghini and Ferrari churn out thousands of cars per year, Pagani builds less than two-dozen. In fact, at its current facility, production is limited to just 20 cars per year, which is why the manufacturer will soon occupy a larger facility. Its capacity? Around 40 cars per year.
That quantity is just about right for Horacio Pagani, who seems to have a personal relationship with each and every one of his customers (who he refers to as family). It’s clear that employees are family, too, as evidenced by the number of Pagani tattoos proudly displayed by the craftsmen who build the cars.
No expense is spared in the construction of a Pagani, and no detail is overlooked. The carbon fiber monocoques use a unique carbon fiber cloth that contains embedded strands of titanium, which adds to the tub’s overall strength and ability to dissipate energy. Sure, it’s significantly more expensive than conventional carbon fiber cloth, but that’s beside the point. It’s the best material available, so that’s what Pagani uses.
Most of us will never have the $1.4 million or so it takes to put a Pagani Huayra into your collection, but that’s beside the point. For those of us with 10w 30 in our veins, knowing that a genius like Horacio Pagani is building cars without compromise is enough. | 2019-04-26T08:32:34 | https://www.automotiveaddicts.com/28591/a-behind-the-scenes-look-at-pagani-video |

RMJM Serbia’s work on Terminal B helps secure Russia’s Sheremetyevo International Airport a 5-star Skytrax rating.
Moscow’s Sheremetyevo International Airport has recently been given an esteemed 5-star rating by Skytrax, a leading aviation review and ratings body. Skytrax assesses the quality of passenger service within an airport, taking into account the development of infrastructure, quality of personnel and overall customer experience.
The announcement comes off the back of RMJM Serbia’s work on the airport’s Terminal B, which involved a collaboration with RMJM Italia’s interior designers. Fusing 20th-century Russian Constructivism traits into a contemporary design, RMJM’s work on the terminal has helped to enhance the overall travel experience of those passing through Russia’s busiest aviation hub. The concept covers over 55,850 m² on three levels within the airport, which include a public hall, departure hall, pier, baggage claim and a retail arcade.
This prestigious recognition coincides with a time of significant expansion for the airport, with another terminal (Terminal C1) being built in the coming years, the commissioning of which is to be announced in December 2019. Sheremetyevo’s carrying capacity is also set to expand to 100 million passengers after the completion and construction of both Terminal C1 and C2, greatly enhancing the airport’s offering.
RMJM is proud to have supported Sheremetyevo International Airport and the firm looks forward to working alongside Sheremetyevo in its next stages of growth and expansion.
Read this interview with RMJM Serbia Managing Partner Goran Nikolic about the wider concept behind the airport and the ideas that helped bring it to life. | 2019-04-24T22:11:40 | https://www.rmjm.com/sheremetyevo-international-airport-receives-5-star-skytrax-rating/ |

It is also important to consider outdoor commercial trash beers for employee usage, to remain waste manageable and outside the key area of business. To select outdoor trash cans, it is important to look for the exact need. For businesses that need bins for widespread general population usage, there are a select availablility of bins specifically designed to be useful and attractive. These outdoor trash receptacles will often have a cover that will both maintain any waste inside the tray while also making the can easily accessible. Some of these pays for may have flap garage doors in the front while others may possibly simply have a lid with open sides.

Shelley Carrol (HSPVA ’82) hails from a family of gospel singers and musicians in Houston, Texas. It was there that the music bug bit him at an early age and landed him in the famed Boys Choir of Houston. After picking up the saxophone, he was able to study with the legendary Texas Tenor greats Arnett Cobb and Don Wilkerson. At the time he didn’t know how revered these gentlemen were around the globe. They simply lived in his neighborhood. Shelley attended the city’s High School for the Performing and Visual Arts and was a standout in the city’s Summer Jazz Workshop Program. This is where he developed a true flair for the stage.
While attending the University of North Texas, Shelley earned 1st tenor in the Grammy-nominated One O’Clock Lab Band. There he recorded two critically acclaimed CD’s in 1990 – 91. During the same period, Mr. Carrol was invited to join the Duke Ellington Orchestra by trumpeter Barrie Lee Hall. This would prove to be an enormous musical opportunity with worldwide exposure. Since joining the band, he has toured the U. S. and over 30 foreign countries. He has also recorded and/or performed with Sheryl Crow, Maureen McGovern, Tony Bennett, Nancy Wilson, Joe Williams, Roger Waters and a host of others. Shelley evolved to record as a leader in 1997. He was able to feature members of the Duke Ellington Orchestra on his debut CD for Leaning House Records. His second CD, A Distant Star, was released in the fall of 2001. The disc features pianist Bernard Wright, bassist Curtis Lundy, and drummer Sebastian Whittaker. This sophomore effort easily got the critics and fans buzzing with excitement. Carrol’s third release was recently recorded with his Monday night band. This group has been featured at The New Amsterdam Bar in Dallas for several years. Their CD entitled Gentle Friend is now available. His latest recording is entitled I Heard That and features some iconic guest artists like the late Marchel Ivery, Stefan Karlsson, Roger Boykin, and vocalist Ardina Lockhart. Shelley also feels a need to share his musical gift with today’s youth. He currently teaches privately in the Dallas area and gives clinics whenever he can. He even has plans to develop a Summer Jazz Workshop in Dallas. He says “…music has to be shared to truly be enjoyed.” Anyone who listens to his tenor saxophone would have to agree. | 2019-04-22T02:53:23 | https://docfestjazz.org/shelley-carrols-biography/ |
Remember that used dresser I found in a thrift store for $35. Well, it’s had a bit of money invested ($100 on knobs alone. Eek!) and time invested ( only a couple of hours) and it looks cute as a vintage button now that it’s all done. I am IN LOVE with how this turned out. It’s the perfect piece for my little girl’s room and it will have a long and happy life there.
Once I decided to paint, it really wasn’t a difficult process. I used a little palm sander to rough up the finish and to soften some of the damage that was on the drawer fronts and top. There isn’t any need to remove all the old finish but the better job you do of prepping the surface for paint, the nicer the end result will be. I also did a good once over on the structure and tapped in any popped nails. The whole piece was painted in a durable mid sheen white. It is a touch hard to see in the photos but the center of the drawers are light pink and then we picked a sweet orange for the petal motif and mirror accent.
Here you can see the pink a bit better. We chose it because my girl is a girly girl and wanted to paint the entire thing pink. By only doing it on the drawers, it will be easy to cover up in white or another color if/when she decides she’s too old for baby pink.
I went a bit overboard on replacing the knobs. I choose these crystal numbers I found at the hardware store. I think they add a touch of glam and whimsy – they make the piece. Once I saw them I had to get them….to the tune of $100. Oops. When choosing new knobs, take one of the old ones with you so you can match up holes. In my case, I needed to drill new holes so I measured and marked carefully where I needed them before drilling. I also needed to choose a knob that would cover the old holes and these ones barely worked, thank goodness.
My biggest tip when painting anything is to utilize the knowledge of the person behind the paint counter. Show them a photo of the piece you are going to paint. They will help you pick a primer suitable to the job. DO NOT SKIP PRIMER. Did you hear me? Don’t. Also tell the person at the paint desk how the piece will be used. Which room? By who? Does it need to be really durable and washable? Or will it sit in a corner and rarely be touched? They will help you pick a paint that will work for you. It’s really not that hard and you know what? It’s just paint. If you don’t like the color or need to change it a few years down the road it’s no big deal. Paint it again! *says the girl who would paint every piece in her house if she had the time* Have you painted anything recently? I’d love to hear about it!
I LOVE the way it turned out. The color combo is darling and I like that you painted the drawers pink so it will be easy to change. I love those crystal knobs too and have some similar ones in Bella’s room. Next time you are looking for knobs, check e-bay. Bella’s crystal knobs came from e-bay & cost 1/2 what I was looking at paying at Lowes! They are much nicer than the more expensive ones were too.
That’s a good tip. I’m so bad at online shopping – I need to see stuff in person!
It looks awesome Heather, but lordy those were some expensive knobs!
I know….I sort of forgot I needed two per drawer.
Great job! I need to do more refinishing. I love antiques but we got in the buy new habit. I need a few funky pieces for our new house.
my problem with new is that unless you spend mucho casho, you’re left with something that’s pressboard and falls apart. I hate throwing $$ down the drain on buying garbage and I’m too cheap to shell out a grand for a dresser for my 5 year old! A used dresser was our answer here.
Wow, what a great and helpful post! I’m terrible for picking up old furniture and putting it in the garage to refinish some day… maybe this will get me to actually do it!
What a gorgeous makeover!! And those knobs were totally worth it, in my opinion. You have such a beautiful blog; I’m glad I found you.
I agree – they were worth it. Thank you!
Love it! That turned out super cute and those knobs – gorgeous!!
It looks so fantastic. Love those knobs- definitely worth the splurge!
It looks lovely! Perfect for a little girl’s room. And those knobs…wow, they are gorgeous…worth every penny!
Amazing! Such a great transformation!
Love the colors you used! And wow you got it done fast. Those knobs are the greatest things I’ve ever seen, good choice.
I’m with ya on the primer….important. I’ve skipped it before out of sheer laziness and have paid the price. The dresser turned out beautiful.
This turned out beautifully, and I am sure your daughter is going to enjoy it for a very long time.
A great update. That was some nice doggy damage! but, you can’t even tell. I love the knobs you went with. I used similar ones on a side table I did last year (http://moorofeverything.com/where-we-were). So pretty!
You are inspiring Heather. I’m ready to hit the vintage store tomorrow. I so wish I had your eye and could see past the visual. That is a gorgeous piece. Fantastic job.
That looks great! I’m in awe of anyone who can do stuff like this. No way I’d even attempt it.
That looks great! Right now Gavin has an old dresser of Murray’s. It’s in great shape, but I wouldn’t mind freshening it up a bit. This makes me hopeful that I could do it without screwing it up too badly.
Awesome advice, I usually forget to ask for the experts help… learning to paint like a pro is on my bucket list! Looks like you’re there already! Lovely!
I think all of your points are very good. I have a question regarding an old dresser that I have. It is an old Oak Canadiana piece that someone replaced two doors on it with two pine drawers. It is no longer authentic and I would love to paint it. I doubt very much that it is worth anything and I wouldn’t be interested in selling it anyway. Do you have any thoughts regarding this type of thing?
Hi Cindy – I say, if you can give the piece new life and if you will use it and enjoy it then go ahead and paint it. If it was in perfect original condition I might say not to paint it, but since it isn’t, go for it!
Thank you Heather! I appreciate your opinion on this and I think I just might do that!
I would LOVE to see photos when you’re done!
I think you made the right decision to paint it and it looks great! I have an old dresser and chest from my grandmother that I painted aqua and distressed. It turned out great! I never plan to sell it so I wanted to paint it to fit into my décor and it is beautiful.
Please don’t ever paint any Broyhill Brasilia furniture! I got a Broyhill Brasilia china cabinet at Goodwill for $25. Thank goodness I checked into what I bought before I got that first coat on! It’s worth somewhere around $600. So just make sure what you have first before you go and paint it. Most MCM groups are a lot of help! | 2019-04-19T02:36:41 | https://hometoheather.com/2013/04/repaint-vintage-dresser/ |

Ask fellow campers about "Tips State Recreation Area" and nearby attractions.
We've stayed in this park overnight several times. It's very close to the big Valero refinery and the highway, so not a quiet place. Most of the sites are occupied by long term oil field workers. Definitely call in advance. 361-786-4324 is the host couple phone. (361) 786-2528 is the phone number of the City of Three Rivers, and if the host phone doesn't answer, they may be able to supply an updated number. Pleasant place, nice trees, river, birdwatching park across the street accessible via underpass is good for walking. The park was full, so we asked and were allowed to dry camp for free, but this is at the discretion of the hosts. We camped at Tips State Recreation Area in a Fifth Wheel.
We actually did not get to stay here but we tried. It was booked solid. They are in the process of adding 7 new sites. The park is the best option in Three Rivers. Big shade trees and a boat ramp. The campground is very snug though, and though big rigs can get in, it may be tight. The host was very nice and pointed us in the direction to find a park to stay in. Town is full due to a mixture of oil/ gas workers and fisherman. We camped at Tips State Recreation Area in a Fifth Wheel.
We camped here on Memorial Day weekend. It was not crowded. Very clean, shady park. Had water and electric and was only $12.00 a night. Fishing nearby on the river. We camped at Tips State Recreation Area in a Motorhome.
