Some history of Pearl K. McGown Hookrafters
For those of you who have stumbled upon the website and have no idea of what the National Guild of Pearl K. McGown Rug Hookrafters Inc. is, here is some history for you to consider. The craft of rug hooking goes back as far as the early to mid 1800's (though, some say Ancient Egypt).
It is said that sailors used to make their hook (an instrument for pulling loops through burlap, linen, or cotton backing) by shaping a nail on a stick. These rugs were of very simple naive design-nautical and geometric. Later, rural housewives began the same technique-pulling wool strips through a backing forming a looped pile. Their designs again were naive-household pets and simple flowers. Those rugs were used for warmth on a bed (called bed rugs) as well as brightening a cold dark floor. Professional designers came on the scene during the late 1800's and the craft flourished
Pearl McGown was born February 27, 1891. As a child growing up, she sat on the floor below her mothers hooking frame (supported on the backs of four chairs) feeding woolen strips into her mothers hand, helping with the process. During the late 1920's she began designing and selling rug patterns for the students of Caroline Saunders, a rug hooking teacher in Clinton, Mass. Pearl was also a Legal Secretary for Mrs. Saunders husband. Because of the invention of commercial rug looms, Pearl feared that a waning interest in the craft might eventually doom the art.Pearl began her own pattern business at the age of 39. She worked at the law office all day and returned home at night to work until the wee hours preparing patterns for customers, who by this time were ordering from all over the country (Pearl had over 1000 original designs!). But she couldn't keep up with the orders and so she put her teenage son to work, and his friends, and their friends. But with all the activities that a teenager has it just wasn't enough help. Pearl's sister May joined the crusade, and for a long time printed the patterns her sister created.She decided that since she was selling the patterns, she should also hook some so people could see them completed. Thus more supplies, and frames, and wool. Her closets bulged, she stored boxes under her kitchen table, not an inch to spare in any room. Her biggest obstacle was space!
In 1938 Pearl's first book was published The Dreams Beneath Design. Lots of other big events took place that year too! Pearl's son (Winthrop) got married, her father-in-law retired and was now glad to assist May in printing the patterns, May started helping teachers in the Studio with their choice of patterns, and Pearl realized a need for a graduated swatch of color to bring realism to hooking a flower. For this, Pearl turned to her good friend, Hattie who had a flair for color. Together they dyed swatchettes of every color, trial and error, until they came up with the perfect shades. Yet another room was devoted to these (imagine how beautiful it was to walk into this room full of every imaginable color in the rainbow!).
By 1940, Pearl realized the need for teachers to get together and discuss problems and solutions. It would also be a great avenue to help guide and suggest to those less knowledgeable. Pearl invited teachers to the first group meeting, and encouraged them to bring finished rugs to display. The first Teacher's Annual Exhibit was born. This first meeting (and the following year), was held at the historic Old Colonial Inn, in Concord, Mass. The third year meeting was held in Copley Plaza Hotel, in Boston. Of course, by this time the war was on and there was a gas shortage, so closer to home the meeting was held at the Horticultural Hall, in Worcester, Massachusetts.Pearl also began a newsletter called the LETTER SERVICE. It was for general instruction in the art of shading certain flowers, a leaf, or a detail of a design. But it did more than just that, it also kept the moral of lonely women hopeful, and held together a dedicated group of rug hookers through an awful period in history.
During the war, when burlap was very scarce, ladies would send her their old potato sacks so that she could apply the inked lines for the designs. In 1943 Pearl got a request to volunteer service in teaching the craft under the Arts Skills program of the Red Cross in the Military Hospitals. The thought was to ease the long and lonely hours of the service people by keeping them busy with various types of recreation. Pearl was assisted by 28 women four days a week in a program which kept an average of 140 hookers busy all the time! "So many incidents stand out in my memory from that experience.
One was the cleverness of one patient. He asked for a plain piece of burlap and said he was going to make a valentine for his wife. Asked if he had hooked before, he said: No, but I think I can manage. At first we were skeptical, but after we had provided the various hues he asked for, we watched him take a snapshot from his pocket and sketch a few lines on the burlap from it. The first few loops he awkwardly pulled into the burlap, but he soon caught on. Then gradually we saw something happen to that burlap. A large heart was drawn to form a frame, and the area around it was hooked in red. Within, a face of delicate light tones began to take shape. Dark brown formed the hair. Dark shadows fell upon the neck. Deep blue eyes and subtly shaded lines gave character to the face. A fuchsia lower lip and an orangey upper lip made us gasp! But, lo and behold, when completed and hung upon the opposite wall, every detail was perfect, and the orange of the upper lip became a highlight. We later learned he was a most accomplished photographer.
"One boy made a rug while lying flat upon his back. The frame was suspended over him just high enough so that he could reach the lower part. His technique was perfect! Every loop was pulled in evenly and with great precision." Doctors, with hand injuries, who had themselves been helped through hooking, advised all patients with similar injuries to hook to limber up their muscles. "One teacher even taught a blind boy to hook!" His facial injury was beyond description, so he was always alone and behind a screen. She hooked the outlines of a geometric square which formed a sort of hooked Braille. Then, from a medley of colors, which she placed in certain positions on his frame, he could choose the desired color. "He had beautiful hands! When he left for Valley Forge for face surgery, he was much less lonely than he had been before he started handcraft."
At the end of the war in 1945 Pearl's fears of the craft becoming extinct resurfaced. New teachers, old teachers and everyone in between wanted to hook, but there were few people who knew how. Pearl had a teacher come to her house and conduct classes. That meant that Pearl was busier than ever with people going through her cramped house. With the shortage of building materials, adding on was out of the question. So when the 1850's yellow cottage across the field went up for sale, Pearl knew she had to have it. And have it she did on a wing and a prayer.
After a little bit of fix up and some conversion, her new home provided a studio (also known as the BeeHive), two offices, a classroom, an extremely large workshop, and a barn was converted to a printing shop.The house had such character that Pearl had felt it needed a name. That name came from the executor who sold her the property. Her uncle had originally purchased the farm and named it Rose Cottage fifty years before Pearl bought it. Pearl thought the name was fitting and roses were planted all around the property. And so the name lived on, and everyone knew Pearl's house as Rose Cottage. Now the home, still meticulously well-cared-for and obviously very much loved, is a bed-and-breakfast owned by Michael and Loretta Kittredge.
In 1951, Pearl started the McGown Teachers Workshop. This was to be a workshop of teachers, sharing the ideas and talents with each other in order to perpetuate the craft. Experienced teachers would, over the years, bring in their protégés, who would in time take up the banner and carry it forward. It was a wonderful relationship. Pearl's business truly became her life. Pearl's one son, Winthrop, helped with the business as well. He, although married with his own family, gave up one full day a week for many many years to perforate (prepare the paper pattern for printing) for Pearl. He also did all the accounting and tax work as he was a CPA. In 1966 Pearl's granddaughter, Jane, began to work and travel with Pearl.
In 1970 (Jane at this point had one infant and one toddler) Pearl sold her business to Old Sturbridge Village. This was a very difficult decision for Pearl. She desperately wanted the business to stay in the family but she knew that two babies and a business was not a good combination. Both Pearl and Jane continued to work for Old Sturbridge Village until they sold the business to W. Cushing Co. in 1980. By this time, Jane's children were old enough so that Jane could give more attention to the craft. And so, together Jane and Pearl (at age 89) started Jane McGown Flynn Inc. The entire focus of the new business was the continuation of the McGown Teacher workshops – Northern, North Central, Southern Central, Southern, and Western. Attention to the workshops and rug schools required that Jane be away from home and family for one third of the weekends each year. In 1998, Jane's husband sold his business and retired.
And so, feeling the need not to ever regret having more time with her husband, Jane sold her business. Jane continues to design for the Honey Bee Hive http://rughook.com or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Four Refreshing Summer Mocktail Recipes
Mocktails let you enjoy the refreshing coolness of mixed drinks without the added alcohol found in a traditional cocktail. They are a great addition to summer parties, picnics or just relaxing on the porch. Add luscious summer mocktails to your warm-weather events for a sweet, tangy touch. Serve these pleasing beverages in your favorite cocktail glasses for indoor parties, or fill unbreakable acrylic drinkware for outdoor get-togethers. Who wouldn't want to enjoy a refreshing drink at an elegant al fresco dinner or a simple picnic under the stars?
You can mix up perfect personalized summer mocktails without a formal recipe. Just start with your favorite types of sweet fruit juice, add a mixer that has some zip (like ginger ale). Pour it over crushed ice, into a cocktail shaker or blender for mixing. However, recipes can come in handy because they provide ingredients, preparation and serving ideas that might not come to mind. Get the blender and glasses ready and give these simple, tasty nonalcoholic beverages a try this summer!
1. Fuzzy Berry Punch
This yummy variation of the Fuzzy Navel makes a drink that is sweet, zesty and colorful. Chill all the ingredients before you start and get out the punch bowl. Pour a 2-liter bottle of blackberry ginger ale into the punch bowl, followed by a 12-ounce container of peach nectar, a 12-ounce container of strawberry nectar and 1 quart of orange juice. Gently mix everything with a serving ladle or a large spoon. Sink a 1/2-gallon container of orange sherbet in the punch bowl to keep your Fuzzy Berry Punch properly chilled. For a pretty finishing touch, serve with a large strawberry slice hanging over the edge.
2. Pineapple Zip
Freeze pineapple juice in your ice cube trays a day ahead. Plan on two large juice cubes per glass. Shortly before serving, transfer the juice cubes to your ice bucket or a pretty ceramic canister. Fill each glass about half full of sweet mint tea. Add soda water until the glass is about 3/4 of the way full, then gently drop two pineapple juice ice cubes into each glass. The first sip is a bubbly, lightly sweet mint tea. As the cubes start to melt, the pineapple juice releases its natural tangy flavor into the mocktail.
3. Blueberry-Infused Lemon Strawberry Ice
Freeze lemonade into ice cubes, then pour a cup of unfrozen lemonade into your blender. Put 1/2 cup frozen strawberries into the blender and fill it up the rest of the way with your lemonade ice cubes. Use the low setting on the blender to slowly chop the ice cubes and strawberries to the texture of a smoothie. Add a few extra strawberries for a pulpier mocktail. Pour the icy mixture into a tall glass and drop three or four blueberries on top. Serve this libation with crackers and a tray of cheese or another salty, savory snack of your choice.
4. Zesty Mock-arita:
Relax in your favorite lounge chair with a good book and a Zesty Mock-arita. It looks just like a regular margarita with the signature tang of lemon and lime combined with the sweetness of orange or pineapple juice. If you prefer a flavor with more bite, grapefruit juice makes for an excellent alternative. Pour eight ounces of juice into the blender for each mock-arita you are making. Add a pinch of lime zest and a pinch of lemon zest. Then add 1/4 cup crushed ice. Blend the mixture until the ice is finely crushed and the drink looks slushy. Dip the rim of each glass in regular margarita rimming salt for an authentic touch, and then fill each glass with the icy Zesty Mock-arita.
If relaxing outdoors with your mocktail isn't an option, take a seat at the bar, dining room table or sofa to relax while sipping on your favorite refreshing nonalcoholic beverage.

Joey Logano (R) and car chief Jason Shapiro (Photo: Toyota Motorsports)
By Mike Mulhern
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
Joey Logano may be smooth and cool out there on the track, just like Mark Martin has promised us for so many years.
Heck, the kid, only 18, was within a move or two of beating Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart the last lap of Thursday's 150. And that's something.
Though it's obviously hard to judge at this point in his career, Logano seems to have a little David Pearson in him, a little bit of Silver Fox….rather than Kyle Busch's more animated action.
And it's too early to tell if Busch and Logano can play well together. Plus, the third teammate in the mix is Denny Hamlin, and he's not pleased with his own overall performance the past two seasons and figures he's got to start making things happen.
Could be an interesting spring for chief babysitter J. D. Gibbs here with these guys.
Logano himself may be cool on the track, but he seems to be somewhat intimidated by the media frenzy he's facing.
Like Jeff Gordon says, no one has ever come into this sport with so much hype to have to live up to.
The stretch charge in his 150?
"We came out of nowhere in that one, so that was cool," Logano says.
"I just stayed out of the wrecks, like we needed to, and then got those new tires at the end -- and new tires here are like gold. So we were able to drive it to the front.
"We were digging hard, I was sitting toward the back near the end and was like 'We've got to get up there somehow.'
"The only place I passed a car all day was on the top-side. So I said 'Apparently I've got to be on the top.'
"So no matter what happened, whether I checked up or not, I just stayed in the top lane. And it just started going.
"I was able to get close to it, and then with a last-ditch effort going into turn three (the last lap) I was hoping some guys would go with me. I guess I should have known better on that one."
Well, the guy behind him was Chevy's Jimmie Johnson, probably not the guy to make hand-signals with to try to get a run on his own Hendrick teammates Gordon and Stewart.
But Logano, to his credit, when the others decided just to stay in line and keep what they had, he made a move for it.
To the high side.
Now let's see if he goes low when it's crunch-time in the 500, and throws them all a curve ball.
"It's cool, and I had fun with it…and this is what we needed -- We needed to finish the race, have a good run, and gain respect from these guys by racing them.
"I feel like we accomplished what we needed to."
Actually Logano may have gained more respect than he anticipated: Whether that will help him or hurt him in the 500 – will rivals now work with him in the draft, or fear him enough to hang him out to dry?
So will J. D. Gibbs have his hands full this season keeping Joey Logano, Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin all playing well together? (Photo: Toyota Motorsports)
J. D. Gibbs, who runs Logano's team for his father Joe, was impressed with Logano: "The reality of Daytona is if you haven't been here before, it's difficult.
"It takes years to figure this place out.
"Our goal for him -- just finish.
"If you finish, you've got a shot to run up front."
So how well will Logano be able to work with his two veteran teammates?
"Denny and I are good friends, and we can work together, but we weren't sure how Joey was going to be," Kyle Busch says.
"But Joey is fine.
"He wants to learn, he wants to be better. He'll come around and ask questions.
"That's what he needs to do -- He needs to feel he can come to us any time and pick our brain.
"This is a place where it's hard to learn in your first year. I came here, and I was all over the place. I was hitting the pit wall, the outside wall, driving through everybody.
"My first couple years here I was bouncing off everything."

In most situations, yes. Even some of the qualified leasehold improvements can be depreciated over time, although a shorter time than an actual building. Check with an accountant or tax specialist to get the details on your situation. Mahalo
Business expenses are the cost of conducting a trade or business. These expenses are common costs of doing business, and are usually tax deductible if your business is for-profit. Lease payments fall into this category.
Tom....Yes, in all for-profit corporations the lease payments are usually deductable. In all accounting questions you should verify with a tax accountant deduction questions.Nearly all-reasonable business expenses are deductible in a corporate entity. Some property owners used a corporate entity to shield their real estate investments from personal liability. Used well this can be a solid form of ownership and one can with tax guidance avoid the double taxation that can occur with a corporate entity.Onward and upward… Rob Baird
Yes, generally the lease payments are deductible HOWEVER that is about to change. You will want to bring yourself up to date on this very hot topic. The new FASB rules are set to change all that! There has been quite alot of push back and if this rule change goes through in its current form much of our analysis metrics will have to change as well. A bit too complicated for this format. Google something like: FASB lease accounting new rules.

Try as he might to be a bit more guarded, the rapper—and now singer—is just as candid as ever. Here, he discusses his new music, his favorite show ever (Coachella, of course), and his relationship with Ariana Grande.
Nyong'o, Lupita; Rihanna
What started as a Twitter meme is looking more and more like a viable screen project. What do you get when you put Lupita Nyong'o, Rihanna, Ava Duvernay, and Issa Rae in a room together? We're guessing only good things.
Rodarte; Schouler, Proenza
Both American brands, both announced they were moving their operations to Paris Fashion Week next season. The French seem to have welcomed them openly: Both labels will be guest members of Couture Week this summer, as determined by the notoriously closed ranks of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture.
Williams, Pharrell
The musician and Chanel muse is the latest face of the Gabrielle bag to get his own campaign video. In the clip, Pharrell enters an empty concert hall and starts to bound over roadie cases, scaffolding, and speaker sets, turning the room into his own personal balancing act. Naturally, there's a Gabrielle Chanel bag slung over his shoulder.

Dr. Shaul Shay on the personnel changes in the Egyptian armed forces, as part of President al Sisi's new strategy against terror
In early July 2014, the Egyptian military released a bulletin detailing personnel changes in the armed forces. The 2015 reshuffle of top military officers is an unusual step and a part of President al Sisi's new strategy against terror, which includes structural, operational and personnel changes.
The last reshuffles included the commanders of the main forces that are involved in fighting terrorism in Sinai – the "unified command", Second and Third Field Armies, Military intelligence and the Navy.
On January 31, 2015, President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi chaired a meeting of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF), during which he issued a presidential decree to form a "unified command" for the area east of the Suez Canal and for fighting terrorism. The creation of the new command came after a cluster of violent attacks against security targets in the Sinai Peninsula and two days after a deadly militant attack on security and army positions in El Arish in North Sinai governorate that left at least 30 dead, including army personnel and civilians.
President al Sisi has appointed the former commander of Third Field Army Maj. Gen. Osama Askar as the head of the "Unified Command" and promoted him to rank of lieutenant general. Gen Askar also retained his seat on the SCAF.
Third Field Army - Gen. Askar's former deputy, Muhammad Abdullah, has been appointed commander of Third Field Army, and Tarek Anwar Helal the chief of staff, of the Third Field Army.The Third Army oversees army operations in South Sinai and Suez.
Two months later, Minister of Defense Sedky Sobhy announced another reshuffle of several senior military officers:
Military intelligence - Major General Salah El-Badry, the head of military intelligence, was replaced by Major General Mohamed El-Shahat. The new military intelligence chief, General Mohamed El-Shahat, graduated from the department of infantry and was the head of the Second Field Army. Major General Salah El-Badry was given the title of Assistant to the Minister of Defense.
Second field Army - Major General Nasser El-Assy replaced Major General El-Shahat as the head of the Second Field Army. Major General El-Shahat was nominated as head of the second army in March 2014 (he served about one year in this position).
Major General El-Assy was the Second Field Army's chief of staff. The new head of the Second Field Army is a prominent commander of military operations in North Sinai in the past months.
The second army is stationed along the Suez Canal and in North Sinai. The Second Army has been engaged in a war against militants in Sinai which has intensified since the ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in July 2013.
Navy - Rear Admiral Osama Mounir, former director of the Faculty of the Navy and the navy chief of staff replaced Rear Admiral Osama El-Gendy as the commander of the navy. Rear Admiral Osama El-Gendy was appointed in the same decree as a deputy for the Suez Canal Authority (SCA.) The deputy post of SCA was newly formed for Gendy to occupy, military sources told youm 7. Rear Admiral Ahmed Khaled replaced Rear Admiral Mounir as the navy chief of staff.
Egypt's naval forces are participating in the war against terror along the coastlines of Sinai. The Egyptian navy is undergoing operations in the Red Sea as part of "Operation Resolute Storm" against Yemen's Houthis. Egypt has sent 4 vessels to secure the strategic straits of Bab al Mandab.
Interior Ministry and police - In March 2015, Interior Minister Mohamed Ibrahim was removed from his post as part of a cabinet reshuffle by President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. Ibrahim was replaced by former head of the National Security Agency, Magdy Abdel Ghaffar. Ibrahim was appointed advisor to the Prime Minister on security issues.
In April 2015, Interior Minister Magdy Abdel Ghaffar has reshuffled 22 top officials within the ministry, including several aides and general-directors within the Public Security Sector.
The new formed "unified command" represents a more proactive approach in combating terrorism, with better coordination between intelligence and the ground forces and better synergy of the commandos, paratroopers, rapid deployment forces, mechanized infantry, artillery and the air force.
An Egyptian military source claimed that the reshuffle is "unrelated to any events," but aims to besiege "extremist groups" in North Sinai, and "pump new blood" in the military leadership, and found a new strategy based on intelligence.

What's Hot In PD? Need to I Get A DaTscan Or PET Scan To Confirm My
Each and every day, sufferers come to me for imaging tests, such as computed tomography (CT) scans and X-rays. Sign up for a free weekly newsletter, comprehensive with valuable pet guidelines and income-saving coupons from our certified velociraptor retail partners! The radiopharmaceutical concentrates in certain locations of the body and is detected by the PET scanner.
The scanner or gamma camera will detect the radioactivity emitted by the target area of the patient and convert it to an electrical signal which is then processed by the personal computer. A PET scan image of Alzheimers is capable to show a doctor the biological adjustments in the brain triggered by Alzheimer's disease. It is essential that you lie as nonetheless as attainable even though the scan is getting done.
Depending on which organ or tissue is getting examined, added tests involving other tracers or chemicals may possibly be utilised, which could lengthen the process time. On the next web page we appear at the variations among PET, CT and MRI as effectively as discussing what takes place in the course of a PET scan and the sorts of individuals who must not have them. Its awesome though, the photos that it produces with x-ray, infrared lighting, and all that mumbo-jumbo. Before a PET scan, inform your medical doctor or nurse about all the medicines you take. Just before you leave, the nuclear medicine scientist will tell you when your medical doctor will have the outcomes. The threat related with a radiation dose from a single CT scan is relatively little when compared with the clinical advantage of the process. Drink a lot of fluids after the scan to aid flush the radioactive medication from your physique.
Both MRI scans and CT scans are essential tools employed by a doctor to facilitate correct diagnoses of significant illnesses such as heart illness and cancer. This contrast leaves the patient's technique by means of urine, so staying hydrated soon after a CT scan with IV contrast dye helps flush it out of the program quicker. The researchers correlated imaging final results with subsequent laboratory evaluation of surgical samples. PET is successfully in a position to exclude that cancer has spread elsewhere in the body. A radiologist who has specialized education in PET scans will interpret the pictures, write a report, and provide the outcomes to your doctor. At 1st, 'til your pet gets to know you, he will most probably break skin and/or break a few of your ribs. Meanwhile, a trained specialist will interpret the PET photos and share the information with your medical professional.
Provided their small size, we will just hold an eye on them and recheck a CT scan in three months (NOT A PET SCAN!) Of course, if they are larger, then I'll almost certainly have to get a PET scan (but, if attainable, I will vote for a biopsy alternatively). Before carrying out a PET scan, a radioactive medicine is made in a cyclotron (a variety of machine).

Dan Jacobs: Home
Review of Dan Jacobs CD, "PLAY SONG" by International Trumpet Guild
"Jacobs' musicianship is first-rate and will please even the harshest critic. His playing is highly expressive and covers a wide range of timbres and styles.It is obvious that he approaches every tune on the album with a different expressive quality and tonal characteristic. His flugelhorn playing on Alondra reveals a high level of musicianship, lyricism, and a velvety tone color.
Dan Jacobs is not only a great musician; during Wayne Shorter's One By One, he administers a display of technique that would dazzle the finest players. This reviewer would encourage any jazz aficionado to purchase this recording as soon as possible! (Mark Lynn, instructor of trumpet and wind ensemble, Bellarmine University, Louisville, KY)

Congratulations! You are about to embark on the fun, frustrating, and addictive journey of building a DIY smart home.
Chances are, you already have one or more components of a smart home (i.e. Amazon Echo, Google Home, Sonos Speakers, Hue Lights, Samsung SmartThings, etc.). Getting all of the products to work together can be as frustrating as getting my kids to play together nicely. But when it happens, it can almost be magical. And the good part…Anyone Can Do This!
My first experience building a DIY smart home involved hacking together a bunch of different products. It was great when it worked, but it was very unstable and often caused more headaches than benefits. For example, lights shutting off when you want them to stay on, thermostats making it too hot or cold, false alarms sending me and my wife constant alerts on our phone. Unfortunately, It was NOT the magical experience I expected. However, this is a common theme in the evolution of a smart home.
My smart home today is a different story. My family and I never come home to a dark house or walk into a dark room. My house tells me (literally through a speaker) if the kids left a door open. My house automatically locks the door if someone forgets. My house automatically shuts the blinds when we leave or when it gets dark. My house responds to my voice commands to control the lights, locks, garage door and TV. My house sets the lighting perfectly for relaxing or watching TV. My house automatically turns off the lights if they are not needed.
I like to call the experience "incredible convenience"
I like to call the experience "incredible convenience", but the benefits go well beyond that. Your family if safer and your power bills will be lower. I personally documented a $28.99 monthly savings in my power bill after installing my Alexa compatible thermostat (you can also use a Z-Wave Thermostat or smart air conditioner) and lighting automation. My kids were always leaving the lights on!
I originally used a Nest Thermostat, but now I use an Ecobee Thermostat.
I want to share my ideas and experiences with you. This include the products I recommend (and use), how to setup those products, and how to integrate and build your DIY home automation. Let's begin by starting with the right products.
Your smart home needs a few core products that will form the foundation for everything you create. You want to make sure that these core products will continue to be supported and developed, and that they will have the best available security. For that reason, I highly recommend that you select mainstream products that are used by many people and backed by larger companies.
Budget Note: Your smart home is an investment in convenience, safety and energy savings. We all want to buy everything immediately, but this is not practical for most people. The products listed above are in my recommended buy order based on the benefits you will receive from each one. The Amazon Echo does much more than provide voice control for your smart home, which is why I recommend starting with it first.
With these products, you can start enjoying the magical experience of a smart home in the first week. The first time you turn the lights on with your voice will be a thrilling! I literally laughed out loud with excitement and amazement when I turned on my kitchen lights with just my voice. This list below is just a tiny sample of the limitless DIY smart home automation projects you can build the first weekend you have these products.
Honestly, it is impossible to list all of the DIY home automation projects you can build with just these core devices. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination. In the beginning, you should start with simple projects and then get more creative as you learn. You will find that the simple projects with lighting are the ones that you will get the most value out of on a day to day basis.
My first DIY home automation project was super easy, but it is used every single day by my entire family. When someone walks into my family room / kitchen area, three lights automatically turn on 30 minutes before sunset to 30 minutes after sunset. Conveniently, these same lights automatically turn off if there isn't any motion in the room for 15 minutes. The lights are accents lights and not my primary room lighting. They include two hue lights above my fireplace mantel, one hue bulb in a lamp in the middle of the room, and the under cabinet lights in my kitchen controlled by a SmartThings outlet.
This setup is a perfectly simple, but incredibly useful project. The accents lights are on so you can see, but you aren't blasted with the main room lighting every time you move. I will show you how to setup this project plus many more in the projects area of the website.
It's time for you to jump into this adventure and build your DIY smart home. The benefits are great: "incredible convenience", safety and energy savings. Using the right products and proven setups found on this website will ensure that you build a smart home that works!
I can't wait to see what we build!
Learn more about the core products below.
Let's get started!
P.S. Please leave a comment below to ask a question, help someone else or share your experiences. Thanks!
Husband, father and Smart Home enthusiast. I look forward to discussing Smart Home products and projects with you. I have over 100 connected devices in my home, and I'm excited to share what I have learned to help you build a Smart Home that works!
Stay updated on new smart home projects and products.

In terms of XPO, the Session object represents a cache of the persistent objects that have been instantiated during data manipulations with a data store. A session uses a Data Access Layer (DAL for short) to retrieve the persistent objects from a data store and store them. A session automatically creates a DAL provided that the connection properties (such as the database name, user name and password) have been specified.
By default, XPO uses the MS Access OLEDB provider, assumes that the database has the same name as the application, and it resides in the application folder. If the database does not exist, XPO creates it. These default settings can be accessed and customized via the static properties of the XpoDefault class. You can also create and work with your own Session object(s).
You can also use Unit of Work instead of sessions. When working with sessions you need to save each persistent object individually. While working with Units of Work all the changes made to persistent objects are automatically saved to a data store by making a single method call. This is because it tracks every change to every persistent object.
The connection is alive while a session is active, i.e. until the Session.Disconnect method is explicitly called. Disconnect is implicitly called when a Session object is disposed of.

'Actually, no,' he replies.
'Can you get him for me? I need to speak to him,' she says, running her hands up beyond his beard and into his hair.
'I'm afraid I can't,' breathes the barman, clearly aroused. 'Is there anything I can do?'
'Yes there is. I need you to give him a message,' she continues huskily, popping a couple of fingers into his mouth and allowing him to suck them. 'Tell him,' she says, 'that there is no toilet paper or hand soap in the ladies' toilet.'344

In response to a woman's worries that she might have married the wrong person, marriage therapist Geoff Theurer aptly replied: "I believe we all marry the wrong person when we get married. None of us are who we need to be when we're first married. Our reasons for getting married are often about us.
"We tell ourselves things like, 'He's just like me,' or 'She likes what I like,' or "He's attractive to me." The list goes on with evidence of why this person works for us. We often select someone because they make us feel a certain way. In other words, most of our reasons are self-centered. At some point in the course of marriage, however, our commitment must expand beyond our own narrow self-interest."
This reminds me of President Monson's timeless counsel to "choose your love and love your choice."
For most my marriage I felt like I married the wrong person, and it's never quite felt right to me. What has always felt right is my relationship with God and my career. Even being a mother to my kids feels right. Marriage never has.
There was a time when we were engaged that my dad (who I'm close to and who is a really good man) counseled me to break it off with my husband. I was stubborn and I didn't. I'm getting hung up on that and wondering about what my life could have been like if I had made a different choice.
At some point I know I need to figure out how to want and love the husband and life I have, but I'm not there yet. I know he loves me and he's trying so hard. Talking about this to him would not be productive.

These extreme rainfall trends put a strain on stormwater infrastructure and other surface water conveyance or retention efforts. Given the fact that much of the stormwater infrastructure within the Twin Cities metro was designed to convey surface water based on technical standards and rainfall estimations adopted in 1960, the increasingly short, intense rainfalls present a challenge for communities and for the Metropolitan Council.
The Fourth National Climate Assessment states that precipitation in the Midwest is projected to increase by 30% by the end of this century. Between 1958 and 2012, the Midwest had already experienced a 37% increase in larger rain events of 2.5 inches or greater.
Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) is the regional wastewater treatment provider for the Twin Cities metro area, treating on average 250 million gallons of wastewater from 109 of the region's communities. The regional wastewater collection system consists of 8 wastewater treatment facilities, about 632 miles of interceptor pipe, 7,550 maintenance holes, 216 meters, and 62 lift stations.
To best understand the methods and Council approach employed in creating the localized flooding data layer, please refer to the document entitled Localized Flood Risk Introduction.
The table below provides an overview of potential localized flooding impacts to wastewater assets. Due to the extensive nature of the Metropolitan Council's wastewater system, these system assets are subject to some potential localized flooding impacts. However, the percentage of total assets within a Flood Impact Zone across all wastewater assets is relatively low, with 76.1% of the highest risk assets, maintenance holes, located outside areas of potential risk. For the maintenance holes within hazard areas, 46.3% fall within the Primary Flood Impact Zone, considered the highest category of flood hazard. Nearly half of all at-risk maintenance holes are located within the Primary flood hazard area.
It is important to note that the Table shows systemwide percentages and averages. Asset-based and site-specific analysis (assessment of a certain lift station, for example) should be conducted to clearly identify and prioritize areas of vulnerability and subsequent site-specific strategies to increase resilience of Metropolitan Council systems.
The full Wastewater Chapter describes and maps the vulnerability of each component of the wastewater system, including the methodology for assessing vulnerability by asset, analysis, considerations for planning and response, and strategies for addressing the system vulnerabilities.

Top 10 Diseases that Can be Cured with Visceral Manipulation Therapy
Original form of visceral manipulation therapy takes its roots in ancient China and Tibet, where it had been used for centuries to restore balance in organs and tissues after injuries and traumas. Modern day research and scientific justification for visceral manipulation therapy was carried out by a French doctor and osteopath Jean-Pierre Barral, who currently trains and provides guidance to a number of naturopaths, massage and physical therapists.
Visceral manipulation is a form of holistic manual therapy that helps release tension and provides balance and integrity to organs and tissues that are suppressed due to an illness or as a result of a trauma or injury. Dr. Barral believes that our organs are in a perpetual state of movement and if this movement is inhibited due to a trauma or scar tissue build up, it will destroy the overall balance in our bodies producing pain, inflammation and infection.
Visceral massage can help with a number of health conditions:
1. Depression and stress conditions.
2. Digestive diseases like constipation, acid reflux, nausea and bloating.
3. Pediatric conditions related to newborn colic, sleep and digestion problems.
4. Infertility in men and women.
5. Women gynecological problems like endometriosis, fibroids, bladder incontinence.
6. Menopausal hormonal imbalance.
7. Erectile and prostate dysfunctions.
8. Chronic migraines.
9. Back aches, neck aches and other spinal problems.
10. Post surgery scar tissue disorders; visceral manipulation therapy can be a great alternative to a conventional knee manipulation after a knee replacement surgery.
Another approach to holistic body manipulation is biodynamic craniosacral therapy that enables a therapist to gently palpate your spine, skull and face in order to locate the locked stress and trauma. Once the source is located, the craniosacral therapist works on restoring the proper flow of cerebrospinal fluid to help body heal itself naturally.

Insolvency – security for costs
Phil MeekinView Profile
A recent case ruling has left insolvency practitioners wondering how they are to bring actions in the name of the company.
The courts may make an order for security of the costs if it is satisfied having regard to all of the circumstances of the case. It is just to make an order if the claimant is a company or other body and there is reason to believe it will be able to repay defendant's costs if ordered to do so. Clearly a company in Administration or in Liquidation is unlikely to have a sum of money available to pay into court to satisfy this requirement.
Historically, insolvency practitioners have got round the problem by applying for after the event insurance. This would ordinarily cover the other side's costs if a claim was unsuccessful. The courts will now see an insurance policy as an inadequate form of security. This is because as with any insurance policy, there is no 100% guarantee the insurer will pay out when called upon to do so.
Very often the only route available for the Administrator/Liquidator to collect monies due back to the company is via the court. All too often the insolvency practitioner asks faith with debtors who simply will not pay for no other reason than "the company is bust and it won't be able to chase me". Unfortunately it appears these claims may fall at the first hurdle if the defendant simply asks the security for costs.
There are other ways round this problem such as seeking a fighting fund from creditors. However the likelihood of this happening is remote as creditors will view this as simply throwing good money after bad. Wilson Field has successfully gained sanction from HMRC to fund litigation in certain circumstances. Claims can also be assigned where the Liquidator/Administrator can recover the benefit of the net recovery on a percentage basis.

The Burngreen Welfare Hall in Kilsyth was the venue for the Annual Concert of popular local choir the Burngreen Singers.
Led by musical director Mariot Dalls and accompanied by Margaret Waddell, the choir's performance was met with great enthusiasmfrom the audience who enjoyed a varied programme which featured hymns and spirtituals, show tunes and a medley of songs from the First World War.
Mermbers of the choir shared the role of compere, guiding the auduence through the programme, and John Graham, Willie Muir and Andy Muldoon all performed as soloists.
It was Graham Campbell who took the lead in Mull of Kintyre, while it was Campbell Sturrock who performed the haunting "Were You There?" and the Eriskay Lovel Lilt, much to the delight of the audience.
As a special introduction to the WW1 item, Neil Morgan provided a beautiful Last Post on the bugle.
Guest artists this year were the lively and accomplished Sweet Harmony babrber shop quartetfrm Larbert who entertained the audience with close harmony a capella arrangements of a number of well loved songs.
The Columban Singers Annual Concert concluded the choir's 67th season which saw them also perform in Shieldhill, Falkirk, Airdrie, Garrohill, Condorrat and many other places.
The new season will commence with rehearsals in September when a very warm welcome will be given to new members,
The Columban Singers have been a Kilsyth institution ever since they were first founded in 1949.
Since the 1970s they have held their rehearsals in Kilsyth Academy.

The semester is finally over! Whoop! I had the best semester, challenging, yes but amazing. I had a really nice roommate…who made the four months bearable.
So this post is just basically a welcome back post, due to exams I could not post like I wanted.
This month I'd like to do a lot of flash post- that is very short stories but intriguing definitely. First up is the "THE LIBRARY GUY", should I give a squeak? Errrrrrrr…no lol. That'll be my next post.
One quick thing before I go, in a post on my page some days back (@ayoyinka_) I talked about not being too adamant on a particular method. I use to have the problem of not being flexible, I liked to finish with the method I started while that is not wrong it is most advisable to review your methods if it's not working.
It could be in trying to overcome a habit, or achieving your to-do list, staying consistent on your work-out schedule, consistently posting quality content on a blog (this is me)… and so on
You see changing your method is not giving up on your goal. The goal is the same but the method is different. I hope I've been of help to someone. Oh and before I go that's my hair and it's 5 months old, yayy!…Bye guys
Stay focused
I love you all!
Watch out for my next post

Already a month after its completion, the Porsche 356 No. 1, the first Porsche at all, won its class in a street race in Innsbruck, Austria. In 1951, the Porsche 356 Alu-Coupe achieved the first Le Mans class victory with impressing lap averages of 145 km/h. This time marks the beginning of pure motor sports passion. Porsche lists more than 28.000 race victories in almost every motor sports series worldwide.
Nevertheless, Porsche not only builds sports cars in order to win races, but also in order to gain development know how that might be incorporated into the evolution of production vehicles. For Porsche, customer sports and the drive to innovation rank first.
With the start of the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany in 1990, Porsche realized the idea of an own racing series around the sports car legend 911 thus also strengthening customer sports. In this racing series as well as in the 7 further international Porsche Carrera Cups and the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, Porsche offers absolutely equal opportunities. Teams and race drivers compete under the same technical conditions.
However, Porsche develops race cars and prototypes not only for its own but also for further internationally significant racing series. The highest goal is to win races and to learn for the development of production vehicles. Porsche develops competitive race cars to make Porsche customer teams successful. And Porsche supports its customers at the race track technically and organizationally. Porsche Motorsport brings the myths of the Porsche brand to the race tracks.
With the Porsche works drivers, Porsche Motorsport supports the customer teams with professional drivers for professional race cars and at the same time forwards offspring drivers. Porsche stands for pure motor sports. With many victories and above all the whole fascination of automobile sports.

Porsche stamina in racing has been sustained for 50 years. The first 356 aluminum coupe had hardly left the workshop in the company's former Gmund headquarters in Austria, when Porsche cars began making headlines at national and international events. Today, GT racing enjoys a high priority at the Stuttgart-based company. But sportscars stand proudly in the glorious racing history, too, highlighted by 14 marques and team championships, nine sportscar drivers´ world titles and uncountable victories.
Porsche Motorsport Centre
After a construction time of just one year, the new motorsport centre of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG was completed in July 2006. 10,550 square metres (more than 113,500 square feet) located at Weissach are the crucial prerequisite in ensuring the continued competitiveness of Porsche vehicles in racing.The heart of Porsche Motorsport is made up of four buildings, which are connected via a light and transparent arched-roof construction. The facilities include workshops, race vehicle production, logistics centre and a terminal for trucks. There and in the affiliated office block 210 employees will be working.
The workshop facilities house separate areas for the servicing of Cup and customer race cars, for the RS Spyder prototype, the 911 GT3 RSR as well as for development projects. In the so-called "manufacture", specialists construct limited numbers of racing sports cars and prototypes. Around 20,000 different parts are stored in the logistics site, which for example also delivers for series cars like the 911 GT3 and the 911 GT3 RS. At the terminal up to seven articulated lorries can dock at the same time and be loaded for the delivery to the race tracks.
Already the access road will fascinate motorsport enthusiasts: In the corners are typically cambered kerbs like those found on race circuits, as well as stacks of tyres and brand advertising which lend a real motorsport atmosphere.
