Stamp duty hikes 'really thick'
Property chains are already showing signs of crumbling due to the Government's stamp duty hikes, estate agents have warned.
Chancellor George Osborne placed a stamp duty rate of 7% on £2 million homes in Wednesday's Budget, rising to 15% for homes in this price bracket bought through companies.
The Government wants to clamp down on the practice of "enveloping", whereby people try to avoid stamp duty by using a company to buy a residential property. The home is then sold on as shares in the company in a bid to sidestep the duty normally paid.
However Ed Mead, director at London-based Douglas and Gordon, said 40% of the estate agent's business was done with companies.
He said: "These are people with natural corporations or trusts. These people are suddenly being told they've got to pay 15%. That's almost half of deals in central London. This is not going to solve anything. It's going to clobber lots and lots of normal people."
He said the people he dealt with were not trying to avoid stamp duty but bought in the name of companies and trusts "because it suits them". Mr Mead said people buying through companies would now be at a huge disadvantage if they were in competition, with individuals paying the 7% duty instead of 15%.
He said: "This really, really is thick. It hasn't been thought through. Every single deal that we've got that involves companies, the brakes have been slammed on. We've got four and I know of many, many more."
The stamp duty rises will mostly affect buyers in London, an area which has been key in supporting the market by recording consistent price growth due to strong overseas buyer interest. London homes have been vital in keeping average prices up, with the capital often viewed as the most "healthy" and stable area at a time when the housing market generally remains weak and patchy.
London asking prices have reached a high of £455,159, up 7.3% year-on-year, Rightmove found this week, while the typical asking price for homes in Kensington and Chelsea broke the £2 million barrier for the first time. The Midlands, Wales and the North West saw prices dip year-on-year.
Of the 2,834 homes sold in England and Scotland in the last two years for more than £2 million, 2,059 were in London and just two were in Yorkshire and the Humber, according to property website Zoopla.

OTTAWA – These are indeed heady times for the Ottawa Senators.
For the first time since November, the Senators find themselves on a three-game win streak. What's more, Ottawa has won four of its last five contests and is just three points behind the Detroit Red Wings for a wildcard spot.
While no one is looking to the playoffs just yet, the Senators understand the importance of playing solid hockey heading into the second half of the season.
Neither the players nor coaching staff can put their fingers on one thing the team has done differently of late. But all agree the Senators are finally playing with a level of confidence that was lacking earlier.
"Confidence is huge," said forward Bobby Ryan. "It opens up the game for you and when you're on the wrong side of the trickle effect, which we seem to have been for the first half, you tighten up a little bit.
"You don't make plays that are right in front of you, you try to look for something better. When you're confident, you're making the five- and 10-foot passes cleaner. You're coming out of the zone cleaner. You're entering the zone cleaner and you're getting more opportunities."
Earlier this year, Ottawa would win a big game but follow it up with a lacklustre performance. During this current five-game stretch, the Senators have beat Pittsburgh, Boston, Washington and Winnipeg.
The only blemish was a 5-0 loss to the Bruins, which seemed to serve as a wake-up call.
"When you beat teams like that and you know you can contend and play those close games with teams that are right at the top of their conference and division it's a domino effect," said Ryan. "You feel like you need to carry it over.
"We haven't done that successfully all year, but we're starting to right now."
Senators coach Paul MacLean obviously likes the way his club is playing currently and feels the squad began showing improvement midway through December.
"I don't think it's just the last three games or since the 5-0 game, I think it goes back to more that we've been slowly building some confidence and winning does that for you," said MacLean. "When you have success it's easier to go back and find the reasons why you have success and it's easier to build on them."
MacLean also believes the team's work ethic and attention to detail have improved. Ironically, though, the Senators have won their last three games without captain Jason Spezza.
Spezza has been sidelined with a reported hip injury. He participated in Friday's practice but remains questionable for Saturday's game against the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre.
After facing Montreal, Ottawa won't play again until Wednesday so there's no need to rush Spezza back. However, the Senators captain is anxious to return.
The 30-year-old says he's felt improvement daily but will err on the side of caution.
"It's my favourite building to play in so that kind of factors into it for me," said Spezza with a laugh. "We'll see and I'll talk to (club trainers)."
In Spezza's absence, Mika Zibanejad has played centre between Milan Michalek and Cory Conacher. The trio has combined for four goals and five assists in the last three games.
"They've played with speed and they've played positionally very sound," said MacLean. "Mika's been very good skating in the middle of the rink and showing patience in the middle and distributing the puck.
"They've attacked the net and got to the net, which is a big part of why they're having success."
Saturday's game versus Montreal will provide Ottawa with a stiff test to extend its win streak to a season-high four contests.
"Bell Centre is always a fun place to play and they're playing well," said MacLean. "They're a good team.
"Every game is a test. For us right now we just look forward to our next game and play game-by-game and go day-by-day and do the best we can to get better and (Saturday) is a good opponent and we're looking forward to it."
NOTES—Craig Anderson will start in goal Saturday but right-winger Chris Neil won't play. He remains day-to-day with a lower body injury . . . Ryan is ready to move past remarks made about him by members of USA Hockey regarding his exclusion from the American Olympic hockey team and accepts GM David Poile's apology. If asked to join the squad as an injury replacement, Ryan said he "wouldn't have to think about it. Anytime you get a chance to wear the U.S. jersey you put it on and play as hard as you can. I would probably take advantage of it."

The weather is lovely for September! And the roads through town are messed up thanks to a new bye-pass being built and essential works to the sewerage system making driving a nightmare. So I've been WALKING - with Baby Freddie in the sling.
I've really enjoyed it actually - I didn't think I would. I downloaded a free pedometer app to my phone to track how far and how long I walked for as well as count my steps. This week I have walked into town and back twice, and clocked up 3.5 miles each time. I had wanted to go for a third day but I had to do things out of town too so it wasn't practical. It inspired me to buy some more sensible boots than I would have - grips and ankle support instead of heels and bling (in fairness as I'm not back to work in the office until May I don't really NEED to get sexy boots, but the school run alone necessitates flat soles and good grips, especially when that hill gets icy). I also borrowed my eldest's big camping rucksack to carry the shopping in.
The walking worked out at 16 pro points when I entered it into the Weight Watchers activity tracker. I genuinely felt really good being out in the fresh(ish) air and sunshine. The best bit though was seeing Freddie enjoy being out and about, looking round when he heard new sounds, taking an interest in his surroundings... So much better for him than sleeping in the car seat all the time.
I hope the weather stays fine because I will quickly lose motivation for walking outside once the rain starts!

As the Shaquille O'Neal-sponsored All-Star Comedy Jam finally hits Raleigh, we know there will be an array of comics on the bill who will, for lack of a better phrase, act a damn fool. But we also know that out of all of them, Tony Roberts will take up a lot of stage space while doing it. As black comics go, the Detroit native is by far the most animated. A veteran of HBO's Def Comedy Jam and BET's ComicView, Roberts literally can't stay in one place when he's performing. It's like he's in attack mode, assaulting the audience with one-liners and physical gags. He may even be the first comic who does standup to work off some pounds. His 2010 DVD Tony Roberts: Wired shows him literally sweating through his clothing! See if he doesn't do the same thing in person. —Craig D. Lindsey

Plan B ends Irish season
Early foul trouble puts Notre Dame in inescapable hole
With a minute left in the Tuesday's national championship game, the Lady Bears had rocked the fight out of the Irish. With a 22-point lead locked in place, it was time for both teams to empty their bench and make sure the seniors had a chance to touch the floor at the national championship.
Going into the game, Notre Dame was well aware of the mountain in front of it. To have any chance at killing a record-setting 40-0 season for Baylor, the Fighting Irish needed a good game from their core, especially the pace-setting group of seniors that have been a steady and dependable force all season.
Unfortunately, that just didn't happen.
Fifth-year senior Devereaux Peters stayed in foul trouble throughout the game trying to contain an unstoppable 6-foot-8 Brittney Griner. With Peters as such a huge part of the gameplan in shutting down Griner, it forced Notre Dame into Plan B.
"And the second half, when we got into the foul trouble that destroyed our gameplan," head coach Muffet McGraw said. "We really needed Devereaux. She was a big part of the plan. And we didn't have her."
One glaring difference on Tuesday's stat sheet compared to Sunday's was the contributions of senior guard Natalie Novosel, or lack thereof. She couldn't break the ice in the national championship game, going 0-11 from the field with her five points coming from the free-throw line.
Junior All-American Skylar Diggins was able to help Notre Dame make a dent in the Lady Baylor lead, but it was just never enough. She needed the key personnel that she's so used to having on the hardwood stepping up with her.
"I don't think we were taking the shots we had," Diggins said. "And when we were, we weren't shooting it confidently. And so that dug us in a hole a little bit. So we were chasing, chasing. I think we spent a lot of energy chasing."
Fifth-year senior Brittany Mallory wasn't able to put a lot of points on the board either, finishing with only three despite playing with toughness and leadership.
Notre Dame was down by 23 and Mallory was still diving after the ball. At that point, it may not have been about winning, but rather pride.
McGraw returns Diggins next season, but it definitely will not be the same with the loss of such a special group of seniors. McGraw's tears during the post-game press conference spoke much more than the words she was able to choke out about how much the senior class meant to her.
"I was hoping nobody would ask that question. The waterworks will begin now," McGraw said, pausing to control her emotions. "It's such a tough way for their career to end."
Baylor will remain a huge target of the Fighting Irish next season, as the Lady Bears will return all of their major contributors. How will Notre Dame, or any other team for that matter, be able to stop Griner and the Lady Bears?
"I think [Baylor will] be preseason No. 1. And we're still going to work at getting Brittney to leave early," McGraw joked.
Too bad for Notre Dame, that's just not Brittney's plan.
• Notre Dame falls in the championship game for the second consecutive year. Of the 14 teams that have returned to the championship game in consecutive years, nine have claimed the title.
• Notre Dame falls to 0-3 all-time against Baylor.
• The loss for the Fighting Irish is just the third against a ranked opponent this year.
• The national championship game marked just the eighth time all season Notre Dame was out-rebounded.
• The Irish, who entered the contest ranked second nationally in scoring offense, managed only 61 points, the third lowest of the season.
• Notre Dame, fifth in the nation in scoring defense, allowed 80 points, the third most given up on the season.
• The Fighting Irish recorded the fifth-fewest rebounds in a championship game with 27. They were also outrebounded by 19, the third-largest rebounding margin in championship game history.

At a conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Yellen said that reforms put in place after the 2007-2009 financial crisis have strengthened the financial system without impeding economic growth, and any future changes should remain modest. "We're seeing a little bit of a relief that (Yellen) wasn't hawkish rally in Treasuries, but it's minor," said John Briggs, head of strategy for the Americas at NatWest Markets in Stamford, Connecticut. Benchmark 10-year notes gained 5/32 in price to yield 2.176 percent, down from 2.194 percent on Thursday. European Central Bank President Mario Draghi was also due to address the annual economic policy conference later on Friday. Investors will watch for any signals that the ECB is close to paring its bond purchases, though two sources have told Reuters that Draghi will also not deliver any new policy message at the event. Yields for benchmark bonds have held in a tight range since falling to almost two-month lows last Friday on concerns about political discord in Washington and tensions between the United States and North Korea. Data this Friday showed that new orders for key U.S.-made capital goods rose slightly more than expected in July and shipments surged, suggesting an acceleration in business spending early in the third quarter.

A July 4 article about computer simulations of terrorist attacks incorrectly said that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission reported in 2003 that a computer worm penetrated the control systems of a nuclear power plant, disabling its safety mechanisms for about five hours. The worm disabled a safety-monitoring system, but it did not affect the rest of the systems safeguarding the plant.
A July 2 Real Estate article said that Michael Halpern had previously helped a friend renovate a house. At the time, that person was Halpern's boyfriend.
A May 23 Associated Press article about the American Psychiatric Association's vote to urge the legal recognition of same-sex marriages incorrectly said that the American Psychological Association removed homosexuality from a list of mental disorders more than three decades ago. It was the American Psychiatric Association that took that action, in 1973.

A Lafayette man suspected in the early Wednesday morning fatal stabbing of a 47-year-old woman was found dead inside the dead woman's vehicle following an apparent suicide that occurred later in the morning, an official said.
Law enforcement found Michael Denson, 47, dead inside Melissa Lair's 2009 Mazda 3 at a rest area north of Washington on Interstate 49, according to a news release from the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office.
Trooper Stephen Hammons, spokesman for State Police, said the vehicle was found between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. by the U.S. Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force.
Denson's cause of death has yet to be determined, Hammons said.
Capt. Craig Stansbury, a spokesman for the Sheriff's Office, said Denson is believed to have stabbed Lair several times in the upper body following a domestic argument inside Lair's home at 108 Lamas Circle.
Denson then fled the scene in Lair's vehicle, the release said.
"The type of relationship can only be confirmed as an acquaintance at this time," Stansbury said in an email.
The Sheriff's Office has no information about any previous incidents between the two people, Stansbury said.
The Sheriff's Office was notified of the killing at 1:14 a.m. after an unidentified man found Lair unresponsive and bleeding on the floor of the residence upon returning home from work, Stansbury said.
Stansbury said investigators are not releasing the identity of the caller or his relationship to the woman, adding that the caller is not believed to be involved in the incident.
The investigation is ongoing, Stansbury said.

"THIS IS A SCAM!! We ordered what we thought was a copy of the MS Office 2010 Professional and received the Academic version AE software on 7/9/2010. We have emailed them with no response as of 7/19/2010. The company came up when we searched through google with google check-out and it listed the Office 2010 Pro version + and no indication it was the Academic Version. You have to navigate their site to their policies & click all the way down on Academic to find out that's what their company is about. You would not know to do this unless you were looking for it. The images of the product are incorrect & showed us the MS Office 2010 Pro version."
"I am so fed up with this company! I ordered an academic version of Microsoft Project, not knowing it was academic, and returned is within a week. As of today (April 20, 2010) I still haven't received my refund.
I gave them 60 days to process the return before I contacted them at which time I was told they had no record of the return so I sent my UPS tracking information to them and they still haven't responded!
These people are crooks and I should have heeded the warnings I read online and not purchased from them.
There was nowhere on the description of the product that stated it was an academic version.
They said it's on the online store disclaimer that they are an academic software supplier but after searching the entire site, the only place I could find reference to that fact was on the academic tab. Who's going to look there unless that's what you're looking for?
Deceptive business practices to be sure!"
"I've bought from this company before back in 2007 or so and got CS3 Premium. There were no problems, they had phone service assuring me that the software was legal and I could even register it with Adobe. When CS4 Master came out, I tried to see from Adobe if I can get some sort of discount since I already had most of the CS3 programs and they referred me to Software Surplus.
Anyways, I bought the FULL CS4 Master Suite from SS on Feb. 4, 2010... received it and it looked as if it were passed around a bunch and when I called Adobe, SS sold me an educational version. I tried contacting them... no response. They didn't even give me a return label.
I filed a dispute on my credit card and contacted Google Checkout. For anyone that has experienced the same thing or similar, I suggest you do the same. Google Checkout is looking into it for me as well as the credit card company."
"Still waiting on refund for MS Office 2007 "Academic" version that was a double-charged item and one of those items was returned on 1/11/2010 proof on USPS site but no refund has been forthcoming thus far. I'm prepared to disclose their reputation and file a complaint across the whole WWW if thats what it takes.
"SOFTWARE SURPLUS IS SELLING ILLEGITIMATE SOFTWARE. BUYER BEWARE!!!I ordered Adobe CS4 online from Software Surplus & rec'd it quickly enough but knew something was wrong when there was no box or manual with the software, just a CD case. I contacted Adobe for help when I had problems installing the software (an incompatibility with Windows) but Adobe informed me the software was registered to someone else and they would not support the software in the future. My computer's hard drive died three months later and was replaced. But when I reloaded the CS4 software, I was unable to register it because of the previous ownership issue. So I contacted Software Surplus a number of times but received no response. So I have paid almost $1000 for software I can't use. Don't be taken in by their website, it looks legit & payment is made through Google; THEY ARE RUNNING A SCAM!! "
"Order was shipped ground when 2-day service was requested. When I called to inquire about the order, I was told "their system was down, they'll call me back when it's working again." Never heard from them. I kept calling for 3 days to find out where the shipment was. Eventually received the software, no box, no manuals, only discs in the plastic cases. I haven't tried to install because I plan on returning it, but something tells me the serial number doesn't work. This was for Adobe CS3 Master collection, a $1500 software package. Like everyone else, I will never buy anything from this company again and strongly advise against anyone else doing so as well."
"I ordered a copy of Acrobat Pro 8 from this company and they sent me the "For Education Bundles Only" version of the software.
It clearly stated on the packaging that is was not to be sold separately. I tried to install it on my computer but the license key on the packaging was invalid. I followed their instructions and emailed them twice to get a valid license number and they did not respond.
After 30 days of not hearing from them I returned the software and they refunded my money less $6.95 shipping and a $20.00 restocking fee. I'll never buy from them again, as I feel I paid $26.95 to play the "Place an Order" game on their website.
Software Surplus made it appear as if it mailed my software by printing out a mailing label, but never physically mailed the software that I had ordered. USPS states, "The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper on September 16, 2008 to expect your package for mailing. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date." Paid $4.95 for "Rush Handling." Was charged $6.95 for Priority Mail service even though seller's policy states "all orders over $50.00 qualify for free shipping." My order was for $239.95.
Software Surplus's Shipping Policy
Software Surplus ships orders directly, we do not rely on 3rd party drop shipping companies, and as a result have some of the fastest order turn around times available. Most orders ship in less than 1 business day. We offer 3 shipping options, and all orders over $50.00 qualify for free shipping. USPS Priority Mail ($6.95), which is usually delivered in less than 4 days from the date of sale UPS 2nd day Air which is usually delivered within 3 days of the date of sale. UPS 3 Day Select, which is usually delivered within 4 days of the date of sale.
"I ordered Visio 2007 Professional, and received Visio 2007 Professional ACADEMIC VERSION!!! What baloney! The image of what was shown is different than what I got (red AE warning on top and bottom, but no such thing on the shown image). Software Surplus (or SoftwareSurplus) calls this "Visio 2007 Professional Full Install". Then they had 5 (printed) pages of stuff they probably copied off of Microsoft's web site, and in fine print at the bottom they say "Full Version for Windows, Priced for Academic Users". What a SCAM! You have to scroll down five pages just to get the truth, when the top of the page totally misrepresents what you are going to get!
Other reviews also talked about a "restocking fee", and I'll be posting this complaint everywhere (perhaps with my lawyer) if this is the case!!!
"Ordered Acrobat 7.0 Standard (Full Installation). Received Acrobat 8.0 Standard (Academic Version). They refuse to issue RMA without charging a 15% restocking fee. Calling them just wastes my time as I spend hours on hold. Their online system will NOT issue me an RMA number, and their phone system says that I can only obtain an RMA online. Very confusing and deceptive."
"Ordered Windows XP Professional CD full install with SP2 --- received the CD with product key for installation. Attempted to install on brand new computer and CD was defective and would not copy all files, message stating that file on CD was corrupt. Received RMA authorization and RMA number from Software Surplus. Returned defective CD via USPS registered mail with green signature return card affixed by post office to package. Post office was slow in delivering package, but package was delivered and signed for as received by Software Surplus and I received my green return signature card indicating acceptance of return in the mail. Software Surplus has ignored my RMA. I have emailed them numerous times with no response from them. I have attempted to telephone them several times and twice I got through to a message box where I left my name, telephone number, and reason for the call. They have not responded. They are ignoring me totally. Their website, softwaresurplus.com is still active on the web and they appear to still be selling software. They are located in Las Vegas, Nevada. DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER PURCHASING FROM THIS SELLER AS THEY ARE NOT HONEST AND IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM THEY WILL KEEP BOTH THE SOFTWARE YOU RETURN AND YOUR MONEY."
"i ordered FileMaker Pro 7.0 from Software Surplus after spending a considerable amount of time researching the product and prices. The product was advertised from Software Surplus as a full and registered copy. When I received the product, after paying only 20% less than full retail I received one CD no box and registration number on the sleeve. I could not register this product with FileMaker without the SKU numeber on the box.
Finally I called Filemaker and they informed me that the registration number was already in use by 7 OTHER PEOPLE. Neat trick, steal serials and sell them for real. I caleed, explained I wanted a refund and they hung up and refused to answer the phone ever again.

Yes, I'm a huge fan of spending time in nature with my kids. And yes, I live in an urban jungle. One in which the nearest neighborhood park is about a mile away. Beyond that, the nearest trails, rivers, creeks, city or state parks are at least 20 minutes away. By car.
When you live in a concrete-filled city like Los Angeles, sometimes connecting with nature can seem... a little challenging.
Then again, sometimes you just have to slow down and take a closer look at what's around you.
How exactly do you do that? In the seven years since having kids, I've developed a few skills that come in quite handy if you're trying to connect kids with nature when you're not actually in nature. Here goes.
Develop a 'nature radar.'
Okay, I made that name up. But I think this is probably one of the most important things you need to do to appreciate nature in an urban setting. A "nature radar" allows you to connect with nature even if you're somewhere you wouldn't expect to discover it.
Case in point: Earlier this week, my 3-1/2-year-old and I were on a walk around our neighborhood. He stopped for a second to point out a flower he'd spotted. When we leaned in for closer inspection, we noticed something like ten different bugs living on the stem of the flower. Needless to say, we talked about our discovery for hours.
Don't count out the concrete.
The other day we spotted a row of dandelions growing right alongside the curb where my car was parked. Before getting inside the car, the kids and I spent a few minutes looking at the flowers, stems and leaves growing out of apparently thin air. This isn't the first time we've seen signs of nature peeking up through the pavement.
Use your commute time to your advantage.
Have you ever noticed what's going on in nature right outside your car window? We've pulled over more times than I can count because one of us spotted something worth watching. Cool cloud formations, gorgeous sunsets and make-you-smile rainbows. And the birds. From bird chases to group meetings on a wire, they never disappoint.
Get to know your local critters.
We talk to the crows that live in and around our house. (And no, we're not nuts.) So I guess I shouldn't be surprised that my 7-year-old gives me regular updates about the bird activities he sees while he's at school. Stuff like which direction the birds are flying, how many of them are gathered and whether they're quiet or noisy. He even uses their behavior to predict storms.
Break free from the pack at your neighborhood park.
Step away from the sandbox and playground for a few minutes. I know it's a scary thought. But you might be surprised at just how much nature discovery can take place at an otherwise man-made green space.
A few of our favorite ways to make a nature connection at the park? We'll take a walk around the perimeter of the park; if there's a paved path even better. Once on the "trail," we might try to count how many animals we can spot in a minute. Or maybe we keep it even simpler and lie down on the grass and do some cloud watching.
Take a closer look at the things you see every day.
Like the roses outside our front door, which one afternoon housed a winged critter that sent my 7-year-old over the moon with excitement. Last fall, we spotted all kinds of cool spiders and webs in the shrubbery right in our driveway.
How do you like to explore nature in an urban setting?

A busy Easter weekend followed by an equally busy start to the following week has lead to this post being a week later than planned. However I have quite a bit of stuff to show you. Firstly the progress made on Lizzie*Kate's Very Scary. Part two is completed as in most of the border for part one (not shown).
I was lucky to finish this part in a week considering that Monday evenings are turning into a non sewing night as I am catching up on TV programmes recorded over the weekend. Lets face it this character demands full attention!
Also this series as so much is in flashback.
After Lizzie*Kate week it was back to Just Nan's Hoppington Hill. I had two squares still to finish and the beading.
Here it is before finishing into a cube.
Here are a couple of photos of it made up, which I managed to do on Easter Sunday morning.
This was stitched on 32 ct Dusk Belfast Linen with the recommended DMC floss.
I still had quite a lot of Sunday left so rather than going on to the next project on the rotation, Shepherd's Bush Wisteria Snowman, I stitched Just Nan's Strawberry Bunny as I knew it would be a quick stitch and a relatively easy finish. This was stitched on 32 ct Smokey White Belfast linen with the recommended DMC floss.
This is not a very good photo of it before finishing.
Here she is made up.
So back to Shepherd's Bush. I had been stitching the Wisteria Snowman but decided to sew something a little more seasonal, Spring Trifles. I made a start and found that I had some floss colours missing so that put a stop to that. This is as far as I got.
So the Wisteria Snowman came back out and got finshed.
Not being in the mood for any more snowmen, I still have the red and stone snowmen in my stash, I went in search of something else of Shepherd's Bush to sew. After the snowmen the only other Shepherd's Bush kits I have are Halloween ones so Into the Night it was.
This came as a kit and was stitched on 32 ct hand-dyed linen - Murky Pond with various silk floss.
So this week it's the turn of The Drawn Thread on the rotation. I only have three kits of theirs left in the stash, Almost Halloween, Christmas Jumble and the ABC sampler. The ABC sampler is on the larger side an will need a roller frame so that will be something for the summer holidays. I'm still not sure which of the other two kits I will choose. All will be revealed next time.
Happy stitching!

The Feed Zone Cookbook Nutrition Tips by Allen Lim & Biju Thomas
Eat real food
Regardless of diet, preference, or theme what separates a good diet from a great diet are the ingredients you start with. Begin with fresh, whole foods that come in their own wrapper with as many of their parts intact as possible—foods that are minimally processed, grown locally by real farmers.
Don't ride on empty
Most athletes find that eating about three hours before competition or two hours before training works very well. You'll need ample time to digest your food. Sometimes athletes will have a little snack, like one of my portable rice cakes or an energy drink, about 30 minutes before competition to keep their blood sugar normal.
One thing to realize, though, is that eating too close to beginning a ride can lead to a pretty rough first hour because of how your insulin levels react to eating. If you are stuck beginning a ride with an empty fuel tank, consider waiting to eat until you have started exercising. It's not an optimal approach, but it's better than nothing.
When exercising, it's recommend that athletes replace about half of the calories they burn per hour with solid food and a sports drink.
After riding more than four hours, it's critical that you eat carbs within 30 minutes of getting off the bike. After the 30-minute window, your body will be reluctant to refuel as quickly and completely as if you can take in a few hundred calories right away. Don't dally around the stage finish – get eating as soon as you can and then have a real meal within two hours.
Hydration: what to drink and how much
A surprisingly small loss of body fluids can have a outsized effect on performance. Just as we advocate eating real food, we think cyclists will hydrate best by avoiding artificial drinks. Yet there is no situation when water alone is superior to a sports drink with about a 4 percent carbohydrate solution and some sodium.
It's difficult to find a sports drink that is not full of artificial colors, artificial sweeteners, and synthetic flavoring agents. Skratch Labs, the official energy drink of Pedal The Plains, makes a hydration mix that is all natural, tastes great and balances electrolytes and sugars to minimize digestion problems.
You'll want to hydrate enough to limit your water losses to no more than 3 percent of your body weight. The best and easiest way to tune your hydration is to practice. In the weeks before Pedal The Plains, weigh yourself before and after rides during which you've drunk but not eaten. Your goal is to take in enough fluids that you weigh about the same before and after. Get familiar with how much you sweat in different types of weather and adjust your fluid intake so you stay hydrated.
Making weight
Many recreational cyclists ride not just because they enjoy it, but also because they want to lose weight and get in shape. If you are interested in losing weight, it's recommended that you make it your goal to lose one pound per week using this simple rule of thumb about being hungry.
One pound of fat is equivalent to 3,500 calories. For many riders, this amounts to a 500-calorie deficit each day, which means you will be going to bed a little hungry.
When you're not riding much, it's okay to be hungry. When you are training, be a little hungry.
But during Pedal The Plains or during any event or race, you want to make sure that you aren't hungry while riding or before you hit the sack. You need to fuel for your ride, so eat enough that you aren't hungry before turning in for the night yet not so much that you reach full-blown food coma.
Some Examples Dishes
- Biju's Oatmeal provided professional cyclist such as Chris Horner and the RadioShack Team the power needed to conquer the 2011 Tour of California.
- Blueberry & Chocolate Coconut Rice Cakes are the true sweet treat portable.
- Fish Tacos are excellent year-round. Stock your freezer with frozen filets, which are affordable and readily available!
- Cinnamon Almond Pancakes will fuel you all morning with a mix of carbs, proteins, and fats that are ideal for long-distance riders.
- Sweet Rice Porridge will top off the tank. High glycemic white rice will push fuel into muscle cells, making this dish an excellent way to start the morning after yesterday's long ride.
- Chicken Fried Rice is the favorite post-ride recovery meal of pro cyclists at the Tour de France. Savory, salty, and packed with the ideal mix of carbs, proteins, and fats, Allen Lim's signature dish will rejuvenate tired legs and weary souls.
- Allen Lim's famous Rice Cakes are the portable snack that will agree with your belly. Over many days of riding, eating real food is far healthier and more satisfying than cramming highly processed foods again and again.
- Fig and Honey Rice Cakes are a sweet and savory portable snack that are simply delicious morning or afternoon.

When it comes to refuel after exercise; there are few foods that compare to the nutritional powerhouse of milk.
Emerging research in adult athletes has demonstrated that one serving of cow's milk post-exercise may help reduce muscle damage and improve muscle recovery – which in turn, may help the body perform better during its next workout.
So what happens to the body during exercise and why is recovery nutrition so important?
• When you exercise, you lose fluid in the form of sweat. The harder you exercise, the more fluid is lost. In addition to fluid, electrolytes, such as sodium and potassium, are depleted as we sweat.
• During exercise, your body relies on blood glucose and stored muscle glucose (glycogen)as fuel – or energy. This stored muscle glucose is often depleted after exercise and needs to be replaced, in the form of dietary carbohydrates.
• Lastly, during activity, muscle is broken down. While this is a natural result of strenuous activity, future athletic performance in practices and games is largely impacted by how well our muscles rebuild and resynthesize new muscle fibers after a workout. Protein aids in this recovery effort.
• Milk, both white and chocolate, provides key nutrients needed after exercise.
• Milk is 90% water and a great tasting choice after practices and games. Milk's fluids and electrolytes, including calcium, potassium and magnesium, rehydrate the body and replenish what is lost in sweat.
• Carbohydrates in milk refuel muscles and replenish glycogen (energy) stores.
• High quality protein aids in muscle recovery and repair.
• Calcium, vitamin D and phosphorus build and maintain strong bones.
• Milk provides potassium to help ward off muscle cramping.
• B vitamins in milk help convert food to energy.
For the past three years, Pedal the Plains riders have been refueling with Colorado chocolate milk provided for free by the dairy farm families of Western Dairy Association. Chocolate milk provides what many consider the "golden ratio" of carbohydrates to protein (3 to 4 grams of carbohydrate for every 1 gram of protein) necessary for optimal recovery.
Improve your post-exercise regimen by refueling with milk within 30 minutes after a workout. Visit www.westerndairyassociation.org to read more about milk as an exercise recovery beverage and learn how to eat for peak athletic performance.

If one does not know who a snuff-boy was or how his job related to stage lighting, or needs to understand the difference between motivated light and motivating light, the answers can be found in the more than 1500 detailed entries of this encyclopedia, which is ideal for students, teachers, lighting technicians, lighting designers and all others who have an interest in stage lighting. Some of the numerous topics covered are equipment, methods, concepts, design process, electricity, characteristics of light, and lightboard operations. Where applicable, entries present both the historical and current day significance of the apparatus or concept being introduced. In addition, the many areas of stage lighting that elicit debate are viewed from all angles and the various options presented. This approach will allow the reader to make a personal evaluation of the most appropriate method. Entries are extensively cross-referenced. Computer-generated line drawings and samples of lighting paperwork are included with the entries to which they relate.Among other things they have developed a chromaticity diagram that catalogs color by dominant wavelength and purity. ... In a rental house, it is common to have a house board that controls the houselights and worklights and a few stage pockets and a company switch that handles ... COMPUTER LIGHTBOARD ( operation)- They all come with an instruction manual that often runs to 1000 pages or more.

Creative Writing
My column is named Improvise, and thats exactly what Im going to do this month. I know Dean recently added the addition of Poetry 101 to jambands.com, but I feel that more non-linear writing is always fun to have around. The interviews, articles, and essays are great to read and write each month, but I just feel like doing something a little different. Improvising is going in the direction you feel is appropriate at any given time, so here goes. I hope you enjoy some old and new abstract writings and poetry.
Silly Monkeys
Water, if acted upon just right, will surely turn to wine.
People, now, want to use Bactine, instead of Iodine.
Baseball was the countrys favorite sport,
Now the Superbowl is the sports worlds high court.
Zappa and the Mothers were once all the rage,
Now folks listen to Hanson, the band that needs time to age.
Bell-bottoms were cool, then they werent, now they are,
But, as a society, have these changes brought us very far?
We still kill, rape, maim, steal, beg, cheat, deride, and lie,
So dont say we change for the better or realize we dont, and cry.
We are superficial monkeys and we change only our tops,
Truth, beauty, love, art, and music are the only consistent crops.
Heres another
Living Room
Rainforest leaves, washed by rain, watched.
Animal inhabitants brawl,
They battle to live.
Their fights are uninhibited and natural.
No controversy, just impulses-
Because they are at home.
They kill one another, but never argue,
Because, in their decreasing room,
They just live.
And heres another..
The Big Swim
As time flows and the wind goes on and on.
From here to where it started as a child, formed free..
I know the salt and the breeze, the life beginning, the screeching.
Some spirits swim in, and others soak up the serious
And life-giving ocean.
Heres another one
The Pest
He looks around, so high up there, hanging upside down, and now let's go and he's
off and humming, spinning, a blur of black
and now he needs to find his attracter so he dives into the wall of odor but there
is a huge greasy, fragrant hand moving swiftly and
air streams flowing all around, pushing his body here, there,
caught in the tidal wave of wind and cartwheeling over and over until the blast settles,
and following the light now, he can smell the freedom….
almost there, closer now, almost there and bing – boing – bong – rat – tap – tap
against the black mesh from which the freshness leaks through and
up it goes and tumbling again with the chaotic force of an ocean wave
pushing out and into the bright heat and vast freedom when he spies a snapping animal,
its mouth open, drippy tongue waggling, and lands on its back for a split second then
of the furry tail and back into the air,
but the goal has been spotted and coming down on target
the brown sphere of sweet stench
gets closer and closer until he can
feel his sticky feet touch down
into the surface with a
Mission accomplished.
And heres one final poem about music.
Dough being kneaded between the musician's fingers-
Ray of multi-dimensional light opening ears-
Me and you, all smiles as we dance to the beat-
Far away, one can still feel the pulsing bass-
So many twists, turns, and possibilities-
Lot to digest when absorbing this art-
Tea time for the heart and soul-
Don't take it for granted-
Thanks to anyone who read these poems. I truly appreciate it. If you want to share some of your poems with me or tell me what you think of mine, feel free. Its firstname.lastname@example.com See you next month.

In the Chamber's written evidence to the House
of Commons Transport Sub-Committee, it was noted that the current
Light Dues arrangements in the UK disadvantage UK ports. This
note sets out briefly a factual description of the funding arrangements
for the General Lighthouse Authorities (GLAs).
Members are referred to the last published accounts
of the General Lighthouse Fund (GLF), covering the year ended
31 March 1999 (House of Commons Paper 851 of 1999-2000).
The three General Lighthouse Authorities are
financed entirely from the GLF. The Secretary of State effectively
acts as the Trustee of the GLF, in the interests of its beneficiaries,
principally the shipping companies who make the payments and the
GLA's present and former staff, whose pensions are paid out of
the Fund. The GLF is administered by the Department of the Environment,
Transport and the Regions, but it is not public money. There are
no Treasury payments whatsoever into the Fund. Indeed, certain
administrative expenses of the Secretary of State are reimbursed
from the Fund.
To summarise the GLF income for 1998-99 was
derived from:
*The Decca Navigator service ending in March 2000 and no
payments relating to its use are now made by MoD.
The costs of the three GLAs in 1998-99 were:
** It is generally accepted that 70 per cent of CIL's expenditure

There isn't a male out there under the sun who doesn't secretly long to be better in bed, more sexually potent, or better endowed.
Giving things the old college try will only get you so far.
There are a number of male enhancement solutions and dietary supplements out there claiming to be able to help.
However, it can be difficult to determine which ones are truly worth investing in and which are just scams. That's where VigRX Plus comes in!
What can VigRx Plus do for you?
VigRX Plus is the top product on the market today and with good reason.
Based on a one-of-a-kind formula, it's capable of increasing penis size up to 30%.
It has also been proven to increase male libido and sexual performance by leaps and bounds.
What's more, VigRX Plus is an improved version of the already popular original VigRX, so it covers more bases than ever before for even more powerful results.
In addition to boosts to your overall size and your libido, VigRX Plus works to help make sex better for both you and your partner overall. Your erection will become firmer and last longer.
You'll also find that sexual pleasure in general, the amount of semen in your ejaculation, and the strength of your orgasms will be much greater than you are currently used to. It helps improve your mood overall as well!
What sets VigRX Plus apart from the competition?
The secret to the results people are seeing with VigRX Plus lies not only in the ingredients used, but in their quality, as well as the unique way they are blended together in order to deliver.
Only the highest quality and most potent herbal concentrates from South America, Europe, and China are used to give you the same level of quality men everywhere have come to trust.
Also, with the addition of the new Plus formula to the mix, this already time-tested formula works even better than before.
This is thanks to the addition of Bioperine, an additive that is expected to start taking the entire health world by storm for the way it enhances the performance of already terrific products.
How long does it take to see results?
The manufacturers of VigRX Plus recommend allowing 4-6 weeks in order to see maximum results. By then you should definitely be noticing an improvement in your size and your overall sexual experience.
However, some mean see results faster than that. As with the original formula, you do not need a prescription to try
VigRX Plus and it does not come attached to any side effects or drawbacks.

Jacob – January 17, 2018
"I have to recommend these male enhancement pills to everyone, because they really do work well. For me, there were two key benefits of choosing the formula, and the first was getting the length that I had always wanted. In addition, I was pleased to discover that using these pills helped me to last longer in bed. VigRX Plus gets a five-star review from me, because the formula caused me to increase in both width and girth, while also giving me the sort of sexual stamina that I haven't enjoyed for years. Now, I feel more confident about the appearance of my penis, as well as the way that I use it to please my partner. Overall, VigRX Plus is well worth the investment."
Joel – March 21, 2018
"Until I tried VigRX Plus, I was extremely skeptical about whether these types of male enhancement products actually worked. However, I'd read so many great reviews of this particular brand of male enhancement pill, that I was basically sure that this formula was quite a bit different from the rest. After a few weeks of treatment with these affordable pills, I started to notice some very welcome changes to the look of my penis. I gained an inch in length by week 6, which was absolutely awesome. My girlfriend, who claimed in the past that "size doesn't matter", also noticed the change and she seemed really happy about my longer penis length. She also told me that my sexual performance is more vigorous and passionate since I've been using the product."
Steve – March 07, 2018
"My libido has skyrocketed since I started using VigRX Plus. Before, I would find that loss of desire was taking a toll on my relationship with my long-time love. Now, I'm re-experiencing lust on a whole new level. I think the way that I feel about sex right now is more positive because my penis has grown almost one inch while I've been using the formula."

U.S. Conference of Mayors presents Mayor John Giles with Small Business Advocate Award
- Lead Mesa Mayor John Giles received the U.S. Conference of Mayors, Partner America 2017 Small Business Advocate Award for his efforts and support of small business in the city.
Mesa Mayor John Giles received the U.S. Conference of Mayors, Partner America 2017 "Small Business Advocate Award" for his efforts and support of small business in the city. This special event took place this morning at a small business gathering at the D-Lab Alley in Mesa. The award is given by Partner America, a public-private partnership that was created by The U.S. Conference of Mayors, to assist mayors in providing the resources and information small businesses need to thrive within their local communities and the global economy.
Along with Mayor Giles, the Mesa Office of Economic Development and the Mesa Chamber of Commerce discussed local programs and resources available to small business owners.
Mayor Giles highlighted the success of Mesa's LAUNCHPIONT buisness incubator that recently moved downtown and THINKspot collaborative workspace at Red Mountain Library.
"We are honored to receive this award but more importantly to have so many successful small businesses in the City of Mesa. They are the heartbeat of the City's economy. This is a great event for small business owners to learn even more about what tools the City and our partners have to help them grow and prosper," Mayor John Giles said.
The keynote speaker was Curtis Cello, Director of Field Service for American Management Services, Inc. Cello delivered his perspective on "Growth in a New Business Climate." Few people have made as many face to face contacts with business owners across the nation as he has over the last decade. Through this experience, Cello has gained a unique understanding of the challenges facing owners in today's business climate. He is a strong advocate for small business owners, and a driving force in the Partner America initiative, which seeks to help small business owners understand how to overcome common challenges and improve sales, operations and profitability.

June 25 2008
Whether it's severe tropical storms, wildfires, floods, tornadoes, or earthquakes,
natural disasters seem to be blanketing the news. In recent weeks, across the United
States, people have been forced to evacuate their homes due to flooding and wildfires
-- while tornadoes have damaged the homes of still more families.
While some people need to leave their homes after a natural disaster because their
homes have been damaged to the point where they have become unsafe, others are given
notice to leave before the disaster strikes. In either case, there is a only a limited
amount of time to get what is needed and get to safety.
"The amount of time you have to leave will depend on the hazard. If the event
is a weather condition, such as a hurricane that can be monitored, you might have
a day or two to get ready. However, many disasters allow no time for people to gather
even the most basic necessities, which is why planning ahead is essential. Evacuations
are more common than many people realize. Hundreds of times each year, transportation
and industrial accidents release harmful substances, forcing thousands of people
to leave their homes. Fires and floods cause evacuations even more frequently. Almost
every year, people along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts evacuate in the face of approaching
With an impending hurricane, people can be given a couple of days before they need
to be safely away. When wildfires strike or there is the possibility of flooding,
there are those who are given minutes to flee their homes, and others who are warned
in advance that danger may be coming their way.
Knowing what to expect ahead of time can make it easier to navigate through the
last minute rush.
"If a wildfire is in your area and authorities ask you to evacuate due to a
impending danger, the American Red Cross recommends several steps to make the evacuation
process as safe and comfortable as possible:
If advised to evacuate, do so immediately! You may have only minutes to act.
Protect yourself and your family members.
Wear protective clothing: Sturdy shoes, cotton or woolen long pants and a long-sleeved
shirt to protect your skin from hot embers, and gloves. Take a dry handkerchief
to protect your face. Smoke can make it difficult to breathe, damaging breathing
passages or triggering respiratory distress.
Take your Disaster Supplies Kit. Having items such as prescription medications,
copies of identification and important paperwork, non-perishable food, bottled water
and a supply of cash already assembled will make you more comfortable and confident
while you are away from home.
Take your pets with you. Don't leave pets behind.
Lock your home. Others may evacuate after you or return before you. Secure your
house as you normally would.
Tell someone outside of the wildfire area where you are going. Relatives and
friends will be concerned about your safety. Letting someone know your travel plans
will help relieve their anxiety.
Follow the route and directions provided by officials in charge of the evacuation.
It's important that you do not detour from the route provided by officials -- it
is the safest route!"
Montana Red Cross
Officials who are watching the roads -- and in communication with each other --
can determine the safest routes with the awareness of which routes are not obstructed
by water, fallen trees, or other hazards. As a result, the evacuation routes may
not be the routes that the evacuees would have chosen.
While it may be tempting to take alternate routes, back roads, or roads that appear
less crowded, drivers may find these roads dangerous -- or worse, they could find
themselves trapped on a road that blocked by hazards or has been completely destroyed
and/ or given way.
As tempting as it may be, crossing roads that are covered in water can be a fatal
"Almost half of all flash flood fatalities occur in vehicles. Contrary to popular
belief, many people don't realize two feet of water on a bridge or highway can float
most vehicles. If the water is moving rapidly, the car, truck, or SUV can be swept
off the bridge and into the creek. Water can erode the road bed, creating unsafe
driving conditions. Underpasses can fill rapidly with water, while the adjacent
roadway remains clear. Driving into a flooded underpass can quickly put you in five
to six feet of water. Many flash floods occur at night when flooded roads are difficult
to see. When you approach a flooded road, TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN!"
When asked to evacuate, the stress of the situation -- and the limited amount of
time that an evacuee is given -- can make it difficult to remember all that needs
to be done and brought at that moment. Planning ahead and being prepared can also
reduce the stress that is sure to abound when a family is asked to leave their home
with just minutes of warning.
Before a threat is imminent, it is important to:
"Identify ahead of time where you could go if you are told to evacuate. Choose
several places--a friend's home in another town, a motel, or a shelter.
Keep handy the telephone numbers of these places as well as a road map of your
locality. You may need to take alternative or unfamiliar routes if major roads are
closed or clogged.
Listen to NOAA Weather Radio or local radio or TV stations for evacuation instructions.
If advised to evacuate, do so immediately."
Whether preparing for flooding, fires, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, or any
other possible disaster, there are some things that all people can do "just
in case."
"There are six basics you should stock for your home: water, food, first aid
supplies, clothing and bedding, tools and emergency supplies, and special items.
Keep the items that you would most likely need during an evacuation in an easy-to
carry container.... Possible containers include a large, covered trash container,
a camping backpack, or a duffle bag."
A detailed list of what people should have in their homes in the event of an emergency
can be found at the above site.
There is also an abbreviated list of what people should have ready in case they
need to evacuate.
"Assemble a Disaster Supplies Kit Containing . . .
First aid kit and essential medications.
Canned food and can opener.
At least three gallons of water per person
Protective clothing, rainwear, and bedding or sleeping bags.
Battery-powered radio, flashlight, and extra batteries.
Special items for infants, elderly, or disabled family members.
Written instructions for how to turn off electricity, gas and water if authorities
advise you to do so. (Remember, you'll need a professional to turn them back
Questions of the Week:
What natural disasters can affect those in your part of the country? What should
your family have prepared in case you need to evacuate? In what ways can preparing
ahead of time make it easier for your family if an evacuation is ordered? What do
you think your family, friends, and peers know about preparing for a possible natural
disaster? What should they know? What do you think would be the best way to reach
those you know with the information they need?
