Reasons for Designation
Gunpowder was the only explosive available for military use and for blasting
in mines and quarries until the mid-19th century. Water-powered manufacturing
mills were established in England from the mid-16th century, although powder
had been prepared by hand for at least 200 years. The industry expanded until
the late 19th century when high explosives began to replace gunpowder. Its
manufacture declined dramatically after the First World War with British
production ceasing in 1976. The technology of gunpowder manufacture became
increasingly complex through time with the gradual mechanisation of what were
essentially hand-worked operations. Waterwheels were introduced in the 16th
century, and steam engines and water turbines from the 19th century. Pressing
and corning were also introduced between the 16th and 19th centuries to
improve the powders. Pressing improved the explosive power of the mill cake
and corning broke the pressing cake into different sizes and graded it with
respect to its fineness. Additional techniques were developed throughout the
17th, 18th and 19th centuries to improve the quality and consistency of the
finished product, and this in turn resulted in a variety of types of powders;
ranging from large coarse-grained blasting powders used in mines and quarries,
to fine varieties used, for example, in sporting guns.
Gunpowder manufacturing sites are a comparatively rare class of monument with
around 60 examples known nationally. Demand for gunpowder centred on the
London area (for military supply), other ports (for trade), and the main metal
mining areas. Most gunpowder production was, therefore, in Cumbria, the south
west, and the south east around the Thames estuary. The first water-powered
mills were established in south east England from the mid-16th century
onwards, and many of the major technological improvements were pioneered in
those mills. All sites of gunpowder production which retain significant
archaeological remains and technological information and survive well will
normally be identified as nationally important.
The gunpowder works at Kennall Vale provide one of very few surviving examples of a large 19th century gunpowder manufacturing complex to retain its overall integrity of layout with an unusually complete range of reasonably well-preserved features. The surviving remains at this gunpowder works include a number of especially unusual and rare components, most notably the exceptionally well-preserved sequence of early mid-19th century incorporating mills, the early stove house, the corning mills with their underground wheel pits, the 1844 glazing house, and the unusually complex and intact leat system. The packing house is a unique survival amongst extant remains of gunpowder works nationally. Within its regional context, this was one of the earliest gunpowder works to be established in Cornwall, only two years after the first such factory had started production in the county in 1809. The physical remains of the Kennall Vale gunpowder works are complemented by a wealth of historical sources documenting the development of the company that operated them. These sources show clearly the close integration of the works' fortunes with the regional economy and with technological advances in explosives.
The monument includes a 19th century gunpowder works surviving beside the
River Kennall at Kennall Vale, near Ponsanooth in west Cornwall. The monument
also includes features from 20th century quarrying in the south west of the
gunpowder works, and part of two leats extending southwest - northeast across
the scheduling.
The gunpowder works, operated by the Kennall Gunpowder Company, was licenced
in 1811-12 to manufacture explosives for mining and quarrying. The company
reached its peak of production in about 1875, supplying most west Cornish
mines then operating, and having an extensive trade further afield. However,
decline rapidly followed with the collapse of the Cornish mining industries
and the replacement of gunpowder with nitro-glycerine based high explosives.
By 1898, the bulk of the company's business was as agents for high explosives
made elsewhere. Production finally ceased at Kennall Vale in about 1910.
The earliest phase occupied the downstream half of this scheduling and was
mainly focussed north of the river. A map of 1840 shows the Manager's House
by the works' entrance on the north east. Processing sites were spaced along
the valley behind the Manager's House. Surviving on the north bank of the
river from the early phase are traces of the glazing mill and extensive
remains of six incorporating mills, where mixed ingredients were ground to a
uniform powder by limestone edge-runners powered by water wheel. The
incorporating mills, which are Listed Buildings Grade II, are arranged as
three pairs, one of which had been added to an original two pairs by 1824.
Each pair had an overshot water wheel in a central wheel pit; their lower
chamber housed the wheel gearing; the upper housed the edge-runners on a stone
bed. The upstream two pairs of these mills survive almost to full height,
though lacking water wheels and internal machinery, floors and board roofing.
The downstream pair retain their wheel pit but were otherwise slighted in 1844
when the present masonry bridge, a Listed Building Grade II, was built over
the river to give access to the work's extension. The slighted mills were
replaced by another pair which survive well on an adjacent site upstream.
Water fed the upstream mill pairs from a leat taken off the river at a weir;
their tail-races formed a leat to supply the downstream pairs and their
replacements. The leats still flow, supported by masonry-revetted embankments,
as is a track giving access along the rear of the mills. Higher up the valley
side is a change house with fireplaces, where workers changed into works
clothing. On a rock-cut ledge above the Manager's House is the stove house, a
Listed Building Grade II, where powder was dried over steam-heated flues; its
drying chamber adjoins the intact boiler house and chimney.
Other early buildings were replaced in the work's later phases or were removed
by modern garden landscaping. South of the river are remains of the early
corning house, where powder was reduced in size and graded; unusually its
water wheel occupied a rock-cut chamber under the mill floor; nearby is a
small store.
In 1843-4 the gunpowder works expanded upstream, adding a new works in Roches
Wood which more than doubled its capacity. This included another four pairs
of incorporating mills, spaced along the north side of the river. These are
similar to the earlier pairs, with slight modifications, and they survive
similarly intact: the upstream pair has remains of its water wheel, supplied
by F W Dingey of Truro Foundry, though gearing within the mill derives from
20th century reuse. An elaborate system of revetted leats, still flowing,
operated along two levels to supply these mills; an even higher leat powered a
glazing house surviving beside the work's south west boundary blast wall. Many
processing sites in the extended area survive south of the river. Near the
south west blast wall is another corning house with its wheel-pit below the
floor, and a small store close to the north. To its north east are walls of a
combined dusting house, where dust was removed from the powder, and magazine
for powder storage. Another dusting house and separate magazine survive higher
up the slope. Beyond these are traces of the breaking-down house where the
pressed-powder cake was fragmented with mallets; an edge-runner stone now lies
on its floor. Further north east, the early 20th century granite quarry
extends over 80m of the upper slope; its deep flooded cut and adjacent loading
bay destroyed some of the gunpowder works' later buildings, and quarry dumps
overlie others. Several quarry related structures are spaced along 80m of the
track on the valley's upper southern flank; of concrete block construction,
they include a blacksmith's shop, a toilet block, a building built over a
gunpowder works magazine, and an engine bed. Further north east along the
track is a packing house built in about 1879; this single-roomed building
survives to full height: until a fire in the 1990s it retained its roof and
internal racking. A small built toilet further along the track had been added
by 1906.
The 1843-4 expansion also occasioned modification and additions which still
survive, in the early core of the gunpowder works, including the masonry
bridge already noted. South east of the bridge, a blast wall enclosed an area
north of the river containing the reinforced base of the compressed
cartridge house which produced pellets for blasting; beside it is walling of a
pump house and to the west is another small built toilet.
Between this enclosed area and the Manager's House, late 19th century records
show various buildings. Still surviving are the cooperage and the west half
of the foreman's office and store. The northern stub of the works' formal
entrance wall with a (blocked) pedestrian doorway projects from the foreman's
office into the track from the Manager's House. A less elaborate doorway
pierces a wall on the other side of the river. Walls of a magazine survive by
the track up to the early stove house, covered to each side by massive blast
walls descending the slope. Further west is a mixing house where the raw
materials were first combined. Small magazines survive west of the change
house and south of the river opposite the pump house. Various lengths of
surviving blast wall were strategically placed to contain risks from the more
dangerous sites in the works and a complex infrastructure of tracks and leats
served the many processing sites. The leats survive extensively intact and
flowing to the north of the river; south of the river, they were mostly fed
by water transferred from the north by aqueducts whose cross-river launders
do not survive; this southern system is now dry but much is traceable except
where disturbed by later quarry activity. Besides the works' leats, two
others pre-date 1840 and flow across the area of the scheduling: one follows
the south of the valley, leaving the scheduling for Ponsanooth where it
served the gunpowder works' charcoal mill along with corn and paper mills. The
other is taken off near the Manager's House and flows underground before
emerging as an open leat beside a quarried scarp next to the Manager's House;
it then leaves the area of the scheduling to feed a reservoir for the works'
former saltpetre refinery and runs on to Ponsanooth where it powered tape
The small fenced enclosure and the fence itself at the eastern end of the
scheduling, which contains a dwelling and garage, is not included in the
scheduling. However, the entrance to the gunpowder works and the leat to the
north of the fenced enclosure are included.
A number of features are excluded from the scheduling. These are: all modern
fences, gates and fittings, all garden furniture, the greenhouse and swimming
pool together with their associated modern bases, surrounds and fittings, all
modern metalled or paved surfaces, all modern footbridges, the cooperage, the
roof and modern internal fittings of the western half of the foreman's office
and store, the modern building on the site of the eastern half of the
foreman's office and store, the modern sluice gates, and all modern signs,
notices and their posts; the ground beneath all these features is, however,
The Manager's House in the north east corner of the scheduling is totally
excluded from the scheduling.

Business & Real Estate
CalPERS deal with San Bernardino bad for bondholders, credit firm says
Wall Street has examined the bankrupt city of San Bernardino's agreement to pay its CalPERS pension bills in full, and it isn't happy.
Calling the agreement a "credit negative," Moody's Investors Service said Monday that the CalPERS deal means San Bernardino probably will pay bondholders less than 100 cents on the dollar. San Bernardino, which filed for bankruptcy two years ago, is expected to file a reorganization plan next spring.
The agreement to keep paying CalPERS in full, disclosed last week, is seen as a reaffirmation that governments in California will keep their pension promises, even in bankruptcy.
San Bernadino is following the lead of Stockton, another bankrupt city. A judge gave Stockton permission to slash its pension contributions, but the city is paying CalPERS everything it's owed while making less-than-full payments to bondholders. Reducing payments to CalPERS would have resulted in a major reduction in city employees' retirement benefits.
Noting that pension costs are climbing, Moody's said San Bernardino and Stockton's finances will become weaker because of their decisions not to tackle their payments to the California Public Employees' Retirement System. Similar financial pressure will fall on Vallejo, which went through banruptcy in 2008 without reducing its pension contributions, Moody's said.

Life has been rushing forward non-stop and it is incredible to think we have been in the UK for nearly 2 months. This past weekend was the first weekend we just spent at home, and it is finally starting to feel like home.
I love our cute little flat (emphasis on the little part) and slowly we are making it our own with a few bits and bobs. I love our neighbourhood, quiet, but not too quiet with green spaces and beautiful Victorian buildings. I love our views, the sunsets from the kitchen window and definitely having the bathroom with the best view. I'm incredibly happy here, but getting here, packing up everything and moving to the UK, that was the part that made me very unhappy.
I wanted to share the experience of packing up and moving with you on the blog since the start, but honestly, I think I needed to first feel at home here before I could go back to the month and weeks leading up to this move…
There were times leading up to this move that I asked myself what the hell I was doing. I'd left the UK angry and bitter three years ago. I wanted nothing more than to go home, not suffer and be in pain anymore. Now, I was packing up everything to come back. I knew it was different this time, but that didn't make it easier.
The Process
Over the last 2 years living in Johannesburg we'd started to make it a home. We had furniture, we had everything you could think of for our kitchen, we had little ornaments I was sentimental about (mostly bunnies of course) and I had my books. I knew moving to a different country ment not being able to take any of these.
I'd put off the packing until the last possible minute, but you also have to be realistic and not start too late. Thinking back every time I've gone through a big move, the best possible way to deal with it has been to just get it done. Like ripping off a plaster, close your eyes and pull. It'll sting so much, but the sooner it's done, the sooner the healing can start.
Getting Rid of Things
If there's one thing a big move like this is incredibly good for, it's to let you declutter.
You'd think living in a small space would mean less clutter, but the longer you stay in a place, the more you accumulate. We had a house and a storage unit and the moment we started going through things we realised how unnecessary some of the things were we were keeping.
The biggest shocker for me was the things we kept because we "might use it one day" and two years later we still hadn't. And on top of that, you then realise that you bought the exact same thing just the other day because you couldn't find the one you kept (and obviously put away in a very obvious place). It's frustrating when you realise how much we consume and waste. We ended up with a huge black bag filled to the brim with just plastic containers, most of which didn't even have lids! Not even to start on stationary.
All of those needed to go.
Clothes, clothes and more clothes… Out!
As a girl, I've always loved clothes and I will admit I was very spoiled in my teenage years with a beautiful, huge, walk-incloset. The bigger your space, the more you have to fill. Over the last few years I had to scale down quite a lot, but I would cheat as well. Depending on the season I would leave some clothes at my parents' house and only get it when the new season reared its head.
I was only fooling myself.
Moving to the UK I knew I wouldn't be able to do that anymore. I had to take clothes for every season because we were going to be here for every season and I couldn't quickly go home to pick up something else to wear.
I was brutal, and it was painful, but it was also very empowering. I made a conscious decision to create a semi-uniform for myself, only taking clothes that I could wear both to work and in a casual setting. When you get down to it, it's actually not that hard, you just have to get rid of all the frills, all the over exaggerated clothes with limited wear opportunities. Your workwear then becomes less pretentious and your casual wear becomes a bit more classic.
I also knew I had to throw out those pants and shirts I loved but that were now too small. My body had changed, and I wasn't going to try to change it just to fit into those clothes again. Why live such a limiting life just for clothes.
So I had a good old Boot Sale at work. Yes, I literally threw all the clothes I needed to throw out into my boot, sent out an email at work and waited for the girls to come.
In the end, it made my heart so full to se
e the excitement on the girls and ladies I worked with faces as they found items they liked. It was another experience that gave me so much strength and faith in this move seeing how pieces that had brought me so much joy, would now be bringing joy to others.
I also made a good couple of bucks for my mini-mommy-and-me holiday before the big move.
Packing Up the House
Packing up our house was especially traumatic for me. They say moving is one of the biggest changes a person can go through, and this was one of the biggest moves one can undertake.
I dreaded it, and I hated every second. I thought back to when I'd packed up my room before going to Oxford and the uncertainty I'd felt. This time around I tried to not think of the future and rather just focus on the task at hand. It helped.
Some of our bigger items we decided to sell, which also ment a bit of extra cash, but because we were moving with my husband's company we were lucky enough to get a storage unit for the things we wanted to keep. This was very comforting, knowing that after the 18 months, no matter what we decide, we will still have most of our things.
The really scary part of this however was the team of people who came into our house on a Thursday morning and wrapped every black box we'd packed, ever cushion, every appliance, in brown cardboard, sealed it up, gave it a random number and carried it out of our house. Writing this now I feel the same sense of vertigo I felt on the day, a sense of helplessness as your whole world is packed up before your eyes and carried away to a place you've never been. Of course, they are contractually bound to keep our things safe, but the 101 items carried out of our home were gone within a few hours.
We were left with a very empty, hollow home and only realised later that in their haste to get the job done they'd taken things we'd set aside to go to my parents or James's parents. It was very frustrating. It was scary and when everything was gone I felt very empty and slowly the realisation was creeping in that we were really leaving.
Packing the Final Bags
We ended up coming to the UK with a total of 5 big roller bags, 3 cabin sized roller bags, 2 laptop bags, and 2 backpacks.
Our lives had to fit in those, everything for the next 18 months. Do you know how little you can pack in a bag when you think of things and not just clothes (and shoes as well of course).
Maybe we left the final bag packing till too late, but we were living out of bags for 2 weeks before leaving at my parents' house and while being on holiday and I think it was a type of coping mechanism. So, we only started the day before we left.
It was the most tiring Sunday I'd had in my life so far.
I knew the day would be tough, so I started off taking some anxiety medication (herbal ones) and then I had some more after my third cry of the day. I also had about 5 cups of camomile tea throughout the day. At some point I started balling my eyes out when it finally hit me (yes I know, how many months to prepare and it hits the day before we leave) that we were leaving EVERYTHING, all our people, our culture, our home, to move to a place we didn't know for 18 months! It wasn't just for a holiday and it wasn't just for a little bit, it was for a year and a half, we hadn't even been married for that long!
I'm lucky to have an incredible mom who's not only a wizard at packing bags (no literally she's like the fairy godmother of packing bags) but is also extremely patient, understanding and gives amazing hugs. When I would go into my "this will never get done" or "this will never fit, I'll just leave everything" moods, she'd jump in and take over until I could see that it was possible and that I could do this.
I don't know how I would have made that last day without my mom and it'll always be a very special memory I hold dear between the two of us.
I ended up bringing half a bag of things. These were things that were special to me. Things that I needed to feel safe in a new space, that would help me make our new country a home. I'm so grateful I did bring these things, despite them being literally a handful of the things I had before. My bunny pen holder cup, my little set of Shakespeare books and a couple of books. Small things that have made the world's difference.
Starting Over
The most difficult thing was that we had already started to settle down in Johannesburg and then we decided to uproot ourselves so extremely. It's been very difficult, but it's also been an incredible journey.
Starting over with no things, and only your person, it's a different experience, and you realise how unimportant all the things are that we tend to think define us (they don't). All that really matters is the person or persons you share the journey with, the things just add a little sparkle.
This move has brought us even closer, has made us so strong, and has made us see that life is about so much more than the comfort zones we force ourselves into. We were ment to go out there and be the ships on the ocean, brave the storm, and see the beautiful sunrise that no one else has seen before.
Life is about more than jobs, or having a house, or being a "Top 30 Under 30". It's about the adventures, it's about loving the journey, loving what you do and doing it well, and it's about the small victories, the small impacts, and the small memories. This move, despite all the challenges and pain leading up to it, is the best adventure we could have ever gone on together.

I noticed that my fireplace grates are getting a bit worn, from the heat of the fires we've been building. Some areas of our country are much colder than ours and I'm sure the fireplaces get more use. It's always good to keep your home furnishings in top shape for the coming seasons.
Cold weather leaves little time to stock up and revamp certain units that will be needed for comfort and support. The good thing about online websites with stores, is you can shop from your home and have everything shipped in no time at all.
You might think about shopping for your fireplace accessories and needs at the Fireplace Grates at Northline Express link in this post. I visited the website and found many different items which can be purchased to enhance or replace your standard fireplace. The grates are listed in different sizes and naturally have prices equal to the quality and sizes. Give this online store a look and I'm sure you will be amazed at the designs they offer.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is my favorite Legend of Zelda game. The central concept of the game is that you have three days to save the world before the moon crashes into it, killing everyone. Luckily, you can rewind time, so while you're stuck within a three day time-frame, you can re-do it as many times as you wish, each time completing different tasks, exploring different dungeons, defeating different bosses, and meeting new people. This combination allows for a game world that really makes me feel important, much more so than in any other game that I've played.
In Majora's Mask, if you don't do something, the game keeps going. In most video games, even in other Legend of Zelda games, the world waits for you. This is mostly necessary. After all, it wouldn't be fun to defeat Bowser and learn that the princess died because you spent too much time riding koopa shells. Players wouldn't enjoy missing out on large parts of the game experience because they took their time or decided to explore. But because you can rewind time in Majora's Mask, there's no such danger. If you miss saving the milk delivery on your 5th run, there's always #6! So while in other games, you can sit around, and the world never becomes doomed despite your inaction, in Majora's Mask, if you don't act, the world will end.
Interestingly enough, by creating a world that happens with or without you, MM makes me feel far more central to the story. You know what happens if you're not around to rescue villagers: old women get mugged, young girls get abducted, couples stay estranged. You can't just ignore them for fifty hours, defeat the final boss, and then come back and decide to find them that health potion they've been urgently needing. You have to be there, ready to help, or they suffer. If you're not around, no one else is, either.
Xenonauts does a good job of replicating the feel, though, I'm finding. You can see incidents happening on the world map, like alien abductions or bombing raids, even if you can't do anything about it because you have no jets within range. Local forces even act independently, bringing down alien spacecraft on their own, at times. It helps make the world feel larger and more real. In XCOM: Enemy Unknown, by contrast, nothing happens that you're not a part of. There are abductions you can't react to, but only because other abductions are happening at the same time. From day one, you can reach anywhere on the planet. No one else will even attempt to stop the aliens. The world still happens without you, but not in a very dynamic way.
I wish that more games could have that sense of anti-solipsism, that the world doesn't exist solely for you and your benefit. I definitely understand why they don't, but it always leaves things feeling shallow when it's so obvious that you're the only actor in the world, and everyone else only reacts.

OK, so you've spotted we now have three signature workouts: SHOCK, STRENGTH + POWER. All our workouts are guaranteed to get your heart rate up + endorphins pumping, but what sets them apart? Read this blog post to find out more about each workout + how best to structure your training between them.
SHOCK is designed to develop your cardiovascular fitness - in other words, to work your heart + help you catch your breath faster when exercising. Let us explain.
Cardiovascular fitness is all about the efficiency of your heart as a muscle. Just like any other muscle, the heart can be trained + made more efficient. When you improve your cardiovascular fitness, you can reduce blood pressure + increase your exercise tolerance (so you can train harder for longer).
High intensity cardio exercise burns lots of calories + will improve your fitness levels fast. If you come regularly you'll notice a difference in a few weeks; you'll be able to train harder for longer + better regulate your breathing during workouts. Then, try running up the escalators in the tube ... Breezy.
STRENGTH is designed to train your muscles in a controlled way using three methods: muscular endurance, hypertrophy + strength training. Hold up - let us explain.
- Muscular endurance is the stamina of your muscles - basically, how long they can perform a certain movement or contraction for without buckling. Developing muscular endurance is key to reducing the aches + pains after workouts (known as DOMS - delayed onset muscle soreness) + be able to train for longer. If you often get tired halfway through a set of exercises, you know it's time to work on your muscular endurance.
- Hypertrophy means an increase in muscle size. Whilst aspiring bodybuilders should train elsewhere, we all appreciate a bit more muscle tone + shape when we look in the mirror.
- Strength training targets the actual power of the muscles to perform certain movements.
STRENGTH uses a combination of all three to improve the overall strength of our bodies.
POWER is designed to train your strength + speed in tandem so you can perform explosive movements. These are exercises that require quick acceleration, movement + bursts of explosive, maximum effort.
Expect to train like an athlete. Plyometric training, or "jump" training requires muscles to exert the maximum effort very quickly. (For example, to get as high as possible when the entire jump may take less than a second - now we're talking power).
You'll also train for overall speed + agility so no muscle is left untouched. As well as training your muscles to contract faster, you'll also get your heart rate up + create an oxygen deficit - so body fat gets melted too.
If you want to get fitter fast + change your body composition (the ratio of muscle to fat in your body), book SHOCK + STRENGTH workouts. Do at least one SHOCK + one STRENGTH workout per week to notice change.
If you play sport or are training for something like a Tough Mudder, pair one SHOCK + one POWER workout each week. For good results, try to get to more than one a week of each.
If you want to run faster + jump higher, pair STRENGTH + POWER workouts. The more you train, the faster you'll improve.
Of course, switching up your training to keep your body guessing is always a good approach. Do a combination of all three workouts to shed body fat, improve fitness, gain strength + be more powerful. We'll see you there.

Mounting Evidence of Obamacare's Unintended Consequences
This episode of The Motley Fool's Market Checkup drills down on the hottest headlines and biggest market movers in the health-care sector.
In this video, health-care analysts David Williamson and Max Macaluso discuss one of the potential unintended consequences of Obamacare: the changing dynamics behind employer-sponsored health-care coverage.
Investors should watch any retailers or companies with large retiree benefits that can be changed. Health-cost inflation has been a big headwind, not just to government spending, but also to business spending. If management can unload at least part of that expense without too much pushback, it will.
Obamacare and you

Subscribe To This Rotten Week: Predicting Peppermint And The Nun Reviews Updates
Now that we've hit Labor Day weekend, the summer season is coming to a close. It's the last gasp of beaches, barbecues, and, classically, big tentpole movies. But the end of the season just means that we have to start getting ready for the fall, and on Friday things kick off with Jennifer Garner getting revenge, and a woman of the cloth getting all creepy. Get ready for Peppermint and The Nun.
Just remember, I'm not reviewing these movies, but rather predicting where they'll end up on the Tomatometer. Let's take a look at This Rotten Week has to offer.
Rotten Watch Prediction
You can give me a lead with a "very particular set of skills" any day, and twice on Sunday. Put a little chip on their shoulder and a criminal organization that needs to be mowed through violently, and you've got a movie I'll sit down and watch. In Peppermint we have Jennifer Garner, whose family is gunned down by members of a drug cartel. She goes into hiding and trains herself to be a killing machine all for the opportunity to waste the baddies when she resurfaces five years later.
If it has something of a familiar ring it's because director Pierre Morel also helmed Taken (53%) and other similarly styled action flicks like From Paris With Love (37%) and Gunman (17%). The critical returns diminished with each movie, though I think there's some reason to expect a bounce back with his latest. Jennifer Garner looks the part of an ass-kicker in Peppermint, and the action appears tight. I don't think it completely wows anyone, but for sure will be watchable.
Rotten Watch Prediction
Man, the poster for The Nun is so off-putting taht it wasn't all that easy for me to fire up the trailer - which, yes, did creep the hell out of me. It's got all the makings of a fright-fest, with a haunted monastery inhabited by one seriously scary demon. Two folks from the Vatican are sent to investigate the suicide of a nun, and probably could have done themselves a favor by choosing to travel in the exact opposite direction of the incident.
The Nun is the latest part of the growing Conjuring Universe, which includes:
The Conjuring (86%)
That's three out of four flicks with very positive reviews, and I think we see another win in The Nun. The tone is so damn dark and scary, and the franchise has a solid track record of critical success, so I think we can make some basic assumptions about how it will do with critics. I suspect they come out on the positive side of things.
It was a very solid week for the Rotten Watch last time around, with one movie almost dead on, and the other missing the win zone by only one point. First off, Kin (Predicted: 35% Actual: 34%) nearly hit the bullseye, and it was fairly easy to tell this would miss with critics. The trailer didn't make a whole lot of sense, there didn't appear to be any real stakes, and the story seemed thin at best. It couldn't overcome a strong cast to make any real waves with critics who came away completely underwhelmed.
Meanwhile, Operation Finale (Predicted: 51% Actual: 62%) crept up just enough over the course of the week to put it just out of range. I'm going to still call this a win and imagine that another negative review will come in the short term. Critics generally liked the film, but even though the story itself is fascinating, Oscar Isaac and company didn't knock it all the way out of the park. Those who knocked it said the pacing was off and it never really fully gets going in terms of intrigue. It didn't perform poorly, but considering the subject matter, I could see how some would call it a disappointment.
Next time around we've got The Predator, A Simple Favor, _Unbroken: Path to Redemption _and _White Boy Rick_. It's gonna be a Rotten Week!


text: A student of Gordon Mumma, William Brooks and David Rosenboom, Chicagoan Chris Brown is an active electronic composer and improviser, and an important figure in installations and computer music networking. This particular project, released on Al Margolis' Pogus imprint, one of the most uncompromising new music labels, reflects all the basic aspects of his work. Taking sounds from several locations (Bali, Philippines, Cuba, Holland, Hawaii and several American cities) recorded through binaural microphones attached to his sunglasses to obtain a spatialization more or less impossible to reproduce in a studio, Brown organized his field recordings on a system of four laptops interacting with live musicians, including Wadada Leo Smith, William Winant and David Gibson. The laptop network reproduces these recordings in different ways according to the performance of the "acoustic" musicians, the process splintering the music into a series of interchangeable cells, a "free-regulation-far-from-chaos" kind of result that elicits dense conversation and textural architecture. It's what could really be called "world music", in which Balinese processions, Cuban dance rhythms and the chatter of Filipino markets mix with seabirds and instruments in a cavalcade of connections and clashes that keeps notching up our attention span throughout.

Blackedout: Vessel
Vibes on 10. Blackedout's newest release is somewhat of an anomaly. He strips back the syncopated, over electrocized beats that we're so used to hearing in modern electronic music, and instead gives us a few simple elements and a slowly quavering sonic landscape. Downplayed guitars, verb'd out synthesis, and a perfect touch of hip-hop drums. You're gonna wanna give this a listen. Plus, we hear there's an EP in the works as well. Keep your ears open.

The Canadian Anti-spam law known as CASL came into effect on 1 July 2014. It is regulated by the Canadian Radio and Television Commission (CRTC).
CASL Section 6 requires express or implied consent for electronic messages to be sent. Implied consent has to be in the context of an existing business relationship. CASL applies to all messages sent to or received in Canada no matter where they originate. A single message can cause a violation; there is no de minimis exception.
Fines for breaches of the regulations for organisations can be up to $CA 10m per violation with personal liability for directors possible.
The regulations cover B2C and B2B. The definition of "person" includes individuals and companies so it is likely that even messages to info@ addresses would be covered.

Blogging Threatens The Established Order Of Things
The idea seems like a no-brainer now. Someone decided to make "weblogs" so that people without technical computer knowledge could become prolific content developers with easy to use tools. Of course, there are billions of more people that have no technical ability as opposed to those that do. For this reason, blogging went on to become more popular than anyone might have imagined initially. When bloggers reached a critical mass, they suddenly became the celebrities of the internet arena, gaining interviews with all the best traditional media sources and blossoming into multi-media superstars.
So now that blogs are starmakers, how can the average person break into this competitive arena and be expected to succeed? The main way appears to be persistence. The type of person who gives up easily won't stand a chance. You need to be able to handle rejection and keep on plodding along, despite obstacles you may encounter. Many of the Technorati Top 100 Bloggers have been blogging for many years, and started with small or non-existent readerships, just like you. But they managed to post consistently, and they someone managed to keep the attention of their readers for many years. If you remember your readers, and always consider them first, you stand a far greater chance of general acceptance than if profit serves as your sole motivation.
So what type of characteristics will bode well for a career or sideline business in blogging? Devotion to your subject is undoubtedly a great factor. People who are genuinely engaged in a subject are almost always likely to write better material than "hired guns" who are paid by the word. If you have a deep connection with a subject, you're more likely to research it in detail, and always try to be respectful of its' representation. With some sort of passion you are motivated to get up every morning and put some of yourself into your work. This quality will shine through and your weblog will blossom rapidly.
Use our 100% free tool to easily insert dynamically updated RSS, RDF and ATOM feeds into any web page, blog or content management system
RSS Feeds are currently helping bloggers expand into even more markets. Word of the "New Media" is on everyone's lips. RSS allows millions of users to quickly sort the type of news they're interested in, so the market is well focused and niche. This makes blogs a greater value to the traditional media companies who are attempting to make their way in cyberspace. Traditional media companies are hoping to grab some of the buzz they keep hearing so much about.
If you're already blogging and having success, then 2006 just might be the year you hit it big. But be prepared to cash in fast if you achieve any real popularity, because no one knows just how long your ride will last. Today's cyber-hero can be forgotten within minutes, due to speed of the Internet. Every day you need to come up with exciting new ideas that can be translated into excellent pieces for your weblog . You also need to promote yourself in an increasingly complex marketplace. But these few disadvantages aside, now is the best time ever to have your voice heard by a universe of millions. Happy blogging and may nothing but smooth sailing and success be visited upon you.

Announcing the Complete, NEW 8 CD "Cash-Like-Clockwork System"
Newly Revised for the Year 2006
Hey, please visit the Internet Marketing web sites:
Recently Added Internet Related Articles:
Blogging Market Share - I am going to bet that you are not one of the richest people in the world. As a matter of fact, you are probably an average guy or gal who works 40+ hours a week (making money for someone else) and when all the bills are paid, you have very little left to show for it. How do I know this? This describes just about everyone who starts trying to make money online.
Targeted Content - According to SearchEngineWatch.com, a recent survey of businesses using the Internet as a primary marketing tool reported that only 11% said SEO gave a lower return on investment than search advertising. More importantly, 35% said that SEO was more valuable in terms of return on investment than paid advertisement.
"Blog Hosting Service - There could be many reasons why a blogger think of blogging for money. Maybe for the purpose of compensating hosting and domain registrar cost, passive income, or blogging as a full time job. When it comes to the topic, ""make money blogging"", it doesn't matter what is your purpose. Just apply the methods or programs that make money with your blog.
Valuable Content - So I simply contacted the owner of this particular software program, told him that I was interested in including information about his product in the e-book I had created. He knew it was a win/win situation and gladly agreed to answer a couple of questions regarding how his software worked and what benefit it could bring to the reader.
Inbound Links - Acquiring inbound links is an ongoing job. If you haven't worked on this aspect of SEO recently, some newer sites are probably good candidates for a link exchange or one-way links to your site. Start by looking at who's linking to your competitors' sites, and look for other sites with related but not competing content.
Content Article - Article directories have taken the internet by storm. That is a good thing, as it allows authors to distribute their content and allows publishers to grab content for their web site, but unfortunately, many article directories are offering a huge disservice to authors and publishers due to poorly designed directories.
Content Based Web Site - A fast and easy way to accomplish all of these goals is by using content syndication. Content syndication is the simple process of making a block of content (which usually changes on a regular basis) available for other webmasters to use on their web sites.
Start Blogging - I recently (like two months ago) bought a copy of Rob Benwell's Blogging to the bank. I found it quite interesting that this dude isn't an internet marketing guru, but managed to make some really decent money using blogs. He's just a regular guy (like me), and his decision to change his financial situation was to come up with something creative using weblogs.
Content Problem - As a retired Software Engineer(big word for under paid corporation slave). I got tired of setting around to house telling my cat to stop doing the things cats do. I started a side business repairing computers. But I messed the call of coding and creating things... that's what I like best about design be it software or graphics.

Fled (1996)
1 deliberate mistake
Directed by: Kevin Hooks
Starring: Laurence Fishburne, Robert John Burke, Stephen Baldwin, Will Patton
Deliberate mistake: Practically all movies incorporate the name of the movie within the dialog. However, they must remember the English language and tense agreement. On at least two occasions, Fishburne says "Come on Dodge, lets FLED." If they were so interested in incorporating the name within the script, they should have named the movie FLEE.
Continuity mistake: After he met the woman who helps them, Stephen Baldwin is wearing a shirt over his shoulders. In the very next cut, it is missing, but it reappears in the next cut.
Trivia: In the final scene, Steven Baldwin teases Lawrence Fishburne, referencing the infamous limousine scene with Ike and the boot in the movie "What's Love Got To Do With It?" Lawrence Fishburne also plays the character Ike in "What's Love Got To Do With It?"RareJewel

You can view as a turn from the sublime to the ridiculous, but today, a package from the UK arrived, with a bunch of Alcatrazz things that I ordered. If you don't remember these guys, they were the band Graham Bonnett formed after he left MSG (and he sang with MSG after he sang with Rainbow). It's also noted as the first major band that Yngwie Malmsteen was in (OK, so there was Steeler before Alcatrazz, but do they really count as "major"?).
Anyhow, so right now I'm listening to...well, I'm actuall done listening to No Parole For Rock 'N' Roll, easily the best record Yngwie Malmsteen ever played on. Never again did he have the songwriting talent at his disposal that was present in Alcatrazz (actually, he probably did have some talented songwriters who might have made the Rising Force records, if Yngwie's ego hadn't gotten in the way).
But anyway...I've moved onto the bonus tracks on that CD, which are identified as "instrumental demos". They basically sound like rough recordings of the songs, sans vocals, like karaoke versions or something. But have you ever heard a karaoke version of a song that had a Yngwie guitar solo in it?! I'm not entirely sure what the difference between the actual album and these instrumental demos, as No Parole... is one of those records I don't quite know like the back of my hand, apart from Island In The Sun (which I've always thought was a cool song).
Once I'm done with this one, I'll put on either Live Sentence (Alcatrazz were so big in Japan so quickly, that they were invited over to do some shows, and of course, what happens when an Anglo/American band goes to Japan? Why they make a live album of course, and in this case, said live album is Live Sentence) or Disturbing The Peace, the album they did with Yngwie's replacement, Steve Vai. Both come with a bonus DVD of live footage from teh respective lineup's visit to Japan. So I'm kinda in post-Blackmore shred guitar hog heaven right now, I guess.

Amelia Farrar, Co-Chair
The outdoors have always been and always will be a part of my life. Growing up my brother and I spent our weekends fishing Lake Martin or hiking Red Mountain in Alabama, but it wasn't until college that I began utilizing public lands to hunt. I now primarily hunt and fish on public land in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia but I'm eager to venture westward. Most weekends you can find me chasing native brook trout in the Shenandoah or the George Washington National Forest. Utilizing public land and seeing the value in keeping it public is what drove me to join Backcountry Hunters & Anglers. BHA is the center stone of all things that matter to me in the outdoors. I am fully committed to preserving our wild public lands and waters so that one day our son and future generations can access them and enjoy the same irreplaceable opportunities that we have had.
My love for the outdoors had a profound effect on my education and led me to receive a B.S. in Organismal Biology and Integrative Biology from Auburn University with a senior focus on the effects of crayfish on stream ecology. I'm currently living in a town nestled against the muddy James River in central Virginia with my husband and our son while working as a Histology Supervisor for Bon Secours St. Mary's Hospital.
Samantha Flowers, Co-Chair
Being a volunteer naturalist in the Patuxent Corridor of the Chesapeake Bay, a developing herbalist, and with my love for bowhunting, I spend much of my time in the great outdoors. Over the years my roles and hats have changed from career woman to wife and mother, but one constant that runs synonymous with my faith has remained; my love for the natural world. When I am not indulging in outdoor pursuits I am homeschooling my three adventurous children and working on our family farm. I am happily married to my own Idaho mountain man, who provides meat for the table both literally and metaphorically through his career as an active duty Naval Aviator and an avid bowhunter. While hunting and fishing has been infused into my DNA through my upbringing in rural Oklahoma, I learned the beauty of the public lands chase when I met my husband. We have since furthered our passion for food, fishing, and hunting by becoming dependent on wild game to sustain our family. When I discovered Backcountry Hunters and Anglers I immediately identified with the mission and cause behind the organization, and wanted to get my hands dirty and help any way I could. Unlike many conservation organizations, Backcountry Hunters and Anglers gives me, and all of us, a place to really put our noses to the grindstone to protect and preserve the public lands and waters that belong to us. The most satisfying feeling is given when I realize that this fight isn't just for me and my access to beautiful and healthy public lands, but instead for our children and grandchildren, so that someday they may discover the beauty of "the chase" for themselves.
Cory Dukehart, Treasurer
Born and raised in Maryland to a deer hunting family, I grew up following my father and grandfather around the 44,000 acres of Green Ridge State Forest. Since then I have continued to use Maryland's public land systems for anything with fur, feathers or fins. I am married with 2 kids (a son and a daughter) and we now reside in Westminster, MD. More recently I have been branching out to the Rockies for a do it yourself, over the counter backcountry elk and mule deer hunt, a tradition running just two years strong at this point, but god willing I don't see that tradition stopping anytime soon. My first trip to Idaho inspired me increase my annual membership with BHA to a Life Membership. Spending a week in the mountains of the Caribou-Targhee National Forest was a life changing challenge and adventure. It was during this time that I recognized just how important and potentially fragile our public lands are. I truly look forward to working with the rest of the BHA Capital Region Chapter to continue to advocate for these wild places all over the country so that my children can experience the same adventures I have.
Austin Bousman
Austin lives with his wonderful wife, Jordan, on a mountain in the Blue Ridge outside of Roanoke, Virginia. Born and raised in the area, he spent his childhood tromping through the woods of the Jefferson National Forest, mimicking his father's habits and learning to appreciate all that nature has to offer. He spent many days and nights learning the ways of the woods at his family's hunting cabin along the banks of a mountain stream, surrounded by National Forest. Following high school, he went on to play football at Marshall University before transferring to the University of Montana where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in Forest Resource Management and a "Masters" in walking out of the woods via headlamp. His passion for the outdoors exploded upon the discovery of the vast public lands of the west. Hunting, fishing, camping and wild places have consumed him for the last 15 years and is why he values Backcountry Hunters & Anglers. The thrill he seeks in hunting and fishing simply cannot be filled without public lands and he strives to pass that same opportunity on to future generations.
Afflicted by his desire to be in the wilderness, he works diligently at his career as a forester for Summit Helicopters. Austin is also a licensed real estate agent and the co-founder of his company, Wingman Outfitter. Wingman Outfitter manufactures a patented product that allows your canoe to function like a raft, a hunting partners' idea that stemmed from a need for more stability while winter canoe camping and hunting the icy rivers of Montana.
Dusty Evans
On a daily basis I reminisce about past hunting and fishing experiences or dream of my next outdoor activity while I am working as a Contracting Officer for the Department of Defense. My first memory of hunting is lumbering through knee-deep snow with my father in Green Ridge State Forest during late muzzleloader season when I was 4 years old. A majority of my hunting experience has been chasing whitetails and small game in the mountains of Western Maryland or through the dense thickets of the Eastern Shore. However, a public land backcountry elk hunt in Idaho changed my outlook on hunting forever. Although I was "unsuccessful" in a traditional sense, it opened my eyes to how privileged we are to have access to such a diverse network of public lands. I can say that I have spent almost my entire life hunting and fishing. My passion for hunting and fishing come from the connection those activities provide to the natural world and the friendships that are created through shared experience. The reason I decided to join the BHA movement is to help preserve the lands that have provided some of my most treasured experiences in life.
Josh Veverka
When the season opener of deer season is treated like a holiday—with schools and businesses shut down for the day—as it was when Josh was growing up in rural Northwestern Pennsylvania, it's no wonder that he was instilled with a passion for hunting from an early age. Political aspirations drew Josh to pursue his undergraduate degree at the American University in Washington, DC, where the hunting, camping and outdoor opportunities were a far cry from the game rich shores of Pymatuning Lake. A lack of opportunity, however, could not deter a lifelong pursuit. Moving from the only frat house at American with a deer head on the wall to the Northern Virginia suburbs did not bring immediate hunting success, but it did bring an introduction into the hunting traditions and public land opportunities of Virginia.
15 years later Josh still works in Northern Virginia as a lobbyist in the real estate industry. The call of the wild, though, could not be silenced, and with his wife and two young boys Josh moved to the Shenandoah Valley. A two-hour commute (each way) is a small price to pay to be able to call the forests, mountains and 1.6 million acres of George Washington and Jefferson National Forests—his backyard. Josh is active in the Boy Scouts of America and is a Virginia Hunter Education instructor.
Matt Reilly
A native of the rolling hills and warmwater rivers of Fluvanna County, Virginia, I grew up hunting and fishing the ground under me and to the west in the Blue Ridge Mountains—Shenandoah National Park and the George Washington National Forest, where I made the stories and learned to hear the music I translate professionally, these days. I write a weekly outdoor column in The Rural Virginian newspaper, distributed in several counties in central Virginia, and have credits in Virginia Wildlife, Eastern Fly Fishing, Fly Tyer, Blue Ridge Outdoors, Hatch Magazine, and a few others. I graduated from Emory & Henry College in 2018 and am now based on the fringes of relevancy to the capital in Abingdon, Virginia, amid masses of bountiful National Forest land, where I guide fly fishing trips under my own name for wild trout, smallmouth bass, and musky on the world-class waters of southwest Virginia.
Daniel Farrar
Hunting and fishing have always been a vital part of Daniel's life. Daniel joined the hunting community at such an early age, it would be difficult to recall his first time tagging along with his dad. Growing up in South Alabama, Daniel chased everything from squirrels to whitetail deer. Daniel learned a ton growing up hunting the way he did, but it was not until he found himself living out state without the luxury of the family farm, that he grew into the outdoorsman and public land advocate he is today. With the aid of public land, he was able to pursue his passions without skipping a beat. Today, you are most likely to find him in the backcountry chasing whitetails in the mountains of Virginia on large tracts of public land. It is here that he has become enamored with the opportunities public land provides for all. During the off season you will find him on long trout hikes with his wife and young son chasing native brook trout in the Shenandoahs. Daniel whole heartedly believes this land holds its value with the opportunity it provides for all and the wild nature it beholds. Due to his love and passion for these lands, Daniel vows to stand up and protect this amazing gift that was once fought for and conserved by the ones who came before him.
James Revercomb
I was born and raised in Roanoke, growing up enjoying all the area has to offer. Introduced to the areas rivers and trails at an early age, I spent many summer days of childhood on the Cowpasture, Jackson, and James Rivers, spurring a passion for the woods and water ever since. I studied business and environmental studies at the University of South Carolina and traveled to Wyoming during my college summers to begin my outdoor career as a whitewater guide. After graduation, I made the full time move to Wyoming to continue my guiding career, hunt and fish and enjoy the wide open spaces. From guiding snowmobile trips in Yellowstone National Park and the Wyoming backcountry, wildlife trips in Grand Teton National Park, to working as a fly fishing guide on the Snake and Green Rivers, I have a diverse outdoor background and have guided thousands of clients in many different settings. All of my guiding took place on public land and I was fortunate to be able to share our public lands with people from all walks of life. After being away from Roanoke for 8 years, my wife and I decided to make the move back to Virginia in 2014. I co-own and operate Roanoke Mountain Adventures, an outdoor outfitter and gear/clothing consignment shop. I consider myself lucky to live in the mountains of Western Virginia where there is an abundance of public land and outdoor opportunity. I have been a BHA member for 8 years and more recently became a Life Member. Outdoor conservation and education has become a passion and I look forward to helping grow the Capital Region chapter here in the Commonwealth.
Anthony Kniffin
I am an active duty Coast Guardsmen and have been since 2006. I am an engineer or Machinery Technician First Class by trade but enjoy working on vintage motorcycles and building things at the house in my spare time. I am married and have a beautiful wife and daughter. I have always been interested in the outdoors since a young age but never had many opportunities to hunt. I decided a few years ago that I would just dive right into it and with some help from a few friends they took me hunting. I have since fell in love with it and the conservation work behind it. That's why I love BHA and the principles it stands behind to protect our opportunities. I look forward to making this chapter succeed and working with members in our region.
Tom Hartland
I live in Westminster, MD, with my wife and our two daughters. I grew up in western PA and moved to MD after graduating from Penn State. Aside from my work for a national landscape service provider and my family, my life revolves around hunting and vegetable gardening. I live to hunt and spend as much time as possible in wild places. I primarily hunt for deer, turkey, bear, and small game in the mountains of western PA and MD. The protection of the remaining wild places is extremely important to me not only for my enjoyment, but for future generations. I am extremely honored and excited to work with the Capitol Region BHA members and to contribute my small part to the greater cause.

WASHINGTON (11/4/14)--Demand from first-time homebuyers reached a historical low in the housing market this year, according to the results of an annual survey published Monday.
The percentage of first-time buyers dropped five points on a year-ago basis to 33% of the total market, according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR). The share of the market segment, which many consider crucial to the housing recovery, has not fallen this low since it dropped to 30% in 1987.
NAR said that while the survey typically shows 4 out of 10 transactions involving first-time homebuyers, market conditions are unfavorable to younger consumers.
"Rising rents and repaying student loan debt makes saving for a down payment more difficult, especially for young adults who've experienced limited job prospects and flat wage growth since entering the workforce," said Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist.
Twenty-three percent of first-time buyers said that saving for a down payment was difficult, with 57% claiming that student loan payments made it harder to save--up three percentage points on a year-ago basis.
"Adding more bumps in the road is that those finally in a position to buy have had to overcome low inventory levels in their price range, competition from investors, tight credit conditions and high mortgage insurance premiums," Yun added.
Yun also said that stronger job growth should bolster the broad increases in wages needed to boost younger consumers, but warned that credit standards and mortgage insurance premiums need to fall "especially with interest rates likely rising in upcoming years." The share of fixed-rate, entry-level mortgage-borrowers with a loan backed by the Federal Housing Administration dropped to 35% in 2014 from 39% in 2013.
The survey showed that the demographics of homebuyers did not change much from last year, with married couples, single women, single men and unmarried couples respectively constituting 65%, 16%, 9% and 8% of buyers. The median age of first-time buyers, at 31 years old, also did not change.
Meanwhile, sellers have grown steadily older, with the median age at 54--up from 53 in 2013 and 46 in 2009. The market also saw sellers' median equity increase in 2014 to $30,100, up from $25,000 on an annual basis, with 17% reporting that they would have sold earlier but their homes were worth less than their mortgage--up from 13% in 2013. Reflecting the market's volatility over the past few years, sellers who had previously owned their home for between one and five years reported higher profit than those who had owned a home between six and 10 years.

Why did you decide to run for mayor?
When I came to Sudbury I was a young widow and a stay-at-home Mom with a six-year old daughter. I had no job, no education and no money. But I had plenty of determination. This city was good to me when I needed help the most. Now I want to give back to help this city grow and prosper as much as I have over the years and to ensure we remain a city of compassion, opportunity, and growth. We have an amazing future, but not on this current path. I plan to bring my tenacity, leadership skills, business acumen, compassion and work ethic to take our city into the future in a fiscally responsible way.
What innovative projects would enhance life in your community?
Vibrant 10-minute main streets in all of our communities throughout Greater Sudbury. Affordable housing for seniors, young families and professionals. Focus on the technology and innovation sector to grow our economy. Explore more use of green technology and extend our environmental leadership footprint. Access to affordable child care.
If you received a $1 million grant to use for your city any way you wanted, what would you do with it?
Purchase and introduce smaller buses with a revamped schedule to offer environmentally friendly transportation options on a more frequent basis.
What do you think are the greatest challenges your city faces?
Declining population and an increasing tax base. It is currently unsustainable with the current large projects being touted.
Other than the official ways of communicating (minutes, municipal notes), how else will you reach out to your constituents to involve them in the decision making process?
Your ROI with Patricia Mills - Respect. For me a big part of respect is listening. I will hold town hall meetings in each ward in my first year as Mayor. Openness. We will sets targets for service and post our performance on our web site and through our social media channels. Tax rates. New Jobs. Spending. Snowfall vs Snow removal. Kilometers of roads fixes. Did we improve water quality. We will publish city stats, good or bad and be available for questions from our citizens. Integrity. We will publish all information that is pertinent to council decisions and host community engagement sessions on important community investments.
What is your favourite thing to do in your city?
I love our parks - Onaping Falls, Kivi Park, Bell Park, Rotary Trail. I love love hiking and walking in all of our beautiful nature.
What do you cherish most about your community?
The people. I have met incredible people who have added so much richness to my life and I have learned so much from talented entrepreneurs, teachers, community builders, artists, students etc. We have amazing potential as a city because we have incredible people who live here.
Where can people find you?
At my website; on my social media channels: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram; or by calling me at 705-562-1140.

I suspected this would happen, I just thought I'd have a few more weeks to wrap things up at work. And home. And psych myself up for it (or wind down, or something). So this takes a bit of adjusting.
More after I process it all.
Ugh, I'm sorry. I spent a month on bedrest during my last pregnancy and it sucked. A lot. Even more so because it didn't help (of course nothing would have, so they tortured me for nothing). Hang in there.ReplyDelete
Oh, Cass! I'm so sorry to hear you're on bedrest already. I'll get going on some goodies ASAP!ReplyDelete
Got laptop and wireless internet? if not, make dh go get it now! I'm sorry you're already on bedrest. Hang in there, sweetie!ReplyDelete
Bedrest sucks. I am home most days and have a fairly flex schedule. Email me if you get bored and want to 'chat.'ReplyDelete
Is this perm bed rest or temp? I'm hoping that your bed rest can be done all at home and the only hospital visit is the one to deliver...but not for a while yet, please.ReplyDelete
I hope you are spared from the "I'd love to be on bedrest!" brigade, like it's fun or something.ReplyDelete
Oh Cass, what luck. But anything to keep everybody healthy. Let us know if you need a bedrest diversion itinerary!ReplyDelete
Maybe a book of crossword puzzles? Some sudokus? Childcare books?

When an accident occurs in which parties to the accident are injured or even killed, a civil lawsuit following the incident generally hinges on the concept of "fault." In order to win a personal injury lawsuit against someone you allege was responsible for your injuries, you must demonstrate that their negligence resulted in the accident and your subsequent injuries.
Negligence is the failure to fulfill one's duty of care to another in a careless or irresponsible manner. For example, when you drive you owe a duty of care to other drivers and pedestrians to operate your vehicle in a safe and reasonable manner. If you cause an accident because you were texting while driving, you could be considered by a court to have acted negligently.
If you win a personal injury lawsuit as a plaintiff, you will usually be able to recover damages from the defendant for costs like medical bills, lost wages, and even for your pain and suffering. However, few accidents are ever completely cut and dry. It is not always obvious who was at fault for the accident or whether each party was negligent to some degree.
Imagine our previous example where the driver was texting while driving. Perhaps they hit a pedestrian who was illegally crossing the street outside of a crosswalk. In such cases, both parties could be found to have been negligent to some degree and contributed to the accident. Known as Contributory Negligence, some states consider even 1% fault on the part of the plaintiff to be a bar from collecting any damages from the defendant in a personal injury lawsuit.
This is not the case in Oregon. Oregon is known as a Comparative Negligence state, meaning even if your own negligence contributed to the accident which resulted in your injuries, you can still file a lawsuit against the other party if they too were negligent. So, if you were in an accident and found to be 25% at fault, while the defendant was found to bear 75% of responsibility, in Oregon you could collect damages proportional to the opposing party's level of fault.
Oregon's comparative negligence law comes with a key caveat, however. Our state ascribes to what is known as "modified comparative negligence" as opposed to "pure comparative negligence." If purely enforced, the comparative negligence model would allow a party who is found to be 99% at fault for an accident to still collect that remaining 1% from the opposing party for his or her own damages. The modified method used in Oregon prevents anyone who is found 51% negligent or more for an accident or injury from collecting damages.
Thus, if you are 50% responsible or less, you can still collect damages, but your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of negligence.
Determining negligence in a personal injury case can be incredibly tricky. If you have been the victim of an accident caused by another's negligent actions, it is essential that you enlist the services of a skilled attorney to advocate and fight for your best interests. In order to protect your right to collect the damages you are rightfully entitled to, please contact the attorneys at ClarkeGriffin today!

- Description
This all-new high-performance wheel system incorporates our most cutting-edge technologies to give you a proven aero advantage on the road. We made it faster by minimizing friction, both through the air and on the ground. The NACA rim profile is 64mm deep and 26mm wide with an airfoil shape that is proven through wind-tunnel testing to produce the lowest possible drag without sacrificing its stability. That's how we addressed air friction. And to minimize friction between the tire and the road, we use our Road Tubeless system with the new Yksion Pro UST tubeless tire. Eliminating the tube greatly reduces friction inside the tire, giving you 15% better rolling efficiency. So you roll that much faster using the same amount of energy. The rims are engineered with our iTgMax carbon rim technology, and this version is purpose-built for disc brakes. It's engineered with 24 spokes front and rear for perfect brake torque distribution. The front hub is convertible between a 12mm or 15mm thru-axle, or a quick-release. The rear is 12x142 thru-axle or quick release.
The highest rolling efficiency of any tubeless road wheel system.New UST Road Tubeless improves rolling resistance about 15% at equal tire pressures.
