Our website has been designed to offer you instant service availability and pricing information, for broadband (BOLT/BEAM products) as well as our leased lines (ELITE products). All of these can be ordered online where the Order button appears next to the service. Once we receive a web order, we will validate your details, confirm that the service meets your requirements and set expectations. Then we will send a formal DocuSign electronic contract to confirm the order.
Ordering FAQs
All queries relating to ordering. Including placing your order, the order process and cancelling your previous connection.
- How do I order?
- What if a type of connection is not available in my area?
Although our website availability checker and internal tools are sophisticated, sometimes there are circumstances which make it impossible, more difficult or more expensive to deliver the service you ordered. A site survey, as part of the provisioning process, will identify issues like this. If there are any, then don't worry as we will not hold you to the contract and we can advise on your options. Giganet has the widest selection of carriers and services in the market, so we're confident we will have something alternative available.
- When should I cancel my existing connection?
If we're provisioning a new service alongside an existing, then we recommend at least a 2 to 4 week overlap before ceasing your existing service, that is if you no longer require this original connection.
Our order provisioning team will keep you updated along the way and set expectations on when your new service will go live. However dates can slip, even at the last minute, so we always recommend erring on the side of caution.
Please ask us if you're uncertain about the estimated dates your new connection should go live.
- Do you cancel my existing connection?
For our BOLT and BEAM broadband products, we can migrate your existing connection to our Giganet network as long as we are taking over your existing line. We can also provide a new line at a small additional charge if you didn't want us to use your existing line for any reason. Our sales teams will be able to advise you.
For leased line (or ELITE services), these cannot typically be migrated, and so we will be provisioning a new service alongside your existing service. This means that there will ultimately be a period of overlap, allowing you time and easing the pressure of the switch.
In all cases, check your notice period and any automatic contract rental clauses, many in the industry require up to 90 days' notice for cancellation, and can automatically renew you into a new 12 month period if you forgot. Don't get caught out!
- What happens once I've placed an order?
Our dedicated provisioning & ordering team will get involved with your order once the formalities of the contracts have been dealt with. They will be able to update you on your order progress as new information is received and answer any questions you have on the process. Depending on the service you have ordered, the lead time can be from as little as 10 working days, to 65 working days for fibre leased lines (ELITE services).
- Who do I speak to at Giganet throughout the process?
You will speak to someone in our sales/customer service department initially, they will be able to advise and provide quotes for any services you're interested in. If you decide you would like to proceed with a quote, a contract will be sent to you via DocuSign.

I have a project that is composed of three source files. In one of my files, I #define a symbol. I want to access that symbol in the other source files but I receive an error indicating that the symbol is not defined.
#define is a preprocessor directive that allows you to specify a name and replacement text. As the preprocessor parses the source file, each occurrence of the name is replaces by its associated text.
The scope of #define is limited to the file in which it is defined. So, #defines which are created in one source file are NOT available in a different source file.

AmeriCorps Stories of the Week
Stories from our work
Homelessness: More than the Lack of a Home
"It's a commonly stated truth that "homelessness" is more than the lack of a home. This alludes to the reality that homeless individuals often face a wide range of challenges rooted in their personal experiences that prevent them from being housed sustainably. Histories of addiction, trauma, and mental health disorders are more common than not. Ultimately, all who are homeless carry with them a unique set of factors that led them to a position of being without housing. In consideration of this holistic idea of "homelessness," the process of addressing these underlying challenges is just as important as developing a sustainable source of income and finding appropriate housing.

The White Monkey was the protagonist's guardian in the 1982 Tsuburaya/Taiwan co-production film, The Fairy and the Devil.
Height: Doll sized - TBA
Weight: TBA
Origin: Ancient Taiwan
When a massive green demon attacked a small castle and it's inhabitants, a lone warrior stood up to him. Summoning a small doll of a monkey, the man threw the toy at the demonic being. First, the doll became a humansized ape, then into a massive monkey! The two began to fight, but the demon was more clever than the primate and after a series of repeated knife edge chops to the white defender's chest, the ape vanished, defeated.
Powers and Abilities
- Wind: From his mouth, the white ape can spit a gust of wind to send foes staggering back.
- Teleporting: When in a bind, the monkey can teleport.
- Many parts of the suit, minus the head/face, would go on to become Erupa of the Andro Melos series.

Caudal heel pain is the present description of this age old disease. Here are the take home messages:
- Purchase the best conformation horse you can. Focus on the hoof and pastern.
- Look for the tell-tale signs of caudal heel pain: broken pastern-hoof axis, long toe, low heel.
- Work with your farrier. Take pictures and draw lines on them. Work on the feet until all agree that the horse is applying the least amount of effort to bring the limb into the swing phase.
- Realize that with many of the causes of caudal heel pain, there is nothing that can be done other than provide pain relieving drugs.
- The treatment of LAST RESORT is a neurectomy. Euthanasia of the severely painful horses is offered to those that can't be maintained of anti-inflammatories and surgery is ineffective.
These 3 videos describe the relationships between the tendons and bones, the physics and vector analysis behind the angles (the what?), and what to do if your horse is diagnosed with navicular syndrome.

I will keep this post short, as my third Silver Steps shoredive of the year was a week ago. As you can see above, my dive was made by encountering the beautiful nudibranch Antiopella cristata (although I prefer the old name Janolus cristatus…). My camera battery strangely gave up straight after taking these pics (argh!), otherwise I would have bothered it for at least another ten minutes! The 60mm lens is great. Look at the European cowrie Trivia monacha below which is less than a centimeter in length. Not a great shot but it shows that it is possible. Finally, a common Phoronid worm Phoronis hippocrepia (Thanks Allison, please check out her great blog Notes from a California naturalist). I hope the wind will die down and I can go back soon.

Silver Steps diving II
Another Silver Steps shore dive with @shannonmoranphoto and her fellow student Chris on Friday. The conditions were not as good as last time: low viz and a bit of a swell. I had set my camera to a longer focal range to try to take pics of cuttles or larger fish but that did not work out (with better conditions it still might not work out!). I could still shoot macro so that is what I did. Above to Devonshire cup corals Caryophyllia smithii. Pretty decent, but I know I can get a better close-up; I will try again Monday! I will have another go at the one resident Cray (or Craw) fish, which lives very shallow. I will also try the Twin fan worm Bispira volutacornis again, as I think a shot filled with just the fans (and not assorted bits of seaweeds etc) could be really nice. I might try free-swimming fish if they come close, as did this Poor cod Trisopterus minutus. Below some before- and after postprocessing. Just the jpegs in Windows Photos, nothing fancy. A bit of cropping, increasing clarity and contrast works wonders. Only when I have a really good photo I will invest time processing raw files in Photoshop. First the best photo of the dive: a Black-faced blenny Tripterygion delaisi (a female or possibly a non-breeding male). Next, a common Edible crab Cancer pagurus and finally a Twospotted goby Gobiusculus flavescens.
One of the nice things about Cornwall is that there are so many coves and beaches, that even after seven years of living here, there are still plenty left to discover. This weekend we visited Kennack Sands on the Lizard peninsula. Two fine sandy beaches separated by a small hill and a rocky outcrop in the sea. What I also like about Cornwall is that every rock has a name. The rocks we explored are called Caerverracks. The tide was pretty good, the weather as well (except for a brief shower). The viz however was quite bad, and so I hope to go back one time when the sea is flat to retake some of these pictures. The rocks did offer some shelter though and it was great to be in the water. I focused (no pun intended) on a type of kelp called Furbellows (Saccorhiza polyschides). It is called that way because of the ruffles on the stipe (in dress-making, furbelow is another word for ruffle). These wavey frills help to dissipate wave energy, which of course can be very intense on Atlantic shores. This seaweed is much more prone to epiphytic groth than the surrounding Laminaria kelp. This must be the reason why it is always covered with grazing Grey topshells Steromphala cineraria. As with other kelps, it is home to the Blue-rayed limpet Patella pelucida. As the conditions were bad, I was forced to limit myself to a large, abundant and non-moving subject, but it was actually quite nice to work within such constraints. One of my favourite seaweeds and when conditions are better (and when I am by myself, with more time and a weight belt so I can dive down instead of holding the camera down and shooting 'blind'), I definitely want to try again!
St. Michaels Mount
A bit of practice with over under shots two weeks ago when camping near St. Michaels Mount in Marazion. An ancient and beautiful backdrop to a fine sandy beach, with a causeway, rocky outcrops as well as seagrass. I was not alone and did not have much time and importantly no strobe handy, which made the exposure difference between under- and above water tricky. The main problem was however that I could not get up close to the Mount, leaving it quite small in the composition. Still, a great hour in the water. Many two-spot gobies were around and this is a site with lots of egg cases of the Nursehound (or large-spotted dogfish, or greater spotted dogfish or bull huss) Scyliorhinus stellaris.
July Seaweeds at Castle Beach
A whole bunch of photos of yesterdays snorkel at Castle Beach. The viz has cleared up, although nothing like the fabled June 2017 viz, will it ever be as good again?! (see here). There are lots of yellows and browns, some greens, a substantial dash of blue of the rainbow wrack but hardly any reds and purples at this time of year. The glow of the sun exarcerbates the yellowish vibe, but somehow I suspect the colour temperature of the Olympus somehow is a bit off compared to my old Canon. I am not entirely sure about this though, and in theory this is all correctable postprocessing, I just don't know how! The photo below shows some of the common species, from the bottom right to top left: Cladostephus spongiosus, Dictyota dichotoma, Asparagopsis armata, Cystoseria baccata with Sargassum muticum in the background. Ij the second photo it is obvious that the Wireweed and Rainbow wrack are quite dominant, same for the Hairy sandweed Cladostephus spongiosus. The Thong (or Spaghetti) weed is covered in fuzzy epiphytes. I will keep practicing for when the reds and purples come back in autumn!
Snorkelling at Trevallas Cove
Rumours had it that the viz was great at the North Coast last weekend, and as it was pretty bad at the south Coast, I found some time to drive up to St. Agnes (buying new fins on the way) with the fisheye lens+dome. I was not disappointed: look at that blue sea! The water was clear, the sand was white and the seaweeds were waving on the rock faces. I saw flounder, mullet (thicklipped and red), seabass, sand eels, corkwing wrasse, sand smelt and most interestingly: weeverfish. Swimming above the sand with yellow fins and burying themselves so only the eyes are visible. I saw one half a meter deep on the beach, so it is advisable to wear surfshoes (see here). Unfortunately I could not get a good photo. I tried to take photos with the strobe but that did not really work so all photos here are natural light, trading off ISO, shutterspeed and depth of field to get the right exposure. There were Blue jellyfish around (small, 2-4 inches), and I tried to shoot them over-under but that was a bit too ambitious. Some easier shots instead. I hope to find some big Barrel jellyfish in the coming weeks, as they will be a lot easier to shoot! As the fish proved a bit too fast, and the over-unders a bit too difficult, I tried to take some shots of seaweeds instead. Although I mainly knew it from more sheltered locations, there was quite a bit of Mermaid's tresses Chorda filum on this exposed coast. There was a lot of discoid forkweek Polyides rotundus on the sand but also on the rocks, and often covered in Falkenbergia. Other species that were abundant were Hairy sandweed Cladostephus spongiosus and Desmarestia ligulata. Hope to return soon!
Macro Practice III
What friends predicted happened last Sunday morning: someone scrambled down the rocks to check if this figure lying motionless in a shallow pool was dead or alive. Luckily, I was feeling very alive indeed, watching a sizable Spiny starfish Marthasterias glacialis moving over the rocks using its hydraulic tube feet. A beautiful blue-grey colour, the surface of these animals are very richly textured. I am not sure exactly what is going on at the tips of the arms: the very end shows a red organ, potentially light sensing. It is surrounded by nodules, which might be the precursors of the centres of new plates covering its body, or something else. The tube feet at the tips are smaller and orange-tinged and I am again not sure whether they are just newly developing or having special sensory functions. I noticed the madreporite at the top of the animal: this sieve plate is involved in pumping the water in the body for hydraulic locomotion. It resembles a stony coral 'madrepore' colony, hence its name. In general, the seastar surface resembles a coral I think. The photos are nice, but I know I could do a lot better: next time!
Macro Practice II
I am running out of original blog post titles; these are just some more macrophotos practicing with the mzuiko 60mm lens. Friday afternoon was a gorgeous sunny, windstill day here in Falmouth. Although I somehow did not manage to find a stalked jellyfish, there were plenty of other things to see floating around in the shallow pools. I tried my hand again at the European cowrie Trivia monacha (see last post) with better results. It is hard to get the strobe position right, so I now hold it in my hand (rather than attached to the 'tray' that also holds the camera) to try to take as many different shots as possible. Below, a small Light bulb seaquirt Clavelina lepadiformis and the colonial seasquirt Morchellium argus. Finally, I noticed a shanny Lipophrys pholis hiding in a crevice. It was too large to capture its whole face with the macrolens so I tried to get one eye at least. It will be fun to try to get some fish portraits next time. Btw, catch me on instagram: @an_bollenessor.
Macro practice
I managed to squeezed two snorkel sessions in this week to practice with the macrolens. Today it was sunny and still, finally after weeks of bad weather. I returned to the same Rainbow wrack as pictured in the last post and found some other mollusc species but none of the shots worked. (Also, very annoyingly, I had not put the lens on the 1:1 macro setting meaning I had to get out of the water, walk back to the car to dry my hands, remove the camera from the housing, set the lens and then come back…) Because I always (and often) snorkel at the same spot, I know where certain individual seaweeds are. I returned to a Codium plant on which I had seen the solar-powered seaslug Elysia viridis before and found one, 1-cm long individual. I spent most of my time trying to get a decent shot of this slow, cooperative individual. I am getting the hang of it, and played around minimising depth of field to get more light in and to remove distracting background. The backscatter is still a problem. I think having a snoot could work wonders, but I probably should try to practice some more and not fall into the trap of buying new toys. I was too lazy to meticulously tweak photos on Photoshop but used Windows Photos to spice them up, see below for a before and after:
Last Sunday the weather was less good. Instead of lying motionless in front of a sacoglossan , I lay motionless in front of a European cowrie Trivia monacha. I could not position my strobe well, at least, that is my excuse. What is always interesting to see when looking at photos on the computer later are the other, even tinier, organisms photobombing such as this amphipod on the right side of the shell:
Macro Shenanigans
I had my first two outings trying the the mzuiko 66mm macrolens with strobe this week. I managed to make some OK pics more due to luck than wisdom! It is actually not that difficult to find interesting subjects, but getting finding them back in the zoom finder is quite tricky (I usually point at a subject with my finger and then try to find a big white blob back when looking at my camera, then hoping to encounter the animal somehwre nearby). I managed to find a Least chink shell Lacuna parva spent on a Rainbow wrack Cystoseira tamariscifolia plant and spent 30 minutes looking at it. Although there is not much definition on this tiny (5mm) all-white organism, the blue background looks great. I will definitely go back to specifically look for (slightly bigger) things on Rainbow wrack! (The iridescence of this seaweed means that if the (strobe)light hits it at a different angle it is a dull brown rather than a deep blue or purple.) To give an idea of how tiny some things are see the photo above of the shell-less mollusc Runcina coronata (this is an ophistobranch, it does not have gills on its back as do nudibranchs), it was really, really tiny! This photo is nice for ID purposes but I do not expect I can take good photos of species this small (you reallly need an additional macro wetlens for that). I only later noticed the even smaller mollusc Flat skenea Skeneopsis planorbis next to it. (I identified this species using the excellent new Essential Guide to Rockpooling by Julie Hatcher and Steve Trewhella by the way, highly recommended!). I also noticed I need to clean my finger nails! (More tiny molluscs were present, including Eatonina fulgida.) Next, the mollusc Tritia reticulata (which I knew under the names Nassarius reticulatus or Hinia reticulata….) or Netted dog whelk in common parlance. These are very active and fun animals. The macrolens really brings out how battered and overgrown the shell is and the beady little eyes also stand out. A little hermit crab posed nicely as well. Another difficulty is working the strobe. Unlike the 'normal' ambient light photography I am used to, the image after clicking is different from that seen through the viewfinder so it is trial by error. Often the subject is not properly exposed. Also, floating particles cause backscatter. Perhaps I should try a snoot to minimise this effect, which can ruin an otherwise decent (in focus) photo, like this one of a Stalked jellyfish Haliclystus octoradiatus which are common at the moment. (Notice the tiny molluscs on the seaweed in the background.)Finally some random pics: a Light bulb seasquirt Clavelina lepadiformis, two colonial seasquirts (a Morchellium argus and a Didemnid species) and a Bryozoan (it is late and I have not looked up the species). A whole new world opens up if you look at the tiniest denizens of rock pools, all complex, colourful and fascinating!

Are you faced with either moving to downsize or remodeling to age in place? Maybe your family is outgrowing your home but you're in the town's top school district. Every year millions of Americans are faced with the choice to remodel or move.
Deciding which is right for you can be difficult. However, if going green and healthy living appeals to you, a green home remodel might just be the answer you're looking for.
Today's enthusiasm for green home remodels and building products originated during the energy crisis of the 1970s. Scientists, architects, and builders began questioning the wisdom of glass-and-wood structures that required energy-intensive cooling and heating systems.
When it comes to going green, building manufacturers continue to find ways to improve energy efficiency in homes as well as develop products that are sustainable.
Kitchen and Bathroom Countertop Options for Green Living
Countertops made with sustainable materials and green manufacturing practices make beautiful countertops and are sure to be the topic of dinner conversations for years to come. From paper-based countertops (yes, you read that correctly) to recycled glass and cement countertops, there is a wide range of eco-friendly products that will beautify and boost your kitchen's value.
Recycled Glass Countertops
Recycled glass countertops divert glass from ending up in landfills and are made from fragments of post-consumer and post-industrial reclaimed glass. A cement or resin binder is used to create slabs that are customizable for kitchen and bathroom countertops as well as a whole host of other uses.
Countertops made from post-consumer glass and cement are pricey but then again so are marble and granite countertops. Prices vary by region but can run anywhere from $75 to $150 per square foot including installation for recycled glass countertops.
In case you're wondering, granite and quartz countertops typically run between $50 and $100 per square foot including installation.

Recycled Paper Countertops
If going green has done one thing, its introduced new ideas and done away with old and perhaps misguided perceptions. Like paper and water don't go together. If you think recycled paper countertops sound suspect and soggy, think again. Manufacturers such as Richlite and Paperstone divert paper from ending up in landfills by compressing it into a stone-like material that can withstand extreme weather conditions.
Initially designed for skateboard park ramps, science labs, and marine environments, Richlight and Paperstone recycled paper slabs have proven they've got muscle. These companies were on the frontier of the going green movement. Today, these material are also seen frequently on the exterior of buildings adding both beauty and durability.
If you are considering Corian but want an earth-friendly bent, paper composite countertops are environmentally friendly; Uses FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) post-consumer paper and non petroleum, formaldehyde-free resins, some made from cashew nut shell liquid. An added benefit? Paperstone can be cut and shaped with standard woodworking tools.
Watch this exciting video to see how recycled paper countertops are made. The results might impress you!

Green Home Remodel Energy-Saving Tips
Before beginning a going green remodel project, check with your local utility provider. Many offer Weatherization Assistance Programs or a Home Energy Audits. Most states offer some type of energy incentive program to help homeowners offset energy costs.
Another tip we can't ignore is getting a Home Energy Audit. You can hire a professional or seek out a non-profit specialist to come to your home who will spend anywhere from 2- to 4-hours assessing your home's energy consumption.
Some common ways homes lose energy are air leaks through gaps in windows and doors, insufficient or deteriorated insulation, and the use of incandescent bulbs in light fixtures. Follow this link to learn more about energy savings programs offered through the Department of Energy.
Going Green is Good for the Planet and Good for Homes
Green building (also known as sustainable design) aims to reduce energy consumption and the overall impact to the environment. Green products help homeowners achieve a wide range of goals including saving money and improving indoor air quality.
If your home was built to standard building codes that do not adhere to green building guidelines, you can make a difference. Green home remodel products can save energy and improve indoor air quality.
An added benefit? Green building products work together to increase the comfort, health, quality, and value of your home. Contact your local green home building professional to help you remodel a kitchen, a bathroom, or, even your backyard deck.

Psi Ursae Majoris (Psi UMa, ψ Ursae Majoris, ψ UMa) is a star in the northern circumpolar constellation of Ursa Major. It has an apparent visual magnitude of +3.01,[2] making it a third magnitude star and one of the brighter members of the constellation. Parallax measurements place it at a distance of 144.5 light-years (44.3 parsecs) from Earth.[1] This is sufficiently close that the magnitude of the star is only reduced by 0.05 due to extinction.[4] In Chinese astronomy, Psi Ursae Majoris is called Tien Tsan or Ta Tsun, "Extremely Honorable".[10] The name was possibly derived from the word 太尊, Pinyin: Tàizūn, meaning Royals, because this star is marking itself and stand alone in Royals asterism, Purple Forbidden enclosure (see Chinese constellation).
The spectrum of this star matches a stellar classification of K1 III,[3] with the luminosity class of 'III' indicating this is an evolved giant star that has exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core. As a consequence, it has expanded to around 20[6] times the radius of the Sun. It is radiating roughly 148[6] times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged outer envelope at an effective temperature of 4,520 K.[3] At this heat, the star glows with the orange hue of a K-type star.[11]
Psi Ursae Majoris is a member of the thin disk population of the Milky Way. It is following an orbit through the galaxy with a low eccentricity of 0.02 that will carry it between 26.5–27.8 kly (8.1–8.5 kpc) from the Galactic Center. The low inclination of its orbit means the star will only stray 130 ly (40 pc) from the galactic plane.[8]

The current depletion of fossil fuels and environmental degradation are requiring greater energy efficiency in buildings,
particularly in the residential sector. However, environmental improvement actions for dwellings are usually based on
general considerations, without identifying the most appropriate measurements to be taken in each case, or reviewing
their application with stakeholders. This article puts forward a strategy to propose effective and feasible modifications
in the design or refurbishment of single-family homes to reduce energy use while maintaining indoor comfort. The
improvements proposed are based on dynamic energy simulations of individual models adapted to local realities that
can be carried out by regular professionals. The process includes the review of studies and information on the geographic
area, and compilation of the constructive features and occupancy data of each house to create a proper energy
behaviour model. Possible improvements to the building are then simulated separately in each model and the results
recorded. Subsequently, a budgetary analysis of these alternatives according to construction costs and financial projections
is carried out in order to identify retrofit packages and consult the opinions of residents and builders. The application
of this strategy is demonstrated in the study of several houses in Concepción, Chile, where different sets of measures
have been identified to achieve high reductions in energy demand while having low cost and being highly appreciated
by the participants. This provides a methodology for developing and validating effective solutions for the environmental
improvement of existing dwellings and new housing projects.

Last week I installed my Lichen and Giant Nest for Glastonbury Abbey's Orchard Sculpture Trail – summer '14. This is now the fourth showing of Lichen since it's installation for the Abundance commission last autumn. This time the challenge was to construct Lichen around and up a tree in the Abbey Orchard, which took several days to install! It will be on exhibition until 28th September '14, as will my Giant Nest – so plenty of time to go and visit them there.

Of Form and Texture
A new exhibition starts this Saturday entitled 'Of Form and Texture' at Sidcot Arts Centre, in which some of my work will be on show as part of a selected group: Diane Burnell, Sara Parsons, Debbie Lamb and Laura Howarth are also taking part. My Lichen piece – made originally for the Abundance commission (Garden of Eden) – has now been re-installed as part of the exhibition. It took nearly 2 days to install (thanks to the help of friend Nigel Evans), but is now up and ready for the Launch event on Saturday. It's interesting to see how it changes – a re-invention each time I install.
3 of my sculptures have been on show outside the entrance of Sidcot Arts Centre since February, the first set of work for their new Outdoor Sculpture Programme. One of these featured pieces is Giant Nest – also created originally for the Abundance commission (Garden of Eden).
Below are details of the exhibition – please come along!
More about LOL Cats
I have been made aware that a better image is required….here is the enlargement which hopefully makes things clearer. If you really want to know more visit http://www.lolcats.com/ but I must stress that I don't spend any time on this site!!
Blurred Edges
Kitty Hillier and I have just held a joint exhibition of our work at Walcot Chapel Gallery, Bath, entitled Blurred Edges. I re-installed part of my Abundance work for the exhibition – an interesting exercise re-creating a smaller version of the lichen-inspired piece, which crept up one corner of the chapel space. It was great seeing the work in a completely different setting – a wonderful large indoor space with high ceilings, white walls, and beautiful chapel windows. We had almost 500 visitors, a few who had also visited the Abundance Trail. No permanent home yet for my Abundance pieces, though plenty of interest, so my garden/studio will be their home for the time being.
Horn finds a New Home in Hillcommon
Thursday 17th October saw an early start at Little Yarford Farmhouse, with the artist, garden owners, new owner of the Horn, and 'the removal men' (a team from Mark Butterfield Furniture) on site at 08.30 , AND it wasn't raining!
Paul Ridge of Hazelmere, Hillcommon, is the new owner of the Horn of Plenty, and plans to install it on his land.
Paul said; ' When I first saw the Horn of Plenty I loved its shape, scale and how it looks different from every angle.'
The removal proved to be surprisingly straightforward (from a non participant), although we nearly lost a man in the pond!
Although some of these pictures are blurred, I like them, and I was walking backwards at speed on wet grass!
On we go
It was sad to say goodbye to Esotera – I loved being there. On my final take down day last week Andrew and Shirley were hard at work on their next venture, wonderful aromas brewing in their kitchen for forthcoming Christmas fayres, industrious as always. Thanks to their input we managed to make over £1000 for the NGS from Abundance takings, including entrance fees, crafts, plants, cakes and teas.
The baby pigeons have nearly grown to full size and the garden is almost back to normal, bar a few bare patches of grass.
Some of my Abundance work is now on show in a new exhibition at Walcot Chapel Gallery, Bath with Kitty Hillier (another Abundance artist), entitled 'Blurred Edges'. It runs from 14th – 27th October, open 10.30-4.30 daily, so please come along if you can.

I know its hard to know you have run out of invisible ink but lets assume the invisible ink is still available...How do you read the notes you have written with it?
Shine a torchlight.
Oh Pamda mad, your are so funny...but i need my answer
Didn't I give you an answer?
To make invisible ink - use Lemon Juice & write with it on white paper.To read it - Hold the paper in direct sunlight.
Uh huh!..so now I can read the clues
I think that's dangerous for your eyes.
Hey this reminds me of a bank robbery I heard on the news a few years back, when the bank robbers smeared lemon juice on their faces because they was told it would obscure their faces on the security cameras, they were caught on the same day and sent to prison as someone identified them in person from the bank....
I want to see how Close you can get to the Bumble EK Bring a Rubber Inner Tube ----- U know - A Tyre inner tube
I will claim my prize of a "Seafood dinner" too
I am going to the White Island BT Sacrifice next week. I have to go to Whakatane!! to catch the boat. Do you want some pics EK? It takes us nearly 2 hours to get there!!
Yesss of Whakatane plse Pearldiver , I know Im gonna end up there one day -intuition maybe
Who over 8 years old uses invisible ink?
I can name quite a few. George Washington used invisible ink. When the Declaration of Independence was written, Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, and other people wrote a code on the back of it. This code will lead you to a place where lies a lot of treasure.
NO!!!! they put all their clues on the American dollar bill!! Not invasable ink. special code....
dennisematt , love ya new avatar , wow so pretty!!
me. I am waaaay over 8 years old. And its lots of fun.If you are reading a homemade invisable ink, such as..lemon juice..simply hold it to a light bulb.you dont have to look at it while it is showing up, if your worried about your eyesight.If your using the cool presto chango markers you can get, you need to color over it with thr other marker.If your using ink from a detective/secret angetn/spy kit you got ordering off the back of a cereal box, well, it should have come with directions. Otherwise, its a lousy kit and ask for your money back!!
Uh a black light. Obviously.
OH good one!!
yea that's what I was thinking
You know I was thinking the same Susan!! Then I realised I Do
Now you guys have started lying, Do you mean a blind man can see the invisible ink?
Um no he sees the same thing as before-nothing
Do you mean black also shine?
When we'd use invisible ink as kids you would shine a black light on it to read the message. It is a type of light bulb that gives off a purple glow.
Uuhhhmm!!!!!, let me hope some one is not lying
Er...sort of like a UV light/lamp?
Yeah kinda minus the crazy danger. Black lights are UVA. It makes things glow in the dark. one has ever seen a black light before? In a club? Black light posters? No? I'm not even a product of the 60s and I've had one. http://science.howstuffworks.com/black-light.htm
I pay EK to write hubs for me and sign the checks with invisible ink. (Don't tell her..)
Cabin Girl writes her poems with it, tis why they keep vanishing
Candie V OHHHHHH when I saw officer with handcuffs, I just thought that was a clue for the next hub you requested ( I will have that check under the moonlight tonite, yes sir!)So thats why the officer kept mumblin no'ma'mam, least his mouth said that , his body language weeeelllll...( if wascally BP sees this ) just know whats gonna run through her mind
I'll distract her while you deal with the occifer friendly!
Its glowing no just BP's thigh apple green boots be still , oh racing heart
Guys, if invisible ink can really sell, why not set up a company? But how will we put it in the bottles? How will we pack it?
I've never thought about invisible ink before; but this thread has me wondering if I've been missing a lifetime's worth of messages sent to me - just because I couldn't see the invisible ink! (Does this mean I should hold all that giant stack of printer paper up to the sun?)
You make me laugh out loud!

Have you read the Declaration of Independence?The United States celebrates the birth of its nation on July 4th -- the day the Declaration of Independence was signed. Have you read it in full? Yes or No?

Today's post is inspired by a reader's question. A Culinatour reader wanted to know if she should explore Europe as a road trip and travel by campervan on her next European adventure.
My short answer: A resounding YES!
Just imagine how amazing it would be to travel Europe in one of these…
I'm sharing all the details in this post below where I will cover the following points:
- Why traveling by campervan is the best way to explore Europe like a local
- How to Choose the Best Campervan Rental Company in Europe
- Why Blacksheep Vans is my favourite campervan rental company
- Blacksheep Vans and Culinatour – A match made in heaven
- How to get started planning your European Vanlife adventure
My name is Julia, I am based in the heart of Europe in Frankfurt, Germany and I love everything related to travel, food and campervans!
As a professional travel planner, foodie and vanlife enthusiast it's my mission to introduce to you what Europe has to offer in a way that you would never be able to experience on your own.
The secrets, the hidden gems – once you see Europe this way you'll have a whole different experience.
My goal is to introduce you to the beauty of vanlife and make your next trip to Europe one of the best travel experiences you have ever had.
Why traveling by campervan is the best way to explore Europe like a local
Who doesn't love a great road trip? It's the perfect way to explore all the hidden gems and travel away from the tourist crowds.
Traveling Europe in a campervan provides you with the ultimate level of freedom!
No hotel bookings to tie you down.
No rigid itineraries to follow.
It's a wonderful way to explore Europe as a family, couple or as a solo traveler. You will get to see the real Europe, away from the hordes of tourists.
If you want to travel…
…and not just see the sights but soak in the experience,
…take home memories that bring a smile each time you think of them
…and enjoy Europe the way the Europeans do,
then you are in the right place!
If this sounds like you, I would love to invite you to explore Europe the #Vanlife way!
Here are my top 3 reasons why a vanlife experience is ideal to explore Europe in a truly authentic way.
1. Keep it flexible!
There are no tight schedules, your travel plans can change as you are exploring and you can just sit back and enjoy the European lifestyle.
It's completely up to you: you can explore multiple countries, go active or take it slow and just go with the flow.
2. Travel on your own terms!
Vanlife travel allows you to explore iconic sights before the tourist crowds arrive (there is nothing better than having breakfast amongst the locals before the big tourist busses roll in).
No matter if you want to fall asleep watching the stars or whilst listening to the sound of the ocean, you get to do it your way!
3. Make it 100% YOU!
Travel the back roads to cute little villages and places the locals like to keep as a secret. Weave in all your favourite activities: watersports, hiking, cycling or just chilling by the beach.
Make friends with the locals and get to know their way of living and their delicious local cuisine.
If you want a European adventure that is tailored totally to who you are and what you love, then this is for you!
Traveling Europe by campervan is great for families too!
If you are traveling with a baby or toddler you have all the amenities for changing nappies, swapping clothes, cooking food or taking a nap. It's all right there and available in your campervan.
This is a snapshot of our campervan and within this post I will explain how YOU can travel Europe in a 'home on wheels', too.
How to Choose the Best Campervan Rental Company for a Stress-Free European Adventure Trip
Choosing the perfect Campervan rental company can be quite confusing.
Here's my easy reference guide to help you find the best place for renting your Campervan!
Although we have our own Sprinter van getting converted and outfitted by This Moving House, I've researched many campervan rental companies in the past. Especially before we decided that we wanted to invest in a Sprinter van for ourselves.
Let's start with a detailed list of the criteria I look for when shortlisting a campervan rental company:
1. The Condition of the Campervans
The first thing I look at is the condition of the campervans available to rent.
Are they old? Or new? If old, how old are they? When were they serviced last? Do they look good-to-use or are they shabby and rundown?
Here are a few "red flags" which will help you identify if the van is in a shabby condition:
- run-down tyres – check out this great article by carsguide on how to know when the tyres are worn out
- high mileage, e.g. if the van has over 200.000 km on the clock
- engine stutters when trying to start it – this could be caused by all sorts of issues e.g. a low battery, problem with the engine itself etc.)
2. Pricing and Fees
Next, you want to look at their pricing structure and see if it's clear, transparent and easy-to-understand.
Are there any hidden fees?
What about surcharges during busy season?
Some campervan companies double their fees during the summer season while others don't mention the cleaning fees upfront.
The deposit should not be more than 2.500 Euro and you should have fully comprehensive insurance included as a default.
I know first hand how confusing the pricing of campervan rentals can be. And as with any product or service, there is a significant price range.
If you are unsure if you are getting a good bang for your buck when renting a campervan, feel free to get in touch with me to discuss the details.
3. The Staff and Team
Then, you want to chat with the staff and team to see whether or not they're knowledgeable about the technical aspects of the vehicle as well as outdoor travel.
Are they able to give you travel advice for your destination of choice?
Do they know what you should keep an eye out for?
Are they comfortable with the Campervan and can guide you about warning signs; what to look into and what to ignore?
More important, are they easy to reach when you need them, are friendly and approachable, and do they welcome your questions
Speaking of questions, here is a list of possible questions to ask your rental company, such as:
- Does the campervan come with GPS?
- Does the vehicle have built in cameras to assist in parking your campervan?
- Does the rental offer things like bedding, kitchen equipment, plates and cutlery?
- What's the fuel consumption of the campervan? How many liters per 100kms should you expect?
- How many people can travel comfortably in the campervan without feeling cramped?
4. The Inclusions and Exclusions
Next, you want to get super clear on what's included versus what's an optional add-on.
Does the van have a proper camping kitchen and not a basic box with a camp cooker?
Are bedding, utensils and cutlery included? What about camping equipment?
If the basics aren't included, your costs can quickly add up since you'll need all of this for an enjoyable trip.
You also want to check the mileage included per day. Make sure it's aligned with your travel plans because some companies can charge a bomb if you overrun on the agreed mileage.
5. The Customer Experience
Finally and most importantly, what's the customer experience like, right from the beginning till van handover and then, the return.
Do they offer free test-drives and answer all your questions openly and completely?
Do they have an emergency 24-hour hotline that you can use in case there's an accident or theft?
Do they do a detailed handover of the van that includes a complete explanation of all the technical features?
How do you feel when you interact with them?
This is it, my personal checklist that I use before renting a campervan. I know, renting a campervan in Europe can seem a bit overwhelming at first.
But don't worry, I've got you covered!
I am happy to help you organise your perfect campervan adventure in Europe. Here is a link to find out more:
Why Blacksheep Vans is my favourite campervan rental company
During my research of the best European campervan rental companies I came across Blacksheep Vans, a French company that really goes the extra mile for their customers.
I just had to share why I love what Blacksheep does for adventure-loving travelers looking to rent a campervan.
You'll see how they check everything off my fairly picky list.
Blacksheep has beautiful, brand-new VW California vans available to rent. They swap out the entire fleet at least every other year so when you rent with them you get the latest VW Campervan! How cool is that?!
The following accessories and equipment are included in every Blacksheep campervan:
- outdoor table,
- inside table,
- chairs,
- kitchen unit equipped,
- storage box,
- gas stove,
- 12V cooler,
- water tank,
- kitchen utensils and crockery
Here's a glimpse of everything that's "always on board":
Their offer includes comprehensive insurance cover which you can upgrade based on the level of security you wish to have. They have a 24-hour emergency number as well. So you don't have to worry about being stranded in the middle of nowhere.
Plus, I love how they go the extra mile for their customers and make the minimum rental period only 2 days! That's very rare with campervan rental companies (they usually set the minimum rental period to 5 or even 7 days). So with Blacksheep Vans you can easily just explore the vanlifestyle for a weekend break or a music festival.
And here is another great thing about Blacksheep:
Their campervans are not only cool, modern and fully specced, they are also quite affordable!
You can rent the amazing VW California campervan from 71 Euro per day and their VW Caddy based Mini Camper from 41 Euro per day.
So where in Europe can I rent one of these fantastic Blacksheep campervans, Julia?
I'm glad you asked! 😉
Blacksheep Vans currently has 35 agency locations across France, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and the latest addition to their agency network is *drumroll* my hometown: Frankfurt, Germany!
Lucky for you, I've connected with the best of the best. Through these relationships I am in a position to hook you up with Blacksheep Vans across all of their locations in Europe.
If you are interested, I'd be happy to extend my recommendations to you – let's connect and chat about your specific travel needs to make sure you have the best experience imaginable.
Blacksheep Vans and Culinatour – A match made in heaven

Delivery Method(s) Used: clean, glass pipe
Cannabinoids Profile: THCa 33.51%; THC 0.01%; CBDa 0%; CBD 0% (ACT Labs)

Phenotype Profile: Perfectly cured, rock-hard, bright green nugs dripping in trichomes.
Density: 4.5 [1 – 5]
Terpenes Profile: I did not request the lab for this sample so I will not be providing specific terpene levels for this product.
In their intact state, these buds emitted chem and earth with notes of fuel and citrus. Once ground, the chem and fuel take over. When smoked, I tasted chem and earth up front, followed by light fuel and sweet hash notes. In joint form, I could detect more citrus than in a pipe. The smoke is smooth but also expands and is cough inducing.
TIPS:I did peek at the lab for this flower and it's worth noting that there is Valencene in this sample. To learn about terpenes, see the Terpenes Library.
Effects: For me, this experience was a true expression of the genetics. At first, there's the unmistakable chem dawg cerebral high. After about 10 minutes, the kush kicks in and meets up with the head high, resulting in a pleasant mind and body euphoria. The chem dawg keeps the couch lock in check and I didn't experience a hard crash at the end. Potent, functional and clean.
Duration of Effects: 2+ hours
May Help With: Helped with G.I. cramps. May also help with stress, mood, depression, PTSD, anxiety (in small doses) mild-to-moderate pain, headaches (and more)
Rating: 5/5

The LA DODGERS and the MILWAUKEE will both be gunning for a victory on 10/19/2018 at 8:35 PM when they meet in a game matchup.
GAME: Los Angeles Dodgers (98-74) at Milwaukee Brewers (101-70)
DATE/TIME: Friday, October 19 – 8:39 PM EST
WHERE: Miller Park, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
|8 (110)
|8 (-110)
Oddsmakers currently have the MILWAUKEE listed as 110 point favorites versus the LA DODGERS, while the game's total is sitting at 8.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are one win away from a second straight trip to the World Series, but they will have to earn that victory on the road. The Dodgers will try to close out the best-of-seven National League Championship Series when they visit the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday for Game 6.
"It wasn't as easy maybe as last year to get to this point," Los Angeles ace Clayton Kershaw, who pitched a gem in Game 5, told reporters. "I realize we've got some work to finish it off and get back. It doesn't really matter how you get there, but thankful that we are here now, for sure." The Dodgers fell behind 2-1 in the series after dropping Game 3 at home but turned up the pitching over the next two contests and limited the Brewers to a total of three runs in 22 innings in the two wins. "We were unable to score enough runs, really, I think that was the bottom line of the three games here," Brewers manager Craig Counsell told reporters. "We gave ourselves a chance through obviously 12 innings (Tuesday) and six innings (Wednesday) to try to put ourselves in a good spot, and they've done a good job of holding us down offensively." Milwaukee will try to find a way to push some runs across against left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu while making some history by tossing lefty Wade Miley at the start in back-to-back games.
TV: 8:39 p.m. ET, Fox Sports 1
PITCHING MATCHUP: Dodgers LH Hyun-Jin Ryu (1-0, 1.59 ERA) vs. Brewers LH Wade Miley (0-0, 0.00)
Ryu tossed seven scoreless innings to earn a win over the Atlanta Braves during the NL Division Series but was not quite as sharp in Game 2 at Milwaukee. The South Korea native was reached for two runs on six hits over 4 1/3 innings in a no-decision. Ryu did not allow more than two runs in any of his last five starts going back to the regular season and has yet to be reached for more than three earned runs on the season.
Miley started Game 5 but threw only five pitches, issuing a walk to Cody Bellinger, before being replaced by right-hander Brandon Woodruff in a surprise move designed to give Milwaukee a matchup advantage. "It's not my job to question it," Miley told reporters. "We're trying to get to the World Series. This is the strategic side of it. I was in. Everybody bought in." Miley dominated Los Angeles in Game 2, scattering two hits over 5 2/3 innings without factoring in the decision.
1. Brewers star RF Christian Yelich is 3-for-20 without an extra-base hit in the series.
2. Los Angeles RHP Pedro Baez has thrown 6 2/3 scoreless innings and allowed a total of two hits with 10 strikeouts in six postseason appearances.
3. Milwaukee navigated Game 5 without using relievers Josh Hader, Corey Knebel or Jeremy Jeffress, and all three should be ready to go Friday.
PREDICTION: Brewers 4, Dodgers 2

About Me
I have the simple philosophy that all students can learn. It is simply a matter of finding the unique learning style that best serves the student. It is my desire to help students become engaged in their learning. It is also my belief that all students should be given the opportunity to take risks, share ideas, and grow to their full potential through their unique interests and curiosity.
I received my Bachelor's Degree in English from Tennessee State University and then became a licensed English teacher in the state of Tennessee.
Since 2001, I have been an educator in the city of Memphis. I have worked with middle school and high school students. Those students had very diverse backgrounds (economic, racial, and religious). I also had the opportunity to work with students in an alternative setting.
I normally engage in activities that stimulate my mind and body. I enjoy play chess. I have assisted coaching middle school girls basketball. I also like to read, exercise, and occasionally go bowling for recreation.
