Storage is one of the first things that you have to compromise on when you have a smaller bathroom. Keeping surfaces clear and having a place for everything to be put away is more important in a smaller space, as too much clutter can make the room feel even more cramped.
Check out our ideas for making the most of your storage space in a small bathroom.
If floor space is lacking in your bathroom, adding shelves is one of the easiest ways to boost storage and make use of all wall space. Glass shelving is the best choice for the bathroom as it is easy to wipe clean.
Wall hung basin units are another great storage option for smaller bathrooms, and help to keep your bathroom looking smart and uncluttered.
If you are considering replacing your bathroom sink, choose a basin unit which combines a sink with storage drawers or cupboard space. A mirrored cabinet is another great multi-tasking addition to a petite bathroom.
A shower caddy is a must to keep your shower area tidy and keeping surfaces clear. You can find styles that hook over a shower screen if you don't want a wall mounted design.
No room on the wall for a towel rail? If you have a glass shower door then you can install a towel rail onto it, for easy access from the shower. Alternatively, make use of hooks on walls or doors- a few placed strategically around the room will ensure you have plenty of space to hang towels.
Use a measuring tape to help you find the right storage to fit your space. Bathroom cabinets come in many different shapes and sizes- a long narrow cabinet is easier to squeeze in if you have a small bathroom.
Get inventive and fit shelves around furniture, making use of empty space in less obvious areas, such as above the toilet or underneath the basin.
Once your storage solutions are in place, make sure that you get the most out of them. Streamline your products so that only have the necessities on your shelves, and use drawer organisers to maximise space within your drawers or cabinets.
Be ruthless - if storage space is at a real premium in your bathroom, only keep what you actually need in there, to save room for the essentials.
Take time to find the right storage for your bathroom, and consider it a worthwhile investment to help you to get the best from your space.

WWE SmackDown 7-9-15
I didn't expect to watch this, but then figured I might as well just to get it done with. Car mangling is recapped for ages. Seth and Heyman have a chat and Seth says he's the champ. Dean beats Bo and Show and Seth talk. Rusev beats Fandango. Show, in a shirt under his singlet for whatever reason, faces Reigns. Bray interferes for a DQ. Titus beats Big E with the Sky High. Seth's car is shown being crushed for some reason. Orton beats up The Ascension. Team Bellas beats Naomi and Tamina. Ryback talks about Seth and they have a pretty fun little match. Ryback wins after Seth leaves voluntarily, and Show attacks before Roman saves. This was a show.

Here's a fresh and vibrant tangerine-themed garden wedding with bold floral arrangements and flamboyant print dresses. Not a hint of pastel to be seen.
Melbourne couple Claire Johnson and Daniel Talha, both 29, met at the Victorian schoolies' week in the popular coastal town, Lorne, on the Great Ocean Road. It was 2001 and the pair were staying in neighbouring holiday cottages celebrating the end of school days.
Claire tells, "We went out for about two years and then broke up for five years (but stayed friends). We got back together in 2009 and the rest is history! Because we first got together when we were so young, having the time apart was really good for us. We both got to explore the world and see what else (and who else) was out there, and then know for sure that we were meant to be together."
It was 10 years after they met that Daniel took Claire back to those fateful cottages in Lorne for a surprise birthday weekend away, where he proposed over champagne and candles. "He is my best friend and so much fun to be around," says Claire. He's sensitive, caring, and also a great cook!"
Claire found her strapless A-line lace gown from coastal bridal boutique, Sunset Bridal. She wore a medium length satin edge veil, and a floral design hair piece which her bridesmaids bought for her on a trip to Cambodia.
The vivid bridal bouquets were by Melbourne flower wholesalers, Baguley F & I Flower & Plant Growers. "They were so helpful," praises Claire. "I told them I wanted the orange theme and I really wanted to have orange calla lilies. They made lots of suggestions and created beautiful bouquets, better than I had even imagined."
Daniel and his groomsmen wore slim cut charcoal grey suits from Callucci Menswear.
The garden wedding was held on a beautiful spring day at the historical Marybrooke Manor, on the edge of the Sherbrooke Forest in Melbourne's Dandenong Ranges.
The vivid orange bridesmaid dresses were from women's fashion retailer, Witchery. Claire tells, "We found these printed maxi dresses on sale; they were all size 14 and so we bought them and had them altered to size, and cut into different styles." Two of the gowns were cut short and one gown had a new halter neckline created.
"One of my best friends and her mum made out beautiful cake for us," explains the bride. "The top and bottom layers were chocolate mud and the middle layer was caramel mud."
Claire recalls one of her favourite moments (apart from reading the vows they had written for each other). "Instead of throwing the bouquet, I gave it to the longest-married couple in the room, who were my aunty and uncle who have been married for 55 years."
That is bound to bestow some longevity luck upon these newlyweds! Congratulations!

WOW this father/daughter duet will completely blow you away – it did me! The America's Got Talent judges were really given a treat by this duos version of the Edward Sharpe track "Home". I'm a big Edward fan and let me tell you these guys really do the song justice – you've got to hear how good they are for yourself.
I couldn't believe the little girl is only seven years old – just think how good she's going to be when she's older. SHARE the music with your family and friends!

Since this is the owners' first home, the couple chose neutral pieces that will grow with them for years to come -- a boxy cream sofa and elegant armless chairs. To personalize the space, they added colorful pillows, funky ceramics, and art.
Space Saver: To make a room look larger, stick to more neutral colors on the walls and in your furniture. Then you can add color through the accessories.
To carve out a dining area in the small living space, the homeowners tucked an antique extension dining table into a bay window nook. Around the table, armless dining chairs save space. Silk curtains and a modern chandelier help define the space.
To transform the living area into an entertaining space, they move the dining table to the center of the room, add two leaves, and cleans off the media console to use as a buffet.
The flat-screen TV was placed off-center of the console, tucked between floating shelves that display a gallery-style arrangement of black-and-white photos and treasured art.
Space Saver: Choose double-duty furniture. The media console keeps electronics out of sight and also serves as a sideboard for parties.
Because the homeowner runs her design business from home and friends often visit, the second bedroom doubles as a home office and a guest room.
Space Saver: To add storage and take advantage of the home's 10-foot ceilings, she installed shelves and cabinets on the walls. The cabinets above her office desk match the other furnishings' dark stain.
The key piece of the transitional office is a sofa that turns into either a twin- or king-size bed for guests' visits.

"Error starting domain: Requested operation is not valid: network 'default' is not active"
How can I fix this error?
When you install QEMU/KVM in Linux, the 'default' NAT network is created automatically by libvirtd daemon. The properties of the 'default' network are defined in the libvirt's default network template (located at /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml). This 'default' network is used to interconnect guest VMs's virtual NICs in NAT mode.
If, for whatever reason, the 'default' network is deactivated, you won't be able to start any guest VMs which are configured to use the network.
When you check the state of existing networks, you will see "inactive" state for the 'default' network.
Here is how to solve the 'default' network stuck in "inactive" state.
Solution One
Your first attempt can be simply trying to start the network with virsh.
If you encounter the following error, go to the next solution.
internal error: Network is already in use by interface virbr0
Solution Two
Identify the name of the bridge associated with the 'default' network. You can find out the bridge name in the default network template (/etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml). In most cases, the bridge name is virbr0.
Remove that bridge as follows.
$ sudo brctl delbr virbr0
Now start the 'default' network using virsh command.
This will automatically re-create the virbr0 bridge.
Verify the state of the default network.

'It wasn't easy, but it was worth it' Cece Winnans' evergreen song rings in my head as I put pen to paper to relate my escape from David's trap called relationship.
Sometimes, our desires can be volatile to a point of choking us, and yet we find it so strong to let go – such was the case of a trap called relationship with Dave. I knew he was a bad boy, but he was charming. He ticked many boxes of the qualities I want in my man. Despite the fact that I knew from the onset that he had a tendency to be reckless, I chose to only see the good in him, and hoped I would be able to influence a change in him as the relationship progressed.
Initially, it seemed to be working. Dave was a sweet lover, he cared for me and made sure I was always happy. He stopped smoking and keeping late nights because I asked him to, and I was really happy that my man was understanding and willing to compromise.
There was however a problem – he wanted sex but I asked him to wait till we are married.
We went back and forth over the issue for a few months; I allowed him to do every other thing with me but sex, and each time I denied him, we quarreled for a day or two. He would come around later and things went well until the next time he asked for sex. We kept that circle on for about fourteen months and suddenly he changed.
He reverted to his old practices and was even worse than when I first knew him. He would drink to stupor and be found in unspeakable places the next morning. Each time I tried talking to him, he told me I had no justification to do so. According to him, he had done everything to make me happy, but I was not making him happy.
I felt blackmailed. A huge part of my boundaries had already been pushed to accommodate Dave, giving in to sex was one part of the boundary I was not going to push. I loved him, and didn't want to let go, but I also couldn't bring myself into pre-marital sex. The fear of bad advise made me decide not to talk to my friends about it. I also couldn't tell my elder sister for fear of judgement (having done other sexually related activities with Dave) so I thought it best to keep it to myself and let things take a natural course.
What broke the camel's back for me was going to Dave's family home and witnessing the rude way he addressed his own mother! It showed how reckless he truly was. If he could be that bad with his own mother, I shuddered at the thought of what he would do to me as his wife.
I immediately realized that the feeling I had for Dave was a deadly trap I was deliberating leading myself into. It became paramount for me to break out or stay stuck forever in the name of love.
I broke up with him two weeks later, and I have not looked back since then.
Good riddance!

ROCK ISLAND - Every February, the "Heroes Among Us" event includes dancing, singing, and honoring heroes in the Quad Cities. However, it's more than just a talent show and a ceremony.
It's put on every year by Q-C Women In Action, a group formed when Tammy Vesey organized the event five years ago.
"Some ladies wanted to be in a talent show, so I was like - well, I can put a program together and you guys can do that performance at the event," she explained.
Tammy was born and raised in Rock Island. After graduating from Rock Island High School, she went to Lewis University and Augustana College, then joined the Air Force. After 9 1/2 years, it was time to come home.
"I wanted to get involved with something and it was kind of hard," she said. "Some people already had things going on, so I just thought - hey, I'll start my own."
She found her inspiration of what to start through the young ladies at Rock Island High School, where she's the head coach of the girls' track & field team.
"As a coach, you become more than just a coach," said Tammy. "You become a mentor, a friend, a shoulder to cry on and with track - you don`t have a lot of time to do that."
So that's how Q-C Women In Action was born... going from a handful of high school girls in 2012 to more than two dozen today.
During their monthly meetings, Tammy and the other mentors in the group talk to the girls about how to "be comfortable with being uncomfortable." Outside of meetings, the group participates in service projects throughout the community and takes trips together to listen to different speakers and authors.
"We try to build the young ladies up so that by the time they graduate high school, they know that they can do whatever they set their mind to and they set themselves up for success," she said.
"That's the big thing that I've learned and I've also learned how to be a role model and how to present myself in a way where I can show people that - yes, I matter and I can just go out there and be who I want to be," said Camryn Comodore, a Member of Q-C Women In Action and Senior at Rock Island High School.
"I've learned to encourage other girls," added Jasmine Thomas, another Member and Senior. "I know with today`s society we often beat each other down, but with this group we know how others feel and we try to take that into consideration when talking to others or just when we're living our every day life."
It's because of the impact Tammy makes on these young lives that she's a Nominee for the Jefferson Award.
"I just love what I do," she said. "My reward is when one of my girls came to me and said I never thought about college until I joined this group."
For Tammy, that's everything.
"By the time my groups of friends growing up got to sophomore year, they had dropped out of school - pregnant - and I remember graduating... me and only one of my close friends from elementary to high school graduated together," explained Tammy. "It was a lack of guidance, in my opinion, so if I can help other girls avoid being like that then I`ll do whatever it takes."
That's why she says she's not done:
"I`m always thinking about ideas... what can I do next or how can I make the last event better?"
Not done dancing, singing, growing, or inspiring our youth and the youth to come.

The Jefferson Awards
It's all about the people who are changing our community. For the third season, WQAD News 8 and Genesis Health System are bringing you eight local nominees of the Jefferson Award. The Jefferson Awards Foundation is a prestigious national recognition system honoring community and public volunteerism in America, or as well call them, "unsung heroes." On the last Tuesday of every month, WQAD News 8 will announce one nominee. Then, in June 2017, one of the eight will represent the Quad Cities in Washington, D.C. at the National Jefferson Awards Ceremony.

I never wanted to buy a Louis Vuitton brand new considering I would croak the first time I scratched it or got anything on it so I decided to go with a vintage used bag. This bag could not be more perfect for me. Even though it is an older bag it is still in great condition. I could tell the Lady Bag had cleaned and polished it up just for me :) Very in Love with it! -Courtney
I truly do love the bag I bought and I will continue to look at your site for future purchases. My only complaint is the interior has a very strong musty smell. I would like to know where/how bags are acquired – was this one in someone's flooded basement It would be nice, in future, to be warned if smell is an issue and/or if that was addressed by the company before shipping out. That being said, it's a beautiful piece. -Lisagh

Firstly, we apologise for the lack of update on this page recently. Minutes of meetings continue to be posted in the usual place (Meetings tab) but our web editor has had competing external demands which left little time for other posts. However, the good news is that our Facebook page has been revamped by parent Linda Stromberg and you will find a lot of useful and timely information over there. Look for the Banchory Academy Parent Forum page - please like and share posts that you find useful.
Although not yet reflected in this website, we have embarked on an overhaul of our communications and hope to have all improvements complete by the end of the 2017/2018 session. We are particularly grateful for the opportunity to use the school's GroupCall messaging system to send Parent Council information to all parents directly; this is new to us this year and we hope has been useful.
Our March meeting scheduled for March 1st has been postponed due to the snow. It will now take place on March 15th (7pm in the school library).
Among other topics, we'll be covering the following:
- health & wellbeing working group
- improving Tillybrake field
- additional support needs
- links with primary schools
- how to support PTA fundraising
- how the community can keep land set aside for an eventual new academy
- effect of anti-social behaviour on the community
- update from literacy, numeracy & careers talks working group
Please don't hesitate to email firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any suggestions or queries. All parents/carers of Academy pupils are welcome at parent council meetings and no advance notice of attendance is required.

Someone didn't like seeing the recent events in Mojave involving Burt Rutan, Paul Allen, and Sir Richard. Recent information suggests that the Private Space community might be getting regulated out of existence. There are a lot of suspects, but certain very large aerospace companies (and maybe a government agency?) have the most to gain from this.
This new legislation was supposed to be a codification of what FAA/AST was already doing, that is, "protecting" the uninvolved public. The new amendments include language to "protect" crews and passengers. Here's what Randall Clague, government liaison for XCOR had to say about in an email I received just moments ago:
HR 3752 has been amended in the Senate Commerce Committee to put crew and passenger safety on an equal footing with public safety. This sounds like motherhood and apple pie, but if you think about it for a second or two, you discover that this is a Bad Thing.
If crew and passenger safety were put on an equal footing with public safety, FAA would have no choice but to hold crew and passenger safety to an EC of 30 per mission. If this were only for passenger safety, it would mean that no operator could carry passengers until after he had flown several tens of thousands of consecutive safe missions. That would be financially burdensome, and prohibitive to all but the largest operators, but it is not *obviously* impossible.
But the amended bill also requires the same standard of crew safety. That's impossible. No experimental vehicle is so safe right out of the box that it can fly 33,000 missions without harming its crew. Any flight test program, of any manned air vehicle, poses more risk than that to its crew. This bill would prohibit flight test of manned space vehicles.
Bottom line: HR 3752, as amended, would stop all manned private space flight in the United States.
Someone needs to put a hold on the bill, to prevent it from passing on unanimous consent. You can find your Senator's contact information at www.senate.gov. Call and ask to speak to their space staffer, and let him or her know what's going on. You don't even need to pitch anything; just let them know that these amendments would stop all private manned space flight in the U.S.

(emphasis mine)
What is the Senate bill number? HR is the House number that was passed the house a long time ago. If there are amendments than in needs to go to a joint House-Senate committee. Unfortunately, pulling amendments out then is quite difficult.
It looks like the Senate
It looks like the Senate version is S.2772, which is currently in committee. The Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee covers this area, which means that the Senators on that committee would be the most important people to make aware of this issue. Those Senators are McCain (R-AZ, Chairman), Stevens (R-AK), Burns (R-MT), Lott (R-MS), Hutchison (R-TX), Snowe (R-ME), Brownback (R-KS), Smith (R-OR), Fitzgerald (R-IL), Ensign (R-NV), Allen (R-VA), Sununu (R-NH), Hollings (D-SC), Inouye (D-HI), Rockefeller (D-WV), Kerry (D-MA), Breaux (D-LA), Dorgan (D-ND), Wyden (D-OR), Boxer (D-CA), Nelson (D-FL), Cantwell (D-WA), and Lautenberg (D-NJ). Contact information for these Senators can be found at http://commerce.senate.gov/about/membership.html. The bill itself can be found at http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d108:SN02772:, if you have the time to decipher it yourself.
While this would be one of
While this would be one of the worst things our government could do, wouldn't the whole deal pick up and move to Canada or Mexico?
Ben, U.S. citizens must go
Ben, U.S. citizens must go abide by U.S. laws everywhere. I can't pick up and go elswhere. And getting rid of the U.S. citizenship isn't easy either. So if I try launching from say Canada, I have to go through both the Canadian authorities and the U.S. authorities. :mad:
U.S. citizens must go abide
U.S. citizens must go abide by U.S. laws everywhere.
I'm not so sure about that. I believe U.S. laws only apply within the limited geographical jurisdiction, with some exceptions in tax law.
Does someone have a boiler
Does someone have a boiler plate letter drafted? Something to the effect of:
Dear Senator,
SpaceShipOne accomplished an amazing goal this month by winning the Ansari X-Prize for private space flight. I am sure that you were as thrilled as I was ... [voters won't like anti-X-prize legislation in an election year]
Yet I have learned that legislation has been proposed that would severly limit this type of innovation ... [details of bill and quote from above]
[...importance of private enterprise to economy... ...what if the Internet had been hampered by legislation...]
Please vote NO [...call to action...]
Thank you
If someone can fill in the details and fact check, I'll send it off, as will probably a few hundred thousand other technophiles.
Micha is correct. Outside
Micha is correct. Outside the US and its affiliated territories, the US has no jurisdiction to regulate things like space travel, even if it's being done by American citizens. The effect of this regulation wouldn't be to stop space travel, but to chase it and the monstrous amount of business it would do south of the border. Ironically, cutting off this obvious future growth industry is going to hurt tax revenues in the long run.

Out & about
De Kleine Wolf camping park is situated in the picturesque Vecht valley in Overijssel. The valley is a unique region of the Netherlands and a relatively undiscovered holiday gem. Its many woodlands, heaths, meadows and castles, as well as authentic, picturesque villages, such as Junne, Vilsteren, Rheeze and Beerze make it an idyllic haven of tranquility; with the enchanting Vecht river, abound with a diversity of fish species, twisting and turning its way through the landscape.
Any guests that find 'De Kleine Wolf' grounds too confining can go off into the park's idyllic natural surroundings for walks and cycling excursions. There is also a professional golf course approx. 3 km away from the park and an exercise circuit, including outdoor training equipment, located in the Ommerbos a little way on.
The Vecht valley is perfect for culture lovers, with the National Tin Figures Museum and Regional Museum in Ommen and dozens of gallery and studios strewn around the Valley. Horticulturalists will enjoy a visit to the Mien Ruys Gardens in Dedemsvaart, Waterflora Ada Hofman in Gramsbergen or the Free Range gardens in Ane. Equally, the Veenpark in Barger Compascuum or Emmen Zoo are also well worth a visit.
Enjoy excitement, thrill, action and speed? Then why not pay a visit to the adventure parks nearby, such as Slagharen theme park, Adventure Park Hellendoorn, Speelstad Oranje in Beilen, the Traffic Park in Assen, Kabouterland Exloo or the Dolphinarium in Harderwijk? Nearly all major adventure parks in The Netherlands are within 1 hour drive from our campsite.
The Vecht valley, with bustling villages like Ommen, Dedemsvaart, Hardenberg and Nijverdal, is also great for shopping and for pub culture. The villages have a great range of shops and weekday markets.
In addition, guests will be able to enjoy the annual Ommer Bissingh market every Wednesday in July and August, with plenty of fun activities for the whole family. The summer months also see plenty of sporting and cultural events held in Hardenberg. Further afoot are the shopping cities of Zwolle, Hoogeveen, Emmen and Almelo, with Nordhorn (Germany) only half an hours drive away.

Join our mailing list to receive regular updates from Headlong.
The pace of things has stepped up this week. As the actors grow in confidence with their lines and the journeys of their characters, we start to explore Part Two of the play in detail, tracing its narrative arc. As such, the textual choices we are making are becoming increasingly clear. DC Moore's writing has a very precise rhythm and, as we grow familiar with it, the sound of the play has started to take on a new, almost musical, quality. In terms of the blocking, it's significant that the actors' natural movements have informed so many of the staging choices we are now settling on. This was a bit of a revelation to us all: that the collective instinct can show us so much about the story we're trying to tell.
We become increasingly aware of the theatricality of the self, where characters will present a certain version of themselves depending on what they want from others within their immediate environment. This lends the play its heightened, carnivalesque energy and means it's able to shift from the intimate to the epic and back again in quick succession. Indeed, Mary's attempt to stake her claim to this portion of England's lost land is an inherently theatrical event, one which is showcased most clearly in direct address to the audience in the way that Hamlet, Macbeth, Richard III, or Frank Underwood might employ. The fact that this style of performance has typically been afforded to an exclusively male collection of antiheroes, in the past two-and-a-half millennia of theatre making, isn't lost on us.
In spite of the weight of the history of the Industrial Revolution, as we learnt in Week One of rehearsals, the vast spectrum of characters in Common are shown to be largely peripheral to it. As such, it's for us to be aware of this social, historical, and political context, but then focus on the scenes DC Moore has written. What is challenging is to balance psychological truth with a heightened, poetic language, which is unique to this play. It's why it was key to excavate the text previously, to analyse and understand before attempting to physicalise it – instead of trying to run before we can walk! As we move through, we are constantly referring back to the model of the set design, which will revolve to showcase the various locations described in the stage directions. In parallel, the actors have been visiting the Costume Department to talk about their characters' clothes for the first time – in consultation with our designer, Richard Hudson, and Costume Supervisor, Irene Bohan – based upon those discoveries they've made in the rehearsal room so far.
There is a selection of props being filtered into rehearsals: a clacker, some rifles and pistols, and an eclectic mixture of masks. In fact, our actors do some mask work, in a session led by Jeremy Herrin and Joseph Alford, which culminates in a much more ritualistic interpretation of the prologue to the play, and the sense of a community who have kept in touch with the pagan traditions of their ancestors.
The balancing act of putting on a play involves a lot more than simply rehearsing it. There are a vast array of people associated with this production, all of whom have been working tirelessly behind the scenes over the past few weeks (and, in some cases, months), whether it be in the pursuit of construction, sound, lighting, music, fights, educational outreach, or press and marketing. These elements will fashion the show just as much as the costumes fashion its cast.

11 Mar Ask Flora: Growing Ferns
For help with these questions, I went to Judith Jones of Fancy Fronds Nursery in Gold Bar, WA. She is an expert in ferns. Thanks for the help Judith!
Dear Flora:
Why should I grow ferns? And what recommendations do you have for fern growers?
Northwest Greens
Dear Northwest Greens:
Here is the answer from Judith.
"They will do the same thing for you that listening to Baroque-Roccoco music does. It is a matter of attraction to begin with I suppose but beyond that after nearly thirty years of growing I can cite several practical reasons for using ferns in the landscape.
- They come in a diverse range of forms, from simple to highly divided.
- They range in size from a couple of inches tall to several feet tall.
- They occupy environmental niches from wetlands to deserts.
- They quietly add substance to any garden and set off flowering perennials and shrubs to
great advantage.
- They are very long-lived when properly placed.
- They are relatively pest free.
Many of my customers come up to tell me, after a harsh winter such as this, that all their ferns have survived but they are going to replace the other plants that succumbed.
As far as recommendations, be more adventurous in your choices. However, question redundant-named variations of a species or cultivar, i.e. Japanese painted fern
cultivars, that appear similar. The commercial nursery industry cares little about correct identification and labeling. Buy what you like based on its appearance after determining if it indeed will grow where you intend to plant it and buy from reputable growers who know their plants. Real growers will help you choose the correct ferns for your zone and garden conditions. I have talked many a customer out of buying an unsuitable fern choice and sent them off to another grower who has the fern that I feel would do well for them."

Back in the day if you were a leading literary light you took a stab at writing children's novels. E. B. White did it with Charlotte's Web, and this is James Thurber's children's classic, a book that one of today's literary greats, Neil Gaiman, has called "the best book ever written." And it's pretty darn good. Reads almost like a long poem, is a weird original fairy tale and quest story, and is ancestor to Kate DiCamillo's The Tale of Despereaux.
The wicked Duke in this tale is very wicked indeed. I suppose the dark parts of the story didn't bother me as a kid because I had absolute confidence that evil could be defeated. Good to reread as an adult.
Forgot how good a read this is.
A classic piece of dazzlingly-written tom-foolery, ridiculous and funny, with a rhythm that cries out for reading aloud. The best known of Thurber's novels of this kind, a fairy tale as only someone as brilliant and off-beat as Thurber could write.
A totally delightful book suitable for both children and adults. A fairy tale that works on many levels.

And then, without a rhyme or reason, out of time and out of season, Hagga laughed and kept on laughing. No one had said a word, no one had told a tale. It might have been the hooting of an owl. It might have been the laughing of a snail. But Hagga laughed and kept on laughing, and precious jewels twinkled down her cheek and sparkled on the floor, until the hut was ankle-deep in diamonds and in rubies. The Golux counted out a thousand and put them in a velvet sack that he had brought along. "I wish that she had laughed," he sighed, "at something I had said."
there are rules and rites and rituals, older than the sound of bells and snow on mountains
"We all have flaws," he said, "and mine is being wicked."
Remember laughter. You'll need it even in the blessed isles of Ever After.

You can imagine our delight, Faithful Readers, when we were castigated this week by two angry horse-chestnut seeds.
Yes, we received a couple of semi-abusive letters from buckeyes -- the name given to those worthless, poisonous nuts as well as inhabitants of the state of Ohio. Fortunately, Intrepid Commuter can take the heat without flinching.
Which reminds us: Do you know the difference between Cleveland and the Titanic? Cleveland has the bigger orchestra.
Both readers took great offense at our recent column about motorists who move to Maryland from another state, but fail to change the title and registration on their cars. One of our readers suggested a $25 bounty to motivate people to turn in offenders.

Hello there, I'm Kristin Hedge, and I'm glad that you stopped by. A little bit about me - I was raised on a small farm in Illinois and spent my childhood days surrounded by family that I love and wonderful fresh country air. I met my husband when I was a senior in high school and we got married in 2003. In 2009, we moved back to the farm I enjoyed in my childhood and we have been living here ever since. We have two beautiful children, Tyler and Alaina.
Tyler is a sparkly blue eyed little boy who loves playing in the dirt and riding tractors more than anybody that I know.
Alaina is my shadow, my sweet little curly sue, and my best "helper."
I'm a CPA by day. I used to work in public accounting but have found that I love working for a corporation more, so that is where I have found peace with my Type A personality. However, growing up, there was nothing I enjoyed more than being creative and making things. Drawing, painting, constructing, anything you could think of. If my hands were busy, I was usually pretty happy. I have found through the years, although life has treated me extremely well, I have lost touch with that creative side. The chaos associated with being a full time mom to two little children, working full time, and life in general has taken over. So, now I have this little happy place to call home. To reacquaint myself with lost passions. To enjoy all the goodness in my life, and most of all to do more of what makes me happy.

From outsized events, we often attempt to draw outsized lessons, as if we have to match the scale of a storm or a flood or an earthquake with what we take away from them, as if suffering must always generate a commensurate wisdom.
Sometimes, of course, it does. We learned large, valuable lessons from 9/11 and Katrina, for instance, while the countries around the Indian Ocean have done the same from the 2004 tsunami, and the Chinese are still learning (however slowly) from the devastating Sichuan earthquakes of 2008. From national security to social solidarity, and from the nature and purpose of government to the natural interconnectedness of all the world's nations, these events called for big thinking on major issues, leading to significant change.
Sometimes, though, there is no larger lesson, no great takeaway to justify the tragedy, the disruption, the loss and the suffering. In the week since Hurricane Sandy hit New Jersey, New York and Connecticut, I have heard different people try to draw different lessons from it, saying that we must use it as a rallying cry or wake-up call to address issues as wide-ranging as climate change, income disparity and social division, or the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of different levels of government.
In the end, I suspect Sandy won't sustain any of these larger lessons. Despite the undeniable tragedies - the lives lost, the many homes destroyed -- its lessons are smaller. They don't speak to major social issues, but to more personal things like keeping in touch with family; like letting neighbors without hot water take a shower, or letting strangers without power charge up their phones; and like keeping your cool in a long line for gas. They are also about sweating the small stuff: having a go-kit and bottled water, knowing your escape routes, learning what dangers your town or region is susceptible to and how to react to each, having rallying points and agreed-upon emergency procedures for your family or your business, and having a plan.
The last part -- having a plan -- is an area where accounting firms can play a unique and important role. Who better to teach lessons of prudence and preparedness than CPAs? The profession has done great things with teaching financial literacy to individuals, and could do similar things with helping individuals prepare for disaster.
More important, though, accountants are in a great position to teach their business clients. Who better to tell businesses of all sizes that they need create plans to ensure that they can weather whatever comes their way? This is detail work -- setting up communication trees, assessing the security and accessibility of off-site data storage, reviewing or recommending insurance plans, researching alternative office arrangements - exactly the sort of thing businesses rely on their accountants for.
Disaster recovery has been a serious concern for almost a decade, so we were glad, in the wake of Sandy, to see a number of firms in the area quickly ensure their own safety and viability with advanced disaster recovery plans -- and then reach out to their clients, offering to help them in a wide variety of ways.
At the risk of seeming crass, this is a valuable service. Assuming you develop the necessary expertise, teaching your clients how to set up and implement a disaster recovery plan, or assessing whatever plan they have in place, would make a strong addition to a firm's practice areas.
But even if you don't take it that far, even if you just make a point of asking your business clients if they have a plan, and suggesting that they develop one if they don't, it's a valuable contribution. It may be a small lesson, but it's worth learning -- and accountants can teach it well.

Construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT), which has been delayed for months following protests by native Hawaiians, has taken a key step towards restarting. At a press conference on 26 May, governor of Hawaii David Ige noted that the TMT – to be built on the country's highest peak, Mauna Kea – has the right to proceed, and that all of the necessary permits for the observatory have been obtained. Yet, he criticized how the University of Hawaii has managed the land on Mauna Kea, outlining 10 improvements – some recommended and some required – for how the university uses the mountain.
Since 1968 the University of Hawaii has leased more than 44.5 km2 of land on Mauna Kea from the Hawaiian Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) for scientific purposes, with the highest 2.1 km2 devoted to astronomy research. The top of Mauna Kea is already home to 13 telescopes, and the TMT will be the largest and most powerful instrument when it is operational in 2023. The telescope's 30 m primary mirror will be made of 492 hexagonal segments, and a structure 66 m wide and 56 m tall will house the telescope. The TMT will sit on a plateau about 500 feet below the summit, a location picked to reduce the telescope's visibility from the majority of the island.
Fewer telescopes
Construction of the TMT had been halted in early April following protests by native Hawaiians, who see its construction on Mauna Kea as desecration of their spiritual and cultural pinnacle. Over the past eight weeks, Ige has mostly stayed quiet regarding the protests, but now, along with giving permission for construction to restart, he requests that the university returns all of the land not used for astronomy to the jurisdiction of the DLNR. He also says that the University of Hawaii should begin decommissioning one telescope later this year with at least one-quarter of the remainder to be completely dismantled by the time the TMT is operational, with each site to be returned to its natural state.
One of those affected could be the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory. It was already slated to be dismantled, starting in 2016, but that may now be brought forward. Yet according to cosmologist Asantha Cooray of the University of California, Irvine, decommissioning a telescope is far from simple, and takes at least a couple of years. He says that the University of Hawaii – rather than the astronomical community – will likely decide which other three telescopes will be removed.
Cultural contribution
Ige also announced that the state government would work to change how the mountain is managed, and that it will form the Mauna Kea Cultural Council. This group will review the subleases to observatories, all proposed rules, and any preparatory work regarding the environmental impact of telescopes on the mountain. Thayne Currie, an astronomer with the Subaru Telescope on Mauna Kea who has also worked at other observatories on the site, says that this new council is a step in the right direction, provided that it "is tasked with not just simply receiving messages from the native Hawaiian community, but really considering their mission to try as much as they can to make sure their concerns are reflected in action".
While the new rules will hit facilities on Mauna Kea, Ige, however, still believes that both science and culture should co-exist on the mountain. "Science has received most of the attention and has gotten way ahead of culture in our work on the mountain," he says, adding that "the proper balance" between the two had been lost. In a statement, TMT members noted that "We are grateful to governor Ige for his leadership and his statement of support for TMT's right to proceed. We will work with the framework he has put forth."

Facebook Groups – A collaboration tool for businesses?
I have to admit, I never really thought of facebook groups in the professional coordination sense. I thought they were really only effective when it came to speaking to preferred clients, invite only clients or my very close circle of friends and family. But as I was reading this post on mashable on tools for better agency and client coordination, I realized that groups can be used as quite an effective communication and coordination tool, professionally between companies and departments. And that too for totally free!
Think about it. With facebook groups:
– You get the ability to set up your group visibility (Open, Closed or Secret)
– You get notifications whenever anyone posts an update, message or a question
– You can share images and videos, which is absolutely perfect for sharing designs and media file
– You can copy and paste text documents and create your own facebook documents
– You can ask polling questions to get a vote on certain decisions that you'd want to take collectively as a group
The only major thing, that I find missing is the ability to attach documents that the user can download from within the group. A workaround for this would be to post a link to an online repository where you have stored the document; but that indeed does sound like a long workaround.
Nonetheless even without the document sharing, I feel FB groups do allow for a neat collaboration tool because at the end of the day all of your team members are in the loop when it comes to keeping track of whats happenining. They can easily share updates and ask for clarifications. And last but not the least, the decision makers can make the decisions and communicate action plans based on those decisions.
So good going facebook and good job Mashable for highlighting something that I hadn't thought of yet 🙂

IVR for Courts
courtworks™ — Keeping Everyone Informed. Self-service access to court services by phone.
Whether dealing with a parking ticket, a moving violation, or something more serious, experiences with the legal system are rarely pleasant and are an anxious time for most. Wouldn't it be great to reduce this anxiety and make it easier for everyone?
Opening the Lines of Communication.
With courtworks™ IVR you give citizens access to information when they want it through their touchtone phone.

Classic elegant huipil with beautiful soft colors from the town of Todos Santos Cuchumatán. This lovely larger huipil measures 35″ across the shoulders, 33″ across the chest, and 31″ from the neckline to the bottom edges (folded). The neck opening is slightly oval shaped and measures 7.5″ x 4.5″. The sides have been sewn to create armholes.
This daily use vintage huipil is striking with delicate woven designs that feature very tiny designs throughout the bodice on both sides. This style of weaving leaves the loose ends on the inside, creating a shaggy lining that aids in warmth in the high mountain area. The huipil is accented around the collar with purple velveteen trim and radiating lines of applique that is classic to the area. The sleeve openings are trimmed with black velveteen. The background fabric is white medium weight cotton blend with faint blue accents, it looks almost a 'winter white'.
Additional photos can be found here.
This vintage huipil is in great used condition, with little sign of wear. A wonderfully striking huipil!

2017 Annual Meeting
SC57-Translocations and Mutations and Rearrangements, Oh My! The Practical Application of Molecular Techniquest in Gynecologic Pathology
March 9 2017, 8:00am to 11:30am
SC 57 Translocations and Mutations and Rearrangements, Oh my! The practical application of molecular techniques in gynecologic pathology
Session Credits: 3 CME and 3 SAMs
Faculty: Debra A. Bell, MD and Sarah E. Kerr, MD, Mayo Clinic and Mayo Medical School, Rochester, MN
Every new issue of every pathology journal is filled with articles that describe important molecular alterations in old and new entities. Unfortunately, such exciting articles rarely include details on the indications for and limitations of such testing in pathology practice. The aim of this course is to present the molecular alterations that are presently of most value in gynecologic surgical pathology with the indications and limitations of the tests. A brief explanation of the techniques will also be presented to aid in understanding them. Representative cases with illustrative ancillary test results will form the basis of the course, illustrating the situations in which such testing is worth the extra time and money, and those in which it is not. These cases will include discussion of issues such such as molecular testing algorithms in gestational trophoblastic disease, the use of FOXL2 mutation analysis to establish the diagnosis of adult granulosa cell tumors, the use of FISH to detect characteristic translocations to differentiate smooth muscle from endometrial stromal tumors, the rationale for universal Lynch syndrome testing, tests to identify unusual tumors of lower uterine segment versus cervical origin, and potential implications of The Cancer Genome Atlas project for gynecologic tumor classification, among others. Materials for each case will be posted for review prior to the meeting.
The course is designed for pathology residents, fellows, and general pathologists as well as pathologists with a special interest in gynecologic pathology.
After completion of this educational activity, the participants should be able to:
- Identify major areas of gynecologic pathology in which molecular alterations are of diagnostic importance
- Discuss specific applications of testing to detect such alterations
- Apply simple algorithms for use of various tests
- Be able to interpret such tests and be aware of their limitations and pitfalls.

Good Soil Trust puts Worcester recycling to good use
Published: 17-02-2017
Giving new purpose to the pallets and wooden boxes that are usually recycled, Worcester, Bosch Group has teamed up with local charity, the Good Soil Trust, to ensure that these sturdy structures are put to a better use as part of the many projects run by the organisation.
Many of the parts arriving at its factory are received on pallets or in wooden crates so, when the Good Soil Trust, which aims to provide a safe, family environment for people who find themselves struggling with life, approached Worcester regarding reusing the pallets as part of its gardening and building projects, the company jumped at the opportunity.
To date, around 100 boxes and pallets have been used as part of the Trust's therapeutic, land-based programme at Top Barn Farm, forming compost bins, raised flower and vegetable beds, and even part of a boat building project.
Nev Morrell, Good Soil Trustee & Farm Manager comments:
"It's fantastic to collaborate with companies like Worcester, Bosch Group and find great new uses for items that would normally just be sent for recycling. We have a wide variety of projects at the farm and there's something that everyone can get involved in. Some of our members struggle with difficulties such as addiction, homelessness and crime so these activities help our members to engage in positive and rewarding tasks.
Carl Arntzen, CEO at Worcester, Bosch Group, added:
"It's been fantastic to see such a simple idea grow and improve the lives of people from the local area. At Worcester, we have a zero to landfill policy in place so recycling is always an important part of our business. To see the pallets and boxes being used in such a positive and creative way has really been a joy."

Prior to patch 2.1, it had a guaranteed Life %, Attack Speed, and Life on Hit bonus allotments, which many players considered a mixed blessing; while it offered a greater degree of longevity, it was lacking the proper damaging power to be worth using in endgame builds, with or without enchanting.

Just north of Luncarty on the A9 is a turning to the right for Stanley. Drive up this road and over to your right very soon you will see the stone standing in front of Over Benchil Farm. Ask permission to view, I found this was readily granted.
This wonderful monolith, over 8 feet tall and aligned roughly E-W, has suffered the indignity of having had a red sandstone sundial plonked on top of it at some point in the past. Unfortunately this is difficult to ignore, and rather ruins what would otherwise be a magnificent megalith. The views are pretty stunning from here, even on a cold wet November day. Visited 13/11/02.

If you have a little money to spend, but not too much, Omaha is the place for you. Take a look at a sampling of family-friendly things to do that costs $25 or less in Omaha:
1. Visit Lauritzen Gardens
Assuming you have kids under the age of 6, you can get into the botanical gardens for $20 with two adults and two children. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for children ages 6-12, and FREE for children younger than 6. Website
2. Movie at Marcus Cinemas
Head to a local Marcus Cinema (Majestic, Midtown and Twin Creek) on Tuesdays for $5 movies – so four of you can go for $20. Plus, if you're a Magical Movie Rewards member, you get free popcorn. Tack on a $2 box of candy and you're still under $25. Website
3. Dinner at Crave with the family
You want a little nicer dinner out with the kiddo than Panera, you say? Head to Crave on Sundays and get a free kids meal with the purchase of an adult entree. There are plenty of entrees $12-$15 range (menu). We've eaten here with the kids before and the wait staff is wonderful with the little ones.
4. Visit Fontenelle Forest
UPDATE: Sorry! Prices have increased at Fontenelle Forest since this post was written. It is now no longer feasible for a family of four to visit for less than $25. Adult admission is $9.50 and children (ages 2-12) are $7.50. However, if you have a child younger than 24 months old, he/she are free. Website
5. Hit an Omaha public pool
You can visit all of the city pools for under $20 for a family of five, even the ultra cool Zorinski Aquatic Center. Pack a picnic and bottles of water, and you're set for an afternoon. The same goes for Council Bluffs public pools, where a family of 5 can get into the awesome Pirate Cove for $25 including use of the water slides.
6. See the Storm Chasers
A family of four can get Berm seat tickets for $6 each (that's seating on the grass), so $24. You time your game right and you can get a better deal. A quick peek saw a promotion on Sundays for FREE Berm ticket with a 2 canned food donations (thanks, Hy-Vee!). So just check out the promotions before you go. Plus, shoot to get there early as the first 50 kids at each game get $1 tickets to the Berm.
7. See the Omaha Rollergirls in action
A family of four can watch these fierce rollerskating women compete for about $20 if you get your tickets early (or $24 if you're a slacker), thanks to kids 10 and younger getting FREE admission.
8. Watch Creighton Teams
Not all Creighton teams have the same price tickets, but you can catch a lot of sports action for cheap if you buy general admission. For a family of four, you can catch a game women's soccer for $22 (men's goes up to $30); softball for $22 (baseball's lowest price for four is $34); women's basketball for $22 (men's …don't get me started); and volleyball for $22. You'll want to get cool Creighton Bluejay apparel before you go!
9. Watch UNO Teams
What's that? Not a Creighton fan? OK. Some teams for the University of Nebraska at Omaha offer cheap tickets (cross hockey off your list). A family of four can see UNO men's soccer for $24; volleyball is $26 (close enough, eh?); and softball for $16. You'll want to fit in, so outfit your family in UNO hats and shirts.
10. Have a blast at the Kroc Center
A family of four can get a day pass for $24 ($7 per adult, $5 per kid). My kids loved – I mean LOVED – the aquatic center with the slides and nifty little lazy river. We went on an Inflatable Friday night, which was added fun. There's a lot to do there in addition to swimming, like open art class, so check it out. Website
11. Ice skate at Motto Mclean
A family of four pass to ice skate on select nights is only $10 ($3 for each additional person). The kicker is that price includes skates and a drink.
12. Skate Daze
Take advantage of Kids Skate Free to get your kids FREE skating during select hours. You'll need to pay for their skate rentals ($3.75 each), as well as your admission and skate rentals – a family of three could swing this. In my opinion, though, it looks like a way better deal to go during Mom's Club if you don't work during the day – $5 gets you into the place, skate rental and the Playdazium. Mom's Club only works on select weekday mornings during the school year.
13. Film Streams
Take in one of the family-friendly films in Film Streams' Forever Young series. A family of four could go for $23 (assuming you're not members; if you are, it's even cheaper!). Adults are $9 and children are $2.50. The films are a mix of classics and new releases, and you can always bet they're entertaining for you as much as they are for your children.
14. Putt Putt Golf (outdoors)
Head to Boulder Creek Amusement Park in Millard and get a round of putt putt in with the littles. Two adults and two kids can play for $25 ($7 for adults, $5.50 for kids). Tricky thing is to get out of there without playing something else.
15. Putt putt golf (indoors)
Try out the glow golf thing at Family Fun Center XL. A family of five can play for about $25 there. It's a glow-in-the-dark, 18-hole course with each game representing a video game hero or heroine.
16. Laser Tag
Got older kids? The Family Fun Center XL is also a good place for laser tag – it was voted Omaha's No. 1 for laser tag. A family of four can run around the three-story arena for $24.
17. Visit the Bellevue Berry Farm
If you go during pumpkin season, a family of four can visit Bellevue Berry Farm on a weekday for $24 (kids 2 and younger are FREE, though). If you go during berry picking season, kids are $3 and parents are free, so if a family with two kids went, you would have plenty leftover of your $25 to picks some major poundage in berries.
18. Old Market Carriage Ride
Take a short carriage ride through the Old Market as a family. For $25, you can take the historic Old Market tour (sorry, that price excludes the fancy schmancy Cinderella carriage).
19. Family Fun Night
Hop on over to KiDS body shop on designated Family Fun Nights for an active outing. Families have access to the pool and air-conditioned gym for about an hour and a half. A family of fivecan do this for less than $25 ($1/adults, $1/children 1 and younger; $5/current KiDS body shop students; and $6 for non-KiDS body shop students).
20. Mahoney State Park
OK, this one's not in Omaha metro area, but I love the place and it's cheap, so deal with it. You kids can run wild at the Activity Center for cheap – a family of four can get in for $8. Add to it a daily park entry fee of $5, and you have plenty leftover to buy snacks. Or, pack a picnic and save the money for a half-hour paddle boat for four people, which is $8.
21. See a Big Big Movie
Omaha's zoo has the Lozier IMAX® Theater where you can see exciting family-friendly movies (some in 3D). If you're a member, score! It's free for you. If you're not, a family of four can get tickets for $22.
21. Visit the Planetarium
Bring the kiddos explore space at the University of Nebraska at Omaha Mallory Kountze Planetarium. Admission is only $3, so you can keep things well under $25 (unless you're a family of nine, then sorry). Public shows exploring seasonal and current astronomical events are usually the first weekend (Friday and Saturday) of each month. Sometimes they offer rooftop observing after the shows.
23. Bowling
This one you'll have to do a little legwork first. Sign your kids up for the Kids Bowl Free program (info here) and see which bowling alley nearest you is a program participant. Your kids get two free games a day all summer long. Pay a one-time fee for yourself to bowl (and shoe rentals for all), or opt to buy the family pass – last year it was $24.95 and it allowed two games per person per day, covering up to four adult family members.
24. Visit Ditmars Orchard
OK, OK. Ditmars Orchard is also not in Omaha, but it's close enough being in Council Bluffs. Pretty much, a family of six can visit here on the weekend as kids wristbands are $5 each and adults are $2 each. That said, if you go on a weekday, it's even cheaper (saving you money to buy some of those yummy apple donuts). This price only includes all of the activities there though if you plan on picking apples, know that you'll be paying more during your visit.
25. Get Creative Together
If you're in the Elkhorn area, head to CREATE for a drop-in project. While there isn't a set range for, say, a family of four, you can each pick a project for around $8. I can see it being tempting to do a more expensive project, though.
Your turn: What else can be added to this list? What's missing?
