Ballathie to kick start Scotlands sales year
Ballathie to kick start Scotlands sales year
By Andrew Shirley
SCOTLANDS selling season has got off to an earlier than usual start with the launch of the £4.5m, 1300-acre Ballathie Estate, near Perth.
Properties north of the border tend not to come on stream until May or June, but David Strang-Steel, of selling-agent Strutt & Parkers Banchory office, reckons this may be changing. "Timing is not the issue it was 10 years ago; the winters here are certainly not as bad as they used to be. We didnt see much point in waiting."
Given the dearth of quality farms on last years market, the firm may have a point in releasing an early offering to stimulate demand from land-starved buyers looking for a conveniently located slice of Scotland. Especially as properties with such diverse attributes as Ballathie have tended to be few and far between recently.
The estate combines a good residential portfolio, generating an annual income of £37,000, with a 659-acre chunk of arable farmland, almost half of which is Grade 2, and some varied sporting and conservation opportunities.
Interestingly, the sale is on a lock-stock-and-barrel basis and includes two pedigree Aberdeen Angus and Charolais herds bred from stock supplied in 1999 by renowned cattle breeder Neil Massie.
"The owner really wants somebody to step into his footsteps," says Mr Strang-Steel. "Over the last three years he has put a huge amount of effort and capital into creating what is now a showpiece lowland estate."
There are almost 370 acres of mixed woodland which, along with five duck flighting ponds, form the basis for 12 days of let shooting. Three weeks of fishing rights on the River Tay are available for an additional £120,000.
Environmental concerns have also been high on the agenda for the current owner, a Scottish businessman, and the entire estate is covered by a five-year integrated conservation plan which incorporates a 108-acre site of special scientific interest and a significant amount of hedgerow replanting.
What Ballathie does lack, which the agent admits could deter some buyers, is a large principal dwelling. However, planning permission is in place to substantially expand Balmains House, originally constructed in 1890 as a dower house for the estate.
But, given the estates proximity to Edinburgh, he still expects plenty of demand. "I cant think of anything similar to this that has been available in Perthshire for the last five years." *
The Ballathie Estate, near Perth, kicks off this years Scottish farmland market.

CHELMSFORD, MA--(Marketwired - Apr 3, 2013) -
- Aspect's integrated workforce and contact center management platform key to exceeding business and customer expectations.
- Customers increase agent availability an average of 90 percent using Aspect's scheduling and performance monitoring capabilities.
- Companies were able to increase satisfaction to above 90 percent with a well balanced approach using Aspect's automated IVR along with live agents.
Aspect Software, a leading provider of fully-integrated customer interaction management, workforce optimization, and back-office solutions, today announced that an independent report from Nucleus Research found that customers deploying Aspect's fully-integrated interaction and workforce optimization platform for enterprise contact centers experience boosted call center efficiency, reduced management costs while increasing employee retention, and improved customer satisfaction levels.
"Today, most companies focused on customer experience recognize that they must optimize the use of domestic contact center resources, while improving customer experience and net promoter scores," said Rebecca Wettemann, Vice President Nucleus Research. "We found Aspect customers achieved a positive ROI through the ability to streamline call center operations, reduce management time and cost, and increase focus on the goal of improving the customer experience."
Maximizing their return on investment, Aspect customers participating in the report benefitted from:
- Increased call center efficiency through increased schedule adherence and occupancy.
- Increased visibility into customer interactions by providing both agents and managers with greater access to information.
- Reduced costs of operating the contact center through automation, integration, reporting and onboarding capabilities.
- Increased customer satisfaction with increased IVR completion rates, reduced call wait times, more accurate call status updates and increased visibility into agent performance, providing greater coaching capabilities.
- Improved employee morale with self-service scheduling of work hours and quality management tools enabling agents to better understand and adopt best practices.
A new wave of communication options has given customers limitless ways to make their voices heard -- whenever, wherever and however they choose. And they are using their newfound power to take control of the conversation, shifting the balance of power in their favor and sparking a "relationship revolution" that is thrusting the contact center into the center of these new, dynamic customer relationships. As Aspect's unified contact center platform works across all channels, it is able to deliver experiences that meet these elevated customer expectations. This fully-integrated solution has:
- Increased the ratio of active call time to paid staff hours by 10 percent with Aspect's integration with unified communications.
- Reduce overall call handling times for companies.
- Deliver more than a 200 percent increase in calls completed using automated systems when customers were able to resolve issues without speaking to an agent.
- Increased reported quality of 15 percent for companies using Aspect Quality Management.
"As the contact center emerges as the new center of the customer experience, companies must move toward the gold standard of an omni-channel experience, where interactions can begin in one channel and seamlessly move to another. The results of the Nucleus study confirm that Aspect is already in a leadership position when it comes to profitably orchestrating the people, processes and touch points around customer interactions," says Nancy Dobrozdravic, vice president solutions marketing at Aspect Software. "We believe that organizations that anticipate and adapt to this 'relationship revolution' will be better poised to build long-term customer loyalty and value, along with very satisfying bottom line outcomes."

The Securities and Exchange Commission has appointed Brian T. Croteau as its deputy chief accountant for the Professional Practice Group in the SEC's Office of the Chief Accountant.
Crouteau previously served in OCA as a senior associate chief accountant.
"I am pleased that Brian has agreed to again serve with us," SEC Chief Accountant Jim Kroeker said in a statement. "His expertise, wisdom and insight will be an important addition as we continue to improve audit quality."
Prior to joining the staff, Croteau served as an assurance partner in the Auditing Services Group of PricewaterhouseCoopers's national office where his responsibilities have included providing consultation and support regarding implementation, application, and development of auditing policies and standards. During his previous tenure in OCA, Croteau was instrumental in addressing a number of challenging auditing and internal control reporting related matters.
As deputy chief accountant for the Professional Practice Group, Croteau will play a key role in nearly all aspects of the SEC's work related to overseeing the activities of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, managing the resolution of audit independence issues and ethical matters, and monitoring audit and independence standard-setting internationally. He replaces Paul Beswick, who was named in November 2009 as deputy chief accountant for the Accounting Group in OCA.
"I'm honored and delighted to be returning to the SEC at such an important time to work with the talented and dedicated staff in the Office of the Chief Accountant on behalf of the investing public," said Croteau in a statement. "I look forward to applying my recent auditing and regulatory experiences to the continuous improvement of audit quality and financial reporting to enhance the reliability and usefulness of information provided to investors."

APIs – Piximilar and PixMatch
When you are working on a photo-related web service or mobile app you cannot evaluate the contribute that some APIs can give to it.
Today I want to talk about Piximilar and PixMatch, both these APIs are developed by Idée that is specialized in inmage recognition and visual search software.
But let's do a small summary of what you can do with the help of these solutions.
Piximilar Visual Search is an API that allows you to search through a large image database, without keywords or metadata, and it will find and show you similar photos, based on their content analysing attributes like colour, shape, texture, luminosity, complexity, objects etc.
Here is a video of this technology applied to a stock images database.
[blip.tv ?posts_id=986958&dest=-1]
PixMatch instead is a general image matching engine that lets you compare images, identify duplicates and filter them, everything on-the-fly and very fast.
There's only one drawback of this API because it's an hosted web service and you need to send your image collection via HTTP to their servers and even though it support huge collection, this could be a problem if you want to use photos you don't host on your servers.
For more information check out the company site
But now let's go back to us. What are the practical uses and application you can create with these sort of service?
At NightFarm we are evaluating to integrate these APIs in our, under-development, location based Photo service. Firstly to improve the results obtained from our search algorithm, so that we can exclude too many similar images taken in the same place. Then, imagine you are looking for a nearby place similiar to a photo you've seen on the web and show it on a map. This would be very useful and improve the user experience.
This is really a hard life..
This post is just to let you know that in this period there are few posts because it's a very full and hard period.
I know that every time I tell you this, but every time it's the real fact.. I'm not a liar.
What's keeping me really busy apart from the university exams that are draining my life is an important project that I'm taking on with one of my very best friends Mirko. (I don't even remember if I've already talked about this before). This project It's taking a lot of time to him too because he's working very hard to realize many things I'm not able to do. So I take this chance also to thank him for the great job!!.
So, what about the project?
We are trying to build up a small company that will develop mobile applications. NightFarm is the company name.
At the moment we are implementing the code for our site.. It's an hard work because it will be written using the latest CSS improvements, in order to give you a smooth and great experience.
We are also developing our first app starting from the design and the functions we want it to possess. For the moment I can only say that it will be a fantastic and useful app for photographers and people who like to take pictures.. 🙂

I wa so elated. I continued to get my Valium 10mg twice daily, and my Percocet 7.5/325 four times a day for greak through pain, also my Zoloft 250mg three times a day.
My primary Dr. had a family emergency and was going to ge gone for at least two weeks or more. so I was given the "on call dr and he refused to write my script for the "Valium", and I sometimes get Xanax which he also refused to write a script for. He just cut me off cold turkery, and I'm suffering something terrible, I've called everyone and anyone who would listen! I have gotten nowhere, I am suffering something awful, where can I get some medicaion or from somewhere reputable? Please help, I don't know what to do, and I am suffering without this medication I am open to any any suggestions. Bless you all, and thanks for listening. midwstma
Please advice me, I need help, can a doctor do this?

My dear freind,
A similar situation happened to me where I reside and the on call Dr. would not give me my script for Klonopin, they can not do that as your primary Dr. has left him your chart where the records are kept and the medications you take plus your history. I believe this Dr. does not care about leaving you cold turkey and you must report him when you can to the Medical Association for mal practice. He can not refuse to give you what your primary Dr. has always given you.
Is there anyway you can contact your primary Dr. and explain, this , as you know, this is very serious, I can not believe this Dr. did not give you your medication , I am outraged.
When this happened to me I contacted my primary Dr. and explain the situation and in 1 hour I had my prescriptions.
If you can not reach your primary Dr. you must talk to your on call again Dr. and tell him he can not cut you cold turkey just because he feels like it, tell him you will speak to your primary Dr. and explain the situation which is unethical and extremely dangerous to you.
I hope I have been of help... just do not give up until you get your medications.
All the best and please take care of yourself.
Maso, you're always there when someone needs you, I have taken care of this hemmoroid of a Dr. I will not give up until someone listens to me, I am appalled at his attitude and indignet that he thinks he can change what my own PMD has prescribed due to his own arrogance. He needs to lose his license to practice in my opinion. How they can do this to patients is beyond me, however it happens all too frequent in our world of medicine. Rest assured I shall write, call, and do headstands to get attention, whatever it takes to get this matter noticed.
You have a great day/night wherever you reside. Chilean I thought I read somewhere, is that not the place I watched on the TV about the stranded miners, who were saved after almost two months. Amazing , God was watching over them all, and also the genius people who came up with the alternate route to safe them all. Bless You my friend.. midwestma
I agree with you 100%, this Dr. must lose his liscense.
Take care my friend... and remember never to give up!!!
All the best from Chile,
I wish i was here when i had that problem.I don't know if it's the same for pain.When i had my total knee replacement in April the week i was released i went through that.Plus i i went through that a month later.It's something about a weekeng thing & it doesn't even have to be a norcotic.I feel your pain.I was never addicted to drugs so i didn't even know how to get them off the street.I was in so much pain & my mom just had to watch in pain.depression & other meds are alittle diff.but still pain.I wish i had a good answer,you could try really being a ...
Hi Midwestma, Unfortunately, it seems that a doctor can do pretty much what he/she feels like doing when your primary physician cannot be reached. I have even come across a situatuon where I could not get my scripts because my doctor had gone on vacation without notifying his patients. I think the most important thing right now is that you can not just stop taking your benzos just because your doctor is unavailable to you. I have always had good luck at the ER (especially the one my doctor works at ) they seem to be sympathetic to your problem enough so that they can give you a short supply until your doctor comes back. Best of luck, I hope you can find a doctor who can see his way clear to help you through this rough spot. Fall Queen
Hi midwestma,
As if you haven't been through enough lately, now this! I agree with FQ about going to ER, you can't just stop the benzos as maso said, dangerous indeed.
Saying a prayer for you lady.
Great advice Fall Queen. That's exactly what I would do. Go to the er where your own doc is affiliated. If my pain ever gets to the point where I need emergency intervention, I'll go to my surgeons hospital, not the nearest one! I miss you and hope you are ok??
Thanks everyone for your kind responses, I would have not thought of going to the ER, however I ended up going there anyhow, as I was having some serious side effects from lack of medication, when I told them what happened to me, they too were appalled at what this doctor had done, all records are on computer here, also after care comments about visits to the doctor. He wrote on my chart that he didn't find it necessary for me to be on Valium so therefore didn't prescribe it, I had a small seizure as a result, the ER doctor is reporting him to the AMA. I think thats is what he said, I've never seen a doctor so upset about what another doctor has done, or lack thereof, he gave me 60 10mg valium in case I cannot see my doctor when I need to. He was terriffic! I felt so blessed to have an understanding doctor, from what he said I could have ended up in ICU if I had not come in when I did. That terrified me to say the least.
so again thank you for all your wonderful advice, ya'll never fail me. for that I cannot even think of words to say just how much it meant to me.
Bless all of You! midwestma
Hi midwestma,
I am so sorry to learn you had a seizure from lack of benzos! Your doctor should indeed be reported to the AMA, hope he understands that he caused this problem for you. As if you haven't had enough to deal with lately!!
Hope you are feeling better, and write that jerk of a doc a letter lady!
Hi midwestma. I am happy you got the help you needed. But never forget what this doctor did to you and the suffering he caused. When your PMD returns, let her know exactly what this doc did to you and how upset the er doc was about it. Thank God everything went well. It could have been a disaster. Hopefully she will not want him to cover for her when she is not available in the future. You have the right to refuse to see him ever again! God Blessed you and kept you safe.
Hi Midwestma, I am going to comment on my answer, (can we do that?) Well I am, because I am the Queen! lol!!! Anyhow whenever you run out of your meds for an understandable reason, head to the ER. Benzo's can be particulary dangerous because you can have a seizure. I knew a girl who had a gran mal seizure and fell between the toilet and the wall. She ended up with more than fifty stitches (from hitting the toilet) right before she got stuck. Promise me you will never wait again! Whenever I have a problem especially a medical one, if I don't get what I need (RX, sick note for work,or just someone that can asnswer a question) I go right to the top if I strike out the first time. This stands for department stores,restaurants and any capacity the serves the public. I hate it when I am out to eat with someone and they say" I don't really like my meat, it's not done right", I say ask the server nicely to bring it back.
Not only should you be treated with respect, you should always get what you are paying for! OK, so that's more than my two cents, it's more like a dollar! Stand up for your rights! You did good. Fall Queen
Hi there my favorite Queen of Falls! You can comment on your comments comment whenever you want! And I couldn't agree more about going right to the top dog. Everyone deserves the best treatment possible. I hope you heard good news about your prescription. I haven't heard anything about it lately. Keep in touch.
Love you,
Hello everyone,
I was in to see my PMC , she was sent a letter by the ER doctor, demanding that she do something about this doctors behavior, he had complete access to my medical records, it was not a week-end etc. So Mr. Hemorrhoid Dr. was called on the carpet, I have no idea what the outcome will be, however he upset more than a few people in high places, regardless of what they do to write him up, he deserves every bit they dish out to him. I have all my medications and the next time my Dr. has to leave town she is going to have a permanent note in my chart stating that I can have my meds refilled in the same manner as I always have been getting them.
I might say I was amazed at how fast my PMC worked to get this matter resolved, along with ER Dr. I did write him a note thanking him for his great beside manner, and superb care he gave me when I got to the ER, no patronizing me, or looking at me like I was some off the street "drug seeker", I told him if we had more Doc's like him, there would be a plethora of people running to his office and changing Doctors.
I also wrote to the AMA, and the offices for malpractice insurance Doctors are required to carry. I reiterated my entire story, and within about 3 hours I received an e-mail telling me they would do everything in their power to rectify what had happened to me. I am feeling pretty good now, howver, it is not without the strength and advice from everyone here that continues to give me incredible feeling of self worth and feeling like I can do this, no matter what the situation has been. I cannot thank all of you how much you mean to me. I sit here crying as I type, just knowing I can reach out and have someone who understands what I go though without judgement or ridicule. Each of you have a special place in my heart forever.(group hugs) Gwendolene
I hope Dr. Hemmerhoid loses his license !!! He deserves it after what he put you through.
You are so sweet and caring, we love ya lady !!
Awww, you're so sweet! I'm so happy to hear how this turned out for you! We need to hear more happy endings to these horrific stories about Dr. H and company. Sorry, can't spell hemmaroid. But I can spell malpractice attorney! How about that? Very happy for you, Gwen. It sounds like you have a terrific doc who'll take good care of you. My best wishes and keep on posting.

According to official reports from Microsoft, it seems that the company is back-pedalling on their initial used games policy and online requirements.
President Don Mattrick wrote in an update today, "Since unveiling our plans for Xbox One, my team and I have heard directly from many of you, read your comments and listened to your feedback. I would like to take the opportunity today to thank you for your assistance in helping us to reshape the future of Xbox One."
He added, "You told us how much you loved the flexibility you have today with games delivered on disc. The ability to lend, share, and resell these games at your discretion is of incredible importance to you. Also important to you is the freedom to play offline, for any length of time, anywhere in the world."
In response to such feedback, Microsoft will be making the following changes to the Xbox One console:
- An internet connection will not be required to play offline Xbox One games – After a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again. There is no 24 hour connection requirement and you can take your Xbox One anywhere you want and play your games, just like on Xbox 360.
- Trade-in, lend, resell, gift, and rent disc based games just like you do today – There will be no limitations to using and sharing games, it will work just as it does today on Xbox 360.
But lets not forgot the xbox one is also losing some key positive features from removing DRM
- Family sharing is gone
- Game library anywhere is gone
In addition, gamers will also be allowed play downloaded titles offline and Xbox One games will be playable with no regional restrictions. Games can also be shared as they are today, just as downloaded titles cannot be shared or resold.
Lastly, disc-based games will require that the disc be in the actual tray, as is the case with the current Xbox 360.
So now let us hope that they skip the mandatory Kinect, which whatever they say you can do to it, is still mandatory and still an invasion of privacy.

Fire safety at new Cardiff stadium achieves perfect pitch
The new Cardiff City stadium is a 26,828 all-seated sport and concert venue that's home to Cardiff City FC and Cardiff Blues Rugby Union team. This state of the art modern complex includes a members' club with VIP bars, restaurant and corporate hospitality facilities.
For such an important new stadium it follows that public safety is of the highest concern, with a sophisticated fire safety system integrated to a public address voice alarm (PAVA) system, providing secure, fail-safe, emergency speech broadcast at all times. Designers and integrators of the L5 system, Cardiff based Tiger Fire and Security Ltd., specified four, four-loop, Kentec Syncro Fire Control Panels with full optimisation of detection circuit lengths (a total of 20km being used for both the Fire and PAVA Systems) and maximum hosting of open protocol fire detection devices.
The fire system, integrated to a 500-speaker PAVA system, protects public areas, including concourses and concessions, together with back-of-house areas such as changing rooms and offices. The system complies fully with BS 5839 Parts 1, 8 and 9, defining fire detection and fire alarm systems and voice alarm systems, and with the Green Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds.
Gareth Pezzack of Tiger Fire and Security Ltd., commenting on the new installation, says: 'With Kentec's Loop Explorer configuration software, complex cause-and-effect programming is efficiently achieved. What's more, the open protocol structure smoothes the path for future-proof system expansion, with the additional benefit of choice and flexibility when maintenance or servicing is reviewed.'

The iPhone 7 Plus Portrait mode is the perfect tool for creating amazing looking portrait photos (and more!) with your iPhone. Portrait mode allows you to easily create a shallow depth of field in your photos. This results in a beautifully blurry background that can usually only be achieved with a DSLR camera. In this tutorial you'll discover how to use the iPhone 7 Plus Portrait mode to create professional looking iPhone photos with wonderful background blur.
1. What Is Portrait Mode?
Portrait mode is a unique shooting mode available in the native camera app of the iPhone 7 Plus. It uses a special Depth Effect tool to create a shallow depth of field in your photos.
Shallow depth of field simply means that only a small part of the image is in focus while the rest is blurred. In most cases you would want your main subject to appear in sharp focus while the background appears blurred.
This soft blurry background is often called "bokeh" which comes from Japanese.
2. Why Use A Shallow Depth Of Field?
A shallow depth of field is often used by portrait photographers. Why? Because it places the emphasis on the person (or animal) and creates a soft, dreamy backdrop behind them.
Blurring the background is also really useful when shooting in locations with a busy, messy or distracting backdrop. The blurring makes the background secondary, bringing the viewer's attention back to the main subject in the foreground.
Shallow depth of field isn't something you'd use for every kind of photo. You typically wouldn't want a blurry background in a landscape or architectural photo as you'd want to see everything clearly from foreground to background.
However, in portrait photography, a shallow depth of field will make a huge difference to the impact of your image. By blurring the background you can really make your subject stand out.
3. Creating Background Blur On An iPhone
In the past, the iPhone camera hasn't allowed you to have any control over the depth of field in your photos. You've mostly just had the option to have everything in focus – unless your main subject was very close to the lens, in which case the background would appear blurred.
But with Portrait mode on the iPhone 7 Plus, you can now choose what's in focus and what isn't. This gives you unprecedented control over your iPhone camera, allowing you to mimic the look of DSLR cameras that can capture a shallow depth of field.
While Portrait mode is perfect for shooting photos of people and animals, it can actually be used to blur the background behind any kind of subject.
Many things look better when there's a soft, dreamy background behind them – especially if that background would distract the viewer from the main subject.
4. How To Use iPhone 7 Plus Portrait Mode
Creating a shallow depth of field with Portrait mode on the iPhone 7 Plus is very easy. Start by opening the native camera app, then swipe through the shooting modes (Video, Photo, etc.) until Portrait is highlighted in yellow:
The first thing you'll notice when you switch to Portrait mode is that everything gets bigger. That's because the camera automatically switches over to the iPhone's 2x telephoto lens. The telephoto lens typically creates more flattering portrait photos than the wide angle lens which can distort facial features.
You'll also notice the words Depth Effect appear at the bottom of the screen. And your phone will help you by giving on-screen instructions if you don't have things framed up optimally for a nice portrait shot. For example, you might see Move farther away or More light required:
Once you're the right distance from your subject, the words Depth Effect will be highlighted in yellow. You'll also see four yellow crop marks, roughly indicating the face of your subject:
You're now ready to shoot, so tap the shutter button to take your photo. After taking the picture, you'll notice that two versions of the image appear in the Photos app. One image will have the Depth Effect (blurred background) and the other won't:
Comparing these two versions of the image really shows how much nicer a portrait photo looks when it has a shallow depth of field.
If for some reason you're not sure which of the two photos had the Depth Effect, it will be clearly labeled in your photo library as shown below:
5. Tips For Creating Great Background Blur
When shooting with the iPhone 7 Plus Portrait mode, it's important to consider your background as well as your subject. The type of background you shoot against, and how far it is from your subject, will both have a big impact on the final image.
The Depth Effect in Portrait mode works best when your subject is far away from the background. The further away the subject is from the background, the more pleasant blur you'll get. Note the difference in the amount of background blur between these two photos:
So if your background doesn't look blurry enough when shooting in Portrait mode, move your subject further away from the background.
It's also important to actually have something in the background, so that there's some detail for the camera to blur. In the example below my subject was stood in front of a plain white wall:
Even though I used the Depth Effect in Portrait mode, the background doesn't look blurred because there's no detail there to blur.
In the next set of photos, there's a small amount of detail on the wall behind my subject:
You can definitely see the difference, and the bottom image with the Depth Effect is nicer. But the photo could be a lot more dynamic if there were some more details on that wall to show the blur effect.
In the shot below, there's a lot of detail and different colors in the background. This makes the blurring much more obvious:
Remember, if you want to achieve beautiful background blur, you need to have something in the background, and ideally it should be far away from your foreground subject.
iPhone 7 Plus Portrait Mode: Conclusion
The iPhone has always been an amazing tool for many types of photography – such as landscape, architecture and street photography. But now the iPhone 7 Plus offers the ability to shoot amazing, high-quality portrait photos.
The telephoto lens on the iPhone 7 Plus is more flattering for shooting people than the standard wide angle lens.
And the magical Depth Effect tool in the iPhone 7 Plus Portrait mode creates beautiful background blur – simulating the shallow depth of field that could previously only be achieved with a DSLR camera.
Taking photos with the iPhone 7 Plus Portrait mode is a joy. And your subjects are sure to be excited when you show them how good they look in your photos.
And don't forget, while Portrait mode is obviously the perfect shooting mode for taking photos of people and animals, you can use it on any subject where you want to create a lovely background blur.

March 6, 2010 (CHICAGO) --Chicago's first lady, Maggie Daley, was recovering Saturday from her cancer-related surgery the day before.
"She's feeling much better, and now she's going to do a little rehab for, I don't know how long. But that's part of it," Daley said.
The mayor said he didn't know when Mrs. Daley would be able to go home.
"They're gonna play it day-by-day. First, sitting up and things like that. Eventually, walking, because she's had a hard, difficult time walking," Daley said delivering an upbeat medical report about his 66-year-old wife.
Mrs. Daley is in Northwestern Memorial hospital, where during a two-hour operation Friday, a steel rod was inserted into her right leg. It had been weakened by a tumor.
The mayor calls the first lady a fighter and says the family is strong.

Temple Sholom offers an environment of spiritual creativity, encouraging development and expression of the spirit from an early age. We believe that children have sophisticated spiritual lives, and that their spiritual development and need to connect in community is as essential as that of an adult.
We understand the demands of family life in this day and age. We don't expect you to schlep back and forth throughout the week. Our religious school programming, including Hebrew instruction, happens once a week on Sundays.
We know that families come with many different backgrounds, educational needs, and personal goals for synagogue engagement. At Temple Sholom we welcome families from diverse backgrounds in search of all types of connections.
9:15 am: Yoga and Jewish Meditation followed by Tefillah/Community Worship. We start our day with yoga and meditation to open our hearts and minds and then flow directly into Tefillah.
9:45 am: Core Class is when children divide into small groups by age and we introduce the core concepts of our curriculum. Core curricular elements include: The Jewish Concept of God/aspects of God, Kedusha/Holiness, Torah and Jewish Texts, Moadim/Seasons including Holiday and Jewish Life Cycle Events, Tzedakah, G'milut Chasim, and Mitzvot, Israel.
10:45 am: School-Wide Project Time, or "My Big Idea". We take the concepts introduced in our core classes to the next level using inquiry-based learning. Using age-appropriate open-ended questions, students are presented with opportunities to deeply explore an area of interest. This encourages each child to follow their own curiosity and make the Jewish Education experience personal and meaningful to them.
11:15 am: Chugim. Our teens, faculty and community members share their unique passions and talents with students in 30-minute "electives" every Sunday. Each Chug lasts for 4 to 5 weeks allowing students to sample many different types of electives over the course of the school year. From "The Art of Storytelling" to Jewish cooking or meditation, our chugim nurture new interests and creative spiritual expression.
11:45 am: Community Lunch. One of the most important parts of "doing" in Jewish community is sharing good food and good company. Parent volunteers cook their family favorites for our whole school to enjoy together every Sunday– no nuts please!
12:00 pm: Hebrew. Children in grades 2 through 7 experience Hebrew language instruction in a warm, friendly, and interactive environment. Our Hebrew School builds bridges, making Hebrew accessible to students and their families. We will work with you individually to break down any barrier to learning. Hebrew education and b'nai mitzvah are customizable at Temple Sholom and families choose to begin at varying times.
Did you know that half of the Jewish world today speaks Hebrew as a first language!
– Hebrew is the language our people pray in– our students gain the tools for communal worship and to lead a congregation at b'nai mitzvah and beyond
– Hebrew is the language our people live in– our students engage with modern Israeli people, media and texts and appreciate the living language
– Hebrew is the language our people come from– our students encounter Torah and its stories in the original Hebrew
At Sholom, we have a variety of learning levels, styles and needs. All children are welcome regardless of background and experience.
You will be in good company! With a 70% interfaith community where at least one immediate family member does not identify as Jewish, we understand that each family comes to us with different needs. It is our role to provide Jewish education, relationships and theology while respecting the various spiritual paths that each child brings with them.
In Cincinnati, all the Reform synagogues are part of Kulanu, a collective Reform Jewish High School program for our teens. All the rabbis join with educators and specialists to teach at Kulanu. It occurs on Sundays from 5:30pm-7:15pm and includes communal dinners. For more information about Kulanu, our Jewish High School experience please contact Kulanu Director, Rabbi David Burstein at: email@example.com

Happy Tuesday!
I had received a few samples from MAKE Beauty that I wanted to share with you guys today on the blog. And to be honest, normally I wouldn't be using stock photos from sponsors but the samples that I had received were pretty small that it wouldn't give you guys a good close-up look to what the color of the lipstick and eye shadow really is. So to make this a better product review, I'm using their stock photos but giving you my opinion on each. :)
Matte Finish Eye shadow in Alabaster (Here)
Retail Price: $25 USD
This eye shadow is a great color to use as a brow bone highlight or inner corners of the eyes. I wouldn't use it for any other part of the eyes besides that simply because the color shade is a tad too light to use on the eye lids. Glides on smoothly and the shadow itself had a nice texture to it. Not grainy at all.
Silk Cream Lipstick in Taffy (Here)
Retail Price: $25 USD
A pretty berry-ish color for the lips when using it on a daily. It has great pigmentation and I found that it wears nicely though-out the day without having to re-apply as much. The travel-sized tube that they sent me is perfect to take along in the purse anywhere and I wouldn't mind using this color if this was the only I had laying around. It's almost like your lips but better. :)
And you can use the promo code "MAKEYOURSELF" until 5/31/16 for 20% off your entire purchase!
Disclaimer: MAKE Beauty did send me the complimentary products for a review.
But all honest opinions and thoughts expressed were my own.

We understand the value and comfort that exists in knowing help is there.
Our Director of Security, Stan, has 27 years of experience in the law enforcement and physical security fields. He served 11 years active duty in the Navy, moving up through the ranks, starting as a patrolman, then being promoted to supervisor, watch commander, and, ultimately, into the investigations division. While in the military, Stan attended school with focus on law enforcement and personal security. He went on to serve an additional 11 years in the Navy Reserve in the Law Enforcement Physical Security Unit. During his service with the Navy Reserve, Stan was stationed abroad, lending his physical security expertise to various regions. When Stan is not working, he enjoys running and spending time with his three children, watching their baseball and softball games. He also loves watching college basketball, especially when his team, Syracuse, is playing.

The R-310 is known for high quality and operating convenience. With proper maintenance it will provide many years of dependable and trouble free service. We wish you much success with this product and will always welcome any suggestions you may have as to how we may improve our products. Read this manual and familiarize yourself with the machine before using this equipment. Operation: A round product is placed on the carriage rollers and against the end stop. When the operator presses the foot switch, a time delay cycle that controls an air cylinder is activated, the drive roller starts to rotate, and the label starts it's dispense cycle. Air supplied to the cylinder causes the carriage holding the product, to be elevated into contact with the drive roller. When the product makes contact with the drive roller, it will start to turn. At this point, the label is being peeled from the backing paper and will contact the product just in front of the drive roll. As the product continues to turn, the drive roller will press the label onto the container until the label is completely applied. The carriage will drop, the product can be removed, and the machine is ready to repeat the cycle.

Turn your attention to the back of the R-310 where the AC Electrical cord is attached. 2. Remove the two screws where the Unwind Assembly will be assembled to the body using a 3/16" Allen wrench (not provided). 3. Remove the plates from the Unwind to reduce weight and make it easier to mount the assy. 4. Using a Square, mount the Unwind Assembly as shown below. The Long screw (¼-20 x 1-1/2") goes in the top hole. The shorter screw (1/4-20 x 11/4") is in the bottom. Note: Double checks squareness after the screws are tight and make adjustments as necessary. The Unwind Assembly needs to be square to insure proper tracking of the labels onto the product. Longer screw ¼-20 x 1-1/2" Coder Plug for Optional Hot Stamp Coder Foot Switch Plug AC cord Fig 2 Page 8 WEBBING THE R-310 Place the roll of labels on the unwind spool. Install the label disc and while pressing it against the label reel, tighten thumb screw. Remove enough labels so only backing paper is threaded from peeler plate back to rewind spool. Pull the web over the anti-stripper roller and down under the upper idler roll, between web guides and under star wheel. Set the web guides so that the web is held with minimum side play but still moves freely. Pull the web under peeler the plate, over top roll and between top and bottom roller and back under bottom roller to rewind spool. Fig 3 Page 9 WASTE REMOVAL Break the web as shown and turn it opposite the running direction to loosen it. Then remove the retaining clip and remove the web and discard it. Fig 4 Page 10 CARRIAGE ADJUSTMENT AND PRODUCT PLACEMENT SET CARRIAGE AS FOLLOWS 1. The product centerline should be slightly behind drive roller centerline when carriage is up, as shown by "Y" dim. in Fig. 5; 2. When product (A) is against drive roller, you should have a minimum 3/16" distance (dim.Z, Fig. 5) between product and peeler plate for product to sit well down between carriage idler rollers, (B, Fig.5) Use a 9/64 Allen wrench to loosen 4 cap screws (C) and relocate carriage blocks. Also keeps in mind that moving the lower carriage roller assembly forward or back in the actuator arm will affect values of "Y and Z". Refer to Fig. 6 on page 12 for this adjustment. You will have achieved close to equal spacing if roller centers visually form a triangle as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 5. After verifying that a product works well at a given setting, it would be a good idea to mark the rods where carriage blocks are set. Drive Roller X B Z Y A Fig 5 Carriage Blocks C Page 11 HORIZONTAL CARRIAGE ADJUSTMENT Using adjusting screws (D, Fig. 6), you may slide "Standard Carriage Assembly" left or right to improve or change alignment of product with label. When making this adjustment, you should check position of product drive roller (Fig. 5 previous page) to be sure it is still located to properly roll down label. To adjust drive roller, loosen the set screws (E, Fig 6) in the roller and move left or right as required. E D Fig 6 Page 12 VERTICAL CARRIAGE ADJUSTMENT This adjustment provides a means to relocate the lower carriage roller assembly into one of several pair of holes in the actuator arm, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 7. The purpose is, to minimize the distance the product has to travel to contact the drive roller (dim. X, Fig. 4) from page 11. To adjust the assembly loosen the two 8-32 screws (E, Fig.7) on side of actuator arms and relocate roller assembly. Use 8-32 screws (F) to adjust bottle stop (G) to best position the label onto the product. The view of the carriage is set to run a Fasson chart #4 (left side off first) die cut label. F G E Use one of several pairs of holes Fig 7 G Standard Carriage Assy. F Fig 8 Page 13 CARRIAGE ADJUSTMENT FOR TAPERED PRODUCTS A tapered product can be labeled on the R-310 by adjusting the carriage as follows. 1. Remove the tie bars on the bottom of the carriage assembly (H, Fig. 9). There are 8 screws as shown in (J, Fig. 9). H J Fig 9 2. Loosen the screws on the carriage blocks (K, Fig 9a.) 3. Separate or move closer the rollers on one or both sides of the carriage depending on the taper of the product. K Fig 9a Page 14 4. Place a product on the rollers and move the product and roller assembly so the product contacts the drive roll evenly. 5. Position the whole carriage at an angle (Fig 9b). This is so the label starts onto the product at an angle. This may seem contradictory, but the label must start at an angle so it ends up looking straight on the product. Note: Tapered Product must contact Drive roll parallel for straight label transfer. Fig 9b The Drive roller may need to be moved to allow the product contact the roller parallel by loosening the 4 set screws (L, Fig 9c). Also the bottle stop was positioned so the product rests against it for consistent label placement. L Fig 9c Snug all screws and label a product or two and examine it for wrinkles or position. Tighten all screws when adjustments are finished. Page 15 PEELER PLATE ADJUSTMENT The peeler plate assembly may require adjustment with the change of label length or product diameter. A short label with a small diameter product would require the edge ("A" Fig. 10) of the peeler plate to be closer to the Product Drive Roller "B" than a long label with a larger diameter product and will have to be adjusted accordingly. B Fig 10 A Move Closer Page 16 ADJUST PEELER PLATE AS FOLLOWS 1. Using the provided 9/64" Allen wrench just loosen – DO NOT REMOVE the two 8-32 SHCS located on the left side of the peeler assy. (see "C" in fig. 11) 2. Using the a 5/32" Allen wrench just loosen – DO NOT REMOVE - the two 10-32 SHCS located under the starwheel adjustment bar (see "D" in Fig. 11) to the right of the peeler assy. (see "E" fig. 11) 3. Adjust the peeler plate. 4. Re-tighten all screws. D E Fig 11 C Page 17 SECTION 3 OPERATION Select the product to be labeled and place it on the white carriage rollers. Move the product to the right against the bottle stop, take your hands away from carriage area then depress the foot switch. After the carriage drops back down, remove the product and inspect the label for proper application. If label placement is correct, continue this procedure and occasionally check label. Minor adjustments to the machine may increase productivity. For example, the control knob on top near the back of the dispenser adjusts the time the product is in contact with the drive roller. This allows the product to drop as soon as label is applied. Doing so will allow an experience user to label more products during a period of time. Once the machine is set up properly, the operator's dexterity is the key to speed. If you make machine adjustments and are not sure of their effect, do only one adjustment at a time in small increments. Timer: The timer adjustment dial on top of the applier ("J", Fig. 12), allows you to adjust the time that the carriage is held up to apply a label. For long labels the carriage assy. needs to stay up longer to insure the label wraps all the way around the product. Turn dial clockwise to increase time the carriage stays up. Turn counterclockwise to decrease the time. Note: The smaller knobs on the timer are not used at all. J Fig 12 Page 18 AIR ASSEMBLY ADJUSTMENTS Turn you attention to the underneath of the R-310. These two valves on the air regulator control the speed at which the carriage rises to label the product and falls back to rest. Each can be controlled individually as shown below. Turn valve 'A' clockwise to slow the speed that the carriage rises. Turn valve 'A' counterclockwise to increase the speed the carriage rises. Turn valve 'B' clockwise to slow the rate at which the carriage falls. Turn valve 'B' counterclockwise to increase rate carriage falls. B A Red hose Fig 13 (underneath the R-310) Page 19 AIR REGULATOR Turn your attention to the side where the air regulator is mounted. The Air Regulator is used to raise or lower the air pressure to the machine. This will allow the R-310 to run connected to virtually any Clean air source depending on how much Air pressure is produced by your compressor. It is also used to stay within the recommend air pressure of the machine 20-40PSI, 5CFM. Note: The R-310 is designed to label a variety of items from very small up to and including a Full Gallon jug. The Air regulator would also be used to increase air pressure to raise a heavy Full gallon jug. By the same token if a small vial were being labeled, not nearly as much air pressure would be needed to lift an item that weighed a few ounces or less. You want the carriage to rise smoothly and stay engage with the driver roller to insure proper labeling. Then again you don't want it to raise so fast that it bang's against the driver roller and cause damage to your product or the machine. The Air pressure takes a few seconds to increase so don't turn the knob 'F' too much. Also a small amount of turn may increase the pressure a lot. Turn the regulator knob 'F' slowly a ¼ turn and pause a few seconds watching the gauge as it rises. Try to label the product and then repeat as necessary. Turning the regulator a small amount then pause. Adjust knob 'F' clockwise to increase air pressure, counterclockwise to decrease it, watching the Air pressure gauge 'E'. F E Fig 14 Page 20 SECTION 4 MAINTENANCE STARWHEEL After continued use, the starwheel label sensor may become fouled with glue and the points could become dull enough so that it might fail to catch the leading edge of a label, thus allowing more than one label to be dispensed. It should be cleaned and sharpened as follows: Remove the 3 screws that hold the plastic black cover. Remove the starwheel pivot assembly and clean the starwheel with mineral spirits, lighter fluid, etc., until the wheel turns freely. If the points are dull, sharpen by placing the assembly flat on a piece of crocus cloth or other very fine emery clothes or paper. (See illustration below). Gently hone the points by moving the assembly in one direction until all the points are sharp, i.e.. If you do 10 strokes on one side, do 10 strokes on the other three sides. This will keep the starwheel concentric. Lightly oil the wheel, making sure it turns freely before reinstalling. Make sure it turns freely before reinstalling. Fig 15 Remove 3 Pan head screws Fig 16 Remove spring and slide Star wheel assembly off. Hold Index finger on top of star to keep it steady. Fig 17 Hone direction Page 21 GENERAL MAINTENANCE Drive rolls: The drive rolls must be kept clean. Wash with lacquer thinner or other recommended solvents to remove gum buildup or small bits of labels adhering to rollers. Never use razor blade or sharp instruments on rollers. Damaged or gummy rollers will cause inconsistencies in label application. If they are damaged, replace them. Part Number "SRL-500-33-A", both rollers are the same. Lubrication: The only part in the applier that requires lubrication are the 2 main shafts (drive and rewind) that rotate in bushings. These bushings should be oiled once every 2 or 3 years. Remove cover to oil internal bushings as shown below in Fig 17b. Oil here Oil here Fig 17a Fig 17b Oil here Fig 17c Page 22 TECHNICAL SUPPORT When calling for Technical Support: have your Model # : R310 and the Serial Number ready (located on main base plate on the same side where the Air Regulator is).

Earlier this month we had the pleasure of hosting Miyesha Perry, Manager of Grants and Administration at the Morris & Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation, for a special program on the Washington Regional Association of Grantmaker's common grant application. Miyesha not only provided tips for improving common grant submissions, but shared a lot of great insights for proposal writing in general – insights too great not to share here!
- Know the landscape in which you work and what organizations might be doing similar work in your community. Keep abreast of things that might affect your work (i.e. politics and policy changes).
- If you have a deficit, don't ignore it. It is better to acknowledge and explain, rather than simply avoid.
- Give the funder as much information as you can, including letters of support if you have them.
- Keep your results and outcomes reasonable.
- If you don't have an attachment the funder has asked for (such as an audit) let them know. Otherwise the grantmaker may assume your application is incomplete, and many of them do not have time to follow up with you.
- A funder needs to see how you are going to fund your project, that includes sharing income you have received (or plan to receive) from other sources.
- Notify your funders about significant changes at your organization (mergers, major staff changes, etc.). Your funders shouldn't be the last ones to know. Tell them yourself before they read it in the newspaper.
For more information on how to write a competitive grant proposal, register for our three-day Proposal Writing Bootcamp, March 11-13, 2015. The first two days are devoted to proposal writing exercises, peer review exchanges, and creating sample budgets. On the third day, you'll do actual foundation research and participate in a mock proposal review process that will help you understand the proposal from a grantmaker's perspective. Click here to register.

Medium antique singing bowl, fundamental tone G. Joseph describes this singing bowl as a high quality singing bowl with a near perfect shape and equally great sound. The centuries of age have taken away the floral engravings that would have decorated the surface of this bowl. Only a few small marks remain, but the smoothness and thinning that come with age also improve the tone and this bowl sounds amazing.

Crow Teaches the Song of Himself
Crow Teaches the Song of Himself
I walk out into kelp-smell, clouds of swifts rising,
and one fine crow, taking, like me, the air.
Through striped poppies with orange flauntings
sulfur-colored mustard, wild tomatoes –
and here's that one fine crow,
swanking down the path ahead of me.
Ah, how he is taken with himself!
How he knows he adorns the day!
For the whole sky rides in his blue-black feathers
and the sun of his yellow eye.
And I too swank – I too in his wake
loaf and stroll and glint my shining eyes
at a pack of truant gulls whooping and helling
round a squadron of portly pelican beadles
at leapfrog terns and peregrines
and small black-and-yellow bees in the lupine.
And I nod to right and left over my gleaming
shoulders, fine as this briny day.

The Morris Minor was a popular economical and affordable car of the late 40s to the mid 60s. Given that the last ones rolled of the production in around the turn of the 1970s, they are getting a bit long in the tooth. If you are thinking of buying a Morris Minor, you should really seek the help of an expert to avoid buying a pig-in-a-poke or worse, a dangerous car but here are some of the common problems that we know of.
One common problem with a Morris Minor problem arises if you don't use your vehicle frequently. The Brake master cylinders tend to seize up unles they are used. There are a couple of solutions to this, firstly, drive your car more often. Secondly, it is possible to convert the front original drum brakes to discs. This is best done using a servo to assist braking but if you can't run to that, the level of braking will be pretty much the same as with the drums but will be less likely to seize.
The Morris Minor, in common with most classic cars, suffers badly from rust. Some of the known bad areas are around the headlights and next to the doors on the front wings, bottom of the boot lid and inside the boot right at the back on the body floor, lower part of door (externally and underneath. The sub frame or chassis may be corroded or otherwise damaged if the door gaps are not even. As usual, the sills tend to be rusty spots too.
The chassis rails are prone to fatigue and corrosion, they may be patched which could render the vehicle unsafe so make sure that if you are buying a Morris Minor, it needs checking carefully.
One of the biggest problems that you might face though is getting replacement parts, particularly for gearboxes.
