Help With Hydrangeas
Help With Hydrangeas
They're a summertime staple in yards across the country: big orbs of blue on the outstretched arms of leafy shrubs. These so-called mopheads (a type of H. macrophylla) were imported from Japan, China, and Europe in the 19th century. But there are also delicate lacecaps that have flat heads dotted with color and ringed with four-petaled florets, and panicle hydrangeas with white cone-shaped flowers. There are also easy-care species native to the U.S., such as the shade-tolerant oakleaf hydrangea and cold-hardy smooth hydrangea.
Need a little help coaxing your own hydrangeas to perform better? Growing hydrangeas doesn't have to be hard. We've got answers to the most common queries about growing these garden favorites. We'll tell you how to care for hydrangeas, how to help them bloom, and the best places to plant them in the Q&A below.
Shown: Many H. macrophylla varieties can produce pink to deep blue blooms (even on the same plant), depending on the soil's pH.

Futures Studies
- Continuing education
Education and Future Research
14195 Berlin
For admittance to the master's program applicants need to fulfill the following admission requirements:
Bachelor´s degree or equivalent.
Participants must prove a minimum of one year work experience in addition to their undergraduate or first degree.
The admission is limited.
The DSH - or German Language University Entrance Exam for Foreign Students - is obligatory for all applicants whose first language is not German and who have earned their initial degree from a university (or equivalent institution) where the language of instruction is not German.
In addition to general semester fees and dues, students are currently required to pay a fee of 5200€ in total, 2600€ for enrollment and 2600€ for registration for the third semester.
Futures Studies deal with possible, probable, and desirable future developments. Although we cannot see the future, the basic features of important development structures are already taking shape today. Academic methods and social discourse allow us to see these rough outlines. This is where futures research comes in.
Futures Studies have become an important tool in certain areas, such as climate research and assessment of the future impact of technologies. But social developments, such as the future of the education system or changes in political participation, are also fields in which futures studies can play an effective role. The field serves to supply information about social, economic, ecological, political, cultural, and technological notions of the future and possibilities for development in these areas.
The results of futures studies / futures research open up the broad range of possible, probable, and desirable futures and lay them out for public discussion.

Hi Kathleen-- We ran into some similar problems recently and it turned out to be the PCR mix--we had switched to Strategene's pfu turbo and suddenly started having trouble off the single-fly preps. The same prep worked fine with Qiagen HotStar taq. Our guess is that the pfu is pickier about salt conditions etc., as it works great off of more purified genomic DNA. So you might want to try either (1) switching Taqs or (2) cleaning up the DNA first.

In service businesses, increased productivity does not always translate into higher profits. Here's why.
Many contemporary businesses are on a quest for productivity gains. They seek to maintain quality and quantity of output at ever-decreasing cost, yielding higher profitability. As advanced economies move more into the service sector, that means many managers devote a lot of attention to designing automated processes that reduce the need for people — typically their most expensive resource.
Sometimes, this works spectacularly well. Alaska Airlines, an innovator in streamlining the passenger experience, deployed a new check-in system at Anchorage International Airport in 2007, called the Airport of the Future project. By 2008, 73% of the airline's passengers departing from Anchorage checked in via kiosks or the Web, a percentage that was significantly higher than the 50% industry average at the time. That represented a substantial cost savings,1 and the company experienced an 18% improvement in labor productivity. Between 2007 and 2009, Alaska Airlines reduced its work force by 10% and increased its net income by 25%.2
However, not all productivity gains yield such clear victories. Mass media and communications company Comcast Corp. increased its labor productivity by 11.4% from 2006 to 2007, and by another 10.9% from 2007 to 2008. Unfortunately, there were signs that customer satisfaction may have suffered. Comcast may have saved money by increasing its labor productivity, but its customer satisfaction score for subscription television services, as reported by the American Customer Satisfaction Index, fell between 2006 and 2008 and, by 2008, it was substantially below the industry average for that category.
Comcast's story suggests that in service businesses, productivity gains are not always easy to make without sacrificing perceptions of quality. For service businesses, quality perceptions tend to correlate with investments in labor. The truth is that things are different in service, and unlike on the assembly line, increased productivity may not always lead to increased profitability.
In this article, we propose that in a service business, productivity must be treated as a strategic decision variable, not as a reliable path to greater profitability. We'll show you the research that explains why productivity improvements often have counterproductive results in a service business. We'll also explain why managers continue to adopt technologies that alienate their customers. Most importantly, we'll offer a model for managing productivity strategically rather than optimizing it reflexively.

Editor's Note: The following column was written by Oncology Psychologist Jeffrey Kendall, PsyD, LP, the director of oncology support care with University of Minnesota Health Cancer Care services.
Guilt, anger, fear of recurrence, a heightened sense of vulnerability, sadness.
If you have cancer—or have a loved one with cancer—you've most likely experienced some or all of these emotions at some point during your cancer journey. Sometimes, the psychological distress is so intense that it meets the criteria for a clinical condition, including depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders or post-traumatic stress disorder. These negative emotional states can affect every aspect of a cancer patient's life—including the cancer treatment itself and treatment outcomes.
To help cancer patients and their loved ones cope with the emotional challenges that often accompany a cancer diagnosis, University of Minnesota Health Cancer Care providers have implemented a verbal screening system to measure a person's distress before each visit with a cancer specialist.
Our distress screening consists of seven questions that are answered using a zero to 10 scale. The screening covers psychological, social, nutritional and spiritual issues—but takes less than a minute to complete. Anyone who scores high on one of the questions will be contacted after the appointment by a relevant support care professional. During this follow-up conversation, the support care professional may offer assistance and/or set up a time to meet in person.
Why are we implementing a this screening process?
Research increasingly demonstrates that 25 percent to 50 percent of all people with cancer experience levels of distress high enough to disrupt their cancer care and negatively influence all aspects of their daily life. Because so many people are affected, the importance of addressing emotional and social concerns have made distress screening and management a standard of oncology care across the country.
The term "distress" defines unpleasant feelings or experiences that interfere with a person's ability to effectively cope with a cancer diagnosis, its symptoms, and subsequent treatments. We use this term because:
Distress often varies as a people progress through their cancer journey. Problems may remain for months and years after diagnosis. The intensity of distress may increase with an increase in treatment side effects, increasing pain or disability and cancer recurrence. People with lung, brain, pancreatic and blood cancers are more likely to report elevated distress levels, but differences by cancer type are usually small. In addition, women and people diagnosed under age 50 years often report higher distress than men or individuals over age 50.
We know that visits with a support care professional can help people with cancer reduce their level of distress and greatly improve their quality of life. Not only that, but research demonstrates that access to adequate emotional or psychological support can improve cancer outcomes. Given this knowledge, some have said it is ill considered not to provide these services to cancer patients.

Gesundheit! is another well designed game by Konami that combines the elements of thoughtful strategy and coordination. It definitely scores an A+ for its originality. The graphics are nice and the game is quite fluid and easy to play. In addition it has a funny little soundtrack that you will enjoy. It is a very good game for the iTouch or iPhone but the game play is lights out on the iPad. The game is similar in style to Angry Birds but it offers a little more of a challenge. In this game accuracy is not just important for a good score…it is essential just to survive the levels. You can simply survive a level or go for more by collecting stars. Collecting stars makes the game much more difficult to play and it will require some original thinking and fast moves on your part.
The story of this game follows the proverbial plot line of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Your character, who looks a lot like the character in the 80's game Qbert, has a bit of a problem. He wants to go out and play with his peers and he is especially interested in the girly Qbert of the game. However, it appears that the hero of the game is sick. He sneezes and spreads his green goo all over the place making him the laughingstock of his playmates. Of course they end up mocking him before eventually abandoning, all except for his girly love interest who kindly offers him a tissue for his nasty little infection. Just when you think he is about to sneeze off into the sunset with his true love some very nasty looking monsters come to scare his beloved away. Don't worry…it seems our hero is more than capable of rescuing damsel in distress. It seems that his drippy little drainpipe just might come in handy after all.
The game play is fairly straight forward. Each level has a maze that you have to traverse. Your goal is to eliminate all the monsters on the level using various methods. Your characters little biological weapon cannot do any direct damage but it does attract the monsters who find the green slime a little appealing. You can also use your goo to activate switches and overcome obstacles. Located throughout each level are various traps. These traps are a danger both to you and the monsters. The trick is to attract the monsters into the traps while avoiding them yourself. The switches in the game open up new areas that allow you to travel around the maze. These switches can be activated by wither stepping on them or shooting your green goo at it. For most of the switches it is highly recommended that you shoot at them rather than walk across them because they are typically located in areas that are dangerous. As far as the traps are concerned, you need to avoid them at all cost. Do not try to activate them by stepping on them. Get rid of all the monsters and you will finish the level.
The game is fun enough to play without the additional challenges, however, the star challenge in each level makes the game play much more difficult. It is worth your time to collect them. Each level contains three stars which you can clearly see. You cannot simply shoot the stars because it will destroy them. You must walk across them to collect them. In addition to this, if a monster walks across a star it will be destroyed so your goal is to get the monster to move without touching the star. It is much more difficult than it may seem and it really adds another dimension of difficulty to this game.
Overall the game is really fun to play and should give you many hours of challenging entertainment. For iTouch or other hand held devices the game play is a little more difficult because it requires a high degree of accuracy, however, it is so well made that it is worth the minimal cost regardless of what device you use to play it. There have not been a lot of updates for this game which is unfortunate but it is good enough that you can replay it several times before you eventually get tired of it.

Last night I got out my favorite homemade hamburger bun recipe. It is one that I posted on the blog a few years ago, but I think it needs a reposting. These buns are my go to hamburger bun. I really try to commit to not buying store bought bread items, since I know that homemade is not only better for you, but taste better and is cheaper! As long as I keep these stocked in my freezer, than I never stray from my "no store bought bread" rule. You have to try these ladies! Your burger will take on a whole new taste! They are delish! They're are simple to make and require very little rise time as well. Score on all levels! So let's get started :)
Homemade Hamburger Buns
for step by step pictures click HERE
3 1/2 cups of warm water
1 cup of oil
3/4 cup of sugar or 1/2 cup honey
6 TBL Yeast
1 TBL Salt
3 Eggs
10-12 Cups of Flour
Start by adding the first four ingredients to a big mixing bowl and mix well. You can use a standmixer, hand mixer, or do it by hand. Allow to sit for 10 minutes. Next add your eggs and salt. Mix well. Begin adding your flour 1 cup at a time, until a dough forms. I usually get to about 7 cups of flour and then I take it out of my mixer and do the rest by hand. You can also do a mix of white and whole wheat flour. Once your dough ball is formed and is no longer sticky, continue kneading for 5-10 minutes. Your dough will look like this. Once your kneading is done, you can form your buns. This recipe called for very little rise time. Place your bun shaped dough on greased cookie sheets. Brush the tops with a bit of melted butter. I usually use 2-3 tablespoons worth. Sprinkle with sesame seeds on top. Let rise for 10-15 minutes. Bake @425 for 12-15 minutes. The tops should be light golden brown.
This recipe makes about 20 hamburger buns. Once cooled, I store them in freezer bags to use throughout the month. These taste great with sloppy joes and BBQ hamburgers. Yum!
Tip for getting nice warm, not too hot water:
I just let my tab water run warm. This enables you to ensure your water isn't too hot. If your water is too hot, you risk killing your yeast. If it is too cold you won't activate your yeast. So warm water is the best for a happy yeast growing experience.

I hope you get to try these out this week!
Should I make a video tutorial of this recipe?
Let me know in the comments below :)

Home > Awnings > Kampa Awnings
Brand: Kampa
To Order - Stock availability will be checked when you place your order.
The Kampa Ace Pro 400 is a conventional awning in that it uses traditional poles enabling it to have aluminium adjustable legs and pre-shaped aluminium roof poles. At 4 metres wide and 3 metres deep, the Ace 400 provides a very substantial and useful 12 square metres of additional space to your caravan - plenty of room for relaxing, dining and storage.
The Kampa Ace Pro 400 uses the same main awning fabric as the Rally Pro series ("Feel the diference" extra high quality, extra heavy duty Weathershield Pro Material) and comes complete with aluminium frame and adjustable front legs with clamp system. Because the front legs can be adjusted they enable you to get a better fit between the awning and your caravan, particularly when you are pitching on sloping ground.
Along the roof there are three additional skylights which let in extra light and help to add to the pleasant atmosphere in the awning interior.
The Kampa Ace Pro 400 offers a great deal of versatility and choice due to the fact that all five panels can be zipped out. As well as providing substantial ventilation options, this also enables the optional annexe to be zipped into either side of the awning.
To add that little extra as Kampa always do, they have taken out the polyester blinds and put in fabric curtains. The Ace 400 comes with Kampa's AccessoryTrack ( a new feature ) and therefore it is ready to accept any Kampa accessories that attach to it such as the Accessory Track Hanging Rail or Organiser.
Kampa Rally awnings have taken lightweight awnings to the next level and their latest versions are even better. Unlike other similar awnings, the Rally has adjustable legs that can be adjusted to ensure a perfect fit against the caravan in almost all circumstances. A better fit means a better erected awnings and a better erected awning will stand up to more adverse weather and will keep out draughts.
This means that the awning is ready to use with Kampa's SabreLink System - a lighting system design specifically by Kampa for Kampa awnings. It allows you to link upto three lights together ( providing 450 LED's ). The Sabrelink system can be fixed to the front and centre poles of the awning.
This means that the awning is ready to use with Kampa's Limpet Fix System - a very handy and clever way of attaching the rear wall of your Kampa awning to your caravan. The awning has pre-cut holes and you place the Limpet through these holes. You can then attach the Limpet to a smooth surface on your caravan.

Actinic keratoses might develop into specific types of skin cancers, which can be diagnosed with a skin biopsy, but regular Actinic Keratosis can be diagnosed by a health-care professional by simply observing your skin.
Common symptoms include:
- Patches can burn and sting
- 2 to 6mm in size
- Irritation
- Possible bleeding
- Redness
Those with fair and light skin, green or blue eyes and blonde or red hair have a higher risk of developing Actinic Keratosis. People with specific rare skin conditions, like Xeroderma Pigmentosum are likely to have AK. Adults are more likely to have it, due to the longer periods of sun exposure. Africans are far less-likely to have actinic keratoses.
Treatment Options
Reducing the amount of sun exposure is considered to be the best treatment for actinic keratoses. There are many other treatment options available. These are some of the most common ones.
- Cryotherapy – Cryosurgey solution is sprayed on the lesions, freezing the cells. They become scabs and eventually peel off.
- Chemical peels – A chemical solution is applied to the lesions, causing them to peel off over time. An example is 5-FU.
- Excision – This will cut the lesions from the skin. This will most-likely be used if the lesion is cancerous.
- Curettage and cautery – The lesion is scraped off and and heat is applied to the surface of the skin.
- Light therapy – Also known as phototherapy. A chemical solution is applied to the lesion, then your skin is placed under a specific light exposure to kill the cells.
If you are afraid your AK is serious, see your doctor for inspection and possible treatment. Remember to lessen the sun exposure of your skin to prevent the AK from developing further.

Hi All,
I'm switching over to AppBridge (finally) with my current app update and I'm running into an issue. I'm trying to display a collection resource picker for Custom and Smart collections. I'd like to display the different collection types independently so I currently have the following for the Custom collection.
Custom Collection Picker using GraphQL Initial Query:
var ResourcePicker = actions.ResourcePicker; const customPicker = ResourcePicker.create(app, { resourceType: ResourcePicker.ResourceType.Collection, initialQuery: "collection_type:custom" });
The problem is that when the picker loads, it's loading both Custom and Smart collections so it seems the query isn't taking effect. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong here?
[EDIT] I just realized as well that the autocomplete search in the resource picker does't seem to be finding some of the collections. I know I have a Custom collection called "Unit Test 3" but when I enter that into the autocomplete search in the picker, it says No Results. Any ideas? Lastly, there doesn't seem to be any paging controls in the picker as shown in the example image. It actually looks like the old picker even though I'm using AppBridge. Strange...
Solved! Go to the solution
Hey @Kris_Doyle.
Something I'm noticing as a difference between my code and yours is that I'm putting my initial query in an options object:
const collectionPicker = ResourcePicker.create(app,{ resourceType: ResourcePicker.ResourceType.Collection, options: { open: true, initialQuery: 'collection_type:smart' } });
That works for me.
It looks like that screen shot is out of date. I was able to confirm with the App Bridge team that the resource picker currently utilizes infinite scrolling rather than pagination.
Hi @Alex,
Thanks VERY much for your help with this! This was indeed the issue. All is right with the world now, thanks :)
Hey @Alex ,
I just realized something...although the initial query is working to show only Custom or Smart collections, if I hit Cancel and then open the ResourcePicker again with the same initial query, it shows the query text in the search box which allows the user to then clear it which negates the initial query. Is that by design?
Hopefully this makes sense but it looks like this below...the red arrow is the first time I show the picker and the query text is not showing as expected. Then I click cancel. The green arrow is the second time I show the picker (second click on Search). On the second click, the InitialQuery text is shown in the search box. Just not sure if that's by design or not. The problem is of course that when the user starts to search, the first thing they'll do is clear the text and start searching...but then the scope will be wrong. Does that make sense? Do I need to destroy the picker somehow on Cancel?
Running into the same problem here, the initial query is hidden when a resource picker is displayed the first time.
On subsequent open actions, the initial query is visible.
How can we avoid this?
Here's an (incomplete) code snippet that shows how we create a picker in plain Javascript:
let picker = ResourcePicker.create(app, { resourceType: resourceType, options: { initialQuery: query, selectMultiple: selectMultiple, showVariants: showVariants, showHidden: showHidden } }); picker.subscribe(ResourcePicker.Action.SELECT, function (selection) { //... }); picker.dispatch(ResourcePicker.Action.OPEN);
I've created a new post for this issue specifically: https://community.shopify.com/c/Shopify-APIs-SDKs/App-Bridge-ResourcePicker-InitialQuery-not-hidden-...

About Us
Shop the Shore began as a four page flyer called The Co-Operative Advertiser in 1986. Local resident and founder, Glenda Power, created the publication to advertise her business, "Kit'n Caboodle." Glenda had partnered with "Crescent Electronics" and "Golden Coast Seafood" and the first issue was released.
Glenda worked with local companies to join her in this new venture and a co-operative of twelve local businesses was formed. Together, these companies called the publication Shop the Shore. Each advertiser was responsible for creating their own ad, taking it to the printer, then meeting monthly with the other co-operative members to assemble the issue by hand.
After 23 years of successful business, Maria retired in January 2009 and sold the publication to Kevin Murphy, another long time resident from Musquodoboit Harbour. Kevin, an entrepreneur from the Shore who was owner of "KSM Entertainment Pro DJ Services", made many connections throughout his years in business to help continue the growth and success of Shop the Shore.
In July 2012, Shop the Shore Publications expanded its reach into Cole Harbour with a new publication entitled The Cole Harbour Merchant. The Merchant is a growing publication providing even more cost effectively advertising to local businesses, reaching over 19,500 homes.
Kevin became MLA for the Eastern Shore and Speaker of the Nova Scotia Legislature in October 2013. In March 2015, he sold "Shop the Shore Publications" to another long-time local resident of the Eastern Shore, Jeff Dwyer.
Jeff, who has an extensive business background, also owns Trimar Promotional Products, Trimar Accounting Services Limited and Dwyer MacDonald Inc. He and his team continue to build on the past success of both Shop the Shore and The Cole Harbour Merchant. The Shop the Shore team is made up of local residents and the whole team looks forward to many more years of success with both publications.

I recently came across an article all about the National Trust's 50 things to do before you're 11 and 3/4 and fell in love with the idea.
I think with the increase of technology some children never experience the really fun childhood milestones. I'm not saying I'm anti tv, iPads etc as Finn does watch some cartoons, and the iPad was a lifesaver on the plane. But I'm really conscious of making sure Finn doesn't use them too much as he grows up. I also think this list is a really fun way to have quality family time together.
Here's the list
And here's a link to the site 50 Things so you can have a look for yourself.
Obviously Finn is still really little so there aren't many we can complete at the moment but I'll definitely be referring back to this list as time goes on. I know Stu will really enjoy doing these activities with Finn as well.
Here's some pictures from some we've already ticked off,
3. Camp out in the wild.
And – 23. Visit a farm

If you lack the
facilities to raise chicks from day old, or
simply want the security or convenience of
starting with older birds, we offer layer
breeds of chickens as started birds.
Price Lists are available at the feed
store or from our office.
Please see
the Price List for minimum orders per breed
and age.
For customers who
are not concerned with maximum egg production
and would like a colourful variety of breeds
for your small flock.
Please note: a minimum of 6 birds must be
ordered for delivery.
These breeds mature and start laying 2-3 weeks
later than the Red Sex-Link.
Remember to review the Basic Considerations
for Managing Ready-to-Lay Pullets.
old chicks can be beak trimmed
on request. We do not recommend beak
trimming White Rock chicks due to their
rapid growth and shorter life span. We
cannot assume responsibility if higher
mortality (starve-outs) is experienced with
beak-trimmed chicks.
We do not beak
trim turkeys, ducks or pheasants.
Started and
Ready-to-Lay are infrared laser beak treated
at day old to prevent picking and egg
breakage. Beak treatment still allows the
hens to "scratch" feed or range.
packs without electrolytes are
helpful to get baby chicks and turkeys off to
a good start. Remember that you have high
brooding temperatures, manure and water
(spillage)... the perfect environment
for bacteria and mold to grow!
packs with electrolytes are helpful
to chickens and turkeys experiencing stress
such as high outdoor temperatures, large
temperature fluxuations, poor air quality,
(when trying to maintain proper temperature
inside the pen or wet litter causing ammonia)
and nutrient deficiencies (when poultry are
allowed to forage/free range they may develop
a nutritional imbalance).
We offer several
books that are useful to the backyard poultry
grower. Books may be ordered through your feed
store or directly from Frey's. Please contact
us for details and prices.

Notes for the WI:
A wholly unfinished history and controversial commentary on:
It has been said that well managed organisations have transparency, are subject to oversight and are accountable. Unfortunately, none of these apply to either Ellingham United Charities or Kirby Cane Charities which gives us an indication of what to expect in their stories.
- Ellingham United Charities
- Kirby Cane Charity
- The Sand and Gravel Charity
- Ellingham Parish Council since 1894
- Kirby Cane Parish Council since 1894
- Kirby Cane and Ellingham Parish Council
Booklets, leaflets/maps, Faden's map, Enclosure map to be given out here.
Use Faden's map and the leaflet map to identify the lands managed by the charity trustees and the Poor's Land.
Note how the commons were "lost" and the political situation that existed in the early 1800's and resulted in the provision of the Poor's Land.
Note how the Local Government Act of 1894 had a marked impact on the way in which local affairs were managed and how much of the controversy surrounding the charities begins at this time.
What are the charities?
Starting with Ellingham United Charities:
- Henry Bonfellow, known also as the Partable Lands. Will dated 1650.
- John Packard. Will dated 1819.
- Poor's Allotment. Enclosure Award dated 1806.
- Town Lands. Deed dated 1392-3
(Charity Commissioners Scheme for Ellingham Charities Jan 1918)
See copy of the deed as translated – pass round single copy.
The Kirby Cane Charities are:
- Henry Bonfellow's Charity, known also as the Partable Lands. Will dated 1650.
- Thomas Potts Charity 1646 (Rector of Kirby Cane 1620-1646)
- Enclosure lands.
- John Hardwar's Catechism money. (Rector of Kirby Cane 1661-1689)
Returning to the leaflet map again we can see the land holdings managed by the trustees of these charities and the Poor's Land:
There are around 67 acres in all. 20 acres is Ellingham Poor's land; 5 acres is Kirby Cane Poor's Land and the other 42 acres is land given to the villages by the benefactors listed above.
The Sand and Gravel Charity – see the leaflet map again – is a small parcel of land, basically an old pit, given to the Ellingham village in the 1900's. It had become "lost"; nobody knew where it was until research tracked it down a couple of years ago.
What about the Parish Councils?
Parish Councils were first introduced by the Local Government Act of 1894. Basically, this Act had the effect of transferring most of the duties that had been carried out previously by the Parochial Church Council to secular authority. Particularly, legal title to the land and assets of all non-ecclesiastical charities was passed to the new Parish Councils.
Ellingham Parish Council: The first Parish Council meeting for Ellingham was called by the Overseers of Ellingham whose powers were now to shift to the new council. The meeting was held at the school in Ellingham at 7.30 p.m. on Tuesday 4th December 1894. This meeting was conducted, perhaps unsurprisingly, by Mr. Henry Smith of Ellingham Hall who set about giving details of those nominated as the first Ellingham Parish Councillors:
1. Frederick Barber
2. Frederick Brown
3. Henry Eggott
4. Rev. William Day French
5. Frederick Jones
6. John Thrower
7. Henry Youngman
After a fifteen minutes pause in proceedings to allow for any other nominations, Mr. Smith declared these people; "…duly elected as Parish Councillors for the Parish of Ellingham."
Kirby Cane Parish Council: It has taken a while to track down the Kirby Cane Parish Council records so not much to say here until they have been researched. The first meeting of the Kirby Cane villagers to determine the members of the Parish Council was held in the Elementary School on 13th December 1894. Present, though I cannot be sure whether or not they were appointed:
- Robert Pilgrim
- Benjamin Hinsley
- Albert Osbourne
- James Westrip
- Joseph Harvey
- Joseph ?
The newly empowered local councillors decided straight away that Ellingham United Charities and the Kirby Cane Charities needed new Schemes of Governance; trust documents. Remember that the 1894 Local Government Act transferred legal title of the assets of these charities to the Parish Council.
Ellingham Parish Council immediately came across problems with the prior management of Ellingham United Charities and called in the Charity Commissioners. The Commissioners became so frustrated at not getting any replies to their letters to the incumbent vicar of the time that they sent in an investigator. Eventually a new Scheme was drawn up, under the threat of the new incumbent, Rev Hendley, with "heavy law costs" on the council. Why the problem? It was because the new incumbent had managed to gain a share of the secular charities income for the church. The new 1918 Scheme was never ratified by the Parish Council and (here's a bold statement from the records) the records from then until now are absolutely full of breaches of trust by successive groups of trustees.
Note that full details are available in the booklet and on the website and the evidence itself is in the Record Office.
Kirby Cane Parish Council found themselves with similar problems in that the Kirby Cane Charities were in rather a mess. However, they were supported in their efforts to begin their new management duties by the then Rector of Kirby Cane, Rev. Chapman.
The trustees of the Kirby Cane Charities had for many years been made up entirely of members of the family of Rev Abbot Upcher. (The Sheringham Upcher's) These trustees employed a firm of solicitors to write up a new Scheme in 1879. (How history repeats itself) However, the Kirby Cane villagers got together and raised funds to employ a firm of solicitors themselves to question where the charity monies had been going.
Rev. Chapman forced the hand of the Charity Commissioners to look again at the Scheme of 1879 by refusing to sit as Chairman of the trustees. The Charity Commissioners then reported that, indeed, money from the Kirby Cane Charities was "bestowed upon the poor" and nobody else should have it. A new Scheme was introduced in 1897 by which the trustees were to spend the income from the lands and investments on the poor.
The Schemes for both Ellingham United Charities and Kirby Cane Charity have written into them that the Parish Council shall appoint the majority of trustees to both trustee bodies. Unfortunately, these appointments have been overlooked in the past so that trustees have appointed themselves or others without the respective Parish Councils knowing.
How does Poor's Land fit into all of this?
It is important to link Poor's Land with what had been happening on a national scale. Landowners were all for enclosing land with the excuses of increased production, economies of scale and so on. However, the land that they were enclosing and splitting up amongst themselves was Common land. As can be seen on the Faden map, this was a huge area covering hundreds of acres. This was land that the poor/ordinary people had used for centuries to provide them with the necessities of life. Enclosure had been going on for many years across the country and in places the dispossessed poor had risen up against the landowners. As an expedient we might say, or to save their skins perhaps, the landowners had hit upon the idea of giving the dispossessed Poor's Land for their own use. In Ellingham and Kirby Cane, as we have seen, this was 25 acres all told.
The management of Poor's Land was given to the Overseers of the Poor, the very same people who were managing the charities. So it seems that the Overseers for the Poor then combined the income from this land with that income derived from the charities lands and investments. This might seem fine, as it would be the poor that benefit in the long run. However, as we have seen, where the money went was a bit of a mystery for the villagers of Kirby Cane in the 1870's. In Ellingham, as the records show, income from the Poor's Land was regularly diverted to the use of the Parochial Church Council.
There are questions here. Whilst we might accept that the land and investments left to the villagers should be managed by separate bodies of trustees and subjected to certain conditions in the trust documents:
Should Poor's Land be regarded as a village asset, be managed by the Parish Council and be subjected to the normal conditions that apply to any other assets of the village?
This is the case in many places across the country – can Rik give some figures for Norfolk?
Snippets from the charity records: (Most of the Parish Council and charity records are now held in the Norfolk Record Office and can be seen by anybody during their opening hours.)
Quite apart from the controversies that come to light through the historic record, there is also a good deal of social history that can be gleaned. Some of this is found in the booklets given tonight and more can be found on the website.

And so on. All the pictures can be seen and enlarged on the website.
Now to finish on a sad note:
Throughout history justice could be quite harsh and many villages and towns had their own specific location for hangings. The Enclosure Award map of 1806 gives a clue to the whereabouts of the scaffold, or tree, for our villages; Galloway Lane, now called Wardley Hill. Interestingly, as Robin pointed out some time back, Wardley Hill leads into Litchmere Lane; Lych being the Saxon word for corpse. It seems plausible that the two are connected.
Galloway Lane
At the five crossways many did die
On the hangman's noose a silhouette in the sky
Along Galloway Lane they made their way
Knowing that this would be their last day
Was it a cold and frosty winter's dawn?
Or was it a sunlit summer's morn?
Some came this way at the dead of night
The terrible scene lit by lantern light
Was it the oak or was a gibbet there?
Were they left to hang and cause great fear?
Rich man's justice for poor man's crime
Despicable punishment time after time
When we today pass this way
There are few clues of yesterday
I hope that spirits remain there still
Now that Galloway Lane has become Wardley Hill.

A friend handed me another picture of something she found while surfing the net. Although it wasn't a card, the minute I saw it, I knew I was going to make it a card. I got just the push I needed when I hopped on over to Two Scraptastic Gals. The Challenge this week was to create a project using Forever Young.
Although most of the dress is hidden by tulle and ribbon, I promise the dress is from Forever Young. Thanks for stopping by!

A group of students have banded together to put on a production written and directed by Millersville University senior Rasheed Wesley. The play, titled Home, is Wesley's interpretation of the events leading up to the creation of the Black Lives Matter movement. What originally was meant to be a short play blossomed into something bigger and more intense than Wesley had originally intended.
The play itself only took Wesley around two days to write. The production has been in rehearsal for only four weeks and many of the actors featured in Home have minimal or no experience. This has in no way hindered the progress of the production, which has grown from a small short play to a performance that has been deemed worthy of an individual showcase.
Stage Manager Victoria Whitney stated that she was thoroughly impressed with the talent and how quickly everyone was able to get off book, especially considering the highly emotional aspect of Wesley's writing.
"At Millersville, we've done morbid and morose plays but never something so grounded in real events" Whitney said.
According to Whitney, the reality of the subject in this play makes the shorter timeline and the chaos of production worth it. "There's a point and a purpose and an end goal" Whitney said.
"When you have that much of a wealth of information, sadly it's really easy to write something like this," Wesley said. "Part of the reason I made this was to give us something. I wanted to give this campus and black actors the opportunity to show what we can do"
During the writing process, Wesley decided to act on his vision to not only speak out about race relations in the United States, and the widely debated deaths of these individuals, but also to create an opportunity to showcase the diversity of Millersville University's campus.
"Part of the reason I made this was to give us something. I wanted to give this campus and black actors the opportunity to show what we can do. I want to spark conversation and I want people to realize that this is still a real thing…I want to open up those questions about race relations and diversity on campus" Wesley said.
The play will be premiering on the 15th and 16th of February in Dutcher Hall's studio. Following both performances, there will be a panel discussion and a Q&A where the audience can discuss race relations and "Home" with Wesley and other panel members.

Intelligent Efficiency
In combining an Infinity heat pump and gas furnace with an Infinity control, the unique Infinity Hybrid Heat dual fuel system selects the fuel source to heat your home that's most cost-efficient during all times of the year and varying outdoor conditions.
During cool weather for example, using a gas furnace may be overkill and an electric heat pump could be all that's necessary to heat your home. The Infinity Hybrid Heat system recognizes this and engages the heat pump to save on fossil fuel use, which can, ultimately, save money.
On the other hand, when temperatures drop, a heat pump may not be sufficient and the furnace becomes necessary. The Infinity Hybrid Heat system will switch modes and provide the perfect level of home comfort.
Add the use of environmentally friendly Puron® refrigerant, which is approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a non-ozone-depleting refrigerant, and the Infinity Hybrid Heat system demonstrates Carrier's commitment to the environment. In other words, for sustainability, efficiency and performance, it's the complete package.
Learn more about how the Infinity Hybrid Heat system can help you stay warm all winter, cool all summer and a little richer all year long.
1 The Infinity Hybrid Heat system with Greenspeed intelligence is the most efficient ducted, air-source dual-fuel system available according to AHRI estimated average annual combined heating and cooling operating costs as of 2-13-2012.

Gametrailers.com misleads public with their PS3 vs. 360 comparison of The Darkness.
UPDATE: YouTube has pulled down the videos. I had no back-ups, nor any warnings from YouTube. The videos will no longer be available.
So GameTrailers.com went ahead and did a side-by-side cap of The Darkness on both PS3 and XB360. Their video shows the PS3 version having normal looking colors and darkness settings, while there is definately something wrong about the 360 side of the screen. It looks purposely brightened, and very washed out.
The the game launches on both systems, and to 360 owner's delight, the game featured a graphical adjustment setting in the menu. Right away, it became obvious what GameTrailers had done. They used a horrible setting, and misrepresented the game and the 360 console itself.
So we here at Rated-M.com thought we'd go ahead and show you the setting differences ourselves. You can see the washed out over-bright setting that GameTrailers used, as well as some of the more appropriate settings vith vibrant colors.
NOTE: this was not an HD capture, but a Standard Definition capture. So at 720p and higher, it further improves vibrancy of colors (obviously).

Click here to view the USHL press release.
Niagara University is located in Lewiston, NY, which is only a two hour drive from Jackson's hometown of London, Ontario, Canada. I'm sure Jackson's friends and family are excited for the opportunity to watch him play hockey so close to home.
Jackson will join former Stars players Sam Afieri (2010-11), Nick Cecere (2010-11) next season for the Purple Eagles.
Jackson is playing his second season with the Lincoln Stars, and his third in the USHL. This season, Jackson has split time with Michael Bitzer and has a record of 15-10-2 with a 2.79 goals against average and a .902 save percentage.
Last season, Jackson split time with Charles Williams and had a record of 18-14-1 with a 2.67 goals against average and a .896 save percentage.
Before being traded to Lincoln in the summer of 2011, Jackson spent the 2010-11 season with the expansion Dubuque Fighting Saints. Teichroeb went 14-6-5 with a 2.49 goals against average and a .905 save percentage in 2010-11 for Dubuque. The Fighting Saints won the Clark Cup that particular season.
Jackson has definitely paid his dues over the past few seasons, so it's very nice to see him get rewarded with this commitment. Best of luck to him next season at Niagara!

II. I just finished watching the Christmas episode of The Office and I thought it was great. This season has been so much better than the previous two, probably because the writers have some sense of purpose again, and it's so sad that the show is going to continue beyond this season in order to slowly dissolve into flames, just like Scrubs and That 70s Show and every other comedy that has foolishly believed it could survive after the lead actor wants out. It's too bad because then you leave the long-term fans with a lasting impression of "wtf?" when you could have gone out with ~dignity~. Britain, I make fun of your hilarious tv schedules all the time, but at least you usually seem to sense when enough is enough.
III. I also watched Misfits. lol the fuck was this episode?
I mean, this show is pretty weird, but... what? A gorilla? What? FROM WHERE? THE ZOO? WHAT. What even. Okay I did laugh when she took off the gorilla mask and it was a gorilla but like... what?
Also I guess Simon had sex with that pretty girl? I am so meh on Simon and Simon/Alisha. I guess I feel bad for Alisha, but I'm still like "FUCKING TIMEY-WIMEY SHIPS, GET OUT".
The shot of everyone in superhero garb was lulz though. And Alisha looked great as usual. Even though this episode was totally whack I am interested in the finale, at least. And the Christmas special which immediately follows the finale, lol Britain.
IV. Omg, we got my dog's hair clipped for the first time in his life. My mom did not tell me she was doing this today, because she wanted to surprise me I guess, and so some stranger-dog came to greet me when I got home from work, wearing a bandana. It is SO WEIRD. There was a second or so when I considered the possibility that some other dog was in my house (this is not unheard of). It is literally like some mysterious other dog has replaced ours and is just living in our house for some reason. I'll post a before/after picture once I get some.
He looks very poodley now, whereas before he was just kind of a big mop of hair. I actually think it makes him look cleverer, but maybe that's just because I associate poodles with being smart and mops with being mops.

The creation of two teachers from Skye earned the award for Innovation in Education at the prestigious Gaelic Awards
The online Gaelic Education resource site for Primary School Teachers "Lasadh" is the creation of two Highland Council Gaelic Medium Primary School Teachers, Mairi MacDonald and Gwen Culbertson who teach at Bun-sgoil Shlèite on the Isle of Skye.
The Scottish Gaelic Awards which were held in Grand Central Hotel, Glasgow on 15 November are part of a drive to celebrate all aspects of Scottish culture and were sponsored by Bòrd na Gàidhlig.
Councillor Alister Mackinnon, Chair of The Highland Council's Corporate Resources Committee and Chair of the Gaelic Strategy and Implementation Group congratulated Mairi and Gwen, he said: "This award for Innovation in Education for Lasadh is a fantastic achievement by Mairi and Gwen who have worked tirelessly over a number of years to develop the web resource for Primary School Teachers. Their dedication to furthering Gaelic Medium Education strongly reflects and supports Highland Council's Programme commitment to the Gaelic language and I commend them on their creativity and perseverance."
Lasadh is primarily a literacy resource website for Gaelic Medium practitioners www.lasadh.co.uk. It was developed in partnership with Stòrlann Nàiseanta na Gàidhlig following a shared desire to develop high quality educational resources for use across Gaelic Medium schools, nationally.
Reflecting on the award, Mairi MacDonald said: "We are thrilled to receive this award that recognises how important and innovative Lasadh is to Gaelic Medium Education."
Gwen Culbertson added: "We are very grateful to Stòrlann and Highland Council for their support and partnership. We are looking forward to what further development lies ahead."

DXRacer Gaming Chair Review of Their Top 3 Chairs
Are you looking for something to take you gaming experience to the next level? Something that enhances your comfort level and overall enjoyment during your gaming sessions? Then I may just have exactly what you are looking for, my friend.
I am huge gaming fan, and if I'm not gaming then I am working online via my laptop. This means that I spent a huge amount of my days sitting down. It cannot be helped – my work centers around me being online and my biggest hobby is playing video games!
So, as you can imagine, a huge factor of my daily routine is deciding what it is I'm going to sit on. As you may well know yourself, sitting on a rubbish chair or, God forbid, the ground, while you are engrossed in a video game is a sure way to ruin your back.
If you spend an hour or three gaming or online and have a sore back or stiff legs when you get up then it's a safe bet that you were sitting on an inadequate chair!
I spent time deciding on a chair that was going to ensure I didn't have chronic back problems in the future. The first thing I did was to identify what a top quality office gaming chair should provide.
Well, to begin with, it needs to be ergonomically efficient but also comfortable – there is little point in a chair being healthy for your body if it is a nightmare to sit on.
What should I look for in the best gaming chair?
The chair has to be comfortable, flexible, and durable to manage the many hours that it will inevitably be used for. It HAS to be made from quality materials.
It also has to have functions that are vital for a gamer and computer enthusiast – in essence a comfortable and adjustable armrest and headrest, and possibly a spacious footrest as well, if you're interested in that feature.
After doing some pretty exhaustive research I found that the best brand of computer chair that offers a variety of gaming chairs was made by a company called DXRacer.
The great thing about this company is that they have a chair for every type of person. Whether you are just an out and out gamer, or someone who lives and breathes online via social media, or else someone like me who works and plays via their consoles and laptop, DXRacer has a chair that suits.
Below are what I believe to be the top three DX Racer chair options available today (and therefore the best computer/gaming chairs available pretty much anywhere):
So what DXRacer Gaming Chair should I choose?
Here are three different models that I chose to cover in this article. The three represent a top of the line, a mid-level, and an entry level gaming chair.
1. DX Racer OH/MX0/NW
Check Here for Amazon Current Price and Rating
This is the best of the best when it comes to a computer/gaming chair….and the price reflects this! Though in saying that, as with everything, if you want the best than you're going to have to pay top dollar.
Standout features include:
- Perfect combo of comfort and sport looks
- The seating surface measures at 20.5" x 20.5" to give a wider and deeper area
- Features a premium head pillow and lumbar cushion for further comfort
- The 5-point base on the bottom is constructed of aluminum so you know it will last the test of time
- Ergonomically correct design
- Constructed from race car seat breathable material
- Your neck and spine are given extra support by the high backrest
- Flexibility is paramount in computer/gaming chairs and this one has a 180 degree adjustment
- The specially designed armrests are super soft and feature 8 levels of adjustment
2. DX Racer RF0/NW
Find out what the current price is on Amazon!
Quite a bit cheaper than the leading one mentioned above but is still feature packed. A key feature of this chair is that it possesses a taller, wider backrest which makes it ideal for those of us who are slightly larger than average in physical dimensions. This gaming chair also has all 5 out of 5 star reviews on Amazon. See the trend?!?
Standout features include:
- Constructed from high-density cold cure foam filling which ensures that this chair remains comfortable even if used for 8+ hours
- The tubular steel frame and metal star base results in a durable and safe chair
Armrests possess 8 unique positions
- Incorporates a tilt-mechanism which allows angling all the way back up to 180 degrees for maximum comfort
- The footrest is of a new design and is made entirely out of a strong nylon material which has proven to be stronger than steel
- As with all chairs of this nature, this one has been built with ergonomics in mind
Designed from patent race car seat breathable material for added comfort
3. DX Racer OH/FD01/GN
Price on Amazon: $289.00
A lot cheaper than the previously mentioned models due to the fact that is was created for the sole purpose of supplying those people who are seeking affordable luxury. This chair is used by eSports player and their fan. It is often featured by popular teams such as Dignitas, complexity and Fnatic. This chair currently sports a 4.5 out of 5 star rating on Amazon. Not too shabby!
Standout features include:
- As with the previous model, it features high-density cold cure foam filling which makes the chair ideal for long sittings such as 8+ hours
- Offers superb stability via the tubular steel frame and a metal star base
- The integrated headrest, along with the adjustable support cushion, increase greatly the comfort level
- Features a tilt-mechanism that allow 180 degree flexibility
- Incorporates an ergonomic design for a healthy, comfortable feel
The armrest is 90 degree adjustable
- Also features a heavy duty base which serves as a prime footrest
Final thoughts…
While these are my personal favorite three DX Racer pc gaming chairs, there are whole range of different options that feature slightly different aspects. In terms of the three I just mentioned, you really cannot go wrong with any of them. It all depends how much you are willing to spend and which you believe best suits your need.
If you happen to be as active as me in playing video games and/or being online, then a chair of high quality is absolutely essential. I cannot stress this enough. Trust me, the last thing that you want is a back related injury because you have been sitting on a standard, run of the mill chair for hours upon hours every day. Not clever. So be smart and invest in the best. I hope this DXRacer chair review helped you choose!
Feel free to leave a comment below if you have used one a different DXRacer gaming chair other than what I covered above (or even if you have one of the above). They have so many different models it would be impossible for me to try each one and write a review about each of them.

Thanks to our pre-installation measurements, your old windows pose no threat. If the open area has warped (a common occurrence), we realign and readjust the levels to allow the new replacement windows to fit properly. We then test every aspect of your replacement window to ensure it opens and closes easily and that the sashes of the window operate properly.
Step Five: Weatherproofing
Although a small gap between your new windows and the house frame exists, our installers fill this with special insulation foam to eliminate any drafts. Once in place, your windows will be airtight, weatherproof, and energy efficient.
Step Six: Finishing Touches
The foam used to insulate your windows is not exactly visually appealing. However, we rectify this by covering the foam with a trim to accentuate your interior.
Step Seven: Final Cleanup
When delivered, each of your new windows comes protected by a protective film. Step seven involves the removal of this film, the cleaning of our work area, the shining of any glass areas, and putting your furniture back in its proper place. After this, all that is left is for you to enjoy your new windows and to take a deep breath knowing you cut your energy consumption.

Landscape Photographers are constantly searching for new and exciting areas to capture those one of a kind shots or even searching out well seasoned locations and trying to put their own spin on it. The Arrigetch Peaks located in the Gates of the Arctic National Park, Alaska is definitely an exciting destination where you can get creative. Go in the Fall season around late August and catch the Tundra in its peak color display and you also have an excellent opportunity at shooting the Aurora as the Arrigetch Peaks lay right in the heart of the Aurora Band called the Auroral zone. If the weather is kind, you just might capture a few great shots for the tin.
This trip has been on my radar for two plus years and ranked up there pretty high on the bucket list just because it's a very demanding adventure and with time marching on I felt I needed to get this two week backpacking/photography party started!Continue reading

Actually, I made 4 Geranium dresses for 3. My oldest daughter got two, my youngest got one and my niece got one. It felt like a whole lot of geranium dresses though. All this sewing occurred around Easter. I know it's been a while since then, but I didn't get a chance to blog about it because I was very pregnant and tired and then I had a baby! He has been taking up every bit of my free time and I love it! Check him out:
Gus at 2 weeks old, yes that's an Orla Kiely boppy cover. It's not the most masculine print, but more so than the pink floral one I had before, and I really wanted it! He got the Orla Kiely bibs too!
In the picture to the right he is a week older and being held by his oldest sister. And he has on the exact same outfit in both pictures. The girls love that dinosaur onsie and constantly request that he wear it. Both girls are so sweet to him, it melts my heart.
So, I made my oldest a Geranium dress a few weeks before Easter and she wore it to the Easter egg hunt at our church. I had already decided to make them Easter dresses this year and chose to use the same pattern. Since there are several variations, I don't think the dresses look that much alike. For the first one I used the cap sleeves, the yoke neckline and pleats at the waist. The Easter dresses both have flutter sleeves because I feel like they look a little more fancy. They both have a gathered waist, but I tried the v-neck version on one. As for the necklines, I am not going to make another v-neck until I read some more about the construction, or I talk to my mom about it. The fabric bunched a lot a the point, but I was too scared to cut it any closer than I did. It looks just fine from a distance and still decent up close, but I know the struggle I went through with that v-neck (it was real). The yoke neck was easy enough too, but better for the non-Easter dress because it is a more casual look I think. Here are some quick pictures I snapped on my phone:
Then somewhere in there, I squeezed out another coordinating Geranium dress for my niece, but I never did get a picture of the two of them together with the matching dresses on. I was running short on the both the patterned fabric and the solid pink, but I think I made it work well enough.
The only thing I didn't love about the pattern is the way the skirt attaches in the back. I sewed the lining down by hand and by doing it that way I could cover up the seam at the waist very neatly. But if I had needed to do that part on the machine, which is an option per the pattern, there is no way it would look as good. I marked the problem area with a blue circle in the picture below.
But, that is my only very minor complaint about this pattern and its not like I came up with any better way of attaching the skirt or anything. I really love this pattern. I found it to be very versatile and the instructions were great. Even though I've already made four of these dresses, I think there are more Geranium dresses in my future.
Here are some more photos of my girls in their Geranium dress. The first one is just my girls playing outside in our back yard with a stuffed animal.
Geranium dresses are good for twirling too!
Happy sewing!

Been a while since we had a movie review. As before, we'll focus on the story, writing, directing, acting, cinematography, etc., in turn, and try to avoid spoilers. There is one new addition to this review at the end and we'll try not to make a habit of it (that said, do let us know whether you agree or not in the comments).
Hollywood rarely tackles the world of technology in believable, realistic ways, preferring to explore it, mostly, through the science fiction genre and, mostly, not very well then either. The new Spike Jonze movie, 'Her', may prove to be a rare exception, still, it is, with that intelligent operating system (sexy voice, courtesy of Scarlett Johansson), a fantastical, futuristic representation.
So, when a movie like 'Disconnect', came along in 2012, and had plots and themes dealing with the more gritty reality of how technology and social media affects and alters our lives, of course, it stayed under the radar. Despite a stellar ensemble cast and some very compelling writing, this movie just did not get the right kind of studio promotion or media hype to attract more attention.
Before we get started, a couple of caveats: This is not a "feel-good" movie. And, a multi-storyline, ensemble cast movie may not be your cuppa. So, you have been warned.
There are three intertwined and connected stories here – school-kids messaging on Facebook, taking a joke too far and pulling their respective parents in to deal with the consequences; a couple who recently lost a child and is subjected to identity theft and financial fraud through hacking; a minor-age porn-site sex worker and the ambitious TV reporter who interviews him and then tries to help him to get to a better life, rather clumsily.
Are these new stories? No. We've all read about kids being cruel to each other on Facebook. We've heard about nude selfies that go viral. We know about the kids who turn to porn. Check, also, for reporters who go too far and parents who are too busy to notice what's going on with their kids. As for hackers preying on lonely, unsuspecting chat-room users – one of the more popular archetypes in Hollywood now. All in all, these are fairly well-known tropes. However, this movie achieves the tricky feat of bringing all of them together to a) present them in reasonably fresh and interesting ways and b) render new depth, layers and perspectives to give both technophiles and technophobes some food for thought.
While there are some obvious real-life connections between each story, what really unites all of them is how the characters use online media for certain interactions (with various major and minor characters) and how those online interactions eventually alter the very nature of their personal real-life relationships. This is really the main message – if you choose to see it as such, although there is no such in-your-face insistence. Some critics have said that the movie was didactic in places but, if it really meant to give some kind of moral instruction, there would have been more resolution in the end. That the loose ends of each story are left hanging allows the audience to form their own opinions. One might also argue that, morality aside, each online interaction results in awful consequences, so there is no apparent redeeming quality or positivity to be gleaned. This would be a short-sighted and shallow takeaway because, for every tragic consequence shown, there is a, relatively speaking, positive impact also. The net result is, in the end, left to the audience. So, people will take away what their own biases or prejudices allow them to.
Each story splices into the other two as the characters are connected. This gives the characters more dimensions, and the transitions are handled skillfully and smoothly. Further, we get just enough of the lives and wants/needs of each character to help us vest in their future. There is none of that audience-pandering that is overdone in some movies – where the backstory details are lingered on more than necessary – as if the audience cannot be trusted to watch a movie on its own merit and must be led along carefully and throughout by an expert hand. For example, rather than dwelling on scenes/flashbacks/conversations between the couple who has lost their child, the storytelling focuses on how each is dealing with the aftermath through their online and real-life actions and interactions.
I must admit I had to look up the scriptwriter, Andrew Stern. And, color me surprised when I discovered that he had also written the rather insipid 2000 movie, 'Return to Me'. This work is very different and let's hope that Stern continues to give us more such (though, not, of course, more of the same).
The director, Henry Alex Rubin, has a respectable resume as well – decent commercials, appropriate awards, and, more importantly, hands-on experience with his mentor, James Mangold (known for 'Walk the Line' and 'Girl, Interrupted').
Let us now turn to the cast. There are plenty of highly-regarded names here: Jason Bateman (whose wide range continues to impress), Hope Davis (who could have done a lot more but was still luminous in every frame she showed up in), Alexander Skarsgård (who manages that balance between despair and rage better than anyone else I've seen do recently), Paula Patton, Frank Grillo, Andrea Riseborough (who I hadn't really paid much attention to till this movie even though she's done some really good work over in the UK), Michael Nyqvist and more. The younger cast is also well-pedigreed and gives nuanced, riveting performances: Max Thieriot, Jonah Bobo, Colin Ford, Aviad Bernstein et al. Oh, and, yes, Marc Jacobs, the fashion designer, has a small cameo towards the end. And, there's not much to say about it, given the limited screen time.
In terms of scene composition and cinematography, there are definitely some of those avant-garde shots that I'm not a huge fan of – you know, that home movie style with window frames, trees or people obstructing views. Yes, this is meant to be natural because, more often than not, that's what happens in real life. But, it was sometimes overdone and not always necessary. For example, a scene where a father confronts the two school-kids about their Facebook messaging did not really have to be shot from outside the house, through the window or, at least, I didn't see the need for it when the related scenes just before and after it were shot normally inside the house.
I really like what they did with the climactic end scenes in taking us back and forth across the three stories. That was both good storytelling and good editing. This last part, if one has not accepted the stories, themes and premises, might seem melodramatic. I thought it was just right, including the handful of brief slow motion shots. All the tension, emotions, anxiety of the major characters is released – well, sort of (I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it).
So, a big thumbs up to this movie. If you're looking forward to Jonze's 'Her', I recommend watching this first. And, if this theme of the "side-effects of technology" intrigues you, try the excellent UK TV series, 'Black Mirror'.
*/Start Minor Rant/*
And, no, this is not the 'Crash' for the internet world. Please. Why does every dramatic multi-storyline, ensemble cast since 2004 have to be equated to it? Don't get me wrong, 'Crash' was ground-breaking. But, the main difference here is that victims vs offenders are very clearly delineated, which was not the case with 'Crash'. So, people, let's move on and let movies like 'Disconnect' stand, or fall, on their own merit.
*/End Minor Rant/*

Quest Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: QSFT) announced a new release of Quest® Site Administrator for SharePoint, a Microsoft SharePoint management solution, to include central reporting capabilities for SharePoint Online in Microsoft Office 365.
The product helps users understand, manage and secure multiple SharePoint installations from a single product whether on-premises, in the cloud, or a hybrid of both.
Site Administrator for SharePoint gives users an overview of their existing environment by providing metrics, trends and other insights into Office 365 usage, data growth, and storage distribution, which enables organizations to efficiently manage their SharePoint Online licenses.
As organizations adopt this technology, one key area of focus will be maximizing efficiencies. Quest's Site Administrator empowers SharePoint administrators to understand if that investment is being used, or needs to be expanded, by aggregating license and storage information from across all site collections and displaying it through centralized charts and reports.
As more organizations consider moving to SharePoint Online, many will deploy proof-of-concept and pilot projects that result in hybrid environments, spanning both on-premise and cloud deployments. Site Administrator makes it easy for businesses to centrally monitor and manage their environments regardless of whether SharePoint is based on-premises, online, or both.
Supporting Quotes:
Bill Evans, vice president and general manager, SharePoint business unit, Quest Software
"With this first-to-market Office 365 reporting capability, Quest Site Administrator for SharePoint will help IT managers be confident as they take the first step to the cloud. This single tool helps them understand and manage their existing on-premise environments and prepare for migrations to SharePoint Online in Office 365. Once there, users will better understand the value of their new environments, fostering maturity and growth in the market for hybrid and cloud environments."
Kristina Kerr, group product manager for SharePoint, Microsoft Corp.
"Quest Site Administrator for SharePoint provides customers with a quick view of the way Office 365 subscription resources are being used. SharePoint customers can use it to aggregate data from across multiple site collections to produce an easy-to-view report which helps them maximize their investment in Office 365."
