XII. The Crown
The goal is yours. It brings you extreme joy for a time, because your faith, and hard work has been rewarded. Accomplishment is the most addicting feeling in the world! The catch is that the feeling is only temporary. In time, the victory will lose its sweetness. Take the time to enjoy your victory because you've earned it. Then either help someone along the way of their journey or decide what other areas you're lacking and start the process all over again.

The following is an excerpt from Tim Keller's book, Ministries of Mercy: The Call of the Jericho Road (3rd edition). Here Dr. Keller surveys the Old Testament and shows how the ministry of mercy began long before the Good Samaritan. (To show the progression of mercy ministry, bracketed headings provide an outline of Keller's thought.)
[Mercy in the Garden]
The Bible's teaching on the ministry of mercy does not begin with the parable of the Good Samaritan.
Man's first "mission" was to subdue and have dominion over the earth (Gen. 1:28). Genesis 2:15 restates this commission in terms of "tending and keeping" the garden of God. The concept of man as a gardener is highly suggestive: a gardener does not destroy nature, nor leave it as it is. He cultivates and develops it, enhancing its beauty, usefulness, and fruitfulness. So God expects his servants to bring all creation under his lordship. Science, engineering, art, education, government are all part of this responsibility. We are to bring every dimension of life, both spiritual and material, under the rule and law of God.
Obviously, there was no "ministry of mercy" per se before the fall of man, since there was no human suffering or need. But it is clear that God's servants at that time were as concerned with the material-physical world as with the spiritual.
After the fall, the effects of sin immediately caused the fragmentation of man's relationships. Man becomes alienated from God (Gen. 3:10). As a result his relationship with other human beings is shattered (vv. 12–13), and so is his relationship with nature itself (vv. 17–18). Now sickness, hunger, natural disaster, social injustice, and death dominate
The first act of mercy ministry immediately follows the fall: God clothes Adam and Eve with animal skins (Gen. 3:21). Many have pointed out that this action represents the covering of our sins by the work of Christ, but that is surely not the only reason for God's action. Man now needs protection from a hostile environment. By God's action, Derek Kidner says, "Social action could not have had an earlier or more exalted inauguration."
[Mercy before the Law]
Even before the giving of the law to Moses, God made his will known concerning the ministry of mercy. Job, who lived in an early pre-Mosaic age, knew that the righteousness God requires includes providing food, shelter, and clothing to the needy (Job 24:1–21; 31:16–23). In fact, Job tells us that he did more than simple social service. "I was a father to the needy; I took up the cause of the stranger. I broke the fangs of the wicked and snatched the victims from their teeth" (29:16–17).
[Mercy after the Law]
When God gave the law to Moses, he was constructing a believing community in which social righteousness was as required as personal righteousness and morality. Individual Israelites were forbidden to harvest all their produce, so the poor could glean from the fields for free (Ex. 23:10–11). Israelites were told to give to the poor until his need was gone (Deut. 15:8, 10), especially if the poor man was a kinsman or a neighbor (Lev. 25:25, 35–38). The priests gave to the poor out of the tithes to God (Deut. 14:28–29).
God's law required that the poor be given more than just a "handout." When a slave was freed from debt and servitude, he was not to leave empty-handed, but had to be given grain or livestock so that he could become economically self-sufficient (Deut. 15:12–15).
[Mercy in the Prophets]
These laws given to Moses were the basis for the thundering of the later prophets, who denounced Israel's insensitivity to the poor as breaking covenant with God. They taught that materialism and the ignoring of the poor's plight are sins as repugnant as idolatry and adultery (Amos 2:6–7). Mercy to the poor is an evidence of true heart commitment to God (Isa. 1:10–17; 58:6–7; Amos 4:1–6; 5:21–24). Finally, the prophets predicted that the Messiah, when he came, would be characterized by mercy to the poor (Isa. 11:1–4; 61:1–2).

The government has allowed fired nurses to go back to work and resume their duties pending final approval from the employer.
The Minister of Health and Child Care, Dr David Parirenyatwa said the majority of the fired nurses are now back at work.
"The majority of nurses who were dismissed have since reapplied for reengagement and government has permitted them to resume duty pending final approval from the employer," said Dr Parirenyatwa, adding that only 5974 out of 16 974 nurses had downed tools.
"Services have since returned to normal utilizing those nurses who did not participate in the industrial action beefed up by the recruitment of qualified nurses who were not in employment as well as nurses below 70 years who were retired. In addition, all nurses who were on official leave were recalled to duty," said Dr Parirenyatwa.
Dr Parirenyatwa also said as the recruitment processes are underway, and his ministry has allocated specific quotas per institution of new registered general nurses to recruit.
"Institutions are directed to recruit to the maximum allocated figure. We have enough qualified nurses who are unemployed to fill up these allocated quotas," he said.
The Minister also said it is regrettable and unfortunate that the nurse fraternity chose to down tools when the government was seriously addressing the issues that nurses and other health profession categories had raised in terms of allowances and relativities.
He added that the government is urgently looking into the outstanding cross-cutting challenges and will resolve them as soon as possible.

Opinion | After the volatility, what's ahead for investors?
It has been a volatile year on share markets with trade wars, rising interest rates in the United States, Brexit and Trump himself dominating sentiment.
We witnessed a strong rise in global markets through to September after February's pull back before another fall in the past few months.
So what does that mean for investors looking ahead?
When looking at the fundamentals it appears global growth is starting to slow and interest rates, while still low by historical standards, are higher globally than they have been in recent times. It is always relative with interest rates and any increase from such a low base will have an impact.
This type of environment is conducive to higher levels of volatility and with share markets globally entering their tenth year since the last bear market it would pay to be cautious looking ahead to 2019.
Investors should seek advice from a non institutionally owned advice business and make sure their asset allocation is appropriate for their goals.

Hopper and feed for plastic book-binding strips
Plastic binding strips used with this invention comprise a female strip consisting of a narrow, thin plastic strip formed with spaced apertures and grooves communicating with the apertures and a male strip comprising a narrow plastic strip having bendable studs projecting at fight angles therefrom spaced to fit through holes in the pages to be bound and the apertures in the female strip. Such strips are packaged in cassettes. The hopper for the female strips receives a stack of cassettes. Strips are fed from the lowermost cassette by a horizontally reciprocating finger onto a transverse ways and then feed along the ways to an assembly station. When the lowermost cassette is empty, its support is removed and the next cassette is moved into place. The male hopper is similar to the female except that the studs require greater spacing between cassettes and provision is made in the feed structures for the upward projection of the studs.
Reference is made to pending U.S. Pat. application Ser. No. 08/197,033, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,383,756, filed Feb. 15, 1994, which is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/975,460 filed Nov. 12, 1992, now abandoned. The above application, owned by the assignee of this application, relates to a cassette for book-binding strips. The present invention is an apparatus and method for removing binding strips from such a cassette.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a new and improved hopper and feed mechanism for plastic binding strips packaged in cassettes wherein the strips are fed one at a time from the cassette onto a transfer table and then fed laterally to an assembly station where the strips and prepunched paper are assembled and subsequently bound. The invention further relates to a method of feeding cassettes and strips into the assembly station of an automatic binding machine.
2. Description of the Related Art
Automatic binding machines with which the present invention are used are disclosed in such prior U.S. Pat. Nos. as 5,017,071 and 4,846,616 (see particularly FIGS. 6-10 thereof). These prior binding machines use cassettes of the type shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,844,674. The present invention comprises a portion of an automatic binding machine (i.e., the hopper for cassettes and the feed means for feeding the strips from the cassettes and into the assembly station) using an improved cassette such as is shown in U.S. application Ser. No. 08/197,003.
The machine and method hereinafter described uses a pair of thin plastic binding strips. The female strip has longitudinally spaced holes and grooves in one surface of the strip communicating with the holes. The male strip has studs spaced at the same intervals as the holes, which studs may be bent approximately at right angles and snapped into the grooves in the female strip. The two strips are placed on opposite sides of the spine edges of punched sheets and bind the sheets together.
The hopper of the present invention accepts cassettes of the type shown in U.S. application Ser. No. 08/197,033 in which female strips and male strips are packaged for transportation and storage.
The machine of the present invention comprises a hopper into which cassettes are stacked. As one cassette is emptied, the next cassette in order is moved into discharge position. A motor drives four wheels--two on each side of the machine--in timed relation and equi-angularly, the wheels being provided with pegs which ensure that only one cassette is fed at a time. A latch in the cassette which prevents strips from being prematurely discharged is opened by means associated with the cassette feed mechanism.
A pair of fingers engage the rearward edge of the rearmost strip in the cassette and moves it forward one space at a time, thereby pushing the preceding strips one at a time out of the cassette and onto a platen and hold-down mechanism. An air cylinder controls movement of four supports--one located at each corner of the cassette--which hold the cassette from dropping and also hold the upper edge of a portion of the cassette to prevent upward displacement. These supports are retracted when the next cassette is moved into position and are then moved into operative position to support the next cassette and also to open the latch.
A strip drive mechanism moves a carriage mounted on longitudinal ways. Attached to the carriage is a magnet-sensitive member which surrounds a longitudinally extending pneumatic cylinder. Within the cylinder is a magnet which is driven in steps longitudinally of the cylinder and causes the carriage to move therewith. Projecting up from the carriage are two uprights, the upper ends of which comprise forwardly directed fingers which engage the rear edge of the rearmost strip in the cassette and push all of the strips forward one position for each movement of the magnet in the cylinder. As the strips reach the forward end of the cassette they are guided by guides which confine the strips as they are pushed one at a time onto a transverse strip feed.
The transverse strip feed comprises an air cylinder which moves a magnet longitudinally thereof. A magnet-sensitive member surrounds the air cylinder and is connected to a member which contacts one end of the strip in the transverse feed and moves it laterally along a guideway into an assembly station. Under influence of the magnet in the air cylinder, the member is retracted to its initial position, whereupon the next strip is moved into the transverse feed.
The hoppers for the female strip and the male strip are substantially similar. However, by reason of the studs of the male strips which project upwardly, the vertical feed of the cassettes for the male strips is somewhat more elaborate.

Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. While the invention will be described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, it will be understood that they are not intended to limit the invention to those embodiments. On the contrary, the invention is intended to cover alternatives, modifications and equivalents, which may be included within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
First described will be a hopper for cassettes packaging female strips. The male strip hopper is in many respects similar, and the differences between such male hopper and the female hopper will hereinafter be described.
Cassettes and Binding Strips
Cassettes 21 in accordance with the present invention have longitudinal members 22 having inwardly facing channels to receive the opposite ends of the strips packaged therein. The members 22 are held in alignment and in spaced relationship by transverse space bars 23. Spacer struts 24 space stacked superimposed cassettes a proper vertical distance apart. At one end of at least one longitudinal member 22 is a latch 26 which fits into the channel in the longitudinal member 22 to prevent unwanted displacement of strips from the cassette 21. It will be understood that the opposite end of the longitudinal member of the cassette is blocked. When latch 26 is opened, it is removed from the channel in longitudinal member 22, thereby permitting discharge of strips therefrom. In accordance with the present invention, the cassettes 21 are stacked on top of each other in a hopper and each cassette is fed into discharge position as the preceding cassette has been emptied. The latch 26 is opened when the cassette reaches discharge position. Cassettes 21 are described in greater detail in U.S. application Ser. No. 08/197,003.
Female cassettes 21 (FIG. 1) package female strips 31 which are space with holes (not shown in the accompanying drawings but well described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,674,906). On one surface of the female strip are grooves communicating with the holes. The grooves are also not illustrated herein but are well illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 4,674,906.
Male strips 33 (FIG. 2) have bendable upstanding studs 34 at the same intervals as the holes in the female strips.
In an automatic book-binding machine, a female hopper is located on one side of the machine and a male hopper on the opposite side. One female strip 31 is moved laterally to a central assembly station and a male strip 33 is likewise moved laterally but in the opposite direction to the assembly station. The punched sheets of paper to be bound are fed into the assembly station and assembled with the female strip 31 on one side of the stack of sheets and the studs 34 of the male strip extending through the holes in the paper and the holes in the female strip. When thus assembled, the studs are bent so that they are snapped into the grooves on the outside surfaces of the female strips, thereby binding the book together. A machine for assembling a book is shown in detail in U.S. Pat. No. 5,017,071.
Cassette Vertical Feed for Female Hopper
The female hopper comprises a vertical left-side frame 36, an opposed right-side frame 37, a vertical rear frame 38 joined to the rear edges of the sides 36 and 37 and a front crossbar 39 joined to the front edges of the frame members 36 and 37. Legs 40 at suitable intervals position the hopper above a support surface. Horizontal left connector 41 interconnects rear frame 38 and front crossbar 39 to the left of left-side frame 36. Within the hopper are longitudinal cassette guides 43 and transverse cassette guides 44 which are spaced to support a stack of superimposed cassettes 21 so that the cassettes may be moved into discharge position in the hopper one at a time as hereinafter described. Supported inside the side frames 36, 37 are horizontal left shaft 46 and right shaft 47 which carry wheels 48 having projecting pins 49 which feed cassettes 21 downward one at a time (FIG.9). Motor 51 through chain 52 and sprockets 53 turn the shafts 46, 47 equi-angularly in opposite directions. The arcuate distance between pins 49 is equivalent to the height of cassettes 21. The control of the vertical movement of the cassettes as hereinbefore described is one of the differences between the female cassette and the male cassette hereinafter described.
Mounted on the outside of left-side frame 36 is an air cylinder 56. Clevis 57 on the outer end of the rod of cylinder 56 is connected to arm 58 by clevis pin 59. Arm 58 is fixed to transverse horizontal cross-shaft 61 which extends across the machine. A longitudinally extending connector rod 62 is connected to arm 58 by pin 60 at its forward end and is similarly connected at its rearward end to link 63 on the outer end of transverse horizontal rear cross-shaft 64. It will thus be seen that as cylinder 56 is energized, shafts 61 and 64 are oscillated equi-angularly but in opposite directions.
As best shown in FIG. 10, inner forward arm 66 is fixed to shaft 61 on the inside of left-side frame 36. It will be understood that a similar arm is located on shaft 61 inside the fight-side frame 37. Link 67 is pivoted by means of pivot 65 to the frame member 36. Link 67 is formed with a diagonal slot 68 into which pin 69 on arm 66 fits. Thus, as shaft 61 oscillates under control of cylinder 56, link 67 likewise oscillates. Mounted adjacent the lower end of link 67 is a cassette support pin 70. Pin 70 fits under longitudinal member 22 of the cassette 21 which is in discharge position, while pin 69 fits above cassette member 22 to prevent the cassette from being displaced upwardly. When the cassette is in discharge position, the arm 66 and link 67 are in solid-line position. When the cassette 21 has been discharged and the next cassette 21a is about to be fed into discharge position, under actuation of cylinder 56 the arm 66 and link 67 are pivoted to dot-and-dash positions, the interconnection between members 66 and 67 by means of pin 69 and slot 68 accommodating such movement.
FIG. 11 shows similar actuation at the rear of the machine. It will be noted that the slot 68a in FIG. 11 is oppositely disposed relative to slot 68 in FIG. 10. In other respects, the elements of FIG. 11 resemble those of FIG. 10 with the subscript "a" added to the corresponding parts.
One of the forward pins 69 is formed with a flattened surface 81. As pin 69 moves to the solid-line position shown in FIG. 10, it engages latch 26 of the cassette 21 in discharge position, opening the latch and permitting discharge of strips 31.
Longitudinal Strip Movement
Forward movement of strips 31 along longitudinal members 22 of cassettes 21 is controlled by longitudinally horizontally mounted strip actuator cylinder 86 which contains therein a magnet which is moved a fixed step distance as the cylinder 86 is actuated. One suitable cylinder and follower is sold by Festo Co. of Hauppauge, N.Y., under the name DGO NM SA Cylinder. Extending horizontally transversely of the hopper is carriage 88 fixed to follower 87 and supported by left support rod directly beneath carriage 88. The right end of carriage 88 has a rest 89 which rides on longitudinally extending horizontal right support bar 91.
Extending upward of carriage 88 are two uprights 92. A slot 93 extends horizontally below the upper end of upright 92 so that there is a finger 94 at the forward upper corner of upright 92. Finger 94, when the cylinder 86 moves carriage 88 forwardly from an initial position at the rear of the machine, engages the rear edge of the rearmost strip 31 in cassette 21. As the carriage 88 is advanced step by step, the strips 31 are pushed forwardly of cassette 21 a distance equal to the width of strip 31.
As shown in FIG. 12 there is a cross bar 97 at the front of the hopper under cassettes 21. Finger 94 fits over cross bar 97 to continue to engage strips 31 while slot 93 accommodates cross bar 97.
As the strips 31 are pushed out of the cassette 21, one at a time, they ride over horizontal platen 101 located at the forward end of the hopper. Platen 101 is formed with a wide V-shaped notch 102 (see FIG. 3). The strips 31 are held against dislodgement from the platen 101 by means next explained.
Strip Hold-down Means
One means to prevent upward dislodgement of strips 31 from platen 101 is rearward extending, horizontal guides 106 spaced above platen 101 the thickness of strips 31. Guides 106 are attached at their forward ends to transverse horizontal mounting 107 which is, in turn, fixed to transverse horizontal bar 108 at the front of the machine.
An additional means for holding down the strips in contact with platen 101 extends farther rearwardly than guides 106 and is retractable. Thus, directing attention now to FIG. 4, there is an extension 111 of rod 62, the forward end of which is connected by pin 112 to link 114, the upper end of which is fixed to transverse horizontal shaft 116. Hence, as cylinder 56 is actuated, shaft 116 oscillates. Shaft 116 is journaled in horizontal longitudinal support 117 which is connected to horizontal transverse bar 103 mounted well above the level of platen 101. The elevation of bar 103 is necessary in the Male Strip Hopper to accommodate upstanding studs 34 and is desirable in the Female Strip Hopper for uniformity of parts. Fixed to shaft 116 is link 119 which is pivoted to the forward end of hold-down 118 by pin 124. (See FIG. 13) Pivoted to support 117 by pivot 121 is a second link 120, the lower end of which is pivoted by pivot 112 to hold-down 118. Thus, hold-down 118 is oscillated forwardly and rearwardly under the influence of shaft 116. In order to hold down the strips 31 as they are discharged from the cassette 21, there is a horizontal rearwardly extending finger 123 on hold-down 118. In order to prevent finger 123 from interfering with discharging of empty cassette 21 after the strips 31 have been discharged therefrom and feed of the superimposed cassette 21a into operative position, hold-down 118 is moved forwardly so that finger 123 clears cassette 21a as it decends.
The forward edge of the strip 31 is pushed against the rearward edge of transverse bar 108, and them is a gap between the bar 108 and the platen 101. Extending horizontally transversely across the front of the machine is cylinder 126 similar in function to cylinder 86 and mounted thereon is a follower 127 similar to follower 87. One suitable cylinder and follower is manufactured by Festo Co. of Hauppauge, N.Y., under the name DGO-12-357-63-PPV-A B SA#15115. Connected to follower 127 is a carriage 128, the bottom of which is supported on transverse rod 129. Projecting upwardly from carriage 128 is pin 131 which carries a pusher 134 which is I-shaped in cross-section and extends up into the gap between the members 108 and 101 (See FIG. 13). After a strip 31 has been positioned against bar 108, cylinder 126 is actuated, causing carriage 128 and pusher 134 to move transversely across the front of the machine, pushing the strip 31 transversely and into the assembly station of the machine.
After a cassette 21 is positioned in the machine, resting upon pins 49 on the four wheels 48 and also resting upon pin 70 and under pin 69, the latch 26 has been opened by the flattened surface 81 of one of the pins 69. Thereupon, the cylinder 86 (located at its rearward position) is actuated to advance the follower 87 the width of one strip. This pushes the front strip forwardly and onto the platen 101. After the cylinder 86 has been actuated a sufficient number of times, the forward-most strip engages the transverse bar 108. Thereupon, cylinder 126 is actuated so that pusher 134 pushes the strip laterally into the assembly station. Pusher 134 then retracts and cylinder 86 is actuated once again. This operation is repeated until all of the strips in cassette 21 have been removed. Follower 87 is then retracted.
Cylinder 56 is then actuated causing the arms 66 to swing out of the way of the cassette 21 and also causing hold-downs 118 to move forwardly so that fingers 123 are out of the way of the cassette. Thereupon, motor 51 is actuated to turn shafts 46 and 47 so that pins 49 control movement of a new cassette 21a into discharge position. Thereupon, cylinder 56 is actuated in the opposite direction to swing arms 66 inwardly, support 70 fitting under the next cassette 21a and pins 69 fitting over the cassette to prevent it from being lifted out of position. The flattened surface 81 at this point opens latch 26.
Mounted on left-side frame 36 is a sensor 141 which by means of a fiber optic rod 142 extending through hole 143 in side frame 36 is connected to a mirror 144 which senses that the new cassette has been moved into position. If it does not sense a new cassette in position, the machine is stopped.
With the new cassette in place, cylinders 86 and 126 function in the same manner as heretofore described, moving all of the strips 31 in the cassette 21a into the assembly station so that the operation may be continued with a new cassette.
Hopper for Cassettes for Male Strips
The spacing between cassettes 21 in a vertical stack of cassettes containing male strips 33 is necessarily larger than the spacing between cassettes containing female strips 31 by virtue of the need to accommodate the upstanding studs 34. This extra spacing is provided by making the spacer struts 24 higher in the male cassettes. Accordingly, as each male cassette is fed downwardly it must move a considerable distance greater than can be accommodated by the arcuate spacing between the outer ends of pins 49 on wheels 48.
Directing attention to FIGS. 14-17, it will be seen that the positions of many of the parts are reversed from those in FIG. 6. Whereas in FIG. 4 female strips are advanced into the assembly station to the right, in FIG. 15 the male strips are advanced to the left. The reason why bar 103, transverse shaft 116 and certain other elements of the modification of FIG. 3 et seq. are spaced well above the level of platen 101 and the female strips 31 is so that many of the parts of FIGS. 14-17 may be uniform in both hoppers. In many respects, the individual elements of FIGS. 14-17 resemble those of FIG. 3 et seq. and the same reference numerals followed by subscript "a" are used to designate corresponding parts.
Turning now to FIGS. 14-17 shafts 46a and 47a carry sprockets 151. Stub idler shafts 152 are mounted in side frames 36a and 37a above shafts 46a, 47a and carry sprockets 153. Chains 154 interconnect sprockets 151 and 153. At intervals equal to the spacing between male cassettes, pins 156 project longitudinally to engage the stacked male cassettes and feed them downwardly toward operative position.
The foregoing descriptions of specific embodiments of the present invention have been presented for purposes of illustration and description. They are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed, and obviously many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching.

...Pictures of our 2011 Kids...
Please note: Just because kids are pictured on this page, it does not necessarily mean they are for sale! Some are retained and some were spoken for before birth. I just try to take photos of each of the kids to show interested buyers what our kid crop has been like each year. If there are any kids for sale; they will be listed on the for sale page!!! Click
to view the for sale page.
I realize most people know this fact; however, we recently had a major issue with a certain individual who did not seem to comprehend what she was told. This individual showed up at our house even after numerous phone calls telling her nothing was available, and even after she was told we were not even home simply because she "assumed" any goat on the website was for sale instead of simply looking at the
for sale
page. Sorry to be so harsh, but this individual caused some major aggravation that we would like to avoid in the future.

As Wyn Abbot says: "The first time I picked up a lump of clay, it changed my life forever."
"As old as time
Yet young as a bud
Covered in leaves
And born of the wood"
The first time I picked up a lump of clay, it changed my life forever. Just as when our ancestors first worked clay, it set in motion a journey that would touch everyone on earth.
Clay tells the story of our humanity: from the first time it was moulded to the time and accidentally baked in a fire, it has told the story of where and how we lived; our belief systems, homes, even our diets. When I see pottery made thousands of years ago, I know I am part of that tradition. Our firing and glazing may be more refined, but I am using the same creative processes, and I love that.
My studio is in The Wolfhouse Gallery in Silverdale, a small but a magical place on the shores of Morecambe Bay, surrounded by woodlands and coast. While I spend my days sculpting on the upper level, my partner Colin runs the gallery and deals with orders. I need only step out of the door to find woodland walks and magnificent coastal views.
I've always loved the Wolfhouse, so when we had the option to take it over, it seemed perfect. Established over 45 years ago, all who visit fall under its spell – it's a place of memories, named because it looks over the bay to Humphrey Head, where legend has it the last wolf in England was killed. There are three other businesses onsite including holiday cottages, a café and artist's studio; independent, yet working together. Combining Wyn Abbot Ceramics and the Wolfhouse Gallery was a perfect fit: I love the name and the story behind it because my work is about stories and myths.
My life as a ceramic artist has been an amazing journey, one I never envisaged for myself, although I dreamed of being an artist. I was born with magic in my soul, creating and writing stories. Ever since I could hold a pencil I was encouraged to draw, paint and craft and growing up by the beach and woods, nature was my mentor.
However, I followed a career in health and social care for over 20 years and work, as well as completing my masters degree, left me screaming to get back into something creative; so I took a course in sculpting.
My tutor said "there's the clay, just do what you like", but never having worked with clay, I had no idea what to do. But it was the best thing the tutor could have said: eventually I picked up the clay, became mesmerised by it and after a while, found a hooded figure in a boat sat in front of me.
I realised the symbolism of what I had made in relation to where I was in my life, and decided I needed to create from instinct. I became passionate about working with clay as it's so tactile and incorporates all the elements: Earth (clay); Air (drying process); Water (to make it malleable) and Fire (for baking). I realised how much we take clay for granted, using it every day from the cups we drink from, to the houses we live in. Our garage became a studio and in less than two years, with Colin's support, I left the NHS to work full-time with clay.
It was hard at first, competing in a society of 'mass production', and hardest of all was finding the right place to sell. I'd advise any budding artist not just to go for the obvious places, such as galleries. See where your art fits. Visit places
before you approach them and don't be despondent when you get the inevitable rejections or fail to sell your work. See it as a process of elimination, helping get your work seen, and finding where your art will be appreciated.
From day one I was drawn to making goddess figures and green man plaques. Researching the figures made by our ancestors, there is so much power in those pieces: it makes me wonder who made them, what were they thinking. I spent some years creating archaeological replicas for museum shops, something I would have never considered doing but it fitted so well with my style. Holding items made thousands of years ago made me tingle, and re-creating them was amazing.
Despite spending years finding my 'place' in the art world and people telling me what I 'should' be making, I stayed true to my beliefs and instincts. I weave the myths and beliefs of the past in to my work. It's crucial that my work is not not just an ornament, but a piece with presence and meaning – when I pick up a lump of clay I let the piece emerge. When I teach, students will say "I can't think what to make" and my advice is not to think, just feel! Art comes from the soul: once the head gets involved, it brings in doubt.
I would say my own belief system is eclectic. I have been following the Pagan path consciously for about 30 years, but unconsciously, all my life. I work shamanically. I'm not good at being told to do things in a particular way, and my beliefs and rituals are instinctive and intuitive; not found in a book.
I draw from areas such as Wicca, Druidry, Shamanism and more. I have studied and worked with astrology, tarot and runes but while I stick to my own path, there are aspects I need from each to fulfil my life and work. But when I create something, I draw from a deep well of spirituality and nature. I used to worry and think "well what am I then?!" But now, having studied and practiced over the years, I don't need a label. I have a deep, strong spiritual belief and connection with the land that sees me through my life and informs my work.
My spiritual path strongly influences my ceramic work – earthy and reflecting the natural world- but equally, my ceramic work informs my path. As a child I spent my days collecting shells and stones from the beach at the end of my street or wandering through the woods collecting fir cones and twigs. Today still, I draw energy and inspiration from my surroundings and the stories of our ancestors.
Working with clay deepens my connection with the earth, as I am making things from the earth that reflect the earth: tree altars or stoneware statues. Archetypes such as the green man, green lady, hare, and animal totems greatly influence my work as I story-weave depth and meaning into each piece. Names for pieces will come to me suddenly as I am make them, and sayings fly into my head.
One of my favourite things to make are my tree bowls: quite large, with a tree-bark effect outside and rich glaze inside – each one has a spiral at the bottom and a quote around the rim or spiralling upwards with little hares, green men or goddesses. They look magical with floating candles. I'm often asked where the quotes come from but unless I am asked for a specific one, they just come into my head, sometimes as I am actually writing it.
I never tire of picking up clay and knowing that it has taken thousands of years to get into my hands. I never tire of closing the kiln on unfired pieces and opening it to the alchemical process that turns them into vibrant glazes. I'm happiest when my shelves are full of figures and pots yet unfired – I love the natural beauty of the faces in raw clay.
The recent TV series The Great British Pottery Throwdown has been a real boost for pottery. The business declined so much, what with cheaper imports, resin pieces, and factory-produced pottery, but the show highlights this amazing craft and has inspired many people to start courses. Not only is pottery a versatile and essential material, it is also therapeutic and fun. Everyone can make something and I would urge everyone to have a go. When you make something from clay or wood it retains an energy that you won't find in mass-produced pieces.
My advice to anyone wanting to pursue a creative project is just do it! There are books, courses, Youtube videos, online information etc, but while people can teach techniques, they cannot teach you creativity – that comes from within. Just let it happen, enjoy the feeling and let it grow. The hardest thing is trying to get out of your own head.
I didn't like the potters wheel at first, it was a relationship that grew gradually and not without some pain! But it has enabled me to expand my work by combining wheel-thrown pieces with sculptural designs. My work has evolved naturally– I couldn't sit and make the same things all the time. I need constant change so I am always evolving designs and pieces. I might walk through the woods and pick up a stone that inspires me, or make a pot on the wheel and suddenly decide to make it into something different. As I grow and evolve, this is reflected in the pieces I make. Most of my pieces, certainly the sculptural pieces, have sculpted feathers, leaves and drums incorporated into them.
I have made lots of pieces that I struggled to part with. I think my favourite piece is 'Drumming the Soul back Home'. I felt such an infinity with her, when she came out of the kiln she looked so completely 'at one' with herself. She is definitely a one-off, with such a powerful yet peaceful energy about her. Most of my female figures are drummers: drumming represents the heartbeat of the earth.People tell me that my pieces talk to them and are a powerful presence in their home, and that's very special to hear.
Being an artist is not an easy path, especially in this financial climate. You have to really want to do it, and it is something far more substantial than money that drives you on. It's difficult to articulate, but it is very personal as what you create tells a story of who you are. It is a reflection of you, or of part of you.
It's financially challenging, with very little time off; but I wouldn't change it for anything. When times get tough, we pull together and trust that it will get easier which it usually does. When the downs hit, we know that the wheel will turn again.
The vision for Wyn Abbot Ceramics is to continue creating beautiful and spiritual pieces that are meaningful and symbolic, and selling ethically through shops around the country and beyond.

We recently put out a call for custom artist designs on the new Vinylmation 95 mold and have received a great response! Keep those customs coming. Today, we feature an artist familiar to DV, Brian Shapiro.
Destination Vinylmation: What inspired you to choose Maleficent as the subject of your first Vinylmation 95 custom?
Brian Shapiro: Maleficent is my hands down favorite Disney Villain. Whether she's in Sleeping Beauty, Fantasmic, or even Kingdom Keepers, she never disappoints! Also, I think she has the most striking features in both her humanoid and dragon forms!
DV: You managed to place all of Maleficent's iconic features onto the canvas to make it instantly recognizable. Did this take much planning on paper, or were you able to instantly picture it on the mold?
Brian: When I saw the Vinylmation 95 canvas for the first time, I immediately noticed the horn shaped side windows and instantly thought of the Maleficent dragon. From that starting point, it was easy to imagine her features on the new mold. The hood of the car worked perfectly for the snout, and the spoiler was a perfect place for wings. I did sketch out the design, though, before painting it. I downloaded an image of the canvas from disneystore.com and inverted the colors on my iPad to make it black. Then I used a paint program to layout the basic design features. In the end, she came out looking exactly as I imagined her!
DV: What was the most challenging part of the this design?
Brian: The most challenging part was the placement of the wings. While the spoiler on the back of the car was an ideal location, it wasn't split down the midline to provide two separate wings. As a result, I had to take some artistic license and make the wings appear pressed together in the midline. I'm really happy with how they came out.
DV: You pulled off exactly what I hoped an artist would do. You ignored the features of the car itself (tires, windshield, etc.) and just painted a design onto the canvas… sort of like an artist ignoring the placement of eyes, feet or arms on a Mickey shape. Was this difficult to do?
Brian: Not with this particular design, which was pretty obvious to me once I saw the canvas. As you have previously spotlighted, I created a version of the Maleficent dragon on the 3″ Mickey shaped mold, and Disney recently released a version on the 9″ Mickey shaped mold, but a lot of compromises had to be made in both of those instances. I think the Vinylmation 95 canvas is ideal for characters with snouts and bills like Figment, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto.
DV: As an artist, what is the major difference between working on a Lightning McQueen shaped mold as opposed to Mickey?
Brian: Other than the shape, I think the biggest difference is that you can't disassemble the figure into separate pieces like you can with the Mickey shaped mold. As a result, you are forced to handle the figure in areas that have already been painted. Because the Maleficent dragon is mostly black in color, it was hard for me to keep the black paint clean. Every little piece of dust would show, and if I had the slightest trace of yellow or purple on my fingers, it would appear where it wasn't supposed to. In this case, once I finished painting in all the features, I placed her on top of a jar of peanut butter and painted back in all the black areas!
DV: Did you enjoy working on the Vinylmation 95 mold enough to do more?
Brian: I really enjoyed working with the canvas a lot! Ironically, I'm not a huge fan of the Cars movies or even cars in general, but I think the Vinylmation 95 canvas has a lot of potential. I have another blank that I would like to paint.
DV: Can you give us any hints to what we might see next?
Brian: I have a few ideas, but I'm undecided on which one I will pursue. I will definitely keep you posted, and I appreciate your generous support of my art!
P.S. – Brian sent us a little tease of his next project just before this article went live:

Future event ideas
I just wanted to give a few updates, even though I know there isn't much going on right now. The site is still being constructed, but I wanted to put a few ideas out there, so potential members know where I want this group to go. It's my plan to have fun events that you usually don't find at other meetup groups. I'd like to take a normal idea and make it a bit quirky. Like speed dating, but at the end of your 5 minutes, you'll either have to kiss the other person or buy another couple a drink.
I was also thinking of an adult version of spin the bottle. Or 7 minutes in Heaven. You know, all the fun party ideas we all did as teenagers, but spiced up for adults.
Free members will have to pay full price for these types of events, that I figure will start at $20 and go up. Premium members will get them at 50% off or less.
Will add more ideas as they come to me.

Hi everyone, I'm new here and have some questions about Europa Barbarorum.
First of all, I would like to know why Pontos and the Seleucid Empire are allies in 272 BC. I know Pontos was made in the ashes of Lysimachos, an enemy of Seleukos.
Secondly, I still wonder why the EB creators chose to make a kind of Suez canal.
And last but not least, why is Lesbos under Macedonian rule? I read somewhere Lesbos became Ptolemaic after the death of Alexander.
Thanks in advance,
Tigranes the Great

how to delete duplicate songs in itunes library
I am not the person with the largest iTunes library in the world but anyone with a well-sized library like me (120,000+ songs) would have the "duplicate" problem. The iTunes method of displaying and removing duplicates is painfully manual and takes time (which many of us don't have).
