From Wikipedia
Alvin O. Lombard of Waterville, Maine, invented in 1901 a tractor for hauling logs, as displayed at the Maine State Museum in the capital city of Augusta. Known as "Lombard Log Haulers," these vehicles revolutionized logging in Maine.
A tractor is an engineering vehicle specifically designed to deliver a high tractive effort (or torque) at slow speeds, for the purposes of hauling a trailer or machinery used in agriculture or construction. Most commonly, the term is used to describe a farm vehicle that provides the power and traction to mechanize agricultural tasks, especially (and originally) tillage, but nowadays a great variety of tasks. Agricultural implements may be towed behind or mounted on the tractor, and the tractor may also provide a source of power if the implement is mechanised.
The word tractor was taken from Latin, being the agent noun of trahere "to pull".[1][2] The first recorded use of the word meaning "an engine or vehicle for pulling wagons or ploughs" occurred in 1901, displacing the earlier term "traction engine" (1859).
Traction engines
John Fowler pioneered the application of steam power to agriculture in the 1850s, and invented machines for ploughing and digging drainage channels.
The first powered farm implements in the early 19th century were portable engines – steam engines on wheels that could be used to drive mechanical farm machinery by way of a flexible belt. Richard Trevithick designed the first 'semi-portable' stationary steam engine for agricultural use, known as a "barn engine" in 1812, and it was used to drive a corn threshing machine.[4] The truly portable engine was invented in 1839 by William Tuxford of Boston, Lincolnshire who started manufacture of an engine built around a locomotive-style boiler with horizontal smoke tubes. A large flywheel was mounted on the crankshaft, and a stout leather belt was used to transfer the drive to the equipment being driven. In the 1850s, John Fowler used a Clayton & Shuttleworth portable engine to drive apparatus in the first public demonstrations of the application of cable haulage to cultivation.
In parallel with the early portable engine development, many engineers attempted to make them self-propelled – the fore-runners of the traction engine. In most cases this was achieved by fitting a sprocket on the end of the crankshaft, and running a chain from this to a larger sprocket on the rear axle. These experiments met with mixed success.[5] The first proper traction engine, in the form recognisable today, was developed in 1859 when British engineer Thomas Aveling modified a Clayton & Shuttleworth portable engine, which had to be hauled from job to job by horses, into a self-propelled one. The alteration was made by fitting a long driving chain between the crankshaft and the rear axle.
The first half of the 1860s was a period of great experimentation but by the end of the decade the standard form of the traction engine had evolved and would change little over the next sixty years. It was widely adopted for agricultural use. The first tractors were steam-powered plowing engines. They were used in pairs, placed on either side of a field to haul a plow back and forth between them using a wire cable. In Britain Mann's and Garrett developed steam tractors for direct ploughing, but the heavy, wet soil of England meant that these designs were less economical than a team of horses. In the United States, where soil conditions permitted, steam tractors were used to direct-haul plows. Steam-powered agricultural engines remained in use well into the 20th century until reliable internal combustion engines had been developed.
Gasoline-powered tractor
In 1892, John Froelich invented and built the first gasoline/petrol-powered tractor in Clayton County, Iowa, USA.[8][9][10] A Van Duzen single-cylinder gasoline engine was mounted on a Robinson engine chassis, which could be controlled and propelled by Froelich's gear box.[11] After receiving a patent, Froelich started up the Waterloo Gasoline Engine Company and invested all of his assets. However, the venture was very unsuccessful, and by 1895 all was lost and he went out of business.
Richard Hornsby & Sons are credited with producing and selling the first oil-engined tractor in Britain invented by Herbert Akroyd Stuart. The Hornsby-Akroyd Patent Safety Oil Traction Engine was made in 1896 with a 20 hp engine. In 1897, it was bought by Mr. Locke-King, and this is the first recorded sale of a tractor in Britain. Also in that year, the tractor won a Silver Medal of the Royal Agricultural Society of England. That tractor would later be returned to the factory and fitted with a caterpillar track.
The first commercially successful light-weight petrol-powered general purpose tractor was built by Dan Albone, a British inventor in 1901.[16][17] He filed for a patent on 15 February 1902 for his tractor design and then formed Ivel Agricultural Motors Limited. The other directors were Selwyn Edge, Charles Jarrott, John Hewitt and Lord Willoughby. He called his machine the Ivel Agricultural Motor, the word 'tractor' did not come into common use until later. The Ivel Agricultural Motor was light, powerful and compact. It had one front wheel, with solid rubber tyre, and two large rear wheels like a modern tractor. The engine used water cooling, by evaporation. It had one forward and one reverse gear. A pulley wheel on the left hand side allowed it to be used as a stationary engine, driving a wide range of agricultural machinery. The 1903 sale price was £300. His tractor won a medal at the Royal Agricultural Show, in 1903 and 1904. About 500 were built, and many were exported all over the world.[18] The original engine was made by Payne & Co. of Coventry. After 1906, French Aster engines were used.
The first successful American tractor was built by Charles W. Hart and Charles H. Parr. They developed a two-cylinder gasoline engine and set up their business in Charles City, Iowa. In 1903, the firm built 15 "tractors", a term with Latin roots coined by Hart and Parr, and a combination of the words traction and power. Their 14,000-pound #3 is the oldest surviving internal combustion engine tractor in the United States, and is on display at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington D.C. The two-cylinder engine has a unique hit-and-miss firing cycle that produced 30 horsepower at the belt and 18 at the drawbar.
In 1908, the Saunderson Tractor and Implement Co. of Bedford introduced a four-wheel design, and went on to become the largest tractor manufacturer in Britain at the time. While the earlier, heavier tractors were initially very successful, it became increasingly apparent at this time that the weight of a large supporting frame was less-efficient than lighter designs. Henry Ford introduced a light-weight, mass-produced design which largely displaced the heavier designs. Some companies halfheartedly followed suit with mediocre designs, as if to disprove the concept, but they were largely unsuccessful in that endeavor.
While unpopular at first, these gasoline-powered machines began to catch on in the 1910s, when they became smaller and more affordable. Henry Ford introduced the Fordson, a wildly popular mass-produced tractor, in 1917. They were built in the U.S., Ireland, England and Russia, and by 1923, Fordson had 77% of the U.S. market. The Fordson dispensed with a frame, using the strength of the engine block to hold the machine together. By the 1920s, tractors with gasoline-powered internal combustion engines had become the norm.
Harry Ferguson applied for a British patent for his three-point hitch in 1926, a three-point attachment of the implement to the tractor and the simplest and the only statically determinate way of joining two bodies in engineering. The Ferguson-Brown Company produced the Model A Ferguson-Brown tractor with a Ferguson-designed hydraulic hitch. In 1938 Ferguson entered into a collaboration with Henry Ford to produce the Ford-Ferguson 9N tractor. The three-point hitch soon became the favorite hitch attachment system among farmers around the world. This tractor model also included a rear Power Take Off (PTO) shaft that could be used to power three point hitch mounted implements such as sickle-bar mowers. This PTO location set the standard for future tractor developments. Farm tractor design, power and transmission
Tractor configurations
Tractors can be generally classified by number of axles or wheels, with main categories of two-wheel tractors (single-axle tractors) and four-wheel tractors (two-axle tractors); more axles are possible but uncommon. Among four-wheel tractors (two-axle tractors), most are two-wheel drive (usually at the rear); but many are two-wheel drive with front wheel assist, four-wheel drive (often with articulated steering), or track tractors (with steel or rubber tracks).
The classic farm tractor is a simple open vehicle, with two very large driving wheels on an axle below and slightly behind a single seat (the seat and steering wheel consequently are in the center), and the engine in front of the driver, with two steerable wheels below the engine compartment. This basic design has remained unchanged for a number of years, but enclosed cabs are fitted on almost all modern models, for reasons of operator safety and comfort. In some localities with heavy or wet soils, notably in the Central Valley of California, the "Caterpillar" or "crawler" type of tracked tractor became popular in the 1930s, due to superior traction and flotation. These were usually maneuvered through the use of turning brake pedals and separate track clutches operated by levers rather than a steering wheel.
Four-wheel drive tractors began to appear in the 1960s. Some four-wheel drive tractors have the standard "two large, two small" configuration typical of smaller tractors, while some have four large, powered wheels. The larger tractors are typically an articulated, center-hinged design steered by hydraulic cylinders that move the forward power unit while the trailing unit is not steered separately.
In the early 21st century, articulated or nonarticulated, steerable multitrack tractors have largely supplanted the Caterpillar type for farm use. Larger types of modern farm tractors include articulated four-wheel or eight-wheel drive units with one or two power units which are hinged in the middle and steered by hydraulic clutches or pumps. A relatively recent development is the replacement of wheels or steel crawler-type tracks with flexible, steel-reinforced rubber tracks, usually powered by hydrostatic or completely hydraulic driving mechanisms. The configuration of these tractors bears little resemblance to the classic farm tractor design.
Gasoline and kerosene
Since the turn of the 20th century, internal combustion engines have been the power source of choice. Between 1900 and 1960, gasoline was the predominant fuel, with kerosene (the Rumely Oil Pull was the most notable of this kind) and ethanol being common alternatives. Generally, one engine could burn any of those, although cold starting was easiest on gasoline. Often, a small auxiliary fuel tank was available to hold gasoline for cold starting and warm-up, while the main fuel tank held whatever fuel was most convenient or least expensive for the particular farmer. In the United Kingdom, a gasoline-kerosene engine is known as a petrol-paraffin engine.
Dieselisation gained momentum starting in the 1960s, and modern farm tractors usually employ diesel engines, which range in power output from 18 to 575 horsepower (15 to 480 kW). Size and output are dependent on application, with smaller tractors used for lawn mowing, landscaping, orchard work, and truck farming, and larger tractors for vast fields of wheat, maize, soy, and other bulk crops.
Liquified petroleum gas
Liquified petroleum gas (LPG) or propane also have been used as tractor fuels, but require special pressurized fuel tanks and filling equipment, so are less prevalent in most markets.
In some countries such as Germany, biodiesel is often used. Some other biofuels such as straight vegetable oil are also being used by some farmers.
Most older farm tractors use a manual transmission with several gear ratios, typically three to six, sometimes multiplied into two or three ranges. This arrangement provides a set of discrete ratios that, combined with the varying of the throttle, allow final-drive speeds from less than one up to about 25 miles per hour (40 km/h), with the lower speeds used for working the land and the highest speed used on the road.
Slow, controllable speeds are necessary for most of the operations performed with a tractor. They help give the farmer a larger degree of control in certain situations, such as field work. However, when travelling on public roads, the slow operating speeds can cause problems, such as long queues or tailbacks, which can delay or annoy motorists in cars and trucks. These motorists are responsible for being duly careful around farm tractors and sharing the road with them, but many shirk this responsibility, so various ways to minimize the interaction or minimize the speed differential are employed where feasible. Some countries (for example the Netherlands) employ a road sign on some roads that means "no farm tractors". Some modern tractors, such as the JCB Fastrac, are now capable of much higher road speeds of around 50 mph (80 km/h).
An older model European farm tractor, of the type still common in Eastern Europe Older tractors usually have unsynchronized transmission designs, which often require the operator stop the tractor to shift between gears. This mode of use is inherently unsuited to some of the work tractors do, and has been circumvented in various ways over the years. For existing unsynchronized tractors, the methods of circumvention are double clutching or power-shifting, both of which require the operator to rely on skill to speed-match the gears while shifting, and are undesirable from a risk-mitigation standpoint because of what can go wrong if the operator makes a mistake – transmission damage is possible, and loss of vehicle control can occur if the tractor is towing a heavy load either uphill or downhill – something that tractors often do. Therefore, operator's manuals for most of these tractors state one must always stop the tractor before shifting, and they do not even mention the alternatives. As already said, that mode of use is inherently unsuited to some of the work tractors do, so better options were pursued for newer tractor designs.
In these, unsynchronized transmission designs were replaced with synchronization or with continuously variable transmissions (CVTs). Either a synchronized manual transmission with enough available gear ratios (often achieved with dual ranges, high and low) or a CVT allow the engine speed to be matched to the desired final-drive speed, while keeping engine speed within the appropriate speed (as measured in rotations per minute or rpm) range for power generation (the working range) (whereas throttling back to achieve the desired final-drive speed is a trade-off that leaves the working range). The problems, solutions, and developments described here also describe the history of transmission evolution in semi-trailer trucks. The biggest difference is fleet turnover; whereas most of the old road tractors have long since been scrapped, many of the old farm tractors are still in use. Therefore, old transmission design and operation is primarily just of historical interest in trucking, whereas in farming it still often affects daily life.

-The Jokerr
Hypothetically speaking ofcourse, but would you? I wonder. Most people I know are passionate about money. But what I figure, what they are really passionate about is a certain life style, status, material things they can acquire with money. There's this hilarious saying that : Though money can't buy You happiness, it is always better to cry sitting in a Ferrari than in a regular car. Right?
So what if the there was no denomination as money?
Although there can be a very convincing economically viable answer to it. But am gonna take a fair strategic retreat from the financial point of view, cause I am on a philosophical high today.
If there were no money to bind our elegant rears to our corporate seats it would be far more easier to chase our dreams. Have You heard about Quoran over achievers? With around a 1000 followers. Well, they obviously don't do it for the money. They do it to be heard. I have come across these people there who can spend around 14-15 hrs on the web. Surfing.. Voicing their opinion.
Therefore, I assume there are factors that drive people to do things just for the sake of 'it'. It being anything, ranging from
ᵓ Fame
ᵓ Recognition
ᵓ Companionship
ᵓ Adventure.
ᵓ Adrenaline
.. although I can keep on adding, I am gonna stop here.
Alright, the real deal here was Would You still chase Your dream? Dream! Though having a ton of followers valuing Your opinions on certain subject matter is a thrill, come on! It is no one's dream growing up! Is it?
Who wouldn't! They fly! They fly in the infinite sky. If I didn't have this notorious reflex of throwing up at the mere mention of a somersault in mid air with the risk of Your life hanging halfway in the stratosphere, I'd be becoming one!
Dream 61: Painter
My cousin, she is a painter. And she is handicapped. But she paints. Cause that is her dream. Now that her condition worsens everyday (her disease is gnawing at her bones) she still paints. Maybe not as good enough as she used to, but she does. Initially no one recognised her. She was a nameless, random artist. Nothing hindered her spirit though. Today she has met/ been invited for dinner by a number of public figures ranging from Namo to Mrs Sarla Birla
Dream 29 : Speaker (Motivational)
I am assuming this was a dream to most of our nukkad ke chachas (Nukkad: turn in Hindi. Chacha here is not a dance form. Chacha is an Uncle). And they achieve it in parts each time they lecture the kids wasting their lives on adda.
These are all an excerpt from the list of my dreams. I don't wish to bore my audience with my wish list. All the stupid things I want to be. However, I want to show, how a dream is about yourself.
A dream is the expression of Your-self, a projection of who you are. I write when I am in panic, usually, it is like there's this boil of emotions in me which needs to be committed somewhere. More often than not my own words heal me. I don't write in cold sweat to av a return on investment. I write because like breathing, sometimes I simply have to. Cause otherwise I'd choke. Choke to a literary death.
When Ferrucio Lamborghini got the prototype designed for 350 GTV, it wasn't for money. He designed to take it out against Enzo Ferrari (ego you see). Not knowing then that the same would become a leader of the market of high performance cars. And neither did Pranav Mistry designed this sixth sense technology out for money. (http://www.ted.com/talks/pranav_mistry_the_thrilling_potential_of_sixthsense_technology)
This question ain't that hypothetical. We have examples dotted all across the world proving against.
I have a dream to fly. And that has nothing to do with money. Most good things ain't, I believe.

Deidre sighed in satisfaction as she gazed at the hair that was draped across her bare midriff. It seemed to undulate with every breath she took, and she could picture her friends struggling to control their envy when she arrived at Tolani's 30th birthday party looking like the diva she was born to be. The sight of the hair had literally taken her breath away, and she had been more than happy to reward Deinde just the way he enjoyed. The odd thing though was that he had seemed more preoccupied with his injured hand with every passing moment, and had decided to return home to his wife instead of staying over for the night as they had originally planned.
Deidre had booked an appointment at Ayo's Hair Palace in Surulere, and had insisted that he be in attendance to install her precious wefts of hair in person. She knew the street value of her extensions exceeded N250k, and saw this as proof that Deinde was finally ready to leave his drab wife Shade, for her. The morning could not come soon enough for her, and she carefully put the hair away before falling asleep. A few hours later, she sat bolt upright in terror as she awoke from a troubling dream. She had found herself being chased by a bald headed woman who had kept shrieking at her in a language she did not understand. She had run till she was exhausted, but the woman behind her had not managed to catch her, the strange thing was that she had maintained the exact same distance from her at the end, as she had in the beginning. Deidre's heart pounded in her chest like a caged bird, and she scrambled off her bed to look for the King James Bible she knew she had somewhere. She found it in the bag she had carried to church two months ago when her former room-mate had guilted her into attending service with her, and she thumbed through it feverishly till she found Psalm 23. She began to mutter the words aloud, but fell back asleep before she had reached the end.
Deinde staggered from his car and was knocking at his door almost before the car had come to a halt. A visibly shocked Shade opened the door, and he brushed past her to collapse into the sofa in the living room.
'Welcome' she said, 'I thought you weren't arriving till tomorrow morning? What happened? You don't look very well. 'And what have you done to your hand?
Deinde stared at his hand, it was now as swollen as if someone had stuck a pump into his wrist and inflated it. His fingers were now so engorged, they looked like sausages. 'I had a little accident' he muttered. Shade, a trained nurse by profession needed no bidding before bustling away to get the first aid kit. She unwrapped the bandage and they gasped in unison as they saw what lay beneath. There was an inflamed cut that seemed to have black specks of dirt in it. She reached for a cotton swab and some saline, and began dabbing at the cut gently in an attempt to clean it out. To her surprise, the specks did not come out, and when she peered closely at them, they appeared to be sprouting from the cut itself. 'Deinde, you won't believe this, but it looks like there's hair growing in the wound' she said. 'This is very odd, how did this happen again?' She leaned forward to peer at his hand again, and suddenly shivered as an ice-cold chill came over her. She got up and went to the mantelpiece where a bottle of olive oil had pride of place. 'I'll put a drop of this on before I put on a fresh dressing, but you really must see a doctor tomorrow morning as something is not quite right. I'll also give you some Panadol for the pain' she continued. She removed the lid, and hurried towards where Deinde sat in silence. He had not spoken another word since his first sentence and was staring at his hand in fascinated horror. Just as Shade got to him, a loud clap of thunder rent the air, as the electricity went off, and they were plunged into darkness. Shade lost her footing in the dark and fell over a footstool, dropping the bottle in the process. The oil spilled into the thick thirsty carpet as thunder rumbled overhead again, and flashes of lightning lit up the dark skies outside.

Lockable acrylic lockable perspex display cases. Available in 4 popular display case sizes.
The acrylic display case is a fantastic and convenient way to showcase merchandise either on your shop counter or shop floor. Perfect for goods that you don't want handled or disturbed by customers, these mobile and lightweight units keep items safely displayed under lock and key and are available in an array of different styles to suit a variety of retail purposes.
Acrylic cases are transparent display units that are mostly designed to be placed on shop counters to give prominence to products such as cakes, gifts and memorabilia. The units are usually kept locked, making them ideal for items that are valuable, rare or that can be easily spoiled. They are a popular alternative to glass units for retailers who feel that glass may be a bit heavy or who are worried about the risks of glass breakages. Placing goods in an acrylic countertop display case is a great and secure way of encouraging extra point-of-sale purchases to customers while they are waiting at the counter.
All kinds of retailers can make good use of the acrylic display case in Australia. The cabinets can be used to attractively present a wide range of products, from ornamental goods to diecast model cars such as hot wheels and figurines. They are particularly well-suited to stores selling smaller goods that are either expensive or fragile. Examples of stores that can make good use of acrylic units include:
They're durable – acrylic is a tough material, similar to glass. The cases have a good weight-bearing capacity.
They're easy to use – in addition to giving retailers peace of mind with the secure locking function, cabinets can be easily wiped down and are very lightweight so can be moved around the store with ease. The lightness of the units also means they are easy to ship when purchasing. Delivering an acrylic display case to Brisbane or Adelaide is much cheaper than shipping a glass cabinet.
They're attractive – cabinets look great on shop counters while at the same time remaining discreet and fitting in nicely with the surroundings. They offer great potential for stylish presentation to any creative retail workers.
Dust free – most units include hinged doors with minimum gaps when closed to reduce the build-up of dust on the displays.

With so many new restaurants, bars and pop-ups to explore – and not forgetting shamelessly high rent prices – it's no secret that living in London is expensive. But, there are also a number of simple ways to ensure you can save money while living in London – and without missing out on all the fun stuff!
Here are some tips to ensure your bellies stay full of cocktails and street food but your bank account doesn't become starved.
Firstly, get yourself a contactless bank card. Unlike Oyster, contactless caps your weekly spending, so despite using pay-as-you-go, you still have the security of knowing that you'll never spend more than the cost of a weekly travelcard and you could be surprised by how much you save when you stop mindlessly forking out for one each week – I discovered that I tend to only spend around £20/£25 compared to a £32.10 travelcard.
Secondly, walk or run to/from work. I found that using the pay-as-you-go method encouraged me to keep my journeys down and I actually enjoyed a walk into work or run home more than the crowded tube. If, however, you live too far from your workplace, you could just do part of the journey by foot and still save money. Say you live in zone 2 and work in zone 1, for example, you could walk to the zone 2 station nearest to work and then hop on the tube from there. That way you're only paying the zone 2 fare as opposed to zone 1 and 2.
Thirdly, don't be afraid to ask for a refund. TFL offer service delay refunds if your tube journey is delayed by more than 15 minutes or your overground journey by more than 30 minutes. Simply log in to your online account, select service delay refunds, fill in the journey details and hey presto they'll refund the journey cost back onto your Oyster or straight into your bank account, depending on which payment method you used.
And finally, take buses! I avoided buses like the plague when I first moved to London as I was scared I'd get on the wrong one or wouldn't know where to get off. But, once I discovered CityMapper and realised that all buses handily announce each station along the way, I soon overcame my fear and took advantage of the £1.50 single fare fee.
Skip the gym! London gyms are expensive and, linking to the point above, if you walk or run to or from work you're instantly incorporating some cardio into your day-to-day routine and therefore saving on both time travelling to and from the gym, and money on the membership fees. Furthermore, with countless online fitness programmes and exercise regimes available – Project Me from Get the Gloss being one of my favourite – you can create a complete exercise regime that suits you and your everyday life, without the mammoth fees.
Food is a big chunk out of your wages – and an important one at that – but getting organised and cooking more can really help you cut costs and also eat better. I find that doing one big shop online once a fortnight (the big supermarkets tend to be cheaper than the smaller convenience stores dotted throughout London) and then buying a few fresh bits and bobs in between helps me to plan my meals and keep costs down. Also, keep an eye out for deals and multi savings when you do your online shop, quickly Google a recipe using those ingredients and voila, you've got yourself a budget dinner.
Planning is also key. You can easily make a one-pot dish such as a curry, chilli or stew for dinner one night and then take it to work for lunch the next day – the Thermos food flasks are a lifesaver if your workplace doesn't have a microwave – and then you've saved the £7 you'll spend in Pret on a measly salad or quinoa pot. Freezing is also your friend, particularly if you're cooking for one. Whether it be the rest of your one-pot wonder, a second naan bread in a pack of two, some frozen berries for your morning smoothies or even half a batch of homemade cupcakes – that is if you can resist eating them all there and then – nothing need ever go to waste.
Going out:
Finding your local independent offerings can be key to saving some cash when going out in London as they are often a fraction of the price of their big chain equivalents. Take the Genesis cinema in Whitechapel as an example, they sell tickets for as little as £4 on Mondays and Wednesdays, £7.50 on Tuesdays and Thursdays and £9 at the weekends – a bargain compared to the £13 London cinemas typically charge.
If you're a theatre fan don't shy away from the cheaper preview tickets and also find out if there are any good small theatres in your neighbourhood, which can often stage real gems for a tiny price – the Tabard Theatre in Turnham Green is a great example, with tickets starting from as little as £10. When it comes to booking tickets to events, meanwhile, don't hang around as many events in London stagger the prices, with early bird, advance and standard tickets up for grabs.
With restaurants, be sure to keep an eye on new openings as they often offer a soft opening with generous discounts – Just Opened London and LondonTown all do great newsletters on the latest openings throughout town.

I write a blog so I don't go crazy.
Blogging is my therapy.
I know people (friends and family) that think blogging is invasive and self indulgent. So be it.
I have friends and family members who value their privacy so much that they would never so much as write about what they did yesterday, let alone share their innermost thoughts. That's the way they think about blogging. That's fine for them. I don't pass judgement on them because they don't blog. I respect their views.
However, I am different. I have always put my thoughts, aspirations, and record of what I do down on paper. When I was a teenager I had pen pals. At one time I had 67 pen pals. I remember my great aunt Grace asking my Mother "Why does Ronnie write to these strangers? Doesn't he have any friends?"
When my Mother relayed her aunt's comment to me (my Mother didn't approve of me having pen pals either), I was hurt and humiliated. My great aunt had actually hit upon a sore spot, I didn't have many friends at 15 years old. I was a too tall, skinny kid with low self-esteem (constantly verbally beaten down by my father) and queer to boot. I was alone in the world and needed an outlet. My pen pals provided that outlet. They were my friends. They were nonjudgmental.
I dropped most of my pen pals when I went into the Army. I made new friends.
Later in life, even with many friends, I still felt a need to put my thoughts down in writing. I began keeping a daily journal during the 70's. I kept that journal for ten years until someone I was helping gained access to those journals and attempted to use them against me. I quit keeping a journal until three years ago.
At that time in my life I was going through great turmoil. I couldn't sell my house in Pennsylvania and I was building a new house in Delaware. Fortunately I got through that crises in my life but to keep from going crazy, I began keeping a journal again. I also discovered blogging.
Blogging was perfect for me. I could write and also share my many pictures. I have found that I could also learn a lot from other bloggers. Plus, I could make new friends.
Ironically, as I was writing this blog I heard a knock on my door. It was from the UPS man. He left a box at my door from "Wine Country Gift Baskets." I was puzzled at first because I was expecting a package of fiber blend from the AIM Companies. This didn't look like that box. I opened the box to find a "Toscano Tower" of goodies. I opened the card in the box. The card said:
"We're thinking about you. Hang in there. Out cat Tammy says hello. Michael and Glenn."
I am touched. This was a gift from my friends Mike Wilson and Glenn Miller from West Hollywood, California. They discovered my goofy, self-absorbed blog some months ago and we have become good friends. They are expressing concern over the fact that I had just posted that my Mother was dying. I probably should not have made that posting because I wasn't trying to elicit sympathy but only to take the stress off of my mind. But I posted it anyway because this is my life and I made a vow to myself that my blog would always be honest and as open as possible while still respecting the privacy of my friends and family.
Mike and Glenn, thank you for being such good friends. If we weren't on opposite ends of the coast I would give you both a big hug right now. Love you guys!
Now do you see why I blog?

Things You'll Need
- Stretched canvas, plywood or matboard
- Flannel or felt
- Adhesives
- Scissors
- Cardstock
- Stencils, cookie cutters or coloring books
- Pens
- Embellishments
- Clipart
- Easel
How to Make a Flannelgraph. Flannelgraphs, also known as "felt boards," are an effective and engaging way to tell stories and teach basic concepts. Use these steps to create your own board, along with several useful interactive shapes.
Buy a stretched painter's canvas, piece of plywood or thick matboard to serve as the base of the flannelgraph. Choose a size large enough to accommodate several shapes-18 by 24 inches are often-used dimensions.
Cover the board with flannel (fuzzy side up) or felt. Use spray adhesive to attach the fabric to the surface, then pull the edges taut and secure them in back with additional adhesive, staples or hot glue. Black, white, beige and blue are popular colors since they allow most flannel figures to stand out.
Decide on a theme to create your first set of flannel shapes. Some teachers and parents use flannelgraphs to tell nursery rhymes or discuss facts about farms, aquariums, modes of transportation or daily household chores. The boards are also helpful for teaching counting, math, spelling and phonics lessons.
Use sharp scissors to cut shapes out of flannel (or felt if you've backed the board with felt), fuzzy side down so they'll stick to the board. You can also make shapes from cardstock and mount them onto felt with spray adhesive before trimming. Use stencils, cookie cutters or images traced from coloring books to design your shapes.
Add detail to plain shapes with layering. Simply cut several of the same shape in different colors of flannel, then cut them apart and reassemble in layers like a paper doll. Try doodling with fabric paint pens or adding embellishments like sequins, tiny buttons or paper flowers with glue or stitching.
Create more detailed figures by printing clipart from the Internet onto cardstock. You can then adhere the images to flannel and trim them. (See Resources)
Place the completed flannelgraph on a painter's easel so the entire class can watch and participate in the story or lesson. Sitting the board at a slight angle will also help the figures adhere to the backdrop.
Order pre-printed flannel shapes on the Internet if you're short on time. (See Resources)

As regular visitors to this blog will have noticed, I'm not the kind of girl who shares her deepest, darkest thoughts on this blog a lot (and to be honest, I want to post more frequently but I haven't really settled on what to write about just yet) but at the moment I need to let off a little steam about my current situation because, basically, I've messed up. My Beloved and I spent the start of August away and, since I wasn't comfortable with the idea of abusing myself during that time for various reasons, I spent the week chaste only to realise just before we left that we wouldn't be back until after my regular two weeks of chastity for Mistress Claire was due to start! So there's been an completely self-inflicted extra week on my sentence this time which has amused Mistress and my Beloved no end, especially since desperation usually sets in before the end of the second week.
The problem is that I can't think about anything apart from… well, the deviant version of sex I usually indulge in. This last weekend was particularly hard – if you'll excuse the "pun" – to the point where I began wearing my CB6000S for some of the time in order to stop my hands from wandering so that I could get some bloody work done! And I'll be totally honest girls, if I could actually wear the accursed thing for longer periods it would probably have been locked in place for over a week and a half by this point. (The picture below was isn't recent, it was taken when someone I was chatting to on Facebook wanted to see me in chastity.)
There were a couple of particularly frustrating moments where a private message to Mistress begging to make a pathetic, sticky puddle was nearly written but I managed to stay at least quite strong. But whilst the chastity device stopped my hands wandering it didn't have much effect on my mind which has been conjuring up all sorts of torments and tortures for me to suffer, a few of which came as a surprise to me but, since I have a confession to make when kneeling before Mistress Claire as regards those naughty thoughts, I won't go into detail just for the moment.
But with the aforementioned work out of the way last night I have nothing important to do between today and Thursday morning when I see Mistress, so right now it's all about distracting myself; I've never previously had a BirchPlace profile so that seemed like something to do and then I spent some time tinkering with this website to add links to a couple of blogs written by Cinnamon and Alice which I've found very interesting. Now I need a few other tasks to keep myself occupied… my outfit for Thursday is ready – there's a "back to school" theme at Quest and my Beloved found me a school uniform costume online which I'll be wearing for that – dressing up as a schoolie isn't making a statement to a Mistress who enjoys canes, is it?

Maxima co-founder Vanessa has been described as a very tenacious and client focussed professional by Susan Dunn of Harbour Litigation and Mark Wells of Calunius to name a few, of her peers in the Third Party Funding Market place.
Since the successful launch of Maxima in 2007 as the first independent broker to enter into Third Party Funding, Vanessa has worked on high profile cases, through to complex commercial litigation and arbitration claims. She has considerable experience in understanding her clients requirements and has excellent contacts throughout her industry and is often able to pull together a litigation team on her reputation alone, in order to assist her clients getting their cases presented in the right manner to attract funding.

She has placed in excess of 200 cases for commercial ATE insurance with indemnity cover ranging from as little as £100k to 10M plus, per case. Vanessa has developed good relations with the insurance providers.
Among her many achievements, she has developed a specialised niche in the music industry in relation to intellectual property rights, royalty disputes which has resulted in Maxima becoming the partner of choice for an increasing number of high profile bands, solo artists and their managers.

Treasure Island: potential future of urban life
As the immense Treasure Island project nears its final set of approvals, there's deserved scrutiny of issues like safety, transportation and the benefits the public should receive in return for allowing $1.5 billion of construction in the middle of San Francisco Bay.
The danger is that politics will obscure the larger issue if the project is approved: What gets built can't be business as usual or we'd be better off doing nothing at all. The design approach offers a tantalizing view of what urban life today could be, and that's exciting. But it's a blueprint, not a guarantee of success.
The basics unveiled in November 2005 and tweaked repeatedly since are known to anyone who follows planning issues.
The longtime naval base would be remade as a high-rise neighborhood wrapped in open space, including a 300-foot-wide promenade-like park along the shore that would be contoured to double as a buffer against potential sea level rise. Up to 8,000 housing units in buildings ranging from townhouses to towers would line blocks to the north and east of a new ferry terminal and commercial district. The northeast quadrant of the island, by contrast, would be mostly open space.
Aspects of the plan have the over-familiar feel of other communities on the drawing boards in urban California, with a grid layout and a pedestrian-oriented Main Street. The division between the parkland and residential districts looks abrupt on a map. A 37-acre federal job-training center would remain as the hole in the artisan doughnut.
Army of consultants
Work your way through the 340 pages of design guidelines prepared by a small army of consultants, though, and you see how they set the potential for something besides generic infill with a skyline view.
The most compelling element is the plan's weave of housing and open space so that, in theory, the two are inseparable on the ground.
The 6-block-long grid lining the park across from downtown San Francisco is a perfect example. They aren't perpendicular worlds apart; instead, they're stitched at each block by double rows of noninvasive eucalyptus trees meant to help muffle at least some of the winds that gust through the Golden Gate.
No simple grid
Think of dark green strokes that start in the park and then accent the east-west streets.
Nor are the blocks a simple grid of right-angled boxes. They're laid out to deflect the wind and let in afternoon sun.
The meshed development and landscape continues inland, where neighborhood life would center on a 40-foot-wide "shared street" with no segregation of roadway and sidewalks, only a linear collage of pavings and plantings with a pocket park at each corner. Automobiles could enter a specific block to pull up in front of a house or turn down an alley, but the path for cars never follows a straight line.
If this sounds like an invitation to carnage, it's also a variation of streets found in many European cities. Each block would be lined with low townhouses, punctuated by the vertical flourish of a tower in the 20-story range that would add people to the street but be placed so as not to shade the block's park.
The idea: a space where pedestrians feel at ease and drivers don't. It's designed to be a hassle.
For potential residents who might be spooked by shared streets, the island's eastern blocks are arranged along a more conventional band of green. Blocks would flank a 110-foot-wide car-free commons that's an asphalt-free version of Boston's Commonwealth Avenue.
'A human scale'
"We're trying for a human scale and intimacy where you always feel attached to the setting," said Kevin Conger of CMG Landscape Architecture, one of the firms on a design team that includes Perkins + Will, Skidmore Owings & Merrill and BCV Architects. "I can't think of other neighborhoods in the Bay Area that these would feel like."
That's got to be true if this project is to succeed, both urbanistically and financially.
The only way a "new" Treasure Island will flourish is for it to feel like a true place apart, distinctive and desirable, in the middle of the region's action but with a pedestrian-friendly scale. If it's just another master-planned district, a la San Francisco's young Mission Bay or the mixed-use zones being built near transit stations, it won't attract residents who can choose other locales that are more convenient.
Developers say they understand this and that the business side of the plan has controls on parcel sizes and design elements to ensure that the outcome won't be a stubby blur of mundane boxes. But it's too easy to imagine a scenario where good intentions get watered down to make budgets pencil out.
This already has occurred with regards to environmental sustainability. What was touted in 2005 as America's most aggressively green project now is a collection of best practices. This isn't bad- a strong conservation ethos remains - but the current version of the plan isn't wildly different from what progressive cities like San Francisco have begun to require as a matter of course.
If Treasure Island is to be redeveloped, rather than allowed to erode into the bay, the plan on the table is a genuinely innovative first step. The challenge will be to make reality exceed the potential.

Not running the marathon this weekend? Well neither are we – but what we will be doing is taking part in Nike's innovative new initiative 'The GRID', tomorrow, 23rd April. It's a 24-hour challenge taking place in 40 different postcodes over four different areas ('grids') in London. Choose which postcode is most familiar to you and score points as you run from phone box to phone box, following clues for your next checkpoint as you go. Each player receives a code when they sign online so that your progress can be tracked at each checkpoint - points are awarded for speed, endurance and stamina. The person who does it the fastest in each postcode wins (prizes tbc). Think of it like a treasure hunt. On a Monopoly board. That gives you a great workout. We'll be claiming in the streets of the W1 area and hope to see you there (or not, as hopefully we will be running like the wind!).

Recently, during the children's message time in our Sunday worship, the topic was "God sightings." The speaker shared some answers from our kindergartens when they were asked the question, "Where did you see God at work last week?" One unexpected response, which garnered some chuckles, was, "McDonalds!" I couldn't resist commenting later during the service that I was going to stop by the local franchise on my way home to see if I could spot God while enjoying a burger.
A few days later, I happened to stop in McDonalds for a late lunch between appointments. I didn't see God at work but—to be honest—I wasn't particularly looking. However, after clearing off my table and walking to the trash bin, I passed by a little girl standing right next to the glass door leading outside. She couldn't have been more than three and she seemed on the verge of tears. Getting rid of my tray, I stopped and asked if everything was all right. Tears brimming in her eyes and her fingers intertwined over her mouth with arms scrunched in over her chest, she murmured frightened words too muffled for me to hear. So I knelt down and asked her again. This time I heard her,
"I can't find my Nana."
"How about the play area? Maybe she's looking for you there. Let's go check." Sure enough, as soon as we rounded the corner into the play area, there was her Nana with a look of relief on her face. My little friend ran and latched on to Nana's legs, hanging on for dear life, and burying her tears in her grandmother's slacks. All would be well once again.
Now, of course, that's not all the Church is called to do and be, but in these days marked by so much cultural confusion and despair, it may be one of our most important callings as we follow Christ. Evangelism has not been a strong suit of American Presbyterians in the last half century—we've depended on attractional models, on programs, and on professionals. We've worried about offending others, about appearing foolish in our beliefs, or unacceptable in our lifestyle pursuits when judged by those in cultural ascendancy. But no matter what masks of self-satisfaction or complacency our society may sport, human beings are, "…strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world." Every so often the masks come down and frightened anguish brims over. Are we there among those in need, ready to come alongside those who admit they are lost? Are we ready to walk with them on the journey, encouraging them through the doors of the Kingdom into the embrace of God?
This is not the work of paid professionals, nor is it the fruit of prepackaged programs. It is the calling of every disciple of Jesus, wherever He places us, at any moment. May He give us eyes to see, ears to hear, and hearts to care. May the lives of those in our churches be filled with God sightings.
To the eternal glory of our Savior.

You need to be very careful with the plan. If you want to set the dining table in the center of the area, you have to take into account the round shape layout. The little round table is flexible. It leaves one an additional space for one seats. But, if you would like to set the table in the corner or by the face of the wall, then a small square shaped table could be perfect. Although it leaves you just three or four seating space, the table will fit the location flawlessly without leaving wasteful space in between the curved shape and the firm wall form.

Super typhoon Maria wreaked havoc along China's southeast coast, after making landfall in Fujian Province on Wednesday morning.
The super typhoon, which is the eighth this year, made landfall at 9:10 am in Lianjiang County, near Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian Province, with winds up to 150 kilometres per hour at the storm's eye, according to state-backed news agency Xinhua.
According to preliminary reports by local authorities in Fujian Province, the typhoon has affected 110,200 citizens, led to the collapse of 41 houses and damaged over 4,000 hectares of crops. It is estimated that the typhoon had caused a direct economic loss of approximately 547m yuan (US$81.7m) in Fujian.
Flooding, rain and destructive winds also hit the coastal cities of Wenzhou, Fuzhou and Ningde, with a total of 580,000 people being evacuated. All schools, including kindergartens, in these cities were closed on Wednesday due to the storm.
Additionally, ongoing projects involving highways and ports were suspended. Nanchang railway in Jiangxi Province reported over 200 train cancellations.
As Typhoon Maria continues to move inland it has steadily weakened and has now become a tropical storm. However, it is not expected to fully dissipate until the weekend. Much of northern Fujian and parts of Jiangxi provinces are likely to be hit by widespread flooding and mudslides.

Tokyo in april | weather & travel tips
Spring is one of the most popular times to visit Tokyo, but what is the weather like for Tokyo in April? What should you expect in the spring?
April is one of the most popular times to visit Tokyo because it's cherry blossom season. Spring in Tokyo and Japan are great times to visit but Japan's climate seems to experience all four seasons.
Unlike here in Boston, Tokyo experiences all four seasons almost equally, so if you plan on visiting Japan in the summer, just beware that its climate feels a lot like Vietnam's in the middle of the summer because of the dreadful humidity or mushi atsui as they call it in Japanese.
But as for April? Tokyo's weather in April is nice but it can still feel a bit cool. It reminds me of Southern California where you can dress lightly during the day, but you usually want to bring a light sweater or jacket for nights which can get down in the 50s.
April is a great time to visit Tokyo because of all the cherry blossom festivals as well as spring blooms in my favorite gardens. Japan has some of the most wonderful gardens in the world and you definitely don't want to miss visiting the best that Tokyo has to offer.
My travel guide Hidden Tokyo goes into detail about both Cherry Blossom season in Tokyo, but also my favorite gardens to visit and so much more. If you're taking a trip to Tokyo, this guide will be the absolute best investment you can make for experiencing the full depth of Tokyo.
popular gardens to visit in tokyo
Shinjuku Gyoen is one of the most famous and largest gardens in Japan. Located in the heart of Shinjuku, this park is really large and you can easily spend a few hours exploring the park. I love viewing the blossoms here. It's also a really popular hanami spot.
Ueno Park is also another really popular option because Ueno offers the famous canopy of cherry blossom trees. During Sakura season, Ueno Park gets really busy though and if you hate crowds, I'd avoid this place. With that said, I hate crowds, but I don't seem to mind crowds in Japan. There's a lot more order and people are generally more respectful. Ueno is also a really popular hanami spot where you find a lot of food vendors.
Koishikawa Korwkuen Garden is another favorite of mine which has both really beautiful spring and fall colors.
Yanaka Cemetery is another place I love to view the blossoms. Japanese cemeteries are usually well maintained and built around nature. This is one of Tokyo's most famous cemeteries which is also famous for all its cats.
april day trips from tokyo
Hakone is always a favorite spot for a day trip from Tokyo.
Shibazakura is another popular spot to view spring flowers in the midst of Mt Fuji!. Book a day trip through Viator for only $76 by clicking here.
Or book a similar day trip to Shibazakura but add on Lake Motosu to include strawberry picking.
Ashikaga Flower Park is of course my other favorite garden to visit in April. Read my article The Ultimate Guide to the Whimsical Wisteria Tunnels of Japan.
read more on cherry blossom season in japan
If you're heading to Tokyo soon, I highly recommend my book Hidden Tokyo. It's a source of invaluable information that will take your trip to the next-level. It truly reveals how to experience Tokyo's hidden MAGIC. You'll never see Tokyo in the same way again.
