Sankt Andreasberg is one of the highest ski resorts in the Oberharz region and offers everything skiers and snowboarders could wish for. These homes with a private sauna are located directly on the slopes. So you can enjoy the panoramic views of the beautiful landscape of the Oberharz region. You can relax your weary muscles in the private sauna and just enjoy the warmth after a busy day in the mountains. There is a 'ski room' with storage space in the spacious entrance area of the house. The house also has a fireplace for cosy winter evenings. The Matthias-Schmidt-Berg and the Sonnenberg are two of the snowiest ski resorts in the Oberharz region, located in the immediate vicinity of the cottage. Here you will find slopes for all levels of skiers and snowboarders. The ambitious skiers can try the steep slopes, while families can enjoy the expansive flatter slopes. There are several ski and snowboard schools for beginners who are willing to tackle their first slopes under supervision. This resort provides ideal skiing conditions, thanks to a modern snow making system and professional slope preparation. The ski resort, Sankt Andreasberg, has several shops where you can rent equipment for skiing, sledding and skating. Sankt Andreasberg also has a well-developed, 44 km long network of trails for cross-country skiing enthusiasts. They include groomed trails of light, medium and high difficulty levels. Some of the circular tracks pass right outside the front door of your holiday home. So you can start skiing right in front of your door step, complete the round trail and stop just steps away from your cosy house, tired but happy. You can then relax in the sauna or by the fireplace. A special attraction of Sankt Andreasberg is the snowtubing run, where you can whiz down a groomed hill on large tyres. It guarantees great fun and thrill for children and adults alike. There is also a toboggan area, where you can enjoy even in the evening, under the floodlights. You can go on one of the many winter walks which are offered in the resort and explore the romantic valleys and the idyllic heights, with or without snowshoes. In the evening you can make yourself comfortable in front of the bio-ethanol fireplace and enjoy the panoramic views of the beautiful mountain landscape of the Oberharz region. What better way to conclude an eventful day in the snow, than to sit by the fire and recollect the day's events? In summer, you can spend hours on the private terrace and enjoy long sun baths, barbecues or a leisurely breakfast of fresh fragrant bread. Even in summer, there are countless opportunities for sports and relaxation in the immediate vicinity, such as the long summer toboggan run and the longest continuous biking trail in Europe. You can also go whitewater rafting, nearby. If you prefer more peaceful activities, you can go hiking on one of the many hiking trails and explore the wonderful National Park of Harz. Many events are conducted here throughout the year, such as the traditional cattle drive in June, the wild Walpurgis Night on April 30 and the famous Deer Calling World Championships in September. Each house has a parking lot, which is located above the complex. The house is on a slope and is only accessible via a staircase (12 steps). Wi-Fi is available for a fee (payable by credit card). The flexible daily rate system is suitable for all types of budgets and holiday plans, such as a spontaneous short trip into nature, a weekend in the mountains, the long, relaxing summer holidays or a long ski holiday with friends. Other houses in this holiday village: DAN901 - DAN954. Some of the photos can be samples of identical houses. The actual colour of the furnishings and the house may vary.

Draft Streamlining Initiative Results Table - 67 Issues
In a press release on January 20, 2012 the County Executive, Isiah Leggett announced the start of the cross agency Streamlining Development effort. This latest initiative will make meaningful changes to the development application process by streamlining reviews and inspections. As an initial streamlining step, the County is consolidating construction inspections currently being done by the Department of Permitting Services (DPS) and Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Services (MCFRS). The Montgomery County Planning Board (MCPB) is kicking off this effort with a change to the way in which it reviews DPS issued building permits. All three agencies, along with others, have committed to collaborate to make their customer service more business-friendly, and make it easier to navigate the development process and obtain building permits.

The 007. Cardfile TRAVELER'S notebook has 12 sleeves and is made of PU.
Be it for business or from your latest travel destination, a business card collection of any sort is perfectly displayed in this card file. At Misc-store we had one customer discharging all paper refills, and using only card files in her TRAVELER'S notebook, the nicest business card folder we'd seen so far.
Replacing Refills
Just as the paper refills, the card file is easily added by sliding it underneath a sitting paper refill. It basically wraps around a regular refill like a cover.
TRAVELER'S notebook
A leather notebook cover, which can be transformed into the notebook you need it to be. We love that TRAVELER'S notebook is like a blank canvas, its starter kit is a leather cover and a blank refill notebook, which you can easily replace when full.
The beauty of TRAVELER'S notebook lies in the gamma beyond this starter kit. The 24 refills (for the regular size), ensures your can create your own notebook, which is different from everybody else's (that is, if you want it to be). Be it for journalling, happy planners, drawing, personal or business notes, you design the notebook and how often you use it.
TRAVELER'S Company
During ISOT in 2006, the leading stationery show in Japan, Midori developed the idea of TRAVELER'S notebook. Ten years later marks its anniversary and the foundation of TRAVELER'S Company, a new umbrella company next to Midori that holds everything we love and related to TRAVELER'S notebook. The product ranges of BRASS, KRAFT, Spiral Ring Notebook and TRAVELER'S notebook are now part of TRAVELER'S Company.
TN & Misc-store
Misc-store has been fans of TRAVELER'S notebook from the start and as such we feel honored to have sold all the limited editions thusfar. It was love at first sight with the Camel 5th Anniversary TRAVELER'S Notebook, and we applauded the camel passport edition of the STAR Edition, featuring the Hong Kong Star Ferry. We were one of the selected few to carry both ARMY edition's, in collaboration with vintage king Nigel Cabourn, and we love the BLUE edition and the 10th Anniversary Tin Boxes.
We also have been really fortunate to have hosted the first ever TRAVELER'S Factory Caravan in Europe, a tour of the TRAVELER'S notebook design team traveling to Amsterdam, London and Berlin.
12 Pockets, Made of PVC
Made in Japan

Since its establishment in 1950 the Japanese MIDORI brand manufactures goods that combine both aesthetic and functionality. They do this by paying special attention to beauty and materials used.Perhaps they are best know for their classic leather covered TRAVELER'S notebook. This notebook has a customisable interior. You can choose from the broad selection of notebook inserts to configure your ultimate personal notebook. But the MIDORI brand also creates separate quality collections consisting of paper products including letters, greetings cards, colored papers, stickers and notebooks amongst others. At misc-store we have chosen to offer their creative design stationery with sophisticated designs.

Others will keep the length and width as short as possible to conserve on fencing costs. It's obvious they have no idea how difficult it is to do any tensioning or anchor maintenance with those confining conditions.

All the Triforce Heroes fanart! Because I can!
Oh noooo it's 2016 already! :0
Well, let's keep on going then.
Let's go crazy! Journal Time.
I did not like her in-game costume design so I decided to bring her vain costume design & frills to the MAX! :D An intentional silly character
CONTENTS for your READING QUEST:
Year 2, Month 12 (2nd to 29th Dec)
Leonie Yue's Sketchbook
|Some Triforce Heroes Costumes
Wish I had 2 other friends to play this with >:
So just witness my fanart BurpDoodling from this game next month as well haha
|Tingle Tingle KooLoo LimPAH! :D
Tingle Costume! *throws confetti* A new year now!
Dating Like Losers | Undertale Fanart.
So. I have a soft spot for what if cute moments.
I truly believe they are the cutest couple in this game.
Who do you relate to most? :0
"I want to know!" | Rise of the Tomb Raider Game
So this reboot of the Lara Croft games seems like a really good game.
It was generally a good one-off movie at least from my end! Story is not amazing or mind blowing but passable.
I really don't relate to her as a character though. I'm confused as to what she's meant to be as I remember her as a rich, confident, fit, acrobatic, murderous lady so this is the confusing 2nd prequel.
BFFs!| Rise of the Tomb Raider Game
**Slight Spoilers** I liked how she ditched her overarching goal and chose to prioritise saving her friend's life (:
And I just wanted to draw her smug because she's a bit more happily confident in this game.
|Trying make a Heatwave more bearable as I don't have accessible AC
I'm doing something wrong here. Halp
So what is Art Style?! Ooh, Ramble time!
I am in no way an official Art Director! Like most artists however, I need to figure art style on my own. I'm always learning I say!
To the question:
I believe there are two ways to answer.
SIDE A: Art style = What are you communicating through your art? For what purpose?
So what kind of mood or emotion am I trying to convey?
If I want to showcase a wonderful, whimsy, fantasy and fun world of characters and their era then most people, projects, animation, games, etc would go for the colourful, toony, appealing, pixar-esque look. Or even the extreme Saturday morning graphic art style. Or perhaps a stop-motion clay-animated style as with Caroline or Box Trolls. Or I might even go for the gritty, realistic, dark look to spike up that contrast.
If I want to explore mature sexual and violent themes I could also portray that through Noir styles of art direction or muted colours of blues and greys, or Sin City styles of graphic colour or a limited palette of colour in a given and appropriate story beat. Or also turn that around and explore such themes with seemingly innocent and appealing visuals.
Figure out what suits my given story!
This can be tremendously fun and challenging especially when I'd like to be creative with it but not too far and beyond to the point that the audience has nothing familiar or recognisable to latch onto, to help them interpret and understand what they're seeing.
Unless that *is* my intention for the audience to feel: lost and confused!
I believe art style is all about how I want to visually communicate that atmosphere and mood to my audience, ladies and gentlemen ;D
And it's fun to play with different styles than to get stuck on just one!
SIDE B: Art Style = on a personal and specialised level; how a given artist enjoys approaching & depicting subject matter.
Art Style, to elaborate further is how we'd like to interpret, visualise and express life.
What aspects of the subject matter I strive to exaggerate, detail or simplify.
It's a super combination in how we approach making visual imagery.
How we compose, how we choose colours,
whether we focus a lot on hair, eyes and skin pores
or if we make hands intentionally huge
or if we're striving for loose and flowing painterly expression
or there are patterns and details we omit completely in our rock formations
or we just enjoy doing pin ups with incredibly painful body proportions
or enjoy painting and getting lost in the clouds
or we simply want to draw colourful and cute things
Plus we need to be aware that the more we enjoy the subject matter or feature, the more detail and focus there tends to be when we draw and paint them.
Art style ideally involves =
making art we enjoy looking at + proud to have made & to be shown to others
While the Bonus is that we actually enjoy the process of making it.
All three combined would be awesome!
An artist's personal art style is their voice.
Their preferred way of artistic expression.
Essentially it is very important to us and regardless of however long it takes for us to find our own two feet - it will keep evolving. Don't get stuck!
As long as we, the artist, keeps growing!
Many ask: "So how does one find their art style? Halp!!"
I'm figuring myself out too! But hey, there's art styles that are marketable and popular and then there is our own emerging art style where we simply use to communicate and express yourself for fun and for our own selfish reasons. (:
Sticking to one art style only is definitely a risky thing to do, especially if we're not reaching a defined niche (given that you're also a working artist).
Most artists stay flexible, learn and study from other artists' art styles and from observing life. They move on and develop their own. For the growing artist, this cycle repeats.
So let's just keep learning! Unless your client has defined it for you, do not worry about *your own* art style! Hone down on SIDE A's aspect of Art Style instead and explore/tackle the styles of others and interpret your version of life too. Don't pigeonhole your work to one art style either. It gets boring.
I'm striving to do this too; focusing on what I'm trying to convey and just exploring!
In time we will find what works and doesn't work.
Believe in yourself. In whatever creative endeavour you're venturing. (:
Getting focused on BurpAvatars & Art Streams Train ride aho!
So I started this mailing list - see more information within.
Currently I'm busy figuring out a system, pricing, what I'm offering exactly and examples. I'll be doing this for the next two months. Rest assured, I have my own deadline so that I'm not planning forever!
And sure in the coming month or two I'm trying out Twitch. But I'm not doing Patreon anymore so this is really me doing this for fun and for free (well there's probably ads by Twitch and that's out of my control though)!
I don't have a vague business plan for this side project yet as right now it is a trial period. Maybe just plugging my art commissions? Hopefully all this YouTube/stream stuff just allows me to interact with people more when I can. (:
If you're keen, I'll mention it on Facebook for my first time streaming but that'll be it! I'd rather keep my Facebook mostly out of this actually, so keep tabs on twitter or even twitch in regards to when I'll be live! Again, I don't mind if I'm just doing it live by myself as I'm a newbie after all. Oh if you miss out, the full stream recordings will be transferred to my YouTube channel (:
That's all, just had to mention that it's in the works! ;D
Oh I don't know how but somehow I got featured with my 2 year old Poker Painting here at this game artist curation project artinplay.com :0
The past two weeks: it's ok
So it's been alright with a sprinkle of good and introspective, restless times in between. Especially now that the Hermit Burpcast is done, this is truly the only home for my reflections. (:
As with many people, I've been thinking what to focus on and the above is what resulted. Well there's probably more, such as keep making art, learn more and grow more as a person.
Keep developing friendships?
Letting go friendships with others?
Starting anew?
Sure Christmas happened and the New Year is happening but what now...?
Sometimes you get exasperated with yourself and wonder why you're doing this and doubting if you're working hard and smart enough. And you write things like this because you need to clarify things further with yourself.
Hello. Hello fear and loneliness. My two of my good old friends.
Honestly, it actually feels welcoming to embrace sadness (yes I finally watched Inside Out) every now and again. Not that I'm depressed!
I actually utilise this feeling to help me understand others better, appreciate the happier times, strive to be kind to others when I'm feeling genuine about it and hopefully grow into a more empathetic person. It also allows me to be more silly and happy because I've allowed myself to feel the sadness and then let it go.
I feel, let it go and then I forget most of it over time and move on; it's not easy but I trust that I'll get through it.
And I know sadness will come back.
When it does, I'll welcome it again (:
Oh no, I'm not afraid to write about these things because I am not reaching for outside pity but I'm mostly reaching inward really. I've long cast aside that feeling that I could only show my happy and silly side since this post here.
I'm not trying to make this seem "romantic" as I'm just saying it as I believe it is, we've all got bad and good times! Plus it's great to appreciate and be grateful with what we have, rather than clawing and wishing for more things as the excuse for nothing doing or getting what we wanted from life.
Perhaps it might help someone reading this who's been lurking. (:
No doubt I always feel left behind when I'm still building and figuring out my career the long and hard way. While old classmates of mine are probably tackling their careers, families, partners and children too.
That said, I'm technically just 2 years into "the real world" since graduating. While there are the few super stars that take off into their careers during their studies already, many more artists are admirably sticking to it 4-7 or even 10 years into struggling as a freelancer before anything took off for them.
And the rare ones still love doing it despite all the trials and tribulations.
Sure thing, I am not entitled more than anyone else out there to achieve my dreams! I believe that one needs to earn it and also the respect! I'm part of the nobodies club on the global scale, but I can't deny that I do have a special small handful of you supporting me out there.
I am honoured and grateful for your time, dear reader.
I don't care if I say it so much that it loses all meaning; thank you, it truly helps and terribly encouraging when you pop out of nowhere and give me feedback when I was expecting nothing at all.
And then you lurk and hide away once again; hey! I do that too, I get it haha
Social media is increasingly overwhelming for everybody. Though sadly enough it's how I engage with people most of the time as the Hermit Burp.
I digress! As usual, let's go!
Gotta keep believing. ;)
Thanks! Keep adventuuuring you!
Phoar! Here we are.
Apparently I'm a mix of Wendell the Walrus (give me food & I'll paint) & Sable the Hedgehog (reserved & takes ages to warm up to people) from the Animal Crossing series >__<;
Digressing! See you in 4 weeks!
Or at the YouTube Art Stream in 2 or so weeks! (:
I'll be talking about games and movies and draw!! Yeah!!

I didnt inherit a "fearlessness gene" from my father,so i've never flown and i wont be flying anytime soon and my inner voice has often told me that if i ever do go up into the sky in an airplane,that airplane "will crash" and it "will kill" me,so i never will and i'm not a bird or a dragon,god didnt give me wings to fly,or fins and gills to swim with sharks either and so i'll never be eaten by a shark,unless of course a mega-tsunami comes along and washes one up into my back yard...

That must be an awesome freeing feeling. How long is your average sustained flight?
I'm a wannabe surfer not a glider, I'd rather be flying than riding waves. I can't even guesstimate how long you could sustain flight with ideal wind conditions, how many hours? Is that New Zealand scenery?
The current duration record (endurance really, sort of like flag pole sitting) is about 24.5 hours.

A great YouTube video: Dear Mr Darcy
An open letter to Mr Darcy.
Produced by Sense and Spontaneity in partnership with The Gelo Company.
Written and performed by Esther Longhurst and Jessica Messenger.
Sound by Nathan Jay @AudiOh. Filmed, directed and edited by Robert Woods at Sandbox. Hair and makeup by Kate Anderson.
With special thanks to Chandelabra Weddings and Events.
Find us on Facebook!
Dear Mr Darcy, Dear Mr Darcy
Verse One:
Dear Mr Darcy we're composing a letter
We'll discuss your merits how you could be doing better
You're the picture of gentility despite your lack of cheer
And no one could object to 10,000 pounds a year
You have all the qualities of a desirable man
But if you're open to feedback we hope that you can
Take on just one instruction couldn't possibly hurt
For you to spend more time in a wet white shirt
Dear Mr Darcy we don't want to be cruel
But if we saw you on the street we'd push you into a pool
Dear Mr Darcy we don't mean to be curt
But we only want to see you in a wet white shirt
Verse Two:
You pay of wretched weddings with stealth and bribery
And behind closed doors have an enourmous library
You like your hems dirty and admire fine eyes
But only if they're brightened by exercise
You're rude, abrasive and you don't enjoy balls
You forget the main point it's not about his flaws
Let's give positive feedback, let's take a look
At his finest moment – It's not even in the book!
We know you're not perfect — Let's agree on that
But your bodies pretty close not a skerrick of fat
We don't understand how you're keeping it so tight
We insist that what it's covered in is wet and white
Dear Mr Darcy we don't want to be mean
But the thought of you in dry clothes is just obscene
Dear Mr Darcy you're keeping it tight
We insist that what it's covered in is wet and white
Fitzwilliam Darcy the reason you're likeable
Is not because you're rich, attractive and reliable
Or because the grounds at Pemberley are desirable
What we really want is a mind that's pliable
Although it might seem despicable
We fall in love for reasons that are typical
It's not until we realise your characters changeable
We want the perfect man to be rearrangeable!
Verse Three:
Please forgive us for our lack of piety
We're justified by your impropriety
We know you're not an object we really do
We're ashamed of ourselves we swear it's true
Having said that now if you could take the time
Could you ride a horse all covered in grime?
Or chop down a tree all sweaty and glowing?
Or lean in to the wind when it subtly blowing?
It doesn't matter who plays you but for what it's worth
We'll always close our eyes and think of Colin Firth
Every Woman, ever.

I listened to a rebroadcast of Marian McPartland's 1979 interview of Jazz Great Bill Evans. I am so happy to have found the link to the interview because there are some comments made by Mr. Evans that are absolutely priceless and incredibly insightful. I am listening to it as I type. My readers who are jazz musicians will appreciate some of the funny comments made in the interview too.
Marian was surprised to learn that Bill played wedding gigs. He said, "Of course!" somewhat surprised that someone would think he was not out there doing the same things the rest of us do. And in all fairness, I think most of us forget that the top jazz stars were at one time the great unknowns. :)
"Intuition has to lead knowledge but it can't be out there on its own."
Bill's comments resonate with me at this time because I am one month into a four month commitment to take jazz lessons from former University of North Texas Professor Dan Hearle. His bio is at the link. During his career he has taught untold numbers of jazz students. The fact that I am taking lessons from him should in no way elevate my reputation, anyone can take lessons – you just need to pay the tuition. But Bill Evans' comments about jazz struck a chord with me, (a b9b13 is you must know!) :)
Bill spoke about the importance of knowing the fundamentals of a piece. How often have I jumped right into a piece and started soloing on the changes, never giving the tune a good fundamental examination. Dan Hearle is right in line with Evans' comment. There is a melody. There is a chord. There is a scale. "Oh, you mean I am supposed to pay attention to that?" I think. Bill says that after you have those fundamentals down, you can "move around", and then he plays a few examples – and of course, I have no idea what he is doing, but even I can grasp the notion of being firmly rooted in the fundamentals of a piece. And I am encouraged, because even an intermediate player can – and seemingly must – learn the fundamentals of the piece.
Bill's comment finds its way home when he adds that "Intuition without knowledge is out there by itself." I am listening to the program again so I can get the exact quote. (See below). It was priceless. Improvisation, so says Bill, is 90% knowledge and 10% intuition. If you don't have the knowledge, the intuition isn't going to be enough. And Bill really got to know a piece. Marian reminded him that he once said, "I would rather play one song for 24 hours than play 24 tunes in an hour." Bill laughed in agreement.
"Have a complete picture of the basic structure" before you work from there. Structure is the "abstract, theoretical thing" in a piece. He plays C to its dominant G7, and he is thinking about a pedal point so he can set up the "thing" — and then he plays a bit — "Now again [music plays] now we are going to modulate to E major, now we have to get back to C through its dominant" and so on….
And it is just awesome to sit here listening to Bill explain how he plays. I am LOVING this.
I have heard that Bill Evans was a microscopic player. He knew every nuance of the piece. That is what his music reveals, but it is the PROCESS of moving from the fundamentals to a base of knowledge, then contemplation of the abstractions, and then "moving around". The product grows.
Marian said that a lot of musicians really don't know the pieces they are playing, and Bill agreed and nailed the point with: "Intuition has to lead knowledge but it can't be out there on its own." (That's the exact quote. I was close!). "If it's on its own, you're going to flounder sooner or later." Students need to know that, Bill says. "Knowing the problem is 90% of solving it."
"The problem is to be clear and get down to basic structure."
Of course, when we listen to one of the jazz greats there isn't much to prompt us to remember that what we are hearing is based on a strong awareness of the basic structure, the "problem", and the additive process the artist went through to develop the tune. Sure, I might practice one tune for 24 hours, but Bill Evans – with his level of talent – is going to get more out of that practice session than I would. But that isn't really the point, is it? The point is that I will get more out of my music if I follow the same ritual. it might not sound as good as Bill Evans (guaranteed!) but it will sound a whole heck of a lot better than what I doing when I just opened the Real Book and started jamming.
"Get back to the basics." How many times have we heard that in all types of situations. We get so far down the road – lost, muddled in despair – and someone reminds us, "Get back to the basics. Review the fundamentals." Sure enough, intuition was out there by itself, and the syncopated rhythms, long miserable lines, the poor voicings are the sounds of floundering, not jazz.
If you're a jazz pianist, you are already listening to the show. If you're not, let me tempt you one more time. It's a window into the music of Bill Evans – a voice from the past, with good advise for your future. And for a little inspiration from our time, listen to Dan Hearle's live performance of his new CD, with some insights from other musicians.

I live in a small town. True we are right outside of a big city, Madison but still, other than morning and evening traffic we are relatively quiet.
I'm on my way to the market and to run some errands when I notice a police car pass me then turn around and come up behind me.
I don't panic. I might start to feel the "heat" no pun intended, but I'm going the speed limit so he can't possibly be following me.
He hasn't turned on his lights yet so I figure he just had a change of mind. Believe me when I say I stayed UNDER the 20 miles an hour past the school.
At the stop light he suddenly decides to put on his lights. Great! WHERE DO YOU THINK I CAN GO NOW?
It can't be me. Can't be. I'M INNOCENT I TELL YOU.
The light changes and I slide over to the side of the road and he goes a half a block then pulls into the market.
Great. He's going to wait for me there? I know, I know, it's not about me. I'm not Catholic, where is all this guilt coming from?
I pull into the market and of course, the only parking space is next to another police car. That makes two of them.
Big sigh of relief. I might be worthy of one police car but not two.
Inside, nobody seems to know anything but by the time I had done my quick run through the store and was checking out I was told by my friend Jessie, the bagger that the Canine Unit had arrived.
Murphy, is of course, going nuts in the car. Barking at the large German Shepard, barking at Jessie for putting things in his car and just pissed all around.
The police person sitting in the squad car next to me is grinning at me. I guess Murphy does that to some people. He's rather like a bouncy Star Wars character.
Sitting in the back of the squad car are two young men. Not good.
Now, I could back out and go on my way but when photographer keeps her camera, in her car, battery charged and ready to go, she snaps pictures.
Sheriffs Department, local police force, Canine Unit well that all deserves picture, don't you think.
They were taking this car apart.
A good guess, drugs......... I snapped my pictures as I pulled out of the parking lot. Kept my head down and drove home very carefully.
But, I do confess to being a Lookieloo. You know, one of those nosey people that has to slow down going past an accident just to see what happened.
I'm not THAT kind of lookieloo but parking lots? Well.............maybe that kind.
My art, my family, my friends, my environment all impact what I do in and out of the Studio. These are just observations, thoughts, ideas and chatter about anything and everything. Photography by B. NEAL

Selective Memories
Our memories are often vague, imperfect and frequently embellished. Images, songs and smells trigger a flood of memories that are unique to each person. As a child, my family would often go on camping trips, usually to the forest or the ocean. My father enjoyed being on the road, seeing what here was to see – from him I learned that every moment had potential, every change of scenery could be interesting, every stop along the way was worthy of at least a moment's notice. This series, like my childhood memories, is about fragments, moments glimpsed along the way, about the journey, not the destination.

St. Joseph Hospital was founded in 1873 making it the oldest hospital in Berks County. The original 2-story building was replaced in May 1885 on a 3½ acre site at 12th & Walnut Streets in Reading at a cost of $60,000. An addition to this building was completed in 1895 for $85,000. The architect(s) for these projects is not known to us. However, from 1923 to 1959 our firm was involved with a number of projects for St. Joseph Hospital at the 12th Walnut Streets campus.
For Mr. Muhlenberg's first project for the hospital he was commissioned by the Board of Trustees in 1923 to design an annex to the hospital which would alleviate the severely congested conditions at the facility. This annex was designed to front North 12th Street, extending east along Walnut Street where it would connect to the present hospital. The addition contained modern surgical facilities on the top floor with the lower floors containing private, semi-private, and small public wards totaling, approximately, 70 beds.
In October 1924 the project was bid and subsequently awarded at a cost of $474,000. The addition, when completed in 1925, made St. Joseph Hospital one of the largest and most modern hospitals in the state.
During the course of the next 25 years Mr. Muhlenberg was involved with a variety of renovations and additions at the hospital, including a new wing for the school of nursing, which was completed in 1951.
In September 2007, St. Joseph Hospital moved to a new modern facility at its present location in Bern Township, and donated the 12th & Walnut Streets campus to the Reading School District. The School District eventually demolished the facility to build their Intermediate High School on this site. St. Joseph Hospital's relocation to Bern Township in 2007 left the city of Reading without a hospital for the first time in 134 years.

Rolex Trumps Everybody
A few weeks ago, Rolex tossed a trump card in the continuing smack down of unique offerings by various luxury watch brands. You may know there are all manner of unpublicized perks being offered these days, in an attempt to lure your business and woo your dollars. Most are played very close to the vest.
But this one is right out there in the open: a five year warranty on all new watches, beginning July 1, 2015. This includes the Cellini line as well. Apparently not Tudor, however.
And if you purchased your watch on June 30 (or any time back to July 1, 2013) you're not totally out of luck. Rolex has tacked on an extra year to your two year warranty.
(Of course, since the news was announced on June 22, you should have waited to buy your new Rollie until the calendar flipped to July. But that's another story…)

Hi Everyone,
Several of you have been reaching out to us trying to figure out what happened to the cooking classes that were online less than a week ago.
Unfortunately, we've shut down the class registration temporarily until we know DEFINITELY when the doors will open. Two Monday's ago, our equipment vendor called with the news of another setback, and now, we are staring down a 3-5 week delay. Ouch.
We understand your excitement and your frustration to get out and do something new, but I promise you no one is more disappointed than we are to be delayed once again. I've been at this since April and it's been riddled with stops and starts almost every month. According to my original plans, I should've been open September 15.
But I can't go back.
It is unfortunately, the nature of the beast. Those of you who have built or remodeled your home, you feel my pain.
That's okay. An old boss of mine used to say, the only way to get past it is to go through it.
So onward!
I sat down with Doug, my executive chef, today and we packed the January schedule with even more interesting classes than the December schedule. We have some DC's biggest "celeb" chefs. We have the Etiquette School of Virginia teaching us about the Art of Mingling and Dining Savvy.
Chef Gretchen Gates is going to show us how to cook for health by keeping all the bad stuff out of our food: sugar, white flour, preservatives. She's also going to show you how to sneak veggies in your kids' food, a la Jessica Seinfeld's cookbook, Deceptively Delicious, but Gretchen goes one step further to teach us about "superfoods" and how to cook them and how to get your whole family eating well. Gretchen owned a catering company in Arizona, and through a series of interesting twists began helping people manage their Fibromyalgia and Multiple Sclerosis through their diet. She has seen amazing results with very simple changes.
We have an I Can't Cook! skills class series, for all of you who would like to enjoy cooking but don't know where to start.. We're also offering an amazing bread class, Asian inspired cuisine classes and wine tastings.
Chef Tabetha Martinez is hosting couples nights with her personal trainer husband. Bring your significant other, and they will show you how to get dinner on the table in record time by splitting tasks, working together and at the same time eating good, healthy food.
We're also planning a great men's cooking class, "MAKE. EAT!" Hoo haa. No ladies allowed. We promise not to make you wear an apron unless you want one, and if you want to bring your own knives, that's cool.
Then there's FAMILY NIGHT! Imagine this...you and your husband/partner/best friend take your kids to Cookology. The adults spend the night making braised Moroccan chicken with parmesan polenta and wilted spinach, and finish with creme brulee, all in the professional kitchen. And the kids, with one of our kid's instructors in the kid's kitchen, make wheat pizza dough, pizza sauce from scratch and top it off with veggies, meats and a variety of cheeses. Don't forget the parfait sundaes for dessert! Then miracle of miracles everyone sits down to eat together! How fun is that going to be?
Now...if only we can get the doors open! Hang in there my new friends, we have so much to share with you.

Ancient Bronze Age Metallurgy History Spain Iberia Origins Tarshish Tartessians Tarsisi Phoenicians Rio Tinto Mines Sierra Morena Nevada Mountains Where Was Atlantis Empire Table Nations Biblical Ice Age Timeline End Geography Plato's Atlantean Empire
The fanstasically rich mines of the Rio Tinto region of southern Spain are reputed by many to have been the first and richest source of copper, gold, and silver in the ancient world, there evidence that "neolithic" mining was practiced long before the Phoenicians arrived circa 1100 b.c. to continue the exploitation of the region's rich mineral wealth, so who mined the region before those Phoenicians arrived?
Of course the Tartessians are known to have been the first people there, undoutedly among the first to mine the region a thousand years before the Phoenicians arrived across the Mediterranean from Tyre, but who were the Tartessians? Their ancient name for the great Guadalquiver River flowing into the the Atlantic at Cadiz near Gibraltar was the Tarsisi River, clearly the same name as the Tarshish of the Bible.
The ancient name for the Rio Tinto River was the Iber, also a biblical figure from the Table of Nations in Genesis, Eber having been the father of the Peleg, namesake of the great seafaring Pelasgians and patriarch of the Hebrews. So when you understand that Atlas, son of Posidon in Plato's Atlantis, was therefore a grandson of Canaan (Posidon his son Sidon), then you can see that Atlas, Sidon, and Tarshish, were the founders of the Atlantean empire, which Plato said was a coastal empire extending all the way to Italy and Libya, and outside the Pillars of Hercules (Gibraltar) too.
Plato wrote that a mountain range rich with minerals was to the north of the Atlantean Plain, those mountains obviously the Sierra Morena and Nevada, the richest mining district in the ancient world, the main source of the wealth of Atlantis, where the metals were shipped down the Iber and Tarsisi rivers to the ocean ports of Atlantis, the ruins of which have been found in many locations off southern Spain, the city of Atlantis suspected submerged about 30 miles south of Cadiz since the end of the Ice Age, which actually happened at the time of the Exodus. Explore here http://genesisveracityfoundation.com/submerged-ruins-atlantis, and be sure to ask your professors why these ruins are not further discussed?

Why Wayne Rooney is a bad Number 10
At the last world cup in South Africa we saw a resurgence in the number 10 position. Wesley Sneijder,Mesut Ozil,Xavi Hernandez all played starring roles for their teams in the World Cup. After the World Cup in 2010, the number 10 position like everything else in football evolved. Wesley Sneijder declined quickly partly due to his form and partly due to teams unable to fit him in. Ozil who is a bit different to Sneijder and is more proactive enjoyed success for sometime but later was shipped out to Arsenal from Real Madrid primarily because of his lack of impact in the big matches.
Jonathan Wilson in 2013 had pointed out that Sneijder was the past, Ozil the present and Toni Kroos the future of the number 10 position. Kroos a hardworking and an efficient player is more tactically aware and defensively responsible than the others. This tendency to lean towards a more hard working and a reliable player as the number 10 can be attributed to the rise of the deep lying playmaker. In Euro 2012,Germany against Holland played a basic 4-2-3-1 and used overloads on the right to score goals. This was possible for the reason that both Nigel de Jong and Van Bommel weren't accomplished passers and Sneijder was given a free role.
But up against Italy with Pirlo in scintillating form, Loew changed his formation and played Kroos as his number 10 and shifted Ozil to the right.
Of course Germany didn't win that day,but Loew's tactics and his team selection that day clearly indicates how the role of a number 10 has changed.
Coming to England and Manchester United's number 10,Wayne Rooney has a long history of not tracking the opposition's deep playmaker. From Sergio Busquets in the 2011 Champions League final to Pirlo in the Euro 2012,Sir Alex finally realised this fact and dropped him for the second leg against Real Madrid in Champions League quarter finals 2013. With Xabi Alonso controlling the tempo for Real,it was vital that United had someone to disrupt him and Danny Welbeck did this job perfectly until he was shifted out wide after Nani was sent off.
For all his qualities, Rooney lacks the discipline to play the role to perfection. He often gets impatient without the ball and starts dropping deeper and deeper. This might seem like "He is helping his team out" or "He is a team player" but adhering to tactical instructions is key and Rooney doesn't have the required discipline to do that. His close control and his first touch aren't good enough and the inherent ability to drop between lines which is a must for any Number 10 doesn't come natural for Rooney as he always looks to move towards the ball rather than wait for it.
He doesn't have the nimble feet nor the ability to turn in tight places, he can still bulldoze through defences and of course has a very good finish in him. Wayne Rooney had his best season during 2009-11 when he playing as a lone striker up front,he scored a career best 34 goals that season. His vision and his long diagonal balls are still exceptional and maybe a couple of years down the line with more experience he can prolong his career by playing deeper. The main problem for Rooney is that he is the jack of all trades rather than the master of one, he can pass, he can shoot, he can tackle, he can run and has boundless energy.
Which means he can put a decent shift wherever he plays on the park. This coupled with his energy and his selflessness on the pitch means he is rarely present in the area from where he can inflict the most damage. Louis van Gaal has to find a solution for this problem as Manchester United have two very good number 10s in Kagawa and Mata and a lethal striker in Robin Van Persie. Whether Rooney is ok with reverting to playing on the left which he did during the days of Ronaldo and Tevez is doubtful. And for Roy Hodgson, the question is whether he'll opt to play both Sturridge and Rooney or only Rooney upfront.

Why do dogs scratch?
Scratching is a common behavior of dogs. Our furry friends scratch the ground before, they lay down. They scratch the ground after urinating and defecating. To the consternation of an owner, a dog will scratch the doggie bed until the cushion and the doggie blanket is a mess. A dog would scratch for no apparent reason. To a dog, scratching is fun.
A dog is noted to have an unaccountable desire to scratch and bite its body. However excessive scratching is indicative of problem. The dog would frantically scratch the body or a leg, walk in circles…lie down and scratch again until the part of the body being scratched is raw and bleeding. Excessive scratching can be due to a number of reasons.
- Why do dogs chew?
While chewing is a natural behavior for dogs and can easily help promote healthy teeth, gums and jaw muscles. There is also a back side to chewing. Sometimes a dog may direct its chewing habits at objects that are deemed off-limits. This...
- Why do dogs scratch the ground?
Dogs tend to scratch the ground for a variety of reasons. They usually scratch becuase it is fun and thus it helps relieve boredom. In extremely hot or cold conditions dogs may dig a hole in the ground to help control their body temperature...
Parasite infestation
Fleas, ticks, ear mites can be the culprits that makes the dog scratch excessively. When these parasites make a home in the fur and body of the dog, the infestation will make the pet extremely uncomfortable. Excessive scratching would result to inflamed skin and lesions that can get infected. Fortunately parasite infestation can be easily eradicated. With regular grooming, an owner will notice a parasite infestation before it becomes a serious problem.
After playing outdoors the pet may have been exposed to the allergens from plants and grasses. Allergic reactions cause the dog to scratch. Naturally it would not be possible to remove the plants from the dogs' environment. Neither would it be a good idea to keep the dog forever inside the house. A change of food can make the dog itch. Obviously there is an ingredient that can not be tolerated by the dog's system. Take the pet to a veterinary facility. The vet may not be able to pinpoint the allergens but for sure he can prescribe medications that will make the pet comfortable.
The dog's diet
The dog's scratching may be the result of a diet that makes the skin dry and flaky. This condition is seen in dogs fed with low quality dog food that mostly contain cereal fillers. Premium quality food would be expensive but apart from providing the pet with good nutrition the healthy skin of the pet will also be ensured.
Scratching the kennel, the door, the carpet and the furniture is the dog's way of attracting the attention of the master. This behavior is most common in bored dogs. Dogs have high exercise requirements. A pet that is left alone inside the house or leashed in the backyard will manifest its boredom by being destructive.
A nervous dog would frantically scratch. If humans bite the nails when nervous, dogs scratch their bodies to deal with the stress.

Codi Vore's first hardcore on Scoreland just got better, because she's going to jack, suck, and tit-fuck. Seriously, I love the POV angle of being able to grope boobs as if Codi was personally giving you a lingerie strip tease.
Sara has short hair, a bubbly personality, thick body, and BIG booty. She's perfect for Casting Couch HD, she can bounce up and down like a champ, tits in the air and smile on her face. She's intense, and that's so fucking sexy.
I go on Zishy for realism and Milly Marks brings it today. That real moment when this BBW beauty is flashing her huge boobs in a restaurant, then takes you back home only to show off her sexy black lingerie. I love real.
I got exclusive word about a newcomer on Czech Casting, her name is Eva. Once I saw this thick bbw beauty taking off her skirt and showing off just how big her boobs are, naturally I got interested in Eva's of the world.

Brian Coker was about to go to lunch on Tuesday 22 February 2011 when an earthquake registering 6.3 strikes at 12.51pm in Christchurch. Mr Coker, a financial adviser with Perpetual relives the day from his bed at Waikato Hospital in Hamilton.
It had been a normal day. Earlier on I dropped my wife Helen off at the airport. She was going to Palmerston North to visit relatives.
Just before 1pm I was leaving my first floor office in Perpetual Group to go to lunch. I was on the landing about to go down the main stairs when the earthquake hit. I hung on to the balustrade, the ceiling tiles started falling around me. I was swept off my feet when a concrete wall fell on me.
I knew straight away I was pinned and there was no way I could get myself out.
I thought I was going to die. I was in two minds whether to txt Helen or not as I didn't want to worry her. But I wanted to tell her I loved her and that I may not survive.
(Helen got a txt message at 1.03pm – she was in Palmerston North visiting relatives – Brian also txted his children and then turned his phone off to save battery power as the signal was intermittent)
The pain was excruciating – I had blood dripping from my head. There were a few after shocks, I actually moved some loose panels to give myself protection as panels, and concrete dust and bits and pieces fell.
I just wanted there to be a decent after shock to finish it.
I sort of thought that on the one hand if I lost consciousness it would just ease the pain but I presumed then that I would just die. I had to keep breathing so I did my labour deep breathing exercises. I had no water and the concrete dust was in my nose, in my mouth.
I don't know when rescuers came but it was some hours later.
(Helen had rung Marton Police Station and patched through to national headquarters. She was able to tell police that her husband was in the Pyne Gould building on level one in the landing. She told them what he looked like and what he was wearing. She also said she had a txt from him).
One of the rescuers gave me a drink of water. They were very reassuring; they came and went and then went away for quite a time and came back with engineers. They kept reassuring me they would get me out. I could hear other people screaming in the building. There was nobody else on the landing.
I didn't know they were going to amputate my legs but I should have known. They cut my trousers and they did that while I was still conscious. They had no choice. I don't remember anything of the procedure. When the rescuers came at about 7pm they said they would get me out. They'd been in once before and given me some morphine.
I don't remember the amputation because I was anaesthetised. I was properly and professionally anaesthetised. I owe my life to Helen for contacting the emergency services and my brother Malcolm who is a paramedic.
I'm grateful for the support of my family, friends and clients. I'd like to thank Perpetual Group because they have been extremely supportive and to the wider Pyne Gould corporation.
(Helen caught the ferry to the South Island and then drove to Christchurch arriving at 7am on Wednesday. Later on they said Brian would be going to Waikato Hospital and he went on a medical flight. Helen and her son caught a commercial flight out of Christchurch at 9pm to Auckland where her daughter picked her up and took them to Hamilton. They arrived at 1am. They did not get any sleep for 48 hours)
We're a company that looks after families and staff are the first family.
I'd like to meet the doctors and rescuers at some time but I would like to thank them.
The care I'm getting at Waikato Hospital is brilliant and I know I am in the right place and getting the right treatment.
Doctors say I will be in hospital for several weeks. The stumps have to heal, there will be more operations and then I will have rehabilitation.
I'm concerned for my family, friends and clients still in Christchurch who are going through continuing aftershocks. I particularly feel for those who have lost loved ones and my heart goes out to them. I have colleagues who are injured and colleagues who are missing and my condolences go out to their families.
Life will never be the same for so many people including me. But what has not changed for me is my love for my family, friends and clients.
I was reasonably healthy before all this – pretty fit – so that will help me I'm sure.
(Helen and Brian have been married more than 25 years – he is from Oamaru and she is from Ashburton)
Sound clip: Listen to Brian Coker talk about his experience and thank those who rescued him.

Optimalon Software has released version 4.3 of 1DCutX – a cutting optimization add-in for Microsoft Excel. The new version introduces the ability to cut linear parts from stocks with appropriate diameters and /or material types. This highly anticipated feature requires only one inventory spreadsheet file that lists all linear stocks instead of multiple files for different diameters and material types.
Manufacturing companies that work with linear materials like pipes, bars, beams or poles have already been getting huge saving from employing 1DCutX. Diversified Machine, Inc. (Pennsylvania, USA) has reduced the material waste on average from 12 inches to less than an inch per a stock. The company cuts steel, aluminum and titanium bars for its products and reports savings on raw materials in a range of $200 to $1500 per month by using 1DCutX.
Denis Smirnov, from Optimalon Software, explains, "We've been pleased with success stories from our clients and always appreciate any comments they have about our product. The most required feature missed by our clients was linking stocks and parts by some attributes. Clients working with pipes and tubes wanted to use stock and parts diameters. Clients from construction businesses wanted to use material types (I-Beams, T-Beams, etc.). After spending some time for research, we decided to use both attributes."
The user specifies additional ranges of cells containing diameters of the stocks and parts, and 1DCutX uses only such stocks that have the same diameter as required parts. For example, if part A1 has a diameter of 2 inches, then it will be cut only from stocks with a 2-inche diameter.
Combining diameters and material types allows even more flexibility. If a project requires cutting bars with different diameters from different materials, then the user specifies two ranges of cells: one for diameter and another for materials. For example, part A1 (2-inch diameter) needs to be cut from aluminum, and part B1 with the same diameter has to be cut from steel bars.
The clients used to run 1DCutX several times for each unique diameter or material type. Afterwards, the clients had to combine results from several spreadsheets into one. Linking parts and stocks by diameters or material types allows them to optimize the whole project at once, improving productivity and simplifying project management.
1DCutX works on Microsoft Excel 2003 – 2010 and costs $69. Free trial version is available on Optimalon's website: http://www.optimalon.com/length_cutting_excel.htm

It's as if the thought came crawling from the depths of the ocean, running through the surf, and bouncing across the beach into my head: what ever happened to Yasmine Bleeth?
In a show full of blondes with fake boobs (see Pamela Anderson and Nicole Eggert), Yasmine was a refreshing change of scenery. Men everywhere fell in love with the buxom brunette and despite her last name resembling a sound one makes while kneeling over a toilet after too many shots of whiskey, she was an instant star. She consistently landed on FHMs 100 Sexiest Women in the World (1996-2001) and even had her own line of swimwear called Yaz Wear. Yes, that's a terrible name for a line of clothing.
After four years of bliss on Baywatch, she packed up her red bathing suit and disappeared. I was devastated. Think of the worst breakup you've ever experienced and you'll know how I felt when Yasmine left Baywatch in 1997. Sure there were various roles in TV shows and TV movies, but they didn't involve her wearing a bathing suit 96% of the time. How could she do this to the world when we needed her most? Needless to say, I required years and years of therapy. Many issues are still unresolved. Hopefully writing this post will help put some of these issues behind me.
So what went wrong? Well, at the peak of her career, like so many men had been hooked on Yasmine, Yasmine got hooked on cocaine. It was so bad she actually collapsed at a photo shoot for Glamour at one point, not unlike how I collapsed when I heard Yasmine left Baywatch. She eventually hooked up with a strip club owner, Paul Cerrito, in her first visit to rehab. They later got in a car accident because they were beyond high, and as a result were arrested and put on probation and sent back to rehab. Don't worry though, she got clean, and they got married. Love conquers all. In this case, it even conquered cocaine. In 2003, Bleeth returned to the beach one last time for the Baywatch TV movie: Hawaiian Wedding. I still cry when I watch it.
Where is she now? Earlier in 2010, Yasmine reminded the world she's still got it, even in her 40s, when she posed for this Milk ad:
At the age of 42, she's now quite content living as a housewife in Birmingham Michigan, obviously not even considering the wake of broken hearts she left behind her. Will we see more of her? A part of me hopes so, a part of me hurts too much knowing she'll never be mine. But whenever I feel like caving in and going to Michigan to find her and tell her how I feel, I do the same thing that helped me get over Gary Busey, I look at the infamous mugshot. Yasmine, I hardly knew ya.

Cliff Sadof, Purdue University1May, 2009
Insecticides are effective tools for extending the life of ash trees during an EAB infestation. Increasing the longevity of a tree provides time for replacement trees to grow and replace lost shade. They also buy time that could allow the development of newer and better controls (insecticides and biological controls) for fighting EAB.
The graph above shows how ash trees of different size grow over time. Size is measured as the diameter of the trunk at 4.5 ft above the soil line (DBH). On average, in Indianapolis, the trunk width increases at just under � inch (0.46) per year, or just under a foot (11.5 inches) in 25 years. Each of the five lines in the graph show how a tree in the center of each size range would grow in 25 years. This plot is useful for predicting how long a particular tree can be protected with a given type of insecticide treatment.
Annual soil applications of imidacloprid (Bayer Tree and Shrub) and or trunk sprays of dinotefuran (Safari) can protect trees until trunk diameters get to 15� wide at chest height (DBH). This �safe zone� is depicted in the darkest block (a). These insecticides are quite good at protecting small trees. Trees with a DBH between 0-3� can be protected for 25 years, while those with a DBH between 3-6� are protected for about 22 years, and those with a DBH of 6-12� will be protected for about 12 years.
Double rates of imidacloprid, applied annually Xytect™, or single doses of Merit® applied twice can protect trees with a DBH of up to 25�. This �safe zone� is depicted in the darker two blocks (a, and b). Trees with a DBH of up to 6-12� can be protected up to 25 years, while those with DBH of 12-18� can be protected for about 21 years and those with a DBH between 18-24 for about 4 years. Please be advised that current restrictions allow only 0.4 lb of active ingredient to be applied to the soil in a given year. This is the equivalent of a single soil drench application to ten trees with a DBH of 12�. Applying more than this amount of imidacloprid per acre is illegal and not advised.
Injections of trees with emmamectin benzoate (Tree-äge) every 2 years have also been shown to control EAB in trees with a DBH up to 25�. This �safe zone� is depicted in the darker two blocks (a, and b). Trees with a DBH of up to 6-12� can be protected up to 25 years, while those with DBH of 12-18� can be protected for about 21 years and those with a DBH between 18-24 for about 4 years. Studies of insecticide effectiveness have not yet been reported on trees with a DBH > 25� (block c) so it is hard to say how long this insecticide can protect larger trees. For a more complete discussion of the relative effectiveness of insecticides against EAB, using available delivery methods, please refer to this link How Effective Are Insecticides at Controlling EAB.

Secretary of State Edmund S. Muskie says President Carter will raise the question of SALT treaty ratification with the US Senate leadership when the Senate reconvenes in midNovember, Monitor correspondent Daniel Southerland reports.
But Senate staff specialists doubt there will be either the time or the inclination available in the Senate for consideration of the treaty next month. For one thing, the Senate agenda is crowded. And it now appears likely that at least a few key supporters of the treaty with the Soviet Union will be defeated in early November elections. A two-thirds Senate vote is required for ratification of the treaty.
But President Carter has both practical and political reasons for pushing for ratification at this time. On the practical side, treaty timetables are involved. A key protocol, for example, expires in 1981. And the Soviets must dismantle some missile systems that would place them above new limits. If the deadlines expire, much if not all of the treaty will have to be renegotiated.
On the political side, President Carter is eager to dramatize the difference between his desire for arms control and presidential contender Ronald Reagan's desire to withdraw the SALT treaty and increase weapons production before resuming arms control talks.
