Freeman, Hardy & Willis, Littlehampton and Wimbledon
Freeman, Hardy & Willis was set up in Leicester in the mid 1870s, when Edward Wood sold his boot and shoe manufacturing business, E. Wood & Co., to three of his associates (for more on footwear manufacture in Leicester, click here). Soon after the company changed its name, and Freeman, Hardy & Willis embarked on an ambitious expansion plan which saw its number of retail outlets increase dramatically. Actually, FH & W was one of the first firms, which in the last quarter of the 19th century, opened shops in many towns, thus selling directly to the public and cutting the middleman. By 1890 it owned more than 100 outlets (other companies with such high number of branches included the International Tea Company, the Home and Colonial Tea Company, Eastman's the butchers, and footwear retailers Stead & Simpson and George Oliver). By 1914 the number had increased to nearly 500. The opening of new outlets across the country explains only partially such an expansion. The increase in size of Freeman, Hardy & Willis (and of most other companies at the time, with the exception of W. H. Smith and Boots) was mainly the outcome of amalgations with competitors. At the turn of the century, Freeman, Hardy & Willis took control of Rabbits & Sons and Pocock Brothers. In 1927 though, FH & W and its 551 outlets were acquired by its competitor Sears, which traded under the name True Form. In 1953 after a sensational take-over, Charles Clore took control of Sears, and three years later added Manfield and Dolcis to his portfolio. Clore reorganized his footwear interests into the British Shoe Corporation in 1962 and the same year went on to buy Saxone, and Lilley & Skinners. In 1996 Sears' shoe shops, except Dolcis, were sold to Stylo plc, which decided to consolidate them into its Barratts and PriceLess Shoes brands. Therefore many of those familiar footwear name were axed.
As mentioned above, the two mosaics have different designs. While the one in Littlehampton appears at first sight more elaborate, it is actually quite crude. The letters are not even aligned with the pavement and, in any case, would have looked better if they had adopted the curve of the parchment. The one in Wimbledon on the contrary looks apparently more simple. Yet there is a nice gradation in the letters, from brown to red and grey and the three-tone fan background is quite attractive.

Now that I know that Freeman, Hardy & Willis were present in most towns and cities across Britain, I'm hoping that I'll come across some more mosaics, or even a painted sign for them... Who knows?

Part of the sign on the farm building has disappeared but one can guess what is missing.
Réfrigérateurs - Lave-linge
Machines à laver
Mer Ets. [Établissements] Bauer
4 et 6, Place de la Halle
In 1947 French company Vedette launched its first washing machine. Although sales remained limited immediately after the war, they rapidly increased throughout the 1950s and 1960s and Vedette became a household name. Fridges (réfrigérateurs) and freezers (congélateurs) followed and were equally popular. Between 1972 and the early 1980s, a whole series of TV ads for Vedette washing machines starred Jeanne Marie Le Calvé, better known as La Mère Denis, a washerwoman from Normandy, whose accent, smile, good nature, and laugh became rapidly known throughout France and even as far as Japan.
Since we didn't have any TV at home until I was nine or so I can't say I remember thoses ads but the name of Mère Denis is familiar indeed. What I remember though is the old Vedette washing machine my parents bought in the mid-1960s, and which lasted until the early 1990s. As for the fridge of the same brand, it is still in the kitchen after 45 years...
With regards to retailer Bauer, a search in the yellow pages shows they are still doing business from 4/6, Place de la Halle in Mer, a small town of 6,000 inhabitants between Blois and Orléans, about 40 km away from Sambin. And the last two digits of their phone number are 56.

Baths, Putney
But how many have spotted that this modern sign covers almost entirely a much older one? Nowadays, the only visible words are: "...ic Baths." A look at old pictures of the High Street confirmed what I thought: it was for the local public baths.
So here we have a sign which, looking at what is left of it, was neither beautifully-designed nor eye-catching, but which reveals some aspect of our local history.
Attendance probably never reached the levels expected and consequently the Putney public baths were certainly never a financial success. They were demolished in September 1986 after years of neglect.

Prices old English lavender soap, Acton
Price's [or Prices]
...on [hidden by the bin shed]
In the lower part as well several lines have been covered when the Lavender Soap sign was painted. Letters appear here and there, but nothing makes much sense.
I had always associated Old English Lavender Soap with Yardley, the soap manufacturer founded in 1770 (and incidently with my grand-parents' bathroom). Yet I can't see any trace of that particular brand name, not even on the pack of soap bars or the card that goes with is. As for Price, ever since my girlfriend first worked in a company based in Battersea riverside, it has been synonymous with candles. A quick search shows that actually Price began producing soap in 1856, using the same base product -glycerine- its candles were made of. Its soap manufacturing rights, together with the soap factory at Bromborough (near Port Sunlight) were taken by Lever Brothers Ltd in 1936.
Old English
Lavender Soap
Ba.. S...
The six pieces of soap in the box are each wrapped in a paper saying "Old English Lavender" (that looks cheapish for Yardley). Could Price have copied Yardley's design, in particular the Gothic typeface of "Old English"?
Quite a palimpsest this wall! If anyone knows what the ads painted over were and what kind of business Mackie's was in, don't hesitate to get in touch via the comments.

Update on the ABC Cinema sign
On a more positive note, I came back with pictures of about twenty five more painted signs, including a very nice for Gillette. And it is not blue... Keep checking! In the meantime, have a nice weekend.
Stephen Tulse, funeral director, Lambeth
A thick coat of white paint makes any identification pretty hard at first sight. However a closer look and a bit of work in Photoshop reveal a few words. Overlapping letters indicate this space was painted on two occasions at least. The most legible sign reads:

The National Archives hold the account books for Messrs Allen, jewellers of South Street, Chichester, for the years 1937-1969. However the mosaic may predate 1937. Indeed had it been put by Messrs Allen, one could have expected a "&" or "and". Then could C. C. Allen have been their father? Answers in the comments, please...

Dairy and bakery, Shepherd's Bush
Noted For
Home Made
Location: Richmond Way / Picture taken on: 31/07/2009
Several painted signs for dairies can still be seen on London walls. The development of shops specialized in dairy products was linked to the urban growth of the city in the second half of the 19th century and the growth of milk consumption in the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, due partly to a greater appreciation of its health benefits (even though at least until the milk grading and testing orders of 1922 and 1923, the milk sold across London was of more than dubious quality: water was often added and cream removed, and even worse, a study published in 1918 found that 99 per cent of samples had traces of cow dung while that supplied to schools and hospitals carried bacilli coli, indicating the presence of manure, and several million bacteria per cubic centimeter, a staggering figure at a time when 60,000 was considered hygienically possible). The first dairy shops opened in the West End and in the City, but soon they were found across the capital. By 1883, 1,941 could be found throughout London. In addition to milk, they sold butter, eggs, margarine and some groceries. Even though many dairy shops were independently-owned, most of the sales were handed by those linked to wholesale suppliers such as the London United Dairies Co., founded in 1915, and which by 1920 controlled 80 per cent of the milk supply to greater London and 470 shops. Large concerns were able to offer a steady supply and the same prices throughout the year, in spite of large differences in production costs according to the season. Their quasi-monopoly often led to accusations of inflated prices though. From the 1920s, independent dairy shops also faced increasing competition from co-operatives, whose share of the milk supply and retail market rose from 7 per cent in 1900 to 9 per cent in 1920 and to 26 per cent in 1939.
Dairy shops were part of everyday's life and remained so for a couple of decades after the Second World War. However technological developments, such as the introduction of UHT milk in the 1960s, and new shopping habits, with people switching to supermarkets, led to a sharp drop in their numbers. Only a few survive, often catering for the upper end of the market.

Candy stores, Richmond
That reminds me that Richmond has a few ghost signs and mosaics, including one I noticed only a few months ago, even though I've been crossing the park and walking down Richmond Hill regularly for about ten years... If you know the place, I'm sure you'll understand why I didn't spot it earlier: the view over the Thames valley is so lovely that you're irresistibly drawn towards it, and you become almost oblivious to what lays behind you. Earlier this year though, the southern gate to the Terrace Gardens was closed for some odd reason so I stayed on the pavement, and that's when I spotted this sign. Or rather signs.
At least two signs have been painted on this wall indeed, but only one is clearly legible today.
The Terrace
Candy Stores
High Class Confectionery
Cigarettes & Tobacco
A closer looks reveals a few letters and one word for the previous, larger, sign(s).

Iron Jelloids, Holloway
In the meantime, to start the week on a good footing, here is one of the many painted signs for that "great tonic [that] makes healthy, happy homes": Iron Jelloids!
The origins of the tonic and restorative medicine date back to 1895, when Warrick Bros. (also spelt in some journals as Warwick Bros.), manufacturing chemist of 18 Old Swan Lane, London, submitted a new pill made by mixing freshly precipitated sub-carbonate of iron with jujube mass. One year later ads for Iron Jelloids were being printed in medical journals and doctors started recommending it in articles. To handle production and marketing of their new product, Warrick Bros set up The Jelloid Co., of Finsbury Pavement, and by April 1913 The British Journal of Nursing could write that "Iron Jelloids are now well-known as a neutral, palatable, non-constipating form of Iron Tonic." In 1917 The Jelloid Co. was incorporated as a limited liability company and became Iron Jelloid Co. Ltd., with headquarters in City Road / Central Street, EC1, and production lines in Watford, Herts. The company ran several campaigns in the press (example of the 1912 ad) to promote "the great aid to health", and even sponsored in the early 1920s at least two books: The Iron Jelloids Nursery Rhymes Painting Book and A Humorous History of Britain by C. Harrison. Everybody in the household could have his or her Iron Jelloids. Children could be given the gelatinous lozenges No. 1 to help them grow, men and women with anaemia or feeling a bit down could try a fortnight of N. 2, while men could even take the extra-strong No. 2A (examples of a 1921 ad, printed in The Sydney Mail, and a 1924 ad). It seemed there was little Iron Jelloids could not do! In 1922 the remedy even got a mention in James Joyce's Ulysses:
Gerty MacDowell who was seated near her companions, lost in thought, gazing far away into the distance, was in very truth as fair a specimen of winsome Irish girlhood as one could wish to see. She was pronounced beautiful by all who knew her though, as folks often said, she was more a Giltrap than a MacDowell. Her figure was slight and graceful, inclining even to fragility but those iron jelloids she had been taking of late had done her a world of good much better than the Widow Welch's female pills and she was much better of those discharges she used to get and that tired feeling. (Episode 13 - Nausicca)
The sign below is one of several I have come across in London. Since the prices quoted are the same as those on the 1924 printed ad, it may date from around the mid-1920s.

Bryant & May, Croydon
The Swan brand emerged in 1883, when Collard & Kendall of Bootle, near Liverpool, launched the "Swan Wax Matches". After a few years the company was bought by US-based Diamond Match Company and in the mid-1890s they launched the "Swan White Pine Vestas" ("Vestas" derives from Vesta, the Roman goddess of household and fire). These matches appealed especially to smokers as a wooden stick burnt better in the open air than the cotton or paper dipped in wax sticks that were more commonly used at the time. In the early 1900s the Diamond Match Company merged with Bryant & May. The British match maker kept the brand but redesigned the label of the matchbox: the white swan peacefully gliding on a pond with rushes in the background, that had adorned matchboxes from the very beginning, was turned, given a green background and moved to the left, leaving a field on the left where the brand's name could be displayed in yellow letters against a red background. This basic concept has not changed since then. A couple of years after the merger, "White Pine" was dropped from the name and the mention "The Smoker's Match" was added (it disappeared in the 1980s). Obviously as decades passed a few changes were made to the design of the label: the swan, in particular its wings, acquired a more simplified outline, and so did the background, before completely disappearing (although in the 1980s, a background of foliage was introduced, which was then replaced for a short while by the Houses of Parliament at night. Actually the image was quite sinister, the absence of light on Big Ben bringing back memories of the Blitz...). The most significant change took place in 1959 when the swan changed direction, gliding no longer towards the left but towards the right, as it did originally. In the 1990s the label changed radically but that led to such a drop in sales that the manufacturer returned to the original concept, with a much more stylized swan though.
Looking at the different models of matchboxes, it appears that the painted sign below dates from the 1950s. Indeed the swan faces left and prior to 1950 the mention "British Made" did not appear on the front of the boxes, under the swan.
This sign is remarkably preserved and was undoubtedly almost entirely hidden for quite some time by a hoarding. Only the part on the left has faded because of its exposure to the elements. Still, since it faces south, the colours have been washed out a bit by the sun: originally the orange on the box would have been a bright red, and the green would have been darker. A fantastic sign nonethless!

Hotel de Boulogne, Soho
27 Gerrard Street was built in 1783 but it was only in 1874 that a hotel opened in its walls. The street facade was 'Victorianized' that same year and one can assume this took place prior to the arrival of the first guests at the Hotel de Boulogne. The leaseholder at the time was a certain Philippe Ganosse, a Frenchman born in 1843, and who, according to the 1881 census had his residence at nearby 84 Dean Street. With such a name, I would strongly suspect he came originally from southeastern France, something that the name of the hotel clearly does not reflect! Following the death of Philippe, his English wife Kate and later on their daughter Eugenie Elise Jeannette took over the business. The Hotel de Boulogne was certainly popular enough and around 1910 the ground floor front was glazed in Art Nouveau style. However the First World War must have dealt it a serious blow. The hotel closed in 1917, only to be replaced one year later by the Restaurant de Boulogne. Documents of the 1920s and 1930s point to a growing presence of Italians interests in the building itself and the running of the restaurant. In 1962 the Restaurant de Boulogne was still occupying the premises and may have done so for another number of years. By the mid-1970s though, many of the traditional businesses of Gerrard Street were closing down and were replaced by Chinese restaurants and shops. Nowadays this is the very heart of Chinatown and the London China Town Restaurant occupies the premises of what used to be the Hotel de Boulogne.

2 Little Crown Court, Soho
Discriminations endured by French Protestants under Louis XIV, which culminated in the 1865 revocation of the Edict of Nantes, pushed many to cross the Channel. In London they settled around Threadneeddle Street, Spitalfields, and Soho, where around 1680 Huguenots had taken over a church built originally for the Greek community (the settlement around the Threadneeddle Street chapel did not expand much as tradesmen there were subject to the regulations of the City companies). The presence of a French community in Soho acted as a magnet for those who came later, even if as noted in A Survey of London, edited by F. H. W. Sheppard and published in 1966,
During the last quarter of the nineteenth century the foreign element in the population of Soho ceased to be primarily French and became cosmopolitan. The original Huguenot immigrants and their descendants had gradually become to a large extent anglicized, and by 1800 only two of their chapels survived in the area. After 1789 more refugees from the various political commotions which have characterized subsequent French history probably settled in Soho. In the 1860's, when Cardinal Wiseman wished to establish a church for French Roman Catholics in London, Soho was still evidently thought to be the centre of the French colony, but had long ceased to be distinctively Huguenot. Shortly after the Franco-Prussian War and the Commune of 1870–1 Soho was said to have 'now a greater French population than it has had for years', and the Marseillaise was the most financially rewarding tune for the organ-grinders of the locality.
Sheppard also mentions them in his study:
French eating-houses, catering specifically for the local French residents, must have existed in the area ever since the arrival of the first refugees in the 1680's but the first known reference to Soho as a resort of English gourmets does not occur until 1816, when the Sablonière Hôtel on the east side of Leicester Square was commended as a French house where 'a table d'hôte affords the lovers of French cookery and French conversation, an opportunity for gratification at a comparatively moderate charge'. The Sablonière had been established in a house on the east side of Leicester Square in 1788, and was the first of a group of foreign hotels and restaurants, mostly French, which existed there for very many years. In the mid nineteenth century the clientèle of these establishments was predominantly foreign, and their respectability had become questionable in English eyes, for the author of a guidebook to London published in 1869 advised his readers, in choosing a hotel or dining-room, to 'avoid Leicester-square'.
It was the presence of these French-owned restaurants and hotels that explains why half of this ad is in French. Click on the picture for a larger version.

Fisheries & Aquaculture Branch Library
The Fisheries Library
The Fisheries Branch Library (FBL) was established in 1967 to provide specialized library and information services to FAO staff and to disseminate FAO information to fisheries and aquaculture organizations in Member Countries. Its collection includes over 1,600 periodical titles and more than 20,000 reports on developing and tropical fisheries and aquaculture.
The most recent and frequently used publications are physically located in the Fisheries & Aquaculture Branch Library. The older collection is integrated in the David Lubin Memorial Library of FAO, whose total collection is approaching a million volumes. Access to this large, multidisciplinary and historic collection is of benefit to our information users. For those who may be interested, information about the origins, resources and services of this historical UN Library are available at General information - David Lubin Memorial Library.
As part of FAO transformational changes, the Fisheries and Aquaculture Branch Library will be permanently closed from February 2014 with its staff and collections moved over to the FAO David Lubin Memorial Library (DLML). After settling down in DLML and along with new duties, the current FBL staff will continue providing specialized fisheries and aquaculture information services to the internal and external library users. Maria Kalentsits will act as "fisheries focal point" in DLML, while Armand Gribling will continue to look after the collection of documents published by and stored in the Fisheries and Aquaculture Department.
Starting from February 2014, you are kindly asked to send you reference queries to FAO-Library-Reference e-mail account email@example.com instead of FI-library account. Please note that the FI-library account will be permanently closed after a transition period of a couple of months. For issues related to the FI grey literature projects or library networking activities in the area of fisheries and aquaculture, please contact Maria or Armand directly.
We apologize for any inconvenience or delay in addressing your requests during the transition period.
Finally, we would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to all partners and users whom the Fisheries and Aquaculture Branch Library was privileged to work with over more than 45 years of the library's existence at FAO.

Before accessing Russian on the internet dating services, you should establish what type of a partner you want. As mentioned earlier, there are numerous choices for that you make online. All you need to do is to start the process and your relationship will probably be started promptly. Therefore to actually get the best, you must establish what sort of a partner you desire in life.
A few of these websites get forums which allow a good amount of talk about the means of these services. A number of dating websites their very own messaging programs. These applications enable warm and friendly user talk. The technology currently in use for these text messaging applications can be advanced and it also prohibits using bad and inappropriate terminology. This is a alleviation for several end users of dating websites. Sometimes a couple of individuals who are chatting may not reach it off well and may use abusive words. So this kind of ban will restrict hard feelings amongst users in addition to encourage beneficial chat social grace.
First, realize that the page is a technique you marketplace yourself. Which could sound a touch too business like, but it is the reality. If you are meeting someone in person you attempt to look nice and attractive to get their attention. If you are hoping to match men online you happen to be marketing yourself to attract men and acquire their interest. This does not mean which you lie or perhaps reinvent yourself to match what you believe men want. It indicates finding your own personal special attributes and unique attributes and sharing them within your profile.
Looking for a date online presents many men and women that would be unable to find a suitor some other way, the ability to be able to do exactly that. It will be easy to connect with others that you would never met, been there not already been for the internet. Nonetheless, if you do decide to take the virtual path in assisting you locate a suitor, you need to be careful.
You want to make certain you say some thing personal relating to profile. Claim something made to evoke an answer! Make the girl know that you truly read her profile and you aren't simultaneously initiating the chat with half the online dating web site! Just as you want to do with an starting message to an individual for the first time, you really it individual with a chat opening collection as well. Keep in mind, this is the first-time your probable date will be discovering your personality. And individuality is critical while chatting online with a likely date.
After completing the tortuously infinite personality questionnaire and parting with some salary, I had genuinely hoped my personal matches would likely suit me personally. Sadly, which has not recently been the case. I am a woman of your certain age group. I have a few nearly grown kids as well as a decent occupation. My desire date need not be while handsome being a movie star, well-off as a superstar, or well-known in any way as an example. All I must say i want can be someone who will work consistently, looks forward to being beside me, and needs to eat.
Essential:This is not some time to provide personalized detail such as your phone number or even your actual brand. Always use a no cost email consideration such as gmail or askjeeve and keep it merely for your on the net dating.

ATHENS - On the first official day of autumn, it's a clear and beautiful evening here in Athens. Let's play some football, shall we?
Let's get this one out of the way, we think for the final time: Alec Ogletree and Bacarri Rambo are once again not dressed out. This should be the fourth and final game of their suspensions.
Earlier in the day, there was a rumor that Rambo and Ogletree may be available for the second half. This rumor was passed along by a fan site, and frankly it should not have seen the light of day if the reporter didn't have enough to say it was even likely. But this reporter put it out there, nonetheless.
In any event, the UGA student-athlete drug policy says that the amount of games for a second drug violation is 30 percent of a season, and that it may be rounded up. So it's four full games.

But on the injury front, Georgia did dress out star linebacker Jarvis Jones (strained groin), and offensive linemen Dallas Lee and Watts Dantzler (sprained ankles).
Lee was announced as the starter at left guard and went through drills with the first team. So he looks like a go. Dantzler and Mark Beard - who would have started in Lee's place - worked with the second team.
In the case of Jones, the expectation is he will start and play as long as the groin doesn't bother him. But at the first sign of any pain, the trainers will yank him.
On the other side, the notable event is that Jordan Rodgers appears back as the starter at quarterback. Vanderbilt went with Austyn Carta-Samuels last week, to some success, but Rodgers led Vanderbilt's comeback last year against Georgia.
A few other pregame notes:
- If Georgia wins tonight, that leaves CBS with a pretty fascinating choice on which game to pick for its 3:30 p.m. game on Oct. 6: Georgia at South Carolina, or LSU at Florida?
Georgia still has to take care of business, both tonight and next week against Tennessee. If it does, then you're looking at the most highly-anticipated regular-season game for the Bulldogs since the Alabama game in 2008. That was the last time Georgia was involved in a game that matched two teams ranked in the top 10. (Currently, Georgia is No. 5 and the Gamecocks are No. 7.)
- Georgia will be looking to start 4-0 for the first time since 2008 - when in game five, it lost that game to Alabama.
- The most recent 5-0 start, if you're all looking ahead, was in 2006.
- This will be Vanderbilt's first night game at Georgia, according to Vandy SID Larry Leathers.
- Georgia has won 16 of the past 17 meetings, and has an overall edge of 52-18-2.
- The pregame meal is a Thanksgiving theme, with turkey and pumpkin pine. Appropriately done for this first day of fall.

When Rei Kawakubo first brought her label, Comme des Garçons, to Paris in 1981, the fashion industry was scandalised. Although she had already been working in fashion for over a decade in Tokyo, her Western debut collection – characterised by tattered swathes of black fabric, torn sweaters and deliberately unfinished hemlines – resulted in instant notoriety and elicited a passionate, often vicious reaction. Some called it 'bag lady chic', others an 'invasion'; others were disturbed and enraged in equal measures by this unique collection which seemed to rally against the foundations upon which the fashion industry was built.
|SS97, via tumblr.com
So what makes Kawakubo worthy of this accolade? Put simply, she doesn't design clothing; she designs objects which just happen to be worn. Her earlier collections followed the 'rules' of design to an extent – although armholes, legholes and hemlines were sometimes dropped or deconstructed, they were, for the most part, at least present. Now, however, this isn't the case – her models walk the runways in monstrous, outsized contraptions which often obscure faces, shroud bodies and challenge perceptions of what counts as clothing and what doesn't.

Looks like it's going to be beautiful weather this weekend, and thank all relevant deities for that because there's a bundle of outdoor frolics to be had this coming Saturday and Sunday.
Start the weekend early with Moulin Rouge, showing free this Friday at The Scoop as part of the More Movies season on Friday night. Trip along after work with cushions, a picnic and extra points go to whoever starts a sing along to the key songs.
Then on Saturday, the best place to be is on the South Bank because the Coin Street Festival is back and kicking off with a Latino party par excellance. Get to the Carnival de Cuba for the start at 12noon and be the first to try the special Daiquiri Carnaval, prepared with fresh mango, guava, passion fruit, strawberries and Cuban rum. Yes, it's going to be that kind of open air festival and let's not forget the best imported Cuban music and a massive conga line too - guaranteed to be of a far better quality than the traditional drunken birthday / wedding / Irish wake type conga. This one will have drums. Lots of drums. And dancing. Oh yes, there will be dancing... Food, drinks, music and performances will be available throughout the day; entry is free and events start at 12noon outside the Oxo Tower on South Bank.
While on South Bank and if you can tear yourself away from the rum, the Latin rhythms and the big screen TV showing the World Cup that the Carnaval de Cuba crew are providing, pop into the Globe theatre for Sam's day. Every year, the theatre celebrates the birthday of founder Sam Wanamaker with a programme of free workshops, demonstrations and platform discussions for the general public - and is also a good chance to have a sneak around the place without committing to a full-length Shakespeare performance. Entry is free, events start at 10.00am and finish at 5.15pm. The free swordplay workshop at 10.00am looks like the most fun.
If you're not going near South Bank and would prefer to do your Culture Crawl locally, there is always a private garden nearby that is going to be open to you over the weekend. Open Garden Squares is your chance to poke around the green spaces normally closed to the public. There will be flowers. And wine. Lots of wine. There is an entry fee that will get you access to all the gardens you can see in two days; wine is served at each venue. Go here for more information.
For a more restful (and indoor, football free) no cost activity, head to the new glass fronted shopping centre Cardinal Place in Victoria for the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA)international photo exhibition titled Animals in Focus . The exhibition is "a compelling selection of 45 images showing some of the best and worst of man's treatment of animals around the world" and is a good chance to see the new SW1 Gallery which is situated on the roof of the Cardinal Place shopping centre. Entry is free and the exhibition is open Tuesdays to Fridays from 10am to 6pm and Saturdays 10am to 4pm. Closed on Sundays and Mondays.
If you're too busy watching football to complete your Culture Crawl on Saturday, the Carnaval de Cuba and Open Garden Squares runs through both Saturday 10th June and Sunday 11th June.

That's me. In 1971. My senior picture...40 years ago. Mercy!! This weekend, the class that I would have graduated with, is having a reunion. I had to move to another large city in the middle of my junior year and graduated from there. Something about going back and looking for old friends that I grew up with and new friends that I found during my high school years, friends whom I lost contact with, friends whom I haven't seen or heard from in those 40 years and wondering which friends are no longer with us....it all draws me back. I look forward to seeing them again
I met my classmates when I moved into the school district of William H. Harrison Elementary in the third grade in the large town of Oklahoma City. Talk about classroom sizes...37 students in my class!! For the life of me, I can't remember if there was another third grade class or not. I'm sure there were, as I have it in my mind that there were two classes for each grade, K-6
This is me in my junior year when we moved to the big city of Tulsa. This is how my friends remembered me when I moved away. I remember I was the only junior who had a senior ring...in OKC, we were allowed to have them as juniors. :) A lot of students thought that was pretty cool. Being a new student in a large school wasn't easy. I didn't have the ties with the students there and it just didn't feel the same. But I made some friends...why wouldn't I in a school of several thousand?? And, I managed to enjoy my time there and made it through graduation.
My class here in Tulsa had 429 students who graduated...not quite as large as the graduating class of students at John Marshall High School.. But my OKC school was always home to me. My heart will always bring me back to where I grew up with my childhood friends I just found out yesterday that my grade school closed its doors. The high school that felt so large and intimidating when I first entered its doors is no longer open. A very bittersweet thought knowing that we can never go back, walk down the halls and say "you remember when....?" Sometimes, I have dreams about being in certain classrooms or down certain halls in that high school...strange, huh? But there's something even stronger about the ties that we had with our childhood friends. Was it because we were growing up together, still in the stages of innocence, in our cozy little school building where everything was the same year after year? Maybe so. I look forward to the activities of this weekend hoping that I recognize the faces of the people I see, sharing pictures, sharing memories, renewing friendships. And then there's the thought...will they remember me? I plan to take lots of pictures and, I'm sure I'll have a story or two to share with you!
Have a great weekend ~

Innovative diagnostics in cerebrospinal fluid of patients with neurometabolic disorders
UMC Radboud Nijmegen
Dr. Karlien L.M. Coene , Clinical Chemist – Fellow in Inborn Errors of Metabolism
Dr. Marcel M. Verbeek, Neurochemist
Dr. Leo Kluijtmans , Clinical Laboratory Geneticist
Dr. Udo Engelke , Scientific R esearcher ( pecialized in chemometrics of metabolic diseases )
Prof. Dr. Ron Wevers, Clinical Chemist in Inborn Errors of Metabolism
Prof. Dr. Michèl Willemsen, Pediatric Neurologist
Krachtbundelsubsidie van Stofwisselkracht, Energy4Kids en Biking4Energy: € 25.000
Start: 1 januari 2018
Looptijd: 9 maanden
Neurometabolic disorders are caused by problems of the brain to con vertone metabolite in to another , caused by a shortage in the enzyme responsible for this chemical reaction. This conversion problem results in accumulation of metabolites and/or reduced levels of other metabolites. Such an imbalance in metabolite levels can affect development and function of the brain and the central nervous system, and patients will present with neurological symptoms at a very young age. If therapy is possible, this should be started as early as possible to prevent damage to the patient. In the metabolic laboratory, several methods are available to investigate which meta bolites are not in balance. However, it has not been possible so far to investigate all metabolites at the same time. We have now developed a new method that is able to analyze 10,000 metabolites at the same time , which we have named 'next generation metab olic screening ' (NGMS). In this project, we want to use this new method to analyze cerebrospinal fluid of patients with the neurometabolic disorders tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency and pyridoxine - dependent epilepsy . By analyzing all possible metabolites, we want to show that our new method can diagnose these diseases, but can also find novel biomarkers. For the future, we also inte nd to use this method to iden tify novel biomarkers for yet uncharacterized disorders. We believe that patients will benefit great ly from a correct diagnosis. It will allow the physician to start the optimal treatment as soon as possible, but will also give patients and their family closure of their diagnostic search.

When I shop online, I don't just search, click, and buy. I often add some things to my cart and think for 2 minutes after spending hours choosing them, if I really need them. And usually I quickly close the tab before I can think further, only to realize the next day I do want those items. But the next time I come back and login, I find my shopping cart is empty. How annoying is that? It's just too much work to find all those items again and usually I get lazy and end up closing the tab once again, this time once for all. Have you had such experience?
But I'm glad to come across shoplately.com recently. Shoplately is an online fashion marketplace. There are a lot of fashion items from different sellers and designers, providing varieties of quality starting from $10. Everyday they have Sale Events with limited time offers and discounts aside of the regular and premium items. They also display several trending items on the homepage so it's not hard to see the current popular products.
The website is user friendly and I find it easy to navigate. I can also follow other users and stores. But, what I like about Shoplately is I can click the heart and put the product I like as favorite so I can find it again next time easily. No need to vent and increase my blood pressure when I find empty shopping cart the next time I login. The filter feature also helps me a lot in finding the items I want to search. But what's interesting is the more I follow stores and other users whose styles I like, the easier it is for me to narrow down the products I like on my feed. I also can keep up to date with new arrivals from the stores I follow.
Aside from buying, I can also sell on Shoplately. Becoming a member is free, and Shoplately is currently giving $10 credits when people sign up using facebook for a limited time. They also will give us another chance to earn some store credits when we invite friends to join Shoplately and shop.
As you may or may not know, I've been digging black and metallic colors and I create a look (or more like my wishlist) with the products I find on Shoplately. Black, grey, and gold are currently my favorite when it comes to fashion.
And here is the rest of my wishlist.
Tahiti and Bow Bracelet - $10
Skulls n Spikes Bangle - $14
Leopard flats - $17.95
The Cece Bag - $24
They're all really cute and fortunately, very affordable! They have really affordable accessories (which I love) and cute handbags with reasonable prices. I need to get 1-2 one of these days. Unfortunately, Shoplately can't ship outside US for now, but they will let us know when they do.

Morgan Dollar 1890-O PCGS MS 64 CAC Original White Coin WDEB-18
Morgan Dollar 1890-O PCGS MS 64 CAC Original White Coin WDEB-18
Here is one of the select coins from one of our special buying trips. The attractive high eye appeal and surfaces of these rather unique coins are of superior quality for the assigned grade. In our searches at the numerous coin shows we attend, we buy only 2 out of 100 of the coins we look at. So what you are getting is the cream of the cream from a wise and discerning eye. All of these coins we would buy for our own collections, so keep in mind that each coin offered here has to get past our eyes before it gets to yours. Enjoy!
This selection is an 1890-O Morgan Dollar. Certified by PCGS as MS 64 CAC (Mint State 64, with the Certified Acceptance Corporation green sticker of top quality for grade). We believe this coin is actually fully MS 65 grade. This is a scarcer date of the series, and has a strong strike for the customary weaker strikes usually produced by the New Orleans Mint. A very pleasing coin, with even luster, and some mirrors to fields on both the obverse and the reverse. Original white color, with excellent cartwheeling luster. Obverse and reverse color are both original blast white. Only a few small marks noted in fields and on Liberty's cheek, and these are not detracting. Breast feathers on reverse eagle show the strong strike. This coin also has pleasing cartwheel luster with some reflectivity. Reverse has a few marks in fields, but none are detracting. Original color and patina, with nice eye-appeal. An excellent, certified coin to enhance your collection. Thanks for looking. Enjoy. WDEB-18

We will be going to the toy sales to put on some layby's for the girls for Christmas. I don't have a Christmas club, but usually dip into savings to pay for Christmas. I should probably set up a different account and make it specifically for Christmas.ReplyDeleteReplies
The toy sales are great for getting sorted for Christmas early!! Probably couldn't hurt to look into Christmas club accounts Bec!Delete
That's such a good idea! I think Mum has a Christmas Club account actually! Maybe it's something I need to look into... because yep, Christmas sucks when it comes to money!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Christmas sure is expensive isn't Lucy!Delete

You might be wondering what Gold is doing in this technology blog? I was ignorant about this till last week until I heard from my friend about the uses of gold. I was thinking that Gold has strong role in the financial domain (country's investment, currency etc) other than making ornaments. Let's see the other uses of gold
Gold is most useful metal and some of them are: - conducts electricity, does not tarnish, is very easy to work, can be drawn into wire and hammered into thin sheets, alloys with many other metals. The different domains and usage is given below
The most important industrial use of gold is in the manufacture of electronics. Electronic devices (solid state) use very low voltages and currents which are easily interrupted by corrosion or tarnish at the contact points. Gold is the highly efficient conductor that can carry these tiny currents and remain free of corrosion.
Electronic components made with gold are highly reliable. Gold is used in connectors, switch and relay contacts, soldered joints, connecting wires and connection strips. A small amount of gold is used in almost every sophisticated electronic device. This includes: cell phones, calculators, personal digital assistants, global positioning system units and other small electronic devices.
Gold is also used in electronic appliances such as television and computers (micro processor connector, memory chips etc).
Gold is used as a drug to treat a small number of medical conditions. Gold is used in injunctions to cure one type of arthritis and also used in the treatment of cancer. Gold is used for patients who cannot close their eyes completely by implanting small amount of gold in the eyelid. Many surgical instruments, electronic equipment and life-support devices are made using small amounts of gold
Gold is vastly used in every space vehicles launched by NASA since the lubrication, maintenance and repair is absolutely zero.
Gold is used in circuitry because it is a dependable conductor and connector. In addition, many parts of every space vehicle are fitted with gold-coated polyester film. This film reflects infrared radiation and helps stabilize the temperature of the spacecraft. Without this coating, dark colored parts of the spacecraft would absorb significant amounts of heat
Other domains
Gold is also used in Finance (Coins, Investments) Dentistry, Glass-making,

This blog has turned into a "weekend blog"... I post my "Weekend in Pictures" each week, and that is about the extent of my blogging as of late! But what can I say? We look forward to the weekends a LOT around our house.... Anyways, we try and do something fun each weekend whether that be traveling, camping, or anything outdoors ...to try and keep our sanity from parenting stress and work stress that we accumulated over the week.
This weekend, our camping plans fell through because of the rain, So we stayed home- which is a rare thing for us. Saturday turned into a cleaning, laundry, yoga kind-of-day. Ryan went climbing with his friend in the afternoon, so Ellie and I were getting stuff done around the house. Things took a turn for the worse, and I ended up spending a lot of the day dealing with time-outs, tantrums, and the dreaded Nap Time. I was starting to lose my patience really fast, and also any glimmer of feeling baby hungry.. that I hit a breaking point. So I locked myself in my room! hahah... I needed a second to clear my head, calm down, and scrounge for any memories of the"Love and Logic" book that I had previously read.
I was thinking in my head how I would be totally fine with having one child for the rest of my life, and thinking about how horrible of a parent I am, and how I don't know a dang thing about parenting my child, when a piece of paper started slowly sliding under my door. I noticed it, and then heard a little sweet voice behind the door say,
"I made you a rainbow, Momma"
Oh man. The roller coasters of parenting!!
One minute kids are throwing a tantrum, and the next, they are being so sweet and drawing rainbows for you. I really need to work on not getting so emotionally involved when things get crazy, because obviously things with kids can change in the blink of an eye!
This little rainbow drawing now sits on my nightstand next to a picture of my beautiful mother, reminding me daily that 'Everything will be OK in a minute', if I am ever experiencing Hurricane Ellie. It reminds me to breath, and to remember that I am constantly learning how to parent. That I am not perfect, nor should I expect to be the perfect parent. But that the main thing that I need to focus on is loving that girl no matter how she acts, and loving myself no matter how difficult parenting can get.

MediaTek Confirms Bug Affecting Android Devices
by Jan 31, 2016 9:06 pm0
MediaTek, the semiconductor giant, has confirmed that there exists a software issue with Android 4.4 Kitkat devices powered by the MediaTek chipsets.
The bug was discovered by security researcher Justin Case according to whom an attacker can enable the root access on a user's device and access vulnerable information and spy on the user by monitoring communications on the user's device.
This bug also enables the attacker to a brick the user's smartphone and access secured data protected from user and system apps.
Offering clarification on the issue, MediaTek said that bug arises out of a debug feature solely created for telecommunication inter-operability testing in China. The device makers should have disabled it before shipping out the devices.
According to MediaTek, this bug affects some devices running Android 4.4 Kitkat OS from some manufacturers who have not disabled the debug testing feature before shipping out the devices.

This is a time in the world that people want to remember events, and extreme events are specially exciting.
I will tell you that no one looks great while they're performing strenuous acts. So if you're going to be taking a lot of photographs on the trail, give people a heads up so they can smile and not look like they're feeling as awful as they probably are.
I also see a lot of photographers come to events to get endurance imagery. What I will do for those photographers is let them know the check points that I will be at, give them any tools or tips on the trail that they will want such as lighting and time, and give them my schedule.
If that photographer is going to have many points on the course I will actually send them with a walkie-talkie. That way they can communicate back to the main Trail Driver any information that they are finding out on the trail. They may spot an athlete in trouble, a road that has trouble, or an area that may have been flooded. Giving the photographer permission to be another helpful set of eyes on the trail can be very helpful.
I do remind photographers that they must keep their equipment and themselves out of the way of athletes. I can't have them interrupting the pattern of an athlete, the course of an athlete, or having an athlete trip to try to get out of their way. I will frequently look them in the eye and remind them that it is dangerous for them on that road, and their safety is also important.
If you've ever had a bicyclist going very fast crash into you it's pretty awful. And it's definitely going to ruin the mood of the day.
What is a huge win for everyone is that in today's world photographers are able to get their images back to the athlete as close to real time as possible, and the photographer is able to get the images that they're looking for. A Trail Driver can not only help the photographer, but can utilize the photographer as another tool on the trail. The Trail Driver will always want to know who is on the trail, why they are there and when they're going to be there. Frequently photographers are going out ahead of the team so they will actually see details of the trail even before the trail runner does.
And be sure to snap a picture with the photographer – they rarely have pictures of themselves!
Trail well.

Galax and Rural Retreat had little trouble advancing to the finals of the Conference 46 girls' tennis tournament yesterday (Tuesday), each posting 5-0 wins in Monday's semifinals.
Rural Retreat eliminated Fort Chiswell while the Maroon Tide ousted George Wythe.
Galax, the top seed, clinched the match when McKensey Stoneman won a three-set victory at No. 2 singles. Stoneman rebounded from a first-set loss to rally past Binal Patel 2-6, 6-1, 6-1.
CHRISTIANSBURG –– Carroll County belted five home runs, including three in stretch of four at-bats in the third inning, and the Cavaliers pounded Christiansburg 13-1 in a River Ridge District softball game Wednesday.
RBI singles by Jena Alley and Kyndall Hiatt helped Carroll County (14-0 overall) take a 4-0 lead in the top of the second, and Carroll County bats went bonkers in the third, starting with a leadoff homer by Sydney Nester.
Having hammered Fort Chiswell by 22 runs three weeks earlier, Galax had to rally for the lead in the fifth before erupting for a 13-3, six-inning softball win in a Mountain Empire District game Tuesday at Mountain View Park.
INDEPENDENCE –– Richlands belted out five runs in a game-breaking second inning Tuesday and rolled to a 12-4 Conference 39 win over Grayson County at the Grayson Rec. Park.
HILLSVILLE –– Chase Robinson said that when he broke a leg in a motorcycle accident the summer before his senior season, he thought his football future had been thrown out the window. Instead, he has found an open door.
Robinson, a senior quarterback-defensive back at Carroll County, committed to play at Greensboro College last week in a signing ceremony at the CCHS media center, joined by his parents, Mark and Lori Robinson, and his sister Kirstin.
HILLSVILLE –– Mattie Kennedy has been a Cavalier for the past four years and will be a Blue Hose for the next four. She has always been a Warrior.
One of Carroll County's all-time greats, Kennedy signed a letter-of-intent last week to play basketball for Presbyterian College, a member of the Division I Big South Conference. Ability got Kennedy to the top tier of NCAA basketball, but her unyielding personality on the hardwood sure didn't hurt.
HILLSVILLE –– Grayson County has nothing to hang its head about. Carroll County has 10 reasons to hold its head high.
Grayson County stayed very much in the game into the sixth inning and put the ball in play better than most against Carroll ace Sydney Nester. But making contact only resulted in one baserunner and the Cavaliers built upon a three-run lead with four runs in the sixth to pull away to a 7-0 nondistrict win Wednesday night.
Carroll County improved to 10-0 on the year with the win.
SALEM –– Grayson County pitcher Maggie Kirk missed tossing a perfect game against Glenvar by just one batter. Unfortunately for Kirk and the Blue Devils, the only Highlander to reach base touched 'em all.
Cayla Alexander smacked a home run with two outs in the bottom of the fifth inning as Glenvar edged Grayson County 1-0 in a nondistrict game Thursday.
INDEPENDENCE –– Despite a 30-minute rain delay and a heavy could cover that blotted out much of the available light, Grayson County and Glenvar got their game in. As it turned out, they got too much of it in.
Grayson County rallied from a 5-0 hole and into the lead but the Highlanders regained the lead and pulled away, taking a six-inning 13-6 nondistrict win Thursday.
HILLSVILLE –– Carroll County scored single runs in the sixth and seventh innings to break open a pitchers' duel and edge Salem 2-0 in a River Ridge District softball game Tuesday in Salem.

(Wikimedia) (Newser) – Mordor's "Mount Doom" may be about to erupt for the first time since 2007.

When a good friend of mine showed me some amazing baby trousers she'd made using this Made by Rae download, I was inspired to make my own - in a BIG way! As the intro to Rae's tutorial states, there is little more rewarding than a quick easy sew that is not boring. So, four pairs later.... and I'm still tempted to make more!
Rae's tutorial is for a unlined pair, but my friend had lined hers and I shamelessly copied her idea. It's probably a bit tragic to be so enthusiastic, but the lining means that these little beauties are not only cute, they are also reversible - see, they really are amazing trousers! I've used soft cotton jersey for my linings so that they will be super cosy against baby's skin. I added an extra inch to the length of the leg on the original pattern to allow room for the turn up - after all, what's the point in a funky lining if you can't see it!
Here is the method I used to make them reversible...
1. Using Rae's tutorial, cut out one pair from cotton, and one pair from jersey -don't forget to add an extra inch to the bottom of each leg. Follow the tutorial instructions up to the end of step 6, but leave a 1/4" gap in the back seam of the jersey pair, 1/4" down from the waist edge.
2. Once you have made up both pairs of trousers, turn the outer cotton pair right side out. Now, place the outer cotton pair inside the jersey pair so that the right sides are together. Align the raw edges of the waist, making sure that your seams are matching, and sew around the top using a 1/4" seam allowance.
Turn the trousers right side out by pulling through one of the legs. Press the seam around the waist and then sew a line of stitching just over 1/4" from the top edge to create a channel for the waist elastic.
3. Turn in the raw edges on both the outer and inner peices by 1/4" at the bottom of one leg . Line up the inner leg seams, and then carefully pin the folded edges of the inner and outer peices together so that they match exactly. Stitch all around the bottom of the leg as close as you can to the edge. Alternatively, you could slip stitch the lining to the outer fabric by hand. Repeat with the other leg.
4. To finish, thread your elastic through the waistband as per the tutorial instructions, using the gap you left in the back seam of the the jersey lining.
Turn up your leg cuffs, and Bob's your trouser-wearing uncle - you have just completed pair #1 - I dare you to stop there!!
