"My left arm was shattered, but they sewed it together again and sewed it back on for me."
They put us in a boxcar, to go over to the other coast, to go to Korea, but it was cold, cracks in the thing. The car was ready to fall apart, by the looks of it. And we lit fires up in the, in the boxcar, to keep warm.
So, we got over to the – I forget the name of the station where we caught the ferry to go over to Korea. I can't remember it. So anyway, we got over to Korea, and went through there, we got into, just past Seoul [South Korea], we stayed a couple of days in Seoul, a camp there. And then we were sent right up to the lines. And, I think it was Hill 255, no, it was [Hill] 355 the RCRs [The Royal Canadian Regiment] were on, the big one, and we were just to the right of the RCRs. And, had to dig in pretty good.
So, we never got into the big fighting part but, with the RCRs, we had gotten a lot of the shelling and stuff like that, and had to go out on the odd patrol. I was scheduled to go out on one patrol and that was one of the scariest things that I ever done. And, sitting out there, you know, a thousand yards out in front of the position and just sitting there, waiting to see if anything was going to happen.
But, on those patrols, it's getting dark and you're going down a hill into the valley, and then you've got to sit down there all night, to come back in the morning and you don't know whether there's mines out there or, or whether, you know, the Chinese were coming up, checking us out and stuff like that. But so you know, and it's pitch black, you can't see nothing hardly. So that was scary just sitting there, and the shelling going on. But we managed to make it through the, the night and come back up.
But then, we only had those - our rifles, 303s [.303-calibre Lee-Enfield bolt-action rifles], and, single shot things, so I happened to get lucky and meet an American group and I had a bottle of whiskey in my kit up in the - hidden away. So this American, he had a, a small automatic [weapon], so I traded him the bottle of whiskey for his automatic.
So, that was fine and I had that for quite a while, and then one of the other fellows in one of the other platoons, was going out on, was a sniper, out in front, and he asked if he could take my [American] carbine with him. So I loaned him my carbine, I said, "Don't forget to bring it back." He says, "I'll bring it back." So, when he did come back, they were out there for two days, and when they came back, they carried him back, and he'd got shot through the throat. And we got him up to the top of the hill and he died right there with us before we can get him down to the hospital, or anything. And, that was the end of my carbine. So I lost that. But, he was in bad shape. He was still breathing though, but, he never made it down to the bottom of the hill.
Then when the - we were supposed to be relieved the following October, we'd have been there a year, and our relief was supposed to be coming in at the end of October [1952], so it happened, I got shot on the 15th of October. And I got both arms and across my chest, left chest, above my heart there. And, so my left arm was shattered, but they sewed it together again and sewed it back on for me. And, then it went across my chest on the left side and then through the other arm on the other side and took most of the muscle out.
I remember it never even knocked me down. I had to, help myself with help, I got out of the trench and that was it.

Do remember me/
A couple weeks ago Little Man and I were cruising into town to go to RISE and jamming to our usual PAGE CXVI, in hopes that it would lull him into a deep travel slumber. Instead it was me that got lulled into a deep travel sob. One of the lullabies was Do, Lord an old hymn. Tears leaked from my eyes and stuck to my cheeks as the song words swirled throughout the car begging to be remembered.
Do you remember me?
Have I been forgotten?
Infertility has the trick of making you feel broken. Lying to you that the reason you can't get/stay pregnant is that you are broken and God does not want to fix you. You have been forgotten. I laid on the couch at 9 weeks pregnant already on bed rest with a subchorionic hemorrhage. We were not of to a good start. A group of friends gathered around and "laid hands" on me to pray for me and baby. This is awkward for me. The denomination I grew up in did not do this much. I feel silly. I doubt. I am cynical. I wonder. And in that moment I desperately searched my heart and genuinely asked God to help me overcome my disbelief, begging him to remember me.
That night I miscarried.
"O God my rock," I cry, "Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies?"
Thanks David for finding the right words. Here I am, wandering around in grief and oppressed by my damn old ovaries! Betrayed by my own body and mind, acting as my oppressors.
If there was one thing I would say to someone wandering around in similar grief:
God loves you. AS IS. Do no let infertility whisper this lie to you anymore. The answer is 100% yes.
I have been there sister, loved by God. I know the darkness and distrust that can take root. I began to not trust God. Not trust him with my prayers. I began to fear the worse. I needed to be reminded and then I stumbled across this video:

Archbishop Charles J. Chaput delivered the following speech, termed an intervention, Oct. 10 in Rome at the Synod of Bishops on the Family. Pope Francis is leading selected bishops from around the world this month to discuss pastoral issues concerning marriage and family.
The Holy Father has wisely encouraged us to be both fraternal and candid in speaking our thoughts during this synod.
Just as our thoughts shape the language we use, so too the language we use shapes our thinking and the content of our discussions. Imprecise language leads to confused thinking, and that can sometimes lead to unhappy results. I want to share with you two examples that should cause us some concern, at least in the English-speaking world.
The first example is the word inclusive. We've heard many times that the Church should be inclusive. And if by "inclusive" we mean a Church that is patient and humble, merciful and welcoming — then all of us here will agree. But it's very hard to include those who do not wish to be included, or insist on being included on their own terms. To put it another way: I can invite someone into my home, and I can make my home as warm and hospitable as possible. But the person outside my door must still choose to enter. If I rebuild my house to the blueprint of the visitor or stranger, my family will bear the cost, and my home will no longer be their home.
The lesson is simple. We need to be a welcoming Church that offers refuge to anyone honestly seeking God. But we need to remain a Church committed to the Word of God, faithful to the wisdom of the Christian tradition, and preaching the truth of Jesus Christ.
The second example is the expression unity in diversity. The Church is "catholic" or universal. We need to honor the many differences in personality and culture that exist among the faithful. But we live in a time of intense global change, confusion and unrest. Our most urgent need is unity, and our greatest danger is fragmentation. Brothers, we need to be very cautious in devolving important disciplinary and doctrinal issues to national and regional episcopal conferences — especially when pressure in that direction is accompanied by an implicit spirit of self-assertion and resistance.
Five hundred years ago, at a moment very like our own, Erasmus of Rotterdam wrote that the unity of the Church is the single most important of her attributes. We can argue about what Erasmus actually believed, and what he intended with his writing. But we can't argue about the consequences when the need for Church unity was ignored.
In the coming days of our synod, we might fruitfully remember the importance of our unity, what that unity requires, and what disunity on matters of substance implies.

Pen and Paper
Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
Hide your face from my sins
and blot out all my iniquity.
Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me." - Psalm 51:7-12 NIV
When was the last time you just sat down and wrote a prayer out to God… if you ever have?
Sometimes it's hard to find the words to say and pray… and that's when the Holy Spirit takes over and moans on our behalf. Sharing our heart and our greatest need.
Sometimes, at least for me, the pen and paper (or the keyboard and blank page), allows me to just get the words out of me… the thoughts, prayers, the fears, the sin and shame, the anger and pain, the love and joy, the mercy and grace.
Sometimes it just flows out… and the cool part is, God can read just as well as He can hear.
And as I think about those moments and times of written prayer, I think about our Bible Heroes, who often wrote down their prayers to God… as in today's passage from Psalms.
And I think about our worship songs and the old hymns. Songs that are not just songs about God, but songs, even prayers, written to God.
Take a moment and write out a prayer to God. Just take a moment and let your thoughts flow out from the pen on to the paper. Write out your thoughts, your prayers, your hopes, your concern, your joy, your praise…. Write out your request for forgiveness, for grace, for mercy. Write about His great love.
O Lord, cleanse like the days of old, forgive me, and wash me clean as snow. As David once plead, "create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore in me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me." O Lord, help me be the man, the person, the husband, the father, the leader, the follower of Jesus that you have made me to be. Be glorified in all that I do and say. O Lord, guide down the right path and help choose the right direction. Lead me, as you'd have me be lead. Use me, as you'd have me be used. Thank you, Lord for your grace and mercy. Thank for your love and forgiveness. Thank You for the cross, for the blood, for the resurrection. Thank you, O Lord, for the victory! In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.
Keep the Faith… Carpe Diem

Mona Island Light, also known as Faro de la Isla de la Mona, is a historic lighthouse located on the island of Mona, Puerto Rico, in the Mona Passage between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. It is the only lighthouse built of iron and steel in Puerto Rico. While some sources reported that the structure was designed by Gustav Eiffel, who also designed the Eiffel Tower in Paris,[3][4] recent studies have shown that the tower was designed around 1885 by Spanish engineer Rafael Ravena.[5]
It is the first of two lighthouses built by the U.S government in Puerto Rico.
It was first lit in 1900 and automated in 1973.[6] In 1976, the light was deactivated and replaced by a modern beacon. The structure has deteriorated severely since deactivation. The lighthouse is listed in "Frommer's 500 Places to See Before They Disappear"[3] and Lighthouse Digest magazine described the condition of the lighthouse as dire: "This lighthouse has to be among the most endangered in the U.S. – along with being one of the most isolated – rusting away in the tropical heat and humidity."[7]
Two sets of plans were drawn up between 1885–1886 by Spanish engineer Rafael Ravena,[5] working for the Spanish government, for a lighthouse on the eastern side of Mona Island to help mark Mona Passage, which runs between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. One set of plans called for a massive masonry structure with twenty five rooms for three keepers, families and supplies and a light with a range of 22 miles. However this was not the design that was finally used, probably due to the very porous and brittle sandstone conditions of Mona Island.[8]
The second set of plans called for an iron tower with a separate living quarters for one keeper and his family. This plan was approved in 1887, and work on the station started in the early 1890s. The lighthouse's materials were fabricated in France by Duclos & Cie. The U.S. government continued its construction after the Spanish–American War in 1898.[9]
The 1.1 miles (1.8 km) long narrow-gauge Mona Island Tramway had a gauge of 600 mm (1 ft 11 5⁄8 in). Its 231 ft long incline ran from the beach to a cave. Goods were carried through the cave, and then hauled by a stubborn donkey on a canopy-covered wagon along a 6000 ft long track to the lighthouse.[10][11]

Saffron deserves to take the credit for Akzo Nobel
We were dismayed to see your news item 'Pentagram rolls out new face of Akzo Nobel' (News, DW 12 June).
To say 'Akzo Nobel briefed Pentagram to create a "dynamic, strong but practical" update of its marque' implies that Pentagram created the updated Akzo Nobel logo, when, in fact, we did.
The relationship between Akzo Nobel and our chairman, Wally Olins, goes back 20 years. Wally led the team that created the original logo in the 1980s when he chaired Wolff Olins and, together with Saffron global creative director Eric Scott, he led the team that created the new version.
And for the record, we are not Saffron Design, we are Saffron Brand Consultants.

According to the organisers, the event aims to promote a healthy lifestyle and, therefore, this year the pageant will be hosted under the theme "Stop smoking, eat healthy food". The first Miss Plus Size pageant was hosted in Tambov, Russia, and attracted beauties from various European countries, with the second event hosted at the Franco-Namibian Cultural Centre in 2016 and won by Esther Esmie Joshua. The founder of the pageant, Dr Margaret Shivolo, also known as Margo Rusky in the modelling circles, told New Era on Saturday that they have taken a different theme for this year's pageant in order to promote a healthy lifestyle, especially for plus-sized women. "Apart from promoting a healthy lifestyle for them, we want to empower women at large for them to exercise regularly and eat healthy food," said Margo Rusky. Up to 10 plus-sized women will vie for the title on Saturday, where other entertainment activities would be on offer. Margo Rusky said the finalists would be walking in bikinis, traditional wear and evening wear. The winner of this year's event will be the ambassador for the 'Stop Smoking' campaign for the whole year. She will also participate in the Miss Plus Size International this year, and win lots of packages from Royal Africa Guesthouse, cash prizes and a four-day trip to Cape Town. Teopolina Ndjuluwa, one of the finalists says she is looking forward to the event, and expects everything to go well for her. "If I win, I will spend half of my winnings on various community projects and in my studies as well," she says. Last Saturday, the finalists created awareness on Hepatitis E . They hosted a cleaning campaign in the Katutura Central. The event on Saturday will feature a red carpet entrance from 18h00 and regular tickets are N$200 and N$500 for VIPs.

Artist Statement
My practice is driven by a love for repetitive mark-making. Multiple strands of yarn, strips of felt, torn magazine pages, or pen strokes build depth and density in each piece. Layers of material and process combine to lend the impression that there is more than what the eye sees. The overall composition relies on color and texture to interact, a material-based lexicon that allows the viewer to navigate my work.
Trained in fiber art, my drawn and collaged imagery appears tactile. This two-dimensional part of my practice mimics fiber techniques and mediums, especially in regard to weaving. Even to the trained eye, these flat works resemble a tapestry from afar, challenging the way fiber art can be perceived. Incorporating my works on paper within a larger body of fiber-based work allows me to share an interdisciplinary perspective of fiber art.
Each piece speaks to a larger understanding that we are all fundamentally human. I try to utilize universal themes that most people can connect to: referencing the sublime, world mythologies and an otherworldly sense of the human conscious and subconscious. I want to connect with others on a visceral level through the use of formal elements: movement, color, and form. I hope my work evokes a larger understanding that we are all human and we are all connected.

We recently left our last location in Idaho to head to Southern California. We had a long 16 hour drive day. We also take a bit longer than most travelers because we have our three pets with us who need frequent breaks as well as two photographers who like to frequently stop to get photographs.
We travel through Idaho, Oregon, Nevada, and all the way through the state on California to finally end up in Dana Point. Here are some images from our long but adventurous drive edited with our Fine Art Pack available on our SHOP.

By Nick Lees
January 22, 2018.
A gift that will sing forever has just been handed to the Edmonton and Area Land Trust on the conservation society's 10th birthday.
Internationally renowned wildlife biologist Lu Carbyn has donated nearly 63 hectares (155 acres), land trust executive director Pam Wight said.
"The land, the Lu Carbyn Nature Sanctuary, is undisturbed boreal forest and home to more than 95 bird species," she said. "The biodiversity of the land includes trumpeter swan, loon, great blue heron, moose, deer, coyote, bats, beaver and lynx."
The parcel is located 90 kilometres west of Edmonton, close to the Lily Lake Natural Area in Lac Ste. Anne County.
Added to several other protected lands — also with lakes, wetlands and forest — the sanctuary will add conservation value to a larger region.
"There is already a system of grassy walking trails offering relatively easy walking and scenic views," Wight said.
Her organization has conserved 880 hectares (2,170 acres) of land in its 10 years.
"The Carbyn sanctuary is a place where people can go walk and explore, which is so important to our mental and physical well-being," Wight says.
Carbyn, a U of A adjunct professor and former co-owner of the The Wildbird General Store, says his career has centred on the study of such creatures as wolves, bison and swift foxes.
"While wolves and bison are doing well, migratory birds are not," he said. "The North American downward trend, both in numbers and species, is alarming.
"Some causes are obvious, others are not. But they certainly include the loss of nesting habitat in the Northern Hemisphere, destruction of winter ranges in the south, loss of staging areas during migration, cats, window strikes, pesticides, climate change and urban sprawl."
Wight and Carbyn agree the sanctuary offers the best bird viewing opportunities within 100 kilometres of Edmonton and will undoubtedly provide enjoyment for future generations of Albertans.

Being a taken woman looks good on Paulina Gretzky!
The American-born but Canadian-by-heart socialite, who has gone mostly offline since announcing her engagement to pro golfer Dustin Johnson in August, showed her affection for her cute fiancé in a new Instagram pic on Wednesday.
Wayne Gretzky's little troublemaker rocked her new shorter 'do as she got a wet smooch from Johnson and stuck out her tongue in mock horror while her brother, Trevor Gretzky (who looks so much like his famous dad), hugged her from behind.
The jet-setting blond captioned the pic: "She had them apple bottom jeans @trevorgretzky @jeremyc0hen @djohnsonpga @jacruz33" in reference to rapper Flo-Rida's song "Low" which refers to how a woman's butt looks in tight-fitting jeans. Paulina's keeping it classy, y'all!
Now that we're entering the cooler months, will we see the head-turner wear more modest outfits? It isn't likely. The 24-year-old has a collection of bikinis that would make Paris Hilton jealous and is constantly seen showing off her beach-ready bod on her boat, at the beach and while snacking at a burger joint.
Don't ever change, Paulina!

I'm always encouraged that spring is on its way when the sap starts flowing in NH and VT! It's a sure sign that new life is stirring and the blanket of winter is being pulled away.
As I head into my second year of business ownership I am extremely grateful to the many individuals, NGO's and businesses who have supported me along the way. Ben's Sugar Shack in Temple, NH is one of those businesses.
Ben Fisk makes a variety of maple products for wholesale and retail markets. He has quite the operation and is a great role model for anyone looking to grow their business. Ben makes an amazing maple cream that is a more concentrated, whipped version of 100% maple syrup that I use in my Sweet Maple Cream gelato. I tried many ways to add that delicious maple flavor to my gelato, but the maple cream proved to work the best.
Ben and partner, Emily, and all the staff at Ben's have been great to work with. Ben gave me a good wholesale price on the maple cream and he was willing to refill my clean mason jars with the cream so i could minimize the waste associated with purchasing the product in plastic containers. I drop of clean jars, he fills them and I pick them up! It's a beautiful thing!
Last fall sometime, I finally remembered to drop off some samples of gelato with Ben and Emily as I had been promising. They LOVED the Sweet Maple Cream! In fact, they approached me to see if I was interested in private labelling my product. I wasn't really sure what that meant being so new to the food world, but they explained it and we were able to work out a deal. Now you can purchase pints of Frisky Cow's Sweet Maple Cream gelato under the Ben's Sugar Shack brand at his farm store in Temple.
I love the kind of collaboration that my partnership with Ben's Sugar Shack has become and I look forward to supporting one another in the future.
The sap is flowing; the syrup is boiling and relationships are budding between Frisky Cow Gelato and many local businesses! I'm grateful for where I live and the awesome people that are working to keep our community and economy vibrant! Happy Spring!

A security black hole at Bankstown Airport has pilots and site operators concerned, with guards clocking off each night leaving the facility "defenceless".
Amid heightened fears of global terrorism, business operators and staff at one of Australia's busiest airports have become alarmed by the absence of security guards each evening after 9pm.
Security at the Western Sydney airport – which was acquired in 2015 by First State Super and Altis Property Partners under leasehold - effectively shuts down as guards sign out, despite planes and ground staff continuing to operate 24-hours a day.
Pilot, Keith Campbell, 80, who regularly visits the airport said concerns over the lack of guards is exacerbated by the facility's "poor" security measures, which can be easily breached.
Campbell took nine.com.au to Bankstown Airport and demonstrated just how easy it was to gain access to the airstrip and potentially an aircraft by passing through one of the site's hangers without security clearance.
"You can walk right through the hangers anytime you want, I haven't got a key but getting over the fence isn't really a problem either. It's only about 1.2m tall with no barbed wire in parts so you can just jump over it," he told nine.com.au.
"Once you are through the hanger or over the fence you can just walk out onto the airstrip. It's pretty much defenceless. Anyone with some training could take a plane and fly into some building or do some serious damage if they wanted to."
John - who requested his surname not be published - operates a business at the airport and confirmed the lack of security.
"There is a gate around the airport but it is not policed at all. You could easily walk through the facility and out the other side and be airside," he said.
Bankstown Airport Duty Operations Officer, Jim Nemeth confirmed to nine.com.au that there is no on-site security at the airport after 9pm and that pilots and ground staff are required to be vigilant of potential intruders.
"Security has a physical presence in two shifts, from 5am to 1pm and from 1pm until 9pm. After 9pm because the aerodrome is in operation 24-hours a day, pilots have numbers they can call (in an emergency)," he said.
Mr Nemeth dismissed claims the airport's security infrastructure could be easily breached while guards were off duty.
"Nothing is 100 percent and if something did happen we would act immediately. We have all these defences which include barbed wire that is compliant with the grade of security required down at the airport," he said.
The duty operations officer added that coded gates and registered keys also helped to maintain security after hours.
Campbell rejected Mr Nemeth's claims, insisting the barbed wire was only installed on certain sections of the perimeter fence.
Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Darren Chester told nine.com.au that Bankstown Airport was considered low risk in terms of security due to a lack of regular commercial flights in and out of the aerodrome.
"The Office of Transport Security sets security requirements for Australian airports based on risk. Large airlines such as Qantas and Virgin don't operate flights in and out of Bankstown," he said.
"Bankstown Airport is a General Aviation airport. It does not host regular passenger transport or open charter operations."
Mr Chester said additional security in areas such as background checks for airport workers and security screenings were also not necessary under the airport's current operation status.
"Airports are responsible for implementing security arrangements on a day-to-day basis, including, but not limited to physical security measures, e.g. security patrols/guards and perimeter fencing, and ensuring that access to secure zones and areas is only undertaken by those authorised to do so e.g. access controls," he said.

News from another of our schools about how they spent World Book Day. Many thanks to Tracy!
World Book Day 2019 saw our school celebrate the 30th 'bookaversary' of the classic and wonderful 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' by Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury.
Children and Staff were encouraged to dress up as their favourite 'booky' bear or wear an outfit befitting a Bear Hunt- so our classrooms were full of intrepid explorers and Paddingtons, Poohs, your average Grizzlies and even a teacher 'Rupert' (whose heart broke a little every time a child asked 'Who is Rupert the Bear?' Ah, children today have missed out on the charm of Nutwood Forest!)
Our library had transformed into a 'Bear Hunting' zone complete with all the obstacles the mighty bear hunters face in the story.
There was grass, a river, mud, forest,snowstorm and cave all created out of junk, blankets, balloons,cushions, camo nets, duvets and our everyday library furnishings. It was made interactive by some adult 'wafting' and enthusiasm and of course,the vital ingredient of 'imagination'- which our small bear hunt participants duly switched on by tweaking their ears before we began.
In the spirit of the 'Share a Story' theme of this years World Book Day, our Bear Hunt was 'call and response' with initial quiet, uncertain voices turning into giant, excited, giggles as we progressed through our hunt -repeating with enthusiasm the familiar refrains and joining in with gusto the necessary 'Swishy Swashy, Splish Splosh, Squelch Squerch, Stumble Trip, HoooWoo, TipToe' to accompany our obstacles. The crescendo was of course our 'Bear'. By then our children were so completely absorbed in the story book world that our average 'Ted' became our frightening quarry and the 'quick' return journey home was quite exhilarating. Our library walls positively shook with the voices and laughter of thrilled little and big bear hunters as they realised they had 'Forgot to close the door!' and the smiles and twinkly eyes of the little faces peeking out of covers to announce full heartedly 'WE'RE NOT GOING ON A BEAR HUNT AGAIN!' was one of those priceless moments of working with children when you realise, just for an instant, how so very small and innocent they really are.
Over 200 KS1 children took part in a Bear Hunt that day and each hunt had something 'magic' about it - from the little girls who, dressed as Princesses, lifted skirts to avoid muddy hems in the 'Mud' to the boys who 'swam' through the wafting 'river' and exclaimed that in the 'snowstorm' they had 'Really walked on ice!' (it IS quite surprising how slippery an uncovered duvet can be!). The day positively flew by! The magic lingers a little still - with the smaller children still viewing our now ordinary Teddy with some trepidation!
Seeing teachers interact with their pupils in an imaginary world is not something the curriculum allows on a daily basis so it is lovely that World Book Day exists and that the amazing 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' could give our pupils and staff that 10 or so minutes of opportunity to make a memory of a happy school day and of course - feel the power of a really great story!

WWHO Searches for Fresh Face
WWHO, the CW station in Columbus, Ohio, is looking for a fresh young face to go with its new affiliation.
The station (known simply as "WHO") has been auditioning hopefuls to be its "host"—somewhere between a spokesmodel and a mascot. The winner will receive a $25,000 salary for a 20-hour work week that may involve recording on-air promos, appearing at station and community events (screenings, charity walks) and interviewing CW stars at network parties.
More than 100 contenders have turned out for three rounds of auditions in the past three weeks. Candidates—who must be over 18 and preferably are in The CW's target 18-34 demographic—have included college students, young moms, a hip-hop artist who penned a special WHO rap, and a young woman with a hand puppet. A few showed up decked out in The CW's signature bright green.
Station Manager Ellen Daly imagines that most are looking to break into TV while others are just "hoping for a chance to meet [One Tree Hill's] Chad Michael Murray, [Supernatural's] Jared Padalecki or the cast of Gilmore Girls."
In the coming weeks, WHO executives will whittle the field down to 10 finalists whose on-air skills—ad-libbing a promo or conducting mock interviews—will be judged by a panel of yet-to-be-named local celebrities. The station expects to anoint a winner by the November sweeps.
In the end, Daly hopes the effort will attract that elusive young demo to the station. "You have to have a creative and innovative plan to reach the 18-34s," she says.
Well, you can't go wrong with a hand puppet.

SI-2K Nano is (Cinema) Man's Best Friend
Radiant Images Builds SI-2K Nano Rig for Dog POV in Upcoming Sprint CommercialSo where do you turn if you're a skilled cinematographer and you're shooting a Sprint commercial and you need a series of POV shots from a dog's perspective?
If you're Dave Perkal (Vampire Diaries, Scrubs, Chuck), you turn to Radiant Images and its exclusive pocket-sized, cinema-quality POV camera – the SI-2K Nano.
Radiant techs built a pole rig with the SI-2K Nano attached at the end to imitate the POV of a dog running through a yard, sniffing the ground, going over a sprinkler and generally getting into mischief.
The shots will be used in an upcoming Sprint commercial directed by Perkal, who also served as DP. Radiant's Nick Lantz was in Kansas City one day last week working with Perkal on the dog POV and other shots using the SI-2K Nano.
Available exclusively at Radiant Images (www.radiantimages.com), the palm-sized SI-2K Nano is just as powerful as the original SI-2K MINI, but is one-third the size. Encased in a sturdy outer shell with the versatility (IMS) to mount to just about anyone or anything, the Nano shoots 2K uncompressed RAW 4:4:4 cinema quality using SI sensor components with 10 stops of dynamic range.
The Nano was conceived for David Ayer's End of Watch, a highly-anticipated cop drama starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña scheduled for release in September. The filmmakers needed a camera small and versatile enough to be strapped to the chests of the two actors for POV shots that didn't compromise freedom of movement. Working closely with Ayer and DP Roman Vasyanov, engineered the camera based on the conceptual design of Babak Mansouri, the brother of Radiant co-founder Michael Mansouri.
As word spreads in the industry, demand for the Nano has continued to grow. It has been used in a variety of other feature film, TV and commercial productions in recent months, including ABC's The River and Step Up: Revolution in 3D, set for July release. The camera was worn in side-by-side 3D format on Radiant-built body mounts for dynamic dance sequence shots.
Perkal approached Radiant Images at the Cine Gear Expo. Lantz, the company's head of technical services and R & D, and other techs listened to his needs and then went to work. They concluded the most effective and efficient way to get the creative shots Perkal desired was to attach the Nano to the end of a pole and create the dog movements manually, rather than attach a camera directly to a dog.
Perkal filmed the sequences himself, walking around a yard, moving and twisting the rig in a sweeping motion with a Cinedeck monitor connected to the other end of the pole. From a distance, he looked like he could have been running a metal detector over his yard. Here's a short clip of Perkal operating the rig: http://vimeo.com/44468248.
Also, using the tiny SI-2K Nano with Plexiglass and clamps, Radiant built a rig for cell phone POV shots, giving a view of the phone looking out at the world.
"It was the perfect form factor with what they needed," Lantz said. "The SI-2K Nano certainly generated a lot of enthusiasm as it allowed Dave to get the shots he needed quickly and without delay. Any other camera would have been more cumbersome and time-consuming."
The SI-2K Nano has added to the reputation of Radiant Images as a go-to shop for DPs and camera operators in need of the latest innovations and problem solving. The Radiant team is known to stretch the boundaries of digital cinema with creative solutions – specializing in designing and building custom 2D and 3D rigs as well as modifying cameras and gear to fit any artistic vision.

If you are a home owner, you should think about investing in a good home owner's insurance policy. That said, your budget will loom over your head. With a little knowledge from the tips below, you can find the right coverage at the right price.
Many renters overlook the need for renters insurance. Although the structure of your home may be protected by your landlord's fire insurance, your personal belongings won't be. You must have a policy of your own to protect the value of your items against flood, fire or theft.
Trying to pay down your mortgage can decrease your homeowners insurance premiums too. Outright homeowners are more careful about their home, or so say insurance companies. By paying off your mortgage, your annual insurance premiums will decrease.
If you want to reduce the price of the premium you pay for home insurance, there are several things you can do. When doing repairs or remodeling your home, look into how the building materials will affect the cost of your premiums. Cheaper materials may end up costing you more in the end.
Check your policy if you have others that live with you to see if they are covered as well. While some insurance policies will cover anything and everything under the roof, yours might limit coverage solely to your belongings. You need to find out what is covered.
Security systems should be in place before you apply for insurance. This can help you save up to 5 percent on your annual premiums. Just be sure that you are connected to a central station so everything will be documented.
Work to pay off your mortgage to save on insurance premiums. This will help you save a bundle on your insurance premiums. Insurance companies assume that people who outright own their homes will take superior care of their homes than those who don't.
Lower your policy cost by getting fire and smoke detectors. This will protect your home from a fire and will also lower your insurance premiums. Installing alarms will save money on insurance premiums and will help protect your family and your home from fire.
Get all of your insurance policies from one company to save money. Many companies will allow you to bundle your polices for a reduced premium. Having home insurance and car insurance through one carrier will allow you to have a premium total discount.
When doing home renovations, look into how your decisions will affect your insurance premiums. A simple choice of concrete as a building material, for example, can lower premiums with certain insurance companies in regions throughout the country. This is because these types of materials are less prone to damage from disasters and degradation over time. For this reason, your insurance rates may be lower.
Paying off your mortgage can have a significant effect on your yearly home owner's premium. Insurance companies believe that you are less of a risk when you own your home in full.
If you want to get serious with an insurance policy for your home, use these tips. You should know what is included in different policies and what you will need.

Champagne Card (Stage Version)
The 8×11 size of the Stage Version Champagne Cards makes it possible to present this trick both in parlor and stage environment. Due to the graphics on the pictures, it is perfect to use at special events and celebration parties. The magician asks a spectator to sign a photo showing a Champagne bottle and an empty glass. The card selected by the spectator or a previously vanished silk appears on the signed photo in the glass. The signed photo can be the end by the spectators. It even can be given to a VIP spectator as a souvenir. The photos are covered with a special layer so they can be re-used over and over when using a dry erase marker. Using a whiteboard marker the spectator's signature can be cleaned with a dry paper tissue. (marker not supplied)

Coloradans often take all of the awesome views, activities, food and brews available to us for granted. So. sometimes it is hard to decide where to visit in Colorado with friends from out of town. However, with the right plan, it is the perfect opportunity to experience some new places (or re-experience old favorites), all while giving your guests a taste of what makes Colorado so RAD!
My best friend and her boyfriend came to visit us recently and since it was their first trip to Colorado, I was so psyched to show them our favorite spots. Plus getting to check out some places that have been on my list for a while was an extra bonus. After lots of deliberation, these are the top 5 places we just had to fit into their trip:
1. Take a drive through the mountains.
A trip to Rocky Mountain National Park is always a good idea at any time of year. And in the summer, driving across Trail Ridge Road is an experience that will leave your guests speechless. And – with an elevation of over 12,000 feet – maybe even breathless. Just make sure everyone stays hydrated and takes it easy when walking around, since the altitude changes quickly.
2. Rock out at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
Voted time and again as one of the top music venues in the country, catching a concert or a movie at Red Rocks will be sure to impress visitors. (Note: for out-of-towners the stairs can be a bit rough, so take it slow).
Make sure to go early and eat at the Ship Rock Grille on site. You can even bring a few drinks from the restaurant up to your seats with you. Just call ahead to check the hours on concert nights. And make a reservation in case every one else has this genius idea.
3. Spend a day in Boulder.
This quirky, unique city is a must-experience place that I personally love. Take a stroll through Chataqua Park, walk along Boulder Creek and hit up the shops on Pearl Street. There are also lots of awesome restaurants and breweries nearby – including T|ACO, Mountain Sun, Pizzeria Locale, West Flanders Brewing Company, and so many more!
If you have time, stop by Celestial Seasonings to taste all of the free tea samples. And take part in the free tour if you are craving some in-depth tea knowledge. Avery Brewing and Finkel & Garf Brewing Co. are also great options in the Boulder area if you want some alcoholic drink options.
4. Relax on the water in a mountain lake or reservoir.
In the summer, after the snow melts and the lakes are no longer frozen, the fresh mountain water is insanely refreshing. Renting a SUP board or kayak is a great, relaxing way to spend some quality time with your guests while showing off how stupid-gorgeous Colorado truly is.
Horsetooth Reservoir is a favorite spot of ours for stand up paddleboarding near Denver, but Bear Creek Lake, Boulder Reservoir and Union Reservoir are also great options.
5. Have a night out on the town in Downtown Denver.
Start the night with a drink at one of the super-trendy bars downtown. Going back in time to prohibition by walking through the bookcase at Williams & Graham will surely be an experience your guests won't be able to stop talking about, and checking out Union Station is always fun! Then get a delicious dinner at one of the many wonderful downtown options: a few of our favorites include The Source, Biker Jim's Gourmet Dogs, Illegal Pete's and The Old Spaghetti Factory.
Make sure to walk off some of those calories by closing down the gorgeous Denver Botanic Gardens – the grounds don't close until 9p.m. in the summer and it is the perfect place for a relaxing stroll.
If you are up for a late night, take in one of the burlesque shows at Lannie's Clocktower Cabaret. These creative and fun shows are set in an awesome basement lounge and are ridiculously entertaining. And don't forget to stop by the always-open Voodoo Doughnut for a late night snack – they even have vegan doughnuts, and they are damn good.
If you manage to pack all this fun into your guests' vacation, you will be sure to win the host of the year award! But just make sure to complain a lot about our "harsh" winters and unpredictable weather in between all these adventures … Colorado has enough permanent residents. 😉

The talk of the town may have been Zendaya's daring blonde mullet at the Grammy's a while bac, but now, it's all about the super babe's #REALisBEAUTIFUL campaign with haircare giant, CHI. That's right, it's probably the best collab any of us could have imagined.
On top of giving me the chance to hang with CHI's first celeb ambassador, Zendaya, for the night, I was also given the fab opportunity to try its oh-so-cute (and at the same time, effective) CHI Escape 1" Professional Cordless Styling Iron ($109.99). Yes, you read that right, this is 2016 – it's time for you to have a cordless styling iron that you can pull out for touch ups in between those runs from work to a hot date, or after a hearty workout, en route to Sunday brunch with your girls, obvs. Not only is the CHI Escape cordless, but I promise you that it's only about 1.5 the length of the average pen. Unlike a selection of other CHI products, the styling iron also has 3 different heat settings (340°F, 375°F, and 392°F) that are fitting to the type of hair you're dealing with. Although the battery on the CHI Escape lasts for about a half an hour, the convenient travel pouch has just the perfect amount of room for both the car and wall chargers, as well as the CHI Escape itself.
Apart from your styler, I also highly recommend toting along your own travel-size bottle of the CHI 44 Iron Guard Thermal Protecting Spray ($15). In all honesty, CHI's Iron Guard Protecting Spray has always been my go-to, as it is so light and unnoticeably there.
If you believe your hair is one of your most workable assets, I don't lie when I say that carrying the CHI Escape around would be one of the best decisions you've ever made. Zendaya's hair is literally always perfect, so why can't ours be too?

Steven Hawking, the renowned physicist and author, died last week at the age of 76. There is nothing remarkable about that news; every human being dies. That he died at the age of 76 becomes remarkable considering doctors diagnosed him with ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease at the age of 21 while a student at Oxford. At the time doctors gave him two years to live. 55 years later he entered eternity, though as an atheist he would have rejected the idea of heaven, hell, or any afterlife.
"In 2011, narrating the first episode of the American television series Curiosity on the Discovery Channel, Hawking declared: We are each free to believe what we want and it is my view that the simplest explanation is there is no God. No one created the universe and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realisation. There is probably no heaven, and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe, and for that, I am extremely grateful."
In a famous interview three years later he said: "Before we understand science, it is natural to believe that God created the universe. But now science offers a more convincing explanation. What I meant by 'we would know the mind of God' is, we would know everything that God would know, if there were a God, which there isn't. I'm an atheist."
The picture of a weak, frail, mute, and wheelchair bound man remains the image of him in most people's minds. Hawking's atheism gives us Christians more sorrow in his death than his physical limitations in life. There is no other appropriate Christian response to Stephen Hawking's death.
Understandably, the world responded with mournful sentiments, yet not all expressions of sorrow received the same response from some of the masses. For example, Wonder Woman Gal Godot tweeted, "Rest in peace Dr. Hawking. Now you're free of any physical constraints. Your brilliance and wisdom will be cherished forever."
Seems like a nice thing to say, but to many it was not.
Some found Ms. Godot's lamentation troubling. To them only "ableists" would foster the idea that death without disability is superior to life with disability. One follower responded, "Stop making death seem like a positive alternative to being disabled!! It's that attitude more than anything that makes disabled ppl's lives difficult."
As Christians we reject any mistreatment of another human being as sinful. Every ethnicity, both genders, and each human being bears the image of God. As an image bearer, we regard all other image bearers worthy of honor bestowed on them by our creator. Further, we praise God for the grace that enables the disabled to overcome the limitations we observe and they experience. Hawking, Beethoven, Fanny Crosby and many more massively contributed to the world despite physical challenges.
Nevertheless, sin and the subsequent curse has marred our bodies. The healing miracles of Jesus were not only immediate relief to the crippled, paralyzed, blind, deaf, mute, and diseased. The healing miracles gave a hazy look into what will be fully known when we are with the Lord. Jesus said so when he forgave the sin of the crippled man brought by his friends and dropped down through the roof (Luke 5:32ff). It was not necessary for Jesus to heal the physically broken to grant eternal forgiveness of sin. That he did so was prophetic, benevolent, and instructive - no more brokenness of any kind in eternity for those who are with Jesus.
At the resurrection our Lord will recover what was lost at the fall. Every human soul suffers from the impact of sin. Every human body suffers from the impact of sin. Some human bodies show the impact of sin less opaquely than others. Humanity longs for the day when there is no more disability, "We grow weary in our present bodies, and we long to put on our heavenly bodies like new clothing" (2 Cor. 5:2).
As Christians we do not think death without disability is better than life with disability. We think eternal life without sin and its consequences is better than the most abled life here on earth.
Christians advocate anything and everything ethical that improves the quality of life for all impacted in their bodies by the fall. LVADs for heart patients, prosthesis for the injured, glasses for the visually impaired, cochlear implants for any who have lost hearing, ACL reconstruction for the damaged, and on and on the list goes. Where modern science can relieve suffering or inability, Christians cheer the cause. Where science cannot relieve suffering or inability, Christians look to the life to come as far better than the life here.
Hawking's death and the response of many illustrate again the canyon that exists between the Christian worldview and the worldview of unregenerate humanity. Christians must constantly discern the wisdom of this age against the teachings of Jesus and the rest of the Bible. Christian parents must passionately counter the misinformation streaming into their children's minds from teachers, textbooks, and media of every kind.
The subject of life and death is part of a much bigger discussion of how Christians think. I'll pick up the subject again next week.
As always I welcome your feedback and any ideas you might have for an upcoming Lunchtime Musing.

Sustainable businesses
One of the things that most impressed me about Luang Prabang was the prominence of sustainable businesses. These businesses are often run by expats working alongside the locals to improve the self-sustainability of the region.
Laos Buffalo Dairy– One example of this is Laos Buffalo Dairy, a dairy farm which rents buffalo from the surrounding farmers to vaccinate, nourish, and milk them. They produce a variety of delicious buffalo milk products at the same time as providing instructions to local farmers on how best to care for the animals, as well as the benefits of milking buffalo as a source of protein (which is especially important considering the impact of malnutrition on the country), all whilst delivering a source of sustainable income for the farmers.

My roommate and I accidentally joined a CrossFit box when we moved to the Bay Area.
How does one accidentally join CrossFit? It's a lot easier than you might expect. Long story short, we were browsing the internet for free workout classes. There happened to be a free week of CrossFit at the gym down the street. We signed up. We went to our first class and got addicted. We really didn't mean to commit to 5 months of this sport. It just kinda happened.
Week 1
The first week of CrossFit was learning the fundamentals. It was an hour a day for 5 days. Each day a different coach taught us the basic movements of CrossFit. We learned how to squat properly. We learned what a clean was. We learned how to do a push up. We learned thrusters, and snatches, and deadlifts, and pull-ups, and all the basics you need to start.
On Day 4, my roommate had a conflict so I marched into our fundamentals class alone. That day I learned how to use the rowing machine and we reviewed some lifts. And then, my coach decided to let me join the class. I was TERRIFIED. I didn't know anyone. I was still fuzzy on the movements. And here I was standing in a class of people who come every single day. The workout was a combination of wallballs, burpees, and box jumps. I thought I was in shape, but after that workout, I knew I had a long way to go.
So the first workout may have physically been painful (oh so painful), but the environment of was amazing. People who didn't know me were cheering me on. Everyone was suffering together. It was such a community feel that I didn't really get from other workout classes that I went to. You could say that I was hooked.
Month 1
I learned so much in the first month. Figuring out what the movements are, finding out how weak I was, and just learning what CrossFit is all about. I remember in one of our first workouts, we had to do toes to bar. I couldn't even hang on to the bar long enough to lift my legs at all. I also learned what it meant to be uncomfortable. Like really uncomfortable during a workout. This was the first time I had ever lifted heavy weights. And granted to some people the weights I was doing weren't heavy, but it's all a process.
Month 2
At this point, I kind of had an idea of what was going on. I could look at a workout and sort of what was happening. I also started to recognize people from class. And, I started to lift a little heavier since I was more familiar with the movements.
Months 3 to Now
At this point, I would say going to CrossFit is just part of the routine. I get off of work, check the workout, head to the gym, and crank out a session. I'm friendly with the other CrossFitters at the gym. The coaches know me pretty well. And I'm finally starting to see my strength building. Five months ago, I couldn't do a push up. Now I can do 2! I still can't get a pull-up, but I'm getting darn close. My squats are heavier. My push jerks are heavier. My row time is faster. And I can climb a rope! But there is just still so much room for improvement.
What are My Thoughts On CrossFit
In summary, I love it. It's a wonderful sport with wonderful people. I love the gym I go to (https://nc.fit/mountainview/) . All the coaches are great. I've learned so much from them and I continue to learn from them. I feel so much fitter than when I joined. And it's such a good stress reliever. Imagine it to be like meditation. It hurts so much sometimes, that all your outside worries disappear. All you need to think about is finishing the workout.
I don't actually look that much different that when I started. My arms are a bit more defined and I definitely gained some muscle in my legs. But don't worry, all my clothes still fit. No, I didn't turn into the Hulk or anything crazy. I probably should have lost more fat, but we can blame poor office diet for that one.
The only thing I do miss is doing my cardio-focused workout classes. I used to go boxing 3-4 times a week. I really do miss that. If CrossFit was cheaper, I would definitely go less frequently. Right now, I go about 5 days a week. In an ideal world, I'd probably just go 3 days a week and do something else the other days. I do love CrossFit, but I think I could use some variety.
I love the sport though and I hope to keep CrossFitting for years to come :)

After some new reviews for Snow White Trash, Marigolds and Chad Diety we have this weeks reviews for all of the new shows that opened last week. Their were so many that we did miss one or two but we managed to get the reviews for you. Try not to read them all in one sitting. Pace yourself.
Snow White Trash, reviewed by Rod Stafford Hagwood, is apparetnly a great concept but not ready for prime time according to the review in the Sun Sentinel.
Oh, some magic spells for laughs are still being cast. But then, there are so many misfires that the goodwill established with the opening is quickly used up in the 75-minute, no-intermission comedy. And yes, the NC-17-rated language helps a bit, for there is something inherently funny about a fractured fairy tale with enough cussing to make a sailor blush.
The Effect Of Gammy Rays On Man-In-The-Moon Marigolds, reviewed by (NO REVIEWER LISTED), for the Art/Stage blog at the Sun Sentinel.
Palm Beach Dramaworks has dusted off the anguished tale of embittered, alcoholic Beatrice Hunsdorfer and her two daughters, giving it a well-acted production that deserves to be seen. Whether or not "The Effect of Gamma Rays" deserved the Pulitzer is debatable, but the theatrical impact of the show at the new Don and Ann Brown Theatre makes us wish Zindel, whose bibliography includes far more young-adult novels than plays, had written more for the stage.
The Elaborate Entrance Of Chad Deity, reviewed by Bill Hirschman for Florida Theater On Stage and Christine Dolen for the Miami Herald, is a knock-out!
Caldwell Theatre's hilarious satire The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity sneaks a critical rabbit punch at the solar plexus of society. The milieu of "professional" wrestling should not dissuade serious theatergoers, although the faux spectacle including brief grappling bouts will entertain anyone but a killjoy. The copious comedy is laced with cutting social commentary about demagogues exploiting our prejudices about race and nationality to make money or gain power.
Now at Boca Raton's Caldwell Theatre Company, Chad Deity is theater gold. It's fast and flawlessly paced, insanely funny, a little sobering at the end when its message – like the play's most defiant wrestler – kicks you in the gut. The script works on several levels at once, turning a normally quiet and observant audience into a bunch of rowdy wrestling fans who can't stop grinning. This is a play full of physical, emotional and intellectual heft, one staged flawlessly by artistic director Clive Cholerton.
Snoopy! The Muscial, reviewed by Christine Dolen for the Miami Herald, is affectionate, inconsequential family entertainment.
Area Stage Company, a pioneering Lincoln Road company admired for its strong productions of challenging plays, has lately carved out a niche in its larger Coral Gables home with ambitious musicals performed by conservatory students. With its new production of Snoopy! The Musical, Area is easing back into professional fare, tapping some of those talented students and a couple of pros for its blended cast.
Boeing Boeing, reviewed by Bill Hirschman for Florida Theater On Stage, puts you on notice.
Promethean and its house director Margaret M. Ledford, best known for thought-provoking dramas and campy summer musicals, enter new territory with an out and out comedy that requires skill and discipline. As proven by the copious laughter in the hall, they acquit themselves well.
Love, Loss, And What I Wore, reviewed by Bill Hirschman for Florida Theater On Stage, lets you know that If we are what we eat, then even more so, we must be what we wear.
The evening features five women telling 90 minutes of stories, touching and uproarious, about how everything from Birkenstock shoes to an old bathrobe provide the touchstones of the authors' lives. It often seems less theater so much as eavesdropping on a dish-fest that lingers over coffee in a restaurant after a two-hour lunch.
Cabaret, reviewed by Bill Hirschman for Florida Theater On Stage; Hap Erstine for the Palm Beach Post; and by Christine Dolen for the Miami Herald, gives you a glimpse at 'Devine Decadence'.
With its new edgy production of Cabaret, the Maltz Jupiter Theatre takes an often thrilling left turn into adult, thought-provoking theater that this home of mainstream crowd-pleasers rarely attempts. The desperate dancing, the heedless hedonism, the gritted grin to blot out the impending end of the world are painfully recognizable. It's resonances are deafening.
Without doing anything radical to them, the Maltz has breathed new life into such recent shows as Crazy for You and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Their Cabaret is of the same high quality as those productions, but it falls far short when it comes to native inventiveness. The cast is first-rate – exceptional in some cases – but this show is best enjoyed by those who have never previously seen Cabaret.
Staged by BT McNicholl, this version of the 1966 John Kander-Fred Ebb-Joe Masteroff classic is in the style of the Tony Award-winning 1998 Broadway revival created by Sam Mendes and Rob Marshall. All of the action, both the big musical numbers and the intimate dramatic scenes, is played out in an artfully rundown space that becomes the tawdry Kit Kat Klub in early 1930s Berlin.
Jersery Boys,
reviewed was loved by Phyllis Green of ENV Magazine and Beau Higgins of Broadway World: Miami.
Oh, what a night! Thousands of cheering fans floated through the Broward Center of Performing Arts after seeing a phenomenal performance of the 2006 Tony Award winning musical "Jersey Boys".
JERSEY BOYS demonstrates what a juke box musical can be when all the stars align just right and all the professionals are at the top of their game. The audience at the Broward Center last night received JERSEY BOYS with the wildest pandemonium, seemingly endless cheering, and simply bravo'd the show within an inch of its life.

Tucson Water offers a one-page document (in English and Spanish) with the procedure for how to flush a water heater. Periodically flushing a water heater reduces mineral buildup on fixtures and dishes, eliminates bacteria that makes hot water smell, extends service life, heats water faster, and saves money on utility bills.
At the start of flushing, the water in the tank may be hot, so allow time for it to cool once the gas or electricity has been shut off.
Water heaters should be flushed at least once a year.
