Yesterday I worked on warping the loom. This is my first time doing this so it's taken forever. I have 7 + yards of 5/2 pearl cotton on the beam. I warped front to back and all was well until I did my first tabbies. Using strips of fabric as weft, I did about 5 passes and it was EASY to tell that I had made 2 glaring errors somewhere along the way.
1 fix was easy. Cut out the extra warp thread (threaded 2 heddles on shaft 8 in a row), 2nd fix not so easy... I had skipped a heddle on shaft 3. And I don't mean there was a heddle there that I didn't thread: no heddle, no warp.
Being a novice, I tried to cut an extra length of warp and weight it. Trouble is, no heddle. So I did the UNTHINKABLE. I took the bar off of the top, scooted the threaded heddles off to a point that I could slide a new one in, put it on, repeated on the bottom and made a BIG OLE MESS.
Enter DH.
"Can't you just unthread up to the point you made the error and then rethread?"
Duh. The error was about 2 inches in and he was right. I untied the warp from the front apron and one by one, rethreaded until it was right. And because of the nature of my error, I was able to take the thread I had cut off in problem 1 and use it for the fix in problem 2. Thank you Scott!
So now it's tied on and I've woven 8 inches with only one minor error. YEAH! The picture below was taken after about 1 inch of real weaving.
The best part about all of this is that the feeling I had at school was not some kind of spiritual anomaly brought on by excitement, muscle fatigue, lack of sleep and the fellowship of new weavers. It was real.
Today, as the shuttle flies through the shed and my feet work the treadles, I still get that buzz. I still feel like the circuit between my head, hands and feet is complete. And I am grateful beyond measure.
So that is the weaving progress.
I was also going to finish my black knit top. And do some cleaning and sorting.
Priorities change.
DH asked me to make "cozies" for his beer carboys. This is not gourmet sewing, but it's gratifying to be able to be able to do something for him in return for all he's done to get me up and weaving. These were made from fleece in my stash. Fairly simple, with elastic in the top to give some shaping at the top, velcro closures on the side and a vinyl window so he can see the temperature at a glance. He liked the prototype so I stitched up 3 more. It took little over an hour since my newly service machine decided it didn't like the double layers of fleece + the velcro. It shouldn't have been a problem so I'm a bit miffed. May have to drag her back in.
Finishing off laundry and then I'll return season 3 Madmen to Blockbusters. (Such evil fun in that office!) Then I'll finish off the hems of the knit top, finish weaving one towel and call it a success. I didn't complete everything I set out to do, but I'm happy to substitute the carboy covers for cleaning/sorting any day.
The Final Say: It's all about balance. And a DH with an analytical mind doesn't hurt either.

September 9, 2016
NASHVILLE, TN USA – Laughter for Soul's founder Mitch Emoff and along with producer Dudley Jacobs took center stage at Lipscomb University's Black Box Theater on Friday, September 9 to discuss the faith-based film market and opportunities for students trying succeed in the competitive world of movie making.
Professor Van Flesher and a group of undergraduate and graduate students participated in the discussion about the current state of transmedia consumption, with particular emphasis on developing projects that embrace private viewing environments like video on demand (AVOD, SVOD, TVOD) and over-the-top (OTT) services. Additional discussions centered around the box office performance of recent faith-based films ("God's Not Dead", "War Room", "I'm Not Ashamed", "Remember the Goal") and Nashville's recent development as a film epic center thanks in part to its history in Christian publishing, music and denominational management.
"Insightful and expansive story tellers are needed more today than ever," said Emoff. "The worldwide appetite for meaningful narratives has never been greater and those filmmakers who embrace these newer technologies with strategic messaging will define our culture."
"The opportunities for financial gain and meaningful impact have never been greater for independent filmmakers," continues Jacobs. "Because of the 'direct-to-consumer' models now in place, the stranglehold of the old gatekeepers is no more. If you have a resonating story, its going to get out there – so go make something great!"

text: Understanding HVAC Ratings before an Air Conditioner Replacement Posted April 30, 2015 When you're looking into an air conditioner replacement, you'll find that the HVAC industry is full of acronyms and baffling terms. You'll want to get acquainted with some of these acronyms and other typically used terms to be able to successfully research your purchase—especially the terms that help interpret energy efficiency. Let's look at some of these terms. What is EER? EER is an acronym for "energy-efficiency ratio." It measures the energy efficiency of an air conditioner when the outside temperature is at or above a certain level. It's best to go with the higher ratings on this one because the higher the EER rating is, the more energy efficient the model is. You could be seeing lower utility bills in no time. ENERGY STAR® Certification You're most likely familiar with ENERGY STAR certification, but it's commonly not explained very well. ENERGY STAR was created in 1992 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The goal was to protect the environment while helping consumers save money on energy by using more energy-efficient products. Products must undergo rigorous third-party testing and meet all of the requirements to become ENERGY STAR certified. So, when you spot the blue ENERGY STAR label while you're looking for an air conditioner replacement, you'll be certain it will save you money. ENERGY STAR - Most Efficient The ENERGY STAR Most Efficient designation recognizes the products with the highest efficiency among those that are ENERGY STAR certified. These exceptional products represent the leading edge in energy efficient products every year. SEER – Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) is the degree of your air conditioner's or heat pump's cooling efficiency. The major difference between SEER ratings and EER ratings is that SEER measures an air conditioner's efficiency over throughout the entire cooling season, rather than its efficiency at a certain temperature level. Like the EER ratings, higher the SEER ratings are an indication of better energy efficiency. More energy efficiency equals more money savings and a lower impact on the environment. If your air conditioner is getting up there in age, the SEER rating could be as low as 8, while recent, more efficient models range from ratings of 13 – 23. Of course you'll find more acronyms and unfamiliar lingo when you are looking into your air conditioner replacement, but you'll be more prepared by knowing these terms. If you have any questions about terminology you come across in your search or if you need help with your air conditioner replacement, call Kyzar Air Conditioning Inc in West Palm Beach at 561-612-0242.

Great friendly staff! The room is comfortable with a mini fridge and a Nespresso machine available.
Everythings was great.
Quiet place. Nice, clean and comfortable. Good location.
This hotel claims to be a four star hotel. However here is what happened: I called the reception and asked: - can I please request slippers? - we don't provide slippers - is there in room dining available? - no - do you have a dental kit? - yes but you have to come down to the reception I went down to the reception to see the surprised receptionist ask me if I was room 31. Then he started to look for the dental kit in his messy cupboard. Then he ran to another staff member to ask something and came back to tell me they ran out of dental kits. But assured me that they usually have dental kits, but not this week. Like that helps me in any way. So I went back up to my room with nothing. Also, when I checked in and they said I have breakfast included in my rate. The next morning though, when I came down for breakfast they said that it's not included, then they looked into some papers and said it was actually included. I was like are you sure? There is absolutely no structure in how this hotel is being managed. It's a complete mess. I know it is a little bit of Paris style to not give a damn about service, but please don't claim you're a 4 star hotel if you're unable to meet any of the 4 star hotel standards. In the bathroom on the white sink I could see a man's body hair - probably precious guest. The cleanliness could definitely be improved.
We arrived early and they allowed us to leave our baggage there until check in. The room/bathroom was clean and spacious. WiFi was really strong. Overall, no complaints. I would recommend it! Plus it's located really close to many metro stops :)

Today we are introducing our Open Source Software projects page (
/oss). The goal behind this new section is twofold.
First, we want to highlight and share some solutions to interesting problems that we use internally at the company. We find it more effective to document and discuss these solutions in the open, rather than have them confined to internal repositories and knowledge bases.
Second, it's our way of giving back. Our servers and products are powered by the combined efforts of a great many engineers who decided to share their code and ideas in the open.
As a company that has been involved in building and contributing to several popular open source projects, we have learned from many successes and mistakes.
We wanted to share three principles that will govern our company's approach to open source:
We welcome all users, contributors and companies to run and/or contribute to our projects.
We want to make this a harassment-free and respectful experience for everyone involved.
To that end, our projects follow the Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct and we commit to enforcing it on our different community channels (such as GitHub and our public Slack organization).
Open sourcing too many projects that get little attention or resources can end up being counter-productive.
As a rule, we prefer to share those projects that have been internally tested, used and validated, and where we think a big impact can be made.
If a project is deprecated or is bound to receive less attention in the future, we commit to communicating that to our users clearly. Whenever possible, we'll try to find them new curators.
We strive to always distribute our projects under the straightforward and liberal MIT license, or licenses created in the same spirit.
Patents that we apply for will be released under the DPL (Defensive Patent License), which grants other participating organizations free licenses and a commitment to nonagression.
We are accepting of forks, criticism and competition, as they enable progress for all.

World Economic Forum on ASEAN 2018 comes to a close
Updated: 10:10' - 14/09/2018
The World Economic Forum on ASEAN (WEF) 2018, themed "ASEAN 4.0: Entrepreneurship and the Fourth Industrial Revolution", wrapped up on September 13 after three working days with nearly 60 discussions.
Addressing the closing ceremony, Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister Truong Hoa Binh said the WEF ASEAN 2018 gave in-depth and multidimensional assessment of issues important to ASEAN countries' development in the context of Industry 4.0. Many new and good ideas, experiences and policies to inspire businesses and people's entrepreneurship and innovation were shared.
He affirmed that only innovations with multidimensional visions can push countries and businesses ahead in the world today. Therefore, the governments and enterprises of ASEAN need to continue promoting their internal strength, creating a favorable environment for innovations and new things, and creating new growth momentum for prosperous development in a fast changing world driven by new technologies.
The Vietnamese Government is creating a growth-enabling environment and strongly encouraging businesses and people, particularly the young, to bring into play their innovative capacity and startup spirit, and contribute to the country's dynamic development.
Building open and smart education for all is a foundation and an important way to boost innovation so as to ensure that all people can gain from opportunities and benefits of technological advances, Binh noted.
The Deputy PM welcomed many recommendations made at the WEF ASEAN on how to equip people, especially the young, with skills, including digital skills, to master new technologies and meet new jobs' requirements. This is also a chance for companies to increase investment in smart education in ASEAN countries.
He said the world's swift changes have generated big opportunities for ASEAN to realize the ASEAN Community Vision 2025. Aside from enhancing solidarity and consensus and promoting internal strength and resilience, the bloc is opening the door for cooperation with partners in the region and around the world.

Expressing his high expectation of future cooperation, he asked the WEF to work closely with ASEAN members in translating practical ideas and initiatives suggested at this forum into concrete cooperation plans and programs, and to bolster extensive cooperation relations for a Southeast Asia of peace, stability and prosperous development.
At the closing ceremony, Kevin Sneader, Global Managing Partner of McKinsey & Company, voiced his belief that ASEAN countries will join hands to overcome difficulties and increasingly attain prosperous development despite numerous challenges. To reach this, an important solution is that they need to boost investment in the workforce and increase labor productivity.
Optimal conditions for expanding trade markets will appear more and more, so to minimize trade barriers, ASEAN countries need to keep pursuing and maintaining trade agreements with countries and regions around the world, he added.
According to Kevin Sneader, ASEAN is strongly attracting investments from developed countries, but competition from emerging markets with visible impacts requires the grouping's early adaptation to better deal with challenges.
ASEAN countries should increase cooperation and experience sharing on measures to address issues such as budget deficit, domestic market support and speculation in order to have bright prospects in the future, he said.
Assessing Vietnam as a country with strong development potential, he said his company had worked with some Vietnamese partners in Hanoi and HCM City to deliver commitments to continued working, consultancy and support to further develop models serving domestic consumers and ensure growth level.
Anne-Birgitte Albrectsen, Chief Executive Officer of Plan International, said that activities during the WEF ASEAN 2018 offered chances to discuss openly a wide range of issues of concern of the ASEAN governments as well as private and socio-political organizations, especially the inclusion of adaptation amid digital economy and creating conditions for all people to engage in the fourth Industrial Revolution for "no one is left behind".
One cause for great optimism, she elaborated, is ASEAN's "phenomenal investment in education", and one that should translate into greater gender equity in the region's future workforce.
"As education has become more and more inclusive, as girls are superseding boys in attaining high levels of education, the economies are still not taking full advantage of that really fantastic resource: well-educated young women in their workforce," she noted.
Meanwhile, Vietnamese Acting Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung stressed the need for "smart governance" and the willingness of governments, businesses and societies to collectively adapt to rapid technological change.
"Technology can change very fast but the people and governments cannot change so fast and this will be our biggest challenge. So what do we need to do?" he asked. "We have to train people so they are adept at change, not only technological training, but soft skills too. I think the Fourth Industrial Revolution is more about a mindset revolution."
Saying that competition is an essential driving force to enhance development in the era of Industry 4.0, Nazir Razak, Chairman of CIMB Group of Malaysia, stressed that increasing the effective participation of businesses will encourage optimistic changes to create a premise for ASEAN to become a region of booming development during the international integration in the coming time.- (

NUR-SULTAN, May 15, 2019 – Kazakhstan's Ambassador to Spain and Andorra Konstantin Zhigalov recently held a briefing for Kazakh media in Nur-Sultan.
During the briefing, Mr. Zhigalov discussed the development and prospects for cooperation between Kazakhstan and Spain, noting that the friendly relations and fruitful dialogue between the First President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev and King Juan Carlos I have continued with King Felipe VI, as demonstrated by the King's visit to Nur-Sultan in 2017 and his participation in the opening ceremony of the international 'EXPO 2017' exhibition. The Kazakh diplomat emphasized that July of this year marks the tenth anniversary of the signing of the 'Strategic Partnership Agreement between Kazakhstan and Spain'.
The Ambassador paid special attention to trade, economic and investment cooperation between the two nations. Spain is among the ten largest trading partners of Kazakhstan in terms of turnover, the volume of which increased by over 20% in 2018 and amounted to $2 billion, with exports grossing $1.8 billion and imports grossing $179 million. The gross inflow of direct investment from Spain to Kazakhstan in the period from 2005 to 2018 amounted to $205.5 million. Over 65 legal entities, branches and representative offices with Spanish involvement are registered in Kazakhstan, of which over 40 are in operation.
There is significant potential for further cooperation across the transport infrastructure, renewable energy, environment, agro-industry, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, construction, engineering, digital technologies, defense and aerospace, auto parts manufacturing, machinery, metalworking and electrical engineering sectors.
Additionally, the briefing's participants were informed about a number of notable Spanish companies who are implementing and planning to participate in various joint projects, including the construction of waste recycling plants in Kazakhstan, the light rail transit system in Almaty, renewable and traditional energies, oil and gas infrastructure, the development of a nationwide network of wholesale distribution centers, and the production of medical equipment.
At the initiative of First President Nazarbayev, measures have been taken to increase the efficiency of the Kazakh-Spanish Intergovernmental Commission (IGC) on economic and industrial cooperation, as well as the Kazakh-Spanish Business Council. Thus, the coordinating functions of the Business Council were transferred to "Baiterek" holdings last year, presenting new opportunities for cooperation. Last year, successful meetings of the IGC and the Business Council were held in Nur-Sultan, representing a significant step in the development of a legal framework for improving the business environments in the two countries. Bilateral documents on cooperation between the financial development institutions of Kazakhstan and Spain were signed, promoting co-investment across industrial and infrastructure projects, in addition to support for export operations.
On 19-20 March, a Kazakh delegation participated in a road show in Madrid led by Deputy Foreign Minister Ermek Kosherbayev. The road show included the Kazakh-Spanish business forum, of which about 80 Spanish companies participated, as well as a round table with members of the Spanish club of exporters and investors, which included companies and banks representing more than 20% of the country's GDP and 50% of foreign investments.
The political consultations held on 29 March in Madrid under the co-chairmanship of the Deputy Foreign Minister Roman Vassilenko also included discussions of economic affairs. In the consultations between the aviation authorities of Kazakhstan and Spain, the initial text of the intergovernmental agreement on air traffic was drawn up and a memorandum of cooperation, establishing the legal basis for opening direct flights between the nations, was signed.
Mr. Zhigalov further highlighted the importance of establishing cultural and humanitarian cooperation with Spain. Emphasis was placed on the Embassy's work in promoting various projects within the "Rukhani Zhangyru" modernization of national identity program, as well as the upcoming publication of two Spanish-language books: 'Anthologies of modern Kazakh poetry and prose' and First President Nazarbayev's 'Era of independence' book. Among the bilateral cultural events were the opening of the Center of Kazakh literature and art in 2018, the first concert of the Kurmangazy Kazakh State Academic Orchestra, a tour of the 'Astana Opera' state opera and ballet theatre in Valencia with the ballet 'Swan Lake' in 2018-2019, and the premiere of the 'Equus: A Story of a horse' documentary trilogy in April 2019, in addition to other events involving Kazakh citizens.
The Ambassador noted the cooperation of Kazakhstan with Andorra, specifically in the areas of ski tourism as well as with the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), of which he is Kazakhstan's Permanent Representative. The diplomat noted that in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon, Nur-Sultan's Mayor Bakhyt Sultanov presented Nur-Sultan at the Forum of Mayors of Cities and Ministers of Tourism of the UNWTO member countries as the venue of the 8th UNWTO Global Summit on Urban Tourism, to be held on 7-11 October 2019.

Weather: Sunny in Guernsey and throughout whole trip, wind ENE force 2, sea state 1 outward and 2 return.
Summary of sightings:
Sandwich Tern
Common Tern
Herring Gull
Lesser Black-backed Gull
Great Black-backed Gull
Black-headed Gull
Grey Heron
Wood Pigeon
Feral Pigeon
House Sparrow
It was a sunny morning in Poole and when I boarded to collect my MARINElife vest at the information point I was told that every seat was full for the outbound journey. This included 5 coaches . This time the holiday makers were from Lancashire and were very excited for their journey and people were asking lots of questions about the wildlife. I had many interesting conversations with people both on day trips and going on holiday, one family had come all the way from New Zealand. The Condor staff were also keen to report their wildlife sightings. I believe that lots of people were specifically on the Guernsey day trip this time.
Gannet (Library photo: Peter Howlett)
We left promptly and it was lovely to see so many people out on deck. It was really warm and the sun shone throughout the crossing giving great views. As usual the Gannets performed well, sometimes gliding alongside the Liberation. The white of their wings gave a fantastic contrast to the blue sky behind. People were very interested to hear about these awe inspiring beauties.
On approaching Guernsey there were 2 cruise ships anchored outside the harbour entrance, Aegean Odyssey and Europa 2. In the surrounding area were many Great Black-backed Gull which were taking advantage of the nearby fishing vessels.
Aegean Odyssey (Christine Arnold)
I couldn't believe the intensity of the heat as we disembarked in St Peter Port and there were loads of insects taking the pollen and nectar from the myriad of beautiful coloured flowers that had been planted all along the harbour walls.
Whilst on Guernsey I caught the bus around the island where the views of the landscapes were quite phenomenal. I had an excellent view of a Buzzard soaring over the bus and it was lovely to see the Swifts catching insects over the fields where the wild flowers had grown tall with the fine weather. The fine weather had also brought out the people and the beaches were packed with people cooling down in the sea. One ubiquitous sight as we travelled around the island was all the Herring Gull perched on the roofs and chimney pots of the houses.
On the return journey we were bathed in glorious sunshine throughout and had amazing views of the Gannet colony at Ortac. Also this time we could see Gannets had also congregated on the smaller rocks nearby.
Many small boats were out making the most of the beautiful weather and the jet skiers were playing in Liberation's wash. The multitude of small yachts with their multicoloured sails made Poole harbour look particularly colourful in the sunshine.

Thanks to Condor Ferries and the crew of the Condor Liberation for their welcome and assistance during the crossing.
MARINElife/Guernsey WLO Julie Hatcher
Weather: Fair with light winds and calm sea conditions throughout the day.
Summary of sightings:
Bottlenose Dolphin Tursiops truncatus 5
Harbour Porpoise Phocoena phocoena 2
Manx Shearwater
Great Black-backed Gull
Herring Gull
Black-headed Gull
Common Tern
Sandwich Tern
The outer deck was busy with people enjoying the morning sunshine as we sailed through Poole harbour aboard the Condor Liberation. Common and Sandwich Terns were busy flying in and out of the harbour and diving for fish as we passed Brownsea Island and the harbour entrance. The sea was flat calm, the winds light and the sun was shining and as we left Old Harry Rocks behind we started to spot a few solitary Gannets.
Bottlenose Dolphin (Library photo: Peter Howlett)
Sea conditions were smooth for the crossing and a good number of people stayed on the outer deck enjoying the fine weather. Lots of people were interested to learn the variety of animals we might see from the ship and we watched a steady stream of Gannets and a few Manx Shearwater fly past as we crossed the Channel. As we neared the Channel Islands we saw several fishing boats, one with a flock of around 50 Great Black-backed and Herring Gulls following it.
After a lovely afternoon in St Peter Port we boarded the ferry for the return crossing. Again the outer deck was packed with people and as we picked up speed and passed the island of Herm we were delighted to spot five Bottlenose Dolphins just off the starboard side.
Ortac Gannet colony (Library photo: Rick Morris)
We were treated to a spectacular sight as we passed the Gannet colony near Alderney with large numbers of birds both in the air and on the water. Several birds, including some juveniles with their darker plumage, flew close alongside the ship giving us good views. The sea grew calmer and glassy as we headed north and as the Dorset coast came into view we spotted a couple of Harbour Porpoise as they surfaced several times behind us.
Thanks to Condor Ferries and the crew of the Condor Liberation for their interest, support and assistance.

I met with Darren, Christine and Donna at the ferry terminal as they were joining me for a refresher/training day.
After a quick check-in, we were soon boarding the Liberation and headed up to the upper viewing deck to take advantage of the journey through Poole harbour.
As we sailed passed Brownsea Island lagoon we were able to point out a variety of seabirds and terrestrial birds. We left Poole Harbour, passing Old Harry Rocks and chatted to passengers about the wildlife that we may encounter.
Old Harry Rocks (Glynis Northwood-Long)
Just north of Alderney, a shout of 'Dolphins!' went out and we pointed out a pod of Common Dolphin in the wake. From their varying sizes, we were able to identify 3 calves amongst the pod. As they disappeared from view, there was a buzz of excitement from the passengers on deck and nearer to Guernsey, their enthusiasm was rewarded once again when another smaller pod was spotted, this time they were Bottlenose Dolphin!
We arrived in Guernsey on time and in glorious sunshine. In fact, the weather was so good that in our time ashore we decided to explore the sea pools of La Valette, just a short walk away from the port. Christine enjoyed a swim just offshore, whilst we paddled in the sea pools themselves. What a treat! The water was warm and so clear with an abundance of marine life to see, even a lone blue jellyfish in one of the pools. Lunch followed in a cafe overlooking the pools and the harbour, then shopping and a relaxed stroll to the ship to begin the return leg of our journey.

Back on the Liberation, the Captain informed us that a pod of dolphin had been sighted as they approached from Jersey and because tidal conditions allowed, we would be departing from Guernsey back along the channel called Big Russell (Grand Roussell) in the hope of seeing them again. So, we headed back up to the viewing deck and were joined by more interested passengers. Unfortunately, the pod of dolphin proved elusive on this leg of the journey, but we did get some more spectacular views of the Gannet colony highlighted by the sun.

The four of us remained hopeful of spotting more cetaceans on our return journey but as we sailed back passed Old Harry Rocks towards Poole, the sun set behind the clouds and the light faded.
Thanks to Condor Ferries and the crew of the Condor Liberation for making us welcome on board and for their support to MARINElife and also thanks to Darren, Christine and Donna for joining me.

The three of us met at the terminal for this training survey, kindly supported by Condor Ferries, and proceeded to the boarding gate to take the short bus trip on to our survey vessel, the Liberation. Once on board we introduced ourselves to the service manager and I explained the procedure for gaining access to the bridge. We also met up with the MARINElife Wildlife Officers for the day, Terry and Donna Bridgewood, on their way up to the decks. While waiting for the vessel to depart and later within the red zone, we took the opportunity for a cup of coffee and to run through our plan for the day in a full team briefing. This included health and safety, bridge protocols and also our roles and protocols for the survey.
Tim & Kate Bradly on the bridge surveying (Rachel Davies)
Once up on the bridge we ran through the bridge protocols once again along with the instruments used for recording, to ensure all were clear and confident before commencing the survey. While clear skies, with very few clouds made for a lovely sunny day, it did mean a certain amount of glare on the water, making conditions a little trickier, but with no swell and sea state averaging 2, we were feeling confident that if there were cetaceans to be seen on route, we'd see them. Seabirds were fairly low in volume with a large number of those recorded resting on the surface, likely contributed to by the little wind for a helping uplift. However, the variety of species did not disappoint with 17 different species recorded, including Black-headed and Mediterranean Gull, terns and a pretty light phase Fulmar. Sadly, but worth note, of the 12 items of flotsam recorded on this survey, 8 were discarded balloons.

Despite feeling hopeful, we unfortunately did not encounter the resident Bottlenose Dolphin population, of which a pod of around 30 had been observed by the crew and passengers the day before just off the coast of Guernsey. But we were treated to excellent views of the Gannet colonies on Ortac Rock and Les Etacs.
We stayed on board for a spot of lunch in Jersey and re-commenced the survey immediately as we left Saint Helier harbour. It wasn't too long before we were rewarded with a lovely sighting of a Harbour Porpoise feeding, before disappearing under the water as the vessel approached.
After the brief stop on Guernsey, we again re-commenced the survey as we left port. While no further cetaceans were seen on this survey, we continued to record a diversity of seabirds, the most frequent being Gannets, particularly in the area surrounding Ortac Rock.
Poole harbour (Rachel Davies)
We enjoyed sightings of terns, as well as Kittiwake and Black-headed Gull as we passed Old Harry Rocks. Approaching the start of the red zone, we concluded our survey, giving thanks to the crew, and enjoyed a beautiful evening view as we travelled through Poole harbour to port.
We thank Condor Ferries for supporting the ongoing training and we extend our thanks to the Captain and crew for making us welcome.

After boarding the Condor Liberation we introduced ourselves to the staff at the information desk who swiftly escorted us onto the bridge. We could enjoy the sail past Brownsea Island before starting our survey as we exited Poole Harbour.
A couple of Manx Shearwater was a good early sighting along with the usual Gannet and gulls. Our first Harbour Porpoise was seen after two hours. As we approached Guernsey we were asked to leave the bridge due to the many craft in the area plus tenders toing and froing from a large cruise ship anchored in the bay. Bottlenose Dolphin had been seen by the crew earlier in the week but this morning with all the traffic none were sighted.

Beautiful calm conditions continued as we departed for Jersey. Then in a ten minute period we had wonderful views of a total of 21 Balearic Shearwater, quite a few resting on the sea.
After a quick turnaround we were on our return, no more Balearic Shearwater but 12 more Manx Shearwater and a Puffin. The Gannetry of Ortac was an incredible sight in the sunshine with the colony on Les Etacs in the background being equally stunning. Then a loud roar from the crew mess told us England had scored against Sweden!

The calm seas enabled us to record 10 more Harbour Porpoise in four groups before we approached Poole Harbour.
As the pilot boarded we thanked Captain Dowds and made our way from the bridge to await our arrival on time in Poole.

It was a sunny morning in Poole and this time there were a huge number of foot passengers, over 450 people making the most of their Guernsey trip, including passengers from a grand total of 9 coaches. This meant I had many different people to speak with, some came from as far away as Yorkshire and had never been to the Channel Islands. Many of the coach holiday guests were staying in Bournemouth and had specifically chosen to come to Guernsey to remember family holidays or loved ones, some were going just to explore the beautiful island. The sea mist in the distance gave a rather magical appearance to Old Harry rocks and Portland Bill.
It was lovely to tell people about the area and its wildlife and there was even a lady on board who volunteered on a local nature reserve just like me.
Bottlenose Dolphin (Christine Arnold)
The Gannets flew really close to the boat which was rather spectacular. As we approached Guernsey we were able to see many Herring Gull fishing just outside the Harbour entrance. I looked where I usually look for dolphins and sure enough there they were. These were the best views I have ever had, three were further out and we were able to see their fins clearly and just after this another three played in the wash about ten metres from the back of the Liberation. This gave spectacular views as they were so close. They were clearly Bottlenose Dolphin. I was so pleased that the visitors who live inland were able to enjoy this grand spectacle.
I walked to the bus station and was joined by many of the coach holiday guests. We caught the 92 bus round the island and made the most of the brilliant views over and around the island. Even the cows were out eating the grass in the sunshine. The tide was low which embraced an atmospheric view of the many rockpools and landforms.
Just after we had left Guernsey, we were again able to see about three Bottlenose Dolphin playing in the water although they were further out this time. I was able to spot them because the sun was reflecting off their black, wet backs, glistening in contrast to the flat blue water.
On the return journey a Gannet flew so close alongside the ship, just level with it in the sunshine that we were able to see it moving its feet about before it hastily changed direction and flew over to the other side of the ship towards the Gannet colony.
It was great to hear about the happy times that the holiday makers had had during their time on the Channel Islands. A while after passing Ortac rock I decided to go and have a lovely meal from the Casquettes bistro.
Poole pilot boat (Christine Arnold)
On approaching Old Harry rocks someone commented at how eroded parts of it are now looking and it definitely did look smaller. Approaching the harbour we slowed to allow the pilot to board and had great views of the Sandwich Tern busily fishing to find food for their young and we were bathed in a lovely sunset over the Purbecks. There was a Grey Heron perched on the sea wall and many Shelduck and Cormorants and some Oystercatcher on Brownsea lagoon. As Condor Liberation turned round in order to berth we saw probably nearing 100 Herring Gull.
Thanks to Condor Ferries and the crew of the Condor Liberation for their welcome and assistance during the crossing.

- I'm on my second last day of work. As I really wasn't sure I was going to make it this far (I'm working longer this time than last time), I was all prepared to be done sooner and now I have nothing to do! It sort of sucks. But is good for catching up on blogs.
- The very uneventful provincial election ended last night. The outcome, however boring, is good for public servants; this batch of Liberals treats their workforce pretty well, and means that we see no significant deviation from current work going forward.
- Mark and I have just splurged and bought a down duvet and a 600 thread count Egyptian sheet set. So I can look forward to getting a lot less sleep in comfort, anyway.
- As a housewarming gift, my parents got us a slow cooker (which I requested). I soon learned, however, that being out of the house for 10 hours a day doesn't allow for too many recipes that can cook that long (without being completely inedible, like the chicken and broccoli and rice I once tried). So I have a plan that I am going to start using it once number 2 arrives – I need to start finding some decent recipes. I have one seemingly okay source, Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook, but I haven't attempted anything inside yet. It sort of makes sense to me that I can take advantage of naptime for a little meal prep, and then leave it to cook for a few hours (not 10). And with the cold finally moving in, something hot and hearty will be good for us all.
- Last time I was about to go on mat leave, I had all kinds of grand plans for how I would spend my time. This time, no expectations. I mean, I might have a few days; I might have 3 or 4 weeks to go. Basic stuff like dishes and laundry is enough to do for now.

FIAT 1600 S OSCA Coupe 1964 for sale
I think the little Osca is one of the prettiest little cars around in this price class! OSCA, of course, is what the Maserati Brothers did with their lives after selling their names and their lives' work (up to that point) to the Orsi Group in 1937. They were racers at heart, and unlike Ferrari a decade later (and, indeed, the Orsi-owned Maserati marque), didn't want to be fussed with production cars to pay for the venture. The brothers Maserati just wanted to build competition cars--whole cars (chassis, engines, the lot)--and go race 'em. And when their ten-year contractual employment with Orsi ended, they did exactly that.
Exterior: Repainted long time ago and still looks nice. Good chrome and original glass. Some of the rubber parts are a little dry, but still doing their job of keeping the water out. This is the updated and last 1600s Osca that came in 1963 with flat hood and extra lights in the grill. In these pics well fitting Cromodora wheels from a Dino. But also the original steel wheels with hubcaps are along with the car.
Interior: Wonderful red leather complimenting the outside dark blue very nicely. All instruments in very good condition and that beautiful original Nardi steering wheel.
Engine: Some may confuse OSCA's engine with Fiat's own homegrown 1,500cc pushrod four, which was in production around the same time, and believe that OSCA's alloy twin-cam head (with chain-driven cams and mechanical tensioners) was fitted to a standard-issue Fiat block. Not true: Fiat's 1,500 was derived from the Lampredi-designed 1,800/2,100/2,300 inline-six (indeed, this 1,500 was two-thirds of the 2,100cc version). Part of the confusion, beyond similar displacements, lies with the notion that Fiat themselves built the OSCA engines--although they were hardly mass produced, requiring plenty of fettling by hand. But the cast-iron block is completely different from a production-line Fiat unit, and the pistons, rods and crank were forged, rather than cast as Fiat's passenger-car-engine pieces were. Standard-issue OSCA engines received a single Weber carburetor, while the upgraded S model received twin side-draft Webers; other visual tells between the Fiat and OSCA 1,500s include a tubular header in lieu of an exhaust manifold, the aluminum engine front cover and the finned oil pan. The engine in the car is just broken in and the oil is like pure honey still.
2019-04 a service with new oil and filter, all fluids checked, spark plugs, a new exhaust system and the brakes where also serviced. Then the car was taken trough technical inspection (TUF) here in Sweden.
History: This car was sold new in Verona in 1964 and the man I bought this car from had it since 1975! Having worked at FIAT, he picked this very special car to cherish and own for many years. I bought the car in Verona 2016.

Fiat 503 Torpedo 1926
FIAT 503 Torpedo 1926 for sale
This car was sold new here in Sweden back in 1926 and was first registered in Stockholm in 1927. After 24,000km the FIAT was left standing since the family bought a new car. The car was left standing until 1957 when it was sold off. The new owner had the engine rebuilt with new pistons and during the year 1957-1962 put the rest of the car back to its former glory. It has since then been used only for classic car rallies and short pleasure drives. It is still today in a fantastic condition and a very original car with only less than 30,000km driven from new!
Exterior: Nice black and green paint with lovley patina. The trunk in the back was specially built for the car here in Sweden. New tyres have been fitted recently. What is not showing on these pictures are the very nice original side screens, also in fantastic condition.
Interior: Original leather interior in wonderful condition! I do not think many of these cars still have the original leather.
Engine: Starts right up easily and can easily take off on second gear. You are cruising in 60-70km/hour.
Fiat 2100 "En Plein" Vignale
FIAT 2100 Vignale Coupe 1961 for sale
This is a Fiat 2100 En Plein Vignale from 1961. I think there are only a handful cars like this left in the world today. It is very difficult to find a production number, but I do not think more than 10 cars were built. Some say no more than 3 in this configuration!
Vignale was an Italian coachbuilder between the years 1948-1973 when it was sold to Ford.
Vignale designed and built cars, usually low volume variants of the main production cars. Most people have never seen a car like this. Some people would say it is ugly, and some would say it is a design masterpiece. I would have to agree with the latter, perhaps since I like cars so rare that you can be 100% sure you will never meet another one when you are out driving!
The platform for this car was a Fiat 2100 saloon car and from there it is a bespoke body and interior. The hood and trunk are aluminium and the rest of the body is made from steel.
The motor is a straight 6 cylinder unit with 2100cc, but this car has today the slightly bigger 2300cc engine with double Webers that give it 120hp. This engine has covered 10,000km and was factory new when it was installed. The original 2100 engine is fully rebuilt and comes along with the car as a spare.
The total travel today is 118,000km and this is fully documented. Original service book is with the car and lots of other documentation through the years. It was owned by one family from new and this family was the owners of a dealership, so this car was always properly maintained and used carefully.
And for this reason it is still today in a very good condition. It was repainted some time along the way. It is not a show paint but it is very much in harmony with the overall condition of the car.
Early rust protection and always dry storage have saved it from rust.
It is very easy and comfortable to drive. It does have a backseat and therefore can seat 4 people in total even though it is small in the back.
The car is very original! Perhaps the most original in its existence and this may be the car used in Vignale's commercial photo of this model, since it is in the same color scheme. The car is white and has dark blue stripes on the sides, blue roof and blue rims.
The dark blue cloth on the seats is still the original, even though it is slightly sun faded today. The original rubber mats on the floor and in the trunk.
Fiat 500 Topolino
FIAT 500 Topolino for sale
This adorable litle Fiat from 1947 has been restored and not used after completion. The body and chassi were sandblastered, coated, painted and then rust protected. It was painted in the original color scheme.
New interior and wiring.
Engine was rebuilt with new pistons and bearings. New tyres and new sunroof. This is a good car, but not perfect!
Fiat 1500 Convertible
For Sale: Fiat 1500 Convertible 1964 by Pininfarina
This car was sold new in Stockholm, Sweden. Had one user family that left the car with a paintshop, but the paintshop was gone when then came to pick up their car. They later got the car back but all chrome details and lamps etc vanished. In this stage I bought the car a long time ago. I had the car painted in its original Rosso red. I bought a spare parts car to get all the correct parts and then had them rechromed. It has the original hardtop and softtop. Original carpet in color and material ordered from Italy. Seats are original and very nice. It has a total of 70,000km and is guaranteed rustfree.

Pininfarina 124 Spider
Pininfarina 124 Spider 1985 med endast 3360mil!
Herr Öjesten från Sverige bodde i Frankrike på 80talet och hade länge funderat på att köpa en klassisk sportbil av märket Pininfarina från Italien. Han kontaktade sin lokala Fiat handlare som sålde dessa bilarna och de arrangerade så att Herr Öjesten personligen fick åka till Pininfarina fabriken och hämta ut en av de sista bilarna och sedan köra den tillbaka till Frankrike.
1986 kom bilen sedan hem till Sverige och användes mycket sparsamt under sommrarna i Båstad. När Herr öjesten gick bort gick bilen i arv till son sonen. Denna tog väl hand om bilen och den förvarades alltid i garage.
Bilen blev sparsamt använd genom åren och har idag endast rullat 3360 mil! Den ser fortfarande ut som en ny bil och är helt original. En modern stereo har monterats, men original täcklock finns kvar. Bilen har aldrig blivit omlackerad eller bättrad. Inga bucklor och väldigt lite stenskott.
Nyligen servad med nya oljor och filter, tändstift. Vi har gått igenom bromsarna och bytat kamrem. Bilen levereras nybesiktigad.
Mer bilder kommer i veckan.
