Chris Fullan, of Middletown, is working to preserve local history through his business Forever Hung Wood Window Restoration one frame at a time.
When driving around Bucks County, Chris Fullan is like a kid in a candy store.
But, in his case, the attraction wouldn't be to the chocolate bars and taffy on the shelves. Fullan would be fixated on the large, painted pane of glass out front, giving customers a glimpse into the treasures within.
As he travels to different job sites working as a historic window restorer, Fullan finds himself gazing at the rural homesteads of Quakertown, the ornate, turn of the century estates in Doylestown, and the unique waterfront properties of Bristol.
In many cases he sees what others do not.
He sees the craftsmanship, the skilled, often arduous labor that went into shaping the handmade wooden frames and shutters.
The beauty — and surprising durability — of the windows can often go unnoticed, he says, as paint chips away and the regular upkeep ignored.
And Fullan has a message for anyone who owns a structure with old, time-worn wooden windows:
"Don't throw them away!" he pleaded during a recent interview from his workshop.
The thought of these portals to the past being discarded or destroyed clearly strikes at his core.
"They're far superior than any replacement you're going to get," he added. "With proper restoration, from any quality restoration professional, you're going to be very happy with the product. When they were originally built, the craftsmen that made these windows put a lot of time and care into making them — and they were made for each individual's home. So it's unsettling to see them being thrown into the landfill and ripped out."
Located next to his home where his lives with his family in Middletown, Fullan's workshop is a modest, clean, prefabricated structure he had delivered to his property. It houses a large insulated steamer he uses to remove old paint or glaze on window frames after he's removed them from a site. From out of the box, the frames are set on a 4-foot by 4-foot downdraft table where Fullan sands, applies epoxy and weatherstripping, paints, glazes and refits the glass.
A grating on the table's surface allows the sawdust and debris to fall below and out of the way.
Any sawing or general carpentry is done in the basement.
The entire operation started as independent jobs for Fullan, 34, following several years working for professional restoration firms. It has evolved into his own business called Forever Hung Wood Window Restoration, which he established in October.
On his table last week were two rectangular frames with a arched cutouts. The windows were removed from a home in Doylestown and were built around 1900.
"They've stood the test of time," Fullan said, "and with proper restoration they should last another hundred years."
While always having an affinity for working with his hands, the Bristol Township native initially landed an office job after graduating with a business degree from Temple University.
But it wasn't long before he realized that line of work wasn't for him.
While unemployed for a time, Fullan replaced the windows in his own home.
He enjoyed it so much that he decided to pursue the work professionally.
While working as a lead carpenter for WMG Historic Restoration, a New Jersey-based company, Fullan was tasked with bringing new life to about 130 windows at the Lazaretto Quarantine Station — a historic site in Tinicum that guarded Philadelphia from epidemic diseases and dates back to 1801.
"They were the oldest ones I've restored by far," Fullan said, adding that researching the history and backstory of his projects is always inspiring.
Last summer, prior to starting his business, Fullan landed a contract to restore 40 windows and a set of double doors at Johnson Hall in Hulmeville. The 1871 building, through its history, has housed a variety of tenants including a general store, a post office and a Masonic Lodge.
After being vacant for more than a year it was purchased by Alex Covrljan, who has rented out commercial spaces inside to a local fitness center, a boutique and a software company. He continues to renovate and plans on opening a coffee house inside later this year.
While he is thrilled to keep the building open as part of the community, he said borough officials and the historical society were very involved in the process, working with him to make sure the building retained its historic look and character.
A big part of that was restoring the windows, some of which are 10 feet tall.
"They were big, old and completely dilapidated," said Covrljan, speaking recently from outside Johnson Hall on Hulme Avenue. "They were just falling apart."
Finding a capable craftsman was not easy, he said, noting that he cut ties with more than one before meeting Fullan, who he called meticulous and "low drama."
"It's a very specialized business," Covrljan added. "It's not like going out and finding a plumber."
He said Fullan did a "phenomenal job" revitalizing the 140-year-old heart pine wood frames, each painted dark green.
Fullan says he looks forward to more local projects on the horizon, but he realizes if his business is to succeed, it will be because others are able to see beyond the cracks and deterioration — and peer through the panes of time, back to their windows' original glory.

What We Believe
There is one God who exists eternally as three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. While each is fully God and distinct from one another, there is only one God.
(Matthew 28:19; John 1:1-5; 2 Corinthians 13:14)
Scripture (God's Word)
Though God has made himself clearly known through all of his creation, the Scriptures (the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments) are the inspired words of God. The scriptures are without error in the original manuscripts and are the final authority in all areas of life.
(2 Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Peter 1:19-21)
God created all things from nothing and upholds all things by His power. Human beings were specially created by God in his image. As a result, all human beings have intrinsic value. When God completed his work of creation, he declared that everything that He had made was very good.
(Genesis 1:1,27,31; Colossians 1:16-17; Hebrews 11:3)
Humans have intentionally rejected God, resulting in both physical and spiritual death. As a result, sin has thoroughly corrupted all humans along with everything that God created, leaving humans in desperate need of God's salvation. Without his intervention, all humans are separated from God and without hope.
(Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12; 1 Corinthians 15:21-22)
The perfect life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ provided the only acceptable atonement for sins. Trusting in Jesus Christ as both Lord and Savior is the only route by which humans can be saved. By accepting Christ's sacrifice and his Lordship, our sins are forgiven, and we can be together with God again. Without this forgiveness, humans remain dead in their sins and cannot honor God. God's gracious offer of salvation comes through faith alone and is not dependent upon anything accomplished by humans.
(John 3:16; John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Romans 10:9; Ephesians 2:8-9)
Christian Living
A Christian saved by faith in Jesus Christ understands the weight of their sin and the extent of Jesus' rescue. This understanding results in an outpouring of love for Jesus and a yearning to be more and more like him, what Christians call being a disciple (follower) of Jesus Christ. The gradual progress in aligning our thoughts and actions with Christ is sanctification (being made holy). The result of this way of thinking and living are seen outwardly through love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Thus, the life of a disciple of Christ is marked by ever-growing faith that produces good deeds.
(Romans 6:11-14; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Galatians 5:22-25; Philippians 2:12-16; James 2:14-19)
The church exists to declare the good news (gospel) of Jesus Christ for the purpose of making disciples everywhere. Though the church is broad and composed of all believers in Christ, the work of the gospel is conducted primarily in local congregations. By meeting together, believers grow in their faith through the public reading of God's Word, community prayer, baptism, communion (the Lord's Supper), and congregational worship.
(Matthew 28:18-20; 1 Corinthians 10:16-17; Hebrews 10:24-25)
The Return of Christ
Through the fulfillment of biblical prophecy, Jesus Christ will return physically, visibly, and gloriously to judge the living and the dead. These events will lead to the ultimate reign of Christ in a new and glorious creation. Those who have rejected Christ will be subject to everlasting punishment apart from God, while those who have been saved through faith in Christ will live eternally in His presence.
(Titus 2:11-14; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 21:1-8)

Old-world landowners
Afanasy Ivanovich Tovstogub and his wife Pulcheria Ivanovna live alone in one of the remote villages, called Old Rus in the Little Russia. Their life is so quiet that a guest who has unexpectedly come to a low bar-house, drowning in the greenery of the garden, the passions and unsettling worries of the outside world do not seem to exist at all. The small rooms of the house are filled with all sorts of things, the doors are sung in different ways, the storerooms are filled with supplies, the preparation of which is constantly occupied by courtyards run by Pulcheria Ivanovna. Despite the fact that the farm is stealing from the clerks and lackeys, the blessed land produces only so much that Afanasy Ivanovich and Pulcheria Ivanovna do not notice theft at all.
The old people never had children, and all their affection concentrated on them. You can not look without participation in their mutual love, when with unusual care in their voice they turn to each other for "you", warning every desire and even not yet said affectionate word. They like to treat – and if not for the special properties of the Little Russian air, which helps digestion, then the guest, no doubt, after dinner would be instead of the bed lying on the table. Old people like to eat and themselves – and from early morning until late at night you can hear Pulcheria Ivanovna guessing the desires of her husband, tenderly offering one or the other
A sad event changes forever the life of this peaceful corner. Pulcheria Ivanovna's favorite cat, usually lying at her feet, disappears in the big forest behind the garden, where she is tortured by wild cats. Three days later, having lost her legs in search of a kitty, Pulcheria Ivanovna meets her favorite in the garden, which came out with a miserable meow from the weeds. Pulcheria Ivanovna feeds the feral and lean fugitive, wants to pat her, but the ungrateful creature throws herself into the window and disappears forever. From this day the old woman becomes thoughtful, boring and suddenly tells Afanasy Ivanovich that it was her death to come to her and they are soon destined to meet in the next world. The only thing the old woman regrets about is that there will be nobody to look after her husband. She asks the housekeeper Yavdokha to take care of Afanasy Ivanovich, threatening her whole family with God's punishment if she does not fulfill the punishment of the lady.
Pulcheria Ivanovna is dying. At the funeral, Athanasius Ivanovich looks strange, as if he does not understand all the wildness of what happened. When he returns to his house and sees how empty his room has become, he weeps heavily and inconsolably, and tears, like a river, flow from his dim eyes.
Five years have passed since that time. The house is decrepit without its mistress, Athanasius Ivanovich is weakened and doubled up against the former. But his longing does not fade with time. In all the objects surrounding him, he sees the deceased, tries to pronounce her name, but in half the word cramps twist his face, and the cry of a child breaks out from an already chilling heart.
Strange, but the circumstances of the death of Athanasius Ivanovich are similar to the death of his beloved wife. When he slowly walks along the path of the garden, suddenly he hears someone behind say in a clear voice: "Athanasius Ivanovich!" For a moment his face is quickened, and he says: "This Pulcheria Ivanovna is calling me!" This is his conviction, he obeys the will of an obedient child. "Put me near Pulcheria Ivanovna" – that's all he says before his death. Desire fulfilled it. The lordly house was emptied, the goods were robbed by the peasants and finally brought into the wind by a distant relative who was heir.

Jacqueline, Dan, and Luca
I had the privilege of taking Jaqueline and Dan's maternity photos and I was excited when Jacqueline asked me to be a part of their newborn photos as well! She has serious talent when it comes to interior design and I got to do a nursery shoot, as well, so that she had some content for the blog she's a part of, Room for Tuesday. You have to check out their site, and follow them on instagram. Everything I see on Room for Tuesday is flawless.
Anyway, Jacqueline and Dan were so real with us when we took their photos. They are a gorgeous family, but they made sure to tell us that not every aspect of parenting is gorgeous or glamorous. I appreciate when people can be open and real with me, I feel like it makes their session even more authentic and beautiful. Thankful I got to be a part of their journey into parenthood; they're doing such an amazing job with little Luca and I look up to them so much! See my favs below! xoxo

Teal'c (name given by his father which means "Strength" in Goa'uld language[2]) was born circa 1899[1] on a world under the domination of the Goa'uld System Lord Cronus. His father, Ronac, served as First Prime of Cronus. Because he failed to win an unwinnable battle, Ronac was murdered by Cronus, and Teal'c and his mother were exiled to Chulak (SG1: "Fair Game", "Threshold"). When he was a young boy, he received his first Prim'ta, the larval form of the Goa'ulds, which gave him a perfect health and long life. He then became a true Jaffa (SG1: "Children of the Gods", "Bloodlines").

"Reunion" (Stargate Atlantis)[edit]
While Colonel Carter is packing her stuff to leave Stargate Command for Atlantis, Teal'c visits her in her lab and encourages her for her new assignement. For him many things have been done for the last ten years, but now, she's needed in Atlantis. Carter feels that she's leaving with her work unfinished, but Teal'c says that her work will continue, only in a different place. Promising to not be so far away, they hug before Carter leaves through the Stargate to Atlantis.
"Midway" (Stargate Atlantis)[edit]
Stargate: Continuum (2008)[edit]
Teal'c is invited by the Tok'ra on the Tok'ra homeworld, along with SG-1 and Major General O'Neill, to watch the extraction ceremony of the last System Lord Ba'al who has been captured. After three hours passed to enumerate all of Ba'al's crimes, the Goa'uld symbiote is finaly extracted from the host and throwned to the floor.[3] Later, Teal'c leaves Stargate Command to go to lunch with his teammates on General O'Neill's invitation.
- In "Holiday", Teal'c was briefly played by Richard Dean Anderson as he has switched consciousness with Colonel O'Neill by touching the Ma'chello's soul switcher at the same moment. During a scene, Teal'c (Anderson) started to shave his head because of his Jaffa condition, while O'Neill (Judge) refused.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters Breakingviews) - Donald Trump will be the first to blink in his stare-down contest with China. The U.S. president and counterpart Xi Jinping will try to restart trade talks at this week's G20 summit. Trump may be hoping Beijing will back down, but he needs a deal more – and Xi is feeling combative.
Trump has reversed roles with China, now acting as the pursuer. The commander-in-chief lobbied Beijing to meet Xi when the world's top-20 economies gather in Japan this Friday. And he tamped down moves that could have impeded that effort. Vice President Mike Pence twice delayed a hard-line speech on China. Granted, the Commerce Department on Friday barred five Chinese firms involved in supercomputers from buying American products, but that kind of action would not be on Trump's radar.
China's hard line has thrown Tariff Man off his game. Other countries have tried to appease Trump amid tariff threats. Most recently, Mexico pledged to step up detainments of Central American migrants trying to cross into the United States to deter a plan to put levies on all Mexican imports – though it was a move agreed on weeks earlier.
Beijing initially tried that tack but has changed its tune. China recently suggested squeezing its supply of rare-earth minerals to the United States and is putting together an "unreliable entities list" of foreign companies that don't follow market rules. This month China fined Ford Motor's local joint venture $23.6 million for violating anti-monopoly laws.
The pushback is likely to derail Trump's desire to cast himself as a dealmaker. Mounting U.S. economic woes are adding to the pressure. There were twice as many farm bankruptcies in Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin in 2018 as there were in 2008, while dairy farmers have lost 50% of their market share in China. Engine-maker Cummins said tariffs will wipe out the gains from the 2017 tax cuts.
Time is also not on Trump's side. With the 2020 election looming, the president has incentives to put proposed levies on another $300 billion in Chinese imports on hold. With the Federal Reserve projecting GDP growth of 2% next year, Trump may be pushed to accept a deal that doesn't include substantive changes to China's record on intellectual-property theft or forced technology transfers. He will spin it as a victory, but it will be a superficial one.

How to Mystify Customers with Last Minute Halloween Marketing
Posted on 10/29/2012
You may have outgrown the age to trick-or-treat, that doesn't mean your company can't get into the Halloween spirit. While most of the holiday activities are geared toward a younger audience, Halloween is the perfect opportunity to pull out some of your best marketing strategies. Show your customers some cool tricks that will certainly treat them this Halloween. Here are some last minute ways that you can embrace the spooky spirit. And instead of scaring away your customers, you'll have them hypnotized by your ghoulish get-up and mystifying marketing tactics.
Villainous Videos
Here's a way to showcase the creative and fun side of your business. Customers like to see the personality behind the operation, and this is your chance to capture it all on video. If your company throws a costume party, give your customers a glimpse into some of the funniest or craziest costumes to showcase the fun side. You can post the videos in your social media to really get some buzz.
Or, use the video as an opportunity to promote your business using a Halloween theme. Get your sales team to dress as zombies and your human resources department to run from the zombie apocalypse, or some other crazy scenario. For an added bonus, develop a storyline that ties in your products and services to your video. Plus, your actors and actresses (employees) will get a fun break from their normal routines.
Ghoulish Giveaways
Not all of your customers have a reason to go trick-or-treating. But let's face it no one outgrows candy. Everyone loves a treat, so why not put together a gift bag for your customers. You could just have them available for your walk-ins on Halloween or hand deliver to your best customers. And as if you needed more reason, chocolate has been proven to boost moods. So go ahead and sweeten up your customers—literally.
Luring Logos
You're never too old to carve a pumpkin. And at your company, you can carve pumpkins with a purpose. Hold a contest with employees to see who can carve the best company-themed pumpkin. Prizes will help get people into the spirit. Once they're completed, find ways to display them to your customers. Feature them in your video, display them outside the office or send them home with your employees to display.
Or, another fun idea is to have your business carve pumpkins as gifts for your customers. They'll love the creative thought that went into the gift and display it for everyone to see. Plus, it makes a great outing for your business to deliver the pumpkins around town. After all, nothing beats the face-to-face interaction with customers.

I ventured out today and did exactly what I had hoped to…I raided the Sephora store, went out to lunch and came home to a few packages from Amazon.com waiting for me. I always online shop with special pets in mind, so with a few rendezvous pending in my immediate future, the first round of new toys arrive just in time.

Always a popular choice among conscious shoppers, this Ghanaian tote, woven from elephant grass, not only provides practicality but a chic style! It features soft black leather-wrapped handles for comfort.
The totes are tightly woven and can stand up to years of usage while still remaining beautiful.
Measures 18"L x 9"W x 18"T.
The weaving of "market baskets" in Ghana has been a traditional skill for many generations. Because the soil around Bolgatanga is not fertile enough to sustain agriculture, the people of the region rely upon handicraft products to supplement their income. The baskets sold by Swahili Modern are Fair Trade and are a reliable source of income for women weavers and their families.

A Speyside "double" - the first sip
A 45 minute drive from home saw me in Dufftown in the heart of Speyside's whisky country to sample my own "double"; the hills of Meikle Conval and Little Conval which are well seen from the town. The weather was bright and cold but a rapid increase in the strength of the wind to violent storm force was forecast for the evening so I wanted to be well home before it got too wild.
Dufftown sits at the confluence of the Dullan Water and the River Fiddich and is surrounded by well-known distilleries such as Glenfiddich, The Balvenie and Mortlach among others. In fact, there are so many distilleries and bond-warehouses that it's claimed Dufftown raises more revenue for the government per head of population than anywhere else in the UK!
Due to the forecast westerly winds I wanted to walk the higher ground from west to east in order to have the push at my back rather than slogging into a gale. This conveniently also meant that I'd have the sun at my back too. A relatively new path, part of the local path network runs alongside the B9009 road for part of the way to the start of the track up Meikle Conval, though in summer the road is quite busy. On the way I passed Dufftown Golf Club, one of the highest in the country. The second of the hills I was aiming for, Little Conval, can be seen above the golf course.
After a few kilometres of road walking into a stiff breeze I approached the base of Meikle Conval (big conical hill). A straightforward climb up a vehicle track gives access to the domed summit area, when I was quite suddenly exposed to a blasting westerly wind which was as cold as it was strong, but also exposed to a great view.....
over to the Corbett of Ben Rinnes , a fine hill visible from a wide swathe of the north east of Scotland. If it was windy at a modest height of 571 metres (Meikle Conval is a "Marilyn"), the cloud banner tearing off the summit of Ben Rinnes indicated that it would be even more windy up there - and that this was definitely not a day for the higher hills.
I didn't linger but headed off over towards Little Conval, having to "lean on the wind" as it was behind but also to my left side as it compressed around the shoulder of Ben Rinnes - but what a fine, wild day it was to be on the hill for a whisky country "double" !

Wow, nice photos, sometimes the landscapes look like Norway (not this one) I would love to have Norwegian whisky distilleries in my town, but we only have the aquavite distilleries, have you tried aquavite Ian?ReplyDelete
Thanks Rolf, we're lucky to have the distilleries so close, it's a pity they don't do "factory outlets" ! I have tried aquavite - very effective on a cold night :o) ...... and the name "whisky" comes from the Gaelic "uisge bheatha" - which means Water of Life - the same translations as aquavite so quite related :o)ReplyDelete
Kind Regards
As always, very fine images Ian, and a narrative that has me wondering if the last baptisms I did in the kirk raised a smile amongst those who enjoy a "dram" - I did, after all, refer to what was in the font as the "living water" - hmm, close enough eh? It was a "spirited" occasion. Haha! Warm wishes. Duncan.ReplyDelete
Haha - well, it would be an interesting baptism if the font was filled with "uisge bheatha" Duncan!ReplyDelete
Warm wishes

Most travellers understand how to uncover the cheapest airfare or hostel place. But with regards to tips on how to journey along with your cash and the way to accessibility it, most pei attractions have a detail or two to understand.
There isn't any single very best solution to vacation along with your income or for making positive it is usually available.

Be sure you program ahead and buy these goods in advance of leaving residence.
You may need effortless use of your funds, but it really is just not a wise strategy to carry a considerable amount of money of money close to along with you. It is usually not a smart idea to have the bulk of your respective vacation funds close to along with you in funds kind. When you get mugged or your baggage stolen, your holiday break could be ruined.
You should disperse your cash all over when travelling. Some should be placed inside your wallet, also with your vacation funds belt. However, you ought to keep a spare $100 or one hundred Euros hidden in your backpack. This way in case you do get mugged, you'll however have funds to tide you about.
A small supply of community currency is essential to have after you arrive inside of a new state.

To investigate emergence/development of poor school readiness and/or behavioural or emotional problems in pre-school age children with strabismus. These factors may influence the peer victimisation reported in school-age children with strabismus, glasses or occlusion treatment.
Participants: Three year olds in a national cohort of children born in the UK in 2000/1 (Millennium Cohort Study), identified as having 'isolated' strabismus (without associated neurological/neurodevelopmental disorders). Outcomes: Bracken test of formal school readiness. By convention, the lowest decile of age and gender standardised scores indicates poor school readiness. Children with lowest 3% Bracken test scores and/or known neurological or neurodevelopmental conditions were excluded. Parent-reported behavioural or emotional problems. Lowest decile scores on the Strengths and Difficulties questionnaire (SDQ) indicates poor 'ability' (conduct, hyperactivity, peers, emotional, prosocial domains). Analysis: Logistic regression with adjustment for treatment (glasses, occlusion, or surgery) as well as birthweight, gestational age, birth order, and maternal factors (education, age at time of child's birth, ethnicity and occupation-based socio-economic status).
258 of 11,583 (weighted 2%) of 3 year olds had 'isolated' strabismus. Poor school readiness was associated with strabismus independent of the effect of treatment; OR=1.9 [95% confidence interval 1.1, 3.2]. Poor SDQ 'peers' score was associated with strabismus in univariable analysis but the effect was attenuated and the association not significant after adjustment for treatment and other factors. However, children wearing glasses (with or without strabismus) were more likely to have a poor hyperactivity score (OR=2.0 [1.3, 3.1]) and poor peers score (overall; OR=1.7 [1.1, 2.6], girls; OR=2.3 [1.3, 4.3]), independent of strabismus and other factors.
Early support for children with strabismus may be required to minimise its impact on school readiness, which appears to be independent of a 'social/cosmetic' effect. A different approach is likely to be required to address parental concerns about social and behavioural problems in preschool age children who wear glasses.

It's been a while since I last wrote about anything remotely worth writing about ,because not much as happened that is worth writing about really. Just the usual thank you.
We plod on through life doing all the boring everyday stuff that we have to do, work,washing up and on the odd occasion we do something that we consider worth while,fun and creative,this is one such occasion so I am writing about it.
All winter I had been making the usual earthenware things that I love, for the weald and downland museum and stuff to sell. In the hope that my mate Tina would invite me again to help her fire her woodfiring kiln, I was making in stoneware too. This actually came true and we were making a start on the 10th March a Wednesday to fire on that coming Saturday.
The weather in the winter has been very wet and Tina's garden was looking like the Battle of Paschendale on a good day,the communication trenches were flooded and the saps were in disarray.
Tina had already packed half the kiln over the past weeks, I was given a whole stack to fill, which in a kiln this size was quite a lot of space to fill. A lot of my stuff was flat ware and I decided not to pack it,mainly to try it at a lower less likely to warp it temperature. My bigger stuff was packed into the dome of the kiln,( the joy of a big kiln).
We finally finished glazing and packing on Friday and were ready for a very early start the following morning at 4.30 ooer. We had the use of a magic gazebo this is what it looked like,a bit like a resident of Windscale glowing in the dark.
Long suffering hubby of Tina,Graham and I lit the kiln at 4.30, we had set an overnight fire which was glowing a little and had kept the heat at 150 c. Slowly the dawn came up and lo it was misty.
When the patrols came in back to the trenches they reported that all was quite in the Westphalian trenches they were probably asleep, the odd flare went up, generally quite. Slowly stoked, my worries about the damp firewood were unfounded at this early stage and probably did a good job holding back the rise.
The passive damper at the base of the chimney let colder air in almost stopping the flame from progressing up the chimney,causing the kiln to reduce.
Tina had been given large buckets of Linseed oil waste ,that was spooned into the fireboxes,it burnt really well and is 100 per cent vegetable, flax for linen seeds for allsorts of uses.
Eventually we reached temperature as usual the pyro was out but useful for showing the rise.It had only taken 14 hours to fire and we felt a little deflated, as we sat down to our take away curry,which soon inflated us again, powerful stuff.
We waited until the following Thursday,Tina had been sending me updates on the decreases and when we opened up it was 25 degrees a pleasant mid day temperature.
There were over 300 pots in the kiln apart from a few boring ones and a few glaze runs they were all really good. The hard bit is still to come, selling them,
A very good firing .

Season 2, Episode 13: 'The Word'
How long can "The Handmaid's Tale" go on like this? The show has had a successful season, by some measures: After a first season that covered the entirety of Margaret Atwood's novel, the writers moved past a few excessively brutal early episodes to tell an original and often gripping story. Scripts examined the geopolitics of Gilead and psychoanalyzed the heretofore inscrutable Serena Joy. The acting remained superb. But, by the time Offred got her second chance to escape, in Episode 11, the plot was devolving into an exercise in Sisyphean futility.
The Season 2 finale, "The Word," meandered a bit before coalescing around our heroine's third opportunity to leave Gilead in just 13 episodes. Offred's sudden flight is enabled by Rita and her network of Marthas, who apparently have been radicalized to the extent that they're willing to set fire to a home across the way from the Waterfords' in order to provide cover for Offred and Holly. Even Serena blesses their departure, reluctantly bidding farewell to the precious baby she calls Nicole because she finally realizes that Gilead is no place to raise a girl.
[Read our interview with Yvonne Strahovski on the harrowing season finale.]
Serena's sacrifice seems to be what inspires Offred's alarming decision, in the closing scene, not to escape with the baby. In a convenient — and genuinely surprising — twist, Captain Lawrence decides to get Emily out of Gilead, too, after scaring her half to death with a mysterious road trip soundtracked by Annie Lennox's "Walking on Broken Glass." When the handmaids' getaway car pulls up, Emily jumps in and cries, "June!" But June isn't done being Offred yet. She thrusts Holly into her friend's hands and says: "Call her Nicole. Tell her I love her." The vehicle drives off, and the season's final shot is of Offred pulling up her red hood and disappearing into the rainy night.
The implication is that she's staying to rescue her older daughter, Hannah. "Maybe you'll meet her one day," Offred tells Holly, referring to Hannah, as they wait for their ride. After a moment's hesitation, she modifies her statement: "You're going to meet her one day." A season obsessed with motherhood ends with the show's protagonist giving up a chance at freedom in the ultimate act of maternal self-sacrifice.
It's a poignant conclusion, and one that gives the season a certain symmetry: In the early episodes, Offred was so desperate to get to Canada that she forced a kind stranger to hide her in his apartment, in a selfish, ineffective move that ended up costing him his life and destroying his family. Now she seems to understand that the only life she needs to risk is her own.
The question is, what — besides a third season of "The Handmaid's Tale" — could possibly come of Offred's bravery? Does she really have a better chance of getting Hannah out of Gilead from the inside, where she is subject to the Waterfords' whims? She must have plenty of confidence in the Commander's infatuation with her (and in Serena's allyship, which has been fickle at best) to assume that he hasn't contacted the authorities — and that she won't be mortally punished for smuggling a baby out of the country. Her decision may be heroic, but it's not what I would call smart. And that's frustrating, from a character-development perspective, because intelligence is a hallmark of the Offred we know.
Serena, who spent the season vacillating between extremes of righteousness and venality, is an even less consistent character. Two episodes after she defied her husband to save the life of baby Charlotte, she helped him rape Offred, just to expedite childbirth by a day or two. In "The Word," Serena is a saint again. Driven by an emotional appeal from Offred, who discovered poor Eden's annotated Bible hidden among her things, Serena gathers the other wives to plead with the Council that girls be allowed to read scripture. When she realizes the men are patronizing their spouses, Serena begins to read aloud from the Book of John.
As she knows, reading while female can result in the swift and apparently sloppy amputation of a finger. What she doesn't seem to anticipate is her husband's refusal to bail her out. "Rules can be bent for a high-ranking commander," Waterford tells Offred, after floating the idea that she could stay in his home with Holly and they could "try again" to conceive. Just a few moments earlier, he had explained that he didn't save his wife from her crude punishment because, as he put it: "We all have our roles to play. Serena needed to be reminded of hers."

Every part of this story line is a reminder that Gilead's patriarchs are hypocrites: Even though they made this society's rules, the commanders only follow the ones that suit them — and they wouldn't dream of enacting a reform that didn't benefit them. Unfortunately, the narrative also catalyzes another wild swing of Serena's moral pendulum. The upshot is that she has become so erratic as to feel more like a series of plot devices than a real person with comprehensible motives. Generous as it is of her to let Holly go, it's hard to believe that her selfish, all-consuming fixation on having her very own baby got snipped off along with that finger.
More comprehensible is the risk Commander Lawrence takes to liberate Emily. He's a brusque, off-putting guy, to be sure. And it would have been hard to blame her for killing the man who dreamed up the Colonies, as it seems she would have done if he had gone through with their first Ceremony. What saves Lawrence's life, perversely, is his guilty conscience. Gilead's economic mastermind, he appears to have entered its leadership as an opportunist, not as a true believer, and he seems to find the results of the revolution largely appalling. Although it would be impossible for him to redeem himself, smuggling the woman who stabbed Aunt Lydia out of the country at least makes him an intriguing character. I'm certainly hoping we'll see more of him — and whichever wing of the resistance he's presumably connected with — in Season 3.
All in all, "The Word" was an action-packed but not especially promising finale. It incorporated enough shocking twists to rival late-period "Scandal," and that resemblance highlights a major problem "The Handmaid's Tale" shares with any given Shonda Rhimes show that has jumped the shark: So many reversals of fortune can happen within a single hour that it's possible to get to the end of a season and feel as though you've wound up back where you started. Life in a dystopia may be repetitive, but a TV drama about life in a dystopia can only thrive on this chaotic brand of monotony for so long.
Blessed Fruits:
• Is Aunt Lydia dead? The last time we see her, she's still grunting and gasping, so I'm guessing she'll be on the mend in Season 3. Or maybe I just hope she'll be on the mend because I can't imagine this show without the great and fearsome Ann Dowd.
• I figure that Offred's Season 3 arc will begin with getting herself out of the trouble she's in at the end of this episode, before moving on to her quest to free Hannah and finally get them both out of Gilead for good. Lawrence and Serena may both be poised to foment a revolution from within the ruling classes. Emily and Holly/Nicole may well meet up with Luke and Moira (who have kind of disappeared in recent episodes) in Canada. But I'm terrible at making predictions, so I'd rather hear what everyone else is expecting to see in Season 3.
• As much as I love Elisabeth Moss's performance, I would like to see "The Handmaid's Tale" spend less time on Offred and more time with some of the show's great supporting characters next season. Until she escapes for real — which probably can't happen until the series's final few episodes — there's not much she can do besides spin her wheels.

The areas I am interested in addressing are: (1) how do microbes use toxic substances for growth (i.e. what is the mechanism)? (2) what is the distribution and abundance of the genes that encode these properties in various environments?; (3) what is the role of these organisms in the cycling of these elements in the environment?; (4) when and how did these metabolic enzymes evolve? and (5) how can we develop the metabolic enzymes as biosensors for the detection of these compounds?

Separation Inspiration - Short Biography of Mister W.C. Wright
he was a ranch dip kind of guy.
he liked cheap breadsticks and tiny samples of grocery store cheese.
he drove a 1987 lincoln towncar with keyless entry
and he manufactured drywall for a living.
he loved dinosaurs.
he wore steel toe boots and stiff shirts
and his hands
were always crispy.
he lived out in the desert,
in a crumbly, brown sugar house surrounded by
thirsty evergreens.
his cooking tasted like pine cones.
his shirts smelled like old spice.
on the eve of his 20th anniversary,
he quit his job two hours into the shift.
he dropped his safety glasses into the gypsum
and watched them sink slowly
as if they were melting
into folds of old skin.
he walked away
and didn't bother clocking out.
he didn't wash his hands and he didn't smile.
he just left.
the day his wife disappeared
was the day before her 20 year high school reunion.
he had come home
to a cage full of hungry parakeets
and a frightened dog,
nervously weaving itself,
in and out of the blinds.
she had walked away
and she hadn't bothered clocking out.
she just washed her hands, smiled,
and left.
he watered the evergreens for the first time that day.
and when he finished watering them, he cleaned the guest room.
he cleaned it meticulously, sweeping every corner
with a damp broom.
the motion of the broom kept his mind at bay.
and for the time being, he enjoyed the
mechanical repetitions.
eventually, while sweeping,
he found
between the rolltop and the divan
his old
geography project from school.
it was a plaster volcano.
hanging heavy in his hands,
mounted to thick plywood,
covered in hardened dirt,
and flecked with tiny, plastic dinosaurs
this little volcano
stirred something
inside him
long forgotten.
he hadn't made anything worth while in years.
and suddenly, like a crack to the spine
he felt like dropping his safety glasses
into the gypsum
all over again.
the day after her disappearance
he never returned to work.
and for 7 years now
he has been making life-size plaster dinosaurs
for roadside exhibits and truck stop gas stations.
every dinosaur measures 20 feet exactly,
each is painted in silver and purple,
and out of the six hundred models he's made
no two

Questions & Answers
Do you think it's best to have hypnotherapy in the middle of a stressful situation or afterwards?
Asked by nnerbalancehypnotherapy
12 answers
Top answer
Although it depends largely on the nature of the situation, hypnotherapy at least can relax you and also help you to think more clearly by making you focus on the real issues. It can also help you eliminate the stress and channel your energy to dealing with the situation rationally. Following the situation hypnotherapy can help you put the stress, the worry, the drama and the effects of the situation behind you and move forward.
So answer is , hypnotherapy can help you during and after a situation.

I'd recommend the same, getting support during a stressful time is very important and will help you cope much better and generate a good response in future situations. Any time is a good time for therapy, as long as you feel there are aspects in your life that could still be better!
Your unconscious mind will pick from the session what it feels is best to deal with at any given time. Any time for Hypnotherapy is good.
If you are in a stressful situation and you have the opportunity to have hypnotherapy, I would advise doing so as it can help to ease the stress. There is no need to wait until the stress is over, the sooner the better.
All the best, Ema.
Hi Gianna, sorry to hear you are going through a stressful time, assuming you are referring to yourself of course. Of course that depends on the situation but Hypnotherapy can be very successful in helping people through such times by giving you coping strategies and tools to use. Hypnosis can also help give you the understanding you require to prevent and/or work with future obstacles! I would always recommend a free consultation for a client enquiring in this scenario so that both therapist and client can get to know each other and see if they are able to work together toward a positive outcome! IF it IS you I am based in several areas and would be happy to meet you for a free consultation. I also have a pack and CD I give out and no hypnotherapy takes place on the first meeting.
I can also arrange a phone consultation and write a personalised session that is then recorded for you only, and posted!

Thank you all for your responses. I agree that stress is best dealt with sooner rather than later as people can easily get "stuck" in stress. I personally see stress, anxiety, etc as a moment of opportunity to change perspective and learn techniques (such as NLP and Emotional Brain Training) to clear away any limiting beliefs and deal with the symptoms of stress in the moment. Once the brain gets the message that it has choices in how it thinks and perceives things, the world becomes a much more enjoyable place.
As said by others, both; however as I also do EFT (the tapping therapy), I would recommend that you learn how to handle the situations as they arise with it, and then follow with hypnotherapy for a complete resolution.
Hi Gianna
I would recommend to deal with it as soon as you can. Stress is a state of our body and mind when we feel we don't have enough recourses to deal with a situation.
Hypnotherapy can help you to find strength within you to deal with the situation on a new level as well as see it from a different perspective. You may start feeling calmer, more balanced and peaceful.

If you learn how to use "Auto-Suggestion" which is a technique that Dave Elman pioneered then you can use hypnosis to instantly overcome stress and anxiety. Otherwise you can learn self-hypnosis and program your mind to eliminate the "triggers" that cause the stressful situations.
I think during as we can work on the way you deal with stress and you will see result instantly this way
Regards Diana
Hi Gianna, it really depends on how stressful the situation, most Hypnotherapists like myself also practice NLP as well which would help you to look at the situation in a better light, hypnotherapy is great for dealing with stress.
Kind regards
Georgia x
Both. It will help you through the stressful situation and prevent it from happening again.
Best regards.

Beer Popsicles, Anyone? The Bar Where You Can Drink Your Beer & Bite It Too
The White Owl Brewery has upped the drinks and desserts combination to another level with their invention of the beer popsicle. Sounds crazy? Read on.
Ice, Ice, Baby
Having beer is no longer just an activity of chugging it down, alternately between being silly and dashing to the loo. You may now also slurp on it at the White Owl Brewery.
As part of their dessert section, this craft brewery in Lower Parel freezes their popular French apple cider beer with sugar solution, to make the popsicle. This is then served on a layer of butter cookie crumble to lend the savoury crunch.
It tastes like frozen sweet beer, which is what most beer-lovers seek. A stick comes at INR 195 {minus taxes}.
So, We're Saying…
Boozy desserts give the extra kick which a regular drink can't. Popsicle over pint? It's got our vote.

Nissen Fundoplication for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

After Hours, Holidays and Weekends
(608) 262-2122
(800) 323-8942
Tell the paging operator your surgeon's name and ask to speak to the doctor on call.
The following information will help you prepare you and your child for nissen fundoplication for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) at American Family Children's Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin.
You may have already received the information below during your child's pre-operative appointments. If you were already given the following printed information, the links on the left side of this page include more information to help you prepare.
If you have any questions, please contact us using the information in the right column of this page.
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
What is gastroesophageal reflux (GERD)?
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is the spilling of acidic stomach contents into the esophagus (the swallowing tube). The exact cause is not known. It seems to be due to poor function of the valve-like connection between the esophagus and the stomach that should prevent this. Infants often outgrow reflux, but in some cases they do not, and medical or surgical treatment is needed.
Who gets GERD?
GERD is common in infants. About half of babies have reflux, but most will outgrow it. The reflux becomes a problem, or a disease, when there are problems with pneumonia or vomiting. If not treated, the breathing or vomiting problems caused by the reflux can harm your child.
How is GERD diagnosed?
If your doctor thinks your child has GERD, your doctor will order an x-ray of the esophagus called an upper gastrointestinal (upper GI) series. The doctor will be looking for narrowing (stricture) of the esophagus. A stricture is a tight area of scarring caused by constant irritation by acid from the stomach.
Another test that can be done is called a pH Probe study. This consists of placing a small wire with a sensor that can measure acid level in the esophagus. The tube will be in place for about 18 hours. It may be uncomfortable for your child, but it will not hurt. After one or both of these studies is done, your doctor will decide the best treatment for your child.
How is the decision made that surgery is needed?
The decision to do surgery is made if medication does not help the symptoms of reflux in your child. If your child has problems from the GERD - such as pneumonia, esophagitis (inflammation of the esophagus) or vomiting - and these problems are not improved with medication, surgery is needed.
Nissen Fundoplication Surgery
Tips for the Day of Surgery - What to Bring
Bring your child's favorite comfort things:
- Blankets
- Stuffed animal
- Small toys etc.
When will my child be able to go home?
Typical stay in the hospital is 1-2 days, but this can be longer depending on your child's health history. They should be tolerating goal feedings before going home and their pain should be controlled with oral/G tube medications.
What care is needed at home after surgery?
- Your child can take a shower 24 hours after surgery and can bathe, swim (in pool or a lake) one week after surgery. If your child had a G tube placed at the time of the Nissen surgery, your child should wait 2 weeks to bathe or swim. Your child's doctor will inform you if there are any restrictions to showering/bathing/swimming.
- Your child can participate in activities when he or she is comfortable doing so. If something causes pain, your child should not do this activity and wait a few days before trying again. Your child's doctor will inform you if there are any other restrictions you should follow.
- Your child can eat any foods that are appropriate for age.
- Most children will need some pain medicine for a few days after coming home. Often acetaminophen (Tylenol®) or ibuprofen (Motrin®) is enough to control the pain and soreness.
When should I call the surgery team?
You should call the surgeon if your child has a temperature over 101 F, vomiting, diarrhea, increased or different abdominal pain or is not eating. You should also call if your child has an incision that looks redder, swollen, or begins to drain fluid.
When do I have a follow up appointment?
You will see either your child's doctor or one of our nurse practitioners 2-4 weeks after surgery, unless we tell you otherwise.

What is always at stake in all of this is the relationship between our THOUGHTS and our ACTIONS.
January 16, 1920 brought the Constitutional Amendment of 'Prohibition' into the national spotlight and put it all on the public stage. But just 'passing laws' about anything means virtually nothing: How we 'Enforce new laws means everything.' This was always the case with Prohibition and it is absolutely the same case that is still waiting to be seen when it comes to Obama's 923 (now 924) Executive Orders. (1)
Between January of 1920 and December of 1933, when the Eighteenth Amendment was 'in force' there were massive changes made to the entire nation, because of how this 'Amendment' was or was not enforced. What is not debatable is what changed under the egis of this attempted power-grab that sought to give rights to some that could absolutely rule over the personal-preferences of others: This arbitrarily-authority split the nation right down the middle and set up an undeclared civil war. Prohibition was then acting as a filter for all behavior, supposedly by force of law that silenced at least half the people in this country, when it came to what they could or could NOT do in their own lives. In today's world this amounted to what still transpires today as outright censorship and the tyranny of the "majority-rule" (mob-rule) by government fiat. This can easily be seen here in 'The Forgotten History of Unpopular People', (The real story of Free-Speech a 12 minute video). (2)
What Prohibition did bring into this country in the thirteen years that it was 'actively destroying choice' was obscene. These new Prohibitions were creating opportunities for criminality to undermine the whole nation, because it was a rotten-law servicing those that believed they 'KNEW' how everyone else must behave.
This led directly to massive and coast-to-coast criminal mobs that are still with us and with the world today. During Prohibition alcohol related deaths increased substantially, while criminal empires became the new order of the day in all the major cities. The courts in most of those cities were literally over-run with alcohol related petty fines, to the point that many of them had to hold massive hearings for entire courtrooms filled with offenders who just paid fines, fifty to a hundred at a time, and then went back into the world, because it was impossible to even begin to prosecute so many individuals. This also helped the crime families to rise as most of the cops became accustomed to the bribes that enabled everything to work—just as they always have in fourth world countries the world over.
The biggest legacy that PROHIBITION bequeathed to the USA and the world was Hypocrisy on a scale, rarely seen before. And it is that passive-acceptance of national-duplicity that has kept the public SILENT for all these many, many years!
"The LAW" itself was undermined and diminished while criminal activity gained a whole new respect among a badly battered population. All that in just thirteen years of criminally-corrupted prohibitions against something that was supposed to involve an individual's personal choice—but which became a government MANDATE to change the habits of an entire nation by FORCE of law. In the end the LAW itself lost, and the public eventually went back to the world without official government censorship. But the damage was already done; and this cynical view still pervades the society today with its corrupted Victorian 'entitlements' in so many areas today from medicine and education all the way through all the media that still attempts to warp the views of anyone who does NOT agree with the currently-criminal government-lies.
But there is a much larger part to this if you really think about it. What Prohibition created was the thought-form for 'Big-Brother.' So when it came time for people to chose between doing what the government demanded of the people; versus what ordinary people were demanding that the government NOT do to them: The people thanks to their reliance upon Big Brother made all the wrong choices. What the hell am I talking about? Oh just "The global-bankers & politicians-crimes-against the world"! The world had this huge problem, because our thieving and corrupted bankers, lawyers, and politicians were raping the world and destroying the money-supply—wholesale and the public still in fear of big-government became the latest 'deer caught in the headlights' of this global-collapse.
The choice of "What to do" came up; and the herd went along with Big-Brother and Big-Sis, and basically began to write "TICKETS to HELL" for all the rest of us. However there was one nation that did NOT just go along. They looked at their situation which was actually worse than our own and they got MAD! They said "Hell NO!" and they did what we have so far absolutely REFUSED TO DO under any circumstance—they threw out their leadership and arrested the bankers!
There was no civil war! There were no armed confrontations in the streets, and not only that but they are today doing better than EVERYONE ELSE who was contaminated by the global-liars that have destroyed billions of lives. Here's their story in a video nutshell. (3)
So there is a way to defeat these creatures but ONLY if ordinary people get MAD, and DEMAND the changes that have now been PROVEN to work as they did in Iceland. FEAR is your basic enemy, and cowardice will get you killed: Life demands that we rise up and throw the bastards out!

Predictive modeling can be a powerful tool for understanding how multiple factors contribute to an event. As outlined in previous posts, Context Matters created a model that used variables from oncology assessments by the Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) to identify the most influential variables for a positive reimbursement decision by that agency and used the model to demonstrate the impact that economics (i.e., patient access schemes and ICERs) have in predicting positive SMC decisions for oncology drugs. However, as discussed in our previous post, Understanding Predictive Modeling, not all models are created equal. One measure of a predictive model's quality is its ability to deliver actionable results and insights. If a model is not able to inform the initial hypothesis and provide a path forward, it is just an academic exercise. But what does it mean for a predictive model to be "useful" and to deliver "actionable results"? What are some of the implications and use cases for predictive models of Health Technology Assessment (HTA) agency decisions?
Predictive Modeling: Understanding the Outliers
In predictive modeling, it is essential to evaluate how good the model fits the underlying data. The closer the model is to fitting the underlying data, the stronger the model. We recently built a model to predict Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) reimbursement decisions for oncology health technology assessments (HTAs). Our binary model, that is the model that attempted to predict a positive versus negative SMC reimbursement decision, was able to correctly predict 75% of the oncology decisions in the data set. By statistical standards, 75% is considered a "good" level of prediction. But what happened in the other 25% of assessments? Examining where the model "got it wrong" is an important tool in understanding the data and knowing how to apply the learnings and insights.
OPDIVO: The High Stakes of Comparative Efficacy
The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Bristol-Myers Squibb stock dropped dramatically on August 5th, 2016. This occurred after clinical trial results indicated that BMS's immunotherapy drug OPDIVO® (nivolumab) failed to demonstrate a clinical improvement compared to chemotherapy in patients with newly-diagnosed lung cancer.
The financial market reaction to the clinical trial results highlights the growing importance of comparative efficacy research, both for obtaining approval and market access and, increasingly, for remaining competitive and driving profits. The impact of this announcement shows that the stakes are higher than just obtaining regulatory approval. Clinical trial results can have immediate and significant consequences before any regulatory decisions are even made. Here we discuss the importance of comparative efficacy research on market access, pricing, profitability, and competition.
Understanding Predictive Modeling
With the rise of "big data," predictive analytics has become increasingly popular. Predictive modeling, the process of using data to predict an unknown event, allows for predictions to be made based on multiple complex factors. Predictive modeling has been touted as the key that unlocks performance increases in everything from customer service, crime prevention, financial services, to population health. Within the pharmaceutical industry, "big data" shows promise for improving the drug development process (e.g., identification of genetic targets and the development of immunotherapies) and demystifying reimbursement decision-making.
Creating a Global Context for Value
Drug pricing and valuation, particularly in the United States, is becoming increasingly contentious as prices rise and patients and payers struggle to pay for new treatments. New value frameworks by U.S. organizations are drawing both praise and criticism, but how do they compare to countries like the UK, Germany and Canada who use HTA to evaluate cost-effectiveness assessments?
How are Comparators Changing for Biologics in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)?
While biologics are emerging as the standard of care for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), they continue to be compared to methotrexate frequently in health technology assessments (HTAs). We examined comparators used by HTA agencies for RA drugs, both tumor necrosis factor (TNF) drugs and disease-modifying, anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), and compared each drug's HTA decision to its European label. We also assessed the change in comparator categories for RA drugs over time.
Regulatory Restrictions on Biologic Rheumatoid Arthritis Drugs
A drug's market share is dependent on several external factors, one of which is the drug's health technology assessment (HTA).
