Settling in at Dartbrook 1826.
The opening of the Pitt Town – Bulga road, the Putty Road, in 1823 was timely for George Hall. He applied for lands in the Hunter Valley for himself and four of his sons, the first application having been made in April 1825.
The years 1825 and 1826 saw the Hall family settling in along the Dart Brook, a tributary of the Hunter River. The 3000 acre (1200 ha) block that would become the Halls' Dartbrook station was surveyed for George in May 1826 and other smaller blocks on the Dart Brook for four of George's sons, William, John, Thomas and James, soon after. Gundebri was a later purchase. Although the deeds for the original Dart Brook blocks were not issued until 1831, it is generally understood that the Halls occupied the land before survey. It is probable that Thomas Simpson Hall settled at Dartbrook in 1825 or 1826. The 1828 Census shows him in charge of 4700 acres, 700 cattle, 2 horses and 8 convict workers.
Dartbrook would become the base for future expansion northwards with Thomas directing operations and his younger brothers as his lieutenants. His older brother, William, remained with George to manage affairs in the Hawkesbury Valley. William and Thomas were George's right and left hands.
In 1828 George owned only 33 horses and this number decreased to 31 in 1830. Although William later became known as an expert horse breeder and supplied the Australian army, horse breeding was evidently not, in the 1820s, one of George's priorities and he would not have been over anxious to send many to the Hunter Valley.
Almost certainly Thomas Hall made the 300 km journey from Pitt Town to Dartbrook on foot, with a couple of horse-drawn carts carrying stores for the journey and tools for use in building, housing, stock yards and fencing. In 1828 there were only two horses on Dartbrook; probably the two original cart horses supplied from George's herd. Thomas would have taken his assigned convict workers with him, and those of his brothers with land grants in the Hunter, particularly John and James. Given the number of men on the trip, Thomas probably took a mob of cattle, too, carefully chosen for ease of handling, immediate food and future increase.
Heifers in calf would have been a logical choice and an older cow or two, chosen as natural leaders to keep the younger animals from straying away from the mob; perhaps a couple of young bull calves.
The assumption, that Dartbrook and the other Hunter Valley stations, were stocked from the Hawkesbury Valley, should not be made although Thomas, himself, developed extensive herds of Poll Shorthorns from his own imported stock. The Australian Agricultural Company (AACo.) was formed in 1824, by Act of British Parliament, initially for the purpose of improving flocks of merino sheep for fine wool production, along with tobacco, flax and other crops for possible export. A site on the Karuah River, west of Port Stephens, was chosen for the settlement and, by 1826, 1000 head of cattle and 2000 sheep were grazing on the AACo holding. Acting in George's name, Thomas may have bought stock from the AACo. Imported Shorthorns were also to be found in Scone and the Halls are said to have bought cattle from a Bylong breeder, John Lee in 1848, possibly to stock properties to the north of Dartbrook.
Despite the advantages of a surveyed road, the trek through the highlands between the Hawkesbury and Hunter Valleys would have taught Thomas and his company much about the realities of moving cattle through the 300 km of rugged, heavily timbered terrain between Pitt Town and Dartbrook, compared with less than 100 km through cleared, undulating lands to the Auburn Farms. With or without dogs? Unknown.
During his first year or so at Dartbrook, land clearance, building and fencing would have preoccupied Thomas but he probably returned to Pitt Town periodically, for stores and equipment, and to report progress to his father and William. Discussion of dogs, indispensable in rough timbered country, can hardly have been avoided during one such visit, nor can the need for stock horses as well as draught animals. Dartbrook House was occupied in 1840 and may have been completed as early as 1835 to receive Thomas's wife, Ann McGinnis (daughter of a convict, George McGinnis) after his marriage in that year.
Thomas had no knowledge of British working dogs except for whatever was already in New South Wales – he was born in the colony – and his older siblings were children when they left England, but both their parents had farming backgrounds and would surely have been familiar with the dogs used in Northumberland. George and Mary probably wrote home, from time to time, and it would have been Thomas's parents who thought to import working dogs and who arranged the necessary business with family contacts in Northumberland. Dartbrook was the obvious destination for the imported dogs, well away from chance matings with dogs in the Pitt Town area, and at the frontier and control centre of future moves northward. Thomas was given the task of caring for them and breeding up their numbers. Given that letters to and from England were months on the way, it is unlikely that the imported dogs arrived at Dartbrook much before 1830.
During the 1830s the expansion of the pastoral industry, combined with an expanding whaling industry and capital inflow from Britain, fuelled rapid growth in the New South Wales colony but downturn began in 1840 with the 1838-1840 drought. A wave of bank failures in the early 1840s appear not to have affected the Halls but the economic conditions and the drought, itself, certainly checked George's plans for northward expansion. George's death, in 1840, might have halted those plans permanently had not his family decided to carry on as George would have wished and when conditions favoured them, in the name of the George Hall Estate, "The Firm" as the family called it. Business as usual, under the direction of William and Thomas Hall.
The 1830s were a period of consolidation during which Thomas was able give his attention to breeding on from his imported working dogs and the need for effective dogs assumed new urgency in the 1830s. Criticism of the convict transportation system was becoming louder and the Molesworth report to the British Government in 1837 recommended abolition, describing transportation as "not just exile but slavery as well". For pastoralists like the Halls this foreshadowed labour shortage. In 1833 convicts made up 40% of the New South Wales population.
The Order-in-Council ending transportation to New South Wales was signed in 1837 and the last convict ship to Sydney arrived in late 1840. Land owners, such as W.C. Wentworth, agitated for reintroduction of transportation as a labour supply for wool growers and other free immigrants who had been attracted to the colony by the prospect of land grants and assigned convict labour. Wentworth's lobby had considerable clout and a small number of transportees were sent to New South Wales during the later 1840s. The last convicts arrived in New South Wales in 1850.

Berlin, November 10, 2017
Continental's CEO Dr Elmar Degenhart called for an open discussion about the technology
required to reduce road-traffic CO2 emissions stating that electromobility is only part of the
solution and to mitigate climate change effectively there is a need for a combination of electric
drive systems consisting of clean diesel and gasoline engines, climate-neutral synthetic fuels
and fuel cells. He also said that governments banning internal combustion technology is not
the right way to go, particularly because the acceptance of new technologies among
consumers cannot be enforced through political means. The ideas were discussed at the
'Automobilwoche Kongress' in Berlin.
When it comes to electricity generation he added, "The contribution of electric mobility to
climate mitigation is highly dependent on the way the electricity is generated and the carbon
footprint. In most markets, the electric drive already has a slight advantage over the internal
combustion engine in terms of CO2. However, the share of electric vehicles in the global fleet
is increasing relatively slowly, they will therefore only have an effect on CO2 emissions in the
long term."
At the same time, Degenhart also highlighted how important it is for the industry and
governments to work together: "Technology regulations are counterproductive. It is more the
job of the industry to invest in the technologies that enable us to comply with emission
regulations. It therefore makes more sense for governments to promote research and
development of the necessary innovations and set out a reliable long-term framework for
doing so."
Degenhart sees the technological and commercial competitiveness of the battery cells as the
challenge that has to be faced if millions of electric vehicles are to be launched quickly. For
example, if electric cars needed to make up around 70 per cent of all the cars and LCVs of up
to six tonnes produced in 2050 to have a meaningful effect on climate-change mitigation, this
would highlight the extremely high amount of investment needed. To create the required
amount of battery capacity, it would be necessary to have around 165 battery factories, each
with an annual production of 40 gigawatt hours. Based on today's prices, this would require
an investment of around €500 billion.
The production, charging and recycling of the battery systems needed for this would require
the generation of around 2,500 terawatt hours of additional energy. This would equate to
around a tenth of today's global energy demand, which could be achieved with future
electricity generation processes, dependent on increases in efficiency. The same goes for the
demand for raw materials – particularly lithium and cobalt, of which in theory there are
sufficient amounts available. At the same time, Degenhart pointed out the issues of cobalt
reserves, some of which are located in politically unstable regions.
Degenhart sees his company as being ideally positioned for the future of drive systems
saying that Continental is tackling the challenge of the change in drive technologies for
vehicles, focusing on the grwoing demand for highly efficient, low-emission technologies for
internal combustion engines as well as on electrified and all-electric drive systems.

As a leader, there are some days where I'm sure you ask "Why am I doing this?" Let's be real honest- it's challenging to lead a LifeGroup. People have issues and challenges. There's a weekly pressure of preparing for a group study, communication to group members, and planning events. Leading can be challenging and sometimes we may reach the end of a LifeGroup season wondering what all the effort is for.
During this season walking through Hebrews with Pastor Michael, we have encountered Hebrews 10:24-25 which says, "And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near." Apparently for the writer of Hebrews, the gathering of the local church was of primary importance. And, although our large worship gatherings are very encouraging and beneficial, these gatherings alone cannot accomplish everything in this short passage concerning encouraging one another.

Best Casinos To Try This Slot
Games with ultra high volatility and many thousands of ways to win seem to be all the rage right now. Tiger and Dragon is one such slot machine, though Red Rake has taken it one step further than the competition, delivering way more ways to win and rewards to match the game area.
Pretty much every aspect of Tiger and Dragon has been taken to the next level, and what better example I could give you of this, than the 1,000,000 ways to win which are available on its 6x10 reels. There is a limit on the payout which can be won, due to the extreme potential of the game otherwise, and that maximum value is set to 20,000x the stake. Among the features involved, you will find the Tiger and Dragon Roulette, free spins, respins and infinite multipliers.
Betting and Prizes
Look at the top right corner, to find the betting options. These start at the $0.20 mark, and they can reach a value of $35, when highest. You get 1 million ways to win in exchange, so I'd say that it's a fair deal.
Since we know that the game's winnings have been limited to 20,000x the stake, we can calculate that the absolute highest jackpot paid out in Tiger and Dragon can be valued at $700,000. As the best paying combination will pay $1,750 (50x the stake), you will need 400 of those ways to be fully covered by jackpot symbols, in order to get paid that much. Of course, it's even easier than that, if you get the multipliers to apply to those wins.
Tiger and Dragon Slot Features
I think you will agree that the game stands out, and a lot of that has to do with its 1 million ways to win. Symbols need to be of the same type, on neighboring reels, to form combinations of 3 to 6 icons.
The part that allows them to offer this many ways to win is the presence of non-winning symbols, which often occupy a large chunk of the game area, yet they're not capable of forming combinations.
In order to access the free spins, you need winning combinations first. These will activate elements found on the Bonus meter, to the left. Activate them all, to reach the free spins. You can also get to them via 5 respins or more, if they come in the same round. A big pro of the free spins is that they have infinite multipliers, starting at 1x and going up after each respin.
A Roulette Mini-Game will start once you've accumulated non-winning symbols in the special panel. You pick one of the two sides, after which the roulette spins and if you're lucky it will land on a spoke which belongs to your creature.
Cascading Reels will remove winning symbols and will then bring others to the reels. They can lead to the free spins feature, if 5 or more respins occur in a single round.
Theme & Design
It's a Chinese-style theme, one which features two of their legendary creatures, the White Tiger and the Green Dragon. You see these creatures in a lot of Chinese slots, particularly the latter. Several symbols with Chinese writing turned into logos are also in play, as are playing cards and a non-winning symbol which has both creatures present.
Tiger and Dragon looks like an interesting pick, has awesome potential and 1 million ways to win, but it also gets a non-winning symbol which can't form combinations, the way through which they limit the game's potential.

The AKC Judges sheet has this statement: "I certify that in my opinion the WINNER ____ and RESERVE ____ are deserving of Championship Points on this day." When an entire class entry is not of Championship quality on the day, the judge is obligated to withhold winners. Winners and Reserve are not to be awarded to the best specimen on the day – it is for the best Championship qualty dog on the day.
A judge is not encourging exhibitors by being dishonest. It is dishonest to give points to a dog that is not of Championship quality on the day. When a judge chooses the so-called easy way out and awards points - one day the exhibitor will find out they have been mislead - the trauma will cause them to leave the dog world. Honesty does count - as difficult as it may seem at the time.
The judge needs to clearly and diplomatically explain their decision to the exhibtor(s) involved. In a situation like this the breeders and exhibitors also have an obligation to help mentor these exhibitors, especially when they leave the ring.
Judging is not for the purpose of being the most popular person at the dog show - it is to award breeding stock based on their quality.
Have you ever stood in the center of the ring and asked yourself - who gave these dogs points? That is the purpose of the judge certifying that on this day the dog is of championship quality.
Would you breed to these animals? Why not?
Judges should not be ribbon dispensers. A judge has a responsibility to the breed, AKC, the exhibitors and the Parent Club and the dogs being evaluated. Reasonable quality dogs are not Championship quality dogs - they are fillers.
Remember to keep smiling and help the newcomer in a true and positive manor.
withheld more placings, rightly so, than any other judge. His judging integrity to upholding the breed Standard and withholding when it was necessary is sadly lacking in the show ring world wide.

Wine Caparzo, Sangiovese, Toscana IGT, 2016
Tasting Notes
Wine, ruby-red color.
The wine has a well-balanced, warm fruit flavors with hints of blackberry dominant, refreshing acidity and a dry finish with hints of spice.
The wine shows an intense aroma with hints of blackberry, strawberry and spices.
The wine goes well with red meat, pasta with meat sauces, soups, vegetables, sausages, spaghetti with tomatoes and basil, cheese average degree of exposure.
Interesting Facts
Created from Sangiovese grapes, wine Caparzo, Sangiovese perfected delayed for several months in small oak barrels. This wine seduces monosortovoe floral aroma and a warm fruity flavor with a nice refreshing acidity. Storage capacity of the vintage 2013 is 5 years.
Manor Kapartso (Caparzo) belongs to Elizabeth Angelina Italian, as well as estates Doga delle Klavule (Doga delle Clavule) and Borgo Scopeti (Tenuta Scopeto) . Despite the fact that they belong to the same owner, all three facilities are markedly different from each other. So, winemakers Doga delle Klavule (130 hectares, the commune Magliano in Toscana) produced only three wines created with care and love, winemakers Kapartso (200 hectares area Montalcino) tend to create a new wine primarily for novelty and experiment, but experts Borgo Scopeti (503 hectare area Siena) try to match the classic and recognizable canons of Italian winemaking. However, under the wise leadership of the owner, all three names are well known around the world - for example, wine Kapartso are available in the best restaurants in Italy and in the major countries of the world: USA, UK, Russia, France and others. Scopeti wine, despite its relative youth, also gained international popularity and are available in many leading countries (about 30 countries).

Technical Description
The Virtual Private Cloud is a fully user-managed private cloud hosted in Selectel data centers. The main components within the cloud are virtual servers and networks (local and public).
Every new VPC project is a unique isolated cloud that resources can be reserved for and where custom server pools can be created.
In terms of allocating resources, there are practically no limits to virtual server operating systems and features. Pre-configured Linux and Windows images are available for installation, and server images may be uploaded by the user or existing volumes with an OS already installed may be used to create new servers.
Virtual machines can be finely tuned during the creation process: number of vCPUs and RAM, volume size and type (fast, universal, or basic), and network and connection options.
The flexibility and scalability of the VPC is achieved by easily distributing and redistributing disk space and computing power. When creating or updating virtual servers, existing volumes with operating systems can be attached, requiring only the amount of RAM and number of vCPUs be changed to the proper amount.
VPC Components
The Virtual Private Cloud service includes the following components:
- Virtual Private Cloud. An isolated virtual network of servers with a manageable IP address space.
- Resource. A single unit of a physical server's resources made available in a virtual pool.
- Virtual Server. A virtual machine created from allocated resources and serving as a dedicated server.
- Volume. Different types of data storage solutions that operate on a permanent basis and independent of virtual servers.
- Network. Local and public subnets for grouping virtual machines and providing Internet access.
- Router. Connects subnets to one another and distributes traffic between servers, NAT nodes, and subnets.
- License. Additional Windows Server licenses that are available for lease.
- Image Storage. Disk space for storing custom server images.
Before getting started with the VPC, users create a project where resources can be reserved for future use:
- Total number of virtual processors
- Volumes
- Network resources
Resources are available in multiple zones located in two regions: Moscow and St. Petersburg, which are fully independent of one another.
Virtual servers are created from allocated resources. Servers interact with one another and the outside world over one of two network types:
- Local — an isolated network for grouping virtual machines
- Public — a subnet with Internet access
Please note: Access to virtual machines is only possible through the VNC console.
The Internet can be accessed over a public subnet or floating IP address, which is a legitimate external IP address and is available until it is deleted. Network bandwidth is 1 Gbps.
Virtual machines located in one region, but multiple zones, can be connected in local networks. For example, you can configure data and application redundancy with high-speed data transfers and create fault-tolerant systems to safeguard online resources from malfunctions and downtime.
If necessary, VPC virtual servers and physical servers in Selectel data centers can be connected in one local network. There are no limits to the number of local networks that can be created for setting up secure data transfers within the system.

Fury content as underdogs
The North Queensland Fury will happily carry the underdog tag into their encounter with Gold Coast United at Skilled Park on Saturday night.
The North Queensland Fury will happily carry the underdog tag into their encounter with Gold Coast United at Skilled Park on Saturday night.
It is the first time the Hyundai A-League's two newest franchises will go head to head in a regular season match.
Tensions have been high between the two fledgling clubs from the beginning, igniting further after United pulled out of a planned pre-season encounter in Cairns.
After an off-field tussle the game was rescheduled at the Gold Coast where United claimed a 2-0 victory.
The Gold Coast is going in as heavy favourites following its impressive 3-1 victory over the Roar, while the Fury remain winless after a painful 3-2 defeat at the hands of Sydney FC.
"I'm not allowed to bet, so I might tell my wife to put a couple of bucks on," Ferguson joked.
"We're a brand new franchise; they're a brand new franchise. They've come in and won a game, we've come in and lost a game so the bookies are right, they're favourites and hot favourites at that," he admitted.
But the bookies' long odds haven't crushed the Fury's hopes of an upset.
"I've already been asked this question … do you think you're going to win? Of course I think I'm going to win, I wouldn't turn up otherwise … just give Gold Coast the points and save everybody the trouble of travelling down there," Ferguson said.
"Definitely we think we're going to win."
The playing group shares the coach's sentiments with defender John Tambouras keen to avenge the pre-season defeat.
"We tend not to worry about them so much," Tambouras said.
"We look at it as what we have to do … once you start worrying about the other team you're already behind the eight ball."
"They are probably favourites to win but we'll take the underdog tag, we've had the underdog tag right through pre-season."
"We've got a lot of doubters out there but we're keen to prove everyone wrong."

Paper type: Essay Pages: 2 (418 words)
The Ultimate Truth Truth by definition as according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary is a judgment, proposition, or idea that is true or accepted as true. But how as individuals do we know if something is true? Our knowledge of what is true in my opinion comes from multiple aspects. For example, by using the mind we rationalize and logically think out situations we observe through our senses to understand how, why and if something is true. But we don't only use one of our senses to know if something is true we use all of them.
We use the ability to see, taste, smell, touch, hear and apply it to our daily lives to test ideas to see if they are true. So basically we use the scientific method in our daily lives subconsciously without even realizing it. Personally I do not use tradition or religious beliefs as tools in seeking truth as individuals once did in the pre-modern European era because what may have been at one time seen as "true" may not be currently based on environment, circumstances, and situations.
For example in pre-modern European times they relied somewhat on their senses but immensely on their Judea Christian beliefs because this is what they were told to be true by their hierarchy. Previous thought relied more on the whole rather than the individual; there really was no sense of "self" during this era. Currently Sociologist develop their ideas of valid knowledge of "what is" based on the ideas of religious believers, philosophers, historians, and scientist.
Religious believers develop their ideas based upon faith, tradition, written scriptures and unexplained phenomena's while Philosophers base it on abstract ideas and the unknown. Historians use both the ideas of religious believers and philosophers to develop their own truths in conjunction with more concrete evidence like artifacts, journals, etc. Scientist use the scientific method, which uses the senses to develop experiments, and history to develop valid knowledge of what is.
Although this is the way things may be seen as true it may not be the case for someone else. By using the word truth as a synonym for the word "valid" or accurate knowledge of the ways things are could become misleading since the idea of truth and what is true is relative to the individual. However, if there was to ever be an ultimate truth in the world I think French classical author Francois de la Rochefoucauld said it best : "The only thing constant in life is change. "

The Servant in the House: A Brief History of the Sewing Machine
Posted by James Wolfensberger on
When I first began reading and understanding the history of the sewing machine, I realized I had never considered all possibilities for the way people would have responded to early attempts to build and utilize such a machine.
The machines of Barthelemy Thimonnier engaged in sewing uniforms for the army in France were destroyed by a mob, and the development of what promised to be America's first practical machine (that of Walter Hunt in 1834) was laid aside for fear of taking the bread out of the mouths of the seamstresses.
That quote is from the 1929 Smithsonian report The Servant in the House: A Brief History of the Sewing Machine. With the sewing machine being the first "industrial" appliance to become common in the household, it's easy to grasp why it would be dubbed "the servant" (in spite of the required operator). The sewing machine lost this prominence in America about fifty years later as the 1970s evolved - cheap international labor largely replaced home sewing and American women increasingly worked outside of the home as a matter of both equality and financial necessity.
Reading a history composed in 1929 is particularly interesting in that the domestic sewing machine, as used in homes, remained vital to families at that time. The topic was very current. It's a different context than a history of sewing machines written today, less imbued with nostalgia and more immediate in its relevance. Liken this to reading about mobile phone development over the past ten years - something with which 85% of the world's population is intimate.
Would you rather read a 2016 history of the iPhone or a 1929 history of the sewing machine? Since you landed here on this page, I can guess your answer. Enjoy!

Colorado Sens. Wayne Allard and Ken Salazar find themselves on opposite sides in the Senate this week as lawmakers wrestle over how to shore up the slumping housing market, even as Colorado moved up to fifth place nationally in the number of homes in foreclosure.
Allard, a Republican who serves on the Senate Banking Committee, said he urged President Bush to issue a veto threat this week over any mortgage legislation that would allow homeowners in default to rewrite their mortgages in bankruptcy court.
"Obviously we want to do what we can (to help) but to force the problem into bankruptcy court where a judge could change the conditions of the mortgage will only increase the risk to lenders and make it more difficult to get mortgages," Allard said in a telephone press conference Wednesday. "That has the potential to increase the cost of loans to everyone."
Salazar, a Democrat, took the opposite view, saying Congress needed to reopen the bankruptcy code to allow defaulting homeowners more protection. He said there are 49,000 homes in foreclosure in Colorado and that is pushing down the home values for more than 700,000 homes across the state.
"The language we are crafting would be very limited to the mortgages on existing homes," Salazar said.
The other provisions in the Foreclosure Protection Act of 2008 include providing an additional $10 billion in mortgage revenue bonds to encourage lenders to modify loans headed for foreclosure.
It is the proposed change to the bankruptcy code, however, that brought banks and the mortgage-lending industry into the debate. Those lenders are facing billions in losses through foreclosures, but the problem extends much further because many high-interest mortgages were packaged and resold as securities. Lenders are fearful that being forced to rewrite mortgage terms through bankruptcy filing only would extend their losses.
Instead of widening bankruptcy protections, Allard said Congress should be offering potential homebuyers multiyear tax credits if they purchase a new home. He said one option being drafted in the Senate is a $5,000 a year tax credit, for three years. "That's the way we should be dealing with the oversupply of housing," he said. "I've run the idea past bankers and everyone agrees that if we can get a market-based solution, that would be better than tying down people and property in bankruptcy."
Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., and chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, is preparing a larger bill that would provide the mortgage industry with $15 billion in assistance, but would refunnel the defaulting mortgages into Federal Housing Administration loans.
Salazar, a new member of the Senate Finance Committee, said he wasn't certain that large step was necessary yet. He said the Senate committee was hopeful the $10 billion in additional mortgage revenue bonds should be incentive enough to help refinance many mortgages in danger of defaulting.
Asked about the White House threat to veto the mortgage legislation if it reopens the bankruptcy code, Salazar said the White House was wrong. He said the current code provides ways for homeowners to keep possession of second homes and even vacation homes, but does not provide easy protection for people trying to protect their only residence.
"This is an inequity that needs to be addressed," he said.

A dunk tank, also known as a dunking booth or dunking machine, is an attraction mainly used in funfairs, fundraisers, and personal parties. A dunk tank consists of a large tank of water, over which a volunteer is suspended while sitting on a collapsing seat. The game is played by a ball being thrown at a target attached to the tank which, if hit, causes the seat to collapse, "dunking" the person into the tank.
Most dunk tanks consist of a plastic tank and seat, with a metal support frame and a target to the side of the tank. Other dunk tanks are made entirely of metal, and some are made of wood. The person to be dunked, called the "victim", climbs onto the seat via a ladder on the side of the dunk tank. Usually, there is fence-like protector around the seat, which is used to protect the person sitting on the seat from being injured by stray balls missing the target. The seat is latched in an upright position. By striking the target, the seat will suddenly collapse, thus "dunking" the victim into the tank of water. Being a dunk tank victim is generally regarded as embarrassing, humiliating, uncomfortable, and even miserable for the participant as the water is usually very cold and the weather may or may not be accommodating for the victim's comfort. Some participants thoroughly enjoy the experience of feeling uncertainty while sitting on a collapsible seat suspended over a freezing tank of water as well as the sudden shock or excitement of inevitably getting dunked into the tank. Regardless of enjoyment, people will volunteer to sit in a dunk tank for work, to entertain, as a form of humiliating punishment to pay off a losing bet, or for charity.
There are many types and brands of dunk tanks commercially available. The Easy Dunker, manufactured by Twister Display, is likely the most common rentable dunk tank on the US market. It consists of a plastic tank, approximately four feet deep, and a plastic seat, around which is a plastic chassis which can be towed by a vehicle with a trailer hitch. Often there is a clear plastic window on the front of the tank so that the victim can be seen when he or she is dropped underwater. To the side of the tank is a circle target approximately one foot in diameter. Behind the target is a plastic tarp with a metal frame to catch balls which miss the target itself. The victim is also protected by a chain-link fence enclosure while waiting to be dunked. When the target is hit, the seat becomes disengaged from the chassis, dropping the victim into the tank. The seat-target mechanism, usually a vise grip that holds the seat in place by clamping down on a metal ring at the rear underside of the seat, and which is welded to the chassis so that the target shaft trips it when hit, must be reset afterwards, and the victim climbs back onto the seat using a molded step at the bottom rear of the tank and the chain-link enclosure and chassis for leverage.
Twister Display has since released an updated version of their dunk tank, called Easy Dunker 2. This newer model is similar in all aspects to the original, though there have been a few modifications. Whereas the original chassis had a platform flush to the seat on both sides, for the Easy Dunker 2 on one side the platform is lower, nearly flush to the top of the tank, forming a step that makes it easier to get onto the seat.
The folding style dunk tank is manufactured in the USA by Hi Striker Co. Instead of a solid plastic tank, this dunk tank is made of metal panels that fold out on-site. Then a vinyl bladder drops into the center of the dunk tank to hold the water. The benefit of this style of dunk tank is requires much less space to transport to events. Whereas a standard Dunk Tank must be towed by a vehicle, this style dunk tank is only 4'x4'x1.5' when folded up, so it fits in the back of a pickup truck.
There is a smaller and shallower dunk tank, similar to the Easy Dunker. This type of tank works is a similar manner, but is often used in events where younger children might wish to participate in getting dunked. Additionally, there are several individual dunk tank designs. Among the dozens of variations are dunk tanks in which the victim is completely enclosed by a fenced enclosure; dunk tanks in which two or more people can be dunked at the same time; and dunk tanks where the target mechanism is tripped by unusual ways (e.g., making a golf hole, shooting a free throw, etc.) There are also dunk tanks where the seat runs sideways across the tank and is supported at one side by the target shaft, for some of these particular dunk tanks the seat splits apart in the middle, as seen in the movie Roustabout and the CHiPs episode entitled Boulder Wrap Party. There are also dunk tanks where instead of a traditional seat, the victim sits on a swing, as seen on Battle of the Network Stars which aired in the late 70's and early 80's.
Dunk tanks are often used by groups for fund raisers. For example, a group may rent a dunk tank for Shadow Of The City and have people volunteer to sit in a dunk tank. The public could then pay a small fee for the chance to dunk the volunteer victim. Common dunk tank victims include teachers, models, beauty queens, local celebrities, community leaders, and public figures.
Dunk tanks are also frequently rented for events where people are not charged to dunk a volunteer. Schools, for example, may have teachers volunteer to get dunked as a reward for students at the end of the school year. "Free" dunk tanks are also common at church picnics, block parties, birthday parties, etc. Bars and night clubs will also rent dunk tanks and hire models or pay waitresses to sit in a dunk tank for promotional purposes. University Fraternity and Sorority parties and fundraisers are also common events with dunk tanks. In Thailand, dunk tanks are a popular attraction at Buddhist temple fairs for a game called sao noi tok nam (สาวน้อยตกน้ำ, literally little lady falling into water).
Dunk tanks are used in some UK nightclubs. Normally centred on-stage as the focal point of an evening's entertainment. Clubbers can volunteer themselves or their friends for a soaking in the dunk tank, usually for a prize.
Depending on the type of event the dunk tank is being used for, the people being dunked may opt for various clothing options. People will often volunteer to get dunked fully clothed for a humorous effect. For example, school teachers, a boss at a company picnic, or local "celebrities" may choose to wear street clothes in the dunking booth for added effect. Some men even wear a suit and tie and some women wear a nice open collared button down shirt and skirt, or funny costumes in a dunk tank. Also, a group may choose to wear a special uniform while on the dunk tank. For example, youth group may wear a group T-shirt, or a Scouting group may choose to be dunked wearing their Scout uniforms.
If people know beforehand that they will be getting dunked, they often choose to wear a swimsuit or wetsuit while on the dunk tank. Other times, a person might dress up in a costume before taking their turn sitting in a dunk tank. At some fundraising events, women may be encouraged to just wear a bikini in order to draw more men in to pay. Women will often wear bikini's and men will often wear only shorts because wet clothing sticking to the body makes the victim get colder – especially if dunk tank shifts last a prolonged period of time. In some night clubs, dunkees may just wear their underwear so as not to get their street clothes wet, and to attract attention from the desired sex. Dunk tanks are also an object of sexual fetish, as the experience is often seen as humiliating, embarrassing, and subjugating for the person sitting in a dunk tank.
While some dunk tank rental agencies recommend that footwear is worn when being dunked, most choose to simply go barefoot.
Aside from cost, safety is the primary reason that a dunk tank would not be permitted at a given event. If the operator(s) is/are not fully trained or not giving the proper instructions there is a slight chance of injury when getting dunked, and people have been injured on occasion. General safety guidelines include keeping hands off any part of the tank assembly - some rental companies recommend keeping hands on your lap when sitting on a dunk tank. Grasping the seat could result in pinched fingers when the seat falls, and holding on to the side of the tank or enclosure could cause arm and shoulder injuries when falling in. There is also a slight risk of slipping on the bottom of the tank, so some rental companies recommend wearing shoes or sandals when getting dunked. However, most people prefer not to wear footwear in a dunk tank, and instead remember to "fall forward", to avoid hitting a body part on part of the tank assembly. In fact, many times volunteers are specifically instructed not to wear shoes, as they would like to keep the water in the tank clean. Additionally, following guidelines for the specific dunk tank being used will further prevent injuries. The possibility for injury has led to the creation of other alternatives as explained below.
Quite often, young children wish to get dunked in a dunk tank. While many dunk tank manufacturers do not encourage or recommend younger children to sit in a dunk tank, children frequently participate in getting dunked (provided that they can swim), either as part of a fundraiser for a youth group, or at other events. Generally, children should not have a problem getting dunked, provided that they are taller than the tank is deep. A responsible adult should be supervising to ensure that the tank is operated safely, and that there is no horseplay. Many groups may require parent permission, whether verbally or through a signed waiver or permission slip to allow their children to sit in a dunk tank.
Several alternatives to the dunk tank have been developed for a variety of reasons. Among them is a search for a safer product, which does not involve a collapsing seat, thus being more comfortable for both children and adults to participate in. Also, most alternatives use less water than a dunk tank, and some may even be used both indoors and outdoors. Alternative dunk tanks drop water on the volunteer, rather than having him or her fall into a tank of water. This is accomplished, for example, by an electric motor, by bursting a water balloon over the volunteer, or simply by overturning a bucket of water. Some devices can even be used to drop substances other than water on the victim - for example, confetti, slime,or mud. Given the advantages of these alternatives, the classic dunk tank is often considered to be more fun, a better crowd-pleaser, with the potential to net more profit in a fundraiser. In 2004, Wild Planet created a toy called the dunk seat, which is similar to a dunk tank, except the target is sprayed with water from a gardening hose.
Aquaventronics is a manufacturer of a number of dunk tank alternatives, including their patented Beat The Bucket game (US8702104 B2), and Pitch N' Pop game. Beat The Bucket is the world's first "Dunkee Defendable" dunk tank. The only game allowing a player the opportunity to control their fate; provided they have the reaction time and skill to do so. A single player stands behind the station and with the aid of a blocking arm, can defend the two targets from being hit. A second player throws waterlogged balls (or Juggle Balls, Tennis Balls, Nerf Balls, Wiffle Balls) while trying to hit the 2 targets. If the player using the blocker can act quickly enough, they can stop the ball from hitting the target. However, should the ball happen to strike a target, a cool, refreshing bucket of water is dumped from above. The bucket then automatically resets and fills with water, ready for the next defender.

In both respects it's much more than one might think. At any one time, we are wrapped in 4.99 million million tons of it – that is 4.99 followed by 13 zeros. It varies of course with the heat and the pressure, but at sea level, and at the ordinary temperature of a summer day, one cubic meter of air weighs about 1.14 kilograms. It produces at sea level a pressure of about 6.66 kilograms per square inch. This means that upon the skin of medium-sized person there is a constant total pressure of 13,590 kg., but it is transmitted equally in every direction. The person is not crushed, because he is like an inflated toy balloon with enormous pressure outside but an equally strong pressure inside. So, there is little strain on the delicate elastic tissue.
It is estimated that for all practical purposes the atmosphere terminates at nearly 100 kilometers above the sea level. However, a few air molecules linger here and there for a few kilometers more, until more or less total vacuum of space begins.

"Life is too blummin' short not to have a giggle while you can."
Author - Kirsty Greenwood
Publication Date - April 9th 2015
Publisher - Pan
Format - Paperback (Provided via author)
Pages - 400
The blurb
Jessica Beam is a girl who knows how to party. Only lately she's been forgetting to turn up for work on time. Or in clean clothes. Down on her luck, out of a job and homeless, Jess seeks the help of her long-lost grandmother.
Things aren't going well for Matilda Beam, either. Her 1950s Good Woman guide books are out of print, her mortgage payments staggering and her granddaughter wears neon Wonderbras!
When a lifeline from a London publisher arrives, the pair have an opportunity to secure the roof over their heads - by invigorating the Good Woman guides and transforming modern, rebellious Jess into a demure vintage lady.
The true test of their make-over will be to capture the heart of notorious London playboy Leo Frost and prove that Matilda's guides still work. It's going to take commitment, nerves of steel and one seriously pointy bra to pull this off...
Becca's thoughts
I am speechless. Absolutely, honest to God, 100% speechless. I have no idea of where to even begin with my review of The Vintage Guide to Love and Romance by Kirsty Greenwood. There's so much I want to say, so many gorgeous things that I want to comment on, and I'm almost certain that the majority of my thoughts will come to me once I'm away from this review and my laptop, gah! So, bookish beauts, I'm going to try my best to convey my utter, utter adoration of this book to any would-be readers out there in the big wide world, although whether it will make sense or not is another matter entirely.
Before I really get into my review, I want to say a huge, incredibly grateful thank you to the author Kirsty Greenwood, for sending me a beautiful, beauuuutiful proof of The Vintage Guide to Love and Romance in the post. I've said it before and I'll say it again, NOTHING BEATS BOOKS IN THE POST! What makes it even better is when the book in question just happens to be one that you've been seriously looking forward to. Of course, in typical Becca fashion, my to-read pile is about 47957 times the size of me, and it took me a while to finally reach it, but my GOD, was the wait (even though it slowly killed me) worth it!
The cover for The Vintage Guide to Love and Romance is stunning, is it not? I love a bit of "vintage fashion" at the best of times, so the polka-dot red dress and the flower in the hair really worked for me. What I loved even more about the cover though (and yes, typical modern-day girl), is the fact that the lady on the cover (who is the perfect cartoon depiction of Jessica Beam) is holding a mobile phone, which clashes so fantastically with the whole vintage theme of the story within, I can't help but to grin stupidly when I look at it! The blues, the whites, the reds, the font! The whole package is to die for, just indescribably perfect... But, despite all of the gushiness over Kirsty's cover, and despite it becoming one of my favourite covers EVER, it doesn't, not even slightly, hold a single frickin' flame to the story within...
So, it took me about fifteen pages, twenty tops, to come to the conclusion that Jessica was, without a doubt, one of the most charmingly funny, ridiculously endearing and entertaining characters that I have ever come across before. I just couldn't help but to adore her and her crazy, onesie-wearing ways! She was bubbly, sometimes a little clumsy, and made me smile and laugh right the way through this book. Jessica Beam is one of those characters whose lives you think about long after you turn the final page of their story, because not only are they alive within the pages of the book, but they're completely alive in your mind, too. Vivid and bold and dancing around in your imagination. Jessica Beam, to me, instantly became the sort of character who I wanted good things to happen to, I wanted her to come out on top, I wanted her to be loved, not only by me, but by the thousands of would-be readers out there in the world. I wanted Jessica to be known by every chick-lit fan, to be talked about long after the book's publication date, and I'm sure, after reading countless reviews from fellow book-bloggers, that this has happened. In the lead-up to writing my review, I've seen Jessica Beam's name everywhere, and as crazy as it sounds, it makes me smile to know that she's just as loved by other readers as she is loved by me.
The Vintage Guide to Love and Romance follows Jessica Beam's story, beginning at the point where she and best friend Summer traverse to a popular London publisher who has shown an piqued interest in their joint blog, Summer in the City (although let's be real here, Jessica is the one who does the real work when it comes to their blog, Summer just takes the pictures and looks pretty). After a few choice words after their visit, Summer throws Jessica out of their shared place, and Jessica is left homeless, money-less, and destination-less. By chance, Jessica stumbles across the fact that she has a grandmother out there somewhere, known as Dorothy Beam, so turning up on her grandmother's doorstep, Jessica's plan is to borrow some money (after all, grandparents live for their grandchildren, right?) and hot-foot it to somewhere far, far away. Unfortunately for Jessica, Dorothy Beam has other plans, plans which work beautifully alongside her previously published work, which are 1950's Good Woman guide books. In order for Dorothy to finally have the chance to get her work back out there in the big, wide, world, she has to prove that the Good Woman guides can still work in today's modern society, where women no longer simper and coo at their male companions, and who better to play the 1950's Good Woman role than her unruly, rebellious, outspoken granddaughter Jessica Beam? Jessica's goal is to capture the heart of playboy Leo Frost, not as herself of course, but as a 1950's Good Woman.
I'd heard people talking about how freakin' good this book was, but I truly had no idea until I ventured into Jessica Beam's world for myself. It had everything, and I mean everything, that a chick-lit/romance reader could dream of, and then so much more. I can tell you now that there wasn't a single thing that was out of place in this book. It had me grinning, it had me frowning, it had me screaming, it had me swooning... I was all over the bloody place! Seriously, I had no idea that the author was capable of making me feel this way about a fictional character and her circumstances.
It was quirky, sophisticated, girly, romantically funny and true joy to lose myself within. My only grumble is that Jessica Beam IS NOT REAL! I want to know this woman, I want to annoy her with my chatter while she's trying to go for a morning run, I want to see exactly how she looks after her vintage make-up, and I would do anything, ANYTHING, to see her face once this absolutely PERFECT BOOK comes to an end. There needs to be sequel. THERE NEEDS TO BE A MOVIE. There needs to be SOMETHING MORE FROM JESSICA BEAM, because it's been days now, days I'm telling you, and she hasn't left my head. I hope she's happy (weirdest thing ever, isn't it?) and I also hope that I get to be reunited with her, and the fantastic characters she's surrounded by, one day in the future, because the thought of never being in Jessica Beam's world again saddens me so, so much.
Kirsty Greenwood, I cannot begin to tell you how chuffed I am that you sent me a copy of your book. I'm ashamed to say that I haven't yet read your first Yours, Truly but after this bombshell of a book, I'll definitely be venturing into another world of yours sometime soon. It terrifies me that I could have missed the chance to live alongside Jessica, and I so thankful that I didn't. I cannot recommend this book enough to EVERYBODY. It is outstanding. It goes without saying how many cupcakes this baby's getting.

Peterson: Aran Smooth Nickel Mounted (408) Fishtail
Product Number: 002-029-44020
The "408" shape, a classic Peterson design, is something of a hybrid between the traditional English bent Apple and Author shapes, but with a wider shank than, for example, Dunhill or (in its day) Barling would have employed. The overall impression is a mix of the familiar and the novel that is beautiful in its own unexpected way.
