This article:
has an interesting take on Osborne Computer's fall, basically that it wasn't a pre-announcement (the product shipped about a week after its formal announcement) that killed Osborne, but rather
(1) Basic cash flow issues. Osborne was undercapitalized at the start (VC's wanted to put in the absolute minimum capital necessary before Osborne went public) and never generated sufficient cash flow during it's rapid growth to create the cushion necessary to handle product (and the resulting financial) problems;
(2) Leaks from PR efforts that started 4 months prior to the product shipping (by embargoed journalists who had early looks at the product) which reached distributors who then stopped ordering the existing product;
(3) The replace-the-Founder-with-the-experienced-big-company-manager (who doesn't understand the fundamentals of the business) issue;
(4) Intense competition in a fast-growing market with not one, but two major market shifts: from luggables to laptops, and from CPM to DOS.
It points to cash flow as the key metric for entrepreneurs to gauge the health of their business and business model, something that's easy to forget in startups that receive 10's of millions in funding (and especially in software startups that have low burn rates). Bootstrapper's don't have this problem: if they aren't generating cash to build the business, they aren't building the business. On the other hand, given the the rapid market growth, the resulting competition that Osborne faced, and multiple market inflection points, it's hard to see how a purely bootstrapped startup could have made it in this market.

Tender smoked brisket smothered in a Guinness barbecue sauce on yeast roll slider buns.
I have to say that Guinness makes everything better. I love barbecue and Guinness Barbecue Sauce is my new favorite. Barbecue sauce is pretty easy to make with just a few simple ingredients. All you need is ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and whatever spices you like. Check out my Classic Barbecue Sauce for a simple basic recipe.
Guinness makes everything better [Tweet This]
Since St. Patrick's Day is coming up (and we had a case of Guinness) I thought it would be fun to make a Guinness barbecue sauce. I have to give some credit to my husband for this idea because he had the idea of using Guinness on the brisket and I just copied his idea for a barbecue sauce. This brisket is Guinness Smoked Brisket, which I'll post the recipe for next time. But the barbecue sauce will taste great on anything. I even used it on turkey breast sandwiches when we ran out of brisket and it was great.
For the slider buns I just used a simple Whole Wheat Yeast Roll recipe. I'll post this exact recipe eventually (I need to get pictures of just the rolls, but I eat them too quickly), but it's very similar to Rye Yeast Rolls just using whole wheat flour. The soft yeast rolls with the Guinness Barbecue Sauce and Guinness Brisket made an unbelievably delicious slider. The Guinness adds so much flavor depth to a very simple classic barbecue sauce. I will be making this sauce again next time we have barbecue (no matter what kind of meat we use). It's so good.
Guinness adds so much flavor depth to a simple barbecue sauce [Tweet this]
Guinness Barbecue Brisket Sliders
Guinness Barbecue Sauce
2 tsp butter
1 shallot, minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp red pepper flakes (more or less depending on your tastes)
1 14.9 oz Guinness
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper to taste
Slider buns or yeast rolls
Brisket (I used Guinness Smoked Brisket)
Onion, sliced
Melt the butter in a large sauce pan over medium-high heat. Saute the shallot and garlic until tender and fragrant.
Add the pepper flakes and mix well. Then pour in the Guinness. Allow the Guinness to boil until it reduces by half.
Add the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce and reduce heat to a simmer.
Simmer until sauce is the thickness you desire and remove from heat.
Add sliced brisket to the sauce (my brisket was cold out of the fridge so I let it simmer a while in the sauce to reheat), mixing until well coated.
Split the yeast rolls or buns in half and add a couple of slices of barbecue covered brisket. Top the brisket with onions and a drizzle of more sauce.
Serve immediately with sides of your choice (I served it with Parmesan and Garlic Roasted Broccoli and Cauliflower).
About 4-6 servings of the sauce.

Although this craft dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), specialist cabinet makers did not appear until during the Muromachi period (1392-1573), when this form of joinery developed in step with the ceremonial drinking of tea. Beside a range of the finest traditional household furniture made in solid wood, many pieces of turnery, bentwood work and items made from boards are also fashioned from such woods as paulownia (Paulownia tomentosa), Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica), mulberry (Morus) and zelkova (Zelkova serrata).
Perhaps the most representative of the woods used is paulownia. Being both moisture and heat resistant, products made of this wood represent the very best in household storage. Great care is taken with its preparation by ensuring that it is well seasoned and that any impurities are removed before the wood is worked. Apart from the many items which are made for use in association with the tea ceremony, some very finely crafted chest-of-drawers and wardrobes are also made. Freestanding shelves are also produced, sometimes for the display of fine china. In all, there are now 17 firms employing 80 people, 10 of whom are government recognized Master Craftsmen, all dedicated to sustaining this craft.

When assessing and treating a patients lips there are several subtle changes that can rejuvenate the mouth area without making the lips look "done". Although some patients want much fuller lips, a lot of us prefer subtle changes.
As we age our upper lip changes in several ways. We tend to lose the definition along the vermillion border, the philtral ridge/columns (the vertical columns that start at the tip of the cupids bow and end below the nose) flatten and the space between the upper lip and nose elongates. Subtle changes can be created with easy injection techniques, including defining the vermillion border, restoring the philtral columns and accentuating the cupids bow. Restoring the philtral columns frequently make the lip lift slightly. Filling these columns can return the contours that were likely once there. Vertical lip lines can be softened as well. Small amounts of filler can be placed within the lip itself to restore lost volume. There are many fillers to choose from these days, giving the patient and provider options, depending on the treatment plan. Fillers vary in their hyaluronic acid %, viscosity, elasticity and cohesiveness.
When assessing and treating the lower lip there are several changes that can have a nice impact, other than just looking fuller. Again, the vermillion border can be defined and fine lines can be corrected. The oral commissures, which tend to turn down as we age, can be turned back up with filler placement techniques. Volume restoration can be completed to obtain the desired effect.
The ideal balance of upper lip to lower lip is 1/2 to 2/3's. This does vary individually and you and your provider can decide the best proportions for you.
In addition to fillers, small doses of Botox® or Dysport® can be utilized to relax muscles in this region of the face. If a person tends to purse their lips Botox® or Dysport® can be used in the muscle surrounding the mouth (the orbicularis oris) to minimize the pursing. This injection technique also tends to roll the upper lip up and out slightly, making it appear slightly fuller. Additionally, for a gummy smile, an injection a little higher (closer to the nose) in the upper lip can relax the muscle that lifts the lip up. This injection prevents as much gum tissue from being exposed with animation.
Another placement of Botox® or Dysport® that can help in the lower face and lip area is treating the depressor anguli oris ,(DAO) which, in some individuals, pulls down the sides of the mouth. Very small doses are utilized in these muscles to help minimize the appearance of frowning.
As with all facial injections, make sure your provider has a thorough understanding of facial anatomy. Ask if there is an "emergency kit" for injectables in the clinic. (a kit containing an enzyme to dissolve filler, should it be required)
Do not worry that having injectables in the mouth area will leave you with unnaturally big lips. (which we have all seen) If you and your provider are on the same page, you can obtain a natural restoration of the volume and definition you once had.

WE TOTALLY AGREE! One of the worst things a business can do is bad mouth a competitor or gossip about their practices. It can make you, as a business person, seem shallow. Even when dogs with bad hair do's come in and the owner complains about their experience with this other groomer, we try to stay neutral, not join in on any "bashing", and just fix the cut. Good job on you for doing the same!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you,Delete
As groomers we all need to work together. Maybe if we did, we would not have groomers that don't give the right clips. We could teach each other.
Lisa, MFF
I think the puppy looks fantastic! We see lots of owners that want their dogs long, but don't bother to brush them at all. We hate telling people their dog has to be shaved, but we have to put the well-being of the dog first. Just yesterday I had someone blaming us for their dog being matted when they only come in every 4 months or so!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Michele,Delete
Amazing how it always OUR fault that the dog is matted when they (the pet owner) are the ones who live with the dog everyday.
Lisa, MFF

Hi Lisa,ReplyDelete
I've never groomed one of these before... what else did you do with the pup trimming-wise?
Thanks x
p.s. it looked VERY cute with the top knotsReplies
This puppy just got a sanitary trim (clipped the belly, scissored around the rectum) and a light trim on the feet. The owner did not want the corner of the eye cut.
Lisa, MFF
I so agree! I got this same comment just the other day. I guess I understand though, that people get paranoid when things like taking your Corgi in and it coming out SHAVED happens. So sad.ReplyDelete

Looks like a gorgeous well-bred puppy- shame that the breeder is out bad mouthing. I'm fortunate to be networked to most of the nearby breeders on CdTs (they're my specialty), so we have a system. :)ReplyDelete
Just thought of this question while reading this post, since you're talking about educating people about the care of certain breeds... Can you tell me about how long it takes you per day to comb out your Standard Poodles when they're in a longer versus a shorter trim? I have seen talk about how often people comb/brush but not how long they spend on it per day with each dog or how long their dogs are kept. I've been looking through my poodle grooming book too and can't find any ballpark figures for how long it would take. I'm expecting the out of print Del Dahl poodle book in the mail any day now, I suppose that may tell but I thought I'd ask you since you live with three with different coat types. I'd also be curious what coat types you feel are easier and which are more difficult. I really like the thick harsh curly coat that the standard calls for. I just love how it feels. Also I've read that blacks and silvers tend to have the best coats, have you found this to be true in dogs you've groomed? Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Tristyn42,Delete
I have three Standard Poodles. One white, one black, and one red. My red Standard has the worst coat of the three. It is a soft, a little cottony, curly coat that mats extremely easily even when only an inch and a half long.
My white Standard also has a softer coat, but it has a little harsher of a texture that makes it much nicer. It does not mat easily and if she does get a few mats (from me missing a few days of brushing) the mats brush out very easily and quickly.
My black Standard has a wonderful coat. Her coat is thick, curly, and has a harsh texture. She brushes out very easily and quickly. (although she seems to get dirty faster than the other two) I can actually go an entire week without brushing her and she will not mat up. I keep them 2 to 3 inches long in the winter and their backs about and inch long in the summer. (legs still 3 to 4 inches long (a Lamb cut)
Depending on how long their hair is at the time, a brushout followed by a complete combout with a medal comb takes me about 10 to 20 minutes tops, if brushed everyday, or every other day. (Sometimes I don't feel like brushing my own dogs at the end of the day after grooming a full day of dogs.) Of course this is on a coat that is no longer than 4 or 5 inches long.
Lisa, MFF

the corgi story almost made me cry. I have two corgis myself and would NEVER EVER shave them. it breaks my heart seeing that corgi. if that was my dog and the groomer shaved him without my permission i would have lost it on them! also i love your blog!!ReplyDelete

Slow Stitching Football Playoffs
6 comments:
If you like scrappy . Go for it.ReplyDelete
Use them up
Use up your scraps if that is your preference, sure! :)ReplyDelete
I have many, many projects ready for handwork. I can work on whatever strikes my fancy at the time. I don't like to just sit and watch tv.ReplyDelete
For me, I like controlled scrappy quilts. I like to pick some colors that play together well and then pull everything that fits that and start cutting. Or make at least one fabric color consistent from block to block and then things that look good with it.
I like Karen's idea of controlled scrappy, pick some colours that mean modern for you and filter your scraps according to those colours. We don't have a TV, but when I stay with people who do I take my knitting.ReplyDelete
Totally go scrappy!! Choose a colour palette of 3-5 colours to tie it all together.ReplyDelete
Very cool project... how about brights? Jewel tones? Primary colours?ReplyDelete
Hope you enjoyed your hand stitching.
Thanks for linking up to Slow Sunday Stitching!
I love to receive comments and will do my best to reply to them. Thank you for taking the time to comment!!!

to our company
How We Began?
We are Lyallpurian Di Hatti, a sister concern company of Lyallpur Overseas which was formed in the year 1925 by Late Sh. Hans Raj Kharbanda in Lyallpur (Pakistan). After partition in 1949, our sister concern rebuilt its shop at Gokul Road, Ludhiana. With passage of time, Bakery Products made by our sister concern company started getting recognition in local markets, trade circles and households, due to unparalleled quality and delicious taste. This wide-spreading recognition in few years of inception aided Late Sh. Hans Raj Kharbanda to start another business unit which is our company. Customers from distant regional markets started placing their orders to us because they are well-acquainted with the fact of products of Lyallpur group can never be inferior; as these are made to perfection. As a manufacturer, we offer Punjabi Ajwain Biscuits, Punjabi Zeera Biscuits, Coconut Biscuits etc.
Following steps of his father, Mr. Ashish Kharbanda (Sh. Ravi Kharbanda's son) in the year 1987 took charge of both the businesses, ours and our sister concern. His joining gave a new dimension to both the businesses. Not just business was expanded in terms of space in 2007 such as voluminous facility spread around 2000 sq. ft. in Model Town, Ludhiana, having an air-conditioned store and numerous other working departments but also in form of market reach.
Immense recognition within Indian markets gave idea of business expansion to man of young generation, Mr. Ashish; and he with 'Lyallpur Overseas' started export business. Through medium of International trade not just sister concern of our company supplies what we also serve like Coconut Biscuits, Fruit Biscuits, Osmania Biscuits but others products as well such as Garden Tools, Punjabi Jaggery, Sakkar (Jaggery Powder), Punjabi Wadi & Folding Pipe Beds.
The present status of Lyallpurian Di Hatti is a happy one. The success we currently enjoy is not earned overnight but attained with a lot of hard work. The job role of exporter is well-performed by us.

I took an action to outline one approach to async request-response using HTTP. Basically the request is sent as normal as the entity body of a HTTP POST request but instead of returning the response in the HTTP entity body, the server responds with a 303 (See other) status code and includes a Location header that gives a URI from which the response can be retrieved. The client then uses a new HTTP GET request to retrieve the response. E.g. Initial request: POST /StockQuote HTTP/1.1 Host: stockquote.example.com Content-Type: application/soap+xml Content-Length: nnnn <env:Envelope xmlns:env="..."> ... </env:Envelope> Response: HTTP/1.1 303 See Other Location: http://stockquote.example.com/someuniqueidentifier Retry-After: 120 Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 0 Susequent request to retrieve response: GET /someuniqueidentifier HTTP/1.1 Host: stockquote.example.com Response: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: application/soap+xml Content-Length: nnnn <env:Envelope xmlns:env="..."> ... </env:Envelope> If the response isn't yet ready the server can send back another 303 indicating when the request may be retried using the Retry-After header. I quite like this approach since it pushes the asynchrony down into the HTTP layer and doesn't require anything new in WSDL or SOAP. The existing SOAP 1.2 HTTP binding supports this usage.

The Oval Cricket Ground
The Oval cricket ground, which is known as the Kia Oval because of sponsorship, opened in 1845 and is located in Kennington, South London. It has been the home of Surrey Cricket Club ever since it opened and is owned by Duchy of Cornwall. There are two ends of the stadium known as the Pavillion End and the Vauxhall End. The stadium has a capacity of 26,000 and it was the first stadium in the England to host the international test cricket matches. In 2002, the stadium was expanded, which involved the demolition and rebuilding of the North stands; Surridge, Jardine, Peter May and Fender and replacing them with a 4 tier grandstand called the OCS stand. In 2007 the ground was expanded again which saw the south stands; Lock, Laker and Peter May being demolished and a new one built. In 2013 the OCS stand was expanded to include 'wings' on either side, which increased the capacity by 1000. The Peter May and Tony Lock stands were once again demolished in 2015 to create one large stand called Peter May, named after the famous captain of the English cricket team.
We began the modelling process by capturing the building in our LOD3 level of detail, which includes all roof details, as well as the general proportions of the walls. This was conducted using high resolution aerial photography. Once this was complete we used high resolution terrestrial photography to model the exterior and some façade details. Due to time constraints and our clients' brief we didn't model each individual seat, instead representing them by block.
- SOURCE IMAGERY: 2014, 6.5cm GSD
- ACCURACY: 15cm
This model, along with several others, was made for use on the London Eye's displays used in each observation pod. The idea being that visitors could spin the building around to see it from all directions and get a clearer impression of what they were seeing from the windows. The Oval in particular is quite distant. Most of the time our 3D models are used for planning, visualisation or marketing but can be used in a number of ways. In addition to the Oval we also have Lord's Cricket Ground.
How to buy:
The Oval 3D Model is a commercial product available in variety of formats. To fit your needs you can purchase either the stadium on its own or as a part of a bigger site model. It is easy to buy the model; either contact us if you are interested in the entire model or individual buildings or use our Get a Quote tool to select an area you require.

Writer and performer Phoebe Waller-Bridge has won the 2016 Groucho Club Maverick award.
Waller-Bridge beat nominees including Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda and Calais theatre Good Chance, which was given a special commendation.
The award, which is run by London members' club the Groucho, celebrates people from across arts and culture and the impact they have made over the past year.
The judges' citation praised Waller-Bridge for her one-woman show Fleabag, which aired on the BBC earlier this year, hailing it as a "cultural phenomenon".
"Entertaining and challenging, Fleabag holds a mirror up to the modern female condition; Waller-Bridge is an exciting new voice in British drama."
Fleabag is set to return to the Soho Theatre in December. [1]
Waller-Bridge receives £10,000, a lifetime membership to the Groucho Club and a bronze sculpture by artist Gavin Turk.
The other nominees were Damon Albarn for his project to reunite members of the Syrian National Orchestra for Arabic Music who have been displaced by conflict, and comedian Eddie Izzard for running 27 marathons in as many days for the charity Sport Relief.
Young Vic artistic director David Lan was nominated alongside Good Chance for their work together, while musician Pharrell Williams completed the list of nominees for his philanthropic work.
Groucho Club managing director Matt Hobbs said: "This year, our mavericks have made a tangible difference on a human level through their crafts, and once again have demonstrated that, diverse as the work they do is, they are united in representing art and culture in ways that are maverick."

The National Mountaineering Exhibition at Rheged in Cumbria, United Kingdom has among its exhibits an ice-axe labelled as having been used by Sandy Irvine during his and Mallory's final push in 1924. However, there is no evidence that it is indeed Irvine's axe.
On 30th May 1933, Percy Wyn-Harris, a member of the British Mount Everest Expedition, found an ice-axe. In an account of the expedition published in 1934, Hugh Rutledge wrote "[The axe] was lying loose on a slab at an angle of about 30°, about 60 ft. Below the crest of the N.E. arête. The maker was Willisch of Taesch [Switzerland, J.H.]. … A number of Willisch axes were supplied to the expedition in 1924, so we cannot be certain whether this axe was being used by Mallory or by Irvine." (Ruttledge, H. "The Mount Everest Expedition, 1933, Alpine Journal, 45, 1934, p. 226)
The basis for asserting that it was Irvine's is that the axe has three small v-shaped grooves (or nicks) carved into one edge of the handle approximately one-third of the way down from the head under the curved side of the head. These are said to match the nicks carved onto a swagger-stick, found among Irvine's possesions, that dated from Irvine's days in the Officer Training Corps (now the Combined Cadet Force) at Shrewsbury School.
However, Wyn-Harris maded it clear that "When I picked up the axe there was no mark on it. The cross, over which there has been so much controversy, was not put on either by Mallory or Irvine. It was in fact cut by my personal Sherpa porter, Kusang Pugla, who did it under threats from me that it must not be lost or mixed up with other axes." (Walt Unsworth, Everest, pub 1981, Allen Lane)
Now, this is curious. Presumably, the finding of an axe in so remote a location - and the '33 expedition was the first since 1924 - coupled with the mystery and controversy that had already sprung up around Mallory and Irvine's attempts would have caused Wyn-Harris to examine the axe closely. Certainly he paid close attention to it's location. Surely, had he done so, he would have noticed the three nicks and therefore not needed to order a sherpa to mark it so as to make it unique.
Also, note the reference to "the cross, over which there has been so much controversy...". This relates to the dispute that existed since 1934 when Noel Odell in "The ice-axe found on Everest", (Alpine Journal, 46, 1934) refuted Ruttledge's assertion that the axe marked the site of a fatal fall and asserted "It seems to me very possible that one of them - and more plausibly Irvine, who was less used to carrying an axe on a rock-climb than Mallory - may have decided to leave his axe on the ridge during the ascent...".
It wasn't until 1963, that the swagger stick with three nicks was found yet not once in any literature during the intervening 33-years, was any reference made to three nicks on the ice-axe.
The ice-axe on display at Rheged does have a roughly scratched cross, so it is clearly the one that Wyn-Harris found. However, given that the axe was so unadorned that it needed to be marked and that there is no reference to three nicks before 1963, a plausible inference is that the marks were added at some point after 1934 (when the '33 expedition had returned to England). This of course does not mean that it wasn't Irvine's axe, but equally it cannot be said to be irrefutably Irvine's axe.
This may seem a minor point, but since so many of the theories around Irvine and Mallory's last day center on the location of the axe, it's significance and reason for being where it was and who was carrying it; accurate identification of the axe is important. If it was Irvine's then Irvine was in some way part of the reason why it was found where it was. If it was Mallory's, different significance must be placed on it.

Cast98 docs
We all know this scene:
I walk into the audition with a congregation of at least 20 other waiting auditionees. My palms are sweating and my stomach is churning. When my name is finally called, I stand before a panel of judges whose faces are stern and cold. I crush my 16 bars and monologue, and I feel pretty good as I step back out into the waiting room full of nervous eyes and whispering lips.
The cast list is announced, and my name is not on it. Whaaaaaaat?
Okay, maybe I fudged the rhythm at the start of my solo but my belted high notes were on point. Maybe I should've used less of an accent in my monologue, but the audition form specifically said they wanted me to do that. Where did I go wrong? What did the director not see in me?
Audition insights give performers access to the director's observations from their audition. They are not made available until after a show has closed.
If enabled, the performer will see a button on the show page after the last performance date is past. Performers may only see insights about their own audition and can never see insights about another performer.
The performer must pay a nominal fee to view audition insights. The studio determines the cost and a portion of the proceeds benefits the studio directly.
A studio must opt-in to participate in the audition insights program. It is not turned on by default, and performers cannot see them until after the show has closed.
A studio can turn on audition insights from under the Owner's Tools menu on the studio page. Only the studio's owner can turn on this feature.
We hope that studios will use audition insights as a means for offering constructive criticism to performers who desire to improve their audition skill. The directors' observations and suggestions, captured live during the audition, can go a long way to help an auditionee adjust for next time. Since performers must pay for this special access, we encourage show directors to do their best to provide robust, meaningful feedback.

Sacred India Tarot BMS
Body - The Emperor
This quadruple-headed deity, Brahma, not only creates and brings order to the world. He also has to take responsibility for the consequences, hence his need to see all around him. Yet, he keeps creating, and reminds the beings he has created that they, too, have free will. So, they must also take responsibility for their deeds.
The Emperor suggests to me that I need to be a bit more structured this week in my exercise and diet, and take responsibility for what I do. Makes sense, as being away at the weekend I ate less healthily than normal. So, I'll try to plan meals ahead, and perhaps workouts, too.
Mind - Queen of Pentacles
In this deck, the Queen of Pentacles is Hariti, a Queen with a superabundance of maternal and nurturing energy. She had such a desire to mother, that she went around stealing other women's children - yikes. For me, though, one of the aspects of the Queen of Pentacles is that she puts her material resources to good use, however great or small. I think of her making a nice meal from leftovers, for instance. As a card for the mind, it speaks of our thoughts around abundance, and using our resources strategically.
Thinking about how best to use the resources at my disposal fits well with the Emperor's message. Once again, planning meals and shopping is appropriate: I'd planned to set up an online shop for the week, but didn't get around to it with all the craziness of travelling. So, better do that today!
Spirit - Two of Pentacles
This is a very unusual depiction for the Two of Pentacles! It looks more like the Six of Pentacles, with the wealthy figure above and the paupers below. It was chosen to show the "secluded youth" of Siddharta, the Buddha. His father wanted to keep him away from all knowledge of poverty, sickness and death. Yet, ultimately the Buddha turned away from this life of abundance and pleasure - finding a balance.
The companion book states that the insight of this card is: "Self-discipline and the ability to say "No!" are your best friends at this juncture." That certainly fits with the previous cards - finding the strength to say no to the temptations of sloth and gluttony, and to embrace a better balance physically, which will also bring a greater spiritual balance to my week...

It looks like a nice deck to work with. But for now I am content with the decks I already have (miracle!!!)ReplyDelete
TYour reading is all about balance. This theme present itself so very often on various blogs that it could be considered to be a life lesson for all of us :DReplies
Yay for contentment, Ellen! :)Delete
I wonder whether it just comes up so much because it is integral to how modern readers interpret many tarot images. If we followed fortune-teller meanings, we wouldn't see balance issues in most of our readings... So, I guess that brings it back to balance being a part of the Zeitgeist, and hence a relevant lesson to everyone living at this time :D
I really like this spread you use! I tried it out the other day, and it was clear and insightful. This is an interesting deck, as well. I like the artwork on the Lovers card (from your more recent post!). Really pretty….ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, the artwork is gorgeous throughout :) As for the spread, I'm thinking about doing something different soon, double Gemini that I am ;)Delete

DUP MLA Maurice Bradley has welcomed last week's announcement by Agriculture Minister Michelle McIlveen to help local farmers develop their farms for social farming.
Minister McIlveen revealed the opening of a Social Farming Capital Grant Scheme, with £100,000 available for farmers who wish to improve their farms to facilitate social farming participants.
Speaking as the grant was announced, the East Londonderry MLA, a member of the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs committee said: "Social farming allows farmers to open up their farms to the community in innovative ways.
"The farm, at the same time, remains a working farm.
"We have seen many success stories locally on how farmers and communities can benefit from innovative schemes, and I would urge farmers who want to find out more to contact my office or visit the DAERA website.
"Social farming can ease the financial burdens many farmers face, but it also has educational and health benefits for those that take part," said the MLA.
Last week, MLA Bradley and his East Londonderry colleague Adrian McQuillan MLA attended a roadshow in Coleraine Town Hall, hosted by Rural Support, a charity for farmers and rural families.
MLA Bradley said: "This charity provides advice to local farmers on a variety of issues, including rural stress and promoting positive mental health in rural areas.
"The 'Rural Support' charity can also provide advice on social farming. And, at the roadshow last week, we heard of the many benefits of such schemes.
"Any local farmers wishing to find out more about the work of 'Rural Support' can call their helpline number on 0845 6067 607."

Top 5 books to get lost in nature
I recently met lovely Laura Willan, one half of the couple behind Kent's first Wealden Literary Festival. Laura's passion for the environment and husband Andrew's love of books led them to mastermind this festival which is a celebration of both those things – and taking place this 18 & 19 June at beautiful Boldshaves Garden, Woodchuch. There was much discussion on the countryside, landscape and our relationship with the natural world. Or as I put it: 'Is the idea that we all just need to sometimes slow down and smell the roses?' Er, yup, pretty much.
So if you occasionally like to lift your nose out of your iPhone and enjoy the lyrical escapism of books inspired by the real world around us, here's our top 5, courtesy of Sevenoaks Bookshop, official book seller at the festival.
Natural History of Selborne, Gilbert White, 1789
Close description of nature in Reverend Gilbert White's garden and surrounding countryside.
Unofficial Countryside, Richard Maybe, 1973
Finding nature in urban settings and what would previously have been deemed 'wasteland' rather than land worthy of nature writing.
Waterlog, Roger Deakin, 1999
Wild swimmer's view of Britain – a mixture of close observation of nature with travel, meeting with people and a tinge of adventure.
The Wild Places, Robert MacFarlane, 2007
Seeking out wilderness in Britain – from the large scale such as Essex salt marshes to the minute scale of vegetation in limestone grykes in The Burren of Ireland.
H is for Hawk, Helen MacDonald, 2014
Focusing on the restorative properties of natural life.
And one for luck…
Little Toller Books, various authors
Reprints of classic nature writing which focused in detail on the experience of nature and all things rural in specific, often very small, localities.
If you're thinking of visiting the Festival, as well as talks from authors and travel writers there'll be food stalls, craft stalls and workshops. And for the Mini Muddies wildlife safaris and nature trails. A beautiful venue and a different day out: *book* your ticket now. Boom, boom.
Sevenoaks Bookshop, will be selling books of all the featured authors/speakers at the event.
All tickets £5 (includes access to festival site), Day pass, £25 (includes entrance to festival site and all talks in The Garden Tent on that day). Boldshaves Garden, Woodchurch TN26 3RA, wealdenliteraryfestival.co.uk

Don't give up on those Kingfishers, Paul. I can take any amount of them! I just wish I was seeing a few myself! I agree with Doug - that last one, of it arriving, is wonderful.ReplyDelete
After a relatively dry period with the Little Owls (although I've not been out for a duck on any days this autumn) things seem to be picking up a bit again - saw six over five different sites on Friday. Not seen a Tawny or Barnie for some time, however. Time for you to get out owling again?
Best wishes - - - RichardReplies
Oh I am not giving up on the Kingfishers just yet Richard, I am finding them very entertaining and a real photographic challenge. The owls are not going anywhere, its nice to have a break from them and do something different for a change, but I am sure it won't be long before some owls are again gracing the pages of my blog?Delete
Considering the speed of this bird, the last photo is fantastic!ReplyDelete
Congrats, Paul!

Chicago Bears Legends to Attend Cougars '85 Bears Night Celebration
Appearances by Super Bowl XX Champions Otis Wilson and Dan Hampton
By Jacquie Boatman / Kane County Cougars | May 11, 2017 1:21 PM
GENEVA, Ill. - The Kane County Cougars have announced that a pair of Chicago Bears legends will visit Northwestern Medicine Field for '85 Bears Night on Friday, June 16 at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are on sale now at kccougars.com or by calling the box office at 630-232-8811.
The night will feature appearances by Otis Wilson and Dan Hampton. Each player will be available for a pre-game autograph session when the gates open at 5:30 until 6:10 p.m. on the center field deck. Following the first autograph session, both will head to the field and throw out a ceremonial first pitch at 6:24 p.m. An additional autograph session will take place on the center field deck from 6:35 until 7:30 p.m. Following the autograph session, they will spend an inning on the radio broadcast with Cougars play-by-play announcer Joe Brand.
There is a limit of two autographs per player and four autographs total. Fans will need to provide their own items to be autographed and no posed photographs will be allowed in order to accommodate as many people through the line as possible.
Wilson, a starting outside linebacker, who was drafted by the Bears in 1980, was part of one of the most dominating defenses in football history which helped lead Chicago to their eventual Super Bowl XX victory in 1985. He played nine years in the NFL, including one year as a member of the Los Angeles Raiders, before retiring in 1989. In 2013, Wilson was inducted into the Kentucky Pro Football Hall of Fame. Hampton, a versatile defensive linemen, was drafted by the Bears in 1979 and spent his entire professional career in Chicago before retiring after the 1990 season. The four-time Pro Bowl selection's defense was also key to the Bears Super Bowl XX victory. Hampton was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2002.
'85 Bears Night also features a baseball giveaway, presented by Country Financial for the first 1,500 fans in attendance. ZOOperstars! will provide in-game entertainment with their hilarious antics followed by a post-game fireworks show, presented by Melrose Pyrotechnics.

God wants us to live trusting Him. He wants us to be faithful to Him. He wants us to know what it's like to have Him fulfill our lives and give us all that we need. He wants to bless us. When you become a believer in Jesus Christ He wants you to live in such a way that honors Him, and that way of living will certainly be different than a lot of the people around you. Not that God wants you to be odd, but instead of adapting to the ways of the world that are all about serving self, He wants us to live with His values that serve Him and honor Him. When we do, God uses us to point others to Him. He gets the attention. He gets the glory. And the people around you are either drawn to Him through you or they may keep their distance.
When the people of Israel entered the land promised to them by God, He wanted them to live trusting Him and serving Him. He wanted them to live pure lives, separate from the ways of the other nations. In so doing God would use them to testify of Himself, and the other nations would have a visual of God's reality through Israel. They would have the opportunity, after hearing about Israel and the one true God, to turn to Him in belief. So God tells His people: "When you come to the land that the Lord your God is giving you, never learn the disgusting practices of those nations. …You must have integrity in dealing with the Lord your God." Deuteronomy 18:9,13 (GW). The people of Israel were set apart to God for His purposes, and they were to live according to His purposes which would in turn invite His blessings on them. This would be a witness to the other nations.
Here are four things we can do to live like God is our God:
1. Grow.
"In a word, what I'm saying is, Grow up. You're kingdom subjects. Now live like it. Live out your God-created identity. Live generously and graciously toward others, the way God lives toward you." Matt. 5:48 (Mes)
2. Purify.
Let's make a clean break with everything that defiles or distracts us, both within and without. Let's make our entire lives fit and holy temples for the worship of God. 2 Cor. 7:1 (Mes)
3. Go forward.
Yet, my brothers, I do not consider myself to have "arrived", spiritually, nor do I consider myself already perfect. But I keep going on, grasping ever more firmly that purpose for which Christ grasped me. Phil. 3:12 (Ph)
4. Live the new you.
Could it be any clearer? Our old way of life was nailed to the cross with Christ, a decisive end to that sin-miserable life—no longer at sin's every beck and call! … Throw yourselves wholeheartedly and full-time—remember, you've been raised from the dead!—into God's way of doing things. Sin can't tell you how to live. After all, you're not living under that old tyranny any longer. You're living in the freedom of God. Rom. 6:6-7, 13-14 (Mes)

Reduction in force (RIF) changes affect vacation and work in temporary positions
Reduction in force (RIF) situations are always delicate, so it is important that supervisors call their employee relations consultant for assistance anytime they might have a RIF case in their work area. Employee Relations can guide you through the policy and help you handle the situation as smoothly as possible.
Supervisors and department heads need to be aware of two recent revisions to the Reduction in Workforce Policy, VI.F.22. The first change relates to use of vacation during a RIF situation. The second change concerns employees in RIF status who accept temporary assignments.
Previously, after completing his or her last day in pay status, an employee was placed in vacation status until the employee had used up all accrued vacation time. When the vacation was exhausted, the employee was placed in the 120-day unpaid layoff status. Under recent revisions, the employee will now go directly from the last day in pay status to the 120-day unpaid layoff status. Payment for the accrued vacation will be included in the employee�s final paycheck.
Temporary positions
In the past, employees could accept temporary positions during their 120-day unpaid layoff status and accrue sick leave and vacation as if they were regular employees. This provision caused an undue hardship on the department that hired the temporary employee because the department had no funding for the payment of sick leave or vacation. Therefore, the policy has been updated to allow employees to work in temporary positions during the 120-day unpaid layoff status, but they will not accrue vacation and sick leave. The 120-day unpaid layoff status is not suspended during the time the employee is working in the temporary position.
If you have any questions about these changes or any other parts of the Reduction in Workforce Policy, please contact Employee Relations.

D-Backs in trouble if they want to replace Gibson, Towers, rival execs say
Rival executives note that the Diamondbacks will face a major problem if they seek to replace manager Kirk Gibson and/or general manager Kevin Towers.
The team lacks obvious internal replacements.
Such was not the case the last time the D-Backs underwent a regime change, firing manager A.J. Hinch and GM Josh Byrnes on the same day in July 2010.
Gibson took over for Hinch, and at the time the team also had two other future managers on its coaching staff, Bo Porter and Matt Williams.
Jerry Dipoto replaced Byrnes and had help from another highly regarded executive in the front office, Peter Woodfork.
Towers took over on Sept. 10 of that year. Woodfork then left for the commissioner's office, and Dipoto became GM of the Angels in Oct. 2011.
Today, the D-Backs are in a much different position.
Bench coach Alan Trammell is almost certainly not a candidate to replace Gibson; the two are closely aligned, and viewed as virtually indistinguishable from one another, sources say.
The D-Backs' Triple-A manager, former major leaguer Phil Nevin, joined the organization only this season after managing the Tigers' Triple-A affiliate for three years.
Another potential candidate, D-Backs broadcaster Bob Brenly, led the club to the 2001 World Series title in his first season, but hasn't managed since '04.
As for the front office, none of Towers' special assistants are viewed as likely successors. General managing partner Ken Kendrick, in a recent interview with the Arizona Republic, indicated that he wants the team to rely more on data, and a GM with that type of background almost certainly would come from outside the organization.
Replacing a GM at mid-season generally is considered more difficult than replacing a manager. Teams are in the middle of preparing for the amateur draft the first week of June, and after that will turn their attention to the non-waiver trade deadline on July 31.

I knew you for a while, as we were writing to each other. You then caught my attention before I even saw you. At that time, I was wondering what I was doing with my life, what life was doing to me.
Finally, an event permitted us to meet. Not only you were kind enough to take me under your wing on this day I needed you, but also you literally lifted me to the seventh sky just by your presence. My mind was sending me incredible messages to my body as my heart was speeding, my skin shimmering and my life brightening.
All this in one night, without you even touching me.
And then, in the morning, we kissed… In love, I was.
My whole world changed, it became you.
From this night, this day, my love for you just keeps on growing. You control my mind and heart. You control my feelings and my breathing. I am your shadow that only wants to be attached to you all day, all hours. That shadow that trembles when you are mad, that shadow that cries when you mind is not there. The shadow that wants to envelop you constantly to feel your warmth and love.
You are the air I breathe and the blood that runs through my body.
As I keep on writing, the frustration of trying to find the right word or phrase is useless, as no word or phrase is strong enough to express my love for you. But I can say one thing: you changed my life for the best, and I thank you for that. You are all I need in this world and you make me happy.
I love you Baby…. always. ♥
To Phil.S.

One trend that stuck for all four fashion weeks was crisp tailoring and denim. Whether it be a bell sleeved white shirt paired with frayed jeans, or mom jeans styled with a power jacket, it was a big hitter throughout the street style pages of Elle and Vogue.
It's fair to say I have a good collection of blazers, and todays one might be my new favourite. The cut is flattering, sitting just below the shoulders. I was tempted to wear a shirt underneath, but figured the jacket speaks for itself. Better to keep the styling simple, adding my new statement Chloe Faye bag, which I am totally in love with! As mentioned in my last post, 'real' denim has been an investment this season and after purchasing black mom jeans it was time to get a pair of washed denim.
Todays look was shot in Paddington, one of my favourite suburbs in Sydney. It's probably the one of the most European-looking places and is perfect for my blazer/jean ensemble.
In less than two months, Chris and I will be heading to Europe to catch up with friends and family in Italy. Whenever we plan holidays, I am always drawn to that side of the world even though I have so much to still see in Asia and South America. In the interim, I've been checking out Pinterest for European street style inspiration for upcoming shoots. I miss short trips to European cities from my home town, and if I was still there I'd be on the plane to Paris once a month with tripod in hand.

The Oprah Winfrey-produced movie "Selma" has been filming in downtown Marietta for several days and a few area businesses are none too pleased.
Not about the film itself, but about the street closures associated with the project, which they say has harmed their bottom line.
"We had one appointment that showed up but if he had known he wouldn't have come," said Phillip Duke, owner of the Lucky Draw tattoo parlor. A representative from the production company first made contact a couple of weeks ago.
"They offered us $200 to shut down for the whole period," he said. "We're like, are you crazy? We've got to pay the rent."

I spent the last two days at a Healthy Equity and Social Justice workshop surrounded by social workers and health care providers all coming together with a common desire -- to find a way to diminish disparities and inequities in our community.
It just reminded me that we have two options in life: to live in silence and let the world move around us or to make our voice known and fight for what we believe in.
I challenge you to step outside of your comfort zone and chose the latter of the two. Strive to make a change. There is no such thing as not doing enough; small actions create the stepping stones of a larger movement. Don't be afraid.

On this page you will find information that pertains to our last event. This is simply to show what to expect for any future events.
Patient Information
April 13-14, 2018
Carlson Center, Fairbanks, Alaska
Alaska Mission of Mercy is a large-scale dental clinic where dental treatment is provided at no cost to individuals who cannot access and/or afford dental care. This event is completely volunteer driven and is possible because of the generous support of AKMOM partners.
Who Should Come
- Adults and Children
- If you do not have enough money to pay for dental care
- If you do not have a regular dentist
- Friday April 13, 2018
- Saturday April 14, 2018
- Come early! We'll open the clinic doors at 4:30 am.
- For patients coming for "flippers", the number of flippers that replace anterior (front) teeth is limited. Your best chance of having one made at the AKMOM requires that you be in line early Friday morning.
- Treatment will be performed from 6am – 6pm on both days.
- No appointments will be taken or are necessary.
- Patients are seen on a first come – first serve basis.
- The number of patients seen will be limited by clinic capacity.
Carlson Center
2010 2nd Ave
Fairbanks, AK 99701
Patient Frequently Asked Questions
How can I receive services at AKMOM?
Come and wait in line. Patients will be seen on a first come, first serve basis. Other states holding a MOM event have seen patients starting to line up the day/night before, with the clinic at capacity well before mid-morning. Once the total estimated number of patients we can see each day have been registered, no additional patients can be seen. Because we expect to see hundreds of patients in a day, please be prepared to wait several hours for service.
We are not taking reservations. Treatment is solely first–come, first-serve basis, as we can until we reach capacity.
Can I view the paperwork that I will be asked to fill out?
Yes, you can view the patient registration form by clicking here (2018 Patient Registration Form). Please do not fill this out in advance. You will be given a numbered registration form at the AKMOM event.
What kind of services can I expect to receive at AKMOM?
Our main goal is to relieve pain and restore smiles. We provide extractions, fillings, root canals limited to front teeth only and cleanings as well as some other dental procedures that can be appropriately done in a mission setting. We do not provide cosmetic dentistry, full dentures, implants or braces. Further, we may determine that we cannot take care of all of your dental needs at AKMOM, so that we can relieve pain for the greatest number of patients. For a complete list, click the link: Services Provided at AKMOM
Do I have to wait in line if my case is an emergency?
Everyone has to wait in line for services. Most AKMOM patients are suffering and in pain, so we do not take anyone out of line.
How long can I expect to spend at AKMOM?
Patients seeking treatment at AKMOM should be prepared to spend the entire day at the event. If you are not available when your name is called for treatment, we will move to the next patient.
What can I expect at AKMOM?
Come prepared for the weather when waiting in line, and have a plan to store your gear (tent, sleeping bag, blankets) while you are in the clinic, as large bags are not permitted. Also bring snacks as your wait for treatment may be lengthy.
Once capacity has been reached, the clinic doors will be closed and a sign will be placed outside as notification to others. This process will repeat on the second morning.

The blurb: Sam Ransom, broadsided by the death of his old partner Abner, learns of a note left by the dead man – warning that the infamous Meak twins are after Ransom's life because of what happened at Bur Oak Springs over two decades ago. Ransom knows he must alert the rest of his gang, who were there at the time. His family is in jeopardy and their only hope of salvation is the gang's return to confront the Meak brothers…
The old guns find themselves up against young guns. It's a classic situation, where the past returns to not only haunt the hero, but to threaten disaster and death. While the story is set in July 1892 and spans a period of twenty-one days, it harks back to 1859 and also 1866.
This excerpt is early on, when the twins Gideon and Justus Meak have been let out under custody of the deputy sheriff to visit their dying mother.
'Ma, don't go on so.' Gideon resembled his brother in many ways, though his dark brown hair was cut short and his eyes were the colour of shadow – umber. His thin pallid lips and receding chin were inherited from her late husband, God rest his damnable soul. 'He was only saying–''Now you both gang up against your poor mother, do you?' She scowled and eyed their handcuffs. 'What a sorry pair you've become. I only wish your poor father was here!'
'Shucks, we know, Ma,' said Gideon.
She let out a harsh laugh. 'Know? You know nothing!'
Justus moved nearer and sat on the side of her bed. He reached out a hand for hers, but she pulled away. 'Ma, we remember what you told us, about Pa being murdered an' all.'
'That wasn't the half of it, son,' she whispered bitterly.
Leaning closer, Justus said, 'What d'you mean, Ma?'
'Where's that lawman you brung with you?' she whispered.
'Out on the porch rolling a smoke,' Gideon said softly. He moved to the other side of the bed. 'Why're we whispering?'
'I don't want that lowdown skunk of a lawman to listen in, that's why.'
'I'll go check.' Gideon moved to the door, cracked it open a little. He nodded, pushed the door to and silently returned to her bedside. 'He's dozing in the rocker.'
'My chair,' she said in a raised tone then caught herself. She looked around at the poorly furnished room and her heart lurched when she glimpsed her reflection in the dressing table mirror. Her once auburn hair was now grey and thin, while her hazel eyes seemed dull, as if diluted pigment. Her thin lips pursed. The family nose was prominent, however, and both her sons took after her there. She tore her eyes away as flames of anger and frustration burned afresh in her breast. Now she must tell her boys and set them on their road of vengeance. 'There were six men in your father's gang,' she said, clearing her throat. She closed her eyes and recited, 'Carter, Ransom, Tylor, Baines and Nolan.'
'That's five,' Justus said.
Her eyes sprang open and impaled him. 'Your pa made up the six, idiot!'
'Oh, right.'
'What happened?' asked Gideon.
Her lower lip trembled. 'They decided to share their loot between five, that's what, and so your pa was shot in the back.' Tears blurred her vision. She glanced down at her hands, thin and worn like an old woman's and here she was only fifty-five. Going before her time. 'Those no-goods not only killed your pa, they ruined my life and yours as well.'
'We know that, Ma,' said Gideon. 'You've said it often enough, we could've ridden a straighter trail if we'd had pa to guide us.'
'Well, it bears retelling.'
'Sure, Ma.'
Justus said, 'This is the first time you told us their names – the killers' names.'
'Well, I tried to bring you up right, but you still went down a crooked path. I didn't want you going out after them, claiming justice – though the Lord knows, your pa deserves it!'
'So why are you telling us now?' Gideon asked.
'Yeah, after all these years. We were about six when pa was killed, right, Gideon?'
'So Ma says.'
'I had to bring you up, fend for you and feed and clothe you.'
'We know, and we're grateful…'
'You still haven't answered my question,' Gideon said. 'Why tell us now?'
She nodded and glanced down at her trembling thin hands. 'My conscience, I suppose. They left your pa for dead but he managed to get home and told me everything, how he'd been double-crossed and dry-gulched. They ran off with his share of the loot. A lot of money, it was. Money that should've been ours – now it could be yours.' She wiped tears away with the heel of her hand. 'I nursed him till he died.'
'But why now, Ma?' Gideon persisted.
She raised her head and eyed her sons. 'Because now you're men and you'll soon be free – free to exact revenge.'
'We still have four years left to serve,' said Gideon.
'Maybe two, if we get parole,' added Justus.
'Is that so? Well, the doctor tells me I have maybe two weeks left to serve in this life, so I needed to speak to you both before my time was up.' Her hands reached out to each side, fingers interlacing with theirs. 'Don't fail me, boys. Do it for your father.'
Gideon looked across his mother at Justus.
She watched them, warm contentment in her chest, and smiled as Gideon said, 'We've got to get rid of Deputy Stone.'
Justus pursed his lips then nodded.
Gideon was the strong one, she knew. He'd do her bidding. And Justus, the weaker one, would follow.
She let go of their hands and twisted her thin right arm behind her, under the pillow and pulled out a Colt Model P .45. She was surprised how heavy it felt; when she'd put it there, its weight had barely signified. 'I thought you might need this,' she said. 'It's loaded.'
Blood drained from Justus's face.
Gideon nodded then took the weapon, hefted it, his handcuffs chinking.
As Gideon moved towards the door, she wanted to call to him, but that might alert the deputy. She'd dearly love to watch blood being spilled but consoled herself that she'd listen instead.
