First off I need to admit to a mistake regarding the Australian and English versions of the Universal Carrier. The Australian model differed a little more than I first thought. This has been brought to light by further research. Basically, the bow plates on the Australian version are much simplified compared to the English version. I am therefore modelling the English version,(but with Aussie wheels) and I am also modelling the Australian version. Anyway, on to the next part of the build - "Making Tracks"
Once the wheels, drive sprockets, suspension arms and return roller have been affixed to the hull sides, a strip of .10 thou plastic sheet is attached to the roller midway at the top and allowed to dry. The mini clamps are used to set the track sag, which was a very prominent feature on the real vehicles. Once the strip has dried, it is further glued to the top of the drive sprocket and return roller. The strip is then worked around the wheels, gluing and clamping as you go. The join is at the bottom of one of the road wheels.
Once the .10 thou strip has had time to dry off completely, the track's treads are applied. In this instance .20 x .60 thou strip was cut to the required length on the NWSL Chopper. These strips were then applied, 5 at a time to each track section. I would apply 5 to one side and then 5 to the other. This helps me to keep the spacing correct. After the treads have been applied to the .10 thou, it stiffens up quite well. The treads are simplifications of the real ones but still give the right impression.
After the treads have been applied to the tracks, the "running boards" can be attached. Just prior to this the mudguard sides (back and front) are attached. The running boards were cut from .30 thou sheet. It may be noticed from the above photos that the suspension springs are missing from the suspension units. They will be added later in the build as they are a little fiddly and could be knocked off during the construction phase.
Once the running boards have dried, the little rear mudguards and the curved front ones can be added. The rear ones are fairly straight forward, but the front ones require a little more effort. Firstly, .30 strip is formed around a suitable former (pen, modelling knife handle, etc) until the required curve is obtained. This then curved just that little bit further to reduce the "spring" of plastic. After cutting to the required length, it is attached with plastic cement along most of its length, leaving the curved part unglued. This is left to dry thoroughly. (at least three to four hours,preferably overnight). The curved section is then attached to the mudguard side with superglue,holding it in place until set. Any excess is then trimmed off and the whole running board/mudguard assembly given a light sand.

Oscar and the Snail
So this is Oscar and the Snail: A Book About Things We Use by Geoff Waring (Walker, 2008) … it's not? Ah, but inside, Snail tells Oscar the curious kitten how things are made. "Logs of wood are broken into tiny bits, then squashed and rolled flat again and again to make paper." Paper that can be used to print a book like Oscar and the Frog: A Book About Growing by Geoff Waring (Walker, 2006). Thanks to Juliette for making the link.

The Baby's Catalogue
An Ahlberg classic now, also submitted by Juliette: The Baby's Catalogue by Janet & Allan Ahlberg (Kestrel, 1982). One of its pages is of course devoted to 'Books', some of which are identifiable: 'Motor Engines', a parenting guide by (the real) Dr Jolly, and as you see below, The Baby's Catalogue.

The Pencil
This is the first of several Pictured Books spotted by eagle-eyed Juliette. The Pencil by Allan Ahlberg, illustrated by Bruce Ingman (Walker, 2008) is, of course, the tale of a pencil which draws an entire world – including an eraser …
At one point there is a picnic. 'A whole column of ants ("What're our names?" said the ants) came marching across the tablecloth.' Everything needs to be named, so the individually-drawn ants are Alice, Alvie, Abraham, Amy, Araminta, Alberic, Algernon, Anastasia, Ada, Allan … and Allan is the author, carrying a miniature copy of The Pencil.
There is a wrinkle: as you can see, the cover at the top shows (from left to right) a cat, a bike, and a pencil; but the book which the ant is holding shows a bike, a cat, and a pencil. There are editions of The Pencil with covers closer to the miniature in this respect, but why a publisher would go to the effort of commissioning a new illustration for such a subtle difference is a mystery.

Back To The Real World
Reflections On A Course In Miracles
I have lately been recalling a time in my life when everything in the world felt unreal to me. The sensation took hold in my early teens, held almost complete sway over my consciousness by age twenty, then gradually declined over the following five years. The feeling was at once so subtle and pervasive that it seemed impossible to discuss with anyone; to do so would have meant a public questioning of my own sanity (about which I was then far more defensive than I am today). So the sensation that nothing was real became a secret, as private as it was powerful.

Earlier this year, Trump promised to donate his salary to various projects and organizations.
He previously presented a check to Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke in April, directing that the funds be used by the National Park Service.
Zinke said he would be using the funds to renovate Maryland's Antietam National Battlefield, a few miles outside Harper's Ferry, W.V.
Antietam, known in the South as the Battle of Sharpsburg, took place in September 1862 and was the bloodiest single day in the entire war.

I ordered my dress 5 months ago and have since lost 5lbs (I'm 5'2″) so that's a full dress size. Not to mention that I think they measured me wrong in the firs place because they did not put the measuring tape around my waist but rather just below my underbust-which is an inch or so bigger than my waist.
Im terrified at having it altered because it has lace piping and am worried about the cost!
So bees, if you don't mind sharing how much did it cost to have your dress taken in a dress size (all measurements, bus waist and hips) and were you happy with the end results?
Here's my dress

Pixi Glow Tonic
After many disappointing hyped up product buy's over the years, there's a lot of products I refused to spend my money on and the Pixi Glow Tonic is one of them. Until recently. Normally with cult beauty products, the hype lasts for a few months then you never hear from it again but the Glow Tonic is still going strong. When my favourite liquid exfoliator was finished, I decided to give in and see what all the fuss is about.
I'm a big fan of exfoliating toners and I can really see a difference on my skin since using them, but not every brand works for me. Alpha H Liquid Gold did nothing for me but La Roche-Posay's Effaclar Micro-Exfoliant was wonderful so I wanted to find something like the latter.. but more effective.
The Pixi Glow Tonic basically helps to exfoliate the skin gently, removing dead skin cells to reveal fresh, healthy skin underneath. It exfoliates with chemicals rather than those physical beads that can cause more damage than good. For me, I wanted it to get rid of the rough dry patches on my skin so my foundation could sit better and also if it managed to reduce some acne scarring in the process..I'd be happy with that too!
I'm glad to say the hype is real and this product really does work. I go through phases with my skin where it's behaving itself to full blown breakouts and since using this stuff.. my skin has never looked better, for a much longer period of time. I'd easily say my skin hasn't looked this good in 10 years and I definitely think the Pixi Glow Tonic has a part to play in that. As for my acne scarring, it's still there but these things take time but I have noticed a small difference in the darkness of some areas so it's definitely helping.
If you think your skin is looking a little dull, in need of a boost then I'd definitely recommend picking this up. Give into the hype!
Where to buy: Pixi Glow Tonic - Cult Beauty (£18.00)

How can we take a good shower? What is the best shower system? Do you want to know all that? If your answer is yes then this is for you. Today in this article we are gonna talk about the way of taking the best shower and its system reviews? Lets started...
Little things in life matter a lot. In fact, you will be surprised how a slight change in any certain thing can affect all of your moods. We take showers every day at least once and often more than once. If the 15-20 minutes spent in taking a shower is as relaxing as possible, can you imagine how much it will make our attitude more positive and us jollier?
When the water pressure or temperature does not fulfill our expectations, we do not get the comfort or refreshment we were seeking. Therefore, we cannot control the most basic task of life so how can we control the big tasks? In order to make your shower the only positive thing on a bad day for you, we are here to introduce you to the best shower system features with 5 of the best shower systems reviews.
the 5 best shower systems reviews buying guide
Here's a buying guide that will help you narrow down your choices to the best shower systems:
- Showerhead
The most important component of a shower system is definitely the shower head. Apart from checking the quality of the materials used, you should find out which style of shower head you prefer. Would you like a showerhead that's fixed and mounted on the wall or would you like a more flexible handheld shower? If it's a fixed showerhead you prefer, make sure the height its installed in is convenient for everyone.
In contrast, if you want a handheld shower, the length of the hose, the flexibility are important factors to consider. However, a handheld shower is a much better option as it is suitable for people with physical disabilities and also very handy when cleaning anything thoroughly.
- Water Pressure and Flow
If you want to reduce your water bill and increase environment conservation, you can go for water-saving showerheads that have relatively low water flow to save water. Even if you don't check the water flow of the shower head as in case of shortcomings, you will feel dissatisfied with low water flow during a shower.
- Temperature and Flow Control Handles or Valves
Whether you want a single handled shower system or dual handled shower system is completely up to you. With the dual handling systems, you can control flow and temperature through separate valves. In case of a single handled shower system, a thermostatic temperature control system will go a long way.
- Ease of Installation
You definitely do not want to buy a shower system that does not even meet your plumbing requirements. Therefore, firstly look for systems that are compatible with your plumbing style. Then, choose the ones that are very easy to install. Check out the drains as well.
Best shower system reviews in 2019

Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) is just what it sounds like. Something to complement the AED regimen you're already on. And perhaps take an extra step (with your doctor's go-ahead) to alleviate seizures.
There are lots of alternatives, so I'll touch on the most popular ones here. (Somehow, I don't think you're going to be turning to stones or amulets for relief!)
Interestingly, The Epilepsy Foundation of Arizona did a survey and it revealed that half of the people with epilepsy had tried CAM at some time for seizure control. Almost half used them for other reasons.
Overall, people found CAM to be generally beneficial to their health. The most helpful were stress reduction, yoga, and botanicals (herbs). Nonetheless, half of the patients taking botanicals had an increase in their seizures.
One third of the patients felt that CAM helped treat their epilepsy better than the AED. However, very few patients considered stopping the AED. Almost all of the patients stated they would feel comfortable informing their physician about CAM use.
"Modern medical therapy often fails, yet modern medical therapy exists because complementary and alternative medicine often fails. Both sides have to recognize each other." Dr. Orrin Devinsky
Many studies have found that greater than 50% of people experienced declines in seizure frequency just by using relaxation techniques!
Here are a few suggestions…

Myasthenia Gravis
Myasthenia Gravis Symptoms
It is characterized by the weakness and rapid fatigue of any of the skeletal muscle under your voluntary control. The name myasthenia gravis is of Latin and Greek origin, which means, "grave muscle weakness." In spite of the meaning of the name, people with myasthenia gravis have a normal life expectancy. It is caused by a breakdown in the transmission of nerves and muscles. There is no cure as of today, but there are treatments to help relieve signs and symptoms. It is not contagious, but one of the causes of this disorder is genetic. Patients with family members suffering from rheumatoid arthritis or lupus are at higher risk of myasthenia gravis.
Myasthenia gravis symptoms tend to progress over time if left untreated. The main symptoms of myasthenia gravis are the weakness in the voluntary skeletal muscle. It mainly affects muscles that control eyelid movement, facial expression, chewing and swallowing. Weakness gets worse with more activity but improves with rest. Other common symptoms of myasthenia gravis are drooping eyelids, facial paralysis, problems walking up stairs, trouble talking, double vision, and a hoarse voice.
Mostly women are affected and diagnosed with this disorder as young adults, and men when they are over the age of 60. There is no preventing this disease, but avoiding few triggers like fever, emotional stress, overexertion, an illness, medications etc., will prevent aggravation of the disease. Symptoms of myasthenia gravis usually progress to maximum severity in three years, either stabilizing or improving after that.
At Integrated Neurology Services, we provide extensive treatment options to help patients with Myasthenia gravis get the care they need and deserve. If you are in the Northern Virginia area, call us today to schedule an appointment. Help is only a phone call or click away.

The art of extra-illustration is one of those little side channels of scholarship which the Folger Shakespeare Library pursues without apology. Shakespeare is both a huge subject, as large as the Elizabethan world, which was large indeed, and yet a specialty too. Mounting several exhibitions on subjects related to Shakespeare or his time can't be easy. But curiosity of the Folger's curators and guest curators is inexhaustible, and some of their best exhibits are also some of their most arcane.
The current exhibition on extra-illustration—the passion for inserting images and other visual material into old books—covers a small but fascinating chapter in the history of bibliophilia and Shakespeare scholarship. That's why I enjoyed it so much.
It also fit well with another exhibition, about handcrafted letters sent to Radio Azadi in Afghanistan. This may be even more arcane. But when I visited Afghanistan in 2004, I wrote about a small radio station that also received some of these astonishing homemade works of art. I still have a letter, the back of which is covered in perfectly aligned plastic flowers and the front of which has been carefully decorated along its borders with golden stickers. For the authors of these letters, it's part of the appeal as they reach out with a tangible written letter to touch the voices that cut through the electronic ether and lessen the isolation of life in a poor and scattered country.
I wrote about both of these exhibitions in today's The Washington Post.

Well, it's National Hug a Newsman Day today, and we've got to tell you, we're a little uncomfortable with this. We've seen the way you look at us, with your lustful eyes, always licking your lips, which for some reason always leaves some kind of gelatinous white residue around your mouth. Maybe you should drink more water -- that shit is pretty disgusting. Anyway, since it's a national holiday and all, just on this one occasion we guess you can hug us, but leave at least a foot of space between our crotches and don't you dare grope us like you did that one guy on Fox News a couple of years ago. We'll just be glad when this whole thing is over and we can focus on World Health Day, which for you we'd recommend celebrating by washing your hands once in a while.
In fact, hand-washing may well be one of the components of the World Health Organizations five-pronged approach to fighting antimicrobial diseas, which it will unveil as a tie-in to World Health Day on Thursday. But whatever -- five-pronged approaches are boring. The day we're more interested in is Plan Your Epitaph Day, which falls on Wednesday. And might we offer a few suggestions:

Friday gets a little less morbid with Draw A Picture of A Bird Day, but then the morbidity comes right back around on Saturday with Winston Churchill Day, which doesn't sound that depressing until you consider the circumstances of how it came to be. "Why April 9?" you may or may not be asking, and we will tell you: April 9, 1963 is the day that Winston Churchill became the first person ever to be named an honorary U.S. Citizen. Pretty nice, right? Except Winston Churchill was dead in 1963. So, fat lot of good that did him.

As Christians called to love our neighbour, welcome the stranger, challenge unjust systems and offer refuge and care to those who are marginalised and in exile, we have a particular responsibility in our society when it comes to responding to issues related to asylum seekers and refugees.
The Uniting Church advocates for a just response to the needs of refugees that recognises Australia's responsibilities as a wealthy global citizen, upholds the human rights and safety of all people, and is based on just and humane treatment, including non-discriminatory practices and accountable, transparent processes.
The Uniting Church in Australia is a long-standing advocate of the just treatment of asylum seekers. We have been consistently vocal on the need for:

There are two different types of kids out there. Once that wake up extremely early for no reason and those that need to be dragged out of bed. My boys tend to be the wake up extremely early for sure. I do expect at some point (maybe teenage years) that may change. Until then they don't really need an alarm clock. But I know there are many kids that are in need of an alarm clock. When I was offered the Rocket Ship Projection Alarm Clock I said yes, not because I needed an alarm clock, but because it looked like a fun clock and my boys would love it.
The Rocket Ship Projection Alarm Clock projects four NASA images on the bedroom wall or ceiling. The image is about 30 inches wide. The image can be easily switched between the four. It has an option for the projection to be a nightlight with a timer for an automatic shut off after 10 or 30 minutes. Kids can drift off into sleep with visions of astronauts, rocket ships, a full moon or the planet earth. The clock is designed so a child can easily use it and set it. It has an AM and PM indicator. The top of the clock rotates and pivots to allow the time and image to project anywhere in the room. The rocket clock can operate on 3 C batteries or an AC adapter.
My boys share a room so and they were excited to have this rocket alarm clock in their room. The first few days they would find many opportunities to tell me what time it was. They got happy at bedtime to be able to see the projection on the ceiling. They take turns picking the projection photo each night. I will admit that there have been some fights about what to project. I like that the projection can be tilted any way you like. The buttons are easy to touch and use by both my boys. I like that you can choose to project just the time or add a picture for it. When the picture is added it is a little difficult to read the time. We have not used the alarm clock function since my boys are early risers.
There is a Kickstarter project for the Rocket Ship Alarm Clock that has begun. This clock would make a great gift for any child.
Discount Code: rocket20
Win it: One (1) Arizona Mama reader will receive their own Rocket Ship Projection Alarm Clock

Standing water comes from many sources. It causes damage to sidewalks, driveways, and foundations not to mention plants, trees, and grass. Does the side of your house flood because your neighbor doesn't have gutters, or does your sidewalk turn into a moat after a heavy rain, or worst of all, does water seep into your foundation and duct work after a thunderstorm.

CMG utilizes: French Drains, Surface Drains, Channel Drains, Basement Drains, Trench Drains, Basin Drains, and Sump Pumps.
Just what is a "French Drain?" Many times people incorrectly use the phrase, "French Drain," to apply to many different types of Drains that could be used in a Drainage System. The term is widely used and many times incorrectly connected to "Surface Drains," or "Channel Drains."
A Surface Drain has a grate that sits on top of a basin. The basin is underground. A Drain Pipe is connected underground to an outlet on the Drain Basin. Storm-Water Drains through the grate into the Drain Basin. Once in the Drain Basin, water travels out of the basin through a Drain Pipe. The Storm-Water continues downhill in an underground Drain Pipe to an exit point.
A Surface Drain may come in many different shapes or sizes. The Drain Grate may be round or square. Here is a picture of a common Surface Drain.

March 2 @ 4:00 – 5:00 PM
Speaker: Vicki L. Lamb, PhD
Presented from NCCU
Broadcast Link: Seminar
This presentation summarizes a study using Medicare data to estimate costs of dementia vs. non-dementia people at the end of life. In 2008, Dr. Vicki Lamb, NCCU, worked with Dr. Frank Sloan, a health economist at Duke. They used a co-variate matching or propensity analysis during their study. The research applied a data analytics technique that is becoming more widespread today.
The study's objective was to determine the effect of a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or related dementias (ADRD), and the timing of first ADRD diagnosis on Medicare expenditures at the end of life. The presentation will describe research methods and results. The data extraction methods involved Medicare payment data for the 5 years before death, which were used to compare 5-year and 6-month intervals of expenditures (total and six subcategories of services) for persons with and without a diagnosis of ADRD during the last 5 years of life. Covariate matching was used. The principal findings were that on average, ADRD diagnosis was not significantly associated with excess Medicare payments over the last 5 years of life. However, payment differences by 6-month intervals were highly sensitive to timing of ADRD diagnosis, with the highest differences occurring around the time of diagnosis. Only those diagnosed with ADRD in the last year of life had significantly higher Medicare payments during the last 12 months of life, primarily for acute care services.
Dr. Lamb will summarize study and conclusions including that ADRD has a smaller impact on total Medicare expenditures than previously reported in controlled studies. Although rates of dementia are increasing per se, the research team's results suggest that long-term (11 year) ADRD diagnoses do not contribute to greater total Medicare costs at the end of life.
Speaker Bio
Dr. Vicki Lamb, PhD., is a professor of sociology and human studies. She is currently in the department of Human Sciences, where she serves as director of graduate studies, at North Carolina Central University. Her long-term interests have been in the demography of aging, quantitative research methodologies, and the health and disability of older persons.

You will never lose an encounter again.
Last week I shared four principles or formulas as you wish, for success, by the great Alex Ferguson. Professor Anita Elberse and her students at Harvard Business School took on the mammoth task to try and understand what made Sir Alex the best manager in the world.
This week we delve into his final principles, kick-starting with:
Match the Message to the Moment
Communication, according to Sir Alex, is one of the most fundamental aspects of his job. If a player is expecting to start a match and Sir Alex feels that this is not the best decision, he would approach the situation very delicately and above all, in a private manner.
This would not be the time to stamp his authority but rather build his confidence and let him down gently. "No one likes to be criticised. Few people get better with criticism; most respond to encouragement instead, so I try to give encouragement where I could for any human being there is nothing better than hearing 'Well Done'."
Sir Alex firmly believes in not waiting to give feedback. Give the feedback right after the game, explain to the team what areas let them down, what tactical errors certain players made and then it is all over.
What he has to say is done and dusted right after a game. Next training session is next training session and not an opportunity to carry over past burdens.
Prepare to Win
In the past 10 seasons, Manchester United had a better record when tied at halftime and when tied with 15 minutes left to play, and a better record than any other club in the English Premier League, as Professors Elberse research data highlighted.
There is no luck in Ferguson's tactics but rather preparing each practice as if it were the last three, five or 10 minutes to go. By preparing for situations like that, players have directions and an action plan to be more successful in tough situations.
The true magic comes when practised plays become autonomic. In the dying minutes of the game, there is so much pressure on a player to perform and to score the winning goal that for most players, they will crack under the pressure.
But when you practice for last minute goals, you almost desensitise the situation and this allows you to perform your job better.
"Winning is in my nature, I am a gambler a risk taker and you can see how we play in the late stages of matches. I am confident in my players and I have to win every time" Ferguson told HBS.
Rely on Power of Observation
"Observation is the final part of my management structure" Ferguson said. He firmly believes in delegating and has done so by passing most of the training sessions to his trusted assistant coaches.
Sir Alex made sure he was always present at each practice but just watched. Switching from coach to observer, allowed him to better evaluate the players and their performances.
Stepping away allowed Sir Alex to view each player and the game in more detail without ceding control because his presence and ability to supervise was always there.
"The ability to see things is key – or, more specifically, the ability to see things you don't expect to see," Sir Alex had firmly believed in.
Never Stop Adapting
Sir Alex built a club and firmly entrenched a sense of "never standing still," always adapting, always improving and keeping ahead of the times.
Ultimately, according to David Gill, he believes that Sir Alex has an unbelievable skill to adapt to change and this skill has helped him mould United through the evolution of football.
Evidence of adaption showed when Ferguson adapted his backroom staff and appointed sports scientists to support the coaches, he installed vitamin D booths in the players' dressing room in order to compensate for the lack of sunlight.
He also pioneered the use of GPS tracking in each player to give a live report on player performance behaviour.

Title: The Brethren: Inside the Supreme Court
Author: Bob Woodward and Scott Armstrong
Page Count: 467 pages
Genre: Nonfiction
Tone: Journalistic, Fast-Paced
These book discussion questions are highly detailed and will ruin plot points if you have not read the book.
Questions composed by MPPL Staff
The Library is happy to share these original questions for your use. If reproducing, please credit with the following statement: 2016 Mount Prospect Public Library. All rights reserved. Used with Permission.
1. Before reading this book, were you familiar with the structure of the U.S. Supreme Court?
2. Why do you think Woodward opened the book detailing newly appointed Chief Justice Burger's changes to the courtroom, clerk communications, etc.? Were you surprised at how antiquated some of the Courts' procedures were in 1969?
3. Why were some of the Justices concerned about their portrayal in the media (e.g., Justice Marshall on page 51)?
4. Does it make sense why someone who is appointed by a "conservative" president or a "liberal" president may seem to make an about-face once on the Court. Do you think that is how C.J. Burger was perceived (for instance in his role regarding school desegregation, when he may have wanted to follow the Nixon administration's policy of "reasonable delay" (page 56) but instead issued a two page per curiam (an opinion of the court with no designated author) ordering immediate desegregation (page 55)?
5. In the past Supreme Court nominees were usually approved by the Senate; rarely were they rejected. In more recent years (since LBJ's time) the Senate has seemed more willing to reject Supreme Court nominees. What do you think of this trend?
6. What was your impression of Burger? Do you think it was a good strategy to almost always go along with the majority in order that he could assign who wrote the opinions?
7. Do you feel Woodward portrayed C.J. Burger fairly?
8. Do you agree that the C.J. should be concerned with how the media portrays him and how he is perceived by the public and to "view cases as purely political" as Stewart accused him of on page 72?
9. Do you agree that Justices should be appointed for life? Why is or isn't this a good idea?
10. The Brethren is often assigned to first year law students. Why do you think that is? Do you think it is a good book for future lawyers to read? Why or why not?
11. According to the authors much of the information presented in The Brethren was garnered through interviews with former clerks. How do you feel about the apparent breach of confidentiality? Do you think it's good or bad for the Supreme Court to operate in relative secrecy?
12. Did reading this book make you feel differently about the importance of the Supreme Court nomination process?
13. This book was first published in 1979, covering events from 1969-1975. How much has changed in the Supreme Court since then? How much hasn't changed?

Standing Against the Forces of Nature
Do you ever feel as though you are standing there in a futile fight against the immense forces of nature?
There have been a few times in my life when I have been face to face with an unstoppable force that I felt like an ant trying to stop a tidal wave.
I am reminded of that song
Just what makes that little old ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plantAnyone knows an ant, can'tMove a rubber tree plant
But he's got high hopes, he's got high hopesHe's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes
And while some of you may be thinking that I am describing some sort of analogy for my inner gender variances, nope, I am describing how I felt standing next to my tent while gale force winds threatened to destroy my entire camp.
Jules and I were awoken just a few minutes prior and were now fully dressed, standing next to our tent, and holding onto it for dear life. The skies were a dark formidable mass of nasty looking clouds, and the rain was just lightly falling, but the wind had become stronger than anything I had ever experienced. It was whipping down the valley, roaring as it came, and lifting our tent almost completely off the ground, with Jules and I with it.
Jules steadied the tent while I furiously beat the stakes back into the mostly sandy ground. The wind blew harder and harder, yanking most of the steaks out, and eventually ripping open a large gash in the side of the tent. More wind blew in and the tent began to billow like a parachute, lifting more and more up off the ground.
I was desperately trying to determine what to do next when our screen room suddenly lifted up, tossing our kitchen to the ground, and crumpled to the ground about twenty feet away. Our quaint little campground began to look like a hurricane smashed through it. Our stuff was blowing all over the place, the screen room was a complete loss, the tent was mostly ripped, and still the wind blew, destroying as it huffed and puffed.
Jules was ten feet from me, but I had to yell for her to hear me describe what to do. We dropped the tent to the ground and began to struggle with getting the canopy off of the frame. Around this time a fellow camper, from a site next to ours, came running over and began to struggle with our crumpled screen room. With the tent sitting on the ground, it stopped acting like it was about to fly away and I went to help with our screen room.
When I got to it, I could see how it was just completely destroyed. The fabric was ripped all over and the canopy frame was mangled beyond repair. Between the two of us we got the fabric detached from the frame and tucked under a bush. With the screen room secured, we both ran back over to the tent and helped Jules to get it all down.
The entire incident lasted about a half hour, but by the time it was complete, our camp had been destroyed. Most of our gear had been totally demolished, our belongings were strewn about in the dirt, our older dog was freaked out, and Jules and I were exhausted.
We spent the next hour or two cleaning up, packing our stuff back into the truck, and marveling at the power of nature and of our arrogance. Every so often Jules and I really think we have gotten something figured out and are pretty secure in our knowledge that we got it down! Camping was one of those areas.
Jules and I have been camping for many, many years, somewhere more than 20. We have refined our gear and gotten to the point where we are more "glampers" than campers. We have had our ups and down and really thought that we had the camping thing down. In fact, humorously, just the day before this we had been commenting to each other how good we are at camping and that we should offer classes to others to help them out. OMG, what arrogance! It was as if the world heard us and decided to hand us a fat slice of humble pie!
As harsh as it can be at times, I enjoy being humbled.
I enjoy being reminded that sometimes nature is going to take it's course regardless of my desires.
Maybe this is an analogy.
Maybe what I need are tent anchors instead of stakes?
Maybe what I really need is a camp trailer!
Just what makes that little old ant ....

When I was a teenager I was in the Scouts. One year we went on a district camp and over the weekend a storm hit. It was so bad we packed everyone into the mess tent as that was a lot more sturdy and could hold all of the troop.ReplyDelete
The Scout leaders, patrol and assistant patrol leaders ended up having to take down all of the other tents, it was very much like you've described, handing onto the tents and trying to take them down without them turning into massive parachutes.
I was glad to crawl into my sleeping bag, even if it meant I had to sleep in my underwear because I couldn't find my rucsac with spare clothes.
My other experience while camping in the rain was in the Lake District. A group of us from work had spent a week camping there. On the weekend at the end of the week we were there lots of people started turning up and our very quiet spot (there was just our four tents) became a lot more rowdy due to the group of lads and lasses that seemed to be planning a weekend of music and drinking.
The music and noise kept going until really late before quieting down, and then the rain started.
When I awoke the following morning and looked out of my tent the view was completely changed. The group of tents belonging to the group that had been drinking until late were gone, the occasional belong lying on the ground. When they eventually appeared it was from the cars they'd come in. It seemed that none of them had put their tents up properly and so as soon as the storm came in their tents had been blown down. Strangely we didn't see them again that weekend. I have to admit to mild satisfaction that our tents had survived and theirs hadn't as much as it wouldn't have been nice dealing with tents coming down in the rain.Replies

That sounds quite blustery! I guess it's time to do some shopping and get some new equipment.ReplyDelete
We had some strong winds whip through here the other day for a short time, too. Knocked over my neighbor's tree, among other things. But no substantial damage other than the downed tree.
Hi Dara-Delete
Interesting. I think the storm that hit us was coming up form the south, so maybe it had hit you first. It was kind of wild while driving back as there was lots of debris on the road from the high winds blowing leaves and branches and even trees down.
Glad you were not affected by it!

The solar cell which will function under the CHED will be responsible for planning and implementing projects for developing Kochi as `Solar City'.
Corporation officials said that the cell will also be responsible for conducting awareness programmes and training in solar energy technology . It will also be a point of contact for public for information concerning solar renewable energy technology .
Once the cell is established, the strategies mentioned for different sectors will be looked into and minor pilot projects that could be implemented in the city would be developed .
The various funds under different schemes offered by the union ministry will be utilized to implement such projects.
Subsidies will be made available to the individual households through ANERT and various Akshaya Urja shops that sells solar and renewable energy products.
The master plan submitted by the Kochi corporation says the city will need 975 million units (MU) of power per year by 2021. The report estimates that the city can achieve an "aggregate reduction of 155.42 MU" in conventional power consumption in five years.
Commercial and residential units can avail subsidies for installing and using solar water heaters, rooftop panels on roofs and PV power plants. There is a lot of scope for saving energy by shifting to CFLs and LED lights. Awareness programmes will be held in schools and commercial institutions to promote solar energy .
The total indicative budget for development of Cochin as Solar City is estimated at Rs 696.59 crore, which will be invested over five years. The total budget will be shared by the state government, local body , MNRE and private users.

Wirral Borough Council has said an 8 year-old turkey has become unbearable after contracting a strain of man flu not previously found in poultry.
The New Ferry Centre for Disease Control and Prevention said the bird had been infected with the M10N8 strain of man flu virus known to cause severe bouts of complaining, lethargy and a refusal to participate in basic household chores. The World Health Organisation has described the most recent case of human-to-turkey transmission as "tiresome".
Turkey, Colin Devine, first showed symptoms on Monday evening, including a slight sniffle and a feeling of 'coming down with something'. However, by Tuesday the disease had escalated into full blown nausea, accompanied by a blocked beak and ruffled feathers.
Devine later downed three packets of Lemsip before ringing his employer to say he was unlikely to turn up for his job at a meat processing factory this side of Christmas. Tim O' Leary of the WHO's Wirral branch said, 'It's been sat there all day watching TV wrapped in a blanket.'
The outbreak is reminiscent of the one last December in which three thousand geese avoided slaughter after contracting man flu off a bloke called Alan in work. The strain M245G was later identified as "nasty".
'Many of these birds are perfectly healthy, but are convinced they are about to die,' O
Leary added. 'The safest way to prevent further transmission is by keeping them wrapped up in tin foil in a well-heated environment for at least two hours or until the juices run clear.'

It is critically important for our state to recognize the role and rights of communities of color in our democracy. The struggle for rights at the polling booth is part of a deeper public debate about who is included and who is excluded in our society.
When the voter ID amendment to the Minnesota Constitution was on the ballot in 2012, we convened partners from multiple communities to develop a strategy to address voter ID as a racial justice issue. The Voices for Voting Rights campaign developed educational materials, a training program, and powerful video narratives that spoke from multiple communities.
Voices for Voting Rights continues as a partnership focused on expanding participation in democracy, on Election Day and beyond, by building community power, voice, and access to democracy. We proactively and powerfully engage communities of color in democracy reform and civic participation by integrating racial equity goals into the broader movement to protect our democracy.

The Third Theosophical Ray is the Ray of adaptability and a subtle sense of timing and of interrelationships. Controlling it is the entity Mahachohn who it seems has authority like a Prime Minister over the Third to Seventh Rays since they each affect in some way the mind, bliss or activity. The Masters of these Rays are similar to ministers of his Cabinet. This Ray's function might be considered astrological; that is, astrology properly being thought of as the science of interconnectedness of all things in the universe, both the movement of the stars and the affairs of men, to some these are interrelated. Also influenced by this Ray is the correct understanding of history and its great cycles. Its Master is known as Venetian. A.G.H.

When I travel from Bangalore to Hyderabad, sometimes I have used Raj Express Travels , a bus transport service provider . The service was introduced in 2005 and with in a span of 15 months has turned out to be a successful venture. I am not aware of the founder's background nor the amount of capital that would have gone in to starting this venture, though i can guestimate. If one were to look from a BlueOcean Strategy framework, here is what they have done, atleast from a regular traveler's perspective
Create :
- A luxurious environment for a bus travel which a certain niche segment would be willing to pay
- Introducing e-ticketing - A HUGE reason for their success as IT Savvy bangaloreans would lap up any eservice and when it is related to travel, one doesnt have to pitch for using the service
- Giving away goodies like earplugs, bedsheets etc ( which they have stopped now, a mistake in my opinion)
- Reduce the intracity stops - A private coach would stop typically at 3-8 places in the city before making the final departure.Makign a single point departure , the service scored heavily on the comfort levels of the customers
- Reduce uncertainity in the pickup and drop timings(on time pickup and drop - a thing which is taken for granted but hardly gets done by other private bus travels)
- Eliminated Drivers with less than 10 years of experience.
Increase :
- Increase the fare compared to the other service providers
- Screening done to see to it that only non-alcoholics and perfect vision folks are recruited as drivers
- 2 flat Screens( atleast I have never seen a bus with 2 screens before utilizing their service)
One of the reasons that made me write the post is their ads for travel packages to countries outside India and the way they were priced. Starting from 26,455 - 49,999. If one thinks of it, there are lot of bangaloreans who would want avail such packages, young working professionals who would want to take a week off, couples for their honeymoon, etc..Considering the purchasing power of bangalore going up , I dont see a why this service of out -of-india tours wont pick up. Would have been great if I could have had access to their financials such as cash flow and intial investment.In anycase, this is a classic success story of a business focusing on niche and moving on to the path of profitability.

The insurance companies initially denied the claims saying that illness contributed to the cause of death therefore it was not accidental. Bartolic was able to get payment for all three claims. The most important thing to consider if you are denied an accidental death or life insurance claim is to hire a qualified attorney immediately. There are oftentimes limits imposed when appealing a claim so swift action is required.

People suffering from stress are also prone to gastritis, surgery, burns, trauma and other serious medical problems increase the chances of developing gastritis.
The way gastritis attacks the stomach walls is by disrupting the mucosa, name given to the lining of the stomach. However, other types of gastritis produce inflammation underneath the stomach lining due to bacteria or anemia. These cases are prone to develop into ulcers.
Gastritis in most cases is painless, common symptoms are: loss of appetite, vomiting, nausea, bloating, and indigestion, some people may experience abdominal pain when eating.
Home remedies for Gastritis 1: Eliminate dairy products from your diet until the digestive system is healed.
Home remedies for Gastritis 2: Drink eight large glasses of water a day.
Home remedies for Gastritis 3: Take 400 IU a day of vitamin E to reduce inflammation in the stomach.
Home remedies for Gastritis 4: If your gastritis is caused by anemia, take supplemental chlorophyll two capsules three times a day, and follow the recommendations under anemia.
Home remedies for Gastritis 5: Licorice (DGL) helps heal the gastrointestinal tract chew 300 to 600 mg. 30 minutes before meals. This herb is also use to treat ulcers. Licorice is as effective as Tagamet.

Although I enjoy constructing the lolquests that cater to your inner id, it's always nice to balance them out with serious, emotional stuff. Granted, while I'm probably too cynical to feel emotions like love and compassion the way I used to, hopefully I still understand them enough to where the stories resonate with people who do.
So when players like Siempre take screenshots like this, in a way it lets me know that we did something right, because they cared enough to take a photo. After all, this isn't some tourist who wants a picture with a homeless stoner they've mistaken for Matthew McConaughey. No, we're talking about the heroes of Skyrim. And for all the dragons they've slain and the mountains they've conquered, I'm glad people feel scenes like this – these ordinary little moments – are something worth preserving.

Richard Pryor plans autobiographical cable sitcom. The ailing comedian's show will star a young actor as a Pryor-like character, with plots based on his old routines
Richard Pryor, whose unflinchingly candid stories about himself made for unforgettable stand-up comedy routines in the 1970s, will get to tell those stories again, this time in sitcom form. According to Variety, his old routines will serve as source material for "Pryor Offenses," a scripted series that will center on a young, up-and-coming comic who is engaged to a sophisticated African-American attorney while conducting an affair with an earthy white woman who owns a comedy club. In keeping with the R-rated content of Pryor's material, the series will air on Showtime.
Called "Pryor Offenses," the show will be co-produced by Jennifer Lee Pryor, the comedian's current wife and manager, and former "Mad About You" writer Bill Grundfest. Pryor tells Variety that Grundfest approached her with an outline of 13 episodes. "Bill has created a brilliant way of turning Richard's material and characters into a… comedy of pain," she said. "It's a show designed to make you laugh till you cry and cry till you laugh."
The show will be set in the present day, but Grundfest said,. "I haven't had to do anything to update his material. His problems, his pain, the center of his standup is just as cutting edge today as it was back then. He was able to make us laugh about stuff that was really painful."
Now 62, Richard Pryor has kept a low profile in recent years, due to his multiple sclerosis. In 2000, Jennifer Lee Pryor produced a nine-CD boxed set retrospective containing 25 years worth of his material.

The boy was just 12. His mother recalls him smiling a lot. He was small and he sometimes stuttered. But his sweet nature had a way of winning over almost everyone he met.
Almost everyone.
The East Harlem boy hanged himself in the shower after two years of unrelenting bullying by a handful of his school peers. He would be tripped. Pushed. Chased. Taunted. Struck with objects. When his mother complained to administrators and the parents of the alleged bullies, it got worse.
Now, the deceased boy's mother has filed a lawsuit against the New York City Education Department, naming also the parents of those boys who tormented her son. The lawsuit claims that not only do the parents have culpability in her son's death, but also the city, the school administrators and the teachers. All share responsibility, she says, because they did nothing to stop the mistreatment of her son.
In addition to the boy's small stature and speech impediment, the other boys reportedly taunted him over the death of his own father, who had committed suicide when he was just a baby.
The boy's mother recounted one meeting wherein she sat across the table from the parents of the boys who were taunting her son. She said they sat stone-faced. They never admitted wrongdoing, never apologized and never did anything to make sure the behavior would stop.
She recalls the boys involved came to her home and threw sticks at her door. Her older son recalls seeing his younger brother beaten in front of a crossing guard, who did nothing to intervene.
The family asked to be moved to another housing project in hopes that they could have him switch schools. However, the family was turned down.
Days after the meeting she had with the other parents, the bullies sneaked up on him in his building and began beating him with sticks and pipes.
His mother filed an order of protection against the bullies. It apparently still did not stop them.
This was a situation where a mother did everything right. She did everything she could possibly have done to protect her son. Of course, the boys involved must be held to account. But so to should the educational system that failed to do its part to protect this child from abuse.
While lawsuits of this nature are relatively rare, they are becoming more common across the country. What was once seen as a matter to be worked out amongst children has become far more serious where bullies tend to be more aggressive in a digital age, where victims can't escape.
In New Jersey, a teenager filed a lawsuit against two local school districts earlier this year, alleging that neither did anything to help reduce the amount of bullying he endured from fourth grade through high school. The teen was bullied not only by students, but also reportedly by school employees. Incidents involved a "pantsing," taunting over his perceived sexual orientation and cyberbullying online. Despite numerous complaints to school officials, the teen says, nothing was done to stop the behavior.
In Massachusetts, the family of a Jewish boy says he was targeted by bullies because of his heritage, with fellow middle schoolers taunting him with shouts of "Heil Hitler," slamming his head into the wall, punching him in the hallways, branding his locker with a swastika and even drawing the symbol on the road in front of his home. His family also alleges the school did nothing to address the behavior, despite numerous complaints.
USA Today in 2011 reported on the rise of anti-bullying lawsuits in the U.S. It was speculated that increased awareness of the issue, as well as new standards and more attorneys willing to take on these cases.
Almost every parent pursuing this kind of legal action has the same goal: Making sure it doesn't happen again.

Mom's Chicken With Pomegranates And Walnuts Recipe
A pomegranate marinade lends to a sweet-and-sour flavoured chicken.
2 lb. chicken thighs and drumsticks
1 tbsp plus 1 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp ground turmeric
3 tbsp canola oil
1 1/4 cups Pomegranate Confiture (below)
3 cups toasted walnuts
Pinch of saffron threads (optional)
Pomegranate Confiture
6 cups pomegranate seeds (from about 10 pomegranates)
6 cups sugar
1/4 cup water
Step 1. Place a large pot over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. While the pot is heating, pat the chicken dry and season with the salt, pepper, cumin, and turmeric.
Step 2. Add the oil to the pot and add the chicken. Brown the chicken on all sides. Overcrowding the pot will steam the chicken instead of searing it. Add the pomegranate confiture and stir in the walnuts and the saffron.
Step 3. Place a lid on the pot and bring to a boil, then lower the heat to simmer for 45 minutes. Uncover and reduce the sauce for another 45 minutes. Remove from the heat and take the pot straight to the table for a family-style meal.
Serves 4 to 6.
Pomegranate Confiture
Step 1. Place the seeds, sugar, and water in a medium saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil. Lower the heat to simmer and cook until thick, like syrup, about 35 minutes. Stir the mixture occasionally to prevent the bottom from burning. Remove from the heat and cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 year.
Makes 2 cups.
