It's that time of year again when we drop all that have planned over the weekend to take part in watching the world's most respected race – 24 Hours du Le Mans. This marks the 82nd running of the world famous race, and man does it have some exciting news for this year.
What's new for this year?
This year is the first for three top manufactures going all out to claim the top spot. This year marks the return of Porsche, running two factory LMP1 hybrid race cars set out to battle Toyota and the reigning champions, Audi. On top of that, the ACO organizers have imposed rules stating that top-tier LMP1 cars (just listed) will have to run this year's race using roughly 30% less fuel than that of last year, which will be monitored live throughout the entire race. Let's introduce the contenders.
Audi's R18 E-tron quattro will run a 4 liter, turbo diesel V6 engine with flywheel hybrid technology (combined power of nearly 770HP)
Toyota's TS040 will run a naturally aspirated V8 supplemented by a supercapacitor hybrid storage/deliver unit (combined power of 1000HP)
Porsche's 919 will run a turbo V4 (yes, V4 motor) with an energy recovery system (ERS) hybrid system (combined power of nearly 800HP)
Garage 56 entry, which is designed for experimental cars, has been taken by Nissan's ZEOD and will be piloted by Nissan PlayStation GT Academy winner Lucas Ordóñez. We hope this car can make it to the end.
Corvette Racing will be returning for their 15th anniversary of running at Le Mans with guest driver Jordan Taylor, who will join Jan Magnussen and Antonio Garcia to battle the GTE-Pro category for the top step.
Dempsey Racing is back this year, but fielding a car produced by Proton featuring an all American team of Patrick Dempsey, Joe Foster and Patrick Long
As for the track the Ford Chicane now features rather beefy 'baguette' inner curbs to dissuade corner cutting (and the subsequent massive intrusion of gravel onto the track surface).

Good luck with that. The problem is that when the driver creates the thread it does so when the current class loader is the web application class loader. That means that the Thread will be created with a context class loader set to the web application class loader. That will trigger a memory leak when the web application is stopped because a reference is retained to the web application's class loader. What the driver should do is, after it creates the thread, set the thread's context class loader to the class loader that loaded the driver. What you are seeing is a variation of the leak described on page 15 of [1].

Kathryn Bigelow's 1991 cult classic "Point Break" has already been remade once before with "The Fast and the Furious" (if not in name, then certainly in spirit), but whereas that film retained many of the key elements that made "Point Break" so enjoyable, the 2015 version – which coincidentally is directed by Ericson Core, the cinematographer on the first "Fast and Furious" – is an overly serious dud. Though replacing Californian surf culture with the high-adrenaline world of extreme sports was a smart choice by writer Kurt Wimmer, the movie is hindered by an overbearing stream of hokey Zen philosophy and a paltry story that cares less about its characters than what cool stunt they get to do next.
Luke Bracey stars as Johnny Utah, an extreme sports poly-athlete who joins the FBI after his best friend dies in a motocross accident. Desperate to prove to his academy instructor (Delroy Lindo) that he's ready for field duty, Johnny volunteers to go undercover to investigate a gang of fellow extreme athletes posing as modern day Robin Hoods who steal from the rich and give to the poor. Johnny believes that the group, led by the enigmatic Bodhi (Édgar Ramírez), is attempting to complete The Ozaki 8 – a series of trials created to honor the forces of nature and deliver spiritual enlightenment – which they're using to rationalize their crimes. They don't view themselves as criminals, but rather as righteous eco-activists who give back to the planet by returning something that was taken from it (like raining diamonds onto the streets of Mumbai) after each death-defying ordeal. But as Johnny's admiration for Bodhi grows the closer he gets to the idealistic daredevil, he must decide where his true loyalties lie.

MILLBURN, NJ -- The Millburn Zoning Board of Adjustment continued its hearings of the Chai Center during Monday's meeting. The Chai Center has proposed the construction of a house of worship at 1-7 Jefferson Avenue in Short Hills. The meetings in regard to this application have gone on for several months and have provoked serious opposition from many of the residents of Millburn/Short Hills, chiefly Mr. and Mrs. Gambino whose property neighbors the site and The Concerned Neighborhood Association of Millburn Township, Inc.
On Monday, the applicant submitted revised plans as per requests from the Board during the last meeting on May 2nd. According to Larry Kron, attorney for the Chai Center, the only "contention at this point is the variance we require is the D3" which is the ordinance that states that a house of worship must be built on a 3 - acre lot. The Jefferson Avenue property is only 1.8 acres. Mr. Kron proceeded by asking the Board if this could be confirmed, but Board Chairman, Steinberg told Mr. Kron after consulting with Board Attorney, Fraser, that the applicant should proceed with its case based on what the zoning officer had told them.
Mr. Kron brought forward Mr. Paul Gleitz who is the planner for the applicant, as his final witness, to provide testimony regarding the changes made to the plan. Among some of the changes made was the inclusion of a 20 ft. emergency egress out of the parking lot as suggested by Board Member Manshel. During his testimony, Mr. Gleitz informed the Board that the new plan would include increased noise buffers with landscaping and a reduced building height. He reiterated Kron's statement that the applicant now only needed one variance in terms of the lot size. To this end, he shared information regarding laws surrounding houses of worship and their "inherently beneficial" nature to a neighborhood by way of community gatherings, education, and service, among other things. According to Mr. Gleitz, therefore, the onus is not on the applicant to prove its benefits to the neighborhood but rather any negative impact it may have. He then testified that he sees no negative impact.
The opposition's attorney, Mr. Lamb, first cross examined Mr. Gleitz on his testimony regarding the changes to the plans. Mr. Lamb continued to ask Mr. Gleitz whether the location of a building could be "detrimental to an adjacent property," even if all variances were approved. Mr. Steinberg stepped in however, first to tell Mr. Lamb that he did not see "the point of the question," and then to say that if the Board determined that the applicant can build at the site, it "wouldn't matter whether your client liked it or not."
Mr. Lamb then continued on another line of questioning that Mr. Steinberg later interrupted. Lamb asked Gleitz if the new buffers took into account the trees and roots of the neighboring Gambino property. Mr. Gleitz explained that according to the law, landscaping plans will work around the existing trees and then offered to change the landscaping plan if it was required.
The applicant, Rabbi Mendel Bogomilsky advised Mr. Kron that he would be willing to have the Gambinos review the landscaping plans in order to come to an agreement regarding the installment of the new landscaping. This did not seem to satisfy Mr. Lamb who continued this line of questioning much to the evident frustration of the members of the Board. Mr. Steinberg finally interrupted to say that the witness was "brought on as a planning witness and not as an arborist or a landscaper. . . so get on with it." Ms. Fraser did assure both parties by saying that the Board has sent out a forester to work with applicants in the past to ensure that there is no disturbance to the landscaping of neighboring properties.
Since the opposition's attorney, Kevin Coakley, had not previously cross examined Mr. Gleitz, he began his questioning on Monday night. Mr. Coakley presented elements from Mr. Gleitz's original testimony with particular regard to other houses of worship that the applicant has looked to for Board approvals. Mr. Coakley informed Mr. Gleitz that of all of the houses of worship presented that were on lots smaller than 3 acres, most were built before 1902.Coakley also stated that the law regarding the 3- acre lot size was first implemented in 1984.
One of Coakley's main areas of focus in his questioning was related to parking. He asked several questions of Mr. Gleitz about a tandem parking area or street parking, but Mr. Gleitz felt that they "are relying on the improved 50 spaces." Gleitz also shared the fact that as an Orthodox Jewish center, the growth of the congregation over time would probably be limited, and many members of the congregation would be encouraged to walk which would limit the impact of traffic and parking.
Coakley also asked Gleitz about the number of doors within the structure. According to the architect's testimony during previous meetings, only one door was necessary, but there are four 6 ft. doors proposed. Gleitz agreed that by law only one door was necessary, but reminded everyone, "We're not dealing with a school cafeteria, this is a sanctuary, a sacred place." According to Gleitz, the added doors could be not only for esthetic purposes, but might also allow for a "more stately flow".
Coakley ended this portion of his cross examination there at 11 PM and will continue at the next meeting on August 22nd. Mr. Steinberg made a formal announcement about the meeting and added that the Board might have to hear some other residential case but assured everyone in attendance, "We're going to get finished with this case."

D-III Women's Basketball Notebook
Dec. 10, 2008
By Amy Farnum Novin
ON THE PROWL: Kean University's women's basketball team claimed the No. 1 ranking in the latest USA Today/ESPN Division III Top 25 after improving its record to 6-0 while the previous No. 1 and No. 2 teams, UW-Whitewater and Oglethorpe, suffered their first losses of the season last week.
The No. 1 ranking is the first time a Kean athletic team has claimed the top spot in any poll since the 1993 men's soccer team accomplished the feat.
The Cougars turned back Richard Stockton and Rutgers-Newark in New Jersey Athletic Conference action to remain unbeaten. They will immediately be tested against nationally-ranked foes as Kean hosts No. 7 Messiah on Dec. 10, and travels to No. 14 Mary Washington on Dec. 13.
GOOD AS 'GOLDS: UW-Eau Claire's Heidi Arciszewski was named Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Player of the Week as the Blugolds picked up two more victories and jumped three spots to No. 10 in the latest USA Today/ESPN Division III Top 25.
The senior guard tallied 15 points and eight rebounds in a 67-52 win over Division II Minnesota-Duluth, and followed it up with a career-high 31 points and seven rebounds as the Blugolds downed UW-Stout, 73-68, in the WIAC season-opener.
Arciszewski's 31 points against the Blue Devils is the highest single-game total in the WIAC this season. She also tied a school record for most free throws made as she connected on 16-of-16 in the contest. The native of Thorp, Wis., leads the team with 18.9 points and six rebounds per game.
GOTTA HAVE HOPE: Second-ranked Hope College continued its dominance in the regular season as the Flying Dutch stretched its winning streak to 28 games with a win over Alma on Dec. 6 in Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association play.
The regular season winning streak has spanned three years, and Hope has defeated 20 straight conference opponents.
Hope leads the MIAA in scoring offense (75.8 ppg), scoring defense (57.4 ppg) and scoring margin (18.4 ppg). Carrie Snikkers and Courtney Knox as the Flying Dutch's top two leading scorers with 13.0 and 11.0 points per game, respectively. They have each notched double-digits in five straight games.
NOTABLE: After upsetting then-No. 2 Oglethorpe last week, Emory has worked its way into the national rankings for the first time since the 1999-2000 season. The Eagles are No. 23 in the D3hoops.com Top 25. Emory did suffer its first loss of the season to Maryville on Dec. 6 following the huge victory despite getting 15 points and eight rebounds from senior Lora Turner. During her sixth double-figure scoring performance of the season, Turner became only the seventh player in school history to reach 1,000 career points … After earning weekly awards from the ECAC Division III Metro and University Athletic Association for her outstanding play last week, Jessica McEntee returned to the court with 23 points and 11 rebounds in a convincing 81-49 victory over Drew University on Dec. 9. The senior forward from Flushing, N.Y., paces the UAA with 20.8 points and 15.7 rebounds per game. The Violets are now 8-0 on the year, and ranked No. 13 in the latest USA Today/ESPN Division III Top 25.

(H 38-5/8" W 21-5/8" X D 13-3/4") I'm fond of word play and here I designed a cabinet to use some mahogany I had left over from a commission and spotted an opportunity to play a verbal joke. Mahogany is the timber associated with names like Chippendale, Hepplewhite, Sheraton, et cetera from the late 1700s and onwards into the twentieth century. Even today there is a large demand for genuine 18th century antiques and reproduction furniture. Much of this furniture was, and still is, decorated with veneered panels frequently of crotch mahogany cut from where the trunk and a branch of a tree intersect. My solid mahogany planks didn't contain any of this prized cut, but I saw an opportunity to incorporate a crotch in my cabinet, and did so in tongue-in-cheek homage to those historical giants of furniture making. A small cabinet was the result and it visually appears to grow out of the ground due to the slight curve in the carcass sides. I added a second joke in the joinery I chose to assemble the piece. How on earth do those impossible looking dovetails at the top corners go together?

Rangoon Road seems like the new spot where all the hipsters could converge, as more and more cafes start to line up along this particular enclave, such as the likes of La Coffee, Old Hen, GRUB noodle bar and Woodshed 204.
Jewel is not new to this scene as this outlet is its an extension of its successful artisanal coffee outlet, Jewel Coffee at 1 Shenton Way. Known for its coffee, Jewel aims to expand its menu to more than just coffee, serving up mains and brunch in this 2-storey outlet along Rangoon Road.
The Place
Despite multiple visits to Rangoon Road, I have never taken notice of the presence of Jewel, and was in fact taken aback when I realized that they were situated in this very happening area. Situated on the opposite side of the road from Old Hen, Founder's BKT and Woodshed, it is no wonder why I haven't realized their existence until I happened to be on the other side of the road one fine day.
Located just beside the new yogurt place, The Cold Pantry, Jewel Cafe takes on a chic and industrial look, which I thought separates them from their counterparts within this enclave. The main reason why we decided to walk into Jewel was because they had free wifi, and it happened to be a Thursday on that day. Why Thursday?
1 for 1 Pastas!!!! Who could possibly resist?!
Jewel Cafe occupies a rather large space, in fact it's one of the more spacious cafes I've been to. In addition to its 2-storey high cafe, they also have outdoor seating where smoking is allowed! Pretty thoughtful and a good use of space.
The outdoor seating!
A communal table for sharing or to fit large groups of diners!
Pretty bronze hexagons on the ceiling, giving it a very rustic and industrial look.
Check out their pretty UPPER floor and the first floor here!

The Food
Besides serving coffee, the menu also includes mains, brunch and even desserts! Here's a look at the menu! Their mains look really, really enticing, I would love to try them one day! Since it was a Thursday, we focused on the pasta menu instead! I didn't know why nothing on the menu excited me on that day, maybe because I already had lunch, but looking at it now, just makes my tummy rumble. We eventually decided to order a Mushroom Medley Pasta and a Chili Crab Pasta!Mushroom Medley Pasta ($16++): Linguine tossed with garlic confit oil, topped with medley of FIVE mushrooms, truffle oil and aged parmesan cheese. What drew us to this dish were the words, MUSHROOM and TRUFFLE. 2 of the best things in this universe. And when they call this a mushroom medley, they were definitely serious about it because this dish is what all mushroom lovers dream of. The mushrooms were succulent and juicy, and went absolutely well with the garlic confit oil. The pasta was the textbook definition of al dente, and really, we were very impressed with this. I couldn't stop myself from just having a few mouthfuls!
Chili Crab Pasta ($20++): Linguine tossed in homemade spicy chili crab sauce garnished with mantou. I thought the sauce tasted weird initially, but it kinda grew on me after awhile. I thought there was a gingery taste in the sauce on my first try, but it got pretty addictive towards the end. Not exactly a dish that's worth $20 I would say, but a good try on the fusion dish. And here's Rainbo on his virgin photoshoot with my food. Hahaha! I LOVE THE MUSHROOM MEDLEY PASTA!
Oh before I forget here's my iced mocha, one of the better ones I've had. I have no idea what beans they used, or whatsoever, If you realized, I drink a lot of coffee, but I'm not an expert on describing the taste of coffee, or how different blends and beans taste like. All I can tell is, if it's good or bad, and this cup of iced mocha was definitely on the point. A perfect blend of coffee and chocolate, and the flavor stayed strong even when the ice were melted. A good measure of the quality of coffee to me!
Closing Remarks
I thought Jewel cafe had quite a conducive space to chill and to get some work done. The ambience was laidback, they served amazing coffee and the free wifi was definitely a plus in my books! Besides, both pastas we had were more than satisfactory! I wonder what would the rest of their mains be like! Jewel cafe is definitely THE cafe to visit when you're around the area of Rangoon Road. A pity that they don't serve cakes, or else they would be just PERFECT.

Don't know if this is anything at all, but the name spelled Bayley seems to have links to Newbury, MA.Bailey seems to link to Hanover, PA and in my case into Harpswell, Maine.
After re-reading your message I don't think my family had anything to do with the Rev. War.
There was a Joseph BAYLEY who was born c1718 in Newbury, Essex Co., MA son of Joshua Bayley who married in 1755 to Apphia BARTLETT of Newbury.She was a daugh. of Samuel Bartlett and Judith COFFIN.
Another BAYLEY I have is Mrs. Abigail (Hills) BAYLEY (who was the widow of a Bayley whose name I don't have), but she was the daughter of Benjamin Hills and Rebecca ORDWAY.
Abigail married Caleb MOODY, Jr. in Newbury, MA in 1756.
I don't know if you've read this in your research, but during the Rev., George Washington appointed a Mr. ALLEN as an Indian Agent to go to into Canada to recruit Indians to help us fight against the Brits.Mr. Allen (John I think his name was),recruited many Micmac Indians and possibly others from other tribes.
Just thought I'd add that in case you hadn't seen it.
Many of the St. Francis Indians moved to MA and some into Maine and merged with other tribes.Its hard tracing Indian heritage. I've been at it solidly for 2 years and have found very little.
Good Luck to you.

Report: Electric Cars Will Cut Gas Demand by as Much as 20% in the Next 20 Years
A new report by energy consulting firm Wood Mackenzie has found that, depending on how thoroughly the drivers of the US adopt electric vehicles, demand for gasoline is expected to drop by at least 5% to as much as 20% in the next 20 years.
In terms of sheer numbers of gasoline barrels bought per day, the US currently uses more than nine million barrels of gasoline each day. If electric cars manage to reach 35% market shares by 2035, that number might be cut drastically down to two million barrels per day.
This report is more optimistic in favor of electric vehicles than other reports we have seen, although this may possibly be due to optimism generated by the strong response to the reveal of the Tesla Model 3 and the introduction this year of Chevy's affordable long-range electric car, the Bolt. This is also interestingly optimistic given that low fuel prices and limited battery sizes have currently been keeping sales low.
On the other hand, automakers have been rapidly improving their electric vehicles, thanks in part to increasingly strict emissions rules in Europe, China, and the United States. Also, more and more automakers are building their own electric fleets.
All in all, this report seems to paint a fairly grave picture for the oil companies. However, the report predicted that, rather than disappearing, gas companies will simply shift production to delivering more natural gas to power companies that need to keep up with the increased demand for electricity.

I wasn't sure if I should write about today.
But writing helps me heal.
So I chose to write.
March 27th. Mama's Sad Day. At least that's what my kids call it. I try to not be sad. But I can't help it. I.just.am.
March 27, 2001 my father passed away. He was 47. I was 21. I had a unique and close relationship with him. We just got each other. It was hard to lose him. Painfully hard. Words can't be uttered how painfully hard.
He would be 57 and I am 31. How much has changed through this past decade. I have overcome. I have fallen. I have made mistakes and I have had achievements. This decade was the decade of my life where there were the most changes. And he didn't get to walk me through them. And I miss him.
Some of his last words sent to me were "get your life straight, Julie". They were very few in number. But I knew. I knew his heart. And I knew there were so many more words behind those few.
This year I am making some big choices. Really big choices. And I often think. What would he think? Would he feel that I finally 'got my life straight'? I hope he would. I think he would.
I know he would rejoice that I went to the Lord in repentance and am serving Him faithfully each day.
I know he would be heartbroken knowing the abuse I went through with my marriage.
I know he would adore my children. He would love them and my nieces like no other grandpa could.
I know he would be so proud that I am finishing my education.
I know he would still tickle me. And I would still get mad.
I know he would still pick me up and give me the biggest bear hugs. ever.
I know he would still love me. and even like me.
I know we would still argue. Just for fun. And he would let me win.
I know we would still be friends. Like only a father and daughter could be.
I know I will never.ever. stop missing him. 'Cause I still need him.
10 years ago today I was woken to be told the news that my dad had passed away. An hour later I would be at the funeral home planning his funeral.
10 years ago today, my life as I knew it came to a crashing halt.
10 years ago today I didn't think I could live another day. And yet I did.
This morning was beautiful. It was cold.frigid.crisp. Wind biting cold. I dropped the kids off at Sunday School. I told them I needed to go to the cemetery. And they knew. It was Mama's sad day. And they understood.
I went to the cemetery. Dreading and yet needing.
I knew the landscape well. I had spent many hours in this cemetery as a child planting flowers at ancestor's gravesides. It is a beautiful cemetery. Quiet.Peaceful.Sentimental. A perfect setting for those who mourn.
I walked up to his grave. The path well known and fell to my knees in tears. The ground was cold and hard. And I wept. For the years lost. And the lost future without him.
As I laid on the ground weeping I cried out to my heavenly Father. I needed comfort. I had a request. A private request. I looked up to the skies begging God for an answer. Telling Him I needed this one desire of my heart to be filled. In that instant the clouds broke open and the sun shone upon my face. I knew then that God was telling me everything would be perfect in His time.
When we were leaving church this afternoon, Rhianna skipped up to me and slipped her hand in mine. "Mama. How was it? How was your time in the cemetery?"
I am so blessed. So blessed to have children who know. And understand. That sometimes Mama needs to weep alone in the cemetery. On her sad days.
And other things I never thought I would say until I became a mother! Sharing the adventures I have as a single mom and glorifying God through it all.

County Commissioner, Dist I
Eleanor McAdams
Also a political newcomer, Eleanor McAdams, 58, is concerned about the county's wastewater utility. "The wastewater issue is extremely important to me. We've been waiting 20 years for this and now here we are in the eleventh hour and it's still not right. I think I
can help," she said. In addition, she plans to work on habitat conservation and worker housing solutions.
George Neugent
Mosquito Control, Dist II
lynda "Captain" Schuh
A Keys resident for almost 30 years, Lynda "Captain" Schuh has experience in a wide variety of fields: hospitality, culinary arts and marine science. The 67-year-old
is very specific about her reasons for running: "The expenditures and lack of transparency of the board; concern about public health; concern about the use of adulticides without educating the public; and knowing I have the skills, intelligence, common sense and desire to make a difference."
Phil Goodman
Phil Goodman, 66, spent 40 years in the chemical industry and has served on the Mosquito Control Board, Marine and Port Advisory Council and Emergency Response Preparation team.
He said, "Being a chemist and businessman for more than 40 years, I felt I had a skill set that could help the District," he said. "Our focus must change from
a labor-intensive organization
to a technology-intensive organization …"
Roger Cousineau
Originally from Maine, Roger Cousineau is a former real estate agent and school teacher. The 55-year-old beekeeper said he is especially attuned to the fragile ecosystem. He said he would support, and improve upon, "environmentally sound mosquito control practices to limit the
need and reliance on chemical pesticides. Larvicide is not a pesticide but a naturally occurring bacteria that's deadly to mosquitoes but harmless to people."
Mosquito Control, Dis. V
Geoff Bailey
Geoff Bailey, 43, is a veterinarian practicing in the Florida Keys. He said he believes in introducing mosquitoes that are genetically modified so that they cannot produce viable offspring. "Not only should this greatly bring down the district's operation expenses, but also allows
for safer and more effective mosquito control," he said.
Thomas 'Tom' r. McDonald
If elected, this will be Tom McDonald's second term serving the Mosquito Control District. The 68-year-old held office from 1994 to 1998 and said he wants to return to the board to offer his accounting services. "My friends and associates have asked me to return to office," he said. "I would like to do cost and benefit analysis of new innovations to help improve efficiency and reduce costs."[vision_divider style="hr-solid-double"]
Monroe County Circuit Court Judge, Group 4
Bonnie J. Helms
An attorney and mediator, Bonnie Helms said she is seeking office to help families. "I see struggling families everyday seeking sensible resolutions," she
said. "Unfortunately, the court process is not always helpful." The 49-year-old said that if she is elected she plans to efficiently manage the case load as well as promote mediation.
Jack Bridges
Jack Bridges, 46, is a very involved member of the community, serving on various boards including the Mosquito Control Board. The 46-year-old said he can make a difference by running a courtroom efficiently. "Nothing is more frustrating than to walk into court and have the judge say 'Now, what are we here for?'" He said he also wants to establish juvenile probation follow-up days.

We purchased an all aluminum teardrop shell awhile back we've been playing with in our spare time. The previous owner who started the project just lost interest so his loss was our gain and we got it for cheap (especially considering the price of materials). Custom steel frame, aluminum channel frame and 0.125 solid aluminum sheet for the floor/sides/roof.
It's been a fun tho frustrating project at times converting his initial vision to ours. First off I took it off the 4.5 x 10 frame,I welded in some new supports etc, powder coated it, ran conduit for 12v/120v wiring, and then put the aluminum shell back on. The guy who started it had good intentions but the aluminum welds were done with a mig welder so I had a friend teach and me how to tig and off we went shoring everything up.
As we're getting to the end of this journey my better half really wants to use canvas for the exterior. I feel this is could be a good idea because it'll hide imperfections of the aluminum and look nice (love the texture!). Originally I was thinking vinyl wrap but the amount of work to massage the exterior so as to not look bad and highlight imperfections plus the cost from local venders seemed prohibitive. I've done loads of work with fiberglass in my previous car audio days so that was an option but again depending on the quality of matt/resin can be expensive plus the cost of paint/clear coat. However after the wife saw some of the amazing canvas builds on this forum she was sold!
My thought was to sand/clean/prep the aluminum, perhaps use a self etching primer immediately after to prohibit oxidation? Then contact cement to adhere the canvas to the aluminum. Latex paint to soak up the canvas, Interlux primer and topside paint to finish as others have done with great success here. It's going to be garage kept (FL) and I feel like we'll be okay. I guess I just worry about long term adhesion of the canvas shell to the aluminum without breaking the bank.

one or more keyword/value pairs may be listed
keyword = mesh or order or order/disp or mix/disp or overlap or minorder or force or gewald or gewald/disp or slab or (nozforce* or compute or cutoff/adjust or fftbench or collective or diff or kmax/ewald or force/disp/real or force/disp/kspace or splittol or disp/auto:l mesh value = x y z x,y,z = grid size in each dimension for long-range Coulombics mesh/disp value = x y z x,y,z = grid size in each dimension for 1/r^6 dispersion order value = N N = extent of Gaussian for PPPM or MSM mapping of charge to grid order/disp value = N N = extent of Gaussian for PPPM mapping of dispersion term to grid mix/disp value = pair or geom or none overlap = yes or no = whether the grid stencil for PPPM is allowed to overlap into more than the nearest-neighbor processor minorder value = M M = min allowed extent of Gaussian when auto-adjusting to minimize grid communication force value = accuracy (force units) gewald value = rinv (1/distance units) rinv = G-ewald parameter for Coulombics gewald/disp value = rinv (1/distance units) rinv = G-ewald parameter for dispersion slab value = volfactor or nozforce volfactor = ratio of the total extended volume used in the 2d approximation compared with the volume of the simulation domain nozforce turns off kspace forces in the z direction compute value = yes or no cutoff/adjust value = yes or no pressure/scalar value = yes or no fftbench value = yes or no collective value = yes or no diff value = ad or ik = 2 or 4 FFTs for PPPM in smoothed or non-smoothed mode kmax/ewald value = kx ky kz kx,ky,kz = number of Ewald sum kspace vectors in each dimension force/disp/real value = accuracy (force units) force/disp/kspace value = accuracy (force units) splittol value = tol tol = relative size of two eigenvalues (see discussion below) disp/auto value = yes or no
kspace_modify mesh 24 24 30 order 6
kspace_modify slab 3.0
Set parameters used by the kspace solvers defined by the kspace_style command. Not all parameters are relevant to all kspace styles.
The mesh keyword sets the grid size for kspace style pppm or msm. In the case of PPPM, this is the FFT mesh, and each dimension must be factorizable into powers of 2, 3, and 5. In the case of MSM, this is the finest scale real-space mesh, and each dimension must be factorizable into powers of 2. When this option is not set, the PPPM or MSM solver chooses its own grid size, consistent with the user-specified accuracy and pairwise cutoff. Values for x,y,z of 0,0,0 unset the option.
The mesh/disp keyword sets the grid size for kspace style pppm/disp. This is the FFT mesh for long-range dispersion and ach dimension must be factorizable into powers of 2, 3, and 5. When this option is not set, the PPPM solver chooses its own grid size, consistent with the user-specified accuracy and pairwise cutoff. Values for x,y,z of 0,0,0 unset the option.
The order keyword determines how many grid spacings an atom's charge extends when it is mapped to the grid in kspace style pppm or msm. The default for this parameter is 5 for PPPM and 8 for MSM, which means each charge spans 5 or 8 grid cells in each dimension, respectively. For the LAMMPS implementation of MSM, the order can range from 4 to 10 and must be even. For PPPM, the minimum allowed setting is 2 and the maximum allowed setting is 7. The larger the value of this parameter, the smaller that LAMMPS will set the grid size, to achieve the requested accuracy. Conversely, the smaller the order value, the larger the grid size will be. Note that there is an inherent trade-off involved: a small grid will lower the cost of FFTs or MSM direct sum, but a larger order parameter will increase the cost of interpolating charge/fields to/from the grid.
The order/disp keyword determines how many grid spacings an atom's dispersion term extends when it is mapped to the grid in kspace style pppm/disp. It has the same meaning as the order setting for Coulombics.
The overlap keyword can be used in conjunction with the minorder keyword with the PPPM styles to adjust the amount of communication that occurs when values on the FFT grid are exchanged between processors. This communication is distinct from the communication inherent in the parallel FFTs themselves, and is required because processors interpolate charge and field values using grid point values owned by neighboring processors (i.e. ghost point communication). If the overlap keyword is set to yes then this communication is allowed to extend beyond nearest-neighbor processors, e.g. when using lots of processors on a small problem. If it is set to no then the communication will be limited to nearest-neighbor processors and the order setting will be reduced if necessary, as explained by the minorder keyword discussion. The overlap keyword is always set to yes in MSM.
The minorder keyword allows LAMMPS to reduce the order setting if necessary to keep the communication of ghost grid point limited to exchanges between nearest-neighbor processors. See the discussion of the overlap keyword for details. If the overlap keyword is set to yes, which is the default, this is never needed. If it set to no and overlap occurs, then LAMMPS will reduce the order setting, one step at a time, until the ghost grid overlap only extends to nearest neighbor processors. The minorder keyword limits how small the order setting can become. The minimum allowed value for PPPM is 2, which is the default. If minorder is set to the same value as order then no reduction is allowed, and LAMMPS will generate an error if the grid communication is non-nearest-neighbor and overlap is set to no. The minorder keyword is not currently supported in MSM.
The PPPM order parameter may be reset by LAMMPS when it sets up the FFT grid if the implied grid stencil extends beyond the grid cells owned by neighboring processors. Typically this will only occur when small problems are run on large numbers of processors. A warning will be generated indicating the order parameter is being reduced to allow LAMMPS to run the problem. Automatic adjustment of the order parameter is not supported in MSM.
The force keyword overrides the relative accuracy parameter set by the kspace_style command with an absolute accuracy. The accuracy determines the RMS error in per-atom forces calculated by the long-range solver and is thus specified in force units. A negative value for the accuracy setting means to use the relative accuracy parameter. The accuracy setting is used in conjunction with the pairwise cutoff to determine the number of K-space vectors for style ewald, the FFT grid size for style pppm, or the real space grid size for style msm.
The gewald keyword sets the value of the Ewald or PPPM G-ewald parameter for charge as rinv in reciprocal distance units. Without this setting, LAMMPS chooses the parameter automatically as a function of cutoff, precision, grid spacing, etc. This means it can vary from one simulation to the next which may not be desirable for matching a KSpace solver to a pre-tabulated pairwise potential. This setting can also be useful if Ewald or PPPM fails to choose a good grid spacing and G-ewald parameter automatically. If the value is set to 0.0, LAMMPS will choose the G-ewald parameter automatically. MSM does not use the gewald parameter.
The gewald/disp keyword sets the value of the Ewald or PPPM G-ewald parameter for dispersion as rinv in reciprocal distance units. It has the same meaning as the gewald setting for Coulombics.
The slab keyword allows an Ewald or PPPM solver to be used for a systems that are periodic in x,y but non-periodic in z - a boundary setting of "boundary p p f". This is done by treating the system as if it were periodic in z, but inserting empty volume between atom slabs and removing dipole inter-slab interactions so that slab-slab interactions are effectively turned off. The volfactor value sets the ratio of the extended dimension in z divided by the actual dimension in z. The recommended value is 3.0. A larger value is inefficient; a smaller value introduces unwanted slab-slab interactions. The use of fixed boundaries in z means that the user must prevent particle migration beyond the initial z-bounds, typically by providing a wall-style fix. The methodology behind the slab option is explained in the paper by (Yeh). The slab option is also extended to non-neutral systems (Ballenegger).
An alternative slab option can be invoked with the nozforce keyword in lieu of the volfactor. This turns off all kspace forces in the z direction. The nozforce option is not supported by MSM. For MSM, any combination of periodic, non-periodic, or shrink-wrapped boundaries can be set using boundary (the slab approximation in not needed). The slab keyword is not currently supported by Ewald or PPPM when using a triclinic simulation cell. The slab correction has also been extended to point dipole interactions (Klapp) in kspace_style ewald/disp.
If you wish to apply an electric field in the Z-direction, in conjunction with the slab keyword, you should do it by adding explicit charged particles to the +/- Z surfaces. If you do it via the fix efield command, it will not give the correct dielectric constant due to the Yeh/Berkowitz (Yeh) correction not being compatible with how fix efield works.
The compute keyword allows Kspace computations to be turned off, even though a kspace_style is defined. This is not useful for running a real simulation, but can be useful for debugging purposes or for computing only partial forces that do not include the Kspace contribution. You can also do this by simply not defining a kspace_style, but a Kspace-compatible pair_style requires a kspace style to be defined. This keyword gives you that option.
The cutoff/adjust keyword applies only to MSM. If this option is turned on, the Coulombic cutoff will be automatically adjusted at the beginning of the run to give the desired estimated error. Other cutoffs such as LJ will not be affected. If the grid is not set using the mesh command, this command will also attempt to use the optimal grid that minimizes cost using an estimate given by (Hardy). Note that this cost estimate is not exact, somewhat experimental, and still may not yield the optimal parameters.
The pressure/scalar keyword applies only to MSM. If this option is turned on, only the scalar pressure (i.e. (Pxx + Pyy + Pzz)/3.0) will be computed, which can be used, for example, to run an isotropic barostat. Computing the full pressure tensor with MSM is expensive, and this option provides a faster alternative. The scalar pressure is computed using a relationship between the Coulombic energy and pressure (Hummer) instead of using the virial equation. This option cannot be used to access individual components of the pressure tensor, to compute per-atom virial, or with suffix kspace/pair styles of MSM, like OMP or GPU.
The fftbench keyword applies only to PPPM. It is off by default. If this option is turned on, LAMMPS will perform a short FFT benchmark computation and report its timings, and will thus finish a some seconds later than it would if this option were off.
The collective keyword applies only to PPPM. It is set to no by default, except on IBM BlueGene machines. If this option is set to yes, LAMMPS will use MPI collective operations to remap data for 3d-FFT operations instead of the default point-to-point communication. This is faster on IBM BlueGene machines, and may also be faster on other machines if they have an efficient implementation of MPI collective operations and adequate hardware.
The diff keyword specifies the differentiation scheme used by the PPPM method to compute forces on particles given electrostatic potentials on the PPPM mesh. The ik approach is the default for PPPM and is the original formulation used in (Hockney). It performs differentiation in Kspace, and uses 3 FFTs to transfer each component of the computed fields back to real space for total of 4 FFTs per timestep.
The analytic differentiation ad approach uses only 1 FFT to transfer information back to real space for a total of 2 FFTs per timestep. It then performs analytic differentiation on the single quantity to generate the 3 components of the electric field at each grid point. This is sometimes referred to as "smoothed" PPPM. This approach requires a somewhat larger PPPM mesh to achieve the same accuracy as the ik method. Currently, only the ik method (default) can be used for a triclinic simulation cell with PPPM. The ad method is always used for MSM.
Currently, not all PPPM styles support the ad option. Support for those PPPM variants will be added later.
The kmax/ewald keyword sets the number of kspace vectors in each dimension for kspace style ewald. The three values must be positive integers, or else (0,0,0), which unsets the option. When this option is not set, the Ewald sum scheme chooses its own kspace vectors, consistent with the user-specified accuracy and pairwise cutoff. In any case, if kspace style ewald is invoked, the values used are printed to the screen and the log file at the start of the run.
With the mix/disp keyword one can select the mixing rule for the dispersion coefficients. With pair, the dispersion coefficients of unlike types are computed as indicated with pair_modify. With geom, geometric mixing is enforced on the dispersion coefficients in the kspace coefficients. When using the arithmetic mixing rule, this will speed-up the simulations but introduces some error in the force computations, as shown in (Wennberg). With none, it is assumed that no mixing rule is applicable. Splitting of the dispersion coefficients will be performed as described in (Isele-Holder). This splitting can be influenced with the splittol keywords. Only the eigenvalues that are larger than tol compared to the largest eigenvalues are included. Using this keywords the original matrix of dispersion coefficients is approximated. This leads to faster computations, but the accuracy in the reciprocal space computations of the dispersion part is decreased.
The force/disp/real and force/disp/kspace keywords set the force accuracy for the real and space computations for the dispersion part of pppm/disp. As shown in (Isele-Holder), optimal performance and accuracy in the results is obtained when these values are different.
The disp/auto option controls whether the pppm/disp is allowed to generate PPPM parameters automatically. If set to no, parameters have to be specified using the gewald/disp, mesh/disp, force/disp/real or force/disp/kspace keywords, or the code will stop with an error message. When this option is set to yes, the error message will not appear and the simulation will start. For a typical application, using the automatic parameter generation will provide simulations that are either inaccurate or slow. Using this option is thus not recommended. For guidelines on how to obtain good parameters, see the How-To discussion.
The option defaults are mesh = mesh/disp = 0 0 0, order = order/disp = 5 (PPPM), order = 10 (MSM), minorder = 2, overlap = yes, force = -1.0, gewald = gewald/disp = 0.0, slab = 1.0, compute = yes, cutoff/adjust = yes (MSM), pressure/scalar = yes (MSM), fftbench = no (PPPM), diff = ik (PPPM), mix/disp = pair, force/disp/real = -1.0, force/disp/kspace = -1.0, split = 0, tol = 1.0e-6, and disp/auto = no. For pppm/intel, order = order/disp = 7.

Sports fans got a little more incentive to ditch cable this week, as PlayStation Vue launched a channel for streaming NBA TV.
NBA TV has live games and original studio programming, and is available on PlayStation Vue's Core, Elite and Ultra plans. The entry level Vue plan, Access, doesn't have the network.
Vue already had ESPN, ABC, and TNT on their Core plan, the three networks that show the most live NBA games presently. This means that every out of market NBA game will be available to Vue subscribers for just under $45 a month.
NBA TV will have almost 100 regular seasons games on their broadcast schedule, plus upcoming postseason games. The postseason games won't be available to NBA League Pass subscribers, but will be a part of the Playstation Vue plan.
This announcement came just after Sony announced Vue would no longer be streaming all Viacom channels, including Comedy Central, Spike, MTV, VH1, and Nickelodeon.

A field of 10 is set to go to post in the £100,000 Coral Winter Derby (3.20pm) at Lingfield Park this Saturday, February 27.
The 10-furlong Polytrack contest is a Fast-Track Qualifier for the £200,000 Coral Easter Classic over the same distance on All-Weather Championships Finals Day, Good Friday, March 25.
Godolphin's Festive Fare (Charlie Appleby/Andrea Atzeni) heads the market at 11/4 with Coral. The four-year-old, a close fourth to the mighty Golden Horn in a Listed race at Newmarket last season, was the half-length runner-up to Grendisar (pictured)(Marco Botti/Adam Kirby) in the Listed coral.co.uk Winter Derby Trial over 10 furlongs at Lingfield Park on February 6. Grendisar, Coral's 11/4 second favourite, was runner-up in last year's Coral Winter Derby and also finished third in the 2015 Coral Easter Classic.
Battalion (William Haggas/Pat Cosgrave, 6/1) is dual course and distance winner, including in the 2014 Listed Coral Churchill Stakes, while a fascinating contender is the filly Furia Cruzada (John Gosden/Robert Havlin, 7/1), a three-time Group One winner in South America who will be making her British debut.
Tullius (Andrew Balding/Jimmy Fortune, 7/1) boasts the best turf form of the runners, having won twice at Group Two level, but has not run on Polytrack since 2013.
Energia Davos (Jane Chapple-Hyam/George Baker, 12/1) landed the Group Three Darley Stakes over nine furlongs on turf at Newmarket last season. He has competed over the same course and distance as the Winter Derby on his latest two outings, finishing second to Battalion in a conditions stakes and fourth to Don't Be in the Listed Coral Quebec Stakes.
Fire Fighting (Mark Johnston/Paul Mulrennan) recorded a first Listed victory last time out over two furlongs further at Kempton Park. Maverick Wave (John Gosden/Robert Tart, 14/1), Complicit (Paul Cole/Luke Morris, 20/1) and Battle Of Marathon (John Ryan/Martin Harley, 40/1) also take part.
"There was very little between the two market leaders in the Coral Winter Derby Trial, and that is reflected in the betting for Saturday's race, although we do just favour Festive Fare to gain his revenge over Grendisar," said Coral's David Stevens.
Coral Winter Derby, Coral bet: 11/4 Festive Fare, 3/1 Grendisar, 6/1 Battalion, 7/1 Furia Cruzada, Tullius, 12/1 Energia Davos, Fire Fighting, 14/1 Maverick Wave, 20/1 Complicit, 40 Battle Of Marathon
Saturday's card at Lingfield Park opens with another Fast-Track Qualifier, the £45,000 Listed Unibet Hever Sprint Stakes (1.45pm, 17 entries). The winner of the five-furlong contest on Polytrack is guaranteed a place in the £150,000 Unibet All-Weather Sprint over a furlong further at Lingfield Park on All-Weather Championships Finals Day, Good Friday, March 25.
A maximum field of 10 takes part, headed by Muthmir (William Haggas/Pat Cosgrave) who finished a close third in the Group One King's Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot in 2015 before getting the better of Take Cover (David Griffiths/Andrea Atzeni), Move In Time (David O'Meara/David Nolan) and Line Of Reason (Paul Midgley/Paul Mulrennan) in the Group Two King George Stakes at Glorious Goodwood.
There is strong overseas representation, with Irish and German-trained contenders engaged. The challengers from Ireland are Russian Soul (Michael Halford/Conor Hoban), a dual Group Three winner, and Abstraction (Natalia Lupini/Gary Carroll).
Abstraction has twice finished second to Sir Maximillian in Listed company, most recently on the Polytrack surface at Dundalk in October, 2014. He was restricted to just one outing in 2015 and owner-trainer Natalia Lupini is eager to see her charge return to the track.
Lupini, who is based at Scarva in Northern Ireland, commented: "Abstraction had a few little problems after he ran last year and it has just taken him a while to get back to the track.
"He is in good form and we are hoping he can run a nice race. I am sure he will probably need the run and hopefully he will improve for it.
"He has twice finished second Sir Maximillian in Listed company which has turned out to be good form with that horse winning in Dubai last week. That was encouraging to see and hopefully my horse can still run up to that level.
"He has won at Dundalk and likes the Polytrack surface. We have been working him at Dundalk and he handles it very well. There will be no problems at all with the surface for him on Saturday."
German raider Gamgoom (Mario Hofer/Martin Harley) is set to make his third appearance in the UK, having finished runner-up on his last starts, most recently going down by a neck in the six-furlong Listed Unibet Cleves Stakes at Lingfield Park on February 6.
Also declared to run are Lightscameraction (Gay Kelleway/Luke Morris) and Alben Star (Richard Fahey/Tony Hamilton), both past winners on All-Weather Championships Finals Day, plus Boom The Groom (Tony Carroll/William Carson), successful in a competitive five-furlong Tapeta handicap at Wolverhampton on February 22.
Saturday's six-race card at Lingfield Park runs from 1.45pm to 4.30pm.

You can taste it in the air, smell it in the breeze and your skin is starting to tingle. Yes, summer is definitely on the horizon and spring is peeping over the hills. I am so excited about being warm again that this deal struck me as a great way to celebrate.
You have to admit that £54.98 for a six piece outdoor patio set is a rather brilliant price. The entire kit includes a table, four chairs and a parasol (genius) that are made from powder coated steel. The chairs fold neatly for easy storage too.
This set may look quite utilitarian, and it is, but the advantage of such design is that you can do a lot with it when personalising it. Bright cushions or covers and ingenious table cloths won't clash with the simplistic design. Yo u can literally add anything you like to the set and it will complement it nicely.
So, nab the set for less than £60 and spend the rest of the £100 you saved on some lush green cushions, a bright orange table cloth and some peacock blue napkins. Kidding...
Thanks to ljdamms at HUKD!

Using my phone app, Step Walk, I am having fun mapping our hikes. Go to my WordPress blog, outdoorsindoors.wordpress.com to read more and see photos.
This month I am combining let outs with daily hikes. We are lucky enough to have a wonderful, fenced yard to play in at one let out and endless fields to explore at another let out. Both families are happy to have the dog gang stop by to interact with their dogs on their dogs' turf and we are happy to have yet another place to explore and play.
If you live in Nashua or Hollis, NH or in Dunstable or Pepperell, MA you should know there is a high quality dog park opening. Here is the link: http://www.nashuadog.org or D.O.G. Park of Nashua
We had the BEST day ever today. I had even more D.O.G. Park of Nashuafun than usual. Today I left Cabot and Emma at home. I took Ketli out with Katie, a long time client. I knew Katie loves to retrieve and swim and I wanted to check out a pond area that someone shared with me years ago. I had not been back but I knew that groups working on field skills with their dogs used to work there. I ran into people having fun with their dogs and water.
Ketli and Katie had a blast chasing sticks on land and in water (Katie went after them in water and Ketli only tried when they were at water's edge) It was pure pleasure for me to see both dogs in their element. They were splashing, galloping and leaping for joy. And that made me feel like leaping too! What fun. Look in the photo gallery for photos of our morning.
We are out in all weather. During the winter we are able to go off the main trails to explore other parts of the woods which we love. We can access locations that the main trails do not get to. While the dogs explore, play, sprint and roll I enjoy the chance to use my snowshoes and take photos of the landscape the the signs of winter wildlife. Look for my photos on my blog Outdoors Indoors at Wordpress.
September: We are finally getting some days without the high humidity and less bugs seem to be swarming at me as we hike. At least I don't have to carry branches waving them around my head wildly on each and every hike. Yesterday we went to Purgatory Falls, one of our favorite places. First we played ball in an open field then hiked down to Purgatory Brook for a swim. Maple played well with the puppy.
Puppy's name is Riverview's Bucket List Hope. Her call name is Ketli(from the ket in bucket and the li in list). I hope to breed her in the future if she passes all her clearances. Take a look at the photos I just posted.
Enjoy these cooler days. We will be.
A new puppy has joined my family... a female Chocolate Labrador Retriever from Old Town, Maine. It took a year to find her and we are so happy to welcome the little cutie into our family. She has already hiked with the big dogs and proved herself to be a real trooper. She crawled under logs, climbed up rocks, ran through pebbles, played at the water's edge and just plain had a great time. She is napping in a crate by my feet as I write. If you love Labs and/or puppies go to the Hike a Pup Facebook page or my blog, outdoorsindoors.wordpress.com. If you are a Google Plus user there will be updates there too. (under M Hardy)
Well, we are getting to the end of spring and so far there have been no black flies here in southern NH. There have been gnats, sometimes called "4-o'clocks", pestering us. They buzz around eyes, mouths, noses and ears hoping to enter. If you hike with your mouth open there is a risk of one flying in.. and worse are the times when they smash into an eye. I hate bug-spray; it feels like I am poisoning myself. But if I don't want to be covered from head to toe with clothes in sticky, hot weather I have to use it. I spray my hat and neck hoping to protect my face... NOT...
Whenever I can find sweet fern I stick it in my hat, shoulder straps and front pack. Then I carry some to swing around my head as needed. What a sight. And no one is sure that the ferns' scent really does repel bugs. The emergency measure I carry is a head net. You put it on over your hat and tie it on each side next to your neck to keep bugs from flying up through the bottom. It dims the world, catches your breath and causes a sauna atmosphere and it just plain stifling and hot. So you see why I try sweet fern fashion and wild swinging of branches first.
Some hiking places are worse than others. Shade is worse than sun. Let's see, we are in woods, in shade, 80% of the time. There have been years when the horseflies arrive that I have started a hike, gotten a certain distance from the car, and been attacked. They don't dive down and take a ferocious bite once. They gang up on you and buzz in pursuit. I try to stay calm and wave them off and stop breathing so they won't be attracted to my warm breath. But that does not last long because they persist. So I start running and waving my arms hoping I can get so far ahead of them that they will give up. I think I just feel I am doing something and feel less like a plodding target. But it is annoying and disappointing to have to charge out of the woods and go to plan B.
Plan B, go to an open, sunny hiking location or put my head net on to start a different trail hoping the horseflies are not congregating there that day.
Viva New Hampshire. We still love you.
A marvelous hike in deep snow. We started out at a temperature of 10 Fahrenheit and finished a couple of hours later at 17 degrees. The sun was shining, the snow was sparkling, there was no wind and the sky was a bright blue. Go to the video link to see the beauty of our time outside.
Here are two links to reflective pieces that I wrote about the wonder of NH. UNH Cooperative Extension Service publishes a weekly column called "NH Outside" to inspire readers to get out to enjoy our state and look closer at the natural world. They also send the articles statewide to print publications for inclusion when space allows. Peaceful Orchard was conceived when I was on a short afternoon hike with a few dogs. Angels in the Snow describes friendship and adverse weather conditions in the White Mountains. Enjoy.
