Narela is the third mega sub-city project of DDA in the urban extension. As planned the sub-city would be an unique conglomeration of diverse activities – affordable, functional, environmentally sustainable, recreationally adequate and aesthetically pleasing and truly.
The planned destination for Future.
Project Concept
- Total project area of 9866 ha.
- Area for Urban Development is 7365 ha.
- And the rest 2501 ha is planned for green belt.
- The proposed population is planned million-plus.
- The existing railway line has been proposed as the major mass transit movement corridor for the project.
- The residential areas are proposed to be located on both sides of the railway line within a distance of 3-4 Kms.
- An integrated system of green linkages and circulation network will connect residential areas with work centres and various social cultural facilities.
- The Integrated Freight complex (IFC) covering an area of 392 ha accommodates the wholesale trade, district centre, metropolitan transport centre and an ISBT, which form the focal point of the project. The project area also contains Narela Udyog Vihar (247 ha) which is already existing.
- Another major industrial area is proposed at Bawana accommodating 20000 industrial plots.
Land Use
- The land use plan of the sub-city is based within the framework of urban extension plan, its existing and proposed circulation system and the residential density pattern to be followed by the various residential pockets.
- The sub-city is planned with the provision of major specialized activities such as Integrated Freight Complex, Metropolitan Passenger Terminal, including an ISBT, social infrastructure facilities etc.
- A broad land use plan has been evolved by judicious exploitation of the existing landscape elements, physical planning deterrents and environmental considerations of the surrounding vicinity, which can be classified under the following use zones:
|Public & Semi Public facilities
- The sub-city provides housing accommodation to about 2.7 lakh households of all income groups of the society.
- It is proposed to have differential residential density alongwith emphasis on public, co-operative and private sectors.
- Housing typology includes the following:
- Co-operative Group Housing Societies
- DDA Housing (Built up flats/expandable housing)
- Janta Housing
- Institutional Housing for Govt. employees
- Resettlement of squatters
- Plots for alternative allotments/auction.
- The DDA has adopted a new concept called "incremental housing". The concept provides for immediate space for the habitation along with services and allows the individual family to expand the house as and when the need arises for the same. An EWS family which gets initially 21 sq.mts. built up space can expand their houses vertically to get a total floor space of about 50 sq.mts.
- Moreover, to attract the entrepreneurs, business groups, and others (NRIs, etc.), DDA is planning a number of large plotted residential schemes which will act as a value addition component of the sub-city.
- The residential development envisages a series of neighbourhood modules each consisting of 15,000-18,000 population, grouped around a facility corridor/centre of parks, playground, Sr. secondary schools, primary schools and other social amenities.
- The residential neighbourhood is further divided into four residential clusters.
- Each cluster has a system of pedestrian linkages connecting to the facility centers of the neighbourhood.
- Four to five neighbourhoods comprising of 75,000-90,000 population form a residential community with its own centre for economic and socio-cultural activities.
- A large park and the playfield along with community centre forms a nucleus of the community.
- This nucleus is accessible by a system of pedestrian linkages and cycle tracks.
- Each residential community is served by arterial roads of varying widths from 40 mt. to 60 mt.
- It is proposed to have a composite mixture of various socio-economic groups in all the residential communities.
Social Infrastructure
- Narela sub-city is planned with liberal and quality socio-cultural facilities and services which enrich the quality of living.
- Clusters of such facilities are grouped within the facility centers/areas which are identified at 21 locations in varying sizes to cater to the general/specialized need of the public.
- Facilities under health ranges from dispensaries to general hospitals, educational institutes encompass from nursery schools to university campus.
- In addition, community facilities such as telephone exchange, bus depot, fire station, police station, etc. are provided at suitable locations.
- A National Science Park of 4 ha has also been proposed near Kuraini as a major component to strengthen the overall attractiveness of the sub-city.
Open Spaces and Green Linkages
- The overall concept evolves to form a landscape with distinctive visual quality.
- Which fulfils the required recreational functions, helps to maintain ecological balance and imparts a sense of place to the sub-city.
- Attempt is made to explore the potential of existing landscape feature such as natural drainage channels, forest cover/plantation, etc. as well as other topographic assets and make best use to it in an integrated manner.
- Open spaces provide a linkage to the whole development for which a hierarchy has been evolved.
- The distribution of open spaces from the cluster, neighborhood to the community and district level establishes a cohesive interlink between them.
- The circulation system within the sub-city is primarily based on road based transportation system with a rail corridor for intra urban movements.
- The strengthening of the rail network supported by MRTS, would provide mass rapid transit corridor to the sub-city from the mother city.
- A directional rail terminal is proposed to be developed in the Narela Sub-city at Holambi Kalan.
- The basic road network has been planned with a hierarchy of 100 mt., 80 mt., 60mt. and 40 mt. R/W roads.
- The 80 mt. road with either side green belt is connecting the Narela sub-city with Rohini Project area, while the 100 mt. R/W road along with green belt on both sides is linking Dwarka Sub-city through Rohini. As per requirements, 3 bus terminals and 6 bus depots have been planned, which will be developed in a phased manner commensurating with the city growth.
- About 1000 ha land already acquired.
- More than 8000 residential flats of different categories have been constructed.
- About 1000 flats allotted to Delhi Police.
- About 900 plots of different sizes have been developed for alternative allotment/auction.

Register with fancy Kids
The innovative way that Bétta feeds your baby is that it allows them to sit upright and thus avoid any pain and discomfort around their neck and head. This allows your child to enjoy their milk in comfort, with the more natural posture, similar to breastfeeding, helping them to sit comfortably on your lap and minimize the risk of feeling bloated and sickly, as is common with a natural shaped feeder. The unique curve of Bétta bottles are doctor approved, and the milk flows naturally from the tip to your child's mouth; preventing less air bubbles which can induce little burps and splutters. This cross-cut nipple has an 'x' shaped incision on the tip where the milk comes out, when the baby moves their mouth in a chewing motion. Perfect for giving milk or juice, the amount of force from the baby's suckling will impact how much liquid will flow from the bottle.

Delta - Drama
Enigmatic Hungarian drama, filmed mostly on a river delta, where a returning son sets about building a house on land his father owned there. His half-sister Fauna (Orsolya Toth), eager to get away from her mother and her mother's repugnant lover, agrees to help him with the construction. As the work progresses, an incestuous relationship develops between the pair, which soon comes to the attention of the local villagers, causing bitterness and anger to surface.

Press Releases
Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin went on national TV and told Americans of Faith that their religious freedoms exist in church and
Soon after that Tweet and huge national outrage Mayor Annise Parker changed her tune writing:
"We don't need to intrude on matters of faith to have equal rights in Houston, and it was never the intention of the city of Houston to intrude on any matters of faith or to get between a pastor and their parishioners,' Parker said. 'We don't want their sermons, we want the instructions on the petition process. That's always what we wanted and, again, they knew that's what we wanted because that's the subject of the lawsuit."
A Texas county added "In God We Trust" to some of its official correspondence. The motto, which appears on U.S. currency, was printed on the Tarrant County tax assessor's envelopes and next year will be printed on tax statements.
Imagine a post-religious America, an America that no longer advocates for religious freedom, an America that no longer trusts God. Sadly, this bias toward secularism and religious exclusion is rapidly becoming America's reality.
The giant advertising hoardings in the Tennessee cities of Memphis, Nashville, St. Louis and Fort Smith, Arkansas show a mischievous-looking young girl writing her letter to Father Christmas: "Dear Santa, All I want for Christmas is to skip church! I'm too old for fairy tales," she writes.

A few years ago my friend, Katie, wanted to see if she could get her friends to make and donate 100 quilts to kid's charities. All you have to do is make a quilt by a certain date (this year it's September 30, 2014) and donate it to your favorite children's charity. I think this is my third year to participate in this quilt drive. Katie has since passed the leadership to Heather, who blogs at Quilts in The Queue. This huge endeavor has grown thanks to all the generous people who have helped Heather and Katie. You can check out the Flickr group here.
This year I decided to use up some of my charm square packs. One of my favorite, fun, fabric lines has been Lucy's Crab Shack. I thought it would make a good looking baby boy quilt. I used 2 charm packs and arranged them in 9 patch squares, in color order, more or less. The quilt was only about 36" square, so I added a 6 inch border of Double Cloth by Robert Kaufman, bringing the size up to 48" square and making it look even more appropriate for a baby boy. And by the way, I *L*O*V*E* the Double Cloth fabric. A dress, shirt or blouse made out of it would be so comfortable.
For the backing I used a thrifted sheet I have been saving for just the right project. It is navy and aqua plaid on a white background. I tried my hand at orange peel quilting. I have to admit, my rounded quilting lines always seem to have an angle in them. But, I am learning and do think I am getting a little better with each new project and attempt to free motion quilt. The binding is Basketweave in royal blue by Dear Stella.
I am going to donate this quilt to my local chapter of Project Night Night. I just need to buy a stuffed animal and a book to add to the package. It will be delivered this week.
Quilt Stats:
Name: Project Night Night Baby Quilt
Fabric: Lucy's Crab Shack by Sweetwater for Moda
Backing: thrifted sheet
Batting: Warm and White
Binding: Dear Stella BasketWeave
Thread: Pieced and quilted with Aurifil 50 wt. in color #2310
Finished Size after laundering: 45" square

Following this piece of sound advice will save you the money you will now spend on new (used) clothes which is needed to put towards your Texas (yes-why-don't-we-secede-so-the-taxes-and-utilites-can-go-up-even-more) utilities/taxes.
That is all.
(Guilt aside however, I do look a teensy bit forward to the shopping trip... ;)

How to Avoid a Lawn Mower Repair
The wonderful experience of owning a home and a yard comes with many perks and many hidden costs not including a repair for your mower. One of these costs is the need to own a lawnmower, unless your financial status provides you with the opportunity to hire garden professionals to look after your lawn for you. In that case, this article is not for you, but if you do not belong to that category of people and need to buy, operate and repair your own lawn equipment, there are quite a few options out there for you to consider.
You are probably well-aware that you have a lot of different styles to choose from: the classic push mower versus the zero-turn riding one, versus one of those robotic mowers that you can control from a comfortable seat in your living room. Given all these options, you might find the choosing a rather daunting task. Moreover, you probably want one that lasts at least one that will serve you for a year or longer.
Prevention Tips on a Lawn mower Repair
In this article we will explore some tips that will teach you some maintenance tricks for your equipment, so that you can take care of your yard equipment for years without having to turn to seeking professional help. Older models are pretty easy to repair and maintain, but the advances of new technology are making it more and more difficult to keep up. However, together with the lawn mower, the new owner usually receives a manual that can be helpful in learning about techniques that will allow you to keep your equipment in the best of health for years.
The owners manual can provide you with necessary information about maintenance, which you should study carefully. In the maintenance section you will find useful tips on how to replace spark plugs, check your tire pressure, change the oil in your equipment, and other important procedures. There you will also found information about how to maintain your lawn mower during the winter months, when you are not going to be using it. If you follow all the tips you find in the users manual, most likely you will not have to put much effort or money into repairs your mower will keep running for years to come without any problems
However, no matter how careful you are, there comes a time in the life of any machine when a part needs to be replaced or repaired. If you would like to try fixing the problem yourself, you will first have to figure out which part is causing trouble. The parts that tend to wear out the fastest will be the lawn mower belts, chains, and blades. There is not much you can do except replace the part or sharpen it, in the case of a blade. If you do need to purchase a new one, make sure you choose the correct size for your machine. A belt that is not long enough or, on the contrary, much too long, will cause your mower to fail to work correctly.
In case lawn mower repair is needed make sure you keep track of the model & serial numbers of the parts
It is also important to pay attention to the model and the serial numbers on your equipment when purchasing parts. These numbers are important because they will help you figure out for sure whether or not you are buying parts that will fit. You can find them somewhere on your mower, probably on some part of the engine block for push mowers or perhaps underneath the seat, if you own a riding mower. In the worst possible case, or if you do not feel qualified to take care of the problem yourself, you can always take your equipment to one of your local professional repair shops.

When the Thornycroft motor cruiser Irma was taken over by the Royal Navy in 1940, her owner, a Mr. Phillips, was in Madrid. Although she appears on several lists of ships that went to Dunkirk, there are no details of the part she played there.
After the war she was re-named Nottac and spent some time on the Clyde in Scotland. Then, in the '70's, she was used as a houseboat at Swan Island, Twickenham. Jerry Hulbert, who lived aboard, bought Irma from a couple who wanted to sail her to South Africa and fitted her out with all kinds of navigation equipment, an echo sounder and a set of signal flags, but at the last moment realised that a river cruising boat can't be adapted to cross an ocean. So she remained on the Thames until the summer of 2001.
She is now in the care of the Dunkirk Little Ships Restoration Trust at their base in Marchwood and has reverted to her original name of Irma. She is awaiting funds for restoration.
Source: 2, 3, 4, 5, 11 & 19
Updated 19/09/01
I lived on 'Nottac' for a short period in 1983-84, when it was moored at Swan Island Harbour. The owner was a Keith Slaughter, it was in need of restoration and I do not believe that he ever sailed it, although I'm sure that he use to attend the association meetings.
Vince Williams
I knew this boat from my father knowing the owner. He was known as 'Diesel Ron' for obvious reasons! He lived on the boat when moored at Teddington lock.
On one occasion sailing back from Calais we were escorting her when the weather turned terrible, force 8. She started taking on water and lost all power, the Dover lifeboat was called and she was towed to safety. This was around 1971-72.
We lived on this ship at Swan Island harbour from August 1998 to May 2000 and have very fond memories of freezing winters and lovely long summer night on the Thames ! We sold her and I think she was sent down to Southampton awaiting restoration. Can anyone confirm this ?

The SelfDesign Learning Community is among the largest distance/distributed learning schools and personalized learning programs in British Columbia, Canada. Completely funded by the BC Ministry of Education, SelfDesign enables learners to complete K-12 by exploring their interests and taking the lead in their own learning and life. With personalized guidance and ongoing support from BC-certified educators, learning unfolds at home and within local and online communities.
My son Arrian (Ari) is now in his 5th year of living on Bowen Island. Our family moved here when he was three years old and awaiting his diagnosis of Autism.
Back then, Ari had no words and few gestures. He had a very difficult time communicating beyond pulling us around by the hand or screaming in frustration. The recent years of living at a slower pace in a quiet house surrounded by woods have lowered Ari's anxiety significantly. Without the sensory overload of the city, Ari has been able to self-regulate and learn.
Ari enjoys personalized learning at home through SelfDesign, a distributed learning school. He has a support team that includes a Speech/Language Pathologist, an Occupational Therapist, a BC Certified teacher that follows and assesses his learning, an Education Assistant, as well as various other consultants. He is never without one or both parents; we typically teach him one-on-one while his big brother, Alexander, attends a local school.
When Arrian was four he started to present flashcards when he wanted a specific food item such as a banana. We decided to try loading some flashcard apps onto an old iPhone and he took to it straight away. This meant he could tap on the flashcard and it would say the word "banana" out loud for him. This was a major breakthrough in communication for Ari and it was the beginning of something quite amazing. It led to the purchase of an iPad mini loaded up with an AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) app called Proloquo2Go. This was the pivotal point for Ari, giving him access to verbal language.
Discovery of this capacity in himself has brought him great joy. Ari is able to read and spell at his grade level and has an avid interest in expanding his vocabulary. Proloquo2Go updates frequently to keep up with popular culture. It can also be customized so if you need a button you can create it yourself.
Ari wanted to learn how to make his own buttons. He began by replacing some of the preset buttons with his own photos. He replaced the image in his "boy" button with a photo of himself. He gradually personalized and reorganized his AAC until it felt like his own.
We gave him space to build and personalize it and he would come to us for support when he needed help. When he learns something new or explores a new place he will sometimes add a button or two to his words.
Over the summer, even though Ari's technically on his school holiday, he has been working on a project that is very important to him: he has built a folder of all things Bowen. He has explored much of the island with us. He has studied Bowen maps and Google Earth. He spent last year practicing his social skills by visiting Bowen Island businesses in person asking each contact for a business card to add to his collection. He loves Bowen Island and has been very motivated to create a folder of language so he can talk about Bowen. It has evolved some since it's first edition.
Currently, he has things sorted somewhat geographically with some sub-categories. He keeps adding to it and refining it. Some of the photos are ones he has taken himself while exploring and others he has sourced on-line. He hasn't needed or asked for our help with this project at all so, the folder he has made has had no adult input at all. He just loves this place we call home and it's a huge part of his world. He needed to have it represented in his own way.
Access and connection to his community have given Ari a wonderful quality of life on this island. As we celebrate Arrian's 8th birthday this coming week we are again reminded how grateful we all are to be here.

So yesterday my sister was doing a makeup trial, and I was the face of the trial. Haha 🙂
She was trying out a sort of 'look' that she'd been thinking about for some time but couldn't find a name for it. I'll leave that to your imagination.
Didn't take any look shots so I decided that this would be my very first beauty post! Yay!
I particularly liked the pink and gold-ish hues of the eyeshadow.
Forgive the hair, this is me rocking my TWA -Teeny Weeny Afro, or am I an inbetweener? That stage of the length of your hair, it's not exactly long and it isn't exactly short either! Oh well. I don't mind!
PS- This is like day 1 and a half of twist outs. Will do a post on that as soon as I feel like my next round of twist outs will be more bangin' than this one.
Believe this, I've never tried wearing lipstick so I just stick to lip-glosses that have a hint of color, like the one I'm wearing in this post. I always thought my lips were too big for bright colored lipsticks, but I'm ready to bite the bullet and try one! I'm particularly interested in seeing how me rocking a red lip would turn out. Been searching for the perfect red lippy, and once I do, I'll do a post about that as well. Stay tuned!
I'm on a mission to invest in more makeup, stay tuned!
More posts on that later.
Happy mid-week!
Lots of xo's

Author Sally Hardy ('93) more about Sally
Illustrator David Hardy more about David
Designer Emma Borghesi more about Emma
Teddy-grams for Campbell is a children's story book inspired by the Pembroke School Bear Making Programme and based on the adventures of five 'real' Pembroke Bears. The book was commissioned to mark Pembroke School's 40th Anniversary celebrations.
This beautifully written, illustrated and designed story book will be a favourite with children and families, across the generations.
Initially proceeds from the sale of the Book will continue to support the Bear Making Programme and the Pembroke School Indigenous Education Programme, a matter that Campbell Whalley was passionate about.
The Stories Behind the Book
The following provides insight to some of the stories that have inspired this book.
Dusty the Bear
Shoebox of Love
Get Well Soon Gordon
Antarctica - Mawsie
Amelia Bearhardt
Dusty the Bear
Haiti in 2010 was the centre of an extremely destructive earthquake and subsequent flooding. Dr Patrick Duigan, a Pembroke old scholar ('99), was head of the medical team at the hospital in Port-au-Prince at the time. At such a terrible time, support for the good work by Patrick and his team was needed. A gift of 79 bears was made from schools in the outback of SA and Pembroke. Under the supervision of Campbell Whalley (using resources of School of the Air, along with skills of staff, parents and students in schools from Pt Augusta through to Marree) many bears, two camels and several rabbits were created. Pembroke bears were made in the after school sessions for this purpose. The bears were packed ready for shipment to Haiti and transported on a Qantas flight with Patrick to be distributed at Christmas time 2010 to children in an orphanage and the hospital.
Shoebox of Love
Following the devastation of the Bali bombings in 2003, Pembroke jumped on board an initiative of 'Carry for Kids' and donated around 160 shoeboxes, each one tastefully decorated and filled with items for children using the themes of 'something to read, something for school, something for when I am hurt'. There were many gifts and contributions made by the students to fill the shoeboxes destined for children in Bali orphanages. Our very own mini bears were made especially to fit in the shoeboxes. It would have been a wonderful surprise for the recipient when each box was opened.
Get Well Soon Gordon
Apart from supporting the Pembroke community with bears, many more have been given to other people and places as trauma bears. The story of Gordon is a reflection of how sometimes as a group Pembroke students walk in and present their bears to children in hospitals. Several highlights follow from numerous occasions represented in the journals over 27 years.
On one occasion a bear was given to an older teenage boy. He was a leader, was admired for his sporting ability and was a friendly and well respected young man. When in hospital recovering from surgery following a sporting injury a bear was given to him. He showed a sense of emotion that perhaps surprised himself and those who knew him well.
A 4 year old boy was at home helping in the kitchen. He noticed the handle of a saucepan on the stove and reaching up to grab the handle, he pulled the contents over himself. In hospital, his body was covered with a body stocking to assist the healing process of his burns. At the sight of a Pembroke student with a bear, the boy's face lit up and there were squeals of delight at the prospect of his very own bear. This emotional story will always be a memory for the Pembroke students on that day.
While still in recovery after major reconstructive cranio-facial surgery, it is amazing how a young person, at the feel of a cuddly Pembroke bear, will semi consciously wrap an arm around the bear.
Antarctica – Mawsie
There have been many adventurers in the history of Pembroke bears. Three of the most famous, Mawson, Shacks and Bill, went on an adventure to Antarctica with Pembroke staff member Dave Nelson in 1997. The bears sailed as stowaways on the 18 metre yacht and were able to share a teddy bears picnic at the site of Mawson's hut, Cape Dennison, Commonwealth Bay. Much later and upon their return to Australia, complete with a log of their adventure and photos, Mawson, Shacks and Bill were auctioned to raise funds for charity. Each of the bears now reside with very fortunate Pembroke families.
Amelia Bearhardt
Amelia Bearhardt is a very special bear that was given to the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) for the purpose of keeping a log of proceedings. At some future time, the bear complete with photos and a select portion of the log will be raffled with the proceeds being used to support a charity.
Pembroke bears have been made and donated to RFDS and Rescue 1 since the very start of the programme in 1987, with more than 250 bears being made and given away by the students. The bears are distributed as required by the doctors and nurses who fly to destinations for emergency retrievals. Often the situation means there is no time for the patient to collect any belongings so there is a very real need for a bear to offer comfort to the traumatised person.
Recently, the School received a message from a doctor about a young boy who was air lifted by RFDS plane. Included below is a section of the message sent by the doctor.
'I am a doctor at the Women's and Children's Hospital. Yesterday I looked after a little boy who was in pain and very scared. He had just been retrieved from the country by "MedStar Kids" with a life threatening injury and was rushed to theatre to have an urgent operation. Under his arm he had a new teddy bear. I noticed that on the sole of the bear's foot there was the Pembroke logo, and some of the panels looked like school uniform material. I asked his Mum where it had come from and she said that he had been given it along the way, maybe in the RFDS plane. His mother told me that he had been clutching the bear ever since and how much comfort it had brought him. Later, after his surgery when I visited him in ICU the bear was still at his bed side.'

Heroes and Legends at The Kennedy Space Center
The awe-inspiring story of 'Heroes and Legends' along with the Astronaut Hall of Fame adds another dimension to the space program presentation at the Kennedy Space Center, and ensures that the 93 inductees to the Hall of Fame will never be forgotten. The immersive story telling experience explores what it means to be a hero and inspires visitors, culminating in the final exploration of humanity's greatest frontier – space. Visitors get their chance to see the astronaut's journey through his own eyes in this one-of-a-kind immersive experience.
The story of the first astronauts in space is dramatic, but for today's tech-savvy and experience-weary generation the new 'Heroes and Legends' attraction needed create something truly spectacular to make a real connection. This connection also needed to be maintained across the entire visitor complex through seamless integrations.
The answer was in a 4D experience that explores what qualities make a 'hero' – in space or otherwise – and uses touch, sight, sound and movement to reveal what it must have been like for these early astronauts setting off into unknown territories. To create a continually novel guest experience, motion-triggered sensory responses put the visitor in the driving seat in some aspects of the attraction but, in others, the feeling of being part of a group adds another level of understanding about a time which changed expectations about what was possible.
Visitors enter the building and ascend a ramp where the multimedia presentation 'What Is A Hero?" unfolds, showing what makes a hero and covering not just astronauts but other great public figures. A pair of ceiling-mounted Christie DWU851-Q projectors display live-action footage on two asymmetrical widescreens. To complement the live footage, there are diamond shaped tiles around the room featuring graphic images of heroes with supplementary information and models of rockets fill the center of the room. Hidden features are revealed throughout the show, using lighting effects.
Next is 'Through The Eyes Of A Hero', in the 4D multi-sensory theater. At this point, 14 Christie Boxer 4K30 projectors are used to project a star field onto a 220o screen before the show begins. This, along with wind effects, ensure the visitor can experience the sense of real danger and excitement of the first manned space missions. This is accompanied by narration from astronauts of those early days, such as Jim Lovell and Neil Armstrong among others.
At the end of the show, visitors are invited to see what are the nine attributes that make up a hero, through learning pods stationed around 'A Hero Is ….'. Entry to the pods triggers sound and video footage available through a touchscreen. Holographic technology inside the actual Gemini IX-A capsule shows the astronaut Gene Cernan on a space walk outside of the capsule and live footage is also mapped to contour the capsule and reflect off the glass.

This palette is simply GORGEOUS! The packaging is very elegant with a pink and gold lacy design and a mirror inside. The product itself is even better. 12 beautiful, highly pigmented and well blendable eye shadows which in my opinion will suit absolutely all types of skin tone regardless the undertones. It has a few warm and neutral shades making it suitable for everyday usage, although the palette also includes some darker tones ideal for special occasions when you want to rock that smokey eye.
This palette was formulated and designed by the youtuber BubzBeauty, Lindy Tsang.

If you need some ideas about setting up shop then take a few minutes to read this series of articles. Setting up a general woodworking shop to make a variety of items will require certain basic woodworking tools and machines.
Everyone has their own opinion about how to set up a woodworking shop but just about all will agree that the tools we talk about here are pretty much essential.
With the pieces of equipment listed below you can make just about any woodworking item. As you start to lean toward making certain kinds of projects then you'll want to get more specialized equipment.
It really doesn't matter whether you choose used woodworking tools or new ones. Starting out, just buy the best you can afford. Looking ahead, as your shop grows, you'll want to add accessories and upgrade options so your projects will go easier and faster. For now, it's a place to start setting up shop.
|1. Table Saw. . .
A 10" table saw is where a lot of woodworkers start. You can create a lot of different projects with just a basic table saw.
|2. Woodworking Workbench. . .
Whether you decide to buy a workbench or build one yourself your workbench is as impertant as any other piece of equipment that you decide to put in your shop.
|3. Drill Press. . .
The important features to consider here are variable speed and a motor powerful enough that it won't stop when using larger drills. If you get a 1/2" chuck capacity you'll be glad you did. A floor model or bench top model would be a personal preference.
|4. Dust Collector. . .
Most woodworkers put a dust collector on the back burner until they get tired of holding their breath when cutting or everything gets dangerously covered in wood dust. This is one machine that should be on the priority list.
|5. Router Table / Router. . .
The versatility of a router and table may put this one on the top of the list for you. This setup will increase your project capabilities more than any other machine that you would want in your shop.
|6. Planer/Jointer. . .
This machine will pay for itself with the added capability of processing rough or oversize wood. The bonus is being able to start your project with clean straight edges with the jointer feature.
|7. Air Compressor. . .
One of the staples that can be used for other non-woodworking jobs.
|8. Band Saw. . .
The easiest way to cut profiles on a normal scale. It can also be used for resawing and roughing out non-standard parts.
|9. Wood Lathe
This is probably the most fun machine you could put in your shop. Although most woodworkers start with a table saw, there are some that are completely content with the wood lathe being the only machine they have.
|10. Scroll Saw. . .
Another fun machine to run. You can make unlimited patterns and cutouts that you can't with any other machine.
Thanks for visiting Setting Up Shop

I heard that Jack Chick died the other day. You may not know the name, but you're probably familiar with his work. At some point you've probably been given or come across a Chick Tract; a little black and white comic about why you're going to Hell unless you confess that Jesus is your savior. I suppose at it's most basic level, he wasn't wrong, just ignorant.
Unlike most people who disagree with his message, I don't see him as a hateful old fossil but instead someone who is really out of touch with reality; sometimes hilariously so. The message of the gospel he would try to deliver was almost always in the most offensive way possible and I don't mean offensive in the way that the gospel is offensive. I mean offensive in the way that the issues are discussed without actually understanding the issues or the people in the issues themselves. To the reader, this comes across as hate-filled, racist, or just downright laughable. More often than not, it came across as all three.
Conspiracy theories abound in tracts on Roman Catholicism. Satan gives AIDs to Christian rock bands as a punishment for going gay. Dungeons and Dragons teaches you to kill your family. Blacksploitation. No, I'm not making that last one up. Somewhere along the line Jack Chick thought black people might have difficulty relating to his predominately white comics so he made black versions of many of his tracts complete with jive talk. And yes, I'm reasonably sure these tracts came out well after the '70s.
The strange thing is, there's a certain level of honesty to them I can't explain. Not in how they portray the people and issues, but in Jack's worldview. This is why I don't see him as a complete douche (I could be totally wrong here, I don't know the guy) but instead as someone who genuinely thinks he's helping people. And that's kinda tragic because in his misguided attempt at helping people, he's probably done much more harm than good. I imagine that for every person these brought to Jesus, twenty more were driven away.
Sadly, these tracts can still be found everywhere. Well meaning people find clever ways to hand these out. Invariably, my daughter will get at least one trick or treating this year. Those of us who are older will remember finding them in phone booths. I once found one in a case of beer I had purchased at the grocery store. Most recently, I got one in the mail with my health care check from a Baptist church. I speculate that since my health sharing ministry will allow just about any Christian to join, they may have been worried that they might be sending money to a Roman Catholic, because for what other reason would a Christian send a Chick Tract to another Christian.
I believe Jack is in heaven. Not because his theology was right, but because I believe, as misguided as it was, that his faith in Christ was genuine. I believe that his faith was strong and even though misapplied, it still comes down to faith in the one who came down and died for our sins and that his word is true. Could I be wrong? Sure. I didn't know Jack Chick personally. I can only speculate based on what I've read. But I don't think he was intentionally malicious. Just paranoid and out of touch with reality.

This story starts on a Saturday morning when I got a Facebook message from my friend Rob. "We are having a yard sale and there are a ton of old tools" Rob said. So ofcourse I got in my car and headed over there. I found a lot of great old tools but this week we will focus on the Level I found, It's a Stanley No. 104 Level 18" long. This will make a great restoration project I thought…
I made a video of the restoration as well, you can see it here:
As you can see in this first set of pictures the Level needed some help, it was dying…
The top level vial was in good shape but the vertical (plumb) vial was broken and missing. The brass was rusty and really dirty. The wood had lots of cracks in it both on the sides and the ends, those will have to be filled in…. Wait maybe for the ends I can add brass plates to help the cracks from getting bigger as well as making it look nicer too. This is the reason I will call this restoration "Better than the Original"... that is if eveything goes as planned of course.
The first thing to do is disassemble the level, as you can see I was able to get all the parts off, at this point I left the top level in so I could plane the bottom and get it level… later on I realized this was flawed thinking but well I learned.
I started planning all the level on all four sides to get down to bare wood.
At this point I took out the top vial, of course I broke it in the process…Damn! Stop everything, go to Amazon and order new parts…. Damn! I can't find the right size shape of vial, what the hell am I going to do? Ebay to the rescue… I found a listing on Ebay that had the vial I needed and his posting had 2 vials… perfect I thought, 2 that way I have an extra incase I break it again or I can make a new level in the future.
As you can see in the picture the planning of the top got rid of the mortise for the brass plate to protect the vial… that will have to be re-cut into the wood.
Using chisels and a router plane I was able to get the mortise back and in place for the brass plate.
At this point I started filling all the cracks with Timber Mate, my favorite wood filler as you probably know by now. After all the cracks were filled we had a little bit of waiting time… Although we have been having a huge heat wave here and well lets just say it didn't take very long to dry. LOL!
While I was waiting for the wood filler to dry I started cleaning all the brass parts, using rust remover and a wire brush.
Then a little buffing at the grinder… I love the way brass shines.
Next I cut the little brass plates for the edges… Oh boy! did I make a mistake and luckily I didn't get hurt. Basically I was trying to cut the brass on my miter saw, but I didn't think to put a back fence to hold it, I thought that double stick tape to a piece of wood would be enough, but the heat made the glue let go and the piece went flying…. I still haven't found that piece of brass….
I made a little safety video of this that you can see here:
Yikes….. ok don't ever do that!!!! Lets move on.
After finally cutting the pieces I drilled holes and countersunk them so I can attach these little plates to the edges of the level.
As you can see there are oversized but that is what I wanted, so I could sand the brass flush to the wood.
I sanded the brass flush using a large piece of sandpaper glued to my table saw table worked like a charm… I also added small chamfers to all the edges so they would be sharp.
Next I put in the plumb vial and the top and bottom brass discs. Using an acrylic vial will make it much harder to take apart in the future, but then again it probably won't need to be replaced, at least not in my lifetime.
I applied a coat of BLO (Boiled Linseed Oil) and this did not go as well as I had hoped…. the wood took the oil in all different ways… The sides got really dark but the top didn't, the top had a thin strip of sapwood and was so different in color to the sides that it just didn't look very good….Shit! what now?
I used a little Gel Stain in JAVA from General finishes only on the top and the light areas of the sides to get the colors to match better. The great thing about Gel Stain is that you can aplly to just certain areas and it worked great.
Next came a few coats of Shellac and at the end a nice wax buffing. Now for the hard part… how to get the vial attached to the top?
First I was going to need a tool, so I added a little leather lining to these tweezers and I was ready.
I mixed up some Plaster of Paris and using a cheap plastic level under the wood level to tell me if I was putting the vial in level I was able to get it all done. All that was left was to replace the top plate and the project was finished.
Of course this blog post wouldn't be right without some….wait for it…. TOOL PORN!
Thank you.

Welcome back! If you missed Part 1 make sure you jump back! We're kind of in the middle of something…
Reading back over part 1, I want to say that I don't want to give the impression that I'm some sort of stained-glass Christian hero because I stopped listening to gangsta rap (although picturing me as a knight slaying a hydra with the heads of 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre would be pretty cool). I've shared my own experiences to help you identify with what I'm saying because you've probably had these struggles too.
I am still wrestling with this stuff myself and definitely don't always win. I find myself fighting with God far too often so the phrases I'm bringing out actually scare and expose the weakness in me but of course they also expose the desperate need for grace that we all find ourselves when we say yes to Jesus. And I'm pretty sure He does supply.
Speaking of which…
#3 "Love the Lord"
Classic bit of Scripture this. Jesus says that the most important thing God has ever told us to do is love Him with our whole mind, heart and soul and with all of our strength (Luke 10:27, Mark 12:30, Matt 22:37). Wow! This is one of those verses I think that you can hear so much growing up in church that it loses its outrageousness and just becomes something that's nice to do when you can haha!
I don't really want to go too deep in this blog into the ins and outs of what it means to love God with our whole mind, heart and soul (except to say that I don't think I'm doing it) but I would like to
point something out I noticed about strength.
If you were asked to do a physical activity with all of your strength, you'd understand that you were required to do it until you were exhausted right? Either until you were working at maximum capacity or until you had no strength left in you.
If you've ever lifted weights in the gym there comes a point when you're no longer capable of lifting anything more and your muscles max out. This is how you get your muscles to grow bigger and stronger. I think we're on to something with that… Loving the Lord with all our strength leads to an increase in our capacity to love Him.
Is it possible that we often feel weak in our love for God because we never push ourselves past the point of pain? We may scream "We love you and we'll never stop!" at the top of our lungs in a nice, safe, Sunday worship service but what happens to that love on Monday morning…?
Personally I think the words "I love you" should never come as a surprise but rather should confirm the experience someone has of you already in their life because Love is primarily a verb, a "doing" word. It should be like walking up to your employer after working for them for 20 years and saying "I work for you." What's my point? Erm……hang on…… OH YEAH! Telling God that we love Him is not the same as actually loving Him. It's part of it but it's incomplete. Jesus makes it clear that loving God is caring about what He cares about and living lives based on what is important to His heart (John 14:15).
"Telling God that we love Him is not the same as actually loving Him."
Try and think back to a time when you've given of your physical or emotional strength and energy to accomplish something that you knew He had asked you to do that was dear to God's heart and by the time you finished it you were absolutely shattered! (don't feel bad if you can't think of a time like that, just look forward to one!)
Even though you felt like your arms or legs or whatever muscle operates your emotions was about to fall off, I bet you felt His pleasure! While it was going on I bet you were wondering where you were finding the strength! I reckon that's where running and not growing weary comes in.
Several years ago I went on a 2 week mission trip to the Welsh Valleys (shout out to the Revive and Abertillery Squad) and would collapse into bed each night totally spent but my whole being felt like it was being permeated with God's delight for the people who were touched and changed and saved during that time.
Thoughts about "not spreading yourself too thin" creep to mind and of course "it's easy for you to say, you're an energetic young man". Fair enough (although I am pushing 30 this year!) I just think that rationalising passion is like putting a basket on a flame. One of two things may happen. Either the flame will go out altogether or that basket's gonna burn!!
There's something about love that is fierce and untameable while not lacking discipline. And I could do with a bit more of that old time religion. I'm not talking about being foolhardy but I am saying that the foolishness of God is wiser than Man's wisdom (1Cor 1:25) and that we need to get better at discerning the difference.
Loving the Lord with all our strength leads to an increase in our capacity to love Him. Personally I think the words "I love you" should never come as a surprise but rather should confirm the experience someone has of you already in their life because Love is a verb, a "doing" word.
#4 "Pretty much anything Jesus said about how to treat other people…"
Jackie Pullinger, another hero of the faith said that it was still difficult for Jesus to lay His life down even though He spent His whole life practising. But how crazy is that?! He spent His whole life practising! That's how He was able to get away with saying so many things that I find damaging to my own self interest! These things just do not compute with me!! If someone demands your coat, give them your shirt as well?!? (Luke 6:29) You what?? Not even asks humbly and politely. Demands!! How does that make sense Jesus??
How about "love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you??" (Matt 5:44) That's waaay beyond passivity, tolerance and restraint. That's pretty much "Dear Lord, please heal Jonny's knuckles that he just broke on my face, amen."
Then there's that old favourite when someone strikes you on the cheek, offer them the other one also (Luke 6:29). There's probably some hermeneutical gymnastics we could do to try to get around this one but while you're limbering up, why not consider what if Jesus actually meant exactly what He said?
I'll stop there but whether or not you agree with the literal applications of these commands, the heart behind them speaks of a love for God and for people that reminds me a lot of insanity! That voice pipes up "Hey, God doesn't want you to be a doormat, you're the head and not the tail!" "Come on, you're a child of God! You shouldn't be treated this way!"
But this Love says "I won't just be a doormat, I'll be a staircase. If you want, you can walk all over me but I will do everything in my power to make sure that when you're done, you've been blessed, elevated, propelled forward and you've seen something of the image of God and the glory of Jesus Christ." Clearly a life implementing this kind of love requires supernatural power! Where does that power come from? What do we do about the other voice?
Truthfully? I don't know. Everything I've shared with you is from thoughts that I am having and convictions that I'm feeling myself so I'm not going to pretend to have the answers. I'm still on a quest with all of this like everyone else but I'm starting to understand that I am far more able to be intentional about it than I'd like to admit!
I know that I've said practically nothing of the rewards of running hard after God but I think we've got a pretty good grasp of that already. I hope that you can appreciate and maybe even identify with my experience and my very one-sided thinking.
If you feel like I've offended you in any way, great! That's not my intention but a little offense might get you to think about it more. I just want to be honest and move forward with anyone else that wants to. I don't want to rationalise my passion for God because I'd rather err on the side of going overboard for Jesus than staying in the boat and never walking on water with Him, even if it's only for a second.
Final Thoughts
I want to be clear that I believe in being wise about things, I believe in not thrusting ourselves into danger for the sake of it or wiping ourselves out to the point that we can no longer function. The same God who calls for all-out love and holiness is also the One who makes me lie down in green pastures and leads by still waters to restore my soul (Psalm 23). I think that the voice I mentioned at times can be straight from the mouth of God through Godly people but at other times can be immitated by the enemy or our own love of comfort to keep us as individuals or as the Church from entering into a greater level of consecration and seeing a greater manifestation of Christ in our lives.
When we don't know the overshadowing and enveloping love of the Father by intellect and experience we can be tempted to create doctrines and interpret Scripture in a way that will protect us and make us feel safe and secure in case God doesn't, forgetting that the Holy Spirit is our Comforter because our lives are made to be uncomfortable.
I think that we need to learn how to live together in community and how to ask and trust God as our loving Father to set limits for us so that we can go wild in expressing our love for Him and using the gifts He has given us while being conscious of our limitations instead of setting our own boundaries and only living within our finite means of love, grace, energy etc, and ending up cutting ourselves off from having to rely on Him.
For some people reading this, it will sound like utter madness and that's fine. I'm only 29 and I'm pretty sure my thoughts and opinions will change on certain things over time so if what I've said doesn't stir anything in your heart and the Holy Spirit doesn't speak to you, okay. I can't force my convictions on you because I didn't even create them for myself but I pray we'll all come into a greater experience of Christ-likeness and raw life-consuming love for God in our Christianity.
But let me talk to the people who are either stirred, excited or just plain frothing at the mouth while reading this! FAN THAT FLAME!! Sit and think about the excitement of throwing your whole life at Jesus
in whatever way He wants and then pray and ask Him how to do it!! Find people that don't massage your apathy and love of comfort but rip them out of you and stuff your soul full of dynamite!!! BURN BABY BURN!!! Don't allow other people around you to quench your fire!! Honour every person for where they're at in their relationship with God, don't judge them, be gracious to them but don't you dare settle for less than what He's put in your heart!
Press yourself into The Secret Place and ask God to impart His heart to you continually to keep transforming you to be more like Jesus!! Don't give in after 2 weeks when it seems like nothing has changed. Press in!! Ask God to link you with others who are jumping out of the lukewarm bubble bath and putting on their robes of radical righteousness and nail yourself into an authentic, God-hungry, Christ-pursuing, missional, covenant community and stay there!! Our God is an all-consuming fire and you know you want your whole life to burn for Him!!
Man these final thoughts are taking ages!
In the Luke 14 passage Jesus uses the example of a man building a tower to describe what it's like to count the cost of giving our lives to Him. This tells me that after I've made the decision to follow Christ, there is a process I go through (building) in establishing a new life. How long does it take to build a tower? How long is a piece of string? Continually and intentionally building with the Chief Architect is what's important.
Why didn't Jesus say a man building a house? I reckon that this continual building and laying down of bricks (or idols, whatever) should eventually lead to a life that is fortified against negative outside influence and that has a higher and greater perspective of the world than before.
We're all at different stages in this process. Some of us will be laying the foundations of our faith, understanding our new identity in Christ, others will be placing bricks, laying to rest old habits, attitudes and ways of life and some of us are figuring out whether or not we've got the correct change in our pockets to make this decision to follow Christ and start building at all. Maybe you've given up altogether but could be persuaded to start again… Wherever you're at, be honest about where you're at and don't convince yourself that you're further on simply because yours is the tallest tower around you. Every house cat thinks it's a tiger… Remember that His yoke is easy and His burden is light because He supplies the strength to carry it.
I pray that we will fully use the freedom we have been given in Christ to love God and that the Holy Spirit would enable us to pursue Him with unbridled passion like a wild stallion and that the Father would be free to tell us when we're loving too much.
Thanks for reading! If you enjoyed this, share it with some people you want to run with and why not arrange to meet together to talk/pray/do something about it?
You may want to check out "Here Come the Radical Christians"
"Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm, for love is strong as death, jealousy is fierce as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire, the very flame of the LORD. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man offered for love all the wealth of his house, he would be utterly despised."
Song of Solomon 8:6-7 (ESV)
If you read all this way and didn't go listen to Banning, you want to. Trust me. Here he is again!

AsciiOutput with Pipe Delimiter

I know I can connect directly and publish from TM1 to SQL Server, but I just wanted to use the simple method – create a text file and load it up.

Another piece of the puzzle of setting up an AsciiOutput is to define a view and then export that view. Why would you do this?

Meet the pastors
Glen Podd – Senior Pastor
Tell us about yourself
I was born in 1958 in Basseterre, St Kitts, West Indies, as the youngest of six children. My family moved to England when I was two years old. Having built up a life in the UK I became a committed Christian at the age of 19.
For my full biography click here.
Matthew 6:33, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." It was the key verse in my conversion, believing that if I put God first then the rest of my life would fall into place...and it has!
My favourite quote is "keep doing what is right"!
Gill Podd – Senior Pastor's wife
Tell us about yourself
After finishing school I became an office junior for a Solicitors firm, eventually working my way up to become a Secretary for one of the Solicitors. I then moved on to Yorkshire Bank to work in a typing pool.
Although I wasn't brought up in a Christian family I attended Sunday School at Sunshine Corner in Bridge Street, Leeds because the Church would send buses around the estate on a Sunday and a Wednesday. I became a Christian at the age of 14 at an Elim Conference at Clacton. I joined the youth group and served on the youth team for a number of years – here I also met Glen.
One of my favourite verses is Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." It was this verse that was very instrumental in leading Glen and I to Bible College.
Michael Gana – Associate Pastor
Tell us about yourself
Mervyn Tilley – Elder
Tell us about yourself
I was born in Somerset in 1940. At the age of 13 I was saved, through the ministry of Principal George Jeffreys, who was the founder of Elim. The Elim movement became a huge part of my life. I attended the Elim Bible College from 1959-1961, served at several Elim churches around the country and also spent time as an Elim Regional Superintendent for the Metropolitan Region and nine years as a member of Elim's National Leadership Team.
How did you end up in your current role at the church?
What do you love doing in your spare time?
In my spare time I enjoy sports, particularly football and cricket. I also have "green fingers" and love gardening, and like to expand my life experience through reading and travelling.
What is your favourite song, bible verse or quote?
Again, there are so many parts of the Bible that mean a lot to me, but if I had to choose one it would be Isaiah 42:6, "I, the LORD, have called you to demonstrate my righteousness. I will take you by the hand and guard you, and I will give you to my people, Israel, as a symbol of my covenant with them. And you will be a light to guide the nations," the verse I was given at my water baptism at the age of 15.
Babs Sanya – Elder
Tell us about yourself
Although born into a Christian family, my real choice and commitment to live for Christ occurred in the autumn of 1993, when we joined Glory Bible Church and started committing to regular church attendance. I attended bible college, obtaining a diploma in Charismatic Christianity from Green Pastures Christian Ministry. It was around this time that I started serving at Glory Bible Church, Leyton as a deacon, responsible for administration. I've learnt, forgotten and often relearnt many lessons in life; the key one for me is that the trust that we place in God is always justified; it shows our God to be worthy and trustworthy. I love the fact that even when we are unfaithful to Him (and I have been), He remains faithful and patient with us (me); and quite often this show of God's love is quite humbling.
I grew up in Lagos, graduating from the University of Lagos in 1987 with a degree in Zoology. I met my wife Funmi in 1988 during national service (NYSC, which was a year long programme that was mandatory for all university graduates at the time in Nigeria). We were posted to Sokoto State in the Northwestern part of the country. I returned back to the UK in February 1989 and reconnected with Funmi in the UK in the summer of 1989 and subsequently got married in June 1990. We are blessed with four children, Dolapo, Tommy, Femi and Esther, and a mixed breed dog (German Shepherd and something else). It is not a quiet household!
Joy Afoke – Sunday School Superintendent
Tell us about yourself
I grew up in a Catholic household with my mother and stepfather. My parents had divorced when I was three years old. At the age of 14 I went to live with my father, who immediately took me to an Anglican church. This caused a lot of confusion for me and I began to speak with God at an early age for Him to show me His way.
When I was 19 I visited a church that I thought was "the one" because it was "lively" and had a lot of dancing, I was there for about an hour when God sent one of the members of the church to tell me that God said He knew I was searching for Him and He wanted me to know that He was not in that particular church. So, I went back to the Anglican Church, where I stayed until I married my husband Bo.
How did you end up in your current role at the church?
I ended up in my current role because there was a plea for teachers at the church. I had no formal training in teaching children but felt I could make a difference, especially since I had three children and wanted them taught in Sunday School. I have been teaching Sunday School now for about 21 years and have been the Superintendent for about 13 years. I have come to enjoy the role and love to see the children grow in the Lord.
What do you love doing in your spare time?
My favourite verse is Philippians 4:6-7, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God, and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." I feel we worry about so much nowadays, which robs us of peace and ultimately our health. I endeavour to pray about everything and thank God for everything regularly so I can have peace at all times. With this peace I can hear from God clearly and spend my time working for the kingdom of God instead of worrying about all the things going on around me.
It is difficult to choose a favourite song but if pressed it would have to be His Eye is on the Sparrow, as it reminds me that God is always watching over me.

ramblings about life and geo-adventures
About being a woman in a male dominated field of science...
I am the third of four children, the second of three
girls. When we were growing up, our parents encouraged us to
do our very best in anything we wanted to do. They glowed
over every accomplishment and took great relish in helping
us learn about anything that caught our interests. When I
got out into the world, I was astonished to discover that
women weren't supposed to be able to do all sorts of things.
Things that I had been doing all my life and that my mother
had done all her life before me. So, of course, I didn't
believe it!
About science and geoscience education for non-scientists...
One of the things that is becoming more and more clear to
me is that everyone in modern society needs to have a
fundamental understanding of science and technology. Ours is
a technological age and one in which the results of our
technology are fundamentally altering our planet, our only
home. The users of this technology must understand the
consequences of that use.
I have one son, Alyosha Molnar, now grown up and starting
his first real job as an Engineer after graduating with
highest honors from Swarthmore College. (Proud Mother, me?)
He is such a pleasure to me! Indeed, though I've had great
fun and excitement in my career, raising him was by far the
most interesting and exciting and absorbing thing I ever

We're enjoying lots of great produce this summer, but as with all summers, it has had its challenges.
Weeds and pests have taken their usual (but manageable) tolls. We expect some losses from them and we willingly pay that price.
But once again it is the deer that are hurting us the most this year. I wouldn't have expected things to get worse than they were last year, but they have.
This year our deer have expanded their diets to include tomato and pepper plants–plants that I had understood were toxic to deer. Evidently I was wrong about that. Our tomato production has been decimated.
The pepper plants were severely pruned but the verdict is still out on whether they will be productive.
And sadly some enterprising deer jumped our fences and destroyed our spaghetti and butternut squash. Luckily they don't seem to like acorn squash.
They also ate the peas and they've been munching on the watermelons.
And our cover crops? Not happening. They mow down the buckwheat as soon as it starts coming up.
Our production this year will be a fraction of what it should have been. That's a drag.
Hopefully next year we'll come up with a solution.
