I've become a regular client.
Dima is very reliable and hard-working :D
- check_circleVerified
This is the second time that I've asked to Dima for bass rec. I enjoy working with him. He is really nice, clear, cool revisions and very easy to work with :)
- check_circleVerified
Dima is a professional bass player and have lot of patience.
The whole process has been smooth with very clear communication. In addition, he never had any complaints, although I make him annoying and many requests. I have no hesitation in recommending him.
I really take my hat off to him for your sincere efforts and working with him again!
It was pretty awesome exp! Just be yourself, go to Old Factory and all your dreams comes true. Enjoy the atmosphere of this place and really hard-working with Dima. Together you can find your own sound and use it with a great pleasure for all of your songs=)
Working with Dima was a great experience for our band. He is not only a big professional, but also very cool guy ;) his studio is so impressive, and you can achieve brilliant sound here. Really :) And, buy the way, he is not only recording you - when you're playing or singing, he can give you advices which help to make your play better.
Great sound, professional audio engineer, high-quality instruments. That's all you need and you can find it at Dima's "Old Factory" studio. Our band recommends it to every musician who wants to get a top result.
Just recorded a new EP, and we are extremely happy with the result and totally recommend the "Old Factory"! Dima is a really competent, highly-experienced, and what is most important for beginners, very friendly and ready to help, give some advice or even help out with recording back-vocals.
High-quality professional recording equipment, reasonable price, competent, experienced, friendly record producer, great atmosphere ( we really enjoyed working there). The studio is located not far from subway. We definitely recommend recording at Old factory studio.
Interview with Dima B / Old Factory Studio
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: This question forces me to chose a client and make him look like he is more special than others what is definitely not true and I don't want to lie to you. Even a choice for a one song for this portfolio was dramatically difficult for me.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I'm writing this answers obviously.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Nobody now. I hope this situation will change.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: Make the job.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I can become part of something bigger than myself, something amazing.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: I can't remember something specific what everybody asks permanently.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: Lots of young musician think that an audio engineer is the a guy who "makes sound". They think mix is a static sculpture. Put plugins in slots and that's it. And even young engineers think something like this, in my country at least.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: I've been spending a lot of time to make my position and approach clear in my studio blog because it's easy to work with people who know what you standing for. I always recommend to read it but it doesn't work here. The blog is in Russian. So just read what I wrote in this interview. It's honest and clear. I hope it helps you.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: As a mixing engineer I cut a lot. And then I boost a lot. Don't use compressors for dynamics control usually so my mixes have lots of automation, especially on vocals. As a bass player I prefer fundamental parts. I can play very fast, I've played progressive and technical genres, but I always feel lack of something fundamental when it comes to bass "shredding".
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I really don't know. You can think it's a miracle but I've very rarely seen artists who I don't like in my studio. So there is no such dream like "I want to work with this starname!", my clients are the stars for me already. I'm serious.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What do you want? No so many people can answer this question. And if somebody doesn't know what they want they don't get it obviously. If we formalize what we actually want we make 50% of job.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: SM57, and I have 5 of them actually.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: Almost 30 years, since I was 7 and started my musical education from bayan (Russian button accordion). And I am a studio owner now.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Always edit drums before you start to record all another instruments.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I'm very careful about mics position and recording chain. Yes, modern mixes are heavily processed usually but good raw tracks is 80% of success. So I try to achieve the best quality what artist and equipment can produce in the first place. At the mixing stage I prefer to make a mixing plan before I start. I always make checking, editing, triggering and cutting first so when it comes to the mixing I know the song well enough and I know what I'm gonna do. I write a plan (lots of old scores from musicians are very useful) and make lots of notes what I do and where.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I'm an almost ITB guy now. I have a collection of preamps, mics and some another gear for recording but after signal was captured I rarely use outboard devices except for tracks what was made in another studios.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both. And the answer to "why" is too long.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Rock, pop.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Patience.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: A song can't be boring. It has to touch something in our minds. I try to understand what clients want to share with listeners and enhance it.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: This list will be too long.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Recording. I'm a recording studio owner so It's what I do for my local clients usually.

Jelly Roll Race Remix for Moda Bake Shop
Yes, my second Christmas quilt for July! I guess I was feeling ambitious! I need to get this one basted/quilted yet, should get the basting done in the next day or two though.
I did another variation of the project done with a jelly roll of Half Moon black/white prints and 20 strips of white and 20 strips of black. The Half Moon had duplicates of 20 prints, so I divided them in half and made 2 tops with 20 prints, 10 white, and 10 black strips. Anyhow, I can't for the life of me find the pictures I took of those! I will have to hunt some more - and if I can't find them, I'll have to work up some EQ drawings I guess.

Today, ICS Learn is the only CIPD Approved Centre to offer the full range of CIPD qualifications.
United Kingdom (PRWEB UK) 9 October 2015
A recent report has indicated that over-qualification has reached "saturation point", with more than half of all UK graduates working in roles that do not require a degree.
The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) report showed that around 58.8% of those coming out of university are currently working in roles that are not designed for graduates and do not require a degree, and that the number of university graduates has now "significantly outstripped" the number of highly-skilled jobs being created. The CIPD has said that this should act as a warning about the career path we encourage young people to follow.
Chief executive of the CIPD, Peter Cheese said:
"The assumption that we will transition to a more productive, higher-value, higher-skilled economy just by increasing the conveyor belt of graduates is proven to be flawed."
The report unveiled that mass-production of graduates is creating problems, including for employers who ask that applicants have degrees for roles traditionally filled by non-graduates - even though there has been no changes to the skills required for the role.
The result is that graduates are now replacing non-graduates in jobs where there was previously no demand for graduate skills. This has been particularly evident in the construction sector, where apprenticeships are the traditional route into the industry.
The report highlighted two areas for development. First, that more high-skilled jobs must be generated to prevent graduates skills being "simply wasted", and secondly that it may be a better choice for young people to pursue an apprenticeship or some other form of non-university education.
A spokesman for the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills said:
"We are providing the right mix of university places and apprenticeships to ensure more people have the opportunity to advance their careers and businesses to get the skills they need to grow."
The CIPD has also produced a guide - "Great expectations: a careers guide for parents" - in order to help both parents and young people understand the different routes into a successful career and different learning and training options available to them.
If you are considering an alternative route to getting the career you want, you should consider online learning with ICS Learn.

This new edition of Bindra's authoritative treatise on Interpretation of Statutes foregrounds the factual circumstances within which interpretational principles operate. It continually alerts the reader on the diversity of judicial choice whilst contextually explaining the decisions courts have made in the cases included in the current revision period. This edition elaborates on current day developments in the realm of interpretation along with consciously protecting the integrity of the original work. Thus whilst the manner in which courts use the canons to fathom legislative intention is centrally documented, the activist makeover of the courts has also been interstitially recorded. This revised edition accords to contemporary relevance of the book without losing its v intage fl avour.

Island pets were celebrated Saturday, Oct. 4, with a special pet blessing at St. Martin-in-the-Field Episcopal Church on Baseline Road.
Dogs, gerbils and a cat were blessed by the Rev. Earle King of St. Martin-in-the-Field Episcopal Church, who asked God to "fill the hearts of its owners with thanksgiving or its being."
Participants in the pet blessing made pet food donations as part of the event. Pet food drive organizer Paula Macrides organized the third annual ceremony. She said donated food goes to a local collection site, Fishers Friends Dog Daycare, to help a non-profit organization called Pets of the Homeless (www.petsofthehomeless.org). Homeless people with pets have been known to give what little food they have to their pets rather than eat it themselves. "The food is distributed for homeless right in the Buffalo area," Macrides said.
Before blessing the pets, King prayed, "Almighty God, all living creatures you have put under our protection and we are to care for them as you care for us. Mindful of the great responsibility you have placed upon us, we now renew our covenant with these creatures in our care, and pray that we may be faithful to them as you are faithful to us."
The pet blessing is held annually on the Saturday closest to the Feast of St. Francis, which this year happened to fall on Oct. 4.
King said St. Francis, the patron saint of animals, started the Order of Franciscans and was known as a man who took a vow of absolute poverty and gave up all earthly possessions.
"He famously said, 'Share the good news of Jesus Christ at all times, using words when necessary,' " King said.
Those who could not attend the Saturday event can call St. Martin's at 716-773-3335 to set up a drop-off of pet food, Macrides said.

453 illnesses and five deaths have now been linked to a salmonella outbreak that is believed to have been caused by peanut butter and peanut paste. The brand of peanut butter that tested positive for salmonella in Minnesota and has been connected to the nationwide outbreak, has been voluntarily recalled by its distributor, King Nut Companies of Solon, Ohio. The five pound tubs of creamy peanut butter are not manufactured by King Nut but are made for the company by the Peanut Corporation of America in Lynchburg, Va.
Peanut butter paste manufactured by Peanut Corporation, is also used in peanu butter crackers and peanut butter cracker sandwiches sold by Kellogg Company, under the Keebler and Austin names.
Anyone who suffers symptoms after eating these products should report this to their local health department and should seek immediate medical treatment. It is critical to tell your doctor that you ate one of those products and ask to be tested for salmonella exposure.
If you, or someone you know, has suffered illness after eating peanut butter products, contact our offices at (866) 735-1102 Ext 515 or visit our web site: http://www.smithvanture.com/KingNut/index.html

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
for the snow ...
Bought for some extra protection on the slopes following shoulder surgery. Fits great [L, I'm 5'11, 185] snug but not restricting. Was worried backplate would feel cumbersome - it doesn't. I cut off the sleeves below the elbow as I don't need/want those pads.
Not too bulky
I was afraid I would look like a robot in this thing. It is actually slim enough to fit underneath my tshirt. It has lots of mesh material so it breathes well. At first I thought the fit was too tight, but after a few rides I realized that the tighter, the better. As long as it zips up, you're good. I haven't had to test out the actual protection ability of any of the armor, but that's a good thing .... I certainly feel more comfortable bombing down hills, knowing that if I take a spill I have a little extra protection. I'm not an insane rider, but I don't want to break a wrist or elbow ... This is the perfect piece to cover your upper body. Just get some knee pads and you're good to go!
Saved me some skin loss
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
So I'm new to downhill. I need protection. At my age it's better safe than sorry when trying a new sport.
This saved my ass from a beating at Keystone recently. I actually got up, laughed brushed the dust off and carried on with my descent after a dive over the front of my bike. Although I'm only a newbie this did what it said on the description, if you're going harder you may need the next model up. The plastic on the shoulder got scratched from my bail but is obviously ready for more. I also noted that the rental store had these in as their standard protection so I'm happy to be using this. Now I just need a bomb proof layer to go over it as what I was wearing got shredded.
Tools not jewels. Enjoy
how much give in the waist section of the 661 comp pressure suit ? do i need a larger size having a bit of a gut ?
The give would be withing the waist size range. For example The XXL is sized at 42"-44" that would be the amount of give it would have. However, I would venture to say that i would give an extra half inch on either side of the sizing chart.

OUSA Youth Initiatives
Topic created by Sandy on Tue Oct 10, 2017 at 11:02 am

Primary Club: DVOA
Fav map: Hickory Run 1:15000
First O: 1993
I don't know how many of you subscribe ot USOFClubnet - the yahoo group that distributes orienteering related information. It's open to anyone; you do not need to be an OUSA member to subscribe. (Orienteering USA or OUSA used to be the US Orienteering Federation or USOF). Anyway, this recent USOFClubnet post is important enough that I think it deserves to be re-posted here.
Just recently I was contacted by a PA school district interested in adding orienteering to its PE curriculum. It would be so great to be able to send them lesson plans or videos or tell them how their teachers could get continuing ed credits for learning orienteering. Anyway, if you're interested please join the group. And if you're interested in representing DVOA in the group, please let Nancy Sharp (President) or Nate Ohrwaschel (OUSA board member) know.
Dear OUSA clubs,Thank you to those who have responded with contacts for club members. I am still seeking contacts for most clubs. At the bottom of this message is a list of clubs for whom I do have contacts. There is a new email/discussion group for Youth Initiatives, https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ousa-youth -- if you go to that link you should be able to request to join. If you are on that group, please make sure that your email reader is set up so that you see messages sent to that group. Board members, feel free to join if you like. Anyone interested in youth orienteering is welcome to join; the intent is to have an open conversation while being sure to reach all clubs.One of OUSA's priorities is to grow the sport through youth participation. We are currently collecting feedback on how OUSA can best spend money toward this goal.It's important to make a distinction between the national junior team, and broader youth initiatives to bring more kids into the sport. It is the latter that I will be focusing on in my role, and that I'd like to discuss with the community in terms of funding possibilities. Here are some of the ideas that I have heard so far; I'd like to hear more, and I'd like your thoughts on how much value (in terms of expanding participation) we will get for a dollar spent in each area:
Ultimately, it may be that Youth Initiatives receives some amount of money in the budget, with flexibility and discretion to spend it on things that come up during the year and seem likely to give good value. In other words, we may not need to decide now in detail how every dollar would be spent; however, it would be very useful to know from you your suggestions for how to spend that money, should it come to exist.A few words on the junior team - which is under the supervision of the VP of Competition (Alex Jospe): Thanks to national coach Erin Schirm, and the donor who has funded his position for the past few years, there is a strong program at the national level open to any junior meeting certain criteria. In 2018, for the first time, OUSA will help support the junior coaching position (in the past few years, it has been entirely supported by a donor). Also for the first time, the coaching work will be split between Erin and another part-time coach, and I anticipate a new uptick in activity and ideas from that collaboration. As a Board member, I will also be advocating for restoration of the junior team funds to support this very active team as they travel for training and competition. However, again, these national team projects are separate from the broader junior initiatives that OUSA can now turn its attention to.Finally, here is the list of clubs from whom I have received information for a contact person for youth matters:Arctic O ClubCascade O ClubCambridge Sports UnionGeorgia O ClubGreater Phoenix O ClubHudson Valley OrienteersMinnesota O ClubNew England O ClubNavigation GamesOCINOrienteering LouisvilleSuncoast OrienteeringWestern Connecticut O ClubPlease help me get contacts for the remaining clubs.
- Development of lesson plans for PE classes, after-school classes, one-hour introductions, youth activities at club meets, and other formats. There is a lot of material out there, but we are hearing that busy teachers and club members do not have a lot of time to do research and would appreciate being handed a set of instructions tailored for their teaching/coaching situation.
- Start-up kits for sale or rent for clubs and schools: manual or electronic punching equipment, materials for specific activities, plus lesson plans, for a 2-week PE unit, tailored to one of these grade level groups: preschoolers, K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12.
- Flyers to be sent to administrators, PE teachers and coaches, about orienteering, including local club contacts and a separate letter with schedule.
- Posters
- 2- or 3-month internship to travel to different cities, be hosted by clubs, and help jump start an increased youth program in the club. (Similar to the program decades ago when a European couple came to the USA and helped start local clubs.)
- Presence at conferences relating to physical education, health and wellness for children, such as MA-HPRED. This could be in the form of grants for local club members who attend, and financial support for printing flyers and other materials.
- Development of a workshop for which teachers could get required continuing learning credit, and payment for the person who teaches it, if required.
- Paid administrative support to maintain regular contact with all clubs around youth activities, and/or ensure a strong social media presence for OUSA and individual club youth activities, and/or maintain communications among a network of local teachers and coaches.
- Development of a marketplace of goods and services, both free and paid, in support of youth orienteering.
- A resource for quick and inexpensive creation of adequate maps for schools to use, so that this is not a barrier to entry. This could be a combination of people willing to help a school for free or pay, basic maps of an entire region, and so on. A database of existing maps would be helpful.
- Financial support for Clare Durand's new patch program, if needed.
- Grant-writing support for clubs interested in starting a program with schools or a summer camp program or other youth initiative

As similarly tabbed (to be read, nearly copied exactly) by bigmadhabib who really did do some great work, and really all the leg work and deserves all the credit. The only differences are the placement of the chords with the lyrics. In this song, Waits places the vowels of his words on the chord changes. The chord changes also drop between the lines sometimes when he is not singing so I threw those over hanging at the ends of the lines rather than at the beginning of the lyric where Waits would otherwise already be singing. It feels as though it is easier to sight read if you will. bigmadhabib says, "The chords are generally played with a bass line playing the tonic note and the note a fourth down on 1 and 3. The Fm chord is started by sliding up to the 8th fret on the A string. Enjoy." Upon doing so you really get that feel that Waits, Ribot and Taylor create. Good to note, well done bigmadhabib. One may find this song easier to play if tuned down a half step, and then playing everything up a half step to get an Ab in the common position of A, and also to get the fourth down from the Ab's tonic, your Eb. Waits does from, time to time, tune down a half step. Great song, great fun and again, big shout-out to bigmadhabib. I hope you don't mind my touch ups to your tab. You really deserve the credit.

Things Couples Do in the Jungle
At first, they are silent. They look around trying hard to comprehend the meaning of the word "green." Here, in the Costa Rican jungle, nothing is just Olive, or Army Green, or Bottle Green. Nuh-uh. That's too easy. Here, green is a thing. It's heavy and wet and ubiquitous. And like all inescapable things, Green is terrifyingly vast. It hugs you first thing in the morning as soon as you look out your window and it lays with you in bed, all damp, mossy, and clingy, like a needy lover.
The color green, surely, was born and given a name in the jungle. A tree is Fern Green, which is not the same as Laurel Green. The stem of a budding plant is Mantis Green, which is different from Myrtle Green. Pine Green. Sap Green. India Green. Brunswick Green. None of which should be confused with Spanish Green, Sea Green, Jade Green, Harlequin Green or even Yellow Green. If the couple were to spend one year in Costa Rica per each hue of green they find, they'd be here many more lifetimes.
They say, Look, Look, like children do. That's the thing about this jungle. It makes them go back to their childhoods. It puts them in a state of constant wonderment. Here, they no longer are husband and wife: they are two children exploring a fantastic world of living creatures, giant trees, and aerial roots. Can I touch this? Can I walk there? What is this? Does it bite? Is it venomous? Is it poisonous? What happens if...? Is it true that...? Can I eat it? In this jungle, it is okay to ask questions, to ponder, to speculate, to photograph everything from different angles, to jot down notes so that they don't forget the names of the things they see. They collect river pebbles and dry leaves. They tiptoe their way around a sloth, whisper in the presence of a toucan, use sign language if they spot a lizard, hold their breath as they look at the crocodiles in the water. A type of reverence needs to be paid here. They both know this. They've been together many years. They know the godliness of beauty: they have seen it in each other.
They embrace inside a tree, because it's raining, the howling monkeys are making terrifying calls, the lightning is of apocalyptic proportions, and because she is frightened. (He is too, a little, only he wouldn't admit it.) Thunderous bolts of blinding light hit nearby. They count. One, two, three. Too close for comfort. They haven't seen anyone in hours and they are deep in the woods. It was sunny when they started their jungle walk; they don't have umbrellas, rain jackets, proper boots, or water, or food, or telephones. They are alone in a jungle downpour, the sound of which is nowhere near as soothing as the Nature Sounds tracks yoga teachers listen to. It sounds like the crust of the earth is cracking beneath their feet, like some ancient dragon has just woken up after centuries of hibernation and he is not happy. They find a Ceiba tree--a towering leviathan--whose colossal trunk has been carved out by the elements. They dive into each other's arms, shaking from cold and fear.
So, this is how we die, she thinks.
This is fantastic, he thinks.
But they don't say anything. They hold each other inside the belly of the tree and together, they wait for the sun.

Dozens of mythologies and religions around the world consider trees sacred. Buddha, after achieving enlightenment, sat under a banyan tree for seven days. In the Garden of Eden, the two most important plants were the tree of life, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. In Celtic mythology, trees were of vital importance to Druids, for whom the oak was one of the most sacred objects.
Nowadays, trees have largely lost their spiritual value, gaining a financial one instead. Apart from their long-established importance to several industries, trees and farmlands have emerged as an interesting way for institutional investors to tap uncorrelated returns.
Richard Davidson, who is the lead fund manager of the Gresham House Forestry fund, as well as the chair of the investment committee of its forestry management subsidiary, Aitchesse, found the Sitka spruce species especially interesting, just like the Native American tribe Hopi, for whom spruce is still a holy tree.
Aitchesse has around £200 million of assets under management invested in the Sitka spruce forests in the UK on behalf of endowments and other institutions.
'If you're investing in a forestry fund, it's actually not that dissimilar from a lot of other, real estate-type assets,' Davidson explains.
'You would use a DCF approach to value the assets: look at the cash flows, which come when you sell the timber; look at the costs, which include buying a land and establishing the forest; and you look at the liquidity that is available on the market to buy and sell forests.'
The Sitka spruce grows quickly compared with other trees: a full-cycle takes 35-40 years. Its financial appeal is now so large that today one out of every two trees that grow in the UK are the Alaskan-native conifers. 200 years ago, there were none.
Choosing the best approach
Investors can access forestry assets through various investment vehicles, usually choosing private equity funds or partnerships, such as the Gresham's fund (which utilises a Scottish Limited Partnership structure).
Among the pension funds which have invested in forestry, the majority chose private equity funds. Flintshire, a UK Local authority pension fund, has £27.5 million invested across several timber funds, including £4.5 million with BTG Pactual Select Timberland Resources Fund II and £5.7 million with Stafford International Timberland IV Fund. Also Essex, another Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) invested with Stafford, putting £77 million into two of Stafford's timber funds.
Suffolk LGPS invested £6.9 billion with Brookfield Timberlands Fund V L.P., which is a US$1 billion PE fund investing primarily in timberlands in the US, Brazil and Australia.
However, London Pension Fund Authority has taken a different approach to the asset class: the LGPS invested more than £7 million with Phaunos Timber fund, which is a fund of funds listed on the London Stock Exchange.
Outside the UK, Australia's Care Superannuation fund also invested in Stafford, with its International Timberland VI fund, whereas €36 billion Ilmarinen, which is Finland's oldest pension and insurance group, has exposure to several forestry strategies, including two Dasos Timberland funds.
However, there are also other opportunities. Swiss asset manager Pictet runs the thematic equity fund, which invests in listed securities exposed to forestry and timber. Gabriel Micheli, one of the co-managers of the €1.2 billion Pictet-Timber fund, argues that this approach is in some regard better than private equity.
'Investing in forest-related listed equities means you can get better forests for a cheaper price because listed companies still have a discount to private equity values. On top of that, you usually have a better forest because these companies own forests that have been managed for decades and usually they have only kept the best ones. I believe that the diversification is also stronger in this case.'
However, investing in the thematic equity fund also means there is an equity risk premium as well as volatility.
Pathways to returns
Micheli points out that there are specific factors that influence his thematic fund.
'Of course we tend to follow the equity market but we have very specific drivers: the first one is the housing market, mainly in the US, the second is the consumption growth in emerging markets, especially China (hygiene products), and the third one is the overall economic environment, which impacts industries such as packaging.'
In the case of private equity forestry strategies, income and risk are driven by different factors. In the case of Gresham's fund, these might be: increase in land values, pulp and chip wood production or bar production for panel products. However, by far the largest chunk of income comes from selling sawlogs for timber, which in the case of Sitka spruce, is responsible for 65% of returns.
'There are financial risks and biological risks. Timber prices might go down, the cost of operations can go up, such as building roads, buying young trees, building fences. The third risk would be if the favourable tax treatment, which we have now in forestry in the UK, were to change.'
However, Richard Davidson, who is also chairman of the University of Edinburgh Endowment fund, says that the volatility of timber prices can be managed within his fund.
'The good thing about timber is that it's not like wheat or barley or any other agricultural crop, meaning you don't have to harvest it at a certain time. The tree just continues to grow for up to 200 years. So if you don't like the price today, and you've got enough cash to pay the bills, then you can leave the trees to grow for another year or two.
'And when you do come to harvest, there's more timber there. Because the trees just get taller and broader every year.'

Mirth of Forth Comedy ran a show as part of The Free Fringe during the Edinburgh Fringe again this year, after running a successful comedy showcase in 2010. Richard Pulsford and master-knitter Elaine Devlin teamed up for a show called:
"Elaine is tired. Richard is emotional. Between them they are overrun by six kids under five years old whom they blame for all life's problems, which is frankly, childish of them. But that's funnier than pretending that parenting is fulfilling."
The venue for the show was THE SOUTHSIDER pub, 3 – 7 West Richmond Street, Edinburgh EH8 9EF (VENUE 148).
Shows ran daily at 12:55 from SATURDAY 6TH to SATURDAY 13TH AUGUST 2011.
Funny's Funny finalist 2011 Eleanor Morton filled the guest slot for the first 5 days, before Derek Methven took a turn, then Fife stand-up comedian of the Year act 2011, The Sensational Alex Salmond Band was the guest for the final 2 days.

Changes announced to Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) options
Millions of small businesses will now be able to offer HRAs for health insurance premiums to their employees
COLDWATER, MI – December 20, 2016
On December 14, 2016, President Obama signed H.R. 34, modifying or adding provisions for health care and spending plans. These include the 21st Century Cures Act and the Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) provision for eligible small employers. The new HRA provision allows eligible small employers to offer HRAs to their employees that are solely funded by the employer and can be used to pay for health insurance premiums.
This new law will now include millions of small employers that weren't previously able to use an HRA to reimburse employees for health insurance premiums, due to restrictions under the Affordable Care Act. Infinisource Benefit Services offers HRA administration for employers of all sizes and is equipped to handle requests from these companies that are now able to offer this option.
The HRA provision allows employers who meet certain criteria to offer an HRA to their employees in lieu of offering their own health plan. The company must:
• Have fewer than 50 full-time employees
• Not offer a group health plan
• Provide the HRA on the same terms to all eligible employees
Maximum reimbursement allowed under the plan for eligible small employers is $4,950 for individuals and $10,000 for families. The provision will go into effect for plans beginning after December 31, 2016.
"This new provision will be a significant new option for small employers who previously had more restrictions around offering HRAs to their employees," said Jody Oliver, president and CEO of Infinisource Benefit Services. "An HRA can reduce some of the burden on small employers while covering insurance premiums and out-of-pocket medical expenses for employees."
An HRA benefits employers and employees because qualified coverage and payments are excluded from gross income, leading to significant tax savings. HRA administration is just one of the offerings from Infinisource Benefit Services, and this exciting benefit option is helpful for small employers.
About Infinisource Benefit Services
Infinisource Benefit Services has been a leader in the COBRA and benefits administration industry since it started in 1986. Over the past 30 years, Infinisource Benefit Services has grown and expanded to include administration for COBRA, Flexible Spending Accounts, Health Savings Accounts and Health Reimbursement Arrangements.

We worked with the incredibly talented scientists at Pulmocide, to translate the evidence and data behind their unique approach to inhaled anti-infectives into something visual.
Pulmocide have overcome the technical challenges of creating targeted and long-lasting, inhaled anti-infective medicines. They have done this through a deep understanding of the properties of lung epithelium, and a desire to improve quality of life in vulnerable patients who experience the unpleasant side effects of current systemic treatments.
First, we worked closely with the company's management team to understand the heritage and unique positioning of Pulmocide's offering, and developed a more appropriate brand platform and visual identity to help us tell their scientific story. Then, by understanding the technical details of Pulmocide's drug development platform and using data from their pre-clinical studies, we were able to structure infographics and website content that explains who Pulmocide are, why their approach to inhaled medicines is beneficial, and the clinical impact that these medicines could have.

I like my iPhone 5S. I always visit clients which are mainly not poor people: businessmen, heads of various offices, sometimes officials. Until recently, I was a regular user of the push-button phone and I was satisfied. It was comfortable to write message and don´t´ look on the phone as I always driving. No need to charge these phones often, they are good after rough handling and no problem with them in the winter. And they are with 2 SIM cards what were necessary for me.
go site The problem is that all my clients have iPhone. And at one moment I realized that I needed surely last model iPhone. Then it was 4s, after I have bought 5 and now it´s 5s. Yesterday I saw new gold "S" in the hands of my client.
Work off time I communicate with friends. That´s good I have a lot of friends and all are different. They all work in different places: they are factory workers, programmers, designers, researchers, sellers, businessmen, lawyers … and others. So, the vast majority of smartphones on Android, there are people with flagships from Samsung. Some have button telephones, some WP. Only my colleagues´ lawyers have iPhone. One day I decided to ask my friends a question like "why they don´t use iPhone?" The answers I've heard were very different, but the general idea is: "I don´t need it".

...and many thanks to Rae & Spike for this:
As you can imagine, it comes in extremely useful during my various extra-curricular recreational pursuits. We tested it out in the kitchen on my b/day, but it wasn't until I out-sourced it to the pocket-universe known as 1973 (Le Garage Hermetique de Jerry Cornelius) that it really came into it's own. Used in tandem w/ Dolphin Lamp v 2.0 and the Electrical Crucifixion Tableau that I rescued from a Russian Orthodox Church in Brstol a few years ago, it can induce a state of Zen Satori w/in 3.6 seconds. Faster if narcotics are involved.
Obviously, it's perfect for traditional 70's dance-floor fare, as well as more contemporary examples such Madonna's "Hung Up"...buuuut, it also works beautifully w/ more, shall we say, pyschedelic material...I'm particularly enjoying it in tandem w/ the deluxe 4-LP vinyl box-set of Acid Mother Temple's "Univers Zen ou de Zero a Zero": the lights seem to work equally well w/ the more mellow accoustic stuff, as well as the Acid-Rock freak-outs. The easy-access switch means I can cut the lights in perfectly (and w/ no fuss) on Duul's "Apocalyptic Bore" just as the lyrics hit the line "...Alwaaaaaays our minds were locked! Yeaaaaaah!" and kick back to play some flailing air-guitar as John Weinzierl's synapse-shredding gtr-solo kicks in.
Ah, this is the life.
Gutterbreakz will probably be horrified to hear that the disco-lites also get a good caning on the stonkin' gert Vex'd rmx of Toasty's "The Knowledge". You wouldn't think so, but somehow it just seems to work. You'd think that Dub-step would be better suited to lighting-fx that're a bit more, er, dystopian, wouldn't you? To be honest, it's a bit bloody expensive getting a row of malfunctioning sodium street-lites put in the garage, plus a faux massage-parlour frontage (my favourite's the one on Stokes Croft...) complete w/ fiztzing red neon-sign, and some dry-ice that smells of sewage, just so I can play the new Skream twelve.
The next purchase for 1973 will probably be, no shit, an oil-drop projector.
Thanks for the light, guys. And also the bags of parsnips; we made a really great soup with them.

Michelle and Dan, after six years of dating and having a beautiful daughter together, tied the knot yesterday in Crested Butte. The pair exchanged vows at Rainbow Park with a beautiful backdrop the Crested Butte mountains. During the ceremony, Dan gifted their daughter a ring to wear around her neck to signify the day, a gesture that brought a tear to Michelle's eyes. Poems were read and the officiant gave the couple some lovely advice. After the ceremony, it was time for the fun to begin - and boy to these two know how to have fun!
Next it was off to Peanut Lake Road on the party bus (which, I must admit, has a pretty great driver - he was able to turn the bus around on a single lane dirt road!) and then around town as the wedding party stopped to take shots at their favorite bar and of course take shots off of the 'shotski'. I also love that this group wasn't afraid to hop off the bus to take photos in the RAIN!
To cap off the evening, the party bus dropped the wedding party off at Maxwell's for the reception - which continued to be filled with fun. The dance floor was filled with guests dancing to Mind Control, the funk band who provided the entertainment.
Dan and Michelle, I couldn't be any happier for the pair of you (and Maddy). I adore how much fun you have together and I know you will spend the rest of your lives laughing together. Congratulations and best wishes!

CHESTERTOWN -- Salisbury State coach Jim Berkman said he didn't need to deliver any "big, motivational speeches" to his lacrosse team before yesterday's matchup with Eastern Shore rival Washington College.
Many of his Sea Gulls were in uniform last May when the Shoremen visited Sea Gull Stadium and left with a victory and a berth in the semifinals of the NCAA Division III tournament.
But even newcomers like Paul Smith knew what was at stake when the two teams collided in what has become known as the "War on the Shore."

The development of cities is increasingly threatened by a worldwide water crisis. Urban water services (including drinking water, sanitation and drainage) are facing complex and multiple pressures, which are becoming increasingly frequent and severe. These pressures include floods, and the depletion, pollution and degradation of water resources and their associated ecosystems. These diverse pressures fall mainly within the domains of flood risk and water resources management: two working fields that are divided by different institutional structures, approaches and practices. Social learning is becoming increasingly popular as an approach that has the potential to "bridge" these silos, and ultimately, contribute to building resilience in urban water services. However, empirical analyses on this issue are rare and fragmented. In her PhD thesis, Åse Johannessen fills this gap. Her results identify challenges to the integration of the identified silos, what resilience means for urban water services, and the key elements of social learning that can support or inhibit urban water resilience.
One of the major challenges facing Jordan is its severe shortage of water resources: water scarcity is the norm. The consequences of water scarcity in Jordan are made more harsh by several developments related to strategy, policy and society, the most significant being the rapid rise in population. The population of Jordan has increased tenfold since the 1950s. In addition to the high rate of population growth, Jordan has seen a series of massive refugee influxes since 1948, most importantly the influx of Palestinian refugees over the past decades and currently over a million Syrian refugees. A new book, «Water Resources of Jordan», sheds light on the problems Jordan faces and aims to bring suggestions for possible solutions.
29 June 2018 • The northeastern United States is experiencing rapid changes in its hydrology due to intense land-use change, urbanization, and climate change. It also possesses some of the highest density, longest term observations of hydrologic variables (streamflow, groundwater levels) in the US and the world. The focus of this presentation is how small unconfined aquifer systems, and the streams to which they are connected, respond to hydroclimatic and land use changes. 2018 Birdsall-Dreiss Lecture: Groundwater as a Buffer to Climatic Change: Dynamic Subsurface Storage of Glaciated Landscapes
The book »Groundwater around the world« presents a unique and up-to-date summary of what is known about groundwater on our planet, from a global perspective and in terms of area-specific factual information. Unlike most textbooks on groundwater, it does not deal with theoretical principles, but rather with the overall picture that emerges as a result of countless observations, studies and other activities related to groundwater in all parts of the world. The focus is on showing the role and geographical diversity of groundwater—a natural resource of great importance in daily life, but poorly understood by the general public and even by many water sector professionals. As a result of a cooperation between author Jac van der Gun and Michael van der Valk | Hydrology.nl the book is now available as a free PDF file!
Питна вода з-під крана, всі на велосипедах і відсутність поняття «сміття». Про те, що для українця – дивина, а для жителя невеличкого чеського міста – буденність, розповіла кореспонденту «СК» харківська науковиця Юлія Виставна.
Water legislation in Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine is under transformation from Soviet to EU environmental standards. This shift requires significant changes in the terminology, structure and content of water laws. At present, the main shortcomings of the water legislation of the three countries and its practical implementation are: (1) fragmentation of water legislation, which translates into poorly defined responsibilities; (2) significant discrepancies between different laws on property rights and the responsibilities of natural resource users; and (3) outdated water quality standards. A new paper by Yuliya Vystavna, Maryna Cherkashyna and Michael van der Valk describes the changes needed to transform the water legislation in Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine from Soviet to EU environmental standards.
Cooperation in the use and management of the Nile will become indispensable in view of the demographic challenges yet to come. Prerequisite for a close cooperation is a legal and institutional framework. However, the Nile basin countries have not yet been able to agree on a permanent form for joint water management. A new book by Dr Philine Wehling provides a comprehensive legal assessment of the existing treaty law governing the use and management of the Nile. It analyses the 2010 Nile River Basin Cooperative Framework Agreement and recommends important amendments to its content. Furthermore, the book operationalizes the principle of equitable and reasonable utilisation and applies it to the Nile. Combining the legal assessment with the operationalization of international law principles, it offers a valuable resource for academics and practitioners seeking to design a permanent legal and institutional framework for cooperation in the Nile basin.
12–15 February 2018, Heidelberg • SnowHydro 2018 – International Conference on Snow Hydrology. Snow is an important component of the hydrological cycle. The seasonal storage of water in the snowpack may last over months, and its retarded release is a major factor of reliable water supply for ecosystems and human needs during dry periods. Rapid snow melt can however cause destruction through sudden floods, mostly in combination with rainfall. Thus, water demanding downstream regions, settlements and infrastructures are highly vulnerable with regard to the presence or absence of snow in the headwaters. Increasing air temperatures and changing precipitation patterns driven by climate change will modify snow conditions and thus lead to changing water supplies. Snow cover is also a critical factor in global and regional energy balances. The consequences of reduced snow duration and an increasing share of rainfall on precipitation will completely change the land-atmosphere interactions and thus lead to further modifications of the regional climatic conditions.

Gorse bushes can be seen all over the countryside, their florescent yellow bloom light the hillsides, a blaze of colour across the land. Unfortunately sometimes their blaze is literal, their oil rich wood all too quickly ignites in dry weather and fires of gorse burn fiercely every year. The truth is that gorse is often hated, it spreads like, well, wild fire, and land is quickly colonized by its spiny stems.
Even in our own garden, the one acre of land that we endeavour to tame and reclaim from the wild clutches of vegetation, we have a love and hate relationship with this shrub botanically called Ulex europeaus. When the blooms are out their sweet fragrance drifts through the air, along the roadsides as we take a morning walk the sweet coconut scents waft along the country lane. In early morning sunlight the blooms glow bright, it is beautiful, yet we cut it from the garden. There is an old Irish saying that says that the time for kissing is when the gorse is in blossom, Iuckily it is not just our spring walks that are enhanced by this terrible beauty, but at any time of the year you can find a gorse bush in flower.
These days a gorse covered field is seen as a waste land, but in times past the gorse, which is also called furze or whin, was seen as a sign of prosperous land. The old Irish saying "An t-ór fé'n aiteann, an t-airgead fé'n luachair agus an gorta fé'n bhfraoch", says gold under gorse, silver under rushes and famine under heather. Around our garden are rushes, heather and gorse. Heather grows in the bog, rushes in wetter soil but gorse grows on the drier soil. In the past gorse hedges made great barriers for lives stock and walking sticks were made from the wood. But I am sure if you ask most people if there is any use for gorse they will say there is none.
Each morning as I smell its fragrance on the air if makes me hungry, it has a sweet foody smell, surely there is a use for gorse? After searching for a bit I found a recipe for gorse flowers, gorse cordial. With some enthusiasm my wife Hanna and I brought our wheel barrow for a short walk along the road and cut some flowering shoots, quite a few flowering shoots in fact, a whole wheel barrow full. We wore thick gloves and brought our loppers, they are incredibly spiney. We then brought them home and removed the flowers with a scissors. Below is the recipe that we used, it is quite delicious!
- 1.5 litre of gorse flowers
- 250g of fructose sugar (fruit sugar)
- 900ml of water
- Juice of one lemon
- In a saucepan slowly add the sugar to the water and stir to dissolve. Boil for ten minutes with the lid on.
- Place the prepared flowers in a large bowl and pour the sugar and water over the flowers
- Add the lemon juice.
- Cover with a plate and leave to cool over night
- The next morning squeeze the flowers and water though muslin cloth.
- Bottle the cordial in sterilized bottles.
- Dilute the cordial with still or sparkling water, about 1:10 (cordial:water or to taste). Refrigerate the cordial after opening.

View Poll Results: What % of districts have at least 2 teams that Challenge for the title?
- Voters
- 31. You may not vote on this poll
Oct 7, 17, 03:35 PM #1
Competitiveness within District PlayIt seems as district play begins many of the games are blowouts and lack luster. I would venture to say nearly 50% of the districts throughout the state have a team that stands alone among its competition.
Do you think the 6 Class system has hurt the competition within district play or helped it?Advertisement
Oct 7, 17, 03:52 PM #2
Competition goes two ways, it's not always about how many teams can battle for #1 but also how many have a legit shot at #2.

If there is a powerhouse that is year in and year out going to win the district and the other three teams are horrible, then it helps no one. However if there is real competition between the other three teams for the #2 seed it's still good for football.

The districts were definitely more competitive in the 4 class system. Almost anytime you take teams out of a selected group the competition within that group will decline. I do think however the smaller districts have made for a more enjoyable regular season. Teams are free to schedule a larger variety of opponents year in and year out.

You might get another competitive game or two. But you're going to be adding average and bad teams as well. And by forcing teams to play more bad district games, you're ability to play more competitive out of district games gets more limited. There aren't enough really good teams in KY. Reducing classes doesn't change that.

Oct 7, 17, 10:34 PM #9Can't speak about the big picture. But on a local level, the Scott-Bourbon-Mason-Harrison-Holmes district has been chock-full of competitive games; and the Bracken-Brossart-Paris-Nicholas district has been fun.

Oct 8, 17, 07:17 AM #13Get rid of districts and let teams schedule who they want. Then seed the playoffs using Cal Preps rankings. Would make for more competive season games and more interesting playoffs.

Oct 8, 17, 10:51 AM #15The only thing impacted by 6 classes is competitiveness in the second /third round of the playoffs. The teams that are in the top half now, would be in the top half in a 5 class or 4 class system. When those top half teams face each other in the playoffs is really all that is impacted by having 6 classes. Regular season district play in football is the same as it is in the other sports - a playoff seeding process.

Probably you already know the company with the name Corning (and the Gorilla Glass) from advertisers of the latests or even old smart phones. In early 2011 this company create a video with the name "A Day Made of Glass" presenting the future as their engineers and thinkers imagining it. Now, one year later, Corning's expanded vision for the future of glass technologies. This video continues the story of how highly engineered glass, with companion technologies, will help shape our world.
And for the ones that didn't remember the original video… here is the HD version of it directly from Corning's YouTube stream. I don't know if you thing that the future will look like that but some of the ideas are very promising while other are already taking shape!

Congress needs to address the growing threat Russia presents to the undersea cables that carry 95 percent of all global Internet traffic, including U.S. military communications, Sen. Roger Wicker said Wednesday after a classified briefing.
"The United States needs to take seriously the growing Russian threat to these cables," the Mississippi Republican said, citing published reports that Russian submarines and spy ships were shadowing the cables, raising fears they could hack into them, or cut them.
"Moving forward, Congress has an obligation to assist the administration in protecting American interests from our adversaries. In the coming weeks, I will be working with my colleagues to help provide our military and intelligence agencies with the tools they need to fulfill that mission."
Wicker arranged for the briefing by officials from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Naval Intelligence, Department of Homeland Security, and Joint Operations Division for U.S. European Command after an Oct. 25 New York Times report on the issue.Read more on WashingtonExaminer.com
