Mcleans forest
Mcleans Island
Kade, 9The smell of pine trees, the wind blows through my hair. I bike across the rough and rocky path. The leaves rustle in the wind, dust flies as I bike. Massive pine trees surround me. I bike into a clearing, a big grassy landscape shines in front of me. I bike slowly back to the car feeling the wind softly blowing on my face. Mcleans forest, my special place.

Newest Release: WORK (Live EP)
Dear Friends,
It's always nice to finish a project and not only feel that you put your best into it, but also that the thing itself was work worth doing – which is exactly how I feel. WORK was worth doing, regardless where it goes from here.
As my sophomore release I couldn't be happier. The album is a five song EP dealing with themes I care deeply about from agrarian life to loving your neighbor. Recorded live in February of last year much of the result is due to the effort of my friend and fellow musician Evan Hansen, who recorded and mixed the performance. I've been told that the album sounds more like me than anything I've done to date, which as a statement on both authenticity and production is for me a tremendous compliment.
Huge thanks to Evan and thank you for listening!
WORK is now available at live performances and for purchase on ITunes.

Dogs that require Little Exercise
- Dogs that are Good with Kids and Don't Shed
Children are vulnerable to allergic reactions and worse some kids are predisposed to asthma. When selecting a pet for these kids you should consider a choice of a dog that are good with children and don't shed. Both the temperament of the dog and...
Dog Breeds that Require Litttle Exercise
Dogs that require little exercise may be an ideal pet for people living in urban houses and have little or no time left in their work schedule to spend several hours with their pets. While having a pet comes with responsibility it is paramount that you consider of you can have enough time to walk your dog. One alternative that is commonly used by people with little time for their dogs is selecting a dog breed that does not require much exercise. In my opinion there is no such a dog breed or breeds that don't require exercises at all. All dogs require regular exercise and the more they exercise the better their health. It is a serious concern that some dog owners don't take enough time to exercise their dogs which is a serious concern in the animal rights perspective. This list of dog breeds includes those commonly regarded as breeds that require little exercise. They may be the kind of dog breed that will fit in the lifestyle of a busy professional living in an urban setting, possibly and apartment.
Selecting a Dog Breed that Require Little Exercise
Dogs are creatures that love walking by their nature and therefore all dogs require that you walk them from a given number of times very week. Instinctively dogs are active creatures that were not meant for restriction in a house for the whole day. In fact the more restricted the dog is the more likely they will develop dog aggression behaviors. Walking a dog regularly is also a proven method to improve dog health. This is therefore not debatable as to whether a dog should be walked or not. It is imperative to walk dogs frequently.
When selecting a dog for adoption there are a range of factors that different people use to select the best. While the criteria for selection of dogs for adoption may be diverse, most people who have more little time in their daily schedules will select a dog breed that require little exercises.
What is the Criterion of Selection of Dogs that Require Little Exercise?
A number of factors should be evaluated for a dog to qualify as a dog breed that requires little exercise. Some of the things that should be considered include the following:
When selecting a dog that requires little exercise you should consider the breed based on the amount of energy that the dog has. Majority of the miniature breeds can be high energy dog breeds and may require that you have more time for them.
Your daily schedule and current activity-if you are currently in a fitness schedule and you are walking or jogging on a daily or weekly basis a dog could be a great companion.
The time period you will be a way from the dog. Some professions require that people travel and spent significant amount of time abroad. While this may be a limitation to pet ownership, you should get a good pet boarding facility that can take care of the dog when you are away. Their schedule on the exercising the dog may also be a determining factor when you arte selecting a pet to adopt.
Space availability in your house or the backyard can be another thing you should consider when making the choice of the dog to adopt. The space availability for the movement of the dog can be a limiting factor to selection of large dog breeds especially for people living in apartments with limited space for exercise or movement.
List of Dogs that Require Little Exercise
The following dog breeds are regarded as dogs that require little exercise
- Bolognese
- Bulldog Breeds
- Boston terrier
- Chihuahua
- Dachshund
- Italian Greyhound
- Maltese
- Pug
- Shih-Tzu
- Toy Poodle

When I first started working at the Chronicle, my colleagues briefed me on Vitae's history: it was designed quickly, launched, and had been largely untouched (with the exception of a few bolted-on features) for about 2 years. I'd been hired during a pressing time — the business was reevaluating the effectiveness of the professional network for job seekers in higher education. It hadn't received a typical iterative process and was yearning for an update.
The team began prioritizing many new features customers had requested and revising previous features that needed a version two, but something that stuck out to me personally was the complex and bloated primary navigation of the site. There were no less than 9 primary navigation options (two of which were post-launch features, which really didn't seem to be core functions of the site). I requested the manpower, time, and budget to do some research and user testing to revise this navigation and streamline the process of getting around the site. I wanted to give our users the best way to get around the site and to give some of our sleeper, hard-to-find features a real chance. I started with a quick post-it note brainstorm to see how our site navigation could be improved.
Our in-house UX researcher and I got straight to work with a card sort. With our budget, our card sort needed to be remote. We create cards with terms found throughout our site, including all of the primary and secondary navigation items. We took note of a pattern that most users lumped our secondary items into three larger primary categories: job-related features, community-focused features, and content. We also noted that a user's personal messages, profile, and settings should be accessible from the primary navigation; otherwise, it was maddening to find them.
With the results of our card test in hand, I created a few different prototypes to test different labels with a click test. This test was the easiest, most economical way for us to test the validity of different labels for our primary navigation. The challenge with the click test was that it would only record whether a response was correct, or incorrect. We decided to create a secondary "correct" answer in order to see where people were clicking if they did not succeed on the first try. I'm so glad we chose to set this up, or some of our results would have been completely void of useful information.
Our click test helped us determine which labels work better with our user base. But now, we needed to know where the secondary labels fit best. The results of our card test were a bit inconclusive when it came to secondary navigation items, and besides — we wanted to see how our users would interact with a workable prototype.
I created an interactive prototype, keeping the results of our previous tests in mind. I used Marvel App for the prototype and we coordinated with UserTesting.com to set up a remote user test with 8 users. We noticed a few pain points repeating themselves throughout the user test recordings. People had trouble recognizing the term "dossier," even though they were in higher education and it was assumed that most knew that term well. Our new primary categories were working extremely well. Some users associated things like "My Saved Jobs" and "My Job Email Alerts" with their personal settings, instead of with the "Jobs" category, as we'd predicted.
I adjusted the prototype accordingly and presented the results of our rigorous testing to our stakeholders: the product owner, the dev lead, the business, and the director of UX (my boss). We moved forward with development a few weeks later. I coordinated with the developers to make sure the new navigation bar, which we luckily were able to rebuild from scratch, came out working as effectively as I'd intended. In October 2016, we were able to release it to production. It was one of our quickest and most successful projects yet.

Can you imagine two little children sitting in there and the big brother swinging it with his foot? We (the complete family) are just not sure how many brown and how many white kids it should be. Which is alway's up for discussion in my mixed family.
Am I the only person waiting for summer to end to have more time for miniatures again ? lol

Visibility issues with Phasing in Revit MEP with Architectural Links
In attempting to cleanup and link an Architect's Revit model to my MEP model (since I am currently only using Revit MEP and have not yet got my "one-box" setup) I performed all the proper procedures to purge and cleanup the Architectural model, but after linking into my MEP template, there were problems.
Clean Arch Model Linked Model
All the walls, windows, floors, etc. were all missing in my views. I began to poke around a little and see if the visibility graphics were not being brought through or the view properties were off. Everything seemed to be ok, but I could not figure out why none of the walls were showing. I immediately thought of phasing issues, but never dealt with multiple phases of projects from linked files since your MEP template only has the phases you setup and doesn't bring over the phases from linked rvt files.
I searched around the interwebs for a few minutes but found nothing. The only thing I found was a forum post on revitcity (although there are hundreds) that talked about setting the visibility graphics for the linked Revit file and setting the options to 'By linked view' and setting the linked view to a specific view from the linked file. (What?!)
This is supposed to match your view to equal that from the linked file. It worked, but not what I needed for the whole project.
Then I noticed there was an option for Phasing from the linked file.
Setting this option to '<Last>' instead of '<By host view>' will match the phase of the Architectural model. Voila! It worked and my walls/doors everything finally showed up correctly.
I had to write it down somewhere so I wouldn't forget and maybe somewhere out in the world there is another poor soul having the exact same issue.

Development of Printability of Bio-Composite Materials Using Luffa cylindrica Fiber
This study examined the surface adhesion of ink on bio-composite materials that were produced using Luffa cylindrica fiber and epoxy. To increase the ink adhesion on the surface, two different production methods were developed. The surface roughness and the surface contact angle of the bio-composite surfaces manufactured by each method were determined. The printing was applied on the surface of the bio-composite materials using a screen-printing procedure. While keeping the printing conditions constant, two different ink types, environmentally friendly water-based ink and solvent-based ink, were utilized. As a result of this study, the two types of ink were adhered on the polymer-coated surface, and there was no adhesion on the uncoated surfaces. In addition, the printability of the solvent-based ink was better than the water-based one, and the image of the transfer had higher quality. When the water or solvent-based inks were applied on the surface, the groups capable of forming hydrogen bonds, which were present in both kinds of ink, constituted hydrogen bonds with the C=O and N-H groups. This resulted in better adhesion on the surface, which was due to the presence of the separator.

Operating a successful, profitable and modern farm is a difficult venture, to say the least. Long hours of hard work and dozens of different skillsets are required of today's farmers, whether they be soil based, dairy producers or cattle raisers.
Knowledgeable farmers are forward-thinking and proactive business people. Often, farmers have millions of dollars invested in equipment including machinery and tools, not to mention land and livestock. Each year, new technologies make older equipment obsolete or at least less productive. Those who do not keep up with the times and look after their assets are doomed to be left behind and can have catastrophic results.
Weather is always the wildcard in farming. Owning farming machinery and tools is not; selecting the right equipment is entirely in the farmer's control, and so is looking after it. Equipment represents a huge investment. Properly purchased and maintained, farming equipment can last indefinitely — at least as long as it's intended life or until technology makes it outdated.
The key to keeping equipment running and staying at peak performance is no secret. Every successful farmer knows it's all about maintenance of farm tools and equipment. They know the reasons why farm machines should be maintained and the value in service of farm equipment.
Proper maintenance of farm machineries reduces the expenses needed to keep a farm running at peak efficiency, extends the life of tools and equipment and prevents sudden breakdowns. Spending a lot of time and money maintaining farm equipment might seem unnecessary to an outsider, however, every farmer who's been in the agriculture business and intends on remaining on a profitable farm knows the cost of maintenance is far less than paying for even more expensive repairs.
The Virginia Cooperative Extension reported on a Midwest study showing many farmers could reduce their overall agricultural equipment repair bills by 25 percent if they improved their ways of maintaining farm machines and tools.
Another study by the University of Nebraska came to exactly the same 25 percent conclusion, only they used a specific example. An $80,000 tractor normally requires approximately $24,000 in repairs and maintenance costs during 5,000 hours of operation. With an excellent service management plan, this decreased to $18,000.
These studies had something else in common about service of farm equipment. Both institutes found that a proper maintenance plan involved two straightforward approaches. One was owner involved equipment maintenance and the second was relying on professional outsourced equipment maintenance. It all comes down to the prevention of problems.
Although each type of farming has a variety of equipment brands and purposes, there is no universal rule on how to maintain each piece. This simply is an intentional and controlled method of making systematic inspections, adjustments and replacements of components as well as performance analysis and testing.
Preventive maintenance, or PM, takes place before a breakdown occurs. A working PM program extends the life of agricultural equipment. It also reduces the chance of unexpected machinery failure and unscheduled downtime. A proper preventive maintenance program has these benefits:
The most effective preventive maintenance program is a team approach with the equipment owner looking after the day-to-day tasks. This might sound menial, but the best one to foresee a looming problem is the person closest to the piece of equipment on a regular basis.
The other team member who has the professional knowledge and complex analytical tools are just as important. This usually is the equipment dealer or the factory service representative. Working together, a planned approach to agricultural equipment maintenance pays back enormously.
A principle of agricultural equipment maintenance is keeping the machines clean, dry and lubricated. Any piece of farm machinery that is properly looked after by keeping it clean after use, storing it under cover and out of the elements and paying attention to regular lubrication of moving parts is already moving into that previously mentioned 25 percent saving in repair and maintenance costs.
Another important but often overlooked equipment maintenance principle is record keeping. Scheduling periodic maintenance is part of due diligence in prolonging machinery life. Every agricultural equipment owner should set up a system that includes:
A system of maintaining agricultural equipment must also involve records keeping. The following elements should be included in the preventative maintenance program:
Every farmer should know their personal limitations when it comes to the maintenance of farm implements and equipment. By historical definition, implements are the smaller tools a farmer uses, and equipment is the larger machinery. It's said that the farmer carries the implements, but the equipment carries the farmer.The best people to help carry the farmer are professionals who can be outsourced to take on the big maintenance and repair work.
Professionals like Carolina CAT provide prompt and dependable service. Outsourcing the larger maintenance and repair components of farm equipment to a Cat dealer just makes sense. Their success depends on the farmer's success, and they know when equipment is out of service, it's not making money.
Outsourced professionals work hard to build solid customer relationships and understand farming needs. They maximize farming equipment uptime by providing cost-effective product support. On top of being there for emergency service when an unexpected breakdown happens, a professional outsourced team member works to monitor farm equipment and anticipates when something might go wrong.
Today's farming equipment has reached a level of sophistication that no one in the past century could imagine. Technology allows for smart use where computerization monitors, manages and controls system functions. Problems are detected before they become a malfunction and predictions from technology-equipped machines find ways to enhance production, improve safety, reduce costs and build sustainable, successful farming businesses.
Carolina CAT provides an extensive list of outsourced service options for farmers:
Carolina CAT is committed to the needs of its farming customers. We know that it is the hard work, risk and dedication of those who work the land that has made America one of the most respected and highest-quality food-producing nations in the world.
Whether it is a grain, dairy or livestock farm, Carolina CAT has been there since 1926 to provide superior sales and service to the farming community. Farming equipment is vital to the industry. The right agricultural equipment is critical in getting food off the farm and to hungry markets.
Just as important as the right equipment is the proper maintenance of farm machineries. The reasons farm machines should be maintained are obvious and so, too, should be the need to have a proper preventative maintenance program that includes a professional outsourced team member.
Carolina CAT has the vision to be our customers' trusted partner by being a high performing dealer. Our mission is to serve customers with the highest value in equipment solutions supported by superior parts and service. We provide our customers with the lowest owning and operating costs and focus on a team approach that builds positive, long-lasting relationships.

Peter Novick
Peter Novick (July 26, 1934, Jersey City – February 17, 2012, Chicago)[1] was an American historian, and Professor of History at the University of Chicago.[1][2][3] He was best known for writing That Noble Dream: The "Objectivity Question" and the American Historical Profession and The Holocaust in American Life.[1] The latter title has also been published as The Holocaust and Collective Memory, especially for non-US anglophonic markets.
Though deemed a precursor, Novick was a sharp critic of Norman Finkelstein, but also of his opponent Alan Dershowitz.[4] He died in 2012 in Chicago of lung cancer.
That Noble Dream
That Noble Dream: The "Objectivity Question" and the American Historical Profession questions the origins and prevalence of the notion of objectivity in current and 20th century history. It focuses on developments in university history departments within the United States, though it traces the concept of objectivity in history's origins back to 19th century Germany and Leopold von Ranke.[5]

Trump has a path, and if the polls are wrong, it's wider than thought.
Hillary Clinton leads in most national polls and in enough battleground states to put her on pace to surpass the 270 electoral votes she needs Tuesday to become the next president. But not far beneath the surface, as Donald Trump has narrowed the gap following the late-breaking FBI announcement of a renewed review of emails related to her private server, lurks a question making Democrats squirm in these frenzied final days.
What if the polls are wrong?
And more: What if Clinton's vaunted data operation and ground game don't deliver? What if there is, in fact, a "silent majority" of Trump fans? What if Clinton's banked stash of early votes is insufficient? What if, as President Barack Obama's former campaign manager David Plouffe not so affectionately describes nervous Democrats, the "bed-wetters" are right?
"Our magnificent, historic movement has surprised the world and defied expectations at every single turn," Trump told a crowd in Orlando, Florida, this week. "And now, next Tuesday, we will have one more glorious surprise for the pundits, the politicians and the special interests when we win and return the power back to the people."
It's an outcome that official Washington — more consumed with potential Clinton Cabinet picks (Biden! Sandberg!), her policy agenda, the battle for the Senate — seems wholly unprepared for.
"I don't think Washington has ever been in touch with this election," said longtime Democratic pollster Peter Hart. "I end every speech with the Yogi Berra saying, 'It ain't over until it's over' and it ain't over until we get the votes counted."
While Trump remains decidedly the underdog, his path to 270 is not nonexistent. In the most recent New York Times/CBS News poll, Trump trailed by 3 percentage points, shrunken from 9 points behind only weeks ago.
"The trend lines are clearly going in our direction," Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said this week on MSNBC.
As Clinton's margin has eroded in recent days, the political focus has shifted from Democratic boasts of flipping Texas, Arizona, Georgia and Utah to safeguarding Michigan, Wisconsin, Colorado, Virginia, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania.
Averages of the public polls in all those latter Democratic states still show Clinton leading — albeit by tighter margins — which would essentially choke off Trump's path to the White House.
"We've seen this a couple times where Hillary Clinton is leading by 3 to 5. Something happens. Her numbers spike to 10. They drop back down. Everyone wets themselves. Rinse. Repeat," said Dan Pfeiffer, a former senior adviser to President Obama. "She was never going to win by 10."
Still, Pfeiffer understood the uneasiness, saying he's asked about it everywhere he goes. "The consequences of a loss here are much greater than they'd be in a normal year," he said. "You're more nervous if you're playing Russian roulette than flipping a coin."
Then there is the fact that polls — and polling averages — are not infallible. In 2012, Romney led 20 Florida polls in October and November and Obama led in only seven. Obama won the state. And in 2014, in the battle for the Senate majority, pollsters missed the result in race after race far in excess of the margin of error.
In Virginia, Sen. Mark Warner had led the polling average by nearly 10 percentage points on Election Day. He won by less than 1 point. In Kentucky, Sen. Mitch McConnell won by nearly 15 points, 8 points ahead of the polling average. In Arkansas, Tom Cotton outperformed the polling average by 10 points. In Kansas, Sen. Pat Roberts trailed the polling average on Election Day, and he won by more than 10 points.
Josh Holmes, who served as McConnell's campaign manager and monitored the map nationwide as Republicans retook the Senate majority that year, heeded caution for those trumpeting the demise of Trump already.
"It's never over," he said.
Two years ago, Holmes said, "the environment was improving almost every week as we got closer to Election Day, so what you didn't know was which way voters would finally break at the polls.

The government today published its 'Implementation Plan' for 'The Future of Apprenticeships in England' which puts employers at the heart of making Apprenticeships work. Today's announcement follows on from the Richard Review of Apprenticeships published in November 2012 and a consultation which ended in May 2013.
Key elements of the plan include:
Charlotte Bosworth, OCR Director of Skills and Employment said: "Based on our experience of working with employers to develop high quality qualification content and relevant assessments, we welcome a more significant voice for employers and professional associations in Apprenticeships. We look forward to the opportunity of working initially with the 'Trailblazers projects' and assisting in creating a robust high level assessment approach.
"To make Apprenticeships work however, the employers will need to represent a variety of sectors and scales of operation so that the workforce of the future is flexible and responsive to changes in demand.
"It's vital that qualifications that support apprenticeships are fit for purpose and relevant to sector needs. As an exam board with expertise in developing high quality employer led assessment to a recognised standard, we believe that rewarding the variety of learning that takes place throughout the length of an apprenticeship is essential. We are concerned that large scale 'wrap around' qualifications will not properly reflect learners' achievements.
"English and Maths skills are key, although getting enough apprentices to achieve the new 'big' GCSEs in English and Maths, in place of Functional Skills, may prove a challenge and may not always be the right type of numeracy and literacy skills that an employer needs."

Freedom League: Rebirth
Crime League
The Crime League is a threadbare team first formed in the fourties to directly combat the Liberty League. Originally started by the Emperor of Crime Augustus Roman, the Crime League was (and still is) less of a team and more of a collection of solo villains who occasionally band together in the name of crime.
The Crime League has gone through more incarnations in it's time than the Freedom League. The most recent League was formed by the villains Dr. Stratos and Dr. Simian. While they were a persistent threat to the Freedom League (both as a team and on their own), none of them have tried anything that would put them on a global threat level (with the likes of SHADOW or Omega).
The Crime League was disbanded after their last scheme about a year and a half ago, where Dr. Simian planned to steal the powers of the cosmic imp Quirk and create a Freedom City where super criminals reigned supreme. The Freedom League obviously stopped them, and the Crime League has yet to come together in any form since.
The current incarnation (and their whereabouts) are as follows:
Blackstar- Incarcerated by the Star Knights
Devil Ray- Whereabouts Unknown
Dr. Simian- Incarcerated in Blackstone Prison
Dr. Stratos- Incarcerated in Blackstone Prison
Hiroshima Shadow- Incarcerated (Location classified by AEGIS)
The Maestro- Reformed
Medea- Incarcerated (Location classified by AEGIS)
Orion the Hunter- Whereabouts Unknown
Wildcard- Whereabouts Unknown

Captain BD surprises in Indiana Grand QHRAI Derby
Captain BD made his second start over Indiana Grand's racecourse an impressive outing, rolling out early and never relinquishing his lead to win the $73,600 Indiana Grand QHRAI Derby at Indiana Grand Saturday, July 9. The stakes race was one of the highlights of the second all-Quarter Horse racing nights at the track in 2016.
Starting from post seven in the full field of 10, Captain BD and Jockey Jose Davila came out of the gate clean and quickly went to the lead. The duo kept a strong hold of the top spot during the 400-yard dash and just when the late closers looked like they might be chasing down the leaders, Captain BD kicked into another gear and scored the mild upset by one and one-quarter lengths to win his first stakes of his career. TF Jess a Leader and Jose Beltran came up for second followed by Beyondthegamewagon and Shanley Jackson, who finished a neck back in third.
"I'm really excited to win this race and really excited about this horse (Captain BD)," said Davila, who is one of five jockeys that was recruited to Indiana from the Hialeah circuit this year. "I knew going into the race that he was good and had confidence to win."
Davila has been aboard Captain BD three times now, winning two and finishing second once. The three-year-old son of Captain Courage is now three for five in 2016, with no finish worse than third. He more than doubled his career earnings with his win in the Indiana Grand QHRAI Derby, now possessing in excess of $66,000 for owner David Gonzalez. Victor Gonzalez earned his first win of the meet with Captain BD.
"This is a very honest horse," said Gonzalez of Captain BD. "We tried him in the trials and he ran good. He came back tonight and ran good and we were lucky enough to get the win tonight."
Captain BD paid $16.20, $6.60, $6.00 across the board. The time of the race was :19.587 seconds, a new stakes record, besting the mark set by Mavara Vegas and Jockey Jose Ruiz in a time of :19.807 seconds.

Sending Cinderella to the Ball.
You'll find the Storybook Doll challenge in the summer issue of Prims Magazine.
I had finished Cinderella quite a while back, except for her little pals and a broom. So look closely...a mouse on her head, one on her shoulder, and a little bird has landed on the end of her broom. (Might be suggesting a bit of chocolate Ex-Lax in Step-Monster's cocoa?)
Anyway, here's my Izannah Walker version of Cinderella. I won't see her again for MONTHS because submissions to Prims take a while to find their way home.
10 comments:
Oh JanReplyDelete
she is wonderful. You have done a smashing job on her.
and to add... your hand sewing is meticulous!ReplyDelete
Adorable. Love those mice, the bird, oh dear, the whole thing.ReplyDelete
You do just amazing work.
Glorious work Jan! had to have a closer look after reading Kristen's comment (to find the mice!)ReplyDelete
- Anonymous3/21/12, 7:29 PM
Might she be featured in the magazine? She is so right as the "before" Cinderella.ReplyDelete
Great, great doll, Jan! I love the Izzie look you have given her...just perfect for this Cinderella. Nice broom and mice, too!ReplyDelete
You have captured her perfectly!! Love the little mice, and her clothing is just wonderful.ReplyDelete
Cinderella is beautiful. The litle animals are sweet. It would be nice to see the same doll dressed up after Fairy god mother transforms her into her ball gown.ReplyDelete
Jan, you did a marvelous job with Cinderella.ReplyDelete

Edinburgh: The Family Elan and Two Wings, 2nd April
8pm, Saturday 2nd April.
£6 at the door (£5 cheap list entry by emailing email@example.com)
BYOB! All Ages! Free Homemade Powan Chocolate Cookies! Homemade cakes!
Old St Paul's Church Hall on Jeffrey Street
Two Wings
Two Wings build on the classic British folk-rock canon to create music that manages to sound warming and familiar whilst stretching the collective imagination into new dimensions and directions. Borne of a song-writing collaboration between singer/multi-instrumentalist/visual artist Hanna Tuulikki (Nalle, Scatter, The Family Elan) and guitarist/singer Ben Reynolds (Baby Dee, Trembling Bells, Alasdair Roberts, Tompkins Square Records). Two Wings channels the experimentations and explorations of both artist's previous projects into some of the most beautiful, melodic, harmonious and progressive songs to be heard this side of the 1970's.
The band have recently completed recording their first full length album together with the help of John Cavanagh (Phosphene) and will be previewing some of that material for us in Edinburgh on the night.
Expect vocals spanning Kate Bush, Grace Slick and Stevie Nicks, guitar solos straddling Richard Thompson, Peter Green and Lindsey Buckingham, harmonies a la Crosby, Stills and Nash and Wings, and a rhythm section which may be the missing link between Steeleye Span and Led Zeppelin.
The Family Elan
Krzysztof (Chris) Hladowski will be bringing the latest incarnation of his extended clan Elan back to Caledonia to bathe us in their Eastern European infused psych-folk jams. The Family Elan has been the vehicle for Chris's own musical endeavors outside of his collaborative work (A Hawk and a Hacksaw, Nalle, The One Ensemble, Scatter) over the past decade. After releasing their debut album on Locust Music (Sir Richard Bishop, Josephine Foster, Henry Flynt, Espers). The Family Elan presented us with their second LP 'Bow Low Bright Glow' last year drawing new musical constellations that follow the gypsy trail from India through Asia Minor and into outer space.
'When Hladowski achieves instrumental levitation, the ghosts of Comus, Jan Dukes De Grey and The Incredible String Band might be hovering over his shoulder; there's a similar sense of acid-spiked, dervish abandon. Like the latter, he references ethnic music - Indian ragas, Balkan gypsy dances, Greek rembetika - but with a rare feeling and finesse, and not a trace of whimsy.'
'The Family Elan reveals the right combination of dexterous playing and unstudied feeling to qualify as a success.'
We will be opening the show with a short film screening followed by a set from Auld Reekie's own drone lord Red Death lining our eardrums with thick-synth mantras.

Cash game strategy basics: Turn and River
In this article we are going to discuss the basics of playing on the turn and the river in Texas Hold'em. There is no point in taking the hints below as the gospel truth – it's our intention to make up a list of the main rules that every beginner must know. Following them will allow you to play hands on low limit tables successfully – however, the more expensive your game becomes, the more skills to need to acquire to equip your turn and river arsenal.
- LESSON #1: Choosing the right poker type
- LESSON #2: Low stakes poker strategy guide
- LESSON #3: Skills you need to be a successful poker player
- LESSON #4: Managing your bankroll in a right way
- LESSON #5: Range and relative hand strength
- LESSON #6: Cash game strategy basics: pre-flop and flop
Let's divide playing on the turn and on the river into two categories, as we did for playing on the flop. We will call them aggressor's strategy and caller's strategy. It's worth mentioning that when you're on the turn you need to be aware of your opponent's approximate range, or what he could have called or bet on the flop. It's difficult to over-estimate the significance of this information, as the turn and the river are the most creative streets in the whole game.
Playing aggressively on turn
As a rule, you usually make the decision whether to play a big or small pot on the turn. If you bet, there will be 30 to 40 big blinds in the pot on the river. If you check there will be 17 to 20. Here, it is especially important to remember the low stakes key rule: big pots for big hands, small pots for small ones.
If you were an aggressor pre-flop and on the flop, you will rarely get into complications while playing on the turn and on the river. You just have to follow a simple concept: Never try to check with strong hands, never try to play your "monsters" slowly, and never bluff with rags.
The guidelines for the bet size on the turn and river are the same as they were on the flop: if you decide to bet, the size of your bet has to be between two-thirds and three-quarters of the size of the pot.
With good hands such as top pair, a set or two pairs, you should only check when the turn is the fourth card of a flush or a straight. In all other cases betting makes the most sense, even if you have an over-pair and on the turn you completed a pair with the highest card on the flop. Opponents on low limits will often give their money away with weak combinations such as second pair.
If you check to your opponent whilst out of position, remember you should always fold after. Never try and call with weak combinations (in terms of relative strength, for example such pairs as 66 on a 76Q2 board where all four cards are suited) when out of position as if you did not "believe" your opponent has a strong hand. Doing so will bring you nothing but losses, and you are breaking the principles of the game – you gave the initiative and position to your opponent.
Only top pairs with weak kickers on totally safe boards without a draw could be an exception. You are allowed to check and call out of position when you have them, as you almost always have the best hand, but not too strong a one.
Some people may argue – what about top pairs and over-pairs if the third card to a flush or the third card to a straight was dealt on the turn? There's no point in being afraid of such boards as you can still bet, as your opponents might not have a completed flush, but just a flush draw. A flush is quite a rare hand from purely a mathematical point of view. Your opponent is two to two and a half times more likely to have a weak hand (presuming that you have the top pair) than a flush on such a turn, and your opponents are much more likely to call more often with a weak hand than bet with it themselves.
When it comes to medium-strength hands such as second and third pair, you have to check with them in position at this stage. Check when out of position with the intention of folding to an opponent's bet later on. You will often hope for a cheap showdown with weak hands against combinations of the same weakness. At that, there is no point thinking that your opponents will bet with their weak hands to your check on the turn. Do not forget that there are not so many such weak hands remaining in their ranges, as they called pre-flop and called after the flop as well – quite a good hand is necessary to do so. Your second pair may well be weaker than your opponent's hand after his raise on the turn.
The only exception to this rule is the situation when you had top pair on the flop, and a higher card came on the turn. For example, a JT3 flop with a A on the turn. In this case, you should bet on the turn with your J (for instance, KJ) as higher cards are very rarely likely to help your opponent, except for rare hands such as AJ or AT, so there is no reason to keep them off.
It's now time to ask yourself a question – what should you do if your opponent raised your bet with a good enough hand?
In cases where you bet on the turn or the river and were raised, you should fold each and every hand except for the ones that were named below. It is necessary to ALWAYS fold your over-pairs and top pairs on the turn to an opponent's raise. If you have two top pairs or better, you should go all-in to your opponent's raise. The following hands should be folded to an opponent's raise:
- Weak flush on boards four cards to flush (a weak flush is one without a K or A)
- Weak straights on boards with four cards to the straight (here are any non-nuts, and a weak straight is weak)
- Any straight when the third or fourth card to the flush has been dealt on the turn
- Any set or two-pair boards where there are three or four cards to the flush
If an opponent's stake size is so small that it is equal to one-and-a-half to two pot sizes on the turn before your bet, you are allowed to call all-in and go all-in yourself for the rest of the money with hands like a top pair with a good kicker or a strong draw or better, but only if the fourth card to a flush or straight has not arrived on the turn.
When can you bluff on the turn?
Firstly, the best hands for a contbet on the turn are draws. If you have a flush draw on the board with two cards to a flush or straight draw, then a bet will be the best decision in many cases – however, you should not forget that betting with a draw is still bluffing, so you hope that your opponent with fold.
The following situations should be avoided:
- Do not bet with a flush draw (if you only have suited A or K) on a board with three cards to a flush, as an opponent is likely to call with many hands
- Do not bet with a flush draw on a board with four cards to a straight
- Do not bet with a straight draw on a board with three obvious cards to a straight (for example K2JT when you have A3)
- Do not bet with a draw when the highest or second highest card from the flop was paired on the turn, or an opponent's range is likely to have been strengthened (K2JT illustrates this idea well)
Naturally, if you have a very strong draw that combines both a straight and flush, then it is worth betting on a board with both three cards to a straight, and three cards to a flush. It is useful to call and watch the river with such a draw, in the hope of getting into your outs. Boards with three cards to a flush are an exception – here you should fold your monster draw.
It is necessary to fold to a raise with any flush or straight draw, as there is not enough strength in them to have enough chance to win the pot if you invest.
It's the same with weak pairs – if you have a draw which you cannot bet with as you are out of position, only checking and folding are the options. You do not really want to call your opponent's bet when bluffing out of position.
It is possible not to bet with a draw if you have a pair and some kind of draw in your hand. You can check when in position with such a combination as you do not have sufficient reason to bluff (as sometimes your pair will turn out to be the best hand, and you have a back-up plan with drawing hands). Checking and calling out of position are only allowed of you have second or top pair as well as some kind of draw.
One further situation where bluffing is possible is when a higher card is dealt on the turn. These are also called "scare" cards. Most often it is an A, K or Q being dealt on the turn, on boards such as J52, T94 or 763. The term "scare" card is related to any card on the turn that is higher than the highest card on the flop – the point being that such cards often do not help a player without initiative, but a pre-flop aggressor could well have gotten into one of the highest cards as they will almost always contbet with them on any flop.
After a bet on one of these types of turns, you should almost always continue playing aggressively on the river too; you will expect to fold on the turn from second flop pairs, but flop top pair will rarely fold on a "scare turn", preferring instead to wait until the river.
When is bluffing on the turn not worth doing?
Try not to begin senseless bluffs with rags that you have no hope of bettering, and try not to bet less on "bad" boards and boards with weak gut-shots as well (the ones that will not give you the best straight or the one where a straight is obvious) – these are the worse hands for bluffing on this street.
Playing aggressive on river
If you have done everything right on the turn, then playing on the river at low limits will not bring you much difficulty. You will already know a lot about the opponent's range which means that most decisions will be easy as well.
Although many people say for good reason that playing on the river is the most complicated aspect of poker, it's only really something to worry about on middle and high limits. Often, the complexity of playing on the river can be explained with the complexity of good players' ranges, but the rules we give below are sufficient for beginners.
On the river, you should continue to bet with all the strongest hands – made flushes, made straights, sets, two pairs and the best top pairs. Checking on a safe board should only be considered sometimes and only when you have top pairs with low kickers (it is better to check them in position and bluff sometimes out of position in the hope for an opponent's bluff). The check range can be complemented with all second and third pairs – if you have them you should check in position and fold to any bet. There is no pointing betting with top pairs and over-pairs on the river where one of the obvious draw hands has been closed, or your opponent could get into two pairs. A disciplined check/fold will be the best decision.
Additionally, if you were betting on the turn with a draw and your opponent made a fast call, it makes sense to refrain from bluffing. On low limits, players often make a call with weak hands on the flop, but they prefer only strong combinations for calling on the turn – bluffing against top pair on the river is rarely successful. That is the reason why over-pairs on the river where the highest flop card has been paired are not worth betting with.
The speed of a call to your bet will often be of great significance when making the decision on whether to bluff. If the opponent called in only a couple of seconds on a safe board, he is very likely to have a strong hand such as top pair. Vice versa, if he thought for some time before making a call on a likely bad card it often hints he has a middle-strength hand that was not improved on the river.
The river is almost a great street in which to "catch" opponents' bluffs. If an obvious flop draw was not completed by the river, you can check and call with your top pairs when out of position. For example, when there was a flush draw on the flop, but the turn and the river came out peacefully – then it makes sense to check with the top pair, making your opponent bluff with his possible draw as he has no other way of taking the pot.
We have discussed the strategy of playing against raises on the river before.
Playing on the turn as a caller
To say that playing the turn and the river when you don't have the initiative is complicated is like saying water is wet. The pot has become larger and larger, and there are less strong hands remaining in your range, as you were making re-raises with most of them remaining pre-flop or on the flop. Making an expensive decision is easiest with strong combinations, so the starting strategy for the turn is based on playing strong hands.
This means that if you called your opponent's bet with second pair on the flop, no matter what comes out on the turn, you have to fold. One nice exception is a turn where you have a flush or straight draw except the pair; then calling makes more sense – but you should be more careful with pairs plus draw on turns where the third card to a flush has come. Here a second or top pair with a draw at least on Q would be a good candidate for calling.
One interesting exception is pairs with an obvious draw, such as, for example, 89 on a 8T63 board: such hands should be folded. Your pair is not very strong, and you cannot count on a straight, as if it is closed on the river, 678T will be on the board, and your opponent is not likely to pay your straight.
If you only have a flush draw or a straight draw on the turn (and not a monster draw that is always worth staying in the game with), you can only call in position with a hidden straight draw (one where your opponent will not notice on the river that therefore might earn you extra money) and with nuts flush draws with over-cards. All other draws should be folded immediately. The reason for this is that the draw on the turn always requires potential profit from one more opponent's bet on the river, but when you are out of position, he is likely to be scared by the potential flush and check on the final street, leaving you without additional value.
Top pairs and over-pairs are always worth calling except on boards with three cards to a flush or a straight – here you should immediately get rid of your cards. With two pairs or a set you can call on the turn with three cards to the flush, as now you can beat any draw and any top pair, which you opponent can sometimes bet with.
Sometimes opponents will refuse to bet on the turn – in this case you bet with any draw out of position, any top pairs and often with total rags (if you've somehow managed to reach the turn with them). At the same time, top pairs and worse should be checked to await the freebie showdown.
Naturally, all the strongest hands such as a made straight or flush, sets and two pairs on safe boards are worth a raise in an attempt to get as much money into the pot as possible.
Playing the river as a caller
The river on the street is where the relative strength of your hand becomes almost the only key factor in the deal. Read our article on the topic with keen attention, and always remember that the real strength of you hand on this street is significantly different from its chart position.
If you have been following all our recommendations, you should have left in your hand only the strongest combinations that are easy to play either in or out of position.
Just as before, any second pair gets folded on the river. Over-pairs at this stage should be treated just as the strongest top pairs and get called on any safe board (where no draw has been completed).
Any top pairs with a kicker lower then a ten are worth folding to the third opponent's bet, as well as any top pairs and over-pairs on board with:
Three cards to flush
Four cards to flush
Four cards to straight
With sets and two pairs you can just call to an opponent's bet on three cards to a flush.
On safer boards with two pairs and better on the river, you should raise with the same attitude as on the turn – to get as much money into the pot from your opponents as possible.
Only the weakest two pairs from all possibilities on the board are an exception. The best idea with such a hand is often just to call.
Always remember that if your draw is completed by the river, but you are out of position, you should never bet first when the initiative is taken by an opponent; this way you will just reveal the strength of your hand and inform all that you have, for instance, completed your flush. Check and wait patiently for the opportunity to raise.
It's worth mentioning that if your opponent was in position on the turn but decided not to bet, on the river you may consider that you have gained the initiative. This means that a bet is worth making with any top pair or better, but bluffing and betting with second ones in such a situation is not recommended. As a rule, you opponent is likely to have a medium strength hand, and is waiting to call on the river with it. If he bets, you can easily discard your low pairs.
Sometimes on the river if your opponent is out of position but has the initiative they will refuse the bet. In such a situation you should bet with any top pair or better, and with any bluff. Middle pairs should rather be put into your check range (as such hands earn the most money, especially from cheap showdowns).
Beginners often make a big mistake on the river by making too small bets. The same applies as it does on the turn – a standard bet should be between two-thirds and three-quarters of the pot size. Too large a bet with a strong hand will rarely get a call from weak combinations, and trying to "buy" the pot by bluffing cheaply will almost never work out.

Staff are so friendly and helpful. There is a lovely little Art Galley in the main lobby that hosts many local Newfoundland Artists. Paintings throughout the Inn will make you stop and wonder what the artist thought as they painted the picture.
They have a lovely country pub downstairs and there is even a small elevator to help those with lots of luggage or those who need a hand to get up and down to their rooms. The Glynmill doesn't have a swimming pool, but it does have a lovely little playground and it is next to the river surrounded by beautiful shrubs and trees. It's as country as any Inn could get. The history is a little long but I'll rewrite it for you at the end of the blog and pictures.
The entrance is wide and spacious.
The old, antique look brings the
the look of old England. The long windows and antique wood shine while greeting its guests.
My favourite room is the Tutor Room, which is just off the desk, near the business centre for guests. The first thing you notice is the large looming oval wooden doors. Since I love British history, especially Henry VIII, this room brings that richness to life for me.
You can see the Tutor doors here from the front desk. The door with its English style luster in wood with large, antique handles is waiting for me to enter, yet again.
I open the doors and walk into a very large living area with high ceilings. The furniture is modern but decorated with such warm, inviting colours that make you feel right at home. In the living area, there is a dark wooden table and two chairs along with a desk and a wall mounted flat screen TV.
Then you look down a short, hardwood floor hallway. Immediately to your left is the luxurious bathroom with a shower and jacuzzi. It is one small luxury I allow myself. It has a modern toilet, shower and sink.
It has two sets of lights, depending on what mood you're in!
I love the decor of the bathroom. The light coloured wood is accented by the colour and designs around the room. The jacuzzi is very large and the jets relax the body with their gentle humming and rushing of the water around your body. I actually enjoyed the shower this time as well. We had a water problem so I couldn't use the jacuzzi the first time and I was surprised how enjoyable it was.
I continue on to the bedroom which is very large with a king bed. The Inn remodelled the beds with the pillow mattresses and matching comforters, sheets and pillows. There is a mounted flat screen TV on the wall, in between two extremely large, long windows.
An antique vanity with a stool waits for the ladies to gently put their personal items gingerly on it. A chair sits in the corner, waiting for a tired guest to rest their weary bones. The walls throughout are painted in the warmest, comforting colour I have ever seen. The bedroom walls look as if they are wallpapered but there not. Someone took the time to use two colours and a sponge to make the flowered impression. I love this so much and wish I could duplicate it. So impressed was I that I found the colour they painted their walls and then painted my own walls the same. Everyone loves it! What a luxury I've allow myself. When I enter this room, I know I am home (for a little while anyway). You can see the walls on the far side. It looks like a design and it is but it is done with sponge (I think). It is a magical place for me when in Corner Brook, Newfoundland, where the people are wonderful, the scenery outstanding and the air so fresh! I'll blog on the scenes from Corner Brook and show you what Marble Mountain is like. Some of the greatest skiing is done on this mountain. Thanks for taking the time to enjoy my travel blog.

Yesterday's German monthly retail sales figures unexpectedly jumped higher, and it looks like Germany's influential role in the EU has also helped create better-than-expected EU retail sales figures. Forecasts had been for an increase of 0.2%, but the final figure was up 1.4%.
No doubt Mario Draghi will be pleased to see that the positive sentiment prevalent in Germany has translated into increased spending. Ultimately this should help the deflation that has been hanging over the EU during the last quarter. However, although that is certainly good for the macro picture in Europe, it appears that a more cautious mindset has crept in for European traders.
Tonight, after the European markets have closed, we will see the release of the minutes from the last FOMC voting meeting. This was the meeting where the decision to start tapering the US debt-purchasing scheme was finally taken. Traders will no doubt be poring over the text in an effort to glean any insight into future actions and timeframes.
Since this is the case, a note of caution should be used for index traders, as the Germany 30 continues to hover just above the longer-term support of the bullish trend but below the December highs.
