I did not forget last week's post. I've often noticed in my own novel planning sessions that scene summaries take the longest time. So I thought I better use the extra week to put the necessary amount of detail into it. Now we're in Week 5. This should be all about plot and theme.
If you've been working away these last two weeks you will have a decent idea by now on what your story is about. In this week, we will try and give some structure to your story. We will try and space out your big scenes evenly throughout the novel, and we'll make sure that all your small scenes add up to the big scenes, that each big scene leads the reader onto the next, that your climax packs a punch…in short, we will try and put your story into something resembling a plot.
There are many definitions of plot, but the most practical one is that it's the way your story develops. Now if you're new to plotting and if you have no idea where to begin, this is a good time to read up on the 'Three Act Structure'. This works on the theory (right or not) that human beings live life in three acts, and therefore they expect by instinct for their stories to be in three acts too. Almost all plays and all movies that you've ever watched conform to this structure, and though literature has more transgressors in this respect, a vast majority of classic novels were written in three acts. So the least you could do is read up on it and see if you could rearrange your novel accordingly.
The other thing you should be thinking right about now is theme. Stephen King said that if you were going to write a book worth three hundred pages, it better be about something. Now that you have character notes and scene summaries and so on, you should have a fair understanding of what that 'something' is. Now, of course, we're all meaning seeking animals, so nothing means only one thing. Now would be the time to ask questions such as: "What do I want my reader to take away from this book?" Even if your novel is a tight hostage thriller which has no room for emotions, you may want to spend some time thinking if that is all your novel is about. Or is there some deeper meaning that you would like to convey? Better still, is there some deeper meaning hidden within your notes?
If you don't find anything, don't beat yourself up about it. But if you do find some recurring theme or image that holds your work together, make sure you bring it out and reinforce it. Of course, it goes without saying here that you should not beat your reader on the head with it. Go for subtlety, understatement and misdirection. Always better than going: "Oh, look, here's a red thread in my garland. Do ya know what that means? Do ya? Here, let me tell you."
If we do this for this week, from next week onwards we're ready to start writing.
(This may be presumptuous of me, but some of you may be wondering why my blogging rate has dropped so considerably. That happens when I am in the middle of a book. There's hardly time for anything else.)

The first steps have been taken by Paston PCC to give new life to St Margaret's, a beautiful church full of historical interest and features, but which has been a building at risk and currently under-used.
Phase 1 – repairs. Now substantially completed
The first stage has been to get the the church put into good repair to preserve it for generations to come, together with its features, notably medieval wall paintings and Paston family memorials.
The main and most important repairs were firstly to reduce the damp by installing guttering under the thatched roof to collect rainwater and take it away to soak-aways in a corner of the churchyard, secondly to stablise the south wall of the nave which has been leaning into the churchyard
The repair works started July 2013 and were completed by April 2014. This was the essential first phase of our project, without which we would not be able to carry out the rest of it.
The south wall of the nave was coming away from the rest of the building. To fix this the buttresses on the south side of the nave were re-built. They had been erected when Elizabeth I was on the throne, and have been re-built exactly as they were, each each piece of stone- work having been numbered and put back where it had been, and solid rather than hollow. Steel rods have been inserted into the south side stonework of the chancel arch
To remedy the damp the walls were all re-pointed with lime mortar which "breathes" rather than the cement mortar which was trapping damp in the walls. A new drainage system has been installed with guttering under the roof to stop rain blowing onto the walls and to take it right away from the building . The main benefit of this is that reducing the damp in the nave north wall should halt the deterioration in our medieval wall paintings
Lady Katherine Paston's early 17th C memorial in the chancel was largely dismantled and re-erected. Our expert Dr David Carrington had found it to be in danger of collapse due to the iron rods holding it to the wall having rusted and split the stonework.
And last but not least some holding conservation work has now being done on the wall paintings by Dr Andrea Kirkham. We hope to raise funds for the full restoration job to be carried through with the second phase in the project (see below).
The need for rods in the chancel arch had an unexpected side result that the workmen found themselves looking at some more previously undiscovered medieval wall paintings and this part of the project will now also involve uncovering and stabilising them. The new paintings are just discernible and show, an angel with curly hair swinging a sensor and some symbols of the Passion, which we're told are most unusual.
Phase 2 – installation of facilities and re-ordering, getting under way.
Having put the church into reasonable repair and removed the risk of any structural collapse the PCC are progressing a project to do what is needed to enable it to be used –
- In its traditional role, for regular worship, baptisms, weddings and funerals.
- For meetings and events like concerts, lectures, exhibitions and village meetings – as at present but much more – and not just for Paston but for the whole neighbourhood.
- As an attraction for people who want to see a historic Grade 1 listed church with medieval wall paintings, who are interested in the Paston family, local history and ecology, as a base for Natural England's bat tours, and everything else the church and its enviorons have to offer.
We shall be raising funds for installing water and facilities and to to reorder and remove some pews to make more space in the nave, add kitchen and toilet facilities. This we regard as the second phase of the project. With a view to meeting the wish lists of people living in Paston and the various local organisations involved a committee has been meeting and considering the various options. The committee, under the chairmanship of Philip Burton comprises members of the Paston Parish Council, Parochial Church council, Heritage Society and various other people who have an interest in the church.
Our plans have been shown to all the bodies we are required to consult and have been inspected by the Diocese committee who oversee works or changes to church buildings. They have agreed the plans informally and we have now lodged the formal application for a faculty. When we have that we shall finalise the details. Meanwhile we are fundraising. One component of the necessary funding has been the recent sale off the site of the former village hall.
The existing vestry is to be demolished. A kitchen and toilet are being put at the West end of the nave, the rearmost pews are to be removed or rearranged, and the font is to be re-positioned in the middle of the nave.
If you would like to help us by kindly making a donation to the restoration fund the best and easiest way is when you visit by putting a cheque or cash in the secure donations box.

Childcare: It's a vexed issue. Do you? Don't you? And if you manage to get beyond the initial loaded question of whether to put your kids in care then there's a whole barrage of other issues waiting for you. With the amount of parental guilt and logistical nightmares that come your way when tackling the issue of childcare you'll need to invest in shares in L'Oreal to cover your hair dye bill or resolve yourself to going grey gracefully.
So you've decided to put your child into care. Let's hope that you actually stuck them down on every single waiting list in your area the day you peed on a stick. We put our middle child's name down on 15 waiting lists. 15! When the time came that we actually needed care only 2 centres had places and we were told we only just scraped into them.
With childcare timing is everything. January is the month that child care places are most likely to be available. So you've decided you want to have 12 months off after the birth of your child? Better make sure they were born in January then. And too bad if you're one of many who can't get pregnant at the exact time you want to. If your baby is born in June you've got buckleys and none of picking up a spot when they turn 1. It's in the middle of the year! Your 12 months leave may soon be turning into an unexpected 18.
When you've had a baby you're more emotional. Hormones are racing through your body and there's this amazing little person who has wrapped themselves around your heartstrings pretty darn quickly. So what happens when you're one of the lucky few to actually get called up and offered a child care place quickly – before you're even actually physically or emotionally ready to go back to work? How tough is your decision when you're not ready to leave your little one but you're told that if you refuse the position being offered to you they'll actually put you right back down at the bottom of their waiting list. So you're shoved into the modern dilemma of going back to work and securing a place for your child or playing roulette and hoping another spot becomes available later when you're actually ready for it.
Congratulations! You've been offered a place and you've decided to take it up. I hope you've been saving your pennies! 4 weeks bond and 2 weeks in advance is not uncommon. Yep we're potentially talking $1000-$3000 required before you even get to start making a dollar back at work. This hurdle alone may be responsible for making childcare effectively inaccessible to many parents every year even if they could get a spot.
So your child has finally made it to primary school age and you think all your childcare issues are behind you. Welcome to school hours. Oh 9 to 3 how we love your incompatibility with office hours! Bring on the waiting lists once more – before and after care here we come. If you can get it – if you can't you're begging for reduced working hours and wondering at what age you can responsibly let your child walk home on their own and how long they can be left on their own for. At least when they reach high school your free of the care dilemma right but even though high-schoolers mightn't need minding as such now we're being told that kids actually need more parental involvement and not less when they're teenagers.
One of the cornerstones of feminism is the ability of women to be economically independent. But for many this cannot happen without childcare. Yet sometimes childcare can be inaccessible or a logistical nightmare trying to create an arrangement that can work for your family. It is also an emotional roller coaster trying to do what's best for yourself and your child/ren. It's easy to see why and how it can be put in the too hard basket and why more and more women seem to be choosing to stay at home or work part-time.
Time and time again politicians promise change. Rudd pledged to end the double drop off. More recently we were lead to believe that childcare workers would receive an increase in pay. Many hoped this would also lead to an increase in the number of positions and quality and stability of care for our children, attracting more people to the profession and allowing those who wanted to continue to work in the sector (but perhaps could not afford to do so) to stay on. Surprise, surprise the "Minister for Women" and PM Tony Abbot has let this promise fall by the way side too.
When will we ever get a government who takes the issues of making quality childcare accessible, available and affordable for all seriously? Perhaps when our government will actually acknowledge that more women can't get a seat in cabinet it's not a level playing field to start with – not because there aren't any women good enough. Childcare is just one of the barriers.
Australian families agonise about care. Families in Norway don't have to give it a second thought. In Norway there's universal childcare for all. Australia has one woman in the federal government cabinet and five in ministerial positions – women making up 16 % of the ministry. Norway has surpassed the 50 % mark of women in ministerial positions in their government. Don't kid yourself – childcare is an issue at the very heart of gender equality in Australia.

This document describes a useful way to setup Objects for Quoting with Virtual Bookings and later generate a good Cost Comparison of Quoted vs. Actuals.
Using Classes and Activities you need to keep in mind that only the Activities of the Primary Class will appear in the Activity Selector, thus in this workflow you should not assign Objects to multiple Classes.
A working use case is:
Rename an unused Object Type to: "Quoting Objects" (you can use e.g. Time Units if you haven't used it before)
All "Quoting Objects" as well as the actual rooms and operators are added to corresponding Object Class so you can later run a report compared by Object Class (and Activity) and Object (for Extras like Services – same in Quote and Actuals).

The mystery that is Tony Padilla on 13 Reasons Why may not be so mysterious for much longer.
The Netflix teen drama is filming its second season, preparing for debut in 2018, and actor Christian Navarro told Yahoo TV that more layers will be peeled back on all of the characters in the show — including the slick-haired, leather jacket-wearing, cassette tape-loving Tony.
Navarro chatted with us about Season 2, the controversy over the show, and of course, that hair. He also talked about his upcoming movie Bushwick, a dystopian movie thriller starring Dave Bautista that opens this Friday.
13 Reasons Why has become a major cultural touchstone. It's very popular, but also had its detractors. What was your take on the controversy over its depiction of suicide?
Controversy ultimately helps the show and helps our platform. What we set out to do when we were making the show was to try to help one person. If there's one person out there, if there's one teenager who watches the show and realizes that they aren't alone in this — then we would've been successful.
So by that barometer, we've been pretty successful, because millions of teenagers are now having a dialogue, with their parents and their teachers and with each other, about what it means to be kind to each other. I understand and respect everyone's opinion, particularly parents who want to protect their children. I just want to offer up that maybe it's more beneficial to talk about it.
What kind of response have you gotten from people on the street and on social media?
We have the best fans in the world. I see them all the time on the street; I interact with them on social media. They are very moved and affected by the show, and it's made their lives better. There's nothing more humbling or gratifying to me than to be part of a project that makes people feel like they can be who they want to be and not have to conform to anyone else's ideals, especially in this day and age in light of everything that's going on in our country.
Were you surprised that the show got a second season?
No, we're looking at the most talked-about show this year — still! I was humbled by it; I didn't know when we would hear that announcement. I definitely had a feeling we would come back for Season 2. It seemed inevitable.
What will Season 2 be like?
It's going to continue the story for all of those characters. Other than that, I have to keep my cards close to the chest. But you can expect a lot more of Tony Padilla and Clay Jensen and Hannah Baker. We're building upon a solid foundation. I'm in the midst of it right now, so I'm excited every week when I get scripts.
Are we going to get more insight into Tony this year?
I certainly hope I do a good job in allowing you to. I've been working hard this season and going into it. One of the things I wanted to make sure with Brian Yorkey, the showrunner, is that we explore Tony, independent of Clay Jensen and Hannah Baker. We've got a couple more months, and I'm excited to see another side of this guy.
Tony wasn't named on the tapes, but do you feel like he's complicit in Hannah's death in a way?
Absolutely. One of the messages of the show is that we're all complicit. If you stand by and do nothing, you are as guilty if not more guilty than those who are persecuting. What we discover in this season is how exactly complicit and how that chips at his soul.
This is a big cast, and Tony didn't interact with all of the characters in Season 1. Is there someone you'd especially like to work with?
The first answer is Brandon Flynn, who plays Justin Foley. He and I went to college together. He's three years younger than me. I remember seeing him act in college; I went back after I graduated. True story, you can ask him someday: I went up to him and said, "You're going to be big, man, you're so talented." So, I would love to work with my brother Brandon. Maybe we'll get to see a little bit of that in Season 2.
And Alisha Boe (Jessica Shaw), who's become my best friend during this whole journey. She is a phenomenal actress and I'd love the opportunity to work with her.
So, let's talk about Tony's hair. How did you come up with that style?
It went through a couple of iterations. But really it was Brian the showrunner, myself, and the hairstylist figuring out who this guy is. We were inspired by Cry-Baby with Johnny Depp. We wanted something cool and sleek, and I think we found something that was, for a lack of a better term, iconic. We did it again this year, we have a new hairstylist, and she, myself, and Brian sat down again. I think we landed on something special for Season 2.
We saw that Instagram post you shared where you sing a song about Tony with your friend, the musician Evangelia. Would you want to sing on the show?
First of all, that's completely out of my hands, but I would love for that to be a possibility. Brian, our showrunner, has heard the song. I'm in New York right now, and I'm going to be cutting vocals for it so that we can release it. And Evangelia is a fantastic artist.
Maybe it'll work its way into the show. It was something that was intimate and done for me to get into character. I wanted to sit down and write something that would allow me to step through the in-between of the seasons, and Evangelia helped me with the song. I can carry a tune, but I'm not particularly musically inclined, so I was so blessed to have her there with me.
What drew you to the Bushwick project?
Dave Bautista. I've always been a fan of his. I was really moved by his performance as Drax [in Guardians of the Galaxy]. It's a comedic role, but it was so nuanced and subtle. So, I jumped at the opportunity to work beside him. He is a kind, giving person, a giant teddy bear with a heart of gold. I'm not much in it, but it was a pleasure to be there while I was.
Do you feel like it speaks to the current political climate?
Two years ago when we filmed it, I thought it was a little bit out there. Now, unfortunately, it feels closer and closer to reality. That is definitely jarring. But I think it's a movie that once people see it, it'll wake them up to some of the realities in the country, or at least cause them to ask questions and do some research. It's not so unlikely all of the sudden.
Bushwick will be in theaters and on VOD on Aug. 25.

So you've decided to be a Sexy Party Monster for Halloween. Perfect, why waste those natural party monster instincts, right? We have just the guide to help you create the ultimate Sexy Party Monster look, complete with exclusive accessories, matching nail art tutorial, and a makeup tutorial. Put on your party dress, shake some confetti in you hair, and get ready for a great night!
This Sexy Party Monster costume includes a multicolored tutu dress with a hot pink torso and bright yellow accent gives the appearance of a furry monster chest. The jagged arm-sleeves give the appearance of clothing that was ripped to shreds by hungry monsters. The tutu-style skirt has layers of pink, yellow and blue mesh. Make your skirt really pop by adding a bright pink petticoat underneath, and don't forget to add the ruffled pink panties for extra sass in the pants! This costume also includes a fun and playful furry hood has pink, yellow and blue hues with matching poms has three eyeballs and three pink and blue eyes.
(Sexy Party Monster Costume | Pink Petticoat | Pink Ruffle Panties)
To look like a Sexy Party Monster from head to toe, you'll want to add a few more furry ,confetti-colored accessories. Our exclusive multicolor furry boot covers and hand covers are designed to perfectly compliment the neon monster fur in the Sexy Party Monster hood.

(Sexy Monster Shoes | Yellow Monster Wig | Multicolor Furry Hand Covers | Multicolor Boot Covers)
If you're planning on rocking our Party Monster costume this Halloween, you're already pretty much guaranteed to have a great time. So why not kick the whole thing up a notch with a super fun matching manicure?
You will need:
I'm using:
Sinful Colors: 24/7
OPI: The "It" Color
OPI: Suzi Says Feng Shui
Sinful Colors: Hottie
Essie: Stroke of Brilliance
The first step to your manicure is choosing the right colors! I started out with a hot pink and yellow to match the colors in the Party Monster costume, using yellow for the accent nail.
From there, I added some fun freehand designs with a blue to bring out the blue in the costume. For striped designs, you can also wait until your base color dries fully, then use a piece of scotch tape to create a clear line. In this case, I decided to freehand the designs because the bit of imperfection seems more "monster-y" to me! As you can see, I tried a few different designs that play into designs with the costume. Feel free to use any or all of them.
To finish things off, I added blue glitter to the top of the accent nail as well as the polka dot nail. When I first added glitter on the polka dot nail, it muddled the dots too much, so I redid the dots over the top of the glitter. Finally, add a great topcoat over the top and you're ready to go!
Remember: have fun with your designs and have a very Happy Halloween!

Providing efficient, cost-effective services to address your legal needs. Your important legal matters deserve the attention and priority of an experienced attorney.How Can We Help You?
Andrew Park and Ted Park, were a great help with a recent financial issue. They took time on two separate occasions to speak with me, review documents, search documents, and explain everything clearly. Very friendly, competent, and candid about fees and costs.
I would highly recommend these attorneys.
Queens Drugs and Surgical
I was a customer of Andrew Park on February 2017 and he was very professional, and responded all my questions accordingly and was able to resolve my case within a couple of weeks. I highly recommend his services, as he resolves problems quick!
Byung Lim Hwang
Great service, professional, responsible and sincerely to resolve my case
I really appreciate them and highly recommend their service.
Youn-Hee Kim
In NJ, it is impossible for landlords to get any complimentary legal advice from any public organizations, so I, as a landlord of a small property, could not help suffering because of painful tenant issues.
I have had consulations with many other lawers on troublesome tenant issues before, but NO ONE had as knowledgeable as Mr. Caporrino on the Real Estate field. The only Cons is that his rate is a bit costly.
In addition, I very much appreciate Mr. Ted Park who did not hesitate to give me helpful advice over the phone when Mr. Caporrino is not available. When I was willing to pay the lawer's hourly fee of consultation and called the office to make an appointment, Mr. Park gave me golden advices over the phone. If you are a landlord who is going through painful tenant issues, you would understand how much thankful I felt for Mr. Ted Park.
I strongly recommend Mr. Caporrino and Mr. Ted Park to any landlords in NJ. They are great!
Yoonju Kim
I hate dealing with legal matters. Things are usually unnecessarily complicated and often redundant. When I had a court matter in Jersey to resolve, I retained Park&Caporrino. I thought the matter closed after the first court date, but it turned out otherwise. Not only did Andrew Park, my attorney take care of it on my behalf (he assured me that my appearance in court was unnecessary) but they also did not charge me for the second appearance though that was never negotiated when I originally retained them. Great service, very respectful, and clearly very competent. Made the otherwise unpleasant business as painless as possible. Thank you!
Young Min Lee
Andrew Park was my attorney and was professional at handling my case. Whenever the seller's agent came, he handled the communication with responsibility. The seller was trying to push back not to repair the leakage in the kitchen, which was unacceptable. However, Andrew fought for my interest and we finally reached a deal. I would recommend this firm to my friends.
Yeon Hong
We hired them for my father's divorce. Due to his health issue we needed to expedite the proceeding. Jill was sympathetic with our father's situation and gave us a good price on the case. Andrew also got involved with the case. They made calls to the Judge to expedite the case. We were able to get the decree in less than 4 weeks! I will be using them for Real Estate and other legal services. I recommend them highly.
Antone Xie
They represented me for my divorce case. I am so happy about all outcomes. Without them, I may have been out on the street now. Attorney Andrew explained, suggested options and walked through each process.He is very knowledgeable with the court system. When my ex-wife filed a divorce, I didn't know what to do. I was so lucky that I met him through a referral.
He was very honest and reasonable with fees, as I am not a wealthy person. He will be my future lawyer if I would need any counseling for future issues.
Joanne Lee
Andrew Park was great. I did not want to waste too much time with this child support disagreement with my ex-husband, so Andrew made sure it went as smoothly as possible. He helped me organize my case. He helped me to be realistic and come to a reasonable, fair settlement. To me, that was the invaluable part of the service he provided. I would go to Andrew Park for any legal advice.

Regional reports on Michigan vegetables – August 10, 2011
MSU Extension educators' pest and vegetable updates for Michigan.
This week's regional reports:
- Southwest Michigan – Ron Goldy
- East Michigan (Lapeer, Macomb, St. Clair) – Hannah Stevens
- Grand Rapids Area – Bill Steenwyk
- West Central Michigan – Norm Myers
- Central Michigan – Fred Springborn
Southwest Michigan – Ron Goldy, Michigan State University Extension
Over the past week, temperatures averaged near normal with highs from 78 to 87°F and lows from 62 to 68°F. The area received 1.5 or more inches of rain. Some damaging hail occurred Sunday (August 7). Most sites now have adequate moisture.
Crop reports
General cantaloupe harvest has begun. Watermelon harvest will start next week. Harvest continues on other crops. Downy mildew has been observed on cucumbers.
Some early planted tomato fields are finished, some because of the high incidence of bacterial problems. Bacterial spot and speck continues to show up. Mite populations are increasing in tomatoes and other susceptible crops.
Bacterial spot continues to show up in some pepper plantings.
European corn borer numbers remain low, being at "0" for this week.
Potato harvest has begun.
East Michigan (Lapeer, Macomb, St. Clair) – Hannah Stevens, Michigan State University Extension
Field conditions
Rainfall continued this week on four to five occasions, totaling 2 inches or somewhat more in this area. High temperatures have been much cooler than last week, in the low 80°F range. One can see standing water in some areas, and harvest and crop protection operations are messy, but overall I hope the moisture situation is not causing crop losses.
Crop conditions
Sweet corn is now in abundance as growers are into second and even third plantings. There may be minor problems with ear fill as a result of pollination or fertilization problems during the hot weather, but otherwise the ears are of good quality. Corn earworm and European corn borer trap catches remain fairly steady.
In cole crops, summer broccoli has been of poor quality, but cabbage and other cole crops seems to be doing well, with the exception of some bacterial soft rot of cabbage heads, possibly introduced by insects. Cauliflower heads are being tied. The potential yield of the first set of tomatoes seems exceptionally high, but I observed some radial cracking of maturing fruit.
Radial cracking on tomato.
In vine crops, gardeners and small market gardeners are reporting fruit abortion in summer squash, which I associate with incomplete blossom fertilization, but not necessarily poor pollination. Muskmelons and watermelons are now being harvested. Powdery mildew is now among us and foliar fungicides need to be considered on vine crops, including winter squash and pumpkins. Downy mildew on cucumbersis very likely widespread and will become apparent in unprotected fields. Wholesale carrot harvest began today (August 10) in the Imlay City area.
Grand Rapids Area – Bill Steenwyk, Michigan State University Extension
Over the past week, rainfall ranged from a modest 0.4 to 0.7 inches. Temperatures were seasonably warm, with highs averaging in the mid-80s and lows in the mid-60s.
Celery harvest continues with a positive overall picture. Aphids pose one of the more severe pest pressures, with reduced variegated cutworm activity and light to moderate infestations of aster leafhoppers. Some early blight is present in areas north of Grand Rapids/Allendale. Celery anthracnose is evident in many fields, but at much lower levels than last year.
A few of the earliest onions have been harvested. Leaves are dropping in other early stands. The crop is facing pressure from a number of foliar diseases, including purple spot and anthracnose. Lettuce and radish yield vary by location, with yields being somewhat lower than hoped for due to recent heavy rains.
The condition of tomatoes varies by location. Many fields look good, but some areas have experienced lower yields due to foliar diseases. The same can be said for peppers. The eggplants that I have seen look good.
Cabbage has been doing well this season. Lately, however, some fields in wetter locations are experiencing a variety of disease challenges. Sweet corn yields appear to be good overall. Some larval feeding in the ears is present. A local crop consultant has found that corn earworm is a much more significant problem than European corn borer. Western bean cutworm populations have been low. My three southern Kent County European corn borer pheromone traps had moth counts of 0, 3 and 5.
Vine crops are ripening fast.Melons are on market shelves. Winter squash harvest continues with positive overall reports. Phytophthora wilt appears to be a challenge in some of the wetter areas. Powdery mildew is present. Downy mildew has been identified in west Michigan cucumber fields.
West Central Michigan – Norm Myers, Michigan State University Extension
Weather during this last week was above normal and rains were variable. The main vegetable growing belt is drier than other parts of the county and irrigators there are very busy keeping up with crop demands.
Asparagus growers continue to do a good job controlling foliar diseases. Because of the favorable disease environment, the Tom-Cast system will likely not save any fungicide sprays this year, but initial evaluations indicate that growers credit it with increasing or preserving yields over time. A second flush of new growth is appearing in most fields. Fortunately, we still have enough of the growing season left that asparagus crowns should be able to at least recoup the investment in new fern.
Disease pressure remains high in vine crops as well. Powdery mildew arrived early this year, but so far growers have been able to control it. Phytophthora capsici has also made its appearance over the last week or so. Most of the damage to date appears to be from the fruit rot stage of the disease. Watermelon mosaic virus seems to be our only virus problem. Fruit set on all vine crops appears to be light this year. Most growers are blaming the effect of the heat on bee pollination for that light set.
In carrots, disease pressure seems even higher than in asparagus, probably due to the added wetness from irrigation. Low aster yellows indexes appear to be proving out in lower than normal aster yellows rates in carrots. Partly that is because aster leafhopper numbers are also lower than usual for this point in the season.
I caught one European corn borer moth, but my corn earworm moth catch jumped to five this week. Western bean cutworm numbers have dropped off greatly this week, with only one moth caught in my sweet corn site and only three in my field corn site.
We harvested our early snap bean plantings last week and growers were a little disappointed with the yields. In talking to one of the large snap bean growers from southern Michigan, this situation seems to be general. The growers, rightly I think, are blaming the heat for blossom abortion as the main factor in lower yields.
Central Michigan – Fred Springborn, Michigan State University Extension
Moderate temperatures and additional rainfall has dominated the region over the past week. Several areas got 1 to 3 inches of rain over the last four days with a few areas receiving substantially more. High temperatures have been in the 80s.
Symptoms of downy mildew are showing up in many more production fields as well as market gardens and home gardens. Recent rainfall will make it challenging for many growers to use ground rigs to apply fungicides. Several growers will turn to aerial application to protect the crop due to wet, muddy fields.
Harvest of chip potatoes began last week.
Western bean cutworm moth flight is coming to an end and larvae are feeding on both corn and bean crops. Western bean cutworm larvae are still quite small, generally less than a quarter of an inch in length, and easy to overlook. Control becomes difficult in corn as the larvae enter the ear and are protected by the husk. There is still time to apply insecticides in beans as the larvae move around in the bean canopy to feed.

Egyptian Broadcaster Who Claimed Victory Against Israel in 1967 Buried on War's Anniversary
Ahmed Said, who claimed Egyptian troops had reached Tel Aviv when they had actually suffered a crushing defeat in the Six Day War with Israel, dies at age 93
The radio announcer who claimed Egyptian troops had reached Tel Aviv when they had actually suffered a crushing defeat in the Six Day War with Israel has died at the age of 93.
Ahmed Said, who died Monday, worked for the Voice of the Arabs, a Cairo-based station used by Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser to whip up Arab nationalism.
During the 1967 war, Said told listeners that Egypt had shot down dozens of Israeli warplanes. In reality, Israel had destroyed nearly all of Egypt's air force on the tarmac.
Said was born in Cairo in 1925 and had a degree in law from Cairo University. Said resigned from Voice of the Arabs in September 1967, 3 months after the Six Day War.
In just six days, Israel captured the Sinai Peninsula and Gaza from Egypt, the West Bank and east Jerusalem from Jordan, and the Golan Heights from Syria.
Said was buried Tuesday, the 51st anniversary of the start of the war.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
2017 will be an interesting year for Kenya. With only a few months left before the elections, Control Risks increasingly receives calls from clients who want to be as prepared as possible for a potentially uncertain period.
Although we don't expect major security problems to hit the country, we obviously encourage our clients to plan for all eventualities. Furthermore, as my colleague Patricia Rodrigues points out in her first article of this Africa RiskWatch, regardless of who ultimately wins any of the multiple seats up for grabs in the Kenyan elections, some policy disruption is inevitable given that some county and national government policies already move in entirely opposite directions.
In Nigeria, the political and security situation remains broadly stable as Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo steps in as acting president while President Muhammadu Buhari takes medical leave. Our second article explains the current situation in more detail.
We hope you enjoy this issue of the Africa RiskWatch newsletter and as always would value your feedback.
Kind regards,
Daniel Heal, Senior Partner

Exploring Prague on two wheels
Where to cycle around Prague & why Czech bikers say "Ahoj"
The Czech Republic is known for its active, outdoor lifestyle, and biking is a popular leisure activity for Czechs of all ages. Although you'll see geared up cyclists pedaling through the winter months, once the weather warms, biking season in full arrives to the heart of Central Europe. While parts of the country lend themselves to biking tourism (i.e. the rolling wine country of southern Moravia, the flat, scenic fishing ponds in South Bohemia or the long distance Greenway trail from Prague to Vienna), the capital city of Prague has surprising accessibility to rides for cyclists of all levels.
There is something special about seeing Prague and its surrounding countryside by bike. Without going beyond the city's limits, you can cycle past streams, alongside cliffs and through dense forests. It doesn't take much of an imagination to pretend you're in the middle of nowhere, instead of minutes away from downtown. With the prevalence of trailside playgrounds and pubs for rest and refueling stops, biking is a perfect pastime for families with children. With the rising popularity of electric bikes, it's also a good option for those who don't have the energy to pedal steep hills but would still like to have a biking experience.
As one British friend commented when I told her we'd gone for a family bike ride on the weekend, "Everyone bikes here. I'm going to have to start."
If you don't own a bike or don't know the city very well, getting started can be the hardest part. For some inspiration to hit the road, join the Bike to Work competition to be held in May in Prague and 25 other cities around the country. The event encourages residents to use bikes as transport to their daily activities and offers prizes in the categories of regularity, performance, cyclo-employer of the year, cyclo-measure and creativity.
Biking options around Prague
Ride options in and around Prague range from flat riverside paths to challenging single trek trails. One of the best aspects of biking in Prague is that you can usually find a ride that combines paved paths with terrain trails, allowing groups of different abilities to bike in the same vicinity.
For the easiest rides, cycle along sections of A1 or A2, the riverside paths that run on both sides of the Vltava River. These paths continue beyond the city's perimeters and are popular with walkers, joggers and in-line skaters. See "A Family Ride" section for an easy weekend ride tip.
Popular biking spots for locals include Divoká Šárka, Prokopské údolí (Prokop Valley), Kunratický les (Kunratice Forest), Hostivařska Přehrada (Hostivar Dam) and Točná. Within these parks and preserves, you can find everything from riding high along the cliff's edge to pedaling through the valley, from bumping over rough forest paths to meandering along creeks, between boulders or climbing steep hills.
For longer distance rides, try routes on the Prague to Vienna Greenways, a series of 250 – 300 miles of connected trails and country roads, including routes to castles, chateaus and UNESCO heritage sites. Check out the Friends of Greenways website for maps, brochures and tips about organizing specific tours.
Saying "Ahoj" to fellow bikers
There's no place like on the bike to break down the boundaries between the formal and informal in the Czech language. When I first heard a biker greet me with "Ahoj," instead of the traditional "Dobry den," I assumed that I'd met a foreigner who got confused. It wasn't until I'd heard other bikers call out "Ahoj" that my husband explained. Saying "Ahoj" while biking (or boating) in the Czech Republic is a customary curtesy greeting. It's hard not to smile when someone's whizzing by shouting out "Ahoj." And in the often reserved Czech culture, a spontaneous smile is something I have learned not to take for granted.
The roadside "pit-stop" or "watering hole" culture for bikers is also laidback and friendly. In Prague, seasonal riverside pubs serve refreshments along the Vltava (i.e. beer, soft-drinks and quick foods like soups, grilled sausages, fried cheese, etc.) as well as other biking routes through the countryside around Prague. Restaurants with terraces, beer gardens and casual eateries also cater to the biking crowd.
General etiquette & information
Bikes are allowed on Prague's metro system (look for metro cars that show the bike symbol), some tram lines and trains (some lines require advance bike reservations). They are also welcome on Prague's riverside ferries, which carry cyclists to the A1/A2 paths on either side of the Vltava. Bikes are not allowed on public buses, so make sure that you don't ride somewhere where you'll need to return by bus. For more information on where you can and can't take your bike, check out www.ddp.cz/skolem.
According to Czech Tourism's website, while riding in the Czech Republic, you need a properly equipped bicycle (functioning brakes, a bell, red rear reflectors, a white front reflector, a red rear light, a white front light, front and rear fenders). Helmets are required for cyclists under 18. Bikers are subject to the same traffic rules as are motorists. Despite the prevalence of roadside pubs and vineyards, riding under the influence of alcohol is subject to a fine of up to 15,000 CZK. If you're planning a wine tasting or heavy consumption of beer, best save it for the end of the ride.
Bike paths & signs
As of 2005, there were 28,282 km of cycling trails in the Czech Republic, including country roads, biking paths, off-road trails and long-distance trails. Road trails are usually on paved roads and marked with signs that show a bicycle symbol on a yellow background with a trail number and distance marker as well as a direction pointer (when trails cross). In addition to specific biking trails, there are also off-road trails shared by hikers and bikers and maintained by the Czech Hiking Society. These trails are usually through the forest, woods and countryside on field and forest paths. They are marked with striped signs (red, blue, yellow, green stripes with a white stripe above and below the colored one).
Biking and hiking trail maps can be found online or purchased at most Czech Tourism offices. There is a large Czech Tourism office at Old Town Square.

MTB trails
For MTB bikers who want to get to know new terrain, visit single-trek bike parks, enduro centers or find out information about MTB events around the Czech Republic, check out www.trail-guide.cz. The site is currently available only in Czech, but will soon be translated into English. Another trail resource for hard-core adventurers is trail-busters.cz.
Local biking groups
Biking is such a popular activity here, for both locals and tourists, that it is possible to find online biking groups offering group rides and trail advice. To hear about group rides in the Prague vicinity, join the FB group called Bajkovani v Praze.
Renting equipment & organized tours
If you haven't got a bike, it's not hard to find a rental option in Prague to suit your need (electric bike, road bike, MTB, trek).
For a customized rental experience with a local feel, check out BIKO Adventures Prague, a bike shop specializing in MTB, road cycling, hiking and other adrenaline sports for English speaking clients. Located close to Prague's city center in the Vinohrady (P2) neighborhood, BIKO rents equipment and offers organized tours from easy to advanced level.

The tour covers 15km within the downtown area and is a good way to pack in quality sightseeing without wearing out your legs. The tour is run daily from 1.4 – 15.11 and includes bike rental and hotel pickup. (Price 1450 CZK).
A family ride from Stromovka to Unetice
For a nice family ride, start in Stromovka Park and cycle over the river to the Prague Zoo. (Make sure to walk your bikes across the pedestrian bridge). Head past the zoo toward the village of Klecany. Stop for an ice cream or a cold beer at one of the roadside pubs. Take the bike ferry to the other side of the river. Pedal through the village of Roztoky past the villas in Tiché údolí, (Quiet Valley) to connect to an assortment of trail rides.
At the village of Unetice, you can stop either at the local Unetice Brewery or check out U Lasiku, a cozy, family-run café/pub serving fresh koláče (savory and sweet pies) made daily by the owner. Quench your thirst with their homemade raspberry lemonade or an unfiltered beer from the Unetice Brewery. If you don't have the energy for the return trip, cycle back to the Roztoky train station (or return to the paved riverside path and continue on to the train station in Uholicky) to catch a train ride back to Dejvice.
Distance from Stromovka to Unetice circa 15 km.

Although this is not a 100% correct as I've read far more books in my life, it is interesting to take a look at! Here is a printscreen of my results.
This doesn't need much explanation. I love everything she writes and am pretty much up to date with all her series/books, except for the Age of X series. I also own a personalised signed copy of Bloodlines. My favourite series? Vampire Academy.
V.C. Andrews
Her books were a huge part of my teenage years. I absolutely devoured every book I could get my hands on--the staff in the library would often even keep them apart, and mum would always try to find new ones I hadn't read yet. My favourite series is probably the Landry series--also the first series I ever read by her.
Sarah J. Maas
Celaena Sardothien might be my favourite character ever. I met Sarah earlier this year, which was great and very inspirational. It also means all my books are signed. That's okay, right?
Nicholas Sparks
What can I say? I love these books--and the movies! A Walk To Remember was the very first one I read and I cried my eyes out when I watched the movie. Most recently I've seen The Longest Ride (cinema) and absolutely loved it.
P.C. Cast
Loved of the House of Night series, which I first picked up when I was in London with school in January 2009 I think. I've read the first eight books but have outgrown it a little since then.
J.K. Rowling
How about I just skip explaining this? No words needed for Harry Potter (although I also really liked The Cuckoo's Calling!). Let's just say that Harry Potter made my childhood a bit more magical (and if you manage to find this sentence in the bathroom at The Elephant House in Edinburgh, take a picture and send it to me, okay?)
Enid Blyton
Pitty! (This is the Dutch name ;-) ) Oh, how I loved spending time with her during my childhood. Fun fact: mum had a few books that she read when she was younger, which is how I first started reading this series.
Kiera Cass
Ok, no way around this: I adore The Selection. Point made. My favourite book so far is The Heir as I loved the change Eadlyn went through.
Jane Austen
Jane Austen is the last one in this list that needs any kind of explanation. Every one should just read this. Period.
Tais Teng
He is a Dutch author and I loved reading his books when I was younger, especially the one about the young witch Meral and her werewolf boyfriend. I recently reread a few of the books and still loved them! It's clear to see where my influence for the stories and books I'm writing today came from... along with another Dutch author (see below).
Karen Mahoney
I picked up The Iron Witch in spring 2011 at Waterstones Piccadilly when I was on a day trip in London. I remember reading it and not stopping until I'd finished it. I also have a copy of Falling to Ash and of course the two other books in The Iron Witch series--including a signed ARC of The Wood Queen. I found Karen on Twitter soon after finishing The Iron Witch where we've since then been planning to have a cup of coffee (or something else in my case, as I don't drink coffee).
Paul van Loon
I think I read every book in the Griezelbus series. Like Tais Teng, Paul van Loon has been a big influence on what I read when I was young, what I read today and what I write.
Next to this list, Roald Dahl was also one of my favourite authors during my childhood years (and still is!). My favourite book is Matilda. Another author who is not on this list (eagerly awaiting more books to be published) is Susan Dennard. Huge fan of Something Strange and Deadly (have read the first two books, third to follow) and cannot wait to read Truthwitch.
So tell me, what do you think of my list? And who are your most read authors?

3D Printing Software
Like an office printer, 3D printer also requires some 3D printing software/tools to convert your designs (3D models) into machine readable instructions. Two types of tools are required.
1. CAD Tools
2. CAM Tools
CAD Tools
CAD (Computer Aided Design) tools are used to make 3D models of your design.
Most 3D printers require 3D models in STL format. Make sure that CAD tool you are using saves the object in STL format otherwise you need to convert your 3D model into STL format.
There are many CAD tools that are free. Some of them are:
1. Autodesk 123D Design
2. Blender
4. FreeCAD
5. 3DTin
6. OpenSCAD
8. Sketchup
9. Tinkercad
Some of the above sites also offer premium features, please visit the respective sites to know more. There are also many commercial CAD software available.
If you have no experience with 3D modeling, we would advice you to check Autodesk 123D Design and Blender first. Modeling with these two software is easy and you can easily export your models to STL format.
You can also download 3D models from online repositories like Thingiverse, GrabCAD or Yeggi.
CAM Tools
CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) tools are used to translate CAD files to machine readable format (G-code).
Two categories fall under CAM tools.
1) Slicing Software
Slicing software generates G-code (machine readable format) from STL files (CAD files). For this, you can use one of the following applications:
1. Cura
2. Slic3r
3. Repetier
4. MatterControl
5. Simplify3D
2) Print/Host Software
After generating G-code, you need to send the file to the printer to start printing. To do this, connect the printer to your computer using USB connection and use one of the following applications:
1. Cura
2. Pronterface
3. Repetier
4. ReplicatorG
5. MatterControl

A girl can get tired of looking at her worn out face in the mirror at times like these, and that's when you need a nice fast easy glamour fix that won't eat into your work time! For me that fix is the good old faux bumper bang. It takes seconds, looks pin up fab, and requires very little prep!
To get the look all you need is:
- 3 bobby pins
- A splash of water
- Hair spray
- 1 min extra time before bed!
The Styling:
- The night before separate out a small section in the front you want to curl into your bangs.
- Dampen the section with a bit of water
- Put the section in 3 (maybe more if you're blessed with thick hair) standing pin curls.
- A fast way to do these is to roll your hair around a smooth tube (I use a Besame lip gloss) slip the "tube" out and pin with a bobby pin so it sits as if it had a roller in it.
- Wake up!
- Take out the bobby pins
- Gently brush the curls over your hand and roll up under itself
- Arrange the bangs to suit your face
- Spray with liberal amounts of hair spray
It's also a pretty fun way to play with bangs without having to make the commitment of cutting them in.
Usually it comes out much fuller, but the day you set up to take photos is always the day things fall a little flat.

Not a single photo but a really great time
Yesterday my hubby didn't have to work so we decided to do something together. After going through hell and back to find a sitter my best friend came directly after she got off work and babysat for us. THANK YOU TONI!!! I LOVE YOU GIRL!!!
So where did we go? A fancy restaurant? A movie? Nope none of those. We went to the country to shoot our handguns. Three hours and over 500 rounds between the two of us and we packed up and went to dinner. Hubby insisted we stop and try a sushi place and I was completely grossed out. But we ate there anyway and let me tell you it was fantastic. We ordered California rolls with crab and shrimp. SO good. There are 12 of them in our fridge right now waiting to be eaten. It was a fantastic day. Just me and hubs out in the woods. Very relaxing and a perfect stress reliever.
And I must say that my aim was pretty darn good. I even hit a glass bottle dead on towards the end. Yea me! It was the most fun we have had together in a long time. :):)

We finally finished the kids room today. I couldn't be happier! The photos aren't capturing how beautiful the walls are but believe me it is a fantastic blue. I haven't gotten any really great photos yet since the kids are home but I will do it when they go back to school on Monday.
I was browsing Flickr a few weeks ago and came across the idea to use Ikea spice racks as bookshelves so I bought three of them and each of the kids have one above their beds. They turned out so cute. Here is the boys bed and I will take photos of the rest of the room very soon.
Next stop on my mission to paint every room in this house....the bathroom.

It is a pretty big bummer when you have about a half hour more painting to go in a room and you run out of paint. It is an even bigger bummer when the paint you bought does not come in anything smaller than a gallon size. But the biggest bummer yet is when that gallon of paint costs $33.99.
Thankfully I love the color enough that I can paint my bathroom with the leftover.

Family Movie Night
Last night hubby came home late after a job and handed me a Willy Wonka chocolate bar from Walgreens. He then told me that we were going to watch Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. My response was not too pleasant. You see I had never seen the movie and there was a reason for that. I DIDN'T WANT TO. But he insisted.
The kids were supposed to be asleep already but Makayla was still up so I told her she could come in the living room with us since it was Spring Break. Shortly after Macie woke up and wanted to come in.
So we made it a no notice family movie night. The girls had a blast and loved it. As for me I did NOT like the movie. But it was fun to watch it as a family. Even Limo got in on the family movie watching. He laid on Macie and me most of the time.

A New Age
My dad took night classes and held a job to support the family. Later at one point, he had two jobs. My mom raised my sister and then when my other sister and I were born, she was working the evenings while taking care of us in the day. My dad would be gone from morning until the evening - which is when my mom left for work. With mom gone, he took over from evening until bedtime.
From the time they came to the US, they didn't have a manual about being parents. Instead, it was whatever they could do to the best of their abilities. There wasn't time to get drinks, go to the movies, surf the web, play games, or hit the gym.
In contemporary society, it appears we take such luxuries and conveniences for granted. Parent or not, we appear to have the time and choice to partake in activities. However, we don't take advantage of this. Instead at most times, we choose activities detrimental to our well-being (mind and body).
Imagine you had commitments so important that it was out of the question to do other things.
My parents had three kids to love and care for each day.
We live in an age where we are given the world with wondrous resources at hand but do not fully utilize them. Because of my parents' hard work, I'm able to pen a blog in my free time, exercise, attend a university, and express my ideas among other things.
And for that, I am grateful.

I think a lot of us first generation kids have parents with a similar story. It really is amazing that they just picked up and left and did so much for us, and while sometimes it can be hard to be thankful when we're fighting with them over our curfews or college majors, in the end we are still thankful. I'm sure your parents would be proud if they read this! Hope all is well--I like the blog =).ReplyDelete
Actually I hope my parents never read this, haha. Luckily with us first generation, there's no arranged marriage either!ReplyDelete
Thank you for stopping by. I hope you're having fun with classes. :)

Such a great thought! When you put it in that context, it really drives home how wasteful some of us have become. Time is so precious.ReplyDelete
Thank you Mimi! I think people could really accomplish a lot if they come together to work on a task, especially in the present times.ReplyDelete
hey niel, this is SM & i'm friends with your sisters! great post and blog! i'm eventually going to be doing a health & wellness off-shoot of my blog (think biggest loser for brown folks & i just relaunched at http://www.smilemoonsworld.com) & would love to have you get in on the conversation whenever that goes down.ReplyDelete
Hey friend of thing 1 & thing 2! I'm glad you enjoyed the post. I'm looking forward to the health for Indians. It's a shame how often I hear many complain about their problems when father time catches up with them. :(ReplyDelete

Was ist denn heute los?
WOW--it has been a long while since my last post. Haha! How many blogs start out that way! Yet it is true.I hit quite a heavy wall since my Mom passed away but art flows in bursts of creativity here and there, thankfully. So why no posts on glass for a long time? One, yes, I am not making much art these days--it's been busy with building a studio out in Orange County. Yes,I am moving!(more on that later!) Two, I haven't posted the beads I HAVE made because I want to build an inventory up for when I open my Etsy shop. I want to have the items ready for purchase when I post pics so there is no waiting! I decided that I am just going to make whatever appears in my head at the moment and not worry so much about being a focused artist. I tried and it ain't happening! I'm just going to have fun! So what is in store? Here is a small sneak peek at what I have been working on. Nothing ground shattering but know that the beads I'm making are from sheer joy! Thank you so much and hi!!!
