Easter Day once again. Joy and exhaustion - that's the feeling of Easter morning. It has been a consuming and powerful week, and a very busy one, what with about 50 guests in the house.
What I usually talk about on Easter morning is what hit me this year as we went through the days of Holy Week. This year, the thing from Maundy Thursday that stays with me is an impression of the Eucharist around the dinner table, and how different it feels. It has an immediacy and communality that is more apparent to me than it is in the way we normally celebrate the Eucharist in our Church. I was so aware that this was something that we were doing more than it was something that I was doing. The informality of it helps me to see things in a different way.
Then early in the morning - about 3 a.m. - after I was finished with my time at the Watch - I went outside to see the Paschal Moon as I always do. There it was, a gibbous moon this year, well past being full, riding low in the Southern sky. And it was deeply silent; so quiet that I couldn't ever remember having heard it so still. No wind, no traffic, no voices, no sound of waves on the water. It was as though the whole of the earth was holding its breath, anticipating. I could hear a single car across the river in Poughkeepsie, driving up some street, and then there was the sound of a siren as the police chased someone (the same car?). And then it was still again. All of creation seemed to be in suspension, waiting.
Good Friday. As I've said in my Easter posts before, I am always greatly moved by seeing people come forward for the Veneration of the Cross. All of those folks, some of whom I have known for many years and some of whom I was seeing for the first time. They come forward and approach the Cross that two of the brothers are holding. Some kneel, and some stand. Many kiss the cross, and some reach out and touch it, some press their heads to it, some just look. I never fail to feel very close to so many of them as they stand or kneel there in that very personal, very revealing way.
And this year, something additional happened. As the Blessed Sacrament was brought in from the Altar of Repose, and as the people got down on their knees, I could feel the power of faith. And it wasn't just the faith of a bunch of individuals. It was the faith of the congregation, of the group. The faith that reaches out, that longs for God, was so apparent to me that it was almost physical and I know that I took a step backwards because I was so "taken aback". It was another moment in which God's presence and our intimacy met. And it was the surprise gift of Holy Week this year.
The Easter Vigil was the crown of it all, of course. I could enumerate the parts of the service, but many of you will know them well enough. For me the deep joy was the evidence that the diversity for which we have worked so hard it taking another step forward. We were 70 or 80 people. We were beginning to be a sample of all the people of this area. We were old and young - from one who was about 8, I would guess, to one who is well into her 90's and who stood through everything and sang everything. We were men and women - and about equal numbers of each! We were straight and gay. We were black and white. We were (mostly) Americans, but we were also West Indians and Hispanics of several different countries, and Asians, and a Belgian and 2 Hungarians and a lady from Nigeria who had the most extraordinarily beautiful dresses. We were people who have known each other for years, and people who were total strangers.
And we were filled with joy as we shouted: "He is risen indeed, alleluia!" and rang our bells.
At breakfast afterwards, one of the college students who was here said to me that someone had said to her that people find it hard to leave their own Churches and come here for Easter, but that after they do they never want to be anywhere else, and that now she understood why. And one man, an Associate of ours, brought his sister because he knew she would see and respond, and she said to me, "Now I understand." What a wonderful promise for the future.
We really celebrated. And we haven't even had Easter Dinner yet! Or the Cantata that Kairos, our Artists in Residence, will sing this afternoon.
But first, a nap.

I've heard that before you suspect ANYTHING serious with the cruise you should clean & lube the throttle linkange. I already wanted to do that BEFORE this trip, so that's next on the agenda. Somehow I think it's something stupid and simple, like a bad contact or a loose switch, or the linkage being too stiff and therefor the actuator shutting out. Why? Because 90% of the time the thing works like a charm. It holds speed. All it does occassionally is disengage, usually abruptly during accelaration. Then, if you hit resume, it tries to find the correct speed, i.e. it will engage, and if it does not disengage again, the car will accelarate to the correct speed and hold, until I stop it or it disengages again. It could even be something dumb like a loose brake pedal switch or something like that.
I'm just happy as can be that I was able to trust this thing for a long road trip. Oh yeah - it turned 100k miles on the trip, and we took pictures of the odometer at 99999 and 100000! First time I've ever witnessed this!

New Scientist reports that Bigelow Aerospace plans a $760M contract for 8 crew launches that meet specific criteria. They need crew launch capability to support the inflatable space stations they plan. Bigelow already offers an incentive for development of crew launch: $50M for America's Space Prize. However, it doesn't look like anyone is about to win that prize, which has some very high hurdles - no government funding (use of government test and launch sites is allowed), significant reusability, significant crew size, and so on - and needs to be won in January 10, 2010.
What isn't clear (at least to me) is what will happen with America's Space Prize when this contract is issued. Will America's Space Prize be extended, or modified in some way, but still be present as an additional incentive (to the contract winner or other competitors)? Will the $760M contract have similar rules to the prize, or will launchers like SpaceX's Falcon 9 or EELVs, which get government funding, be allowed? Will government funding be allowed, as long as there is no government ownership of the company? Will it be a U.S. contract (America's Space Prize requires that the contestant live and work in the U.S.)? Will reusability be a requirement? It would be interesting to see the prize continue (perhaps in modified form), since even if the $760M contract works, Bigelow should want a backup!
There's more on this in posts and comments at Transterrestrial Musings, Personal Spaceflight, and RLV News.

OAKLAND -- California officials and market participants hailed the overall strength of lease financings during a state hearing here Thursday, but lingering concerns may prompt new legislation and guidelines.
The California Debt Advisory Commission held the four-hour hearing to examine the growing reliance on lease-backed certificates of participation. In 1991, local and state agencies sold $5.1 billion of COPs, a 70% increase over the previous year.
"COPs have become big business in California," state Treasurer Kathleen Brown told an estimated 100 participants at the hearing. She said new legislation hindering COP issuance "would be quite damaging" to government finances, but added that some lease financing issues need to be addressed.
Concerned started building over California lease financings last year, partly because of a highly publicized default by the Richmond Unified School District on $9.8 million of certificates sold to pay operating costs at the fiscally troubled district. Political attention grew after local grand juries in Santa Barbara and Nevada counties released reports examining problems in certificate issuance.
Ms. Brown said the state should attempt to prevent "future Richmonds," either through legislation or guidelines developed by the debt commission for local governments. These guidelines would help local officials distinguish between "good COPs and bad COPs," she said.
The hearing produced no final consensus. Steve Juarez, executive director of the commission, said the advisory group would meet June 29 to discuss possible guidelines and any new legislation.
Issues discussed at the hearing that may be examined include public accountability; thresholds for COP issuance; ability of issuers to pay debt service; cost effectiveness of COP issuance; and clarification of budget covenants in lease financings.
Several market participants testified against any new state legislation which would affect COPs.
Richard I. Hiscocks, a partner of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe in San Francisco, said new legislation is "not needed," adding that "the leasing law in California is great and has been great for 50 years."
Lawyer Stan Wolcott, president of the California Association of Bond Lawyers, said his organization opposes more legislation.
"It's extremely unwise, given the depressed state of the economy, to do anything which make COPs harder to issue," he said.
Several speakers, including school officials, said the Richmond default was an isolated situation. They stressed that virtually no other schools have issued certificates to pay operating costs, such as phone bills.
The state has said the certificates issued by Richmond are invalid due to lack of voter approval. The state initiated litigation questioning whether it must pay certain district costs after it took over the district.
Nearly all 18 speakers stressed the safety and strength of California's leasing market, but several also pointed to possible corrections and problems.
Henry Gardner, city manager of Oakland, which pays 5% of its general fund toward debt service on certificates, said he would favor thresholds on amounts of COP debt if they were developed on a "rational basis."
A spokesman for a grand jury in Nevada County raised the question of public accountability in lease financing when he spoke of a local nonprofit that issues certificates for the county. The local grand jury investigated the situation because members of the nonprofit Nevada County Building Co. are not appointed by elected representatives. They are self-appointed civic leaders, Arthur Katz, grand jury spokesman, told the debt commission.
He called the nonprofit a "shell, a dummy group," and said the practice of lease financing in Nevada County "bypasses the public."
"We question some of the things regarding COPs we have seen happen in our county," said Mr. Katz. "Voters may be well-served by state intervention. We would support an enforceable body of rules and guidelines from the state."
But Kent Taylor, a county administrator for Santa Barbara County -- where a grand jury concluded that COPs should be banned for capital improvements and subject to voter approval -- questioned whether local citizens should be involved in micro-management of such business affairs.
"COPs aren't the most exciting thing to the public," he said. "Is this the type of grand policy decisions the voters should vote on, and are the voters informed enough to make smart business decisions?"
Mr. Taylor said increased public involvement, especially imposition of any voting approval requirements for certificates, would "slow down" their issuance.

Just to shed some light on your idea. As for opening a shelter that you and some of your buddies will run, is this the same group of friends that mangled the corn and smoked the blood?
A week ago, you were all hopping to round up and slaughter thousands of rattle snakes, you have an out of control baby iggy, and you have absolutely no time on your hands. But suddenly, you have all the time and resourses to open a rescue shelter? Never going to happen.
To begin with, you need a business license, access and training for dispensing meds, loads of money to build this said shelter, and yes, you will have to find more time to find people to give the shelter donations. Shelters are run soley 99.9% of the time on public donations. Do you have any of this all planned out?
I think you should hang onto your idea, and get some education and experience in herpetology first before you try and open a shelter that is destined for failure. There are many shelters in your area, so why don't you spend the next two years or so volunteering at one of those first, and if you still feel that your shelter idea is still an interest of yours then, well go for it.

We present a scalable approach to optical time division multiplexing using an all-optical transmultiplexer incorporating a time lens. With simply a single nonlinear device we numerically demonstrate direct conversion from time-division multiplexing (TDM) to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) with an industry standard 100-GHz channel spacing. Data rates at 1.28 Tb/s are realized in simulation. Additionally, various pump shapes are investigated to minimize distortions and reverse operation of the device (WDM to TDM conversion) is shown.

Yesterdays Wolverhampton exercise, although inconclusive proved extremely enlightening. Having two 2yo races at the start of the card did little in assisting us in an early prediction of the going for the remainder of the card. This was further exasperated in the second race by the horse likely to win, Pendo, swerving and dumping jockey Martin Harley on the sand. The time returned for the race was in all essence that recorded by the horse likely to finish second prior to Martin Harley's untimely exit.
As you will see in the charts that follow, posted on the subscriber blog prior to yesterdays meeting, I was fully expecting the going to be between the margins off 0.50 - 1.00 on the slow side. In retrospect, I feel that the course was more between 1.00-2.00!
With only two races of the six having sufficient data for analysis, the first of which was the third race, my indecision on the state of the course found me flip-flopping between Triple Dream and Dangerous Age (see chart below)
Based upon my predicted going Triple Dream looked the most favourable candidate. The dilemma being that the times returned in the first two races suggested that it was slower than anticipated which pointed more towards Dangerous Age with Howyadoingnotsobad declared a non-runner. With Triple Dream at 33-1 and Dangerous Age at around 6-1 before a late plunge down to 11-4, I opted for the value of 33-1, but only for a small stake.
Seeing them finish 1st and 2nd with Rylee Mooch finishing 3rd at 16-1 certainly left me feeling that the exercise was not a waste of time and had potential to be very lucrative.
The only other race with sufficient depth of data to analyse was the Wolverhampton 8:10. Which also offered itself as an ideal opportunity to clear up some confusion over my use of the word trend-line in yesterdays post!
As this was the last race I was feeling fairly comfortable by now that the going was indeed slower than anticipated but had a lack of data for that end of the scale (1.00 - 2.00) so decided to take measurement by putting in a linear trend line in my spreadsheet. Here is the resulting data:
To make the chart less of a jumble I have taken out the horses that drop off the chart, plus Lyric Street and Ultimate (not raced on the surface) it was clear that Azrag had a distinct advantage on anything slower than standard. And so it was at 8-1
The object of this exercise was purely to get around the going inconsistency at Wolverhampton and I was surprised by my indecision on the actual going allowance to allocate once racing started and I had the first returns. Whether there is scope to use this outside of Wolverhampton will be interesting and perhaps this evenings meeting at Kempton Park will enlighten me more.
Good Luck today with your selections today :)

What Your Group Wants -- Plan for New Constitution
- End of slave trade
- Banning of slavery in all new states
- Progressive abolition of slavery, for our economy's sake
Bullet Points of Your Plan
- Enforce that slavery is morally wrong and God will punish
- We know what it is like to be treated as inferiors so why treat slaves the same way?
- Thomas Jefferson said "All men are created equal"
- Indentured servants rebelled in Bacon's Rebellion; how do we know slaves won't do the same?
Orator: Text of Your SpeechGentlemen, let us not forget what the principles of this country we're founded upon. As Thomas Jefferson so eloquently described in the great Declaration of Independence: "all men are created equal." So tell me, why is it that fifteen years later, we still have slaves within the borders of this fine country? If we say that all men are created equal, then why do we have men on their knees fearing the lashes of their owners? This is what I have come to present to you. As a member of the Crispus Attucks Coalition, I come to you with the intent of a plan for eventually ridding country of slavery. Black men are men indeed, and it is time that we start treating them so. How can men, fully equipped with a heart and a soul, be sold and exploited like cattle? The slaves are men with just as much potential as you and I. The potential of these slaves has already been proven by the runaway slave Crispus Attucks. In the early founding stages of our nation, this hero was peacefully protesting and was gunned down by the bloody lobster backs. This man was a negro; yes, a negro. He showed us that either black or white, we are all the same. This American hero died for our country, and in his name, slavery must end. To have the first hero of the revolution's race be enslaved by the country that he died to create, would be a monstrosity of a dishonor to his memory. This country: started by black men, built by black men, and maintained by black men, needs to, for once, consider black men. From the start of our nation, they have played a key role in its creation and deserve their freedom.
We, of the Crispus Attucks Coalition, understand the need for their labor in this country, so we do not wish for the immediate abolition of slavery; but a gentle weaning from it. A rapid stop of slave labor would be a huge detriment to our nation's economy, so we have devised plans in order to slowly move away from it. First of all, the slave trade must immediately be halted. Abducting Africans in order to strip them of their natural rights and sell them as property is a horrendous act and needs to be stopped immediately. Next, in all newly founded states, slavery is to be prohibited. Never in the northwest shall slavery exist. And finally, slavery must be eventually abolished in all regions of the realm. We cannot expect the southern plantation owner just to instantly change their way of life, but to ease off of it is possible and necessary. The black population needs to be seen as whole men, not somewhere between property and partial man, which brings me to the point of the three-fifths rule. You sir, if you were to lose a testicle, would you consider yourself half of a man? Of course not! Such an outrage would be preposterous! Calling men anything less than men is an abomination and should not exist. Black men are complete and utter men, exactly the same as white men, and should be treated so.
Gentlemen, I am not asking for you to put the blacks on a pedestal, but to hoist them up to ground level so they can stand with us rather than kneel. Slaves are still men and it's time that we start treating them like it. If we continue the atrocity that is slavery, we are failing our fellow patriot Crispus Attucks and he shall die in vain. Let's not forget the American hero who gave his life to create a free country for you and I. Come on bros, help the Negroes!
Why Our Plan is Good:
- It will create freedom for all American peoples and eliminate hypocrisy
- More will get done because black workers will be more happy and healthy
- It will increase the number of jobs and thereby benefit our economy
- God will look better upon us
Print Journalist: Write Up of Convention Activity- Philadelphia 1787
Tensions flared today at the Continental Congress as delegates from various states gathered in Philadelphia to revise the Articles of Confederation and to better our country. Five plans were presented during this Continental Congress including the Virginia Plan, the New Jersey Plan, the Great Compromise, the Dixiecrat Bloc, and last but definitely not least, the Crispus Attucks Coalition.
Out of the "well fed, well bred, and well wed" delegates, James Madison of the Virginia Plan was first to launch his ideas to improve our country. Madison stated the importance of the larger states having more political power as a result of their superior size. Instead of acting separately, the states should "act as one" and "unify." Not only did Madison believe those from New Jersey did not appreciate them; they believed them to be stripping Virginia of their rights. William Patterson of the New Jersey Plan then stepped up to present his plan. Patterson suggested that we stand together; united. "Small states have small plans," exclaimed Patterson. However, unlike the Virginia Plan, the New Jersey Plan didn't plan to include equality for everyone. The New Jersey Plan presented their ideas to be fair when in reality, they weren't. Giving the smaller states the same votes as the large would give the smaller states an advantage by having essentially more power.
A spokesperson for the Great Compromise, then came up to voice his opinion and to have the Virginia and the New Jersey Plan finally become concord. He claims that the Virginia Plan is insufficient and asks, "Are we going to let our citizens down who want nothing but to be equal and thrive?" Wasn't it the Virginia Plan that wanted equality for all?
The argument between the delegates of the Crispus Attucks Coalition and the Dixiecrat Bloc was a humiliating blow for the less favored group. The representatives of the Crispus Attucks Coalition never ceased to present glorious ideas on equality while the Dixiecrat Bloc explained their "need" for slavery as they "couldn't function without them." These pathetic delegates were ignorant enough to believe that "black slaves don't have the same mental capacity as white men," then when proved otherwise tried to cover up their statement by saying "black men aren't stupid." If black slaves aren't stupid, why would they have a smaller mental capacity than ignorant white men like you? The crowd continued to boo at the Dixiecrat's while they dissed the Crispus Attucks coalition. "Creating equality for slaves? We might as well call our country New Africa!" When representatives of Crispus Attucks argued the horrible treatment of the slaves by their plantation owners, the Dixiecrat representatives denied it. They asserted that plantation owners treat their slaves like sons and denied the fact that these owners also rape their slaves. If they treat their slaves like their sons, why would they have horrible scars from beatings and whippings? If these horrid slave owners don't rape their slaves, why do mulatto(half black/half white) babies exist?
In all, the Dixiecrat Bloc left a humiliating impression at the Continental Congress. The Crispus Attucks Coalition made strong points that were vital in creating an equal nation. "As Thomas Jefferson so eloquently described in the great Declaration of Independence: 'all men are created equal.' So tell me, why is it that fifteen years later, we still have slaves within the borders of this fine country?" This eye-opening question by a Crispus Attucks representative led to immense cheering from those at the a Continental Congress and a shameful impact on those from the Dixiecrat Blocs. To be frank, the Crispus Attucks Coalition is the right plan to follow for the success of our country.

text: Howdy everyone. My buddy got drawn for the Ravenna hunt on the 22nd of this month. I've never been there before and neither has he. Anybody have any advice for us Ravenna newbies? (Besides memorizing the three page list of rules and procedures). We're both fairly experienced deer hunters, so I'm just trying to understand what to expect that is different about Ravenna. From last year's posts, it sounds as if there are a LOT of deer in there, and that you'll see them running around a LOT. Should I get rid of the scope I normally use in Southern Ohio and go with the rifled sights, for example? Can I bring a swivel-topped stool to sit on or do I have to sit on the ground (the rules say no ground blinds). Any and all input is appreciated.

Free glass repair – do you qualify?/in Emergency Glass, Glass, Tips /by GlassNow
Let's see how this might work for you.
Body Corporate businesses work on behalf of building owners and are traditionally bought and sold like any other business. Body Corporate Managers (BCM) are then engaged in a partnership with the owners and a Strata Management firm who provide administrative and secretarial services. The BCM provides a service, they should help with the day to day management of the physical property and its residents.
The BCM may even live in the building alongside the residents. On the Gold Coast and in Brisbane this is common practice and the BCM can even act as the leasing agent for the building. As a resident within a Body Corporate Structure, you will deal with the body corporate manager or a real estate agent, sometimes both.
Physical property is usually defined as the common areas such as halls, pools, gardens and typically all the exterior of the building, such as the roof, windows and doors. If you are an owner, renting or even on a short stay in a holiday unit you are responsible for the damage inside the unit. Break a mirror in the bathroom, you are going to have to pay for it.
The BCM acting on behalf of the owners is usually responsible for doing or organising the repair and maintenance of common property at the building. So here we go – do you qualify for free glass repair on the Gold Coast and Brisbane Australia. Well, Do YOU!!
First – you need to be a tenant in a building that has a body corporate structure?
Second – the glass repair (typically a glass door or a window) must be on the external wall or outside of the dwelling?
If you answer "YES" to both of the questions you should qualify and your body corporate should be picking up the bill, not you =
Happy Days and FREE GLASS REPAIR
Glass Now provides glass and aluminium repairs 24-hour, 7 days a week. Our Mobile glazing service provides maintenance and repair of all window and door frames within all Tweed, Gold Coast, Logan, Moreton Bay, Redlands Bay and Brisbane Suburbs
Why are bathroom windows more expensive to repair?/in Tips /by GlassNow
This is because bathroom windows are a combination of toughened and obscured Glass.
The benefits of obscure glass is that it allows light to enter the room and also preserves the privacy of the people within the room. Most of the obscure glass we sell at GlassNow is used within bathrooms, toilets or near entry doors. Obscured glass is sometimes referred to as frosted glass and there is a large range of styles available, common types include Arctic, Cathedral, Satinlite and Spotswood. In some situations our customers need us to match a broken window to the existing style of glass used within the building.
In most situations when installing toughened glass we need to make two trips to your location. This is because toughened glass is not able to be cut and will explode into small peddles or relatively harmless fragments.
The first trip is to measure the exact size and the second trip is to supply and install. Usually this whole process takes approximately 5 working days, as the glass has to be sent back to the factory to undergo additional heat treatment. The good news is that toughened glass is approximately 4 to 5 times stronger than float glass of equal thickness, making it safer choice.
Bathrooms are considered to be an area of the building that has a higher risk of accidents occurring. The most obvious reason being that these areas get wet and hence the increased possibility of a slip or a fall. Being a bathroom there is also a good possibility that you will be naked and let's face it slipping on wet tiles is bad enough. Luckily the possibility of cutting yourself at the same time is greatly reduced due to Australian standard AS1288-2006 specifying the use of toughen glass within bathrooms and toilets.

Pet Door – Does your best friend have their own door?/in Design, Glass, Home Improvement, remodeling, Tips /by GlassNow
Does your best friend have their own door?
Are you are considering installing a new pet door for your beloved dog or cat? You're pet may not always be your best friend, let's face it when there has been an accident inside sometimes it can be messy and the smell can be even worse – oh BOY!! This is just the reason why your Pets deserve their own special entrance. You should consider some of the following points prior to ordering and installing a new pet door.
• Crawling or small children may access a pet door directly onto the street or a pool area.
• Dogs and cats should not be free to roam the neighbourhood.
• Buying the right sizing dog or cat door for your Pet or Pets.
• Use the sliding locks that come with the door kit to keep other animals out when you are away or asleep. Make sure your pet is safely inside before closing.
• Training your pet to use their new pet door may be a challenge. Some people like to leave the flap off for a day or two. It also helps to call your pet and offer treats or food through the hole from outside. When your pet goes through the pet door you should praise them loudly by saying; you are such a good doggy – while wiggling your own bum and synchronising your head shakes – good job! Be patient, some animals take longer than others. But when your pet does learn, they'll love their newfound freedom and you will be relieved that they can take themselves outside todo their own business.
Question: Can I let the Cat out but also keep other cats out of the house?
Answer: Yes – Most Cat doors and specifically the Transact cat pet door does allow for an electronic upgrade to allow only your cat to have exclusive access to the door via an electronic collar. This means that the door is locked until the cat comes within approximately 1m of the pet door and this should help to keep other cats out.
Question: Can I use an electronic collar for my Dog Door?
Answer: No – Most pet dog door brands do not allow for the Electronic Upgrade. The theory being that dogs should already be housed within a secure yard or fenced environment, making it is less likely that a random dogs will enter your house. Dogs are also more likely to injure themselves or damage the door if the electronic unit fails to open.
As a pet owner you face many considerations and responsibilities. Likewise GlassNow takes the installation of cat and dog pet doors seriously. As such we can help you as a pet owner in two ways;
Scenario 1; (Labour only) – Installation of pet door into Glass. GlassNow can install any brand of Pet door quickly and easily into any type of Glass. Sorry we do not install into timber doors.
Scenario 2; Supply and Installation of a Transcat pet door into Glass. We recommend Transact – Dog and Cat door from www.transcat.co.nz

GlassNow specialise in installing any brand of pet door into any type of Glass, so if you live between Byron Bay and Noosa please give us a call today.
GlassNow – Pet Door Installation Process
Step 1, QUOTE. Simply supply us with a rough size of the glass panel either via our quote form on our website or by phone and we can give you an accurate quote immediately.
One of our friendly tradesmen comes to your home to measure your panel of glass where you would like you pet door installed to.
Step 2; TOUGHENING – We order a new piece of glass that is exactly the same size as the glass panel that you identify for the new pet door in Step 1, this new piece of glass gets a hole cut into the glass and then it gets sent back to the factory to become toughened glass.
We then order a new piece of the toughened glass with a hole in it for the pet door.
Step 3; FITTING – After receiving the new piece of toughened glass, we check all the dimensions are correct and contact you with an installation date
One of out friendly trade's people returns to install the glass and the pet door.

Why You Need Proper Pool Fencing and Balustrading/in Glass, Tips /by GlassNow
It cannot be overstated the importance of having the proper fencing around your pool. There are a number of reasons why, but the most important is preventing children from falling into the pool and drowning. Even if you don't have children, it has been known that kids in the neighbourhood might not resist knowing a pool is in your backyard. So, having the proper fencing is very important to prevent accidents from happening.
The same is true for pools at public places, commercial buildings, apartments, hotels and other places as well. While it may not prevent all tragic accidents from occurring, having a fence around your pool will act as a deterrent and may prevent the needless death of a child from occurring.
Proper Fencing Installation
In Australia, there are laws designed to ensure that the proper fencing and balusters are in place to create the safest conditions possible for your pool area. Any materials that you use in the creation of your fence or baluster must comply with Australian law. This means that you will need to have the area inspected to ensure that any access to the pool area can only come through a locked gate or passageway through the fencing itself.
Today, there are a wide range of fencing and balustrades that can be used to protect the pool area from the classic iron versions to modern, sleek styles that offer maximum protection, but also fully protect the pool area itself. In addition, pool railings, balconies and stairwells can enjoy this type of protection also when it comes to your pool. From aluminium to steel to wood and more, there are a number of unique designs that can be crafted to make your pool area safe.
Safety in the Design
You may have heard of instances where the fencing itself becomes an issue because kids can stick their arms, legs or even head through the fence and become trapped. In addition, kids may try to climb the fence and get stuck as well. While there is no type of fencing that can prevent all intrusions from occurring, there are still plenty of types that can prevent accidents from occurring while preventing most types of unwanted entries.
- One Meter High Railings: This is to prevent small children from climbing over the top.
- 12cm Spacing in Vertical Components: This is to prevent a child's head from becoming stuck in-between the fencing.
- 100mm Maximum Spacing from Bottom Rail to Flooring: This is to prevent a child from going under the fencing.
By incorporating these elements into the fencing that is used around your pool, you can help prevent a terrible accident from occurring. You will also need to take into account any areas surrounding the pool such as trees or higher fencing that may allow a child to climb up and jump over the fence around the pool.
By taking everything into account when you put up your fencing and balustrades, you can have the most effective protection against the most unfortunate incidents from happening in your pool.
Create an Eco Garden/in DIY, Tips /by GlassNow
You can contribute to the environmental effort by creating an eco-garden that will provide you with much-needed fruits and vegetables that will nourish your body and save you money as well.
The first step is to set aside enough space to set up your garden. You will need to decide if the garden is going inside or outside your home. An indoor garden however will require extra attention and may need special equipment if you plan on going with hydroponics. An outdoor garden needs space, soil and compost for nutrients. While an outdoor garden is a bit messier and requires good weather, it does not take up any space inside your home.
Compost Heap
Compost is food waste and other organic materials that will provide the nutrients for your plants. Compost materials may consist of shredded paper, dead leaves, leftovers from meals, lawn clippings and so forth. A compost bin or can will allow the materials to decompose while generating its own heat as well. You can even add bone or blood meal to the compost to help boost the nutrient levels in the soil as well.
Drip Lines & Rain Barrels
You will use less water with drip lines and they will go right to the roots of plants as well. In addition, you can set up rain barrels to capture the water necessary for your garden as this will reduce even further your utility bills in taking care of your garden.
Use Plants Native to the Area
Basically, plants that are native to your region are the best for your garden as they are used to the environment. Such plants can go with less fertilizer, water and effort in making them grow.
Use Natural Protection
To help prevent plant disease, use natural products such as milk, potassium bicarbonate, cooking oil and even baking soda as they will help keep plants healthy while preventing certain diseases from forming. Plus, to keep out the pests you can go with ladybugs and other predator insects that prey on the bugs which otherwise would feast in your garden.
Use Hand Tools
The old fashioned gardening tools are often the best in weeding your garden. However, you can use electric versions of some tools such as weed eaters, leaf blowers and tillers for additional work.
Weed Judiciously
You need not be a neat freak, but for every weed that gets into your garden that is one more plant that is taking away water and nutrients that otherwise would go to your plants. You might use composting materials or simply select a day or two each week to inspect your garden and root out the weeds before they can take hold.
Plant Trees
Trees near your garden create shade and protection for many of the creatures that live in your neighbourhood. Plus, they provide a healthy atmosphere as well thanks to their oxygen-generating capabilities.
An eco-friendly garden is one that will provide you with the food for the table while making good use out of your land as well.

Really simple to use and a big help in onboarding new users
Likely Extremely
Pros: I have enjoyed the experience with Appcues from the start. First, their Academy is very insightful and gave me many ideas to use in our own Onboarding flow. Second, I really liked that I was able to create our own flows into our system during the free trial which meant that I was able to see how it would work for our customers. Third, the ability to customise the tutorial to visually match our brand identity was very important to me. In general, the experience for me as has been basically frictionless.
Cons: It's missing a way to easily analyse your data and to see where your users drop off (only available through third-party integration). It can be done via a csv export but is not as user-friendly as the whole other experience with the system.
Overall: It has greatly improved our user onboarding and has been of big help in reducing the workload of our support staff.
Appcues has revolutionized the way that we do onboarding. We have seen a ton of success using it!
Likely Extremely
Pros: Appcues is amazingly well designed for any user. It's intuitive and simple to set up. It's data and record keeping make it a breeze to maintain and manage. Their customer success team is very friendly and truly desires to see your business succeed. By using Appcues, we've almost completely eliminated new user support inquiries. It provides us a way to proactively communicate how to use our software and where to begin.
Cons: Software updates are sometimes poorly communicated. But they're quick to educate and catch you up to speed when you're in need!
Overall: Support tickets from first-time users have been almost eliminated as a result of using Appcues. This saves our company time and energy. We're able to educate users quickly and efficiently without annoying them with obnoxious additional registrations or blank fields to populate.
My experience with Appcues has been extremely positive, both in regards to the product and support.
Pros: Appcues makes it extremely easy to engage with customers. The variety of message types they offer, along with capabilities like personalized content and message flows (where you string together multiple messages to create a guided tour of your product) make it the best way I've found to welcome new users, announce new products, and encourage adoption of existing features.
Beyond the product itself, I've been very impressed with the customer experience. Support is quick to respond and the product folks I've spoken with are very receptive to feedback. They also are constantly releasing updates and new features.
Cons: Honestly I have to get fairly nit picky here as the overall product is very strong. Reporting could be stronger, but I've seen improvements over the past few months and I would expect that to continue. I'd also like to see improvements to their integration with other vendors. Right now they have strong capabilities at exporting data from Appcues to other platforms, but like another reviewer mentioned, if I could configure an integration to upload event data that's been tagged using other platforms (so that I don't have to double-tag things), then it would take Appcues to the next level.
10/10 for feature enhancements. These guys are always adding new stuff to make my messaging great.
Likely Extremely
Pros: Feature Updates - updates that add depth but keep ease of use are great. Everytime I log in I feel like I can do more, but the design/setup is very intuitive.
Ease of Use (non-technical) - Super easy for my busy dev team to do the one time set up and I have been able to do the complete customization from there.
Support is great - Help resources and the people that answer questions/reach out are really helpful
I looked into a log of "app walk through" options at first, but this was definitely the best value and I am so pleasantly surprised how much the Appcues resources have helped me come up with new ideas to engage clients.
Cons: Cannot really think of any cons. Appcues lets you have custom events and fields, but its not the one click integration yet. The day I can just put in my Hubspot code and be able to automatically choose which fields/events I want to see will be amazing.
Easy to use, easy to implement, great UI and getting better
Pros: Appcues is cost effective, ease of use and they are continually making improvements to the platform.
Cons: Appcues can be a tiny bit buggy at times but it's improving week by week. I find making changes to style templates to a group of flows can time consuming- it has to be done one flow at a time.
Flexible In-app Experience Tool
Comments: Once implemented via segment, I can handle the entire process of creating, publishing, and reporting on different in-app experiences from onboarding tutorials, upsell campaigns, or as a channel for user feedback.

Increasing its reach and strengthening its voice in the fast-casual marketplace, Tropical Smoothie Café launched its first system-wide television advertising campaign. The new commercial, which will air locally in all of the brand's markets, showcases the breadth of fresh food and smoothies at Tropical Smoothie Café. The spot also highlights Mojo Tacos, the brand's latest innovative menu addition.
The new 30-second TV spot promotes the brand's tropical ingredients and bold, unique flavors. Customers are invited to Tropical Smoothie Café's "table" to try its new Mojo Tacos, featuring a choice of fish, chicken, or steak, topped with handmade Cucumber Salsa and a new signature Mojo Sauce. The creative agency behind the new ad spot is Stroh Creative. The four-week flight, projecting 15 million impressions, will run on Bravo, FX, VH1, ABC Family, TLC, and TBS. Additionally, a 15-second TV wrap-around spot will support Food Network's show "Chopped."
"Since 1997, Tropical Smoothie Café has established itself as the destination for flavor, and we've built that reputation without any national brand advertising," says Lisa Wenda, CMO of Tropical Smoothie Café. "Our goal with this campaign is to reach the consumers who enjoy better-for-you food and smoothies but haven't tried Tropical Smoothie Café yet. We know once they taste our authentic and fresh flavors, they are going to be hard-pressed to find a reason not to come back."
In conjunction with the new ad, Tropical Smoothie Café is launching a Slice of Paradise Sweepstakes where one lucky grand prize winner will receive a spa day for two, dinner, transportation, and a $100 Tropical Smoothie Café gift card. Six runners-up will receive a $25 Tropical Smoothie Café gift card.

2018 California Offshore Sailing Week: A Preview
Published on 05-17-2018 11:03 AM
It's just over week away, the 3rd running of the California Offshore Race Week, with the start of the
1st leg, the Spinnaker Cup, an 88 nm sprint from San Francisco to Monterey departing May 26. Then boats
will embark on Monday May 28th for the 204nm gear busting Big Sur Tour aka Coastal Cup that takes the fleet
to Santa Barbara YC where they will relax for a short stay before gearing up for 245nm SoCal 300 which will lead them
through the Channel Islands and down to San Diego, beginning on Thursday May 31.
Being that the CORW is comprised of 3 offshore legs with an evening beer can tossed in at SBYC, the majority of the entrants will
participate in just one or two of the legs. See entry list
But there are
10 boats this year that have signed up for all 3 legs:

Lavender buds, bees, zukes and cukes
Well the lavender is in and we have vigilantly watched to see how it is thriving , or not. We scout for weeds growing that would choke the life out of our new recruits and stray buds that we pinch so the plant will put all of its energy into growth development. The bees are happy in their new home and Shari and I almost have all our plants and seeds into our new 30 x 60 ft garden. I finished designing and building the gate and arbor for the garden. Tomorrow we will finish planting some beans and that will be it for the garden till weeding, watering, more weeding, bug prevention and all the myriad of maintenance chores begin which will be I think starting on Tuesday this week! We planted rows of sunflowers by the road. For one reason who can resist a field of sunflowers and second, we don't have any lavender to show so at least this will make a statement. As soon as the school year winds to a close I will begin painting the house which will be quite a job but will yield quite a transformation too.

Up (Disney-Pixar)

For music...
I highly recommend the Irish Tenors, as well as Charlotte Church's earlier work if you like classical crossover (which I do. :D) I'm not sure what your music tastes are though, so I'm not sure if I can offer many suggestions.

Some really good christian singers are Sara Groves,Bethany Dillon,MercyMe,Brandon Heath,and Nicole Nordman.
Some books that you might enjoy are Mysteries of Middlefield series by Kathleen Fuller,SummerHill secrets Series by Beverly Lewis, and The Princess Adelina by Julie Sutter.
I hope that helps!

I don't think I've commented here before, but I've been following your blog for a while now and really like reading your posts, especially about period drama and Christian novels (a.k.a. almost every post!), because those are subjects I'm very much into as well
Here are some suggestions from my personal reading list (Though as I'm from The Netherlands, and books arrive usually a few years later here than in the English speaking world, you might have read most of these already):
- I'd love to see reviews of anything by Lynn Austin, I think she's one of the best Christian authors. An interview would be great too.
- Maureen Lang
- Tricia Goyer
- Julie Klassen
- Deeanne Gist
- I haven't read them myself, but I'm very curious after the modern Austen retellings by Debra White Smith, which is a Christian author.
Good luck with my list!
- January 5, 2012 at 9:06 AM
- Ella said...
I thought of two more book series you might enjoy.
Adventures in the Northwoods and Viking Quest both of which are written by Lois Walfred Johnson.
- January 5, 2012 at 10:11 AM

Oh, this is exactly what I wanted! THank you SO much. :) I'm delighted. :)
MISS DASHWOOD: love "Scarlet Pimpernel." "Johnny Tremain" is another good one. I've read "North and South", didn't love it, but it was fine. P. G. Wodehouse is a fun author! Not sure if I've read that one or not. I read several of the books by Streatfeild...I know for sure "Ballet Shoes," not sure about this one. Will put the rest of those on my list!
As for the movies...I desperately want to see "Amazing Grace." :) And "Cranford." Just watched "Little Dorrit" recently! Really enjoyed that one, a review is coming soon! "Fiddler on the Roof..." I like the first 1/2, not the second so much. And "Up" I didn't really like either. (My favorite animated ones are "How to Train Your Dragon" and "Ratatouille." :)The rest of those...on my list! :)
I will look into the Irish Tenors. I do have Charlotte Church's "Prelude" CD (the Best of CC) which is a favorite of mine. I especially love her duet of "The Prayer" with Josh Groban! :) I don't know what kind of music to say I like. Singers like Josh Turner (country), Michael Buble (dunno), Katherine Jenkins (ummm...high soprano?), Susan Boyle, etc. :)
Thank you SO much, Miss Dashwood! Great lists. :)
ELLA: I haven't read any of those you suggested, so they're all going on my list! Thank you tons, I can't wait to read them. :)
BIRDIENL: I don't think I've seen you here before either...welcome! I'm glad you enjoy my posts. :) Yeah, I write a lot of posts about period dramas and Christian novels! A review of the period drama "Little Dorrit" should be coming in a few weeks.
Okay, let's see here. Lynn Austin. Trying to remember what she wrote...looked it up on goodreads. Are they romances? Because I'm not allowed to read most of those, sadly. But if they aren't predominately romances, then I will do my best to get ahold of some and will review them! And if I like them, yes, I'll do my best to arrange an interview.
Again, is Maureen Lang a romance writer? I have come across Tricia Goyer before, but am not allowed to read her books. :( Wow, her "Swiss Courier" book looks interesting! Maybe I can read it, I'll see. :)
Julie Klassen...I read one of her books before the no-romance ban came on, so to speak. It's reviewed...let me grab you a link real quick. Here: http://austenitis.blogspot.com/2011/05/apothecarys-daughter.html I liked that book. :)
Deanne Gist, again, romance. Sorry!
I haven't heard of those re-tellings before! goodreads.com (where I research most of my books) just went down temporarily, (as I'm writing this looong comment) so I can't look them up now. However, I'm remembering! If I read and enjoy them, a review will come.
Again, thank you so much for the suggestions! Can't wait to check them out. :) And how cool that you live in the Netherlands! I don't think I've known anyone who lives there before.
ELLA again: I will check into those series as well! They sound interesting. Thanks to the ideas!
Again, THANK YOU everyone! You're making my day. :)
- January 5, 2012 at 11:57 AM
- birdienl said...
What do you consider romance exactly? When this is the main plotpoint? Or when there is kissing involved? I'm not judging, I'm just curious. Because most novels, even Christian ones, have some kind of romance as a subplot and it would be tricky to find novels to read then, besides adventure.
Personally, I don't think either Lynn Austin or Maureen Lang's novels are romance novels. Tricia Goyer's Swiss Courier has only very little romance in it, other than already established relationships.
- January 6, 2012 at 10:09 AM
- birdienl said...
Oh, I just thought, maybe you could try Jeffrey Overstreet's The Colours of Auralia series. I don't know if you like fantasy, but this is Christian Fantasy of the very best sort!
- January 6, 2012 at 10:13 AM
- Ella said...
Your welcome!
- January 6, 2012 at 10:42 AM
- Charity U said...
Birdienl, good question. What DO I consider a romance? I'd say anything where the main storyline is girl meets guy, falls in love, has some problems, overcomes problems, marries guy. I don't mind kissing (as long it's pure, if you know what I mean). If it's a semi-minor subplot, I can probably. Finding books with absolutely NO romance is pretty much impossible. But if a book is categorized by the publisher as a romance, or if you would call it a romance (a love story, basically), then I probably can't read it.
Make sense? :)
- January 6, 2012 at 2:41 PM
- birdienl said...
Yes, thanks for explaining it! In that case I think I 'agree' with what I said in my previous comment about the books of Lynn Austin, Maureen Lang and The Swiss Courier by Tricia Goyer.
I'll keep an eye out for any other books I come across. Here in The Netherlands we have a magazine published by the Christian bookstores which tells of all the new publications coming out. I devour those magazines! Do you have anything similar in the USA?

I only have one disc drive on my computer, by the way. The window that is now open should show you along the left side, every device or disc that is mounted. This can happen as a result of installing other burning software. check my blog I have tryed cd-r disk, music disk, and games that previously worked.
