There are established conventions within each genre, (such as crime, sci-fi, romance etc.) and it's well worth researching these genres to see what's expected. Once you know the rules, you can decide whether to follow them, or subvert them. In choosing a specific genre or style it's also worth considering how you think – do you prefer to follow rules, or experiment? Do you plan everything in advance, or are you spontaneous? Playing to your strengths instead of trying to make yourself 'fit' will help your writing be authentic. It might be that you prefer to let the character(s) guide your writing rather than choosing a specific genre. You could do some exercises to help you know them deeply – writing a biography which includes their personal possessions, problems and secrets, or experimenting with the 'voice' of your main character(s) and the rhythms of their language. Allow time for this experimentation – no writing is wasted. Once the character's voice is right, you can let them tell their story, in their own way.

Hiking in Florence Nature Preserve
Located between Chimney Rock and Gerton, NC, at the upper end of the Hickory Nut Gorge, the Florence Nature Preserve was finished being acquired by the Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy in 2001. With the help of Dr. Tom and Glenna Florence, over 600 acres of land were placed under protection from development.
The tract was not open to the public at first, and until recently, finding parking nearby was difficult. But now, a new parking area has been opened as the Upper Hickory Nut Gorge Trailhead, and an excellent connector trail takes visitors into the preserve. This has become a great hiking destination not too far from Asheville, NC - and a great free alternative to Chimney Rock Park for hiking in the Hickory Nut Gorge area.
Hiking Trails
A fairly extensive network of trails winds throughout the preserve. A couple of sections are tied together with gravel roads. None of the trails are officially named, but usually they are referred to by the color on the map (and on the blazes). However - there are duplicate colors, so I'll throw in additional info to identify trails when referring to them.
The yellow connector trail which connects the parking area to the blue trail is a brand-new, well-constructed alternative to the old, steep, eroded path which used to serve the same purpose. This trail is expertly routed past some neat features. Although steep near the bottom, it's moderate overall.
The blue trail climbs from the old parking area on Kelly Mountain Road, up alongside the main creek in the preserve, crossing it several times, before traversing the upper end of a ridge and going into the next creek valley. It ends at a gravel road.
The red trail climbs from Kelly Mountain Road up the ridge to the west of the blue trail, intersecting with it near the its top.
The white trail climbs from the blue trail, up over the ridge and intersecting the red trail, before descending into the next creek valley and ending on a gravel road.
There are three orange trails, two of which are spur trails. The one connecting to the Blue trail leads to Little Pisgah Point, a rock outcropping beneath the canopy (there are no views there). Another, which connects to the Red trail, leads to an overlook facing southwest with some nice views. The third connects two points on a gravel road with a ridge-top hike.
Two more yellow trails are in the preserve - one connects the white trail to the blue trail on an old road bed; the other leads down to a creek.
Across the street from the parking area is the Little Bearwallow trail, which currently leads to Little Bearwallow Falls and will eventually climb to the summit of Little Bearwallow and Bearwallow Mountains. For more information, see the Little Bearwallow Falls page on our WNC Waterfalls site
This is just an overview of the trails in the Preserve. For all the trail details, be sure to visit the Trails page, and there are also two maps available on our Maps page.
Here's a map of the Florence Preserve area. For more maps, including printed publications, see our Florence Preserve maps page.

The Quest for the Perfect Fudge, part 2
Following my request for fudge recipes, my wonderful cousin Kelli sent me a recipe to try. And try I did. The result? Yum!
This fudge was a winner! Creamy, no grainy texture at all and a beautiful colour too. And so easy to make! Bung everything in a bowl and zap it in the microwave, stirring now and then.
The recipe called for the fudge to be cooked on medium-high, but my microwave, like my stovetop, has one temperature - scalding hot. So, I adapted and only cooked it for one minute at a time. This seemed to work just fine. I also halved the recipe - with my track record of fudge-making, I didn't trust myself to make a full recipe and run the risk of ruining it all.
Even half a batch made enough for me and my Paul to take to work. An all-round great recipe!
At work, the general consensus was that it was smooth and creamy, and that you could taste the chocolate. I guess my only critisism was that it was quite hard to cut - it tended to crumble rather than cut smoothly. To be fair though, I didn't put it in the fridge as the recipe instructed.
Bring on part 3!!
Creamy Caramel Fudge
2x 395g cans sweetened condensed milk
2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
250g butter, chopped
1/3 cup liquid glucose
1/4 cup golden syrup
400g good-quality white chocolate, chopped
1. Grease a 3.5cm deep, 16.5cm x 26cm (base) slab pan. Line with baking paper, allowing a 2cm overhang at both long ends.
2. Place condensed milk, sugar, butter, glucose and golden syrup in a large (14-cup capacity), heatproof, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring with a balloon whisk every 2 minutes, or until mixture comes to the boil.
3. Microwave, uncovered, on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) for a further 5 to 6 minutes, stirring every minute with a wooden spoon, or until thick and golden.
4. Place bowl on a board. Stand for 2 minutes or until bubbles subside. Add white chocolate. Stir until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Pour hot fudge mixture into prepared pan. Smooth surface. Stand at room temperature for 3 hours. Refrigerate until firm. Lift out onto a board. Cut into squares.
• Note: You can make fudge ahead, wrap it in wax paper and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 month.

Florida is a popular spot for destination weddings with the romantic appeal of our beautiful beaches and the presence of a number of notable theme parks. I have officiated destination weddings for couples from other areas of the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, the Caribbean (though you would think they would have their own incredible beaches), Germany, Sweden, Portugal, Japan, and Ghana. I could start my own Wedding World Cup!
But what exactly is a "destination" wedding?
It simply means travel for everyone attending the ceremony and festivities. If the couple and their guests will be spending more than a few hours on the road, boarding a plane or train, or embarking on a ship to get to the wedding venue...it's a destination wedding. Consequently, the destination is usually a romantic or exotic local ~ somewhere couples would opt to go on holiday or for their honeymoon.
These do not tend to be huge affairs. The couple are not obligated to pay anyone's travel expenses, so guest lists for destination weddings are usually fairly modest. Not all of us can afford the trek from Leicester to Melbourne Beach for a friend's wedding. The destination weddings I have officiated have been attended by about four to twenty guests; on rare occasions perhaps ten or so more than that.
I recommend hiring a local wedding planner or package provider such as Florida Beachside Weddings when arranging for a destination wedding. The expertise, experience, and local knowledge will prove invaluable and can truly help avoid potential problems the day of the wedding.
The beach is not the only appeal Florida holds for destination weddings. We have gorgeous inland natural settings, popular theme parks, historic old homes, and elegant urban venues. In the Orlando area for example, I have officiated destination weddings at Walt Disney World, the Grand Bohemian (hotel), 310 Lakeside (restaurant), Casa Feliz (historic home), Paradise Cove, and the Kraft Azalea Gardens.
Florida is an excellent place to combine weddings, family reunions, and honeymoons!
There are several important things you should consider when planning a destination wedding in Florida: the weather, unique challenges associated with beach weddings (if appropriate), and the marriage license.
1. Weather
Some times of the year are simply more comfortable than others here. If you think an outdoor wedding in Toronto in February is a bad idea, than you have to accept an outdoor wedding in Miami in August is not terribly bright either. Miserable is miserable whether you're shivering or sweltering. Florida is a long narrow state with profoundly different weather in Jacksonville and Key West. Check out average temperatures and rain fall patterns in the area of the state you are interested in for the wedding.
2. Beaches
The beaches in Florida can be very different depending upon whether you are on the Atlantic Coast, the Gulf Coast, or in the Keys. If you have not been to your destination before, look up pictures and request information from the locals. You should familiarize yourself with sunrise/sunset times and tide schedules. Click here for more information about beach weddings on the Atlantic coast in Central Florida.
3. Marriage License
You can obtain a marriage license in any county in the state and it will be valid everywhere else in Florida. However, you must obtain a license in Florida if your ceremony is to be held here and you want it to result in a legal marriage. You can obtain the marriage license through the mail (a matter of a few times mailing paperwork back and forth), or go to a courthouse in person once you arrive. The three day waiting period is waived for out-of-state residents, so it will be valid the day you get it. All you need is photo i.d. (driver's license or passport for example) and an appropriate method of payment. You will have your license in hand in a matter of minutes once it is your turn at the counter. Your officiant should be able to help guide you through this process. Click here for more information about the Florida marriage license.

22 For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord. 23 For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of his body, the church. 24 As the church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything.25 For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her Ephesians 5:22-25
I can't tell you how many times I hear women saying "Does this mean that he is the boss of everything?" I have to stop and ask them, "Do you think that Jesus is the boss of your life or is He the lover of your soul?"
Why did you submit to Jesus when you became a Christian? Was it because you came to understand just how much He loves you? It is the same way with our husbands. God calls them to love us as Christ loves the church and gave His life for it.
If husbands are sacrificially loving their wives as they should, wives will naturally want to submit to them. If wives are submitting, husbands will be more inclined to continue to love them and sacrifice for them. If you have both the marriage will work great because you will be working as one in the Lord!!!
I hope that all of you have a safe and Simply Heavenly day! God bless you!!!

Breakthrough Dividend: Chapter 17 - Agriculture/Plants (I)
Joint U.S.-Israel agricultural research is a major success story, dating to 1909, when Aaron Aaronsohn, the discoverer of the wild ancestor of domestic wheat, established an extensive cooperative program between the new Israeli pioneers and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). It thus pre-dates the State of Israel by over 40 years. In the 1950's and 1960's, informal research ties blossomed into hundreds of joint U.S.-Israel agricultural research projects, supported by blocked foreign currency accounts made available for that purpose under U.S. Public Law 480. This evolved into the current U.S.-Israel Binational Agricultural Research and Development Fund (BARD, Chapter 9), founded in 1977. Since then, agricultural and scientific developments in both countries have produced increasingly sophisticated and efficient agricultural systems, with considerable economic impacts.
Israel began with an agriculture-dominated economy, largely based on citrus exports. Although over half of all Israeli exports (excluding diamonds) are now high-tech products, agriculture still accounts for over $2 billion a year in sales. Although Israel's citrus exports continue to decline, exports of some higher value-added crops -- such as early-season melons and flowers for the European market -- continue to increase. Non-citrus fruits, vegetables and flower sales are now around $500 million, and Israel is second only to Holland in European flower sales. Israeli agriculturists are known for their innovative use of agricultural biotechnology, trickle-drip irrigation and industrial waste water. Agricultural technology and agricultural chemicals, especially Dead Sea fertilizers, are other major exports.
Given the agricultural emphasis of the original pioneers and the struggling young state, the Israeli Government has long been supportive of agriculture and agricultural R&D. Today, the Ministry of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Organization (ARO) has extensive programs in all fields of modern agricultural research. Its 1,200 employees work in seven major research institutes at the Volcani Center in Bet Dagan (near Tel Aviv) and in eight smaller ARO experimental stations throughout the country. Center staff maintain close contact with both academia and farmers. Although Israel's health-related biotechnology is generally regarded as competitive, her agricultural biotechnology has often been praised as unique. Unfortunately, as in most countries, private funding for commercializing agricultural biotechnology has been particularly hard to come by (Chapter 3).
Despite the lack of large industrial startups (although there are several hybrid seed companies), Israel's R&D in agricultural biotechnology continues unabated. Of the 26 new commercial opportunities in "Agrotechnology" listed in MATIMOP's most recent catalog, half are from university commercialization units, and about 10 seem Plant-Biotechnology in the sense of this report's definition. Using our simplified classification in Chapter 2, these further subdivide into:
|Genetic Manipulation
|Plant Protection
|Propagation/Plant Tissue Culture
Similarly, YISSUM's most recent offering of 150 or so projects lists twelve in agricultural biotechnology, further divided into:
|Genetic Manipulation
|Plant Protection
|Propagation/Plant Tissue Culture
Although they fit both classifications, plant protection strategies based on gene-transfer (transgenic plants) have been listed under Genetic Manipulation rather than Plant Protection. The remaining plant protection projects mostly involve classical biological control (predators, parasites, fungi, etc.) and are not technically biotechnology by the narrowest definitions. Finally, we note that neither list currently includes examples of plant diagnostics (e.g., ELISA tests for viruses), although this was an early area of Israeli emphasis and success.
Genetic Manipulation
Genetics is big business. For example, just a 10 percent increase in wheat yields would mean $100 million in additional profits for Kansas or Montana, each of which produces over $1 billion of wheat a year. Even North Carolina, largely a tobacco and poultry state, produces $83 million worth. Such statistics are not lost on researchers and seed companies in Israel, which lies within wheat's (and oat's and barley's) center-of-origin and center-of-genetic-diversity. Not surprisingly, Israel has exceptionally large collections of wild wheats, barleys, oats and legumes. Many contain genes that can boost protein content, disease resistance, insect resistance, salinity tolerance and other traits. Weighing in at far less than a trillionth of an ounce, genes may become Israel's most precious export.
Let's follow this up with a brief example. The simplest wheat varieties have 7 pairs of chromosomes, durum or pasta-wheats have 14 pairs and commercial hybrid bread wheats have 21 pairs. This makes classical wheat breeding -- sexual crosses between superior cultivars in which all the genes are shuffled pretty much at random -- rather uncontrollable. Israeli scientists have developed special wheat varieties that differ by only a single chromosome, or even just part of a chromosome. This allows more specific, controlled changes, even when sexually mating parent varieties.
Using such "chromosome engineering" techniques, researchers at the Weizmann Institute have successfully transferred genes that make some Israeli wild wheats produce extra high protein grain to commercial wheats. In some cases the new wheat strains also produced extra high protein grain, up to a hefty 18 percent higher than normal, but with lower overall yields. Other strains, with less spectacular protein increases, were remarkably high-yielding. Such "engineering" boosted the overall yields of some pasta wheat strains by up to 40 percent, and produced 15 percent increases in bread wheats. Several newer strains have both higher protein and higher overall yields. Israeli seed companies have already moved to exploit these particular advances, but they are just a minor indication of Israel's genetic treasures. One aspect of Israel's uniqueness is a fortunate combination of valuable genetic resources and the advanced biotechnological R&D infrastructure needed to help exploit them. American seed companies might do well to follow the mutually-beneficial example of the USDA-Aharonson cooperation.
To provide an orderly sampling of more recent advances and near-term future opportunities in Israeli plant genetic manipulation, we must first divide the field into two distinct parts:
a) The use of genetic techniques (e.g., DNA markers, chromosome engineering) to guide or improve sexual breeding programs, and
b) The direct insertion of useful foreign genes into host plants, to create transgenic plants.
The Weizmann Institute high-protein wheat, just described, provides an example of the first. Another is a recent YISSUM technique that can unambiguously genetically identify ("DNA fingerprint") commercial cultivars of roses, carnations and gerbera to protect breeders from unauthorized infringement. This is far from an idle exercise. According to the USDA, the American wholesale rose market is worth $160 million a year ($141 million hybrid tea roses, $20 million long stem roses). Isozyme analysis and pigment analysis lack the required accuracy, since few genetic loci are involved, and the observed results can be affected by growth conditions. Hebrew University researchers have developed procedures to use mini- and micro-satellite sequences to simultaneously detect a large number of tandem repeat loci in the plant genome. Their cultivar identification methods have already been shown to be highly accurate in carnations (less than 2 in a million chance of error) and have several advantages over DNA-marker techniques (RFLP, RAPD).
Turning to gene-transfers and genetic engineering, YISSUM offers a whole series of new (proven or presumed) virus-resistant transgenic plants, usually tobacco, which have been fortified by the addition of protective foreign genes from one of three distinct sources:
Viral genes, both those coding for protein components of the viral coat (structural genes) and nonstructural genes;
Plant defensive genes, for example, the antiviral gp22 and gp35 genes previously identified by Hebrew University scientists in tobacco (IVR, AVF, Chapter 18); and
Foreign defensive genes, such as human alpha and beta interferon, with virus-fighting properties.
All of these have been cloned, and Hebrew University investigators have already produced three genetically-stable transgenic tobacco cultivars, demonstrably resistant to viruses, namely tobacco carrying:
N1a, a non-structural viral gene which confers resistance to potato virus Y (PVY);
The first 3' three cistrons of PVY, which also confer resistance to PVY; and
The coat protein gene of CMV, which confers resistance to CMV virus.
A N1a-carrying tomato plant and a CMV-satellite-carrying tobacco plant are already under test. Beta-interferon-carrying plants have already been produced and show signs of being resistant to tobacco mosaic virus. Attempts to produce gp22 and gp35 transgenic plants are next in line. Several transgenic plants (and the N1a gene) have been patented. The next steps are transferring the genes to other crop plants and testing and marketing them.
As an example of this approach, consider the tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), a single-stranded DNA virus (geminivirus) carried by the whitefly vector Bemisia tabaci, which debilitates tomato plants throughout the tropics and subtropics (it recently reached Southern Europe). ARO and HU scientists have cloned the gene coding for the protein (V1) that forms the outer coat (capsid) of the TYLCV virus. By adding appropriate control elements from the cauliflower mosaic virus, and splicing the combo into an Agrobacterium tumorfaciens vector (a DNA-transporting plasmid created from the disabled agent of the crown gall disease) the V1 gene was transferred to the genomes of tomato leaf cells growing in plant tissue culture. When these were regenerated into whole plants, the investigators found that three (of nine) transgenic tomato varieties were indeed resistant to TYLCV. Symptoms appeared one month later, and disappeared four months later. Subsequent exposures produced increasingly mild transient symptoms. Other TYLCV-related genes, such as an anti-sense C1 gene (a gene complementary to the C1 gene of TYLCV and, therefore, can bind and inactivate it), have also been transferred to tomato plants. Anti-C1 transgenic plants are also TYLCV resistant. These developments have attracted considerable scientific and commercial interest.
Another recent Israeli advance, this time involving Tel Aviv University (TAU) scientists, boosts the efficiency with which transgenic grain varieties can be produced. Plasmid vectors have been widely used to successfully introduce foreign genes into such non-grain crops as tobacco, tomato and cotton; however, it is precisely the grain crops -- wheat, rice, barley, and oats -- that feed the bulk of humankind, and many domestic animals. Unfortunately, standard vector techniques do not work very well in monocots, which include all grass-derived grains. Furthermore, most current genetic transfer techniques involve growing the recipient cells in plant tissue culture (PTC). Whole plants regenerated from these PTC cells often display considerable unwanted somaclonal genetic variation. In the TAU method, plasmid DNA is applied directly into the pollinated flowers of normal mature plants. The foreign DNA ends up in the host cell's nucleus, and are replicated as part of the cell's own library of DNA messages (genome). This efficient new method yields transformation frequencies of up to 6 percent, compared to 0.1-0.5 percent by other techniques (a 10-fold increase), without using PTC.
As a test of their methods, the TAU investigators have successfully introduced three bacterial genes into twelve commercial, high-yielding bread wheat varieties with diverse genetic backgrounds. The transformation conferred resistance to two antibiotics and the nonselective herbicide BASTA. The latter resistance gene already has considerable agricultural value. For example, transgenic wheat carrying a BASTA-resistance gene would remain intact, while nearby noxious weeds were destroyed by the herbicide. The introduced genes were stabilized after just a few generations of self-crossing, without the prolonged breeding and selecting required by other methods, and the transgenic wheat and plants preserved the maturity, stature, fertility and yield of their untransformed parents, even after several generations of self-crossing. The U.S. market for transgenic grain varieties should be major, especially since grains for human consumption are usually marketed as an indistinguishable part of a composite processed product (thus avoiding the transgenic tomato's high-visibility problems). The U.S. produces an incredible $7.71 billion of wheat a year.
Corn (maize) is another important monocot food crop benefiting from Israeli biotechnology. Some wild corn smuts harbor "offensive" virus particles whose double-stranded RNA directs the production of toxins that kill many other strains of corn smut (Ustilago) and related pests. So far, three types of toxin have been found, and the gene for one of them has already been cloned in yeasts and bacteria. More recently, this gene has been sequenced and used to create transgenic plants, which may eventually be able to produce the protective toxins themselves. Similar techniques should protect other grains. The size of the potential market can be judged from the fact that the U.S. produces $14 billion of corn (maize) annually. Corn is also North Carolina's most important feed grain; $194 million worth is produced each year.
Further back along YISSUM's R&D pipeline, Hebrew University researchers are focusing on a unique strain of Dunaliella, a single-cell green aquatic algae, which grows well over a wide range of salinities. The only difference between the algae grown in 0.1M (low molarity) and 3.0M (high molarity) salt solutions is the appearance of one extra polypeptide at high salt concentrations. Hebrew University investigators hope to clone the corresponding gene, and transfer it to non-salt-tolerant Dunaliella to see if it can improve their salt tolerance. If successful, tests in higher plants would follow. Although speculative at this stage, the potential impact seems worth the risk. Increased salinity is a major problem throughout modern irrigation-intensive agriculture.
Another recent YISSUM project at the beginning of the R&D pipeline involves the phytoene desaturase gene (pds), which controls the conversion of phytoene to beta-carotene, a yellow pigment converted to vitamin A when eaten. Transgenic plants bearing normal pds could produce fruits high in beta-carotene and with more marketable colors. Transgenic plants bearing specific pds mutants could be resistant to such "bleaching herbicides" as norflurazon and fluridone. This would not only provide a useful selectable genetic marker for research, but could also produce a variety of herbicide-resistant crops. So far, the researchers have located, cloned and sequenced the pds genes of Synechococcus PCC9742 and Synechocystis PCC6803, both cyanobacteria, Dunaliella and tomatoes. The corresponding amino acid sequences were highly conserved, even in the putative norflurazon-binding region, which bodes well for future progress.
Although Israel does not yet have companies specifically dedicated to the production of transgenic plants, it does have two established seed companies, and one smaller startup: Hazera, Zeraim Seed Growers, and A.B. Seed Co. (Appendix C). Israel, despite its small size, exports $40 million worth of seeds each year, and commands a significant share of the total world market for exported hybrid vegetable seeds.
Hazera, founded in 1939, nine years before the State, is easily Israel's largest seed company, with $35 million in annual sales. Hazera was founded by Israel's kibbutzim and moshavim to supply seeds of field and vegetable crops for local sale and planting. Now, over 80 percent of its vegetable seeds are exported, and considerable effort is expended on R&D and breeding to produce new hybrids and varieties. This includes the use of such biotechnologies as DNA-markers to guide sexual breeding programs and some research devoted to producing transgenic plants.
Zeraim ($8.8 million annual sales) was founded in 1952, A.B. Seed in 1991. Both also produce hybrid vegetable seeds. According to Ohad Zuckermann, Zeraim's Marketing Manager, Israeli companies are not producing transgenic seeds or other biotech products for market. Rather they use such biotech tools as RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism) and DNA repeats to identify or verify the presence of superior genetic traits, and to trace them in the course of complex conventional (sexual) breeding programs. Much of Zeraim's breeding work is done at the Hebrew University, Weizmann Institute or the ARO Volcani Center. They fund the breeding research in exchange for exclusive rights to market the new varieties, on which they also pay royalties.
Zeraim is still privately owned, somewhat a rarity, and would welcome appropriate joint ventures with U.S. firms. International interest in Israeli agricultural R&D, seeds and markets is high, according to Zuckermann, and the easiest and perhaps the only way to participate is through an Israeli company. Pioneer, one of the world's largest seed companies (particularly for corn), recognized this fact when it bought a small Israeli company, Holyland Seeds, to create an Israeli presence. R&D is critical for Israeli firms, because they depend on the profits reaped during the several-year lead time each new discovery yields. Then other, larger firms enter the same international market. One recent Israeli success was long shelf-life tomatoes.
North Carolina's Ciba Agricultural Biotechnology Company (RTP) was founded in 1983 by Ciba-Geigy, Ltd. (Switzerland) to develop improved crop plants through biotechnology research. PTC, cell culture, recombinant DNA techniques and other biotechnologies are widely used to produce transgenic plants with improved resistance, growth and productive capacity. In addition to its work on human and animal peptide therapeutics, Demeter Bio Technologies Ltd. (RTP) also does some R&D on transgenic plants. Maize Genetic Resources, founded in 1984, continues to develop and license hybrid stress-resistant corn varieties.

I'm delighted to have been asked to assist with a wedding of two great friends, looking after the decor side of things. It's a great project for me, and we're at the stage of deciding on all the different elements of decorations needed, moving into testing some things.
I'm going to be giving this Crepe and Watercolour flower tutorial a bash. How great would huge, huge paper flowers look, suspended up high, along with some of these giant balloons I found over at
Just found from my 'balloon research' how it's simple to make two toned balloons.
And if you were ever interested in how balloons are made, like I am. There you go!
The above is another installation, this time made with what looks like loadsa different shaped and sizes balloons. The artist is Piraja Maharaja and the blogger is Lauren Ann Lane. It's brill and has sparked off lots of ideas for balloon decor at this wedding.
What did we do before Pinterest ay? It's been so useful to collaborate with people over that in really defining what kind of decor is wanted at this wedding, testing our ideas and tutorials, pinning different colour palettes and texture inspiration. You can follow me on pinterest if you like. My favourite board is the 'Things I Could Be Doing Instead of Sitting Here' board. Never fails to inspire me to get off my bum and MAKE.
Did you know that my sister is a wedding photographer? She lives all the way in New Zealand but is looking for weddings to photograph here in England. She's such a pro at it, so is her man – they're a husband and wife photo team.
And finally, here's a blog I wrote two years back about another wedding I helped coordinate the decor for. This was for a lovely family who I used to nanny for.

Jobs boost as Greening approves £4.5 billion rail project
More than 900 jobs will be created and thousands more secured after transport secretary Justine Greening approved a £4.5 billion contract to supply Britain with the next generation of intercity trains.
In a major boost to the UK's manufacturing industry, 596 railway carriages will be built at a brand new train factory in the north east of England.
Agility Trains, a consortium made up of Hitachi and John Laing, has been awarded the contract to build and maintain the trains under the Intercity Express Programme (IEP), the project to replace Britain's Intercity 125 trains with new higher capacity modern trains.
Hitachi will assemble an intercity fleet of 92 complete trains at a new purpose-built factory in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, in the process creating 730 skilled jobs with a further 200 jobs during construction of the factory itself and securing thousands more in the UK supply chain.
The company will also locate its European rail research and development capabilities on the site which will further enhance the factory's ability to win rail contracts across Europe.
As well as building the new state-of-the-art assembly facility, Hitachi will construct maintenance depots in Bristol, Swansea, west London and Doncaster, and will upgrade existing maintenance depots throughout Britain.
The announcement comes on the eve of the Global Investment Conference in London where the Government will kick off the largest series of trade and investment events ever held in the UK involving more than 3,000 business leaders, policy-makers and ministers from around the world, and half the companies in the FTSE 100.
Greening said: "A new train factory is fantastic news for Britain and will be welcomed by everyone who wants to see a thriving UK manufacturing sector.
"It means 730 new skilled jobs created at the factory, 200 jobs in constructing the plant and thousands of jobs secured in the supply chain."

Florey Family Literacy Project
In partnership with teachers and volunteers we have begun an initiative, the Florey Family Literacy project, that aims to support families in literacy and language development from South Sudan who have fled their war torn country. One of our partner schools, St John the Apostle in Florey, ACT, together with St Francis Xavier High School, has a large population of African families who have taken refuge in Canberra. A very effective homework club is already operating which provides academic support to these students on a weekly basis. However, a need was identified for the parents of the children who attend homework club, who also require English language skills and basic numeracy.
So in response we are running a six week pilot program for 5 South Sudanese families directly after homework club with the following aims:
- To further develop the literacy skills of the school aged children as well as siblings through supportive, engaging literacy activities
- To assist parents with strategies to support their child's literacy and to develop and practice their own literacy and numeracy
- To connect parents to each other and to the school community
- To build cultural awareness in the wider community
We ran our first session on Monday 15th August which 3 families attended, the youngest child was 18 months – it's never too early to read to a child! As this was the first week, our aim was to get to know each other, break down the barriers and share a meal together. After a speaking and listening getting-to-know-you ice breaker, what fun we had learning a couple of Aussie bush dances with the wonderful Jan Simpson. Jan patiently delivered the instructions, demonstrated expertly and then led us through as we listened, laughed and danced together. The time flew by and we ended with a shared meal, rich conversations and the promise to meet again next week. Our thanks to the wonderful volunteers and teachers who are making this possible. Next week our theme is Literacy in the Kitchen – watch this space for an update!

Cartoon: Sochi Under High Security
© Chappatte in The International New York Times
BACKGROUNDAn unprecedented level of security has been implemented around the Russian city of Sochi, the site of the Olympic Games. Tens of thousands of police officers have been tasked to protect tourists, athletes and locals against possible threats. Up to the start of the Games, around 23 thousand personnel will carry out security measures, while around 40 thousand people will ensure safety during the Games. The country is to spend around $2 billion on security, according to reports in the Russian media. Read more >>
THE CARTOONThe cartoon by Chappatte from the International New York Times shows a checkpoint at the entrance to Sochi, where the Winter Olympics are being held. The road is blocked with a barrier and barbed wire. A machine-gun-toting Russian soldier in a fur hat is checking the papers of the athlete who is carrying the Olympic torch. The joke is that security is so tight that even the torch bearer is subjected to an identity check.

An investigation of family carers' needs following stroke survivors' discharge from acute hospital care in Australia
Publication Date
Publication Details
Perry, L. & Middleton, S. (2011). An investigation of family carers' needs following stroke survivors' discharge from acute hospital care in Australia. Disability and Rehabilitation,33(19-20), 1890-1900. Retrieved from https://doi.org/10.3109/09638288.2011.553702
Purpose. To expand understanding of informal stroke care-giving, validated tools previously used in Hong Kong and in the UK were used with Australian stroke carers to assess their stroke-related knowledge, perceived needs, satisfaction with services received and sense of burden after stroke patients' discharge home from acute hospital care.
Methods. Record audit and telephone interviews with two cohorts of 32 carers recruited in Sydney and Brisbane 1 and 3 months post-hospital discharge, using validated scales and open questions in May–July 2006.
Results. Female carers, those with prior care-giving responsibility, and those interviewed at three compared to one month post-discharge reported greatest needs and burden from the care-giving role; needs alone significantly predicted burden. Getting information and being prepared for life after discharge were central concerns. Some felt this was accomplished, but inadequate information giving and communication mismatches were apparent.
Conclusions. Service providers need to develop partnership working with stroke families and provide a network of services and inputs that cut across conventional boundaries between health and social care, public, private and voluntary organisations, with care plans that deliver what they delineate. Stroke care-givers have common issues across countries and healthcare systems; collaborative research-based service development is advocated.

Kuwait has denied there was any mediation for reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Deputy Foreign Minister Khalid Al Jarallah said that Kuwait was keen on a political settlement of the Yemeni crisis that would save lives and ensure the country's stability and integral unity. However, the political solution remained elusive.
"Kuwait hosted consultations for peace between the various Yemeni sides involved in the conflict for more than three months, but there was no agreement that could lead to a political solution to the crisis," Al Jarallah told the media in Kuwait.
Kuwait hosted the Yemen peace negotiations under the auspices of the United Nations from April 21 until August 6 as part of the international endeavours to put an end to the conflict in the war-torn country in the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula.
"There are efforts deployed by the United Nations Secretary General's Envoy Esmail Ould Shaikh Ahmad and other countries in the region, and we wish them all success. The Yemeni brothers are welcome to sign the final agreement they may reach through their current contacts and communications."
On Wednesday, Saudi Arabia's King Salman Bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud, in a speech to the Shura Council outlining the kingdom's policies, vowed to prevent other nations from interfering in neighbouring Yemen, where it has been fighting Iranian-backed rebels since March 2015.
The king said the security of neighbouring Yemen was the security of Saudi Arabia.
"We will not allow anyone to interfere in its domestic affairs or to seek to influence on the legitimacy there, or to turn it into a base or corridor for any country or party that targets the security or stability of Saudi Arabia or the region. We do look forward to the success of the United Nations endeavours to reach a political solution based on Security Council Resolution 2216," King Salman said.

In this teaching on forgiveness Bill Subritzky uses Scripture to point out what God says about forgiving others. It includes Matthew 6:14-16 which says, "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." It includes an excellent testimony of what happens when forgiveness is shown.

Shifters/mechs/brakes are fine, I don't buy Shimano cranks, overpriced for what they are, a few faulty units out of hundreds of thousands is meaningless however.
Right now 6800 isn't cheap enough from retailers compared to 8000, second hand/lightly used stuff is going for peanuts. You'd be beter off going for 5800/105 shifters, just as good as Ultegra and a lot cheaper, buy the rest individually because it's never cheaper buying as a groupset.

Once upon a time, like back in 2010 there used to be fireworks in St. Paul to celebrate the 4th of July. The pyrotechnics were launched over the river and people could see them from the parks and the nearby bridges.
That was before a ballpark was built in downtown St. Paul on the lowest piece of land in the city. Now the fireworks are hidden where few can see and enjoy them as they rise up out of the ballpark and are blocked by the downtown buildings.
Never have so few enjoyed public fireworks in St. Paul, and all because we have a downtown ballpark. The river has always been more beautiful and more accessible to more people than the little downtown ballpark and will be there long after the park is gone and replaced with something else.

David Hasselhoff of "Baywatch" and "Knight Rider" fame is spending the holiday season in England, where he is starring in a stage musical of "Peter Pan," playing Captain "Hoff the Hook."
And it isn't his first time, either. The 60-year-old American actor has performed the part in various UK productions since the 2010 holiday season. He began starring in "Peter Pan" the musical comedy, referred to locally as a pantomime, at the Manchester Opera House earlier this month and will end his run on January 13, according to the official website.
"I'm David Hasselhoff and I'm playing Hoff the Hook in 'Peter Pan,'" he says in a promotional video, which shows him pulling up in a car similar to the artificially intelligent 1982 Pontiac Trans Am known as KITT, his trusty partner from the 1980s series "Knight Rider."
In the clip, Hasselhoff wears a traditional Captain Hook costume, complete with a dark, long, curly wig and mustache and a silver hook on his left hand.
"With Tam Ryan as Smee and Amy Bird as Peter Pan, it's the most Hoff-tastic panto in town!" he says. "Don't hold off getting your tickets -- it's going to be Hoff-crazy, Hoff the charts, we're going to Hoff-inity and behond! So you'd better be quick, Hoff the mark. I'm Hoff now -- take KITT for some Hoff-roading. KITT, it's Hoff to Neverland!"
The actor had actually made his theatrical debut in a "Peter Pan" play. He was 7 at the time.
Hasselhoff made his Broadway debut in the musical "Jekyll and Hyde" in 2000 and played the dual title role of Dr. Henry Jekyll and his killer alter ego Mr. Edward Hyde in the production until 2001. In 2004, he made his debut in a musical in the West End, London's theatre district, playing Billy Flynn in "Chicago." He later starred for several months in a Las Vegas production of "The Producers," playing cross-dressing director Roger DeBris.
He left in May 2007, a year after undergoing a divorce. His rep said at the time it was due to the actor's work schedule -- he was also serving as a judge on "America's Got Talent."
That month, a video of Hasselhoff appearing shirtless and drunk and trying to eat a hamburger off the floor surfaced online and went viral. It was filmed by one of his two daughters, who pleads with him to stop drinking. The actor said in a statement after the clip was released that he had had a relapse after recovering from alcoholism.
Hasselhoff played hero Michael Knight on "Knight Rider" from 1982 to 1986. He went on to play lifeguard Mitch Buchanan on "Baywatch," from 1989 to 2000. Both shows made him an international star. He has also found success as a singer, namely in Germany. He remains one of the most popular celebrities.
Hasselhoff told BBC News in November that he wants to make an autobiographical musical.
"I always wanted to do 'Hasselhoff the Musical,' based on my life and 'Baywatch' and it looks like it's going to happen now, for the West End," he said. "'Baywatch the Musical' but really kind of like 'David Hasselhoff the Musical.' It's in development now. We're actually doing it from a timeline from where I start off young and get to be my age."
He added that he loves being in the United Kingdom, citing how the people "love to sing" and "love to play." He added that in Manchester, he has to wear a scarf and hat to conceal his face because he gets "mobbed" so often on the street.
Hasselhoff has been spending time in the country over the past year. His girlfriend, Hayley, is from Wales, located about 150 miles from Manchester.
Hasselhoff recently visited patients at the royal Manchester children's hospital and celebrated with them an "early merry Xmas," as seen in a photo he posted on Twitter.
"Loved this little girl ... she gave me ... a ribbon to wear on my finger which I did during the Panto !! God bless her!!" he Tweeted.
His "Baywatch" co-star, Pamela Anderson, has also appeared in pantomimes in the United Kingdom. She played the Genie in productions of "Aladdin" during the 2009 and 2010 holiday seasons even sang a cover of Christina Aguilera's "Genie In a Bottle" during her performances, as seen in a fan-made YouTube video.
"I thought it was great," the actress told BBC News in 2010, regarding her first pantomime experience. "People always say Americans don't get it, but I think it's terrific. I wish they did more theatre like this in America. I think people would love it."
Hasselhoff praised Anderson during his BBC News interview, calling her a "terrific actress." He said she also plans to star in another pantomime soon The Canadian bombshell actress' rep had no immediate comment.
Meanwhile, Anderson is set to compete in the British ice skating reality show "Dancing on Ice" during its seventh season, which premieres on January 6 (check out a promo video). She has competed twice on ABC's "Dancing With The Stars," most recently on its "All-Stars" season.
In addition to his stage performances in the United Kingdom and his music career, Hasselhoff has over the past few years appeared on shows such as "The Young and the Restless" and "Sons of Anarchy" and films such as "Piranha 3DD."
He was a judge on "America's Got Talent" between 2006 and 2009. In 2011, he assumed the same role on "Britain's Got Talent." In 2010, he and his two daughters starred in their own A&E reality show called "The Hasselhoffs." It was canceled after two episodes aired. Earlier this year, Hasselhoff was a contestant on "The Celebrity Apprentice" in Australia.
Check out a promotional video for the Manchester production of "Peter Pan," starring David Hasselhoff, a clip from one of his 2011 performances in the UK city of Bristol -- during which he sings Bette Midler's "Wind Beneath My Wings," a video of Pamela Anderson playing The Genie in Aladdin in 2010 and a promo for the seventh season of "Dancing on Ice."

The Samsung NU7300 is a decent 4k TV with deep blacks when viewed from directly in-front, but the image degrades when viewed at an angle. It lacks more advanced features found on higher-end TVs like local dimming and a wide color gamut, but still has a decent picture quality. The image degrades when viewed at an angle, so it isn't good for those who have wide seating. The TV has excellent low input lag which is great for gamers, but motion handling is only decent.
|Picture Quality
|Sound Quality
|Smart Features
The design of the Samsung NU7300 is very good. It is slightly curved and mainly made of plastic except for the borders that are metal. The stand is basic and supports the TV well, but the TV wobbles back and forth when moved. The are no gaps in the construction.
The back of the TV is plastic and has the distinct groves for guiding the cables. In this model, the cables cannot be hidden through the stand as in more premium models, as only a clip is provided to guide them along the legs.
The picture quality of the Samsung NU7300 is ok. The good contrast helps black look good in dark environments and the gray and black uniformity are good so there is very little clouding. The TV can get bright enough when displaying SDR content, but it isn't really enough to make HDR content stand out. The TV has a limited color gamut and hence color volume. This TV, as with most VA panels, is not well suited for a wide room as the viewing angles are not good so the image degrades when viewed at an angle.
The Samsung NU7300 has an excellent contrast ratio. It has no problem displaying deep blacks in a dark room. This is in the same ballpark as other Samsung TVs with VA panels, like the flat NU7100.
The Samsung UN55NU7300 has no local dimming option. The video is provided for reference only.
Good SDR peak brightness. In dark scenes with a small bright highlight, the TV reduces the overall brightness to produce deeper dark scenes and thus highlights don't look too bright. Brightness, however, does remain consistent in less dark scenes, and the TV is ok for most rooms. It is just slightly brighter than its flat counterpart the NU7100
The HDR peak brightness of the TV is mediocre. It is just slightly brighter than the flat NU7100 but this may be due to unit variance. Is far behind the brightness levels of the TCL R617. The TV does keep similar brightness levels regardless of the window sizes, but dark scene highlights are not boosted at all.
The Samsung NU7300 has good gray uniformity. On the 50% gray image, although there are uniformity issues, this is mostly darkening of the edges which doesn't create much dirty screen effect. These uniformity issues are not likely to cause dark spots on the screen, and this should make sports fans happy as no clouding will be visible in panning shots.
Similar and even better results are obtained at the 5% gray and this great.
The viewing angle is poor. Blacks fade as soon as you move from the center, colors start shifting at slightly larger angles. Finally, brightness is the last image quality that deteriorates as viewing angle increases.
This TV is not suitable for a wide viewing environment.
The out-of-the-box color accuracy is decent. We obtained the best results with the Movie Picture mode.
The white dE and the color dE are a bit off, but these differences are too small to bother most people. Gamma is higher than our target and thus some dark details is lost. The colors are a little warm and this explains the faint red and yellow image tint.
Update 04/12/2019: This TV was incorrectly measured with Brightness +2, instead of at 0. This only has a small impact on the results (slightly dimmer dark scenes below about 30 IRE) and so we don't plan to retest it.
The post calibration color accuracy is remarkable. We were able to significantly lower the white balance dE, the Gamma was right on the 2.2 target and color temperature was almost perfect.
As with most 2018 Samsung TVs, we were unable to completely fix the color dE, although it was brought down to levels where very few people might notice.
You can see our recommended settings here.
The color gamut is okay. The TV is only capable of covering about 3/4 of the DCI P3 space and only just a little more than half of the Rec. 2020 space.
The EOTF in Movie mode undershoots the target PQ curve significantly, so HDR content looks a little dimmer than normal. This is made less severe by setting Contrast Enhancer to Low, as shown in this plot.
The Game Mode EOTF photo shows that the same undershooting happens in this mode too. In the PC Mode EOTF, there is still some undershooting of the PQ curve, but it starts at higher input signal luminosity.
The Samsung NU7300 has a disappointing color volume as it fails to cover the color space in various luminosity levels. Colors look dim in darker scenes and the TV fails to display the creator intended content accurately. This is also due to the limited color gamut.
The gradient on the Samsung UN55NU7300 is good. Although there is small banding pretty much everywhere, no major banding can be observed in any color except in dark green
Setting Digital Clean View to 'auto' smooths the gradient but can't fix it and causes a lost of fine details.
The VA panel in our long-term test appears to be immune so we do expect not this TV to experience permanent image retention.
Motion handling is decent for this Samsung NU7300. The response time is good, so fast-paced content can be displayed without much blur. The backlight uses PWM flicker to dim, but at a frequency of 240Hz it isn't noticeable to most people are motion appears decently smooth. The TV can also flicker the backlight at 60Hz to clear up fast-paced motion.
The response time of the Samsung NU7300 is good. The pixels transition fast and should please sports viewers and gamers. At the same time, there is some blur in the image which is mainly caused by the backlight flickering. The response time is a bit faster than that of the flat NU7100, but this may come down to unit variance and these small response time differences are also visible in the moving logo photo.
Just like the NU7100, the NU7300 uses PWM at 240Hz to dim the backlight except when at 100%.
However, when the motion interpolation is enabled through the Auto Motion Plus option the flicker frequency of the backlight changes to 120Hz as shown in this plot.
This causes worse duplications in the motion as shown in this photo
The BFI is great.
In Game mode, 60Hz flicker is not possible, but the backlight flicker stays at 120Hz in Game mode as shown in this plot.
Motion Interpolations is decent. Some occasional artifacts can be seen, and the TV stops interpolating when there's too much motion.
Note: that when Auto Motion Plus is enabled the backlight flicker changes to 120Hz, as shown in this plot.
The Samsung NU7300 has a very good stutter results as there is practically no stutter on the 60fps signal, but there might be a slight stutter on 24p content. This, however, will not be noticeable by most people.
Just like the NU7100, the NU7300 cannot remove judder from 24fps content. This holds true no matter if the content is 60p/i or from native 24fps content played from a Blu-ray.
This isn't a big issue since most people are not very sensitive to judder and probably won't notice it.
This TV does not support VRR
The Samsung 55NU7300 has excellent input lag to please most competitive console gamers. It supports many input signals, including 4K @ 60Hz @ 4:4:4 + HDR. The TV can not pass DTS 5.1 audio to an external receiver. This, however, should not be much of a problem because most of the available content provide both DTS and Dolby Digital audio streams, allowing you to choose.
Excellent low input lag, better than last year's MU6300. When the input is set to PC, the input lag is automatically the lowest possible.
There is no improvement in input lag if you activate Game mode within PC mode. The NU7300 does not a have a Game Motion Plus like the higher end Samsungs.
The Samsung NU7300 is decent at resolution support. The following settings have to be implemented:
The TV includes inputs for a composite or component connection. As the connection is shared it is not possible to connect a component and composite connection at the same time.
The TV can passthrough Dolby Digital signal, but no DTS.
Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) is needed for ARC, which passes on HDMI 3 only.
The Samsung NU7300 has an average sound quality. This TV has above-average loudness, produces clear dialogs, and has some punch to its bass. However, it doesn't generate any thump and rumble in the sub-bass region, could produce pumping and compression under heavy loads, and doesn't have a room correction system. For a better sound, dedicated speakers or a soundbar is recommended.
The Samsung NU7300 has an average frequency response. LFE (low-frequency response) is at 80Hz, which is decent. This results in a sound that doesn't lacks thump and rumble, but have some punch to its bass. The response above the LFE point is decently balanced, which is important for producing clear and intelligible dialogs. However, this TV doesn't get very loud and produces some compression and pumping artifacts under max volume. It doesn't have a room correction system either, which is why it wasn't to remove the modes of our test room around 200Hz.
The smart features of the Samsung NU7300 are decent. The TV is equipped with a limited version of the latest Tizen Smart platform from Samsung, also called Smart Hub. As always it is easy to navigate, it is well-organized and provides access to the Samsung app store where a plethora of apps are available. The TV does not support voice control/assistance. The interface is choppy with minimal animations, but because of this menus, load faster than the NU8500. The menu ads can be annoying and you don't have to option of opting out.
The interface is characterized as good mainly due to the speed of menu loading. It feels choppy interface with minimal animations but is faster than the NU8500

Concord Police Department announces that residents will now have 24-hour access to a free kiosk at the Concord Police Station to safely dispose of their medical syringes, sharps and lancets.
In 2012, Massachusetts banned the disposal of needles, syringes and lancets in household trash. The new kiosk will give residents a convenient way to remove used and unwanted sharps from their homes. It was funded through a $1,500 grant from Community Health Network Area (CHNA) 15 and the Town of Concord's Health Department.
"Residents and Officers identified the need to have better access to safe disposal of medical items," Chief O'Connor said. "We are grateful to CHNA15 and the Health Department for their partnership and steadfast commitment to improving safety in our community."
Community members who utilize the kiosk are asked to follow several safety regulations:
§ All sharps MUST be disposed of in a sharps container or puncture-resistant container like a one gallon bleach bottle or a one-pound sealed, taped coffee can.
§ DO NOT put loose needles in the kiosk.
§ DO NOT use a glass container or a bag of any type.
§ DO NOT leave a container outside of the kiosk.
§ Always ask for assistance if kiosk is full.
The Town of Concord conducts twice yearly (spring and fall) events where residents can bring home sharps collection containers for disposal. However, the Concord Council on Aging expressed a need for more options for residents to dispose of these items, especially for those with medical conditions that require regular use of syringes.
"The Concord Board of Health appreciates the Police Department's installation of the medical sharps collection kiosk," said Public Health Director Susan Rask. "Installation of the kiosk makes sharps disposal available for our residents on an ongoing basis and is an important community health effort that ensures residents can dispose of their medical sharps in a safe manner."
Those who would like to dispose of their medical syringes, sharps and lancets, can visit the Concord Police Station, 219 Walden St., 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
CHNA15 is a partnership between the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, hospitals, service agencies, schools, businesses, boards of health, nonprofit organizations and citizens working together to improve the health of member communities. The organization provides assessment planning to inform, program and fund community-based prevention and health promotion initiatives.

Holiday Fashion: Work Parties et al.
I can't believe that Christmas is only about a week away. This past weekend, my husband and I attended his company work party in Chicago. I wanted to look put together, but not too flashy, so I opted for my skinny jeans and an indigo Peplum top that went perfectly with my Guess booties.
The party was really fun, considering I didn't really know anyone and I wasn't sure what to expect. Thankfully I met Andy there after the speeches were all done, which meant that his co-workers were already nice and tipsy, paving the way for a fun(ny) evening.
This week, I am busy finishing up some work for a client, then pushing to get the house prepared for the holidays and starting some new DIYs. I have a set of stools that I am refinishing, and I am super excited to show you the finished results.
Keep on trucking everybody, just a few more days before we all get some holiday respite!

["Broken water main fixed, Monroe schools to reopen," online, Oct. 1]. If taxpayers and ratepayers want to avoid unaffordable utility bills and huge liabilities in the future, they must insist now on more competition in the way public officials manage the water systems. According to a study released by the National Taxpayers Union, roughly half a trillion dollars in government expenditures could be saved over the next four decades by adopting techniques such as open procurement for pipe materials and better asset management. The Mayors Water Council of the U.S. Conference of Mayors has also voiced support for such processes. It's time for community leaders here and across the nation to be more proactive in embracing fiscally responsible approaches to water policy.

Nate Cohn writes at The New Republic that "the old culture war calculus has flipped from favoring Republicans to Democrats." And Michael Sean Winters responds at National Catholic Reporter,
The historic vocation of the Democratic Party is to fight for the interests of the working class. If it abandons that vocation to become a policy defined around preferences in the culture wars, I, for one, will no longer be interested in the Democratic Party.
Here's the dynamic I see Cohn describing: our culture has now reached a point of critical mass when it comes to issues like same-sex marriage (and about issues of women's rights: witness the strong and successful pushback against Susan B. Komen's attempt to slap Planned Parenthood around for partisan political reasons). For a number of decades now, the Republican party has made political hay out of ginning up white working-class fears about a rapidly changing society in which the gays are coming out of the closet and traditional gender roles are being renegotiated--a point Joan Walsh makes superbly well in her comments about the Akin situation at Salon today.
But the GOP has come to a point of diminishing returns with its gay-bashing and its war on women. Any fool could see this coming, with the demographic shifts that have occurred in American society in recent years, in which the white men who have been given more or less exclusive power in the Republican party are now having a good run for their money as more and more people of color, more and more Hispanics, and more and more women come along to climb to positions of power. There's also the demographic shift represented by younger voters to think about.
Rather than extend its conversation about power to include all those it has disempowered for decades now, the GOP has, instead, doubled down on its exclusionary rhetoric and on its defense of white (heterosexual) male privilege and white (heterosexual) male entitlement. And now the party is, to borrow Walsh's terminology, reaping what it has long sown with its nasty, destructive culture-war game-playing.
This leaves "Democratic" Catholic centrists like Michael Sean Winters high and dry. Their power has been situated quite precisely in presenting themselves as "liberals" during a period in which the Republican party has dominated national politics--in presenting themselves as "liberals" so that they could keep authentic liberals out of the Catholic and Democratic conversations, while preaching to the GOP about its failure to listen carefully to Catholic social teaching vis-a-vis workers' rights.
As I've said repeatedly here, pseudo-liberal Catholic centrists actually thrive when the right is in power, since their power base presupposes the broker's position that permits them to act as "liberals" while endorsing much that the religious and political right promotes in the name of Christian "family values." Catholic centrists are singularly unprepared for the shift described by Nate Cohn, since they have been just as blind to the impending cultural shift Cohn describes as has the GOP for which they've secretly shilled lo these many years now. They've been just as unprepared as has the GOP for the development of a critical mass in American culture that portends to reverse the serious damage the Republican party has done to LGBT people and women for years now, while claiming to defend "values."
Damage that has been inflicted with nary a peep from those same Catholic centrists who say they're defending human rights (narrowly defined, it goes without saying, as workers' rights or the rights of immigrants and the unborn) . . . . As if it's possible to maintain credibility as you pretend that some groups of human beings just aren't there, or aren't fully human, while you insist that human rights have to be front and center in the ethical considerations of a political party . . . .
As Timothy Tyson notes in Blood Done Sign My Name, the Republican party adroitly played to the subliminal racial fears of both Southern whites and working class voters in the North, many of them Catholic, in the period from Nixon forward to build its power base at the end of the 20th century. The mass exodus of white Democrats to the Republican party in this period was paralleled by a mass exodus of white working-class Democrats outside the South, a large percentage of them Catholic, to the Republican party. The latter exodus was spurred, however, more by rhetoric about "family values" and moral decline than about race, but as Tyson notes (and he's correct) that rhetoric about "values" and moral decay was really at its very core all about playing on fears among white working-class voters re: the perplexing racial (and, later, gender) shifts in American society from the middle of the 20th century forward.
And so if Michael Sean Winters now leaves the Democratic party, he'll be making--finally--a decision that many Catholic voters with whom he has always found himself comfortably aligned have made a long time since. And perhaps he'll find some peace in being able to live openly as the theologically and socially conservative thinker he actually is--very conservative to the point of being reactionary. Perhaps he'll find some peace in no longer having to play that dishonest mediating role of the faux-liberal Catholic centrist while promoting a reactionary agenda, a role that surely must wear on the souls of people who keep talking on and on about the human rights of selected groups of fellow human beings and fellow Catholics . . .
while pretending that certain other groups of fellow human beings and fellow Catholics simply aren't there and aren't worthy of consideration or of any hearing at all.

It is the most advanced cavitation device for fat reduction, cellulite removal and body contouring, developed both for home use and beauty salons with low-budgets.
The metal contacting conductive tip can send out radio frequency of 6 million vibration and 0.5 million high-frequency vibration per second, ensures the RF energy heating the collagen of hypodermal layer equably. The collagen will be shrunk quickly after absorbed the energy. The oscillating fields produce distortion of molecules, rotation of dipoles and vibration of ions. The movement of the molecules and ions generates heat within the tissues. The heat caused by interaction of RF (Radio Frequency) energy and dermal resistance can reach dermal layer to heat up and stimulate the collagen fibers, making them regenerate and re-arrange, which can help the skin in better condition. The fibre-cells will produce the new collagen after stimulated which would smooth the wrinkle and tighten the skin tissue. The skin will get back to healthy status.
Red LED Light Therapy With wavelength of 620nm (±10nm), Red LED acts on wrinkles and aging skin. Red LED phototherapy stimulates the production of collagen while slowing down the collagen breakdown. Collagen is responsible for the elasticity and firmness of your skin, resulting in reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. It provides firmness and suppleness to the skin, and improves healing of the damaged skin cells.

I would like to used the nexel function "MAX" over all members of one entity.
For this purpose, the single rule option is the correct one, and according to the E-learning tutorial XP14 "should apply for every single row".
In the tutorial, all the dataviews used have always exactly 1 entity set by row. Unfortunately there is no example with more than 1 entity by row.
I have 1 dataview with 3 entities by row (child, father, grandfather from the same tree)
I try to use the function:
=MAX( [@j;*;*;Range.Whole] )
and I would expect to see the value 499 everywhere. Instead of this, the nexel function is applied for the most detailed entity within the range of the single parent member of the parent entity, so it displays 399 where i expect 499. The block j of my screenshot is abs Δ.
I also try with the formula:
=MAX( [@j;*;*;Range.Vertical] )
but it has the same result as Whole.
Does nexel single rule formula work also for a dataview having 2 entities by row ? 3 entities by row ?
Did i forgot to define something to get my expected result ?
Dear Interested Typ,
Nexel Formulas, like Ranking Functions have been thought and are basically applicable to the lowest level of the Axes Dimensions. You can refer to the Item Code Range =MAX( [@a;Range(PC01;*:PC05;*)]), ('PC01' and 'PC05' are the Codes of the first and the last Item , displayed in the report), to achieve your purpose, but only within a static scenario where no selections impact the visibility of the items by row, that would limit the usability of the report a lot.
I would suggest to separately calculate the Max among the Items upon certain conditions and save it in an info-cube.
Hi , I want to use range , date ,year function in nexel, but when I am trying ,I am getting no result , Am I doing something wrong , please suggest me.Here is the function that I am using
=RANK[@a;Range(*;*:Last Cell;*)] , Is my syntax is correct
