The Treaty Centre presides over Hounslow like a red-bricked monolith – only the vaguely modernist Holy Trinity Church can compete. The Chariot, The Noble Half and The South Western are our pubs of choice, although if we've just missed the H37 we'll stop off for a swift bourbon & coke (easy on the coke) in the Duke of Cambridge on Kingsley Road while we wait for another. The high street has recently been – and only partially – pedestrianised. In spite of this, people continuously get in your way, careering out of Boots without due care or attention. Maybe that's why we seem to spend so much time in The Noble Half, The Chariot and South Western.
The Chariot (aka 'The Bobby') is what's been termed a 'flat-roofed pub'. It is not necessarily a description to be taken literally. The appellation is supposed to convey the building's age, interior decor and its clientele (post-war, brightly lit and pared back, hard drinking). The Chariot does have a flat roof but only if you take into account the office space in between. Like the Treaty Centre, it has a red bricked facade. Inside, there are fake plants, faux Roman busts, large mirrors, paintings of Piccadilly Circus on rain sodden nights, and an actual red telephone box. The people it attracts are a strange mix: students, leather clad rockers, and an assortment of downtrodden locals. The jukebox contains Hot Rocks 1964-1971 by the Rolling Stones. Despite the lighting being a bit on the bright side, it is a wonderful place to drink.
The Noble Half is also flat roofed but its interior is smaller, darker, cosier. Tuesday night is student night, and the many students who reside locally, in shabby semi-detached domiciles with archaic furnishings and neglected gardens, will turn up and take full advantage of the cheap booze. People we know have organised the event and called it 'Lyfe'. I don't know why they chose this name or elected to spell it that way.
The South Western on Whitton Road is a more traditional drinking establishment; prodigious fenestrations flanked by faded velvet drapery, the carpet is well worn. Students don't tend to rent around these parts and it pays to be a little more discreet. We mainly go there to play pool and put money in the jukebox: more Rolling Stones (Jagger warming up in the wings), and the Small Faces too.
Carrington Avenue is a road in a residential area of Hounslow rife with avenues (Argyle, Park, Murray, Grasmere). It lies south of the train line that runs diagonally through Hounslow's south-eastern corner, as close to Whitton high street than to Hounslow town centre. The feeling is of being on the periphery of something, separate from it.
The South Western, Hounslow
I was supposed to be moving in with a fellow from Cornwall, the lad who lent me The Sound of the Suburbs, and the guy with the indie tapes. I'm not really sure how it happened but the guy with tapes backed out after the rest of us found a house and 'offered' him the smallest room. We advertised for someone to fill the void and ended up taking in a first-year student from Brighton, who was our age but had taken a year out to make movies.
The house itself was a bit of a dive, very typical of student accommodation in the Hounslow area: a semi-detached 3 bedroom dwelling with an interior that looked like it hadn't been decorated since the early 1970s. We had to move the dining room table to the lounge to free up the dining room to be used as a fourth bedroom, which was taken by my Cornish friend. I took upstairs-front, 'Sound of the Suburbs' took upstairs-back and the bloke from Brighton the box room adjacent to that. The rent on the whole house was about £700 a month.
Britpop was now recognised as a distinct movement, but the residents of 23 Carrington Avenue perceived it only as a vaguely entertaining sideshow. I'd sooner listen to Smashing Pumpkins or The Wedding Present than the likes of Cast or Shed 7. I hadn't been sure about Smashing Pumpkins when the guy with the indie tapes played them for me a year ago. I visited the friend who had furnished me with indie music during my A-levels years, now studying in Portsmouth, and, despite not connecting with them emotionally, was converted. Again, indie tapes guy had the Wedding Present's George Best, but I hadn't really noticed. The jukebox down the student union introduced me to Brassneck, and so I borrowed the album Bizarro from a Scottish bloke who resembled the 'control freak' from an advert for the Volvo 850 T-5. The Wedding Present's guitars are fast, repetitive, and David Gedge's vocal style is droll, almost deadpan. Both these bands could be described as voluminous, in that guitars – loud guitars – are integral to their sound. Britpop tends not to paint broadly with guitars. Oasis are the exception, and in this respect they're maybe not really a Britpop band at all. If there is a signature Britpop sound – and you'll struggle to identify one – then it's the stabbing, staccato guitars of punk and new wave.
This not to say we were completely disinterested in what was going on. When a chap I'd got to know towards the end of my first year (who would later introduce me to Sarah Records) informed us that he was going to see Blur at Alexandra Palace, the residents of Carrington Avenue expressed interest. The chap who later introduced me to Sarah Records went on ahead with his associate from Ealing, whilst the rest of us – save our Cornish friend who wasn't up for it – went about the business of trying to find tickets. The situation initially looked rather precarious but we were given hope when a tout told us not to, "go home just yet." We retreated to a pub, played some pool, put on The Jam to get us in the mood, returned about an hour later and managed to buy three tickets at pretty much face value. We missed Corduroy and Supergrass but did arrive in time to see Pulp. For any Blur fans out there, here's the set-list:
Lot 105 / Sunday Sunday / Jubilee / Tracy Jacks / Magic America / End of A Century / Popscene / Trouble in the Message Centre / She's So High / For Tomorrow / Chemical World / Badhead / There's No Other Way / To The End / Advert – 1st Encore: Supa Shoppa / Mr. Robinson's Quango / Parklife (with Phil Daniels) – 2nd Encore: Girls & Boys / Bank Holiday / This Is a Low.
We were especially pleased when they played She's So High, which was a favourite at the 'can nights' of Carrington Avenue where we listened to Blur's album Leisure more often than we did Parklife. Can nights started off as a precursor to Friday evenings at the student union but might often happen before a Saturday night at The Chariot, or just randomly in the middle of the week. As the name suggests, they involved buying four cans of cheap lager or bitter – in my case, Castlemaine XXXX – and then sitting around in someone's room – usually mine – and listening to records, often at great volume.
Can't remember who picked up a copy of The Jam greatest hits compilation Snap! but I recall taping what of it I could onto the B-side of my Rolling Stones compendium.
According to lead singer Louise Wener's T-shirt, Sleeper were just 'another female fronted band'. She had a point – there was Elastica, Salad, Echobelly, and more on the way – but if Wener was trying to utilise irony to suggest Sleeper offered anything different, she was wide of the mark. Inbetweener is a jolly enough single though, as is the B-side, Little Annie.
His 'n' Hers had been out since April but I'd invested more time listening to Intro – The Gift Recordings, released the previous October. I eventually bonded with His 'n' Hers on a National Express coach back to London for the start of a new term. The coach dropped me off at Heathrow Airport, whereupon I took the tube to Hounslow Central to be greeted by the smell of kebabs and a pint(s) in the Bulstrode with the chap who was to introduce me to Sarah Records, the songs Joyriders, Lipgloss, Have You Seen Her Lately? and Pink Glove among my new favourites.
The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion are chaotic, exultant – punk meets blues. I taped the album Orange off of the guy with the indie tapes. I liked it so much I later bought it on vinyl. The record did well. Despite Britpop, there was still an interest in things like this, in Beck or Pavement or Sonic Youth, even if it wasn't what was getting the mainstream airplay.
Britpop's fashion sense was confused: a diffuse spread of influences ranging from '60s mod to '70s punk to '80s casual; desert boots, Ben Sherman button-down shirts, roll neck sweaters, Chelsea boots, anything by Fred Perry, Harrington Jackets, anoraks, wide collared shirts in man-made fabrics, flares, Adidas tracksuit tops, old-school trainers. It should be appreciated that wearing this sort of gear could still bid trouble. Having your hair layered, over the ears but not as far as your collar, invited derision. You were neither 'townie' nor 'metaller' and were therefore an object of suspicion. We didn't let it bother us, and tunes like Itchycoo Park and Lazy Sunday by the Small Faces and Jumpin' Jack Flash and Wild Horses by the Rolling Stones provided a backdrop to many a Mean Streets moment playing pool in the back room of The South Western, in amongst the locals.
The influence of punk and new wave, although diminished since that new wave of new wave thing imagined by the music press earlier in the year, was still evident. As well as The Jam – propelled to the fore by Paul Weller's status as 'The Modfather' – groups like The Clash and The Undertones would find their way onto any respectable indie DJ's set list. Teenage Kicks was ready to go courtesy of The Sound of the Suburbs, and I found The Clash's first album in a charity shop, probably whilst shopping for second-hand Fred Perry polo shirts and Adidas tracksuit tops in Plymouth.
The chap who introduced me to Sarah Records came around with a stack of records he thought I might like: Storyteller by Razorcuts, Stardust by The Sea Urchins, Loaded by the Velvet Underground, Forever Changes by Love, Singles Going Steady by Buzzcocks, a couple of Field Mice albums and EPs, and a few Sarah Records compilations. The Sarah Records' records made a firm impression. Formed in Bristol in 1987, the record label was resolutely anti-fashion, anti-London music scene, anti-macho rock, and anti a lot of things I didn't really understand. This political sensibility was married to a very British sort of aesthetic. But if Britpop fixated on, say, The Italian Job, Get Carter, Blow Up and Quadrophenia as its cinematic archetypes, then Sarah Records channelled more the spirit of Kes, Billy Liar, Annie Hall, or something by Jean-Luc Godard.
In any case, the Sarah Records' band I took to with zeal was probably the band least representative of that particular scene: The Sea Urchins. In Sam Knee's excellent indie-fashion retrospective A Scene In Between, he describes The Sea Urchins as veering off, "in a more militant pop-art mod fashion direction." Think Jeff Beck in the Yardbirds. The Roberts brothers' vocals were terribly nasal, but if you can embrace that then they're really worth checking out. (After The Sea Urchins split up they reformed as Delta, exhibiting a bluesier and slightly folkier sort of sound.)
The Razorcuts could have very easily been a Sarah Records act but were instead signed to Creation. I put their album, Storyteller, onto the other side of the cassette I recorded The Sea Urchins' Stardust, a tape I would often listen to on the two mile walk into college, along Whitton Dene and past Twickenham Ruby Stadium.
Loaded was Velvet Underground's last 'proper' LP (Squeeze was a contractual obligation written and recorded by Doug Yule featuring none of the original group members). Having wasted the opportunity to get to know the band during my first year, I wasn't well versed in Velvet Underground mythology and so took the record at face value. It's probably the band's most accessible work, and the reason why the chap who introduced me to Sarah Records had hold of it: the idea of him grooving away to the noise-rock of something like Sister Ray, or even Venus in Furs, is barely conceivable.
If 23 Carrington Avenue had a soundtrack then it would be Love's third album, 1967's Forever Changes. I'd never heard of it before but was quickly won over by its string arrangements, Tijuana horns, Flamenco guitar, and the charms of frontman Arthur Lee. The chap who introduced us to it – who would often join us for our alcoholic ritual – was quite taken aback by our enthusiasm and returned to his record collection to bring us Da Capo, Love's earlier work, which was received almost as willingly. Taste is subjective, to an extent, but I never hesitate to recommend Forever Changes to anyone with the slightest interest in '60s rock music, and I have even been thanked for doing so.
I wonder if I'd seen Supergrass supporting Pulp supporting Blur at Alexandra Palace I would have liked them more. I didn't have anything against Supergrass per se, but their whole shtick seemed a little silly. Perhaps at almost 20, I was too old? Nevertheless, She's So Loose is a very, very good tune, and so lip service is paid.
Orbital and Portishead were a portent of things to come: the acceptability – nay, the expectancy – of absorbing genres that beforehand had been perceived as tribally distinct. I came across Dummy by Portishead on the same trip to Portsmouth that had me re-evaluating the Smashing Pumpkins. The hype surrounding the record had yet to transpire, and I didn't see it coming, but I ended up copying the copy I took back with me to London for a number of friends. The Orbital album was recorded off of my brother in the summer before I left for university but proved less popular amongst my inner circle. Such eclecticism reflected the limitations of Britpop. I'd even taken to digging out a few of my older pre-indie records, much to the delight of our cohabitant from Brighton, who fell for Cucaraca Macara by the Harvey Averne Barrio Band in a big way.
Which leads to the missing pieces of this aural jigsaw: techno, acid, and trance. This sort of music came 'ready mixed', be it via the DJ Tsuyoshi cassette somebody copied for me or the tape exploring similar themes compiled by my brother, who was bang into this sort of stuff. It couldn't very well be assimilated into my other, more identifiable, auditory explorations and so stood alone, to be listened to on my Walkman.
This, along with hard house, was the music that would play at any student house party worth its salt. The idea of a load of kids jumping around in someone's living to an Oasis record appals me. Fortunately such abominations never came to pass. Carrington's classics were confined to my bedroom mostly, or my headphones, or around the house of the guy who continued to amass tapes.
By the time we moved out, there were eleven bottles of whiskey lined up on the mantelpiece, and we owed a couple of months' rent – taking into account the deposits we'd already surrendered in lieu. It should go without saying that the place was a mess. A few days after the May Ball, my Cornish friend passed out in Debenhams and was taken to hospital concussed, requiring stitches. The cohabitant from Brighton had abandoned university altogether.
It had been a strange and tumultuous year. The summer would usher in the farce that was Blur vs. Oasis. It is amazing how quickly Britpop revealed itself for the asinine nonsense that for the most part comprised it, and so I got back into the Beastie Boys and continued to harvest my brother's record collection for more satisfying sonic alternatives.

2 Problems That Homeowners with Hot Water Storage Tanks Will Most Likely Face
Posted on: 19 July 2017Share
A water heater system comprises many different components that work together to ensure that people in residential buildings get hot water supply. One of the most critical components of a water heater system is the water storage tank. As its name implies, this tank is used to store hot water. Water storage tanks are usually large and can hold several litres of hot water. The external part of the tank is normally very well-insulated to keep the water hot between heating cycles. Water goes into the water heater system from the top of the tank via the dip tube, and then routes down the bottom of the tank where it gets heated. The hot water exits the tank through an outgoing hot water pipe sometimes known as the heat-out pipe.
Hot water system problems that can be traced to the water storage tanks are not uncommon. Here are some potential issues that homeowners should be on the lookout for.
Most water heater tanks are made of steel. Even though a protective lining or coating is often applied onto the interiors of the steel tanks and sacrificial anodes placed inside the tanks, rust and corrosion of the tanks is a given because higher water temperatures tend to speed up the rate at which the metal is deteriorated. Over time, the protective coating will wear down and the anode rods will corrode themselves, leaving the tank unprotected from the risk of corrosion.
Vent pipes can also be a cause of corrosion. Vent pipes are the pipes that run from the water heating appliance to the exteriors of a home. When these pipes (usually made of brass or copper) come into contact with the surface of the steel tank surface, the tank will become susceptible to corrosion and rust development.
Excessive corrosion in water heater tanks is usually an indication that it's time to replace a water heater.
Leaking of water from water heater tanks is quite common, especially around the drain valve, which is located at the bottom of the tank. The drain valve is designed to help remove the buildup (sediment) that settles at the bottom of the tank over time, but it can also result in loss of hot water from the storage tank when it's loose or faulty.
Loose or faulty drain valves should be repaired immediately to prevent precious hot water from pooling under the tank.
Homeowners should raise any concerns they may have about maintenance and repair of their hot water tanks and systems with a qualified plumber. For more information, contact companies like Peninsula Plumbing S.A.

As you know, I'm just learning to use a sewing machine, so when I saw a 'beginner's patchwork bag' workshop, I thought it would be perfect for me to gain some experience. I must admit, when I saw the picture of the bag we were going to make in 6 hours, I did start to worry, but reassured myself that the class was for beginners. Of course, what I didn't twig until I got there, was that it was a class for beginners to patchwork, rather than beginner sewers and that the other 3 ladies on the workshop had years of sewing experience - oops! I worked almost non stop for 7 hours (we were able to stay until we had all finished) and apart from the frequent "can you please help me?" I didn't utter a word, because I didn't have time! Anyway, with the endless help and patience of Sue, the tutor, I went home with a finished, fully lined bag, which I am immensely proud of!

You know those types of actresses who seem to come around in the business every once in a blue moon, those women who possess impeccable comedic timing which is reminiscent of fabulous cinema stars from the golden age of Hollywood? Well, if you didn't already know, we're here to tell you that Rachel Brosnahan is one of those iconic, talented actresses.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, a tale of a woman who discovers her true self through stand-up comedy during the '50s, called for a lead actress to translate Midge Maisel's ability to laugh in the face of adversity - that's where Rachel came in. But that's definitely not where she stops. Great things are in store for her.
Here are 20 things to know about the fabulous actress.
20 She Keeps Her Awards In An Odd Place
Bathrooms can serve as a sacred oasis which can allow plenty of time for private contemplation, or at least for Rachel Brosnahan, it's a place to remind yourself of your greatest achievements!
Rachel has had some memorable achievements already thanks to her role in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, which has won her an Emmy and two Golden Globes, and she told Jimmy Fallon she keeps the awards in her bathroom, as Vulture reports.
You may wonder what could possibly lead Rachel to store her awards in such an odd location, but her answer is actually very practical: enough storage space is crucial!
19 She And Her Hubby Share Hobbies
There's nothing like the "thing" within a relationship which bonds a couple together, and it also helps if your "thing" happens to be a cultural phenomenon. In the Summer of 2016, an interactive game launched which changed the landscape of video games: Pokemon Go.
As pop culture fads go, Pokemon Go's staying power dwindled a bit, but there's one actress keeping it alive: Rachel Brosnahan!
As if Rachel's love for Pokemon Go couldn't be any more enduring, she told Jimmy Fallon her husband plays it on the red carpet, as Mashable reports.
18 Rachel Loves Snacking
We love a celeb who truly presents her authentic self! In Hollywood, it's a little difficult to find an actress who openly talks about her love of snack food. Rachel Brosnahan frequently champions the idea of living your best life alongside your favourite snack food!
She spoke to Glamour about her love of a classic burger and fries combo with ketchup thrown in for good measure. What could be a tastier combination?
17 Not Everyone Laughs At Rachel
With Rachel's sharp wit and her charismatic presence on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, it's stunning to think it's taken so long for her talent to be recognized! When we're in the process of following our dreams, it's important to remember success in Hollywood takes time to unfold, and Rachel's success story with The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is proof that the perfect opportunity comes with patience.
Rachel detailed the process of rejection within the business in an interview with Glamour. She described the reality of being cast, saying, "we're told 'no' almost every day." Thankfully the world eventually said "yes" to her!
16 She's Related To A Legend In Handbags
It's extra special when creative talent is hereditary and transcends different artistic mediums. For Rachel, the family line stretches from comedy all the way to clothing. Rachel's aunt was top designer Kate Spade.
You might recognise Kate's designs by their bright but still minimalist prints on handbags and other high-end accessories. She tragically passed away last year but her niece is on hand to preserve her legacy is a wonderfully sweet way.
Rachel is going to be the new face of the spring campaign for Kate Spade's label, Frances Valentine, as People reports.
15 Rachel Enjoys A Night-In Instead Of Going Out
When you're part of the entertainment world, there are endless opportunities to attend lavish parties, but if you're Rachel Brosnahan, the nightlife scene doesn't contribute anything to your life.
Us Weekly focused on Rachel for their series on the most relatable facts about the most elite members of Hollywood, and Rachel was said to love a good old-fashioned game night from the comfort of her own home. We can totally relate!
14 Her Private Life Is Super-Personal
It's almost impossible to conceal your relationship when you're in the spotlight. Rachel's relationship with her now-husband Jason Ralph has been kept under the radar to a pretty high extent. If their marriage is news to you, don't feel bad - the couple kept their nuptials super-private.
"We've been married for years and been together for even longer," Rachel said during the SAG Awards, as Pop Sugar reports.
13 She's No Stranger To Television
If Rachel Brosnahan's face seems familiar to you, chances are you've seen her in the background of your Netflix-and-chill session. Rachel's been in the company of Robin Wright and Kevin Spacey.
She was on House Of Cards for three seasons, until her character met her demise. But Rachel said it was hard to keep mum about what was going to happen on the show, telling Marie Claire she's terrible at keeping secrets.
12 Rachel Thinks Puppies Are Perfect
When it comes to a companion, who's better to share your life with than a cute puppy? Rachel is a member of the "pup club" and she's always down for an opportunity to document her life as a dog mom for IG!
As Men's Journal reports, Rachel opened up about how she believes she's a crazy dog lady. She said,
"I was in Vancouver and going on vacation for a week, and I didn't want to board [my dogs] because Nikki is a rescue and she's a little bit nervous. I spent five days driving them all the way to Dallas to stay with family. My best friend came along, and we turned it into a big old doggie road trip."
11 New York Is No Longer 'New' For Her
Rachel Brosnahan believes in the wonders of New York City, as well as in the endless possibilities the city provides. Like many of us, Rachel is fascinated with some aspects only the "City that never sleeps" can bring. One of them is how it embraces being real and unique. She told Rolling Stone the story of her experience of living in New York, saying,
"In New York, you go to the grocery store however ... you can get there, whatever you look like, wherever the line is shortest. In L.A., the grocery store was a runway. People are done up to go to the grocery store."
10 Her Husband Makes Clever Costume Choices
Having a supportive partner can make life so much easier and more fun, especially when the two of you can easily goof around together.
For Rachel and her husband, the two of them are obviously able to laugh together, as illustrated by Jason's Halloween costume last year. As Page Six reports, he paid tribute to the character his wife has brought to life and into the spotlight, the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel!
9 Her Exercise Routine Is Interesting
Rachel Brosnahan turned some heads in her school hallway for sure. She loved to wrestle! When talking about the sport, she told InStyle Magazine, "It was so much about being present in the moment.
Listening carefully and responding appropriately. Which, I think, has helped me in every single aspect of this art and this business. "
8 Rachel's Crazy For Caffeine
If you're familiar with The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel even in the slightest, you're aware the writers are the same ones who brought you a groundbreaking television show which gave you a coffee craving you can't cure. Yup, we're talking about Gilmore Girls! Rachel Brosnahan could've easily fit in with the townies of Stars Hollow, and she's showing some Gilmore similarities with her love of coffee.
As the LA Times reports, Rachel drinks "vats of coffee" to help her memorize lines from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel's script.
7 Her Audition For Mrs. Maisel Wasn't So Marvelous
There's nothing worse than the common cold. It always seems to strike at the most inconvenient times. For Rachel, a cold struck her shortly before one of the biggest events of her life: her Mrs. Maisel audition!
Rachel detailed her audition experience in an interview with Harper's Bazaar, saying,
"I rallied, but I honestly was so sick during the camera test—I was so sweaty Amy [executive producer] kept stopping me because I had to powder my face, I was blowing my nose, I took my shoes off at some point… at best, that test was a beautiful disaster! But Midge is kind of a disaster sometimes."
6 She's Been On Broadway
Watching how Rachel portrays Midge Maisel on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, it seems she carries her character with the poise of a vintage Hollywood actress. She also seems to have experience in the theatre. If you've picked up these vibes from Rachel, it's good to know she has indeed been on Broadway. Rachel's Broadway experience is extensive. In her pre-Maisel days, she starred in a production of The Big Knife in 2013.
"I'm the youngest member of the cast by quite a lot, so it's been a lot of listening and observing," she told Broadway about her experience.
5 Rachel Can Throw A Party
In an early episode of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Midge is faced with the task of hosting a last-minute dinner party, and the party turns out to be a flop! Luckily for Rachel herself, the act of throwing a party is a much smoother experience.
She told House Beautiful that she loves getting creative with materials that are right in front of her. As she said, "I've since learned anything can be a chair if you wish it hard enough!"
4 Her Go-To Films Are Documentaries
Rachel has certainly done her fair share of documentary searching during a Netflix-and-chill session. The actress spoke to Us Weekly and revealed she was once very interested in "watching documentaries about medical mysteries."
She continued to say that she "considered becoming a surgeon" due to her love of these shows.
3 She Loves To Turn A Page
When Rachel isn't spending time in the 1950s world ruled by Midge Maisel, she enjoys letting her mind go to faraway places. Rachel absolutely loves books, referring to herself as an "incessant reader," as Variety reports.
In the interview, she goes on to say that books such as Harry Potter and those penned by Roald Dahl were her favourites when she was younger.
2 She's Got Stage Fright
When you've made the decision to go out and become an actress, you present such a huge part of yourself to an audience for endless public consumption. It's no wonder Rachel has stage fright. She told The Last Magazine,
"I still have really terrible stage fright, but I love it." No matter how scared she feels, she certainly doesn't let it get the best of her, adding that it's similar to what comedians go through. No matter how badly they fear the stage, they keep feeling pulled to it.
1 Rachel's Scene Is 'Behind The Scenes'
Rachel's credits in front of the camera are extensive for someone who is 28 years old! After starring on hit shows, Rachel has expressed setting her sights away from the spotlight.
In an interview with Variety, Rachel said she'd love to direct or produce in future, adding,
"I hope that there'll be more opportunities to work with more women as we continue the conversation about the need for more women to be represented in different parts of this industry, whether in front of or behind the camera."

By Helen — One of many Diabetes blogs on SmartLivingNetwork.com
Type II diabetes is on the rise. According to scientific studies, the number one reason type II diabetes is on the rise correlates completely with an unhealthy diet. So, could the cure to type II diabetes be as easy as eating better? According to the British Medical Journal (BMJ), as simple as that sounds, it actually may be true when it comes to reversing type II diabetes without the use of drugs. According to recent report by BMJ, the good foods that are showing such great promise happen to be green leafy vegetables. Interestingly, when tests subjects increased the consumption of regular vegetables, fruits, or fruits and vegetables together the results were not as good as with just leafy greens. This surprise finding leads one to wonder what nutrients leafy green vegetables may have that the other vegetables and fruits might be lacking.
Dark green leafy greens are filled with good antioxidants, flavinoids, nutrients, and vitamins, including manganese and vitamin K. And since both manganese and vitamin K are nutrients that are often ignored by physicians the world over, this is the perfect starting point. Manganese is an essential trace mineral noted for the formation of healthy red blood cells and pituitary gland function, and is considered to be brain and nerve food. Not surprisingly, manganese helps maintain normal range of blood glucose levels, and is important in the proper absorption of vitamins C, B, and E. Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin, which means it is stored in the fat and used as needed. While vitamin K is found in a variety of foods and is also produced by bacteria found in the gastrointestinal tract lining, we often do eat enough of the correct foods to keep vitamin K at optimum levels. Dark leafy greens have both high vitamin K and manganese content. Since manganese has been shown to regulate blood sugar levels, among other things, it's a mineral not to be ignored. Manganese can be found in arugula, broccoli, endive, dandelion greens, kale, mustard greens, and Swiss chard.
Kale is high in protein and low in fat. On the nutritional scale kale is one of the top producers, offering a whopping portion of manganese and vitamin K, which makes it a superfood that should be found in every salad or at least on every dinner table once in a while. When eaten steamed, its fibers are able to easily bind with bile acids in the digestive tract, which enables the body to dump the bile acids more efficiently, and thereby lower cholesterol at the same time. Kale is filled with a good portion of cancer fighting sulforaphane compounds such asisothiocyanates (ITCs), which are made from glucosinolates and are essential in helping to lower the risk of five different cancers. One cup of kale provides approximately 17 percent of the daily value of manganese. At this point in time, scientists aren't sure if it's vitamin K or manganese or something else entirely that is helping regulate blood glucose and assisting in the reversal of type II diabetes. But it is green leafy vegetables that are getting the pat on the back for now, and we already know that green leafy vegetables, calorie for calorie, are the most nutritionally sound foods. So what are we waiting for? Let's all have a green salad for lunch!

Northern Lights Express
The Northern Lights Express project is a proposed 151-mile, high-speed rail corridor from the Twin Cities to Duluth. The project must comply with Section 106 and NEPA because it received federal funding from the Federal Railroad Administration.
Our work included contributing to the determination of an area of potential effect; completing an inventory and evaluation of historic resources; and assisting with consultation with federal and state agencies. We also assisted the Minnesota Department of Transportation in preparing a Programmatic Agreement.
For this first high-speed rail project in Minnesota and Wisconsin our work informed the planning process and facilitated compliance with federal and state cultural resources regulations to move the project forward in a timely manner.

Good afternoon friends! I am running a little late today but that's whats so great about weekends! I love being able to sleep in and not having to worry about waking up to a loud ass alarm clock to get Jackson to school on time. However, I woke up today to a kid free house which scared me to death. I called Scott asap and asked him where is my son?? He said..." Oh don't worry, he went to Davids about 10:30. WHAT!? I wasn't too happy that he left this morning and he did leave a note but that sure didn't make me feel much better. I tried calling him...the phone was dead so I got in the car 5 minutes after I was out of the bed. I found Mr. Jackson, and had a nice little talk about not leaving before I get up and to ALWAYS ALWAYS take his phone which should always be charged and back out he went. I didn't flip out because I had talked to Scott but it could have been a very crazy day if I hadn't found him. I am so not use to waking up and him not being here. I am just glad I set eyes on him, talk to him and know that he is ok. Little boys make a lot of dumb decisions...and I really worry about him.
So its a cold wet day out....and I don't plan on doing much today.. Maybe some baking...but I am not feeling that good so I plan on hanging out on the couch for a while. My stomach is hurting and until it feels better, I am going to sit right here, enjoy my CNN, and work online. I do feel blessed to be able to make my own schedule most days. I should go to the post office later today but I jufe321st might have Scott take me tomorrow. So far, he is having a slow day at the dealership too.. However, I am sure when its time for him to come home....the customers will show up making him work late. I hate it but its just part of the car business.
I hope you guys are enjoying your day even if the weather isn't so nice!
I'll be back in a bit with yesterdays's vlog!

Levi Johnston apparently married his girlfriend Sunny Oglesby on Oct. 28, 2012, in Wasilla, Alaska, according to published reports. The couple, who have been together for a "year and a quarter," said "I do" in front of more than 100 of their closest friends and family, reported "Us Weekly."
Officiated by Johnston's friend Crosby Marrow, the couple's nuptials took a lighthearted turn when the groom fumbled his vows and elicited chuckles from guests in attendance.
"To have and to hold, whatever you say," Inside Edition reports Johnston as saying. Clad in a Hugo Boss red label tuxedo accessorized with a camouflage vest and bow tie, Johnston is said to have sweated profusely during the event.
"Congrats to my Brother Levi and his lovely bride Sunny!" Johnston's sister Mercedes tweeted Sunday.
"Congrats to my Brother Levi and his lovely bride Sunny!" Johnston's sister Mercede tweeted Sunday before posting pics of the bride and groom.
Not in attendance, however, was Johnston's son Tripp, 4, his first child with ex Bristol Palin, something that Johnston told Inside Edition he was pretty upset about.
"I wanted him to be my ring bearer," he said of his disappointment. According to Inside Edition, Johnston had not told Palin about the ceremony, but did ask her to have Tripp for the weekend.
Johnston, whose whirlwind trip through tabloid fame included a trip to the Republican National Convention, posing for Playgirl and being engaged for a time to Palin — "We still hate each other," he's said — welcomed baby girl Breeze Beretta with Oglesby in September.
The Guardian Express reported the occasion as the 22-year-old Johnston and Oglesby, 20, welcomed the arrival of their newborn baby girl, Breeze Beretta Johnston.
Breeze was born at 5:28 AM at Matsu Regional Hospital in Palmer, Alaska. At the time of arrival the baby weighed 6 pounds 15 ounces and was 19 inches long.
Johnston and Oglesby had been dating since late 2010, shortly after Johnston's second engagement with Palin fell apart.
He admitted that her pregnancy was unplanned.
"There was a time we went to the cabin and forgot the birth control pills, and a month later we found out we were having a baby," the New York Daily News reported him as saying in April.
The name Beretta was inspired by the Italian gunmaker, according to Britain's Daily Mail. and "sits well with Johnston who is an avid hunter of caribou, elk and bears in the wilds of Alaska."
Beretta also makes high-end guns used by the military and police officers.
Palin, a "Dancing with the Stars" contender, wrote a book about being a single teen mom after she and Johnston broke up.
She also appeared on the TV show "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" and posed for Playgirl magazine.
In April, Johnston and Oglesby sat down for a chat with Inside Edition. "There was a time we went to the cabin and forgot the birth control pills, and a month later we found out we were having a baby," he explained of Sunny, a 20-year-old teacher who resides in his hometown of Wasilla, Alaska.
But unlike his relationship with Palin, Johnston said he has a stronger connection with Oglesby. "I'm actually in love," he said, "not doing it just because we had a kid together."
If you're wondering how Johnston and preschool teacher met, he told "Inside Edition" back in May, "I seen her on Facebook — a picture, and I called my friend and said 'Get her,'" His reputation hadn't reached Oglesby, she said. "I wasn't watching that stuff, I was in high school."
This is the first marriage for both Johnston and Oglesby.
"Inside Edition" will air an exclusive special on the ceremony Wednesday.

This 1984 Didn't Involve Big Hair And Tight Pants Essay, Research Paper
One year before his death in 1950, George Orwell published a book entitled 1984. Since then, the novel has become a bible to people all over the world. The excitement is not only due to the fact that the novel is written so incredibly, and with such vision, but also because it makes a bold statement about humanity. This can be shown through the story itself, the way Orwell has set up the structure, the way he has written it and finally the way the story had a reality factor behind it. Many of the things he talked about could or are a reality today.
1984?s main character is Winston Smith, a man who is unsure of the integrity of the dictatorial government (Big Brother) that rules Oceania, one of three superstates in the world of 1984. The book begins with Winston?s daily routine and it shows us how this government and this society has changed from that of today?s. The government has developed its own language, is at constant war with the other two superstates, and watches its citizens at all times. Big Brother has the power to manipulate its citizens into easy ways of thinking. This is done by using propaganda techniques; Big Brother also uses Newspeak and telescreens. Newspeak is the official language of Oceania, and has its sole purpose in abolishing all unconventional thought. "Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought?? Has it ever occurred to your, Winston, that by the year 2050, at the very latest, not a single human being will be alive who could understand such a conversation as we are having now??The whole climate of thought will be different. In fact, there will be no thought, as we understand it now. Orthodoxy means not thinking?not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness" (46-47). The telescreens monitor each citizen that is allowed to be educated, at all times, watching for any action, word, or possible thought that could be unconventional. ?It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself?anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face? was itself a punishable offence. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: facecrime?" (54). In the novel a co-worker, named Julia, secretly approaches Winston, he learns that he is not alone in his belief that Big Brother is ?ungood.? Winston and Julia become lovers and eventually confess their feelings of rebelliousness to O?Brien, a fellow co-worker, who is believed to be a member of a rebel group, the Brotherhood. However O?Brien turns out to be an informant for the ?Thought Police? and turns Julia and Winston in. After which they are separated and Winston is subjected to many forms of torture in order for him to be ?rehabilitated? and love Big Brother once again.
The book is divided into three parts, each of which is then divided into small chapters. The first section of the book deals with Winston and his conflict with how the society he lives in works. The second section is about his love with Julia and his rebellion against Big Brother. Finally the third section deals with Winston?s capture and his rehabilitation back to a Big Brother loving citizen. At the end of the novel there is an appendix on how Newspeak works. However, Orwell uses this language throughout the entire novel and sometimes it can be a little hard to digest. Although it did give you an understanding of the world Winston was living in, Orwell could have still toned it down just a little bit.
Orwell sets out to show his readers what society could become if everything is let to go to its extreme. "?to do anything that suggested a taste for solitude, even to go for a walk by yourself, was always slightly dangerous. There was a word for it in Newspeak: ownlife?" (70). This shows how one was not allowed to even have time to themselves or conduct a life of their own. This is just more proof on how beautifully Orwell has got his message across. Some of the material proposed in his novel is not too far-fetched from what is already in place in today?s society. The almost scary prediction of the future only adds to the point Orwell was trying to accomplish in the first place.
This book makes you think about whether this type of scenario has a possibility of becoming reality. The way the government is controlling every move you make both in your private and public lives. As well as the fact that they can look in on you at any point of the day and can see what you are doing and hear what you are saying. Technology right now has the capability of doing all of these things. Cameras and microphones so small they are virtually invisible and are almost impossible to detect. The only reason our society is unlike that of the one depicted in the book is because we the people still value our private lives and are unwilling to allow the government or anyone to take that away from us. As soon as we let a ?Big Brother? watch every move that we make and control every thought that we think, we as a society are no longer people; we are just pons for the government to move and play with in any way that they wish. It is human nature to want to know everything all the time, but this is just a little extreme.
This book is relatively easy to follow and is a fun read. However, sometimes it does use a higher level vocabulary that some elementary and young secondary students may have trouble with. The use of Newspeak here and there may throw off some readers but it should not hinder your enjoyment too much. If you are interested in futuristic novels that are not too far off from what is actually happening today, I would highly recommend this book to you.

October 8th is still clear.
Boat Ramp (Lot C) Gate Cards and Fishing Tags are the property of LPCA. They may be obtained from the Area 5 Rep – See "Contact Us" for current contact.
All boats moored in the canals must have a clearly displayed identification sticker with the owner's name, current address and phone number for notification in an emergency, e.g. sinking due to a storm.
When using parking lots or the boat ramp, a Lagoon Point Homeowners Parking Tag must be visible in/on your vehicle. Vehicles without a visible Lagoon Point Homeowner's Parking Tag are subject to penalties for trespassing.
When fishing from the community beach or walking the private beach properties of others, your Homeowners Fishing Tag should be visibly carried on your person.
Please observe the waterway speed limit-NO WAKE!!
State regulations require the use of sinking buoy lines for crab pots inside the entrance from Admiralty Inlet. No crab pots may be set in the east or west canals except from owner's docks and, in Lot C (the main entrance), pots may not be set where they may endanger boat traffic.
All residents must be aware that to climb on or fish from the jetty rocks is extremely dangerous. Any persons who climbs on or fishes from them, do so at their own risk. All residents are requested to discourage others from doing so.
- The Area 5 Rep shall be the custodian of the Homeowners Gate Card, Parking Tag & Fishing Tags Register.
- Homeowner's Gate Card, Parking Tag & Fishing Tags may be issued only to Lot Owners provided the owner's Dues and Assessment payments are current.
- Lost or Stolen Gate Cards and Tags: a LPCA Member will report a lost or stolen Gate Card, Parking Tag or Fishing Tags to their Area Representative or the Lagoon Point Board immediately. The lost or stolen Gate Card will be deactivated as soon as possible. If the Gate Card, Parking Tag or Fishing Tags are stolen, the LPCA Member will file a Police Report with the Island County Sheriff's office. They will provide a copy of the Police Report to the Lagoon Point Board to avoid the replacement Gate Card costs of $150.00.
- When a property is sold: An LPCA Member will return the Homeowner's Gate Card, the Homeowner's Parking Hang Tag and the Homeowner's Fishing Tags to the Lagoon Point Treasurer upon the sale of any Lagoon Point property. The address to return is 3675 Oceanside Drive. Email: email@example.com
- The LPCA Member will be charged a $150.00 fee at escrow if all 4 items are not returned and that Gate Card will be deactivated.
Opening and Closing the Boat Launch (Lot C) Gate:
The card scanners on each side of the gate are proximity scanners. Simply wave the Gate Card within 4 inches and the gate will open and stay open for about 1 minute. It is recommended that you drive your vehicle and boat trailer completely through the gate when entering or exiting the parking lot. There are ground sensors on each side of the gate which should stop the gate from closing while you are in the process of entering or exiting. There is also a pressure sensor that should stop and reverse the gate if it comes in contact with a hard object. It is a black rubber strip on the gate edge.
Power Issues:
If the gate controller loses power, it will remain in position where it was at the time of the power loss. If this happens, the gate can be opened by hand by pushing the gate back towards the power pole. This is a heavy gate therefore not easy.
Leave the gate in the open position for others to get in or out. When power is restored the gate will go through a series of open and close cycles to re-calibrate.
In case of emergencies, the Fire or Emergency Department has a key to the "Knock Box" mounted on the front of the gate that will override and open the gate. The gate will remain open until the Fire or Emergency Department switches it back on.
Boat Launch (Lot C) Gate Problems:
Please report gate problems to one of the gate committee members listed below:
Dick Kuss by email: email@example.com
Richard Gohlke by email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Rob Powers by email: firstname.lastname@example.com

A film about the Christchurch mosque shootings, in which 51 people died, is to be directed by Egyptian film-maker and academic Moez Masoud.
According to Variety the film's title will be Hello, Brother, the words spoken by 71-year-old victim Hati Mohammed Daoud Nabi, who opened the door to the gunman of Al Noor mosque, where 42 people died. The central characters are "a family facing death and destruction in Afghanistan who escape with their lives".
Masoud announced the film at the Cannes, where producing company Acamedia is looking for backers. Masoud said: "In Christchurch, on 15 March, the world witnessed an unspeakable crime against humanity. The story that Hello, Brother will bring to audiences is just one step in the healing process, so that we might all better understand each other, and the root causes of hatred, racism, supremacy and terrorism."
Previously, Masoud was one of the producers of Clash, directed by Mohamed Diab, a study of a disparate group confined in a single police van in the aftermath of protests against Egypt's then president Mohamed Morsi; it was selected for the Un Certain Regard section at the 2016 Cannes film festival and gained a string of admiring reviews, including from the Guardian's Peter Bradshaw.
Outside film-making, Masoud is a prolific writer and activist, currently at No 31 in the Muslim 5oo list of influential people. He added that he wanted to "bring people all over the world together to discuss that day and continue a positive dialogue for a future based on genuine mutual understanding".

Mesquite Carpet Cleaning Service
We have you covered in all forms of cleaning services from carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, tile and grout cleaning, to stain removals. We provide service in and around Mesquite, TX. We'd be more than happy to come out to any neighboring cities for our customers!
Just imagine, you walk into your home and can't help but notice that glaring coffee stain that you tried with all your might to get rid of last week. If it isn't that stain, it's those intermittent vague dirt spots that cover the entirety of your carpet. And if it isn't that, it's the overall look of the carpet, as if it has been through numerous great battles. Let us help address these situations, let MQ Carpet Cleaners get your carpets cleaned from inside and out, whilst leaving your home feeling fresh and new again!
Why you need carpet cleaning
Besides the obvious aesthetic reasons, there are a couple other crucial and functional benefits. For one, a deeply sanitized carpet is rid of all types of bacteria and germs that had previously made it their home. We can feel more at ease when our kids are rolling around on the ground, knowing that there aren't nearly as many health-deteriorating bacteria hidden in there waiting to grasp on anyone and anything.
Another reason is you will have a longer-lasting carpet. A regularly cleaned carpet will without a shadow of a doubt last much longer, perhaps even beyond its estimated lifespan.
Our Services
Residential Carpet Cleaning - we do it for any and all homes of any and all sizes. We carefully analyze the type of carpet so to use the right products for the job. Further, our experts have designed a process such that it is strong enough have all allergens and bacteria are completely removed, while being gentle enough on the material to preserve its makeup, look and feel. What you get as a result is highly optimal air quality and a carpet that is fresh and sanitized to its very core.
Commercial Carpet Cleaning - a lot goes on in a commercial building, one of them being constant walking and standing and eating on. So it is all the more imperative that we have our building's carpet regularly maintained. The same process as our residential counterpart is used here except on a much grander scale.
Upholstery Cleaning and Drapes Cleaning - Too often the furniture, curtains and drapes are forgotten when it comes to regular upkeep of our home. Without these, our home is not really a home as these items are subject to constant use. Let's get those sofas and couches looking almost new once again!
Tile Cleaning and Grout Cleaning - Those dirty tiles can really be an eyesore can't they? You've tried everything and while they look slightly better, they're nowhere near their original form. It gets even worse with grout, like how do you even reach down into these darn things?? Tiles and grout really are one of the tougher areas to maintain around your home. Let us take care of it for you and make 'em shine like they used to.
Area Rug Cleaning - to protect our carpets area rugs can do wonders to protect against spills. But what's the point if the rug itself is stained, worn down and dull. We can restore the original vibrant colors of your rugs, and clean such that dirt will not adhere as easily as it once did.
Stain Removal and Odor Removal - those stains, whether a coffee stain or pet stain, can truly be an eyesore. So much that the smallest of them can and will hurt the look of your entire room or office. With our analysis and the follow-up corrective action we can have that darn stain removed once and for all.
Interior Car Cleaning - besides our home and office the next place we spend a lot of our time is in our vehicles. We do everything from eating, drinking, to simply sitting for long periods of time so you can imagine how worn down the upholstery and the carpets will be over time. With that being said we can do for your car what we do for your home, in that cleaning it inside out and freshening it up to the nth degree.
Mesquite Carpet Cleaners that do it right
Too often you'll see a too good to be true deal from carpet cleaning companies (3 rooms for $99 anyone?). What you also often end up getting is a less than satisfactory job by what would seem like sales people dressed as professional cleaners. Before the job even starts you'll start getting upsold on various other services which you didn't even know existed.
The truth is no good service is dirt cheap as described above, nor does it have to be super expensive where you'll have to think ten times over. Enter MQ Carpet Cleaning - we understand you simply need your carpets and your home cleaned thoroughly and be done with it. We understand you want it done for a reasonable price without being upsold on unnecessary services.
Here's what you'll get with us:
Quick Maintenance Tips For Your Carpet
Some of these may seem so obvious but you'd be surprised how many of us actually practise these steps. Implementing these simple and quick actions can go a long way in ensuring a longer lasting carpet.
So if you want the most professional and highly-trained experts keeping your home in the best of conditions as possible, look no further than us. We strive to be the best local carpet cleaning company in and around all of Mesquite, TX. Give us a call today at 469-369-1667 to get your FREE quote today!

Papua New Guinea's Ombudsman Commission has blocked a move by the government to take up a massive loan to buy back the state's shares in PNG's largest oil and gas company.
The Prime Minister, Peter O'Neill, had looked to take out a US$1.2 billion loan with Swiss bank UBS to buy back the government's shares in the company, Oil Search.
The former treasurer, Don Polye, was sacked by the government last week over his opposition to the loan.
Our correspondent in PNG, Todagia Kelola, says the commission has used its special powers to stop the loan because it has concerns with the way in which the loan was taken out.
"Everything is frozen until the Ombudsman Commission does its investigation and checks if the leaders that have made this loan followed all the procedures and processes of the law."
Our correspondent in PNG, Todagia Kelola.

I first fell in love with this Prada Marfa canvas while watching Gossip Girl. The moment I saw this sign on the show, I knew I had to have it in my life but at the time I couldn't find where to purchase it anywhere and didn't think I could ever make it. I stumbled across it again on ZGallerie but couldn't bring myself to paying that much for it.
I got my Prada Decal from Amazon for $30. The canvas I bought at Micheal's and used one of their 40% off one full priced item coupon, which are always available on there website to printout. The canvas size is 24″ x 36″.
And I got this spatula from Home Depot to help me transfer the decal to the canvas.
First I placed the decal down very carefully to get it perfectly centered.
Then I used my spatula and started at the bottom with the numbers and worked my way across. After each section I completed I cut that part of the paper off, if you don't the decal will stick to the paper again and come off the canvas.
I did one letter at a time, and cut the paper each time to keep it from sticking back to the paper.
And now it's ready to hang, it's that easy! No stencils, rulers and painting like all the other DIY's I found on Pinterest. All you need are three things: Decal, Canvas and spatula!
If you have any questions feel free to ask in the comments 🙂
Thanks for reading loves and Happy Friday!

Thursday, Aug 4, 1994
South San Francisco, Calif. -- August 4, 1994 --Federal authorities in Minneapolis, Minnesota today announced the return of a 51-count indictment charging five individuals and Caremark Inc. with violations of the Medicare/Medicaid antiremuneration laws and other federal criminal statutes. Dr. David R. Brown, Caremark Inc. and several Caremark employees were indicted. Also named in three of the counts was Edmon R. Jennings, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Genentech. Jennings, 47, has been with Genentech eight years. Federal authorities in Minneapolis have said that neither Genentech, Inc. nor any other Genentech employee is expected to be indicted in connection with this investigation.
After becoming aware of the investigation in Minnesota, Genentech contacted the federal authorities to cooperate, and has done so since then.
"Obviously we are very concerned about Ed's indictment," said G. Kirk Raab, President and CEO of Genentech. "He is a highly admired and valued executive who has contributed a great deal to our organization. We support Ed in his forthcoming effort to vindicate himself of the charges."
The indictment alleges that payments, including research grant payments, were made to a physician residing in Minneapolis to induce him to prescribe Protropin® human growth hormone. Caremark is a distributor of Protropin.
Due to the active nature of this proceeding, Genentech will not comment further at this time.
Genentech, Inc. is a leading biotechnology company that discovers, develops, manufactures and markets human pharmaceuticals for significant medical needs. The company has headquarters in South San Francisco, California and is traded on the New York and Pacific Stock exchanges under the symbol GNE.
