MSc (Brain and Cognitive Sciences)
Present Work:
I study how a neural correlate of consciousness, the Visual Awareness Negativity (VAN) (Wilenius-Emet, Revonsuo, & Ojanen, 2004), relates to how subjects rate their visual experiences on the Perceptual Awareness Scale (PAS) (Ramsøy, & Overgaard, 2004). Furthermore, I am involved in a project investigating whether the symptoms of visual neglect arise because of a spatial deficiency or because of a perceptual deficiency.
Future Work:
My Ph.D. project is part of a collective project with Professor Morten Overgaard, Assistant Professor Thor Grünbaum, PostDoc Mark Schram Christensen, and Ph.D.-student Mikkel Vinding, which is titled Phenomenal Consciousness and Cognitive Motor Control. My area of responsibility will be to investigate conscious experiences of movements, ranging from self-initiated motor actions to forced movements. The main focus of investigation will be on how and if the experiences differ as to what kinds of neural traces they leave behind in the brain. This will be used to establish correspondence between subjective and objective measures of consciousness of movements.
Past Work:
Involved in a study relating GABA-concentration to performance on different visual tasks.
At Emory University I programmed a visual masking experiment for testing on rhesus monkeys at the Laboratory of Comparative Primate Cognition at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center. Title of research project: Dissociation of visual detection and visual localization in rhesus monkeys.
At the University of Amsterdam I organised and carried out an experiment centred around a feedback-task, where children between the ages of 7 and 13 years were tested. Subsequently I carried out the statistical analyses and Markov-modelling of the data. Title of research project: Cognitive strategy differences as an index of developmental differences in children and adolescents.

|Freeman's Pools at Dusk
Dusk is an interesting time even still with many species still very active into darkness. A kingfisher was attempting to catch one last meal of the day in very poor light and both kestrel and sparrowhawk were putting in plenty of effort. The kestrel struck lucky with a field vole, while the sparrowhawk failed an attempt to snatch a starling from the mini-murmuration taking place over the pools. Meanwhile a stoat was snaking its way through the waterside vegetation.
A few more cold nights and we may well see an migrant owl or two appearing on the patch as they head for food-rich coastal areas.
|Frosty Freeman's Pools
Things were much the same on the ponds and pools this morning, with the usual number of coot, gadwall, mallard, tufted duck, teal and little grebe present. A single goldeneye was on one of the upper ponds and a kingfisher was again at the sluiced pool. A pair of reed bunting were busy extracting seeds from the reed heads.
Elsewhere, a great-crested grebe was on the Lune off Marsh Point and the wintering greenshank was out on the marsh.
Four grey partridge were feeding in the fields and a common buzzard was cruising around searching for something to eat. 3 siskins flew over toward Freeman's Wood and a party of 4 bullfinch were in the hawthorns along the cycle track. All the expected winter thrushes were seen in varying numbers.
Several hundred geese, presumably pinkfeet, were wheeling around in the distance somewhere over Oxcliffe / Heysham, while the usual gaggle of greylags and Canada geese were scattered around the marsh. The bar-headed goose was among these.
Talking of geese, there were two Canadas on Freeman's Pools today, each sporting both a BTO metal and a red darvic ring. Whether the original lone goose of recent weeks has been joined by another ringed individual, or the lone goose has gone and been replaced by two 'new' ringed birds I cannot say. Regardless, I was able to read the letters on these two birds' rings and will doubtless discover their origins to be no further than than Windermere, where a ringing project has been in place for some time.

The National Centre for Circus Arts will hold auditions for their Foundation Degree programme in Belfast for the first time this year.
The centre is one of eight affiliates of the prestigious Conservatoire for Dance and Drama, whose other members include RADA, LAMDA and Central School of Ballet.
Tim Roberts, a National Teaching Fellowship award winner and the National Centre's HE Courses Director, says that there has been a long association between Belfast and the London school. "Many of our alumni have come from Northern Ireland over the years. They will nearly all have had an association with Belfast Community Circus and the amazing work they have done during their 30 year history. The standards of those who we have auditioned have always been high. We thought it was time that we explored this relationship a bit further."
"We want to hear from anyone who has the ambition to make a career out of performance. You may have done circus, dance, gymnastics or parkour. You could be a skater or been climbing lamp posts as a kid. People from all backgrounds in performance join our programmes. What you do isn't as important as your will to learn."
The popularity of circus arts has seen huge growth in recent years. From global multi-billion dollar companies such as Cirque du Soleil, to a burgeoning circus industry across the UK and Europe, venues, theatres and festivals are seeing record audiences for circus across the country.
The National Centre for Circus Arts offers further and higher education programmes, ranging from a BTEC qualification to a Postgraduate Certificate and BA (Hons) Degree in Circus Arts. Their graduates work around the world with companies like Cirque du Soleil and Les 7 Doigts de la Main, as well as with some of the UK's most reputable companies including the Royal Shakespeare Company, Roundhouse, English National Opera and the National Theatre.

Hypnotist helps recover lost bitcoin passwords
As seen in Wall Street Journal
Lost bitcoin e-wallet passwords can be a nightmare. Especially if you have a large number of bitcoins lost in the ether.
"Crypto-Hypnotist" is the catch phrase given to those of us who help people recover lost bitcoin passwords.

The finance ministry may put on hold the final phase of its two-year-old road map that was meant to give complete freedom to public sector banks (PSB) to choose their statutory central auditors. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), the audit standard setting and regulatory body, has been opposing the `autonomy' move from the very beginning, as it felt that by giving the banks the powers to choose their auditors, the government was weakening the auditor's powers to make critical observations against the PSBs.
Instead of the earlier decision to allow PSBs to obtain the names of eligible audit firms directly from the office of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG), and appoint their auditors from 2010-11 onwards, the ministry is likely to ask banks to follow the previous year's practice, which necessitates the involvement of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in the selection process.
During 2009-10, RBI had forwarded a list of eligible audit firms containing the names of those equal to twice the number of vacancies identified for the year to the PSBs to choose from.
The preparation of this list was based on certain selection criteria.
The RBI guideline says the allotment of audit is being made strictly in the order of seniority of the firms in the ratio of 60:40 among the "experienced" and "new" audit firms, respectively. It had said this system of audit assignment on the basis of seniority would ensure equitable distribution among all eligible firms by way of rotation.
ICAI has been opposing this system, as it felt the age-old practice of RBI choosing the auditors for PSBs or the system followed in 2008-09, where RBI forwarded a list containing the names of audit firms equivalent to the total number of vacancies, were the only ones that empowered firms to do their job without fearlessly.
"We have met the Prime Minister, the finance minister and several key officials in the ministry to express our concern. Unless the number of audit firms chosen are exactly the same as that of existing vacancies, the 60:40 ratio prescribed by the government to ensure equitable distribution of audit assignments will not work," said ICAI president Amarjit Chopra.
"If navaratna and miniratna companies of the government are audited by CAG-selected firms, why should there be an autonomy to the banks where larger money is involved?" Chopra asked.
On the government's plan to maintain status quo this year, Chopra said he would still prefer the old system.

This is dope.
Bruce Springsteen speaking in Spanish to a live audience in Santiago, Chile on September 12, the singing Víctor Jara's "Manifesto," just a day after the 40th anniversary of one of the darkest days in the country's history.
< iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/6zX2L-RiGRI" height="480" width="640" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0">
Bruce was cool before, but now he is on another level for us. He is Jara's original version below.
The Nation's Greg Mitchell wrote about the tribute, and about Jara, who was killed during a coup back by the United States. Mitchell also included a translation of "Manifesto:"
I don't sing for love of singing
or to show off my voice
but for the statements
made by my honest guitar
for its heart is of the earth
and like the dove it goes flying….
Yes, my guitar is a worker
shining and smelling of spring
my guitar is not for killers
greedy for money and power
but for the people who labor
so that the future may flower.
For a song takes on a meaning
when its own heart beat is strong
sung by a man who will die singing
truthfully singing his song.
I don't care for adulation
or so that strangers may weep.
I sing for a far strip of country
narrow but endlessly deep.

Sor María Antonia de la Purísima Concepción, 18th century, Ex Convento de Culhuacán (pictures), Mexico City. Click on the image to enlarge. The caption records her parents' names, her birthdate, and the date and place she took the habit for the first time. As the picture indicates, by the time of its making the Virgen de Guadalupe had become an officially-approved icon for devout Catholics.
Image found here via a correspondent.
My source for this image was a recent visitor to this blog, and her kind e-mail, which mentioned in passing that entering a convent was a way for young women of mixed race to obtain a more-secure place in colonial Spanish America, has prompted me to pick up a loose end from my more recent posts on the Virgen de Guadalupe.
The loosest of those ends (for me) was how the Church reconciled the Virgen de Guadalupe's association with the Immaculate Conception with her depiction as a mestiza, especially given the Church's active role in the policing of racial hierarchies. That question begins to get answered via María Elena Martínez's excellent book Genealogical Fictions: Limpieza de Sangre, Religion, and Gender in Colonial Mexico. Martínez notes that, whereas limpieza de sangre ("purity of blood") originated in Spain during the Reconquista as a way of determining not race but a genealogy of religious affiliation (those who could demonstrate that their families had been Christians for at least three generations (unless someone in their family had been a Muslim) were thus eligible for the higher government and Church posts–as an aside, this explains why Cabeza de Vaca refers to himself and his fellow castaways not as Spaniards but as Christians), over time in the Americas the term came to indicate racial distinctions.
The existence of the Indians were the cause of this change in the term's meaning. They were regarded as pure, but:
Ambiguities in the purity status of native people [. . .] emanated from the very contradictions of Spanish colonialism, from a political ideology that on the one hand announced that they were untainted because they lacked Jewish, Muslim and heretical antecedents and had willingly accepted the faith, and on the other constantly iterated that they would revert to idolatry if left to their own devices and in the hands of misguided leaders. (214)
These contradictions led as well to a lack of consistency among the different religious orders regarding how to think through this question. The Franciscans, for example, didn't regard indigenous descent that was sufficiently distant in one's past as a hindrance to determining one's purity (and, thus, access to sinecures in the Church and government). But the Spanish-born and those born of Spanish parents in Mexico (read: those traditionally the only ones eligible for such positions) obviously did not agree with less-strict understandings of purity (Martínez, 219).
Enter both the genre of casta paintings and the rising prominence of the Virgen of Guadalupe.

The debate over genetically modified food is not a new one. Most recently, Rothamsted Research – the research institution attempting to grow wheat designed to be resistant to aphids and, thus, require less insecticide – has drawn the ire of environmental activists and protestors.

Lost and found in translation
By Julius Mugwagwa, recently in Francophone Africa
My recent journeys to Burkina Faso have grossly exposed my inability to converse in the French language. I have not felt so incapable language-wise in the many times I have travelled; not even in the two weeks I spent in China at a Research Councils UK and Chinese Academy of Sciences Summer School in 2009, or in Havana, Cuba at the Global Forum for Health Research Conference at the end of 2009. Maybe it was, largely, because on these instances I was travelling with colleagues from DPP and/or INNOGEN, and we were participating in meetings where l'anglais langue (English language for those limited in le français langue!) was the main language of communication.

Gillespie Ran a JEB! Campaign in a Trump World
Four years ago, Virginia conservatives were told you couldn't win with a candidate who excited the Republican base. Conservatives were told that candidates like Ken Cuccinelli spelled certain doom, that the answer was a moderate establishment candidate. Tonight we now know that that candidate Ed Gillespie did worse than Ken Cuccinelli did. And Cuccinelli performed better without the support of the Virginia GOP establishment.
Ed Gillespie is certainly a good fellow. But his campaign used messages from 2004 and tactics from 1996. It seemed to exist outside of the ferocious upheavals of the modern polarized political world.
Let's take a look at a few pieces of mail I received. Put aside the woeful electronic media campaign, and the nearly non-existent social media effort. Let's just look at the mail.
The messaging was almost nostalgic, longing for a political world pre-Trump, pre-Obama, pre-polarization. It's as if President Bush was running for reelection in 2004, and it was no accident we seemed to get the same campaign. To the mail pieces.
You know when a Republican cites MSNBC there's trouble. When I received this, I assumed it was a mailing from a Democrat: "MSNBC – The Tone of Negative Politics Has to Change."
Great Scott, MSNBC?! A Republican? When MSNBC says the "tone of negative politics has to change," I know exactly who and what they are talking about: Trump, conservatives, anyone with a principle, anyone who believes in the Constitution. What was it doing in my mailbox?
But it got worse.
Other material in support of Gillespie cited the loathsome Richmond Times and the even more loathsome DNC public relations firm known as the Washington Post.
"Many who have known him for years regard Mr. Gillespie as a centrist and a pragmatist," announced the Washington Post. "Gillespie Urges Compassion," hailed the Richmond Times.
Pinch me. Am I awake? Am I dreaming I am back in Philadelphia in the summer of 2000? Is this the GOP convention? The "torn newspaper" clip art was from the age of Motorola flip-phones. Is the mailing a spoof, a well-targeted Northam effort to depress turnout among conservatives?
But it wasn't. It was real.
Let's be clear. Unlike plenty of other candidates, Gillespie is a good fellow. But Gillespie ran a Jeb campaign in a Trump world. In fact, he avoided the president and the president's supporters noticed.
Equally gracious is Gillespie's wife Cathy. But when I got a campaign letter from her in support of her husband, I could only think – some consultant needs to lose their job for writing this and sending it to me. Let's do the time warp, back to 1996 and the Dole campaign:

In the wake of the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut the motherfucking whackjobs at Westboro Baptist Church announced they'd be picketing some of the funerals.
Of course. There is no wound deep enough for them to not run for the salt shaker.
The New Civil Rights Movemement reported yesterday about all of the counterprotesters who showed up to protect the town from the motherfucking whackjobs: firefighters from other states, The Patriot Guard, ordinary people who were moved to act as angels of mercy. I'm glad they were there; I hate that they had to be.

CNN is currently airing a special on the crash of flight TWA 800.
The airliner was most likely taken down by a shoulder-fired surface-to-air missile launched by a terrorist operating at the behest of Saddam Hussein's Iraq (follow that link for elaboration). This was the second episode of the FBI and US intelligence community (intetionally?) overlooking the involvement of Saddam Hussein's culpability in engaging in terrorism against America in the wake of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing which also was the handiwork of the Iraqi dictator. Laurie Mylroie and I have tried time and time again to get the FBI and US intelligence community to deal with this reality to no avail. To the contrary, justice has been obstructed at the highest levels of government. The consequence was 9/11 and the subsequent anthrax mailings. Somehow even after those immense terrorist assaults against America, US intelligence still remained wittingly oblivious to Iraqi involvement. Fortunately, President George W. Bush saw through the idiocy of the politicized intelligence agencies that have persisted in failing to protect national security and made the right decision to take out Saddam Hussein. But does the story end there?
Elements of the Sunni Muslim terrorist cell, that ultimately succeeded in taking down the Twin Towers in 2001 after an unsuccessful try in 1993, continues to live and work in New York City. Will this ever be addressed by the FBI?

Intensive, sustained special education programs and behavior therapy early in life can help these kids acquire self-care, social, and job skills, and often improve functioning and decrease symptom severity and maladaptive behaviors. Claims that intervention "must" occur before the age of three for it to be effective are not substantiated.
- applied behavior analysis
- developmental models
- structured teaching
- speech and language therapy
- social skills therapy
- occupational therapy
There is scant reliable research about the effectiveness or safety of drug treatments for individuals with ASD. A child or teen with ASD may respond atypically to medications, the medications can have adverse effects, and no known medication relieves ASD's core symptoms of social and communication difficulties.
Though most alternative treatments (e.g., melatonin) have only mild adverse effects, some may place the child at risk. One study found that, compared to their peers, boys with ASD have significantly thinner bones if on casein-free diets. And in 2005, botched chelation therapy killed a five-year-old child with Autism.

Frontier(s) (2007)
1 comment:
"I can't say it's up there with Inside and Martyrs, two of the best horror movies to ever come from France,"
I have to say I prefer Frontier(s)in front of those two, I thought they were more uneven, flawed.
"Could be, but I think it's mostly a primitive look at what happens to a country when it's fucked up by right-wing governments, war, cynicism and religion."
Yeah...all of those nazi war criminals like Klaus Barbie, Paul Schäfer etc that escaped justice to south america and continued making crimes, murder, rape etc.
"We're living in a Europe which now is rapidly going back the fascism of the thirties and forties and no one seem to care."
It worries me a lot.
"Like Samuel Fuller's White Dog there's an ending that leaves no room for forgiveness or understanding, and I'm grateful for that."
Both these films carry a strong message, it´s nice to see, always felt US made horror lacks a subtext.
"That's the only weak thing with Frontier(s), it's too generic."
Yeah....too many clichés in it I think.
Great review ninja, I want to see some more horror review from France.

Windows 7
Reinstall Win7 32bit to Win7 64bit /backup disc content
I purchased the Win 7 Pro Upgrade 32bit via digitalriver, but I've been doing some reseach and probably should have selected the 64bit version.
- Any ideas how I can get the 64bit version?
- For those who ordered the 32bit back-up disc kit for the extra $15 and have received it, does it come with both 32bit & 64bit?
- I've already installed and activated the 32bit version, but when I go to install the 64bit version, will I need to / is there a way to deactivate my initial 32bit install or will this not matter?
Thanks for your advice.

Camo15, Welcome to SevenForums
The first two questions call Digital River about a refund and reorder. Have heard that some have had success with that. No need to un activate however if you decide to try to use that Key again then you will have to call MS and talk to them to make it work on another pc if that is your intent. Good luck to you and enjoy!

Fanatic! Hello from raining Antwerp, Belgium. I have some film work out here for the next few days. I have to be on set soon so this might be a bit brief
This is our last show for October. We are working away on our November shows and I think you will like them. We will be getting into the Scott Walker / Sunn 0))) collaboration album, the Fugazi Demos album to name but two. I was at Dischord the other day when the CD version of that one came in. Very cool to see it.
I don't remember if I told you that I had asked permission of members of the band Spittin' Teeth, if I could play some of the unreleased stuff that I was sent. I was given the green light and so we will get into that soon. For tonight, dig the demo version of their epic tune "Destruction."
All in all, we have a great mix tape of a show. A lot of it is familiar but that's the spirit of this month, in my opinion.
Just got word from Kathi Wilcox of the Julie Ruin that they will be in LA for shows. 11/03 at USC and 11/06 at the Troubadour. I will so see you there. What a band!
I have been getting a lot of mail about what's happening in the world of Greg Ginn, the article written in the Austin Chronicle, the newly posted video of him with the girl onstage, etc. Those are some pretty intense allegations being leveled at him. I am not the one to ask about any of it though, I have no idea what the man gets up to.
Dig the last days of October and STAY FANATIC!!!

Download 64-bit drivers
Expert Recommendations
I was excited about having more than 4 gigs of ram in my new 64 bit Computer, but getting drivers was freaking impossible! Thanks Driver Robot for hooking me up with the right 64 bits drivers.
Thomas Bullard, CA
Download Now - driver update tool
If you're lucky enough to own a computer with a 64-bit processor, you know that there are some driver compatibility issues that came along with your more capable CPU. Manufacturers don't always make it easy to find device drivers for 64-bit computers - but we do.
Downloading all the correct 64-bit drivers for your system is a breeze with Driver Robot. Driver Robot's massive database of more than 2,000,000 device drivers includes 64-bit compatible drivers for almost every device. It's fast, automatic, and easy - all you have to do is download it now!
Driver Robot automatically updates:
- Sound card drivers
- Printer drivers
- Video card drivers
- Motherboard drivers
- Webcam drivers
- Wireless drivers
- Bluetooth drivers
- FireWire drivers
- Ethernet drivers
- Windows XP drivers
- Windows Vista drivers
- USB drivers
- Chipset drivers
- AC97 drivers
- DVD drivers
- Router drivers
Please tell us about the drivers you need:
Three reasons to use Driver Robot to update your 64-bit drivers:
Driver Robot knows where manufacturers keep their 64-bit drivers.
If you have a 64-bit computer, you're not in the majority - and hardware manufacturers always gear their support pages to serve the majority of their users. This means that if you want official 64-bit drivers for your system, you're going to have to do some digging.
Multiply this by the 20 drivers you need for your system, and it starts to look like a pretty big waste of time. Instead, you should use Driver Robot. Driver Robot's database of 64-bit drivers is updated regularly, and always contains the latest official 64-bit drivers for your system.
Be sure you're getting the correct 64-bit driver.
Installing the wrong driver on your system - especially a 32-bit driver - can have disastrous consequences. Driver Robot reads your hardware's unique identification information and only ever installs drivers that match your system perfectly. With Driver Robot, you're guaranteed to get the latest 64-bit drivers for your hardware, so you never have to worry about damage from compatibility errors.
Keep your 64-bit drivers updated when new versions are released.
Most manufacturers are constantly improving their new 64-bit drivers. New versions of these drivers will give you improved stability and performance. If you're running new 64-bit drivers on your system, it's critical that you always have the latest drivers in order for you to take advantage of these improvements! Driver Robot's database is constantly being updated with the latest revisions of official 64-bit drivers, so you'll always be able to get the latest official release.
Watch how Driver Robot updates your 64-bit system with new drivers in 3 simple steps:
Installation and initial driver scan
Once you've downloaded and installed Driver Robot - which takes about 2 minutes - it will immediately begin a full scan of your system. One of the first things it checks is whether you're running a 64-bit CPU and operating system. Then, it checks the rest of the hardware in your computer for their unique identifiers.
It uses this information to communicate with the driver database and request a list of available 64-bit driver updates that are compatible with your system.
Driver report: Available 64-bit driver updates
Following the scan, Driver Robot will present to you a list of available updates from its database of 2,000,000 device drivers. You can be completely assured that all driver updates presented to you in this step are 100% compatible with your system - Driver Robot only ever requests drivers that match all of the hardware in your system.
The list clearly marks drivers that need updating or devices without drivers, making it easy to resolve difficult driver problems that cause instability and poor performance.
Automatic 64-bit driver download and installation
Following the report, Driver Robot automatically downloads and installs the drivers on to your system. Your driver downloads are served from a world-wide network of fast download mirrors, so the files arrive on your system almost instantly.
After Driver Robot is done these three simple steps, all you have to do is restart your computer for the new drivers to take action. You're now running with 100% up-to-date 64-bit drivers!
Driver Pro guarantee: Driver Robot is 100% safe for your computer
At Driver Pro, we take great pains to only recommend software that is safe from your computer and free of viruses, spyware, and other malware. We've tested Driver Robot rigorously on our own machines and found that it exceeds all of our expectations as far as performance and safety are concerned. Stop using broken, out-of-date drivers - use Driver Robot to update your 64-bit drivers today!

Customer Testimonials
I cannot say enough good things about this company. My grandchild got into permanent markers and had a hay day drawing all over my living room walls… a week before I was giving a retirement party for my husband! A friend recommended St. Louis Paining Inc. I gave them a call and they came out the very next day. They were able to match the color of the paint in my living room and three days later my walls were freshly painted and marker free. The staff was friendly and professional and treated my house as if it was their own. I enjoyed working with them and plan to hire them again for any future paint projects I need done.
My wife and I hired St. Louis Painting Inc when we decided to renovate our house. These guys really know their stuff and were great about communicating with us. One of the members of their design team came on the first day and sat down with us and really listened to what we envisioned for our house, then she and the rest of the team at St. Louis Painting Inc made it happen. St. Louis Painting Inc made sure to keep my wife and I in the loop at all times and never did anything without discussing it with us first. This did wonders for putting my wife's mind at ease. The final product was everything we hoped it would be. High quality work is what you can expect from this company!
I found St. Louis Painting Inc when I started plans for my new backyard shed. I'm a hobby carpenter, but I've always been terrible at painting, so I knew I wanted to hire that part of the project out. I chose this painting company because my cousin had recommended them, and I had a special interest in my pet project. They did a great job and put up with all of my quirks and particular requests. In retrospect, I think the thing they handled best was my nitpicking, but at the time, what I appreciated most was their high quality work and professionalism. I would definitely recommend this company.
So, in the beginning, the idea of building a house sounds wonderful. You get to make everything just the way you want to. Perfect, right? Actually, idealistic would be more the right word. My wife and I wanted to build the house of our dreams, but by the time we got to the painting part, we were exhausted and ready to be done with the whole project. St. Louis Painting Inc was such a life saver. After accidentally ordering the wrong color and spray painting our house a terrible salmon color, we were officially done. Enter St. Louis Painting Inc. We called them late notice and were able to fit us into their schedule within two weeks which is no small feat considering we needed a whole house painted. They helped us choose the right color and swiftly and professionally covered up the horror of the salmon walls. My wife and I have been living in our house for the last 6 months, and continue to love the work of this painting company. Great job guys!
I would never have even thought to look for a painting company if I hadn't offered to pet sit my sisters dog. She promised me that he was the sweetest, most docile animal in the world and "wouldn't be a bit of trouble." Uh huh. The thing barked until midnight after which time, out of desperation, I stuck him in the bathroom. I was, thankfully, able to sleep which was probably good considering what was there to greet me in the morning. My poor, poor bathroom was a complete wreck. The animal had somehow managed to scratch half of the paint of my walls! It looked like a battlefield of dog vs. walls. Such a nightmare. I called St. Louis Painting Inc without any previous knowledge or experience. They just popped up on my google search. I'm glad to say that it was a lucky guess. They were able to come out the same day I called and had the project finished by the end of the day. It looks beautiful, and they were so reasonable that my sister didn't even complain about the cost. Lucky guess, great service!
Please read through this whole review before making a judgement regarding this company. I hired St. Louis Painting Inc. to redo my kitchen trim. They came out, looked over the room, talked painting plans, and gave me an estimate. It sounded good, so I told them to go ahead. I didn't see the finished product until I got home from work, and I have to say that I was not pleased. The color that was up on the trim didn't look anything like what we had discussed. It made my kitchen dark and clashed horribly with the counters. In a huff, I called the company the next morning. They were extremely professional and told me that they would come and redo my kitchen with no further cost to me. The second time around, I was much, much happier. These guys make good on their promises which I think is a great policy for a company. In the end, I was pleased and would suggest them.
I used St. Louis Painting Inc to take care of some water damage that had occurred in my wallpapered living room. It was nothing extensive, but I was worried about matching the historic wallpaper. I saw this company advertised matching wallpaper, and so I gave them a call. To my surprise, they were able to make my living room look as good as new! This was a small project but I am a very happy costumer.

Artwork Service
What sets us apart from our competitors is our in-house artwork team, who can look after your artwork requirements from start to finish.
If you have artwork you wish to send you should know that we at the Mug Shop are happy to receive artwork files in the following professional formats: colour separated Vector graphics (Illustrator .eps), JPEG, TIFF or .psd (Photoshop files).
But if you don't have artwork in these formats, don't panic!
We can also accept files prepared in desktop packages such as Microsoft Word, Excel and Microsoft Powerpoint. These files, however, will usually require recreating to be suitable for print and this may incur a small additional charge.
And what if you don't have any artwork at all, well … still don't panic!
Our team of in-house designers, all with degrees in fine art and design, will create superb imagery for you! If all you have is stationery with your logo, or even if you just have a sketch on paper, our designers will work their miracles and delight you with the results. Whether a computer generated image or one that is hand-drawn or painted our designers will deliver!
We believe that we are the only dedicated promotional mug website that directly employs its own in-house designers of this calibre, that is, with fine-art and design degrees. When this is allied with over 30 years in-house marketing and promotional experience it gives us an edge over other on-line promotional mug providers. They provide mugs, sure, but we provide IMAGE as well. After all, why spend money on a printed mug if your logo doesn't do you justice when we can enhance it for you? Why make do with a few lines of text when a great new image will say much more?
So, when you're ready to send your artwork to us, we can receive artwork electronically via email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Upon receipt of artwork a digital proof will be sent for your approval prior to your order being completed.

Compare and Contrast
Graham at Greenwich Meridian and I have been talking about the new pier buildings. Graham says: I don't know what it is with the new pier buildings, but they make the Cutty Sark look terribly land-locked.
I can't help agreeing. There's now a long barrier of frankly inappropriate fake copper buildings (I'm sure the original plans said real copper – presumably that's been dropped because of the high price and the risk of theft but this stuff's vile) between the Cutty Sark and any kind of water. Of course the old pier was a mess, made worse when they took away the old Victorian waiting room 'because it was unrepairable' – it was sold to St Kitts, if memory serves, and, er, repaired.
Compare it with Graham's other picture, of the tall ship Thalassa, at Woolwich:
backdropped by modern buildings that I don't care for much either, but somehow they are far less in-yer-face.
I'm not saying we didn't need a pier building at Greenwich – we most certainly did need one. It's just that the one that's been built gets more intrusive every time I look at it, not less. It just isn't blending in.
Still, we have one thing to be grateful for. The giant illuminated Frankie and Benny's sign has been refused permission by the council after sixty-six objections. Of course it's possible F&B always knew they were on a sticky wicket and decided that the many weeks of free advertising to all those Clipper riders was worth the sign outlay even if they were going to be caught out. Doesn't look like they've appealed yet.
The utterly unloved Euston Station, built in spite of huge public protest (the loss of the original building and especially the Euston Arch outside being the catalyst for the modern preservation movement) is now, after 50-odd years, in line to be demolished and rebuilt, perhaps reinstating that arch. I hope we don't have to wait fifty years to lose that bloomin' pier.

Rewilding is an ambitious initiative to restore both ecosystems and local economies.
Europe is already a far richer place than many people imagine, with large carnivores recovering in numbers quickly. In densely populated, highly urbanised western Europe, few significant tracts of land are truly wild outside mountainous areas, such as the Alps and the Pyrenees. Yet the recently released Wilderness Register for Europe, which maps out the "wildness" of the continent for the first time, reveals huge areas of true wilderness in eastern Europe, Scandinavia and Iceland.
Wild nature is also benefiting from a burgeoning public appreciation. An ever-growing number of people enjoy hiking, hunting and fishing while wild plants, fruit and mushrooms are now a common sight on restaurant menus. On the back of this, the concept of rewilding is very much on the continent's conservation agenda. This is true in the UK with the establishment of Rewilding Britain in 2015 and an increasing belief that rewilding initiatives can benefit people, as well as biodiversity.
Rewilding in the UK is not only about reintroducing charasmatic megafauna, it is also about man. By 2020, four out of five Europeans will live in urban areas. Huge areas of land are being abandoned, as traditional village life declines and cultural values are eroded. According to a 2010 study by the Institute for European Environmental Policy, another 12 million to 18 million hectares will have been deserted in Europe by 2030.
At its very heart, rewilding is about the relationship between humans and the rest of the natural world. Just like the people of Africa, America and Asia, Europeans and Britons need to understand that they are part of, not separate from, nature. That while rewilding may involve lost species and the restoration of habitats, it is not a step back. Well-managed, it offers a hopeful and exciting way forward.
Ecosulis have been supporting a number of rewilding initiatives in the UK and are leading the way in terms of measuring the biodiversity impact of such programmes:
Remeasuring rewilding - why accurate reporting is vital
Beavers - Nature's water engineers
Devon beavers are officially working their magic
The lynx debate - why claims that sheep increase biodiversity are wrong
Cain Blythe recently spent time in Romania, Italy, Sweden and the Danube Delta to witness people putting their trust in nature and to see for himself the benefits rewilding can have for local communities:

Turning Back Europe's Ecological Clock

Eddie Jones: Ireland were the Six Nations favourites, they'll be "grossly disappointed"
- Author: Santos West Mar 14, 2017,
Mar 14, 2017, 0:15
Ireland are the last remaining obstacle in the way of a second straight Grand Slam and the record for most consecutive tier one Test wins.
"We've spoken about having two options", said Hartley. There's a perception that this Six Nations has been better and it probably has been, but you've still got to win and to win it you've got to stay undefeated.
They now have the chance to complete back-to-back Grand Slams in Dublin, a feat no team has managed to achieve since France in 1997 and 1998 when the tournament only had five teams.
"The performance against Scotland was pretty ruthless so it was a good progression for the team, but we've only equalled New Zealand's record".
On this week's edition of The Oval Office Podcast, Lee Byrne tells us what's gone wrong with Wales and how many dragons are likely to feature for the Lions. That is something we want to do to teams - try and take them to a different level and hopefully we can do that. "He understands the game and I think we can get the ball to the space pretty well".
"We have been together now for eight weeks, the same as you are together to get to a World cup final", said Jones.
"If we were to get beaten on Saturday, is it a failure?"
On a day where their male counterparts set records of their own, England Women set the tone with Kay Wilson scoring a Championship-best seven tries against Scotland.
"Last year we were nervous and I expect us to be nervous this year".
"This is another great challenge, one that will be right up there, but we've very excited about it". We have to start with a strong game, with a lot of pressure so that we don't give them an opportunity to play the way they did against the All Blacks. "We kept going until the very end".
"We acknowledge we've won the Six Nations but we want the Grand Slam". "We know Ireland are going to be fired up for it and we're hugely motivated to do it".
Daly, however, remains with the England squad as he undergoes the head injury assessment protocols for players with suspected concussion.

My weekly routine
Monday: swimming am, bootcamp pm
Tuesday: running am, swimming pm
Wednesday: swim club pm
Thursday: running pm
Friday: swimming am
Saturday: Parkrun am, swimming pm
Sunday: swimming am, tennis am
Here is a flat lay of the outfit I wore for tennis today. It's probably my favourite at the moment. I have a large wardrobe of workout wear these days. For shoes and leggings I go with Nike and for tops I usually prefer Puma. I'll write a separate review on my favourite products later.
This morning I played tennis for a couple of hours at tennis club. I love tennis and I wish I had the opportunity to play more frequently. It is always a highlight of my week. Unfortunately I didn't feel I played my best today which was disappointing and I'm not entirely sure why. But it's a social competition and there's always next week.
This week I completed three runs. It's often hard to find the motivation for the Thursday night run because by that time of the week I've done lots of sport, I'm really tired and I know I have a 4.45am wakeup on Friday. Ideally I'd move this run to another day but there isn't much other time. I also don't like to go a day without sport and I don't like to move it to the morning because Wednesday is a late night.
On Saturday I attended the Parkrun but at a different location to usual. I prefer my home Parkrun overall because it's familiar and I know exactly what I need to do there to run a good time. But at the same time I enjoyed the change and am definitely up for trying others in the coming weeks. The best news was my friend from swimming came to Parkrun this week for the first time! Training with friends is always better. However, on a more negative note, I struggled with the run more than ever before. After the run I felt like I was going to faint for at least half an hour. I couldn't stand up, my head was spinning and I couldn't see straight. It made no sense because I was over two minutes outside my best 5km time and over a minute slower than what I'd consider good for the distance. I have not ever had a response like that to a race before (not in swimming or running). I've run countless 5kms faster and multiple long races including a half marathon. I'm at a loss as to what went wrong and that's frustrating. I'm disappointed and angry at myself and doubting aspects I shouldn't be such as my fitness level. I know objectively I shouldn't be but I'm extremely harsh on myself and I always overthink setbacks.
This week I completed five training sessions and went to the usual Wednesday night swim club racing. I'm happy with a total of 14.35km for the week. I also completed two of the long distance swims for the Masters Swimming Australia Endurance Program. It's a year long program which involves 62 long distance swims. This week I finished the 30 minute freestyle and 30 minute backstroke. I was pleased with all my race times for Wednesday night swim club especially the 100m freestyle (1:12.88) and the 100m individual medley (1:23.72) which was a personal best.
- Improve my diet. I've said that for so many weeks (or even months now) but it just doesn't happen. I'm putting lots of effort into training so I feel I'm letting myself down diet wise.
_ Leg strength. Whenever I run at a pace of under 5 minutes per kilometre, my legs hurt so much in the hamstrings but mainly the calves. It appears my carido level is such better than body strength. The frustrating part is I've been trying to address this for many months through weights and strengthening exercises. It may have improved a little but not substantially. I'm not entirely sure what can be done. Maybe different exercises or more of them. I'll try and research it.
- I'd like to fit more bootcamp style activities in my standard week. I don't have time for another session but maybe an extra set of pushups here and there or a set of crunches on additional days.
Weekly Photo
This week's random photo is of an empty pool. It's not often you see a pool which is completely free but it's ideal when it does happen.
What did you achieve this week?

This is the new Lexus NX. It's the firm's new premium mid-size crossover (read 4x4) and a key rival to the Audi Q5, BMW X3 and Range Rover Evoque.
The NX is instrumental in the manufacturer's aim to attract a new, younger customer base to the brand. As such, it's expected to be the top-selling model in the Lexus line-up.
Initially available as a hybrid only, it offers some of the most generous interior space in the segment, a decent boot and some neat technology too. It's also great to drive, with confidence in corners and enough performance for anyone buying a car like this.
Design played a key part in the new NX's development and this seems to have paid off - it's certainly a head-turner with striking looks and defined, sculpted lines. There isn't another car in the sector with such a distinctive aesthetic.
Hybrid is key
Unsurprisingly, Lexus believes the most popular choice for UK buyers will be the 4x4 hybrid version which boasts CO2 emissions and fuel consumption of 121g/km and 54.3mpg respectively, so it's impressive whether it's the private buyer, company car driver or fleet manager.
Available in both front and all-wheel drive versions, the 2.5-litre petrol engine, when combined with the generator, motor and battery produces an impressive 195bhp.
It's a simple car to drive and feels reassuringly well put together; Lexus (and parent company Toyota) has made big strides in this respect and quality really does shine through here.
A newly developed 2.0-litre petrol turbo will also be available from February next year exclusively to the F-Sport trim all-wheel drive version.
Loaded with tech
There's a generous amount of equipment on offer here. Lexus has developed a wireless charging system for your portable devices available on top level trims, while an all-new touchpad interface is used to control the multimedia system. Adaptive cruise control and emergency collision-sensing braking are now available as standard across the range.
You also have a raft of safety systems such as a head-up display, blind spot monitoring and a rear-facing system to detect cars crossing your path from behind.
On the outside the car wears either 17- or 18-inch alloy wheels and sports LED daytime running lights , headlights and tail lights.
There's a clever door lock system which hides the key barrel inside the door and the door handles light up when you approach the car (on selected trims), while inside there's a modern dash with lashings of leather and screens displaying relevant information.
Prices for the new Lexus NX start at £29,495 with five different trims to choose from; S, SE, Luxury, F Sport and Premier. At the top of the range you're well over £40k and nudging Porsche Macan territory, but we don't see the high-performance German as true competition for the NX. It's telling we've mentioned it though: perhaps that's a measure of just how good this car actually is.
First deliveries start in October this year and we're expecting these to go like hotcakes. To find out if it's the car for you, read on for the full Lexus NX review.

Finally we get to some real horn playing, and this week is jam packed with information to consider in relation to your typical warm-up and practice habits.
First up is a brief reading relating to the topic of practice.
With that we turn to the warmup. For this 2016 course update I have two questions to ask first:
- When was the first horn warmup published?
- When did players start warming up?
It is actually pretty notable that the first horn warmup materials were not published until 1941, Daily Exercises for French Horn by Max Pottag. A very recent Doctoral project by Alex Manners goes into this whole topic more, and is reviewed in a pair of podcasts presented here. In that article I also note that horn players before 1940 probably warmed up but not as we do today. Going to our beginnigs, "…it seems to me if you look at say the Duvernoy Méthode pour le Cor (1802) the general idea way back then was probably just to noodle around on short exercises until you felt ready to go." There are exercises in published routines that must have their roots in earlier times, but the general scheme of warming-up on the horn as we think of it now was likely unknown before the 20th century.
In any case the Hornmasters have a lot to say on the topic, in a group of readings linked below.
- Understanding the Hornmasters on the Warm-Up
- Farkas and Schuller on the Warm-Up
- Yancich on the Second and Third Warm-Up
- Berv on the Shorter Warm-Up
- More Thoughts on the Warm-Up
After discussing that we turn back to the broader topic of practice:
Solo and chamber repertoire will be covered in much more depth in the spring semester; this class session is only meant to give a taste of the topic. However, this is the class session where we briefly highlight some of the most practical of our etude literature. Please refer to this article for highlights of what will be discussed in class as well.
A lot of those etudes not coincidentally can be used very effectively to work on slurs, legato, and tonguing, the topic we delve into next week.
For those following online only, you may wish to read the series of three articles that starts here on etudes that I use in my teaching to get some sense of the actual class discussion we will have.
And to close I would simply note that I am really not convinced that every published warm-up you will find is actually realistically what the author normally personally did. Maybe it is, but then again maybe it was more what they hoped to do or recommended to people, but when push came to shove they had other ways to personally warm-up that set up their chops better for actual performances. There is no one-size-fits-all plan for warming up, and there is a very good argument to be made that if you don't vary it over time you will not progress on the horn. And remember, too, that some routines were in fact used prescriptively in teaching by the author to address specific needs of individual students, such as Caruso. For more on Caruso routines and the horn see this article:
This is week 6 of a fourteen week course in horn pedagogy. The introductory article is here, and the series is presented for the educational purposes of our readers.

Posted 1 June 2017. PMN Crop News.
New Journal Provides Next-Generation Research for Sustainable Plant Productivity
Source: The American Phytopathological Society Press Release. www.apsnet.org
St. Paul, Minnesota (May 22, 2017)--According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the global demand for food, feed, and fiber is expected to double by 2050, despite the emerging challenges of extreme weather events, unsustainable fertilizer inputs, decreasing farmland, and plateauing crop yields.
In July 2015, a group of leading scientists converged on Washington, D.C., to confront these challenges and demands. From this meeting, a new science discipline was solidified, one that focuses on finding new and sustainable crop production practices by researching the thousands of potential interactions within the plant's biome, or ecosystem. The name of this new area of study: phytobiomes.
Phytobiomes (apsjournals.apsnet.org/toc/pbiomes/current), a groundbreaking new journal launched by The American Phytopathological Society, was developed to be the premier research conduit for this important new discipline of the same name.
The fundamental and translational research from this fully open-access journal is expected to provide the basis for many next-generation approaches to sustainable crop production by reporting on all manner of interactions between the plants, their environment, and the complex communities of organisms influencing their health and productivity.
"Building the phytobiomes community centered around plant productivity was just the beginning," said Dr. Carolyn Young, Editor-in-Chief of Phytobiomes. "Now we also have a journal that can provide impact to the ensuing research. The scope is broad enough that transdisciplinary research not only fits but is encouraged."
All Phytobiomes articles are fully open-access. Those comprising the first issue include:
• "Welcome to Phytobiomes" by Carolyn A. Young and Linda Kinkel
• "Response of Sediment Bacterial Communities to Sudden Vegetation Dieback in a Coastal Wetland" by Wade H. Elmer, Peter Thiel, and Blaire Steven
• "A Dimorphic and Virulence-Enhancing Endosymbiont Bacterium Discovered in Rhizoctonia solani" by Ken Obasa, Frank F. White, John Fellers, Megan Kennelly, Sanzhen Liu, Benjamin Katz, John Tomich, David Moore, Heather Shinogle, and Karen Kelley
• "Isolation of Cultivation-Resistant Oomycetes, First Detected as Amplicon Sequences, from Roots of Herbicide-Terminated Winter Rye" by Matthew G. Bakker, Thomas B. Moorman, Thomas C. Kaspar, and Daniel K. Manter
• "Discovery of Known and Novel Viral Genomes in Soybean Aphid by Deep Sequencing" by Ying Feng, Elizabeth N. Krueger, Sijun Liu, Karin Dorman, Bryony C. Bonning, and W. Allen Miller
• "Conflicting Effects of Climate and Vector Behavior on the Spread of a Plant Pathogen" by Matthew P. Daugherty, Adam R. Zeilinger, and Rodrigo P. P. Almeida
Phytobiomes is highly transdisciplinary in scope. Its large, diverse editorial board of leading scientists situated throughout the globe cover a wide range of basic and applied science fields, including:
• Fundamental scientific fields such as ecology, climatology, botany, chemistry, computational biology, and genetics
• Pest-inclusive disciplines like plant pathology, virology, mycology, bacteriology, entomology, and nematology
• General crop science disciplines such as agronomy, soil science, entomology, animal science, and weed science
Phytobiomes publishes high-quality research papers, review articles, perspectives, resource announcements and various short communications, particularly those that utilize or develop novel approaches to improve plant productivity spanning basic to applied research areas.
"Phytobiomes started by connecting scientific disciplines to create a new transdisciplinary community," said Young. "Now we have the journal, Phytobiomes, targeted for this research, and we plan to get your research discovered."
About Dr. Carolyn Young, Phytobiomes Editor-in-Chief
Dr. Carolyn Young, the editor-in-chief of Phytobiomes, is a mycologist and plant pathologist who received her Ph.D. degree from Massey University, Palmerston North, in New Zealand. She joined the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation in 2006 where she leads a research lab on fungal-plant interactions. Her research focuses on forage improvement The Young Laboratory studies beneficial symbionts (grass endophytes) and the plant pathogens Venturia effusa (pecan scab) and Phymatotrichopsis omnivora (cotton root rot), each of which can impact sustainable plant productivity. Projects in the Young laboratory span basic research to study the fungal-host systems and applied research utilizing endophytes to improve forage grass cultivars. Young was a member of the Phytobiomes Roadmap team and also serves on the Phytobiomes Alliance (www.phytobiomes.org).
About Phytobiomes
Phytobiomes (www.phytobiomesjournal.org) is a fully open access, transdisciplinary journal of sustainable plant productivity, published by The American Phytopathological Society. Phytobiomes publishes original research about organisms and communities and their interaction with plants in any ecosystem. It also provides an international platform for fundamental, translational, and integrated research that accomplishes the overarching objective of offering a new vision for agriculture in which sustainable crop productivity is achieved through a systems-level understanding of the diverse interacting components of the phytobiome. These components include plant pathogens, insects, soil, microbes, weeds, biochemistry, climate, and many others. Follow us on Twitter @PhytobiomesJ.

Today I have two cards created with Couture Creation products that I would love to share with you...
For this funky card I used a sheet of Black and Pink Cardstock from Color Core Core'dinations. I layered two sheets and embossed the top layer using the uber cool Great Fubu embossing folder from The Marriot Collection. The pink paper is from the Damask Delight paperstack.
After sanding the raised embossed areas, I used several colours of Glitzin glamour Glitter Glue to the images...the colours I used are, Aztec Gold, Green, Hot Pink, Lilac and Purple.
This Dragonfly is proving difficult to photograph! I did layer two black solids and the one pink Die-cut, and also have some Crystalina Glitter Glue on it. It is placed on top of a Victorian Square Nestling Die together with the word Explore...Both the Dragonfly and word are from The Van Roe Collection.
I used my Couture creation sanding block to expose the pink colour core of the paper.
This next card is a little more elegant...
I embossed two strips of paper using the Chain Wire folder from The Marriot Collection and placed it with a piece of lace at the top and bottom of my card.
I also embossed a piece of whitewashed Core'dinations paper with the Large Only Me folder, also from The Marriot collection and also sanded it with the sanding block.
For my focal point I layered two Oval Nesting Dies with a Royal Oval Die on top. To add some interest I also layered a piece of the Quick Release Die paper between the layers.
I adged the Royal Oval Die with crackle paint and brown ink.
Thank you for visiting me...Below are the links to the products I used, all of which are from the Couture Creation Shop.

An Updated Look at Our Sunroom
Back in our back entryway update post, I shared a little glimpse of our sunroom and it sounded like you wanted to see more! I realized that the room looks much different than the last time I talked about it (and I even moved stuff around since the entryway post) so I took some new pictures to share! Let's pop in for a look...
Can you believe it used to look like this??? BLAH!
The room started to take shape when Alex built a cover for the radiator (click here for that full tutorial- it is LONG).
The radiator cover not only gave the room a formal touch but it allowed us to create this cute little reading nook! It ended up being the perfect purpose for the room as it sits between the back entry and our living room.
In the beginning we only kept pillows along the radiator cover but it has ended up being more useful if dually used as a tabletop- Which also allowed me to bring my DIY chair pair chair together in the same room! Along the cover next to the chair I added a reading light and a tray to keep books and magazines in.
PS- I will have a DIY post about that tray tomorrow too!
Even with both chairs in the space it is still nice though to cozy up in the corner against the pillows!
Opposite to the radiator cover is the opening to our back entryway and "mini" chalkboard bathroom.
Behind the other DIY chair is a larger floor reading lamp from Ikea.
That about rounds out the space as it is now. Last year we used this room to display our Christmas Tree so you might get another look at it during the holiday season!
Lastly, did you happen to see this little guy hiding on the floor? It is a little wood carved elephant figural that Alex got years ago at Target when they had their Global Bazaar stuff. I had to mention him because there's kind of a story that goes along....
After we moved into our house, I thought little mister elephant was silly and wanted to get rid of it. Alex refused and sometime around there named him Milton. Over the past couple years, I have dropped Milton on my foot, maybe more than once or twice, and I've definitely tripped/kicked him several times- which all resulted in some kind of pain and cursing, but Milton has grown on me. Anyway, I had to share my love/hate relationship with Milton.
I will be back with my Studded Tray DIY tomorrow!

Yep, I have a "Milton" mine is called "the children's shoes". They love to leave their shoes everywhere but in their rooms. I have stubbed my toes many times, tripped on them, sometimes they smell really stinky which is a sign I need to throw them out and buy new ones.ReplyDelete
I think that the sun-room looks great! The radiator looks great.
The Old Man and the Sea! I love that book by Ernest Hemingway! That is, indeed, a worthy read in your sunroom! :)ReplyDelete
About the sunroom, I think it would be even more cozy if you put the radiator there. That would mean you can fully enjoy the extra space all year round, even when it's winter and it's cold outside. :)

Have you ever found a book out of the blue, read it, and then had it be surprisingly good — one that stuck with you for years? If so, what book was it?
My Answer is:
This is hard to answer because the majority of the books I read are found out of the blue. But not in the sense, I think, that the question means. When I find a book it sort of goes like this: I'll be at a bookstore or browsing goodreads and I'll come across an interesting title/cover. I pick up the book (in a bookstore) and read the back, followed by the first few pages. if it's interesting, I'll buy it. For goodreads I'll simply read the description and check out the rating. This always leads to hits or misses. Some books I read and adore, other's I can barely get through. But I would say there are definitely more positive outcomes than not. To list the books would be hard, just scroll through my goodreads or my blog and look at the best rated or most loved books - the likelihood that I just stumbled upon them is very high.
Hey, Soon Remembered Tales readers, happy Monday! Have a great week.

My first attempt at shooting a minimalist image. I'm attracted by the clean images and strong compositions that they normally have.
This was taken just after sunset at a beach, camera securely mounted on a tripod, with an exposure of 30seconds, and surviving the mosquitos!!
I do like the square crop as it gives a structured composition to the image.

Religious tourism is not a new idea, something thought up recently. It is the oldest, the most important form of "tourism" in the history of Mankind. Every society has produced members whose quest was to commune with the divine. Religious travel has its roots in the pilgrimages of a bygone age. Since antiquity the desire to embark on a journey for religious purposes has inspired Greeks and non-Greeks to make their way to religious sites throughout Greece. From the earliest times it has been a custom of the Greek people to express their religious sentiments, their deep faith and their reverence for God, a key characteristic of the Orthodox faith for 2000 years.
