About Dave Alexander
This is just working dress, or No 4. The RN has dresses 1 thru 5 and the No 1 even has 3 classes. 1A, 1B and 1C. All the traditional stuff has been kept.

case for what?
Dave Alexander replied to trakkles's topic in Great Britain: Orders, Gallantry, Campaign MedalsLooks like Dutch - Wilhelms Order Knights Cross.
Prison garment?
Dave Alexander replied to Monsieur Hulot's topic in Great Britain: Militaria: Badges, Uniforms & EquipmentTo me numbers look like 27062, if this helps.
17/21L amalgamated with the 16/5L in 1993 to form the Queen's Royal Lancers. Later this year the QRL will amalgamate with the 9/12L to form the Royal Lancers. Tom Romans was Trumpet Major in 17/21L when band was dis-banded and members kept their dress uniforms. Nice bonus.

My Early Police Days - Part 8
Dave Alexander commented on Mervyn Mitton's blog entry in Mervyn Mitton's BlogSounds like a fantasy world compared with what we are used to here, Merv. An article appeared in today's Los Angeles Times referring to an incident involving the LA County Sheriff Dept. I will quote it in it's entirety. "An incident near Miller Avenue and East Almanza Lane began when someone flagged down deputies and told them there was a man in the area with a gun. They confronted the man and he drew the weapon. He was pronounced dead at the scene."
Those of the Sikh religion don't cut their hair or shave either. Wish I'd thought of converting when I was in.
Not wishing to go into the details of my military service I'll just add to what Peter has touched on by saying that those who would glamourize war have never been in one. The following poem is by Siegfried Sassoon in WW I and hits close to home. I knew a simple soldier boy Who grinned at life in empty joy Slept soundly through the lonesome dark And whistled early with the lark In winter trenches cowed and glum With crumps and lice and lack of rum He put a bullet through his brain And no one spoke of him again You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye Who cheer when soldier lads march by Sneak home and pray you'll never know The hell where youth and laughter go. Whenever I see people watching parades, waving flags and cheering, I recite the last verse to myself.
Need Help IDing Possible Masonic Medals in Photos
Dave Alexander replied to ph0ebus's topic in Masonic Medals & JewelsIf he was British I doubt strongly that he would be wearing any Masonic trappings in public. My father, grandfather, greatgrandfather, uncles etc., were all Masons in the UK and kept it secret from me 'til I was in my teens. That's why they have the secret handshakes and conversational phrases to identify themselves. A laughable bunch of claptrap.
The Gaurdian article is a little vague, the QRL haven't been equipped with Challengers in years. The QRL are to be amalgamated with the 9/12L and will probably retain the motto as they did when the 17/21L and 16/5 came together even though the latter Regt was senior.
Check out "Passive radar" and you'll see why "stealth" technology has been obsolete for the better part of a decade.
L with crown is most probably Government stamp (King Leopold II).
ELG is Liege, Belgium proofmark. All sizes were metric yours would be 12mm. Most likely made in 1870s, the last pinfires to my knowledge were made in 1890 and they were shotguns.
Need help with an ID of this ordnance round
Dave Alexander replied to WJT's topic in Firearms & OrdnanceWith those rings on the nose I'd have to agree that it's probably an anti-aircraft shell wherein the shells could be set to detonate at certain heights. There would be little reason for a submarine to have this kind of ammo. For the caliber just measure from one side to the other at the point where the head and brass casing meet. The early Austrian submarines U20 class carried a 20mm (2.6 in) deck gun, they were succeeded by the U27 class with a 75mm (3.0 in) gun and late war the U43 class had an 88mm (3.5 in ) gun.
Need help with an ID of this ordnance round
Dave Alexander replied to WJT's topic in Firearms & OrdnanceWhat are the dimensions? Bore size, height of casing, any stampings, letters, numbers?

Lovely, think of the most beautiful person you have ever known.
What made them the most beautiful to you?
Chances are it was some quality that they had inside, or some way they made you feel. It was a certain something - or as the French say, a "Je ne sais quoi" - that you just could not put your finger on.
Today, remember that you could be the most beautiful person in the world to someone else right now.
You have a certain something about you, too. What is that thing?
Remember to #bloomlovely.

questions about using a catering service!
Our only limit is your imagination!
What are the options I have for determining the type of service I will need for my event?
You have four options:
1 - The first is our full service cater, which includes staff and buffet style service . All of the prices listed on our menu are for this type of service. Suggested gratuity for this type of catered service is 18%. Please inquire for sit-down style service.
2 - The second is a drop-off service. Your menu selections will be hot (or cold) & ready and dropped off and set-up at the location of your event. The food will be in aluminum containers, with aluminum foil covering or plastic wrap. Pa-per products are not included with this option; you have the option to order them from us if you like. Your delivery fee will be based on the location of your event as well as your total menu cost. Suggested gratuity for this type of catered service is 10%.
3 - The third option is a pick-up cater. You will pick up your hot (or cold) food at our Silverton location, ready to serve. The food will be in aluminum containers, with aluminum foil covering or plastic wrap. Paper products are not included with this option; you have the option to order them from us if you like. Suggested gratuity for this service is 10%.
4 - The fourth option is choosing a menu from our platters to go menu for pick-up only. Depending on the menu you choose, you will receive your food on heavy duty black plastic trays or aluminum foil containers covered with aluminum foil. Paper products are not included with this option; you have the option to order them from us if you like.
We also offer the option of renting our chaffing dishes for the pick-up, drop-off or platters to go menu. The price is listed on the bottom of the platters to go menu.
What is included in the per person price?
The per person price you see in our menu is based on a full service cater. Please inquire about pricing for all other catering options.
The per person price on the menu not only includes your freshly prepared food, but also high quality paper prod-ucts, the labor to set up, maintain and break down a buffet style service (up to three hours for most events). If you are interested in having china plates and utensils, elegant clear plastic, bar service, or if you would like to know if we can accommodate a sit-down service for your event, please call us for a custom quote. Gratuity is not included, however, an optional suggestion will be included in your final contract.
Why do we include an optional gratuity amount?
Gratuity is included on your contract to help you figure out the approximate total due. Gratuity is optional and payable upon the completion of your event. Gratuity is based upon the service provided at your event and is distributed to the hardworking staff who helps ensure that your event is a success.
What is the purpose of the contract and why do I need to sign one?
We are happy to verbally confirm availability of your desired date, however, all bookings are considered tentative until we receive your signed contract and your deposit. The contract is designed to specify and guarantee the date and details of your event. Having a contract between us assures you that we won't book the date you have reserved as well as protecting us from lost business once we commit to catering your function on that date. Your contract will state the deadline for your final guest count, the deposit due, when full payment must be received and all other event details.
Dessert. The best part and its all homemade.
Can you provide alcohol service for my event?
Yes, we are proud to offer alcohol services for your event. We can provide bar service for events at which we are already catering or we can provide bar services only. The attached menus will explain the details with this service.
Can I provide the alcohol and have your licensed server serve at my event?
Unfortunately, Insurance guidelines do not allow us to serve the alcohol unless we are providing it.
Can I provide some of the alcohol or ask for specialty drinks?
Yes, we will allow you to provide personalized or sentimental wine to be served by our servers. There will be an $8.00 per bottle corkage fee, which will be added to your invoice. Yes, we will prepare a specialty drink or purchase a specialty liquor, wine, or beer if it is available to us.
What if I need to rent tables, chairs or specialty items?
We would be glad to refer a rental company, or we can take your order and take care of all the details, which would include ordering your items, setting up, delivery and pick up and paying the invoice. The cost will depend on your rental items ordered in combination with your catering order and will be added to your invoice. In addition, if you find that any detail has been left off your contract. Please contact us prior to signing and returning your contract.
I would like to have cloth linens for my event. Can you help me?
We'd be glad to! We can provide solid color restaurant-quality linens to you at a very reasonable price. We are happy to work with you to determine how to best decorate your guest tables and buffet tables to ensure your event is exactly as you envision it. We also provide the linens to dress our buffet tables at no cost to you! If your event is longer than the catering service is needed we ask that you will return the linens by the following business day after your event. Please call our office for a quote for your specific event.
The facility where I am holding my event charges the caterer a fee. How does this affect me?
If the facility you are using for your event requires the caterer to pay a fee (usually a percentage of the food and beverage), then we will list that as a separate item on your invoice. It will be the exact amount we are required to pay the facility – nothing more. Your contract will specify whether the facility you have selected requires caterers to pay a fee.
Are there any costs I might be surprised to find at the conclusion of my event?
No way! Every item is listed in your contract, as well as the gratuity amount. There will be no costs that you were not informed or aware of.
How do I start the process of picking out my menu?
While looking through our menu you will notice there are some pre-designed menus for you. These are some of our customer favorites! You may either choose one of these pre-designed menus or you may design your own. If you would like help choosing your menu and planning your event just ask our Catering Manager. If there is something that you have in mind that is not on our menu, or if you have a favorite recipe just ask, we would be glad to make ithappen for you!
What if I need my wedding cake or other dessert cut and served?
We will be happy to provide plates, forks, and napkins and we will cut and serve your wedding cake or dessert. Please refer to our services menu for the pricing. We will not be responsible for the handling of your wedding cake before or after we have cut and served. If we are providing your dessert, we will take care of all the clean up and dis-posal or disbursement of the remaining dessert.
Is there a delivery fee?
In some cases yes, it depends on the number of guests at your event, as well as where the event is taking place. Please ask our Catering Manager if you are unsure. For all drop-off services there will be a delivery fee, please ask our Catering Manager for a quote based on your location.
Do I have to have staff at my event?
Not necessarily, we will work with you to find the appropriate menu and services that are needed to make your event exactly as you envision it.
How will the food stay hot and fresh before we eat and while we are going through the buffet line?
We use approved technology for maintaining safe food temperatures for all our food. We will be cooking your food on site & our chefs will have the appropriate thermometers to ensure the proper temperature of your food. Once the food is prepared and ready to serve, we'll place it in our chaffing dishes on the buffet line for service. Beneath the chaffing dishes will be burning sternos, these elements will heat the chaffing dishes to ensure the temperature is not lost while your guests are going through the buffet line. We will work with you to ensure that your service period no longer than 40 minutes, in order to maintain the proper temperature of your food items.
Can I order multiple entrees and sides for my guests?
Yes! There are two ways you can do this with the entrée selection. You can either order enough of both entrées for everyone and receive a discount on the second item, or you can get an RSVP from your guest as to what they intend to eat that evening. Either way you may add additional entrees and sides if you wish. The menu will list the specific price for the extra side you are requesting, for side choices you receive a discount per person with each ad-ditional item ordered.
Will I receive a discount if my guest count is over a certain number?
Yes, please inquire with our office for groups over 200 people.
When is the final head count due?
We ask for the final head count 7 business days before your event. If you are concerned that you may run out of food because you did not ask for an RSVP from your guests we will be happy to discuss this with you and offer our suggestions based on experience. It is better to have more food than not enough!
What do you do with the left over food?
What would you like us to do with your food? You can specify your wishes and they will be repeated and honored in your contract. Once your guests are finished going through the buffet line, we will then transfer the uneaten food to aluminum foil disposable pans. We generally ask our client where they would like us to leave it. Once we have left the event we are not responsible for the food temperature and holding of your left over food.

VENTURA, Calif. (AP) - The hatching of two bald eagle chicks in a nest on one of the Channel Islands off Southern California gave webcam viewers a thrill this week.
Channel Islands National Park says the two chicks hatched 14 hours apart on Santa Cruz Island, and a third egg chick was expected Friday.
The hatchings are a sign of progress in restoration of the species to the island chain where the birds disappeared in the 1960s due to the effects of DDT and other human activities.
There are now 50 to 60 bald on the Channel Islands and 13 active nests, where at least 22 eggs have been laid this breeding season.
There are five webcams that follow the activities of eagles.

There are 7 known families with children who have been diagnosed with KCNK9 Imprinting Syndrome. The original family that was studied (2008) in northern Israel, to find this mutation is believed to have approximately 23 family members affected. The other cases that we know of are of de novo origin. There are three children in the United States, and one each in Brazil, Singapore, & Poland. The original Arab-Israeli family has a large age range with some grown children. The new cases, including our son, are all under the age of four. All were diagnosed via Exome Sequencing and have the same amino acid change (G236R). Our understading is that this syndrome does not appear to be a degenerative or life-shortening disease.
Like with any syndrome there is variability of disease and each child is affected differently. Some are impacted far more then others. Most of the children are diagnosed with mild to severe low muscle tone (hypotonia). There are also varying degrees of cognitive impairment. The milestones of the large Arab-Israeli family were not documented and some efforts are being made to get that data. Three of our kids had a unusually narrow, v-shaped cleft palate. Several children have a seizure history. Some of the children suffer from scoliosis. All of the children had feeding difficulties in infancy. Most required a feeding tube for at least 5 months. Others like Preston still require a gastrostomy tube. The feeding issues in the large family were said to have resolved by puberty. All of our children are delayed in gross motor skills. Speech is another area that is also universally delayed. 2 of the 5 children are talking now after the age of 3.
The geneticists that have been in touch with the Arab-Israelis were able to share some information. A few of these individuals are in their teen years. We were told that they all walk and talk. The mental status is extremely variable from normal, to the mild, to the moderate affected spectrum. Their main medical problems were related to reduced muscle tone and slim build. As far as the doctors know none of them had early intervention services. All of the older children appeared to be walking by the age of 6. One of the older boys was able to attend and graduate through a typical high school.
All of our children are very social and love attention and to be around others. They love music and singing. They are all receiving early intervention services and various therapies. Preston receives speech therapy, feeding therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, 8 hours of early intervention, with augmentative communication therapy and behavior therapy pending approval.

Be sure to Roar your team into the record books as Brisbane aim to become the ultimate sporting invincibles!
Brisbane Roar v Perth Glory Saturday 26th November, 6.45pm
Be sure to Roar your team into the record books as Brisbane aim to become the ultimate sporting invincibles!
Saturday night sees Brisbane Roar going all out to make history at Suncorp Stadium.
Last week's win in Newcastle equalled the 74-year-old record of 35 unbeaten games set by NSW Rugby League club Eastern Suburbs in the late 1930s. Avoiding defeat this weekend will see the Roar surpass that achievement and become the most unbeatable sporting club that Australia has ever seen.
If you needed extra motivation to get along and watch this fantastically exciting side play, surely this is it. It's not every day you get to witness history in the making, so be there, and give your players the support they need to ensure they don't slip up so close to achieving this incredible milestone!
Of course, breaking records is all well and good, but equally pressing is the need for Roar to keep their lead at the top of the ladder.
After a couple of less-than-impressive draws, the champions got back to winning ways last Saturday with a come-from-behind victory over Newcastle Jets. One down at half-time against the side who, at the time, were lying in second spot, Brisbane simply upped their game in the second period and turned the match on its head.
The win sent out a strong message to the rest of the Hyundai A-League - this team won't make it easy for others to catch them. Now, with a six-point lead at the summit, they will be looking for a home game with Perth Glory as the chance to push on and get another victory.
But Glory last week proved themselves to be a hard side to beat. Despite being on a potentially morale-sapping winless run that now stands at four games, the team from Western Australia showed just how much spirit there is in their camp by pulling back a two-goal deficit at Etihad Stadium and coming away with a very creditable draw against Melbourne Victory.
A Carlos Hernandez penalty and Danny Allsopp's close-range effort looked like they were set to condemn the visitors to a fourth straight loss but a superb free-kick from Andrezinho and a Shane Smeltz header saw Glory leave with a very valuable point.
Not only that, but they achieved it despite playing the entire second half with just ten men, after Liam Miller was sent off just before the interval. If ever there was an example of Guts and Glory, it was how the team performed in the second-half against Victory.
As well as missing Miller for the trip to the Champions, Glory will also likely still be without Travis Dodd for this clash.
Suncorp Stadium is the place to be on Sunday, as Brisbane Roar set about taking sporting invincibility to a whole new level. Be there to cheer your side towards the record books and, if they achieve it, to salute an incredible effort.
Perth will be keen to spoil the party as they look to get their own season back on track, so make as much noise as you can and create the kind of atmosphere that will spur Roar on to a seminal win!

A City Without Guns, 2015 - Ongoing
Found sticks in the shape of guns
Made in an edition of 5 unique collections
Dimensions variable
About: A City Without Guns, 2015 - Ongoing is a series that emerged from a combination of my high-anxiety around the public health crisis of guns in America, daily dog walks, a sense of magical realism, and the curatorial eyes of Susanne Slavick. In 2013-2014 I started picking up every stick that looked like a gun as a way to play with the idea that by meditating on this object and shape in my hand, an actual gun in someone else's actual hand somewhere in America at precisely that same moment might, somehow, turn into wood, rendered non-lethal. A sizable collection began to accumulate on my studio wall and Susanne noticed it when I posted it to Facebook. She approached me about including it in Unloaded, a group show, which was a great chance to formalize the work and have it be seen by a wider audience. The work is made as an edition of five, with the first collection of nearly 45 guns touring the US with Unloaded. Each edition is unique, with a variable number of guns that are mounted directly to the wall.
The editions of this work have had many lives on tour with various exhibitions and venues across the country and now in Switzerland.

"I'll be honest. If there is one thing that affects me, it is the heat. I will not lie, the last three days in Texas have been tough. I was greeted with high humidity, and high temperatures. But I was also met with high levels of love, motivation, and support by brother Marines, future Marines, fellow servicemen, old friends, and new friends. It was with their support, and the support of Team Rob that I made it through a tough three days!
I've said similar things in the past, but the struggles that veterans face do not stop in the heat or the high humidity. Therefore, I will not stop either. In fact, I will use these conditions to become stronger and more resilient and better able to fight for my brothers."

Burke Agro's team of agronomists is responsible for hosting weekly workshops and training programs for farmers, monitoring yields and productivity, and providing recommendations for improvements. The results of these actions are increased income and improved livelihoods for smallholder farming families.
As a result of the company's integrated farmer development program, farming families now realize the importance of the sustainability of their land and value the opportunity for future generations to have access to productive and healthy farms.
Why We Do It
According to the World Bank, Nicaragua is the second poorest country in the western hemisphere with almost 48% of its population living on less than $1 per day. Many parts of Nicaragua are characterized by high levels of inequality with limited access to basic services such as water and electricity.
A severe lack of jobs and education in rural areas coupled with smallholder farmers' inability to compete in the global market has created a perpetual cycle of poverty in many farming communities.
Sol Organica is working to change those statistics by offering farmers financial training workshops, opening bank accounts for individual farmers and cooperatives, paying above market value for crops, and offering jobs to single mothers in rural communities.
Regenerative Organic Agriculture: The Growing Revolution
Regenerative agriculture is a holistic approach to food, farming, and ranching systems that rejects pesticides and artificial fertilizers while focusing on soil health and the wellbeing of animals, workers, and farming communities.
In 2017, a coalition of agriculture and food system leaders united to address the issues of soil depletion, global warming, and climate change within our food system. The result of these conversations was a certificate that leverages existing high-bar organic, animal welfare, and regenerative requirements into one: the Regenerative Organic Certification (ROC).
Sol Organica's Regenerative Agriculture Program
Sol Organica was invited to participate in the first ever Regenerative Organic Certification pilot program, which began in the summer of 2018. Our regenerative agriculture program focuses on rebuilding organic matter in soils, restoring biodiversity, carbon drawdown and increasing farm productivity while continuing to foster the growth and well-being of our Nicaraguan farming communities.
We are honored to have been selected for this ground-breaking program that will set new industry standards and change the way consumers and businesses view responsible sourcing, sustainable farming, and ethical business practices.
Contact us at email@example.com to discover how we can partner together on your regenerative agriculture project or visit regenorganic.org to learn more about the Regenerative Organic Certification.

Quote of the Month
"Geology is the study of pressure and time. That's all it takes really... pressure... and time..." - Shawshank Redemption
Coach's Corner
By Coach Declan McDonnell
December is here, folks. It's probably the best month during the worst season, which is a bit like the inflatable football field beer cooler I won at the family White Elephant last Christmas. I was pretty fired up at the time, but there wasn't anyone handing out iPod videos either. That being said, now is the time to take advantage of the early season holiday cheer and roll right through those first few first sub zero days.
Every challenge brings opportunity, however, and there are two that come to mind with winter training - the first is a perk and the second is a habit to reinforce. The perk is that we don't get to run in ideal conditions very often. It's dark, there's snow on the trail, we're wearing more gear, and there's somehow always a headwind from the north and south on the path. This can be useful! It means that it becomes that much more difficult to compare our present self to our past achievements. Learning to listen to your body and to understand your effort is so valuable. Our bodies adapt best when we learn how to stress it based on where we are today, not on where we have been in the past or where the GPS says we should be. Take advantage of the chance to put your head down and put in the work. When you look up again in the spring, you might surprise yourself.
The habit I challenge you to practice this winter is persistence. Persistence beats perfection any time of the year, but it's something I have to remind myself more often during the winter months. Perfection is unsustainable, and often leads to a binary on/off mentality. This can manifest itself within a workout, or within a week of training. Just because you didn't hit the times on the first few reps doesn't mean you should skip the rest of the workout – refocus, reassess what's attainable on that day, and achieve what you are capable of. In the same vein, just because you skipped your run Monday and your mileage is off for the week doesn't mean that the rest of the week is a loss – refocus, reassess what's attainable, and get out there the next chance you get.
Looking forward to getting some tough miles in this winter!

Dark Dream heads into the Hong Kong Classic Cup (1800m) on Sunday with a ringing endorsement from the man who rode him to a troubled fourth in last month's Hong Kong Classic Mile (1600m).
"I think Dark Dream will be the winner," Silvestre de Sousa said at Sha Tin on Tuesday morning.
And yet Britain's three-time champion jockey hopes to prove his own thought wrong: De Sousa will not be in the Dark Dream plate this weekend. Instead, Zac Purton will climb back aboard trainer Frankie Lor's highly-rated four-year-old.
De Sousa took over Dark Dream's reins from Purton in December for a commanding Class 2 win over 2000m, the Australian having ridden the gelding on debut. But true to Hong Kong's reputation for ruthless competition, the Brazilian has paid the price for failing to hit the frame behind stablemate Furore in the first leg of the Four-Year-Old Classic Series.
"I think I got sacked. I was very disappointed: things went against the horse and I looked after him in the race for this next race. But that's the way it goes here - I got taken off the horse. It's tough but that's Hong Kong, you get on with it," De Sousa said.

With the man from São Francisco do Maranhão booked for the promising ratings-riser Ho Ho Khan, Purton is looking forward to getting reacquainted with the high-profile import, winner of last year's G1 Queensland Derby (2200m).
"Dark Dream is a really nice horse and he got bad interference last time when he was coming with a run, so I think he's the horse everybody has to beat," Purton said.
"He just drew the wrong gate (12) last time. The race lacked speed, he drew wide, it was always going to be difficult for them to get in and get the right spot - it was just a messy race. In the straight there was that domino effect out and he got the bump but after that he still attacked the line."
Dark Dream closed to finish two and three-quarter lengths behind the sail-away winner Furore. The Lor duo head into round two equal top-rated on 104 and as the lead protagonists on the road to the three-race series finale, the BMW Hong Kong Derby (2000m) on 17 March.
"The Classic Cup will paint a clearer picture. I was surprised at how easily Furore was able to win last time - he jumped out of the ground - so if he reproduces that performance again it means that it was no fluke and then there's probably not much between them," Purton said.
The rider is also confident that the step up to 1800m will suit a horse who has registered three of his five career wins at 2000m or farther.
"He'd gone from 2000 metres back to the mile last time, which is never easy to do, and now he's stepping back up to a trip that's more suitable. I hope he can draw well and just get the right run in the race," he said.
"That last race had no speed on so if we get in a race with a bit more tempo it can change things for a lot of horses."
De Sousa, too, is hoping for a good pace for the David Hall-trained Ho Ho Khan who heads into the contest off a hat-trick of course and distance wins. The new partnership had a dry run in a Happy Valley barrier trial on 9 February, galloping on well enough for fifth over an inadequate 1200m.
"He had a nice trial at the Valley the other day and I was very happy with him: it was only 1200 and he feels like a stayer. I'm pleased to pick up the ride, he's got nice form and it's a tight race - it is a big step up in class for him but he's entitled to be there," De Sousa said.
And the rider is looking for the Makfi colt to confirm his BMW Hong Kong Derby potential.
"I think he'll stay the Derby distance, and of course that's the dream but you have to live with the dream. We'll find out a bit more about him in this race," he said.
Vincent Ho has ridden Ho Ho Khan to each of his three wins but sticks with Ka Ying Star, having ridden the Tony Cruz-trained gelding to place third in the Classic Mile last time.

Connecting the Dots:
Summertime at GB Culinary's Peachtree Farmstead
notes from the field by kaylinn buchanan
The season is in full swing at Peachtree Farmstead. We are getting a great amount of summer squash, and the beginning of some unique varieties of winter squash as well. Heirloom tomatoes are everywhere! We have been enjoying bush beans that taste great right off the vine. Lemon cucumbers are my favorite to make their debut this year and I will make sure they make a return every summer! We have more lettuce, greens and beets than we know what to do with. Shishito peppers and eggplant are prolific too.
This time of the year brings a particularly long sort of busy, with days outside that start early and don't end until past dark (never without Colorado Aromatics' NoSkeeto natural bug repellant).. If you were to fly over the farm on a given morning, it would probably look like little dots running back and forth from the garden to the kitchen, and back to the garden, their little dot dogs running around them.
I get to see the bounty of the farm right as it is harvested and brought to the kitchen. We retrieve the empty baskets and I know that what had been in it has turned into something delicious. But I am so quick to get back out and retrieve what the garden has next to offer that I rarely stop to think about what its new incarnation might look like. I watched at a recent farm dinner an excited group of guests seated at a long table in an idyllic farm setting served multiple courses of art on a plate. The seeds that had been cultivated months ago, fed, watered, pruned and harvested, were now components of a meal that was being enjoyed that very moment. When I think about it that way, each green bean or leaf of basil is important, and being part of a process that allows people to enjoy and be nourished is pretty cool thing. So that is what I will remember, to not just be the little dot that runs back and forth from garden to kitchen but a part of something cool that people get to enjoy.

153: Where To Start With Succession Planning
Published August 11, 2014
Add to queue
Copy URL
Show notes
A lot of leaders never take succession planning seriously because they feel like they either don't need it or know where to start. Today, how to start with succession planning.
Guest: Bill Bliss
Bliss & Associates, Inc.
Author, Success In the C-Suite: Top Seven Strategies for Extraordinary Achievement
Bill last appeared on episode #118: What's The Difference Between Management and Leadership
Myths and stopping points of succession planning
The organization is only mine (I own it)
The organization is too small
I don't know how to create a plan
In reality, a lot of people just don't want to make the hard decisions.
Succession planning strategies and principles:
1. Development of leaders requires an investment of time and money
Look at where the company needs to be five years from now - that's where the discussion starts
Then determine the competencies that will need to be ready at that time
"The number one role of any leader is to identify and prepare their successor." -Bill Bliss
2. Successful leadership development is a multi-faceted approach
Bill mentioned the Center for Creative Leadership as a resource
Mentorship is valuable for some organizations, as is experiential leadership
Coaching is also very valuable for individuals
3. Backup succession plans are a necessity, not a luxury
Don't place all your eggs in one basket
4. Legacy leaders must learn to completely let go
Develop interests outside of the organization if you are leading and plan to leave
5. Leaders willingly subordinate their own pride and ego for the sake of the success of the organization
Step one: where is the organization going to be 3-5 years from now?
"Begin with the end in mind." -Stephen Covey
Practical Action
What action are you taking on your 3-5 year action plan?

On Sunday we celebrated the life of my grandmother. My grandmother passed away at the end of February. My grandparents decided a long time ago that they didn't want a funeral. They didn't want people to be sad. They wanted to have parties to celebrate their wonderful lives. So that is what we did.
We had the celebration at the Seacoast Repertory Theater. DeDe was a big part of this theater. She ran a senior acting group, Senior Moments, that was a part of the theater. After DeDe passed, the theater decided to dedicate their whole season to her. Her picture is on the first page of every program.
The celebration was amazing. Sooo many people came. You could just feel the love because she touched so many peoples' lives. Some members of Senior Moments read some columns that DeDe had written. Some people spoke and told stories. My mom's chorus sang. Some people from the theater sang. And my amazing brother sang his songs he wrote for DeDe. It was a wonderful way to celebrate DeDe's life and I know she loved the whole day.
There was a guest book that people could write little messages in. I read a few and they were all so sweet. I know everyone loved my grandmother.
I wrote:
You are one of the most amazing people I've ever met. You have always been my hero and you are more now than ever. I will love and cherish all our wonderful memories and be sure to share them with my kids someday. I miss you ever single day. I love you with everything I have.
Love, Brittany
I know there are a million things I could've written but it is so hard to put it all into words. I miss her more than words can say but I know she is around me every day.
I love you DeDe. ❤

'There goes the Neighbourhood' – 22-23 November
Published On Thu 16 Nov 2017 by Grant Hill
The ingredients that make for successful – and not so successful – neighbourhoods will be explored at a University of Dundee symposium later this month.
'There goes the Neighbourhood' will take place on Wednesday 22 and Thursday 23 November. It is being organised by Dundee-based members of the Academy of Urbanism, an organisation that seeks to celebrate great places across the world and the people and organisations that create and sustain them.
The first day takes the form of a study trip to Broughty Ferry, a finalist in the Academy of Urbanism's Great Neighbourhood Award, while the second will feature talks, workshops and discussion at the West Park Conference Centre.
The keynote speech will see Rob St. Mary, director of outreach at Patronicity in Detroit, Michigan, talk about his experience of engaging communities. In just over three years, Patronicity has helped large and small Michigan, Massachusetts and Indiana communities to create over 200 projects, crowdfunding over $7m with an extended economic impact of over $25 million.
Organiser Dr Husam AlWaer, Senior Lecturer in Sustainable Urban Design and Evaluation at the University, said, "Drawing from national and international examples, the aim is to explore the physical, social and economic attributes that make for successful neighbourhoods.
"Using lessons from 'established' exemplars, we aim to identify factors that can help regenerate existing neighbourhoods and making new neighbourhoods and estates more 'liveable'.
"We are delighted that Rob St. Mary will join us to give his perspective on this subject having achieved great success with regeneration and other neighbourhood projects in the United States. We will also be celebrating local successes and hearing from representatives of the AoU's Great Neighbourhoods."
The symposium takes place as part of Scotland's Towns Week, a programme devised to enable architects, planners, developers and community stakeholders to collaborate, share best practice, ultimately to bring life, vitality and vibrancy back into town centres.

I am glad to announce that the English version of the Free 3D Graphics Training article series is starting from Sat, 12 Dec 2015.
This is the translation of the original Marathi article series called 'चला शिकूया 3D Animation' which talks about 3D animation and graphics. The entire series constits of several articles and also introduces many aspects of 3D through a real short film. New articles will be posted each day. So stay tuned and give me your feedback too…
The English version of my FREE 3D animation training series is almost ready. I am having very good response to the original Marathi training, 'चला शिकूया 3D Animation!'. I will soon start posting the English version. I hope you will like it.
The complete series will introduce to you, various aspects of 3D graphics and we will talk about animation as well. We will discuss right from script writing, storyboards and 3D modeling, animation upto editing and post production. To have a practical and application oriented approach, we will be studying the complete making of a short film. Here is the finish short film.
So stay tuned…
I am feeling very happy to present to you this short-film. This is a story of 'Tingu', a little lamp, trying to resolve the magic cube. After struggling a lot and still not being able to solve, he finally gets angry. At the end, 'Tingu' finds the cube resolving 'magically'.
This short-film is developed by students and fresher 3d artists, at ADVAITA STUDIOS. Everybody enjoyed working on this project and everybody worked hard too, while learning. This is a part of a big free training series (currently in marathi) called- 'चला शिकूया 3D Animation'. This free training series covers most of the fundamental things about 3D animation and also about computer graphics in general.
Here is the link: http://advaita-studios.com/cs3d/
We are also planning to develop an English version of it.
We hope that you will like and enjoy this short film. Please give us your feedback and/or suggestions, about any of the aspect of this film. Also if you have any questions or doubts about any aspect of 3D animation field, please feel free to ask us. We will be gladly replay!
Have a nice day 🙂
Since 2003, I have been asked for guidance, so many times, about making career in 3D animation field. Most of the questions are from parents asking for their 10th or 12th std children. And other are from those who want to enter in the field themselves.
Out of all the queries, I have shortlisted these 3, which I think are the most important ones:
Most of them were asking me to give more information and a broader overview of the sector. According to them, such kind of information is not readily and easily available. Most newspaper or magazine articles are promotional and NOT informative. They don't get a cumulative or sorted out information from such articles.
I was also asked by many, to provide in-depth and application oriented training. They have experience that, most of the famous training institutes charge very high amount of fees, but there is less guaranty for real application oriented training. Continue reading
