Frenchic Furniture Paint
I am not really a chalk paint fan as I love emulsion because of its versatility, so if a paint of this ilk is to impress me, it had better be pretty good! I'm delighted to tell you that Frenchic Furniture Paint didn't disappoint in any way, shape or form. I received four sample pots and for my first trial piece I chose Panther, a beautiful dark but soft grey colour together with Pea Soup which looked exactly like the food of the same name that made a wonderful contrast.
I began by sanding down my first piece - the instructions say there is no need to do any prep work but the top of the cabinet I'd chosen had a very glossy varnish finished and I always prep well regardless of the paint as you get a much better finish (read on for my opinion of how it faired on unprepped wood). The paint went on beautifully and covered really well to a lovely flat finish. The furniture paint is quite thick however it didn't leave those nasty brush strokes that some chalk paints do. The Pea Soup paint in particular did a fabulous job of covering the dark brown wood, even on the first coat and if I hadn't had been so conscious of making sure that I had enough for a second coat, I think I could have managed with just one of Panther; the second coat went on like a dream too. If you want to make the paint go a little further, you can always water the second coat down.
Frenchic Furniture Paint is an excellent product for first time furniture painter and upcycler as well as for seasoned professionals. It would be difficult to go wrong with this paint and for the novice, it is a paint that can only increase your confidence as it gives such a great finish. I spoke with Pam of Frenchic, whose passion and enthusiasm for the company she started in 2014 is almost limitless. The paint has a zero VOC content (which means it is categorised as having under 5 grams per litre of volatile organic compound content)and is solvent free. Frenchic Furniture Paint also bears the InVeNa and the European Union Eco Label and at present is applying to the British Asthma Association for endorsement. The paint is clearly labelled with a list of the ingredients which make up its contents, something many chalk paint providers do not do. Having been a painter herself for many years she was keen to explain how and why each product has been developed carefully and produced in the way it has been from the brushes with a mixture of natural and synthetic fibres to the wide neck sample pots which enable you to get a fair sized brush into each one. They currently have thirty-five stockists in the UK with many more in the pipeline and the brushes sell worldwide. Frenchic also have a range of other products for sale including wax, finishing coat and an 'eco' primer/sealer which sounds very interesting! They also have a product called Frensheen which is a natural mineral, metallic finish.
I also tested this product without any prep other than cleaning the surface of my next piece of furniture to remove the dust. The instructions state it will 'work well with practically any surface without the need to prime'. Again, this product covered well and the second coat went on smoothly without dragging. The fingernail scratch test is always a good indication to gauge a paint's adhesion and when buffed there was no loss of paint particlarly around the edges where erosion is often at its most severe. I loved using this product - its ease of use to its eco credentials. My one and only niggle was that the sample pot is only 100ml, a little on the small size to really be able to trial the product as well as I might have liked. A 200ml pot would provide a much better idea of what the paint can do.

North Dakota Farmers to File Lawsuit Against DEA to Grow Industrial HempJune 18 Teleconference for Media to Feature Legal Team and Plaintiffs
BISMARCK, ND — Two North Dakota farmers will file a lawsuit Monday, in federal court in Bismarck, in an effort to end the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's (DEA) ban on commercial hemp farming in the United States.
The farmers – State Rep. David Monson, Osnabrock; and Wayne Hauge, Ray – will hold a local press conference in front of the William Guy Federal Building at 10 a.m. CST, shortly after filing the lawsuit. Also attending is North Dakota Agriculture Commissioner Roger Johnson, who issued state licenses to grow hemp to the two farmers earlier this year.
Following the media availability, Monson and Hauge will join Washington, DC-based attorney Joe Sandler and Vote Hemp President Eric Steenstra, on a nation-wide telephone press conference. The teleconference begins at 11:05 am CST (12:05 EST). The call in number is 1-800-896-8445 and the conference ID is 7HempFarm. Following brief remarks the participants will be available to answer questions.
WHO: Rep. David Monson, North Dakota House assistant majority leader, farmer
Wayne Hauge, Seed breeder, licensed hemp farmer
Roger Johnson, North Dakota agriculture commissioner
Tim Purdon, Vogel Law Firm, Bismarck, attorney for the plaintiffs
Joe Sandler, legal counsel for VoteHemp.com
Eric Steenstra, president, VoteHemp.com
WHAT: Media Availability and Teleconference on New Lawsuit to Grow Hemp
WHERE: William Guy Federal Building, 220 E. Rosser Ave., Bismarck, ND 58501
WHEN: Monday, June 18, 10:00 am CST Media Availability, Teleconference 11:05 AM CST
Teleconference call in number is 1-800-896-8445
Conference ID: 7HempFarm
More on the Lawsuit
The North Dakota Legislature recently removed the requirement that state-licensed industrial hemp farmers first obtain DEA permits before growing hemp. The question before the U.S. district court will be whether federal authorities can prosecute state licensed farmers who grow non-drug oilseed and fiber hemp varieties under federal marijuana laws.
"The legislative action was a direct response to the DEA's refusal to waive registration requirements, including $3,440 in non-refundable yearly application fees, and the agency's inability to respond reasonably to the farmers' federal applications in time for spring planting," says Eric Steenstra, Vote Hemp's President and co-founder. Please click here to read a PDF of the DEA letter that was ND's last straw.
Vote Hemp, the nation's leading industrial hemp advocacy group, is providing financial support for the lawsuit. If successful, states across the nation will be free to implement hemp farming laws without fear of federal interference.
# # #
Vote Hemp is a national, single-issue, nonprofit organization dedicated to the acceptance of and free market for low-THC industrial hemp and to changes in current law to allow U.S. farmers to once again grow this agricultural crop. More information about hemp legislation and the crop's many uses may be found at www.VoteHemp.com or www.HempIndustries.org. BETA SP or DVD Video News Releases featuring footage of hemp farming in other countries are available upon request by contacting Adam Eidinger at 202-744-2671.

HYPERTOURProject ID: 20799
Źródło dofinansowania:
A hypermedia platform combining an organisational framework and a methodology for the exploitation and promotion of tourism in Europe of 2000
Dane projektu
Całkowity koszt:EUR 5 000 000
Wkład UE:EUR 2 500 000
Kraj koordynujący:Greece
Topic(s):3.8 - Multimedia Systems Pilots
System finansowania:CSC - Cost-sharing contracts
The principal aim is to develop a business-centred approach for the production of multimedia applications promoting tourism. The key point is that the organisational structure will be planned in such a way as to enable the applications to be self-financing.
The overall objectives are:
To set up six pilot sites which will address the business and technical aspects of producing and distributing multimedia applications for the promotion of tourism.
To define an organisational and business methodology by which organisations in the tourism industry and other related organisations can establish a business association and provide the funds for the development of multimedia applications for tourism.
To validate the organisational and business methodology in each pilot site.
To organise the collection, preparation and commercial exploitation of a multimedia asset database in each pilot site.
To develop one multimedia application in each pilot site using the technological results of the project, and distribute them.
To a great extent the project will be based on existing commercial tools as well as existing R&D results. These will be used to develop the services required for the creation of multimedia databases for tourism and the development of applications.
The specific objectives within this general framework are:
To define a general-purpose model for multimedia applications concerned with the promotion of tourism for a given region.
To develop a User Interface Template Library (UITL) for tourism-related multimedia applications.
To develop an Asset Handling Facility (AHF) for managing assets involved in the production of tourism-related applications.
To experiment with tools translating multimedia applications created with commercial authoring tools into one or more of the HyTime, MHEG standards for multimedia interchange.
Work on the project will include definition of user and system requirements, involving a detailed marketing analysis for the role of multimedia in tourism and the definition of the services that the project will provide. This will provide the basis for the technical work in the project.
The technical development work will result in the UITL (User Interface Template Library ) for tourism applications and the AHF (Asset Handling Facility). The HYPERTOUR business methodology will be developed and used in the project itself, and may also be immediately exploited in other areas.
In the final phase of the project, the applications will be distributed and evaluated and the final exploitation plans will be developed.

Josh Gad hints at Penguin role
- Bang Showbiz
- 2 June 2017
Josh Gad has dropped a huge hint he could be set to join the DC Extended Universe as Batman's villainous foe the Penguin
Josh Gad has continued to drop huge hints he could be next in line to play the Penguin on the big screen in DC's 'Extended Universe'.
The 'Beauty and the Beast' actor sparked speculation he could be following in Danny DeVito's flippers by taking on the role of Batman's rival recently, when he shared a snap of the comic book villain on social media.
However, he later insisted he was just having some fun and "just putting things out there", rather than confirming any involvement in upcoming movie The Batman.
Despite playing it down, the star has now added more fuel to the fire - and this time he isn't being quite as cryptic with his latest tweet.
In a post on his social media, Gad can be seen at the DC offices in front of the comic book giant's logo with a copy of Batman Adventures Vol. 1 featuring Penguin on the cover.
Posing between DC Films President Geoff Johns and producer Jon Berg, he wrote: "Nothing to see here..."
It comes as the status of 'The Batman' continues to cause confusion for fans, with Ben Affleck reprising his role as the caped crusader.
Last month, it was reported that the actor is starting to get back in shape following claims there was a chance he could walk away from the project.
The Wrap's Umberto Gonzalez claimed on Heroic Insider: "Ben Affleck, Batman, I just got word that he just started training again for the role.
"You know how there was talk that he was gonna leave and he might leave the role? Nah, bro. He's working out. He's getting back in shape."

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Associate Business Degrees and other Business Degree topics.
Also called an occupational degree, "Applied Associate" degrees teach students a specific trade that will allow them to get a job immediately after graduation in their field of study. Although these programs generally prepare students for immediate work, the credits can usually still be transferred into a bachelor's degree program if the student wants to go on to higher study. Some possible career options with an Applied Associate degree include locksmithing, mechanical drafting, gardening and landscape design, graphic design, and commercial and industrial maintenance. Associate degrees in business or technology could also give current employees an advantage over their co-workers for promotions or other recognition.

Monitoring in the Cloud: Monitor Anything from Anywhere
San Jose, CA (PRWEB) October 28, 2009
Monitis, the leading provider of 100% Cloud-based application and IT infrastructure monitoring solutions, is one of only 6 companies selected by The 451 Group, a respected technology industry analyst firm, to present its vision: "Monitoring in the Cloud: Monitor Anything from Anywhere", to more than 300 top executives from leading US enterprises.
The 451 Group, with its focus on analyzing the business of enterprise IT innovation, covers hundreds of stealth and early-stage companies. The 451 Group's Innovators' Showcase, a regular part of the company's Client Conference since the inception of the event in 2006, showcases some of the best and brightest of these young companies.
Participants, who are nominated by 451 Group analysts, present their business plans and demos of their technologies to The 451 Group Client Conference attendees, who include venture capitalists, investment bankers, enterprise IT end users, software and hardware vendors and system integrators. Attendees are given 451 Group scrip to "invest" in the Innovators Showcase companies. The company that receives the most scrip is honored at the end of the conference.
"The cloud is the next frontier of IT operations management," said Dennis Callaghan, enterprise software analyst at The 451 Group. "With its ability to do performance monitoring, testing and configuration management in the Cloud, and of workloads running in the Cloud, at an affordable price, we believe Monitis is a company to watch in the nascent Cloud management space."
In addition to announcing its new vision and roadmap at the conference, Monitis plans a series of major new announcements during the week that will continue to cement its lead over conventional, software-based monitoring technologies.
According to Hovhannes Avoyan, Monitis' Founder and CEO "Our success to-date comes from the insight that launched the company in the first place. Back then, when a few of us experienced just too many late nights stuck in the office due to inefficient monitoring and management tools, we began to look around and see that many of our counterparts were exasperated by the same issues. The Cloud was offering a better way, and we jumped at the chance to change the game."
One of Monitis' early customers, Schoolwires will also be joining Monitis during its presentation to discuss the impact Monitis' Cloud-based solutions has had on his business. Schoolwires has been using Monitis' all-in-one suite of monitoring tools for more than 2 years. "Utilizing the Cloud, has led to major advances at Schoolwires!" stated Rick Stivers, Director of Network & IT Services at Schoolwires, Inc. "We've been able to gain efficiencies, while reducing costs and the net result is an increase in SLA. Monitis is a critical tool we utilize to quickly respond to downtime for the 1,200 plus web sites we manage."

Audience Reviews for Sweet Talker
A charming Australian comedy about a con-man (Bryan Brown) trying to scam an entire oceanside town, and falling in love with a resort owner (Karen Allen), who has a young son. It's innocent and fun. There's an excellent folkish soundtrack by Richard Thompson. It's a nice movie that very little people know about.

THE flat performance that resulted in Tividale's FA Vase exit has opened the door for the club's fringe players to stake a claim for a starting role, says manager Dave King.
Dale were dumped out of the competition when Brocton beat them 2-0 at the Beeches on Saturday.
It saw back-to-back cup exits following the previous weekend's battling loss to Rushden and Diamonds in the FA Cup.
King was disappointed by the performance and says the chance is there for others to push for a first team opportunity ahead of a busy week of West Midlands League action.
"I was very disappointed with the performance," said the boss. "We just didn't turn up on the day.
"I thought it was a danger because of the effort we put into the previous week's FA Cup game and I felt that everyone was a little flat beforehand. I warned the players about it as I could sense everything wasn't quite right but we still didn't have the right attitude and we forgot the basics all round.
"We now have three tough league games in the space of a week and it does mean that the door is open for others to show they deserve a start. Training will be interesting on Thursday.
"I'm a big believer that if you do well you will keep the shirt but now all those players that haven't been as involved as they'd have liked have the chance to force their way in."
Tivi will take on Stone Old Alleynians away this Saturday before going to Malvern this Wednesday and then hosting Wolverhampton Casuals the following Saturday.
They will be without Liam Williamson after the midfielder injured ankle ligaments against Brocton.

Here is a list of some games that we thought would add excitement to your 18th birthday party. We will be adding more to the list so feel free to come back anytime. If you have other games in mind that you want to share, please drop us a line at party(a)debutideas.com.
Pick 10 or more players for this game. Make them face the audience. Begin the game by asking one of the guest what they brought to your debut party. (it may or may not be true)
"For Jam's debut party, I brought a jar of peanut butter."
The next person must add another item to the one that the previous person brought.
"For Jam's debut party, I brought a jar of peanut butter and a can of paint." or "For Jam's debut party, I brought a jar of peanut butter and my favorite foaming facial wash."
This can go on until a person makes a mistake, then he/she is out of the game.
It can actually get pretty tricky as they think of complicated stuff to add to the list. The last man/woman standing is the winner.
This can also be good for small simple dinner parties with friends and family.
Make a list of things and facts about you, like things you did, stuff you own, things you dream about, plans you have, etc. Add things that you wish you did but didn't, wish you own but don't have, etc. Ask a guest one question and he will say whether it is fact or fiction.
For example: "I had a tattoo under my belly button which my dad grounded me for. Fact or fiction." When the guest guesses correctly, he/she wins a prize. If he/she guesses incorrectly, he/she gets a punishment.
A word/phrase guessing game is a cool game for a simple debut party such as a slumber party. A charade is always a fun game to have. The only difference is that everything is all about the debutante. For instance, the players will act on the debutante's favorite past time, favorite movies, novel, singer, artist, etc.
Being 18 and an adult also means being aware of some social issues and trying to help out in any way you can. This is a great way to start. Do a fund-raising activity by having an auction and the proceeds will go to your favorite charity. However, this is an auction like no other. Your guests are going to bid on the things they can't see. It will be concealed on a paper bag. It may be your well-loved stuffed toy or a precious bracelet or some left over dessert, an apple perhaps. Make a short and vague description about the thing being auctioned so they at least have an idea. I'm sure your friends and family will love to help you out on this endeavor.
The idea is to eat a grape in a bowl. Place a grape in a bowl and ask them to eat it. Players may think it is easy and harmless but just before they start, you fill the bowl with whipped cream to make it harder and more exciting. The one who finds the grape the fastest wins.
This is nice for slumber parties and other simple dinner parties with your friends and family. It is so fun to play and it will even be caught on camera. Imagine the anxiety of handling with care a digital camera as well as getting rid of it immediately. Pure heart pounding excitement!
You will need to pick at least 5 to 10 players for this. Players sit in a circle, preferrably in a carpeted floor or something padded (you'll see why later). The first player sets the timer on the camera, then points the camera at him or herself for a moment (camera should be kept at arm's length). He or she then passes it to the person on the left or right, who repeats the process until the timer goes off and the camera takes a picture. The person holding the camera when it goes off is punished and then gets eliminated.
Write some funny punishment beforehand and put it in a bowl after which losing players will get to pick their punishment from the bowl. For instance, drawing marks or lines on the loser's face using lipstick and then taking a picture of it. Each player will have a different punishment, all of them caught on cam. Then the game begins again.
With all the commotion of getting rid of the camera, it couldn't be helped that it might get dropped. I suggest to not use an expensive camera for this one. Don't you think the carpet plays a very important role here?
Print out lyrics of your favorite songs on a piece of paper and stick them on your guests' chairs. The host will then ask them to look under their chairs for this piece of paper. If they can guess the title of the song or the artist who sang it, they get a special prize. Of course, you should choose songs that are in keeping with your theme (if you have one). If you have a fairytale theme, choose songs from the Disney films' soundtracks. If you have a beach-themed party, go for songs by The Beach Boys, and so on.
Have 10 or less guests form a circle in the middle of the room. Pass out a doll (a Barbie doll would be great) and have them kiss the doll anywhere (lips, cheeks, arms, legs, etc.). After everyone has kissed the doll, announce to them that they will then kiss the one next to them the same way they kissed the doll. This will bring forth laughter among the audience and contestants especially if some of the contestants kissed the doll in unexpected places.
(Emailed in by debutante, Pauline Lacson. She says you can vary it to suit your theme. Thanks Pauline. )
You can have a large group of people play this, and have one game host. All the people walk around at random shaking different players hands. When the host yells out "The boat is sinking, get into a group of 4" (a different number is called every time) the players have to get into a group of 4 as quickly as possible. Those that do not have a group of 4 are eliminated from the game.
Male guests vie for the debutante's hand by answering questions with answers that must be the debutante's choice. Persons with wrong answers will be eliminated. The last man standing wins and will be the debutante's escort for the rest of the night. Now, this will be interesting if the debutante already has a boyfriend because she may be rooting for her boyfriend and would pattern her answers based on his. But then again, this game may be giving the debutante a chance to pick her escort from the bunch. To make this more accurate and fun in a match-making kind of way, the questions should be pre-answered by the debutante and will only be revealed after a question has been answered by all male participants.
This is best played with a ROCKER CHICK theme. Have your guests sing happy birthday in the rockest/punkest way they could. The one with the best and unique Happy Birthday song rendition wins.
If you have a GLAM theme, FASHIONISTA theme, a FASHION SHOW theme or a RUNWAY-INSPIRED theme, this game is best for you. You can ask participants to dance to a beat and when the music stops, they will make the fiercest pose they could do and freeze. The one who moves or poses badly gets eliminated.
This game is more appropriate for themes that are FASHION or RUNWAY related. Have at least five pairs of guests on stage. Ask them to dress up their partners using only a roll of tissue, afterwhich they will walk on the runway and pose their fiercest pose. The team with the most durable and prettiest design wins.
Photo: Select your cutest beauty shot without makeup. Print it in oslo paper (blow it up to size 8×11).
MakeUp: Eyeliner, lipstick, eye makeup and blush.
Have at least three to five FEMALE participants on the stage. Have them look at your photo for a good 30 seconds and another 30 seconds to look at their supplies: Eyeliner, lipstick, eye makeup and blush. Ask them to apply makeup on your photo. The trick is that they are going to do it blindfolded. The outcome I'm sure would be hilarious.
Another variation is getting three to five MALE participants instead. The big difference is that they are not blindfolded, but I'm positive the outcome would be equally hilarious.
I suggest you use cheap make up because I'm pretty sure they will be destroyed after the participants are done with it.
Makeup would stick best with an oslo paper rather than a photo paper, plus it is way cheaper to print it yourself than to have it blown up at a photo developing center.
This is a game good for debuts around the Christmas season. Have Christmas tree cutouts taped on the walls of your venue. Number each Christmas tree cutout and print questions related to Christmas. Upon entering the venue, provide your guests with pencil and paper and have them write down their answer to the numbered questions throughout the party. Ask them to place their answers in a fish bowl where you will pick five entries. The one among the five who got the most correct answers wins.
Sample Questions:
— On the fifth day of Christmas, what did "my true love give to me"? (five golden rings, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree.)
— Who was caught kissing Santa Claus? (Mommy)
— What did the Three Wise Men bring? (Gold, frankincense, and myrrh.)
For a GRECIAN-inspired debut party, print out a list of the Ancient Greek Gods and Goddesses and what they each ruled over and make it into a quiz. Ask guests to match up the god or goddess with their power.
For a Greek inspired debut party, gather 10 guests and divide them into two teams. Dress the first player as a Roman with toga (a simple white cloth tied on one shoulder will do), a headress of gold leaves, slippers and a baton. The player will then walk the course and will pass the baton to the next player who will do the same thing until the last player has run the course. The fastest of the two teams wins.
This can be substituted with DRESS UP A SPARTAN where players are going to be all males. Players are going to be dressed with white linen underpants, cape and spear. It is just so hilarious to see grown men in diapers this day and age.
Two teams have to make the longest line possible by taking off their own clothing and laying it out on the ground.
Print a blown-up picture of Santa Clause without a beard. Have your players blind-folded and pin Santa's beard on the blown-up picture. The one closest will win. This will be best played with a Christmas-inspired birthday party.
Buy ready-made clay or you can prepare a DIY clay beforehand:
Ingredients for clay:
4 cups flour
1 cup salt
1 3/4 cups water
food coloring (depending on what color motif you have)
You can make more if you plan on having different colors of clay.
Mix all ingredients and divide it into parts depending on how many players you have.
Ask them to make a snowman, angel, butterfly, flower (would also depend on your theme) in 1 minute and the clay that closely resembles it will be the winner. You can also give awards like Cutest Butterfly, Funniest Flower, etc. to add more fun into it.
This is nice for a PIRATES theme. Have a treasure chest up the stage. Fill it with your favorite things and add five or more items that will serve as decoy. Ask them:
"It has always been my favorite movie, go to treasure chest and give it to me." (your guests will go to the treasure chest and bring you your favorite film)
"It's my favorite color from the rest, bring that balloon to my treasure chest." (your guests will choose one color from a set of balloons and bring it to you)
It's sort of a "bring me" game but in this game, they have a lot of choices. only those people who know you well can answer them.
Prepare beforehand your venue by hiding things (a one-eyed eye patch, pirates hat, treasure map, mini treasure chest, etc). You can also hide loot bags of candies and chocolates. Ask the host at the start of the evening to announce that there are loot bags and other valuable things hidden around the venue. Prizes await those who find the treasures. Best played with a PIRATES THEME.

What is a Patio Heater
A lot of people love spending time outdoors and patio heaters is a great way to gather your friends around and stay up till late even in early spring. Without making fires, you'll extend the time outdoors and enjoy long talks and barbecue in a nicely warmed veranda. Once you buy a patio heater, you'll be able to spend more time on your patio all year round. When looking for a patio heater though you may encounter with a few choices. We'd like to help you out and highlight only the best patio heaters available on the market.
The owners of patios should also give justice to having outdoor & camping grills. They make up for a truly enjoyable day in a big do with delicious barbecue.
What Features to Compare
If you're looking for a patio heater, the first thing to consider is the fuel source they use. You can choose from among three available options - electric, propane and natural gas. Electric patio heaters are very easy to maintain, they don't produce any exhaust emissions, but require installation near the power outlet. The patio heaters that use natural gas or propane are more mobile in this sense and can be placed literally everywhere. However, you will surely need to have a few tanks to keep the fuel at hand. Some patio heaters radiate infrared rays, heating the objects around instead of the air so that they give up the heat and maintain the right temperature. There are halogen and quartz heating elements used in the heaters. Both generate the heat similar to the sun but without ultraviolet spectrum. They are not flawless, though, so you may need to decide which one is going to work better for you. Halogen light often affronts the eye while the quartz elements need replacement every 2-3 years.
You can place a patio heater anywhere. There are models that can be set right on the table. Others can be mounted to the wall or hung up to the ceiling (a good option for those who don't plan to move them quite often). There are also floor patio heaters available. These models are bulkier in size and designed for heating large areas.
You should also consider the output of the chosen patio heater. The higher this index is, the bigger area the heater will warm up. If you've made your mind to buy a propane or gas patio heater, consider BTUs per hour. The output of electric units is measured in Watts. A successful formula of choosing a good heater is 100 Watts per 1 square meter. For convenience of use, pay attention to such things like heat regimes, flexibility of fuel feed and fuel tank capacity.
One of the most important things to pay attention to is the safety of use. The obvious attribute of a decent patio heater is certification from testing associations such as UL and CSA. Electric patio heaters are recognized as safer in use as they don't require any additional combustion products. Gas and propane patio heaters should be equipped with a vent to stop the fuel in case the unit accidentally flips over. Large floor patio heaters on wheels are more convenient to move and place in different locations. Heaters with piezo ignition will dispose you of the need to use matches or lighter. There are no equal patio heaters and each model boasts its own peculiarities, so the choice is for you.

Just for Fun . . .
Now that summer has begun, here is a fun question posed to Talking Book and Braille Service staff: What is your favorite memory of a summer vacation?
When my sister and I were young, we went with my parents to a cabin at a lake. While they were unpacking, we two girls took the rowboat out to the middle of the lake and proceeded to "row"-in circles. The harder we tried to get back, the more we giggled, and the faster we spun. We finally had to be rescued by another boat. But for years we would both burst out laughing if anyone mentioned going out for a ride in a rowboat.-Cherie
Setting irrigation tubes on the farm with my dad.-Kay
Taking a long, beautiful drive down the Oregon coast all the way into northern California and then returning through central Oregon. We stopped to visit the Sea Lion Caves, the Redwoods, and Crater Lake. I remember gathering giant pinecones along the roadside in central Oregon.-Dave

Too Few Books, or Too Many?
Sometimes we set up borrowers so they will have three or so books on hand at any one time. This is done so new borrowers will not feel that they are receiving too many books at once. Once borrowers become accustomed to talking book service, they may wish to increase the number of books sent to them. Our Readers Advisors can easily vary the number of books checked out to you. Just let us know if you would like to have that number increased or decreased. Borrowers who order books by specific author, title or RC number should keep an adequate number of requests on file so they will never be short of books to read.

There's a good reason Jacob's Music plants its roots in Philadelphia, that's where the first American piano was built. We know that the piano was originally invented in Europe around 1700. Back then they were called "Pianoforte." America imported pianos from Europe, but soon discovered they didn't hold up well to the American climate. So in 1775, John Behrent of Philadelphia built the first American piano.
Imports were quite expensive, meaning only the wealthy could afford pianos back then. And as the U.S. industry grew, less instruments were being imported by the early 1800s. Around 1860, over 20,000 pianos a year were being made in America. From the turn of the century thru the mid 1920's production remained quite high.
This time period represents one of the greatest and most productive in the history of American piano making. If you recall, there were hundreds of makers in the United States during this time. All of those big, tall, heavy upright pianos came from this era. A lot of grands were made as well, but the uprights dominated. During the depression and WWII, production almost stopped entirely except for Steinway and Gulbransen.
By the late 1940's and early 50's production and sales were about 150,000 a year, to over 200,000 a year by the mid 1960's. The 70's reached around 300,000 a year to dropping off significantly during the 80's and 90's. Today, U.S. production is lower than it's been in over 200 years with merely 5,000 pianos a year.
That leaves us with roughly 15 million used pianos in America. Jacobs Music has seven locations to service and repair any of the millions that are within the Pennsylvania/New Jersey region. Call us today, we'd love to get our hands on your bit of history.

Welcome back to "Do It Together" financial planning. I just finished my two-part series on how to hire a nanny for your children and I thought it made sense to segue into another popular question I get from my clients: how can I pay for my children's education.
Did you know that the average student debt load in Canada is $27,000? As thoughts turn to back to school, paying for your child's education becomes top of mind and that often means a Registered Education Savings Plan or RESP. In this video, I'll tell you why an RESP can be a beneficial savings tool for your child's education and why you should open one as early as possible. Here's a hint, both levels of government contribute to it.
