Good Day Folks,
In the desert we have two types of direct weather related damage — frost damage (really a kind of 'burn') and sun burn. Both do identical injury to the plants and both should be dealt with in similar fashion.
First — Don't touch the damage until the danger is over! If you are a gardener more interested in beauty than longevity of the plant, you should probably be gardening only with ornamentals, although you will miss the shear pleasure of harvesting your own bounty from your own gardens, while enjoying their beauty most of the year.
Unless we have a severe weather experience, most frost 'burn' or sun burn are on the top of the plant only, and the damaged, dried out portions provide protection to the lower healthy foliage and fruit. If you cut the damage off before the danger is over it is like exposing new baby skin to full sun or cold - the damage will be greater and you could lose the plant.
Second — watch for new growth below the damaged area, sometimes beginning at the soil level, but often beginning at branching areas. This is a good indication that you can start the pruning process and that the frost danger is over.
Third — once the danger is over, you can begin pruning off the dead branches a "little" at a time — DO NOT cut it all off at once — give the protected growth time to acclimate to the sun and air by working around the plant pruning off about a fourth or fifth of the plant then waiting a day or two and do the next section — it should take you about a week to do all the pruning.
Some plants grown here in the desert such as basil or tomato, which you have successfully wintered over with cloth protection, will take a bit longer to get started — their growth is triggered by the warming soil, not just the lack of frost, so watch FIRST for that new growth at the base or nodes of the plant, before beginning to prune.
As we move into the warmer temps of spring, keep that water meter handy for checking soil moisture content.
Welcome to spring in the desert!

Proverbs 15:4 states "A healed tongue is a tree of life, and perverseness in it–a breach in the spirit." – YLT
Did you know that when you don't keep your words in alignment with the word of God it is like opening the door to the enemy giving full access to your spirit for an attack on your mind and emotions which affect your desire to see the will of God manifested in your life? This is the road to spiritual death rather than life. Allow your words to be healed by the redeeming power of the blood of Jesus. Begin to speak according to the Word of God and you close off access to the enemy; you will bring healing, wholeness, and life to your soul. Your spirit man will be full of life – guarded against every onslaught of the enemy.
Be Strengthened – Be Encouraged – Be Blessed
Much Love, Dawn

A story starts with the roll of the dice. At least it can with these Rory's Story Cubes I ran into at Blijfwijs.nl. Wonderful idea to stimulate children's fantasy and get them talking.
It brings me back to the project at Waag Society to create digital building blocks for stories.
Dutch children used to learn to read with these wooden boards (leesplankje) that display a fixed row of words and pictures.
To make learning with the combined pictures and words more individual, Biggle Toys has developed a digital reading board called i-blocks. Children can spell the words they see and will then hear the words pronounced as feedback.
It helps to connect the different senses: children hear the words and see them at the same time. An advantage is that children do not need teacher supervision while using the i-blocks. It can thus be used to provide extra training for those children who need it.
The concept resembles the ideas by Waag Society to develop intuitive, physical toys to support spelling education by combining sight with sound, as worked out in the Spelling Factory.
"Codecadamy is the easiest way to learn how to code. It's interactive, fun, and you can do it with your friends."
Are you keeping up with the new developments in the educational profession?
In the Netherlands there is now an index to keep track of progress of teachers. On a voluntary basis, but the aim is to promote the use of the 160 hours norm. School teachers are expected to spend 160 hours a year on their professional development, such as pedagogical skills. Whether this index will really be a stimulation for training, is discussed in this article by Intermediair (in Dutch).
There might be chances here for e-learning courses to help keep teachers up to date. It allows them to spend their time on training in a flexible way and to follow a personal trajectory.
I am currently starting work on building online training courses and platforms for teachers at OnderwijsNu.
Gamestar Mechanic: A game to teach 9-15 year olds about games. It is a media literacy education tool, as well as a great way to train children to think analytically and to design their own games. It can be used as part of the curriculum in schools.
Children do not have to learn to code, an obstacle when they want to start making games. Instead they play a character that wants to become a game designer.
In the story, the aspiring designer is presented with broken levels because there is a rogue game designer at work. Through these levels, students are presented with game mechanics: Why are certain levels challenging to play, while others are no fun? How do you solve problems in games?
The game was developed at the Institute of Play, home to game expert Katie Salen.
Creationary is one of LEGO's new games. It is a Pictionary game in which you build instead of draw. Playing against children or against adults was a totally different experience!
Start with the easiest levels, keeping the best for last
Take pleasure from the build, even if their subject is not guessed correctly
Change teams or continue alone once team members leave
Did not notice that the adults forgot to award points to successful builders, proud as they were when their subject was guessed.
Go for the higher levels, to challenge others and earn themselves more points
Get frustrated when their subject is guessed too fast
Are so concentrated on building that they do not hear correct guesses
Want to practice before playing to learn how to produce sophisticated builds
Discussed changing the rules to make the game more fair/fun
Time flies: I came across this blog that documents the progress of the StoryBOX project at Waag Society.
Things have changed drastically since I left for my travels to Australia. The unit now looks like a factory instead of blocks and incorporates handwriting.
Objective: Develop a tactile toy for children between 6-7 years to learn language. Allowing them to 'catch' and 'order' words. This is one of the results of an evening of brainstorming and paper prototyping:
It is a tool that is made up of different modules, allowing the children to capture objects, showing them to their classmates and telling a story about them. Turning the closed tubes up and down facilitates guessing games based on the sound the caught treasure makes. Other parts allow the taking of photographs, or have a display to show the pictures that are taken. Combining different hollow containers (object in display-tube placed behind a window-part) creates a cumulative experience of several aspects of one object-word.
The module sizes allow the sliding of parts into each other, creating one single tube that can be easily carried with a strap on the back. Connecting the corresponding cylinders allows for the creation of a network (with branching elements) enabling a game of sending words ('Chinese whisper'), sorting objects in different categories and racing games along the coloured path.
Tested out some projects at the inspiration meeting/ open day of Waag Society's Creative Learning Lab:
Games Atelier
During the afternoon we went across the bridge to play a GPS game at the Java Island. Being just short of phones, I shared one with a visitor who was interested in the technique because she worked with teenagers who had difficulties with learning.
The route was laid out as a free play along multiple locations with 7Scenes. Taking pictures and answering questions about the surrounding we moved along the streets. Getting into the game spirit, we tried to avoid other players when asking pedestrians for answers, while attempting to take a look at the actions of our competitors to learn what we had to do next.
In sharing the phone, my teammate was more than happy to let me to the trial-and-error process of finding out the workings of the program. It was quite clear, although we did miss some points in not answering the question when trying to edit an answer or taking a picture. In the mean time she could imagine how her students would do the same.
We experienced some euphoria when at the end of the twenty minutes we discovered we were one of the groups with the most points.
Animaatje (Zand 2.0)
Drawing in the sand, following its relief, letting animated dots follow your tracks and all this is presented as a do-it-yourself device complete with manual and downloadable software. Intriguing how you can make a three dimensional drawing after building towers and holes in the sand.
Mijn naam is Haas
"My name is Hare" is a serious game that can aid children from 4-6 years in learning a language through exploring Hare's world. I was thrilled by the easiness of drawing in numerous animals and plants into his surrounding, though wondering about the stimulation of children's creativity: what would happen if they would be able to draw in trees and birds of their own choice and shapes?
After overcoming some nerves about breaking the device, I enjoyed the interaction of ScratchWorx, especially playing with the visuals. Looking up and down at my own mix-table screens and buttons and at the screen, I was able to experiment with and find out about the possibilities.
Great "how to" website which teaches you step by step to make it yourself. From things you cannot do without to stuff you had never thought about but will make your life so much better.

This New Lenovo Phone Looks A lot Like the iPhone 6
Design similarities in mobile are nothing new. It doesn't happen as often today, but it's been a darker part of the industry for years. This company copies that company, that company copies this company, and so forth. But Lenovo's new S90 Sisley, which is bound for China, is practically a spitting image of Apple's new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Not only that, but Lenovo's marketing for the device is strikingly similar, too; just check out the pictures above, swiped from the phone's website, and tell me you don't see similarities.
Apple's iPhone has been a hot commodity in China this year, and now that the handsets offer even larger screens, their status has risen in a market Apple has identified as key for the iPhone's growth. We're not saying Lenovo intended to copy Apple outright, but there's really no avoiding the fact that the Chinese company drew inspiration from the iPhone's rounded edges and aluminum design. Lenovo even chose a similar wallpaper in its marketing.
Lenovo has admitted that its new device does share "external similarities" with Apple's device, but said it didn't copy the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. "Considering the product design lifecycle of any smartphone—at least a year in planning and prototyping—it's not possible to copy a design so quickly," Lenovo said. Seeing knock-off iPhone designs out of China is really nothing new, but rarely do we see it from such a large company. Lenovo is the world's biggest PC manufacturer, and is the proud owner of Motorola, which has the best Android phone lineup on the market.
Lenovo's new device sells for 1,999 Yuan (about $325), and offers a 5-inch 720 display, NFC, 16GB of internal storage, dual-SIM support, a 1.2GHz quad-core processor and Android 4.4.4 KitKat. While the phone does look a lot like the iPhone, the screen doesn't curve over into the rounded side, while the device's antenna isn't quite as pronounced. The colors are the same, however, while the phone's UI looks like it's trying hard to look like iOS. Judge for yourself in the pictures above.

this is what i see in the morning when i walk out behind the horse pens after feeding:
a beautifully fenced 354 X 130 foot arena!!
pinch me!! i must be dreaming!!
but let's back up a bit, back to how this arena came to be.
with our herd now grown to seven members,
only two of which have been trained for riding,
we had a real need for a safe and secure riding enclosure–
especially since we have elected to train four young ones ourselves.
although we originally considered a smaller size,
the reality is that with seven horse and lots of family and friends
it made much more sense to build it big enough to meet future needs.
two things allowed us to construct this wonderful arena in only two days:
1. discovering noble fence panels in an online search for arena materials–
their system is solid, safe, attractive, and virtually maintenance-free
once installed. after talking to an owner of the company who engineered
this system, i was convinced that this was the way to go.
i can wholeheartedly recommend them after finishing this project!
2. (but #1 in our hearts!) charlie and jan from parnell's irish cobs, aka the irish rose!
not only have we been blessed to acquire six of their wonderful horses,
we have now embraced them as extended family members and are
twice-blessed to have their assistance on projects that benefit these
treasured creatures!
charlie and jan were gracious enough to load up their bobcat skid steer
along with its 8 inch auger and motor on down for fencing day!
it took a while for us to mark off the fence lines and get a system
going with our work crew and the materials,
but once we got going it was actually pretty fast work.
all of our moisture this spring, along with the fact that we have fairly rock-free soil,
made it easy to drill the fence post holes with the skid steer.
the land slopes more than i had originally thought, so we opted
to step the side panels to accommodate the slope– perfect!
here's the crew on day 1:
of course it's necessary to gather for a meal at day's end!
we completed two sides that day, so we took mother's day off
and reconvened on monday to complete the rest.
here's day 2:
after we got the last corner closed up we were eager to let the horses out
to inspect the project that they had been
watching in earnest supervising!
we did a complete cleanup and then charlie loaded up the skid steer.
two full days of back-breaking volunteer labor and look at this face:
you can't ask for better
friends family than these people!
we were making bets about how the horses would react–
half of the votes were on sunny being the first out of the gate
and the other half were on si gaoithe,
with everyone in agreement that dear timid rose would bring up the rear.
we anticipated that they would dash wildly about before settling down to graze.
when all was ready, we opened the gate…
imagine our surprise when **THIS** happened instead!!
we couldn't help but just watch them enjoy what we referred to as their "promised land"–
we had been promising them for nine days that being confined to only their pens
was going to be SO WORTH IT!!
and it WAS!!
as the sun began to sink in the west,
we simply had to celebrate such a major accomplishment with another family repast,
this time outdoors to the accompaniment of one of our most gorgeous sunsets ever!
the next three are real grainy, since it was dusk and these were taken with an iPhone,
but the colors of the lingering sunset were ever changing and begged capture!
so now in the mornings when i walk down the drive to the west,
i am so happy to see this:
but i'm not the only happy one…
whenever a move is made towards the gate, well…
the line forms here:
gratitude abounds here in wonderland!
peaceful memorial day weekend to you.
little disclaimer: some of you might be thinking that this looks much more like a pasture
than an arena, and right now that's true. eventually we will have it turned and leveled,
but given the lush spring grass that we are blessed with we are giving our overachieving
mowers first opportunity to clear the ground cover. then in a few weeks we can bring in
a tractor and have the ground turned. if we didn't, there would be seven horsey heart attacks–
and two donkey attacks as well.
can't have that, can we?!
Laurie permalinkMay 27, 2013 9:18 pm
little chubby donkey!!!
this is SO beautiful — the help, the land, the horses!
your paradise fills me, too . . .
May 28, 2013 2:33 am
so wonderful….the smiling faces….the hard work….the horses turned out into the promise land…. i am so happy for you….your dreams coming true….


text: Share: Comments Print June 5, 2009 at 4:00 PM Law-enforcement cuts Posted by Seattle Times staff Failure to investigate encourages crimes Tuesday's paper ran a guest commentary titled "Law-enforcement cuts endanger public safety" [Opinion, June 2]. There's a sentence in this article that reads, "Sheriff Sue Rahr decided her deputies will no longer investigate thefts or property crimes that caused less than $10,000 in damage." In Wednesday's paper, there's an article titled "Prosecutors to get tough on repeat burglars." Since deputies are "no longer" investigating burglaries, is Dan Satterberg expecting thieves to turn themselves in? And, just curious, what constitutes "investigating" a burglary? Rahr says they will "no longer" investigate. For years, in unincorporated King County, when one is robbed, policeman come, write a report and tell you to contact your insurance company. They're very clear that you will undoubtedly never see your stolen property again. Is that what "investigating" a burglary means? I had a friend beg a policeman to get the fingerprint of the burglar who left a very clear handprint — five excellent fingerprints — on the window as the thief disappeared with thousands of dollars of goods from her home. The policeman refused; evidently that's not within the scope of what an "investigation" entails. Sadly enough, I think what this means for thieves is "business as usual." — Jean Bolton, Kent Comments | More in budget cuts

Where to Find the World's Best DJ's
There are thousands of DJs in the world, so just where can you find the world's best? Well, they happen to be everywhere. Some are in Paris, others are from the Netherlands, but great music is worth traveling for. This article will go through some of the world's best DJs, so if you love the music, you will know exactly where to look.
David Guetta
Recently named one of the world's top DJs, David Guetta is unlike most of the other top DJs. Most DJs at this top spot are known for trance music, but Guetta is best known for his house, melodic and electro beats. Often DJing in Paris, Guetta also makes frequent appearances in America, especially since many of his albums do amazingly here.
As both a producer and a DJ, Guetta has a major appreciation for the DJ culture. While his music of choice is electro and house, you will often find other dance music genres infiltrating his trademark beats. Go to Paris if you want to see this legend in action.
Armin van Buuren
This Dutch DJ, known for trance music and amazing stage presence, is always a top favorite among music and DJ buffs. He's been around for years and years, and he often top the charts for many of the world's best DJs. If there is one thing better than his DJ style and song choice, it is the stage show he puts on.
Buuren doesn't like using other singers and artists. Instead, he uses a mass of moving stage parts, specialty LCD screens and hand-picked performers to put on a show unlike any other. If you want to see a musical spectacular, then you need to see Buuren in the Netherlands.
When he's not playing clubs in his native home of Sweden, Tiesto is playing in America to college students in LA. Formerly known for trance music, Tiesto has recently moved on to electro and progressive. He is constantly trying out new beats and styles, so you never know what to expect from this DJ.
An avid remixer, Tiesto is always taking music and making it great for the dance floor. If you love dancing at all, then you need to check out Tiesto.
Constantly traveling around America and Europe, Deadmau5 has just started a new UK tour, but he can be anywhere in the world at any one time. Known for playing his own music, especially dubstep tracks, Deadmau5 knows how to work a crowd and put on a great show.
If you are into some heavy electronic music, then you will love Deadmau5. Just search him out, usually in America or UK, and you will see one of the best shows of your life.
Above and Beyond
Known for their obsession with trance, Above and Beyond is a major DJ group usually found in America, though they have also traveled to Russia, the Middle East and almost everywhere else in the world. One of the best things about Above and Beyond is their need to constantly improve. They constantly watch fan videos of their performances to see what they can do better, and their music has provided a much needed catharsis for many of their fans. Through sad and fun times, Above and Beyond's music has provided all the therapy many people need to get through their lives.
Another Dutch DJ, you can normally find him either in the Netherlands or on one of his various American tours. Known for his hard-hitting electro house beats, Afrojack never leaves a crowd wanting more. He satisfies their every need right then and there so you leave feeling like you experienced something bigger than music and bigger than life itself. If electro house is your thing, then you need to see an Afrojack show.
Finding one of the world's best DJs can take some traveling, but if you love music and can't stand listening to those second-rate DJs, then the trip will be well worth it. Just search out one of these top DJs, and you will see a show that you will never forget. They always aim to please, and you will feel that when you hear their songs.

HOLD ON, I have the BEST idea ever! Let's combine a controversial, violent, and frequently hated pop star, let's say…Chris Brown, with a newly trendy, controversial, possibly violent, and frequently hated dog breed…let's make it the pit bull, and combine them and make a business! GODDAMNIT!!!! CHRIS BROWN'S MOM BEAT ME TO IT! So if you're looking for a wildly overpriced pit bull (they're being hawked at $1,000) you can probably just DM Breezy on Twitter for the details.
Lindsay Lohan seriously can't get her shit together. Now the entire cast of Glee hates her too.
In true bitchy fashion OUT "magazine" released its "Power" (bottom?) list of influential LGBT celebrities. But oops! Some of them haven't even said they're homos! Anderson Cooper, Matt Drudge, and FOX News host Shepard Smith are among those on the list who have yet to "come out." I approve Anderson Cooper's being on the list, because I've seen him with my own two eyes in the locker room at the David Barton Gym on 23rd Street, but why do we need to include Matt Drudge and Shepard Smith in there? Do we even want for these guys to be gay? Let's at least throw in somebody fun—ZAYN MALIK!—if we're going to throw in heteros.
Lady Gaga's Born This Way Ball tour kicked off in Seoul, South Korea this week, and pictures, videos, and audio from the show have (obviously) leaked online. So in case you haven't already forgotten that Gaga is still promoting her "new" album, and you haven't heard "Born This Way" too many times, see all the goodies here.
Megan Fox is pregnant which is an odd career decision since her body was the only thing that got her a movie career….right?
If Emma Roberts learned anything before she left Sarah Lawrence, it's that she learned how to dress like a ridiculous person in true Sarah Lawrence fashion! Mesh shirts, comically ugly but "trendy" sunglasses, shoes she found in a dumpster, and UNBUTTONED shorts create her Coachella outfit that is straight out of a Hill House party where girls are sitting in refrigerators and there's a strong smell of ashtrays, snootiness, boob sweat, and Allure by Chanel. The bruise on her right arm also adds a little homey Blue Room mystery to mindblowingly absurd outfit.

Monday is Earth Day 2019, and more than 1 billion people across the globe are expected to celebrate with environmentally friendly events.
But what exactly is Earth Day? Here's what you need to know:
1. When did Earth Day start?
The first Earth Day celebration took place 49 years ago, in 1970, after a devastating oil spill in America brought environmental issues to the forefront of public consciousness. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, 22 million people across the country came out in support of environmental reform.
"That day left a permanent impact on the politics of America," Gaylord Nelson wrote in the April 1980 edition of the EPA Journal. "It forcibly thrust the issue of environmental quality and resources conservation into the political dialogue of the nation.
"It showed political and opinion leadership of the country that the people cared, that they were ready for political action, that the politicians had better get ready, too. In short, Earth Day launched the environmental decade with a bang."
Since then, celebrations have only grown. This year, organizers estimate more than 1 billion people in 192 countries will participate in events the world over. The day is celebrated each year on April 22.
2. Is there a theme for Earth Day 2019?
This year's Earth Day theme, "Protect Our Species," focuses on helping endangered and threatened species.
"The unprecedented global destruction and rapid reduction of plant and wildlife populations are directly linked to causes driven by human activity: climate change, deforestation, habitat loss, trafficking and poaching, unsustainable agriculture, pollution and pesticides to name a few. The impacts are far-reaching," the Earth Day Network, which partners with tens of thousands of organizations in 192 countries to organize Earth Day events, said on its website.
"If we do not act now, extinction may be humanity's most enduring legacy."
The organization's goals include educating the public "about the accelerating rate of extinction of millions of species," protecting species with "major policy victories," creating a "global movement," and urging people to take "individual actions such as adopting [a] plant-based diet and stopping pesticide and herbicide use."
3. How are people celebrating?
More than 3,000 community cleanups are scheduled in dozens of cities, including Miami, Seattle, New York, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., the Earth Day Network reported.
"Plastic pollution and waste challenge every community, every day, and these cleanups offer a chance to make a real difference," the organization's website said.

4. What are businesses doing?
Google marked Earth Day 2019 with an interactive doodle featuring facts about six "awe-inspiring organisms" on our planet, including the wandering albatross, coastal redwood, Paedophryne amauensis (a tiny frog), Amazon water lily, coelacanth (a rare fish) and deep cave springtail.

Apple also joined in on the celebrations, announcing on April 18 that it is "quadrupling the number of locations U.S. customers can send their iPhone to be disassembled by Daisy, its recycling robot."
"Advanced recycling must become an important part of the electronics supply chain, and Apple is pioneering a new path to help push our industry forward," Lisa Jackson, Apple's vice president of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives, said in a statement. "We work hard to design products that our customers can rely on for a long time. When it comes time to recycle them, we hope that the convenience and benefit of our programs will encourage everyone to bring in their old devices."
Meanwhile, the company unveiled its Earth Day Challenge, which "encourages Apple Watch wearers to complete any workout of 30 minutes or more to earn a special Earth Day Award and stickers for Messages."
Apple Stores will have "environmentally themed Today at Apple sessions" Monday, as well.
5. How can I get involved?
There are multiple ways to get into the Earth Day spirit, from participating in a local event to changing your bills from paper to paperless. Here are some suggestions from the Earth Day Network:
- Urge your local elected officials or businesses to make a substantial tree planting commitment by starting a letter-writing campaign or online petition.
- Lead a recycling drive to collect as much plastic, metal and glass as possible.
- Pick up trash at a local park or beach.
- Set up a screening of an environmentally themed movie. Consider supplementing the screening with a speaker who can lead a Q&A following the film.

A 2006 photo of the Cameron Hotel, thanks to Peter Chan. It was popular with RAF personnel in transit to the UK after their engagement was over. Cameron Hotel is located at Guan Soon Avenue, off Upper Changi Road. Jeffery Abdullah adds, that this hotel is located very near to Simei Housing Estate. If you take the MRT, the station that you need to alight will be SIMEI MRT Stn and then its a walking distance cutting through the footpath next to the new condominiums and private houses.

Conferences and industry events are incredibly valuable for the organization and its growth. It is the perfect platform to learn so much from some of the smartest minds and connect directly with thought leaders, strategists, visionaries, researchers and other persons of interest. There is a ton of value in participating in industry events such as Forums and conferences. Unfortunately, in the Maldives, the concept seems less familiar primarily due to lack of conference organizers to conduct premium forums connecting and bringing top minds to the Maldives. In response to the much-needed requirement, Corporate Maldives Academy (CMA) proudly presents "Maldives HR Forum", a unique and innovative event designed to engage, challenge, develop and inspire business leaders and HR personalities in the Maldives.
The Forum will focus on following key aspects
Engage – Engaging employees, Multi-tasking and Personal Development
Educate – Use of Technology for better decision-making and management. Training, Learning and development, Knowledge sharing and employee retention
Empower – Developing sense of involvement and ownership, empowering woman in HR
World-renowned high-end trainers, as well as local experts, are expected to share their ideas, opinions and insights in the event. The Maldives HR Forum is a complimentary business-networking event catered to Senior-level professionals (Directors, Vice Presidents, and CPO's) and HR professionals that will help you make the choices that will drive your business forward through successful HR management.

Gutter Installation and Annual Gutter Cleaning
My home is over 50 years old. I called Adam's Eaves for a quote. They came that day, took the measurements and gave me a quote right away. Work was done the following week. That was a few years ago. I haven't had a problem since. They come and clean my gutters in the spring and fall - like clockwork.
Very happy with their service and I have recommended them to several people.

All I need to do is mention the word "wallpaper" and I am met with nasty looks and loud and disaproving words and sounds. Can you spell "UGH"?
I am here to tell you that, while wallpaper can be a real pain in the patooty to hang and remove, a well-chosen wallpaper can add texture, drama and beauty to many a wall in your home. Take a look at these examples and then let me know if you have changed your mind:
Obviously not a well-staged photo in the before or the after, it does show you how an accent wall covered in a statement making wallpaper can turn a dull master bedroom into a room where the magic happens, if you know what I mean. Here is the before….yawn
and here is the after. Much better, don't you agree?
This wallpaper, Best in Show by Osborne & Little, has long been a favorite of mine. And it is the perfect choice to add a whimsical and contemporary touch to this traditional entry way.
And the Philipp Jeffries grasscloth and studded wallcovering I hope to install in my own small den. Can't wait to see how the room is transformed and I will be sure to share it with you.
A powder room is one of the best places to showcase a beautiful wallpaper. This is a room that you do not spend a lot of time in so there is no concern that a bold wallpaper will be overwhelming but, rather, beautiful.
This one is perfect for a lodge, vacation home or mountain cabin. Wish I had one of those (mountain cabin that is)

OK, OK … DC Bachelor says he needs an intern … aka wingchick. Hey, Bachelor! Thought I was your wingchick?! Oh, I'm gonna start some drama!
OK, OK. Well, I guess we all have the right to hire interns a.k.a. legal slaves. BUT, Bachelor Man – you know that if anyone needs an intern, it's me.
I am so busy that I cannot even remember when it is time to order my groceries – until Mr. Outlook alerts me. And then I have to schedule a time to order my groceries, using my phone's alarm as a reminder. An intern could do that.
Here's my ad:
– Open doors for me, drive me around and buy me flowers.
– Order my groceries (it's easy, Peapod has pictures)
– Massage my feet, hands and legs
– Make Starbucks runs
– Carry my laptop bag for me (to and from work)
– Walk me home from yoga class
– Make sure the maid comes when she's supposed to come
– Jog with me, in an effort to make sure that my ipod clippy thing does not fail
– Escort me to events, holding my hand when I see an ex-boyfriend
– Help me turn my fireplace on. This baby is ready to go, but I am afraid to press the button
Looking for someone 18-22 years old. The intern must be male (or female if we can figure out how to make sure our menstrual cycles do not sync up — that would be a total disaster). Fluency in English, Spanish and French preferred (so he can understand me when I am cursing). And candidates that like to pick up dry cleaning win extra bonus points.
The intern must be willing to live with me for two months (he will get his own bedroom and bathroom, of course). I will pay for lunches (since we will be working together). And I will give him money for beer, food or whatever interns need.
What is the educational aspect of this internship you ask? Well – duh! He gets to learn all about me!
QUESTION: Is today's college student the working slave of tomorrow?

A 73-year-old woman was killed and more than 5,000 people lost their homes in a fire that gutted three villages in a sea-front area in Sabah state, on Borneo island, Malaysia, news reports said today.
Authorities estimated that 70 per cent of the victims were not Malaysian citizens, The Star newspaper reported. Many illegal immigrants from the Philippines and Indonesia live in Sabah.
The woman, Tsan Swee Lee, died while trying to escape from her home in Kampung Kombo, a grouping of two squatter settlements, The Star reported. A 10-year-old boy was missing. Their nationalities were unclear.
Firefighters were hampered by low water pressure and strong winds and needed six hours to extinguish the fire, which broke out Thursday morning, the national news agency Bernama reported.
An investigation was opened into the cause.

Nick Davis's Blog
Cloud computing promises to change much of how we as developers, designers, and architects currently design and build web applications. For one, concurrency is big issue that need to be addressed if the apps of the next decade are going to scale on this cloud infrastructure.
One of the most popular themes in the last couple years on the web is the much-heralded "cloud computing". Of course, the cloud metaphor is taken from the representation of the Internet in architecture diagrams as a big fluffy cloud to which other, more discrete networks and systems are interconnected. From the Wikipedia page, Cloud computing, defined, is:
a style of computing in which IT-related capabilities are provided "as a service", allowing users to access technology-enabled services from the Internet ("in the cloud") without knowledge of, expertise with, or control over the technology infrastructure that supports them.
Google popularized dynamic web-based applications that behaved much like desktop apps, and essentially ushered in the era of what we fondly (sometimes snidely) call "Web 2.0″. In the short span of 3 or 4 years (I'm counting since 2005, when the web community at large became aware of Ajax and similar technology), dynamic web applications have become the de facto UI for end-user interactive software offerings — if it makes sense to use the ubiquitous browser as the frontend, then why not? Instead of forcing users to install, configure, and learn yet another new desktop app, give them an interface with which they're already comfortable and familiar. As an added benefit, the browser interface is supported on nearly every operating system and platform used today (proprietary plugins and extensions notwithstanding).
Since then, the "cloud" has been touted as the next generation of the web, and as a concept encompasses a few key areas:
- storage - collect user settings/preferences, documents and media
- computing cycles - harness the power of a thousand-node grid of servers for complex problems or CPU-intensive workloads
- network transparency - mask low-level details such as IP addresses and other info as much as possible
Who's Who and Challenges
Large vendors with existing market plays involving huge server farms and data centers are eagerly jumping on the bandwagon — like IBM, Google, Amazon, Sun, etc. Software vendors are touting their existing and upcoming apps as "cloud" initiatives. The previously mentioned firms, as well as Salesforce, Zimbra (now owned by Yahoo), Zoho, and a multitude of other startups are all rushing to lay claim to a piece of land in the Cloud Gold Rush. Even Microsoft, notoriously late to the web party, instead relying on its stalwart cash cows of Windows and Office, has made its own bid in the cloud wars with Mesh and announcements of a web version of Office.
Cloud computing promises to change much of how we as developers, designers, and architects currently design and build web applications. For one, concurrency is big issue that need to be addressed if the apps of the next decade are going to scale on this cloud infrastructure. Languages, platforms, and tools need to provide solutions for creating apps that scale efficiently on multiple cores, processors, and even systems. Architects will have to design solutions that are massively scalable and take advantage of the properties of the cloud. UI specialists and designers will work with browser-based frontends, as well as newer mobile phone interfaces and Internet-enabled devices (such as Nokia's Maemo Internet tablet).
Beyond the Cloud
I envision a future beyond the current cloud computing craze, perhaps in 5 - 10 years, where computing is a utility service just like power and telephone service are today. Several companies, including Amazon and Sun, are already offering some utility-style services, and many distributed computing projects tackling specific problems run on volunteer end-user systems today, but I'm thinking of something much broader. Instead of vendor-specific mini-clouds or utility services, we should aim for what I'll term universal utility computing (UUC), built on open protocols and standards.
Essentially, the idea is to ensure every node in the cloud is an active member. By "active", I mean the resources of every device are available for use by others. Computing cycles can be used (when idle, or up to a certain configurable threshold percentage of total CPU), storage, etc. It's similar in nature to a grid and distributed computing, but utilizing a general, Internet-wide approach.
So how would such a system work? For starters, a UUC protocol would be required, and agent software written for various operating systems. The protocol would specify the sequence of communication between nodes, allowing true peer-to-peer messaging. The agent would ideally sit in the kernel space, interacting with the built-in scheduler, hardware abstraction layer, and storage subsystem.
Once a device has been "UUC-enabled", it could begin to participate in the utility cloud. Every system in the cloud would share its resources for utility computing. Applications would then have the ability to harness as much computing power as required. Nodes that didn't participate in the utility cloud couldn't take advantage of utility resources.
Imagine all mobile phones on Earth utilizing a small portion of their resources in protein folding computations, or all servers processing climate forecasting data, or molecular level interactions for medical applications. Internet-enabled gaming consoles, tablets, laptops, desktops, and a plethora of devices that may be idle 90% of the time can now be used for computation. Imagine if the machines available to the average botnet hacker could be used for helpful purposes instead of spam.
Naturally, there are several challenges that must be overcome. Security and privacy, as today, would have to be addressed, employing encryption and other techniques to ensure confidentiality and integrity. Outside of individual nodes, there must be built-in mechanisms for preventing DDOS-style attacks, as well as preventing malicious users from exhausting the available utility-dedicated resources on one or several devices. There must also be a system used to prioritize workloads sent to the cloud, and a way to adjust the priority of a task. Checks and balances could be automatic, ensuring that a particular workload doesn't use more than pre-determined slice of the available resources for a system.
Universal utility computing could be the next phase of computing, one where the Internet is a true peer-to-peer system, and all nodes participate and share resources. Instead of having expensive data centers with custom hardware and software solutions, billions of devices with idle processors can be harnessed to help solve a variety of problems affecting the enterprise, health care, the scientific community, and others.

Do you think you know a lot about dental care in Shreveport, Louisiana? If so, it's time to test your knowledge! Dental care can be tricky at times, so do your best to answer the following questions correctly and let us know how you do!
Question: How often should I visit my dentist?
Answer: It's very important to visit your dentist every six months for a routine cleaning and exam. If you avoid these appointments, your smile could easily fall victim to tooth decay, gum disease, and other dental issues.
Question: How safe are dental X-Rays?
Answer: Because of the advances in dentistry over the years, dental X-Rays are safe. They only produce low radiation and they only focus on a small area of the body. In fact, federal law requires that X-Ray machines are checked every two years for safety and accuracy.
Question: I'm scared of the dental office. What should I do?
Answer: If you are scared of the dental office, it's best to talk to your dental team about your fears. That way, your dental team will be able to accommodate your needs and help you feel more comfortable in the hands of the dentist.

IO Theater
iO, or iO Chicago, (formerly known as "ImprovOlympic") is a theater and training center located at 1501 N. Kingsbury in Chicago, Illinois (formerly 3541 N. Clark St.). The theater both teaches and hosts performances of improvisational comedy. It was founded in 1981 by the late Del Close and Charna Halpern. iO concentrates on "long-form" improvisational structures, in contrast to the "short-form" or "improv game" format of Theatresports, ComedySportz or the television show Whose Line Is It Anyway?. The iO's signature piece is the "Harold", and the theater features other forms of improvisation, as well as sketch comedy and stand-up comedy.
In addition to five performance spaces, the building also has multiple classrooms for use by the theater's training center, as well as a large private event space available to rent for various functions. There is a large full bar located on the first floor, a smaller one located upstairs, with food available from the kitchen downstairs.
The building has 4 performance spaces:
- The Del Close Theater - This is the second-largest of iO's theaters, and is located on the ground floor of the building. It hosts some of iO's premiere shows such as The Armando Diaz Theatrical Experience and Hootenanny, Whirled News Tonight, The Improvised Shakespeare Company, and The Deltones.
- The Chris Farley Cabaret - One of two "cabaret" style theaters in the building, this theater hosts many different types of performances, mostly improvised and mostly non-Harold.
- The Jason Chin Harold Cabaret - Named after a revered teacher at iO who died on January 8, 2015, this theater predominantly features performances of the "Harold" from house teams at the theater that specialize in that form.
- The Mission Theater - This theater is adjacent to the main iO complex, but is separately run and managed by T. J. Jagodowski and David Pasquesi, or "TJ and Dave".
There are performances both upstairs and downstairs every night of the week, with the exception of some holidays. Shows can consist of either a Harold or a "show". Shows can be special limited runs (typically 1– 2 months) of a particular group / piece, or they can be open runs of long standing formats using regular performers at the theater (e.g. The Armando Diaz Theatrical Experience and Hootenanny, which has the same format but a different cast every week). A typical "Harold performance" consists of 2 or 3 groups doing a Harold; newer teams usually open the night and more veteran teams give the final performance(s). On some nights, usually in the downstairs theater, they will play the short form game "The Dream" using an audience volunteer after the second Harold of the night, and then play the short form game "Freeze" after the final Harold. A "show" slot typically, but not always, has a Harold team open for them, usually one of the newer teams.
There are approximately 35 Harold teams at iO at this time; the exact number fluctuates up and down when old teams are cut from the roster and new teams are created. New teams in the past have come from the final performance level class (5B), from open auditions, and from recombining performers taken from cut teams. The oldest Harold team has been together for more than 5 years, several have been around for 3+ years, and there are many that are less than 6 months old.
iO has one other active franchise: iO West, located in Los Angeles, California. A former franchise, iO South, was located in Raleigh, North Carolina.

1981 - The ImprovOlympic was created, putting competing teams of comedic improvisers on stage in front of audiences. It was the brainchild of David Shepherd, who used early Viola Spolin theater games as a way for teams to compete. The first ImprovOlympic classes and shows took place at The Players Workshop in Chicago, where Charna Halpern was an improv student. Charna Halpern became David Shepherd's assistant, and eventually the producer of the competitions.
1982 - The ImprovOlympic moved from The Players Workshop to its own space. Teams began to form out of every major improv troupe in Chicago.
1983 - Shows began shifting to a long-form approach.
1995 - The ImprovOlympic moves to its location on Clark St. in Chicago.[1]
1997 - Paul Vaillancourt opened a companion theater, iO West, in Los Angeles, California. Today it is managed by James Grace.
2001 - The International Olympic Committee threatened the theater legally over its use of the name "ImprovOlympic" and the name was subsequently changed to "iO."
2005 (Sept 2) - iO holds its 25th anniversary show at the Chicago Theater in downtown Chicago. The wireless microphones go dead shortly into the show, but the improvisers rally and play using wired mics for the rest of the performance. Celebrity veterans of the iO program who return to play include Mike Myers, Tim Meadows, Amy Poehler, Ike Barinholtz, and many more. The opening to the Harold piece performed is conducted by the most veteran iO house team "The Reckoning."
2006 - iO begins a joint venture with ComedyWorx of Raleigh, NC to create the third iO training center, named iO South.
2014 - After almost 20 years in Chicago's Wrigleyville neighborhood, Charna Halpern bought a building in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood and moved the iO Theater to its new home at 1501 N. Kingsbury St.

Palladia: Palladium Anti-Cancer Drug for Dogs
I thought this was kind of interesting. No, I don't think this will increase demand for palladium coins or palladium bullion, but it's interesting nonetheless.
The FDA, on June 3, 2009 has approved Palladia, an anti-cancer drug--for dogs! The palladium-based product is expected to treat tumors or skin cancer in dogs. Tests are reported to be 60% successful in removing tumors.
The product is apparently formed form a combination of palladium, various B vitamins, lipoic acid, and other substances.
Here's a Youtube video showing how this palladium-formed product can help save your pet.

Vh1 Analysis - December 2010
* Bold denotes programming change
VH1 continues to concentrate on home-grown series, often built around Reality "stars" from earlier series (e.g. DAISY OF LOVE featuring a former ROCK OF LOVE contestant.) VH1's primetime lineup is very fluid in nature, leading to a lot of "Various" programs on their schedule grid.
VH1 will occasionally stack night of programming and air episodes of the same show back-to-back-to-back. This can prove extremely successful for them, especially when they use these mini-marathons to premiere the latest episodes of a successful original series. Episodes of new series tend to receive multiple Prime plays during the week each episode premieres. This fluid approach to scheduling, however can take its toll on viewer loyalty, as the lack of a discernible schedule on many nights seems to have harmed viewership in the last year.
Music-oriented fare continues to make its presence felt on VH1, with survey-oriented specials (100 GREATEST...) joining occasional new episodes of the venerable BEHIND THE MUSIC series, along with concert specials and documentaries. Urban-appeal theatrical films, many with strong musical components, are also delivering above-average ratings to the Network
Live Primetime Ratings Comparison / November 2010 vs. November 2009 (% Change)
Monday 8-11pm
Tuesday 8-11pm
Wednesday 8-11pm
Thursday 8-11pm
Friday 8-11pm
Saturday 8-11pm

VH1's stretch of year-to-year losses is showing signs of a turnaround, as December 2010's HH and A18-49 Ratings were down by only modest double-digits, compared to those from the same month last year. December's delivery was up sharply from last month, further evidence of the network's potential return from a year-long decline.
A comparison of the average ratings for the top four series from December 2009 to this month's average shows only a 16% drop in HH rating from last year, compared to the 60% drop noted last month.
Despite the slowing of this stretch of year-to-year losses, December's numbers give evidence of the continued ageing of VH1 as the Prime Median Age jumped 15% compared to last year, continuing a seven-month streak of double-digit increases in Median Age since June 2010.
December continued the return to a relatively stable schedule, with five consistently scheduled time periods. This is a notable shift from the freewheeling scheduling practices of recent months where the same series was rarely scheduled in the same time period for an entire survey.
Monday suffered the only significant losses of the month, as none of 2010's series could come close to the drawing power that BRANDY & RAY J and I WANT TO WORK FOR DIDDY exhibited in December 2009. 9pm MY BIG FRIGGIN' WEDDING was the weak sister on this night, unable to hold its lead-in and under-delivering its lead-out. Despite this, the night was up slightly over November in both HH and demos.
Tuesday night as a whole was essentially flat compared to last year for HH and demos, and grew sharply over last month in HH and demos, drawn principally by the movies 8 MILE, BABY BOY and FREEDOM WRITERS.
Wednesday's highlight was the performance of fresh CELBRITY REHAB 4 episodes at 10pm , which nearly doubled the monthly average HH rating, leading to the strongest year-to year growth for the month. Demo delivery essentially double from last month.
The block of hour-long episodes of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE that settled in on Thursday in November seem to be paling in appeal, as this night showed the poorest performance compared to last month, albeit only down slightly.
Friday grew by virtually 1/3 compared to December 2009's P18-49 ratings, and nearly doubled the demo delivery from last month. A one-night block of sister network MTV's JERSEY SHORE and another run of the movie 8 MILE were highlights.
Another run of JERSEY SHORE and a couple of CELEBRITY REHAB 4 couldn't offset a the poor ratings for a block of the off-HBO series ENTOURAGE, leaving Saturday modestly down with last year and essentially flat with last month.
Fresh episodes of BASKETBALL WIVES, FOOTBALL WIVES, and BRANDY & RAY J 2 rotated in a variety of patterns on Sunday nights, leading to a slight drop from last year's numbers, but more than doubling November's demo delivery.
VH1 has been extremely successful in the creation of an entirely new genre of programming. Coining the phrase Celebreality, Vh1 has created several hit shows revolving around celebrities, past and present, and their "real" lives.
So now, the task at hand is to determine how they can expand beyond what's expected - and reach out to an even broader audience. It's great to have programs that are celebrity-based, but anything that has amazing characters, tells a good story, and does it in a compelling way, is going to interest the net. Recently, VH1 has expanded into the original M.O.W. realm, with their first original feature being produced by Queen Latifah's production company, Favor Unit. Flavor Unit is also producing VH1's first scripted drama, based on the same characters as the M.O.W.
VH1's Celebreality hits have received a lot of attention and ratings success in the past. The network, however, continues to expand upon their brand to bring unique documentaries and interesting pop culture and music-related series to air.
VH1 has said that they are actively looking for documentaries in their ROCK DOC block. They are looking for "intimate stories," "iconic characters" (namely 60s and 70s icons), and intelligent documentaries that aren't afraid to take chances. Think "big stories" told through a "small narrative," too.
In addition, they're looking to expand beyond just Celebreality. TOOL ACADEMY and THE PICK-UP ARTIST were fairly big successes for the network and they're looking for the next version of those series.

The Future – Looking Bright
What makes Thompson Electric, Thompson Electric? Is it our offices, vehicles, equipment or inventory? No, it's our employees, they're the life blood of Thompson Electric. Without our employees, Thompson Electric wouldn't exist.
One of the biggest challenges today is finding young people to come into our industry to begin the replacement process for our retiring employees. This past week, Thompson Electric of Sioux Falls had the opportunity to participate in the job fair at Mitchell Technical Institute (MTI) in Mitchell, SD. Mike Anderson, Project Manager and Kent Grange, Director of Business Development attended the job fair with a goal of hiring 6 students for summer intern positions and/or hire second year students (graduates of the electrical program) for permanent employment.
This was the first year Thompson Electric had attended the MTI job fair and we were hoping to at least hire a couple of students. The interest in Thompson Electric was overwhelming, for nearly two hours, the length of the job fair, Mike and Kent were in continuous conversation with students about Thompson Electric and why they were interested in our industry. We met with a lot of terrific students, between 40 and 50 and filled our goal of hiring 6 new employees and probably could have hired 20 or more. We were very impressed with MTI and the quality of students they have in their electrical program.
Thompson Electric has been participating in the Western Iowa Tech job fair in Sioux City for many years, but this is the start of Thompson Electric actively participating in many other Technical Schools job fairs. We have stepped up our marketing efforts for these job fairs, by creating a new booth design, new presentations and offering new opportunities to young people.
If the Mitchell Technical Institute's job fair is any indication for the upcoming job fairs, then the future for Thompson Electric is looking bright.

A divorcing couple recently asked an arbitrator to answer a difficult question: what happens when a husband wins the lottery while going through a divorce with his wife?
Are your digital assets prepared for divorce?
Digital assets are a part of our everyday life. These assets can range from social media sites to online banking accounts. Whether the account provides a fairly innocuous financial benefit or is a sizable asset, it is important to account for our digital belongings when navigating a divorce.
Divorce terms may be revisited if hidden assets surface
Most anyone in the high-income bracket isn't there because they are lucky. They tend to know what it takes to maximize revenue potential and minimize financial liabilities. In some cases, this might mean following strategies to hide assets from public view.
Finances and divorce: Watch out for these 3 issues
Division of assets during divorce can result in contention. This portion of the split involves a careful review of all assets and debts. The divorcing couple must take every marital asset into consideration or else find themselves dealing with surprises after the divorce is finalized. These issues can be mitigated by knowing some common issues.
Tips for splitting a business during divorce
Business owners must tread carefully when it comes to the division of assets during divorce. It is very likely that some or all the business assets qualify as marital property. As such, the business could be subject to division.
Where to look for hidden assets before property distribution
When high net worth couples in Michigan decide to file for a divorce, one spouse may go to great lengths to conceal some assets. This is often done because one spouse feels specific assets belong to him or her, and should not form part of the property distribution process. In some cases, secret financial activities, bank accounts and investments were concealed throughout the marriage. In any divorce, both spouses have the right to a fair settlement.
Property distribution: Options re business interests in divorce
Many individuals place a great deal of time and effort into making their business into a successful enterprise. When facing divorce, business owners may have concerns about how the process of property distribution might impact the future of the company. Owners may wish to take steps to protect their business interests, and they may benefit from speaking with an attorney in Michigan for guidance in the process.
Property distribution: Avoiding unnecessary tax penalties
Dissolving a marriage can be a highly emotional and challenging process, regardless of the age of those involved. However, for individuals in Michigan who have accumulated substantial amounts in retirement accounts, there may be additional factors to consider before entering negotiations for property distribution. Taking the time to gain an understanding of how retirement assets are divided could help a person avoid potentially devastating tax penalties.
Property distribution: Unraveling the financial ties of marriage
Throughout the course of marriage, the financial standings of a couple in Michigan and elsewhere may become intertwined. In the event of a divorce, untangling finances can often be a complex process. For those who are facing a similar situation, considering every crucial factor of property distribution before entering the process might prove beneficial in preparing for the road ahead.
Identifying ownership of assets prior to property distribution
For a couple who possess a considerable amount of property and assets, divorce can be a complex process. With so much at stake during this period, crucial areas such as property distribution are often highly contestable topics. In equitable distribution states, like Michigan, the division of assets must be fair, but does not necessarily have to be equal. With this in mind, an individual might find it beneficial to have awareness of all marital property before proceeding.

"Art after Stonewall"
April 21 - July 21
Event Navigation
Art after Stonewall, timed with the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, is the first major exhibition to examine the impact of the LGBTQ civil-rights movement on the art world. Much has been written on the impact of the LGBTQ movement on American society and yet almost 50 years after Stonewall, key artists and their works of art are little known. This exhibition, which includes over 150 works of art and related materials, focuses on the work of openly LGBTQ artists like Nan Goldin, Holly Hughes, Robert Mapplethorpe, Tim Miller, Catherine Opie, and Andy Warhol, and considers as well the practices of such artists as Vito Acconci, Diane Arbus, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Lynda Benglis and Karen Finley in terms of their engagement with a newly emerging queer subculture.
Key themes surveyed through Art after Stonewall include Coming Out, Sexual Outlaws, The Uses of the Erotic, Gender and Body, Things are Queer, AIDS and Activism, and We're Here and this expansive exhibition will be on view at both the Leslie-Lohman Museum and at NYU Grey Art Gallery. Organizers of this exhibition include the Columbus Museum of Art in conjunction with the following curator Jonathan Weinberg, Ph.D., artist and independent art historian, Tyler Cann, Curator of Contemporary Art, and Drew Sawyer, Phillip Leonian and Edith Rosenbaum Leonian Curator, Photography, Brooklyn Museum of Art.

A little delayed but some photos of when we cleaned Triskaideka a couple of weeks ago, whilst she still looked shiny!
We have numerous Waterways World and Canal Boat magazines from about 2008 - 2010, if anyone would like them let us know, we could take them to Crick for collection at the Boat show. We found them really useful when we were planning Triskaideka. We will be on the boat for the duration of the show which should be good fun and for a change we will be able to enjoy the evening entertainment over the weekend.
We have numerous bird feeders around our garden, but Ali moved one right infront of the lounge window when John was immobile, we have often seen the Greater Spotted Woodpecker around but have been amazed the last few days that it has decided that our feeding station right by the window is a good source of easy food. The picture quality isn't great as they are taken through the window.
