As if Tanna isn't already doing enough, she's got a new thing – Project Cornlight! This is her latest let's-see-what-I-can-do-to-make-the-world-a-better-place venture.
There was a scandal a few years ago with the Iowa film commission that involved misappropriation of funds. Bad stuff! In the wake of that, work for Iowa filmmakers dried up and a lot of filmmakers left the state to find work elsewhere.
Enter Tanna, who snagged Kimberly Busbee, (director of the International Wild Rose Independent Film Festival and owner of AriesWorks Entertainment) to spearhead Project Cornlight, as well as John Busbee, festival manager for Wild Rose and producer of the Culture Buzz – http://www.culturebuzz.com – a weekly radio show and culture media network. The Wild Rose Festival is in its tenth year.
Here's Project Cornlight's mission statement: "Project Cornlight's MISSION is to expand the film and performing arts industries in Iowa; to foster Iowa filmmakers, actors and writers; to give Iowans the opportunity to work with and learn from Hollywood professionals and to stimulate the economy and tourism by growing artistically strong and commercially viable feature films from the Heartland.
Project Cornlight will develop professional creative arts projects which utilize Iowa resources for locations, talent, crew, screenings, performances and presentations. These actions will create Iowa jobs and stimulate economic activity as Project Cornlight encourages new opportunities for Iowa's creative workers.
Future plans for Project Cornlight include a series of films, stage productions, industry workshops and a screenplay competition in which an Iowa-connected writer will have his or her script selected for development into a feature film."
They recently completed shooting their first movie, "The Farm." which was written by Richard Schinnow, who hails from Rock Falls, Iowa. It's about "a woman returning to the family farm after living in the big city. Having left behind a child to be raised by her parents and her grandfather now ill, she is about to learn… the road home is not going to be on any map."
Award-winner Ron Vignone is the director ("The Back Nine," "Say I Do") Tanna Frederick is in the lead role and it also stars Tom Bower ("Crazy Heart," "The Killer Inside Me"), Joel West ("Heroes," "CSI: Miami") and Rylie Behr ("Impulse"). The cast and crew are rounded out by about 300 locals. How cool is that?
I can't wait to see it.
Check out their website at http://projectcornlight.org.
Thank you, Tanna, for once again, seeing a need and fulfilling it. I'm positive that Project Cornlight is going to be wildly successful.

Ever imagined wearing a dress made out of paper? House-Wear, a truly imaginative brand founded by artist Laura Sansone is all about eco-fashion, but in a different way than what you may have seen before. Laura's cheeky and light-as-a-feather PAPER WEAR line is made out of Tyvek, a material which is usually reserved for mailing envelopes! Not only do these clever garments "push the envelope" by using a familiar material in a new and exciting way (something we love here at Inhabitat), but the trompe l'oeil look is spot-on in terms of what's hot right now in fashion.
House-Wear first caught our eye at D&A's Green Room this year with their artful "clothing trees." Instead of leaves, white and silver PAPER WEAR jackets, dresses and even pants adorned these structures which served double duty as a decorative element. Upon further inspection, we were intrigued by the experimental nature of these alternative garments and decided to learn more.
Why Tyvek? In terms of sustainability, Laura wanted to use a material that is easy to recycle and light to ship. Although the Tyvek that Laura uses for her garments is not recycled (hopefully this is in their plans for the future), it is very recyclable. House-Wear sends all of their manufacturing scraps and waste to the Tyvek Recycling Center in Richmond, VA and encourages everyone who buys PAPER WEAR to do the same when they are done wearing them. House-Wear is also produced locally in upstate New York in a small studio instead of in a big factory. Laura and her team hand-print each garment with non-toxic dyes, so no two are exactly alike.
But what about actually wearing the garments? At first, we were concerned about how the Tyvek would feel against our skin. Would it be crinkly? We can say from experience that PAPER WEAR is surprisingly comfortable and breathable (especially important for full-length pants). So although it may look like paper, it feels more like a crisp linen. "And it gets even softer with every wash," added Laura, smoothing her fingers over the PAPER WEAR shift dress with red accents that she was modeling that day. And don't worry about throwing your PAPER WEAR into the wash, it's completely washing-machine safe.
Another big reason why we adore House-Wear so much is the trompe l'oeil detail that adorns the easy-to-wear shift dresses in the collection. While many couturiers seem to be favoring the design technique (which translates to "illusion of the eye") for its fun factor, it is also important to point out that drawing pearls, buttons and other accouterments onto a dress is way cheaper and more sustainable than sourcing, producing and shipping such embellishments. In other words, this trend is a way for us to incorporate little touches of luxury into our lives while eliminating excess materials and cost, which aligns very much with the times we are living in.
If you want to try before you buy, House-Wear has a nifty "Play!" feature on their website that allows you to drag and drop clothes onto a paper doll. For a more hands on approach, print the pieces below out (on recycled paper or better yet, the second side of an already printed sheet) for some good old-fashioned paper doll fun!

VERGENNES — The Vergennes city council on Tuesday adopted a 2013-2014 municipal tax rate of 63.5 cents, up by 1.43 cents from the 2012-2013 levy needed to pay for city services, but not schools.
The increase of 1.43 cents will translate to $14.30 of additional taxes per $100,000 of assessed value, or $28.60 on a $200,000 home.
It is only the second increase in the municipal portion of the city tax rate since 2008. A year ago the council added two cents to the rate, the first change since 2008.

Video: Aaron Carter Blesses Chicago Market Days With Comeback (?) Performance
Nigel Campbell | August 13, 2013
Not to be outdone by Steve Grand, Aaron Carter also took the stage this weekend at Chicago's Market Days.
The superstar(?) hitmaker(??) blessed the crowd with a performance of Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" and a shirtless cover of "Get Lucky." There's also an obligatory crotch grab.
"Aaron's Party," indeed.
(H/T: Queerty)
This guy just needs to carry his brothers bags and get paid and please stop making peoples ears bleed. I know better singers at the Karaoke Bar on the strip. It's really sad that Chicago paid for that or asked a sponsor to bring him in. Please make better choices for Chicago and it's patrons for Market Days. Maybe they should do a survey and ask the people who they would like to maybe bring in.

All City Toy Ride Photos: Flickr Set (65 photos)
In what has become an annual event, this being the second year, the Midnight Ridazz community donates toys to under privileged children. Delivered by bicycles to a central location in East LA, with riders in groups from all parts of LA planning their own routes. Masses from The West Side, Hollywood, The Valley, Pasadena, Downtown and Long Beach were represented. It was a magical evening that brought together people from all over LA for a good cause, and in typical Ridazz fashion was concluded with a big after party.
(The little guy with the two vertical eyes was my contribution to the Holiday good will.)

Sherlock Holmes: The Adventure of the Perfidious Mariner

Web Special Price!
Behind the Scenes
Writer Jonathan Barnes and stars Michael Maloney and Tracey Childs talk to Richard Dinnick about boarding the Titanic for a brand new Sherlock Holmes adventure
Let's start with you, Jonathan. How did you come to be writing about Sherlock Holmes and the Titanic?
Well, it was the Titanic that came first, really. Nick [Briggs] asked me to pitch anything I liked on the subject of the Titanic, which was 1912, so it's the centenary of the tragedy. I think at one point he was suggesting a documentary or something like that, but it didn't take me very long to come up with the suggestion that we should do Sherlock Holmes, who at that time would have been retired, tending his bees, two years before his comeback in His Last Bow, so it seemed kind of irresistible really to plait the two together.
Does this bring him out of retirement?
There's a gap in the canon between the two stories we have of Holmes in retirement, one of which is The Adventure of the Lion's Mane, in which Holmes is living on his own. The story is narrated by Holmes himself, he doesn't seem to have any contact with Watson and he's involved in a fairly milk and water mystery. Then 1914, His Last Bow, he's back with Watson breaking up a spy ring. Something has clearly happened between those two stories, both to get Holmes out of retirement and back together with Watson. [After Lion's Mane] he goes away almost straight away to go undercover as the Irishman in His Last Bow, because he says he's been undercover for two years, so it's almost perfect. There has to be a story in there somehow explaining what caused that shift.
Unusually, it's Holmes not Watson narrating at the opening of The Perfidious Mariner.
It's clear, I think, that something has gone wrong by the time you reach The Adventure of the Lion's Mane, so I wanted The Adventure of the Perfidious Mariner to start off as something different and gradually move towards something that feels like a Sherlock Holmes story. So you begin the story with Holmes and Watson completely estranged, Holmes apparently having had some kind of breakdown, and gradually the characters come back together again. Eventually a mystery is introduced and by the end of it, we're up on our feet again, things are as good as they can be and we've a much more traditional Sherlock Holmes adventure. And the icing on the cake for that is Watson's narration coming back in right at the end.
Was there anything you were sorry to have to take out of the play?
One thing I kind of wish I'd kept in is in the beginning, when [J Bruce] Ismay sees the spectre in the hall. It's a moment that evokes a little bit of Hamlet and at one point I did have him say the line, 'Can you see her? Can you see her? She harrows me with fear and wonder' which, if I'd known we were going to get the wonderful Michael Maloney, I would love to have kept in, just to hear him say it. But that went for reasons of plausibility, really.
Which neatly brings us to you, Michael. Are you a big Holmes fan?
I was talking about this earlier; it's almost unavoidable that you become a Holmes fan – it's part of our culture. It's part of our acting culture, certainly, as is Shakespeare and Dickens. But also, if you like, the nature in which sentences are phrased in the writing concerning Sherlock Holmes has inveigled its way into the way we think. If you have never been a performer and, indeed, if you've never even picked up a Sherlock Holmes novel, you will, when you're doing spoof detective work, fall into a way that Sherlock Holmes would phrase things. The nature and the power of the logic is so intoxicating and so attractive to people that it has become part of our psyche.
What's it like playing a real-life character in the shape of J Bruce Ismay, Chairman of White Star Line, which owned the Titanic?
I would say that this is a very faithful representation of Ismay, and at least factually, everything from the tribunals and from the inquests, he would have said. Such a story [as this] is going to employ a writer's imagination and that's where we leave the genuine character of Ismay and embark on a flight of fancy. What you're going to get is an aural snapshot, if you like, of a true human being in a significant occurrence in the history of the twentieth century, passing through a piece of fiction. The more factually correct he is, the more intriguing it is, and it's a superb device, really, to have people who really did once exist go through a piece of fiction. It lends authenticity.
What's the enduring fascination with the Titanic?
There's something heroic, something epic, something extraordinary, something larger than life which is wrapped up in the simple question of survival, which somehow captures people's imagination. They wish to replay it, they wish to be involved in it, they wish to be there; in their imagination I'm sure they are there. I became obsessed by Scott of the Antarctic. I suppose it's a way of the subconscious letting you know that you are human; that you have a finite time on this planet and you must return to dust. And in some way, through storytelling and through capturing your imagination and re-exploring it and replaying it, it somehow helps you with accepting your own mortality.
Hi Tracey. I hear this is your first Holmes experience.
It absolutely is. Jeremy Brett's Sherlock was very big when I was a young ingénue, and I remember [thinking], 'Ooh, lovely, I'll go and do one of them'. Never got asked. Terribly rude of them! And for some reason the Benedict Cumberbatch/Martin Freeman one, no one's knocking down my door. So I'm really grateful for Big Finish.
You should have played The Woman in Sherlock.
Well, hello! What were they thinking? Or Mrs Hudson. Either. But actually I'm frankly delighted that Big Finish, in their wisdom, thought, 'We need Tracey Childs'.
What role do you play in events?
One of my characters is the lovely Martha, who is the Sussex version of Mrs Hudson, and the other one, Mrs Edgar Curbishley, is a little more pivotal. She has reason to know all the people involved and have certain business with some of them, so she is following Mr Ismay around and causing him a little grief and, like Watson, wants something from him. Though she wants something slightly different…
Would you like to return to the world of Holmes after this?
I always want to return to everything, frankly; I'm just greedy and I'm putting in a bid to appear in everything Big Finish ever do! But I have to say, this one does read like 'part one'…
Are you a Holmes fan?
I am. I have to confess, I don't know the books as well as I should. And why I haven't read Conan Doyle I don't know, because he's absolutely the sort of writer I would have loved, particularly when I was young and really getting into reading. I'm ashamed to say I really don't know Conan Doyle's books and this has made me think that I now must go and read some, so that's done a very good thing for my education. But, of course, I've known all of the films and TV series and always been absolutely fascinated by them because I just love the workings of the man's brain; I love the fact that he comes out with, 'Well, it's perfectly obvious to me that this, this, this, this and this,' and you go, 'Who? Why?' and then you get the explanation. I think that's what everybody loves, you just are fascinated by how someone's brain can work like that.

Ah, yes. The teams come in, ready to do battle! They are prepared. Their weapons are sharp! Chairman Kaga unveils the theme ingredient and-- wait a minute
oh, Im sorry, thats my Iron Chef tape. Ah, heres the Combat Missions tape. Yep, a bunch of losers, ready to fail in mock battle, their weapons shooting blanks (in every sense of the word). Col. Rudy unveils the theme mission and we dont know whether to laugh or cry at the absurdity that unfolds before us.
Evolutions 5 and 6 are brought to you by the letters C.Q.B. and M.B., the numbers 5, 6, and -250, and the words poncho and MILES laser gear.
Evolution 5
Colonel Rudy Boesch stands before the formation outside without a hat on, showing off the haircut that Medic Babe Heather gave him. I guess Col. Rudy still gets excited thinking of that haircut. This time its Delta vs. winless Charlie. Col. Rudy introduces the new players. My condolences that you were chosen to join these squads. says Col. Rudy.
Delta squad selects Baz to lead them. Baz gets philosophical about which dog fights the hardest. He says the one you feed the most wins. Hey Baz: bulldogs fight the hardest , and we do like being fed. Delta is confident of victory. After all, theyre going up against Charlie squad, whose 0-2 record doesnt do their ineptitude justice. But there is hope: Charlie has LA SWAT guys Crenshaw and Wong for this next misson.
Ed Bugarin, the squad leader of Charlie, tells of the new guy Cade Courtley. Ed tells us that Cade comes on strong in the leadership because hes a former officer, and that it may be a problem in the future. No doubt about that: Ed realizes that Cade can replace him (Ed) easily as squad leader because Eds been doing such a crappy job to this point. Meanwhile, Crenshaw tells the camera I miss work. I dont blame you, Crenshaw, Id want to go back to work, too, if I had to be on this show. Meanwhile, Wong talks of Crenshaws leadership and valor in LA SWAT, more M.B. foreshadowing that Ed Bugarin might not be getting the job done
Not really. We could only wish there WAS a tree in the Camp Brainstorm desert, mostly so we could use it to hang these losers. It IS the first competition, though. Its called Double Pit Cross, where the contestants must cross bodies of water. They mustve read VampKiras water sports question in the Off-Topic forum. The contestants navigate over one of four obstacles to cross the first body of water easily. Then theres the big lake. The water is very cold. Crenshaw tries to drown himself, but his buddies wont let him. Let me go, Im trying to get off this show! yells Crenshaw as Wong and Bugarin help him. Col. Rudy and the Lady Major squeal and scream that someones in trouble. Hurry up, help him! shrieks the Lady Major. They really need to give her better lines. Col. Rudy, meanwhile, sends out scuba divers. Hes not getting off this show that easily! promises Col. Rudy. They finally get Crenshaw to the side of the pool
er, lake. At that point, one of the rescuers says Dawggone it, Crenshaw, the lake is three feet deep. Just stand up next time! During the rescue, there are player voiceovers of the value of partnerships. My partners arent going to let me quit the show if they have to stay here. Thats what teamwork is all about. Crenshaw gasps as he recovers from drowning.
Back to Camp Brainstorm, where Heather is watching the guys work out with the weights. Maybe shes trying to drum up some business, and Im not talking barbershop work. About this time, Nutter decides to show us why hes named Nutter. He flashes the camera, as well as his teammates. You know that little circle they use to cover up nudity on TV? The one covering Nutters nu-- er, male anatomy is small. VERY small. The one showing his rear when he moons the camera is bigger, by necessity. And hes doing this as snow flurries through the air. Needless to say, Nutter gets called into Col. Rudys office. Are you flashing people, Nutter? asks Col. Rudy. Just the camera, sir. says Nutter. Nutter, I can assemble the squads AND the barmaids AND Heather AND the Lady Major and have you flash them. And theyll see just how tiny you are. Do I need to do that? threatens Col. Rudy. That wont be necessary, sir. replies Nutter, in the smartest move hes made since the show started. Remember, folks, that this guy is supposedly among the very best our military has to offer. That explains a few things, fer sure.

Boundary Farm Glamping Suffolk News
All Packed Up!28/11/18
It has been a busy season and now life on the farm has slowed down. The fields are drilled up, the safari tents have been packed away for winter. Today the weather is miserable so I am currently sitting in the kitchen with the rayburn lit writing out a Christmas to do list, trying to fend off one of the four cats, that we have now inherited.!! I love Christmas, our family tradition is to go and choose a tree together from a local farmer friend. My son will always choose the tallest, my daughter the widest . We being big kids ourselves, especially around this time of year we love spending time as a family on our down time, going for a brisk walk on the beach, ice cream!!, decorating the house and watching the kids badly trimming the poor Christmas tree, which I tend to move some stuff around once the little darlings have gone to bed, exhausted. That snug warm feeling of being together is lovely and comforting. We hope that you all have a truly wonderful Christmas and thank you for supporting our small family business. All the best Josie, John and Family. xx
Summer Holidays Harvest 201809/08/18
How are you all been surviving the lovely weather, we have been lucky to have?
Down on the farm we have had a exciting start to the summer, as Harvest was early and the farm comes alive with tractors and combines. Our guests have enjoyed watching us bring in the Harvest, whilst glamping with us. On the long hot days they have been heading out enjoying numerous trips out to the lovely surrounding beaches, taking part in some beach combing sessions, crabbing and boat trips out to sea. In the evenings they are choosing to relax back on the farm, watching the world go by having a few drinks around the fire pit whilst the children play in the field together, and making up their own adventures using their imagination in and around the play tent, which is up during the schools summer holidays. Life can get back to being simple and chilled out whilst star grazing and roasting marshmallows. A wonderful way to Glamp with us this summer near Suffolk .
Football & Glamping!!04/07/18
We are a site that prides its self on the fact that most of our guest want to get away from it all, with no need for gadgets and a chance to unwind!! Well this of course would be when the World Cup is not on!!, and especially last night game of England v Columbia. Unless you really hate the football that much and could not care less if they win or lose, I know that a few of our guest have been discreetly watching the games on their phones, and who could blame them. Last was a fantastic game, nerve racking, moments of dread, but at the end of it all you can sit around the fire pit and relax with a drink or two and share your thoughts on the match. It was great to have guest's enjoying the matches and bringing together the feel-good vibe, which is what glamping is supposed to do. It brings together family, friends, love ones and even strangers under the Suffolk skies. We will see what happens this weekend, as England play Sweden!
Family Events At Minsmere04/07/18
I have been luck enough to accompany some children from our local school on their first school trip to Minsmere Nature Reserve! We had a wonderful time taking part in all sort of activities learning and exploring the different wildlife and their habitat's. We are only a short drive to Minsmere, so I will be inspiring our guest to pack a pick picnic and head to the nature reserve, as it's set right on the coast. This year is celebrating 70 years of RSPB Minsmere, and there are family events throughout the Summer Holiday from 21 July 2018, Wild things- self guided activities, Pond dipping, Owl pellet, family nature walks and of course the Big Wild Sleep Out, a fantastic opportunity to spend the night at the Nature Reserve, to book and for further information please visit
You can Glamping with us and visit all the local attractions and places of interest on the Suffolk Coast, as were are only a short drive to Suffolk .
Dinosaurs Glamping Adventure14/05/18
Time goes so fast, and before you know it it's time to get all the family and friends together to decided on the next big adventure. Planning a get together,can at times be tricky due to number of things that need to be organised, especially if you are camping or glamping for the first time. We have tried to keep things "simple", so that our guests, can just turn up for their holiday and start to enjoy themselves, instead of wrestling with a tent,combating the elements, arguing in relation to equipment failure or lost pegs!!! Stressful for everyone involved. We know, as parents that it can be the littlest thing, that can push you over the edge!! But Glamping with us, takes away all the hassle of that, and a few weekends back I was happy to come to the rescue of a parent that had forgotten the favourite toy for little Tommy (i shall call him) to sleep with!! This is when you know as a parent that could be a hell of a lot of trouble ahead. I had been trying to tidy up and sort out the children's toys and book etc and came across an old fluffy dinosaur who spent the weekend on his own little adventure with a lovely boy, and comfort him to sleep whilst glamping with us. Happy parents, and a very happy boy. I was happy as they all had a lovely holiday.
April is finally here.03/04/18
Our Glamping season has started, and we are in Spring!! I love getting the tents all prepared ready for our first guests to arrive. This year Easter has came early, and the weather was truly awful!! I always worry that the weather will spoil things and always pray for sunshine, but our glamper's did not let that get the better of them, they had planned a weekend of adventure and that's what was going to happen. They went crabbing, had a bbq on the fire pit and they left a fantastic review, because they were happy with the experience they had staying with us and the memories they will take away, and it didn't really matter about the weather, as a holiday or a break away is what you make of it. So I will try to stop worrying about the weather, and inspire our guest with stories of other glampers and what they go up to, when the elements does not work out the way they planned. Glamping in Suffolk is fun whatever the weather, and you will always have the luxury of a cosy tent waiting for you after a day of adventure exploring Suffolk .
And relax.21/02/18
The half-term holidays, went too quickly. We decided to venture out by train to the big smoke. London is a very fascinating place, especially for my two as we live in a rural area and the biggest town to us is Ipswich or Norwich. I have always wanted to go to the Science museum with my lot, and going by train was an adventure. Watching the world passing by as the children are playing eye spy, as we were happy to read, having not to worry about traffic jams, and lane changes. We were explaining and showing the children the things we used to use, like the old rotary phones ( which I still love)old tv's and other bits of technology!! They found it highly amusing to see the things that we used to take for granted. It's ironic, as this half-term we got away from it all by leaving the farm to explore London and visit friends. As for many of our guests, get away from the cities to visit the countryside, and it's slower pace of life. It doesn't matter where you are heading, as long as you see it as an adventure and a chance to explore with your friends and family. Glamping gives you the opportunity to be a bit more laid back, and take in the sites, unplug from the outside world, as for us visiting London we have to plug in to actually find out where we are going!! lol. Thank you for reading my blog, and I hope you had a good half-term, you never know I could meet you having an adventure of your own Glamping in Suffolk .
Spring is coming!!13/02/18
The Primrose, bulbs and snow drops are poking out of the land, so you can see the changes in the countryside happening before your very own eyes. Some land is being Ploughed ready for spring cropping, turning up fresh clean soil.

Food Glorious Food25/01/18
Yesterday a friend and I caught up over lunch discussing the world of Glamping, and plans for the season ahead, in a little gold mine called The Lemon Tree in Farmlingham, just a short walk from "the castle on the hill!" It has recently been taken over by new owners, and it's a little taste of France in rural Suffolk and we loved it!! It's not that often you get the change to meet up with friends and family, but in our down time I try my best to get together, as we all have busy lives and when we do it's great for it to be over lovely food. This is one of the places to go and try out the freshly prepared food, in a lovely warm and welcoming atmosphere, where you can put the world to rights and have a good old caught up. I am rubbish is trying to pronounce dishes, so we asked for a little tutorial as I had a Tartiflette, which I was quite happy to let my friend order!! My usual is an Americano with a shot of caramel, beautifully smooth but with just the right kick of coffee. Herve and his team have nailed it, as it's a place that anyone can pop into either for a quick coffee and cake or a delicious lunch with a cheeky glass of wine. I will definitely be going back for another taste of France and try other delights on the menu. Glamp with us this season and try some of what Suffolk has to offer in the way of local produce, as we are no longer just the bread basket of Britain but a county full of great foodie destinations.
The Wonders of a Power Cut!!18/01/18
At the moment a lot of our neighbours are without power due to the very high wind we had last night. We are lucky enough to have electricity so it has not impacted on us! But when are power is off, I relish in the fact that it's an adventure by candlelight which we all love! Playing games like cards, junior Monopoly ( with cheating kids), getting our pj's on extra early all set for an evening of fun. We have an old Rayburn that has been in the farmhouse for the last 70 years, and I do treasure the warmth you get from it, and lovely food you can produce using it. At times I have forgotten, things in the oven as you can't smell it cooking!! Being able to boil the kettle and make a hot cuppa and fill the hot water bottles is a treat. We do take power for granted, but when it's off a whole new demension to family life appears, when we all come together to have fun, and enjoy the warm of the woodburner. The joys of Glamping with us is that you can experience this, and make wonderful memories of Glamping near Suffolk, even if it's for the first time or just trying out one of our luxury safari tents. We have tried to make life less stressful and more enjoyable camping.
Is is to late to say Happy New Year??16/01/18
Yesterday was blue Monday and the whole country was depressed. I am one of the few that like January even though weather is pants, but it gives me a chance to refresh my thoughts and ideas. I am not very good at keeping new years resolutions, so I try not to make any. What I would like to do is try and spend more quality time with my family and friends, by getting together eating lovely food, drinking and general larking about. The weather always improves my mood and gets me motivated to do things outside with the family, they will moan that's it cold, but at least we are out and about testing out scooters, whilst us the parents are try our best to keep up by walking briskly and out of breath. Kids don't worry about the elements a much as we do, they don't feel the cold when they are having fun. So maybe if I was to have a resolution, it would be to get outdoors a bit more and have fun with family, friends and loved ones. Luxury Glamping Family Friendly Holidays near Suffolk sleeping up to 5 guest. Try something fun in the year ahead.

Bursting With Colour06/11/17
I love the Summer, however one of my favourite season's is Autumn. The landscape is bursting with rich colours, and it's a good time to brush things clear ready for the coming months. Most of our guest have commented on how nice it has been to have time to pause, reflect and rediscover themselves, as well as their loved ones without the daily grind!

What a fantastic weekend, the weather has been amazing for this time of year! You would not believe it was Autumn.

The kids have loved being out and about in the warm sun, helping me out delivering tea and homemade bakes to our guest, so they can continue working hard in the fields. we have a very happy farmer/hubby who has finished drilling the fields, and is looking forward to a nice hot meal and cold beer after months of sandwiches in his tractor cab!

Apple Harvest30/09/17
This morning, everyone was feeling gloomy due to the wet weather!! However within a few hours the sun was out, and the glampers as well, as myself felt more energized to go out and explore. It's was lovely to step out into the fresh air without a coat and enjoy something like a brisk walk along the beach, apple picking in the warm sunshine, bike ridding along the quite roads. It does the world of good, to chill out and take it easy especially at the weekend. Glamping near Suffolk is also another way to get away and enjoy the outdoors, whilst you still can. The apple harvest will soon be over the nights will draw in, there is still some cooler evening left in front of the fire pit with a warm apple pie!
Sunny Weekend in Suffolk Glamping24/09/17
This week we have had guest celebrating anniversaries, getting together with friends. We also have had the pleasure of having our oldest new to "glamping," was the lovely Edna who is 80 came laden with wine and chocolate cake. My two favorite things!! She assured me that she was famous for this, and from the taste I could taste why! Edna has recently been widowed and she had been invited to glamp with a friend with two younger children. She came well prepared, even thought we had informed her she did not need to bring anything as we have provided everything to make our guests lives easier. She loved the fact that she could switch off from the daily grind of phones, tv and just relax and catch up with her friend. The best night sleep, she had, had in ages. Sometime we needed to get away from in all (whatever that might be) to reflect and de-clutter the mind in order to carry on. Glamping or camping can help as you are our in the open enjoying the weather and the great outdoors until the late in the evening. Glamping in a lovely area like Suffolk can be good therapy for everyone young and old.

Let's Go And Catch Crabs!!13/08/17
Suffolk has many places where you can catch crabs! One of our favorite is only a short drive from the farm, so we tend to make the most of it. Packing up a lovely picnic of homemade sausage rolls, fresh local strawberries we head to the beautiful village of Walberswick. You have to be armed and ready with a big clear buckets (so you can see the crabs), crab line or net and of course bacon!, and on some occasions a lot of patience which, at times my lot lack. But once you start catching them it's great fun and the best bit is to set them free and count how many you have caught. This is always on the "must do list" for family and friends who visit us Suffolk. This weekends group of friends caught over 80 crabs and they had such fun Glamping with in our luxury safari tents and enjoyed having the whole field to themselves, so the kids run around and play rounders late into the evening whilst the adults relaxed on the veranda.

During the past week, I continued researching the surnames Porter and Middleton, South Carolina ancestors who settled in the early Southwest Mississippi Territory. Part of that research included reading through several books that include details about early Mississippi settlers, as I searched for references to either of the two families. One such book was Natchez on the Mississippi by Harnett T. Kane. Published by William Morrow & Company in 1947, Kane's book includes over three hundred pages of eloquent details about the history of the Natchez area. Although I did not find references to either the Porter or Middleton names, I immensely enjoyed reading Kane's vivid descriptions of over twenty antebellum mansions, the personal stories of the families that built them, and the individuals who called them home. Of interest to anyone who enjoys history is the fact that many of the individuals named in the book were among those who helped shape the state's history, and in some cases, the history of our nation. Also included in the interesting and entertaining stories in Kane's book about Natchez are two that garnered national interest in years past, the famous steamboat race between The Natchez and The Robert E. Lee, and the infamous story of Natchez's "Goat Castle." The index of Natchez on the Mississippi is a special bonus for family history researchers everywhere, since it contains an alphabetical listing of hundreds of family names mentioned in Kane's book.

Boat shows are one of the top influencers of boat-buying decisions - behind dealership experience and the Internet - according to the 2010 Boat Show Purchase Influence Report, based on a survey conducted by Foresight Research.
Foresight Research's Ron Hein provided a detailed look at the report Tuesday during a webinar. The report is based on a survey of 3,295 buyers of new powerboats who purchased their boats between January 2009 and August 2010. The survey looked at eight powerboat segments, such as pontoon, aluminum fishing boats and cruisers, and divided participants into seven geographic regions.
Buyers said they attended an average of 1.8 boat shows before making their purchase, although that figure varies by type of boat purchased and region. Buyers of fiberglass fishing boats, for example, reported going to 2.7 shows. Radio, television and newspaper ads are the key ways consumers find out about shows.
Boat shows are a key influencer in the decision-making process because of consumers' ability to compare prices and models, as well as being able to see and climb into the boats.
"This is kind of the one-two punch," Hein said.
Most people who attend a show - 61 percent - got the information they needed at a show to make a buying decision, the research shows. The study found that 64 percent of people go to a show planning to visit the display of a brand they want to buy, although 36 percent came across the brand they ultimately purchased.
Consumers spent an average of 49 minutes at the display of the brand of boat they ultimately purchased.
There's an average of 3.3 months from the time of the boat show until the time of purchase, Hein said.
"The boat show influence is not done after the first month or two," he noted.
Most people travel about one hour to get to a boat show, although in some regions - such as the Mid-Atlantic - that time climbs to 2.3 hours on average.Read more at http://www.tradeonlytoday.com/home/507544-industry-survey-shows-boat-shows-lead-to-sales

Melaka (Historic City)
Temple in Melaka © yeowatzup
The fascinating seaside city of Melaka (Malacca) preserves the historic convergence of Chinese and European cultures. Its strategic position on the Straits of Melaka brought a tide of trade with China, India, Siam and Indonesia. Colonial powers wrestled for control, and much of the Portuguese influence from the 1500s is cemented in its architecture. The most notable cultural presence today is predominantly Chinese. Chinese merchants continue to ply their trades in the tradition of their forefathers. Open-air markets burst with colourful fruit, vegetable and fish produce. The oldest Chinese temple in Malaysia, Cheng Hoon Teng, together with the vast Chinese cemetery, support a thriving industry entirely dedicated to the deceased.
The merging of Chinese and Malay cultures has produced a unique ethnic group found in Melaka, the Baba-Nyonya. The remarkable lifestyle of this micro-culture can be explored in the dedicated Baba-Nyonya Heritage Museum. Jonker Street is an attractive thoroughfare, almost always strung with traditional Chinese lanterns, which often hosts night bazaars and festivities on weekends. Trips on the Malazza River are popular, and there are many historic buildings to explore, including the Stadthuys, which was once the seat of the Dutch administration and now houses a history museum. There are also some interesting ruins on St. Paul's Hill.

Some might say the Beatles were the most popular and influential rock band of the 20th Century and most wouldn't argue too much about that. From 1962-1970, the Beatles had 54 songs that made it to #1 on the Billboard Music Charts in the U.S. and UK.
On Friday, a reggae, ska, dub, rock, punk and rock steady Beatles tribute band, Yellow Dubmarine, will play at 7 p.m. at Ashley Pond. Yellow Dubmarine play and have recorded those 54 #1 songs, plus they've recorded the entire "Abbey Road" album.
Dub is a genre of music, which grew out of reggae and reggae grew out of ska. Ska music is a type of fast dance music that came from Jamaica, using a lot of brass. Rock steady slowed the tempo and often resulted in love, R&B or blues songs. Then came reggae in the 60s, with emerging superstars like Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff and other greats. Most reggae focuses on politics, protest, black consciousness and the Rastafarian spiritual movement.
Dub features electronic instrumental remixes emphasizing drums and bass with lots of reverb and echo. This combination of Jamaican music is how Yellow Dubmarine play the Beatles' greatest hits.
This show won't be a ska-karaoke night. It may sound crazy to you but it's crazy-good," said Los Alamos County Summer Concert Series Promoter Russ Gordon. "All we are saying is give these dudes a chance. What the band is saying is, 'All you need is dub.' "
Yellow Dubmarine is from the D.C.- Baltimore area. They're known for being a live band.
"The next night, they're playing the famous Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colo. at the annual Reggae On The Rocks Festival with Steel Pulse. Pretty cool," Gordon said of the band's next gig, following their Los Alamos show.
"Check out the band at yellowdubmarine.com and on YouTube. I recommend that you check out songs like 'Something,' 'I Want You (She's So Heavy)' and 'Come Together.' On YD's website, they quote Kurt Vonnegut 'Let this be my epitaph: The only proof he needed for the existence of God was music.' "
The Friday show is the last of 2012 Los Alamos Summer Concert Series, except for a special event on Sept. 14 and 15. This will be the weekend of the "Next Big Idea: A Festival of Discovery, Invention and Innovation." On Sept. 14, the Summer Series presents Stephanie Hatfield and Hot Mess with Bill Palmer's TV Killers, two rock, Americana, alternative and progressive rock bands from Santa Fe.
"At this writing, I know that the Chamber of Commerce and MainStreet Los Alamos are planning on two rock bands plus lots of exhibits. This seems like it should be the perfect Los Alamos festival," Gordon said.
"At 7:30 p.m. Sept. 15, (after the Next Big Idea Fest) we're ecstatic about bringing back China's Golden Dragon Acrobats.
"The show will be a thrilling and beautiful night of Chinese acrobats, traditional dance, spectacular and gorgeous costumes, ancient and contemporary music and theater with a history of over 20 centuries. They played here two years ago and wow, it was an incredible experience," Gordon said.

Peroxisomes are small, membrane-bound organelles that were discovered in 1965 by Christian de Duve. Present in almost all eukaryotic cells, these organelles were named for the hydrogen peroxide they produce as an intermediate in the process of normal cellular metabolism. Through the use of the enzyme catalase, peroxisomes are also responsible for detoxifying cellular metabolic side products by converting the hydrogen peroxide they generate into water and free oxygen molecules. Peroxisomes, which contain more than 40 oxidative enzymes, are also associated with many other cellular activities, such as lipid degradation and the synthesis of various biochemicals. Proteins intended for peroxisomes are manufactured in the cytosol and then transported into the organelles, which undergo fission to produce more peroxisomes when their size increases to a certain level.
Histones present in the nuclei of cancerous bone cells (U-2 OS line) presented above were immunofluorescently labeled with primary anti-histone mouse monoclonal antibodies followed by goat anti-mouse Fab heavy and light chain fragments conjugated to Cy3. In addition, the specimen was simultaneously stained for filamentous actin with Alexa Fluor 350 conjugated to phalloidin, and for peroxisomes with Cy2 conjugated to goat secondary antibodies that target rabbit anti-PMP 70 (peroxisomal membrane protein). Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

Don't base anything on one data point.My NOR Z/28 db has almost 700 examples and 3 weeks is well off the norm. It depends on when a car was built. During peak Z/28 production periods it is not unusual to see engine installations 7-10 days after build. During slow production months [July '69 2 weeks, Aug '69 3 weeks] DZ engine inventory increased. When production picked up again in Sep some cars received June engines. By late Sep engine dates were back to 7-10 day installation.Don't apply this thinking to Van Nuys. Because of the distance VN kept more engine inventory and of course it aged. Also the data hints that some engine dates are unique to a specific plant.

Substitute teacher becomes heir to gold fortune
CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) -- Carson City officials say a substitute teacher from California is the only heir to a fortune of gold coins found in the home of reclusive cousin who died in June.
Genealogical researchers hired to find Walter Samaszko Jr.'s relatives determined Arlene Magdon is the only living heir to what appraisers say is an estate worth more than $7.4 million.
The Nevada Appeal (http://bit.ly/12bAokR ) reports a court hearing is scheduled Tuesday in Carson City, when a judge is expected to certify Magdon as the lone heir.
The 69-year-old Samaszko lived in Nevada's capital city since the late 1960s.
His body was found at his home in late June, and a cleaning crew found gold coins and bullion in the garage. There was enough gold to fill two wheel barrows.

Popular chicken chain Chick-fil-A will open its largest location, a five-story restaurant with a rooftop terrace, in early 2018, Chick-fil-A announced Monday.
But hungry Southerners hoping to eat at the massive restaurant, a 12,000 square-foot space, will have to travel to lower Manhattan's Financial District.
It will be the third Chick-fil-A location in New York City.
In a press release, Nathaniel Cates, design manager for restaurant development at Chick-fil-A, said the new location will have floor to ceiling windows and will allow lots of natural light. Visitors dining on the rooftop deck will have views of the Freedom Tower. A "monumental" staircase will connect the five stories.
The restaurant, located less than half a mile from Ground Zero and the 9/11 Memorial, will seat 140 guests across three levels. Two levels will house kitchen space. A semi-private multi-purpose space will feature white boards and cork boards for group trainings or meetings, according to the release.
"We are always thinking about how to make the dining experience feel as comfortable as possible for our customers," Cates said.
There is no opening date for the restaurant yet.

Olive Garden announced Tuesday that it is offering a new all-you-can-eat promotion, the Pasta Passport to Italy, in celebration of the return of its Never Ending Pasta Pass. With the Never Ending Pasta Pass, customers can purchase a $100 pass that allows them to consume an unlimited amount of pasta during each visit between Sept. 25 and Nov. 19.
>> Read more trending newsThe promotion allows customers to pick from seven pastas and six sauces and includes unlimited soup or salad and breadsticks.
A second pass affords customers all the benefits of the Never Ending Pasta Pass plus the opportunity to go to Italy for $200. The eight-day European vacation includes airfare, hotel, meals, ground transportation and daily activities for two during April 2018.
"Recipients of a Pasta Passport to Italy will ... start by exploring the sprawling cobble-stoned streets and terracotta rooftops of Sienna, then will travel throughout Italy, including Florence and Assisi, cities known for their ancient architecture and fresh, seasonal cooking," according to an Olive Garden news release. "From there, guests will enjoy cultural excursions to the ancient Coliseum in Rome, a visit to the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City and a chance for the ultimate photo opportunity at the leaning Tower of Pisa. Guests will also taste Tuscan wine, sample Italian Gelato and learn to prepare regional cuisine."
Olive Garden is selling 22,000 Never Ending Pasta Passes and 50 Pasta Passports to Italy.
The passes go on sale Thursday at 2 p.m. EST at PastaPass.com. They will be available for purchase for 30 minutes only, or until all passes and passports sell out.
"Every year, through our Pasta Pass sale, we get to connect with and delight thousands of our most passionate Olive Garden fans," said Jennifer Arguello, executive vice president of marketing for Olive Garden. "We couldn't think of a better way to create even more memories and a deeper connection to our brand than through a special edition Pasta Pass that includes an all-inclusive trip for two to the country that inspires us.
According to Eater, 21,000 pasta passes were sold out in less than one second during Olive Garden's promotion last year.
Chipotle Mexican Grill will start offering queso dip at all restaurants next week.
The fast-casual restaurant chain announced it was going to "fulfill the wishes of queso lovers from coast to coast" by adding queso to its menu at all stores on Sept. 12.
The company has been testing queso in 350 restaurants in Southern California and the Colorado area.
Customers can order queso on their entrée or on the side in two sizes with chips. Prices vary slightly by city, but range from $1.25 to add it to an entrée to $5.25 for a large side order, the company said in a statement.
» RELATED: Chipotle food scare highlights issue that impacts thousands annually
"Although queso was the No. 1-requested menu item, we never added it to our menu before now because we wouldn't use the industrial additives used in most quesos," said Steve Ells, founder, chairman and CEO at Chipotle. "Additives make typical queso very consistent and predictable, but are not at all in keeping with our food culture. Our queso may vary slightly depending on the characteristics of the aged cheddar cheese used in each batch, but using only real ingredients is what makes our food so delicious."
Chipotle, which opened its first restaurant in Denver in 1993, now operates more than 2,300 restaurants.

According to Thrillist, "Once you claim the deal in the app, you have until the end of September to hit up your local Chick-fil-A restaurant during breakfast hours (until 10:30 a.m.) and redeem it for the free food."
Easy, peasy. Enjoy!

The renowned Franklin Barbecue suffered heavy fire damage overnight, the Austin Fire Department said early Saturday.
The fire started in the pit room adjacent to to the main dining room at Franklin, owned by James Beard Award-winning pitmaster Aaron Franklin and known for long lines and world-class brisket.
The room that houses the pits suffered "heavy damage" but firefighters were able to contain the fire, resulting only in smoke damage to the dining room and public portion of the restaurant.
Owner Aaron Franklin hopes to reopen the restaurant in a few weeks.
Officials say the cause of the fire was accidental.

Select Starbucks locations will now be selling a combination of two of millennial's favorite things -- a burrito and sushi all rolled conveniently into one easy to grab snack.
With the limited release of the sushi burrito, only those living in Chicago and Seattle will be able to give the snack a try and see if it stands up to previous Starbucks concoctions such as the autumn mooncakes or beef jerky cold brew.
RELATED: Chicago Starbucks are now donating all their unsold food to a local shelter
Part of the company's Mercado menu, which is full of lunch meals for customers to enjoy, customers interested in the sushi burrito will be able to order a chicken maki roll, HypeBeast reported. Rolled up like a little burrito, the meal is jam packed with sticky white rice, shredded chicken, pickled cabbage, cucumber, onion and avocado.
What makes the sushi burrito a crossover of sorts is the tomatillo salsa and lime crema that tops it off before being rolled in a seaweed wrap. If the item does well in Chicago and Seattle, it is presumed that Starbucks will open the sushi burrito to all locations for everyone to enjoy.
Chick-fil-A this week unveiled its new breakfast bowl, the Hash Brown Scramble, adding it to the breakfast menu at all of its participating restaurants nationwide.
The new menu item is made with "tot-style" hash browns, scrambled eggs, Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses, and a choice of either sliced chicken nuggets or pork sausage. It can also be ordered as a burrito, with the ingredients wrapped in a soft tortilla. The dishes are served with a side of jalapeño salsa.

Chick-fil-A officials said in a release that the new menu item is the "first breakfast bowl for the national quick-service restaurant company." The chain previously added an Egg White Grill as an "on-the-go" breakfast option.

"At Chick-fil-A, we understand the importance of breakfast and want to provide a wide range of options to our guests who are looking for a fast and delicious breakfast," Amanda Norris, senior director of menu development for Chick-fil-A, said in a release. "We've definitely seen an increase in popularity for breakfast bowls, and the Hash Brown Scramble combines two fan favorites – our chicken nuggets and hash browns."

The Hash Brown Scramble Bowl has 450 calories and 30 grams of protein when made with nuggets. The Hash Brown Scramble Burrito will replace the current Breakfast Burrito.
Chick-fil-A customers in the states of New York and New Jersey, and cities of San Diego, Columbia, S.C., and Washington, D.C. test-marketed the Hash Brown Scramble and two other potential breakfast items in the fall of 2016.
Chipotle temporarily closed one of its restaurants in Sterling, Virginia, after an unspecified amount of customers reported illnesses with symptoms consistent with norovirus after eating food at the Mexican grill, The Associated Press reported.
According to the AP a "small number" of customers reported the illnesses.
Chipotle said the company planned to reopen the Virginia location the same day after completing a full sanitation of the restaurant.
Chipotle officials are working with health officials to discover the cause of the illnesses. Restaurant officials assured customers that norovirus does not come from its food supply.
>> Related: Chipotle testing queso offering
Chipotle's shares dropped more than six percent Tuesday as investors responded to the incident with concern.
Symptoms of norovirus include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain and diarrhea.
In 2015, Chipotle's revenue and reputation suffered after an E. coli outbreak at restaurants in nine states and a norovirus outbreak at a Boston location. Approximately 500 customers reported illnesses.
"We may be at a higher risk for food-borne illness outbreaks than some competitors due to our use of fresh produce and meats, rather than frozen, and our reliance on employees cooking with traditional methods rather than automation," Chipotle officials said at the time.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, restaurant workers are often the source of norovirus outbreaks, as they often touch foods such as raw fruits and vegetables with their bare hands before serving them.
In 2016, Chipotle shut down all locations for a day retrain employees on food safety.
Chick-fil-A has begun testing family style meals in three U.S. cities with plans to continue the offerings through November.
The Family Style Meals include one entrée, two sides and eight mini rolls with the option to add additional entrees, sides and beverages.
The meals, which are served with plates, utensils and condiments, are made to serve up to four people.
"Our customers told us that they wanted an even more convenient way to share meals at home or on the go, so we worked directly with a group of parents to design every part of Family Style Meals -- down to the cutlery caddy that features five unique conversation starter questions to help customers connect over mealtime," Matt Abercrombie, Chick-fil-A manager of menu development, said in a news release. "Mealtime should be an enjoyable experience that brings family and friends together, not an extra stress in the day."
>> Related: Chick-fil-A adds new sandwich, lemonade to summer menu
Customers can choose one of four entrees -- 12 Chick-n-Strips, four Original Chick-fil-A Chicken Breasts, 30 Chick-fil-A Nuggets or four Grilled Chicken Breasts -- and two of six sides, including baked beans, waffle potato chips, fruit cup, macaroni and cheese and side salad.
The Family Style Meals are being sold for $29.99 in Greensboro, North Carolina, Phoenix, Arizona, and San Antonio, Texas, until November 18.
"We heard that for a lot of people who are in charge of planning dinner, it's really not that enjoyable," Abercrombie said, according to Business Insider. "Some parents said 'I don't even eat until after my family is fed.' That was a really big 'aha!' for us."
>> Related: Chick-fil-A is now offering a gluten-free bun option
Chick-fil-A is testing the options in an effort to determine whether the Family Style Meals are to be offered in other cities. The company is also using the time to decide whether it will offer beans and macaroni and cheese as permanent side items.
The beans are kettle-cooked with bacon and brown sugar. The mac and cheese is made of a blend of cheddar, parmesan and romano cheeses.

Nicki Minaj Shares 'Roman Reloaded' Deluxe Edition Cover Art
'Roman Reloaded' got reloaded again as a deluxe edition — and now we can see the cover art for it! Nicki Minaj revealed the deluxe edition cover art for 'Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded,' and it's a bit of a reworking on the original.
Whereas the original featured Minaj with flawless hair and a crazed look in her eyes, the deluxe edition shows Minaj in the familiar paint and blonde wig, but with a much more mannequin-like appearance — and a much messier mane. We see more of the Harajuku Barbie in this shot, which showcases her voluptuous torso as well as her mug, whereas in the original, she was shot from the shoulders up.
Her face is both pinkish and pale, and she gazes directly into the camera with her big, wide eyes (does anyone else think her eye looks a bit Photoshopped?). Her makeup looks a little different from the original, with more graphic, dark eyeliner extending all the way to her temples and differently placed paint splatters. She's really embracing the whole Barbie motif!
It's a look the world has come to expect from Minaj, who's almost as famous for her bodacious curves and bright wigs as she is for her fierce rhymes and melodic, spitfire cadence.
Minaj so far has confirmed three songs that will appear on 'Roman Reloaded.' The title track (featuring Lil Wayne), the Top 40-friendly 'Starships' and the vitriolic 'Stupid H–' are all slated to be included on the April 3 release.
Do you like the 'Roman Reloaded' deluxe edition art? Do you prefer it to the original? Let us know in the comments!

It always puzzled me what is the 'canonical' way to install dependencies for an unpacked distribution, be it downloaded from CPAN or your own in-house product packaged the CPAN way for convenience. Module::Install provides an 'auto_install' option that you add to your Makefile.PL and then
perl Makefile.PL; make (or
perl Makefile.PL; sudo make) should do that trick. This seemed like a good solution that could be a standard, but now I see that the FAQ of that module says:
Do I really have to avoid auto_install()?
auto_install() has a long history of breaking CPAN toolchains. Lots of people had a bad feeling on it, and have said it should be strongly avoided. In fact it was deprecated and removed once.
Although most of the known problems have been fixed and you can use it more safely than ever, the use of auto_install() is still discouraged, especially if what you are writing is a module to be uploaded on the CPAN. auto_install() does lots of things itself, thus does not always do the same things as other toolchains do (including extra attribute handling, etc; which can be fixed somehow but that's not too DRY). It only supports CPAN and CPANPLUS as its backends. If you use other tools to install, it may still cause a trouble.
Besides, now you can do what auto_install() does with other means. If your CPAN module is new enough, you can pass a dot to the cpan command it provides, and it will install all the required distributions from the CPAN:
$ cpan .
So apparently this is the way to go - using the cpan shell. There is a minor problem with this when used for testing - it would automatically install the package from the directory you are in. Sure you can suppress that you need by adding another command switch (-m), but it would be better if the default action was the safe one.
