|Unpacking the mojo
|AWS Block #22
|AWS Block #21
Sometimes I hand piece and sometimes I piece by machine, sometimes I even combine both techniques in the same block. I like the accuracy of hand piecing so I thought 'why not prep for machine piecing as per hand piecing?' So for this block I drew lines and pinned as I would for hand piecing.
Quite a good result but I'm afraid this block didn't quite pass muster with the G'nT Sisters At 2am (after some wine) the leaves I had drawn myself were thought to resemble "reindeer on steroids" and it was too brown. It has now been renovated and admittedly it does look better now.
|AWS Block #12
Did you notice Judy's AWS on the spare bed? We were lying on top of it (ugg boots and all!) whilst trying different layouts. Now I 'just' need to finish the broderie perse for the outer triangles.
Last Saturday Judy and I dropped in to Linda's book launch in the Barn last Saturday. We purchased a copy of her new book Treasures from the Barn published by Quiltnania.
|Me, Linda & Judy
It was great seeing Linda and all the original antique quilts that the book is based on,this gave us inspiration for our current and future projects. We were both taken by the Little Boys Britches quilt behind us in the photo above and the first quilt below.

It was also a wonderful thrill to meet Marianne (DreamWeaver) in person. She has been a Dear Jane and design wall inspiration for me.
And what would a blog post be without a Chester County Criswell block? So I'll finish with Block #24 that I completed last night.

"Some really gnarly things happened to this band," says drummer Gavin Hoffman, gently twirling his sticks. "Things I wouldn't wish on anybody." It's dim here at NeverNever's practice space, and I'm hoping my eyes will adjust. For a band that's endured as much upheaval, tragedy and general misfortune, it's a wonder that they're back at all … let alone on speaking terms, in the same room together. I gently recline against a P.A. while the five reunited band members regale me with their personal history lesson.
NeverNever began sometime in late 1999, an immediate opportunity for friends David Darby and Patrick Bogdanich to craft music on their own terms. "We were a pretty sad duo," says Bogdanich. "I felt like a freak." These misfit feelings, combined with a caustic love for the clamor of Integrity and Godflesh motivated them to cobble together a two-piece unit consisting of Darby pre-recording rhythm tracks into a drum machine, and Bogdanich penning dreary and
despondent lyrics.
The group's debut at Burt's Tiki Lounge was memorable and involved a scuffle between Bogdanich and a rowdy showgoer pelting the stage with ice. "Patrick was wearing a dress, singing along to a drum machine," says Darby. "No one knew what to think about it." The duo quickly realized that their unconventional style would put them at odds with many audiences
to come.
Still, NeverNever's distinctive approach didn't repel everyone, and the group developed a rabid following of interested musicians in the area. "I saw them play as a two-piece at Mo's Bar and Grill and they just killed it," says guitarist Alex Hinton. "The passion was so there, it was awesome." Attracted to the duo's eccentric sonic methodology, Hinton, Hoffman and bassist Scott Darby (David's brother) would join the band one by one, rounding out NeverNever to a full five piece.
2001 saw the band write and record their first official album, Stage Fright. Piecing the songs together, and quickly recording them in a barn, it served as a dark and unsettling portrait of the core duo's creative psyche. "I was infatuated with drugs," Bogdanich says, recalling a garbage bag he'd hang from his microphone stand, a makeshift receptacle for periodic vomiting during practice. "I didn't like to hide it. The music gave me a forum for it." Though never overtly glorifying drug use, the songs contained a palpable air of addict misery with which many users could identify, but the sentiment wasn't mutual among band members. "It was one of the things that almost caused me to quit," says Hoffman. "Patrick and David were on drugs and I wasn't."
It took the untimely death of a dear friend to send the band into an ideological tailspin. For some, the tragedy served as a welcome catalyst for sobriety, but it plunged others deeper into the throes of addiction. Relationships in the band shifted, and lyrics took on an increasingly somber and reflective tone, resulting in a spate of songs which have yet to see release.
Defeated and beaten down, the band played an anticlimactic final show in 2005 before splitting. "I made the conscious decision to end the band," says Darby. "I knew where I was headed and I wanted to get there as fast as I could." Within two months, he was homeless.
"The truth is that we're a self-imposed tragic band," says Scott Darby. "This is a triumphant return. I thought I'd be dead by now." Time and experience have been good for everyone, and 2011 seems as good a time as any for a fresh start. Maintaining sobriety over the years has given Bogdanich an appreciation for the band as well. "I'm so fucking glad these guys are clean," he says referring to the Darby brothers' recent stints in extensive drug rehab programs.
Admittedly, nothing has been discussed beyond the upcoming show. It's been difficult to coordinate things and the group's material is far from frivolous. Many of the songs were written close to a decade ago, during emotionally weighty times. "It's like I have to revisit them," says Bogdanich, "and I don't want to do that with a smirk on my face. If I can't do it with all the passion of a memorial, then I don't want to do it."
Fans and friends of the band have taken the reins in promoting the upcoming show, a special and poignant outreach. "We're a freaking Salt Lake band, period," says Hinton. "We all take a little bit of pride in that. I've had people come up to me and tell me that they've hung on to old NeverNever hoodies. It's weird." Though scant, it's a devoted fan base that's been cultivated and nurtured, even in the creative silence of the band's extended absence.
Ultimately though, the reunion isn't about regressing, self-important moralizing or aggrandizing the past, and it's certainly not for anyone but the band. "We always had a lot more heart than talent," says Bogdanich referencing the band's convoluted approach to music. I look around the room, noting each band member, tattooed, dreadlocked and grinning incessantly. Maybe it's sobriety, hard work and hard times … but I can't help but credit the thrilling prospect of some more meaningful noise, the same thrilling prospect that brought them together over a decade ago.


text: 1) Another day, another afghan. This one for a dear childhood friend. One of those friends that even though we don't spend much time together anymore, anytime we do get together, we pick up right where we left off. More often than not, we revert to our 12 year old selves and talk of nothing but boys, N'SYNC, and the cinematic treasure that is Crossroads starring Britney Spears. With epic conversations like that, how could I not make something for her upcoming little Mr. or Miss. I really like the way this one turned out. The border is definitely the most complicated I have completed, but I think it was well worth the extra time. 2) T and I went on our first hike of the season up to Rattlesnake Ledge. It was a nice quick hike, and we really lucked out weather wise. It was supposed to rain on us and fortunately we stayed dry! It was a bit foggy at the top, but still a lovely view and well worth the trek. 3) I realized I was old this week when I went shopping for matching pajama sets. Not sure why, but this just seems like a very adult thing to do. Goodbye to the days of mismatched flannel pants and oversized t-shirts, and hello to button up matching sleep shirts and pants. Cute, but it makes me feel a little too mature. Here's to a good start to the week!

Last week, we discussed the first three steps PFMs can take with service members to get their finances on track: 1. Assess the situation; 2. Find the Motivation; and 3. Recruit Your Team. We also linked to free online tools that are useful in managing personal finances. This week, we'll discuss credit scores and how you can guide your clients to improve their credit score..
Step 4: Know the Score
Having service members identify their credit score is a vital step on the path to financial freedom. It is especially important for service members to know their credit scores well in advance of making a major purchase; such as, buying a home or car. Helping service members understand how their everyday decisions affect their credit score empowers them to build stronger credit scores. Credit scores are comprised of many factors. By asking a service member the following questions, PFMPs can assist service members in understanding how their actions may affect their FICO score:
1. Payment history-35%. Are bills late and how often?
2. Amounts owed-30%. Are you maxed out? How many accounts have balances?
3. Length of credit history-15%. How long have credit accounts been opened?
4. New Credit-10%. Are you opening accounts frequently? How many new accounts do you have?
5. Credit types-10%. Is there a good mix of credit (credit cards, mortgages, or personal loans)?
As a financial educator at your installation you can assist service members in receiving their FICO score at no charge. The FINRA Investor Education Foundation provides special access for PFMPs to allow service members and their spouses an annual free FICO score. Click here to learn more about this FINRA-supported program. Access to the free FICO score site is arranged through your service branch's Headquarters PFMP.
If your client discovers a low credit score, suggest the myriad of ways available to raise the score before making big purchases. Low credit scores mean higher interest rates which translate into larger monthly payments. Once service members understand this relationship, they will understand that raising the score quickly is in their best interest.
Service members with a strong credit score may want to move forward with their purchase. Lets say the service member in your office is thinking of purchasing a car. There are several items to consider, in addition to credit rating, that you may want to share. The service member will need to decide what type of vehicle is to be purchased and whether it will be new or used. A review of the service members finances will either support the initial choice or may suggest a change in approach. Together, tally up the monthly expenses to determine the amount of money that is available each month for a car payment and car related expenses, including insurance, gas and maintenance. Refer the service member to websites such as www.edmonds.com and www.kbb.com, and to the credit union to research car prices before visiting auto dealerships. For help determining the best options for car insurance, click here. Many insurance companies offer military discounts and the Insurance Information Institute has ways to lower car insurance costs. You may also suggest your client refers to http://www.nhtsa.gov/ to find out all the facts on their desired car before making a purchase. Fuel economy and safety features should be considered before making such a large purchase.
Besides a car purchase, when else do clients typically come to your office seeking a credit score report?

While recently using Scribd's services, I came across a very nasty bug, and a nice clean fix. Scribd allows developers to tap into a great, but somewhat basic API. One of these settings allows a developer to set a default 'mode' before the API then builds the flash calls necessary to display the document. The issue comes up when you choose the 'slide' mode as the loading view. No matter what 'height' you set, with 'auto_size' set to false, the height will adjust to the wrong height.
I'm an experienced web developer, software engineer, and leader. Welcome to my blog. If you need to reach out you can continue the conversation with a tweet to @geedew. I hope you find what you are looking for here. You can also find me on Github and StackOverflow.

Analysis suggests that solar thermal can provide baseline power
Analysis suggests that solar thermal can provide baseline power
But it requires careful coordination across multiple plants.
by John Timmer – June 25 2014, 4:28am AUSEST
With the cost of photovoltaic devices and wind power dropping dramatically, the economics of some forms of renewable power are becoming increasingly compelling. But these sources of power come with a significant limitation: intermittency. Solar can't generate power around the clock (and output drops during cloudy days), while wind power can suffer from low output that can last days. There are various ways to work around some lack of production—grid-scale storage and careful matching of supply and demand—but some degree of what's termed "baseline power" is needed to ensure the stability of the grid.
There are ways to provide this baseline power that don't involve significant carbon emissions, like nuclear and hydro power. But those come with their own set of issues. So a group of European researchers decided to look into a form of renewable power that hasn't attracted as much attention: concentrating solar power (CSP), sometimes termed solar thermal power.
CSP involves the use of mirrors to focus sunlight onto a liquid, rapidly bringing it up to extremely high temperatures. The resulting heat can be used immediately to generate electricity, or some fraction of it can be stored and used to drive generators later. Depending on the details of the storage, CSP can typically generate electricity for at least eight hours after the Sun sets, and some plants have managed to produce power around the clock during the summer.
Typically, a CSP plant is optimized for a mixture of generation and storage. But the authors of the new paper note that it's possible to expand the area where the mirrors are located (called the "solar field") relative to its power block. This may be less efficient economically, but it allows the plant to start generating more power rapidly at the start of the day and continue to store heat at the same time as generating power.
To determine whether this sort of approach could allow CSP to provide better baseline power, the authors looked at three scenarios: a flat power demand, one based on the European Union (where demand peaks in winter evenings), and one based on California, where demand peaks during summer afternoons. They also looked at three different levels of plant optimization: none at all, optimization of layout and equipment based on economic considerations, and a regional optimization. In this last case, the layout of multiple sites are coordinated in order to provide the best baseline power output.
If this sort of regional coordination can be achieved—and the authors don't offer any suggestions as to how it could—then as few as 10 sites in southern Europe would be sufficient to provide 70 to 80 percent reliable baseline power at very little added cost. And that, the authors point out, is similar to the reliability of a typical nuclear plant. Looking at other regions of the globe, CSP would also provide similar performance in South Africa, but wouldn't be as effective in the US and India. The problem in these locations isn't the lack of good sites, it's that the weather at the best sites tends to be similar (ie, a cloudy day at one site will often be cloudy at the rest).
The more we're willing to spend on the CSP plants, the better optimized they can be, and the more reliable the power would be. But this gets into the biggest problem with CSP: it's expensive. While it was competitive with photovoltaic power a few years ago, the price of PV has plunged, while CSP's costs have only dropped slowly. We can expect continued declines in price, but it's likely to remain one of the pricier options.
That situation should sound familiar, because it's the same problem faced by offshore wind. Although the wind is much more reliable in offshore locations—and thus the power produced there is closer to a baseline quality—the cost of installing wind turbines in the ocean is significantly more expensive. The challenge here is that, once on the grid, the value of power generated by any source is treated equally, with no bonuses attached to the source being renewable or baseline.

An Indian walks into a trading post and asks for toilet paper. The clerk asks if he would like no name, Charmin, or White Cloud.
"White Cloud sounds like good Indian toilet paper," says the Indian. "How much is it?"
"$1.00 a roll," the clerk replies.
"That seems pretty expensive," responds the Indian. "What about the others?"
"Charmin is $2.00 a roll and no name is 50 cents a roll."
The Indian doesn't have much money so he opts for the no name.
Within a few hours he is back at the trading post. "I have a name for the no name toilet paper," he announces to the clerk. "We shall call it John Wayne."
"Why?" asks the confused clerk.
"Cause it's rough and it's tough and it don't take no crap off an Indian."

Divide each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it. –Descartes
Firmness in enduring and exertion is a character I always wish to possess. I have always despised the whining yelp of complaint and cowardly resolve. –Robert Burns

At some point, this moment had to come. I would have to open the laptop and relive Friday's painful loss to SFA in the NCAA Tournament's first round. (I will not abide by the NCAAs foolish round nomenclature. It isn't my problem they cannot count.) Even in distress, we must move forward. We must resolve.
You see, the way this normally works is that I pop open the laptop on the plane ride home and write out thoughts and notes from the game VCU just played. I match those thoughts to stats and the boxscore, and turn them into sentences the next day. I do this even after losses.

Yesterday the Chancellor announced, in his Autumn Statement, the proposed legislation regarding employment intermediaries and tax relief for travel and subsistence. This was as follows:
3.20 Employment intermediaries and tax relief for travel and subsistence – As confirmed at Summer Budget 2015, the government will legislate to restrict tax relief for travel and subsistence expenses for workers engaged through an employment intermediary, such as an umbrella company or a personal service company. Following consultation, relief will be restricted for individuals working through personal service companies where the intermediaries legislation applies. This change will take effect from 6 April 2016.
EdenGroup are awaiting the draft legislation due to be published on 9th December to find out exactly what the restrictions will be for workers through umbrella companies. These restrictions will also affect workers using their own limited companies that work through an agency.
Please be assured that nothing will change until April 2016, so until this date we will be providing the same service.
In the meantime we will be working with our advisors and agencies to keep all parties informed of changes and updates.
If you have any queries or concerns please contact us on 01276 688050 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

The bar to create a location-based app is apparently pretty low. License the business data (most of these apps appear to use similar data; it's similarly faulty), create an interface, and list it in the iTunes store. Many of these apps show all types of businesses, but I'm only looking at restaurants. (See our list of 9 restaurant apps that are worth downloading.)
1. Where To?
What does it do? "Surprise Me" jumps you to a random category for which you can see listings. "Any Restaurant" takes you to a list of all nearby. Or choose your own category.
How well does it work? The design is nice; the nav wheel is pretty cute. Surprise me is a nice idea, but it picks categories. First one I got was brunch, then Peruvian. Boston Market is in the pizza list. "All brands" reveals a big list of chains. The data overall seems very messy. There's a vacation rental in the top result for breakfast, gentlemen's club the Gold Club is marked as Canadian cuisine, while if you're looking for Finnish cuisine you get a coffeehouse.
Price: $2.99
2. Where
What does it do? Finds restaurants and other businesses at a specific location. Gets address (no hours), reviews, menu, and website. Has check-in feature, which posts your location to Twitter or Facebook. Special windows for the closest Starbucks and Zipcar locations.
How well does it work? It has editorial reviews and ratings, but the review for McDonald's on Potrero Ave says, "The intoxicating smell of golden fries cooked to crispy perfection and succulent burgers sizzling on the grill permeates the space while a lively chatting and munching crowd maintains a laidback vibe at this famous fast food haunt." Sponsored results are up at the top. Info is out of date. The search function is useless; I typed in "Rose Café" and an ice creamery, a hotel, and a nail spa were all ahead of the place I had in mind, Rose's Café.
Price: Free
3. Local Eats
What does it do? Finds restaurants at current location or by distance from a specified address. Gets directions, phone number, and website. Doesn't show hours. Offers coupons.
How well does it work? Refines only by cuisine, not price. Results don't seem very extensive and are focused on finer dining places. Ratings are from Wherethelocalseat.com; there are no actual reviews, though, just those rated "top 100" and "best," though you can't refine those listings; it's one long list of all the bests including places rated best barbecue, best small plates, best seafood.
Price: $0.99
4. Good Rec
What does it do? Finds restaurants at current location or searches for specific restaurants and specific locations. Shows the GoodRec reviews. Shows hours.
How well does it work? Detail pages are crammed too full. You can review thumbs-up or thumbs-down, add a quick tip, or mark a place as Want to Go. (All these features use fussy symbols: What's the Earth symbol for?) Bucks the trend by using static Yahoo maps (once you're on a detail page). You have to tap "get directions" to jump out to interactive Google maps.
Price: Free
5. Zagat To Go
What does it do? Searches and browses by neighborhood, cuisine, feature, ratings, and newness. Shows hours, maps, Zagat's ratings. You can email details and keep a favorites list.
How well does it work? It uses location but only in the vaguest sense; since I'm on the border of two neighborhoods, I have to browse through both lists to get all the close-by options. Advanced search lets you search multiple neighborhoods at once. Random quotes that show up when the app is loading a page are weird: something about food poisoning, aroma of roach spray, a little too out of context to be comfortable, understandable, or funny. They seem to have chosen the most attitude-filled, negative reviews for the quotes, which is disconcerting when you are looking for something that's actually good.
Price: $9.99
6. GrubHub
What does it do? Finds local restaurants that deliver. Filters results by type of food. Some of the restaurants offer online ordering; you tap items on a menu to add them to your order.
How well does it work? It took me a while to figure out that a restaurant had to have "open" and "online ordering" in the results to actually allow ordering at that very moment.
Price: Free
7. YP Mobile
What does it do? Browses Yellow Pages listings. Lets you read CitySearch reviews, get address and phone (sometimes shows hours). Lets you search nearby individual listings.
How well does it work? It's not clear what the hierarchy is in search results. There's no back button on browse results. Every time I choose a browsing selection it asks me whether I'm sure. No menus. Has a "My Plans" tab that is empty; not clear what I have to do in order to have plans.
Price: Free
8. Munch
What does it do? Browses for businesses in a specific area. Shows map, gives directions, lets you add to contacts or call.
How well does it work? Very basic. Has star ratings but they're not explained, not clear where they're from. Popular searches are listed in tabs at the bottom (not very obvious because of the bright yellow background on the rest of the screen). Doesn't show hours.
Price: Free
9. City Mint
What does it do? Finds restaurants that deliver to a specified address or offer pickup. You can order straight from the app and read reviews from Yelp.
How well does it work? Once you find a restaurant, it takes many, many taps to add items to your order.
Price: Free
10. Goodfood
What does it do? Uses GPS to search nearby, identify restaurants that can be filtered by price and cuisine. Can also search other locations. First step past list page shows a restaurant's recommendations (from GoodRec) as well as address and phone. Tap again to get more details, including hours and a link to reserve through Open Table if applicable.
How well does it work? The recommendations aren't dated so it's really not clear whether the reviews are recent or not. It's nice that the database includes taco trucks, which most of the other apps ignore. Results are ordered by their recommendations, rather than their nearness, which causes some confusion.
Price: Free
11. IWant
What does it do? Shows businesses near you. Detail pages offer directions, phone, Yelp reviews, and search nearby.
How well does it work? Only shows nearby, though you can widen the search radius and sort by rating or distance, or filter by cuisine. Full Yelp reviews are imported. Why wouldn't you just use the Yelp app?
Price: Free
12. Poynt
What does it do? Shows businesses nearby, or filters by location or cuisine. Detail pages show phone, address, website. Can email listings to friends.
How well does it work? Double listings for many places, because it shows Yellow Pages, Open Table, or Citysearch data (they're not combined).

Azzam Tamimi latest pro-Hamas voice to lose HSBC bank account
Just weeks after shutting down the bank accounts of several Islamist organisations, HSBC has now closed the bank account of Azzam Tamimi, an Islamist academic and a noted supporter of the terrorist organisation Hamas.
Tamimi revealed the news on his Twitter account:
Just back in London from a holiday in Jordan to find that @HSBC has closed my & my wife's bank accounts. @anasaltikriti says join the club
— Azzam Tamimi عزام (@AzzamTamimi) August 10, 2014
Azzam Tamimi is reported to be Hamas' "special envoy" to the UK. Tamimi was formerly the director of the Institute of Islamic Political Thought, a leading Muslim Brotherhood organisation. Tamimi claims that he has the "great honour to be close to Hamas" and that "all the leaders of Hamas are my friends". He has also spoken fondly of "the late Imam Khomeini" and the "great jihad" of Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad. In 2004, Tamimi told the BBC that he would become a suicide bomber if he "had the opportunity", describing self-sacrifice for Palestine as "a noble cause"
In July, HSBC shut the accounts of the Finsbury Park Mosque, as well as that of the Cordoba Foundation and its Director, Anas Al-Tikriti. As Stand for Peace previously noted, all these account holders had one thing in common: their support for the Muslim Brotherhood and its sister organisation, Hamas.
Anas Al-Tikriti has been described as "one of the shrewdest UK-based Brotherhood activists … [who] has sought to persuade Western governments that they should fund Brotherhood groups as moderate alternatives to al-Qaeda."
Tikriti has regularly hosted a program on the Arab TV satellite station, Al-Hiwar, which was founded by Azzam Tamimi.
In response to HSBC's closure of his bank account, Tikriti claimed that, "HSBC has targeted my family because of my activity in defence of Gaza against the barbaric aggression of the Zionists" and because of his efforts to "oppose the military coup in Egypt."
The Cordoba Foundation, which Tikriti heads, has been described by Prime Minister David Cameron, as a "political front for the Muslim Brotherhood." The Cordoba Foundation also works closely with the Emirates Centre for Human Rights, whose website was originally registered to Tikriti's wife, Malath Shakir, whose bank account was also shut down by HSBC. According to UAE media, the Emirates Centre for Human Rights is part of the global Muslim Brotherhood network.
Azzam Tamimi has been closely involved with the Cordoba Foundation. In 2008, Tamimi was part of a Cordoba Foundation panel along with Kemal Helbawi. Helbawi, who founded the Muslim Association of Britain, has proclaimed:
"Oh honoured brothers, the Palestinian cause is not a struggle on borders or on land only. Rather, it is an absolute clash of civilisations: a satanic programme led by the Jews and those who support them and a divine programme carried by Hamas and the Islamic Movement in particular and the Islamic peoples in general."
The Muslim Association of Britain (MAB), one of the better-known Muslim Brotherhood fronts in Britain, runs the Finsbury Park Mosque, which it took over with the help of the British Government after its previous Imam, the notorious hook-handed Abu Hamza, was arrested on terrorism charges. Anas Al-Tikriti was once closely involved with the mosque.
Azzam Tamimi helped lead the efforts to ensure MAB took control of the Finsbury Park mosque, and is a frequent speaker at its events.
The current officials running Finsbury Park Mosque include Mohammed Sawalha, described by a Brotherhood website as being "responsible for the political unit of the international Muslim Brotherhood in the UK." Sawalha is also "said to have masterminded much of Hamas's political and military strategy " out of London, as reported by the BBC.
In late June, HSBC also closed the accounts of the Ummah Welfare Trust, a leading British Islamist charity that has previously partnered with the Al Salah Islamic Association, described by the U.S. Treasury Department as "one of the largest and best-funded Hamas charitable organisations in the Palestinian territories." Senior Hamas officials have confirmed that Al Salah is "identified with us."
As Stand for Peace reported a few weeks ago, it is Hamas-linked extremism that links these individuals and groups together. HSBC's motives, however, remain unclear. Some have suggested that the British Government's review into the Muslim Brotherhood, which the Prime Minister is due to hear during the summer recess, might be already having some effect.

How To Choose Shapewear – Where To Start?
How to choose shapewear is the most common question I get asked. Choosing the right piece of shapewear can be really tricky. Before you start looking I always think it is a good idea to ask yourself these questions:
- Are you worried by what brand your shapewear is made by? I actually think that it is best not to worry about the brand. By leaving this out of any filtering process you might come up with some interesting and possibly cheaper alternatives!
- Do you know what style of shapewear you are wanting? It might be a good idea to look at my Shapewear Styles page which clearly shows you what each style looks like. If you are not sure just move on to question 3.
- What sort of coverage on your body are you wanting? Have a look at my Shapewear Coverage page to see which coverage looks like the right one for you. Do you need top to toe slimming, or are you just wanting something that covers your hips, thighs and bum? This is a really important one to get right and it will depend on both your outfit and what you are trying to slim the most. The most popular coverage is mid thigh to midriff but do bear in mind that this coverage cannot be worn with really short skirts or backless dresses.
- Slimming strength. Are you looking for something that is smoothing that you can eat, breathe and bend in, or are you looking for the full works which will be really really tight and might be a tad uncomfortable?
- What is your budget? Quite straightforward. I've put the shapewear into 4 price brackets that should help to eliminate too cheap or too expensive.
- What colour do you want? This depends on taste and your outfit. If you are wearing a light coloured outfit then light coloured materials will be best. If you are wearing all black then go for black. Natural/neutral colours should work with pretty much any outfit.
- Are their any special features that you need from your shapewear? Strapless, seamless, opening gusset? There are lots to choose from.
Once you have figured out the answer to these questions, go to my Shapewear Search page and stick in your answers. Hopefully you will get a good selection of shapewear to read about.
Happy Shapewear Shopping x

Two Points of View
When a man turns from the sin and folly of the past, and is determined upon nothing short of a new life, a life of righteousness and truth, he soon becomes intensely eager that others should join with him in the Divine quest. This feeling is natural and praiseworthy, but nothing is more certain than this, unless he has a clear understanding of the true relation between the Divine on the one hand and humanity on the other, he will be destitute of the Great Peace. Should he have money he may spend it lavishly; he may feed swarms of starving men and women; he may pull down streets of wretched tenements, replacing these with comfortable dwellings.
Determined upon the suppression of crime, he may devote all his time, energy, and money in lighting the monster in the slums of our great cities. He may do all these things and still be disheartened and distressed beyond measure. He discovers that much of his wealth has gone hopelessly, and with a result he but little expected; he has not really helped the people, he has pauperized them. He is like a man fighting flames that may not be extinguished, and after heroic struggles is forced to sit on one side watching the devouring fire he could not quench.
In the case assumed, the man may be satisfied with his own efforts, apart altogether from their actual results; he may be well aware that he is making real spiritual progress; he may find self-conquest become easier; but, no sooner does satisfaction arise in his mind over his own advancement, and he thinks with complacency of the work he has actually done, than there stands before him the appalling condition of the people. In his efforts that have socially been most successful he finds vice less coarse and brutal, but vice still. Acting on a wrong understanding of the relationship between the Divine and the man, he imagines an angry, jealous and impatient God on the one hand, who must be propitiated, and that "right away"; and on the other, man "born in sin, and shapen in iniquity," with only this short life in which to reform, in which to conquer unfavorable environment, or obtain victory over conditions of evil. With such views—and this is the low earthly view, alas! all too common—how can the worker be other than discouraged? How can he help despondency? Is he not face to face with the spectacle of thousands dying daily in sin, misery, and crime? How then can the Great Peace be such a man's portion?
Briefly let me sketch some lines of thought regarding the Divine and Man that, if realized, will most certainly permit the Great Peace to dwell in the heart. Try and regard it as a reasonable hypothesis that the soul is a growing, an evolving entity. There are very few learned or well-read people who now deny the evolution of form. And we can boldly say, that there is no argument in favor of the evolution of form that does not equally apply to the evolution of soul. Think how mind has evolved from what it must have been amongst the cave-dwellers of prehistoric times to what it is now. The forward march of mentality is the forward march of the soul. Accept this as reasonable, and one then sees that not one life but many is man's destiny; and keeping a watchful eye on the history of humanity in the past, even as we know it, we find progression, not retrogression. Boys go to school, but never did one term complete any lad's education. Neither can one short life do more than help us along one stage of the journey.
Having arrived at the status of man as an evolving soul, try now to realize the Divine as infinite in Love, Resource and Patience. How can that which is infinite Love be angry or jealous?
Think of Time as being swallowed up in eternity; and then stand with me for a moment where the "Angels stand," and let us look again upon this earth with all its gloom and throes of agony. The clouds, that were dark and forbidding from the other point of view, behold now, how glorious in coloring! How exquisite in form! And who are those emerging with shouts of gladness from out this splendid envelope that covers all the earth? They are perfected souls, made whole through discipline and suffering. Sorrow, the fruit of all sin and desire, has purified their minds, experience has taught them; they have turned from their wickedness, selfishness and folly, and now LIVE.
Here we have the two points of view: the one from the earth, influenced by ignorance and misconception; the other from outside the earth plane, influenced by the knowledge of the evolving character of the soul, and the absolute perfection of Divine and Natural Law.
As we realize the ultimate "restitution of all things," universal salvation, the Patience and Infinite Love and Wisdom that never forsakes humanity, we recognize that the discipline of the universe is perfect, and needs no amendment. We see that All is well, and that our previous undue anxieties were based on ignorance, not knowledge. Our faith changes into certitude, and the Great Peace that may never be shaken or destroyed settles down upon us and abides in us. We learn that humanity is not dying as we once thought, but is growing ever and marching on to the perfect glory of the Eternal Light.
The Soul, the star beyond it in the deep
Of Nature's calm.

Hello Everyone,
Today is our birthday! Our company was formed 11 years ago right after the 9/11 tragedy... and in honor of this day I would like to do something I've never done before... Enter the code "birthday" and you will receive 50% off all CD's! But you have to purchase before Friday the 14th...
The experiment of life has been carried on for millennia. The cycle becoming arduous, it is time to break the cycle to return to wholeness. How do we do this? That is the million-dollar question. Once one has become exhausted trying out all that life has to offer, when there is nothing left to experience, when every pleasure has turned into pain and you are able to reflect and understand this truth, then it is time to turn your desire from life to eternity. Experiencing your true nature is transformative, once experienced the desire to experience again and to abide in your true nature becomes all-consuming. Meditation is the key to experiencing the true self.
Questioner: What is real in reference to the past?
Reality is seeing things as they are with no elaboration, no thought, therefore no mind, this can happen only in the present. Once the mind steps in you are either in the past or the future, in the past with your memories or in the future with your thoughts (based on your memories, beliefs and conditioning), therefore you've stepped out of the present moment, stepped out of reality (what is).
When we speak of history it is just that, his story, a story based on someone's perception of events. If he was to relay the information as it actually was - not through the lens of beliefs and conditioning – but in actuality it would be impossible, because in the telling, thought has entered the game. As we know thought (future) cannot happen without memories (past). We have again stepped out of reality the present.
The present is all there is… the past and future exist only in the mind…
Summer is here and I have an amazing program scheduled for young adults ages 16 - 21. The Youth Yoga Teachers Training Course, this course allows you to deepen your practice, become certified instructors and be a light to the world. I always encourage everyone to take a yoga certified course whether they would like to teach or just for their well being, as it teaches concepts about life that are more valuable for day to day living than you can imagine. I've even made this course mandatory for my children who are now 14 and 18. It's a great time in life to learn about living; most of us think living is just surviving, but it's important to learn and understand that it's so much more than that. Through yoga you will gain the skills to move forward in your evolutionary progression, get the most out of life and enjoy your moments. It's not good enough to merely survive, that's a half life. Life is meant to be enjoyed as well, and this can only happen if you have the understanding and skills to really live life. To get the most out of life is an art, this is what we teach in our course.

Nissan LEAF is one of the top three 2016 passenger cars in Norway
- The Nissan LEAF is the third best-selling passenger car and the number one electric vehicle (EV) in Norway in 2016
- Sales of the Nissan LEAF in Norway have grown significantly since last year
- 2,450 units have been sold in 2016 so far, an increase of 58.7 percent compared with the same period last year
- The model retains its position as the best-selling EV of all time with over 224,000 sales worldwide
OSLO, Norway – New figures show that so far in 2016, the Nissan LEAF is not only the world's best-selling electric vehicle (EV), but also the third best-selling passenger car overall in Norway.
There are already close to 25,000 Nissan LEAFs on Norwegian roads, and sales in the country are growing rapidly, with 2,450 units sold so far in 2016 – an increase of 58.7 percent compared with the same period last year. These figures come after Nissan announced sales of 16,916 electric cars in Europe for the 2015 to 2016 fiscal year, a new annual record.
When the new Nissan LEAF 30 kWh went on sale in Norway earlier this year, Nissan released a stunning short film revealing the new LEAF emerging from a block of ice in breathtaking Norefjell, Norway.
Nissan made an early commitment to zero emission technology, recognizing it as a sustainable, practical transport solution. Nissan has supported 100 percent electric mobility since 2010, long before competitors entered the market, introducing the Nissan LEAF as the world's first mass-market electric car and the e-NV200, a practical and versatile all-electric commercial vehicle.
Norway has one of the largest EV markets in Europe, with EVs accounting for 15 percent of new car sales so far in 2016. Nissan has supported the development of quick charging infrastructure for EVs in Norway, partnering with supermarket chain, KIWI, to install 50 quick chargers at their stores throughout the country.
"Norway is spearheading the switch to sustainable mobility, and we're delighted that the Nissan LEAF continues to be ranked as one of the most popular vehicles in the country," said Gareth Dunsmore, director of Electric Vehicles, Nissan Europe. "Nissan has been at the forefront of the electric vehicle movement since the introduction of the Nissan LEAF in 2010, and with its third generation now available, we are confident that we will retain a leading position in the ever-expanding EV market."
Launched in Europe earlier this year, the Nissan LEAF 30 kWh delivers up to 250 km* of driving range on a single charge – a 26 percent increase on its predecessor. Coupled with its low running costs, spaciousness, innovative technology and safety features, the Nissan LEAF offers a fun, practical, zero emission mobility solution for all.

In the meantime I also wanted to share with you in one blog post what I made for Easter, cookie wise, of course.
First set of cookies cookies you see above I made for a local Bake Sale that support Bucks County Homeless Shelter. Believe it or not Summer is their toughest season and they need supplies for their food pantry. My friend Linda puts together a bake sale few times a year and I'm happy to contribute with my baked goods and help out at the stand as well. It is a wonderful cause. We often forget that there are people in need, just around the corner.
Watch me how I decorate these adorable Easter Cookies
Second set of cookies I made for our friend Tracy, who is a nurse and I wanted to do something for her and her crew at work. I actually wanted to make Bunny Nurse cookies for several years but it always somehow was too late or something. With a cute little tag I think these turned out really adorable. What do you think?
I used clear bags to package my cookies, I also sealed the bags with my heat sealer and then I attached this cute little tag. How cute is that?
Easter Bunny Cookies for all the Eggcellent Nurses. Thank you.
This last Bunny Design I borrowed, with permission, from a talented artist Jesi, you can find more of her work on etsy, in her shop. I love how bright and happy these turned out.

2016, oh the memories! Some people say it's not good to look back to see what's gone, but taking a glimpse at what's been helps us see how far we've come and what's changed both for better or worse. So here's what went down in 2016, let's see how it shapes 2017 shall we?
I popped my Richmond Park wild camp cherry on Jan 16th, and boy was it cold!! First sunrise of the year was a pretty incredible one too!
Oh this is pretty epic, I spoke at The Telegraph outdoor show. This set the tone for the year!
Thinking Feb couldn't get any more exciting we hit up the Alps for a weeks skiing with Crystal ski. I've fallen in love with Tignes and cannot wait to return once the snow has gone for some mountain bike action…
Wow, I forgot about some of this! We went to Snowdonia for Llanberis Film Festival as we helped promote the festival through social media, got hosted by the lovely Jason Rawles and even got out briefly to the mountains too!
The end of March saw Easter come around so we took a few days out to go cycling in Cheshire, and very randomly met two friends from London town in a tiny village 300 miles from home!
We got all grown up, or at least we tried…
I then got a little serious and took the boys for a canal adventure. It snowed, rained, we got frozen and Paul went for a swim! Strangely without being under the influence ….. Reading to Bath was an awesome journey, one I'd love to do in the summer!
Well, I attempted to run across the widest part of the UK, Lands End to Lowestoft. Sadly seven days and 200 miles in I pulled my Achilles tendon. I took so many positives from this trip, I totally had my pack weight sorted and took utterly minimal clothing, this journey is going to be finished in 2017.
Stood at Lands end just before setting off on a 400 mile run, as you do…
The month of cycling, and topping up training for a team we then took on the three peaks in July. Training walks included Seven Sisters and a loop in the Chilterns, Wendover to be exact! With plenty of help from OS maps #GetOutside.
Three peaks weekend took up our time, our full team was three mini buses deep with 18 people, somehow we still managed to bring them over the line in the 24 hours..
Hold on! Before we flew out I laid down some speaking action at Tales of Adventure in London town.
End of July, it was time for some feet up rest time! So, yeah of course we went to Corsica for a two week camping/beach holiday!
This was such a well deserved break. Don't get me wrong we still ran, kayaked and swam everyday, but, it was the lazy days in the heat, sitting at the beach shack with a cool beer watching the day unfold that made the holiday. It really reset ourselves, gave us time out to think and get our head straight as to what really matters to us, I hope you'll see this come about over the coming months and years… Neither of us wanted to leave this place, I could happily go back to walk the formidable GR20 next time I think though.
August, well what a treat! The cycling continued, I'd been hosting Tales of Adventure all year and it was about time we took it outdoors, which was an amazing evening! We got all adulty again for the bank holiday doing the full weekend party at Southwest Four festival.
I tried a wetsuit on, It didn't fit. Tobias Mews became our personal camping equipment carrier and I presented The National Trust South West Outdoor Festival in Devon, it was amazing, simply awesome!
We didn't stay in these tents but it was an incredible valley to spend a weekend in, Thanks so much to The National Trust!
Autumn's now here and I tend to get move active when it cools down! We got our obligatory exploring the area walk in, met a local artist on route, ran a 10K, did some presenting and even got a ski show in too! What the photos don't show is I spent lots of my time in the pool learning to swim, the bulk of my efforts in 2017 will be focused in this direction.
We are supporting Crystal Ski for the 2017 season, so ended up at the Telegraph Ski & Snowboard show, which was awesome, I'm so excited to be hitting the slopes with them in 2017. We've been using their App to manage our payments and keep an update on the conditions on piste too!
I took another step in the presenting & compere world and became the race MC for Cancer Research Tough Ten races, which I utterly loved but is really hard flipping work! Thank goodness it was only a 10K!
You made it this far! Deep breath now just a few more photos and we're into 2017! I started my speaking series with Ibex Earth and our first guest Kate Rawles who is currently cycling South America on a bamboo bike! Our venue The Library was a sell out – all 120 tickets sold, we'll be repeating this is 2017 so watch this space!
November felt quiet, planning and gathering ourselves for 2017 was in full swing. We did manage a long walk in Surrey and a days mountain biking in Swinley forest.. Our love of MTB is quickly over spilling as the year came to an end!
Mountain biking and big sky & sunsets were the order of December, I've regressed 10 years and now have a MTB, I'm settling into my spiritual off road home again nicely too, the new Trek is a joy to ride and it's going to see some adventure this coming year I promise you that!
We managed to get out for a boxing day family walk which was stunning, and then did a 40K off road MTB through the Surrey Hills on New Years Eve before meeting the family on Richmond park to watch the city's fire works display from a hilltop, this is the third year we've done this, it's a bit of a "thing" now…
Looking back I thought I'd been really lazy and quiet this year but we've really settled into our new home right on the edge of Surrey, we took or first "beach holiday" I turned my hand to speaking and more importantly presenting & compering which is shaping up well for 2017. 2016 very much felt like a year focusing on us and doing what makes us happy; as you can see from the year, that's being outside, preferably on bikes in the woods!
The end of 2016 saw us team up with Ordnance Survey as #GetOutside champions so 2017 we'll be doing just that and setting some challenges to inspire you all to #GetOutside to as many places as possible via multiple types of transport all over the UK, and to give you advice, hints & tips to do this safely. After all the best thing you can take on an adventure or journey is your knowledge & skills.
Thanks for checking out the blog, I hope to share my adventures with you in 2017 and I hope you do the same with me. Lastly, I stumbled across this quote at an event a few months ago it was simple but profound, thanks for reading. Here's to 2017.
" Nothing changes, if nothing changes"

Remembering 'Big Boy': Community holds walk to honor 'murdered' elk... as charges may be filed this week against the cop who shot him.
A Colorado community shaken by the loss of their beloved elk held a walk to honor the creature while accusing the local police department of cruelly misusing their authority.
Several dozen residents of Boulder marched in a silent protest on Sunday, some blaring elk calls on their outstretched cell phones.
The elk, who's affectionately known as 'Big Boy,' was shot dead by police officer Brent Curnow, who was later revealed to be the operator of a taxidermy website.
Big Boy's death fueled massive public outcry after the officer claimed the elk was injured and he shot it to put the animal out of its misery, a claim neighbors in the Mapleton Hill area deny.
'We're concerned about the larger culture of misconduct that needs to be addressed in order for taxpaying voters to regain trust in the department,' a resident involved in the walk told CBS Denver.
The officers were later identified as Curnow and Sam Carter, who have been suspended pending the results of an internal probe.
On January 4, Boulder Police Chief Mark Beckner tweeted: 'Two officers involved in Elk shooting incident have been placed on Admin Leave w/pay pending the outcome of investigations.'
CBS Denver reported that the district attorney is preparing to file charges against the police officer who shot the famous elk.
The walk was the latest in a series of events for Big Boy. Last week, the community held a candlelight vigil in his honor.
The massive creature was described as their 'guardian' by some.
Curnow has been with the department for 14 years, according to the Boulder Daily Camera.
The officer, who is facing a criminal investigation by Colorado Parks and Wildlife, failed to report the kill. The Daily Camera revealed that Curnow also owns a taxidermy website.

Nothing of Interest
The big change in EVE last year was a new range of player owned space stations, so my Corporation built one. It's a robot factory called "Nothing of Interest" orbiting the innermost moon of a gas giant, a pretty spot.
Editing the spreadsheet to take account of the various advantages not renting factory space provides has been tricky, but if I've got it right the green lights say we are in for a profitable year. Assuming no one decides to blow it up that is.

The waitress placed a steak knife on the table, and everyone's eyebrows went up. No one had ordered steak. There was an appetizer course coming. We didn't need a steak knife.
"It's for the mushrooms," she explained.
The restaurant was Balena in Chicago, a soaring room in Lincoln Park across the street from the Steppenwolf Theater. It serves the Italian food that is invariably called rustic but that is really refined: house-cured salumi, wood-fired pizzas, involved pastas and rotisserie meats.
The mushrooms arrived: a deep pile of creminis, roasted and cream-slicked, on top of a wide slab of grilled rye bread. Golden ribbons of caramelized onion peeked out from beneath them. The whole plate seemed to gleam.
Eyebrows went up around the table again. In New York, an appetizer like this would have been the size of an iPhone. Here it resembled a strip steak. Pair it with a watercress salad, and you have a meal in itself.
Which is just what the plan is now: Balena's bruschetta for dinner, as April's showers give way to the loamy scent of May and fresh, wildish mushrooms start popping up at markets courtesy of cultivators and foragers alike. It is a supersize take on a grand old French recipe, champignons à la crème, served on toast.
Balena's chef and one of its owners, Chris Pandel, a son of Chicago who served his apprenticeship in New York cooking for Andrew Carmellini at Café Boulud, gave me the recipe. Extensive experimentation in a Brooklyn home kitchen suggests the dish can be made almost as well as his cooks pull it off in Chicago, though if you have access to a wood-burning oven in which to roast the mushrooms, you may well match the original for smokiness.
Start by making the caramelized onions. These take a great deal of time. As Tom Scocca wrote in Slate some time ago, "Browning onions is a matter of patience." Scocca was sick of recipes that did not make this point. His article was a rant against recipe writers who do not tell the truth: "Soft, dark brown onions in five minutes. That is a lie. Fully caramelized onions in five minutes more. Also a lie." The onions here, barely slicked with neutral oil, surrounded by sweet wine, can take up to 30 minutes to achieve the excellence you are looking for. You stir and stir and stir.
"The simple things always take a lot of time," Pandel said. "But it's worth it for the nuttiness you get at the end, when the onions begin to turn toward dark."
Mushrooms next: Agaricus bisporus, the common mushrooms known at various points of their growth as white or button mushrooms, or champignons. These become creminis or baby bellas as they grow. Eventually they are portobellos. Handle them with care, whatever their name. "It's important to learn how to clean mushrooms without really getting them wet," Pandel said. You can get most of the dirt off them with your fingers, brushing their caps and stems softly. If water is necessary, make it ice-cold and use it sparingly, then dry the mushrooms quickly and gently with a paper towel.
Pan-roasting the mushrooms takes nearly as much time as the onions. The process is fascinating. The mushrooms absorb the cooking fats almost immediately, then exude it after their water has been evaporated by the heat. (Be careful not to overcrowd them in the pan.) Like the onions, they will eventually begin to caramelize and achieve a velvety texture. Shallots and thyme add depth to the mushrooms. Cream only adds to this effect. You want a loose mixture. It should look rich as sin.
For the toast, Pandel uses rye from a recipe by Balena's former bread maker, Peter Becker. It is substantial and sour, impressively dense, and holds up brilliantly to the fire in their grill. Its taste is a perfect counterpoint to the sweetness of the onions, the mushrooms, the cream. Still, a store-bought version toasted beneath the broiler worked exceedingly well at home. Make sure that you slice it thick, so that the bread has bulk enough to hold up to its topping.
I served one or two pieces per person alongside a thatch of watercress dressed sparingly with vinaigrette, and you may wish to do the same — though smaller, New York-style portions would work as appetizers if you prefer. The steak knife is necessary in only the first case.
Endeavor, whatever you do, to cook the food for someone attractive. Champignons à la crème has magical powers, Jane Grigson intimates in her invaluable guide to fungi cookery, "The Mushroom Feast," published in 1975. Grigson recalls a grand old French film featuring Françoise Rosay as a wealthy, older woman conspiring with her maid to seduce a handsome, younger man. How? The maid cooks champignons à la crème for dinner. And that, Grigson wrote, was the end for him.
"I am not sure which was the major attraction," she writes. "Probably, being a French film, the mushrooms — together they were irresistible."

More Than 200 Graffiti Artists Turned 23 De Maio Avenue In São Paulo Into A Work Of Art
São Paulo is getting more beautiful. And the graffiti mural on 23 de Maio, which is a wonderful and one of the busiest avenues in São Paulo, just help the city to become more and more handsome.
More than 15 thousand square meters of graffiti were painted by more than 200 artists who participated in the design of one of the greatest runners of urban art in Latin America.
Just take a look of the photographs that I took of the arts that adorn the walls: colors, characters, surreal scenes, fun, philosophy, protest, and love. A pride of São Paulo. Congratulations to all artists!

Lesson's learnt:
- Tape before siliconing - then rip it off before it skins!!!
- A nextdoor neighbour that can tile and is a sparky is a lot of help! Thanks Sam!
- 900mmx900mm shower tray, which is built in behind the wall for extra waterproofness will not fit a 900mmx900mm shower screen!!!!
What we definitely did right (Tarzan's dad got right anyway, phew) was to have the forethought to put extra timber behind the walling in preparation for attaching things to the wall. ie. wall hung vanity, shower screen, towel rails, etc.
A general list of the whole process:
- Remove old bath, flooring (vinyl), old fixtures (the taps were so old and unconventional the building inspector said to send them to a museum haha), and remove all the walls.
- Put in extra studs a joist under the bathroom had been cut to accommodate the drain of the old bath (dangerous!) so we had to fix that up with a new joist
- Sort out the plumbing
- Lay down tile underlay on floor
- Set in shower base
- Re-wall with villaboard
- plaster wall joins
- Apply waterproofing membrane
- Tile the floor and walls
- Paint paint paint
- Attach wall hung vanity and shower screen
- SILICONE EVERYTHING! or it felt like it anyway
- Install the exhaust fan, light, heat combo
- Seal the tiles
- Put the bathroom door back on
What was Hugo doing the whole time? Shnoozing

Fort William hosted one of the biggest off-road events of the year last weekend as 800 mountain bikers headed to 'Ten under the Ben'.
This ten hour off-road endurance race is now in its 12th year, attracting riders from all across the UK and beyond. Ayr Burners Cycling QTS were represented in the pairs competition by husband and wife JP and Jo Baxter. Good recent conditions ensured that the technical trails would be fast and dry, with the Burners duo pacing consistently with laps of the 10 mile course taking just over the 1 hour mark.
After a gruelling ten hours the Ayr Burners pair finished in an impressive 4th place overall in the mixed pairs competition.
This weekend The Burners head for the 'Ayrshire Alps' for a social ride through some of the best scenery SW Scotland has to offer. There will be some timed sections along the way to keep riders on their toes with points up for grabs in the ABC Strava Ride series. Full details can be found at www.ayrburners.org

There are a number of styles of Theatre ranging from Theatre of cruelty to Commedia dell'Arte. There are three different styles in which the three directors wanted to go for. .
The first style is absurdism.
Theatre of the absurd is believed to be originated in the 1940's and evolved up until the 1960's.
Here is a quote that I have found that states what Theatre of the absurd is:
A form of drama that emphasizes the absurdity of human existence by employing disjointed, repetitious, and meaningless dialogue, purposeless and confusing situations, and plots that lack realistic or logical development.
(Farlex, 2003)
This is stating that Absurd Theatre is hard to follow as it has no plot. Scenes may be repeated. Personally, I feel that this is to keep some form of consistency during the performance. I personally feel that this form has a slight sense of surrealism, as it states in the (Posted, 2013) (History.com, no date) quote, it lacks the realistic side of the performance, and has no development with logic.
The idea of Theatre of the Absurd is that the play will dictate the structure of the performance. The language that is used to generally dislocated, full of cliches and puns, which, as I mentioned earlier is repeated throughout the play. This style of Theatre declined in mid 1960's
Poor Theatre:
Referring to Nicola Mezza's presentation on prezi, and Britannica online, I have been able to find out and discuss what poor Theatre is and know why it is used.
Poor Theatre began with the Polish playwright Jerzy Grotowski in the 1960's. He believed that Theatre would never be able to compete with media, so it should never attempt to. Grotowski also wanted the performers and spectators to have a relationship during the performance, as he believed it would be more intimate for all parties. The aim of poor Theatre is to eliminate the barrier between audience and performers, thus creating communication between the two. The influences that caused this movement in Theatre was, paratheatre and Theatre of transformation.
In this time, spaces dedicated for Theatre were changed for deserted rooms and buildings. The performers of poor Theatre are able to communicate through sound and movement. Poor Theatre is aimed to use the simplest form of staging, lighting, costumes and special effects. Symbolism was the main form of poor Theatre.
- Image citation:
- ([CSL STYLE ERROR: reference with no printed form.])
- (Theatre links, 2016)
I am aware that I spoke of the postmodernist era in the period of the production, however it is the style which I am now going to be talking about. It is believed that postmodernist Theatre is superseded of modernism. It challenges accepted views on the world. The narrative is generally broken and paradoxical.
Postmodern plays would use technology as scenery and use backdrops in the history of times that are being performed which would give the audience a better understanding. Also some smaller Theatres would perform outside. The audience would participate with performers creating an experience together. The majority of the issues tackled in postmodern Theatre are created from history, culture and social issues.It is believed that postmodern Theatre rejects chronological linearity, meaning that what happens at the beginning of a story, is not what essentially happens on stage.
