Celebrating diversity through food, song, dance
You didn't have to take a cruise or book a tour to sample the best of what diverse cultures offer. Diversity was front and center recently at Washtenaw Community College's "Diversity Extravaganza," held at the college's Towsley Auditorium in the Morris Lawrence building.
"Diversity Extravaganza is an event to show off the diversity we have at WCC and in the community, while also engaging students, faculty and staff in events outside the classroom," said Arnett Chisholm, Dean of the Office of Student Diversity and Inclusion. "This event is also an excellent opportunity for the community and future students to feel welcomed and appreciated."
An array of ethnic food from area restaurants greeted visitors ahead of the performances. Participating restaurants included Ahmos (Mediterranean); Frita Batidos (Cuban); Pilar's Tamales
(Latin American); Paesano's (Italian); Casablanca (Mediterranean); Palm Palace (Mediterranean); Tower Inn (Greek); and Metzger's (German).
The show represented a wide repertoire of music and dance genres, including the Ann Hua Chinese Dance Group's performance of "Arirang." WCC students also took the stage for a salsa dance, among the many other performances. There were a total of 16 acts and 44 performers and participants.
"I do believe everyone enjoyed themselves," Chisholm said. "We tried to have something there for everyone. You could sit and listen to music, learn to line dance or just enjoy the variety
of ethnic food." Chisholm said another Diversity Extravaganza is planned for next fall.

Horton campaigners will be seeking leave to appeal a High Court judge's dismissal of a judicial review into the consultation on the Banbury hospital's downgrading.
Keep the Horton General members voted in favour of taking the first steps in fighting Mr Justice Mostyn's decision at a meeting last night (Wednesday, January 17).
Chairman Keith Strangwood said: "We have come this far and have been supported wholeheartedly by the public, financially and in spirit.
"This is not the time to let those people down. We will fight to the bitter end if needs be.
"We would be failing the memory of George Parish, our beloved previous chairman, if we folded meekly at this stage."
The judge dismissed the claim led by Cherwell District Council last month, which argued Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group's consultation into permanently closing consultant-led maternity (leaving a midwife-only unit), downgrading intensive care and closing 45 beds was unlawful.
KTHG acted as an interested party in the bid and after exploring all avenues and looking at the case from every angle, the committee voted to seek leave to appeal against the dismissal of the claim.
Some members were unable to attend due to illness but electronic votes were accepted.

For the bread you will need
- One packet of yeast
- 2 and 1/4 cups water
- 3 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 tablespoons canola oil (I only had olive oil, but I am sure it will turn out just fine)
- 6 cups flour for dough and some flour to spread on a table for kneading
- Wine or your favorite drink… for dinking
In large bowl, I used a stand mixer. Mix water and yeast. I always put the sugar in first to feed the yeast. Now it has a nice warm home and some food to eat. Then add salt and oil and 3 cups flour. Mix till smooth. Then slowly add the other 3 cups of flour, a half cup at a time till blended.
Then put the dough on a floured surface and knead for about 9 mins. Till smooth and when you pull on the dough it springs back easily.
Now place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, flip the dough so it is covered in the oil. And let it sit covered for 1-1/2 hours. While the dough sits. Lets make some butter!
To make butter you will need
- 8 oz Heavy whipping cream
- A containers that will not pop open when you shake it. My mom always used a mason jar, but I did not have one, so I used a plastic storage dish.
- Wine or favorite drink… for drinking
Making butter is so easy. Pour the heavy cream into your air tight container and shake it for about 30+ mins.
Now shake, shake, shake!
take a little break….
Shake, shake, shake some more…
Oh Hi Dog!
The different stages of the cream…
When the liquid inside becomes so think that it is not moving you are almost there. Don't give up! Then like magic it will become a solid and a light milky liquid. Pour the liquid out and shake a little more to get as much liquid out as you can.
at this stage, when your butter looks smooth, you can add a little salt. Or some times I add Honey to make sweet butter. Add a little at a time till it tastes good to you. I always tell myself "you can add more, but you can not add less".
Does this butter kind of look like a dog or it is just the wine talking?
Remember our bread we have left sitting for an hour and a half? Now it is time for the next step.
Pre heat the oven to 375 F.
Uncover the dough and punch it down. Then cut the dough in half to make two loafs. Put the loafs into 9X5 bread pans…(I did not have one so I improvised and cooked each loaf separately in a ceramic dish. It worked just fine!)
Now cover your "bread pan" and let the dough sit for another 30 mins! More wine anyone?
After waiting it is time to cook your bread.
Cook in the oven for 30 mins. You will know your bread is ready by tapping on the top. If it sounds hollow. It is ready to come out.
Let cool on a rack.
Now lets enjoy our hard work!!

I couldn't be happier with the results, it has completely changed the feel of every room. It actually feels more spacious. I will definitely recommend your services to others. Your team was professional, very knowledgeable and totally honest about the process and timeframes involved. Having the shutters installed through Boardwalk has been the smoothest start-to-finish contractual experience that I have had as a first home owner.

Note to self: Remember to drink and pee
Illness has hit our home like a ton of bricks for about 5 months now. Seriously, since Halloween of '08, I have taken my kiddos to the pediatrician about every 2.5 weeks. It is so bad, that when I call, the receptionist recognizes my voice. I've gotten sick a few times from my precious germy little bastards (.... that's not really true. Hubby and I were married a full 2 yrs before we conceived BabyGirl, and were married at least 6 yrs before Lil Man came into the picture, so bastards they are not... but I digress) so I've seen my own doc a handful of times in this reign of illness, too, although I really would rather seek homeopathic care while sick (colloidal silver sprayed into sinuses when yucky snot is present, probiotics to build up immunities, and d-mannose to keep e-coli flushed from bladder) but I do resort to medical expertise when all else fails.... and sometimes things do fail. Badly.
For example: 2 wks ago, I picked BabyGirl up from school, and she was sporting pink flushed cheeks and a 103 fever, which quickly developed into a wicked respiratory ick that has infected all of us now. This particular ick knocked us on our asses (and BabyGirl has asthma, so every respiratory ick can quickly turn to pneumonia and full blown asthma attacks so serious around the clock breathing treatment care must be given), but given that I am the mom, I have to take care of everybody else and furiously clean to keep the germs at bay... all while nobody takes care of me. In fact, while flitting around in nurse-gear, I often forget to eat and drink. Well, that chicken came home to roost... and it left me in a shitload of hurt in the process.
I was busy playing Florence Nightingale to my kiddos and hubby, while hacking and coughing up a lung myself, and scrubbing my hands like Det. Adrian Monk and Lysoling everything in sight when I noticed that I had this killer back pain and felt hot and feverish. I figured I was just really really tired and blew it off.
About 2 days later, this back pain was becoming truly unbearable and my fever was now full blown and I was miserable. I called my dr to see if I could get in, but no luck. Ya see, my dr is in a practice with his dad, and unbeknownst to me, his father had just suddenly passed away 3 days earlier, so they were beyond swamped and probably felt about as bad I did, so I really did not want to "bother" them given what was going down at their office. Wrong.
Flash ahead 2 days even later, I can now barely have anything touch my back, I am peeing what I think is blood, I'm feeling like death would be a welcome relief, and I'm actually considering going to the emergency room, so I call my dr again, explain how bad this is, and they tell me that they have no appts, but that I can come in and they'll somehow squeeze me in. Great.... especially since our insurance fights us tooth and nail if we "dare to have the audacity" to go to the E.R., but now all I have to do is load up Lil Man with my broken back and get there.
Long story short: I was peeing blood, my kidneys were what was making my back hurt like I'd been hit by a Mack truck, and I have NEVER ever had a urinary tract infection like this before (and I've had my fair share of 'em) where the urge to frequently pee "lava" was completely absent and yet the infection hit me like a tidal wave, and as far as I'm concerned, I could live my whole entire life and NEVER ever experience this again, and I really really really hope this Cipro Rx does the trick.
So, I guess the lesson learned here is this: While playing Florence Nightingale to everybody else, please please please remember to drink and pee, drink and pee, drink and pee... or else risk suffering this ungodly fate again.
And of course, while waiting in the waiting room with my Lil Man, every freakin' person in there was hacking and coughing and tossing their damned germs around my precious kiddo, and he is now freshly sick with god-knows-what new illness (thank the gods we have health insurance, although if ya ask Repukeycans, health coverage is a mere want, NOT a need, and it certainly ain't a right cause to them it is "a privilege" ) ... sigh... but I'm so damn sick of being sick... grrrr.... and please please please remember to drink and pee, drink and pee, drink and pee....

There I was, staring a six-day wait in the face, along with the possibility of missing out on the one event which motivated my trip in the first place. Was this a good time to pray? Absolutely. En route to India, I had discovered my visa would need to be replaced because of incorrect information. Consequently, I had returned to Paris, my connecting city, to apply for a new visa. Then I learned it would take an American citizen a minimum of six business days to obtain an Indian visa in France. Great. That was just what I needed to hear.
I asked for a miracle, and God delivered. The visa arrived in five days, and it was approved that Friday by an official at the Indian Consulate. I had to race against the clock to pick up my luggage, return to the airport, buy a ticket, go through security, and get on the plane. I boarded literally moments before takeoff. Was I ever relieved.
Two flights and 15 hours later, I had reached my destination. The graduation ceremony had just begun when I arrived. God had come through in impeccable timing.
God always provides for our needs at the right time. It is not the time our faith or patience runs out. It is not the time when we have exhausted all other resources. It is not a moment sooner than God desires or a moment later than our need requires. The "right time" is the best time (from His point-of-view). This is God's way, and it is perfect.
You may have some urgent matters for which you need God to provide an answer. You have to find a new job within the coming year; you are trying to sell or purchase a home; you are preparing for a future in ministry, but you lack many details; you wish to determine God's will regarding a prospective mate. God is keenly aware of your situation. He is not about to forsake you in your critical hour. He will provide exactly what you need — and not a moment too late. Trust His wisdom today.
Devotional by Pastor Jim Scudder, Jr.

AIM to kick off on Tuesday
Lawton Public Schools is coordinating with community entities to create a leadership and career development program for high school sophomores.
LPS, in partnership with the City of Lawton, Great Plains Technology Center and Cameron University, will host the three-day AIM (apprenticeship, internship, mentorship) seminar Tuesday through Thursday. The program, which is headquartered at Hilton Garden Inn, includes workshops, special leadership exercises, motivational speakers and tours of city and Fort Sill facilities, in a three-day, two night session for student participants.
Activities will be as varied as engaging in PT with Fort Sill soldiers, questioning city leaders, learning how to "work a room" and participating in a scavenger hunt.
Mark Mattingly, LPS executive director of Student Services, along with AIM for Lawton committee members, said the program is focused on education and practical training for students.

Grown mostly on the Lone Star Creek Vineyard at Woori Yallock with help from the Willowlake vineyard at Gladysdale. 20% whole bunches. It's a crisp, light, bell-clear Pinot with pretty cranberry, red cherry and musk flavours topped off with spice and briar. Easy drinkability with just a touch extra. Drink to 2023. 93 points, Wine Companion (10/2017).
Light purple/red colour, young and fresh but light colour. The aromas are strawberry and red cherry -- quite fruit-driven and delicious. Pure-fruited, but not straightforward. The wine is sweetly cherry-flavoured and fresh, clean and bright, with stacks of appeal in a lighter mould. Delicious wine in a lighter style. Drink to 2029. 93 points, Real Review (10/2017).
Winemaker Damian North is a lovely gentleman with wines that speak of the Yarra Valley with great clarity. This is fruit from the upper Yarra, an unusual year climatically for grape growing and harvesting… Pretty perfume of red cherry, watermelon, rose water, briar and clove. The palate… has a rearguard of sweet fruit that finishes off each sip nicely. Soft, succulent texture, a little burr of dusty-savoury tannin... gentle sweetness a motif. It's very nice drinking. Delicious bistro style... Drink to 2023. 91 points, Wine Front (5/2017).
Yarra ValleyThe Yarra Valley was first planted by the Ryrie brothers who explored a way through the Snowy Mountains to the Yarra Valley, planting grapes in 1838 just three years after the foundation of Melbourne. A wine industry (developed by Swiss Settlers particularly Hubert de Castella and Baron Guillaume de Pury in the 1850s) thrived during the gold rush era and heyday of the 19th century. However, the end of the gold rush brought the wine industry into decline and it was not until the 1970's that the modern wine industry started up again. The region is probably Australia's best-known cool-climate area, yet it is really a patchwork of meso-climates. This varied topography creates an incredible set of variables. Vineyards are planted on elevations of 50 to 400m on varying aspects and management programmes. The more exposed sites are subject to severe spring frosts and winds. Overall, the area experiences a relatively high rainfall pattern and is known for its temperature extremes during ripening. Site selection is crucial, with the best vineyards often located where the original vines were once planted, generally on sandy clay loams and gravels. The Yarra Valley is well known for high quality Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Blends with Shiraz increasingly garnering attention. Sparkling wine production is also extremely important, with many of Australia's finest examples produced in the region.

Just as extreme precision is required in kiln girth gear alignment, so a chair needs to be aligned properly in order to become the perfect seat. However, even the biggest chair manufacturers have been known to ignore this principle. They end up absolutely clueless why they're losing market share or profitability.
Extra information about kiln girth gear alignment
Girth Gears are Made for Heavy Loads
The fact remains: people don't just need beautiful chairs. More importantly, they need to be absolutely comfortable with their choice as far as balance and safety are concerned. No doubt, you've come across how a table can have poor alignment at the foot level.
As a result, there are coffees and other drinks spilt from time to time. In fact, there can be instances of unsuspecting guests with cakes landing on their faces as a result. So it's about time for companies to seek the higher ground by really paying attention to the details of the business.
For just as kiln girth gear alignment ensures the proper distribution of concrete and other industrial mixtures, chair users need to be proactively protected from an otherwise constant and accidental misery. Falling off a chair, getting injured by it or hit by it must stop once and for all. The blind allegiance to elegance, the seduction of colour, and other material elements are but background noise that needs to go.
Back to the Basics
True, we live in a time where manufacturers from various industries are trying to outdo each other through the implementation of bleeding edge technology. And yet time and again, any extensive product research ultimately brings home the point. An old song says it succinctly: "a chair is still a chair--even when there's no one sitting there."
The Curious Case of a Square Peg in a Round Hole
In the same vein, well-meaning furniture makers must never forget the basic function of a good seat. For without the balancing act, the damage is already done even before the product reaches the store shelves. Function must come first, followed only by beauty.
This is not to say that you don't ever hit two birds with one stone. For the fact is, sometimes you can get incredibly lucky in manufacturing just as anywhere else. But prioritization dictates that the most important factor must come first. Otherwise, rotary tubular kilns, tube mills, and the like aren't being properly served.
Easier Said than Done
On the contrary, they are causing minor accidents that can eventually lead to a product recall. So here's the trick. Any well-meaning company must always prioritize to a T.
The Curse of Technology
Failure to do so can result in unintended casualties. Because sooner or later, class action suites emanating from the mistakes of the past and the present may come back to haunt you and your firm. So why not just make it right in the first place?
The Only Real Solution
The firm's values have a big role to play for long-term success. Words like focus, prioritization, and balance may all seem like empty words. But when you come to think of it, having these values as part of a mission statement or corporate vision makes perfect sense. Half of the battle is already won.

Our First Blog – North West Highlands Tour
Our First Blog – North West Highlands Tour
Hello! We are very pleased to have our new website up and running and also new recordings available for you to listen to.
Aonach Mor were formed in early 2013, originally as 2 duos. We decided it'd be better to join forces and have never looked back since Since then we've performed throughout Scotland and are a part of the Live Music Now Scotland scheme.
Live Music Now Scotland brings live music into places that may not always have the opportunity to experience it, such as residential care homes, community groups for adults with learning difficulties and disabilities and special needs schools.
Recently we embarked on a tour of the North West Highlands, squeezing in 8 gigs in 3 days. As I grew up in the Highlands this was a welcome change from city life for a few days and I think the boys agreed. On day one we performed in Ballachullish, Inverlochy (Fort William) and Fort Augustus, clocking up a lot of miles and taking in some breathtaking views. As we recently changed our name to Aonach Mor, the boys were really keen to see the mountain. I found this out very early in the tour as every mountain we passed I was asked "Is that Aonach Mor?!" – we had only just left Glasgow at this point and the question was asked around 30 more times throughout the tour (even after I had pointed it out). Our final gig of the day was in Fort Augustus and it was one of the resident's 90th birthday so we had a lovely party with him. The oldest resident there was an amazing 107 years old!
We then travelled up to Plockton to have a lovely dinner at the Plockton Inn and got some well needed sleep before the next 2 days of tour. Day 2 consisted of a concert in Plockton Primary school and then out to Dornie where we entertained the residents of Aird Ferry Day Centre. The working day was finished off with a concert/workshop for the talented youngsters of the National Centre of Excellence in Traditional Music.
With only 2 more gigs to go for this short tour we headed across the bridge to the Isle of Skye and performed in another one of the local primary schools; Kyleakin Primary. We did the same concert again on the other side of the bridge at Kyle Primary and the kids at both schools seemed to have a wonderful time participating and dancing along to our music.
Unfortunately for us it was time to head back to Glasgow. Over the three days our 8 concerts were very enjoyable and we definitely had at least a few months supply of tea and cake too…

Day Two is in the bag and it was a great day - sunny and around 17C, shorts and t-shirt weather. I will take a whole Winter of this. I was a little stiff at the start, but it disappeared quickly. I also did a weight check this morning: 180lbs. Let's see where I end up on News Years Day. A lunch run is out of the question tomorrow and I'm not sure when I can fit one in. It may be an early morning.
By the way, I did a bit of research into the ground rules of running streaks. There are a few significant organisations that track this stuff. The one criteria that appears to be common to all is that the run has to be a minimum of one mile in length. According to the United States Running Streak Association, it must be "at least one mile (1.61 kilometers) within each calendar day. Running may occur on either the roads, a track, over hill and dale, or on a treadmill" I can live with that.

4. Cone Snail
This snail is so dangerous that one drops of his venom is more than enough to end 20 human lives. The worst thing about it is that there is no cure or some kind of antidote. If it stings you, you are dead whatever you do. It is also known as the cigarette snail because its poison kills you as fast as it takes you finish one cigarette.

Flying to Nats
Mark Ford replied to RJackson's topic in About the IPMS/USA National ConventionExcellent point about TSA by all. Engage the screeners in a friendly way and let them know what it is inside your box. I have had to open my box many times but only to allow the screeners to see the model. Most any happy to see the actual model(s). I build 1/35 military vehicles, tanks, etc. I make my own box each year to fit the model/bases and comply with the size restrictions for the overhead bin. In all the 20+ Nats I have attended , I have driven to only 3. The carry-on box I make is from cardboard. Sears has been very helpful with cardboard used for large appliances. I build the box with a removable top and a folding end (one side only). Cardboard strips are glued along the inside walls of the box to "lock" the model base in place for the trip. Duct tape is my friend in building the box : ) BTW, I always glue my models to the base. Nylon straps secure the box closed and provide me with a handle to carry it. I put the box in the overhead bin and have never had a model damaged...even from a rough landing. Good luck, Mark

Hotel Reservations
Mark Ford replied to SteveCollins's topic in About the IPMS/USA National ConventionI am wondering if there is a plan in place to make cancelled reservations available to folks who were not able for one reason or another to make one soon enough to get into the convention hotel. I have my reservation and will be there in Phoenix, so this isn't about me. Over the past 5+ years, I've noticed the hotel room block sells out quickly once it is open to the membership (or anyone else planning to attend). Then as the date gets closer to the convention, a number of people, for any and all reasons, are unable to attend and cancel their reservation. Perhaps the convention folks can work a deal with the hotel and IPMS/USA to make these reservations available for up to 1-2 weeks prior to the start. Many times hotels are reluctant to allow this to happen. I don't know if this is feasible but might it be possible ? Regards, Mark

Richard Sullivan, the owner of R&J Enterprises, passed away on 20 September 2017, after a short battle with cancer. Rich was well known in the armor builder circles as a long time show vendor and mail order company for all things armor model related. He began as a modeler making many business trips to Japan in the mid-late 1980's. He would bring back hard to find kits and aftermarket items to sell and support his hobby. This evolved into a home business specializing in armor related items for sale at model shows and mail order. Rich was a guy with a great personality and gift for storytelling of his many trips and experiences from around the world. He will be sorely missed. RIPO Rich Sullivan.
pin colors
Mark Ford replied to Ron Bell's topic in About the IPMS/USA National ConventionThe "gold" pin was handed out if you were involved with the judging. Sadly, they ran out of the "gold" pins and a number of judges were left out in the cold. There are no plans to get any more for those who didn't get theirs. One of my friends from Italy did not get his and was much disappointed. Mark
Elimination of the IPMS/USA Make and Take Program
Mark Ford replied to JohnNoack's topic in Ask the IPMS/USAIn some ways this is a sad result for a well intended program. It is sad the intended result never came about. My local club hosted 6 or so MnT events over the past 6 or 7 years. We got ZERO new members from our efforts. Mark Ford.

What was your first model store like?
Mark Ford replied to Ron Bell's topic in General ModelingAbout 1957, Neu Eisenberg, W. Germany I was 11 years old, USAF service brat, Dad stationed at Rhein Main AFB. My buddies and I found a small store in town that sold airplane kits.....Frog or Airfix, don't remember. The base PX also had a small selection of plastic kits too. Came back to the States in 1960 and my mother worked for the BX at Travis AFB, CA. The BX had a large plastic model section....I was in hog heaven ! Many happy memories ! Mark
Going to have to miss this one for the first time in many years : ) Have fun at the museum !

October 5, 2015
To our extended theatre family:
Since 2003, Quick As A Wink Theatre Society has been an active member of the performing arts scene in the Avon Region, living by a mandate of educating and increasing the public's understanding and appreciation of the arts. Quick As A Wink hopes to remain part of your community for many years to come.
As a registered charity, Quick As A Wink balances the costs of producing quality plays and musicals with the affordability of ticket prices. Each year Quick As A Wink aims to cover costs, breaking even through limited streams of revenue, including tickets sales, local partnerships, donations, fundraisers and special events. An average large-cast musical has a budget of $12,000 - $18,000, with our plays and small-cast musicals produced on budgets between $5,000 - $8,000. The largest costs for most of the plays and musicals are the production rights, most of which are ordered from licensing agencies in the United States. The low Canadian Dollar has significantly increased the cost of these fees for all Canadian theatre production companies, including Quick As A Wink.
The weak dollar has also had an effect on other businesses with which we deal, including building materials companies, clothing and fabric companies, transportation companies, and other retail businesses. This has led to increased operating expense costs, ticket processing costs, and production costs.
As a result, effective October 5, 2015, Quick As A Wink will adopt a new ticket pricing structure intended to preserve the quality of shows you have come to expect, while maintaining an affordable venue for live entertainment in the Avon Region. We will adopt the following ticket pricing structure.
Adult $20.00
Senior/Student $16.00 (20% discount)
12 and under $12.00 (no change from 2015)
Further to the new pricing structure, Quick As A Wink has discontinued public memberships due to low interest. All 2015 memberships will remain active until the 2016 Annual General Meeting, as stated in the original transaction. Active members will take advantage of the Senior/Student pricing until their membership expires. Actors will no longer purchase memberships, but will be required to pay an Actor's Levy, confirming they are protected by our insurance policy. Actor's Levy pricing will adopt the 2015 Membership pricing at status quo.
In addition to the new ticket pricing structure we are proud to introduce our first Season Ticket Packages, available for the 2016 season. Season Tickets are available online at QAAW.ca. Enjoy four shows for the following prices.
Admit One (four shows) $60.00 (save up to $20.00)
Pair of Tickets (per four shows) $110.00 (save up to $50.00)
We would like to thank you for your continued support of Quick As A Wink Theatre Society and we will continue to enhance our product in order to better serve you in the future.
Quick As A Wink Theatre Society, Board of Directors

Update: I meant to come back to this to write my thoughts about Liverpool's loss/win over the minnows that are Total Network Solution, but nothing. Nada. Not one spark of inspiration. Instead, I was engrossed in the annual saga of "Will he stay or won't he?" that has involved every home-grown talent from Liverpool for the last few years. Funnily enough, there's a bit of a trend there for impressive talent, peaking in the early 20s, waning quickly (usually after 4-5 years of service), and a hurry to sell to the first chump squad that believes the hype. Honestly, which of the recent born-and-breds has succeeded upon leaving 'pool? If anything, we've cursed Man City with the g'awful Liverpool B -side.

- Fix roof leaks
- Repair and replace guttering and downpipes
- Measure, make and install all types of flashings
Leave the hard work to us, we know what to do
We provide every aspect of roof repairs, among others, flashings, guttering and dormers.
We have years of experience in undertaking all types of lead work, having worked on stately homes, prestigious new build projects, and on a notable amount of important public buildings.
We can work in conjunction with architects and experts on the design of new projects and also perform work for local authorities on a regular basis. All of our lead work is undertaken by ourselves, so we can ensure a high efficiency in all we do.
Your home might need some investigation and revision by a trusted, experienced team when problems arise.
The first step to protect your property is to protect your roof
We always recommend that at least once per year, you should have your roof surveyed to find out if you have any underlying problems or a problem that can be repaired. Your roof structure is one of the most important parts of the property.
If you have any water penetration, this can often lead to expensive re-decoration works and, in some cases, big damages that can't always be repaired.
For example, cracked or broken tiles are an unfortunate and common occurrence, especially on lower level roofs and usually a result of maintenance traffic, such as window cleaners.
It is highly recommended that cracked tiles are replaced as soon as convenient.
What should I consider when choosing a new roof?
Choosing a new roof requires more thought than simply choosing a tile and colour. You should consider the Pitch, the Materials and the weight among others.
The pitch of your roof will dictate what products you can or can't. Don't forget that different products can only be laid at certain pitches.
Among the most used Materials we can find
- Clay: a traditional product bringing warmth and character.
- Concrete: provides an affordable alternative to natural materials and is available in a wide range of profiles, shapes and colours.
- Slate: The precision quality of fibre cement combines ease of installation with performance and affordability.
Regarding weight, it is important to ensure that the roof structure doesn't have weight restrictions and can support your chosen roof covering given external factors such as snow and wind.

To gain competitive advantage companies are turning to advanced analytics in such topics as supply chain management, early stage market research, product development, competitor analysis, economic trends and even human resource management. The important element of Big Data is not the size of the data set, but rather the complex nature of the data. A "Big Data" set will include various types of data from numerous sources. The data will not be in rows and columns. The ability to incorporate disparate data into a decision model is why Big Data is a strategic analytical tool.
This session introduces participants to IBM Watson and Text Analytics and provides an overview of how to use Big Data Analytics to make strategic business decisions and to guide the efforts of others to collect, store and analyze data.
Faculty: Tim Michaelis
Outcomes: Participants will learn an 8-step process for analyzing data and will practice making decisions based on that data.

So lately for my NaBloPoMo posts I've been participating in book tags. (You can read "My Life in Books" and "Inside Out" book tag posts.) Since I have been enjoying these posts so much, I decided to find another one to write about as well. Today I found a post on Beachy Reads with The Coffee Book Tag. I absolutely love coffee, and obviously books (see my "I'm Addicted" post), so I thought this would be the perfect book tag for me. 😀
Each one of the book choices is based on a type of coffee or similar drink. Here are the topics and the drink that they are associated with. I hope you enjoy this book tag post!
Black: Name a series that's tough to get into but has hardcore fans.
The Song of Fire and Ice Series by George R. R. Martin would have to be my pick for this one. I know that this series has a lot of followers, and in fact the books are sitting on my shelf, but the series is also extremely complicated. There are a lot of characters that are followed throughout the series, and the series does not exactly follow the books either. So even for those who have watched the show, but have not read the books (that is also me), there are more complicated events than are shown on HBO.
Peppermint mocha: Name a book that gets more popular during the winter or a festive time of year.
With the holiday season approaching, I know that there will be many winter and holiday themed books reappearing on shelves all over. I think the one that seems to appear most (especially in the past few years) is The Polar Express. Both the book and the movie, along with the songs and all of the singing of Hot Chocolate make it known that the holidays are upon us.
Hot chocolate: What is your favorite children's book?
Speaking of hot chocolate…:) Once again I cannot pick just one book, so I've picked a series…well actually two. Growing up I loved reading The Saddle Club and The Babysitter's Club. Now that I think about these series, I really want to find a copy of each and start reading them again!
Double shot of espresso: Name a book that kept you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.
A book that I recently read that kept me "on the edge of my seat" as I was reading was The Girl on the Train. This was a fantastic psychological thriller and it kept me guessing the entire time.
Starbucks: Name a book you see everywhere.
I know that The Girl on the Train is one book that has been everywhere, but I already used that one. Another book that I keep seeing everywhere is Why Not Me? by Mindy Kaling. I haven't read either one of Mindy's books yet, but they are definitely on my TBR list.
That hipster coffee shop: Give a book by an indie author A shout-out
I recently read and reviewed One of the Few by Jason B Ladd. This is a book that gives a very unique perspective. It is a great read and one that gives a lot of lessons to be learned.
Oops! I accidentally got decaf: Name a book you were expecting more from.
One book that I was expecting more from when I read it was Sweet Tooth by Ian McEwan. I desperately wanted to like this book, but I just could not get past my annoyance with the protagonist. You can read my original review of it here.
The perfect blend: Name a book or series that was both bitter and sweet but ultimately satisfying.
I can't seem to be able to narrow this one down to just a single book, or even a single series. So I'm choosing two individual books and one series. The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty was both sweet and bitter. The secret that is being kept affects so many people, and it's interesting to see the choices that are made. The Red Notebook by Antoine Lauraine was sweet in the way that the story developed, but the bitter part was that it was so short. The Dragon's Call series by A. D. Trosper is one that I find really interesting. I'm normally not one to ready books from the fantasy genre, but these are written so well that I am immediately drawn into that world. I'm currently bitter because the third book in the series seems to set up the reader for a developing storyline, but the fourth book isn't yet out. (You can read my review of the third book, Ashes and Spirits, here.)
Once again, I hope you have enjoyed my book tags with this post. Please feel free to add your ideas for each tag. Or, if you write your own post, please share the link to your post so I can read your picks for each category! Happy writing!

By New Cherry
October 28 2018
We could not have made a better start to our Premiership Cup campaign. Four tries in the first half had Wasps in a blur ...
There's bonus points in this new competition so we had one thanks to tries from Terry, Vellacott, Evans and Coetzer with Joe Mullis getting a fifth in the second half to give us a 31-7 win
Wasps had improved, and defended well at times, with their late consolation coming from Alfie Barbeary.
A good run out for up and coming Cherry and Whites and a pleasant enough distraction from the main events.

Two pages, 4to, good condition. He commences: "Your Moncure Conway lecture was entirely hidden from me by the newspapers. Meanwhile the jingo romance of Churchill and the rancorous explosions of Vansittart were shoved down my throat, and the war atrocities rubbed into me by the wireless set most sedulously.

LETTER: 1p, 12mo. Signed 'Mary Cowden Clarke'. In fair condition, lightly aged, with traces of glue from mount. The letter is addressed at the foot to 'Miss Reader.' It begins: 'Dear Dorothea | Accept my hearty thanks for the spirited sketch you have so kindly sent to me.

A scarce item: privately printed and unpublished. No other copy traced, on WorldCat or COPAC. 8pp, 8vo.

Drophead title on first page 'SHAKESPEARE', and with 'CHRISTOPHER FRY' at end. Minor autograph emendation by Fry on p.4. In good condition, lightly aged, with dogeared corner.

1p., 12mo. On bifolium. In good condition, slghtly aged, with small smudge to signature. Collier produced his first Shakespeare Society reprint in 1841. On the reverse of the second leaf Halliwell-Phillipps has written, presumably to an autograph collector: 'Is this any use to you?'

He asks him not to be 'affronted', explaining: 'What I meant by any printed note was, that each recipient of my Reprints, who wished to continue, should send me another P[ost]. O[ffice].
These two items date from the 1960s, a period during which Saville was a notable 'face' on the London scene: he dated the 'Avengers' actress Diana Rigg and the Pop artist Pauline Boty, and flew Bob Dylan to Britain for his first acting role.
2pp., 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. He thanks him for his 'kind punctuality in the matter of the Newspaper Report of my last Lecture'. He cannot give MacCabe 'a positive direction, as to my movements', and thus asks him to 'send a copy of the paper to "Mrs. Cowden Clarke No. 27 Porchester Terrace Bayswater, London:" to whom I should have forwarded it, had I received it from you'. He will still see the report on his arrival home. He concludes with renewed thanks, and 'every Kind wish for your health and worldly prosperity, (your other-worldly, I doubt not of)'.

He found her 'beautiful drawing' on his return home, and 'Auntie Gertrude will see it today. - I was thirteen days at sea, the ship having to go up to Halifax.
It is safe to say that no Shakespearian actor travelled as widely as Allan Wilkie, and few can surely match the number of his performances. Although born in Liverpool, Wilkie considered himself Scottish ('a young Scots boy'). Inspired by Osmond Tearle, he took to the stage, learning his craft with Ben Greet's company. The Times obituary of 'Mr. Allan Wilkie | Shakespearian actor-manager', 8 January 1970, describes how, after six years as a touring actor-manager in England, Wilkie took his troupe to India, China and Japan, 1911-1913.
Twelve black and white photographs, of slightly varying sizes (around 15 x 10 cm.), each mounted on a piece of grey paper 25 x 18.5 cm. paper with caption and credits printed on it. All in good condition, lightly aged and worn. The twelve are part of a set of sixteen, which were housed in a printed grey-card wallet (not present), titled 'Souvenir of Forbes-Robertson's Farewell at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane'. Dated 'London, Spring, 1913'. The front cover of the wallet carried a list of sixteen 'pictures of some of his most famous parts'.
Both letters are in their envelopes, with stamps and postmarks, addressed by Johnston to his neice at 48 Hogarth Road, South Kensington. ONE: 11 May 1916. 1p., 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged. He thanks her for her 'sweet letter' and explains that he is 'down here in bed with a cold'. He hopes for a meeting when he comes to town, congratulates 'Philip' (her brother Philippe (1898-1968), artist and illustrator) on doing well, and sends best wishes to her mother (the Polish artist Janina Flamm). TWO: 7 June 1916. 2pp., 12mo. Bifolium.
Three pages, 12mo, bifolium, black-borderd, closed tear on fold, residue of glue final blank page. He has enclosed "two ladies tickets for the balcony" and advises getting there early because of the "great crowd". "All will be over by three as the Duke of Newcastle - Gladstone & others will have to attend a Council." He passes on Mrs Kean's good wishes.
1p., 4to. On aged and worn paper. Enquiring whether 'Mr. Kelt' will be free to play, 'at the same salary you are now receiving pro rata', in 'three special Matinees of "The Winter's Tale" on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday during the week commencing November 4th.', and also possibly a further two matinees a week during 'the run of "Twelfth Night"', the first week's matinees being on the Wednesday and Thursday. Beneath Pigott's signature Forbes-Robertson has written: 'got 10s per performance'. From the Forbes-Robertson papers.
All twenty-four illustrations have been laid down on leaves removed from an album of prints. Both series are numbered to twelve, and each is complete. The plates in the Retzsch series appear to have had their margins cropped. All images clear and complete, on lightly-aged paper, with occasional light spotting and discoloration.

16pp., 4to. Stapled. In fair condition, on aged paper a little rolled at head and foot.

10pp., 12mo, paginated 265-274. Stapled. In good condition, on lightly-aged shiny art paper, with vertical crease. Inscribed at head of first page: 'For Harry Levin | - with regards - | Irving Ribner'. Frye's book was published by Princeton University Press in 1963. From the papers of the American critic Harry Levin (1912-1994). Scarce: no copy of this offprint on COPAC.

Training your horse to have its hooves trimmed is very much like halter training them, with a few twists and turns. The horse should be willing to stand completely still, lift its feet when commanded to do so, and let you work on that foot until you put down.
You would be surprised how many horses simply don't stand still, this is a sure sign of incomplete halter training. You will want your horse to be able to move backward, forward, left or right, move the front quarters, move the back quarters, all on your command signal. The command signals that you choose to use, may be moving the lead rope, applying pressure with your hand on the part you want move, or on a more advanced level just using your energy to move the horse. Once you've taught your horse to move on your signal, you then teach them not to move until you give them the signal to do so.
It is much easier to get the horse to lift its foot if it is standing in a balanced position, don't ask him to pick up his foot if most of his weight is on that foot, it's just not going to happen. You want the horse to be able pickup it's foot without falling on top of you, so be very aware if your horse is standing balanced or not.
How to signal your horse to pick up his foot is completely up to you, here is what I do, first of all before I ever touched the foot, I make sure I can touch my horse all over the body before ever running my hand down the leg. I then run my hand down below the hock or the knee, I kiss to the horse as I do this, so horse knows I want them to do something. If the horse still won't pick up it's leg, I apply some pressure to the leg. Applying pressure can be done in a number of different ways, squeezing the tendon behind the cannon bone, squeezing the chestnut, digging in the fingernail to the side of that cannon bone, or gently tapping the cannon bone with your hand or the wooden part of your hoof knife. You do whatever you have to do to get them to lift the leg.
If the horse lifts it's leg ever so slightly, maybe just taking the weight off from it, I release the leg, and stand up rub their body a bit and tell them they did a good job. You want to reward the horse for any try whatsoever when lifting their legs, this will create better communications with your horse and reward them for listening to you. You will want to increase the time of the leg being off the ground until is long enough that you could actually trim the horse, by doing it without your tools for a while, when the time arrives to actually trim your horse it will be a breeze.

AUSTRALIAN Wool Innovation says it no longer needs to hold an extraordinary general meeting this month, having instead consulted with woolgrower representative groups to resolve issues arising from its governance review.
It's a move welcomed by WoolProducers Australia, with WPA president Ed Storey saying holding an EGM "would have prolonged the state of uncertainty".
The issues in question surround imposing a cap on the maximum term served by directors, the declaration of AGM proxies held by the chair, the structure of the board nomination committee and definition of director independence.

This Week's Five Links
25 Years Ago I Coined the Phrase "Triple Bottom Line." Here's Why It's Time to Rethink It — Harvard Business Review
John Elkington is issuing a recall on the concept of the triple bottom line — a sustainability framework he developed that examines a company's social, environment, and economic impact. He argues that it has become diluted and is most often used to enable a "trade-off" mindset. The term could be saved, he says, but only if companies embrace radical systems change instead of incremental efforts.
Why Even Viral-Fundraising Skeptics Can Feel Good About Donating to RAICES — Slate
"Rage-giving" is all the rage since Trump took office. But the record-breaking Facebook fundraiser for RAICES — the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services in Texas — shattered all expectations. To date, it's earned over $20M. But is it effective philanthropy? Writing for Slate, Felix Salmon says yes, because the non-profit's solution is scalable.
👉 TAKE ACTION: Donate to RAICES to help keep families together.
Financial World's A-List Could Take Hollywood's Cue on Inclusion — The New York Times
At the Oscars, Frances McDormand introduced us to "inclusion riders" — a contract clause that ensures diverse hiring on set. The idea is now spreading to the financial world. But to work, says Andrew Ross Sorkin, it'll need the "big pools of money" like pension funds and college endowments to demand diversity in their investment firms.
'Refurbished' Is the New Frontier for Outdoor Gear Retailers — TreeHugger
Secondhand is hot right now. Top brands like EILEEN FISHER, Patagonia, REI and now The North Face have created mechanisms that allow customers to easily give a second life to old clothing. It's a smart move for the environment, but it's also good marketing. After all, only high-quality products can be used again and again and again.
The Magic Number of People Needed to Create Social Change — Fast Company
Only 25% of a group needs to adopt a new social norm before the whole group follows, says a recent study from the University of Pennsylvania. The lead author, Damon Centola, says: "When a community is close to a tipping point to cause large-scale social change, there's no way they would know this. And if they're just below a tipping point, their efforts will fail." But reach that magic number and things can change fast.
Spotlight: Brands & The Border
Profiting from childhood trauma is not a good look, to put it mildly. But the tentacles of Trump's "zero tolerance" immigration policy have reached a lot of businesses, some unwittingly.
For instance, many airlines were quick to distance themselves from the policy after it was reported that separated children were being flown to different states. Employees at Microsoft and Amazon protested their companies' work with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. And CEOs came out with statements denouncing the policy, donating money and resources to the cause.
But other businesses are still complicit. Take the companies that house and transport migrants, some of which have made millions through government contracts. After these reports surfaced, at least one of those companies, MVM, said it will no longer pursue new contracts associated with undocumented families and children. It's further proof that when citizens express outrage, businesses listen — and perhaps a nudge to express your opinions on the subject to the other companies highlighted in the report.

Written by guest contributor Brian Roe
I spent most of Friday at Gen Con 2014 searching for vintage Citadel Miniatures from the late 1980s and early 90s. This was the era that I really got into collecting and painting war game miniatures. I spent some time in the auction room and was disappointed but not really surprised to lose bidding for a box of plastic Citadel Space Dwarves minis. But it was somewhat peaceful and nostalgic to spend the afternoon seeing various pieces of the gaming past finding new homes.
My visit on Friday was cut a bit short so I knew I'd have to squeeze a lot of stuff into Saturday. So I decided on an overall plan of attack to visit the Entrepreneurs Avenue area of Gen Con, the somewhat dingy gaming ghetto of the dealers room where start-up companies are sequestered into a tight little grid. I decided to primarily check out board games since this is what I tend to play most of the time.
Modern board games are nothing like the dim-witted "roll and move" games of your childhood. Inspired by a still popular line of "Euro Games" including the eternal favorite Settlers of Catan, board games have evolved into densely complex experiences that can take hours to complete and require hundreds of pieces and cards to play. But the overall appeal remains pretty much the same between all board games, they are self-contained and everything you need to play is kept in one box. This makes them far more likely to be played by busy gamers since there is little to no pre-game preparation. And once the rules are learned and the game played a few times for practice, even very complex games can be played quickly and enjoyably.
So I walked through Entrepreneurs Avenue, looked at the games that caught my eye and talked to the folks who made them. Everyone was friendly and eager to talk about their projects, even if their spiel and ballyhoo was sometimes lacking. But I'm more interested in craft and heart than I am in slickness so there was still plenty of interesting stuff to check out. Here are some of my favorites.
In Legacy: Gears of Time by Floodgate Games you play an Antiquitect, an operator of The Ancient Machine. You need to make sure that human technology develops in a prescribe manner so you must time travel to keep things on course. Whimsical, steampunky artwork and clever card-based gameplay help make L:GoT both complex and fun. This is one of those games that seems simple at first but actually requires a good amount of thought and planning.
Alien Uprising by Mr. B Games is a cooperative game where players control the crewman of a crashed starship as they attempt to repair their ship while simultaneously defending themselves against attacking Zothren aliens. The overall quality of this game is evident with a nicely illustrated board and well sculpted miniatures. It's always great to see a new co-op game since they can keep overly competitive players in check and give the whole group a great sense of achievement when the final goal has been won.
Folklore: The Affliction by Twin Fire Productions is a gothic horror game that drips with atmosphere and mood. Characters scour the countryside looking to find and destroy various forms of supernatural horrors known as Afflictions. There seem to be many levels of character development and gameplay, something more akin to true role-playing than other board games. Folklore reminded me strongly of Hammer horror films which of course makes it awesome.
Destination: Neptune from Griggling Games presents space exploration in an optimistic and positive light, something that is often not the case with other sci-fi board games. Instead of constant "man versus alien" warfare players in Destination Neptune play through four generations of colonists in an attempt to build commercial interest within the Solar System. This is a resource management game with fun design, the little wooden rockets are great, and an educational and upbeat tone.
Space Junk by Lamp Light Games is a zany exercise in junk collection, spaceship modification, and reality TV. I was impressed by the great character concepts and overall presentation. And besides the fact that it shares the same name as a DEVO song it looks like a blast.
And to keep with the theme of games with song titles we have What's He Building In There? which I like to think of as Tom Waits's favorite board game. You play a mad scientist in 1800s London who's just trying to build the perfect doomsday device while constantly being dogged by overzealous Scotland Yard detectives. You'll have to be clever while hiring henchmen and forming your escape plan to make the most of your Evil Doctorate's worth of training.
And finally Titans Tactics by Imbalanced Games is a fast but tactical game that can be played in less than half an hour and features a variety of cool character archetypes that will be familiar to any fan of geek media. Dragons, angels, pirates, monsters, and undead battle to gain power for each player's titan. This looks to be a great lunch break game or one to play before everybody arrives for game night.
Then only problem with being a board game lover at Gen Con is one of being spoiled for choice. And although there were plenty of major releases by larger companies, I still find myself drawn to games made by a few people using a lot of heart and a lot of work. Like independent filmmaking, independent board games can be just as slick and well produced as more expensive productions, funding via Kickstarter has been a huge help in this way, but they often contain more cleverness and greater willingness to take risks. If you want to find cool, new ideas than take the time to check out some of these companies out and see what they've got to offer.

Well this past weekend has been a good one.
The past week though for Tom has not been so good due to all of the Christmas build up and all of the anxieties that surround it. It is all change for him at the moment and he does not cope well with change.
This has resulted in him exhibiting challenging behaviour, although mainly at school. However we are incredibly lucky as the school Tom attends is an ASD specific school and are fantastic, they understand this change in behaviour and have strategies in place to deal with it.
I have tried to keep change to a minimum at home, I am going to put our decorations up slowly and the tree will not be out up until the end of next week, we still need to go and hack one down!
We usually wait until school has finished and the holidays have begun, so that the boys can help decorate the tree and so that Tom knows that Christmas is just around the corner.
If we put the tree up too early, this would only confuse him and cause greater anxieties. We do however use a Christmas countdown calendar, together with his chocolate advent calendar and this does seem to help.
I must just share with you though that he has been busy practicing with his class for the school's Christmas production of Aladdin, apparently his class are all circus performers and he is a juggler, this makes me really smile, I just hope that he is not actually juggling.
In a polar opposite Stephen's key stage 2 production this year is all about Christmas time during the First World War, so that will be an interesting production.
Anyway, we had a settled weekend. On Saturday we had a quiet day in, as I knew that this is what Tom needed, and we all had a lovely chill. Then on Sunday we went to Lakeland Motor Museum, which the boys adore and I have to say we all had a fantastic time. It wasn't too busy and as usual I whizzed around with Tom while Andrew and Stephen completed the 'car quiz'. So we are now down to the last two weeks of term.
Let's hope that Tom is a little more settled.
