A Design Entrepreneur
"If you can't think in business terms, understand what opportunities are beyond and above, it's difficult to give yourself a context."
Benjamin, what does it mean to you being a design entrepreneur than being a designer. This is how you call yourself after establishing Layer Design Agency.
For me everything is about the reason why you design. I think if you are just a designer, you can't think in an entrepreneurial way. If you can't think in business terms, understand what opportunities are beyond and above, if you are just creating something with better functional form, it's difficult to give yourself a context. Context is everything. It is about understanding why you are doing things, why people are going to buy it, what business it is going to create and how it's going to make a more successful business. It's very difficult to be a designer without these kinds of things. All these things mean that you are an entrepreneur. The reason that we are talking entrepreneurial, as well as design terms, is because design is a tool to make things better, to create more efficient and effective businesses, to prove the quality of life of people. All of this needs an entrepreneurial spirit just as a designer.

As this years Istanbul Design Biennial acclaims that design always presents itself as serving the human but its real ambition can be redesigning the human. What is your opinion about that?
I don't think we can redesign human but you can certainly redesign big shifts, macro shifts in the way that we operate. This is something that every designer is influenced. It is ultimately difficult to control everything in order to really change those things on such a ground scale. I think attitudes always need redesigning, approach always needs rethinking and points of view always needs developing.
As designers, it is our job to consider about them in an incremental and smaller way with an approach to the singular objects or way you create systems and systems thinking would always deliver a larger behaviour change than it will stand alone as products. For me it's about thinking elastically. Thinking on more than just a single piece of hardware and the approach, the understanding and trying to grab that all up is enough that people will consume. It won't alienate people. It is really important. You have to bring people with you if you will make such big changes. That is related to awareness and education as well.

What can you say about young generation designers' behaviours? Their courage or lack of knowledge about establishing a studio as soon as they graduate? Or vice versa….
I think it's beneficial to learn as much you can for as long as you can before you start thinking about setting up your own agency. For me that involves working for a few years and studying for a length of time. My approach is through that learning and being around tools that will define what you might want to do as an individual. All those approaches of you to set up a business is about solving a problem and it's less about design. It's more about capitalising an opportunity. For me that's a different approach. I don't think you need to surely be a designer to do that. Perhaps you end up being more successful if you are not. My point of view is that young designers should be approaching things and they shouldn't be paying attention to lots of magazines telling them lots of silly things about furnitures. An incredible thing to do straight away is putting context into their own routes. I think designers have responsibility to solve problems and create conversations around things that need talking about.

I would like to talk about 3D printed wheelchair GO, Layer released this year. It seems to me that this a product really reflects the way you and Layer work.
This project touches on lots of different ways that we work in the studio. It involves a lot of research like talking to people, understanding the market, thinking about what opportunities there are through all of our insights and learnings. It also represents quite a long development in terms of really trying to simplify and engineer something that's effective but also visually efficient and really communicates this high performance.
GO Chair, produced with 3D printers for Materialise.
I think it is a great combination of being stylish and functional. Lastly we deal with a lot of emerging and cutting edge material technology. For us it is also about that, a digital aspect in terms of how people computationally use a product like this and utilizes a material technology. We think 3D printing answers a lot of the problems we discovered in the research face like making something to reduce injury, more comfortable, made to measure, just for you, really helping you on a daily basis.

I just bought a Dell Diminsion 4600 from a yard sale for $5.00. On the outside of the case was a tag that says Windows XP Professional so I assumed that XP was already installed. When I took the PC home and started it up Windows 7 Ultimate booted up.
My question is I want to remove the hard drive that has the Win 7 on it and keep it for later but for now I want to put in a new hard drive and install XP Pro. Am I going to have any problems doing this; like maybe driver issues, for example, or anything else?

Lambeth: Something Old, Something New
A long, long time ago, in a galaxy of reality far, far away, I was once a labor-delivery room nurse. My shift was characterized by long periods of anticipation and boredom, punctuated by intense moments of activity.
A very short while ago, in a galaxy of reality which seemed further away than it actually was, I was at the Lambeth Conference 2008 in Canterbury, England. My time there often felt very much like my shift in the labor-delivery room.
Our Presiding Bishop believes that something new is about to be born in the Anglican Communion. While she may be right, that was not exactly my experience or perspective. Rather, it felt to me as if some things very old and most ancient were struggling to stay alive.
What things, you ask?
Patriarchy. Hierarchy. Sexism. The certainty that comes with the traditional cultural paradigm, the structure that supports it and the system which enables it.
The Indaba Groups, from the South African term for "doing business" proved, for the most part, to promote "business as usual". The prelates in our church spent much of their time learning what it means to be a bishop in the Anglican Communion from a variety of personal perspectives and worldviews.
I suppose that is, in and of itself, not a bad thing, especially if it was as necessary, as the Archbishop of Canterbury and his planning team apparently determined that it, in fact, was.
It does, however, beg the question, "Why?"
In the tediously long hours of anticipation and boredom, I had some time to consider this question. The short answer is that when we elect or, as in the case of some provinces, appoint a bishop in the church, I think we forget ourselves, what it means to be a bishop in and of the Church. We forget our own catholicity at our own peril.
Too often, we elect or appoint leaders who will make us feel good locally, who won't rock the board. We want someone who is strong, but not necessarily courageous. We want someone who is articulate, but not necessarily outspoken. We like to think we have elected a prophet, but woe be unto the bishop who actions are considered 'prophetic."
We forget that, increasingly, a bishop is someone who will be a participant not only locally in our churches, or at the diocesan level or even nationally at General Convention, but internationally on the world stage of the global Anglican Communion.
Suddenly, the stakes of our actions in electing spiritual leaders in the church have become almost as high as electing the political leaders of our government.
Let those who have ears, hear.
Which brings me to an insight about Lambeth in general and the Church in particular: I think we, in the Episcopal Church and in the Anglican Communion, are living out in microcosm the tensions the world knows as globalization.
One of the highlights at Lambeth was listening to Sir Jonathan Sachs, Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth, UK. An orthodox (but not in the sense that many Anglicans use that term) Jew, he is very concerned about the impact of the market-driven nature of communities around the world – from the most remote citizen in a primitive culture to the individual person in the pew in churches, mosques, temples, and synagogues in the sophisticated cities of the Western world.
He argues that globalization is 'profoundly destabilizing' and that organized religion can provide identity and meaning, which lead not only to the stabilizing development of moral and ethical codes of behavior, but also to the development of sacred covenants of faith verses fate (this was the topic of his presentation to the Primates and Bishops which you can read about here.)
In his book, The Dignity of Difference, he writes, "If we are to live in close proximity to difference, as in a global age we do, we will need more than a code of rights, more even than mere tolerance. We will need to understand that just as the natural environment depends on biodiversity, so the human environment depends on cultural diversity, because no one creed has a monopoly on spiritual truth; no one civilization encompasses all the spiritual, ethical and artistic expressions of mankind."
Not only do bishops need to hear this from and about their own cultural and spiritual contexts, so do we who elect and/or influence the appointment of these spiritual leaders of our Christian communities need to be mindful of the need and respect for diversity in our own church, our Communion, our world.
One thing has become very clear to me, post Lambeth: something that is struggling to stay alive must die in order that something new can emerge and have life. It will require patience, as it will take some time – perhaps another decade or so – which will produce long moments of institutional boredom and anticipation.
In my experience, the institutional church never does well with boredom and anticipation, especially in times of cultural anxiety. We always end up using Scripture as a political football (see cartoon above).
Mostly it will take what Rabbi Sachs calls a "spirit of generosity" to make room for others who are different.
The good Rabbi didn't say that we must 'change for others'. He said that we will need to 'make room for others'. That doesn't sound like anything vaguely familiar to patriarchy, hierarchy or sexism to me.
It sounds more like life on a galaxy that is moving closer and closer to becoming our present reality.
Are we ready for that?
If Lambeth is any indication, I'd have to repeat a phrase we sometimes used in the labor and delivery room: "Ready or not, here it comes."

Going on two years ago, Bishop Griswald described to a break out at our diocesan convention how different we are from our British cousins. He offered two little examples:
When he attended one meeting in England, he was asked by NT Wright why he had not simply vetoed the election of Gene Robinson. His explanation, that the presiding bishop does not have veto powers was met with amazement.
In conversation at one of the many meetings, he was told that in England,'certain subjects' ie homosexual clergy, are simply not discussed and he should keep them out of the HoB conversation. When he finished laughing he told the observed that all he had to do to assure a topic's place on the agenda was say it was not to be discussed.
I think "Indaba" whatever it means in South Africa, meant to Dr. Williams "getting the bloody yanks to act like real bishops and shut up the radicals!" In that context, his final address and 'pastoral letter' almost make sense. they are the result of his desire to move the bishops into being what he thinks they should be - not leaders but directors. His use of "Anglican Church" where a prior less elitist archbishop might say, "Anglican Communion" also make sense in context.
Something indeed has to die. It wont be sexism, or homophobia. Those evils will always I fear be with us. But the institutional expression of them is what we will see die as something new is born. With them, I fear, will die the "Anglican Communion" as Dr. Williams envisions it: not a communion but a church. That model, with the (white) male or occaisional (acceptably grateful) female in front directing the obedient laity is simply not going to survive.
It is I think time to build. Not a hierarchy as much as that appeals to our British would be overlords and non-global Southern purists but rather a web of relationships.
This is going to be tough on archbishops who have climbed over the hopes, and vocations of so many to get their titles, but the world is no longer open to pyramids. It is a world of webs, flat structures based on relationships.

Greetings, and welcome back from vacation.
This has nothing to do with Lambeth but rather is a comment on your "Mass Card" post over on HOBD. Not being a member I chose this way to pass on my information.
At Trinity Memorial we pray for the dying, corporately on Sunday in their final days and weeks, by name during the prayers for the people.
After their deaths, we pray for the repose of thier souls during that section of the prayers for the people while offring thanks for their lives and ministry. This is usually for three weeks to make sure many members know of their passing. We also do an e-mail notice to the list.
We also have memorials including flowers, etc. Recently memorials have ranged from new fair linens to the restoration of the Trasnfiguration Window.
We don't offer Memorial Cards, but every funeral director in the community does. I would estimate that perhaps a third of the Funeral or Memorial Services place the cards either in the pews or insert them in the programs.
Hope this helps.

Owch. That's not very polite. Nor, I think, is it fair on an archbishop who is trying to preserve some shred of unity in a Communion at each others' throats. Nor the Archbishop of York. I couldn't speak for any of the others, though your PB seems like a woman with her head screwed on right.
Ok, not all of the indaba groups were helpful, but some made real progress in listening to each other. And that is what they were for, really. The differences between the sides of the debate are not insurmountable, but they are huge. And they will get nowhere if labels are slapped on hither and thither: "godless liberals", "homophobes", "heretics", "throwbacks". I'm no great lover of GAFCON, but it occurs to me that the only way we're going to get through is to show them all the love we can muster by the grace of God.
God only knows what will become of us, but He knows His business. "Love your enemies", He said. That includes those who define you as the enemy, regardless of your common heritage.
Relationships are important, both in terms of our relationships individually and corporately to God, and to each other. I agree entirely. Hence the need for all the grace, because we're people and we kinda suck sometimes.
British people are different to Americans. This is hardly news, I'm afraid. For example, the phrase, "this great country" will rouse wave upon wave of apathy in England, Northern Ireland, and probably Scotland and Wales as well.
You're not bloody Yanks to us. You're our brothers and sisters in Christ, and we love you, even if we don't always agree with you. Same goes for all the GAFCONites. I mean, at least you came to Lambeth. You engaged. You're going to fight for change in the context you've been given. And that's a wonderful and terrible thing.

Thanks for writing, Exegesis Fairy - and where where you when I was learning to do exegesis in seminary? I prayed to you a lot but you never showed up! ;~)
Here's the thing, EF - well, two things, actually:
The first is that to LGBT people (well, I can only speak for Americans), "polite" or not, it HAS felt like +++Himself and lots of other Archbishops have climbed over the hopes and vocations of so many of us. Indeed, what they've done is not only not polite, it's hurtful and antithetical to what I know of Jesus, whose sacred body we say we are as the Church.
The second is that I do believe the assumption of those who read and leave comments on this blog is that Americans are reading this, so when we use phrases like "this great country /church of ours," we don't mean to bore you; rather, we are talking amongst ourselves.
I can agree with almost everything else you write. It is a matter of grace, isn't it?
One final note: I was absolutely aghast and appalled by the level of assumed male privilege and outright misogyny displayed in UK - even among those who claimed to be part of the "inclusive church" network. No clue. Even the lesbians looked like Bambi in the headlights when some of the Americans started to call them on it.
I found it astonishing when I wasn't completely appalled and then, angry.
You don't have to defend that or agree with it. Just my observation, is all.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see you again. And this time, when I'm praying for help during an exegesis, please respond ;~>

I'm so sorry for that. I have to say, I plead ignorance: being of the female persuasion, I get a bit of the 'you? Priesthood? Nah...come back when you're male', but never from the clergy.
"The second is that I do believe the assumption of those who read and leave comments on this blog is that Americans are reading this, so when we use phrases like "this great country /church of ours," we don't mean to bore you; rather, we are talking amongst ourselves."
No no, this wasn't at all in response to you guys, it was an example I thought of because I was listening to Sarah Palin and thought, "You'd never get away with that over here. Post Tony Blair we expect your speech to have CONTENT, not just yammer about how great the country is." Also, British people like to talk about how BAD things are. We're constitutionally grumpy.

Really? Goodness. You go to all the best parties, clearly! Can you give an example to help me understand what you mean?

An example, EF? Well, let's start with something really simple. Like, the Trinitarian formula at the end of the Psalms.
Rather than "Glory be to the Father, and the Son and Holy Spirit," . . . how about something like, "Glory to the holy and undivided Trinity, one God, as it was in the beginning, is now and will be forever, Amen."
All of the beautiful cadence for chanting, none of the exclusion.
But, what about those pesky Psalms? Well, simple - especially for those who use "The Kings Language" but have Queens on your thrones.
Change "Kingdom" to "Realm", "King" to "Ruler" or "Sovreign" and "Lord" to "Holy One."
Instead of addressing God in the third person, how about addressing God directly in the first person singular? Avoids all that unnecessary gender-specific "he, he, he."
See? Not only easy, but fairly painless. More importantly, it avoids inflicting pain on those who feel excluded by "traditional" language and makes an important statement about justice and inclusion.
And, no, alas! I don't go to all the best parties, but I always have a grand time wherever I go. Which is probably why I don't get invited to all the best parties.
- Thu Sep 04, 05:45:00 PM
Easy? Yup.
Theologically dodgy? Not in the slightest.
Why aren't we doing this? Easy: (all together now) "We've always done it this way". Or if you're into that sort of thing: "It's the language in the Bible, it's the language we use." (mumblemumblebadtranslation mumblemumbleinaccurateexegesis mumble. Me? No, didn't say a thing.
Then again, I have never been part of anything that was called 'inclusive church' in the C of E. It sounds akin to the concept of radical welcome (somewhat disparaged and I think, "err...isn't that what Jesus did?"). Is it a similar principle? (Be proud: you're educating the masses. Well, this mass.)
Then again, a lot of the churches I've been to DO mostly address God in the first person, are light on liturgy of the king/lord variety, and generally focus on people and Doing Good and Personal Relationship (I'm quite addicted to Random Capitalisation, apologies) with God. Oh, and the Bride of Christ metaphor. Well, that was just the one.
Unfortunately the church seems to lag far behind the world in some things. I mean, it has the advantage that when we get something we know it has staying power (good or bad), but the intervening decades are 'Argh! I will beat you with a Clue By Four!'
We'll get there. In the meantime we're going to need some love.
But hey, I hear we know Someone who can help with that...
And in the meantime, let's skip the best parties. I'm a dangerous heretic, they're not going to invite me, and the 'best' ones are the dull ones anyway. :)

Cause of Action for Intentional Infliction of Emotional
Distress – Collection of amounts due under a loan or restructuring a
loan in a way that remains difficult for the borrower to repay is not
"outrageous" conduct. Price v. Wells Fargo Bank, 213 Cal. App. 3d
465, 486 (1989). Perhaps its when a Marshall is making a 72 year old woman disrobe
when he is evicting the woman. She asks if she can get some cloths on and he watches as
she disrobes to put on her cloths. All this on behalf of the bank. Maybe that's emotional distress.
I don't mean to be salacious but this happened to a client of mine.

Plato's Socratic dialogue 'Ion' has Socrates confront a Homeric rhapsode (not to be confused with a Bohemian Rhapsody) about his trade. Socrates' issue is one of inspiration versus expertise. So, when Ion performs the role of a military general, does he possess the expertise of a general, or does he merely fool the audience into believing that he possesses this expertise? Ion struggles with the distinction ('Ion', Early Socratic Dialogues by Plato, Trevor J. Saunders (trans.), Penguin, London, 2005):
SOCRATES: And when you make a judgement about military matters, do you judge in virtue of your skill in generalship, or in virtue of the skill that makes you a good rhapsode?
ION: There's no difference, so far as I can see.
SOCRATES: No difference? How on earth can you say that? Are you saying that the skill of a rhapsode and the skill of a general are one skill, or two?
ION: One, I think.
SOCRATES: So, anyone who's a good rhapsode is in fact a good general too?
ION: Certainly, Socrates.
SOCRATES: So too, then, anyone who is in fact a good general is also a good rhapsode?
ION: No, that's not my view.
Some context might be necessary but I'm not going to expound at great length on Plato's views on the arts (I could. I'd like to. In fact, I never seem to get the opportunity to chat about this). Needless to say, Saunders, in his introduction, sums up this dialogue (notoriously protean for some scholars) thus:
The question it poses is: 'Do poets know what they are talking about?' Socrates, clearly, thinks the answer is 'no';
As a thriller writer, this dialogue made my skin itch. To be gripped by the madness of the Muses while pounding on the keyboard is euphoric, but it's dangerous. Reality intrudes upon every setting, every character, every action sequence, and every little detail. A story has to obey the rules of the physical universe, the plot has to be plausible, the characters have to be relatable, and the events have to unfold realistically. This is what an author owes a reader. And this requires research.
Research means libraries and books, highlighters and notepads with illegible writing. But research doesn't always nail the details, and details are important. If only there were some device in existence, an oracle of sorts; a question is asked and an answer provided. Imagine that. Just type in a question and an answer appears. Well, there is an oracle, and it's not as cryptic as the one in Delphi. To find out what it is, you're going to have to follow this link to the Pantera Press blog. I'll meet you there.

The Birther Syndrome--Real or False?
Mr. Obama is our 44th President. He will remain so until at least January, 2013, if not until, January 2017. The resurgent "Birther" syndrome has at its base, the provisions in our Constitution that the President must be a natural born citizen. Obama's Certificate of Live Birth from Hawaii is set forth to answer this requirement.
No one in any capacity has been able to prove otherwise, despite all manner of lawsuits or requests for information. Whether the truth lies in Hawaii or Kenya, we will still have Obama as President until his terms run out. This is what we must deal with today.
Should the truth lie in Kenya, it would undoubtedly take years and years of litigation to reach some kind of conclusion and corrective actions. Meanwhile, there is a fine opportunity to make the issue moot by simply not reelecting him to office in 2012.

Sergio may wear Green Jacket at wedding
As his triumphal tour continues
Words: John Dean Photography: Getty Images
Sergio appeared on the "The Today Show" in New York City and was asked by co–host Savannah Guthrie, if Sergio was thinking of wearing his newly won Green Jacket at this wedding.
"You're not the first one to ask that," Garcia told Guthrie. "We've been talking about it, and it hasn't been decided yet. But it's a big possibility."
In the interview he also said: "I think it was just belief, simple as that. I said it all week. I was very, very calm throughout the whole week. Saturday probably was the only day I was a little more nervous, because of the past. And Sunday it's the calmest I felt almost in any tournament, even though I was playing for a green jacket. It was just an amazing feeling throughout the whole day."
Garcia, who will not play again until next month's Players Championship (May 11–14) in Florida, also commenting on the text that fellow Spaniard Jose Maria Olazabal left for him the day before the tournament.
"He said, 'I think you're one of the best golfers that's ever been out there. It's such a pleasure for me to call you my friend. Just go out there this week, do what you know how to do, just be yourself.'
"And he said, 'I'm not sharing my locker (in Augusta National's upstairs Champions Locker Room) with anyone at the moment, and I want to share it with you. So I hope that you have an amazing week and next year we can be together up here.' That was really cool."
Garcia also said that when he opened the closet in his hotel room and saw the green jacket hanging there, just what he has accomplished began to sink in.
Said Garcia, "It doesn't sound nice. It sounds amazing. It's a dream come true. … When I opened the closet and saw the jacket in there, it definitely brought a huge smile to my face."
Sergio also opened the New York Stock Exchange as his triumphant tour continued.

As you probably know, Custer Consulting has had a working relationship with Henderson Ventures for the past two decades. Some of the data and forecasts in the Henderson Electronic Market Forecast Quarterly (HEMFQ) reports have periodically appeared in our own publications. Since Ed Henderson has recently announced his retirement, he has authorized Custer Consulting Group to offer the final HEMFQ Report, which was delivered to Ed's clients this month.
The March HEMFQ Report contains economic and electronic industry forecasts from 2014 through 2021. Projections include 45 countries and regions. Forecasts of electronic equipment production include the following categories for each geographical entity:
Total equipment
Business and Retail
Consumer electronics
Computer equipment
Military hardware
Industrial equipment
Automotive electronics
Dollar values and growth rates, along with production shares for each country, region and the world totals are provided for each equipment category on a single page in chapter 2. A "reverse sort" is contained in Chapter 3 wherein a regional breakdown of each equipment category Is provided.
To better define the contents of the March HEMFQ I have attached excerpts from that report. The Management Perspectives excerpts essentially contain chapter 1 of the full March HEMFQ. This report summary is suitable for distribution to senior management. Page 2-1 shows the regional categories covered in Chapter 2.
The HEMFQ information allows clients to compare their own company's performance against specific geographical and hardware combinations.

Silvanus Cobb
This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (November 2012) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Silvanus Cobb (Sylvanus Cobb) (b. Plymouth, New England in 1709 - d. Havana, 1762 ) was a Massachusetts provincial army captain and later naval commander who fought for the British primarily in Nova Scotia in the 1740s and 1750s.
King George's War[edit]
During King George's War, Cobb was commissioned captain of a company in Col. Shubael Gorham's 7th Massachusetts provincial infantry regiment, also known as "the whaleboat regiment" because so many of its members were employed in the Cape Cod / Nantucket whaling industry and because of the whaleboats the regiment used during water-borne operations. The force was recruited from among the populations of Plymouth, Barnstable and Bristol counties in southeastern Massachusetts in 1745 for the Expedition against Louisbourg. Gorham's regiment made up the majority of men who attacked the island battery in Louisbourg Harbor during the siege—suffering significant casualties in a series of failed amphibious assaults. Cobb probably took part in some or all of these attacks. He later commanded another provincial company stationed at the Annapolis Royal garrison at Fort Anne in Nova Scotia in 1746-47, and was later captain of a small armed vessel based there. The vessel was employed by the British government to cruise in the Bay of Fundy in 1747-48. The vessel was also often used as a transport and support vessel for Gorham's Rangers.
Father Le Loutre's War[edit]
During Father Le Loutre's War, after the establishment of the Government in Chebucto in 1749. Cobb's vessel became part of Captain John Rous's sea militia which helped keep open communications along the coast of Nova Scotia and with New England. Governor Edward Cornwallis described Cobb as a settler who "knows every Harbour and every Creek in the Bay [of Fundy], a man fit for any bold enterprise." Cobb's vessel was employed in taking troops and supplies to Fort Anne (Annapolis Royal), Fort Edward (Windsor), Fort Lawrence (near Amherst), and the Saint John River, and in convoying transports which carried German settlers to found the town of Lunenburg in 1753. In the winters of 1753, 1754, 1755, and 1756 he was ordered to Chignecto with stores for the garrison and remained there each year till spring. Cobb had a house and farm near Fort Lawrence where he lived with his wife and daughter.[1]
In April 1755, while searching for a wrecked vessel at Port La Tour, Cobb discovered the French schooner Marguerite (Margarett), laden with provisions, guns, and other military stores from Louisbourg destined for French troops on the Saint John River. He returned to Halifax with the news and was ordered by Governor Charles Lawrence to blockade the harbour until Captain William Kensey (MacKenzie?) arrived in the warship Vulture, and then to assist Kensey in capturing the French prize.[1]
French and Indian War[edit]
During the French and Indian War (the North American Theatre of the Seven Years' War), Cobb served at the second siege of Louisburgh under Boscowen and Amherst in 1758, and was chosen by General Monckton to conduct General Wolfe to a reconnaissance of the fortress previous to its capture.[2] Afterward he participated in the St. John River Campaign and the Petitcodiac River Campaign.
Capt Cobb returned to Plymouth after the campaign and moved, with his family, to Liverpool, Nova Scotia where he is said to have built a house. Previous to the year 1755, he had a house at Chignecto, where he occasionally resided in winter. Silvanus Cobb was an original proprietor of the town. In 1759 Capt. Cobb became a proprietor of the new township of Liverpool. Liverpool township was to run from Cape Sable Island to Port Medway and continuing 14 miles inland from the shore. Sylvanus transported many of the other original residents to the new settlement. On July 1, 1760, at the first meeting of the proprietors, Capt. Cobb made a petition to be granted a piece of land to build a house and a wharf. The land was granted and the house was built at the foot of present-day Wolf street. There is a park and monument to Cobb at the site of his original home which was built from materials he transported from New England.
He was afterwards employed in the Expedition against Havana in 1762, where he died of the epidemic which there prevailed, expressing his regret that he had not met a soldier's death at the cannon's mouth. He left an only daughter, who married Col. William Freeman, of Liverpool, N. S. The descendants of Mrs. Freeman are numerous in Queen's County. His younger brother, Jabez Cobb, also settled at Liverpool and left descendants.[3]

Waiting Sucks/
Waiting sucks. Waiting rooms sucks.
It's especially sucky for a highly impatient person like myself.
So I sit here with my husband and hurry up and wait.
And it's the not knowing that makes me anxious. Is my child okay? Are there complications?
"Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life." Proverbs 13:12
We sit and eat.
We sit and chat.
We sit and laugh.
We sit and scroll through our cell phones.
And just below the surface, we both are concerned about our baby boy.
Then when we aren't even looking, we hear the news that all is well. Our baby is in recovery. The procedure done and behind us.
Concern and worry give way to sighs of relief and smiles.
We never knew that parenting would bring us such angst over a common outpatient procedure.
But when your baby is whisked away to an operating room for what is common and routine, it suddenly seems much bigger than that and makes you appreciate little things like health and insurance and life.
Thanking God for being on the other side of waiting and for desires fulfilled.

Upcoming CLASSES at Vacaville Art Gallery
To keep informed about my classes, please join my VAG Classes group
I am now teaching Acrylic pouring classes at our local Art Gallery in Vacaville. As this year continues, I will be working on putting together even more fun classes, not just acrylic pouring… Fun stuff coming up, I promise!
FYI……. at this point in time, these classes are geared for adults. Due to the use of torches and other potentially hazardous materials, I am only allowing adults. Perhaps in the summer, I will put together a kids acrylic pouring class.
Magical Acrylic Pours!
…..see photos below for the Feb class…..
Loation: Vacaville Art Gallery
Date: May 12th 2018
Time: 10-2 pm,
Class Fee: $20 to be paid prior to class
$20 materials fee to be paid to instructor in class
Level: beginner, first class for learning acrylic pouring
What is all this hype about acrylic pouring you say??? Well, it's fun, it's messy and it's magical!
Learn how to create your own magical acrylic pour with just a few simple steps. Plan to get messy and just let loose! There are a TON of videos out there, but why watch a video when you can create your own! Metallic paints are a must, and glitter is a plus! Come join Chris, bring your canvas (s), a handful of paints, an apron, a few other items listed below along with your wild imagination!
To see more of her acrylic pours, check out her portfolio on https://www.wingsnscales.com/glittery/graphic-portfolio/
Items to bring:
- Canvas – no larger than 9×12, bring more than one if you want but keep in mind these will be very wet when you go home, and you will need a tin or two tins large enough to contain them.
- 5 to 8 colors of acrylic paint, any brand will do, even the cheap stuff works (metallic and glitter paints work great too!)
- An apron
- Paper towels
- A disposable tin pan large enough to fit the size of your canvas with some space around it so you can pick up the canvas easily.
Here is the link to some of the basic supplies I use in class.
I will be supplying a torch, silicone spray, gloves, baby wipes, cups, and a few other items you may need or want to try.
Contact Chris by email for any questions you might have, firstname.lastname@example.com

Last weekend we found ourselves with no planned activities! Completely unacceptable for Unfiltered Adventure. When we don't have plans, we typically don't know what to do with ourselves...so, we made last minute plans! Friday evening the temperature finally dropped below 90 so we decided to head downtown to a place we all have wanted to try: SoT. Unfortunately, that plan fell through due to a bad wreck causing the highway to be shut down (thankfully only one injury and no fatalities were reported!). We hope to make it downtown this upcoming weekend so check back next week for our recap! Thankfully, we are all swift thinkers and moved our happy hour to KC Bier Co. You may remember that we visited this place for my birthday! Billy and Bobby joined in on the fun and we sipped some Hefeweizen on the patio. We caught each other up on our week, had some laughs, and even somehow got to planning a modern day "The Dating Game" for the single UA ladies and some poor, unlucky resident of Andrea's! Cheers to that embarrassment!!
Saturday we ventured out to KC Wine Co to celebrate National Mutt Day! KC Wine Co hosted a Mutts & Merlot event outside where you could bring your dog and enjoy wine flights, snacks, games, and live music. I'd never been to this winery and was excited to check it out. They have a large outdoor area with picnic tables, yard games, and a stage for live music. We didn't manage to do wine flights or drink Merlot, but we certainly entertained ourselves with our new friends Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Cayuga White!
The actual winery looks like a half barrel and is beautiful inside. The indoor space is referred to as The Barrel Room and houses the tasting room and can accommodate private parties up to 100 people. It would be a fantastic space for a wedding or bridal shower. Maybe if The Dating Game works out...
A few of the yard games included chipping golf balls in the vineyard, giant chess, washers, bags and giant Yahtzee. What a fun way to spend a gorgeous day outside laughing with friends and listening to live music!!
And, we can't forget about the "mutt" part of the event. Between the four of us, we have 5 dogs and were able to get them all together for a playdate! They all did so well on their leashes and with the other dogs and managed to not tangle themselves up too much (they usually get to play freely in our back yards!).
These five quite possibly could be "The five best friends that anyone could have". I hope you sang that the way I did when I wrote it! Here are a few more pics of the pups...and us! Hope you have a fantastic week and we'll be back next week with more fun KC experiences!
Cheers! ~Kristi

The Texas wine industry has advanced by leaps and bounds in the last decade. A true indigenous industry has emerged, founded on 100% Texas grapes, and vinified as Texas wine. There are early signs of success. The number of medals won by Texas wineries at out-of-state wine competitions now exceeds 150 annually (mainly at the two big California shows and the Finger Lakes wine competition). Grape acreage is increasing around 10% per year. And visitor numbers on the main Texas wine trail now make it the second most popular wine route in the United States.
But what accounts for this improvement in quality? Where is the industry located? What grapes are grown? In this event we hope to give you the full picture of the modern day Texas wine industry and indicate where it fits into the retail picture. And who knows, maybe "Texas Hill Country" will become as familiar a wine growing area to you as Napa Valley.
Seminar: An Overview of Texas Wine (11:00am – 12:00pm)
Walk Around Tasting (12:00pm – 4:00pm)
Tempranillo Blind Tasting (3:00pm – 4:00pm)
Participating Wineries:
Bar Z Winery
Bending Branch Winery
Eden Hill Vineyard
Fall Creek Vineyards
Hilmy Cellars
Lewis Wines
Llano Estacado Winery
Lost Draw Cellars
Messina Hof Winery
Pedernales Cellars
Spicewood Vineyards
Wedding Oak Winery
Westcave Cellars Winery
William Chris Vineyards

–——————– So uttama-adhikäri, it is not to be imitated. One must keep himself in the madhyama-adhikäri stage.

I am not trying for any advantage, or anything, but there are cheaper motors available than the Aquacraft 36-56-2030.

"Labels" - Commercial Spot
Client: Vancouver School of Healing Arts
The Vancouver School of Healing Arts (formerly Vancouver School of Bodywork and Massage) were looking for a way to showcase their amazing students and how inclusive and unique their programs are. After working with them for some time, I conducted interviews with students in which we discussed identity, labels, and how they felt safe and included in their programs.
The result was this spot, which shows off the school through those who know it best - the students.


text: The following degree project is written within the department of Information Technology at Uppsala University. The subject studied is the difference between academic user research and such user research performed by professionals at commercially driven companies. Academic's and professional's agendas, interests and approaches seem to differ and consequently a gap emerges. To perform a comparison between academically defined and practically defined user research a case study and a literature study were conducted. During the literature study three main academic approaches to perform user research were studied and summarized in a unified view. The case study was performed over 4 months at Spotify in the User Research team to gain insights into how user research is conducted in a commercially driven company. The degree project shows that academics and professionals can benefit from each other. For example, academics can integrate various mix methods to better understand design and concepts and base assumptions on more reliable data. Professionals can benefit from academics by adapting a similar systematic approach to perform user research and have a larger impact on the development.


text: We all slept extremely well in our hotel room. The beds weren't like some of the more fluffy, ultra-soft, sleeping in a cloud beds that we may have had in other hotels, but they were comfortable and we were all exhausted. Hilton Express also offers free breakfast and for a bare bones hotel, they are not bad. This hotel had an automatic pancake maker, like something I would see on a Jetson's cartoon, or a PeeWee Herman film. The kids were in awe and wanted one for the house, until they realized how long it took for one pancake to emerge. Then it started breaking down which caused great merriment amongst the family.We left our hotel to continue our trek to Wisconsin, with a quick side trip to the St. Louis Arch. My daughter is a huge fan of the Percy Jackson series of books written by Rick Riordan. The first book, The Lightning Thief, has the main character off on a series of adventures based off of Greek mythology. Trying to not give away too many spoilers here, one of his first stops is the St. Louis Arch where he meets up with Echidna. Not to be confused with Enchinada who, according to my son, is the god of spiciness and cheese.

Susan Boyle interview: 'It shows there's no such word as "can't"'
Directly before we meet, Susan Boyle's been drinking champagne, celebrating signing a new three-album deal. To do that, she's visiting Sony's London headquarters on a day trip from her home in Blackburn, West Lothian. It's a 12-hour round trip by train. Surely a woman worth an estimated £25 million could break up the journey with a night in a hotel?
But in-and-out is the way Boyle likes it: "I have a good balance, I come down and work and then go back to…" She names her address. It's not a mansion (she owns a "posh house" nearby, but her niece lives in it) but the pebbledashed house she grew up in, in the middle of a housing estate. "There are so many great memories there, my sister sneaking...

In the first 24 hours, Windows 10 has landed on over 14 million devices according to Microsoft. That would easily make Windows 10 one of the quickest adopted versions of Windows with reviews of the new flagship OS from Redmond being generally positive. I personally have installed it on both my primary PC and tablet (Toshiba Encore 2) and both have performed flawlessly. Indeed I would suggest the Tablet mode is a massively improved experience over Windows 8.1 for my Toshiba tablet.
Microsoft hosted launch events globally, mostly in their retail outlets here in the United States, and all indications are those were well attended.
In the Blogging Windows post, Microsoft also states that they have not yet fulfilled all of the reservations for Windows 10 that were made through the app on Windows 7 and 8.1 devices.
While we now have more than 14 million devices running Windows 10, we still have many more upgrades to go before we catch up to each of you that reserved your upgrade. Rest assured we are working 24×7 to continue the upgrade process and are prioritizing the quality of your upgrade experience over anything else.
The post goes on to state that for those with reservations, it could be a few days or weeks before you actually get it installed on your device. Microsoft is carefully rolling it out so they do not swamp their own services or the Internet backbone with Windows 10. Indeed, the release accounted for only 3-4% of Internet traffic on launch day, far less than the dire predictions. This is because Microsoft has thoughtfully and respectfully laid out a plan to get Windows 10 out without cause suffering for those who aren't using the platform.
Have you upgraded yet and if so what has been your experience? Leave a comment to share.

Motherwell residents will have the opportunity to work out all day, every day after PureGym announced it is to open a branch in the town.
Motherwell Shopping Centre owners Chester Properties have been trying to attract a client to take the top floor of the old Asda building, nearly a decade after the supermarket moved to Watson Street, and they have finally succeeded.
PureGym markets itself as 'the UK's leader in affordable fitness' and the new 17,512 sq ft facility in Brandon Parade South is expected to open over the summer with the creation of 20 jobs.
Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, it will be filled with over 220 pieces of equipment as well as offering over 50 free classes per week.
PureGym property director Angela Crawshaw said: "The PureGym Motherwell will provide local residents with a fully equipped gym that offers not only exceptional value for money at an affordable price, but membership without a contract that ties you in for a long period of time."
Chester Properties William Gear hopes PureGym will help with the ongoing strategy of bringing life to the centre at night.
He said: "We are delighted to welcome PureGym to Motherwell.
"We set ourselves the target of attracting a health-related or leisure service provider for this premium space, and PureGym fits the bill perfectly.
"They will help us achieve our strategic goal of bringing the shopping centre to life at night after normal shopping hours.
"PureGym will also make a significant contribution to the local economy with up to 20 new jobs, and the spin-off from the footfall they will generate."
With Pure Gym occupying the upper floor of the old Asda store the only part which remains un-let is the ground floor unit on the corner of Brandon Parade and the south car park.
However, the Times & Speaker understands this is currently under offer from an existing Motherwell business looking for bigger premises.
Meanwhile, the new £1.3 million KFC drive-thru restaurant is set to open on Saturday.
The restaurant, based in the south car park near the West Hamilton Street exit is serving up around 50 full and part-time jobs.
Motherwell South East and Ravenscraig councillor Gary O'Rorke will cut the ribbon at 10.30am and there will be celebrations all day including a candy floss amchine and children's entertainments.
