A Lot Of People At Fargo Santorum Rally Caucused For Him -- In Minnesota
Rick Santorum attracted a big crowd to Fargo tonight for a rally at the Holiday Inn, including many from across state lines. He went after "intellectual snobs."
FARGO, N.D. -- Rick Santorum drew throngs of fans to Fargo tonight for the first presidential campaign rally in the state this year. He ramped up the conservative talking points in an effort to reach a conservative base already partial to him, in a crowd that was bigger and more enthusiastic than he could bring in even a month ago. The wrinkle is that many of them were from Minnesota or South Dakota.
Bolstered by the support of a handful of state politicians and party officials, Santorum embraced the opportunity to not have to tone anything down. He attacked "the intellectual snobs in Washington"; he told the audience that "I don't think God will continue to bless America if we continue to kill 1.2 million children every year." He even went on the attack against Joe Biden: "I always tell people if you want to know what position to take on a national security issue, find out what Joe Biden thinks and do the opposite."
Though North Dakotans generally aren't as engaged with the process as their peers in the early primary states, those at the rally were vocal in their excitement about Santorum.
"He seems to be very able to communicate basic values about what America is," said Darrel Lindensmith, a Seventh-Day Adventist pastor from West Fargo. He'll be caucusing for Santorum on March 6th.
Barbara Downes and her son Michael will both caucus for Santorum on primary day, though neither of them has participated in that process before. Barbara lived in Pennsylvania for years.
"He was my Senator," she said. "I voted for him more than once in Pennsylvania."
Some folks would definitely caucus for Santorum -- if they hadn't done so already. Fargo shares a border with Moorhead, a city in Minnesota, and a large percentage of the crowd had taken the five-minute drive to see the candidate, like the Saul family: 18-year-old Danielle, father Jim, mother Ginny. The Sauls are all outspoken Christians and Santorum supporters -- they like his "family values and economic stances," said Danielle -- but they've already done their part in Minnesota.
As did Cindy Ternes, there with her 13-year-old son Sean, who volunteered to sell Santorum buttons.
"I like that he's pro-American, pro-life, pro-family, and pro-Israel," Ternes said. But she can't help him in North Dakota either, since as a Minnesotan she's already caucused for him. It was, she said, her first time, but she felt "very inspired, very excited."

What are the main aspects of your role?
My role is very varied and probably doesn't sit within the 'traditional PA' job description that many would think. Having been with Absolute Taste for 14 years there are lots of jobs that I do which are a hangover from when we were a very small company with 10-15 people so we all mucked in, saying that I still do these tasks because I enjoy these aspects and I don't want to relinquish them! Obviously there are the usual tasks of diary management, travel arrangements, fielding calls and emails and I help with the PR for the company. I organise all the travel for the company as well as my principal which can be demanding particularly with the F1 team following the Grand Prix circuit, the Extreme Sailing team heading around the world, adhoc business travel and the Events team heading wherever the events need them to be! Due to my longevity here I tend to be the 'google' of Absolute Taste.
What is your morning routine before you get in to the office?
My morning routine is a bit of a standing joke in the office as I am a creature of habit. I get up about 0630 on a good day and I go for a run, 0730 on a bad day when I don't. Obviously there is the shower and the usual and then at 0800 I head to make breakfast, this varies day to day from eggs on veg or a homemade smoothie and then I sit at the dining table for 20mins to eat, read my book and listen to radio2, this is really important to me as it is the only time in the day when no-one contacts me and so is real 'me' time. I then finish getting ready and leave the house at 0845. I have a very short walk to work but again I treasure those 10 minutes and listen to a couple of rugby podcasts to catch up on the weekends games and have a laugh, it is a good way to start the day.
What time do you get into the office and what time do you leave?
I am always in the office at 0900 prompt ready to start the day. This gives me 15-20min before Lyndy arrives so I can clear the overnight emails and confirm the diary for the day and then I am free to do any tasks that Lyndy requires which must always come first. I leave the office when Lyndy leaves and so that varies day to day but is usually about 6.30/6.45. Lyndy kindly drops me home so we can have a quick debrief on the day and the one ahead and then I have plenty of time for that run I didn't manage in the morning!!
What does an average day look like?
No such thing. One of the things I love about my job the most is the fact that I can never really predict what is going to happen or what I might need to do, in the first 2 months of my job I got a call from Lyndy in Germany asking me to join her and my flight was in 2 hours (since then I always carry my passport with me!). My main job of each day is to help Lyndy with whatever task or deadline she has, from helping with quotes, finding out information and organising all that is needed for the next meeting. I can suddenly find myself on the hunt for a very specific glass or plate that Lyndy wants for an event or buying a gift for a client.
What do you have for lunch?
Another source of amusement to the office, I am very lucky in that my sister makes me lunch each day, it varies from chicken salad to homemade soup. However, some weeks I am even more fortunate and can be joining Lyndy in trying out the latest restaurant or café, part of what makes Absolute Taste so good is keeping on top of the latest places and the newest foods, I have eaten in some of the best places in London thanks to my role and have learnt an awful lot about food on the journey.
What is the hardest part of your day?
I don't think a day goes past when I don't hear the phrase 'I have an impossible task for you…' which instantly ignites my stubborn streak. I never like to fail and so these are the tasks that I love the most. This can be from getting a last minute table reservation to finding a salon for Truffie, Lyndy's gorgeous cocker spaniel, or making Lyndy's vision a reality – this is the hardest part, but how boring would it be if it was all easy?! Oh and getting visas…this has to be the worst, for all the countries we go there are a large number to do throughout the year and lots of forms to keep filling in, I know some people's details better than my own.
What do you enjoy most about your role?
The variation, I don't think anyone could get bored sat in my chair. I can be working at a Grand Prix circuit one day and then back at my desk in Wandsworth the next. I don't get out on many events anymore, I tend to help in the build up but when I do I love it, the buzz at the end of the night, often as the sun comes up, knowing you have delivered the best party for the client. Most recently I have travelled to St Petersburg for the Extreme Sailing series which was an experience, 22hrs daylight and the loudest canon you have ever heard at 12pm every day but something I would never get to experience otherwise.
What has been your career highlight?
Gosh, that is tricky as there has been so many big and small. Working at Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday party that we did in Hyde Park and seeing such an iconic man in the flesh has to be the absolute highlight, although seeing Prince William sing living on a prayer with Jon Bon Jovi must feature highly. Hearing an F1 car for the first time as you stand in the garage is also a moment I won't forget. Something I love is seeing someone else's experience for the first time too.
What do you do in the evening with your spare time?
I try to get exercise in every day and so if I failed in the morning then I do this as soon as I get home. I love sport and so the weekends usually involve me watching rugby in particular and socialising with friends. I am partial to a vino it has to be said. In the summer I play cricket for Richmond Ladies and so the training and matches take up more of my time, but that is very social too, a pimms on the outfield is never a bad thing!
What is the one piece of advice you would give to other assistants?
Laugh! It is work and so it isn't going to be a 'knees up' everyday but I really believe you must enjoy what you do most of the time. I can honestly say we laugh every day, it is good for everyone and if you are happy then others will be around you too. This is rather clichéd isn't it but I do feel quite strongly about it.
What would you do if you were not an assistant?
Well I never really knew I was going to be a PA in all honesty, I studied history at university because I loved it not with a career choice in mind. Because of my love of sport I always wanted to be a physio, my ideal was to kneel on the side of the rugby pitch waiting for someone to need the magic sponge!

The Global Times (as one would expect) has decided to take this whole Ai Weiwei nonsense head on. For those of you who have trouble reading between the lines of Chinese newspapers (i.e., no one), we're providing a translation. Note: this is our first ever gibberish-to-English translation ((Another note: this is meant to be funny, if you hadn't guessed already.))
Political activism cannot be a legal shield
Chinese artist Ai Weiwei is being investigated over "suspected economic crimes," according to authorities Thursday. Some Western media outlets immediately questioned the charge as a "catch-all crime," and insisted on interpreting the case in their own way.
Translation: Despite our explicit instructions to the contrary, you annoying foreigners have a habit of "interpreting" things based on sources, factual data, historical precedents, and common sense, rather than the Ministry of Culture's press releases.
Western media claimed that Ai was "missing" or had "disappeared" in previous reports, despite their acknowledgement of Ai's detainment. They used such words to paint the Chinese government as a "kidnapper."
Translation: Look, just because we dragged the guy away, refused to admit it for several days, and didn't tell anyone in his family doesn't mean we kidnapped the guy! We prefer to call it surprise involuntary secret fun time.
Now they describe the police's charge as "laughable" and flout the spirit of the law. They depict anyone conducting anti-government activities in China as being innocent, and as being exempt unconditionally from legal pursuit.
Translation: Just because we arrest a whole bunch of dissidents, you act like we're cracking down on dissidents or something? Baseless. These guys just all cheated on their taxes. At the same time.
Diplomats and officials from countries such as the US and Germany on Wednesday rebuked China once again over human rights. A mayor from South Korea also issued a statement pressuring China to release Ai soon. Such intensive intervention has barely been seen in China of late.
Translation: We really enjoyed that downtime during the worst of the recession, when all of you shut up because you were afraid we would call in your debts.
Ai's detention is one of the many judicial cases handled in China every day. It is pure fantasy to conclude that Ai's case will be handled specially and unfairly. The era of judicial cases involving severely unjust, false or wrong charges has gone.
Translation: Look, our terrible track record is no reason to just assume this trial will also be rigged! After all, it's not like our court system is totally beholden to some kind of political apparatus or…oh. Nevermind.
Nowadays, corrupt officials and the occasional dissident may view their own cases as being handled unfairly: The former believe their merits offset faults, and the latter see China's legal system as maintaining an "illegal" existence. Ai once said China was living a "crazy, black" era. This is not the mainstream perception among Chinese society.
Translation: Forget about that whole "economic crimes" thing. That's so five paragraphs ago. Ai is a dissident whose views are out of touch with mainstream society!
China's legal system ensures the basic order of this large-scale country. It guarantees the balanced development of civil livelihood and social establishment. Besides, it maintains an economic order that not only propels domestic growth but also generates foreign exchange powerful enough to purchase US treasury bonds.
Translation: Before you criticize our legal system, remember you owe us money!
The integrated legal system is the framework of China. The West wants to bring changes to this framework, shaping it as they please, and transforming the nation into a compliant puppet. They have succeeded in creating many such puppets around the world.
Translation: Our legal system is very integrated, in that it is governed by and answers to the Party. Western, non-integrated judicial systems are merely imperialist plots.
China is not the dangerous place of Western description. Otherwise, Ai would not have returned to China from the US, and Western diplomats and businessmen would not view China as the best place for doing business. But like other safe places in the world, China is only safe for law-abiding citizens, and nobody is allowed to see illegal acts go unpunished.
Translation: China is not a dangerous place unless you break the law. Don't ask which law, though. We prefer to just detain you first, and keep that whole law part a surprise until we've decided which one you broke.
The charge of "suspected economic crimes" does not mean Ai will be found guilty. The case should be handled properly through legal procedures, and Western pressure should not weigh upon the court's decision.
Translation: That said, we might be totally making all this "economic crimes" stuff up.
If Ai's "suspected economic crimes" are justified, the conviction should not consider his "pro-democracy" activities. The only relation between the two is probably the lesson that anyone who engages in political activities needs to keep "clean hands."
Translation: Here is the part where we say something rational, to make you feel like everything else we said might have also made sense. But then we follow that up with a warning about how people who engage in politics need to be careful! Except, of course, actual politicians. Because who are we kidding, they can do whatever the fuck they want!
If Ai is found not guilty, his acquittal should transcend politics too. However the authorities should learn to be more cautious and find sufficient evidence before detaining public figures next time.
Translation: We are starting to feel a little nervous about this whole thing, though.
This is just meant as a humor piece. In actuality, the Global Times is right that if Ai Weiwei has actually committed economic crimes, he should be convicted, and that his "pro-democracy" activities shouldn't affect his sentence in this case one way or the other. However, even if these crimes are real — and there's not a shred of evidence yet that they are — one wonders if all the manpower spent on investigating the finances of a man who makes art installations for a living might be better spent investigating the guys who make tofu buildings, poisoned foods, and fake baijiu for a living (or, better yet, the government workers who "supervise" them!).
In actuality, if there are crimes, China certainly has the right to make that case, and I don't see why the police should be required to present evidence to the media at this juncture. That said, from a PR standpoint, they must understand that in the overall context of the past few months and in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, journalists really have no choice but to interpret the arrest as political. And the long delay in naming the reason for Ai's arrest (and confirming he was arrested at all) did not look good. If this is a totally legitimate case, China has a right to prosecute it, but it's hardly fair to get upset at people for drawing one conclusion if you refuse to give them any evidence that points toward the other.
For the Nth time, China needs to hire some PR people who understand the Western media. Either that, or stop caring what the Western media says.
Me, I'm a fan of innocent until proven guilty, so: Free Ai Weiwei.

In the week since Lela returned to Rhode Island as Captain of the Guard with Malachi as her second in command, local news has been dominated by chilling sightings of human-like creatures running on all fours. Lela knows there's only one explanation: the Mazikin have arrived in the land of the living.
Needing to maintain the appearance of a normal life for her foster mother, her probation officer, and her classmates, Lela returns to Warwick High along with Malachi. At night they secretly hunt for the Mazikin nest. To assist, two new Guards from very different parts of the Shadowlands are assigned to Lela's unit, including the bad boy Jim, who repeatedly challenges Lela's authority. Lela struggles to keep all her Guards on the right side of the law, but their mistakes come at a terrible cost.
As one painful revelation follows another and the Mazikin start targeting those closest to her, Lela finds herself more vulnerable than she's ever been, wanting a future more than she ever has. With an enemy determined to separate soul from body, one question remains: how much is she willing to sacrifice to protect those she loves?
Oh My Thuddingg Heart
I felt completely blindsided by the turn of events. Book one was so so, but this.. THIS IS HEARTBREAKING. I was glad I'd kept with the series.
Story picked up from where it'd left off last book. Lela was sent back to ….and with you know who if you've read this. That was a little nice surprise. It's quite humorous to witness how a warrior gets situated in this new environment. The rules and everything were completely different. It's a new game, but one that's not really to their advantage even if it's obviously more comfortable. Things started off ok, then it turned sour, then in the end it made a 900 degree (cuz 180 didn't seem big enough to describe it) towards bad. The shock value went through the roof, my rapidly beating heart can attest.
Twisting plotline aside, it's not missing out on other must have qualities either: actions, character development (not just the main characters, the side characters were also very fleshed out eg. Jim, Ian, Tegan), sexual tension.
This one will forever stay in my heart as one of the most riveting stories I had ever read. I can't wait to see what happens next. Yes, this ended with a cliff!!

Two companies have recently made drastic changes to their corporate identities via stock splits. On April 3, 2014, Google issued its first stock split, a 2 for 1 affair that saw the creation of a new class of stock and symbol. Google will now trade under two symbols: GOOG and GOOGL, both around $525 dollars per share. Before the split Google's share price was over $1,000 – but even at half the post-split price, it's still a high priced stock. And there's a message in that.
Google has been on an investment tare for quite a while. Like many companies, Google uses its stock as cash to invest, acquire new businesses, and compensate employees. As a result, equity positions for the founding members (Larry Page and Sergey Brin) got diluted every time a transaction like those took place. So to avoid losing control of their company, and while continuing to aggressively pursue and invest in growth opportunities, Page and Brin created a new class of stock (which will be traded under the original symbol GOOG) that will have no voting rights. Needless to say, new acquisitions and investments will be financed with GOOG stock, thus maintaining the sanctity and stability of ownership under the GOOGL symbol.
Here's how the two Google symbols performed since the split.
As you can see, stock with voting rights has more value than non-voting shares do. This is generally true with all companies. But the point to take away is this: Google made its stock split decision solely to maintain corporate ownership control by founding members, Page and Brin. The slim 2 for 1 split was a tactic employed to do simply that.
This is much to the contrary of Apple's decision to split. Just a few days ago on April 24, 2014, Apple made a startling announcement of a 7 to 1 stock-split to become effective on June 9, 2014. There will be no new class of share issued, which is to say that maintaining current ownership control had absolutely nothing to do with Apple's decision.
Instead, the decision was made to "make Apple stock more accessible to a larger number of investors." In other words, their stock split decision was made primarily to increase demand for Apple stock, to thus raise the share price and produce a more robust return on investment to investors than otherwise would be had.
Apple's stock climbed $43 to $567 per share, or 8%, on the announcement. News of the stock split was accompanied by a commitment to increase Apple's dividend and stock buyback program. Positive earnings were also reported – all of which contributed to the upward move. If Apple stock were to split today its share price would be around $80 per share.
The 7 to 1 split ratio is an interesting rate of change. Late last year MasterCard executed a 10 to 1 stock split that also brought its per share price down to $80 – about half the price of Visa, the most widely used card. A 10 to 1 split would make Apple stock even more accessible (around $55 per share) and, in theory, would create even more investor demand.
But creating demand wasn't the only factor in Apple's stock-split decision.
It is quite clear that Tim Cook doesn't want Apple's stock price to be anywhere near Google's – they are two different companies, in two different modes. Cook wanted no part of an Apple–Google comparison. They're too different.
Instead, Apple took a page from MasterCard's book and split to a ratio placing it properly to their nearest competitor. Microsoft, which is now trading around $40 per share, is half the amount Apple will be trading post-split. That's where Tim Cook places Apple in the technology food-chain.
There is little doubt that Tim Cook doesn't want to be the next Steve Ballmer (Bill Gates' successor). Ballmer failed to innovate or successfully invest during his tenure at Microsoft's helm, and investor ROI was pathetic – especially when considering Microsoft's obnoxious cash balance and net worth during the time. Cook won't make that same mistake. Aggressive stock buybacks, increased dividends, and a lower stock price are tactics employed to combat that specific case.
Decision points like IPO's and stock splits send important positioning messages from management. It is the only place corporations can provide a starting price for its stock to trade. Free markets, of course, determine value once trading commences.
That said, logic can only surmise that Cook is positioning Apple for pedestrian operating growth to be offset by strong stock performance via higher dividends and stock buybacks, and hopefully new demand driven by a lower priced stock.
Google, on the other hand, is positioning itself to continue aggressively investing in future growth under the same ownership structure, while maintaining a premium image with a double dose of higher priced stocks.
Google has sent the stronger message; and is a component of the 15-51 strength indicator.
The market message remains the same: stocks are high, strength is higher, and gold is about fair.
Stay tuned…

The first traces of settlement in the area of modern Budapest date back to the 1 century AD.
In 1873, Buda and Pest were officially merged with the third part, Óbuda (Old Buda), thus creating the new metropolis of Budapest. With Gothic remains, the Inner City Parish Church, built in the 12th century, is one of the oldest surviving buildings in Budapest.

We know if that all-female Marvel team that the MCU's stars have been pushing for had faced Thanos down in Avengers: Infinity War (and not been either spread super thin with second-string baddies or not in the movie at all), then the Mad Titan wouldn't have stood a chance. But something sadistic in fans wants to know exactly how it'd go down.
Thankfully, Ant-Man and the Wasp star Evangeline Lilly spoke to PopBuzz about being Wasp, and she wasn't shy about her murderous plans — or her plans on getting the gang together to make that girl squad a reality.
Check it out:
So yes, of course, we want a Captain Marvel-led female Avengers (though despite her military experience in the Air Force, she's never technically been a general like Nick Fury, as Lilly claims), and we'd love for it to "reinvent the wheel" as Lilly ambitiously hopes. But also, hearing Lilly's plan to take out Thanos is so cathartic and gruesome that it's hard to think about anything else.
"Because I would have been on [the team], and it means I would have shrunk very small, [and] I would have flown into Thanos' ear, punched a hole in his brain, and he would have fallen down dead," Lilly said. "Simple." Awesome. Why doesn't Marvel show what happens to its fallen foes' brains more? Where are the Mortal Kombat x-rays? If The Wasp is going to kill Thanos from the inside out, it would be one of the more epic ways of killing a supervillain -- and certainly the coolest seen on screen.
But until we have that all-female MCU entry, that kind of gore and violence just won't happen, because the male Avengers -- apparently -- just don't have what it takes.

Edited and checked for accuracy by Melissa W. Robinson
The end of a relationship with a spouse can be hard. There are so many details to worry about that the whole ordeal can be overwhelming. Throughout a divorce, couples with children need to worry not only about their experience but also about what their kids are going through. This experience is especially trying for them, so here are a few tips about what you should do for your kids during the divorce process.
1. Don't pressure them to pick sides.
There are many reasons why married couples decide to get a divorce, and some of those reasons leave hard feelings between them. Despite these feelings, you should never make your kids feel like they need to pick a parent. Having to choose one parent is far too much stress for a child, and can leave them feeling more strain in this divorce than you are.
2. Treat them with respect.
Even if your kids are young, they deserve to know what is going on. Kids are smart, and they can tell when something's not right. Be upfront with your kids about the divorce. They are a part of the family too and need to know what's happening in order to anticipate the upcoming changes in their life.
3. Don't use them as a therapy session.
Your kids will always love you and want to help you during this time. That doesn't mean that you should worry them about your problems. All this will accomplish is adding unnecessary stress to your child. If you need someone to talk to, visit a licensed therapist. They will know so much more about how to help you than your child does.
4. Don't talk badly about your Ex in front of them.
Even if you hate your Ex, your child likely doesn't. That person is still their mom or dad. Your child has their DNA, habits, and dimples. When you insult your Ex in front of your kids, they may feel like you are insulting them as well.
5. Be there for them.
As much heartache and stress as you are going through, your kids are having just as rough of a time. Make sure that you're there when they need someone to talk to. Don't try to buy their love and affection, but make sure that you give them your time instead.

FM asks bourses for inputs on increasing market liquidity
The Finance Ministry on Tuesday asked stock exchanges to provide "consolidated inputs" for improving the depth and liquidity of stock markets. They were also asked to give suggestions for expediting the setting up of SME platforms so that resource mobilisation by SMEs can be facilitated. The move to ask stock exchanges to provide their inputs in writing came at a meeting convened by the Finance Ministry here today. All the leading bourses, certain broker associations and representatives of select regional stock exchanges were represented at the meeting.

People around the globe desire greater internet speeds, which is understandable since almost any kind of work requires a fast-paced internet connection. The current 4G connectivity offered by carriers are relatively faster than its predecessors, the 3G, and 2G, but people are looking forward to even faster connections. According to estimates, the search for greater speeds may finally be over by as soon as 2019 when the next-generation of Internet Connectivity, the 5G, launches.
5G could launch by 2019
There has been a lot of speculation regarding the impending 5G technology, which is said to trump the current 4G connections in terms of speed. In a recent interview, Qualcomm CEO Steve Mollenkopf said that 5G connections could be a reality by the year 2019. This is a year or two earlier than what industry insiders were predicting. However, Mollenkopf claims that the technological developments needed for 5G connections are coming up at a rapid rate, which leads him to believe that it would be ready by 2019.
5G connections could mean greatly improved bandwidth and speeds, so much so that it is expected to send and receive data faster than the home Wi-Fi systems currently setup at people's houses. It would also mean better speeds than the old wired plug in networks that people use at work. In fact, some people claim that 5G would give people Gigabit rate speeds, which are the fastest that is available at present.
What is driving the 5G revolution?
There can be no doubt that companies are trying to come up with 5G connectivity in response to the huge demand for better internet connectivity from the consumers and the average people. A great part of those demands has emerged for the need for higher speeds and bandwidth due to video playback. Casual internet users spend a majority of their time on the internet to stream videos or movies.
With platforms like Netflix, YouTube, and other video streaming services the consumers are surrounded by high-quality programming which is only available via the internet. However, due to the limited bandwidth offered to each customer, they are unable to freely access these videos and have to constantly monitor how much of the allotted bandwidth they have gone through.
People expect that with 5G, carriers will provide a network through which users will be able to freely access the internet, without them having to worry about bandwidth limitations and their speeds being throttled.
This is why there are such high expectations from the next generation of internet connectivity. It now remains to be seen whether 2019 really will be the year when 5G launches in the markets.

Navigating the complex world of wedding etiquette can be exhausting. From the moment the ring is on your finger the wheels are in motion and it's time to consider how to politely navigate the big day with your guests. Weddings can be sensitive events, one wrong foot and you can burn some serious bridges with friends and family.
If you have questions when it comes to your engagement party invitations then read on below for our advice.
Are engagement party invitations a must?
In short no, a lot of couples are now willing to forgo the announcements and engagement party invitations and settle for modern calls, texts, emails and social media to ask guests to join them. Formal stationary after all can be expensive and there is plenty of time for that when it comes to the save-the-dates and wedding stationary. This is a perfectly fine approach but sometimes formal stationary is the better choice for some couples.
If the guest list is long, made up of relatives who are not so tech savvy, or simply friends who will appreciate pretty stationary then it is well worth it to send them out by snail mail. There are also many very attractive electronic options available that come across as a little less casual then a text but don't require quite as much effort.
It's up to the individual couples, the timing of their event and the individual circumstances of their guests to determine what's right for them.
Does it need to align with the tone of the wedding?
Whilst it's nice to have all your stationary perfectly aligned across a certain theme or colour scheme, it's unlikely that you'll be able to do this. At the engagement party stage you probably won't have completed much detailed planning, if any, and it's unlikely you'll know the small details of how your engagement party invitations and wedding stationary should marry together.
Choose something you like. Even if you think you have it all planned out at this stage, events evolve and you don't want to end up locked into a theme or colour scheme set in the early planning stages.
A stationary choice that is reflective of you as a couple is the perfect choice. The event should be looked at as a standalone event, a teaser for the wedding later on down the track.
Who should we invite?
The number one rule to follow is that you should not send engagement party invitations to anyone that you do not intend to ask to your wedding. It's poor etiquette and will make you look like you are being greedy for gifts. Generally these events are usually home-based, so it's not necessary to ask out-of-towners to attend. It's nice to extend the gesture if they may want to come, but rude to put the expectation on guests to travel for the event – save that for the wedding day itself!
Asking close friend and relatives who live in the area is usually the best idea. These events to celebrate couples are usually thrown together quickly so it's no always possible to give a great deal of notice but sending your engagement party invitations as soon as you can is usually much appreciated.
What should the wording include?
Make sure to include all the important details like the name of the couple, date of the event, location and the name of the host and how to RSVP. These events are usually thrown by the bridal group so it's important that expectations around making the day special for the bride are set early.

This is Guermillo (pronounced Ge-er-mo, real name: Bill), his lovely wife Liz & some tall, dark, handsome man who crashed my dinner date with this fabulous couple. Joking! Surely you know that man is my husband. Saturday we went over to their home & had a lovely evening. I made Shrimp Pie which is a great meal for a small crowd & easily portable. They have the most impressive garden. It's really more like a farm, filled with fig, peach, apple & pear trees, blueberries, raspberries, grape-vines of multiple varieties & veggies galore. Do you see why we were automatically drawn to these folks? Not to mention they are so kind & have a great sense of humor. I am excited to share more pictures of their garden come Summer & Spring when everything is in full force. However, even now when things are dormant & certain veggies are only just starting to germinate, to me their yard is still filled with so much life. A few asparagus making a debut, blooms on the peach tree preparing to make fruit, grape vines "bleeding" from pruning & a rosemary bush large & fragrant like you wouldn't believe. Liz also has some beautiful tulips growing in the front yard.
We refer to Liz & Guermillo as our adopted North Carolina parents. They let us "grocery shop" in their garden, supplying our kitchen with delicious fresh produce. This summer, because of them, we ate zucchini blossoms for the first time & still have pesto & tomato sauce in the freezer thanks to their green thumbs. Guermillo & Liz have provided us with such great insight on marriage, family & religious faith. It is becoming a tradition that ever so often we catch up at their home for garden tours, wine & general life talk. The conversations have no boundaries. With the homemade wine flowing & a beautiful garden setting I guess we loosen up!
That's right-they make their own wine. Not just any wine either. Their wine is from the grapes, peaches, pears, apples & figs that they grow themselves. Talk about home-grown & local. I was so pleasantly surprised when I first tried a sip of Guermillo's "Good Figging Wine" (he has some clever titles). Expecting overly sweet syrup-like wine like most NC wines I have had, I was wrong. Every wine that he has made has been "pearfect." Even the "sweet wine" is just more fragrant with a natural hint of the certain fruit but not over powering where you don't know if you are drinking wine or juice. He makes both white & red, sweet & dry. It really is the best! And he is so knowledgeable about the process-start to finish. From growing the grapes to bottling. Did you know in parts of Bordeaux or the wine region of France it is illegal to harvest grapes too early? Even on your own property? Apparently it is easy to mistakenly think a grape is ripe, it looks, smells & tastes ripe, but likely isn't for another month or so. Letting it sit on the vine until peak at it's full potential will make for much better tasting wine. Guermillo uses the best practices when making his. He has books filled with notes on tannin, fermenting, dates & procedures. Next time we head over there I am bringing my wine journal I received as a gift a few years ago to take some real notes. Chris and I think he should retire already and open a winery. People would be lining up!

Inside Bangkok's booming breakfast scene
Mornings in the Thai capital get a delicious makeover. Here are five perks of being an early bird.
In a metropolis celebrated for its street food, Bangkok has recently seen an insurgence of hip café haunts taking breakfast and brunching to a whole new level. With the traditional four flavours of Thai cooking (sweet, salty, spicy, and sour) making way for a more creative palate, the breakfast scene in the City of Angels has a new, taste-led motivation.

Seeders are a vital part of DECENT Network. They are responsible for establishing the Decentralized Distribution Model by seeding digital content and making it available for the community. Seeders will earn DCT as a reward for their contribution to the functionality of the network.
Seeders will host media content in the form of offered bandwidth and filespace. Multiple seeders (a network minimum of 3) providing their own computer capacity to store and distribute digital content cuts out the need for a central server, creating the decentralized aspect of DECENT Network.
DCT rewards for seeding content are purely market-handled and subject to proof of retrievability. Seeders advertise their price for hosting files and authors (content creators who want their content distributed over the network) will contact them by meeting their conditions. Every 24 hours after this agreement the seeder will be rewarded with DCT for his hosting services. Proof of retrievability is the "checks and balances" of this process, which ensures the content being seeded is accurate and complete. Based on this validation, the reward for seeding and payment from the consumer to the publisher is guaranteed.
How to start seeding on DECENT:
Please note, that seeding will be available after the launch of DECENT Network.

Is anyone aware of any knock on effects or ramifications of applying this change via the Windows explorer method (other than having to update the quick launch or other related navigation)?
Great tip btw.
Often we come up with a requirement of changing name and URL of list or library, but merely changing the name of the list or library from list or library settings -- > General Settings -- > List name, description and navigation does not change the list or library URL.
There are several ways to change the URL and they are as follows:
1. Using PowerShell
Changing the URL is possible by moving the root folder to a new URL. Here is a PowerShell script to change the URL of an existing library:
Open the site in SharePoint Designer, navigate to All Files in Site Objects.
Right click the list and click "Rename" to rename it or drag and drop to move it to another folder. For example a list can be moved outside "/Lists" and the URL will change from "webUrl/Lists/List1" to "webUrl/List1".
3. By Opening the List or Library in Windows Explorer
The process is similar to that of SharePoint Designer using Windows Explorer. To get to all files and folders of the site open a SharePoint document library with Windows Explorer by clicking "Open with Explorer" in the site ribbon.
You can open the site in explorer directly from designer:
Then in Windows Explorer move up in the folders hierarchy to show all the files and folders in the root of the site. You can rename a list/library and you can drag and drop the list's root folder to add/remove parts of the URL as in the example with SharePoint Designer above.
Because standard lists don't have the option in the Ribbon "Open in Explorer" you can use any document library just to get to the folders of the site as explained above and then find your list and rename/move it.
Though it is possible to change an existing URL list or library but Hyperlinks in Quick Launch will continue to point to the old URL of the list. Therefore, after changing the URL, you need to update the quick launch to reflect the new list name and URL from global navigation or pro-grammatically change if customized component dependencies are present.
Is anyone aware of any knock on effects or ramifications of applying this change via the Windows explorer method (other than having to update the quick launch or other related navigation)?
Great tip btw.
The above is not working when Document library exceeded threshold value. ie, 5000
Kindly suggest
Hi Shubham,
Considering you are using either SharePoint 2010 or SharePoint 2013 version.
This threshold of 5000 is, in fact, a limitation SQL server table which holds lists or libraries user interface, which prevents users to view items exceeds the prescribed threshold. Microsoft recommends moving excess list or library items to another list or library in this scenario.
By the way, providing below is a temporary workaround to cope with such limitations from SharePoint's end :
Increase List View Threshold from Central Admin Console > Manage Web Applications >On the ribbon click General Settings dropdown > Click on Resource throttling > Scale up the value of List View Threshold (default should be "5000").
Note: Increasing List View Threshold could substantially degrade SharePoint performance.
See if this helps
Thank you.

Here's our weekly award winners for the week of May 21.
Posch Builders recognizes Gray Fleming, 10A assistant coach, as the Coach of the Week. Gray took over head coaching duties for the tournament this weekend.
"Gray is a dedicated coach with such a positive attitude that helped keep the boys engaged and into the game despite the bad weather. Gray was instilling good Pony baseball with strong defense, hitting it down and hard and being aggressive on the bases. Many parents noticed his attitude and efforts and made comments about his ability to connect with the boys and the positive approach."
Austin Buck, Mason Buck, Ben Jackels, Tanner Voight, Charlie Mazanec, Jacob Carlson and Chris Longway win the Bayport Printing House Sportsmanship Stars of the Week for their day-long effort Sunday volunteering for field duty at the St. Croix Classic hosted by Stillwater Area Baseball after their own tournament was rained out.

Sam Anderson is the Dave's Sport Shop's Hitter of the Week. Sam went 7 for 14 with 5 doubles, a HR and 9 RBI. What a week!
The Stillwater Motors Player of the Week is Ryan Smithberg, who made a long throw from centerfield to first base to record the rare 8-3 putout, in the bottom of the 7th inning to preserve a victory
Kelley and Jerry Brenden are this week's Stillwater Current Volunteers of the Week. They worked all day, all three days of the St. Croix Classic, dealing with all the challenges that rain brings a baseball tournament. They played a major role in the positive reviews we received from other teams for how the tournament ran this weekend.
Jacob Algie umped seven days in a row last week, including this weekend's tournament and is Stillwater Area Baseball's Umpire of the Week.

Filed under: Day Rides
On March 30th, the tyranny of the tooth was over. After a day of starvation in prepartion for the sedative, the tooth was removed with far less anguish and hysterics than I anticipated. Whatever they gave me definitely took the edge off the world and left everything fuzzy. I was told not to cycled for two days or so.
Friday (April 2nd), my MIL came over to help with some spring cleaning and light redecorating in the livingroom with slip covers for the couches and new bamboo mats in place of the fur gathering oriental rug. It made it a bit difficult to escape for a ride and the weather was kinda 'bleah'.
Today dawned gloriously clear and I kept an eye on the temp. It was about 25 F when I woke. Around noonish, we were supposed to go to my in-laws for lunch. As it quickly warmed up, I had an inspiration to to take one of my 'short loops' that goes very close to my in-laws with Loke. Around 10 am, it was around 45 F, clear skies and almost no wind. PERFECT!
It turned out to be harder than I anticipated. I was having trouble catching my breath and it felt like a lot of work to push along. Loke wasn't exactly a speed demon either. It might have been the gravel in both of our cases. Increasing the rolling resistance for me and stinging Loke's paws. It will definitely be nice when 'The Great Vacuuming' begins.
What is 'The Great Vacuuming'? It is when all the gravel that has been laid down over snow and ice through the winter is picked up by these big trucks with vacuum like attachments. Some have arms that can swing out with large spinning brushes to gather the gravel out of the grass of medians and such. They'll clean up all the streets and cycle paths that have been graveled. Makes cycling (or even walking) so much nicer. It is definitely more needed this year than the previous ones since I've lived here. The sheer amount of snow was not quite record breaking, but was close.
I realize now, as I type this, once I turned onto a road that hadn't been graveled over the winter, our going became so much easier, even up the hills. With the warming sun on my black clothing and no wind as we pedaled through the country side, it became pleasant. Loke was quite happy to be out and running, but I still noticed that neither of us were exactly racing along. It was becoming clear that I was going to be late to my in-laws. Still, the day was so pretty I wasn't terribly worried, so I called to tell them to start without me if I was too late.
The snow has been going fast. Places solidly blanketed in white just two days ago are showing patches of earth beneath. A couple fields were almost clear entirely, showing the dark, almost rich black of the turned soil. It might have been the route, but there were far more meadow larks than there had been on my Ulva/Gamla Uppsala loop.
Along one part of the road, I had to stop for a train. I took the opportunity to give Loke some water and also to brush out some of his coat. He's been shedding like mad and we don't have dust bunnies in our apartment. We have dust whales. As I brushed him with a flurry of huge clumps and drifts of white swirling around us, I could see in my rear view mirror a couple of birds swooping down to gather up mouthfuls of the fur for nesting material. It was kinda fun to see.
There were a lot of horses out today as well. There was one moment that was a bit worrying. I was passing a barn when there was this tiny young woman with a HUGE horse. I don't mean huge in the sense of 'Clydesdale', but a very tall thoroughbred type. He saw us going along and his head went up as far as it could go and ears forward. Even from 30 meters away, I could see him tense up as did the woman leading him. Immediately, I slowed down and started calling out to him, praying he wouldn't take off and drag the woman with him. Thankfully, he just stood there and watched as we made our way by, me chattering cheerfully the entire time.
I also discovered something new and quite nice about this route. There was one stretch of it that goes along a quite busy road used for commuters to and from Uppsala from the surrounding tiny village areas. Last year, it meant riding on the shoulder for about a mile with cars and trucks whizzing past at 60 mph or so. It was a big shoulder, but still unpleasant when a truck or bus goes roaring by 8 feet away. Well, they've put in a cycle path!! A nice, smooth stretch of paving with lights (not that I need them) and a good sized ditched between the shoulder of the road and the path. More than 20 feet separating cyclists from traffic. It was so nice! It will be even nicer when they get the gravel off of it!
The rest of the trip was fairly uneventful. Loke and I continued to poke along. I did see a pair of cranes fly over head, which was nice. Loke saw a cat he really wanted to play with. Conveniently, it was on the way up a rather steep hill, so for that one I got a lot of help.
Not far after that, it became mostly residental and boring part of the ride. Loke recognized the area though and sped up quite a bit. He knew we were going to go see my husband's parents and he absolutely adores them. On this ride, I also bothered to stop and get a picture of Vaksala kyrka. I rather like this church. It's a bit like Danmark and Jumkil churches combined. As often as I've ridden this route, this is the first time I clicked it. This makes church #2 photographed for the year. I'm only counting those I haven't already 'collected'. As I always try to do now, there is information if you click the photo.
Loke was almost running flat out for the last mile to my in-laws. He wasn't overly tired since the run had only been around 11 miles. Still, it took a bit of an edge of the hysterical energy he generally has when we visit them and he calmed down very quickly once he got over the inital excitement. I parked my trike in their garage and went up to a nice meal of nettle soup, bread, cheese and Swedish waffles with strawberry preserves and whipped cream. Mmmmm…. Loke even got some cheese and ice cream!
A very nice day.
Oh! Before I forget! My husband got me a new toy. He decided I was doing so well with the whole dental phobia thing and knew I was a bit upset over the idea of losing a tooth, he mentioned that maybe when I got it pulled, we would get me a Garmin Edge 705. When I staggered home, still a bit foggy from sedative and pain meds, on March 30th, he suddenly handed me a bag with the new cycle GPS and European map. I was so thrilled. At least… I think I was. I know I was when I woke up from a 2 hour nap. *hehe* I'm hoping this will help with my touring so I can find places to refill water and buy groceries! Just like a car GPS, it lets me search for places and will guide me to them! Just makes me giddily eager for my first tour!!
Now I just need to make sure I have everything I need. *sigh*

Grizzlies nip Wizards in 'dogfight'
October 22, 2004
WINDSOR — The Northridge football coaches called the game "a step backward" offensively, but they emphasized it was also an important Class 3A Tri-Valley Conference win.
The Grizzlies (5-2, 6-2) defeated the Windsor Wizards (2-5, 3-5) 20-13 Friday night at H.J. Dudley Field to keep their playoff hopes alive, but it was a defensive adjustment and a strong defensive effort that ensured the win.
The Wizards served notice that they were not to be taken lightly as they scored the game's first touchdown on an 11-play, 80-yard drive to open the game. Zach Weakland, who had 105 yards rushing in the first half, did the brunt of the work, carrying six times in the opening drive including the final 1-yard scoring play.
The Grizzlies got their passing game moving on their second possession of the first quarter. They scored on the first play of the second period. Quarterback Jarred Wallace found Billy Mansfield on a 30-yard play, and Josh Sorensen added the point after to tie the game at 7-7.
Sorensen figured in the Grizzlies' go-ahead drive later in the second quarter as he muffed the snap on a fourth-and-20 situation at his own 17-yard line. Scrambling to his left, he picked up 22 yards for a drive extending first down. The Grizzlies went ahead to score their second touchdown on a 34-yard M.J. Crespin reception of a Wallace pass.
Unfortunately, another snafu on a punt gave the Wizards possession on the Northridge 9-yard line, and Weakland again scored to tie the score at 13-13 at halftime.
Recommended Stories For You
Senior linebacker Dustin Huggans said that the Grizzlies knew that they had to step it up in order to contain Weakland.
"It was just us," he said. "We had to do what we do."
Grizzly coach Jeff Fulton said that Northridge had made one concession to Weakland's running — moving a safety up to mirror the Wizard running back. But he gave credit to Huggans, whom he described as a hard-working and deserving senior, and sophomore linebacker Dylan Schroeder for adjusting to and stopping the Windsor running game.
Weakland gained only 28 yards the second half.
Fulton said Huggans spent a lot of time in the weight room last summer after getting little playing time his first three years.
"We call him our hybrid on defense," Fulton said. "He was a linebacker, but when we had an injury at end, we moved him there. Then when we had a linebacker get hurt, we moved him back."
He will probably remain at linebacker after he made a possibly game-saving interception with less than a minute remaining in the game as the Wizards drove for a tying score.
The Grizzlies were leading 20-13 after a Jason Dudley touchdown, but Windsor had the ball on the Northridge 19 when Huggans stepped in front of a Wizard pass to seal the win.
"We were inconsistent, but we're going to get that fixed," Fulton said.

Fishing Journal. April 3rd 2017. A damn fine bend in my rod
Fishing Journal. April 3rd 2017. A damn fine bend in my rod
Fishing Journal. April 3rd 2017.
A damn fine bend in my rod was experienced when my light tackle hit on a carp and here is the story
First my tackle choice for the day was as per this list
- My trusty http://www.davecarrera.com/shakespeare-mach3-xt-lite-match/ rod
- 6lb line to a 6lb hook link and size 16 hook
- my handmade 6″ balsa float with 2 x SSG & 1 x No.1 shot to lock , a No.1 half way and a No.10 tell tail shot
I decided to fish the day using traditional baits like Hemp, Maggots and this time Sweetcorn which gave me early success landing some small but feisty Roach, Perch and to my pleasure a couple of Gudgeon.
Fishing close in to about 2 rod lengths out mainly to my left as the wind was forcing my focus that way, I took a punt and sent a single piece of sweetcorn out to my right about 20 feet, corrected the line and within minutes I hit on a lump that put a definite unmistakable Carp bend in my rod.
As may know already by reading other posts here, I have a short 3lb TC carp rig setup and have landed double figure carp on that which makes Carp fishing easy compared to managing the twists and turns, ducks and dives or a Carp that does not want to play ball.
The Dual
At one point during our dual, I thought the Carp hand snagged me in some yet to bloom sunken lilies but with a bit of bullish persuasion , that "twang" you get down the line and into the handle of the rod, which at first made me think the line had given in, was replaced with renewed joy as she was still on and fighting tough.
Here is a short video I was able to take on my mobile phone to show that mighty good bend, I thank you 🙂
After about a 15 minute fight the Carp offed its big lips above the water signalling it was ready to have its picture taken, weighed in and shared with you guys.
It is always great fun playing a double figure Carp on light tackle, much more fun than dragging it in on the heavier gear. This was the icing on the cake for a day going back to traditional non fussy baits which along with this beautiful Carp landed me Roach, Perch, Gudgeon and 3lb + size Bream, all within 25feet of the bank
I am already planning another adventure out to see what the fishing gods allow me to share with you and please return soon to see what fishing fun I get up to next time.
As always I wish you the very tightest of tight lines

Do you have an interest in photography, but are not sure what to do with it? Experiment with different angles and lighting techniques to see how the mood of your photograph is affected. Even if you already have photography experience, you can always use some extra advice, and this article is filled with tips that you can you use when taking pictures.
To create pictures that resemble things like water colors, sketches, or oil paintings, use digital methods. Many software packages are available, with Adobe Photoshop being the most popular. With image editing software, transforming your photograph into a painting is sometimes as easy as applying a simple filter or mask.
When taking pictures of people, make sure that the background is slightly blurred. If your background is focused it might take some focus off of your subject. You can do this by simply moving your background even further away from the subject.
Be careful when packing cameras and other photography equipment prior to a trip. Take all different kinds of lenses, and make sure you take cleaning accessories and enough batteries. Try and think what is most important on your trip and how convenient it is carry to carry around.
Take down notes when you're shooting pictures. When you look at your hundreds of shot, it could be difficult to remember where they were taken or your feelings at that time. Use a notepad to jot down a few notes about the pictures you take.
Hold your breath while taking pictures to get the perfect shot, all while remaining still. Any slight movement can ruin a shot. Some people agree that it's best to stop breathing right before pressing the button, as a way of personally steadying yourself.
Visit a thrift store to buy a film camera if you would like to test out the older film-based photography. Use black-and-white film that has an ISO value of 200 for dramatic photographs. When you have the film developed, have it printed on some different kinds of papers.
Effectively mastering the use of ISO functioning can make or break your photographs. An increased ISO lets you see more. If your shot needs the grain it is fine; if not, it could be devastating.
Try taking pictures from original angles. Unique angles bring a new dimension into your photography. For example, you can change the angle by standing above your subject and looking down. Try framing shots sideways or on a diagonal to make an interesting composition.
Filters are simply additions you can purchase for your lenses. Filters alter the light entering the camera, and can create various special effects. A UV filter is the most common type of filter. It keeps harmful direct sunlight off of your lens. The damage incurred by dropping your camera is also reduced when you have a filter.
It takes both time and hard work to learn what it takes to take amazing photographs. Remember that photography is subjective and that you cannot be wrong or right. Only your personal vision matters.

For years people insisted that their phones magically slowed down when newer models were released, which was often dismissed as a trick of the mind among other things. Then it was revealed Apple really has started slowing down older handsets, purportedly to prevent ageing batteries from crashing iOS.
This made a lot of people very angry and was widely regarded as a bad move, since people saw it as Apple deliberately slowing down older handsets to increase the sales of newer models. That concept is known as planned obsolescence, and it's illegal in France - which is why the country is investigating.
Prosecutors are launching an investigation into the company, which is being led by the economy ministry's consumer protection agency, and follows a complaint from pro-consumer group Stop Planned Obsolescence (Hop). According to Hop an investigation makes France the third country to investigate Apple's actions (after US and Israel), but is the first where planned obsolescence is illegal.
Punishments include being fined up to five per cent of its annual turnover, or even jail sentences. You can't exactly send a giant multinational company to prison, so it's not exactly clear who would go should the investigation find evidence the allegations are true.
Hop has filed similar complaints in the past, including ones aimed at printer companies Epson, Canon, HP and Brother, alleging that they had been deliberately shortening the lifespan of their ink cartridges.
Ever since the information came to light Apple has been nothing but apologetic, even reducing the price of a battery replacement to £25. It claims that a new battery is enough to restore throttled phones back to their original speeds, while also promising to be more transparent about these issues in the future.
Meanwhile Samsung, LG, HTC, and Motorola have denied they slow down phones in this manner. While it seems unlikely Apple would be the only tech company to do this deliberately, you can be sure that anyone else caught up in this practice is going to start thinking twice about keeping it a secret.
If you do have an iPhone that seems slow, Apple seems more than happy to replace it for you - whether you actually need it or not. So here's how you can check to see whether it actually needs replacing. In the meantime this story isn't likely to go away anytime soon, so we'll be sure to keep you all informed of any updates.

Who are we?
Are you retired or out of work and want something to do.. then look no further!
'Men's Sheds' is a network of local 'Sheds' where men can meet up to undertake hobbies among the company of like minded people. The original idea was started in Australia in 1996 and they have about 2000 'Sheds' throughout the country. Ireland has around 200, England has around 15 and Wales has 6.
We are lucky that we have several existing 'Sheds' in Buckingham, Aylesbury and Milton Keynes so we are in good company and sharing their experiences and resources.
'Men's Sheds' are friendly workshops where men can gather and work together, share skills and knowledge or just have a chat and a laugh over a coffee.
We are preparing facilities with wood working equipment, light gym equipment, pool table and 'comfy chairs'. Anything that you can add then we are more than happy to accept.
Come along and see what we can offer and more importantly what you can offer to our new 'Shed' in Winslow.
We have been given the use of temporary facilities in Station Road (Opposite Chapman Autos and next to the Car Wash) as a start up with some excellent potential and facilities.
We are open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
We will be pleased to see you, just come along and say hello!
What people say about us...
MISW Open Day and Shed Sale
Saturday October 19th 10:30 – 13:30
All are welcome, attendance is completely free and there will be a cuppa and cake opportunity too!
Bring friends and family and pop in for a chat see what we get up to. We know that making, restoring and fixing stuff isn't everyone's cup of tea but having a social life needs to be – and you might even get inspired to get a project under way yourself.
Between now and then, members will be busy sorting, cleaning and arranging quite a collection of tools, garden tools, accessories and furniture for sale. Our main aim is finding good homes for old but good quality items that would otherwise be wasted so prices will be very reasonable. We can even talk about any sharpening or restoration work that we can help with or help you to do yourself.

Real people, real homes: Occupied staging
Bevo: Charming city bungalow
This little bungalow in South City had tons of charm, It just needed some polish. The fantastic homeowner had already decluttered, painted walls a neutral color and deep cleaned. We brought in furnishings, artwork and accessories to complement pieces she already had. The resulting space felt lighter, brighter and ready for a new homeowner to move in. We're happy to report the house sold its third day on the market.
Maplewood: Storied former boarding house
This beguiling old home in Maplewood is rumored to have been a boarding house. It's brimming with character: Multiple fireplaces, including a woodburning one in the expansive foyer, original transoms over the bedroom doors (a vestige of its boarding-house past), and a sweeping staircase all the way up to the third floor. One of the challenges of this project was that the homeowner had large furniture pieces that couldn't be moved. So we worked around them! We changed layouts and added artwork & accessories to make the home feel more refined without losing it's historic charm.

Adding signs of life: Vacant staging
St. Louis City: Neglected to eclectic
This South City bungalow had been a rental, then vacant for a couple of years and it showed. Some questionable renovations followed by years of neglect had it looking a little sad and rough around the edges. Fresh paint in a neutral color, a few well-placed furniture pieces, and just enough accessories and artwork to give it warmth, and the little house took on a whole new vibe. Despite its location on an uber-busy thoroughfare, it sold in a few weeks.

"They just disappeared."
While The Lavender Scare reminds us that the political systems which reproduce our oppression can never be trusted upon for our freedom, it fails in its glorification of American patriotism. Josh Howard's documentary details the height of McCarthyism in the late 1940s to 50s, when gays and lesbians were purged from state offices for fear that they were "morally susceptible" to Communist influences.

This image will be familiar to many readers who hail from Sheffield as for many years the Bentley Brothers were the city's main dealers for Vauxhall and Bedford. This image dates from 1958 and, as you can see, the then-recently launched Victor F-Type is being heavily promoted, although the E-Series Crestas would have represented a considerable bargain for anyone who wanted six-seats and a definite '49 Chevrolet sense of a flair.
Meanwhile, the Ford Zephyr-Zodiac and the Austin A40 Somerset look quite out of place on a forecourt dedicated to Luton's finest; at the left of the shot the nose of the PA Cresta is just visible.
All of which brings us to this week's gems from the archives which celebrates the art of car sales and promotion. This Pathé news footage of an auction staged at Beaulieu in 1961 is priceless for a) the sights of Bentleys, and Hispano-Suizas in full colour and b) for the idea that almost any new vehicle from that year would be as collectable as the Veteran and Vintage cars on sale-
And of course, any extra service to the motorist will enhance your emporium. Remaining in 1961,we have the sight of Stirling Moss arriving by Jaguar E-Type (9600HP, the original production coupe, no less) to experience a "car laundry" in the West End of London.
The idea is simple - by treating your five-year old Standard Ten to the same treatment, not only would it look better, but you would become a F1 racing driver by osmosis -
In 1956 the great Ken Wharton established a garage in Smethwick where an Austin A30 could be treated to a high-speed pit-stop fashion service -
A decade later, a petrol station in Harlow was notable for its self-service pumps – 'but you still have to hand over the cash, even if it is to a pretty girl at the control desk' advises our patronising narrator. But this establishment was not just concerned with selling fuel to Humber Sceptre owners, it also offers facilities to service your Ford Consul Mk. II, Riley Kestrel 1100 or Wolseley 1500 -
This next form of garage promotion is one that will probably be unfamiliar to anyone aged under 40; the advert for the local business that was screened at the Eastleigh Regal and other fine picture houses. It was an art form that was well-known for its strangulated voice-overs, acting in a sub-Crossroads class, and slightly out-of-focus still photographs.
Many of these enterprises were 'only five minutes from this cinema!' and this reel of adverts from the Worthing area in the 1970s promotes Volkswagens – including 'the front-engine K70L' – and a 'quality used' Triumph 2000TC Mk. II -
And finally, we have the 1959 Used Car Show which was staged at the London Olympia and included a 1929 Bugatti for £775, a Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing and a 1924 Bentley:. I would include the announcer's comments about the last named but they are too awful to write; just think bad Carry On film and you will have the idea. A young couple ultimately opt for a "Lowline" Consul De Luxe; personally, I would have chosen the Bugatti
