Scott Stewart and Concept Win Grand Hunter Championship at Lake Placid Horse Show
Sunday, June 30, 2013
Posted by Classic Communications
Lake Placid, New York - While rain forced cancellation of the featured jumper classes Friday at the 44th annual Lake Placid Horse Show, Presented by Sea Shore Stables, LLC, many of the hunter classes ran as scheduled. Classes in the Richard M. Feldman Grand Prix Field were called off in order to preserve the field for the weekend's Classics and Grand Prix.
After Thursday's classes, Scott Stewart of Wellington, FL was honored as Grand Hunter Champion for his stellar performances with Concept in the Green Conformation division. Stewart, a perennial winner at Lake Placid and on the hunter-jumper show circuit, totaled 50 points on Concept to earn the Grand Championship. He also won championships in the First Year Green and High Performance Hunter divisions on Loyalty and in the Performance Hunter division on Declaration.
Stewart says he enjoys showing at the Lake Placid Horse Shows because he believes the management, "Just knows how to put on a good horse show. They also create such a relaxed and fun atmosphere that is hard to find anywhere else."
Stewart noted that, "Concept is a green horse but has definitely grown up and shown great consistency this week. I am very happy with the way he rode."
Stewart's Student Tori Colvin Honored as Grand Junior Hunter Champion
Stewart's student Victoria Colvin earned Grand Junior Hunter Championship honors on Ovation. "Ovation and I have been together for many years," she said. "He holds a special place in my heart and I always enjoy winning with him."
Colvin hopes to defend her championship in next week's $15,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby presented by Eastern Hay & Grain and Purina Animal Nutrition. She plans to ride Inclusive on whom she won the title last year. The Derby is the culminating class for the hunters in Lake Placid and it gives them a rare chance to compete in the all grass Richard M. Feldman Grand Prix Field.
This week's Lake Placid Horse Show will culminate with the $75,000 Equine Insurance Services/Great American Grand Prix of Lake Placid on Sunday. Next week's I Love New York Horse Show will feature the $100,000 Woodlea Farms Grand Prix on Saturday marking the first time the Lake Placid Horse Shows are offering a $100,000 Grand Prix!

During the recent wildfires, kids in the Bay Area spent many school hours indoors due to the smoky conditions. Being cooped up in the classroom for more than a day or two often leads to feelings of boredom, frustration, and even anxiety or anger.
When children face a situation in which they're stuck indoors, teachers, therapists, and parents can help. The smoke was an unusual scenario, but kids might also be forced to stay indoors for other reasons, including other bad weather or an injury or illness. Whatever the cause, it's helpful to give students extra support as needed and to offer activities that help them express and cope with their emotions. Here are some suggestions to use in the classroom, during therapy sessions, or also at home:
- Take time to talk about what is going on with your students/children. Greet them, check-in, and have classroom or family meetings. Some kids may need one-to-one support.
- As you're talking, make sure to acknowledge the child's feelings and try to connect. Let them know you are there for them.
- Help kids settle down with breathing activities that are easy to do: http://makesociallearningstick.com/blog/-breathe-in-breathe-out-and-something-more
- Read books about emotions as a way to start the conversation about feelings and how to express them. Here are some options: http://makesociallearningstick.com/book-recommendations.html
- Try these other activities for exploring emotions: https://www.apperson.com/teach-talk/10-activities-to-help-students-explore-emotions
Developing the ability to understand and express emotions gives kids a powerful tool that's useful in many situations throughout life. The activities above provide a good start for helping children cope with a variety of difficult or painful experiences.

How to Use:
- Full instructions in English would be downloadable upon purchase
- Note: If you need to learn exactly how to use the materials correctly, you may wish to attend my Home Practice Intensive Workshop
Our feedback
The A4 image training cards are huge and easy to keep the child's focus.
The eye training cards are easy to use. For a younger child, simply lay a transparent plastic sheet over it and let the child trace the patterns with a dry erase marker pen.
My older kids enjoy working on the eye training worksheets over and over again. To re-use them, I slot the day's worksheet into a transparent plastic sheet protector and let the child use a dry erase marker pen.
The Mandala cards are a hit with 5-year old Vee. He has finally reached the sensitive period for colouring and enjoys filling up the Mandala patterns.
There're 2 blank outline copies for each Mandala pattern — good if the child wishes to repeat, or for the next child. Since I have 3 children, I like the outline copy behind the original Mandala card, which means I can photocopy more if needed.
For a clean learning area, we prefer to use Crayola or ELC washable marker pens than the ones that come with the set.

Do You Know the Cost of NOT Owning Your Home?
With Rents continuing to climb and interest rates staying low, many renters find themselves gazing over the homeownership fence and wondering if the grass really is greener. Leaving aside, for the moment, the difficulties of saving for a down payment, let's focus on the monthly expenses of owning a home: it turns out that renters currently paying the median rent in many markets could afford to buy a higher-quality property than the typical (read: median-valued) home without increasing their monthly expenses."

Impotence Prevention Important to Men
Raise the issue of impotence prevention and a survey across several countries shows remarkable agreement amongst the men spoken to, regardless of cultures: half of all the men interviewed say they'd do "nearly anything" to cure impotence.
Men interviewed about impotence prevention said:
- Impotence is a source of great sadness to them and their partners
- Most feel they are not too old for sex
- Most agree it is important to feel they can perform sexually
- Half of all men say they'd do "nearly anything" to cure impotence
So what are the factors men can control to prevent impotence? It turns out there are many life style choices which have a big impact on whether impotence develops in later life. The most important of these is anything that affects bloodflow to the penis.
- Obesity
- A sedentary life style
- Smoking
Heart Health Key to Impotence Prevention
Heart health – and even more specifically cholesterol levels – appear to offer important keys in preventing impotence in later life, according to recent scientific studies.
Elevated blood cholesterol is becoming one of the most important risk factors for the development of impotence with a University of South Carolina study showing that a total cholesterol level of 240 mg/dl more than doubles the chances of developing severe impotence.
(Total cholesterol levels of less than 200 mg/dl are considered desirable, 200 – 239 mg/dl are borderline, and 240 mg/dl and over is considered high.)
About 80 per cent of all impotence is caused by arteriosclerosis, (hardening of the arteries) which is caused in turn by high cholesterol levels.
A meta-analysis of research published in the Journal of Internal Medicine reported on how lifestyle changes and medication to treat cardiovascular risks affected erectile dysfunction. In six studies that included 640 participants, four dealt with lifestyle changes, and two with the use of statins.
All studies showed that as diet and exercise improved along with lipid profiles (cholesterol levels), so did symptoms of erectile dysfunction.
Taking simple steps to care for your heart health:
- Exercising regularly
- Eating well
- Keeping weight at healthy levels
- Taking steps to reduce cholesterol levels can make a big difference in preventing impotence and maintaining sexual health.
Chronic Illness Factor in Impotence Prevention
A US National Institutes of Health study shows men with chronic illness like:
- Heart disease
- High blood pressure
- Diabetes
are up to four times more likely to become totally impotent than men without these diseases.
- Smoking boosts impotence odds even higher.
And the medications used to treat many chronic conditions – for example high blood pressure medications – can also affect both sex drive and the ability to get an erection.
One Australian study on the sex lives of 32,000 men between the ages of 75 and 95 found beta blockers which are used to treat high blood pressure and heart disease were a major cause of reduced sexual activity.
If you've already developed a chronic illness like diabetes or high blood pressure, work with your doctor to ensure it is managed and controlled.
Research by Adelaide Professor Gary Wittert showed weight loss improved the sex lives of diabetic men.
Life style choices can still play a big role in optimising your health, and ensuring your medication does not have negative side effects as far as your sex life is concerned is something to discuss with your doctor. There are alternatives available.
Stress and Psychological Factors in Impotence
Stress, depression, and performance anxiety can all lead to impotence, by draining sex drive and lowering testosterone levels.
And anti-depressants are another class of medications likely to cause low sex drive and impotence.
Top Five Steps to Prevent Impotence
1) Exercise Regularly & Maintain Weight
There is consensus amongst researchers that obesity leads to impotence, and exercise improves all areas of health. (One study showed Olympic athletes lived three years longer than average, a result Melbourne University professor of health economics moderate weight loss.
2) Stop Smoking & Limit Alcohol and Drug Use
An Australian study showed men who smoked were much more likely to experience impotence. Moderate alcohol use (1 – 4 drinks) actually improves sexual performance according to another Australian study, but heavy use of alcohol and drugs raises the risk of impotence.
3) Check your Medication
Over 200 common over the counter medications can cause impotence, in addition to the prescription drugs from your doctor. The most common medications to cause sexual impotence are:
- beta blockers for heart disease and high blood pressure
- NSAID's (non-steroidal anti-inflammatories) pain killers for joint and muscle pain like Ibuprofen
- SSRI class anti-depressants and anxiety meds (Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors)
- and hay fever and sinus relief treatments
Don't just give up your medication. Talk it over with your doctor and find a more compatible alternative.
4) Control Stress and Consider Counselling
Psychological stress from too much work, relationship issues and other personal trauma not only drains energy and confidence but also lowers hormone levels, particularly testosterone. Take whatever steps you need to get on top of stress. Take time out regularly, and if required talk to a professional counsellor or get couples counselling. Men's Line Australia offers telephone counselling or find a counsellor in your locality through Relationships Australia.
5) Manage Medical Conditions
Don't give up if you have a health condition which is causing impotence. There are many forms of treatment available for different situations. Work with your general practitioner to manage your health or consult sexual health specialists like the professionals at Impotence Australia.

The Death of Mercury
The Beginning of the End
The rivalry over Mercury became increasingly controversial as the years progressed. It not only increased tensions between Colgate classes but also with the Hamilton community at large. Harry Emerson Fosdick, one of the founders of the tradition, regrets starting the competition, saying, "According to one estimate, the twenty-year-long custom cost the students more than $10,000 for chartered trains, buses, and handcars, for class banquets and damages, and that more seriously yet, it cost more than one student his bachelor's degree."1
1 "Mercury- A Tradition of the Past." Colgate Alumni News, December 1929: 13-14. Special Collections and University Archives, Colgate University Libraries
The Decapitation of the God
In November 1919, the faculty at Colgate decided to abolish officially the Mercury tradition because it had become dangerous for the students' welfare. Because of the increased competition between the classes, a student lost his life attempting to swim back from a small island to which he had been kidnapped along with the rest of his class. This devastating event began the pushback against the Mercury tradition and others like it which had become dangerously violent. The faculty beheaded the statue of Mercury and thus killed the tradition. Although the head rose from the dead a few times throughout the years from 1919 to 1949, Mercury never regained the same notoriety nor was he embraced by the campus.
"A little old piece of lead known as 'Mercury' probably did more to build class unity than any other agency ever in effect at Colgate. . . One after another of the old class customs have been done away with for one reason or another. In most cases protection to property and life itself has made the abandonment necessary."2

Loughmore-Castleiney 3-22 Mullinahone 0-14
Holders Loughmore-Castleiney were never troubled as they saw off Mullinahone by 17 points in the Tipperary SHC semi-final at Semple Stadium yesterday.
They were in control from the start, John McGrath's goal after nine minutes easing them 1-4 to 0-0 clear.
Even with the aid of the breeze, Mullinahone struggled to get into the game. Points from Eoin Kelly (3) and Jack Shelley (2) got them moving, but by half-time, Loughmore were 1-12 to 0-7 ahead, thanks to fine finishing by John and Noel McGrath and Evan Sweeney.
It was going to take a big effort from Mullinahone to turn the game around in the second-half but Evan Sweeney's goal for Loughmore after 36 minutes put paid to any outside chance the South champions had of causing an upset.
Mullinahone battled to the finish but Liam Treacy's goal for Loughmore five minutes from time was the final nail in the Mullinahone coffin.
Loughmore fans in the 4,187 attendance had much to be pleased about as their side played with pace and fluency t and they will now be favourites to retain their title in next week's final against arch rivals Thurles Sarsfields.
All of their forwards got on the scoresheet with the efforts of Evan Sweeney, Liam Treacy, John McGrath and Noel McGrath particularly notweworthy. Further back, Aidan McGrath and Tom King were prominent.
Eoin Kelly and Paul Curran did their best to inspire their Mullinahone colleagues but the south champions failed to produce their best form. Alan Curran, Eoin Fennelly and Jack Shelley were others to work hard for them.
Loughmore-Castleiney scorers: L Treacy and E Sweeney,(1-3 each); J McGrath(1-2); L McGrath, N McGrath, A McGrath, and C Hennessy(0-3 each); T McGrath(0-2).
Mullinahone scorers: E Kelly 0-6; C Horan(0-3), J Shelley(0-2), E Fennelly, D Cody, K Bolger (0-1 each).
LOUGHMORE-CASTLEINEY: S Nolan; L Egan, D Bourke, J Hennessy; A McGrath, D Kennedy, T King; C McGrath, T McGrath; J McGrath, L Treacy, N McGrath; L McGrath, E Sweeney, C Hennessy.
Subs: J Ryan for J McGrath; J Nyland for Kennedy; D Brennan for Bourke; T Maher for King; E Connolly for L McGrath;

As the animal clinic Rio Rancho pets visit for their veterinary needs, Coronado Pet Hospital understands that pet parents want to be confident that they have a suitable animal hospital where their pets can receive treatment. We've identified five qualities that pet owners want to observe in their animal clinics.
5 Qualities You Really Need in an Animal Clinic
1. Compassion for Animals
Those who care for your pets should have a love for animals and a passion for preserving their well being. Great veterinarian offices will have a staff that shares a special kinship with the animals they care for and treat each pet with the gentle love and respect they deserve.
2. Clean and Orderly Facilities
A veterinary office should be clean, neat and orderly. This also means that all members of the veterinary staff should practice proper hygiene routines when working with the animals. It should also be a safe area for all pets and people that may visit.
3. Readiness for Emergency Treatment
Emergencies can happen at any time which is why it's important that your animal hospital is equipped to handle these issues at any moment. A reliable animal clinic will be prepared to meet the emergency needs of your pet so that they can restore their well being.
4. Understanding and Patience
Communication is key to every successful relationship, including the one between you and your veterinarian. Your animal clinic should want you to be educated and knowledgeable about your pet's health issues and treatment plan. They'll take the time to hear your concerns, answer your questions and make sure you feel comfortable with their veterinary advice.
5. Trustworthiness
Your pet is a member of your family. You should be able to trust that your veterinarian has your pet's best interest always at heart and that they will go the extra mile to help your animal live their healthiest life possible.

In an effort to streamline costs, US technology distributor Merisel has reported it is cutting 700 jobs in the US and Canada and closing four warehouses.
In a statement issued Thursday, it said the actions are needed "to bring operating expenses in line with projected revenues" in order for the company to once again become profitable.
For the six month period ended June 30, Merisel reported a net loss of $US30.35 million, or 38 cents per share. For the same period last year, the company reported a net loss of $23.5 million, or 29 cents per share, the company said in a statement last week.
The company said it would cut 200 employees in Canada and about 500 in the US, where the company suffered its greatest losses. David Sadler, the company's CEO, said it would also shut down four US warehouses, keeping open its three largest warehouses in Illinois, California and Virginia.
More cuts are expected to follow in the U.S.
"We will be taking additional actions in the U.S. as we continue the restructuring," Sadler said.
"We are a primary competitor in Canada, and we have a significant opportunity to win additional market share and grow the business," said Mitchell Martin, the newly appointed president of Merisel Canada.
The company said it would continue to evaluate "strategic options with regard to each of its businesses."
Jeff VanSinderen, an analyst at B. Riley & Co. said Merisel's financial troubles stem from the fact that it's in a "tough business."
"The company's been facing challenges for some time. They're struggling," he said. "This is a tough business with thin margins. I'm not sure some [other company] in this business could do better."


text:
"If not now, then when?" One of the worst human conditions is to feel as though you have no options and are trapped in circumstances that don't work for your well-being. It is easy to believe we are trapped when really multitudes of options exist. It is out of the box thinking that sets us free and helps us maintain optimism. Just the mere act of allowing yourself options creates better emotional health. At the end of next year I will be an empty nester. As a divorced, single woman the thought of being alone in my home saddens me. But, ah! Playing with options….I could rent my home out and move to a small seaside apartment in Portugal or go teach a course at the University in New Zealand. I probably won't do either of these but just giving myself permission to play with options pleases my soul and eases my mind.
If not now, then when?

One Man's Long View of Nature
By Richard Fortey
Illustrated. 304 pp. Alfred A. Knopf. $28.95.
Some of the minor ways in which American English differs from British English point to different approaches to looking at the world, and the word "wood" is a case in point. In American, it is a substance; in British English, it is also a place. Americans do not generally refer to a wood; they say the woods, where bears proverbially relieve themselves, or woodlands, or sometimes a woodlot, but a discrete parcel of the primary forest that once covered the land scarcely excites the American imagination.
Britain is different, because its countryside is much smaller-scale and more intimate, with vast forests the exception, and a block of trees no more extensive than a soccer pitch can be cherished, especially if threatened. Indeed, individual British woods are instinctively regarded with affection, and in recent years the idea of owning one's own small wood has, in Britain, grown in popularity. Richard Mabey, doyen of English nature writers, has written lyrically of the beech wood he owned in the Chiltern Hills to the northwest of London (pleasingly referring to himself merely as its "custodian," as opposed to its proprietor).
Now here comes another writer about the natural world, with his own Chiltern beech wood, and his own book about it. Richard Fortey is a paleontologist, formerly in residence at London's Natural History Museum, who is also an acclaimed popularizer of science, a man with talent as a storyteller; and with his earnings from a TV nature series, he bought Grim's Dyke Wood, four acres of beeches and bluebells a mile away from his hometown, Henley-on-Thames, and decided to compile its biography. You can do that with a named wood; it is finite, it has boundaries, it is a self-contained world.
Fortey realized that the account of his wood needed to be conducted on two levels, the human as well as the scientific, because the English countryside has been shaped for millenniums by people. The results, presented in "The Wood for the Trees," are fascinating: a vivid history of the nearby manor house, Greys Court, and its noble families who owned the wood for hundreds of years, and of the woodsmen who turned the harvested timber into everything from kindling to chair legs; but even more striking, an immensely detailed portrait of the flora and fauna contained in these four acres, which seem to expand exponentially the closer one looks.
It's not just the deer, and the woodpeckers, and the bluebells: It's the six species of bats, more than 30 species of spiders, the 150 species of moths, the 300 species of fungi, the mites, the centipedes, the pseudoscorpions, the myriad things so tiny they have no English names. Fortey creates with them an astounding portrait of multilayered life in one relatively restricted space, reviving the great tradition of natural history, so cast into the shade in recent years by molecular biology and genetic studies.
If it has a fault, it is that this is a book that does not really catch at the heart. Toward the end, Fortey proclaims his contempt for the emotional aspects of modern nature writing; he is inflexibly empiricist. He stands or falls by his scientific expertise, which is indeed magisterial. Although it is not quite infallible. He refers, for example, to his wood's hairy snail as Trochilus hirsutus; he should have said Trochulus hispidus (the former name refers to a South American hummingbird). Elsewhere he misquotes the name of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew — he writes "Botanical," a lapse that may seem perfectly trivial, but which would be regarded in Kew itself as most unfortunate. Yet these are trifling blemishes in an account of one small place that conveys unforgettably the staggering variety and abundance of the whole natural world.

Pirmella Side Effects
Bloating, nausea, and breast tenderness are among the commonly reported side effects of birth control pills, including Pirmella. In most cases, side effects are minor and easy to treat. However, serious reactions can also occur. If you develop a migraine, depression, or other serious reactions, contact your healthcare provider right away.
As with any medicine, Pirmella™ (norethindrone and ethinyl estradiol) can cause side effects. However, not all women who use this birth control pill will experience side effects. In fact, most women tolerate it quite well. If side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or are easily treated by you or your healthcare provider. Often, many of the bothersome Pirmella side effects improve (or even completely go away) within the first few cycles of use.
Some side effects with Pirmella, while occurring infrequently, are potentially serious and should be reported to your healthcare provider right away. These include but are not limited to:
- Signs of a blood clot in the leg, such as:
- Leg cramps
- Pain in the calf
- Leg or foot swelling
- Signs of a stroke, such as:
- Weakness or numbness in an arm or leg
- Vision or speech changes
- Severe headache
- Sudden loss of vision or vision changes, which can be a sign of a blood clot in the eye
- Signs of a blood clot in the lung, such as:
- Shortness of breath
- Sharp chest pain
- Coughing up blood
- Chest pain or heaviness, which may be signs of a heart attack
- Signs of liver damage, such as:
- Yellowing of the whites of the eyes or skin (jaundice)
- Dark urine
- Upper-right abdominal (stomach) pain
- Depression or other emotional changes
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
- High cholesterol
- Migraines (or changes in your migraines, if you have had them before)
- Breast lumps
- Heavy vaginal bleeding between periods (although light bleeding or spotting is normal)
- Signs of an allergic reaction, such as:
- An unexplained rash
- Hives
- Itching
- Unexplained swelling
- Wheezing
- Difficulty breathing or swallowing.
These serious side effects are not unique to Pirmella but can occur with most birth control pills.

Manchester United Vs Arsenal | Preview
Robin van Persie starts for Manchester United, despite rumours he'd been left out. Both Per Mertesacker and Tomas Rosicky (illness) miss out for Arsenal, who recall Mathieu Flamini.
MANCHESTER UNITED: De Gea, Smalling, Vidic, Evans, Evra, Valencia, Jones, Carrick, Kagawa, Rooney, Van Persie.
ARSENAL: Szczesny, Sagna, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Arteta, Flamini, Ramsey, Ozil, Cazorla, Giroud.
Arsenal come into the tie after an incredible week which saw them dismantle Liverpool at The Emirates, followed by a heroic display in Borrusia Dortmund, where their defensive unit really came of age. Laurent Koscielny & Per Mertesacker are now a fixture at the heart of the Arsenal defence, producing one of their most eye-catching defensive displays on to date on Wednesday night, a partnership that is continuing to blossom game by game.
David Moyes has endured a difficult start to life in Manchester, a string of poor performances have led to his credentials coming increasingly under scrutiny. Their home form has even taken a hit; most notably only picking up only a solitary point at home Southampton & West Brom, leaving very few positives to take. Many are still questioning if David Moyes truly knows his best XI, in particular the back four which is looking uncharacteristically leaky. Ashley Young has come under further scrutiny this week after another theatrical fall in San Sebastian, in an overall display again failing to turn heads. Wilfred Zaha continues to play a bit part role at Manchester United, is it time for him to be given his opportunity?
As ever, the battles in the centre of midfield will be vital in determining who takes a real foothold in this tie on Sunday. Arsenal have been starting with a partnership of Aaron Ramsey and Mikel Arteta in recent ties, arguably one of the most inform partnerships around Europe. Such is their form that Arsenal's golden boy Jack Wilshere can only warrant a place on the substitute bench. Ramsey and Arteta combine a real desire and energy with an impressive technical guile which has made it impossible for Arsene Wenger to look beyond the two.
Manchester United on the contrary have struggled in the central areas, with Michael Carrick seeming to be the only settled figure. Marouane Fellaini is yet to impress in the deeper areas of their midfield, more often than not looking sloppy in possession and undisciplined defensively. There have been calls for Moyes to ploy the Belguim further up field, an area where he often wreaked havoc whilst under the Scotsman at Everton. To add too United's midfield headaches, they're defence is becoming increasingly unsettled, with a number of combinations being tested throughout the season.
If Manchester United are to defend their Premier League title, they will surely have to inflict defeat on the North Londoners on Sunday. This could act as a pedestal to work from, to begin to re-establish Old Trafford as the feared fortress is once was. This is the first time Arsenal have faced one of the 'big three' in the league this term (Manchester United, Manchester City & Chelsea), to win at Old Trafford will do a lot to dispel the doubt surrounding their title credentials. Following a week which saw Arsenal lay down a marker at The Emirates against Liverpool, before leaving the Westfalenstadion after shocking German powerhouses Borussia Dortmund, they'll be travelling to Manchester as confident as ever.
On current form you'd fancy Arsenal to break their hoodoo in Manchester having won 14 of their last 15 away games, but we have to bear in mind they've lost on 7 of their last 8 visits to Old Trafford.
Manchester United 13/10
Arsenal 11/5
Just over two years have passed since Manchester United inflicted total humiliation on Arsenal with a brutal 8-2 victory at Old Trafford, but The Gunners are a far cry from that disjointed side these days. You'll have to recall back at least seven years to find the last time Arsenal went to Manchester as the genuine favourites around football, albeit not with the bookmakers, who tend not to favour away sides!

some time ago we were lucky enough to be given a rather wonderful bath which we installed in the decidedly decrepit bathroom in our house. the accompanying cosmetic works involved a bit of a rethink on storage in the bathroom, so i fashioned some shelves from the wood gleaned from my son's old loft bed so that we had somewhere to put towels and bottles of bath stuff.
for some time the new shelves were sufficient for our bathroom clutter. but that was before the Ageing Rockstar has his lung surgery. the Ageing Rockstar has a rather bothersome lung condition which required surgery just over a year ago. I will gloss over the medical particulars save to say that half of one of his lungs was removed which bizarrely makes breathing easier for him.
Eventually the Ageing Rockstar was allowed home, but still had a couple of pipes coming out of his side, draining into bags. When a person has holes in them they cannot let them get underwater so shallow baths were the order of the day. because the Ageing Rockstar was still rather dazed, he planned for baths into the next century and purchased a great many large bottles of Imperial Leather Bath Cream. After a couple of weeks he was able to shower and therefore stopped having baths and purchased a similar quantity of Imperial Leather Shower Cream.
The upshot of all this was that the shelves in the bathroom could no longer cope. I collected up a number of bottles of Imperial Leather Bath Cream with a view to donating them to a worthy cause. the Ageing Rockstar came across the bag.
"What are you doing with all my bubble bath?!" He cried.
"I'm going to donate it to this charity that is collecting toiletries for homeless people," I explained.
"But homeless people don't have bathrooms! How on earth are they going to have baths?!"
"No, but the charity provides places for them to have showers and baths and get clean clothes and stuff," I explained.
"I don't declutter all your stuff! I'm always looking for things and you've moved them or given them away!" wailed the Ageing Rockstar, "I might want a bath and there won't be any bubble bath left!"
No amount of reasoning was going to placate him so the by now rather dusty bottles of Imperial Leather Bath Cream were duly returned to the bathroom and I purchased a container for them to live in.
Needless to say, the Ageing Rockstar has not had a single bath since…

Amodern, 7: Ephemera and Ephemerality (2017)
Filed under journal | Tags: · archive, ephemera, ink, media, paper, social media, text, theatre
"Like some winged insects, ephemera – the plural of the Greek ephemeron – denotes things that last through the day. Maurice Rickards defined it as "the minor transient documents of everyday life" – bus tickets, business cards, bookmarks. Ephemera describes modern mass media forms such as the newspaper and radio broadcasts, as well as contemporary ones such as email and short message service. Ephemera haunts classical aesthetics, whose pretensions to cultural value and endurance can figuratively efface its own materiality and fragility. Ephemera similarly menaces concepts and practices of history, even when it serves as evidence of the past and the stuff of the archive. Indeed, ephemera problematizes memory itself: Wendy Hui Kyong Chun has theorized that digital media create an "enduring ephemeral" of constantly refreshing, regenerating information, introducing as much instability into computer programs as abides in putatively more fallible, degenerative human memory. With this observation, the paradox of ephemera – that it was meant to be disposable and fleeting, but is instead often kept and collected – comes into view as a central ambivalence of modern mediated life."

Cleaning Up A Desktop Computer
When you use your computer day by day, it becomes slower than it was and may occur some errors. This is mainly caused by the dust which is stuck on the cooling fans and other hardware parts. So you should have to clean this by yourself or take the pc to a specialist on this. But when this is an easy task, why wasting money on cleaners, just do it yourself. Here the technoob is gonna guide you on how to clean your computer step by step.
Things you need,
01. A clean piece of cloth
02. Isopropyl, alcohol or cologne
03. Some cotton buds
04. A blower(if you can find one)
05. A piece of eraser
06. A brush
First, we need to remove the power supply and unplug all the cables from the computer. Make sure to remove the UPS(Uninterruptible Power Supply) supply also. Take the CPU and remove the side cover of it using a screw driver. Keep it aside and look into the CPU. You'll understand why your computer ran slow. Remove all the cables coming from power supply to the mother board, VGA, DVD Rom and Hard disk.
Cleaning the fans.
Take the brush and clean the fans on the casing. You can use a small brush to clean the edges. to clean the fans connected to mother board take the piece of cloth and apply some alcohol on it and gently clean the fans. Use the cotton buds with some alocohol to clean the small parts. To clean the fans of the vga repeat the same thing. Never use too much of alcohol or any liquid and don't apply excessive pressure on fans while cleaning them as it may cause errors after connecting the power supply.
Cleaning the hard disk
Remove the screws of the casing and take the hard disk out. Take the cloth and gently clean it. Use the brush to clean the circuit and ports. Don't apply any other liquid on it and keep the hard disk aside.
Cleaning the RAM cards.
Press the RAM slot keys and take the RAM cards out. Use the brush and remove the dust and take the piece of the eraser and rub the connecting pins gently. Don't pressure it too much, else the pins will get damaged. If you feel like you'll damage the pins better to use the cloth to clean the pins also.
Cleaning the VGA
We can't clean the VGA card as if we remove the screws as it may cause heat controlling errors if we could'nt set it up back properly. So it's better to clean only the fans and pins. Use the brush and cloth to do so.
Cleaning the heat sinks.
Cleaning the heat sink is the hardest part. You can use the brush to remove the dust from the heat sink but to do that properly you need a blower. If you can afford a blower for this use it to clean up all the other parts also. It is very easy to remove dust using blower rather than cleaning all the parts using a brush.
Use the brush to clean the mother board and set all the parts back properly. Check twice whether all the parts are connected well or not. Connect the cables from the power supply(PSU) and close the casing using the side cover.
Cleaning the monitor.
Apply some alcohol on the monitor and clean gently using the piece of cloth. Use the blower and clean the inside through the holes on the back side of the monitor.
Cleaning the keyboard and mouse
Use the blower or the brush to clean the keyboard. To clean the mouse take a cotton bud and clean the laser part of the mouse.
Cleaning a Laptop.
Cleaning a laptop is a hard task. All we can do is cleaning the casing of the Laptop using a piece of cloth. We can clean the keyboard using the blower. Remove the battery and clean the pins using the brush.
Keep the computer at least an hour to make sure it is dry and connect all the cables and turn it on. Enjoy the fully refreshed computer.

Its timber blind facade helps make this Sydney office warm and approachable
Photography by Brent Boardman and Katherine Lu
Want to know more?Contact us
A Closed Cavity Facade and interiors that reflect the developer's advanced engineering prowess make the EY Centre a leading example for the future of Sydney office development
Promotion by great example is a phrase that comes to mind when looking at the development, star location, building design, tenant fit-out and green credentials for the EY Centre – a recent stand-out addition to the Sydney city skyline.
Jointly owned by Mirvac Property Trust and AMP Capital Wholesale Office Fund, the EY Centre at 200 George Street was developed and built by Mirvac's in-house development and construction divisions.
Senior development manager at Mirvac David Chan says the high-profile location was a key factor in the premium tower's development. In particular it provided the ideal address for Mirvac's own head office running over six floors two-thirds of the way up the 37-storey building.
"With sitelines to the harbour and bridge and the ability to activate the ground level and surrounding laneways with diverse F&B outlets, public art and leisure spaces, 200 George Street presented the ideal address for a city developer," says Chan.
Architecture firm FJMT was awarded the design for the building, in part for its strong design concept for a warm, approachable building – a more human-friendly high-rise than the rectilinear buildings around it. The curvaceous nature of its interconnected towers and a facade animated by closed-cavity wood-blind elements are leading character features.
FJMT design director Richard Francis-Jones says the primary form of the building is created through the interlocking of four elements.
"There's a folded stone ground-plane, which defines the public spaces; a human scaled street-defining form to George Street; an expressed side core accommodating lifts, stairs and amenities, clad in sandstone and terracotta panels; and the two intersecting workplace tower volumes orientating north and west to the harbour and bridge.
"This building embraces natural materials, in particular wood and stone, materials of quality and character – it appears in the city as a tower made of timber rising out of the greyness of its neighbours.
"In essence, it's a building made of traditional materials that we've already been building with for thousands of years but are here utilising advanced technology systems," says Francis-Jones.
The facade on the EY Centre is comprised of multiple layers – an outer layer of a single sheet of low iron clear glass, behind which are the automated natural timber louvres set within a sealed, pressured cavity that is clean and dust free. Finally the inner layer is a double glazed high performance insulating unit.
"The result is a facade that outperforms any of the grey glass buildings and looks nothing like them. It is clear and transparent, and the natural colour of the wood glows in the sun."
The automated blinds also create a sense of animation – as blinds are drawn up or down controlled by the building management system to optimise solar control. As a result, the look of the facade changes day to day, or even hour to hour.
And if the ergonomic design and natural-look facade set the building apart from the outside, the interior architecture – including Mirvac's own head office fit-out – sets it apart on the inside.
"The building has been designed to create flexible workspace horizontally and vertically," says Francis-Jones. "This is achieved through the incorporation of a floor system that accommodates future atrium voids and interconnecting stairways."
The EY Centre is also one of the first of a new breed of 'smart buildings' in Australia and this is where promotion by example comes in. Mirvac's own headquarters respond in real time to the workplace environment and employee needs. For example, technology monitors power and water usage, and the quality of the air, enabling adjustment according to the changing needs of the building and its occupants. The data is used to manage the headquarters, as well as inform how Mirvac engineers can help the company's clients build workspaces in the future.
The fit-out for Mirvac's own workplace was by Davenport Campbell, led by co-principal Neill Johanson.
"To help test Mirvac's new way of working, a fully operational pilot site called the Living Lab was built next to Mirvac's existing workplace. It was then possible for our team to fine tune the HQ project based on feedback from the pilot," says Johanson.
Mirvac's old offices had been over six floors with only one stair, but the progressive company wanted quite a different approach here. So, involved in the project from the time of the building's construction, Davenport Campbell was able to customise the base build and have inter-floor stairwells expanded and given an individualistic, curvaceous form, with no straight lines employed.
"The sculptural voids were vital to communicate connection, community and innovation – core values for Mirvac," Johanson says. "From the moment you enter the HQ on the social and meeting-oriented Town Hall floor you are immediately in touch with who Mirvac is and what it does."
In addition the floors were raised on the fit-out to allow easy relocation and connection of services.
"Helping Mirvac create a unique customer experience was quite a challenge. The Town Hall had to support Ted Talks, share price announcements, product launches and social events, so we raised the floors to provide the greatest amount of flexibility for these curated experiences.
"In an environment focussed on enabling people to choose how and where they work, developing an effective location strategy became critical to the success of the project. Mirvac invented an App and dashboard that did just that – help employees find a spare desk or locate a colleague via their phone."
This contemporary facility is known as Jelly Bean working, referring to the little green light showing on or off on social media sites.
Complementing the Town Hall with its meeting spaces and reconfigurable forms, the open-plan office spaces are divided up into neighbourhoods connected by Main Streets. The only personal space allocated to workers is their lockers and storage, which are positioned on these streets.
"The fit-out keeps Mirvac's prowess in advanced engineering to the fore, with cutouts in the floors and ceiling revealing the building's state-of-the-art services. In addition, the temperature inside and out the sealed blind cavities can be displayed on a smart phone, as can a purpose-specific meter measuring even the slightest structural movements in the building – another example of engineering savvy on display."
These precision building performance measurements plus pro-active health initiatives, such as healthy air, optimum natural light and the provision of 257 bicycle spaces plus 50 more for visitors has added up to the EY Centre and Mirvac's own fit-out attracting a plethora of green awards. These include a base building targeting a 5 NABERS energy rating, and a 6 Star Green Star As-Built rating for the building. Mirvac has also been one of the first offices to achieve the Gold WELL rating, which takes a holistic approach to health in the built environment – looking in particular at behaviour, operations and design.

We had our i
naugural attendance at the local festival on Saturday. It was an early start and we were a bit amateurish at it, but we went armed with stickers, free signing bookmarks and treats to give away. The weather was better than expected as it was forecast to rain earlier in the week but all we got were strong gusts of wind once in a while. There was generally a good turn out at the festival. We were directly across from the face painters and the circus workshop, and the patting paddock was close by. So we couldn't have asked for a better position for the stall.
Beebo, the baby signs bear, greeted a lot of delighted children at the festival. He also helped to give out treats to families who enquired about the classes. We were glad to be able to meet other parents who were very enthusiastic and passionate about using signs to communicate with their babies because of their own positive experiences. A couple of families signed up for the Sign, Say and Play classes. It is looking like a class will definitely go ahead in March next year, so watch this space.
The next promotional outing will be the Tuggeranong Festival on 1 December :). Hopefully we can drum up more interests for the classes then.
