Welcome to Fairfield - Orientation 2018
by Raelee Toh Hsuan Hui (Sec 4E)
Fairfield warmly welcomed the Secondary One students through an enthralling orientation programme from 2 to 5 January 2018. The purposeful and fun-filled annual programme was meticulously planned and executed by the Upper Secondary Student Leaders and teachers. This enriching event provided many opportunities for the Secondary One students to forge new bonds with their classmates and familiarise themselves with the surroundings they will be in for the next 4 or 5 years.
The theme for this year's orientation is 'Constellation'. It signifies the coming together of the new Secondary 1 students like stars, where they can help one another shine and forge stronger bonds to form beautiful patterns on the celestial night sky.
The Secondary One students were taken through a series of dry and wet games, which required them to work together regardless of their diverse backgrounds and previous primary schools. These games indeed helped the students to foster a sense of belonging and unity.
The discipline talks and workshops, such as the Anti-Vulgarity Campaign and Anti-Bullying Campaign, enabled students to familiarise themselves with the school rules. Students were also engaged in an interactive activity where they were blindfolded to empathise with how victims of bullying would feel.
To build a sense of pride and belonging to their new school, students were taught the school song and school hymn. The students were also involved in the decoration of their very own class covenants and class banners, which they would proudly hang in their classrooms.
The last day of the programme kicked off with a cheer competition, where each class had to present their unique and original cheers to a panel of judges, namely the EXCO members and the teachers. The judges were indeed amazed by the Secondary 1 students, as they displayed originality, synergy, enthusiasm, creativity and energy!
The highlight of Orientation 2018 was the Installation Night, which kicked off with an astounding performance by our very own award-winning Fairfield Choir. Parents of the Secondary One students were invited to attend this event, where the students delightfully recounted their orientation journey through a plethora of videos and images. The evening culminated in an event that everyone was anticipating - the Badge Presentation ceremony - where parents or guardians pinned the school's badge on their child's uniform, signifying that they are officially Secondary One students in Fairfield Secondary. It was indeed heartwarming to see the delightful and proud grins on both parents' and students' faces during the ceremony.
All in all, Orientation 2018 was a resounding success! The Secondary One students immersed themselves in an electrifyingly new environment and had an unforgettably marvellous time!
Welcome to Fairfield, Secondary One students!

I was a bit overwhelmed my first day, but decided to come back after everyone was so welcoming. I instantly became hooked. I lost 26 lbs and 31 inches within 5 months of starting. When I started I was unable to run one length of the parking lot, and I am proud to say that I have completed numerous runs and races which recently included the Spartan Race, and Tough Mudder. I would have never guess I had the ability to do this if you asked me a few years ago. -Amy M.

We love making a difference in people's lives.
From the visionary to the game changer, we don't look for companies, positions or candidates. We look for opportunities that matter and for the people that can help bring disruptive change to the marketplace. In so doing, we inevitably bring smiles to the faces of those we've impacted….and that is worth all the struggle and frustration to bring about a successful union.

Minutes of May 6 Bottom of Page 3, change 48'to 48".MR. SALVAGE MOVED TO
Citizens Comments: None
New Business:
Barbara and Richard Lucier,216 South Pearl
The Luciers wish to remodel an old barn and turn it into a two-car garage,adding 3' to
west side. A deck on rear of house will be replaced with small porch and brick patio. They will
install substantial landscaping with trellises. MR. SHULMAN MOVED TO APPROVE APPLICATION;
John and Julie Strohmeyer,201 West Pearl
The owners wish to install a 48"white colonial fence on south and east sides of the
property. Mr. Shulman indicated that other fences in the area have an established setback and
this fence should be in line with the house. Mr. Strohmeyer indicated that he wanted to maximize the space as much as possible to allow more room for his children to play,and that it
would not look balanced in line with the house. He said the proposed fence would be 3' from the sidewalk but could be flush with the side of the porch,4-5' from sidewalk. Ms. Robertson expressed concern about visibility and safety for cars, and members agreed this would not be a problem. Mr. Stansbury agreed that it would look better lined up with the house but recognized
that a lot of play space would be lost. Mr. Shulman would rather have a 42"fence if it is lined
up with the porch.
EDGE OF THE PORCH. MR STANSBURY SECONDED,AND THE VOTE WAS DEFEATED TWO (Shulman,Stansbury)TO ONE ( Salvage).
Ms. Robertson told him that if he still wants the fence as in original application,he will
need to submit further information with exact drawings,with porch, and fence location. It
would be helpful to review where other fences are in that area. Mr. Strohmeyer will meet with
Mr. Tailford again.
Gran-Rental Station,113 N. Prospect Street
The owners are requesting maroon awnings above window and door and replacing tin
siding with off-white vertical siding. He wants to print a street address on the vertical drop of
the awning,which is considered an address,rather than a sign.
Don Contini,444 East Broadway
Mr. Contini wishes to replace original siding with vinyl because original siding is not
repairable. He showed sample of heavy gauge siding and indicated that all trim is wood and will
look like the original. He also wishes to install a bay window in the rear of the house and
replace shed roof with an arbor roof over the back porch.
Granville Athletic Boosters,Granville High School,New Burg St.
The Boosters are seeking final approval on development for the stadium,and Mr. Myers,
on behalf of the Boosters, explained the plan for fence and lighting. The main change from the
last plan is that the field has been moved back closer to the hillside and a new entry plaza has
been designed. The green vinyl fence has been pulled back to allow more landscaping.
Mr. Salvage stated that based on the need to expedite this process,some of the work has
been started,although the rain forced postponement of tree planting. The four light poles will be
70' tall with 36 lights on each. Other lighting is needed at the concession stand. MR SHULMAN MOVED TO ACCEPT APPLICATION SUBJECT TO APPROVAL OF THE
Public Hearing -Bob Evans
Bob Evans Farms have officially submitted their proposal for restaurant and a proposed
motel. Ms. Robertson explained the new five-step procedures to be followed for hearings.
L Introduction by Staff.Mr. Tailford presented the proposal for the property,detailing
location,frontage,seating,future drive,lighting,signage,landscaping,and design.etc.
IL Applicant Presentation. Mr. Havener updated the group on plans,specifically referring to Mr. Tailford's memo of May 15, 1996. 0/*
motel loPtahgaesSaDn 1o.wNnoe.r.2.he explained that the connection road will be worked out when th A+ - - j-
Page5 .(No. 2.The height of the lights is 24' and they will be total cuto-ff lights.
No. 3. Site lighting along Cherry Valley was not addressed earlier and was never a design concern,so it needs to be looked at.
No. 4. Lighting uniformity can be worked out with the village.
Page A4 and AS. No. 2. Fluorescent light under awning will be removed.
Page A4 and AS.No. 3. Broken keyhole pediment will remain.
Page A4 and AS,No. 4. Architecture still has not been changed as requested by GPC. The Bob Evans supervisors have allowed as much alteration of style as possible. Page A.4 and AS.No. 5. All but three spotlights have been removed, retaining the three in the front.
General Comments. No. 1. There will not be a monument sign,only two building signs.
No. 2. Items still pending on Mark Zarbaugh's memo of May 10 are as follows:
Curb and gutter detail is OK,but location of underdrain needs to be noted on the plan.
Conduit for future street lighting does not need to be addressed at this point. Any
lighting along the road is the responsibility of Bob Evans.
Bob Evans has no problem with the village planting trees between curb and sidewalk,but
that is off their property and not their responsibility.
Regarding traffic movements and stacking problems,this may be the case,but Bob Evans
does not know the solution at this point. They need to know what information the GPC wants.
Bob Evans will clarify calculations for street trees on landscape development plan.
Staff Recommendations. Mr. Havener explained they are seeking approval tonight and
hope that further review will not be required.
Letter from Bird and Bull. Mr. Havener cited some remaining concerns: Services will
be provided to a proposed motel site. Fire Department approval is assumed. Easements will be
provided to motel. The entrance is being studied at this time;it is possible that SuperAmerica
and Bob Evans drives will line up.
ITT. Public Comments.
VJ# NU PattyMheam* stated that maintaining a New England style architecture and maintaining
the distinct character of Granville is a good idea. Bob Evans should look at a totally different style. She would encourage landscaping and trees and minimum signage.
Mary Lou VanAtta thinks Bob Evans' building falls in with Granville already. The south
side of Rt. 16 is commercial and would welcome the restaurant.
Dan Bellman thinks Bob Evans would be a welcome member of the community and has
a unique architecture. He likes the brick and muted colors.
Ron Cook agrees with Ms. VanAtta and feels this area is not downtown Granville. They
are seeking drive-by traffic and have had good communication with and been cooperative with
the village. Mr.Cook is in real estate and finds it somewhat difficult to move property because of the stonewalling of the village.
Bob Carlson feels that we are building another Newark around Granville and it will
eventually be a slum. Senior citizens and others will be moving out of Erinwood and it could end up a dead area. Property values would decline.
Dean Markle added that most development occurs along beltways. Commercial
development should be kept around those intersections and reasonable compromises need to be reached. He would not want a McDonald's at the intersection. Other Bob Evans look good.
IV. Questions from the Commission to Bob Evans.
Mr. Tailford stated that the last time the connector road was discussed, it was going to be
set in a location or noted that we would determine where its location should be,but that is not on the plans. It needs to be noted,subject to moving as approved by GPC and users. His other
1 3
concerns were:
Standard lights are not adopted yet for the village, Type of lights and heights should be
on the plans.
Tree and Landscape Commission had a question on landscaping near the dumpster.
Automobile stacking can be made a condition upon approval.
Trees in the 6' tree lawn is a requirement by Tree and Landscape Commission but they
believe we do not need trees in that tree lawn because of other trees there;if Bob Evans wishes
trees,they would be required on the plan.
Approval of Fire Department is not customary unless cul-de-sacs are involved.
Mr. Myers stated that they would need variances from GPC for sign sizes and total
signage Parking in front is subject to our discretion,and parking deviations need GPC approval
regarding connection to the south property. Mr. Havener has no problem with adding proposed
curb cuts to the plan. The motel would have violation its own entrance road. The light pole height 14 in 1 of the lighting uniformity, All driveways are going to need conduits. 1./) 0 9 3./ 0(rt
4 \11n>
Mr. Shulman asked whether ig}as were of equal size and internally lit,and the answers were Yes.
Mr. Stansbury asked about a traffic study. This has been done,but SuperAmerica will
require a second look by the village engineer. There cannot be a traffic light there.
Mr. Salvage asked about illumination along the sidewalks. Mr. Tailford stated that the
new standards have not been approved yet but that GPC decided not to have public street lights.
There is a deficiency about what is shown and what's on the proposed list. The last comment on Bird and Bull's memo is still up in the air regarding sewers,and this could be left as a condition
upon approval.
Ms. Montgomery asked about total signage,and the outline of the two signs with the
words B" ob Evans"adds up to 88 sq.ft.,or 44 sq.ft. each. She suggested Bob Evans look at a gray roof. Mr. Havener prefers the red,but in order to get them off the hurdle,they would
change the color and material but not the design.
V. FinalQuestiopnpslic,a*n*t.Mr.Will said they would be willing to change colors
Gburtannovtillteh.e architecture, Route 16 is designated commercial and they wanted to service
VI. GPC Discussion apd Yotq.
U AL/ b,A-N V-- . A *f q.+/
in this Mr.Sage sttethaGPC is overstepping its authority to force architectural standards Mr. Staanresbau.rrhy edisMagarseteerd,Plan suggests that if we want guidelines,we shouldad/iE$th-em,but stating that the Master Plan does say that we should maintain a typical style. Ms. Robertson read from the Master Plan,which recommends commercial at this area but
suggests the commercial style be consistent with a New England townW.*e are trying to uphold the spirit of'the Master Plan,which consists of what the citizens desird@She does not think a brown building with gray roofwill accomplish this goal. Mr. Shulman is concerned about lighting and wonders how this application compares with Wendy's. He also stated that signs should be at a minimum.
Mr. Myers stated that the problem is that Bob Evans wants to maintain its identity but
that Granville wants to maintain its identity also.
Mr. Myers moved that we approve the application for Bob Evans with the following
1. That a connection to the site to the south be made.
2. That fluorescent lighting under the canopy be removed.
3. That lighting on the roof be restricted to three lights,as indicated on the presentation,
but shining on the pediment.
4. That approval of village service director is required.
5. That the engineers' comments be addressed by applicant,with approval of staff.
6. That there be no ground sign.
7. That the roof color be changed from red to a more muted color as indicated by
Mr. Salvage seconded the motion. The motion was rejected by Roll Call as follows:
Mr. Salvage- yes Mr. Shulman -no
Mr. Myers -yes Mr. Stansbury -no
Ms. Robertson -no
Work Session:
John Thaxton presented changes in plans made since our last work session,and a
summary follows:
1. They eliminated the service road.
2. They eliminated the cut-de-sac. 3. They redesigned building to accommodate Granville's hoped-for standards.
4. They have looked again at the "ins and outs."
5. They have improved the landscaping.
6. There would be a 35 sq.ft. monument sign with gas prices at corner of Cherry Valley and Rt. 16.
7. There would be a sign on the back area at the entrance,and it would have room for
*other8u.seTrhS,eSreigwnowuoldulbdebaes5m0asllqs.fitg.nwoitvheratllheusdeorso.r and pattern striping would be on the
9. There is more greenspace,and they have beefed up the landscaping along Rt. 16 by
shifting the building.
10. The outdoor storage is limited to 316/, high with shrubbery on top. It would not be visible from the street.
11. There would be neatly stacked storage ( i.e.,cases of pop)in front of the door. 12. Blimpie's would sell merchandise within the store. 13. S/A would give residual land along the creek to the Granville Land Conservancy.
14. The driveway would line up with Bob Evans'.
GPC members stated their concerns.
1. Mr. Myers stated that the overall site plan is better, but the "ins and outs"with Rt. 16
so close might be a problems however,Mr.Dole stated that they have moved it farther south and the location is required for truck maneuverability. 2. Ms. Robertson would prefer the storage of pop, etc.,be inside.
3. Engineers need to look at the traffic plan again.
4. Mr. Shulman does not want the lighting any brighter than Wendy's. Mr. Myers will measure the lighting at Wendy's.
5. Mr. Tailford stated that there needs to be an interconnecting road or easement
between S/ A and the next door property to the south.
Policy for Drop-off Boxes, Vending Machines and other Outdoor Product Structures

text: So Dexter rev3 has a hardware defect where PR-8210/A mode conflicts with VP-931 mode. I had this crazy idea to remove one of the tiny SMT 2-input OR gates that I have on the board and replace it with a huge 3-input OR gate (DIP version) to fix this conflict. I just soldered it up tonight and it seems to work great! Future updates will have this fixed at the PCB level, so no need for this massive monstrosity on top. But, hey, it works. I really want rev3 to be fully functional no matter how many fixes it needs :)

The Most Popular Kitchen Backsplash for 2015
Are you curious about the most popular kitchen backsplash for 2015? Then read on because we have researched the most popular kitchen backsplash options for you. We have done our research in different stores, but eventually ended up in Home Depot. Home Depot has in our opinion the trendiest options and the best prices.
The best kitchen backsplash for 2015 consists of mosaic tiles. This does not come as a complete surprise, since mosaic has been one of the most popular kitchen backsplashes for the past ten years. With the increase of popularity, most kitchen manufacturers go looking for more colors and finishes.
Home Depot has a large amount of options available to you. You will find mosaic tiles in various colors, going from brown to green and red. The mosaic kitchen backsplash comes in a package with tiles. Prices for mosaic can vary considerably, but you can already get a mosaic kitchen backsplash for as little as thirty dollars.
If you are on a bit of a budget, then you should consider the PVC kitchen backsplash. Even though this is a cheaper material, it does not make it less durable or special. An increasingly large amount of people are choosing PVC, simply because the material is so much cheaper, however, this is often not the only reason. PVC is also available in many patterns and different finishes, leaving people with a good amount of choices. The kitchen backsplash in PVC goes for as little as nineteen dollars, so it is definitely worth checking out.
When you need the most durable kitchen backsplash, instead of the most beautiful, then you may want to opt for galvanized steel. This is a material that is often used in professional kitchens and the reason is as clear as day. Galvanized steel is very heat resistant, but also one of the most hygienic materials that are incredibly easy to clean. There are certain downsides to galvanized steel though. The first problem with galvanized steel is the price. The second problem is the look of the kitchen backsplash, because you will definitely find that it is not as beautiful as some of the other options out there. However, if you want durability, then galvanized steel is without a doubt your best bet.
So why should you choose Home Depot to purchase your kitchen backsplash? Aside from the reasonable prices, we think that Home Depot has the best choice when it comes to quality and diversity. For most orders, you can also take advantage of free shipping, however, this is only valid for orders over 45 dollars.
When you want to be on top of the trends, then a mosaic kitchen backsplash is certainly the way to go. There are other options available to you if you do not like the look of mosaic, because marble and glass kitchen backsplashes are also an option. However, these last two may be incredibly pricy, so you will need a reasonable budget to get these kitchen backsplashes in your kitchen.

Workers who are injured on the job are usually entitled to file workers' compensation claims to recover receive their lost wages, have their medical expenses paid and receive payment in the event of a permanent disability. If the injuries suffered by a work accident victim are severe enough to result in the worker's death, benefits might be available for the individual's spouse, children and other dependents under the workers' compensation laws in California.
A construction site accident or an occupational disease caused by unsafe working conditions may entitle the dependents of a deceased worker to workers' compensation benefits. Death benefits are at least $224 payable each week, but the payments could be more. There is also a burial allowance of $10,000.
Weekly death benefits are paid at the rate that would have been paid to the worker had he or she suffered a total temporary disability. The exact amount of the weekly payments depends upon the number of dependents who are entitled to receive them. The total maximum payment amount for one dependent is $250,000. It increases to $290,000 for two dependents and $320,000 for three or more dependents.
If a deceased worker's dependents are children, they receive benefits until each they reach their eighteenth birthday. Disabled children are entitled to continue to receive death benefits for the rest of their lives.
An application for workers' compensation death benefits must be filed within a specific period of time from the date of the victim was injured on the job or from the date of death. The calculation of the deadline for filing a claim depends upon the circumstances surrounding the victim's death. This blog posting is not offered as legal advice and should not be relied upon as such. An Orange County workers' compensation attorney is a good source of legal advice in order to avoid missing the deadline for filing.

Email remains a powerful way to connect with customers and influence their buying decisions: 66% of online Americans say they have made a purchase as a result of an email from a brand, more than three times the percentage of people who have purchased in response to a message delivered via Facebook (20%) or text message (16%), according to a study by Exact Target.
Direct mail is also a key tool for motivating consumers to buy: 65% of surveyed online Americans say they have made a purchase in response to message received via direct mail. By contrast, mobile apps (10%) and social channels such as Twitter (6%) and LinkedIn (4%) are less likely to influence consumers' buying decisions.
Brand messages via social channels tend to sway younger generations: Teens (age 15-17) are the most likely to be influenced by brand messages delivered via Facebook (32%) and Twitter (16%) when making purchases.

We blogged a while back about the CuparCould Charretteplus® project. The final project report and community booklet are now available to read.
The initiative was led by Cupar Development Trust and other local stakeholders with support from PAS who project managed the Charetteplus and funding from the Scottish Government, Fife Council and Awards for All.
From the outset the project had a strong focus on considering how ideas arising from the charrette would actually be delivered, and the report reflects this.
Cupar Development Trust has strong aspirations to take forward the ideas arising from the charrette. There is recognition that each of the eight proposals emerging from the CuparCould will need collaborative action under five themes:
– Access and wayfinding
– People-friendly design
– A distinctive market town
– Culture and heritage
– Historic townscape
A booklet for distribution in the local community was also produced summarising the project and ideas which arose from the engagement.
For further information or to discuss how to collaborate with PAS on a similar project please contact Julia Frost on 0131 659 9772 or email email@example.com

Vintage Last Rites Crucifix
Vintage Last Rites Crucifix
This is a vintage Last Rites crucifix or sick call kit. They originally were kept in Catholic homes so that in the event of illness or death, a priest had all the tools needed to perform the sacrifice of Last Rites. As with all older items, some signs of wear and use are present. This does not detract from the appearance or collectible nature of this piece.
This crucifix is about 13" inches long and 8" wide and comes with the original instructions and no other contents. These usually came with candles, a small holy water bottle and linen. None of the other contents are present with this particular one.
A very nice piece for the religious collector or the oddball who wants to hide treasures with Jesus.

With our patio sealing & staining services in Lake Mary, FL, we can help you keep your patio in good condition.
Whether your patio is located near a pool or it overlooks the backyard of your home, it's essential that you keep this space clean and protected from harm. This is especially true if your patio is surrounded by a screen or if you've had problems with organic growth and algae in the past.
At Sealing Specialists, our patio sealing & staining services are designed to keep your patio in good condition. We can simply apply a coating to the surface of your patio to protect it from harm. Or, we can stain your patio and then put an additional sealing coat on top of it. However, the stain we use during the staining process does have a sealant in it.
When you turn to us to take advantage of our patio sealing & staining services, we will likely recommend that you allow us to use a Urethane sealant to cover the new stain. The Urethane sealant we use is extremely resistant to chemicals and doesn't flake off in small pieces. Plus, if you go with a Urethane sealant, you won't have to re-stain your patio after the sealant wears off. Instead, all we will have to do is reapply the seal to your patio.
With proper patio sealing & staining, not only do you protect the surface of your patio from harm, but you also preserve the aesthetics of this structure. To find out more about our sealing and staining services in the Lake Mary, Florida area, reach out to us at Sealing Specialists today.

Twitter is one of the biggest crazes to take the world in a long while. Keeping in touch has become the new most important thing among today's youth and they can all do so with this wonderful technology. While Twitter is certainly a successful piece of technology, it might be confusing to use for some members who are not familiar with social media. We can help you there as our Twitter bot can make your experience much more easy!
Using Twitter
Twitter is quite simple when you get down to everything it can do. each member has a page that can be viewed by any of their followers. This page contains all the tweets they have ever posted which is a lot for some younger people who live on Twitter. Tweets can be anything on your mind really, they are a great way to get your name and specials out there if you are a new business. A follower is a person who likes your Twitter page enough that they would like to be able to see it on demand and be alerted every time that person makes a Tweet. This is a great way to stay up to date on all your favorite stars and personal friends, ensuring that you don't miss a beat. Twitter is a useful resource for anyone with the time to thoroughly enjoy it.
Twitter for Businesses
Some people don't want to use Twitter for its social purposes and seek only to make a profit with this website. Any aspiring business should have a page on each and every one of the social media sites. These include Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, and many more. Twitter is great because you can Tweet about your business all day and gather new customers as a result of this. People are already on their phones all day, so any followers you have will immediately be aware of everything that is going on with your business. This lets you keep more people up to date and as a result, gets you more customers. You have to play the twitter game carefully making sure to post often, but not often enough to annoy your followers with constant Tweets. Just find the balance in your posting and see how much this Twitter bot can help you!
Automate Twitter with My Twitter Bot
If constantly getting on Twitter to check your updates doesn't seem like your kind of thing, then we have just the program for you. This Twitter bot can automate many features of Twitter so that you can ultimately spend less time on it. This Twitter bot can request all followers of other similar businesses so that you can get ahead in your number of customers. This bot can also make it easier for you to post throughout the day on Twitter. Instead of getting on ten times at random intervals throughout the day, you can just post all of these in the morning, and our bot will spread them out for you. This lets you spend less time on Twitter, and more time on important things!

The cats in the 'Cats' movie will be motion capture creations; was that the right choice?Posted by 2cross2affliction on Thu 4 Apr 2019 - 07:08
Movie review: 'How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World'Posted by dronon on Sat 23 Feb 2019 - 23:49
How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (2019) is the latest film in the HTTYD series, the first of which came out in 2010 and was followed by a second film in 2014. Now, after a four-and-a-half-year gap, we have a third one, presumably (?) the last, but even if DreamWorks decides to keep the film franchise going, The Hidden World feels like the completion of a trilogy, all of which have involved Dean DeBlois as screenwriter and director.
I'm going to try and avoid major spoilers, so I'll summarize the plot points introduced in the early part of the film. I won't be linking to trailers, because they give away some of the locations and scene gags that are better kept a surprise. I watched a 2D screening, and I haven't kept up with any of the franchise spinoffs or shorts. I'm not a fan of most of the dragon designs or of several secondary characters, but regardless, I've happily enjoyed Hiccup and Toothless' adventures together.

Movie review: Three animated films from 2017Posted by dronon on Thu 15 Nov 2018 - 12:28
This is a triple movie review! Three animated films for kids from 2017, all of them originally French, that have been dubbed into English (or soon will be): The Jungle Bunch, Sahara, and The Big Bad Fox and Other Tales. The last one is the best by far, but isn't available in English yet. Coming soon!
The Jungle Bunch
Original title: Les as de la jungle (literally "The Aces of the Jungle"; here's the trailer). When my nephew was little, I took him to see the Thomas and the Magic Railroad movie, because he loved the whole Thomas The Tank Engine thing. I knew it was a franchise with loads of characters, and the movie relied on familiarity. I know I watched it, but to this day, I have no memory of it.
Similarly, The Jungle Bunch is based on a lot of television episodes, plus an earlier movie or two. You don't need to have followed any of them to watch the 2017 movie, but it probably helps to connect with it more. Personally I didn't find the characters particularly deep, and they're not meant to be. I liked some of their designs more than others. It's a computer-animated film, and the animation and backgrounds came out well. Visually it looks very good!
Movie review: 'Ivan Tsarevich and the Gray Wolf' (2011)Posted by dronon on Fri 27 Apr 2018 - 12:05
Ivan Tsarevich and the Gray Wolf (Иван Царевич и Серый волк / Ivan Tsarevich i Seriy volk / trailer) is a Russian 2D animated children's film that came out in 2011. It's the 7th film produced by Melnitsa Animation Studio, and although it took 12th place that year in Russia's box office, 9 of the top 11 films were all foreign imports, so for a domestic film it did really well! It made back 8 times what it cost to produce, enough to get sequels in 2013 and 2016. I've not watched the studio's other films, but they've definitely got an in-house animation style down to something that works well for them.
A lot of foreign animation companies don't bother exporting their films into the North American market because it's expensive, although Netflix and other streaming services are rapidly changing that. Sometimes it's a case of whether foreign audiences will be able to relate to the content. Ivan Tsarevich and the Gray Wolf feels very Russian, culturally. I get the impression it's poking fun at a lot of fairy tales, and I have no idea what they are. Still, it was an ok watch.
Movie review: 'The Star'Posted by 2cross2affliction on Thu 28 Dec 2017 - 20:47
"Jesus our brother, strong and good, was humbly born in a stable rude."
-"The Friendly Beasts", folk song
"Well, we folks of the animal kingdom have our own version."
-Roger Miller, folk singer
Organized Christian theology has never really answered the question whether or not animals can be saved, but popular Christianity, as practiced by people rather than priests, has always seemed to think that salvation is available as much to animals as to humanity. A frequent way to tell the story of the Nativity is via the use of anthropomorphic animals. As a young child, I was at one time or another a lion and a firefly in various church Christmas pageants. Lions have traditionally been used in Christian art to symbolize Christ as King, though fireflies have never been very associated with Christmas in specific or Christianity in particular. I remember singing "This Little Light of Mine", anyway.
Which brings us to the original little light of Christianity and titular object of The Star. This is yet another retelling of the Nativity through the eyes of the animal kingdom, this time updated to slick CGI animated comedy. It's the same old story, but approximately 2.2 billion Christians around the world would attest it's a pretty decent story. So, it's got that going for it.
Movie review: 'Sheep and Wolves' (2016)Posted by dronon on Sun 26 Nov 2017 - 20:18
Sheep & Wolves (trailer) is an 85-minute Russian CG-animated movie that came out in 2016, also known as Волки и овцы (Volki i ovtsy). The writing and production took five years by Wizart Animation, whose earlier film had been The Snow Queen (2012).
Sheep & Wolves didn't quite break even at the box office, and received mixed reviews. After I watched it, I have to agree it's a middle-of-the-road film. It's not bad, it's not great - it's thoroughly so-so. On the positive side, the animation is good and very furry! But the writing... it's for kids aged six and above. There's not much in it to appeal to adults; it's what I call a "babysitting film". Plunk your tykes down in front of it and keep them distracted for a while. Still, I'd rank it a notch or two above Alpha & Omega.
Review: 'My Little Pony: The Movie' (2017)Posted by 2cross2affliction on Tue 10 Oct 2017 - 11:04
"I guess I just sort of ... grew up."
— Ask Jappleack
"Me too!"
— "What Good Will Wishing Do?", My Little Pony: The Movie (1986) (my review)
It's been seven years to the day since My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was first aired, and the geek world changed that day.
So let's talk about the 2017 movie. As far as the story goes, it's pretty bog-standard at this point for MLP:FiM. Bad guy appears (the Storm King, voiced by Liev Schreiber), three of the four magical alicorn princesses prove themselves worthless by getting instantly captured, so it's up to the fourth princess and series protagonist, Twilight Sparkle (voiced by Tara Strong), with her six friends - Applejack (voiced by Ashleigh Ball), Fluttershy (voiced by Andrea Libman), Pinkie Pie (also voiced by Libman), Rainbow Dash (also voiced by Ball), Rarity (voiced by Tabitha St. Germain) and Spike (voiced by Cathy Weseluck) - to save the land of Equestria with the magic of friendship. Which they used to be able to straight-up shoot people with, but they lost that ability back in season four.
Trailers drop for two 2018 furry featuresPosted by 2cross2affliction on Wed 27 Sep 2017 - 09:57
A pair of trailers came out within hours of each other last week for future furry features; Wes Anderson's Isle of Dogs, a stop-motion animated movie featuring talking dogs, and Peter Rabbit, a live action movie featuring CGI animals who wear clothes in addition to talking.
'Spark: A Space Tail': No futurePosted by 2cross2affliction on Sat 16 Sep 2017 - 16:01
"Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?"
- John Lydon, singer/songwriter
"God Save the Queen is the actual worst song, let's not argue."
- Guy Lodge, again
To be perfectly honest, I was a bit excited for this movie, when I first heard of it, if only because furries in space is a concept that has worked in the past; and, hey, vixen right there.
I kept plugging it quietly in the background all throughout 2015 and early 2016 (and you guys thought I only covered Zootopia that year). I mean, what if 2016 had been a year where we had six wide release, fully anthropomorphic world movies ranging in genre from buddy cop, to martial arts, to backstage musical, to crime caper, to space opera, and also Rock Dog?
As it ended up, we got, by my count, one great movie, one good movie, one movie that was kind of meh, one movie that turned out to not exist, one terrible movie and also Rock Dog.
Animated film: Happy FamilyPosted by Fred on Fri 8 Sep 2017 - 00:53
Happy Family (IMDB page) is a 2017 animated movie from Germany, about a family that gets turned into monsters by a witch. It looks like a mashup of The Addams Family, The Munsters, and Hotel Transylvania.
Warner Bros. funded the production, and are distributing it in Europe and Latin America, presumably to be followed by direct-to-DVD sales in the U.S. in 2018. It's based on a book by David Safier.
Is it furry? Well, the family includes a kid who's a wolf-boy, there are talking bats, and VAMPIRES! (Boo.)
Kemono Friends - Finding ones identity among animal friendsPosted by Fred on Tue 29 Aug 2017 - 20:00
"Kemono Friends" (けものフレンズ) began in Japan in 2015 as a mobile game. A manga was serialized in "Monthly Shōnen Ace" (one of Japan's "telephone book"-sized comics magazines) from May 2015 to March 2017, and a 12-episode anime TV series was broadcast from January 10 to March 28, 2017 on Wednesdays. Sequels are currently in production.
The plot is that Japari Park is a huge island zoo of real, extinct, and mythological animals. A mysterious substance, Sandstar, turns all the young female animals into "Friends", Japanese cute girls about 10 to 12 years old with furry ears and tails. Kaban is a girl who wakes up in Japari Park with no memory of who she is or how she got there. Her first friend is Serval, a girl with serval ears & tail, who names her Kaban (bag) because of her backpack. Other characters they meet include Raccoon, Fennec, Alpaca, Crested Ibis, Jaguar, Beaver, Prairie Dog, Moose, Gray Wolf, and others. Lucky Beast, a mysterious robot rabbit, seems to be in charge. Kaban is helped by Serval and Fennec through the Park to learn who she really is.
Everyone expects "Kemono Friends" (in English, "Animal Friends") to come to American TV and DVD soon. But for now, if you like Japanese animal girls (ears and tails only) of more species than just cats, dogs, and bunnies, then you can watch "Kemono Friends" on Steam's gaming service, or Crunchy Roll.
'The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature': You know what I'm saying?Posted by 2cross2affliction on Sun 27 Aug 2017 - 07:59
"Somehow, my job now requires me to sit and watch THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS."
- Guy Lodge, Guardian film critic, via Twitter, Nov. 9, 2016
"So much for peaceful protest."
- Surly, squirrel
Currently, this movie sits at a paltry 11% at Rotten Tomatoes, from 47 reviews (not a big number of reviews for a wide release movie). A grand total of five professional reviewers found enough decent in the movie to muster "fresh" ratings there. This 11% percent matches the original's score, though it had double the positive reviews with 10 of its 89 reviews finding something nice to say about it. So, obviously, not the most critically beloved movie franchise ever.
However, I didn't exactly follow the critics' consensus with the first movie, what with giving it a spot on my annual top ten list. Fred liked it too, in his review of the movie for Flayrah. And I won't be agreeing with the critics again for the sequel (you'll have to ask Fred if he's even seen this second one, though).
But, you know what, who cares? I mean, as I write this, the top story on Flayrah Lamar's article on the alt-right, while Equivamp's take is a little bit below it. Who cares if the cartoon squirrel movie is good or not; it's not like it has anything to say about the real world and the things that are happening in it right now.
GKIDS to release 'The Big Bad Fox' in AmericaPosted by 2cross2affliction on Thu 10 Aug 2017 - 16:14
GKIDS, an American distributor of foreign animated films, has gained release rights for The Big Bad Fox & Other Tales. The film is co-directed by Benjamin Renner and Patrick Imbert, based on a graphic novel created by Renner. The movie does not yet have an English language trailer, but a French trailer with English subtitles has been released.
The movie tells three different connected stories; the titular story features a fox who tries to raise chickens in order to eat them, while other stories include a rabbit trying to deliver a baby, stork-style, and various animals playing Santa Clause. GKIDS has traditionally created an English language version of the movies they distribute, though no announcements of possible English voice actors have been made (or even planned at this early stage).

Sometimes it takes a gradual revisiting of complex concepts to understand the most obvious things in life and oftentimes, the revisiting in itself creates the momentum of familiarity that causes you to finally have an "aha" moment about something which may have escaped you on all prior visits. Or maybe, we just come to understand things in finality when the timing is right and we are finally ready to receive the information. This has been my course of discovering and understanding the shape-shifting, life-impacting operations of the soul.
According to Deepak Chopra in his book The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire, "A soul is the observer who interprets and makes choices based on karma, it is also a confluence of relationships, out of which emerge contexts and meaning that creates experience."
What this means is that any given moment our soul is operating from a conglomeration of things: our past actions both energetically and physically, our current intentions, our moment to moment interactions and what we decide to fill them with, our hopes, dreams and desires, and anything else that is stuck in the amoebic soup of our lives. Once conscious of this, we become aware of the importance of what we fill it with and become armed with the knowledge that we can indeed create our lives going forward with a directed content towards what we really want. It requires an accountability once we know this, that we are indeed the products of ourselves and that we can blame no other thing, event or person for the course our life takes. Every thought, word and deed going forward then becomes something to choose with sacred discernment and an astute awareness of the present. The more we begin to act out our lives from the crux point of every forward moment, the more we are able to listen to that quiet voice inside of us and turn off the endless chatter that worries about yesterday, tomorrow, outcome or guarantee and we may succumb to the flow. We become a part of the primordial fluid of our own existence and steer it like the captain of a well-oiled boat.
This creates a beautiful microscopic field around all of our decisions. Our choices become crystal-clear gems made with utmost care and we become accustomed to joy, pleasure and fulfillment because we understand we are the carvers of our own experience. In the beginning, we may spend a lot of time clearing out old muck by setting straight any errant paths we may be on due to old traumas, negativity, misguided words or conflicts in relationships, but once we clear out those things, we become a blank slate of pure potentiality.
This trickles down to everything we do, say, consume, participate in and surround ourselves with. When it comes to food, it means being aware of what your body wants to eat, hungers for and why, what it naturally needs as fuel, and what comforts you most in times of emotional highs and lows. It's not about extreme dieting or gluttonous overeating; nor is it about numbly self-medicating with sugar or becoming blindly addicted to butter and fat. It's about knowing what's in your food, being conscious of what you ingest and how it makes you feel, tweaking your intake to represent a balance of what you need for nutrition and what you need that fortifies your pleasure zones and about fine tuning what moderation means to you. It's about creating your consumption patterns based on the things you learn along the way by listening to your body tell you what it enjoys and what makes it sick. We have all the information inside of us like a quivering gauge if only we would learn to dial closely into our own souls.
Every morning when I wake, the first thing I do is put on the water for tea. When I am feeling optimistic about a productive day ahead, I tend to reach for a citrusy vanilla rooibos. When I am feeling the effects of a rich-food weekend overload, I reach for a stark yerba mate or a rice or genmaicha blend deep with branches and twig essence. When I am feeling the need to alert my mind and body and shake it up a bit, I opt for gingko biloba varieties spiked with mint or ginger. When I am feeling the lull of a lazy Sunday I enter the day slowly with a potent chamomile. But for most all of the other days, when I wake up with a smile on my face and the willingness to slowly flow into the great unknown absent of a to do list but just the desire to see where the day might take me, I choose my favorite comfort brew of husky Earl Grey – which like a favorite pair of flannel pajamas and winter boots, never fails to lift my spirits just right.
Of late, I have gotten used to the idea of special little sandwiches to accompany my tea – also changing per the mood of my soul and a treasure hunt through the refrigerator to see which version might call to me on any given morning. Recently, my favorite creation is a slice of toasted 7 grain bread, halved and then sprinkled on one side with quality, crumbled blue cheese, a dollop of Armenian rose butter and studded with tiny, earthy filberts. Sipping my tea and taking my rich, indulgent little bites becomes a morning meditation—a self-created pocket of space from which I may ponder ideas as large as the soul.

Counting Your Spoons
Are you in the habit of counting your spoons? We're not talking about taking stock of your silverware after the holidays. Counting spoons is a metaphor for calculating your energy, especially if you have cancer or another chronic illness. The concept comes from an essay called "The Spoon Theory," written by Christine Miserandino.
Christine lives with lupus, a disease which causes the immune system to attack the body's healthy cells. Her essay tells the story of a friend who asked her what it was like to live with lupus. The friend knew about all the doctor's visits, medications and side effects, but she wanted to understand what it was like to live with chronic illness all day, every day.
Spoon Theory
In response, Christine gathered spoons from nearby tables in the café where they were dining. She handed her friend 12 spoons, which she used to symbolize units of energy. She asked her friend to describe her day, starting with simple tasks and activities. For each, the friend had to hand over a spoon.
The act of getting out of bed used up one spoon. Showering and dressing? Two more. She used up another spoon making breakfast.Before her friend even got out the door, she'd used up six spoons. When she asked Christine if she could have more spoons to make it through the day, the answer was no. People with serious illness have a limited amount of energy and wishing for more doesn't make them magically appear.
The friend realized she'd have to ration her remaining spoons very carefully to get through the remainder of the day. If she were to have enough energy to eat dinner, she might have to buy something already prepared. She might not be able to clean up the kitchen. And she might need to go to bed early because she'd used up her reserves.
At the end of the conversation, the friend starting crying. But she had a new perspective into Christine's world, an appreciation of the choices required each day and renewed empathy for her close friend.
Are You a Spoonie?
Christine Miserandino published her essay on her website: But You Don't Look Sick. The response was overwhelming. People around the world shared spoon theory with their friends and family, using it as a simple, but effective way of visualizing life with chronic illness. Type "Are You a Spoonie?" into a search engine, and you'll find hundreds of articles, quizzes and personal posts on the subject. There are spoonie t-shirts, coffee mugs, even tattoos.
Of course, spoon theory needs to be adapted for each individual. Not everyone gets 12 spoons a day. Sometimes you get two, sometimes none. A shower may take one spoon, or it may take four. Sometimes you have a surplus of spoons, but it's no guarantee they'll carry over to the next day.
Use the theory however it works for you. If it helps others understand your choices, terrific. If it helps you choose wisely, safeguard your strength and enjoy what matters most, that's what really counts.

30 Nov Fall Is In The Air
As I am writing this I am reflecting on many things. My birthday for one which has just passed. I'm reviewing everything that made up my 36th year (good and not so good) and all that I want for my 37th year – things I want to accomplish like keeping up with this blog more frequently, painting, collaging more often. I've been consumed with life tasks – arguably important and necessary – but that eat up the precious time and energy I want and need to devote to my creative life. My goal for the next few weeks is to set a schedule which allows me to incorporate the vital creative time and make it automatic like eating, sleeping and running are for me. I'm finding as I have more free time and flexibility in my schedule that it gets filled. Weeks go by and I am busy and enjoying myself but not making progress on things that are important to me. I know from my coaching training and personal growth work that If I am not deciding how I spend my time others will decide for me in the form of urgent things that need my attention, social obligations and the distraction factory which is the internet and my IPhone.
The reason I am sharing this with you is to make myself accountable for following through on this. Anytime I make a decision about an action I want to take I tell people. I make it as public as possible. Part of my identity is that I am a person that follows through and keeps my word. If I tell you I am going to do something I will make good on that promise. So when I find I need a little extra motivation to get something done I tell people I am going to do and that is enough to make me get moving! It's a strategy that really works.
I'm also reflecting on memories and thinking about the seasons of life. My dog is sick. Actually he is dying. I have a Golden Retriever and his name is Fletcher. He has been my best friend for 10 years.In fact it was on my birthday 10 years ago he came into my life. I had never loved anything like I loved this dog. Since then we have been through everything together: roommates, marriage, jobs, babies… Through it all he has been there always loving, loyal and kind. I'm trying to come to terms with the fact that his time here is almost over and what that means to me and my family. I'm crying a lot and trying to be brave. I'm trying to love him enough to let him go and I am praying that he will do it on his own without me having to make that horrible decision. Right now I am feeding him treats and spending as much time as I can petting and loving him while he is still here. It's funny to me that even though I am nearly 40 years old and have a family of my own that losing this dog makes me feel like I am a child.
So today I am grateful. I'm grateful for all of the birthdays I've shared with Fletcher and I am hopeful for all of the things this coming year will bring for both of us – even if we are no longer together on this earth. I'm grateful for how much he has contributed to my life and the unconditional love he has given me and my family. I'm also grateful for the reminder that life is short and that I need to honor and spend time with the people I love everyday because I never know when it might be the last opportunity to do so.
Thank you Fletcher. I love you.
In loving memory of Fletcher May 7,2002 – November 30, 2012

Wal-Mart Stores to close chain's only Más Club
Wal-Mart Stores is closing its one Más Club membership warehouse store, which is located in Houston, the company announced Monday.
The store at 8711 North Freeway is organized like a traditional Sam's Club, but it carries more Hispanic-focus merchandise.
The store will close Feb. 7, Wal-Mart Stores' director of communications Anne Hatfield said.
Más Club opened as a test format in 2009, she said, and the parent company came to realize that it made more sense to incorporate its best working elements, including some of the merchandise, into traditional Sam's Clubs in Houston and throughout the U.S.
Wal-Mart Stores announced on Friday that it would layoff 2,300 Sam's Club division employees nationwide.
There are six Sam's Clubs within a 20-mile radius of Más Club, Hatfield said.
The 153 workers at Más Club will be able to find work at an area Sam's Club or Walmart, she said.
The building will be put up for sale, Hatfield said.

While many little girls dress up in Mummy's heels and dream of being crowned a beauty Queen, nowadays some young women view it as a potential escape from poverty.
Channel 4's new three-part documentary series follows girls entering the Miss World contest, beginning tonight with the Black Country heats in the West Midlands.
The area has one of the highest rates of female unemployment in the country and prospects are bleak.
One of the featured hopefuls Natalie, from Dudley, is entering the local pageant in the hope of improving her life.
She's one of three girls from the West Midlands featured in the charming Beauty Queen or Bust.
"Nearly everyone I know is unemployed," explains the 22-year-old.
"It's so hard to get a standard, normal job. I've applied to chicken packing factories... I applied to be an elf at Christmas - they rejected me!"
Natalie previously had a volunteering job steaming stains out of clothes.
"There are only so many stains you can steam," she laughs.
She's now set up her own mobile hair-dressing business, but admits it's hard getting clients together as a start-up. The grafter is adamant she doesn't want to end up back in the Job Centre queue, though.
Entering the pageant offers another opportunity - and she's using her earnings from hairdressing to buy the perfect dress.
"A Dudley hair 'extensionist' becoming the new Miss World. Why not? You've got to aim high, I think!" she smiles.
"I'd absolutely love to win it. I'd sleep in my crown every night, go to bed with my sash on.
"I could walk round Dudley in it just because I'd won that title."
* Watch Beauty Queen or Bust tonight at 9pm on Channel 4

Big Bertha
by Ed Coet
part 1 of 2
They didn't have air conditioning in Central Texas in 1867. August was so hot that a smoky mist seeped from the ground as if the dry cracked soil were perspiring, gasping, and even begging for a cool rain. It was on this burnt ground that the small, one-room rust-painted wooden schoolhouse sat by itself amidst a forest of live oaks, mesquite, and cedar trees. A forest of parched trees that were collectively struggling and clinging to life in the midst of one of the hottest and most unbearable summers in historical memory.
No one would have ever guessed in 1867 that this same ground would one day be the home of a thriving city of over 100,000 citizens known as Killeen. It would also host the largest and most sophisticated military installation in the world: Fort Hood, Texas.
The tiny schoolhouse crammed in seventeen students ranging between 6 and 16 years of age. First through 10th grade were taught in one room by a single teacher. Few students stayed past the 8th grade. No students went beyond 10th grade. Teenagers were part of the much-needed agricultural labor pool. Their labor was needed on the farms and in the forests.
Miss Warlock, also known as Big Bertha, taught all the students. Bertha Warlock had a very strange family history. Legend has it that she was the daughter of Gertrude Warlock, a wicked witch. She had cast a spell on Allen Warlock, Big Bertha's father. This spell caused Allen Warlock to fall in love with Gertrude. The wicked witch Gertrude was decrepit and vile-looking. She had squinty gray eyes; bushy eyebrows; large ears; a cleft, protruding chin; and rotting teeth.
Even so, the spell she cast on the trapper Allen Warlock made Gertrude appear beautiful to him. While under her spell Allen asked Gertrude the witch to be his bride. They quickly married on January 1, 1868. Ten months later on Halloween night, October 31, 1868, the wicked witch Gertrude gave birth to a very large and an unusually ugly baby girl. She named the baby Bertha. This baby would grow up to be the legendary Big Bertha.
After two years, Gertrude's evil spell wore off Allen Warlock. He was finally able to see the wretched witch that he married while under her evil spell. The sight of her was so shocking that Allen Warlock almost succumbed to heart failure. It took him months to recover and even then it was not a full recovery.
The thought of having to spend the rest of his life with such a wicked wife filled Allen Warlock with despair. He lost his will to live. The end finally came when Gertrude forced her affections on Allen. He was bedridden and defenseless. Allen tried to fight her off but his brave attempt was no match for Gertrude's evil magic. She placed yet another spell on him.
This spell forced Allen Warlock to hold his breath until he fainted into unconsciousness. He died soon thereafter. The final cause of his death was the subject of much speculation over the years. Most believed that Gertrude murdered her husband while he was in his unconscious trance. Others thought he died from another heart attack while being forced to hold his breath under Gertrude's evil spell.
The truth remains a mystery to this day. Whatever the actual cause of death was, heart attack or murder, nobody disputed the fact that Gertrude's evil spell lead to her husband's death in some manner.
It was common knowledge during this period that Allen had nothing to do with his daughter Bertha. At the time of his death, Bertha was only one year old. Even at this young toddler's age, Bertha was mysterious and overpowering. Her father was afraid of her. The normal father-daughter bonding never developed between them.
Bertha was known to dislike males of all ages. She avoided the company of boys and men whenever possible, unless she had some particular use for them. Some of the boys and men whom Bertha came in contact with mysteriously vanished. They were never heard from again. No one knew why. It was widely believed that Gertrude the witch was teaching her daughter, Bertha, to hate men even at this tender young age.
The circumstances surrounding Allen Warlock's death became public on the second anniversary of his death. Human bones were found around an outdoor barbecue pit next to the log cabin of Gertrude the witch. A rawhide identification wristband identified the remains as being that of Allen Warlock.
Within days of this discovery, Gertrude Warlock was tried and convicted for murder and cannibalism. The evidence proved that Gertrude had barbecued the remains of her husband. Afterwards she ate his flesh. It is not known if her daughter Bertha shared in this feast of human remains.
Since Gertrude Warlock had been convicted of witchcraft, sorcery, murder, and cannibalism, she was sentenced to death and burned alive at the stake. A single newspaper report of the execution was discovered many decades latter. It was the only record of what took place that day. This report reflected eyewitness accounts of Gertrude the witch laughing as her flesh burned. It was as if she felt no pain. Her eyes were reported to have turned crimson red. It said her head turned slowly from left to right with an evil and chilling glare.
Seconds before dying, Gertrude shrieked out a warning. She said, "Beware, my magic will live in my other flesh. I shall return and gain my revenge on man."
Up to this point her skin and flesh only peeled under the heat of the intense flames. Then suddenly it turned to ash and vanished in a mysterious manner.
It is uncertain what Gertrude meant about returning in her other flesh. Most folks believed she was referring to her daughter Bertha who was, of course, of her flesh. From that day forward Bertha was held highly suspect. She was avoided by practically everyone.
Bertha Warlock, or Big Bertha, thus lost both her parents at a very young age. Ordinarily this would be a tragedy, but in Big Bertha's case it was a blessing in disguise. The police investigated further and discovered the skeletal remains of 27 missing children. They were also buried near Gertrude's cabin. Gertrude the witch had placed spells on them.
These spells put the children in a trance, whereupon Gertrude would kill and eat them. Afterwards she would bury the remains. Had Gertrude not been executed she might have killed and eaten her own daughter, the legendary Big Bertha. The prevailing concern at the time was that the blood of Gertrude ran through Big Bertha's veins. Many feared that Big Bertha would become like her mother.
Grandma Warlock, Big Bertha's paternal grandmother raised her. Grandma Warlock was a good and kind person. She taught Bertha good values and the importance of getting a good education. Bertha studied hard and earned excellent grades. Other than chores she did nothing else but study. Bertha tried to make friends at an early age but was always rejected. Everyone associated her with Gertrude, her witch mother. Parents did not permit their children to play with or associate with Bertha. The boys teased her and the girls made fun of her.
Bertha quickly became bitter and angry. She learned to hate boys and lost interest in making friends with other girls. She became a complete outsider. She was a loner. Bertha didn't fit in with anyone. She often talked to herself or so it seemed. It was as if she were somehow communicating with her long dead mother, Gertrude the witch.
On occasion, Bertha was seen mixing potions waving her hands over them in a mysterious way. When questioned, she said she was learning to cook and that she was reciting recipes to herself. Was it cooking or was it witch's sorcery as many believed? Nobody really knew for sure.
Bertha grew much faster than other children her age. By the time she was 14, Bertha had already reached a height of 6 feet 2 inches. She weighed over two hundred pounds. By her 20th birthday Bertha had matured in to a 6 foot 7 inch 325-pound woman. She had very little body fat. Bertha was as solid as a rock.
Occasionally Bertha would have disagreements with some of the tough loggers and trappers in the area. This happened only when she went shopping in town for her grandmother. Feeling the effects of too much whiskey, the loggers sometimes teased Bertha about her unusual size and her homely looks. Bertha usually just turned her back to them. Then she would walk away from them.
However, if they brought up Gertrude, Bertha's witch mother, she would lose control. A fight would break out that was a spectacle to witness. Not once did a logger or trapper walk away from a fight with Big Bertha. She would pound them unconscious. Her hammer fist was as powerful as a sledgehammer. She smashed it against the side of the face and other body parts of anyone who challenged her.
Some did not survive the fight. Since these fights were always witnessed and because Bertha acted in self-defense, she never faced criminal charges. Those who survived a Big Bertha beating were never the same again. You could spot her victims a mile away. They were the crippled remains of once gallant and strong men. Their deformed, twisted, mangled and disabled bodies were unsightly and pitiful looking. They begged considerable compassion from onlookers.
Bertha Warlock's exceptional grades earned her a full scholarship to the University of Texas. It was there that she set out to fulfill her life's ambition of becoming a teacher.
There are no records that speak to what transpired until August 28, 1892. Big Bertha was 24 years old at the time. She had just accepted the teaching position in the rusty-colored, one-room country school in Bell County, central Texas. She was the only teacher in the school.
The land upon which this school was built would some day be near the center of a city that would become known as Killeen, Texas. This fact would later prove to be significant. The record is very sketchy after this, except that it is known that a few influential locals tried to fire Big Bertha from her teaching position. Their reasons for wanting to fire her remain sketchy. However legend has it that they were acting on a popular public appeal.
Their efforts to fire Big Bertha failed. There is no record of why it failed. It is only known that two of the five men who sought her dismissal mysteriously disappeared. The other three, the brothers Clyde and Jethro Belton and their cousin Jessie Stillhouse were in a complete state of shock. They had witnessed or been subjected to something awful. They could not be persuaded to speak about what transpired, not even when threatened with death, so great was their fear.
Big Bertha's name was perpetuated by her students because of her enormous size, strength, and what seemed like her supernatural powers. It is known that Big Bertha remained a spinster, having never married. She did not like men. She could also be ruthless with women if they crossed her. Big Bertha lived alone and remained a loner her entire life. She would go into violent rages if anybody disturbed her peace.

10 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Social Media, Because There's Definitely A Best Time To Post That Instagram Photo — INFOGRAPHIC
So, most of you reading this are probably "tech literate." As in, you know how to use computers and iPhones and stuff. And you spend a lot of time on Instagram and Twitter. But despite your advanced skill level, I bet there are probably a few things you didn't know about social media. Just trust me on this one.
But hey, the good news is that this infographic from marketing agency Kryptonite Digital is on the job. Like, did you know that the best times to post varies on the kind of social media platform you're on? Because Kryptonite does. Friday, for example, is the best time for some Facebook updates if, like me, you get a weird and creepy sense of satisfaction based on how many people like your new status. Good to know.
Sunday, on the other hand, between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. EST, is the best time to get some serious re-tweets on Twitter. But why is that? 50 percent of the population is in the Eastern Time Zone, and 80 percent is in the combined EST and Central Time Zones. And Sunday night, when we're all trying to avoid thinking about work and want to mindlessly scroll through people getting into fights over everything and nothing, is prime Twitter time. Right?
Another fun fact: Photos are prime engagement hubs on Facebook. 87 percent of Facebook interactions take place on photo posts, and 76 percent of Facebook page updates are photos. "Interactions," just to clarify, mean likes, comments and shares. For social media managers, likes are easier to gain, but shares are what they really chase after. And that makes sense: shares immediately increase the visibility of a post, so if you're looking to gain some social media popularity of your own, likes may boost your ego, but shares get your face "out there." Or whatever.

Waterbird Series Canvas Print/Loon 8x8"
Waterbird Series Canvas Print/Loon 8x8"
For the birds!
Both of our kids were crazy about birds when they were babies. Some of their first words and sound effects were 'duck', the 'keer-keer' of a seagull and the 'caw-caw' of a crow. The delight these birds brought to the kids inspired Katy to create a series that celebrates some of our local waterbirds.
Originally painted in acrylic by Katy. Adapted for print in Adobe Illustrator by Bodin.
This premium wrapped gloss canvas is made from an additive-free cotton-poly blend and features a special ink-receptive coating that protects the printed surface from cracking or fading.

Over here in the Maldives we're still being skunked by an unfavourable winds and everyone is seeking out an alternative to surfing. Sure, we've surfed. But the waves are onshore and small and I couldn't possible file a post from the Maldives with waves of that quality. We wait for quality. The Ocean Dancer is decked with dive gear so while some of the crew go to deep the rest of us snorkel on top. The waters of the Maldives are some of the bluest and most pristine in the world so there's plenty to see and marvel at. We've also had time to visit a local island village, spend an afternoon on a world class resort and of course we've been indulding in the odd afternoon beer between servings of french cuisine. It's a life of luxury. But it's not surfing! There's a swell coming and the wind is forecast to swing late on Saturday. We're due to fly out late Sunday so it could be a race against time. Let's hope we've got some epic surfing images for you to see Monday.
PS - I couldn't access the Sydney surf forecast for the weekend so don't pay any attention to the Surf Forecast

Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA
A 16 kW (4.6 refrigerant tons) steam driven, double effect, parallel flow absorption chiller has been designed, manufactured, and installed in the Intelligent Workplace (IW) of Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). This chiller is driven by 6 bar saturated steam and uses a 57% LiBr-H2 O sorbent. It is the smallest absorption chiller available in the existing market. The absorption chiller consists of five major and four minor heat transfer components. The manufacturer of the chiller has provided information on detailed configuration and dimensions of these components to support the calculation of their heat transfer areas, A's, and the estimation of overall heat transfer coefficients, U's. A steady state computational performance model for the chiller has been developed based on the applicable scientific and engineering principles. The model has been used to calculate all chiller internal working conditions and to analyze the experimental data over a wide range of operating conditions. Heat transfer coefficients inside and outside of the tubes making up the chiller's heat transfer components have been estimated by published empirical correlations. The product of the overall heat transfer coefficient and the surface contact area, UA's, for the 5 major heat transfer components have been estimated using the chiller model and measured performance data. Significant variations, 30%, in this parameter are observed under partial load, reduced flow conditions. Deviations between the experimental measurements and the model solutions have been analyzed to evaluate the model accuracy. At design operating conditions, the overall deviation is about 6%.
