Something to ponder: If something you did 30 years ago disqualifies you from office, no one would be qualified to serve. Democrats and Republicans alike.
Stop it already. No one is perfect, and I am sure everyone on the planet who has hit the age of 21 has done at least one thing or said at least one thing that will have offended someone somewhere somehow.
I am not defending or condoning any action in the news at the moment. Just reminding society that no one is perfect. Maybe we should stop acting like we are.

Gay and I are grateful for the warm and generous welcome we have received during our first week at Calvary. There is an inviting vitality and authenticity among you and we are very happy to be here.
In addition to routine pastoral duties, there are three main objectives that I need to accomplish during the time I am with you and prior to the call of your next settled rector.
• Help you establish patterns of parish life with a full time rector. During the Holy Conversations last fall, the membership of the parish resoundingly expressed the desire to call a full time rector. The vestry and the nominating committee are well into the process of doing just that. As that process moves forward, you'll have opportunities to practice on me as your full time rector in the interim!
• Help you with necessary organizational and administrative adjustments prior to the arrival of your full time rector. Those who are interviewing for the position will want to know how things get done at Calvary and who is responsible. There will also be questions about how the communications system works and what equipment is used to support the ongoing life of the parish in its mission. I'm working with the vestry and parish leadership to address the most important of these organizational and administrative adjustments.
• Help you strengthen your commitment to faithful stewardship and generous giving. God is providing all the resources to provide for Calvary's mission. You want to be operating "in the black" and have a balanced budget by the time your new rector arrives. The key to both of those realities lies in the heart of the giver.
Each one of you has a vital role to play in this final stage of transition as you prepare to call a rector. Following the example of ONE Episcopalian, here's what YOU can do:
• Worship ONE additional Sunday per month. If you are attending once a month, make it twice. If you are attending twice a month, make it three times. And so forth…
• Move up ONE step toward the tithe. The Episcopal Church teaches that the tithe – giving one tenth of our household income – as the minimum biblical standard. If you are now giving one percent, step up to two. If you are now giving two percent, step up to three. And so forth…
• Move forward ONE pew when you come to worship. The pews in the front of the nave are almost empty. Newcomers will be more at home at first on the back pews, which are now almost full. (Ten of the sixty-six worshippers last Sunday were visitors).
• Participate regularly in ONE Calvary service activity. Whether it is outreach to those in need, visiting the sick, preparing a meal, singing in the choir, taking care of the altar, or helping out in the parish office, each ONE of you needs to be actively engaged in service to Christ and this church.
• Spend ONE hour in prayer each day. Does that sound like a lot? Pick up your Book of Common Prayer. If you spend fifteen minutes each day saying Morning Prayer and fifteen minutes each day saying Evening Prayer, you are half way there! Add five minutes at noon and ten minutes at bedtime and you've spent forty-five minutes in prayer. That leaves only fifteen minutes, which can be easily accomplished during your daily routines as you remember people or concerns that need your prayers. If you are homebound, this can be your special ministry to your Calvary family because you have more time than others who are working and raising families. Remember what Jesus said to his disciples that evening in the Garden of Gethsemane, "Could ye not watch with me one hour" (Mt. 26:40)? I'm not asking any more than Jesus asked!
There are many other ways in which you can and do make a difference at Calvary. Don't stop! But these five things are contributions almost every member of the parish can make and when that happens the results will be phenomenal. You, as ONE member of Calvary Church, do make a difference.
I'll see you in Church!
The Reverend Ronald D. Pogue
Interim Rector

Announcements & News
Mosquito Management
- Published in Announcements
- on 7/15/2019
This information is from the Franklin County Public Health office. If you have any questions regarding mosquitos, please contact them at (614) 525-3160 or visit their website at http://www.myfcph.org/
You can control the mosquito population
Mosquitoes are an all too familiar summer nuisance. They are not only annoying, but they present a potential health risk as transmitters of diseases such as West Nile virus and Zika virus. Mosquitoes require standing water for their young to hatch and develop. Once eggs are laid, a new crop of mosquitoes can hatch, grow and emerge from the water as adults in as little as one week. Eliminating potential breeding sites around your home can go a long way to reduce the mosquito population. Many mosquitoes stay very close to their juvenile habitat when they emerge as adults, and the females look for hosts to bite nearby. Eliminating mosquito habitats around your home can prevent bites, reduce your risk of disease and make your summer activities more enjoyable.
Here are a few simple suggestions that can make a big difference in controlling the mosquito population in your own back yard:
- Empty, remove, cover or turn over any container that has the potential to hold water.
- Repair leaky pipes and outside faucets.
- Make sure gutters and downspouts are free of leaves and debris, and are properly draining.
- Change the water in wading pools weekly and store indoors when not in use.
- Properly dispose of old tires.
- Empty planters that hold water twice each week.
- Empty bird baths weekly.
- Empty your pets watering dishes daily.
- Use sand to plug holes in trees where water can collect.
- Drain or fill low areas on your property that hold water for more than five days.
- Remind or help neighbors to eliminate breeding sites on their property.
If you have questions, want to complete a service request or need additional information about mosquitoes, call Franklin County Public Health's Mosquito Bite Line at (614) 525-BITE (2483) and leave a message; your call will be returned. You can also visit www.myfcph.org to submit a service request online.
Do Your Part to Prevent West Nile Virus
Franklin County Public Health has been actively trapping mosquitoes since Mid-May to monitor the population and test for West Nile virus (WNV). Through this surveillance, we know there is WNV in our community.
It is not unexpected to see WNV in mosquitoes in our community. WNV has been present for many years and historically begins to show up at this time of the year. It is a good reminder for residents to take precautionary steps to protect themselves and their families.
- Wear insect repellant containing DEET (follow package directions)
- Limit outdoor activity at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active
- Eliminate all standing water around your home (mosquitoes breed in water and it doesn't take much)
WNV can be transmitted to people through the bite of an infected mosquito. Symptoms include mild fever, headache and body aches, often with skin rash and swollen lymph glands. Eighty percent of people bitten by an infected mosquito will not show any symptoms at all. Less than one percent of those who do have symptoms will become severely ill. Franklin County had one human case of WNV in 2016 and three human cases in 2015.
Franklin County Public Health will continue their comprehensive mosquito control program throughout the mosquito season. Fifty Gravid mosquito traps are set weekly throughout the county to trap and identify culex mosquitoes, which have the potential to carry WNV. The mosquitoes in each trap are identified and grouped into pools of fifty. Based on historical data and/or high trap counts, some mosquito pools are tested for WNV in our facility to give us quick results. All mosquitoes are sent to the Ohio Department of Health for WNV testing.

The Essentials Mix: The Collusion of Mediocrity and how it made me a better facilitator
July 15, 2017
The Essentials Mix are those TT podcasts that have had the biggest impact on me over the years, the ones I've learnt the most from and become a better L&D professional. In this one (with a bit of director's commentary breaking in), Paul Levy talks about the facilitator's role in challenging mediocrity (i.e. anything less than potential), even at the expense of becoming unpopular!

SHOPSUP is solving the problem to make it easy for the Consumers to know the various products which are available in the Retail Stores nearby; which is today a very tedious task as the consumer has to walk in to ever store to know whether the product that he/she wants is available or not.
The Consumer using SHOPSUP will be able to search for a particular product and he/she will get all the Retail Outlets in the nearby locality offering the product which will include Dynamic Bargain, Chat with the Retailer, allowing Consumer to Compare both Online and Offline rates and lots more. The Consumer can block the product and go in person have a look and feel of the product and purchase it at the Retail Store; which makes it a more pleasant experience for the consumer. The two Biggest Advantages which happens is the Consumer is able to touch & feel the product hence the returns or replacement doesn't happen; which today in Online Ordering is very much stressful and time consuming and next the consumer gets it immediately rather than waiting for couple of days.
The Retailer who will be part of SHOPSUP family will have an advantage of an extra income through all new vertical and this will in return help him to increase the footfalls in the store increasing chances of higher purchases. SHOPSUP team will share various analytics on Customer Footfalls, Product Pricing etc and help the Retailer to do more sales and increase his profitability.

Stable Dentures with Dental Implants
Dentures are a go-to solution for total or partial tooth loss. An implant denture provides an extra level of security for your choice of dentures as a tooth replacement. Though popular, dentures can cause problems including movement. Your bone and gum tissue can wear down or erode as your dentures shift and move during long-term use.
An implant denture eliminates the movement of a poorly fitting prosthesis. Dental implants are placed at specific locations in your jawbone. After your dental implants integrate into your jawbone, special attachments will be attached to your denture and implants. These attachments will allow your denture to snap securely into place preventing any unwanted denture mobility.

Picking Sebelius would be a disaster for ObamaRecent reports have confirmed what pro-life analysts have been saying about the administration's pick for Health and Human Services; that Kathleen Sebelius would be a disaster for the Obbama White House. Already slapped with a number of scandals, the choice of Sebelius would put the abortion debate front and center with the American public. Not just the debate in general, but the subject of late term abortions and the George Tiller criminal trial would be the front page stories coming out of Kansas.
For years Tiller has been able to avoid his dance with destiny and justice, but a recent decision by the trial judge sets the case for trial.
If Obama wants to have a debate about the Kansas governor's bloody hands in this mess, then the American people are going to learn a whole lot more about late term abortions than they will ever want to know.

The majority of this week's parshah is a long poem by Moses, detailing the future of the Jewish People. He tells the Israelites that if they forsake God, God will punish them with famines, plagues, and oppressors, but if they return to God, God will end the punishment. As most of Prophets demonstrates, Moses' prophecy was spot on.
Not only is this poem a prophecy, but it is also traditionally considered to be one of just ten true Songs in the history of the world. A Song such as this only occurs spontaneously, at a moment when someone has such a connection to God that things click into place and they seem to understand the workings of God's universe. They understand why things happen the way that they do, and thus are able to praise God in such a sincere, poetic, and beautiful way. These Songs have been written by prophets and prophetesses, by the great psalmist King David and the wise King Solomon. One was even written by Adam as he lived in the paradise of the Garden of Eden. But only Moses had such a connection with God that he was able to not only praise God, as all the other Songs do, but to weave prophecy throughout a Song as well.
After forty-three verses of Song, Moses follows up with a quick warning to the people to stay true to God, reinforcing the theme of the Song. Then the parshah ends in a very strange way: Right after Moses, the greatest prophet to ever rise in Israel, the only person to ever know God face to "face," has finished praising God and warning the people that they had better stay true to God, "The Lord spoke to Moses on that very day saying: 'Ascend to this mount of Avarim, Mount Nevo, which is in the land of Moab, which is before Jericho, and see the land of Canaan that I give to the Children of Israel as an inheritance, and die on the mountain where you will ascend, and be gathered to your people, because you trespassed against Me among the Children of Israel at the wastes of Merivat-kadesh, in the Wilderness of Zin; because you did not sanctify Me among the Children of Israel. For from a distance shall you see the land, but you shall not enter there, into the land that I give to the Children of Israel (Deut. 32:48-52).'" Why, after Moses has achieved such a great connection with God, does God immediately remind Moses of his punishment? Additionally, punishing Moses for his sin is one thing, but to order him to go and die on a mountain from where he must see the land that he is barred from entering seems cruel.
By standing on Mount Nevo as the Israelites cross into the Promised Land, Moses is performing one final service to God before his death. While Moses must watch the Israelites cross into the Promised Lands, the Israelites will also be able to see Moses on the other side of the Jordan. And he himself will serve as a warning to the Israelites that what he has told them in his Song, and what he has been trying to tell them throughout Deuteronomy, is true: If they do not stay true to God, God will take their land away from them, just as God has done to Moses. For who among them could say "I am too pious for God to punish me for a few small misdeeds if I do not repent," when God has done exactly that to Moses, God's most loyal servant? This is an important lesson for the High Holiday season, for who among us can say this as well?

Picture: Pretty in Pink The Ideas and Idols Exhibition private view, held at the scream gallery. London, England - 21.02.08
Pretty In Pink star Jon Cryer and his wife Lisa Joyner have adopted a baby daughter.
Just a week after Cryer cryptically mentioned his "baby girl" during his Best Supporting Actor acceptance speech at the Emmy Awards, the 44 year old's publicist has confirmed he's a dad again.
Baby Daisy, born on 11 August (09), is Cryer's first child with 42-year-old Joyner, who he married in 2007.
The actor has a nine-year-old son, Charlie, from his first marriage to Sarah Trigger.
Cryer is the second TV star in as many weeks to adopt - Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl and her husband Josh Kelley took custody of 10-month-old Korean girl Nancy Leigh earlier this month (Sep09).

The pigs are in the water, not easily spilled on the ground, and then the water dispenser is pig can guarantee the bed drying, cleaning, long for farrowing.
There are basically four types of water dispenser, such as connected style, cup style, nipple style, and duck's mouth style.
The drinking bowl of the style of the nipple is composed of the body of the water dispenser, the rod of the valve, the ball of the steel, and the net of the water filter. There is a bare grain on the bottom, which can be fixed directly to the water supply pipe.
So what are the advantages of it? The drinking water structure of the nipple style is not complex and the cost is not high.
What's the disadvantage of it? Enter the drinking fountains there should be designed to prevent impurities in network, influence the health of pigs, drinking fountains, and let closed lax. The nipple style water dispenser is very easy to leak, and it is difficult to ensure the dry exercises on the ground. It is suitable to be placed on the stool passage or on the sewn floor.
For the duckbill style water bowl, there are two styles for the piglet and the big pig. It is 60 on the ground. The tilt angle is connected by the elbow and the water pipe. The height of the placement varies with the changes in the growth period of the pig. The piglets are basically 25 to 30 centimeters, and the young pigs are 50 to 60 centimeters, and the adult pigs are 85 centimeters of 75.

Eggs at the Coffee Table
I was having rough morning. Who am I kidding… I had been having a rough couple of weeks. Nugget has been cutting two top teeth and two top molars for what feels like 52 years. It's been a drooling, crying, waking up at 3am nightmare around this house. But Sunday was bad. I woke up after not much sleep with a crick in my neck so painful that I couldn't move my head. Uh great. That's super helpful when you are the only parent on that day and have a 23 pound......

Garlic Scape and Salmon Frittata
This is a summer favorite in the Kosher, She Eats kitchen. We grow our own garlic scapes and jalapeños and Kosher Hubby cold smokes his own salmon. (Yes, I know… overachievers.)

I will share the 'recipe' and preparation instructions below but first some ideas and explanations. What are garlic scapes? There are two main varieties of garlics and many sub-varieties. These two main varieties are hard-neck and soft-neck.......

Today, concessions are the most popular type of public-private partnership (both in Ukraine and abroad), but currently almost all concession projects in Ukraine are small and implemented in the area of housing and communal services (collection/purification/distribution of water and collection/removal/recycling of waste). However, the concession mechanism, subject to its proper legal framework, may be used both for large-scale infrastructure projects (ports, railways, aviation and roads), as well as for the effective possession and management of state assets that are not subject to privatization.
The concession concept appeared in Ukrainian legislation in 1999, with the adoption of the Law of Ukraine "On Concessions". Today, there are already 4 laws governing the issue of concessions in general and for certain sectors/facilities. However, the relevant laws offer regulation that is not very attractive to investors, offering the incomprehensible and complex mechanism for transferring facilities to a concession. In recent years, negotiations on the need to improve concession legislation, which would increase the attractiveness of Ukraine as a concessor, have been actively held.
On 03.04.2018, The Ukrainian Parliament passed in the first reading Draft Law of Ukraine No. 8125 "On Concessions" (hereinafter referred to as the Draft). The first presentation of the Draft, which had been developed with participation of EBRD experts, was held in September last year. Even then, it was stated that the Draft was intended not only to harmonize existing concession laws, but also to take into account the requirements of European legislation in the relevant area. We suggest to discuss in more detail the specific provisions of the Draft, trying to understand its advantages and potential shortcomings.
So, unlike the current legislation, the Draft stipulates that initiators of concession proposal preparation may be not only executive authorities, local self-governments, ARC and state-owned enterprises, but also investors (both residents and non-residents). Undoubtedly, such an innovation is positive and will allow investors to invest in projects that interest them.
In general, at the moment, the Draft provides for the transfer of a particular facility to a concession on the basis of a concession tender. At the same time, in certain cases, the Draft allows concluding a concession contract without conducting a respective tender – through direct negotiations. The relevant decision may be taken by the Cabinet of Ministers, when it is necessary to guarantee national security and defense, when works (services) can be performed by only one person (in cases of know-how, copyrights, etc.) or when a positive conclusion is obtained following an effectiveness assessment of the concession implementation following the analysis of the person's proposal. On the one hand, it looks like a simplification of the procedure for investors, but on the other hand, this possibility contains certain corruption risks.
An interesting innovation in the Draft is the possibility of actually transforming a lease of state-owned facilities into a concession. The Draft provides that a concession contract can be concluded without holding a tender through direct negotiations with the lessee subject to meeting certain requirements: regarding the term of the contract, the absence of significant violations of the lease agreement, the lessee's compliance with the requirements set by the concessionaire, etc. Unfortunately, the Draft provisions regarding such a transformation have not yet been finalized. In particular, it is unclear what to consider as a significant breach of the lease agreement, and what should be included in a conceptual note that is to be submitted by the lessee in the process of preparing the proposal regarding the concession.
It is worth paying attention to the issue of providing the concessionaire with a land plot for the implementation of the project. According to the Draft, conditions for the provision of such a plot, as it is now, constitute essential conditions of a concession contract. Unlike the Draft, the current legislation did not contain detailed conditions for the allocation of the relevant land plot. Instead, the Draft stipulates that the formation of the respective land plot is provided by the concessor, but all expenses associated with it are then compensated by the concessionaire. The Draft also provides that in the case of failure to grant the concessionaire the right to use the land plot within 9 months, he has the right to terminate the contract unilaterally. It is still unclear whether in such a case the concessionaire will be able to recover his losses and whether his registration fee (the amount of which is sufficiently significant and may amount to 500 minimum wages) will be returned to him.
Just as the current legislation, the Draft provides for the possibility of transferring to the concessionaire certain rights and obligations of the company, which assets have been transferred to the concession. At the same time, the Draft contains more detailed provisions on the succession of a concessionaire, which is possible in case of dissolution of the company, which entire property is transferred to the concession. Such succession includes, inter alia, the transfer of rights and obligations in court proceedings, open enforcement proceedings, as well as the company's earnings. This provision can hardly be considered attractive to a potential investor, as it may lead to significant additional and unpredictable expenses. Undoubtedly, the Draft's provisions regarding the possibility of the parties to choose a concession contract mechanism and a procedure for resolving disputes between the parties to the concession contract in national, international commercial or investment arbitration sound good. The current legislation also provided for the possibility of resolving disputes in an international arbitration court, but the Draft has more detailed provisions in this regard.
The Draft also contains a number of other short innovations, including regarding the payment of concession fees; the possibility of concluding a concession contracts with the next participant (in case of not concluding a contract with the tender winner); the possibility of involving advisers (for developing proposals and tender documentation), international financial organizations, etc. In addition, the Draft contains specific provisions regarding construction/operation of motor roads under concession conditions, when the conditions for conducting the respective concession tender are to be approved by the CMU.
In general, the Draft looks fairly integrated, but the implementation of some of its provisions would require the adoption of by-laws (for example, on monitoring the implementation of concession contracts, the inspection of leased facilities to be transferred to a concession, the involvement of advisers). It should be noted that the adoption of the Draft will require the introduction of certain amendments to the Law of Ukraine "On Public-Private Partnership", which contains general provisions for the implementation of all forms of such partnership, including concession.
In general, the Draft makes it possible to create a transparent and simple concession mechanism (subject to its proper revision), which should contribute to the improvement of the investment climate in Ukraine. We hope therefore that the Draft will be improved in the near future and finally adopted by the Parliament, especially in view of the recent official launch of the concession projects regarding SE "Stevedoring Company "Olvia" and SE "Kherson Sea Commercial Port", the selection of a concessionaire for which may be performed under the new procedure.

Taipei WhiskyLive Expo 2013
You know I love me a good booze-fiend expo, and I'm a bit of a whiskey dog, so Taipei WhiskyLive was right up my alley. Having no idea that there apparently were similar expos in 2011 and 2012, I excitedly rolled up to this one ready to try me some fancy rotgut.
We had a big Indian lunch, which was good - smart to start on a full stomach and delicious meal. Brendan joined my friend Joseph, my sister Becca and I for lunch and then saw us off - he's not so into whiskey.
I went with a budget of NT$3000 (about US$100), figuring with the discounts on offer that I could get myself a pretty nice bottle or two without breaking the bank, and also knowing that a budget was essential: I am quite aware that I am capable of spending that much and more on good whiskey.
For the cost of NT$500 (the price of one admission ticket), you get a free glass (it's lovely and tulip-shaped and is engraved with "Taipei WhiskyLive". Like at wine expo, you can try several different kinds of products, but while WhiskyLive is smaller than wine expo, it seemed to be more crowded. There weren't as many booths and there were far fewer "small booths of importers and distributors selling a curated selection of fine labels". WhiskyLive had a few of these, but it seemed anchored by lots of big "brand name" booths, in various degrees of fancy set-up.
You could even pay extra for special tastings or tastings of very expensive whiskeys - I felt that after paying NT$500 to get in that I wasn't going to pay for tastings once inside. There were also classes held and full-on tastings with professionals.
You could also pay extra for access to something called "Jim Murray's Inner Sanctum", which...well, maybe they need a new name for that. One thing I don't want to enter is Jim Murray's inner sanctum (or anyone else's for that matter).
Best line from the expo was from one such tasting - "and now let's try the twelve-year-old!"
Think novelty photos, whiskey ice cream (so-so) separately built spaces that you have to queue up or pay a fee to enter complete with fancy colored mood lighting, smoke machines, chrome and marble tabletops, leather sofas etc., and large signage for well-known whiskey purveyors - Suntory, Johnnie Walker, Macallan, The Famous Grouse, Glenmorangie and Ardbeg, Highland Park etc. etc..
Because whiskey has a kind of "businessman" vibe in Asia, not in quite the way wine does, this place wasn't geared toward foodies/gourmets/whiskey aficionados so much as businessmen who think they're aficionados but are really in it because it's expensive and an image boost.
So...smoke machines, fancy "VIP" areas, and booth babes.
Lots of booth babes.
But there were still some good things to try, and anyway one can't drink too much whiskey. I was quite taken with a brand called Ben Nevins...I tried some, immediately started calling it "Ned Bevins", and moved on to try some more kinds before making a decision of what to buy.
We tried some Japanese whiskies - "I still liked the Venn Beavis!"
We tried some samples of other alcohols - there were also booths for midori, rum and Svedka vodka - and something good called The Arran - "that was good, I'll probably buy some, but I also really liked that Len Kravitz." I've had Hibiki before but I was happy to enjoy some again, and plenty of distributors had various kinds of Laphroiag (spelling?) on offer. I can get that in Taipei, though, at a regular store, so I'm not too worried about it.
"OK, so you got your ridiculous photos with these Johnnie Walker people. Now let's go so I can buy some Zen Nebbits!"
Joseph: "It's Ben Nevis."
"Yeah, Venn Bobbit!"
"Bob Venus!"
Anyway, I got my Zen Levitz (13 year), and also tried a rather nice "heavily peated" whiskey from these fellows:
And a delicious NT$6000 (approx. US$200) whiskey that was just as expensive on discount...
And also got The Arran 12 Year, which has a nice caramelly taste.
I did like that while people seemed surprised at times when I asked to taste the peatiest whiskies and the oldest vintages with the strongest flavors, but I didn't have to literally wave away bottles of lighter, sweeter whiskies that I wasn't as interested in. At wine expo, I felt at times like people saw me (a woman) and picked up the light, fizzy, white or pink wines and I had to be more aggressive in demanding (nicely) what I really wanted samples of: the darker, spicier, woodier, drier wines.
I also appreciated that the crowd was mixed. No idea how 'into' whiskey the women where, but some sure seemed to be. A refreshing change from the common teetotalling, or "I'll drink one Taiwan Beer fruit flavor, that's all!". Which, of course, is fine - I'd never pressure someone to drink something they didn't want to or couldn't handle (I didn't pressure Brendan to come to this expo at all), but it's nice to be around others I can enjoy a nice whiskey with. Men and women.
All in all, a great way to spend a rainy Sunday in Taipei.

It's less an album than an environment all its own, or a journey into the unexplored. And whether it's inspiring a trip deep into the discography of Steve Reich or into California's beautifully desolate Ansel Adams Wilderness, it's that fearless spirit of exploration that brought Automaton to life.

And this.
Turns out when you live in a house that is 30+ years old, things are gonna break. And pipes are gonna leak. Kind of like us girls. But I'm pretty sure this leak wasn't caused by giving birth to two children, or sneezing, or running, or spontaneous jumping up and down while cheering at a sporting event. I digress. As my luck would have it, I discovered said leak AFTER the hubby had left for work. So I assessed the situation and did what any good blogger/crafter/repurposer would do.

Sarnia Observer, Paul Morden
One of the first wind turbine project proposals in Lambton County appears to have pulled up stakes and left. Michael Schnare, administrator-clerk of Dawn-Euphemia Township, said landowners who had signed leases with the Sydenham Wind Energy Centre received letters recently from the developer saying the project is not going ahead.
"Mainsteam is no longer an active proponent here," Schnare said. "They're gone." While the township hasn't received official word from the company, landowners who signed leases allowing turbines to be built by Mainstream on their property received letters saying "they don't think they could make a viable application under the new rules for energy procurement," he said. Those landowners include Mayor Bill Bilton, who signed a lease several years ago.
Bilton said the letter he received a few weeks ago from the company said "they were terminating the project" and releasing landowners from their leases. "Wind mills have gotten to be such a controversial subject, it doesn't really disappoint me," the mayor said. Read article

Helpful and understanding
Just wanted to say a couple of quick complements for Justin O'Connell - my contractor recommended him as my contact at your business and I can see why. Justin was very attentive and listened to my thinking and specific needs for an upcoming renovation. He offered suggestions for materials and explained the reasoning for using them over other products. In the end, he even helped me to see why choosing a specific flooring across the majority of my downstairs would even be a better option for cleaning and maintenance. I couldn't be happier with the knowledge and help Justin displayed.
Response from ProSource of Dulles
Hi Doug, thank you so much for the positive review. We are so happy that Justin could take care of you and he will be thrilled to hear the compliments. Hope to see you on the next project!

They have been wonderful to work with--knowledgeable about all products, timely response and and always willing to help, no matter what is needed. I highly recommend working with either of these two gentleman. They work above and beyond which is hard to find in the design industry.

They know their products and have outstanding service
I had the opportunity to work with Justin at ProSource to pick out several items for our master bath and bedroom remodel. His knowledge of products was most helpful when picking out the items necessary to stay within my budget and meet my design vision. Only one hiccup for me, I went over budget on carpet but I just couldn't resist. Upon one of my trips to the showroom, l told Justin I was looking for carpet and what type. He took me directly to them in the showroom and pointed out the multitude of selections they had to offer. When I shared it was only for the master bedroom, he asked if I would like to see what he would use if it was his house. He brought me the softest carpet I ever felt (we called it bunny carpet, because it''s just that soft) - I was hooked. I knew it would be more than I had budgeted. He could see I was somewhat torn on what to do so he gave me samples of several types and sent me home to share with my husband. Of course, in the feel test my husband was hooked too, so decision made! While I did go over on carpet, Justin worked with me to figure out a way to decrease some of the cost on the hardwood which actually worked better with my design so the stain matched, so technically it all a wash. Should I have another project (which I am sure will happen) this will be the first place I go even before finding a contractor to do the work. Thank you Justin and G for helping me have the dream master suit!
Response from ProSource of Dulles
Wow, Sheryl, Thank you! We are so happy, that you are happy. We will make sure to pass on the compliments to Justin - he will be thrilled. Enjoy your new "Bunny carpet" and we will see you on the next project!

We couldn't be happier with the personal knowledge and service that we have received from Justin O'Connell. His familiarity with the showroom and goods made our choices much easier to come by. We have used ProSource {Justin} not only for our remodeling business but for our own personal home as well. We certainly will continue to work with him, A+!! What a great selection they offer, full stop shop.
Response from ProSource of Dulles
Hi Heather, thank you for the positive feedback. We will make sure to pass on these kind words to Justin and glad that you have had such a great experience at our showroom. Come back soon!

Excellent high quality service
Kitchen and Bath Designer, Vibha Bhagwat worked with us to replace damaged kitchen and bathroom cabinets. We had purchased the cabinets from a company that has since gone out of business. Since ProSource carries the brand of cabinets, we came to Vibha for help. She helped us identify exactly what pieces we needed, provided us with a price quote, and ordered the cabinets for us. She was very knowledgeable, thorough, and very easy to work with. My husband and I commented several times on what great customer service we received from ProSource.
Response from ProSource of Dulles
Anne, thank you so much for providing us with your experience in our showroom. We are so happy to hear that you received exactly what you were looking for. We will pass along the kind words to Vibha. Thank you and come back any time!

American Yard - One Day At A Time
- Artist: American Yard
- Track: One Day At A Time
- Producer: Minim (Co-Produced by Stevie English)
- Album: Untitled Debut
Imagine an international hit record—what sound springs to mind? If you ask me, a worldwide smash is something that would make good background music at a soccer game, accompanied by the voices of 100,000 screaming fans. If their latest single is any indication, American Yard are in agreement. On arena-ready banger One Day At A Time, USA representative Blewz, Britain's Steve English, and Jamaica's Stacy-Ann join forces to—you guessed it—take over the world! ("Of course!") And what's a global domination scheme without some powerful production? Minim and Steve English's amped-up instrumental fits the bill and then some, complete with a massive drumline and a chanting crowd. If you think the Yard have got what it takes to achieve global (and chart) supremacy, help them out by giving ODAAT the rotation it deserves, and watch for their as-yet untitled debut album to hit stores in late fall.
