Producer Dan Halsted Inks First-Look Development Deal With Fox TV Studios (Exclusive)
The Manage-ment founder has inked a deal with FtvS, with whom he recently made USA pilot "Over/Under."
Fox Television Studios has made another sizable addition to its roster.
Mere weeks after signing both the Weitz brothers and Laurence Fishburne's shingle, the studio behind such series as USA's Burn Notice and AMC's The Killing has inked a first-look development deal with Garden State producer and Manage-ment founder Dan Halsted.
"Dan and I go back years together – he was the studio executive on a movie I produced called The Hand that Rocks the Cradle. Since those days, he's assembled a sensational roster of edgy writers and filmmakers, and he's also proved ingenious at jumpstarting features and television shows," said FtvS president David Madden.
He continued, "Coming off our joint USA pilot, Over/Under, which turned out wonderfully, we all felt we wanted to extend the relationship. We're thrilled to be working with Dan to develop compelling new series with the highly respected writers he is bringing into our fold."
Adds Halsted, who brings with him rich relationships with both the agencies and a-list directors: "They're really making great television, and they can go everywhere as a studio ... This is like making a bet on one of the new, cool studios in town."
Through Manange-ment, for which Halsted serves as CEO, he represents a growing collection of award-winning film and TV writers and directors, who are already develop primarily cable fare with Halsted and FtvS. Among them: Reggie Bythewood (Notorious), Sheila Callaghan (United States of Tara), André and Maria Jacquemetton (Mad Men), Andrea King (Sex and the City), George Mastras (Breaking Bad) and Joe Weisberg (Falling Skies).
Prior to Manage-ment, Halsted produced a series of film and TV efforts, including The Virgin Suicides, S.W.A.T., UPN's Platinum and TNT's Witchblade. He also teamed with Oscar-winning filmmaker Oliver Stone to launch Illusion Entertainment, a production company responsible for such films as Nixon, Any Given Sunday and the award-winning documentary The Last Days of Kennedy and King for TBS.

The HP/Autonomy Debacle
Hewlett-Packard apparently got taken to the cleaners when it paid over $10 billion for a company called Autonomy. It had to take an $8.8 billion writedown and the stock is plummeting today.
There are a few things that seem to be missing from the story, but one in particular irks me. We have the apparent incompetence of the accounting firms overseeing the purchase and the ineptitude of the HP board of directors that went ahead with the deal. Poor due diligence, finger-pointing, and Meg Whitman's "I had nothing to do with this deal" reaction are all normal.
But what's abnormal, and what has been abnormal for at least two decades in Silicon Valley, are the large corporations with big bankrollsin this case $10 billionmaking the wrong make-buy decision.
Pretty much every company you follow nowadays is constantly buying companies rather than building products from scratch. They've got the personnel, the money, the time, everything. But they continue to buy companies with alien cultures and products they probably will never understand.
The whole Autonomy thing was weird since the company seemed to be performing magic. On co-founder Michael Richard Lynch's Wikipedia page, the company is described as "a leader in the area of computer understanding of unstructured information, an area which is becoming known as meaning-based computing."
I do not know how gullible HP's board of directors is, but when I see the sudden emergence of something called "meaning-based computing," the alarms sound and the bullcrap meter begins to tag the red line.
Curiously, its board of directors lacks any slouches. The problem is twofold: First, there are too many Silicon Valley mavens who are susceptible to fads and buzz words. They'll believe that anything is possible and can be suckered by slicksters. Second, we must ask why it is buying the company in the first place.
Now I understand why Google buys up other little search companies when it sees them as a perceived threat. When I was younger, I thought that it was illegal to buy up and shutter the competition, but I was apparently misinformed because it happens constantly. So this makes some sense.
When I look at the kinds of acquisitions by Yahoo, Microsoft, and HP, though, I can't help but wonder why they don't just develop the same capabilities in-house.
For years, Microsoft was criticized for stealing ideas and then implementing them, forcing the competition out of business. There are a very few successful examples of this, but there are some, and there are just as many failed examples. At one point, the company was going to buy Intuit. The sale never went through and Microsoft entered the market with Microsoft Money, offering all sorts of services.
Eventually, the company got bored with it and ended any serious competition with Intuit. One must assume that if it had bought Intuit, the exact same scenario would have played out and the consumer would be out of luck.
So exactly what was HP trying to prove by buying Autonomy? The whole episode is reminiscent of Yahoo's purchase of Broadcast.com. What was it thinking?
If HP would have spent one billion dollars funding research and development to make its own version of "meaning-based computing," it would have learned something and saved $9 billion that should have gone to the shareholders. Instead, the shareholders are left holding the bag. Good work.

We are bringing Shakopee history and culture to life in a mural at Holmes Street Tunnel located in downtown Shakopee! The mural will span 6,500 square feet through the pedestrian tunnel located at the corner of Holmes Street and 1st Ave, spilling out to the riverfront retaining walls along the Minnesota River Valley Bike Trail.
We have almost reached our final fundraising goal to complete the mural by the end of September 2015! We have cool donor reward packages including downloadable wallpaper, a mural mural t-shirt designed by the winning team, VIP painting day tickets, or even your name painted into the mural!
This is a COMMUNITY project! We invite YOU to join us in the upcoming final design and content phases before the painting begins at the end of August 2015! Read our project timeline below for background info, then come paint with us!
Saturday, September 12
Come on down to the Holmes Street tunnel to paint in the base-colors of the mural. No painting experience necessary. This will be a giant paint-by-numbers style community mural painting day complete with music, food, and activities along 1st Avenue, historic downtown Shakopee! It is part of a larger downtown event taking place, Move and Make on Main!
October 2014: Main Street Shakopee Design Team launched the idea into the world with a vision.
November - February 2014: Where will the mural be painted? What permits do we need to get? What could the mural look like? We hosted a public meeting in November then re-grouped after the holidays. We knew we would need two things: a mural design and funding...
March 2015: We hosted Battle of the Brushes, a mural design competition and fundraiser. 5 local teams raised $500 each to compete in a 5-hour competition to create an 8ft X 8 ft mural design. You can see a timelapse video Nick Mabee created for the project on our Kickstarter campaign page that shows all the teamwork and designs from the event!
April - May 2015: Our Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign gave the Shakopee community an opportunity to vote for their favorite Battle of the Brushes mural design by backing the project.
May 2015: Following a successful campaign, thanks to 36 generous backers, we were excited to announce that the Paintbrush Sabers won first prize! A team comprised of students in an Advanced Placement Art class in the Shakopee High School won the competition with their growth-themed mural.
June 2015: The 8ft X 8ft design would need to go through design and content changes to translate into a 6,500 square foot public art piece. Main Street Shakopee issued a call to professional mural artists. Muralist Tony Stafki answered the call with an amazing concept for taking the design into the tunnel space. We asked Stafki to bring this project to completion!
July 2015: Volunteers from River Valley Church primed the tunnel and painted the riverfront retaining walls along the tunnel, helping with ongoing anti-graffiti measures along the trail in addition to preparing the walls for the upcoming mural. Check out a one-minute video of the priming day!

Laura Pecaut
Main Street Coordinator

The minute we received the Arvind briefing we knew it was an interesting project.
Arvind is a leading company in the retail business, besides being regarded as a reference in the fields of fashion and lifestyle in India.
The corporate goal was to raise online presence and, despite the fact that the request was for the creation of an e-commerce, they made it clear that our proposal could include everything we thought could help achieve the goal.
Our biggest incentive as a team from the beginning was the complete freedom we were offered to present our proposal. We were able to make proposals regarding strategy, content, etc.
Let's Start!
During the conceptualisation meetings we had input from specialists in fashion and retail. This was a rather new sector to us, so their contributions helped us understand and immerse ourselves in the world of fashion and retail and, what's even more important to us, the needs of users.
From our first meetings we concluded:
We have the opportunity of building the digital experience of a consolidated firm. What priorities did we set?
Creating a digital universe for the brand that fitted and kept consistency with its retail identity. Achieving consistency in user experience through all channels -the experience had to be seamless.
Thus we started to design our proposal.
Defining The Strategy
What are today's consumers looking for? Without a doubt, today's consumers want to decide when, where and what they are buying, and hope for the same experience regardless of the channel they are using. It was clear to us that we had to focus in developing an omnichannel experience.
Starting from this premise, we realised it was a priority, in order to create a unique digital experience, to create a mobile app and digital in-store kiosks, in addition to an e-commerce. Later on, as a result of the first interviews with a target group of users, we were able to confirm that this was the right strategy.
Furthermore, all of this had to be seamlessly integrated with the client's CRM systems, together with a CEM program to track customer behaviour effectively, to maximise information collection and thus optimise performance in future actions.
How to draw the brand closer to consumers
To approach consumers and to establish a recurring, emotional link with them, we decided to work in the project so the brand experience provided real added value. We had to create something beyond an online store: a brand personality, a Human Brand connecting with the values, expectations and aspirations of users, generating engagement and building relations through storytelling.
How did we plan to do that?
We decided that storytelling would be approached from several directions:
That way we conceived "A: The House of Fashion", the online brand identity, which would encompass all of its digital universe. Something more than an e-commerce, a transversal experience beyond shopping, a fashion and lifestyle experience connecting with the user.
Fashion and lifestyle: affinity and distinctive value
As part of the strategy of approaching users offering a real, distinctive value, we focused on creating a digital magazine "MAG" dealing with trends, news, lifestyle, fashion advice by sector influencers…
Engagement and viralisation: "a club"
A community where users can share opinions about products, have access to exclusive promotions, add products to a wish list, design outfits to share styles, and reward consumption through gamification.
Enriching the purchase process
The purchase process is the culmination of a good e-commerce experience. How do we help to improve this experience?
Starting from the premise that the whole process should be very intuitive in order to facilitate and stimulate conversion, we had to implement browsing logic and visual processing solutions in such a way that the purchase process was improved, making it easier for the user in two key ways: suggesting garments that they might like, from products previously viewed, and specifying as much as possible the sizing and characteristics of each product.
I want this jacket!
During our conceptualisation meetings, our team agreed on the following.
This has happened to all of us. You are going for a walk and see someone on the street wearing something, a garment, an accessory, a pair of shoes…that you love. Wouldn't it be great to be able to find a similar product in your favourite store? This is how the idea of "Fashion Hunter" emerged. It's a tool in the app which, after taking a picture of the garment, helps the user to find it in the Arvind stores -the same or the most similar one available.
Listening the users
Users are at the centre of our work. Our main focus is their experience, so that the interaction with our digital products is enriching, satisfying and fulfilling their expectations. To try it out, we included users in the development process, reaching to them in two key stages of the project:
At the beginning, through interviews, to find out about their habits and expectations.
At a more advanced stage of the visual and Ux design, to confirm that the visual language and the functional focus were as expected.
By listening to the real thing, we were able to confirm that we were going in the right direction, and were able to correct and modify some issues as a result of their suggestions.
All of our team agrees on the fact that this was a project in which we had fun.
Being able to learn from the views of specialists gave us the opportunity to understanding more deeply this sector. Getting to know a sector from a different perspective, besides being essential to the project, is always encouraging to us.
Furthermore, we really liked the end result. We can say that we had fun, learned, and felt fully satisfied with the end result. What else could we ask for?

Vin decoder - INFINITY -
Infinity is a well-known brand which focused on producing luxury cars only. The trademark was officially established in 1989 as luxury division of Nissan brand. The main idea was to conquer American luxury car segment. It was a rather hard challenge taking into account the fact that other Japanese major automakers made the same ting establishing Acura (Honda) and Lexus (Toyota). Nevertheless, Infinity found its way to the top of the automotive market establishing a global network.
Infinity started gaining popularity on the US market with a speed of tsunami. The first model to be sold was Q45. Though sale rate was not as high as it was accepted due to bad advertisement, it gave a hint how to develop further ad where to push on. It was decided to make second ad campaign as powerful; as possible. Lots of money was invested to promote another model that was based on Nissan platform. As a result iconic SUV FX and G37 immediately conquered luxury car market. They took it by storm with a sporty look, fresh design and exception powerful characteristic. Such strategy helped to make Infinity badge one of the most recognizable over the globe.
Clever ad campaign followed by badging and innovations made it possible for the brand to suppress such veterans of luxury auto market as Lincoln and Cadillac. From that moment Infinity headed towards European market. By the middle of 90's another great model was presented to the public. It was legendary QX4. From that moment Infinity became the leading brand to produce luxury SUVs. It actually had no competitors in that segment. G35 and G37 continued the series during 2003. Now the brand has over 230 dealers in more than 15 countries all over the world.
Considering the fact that Infinity models represent luxury class, there can't even be a thought to buy a new one unless you are a millionaire. However, used Infinity cars are still affordable though they may cost you a fortune. In such situation you should be as accurate as possible in order to buy a reliable auto. It won't be possible without Infinity VIN decoder. Keep in mind that VIN validation is actually the only way to check with vehicle's history and data. Our service offers several opportunities which will help you to look up a car by VIN number.

Mikoh swimwear reposted our picture on instagram! I was so excited. As mentioned in my last post, they are my most favorite swimwear line!
Well there you have it, highlights of our trip to Puerto Vallarta. It went by so fast, but we had an amazing time.
An update to one of my previous posts, I failed big time on packing. Somehow my luggage that I checked was 64 pounds, 14 pounds over the weight limit! I didn't even think to weigh it, ugh! I was not happy. It costs $25 to check a bag but if you are over the weight limit, it is $90! So needless to say, I was that girl, opening up her suitcase, trying to take out what I could to get to my 50 pound weight limit. On top of that, after unloading my suitcase and finally got to security, we waited in line only to realize we left our boarding passes back at the check-in. It was not a good morning to start but we made it! The weekend we got home we got 8 inches of snow, what a welcome back!

Cover It Up!
Another HYCCT card... this was one challenge that drove me nuts because I had zero ideas! I hate when I get stumped on a challenge; it becomes a huge frustration for me and I avoid stamping. I'm glad to have this one completed! Here's Sabrina's challenge:
So my challenge is to make a card with a hidden message (or image) which you can uncover by opening a flap or swinging a hinged tag or panel - not just opening the card .
I'm trying to use up some of my Regal Rose paper and ribbon since it's retired. It seems to work for the challenges and I'm happy to watch my hoard diminish a bit.
We did a lot of reading yesterday. By we I mean all of us, even the cats. lol

If you're a grandparent, you probably shouldn't say these things to the parents of your grandchildren. You might be able to get by with one or two of them, especially if you phrase them very diplomatically. But mostly it may help just to know that other grandparents share your feelings and frustrations.
If you're a parent and you happen across this page, remember that what sometimes feels like criticism is motivated by love and by the desire for all family members to live happier, healthier, less stressed lives.

Two of our most prolific young writers, Najaya Royal and Tema Regist, are participating in Poet-Linc this year. Poet-Linc is a poetry slam contest geared towards young writers from all five boroughs.
These young artists will be reading their work for five consecutive Wednesdays at Lincoln Center and consists of three rounds of competition to be judged by officials and audience members. The competition builds up to a grand slam reading on December 13th where Lincoln Center's first ever Grand Slam Champion will be determined. Poet-Linc is co-sponsored with Girls Write Now, a mentoring organization that works with young women writers in public schools throughout the city. Girls Write Now pairs these young writers with professional women writers who provide insight and guidance to their mentees. The mission of the organization is to strengthen and encourage the voices of young women who have been marginalized and left unheard. Appropriately, the theme of Poet-Linc's poetry slam is ' I have a voice' and its competitors will be showcasing theirs throughout December.
Both Najaya and Tema have written with NWYC for years. They have read in five consecutive Fort Greene Park Summer Literary Festival events, as well as had their work featured in a number of our own publications which include The Hidden Chorus and Making the Trees Shiver. Najaya and Tema are set to read tomorrow evening; come show your support for our two talented writers whom we are so excited and proud to see use their voices and perform their work!

Letting Go of Control
The whole world is seemingly obsessed with control, who has it, who wants it, who is going to get it, and who is going to lose it. Every environment we come into contact with is operated on control. People at our place of employment want to be in control, people at our place of worship want to be in control, and people in our families want to be in control. We have spent the majority of our lives jockeying for position to see who is going to end up on top. We fight for it, we lie for it, and we manipulate for it. We try to control our lives and our bodies. We want what we want when we want it, and we try to make sure that happens, often times in vain.
Ironically, when it comes right down to it, the only thing that is really in control is the control itself. Not being in control makes us mad, it makes us frustrated, it makes us bitter, and it makes a worry. We carry the weight of trying to be in control around with us, and let me tell you, it is awfully heavy. When we try to be in control of everything, we have difficulty maintaining relationships. We find ourselves fighting with our parents, our siblings, our spouses, and our friends. We become so obsessed with control that we no longer see the good in the world or in the people we love. We want them to do what we want when we want them to do it, and if they do not we get mad and sometimes even cut them out of our lives.
However, if we would just stop and think about it for a minute, having control over everything is not what we should want. It is not what God wants for our lives either. Imagine all the strife and worry that could be eliminated from our lives if we would just let go of control. We all want peace in our lives, and one key to having peace is to stop trying to control everything. We need to hand over the control to God. He is in control anyway, whether we like it or not. When we try to have absolute control, we tend to take matters into our own hands. We often mess everything up and get ourselves into situations that we do not want or need to be in. Of course, when that happens, we look to God to get us out. If we had just allowed Himto be in control, we would not have been in the situation in the first place.
So, let go. Let God guide your life. If you find yourself wanting to control a situation, just step back and let God have it. It is going to be what it is going to be, and no amount of control on your part can change that. Now, I am not saying that we should just sit back and let whatever happens happen. We have to be wise and know what we can control and what we cannot control. We also have to make God part of our decision making process. If we can give up on trying to control everything and everyone, much of the worry and stress in our lives will disappear. It is a lot like the song by Carrie Underwood, "Jesus Take the Wheel". We have to let God take control. That's what He wants and His hands are far more capable than ours. So the next time you feel the need to control a situation or other people, just say to God to "Take it" and let Him really take it. Trust that He knows what is best and have faith that everything will work out the way it should and just enjoy the peace that comes from letting God be in control, because PEACE MATTERS.

Maps have long been used in decor, especially vintage maps. And white sometimes it conjures up thoughts of dusty libraries and super traditional decor, it can be a fantastically modern way to add visual punch to the walls of your home.
Mural sized wall maps are so fun behind the bed- find some fantastic ones here and here.
I LOVE blowing up maps and then dividing them up into multiple frames hung on a grid. If you can't deal with all the math, cutting and the like you can pick up a pre-framed set here or Majesty Maps prints them PRE-DEVIDED! Genius!!!
I did this with a Nantucket map in that adorable pink and black apartment recently featured in InStyle.
Wallpapering a whole small room with a map mural is an amazing look too.
Some more great images!
Another very cute and very cheap idea- hanging a gallery wall of family photos and making mats out of maps f the location where each image was taken!
It's been an INSANELY busy week so I apologize on the lack of house updates. They will be coming next week FOR SURE- lots of them- including the kitchen REVEAL!

This vegetable gardening post brought to you by Gilmour. The content and opinions expressed below are that of The Gardening Cook. Let's grow a vegetable garden on a deck!
Growing fresh vegetables is one of the highlights of my summer gardening experience. To me, there is nothing quite like taking out an empty basket and coming back into the house with a basket full of fresh veggie harvest. But if you don't have much space, vegetable gardening might not seem possible. It is though. You can grow an entire Vegetable Garden on a Deck and get a great harvest for your efforts.
Growing a Vegetable Garden on a Deck is easy with these 11 tips.
I have gone back and forth in my mind about my vegetable garden. Two years ago, I had a 1000 square foot garden filled with vegetables. Alas, the squirrels made it their mission to eat the entire crop almost down to the last vegetable. (read about that disaster here.) Last year, I transformed that garden into a perennial vegetable garden. None of the vegetables produced much and the tomatoes were a disaster. Not being a person to be defeated by critters or diseased plants, I persevered! This year I am trying to grow an entire vegetable garden on a deck just outside my back door.
I have teamed up with a new sponsor, Gilmour. This wonderful company has a wide range of products for your gardening needs, including pruning tools, watering products and a great variety of garden hoses. They are a trusted and reliable brand with decades of American heritage. One of their products which is of special interest to me is their Flexogen hose.
You simply cannot beat their Flexogen hose. It has so many wonderful features:
- It has been proudly made in the USA for over 40 years and has a lifetime warranty.
- It is perfect for any type of homemaker, especially those, like me, who put their tools to the ultimate test and expect them to really last.
- The Flexogen hose is an unbeatable combination of quality, flexibility and durability.
- And it is the only 8 layer hose on the market with a one-of-a-kind patented construction (many other hoses are made with only six layers.) With these features, it is easy to see why the Flexogen hose is the longest-lasting and most durable hose in its class.
Gilmour provided me with both their Flexogen hose and a wonderful durable metal spray nozzle to test for them this summer and tell all of my readers about the quality of the tools and how well they work for me. I am just delighted to team up with them to test this and other products for them and to give my readers an opportunity to see the garden tools in action.
I decided to put the hose and nozzle to use in my latest vegetable garden project. I plan to grow my vegetable garden (as well as lots of flowers) completely on my deck. This summer the squirrels and rabbits will not defeat me! (that is my new mantra – I repeat it daily!) I am bringing the garden up close and personal as they say. It resides on my deck in very large pots. I figure that I will be able to keep an eye on the critters and keep the plants in tip top condition. So far, it is working pretty well. Keep tuned over the summer to see how it does!
11 Tips for Growing Vegetables on a Deck.
Do you wish you had a vegetable garden but don't think you have the room? Think again! The following tips and photos show just what you can grow successfully in a very small space. Just follow these few tips and then start planting:
- Watering. Be sure your pots are within easy reach of your watering system. (this is where my Flexogen hose and nozzle are perfectly placed!)
- Size of pots. Have pots that will accommodate the size of the plant you want to grow. (there is no way a 5+ foot tomato plant will grow in a 5 gallon pot. It needs room for the roots!) Think of the final size of the plant when you choose the pot.
- Think Big. Err on the large size for pots. You won't go wrong, I promise. The plants will need less water and get larger too. Think 12 inches at the smallest and up to 20 inches or larger for the biggest ones, such as tomato plants.
- Work area. Have a small potting area nearby. I take cuttings of my tomato plants for new plants later in the year and start my seedlings right on my deck.
- Room to Tend. Be sure you have room, either outside the deck or near the pots, for plant maintenance. You will want to inspect, water and tend to them easily without moving furniture.
- Supports. Have stakes and climbing support ready. I put my stakes in with the seedlings so as not to disturb the roots later. There are many things to use for support for cucumbers and beans. (I used pieces of old garden wire fencing. I just poked them into the earth and they allow beans to climb and supports for cucumbers too!)
- Plastic vs Terra cotta? I have both, but be aware that terra cotta pots need more watering because of their porous nature so plastic may be a better choice if water conservation is important to you.
- Color of pots. Very dark or black pots will absorb the heat, so lighter colors work better and will need less watering and be gentler on the roots.
- Soil for the vegetables. The soil needs to be well draining, and soil made especially for containers will give the best results, so no just digging up garden soil!
- How to get started. It doesn't matter whether you plant seeds or seedlings. Water first before you plant. The seeds will get a better start and the seedlings won't be stressed when they are transplanted.
- Good tools make for a better garden. Having the right tools on hand can make all the difference. For this project, the Gilmour Flexogen hose and their durable hose nozzle made watering my vegetable garden a breeze. There is no substitute for good garden tools. They last so much longer than cheap imitations and save you money in the long run by providing excellent use for years to come!
The Deck Garden in Photos.
And now for some photos of the vegetable garden in all its glory…
I have a very large deck which measure about 14 x 25 feet. It has ample room for seating, dining, a potting area and a BBQ area, PLUS the vegetable garden and several areas for flowers. Is is amazing, what can be grown on a deck, isn't it?
The deck has room for two seating areas – one is a cozy place for afternoon drinks. It overlooks my newest flower garden bed and also my test garden and we spend a lot of time sitting there.
The other area has a large table and umbrella set up for home barbecues and guests. Even with those two areas, there is still a ton of space left for containers.
I also have a tiered plant stand which holds my seedlings and cuttings – a great way to increase my harvest and have plants ready for succession planting when the time is right. It holds lots of pots and some of my tools as well. It is just a few steps from my table that doubles as a work station when I am potting.
I am using the outside perimeter of the deck to place large pots and containers in which to grow the vegetables and herbs. They are within close walking distance of my kitchen, and also very close to my water source, which is ideal for my Flexogen hose!
I prepared my Flexogen hose by laying it out in the sun for about 30 minutes. Don't skip this step! It makes the hose so much easier to maneuver later on and takes no time at all.
I have the a wide variety of vegetables, herbs and flowers in pots growing on my deck:
- tomatoes (four varieties)
- sweet peppers
- cucumbers
- turnips
- swiss chard and leaf lettuce
- radishes
- beets
- spring onions
- two kinds of bush beans (both yellow and green) I have climber beans in the garden, but guess who chomped them all yesterday? Hint. He hops, has a long tail and loves carrots (and obviously, beans!)
- fennel
- oregano
- rosemary
- chives
- basil and tarragon
- parsley
- thyme
- flowers – even with all my vegetables, there is still plenty of room for flowers on my deck too. After all, what is a garden without flowers? This vintage plant stand winds around and holds 6 potted flower plants in one small footprint. Add in the bird cage planter and the plants at the foot and there are 10 flower pots in a 3 foot space. Gardening on a deck just means thinking outside the box!
Who says you need a large yard for a big flower and veggie garden? Not me, that's for sure.
I love my Flexogen hose set up! It is within about 10 feet of my water source and this makes it super easy to get just the right amount of water to the veggies. I have a corner near the deck where I keep the hose, and it's ready to go when I am ready to water.
The durable adjustable spray nozzle makes watering a breeze. It is solid feeling in the hand, but the front trigger requires very little effort to get the water going. I love all the nozzle adjustments. It has everything from a fine mist to an energetic blast of water. The best part is the adjustable water flow with the twist of a button. It makes watering a cinch. The whole watering procedure of the garden from start to finish takes about 10 minutes at the most!
Growing the vegetables in pots also makes it easier for me to keep the water off the leaves. I can walk on the lawn around the edge of the deck, and the pots seem almost like raised garden beds. I can get the water right to the roots where it belongs.
Plant inspection is a cinch, and it will be super easy, later, for me to harvest at eye level. I am very excited to see how it goes during the summer months, and will be eager to share the progress with my readers.
The Flexogen hose and gentle power wand are available for sale at your local home improvement store or garden center.Want to find out more about Gilmour? Please visit Gilmour on Facebook
I will be adding updates to this article and others as the summer progresses. Be sure to check back each month for the progress and find out whether I finally have a winning combination when it comes to vegetable gardening (or whether the squirrels will win again!) And be sure to check back in August for a wonderful Gilmour giveaway opportunity!
Be sure to have a look at the transformation of what used to be my vegetable garden last year. With the help of Gilmour, I have transformed this area into a wonderful Southwest themed garden bed.
Have you ever tried to grow vegetables in containers? What were your results? I would love to hear in the comments below.

PhotoFast iType-C 64GB OTG Review
In the last year, there have been a plethora of OTG flash solutions to hit the market. I have been lucky enough to have a go with most of them and came away with a few favorites I use with my personal devices. With that said, to this point, on-the-go solutions have been purpose-built for Android or iOS, but that changes today with a new solution from PhotoFast.
PhotoFast is the OEM behind many of the OTG products you will find in the marketplace from vendors like Strontium and Lexar. They have built up a solid platform that includes an app for Android and iOS, along with a portfolio of products that are quite reliable. The device we have in house today, the iType-C, aims to take over the OTG market and replace any drive you have, no matter the platform.
As mentioned, PhotoFast has big plans for this latest drive and as such has outfitted the drive to take on every platform including Windows, OS X, and Linux, along with Android and iOS. It does this via two simple connections, Lightning and USB-C, which then can be converted with the included adapter to micro USB and USB Type-A. Of course, all this functionality will come at a price.
The MSRP of the 64GB PhotoFast iType-C comes in at $144.99 with a one-year warranty.
Packaging for the iType-C is full of information including supported platforms and apps.
On the back, we have a list of what's included in the package.
The scope of delivery includes the iType-C drive on the left, reading materials, and adapter to the right.
Our first look at the drive, I get the feeling some of the design cues were taken from the MAX. On the left side, we have the Lightning connector for modern iOS devices and to the right USB-C for modern Android devices.
Included in this package is the adapter transform the USB-C connector.
That USB-C connector is converted into two solutions on the opposite end, Type-A USB 3.0 and micro-USB.
Plugging this drive into my iPhone 7 Plus, we have three apps that come up. PhotoFast-ONE is the main app you will want to download.
We have gone over this app quite a few times in the last year, but using a true PhotoFast device over a Lexar or Strontium opens some features including Vimeo, Zip, and YouTube. In addition to those, the app opens the ability to download DJI firmware for your Phantom, Mavic, or Inspire UAV.
On the second page of the app, you have all the included social media backups along with cloud services.
In the settings page, you have a few options including drive security, formatting the drive, and touch ID for those on iOS.
The iType-C comes from the factory formatted with the FAT32 filesystem. This is due to its wide compatibility with all platforms. Usable capacity is 59.1GB.
The performance of our sample reached 93 MB/s read and 73 MB/s write.
Throwing this drive into our Price/Performance charts for OTG solutions, the price really hits hard. With that said, the iType-C did manage to stick around the middle at 84.2%, just above the iFlashdrive MAX.
Since I received the iType-C in early November, I have used it as my go-to solution to transfer photos and videos from my iOS devices to my PC and NAS. I have found the reliability to be quite good and while I haven't had to test the durability to any extremes, I have dropped it a few times on concrete, and it has survived. On the flipside, I find that if you don't keep the USB-C adapter connected to the drive, it's quite easy to lose and it would have been nice to see a small case included for this solution, just for physical storage purposes.
On the performance, I found this solution to deliver ample performance for transferring media such as photos and videos because let's face it you probably won't hit anything near the limit of this drive with hundreds or thousands of 3M photo files. In the USB Flash benchmark, this solution reached a peak of 93 MB/s read and 73 MB/s write in Windows 10 with the USB-C connection.
Adding to the appeal of this drive is the app. In the past, I haven't been very favorable with this application as it used "in-app storage" that locked you out of your own files outside the app. It appears that policy has now changed adding in a full suite of backup options for whatever services you use whether its Dropbox, OneDrive, etc. In the end, $144.99 MSRP is quite expensive for a 64GB flash drive in today's market, but you do get the benefit of it being widely compatible with every platform.

So now that Windows Mobile 6 is out in the wild, everyone's main question is should I upgrade? From the looks of it, yes you should. Not only does it look better and offer more features than WM5, but it finally puts an end to those random smartphone crashes. The folks at Laptop mag put the new OS through a week-long test run and here's what they liked.
1)It looks like Vista
Gone is that intimidating Today Screen from before and in is the new Vista-inspired Today Screen with bigger icons, larger fonts, and a less intimidating look.
2)You Can Finally View Office Files
WM6 comes with Office Mobile, which lets you view Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files straight from your handheld. You can't create Office files on the Standard Edition (although there are a few ways around that), but having the ability to view these files without a 3rd party app is huge.
3)Cool Search Function
Let's say you're searching through your Inbox and you need to find an old e-mail. Just type in the sender's name, the e-mail's title, or any key word that comes to mind and WM6 will display all your messages that match your search.
4)Faster Web Browsing
Ok, so you won't fly through Web pages, but WM6 does up the speed on Internet Explorer Mobile. Laptop clocked 16 seconds for the NYT homepage to load and 18 seconds before CNN's front page showed up.
Granted, not everything is perfect with WM6 (Laptop didn't like Explorer's weak multimedia support or Windows Live for Windows Mobile), but for the most part it will improve your smartphone experience.

eGo One Ni 200 Coils
The CL-Ni atomizer head is designed for use in the eVic VT. The coil can also be used with many mechanical mods, fixed voltage and Variable Voltage devices if they are capable of working with coils down to 0.2Ω atomizer resistance. This atomizer head has an improved resistance/ohm accuracy of 0.2Ω+-0.01Ω through use of a gold plated connector.
Our CL Nickel Coil is built using 100% natural cotton for the ultimate vapour production.
Note: Due to the change in coil resistance with temperature, the power produced by the atomizer head will reduce as the coil temperature increases. This means that while the CL-Ni atomizer head will work successfully with many Variable Wattage devices, the power displayed on the device will not generally reflect the actual power delivered to the atomizer.

Notice is hereby given that the Board of Directors of the Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust has appointed BDO LLP as its external auditors. The period of the contract is from 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2020 with the option to extend for one plus one years.
An invitation to tender was issued in October 2016 by The Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust and Colchester Hospital University NHS Foundation Trust (CHUFT) to companies on the North of England Collaborative Procurement Hub framework contract. Two bids were received by the deadline; from BDO LLP and KPMG.
The Board was advised by an audit evaluation panel comprising members of both Trusts' audit committees, finance teams and a member of the CHUFT Council of Governors.
The award criteria scoring the bids followed an approach which awarded 50% of the available marks based on price and 50% on non-financial benefit factors, as follows:
|Contract price
|Key requirements of the audit service
|Organisational capability and experience
The panel met twice to consider the tenders: on 11 November to consider the scores based on the desk-top review of the tender documents, and on 23 November to meet with the audit teams who would be undertaking the audits at both Trusts. The panel was unanimous in its conclusion that BDO LLP be recommended to the Boards of both Trusts for appointment on the basis of contract price, meeting the key requirements of the audit service and organisational capability and experience.

Year-over-Year Increase in Revenues of 85% and Operating Income of 136%
SUNNYVALE, CA, July 14, 2004 - SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK), the world's largest supplier of flash storage card products, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 27, 2004. Second quarter total revenues increased 85% to $433 million compared to the second quarter of 2003 and increased 12% from the first quarter of 2004. Second quarter net income was $71 million, compared to $41 million and $64 million for the second quarter of 2003 and the first quarter of 2004, respectively. Earnings per share were $0.38 per diluted share compared with $0.26 per diluted share in the same quarter of 2003 and $0.34 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2004.
"Record results for our second quarter are a testimony to the success of SanDisk's strategy and unique business model, which combines vertical integration of leading edge technology, rapid introduction of differentiated products targeted at new applications, expanding worldwide retail distribution and a strong portfolio of patents to generate significant operating margins," said Eli Harari, President and CEO of SanDisk Corporation.
"The pricing moves that we initiated early in the second quarter stimulated consumer demand and resulted in 38% sequential quarterly growth in total megabytes and 24% sequential growth in average capacity per card sold in retail. Product gross margins improved to 35%, despite a 16% decline in average selling price per megabyte, because of a favorable mix of MLC and captive flash, and the positive impact of our product segmentation strategy; fully 25% of the retail revenue in the second quarter came from highly differentiated products. Late in the quarter we shipped first production cards employing our new 4Gbit NAND/MLC chip, and as planned we are starting to ramp 90 nanometer production in the third quarter," added Harari.
"I am particularly encouraged by the growing acceptance of flash cards and modules in dozens of new generation cell phones sporting mega pixel cameras, music players, video clips, video games and internet access, which we expect will be one of the major catalysts for strong growth in demand for our products in the next several years," said Harari.

Paints a surprising picture of the five major UK telco's 3G networks.
O2 may have rights to the iPhone, Palm Pre and Samsung I7500 Galaxy but what good are they when it appears the telco doesn't have the network to do them justice?
That's the controversial message being illustrated this week by industry regulator Ofcom which for the first time has published UK maps of 3G coverage. Its results are hugely surprisingly with the country's two biggest telcos (O2 and Vodafone) actually scoring very poorly compared to less fashionable carriers 3 and Orange.
Ofcom lays these results out using UK maps with red patches highlighting areas of 3G coverage and does much to dismiss the 90 per cent and higher 3G coverage claims made by most of the major networks. In fact even those which do come out well still show numerous flat spots which must test the confidence of consumers that they can enjoy a seamless high speed mobile broadband experience. Meanwhile rural areas remain woefully neglected.
If there is some hope in this depressing picture it is that Ofcom admits much of its calculations were theoretical rather than involving extensive footwork in real world scenarios so expect a great deal of network criticism of the results.
That said, an industry body doesn't publish detailed maps such as this without feeling confident in its reasoning. It also serves as a timely reminder that just because all today's dongles and high end smartphones offer blisteringly quick 3G access that doesn't mean you'll actually be able to use it…
"'In related news"' Orange has announced it has won an exclusive deal for the Toshiba TG01 and it will be free on 24 month £40pm contracts starting tomorrow. Speculation had suggested the 4.1in Windows Mobile touchscreen smartphone was destined for industry magnet O2, but this deal does at least break that worrying trend.
On a more gloomy note I had an extensive hands on with the Snapdragon powered device yesterday and while it's a gorgeous piece of hardware the Toshiba Windows Mobile skinning is wafer thin, unintuitive and – despite all that horsepower on tap – feels horribly sluggish and unoptimised. A real opportunity missed. We'll follow up with a full review shortly but if you were planning to rush down to the shops tomorrow be sure to try before you buy.

Causes of severe abdominal distension include abnormal levels of small intestine bacteria, increased curvature of the spine's lumbar region, and too much intestinal gas, according to the International Foundation for Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders. An imbalance of microorganisms in the bowel, which can result from taking antibiotics, is another cause of abdominal distension. Food intolerance and increased perception and sensitivity of activity in the digestive tract are additional possible causes.
Ascites may cause severe abdominal distension, explains Healthline. Ascites occurs when abdominal fluid builds up; the condition is typically caused by liver problems such as cirrhosis. Less common causes of severe abdominal distension include pancreatitis, gallstones, an ovarian cyst, weight gain and intestinal blockage.
Excessive intra-abdominal fat, an inappropriately contracted diaphragm and flabby abdominal muscles may also cause abdominal distension, notes the National Institutes of Health. Up to 25 percent of healthy people experience bloating, which is a sign of abdominal distension.
A doctor may discover the cause of severe abdominal distension via medical tests and procedures, including abdominal X-rays, an upper endoscopy, gastric-emptying tests, a barium swallow and stool analysis, advises the International Foundation for Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders. Depending on the cause of the abdominal distension, the doctor may prescribe medication or recommend supplements to relieve the symptoms. Options include probiotics, antispasmodics, rifaximin, prokinetics and antidepressants.

For the 2014-15 tax roll, Hillsborough County Property Appraiser Bob Henriquez has implemented a cutting-edge desktop appraisal software system that is already saving taxpayers thousands of dollars in assessment and property review costs while potentially adding millions of dollars in revenue for county and city budgets in the coming years.
Working in collaboration with a "data visualization" company called iLOOKABOUT, Henriquez instructed the HCPA to implement a web-based desktop appraisal program. The result was a unique software called GeoViewPort (GVP), which uses a combination of existing HCPA data and high-resolution aerial and ground-level photography to make extremely accurate property assessments of the county's nearly 500,000 parcels.
In most cases, the data and images used within GVP affords the HCPA even more assessment information about an individual property than what an appraiser could see if they were physically standing in front of it.
"This technology is a significant leap forward in the way we do business and, at the same time, in the method by which we meet our constitutional responsibility of making fair and equitable assessments," Henriquez said. "Utilizing it not only represents a cost savings, it streamlines our workflow and improves the accuracy of our data."
The resolution of the imagery allows extremely accurate measurements of building footprints and home additions. And because the appraiser is behind a desk and not driving a vehicle, the HCPA has seen huge savings for the taxpayers of Hillsborough County in fuel, repairs, drive time, paper, ink, scanners and printers. To help reduce the cost of on-site inspections and lessen its carbon footprint, the HCPA has gone to a fleet of gas-electric hybrid vehicles.
Using GVP, HCPA appraisers have been able to review their yearly quota of 25 percent of the county's parcels more accurately, at a faster rate and at a reduced cost. Since beginning the project on July 14, 2014, approximately 10,066 parcels have experienced a value changes from GVP, both adding and subtracting parcel value information. The HCPA estimates these changes have been responsible for adding $9.2 million of residential value to the county tax roll, which, annually, would result in approximately an increase of $184,000 in revenue for the county's school board and other local taxing authorities.
Since this value increase is added to the tax roll in perpetuity, over the course of 10 years, the county could see $1.8 million in added revenue. And if similar value increases are found in the remaining 75 percent of the county that the HCPA will review in the coming three years, the revenue increase for the county could eventually approach $7 million.
"With this and other technological improvements we are making in our office, we are literally on the cutting edge of property appraising," Henriquez said. "And the benefits to the taxpayer more than makes up for the initial investments."

Today, one of my absolute favorite film series, Star Wars have been prominent to the world for thirty whole years. On May 25, 1977, Star Wars IV: A New Hope, the first film out of six, was released to cinemas. In my opinion, it is obvious that the first three films – the original trilogy: IV: A New Hope, V: The Empire Strikes Back and VI: Return of the Jedi – was the best ones. The worst films was I: The Phantom Menace and II: Attack of the Clones.
Happy anniversary, Star Wars! You've made a lot of difference to the world.

Join us in the vast playground of pristine hidden singletrack.…that we call home.
Our Trails
Our centre of operations is based at Les Arcs, Savoie, but offers limitless access to all the types riding you'll find described here. All of our guided trips involve riding around the entire region, not just stuck in one resort. We frequently ride in or through other areas such as La Plagne, Champagny, Tignes, Val d'Isere, Beaufort, Meribel and Courchevel.
Our geographic base was selected for the variety & quality of riding terrain accessible directly from our doorstep. Virtually unlimited, lift-assisted, non-waymarked singletrack is obviously a huge attraction! We'll also pedal or van-shuttle well away from the lift-tops to access the best trails that remain a well kept secret, even today. The linked categories below are intended to give simply a guideline as to the different types of riding available… the versatility of our large trail guiding team means that your week with us –or indeed any single day– can be a very flexible combination of all four of these categories. Ultimately it's your holiday and we will make sure that the week is tailored to your preferences.

Weapons - Swords, Axes Knives etc. / daggers
Medieval and Renaissance Daggers. Our daggers can be divided into daggers intended for fencing, which are dull and made from quality tempered spring steel: the same kind that's used for sword blades. The other type is costume daggers (which are usually sharp or at least have a sharp point). These daggers are meant for collectors to display or as an accessory for a costume. You can order a leather sheath for your dagger, and some can be embellished with etching or engraving to customise them.
Daggers - we make them dull for historical fencing and they are constructed to withstand blows of reasonable force from an opponent. The material used is tempered spring steel with a higher carbon content. We offer mainly medieval Gothic and Renaissance daggers.
Gothic and Renaissance daggers for collectors usually have a sharp points and sharp blades. These daggers very closely approximate their real historical models. The material used is tempered spring steel with a higher carbon content.
