The Whisky Shop is set to launch its flagship store in London's Piccadilly on 22 November 2012.
The new store, situated across from The Ritz, is aiming to take high street whisky retailing to a new level by offering customers a new and unrivalled experience.
The ambitious project is supported in store by world class displays from Pernod Ricard and Whyte & Mackay and brings the number of Whisky Shops in the UK to 21.
Andrew Torrance, Managing Director of The Whisky Shop, said: "This is a very exciting development and we believe that whisky deserves to have this platform. We want to offer customers a very different retailing experience that is both accessible and can serve the needs of the most discerning whisky customer.
"The new store reflects the continuing success story of whisky and will combine prestigious and super premium whisky offerings with the high service standards that customers have come to expect from The Whisky Shop."
The flagship Piccadilly store will include a vast whisky library stocking over 400 whiskies as well as an information bar using iPad technology to lead the customer through their whisky journey and to help with their understanding of Scotch.
The store will also offer some of the most exclusive whiskies in the world including Royal Salute, 'Tribute to Honour', one of the most opulent and rarest of blends in the world of which there are only 21 bottles. Priced at £150,000, the whisky is presented in a spectacular bejewelled bottle, embellished by royal jeweller Garrard in flawless diamonds and shimmering gold.
The Dalmore Constellation Collection, priced at £158,000, consists of 21 individual expressions of some of the world's rarest single malts created at the Highland Distillery between the years 1964 and 1992.
The expressions have spent their lives finessing in the finest casks from across the globe before being bottled at natural cask strength and at natural colour.
Simon van Moppes, Commercial Director at Pernod Ricard UK, said: "We are very pleased to be associated with The Whisky Shop and the new opening at 70 Piccadilly. We believe strongly that our partnership with The Whisky Shop will provide an unrivalled retail experience where consumers can really engage with whisky in the heart of the Capital. Premium whisky is enjoying growth and this is the perfect environment to showcase our brands like Chivas, The Glenlivet and Royal Salute."
David Brown, Whyte & Mackay Sales Director, commented: "The Piccadilly store will be a must visit destination for all whisky lovers. Everything from the store layout to the consumer interaction provided by the knowledgeable staff and interactive tasting displays, really sets a high standard for whisky retailing."
The Whisky Shop's flagship store is located at 70 Piccadilly, London and can be contacted on 0141 427 2977 or firstname.lastname@example.com

All it proves is that those topics are so obscure, they couldn't find much other information online. Nonetheless, it entertains me. And, with those links and $5, I could probably get a Frappuccino®.

- Description
All Farndon crankshafts are designed and manufactured to your exact needs; they are produced in house, from the very best material.Material:
Farndon's steel supplier is Corus. Corus is one of the worlds leading producers of alloy and aircraft steels. Material is manufactured to the highest cleanliness and quality standards, exceeding the minimum requirements of the British standards.
Their experience over many years has shown Corus material most suited to the manufacturer of crankshafts. Cleanliness means rejections, due to steel defects are minimal. Ultrasonic examination is carried out on the rolled bar after heat treatment to ensure there is no cracking.
The sulphur content is controlled to give good mach inability and minimize the risks of sulphides causing problems with finished components.
We believe this contributes significantly to producing high quality crankshafts.Heat treatment:
All Farndon crankshafts are heat treated to raise the core strength of the crankshaft. The procedure we use is dependant on the application of the engine.Nitriding:
The crankshafts are Nitrided for 72 hours (unless otherwise stated by the customer). This procedure gives the crankshaft a case depth of min .5mm to .6mm and a minimum hardness of 750HV. The benefit of this is to give the crankshaft a much harder wearing surface.
All Farndon EN40B steel crankshafts are manufactured from solid steel billet. Farndon are also able to manufacture any crankshaft on a one-off basis. Please enquire if your application is not listed.Ford CVH

Monday Morning Offering - 82
Coffee in the Morning by George Mendoza
Good morning, good God!
Well, it happened on Saturday
and then again, early yesterday morning,
at odd moments when, truth be told,
my mind was somewhere else...
Both times it happened in a way
I know was not of my own making,
not of my own invention or even
my own desire...
I wasn't looking for you,
I wasn't thinking of you,
but it happened nonetheless:
I found you - or did you find me?
For a moment I sensed your presence,
I knew you were near,
that you were patiently waiting to get my attention,
that you'd been there all along,
that you'd never left my side,
that you were here...
In those two moments
I found a peace I've not found
for a long time...
It was your peace,
the peace of your presence...
Have I avoided your peace?
Have I turned away from you?
Have I denied your presence?
Have I looked for you?
Have I missed all the ways
you've shown yourself to me?
Have we been, you and I,
like two ships passing in the night?
No, that image fails:
you have not passed me by,
you have sailed alongside me
all the time...
It's what Augustine wrote, Lord:
You were within me, but I was outside,
and it was there that I searched for you...
You were with me, but I was not with you...
But on Saturday and early on Sunday morning,
I knew your presence beside me,
perhaps even, within me...
I knew, at least for a moment,
for two moments,
that you were with me
and I was with you...
How such moments come, Lord,
I don't pretend to know...
How many such moments I've missed, Lord,
are likely too many for me to count...
How patient you are in waiting for me
is more than I can fathom...
But it happened twice, Lord,
and I cannot let the memory go...
In those moments
I knew you were near,
that you were patiently waiting to get my attention,
that you'd been there all along,
that you'd never left my side,
that you were there as you've always been,
as you always are,
as you always will be...
So this morning, Lord,
I offer you my thanks for your patient waiting,
your faithful vigil for my attention,
your gentle way of being there without crowding me,
of tracing my steps without hounding me,
of staying with me
even when I try to walk away from you...
And I offer you my hope, Lord,
that such moments will come more often
and that I will look for them
and not miss them,
that I will make time for them,
make a place for them
(that I will make time for you
and make a place for you)
in my day, in my night and in my heart...
Help me be as gentle as are you, Lord,
with those around me, whose paths cross mine:
may I do nothing to distract them
from the moments of presence
that you have prepared for them...
I offer you the peace and the presence I found
on Saturday and early Sunday morning:
show yourself, Lord, and help me look for you
today, tonight
and every day this week...
5 comments:
I love this prayer! It is so appropriate to my experience, too. Missing the moments, and then regretting it and wanting to go back and grab them back, but it is too late.ReplyDelete
I especially liked the part about not being distracting to other folks, not to deprive them of their moments in the presence of God.
Thank you for posting this.
I have had moments such as you describe. Personally, I would be terribly hurt if someone who claimed to love me, gave me the scant amount of attention I give to Jesus,compared to the attendance I afford His created objects.ReplyDelete
I am so glad He remains faithful to unfaithful ones, such as myself.
Like you, I would desire more moments of intimacy, but do I go to meet Him, with any urgency?
Lovely words Father, evoking identifiable experiences for many, I am sure.
Thank you Father for this prayer. I found myself reflecting on your words and appreciating your wisdom. I join with you in prayer today.....ReplyDelete
Thankyou Father. You wrote what I felt and thought. Thanks.ReplyDelete
Came here via a search for Knots prayer, & the coffee cup art at your profile on top caught me eye & I'm glad to have scrolled down to see the credit & am heading over to compliment the artist!ReplyDelete

"The Unbroken Circle" Evokes Memories for Landscape Architecture Student Duo
After completing their final exams for the spring semester, most students headed for home, vacation or the start of a summer job. Wilson Lee and Tom Wenner, incoming third-year landscape architecture students, had different plans—they entered an international competition. Their entry, "The Unbroken Circle" earned them both a High Commendation and a second place in the People's Choice category at the SLANT Open International Landscape Design Competition 2013, titled Evoking Memories.
SLANT is an international organization that seeks to provide opportunities for creative achievement. Their competitions are open to anyone, professional or amateur. "Tom and I entered the competition to see how one works and feels compared to our normal studio routine," Lee says. "We really wanted to see how well we could apply what we already know in the world of landscape architecture." The criterion for Evoking Memories was to create a virtual garden, designing in a geographical, topographical, climatic and cultural environment of the competitor's choosing http://www.slant.eu/festival.html [2].
Lee and Wenner's concept was that everyone has lost someone. "The Unbroken Circle" is space that evokes memories of those missed, lost, or no longer in our lives. Through a contrast of unity and separation, the absence of human presence in this site helps people to remember those missing and why they were special. The students chose a site near the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), a border created in 1953 after the end of the Korean War, which separated thousands of families. "We tried to isolate a memory that is relatable to everyone, in this case, loss of a loved one," Wenner explains. "The Korean DMZ was a perfect location for this because of the fact that the separation and loss that has occurred is still happening today."
Eliza Pennypacker, professor of landscape architecture, served as mentor and advisor to Lee and Wenner. "I was really excited when Wilson and Tom invited me to work with them," Pennypacker says. "I was not only impressed that they chose to do this project just at the end of a challenging semester, but that they discovered the opportunity on their own. The guys worked hard, and it is great to see their ideas develop and receive recognition."
Tom Wenner, a resident of Hershey, is a transfer student from the University of California, Davis, who came to Penn State because of the Department of Landscape Architecture's national reputation. "I found Penn State was the ideal school for me to learn this profession," Wenner says. "The resources and opportunities the school provides its students are incredible."
Wilson Lee, a native of Philadelphia, credits his success in the competition to his experience at Penn State. "Knowing that I was able to achieve such a high honor after just two years of college proves to me that Penn State is doing something right with the kind of skills and concepts that have become entrenched in my head," Lee says. "The connections and opportunities at my disposal are absolutely magnificent. I can't imagine how I'd be able to do this competition without all the resources of the Stuckeman Family Building.

Royal pair defend the crown on Starz' White Queen'
NEW YORK (AP) — As Woody Allen would famously declare five centuries later, "The heart wants what it wants."
That goes double when you're England's dashing young King Edward IV, who, after he and Elizabeth Woodville meet cute on a forest trail, realizes he simply must have her.
Elizabeth is sweet on Edward, too. But she draws the line at being just the latest of his majesty's sexual conquests.
What can Edward, who confesses "I'm mad for you," do to win her over? He asks for her hand.
Thus begins the saga of "The White Queen," a 10-episode drama premiering Saturday at 8 p.m. EDT on Starz (with a preview airing on Friday at 10 p.m. EDT).
Adapted from the historical novel "The Cousins' War" and its sequels, this series is more than a moony romance. Beginning in 1464, it finds Edward leading the House of York in a battle royal with his own family's House of Lancaster. Nothing less than the throne is at stake.
This imbroglio is further aggravated by Edward's impetuous marriage. Not only is Elizabeth a commoner with two young sons, but also the widow of a Lancastrian who died in the struggle against Edward.
Can Edward prevail in this War of the Roses? Will his love of Elizabeth survive all the obstacles?
"The consequences of this marriage were seismic — alienating allies and creating enemies," said Max Irons, who stars as the starry-eyed monarch. "But Edward was capable of dealing with them."
So was Elizabeth, a woman who is as tough and politically savvy as she is beautiful.
History holds all the spoilers to the series' major questions, but no rote account does justice to the on-screen crackle between Edward and Elizabeth, who, as played by Irons and Rebecca Ferguson, are the summer's reigning It pair.
In a recent joint interview, both actors laughed nervously at that characterization.
"I don't think it's very healthy to think of yourselves as the next hot screen couple," said Irons, who, in what they both insist is mere coincidence, is clad like Ferguson in fashionable black slacks and top.
"To me, it doesn't feel like a love story per se," said Ferguson, who this day exhibited her natural state as a brunette, not the titian tresses of her character, but radiated the alabaster skin Edward fell for. "There's so much more happening!"
That said, pairing Edward with the right Elizabeth was crucial to the project's success.
"We had to do chemistry tests," said Irons, the 27-year-old son of veteran stage-and-screen star Jeremy Irons whose credits include the films "Red Riding Hood," ″The Host," and the upcoming "Vivaldi" (in which he plays the title role of the famed 18th-century composer). Irons was cast first.
The Swedish-born Ferguson, 29, recalled first meeting him in front of the director, producers and other power brokers.
"I think I actually said, 'I'm so nervous I barely know my name,'" she laughed. "You said, 'I'm a bit nervous, too.' And that disarmed the situation."
"By that stage I'd seen about 10 other actresses," said Irons. "Some of them looked right, some looked wrong. But the one thing that no one else really got was what makes this story so extraordinary: how a woman can navigate the political environment and survive. Elizabeth Woodville did that very skillfully.
"And that was at the heart of the scene," he said to Ferguson, "that you were asked to prepare: the delicacy with which Elizabeth had to walk that line, to manipulate Edward without his realizing he was being manipulated. It was so clear after the first audition that you had that instinct."
Ferguson was called back for a second audition, then a third, while Irons was offering her his encouragement as the process dragged on.
"We were texting quite a lot," she said.
"And you were telling me how you'd given up."
"Yeah, I had," she admitted. "And the worst thing was, I loved the character. She was someone I wanted to embody, and the idea that I might not get to made me sad."
Then Ferguson was summoned for costuming and further screen tests. Even so, she still felt uncertain.
"There were others still being considered, and some of them were terrible," Irons recalled. "My heart was always on you."
"You spoke to me in general about the others," said Ferguson, "but you didn't run them down. I liked that. It made me feel safe. I figured I could work with you."
The biggest challenge to working together? Their sex scenes, they answered in unison.
"We're very comfortable with each other," said Ferguson, "but getting naked in front of each other —"
″ — and 30 other people —" added Irons.
″ — was a bit awkward."
"Everything in those scenes was choreographed," noted Irons.
"We had our own wishes about how it should be shot. I wanted my arms up constantly, so they would look in good shape," said Ferguson as Irons chimed in, "I wanted CGI muscles!
"When you see those scenes," he summed up majestically, "just know that those are the things we're thinking about."

The game of shuffleboard has been enjoyed for over five centuries, in one form or another. Once outlawed by King Henry VIII, the game is now played by many people, royalty and commoners alike. The basic rules of the game are simple.
Before you begin playing the game, you may want to apply shuffleboard dust to the table surface to cover dry spots and allow the weights to easily slide down the table. Under tournament rules, you must keep one foot behind the board surface, and shaking or hitting the table is prohibited.
Coin flips determine at which end of the board play begins and which player shoots last (often thought to be an advantage and called the "hammer" ), the player shooting first having the choice of weight color. Once play begins, players take turns shooting until they have used all four of their weights.
To score, determine which player has a weight closest to the end of the board. That player then adds together the scores for all of their weights that are ahead of their opponent's weights (or closest to the end of the board). A weight landing between the short foul line and the "2" line counts 1 point; a weight landing between the "2" line and the "3" line counts 2 points; a weight landing across the "3" line counts 3 points. A "hanger" – a weight that hangs over the end of the board – counts 4 points. Only one player can score in a given round.
After points are counted, play resumes on the opposite end of the table, with the player scoring points on the previous round shooting first. If no one scores points, the person shooting last in the previous round shoots first. Play continues in this fashion until a player reaches 15 points.
There are a number of variations to standard shuffleboard play. Once you have become comfortable playing the game, you may choose to play Crazy Eight or Horse Collar, to name only two alternatives. Shuffleboard is becoming a very popular addition to clubs and bars around the country, as well as a perfect addition to your game room at home. We recommend the Playcraft Telluride Shuffleboard Table.

Former Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum could have gone the way of so many of his co-workers, and even employers.
He could have passed the buck on the most talked-about decision of his tenure, the ill-fated trade for Tim Tebow. Owner Woody Johnson did, even though that buck (buck is the primary source of deer antler, by the way) ostensibly stops with him.
But Tannenbaum took the fall for this one, taking the blame for the deal himself.
"Once we met on it and talked about it, ultimately that was my decision to trade for Tim," Tannenbaum told Rich Cimini of ESPNNewYork.com.
Asked if he had to convince Johnson of the deal, Tannenbaum repeatedly put the onus on himself.
"I had a great working relationship with both Woody and Rex [Ryan]," he said. "Anytime we'd make a decision on something like this, we'd talk about it, discuss the pros and cons and ultimately it was my decision. I've always said that.
"For seven years, I had final say on everything. That was an honor and a privilege and a responsibility I totally embraced — whether it was trading for Tim Tebow or trading up for Darrelle Revis or trading for Brett Favre and everything in between. Ultimately, I had the final say on things."
Tannenbaum referred to it as "just a trade that didn't work out," which is kind of like saying "beer is occasionally available in New Orleans."
Tannenbaum said the idea initially stemmed from their desire to replace Brad Smith as their run-option quarterback, and the hiring of Tony Sparano with Wildcat background made it seem like a perfect fit.
"We thought there was a role for him," Tannenbaum said. "Working with Rex every day, and seeing the way the league has evolved with the ball being in the quarterback's hands and making plays with your feet, we thought it would give us a chance to make our offense more dynamic. It just didn't work out that way."
Considering Tebow played just 75 snaps of offense, and never had as much impact as he created distraction, that might be the understatement of the week.

Revival on the River
Posted by Christy Robbins at 10:47 PM 2 comments
Labels: Brazil, Faith, Personal 'Stuff', Travel
The Antiques Roadshow in Tulsa
We then headed out to Jenks (more advice), a suburb along the Arkansas River (that runs throughout Tulsa). We ate at Los Cabos. The queso was muy beauno. There were also more antique stores along old main street leading up to these river front restaurants, but most were closing at this time we arrived.
You take your item up to the appraiser, they look at it, tell you about it (sometimes, depending on the appraiser) and tell you what it's worth at auction. Usually appraisers cost money, and they might give you a brief snippet about your item, but then again, they don't have anything they are using for research so you just have to assume they have the info filed in their head. I saw a lot of ladies arguing with the value of their items. If the appraiser thinkss your object is interesting, they send you to a seat, and a producer comes to see you. This didn't happen to me, but I did see some people waiting in line, one had some silent movie reels. The producers came and they decided to film this lady, but they are just going to feature her online. "Just"....I know, it's more than I will be featured, but really, I'm already planning what I'll bring next time. As for this time, I have no regrets, I learned a lot about some items I've had for quite awhile. I have this painting, my Grandfather got it in Japan. He served in the Navy clean up efforts after WW2 . I learned that's Mount Fuji and this is a reverse glass painting (I'm still not sure on this because it looks like it's silk, but two people said it). The guy told me it's worth 25 dollars....uhhh...OK. Whatever, I wouldn't have sold it for anything because it's a piece of my Grandfather, but this appraiser and I shop at different places.
Next up, a surprise. I brought this because my brother asked me too. It's a lighter, also from my grandfather. He gave this to my brother. He got it in Japan, it's made out of American Beer cans due to the metal shortages at the time. Value-$50
Last up, and this is where things get weird. My Great, Great, Great Grandmother made the below peicture. It's about 2x3 feet. It's a flower wreath with a harp in the middle, well over a hundred year's old, winner of a blue ribbon in the state fair of Texas in the early 1900's, and completely made out of her children's hair. ...yup...hair art. I can't say this will ever make my list of projects to try, but I can also say when examinging it very closely, I don't think I could ever do anything this intricate if I wanted to pick it up.

Lady Bug Pretzel Bites....and Some Fun News
I will say these bugs have a bigger purpose I'll be posting about in a few weeks, and hopefully their home will be a cute one. These bugs are so easy to make. Pretzels, red, and milk chocolate...(and white chocolate if you want to add eyes, which is not necessary).
*One thing I've learned (and maybe I'm the last one on earth), but I put any left over chocolate in a ziplock bag, or a blob on wax paper. Once it dries, I dump it back into the bag to reheat for another project.
OK....and before I get to my news....when I got home today.....my chihuahua, Peanut, had found a pack of matches I had next to a candle and chewed them up. They were all over the carpet, and near his favorite spot to bury things....couch cushions. He's still alive to tell the story, but I am disturbed that my dog is playing with matches now, he's only two after all....lesson learned.

My Article in Today's Paper
Christy Robbins: Public schools should not fear religion Opinion, Commentary, Editorials, Op-Ed and Letters to the Editor - News for Dallas, Texas - The Dallas Morning News
In 2003, an elementary school student brought pens shaped like candy canes to a Plano ISD classroom to hand out at the annual holiday party. Attached to the pen was a legend about the candy cane, including symbolic biblical reasons for each marking to explain the Christmas story. The school would not allow him to hand these out. Eight years later, this battle is still rolling around the court system as First Amendment rights are evaluated.
Now, I'm a little foggy on whether the candy cane story is a fact-filled legend or just an old tale passed down through generations. All evidence points toward the candy cane legend being written to more clearly explain Christmas. After all, the candy cane is rarely a sermon topic in Christian churches. I've yet to come across candy cane references in the Bible.
I have, however, read many legends from various cultures and religious groups within the pages of Texas textbooks written to paint clearer pictures about circumstances and traditions important to cultures. And that's what people who have taken sides in this fight need to remember: The official Texas curriculum is full of legends, myths and fables that are used to impart a greater truth.
There are no court cases pending regarding the popular library book The Legend of the Bluebonnet. In that book, Native American spirits visit the hills of Texas and fill them with blue flowers because of a little girl's sacrifice.
If The Legend of the Candy Cane received a Bluebonnet Award, would it be classroom-approved?
Delving deeper into the candy cane case itself and what it represents is the line drawn between education and a student's right to share his or her religious celebrations. Sharing stories about why Christmas is celebrated falls under the umbrella of facts about a religion celebrated by people who live all over the world. "Multicultural studies," which encompass religious celebrations, is another Texas standard listed for all students to cover. Many districts set aside time to observe multicultural learning. So why do standards change when Christianity becomes one of the religions under study?
Comments in previous articles about the candy cane case reflect a misconception that Christians are the only ones asking for the right to observe, celebrate and share their customs freely in our schools. Not so. There are many public displays of various religious customs in Texas elementary schools. They look different, but each aligns with the particular group's customs and beliefs.
Local districts make accommodations for students to pray toward the east during school hours. Places are provided for students to gather when observing Ramadan, allowing these students to forego lunchroom visits. Special dietary needs are met through the district's meal planning for students with food restrictions based on their religion.
Sharing a religious story attached to a pen, praying before a football game or even using the word "prayer" instead of "moment of silence" is a hotly debated topic when you attach the name of Christ.
If you don't believe in the power of those prayers, why fear the effects? If Christmas is just a story, why suppress a student from sharing his religious beliefs?
If you want to prevent students from sharing personal beliefs and feelings with each other, we need to go to silent lunches and solitary recess.
There's just no reason to fear the spread of basic knowledge. After all, having knowledge of why Christmas is celebrated doesn't make you a Christian. It's believing Jesus died for your sins and placing your faith in Jesus that makes you a Christian.

Le Retreat...Part Four-A Huge Hodge Podge of Everything
Last week, I headed up to Gainesville for Le Retreat and scrapbooking/quilting/eating/educational discussions that will only help you if you ever compete in a television trivia game show.
This has become a fun summer tradition. I wrote all about it here, with lots of great house pictures...and town pictures, and several links to links to links on the subject....OK, I think that covers my point, but it's a great house. If you live in North Texas, or on planet earth, and like to craft, and have friends, I recommend this getting away thing with friends and gluesticks/sewing machines.
What I like most about retreating is laughing at things that would never be that funny if laughter wasn't contagious, but suddenly rival stand up comics in the company of friends. I like hearing each person's personal connections with various topics that arise. For instance, my friend Mary's mom stuffed olives for a living for a few years before heading to Oklahoma into the life of farming. This then lead into a lengthy pimento conversation, that lead to a google search on the inter'tube', that lead to me needing to order a pimento cheese sandwich for lunch one day.
Another fun side effect of retreats are things you see, things you learn, or random shared traditions. The lady that owns the house swung by when we arrived, and she had the above quilt top in her car for someone (long story). It is from 1923, and she uses it in one of the classes she teachers called "They spoke with their needles." In this case, a family member moved away, and each of the ladies in the family created a square from feed sack. Each signed her name, left some information, and often a picture that somehow represented her. Each member then embroidered their piece, and they were compiled together to send with the family member moving out of state to lay on her bed and keep her from feeling homesick.

It's consoling to know that Global warming really is no threat at all according to the politicians. The conspiracy theories are many and, of course, time will tell.

Garry Kasparov is a former World Chess Champion, leader of the pro-democracy opposition to Russian President Vladmir Putin, and Chairman of Human Rights Foundation. He will discuss his latest book, Winter Is Coming: Why Vladimir Putin and the Enemies of the Free World Must Be Stopped for a cocktail party and fundraiser at The Muses in Southhampton.
Few activists deserve honorable mention more than former State Trooper and Private Investigator Bob Olson. His bona fides are firmly rooted in Riverhead, a Long Island Town that has seen its share of promising development ideas but little in the way of sustained financial successes. Riverhead in general and Polish Town specifically, has been Olson's home and for several generations of his family.
The real-estate story in the Hamptons is murky. Since East End brokers tend to start telling the truth about business 3 or 4 quarters after reality is painfully obvious, it is safe to say that sales are very slow, prices are off by 30 to 50 percent (from 2006)— depending upon which Hampton and how exclusive the location is— and certain price ranges do not move at all.
There is significant more pain to come in the form of unemployment, evictions and bankruptcy for Main Street. In case you are not familiar with the term "Main Street" that means you, me, and everyone not working for Goldman Sachs, et al, and not qualified to receive government bailouts.
As previously reported in "Double-Dipping" (January 22nd, 2010), there is renewed interest in what we have been writing about. Actually, what has currently been written about is tame by comparison to what is going to happen. The median drop in housing prices across the country is roughly 30% off the peak. In reality, many areas have experienced reductions in housing prices of nearly 60%.

A business associate complained today that his house was falling into foreclosure, his credit-line second mortgage was in default, his credit cards were about to be charged-off, and he has been left, literally, with nothing of value.

Furious Customers Overwhelm Netflix
Netflix's phone lines are overloaded, its blog comments maxed out and its hate mail has become a trending topic on Twitter. All because of a $6 price hike.
Here's a recording of Netflix's overloaded customer service line turning away calls, via All Things Digital. And via the Wall Street Journal comes word that angry customers brought Netflix's blog post about the price hike to its 5,000 comment maximum. "Even a dog knows the difference between being tripped over and being kicked," read a comment with 338 "likes." Meanwhile, "Dear Netflix" became a trending topic on Twitter thanks to tweets telling the company to "fuck off!" and that "you suck baby dick" (wow).
People: Get a grip! We say this as someone who called Netflix an "evil... manipulative greaseball pig... bastard" the day before yesterday. It's all still true, because a 60 percent price hike is a terrible way to treat your customers. But when you get down to brass tacks, it's six freaking dollars a month, and the incumbent big alternatives (Comcast, DirecTV) are so, so much worse. Hell, $6 is how much extra you pay watching just two additional TV shows and one movie on an Apple TV.
So by all means, write a bitchy tweet, cancel your subscription if you must, but let's keep some perspective and leave baby dicks and Goldman Sachs-worthy swearing out of all this, OK?

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (June 16, 2009) - ETSU was one of 18 institutions or conferences which was selected by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) to receive a women's basketball grant as part of the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Grant Program, which is in its second year.
The 2009-10 NCAA grant program dedicated approximately $750,000 nationally to increase awareness, exposure and increase attendance of women's basketball.
In 2008-09, the Bucs received a $45,000 grant from the NCAA and ETSU was able to help grow awareness by increasing its average attendance by 231% and nearly tripling its single-game attendance record when nationally-ranked Vanderbilt came inside
ETSU now looks to continue its success and implement new ideas to create awareness of women's basketball after receiving a $55,000 grant in 2009-10.
"On behalf of the ETSU NCAA Women's Basketball Grant Team, I want to express sincere appreciation to the NCAA for awarding us the grant to promote Lady Buc Basketball for the second year," said Senior Associate Athletic Director Barbie Breedlove. "We knew the competition for grant money would be intense and we feel that the NCAA recognized our accomplishments by not only awarding us a grant in year two of the program, but by increasing the amount by $10,000. Sue Donohoe, Vice President for Women's Basketball, and her staff has walked the walk by rewarding the outstanding results produced by our Grant Team."
"We have already begun our work to promote Lady Buc Basketball in 2009-2010. Coach Kemp and her staff and student-athletes have made our job much easier by winning back-to-back Atlantic Sun Conference Championships and making consecutive trips to the NCAA Championship. We have a great program to promote and we are passionate about promoting Lady Buc Basketball."
A total of 75 member schools and conferences submitted proposals in the second year of the pilot program. National office staff and representatives from the NCAA women's basketball marketing consultant firm, Hawkeye Sports and Entertainment, evaluated the proposals.
"We are pleased with the success of many of last year's grant recipients and are excited to see what these new recipients are able to achieve with this assistance," said NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Vice President Sue Donohoe. "When resources are allocated and efforts are focused to promote women's basketball, it can provide a meaningful return on the investment."
Joining ETSU as 2009-10 grant recipients are Auburn University; Big South Conference; Cornell University; Eastern Michigan University; Iowa State University; Patriot League; San Diego State University, University of California, Los Angeles; University of California, Riverside; University of California, Santa Barbara; University of Hartford; University of Kansas; University of Miami (Florida); University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; University of South Carolina, Columbia; West Coast Conference and Western Athletic Conference.
The first year of the grant program went very well and we are anticipating more success in year two," said Donohoe. "The membership has had a tremendous interest in securing grant resources to advance women's basketball. It is important that we continue to work to grow women's basketball from the inside out and at the grass roots level."
The 2008-09 grant recipient success stories included
The program will be evaluated following its second year to determine if the objectives are being met. Grants are awarded on a one-year basis and are not automatically renewed. ETSU, the Patriot League and

Although the 2005 Code-change cycle often included lively debate on the use of non-shielded cables at 4.16kV and 2.4kV, in the end, the majority of the members of Code-Making Panel 6 (CMP-6) voted to modify the exception to 310.6 (2002 version), which had allowed for the use of non-shielded cables at these voltage levels. The revised exception now allows for the use of 2.4kV non-shielded cables only if three conditions are met (Sidebar below). The end result of this change is that installing non-shielded cables to be operated on a 4.16kV system is now prohibited. Accordingly, Table 310.63 has been modified to reflect the new maximum operating voltage of 2.4kV.
Why the change? Some members of CMP-6 felt that non-shielded cables posed a significant threat to safety. Other members of the panel felt non-shielded cable is safe and effective when properly installed by trained and qualified personnel. Manufacturers of these cables presented data that indicated personnel could be at risk if they neglected safety considerations. In the end, the panel members decided it was best to limit the voltage level for non-shielded cables to 2.4kV, with exception.
The two most important concerns at 4.16kV are standing line voltage and line faults. Both can cause the outside of a non-shielded cable to develop a potential, which could pose a danger to anyone who touches it. One concern is that when a 5kV non-shielded cable is operated at 4.16kV, the surface of the cable isn't at zero potential. A standing voltage always exists and could, under certain conditions, be high enough to pose a danger to anyone who comes in contact with it.
A second concern is that if a non-shielded cable fails, the cable's jacket could become energized and the relay protecting the cable might not trip out of service. If a person were to grab a faulted cable, they could create a path to ground, which could easily result in injury or death. The conductive layer in the shield provides a return path to ground. If a fault does occur, relays can detect the current flow in that layer and de-energize the cable.
Functions of shielding. Shielding of an electric power cable is the practice of confining the electric field of the cable to the insulation of the conductor. This is accomplished by means of strand and insulation shields. A strand shield is employed to preclude excessive voltage stress on voids between conductor and insulation. To be effective, it must adhere to or remain in intimate contact with the insulation under all conditions.
An insulation shield has a number of functions that are meant to:
Confine the electric field within the cable.
Obtain symmetrical radial distribution of voltage stress within the dielectric, thereby minimizing the possibility of surface discharges by precluding excessive tangential and longitudinal stresses.
Protect cable connected to overhead lines or otherwise subject to induced potentials.
Limit radio interference.
Reduce the hazard of shock. If not grounded, the hazard of shock may be increased.
Where the insulation isn't protected by a metallic covering or shield, the electric field will be partly in the insulation and partly in whatever lies between the insulation and ground. The external field, if sufficiently intense in air, will generate surface discharge and convert atmospheric oxygen into ozone, which may be destructive to rubber insulation materials and protective jackets.
If the surface of the cable is separated from ground by a thin layer of air and the air gap is subjected to a voltage stress that exceeds the dielectric strength of air, a discharge will occur and cause ozone formation. The ground may be a metallic conduit, a damp non-metallic conduit, metallic binding tape or rings on an aerial cable, or a loose metallic sheath.
Damage to non-shielded cable may result when the surface of the cable is moist or covered with soot, soapy grease, or other conducting film, and the external field is partly confined by such conducting film so that the charging current is carried by the film to some spot where it can discharge to ground. The resultant intensity of discharge may be sufficient to cause the insulation or jacket material to burn.
How to properly ground shielded cable. To ensure positive continuity from one end of the cable to the other, the shielding of each cable should be grounded at both ends and at each splice. Where grounding conductors are part of the cable assembly, cable manufacturers recommend that the shielding be effectively grounded at both ends of the cable. For short lengths of cable, or where special bonding arrangements are used, grounding at only one point may be satisfactory. However, if operating conditions permit, it's desirable to bond and ground cable shields at more than one point to improve the reliability and safety of the circuit. This decreases the reactance to fault currents and increases the human safety factor.
The following single conductor cables that carry alternating current may, in general, be operated with multi-shield grounds:
Shielded cables up to and including 250 kcmil conductors with phases in separate ducts.
Shielded cables installed with all three phases in the same duct.
Cables of any size, provided allowance is made for heating due to current induced in the shield. Cables that carry direct current may always be solidly grounded at more than one point, except where insulating joints are required to isolate earth currents or to permit cathodic protection.
All grounding connections should be made to the cable shield in such a way as to provide a permanent low-resistance bond. A soldered connection is typically preferable to a mechanical clamp, because it presents less potential for a poor connection or loosening. The area of contact should be large enough to prevent the current from heating the connection and melting the solder. For additional security, a mechanical device, such as a nut and bolt, may be used to fasten the ends of the connection. This combination of a soldered and mechanical connection provides a permanent low-resistance path, which will maintain contact even if the solder happens to melt. Make sure the wire or strap used to connect the cable shield ground connection to the permanent ground is of ample size to carry fault currents.
Effects of grounding metallic shields. As previously noted, the metallic coverings of cables must be grounded to provide satisfactory operating and safety conditions. Because the method of grounding may affect the current-carrying capacity of the cable, apply the formulas that can be found in a manufacturer's handbook for calculating losses and correcting the current-carrying capacity for those losses.
Installation of shielded single-conductor cables must be studied to determine the best method of grounding, because voltage is induced in the shield of a single-conductor cable that carries alternating current caused by the mutual induction between its shield and any other conductors in its vicinity. This induced voltage can result in the following two conditions:
If metal shields are bonded or grounded at more than one point, circulating currents can flow through them. The magnitude of the currents depends on the mutual inductance to the other cables, the current in these conductors, and the resistance of the shield. This circulating current doesn't depend on the length of the cables or the number of bonds, provided there are bonds at each end of the cable. This circulating current heats the shield, which thereby reduces the effective current-carrying capacity of the cable. If the shield loss exceeds 5% of the copper loss, the current-carrying capacity of the cable should be reduced.
Shields bonded or grounded at only one point will create a voltage build-up along the shield. The magnitude of this voltage depends on the mutual inductance to the other cables, the current in all the conductors, and the distance to the grounded point. This voltage may cause unwanted electrical discharge or create an unsafe condition for a field worker. A safe potential is considered to be 25V for cables with a nonmetallic covering over the shield.
In the end, this change to 310.6 makes it clear that medium-voltage cables that operate at 4.16kV and higher must be shielded. The motivation for the change was the safety of personnel working in and around these cables. However, training of personnel is still important to the proper installation of medium-voltage cables — it just shouldn't be relied on as a replacement for shielded cables.

Sidebar: To Shield or Not to Shield?
As noted in 310.6 of the 2005 NEC, "Solid dielectric insulated conductors operated above 2000 volts in permanent installations shall have ozone-resistant insulation and shall be shielded. All metallic insulation shields shall be grounded through an effective grounding path meeting the requirements of 250.4(A)(5) or 250.4(B)(4). Shielding shall be for the purpose of confining the voltage stresses to the insulation."
"Exception: Nonshielded insulated conductors listed by a qualified testing laboratory shall be permitted for use up to 2400 volts under the following conditions:
"(a) Conductors shall have insulation resistant to electric discharge and surface tracing, or the insulated conductors(s) shall be covered with a material resistant to ozone electric discharge, and surface tracking.
"(b) Where used in wet locations, insulated conductor(s) shall have an overall nonmetallic jacket or a continuous metallic sheath.
"(c) Insulation and jacket thickness shall be in accordance with Table 310.63."
Sidebar: Concerns Related to Training
Some members of Code-Making Panel 6, as well as many other people, have concerns related to proper training for persons who install, troubleshoot, and work in and around medium-voltage cables. Some panel members felt that the solution in revising 310.6 of the 2005 NEC wasn't to omit the use of 4.16kV operating voltage, but to ensure that the persons working with these cables are properly trained. The benefit would be trouble-free installations, which are safe for personnel. The only problem with that concept is the concern over a declining level of training for this application. When training is provided, it can't be guaranteed that the training will be effective.

I've been working on items for my upcoming show, Junk Salvation and will have a couple of these for sale there. It is coming up fast and I added a coupon at the end of this post for $1 off admission on Saturday. The show is Friday, February 1st 6-9 and Saturday, February 2nd 10-4. If you are in the area you don't want to miss this one!
I mentioned in a previous post that I had moved my french bottle rack into the dining room. One of my chalkboards propped behind it makes a nice vignette. I had wine on my mind since I made pizza for dinner. Enjoy! xoxo
I added some jute to the hinge on this old cabinet door and tied some chalk on the end for easy access. I decided to add a couple of my tulips from my kitchen post to one of my petite french bottles since as you can see they have opened up and are almost done.
Another thing I wanted to share with you is this lovely chair that I bought last week at, of all places, Costco. I decided to walk down the sofa isle, since I really want new furniture in my living room and am so glad I did because I spotted this beauty and for cheaper than I've seen this kind of chair anywhere else:)
Make sure you print this coupon if you are heading to the Junk Salvation show and I will also post it on my sidebar and Facebook page as well.

On March 1st, the morning chapel service was led by the Salvation Army. We heard from Major Susan Naua, who is a Salvation Army officer, but also a rural women from Papua New Guinea. Here are the inspirational words that she shared with us.
I would like to thank you for the immense privilege that has been given to me to speak to this special gathering. I am grateful to those who have made this possible for me. It is an honour for me to represent Papua New Guinea and The Salvation Army.
The text for me is an ugly text. Exodus 1:15-22 tells the terrible story of an Egyptian pharaoh feeling threatened by the growing numbers of Hebrews living in his land, who issues an order to the midwives that they intervene so that all baby boys should be killed. This order was not obeyed so he issues another order to his own people that Hebrew baby boys should be drowned.
This is not the only such story to be found in the Bible. In the text we choose not to read so often in the Christmas story Herod, also afraid of losing his power, sends out an order that all boys aged two and under should be killed.
And this kind of story has been repeated in most cultures and communities throughout history, either because parents cannot afford to feed any more children, or governments choose to limit the population, or because girl children demand a dowry and are too expensive to keep, or because of ethnic cleansing — and I could go on with reasons.
It is interesting to me that these two Bible stories occur around the birth of someone very special — in this story, Moses, who was not drowned but put into a special basket, which saved him. Or in the Herod story, the Son of God is born. God arranged for Jesus to be taken to Egypt, of all places, to be safe.
The stories tell of people who feel they have a right to do a terrible thing: to stop a whole generation, to kill the innocent, to assume that certain actions are permitted, if you are powerful enough. Something quite terrible goes on in the heart of anyone who could issue such a decree and allow the killing of babies in whatever form it takes.
I come from Papua New Guinea where 43 babies die out of every thousand born. Our babies are not killed by political leaders but the deaths occur because of ignorance, poor health, poor communications and lack of trained helpers.
I am glad that the Exodus story mentions midwives all over the world who are committed to seeing women through this child-bearing experience, who are making it possible for new life to come into our world, who herald in the next generation with its hope and opportunity, and countless possibilities.
In Papua New Guinea we have too many young girls who are pregnant. The reasons for the pregnancies are for another discussion and another forum. Most of our country is made up of rural villages distanced from one another by mountainous terrain. The young mothers-to-be are nowhere near anyone who knows how to help them. We have too few rural health centres, and any roads we have are so bad that girls cannot travel to health workers who could be with them at a time when they are most needed. Lessons on what will happen at the time of labour are not taught. Too many of these young girls go to the outskirts of the village and squat down to try to give birth on their own with no-one to help them – giving birth on a dirt floor, tired, frightened and experiencing pain they have never known before.
The Salvation Army in Papua New Guinea has now undertaken the mammoth task of training rural women in village settings to understand basic midwifery, so that a young mother has someone with her who will help her and tell her what to do.
Midwives are pivotal to child-birth. They were at the time of Exodus and they always have been. Other things, important at such a time where possible, are clean water, a clean room and electricity, or at least some kind of lighting.
The Millennium Development Goals number four to reduce child mortality is important to us but the task seems so big. We feel like Moses did when God gave him his life's work, 'Who am I that I should bring the Israelites out of Egypt?'
And we say, 'How can we help all these mothers, we are a small group in Papua New Guinea and we do not have the resources we need?' God told Moses that he would be with him and provide for him, and, as on so many other occasions in the Bible, that made a difference. We are not the only ones taking on this task. There are many other groups in Papua New Guinea challenged to deal with the problems.
For me, the verse in the next chapter brings me hope. Exodus 2:23-4 says this, 'The Israelites cried out and their cry went up to God. . . God heard their groaning and remembered his covenant to Abraham'
The text said they cried out about their slavery but I suggest their cries were concerning every part of their lives, which were oppressed and unfair, and their cries were also for the fact that their babies had been slaughtered. And God heard them crying.
I believe God still hears the cry of the destitute, the enslaved, and the grieving mother, and chooses to call people to move with compassion on his behalf.
Sometimes they are midwives, doctors, teachers or lawyers. Sometimes they are people who work in this building – aware of the needs of the world and with a voice to speak on behalf of those with no voice and little chance of ever having a voice that will be heard.
I pray that God will bless you in the work you do here, that you may continue to learn more about the needs of our world, and that you may have the courage to ask the questions that need to be asked, and challenge ignorance and tyranny, repression and cruelty.
Here is my prayer for you all:
May the Lord disturb you and trouble you;
May the Lord set an impossible task before you and dare you to meet it;
May the Lord give you the strength to do your best;
And then, and only then, may the Lord grant you his peace.
