Hey everyone!
My name's Theo McArthur…
You can find out a lot more about me and how I assist other people to create a full time living and considerably more, by tapping in to the biggest online marketplace in the world, on my weblog at http://amzmaster.com/blog/
Amazon has 244 million registered shoppers. It is twice as huge as Ebay in relation to sheer volume of sales.
Let's appear at a number of of the perks on provide when we tap into Amazon as a strategy to make money:
You don't need a web-site
You do not have to find prospects
You don't have to process payments
Amazon pays you speedy!
There are numerous more rewards, but these 4 perks alone suggests that Amazon is a very 'beginner friendly' spot to earn an income. You do not need to have any expertise or any technical capabilities (phew!)
Alright, so let's dive in and look at 5 ways that you could generate profits by using Amazon
You'll be able to sell toys on Amazon at any time with the year except over the Christmas period when only approved sellers are allowed to sell toys. So any other time of the year is fine.
With regards to toys, the top way should be to appear for things which might be on sale/discounted in offline retailers. In some cases when a toy is not quite so well-known any longer, the stores sell them off at a discount.
Having said that, they may nonetheless how to sell on amazon since in relation to toys, you can find Generally men and women hunting for a particular toy and quite a few Amazon shoppers do not want to go out browsing the shops. They like the comfort of purchasing Amazon.
Disposable Stuff:
By this I mean stuff that every person buys, utilizes, throws away and buys again.
Trash bags, cleaning cloths, wipes, tissues, food bags, doggy poop bags…
The best approach to sell these kinds of things on Amazon, would be to bundle quite a few packs collectively. So you can bundle 5 packs of trash bags with each other, or even bundle packs of large trash bags and kitchen trash bags collectively.
These sorts of things are terrific to sell due to the fact Amazon shoppers will frequently get the precise very same products over and more than once again. So you can get a great deal of repeat sales in the very same shoppers!
Trade inside your Electronics:
Do you've a laptop, camera, telephone, mp3 player or any other kind of electronic that you just no longer use or want?
If so, Amazon will take them off your hands and in exchange they may give you Amazon Gift Cards. Now I know this is not cash, but you may use those present cards to buy other folks things from Amazon. And considering that Amazon now sells practically every little thing, a gift card is pretty much as fantastic as money!
AliExpress can be a aspect of Alibaba, which should you haven't heard of it, would be the largest on-line supplier of wholesale and direct from manufacturer goods on the planet.
The good issue about AliExpress, is the fact that it is possible to invest in just a single item at a time if you need to. It is possible to also see the feedback rating of the suppliers and select to only get from a supplier with plenty of 5 star feedback comments.
AliExpress is 100% protected and safe and you can come across some amazing bargains to sell on Amazon for a fantastic profit.
Plenty of the products are sent to you from China, but it you are not within a hurry you can choose to possess your stuff sent by China Post, which is cost-free, but can take provided that 2-3 months to arrive! Despite the fact that it says 30-45 days on the web site, in reality it typically requires longer, so often allow 3 months.
Having said that, for those who decide to get several units of a certain item, you might believe it is worthwhile to pay several dollars for shipping and get them shipped to you by means of one of the express carriers. Generally that only takes about 5 days or so.
Also around the AliExpress web site, you'll find suppliers who preserve stock inside the Usa. So in the event the item you want has the option of shipping from the US, you happen to be in luck!
Kole Imports:
Get some inexpensive products wholesale and sell them on Amazon for profit utilizing this US based wholesale supplier.
This is a really handy little supplier because they enable you to purchase a tiny quantity of units. As small as 2 or 3 units at a time. They've about 3000 distinct goods that you could acquire and resell on Amazon. They also ship worldwide, so even when you don't reside within the US, you'll be able to nevertheless purchase wholesale from Kole Imports.
You won't come across nearly as a large a choice right here as you are going to on AliExpress, but it's still a rapid and easy method to get a handful of items to sell at profit.
Listed here are a few details about selling on Amazon:
1.The number of sellers who create a least a million a year in sales, improved by more than 30% in 2014 when when compared with 2013

AceShowbiz - %cBen Affleck% could be considered for senate run. There are whispers that the actor is on the list of candidates to become U.S. senate following rumors that Sen. John Kerry is on the top wish list to be the next Secretary of State replacing Hillary Clinton in a second-term Barack Obama administration.
"Ben has been very active in Democratic Party politics for a long time and has never hid his love of politics," the "Argo" star's friend tells The Huffington Post about the possible senate candidacy. "He is a very impressive person, with a great deal of knowledge and passion."
"Anyone that underestimates Ben's political ambition is a fool. He's very focused and smart. People once laughed when he said he wanted to be a director, and now they are not laughing," another source says. "Also, never forget that this guy survived Bennifer -- so anything is possible," the insider adds, referring to his high-profile breakup with %cJennifer Lopez%.
Ben himself remained coy about the matter. "One never knows. I'm not one to get into conjecture," the husband of %cJennifer Garner% said when asked by %cBob Schieffer% during a Wednesday, December 19 taping of CBS' "Face the Nation".
"I do have a great fondness and admiration for the political process in this country," he added. "It's a big deal for me to come down here and be on your show that I've watched so much, but I'm not going to get into speculation about my political future."

Second day of fuel scarcity in Abuja
The lingering fuel scarcity is biting harder in the Federal Capital Territory with the queues at petrol station, increasing overnight and some residents spending the night at the stations.
Major petrol stations are still not dispensing fuel though some of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) mega stations across the city have started selling.
The situation has caused major traffic and chaos around petrol stations as car owners scramble to stay in line.
Transport fares have also skyrocketed affecting movement of people and workers in the nation's capital.
This is coming at a very difficult time, for a number of residents in the city are planning to travel for forthcoming Sallah holiday's.
Management of petrol stations visited by Channels Television, lamented that trucks are still not allowed into Abuja to dispense fuel.
According to the oil marketers, the federal government has failed to pay them for fuel imports.
Our correspondent Doris Okenwa reports that transport fares in Abuja have trippled, and it's even more difficult to get public transport since most vehicles are queuing up at fuel stations.
The cost of petrol has also been affected with some vehicle owners purchasing the product between N120 – N150 per litre at the black market.
Ahead of the Sallah celebration, major motors parks in the FCT are experiencing low turnout of passengers.
Motorist who spoke with Channels Television attributed the decline to the insufficient supply of petroleum products to the federal capital.
Meanwhile, transport fares from the FCT to other parts of the country still remain at the same price.
Few passengers who showed up at the motor parks are glad that transport fares have not been increased despite the insufficient supply of petrol to the federal capital.

Bamboo flooring is on high demand these days thanks to its eco-friendly features. The bamboo plant takes just 2-3 years to re-grow while it takes almost 2 decades for a hardwood tree. Besides, bamboo flooring ensures easy installation and looks really stylish with any theme of décor, be it vintage or contemporary. However, you should know that bamboo flooring needs good maintenance to preserve its longevity over the years. The article here shares some tips highlighting on how to maintain your bamboo flooring effectively.
To start with, bamboo flooring demands regular cleaning. You have to opt for a fine bristled brush here that would be gentle on the floor. Remember dust, dirt and sand particles are really harmful for the bamboo surface as these can leave on unsightly scratches on the flooring. It's also advised to use vacuum cleaner on bamboo flooring so that you can reach out to every corner of the floor. You have to be very careful with water on bamboo flooring as prolonged water retention on the bamboo surface can be hugely damaging for the floor. Use damp cloth to mop the floor and dry it immediately so that water does not get to sit there for long.
Then, you have to be very careful with the furnishing on the floor surface as well. Never drag the chairs or tables on the floor surface while shifting them from one place to another. It's advised that lift them up while moving. Dragging will result in dents and scratches on the floor surface. It's good if you can arrange for padding under the heavy dining table you have placed on the bamboo floor. Besides, always ask your guests to leave their shoes while stepping on the floor. Shoes, especially those with high heels can create unwanted scratches on the bamboo surface.

London: It's more often likened to a circus than a gallery, but Britain's Parliament is full of art.
For the most part that means portraits of somber-looking men, but the latest addition is different — a huge, vividly colored light sculpture commemorating the decades-long battle that won British women the vote.
The first abstract artwork created for permanent display in the 19th-century parliamentary complex, New Dawn was unveiled Tuesday on the 150th anniversary of the first mass petition to Parliament calling for women to have the right to vote.
It would be more than 60 years before the goal was achieved, and artist Mary Branson wants her work to pay tribute to the thousands of people who fought for women's voting rights over the decades.
A few are well known, especially the militant suffragettes who fought with protests, hunger strikes and even bombings. But Branson, who spent six months exploring Parliament's archives, said she was moved by "all the women that I'd never heard about, ordinary people like ourselves."
"There were so many women coming in relentlessly day after day," she said. "Petitioning, protesting."
Branson calculated how many petitions calling for female suffrage were submitted to Parliament between 1866 and 1918, when women over 30 were granted the vote. (Full voting equality with men took another decade).
There were almost 16,500, featuring more than 3 million signatures.
"That said to me I needed to make something really big, and I needed to put it in a really powerful space," Branson said.
Branson found visual inspiration in Parliament's Act Room, where thousands of laws stretching back centuries are stored on parchment scrolls.
New Dawn consists of 168 circles of hand-blown glass inspired by the scrolls, mounted in a four-meter-by-six-meter (13 foot-by-20 foot) ellipse.
The sculpture is lit from behind in a rainbow of colors to reflect the many strands of the votes-for-women movement. The lighting changes over a 12-hour period timed to the tides of the River Thames that winds through London — symbolising the unstoppable tide of change.
Parliament may have been slow to grant women the vote, but it has paid for the 124,000 pound ($180,000) cost of the sculpture — and is selling a range of mugs, earrings, chocolate bars and other New Dawn merchandise in its gift shop.
"It's a fitting tribute to the champions of liberty of the past, as well as an inspiration for future generations," Commons Speaker John Bercow said of the artwork.
It hangs in one of the most prominent positions in Parliament, above the entrance to St. Stephen's Hall, the main approach to the House of Commons and the site of many protests over the years.
Branson said her glass scrolls are mounted atop a portcullis, an iron gate that is the traditional symbol of Parliament. In the artwork, the portcullis is open.
"It's like women are here," Branson said. "We're in."

my new tee, my old jeans again and a scarf. i could actually wear one without feeling like a ridicules hipster. nothing against hipsters in general because i pretty much dress like one most of the time, but a scarf in 25 degree heat looks so try hard. the change in seasons is bringing out a lot more then scarves. there's boots, layers of cardigans and blazers, tights and knee socks and leather. i love fall. today was another cool day and we're going to check out if the leaves have changed yet up in parry sound tomorrow. kev and i will be spending the day out in the canoe (him paddling, me sitting), fishing and basically enjoying the outdoors. then wednesday morning breakfast at our favourite diner lil's. i haven't been up to too much the last few days, trying not to shop so i can save for nyc. unfortunately, it seems topshop will be pushing back their opening and we won't be there for it after all, i'm so disappointed. they don't even deliver to canada from their website, it sucks. i guess that means more cash to spend at mulberry and marc jacobs. p.s. how amazing was blair's yellow dress on g.girl today. she looked so pretty.

Further Info:
Celtic cross (Irish: cros Cheilteach, Scottish Gaelic: crois Cheilteach, Manx: crosh Cheltiagh, Welsh: croes Geltaidd, Cornish: krows geltek, Breton: kroaz geltek) is the common name given to a symbol that combines a cross with a ring surrounding the intersection. It belongs to a kind of crosses with a nimbus. In the Celtic Christian world it was combined with the Christian cross and this design was often used for high crosses - a free-standing cross made of stone and often richly decorated. With the Celtic Revival the shape, usually decorated with interlace and other motifs from Insular art, became popular for funerary monuments and other uses, and has remained so, spreading well beyond the British Isles.

This page is a tribute to our fallen brothers and sisters.
It has been a tradition among bikers, for a long time, to run a brass bell on the left swing arm, to remember our brothers and sisters who have gone down riding. It's a small thing, but the reason a brass bell is chosen is that as we ride it will get dirty and tarnished. Every time we get down and wash and polish it, we are reminded of friends lost, and our thoughts turn to the meaning of being in the wind. As we ride, and hear the bell ring, we know that our brothers and sisters are riding with us. How easy it would be to join them with a single mistake. And maybe, just maybe, the next time a situation comes up, they will be there to help us as long as we remember them by "Polishing the Bell".

Good afternoon everyone! I recently got my June birchbox and I wanted to share with you all what came in mine. This months theme was Jet Set and I am really excited to try some of the products! Descriptions below come from the little slip that explains what each product offers.
Comodynes: Self-Tanning Intensive European Towelettes. The box comes with two packs of these towelettes and I'm really excited to see how well they work!
Stila: One Step Bronze 3-in-1 bronzer, primer, and serum that keeps skin's oil production in check. This product seems like something I will really enjoy! It does have some sparkle in it so I'm a little concerned whether it will really keep my oil in check or just make me look more oily!
theBalm Cosmetics: Stainiac in Beauty Queen is a 2-in-1 lip and cheek stain. This lip stain has a rather funny smell but I'm still excited to give it a try.
Wonderstruck: Fragrance by Taylor Swift. I've heard a lot of great things about this scent so I'm really excited to try it!
Luna Bar: Luna Mini in Peanut Butter Cookie. I'm a big fan of Luna bars so I was pleasantly surprised to see the mini version in my box! I'm a big chocolate lover but this peanut butter cookie flavor is delicious! I will definitely be repurchasing this flavor!
That's all for this months box! I'm excited to give it a try and let you all know how it went!
Have you all received your boxes? What did you think? 🙂

Subscribe To Legends Of Tomorrow Series Premiere Brings In Super Ratings For The CW Updates
I've already subscribed
As one of the more unique spinoffs in TV history, The CW's Legends of Tomorrow is a mixed bag of new and recognizable characters that not only appeals to fans of flagship shows Arrow and The Flash, but also to large swaths of comic book fans in general. It looks like this approach was exactly what the doctor ordered, assuming the doctor is also a network programming exec, and the superpowered adventure brought in huge ratings for The CW and even helped follow-up drama The 100 earn some banging numbers of its own.
Together, Legends of Tomorrow and The 100 gave The CW its best Thursday night audiences in over three years as far as total ratings go, and the network saw its best 18-49 demo ratings for the night in over two years. Thursday nights used to be run by The Vampire Diaries on The CW, and it looks like the change-up from fantastical drama to…another fantastical drama…was a smart move, and audiences certainly did what the network was hoping.
To break it all down, Legends of Tomorrow's twist-driven Season 1 premiere brought in 3.14 million people and became the highest-rated program in that time slot for the network in over three years, while the 1.2 demo rating was the highest for the time period in the two years since The Vampire Diaries' 100th episode in early 2014. And as far as the male side of the 18-49 demo goes, the series premiere was the highest-rated telecast in that time slot since February 2010. The episode also managed to double the ratings that the timeslot has seen previously this season.
Now, the premiere didn't manage to top the fairly outstanding numbers earned by the series premiere of The Flash in 2014, but it's the biggest debut for the network since that time. And it also managed to beat out ABC and NBC programming for that hour for the key demographic. Take that!
As far as The 100 goes, the Season 3 premiere was the highest-rated episode in the key demo since the series' second episode in 2014, and it brought in the biggest numbers (1.98 million) since another Season 1 episode. The post-apocalyptic drama also managed to double up the average audience for that time period this season.
Will Legends of Tomorrow manage to keep its ratings up and growing throughout the season? It's definitely possible, considering there are plenty of new actors and fan-favorite characters coming later in the year. Baby steps first, though, so don't forget that Legends of Tomorrow will be back next week for "Pilot: Part 2," and you can find the show every Thursday night on The CW. To see what else you should be watching, check out our midseason TV schedule.

Although many businesses are transitioning to digital media and content for marketing to and communicating with customers, paper is still used in everyday operations. Whether it is in the field of education, health care, finance or another sector, most corporations require the exchange of materials that contain sensitive data and information, such as payment receipts, insurance forms and personal identification details. Without these documents, organizations wouldn't be able to complete service transactions. Therefore, print distributors play a key role in the success of companies today. In fact, according to the Print Services and Distribution Association, "
Leveraging strategic printing solutions
The paper industry may be less crowded than it once was, but that means print providers must implement innovative strategies that maximize their appeal to audiences. In this digitalized world, the companies that succeed are those that stay informed on emerging trends and quickly adapt to shifts in the market. For example, with security being such a hot topic in the media, it is highly recommended that businesses use products that have advanced protection features embedded in them.
However, choosing a printing company shouldn't just be based on the types of products it offers; it should also be about the quality of service provided. And when it comes to distributors, success hinges on the ability to make timely deliveries, access pertinent data and insight and efficiently manage inventory levels.
Patience levels are not as high as they once were; the digital revolution has raised the bar of consumer expectations by enhancing the availability of information, products and services. Technology has streamlined many functions and enabled businesses to perform faster and more efficiently. Companies must adopt modern strategies and solutions that will help meet the growing demands of customers.
Benefits of paperless WMS
One sector that has greatly benefited from the use of artificial intelligence is warehousing and distribution. Automated systems are becoming a staple in workflow production. And while it is widely understood that paper documents are here to stay, inventory and order fulfillment processes do not need to be handled in this format. Using an integrative, Web-based platform can help print distributors significantly improve their bottom lines in the same way it helps other organizations increase connectivity and accessibility for both internal and external communications. Furthermore, i2i Logistics pointed out that electronic warehousing and online order management portals offer a distinct set of advantages over traditional systems.
- Increased productivity and accuracy. When digital software is used in distribution centers, there is less room for mistakes. As the source pointed out, "[e]rrors in receiving, stocking, picking and shipping are common in manual paper-based warehouses. The impact of each error is magnified because correcting errors is not real-time." In addition, eWarehousing solutions can help increase productivity by having computers complete tasks faster than humans would and improving accuracy of inventory levels.
- More control. Customers that partner with print distributors that use online portals will be able to create new inventory release and receiving orders and streamline pick and pack operations, as well as pallet and box shipping. They will also be able to check the status of an order and organize lists by functions, such as by shipment numbers or individual jobs.
- Enhanced insight. Print distributors will be able to enhance customer service by responding to and resolving any disruptions or threats as they occur. Real-time reporting and online shipment tracking features enable users to improve end-to-end visibility and transparency along all phases of production.
A company is only as valuable as its customers are satisfied. Businesses rely on print distributors to provide them with timely, quality and affordable services. To exceed customers' expectations and maintain a competitive presence in the market, printing service providers must utilize the cutting-edge innovative tools, software and solutions available to them.
By partnering with a third-party organization that specializes in online warehousing and order management systems, providers can help reduce business costs, improve customer service and enhance overall success.

From "The Bomber Command War Diaries" by Martin Middlebrook & Chris Everitt, there's a raid against Essen during the night 11/12, so I don't think it matches.
There'a another raid against Essen during the night 12/13, involving 4 Pathfinder Mosquitos et 55 Lancasters and No. 1 and 5 Groups. 1 Lancaster lost. Minor operations : 32 aircraft minelaying off Biscay ports , 5 O.T.U. sorties. No losses.
So your grand-father's first op, while still in O.T.U., in one of these 5. Usually the O.T.U. ops were leaflets dropping, missions known as "nickel" or "nickelling". If you have the O.T.U. number (you should, as you have the log-book), you should be able to check the relevant Operations Record Book, at The National Archives, in Kew, London.

What people say

Some years ago, my family travelled to Buchans, Newfoundland for a blended family reunion. I was a teenager with attitude, and expected to be bored out of my mind. Nothing could have been further from the truth.
Travelling by van allowed us to stop along the way often to sample the best fish and chips imaginable; meet children selling bakeapple berries roadside, or be delighted by glaciers and clusters of bright houses in Twillingate. In fact, that teenage girl's favourite places still fascinate today.
Read on as I take you on a tour of some of the best things to do in Newfoundland.
A stormy Atlantic crossing
We began our journey by flying into Halifax, Nova Scotia, driving through the highlands of Cape Breton and then catching an overnight ferry from Sydney to Newfoundland. Crossing the Atlantic was quite a stormy adventure; we experienced choppy waters, thick accents and a way of travelling not so common anymore…at least for us.
We finally arrived in the dead of night, desperate for a hotel, and made our way through miles of thick fog, and warning signs for moose on the road, before we reached our first destination.
A few must dos for your Newfoundland adventure
In our week-long road trip to Buchans, there wasn't a dull moment: Music, friendly faces, craft fairs, homemade seal flipper pie, peering at glaciers in the bay as we drove by…we loved it all.
Visit the Vikings at L'Anse aux Meadows
L'Anse aux Meadows is an archaeological site on the tip of Newfoundland's Great Northern Peninsula. It's the first known site of European presence in the Americas; a camp still set up from a Norse expedition from Greenland. In other words, Vikings! It's a fascinating place to visit.
Being from the west coast of Canada, it was a part of Canadian heritage I didn't know much about—a magical dreamland of thatched Norse longhouses built half inside the earth. Our tour guides, who were dressed like Vikings, put on a pageant about Erik the Red with music and dance outside in the grassy fields overlooking the ocean. It was a scene from another time.
Get lost in Gros Morne Park
We visited Gros Morne Park, an absolute must for any traveller. This World Heritage Site is located on the west coast of Newfoundland and its beauty is beyond compare. It's amazing to pick up a rock which is from the mantle of the earth's crust – iron-heavy, with brilliantly oxidized surfaces.
We camped in the park and hiked the windy bluffs; we kayaked down a river to crawl up into caves and run our fingers over ancient First Nations hieroglyphs. If at any point we'd come across a mythical creature or stumbled on ancient pirate wreckage, we wouldn't have been surprised. At Gros Morne, one can visit a colourful coastal village, cruise a cliff-lined freshwater fjord, stroll across 500 million years of the earth's past in an hour, and hike a rare, exposed piece of the earth's mantle.
Check out Mount Pearl's Christmas in July celebration
Next, we got to the town of Mount Pearl, Avalon, just in time for their annual Christmas in July Parade. Apparently during the winter months it was way too cold to travel, so in July the whole town gets together to celebrate Christmas. They put on a full holiday parade with endless trucks along with a Santa Claus float; children got little presents and a photo with Santa. Then into the local church hall for a full turkey dinner with all the trimmings.
Get Screeched In- Become an honourary Newfoundlander
We finally made it to Buchans for the reunion, where we had the honour of being Screeched In. This is the only way to become an honourary Newfoundlander, apart from dying and having the good fortune of being reincarnated as one. Screech is the original rum imported from the West Indies. It was historically shipped in unmarked bottles.
There were several hundred of us in the local town hall for a huge party. All the non-Newfoundlanders were called up to the front and one-by-one we each got Screeched In:
- First, we donned Sou'Wester hats (a classic fisherman's rain hat).
- Next, we kissed a fresh cod on the lips (a slimy affair) and stomped our feet in a bucket of Atlantic sea water.
- Finally, we held our shots of Screech up high for all to see and yelled, "Long may your big jib draw" (meaning: may the wind always be in your fore sails) and downed them in one swallow. How exhilarating!
When asked how it was to kiss the cod, that teenage girl smiled, "I've had worse."
Newfoundland is a fantastic place to visit for everyone, including teenagers, as it turned out. A great place to go for anyone travelling in Canada, it is rich in history and breathtaking in nature, but most amazing are the Newfoundlanders themselves. Their warmth and humour is beyond compare. It's like having a colourful, comforting quilt thrown over you the minute you arrive. You are so welcomed, and you are home at last; Screeched In to the family.

Cowboy culture is alive and well in Fort Worth, a city of about 775,000 just to the west of Dallas (and often lumped in the same metropolitan area). Fort Worth's a colorful composite of cattle drives, railroads, Western music, hats and saddles, rodeos, and modern-day saloons. Ride a horse, buy a cowboy hat and handmade boots, and eat some of the best BBQ in Texas.
That's exactly what I intended to do when I targeted the famous Stockyards National Historic District in Fort Worth for my fix of Western immersion. After all, the best place to start any visit to Fort Worth is where the past meets the present. Besides, I wanted to showcase my hat and boots in a way that only Texans can truly appreciate.
The Stockyards
I was pleased to discover that the Stockyards District is almost a destination unto itself. Here I found a twice-daily cattle drive herded through the streets of town, driven by drovers with manners. One of the friendly fellas on horseback even greeted me with a "G'day ma'am, how r ya doing?"
I listened to a variety of languages and accents around me as I jockeyed my way into position for photos of the longhorns. The ones I could distinguish were German, French, Spanish and Japanese, with some Eastern European tongues sprinkled in that I didn't recognize. I guess the draw is that the Wild West is so uniquely American. There's nothing like it anywhere else.
After getting my quintessential Western shots, I sauntered on over to the nearby Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame Museum. The museum "honors Texas men and women who have excelled in the sport and business of rodeo, and the western lifestyle." Save time for the Sterquell Wagon Collection, the world's largest collection of lifestyle wagons. Of note is the chuck wagon, first developed in the 1860s by Charles Goodnight. The cowboy's "kitchen on wheels" was an integral part of cattle drives between South Texas and the Kansas railheads. Staples included salt pork, beans, coffee, and sometimes sourdough bread and any wild game caught along the trail.
Naturally, I saved time for some retail therapy – there are quite a few one-of-a-kind and boutique shops in the Stockyard District. Get a pair of custom-made boots or even a saddle at M.L. Leddy's. Shop at Maverick Fine Western Wear for clothing fit for urban cowboys and cowgirls. Or get your hat custom-steamed at Fincher's White Front Western Wear.
Best Texas two-steppin'
It was time for me to shuffle on over to the world famous Billy Bob's Texas for some Texas two-steppin' lessons. This is where you go to learn how to dance in what is billed as the "World's Largest Honky Tonk." The affable Wendell Nelson, a dance instructor at Billy Bob's for over 20 years, teaches free line dance lessons every Thursday night at 7 pm. Nelson believes that "dancing is the most fun you can have standing up."
A wildly popular country-western nightclub with a capacity of over 6,000 people, Billy Bob's boasts 127,000 square feet for boot-scootin' fun and has hosted legendary musicians like Willie Nelson, George Strait, Alan Jackson, Reba McEntire and Travis Tritt. It's also home to a small indoor rodeo. Why ride a mechanical bull when you can witness the real thing?
Best barbecue and beer in town
All that boot scootin' worked up my appetite, so I decided to go where the locals chow down for some of the best barbecue in town. Within walking distance, Cooper's Old Time BBQ is famous for smoking meat with a dry rub. I was surprised how meaty and succulent the beef ribs are here – and, for that matter, all the smoked meats. The place isn't fancy, more cafeteria-style with an ambiance I'd call local cowboy. (I counted over 25 cowboys and cowgirls dining with hats.)
I ordered just one beef rib after being told that they have a lot of meat, but I really didn't believe the jargon. I ended up sharing half the rib with my son and had a baked potato, coated with the dry-rub, that didn't even need butter!
Next, we moseyed on back to the heart of the historic stockyards (Exchange Ave.) for the best place in cowtown to down some suds: White Elephant Saloon. Here we found a bevy of cowboy hats all over the walls, a weird collection of white elephants, and a great selection of beer – along with live music, which happens seven nights a week. Besides it being Fort Worth's most historic saloon and dancehall, I heard some chatter about it being the site of the "last great gunfight in Fort Worth."

Note: This story has been updated. Residents of Dutchtown, a small neighborhood in Rockland County, awoke Sunday morning to the stench of diesel fuel blowing in off the nearby Hudson River. Residents saw the rainbow sheen of a fuel spill extending some 40 feet out onto the water.
The Rockland County sheriffs office said a Tilcon New York quarry tugboat caused the spill and the quarry's environmental team planned to handle the remediation. The Coast Guard will investigate and oversee the cleanup.
Update: Officials from the Coast Guard, the lead agency on the investigation, say its pollution teams discovered the diesel is actually rain runoff from somewhere up river, not from a tugboat as originally reported. Source: lohud

During the first days it might feel a bit unusual to have only one hand indicating the time. But don't worry, you will get used to it very quickly and start appreciating this much more natural way of showing the time. With only one glance at your watch, you will immediately get a good orientation of where you stand in your day. Taking a normal look, you will get a precise enough indication of the time.
Go natural: If you prefer the steel and leather in its original colors you should shop this unisex watch with silver case and brown strap. It's simply a great vintage timepiece that will set a unique tone to your outfit.

Apparently I am the dumbest kid on the block. I have been on the search for curtains for my house for 3 years. I want something light and bright but also fun and cute. The reason why I am a block head is....I SEW!! I COULD HAVE MADE MY OWN CURTAINS!! Gosh! I came to that realization this morning and immediately went on Etsy to begin my search for the perfect fabric.
Can I just say that I am a block head one more time. Thanks.
Anyway, a few pages into my search I came across this lovely fabric and by coincidence the designer's name is Jessica. (First clue that it's meant to be.)
So, I Googled her. I found her blog, and her fabrics are sold at my favorite fabric store of all time, Tumbleweeds. Did I mention she grew up on Cape Cod? (Second clue that's it meant to be.). This is the fabric I have been looking for for 3 years!!!! I think a trip to Tumbleweeds is in order! And while I am in Hyannis I will stop at Trader Joe's and pick up a few things....or a hundred. It will be a good day, I can feel it in my bones.

QUEBEC — The wave of scandals battering the Roman Catholic Church is only the tip of the iceberg, claims a victims' rights advocate in Quebec who has gathered more than 400 testimonies from men and women who say they, too, were abused by priests.
France Bedard, 62, who heads an organization that assists victims of sexually abusive priests, says many of them will break their silence in the coming months.
"More revelations will be made because many victims now have the strength to come forward," Bedard said.
She said cases of abuse that have been exposed at the Notre Dame College in Montreal are encouraging male victims to speak out.
Last year, a Montreal Gazette investigation uncovered dozens of cases of abuse by the college's clergy during the 1970s.
Bedard says she herself was raped and impregnated by a priest in the 1960s. She decided to press charges only in 2005 after the Quebec City Roman Catholic archdiocese refused to help her, saying the priest was denying being the father of her child.
A DNA test later proved Armand Therrien was indeed the father. He was charged with rape and gross indecency in 2006, but died before his trial.
Bedard has since filed a $325,000 lawsuit against the Archdiocese of Quebec and Therrien's estate.
Since going public with her story, Bedard has become the confidante of hundreds of other victims in Quebec and some Atlantic provinces.
"I get calls every day from victims," said Bedard, who runs the Association des victimes de pretres (www.victimesdepretres.org).
She is putting together a list of victims of sexual abuse by priests that has more than 400 names, and she said she's not finished. There are priests or institutions that have dozens of victims, she said, while other cases are unique.
"I'm telling you, and I know what I'm talking about, colleges and boarding schools will soon be exposed because people are finding the courage to talk," Bedard said, adding some of them have already been to the police to press charges.
She noted that two times more men than women have contacted her.
As allegations of coverup or failure to adequately deal with priests who molested or raped children in their charge surface in Ireland, Europe, the United States and Canada, Bedard says the Canadian Catholic Church and the Vatican should break the code of silence.
"What happened elsewhere in the world happened here as well. It was universal. The church's first priority has always been to preserve the integrity of the institution and the reputation of pedophile priests. What was left for the victims? They were ignored, abandoned or outright dismissed as liars," she said.
"It's unacceptable. It's a shame and now they have to face the music, they can't run away because the evidence is mounting," she said.
The primate of the church in Canada, Quebec City's Cardinal Marc Ouellet, declined an interview to comment on the string of cases of sexual abuse battering the Catholic Church.

And The Eurobeat Goes On
Mackay Musical Comedy Players
December 2018
Magpies Sporting Club
Last night I got to attend the final performance of the Mackay Musical Comedy Players production: And The Eurobeat Goes On, and I walked away not only impressed, but also with a sore face from laughing so much. I've been to and in a lot of MMCP's theatre restaurants in the past so I thought I knew what to expect, but Eurobeat had a format unlike any of the others and because they were in a new venue with a cast that was very different from their typical theatre restaurant line up, it felt like a whole new experience entirely.
Modeled off the Eurovision song contests, Eurobeat is a competition showing several performances from people representing different European countries performing for audience votes via an app. As talented as Eurovision performers always are, there are always those one or two acts that are completely off the wall in the hokey, Japanese Gameshow sense and Eurobeat is almost completely filled with these kind of obscure performances that are delivered with wild, glitzy costumes and crazy back up dancers. I knew that the format of the show was going to be something like that, but I had no idea that the songs featured were going to be random originals written to suit the theme and some of the lyrics had me in absolute stitches, as did the accompanying choreography. The singers featured all have lovely voices under normal circumstances, but musicality was clearly at the bottom of the priority list for this one and I just laughed and laughed as these seasoned performers quite literally let it go for the sake of characterization so that they could screech, swoon and 'schalp' their way through these hilarious routines that presented as parodies of Bjork, Daft Punk and Abba. Obviously there were some lovely solos, (I think everyone collectively heaved a sigh of relief during Marina Duncan, Sue Dalton and Josh Duncan's numbers) but the entire production was about entertainment and that was what we got.
Every single performance had something incredibly special to offer, but the highlights for me personally were Vianne Conroy representing Iceland (who went on to win last night, much to my delight) Andrew Deguara singing about beer while representing a jolly German, and the keyboard number from Lichtenstein that didn't have any singing at all- simply featuring a handful of futuristic characters 'playing' the keyboards, swinging cats for special effects and somehow maintaining straight faces all the while. I was almost on the floor laughing during the song from Reyn and Shein from the UK due to the hilarious filmclip that played behind them and I don't know if that was in the script or something that was made up for the production but it was absolutely brilliant and the perfect parody of any lovey-dovey filmclip there's ever been.
But I have to say, as glittery and blinding as the entire production was, it was the stunning performance of Vicky Bobeldyk who played Boyka, the hostess from Bosnia that really made my night. You hear the words 'Triple Threat' get thrown around a lot in this business but Vicky is a quintet threat because on top of her mad skills as a singer, dancer and an actress, she is strikingly beautiful and a talented director herself, so she always throws 150% of herself into whatever it is she's involved in. Vicky had the only dialogue in the show, and quick changed from one flamboyant outfit to another between acts so that she could introduce each new entrant with aplomb. Her accent and characterization was dead on and there wasn't a single person in the audience that could take their eyes off her- which is saying a lot because sometimes the glare coming off her outfit in the spotlight was borderline painful.
It was an absolutely glittering spectacle from start to finish, delivered flawlessly thanks to the amazing production team including Tonia Beckman, Elaine Power and Tim Philips and they and the whole cast deserved the thunderous applause they got, especilly for the set and stage layout which was again, atypical o anything the MMCP usually does. The backdrops were all technical- a montage of lights and montages set off with just one roaming stage light and it gave the whole show a genuine telescast feeling.
Well done to all involved, because that was an amazing start to the Mackay Musical Comedy Players 2018 season. Make sure you keep your eye out for tickets to Rock Of Ages in May, and The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (which will be directed by Vicky Bobeldyk) next year! #mmcp

Knife in the Water: Cut the Cord
Knife in the Water
Cut the CordLabel: Aspyr
US Release Date: 2007-02-27
UK Release Date: 2003-05-26
Austin's Knife in the Water's latest release is not necessarily a step backwards or forwards for this fine ensemble. It comes off more like a nice side-step. After albums as pleasing as Plays One Sound and Others and Red River, the core trio of vocalist and songwriter Aaron Blount, singer Laura Krause, and pedal steel player Bill McCullough, Knife in the Water open this record with "Village Fireworks". It's a tune that ventures out just a bit more into unknown territory courtesy of a '70s sounding keyboard that is subtly placed in spots. The jazz-like percussion and Radiohead-esque effects are unique for this group, as it sounds like they're performing in traffic in the latter half of the tune. The country tinge is generally non-existent on this song. "This world will float above itself / And sure show it's fucked itself", Blount sings, a couplet that says so much with so little.
"Kill a Tiger" has more of a rock sound, slowly building into an "epic" song the listener assumes. And the overall psychedelic hues and dreamy pop harmonies work for the band. Poppy almost to a fault, the band seems to be branching out more from the slower, dirge-like alt.country sound on previous records. However, they aren't particularly concerned with time restrictions, as this song sails along for just under five minutes. "The Very Air" has a certain Spaghetti Western opening with the guitar riffs only accentuating that notion. It possesses an ample amount of tension that never breaks, although the winding '60s effects tend to diminish the effort.
Knife in the Water move into new ground with the marching, military beat of "Massacre", which has a certain Latin guitar rhythm weaving in and out. Moving into another area of sound, the bridge is much softer and melodic prior to Krause lending her high harmonies. "She doesn't feel as heavy, as she imagined that it would", they sing as the song refers to the late '60s and Vietnam. "Warped Pearls" tends to miss the mark, unfortunately, a tad too orchestrated and highbrow for some tastes. It's the type of song XTC would nail as "cars drink antifreeze". A cello comes off being out of sorts here whereas the pedal steel might work wonders.
The dreamy pop mystique is at an all-time high with "Decoration Day Flood". But what is oddest about the song is how Knife in the Water sound like their earlier albums on this song moreso than at any other point. Slowing things down, Blount's voice never sounded better. The pop meets country for a very rich and melodic lullaby effect. That is, if going to sleep in a flood is your idea of bliss. A catchy effort comes from "Biltmora Children", a creeping ditty that sounds as if Pulp took up residence near the Alamo, having that Brit pop feeling despite being in the heart of Austin, Texas. Without question the sleeper track on this dozen-song album.
Unfortunately, "Lighthouse to the Blind" has the drumbeat that rarely seems to improve a song. Blount again is dark and the guitar work is sparse and sets a dreary mood. The organ in the refrain is too much and the tune is generally not as strong as other songs. Blount lets himself go vocally, which is an asset, but there's basically nothing he can run with. "My Skin Would Cover the Waterfront" sounds like a love song for the maimed and mutilated. Knife in the Water atone for the last miscue on this track, another candidate for the album's highpoint.
"Golden Calf Highway" makes you want to saddle up a horse and go for a nice slow trot into town. Having all the trademarks of a Blue Rodeo campfire tune, the duet Blount and Krause deliver is a gem before some spacey guitar and organ are layered softly atop. The two bonus tracks include a brilliant "Bayonet" that captures early songs on the first album especially. And "Threads if Carbon in Watercolor" might be a wordy title, but is near perfect for Knife in the Water. There is nothing on this album to reduce the band's fan base, but the record might take more than a listen or two to grow on some.

Yesterday, we packed up our bags and headed off to the British Museum in London to wander around the new Shunga exhibit. If you don't know what Shunga is, here's a representative example:
Here's the interesting thing: we couldn't get in. Despite Annie's professional credentials, despite there being only a hint of queue, we were refused. It was too busy.
This is a fantastic thing.
Yes, it was a Saturday and yes, it was the exhibition's first weekend, so it was always going to be popular. But it's fantastic because we didn't expect it to be so popular that we would be turned away.
The reason I'm talking about this instead of doing an exhibition review is for a few of reasons:
1. It's difficult to review an exhibition to which you've been refused access.
2. Being turned away from somewhere is more interesting than being allowed into somewhere.
3. It's more significant than you might expect.
The shunga exhibit being sold out at the British Museum is important, for all of us. I don't think I even need to explain why, so I won't patronise you by doing so. But I'll say this: I'm pretty stunned it was sold out, and very happy too.

35 mm photography has been around a good long time, with the earliest cameras dating to about 1905. The narrow film allowed for "candid" cameras that were much smaller than the large- and medium-format cameras in common use. But the format didn't really take off until 1934 when Kodak first spooled the film into the little metal canister we all know. It dropped right into Kodak's original Retina camera in full daylight. (I have a later Retina camera; see it here.)
Other camera manufacturers quickly adopted this cartridge, but Argus was first to exploit it for everyman when it introduced the A in 1936. A simple camera made of Bakelite plastic, at $12.50 (equivalent to about $203 today) the A wasn't cheap but it wasn't out of reach. Other models based on the A body followed quickly. 1939 brought the A2B, which added an extinction meter to help the photographer set exposure. I was curious about both the A and about extinction meters, so I went shopping for an A2B.
See the extinction meter there, inside the oval area between the viewfinder and the rewind knob? The meter contains a series of gray filters, each one darker than the last. You peer through them, looking for the darkest one that still lets you see light, and then set the aperture and shutter speed according to an index atop the camera. Unfortunately, the filters in my camera were in poor shape, making the meter difficult to use. Notice also the collapsible lens barrel. To take pictures, you twist it and pull it out.
Argus ceased production during World War II, and when production resumed small changes were made across the A line. The easiest way to tell a prewar and postwar A2Bs apart is by checking the fastest shutter speed – it was 1/200 sec before the war, 1/150 sec after. So mine's from after the war, but no later than 1950 when Argus quit making As altogether. It cost $29 in 1945, equivalent to about $365 today. My A2B comes with a coated 50 mm f/4.5 lens and a Wollensak Alphax leaf shutter. It offers two focusing zones: 6 to 18 feet, and 18 feet to infinity. Focusing the A2B is not intuitive. For 6-18 feet, extend the lens barrel and twist it until it locks, with the Argus logo parallel with the camera's face. For greater than 18 feet, twist the extended lens barrel so that it is unlocked.
I understood focusing exactly backwards when I loaded a roll of Fujifilm Neopan 100 Acros into my A2B. Fortunately, my A2B was in a forgiving mood. My photos came out just a little bit soft, with a dreamy quality about them. The softness shows up more when you click through to see these photos larger on Flickr.
I drove over to New Augusta, a community near my home that used to be an independent town, to photograph its church. I shot Sunny 16, but given the A2B's old-style aperture scale I set it between f/18 and f/12.7 and hoped for the best.
This photo of the church's sign and door came out acceptably sharp. I probably forgot to set the lens for close focus, and since I understood focusing backwards it led to the shot being properly focused.
This shot of a cash-advance business in a strip mall came out sharp, too. I was probably standing about 18 feet back, where the lens would be sharp regardless of how it's focused. I'm not often bothered when I'm out using one of my cameras, but seconds after I took this photo the manager stormed out quite upset that I was photographing his storefront. I explained what I was doing, but he remained agitated. He kept interrogating me, so I just walked away.
The A2B doesn't prevent multiple exposures, so after each shot it's a good idea immediately to wind to the next frame. I got three double-exposed shots in a row on this roll. What's strange about it is that I took three shots of my office building, then drove down the road and took three shots of a rest stop on the Monon rail trail, and the first three shots are on the same frames as the last three. I'll never figure out how I did that.
The A2B was a pleasant enough shooter, and I was pleased with the images I got back despite my problems with focus. But for a day of fun shooting with a simple 35 mm camera, I'd reach for my Argus A-Four or my Kodak Pony 135 first because of their improved ergonomics and greater control. Many classic-camera users would disagree, as the A has a bit of a cult following. If you'd like to try an A, they're plentiful on eBay and the wonderful Argus A/A2 Camera Page is an excellent source of information, including a great user's guide that explains all the models and how to use them.

NEW DELHI: Hyundai's Grand i10, the South Korean automaker's popular hatchback has finally broken into the top-four position in the highest selling passenger vehicles, which was held by Maruti Suzuki models for a long period of time.
To understand in a nutshell what is happening in the Indian passenger vehicle segment, consider this. Out of the top ten best selling PVs, nine come from the stable of either Maruti Suzuki or Hyundai.
Grand i10 sold 12,899 units in November 2015 to secure the fourth spot. This is 53.6 percent higher than 8,396 units sold in the same month last year.
It has replaced Maruti Suzuki Swift which has been one of the most popular hatchback in the segment but recently has been losing its base to new entrants.
Alto still continues to rule the passenger vehicle segment by selling 21,995 units last month. However, this is significantly lower than 24,201 units sold in November 2014.
Maruti still holds on to the second and third position with its Dzire and Wagon R models. While Wagon R saw only a marginal rise in its sales, Dzire sold 15,463 units in November to experience a year-on-year growth of 28.6 percent.
Hyundai's premium hatchback Elite i20, despite the festival season, saw a fall in its sales. From 10,552 units sold in November last year, the best-selling Hyundai sold only 10,074 units in November 2015.
This fall in Elite i20 numbers could be directly attributed to Maruti's Baleno which is hot on its heels at seventh spot. Launched in October, Baleno sold a healthy 9,074 units which leads us to believe that Maruti might be getting comfortable in the premium segment.
While Hyundai Eon jumped one spot to eighth in the list by selling 7,154 units, the ninth place was held by Maruti's Celerio which was not there in the last year's list of 10 best selling passenger vehicle.
The only non-Maruti, non-Hyundai vehicle to feature in the list is Mahindra's best selling SUV Bolero. The only SUV in the list sold 6,875 units in November 2015 which is 9 percent more than 6,300 sold last November.

This week our guest is Tom Watson, the King County EcoConsumer. October 24th, (one week from the day this show will air), is the second annual national Food Day. This day, and movement, are gaining steam, thanks to local events around the country and local and national media coverage. Eventually it could be as big as Earth Day.
Food Day is basically about supporting and advocating for healthy, sustainable and affordable food. This is why our King County EcoConsumer program is supporting Food Day and calling attention to food issues. Some of the areas we will touch on include:
-One of the healthiest things people can do related to food is to grow some of their own. I's the best way to take control of your food supply, and growing certain items like salad greens and herbs is easier than many people realize – you can often grow your own even if you live in an apartment.
– You can't grow all your food yourself, so neighborhood farmers markets are an excellent option. They have a great selection of fruits and vegetables, of course, but these days many farmers markets offer a whole range of food products, from meat and seafood to gluten-free pasta and even wine. There are more than 80 farmers markets in western Washington and several markets, such as the University District, Ballard and West Seattle farmers markets in Seattle, are even open year-round now.
– GMO (genetically modified organisms) food is another huge issue right now. There is a referendum on the ballot in California, for the Nov. 6 election, that would require that all genetically-modified foods be labeled. This would have significant national implications, and the big chemical companies are pouring in massive amounts of money to stop it. Advocates of labeling GMO foods are currently collecting signatures to get it on the ballot in Washington state.
– Preventing food waste is another major issue, especially when we can divert food that would have been wasted to food banks or other programs that help feed hungry people. This one is not so much about personal health as about the health of our society as a whole.
So tune in on Wednesday at 1pm and find out how to have healthier food in your life!
