CANTON, CHINA — A local official who spoke with members of a Soviet parliamentary delegation that recently visited this city reported that the Russians seemed equally impressed and perplexed by the thrusting, anything-goes atmosphere that prevails along the banks of the Pearl River.
``If this is Marxism, I must re-read Marx,`` one Russian is said to have remarked. During their time here, the officials were exposed to the city`s exploding free enterprise, to its Western-style hotels rivaling the best in Hong Kong, and to the many other signs that Canton has lost its heart to the policy of the ``open door.``
Nobody should be surprised that the city, beyond all others in China, has been seized with the idea of adopting Western ways. Chinese records have travelers from the Roman Empire arriving here to pay tribute nearly 1,700 years ago, a millenium before Marco Polo`s caravan reached the Great Khan`s capital on the site of modern-day Peking. The first American merchant ship to reach China docked here in 1784.
In the 19th-century, Canton was the first Chinese city opened to Western trade, the first to grant foreigners a territorial concession, on Shamian Island, and the first, in the opium war of 1840, to experience the humiliations that Britain and other imperial powers imposed on many regions of the country. In 1978, when the open door policy was declared, Canton was out of the starting gate when other major cities were still saddling up.
It makes for a startling contrast with the bitter days of Mao`s Cultural Revolution, 15 years when a foreigner traveled at night through darkened, deserted streets, the loudest noise the hum of car tires on the pavement as a driver coasted along in neutral gear. These days the city has 6,500 new Japanese-made taxis, and streets in the city center are a hubbub of merchant activity into the small hours.

A study that appeared recently in the Journal of the American Society of Hematology indicates there is an increased risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma after Q fever.
While doctors have previously reported that those with
non-Hodgkin lymphoma
have also developed Q fever, they thought that this kind of cancer was a risk factor for the disease. One patient spurred this study after developing a tumor near the previous Q fever infection.
Q fever is caused by the Coxiella burnetii bacterium and is primarily transmitted through infected waste of cattle, goats and sheep. Among the public, Q fever affects approximately 3 percent of U.S. adults. This increases to 10 to 20 percent for
farmers, veterinarians
and others who work with these animals.
Through evaluating the number of lymphoma cases across the general public in France compared with those within the Q fever registry, researchers found that patients with Q fever were 25 times more likely to develop diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
"As we continue to learn more about the association between C. burnetii and lymphoma, these results should encourage clinicians to survey high-risk patients as early as possible for potential cancer,"
lead study author Didier Raoult said. "Ultimately, this early diagnosis and treatment would improve outcomes for Q fever patients who subsequently develop lymphoma, particularly those with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma."

Yesterday, my wife and I attended the 2nd annual Santa Fe Renaissance Fair at El Rancho de las Golondrinas living history museum. It's a pretty small event as these sorts of things go, and I really wasn't expecting much: a handful of merchants and some bedraggled, overworked SCA enthusiasts. But once inside, I was impressed with the merchants, games, food, drink (including local mead), and entertainment. I look forward to next year's event.

Kingsmeade Cheese, Masterton
Since 1998, artisan cheesemakers Miles and Janet King have quietly created a broad range of supreme ewe and cow's milk cheeses on their idyllic 30-acre farm on the outskirts of Masterton in the Wairarapa. Kingsmeade started out making ewe's milk cheeses with milk sourced from their own flock of East Friesian sheep. Later, cow's milk (from cows on a neighbouring farm) and blended cheeses were added to the range.
Calm and quietly spoken, Miles is hands-on – from the first steamy breath of the newborn lambs to the twice-daily milking, cheesemaking, cutting and packaging. Wild herbs like chicory, plantain and lucerne cover broad, green meadows where the sheep graze – they are big, contented and full of personality – no need to round them up at milking time, they hear Miles' voice and come on their own. Each batch of cheese is handmade in the small factory on the farm which makes for delightful subtle differences.
Compared to cow or goat's milk, sheep milk can often be consumed by the lactose intolerant, it can ease asthma & excema, and very likely lowers blood pressure. It is richer in vitamins, proteins and amino acids as well as the right kinds of fats, ie: Omega 3 and 6.
Kingsmeade believes that contented animals, gently cared for, will produce the finest cheese. "Our sheep are truly contented – well looked after and well fed on lush green pastures. You can taste it in our cheese."
Kingmeade Cheese are winners of the Supreme Award of the Mindfood Producer's Awards 2014.

LINCOLN, Neb. — — There is only one athletic director in Division I with both basketball teams in the Elite Eight, and he arrived at Pinnacle Bank Arena about three hours before UConn's regional semifinal against BYU on Saturday.
To say Warde Manuel is happy about what is happening this week would be an understatement.
"There is a huge benefit to this for us," Manuel said. "Both our men's and women's teams have had and sustained excellence. The big benefit is to our fans, our supporters, our students. And it shows the rest of the country the level of commitment to success that we have as an institution for a number of our different programs."

Good Morning, today is going to be ear marked Sunday Share day. Happening every other Sunday. I'll be sharing a scripture and then my project!
So, here we go...
Friday I was at work and my co-worker walked in the office and said, her mantra for the day was Romans 8:28. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Quickly we both said "all things means all things!" Sometimes we get so caught up in the hustle and bustle of a holiday season or even just life on it's own. We see things happen and we wonder - all things Lord? Yes, All things. God is in control of all. and I love him so - regardless of what I may be going through or see that I cannot control...It is all good! He knows my name....He hears my every thought...(I love that song!)
Well here too is my project for today's Sunday Share!

Question about Carrier 38CKC036 Air Conditioner
I have a 15 year old Carrier condensing unit (38ck030300) which I believe is a 3 ton unit. Due to it's age I was thinking about replacing it this winter since we live in Texas and worry about it failing through the hot summer. I got a cost estimate that was about double what I paid to replace a 5 ton unit two years ago. I thought about buying a unit on line and hiring a tech to come out to install it for me. What would your suggestion be?
Posted by trtfs on
Don't even think about it. This is an industry where you get what you pay for most of the time. Is your system not working currently? If there is a guy willing to install a system you bought off the internet he doesn't belong in this industry. I have gone behind people like that and had to explain to a homeowner how someone did a complete botch on their job and I have to rip it all out and start over. BE VERY CAREFUL if you want to try that. A company's price is usually a reflection of their quality and level of service. When was the last time you ever got anything of the highest quality for the cheapest price?

Where's ol' Bill Callahan? He's out riding through Europe on his Apocalypse tour, leaving scorched earth and either broken or sold records in his flaming wake! Classic venues like London's Barbican are falling, one by one, selling every ticket and unloading hoards of merch, like his debut novel from last year, which as a musical-cum-literary personality, Bill has the temerity to sell (and sell and sell) at his shows. Yep, Bill Callahan is striking while Apocalypse is still smoking hot, pulling tears and... (read more)

We're proud to say that Talahomi Way, the new long player from our master-arranger-and-sorcerer-of-the-melodic-pop-song brethren, just keeps flying off the shoppe shelves! It's a real success, that one. Not to balls-up any of this hard earned momentum, the cockers have gone and booked themselves a few dates 'round ol' Blighty. Since much of the time between Llamas albums proper is often spent spitting music into projects with French... (read more)

Ireland – A land of myths and legends
By Lorna Heatley
12 January 2018
Whether they are told in a rhyme, a ballad, or written in an ancient tome, the myths and legends of Ireland are some of the most well known in the world.Read more
The Award Winning Leader in Escorted Worldwide Rail Tours
Steeped in history, the charming city of Galway is often referred to as the 'most Irish' of Irish cities, where the language can often be heard in the shops and the streets. The city also boasts a contemporary vibe, and this exciting contrast means that between the remains of the medieval city walls and beautiful 16th century buildings, there is an array of brightly-painted pubs and a long promenade leading to the famous bay.
Galway began as a tiny fishing village catching salmon from the River Corrib. In the 13th century the then-town was captured by English forces, who built the defensive fortifications that remain today. Supporting the English crown ensured that Galway thrived, and its coastal location meant that it was soon trading wine, spices and fish with much of Europe, becoming one of the continent's largest ports in that time. Today the city is still a major tourist attraction, still famed for its fishing heritage - in particular, the oysters from Galway Bay. Highlights of the city include the grand harbour area and the mighty Galway Cathedral, whose distinctive dome is an icon of the city's skyline.
Rugged coastline, beautiful rolling hills and dramatic castles are all within reach on this tour of the Emerald Isle. Our highlights include the Ring of Kerry, Cork and Killarney, the legendary Blarney Stone, the Cliffs of Moher and Ireland's wonderful capital, Dublin.… see more

A few weeks ago I blogged about a new favorite show – American Pickers – about two childhood best friends from Iowa who comb the country in a van knocking on stranger's doors, going into dilapidated barns and storage units to dig through piles (usually junk) in hopes of finding a treasure. Or as they say, anything they can sell for a profit.
It's addictive, especially if you have even the slightest picking tendencies -(hello flea market, antique shop, garage and estate sale lovers!) But the other cool thing is that you get to see the backroads of America that most of us don't ever see. It's a lot like being on a cross country road trip since much of the show is shot from their van. Check them out on the History Channel on Mondays at 9pm. Here's a clip.
Anyway about the giveaway! I was totally surprised and excited when I received an email from the History Channel offering my readers a gift of The American Picker's – Season One on dvd! Actually they sent me two (maybe one was for me, but since I've seen and tevo'd them all I'll gladly pass it along so there can be two winners!)
All you have to do is leave me a comment with your email address so I know how to find you if you win! No having to go surf around any other sites, do a backflip, friend me on facebook, subscribe to the blog, then leave a comment about your favorite color! Just a comment with your email. That's it.
That said… it would be awesome (but won't sway the scientific random selection widget that I have to figure out how to install) if you either tell about a favorite pick of your own and/or your favorite episode of AP. But in the interest of full disclosure, the History Channel did not ask for readers to do a thing! I just thought it would be fun 🙂
Now to sweeten the pot, I'm throwing in a pick of my own to this giveaway as a gift to you all! A thank you from me to you for reading and supporting the urban farmhouse! So in addition to the AP dvd, I will give both winners, something I 'picked' last summer while in Paris at the venerable Clinquencourt flea market.
I fell in love with this antique linen drapery panel and had it made into pillows. It made many, some of which I sold in the store. Fortunately, I saved a few so the winners will each receive a beautiful 20″ x 20″ pillow!
To get into the spirit, I thought I would share some of my most recent picks as well as my all-time-best-pick-ever.
The Alameda Antique Fair has been rained out the last two months, so I've had to find alternative ways to get my fix. Luckily I have attended several great estate sales in the city as well as discovered a great 'antique shop within a shop' that just opened near my house.
I found these bowls at an estate sale, mixed in among a bunch of kitchen stuff. The bottom says they're McCoy, but I'm not sure if they're authentic? Anybody collect McCoy and can tell me?
At the same estate sale, I found (heart be still) this set of Emma Bridgewater pottery which I have loved for seriously ever!
The set for 8 is complete and includes cups and saucers, teapot, creamer and sugar bowl, breakfast plates and bowls (which are not meant to be with the set since they say "Risotto, Pasta and Sorrel Soup", but I am guessing they were purchased to be used for cereal or porridge and complete the breakfast theme).
For the entire set of Emma Bridgewater as well as the McCoy bowls I paid $80! Perhaps this is my new 'best pick ever'?
My local antique source is a treasure trove of wonderful findings. The newest acquisition is this chippy basket.
I love it and it fits perfectly in the new linen closet! The perfect container for beach towels.
I don't know much about it's history, but the store owner mentioned it coming from Long Island. It is beyond sturdy. It could carry a load of bricks and not break.
Last but not least, my best pick ever was a small limoges porcelain box.
I bought it at the Goodwill in Seattle (the big one on Dearborn) about 7 years ago. I was looking for pretty teacups for my daughters 5th birthday – a tea party – and on the shelf was this dainty box. Inside it said simply 'merci'. It was $ 0.50. Tragically, it broke about a month ago. My storage for select earrings. I can't part with the top quite yet so this is all I can show you.
I hope you all are enjoying some time off this holiday season and doing some picking of your own along the way!
Please do enter the giveaway! It ends on January 4th, coincidentally my 1 year blog anniversary! Just click on the teeny 'comment' below, then follow the steps!
In the meantime, you can stay up to date with Mike and Frank on their facebook page.

At Work: Creative thinking gets cramped
Too little time, unrealistic expectations have 1 in 4 in creative fields thinking of quitting.
Article describing the results of a survey with 400 professionals in design or visual arts, production and direction, photography, publishing and advertising or marketing
"The biggest challenge to working in a creative job is staying inspired. Nearly 70% said they want more creative time and 63% said they do not have the time they need for creative reflection and inspiration.
Time constraints make these workers feel stuck in a rut because they have too many competing priorities to just sit and think. Another insight: If these workers feel under the gun, they are less likely than others to take creative risks.
'People spout the mantra, 'Think outside the box.' But doing that, then executing on things outside the box, create risk,' a creative director at an advertising agency told me. 'And clients and executives don't want to take risks anymore.'"

I remember when 30 was my scary year and then I turned 30 and I was like....ok.... 35 is the new scary year....
Well....I don't think I have a new scary year....which tells me that maybe I have matured a bit when it comes to thinking about aging.
Cuz I feel like I know a lot more than when I was 30....but I don't really feel any older. So what's wrong with that? Nothing really.
I feel more settled than when I was 30...have a better understanding of what my morals and ethics are...I feel like I understand my job more.....feel more comfortable with what I want in my relationships and friendships.
Nothing wrong with that at all!
So when I was thinking about a birthday post I was like...maybe I should do 35 things about me to celebrate the number of years I am turning....but that felt like I was beating a dead horse...cuz I don't know if there are 35 things I want to share about myself!
So I settled on 10. Nice even number.
|A carefully curated selfie so that I can look back at my 35 year old self.
Let's go with the random, boring facts!!
1) I used to take painting lessons.
I don't think I was that good...but my best friend took them...and I liked the idea of painting. I have one painting that I did in my house....in a drawer.
2) I used to.....
ok... let's start over again...these are superficial things about me...that no one probably cares about...let's get to the nitty gritty.
1) I am a feminist.
Yup....and I married one too.
2) I am non-spiritual, non-religious....but I support your right to chose religion. I am driven by human compassion.
3) I am a straight ally. What does that mean? I support equal rights no matter your identified sexuality or gender.
4) I support choice.
5) I seek diversity...I love learning about other cultures, ethnicities...there is no need for intolerance.
6) I believe in science.
7) I believe women have remarkable bodies..we can carry and/or feed a baby, run a marathon, work 12 hour days, solve problems....what's not to love?
8) I support families who have children with special needs: physical, social/emotional, behavioural, developmental...I have been bit, hit, yelled at, had to help kids out from under my desk....they all leave a mark on my heart and I remember them.
9) I believe in early intervention...because why should we look back with regret?
10) I believe we all know someone in poverty. Understanding and assistance is what they need...not suspiciousness and ignorance.
These are 10 things that I possibly knew before I was 30...but definitely know now that I am 35.
So why look back!?
(And Ringo Starr...cuz we share the same birthday)

This is not about self improvement.
This is about self acceptance.
This is about recognizing that you are strong & wild at heart.
Accepting that you are raw in some ways and polished like gold in others.
Starting with the She in You, shine in your own corner of the world &
be the Mirror reflecting the Freedom within others.

PUTNAM VALLEY, N.Y. – Putnam Valley High School is celebrating the accomplishments of a senior recently selected to perform as first soprano in the All-State Mixed Choir.
Tess Rhian represented her high school at the New York State School Music Association's annual Winter Conference in Rochester late in November, according to a statement from the high school.
According to the statement, performing in the All-State Mixed Choir is the highest state-wide achievement for a high school singer.
"Tess's accomplishment is of historical significance for our still young high school, as she is only the third PVHS chorus student, and the first female chorus member to have qualified and been selected for this highly competitive ensemble." said Gerard Micera, director of choral music and theatre.
This past fall, Putnam Valley had nine student musicians selected to participate in the Area All-State Music Festival, which was held at Arlington High School, according to high school officials.

In this post I shall be reviewing Auto Change Wallpaper android app.
Auto change wallpaper is an android app that allows you to change background of your Android device at a fixed interval.
The app opens up with a nice screen that allows you to Add images and another option to actually start this service.
Once you add images the app can easily switch the wallpaper at the interval you set it.
Once you have enabled the service, using top right button, you get an option to set the interval on Pop up.
On the bottom right, there are few other options to Remove All Images, Save, and rate the app.
Besides this there is not much in the app to write about.
You can download the app from playstore.
Below are few of the screens of the app.

Outcome of the first monitoring visit from Ofsted – April 2018 - Following the recent visit by Her Majesty's Inspector Simon Mosley and Ofsted inspector Mark Feldman, please see a copy of the report and letter to parents here: Please click here for a copy of the letter sent home to parents, and click here for a copy of the latest report.
As you know, SUA was recently inspected by Ofsted. We have shared our disappointment with students and parents but remind you of the journey we have been on over the last two years and of our absolute commitment to continue to rapidly improve.
We want to reassure you all again that we will continue to be relentless in driving standards forward.
Some of you will not recognise what is described in the report because your son / daughter is thriving at SUA. However, we need to emphasise that we accept that this judgement was made and following this outcome we are, more than ever, committed to further developing our working partnership with parents and families. The improvement process will be enhanced if you are able to contribute to the discussions and be kept up to date regularly with the progress being made.
We are very grateful for the support that our community has shown us since the publication of the report.
