For the benefit and welfare of our pupils, staff and visitors, we have had CCTV cameras installed within the school grounds. This decision was made due to several attempted burglaries that have occurred in the last twelve months.
Although nothing substantial was stolen, the damage caused by the thieves to school property incurred considerable repair costs. The schools CCTV policy is on the school website for anyone that would like to read it.
A big thank you to everyone who has responded to our request for items for the various stalls and tombolas. These items are being collected and sorted but we still need more! Please have a look round at home and send in anything that may be suitable for the following:
Jar Bar – A wonderful tradition, filled jars with goodies for the children
Toy Tombola – Clean unbroken toys, complete games and jigsaws
Tombola – Unwanted gifts, toiletries, jewellery
Also thank you to those people who have volunteered to be helpers on the day of the Carnival, however we are still short of people to help with the actual running of the stalls. If anyone can help for an hour it would be very much appreciated. Please indicate on the slip what time would best suit you and return it to the school office.
Sports Activity Days
There will be two sports activity days in school next week. These will enable the children to try some sports that we are not normally able to provide including a safe form of archery, cycle training for group riding and racing and dance (street dance for the older children). We recommend that all children have their water bottle with them and KS2 children might like to bring a piece of fruit to eat as a snack.
Children will not need anything other than their normal PE kit – navy shorts, coloured t-shirt, trainers and socks. PE socks could be thicker navy socks under trainers or thin white socks for summer. Many girls who wear tights forget to bring socks with them. Tights under shorts are not suitable for PE – girls should wear leggings/jogging bottoms and socks if they do not want bare legs.
Navy jogging bottoms/leggings and a navy fleece/sweatshirt/hoody/tracksuit are school uniform if the weather is cold. In the event of hot and sunny weather, please send your child with a hat. KS2 will be going outside whatever the weather and if it rains they will get wet. If your child has an appropriate waterproof jacket for sports activities it would be helpful if they had it in their bag.
Please do check the weather forecast and send your child with the right clothing. We only have a few spare items for cases of emergency!

Who We Are
Hunting is an ancient tradition passed down from the earliest times of man to the present day. Hunters participate directly in the natural world and care enough to make sure that it continues in all of its awesome beauty and diversity.
Safari Club International is a U.S.-based organization of more than 50,000 hunters dedicated to protecting the right to hunt and to promote wildlife conservation worldwide. Between SCI and its sister organization, the SCI Foundation, we have put more than $70 Million on the ground for conservation since 2000. In the U.S. and abroad, hunters are part of a system that keeps the rivers, forests and fields intact and maintains the wildlife.
Fighting for Hunting
Hunting is under constant attack by anti-hunters who introduce legislation and use the courts to stop hunting. SCI employs staff, contractors and volunteers in a team effort to fight for hunting. SCI operates in the U.S. Congress, in the state legislatures and wildlife commissions, in Canada, in the European Union and elsewhere internationally.Learn More

Everybody's Irish on St. Patrick's Day
1.2 ☘ ... the perfect excuse for an extra Guinness.
|Europe Travel Guide
|Facts & Trivia
|Eupedia Top > Eupedia Forum & Japan Forum
One is celebrated on March 17th and the other on March 19th.
The only thing I like about St. Patrick's Day is the food. In terms of "street" holidays I dislike it only a little less than Mardi Gras. When I worked in midtown I wouldn't even go out for lunch if it fell on a weekday. There's a limit to how many people wandering around, weaving, falling down, cursing, fighting, and vomiting I can look at. No one ever vomited on one of my expensive Italian shoes during St. Patrick's Day, in contrast to Mardi Gras, which is why it scores a little higher.
Yes, I like corned beef and cabbage, as a main meal and later in a sandwhich with a nice mustard and some rye bread. :) The only time I like rye bread, btw. Going to the home of my husband's best friend later on. They celebrate it in honor of his Irish wife.
I've heard the "real" Irish version is somewhat different, but I don't know if that's correct.
Also really like Irish soda bread, at least the sweet kind. Picked some up yesterday. Of course, I've never met a sweet bread I didn't like.
In my area it's mostly a Sicilian-American thing celebrated with nice desserts, usually zeppole and nice pastries a bit like profiteroles.
When the zeppole (deep fried dough balls dusted with powdered sugar) aren't over fried and too heavy, they're quite addictive:
In Italy, this is also Father's Day, so they go all out, especially in Campania, even though the meal needs to be meatless because it falls in Lent.
Yes, they eat zeppole and various pastries and cakes, but numerous other dishes in various courses, almost always, or so I'm told, including pasta e ceci, fried fish, vegetables and particularly fava beans.
This is an example of what they call a "Tavola di San Giuseppe" or the table of St. Joseph.
"At the centre of the feast is 'St Joseph's Table', upon which this mountain of food will be arranged. Nothing is placed on the table by chance; every item embodies some emblematic association or auspicious end. Bread takes centre stage, as the most perfect expression of man's toils transformed into sustenance, and recalling as well the ancient Roman grain festivals once observed at the end of winter. Sweets, particularly fried and cream-filled pastries, mean a temporary reprieve from fasting and abstinence during Lent. Flowers, asparagus, wild fennel and fava beans laid around the table speak to springtime's imminent return, while lemons, oranges and wine represent the fruit of the preceding season's labours. Fish-based dishes symbolise Christ, and there is usually no meat present on the table."
It actually is more like an altar from which the people take food. At the end the remainder is given to the guests, neighbors or the poor.
This seems to me a remnant of very ancient feasting celebrations, both in the Neolithic and with the Indo-Europeans.
In the Lunigiana there are bonfires (we do love bonfires), and sometimes pageants, but I don't remember this kind of extravagance. Also, our fritelle are made of sweetened rice and egg and milk mixture, sort of the same recipe as our sweet rice pie, but fried.
St. Joseph is the patron saint of La Spezia so there is a fair every year, which is fun if you like fairs. It's a nice time to visit our area. With all our southern Italian and now Middle Eastern and African migrants, you can get any food under the sun, but Lent is forgotten, and porchetta is probably the favorite food. :)

Everybody's Irish on St. Patrick's Day
1.2 ☘ ... the perfect excuse for an extra Guinness.
Happy Father's Day
Father's Day is a celebration or tribute dedicated to parents. It pays tribute to fatherhood and the influence of man in the lives of his children.
During the celebration of Father's Day it is customary to give gifts and perform activities together, such as eating as a family.
It should be noted that the typical recipes of Father's Day revolve, above all, around the sweet. Perhaps the only exception is the tortillitas de San José, a typical Andalusian dish, consisting of hard bread, eggs and garlic and that originally served to take advantage of the bread of the previous days in that way, to follow the maxim of traditional gastronomy and hard times and crisis where everything serves to make a delicacy.
Buñuelos de San José: Deep fried hollow dough that is then steeped in sugar, perhaps the most widespread elaboration in our country for this date. To find the origin of this post there are several versions. Some people think that the buñuelos come from the word "puñuelo", a kind of ball that the Romans kneaded with their fists, others think that the word comes from the French "beignet". Although it is also said to be a dessert of Arab tradition. The Arabs who lived in Granada drank honey water fritters, a dough that was fried in oil and then bathed in boiling honey and from which there are recipes in books from the s. XVI.
Catalan Cream: Typical dessert in San José in Catalonia, although it varies a lot depending on the region, but which is always based on a pastry cream, egg yolk and a crunchy surface with burnt sugar. Its origin is found in a convent of nuns with a curious history. The nuns received the visit of a bishop and, to entertain him, they prepared the custard that came out so well. It turns out that the flan did not set correctly and the nuns decided to mix it with cornstarch and then put it in the oven. Then they served it to the bishop as a soft porridge and with the caramel, toasted by the heat, above. Needless to say, the bishop loved it.
Txirloras de San José: Typical sweet from the area of Vizcaya and Navarra where they are known as "chips". They are similar to the cigarettes of Tolosa. It is a kind of tea cake, its shape evokes that of a wood chip in homage to the profession of San José and the Aitas (parents in Basque). How ingredients have butter, icing sugar, flour and egg faces. In some places they bathe in chocolate.
Rosquillas de San José: Its origin goes back to the ancient Roman Empire, a time when its recipe spread to a large part of Europe and the Mediterranean basin. Also known as dormant donuts, they are prepared with egg, flour, yeast and anise, then fry them. Then sugar is sprinkled and they are usually eaten at lunch or at breakfast. In Iscar, lumber town of Valladolid, they are called "Ciegas de Iscar" are a delight that must be tried if or if.
Paparajote: The quintessential sweet of the Murcian garden for the day of San José and for the Spring Festival. Of Arab origin as well as the tenderloin, it counts as ingredients that make them unique, the lemon leaf. If you want to know more about this delicious dessert do not miss the post I wrote a few days ago in this blog.
In my area our doughnuts are flavored with lemon, but I love anise and that sounds even better.
Such a coincidence that you mention that custard dish. A youtube cook whom I follow recently put up a segment on making a Portuguese version. I have to be honest and say it looked very labor intensive and baking is not my first love, so I never planned to make it. Sounds delicious, though. (I don't think the lemon, vanilla and cinnamon are traditional)
I prefer those that are already invented.
Oh. My. God.
This is fantastic. But my stomack hates me now... I'm staaaaarving!

Here's a fun combination to ponder: The world's most powerful media company and America's most popular sport. That could happen if Google buys the rights to the NFL's Sunday Ticket package, the all-you-can-eat subscription-TV service currently owned by DirecTV. As I've noted before, the DirecTV deal ends at the end of the 2014 NFL season, which would mean it would make sense for the league to start talking to potential bidders now. And it is. Today, according to sources, Google CEO Larry Page, along with YouTube content boss Robert Kyncl, met with a delegation from the NFL led by commissioner Roger Goodell. And the Sunday Ticket package was among the topics of discussion, according to people familiar with the meeting. A Google rep declined to comment, and I'm still waiting to hear back from an NFL rep.

I wanted a product which combined caring and styling effects, and which could be used after shampo...

Hi Everyone! We have officially committed to driving to Orlando this year (from NJ). In the past we've done Amazon Now and Garden Grocer to have food delivered but now have some flexibility and wanted to know which Grocery store the drivers have gone to. I found the closest Publix to Yacht Club but I also get the feeling there might be a proximity premium. Any preferences or better priced places out there?
Many thanks

Sand imported from the Bahamas. An indoor Olympic-size pool. Now all these developers need is a buyer. Betting the house on a multimillion-dollar spec home.A group of wealthy art collectors and philanthropists dined on risotto and listened to chamber music at a 10-bedroom estate on a private island off Florida's Biscayne Bay last month. The mansion isn't owned by a Russian oligarch or a certain NBA player who recently moved to town. It was built purely on speculation by developers in search of a buyer….Its asking price: $60 million
Despite the current housing slump, a small but growing group of developers and investors is building multimillion-dollar mega-mansions for wealthy potential buyers who've never seen them. Three years into the housing bust, at a time when home values are hitting new lows in many markets, a small group of developers has plunged into the risky business of betting millions on high-end speculative homes. They are erecting amenity-rich mansions for wealthy buyers that they hope will materialize. While the vast majority of the "spec" market remains moribund, some developers, pointing to a handful of big sales and the recent recovery of the stock market, believe the world's wealthiest buyers are out again shopping for trophy mansions, often as second, third or fourth homes.

[[Page 521]] <DOC> [Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents] [frwais.access.gpo.gov] [Page 521] Monday, April 10, 1995 Volume 31--Number 14 Pages 521-576 Week Ending Friday, April 7, 1995 Remarks at the Closing Session of the Southern Regional Economic Conference in Atlanta, Georgia March 29, 1995 Let me close by once again thanking Emory University and its leadership for letting us be here, and thank all of you for giving us a day of your lives, which I will say again, I hope you think it has been well spent. I have been deeply moved by the stories I have heard. I have actually quite a lot more specific and clear sense than I did when the day started about the similarities and the differences of the southern economy as compared with the rest of the country and the differences within the States which are still not insignificant. I have a clearer idea of what all of you think, based on your personal experience, is the appropriate role of the Federal Government. And again, I will say it strikes me as not on the extreme that there is a Government solution for most problems or the extreme that it would be better if the Government went away and wasn't around anymore, but at somewhere not in the middle but way beyond that, much more sophisticated. And I leave this meeting feeling more hopeful, as I always do when I get a chance to talk to the American people, but certainly to be here in a kind of a homecoming setting for me; there's a lot of you I've worked with for more than 10 years. But I would say this, in view of what both Bill Winter and what Billy Payne said. You know, all of us have a scale inside us, I think, that's sort of a psychological scale about the way we look at the world, and some days, there seems to be a little more weight on the positive, hopeful side of the scale, and someday, somebody takes some of the weight off and it kind of gets off on the other edge. And we all battle it within ourselves, within our families, within our communities, within our work organizations, and one thing I said this morning I want you to remember: We cannot go on where we have a disconnect between our public conversation which is so often oriented towards what divides us and how to get us to resent one another, and our public behavior, that is, the things we do together, which is what works, is what Billy said, is when we play by the rules, we work hard, we try to bring out the best in everybody, and we recognize we don't have a person to waste. The South learned that lesson, I think, better than any other part of the country because of the horrible price we paid for our past. And I think that's why the economy is growing more rapidly than any other part of the country, why Atlanta is the perfect place to host the Olympics, and why we have a chance to see this region lead our country into a very bright 21st century. But we've got a lot of work to do, and I feel today that all of us, and I know the President, at least, has more energy for the task ahead and a better idea about how to approach them, thanks to you. I thank you very much. Note: The President spoke at approximately 5 p.m. in the Cannon Chapel Building at Emory University. In his remarks, he referred to William Porter ``Billy'' Payne, chief executive officer, Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games, and William F. Winter, Chair, Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations. This item was not received in time for publication in the appropriate issue. <DOC> [Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents] [frwais.access.gpo.gov] [Page 521-522] Monday, April 10, 1995 Volume 31--Number 14 Pages 521-576 Week Ending Friday, April 7, 1995 Remarks on the Major League Baseball Strike and an Exchange With Reporters in Tampa, Florida March 30, 1995 The President. Since I'm here in Florida, it might be appropriate to say something about the baseball situation. The judge is going to hand down a ruling, apparently, [[Page 522]] pretty soon. And I would just say, if the injunction stays and the players do again state their willingness to go back to work, then I hope they won't be locked out. I think it gives us a chance at least to start the baseball season in a good way and without the replacement players. Ultimately, of course, they're still going to have to work this out, and they're going to have to do it by some mutual agreement. But we may be given an opportunity in the next couple of days to have a baseball season. And if that opportunity arises, and the players are willing to go back, then I hope the owners won't lock them out. Guatemala Q. [Inaudible]--CIA covered up the murder in Guatemala? The President. Well, we have no information to that effect. We are looking into all the allegations. And I have taken exceptional steps to make sure that there is a good investigation and to make sure that the records are secure. I think I should do that. As you know, this relates to events that occurred before I became President. But we need to know the facts, and we're going to do everything we can to find out the facts. Haiti Q. Is there any evidence that--any evidence that Aristide's people were behind the assassination? The President. President Aristide immediately asked for help to investigate the action. Indeed, the people who were down there were working before to try to head off any political violence leading up to the handover this weekend. And as soon as the killing occurred, he asked for help, and we had dispatched immediately a substantial team from the FBI. So I think that is significant evidence that he wants to get to the bottom of this and that he's keeping his word not to support political violence. There are many factions there. They've done a good job of keeping down political violence. They don't need to start it again. What they need to do is to keep things calm, maintain a low crime rate, continue to work with the United Nations, and rebuild that country. We only have, I think, 6,000 of the 35,000 factory workers who were working before the military coup back working. So we need to keep working on building the country. And that's what I'm going to say when I go down there. Thank you. Note: The President spoke at approximately 3 p.m. at Tampa Bay International Airport. In his remarks, he referred to Jean-Bertrand Aristide, President of Haiti. This item was not received in time for publication in the appropriate issue. <DOC> [Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents] [frwais.access.gpo.gov] [Page 522-523]

Mazda North America Takes Small April Sales Loss as Sedan Sales Plummet, Crossovers Rise
Mazda has lately been concentrating on its crossovers (including designing a new one for Japan called the CX-8), and based on its North American sales in April, it was probably a good idea, because strongly rising crossover sales met sharply falling car sales coming the other way for a small overall sales loss.
Specifically, Mazda North America sold a total of 24,164 vehicles, a decrease of 7.8% compared to last April (although adjusted for the one fewer sales day in 2017, the daily sales rate is down only 4.2%).
Year-to-date sales are up, however, with 93,235 vehicles sold so far this year, an increase of 2.6% over last year.
The larger crossovers saw some of their best months yet—the CX-5, which went into a new generation last month, led sales with its best April of all time with 11,334 sold, a year-over-year increase of 28.4%. The three-row CX-9 had its best April since 2011, racking up 2,134 sales. Oddly, the compact CX-3 saw a sales decrease of 23.7% over last year, but the total sales of the brand's three crossovers were up by a whopping 40.5% year-over-year, selling a total of 14,615 vehicles.
Mazda's two car options, the compact Mazda3 and the full-size Mazda6, saw sales plummet compared to last April, with the Mazda3 dropping from 10,722 sales last year to 5,980 this year—a decrease of 44.2%. The Mazda6 barely fared better, with only 2,249 sales compared to last April's 3,929 sales—a decrease of 42.8%
The MX-5 Miata, with both cloth-top and hardtop forms, did just fine in April, posting strong sales of 1,319 units sold, a year-over-year increase of 21.5%.
Mazda Motor de Mexico posted April sales of 3,830 vehicles, an increase of 5% year-over-year.

MAS to debut blockchain-based trade network with HK in 2019
SINGAPORE is laying the groundwork to stay on top as a trading hub, with the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) on Tuesday setting an early-2019 deadline for the roll-out of a global trade connectivity network (GTCN) with its Hong Kong counterpart.
This open-architecture platform, which aims to bring about the seamless transfer of digital documents and data across borders, is the result of a fintech agreement inked with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) ahead of the opening of the second Singapore Fintech Festival. It promises to iron out structural problems in the trillion-dollar trade-finance space.
Speaking to participants at the festival, MAS managing director Ravi Menon noted that globally, the financial industry is facing slower economic growth, tighter regulation and keener competition. "It needs to foster innovation and transform itself," he said.
This means "harnessing technology to increase efficiency, manage risks better, create new opportunities and improve people's lives".
"If Singapore is to maintain its position as one of the top financial centres in the world, it must embrace fintech - maximising its benefits, minimising its risks," he said.
Noting the inefficiencies in trade finance and the heightened risks of fraud due to the paper-based nature of the business, he said that the solution to these problems might lie in blockchain technology.
This uses a distributed ledger - shared among financial institutions and regulators - to digitise trade-finance documents and bring about significant savings for the industry and corporates.
"Blockchain technology offers good promise to make trade finance safer and more efficient," said Mr Menon.
He said that the GTCN will start with the Singapore-Hong Kong trade corridor.
The Business Times understands that MAS is open to exploring similar partnerships with China as well.
Meanwhile, Singapore is tidying up the tedium behind trade-finance documents processing, which is done mainly locally.
The National Trade Platform (NTP), unveiled in the 2016 Budget, was meant to replace existing trade systems and help small and medium enterprises (SMEs) trim costs and streamline processes tied to trade.
BT understands that the NTP programme office is gathering proposals for a trade-finance application portal, intended to offer trade-finance options from multiple banks in Singapore; it is also calling for ideas to streamline trade-finance compliance processes.
The goal is to offer a service for companies to easily compare and apply for trade finance and to unify banks' current screening processes for trade financing. Data can also be crowd-sourced to offer better insights on trade flows and to identify pockets of fraud risks.
According to estimates provided during Budget 2016, the NTP is expected to produce more than S$600 million in man-hour savings each year.
BT understands that insurance giant Prudential will soon work with a major telco company to create a blockchain-powered digital marketplace in Singapore, to offer tens of thousands of SMEs with end-to-end services, beginning with matching buyers and sellers to securing alternative trade financing and insurance services. The one-stop portal could make it easy for SMEs to get loans for business expansion and tap bigger opportunities in the Asean market.
Apart from Hong Kong, the MAS is also collaborating with the Bank of Canada to link both their payment systems, which test the use of distributed-ledger technology for cross-border payments.
Mr Menon said blockchain may be able to deal with the banes of cross-border transactions, such as their high cost to customers and slow settlement.

HVLP stands for high-volume, low-pressure. This is a concept in the spray gun world, and this is the method that will give you better, more consistent coverage than conventional spray guns. It also provides minimal messy overspray.
Now, as anyone in the world of air pressure knows, a spray gun's performance is only as good as its source of air. The inks, paints and artist or sprayer combine into one Zen-like existence, where the constant flow of air at a maintained and controlled rate is necessary to provide the toll and the sprayer with the base for creating a good surface coating or work of art.
Now, imagine that not all compressors are built for spray painting. Spray painting requires a continuous draw and not a spurt of power. This means that the air compressor must not work in spurts, the initial burst of air has to be constant over time, and not a large spurt followed by a reduction in strength, sort of like waves on the sea. As such, the atomizer in an HVLP has to be connected to a reliably dedicated air compressor.
This article brings you the top five best air compressors for HVLP and considers their cost, maintenance and smoothness of performance to reach this esteemed list.

The Air Compressors for HVLP Reviews & Buyer's Guide:
1. California Air Tools 10020C Ultra Quiet Oil-Free and Powerful Air Compressor, 2 hp
The California Air Tools 10020C is a 2HP unit that is both ultra quiet and oil free. This model works at 70dB only.
When it comes to silence, the 10020C is exceptional, since it actually works in allow frequency range, and the highest noise level you get is 70 dB. Combine this with the 2HP motor that operates at 1680 RPM, and you have a very silent but powerful product.
Silence and power are great, but you also get an increased duty cycle that delivers longer continuous run times, and this is supported by the oil-free dual-piston pump system making for clean and durable performance. This oil-free environment means you get over 3,000 hours of work, which is 6 times that of conventional compressors. Another benefit of the oil-free system s that it starts in the cold starts immediately, and since it doesn't have an oil pump, you can place it on any terrain in any weather condition.
There is an easy-start valve that releases a small amount of air from the pump at startup. This creates a no-load condition and reduced amp that enables the motor to spin freely with less power load.
The unit comes with a large 10-gallon steel air tank, this provides exceptional mobility, and the entire spectrum delivers 6.40 CFM @ 40 PSI, and 5.30 CFM @ 90 PSI. The low amp draw only reaches 14 amps and the time to fill the tank from empty to full is around 2 minutes (120 seconds). The recovery time from 9 PSI to the maximum 125 PSI is only 25 seconds. The unit weighs 82.5 lbs. So its solid and sturdy as well as mobile.
- 70dB sound level
- Oil-Free Pump
- Less maintenance and Costs.
- Two pressure control gauges
- Two universal 1/4″ quick connector

3. DeWalt DXCMLA1983012 30-Gallon Oil Free Direct Drive Air Compressor
The DEWALT 30-gallon compressor is a 1.9HP cast iron, twin cylinder, oil lubricated pump that provides a maximum (blow off) pressure of 175 PSI.
DeWalt is a leader in equipment devices for industry, and this includes bespoke air compressors. This is their 30-gallon model that delivers 5.7 CFM @ 90 PSI. Its maximum PSI is 155, and it will blow out when it reaches 175 PSI.
What you get is a durable, 1-piece cast iron crankcase with an aluminum head and valve plate that is used to dissipate heat. The stainless reed valves and automotive-style ball bearings combine to provide excellent performance and long-life reliability, and there is a 12" flywheel made of cast iron for safety.
This beast weighs in at 190 Lbs but is totally portable on its large industrial rubber wheels and has a convenient on and off switch making it perfect for effortless applications.

- Pneumatic tires are already attached for maximum portability
- Convenient Controls
- Visible quick-set regulator, tank, & output gauges
- On/Off switch saves wear & tear on your power cord

This is a tank horse, which is better than a workhorse. It's solid, tough, resilient and dependable It is also built for long jobs that require constant pressure for hours at a time. It is priced exceptionally well for its performance and delivers one of the best value for money ratios on the market.
4. Husky 30 Gal. 175 PSI High-Performance Quiet Portable Electric Air Compressor
The Husky is a relatively small "large" 30-gallon compressor that delivers a maximum pressure of 175 PSI.
Husky is a Home Depot brand, which means its got some serious back to it, with the Home Depot customer service supporting you all the way.
This compressor delivers 6.8 SCFM @ 40 PSI, and 5.1 SCFM @ 90 PSI, and when combined with its 30-gallon container you get some impressive performed standards being delivered for longer work hours requirements.
The noise level is set at 78dB which is decent and not too loud. The 150 Lbs. the unit is supported with 9: rubber wheels, so while it is rugged and solid, it is also very mobile.
This is an oil free model, so you eliminate the need for oil and oil filter changes, which reduces maintenance costs and downtime considerably.
- 175 max PSI in a 30 Gal. tank for 40% longer tool run time
- Quiet operation of 78 dBA
- High flow regulator
- 9 in. wheels for portability
- 30 Gal. ASME certified tank
- Vertical design has a smaller footprint
This is an exceptional model but priced in the high range, which is unusual since it's a Home Depot brand. Having stated this, the Husky is a great brand and will deliver the goods, but the cost is, in my opinion, a barrier.
5. Earlex HV5500 Spray Station, 650 Watt, 13′ Hose
The Eralex HV5500 is a spray station, so you get both the compressor with the spray gun in one kit. This is a conveniently designed space-saving package for DIY applications more than full-time professional requirements.
If you are seeking a very convenient and portable spray station unit for home applications, then this is the model you should consider. To be honest, this is a low-price budget model for beginners and contractors that are called in for maintenance spray work.
What you get here are three spray patterns; two for flat surfaces, and one for detailed work like spindles and rough surfaces. The fan comes with an adjustable width from 1" all the ay up to 12", and the pattern switch is a fast push and clicks operation.
The spray gun comes with a one-quart Teflon coated container, and the design of the body is such that it cannot tip over without extreme prejudice, it also comes with a convenient carry handle. The whole unity only weighs 11.9 Lbs.
The compressor is a 650W 42 CFM @ 2.2 PSI model, and you get a 13′ paint hose and 5-1/2′ power cord for extra mobility. This model comes with a 2.0mm (0.08″) stainless steel tip and needle.
- Turbine motor

- 13-foot air hose
- 5.5-foot power cord
- Sprays from 1″ – 12″ wide fan pattern
- Fitted with variable output control
- Optional needle sets
- Fast "Push N Click" 3 spray pattern changing system
- On board gun, hose and cord storage
If you are a beginner, or a contractor with a need for a quick fix unit, or just a home DOY enthusiast, this extremely budget-friendly model will provide you with the basics. I wouldn't use this for more than surface coatings, it's not designed for fine needlework, but it is an exceptional tool for the price you pay.
Paint Sprayer Buying Guide
Consider this; you don't need a lot of PSI for performance painting. 10PSI is more than enough for most jobs. What you need to concentrate on are the cubic feet per minute [CFM], a higher CFM means that your compressor can meet the demands and provide a constant flow of air.
So, the first rule of engagement when buying an HVLP compressor, CFM rules. The higher the CFM, the better workflow, and performance you will receive.
As such, when comparing products, look at the CFM @ PSI to Cost and Energy Consumption ratio to get the actual cost value.
Consider also the overall usage capacity. Are you in need of a workhorse? If so, you need a dedicated compressor unit with a high capacity tank separate from the spray head, and buy spray heads to meet specific applications. If you are not in the spray paint business, and only use it for home or partial contractual jobs, such as landscape gardening fixes, then a bespoke package is perhaps your best investment.

A knee jerk reaction
September 22, 2011
My mother was a very strong woman. Still is. She will have her way. And if it is not to be by the force of her personality than she will use manipulation. As a young man I seemed to use all my power to lose myself of her influence. I loved her dearly. But I could not survive in the same house. So I left. As soon as I could. I met other strong willed women. Some were just princesses who wanted their way. Others were extremely interesting, very attractive. But they were in charge in their life. And they weren't giving it up to any man. Not that I ever asked. I just knew I had to get away. My wife says that I'm negative. My first response is always no to everything that is suggested. That's true. But its a knee jerk reaction. The need to have time to think things over.
Tom Payne. One of the dullest of God's creatures. Eyed the grocery cart. In the ailse. For several seconds. He looked around. Abandoned. Orphaned. Left out. In a world cruel to wheeled creations. Tom Payne looked around. No one. In the neighbourhood. Tom stepped up to the cart. Empty. He dropped his purchases. Several boxes of tissue. On sale. A box of laundry detergent. Band-aids. For those blisters on his tongue. He placed his hands on the handle of the cart. Smiled. And began to move down the aisle to complete his purchases.
"Not so fast!" From behind him. Like the apocalypse.
Tom looked behind. An attractive woman dressed for an occasion more formal than shopping began to approach him. Mary Newton. The bank manager's wife. She was walking like she meant business.
"You took my cart."
Tom looked surprised. The roughness of her voice seemed out of sync with her appearance. Shapely. Blond hair that cascaded. Aka Lauren Bacal. Shoulders more gentle would have had to be pinched. To see if they were real. But whre was the smoky lilting voice. Instead he got harsh guttural sounds. Hitler on his best day. Promoting a new hair rinse. Tom swallowed deeply.
"I did not." Squeak. Like a mouse. Tom Payne was a shard. Of the mirror he should have been.
"You did!" She insisted. Her voice seemed to have gained force. The closer she got to Tom. By the time she reached the cart, Tom was totally cowered.
Tom lowered his eyes. His shoulders seemed to cave in at the neck. He'd never been very strong with woman. His own mother continued to brow beat him when he visited her in the senior's home, even though she was close to 90, half blind in one eye, hard of hearing, with arthritis in 3 of her 4 limbs, and constantly reaching for a respirator.
Tom Payne stuttered.
"I thought it was abandoned."
"It wasn't."
"It was empty." Tom began to make his case. "And there was no one around. And I waited. And you seemed to come out of. Nowhere."
"You waited!" Mary Newton leaned over to one side. A smirk attacked the left side of her face. Placing one hand on her hip, she nodded.
"How long?" she added. Waiting for a measurement. Undeniable proof.
Tom thought for a moment.
"A couple of minutes."
"A couple of minutes?"
"Well," Tom hesitated. He knew that all was lost. "Maybe not a couple of minutes. But it was at least a minute."
"Sixty seconds?" Mary closed her eyes. Her head shook dismissively.
"Well, it's hard to tell. There was no one around."
"Forty," Tom shouted. "It was at least forty seconds."
"Forty seconds isn't long enough." Mary stepped up to the cart and put her hands on the handle. "Now get your rubbish out of my cart. Or…"
"Or what," Tom finally had the courage to ask.
Mary Newton turned to Tom and looked him straight in the eyes.
"You don't want to find out!" she said.
Tom released his hold on the cart. Defeated. He gathered his things and made his way down the aisle not daring to peek behind him. When he made the turn into the next aisle, he heard the howl of Mrs. Newton's laughter behind him.

#StoptheCuomoTax and join the fight to protect ratepayers and the future of renewables in New York State!
Governor Cuomo wants to increase our electric bills to bail out old, unprofitable nuclear power plants. The tax will cost hard working New Yorkers nearly $8 billion dollars. Our money will go to plant owner Exelon, a Chicago-based Fortune 100 company with annual revenues over $34 billion.
The Governor says it's about preserving jobs and fighting climate change, but we know better. New York's energy future lies with energy efficiency, smarter grids, solar and wind. These approaches cost less, provide more jobs, and result in healthier communities.
Nuclear energy is costly, dangerous and bad for our health and environment. By joining California in phasing out nuclear power, New York can help lead the nation into a 21st century renewable energy future.
New Yorkers deserve better. Join us, and stop the Cuomo tax.

Starting with this issue, in response to many requests, I'm going monthly. I hope. While Fish Rap will be coming more often, there will be less in each issue. Some quarterly features will alternate, appearing every three months. The idea is more frequent contact, easier to read. Feedback is always welcome.
FISH EGGS: Scrub Jay
Experiments with collage on acrylic paintings recur from time to time. These days I'm thinking about collage as I collaborate with Jackie Braun and Joan Marler on a 2014 collage show. Our theme is inspired by Susa Silvermarie's poem, "1000 Years of Healing." Raw acrylic, paper, pastel, thread & other materials intrigue me as I seek to invoke reverence for nature & spirit,. Playing with them takes me to the edge of control. Since I don't know exactly what I'm doing, mystery can speak.

California State University campuses will no longer require incoming freshmen to take placement tests in English and math or enroll in noncredit remedial courses, reports the Los Angeles Times.
The change, to take effect fall 2018, is part of a trend away from noncredit remedial courses, which critics say frustrate students and lead many to drop out. This is one case in which California isn't leading the nation. Tennessee, among other states, have already taken steps to get rid of traditional remedial courses while creating other ways to support students who aren't ready for college-level work.
In 2010, as part of Tennessee's Complete College Tennessee Act, remedial and developmental education was to be provided only by community colleges and not universities as of July 2012. Then, in 2015, community colleges eliminated traditional remediation in favor of "co-requisite remediation," which allows students to enroll in introductory math and English classes while receiving support services, including counseling, computer lab help and special supplementary classes. By allowing students to start acquiring college credit right away, schools hope to keep them in school and boost graduation rates.
Traditional remedial classes offered in the past cost the same as others but didn't allow students to start working toward a degree. Such classes send a devastating message to new college students, especially if they're the first in their family to pursue a degree, Tristan Denley, then the vice president of academic affairs for the Tennessee Board of Regents, told PBS Newshour in 2015.
"Many of those students, deep down, might not have been sure they were college material themselves, before you know it it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy," he said.
Around the time of the transition in 2015, more than 70 percent of Tennessee students entering two-year colleges needed remediation, according to the Board of Regents. The percentage breakdown was: 90.9 percent African American, 76.2 percent Hispanic, 65.5 percent White and 72.5 percent Other. Nearly 81 percent were low-income.
But not everyone has been pleased with the way the overhaul has been carried out in Tennessee and other states.
The National Education Association teachers union published an opinion piece in 2014 titled "Another Lousy 'Reform' Idea: Replacing Remedial Education." The writer criticized rushing into a new trend that too often is at the behest of state lawmakers without thoughtful input from educators on the front lines.

Album Title: Silver Pony
By: Cassandra Wilson
Label: Blue Note Records
Released: 2010
Silver Pony draws its title from an experience which Cassandra Wilson had as a child and which left an indelible mark in her memory bank, and thus on her career itself. A man came around my neighborhood in Jackson, Mississippi, with a pony and camera, she recalls. You could pay to get your picture taken. Her brothers declined, but Cassandra was eager. Her mother hesitated-there were certain things young ladies just didn't do, Wilson adds. But Cassandra seized the moment, got the picture. I'm so happy she let me ride the pony, she says now. I was fearless, and I guess she wanted to encourage that in me. That priceless photo is now featured on the cover of Silver Pony, and such fearlessness now fuels Wilson's work. I prepare for each recording but you can never truly prepare, Wilson says. Because you don't really know what's coming. You just place yourself in the circumstances that will allow the project to reveal itself.
Silver Pony was produced by Cassandra Wilson and John Fischbach (owner of Piety Street Recording Studios) and features Cassandra on vocals and synthesizer, Marvin Sewell on electric guitar, Jonathan Batiste on piano, Reginald Veal on electric bass, Herlin Riley on drums, and Lekan Babalola on percussion. Ravi Coltrane adds saxophone on Silver Moon and Watch The Sunrise features both vocals and piano by John Legend.
Cassandra Wilson: vocals, synthesizer; Jonathan Batiste: piano; Marvin Sewell: electric guitar; Reginald Veal: electric bass; Herlin Riley: drums; Lekan Babalola: percussion.

PCK student in running for top recipe
Aromas of sautéed garlic, mushrooms and freshly picked parsley from SAIT's culinary garden fill every corner of the kitchen. Professional culinary student Cassandra Simmonds is cooking her soon-to-be famous creamy mushroom capellini.
Her recipe for this delicious concoction has been voted into the top three of the Knorr Stock Exchange recipe contest. The top three contending recipes will be judged by chefs Marco Pierre White and Jérôme Ferrer.
The creator of the winning recipe will spend a day in London, England with White, who mentored chef Gordon Ramsay.
Simmonds' desire to win moved beyond culinary genius by creating an aggressive campaign to win. With help from her mentors at SAIT and her mom's aid in creating a Facebook page, she easily surpassed the other competitors by jumping ahead by dozens of votes every day.
"I asked for a little bit of help and they went above and beyond," said Simmonds.
It's obvious from the way she works that Simmonds is more comfortable in front of boiling pots and sizzling pans, and wielding knives capable of cutting through sequoias than she is sitting in front of a computer snagging votes. She cuts, dices, slices, sears and mixes with ease.
Whether it's by adding salt and pepper or tweaking recipes, Simmonds is always trying to perfect flavour in her creations.
"I like being able to taste something and know what to put in there to make it taste better," said Simmonds.
At 15, her inspiration came while working at a café attached to a pub. She would sneak over every once in a while to watch the cooks work. "They let me in the kitchen and I just never left."
