Feather stitches are comprised of interlocking u-shaped loops of thread. This family of stitches is very simple to work, yet produces elaborate, airy and delicate-looking stitches. The simplest forms of the stitch can be used along straight and curved lines in an embroidery pattern or project, while the more elaborate and wider varieties are best used as bands and borders.
Fern stitch is also used to create airy stitches but is worked using groups of straight stitches instead of looped stitches.
01 of 07
Basic Feather Stitch
The feather stitch is a textured stitch that can be used to create open, airy lines of stitching along curved or straight lines. It can be marked on the fabric or worked as a counted stitch. It's one of the most basic and popular embroidery stitches that can be used to create an edging, used as a surface embroidery stitch, or to stitch elements in place on an embroidery project. It is worked using open half-loops of stitching in single or multiple rows.
It can also be used along fabric edges as an edge finish, or to attach appliques, and can be used to create fern fronds, pine boughs, aquatic plants and textured fill lines in an embroidery project.
02 of 07
Double Feather Stitch
In this version of the feather stitch, stitches are worked in left and right facing groups of 3 staggered stitches, forming a more intricate band of stitching that can be used for wide bands and borders. This stitch looks beautiful as a banded strip of embroidery on clothing and table linens. Work the stitch a few inches from the hemmed edge for maximum impact.
03 of 07
Straight Feather Stitch
The straight feather stitch is worked in the same manner as the basic feather stitch show on the previous page, with the exception of the loops lining up. When working the straight feather stitch, the loops spaced one under the other along one side (in this case, aligned to the left), giving a straight appearance on the right or left side.
This stitch looks really pretty when used as an edging for a Redwork embroidery design or to attach appliques.
It also looks really nice worked in two rows, having the stitch facing the opposite directions and the rows spaced an inch or two apart. The area between the two rows can be filled with other embroidery stitches to form a unique stitches band, or use the stitch to tack down two sides of a printed decorative ribbon.
04 of 07
Closed Feather Stitch
The closed feather stitch is worked in the same manner as the basic feather stitch show in Step 1, with the exception of the loops lining up along the side edges, forming a closed edge. When working the closed feather stitch, the entry point of the successive loops is placed in the same spot on the fabric as the exit point of the preceding loops.
This stitch can also be used as a couching stitch to tack down lengths of ribbon.Continue to 5 of 7 below.
05 of 07
Fly Stitch
The fly stitch is similar to the feather stitch in that it uses a single loop of thread tacked in place. The difference is that it forms a single stitch.
Use this stitch as a scattered filling, in engineered rows or bands, or individually. We've seen this stitch used to represent birds in flight in landscape embroideries.
06 of 07
Basic Fern Stitch
The fern stitch is a surface embroidery stitch used to create an open, lacy stitch along a straight or curved line. It's beautiful worked as tree branches, ferns, or seaweed in a project.
Each section of the fern stitch is worked as a group of three straight stitches, all worked into the same ending hole. The groups are stitched repeatedly to make a row or line of textured stitching.
07 of 07
Feathered Chain Stitch
The feathered chain stitch is a decorative hand embroidery stitch that utilizes detached chain stitches arranged in a zig-zag pattern as if working the feather stitch, forming a hybridized stitch.
This highly textured surface embroidery stitch is wider than a standard chain stitch, making it perfect for use in wide bands and rows. It looks beautiful framing an embroidered band on a towel, or when used around the sides of a tablecloth spacing it about 5 inches from the edges.
There are more variations on the basic feather stitch. This stitch can be varied in many ways by spacing the u-shaped loops differently than shown in the above samples, creating stitch bands with straight center lines or straight sides.

Case Study by Russell Shaw, Affiliate Member of RGD
This project was selected as a winner in the For-Profit, Client-Initiated category of RGD's 2013 So(cial) Good Design Awards.
Skylight Farm is a biodiverse, organic vegetable farm located just outside of Atlanta. Everything produced at Skylight Farm is of the highest quality and Certified Naturally Grown. The challenge for this project was to get people in the city – an urban environment where processed food is prevalent but healthy produce alternatives are harder to come by – excited about Skylight Farm's offerings.
Project Background
My initial involvement with the farm came as a result of a good relationship with the farmer, Justin Aiello, prior to him even purchasing the land. Before he got into farming, I did some work with a non-profit organization that he was close to, and when he struck out on his own he called to ask if I could help craft a company image with him for the new venture. He wanted to keep his focus on the agriculture, but realized the importance of having others on board to help with the marketing and promotional responsibilities necessary for starting this kind of business. Running in similar circles, he had already seen and liked some of the work I had done previously and we were able to reach an agreement to move forward fairly quickly.
Design Process
The initial contact for the project came in early January of 2013. I always start new branding projects with a custom questionnaire that I've developed over time to help new companies take an honest look at where they are, where their competitors are and what type of positioning would be most effective in a given market.
Phase 1 of my design process involves a 'listen first' approach. Together with the client, we talked through the questionnaire for a week, eventually settling on a few ideas that I used as a starting point for my research.
The research process I use is based on practices developed over previous brand projects with the help of a marketing professional. Once I understand the client's desired outcome, I look for ways their goals might translate visually. Books like Wheeler's Designing Brand Identity and Millman's Brand Thinking are helpful sources for inspiration and provide great information for forming an effective approach.
The visuals for this project are a modern twist on old farming labels, which are part of the region's rich visual history. The idea was to give a nod to the farming history of the community and show that Skylight Farm is rooted in traditional agricultural practices. Research for this involved studying simple, small local farms and how they would have labeled materials in the past. All of the illustrations were done in a style that replicated what we found in industry magazines from the 1910s, 20s and 30s, which were picked up in thrift stores and vintage shops. The 'modern twist' was introduced in the form of a tweaked Brandon Grotesque typeface.
After the concept is chosen, it usually goes through multiple rounds of revisions. In this case however, after testing with community members and seeing the reactions of different people, the concept the client selected was very well-received and did not require much change - it was more a matter of carrying it across multiple pieces and seeing how it could be applied in different ways.
In tandem with creating the visual identity, another contributor, Brittany Price, was developing fantastic copy that would serve as messaging for some of the materials. The visuals and the messaging wrapped around the same time, which was a treat, making coordination of these elements a lot easier.
The roll-out occurred at the beginning of March, just in time for the beginning of the Farmers' Market season and the time when families usually start signing up for the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program.
Design Concept / Strategy
Dealing primarily in personal interaction, the business needed physical touch-points for the brand to be a priority. This included the booth that would be set up at Farmers' Markets, bags for the CSAs and other materials that people would see and interact with on a regular basis.
It was refreshing to be part of a roll-out that was as organic as the farm itself - taking the assets we had worked on and setting up shop at the city's largest park to sell certified, naturally-grown produce to the community. This made more sense for the product than doing a big launch or pushing out a more aggressive campaign.
A creative solution for encouraging people to connect with the brand was using 100% recyclable seeded paper for the print collateral. This way, each customer is able to replant the paper in their own garden. Whether picking up a business card or receiving a Thank You note from the farm, every customer is able to actively participate in the re-telling of the brand's story by planting the paper.
The goal is to remind people that an understanding of good agricultural practice is not something that should fall by the wayside in the 21st century. The choice to use plantable, post-consumer recyclables helped ensure that, not only was the material created in a sensible way, but it can also live on after its initial use.
Regarding materials, the seed paper was something I remembered seeing several years ago and turned out to be relatively simple to track down. Of course it would be a little tricky to run on press, so I purchased the reams myself and made custom, wooden hand-stamps of all the brand's assets. Everything was stamped and cut in the studio. This obviously added a lot more work to the process, but there was something very rewarding about this type of natural organic farm having its materials made by hand as well. The materials have been a huge hit, and we'll soon have to do a new run of materials at much greater volume to keep up with the great response.
Working with the farm's founder, Justin Aiello, was a great experience. He was involved and attentive, but also trusted me to do my job. And our writer, Brittany, has real talent. It was great to partner with both of them.
The farm's first season after the roll-out last year went very well – the CSA program filled up quickly, some favourite local restaurants began using Skylight Farm as a provider of organic produce for their menus, and the farm got into multiple Farmers' Markets around town. It was also nice to hear from Justin that their booth and identity stood out at the markets – he told me that people were coming up to him and commenting about everything down to the signage, and that he felt like he was selling products under the best brand image at the local market. There has also been good social traffic – they've received coverage on other sites: a great Lifestyle writeup on Southbound Brethren and a PR article on agribusiness from Eberly & Collard, among others. Attention from the design community, like RGD's Social Good Design Awards, has been helpful for the client by helping to grow their followers.
Designer Takeaways
- Keep creative thinking at the forefront of every design project, or, to quote The Standardistas, "The development of a more critical, analytical relation to our subject is both inevitable and necessary. To grow as a discipline and as individual designers, we need to devote ourselves not just to the art of making, but also to the art of thinking." Often times you start by developing something that looks great – and that is a part of good design. But deeper thinking leads to a more robust identity system.
- Offering design that delights – bringing back an element of fun into branding – can be an effective way to change how customers think. Sometimes offering something that is delightful and unique will go farther than a more traditional, serious tone when it comes to reaching audiences and creating a memorable brand.
- Consider the shelf-life of the design you create. In the digital space, our work as designers doesn't leave as much of a footprint as it once did, but when it comes to producing tangible, physical pieces, we should think through what will become of the material after the customer sees it. Think about how the materials can be sensibly produced and also how you might allow for immediate repurposing once the user is finished with it.
Client Takeaways
- Establish trust in the client-designer relationship. The best results will come out of a relationship where the designer believes in the client's goals and the client trusts the designer to represent their business in the most effective way. The relationship should be a trusting partnership, where the designer is more than a hired hand brought on board to churn out logos and designs on your behalf.
- Be open to non-traditional ideas. Keeping an open mind will allow your brand to go further than it would with a 'safe' approach. It brings a more human element to the business and adds personality, which I think is a very refreshing approach that differentiates successful companies in today's marketplace

Aspire Programme
We recognise that all students are individuals and that high achieving students often need some specialist support to help them meet their full potential. As well as working with them in curriculum areas to help them achieve top grades we will also encourage them to extend their studies through the Extended Project Qualification and enrichment activities.
Students will also be invited to attend the Applying to Competitive Course programme (a 20 week course, starting in January) to help them prepare for those much sought after university places. We have strong links with several universities, including Oxford and Cambridge, and we will also help guide them through university admissions tests such as BMAT, UKCAT and LNAT. All students who have GCSE profiles which suggest Oxbridge could be an option will be invited to a meeting to look at their possibilities within the first month of joining College.
We have a good track record of students securing places at top universities with around 20% of our applicants going on to Russell Group universities.
If your son or daughter is one of the many students who want to enhance their personal statement when applying for university or a job, or just want to extend their interests in one of their subjects, then the Extended Project is an excellent challenge for committed students.
The Extended Project gives students the chance to get more deeply involved with a subject that they are interested in, to develop their research skills and writing skills and to maximise their competitive advantage. Students will have the opportunity to apply to do an Extended Project in the second term of the first year.
As a high achieving student, we will be encouraging them to take part in activities within their subject areas designed to help stretch and challenge them. These might include taking part in trips and competitions, joining enrichment classes or attending lectures from specialist speakers. This list is by no means comprehensive but gives a flavour of the types of activities you may be able to get involved in:
- Design & Technology students entering the Young Engineer for Britain
- Maths students taking part in the British Maths Olympiad and the BMO Training Camp
- Physics students taking in the 'Robotics Challenge' or joining the Rocket Science group
- BTEC Science students taking part in the CSI Forensics Day
- Law students competing in the Bar Mock Trial
- English students taking part in the 'Poetry Slam' or publishing their anthology of creative writing
- Music students encouraged and supported to take part in national competitions and auditions such as the BBC Proms Young Composers Competition and the National Youth Jazz Collective Summer School
- Media students competing in the 'Show us your Shorts' film competition
- Law, Sociology and Politics students attending lectures with Baroness Sharp, and the British Army
- Computing students taking part in the British Informatics Olympiad and
- Students from several subject areas attending university based lectures and conferences
- Engineering students taking part in the World Skills competition
Whatever plans your son or daughter might have, we are we are committed to helping them meet their potential and achieve their goals.

The scramble was on. Negotiators from the United States, Canada, and Mexico had until this weekend, when the "Summit of the Americas" began in Peru, to hammer out a revised North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). If the deadline were to pass, no one in these countries would have much idea of what would happen next.
Mexico's economic minister threw negotiators a lifeline this week, saying they now have until May to finalize a deal. But the assurance likely did little to calm the nerves of anxious business leaders across North America. If anything, experts say the fact that NAFTA negotiators are entering their eighth round of talks and still don't agree on the structure of a deal is cause for even more alarm. "Trade deals often take years to come together, and they are trying to jam one through in months, so there is a lot of pressure on all three countries just by the very nature of the timeline," says David Gibbons, a managing principal with Korn Ferry in Canada.
Pushing the deadline back a few weeks is not likely to relieve much pressure. After all, Mexico has a presidential election this summer, while the United States, mired in a separate trade spat with China, has its own mid-term elections looming in November.
Like any bargaining under time pressure, reaching a new deal requires negotiators on all sides to pull off the tricky feat of compromising in a way that makes it appear as if they are giving up less than others. "In every negotiation there is one issue for each side that they cannot walk away without achieving, and the most important thing is to find out what it is for the counterpart and then negotiate around that," says Patricia Helbig, Korn Ferry's managing director for Mexico and Central America. "In the case of NAFTA, what does each country need to come away with so that it looks like a win-win-win has been achieved?"
Experts say that none of the three nations wants to walk away from the treaty, but the situation is volatile enough to compel business leaders to consider that outcome a very real possibility. The stakes are extraordinarily high. Canada, for instance, is the largest importer of US goods, and Mexico exports 75% of the vehicles it produces, mostly to the US. Gibbons says his clients are putting together war rooms and looking at what their strategies would be if trade barriers suddenly went up.
For business leaders, the only outcome worse than one of the countries walking away from the pact is that the pressure to get a new deal done prompts one of them to agree under duress. "If a deal gets signed just to get signed and in a year from now it doesn't feel right, what's to stop any of the countries from reopening discussions again?" Gibbons asks rhetorically. After all, that's pretty much how renegotiations began this time around.

The probability group
Probability theory is the mathematical theory that formalizes randomness. As such, it plays a role in many phenomena of everyday life: spread of epidemics, structure of large networks (biological, computer, social, ...) , thermodynamics, and so on. These models are often motivated by questions in physics, computer science and biology, and provide a fascinating playground for researchers in mathematics. There is also a close and fruitful interplay between probability theory and the other branches of pure and applied mathematics.

The island's banks reopened on Thursday after an almost two-week shutdown. But cash withdrawals are being capped, to prevent people draining their accounts.
President Nicos Anastasiades said on Friday that the financial crisis had been "contained" in the wake of a tough EU bailout deal. He also said that Cyprus has no intention of leaving the European single currency.
But bank depositors are being forced to bear some of the cost of the rescue plan.
"I believe that on the first of April the Troika will come and tell us that this was a joke – and then everything will be fine," said one man in Nicosia.
Anastasiades has also hit out at partners in the 17-nation currency bloc over the bailout deal. He accused them of making "unprecedented demands".

Cerebral biopsy
The PAJUNK® BrainPro cannulas, which have been specially designed for single or repeated extraction of tumorous cerebral tissue, using a stereotaxic frame, convince in function and handling. The cannula tip has a lateral opening for the incorporation of large biopsy material samples – therefore, the tissue cylinder is large enough for the recovery of histology samples. The sealed, closed system also ensures a good vacuum and excellent biopsy material quality. A depth stop allows the puncture depth to be safely determined in advance. BrainPro biopsy sets are designed as an entirely disposable set of instruments, guaranteeing total hygiene and therefore also protection against prion transfers.
PAJUNK® distinguishes between two sets:
BrainPro for the single and Brainpro acc to Merlo for the multiple extraction of cerebral tissue biopsies.
BrainPro acc to Merlo
Positioning and biopsy extraction under frameless stereotaxy procedure
The BrainPro-Access anchoring- and guidance instrument is fi rmly screwed into the calotte of the skull by means of the slightly conical and self-cutting titanium thread. The fastening screw ensures the absolutely slip-proof fi xation of the puncture cannula in the desired orientation (pivoting range 50° in every direction).

The boxing match prop bet between Esfandiari and Hart may have been moved a month further than scheduled, but it still went on - with the underdog amazingly taking home the prize in the end.
Both of them were 39 years old when the prop bet was struck. Kevin Hart only stands at 5 feet 4 inches (according to his Wiki page), whereas Esfandiari's height is around 6 feet tall (there's no official height info for him available online).

Contact WATERGOAT:
Partners on the High Seas, these good folks are doing great things on behalf of our Oceans.
Propelled by blukoin
WATERGOAT Programs/Outreach
We gladly partner with communities, schools, municipalities and hard working environmental groups anywhere in the United States. (A long term WATERGOAT maintenance agreement is always desired). The collected data from ongoing WATERGOAT maintenance is most important as it provides valuable education downstream. With this real-time data, educational efforts and resources can be directed quickly to specific neighborhoods or industrial sectors. Polluted waterways are no longer just an aesthetic concern as they are adversely affecting the health and economic stability of entire regions. Corporate sponsors make it all happen and in return WATERGOAT gives sponsors the ability to reach entirely new demographics with positive environmental branding. Each new location comes with signage, press events and ongoing social media updates. Ready to sail with us?
Contact WATERGOAT:
firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com
Wherever we travel, the 'Trashy Math' stays pretty much the same - and with so many Watergoats reporting, yes ...we are experts. Here's what you can expect to pull out of the local waterway: (Based on 'Items' not weight - totals may vary slightly each month with rain amounts.) As of Nov 2019:
. 56% Plastic Beverage Bottles
. 24% Styrene/Plastic Fountain Cups
. 5% Aluminum Cans
. 13% Glass Bottles, Clothing, Lumber, etc...
. 2% Dreaded Mystery Items!
Where does it all originate from? After many years of Trash-Tracking we can say with certainty that the items are first and foremost disposed of improperly by the consumers. Convenience stores and fast food establishments are where the vast majority of the products are purchased - but It is our belief that once a product is purchased, it then becomes the responsibility of the 'Purchaser' to dispose of container/wrapper properly.
Then there's this, nearly every large metro area has hundreds, if not thousands, of Public Transit / Bus Stops that all sit on top of StormWater drains due to Easement and Zoning issues. Have you ever seen a bus stop that is not covered in trash? The big rains wash all of that debris directly into the always close storm water systems.
May we suggest to all food and beverage companies, please consider utilizing more of the open space on plastic bottles, plastic/foam fountain cups with 'Proper Disposal' messaging! On average, only 1% of container surface space is dedicated to 'Proper Disposal' efforts. Working together, we can change all this 'Trashy Math' quickly!
"Saving The Ocean Starts In Our Neighborhoods!"
"Sea Worthy Sponsors"
This is a free flowing canal 1/2 mile from a central Florida theme park. All of this trash will be prevented from entering big waters because of a singular WATERGOAT, ... 24/7 365
On average, plastic straws account for less than -1% of what a WATERGOAT captures. Plastic bottles/cups and styrene products consistently rank over 70%.
Are plastic bottles and styrene/foam containers the real problem? Once a product is purchased, who is then responsible for proper disposal of these most basic items?
"Saving The Ocean Starts In Our Neighborhood"
WATERGOAT IMPACT: Environmental Ledger. Waterway trash/debris throughout the U.S. has become a direct threat to the environment, health, tourism and regional economic stability. With debris now being captured at over 102 WATERGOAT locations in five states (more to be announced/Fall19) we are in a unique position to provide 'accurate' real-time data to citizens. For the first time ever, costly resources and educational efforts can now be directed to specific industrial sectors or affected micro communities. We are growing fast thanks to generous corporate participants, look for major announcements soon!
WATERGOAT 501c3
Wondering About Our WATERGOAT?
. Whats with that Name? Goats eat every kind of trash, whether it's on land or in a river, goats chomp it up!
. Yes the WATERGOAT works very well but what really makes it special is that it brings neighbors, communities and corporations together in a planet friendly cause. These tools give folks the ability to combat pollution and provide data driven education for surrounding communities and schools. Shoreline cleanups are great but there is no end in sight for those annual Grant consuming efforts - Watergoats prevent never imaginable amounts of raw trash from ever getting close to big waters each and every day!
. The very first WATERGOAT started capturing trash in (2006) St. Pete, Florida - designed by Mark Maksimowicz. It was a complicated contraption with hydraulics, pulleys, cables, zinc plates, stainless grates, expensive coatings and chemical absorbent materials. Not practical for universal acceptance and affordability. What was needed was a simple, yet highly effective, durable device that would be accepted by StormWater departments and government agencies nationwide. Since then we have developed four types of Watergoats for various applications. These devices are available with chemical absorption capabilities and extremely heavy hold-back Port Security requirements.
. The WATERGOAT booms are perfectly suited for streams, lakes, rivers or canals. These trash barriers survive in the harshest conditions and, to date, boast a survival rate of 8 - 10 years. Watergoats for Salt Water applications are readily available but the life-span is drastically reduced to 3 years.
. The WATERGOAT allows 94% continuous water flow rates with structural 1/4" water displacement. Netting/Skirting while offered at two drape-down sizes (8" and 16") stops floatables without rigid form, vertical chains hang at intermittent spaces to keep form and aid with organic matter gathering. Netting is never allowed to reach river, lake or pond bottom. Netting is wildlife/marinelife friendly and would never be installed where access or egress for creatures would become a challenge. (NETTING/NAVIGABLE WATERS) The WATERGOAT should never be installed (spanning) across a canal or river where motorized boats will traverse. Motorless canoes, kayaks or jon Boats easily roll over a WATERGOAT.)
. In most applications, a WATERGOAT attaches easily to 'StormWater Outfalls' within an hour. The device either attaches to a head-wall or raises and lowers on earth anchors aka spuds that are driven into the high water level on top of ridging embankment. This allows the WATERGOAT to rise and lower with rapidly fluctuating water levels. One side of a WATERGOAT cable is left unsecured so it is able to break free, avoiding total asset loss during catastrophic flooding events.
. Sizing - no matter the application or size, a WATERGOAT will always need to achieve or assume a 'Crescent Shape'. This applies both to spanning canals and rivers or attaching to StormWater Outfalls. There is engineering involved and reasons for the applied formulas. WATERGOAT is available in every size - the longest so far at 110' - but at some point maintenance becomes a concern. Maintenance is always performed from the safety of embankments and tethered cables are provided to pull the device to the shoreline.

The Hayne Plane Takes Off All The Way To The Investment Bank!
Following on from last week's announcement that Jarryd Hayne had signed a mega deal with US sportswear company Under Armour comes news over the weekend that he has inked a six-figure deal with an Aussie investment firm too.
Fairfax Media is reporting the league-convert has signed a four-year deal with Paradice Investments – a Sydney-based boutique funds management business.
What Hayne will be paid has not been disclosed, however, the CEO of the company, David Paradice, is reportedly captivated by Hayne's journey form the NRL to the NFL.
"I was about to hop on a plane at Melbourne airport when I caught Jarryd Hayne talking about his departure from the NRL – I heard him say that the only reason he played footy was to buy his mum a house," he told Fairfax.
"Now I like rugby league and I follow it but I don't have a team – I instantly thought I liked this kid and I liked what he was about. I got on the plane and Alan Jones was on there.
"I approached him and asked him if he knew Jarryd – he said he did and he put me in touch with Wayne Beavis, his agent. I ended up having a meeting with Wayne and Jarryd when people were questioning why he'd do it. I wanted to make sure that Jarryd wasn't the kind of kid who was going to spend the money on booze or put it up his nose – I came away so impressed with him and I knew then that I wanted to back him – especially as people were doubting him.
"I see this story as something like the America's Cup story when we won with Australia II – it's got that us-against-the-world feel. I always believe that determination can get you anywhere – and it overrides ability."
Paradice said he eventually had a meeting with Hayne in San Francisco – home to Hayne's new team the 49ers.
"We talked about the tax system in America and he asked plenty of questions and he really got it … he was just impressive. I thought we'd give the deal a trial run when he came back to Australia when he had his foot injury – I got a dozen clients together for a dinner at Spice Temple and they just loved hearing from him.
"We didn't sign a deal and as the hype started to get out of control I said to Wayne if the time had past and he had other things rolling in I understood – but Wayne was good to his word and we did a deal."

"Click here to start your blog," it says on the home page. As if to say, "Hey, it's easy! Anyone can do it."
During the journey of setting up l'Esprit de la Côte, my own blog identity, I was struck by similarities with childbirth. "With what?!" you say incredulously. Yes, with childbirth. And the idea gradually hatched into this, beginning with….
Family Planning – Many of us skip this step, in our eagerness to progress to step 2 ( 🙂 ), but there are a few meticulous souls who consider whether they have the constitution and commitment to bring a child into the world. After all, there's more to it than the fun of conception or the satisfaction of holding that newborn in your arms. The care and feeding of this new little being is no small matter – are there enough ideas to produce posts for more than a month, do I want to deal with the occasional discord that seems to arise among "family members"? (That in itself was almost enough to discourage me.) And, am I willing to go through what I now recognize as the excruciating process of birthing a blog? On the plus side, there is the encouragement of friends and relatives – "Hey, you've really got something to say," and "You're not getting any younger, you know."
What kind of family do you want to have? From the How to Blog guidelines: "Pick one area in which you're proficient and make your blog about that single topic." Ha! I want to talk about three different areas, and I'll be damned if I'm going to go through this process three times. No, this will be an only child – with multiple personalities.
Conception – So you've given yourself the go-ahead to move forward with a life-changing undertaking. Conception seems like it should be the most enjoyable step of all, right? But I went blank on this. No recollection of that act. Maybe it's just asexual reproduction. You know, like liverworts and slime mold. But surely this consummate creative act involves, well, consummation. So who is the partner, the co-creator? Those of you more experienced writers are already answering this with a gleam in your eye, but my "light bulb" moment took a while. ……….Aha! Just one word – muse. This raises all sorts of delicious possibilities, doesn't it? So who is my muse, when did this delectable act of creation take place, and why the hell don't I remember anything about it?!
Gestation – Next comes the 9 month process when cells divide, organs develop, and the little being takes shape. In the warmth of the creative womb, post ideas begin to evolve, clever turns of phrase pop into your head, and the framework of the whole thing begins to materialize. These begin more and more to occupy your thoughts throughout the day and to inhabit those increasing sleepless nights. They kick the breath out of you, roll around in your gut, and even hiccup as a particularly pungent idea begins to percolate. I don't remember the exact timing, but I think my blog gestation period was somewhere on the order of 5-6 months. At least. Yes, really.
Naming is also requisite during this time. You want your offspring to reflect you, your expectations, etc., but not be too pretentious, too random, or too obvious – still hanging on to some degree of anonymity (in the case of the blog, anyway). So l'Esprit de la Côte – how pretentious, random, and obvious (at least to those who know me) can you get? Well, I like it.
And the passwords! I hate coming up with passwords. I takes me forever to think of one, and then the password troll tells me it's not strong enough. I have to start all over or, worse yet, try to retrofit my original offering. I'm convinced that if passwords had been required for the delivery of my three children, the poor dears would never have seen the light of day.
Labor and Delivery – There comes a time when nature sets off the birthing process, and you're at its mercy. OK, not really true with blog birthing, but once you've made it past names, passwords, and design, you're kind of committed. So those months of gestation and creation will finally pay off.
Using notes – yes, I actually wrote a lot of my structure, subject areas, etc., in a journal – I start to set up pages. One for each of the three major topics I want to include, plus one About page, and one page explaining why I don't want anyone to know who I am. OK, that'll work. Then I can post to each of the three areas. If someone wants to only read about Richard Armitage (and who could blame them?), they'd only need to go to that page. But wait! What do you mean the pages are static, and you only post on the home page? Dang! All that planning for naught? Or I have to retrofit all of this to make it work? I'm not sure what the parallel is to real labor here, except maybe the pain, or at least mental anguish.
Let's see, my longest actual childbirth labor was 21 hours, and my little Esprit took about 5 days from the first twinge of contractions to finally holding the little one in my arms. (OK, overdramatization here!)
Post-Partum – Even after such a trying delivery, there is some sense of euphoria once it's all over, and you look into your newborn's eyes. You gaze lovingly at your muse and say, "See what a beautiful Esprit we've created?" (More melodrama, sorry!)
Once you return home and attempt to return to some semblance of real life, you're constantly walking by the nursery door to make sure the little one is still breathing. Let's see, how many times did you check the stats today? 2 visitors; 6 views. The little chest still rises and falls.
For a while you delight in your newborn, finally learning how to post and add photos (you hope) legally. I remember those first few weeks with a newborn child: The three of you in your own idyllic private world. Then someone comes to visit – or in this case submits a comment. Yikes! People are actually reading and responding to this? I'm exposing to the rest of the world parts of me that have never been expressed, and they're taking it in. This vulnerable little thing is subject to the scrutiny of the blogosphere? What have I done? So begins the real work of parenting.
What next? Luckily, more experienced "parents" are understanding and supportive as you bumble your way through the first few days (or weeks). They smile with amusement, perhaps recalling their own days as a young parent, and patiently point you in the right direction. (Thanks to all of you who helped and are still helping.)
Even now I like to peek into the crib at her sometimes, looking through her pages. As a new mama, I'm allowed that, aren't I? After all, she's barely a month old. I know she's a very simple little thing – not a lot of graphics, no gifs, not many widgets, but I think she's pretty. And my muse, whoever he is, must be very fine indeed, and, I'm sure, as proud as I am to have accomplished this profound act of creation.
So, what's next? Potty training?

Question: Is ingesting lead through food or water toxic or lethal?
Short answer: Toxic, yes. Lethal, possibly.
Long answer: Lead poisoning can occur by inhaling lead or ingesting it. Inhalation toxicity occurs mostly in adults working in or living near factories (batteries, ceramic glazes,ammunitions, pigments). Adults might consume lead via moonshine (home distilled alcohol), eating off ceramics that contain lead glazes, or certain Aryuvedic or home remedies. Long term toxicity definitely imparts a higher mortality risk.
A classic story of lead poisoning occurs in children who would nibble the paint chips off older houses painted with lead-containing paint that went unregulated until 1977. Also, right now 89% of the bridges in the U.S. are still covered in lead-based paint. So don't lick that bridge.
If you get a lot of lead toxicity in a short period of time, you'd have headaches, muscle and joint aches, decreased appetite and libido, decreased concentration, and kidney disease.
Now if someone had been getting lead poisoning over a longer period of time, they might have high blood pressure, fatigue and lightheadedness, dementia, anxiety and phobias, and hostile behavior.

JUDGMENT of Ms. Justice Reynolds delivered the 28th day of November, 2016
1. This matter comes before the Court by way of case stated, the matter having been referred by the Appeal Commissioner. The question for the Court to determine is as follows:
3. By way of background, the NPPR was introduced to go towards funding local authority services. An annual charge of €200 per property applied from 2009 to 2013 in respect of residential property that was not the taxpayer's only or main residence in those years. The charge was collected by the local authority and retained by the local authority for its use.
4. The Local Government (Charges) Act, 2009 provides that "charge" has the meaning assigned to it by s. 3(1) and (2). The section provides as follows:
(2) A person who, on 31 March (in this section also referred to as the "liability date") of each year subsequent to the year 2009, is the owner of a residential property shall be liable to pay the sum (in this Act also referred to as a "charge") specified in subsection (3) to the relevant local authority."
(a) the amount of any rent repayable by the person chargeable in respect of the premises or in respect of part of the premises;
(b) any sums borne by the person chargeable –
(ii) in any other case, relating to and constituting an expense of the transaction or transactions under which the rents or receipts were received,
7. The hearing proceeded before the Appeal Commissioner on 9th May, 2013 and a written determination issued on 21st October, 2013 wherein the Commissioner concluded as follows:
The respondent's case
9. The respondent argues that the word "charge" is no less generic than the word "rate" and if anything is wider in its definition. It is submitted that the word "rate" is clearly used in s. 97(2) of the Tax Consolidation Act, 1997 to capture any local authority charge.
10. Further it is argued that there are important taxation principles to be borne in mind when considering the NPPR and whether or not it should be allowed as a deductable expense. Firstly the respondent refers to Maguire in "Judge's Income Tax 2016" at para. 1.405 as follows:
The law
11. There is no definition of a "rate" in the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997.
12. Under current legislation, the only "rate levied by a local authority" applies solely to commercial premises, the levying and collection of which is governed by the Valuation Acts and the Local Government Act, 2001 (as amended).
13. Because the methods by which a local authority rate such as commercial rates and the NPPR charge are fixed are so distinguishable, they are not interchangeable terms in legislation in either meaning or effect.
14. Clearly the onus rests on the respondent to establish that he is entitled to relief claimed pursuant to s. 97 (2) of the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997.
15. There is no dispute on the facts before the Court and therefore the only issue to be determined is whether the Appeal Commissioner adopted a correct interpretation of the provisions of s. 97 (2) of the Act.
16. It is clear from the legislation underpinning the NPPR that the charge is constructed in a way expressly designed to ensure that the revenue achieved is attributable entirely to the local authority. It mandates that the collected funds are steered in one direction only – locally and away from central government. To conclude in these circumstances that the charge is in reality a national one, as contended by the appellants, would be contrived and artificial and contrary to the intent of the statute (namely the Local Government (Charges) Act, 2009). The legislature is the architect of a framework specifically engineered to ensure the resulting revenue stream flows directly into the coffers of the local authority. If anything, central government is deliberately bypassed to allow local authorities to be the collectors of the generated proceeds and are indeed empowered to prosecute defaulters. The government's involvement is effectively to design and sign off on a system which takes it out of the loop and distances itself from what to all intents and purposes is a tax or charge levied by the local authority.
17. Where there is no definition of the word "rate" or "levy" in the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997 the Court must look to the ordinary meaning of the phrase "any rate levied by a local authority". Clearly the use of the word "any" suggests that the provision was not limited to a particular category of a rate but was providing prospectively for rates which might be contemplated by the legislature at some point in the future.
18. In interpreting the provisions of the statute, the Court is guided by the principles set down in the Inspector of Taxes v. Kiernan [1981] 1 I.R. 117. Clearly this is a legislative provision directed at the public at large and therefore the phrase "any rate levied by a local authority" must be given its "ordinary or colloquial meaning". The test to be applied is that which "an ordinary member of the public would intend it to have when using it ordinarily". I am satisfied that ordinary or colloquial meaning includes the NPPR charge.
19. In the circumstances, I must answer the question in the affirmative.

I recently returned from exploring parts of Morgantown and Elkins, West Virginia, on my Salsa cyclocross bike. The below photos are shots from several rails-to-trails and state parks we explored.
Category: Cycling
C&O Canal Biking: Sharpsburg Area
Vacation Week in Review
So, you may have noticed that I've been oddly silent this week. Well, there's a very good reason for that – Vacation!! Whoo hoo!!
I managed to find a backwoods spot where there is no cell service in the town (as least my provider has no towers in the area). That was not a bad thing at all. I didn't miss not being able to make phone calls. Now, I shouldn't make it sound like I was completely disconnected. The B&B where I stayed had WiFi so I did manage to check social media and text.
Are you ready for the Review??
Monday: I arrived in Marlinton, West Virginia. I quickly learned there were basically 2 restaurants in town (not counting Dairy Queen). I also learned that the local IGA grocery store was poorly stocked and expensive – try $2.59 for a QUART of milk. I explored the Greenbrier River Trail on foot and saw lots of wildlife.
Tuesday: Cycling! The ride was just over 25 miles from Cass back to Marlinton. The rail trail was in good shape and Mother Nature sprinkled some rain, but thankfully no thunderstorms or heavy downpours.
Wednesday: More riding. This time almost 33 miles. There was some backtracking involved to ride through the Droop Mountain tunnel, but all in all it was a good day. The trail wasn't crowded either day, and the scenery was fabulous!
Thursday: Time to head home, but first . . . a stop at Beartown State Park to see the awesome rock formations, then a trip to the Cranberry Glades to see the bogs, and finally a hike to the Falls of Hills Creek (the thunderstorms must not have hit this area as the falls weren't as impressive as I expected).
Friday: Laundry and recovery!! Until the evening when I ran a local 5K. I have to admit that I had an awesome race. I really pushed myself. I've never been a fast runner, but I'm trying now that my knee won't allow me to tackle half marathons. My first mile in this race was at an 8:20 pace. I ended up finishing in 27:21. Almost to my goal of a sub 27 minute 5K.
So, in between all the exercise, I have been reading. I finished Darkness Rises (Immortal Guardians #4) by Dianne Duvall and Running Wild (Havoc, #1) by S.E. Jakes.
Darkness Rises is a PNR, and I awarded it 4.5 stars out of 5. I am completely hooked on the Immortal Guardians.
Running Wild is an m-m romance filled with bad boys and motorcycles. I awarded it 3.5 stars out of 5. While I liked Sean and Ryker, Prophet and Tommy still hold my heart captive.
What's in store for the rest of the weekend, you ask? Well, trying to get myself back on a "work" sleep schedule in addition to writing and maybe some biking (yes, my legs are going to completely hate me soon!).
One more picture to end the post!
Crazy Life
Well, since I've been back to work, my free time has been very limited, and I haven't had a whole lot of energy to make the most of the time I do have. I joke that my days consist of work, the gym, dinner, lots of peeing (drinking lots of water and protein shakes), and sleep. Every now and again I practice the piano. Sounds exciting, right? Yeah…
I never realized the energy or the protein required to start building muscle. I've been lifting at the gym, trying to bulk up. My goal isn't body builder, vein popping size, but I want muscles and definition. It has certainly been a challenge, considering I'm a vegetarian.
Sadly, I haven't been writing. Although, I am still reading. Right now I'm working on Dark Soul Vol. 5 by Aleksandr Voinov and Biting Bad (Chicagoland Vampires #8) by Chloe Neill. I'm really sad that this is the last book in the Dark Soul series. I've come to love Silvio Spadaro and will definitely miss him!
This morning was a biking morning. Nicole and I hit the rail trail shortly after 9 am. Yep, no sleeping in for me today! We rode 26.3 miles and treated ourselves to apple pie a la mode and coffee afterward. Yum! It was a gorgeous day, and the start wasn't as cool as we anticipated. Nothing like trying to rush fall into getting here!
We played around with taking photos at the one sunny spot on the trail. I think my self-portrait turned out pretty well! Lol
The ride kicked my butt so I've spent the remainder of the day reading and playing the piano. I've definitely enjoyed relaxing! I'm looking forward to getting back in the gym on Monday as I'm starting a new workout. Time to throw my body a curve! I think it was getting used to the old workout. Not good!
Now it is time for a protein milkshake and a movie…of maybe just some more Teen Wolf! I'm so addicted to that show!
Hope everyone has a safe Saturday night!
Rail Trail Biking
Yesterday, Nicole and I met to ride on the Western Maryland Rail Trail. The weather was overcast and cool, but that didn't put a damper on our spirits. We got an early start and agreed that apple pie would be our reward at the end of the ride (coffee, too!).
We were having a blast. Once we got to the turnaround we stopped for a snack break. We were soon joined by another cyclist. He was…um…unique. *cough* Not sure why he greeted the pasty Cannondale chics in Spanish, but… It was really hard to miss the custom paint job with the words "Dr. Big Dog" scripted along the down tube of his bike. Ah, alrighty then. Nicole and I did some major interval training on the return trip.
Once we had the bikes loaded, we walked to the bakery to get our pie. Not sure if this is a good thing or not, but the waitress remembered us from last week. Maybe that's why our pie slices were bigger? Hmm…. And we were bad, sharing a chuckle at the woman seated behind us who kept her bike helmet on while eating. *snicker* Sorry!
Stats on the ride: 23 miles in 1:42. Not bad considering we are both on the recovery train!
Mac and Cheese Day
Today has turned out to be a comfort food day. Not because I'm feeling sad or depressed but because of this fickle weather. I awoke to a chilly fall morning where the sun shone brightly. As the day progressed, the clouds rolled in and not long ago we were treated to a thunderstorm with a hearty downpouring rain. Hence, the need for mac and cheese (homemade with bread crumbs – no out of the box for me!). Plus, it had the added bonus of warming up the house. No way am I turning the furnace on yet! Although, I may cave tonight and put my electric blanket on the bed.
The weekend has once again flown by! Although, yesterday was a lot of fun. I give Nicole props for the creative bridal shower/ bachelorette party. She chose to have a cookout and camping, which unfortunately had to be cancelled due to the threat of rain. The campsite was right on the Potomac River. I was very jealous! We had no sooner finished our dinner than a group of kayakers arrived for a moonlight kayak tour. Darn it! I would have liked to have gone. Hind sight being what it is I would have gone earlier and taken my bike. The campground is located right along the C&O Canal.
I'm sharing a photo of last night's sunset. Now that fall is upon us, may we all take time to enjoy the little things – colorful sunsets, changing leaves, crisp temperatures, and the aroma of apple crisp . . . just to name a few. God bless!
It is Sunday night already. Where did my weekend go? I wish I knew. Let's see if I can figure it out…
Friday night I had to work. My feet absolutely killed me by the end of the night, which didn't come until past midnight.
Saturday was a reading and writing day. I finally have a completed first draft for a story I want to submit to an anthology. I am so excited! The deadline isn't until after the holidays, but I am so many other stories in various forms of completion, I wanted to get this one wrapped up so I could go back to working on longer pieces. I am going to talk about the reading in just a minute…
Sunday started with a chilly early morning bike ride. The new bike did well other than some annoying noises towards the end of the ride. I am hoping my bumpy ride didn't knock anything important loose. Plus, my elbows and wrists were nearly numb by the time I finished. I am blaming this on the short stem length. I figured I would have to get a longer one, this ride just proved that thought right. It was nice and cool today – yep, sure did feel like fall – so I went for a walk this afternoon in between watching football. I didn't get any writing done today – darn it, but I did research some e-book publishers for a romance story. That has to count for something, right?
Ok, finally to the reading portion of the weekend. I finished A Fall of Water today. This was book four in the Elemental Mysteries series by Elizabeth Hunter. I could go on and on about this book. In fact, can I give it 6 stars?? 5 stars doesn't seem to do it justice. I fell in love with this series. The plot was intriguing and fast paced. Loved, loved, loved the characters. B & Gio rocked. But the secondary characters were just as interesting – Carwyn, Ben, Tenzin, and all the other vampires who came together to help the good guys against Lorenzo and Livia.
If you are looking for a good mystery with a unique view on vampires that has lots of romance, this is a series for you. Be sure to check out the Elemental Mysteries website at http://elementalmysteries.com/ And stay tuned – on October 23rd, the first book in the Elemental World series will be released. It is titled Building from Ashes. This is Carwyn's book – yay!!

They say life imitates art and art imitates life, so when a new video featuring the crew from Baker Skateboards meeting Canada's Trailer Park Boys (TPB) released on 4/20, we can honestly say we weren't sure which version of the popular idiom we were looking at. No matter who imitated who, though, one thing's for sure - It's the kind of union that only the green leaf can facilitate.
In the new clip, the Baker Boys (Riley Hawk, Don Nguyen, and friends) wind up tailing the fictional TPB ex-cons in order to deliver some boards dedicated to Julian, Ricky, and Bubbles. During the "impromptu" meet the squad exchanges plenty of jokes, jargon, and of course, ganja. The interaction is as hilarious as it is entertaining, with everything from threats of legal action to bromantic pursuits. In the end, the motley crew winds up making peace and getting into the travel van together, proving that the gang is more akin than apart. Fans can check out the collabo boards and additional assorted merch on the Baker Skateboards online shop.

Learn How To Properly Prepare For A Road Trip
Taking a road trip across the country can be fun, but you need to be sure to take the time to properly prepare for the trip. Many people think that they can simply hop in their cars and head out whenever they choose. This is not a good option because it could leave you lost or broken down during the trip. The following guide walks you through a few tips to use to ensure that your next road trip goes as smoothly as it possibly can:
Have Your Oil Changed
Before you start on your trip, you need to have your oil changed. You need to be sure that your engine can be properly lubricated during the trip, and having your oil changed by a professional will give you peace of mind that your car is in the best condition that it can be for the trip. When the oil is changed, the mechanic will check to make sure that all of the other fluids in your engine are properly topped off, as well.
Have Your Tires Rotated and Aligned
Having great tires on your car is essential when you are planning a long trip. When you are at the auto body shop, be sure to have your tires rotated and aligned. This ensures that they wear evenly to reduce the chances of you getting a flat tire during your trip. The mechanic will inspect the tires to see if any of them are too worn and need to be replaced. Be sure to have the mechanic check your spare tire too to make sure that it is in good condition. It is also important to make sure that you have all of the necessary tools needed to change a tire if one does go flat during the trip.
Plan Your Route
It is best to take the time to plan the route that you want to take before you start on your trip. Account for traffic patterns and weather conditions to ensure that you plan the safest route possible. It is important to have an accurate GPS system to use if you want the trip to go as smoothly as it possibly can.
If you do not have a roadside assistance package, you may want to consider investing in one before you take off on your trip. This will ensure that you can get help if you need it along the way. Most packages are relatively affordable and work anywhere in the country. Check out a website like http://soundsideauto.com/ for more information and assistance.

Finding the right balance for Piedmont wineries. The Charlottesville Western Bypass is more than a local issue. Gov. McDonnell's Uranium Working Group putting the cart before the horse. And more.
Dear Friends,
What do the Western Bypass, uranium mining, transmission lines and the regulation of farm wineries all have in common? Each is an example of our communities facing a tough choice as to what we want the future of our towns, our counties, and our region to look like.
These are all land use choices; decisions as to how we are going to move forward in our relationship with the land that sustains us. With the national presidential campaigns in full-swing, it is easy to tune out the news concerning local zoning issues, revised ordinances, transportation funding, and comprehensive plans. Yet, these are the issues and decisions that will directly shape our communities and our day-to-day lives, on both physical and functional levels.
Over the past year, there has been an increasingly heated debate over whether and how local governments should regulate the entertainment activities of farm wineries in Virginia. This is a multifaceted issue with multiple interests involved, and what works for one county doesn't necessarily work for another. As more farm wineries make their home in the Piedmont, localities will have to decide what future they envision for their rural areas and their communities—and how farm wineries fit into that picture.
In June 2011, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors shocked constituents by holding an unpublicized, late-night vote to resurrect the Route 29 Western Bypass, northwest of Charlottesville. Since then, VDOT—under pressure from political interests in Lynchburg and the McDonnell administration—has put the Bypass on the construction fast-track. While communities north of Charlottesville may think this bypass is only a local issue, there are compelling reasons for Virginians everywhere to pay attention—and it's not just the quarterbillion dollar price-tag. Big picture: this bypass is part of VDOT's vision to transform Rt. 29 into a Central Virginia Interstate; acting as an alternative to I-81 and I-95. This is not only a bad idea, it's not feasible without a massive right-of-way acquisition and billions of dollars in funding.
The quick update
In 2007, Virginia Uranium, LLC, (VUI) began lobbying hard for the General Assembly's standing moratorium on uranium mining and milling to be lifted. The corporation has big plans to start a mining and milling operation in Pittsylvania County, and PEC and our allies have fought them every step of the way. There is simply too much at stake. Uranium mining and milling in Virginia would be an extremely dangerous experiment. In the United States, uranium has only been mined in arid regions— where low rainfall makes it more feasible to contain the radioactive and toxic mining waste. Virginia is anything but arid.
For six years, the Potomac Appalachian Transmission Highline (PATH)—a massive, unnecessary 765-kV transmission line— has threatened Virginia. The line was to start in southwest West Virginia, travel northeast through previously undisturbed land, eventually cross through Virginia's northern Piedmont, and wind up near Frederick, Maryland. PEC and our allies have been fighting this wasteful project for years, and we have some good news: The PATH transmission line project is officially dead. On August 24th, the Board of PJM, our regional grid operators, voted to cancel the project.
PEC's Fellowship Program, which just finished its sixth year, gives college and graduate students a comprehensive look at the work PEC does in this region—with the hope that the participants will take what they learn in the program into their future careers and communities.
PEC has been hard at work in many areas these last few months. Read a brief story from each of our 9 counties.
