There's far more to stone cleaning than a high-pressure hose; for a start it's absolutely vital to understand the stone you're cleaning.
Conservation is all about minimum invasion, it's about maintaining integrity and being honest to what the original builders intended and what's left of it.
Restoration is not so much the process of restoring as new, but restoring as should be, and we're experts. We have over 40 years experience in working with stone.
We could use hundreds of words describing what we can do. We are able to take architects drawings and, using our CAD capability, develop these into a fully sectioned and priced proposal.

How To Protest Property Tax in Austin
The new tax assessed property values were mailed to homeowners throughout Texas recently and people in Austin and surrounding areas are experiencing sticker shock to find their values have gone up tens of thousands of dollars in just one year. I took a class this week so I could learn even more about the process to protest property tax in Austin and share the most current accurate information with you.
The property taxing system is a cycle with 4 parts:
Phase 1 – Appraisal – occurs between Jan. 1 and April 30. This is when the county determines the value of every property using a computer algorithm. It's not personal, it's not specific. Then the notices we are all panicking about are mailed.
Phase 2 – Equalization. Yes, it is part of the cycle for homeowners to protest their values and help determine a more accurate one. Think of it like a check and balance.
Phase 3 – Adopting a Budget – comes after the protest period has ended and the values, and anticipated revenues – are set. This is meeting the public can attend.
Phase 4 – Collecting Taxes – is from Oct. – Jan. 31st of the following year.
Let's focus on Phase 2 – Equalization. What are your options?
- Don't do anything. Accept the value your property was assigned by the computer system and prepare to pay that increased tax bill.
- Protest your property tax in Austin. Complete the Travis County tax protest form and send it in by May 31st. Check both boxes "Value is over market value" AND "Value is unequal compared to other properties". That way you have options as you do your research. Check YES for "I want to receive a copy of hearing procedures". I recommend filing as close to May 31st as you can without being late. Hearings are done in the order received, and if others homes' values in your area have had successful protests before your hearing, that data will help you. You will need access to the data for comparable homes sold in your neighborhood between Oct. 1 of last year and March 31 of this year.
You can ask a Realtor to help, but be aware that if you don't have a relationship with that person or experience with their attention to detail, you may not get the best information. In general, our market has increased in value a great deal. You want to find the nuances that can show why your property shouldn't follow the average, and those are time consuming to research.
You can hire a firm on contingency to do the work for you. They take between 35-60% of the tax savings they get you. Average success rate is 90% and they average a 10% reduction. So if they save you $1,000 in taxes they collect between $350 and $500. If there is no reduction, there is no cost.
Remember you can actually protest two things - the lot value and/or the structure value. It seems that this year the appraisers did a better job of differentiating between lot sizes. So if you have a larger lot, you probably saw a more significant increase this year. You can still protest your lot value if for example, you have drainage issues, or it's not flat and buildable.
If you or someone you know needs help understanding their Travis County property tax valuation and their options to protest property tax in Austin, we can help! Email email@example.com with your property address and contact information and we will go from there.

Strawberry Thumbprints
Ground walnuts add a nutty taste to the cookie that pairs deliciously with the strawberry filling. if it's easier, use your finger instead of your thumb to press the indentations into the balls of cookie dough.
Beat butter, 1/2 cup of the sugar, yolk, vanilla and salt until fluffy. Add walnuts and flour. Blend on low speed just until combined; dough will be crumbly but moist. Gather dough together with your hands to form a ball. Divide dough in half; wrap in plastic, refrigerate for 1 hour.Advertisement
Heat oven to 375°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with nonstick foil. Break off 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball. Then, roll ball in remaining 1/2 cup sugar to coat. Place on prepared baking sheet. Press a deep indentation into center of dough, large enough to hold 1/2 teaspoon jam. Fill indentation with jam; repeat to form 36 cookies.
Bake cookies at 375°F for 12 to 14 minutes, rotating pans halfway through, until lightly golden. Cool on pans on racks for 5 minutes; use a spatula to transfer cookies to racks to cool completely.

Reporting Banded Waterfowl
I smirked as Travis fiddled with his shotgun. We were set up along a wet-weather pond awaiting flights of teal, whistlers, and mottled ducks. The autoloader had been jamming with regularity over the last couple of hunts. At camp the day before, he'd disassembled it to its basic elements to lubricate, but it was still acting up. Mine, for a change, was humming right along. Well, a pair of mottled ducks came flaring into the decoys. We stood and each… Read More »

Some of the Dirties Places!
Toothbrush Holder
The toothbrush holder was named the third-germiest spot in the home in a 2011 study. Flushing a toilet that's near a toothbrush holder exposes it to a plume of contaminated water droplets. To clean, run it through the dishwasher's high-temperature cycle or wash weekly in hot water and follow with a disinfecting wipe.
Pet Areas
Animal Environments
Germs at School
A 2006 study in two Michigan schools found about 800 times more germs on classroom water fountains than on toilet seats. Plastic cafeteria trays were another hot spot. But another study found that grade-schoolers' absences for illness were cut in half when children used hand sanitizers and when areas such as desktops were disinfected daily.
In the Coatroom
Play Spots and Gyms
Schools and day care centers, especially those with sports or playground facilities and equipment, are hot spots for the spread of bacteria such as MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). Staph bacteria enter the body through uncovered cuts and open wounds. Sharing towels and playing contact sports such as wrestling are other ways it spreads.
Shopping Malls
Seriously, If you stop and Read and think about it, These all make sense!

The job of the drive shaft is to transfer the rotational energy of the engine from the differentials or gearbox to your vehicle's wheels. You will normally see drive shafts being used in vehicles that have rear-wheel drive. The back of the transmission has a rotating output shaft which then rotates the driveshaft that is connected to it. This starts a chain reaction where it rotates the ring gear of the differential when then rotates the vehicle's wheels. Since driveshafts spin rapidly to create this turning effect, they need to be weighted and balanced just right. Otherwise, the driveshafts will start to make noise as you try turning, braking, and reversing. If these noises are not taken care of quickly, the symptoms could progress into something much worse which will impact your driving altogether.
The Top 3 Causes
The slightest problem with the drive shaft can cause these noises to occur when braking, reversing, and/or turning. To learn about what the various causes may be, below are the top 3 causes associated with drive shaft noise.
1) Bad Bearings or Bushings – The drive shaft receives support from a bearing or bushing. It works to support each section of the driveshaft by keeping them connected. The inside is usually made of rubber to give it added support. If you were to have bad bearings or bushings, then it will cause unusual noises to develop from your drive shaft because the intensity of the vibrations will increase.
2) Bad U-joints – Universal joints, or U-joints, are responsible for keeping stiff rods connected together when they have two inclining axes. If these joints were to get damaged, fail, or wear out from excessive use, then the rotation of your drive shaft will malfunction as well. Then you will hear all kinds of unusual sounds, such as scraping, rattling, or possibly even clunking.
3) Dislocated Drive shaft – If you let your U-joints get in too bad of shape, your entire driveshaft could become dislocated and actually fall onto the pavement as you're driving. Once this happens, you won't be driving for very much longer anyway because power will no longer be able to get transferred to the wheels of your vehicle. Prior to the dislocation, the noises you hear when turning and braking will grow to be much louder. Let this be a sign to get your driveshaft replaced before it drops out entirely from the assembly.
Read also: The Causes Noise and Vibration in Wheel Areas
Replacement Cost
The cost of replacing the drive shaft will be anywhere from $500, to $3,000. It really depends on what the make and model of your vehicle is. Most of the expense will come from the cost of the drive shaft part itself. This part is cheaper for some vehicles than it is for other vehicles. For example, the 2010 Buick LaCrosse's drive shaft part will cost just $420. But if you have a 2008 BMW 335i, then you are looking at about $2,899 to replace your drive shaft. You can see the big price difference there and it mainly relates to the make and model.
As for the labor costs, those are actually quite low. You may only pay between $70 and $200 for those labor costs because it doesn't take the mechanic too long to perform the replacement job. The best way to save money on the labor costs will be to shop around for a good mechanic who has the cheapest hourly rate. Otherwise, if you are comfortable trying to replace it yourself or know somebody who can do it for you, then you can save a little bit of money on the labor costs that way. But since most of the expense goes toward the cost of the part, it doesn't really matter anyway.

A Council of Dragons
I've got a few things to post on my blog today, so I'll start with something I promised in a reply yesterday. Ever since I started my little comic strips with Frank, I've realized there was a lot of potential there. I wanted to expand the cast of the comic strips a little bit. First it was just me and Frank. Then I added a bunch of family for the Christmas visit from H-E-double-hockey sticks and my kids got in on the act, too. The most recent addition has been Hip the dragon. Well, Hip's about to steal the limelight a bit. The picture below is a gathering of my wife's dragons (not all, but a handful of them). Within the next week, I plan to do a comic strip entry, and it will be the first without Frank. A sign that the comic strip portion of my blog is really taking on a life of it's own.
I took a bunch of pictures of the dragons earlier this week, so hopefully I can get a lot of mileage out of these guys as Hip is inducted into the "Dragon Queen's Council of Dragons." For now, that's what I think they'll be called anyway. We'll have to wait and see.
Speaking of Hip, I need to give a shout out to CarnivAOL. "Frank Meets Hip," episodes I & II are both being featured in the latest edition of the blog that highlights blogs. Paul's given the Lair a few mentions since I first started this thing, so I definitely owe him quite a bit of thanks.

The Enthusiastic Employee is an action-oriented book that helps companies obtain more from workers. The basic premise is that under the right kind of leadership, the more one side wins in a collaborative relationship, the more¿the other side wins too. The book is heavily evidence-based (using extensive employee survey data) and lays out two basic ideas: the "Three-Factor Theory" of human motivation at work and the "Partnership" company culture that is based on the Three-Factor Theory and that, by far, brings out the best in people as they respond with enthusiasm about what they do and the company they do it for.
Drawing on research with 13,000,000+ employees in 840+ companies, The Enthusiastic Employee, Second Edition tells you what managers (from first-line supervisor to senior leadership) do wrong. Then it tells you something much more important: what to do instead. David Sirota and Douglas Klein detail exactly how to create an environment where enthusiasm flourishes and businesses excel. Extensively updated with new research, case studies, and techniques (they have added over 8.6 million employees and over 400 companies to their analyses ), it now contains a detailed study of Mayo Clinic, one of the world's most effective healthcare organizations and a true representation of the principle of partnership, as well as more in-depth descriptions of private sector exemplars of partnership, such as Costco.
17 Rules Successful Companies Use to Attract and Keep Top Talent: Why Engaged Employees Are Your Greatest Sustainable Advantage, first edition, ¿is about building an outstanding workforce, one that sets your company apart from competitors and is a true competitive advantage. It's about building a workforce that's truly engaged, committed, aligned with strategy, and capable of incredible performance. Simply put, it's about optimizing the #1 factor associated with outsmarting, outhustling, and out-executing your competition: your people. Through more than a dozen case studies, top workforce optimization consultant David Russo identifies exactly what great organizations do differently when it comes to managing their people. He distills these differences into 17 rules, covering everything from resourcing and compensation to leadership development, risk-taking to change management. You'll learn exactly how to apply these rules in your organization, whether you're large or small, high-tech or low-tech, profit-making or non-profit. Using Russo's techniques, companies can build genuine esprit de corps, virtually guaranteeing that the efforts, minds, and hearts of their employees are focused on the corporate mission, and challenged with producing outstanding results and competitive advantage. What's more, this book's techniques help companies attract and retain the kinds of talent best suited to their unique work environments, promoting long-term success, not just short-term "quick fixes."

Clinical factors related to the frequency and intensity of glistenings in AcrySof intraocular lenses.
Moreno-Montañés J, Alvarez A, Rodríguez-Conde R, Fernández-Hortelano A.
Departamento de Oftalmología, Clínica Universitaria, Universidad de Navarra, Pamplona, Spain.
Magazine: Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery
Date: Oct 1, 2003Ophthalmology
To assess the frequency of glistenings in eyes that had phacoemulsification and implantation of AcrySof intraocular lenses (IOLs) (Alcon) and to evaluate the clinical factors related to the glistenings.
Departamento de Oftalmología, Clínica Universitaria, Universidad de Navarra, Pamplona, Spain.
A consecutive series of 129 eyes of 94 patients was prospectively evaluated. All patients had cataract surgery and implantation of an MA30BA AcrySof IOL by the same surgeon using the same technique. The operating surgeon examined patients for the presence of glistenings. The frequency and intensity of glistenings were assessed in relation to 14 clinical factors.
The effect of glistenings on postoperative Snellen best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was also evaluated. RESULTS: Glistenings, which occurred in 38 cases (29.5%), were slight in 15 eyes, moderate in 18, and intense in 5. The frequency of the glistenings was related to the time between surgery and evaluation (P =.0001), the IOL dioptric power (P =.01), postoperative inflammation (P =.01), and phacotrabeculectomy (P =.01). The intensity of the glistenings was related to the time after surgery (P =.01) and presence of postoperative inflammation (P =.004). No relation between glistenings and Snellen BCVA was found.
The frequency and intensity of glistenings in AcrySof IOLs increased with time after surgery and were higher when postoperative inflammation was present. Glistenings developed more frequently in cases of phacotrabeculectomy but not after combined phacoemulsification and deep sclerectomy. Glistenings did not result in decreased Snellen BCVA.

Home + Garden Show returns to Stampede grounds Feb. 25-28
Change your world, one cabbage at a time: That's how Calgary gardening guru Donna Balzer wants to inspire folks at this year's Calgary Home + Garden Show, which runs Feb. 25 to 28.
"I'll help people understand why it's so important for us to take control of our own food," said Balzer, a CREB®Now regular columnist who will be among dozens of featured presenters at the four-day event, which is expected to attract more than 60,000 visitors this year.
"I want people to realize they can have an impact and help them discover how they can do it."
What's more, Balzer said she wants "to get rid of the guff" when it comes to gardening.
"There's a lot of misinformation out there," said the author of No Guff Vegetable Gardening, who will be sharing gardening tips n' tricks during her presentations Friday and Sunday.
Balzer said all gardeners, novice and seasoned alike, will be able to take away something from her presentation, whether that involves the dispelling of long-believed guffs, or learning about new movements in the gardening realm, such as the importance of re-mineralizing the soil.
To that end, Balzer said gardeners should be thinking about re-mineralizing the soil beyond "the big three" of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. In fact, Balzer will unveil her recipe for a complete organic fertilizer at this year's Calgary Home + Garden Show.
Balzer won't be the only one discussing gardening at this year's show. HGTV star Carson Arthur will also be talking about gardening in small, indoor spaces – in particular, how it represents an emerging trend among millennials who are looking for ways to grow edibles, even in the confines of condos and townhomes.
"The baby-boomer generation loved gardening (and) Generation X started phasing it out as a hobby. But now, millennials want to grow vegetables. They want to have heirloom tomatoes," said Arthur, adding he's noticing more Canadians, particularly in their 20s and 30s, who are attracted to leading sustainable lifestyles.
With renewed interest in all things "soil," gardening shows are set for a big return to the small screen after toiling in obscurity in recent years, said Arthur, who is co-host of HGTV's Critical Listing and star of the new series Home to Win.
In fact, his presentations on Saturday and Sunday at this year's Calgary Home + Garden Show will explore the "endangered" status of such shows and their impending re-birth, as signalled by what Arthur estimates is more than 10 million gardening-related blogs currently online.
Arthur will also keep his attention at this year's show to outside the home with a presentation on Saturday titled Top 5 Places to Renovate Outdoors.
"There are great opportunities for renovations outdoors that offer bigger returns than kitchen and bath renos," he said. "The first impression your home makes can impact home value by eight per cent."
Other featured presenters at this year's show will include André Chevigny of HGTV's Timber Kings; design and lifestyle expert Amanda Forrest, who'll be talking about incorporating colour into the home; and arborist Michael Alkema, who'll be offering a presentation on tree care in Calgary.
In addition to a full lineup of speakers, this year's show will also offer on-site workshops on everything from the art of floral arranging to how to make trendy terrariums and shadowbox planters.
The show floor itself will see some 650 exhibitors, most of them featuring products and services related to landscaping, gardening, home renovation and home exteriors. Food trucks will also be on site for "nutritional re-fueling."
Assistant show manager Jenn Tait expects this year's show to attract more than 60,000 visitors. In particular, she points out the popular Ask-an-Expert feature, presented by CREB®Now, where renovators, interior designers and landscapers will be available throughout the four-day event for complimentary consultations with attendees.
Tait said attendees can also walk through a feature home on location for inspiration regarding layout, landscaping and garage design.
The Ultimate Upcycle Challenge also returns to this year's show. Local personalities will be upcycling second-hand items into planters, which will be up for auction with proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity.
The Calgary Home & Garden Show will take place at the BMO Centre and Corral on the Stampede grounds Thursday, Feb. 25 and Friday, Feb 26 from noon to 9 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 27 from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday, Feb. 28 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Admission is $16 for adults, $13 for seniors and free for children under 12. Attendees booking online will receive $3 off. Seniors day returns Friday, Feb. 26 with $7 admission before 5 p.m.

For the next few posts on my blog, I'll be sharing with you several handy travel tips that I've learned over the years in the travel industry. Hopefully, they will make you better prepared, allow you to save some time / money, and make your vacation more enjoyable.
Tip #1
Take pictures of your kids each morning. When traveling with children, use your cell phone or digital camera and take a picture of your kids each morning. Then if they get separated from you, you will have an exact description of what they look like and what they were wearing that day.
Tip #2
Pack old clothing that can be left behind. With airlines charging fees for checked luggage, I always suggest to clients who are flying to multiple destinations on a single trip, to pack lots of old clothing that they don't mind wearing and leaving behind along the way. This allows for extra room in your luggage for souvenirs and other purchases made on the trip. Old items, such as gloves, sweaters, tee shirts, socks, and even shoes can be left in the hotel rooms. The room attendants have the option of discarding them or recycling them.
Tip #3
Scan the first couple pages of your passport and e-mail it to yourself. This way, you have access to it from anywhere there's internet access. In the event of an emergency, you can print / forward the passport images to the proper authorities for fast and efficient processing of a replacement.
Tip #4
Photocopy the first couple pages of your passport. Take it with you on your trip but separate from the real passport. Also, leave a copy with a family member and/or close friend back home. In the event of an emergency and it needs to be replaced while on vacation, having photocopies will help expedite the process of getting it replaced.
Tip #5
Pack your clothes in Ziploc plastic bags. As you zip them shut, squeeze all the air out so they go completely flat. It's amazing how much you can pack, using so little space. If you are packing toiletries and cosmetics in your check-in luggage, Ziploc plastic bags are very handy. Plus it minimizes any chance of spillage or breakage during the flight. It works great!
If you have any suggestions that you would like to share with others, share it with others in the comments.

Dominic, our first born, was born two weeks late. Charlotte came two days early. Dom came under threat of induction. Charlee came by request of induction. A boy. A girl. Two very different birth stories. Two very exciting and thrilling deliveries. (You can read about Dom's birth story here.)
Before I delve completely into the day we delivered our sweet girl, I feel like I need to explain a few things.
So here goes: Dominic, for whatever reason, found entering this world something he'd rather delay. Apparently mommy made life inside much more comfortable. So comfortable that we were forced to change our birthing option from a birth center to a hospital. We went from a midwife with whom we had developed a relationship to a doctor we had met a mere 24 hours prior. We went from a cozy birth center to a hospital we had briefly visited a scant two days earlier. On top of the emotional roller coaster of waiting on a baby that wouldn't come and drawing the irrational conclusion that I would be pregnant forever, we had already been informed that statistically first time pregnant women who made it past their 41st week overwhelmingly ended up in an operating room requiring a C-Section. Fact or fiction, this is NOT the news you want to hear especially when you are hoping to naturally birth your child. With a deadline of 5am on Thursday, January 20th, we entered the hospital 2 hours early in what the nurse determined was progressive labor. No induction was needed. I was allowed to labor naturally on my own and 18+ hours later, our son was born without the use of labor inducing drugs, without an epidural, and through the birth canal.
My birth experience with Dominic was beautiful but very emotionally trying. I knew that the next time around had to be different. I started by making a decision that is opposite of what most people make who have had a bumpy hospital experience. I decided that a birth center birth was not for me. I know many people who have welcomed their children into the world through the use of a midwife and/or a birth center including my sister in law who has birthed 4 beautiful babies with the support of a midwife in the home setting.To this day I truly admire her and am inspired by her incredible birth stories. I also have a friend who just successfully birthed a gorgeous sweet girl at a birth center. And her birth story is also quite beautiful.
But my story is not their story. I had to take a hard look at me and what would be best for me. And that did not include a home birth or a midwife or a birth center.
For me, I needed a doctor I trusted and a hospital that would honor my needs and requests.
And I found that trusted physician in Dr Kelli Watkins and I found that hospital that would care for me at Texas Health Presbyterian of Plano. {Yes, this is a shameless plug for an awesome doctor and an incredible health facility.}
Well, thanks for sticking around for the explanations. Here's the wonderful story of Charlotte Leigh's amazing, beautiful, and rocket paced birth story.
When I found out I was pregnant with our second child, there was no question in my mind that we would deliver naturally. I had successfully delivered Dominic without the use of an epidural and only a dose of a pain medication that helped me sleep for a few hours before things got exciting. My doctor had praised my desire to deliver naturally and expressed nothing but full confidence that I could indeed deliver naturally and quickly this second time. My pregnancy progressed exceptionally well except for the morning sickness that seemed to last all day for months! (I was pretty sure there was a girl bun in the oven, so we were not surprised when the tech announced, 'it's a girl' at our 20 week appointment).
As we approached Charlotte's due date I kept hoping for a story that included my water breaking in the middle of the night or in the middle of the aisle in a grocery store. We'd rush to the hospital and just a few hours later, our sweet baby girl would make her entrance. We hit 38 weeks and I joked that she should come 2 weeks early since her brother came two weeks late to help even the score for mommy. But alas, thirty-eight weeks came and went. As did 39 weeks. All this time, memories from our last weeks of pregnancy with Dominic began to creep up: all the extra doctor's appointments, the stress tests, the sweeping of the membranes, the natural remedies to get things going, talk of transfer and threat of c-section. I just knew I couldn't go through that again. Something inside me just knew that the resilience that I demonstrated (or perhaps faked) that first time would not be present this go around.
So at 39 weeks 4 days, my husband and I sat in our Dr's office and began to discuss the possibility of induction. The me 2 years ago would have been appalled at the me of a few weeks ago. But I trusted my doctor's expert opinion that my daughter was healthy and capable of taking on the world now. (I must point out that she never once mentioned induction. We brought it up). Wasting no time, we scheduled induction for the very next day.
We arrived at the hospital at 7AM on Thursday, March 28th excited and feeling much more prepared for the journey ahead of us than our first time. We were greeted by an amazing nurse named Raquel. Her nickname, Rocky, assured us we had a champion in our corner and that today was going to be a memorable day ending in victory.
The first few hours were spent taking care of miscellaneous hospital information, checking vital signs, inserting IV's and beginning the administration of antibiotics. (I'm GBS +).
My doctor arrived shortly after 9 and started the process with breaking my water. Well, we thought my water had broken. Those women who've gone through labor know what that feels like. The gush. But there was no gush! My Dr was pretty confident that it was broken as she said she could feel our little girl's hair. (Hair! That was a musical statement to my ears!! The heartburn would be worth it!) But again there was very little fluid to confirm the breaking of my water.
With the assumption that my water had indeed broken, we started walking around the room in hopes of getting things started. And then there was a gush! And a little later, another gush. Oh and a little bit later another gush. We jokingly said that must be why I carried our daughter so high, there was so much amniotic fluid she was floating way up there.
After a few hours we drew a rather odd conclusion: breaking my water did not help get my labor going. In fact, our nurse described my labor as hypotonic. Quick google search confirms what I thought. I just wasn't progressing for a possible multiplicity of reasons. So…now what? When we spoke with our doctor the day before, I had expressed a hope to still try for a natural delivery if at all possible. I wondered if there was a middle ground option that might not include the use of an epidural or other pain medications. She assured me that we could start with smaller doses of pitocin to help ease me into the contractions. (Contractions brought on by pitocin have been known to come faster and, as a result, appear and feel more painful than natural labor). I told her I was game! So when labor seemed non-existent, we moved into stage two of "Operation Get This Baby Here". We started at a 2. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the use of pitocin, that's really nothing since you can go all the way up to 30. But it did help regulate my contractions to where they were coming more frequently. After some time, it was still quite obvious that my labor was not where it needed to be to get me dilated to a 10. So, we asked when they would increase the amount. Rocky informed us that they typically increase it every 30 minutes. We did the math and we'd been at a 2 dosage for over an hour. So at our request they started increasing at regular intervals and my labor began progressing. (This was about 2pm and when I feel the labor clock truly started). My amazing husband coached me and walked me through every single contraction. And we kept our cool. I kept progressing slowly but steadily.
6pm rolled around and I was dilated to a 7. Good progress but still not that magical number of 10. Rocky told me not to worry. She assured me that I could go from 0 to 60 at any time. And then she left the room.
After what seemed like only a matter of seconds, I entered that stage called transition. Which means…I went from 0 to 60.
Now let me tell you a secret. Occasionally, Rocky would ask me to rate my pain on a scale of 1-10. As the day progressed and the contractions intensified, my pain number increased as well. I had told myself that as long as I could say a number lower than 10 that I was okay. I could do this. And when I got to a place where I really wanted to say 10, that I HAD to be in transition. That place where you can't take the pain anymore. That place where you lose your head momentarily. And then all of a sudden, there's a baby.
This happened in what felt like 5 minutes from the time I had last been checked. I was only a 7. A good number but not a 'pushing' number. But the pressure was there. The pain was DEFINITELY there. I looked at Marshall and told him, 'Get Rocky, get Dr Watkins. I gotta push."
Within minutes, the room was bustling with people. Everyone sensed we were getting nearer to that delivery moment but I don't think anyone truly knew how incredibly close we were.
Throughout the day, our nurse had encouraged different positions to help get our baby in the most optimal position for delivery. As people started entering the room, Rocky had me on my knees leaning against the top part of the bed that was in an upright position (basically envision the bed in an L shape and I'm leaning my arms over the top of the bed).
I remember freaking out and apologizing. I said something like, "Oh my goodness. I just freaked out. I'm sorry!" To which one of the nurses replied, "You're in labor. Anyone would be freaking out right now."
After that, the pain became so intense, I couldn't talk anymore. I could hear people talking around me. We were nearing 7 o'clock and sadly a shift change meaning my power house nurse Rocky would not reap the benefits of seeing our baby girl. I could hear her talking to the new nurse coming on shift. She was passing on the vital information she needed to help me through the next stage of labor.
In the moments that followed,I kept saying, " I really gotta push. I know I'm not supposed to but I gotta." Everyone kept encouraging me to hold off but before I knew it, the baby crowned. Then I felt what I believed was her complete body shooting out of me like a rocket. And then they asked me if I was ready to turn around so they could check me (Yep. To see how dilated I was). I nodded with relief unable to speak. As I turned over, they became aware of what I already knew, Charlee was here! My Dr was not quite fully dressed for delivery and as I turned over they saw that the cord was wrapped around her neck. Rocky jumped in and quickly unwrapped it. My husband says I had to push once more but I don't remember it. Our baby girl practically delivered herself! I was never told to push. I never officially reached the magical number 10. One minute I'm a 7 and roughly 1 hour later at 7:05 pm my baby girl was born weighing 7lb 5oz, measuring 19.5 inches long. My Dr joked that she had missed many a delivery due to a quick baby but that she had never missed a delivery while standing in the room! They laid her on my chest immediately and all I could see was her dark thick beautiful brown hair. She was here!
Looking at her sweet sleeping form nearly a month later, I am so thankful. Thankful for a doctor who believed in me and helped me have the birth experience I had longed to have. Thankful for a nurse who was in my corner from the moment we met. Thankful for an incredible husband who coached me through every painful contraction. And I am thankful for a baby who shot into this world like a rocket. Our sweet baby girl has captured our hearts and we will never be the same.

engine start when sparying intake clearing in air intake manifold. spark plugs are filed out ,tips are black
My car has 190000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
This suggests a rich fuel condition as evidenced by the black fouled out spark plugs. This can happen for a couple of reasons such as faulty or leaking fuel injectors, or a faulty or dirty idle air control valve.
The idle air control valve reads the air intake as it is mixed with fuel prior to being injected into the engine at low speeds and at idle. As this valve is controlled by the vehicle's computer, it will adjust idle speed based upon other measurements such as engine temperature, intake air temperature and electrical system load or voltage. When you accelerate, the engine RPM increases, and as you let off the gas, the RPM slowly returns to the normal idling speed. When the engine RPM drops below the normal range of 750-800 RPM (for most cars), this often times will cause the engine to stall indicating a dirty or faulty idle air control valve. I would recommend having an expert from YourMechanic come to your location to diagnose and repair your idle air control valve.
Our certified mechanics come to you ・Backed by 12-month, 12,000-mile guarantee・Fair and transparent pricing

To begin with it is advisable to dismantle the garments pegs and take away the springs. You'll discover that is simple to do, simply twist the peg ends in reverse instructions.
Glue your peg halves backs collectively in order that the flat sides are again to again. You'll find yourself with a spherical bulbous finish and a skinny tapered finish. Depart the pegs to dry.
The star middle piece.
With the pegs on their facet sop which you can see the glued becoming a member of line, stick 6 pegs collectively at their spherical finish. Every peg must be lined up in a straight line with the peg reverse it. A small gap will naturally type on the middle of the pegs as you align them. Depart the middle piece to dry.

When the paint is dry thread some gold thread via a gap in one of many star spikes. That is the hanging loop to droop the star.
For further glamor wind tinsel across the star spikes on the coronary heart of the star.

December and Greta's playday. As expected, not a lot of crafting got done although a good trial of 2 stamping tools took place - MISTI and the WRMK Precision Press. I'd bought both. A whole day of stamping this and that by me and some of the others and I decided I preferred the WRMK Precision Press. Came home and sold the MISTI +extras. Long story short (and a case of good karma in my direction as it turned out) and I ended up getting over £70 for it, nett. Very happy bunny as I'd had to put up with some really nasty moron (as it turned out) through the transaction so I guess it became compo as well.
Christmas came and went and then it was back to normal with hospital appointments etc for the OH. He had a 'blip' which could have been a kidney infection but wasn't. Oncologist appointment meant we had a convo we'd rather not have had. Told we may be optimistic in having our booked holiday in September. Also told to keep a close relationship with the hospice. Day after - everything back to normal! Now we're not sure what's likely to happen. The OH is to have a CT scan before he sees oncologist again and the nurse specialist he saw this week had been asked to assess him for pain and overall well-being. Fortunately he's doing well again so hoping things will continue as they are at the mo. She will be reporting back positively. Seems chemo may not be an option at all so we may have exhausted all available treatment if what he's on now is stopped. We're hoping to have a different, more positive, convo with the oncologist next month. We know that 'that' convo will probably happen at some point though. We're not ready for it yet!
Youngest found a flat and moved out. So much better for him. More space and it means the youngsters also have more space to stay over with him. So pleased to see him happy in his new home. It's a work in progress, getting things together, but slowly, slowly. It's a long time since any of us have had to start from scratch. We've managed to loan him some bits to tide him over.
I broke my laptop *sad* I now have a perfectly OK laptop that I can't use because ..... I cleaned the screen! OK, I didn't clean the screen properly. I squirted cleaner directly onto it instead of onto a cloth. Didn't catch the runs quick enough and the liquid got into the connections. After a while screen started going odd and turning white. Logging of and signing in again brought it back for a while but it kept doing it until it opened up on the white screen *oops!* Techy hubby of a friend took it to look at and told me he thought the screen driver had blown - kaput! Fortunately hard drive was fine and all info still on it so that's been put in a case as an external and the OH has given me a new/old laptop he had (barely used). Driving me up the wall though 'cos I can't get it to 'wake up' from sleep with the keyboard or mouse. Tried everything I've found on Google to put that right (seems a fairly common problem with W10) but nothing's worked so far. I may just treat myself to a brand new, all singing and dancing, one ..... we'll see
I've finished the photo book for our October holiday *YAY!* As normal I left it pretty much to the last minute. Bought a credit in November, with 3 months to complete it in. A month left and I'd not started. Panic - I know it can take me 4 or 5 weeks to put a book together. Cheat! I used an older book I'd done for the layouts/guidance. A few tweaks here and there as I added the photos - job done - but not before I'd deleted all the photos in the album by mistake and had to upload them all again and restart! Wish I could embed the online copy like I used to be able to but seems Blogger still won't allow it. Link instead .......
Had the first (for me) card workshop of the year this week. Good to be back. I've not photographed the cards yet ... new format to workshops with Clair. 2 tutors, 2 cards. Excellent!
... and that's pretty much the rest of December - and most of January - in a nutshell! Just got to sort out photos *grin*

Preserving the ideals of Dr William Penny Brookes – the inspiration for the modern Olympic Movement.
Chris Cannon – the Wenlock Olympian Society archivist has written an article for the journal of the International Society of Olympic Historians. The article describes the background to the return of the four silver 'Tilting at the Ring' cups first awarded some 140 years ago to Charles Ainsworth. These cups made there way to Zimbabwe before being returned to Much Wenlock last year. The article can be found here: ISOH article.
The first Wenlock Olympian Games took place in 1850 and the next ones are scheduled for July 2017. Click below for details of the next event.
Jonathan Edwards CBE
Wenlock Olympian Society President, "It's a great pleasure to welcome our many spectators and competitors – both local and national to the Wenlock Olympian Games".
The Live Arts Festival has taken place each year since 1979. Competitions were held in the performing arts as part of the original Olympic Games.
Wenlock Olympian Society
Founded in 1860 by William Penny Brookes "to provide annual competitions in sports and the arts for people of every grade", a significant part of the modern International Olympic Games' history…

ולא נחם אלהים דרך ארץ פלשתים כי קרוב הוא - When one embarks on a journey to achieve a goal, it would not be unwise to anticipate some bumps on the road. This is because most important things often require a lot of discipline, endurance, and hard work. There are no shortcuts on the road to greatness. When the Israelites leave Egypt, God does not lead them on the most direct route to Canaan, but rather the most indirect route. The Torah notes (Exodus 13:17) that God does not lead the nascent nation on a quick journey to Canaan, "because it is too close," and they would turn back to Egypt at the first sign of trouble. Instead, God knows that the only way for the Israelites to reach their destination is for them to make forty two stops in the wilderness. Ultimately, this "down time" proves to be essential as it allows them to receive the Torah and develop as a nation. From this we learn that the road to the "Promised Land" is never a straight line. Beth Torah Bulletin, January 28, 2018.
ללכת יומם ולילה - The "Long Tarha," in the Syrian liturgical tradition, refers to the unique melody of the Tarha cantillation note in certain places of the Torah during public readings. It is traditionally reserved only for very important verses of the Torah; mostly associated with Shirat Hayam and Matan Torah. Being that this note appears like a regular Tarha, one must rely on tradition in order to know where this note occurs. Long Tarha notes in Perashat Beshalah, as per Mr Joey Mosseri, are as follows: Exodus 13:21 lalekhet, 14:16 hayam, 14:20 el zeh, 14:22 miminam, 14:26 al rikhbo, 14:29 miminam, 15:1 verokhebo, 15:2 abi, 15:3 adonai, 15:11 tehilot, 15:16 ad yaabor, 15:19 bayabashah, 15:21 verokhebo, 15:25 u'mishpat. Notice that all Long Tarha's are directly prior to a Sof Pasuq (end of sentence), and not before an Atnah. According to this Long Tarha list, there are a total of 14 in this perasha; second only to Perashat Yitro, where there are 16. Tiqqun Highlights, Beth Torah Bulletin, 1/19/19.
אז ישיר משה ובני ישראל - Was Israel's "Song of the Sea" an appropriate response to witnessing the downfall of their enemies? After all, Proverbs 24:17 states "Do not rejoice at the downfall of your enemy" (בנפל אויבך אל תשמח)! The answer is that Israel did not derive pleasure from Egypt's defeat, but rather experienced great relief as a result of their miraculous escape from an existential threat. Israel's initial reaction to the divine intervention was that of shock; first, they feared God (וייראו העם את ה׳), then they increased their faith in God (ויאמינו בה׳ ובמשה עבדו), and only then, did they praise God and celebrate (אז ישיר משה ובני ישראל). The Children of Israel did not sink to the barbaric level of rejoicing the actual drownings of the Egyptians. The celebrations only began as a result of a clear realization that God orchestrated justice in the world by destroying those who have committed wrong (Beth Torah, 2/11/17).

MuR-DPA: Top-down Levelled Multi-replica Merkle Hash Tree Based Secure Public Auditing for Dynamic Big Data Storage on Cloud
Chang Liu, Rajiv Ranjan, Chi Yang, Xuyun Zhang, Lizhe Wang, Jinjun Chen
Big data and its applications are attracting more and more research interests in recent years. As the new generation distributed computing platform, cloud computing is believed to be the most potent platform. With the data no longer under users' direct control, data security in cloud computing is becoming one of the most obstacles of the proliferation of cloud. In order to improve service reliability and availability, storing multiple replicas along with original datasets is a common strategy for cloud service providers. Public data auditing schemes allow users to verify their outsourced data storage without having to retrieve the whole dataset. However, existing data auditing techniques suffers from efficiency and security problems. First, for dynamic datasets with multiple replicas, the communication overhead for update verification is very large, because verification for each update requires O(logn) communication complexity and update of all replicas. Second, to the best of our knowledge, there is no existing integrity verification schemes can provide public auditing and authentication of block indices at the same time. Without authentication of block indices, the server can build a valid proof based on data blocks other than the block client requested to verify. In order to address these problems, in this paper, we present a novel public auditing scheme named MuR-DPA. The new scheme incorporated a novel authenticated data structure based on the Merkle hash tree, which we name as MR-MHT. For support of full dynamic data updates, authentication of block indices and efficient verification of updates for multiple replicas at the same time, the level values of nodes in MR-MHT are generated in a top-down order, and all replica blocks for each data block are organized into a same replica sub-tree. Compared to existing integrity verification and public auditing schemes, theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the MuR-DPA scheme can not only incur much less communication overhead for both update and verification of datasets with multiple replicas, but also provide enhanced security against dishonest cloud service providers.

Director Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Ultimatum, Green Zone) is in talks to helm his first sci-fi feature with the remake of the 1966 flick Fantastic Voyage. After swearing off a fourth Bourne film, Heat Vision reports that the filmmaker is in discussions with 20th Century Fox to direct the picture, which, as we reported last December, would be produced by James Cameron.
For those unfamiliar with the original film, it's about a group of scientists who shrink themselves, and take a submarine inside a defecting Soviet scientist so they can remove a blood clot from his brain before it kills him. Heat Vision says that the remake will stay close to the original minus the Cold War stuff and with snazzier effects and 3D. To this part of this story, let us all say together as one voice: "Well, duh."
Hit the jump for my two cents on Greengrass and Fantastic Voyage.
Greengrass' films to date have remained firmly in reality, from the historical dramas of Bloody Sunday and United 93 to the political subtext in his action films, The Bourne Supremacy, Bourne Ultimatum, and Green Zone. However, he's also known as a director who improvises the story of his movies on the set and in the editing room rather than from a script. That may be easier to do when you're running around with handheld cameras and shooting tons of footage, but for a CGI and 3D heavy movie like Fantastic Voyage, I wonder how Greengrass is going to have to change his style or if he'll make the genre change for him. Either way, he's one of my favorite directors working today and I can't wait to see what he does with Fantastic Voyage.

At the imm cologne 2015, Thonet is expanding the successful "Pure Materials" collection with the addition of the famous bentwood classics. Striking, grained leather, natural wood and a careful handling of the materials characterise this fine and especially sustainable collection. A natural patina develops on the products of this series over the course of time – traces of use are absolutely welcome. As of now, the iconic "Vienna coffee house chair" 214 and the bentwood models 209, 210, 215 and 233 are presented in the new look with dark stained or light oiled ash wood and vegetable tanned leather. In 2012, selected pieces of tubular steel furniture from the Bauhaus era were already included in the "Pure Materials" edition.
For the bentwood classics in the "Pure Materials" collection, the finest local ash is used instead of European beech: this type of wood is wonderfully suitable for the traditional production method of bending and is a very strong and elastic wood with a characteristic open-pore grain. The ash wood from sustainable forestry is intentionally treated only minimally in order to allow for the haptic and visual experience of the structures of the living surface. Over the course of time and use, areas on the wood that are more intensely used become smoother than others, making the piece of furniture a personal companion. The chairs are offered in two versions: with light oil, they contribute to a warm, friendly living ambiance; stained dark and refined with a protective natural wood lacquer, the pieces of furniture create strong accents in a room.
A seat cushion covered with exquisite leather not only assures the highest seating comfort in the new bentwood collection but the strong dark brown colour of the grained leather also gives each chair a sophisticated look with a unique feel. The natural quality leather "Olive Galicia" is neither scraped nor embossed or lacquered, enabling it to react to touch by developing characteristic traces of use, gradually developing a completely individual look. The tanning agent is gained from olive leaves: the result is sustainable, ecological and high-quality premium leather.
As an alternative to the upholstered versions, Thonet also offers a more reduced solution for which the mould seat is only covered with a thin layer of leather.
The "Pure Materials" bentwood models are, of course, also available with wickerwork and netting.

Emma Hatley and Judith Ingham, Partners, Withers LLP.
The Budget press release BN25 entitled 'Aligning the Inheritance Tax Treatment for Trusts' issued in March 2006 caused great consternation in accounting and legal circles. Little was known about the detail of the reform until the Finance (No 2) Bill 2006 (the Bill) was issued on 7 April 2006. The draft legislation confirmed, with few concessions, the Government's intention to go ahead with the draconian proposals set out in BN25. However, the Government tabled amendments on 8 and 9 June 2006 which should mean that fewer people need to radically rethink their estate planning. There remained scope for further amendment between June and the report stage in early July 2006. The Bill is likely to receive Royal Assent in late July 2006.
Accumulation and Maintenance Trust (A and M Trusts)
A and M trusts are special trusts for children/grandchildren, which used to qualify for special inheritance tax status, provided the beneficiaries became entitled to the income by the age of 25 at the latest. The Chancellor's starting point in BN25 was that the only trusts for children which should receive this sort of favoured treatment in the long-term were those which held property which passed to children on the death of a parent and under which the children took capital outright at 18. BN25 proposed a transitional regime under which, if A and M trusts in existence on 21 March 2006 were modified prior to 6 April 2008 so that the beneficiaries had to receive capital at 18, they could similarly continue to receive favoured status while the beneficiaries were under 18.
Though originally the Chancellor seemed resolute in his view that it was appropriate for young people to receive potentially significant sums of money outright at this age, the amendments introduced at committee stage took a small step back from this. For full details see the July [2006] Fam Law.
Interest in Possession (IIP) Trusts
Against the backdrop of the family courts wide discretion to vary settlements or take into account the inherited resources held within them, it is not surprising that donors would choose to settle gifts for their adult children into trust instead of making outright gifts. The old inheritance tax treatment of IIP trusts was the same as that applicable to outright gifts, namely gifts into trust were potentially exempt transfers and no periodic or exit charges applied. The original proposals in BN25 removed the old treatment save in respect of a very limited class of interest trusts established on death.
The June amendments to the Finance Bill mean that full IHT exemption will continue to be available where wills provide for property to be held on life interest trusts for the testator's spouse or civil partner, even where the spouses or civil partners interest is capable of being overridden by powers conferred on the trustees or where that interest is followed by a trust for other individuals. For the full details and implications of the proposals and amendments see July [2006] Fam Law 557.

Excellent locality and flexible accommodation, with very helpful and knowledgeable hosts. The owners made us very welcome provided us with lots of good advice on local activities. Plenty of books and children's toys too.
Mr Burns
The location was amazing and the property had been converted to a very high standard. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating and the most amazing free range eggs were available to buy.
Comfort, relaxation and stunning surroundings
We have just returned from our stay at The Granary and could not have been more delighted with the accommodation. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful and the cottage itself was fully equipped with every mod con we needed yet still retained an oldy worldy feel. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the location is perfect for exploring this beautiful area. We finished up getting through two dozen of the resident chickens' eggs between 3 of us and a sack of kindle and logs (also supplied at a small cost) made for a roaring fire in the evening. Bringing a teenager to an area where there is little phone signal and no wifi is always a gamble but one that paid off when he told us it was one of the most enjoyable holidays he's ever had. Do take stout walking shoes, water bottles and a rucksack and climb nearby Cadair Idris. The feeling of achievement at the summit is something that will stay with me forever. Many, many thanks to Clive and Janice (owners) for making our stay in this idylic part of the world so memorable.

Nevada Assemblyman of District 35, Brent Jones, is known for his willingness to fight and bring an end to Common Core. He wants to be a "thorn in the side of the Establishment," so he will be heard as the voice of the people of Nevada.
Assemblyman Jones' vote cannot be bought! Trump and Jones agree that Obama Care/Affordable Health Care Act has to go. The Sliver State Exchange is not effective for the people and it is costing Nevada money. Trump wants to see Obama Care end in America altogether. Both of them are also strong supporters of free enterprise. Jones owns and is the president of Real Water, which is a thriving business in Las Vegas.
These two men seem to look at the big issues that have a negative impact on this nation in a similar fashion. They would work well together, banning Common Core and relieving the country of the expenses of the Affordable Health Care Act.
Both want to put an ultimate end to Common Core and the Silver State Exchange. Trump, as the presidential GOP candidate front-runner, and Assemblyman Jones as no. 8 of the "25 Most Fascinating Conservatives to Watch in 2016." "He endorses Donald Trump because the Establishment hates them, but the people love them!"

I had to chuckle a few weeks ago while taking a morning flight to Denver from Chicago. Carefully, I had packed my travel snacks such as a bag of loose spinach and kale, an apple, sugar- and salt-free almond butter, mineral water, and, for a treat, crystallized ginger. Meanwhile, next to me a passenger orders the so called "Happy Hour Special". What does this consist of? …one stiff drink and a "snack". She ordered jack and coke with gummy bears.
Can you think of two polar opposite agendas placed right next to one another that morning? Naturally, the airline will sell it to her and likely make a pretty good mark up on the sale. I managed to keep a straight face between my combined, yet conflicted, feelings of horror and humor. I couldn't help but think to myself, "man oh man." Most of the people who know me are quite aware that I am not hesitant to voice my opinion. In this case, the urge to ask her questions and attempt to educate was screaming in my head, but the idea of not over stepping bounds with a complete stranger restrained me.
To my surprise, towards the end of the flight, she decided to initiate conversation with me by saying "you eat so healthy… I need to do better". I cordially said, "I try." Meanwhile the inside voice in my head was shouting "YES!" This experience is in fact a lesson of practice what you preach. I couldn't help but to find beauty in the fact that without saying a word, I made a small influence.
