Lost Net and a Newsletter
Joe Alexander fished Talybont Reservoir near the small pull in lay by , last month , 7th April and left his net behind Joe said he may have even left it in the water. The net is a snowbee extendable landing net , black handle , green mesh , with a silver carrying clip on it. If you have found it can you contact a committee member to enable us to re-unite Joe with his net
This newsletter has come from Severn and Wye Smokery, the people who have supplied the South East Wales Rivers Trust elvers for the eels in the classroom project which started last week Tony Rees and I delivered and set up equipment and elvers supplied by the Severn and Wye Smokery. I think it is an honest appraisal of where we are regarding the state of the rivers regarding salmon.
** More Welsh players picked for the Lions tour than sea trout caught on the Towy
It's been several months since my last 'Riverbank News' so lots to tell.
On the subject of wild sea trout and wild salmon the news so far this season is not encouraging. The coracle sea trout fishermen in South Wales started their season early (1st March), although the season usually gets off to a slow start we do expect a regular and good supply of fish during April but it just hasn't happened this year and the number of sea trout caught can be counted on one hand. Although the commercial wild salmon fisheries have not started their season yet indications already from rod and line fishermen suggest that salmon catch numbers will be down this year. The River Wye, which was hailed as a recovery river last year and recorded catch numbers not seen since the 1980s, has so far this season only caught half the number of salmon caught during the same period last year.
In Scotland the news is no better, having myself been on two failed fishing trips already this year. Some may argue that this is simply down to my skills as a fisherman but in my experience salmon have no respect for what is tied to the end of the rod or the person holding it, and talking to gillies and experienced local fishermen there is genuine concern for the state of wild stock levels. May and June are the River Wye's best fishing months and once these have passed we will have a better idea of how things really are for us locally.
The local elver season is drawing to a close and we have probably only one more significant tide to fish before the season ends on the 25th May. Better news here though having had another relatively good season this year. As part of our commitment to sustainability and restocking we shall be siting numerous tanks of elvers as part of our 'Eels in Schools' project again this year in partnership with the South East Wales River Trust, and all being well culminating in another major release at Llangorse after the summer.
Those that have visited us will know that we have a small shop with a great wet fish counter and small café attached. Since opening it has increased in popularity and people now come from far and wide to visit us but in all honesty it isn't the most comfortable of experiences for visitors – hard seats and cold fridge-like conditions haven't, it seems, deterred the many that have come and supported us, but things are about to change. Alongside the shop we had a traditional long stone barn which was all but falling down and this seemed the perfect site to create a proper visitor centre. What started out as a repair and reroofing job soon turned into a total rebuild. The barn was knocked down, every single stone cleaned, recut and re-laid using lime mortar. The result is a magnificent refurbishment that will act as a tribute for many years to the local craftsmen that have rebuilt it. Work kitting out the interior is in full flow and we hope to open end June/beginning July. What
awaits visitors now will be a very different and, we hope, pleasing experience.
A lot of thought has gone into making this a green and sustainable build with as near as we can get to negative carbon footprint.
We have solar thermal panels on the roof of the newly built staff facilities which together with a ground source heat pumps system which will provide all the heating for the restaurant, shop and staff facilities. It will also generate 4 tonnes of hot water a day for us to use for wash down, hand wash etc.
On the roof of the barn we have a photovoltaic solar panel system which will generate additional power for the barn and smokery.
The same attention has gone into the design of the kitchen, and having seen the totally electric induction systems installed in several of our customers' new kitchens we opted for a similar bespoke design. We are busy now putting together an enthusiastic skilled team that will be able to offer our brand of Gloucestershire hospitality.
It's taken nearly eight years of repeated planning applications and appeals but our own water treatment facility is now fully operational. It's the only single-cell lagoon system of its kind in the UK. It was designed to be future-proof and currently processes all our foul and waste water from the factory, shop, restaurant, staff facilities and nine surrounding household residences. Solar powered this runs at an estimated cost of 75p a day. It's already drawn attention from Welsh Water and the Environment Agency who, after visiting, think it is the perfect water treatment solution and expressed an interest in using it as a showcase model.
Salmon prices
The record prices reached before and after Christmas have seriously damaged the market. The swiftness and timing of the increases meant the market was forced to swallow a bitter pill. The reaction post-Christmas is that salmon is off the menu and prices have eased back slightly. Salmon now has competition! As of today MSC cod and haddock are 30% cheaper than fresh salmon fillet prices. The market is now very finely balanced. Prices are fluctuating up and down by as much as 10%. As prices ease in the UK, international buyers from the US, the Far East and Europe are entering the market and taking up that excess forcing prices back up again. Once these international buyers have replenished their reserves we may then see a more honest supply and demand price offering.
More news soon.

Waterfowl on TopPond
Members of the public have contacted the Association to remove dead Waterfowl from the banks of Top Pond. So far a Canadian Goose and a Mallard have been found dead and a Grebe has been wounded. We have informed the Biodiversity Officer of Merthyr Tydfil Borough Council, who will have informed the Wild Life Crime Officer and are requesting members of the public or Association Members to report to the police via the 101 number if you see anyone shooting air rifles in the vicinity of the Pond. If yu do see waterfowl in distress please contact a committee member so that action can be taken. Please do report, it has taken a long time for the wildlife to establish itself on the pond and is a joy to see.

EA are hoping that this is just a small glitch.
River Ely Litter Pick
In 2016 Cardiff's Environmental Scrutiny Committee set up the Restore Our Rivers inquiry to look into the problems facing local rivers and to identify how these could be resolved. To deliver this work they drew in the support of Dwr Cymru / Welsh Water, Natural Resources Wales, Keep Wales Tidy, South East Wales Rivers Trust, Glamorgan Anglers, Cardiff Rivers Group and Groundwork Wales.
To celebrate the work of the Restore Our Rivers Group and to raise the profile of the planned events for the River Ely Clean the group is running an organised litter pick at Grangemoor Park in Cardiff on Tuesday 21st March 2017. The event will start at 10am and finish at 12pm. A link showing the location to Grangemoor Park is provided below:
If you interested in taking part please contact Richard Bowen on 02920 873606 or email him at email@example.com. Equipment for the litter pick will be made available on the day and the event will be supported by Keep Wales Tidy. Those taking part should meet in the car park for Grangemoor Park between 9:45am and 10am – the car park is next to the roundabout on Dunleavy Drive.
Cyfarthfa Park Lake
Malcolm Williams fished from peg 7, using the top 3 sections of his pole, today 15 mar and from the start at 2-o-clock until he finished at 5pm he was catching roach and rudd every time he cast in. Malcolm was using single maggot and feeding liquidised bread and maggots. Malcolm said it was his best days fishing for silver fish for a long time. It looks as if all the fish we have recently stocked are hungry, and it bodes well for the children's matches when they start in the near future.

Legal Guardian Plans
Many parents tell me that they don't need a comprehensive estate plan because they don't have a lot of stuff. But they forget that the most valuable asset a parent will ever have needs to be protected and taken care of...their children.
At ABC Utah Law, we enjoy helping our clients plan for the well-being and care of the children you love.
What is a Legal Guardian Plan?
A Legal Guardian Plan is more than just a Guardianship Nomination. A Legal Guardian Plan is a comprehensive set of legal documents that protect your minor children from being taken into state custody if something were to happen to you and your spouse.
If you are in an accident, your Legal Guardian Plan will make sure your children are taken care of by the ones you want. Many parents have an idea of who they would like to take care of their children if they were gone, and a lot of parents know who they DO NOT want to take care of their children. A Legal Guardian Plan helps you ensure that your children are cared for by the individuals you decide on, not someone picked by a judge who doesn't know you and your loved ones.
To get started with your Legal Guardian Plan, contact my office.

Four Little Five Letter Words (I)
July 12, 2014 Leave a comment
Words are powerful things. They can encourage or discourage, build up or break down. Some words have reputations. Think about the infamous four letter words. (Of course, I'm limiting my discussion to English, my native tongue. Related words aren't likely to be only four letters in any of the other languages of earth.) And no, we won't recite such things here. But they immediately conjure up some pictures, I'm sure. I remember once using some word I shouldn't have and my mother treated me to a mouth washing with Zest. I can't recommend it. In my ecology classes, we discuss parts of an ecosystem including that complex and essential one, the soil. I tell the class to never say the word "dirt" to a soil scientist, since that is a four letter word. Of course, it doesn't take too long for some bright young scholar to count the letters and chime in that "soil" is a four letter word, too.
Now, of course, there are many four letter words that are certainly welcomed in polite company. Think about it: Help. Hope. Give. Life. Love. No one can find fault with these words, and they can convey very positive messages in terms of the life of the spirit.
I got to thinking the other day that in matters of faith, there are several five letter words that are of tremendous impact. In fact, in matters of faith, faith itself is one of those five letter words. The writer of Hebrews defined faith as "…the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." (Hebrewes 11.1). Later, in verse 6 of the same chapter, he indicates that faith is essential to pleasing God: "…without faith, it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him." That makes sense, since it is likely that only those who believe in God would be interested in pleasing him. Belief in the existence of God must precede the realization of rewards.
But someone may say that James points out that faith without works is dead. And that is true. But as I have often thought, putting the works in perspective is essential. That passage is talking to established Christians about how to conduct their lives, as the rest of James' epistle also does. While I cannot argue that there are things that must be done in order to place one in that Christian relationship, failure to assign the appropriate contextual emphasis is dishonest, and misleading. In our more modern vernacular, James is basically saying that if you are going to talk the talk of being a disciple, you better be ready to walk the walk. Let your actions demonstrate your faith more loudly and clearly than mere words, because talk is cheap.
Another famous passage in James gets misused a lot, as well. The writer says in 4.17, "So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin." I can't tell you how many times I have heard the passage used to condemn procrastination in the matter of baptism. While the principle may be obliquely applicable, the direct context has nothing whatsoever to do with one's initial act of obedience or submission.
Notice the function of the comment in verse 17: the thought begins with "so," an obvious indication that the writer is drawing a conclusion. The immediate context returns to verse 13ff, where James expands his arguments regarding the tendency of some—remember that he is admonishing Christians—to leave God out of the picture when making plans.
"13 Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit"—14 yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. 15 Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that." 16 As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. 17 So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin."
This thought actually blends with the previous discussion of arrogance, which he asserts is firmly grounded in worldliness, or friendship with the world, in verses 5-10.
"5 Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, "He yearns jealously over the spirit that he has made to dwell in us"? 6 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble." 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you."
Faith and works are now mingled with the concept of grace, which, in keeping with our theme, happens to be another five letter word. Wait a minute: James doesn't talk about grace. Paul talks about grace. James is a "works" man. Read it again for yourself. Of verse 6, Barnes reflects,
"The meaning is, that he shows them favor; he bestows upon them the grace needful to secure their salvation. This he does:
(1) because they feel their need of his favor;
(2) because they will welcome his teaching and value his friendship;
(3) because all the arrangements of his grace are adapted only to such a state of mind. You cannot teach one who is so wise that he already supposes he knows enough; you cannot bestow grace on one who has no sense of the need of it. The arrangements of salvation are adapted only to an humble heart."
Grace is one of the most feared words in the narrowly focused segment of the faith heritage with which I have been associated. In the broader experience of this particular movement, it is not necessarily the case, however.
Back in the early/middle 19th century, as the Stone-Campbell Movement was picking up speed and becoming recognized especially across the American frontier, a former Baptist by the name of Walter Scott became one of the most successful evangelists in the new—or as many would have it, restored—group. Scott is credited (or some may suggest, blamed) with formalizing the Five Step Plan of Salvation. Scott would enter a town, find some children and teach them the five steps, which could easily be remembered by ticking them off the fingers of one hand, and encourage them to bring their parents to his revival meeting to learn more about this simple path to salvation.
In an earlier post, we discussed how Scott's initial concept included six steps, three for man and three for God. But, over time, this was reduced to five, de-emphasizing the role of God and emphasizing the works of man, where salvation largely remains today among many of this movement as a Five Finger Exercise. The sad and shocking thing that I think about is that so many preachers take to the pulpit weekly and tick off the Five Steps and never once in the entirety of their lesson or invitation speak the word, "grace." It is a sad commentary on the state of the movement when grace becomes a word to be shunned and avoided.
Grace is so important a concept that Paul opens and closes his letters with it, along with the twin blessing of peace (another five letter word, for those who are keeping score). Paul also delivers the most definitive pronouncement regarding the centrality of grace to the life of the Christian in Ephesians 2.4-10:
"4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."
Paul says that grace is the key to salvation, which can only be realized through faith, and not by the works that anyone may produce or perform which could then be used as the basis of claiming entitlement or perhaps even more seriously, may be the source of arrogant boasting. But notice also the result of receiving that grace: the Christian is to be engaged in good works. In a sense, he is to transmit God's grace to the world, serving as a conduit of that grace for God.

Where To Start with Services and More
The Developments in Real Estate Brought About by Technology
Real estate technology is the reason as to why the world of real estate is no longer how it was in the past. Among the many contributions of technology in real estate, the most beneficial will be with the use of the internet. There are actually a lot of things that the internet has contributed in the world of real estate with the likes of mass exposure for properties, free flow of information, as well as inter-corporation data exchange. Even so, how tech is changing real estate in terms of the big companies in the world of real estate? So, what if a big real estate company gives a call to a real estate agent, what happens then to the relationship that the real estate agent will have upon their clients?
With the internet containing all the necessary information and more regarding neighborhood maps, school district information, transaction history, detailed street-level images, and many more, the big names in real estate are now facing a lot of competition outside of the typical ways in which marketing is being done in the world of real estate. You need not wonder then why these big companies are now working their way to making use of technology in real estate so that they can remain relevant to their modern-day target market in the ever-changing world of real estate.
A lot of large firms are now engaging in franchise models so that they can better form expansive collaborations that will bring together various agencies with the help of a network kind of cooperation. Since information will still freely flow in real estate, you can now expect that more customers will now work with individual real estate agents that will work for them rather than the big companies. In addition, with online real estate services coming to existence, brokerage companies are now urging their real estate agents to work with self-branding, independent client acquisition, and self-promotion strategies.
Because of the internet, it is not just possible for consumers to buy a home online but now, they can also learn what they can before they ever decide to make deals with real estate companies. Gone are the days where home buyers will just get the information straight from a real estate agent regarding a property that they plan on buying, now they already have acquired their much needed information and they just need a real estate agent to make a confirmation with them. You see, this communication between the agent and consumer is all another source of information and not the main one at all. With the aid of real estate technology, the real estate agent all but plays a secondary role and never the main role in the consumer's purchasing power.

"We search the internet everyday looking for the very best of What's Happening, primarily on Manhattan's WestSide, so that you don't have to." We make it as easy as 1-2-3.
For future NYC Events better check the tab above: "Notable NYC Events-OCTOBER"
It's the most comprehensive list of top events this month that you will find anywhere.
Carefully curated from "Only the Best" NYC event info on the the web, it's a simply superb resource that will help you plan your NYC visit all through the month.
Have time for only one NYC Event today? Do this:
Open House New York (also Sunday)
various locations, FREE
Happens only once a year, makes this my fave weekend.
"Historic residential and commercial buildings will be opened to the public during this annual series of architecture tours and talks. Attendees will enjoy access to more than two hundred and seventy-five sites across the city, along with lectures from designers and developers. Highlights include the African Burial Ground National Monument, in Tribeca; the restored Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House, in the financial district; the rooftop farms of Brooklyn Grange; a trip to the top of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine; the Edgar Allan Poe Cottage, in the Bronx; the Met Breuer, on the Upper East Side; and the Kings County Distillery, the city's oldest operating whiskey distiller." (NewYorker)
7 OTHER TOP NYC EVENTS TODAY (see below for full listing)
>> Andrea McArdle: An Evening with Andrea McCardle
>> If These Walls Could Talk: Celebrating the Life and Times of The Bottom Line
>> Cruise Up the Hudson River
>> The New York Coffee Festival
>> Occult Humanities Conference
Music, Dance, Performing Arts
at Terminal 5 / 8PM, $42
"Troy Andrews, known as Trombone Shorty, is an ambassador for New Orleans music who's ready to handle the syncretic impulse that guides both pop musicians and world-class improvisers today. He's also deeply embedded in the tradition of his hometown, where he comes from a long line of professional musicians. His latest album, "Parking Lot Symphony," has a strand of melancholic lament that runs through it, putting it in line with the times. But it inherits the lineage of celebratory funk and marching band music from which Mr. Andrews descends. His concerts lean heavily on that tradition." (NYT-GIOVANNI RUSSONELLO)
at the Joyce Theater (2 p.m. and 8 p.m.) $51+
"Adam Sklute, the artistic director of Ballet West, brings his company back to the Joyce with the New York premieres of "Fox on the Doorstep" by resident choreographer, Nicolo Fonte, and "Dances for Lou" by Val Caniparoli. Gerarld Arpino's final work, the elegiac "Ruth, Ricordi per Due," will also be shown along with excerpts from George Balanchine's "Chaconne" and a preview of a coming piece by the Spanish choreographer Africa Guzman." (NYT-GIA KOURLAS)
Andrea McArdle: An Evening with Andrea McCardle (Oct.12-14)
Feinstein's/54 Below / 7PM, $40-$55
"Though she has appeared in many productions since—including Broadway's Beauty and the Beast and Starlight Express—Andrea McArdle will probably always be remembered most fondly as the big-belting moppet who stole our hearts in the original Annie. ("Tomorrow" belongs to her.) In her return to F/54, she performs contemporary songs alongside standards and show tunes, and shares stories from her long showbiz journey." (TONY)
If These Walls Could Talk: Celebrating the Life and Times of The Bottom Line
Schimmel Center, 3 Spruce St./ 7:30PM, $29+
Host Paul Shaffer; Music Director Gregg Bendian
Featuring Sean Altman, David Bromberg (Fri only), Marshall Chapman, Clint de Ganon, The GrooveBarbers, Garland Jeffreys (Sat only), David Johansen, Christine Lavin (Sat only), Will Lee, Darlene Love with Ula Hedwig and Curtis King, Terre Roche with Feifei Yang and Garry Dial (Fri only), Uptown Horns and Jimmy Vivino
"Join us for a multimedia celebration of The Bottom Line, featuring music and memories, songs and stories by a selection of artists who were regular performers at the iconic club. Host Paul Shaffer with special guests will swap stories about their favorite times on stage, off stage and backstage and perform songs that made the club a destination for fans of all music genres."
Smart Stuff / Other NYC Events
(Lectures, Discussions, Book Talks, Literary Readings, Classes, Food & Drink, Other)
Cruise Up the Hudson River
National Lighthouse Museum, 200 The Promenade at Lighthouse Point / 1PM, $60
"Join National Lighthouse Members and friends as we cruise up the Hudson River on Saturday, October 14th, 2016 from 1:00pm – 4:00pm – (tides will determine the ending time). We will be leaving from the NY Waterway Pier at the World Financial Center located on the Hudson River at Vesey St. and North End Ave.
Presenters will narrate the cruise as we view the Little Red Lighthouse at Jeffrey's Hook, Ambrose Lightship, Frying Pan Lightship, Lilac Light Tender and the Titanic Memorial Light. Presenters will also note significant New York City sites and relate historic tales. We'll learn about West Point, Stony Point and the Tarrytown Light while viewing the magnificent Palisades and fall foliage.
This trip takes place, rain or shine and leaves promptly at 1:00pm. (Time and tide waits for no man nor woman!) Refreshments will be available on board, but feel free to bring your own snacks."
The New York Coffee Festival
Metropolitan Pavillion / various times, $30
"Kicks off today, this weekend-long fest features tastings, interactive workshops and barista demonstrations from more than 100 coffee-industry insiders."
"Beanheads rejoice! The third annual New York Coffee Festival grinds into the Metropolitam Pavilion for three days of brewed fun with over 100 innovative exhibitors. There will be unlimited free coffee, workshops and talks, street food, a barista competition, live music inspired by New York from The Coffee Music Project, an art gallery through the Coffee Art Project, giveaways, and much more. So wake up and smell the coffee at this three-day fest." (TONY)
Occult Humanities Conference (Oct.13-15)
NYU Steinhardt, 34 Stuyvesant St./ 8PM, $110
*PLEASE NOTE: The conference is SOLD OUT. However the exhibition, vending area, Saturday night performance, and Sunday night closing reception are all free and open to the public.
Better pay attention next year, and get your tickets early, because this conference on Contemporary Art and Scholarship on the Esoteric Traditions is pretty darn unique.
"Do you believe in magic? Rick Santorum's fundamentalist fears about satanic forces at work in academia will be justified, if only for one weekend at one university, during the Occult Humanities Conference. Art enchants scholarship when Serinity Young discusses women who fly, Karsten Krejcarek chronicles encounters with mystical traditions in Latin America, Sara Hannant illuminates the history of magic and photography, Jason Baumann summons up the "espiritismo" in Nuyorican poetry, and conference co-organizer Pam Grossman, of the marvelous Phantasmaphile blog, leads a panel discussion about the cresting "Witch Wave" in contemporary culture. Musical performances by harpist Ellena Phillips and the Alunaré collective will enhance the esoterica, and works by Toronto's mysterious Tin Can Forest art crew are on display." (Richard Gehr, Village Voice)
Continuing Events
The 55th New York Film Festival (9/28-10/15)
at The Film Society of Lincoln Center,
The 18-day New York Film Festival highlights the best in world cinema, featuring 25 works from celebrated filmmakers as well as fresh new talent from around the globe.
"The 55th New York Film Festival's Main Slate showcases films honored at Cannes, including Ruben Östlund's Palme d'Or–winner The Square; Robin Campillo's BPM, awarded the Cannes Critics' Prize; and Agnès Varda & JR's Faces Places, which took home the Golden Eye. From Berlin, Aki Kaurismäki's Silver Bear–winner The Other Side of Hope and Agnieszka Holland's Alfred Bauer Prize–winner Spoor mark the returns of two New York Film Festival veterans, while Luca Guadagnino's acclaimed Call Me by Your Name will be his NYFF debut."(cityguideny.com)
"The main slate nabs the headlines, but this festival's sidebars nearly constitute a festival of their own. In the Spotlight on Documentary program, Travis Wilkerson's riveting "Did You Wonder Who Fired the Gun?" (Friday and Sunday) grapples with a family legend: that Mr. Wilkerson's white great-grandfather almost certainly got away with murdering a black man in Alabama in the 1940s. The main retrospective of the festival (which runs through Oct. 15) celebrates Robert Mitchum's centennial. "His Kind of Woman" (Friday), with Mitchum (above, with Jane Russell) as a gambler lured to Mexico as a sap, and the auteur purée "Macao" (Thursday), on which Nicholas Ray took over for Josef von Sternberg, are enjoyably overstuffed Howard Hughes productions. William A. Wellman's "Track of the Cat" (Monday); Otto Preminger's "River of No Return" (Monday), with Marilyn Monroe; and Vincente Minnelli's "Home From the Hill" (Thursday), all in CinemaScope, demand big-screen viewing." (BEN KENIGSBERG, NYT)
31 days, 100+ ways to celebrate design in NYC! The seventh-annual, month-long festival of architecture activities, programs, and exhibitions in New York City will take place October 1-31, 2017. Archtober's calendar features 200 architecture and design lectures, conferences, programs, and exhibitions at more than 70+ collaborating institutions across the city.
For more details go to my Tab in the Header: "Notable Events October" and scroll all the long way to the bottom. This event makes America, or at least NYCity, great again.
The 10th Annual Imagine Science Film Festival (Oct.13-20)
"Produced by Imagine Science Films — the nonprofit behind science film festivals in New York, Paris, Abu Dhabi and satellite events worldwide – Imagine Science Film Festival showcases new and experimental works that bridge the worlds of science and film in an artful, entertaining, and meaningful way.
All of the events are low cost or FREE. The festival includes short and feature-length films, live cinema performances, discussions, interactive demonstrations and more taking place at museums, universities and cultural institutions across Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. Several of the films will be making their U.S. debuts at the festival.
Notable programming includes:
(Im)migration & Híbridos at National Sawdust (Saturday, Oct 14 @ 7 pm / 9:30 pm) – A two-part evening featuring Vincent Moon and Priscilla Telmon presenting their live cinema project Híbridos, an experimental ethnographic study of Brazil, mixing tradition and modernity. Preceding Híbridos is (Im)migration, a performance and short film program on the topics of migration and identity.
North American premiere of Honey, Rain and Dust at the American Museum of Natural History (Friday, Oct 20 @ 4 pm) – A unique ethnographic and ecological look into an unseen corner of the Arabian Gulf: beekeeping traditions in the northwestern mountains of the United Arab Emirates."(ThoughtGallery.org)
For the complete program, visit: http://imaginesciencefilms.org/ny10/program
Tickets: free – $18

Caffe Vivaldi – 32 Jones St. nr Bleecker St. caffevivaldi.com, 212-691-7538
a classic, old jazz club in the Village, Caffe V often surprises with a wonderfully eclectic lineup. It's my favorite spot for an evening of listening enjoyment and discovery.

A PremierPub
Jimmy's Corner / 140 W 44th St (btw B'way & 7th ave)
Jimmy's Corner is right in the heart of Times Square, but you won't find it on the corner, it's mid-block. Enter this long narrow bar and you are struck by the walls covered with mostly black-and-white boxing photographs, and memorabilia. Soon enough you learn that "Corner" refers to proprietor Jimmy Glenn's long career as a corner man for some of boxing greats – Liston, Tyson, even "the greatest," Ali.
Jimmy's is a sort of time machine, taking you back to a time and place that no longer exists. All around you Times Square has cleaned up, grown up, assumed a new identity. Jimmy's probably hasn't changed a bit since it first opened in 1971. Certainly the bar itself looks original and the prices haven't changed much either. When I brought a friend, who owns her own bar, she was surprised when she got the small tab for a round of drinks. Figured there must be a mistake, that maybe they forgot to charge for all the drinks.
Times Square today is filled with neon glitz and wandering tourists from Dubuque, but not Jimmy's. You'll likely find some old timer's at the bar nursing their drinks, some younger locals at tables in the back, and maybe a few adventuresome tourists clutching their trusty guidebooks. There's no food served here because this is just a bar, and sometimes that's all you need.
On nights when no local team is playing, it's a fine place to sip some drafts and listen to a great old time jukebox, with a great selection of 40s& 50s R&B and soul. On sports nights this very narrow bar can get a bit claustrophobic, filled with excited fans watching their team on the TVs. Either way, Jimmy's is the place to be if you are looking for an old time bar in the new Times Square.
Website: are you kidding !
(although there is a facebook page with lots of photos –
Phone #: 212-221-9510
Hours: 11am – 4 am, except Sunday they open 12 noon
Happy Hour: not necessary, low prices all day, every day
Subway: #1,2,3 to TimesSquare 42nd st
walk 2 blks N on 7th ave to 44th st; ½ blk E to Jimmy's

Holistic Pulsing
Holistic Pulsing is more than a body therapy…it is also a philosophy, a way of life. At the heart of it is a belief in wholeness – that we are more than the sum of our parts and that integration of those parts leads to healing, through a sense of completeness and connectedness. We rediscover this through a philosophy of acceptance, awareness and re-empowerment….and through the gentle rhythms and flow of Holistic Pulsing, as experienced by the "Mind-Body". The overall aims of Holistic Pulsing are to expand inner awareness, develop self-acceptance and self-responsibility, and to re-integrate the whole person. The focus is on healing through ease of movement, wholeness, and enjoyment.

Engineering Research Center, Western Electric Company, Princeton, N.J. 08540
In a previous paper, the acoustic emission (AE) signal emitted from a Minster1 #3 punch press was completely characterized and effects of stock hardness were examined. The AE signal emitted during punching was found to consist of three components: initial impact, shear fracture and rupture. Effects of stock hardness on the AE signal were then examined in terms of relative timing and amplitude of these three components and an excellent correlation was found between AE count and stock hardness. As a continuation, effects of stock thickness, tool size and tool wear are examined in this report. Similar to the previous study, their effects are investigated qualitatively in terms of relative timing and amplitude of the AE component and quantitatively in terms of AE count. Again good correlations are found between these process variables and the AE signals.

Autism is no longer an uninsurable pre-existing condition
For well over a year we fought for the opportunity to pay for insurance for our son who has, until this month– been denied on the basis of his "pre-existing condition". Jay has autism. He's healthy and happy. And now… he has insurance!
I am thankful to so many who had a part in making this happen… to family and friends… to politicians and insurance companies who gave me lip service and made me angry… but, it really came down to our Congressman– John Boccieri, who took a big political chance… whose family endured threats and as recently as last week was on the front page of the NY Times with a man's finger in his face… He voted for healthcare reform.
I don't believe that when President Obama signed HCR he had any thought of the children with autism who were denied this often taken for granted thing– but, his signature gave my son a little piece of normalcy. For that I will always be thankful.
The Republicans have sworn to work for the repeal of HCR… This would be a huge step backwards… and, we can not allow it to happen. Vote. Stand up for those who, like Congressman Boccieri, have stood up for our kids!
Tonight, my son goes to bed with insurance. And, I can sleep knowing that what I did mattered.

I can't put into words how excited and honored I felt having been asked to make a wedding dress!! And by one of my dearest friends - no less. It was *such* a privilege! I'd been dreaming of making one for along time. So as you can imagine I was beyond thrilled when my darling friend, Lauren, asked me to make hers!
She did a bunch of searching in the couple months following her engagement and decided on this dress as the basic design idea.
|For safety reason we shaped the neckline on the dressform... ;)
|So much pinning and tweaking...
|Do you ever wonder how we make heads or tails out of these things??? Yeah so do I... lol
|The final mockup. We did 4 all together I do believe.
|We decided on this gorgeous silk chiffon for the material. Fully lined bodice and skirt, as well as 3 layers of chiffon for the skirt. Frankly I was a bit nervous. :D Close-ish time limits and having never worked with chiffon before. But I couldn't have asked for a better or more patient bride!
|Getting ready to cut. A wee bit nerve wracking...
|20+ yards of silk chiffon! So lovely.
|I think this shows how fun silk chiffon is to work with... lol
|After getting the dress itself finished we had another fitting. Everything was looking quite nice, but we decided to add a sash to set it off.
|The first try on of the actual dress.
|Experimenting with different sash ideas.
|Overcasting the waist seam - after I was sure I wouldn't need to be tearing anything apart. :).
|The sash
|Tiny little sleeves. Super fluttery and sheer. :)
|Finally finished!
|Just really liked this shot. ;)
|The back....
All in all I think it took about 2 weeks to make it.
A couple sneek peaks of the day...
Keep your eyes open for a post in the next few days about the actual wedding where you'll get to see more pictures of the dress, complete, on the gorgeous bride, with the sash properly placed, as well as a fluffy skirt. ;)

The Agile Manifesto doesn't provide concrete steps. Organizations usually seek more specific methods within the Agile movement. These include Crystal Clear, Extreme Programming, Feature Driven Development, Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM), Scrum, and others. Scrum opens the door to other useful Agile practices such as test-driven development (TDD). ePATHUSA helped all their clients use Scrum to become more agile. A truly agile enterprise would not have a "business side" and a "technical side." It would have teams working directly on delivering business value.

Farringdon has developed a tachometer movement which allows two needles to be driven by separate stepper motors. Although the main purpose of this development was to produce a replacement for older chronometric types, the tell-tale needle remains an important engine monitor and a useful feature in any tachometer.
Sizes and Bezels
There are three sizes; the RCA50 which is fits into an 80 mm diameter hole, the RCA51 which fits in a 100 mm hole and the RCA52 which fits into a 120 mm hole. Various scales and ranges are available - please call for the latest availability. All three types are available with chrome or black anodised bezels. The commonest types are pictured below:
The Tell-Tale Needle
The tell-tale needle can operate in one of two modes. The first is conventional where the tell-tale needle appears to be pushed by the main needle and sticks at the highest position reached. In this mode, the needle is reset by pressing the small button supplied with the tacho.The second mode, called auto-reset, automatically resets the needle after a period of two seconds. This is a useful driving aid as it allows the driver to monitor the maximum revs reached by the engine at each gear change without having to keep his eyes on the tachometer at the very instant of the change.
After power is applied to the tacho, the tell tale needle is driven to the maximum rpm it has seen. If the tell tale is in auto-reset mode, this shows the value that a normal tell-tale would have shown. This value can be reset at any time by simply pressing the push button.
Shift Lights
The tacho provides two separately adjustable shift light outputs. When both shift lights are lit, they flash as an additional alert. Two special LED shift lights are supplied with the tacho.
The tachometer is quartz crystal controlled and will show the rpm to an accuracy better than 1% + or - 100 rpm on the main part of the scale. The resolution and therefore the accuracy of the compressed scale is reduced in proportion.
The tacho is powered from the car's 12 volt supply. (As the case is isolated, it can be used with positive earth cars)
The trigger can be from any reasonable source although contact breaker type require the fitting a small filter box which is supplied with every instrument. By far the best form of trigger is from a separate sensor which will not be affected by odd ignition spikes or rev. limiters that always give a false reading when reached. Call us to discuss the options....

Found this on another blog and it made me laugh.
was waiting for cloud to move from in front of Pikes Peak this morning so to past time I shot some clouds. This looked like a butterfly.
This reminded me of a sting ray or a large vagina. Sorry.
This looked like a weiner dog or pokeman character...
This looked like a crocodile with it's mouth open or a mouse running.
This reminded me of a bird embryo or another mouse running....
either a bent penis or a cow from above...
A pig puffing perhaps one of the three pigs?
Ok the cloud moved a bit to show Pikes Peak!
It was a cold day here highs didn't go above 15 degrees.
Anyway hope you enjoyed my cloud photos. Excited about Survivor night. Spaghetti and meatballs for Bryce's birthday. Yes, we do celebrate at least 7 days per birthday. Just to make up for zero birthday parties for me growing up. I am over it, I totally am. Wish it would warm up here, it's been colder than a well digger's ass, what are your favorite colder than sayings...got that one from KJ....Keep warm C.

Dear Family and Friends,
Hello!! Well this has been a pretty average week overall. One thing I will say about Hispanics is they really love their vacation time. A lot of our appointments this week were rescheduled because many people still had family over finishing up their holidays. But our next week here in the Woodlands is already packed with appointments. We have an investigator here who is close to getting baptized, but refuses to set a date. He says he is waiting on God to give him the date. Some people don't like to make any decisions on their own. This investigator also says he won't get baptized unless I am there at the baptism. This brings me to the big news.
I got transferred!!! I am going to a new area with a new companion. My new companions name is Hermana Rodriguez. She is from Guatemala. So yeah my Spanish is going to soar!! Whohoa!! This will be nice, because with this last companion, I felt like I knew more Spanish than she did. She is going home in three transfers. She goes home in May. But it is all good. We all have our own struggles on the mission. Well I don't have the address yet for my new apartment, so just send any letters to the mission office address for now. Here in the Woodlands, we are surrounded by English speaking Elders. We are the only Spanish speakers. In my new area, we are in a district with all Spanish speakers. This means we will get to have Spanish study together. Also, my old MTC companions are in my district. Weirdly enough my two MTC companions are now companions again in a trio with another more experienced Hermana, Hermana Maylett. Hermana Maylett goes home in two transfers. It will be so cool to see my old MTC companions more. And there will be other missionaries covering the ward I am in. Yeah, I am no longer in charge of a whole Ward in regards to missionary work. So needless to say, I am excited. I will give you more details next week.
Stay safe everyone. I love and miss all of you!!

Love Quotes For Her From
The Heart
I wish I could be your tear drops,
for what more could anyone ask
for then to be conceived in your heart,
born in your eyes, live on your
cheeks, and die on your lips
I am only complete when I am with you.
It doesn't matter what I went through in life,
all bad experiences don't matter anymore,
now that I have you.
I want to grow old with you.
And one day on our rocking chairs
next to each other,
I would still be wanting you.

Quotes For Her
They say when penguins find their mate,
they stay together for the rest of their lives
Will you be my penguin?
Grow old with me!
The best is yet to be.
I love you more than tongue can tell,
or heart can hold in silence.
I love when my heart smiles,
but the best of all,
it smiles because of you.
I love thee, I love but thee
With a love that shall not die
Till the sun grows cold
And the stars grow old.
Eternity, is when I look into your eyes.
You are the *coca* to my *cola*
You are the *race* to my *car*
You are the *macaroni* to my *cheese*
You are the *Wal* to my *Mart*

You are the *keys* to my *heart*

I could walk was a step toward finding you

Love You Quotes For Her
I never thought that
my LIFE might be EASIER
if I weren't IN LOVE with YOU...
It's never been this colorful and bright
without YOU by my side
I can't find the right words to say
how much you are to me.
You are simply more than words.
I made a wish
and *you* came true.
When I first met you
You reached out to shake my hand
When I got to know you
You reached out to understand my mind
When I liked you, you reached out
and touched my heart..
When I loved you, you reached out
and touched my soul...
When I thought I had nothing
I had everything when I had you...
If we're meant to be togther
Let it be...
If fate wants us to be forever
Let's wait and see...

Here we go, the round up of the Second Trimester (as I'm now officially in the third one! Eeek!). Running from Week 13, up until last week (Week 26) – there's a fair bit of bump progression in these shots! I can't believe how much my body has changed in a relatively short amount of time.
What I find perhaps the strangest is that my bump seems to bounce in and out through the weeks, gradually getting bigger, but with a step back every now and then. I have a feeling it's something to do with my hips and pelvis shifting, and so an adjustment of my posture. Once again, looking from Week 13 to Week 26 gives the biggest contrast:
And I think here you can see just how much more curved my back is from the earlier pic (excuse the change in colour tone – it seems to vary throughout the weeks!).
Just for fun, let's also have a look at the start of the pregnancy vs. now…
There goes my figure! And my arse… Still, I'm quite enjoying my new shape, especially now that it's so clear that my body is creating something pretty amazing. Hello Miss Grub! Looking forward to meeting her in about 12 weeks…eeek!
Hope you enjoyed the trip down memory lane!

While I'm here, I do have thoughts about this 'acrimonious' divorce....obviously I refer to Heather Mills and Paul McCartney.
(Why do they always describe these things as acrimonious?)
I am feeling very cynical about Ms Mills. She described her settlement of 24 million pounds as 'incredible', and then expressed her relief that this safeguarded the future of her and her daughter, taking care of such everyday expenses as school fees, nannies etc.
Come on!! One hundredth of that would secure my future, pay school fees for all my grandchildren, and allow me to set my home up so that I could live the way I want to for what remains of my life. And we might manage without a nanny!
I cannot get away from the idea that she was in it for the money. The rest of us have to work! I have been married more than once, and so have some knowledge on the subject of failing marriages. I am afraid that I believe that a marriage that lasts only four years was based in the first place on false premises – one or other or both didn't know why they were doing it....or, worse, knew exactly why they were doing it!
I really hate being a cynic!!

I haven't really been following this high profile divorce. I can't help but feel that both parties are as bad as each other.
I think you're onto something...a marriage that only last that long: someone's been playing games!

Digital Trust: Aligning Security and User Experience
By American Banker and VASCO Data Security
Presented by:
Benjamin Wyrick, VP of Sales and Business Operations @ VASCO
Will LaSala, Director of Services NA @ VASCO
Moderated by: Michael Sisk, Senior Editor@ American Banker
Financial institutions are in the middle of a major digital transformation. Technological advancements have made fintech faster, more flexible and more convenient. They also brought forward cyber fraud attacks that were not even in the picture just a few years ago forcing fintech community to take a hard look at security vs user experience.
How can FIs reconcile the challenge of balancing security and positive user experience? Bringing "digital trust" to their customers could be the answer.
This webcast will discuss the concept of "digital trust" in fintech and how FIs can benefit from it in areas like customer onboarding, document signing, account takeover and fraud prevention, transaction integrity, compliance, and user convenience.
Fintech security experts from VASCO will outline a strategic roadmap for building digital trust, including:
- Electronic identity proofing
- Secure provisioning and device binding
- Mobile app security and runtime application self-protection
- Unobtrusive multi-factor authentication
- Transaction security
- Real-time fraud prevention
- Digital signing

Trailokasyaasya sarvasya naatyam bhaavaanukeertanam||
Meaning:- Naatya is the glorification of all the emotive features of the world.
The aesthetic pleasure is equated with the supreme bliss by later rhetoricians (brahmananda sahodaraha). They even give their theory, the vedic sanction, by quoting, "raso vai saha".
This pleasure is experienced by the connoisseur when he/she loses himself/herself in the enjoyment of witnessing a visual art like dance or drama, listening to an enchanting song, reading a penetrating book or visualising an eye – capturing painting or sculpture.
Visual art in the form of Drama or Dance – drama was one of the most popular and effective mode of communication and chief source of entertainment. It is due to this reason that this art-from has been enhanced and elevated to the level of Veda by naming it as Natya –Veda.
Guided by the essence of the spirituality enshrined in dance, we strive to bestow on our students the knowledge of various dance forms. The Dance Room in fact informs the very soul of aesthetic endeavour in school.
The Dance Dept. imparts training in Bharata Natyam, Kuchipudi, Kathak, Folk Dance, Creative Dance and various forms of Western Dance such as Hip Hop and Salsa. How well the students imbibe this learning is amply demonstrated by the array of trophies won by students at various competitions.
Dukkhaartanaam shokaartaanaam tapasvinaam |Vishraantijananam kale naatyametad bhavishyati
Dance will provide solace to the afflicted, fatigued, miserable ones and ascetics, tired of religious ceremonies.
-Bharata's Natya Sastra

Last Wednesday I was experimenting with a different way home from work (in North Jersey) that ended up winding me through Newark right by Sooner's law library. I needed to make a 4 PM appt in my New York City office, but could completely have a lunch date with Soonikins. We decided that instead of having a date where we ate out, he would sneak out of the library and come with me to Jersey City where we would have left overs for lunch and USE OUR LUNCH MONEY TO BUY YARN.
He came with me to the closing, sat in my office and admired the view from the 46th floor of the Empire State Building, making copies of the patterns he liked out of my copy of Stitch n Bitch Nation. I sat in the conference room with the most annoying clients in the history of the world.
I was done by 4:45, though, and we set off to the LYS* on Madison Ave and 36th Street, The Yarn Connection. I was somewhat unimpressed, since we weren't greeted and it was small and sort of smelly--both owners were totally involved in helping an older lady decide what yarns to buy. There also really wasn't a place to sit.
The yarn selection was good in that there were many different yarns, but bad in that there wasn't really a quantity of good colors available. I ended up buying something, since it was no sales tax week in NYC (8 1/2% savings) and I found the very perfect yarn for making skull & crossbones wristbands for Haywood for valentine's day. It is a lovely and soft cashmere/merino blend, one skein each red and black. I couldn't get 100% cashmere as I'd wanted because it was $98 a skein and I love my GF but I don't love $200 worth of wristbands.
Sooner showed complete yarn buying restraint.
We then took the train down to Knit New York and met Peter, a barista, who does not know how to knit. I said "Greetings Fellow Knitster" and he disclosed this information, despite the stockinette stich logo on his chest. Sooner and I suggested he might flirt with the lady knitsters and get them to knit things for him.
Sooner, again, bought no yarn and simply read knitting books while I worked on my felted bag and fell in love with a couple of designs from Family Circle's Easy Afghans. A future purchase, to be sure.
He got invited to "Boyz" night at Knit New York again. We have decided that when he goes I will go in drag. And work on my ruffles.

Sooner, I am impressed by your yarn-buying restraint.
Bevin-- Ooh, undercover knitting! Looking forward to hearing about it!
- TitaniumRose said...
Sooner you simply must share your secret to resisting the urge to buy yarn. I am a hard core sufferer of YAS, or yarn acquisition syndrome, and am in *desperate* need of a way to curb my appetite for yarn. Fortunately I have not found a good high end yarn store in my area or I'd be doomed! But still, I can get into enough trouble at the chain stores.
Bevin the undercover thing does sound intriguing. I'm imagining the Mission Impossible theme song playing softly in the background. =)
