One of the hardest concepts for a parent of a gifted child to contend with is "full potential". People love to talk about allowing children to work to "their full potential" until they encounter a gifted child - especially a profoundly gifted child. We found this out with my eldest. He had been grade skipped into Kindergarten, was reading a a First grade level, but something just wasn't "right". So, we took him to a psychologist who specializes in working with gifted children (and who is amazing by the way!!) and our suspicion was confirm - he was dyslexic. As we searched deeper into his issue with reading we also found he had severe vision issues.
Now, fixing the "reading problems" of a child reading two grade levels above where he should be age wise becomes a challenge. Not to us, but to the traditional world of education, which we found we just couldn't bear to navigate. "Problem, what problem? He is the best reader in the class!" Okay. That might be true, but that wasn't his full potential and that wasn't okay with us and it shouldn't be okay with anyone.
I found people are very comfortable encouraging a child to work to their potential when you are talking about a child below the norm. Of course we want every child to be all they can be! Really? I had hoped this would be the case. Unfortunately, I began to feel the push to isolate and conceal. Conceal the fact that our three year old twins would be doing First grade math in the fall. When a gifted child begins to work to their full potential, it can become very uncomfortable for those around the child. It seems unnatural - does this little kid really like math that much? Yes.
I believe one of the hardest things people must fight against is comparison. My children working at advanced levels in academic subjects in no slight against any other child on the planet. My husband and I don't think our children better than any other children, we don't look down on anyone and don't consider other children "behind". Honestly, we are so busy trying to hang on for dear life as our children learn and grow we don't have time to think, let alone think ourselves "lucky" or "above". How can I think of myself as above, I need to wear a life preserver to keep for sinking under the weight of the challenge and responsibility of educating these three children that refuse to fit into a box called "age appropriate".
That is really what this blog is about. Wanting to finally give a voice to all those parents like us, hanging on for the ride. To show the people there is no formula for a gifted child, if they learn to read at 3 or 5 or 7, it really isn't the work of brilliant parents - these kids are just made in a unique way. Having at least one "twice exceptional" child (a gifted child with a learning disability) is an even bigger challenge. Have you ever seen someone park in a handicapped parking space - only to get out of the car looking perfectly healthy? This is the plight of the twice exceptional child - no one can "see" the disability - so they believe you are a fake and a phony trying to get some unfair advantage. So, here we are - dealing with the jeers and the sneers as we struggle with challenges people can't see with the naked eye. Its okay though - my child is worth the the struggle of giving him the opportunity to work to his "full potential". I'll admit, its amazing to watch.

Just got a new cell phone and not sure what to do with the old Old one?
You're not alone. As a result of this dilemma I've been keeping a number of old cell phones in my "Museum" including flip phones, early Motorolas with nice leather covers, an old brick phone (a real monster by today's standards) even an original BlackBerry, the one with the wheel on the side (you remember, the one that made BlackBerry famous). These all reside on a shelf in my office – collecting dust – along with a few Kodak Brownie cameras and a smattering of ancient transistor radios.
But these are really old cell phones and mostly analog they don't even work on today's modern digital networks. So unless you're very (very) techy or have a museum of your own, you might just as well recycle or donate your old cell phones.
On the other hand, if your most recent "old" cell phone is a smart phone or even a super phone then you're in luck!
So what can be done with these oldies?
For starters, your old smart phone is more or less a "WiPhone" which describes it for what it really is; a WIFI enabled phone. Your WiPhone is a valuable asset and should be cherished not discarded.
Except for 911 calls (see below), the only thing on your WiPhone that won't work, of course, is the cellular network – any feature, service or app that doesn't rely on that network will most likely function properly. Things like WIFI (hence the name WiPhone), Camera, Calendar, Games, Tasks, Web Browser, Clock, et cetera will all function as before. Don't forget, your WiPhone is not just an old cell phone it's a palm sized PC. Almost anything your desktop or laptop or new cell phone can do your WiPhone can do. Even download new apps.
Things you can do with your WiPhone:
The possibilities are endless but here are just a few ideas to get you started:
- Wi-Fi phone using Google Voice or Skype. Yep, it can still be a phone. Here is a post by Simon Hill from androidauthorty.com covering Android phones;
- TV remote. There are some very cool apps for turning your phone into a TV remote. Check out this GIZMODO post by Andrew Tarantola;
- Camera. A second phone camera gives you extra picture storage and the added advantage of a second, charged camera. Remember to download the picture off your old phone as soon as possible to free up space on the media card. Here's more on this topic by Annabelle Smyth
- Backup Device. This is easy, just sync your old phone with your new phone every day. Job done. You'll never again lose more than a day's worth of data.
- Music. Load your favourite songs on to your WiPhone, voila, no more scrambling to switch apps when your cell phone rings.
Here's some more ideas: nice article by Adam Dachis on LifeHacker
And another good idea, this one from Trent Hamm's blog: "Use it as a 911 phone. Charge it up, turn it off, and stick the phone (along with the old charger) in your glove box. Then, if you're ever in an accident or other emergency, you can pull the phone from your glove box, flip it on, and use it to dial 911. This will work because all cell phones are required to allow you to dial 911, even without an active service plan to the phone."
You could also keep it at the cabin or your boat or anywhere else an emergency phone could come in handy. You must check with your cellular network provider before relying on the 911 without an active service.
One more thing, as a professional, using your WiPhone frees up your cell phone for business – and that can only be a good thing!

Do you have ideas on WiPhone uses? I would love to hear about them. Please add a Comment or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. And thank you for reading this post.

"Energy" is much in the news today, with good reason. Until the early 70s, the cost of electrical energy was not considered to be very important, and sometimes even went unstated in evaluating the cost of material handling operations. The "payback" of capital outlay and labor costs were the major considerations completely overshadowing the relatively miniscule costs of energy.
No longer, however, does capital outlay, or the cost of borrowed money, or of labor, etc., overshadow the cost of energy. Indeed, now, many engineering and purchasing decisions begin with an analysis of energy costs.
The reasons are obvious. Just as the shortages of gasoline and diesel fuel to operate combustion-engine vehicles have drastically increased their per-mile operating costs, so have the increased cost of generating and delivering electrical energy raised the cost of operating battery powered fork lift trucks. Every fork lift truck is a user of energy, whether that energy is derived from gasoline or from an electric grid fed by hydro-power, nuclear power, or fossil fuels. With all three categories of energy displaying strong tendencies to increasing costs in the foreseeable future, it is entirely reasonable to expect increasing concern for improving the overall efficiency with which battery-powered fork lift trucks are operated.
As developers and manufacturers of several proprietary instruments for monitoring the performance of batteries, we at Curtis have actively pursued the subject of efficiency in battery-powered vehicles.
An early example was our design of the battery state-of-charge indicator for NASA's Lunar Rover vehicle. The object in that case was to warn the astronauts so that they would not drive too far from their base station there being no means available for recharging the Rover's batteries,
A parallel program is our 933 Fuel Gage for battery-powered fork lift trucks. Here, the instrument is used to warn the driver when the truck's battery has reached the safe limit of discharge. Tens of thousands of these units are now in use on fork lift trucks throughout the world.
As we work with and listen to industry people using electric fork lift trucks, one theme emerges over and over again. "How can we minimize our energy costs?"
The purpose of this book is to assist those people in minimizing their energy costs:
By helping them to correctly select batteries for their trucks.
By showing them how to control the use of electrical energy in recharging their batteries.
By helping them to avoid damaging batteries and trucks by over-discharging batteries.
The material in this book was compiled from numerous standard reference sources, from data published by manufacturers of lead acid traction batteries, from published technical papers, and from various engineering investigations carried on by Curtis as part of our ongoing study of batteries and their applications. There are, of course, no direct references to particular makes or models of truck, battery or charger. Of necessity we have generalized our examples to give them the widest possible application. Thus, where estimates of energy use, etc., are given, they are approximations based on our experience in the field and confirmed by reference to published product data. Note also that we have avoided placing specific values on capital equipment, labor, and energy.
Whenever feasible we have used nomenclature and abbreviations that conform to industry standards. In case of doubt we have relied on the standards promulgated by the IEEE/ANSI.
The text of this book has been reviewed for us by several well-known specialists in the field, and we would like to thank them individually:

Do-It-Yourself wedding projects are more popular than ever. Couples are super-pumped to save money by not out-sourcing all their nuptial needs while having a truly personalized ceremony & reception from start to finish! Think you'd like to jump on the DIY bandwagon? Before committing to take on making your own wedding invitations, RSVP cards, thank-yous, programs, etc. you should ask yourself the following questions:
1. "Do I have the time?" Unless you're well-versed in card making, graphic design, and crafting, chances are you have no idea how laborious this process can be. If your schedule is already packed, consider buying professionally printed wedding stationery – or have an independent design one-of-a-kind wedding collateral for you.
2. "Do I have the ability?" Be honest. If you're great with shapes, colors, glue & scissors, then go for it! If you're a little less left-brained, don't be afraid to try a ready-made kit that is simple to assemble or seek the help of one of your more artistically gifted friends.
3. "Do I have the resources?" A lot of brides opt for DIY wedding invitations as a money-saving measure. If that's your primary motivation, you should know that the extra time and effort may not be worth it in the end. If you're not excited by the idea of making everything by hand, first shop the clearance sections at online boutiques or visit a locally owned print shop to see what they would charge to design and print the invitations for you. I found my dream invites in the clearance section of an online stationer, marked down just enough to fit my budget. When my father & stepmother got married, they took one of her original paintings to a small-town printer and had it replicated as their wedding invitation…for 20% of the cost of my clearance invitations. Being creative is half the fun – especially when it saves you money.
4. "Do I have the desire?" If you have no earthly clue how to make your own wedding invitations & even less inclination to actually do it, then, by all means – skip it! If you're hoping to save money, there are many other DIY wedding ideas to help stretch your dollars. Likewise, if you know EXACTLY what you want and can't find it (or are a perfectionist who doesn't trust anyone but yourself!), then creating your own wedding invitations and other stationery is probably a necessary means of preserving your sanity.
If you (or a trusted friend!) can answer these questions in the affirmative, then you are certainly ready to start creating your own wedding invitations. If you don't feel like taking on the entire wedding collateral, mix and match doing some pieces yourself while leaving some for the professionals. Whatever you decide, just be sure it's what you really want – and don't let anyone (even me!) talk you out of it. It's your big day!

When to DIY: Wedding Invitations

Planning Timeline: Invitations
You've got a list a mile long of all your wedding to-dos; in fact, you're pretty sure there are 37 additional things you forgot to put on the list that MUST be completed in the next 6 months. So, where to start? After you've nailed down your ceremony & reception site and wedding date, you're ready to getting moving on invitations!
Shop Around: Take a week or two to visit stationers in your area. Also, be sure to look online as many boutique designers, such as Wedding Invitations by Wedding Paper Divas have full-service websites. If you can't quite decide between your top 3 choices, most paper companies offer to send samples so you can get the full effect – but keep in mind that it can take up to two weeks for some samples to arrive. Places like Hobby Lobby, Michael's, Wal-Mart & Target have also begun to offer easy-to-personalize wedding collateral lines.
Place Your Order: Once you've found the perfect invites, don't waste any time ordering (and try not to order any later than three months before your wedding date). Allow up to 6 weeks for delivery (most companies deliver in 2-4). It's important to order wedding invitations as soon as you are able for this reason: mistakes happen. If you allow a "cushion", you won't have to freak out if your save-the-dates are a different color than your invitations or if they spelled "Catherine" with a "K" instead of a "C". Note: If you do end up with a stationery snag, don't be a brat when you call the company. Yes, this is your big day. Yes, you're paying good money for their product. But the fact of the matter is that the 19-year-old receptionist had nothing to do with the misprint and you'll catch more flies with honey.
Envelope Stuffing & Labeling: Unless you've been a bridesmaid in the past, you've probably never experienced the tedium of delicately cramming the invitation, RSVP card, direction card, registry card and that flimsy little sheet of tissue paper into the inner envelope - and then into the outer envelope…250 times. It's not a bad idea to begin this process 8-10 weeks before you plan to mail the invitations. As busy as you'll be balancing work, family, and wedding planning it's wise to plan ahead and give yourself some extra time – or rope in your 'maids, mom, and sisters for a night of assembly line fun (she with the best penmanship should be reserved for the actual addressing). Don't forget the stamps! Your local post office offers special postage specifically for weddings, so be sure to ask for it! Note: Though food & drinks make any pre-wedding activity more fun, keep them as far from your assembly line as possible. That red wine stain won't come out of 250 pearl and ivory invitations.
Mailing: You're almost finished! Since we all know that the postal service delivers top-notch precision and accuracy when handling our mail, you would be wise to mail out-of-town guests' invites 6 weeks before the wedding date. In-town guests can typically be mailed 4 weeks out – but I say, why make TWO trips to the post office? Just dump them all in your nearest blue box at the 6 week mark to be safe. That gives everyone a little more time to RSVP – which means fewer last minute calls to your caterer to up your dinner count.

Speech by Mr. Brian Lenihan T.D., Minister for Children at the presentation of the South West Inner City Network's Youth Achievement Awards
Tuesday 28th November 2006 at St Catherine's Church, Thomas Street, Dublin 8
It is a great pleasure for me to be here tonight to officiate at the presentation of the Youth Achievement Awards and I would like to express my sincere thanks to Marie Stanley, Chairperson, South West Inner City Network for inviting me to attend.
Awards like this do not happen by themselves. They need a vibrant, hard working team to drive it forward and plan its success and I would like to say a special thanks to all associated with organising these proceedings and to St. Catherine's for being our host venue for this special event tonight.
South West Inner City Network
I very much appreciate the valuable work and role played by the many groups and organisations around the country who are proactively involved in promoting and facilitating the development of their local communities. The South West Inner City Network is a community development umbrella organisation which represents close to fifty community and voluntary organisations in the South West inner city area of Dublin. Since its establishment in 1994 it has continuously provided a forum where issues affecting the community are identified and collective action is taken to address them.
I am greatly impressed by the sheer commitment and unbridled enthusiasm of the members of the Network which down through the years, has provided a strong level of community support to improve outcomes in the inner city area. In facilitating a co-ordinated and integrated approach to dealing with problems in the area the Network aims:
- To enable and support people to have a choice in what happens to them and in the development of their area;
- To create greater awareness of the issues affecting people's lives and to promote appropriate action to deal with them; and
- To ensure that the area and its people receive a fair share of available resources, both National and European.
I am sure you will all join with me in paying tribute to all those involved in the South West Inner City Network who work so tirelessly, with enthusiasm and commitment, to achieve these aims. I wish you all every success in your continuing endeavours in this regard for the future.
Youth Achievement Awards
On behalf of everyone present here tonight, I would like to commend the South West Inner City Network who, in association with An Garda Síochána, Kevin Street have been organising these awards since 1999. The Youth Achievement Awards formally recognise and acknowledge the achievements and the good work being done by the young people in the area. The awards also highlight the positive aspects of this vibrant community and the fact that the majority of young people in the area are not involved in drugs, crime and anti-social behaviour, despite the area being portrayed as having many such social problems.
It is heartening to see so many young people involving themselves in the life of their local community. I am pleased to see that the Awards tonight cover five broad categories of achievement which includes Sport, Personal Development, Community Involvement, Academic Development and Group. Each of these offer young people opportunities not only for personal development but also the chance to help their communities. The fifth category acknowledges the importance of bestowing recognition on the achievements of young people working together in groups.
I know that the award ceremony tonight is a very important event for the South West Inner City Network and has grown in popularity over the last number of years. I would like to especially thank the Selection Committee - Superintendent Thady Muldoon, Kevin Street Garda Station, Evan Moore, Chief Executive Officer of the Network and Sladjana Malich, South Inner City Drugs Education/Prevention Officer for their enormous help in adjudicating on the award nominations and the many sponsors for their generous and valuable support in making this event possible.
South West Inner City Community Policing Forum
I would like at this stage to say a few brief words about the South West Inner City Community Policing Forum which has been in operation for a number of years and acts as a communication mechanism between the various representatives groups in the community and the Gardaí. The Forum usually meets once a month at which issues relating to anti-social behaviour and policing matters are meaningfully discussed.
I understand that the Community Policing Forum has proven to be a very effective framework in building on the good relationship that exists between the Gardaí and the local communities. It has also been instrumental in working towards the creation of a safer community environment for all who live and work in the area and in developing proactive approaches to address identified concerns and potential problems.
There is no doubt that initiatives such as the Community Policing Forum and the Youth Achievement Awards play a very valuable role in building and maintaining communities and are a testament to the commitment, vision and partnership approach of the community. I very much welcome and support collaborative approaches such as these within local communities.
Of course the real stars of tonight's proceedings are the recipients of the awards and I know you are all quite anxious to hear the announcement of the winners of the 2006 Youth Achievement Awards. So to conclude, I would like to avail of the opportunity to extend my warm congratulations to all concerned and to wish them every success in the future.

It's been just over a month since the official start of summer and since June 21 so far it's been good. Although I woke up this morning at 5 am to pounding hail on my patio, the sunshine came out soon after that. This is pretty much representative of the fabulous warm and sunny weather we've had all month. I also awoke with an odd, but welcome new perspective on things. I don't know how it happened, but I'm now okay with being single. Maybe because I've been going out a ton and having a lot of fun without a boyfriend :)
Summer for me appropriately enough started with a summer solstice wine tasting. Since then I've done the following:
gospel music concert, jazz fest, DNA wine tasting, Rose & white Burgundy wine club wine tasting, Grouse Grind, week at my cottage, Tour de Gastown, Wine Club wine bar crawl, picnic at Spanish banks, Jericho Tennis Club Sin at Sunset party, good-bye dinner for Amanda at Nu, JD's 40th bday party, drinks with Colin at Lift, drinks with Sudha at Capone's, drinks with Jerry at Six Acres, drinks with Dan at Chill Winston, drinks with Bob at Watermark, lunch with Jim, lunch with Russ, and last night I went to a fireworks bbq rooftop deck party. WHEW!
Fortunately the summer is only half way over... Coming up, so far I've got scheduled: a date in Seattle, SFDC club night, DNA golf clinic & bbq, Lulelemon Flip Flop Soiree, Vancouver Lawn and Tennis Pink Polynesian Pool Party, Amnesty International picnic, Riesling Wine Club tasting, SFDC golf tournament, and hopefully the Labor Day long weekend at my cottage.
Other stuff I'd like to do that involves less partying and more fun outdoors stuff: Gallagher Canyon hike, mountain biking, ocean kayaking, sailing, and canoeing. I just need to find someone(s) to do it all with ;)
On a more serious note, I can't help but reflect on everything not so good (to put it mildly) going on in the world and closer to home. More to come on this in the next post...

Source: Towers out as Padres' GM
Kevin Towers, the longest-tenured general manager in the major leagues, has been fired by the San Diego Padres, a person familiar with the situation said Friday night.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the club hadn't made an announcement. The Padres said only that CEO Jeff Moorad will address the media today.
Towers, in his 14th season as Padres GM, said in an e-mail that he can't comment on his situation. He is under contract through next season.
Under Towers, the Padres won four NL West titles and reached the 1998 World Series, where they were swept by the Yankees.
The Padres are 74-85. Coming off a 99-loss season in 2008, they have rebounded with a strong final two months, thanks in part to moves by Towers. Since July 28, they are 36-23, fourth-best in the major leagues over that span.
Attendance drops for 2nd straight year
Attendance has dropped 6.9 percent across the major leagues to its lowest level since 2003, an average of 30,276 fans per game. That follows a 0.8 percent slide last year from the record average of 32,785 set in 2007.
Given the recession and the decrease in capacity in two new ballparks that opened in New York this year, baseball officials are pleased.
"Obviously, I've stated how well we've done," commissioner Bud Selig said this week.
Twenty-two of the 30 teams have seen decreases, and three of the teams with increases are up less than 1 percent.
Short hops
Dave Trembley will return to manage the Baltimore Orioles in 2010. … Reds reliever Arthur Rhodes will miss the last three games of the season because of a broken left big toe. … The Reds fired pitching coach Dick Pole. … The Yankees will install 60 cafe seats on the field level and sell 200 standing room places during the postseason. … Lenny Dykstra's championship ring from the 1986 World Series was auctioned off for more than $56,000. … Michael Weiner is closer to succeeding Donald Fehr as head of the players' union. … A new book by a former employee of Alcor, the company that froze Ted Williams' remains, details the alleged mistreatment of the Hall of Famer's body by the company. Larry Johnson was the source of a 2003 Sports Illustrated article that first mentioned the allegations.


text: Review: POF ReVolt Rifle Tom Beckstrand - May 02, 2016 Good rifles are always designed to meet specific needs. Cartridge selection, action type, size and weight specifications are all created to help the rifle meet its ultimate goal. The POF ReVolt from Patriot Ordnance Factory serves to fill a unique void created by the onslaught of ill-advised firearms regulation that came in the wake of the tragic Sandy Hook school shooting. In early 2013, the current administration had itself worked into a lather over passing any and all types of gun restrictions. Many states had enough anti-gun types in their leadership that they fell prey to the latest wave of hysteria, so they targeted a limit on magazine capacities and specific models or banned certain features entirely. Perhaps more telling than the wave of new laws was the level of civil disobedience it engendered. The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) does comprehensive analysis of the firearms industry and ownership. It conservatively estimates that there were more than 350,000 rifles specifically banned in Connecticut's latest anti-gun spree. Of those 350,000, there were only 41,000 permit applications filed. That's about 12 percent compliance.New York's gun landscape is even more depressing. The NSSF estimates that at least 1 million gun owners had firearms affected by the SAFE Act, New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo's late-night end run around citizen rights. If we assume that New York firearms owners are as sick of state bullying as those in Connecticut and refused to comply, there are hundreds of thousands of formerly law-abiding Americans who have instantly been made into criminals. The ambidextrous bolt handle is large enough to grab quickly yet small enough to remain unobtrusive. The bolt's travel doesn't interfere with the shooter's head when behind the rifle. Why the POF ReVolt?Frank DeSomma, owner of POF, decided he wanted to develop a rifle that AR owners in states such as New York and Connecticut could possess. He also wanted to create an option that took the owner's existing AR-pattern lower receiver assembly and turned it into something the law couldn't touch. Why give away, register or sell at a loss something you rightfully and legally purchased, perhaps as an investment? Enter the POF ReVolt.Interestingly, a late-night texting exchange between Frank and this magazine's editor, Eric Poole, produced the name for this straight-pull bolt action. After going back and forth with several patriotic-sounding names, Eric came up with "ReVolt," which visually made him think of the word "bolt" and conjured thoughts about America's independence through revolution. The bolt catch paddle is just barely visible next to the tip of the trigger finger, but manipulation is simple and effortless. Frank replied, "We patriots revolted against tyranny. We are ReVolting the concept of traditional bolt guns. I like the sound, the name, the theme, the meaning ... . It's rebellious that it is a speed action requiring only a straight pull and the feed assist chambers the next cartridge."There are several versions of the POF ReVolt. Complete rifles are available in either 5.56 NATO or .308 Winchester. Each rifle has an 18½-inch barrel that is fluted to reduce weight.For those who already have a lower, the POF ReVolt is also available separately as a complete upper receiver assembly. Provided you have a regular AR-15-pattern rifle or an AR-10 that is compatible with POF uppers (AR-10s aren't as standardized as AR-15s), the ReVolt complete upper will drop right on without any problems. The big difference between the ReVolt and other POF ARs is the bolt-carrier group. Gone is the charging handle; a straight-pull bolt assembly takes its place. In order to possess a rifle legal in all of the "ban" states, the company did have to design a front pivot pin that is captive on the POF ReVolt. The normal pivot pin that pushes out of the way, allowing the upper receiver to be separated from the lower, is replaced with a captive pin that doesn't move out of the way. It still allows the POF ReVolt to be rotated open for maintenance, but it is a permanent change to the lower that was necessary to make everything compliant.The piston system present on other POF rifles is absent on the POF ReVolt, but the package is otherwise unchanged. The barrel is the same button-rifled chrome alloy steel that has given POF its reputation for excellent accuracy. Each POF ReVolt barrel is finished with Melonite, an extremely durable finish that is vastly superior to the usual phosphate/chrome lining we find on a lot of other AR barrels. The ReVolt's bolt is identical to those found in AR-pattern rifles. POF uses 9310, a superior material compared with the traditional Carpenter 158. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department adopted POF's rifles a couple of years back and has been hammering away on one just to see how long it would last before accuracy became so poor that the rifle needed to be rebarreled. It hasn't found that point yet. I saw test targets where three-shot groups were sitting right at three-quarters of an inch at 100 yards.That level of accuracy is good for a new AR, but that particular .308 rifle had more than 66,000 rounds through it prior to accuracy testing. Very few rifles will ever see that many rounds in a couple of owners' lifetimes. There was also a negligible velocity loss when compared with the testing the department did at 20,000 rounds. The Luth MBA stock offers an adjustable length of pull and cheekrest. The toe is also long and flat, allowing it to ride rear support bags well. The implication is that the steel POF uses, when combined with the Meloniting process, resists the effects of throat erosion well. Velocity loss is one sign of throat erosion, meaning the barrel is about to be shot out. The accuracy is a combination of good materials, manufacture and rifle design. The massive barrel nut POF uses is 4 inches long, fluted and made of aluminum. A barrel nut of that size does an excellent job of supporting the chamber, a key component to rifle accuracy. The more support a chamber gets, the less movement we see in this crucial area of the barrel and the better a rifle shoots.Aluminum also has excellent heat-conduction properties. Aluminum conducts heat seven times faster than steel, so an aluminum barrel nut literally sucks the heat out of the steel barrel. If the nut were small, we'd have a problem with the heat migrating quickly to the forend, necessitating gloves if we were really shooting fast. The ReVolt is built on billet aluminum upper and lower receivers that showcase the exceptional machining. The forend has a continuous top rail that ensures both iron sights and optics will have no problem zeroing. The company has also spent a lot of time on the extraction and cycling in its rifles, much to the POF ReVolt's benefit. POF's E2 extraction system has four small grooves cut in the chamber area where the case neck rests up against the chamber wall. The grooves are shallow and run parallel to the bore. When the POF ReVolt fires, the grooves become pressurized and push the case back toward the bolt face. The positive pressure in this area helps ensure that the brass case doesn't stick to the chamber wall and greatly facilitates extraction.On a normal AR, the cycling action pulls the cartridge case out of the chamber and kicks it out the ejection port. The POF ReVolt is all manual, so I wanted to see how smooth the extraction process was with a fired case in the chamber. After several iterations of firing the POF ReVolt and cycling the action and then just cycling the action without any ammunition, I couldn't tell the difference between an empty chamber and one with a fired case in it. I attribute this to the E2 and its ability to prep the case for extraction by unsticking it from the chamber wall. With extraction made so stress-free, I imagine extractor life is significantly longer with the E2 system. Left: The billet aluminum lower receiverhas a heavily beveled magazine well that speeds reloads considerably. The other contributing factor with which the POF ReVolt cycles is the roller cam pin that attaches the bolt to the bolt carrier. Most ARs have a square pin that has to carve out a small recess inside the upper receiver before the bolt group can move unmolested. The POF ReVolt has a patented roller pin that requires much less effort to cycle and doesn't damage the upper receiver.Lower Goodness Between the symmetric bolt handle and the lower receiver controls, there isn't a more ambidextrous bolt-action rifle made than the POF ReVolt. POF's lower receiver has identical controls for the safety, magazine release and bolt catch, all in their traditional locations. Unlike just about any other "ambidextrous" AR out there, the POF ReVolt also has a system that allows both left- and right-handed shooters to lock the bolt to the rear without removing their hands from the usual firing positions. The bolt catch on POF's new Gen III lower can be engaged by the trigger finger when the bolt is being charged to the rear. A host of controls are within reach without having to disrupt a good shooting position including a scalloped relief on both sides of the mag well to rest your trigger finger when not in use. The bolt catch operates by way of an oblong paddle that protrudes slightly from the receiver into the trigger housing. The shooter operates the catch by pushing up with his trigger finger while pulling back on the charging handle. The release is on both sides of the receiver just above the trigger. Whether firing from the right or left shoulder, the operation of the bolt catch on the POF ReVolt remains the same.When I settled behind the POF ReVolt at the range, I wanted to see if it would fire without the buffer and buffer spring in place. The absence of the buffer spring would make it much easier to work the action quickly, provided the bolt remained securely locked in the barrel extension. I saw immediately upon disassembly that this method would not work because the bolt is under spring tension in the bolt carrier and it won't stay locked in place without the buffer spring. Even so, it is easy to work the action by pulling the bolt handle to the rear, much as we pull the charging handle on any AR to the rear.Accuracy of the test rifle was exceptional. I credit this to POF's single-stage trigger that ships in the complete POF ReVolt rifle. The trigger has a uniquely shaped trigger shoe that has a small curved portion for our finger's pad. It makes for consistent placement and can be purchased separately.The trigger on this particular POF ReVolt is very crisp and breaks at 4 pounds. POF put significant time into choosing the spring weights and made an excellent choice for the hammer spring in particular. Often, manufacturers will default to the standard Mil-Spec hammer spring that is heavy and meant to work with the harder military primers. The POF trigger worked fine with all of the military primers I tried it on, but it wasn't so excessive that it disturbed the reticle during dry fire. It's a tough combination to find, but when a trigger achieves this balance, AR-pattern rifles shoot more accurately than their Mil-Spec counterparts.The best group out of the POF ReVolt was achieved using Federal's 168-grain Gold Medal Match. The five-shot group measured .56 inch center-to-center on the extreme spread. I also tested Lapua 185-grain Scenar and had four of the five rounds go into a .3-inch group with the fifth opening things up to .73 inch. Had I not pulled that one round, I would have had my personal best with this rifle. Black Hills 175-grain Match had a best group of .92 inch.While the POF ReVolt was designed for our brothers trapped behind enemy lines within America's borders, it is an excellent bolt-action rifle for those wanting or needing the most ambidextrous model out there. It would also be a good choice for those who hunt and shoot suppressed. With the closed bolt and threaded barrel, a suppressor would make this rifle as quiet as any other bolt gun but much faster to reload, thanks to the spring-loaded straight-pull action.

A little more than a year after the conservative-led state board of education in Texas approved massive changes to its school textbooks to put slavery in a more positive light, a group of Tea Party activists in Tennessee has renewed its push to whitewash school textbooks, the Huffington Post reports. The group is seeking to remove references to slavery and mentions of the country's founders being slave owners. According to reports, Hal Rounds, the Fayette County attorney and spokesman for the group, said during a recent news conference that there has been "an awful lot of made-up criticism about, for instance, the founders intruding on the Indians or having slaves or being hypocrites in one way or another."

Paul Brock Band at St. Anastasia
SAINT AUGUSTINE – You don't have to be Irish nor are you required to wear green at the concert featuring the Paul Brock Band at 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 4 at St. Anastasia Catholic Church. But if you go, be prepared for plenty of toe-tapping music as button accordion and melodeon player Paul Brock and his band perform traditional Irish folk music including selection from their award-winning album "Green Grass Blue Grass."
The concert, the second in the church's 2017-18 concert series, is free and open to the public. A free-will collection will be taken for those who wish to contribute to the concert expenses. Free parking is provided at the church which is located at 5202 A1A South on Anastasia Island. The church seats more than 1400. For information call 471-5364.
Brock co-founded Brock McGuire Band in 2000 with fiddle player Manus McGuire. The band has gone on to record a number of highly acclaimed albums including Green Grass Blue Grass, a collaboration with 14-time GRAMMY Award winner Ricky Skaggs celebrating the connection between Appalachian and Irish music. In 2014, the band performed a fully-scored program of their music with the Mississippi Symphony Orchestra in Jackson, Mississippi.
As a soloist, Brock has toured extensively internationally. He has performed with leading musicians and has been a special guest artist on a number of occasions with acclaimed Irish band The Chieftains.
Brock's 2006 collaboration with Enda Scahill, Humdinger (Compass Records), was voted "Irish Music Album of the Year" by The Irish Times and "Instrumental Album of the Year" by The Irish American News.
Brock's many album credits include A Tribute to Joe Cooley (Gael-Linn) with fiddler Frankie Gavin.

MicroSD cards are the small thing that can carry tons of files in your any device takes a small space in it. However, nowadays microSD cards are almost not getting their place in mobile devices. You may have probably seen 1TB microSD card or 64 or 128GB cards. But now everyone will be able to use half of the terabytes space from upcoming February.
The United Kingdom's Integral Memory has unveiled the 512GB microSD card. They claimed it is the first microSD card that will get shipped and allow the user to use half of the 1TB storage. This is the microSDXC card so still, devices do not have a supported port for this. So as long your device will support you too have the 512GB storage in your daily driver. The unsupported device includes mostly every Android devices and tablet as well as PC.
The Integral Memory Company claims this card can transfer the files up to the 80 MB/s of transfer rate, however, nowadays this not a huge deal. Many of the memory cards can pass through this transfer rate. But as long as it is capable to transfer the big data files as well as the 4K videos on your device.
The company has decided to make it available publicly in upcoming February month but still, they have not decided the price. So we are still in the dark. Although we should remember that it will cost more. The company has also not said anything about its availability regarding how it will be available for the users living outside the UK.
So what do you think about this microSD card? Let us know in the comment section.

Ayodhya Weather And Best Time To Visit
Best Time to Visit In Ayodhya
Ayodhya Weather
Temperature in Ayodhya is torrid during summers, disturbing during monsoons and admirable during winters. Decide the time when you want to visit in Amritsar and check out weather information regarding Amritsar which is given below:
----Winters (November to February)----
In winter weather, Ayodhya becomes little cold and you can visit freely at this time. It has a maximum temperature of about 30o C and below and minimum 10 o C and below. Carry woolens. There is not so cold so carry fewer woolens.
The winter season in Ayodhya extends from the month of November to February. The maximum temperature recorded during this season is around 25°C while the minimum temperature is around 10°C. The days are not cold but warm to be more appropriate. The temperature decreases in the mid season. To avoid that, you can travel in the season during the early winter or late winter. The weather is not much cold. The weather can be described as a pleasant one. It does not snow in Ayodhya during winter. Light woollen clothes are enough to have a comfortable journey in the city during the winter season. But also heavy woollens should be carried as a precautiong. Because you never know when the temperature will drop suddenly. With proper sunlight and cool wind, this is one of the best seasons to travel in Ayodhya.
----Summers (March to July)----
In Summer weather, Ayodhya deals with hottest climate with maximum temperature 47°C and minimum 29°C and above. This is not the ideal Ayodhya visiting time. This warm season is tiring but if can get every facility to travel.
The summer season in Ayodhya extends from the month of March to July. The maximum temperature recorded in the city during this month is around 45°C while the lowest temperature recorded is around 30°C. The temperature remains very high during the day. The average level of humidity also during the day in Ayodhya is high. It can result into discomfort while travelling. It is not the most ideal time to travel in the city of Ayodhya. Hot wind can blow during the season. If you still plan to visit Ayodhya, during summer carry a water bottle, cap and handkerchief. Also, do not fail to remember to carry your sunglass to avoid the harmful UV rays from entering your eyes. Special care should be taken of the children to avoid dehydration.
----Monsoons (August to October)----
The Ayodhya observes heavy rain falls. Picturesque scenery can be seen during this season. Be careful of the muddy and slippery roads. Carry an umbrella. Enjoy rains but be careful so that you could not catch cold.
The monsoon season in Ayodhya extends from the month of August to October. It rains heavily during this season. . With the smell of the soil, clear sky, chirping birds and children splashing in water, you can really become quite an observant. Carry a raincoat or an umbrella to enjoy the weather and nature after the first rainfall. The roads can become muddy as a result of the rain. Flood occurs rarely in the city. Travelling during this season will not be a problem if you are ready to soak your socks in winter. Boots should be worn where travelling by walking is required. Again, extra precautions should be taken for the children so that they do not catch cold.
Thus, winters are best for visiting Ayodhya. You will be happy to visit this holy city. You must visit, you are most welcome.Therefore, it can be concluded that the winter season is the most comfortable season for the tourists. The summer season can prove a bit uncomfortable due to the high temperature and the hot wind blowing. The monsoon season is also fine to travel in the city but the soaking rain can prove dangerous to both health and sightseeing.

As you read in the past update, we received the factory paint samples before we left for the Licensing Expo. These are samples produced by the factory for Klim to examine, take notes on, make sure paint is right, functionality is right, and actually to mess around with until he breaks them. Sad, but that is part of the pre-production process. Klim will pass notes back to the factory and have them make the minor adjustments so that the figures are exactly as he wishes them to be.
You will see from the pics below that our clear figures are CRYSTAL clear and look super cool. The painted figures are also insanely awesome- all painted Four Horsies figures are actually cast in translucent plastic so that they retain elements of translucency on some parts. Gives an extra added level of detail and visual complexity.
You will also see in some of the pics that our glass cases at the Licensing Expo had lights inside them, which made taking pictures a little difficult, but definitely showed off the translucency!
One of the many highlights of this show was Seth Green stopping by to chat and take pics of the Four Horsies. He was stoked that we are making these figures!
As for production schedule, Klim will finalize his notes and tweaking next week- that means tweaks to both the figures and the moulds they come from. The packaging size/blister has been developed and the artwork will be designed next. Production of the actual figures will begin in about 2 weeks, and the production process takes 45 days. After that, the trip from the factory to our warehouse will be another 30 days. So we are looking at approx 3 months until we begin delivering rewards packages that contain the Four Horsies figures (September), assuming we have no delays in customs or in transit.

Surprisingly good service for a short flight
Overall rating
What many will find that this is relatively short flight that doesn't last more then an one hour. Often, on such short flights you cannot expect to get too much of anything. However, i was surprisingly pleased to find the really friendly cabin crew, above average service, and to all that add the comfortable seat and you feel really special. What's noticeable that were able to offer several rounds of service, Impressive.

You work out several times a week with great intensity you never miss a workout and your diet is spot on but you're still not seeing the results you want. Looking back on things you realize you've been doing the same workout with the same weights for months now. Does this sound like you?
Not keeping proper logs of your workouts is a very common failure that can be easily overcome.
Why Should I Keep Track Of My Workouts
Keeping track of your workouts is a great way to motivate yourself and push yourself harder than you've ever imagined. Nothing is more motivating than looking at a log from 6 months ago noting an exercise you are currently doing, but could only complete half the number of reps, or half the weight lifted. Another important reason to log your workouts is to have a goal every week. You load the bar up with the same weight you did last week, but have a goal to do at least one more rep than you did the previous week.
This small difference is what will make you stronger in the long run.
How Should I Log My Workouts
There are several methods you can choose, and really, whatever works for you is best. Many people like to use plain old pencil and paper, and there is nothing wrong with that. If you know what you did the previous workout and have a goal to meet or overcome that, then that's all that is really important. Some people use their smartphones to track things. Technology has evolved to a point of enabling you to download an app and input all your weights and reps into an application on your phone that will keep track of everything for you. Both of these methods are very practical, but I will take a quick minute to show you my favorite method of logging my workouts.
FitOverFat's Method
I like to plan my workouts in advance. I'll usually pick or design a program that I want to run for several weeks, and I'll open an excel template I've created, change everything for my new workout program and print them out. I keep them in an ordinary binder and fill them out between sets or after my workout. The next time I'm ready for that workout I just open my binder, and I've got exactly what I did last week and I challenge myself to beat my last workout.
Keeping track of your workouts in some sort of log is a small step that can really help ensure that you keep progressing toward your fitness physique goals!

|Coat - Zara / Top - Pomelo (old) / Jeans - Topshop / Shoes - Muji / Bag - Accessorize / Earring - & Other Stories (old)
If you follow me on Twitter then you know I've had a thing for camel coats this season. Ever since Vogue Korea put Gigi Hadid in one on the cover of their September issue it's been my mission to find one. I'm pretty sure the one Gigi was wearing in the shoot is from Max Mara but seeing how those are ££££, I decided to look elsewhere. Thankfully Zara came through with a near perfect one - it's big, it's cosy, it's a little more brown than camel but I'm willing to overlook that.
I've always thought of winter coats as more vehicles than actual parts of my outfits, using them just to get to a certain destination and not freeze along the way. This coat is definitely more than a means to stay warm though: I've been planning outfits for it and everything. This particular outfit isn't one of them but I thought it was still blog-worthy. I tend to go back and forth with double denim - sometimes I'm like YES!, other times I feel like it's too much. But I have this shirt and jeans that are almost the same shade and I feel like not wearing them together is a missed opportunity somehow. Also, put a coat in a different colour over the outfit and it goes from too much to just right.
So how's everyone been recently? I turned 23 last week and these photos were taken before I had dinner with the parents (thanks again for the photos mum!). My birthday has brought me a weird sense of seriousness towards my life, like it's time to start thinking about what I really want and how to get there and that my rough blueprints don't really cut it anymore. It might have something to do with my slight fear of ageing, although I'm pretty sure I went through something similar when I made the big jump from age 9 to 10. For the meantime, I really need to update all my online profiles that still say I'm 22...

So, apparently, people who played BioWare's Mass Effect weren't too creative when it came to naming their Shepard character. I wonder if people use their own names more often than not; and I wonder if just by looking at how often certain common names have been used bioware (or some enterprising young behavioral scientist) could figure out an idea about the average age of your players. Further, I wonder what else could be deduced about the players just by taking a macro view of this over gaming franchises.
As a point of reference, I've played the game(s) multiple times – my favorite names for the female Shepard were: Athena, Rowan, and Arya (before the game of thrones show on HBO). None of these are my name; and its the same when I pick any character name – I never use my own. Also, the name of any of my characters is dependant on the type of personality I want the character to have. As an example, if I want her to be an ass-kicking warrior always on the offense, then she gets one of many names from a pantheon of War Goddesses; likewise, if i plan for her to be magical with more defense than offense capabilities, then I name her after a magical plant with protective alchemical properties.
I thought everyone did things like this.
I'd be curious to know what players of other games have named their characters and what's most common.
The most common choices by a large margin were the default names, John and Jane, but BioWare has published the top five names in each gender and the results are… pretty generic.
The top male name chosen (other than John) was Jack. It's not surprising, really, considering the name Jack (as in the "Giant Slayer" or "Bauer") is an archetypal hero name utilised in everything from nursery rhymes and fairy tales to episodes of 24 and disappointing Die Hard sequels.
The most common female name after Jane was Sarah, one of the world's most-popular given names for women across a range of countries, English-speaking or otherwise.

Enter the D16
For the past four months or so, I've been attempting to build my camera setup for the future. I'm not naturally a tech guy, so making a final decision was anxiety-inducing. However, I finally landed on a camera that I have committed to being my partner in crime; the Digital Bolex D16.
Why the Bolex?
I'm not a cinematographer. Learning the art and details of camera operation has been essential to creating the work that I'm most proud of, but it hasn't been a driving force for me creatively. I wanted to change that. Before owning the Bolex, I had bounced around between using DSLRs and my Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera. While I found both experiences rewarding, and would happily shoot with those cameras again, the looks I got from them felt like a means to an end. More specifically, my videos looked like most of the other videos I was seeing being put out by indie filmmakers even with the personal touches I was adding. These cameras were getting the job done, but weren't inspiring me as an artist.
When I was whittling down my choices for a camera upgrade and came upon the Digital Bolex, I was fascinated by the footage people were getting. It looked astonishingly like the 16mm film I was used to seeing on older independent productions, but with the vitality of modern digital filmmakers behind it. Bright colors popped, skin looked soft and smooth, and movements looked natural. There were other cameras with specs that sounded more appealing and sharpness that looked more marketable, but in the end it was the Bolex's images that I couldn't get out of my head.
How's the Setup?
Inspired by my great experience with the Metabones Micro 4/3 Speedbooster for Nikon that I had on the BMPCC, I bought the micro 4/3 mount for the Bolex and transitioned all of my Nikon glass over to it. This turned out to be a great decision, because the Bolex is a real pain in the ass in low light, and the speedbooster is a real lifesaver when combined with relatively fast lenses. Plus, Nikon has a great catalogue of vintage lenses to play with, so I still get the fun of seeing what old glass looks like on such a filmic camera.
The screen on the Bolex requires an external monitor, so I went basic with the Lilliput 668 GL. It gets the job done, but eventually I'd like to upgrade to the Zacuto Z-Finder or something along those lines.
The battery on the Bolex is built-in and doesn't last particularly long. I bought the Switchtronix Powerbase with the camera and haven't looked back since. Being used to switching batteries in and out constantly on DSLRs and the BMPCC, I love having a battery pack that has powered 12-hour shoots with lots of room to spare. I will run out of the 512 GB of storage on this thing before I run out of battery life.
On the storage note, the Bolex shoots huge RAW files and has forced me to really step up my file management game (and buy a few more terabytes in external hard drives). It's a hurdle that hasn't been to difficult to clear, yet...
What's Next?
Having used this camera on a few paid DP gigs, a comedy sketch, and a music video, I'm very excited about the things I'm going to be able to do with the Bolex in the future. It has been even more creatively inspiring than I had hoped and its limitations have already forced me to become a better filmmaker in a number of ways. I will be sharing more about the camera, along with videos I have taken with it, soon.
Feel free to comment below and stay tuned for more about my experiences with the Digital Bolex D16.

I've tried looking through all of the documentation but I cannot find anywhere what the total workgroup allowable count is for both a standalone E4 system and also a system with the System Director Application (with 3 E4 units). Is there a maximum?
Anyone know?
Are you asking about Storage Groups? Each Media Pack can be
its own storage group so an embedded system would support 4 and system with a
SDA would support 48.
This is on page 14 of the readme.
-- Bob Russo Post-Production Workflow Manager - NFL Films
I fear I may have used the term Workgroup where I meant to use Workspace.
I'm curious how many workspaces I can create. At the moment I have one E4 system with two Media Packs making up one Storage Group. I have 55 Workgroups. I see our facility needing over 100 workspaces before too long. I'm upgrading this summer to a much larger system and am hoping after installing an SDA I can create up to several hundred Workspaces.
Any NEXIS system supports 1024 workspaces. This is listed in
the Readme on page 15. This is something we're looking to increase.

A mesmerizing novel about memory, privacy, fear, and what happens when our past catches up with us.
After a decade living in England, Jeremy O'Keefe returns to New York, where he has been hired as a professor of German history at New York University. Though comfortable in his new life, and happy to be near his daughter once again, Jeremy continues to feel the quiet pangs of loneliness. Walking through the city at night, it's as though he could disappear and no one would even notice.
But soon, Jeremy's life begins taking strange turns: boxes containing records of his online activity are delivered to his apartment, a young man seems to be following him, and his elderly mother receives anonymous phone calls slandering her son. Why, he wonders, would anyone want to watch him so closely, and, even more upsetting, why would they alert him to the fact that he was being watched?
As Jeremy takes stock of the entanglements that marked his years abroad, he wonders if he has unwittingly committed a crime so serious that he might soon be faced with his own denaturalization. Moving towards a shattering reassessment of what it means to be free in a time of ever more intrusive surveillance, Jeremy is forced to ask himself whether he is 'no one', as he believes, or a traitor not just to his country but to everyone around him.

text: I thought I would add to my "of the week" series. This time it is a YouTube clip of the week. This clip has been my favourite for a very long time. It is a clip of Stacy Westfall and her mare Wizards Baby Doll in a reining competition that she dedicated to her father who passed away just a few days before. It is very moving and always brings a bit of a tear to my eye. If you look closely you can see that she is riding without a saddle and bridle. This is the sort of communication and bond that all of us aspire to with our horses. Enjoy

Notwithstanding the way that we rely on upon helpful authorities to recoup and recovery us, sometimes they don't give the thought we require and merit. Things we decried in the later past, for instance the capacity to walk, eat up, or grab a living, could be taken away when a part of the medicinal calling gives an omission. Medicinal thoughtlessness lawsuits hold masters, support, recovering centers, and helpful staff careful when they don't furnish the best possible standard of expectant thought to patients.

Koru is the Maori word for "bight" or "loop" and refers to new shoots of the silver fern. The spiral-shaped koru design is derived from this unfolding silver fern frond. The circular movement towards an inner coil refers to 'going back to the beginning'. The unfurling frond itself is symbolic for a new life, new beginnings, and hope.
The Koru is hand carved out of authentic Sono wood that is indigenous to Indonesia. Sono wood is the foundation of many Indonesian villages and houses because of its abundance and more importantly, it is naturally termite resistant.
The Koru represents Prosperity and Good Fortune for New Beginnings.

I've been behind on my blog posts lately, but there is a good reason! I find displaying photos on Facebook is easier because I can include full albums instead of just one or two shots. Also, it gets a little repetitive doing both each time. I'll keep updating my blog periodically, but if you wanted to see more please check out my Facebook page.
And for the full story behind this grape hyacinth field…check out the album and explanation here. :)

Well the mockingbirds have all left the nest! I feel a great sense of relief because it took lot of mental energy to stop myself from looking at them over and over. I limited my peeks to 3, and got this photo the last time I looked on Saturday (zoom shot). What a thrill to watch them from the beginning. I hope they sing in the yard all summer. :)

This is major news. Twelve years ago this spring, after cooking a huge dish of Citrus Salmon, I planted seeds from 40 lemons. It was a ridiculous sight, there were literally cups of potting soil on every surface of my apartment.
After all this time only three seeds made it to full-grown trees, but this past weekend the very first blossom appeared. I'm out of my mind with excitement. Life's little miracles…

The other day my dad came over and helped me winterize the chicken coop. When I say "help" I mean he worked on the chicken coop while I was inside baking him an apple pie. My dad's payment terms are usually restricted to baked goods, but this time I also threw in a dozen fresh eggs – the fruits of his labor. Thanks Dad! :)
I hope you have a great weekend. Swing by the Brooklyn Flea if you're in the area, I'll be there selling some holiday stuff…
