Extra illustrated with over 400 plates and autographs, including Johnson's signature affixed by frontispiece portrait of him; also with two autographs, Mrs. Piozzi (H. L. Thrale) and Mrs. Elizabeth Carter, both of whom were contemporaries of Johnson. The ninth edition, revised and augmented, including the Dedication to Sir Joshua Reynolds, and the Advertisements for editions 1-6 and the ninth. Four volumes, complete. Quarto, three-quarter levant green morocco over green cloth, spine with raised bands, extra gilt, lettered in gilt, top edges gilt others untrimmed, marbled endpapers, by Bayntun. Minimal rubbing of covers, interiors fine. The volumes include a chronological catalouge of Johnson's works, each entry with a brief description.Samuel Johnson (18 September 1709 [O.S. 7 September] – 13 December 1784), often referred to as Dr. Johnson, was an English writer who made lasting contributions to English literature as a poet, essayist, moralist, literary critic, biographer, editor and lexicographer. Johnson was a devout Anglican and committed Tory, and has been described as ""arguably the most distinguished man of letters in English history"".[1] He is also the subject of ""the most famous single biographical work in the whole of literature,"" James Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson. Born in Lichfield, Staffordshire, Johnson attended Pembroke College, Oxford for just over a year, before his lack of funds forced him to leave. After working as a teacher, he moved to London, where he began to write for The Gentleman's Magazine. His early works include the biography Life of Mr Richard Savage, the poems London and The Vanity of Human Wishes, and the play Irene.After nine years of work, Johnson's A Dictionary of the English Language was published in 1755. It had a far-reaching effect on Modern English and has been described as ""one of the greatest single achievements of scholarship"". This work brought Johnson popularity and success. Until the completion of the Oxford English Dictionary 150 years later, Johnson's was viewed as the pre-eminent British dictionary. His later works included essays, an influential annotated edition of The Plays of William Shakespeare, and the widely read tale The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abissinia. In 1763, he befriended James Boswell, with whom he later travelled to Scotland; Johnson described their travels in A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland. Towards the end of his life, he produced the massive and influential Lives of the Most Eminent English Poets, a collection of biographies and evaluations of 17th- and 18th-century poets.Johnson was a tall and robust man. His odd gestures and tics were disconcerting to some on first meeting him. Boswell's Life, along with other biographies, documented Johnson's behaviour and mannerisms in such detail that they have informed the posthumous diagnosis of Tourette syndrome, a condition not defined or diagnosed in the 18th century. After a series of illnesses, he died on the evening of 13 December 1784, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. In the years following his death, Johnson began to be recognised as having had a lasting effect on literary criticism, and he was claimed by some to be the only truly great critic of English literature.

Fresh Trade Winds
Wednesday, July 7th, 2010
After only 12 hours motoring out of Galapagos the Picton Castle picked up fresh trade-winds. The usual destination for westward bound vessels from Galapagos is the Marquesas, just south of due west but not for us. We are steering SW for Pitcairn Island over 2,700 miles away deep in the South Pacific Ocean. Having these classic SE trade-winds kick in quickly is pretty nice for any windship and certainly for us. So, here at 03 South Latitude we are making a fine 7 to 8 knots in 10 foot seas under t'gallants. This morning the
breeze piped up to about 25 knots on the beam so we took in royals, flying jib and later the spanker. If the wind was further aft of the beam we might have kept the royals set. Our winds are cool and comfortable and so are we. Celestial navigation classes have started by the mates on the quarter-deck and rigging, sailmaking, carpenter and engineer daymen have been broken off too.

What is a Fun Palace?
Fun Palaces are about creating and making together. Fun Palaces are spaces where communities come together and offer people of all ages the chance to try their hands at the arts and sciences for free. They are as much about getting together to do something in your community, as they are about what ends up happening on the weekend itself.
The motto of these community devised and delivered events is: Everyone an artist, everyone a scientist.
You can make or join a Fun Palace that suits your community best. Play, experiments, stories and discovery, high art and hard science are as welcome as fun and games. Each Fun Palace is unique, self-generating, self-supporting, and local. Some may just be moments, some may take over venues for the whole weekend. "They are about fun and learning, participating and making together. They are a space where arts and sciences meet, working alongside, or working together. What your Fun Palace looks like is up to you, your community, your budget and your imagination."
Fun Palaces take place around the world on the first weekend of every October. State Library of Queensland is proud to host and support libraries and communities in running Fun Palaces.
Why should libraries get involved?
Listen and watch SLQ's Creative-in-Residence Matt Finch talk with Deb Miles (Executive Manager, Regional Partnerships, SLQ), about this October's statewide Fun Palaces events.
For more information contact the Signature Program team, the Fun Palace website also provides more information on Fun Palaces, with examples of past events.

Lately we have been having abnormally beautifully warm weather in Sydney. Whilst the evenings are fresh to say the least, the days have been all sunny, blue skies and balmy early to mid twenties temps. Whilst I have been home sick all week, I must admit the view from lounge has been one to put a smile on any sick dial. I have especially loved my doctors and pharmacy visits which have forced me to walk through the warm sunny streets of my local shops.
This morning I was finally feeling slightly normal and the Husband and I decided to go get a coffee and have a stroll through the park. My goodness I isn't nature magnificent this time of year! The vivid orangey red colour from the autumn leaves against the crystal clear bright blue of the sky is truly something to see.
Here are a few insta-snaps from our stroll in the park this morning
Another thing I love about autumn, which will come as no surprise to anyone, is the comfort cooking. The other night we had a friend of ours over for dinner and I whipped up one of my Grandma's chocolate self saucing puddings for dessert, who can resist a bowl of steaming hot pudding goodness with a spoonful or two of double cream or vanilla ice cream.
The recipe is super easy, and I personally believe that a great recipe should be shared
Grandmas Chocolate Sauce Pudding
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup castor sugar
- 1 cup self raising flour
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
For the sauce:
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 2 cups boiling water
Sift all dry ingredients into a mixing bowl and stir in melted butter, milk and vanilla until all are well combined and smooth.
Spoon mixture into individual ramekins (mix makes enough for four) or one large oven proof dish.
Sprinkle brown sugar and cocoa powder evenly over the top of mixture, and then slowly pour over the boiling water.
Place ramekins or oven-proof dish in a baking tray half filled with water. Bake for 20-30 minutes in a medium (160 – 180 degrees Celsius) oven or until water is dissolved.
Remove and serve with double cream, vanilla ice cream, plenty of the chocolate sauce and enjoy with family or friends.
I highly recommend making this pudding; it never disappoints and is the perfect follow-up to a Sunday roast – just as an idea!
Happy weekend all

Small Japanese garden design
Japanese garden style is just perfect for small gardens. The tiniest space can fit a small Japanese garden. Japanese houses make the most of every bit of garden space, and often have small gardens squeezed a long a narrow pathway, or between two buildings.
A space of just a few feet across is big enough for a tsukubai. This is an arrangement of stone basin, bamboo pipes, and rocks, where visitors can wash their hands before entering the house. Tsukubai are common in small Japanese gardens. If even that's too big, you could just have the stone basin on its own, on a bed of pebbles, perhaps with a bamboo ladle.
Another possibility for a very small space is a deer scarer. This is made up of two pieces of bamboo: one is a spout, and pours water into the other, which is open only at one end, and is fixed in the middle on a pivot. As the second piece of bamboo fills up, its centre of gravity changes, and it tips up and releases the water. When it falls back,it knocks against a piece of wood, and so makes a rhythmic clacking sound.
Slightly larger spaces could fit a dry garden, with boulders and sand or gravel. Japanese gardens often have standing boulders surrounded by mossy ground, but if your area is too dry for moss, you could substitute a low creeping plant such as dwarf thyme for ground cover.
Japanese gardens even make the most of narrow paths, walkways and entrances. You could lay a narrow strip of gravel alongside a path - curve the edge as if it were a riverbank or sea shore - and plant a few shoots of bamboo and a small Japanese stone lantern or other Japanese garden ornament.
For more inspiration, visit Creating Japanese Gardens, or see the photos and videos at the bottom of the page.
Book recommendations
This fantastic book is the single best resource I know for creating Japanese-inspired gardens. Not only does it have lots of detail on how to do it, it's packed with beautiful and inspiring photos of all different kinds of gardens - including gardens in tiny spaces.

Touch screens have been one of the greatest inventions second to a pain killer…can u imagine a world with no pain killers? Before pain killers…pain was a killer…before touch screens keypads were noisy all over. However before touch screens big fingers were fast in typing without auto correct screaming at them.
A holographic keyboard and also known as the Virtual Keyboard in the field of electronics is a Bluetooth-enabled Keyboard that can be connected to almost any
computing system (laptops, PCs, PDAs, Pocket PCs or smartphones, and they must be Bluetooth enabled
It projects via infrared, a holographic
keyboard on any flat opaque surface.
It works just like an item counter…
1. There is a laser device connected to ur phone/computer.
2. The laser directs a beam of light to a NON REFLECTIVE surface through a Diffractive Optical Element (DOE), which is simply a tiny image of the keyboard. The DOE, along with special optical lenses, expands the image to a usable size and projects it onto a
How do u type?
3. At the bottom of the laser device is a red diode emitting IR (Infrared) beam parallel and invisible to the image of the keyboard on ur desk… i.e. After u type, (u kinda break the "circuit") a CMOS(complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor)images your finger's position within the area of the keyboard, and a special sensor chip called a Virtual Interface Processing Core analyzes the location of the intended keystroke. The device then sends this info to the computer receiving the commands.
Rumors are that the iPhone 5 will come with an inbuilt device for the virtual keyboard but its very impossible…first its expensive, power consuming and will make the iPhone huge as opposed to this image.

How Do You Help an Alcoholic?
If you're anything like the countless alcoholics and loved ones of alcoholics we've helped, you've probably asked yourself, "How do you help an alcoholic?" The answer isn't as clear-cut as it should be because not every rehab program is a "one size fits all." It takes the proven expertise of the drug rehab placement counselors at Drug-Rehab.org to locate that program for each individual. We'll be glad to teach you how to help an alcoholic, so get in touch with us today.
How Do I Help an Alcoholic?
"How can I help an alcoholic?" is a question many friends and loved ones of alcoholics ask themselves every day. Some alcoholics even ask themselves, "How do i help an alcoholic?" when searching for help themselves. Knowing how to help someone with alcoholism isn't as straightforward as it should be. No two alcoholics are alike, so no two alcoholic recovery programs should be. But how to figure out which program fits which addict? Leave it to the referral counselors with experience.
Getting help for an alcoholic is as simple as getting in touch with Drug-Rehab.org. We'll ask you to explain your history with alcohol or your loved one's history with alcohol. We'll analyze what we learn along with your budget and individual needs. We'll then explain how to get an alcoholic help in a way that works for you.
Ways to Help Someone with Alcoholism
Besides calling Drug-Rehab.org to learn immediately how to help alcoholic people, there are a few things you can do:
- Don't let the alcoholic quit drinking suddenly without professional supervision. Alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous to one's health. Call Drug-Rehab.org immediately to start withdrawal safely as soon as possible.
- Don't pressure the alcoholic to quit on your own. If you're too close to the situation, your well-meaning confrontation can come across as criticism. This may backfire and cause the alcoholic to drink even more. If you're the one who struggles with alcoholism, you need to be aware of the fact that quitting alone is a monumental undertaking. If you truly want to learn how to help alcoholics, invite a professional counselor into the process.
- Don't tolerate abusive behavior. Walk away from the situation and call Drug-Rehab.org. We'll teach you how to help a alcoholic when the situation becomes volatile.
When you call us for yourself or a loved one, you can count on help that works. In some cases, we send alcoholics to treatment as soon as the next dayΓÇöand sometimes even the same day!
Getting Help for an Alcoholic
How do you help an alcoholic? The simple answer is: You don't do it alone. Alcoholism is a serious, potentially dangerous addiction, so you need to let a professional step in as soon as possible. The Drug-Rehab.org counselors teach addicts and their loved ones how to help an alcoholic every day. Isn't it time that you got the help you need for yourself or for that person whom you love?
Get in touch with us by calling 877-352-6329 now! You can also fill out our online call back form if you prefer and then we will call you.

Why do I paint?
August 4, 2013 Leave a comment
Why do I paint…..? I have asked myself that question thousands of times over the years, and to be honest I don't know if I will ever have a profound answer But deep down I just love it when a painting starts to look real, it's just dabs of paint on a blank canvas, nothing more, but something gets created in the process and that makes me feel good inside and that is reason enough for me to keep painting and to keep trying to improve if I can teach people to feel this way then that is a real bonus 🙂

WASHINGTON: Dov Zakheim and Roger Zakheim, the father-and-son team of national security advisors to the Romney campaign, fenced with skeptical reporters this morning about what their candidate would actually do differently from the Obama administration.
The big things, in brief: boost Navy shipbuilding by 66 percent; slash the civil service workforce at the Defense Department; show no "daylight" between the US and Israel on Iran; and arm the Syrian rebels. The Zakheims emphasized, however, that the Romney defense buildup would not happen all at once but would scale up as the economy recovers — and it isn't that different from the administration's own totals, anyway.
Romney has promised to spend 4 percent of gross domestic product on Defense, but the Zakheims said that will be the "base budget" once the government ends its the current practice of annual supplement appropriations for the Afghan war; with those supplements for "Overseas Contingency Operations" (OCO), defense spending is already over four percent of GDP.
"You look at where we are today, 4.2 percent of GDP; you look at what the [former Defense Secretary Robert] Gates projections were for fiscal 13 and 14," said the elder Zakheim, Dov, who served as comptroller in the George W. Bush administration. In that context, he said, "these are not outrageous numbers and they're not two trillion" — a figure cited by some Democrats for the Romney buildup. "We'll get to four percent; we're not necessarily going to go to 4 percent in fiscal '13." The President's 2013 budget is already before Congress, Zakheim noted, and "we're not going to come in with this massive supplemental."
Besides, pegging Defense spending at 4 percent of GDP makes it a variable, not a fixed figure. "If Romney's going to turn the economy around, then the GDP's going to grow," Dov noted. "If it grows more quickly, the number will be larger."
In addition to increasing budgets, eventually, a Romney administration will force the Pentagon to make better use of the money it already has, the Zakheims said. Challenged by reporters, who noted that that every administration has tried (and largely failed) to do this, they contrasted their candidate's business experience to the president's community activist roots.
"You have a CEO who doesn't know what a bottom line looks like because he's never been in business," Dov said of Obama. "Gov. Romney, with his background and experience in the private sector, will absolutely be focused on making the department more efficient."
Beyond the usual acquisition reform measures — controlling change orders and requirements creep, stabilizing budgets, limiting technological ambitions — the most specific step Romney would take to improve efficiency would be to cut civil servants. After a decade of post-9/11 growth in the Defense Department's civilian workforce, "there are almost as many people in suits as there are in uniform," said Dov. "There's a need to reduce the size of the civil service."
At the same time, Romney would build up the uniformed military, reversing the cut of 100,000 personnel (80,000 Army soldiers, 20,000 Marines) and increasing spending on key weapons systems, especially warships and submarines. Under the Obama administration's plans, "with the military force structure they're putting forward, you're going to have to choose between the Middle East and Asia," said Roger, the younger Zakheim. "The so-called pivot is hollow."
Given the vast expanses of the Pacific, and the maritime nature of the current standoff with Iran in the Persian Gulf, naval forces are particularly critical, but both Zakheims lamented what they called "the incredible shrinking Navy." Challenged that the fleet has actually increased somewhat under Obama, Dov replied, "sure it's gone up, I gave them the money!" It was the Bush budget he worked on as comptroller that paid for the ships entering service today, Dov argued — "It takes years to build those ships," he said — but today's low rate of new naval construction will come back to bite us in the future.
Besides, he argued, much of the current shipbuilding plan emphasizes lighter vessels like the Littoral Combat Ship and the Joint High-Speed Vessel: "That's one heck of a way to jack up numbers but that's about it," said Dov. What's needed is high-end combat capacity, he went on, and "Littoral Combat Ships aren't going to do that for you; they weren't intended to." While LCS is a support ship for minesweeping, subhunting, intercepting small attack craft, and showing the flag, Romney will emphasize full-up battle groups of aircraft carriers, destroyers, and submarines. That's the kind of force that make Iranian strategists take notice.
"The governor's overall foreign policy [is to] push forward with this diplomacy but at the same time you can back it up with a strong military presence," said Roger. "The best way to do that is by having a navy."
On the diplomatic side, Romney would tighten sanctions on Iran by closing loopholes for China, India, and other countries, while keeping any differences with Israel strictly private. "The daylight between the Israeli prime minister and a President Romney would not be played out in the headlines of every major daily in Israel and in the United States," said Roger.
The best way to forestall an Israeli strike on Iran, added Dov, is to give them confidence the US has their back. "Let's show the Iranians we have an agreed 'red line'" — that is, a point past which their nuclear program will not be allowed to grow. For Israel, he said, "it's beyond a rational issue. [They will] absolutely not tolerate even an epsilon of a probablity that a missile will get through." The Israelis are only talking about acting on their own, he said, "because they're terrified that the American policy seems to be we're going to wait until they [the Iranians] are nearly there with a bomb and then we'll stop them," somehow.
Arming rebel groups in Syria, which Romney has pledged to do and Obama hasn't, would also put more pressure on Iran. But these tough policies, the Zakheims say, don't amount to a return to the preemptive interventionism of the George W. Bush era.
"One of the things I keep hearing from the Obama side is, what a warmonger Romney is," said Dov. "If you're a warmonger, you don't use the Navy." In fact, he said, "historically the agency that always calls first for the Navy ….was the State Department, because the State Department recognizes the importance of naval presence." After all, America's global seapower got its start with Teddy Roosevelt, the Assistant Navy Secretary, president, and Nobel Peace Prize winner who famously said: "Speak softly and carry a big stick."
Dov dismissed Democratic charges that Romney would return the nation to the interventionism of the Bush era. "The neo-cons hate me!" Dov said of his former colleagues who pushed for the Iraq war. Some hawkish neo-conservative may be among Romney's advisors, Dov admitted, but they're one voice among many. "I don't agree with neo-cons and they certainly don't agree with me," he said, "but I think the mark of a leader is somebody who listens to lots of different opinions and makes up his own mind."
"We're going to have multiple views" in a Romney administration, Roger added. "There will not be rigid ideological purity."

GAINAX at PIXAR
I am a HUGE fan of the Japanese animation studio, GAINAX. I've been in love with the studio and their animation ever since I was introduced to Evangelion. As soon as I saw the kinetic action, the beautiful and emotional shots, I was immediately hooked. I absolutely adore FLCL and Gurren Lagann. I've only seen a couple of their latest, Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt , and from what I've seen, GAINAX has done it again and delivered a crazy-whacked out and addictive anime. So when I received an email from Toyonori Yamada from Gainax, asking me if they can come by to visit Pixar, I was so excited to have them as my guests. Whenever I hang out with Gainax I turn into a fanboy, so that's my explanation for some of the goofier pictures. I had a great time hanging out with the Gainax staff that included: Sushio, Akemi Hayashi, Masahiko Otsuka, Kumiko Sano, Hiromi Wakabayashi, Toyonori Yamada and Satsuki Yamashita. Extra special thanks to the Pixar staff who helped me make the tour run so smoothly, especially to Mach Kobayashi, Akiko Minaga and Grant Alexander.

Hiya doll! Wanna piece of fruit?
So I was watching the Fedor vs. Silva fight on Strikeforce this past weekend and I was inspired to do a piece that was bad ass and vicious. Keeping with the superhero theme I decided to draw one of the most brutal confrontations in comic history, the very first appearance of Wolverine when he fought the Hulk. I wanted to depict the meeting almost like a MMA match, with the fighters looking like they been through hell. Their faces are smashed and bruised. I drew Hulks eye shut, kinda like Fedor's at the end of the fight. I drew Wolverine's face, just as bashed, his cheek is all swollen. I understand that they have healing powers, but I figured that in this battle, they wouldn't recuperate quickly. In my mind neither opponent would heal up for weeks, maybe months. That is how epic this battle would be.
A very X-Men Valentine's

Here's Hector
Waaaay back in the day I was kinda into graffiti art. I wasn't really good at the letter stuff, but my characters were cool. One of them that became sort of my go to guy was this little rabbit character named Hector. He was this surfer type character. Every now and then, I feel like breaking him out. Especially when I am feeling a bit homesick. Today was one of those days, so here he is in all of his glory. Was looking at some Jack Kirby Silver Surfer for some inspiration. That guy surely is the KING
That's not Megan Fox

Stepping into its third year, the Women + Film Voices Festival is gearing up for another phenomenal run this March. As a precursor to the week of films written by, directed by, produced by and starring women, the Sie FilmCenter will host a special one-night only screening of The Invisible War this evening. Along with a live Skype interview with the film's producer, Amy Ziering, the fest will also be announcing the full line-up that will run from March 3 through 10.
See also: - Shoot your heart out: VOICES Mobile Film Festival is now taking short film submissions - 25th annual Rocky Mountain Women's Film Festival kicks off Friday - Tod Davies on storytelling, lost superheroines, and Wonder Women!
Preview the film here:
Women + Film Voices Festival director Tammy Brislin says that after The Invisible War's success at the Sundance Film Festival last year, she was fortunate enough to bring it to the FilmCenter for the 2012 festival. The documentary, which tells the stories of servicewomen who have survived sexual assault within the U.S. military, still resonates with the women-centered mission of the fest, so Brislin made sure it returned for tonight only.
"We thought it was important to bring it back as the kick-off event for the Women + Film Voices Film Festival 2013 to show the true power of film," says Brislin. "The film literally has given the victims in the film a voice. Over the last year since its premiere, The Invisible War has helped push forward action in Congress and substantive reform in the military itself."
Brislin says that since the film's release, federal action in relation to these sex crimes has accelerated, bringing to light the potential power of public reaction to screenings at festivals such as Women + Film Voices.

took my daughter and grand daughters, we had a great time.
it's exacting as advertised. I cannot think anything negative or slightly negative to say about the unit. We would have no problem with staying there again.
Dear Leonard,
Thank you for the kind review. I am excited to inform you that the pool and deck area will be upgraded in September so that the amenities will also be vastly improved.
James M. Allen/owner
Enjoyed our stay there.
Overall our stay was excellent! The condo was very Clean and well decorated. They only thing that we had to complain about was the twin beds were both the loudest beds I have ever heard in my life when you moved on them even the tiniest bit. Also when you rolled over in the middle of the night the whole bed scooted a foot down. The top mattresses were not that uncomfortable but I believe the boxsprings were the noisiest I have ever heard. It kept you up all night!
The only other thing that was a small disappointment was that we were told that there were most likely beach chairs there, but the property manager told us when we got there that there were not any at all.
I would highly recommend this unit. It was beeu spacious and perfect for a large group.
Dear Suzette,
Thank you for the review. I was at the property in April and there was beach chairs. I just came back on 07/27/19 and the chairs were gone. This has been a recurring problem. The beach chairs leave the unit and have repeatedly disappeared. I am sorry for your inconvenience. It is my hope and desire that when people come and visit they treat the unit as if it is their own. And for the most part most people do. Unfortunately there are the occasional guests that do
not and because of their lack of consideration they ruin it for succeeding guests. Thank you for your patience .
James M. Allen
Great condo!
June 2019
This is the first time we stayed at Reef Club 505! We couldn't find a thing wrong with It! The view from the balcony was fantastic, condo was very well appointed and very reasonably priced. Hope to stay there again when we visit relatives in the arear next time!
Great sunsets
We loved our stay. Property was as described. There was something for everyone to enjoy--the pool, the beach, a grill and fantastic sunsets. Thanks Florida.
Dear Liz,
Thank you for the review.
James M. Allen
Beach side Condo
It was an amazing family trip and would definitely go back.
Great Condo, Wonderful View
Reef Club Unit 505 is a wonderful and spacious 3/2 unit (King- Master, Queen, Two Twins) with a gorgeous view of the Gulf of Mexico. We were very comfortable inside the condo as well as on the balcony!!! There are three grills (natural gas) that we used. The pool is heated and the Hot Tub was the perfect temperature! The beach is super easily accessible. There are great restaurants close by and a convenience store as well! James the owner and the condo management staff were very easy to communicate with! Check in and check out were super easy!
We loved almost everything about our stay. The only negative thing (not the owners fault) was we vacationed during a very busy time (spring break/Easter) and the pool rules weren't followed by the many kids/parents at the pool. My mom got hit in the face with a football while in the pool which bruised her eye (there is a rule for no balls in the pool). We spoke to the parents (who didn't seem to care) and condo management, who seemed interested in our issue. But, the rules for kids weren't followed overall by many of the parents at the pool. Similar to a previous post, many kids were in the hot tub at a time and there were lots of rafts/balls in the pool. However, the week we chose to stay (Spring Break/Easter) is very busy overall on the beach and probably very different than most weeks! We chose to spend the majority of our time at the beautiful beach!!!
Tips: Bring some beach chairs and a cooler! You might want an umbrella in the summer months! The beach is really gorgeous!!! The unit comes w a beach chair and a noodle and some sand toys.
Dear Jessica,
Thank you for the nice. review. I love Indian Rocks beach and I agree that the amenities are great at the Reef Club. We have a great board and we will be upgrading the brick paver by the pool this fall.

Welcome to the 2020 Colorado Anime Fest cosplay competition! Here are some basic tenets to maintain as safe and enjoyable an environment as possible for everyone at the convention.
Overall Guidelines
First things first, please read all the rules and guidelines completely. We've tried to answer as many questions as we could anticipate, either from previous cosplay experience, questions raised from previous COAF Cosplay competitions, or from interviewing the cosplay community at large. Chances are good that we will have addressed your particular issue, or at least pointed you in the right direction. If you are still unclear, though, please feel free to contact us and we will do what we can to help.
We Are Gathered Here Today…
Really, we're all here because we love cosplay, so be kind and have fun. Almost every rule can be summed up by the following: Be considerate of others. Diva fits or inappropriate pressuring of the staff and/or judges will not be tolerated and may result in expulsion from the contest. If there is an issue such as bullying, harassment, unwanted physical contact, or any other inappropriate behavior, please bring it to the attention of security or the Cosplay area head. The COAF staff take your safety seriously and strive to offer our guests and attendees the best experience possible.
Who Can Enter, and How Do I Register?
The competition is open to all attendees of Colorado Anime Fest. You can register for the competition by clicking on the links below within each individual category. If there are any time slots still unoccupied, they will be made available at the convention itself. We have the traditional Beginner, Intermediate, Masters, and Skit categories, as well as a no pressure Novice division.
Once you have applied for the competition online, you will be contacted on a first come, first serve basis to pick your desired time slot for craftsmanship judging. Different divisions are allotted different amounts of judging time:
Novice: 7 minutes
Beginner/Intermediate: 10 minutes
Masters/Skit: 15 minutes, or lead judge's discretion
Multiple entrants: lead judge's discretion
Source Material
All competition pieces must come from Japanese source material, whether that be anime, manga, J-music (Visual Kei, etc.), or culture and mythology.
Planning Ahead
Be flexible. Things happen, and they are not always in our control. The best way to combat this is to come prepared:
- Bring everything you need with you to the Green Room.
- Have all weapons properly checked and banded before your judging time. If you have any particularly large props or weapons, you can check them in at Cosplay Daycare. Basically, we will have you sign a waiver and leave them in the back of the judging room on Saturday and pick them up when it becomes Green Room. Alas, as with all things in life, there is no 100% guarantee as to their safety, but the room will be occupied continuously by Cosplay staff, and it's still safer than lugging an oversized claymore through the hallways.
- Give yourself extra time to get to judging and Green Room. People will want to take your picture. Bask in it.
If you miss your time, we may be able to squeeze you in, but no guarantees. Likewise, it is your responsibility to arrive at Green Room with at least a half hour cushion to get you into you correct division and line order. If you arrive after the order is set, you might have to skip your turn on stage.
Any recorded music, effects, or dialogue must be approved and turned in before the convention (date TBD).
If you do have tech (sound or light) cues, you will be asked to make note of this on your application, and will be put in contact with our technician during the con. If you miss your meeting, this decreases your chances of your onstage experience going as smoothly as you might like.
Make sure to bring a handler if you need one!
If you are running late or need to step out of the contest altogether, please, please, PLEASE contact the Cosplay staff immediately. Details will be provided closer to the con. This allows us to open up judging slots, and is a courtesy to the judges and your fellow cosplayers. If you do not contact us, you may be placed on the waiting list in future years instead of being granted a judging time, no matter how early you register.
Covering the Basics
Consider a PG rating as a guide for crafting your hallway and mainstage cosplay. Please use your best judgement on what is appropriate for the con. If your clothing might elicit, "Mommy, what's that?" from a five year old, you're probably showing too much.
The same applies to any skit scripts and prerecorded aspects of your competition piece. Violent, suggestive, discriminatory, or otherwise inappropriate submissions will not be used. If there is a question as to the level of appropriateness, this will be determined by the cosplay area head and/or the board members. Their decision will be non-negotiable.
No nudity or lingerie cosplay, please.
Do feel free to modify a garment to make it wearable for the entire weekend. Likewise, it is absolutely acceptable to wear items that are a part of your faith or personal moral code. If you are competing, make sure to provide documentation for the judges to see what the original character looks like and what you changed. Such modifications will not detract from your final score, although ingenuity might give you a boost.
Likewise, weapons, particularly firearms, should be constructed to indicate that they are props. Any projectile weapons that can actually be fired and laser pointers are not permitted. Unstrung bows and other such modifications are allowed. As with clothing adaptations, you will not be marked down for these changes.
For all competitive divisions, fully store bought cosplays are not permitted. Depending on the category and level of difficulty, at least a portion of the costume must have been crafted by the creator:
- Novice and Beginner: Street clothing may be used, but it must be altered at least 25% from its original state, or 25% of the entire piece must have been crafted from scratch.
- Intermediate: At least 50% of street clothing must be significantly altered, or no more than 10% of unaltered street clothing is allowed.
- Masters: No street clothing is permitted.
- Skit: The degree of craftsmanship should adhere to the guidelines set for each category.
- Groups: The level of the group is determined by the level of the most advanced member.
Exceptions to the rule: Some items, such as shoes, hose, wigs, hat bases, and so on may be purchased and worn as is. Modification of any or all of these is expected at Intermediate and required at Masters. Any exceptions at Masters level will be considered on a case by case basis.
Any commissioned aspects of a cosplay must be noted. Allowance of such pieces is up to the judges' discretion.
Any cosplay that has won a craftsmanship award at any level may not be competed.
The creator and the cosplayer do not necessarily have to be the same individual. In some instances, the finished product is worn by a model. If this is the case, any and all awards will be given to whomever built the cosplay.
Any cosplayer found to be violating these rules will be removed from the contest and banned from future competition.
The final decisions from judging and otherwise are at the discretion of the Cosplay area head, lieutenant, and the COAF board members. Additionally, these rules are subject to change for the benefit of Colorado Anime Fest, the convention space, and attendees of the con.
Once again, as a reminder, and for the good of COAF and our entire community, most of Colorado and surrounding areas is a tight knit cosplay family, and overall a very friendly one. Really, everyone knows everyone else, and by extension, most people's cosplay experience and personal style are also well known. It is a wonderful thing in that it allows us to see how cosplayers grow in skill, confidence, and artistry over time. This is exciting! The flip side, of course, is that it is very difficult to falsify information, because there is almost always someone to call the bluff, and getting banned from one con can easily mean getting banned from all of them. Please don't be tempted. As we mentioned before, play fair, have fun. Love your cosplay experience and the wonderful people around you.
Portfolio = Panic
Many cosplayers, especially those in higher divisions, have noticed that more and more conventions are requiring that cosplayers are required to present a portfolio as part of their competition requirement. Naturally, this had made a lot of people nervous. In truth, by the time most cosplayers reach mid to upper intermediate level, they have sketches, concept art, fabric swatches, and progress photographs from most of their previous cosplays.
These are the makings of a simple portfolio, and really, this is it at its most basic. A simple three ring binder with plastic protector sheets or a photo album from your local craft store is an easy way to arrange them. Add pictures of you and your friends enjoying your completed works. Over time, you can include descriptions, a table of contents, awards won, a resume, scrapbooking papers, or pretty much anything else to reflect your growth as a cosplayer. That's it!
Divisions and Applications
For who have either never competed or don't feel ready to enter in another category, this is a no-pressure zone. There will be no actual judging in this category, just get up and show your creation to three enthusiastic fellow cosplayers who have been exactly where you are now, then strut you stuff on stage and get an otaku goodie bag. Welcome to our world!
If you are new to cosplay or have only competed a few times, this is your division. Craftsmanship is not expected to be perfect. Rather, the judges will be looking for how you have translated a character from paper or screen to your own person. Remember, everyone in Masters was once in the Beginner category. Enjoy the process!
This is the category for those who have several competitions under their belt or those who have won a craftsmanship award in the Beginner division. A higher degree of skill is required in this category as judges start to take fine details, fabric choices, and more advanced techniques under consideration. A portfolio is recommended.
This is the place for the most seasoned and decorated cosplayers. Competitors in Masters are those whose work is considered to be professional or near-professional quality. All aspects are considered, including seams, linings, underpieces, structure, and props, many of which are not noticeable unless closely inspected. A portfolio is required, and a cosplay resume (which may be included as part of the portfolio) is recommended. At this level, the tiniest detail can make a sizeable difference in judging.
Just like the name says. This is a blend of both performance and craftsmanship, and the group may be at any of the aforementioned skill levels. Standard craftsmanship judging will occur as per the other categories, but the performance aspect will be much more heavily weighted. As with Masters, a portfolio is required for the Skit category. Skits may be up to four minutes long. Copies of the script and audio recording must be submitted before the convention (date TBD).
Hey, I know that guy!
Cosplay is contagious (insert evil world domination giggle here), and some of our staff have fallen victim to its sway. Yes, folks, the COAF Cosplay competition is open to staff as well! Go ahead and apply, the earlier the better, and send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com so we can get your judging time squared away. You are eligible for any of the awards, so bring your A game.
Cosplay is also contagious within our own families, and several of us have offspring who will be diving into the competition pool this year. While it's true that we would probably judge them a little more critically ("Really? You used hot glue? I TOLD you Barge Cement was better, but do you listen?"), in order to avoid even a hint of nepotism they will not be eligible for any of the division or craftsmanship awards, or Best in Show. They can, however, win Audience Favorite.
Wait… what?
There are times when the judges decide that an individual should be bumped up to higher category. This is most definitely a compliment on your work! Your craftsmanship is ready to be considered at a higher level and you will be competing in a way that shows everyone in their best light. In general, competitors should enter in the last category in which they were placed, or a level up if they have won a craftsmanship award in that division.
Again, we will try to accommodate as many competitors as possible and will make every effort to work with peoples' schedules. We arrange entries on a first come, first serve basis. Provided that not all craftsmanship times have already been filled, any last online applications will be accepted up until (date TBD) so that they can be processed prior to the start of the con. We'll open up any available slots on (date TBD) during cosplay check in, again on a first come, first serve basis. If time allows, there may also be a few available slots for walk-ons without a judging component. These individuals are not eligible for any craftsmanship awards or Best in Show.
We hope that we have answered your questions and set your minds at ease. If not, please drop us a line and we will do what we can to help you.
Overlord of the Cosplay Empire

See you at Colorado Anime Fest!

Beginnings Charity
Each month, PharPoint Research selects a non-profit to support through fund-raising and awareness building to aid in research and/or resource development. Also known as our Working Together for Change campaign, this company-wide initiative is dedicated to serving communities in need. During the month of March, PharPoint is working to give back to Beginnings, a non-profit for parents of children who are deaf or hard of hearing that helps parents and families understand hearing loss and the diverse needs of children who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Hearing loss is one of the most common birth defects. Nearly three out of every 1,000 children are born with a permanent hearing loss and another two or three in 1,000 will develop hearing loss later. By identifying a hearing loss early in a child's life, families can help ensure age-appropriate development. Most children born with hearing loss have parents with typical hearing. A parent who has not previously been exposed to hearing loss may not understand the consequences for their child and their family.
Help and Hope
In the first few months after learning of a hearing loss, parents and families face an overwhelming number of choices. The decisions parents make will have an impact on their child's emotional and language development. It is important for parents to understand the challenges of hearing loss, the resources available, and the many pathways to a happy and successful adulthood.
Beginnings provides families with accurate and objective information so they can make the best decisions for their child and family.
Beginnings remains in contact with families as children transition from early intervention to preschool, and along the sometimes confusing paths through elementary, middle and high schools. They are there to help parents at all times understand available options and to become their child's best advocate.
Beginnings collaborates with state agencies and organizations and serves on state and national committees, representing parents of children with hearing loss. Every day in North Carolina, they meet with parents and professionals to improve children's lives.
Free Services Offered
Beginnings provides free services to North Carolina residents who are:
- Children – birth to age 22 – who are deaf or hard of hearing
- Parents or caregivers of children who are deaf or hard of hearing
- Professionals who serve these families
Beginnings helps parents understand:
- Hearing test results
- Communication strategies
- Amplification options
- Language and speech development
- How to implement strategies for school success
- Education law
- Programs and resources available to their family
Get Involved
Interested in contributing to Beginnings to help support their programs? Your contribution to Beginnings will support education, training, publications and outreach for families of children who are who are deaf or hard of hearing and educators/professionals in the field of deafness.
You can also join Beginnings as they celebrate 30 Years of Guidance for New Journeys by attending the Annual Spring Gala and Auction. The event will be held on Wednesday, April 5, 2017 from 6:00pm-8:30pm at The Umstead Hotel in Cary, NC. Tickets can be purchased online at http://ncbegin.org/events/ or by calling (800) 541-4327.
For another chance to give back, join Beginnings at the Celebrate Sound Charity Walk in Raleigh as they walk with the Sertoma Club of Raleigh and the Capital City Sertoma Club on March 25, 2017 to raise awareness and funding. These clubs have made it possible for Beginnings to help families in the area pay for items not covered by insurance, such as ear molds, batteries, and the cost of traveling to doctor appointments.
Have you or someone you know been helped through the services of Beginnings? Please share your experience in the comments below.

Just completed a Capel 25 for an I.T Specialist in Wedmore, Somerset. What do you think? With great light where sure this will make a great garden office!
Monthly Archives: May 2013
A Recent Job we did in the Lakes
Here is a picture of a recently built Colgate 25, finished in Jacobean walnut for a solicitors.
Want an Off Grid Garden Office? We spoke to Eco Shed of the Year Winner, Kevin Holland
"I just want a comfortable life without being held to ransom by foreign owned energy companys and to do my bit for the planet," said Kevin Holland, winner of 2012 eco shed of the year.
Kevin is a former community policeman who calls the headquarters of his renewable energy business, a solar shed. Although traditionally a man's domain Kevin admits he hosts community meetings as well as charity events in his workshop.
Kevin had to pay up front for solar panels but now the 250w Philidelphia M60's feed electricity back into the grid.
"The more energy efficient you are, the less money you spend, " Kevin said.
"My own house dates back to 1480 and used to cost me over £1500 in oil and £800 in electricity bills. Now I spend about £500 on oil, and that will be down to zero within 2 years due to other measures.
"My electric bills are paid for by the money I receive from having a feed-in tariff, so I suppose, yes, it is worth it."
Kevin Holland was going around council estates and participating in energy saving projects. Ten years on he transferred this knowledge to his shed, house and business in the Norfolk countryside, putting dreams into practice.
"Ideally, an insulated shed costs less to heat if using it for a workspace, " Kevin said.
"And the golden rule of renewable energy is insulate before generate, or reduce before you produce."
"Years ago, everyone had an Anderson Shelter to protect them from Mr Hitler's bombs. Today's risks are very different; fuel supplies, water shortages, waste disposal, and energy security. "
"My panels are grid tied and feed power into the workshop where we have an office and all the freezers that store our food that we grow."
That said, in addition, part of Kevin's rainwater system runs over the panels keeping them at optimum temperature.
"I can't find better panels for the UK Climate, but inverter technology has slightly improved since I had mine fitted," Kevin said.
"The company Samil are now doing an inverter with a 99% efficiency as well as a 20 year extended warranty."
Kevin could also have suggested using the natural light in more of a usual way. When you choose your windows plan for the path of the sun in winter as well as in summer. With a lower winter sunlight it is more likely to need lower tree trops. You might even want to think about adding some sky windows.
A rough guide for the overall area of the windows is to leave one fifth of the wall area transparent for maximising the use of the sun. Then with that done, standard solar lights cost nothing more than the original outlay as they charge during the day. There is, for instance, a d.light at £30 that has a good beam and also charges your mobile phone.
While Kevin is a passionate eco shed spokesman there are different exents that you can follow. But what then is the need for additional products?
"Once a space has been made comfortable, one should look at lighting and heating, " Kevin said.
There may be grants available to help with energy saving installations. One place to start asking questions is the UK's energy savings trusts.
Kevin Holland has an array of trophies for his enterprising feats and he is ready for every eventuality. The well-known " Be Prepared" of the boy scout's motto seems fitting enough when it comes to designing and building a garden office.
"If the Russians turned the gas taps off and we had a drought, I could live quite comfortably because of the renewable energy measure I have put in place, " Kevin said.
Kevin's words may sound drastic at the outset but he probably would have won the Scout of the Year award.

Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingles are currently the most popular type of residential roofing material for a variety of reasons. They are relatively inexpensive. Things that determine the cost of roof shingles include the geographical location, the slope of the roof, the height of the building, the ease of access to the premises, the complexity of the project, the particular type of shingle (Architectural, 3-Tab, and designer shingles) and numerous other factors. Asphalt roofing shingles come in a variety of colors and styles, are highly durable to natural elements of weather and can be easily maintained and repaired. We can help you choose the right type of asphalt shingle to install for your home or business, and we have plenty of options available.
What is an Asphalt Shingle?
Glass fiber shingles have a glass fiber reinforcing mat manufactured to the shape of the shingle. This mat is then coated with asphalt which contains mineral fillers. The glass fiber mat is not waterproof by itself. Its purpose is for reinforcement. What makes the glass fiber shingle waterproof is the asphalt. However, the asphalt itself will not stick to the mat. For this reason, "fillers" are used. The fillers in the asphalt cling to the glass fibers in the mat. The asphalt then encapsulates the glass fibers, fills all of the little holes and voids in the mat, rendering it waterproof. After this cools a bit, an adhesive asphalt is used to cover the mat and the ceramic granules are then embedded.
Asphalt shingles come in two basic types: glass fiber (a.k.a. fiber glass) and organic. Organic shingles consist of an organic felt material, which is generally paper saturated with asphalt to make it waterproof. A top coating of adhesive asphalt is then applied, and the ceramic granules are then embedded. Organic shingles have not lived up to their name and have become obsolete in the market. Organics became popular in the late 80s and early 90s; however, their popularity is diminishing due to their inability to resist the natural environment. Many customers have seen their organic shingles fail prematurely (approximately 5-12 years after installation) with signs of cracking and brittleness. For this reason, Adept Construction does not promote the use of organic shingles and instead recommends the use of fiberglass shingles.
Architectural Shingle Roofing vs. 3-Tab Asphalt Shingles
Architectural shingles are considered high-end asphalt shingles due to their quality and distinctive textured look. Architectural shingles are also known as three-dimensional shingles or laminate shingles. Architectural shingles were introduced to the home construction market in the 1970s in the continued effort to produce an asphalt shingle product that had the higher end quality look of slate or cedar wood shake shingles, without the negatives of breakage, insect damage or weight.
How Asphalt Shingle Roofing Stands Out
Architectural asphalt shingles have a unique visual appearance. Instead of a running row pattern that is observed with three-tab shingles, architectural shingles have a cedar-shake-texture appearance that give a more dramatic look to a home. Architectural shingles are also excellent for hiding roof imperfections due to their textured look. Many home builders prefer to use them today due to this benefit alone. In addition, from some builders' perspectives, architectural shingles are also easier to install than three-tab roof shingles.
Three-tab asphalt shingles have set the stage over time for specialty architectural composition shingles. The latter are easier to lay, thus, saving on installation time, effort and cost. Although three-tab asphalt shingles are somewhat cheaper than the architectural composite ones, the latter are vastly growing in popularity for residential roofing and pushing the former out of the market.
Since they are still in use, three-tab asphalt shingles are offered in a variety of colors to satisfy practically any style preference. They are also economical when it comes to repairing asphalt shingles or an overall re-roofing job. Although the choice of roof shingles is a composite of style, budget and time, to name a few factors, it is not as common to find homeowners who choose three-tab asphalt shingles. They generally are less attractive and do not last for very long, possibly affecting the resale value of the home.

The Mason County Commission held another briefing on the Belfair Sewer Finance Plan. Staff from the State Department of Ecology attended the briefing. During the meeting, the Commissioners asked Ecology several questions relating to possible refinancing the system's debt and whether septic systems could still be allowed in an Urban Growth Area.
Ecology said refinancing is a possibility but through the USDA and the Department of Commerce would likely have the answer for the septic system question.
The suggestion to meet with those entities and other funding agency was also made.

It was against the odd to many who expected the stagnating home sales would boost the home rental market in the country. The rental market across the country has remained more or less flat over the past one year amidst the inventory pile up. Only a few locations in the metro cities like Delhi, Bengaluru, Mumbai and Gurgaon has shown a marginal hike in rental market. On contrary to this, a survey by real estate portal revealed the home rental market in Kolkata has spiraled up in certain areas. Along with the inventory pile up, stagnant rental market also has become one of the key concerns in realty sector.
Delhi holds close to 2 lakh unsold residential properties to its chest which can be expected to take 14 quarters to be sold off. While Mumbai has approximately 12 quarters of inventory pending, Hyderabad inches close to 8 quarters. When the home sales are piling up, the rental market is right on the cards. But unfortunately it hasn't flourished as expected.In the ancient days, the lack of infrastructure forced the people to rent their homes at prime locations even if the rentals were high. But the scenario has changed now with wide spread infrastructure and good connectivity factor. Advents like metro, flyovers, expressways and much more has made people to travel to affordable destinations.
Hence the home sales and rental market are in a stagnant stage. But the demand over the realty properties is not losing as day by day construction goes in full swing. It's the buyer who is reluctant to engage in realty arena, whether it is rental market or home sales. For rental market to thrive in India, primarily we need an ideal legal frame work. Nowadays a large number of people travel from one place to other, especially youngsters in search of better livelihood. This offers good scope to the rental market. But with under performance in the law and lack of reforms to boost the rental sector, it's the future of India that wanders homeless.
And on the other side the landlords are also facing problems in renting their home. The acts enacted by the government in the rental market allow restrictions to land lords on price increases and leasing their apartments. With rental income capped at outdated prices amid land lords who engage in long term leasing with tenants, they faces severe loses in their rental stock. Once confronting with lose, these properties will not be rejuvenated by the land lords leaving it to dilapidate.
One of the major nightmares to the land lords are the tenants who fails to pay the rent of the leased property. This is a frequent issue faced by the land lords, further dragging them back from the renting their property. This further becomes a drawback to the development of rental market.
Can you imagine how many people over the last year have migrated to metro cities from rural villages in search of jobs? These people are especially youth who represents different social strata and will look for leasing a home till the time when they are settled down. So rental market holds huge future perspectives and has to deliver much stronger countering all the hurdles.
Madhyam is a well known Real Estate Consultants in Noida, Delhi NCR.
