Weather eye: the Grote Mandrenke
A huge storm surge flooded vast areas and changed the shape of the North Sea coastline
On this day 650 years ago England was swept by one of the most devastating storms in history. Howling winds tore through Ireland before striking southern England.
"An unprecedented wind burst forth, coming from the South and West, which choked men, uprooted trees, cast down houses, towers, monasteries, belfries, steeples, orchards, and woods," one chronicle recorded. Among the buildings badly damaged was St Pancras Church in London. Norwich Cathedral lost its wooden spire and St Albans Abbey was destroyed and rebuilt three years later. Salisbury Cathedral was so badly damaged that the bishop had to appeal to the Pope for funds to repair the building. The devastation was so widespread that Edward III made a Royal Ordinance with punishments for labourers who exploited the reconstruction…

I left school yesterday on cloud nine. It was my third day of running my class with all of the things I've been planning and working on all summer and let me just say I couldn't be happier. I LOVE this so much. I think the reason I am so excited and optimistic is because it doesn't feel gimmicky or like I'm doing busy work stuff. I am watching kids work their butts off on math like I have NEVER seen before! That is what I am so pumped up about.
I even have a student in 8th, who has always been (had him in 7th last year) a behavior issue, it was always a success just to keep his behavior in check. Well yesterday I got to sit at an empty group of desks, work one on one with him and sent him back to his table where he worked quietly until dismissal. I think I had tears of joy in my eyes.
I also noticed I am asking so many higher order questions and pushing the kids so much harder. I've gone from, "no you don't have to show work" to "not only do you have to show work, but explain why your are doing what you are doing." I am pushing them to use vocabulary correctly, I was amazed at how many of my "smart" kids were writing things like "divide 90 from 2" for example.
Ok I am getting chills again. I need to keep this short because now I am going to go through all of my lesson plans this week and tweak them just a bit with all the little successful tweeks I did this week!
Time to "flip" on over to 3rd grade! I will be blogging about my adventure teaching 3rd grade math and science!

By Golly I Think This Is Going To Work!
4 comments:
Nice work! That sounds awesome!ReplyDelete
Always great to read a post like this! And it'll get even better next week!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much! My mind is just spinning with so many thoughts about this week. I might post another reflection with more of my tweaks and what seems to be working. I think I have created a good combo of flip/discovery, kind of by accident!ReplyDelete
That is quite a compliment to your efforts when a difficult student that you taught last year has responded so differently to you this year. Congratulations and keep up the great work!ReplyDelete

Dates: Dec 10 2004 - Jan 28 2005
Opening Reception: Dec 10 2004
INK 6, A continuing survey of contemporary usages of ink by gallery artists.
Chicago, Illinois;
Opens on December 10 and runs through January 29. The opening reception is Friday, December 10 from 5 to 9pm. The artists include Chen Xin Mao, Xue Song, He Sai Bang, Zhang Hai Tian, Chai Yi Min, and Qi Gu Jiang. In an artistic climate where high tech art made by Chinese artists is in the forefront of what is "fresh", Walsh Gallery presents Ink 6. This exhibit features paintings and prints that were made with ink. All 6 Chinese artists originally came from Shanghai. Ms. Walsh, the gallery director, went to Shanghai for the Biennial this September and brought back much of the work that appears in this show.
Chai Yi Min makes quirky paintings on rice paper with ink and nail polish. His paintings are a type of visual diary. The artist paints each day only one piece. The references to his day are difficult to decipher. His figures usually have sexual overtones and are often
turned into fantastical beasts. When asked about the source of his inspiration, Mr. Chai replied, "Well, I digest what people have to say and then I eat a lot, and see what comes back up."
He Sai Bang's work continues to challenge ideas of what Chinese ink painting should be. Birds, mountains, and flowers are absent from his work; instead we might find common household objects-an egg, a rice cooker, a chopstick. His lines are sometimes choppy and halting, not always smooth and unbroken as in more traditional work. His fascination with muted colors, gray, white, and black especially, gives his paintings a sparse, minimal look. He also has a great fondness for seemingly accidental water spots and blotches, which he painstakingly places on the works. While such "accidents" might ruin a piece of traditional painting, in his works they create an odd tension that would otherwise read as a serene still life. Mr. He typically discards more than a dozen paintings before creating a version that succeeds to his satisfaction.
Zhang Hai Tian's paintings depict daily life in Shanghai. Despite the unbelievable rate of change that has occurred in Shanghai, Mr. Zhang is concerned with reflecting the unchanging spirit of the Shanghainese, whether it is an impromptu image of a boy on a bicycle, or a group of teenagers at a coffee shop or bar.
Chen Xin Mao debuts large-scale "pseudo" ink paintings. At first glance these works look like traditional ink paintings of rocks. Actually, they are large-scale digital prints mounted onto silk. On each rock's surface there are hidden a collection of the artist's antiques. Also embedded in the landscape of these rock forms is the remains of an ancient boat on top of a desert. The rocks that form the main structure of these paintings were submerged in moving water for hundreds of years to shape them, and the piece could easily be titled "Remnants".
Xue Song's prints are a multi-colored reference to Andy Warhol with a Chinese flair. In the series called "Star", some of the prints have a star filled with images of western sex icons, while the area surrounding the star is filled with Chinese sex symbols. In another
series of prints, a single star which is reprinted in different colors contains the words "for sale" in Chinese juxtaposed with images from the Cultural Revolution.
Qi Gu Jiang moved to Chicago from Shanghai in 1987 and is a professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Many of Mr. Jiang's ink paintings contain a broad, inky brush stroke that cuts horizontally across a spare white field. On top of this line, Mr. Jiang places delicately rendered objects from daily life alongside of eccentric characters. In a piece entitled "Acrobat", an ink stroke supports quite an eclectic mixture of items: the leg of a Chinese antique chair, a peculiar grouping of fish, and a flower vase. Mr. Jiang will be present at the opening reception.

They denied what they felt.
But could not deny for long.
They had fallen in love.
They felt the joy, the elation.
They felt the pain, the torment.
Yet they fought till the end.
They believed their love was worth it.
They knew the price of love was loss, yet they still payed it.

How do I lose weight?
Here's the million dollar question just about everybody looking to a healthier lifestyle asks. You try this, do that, eat things that look like they should be in outer space, count macros and calories, and on and on. Why don't we keep things simple and fun, instead of turning you into an amateur rocket scientist to get this very basic task done?
Mindset and Goal Setting
Before doing anything, as my number 1 personal rule: get your mind on track. This means coming to terms with the fact that to achieve your goal, you need the discipline and commitment not just somewhere in between, but all the way from start to end.
If that means getting up at the crack of dawn, drinking a liter of water as soon as you get out of bed, going for a walk, gym, whatever at a specified time, or following a weekly routine, like a robot, so be it. If you want to achieve something, you gotta put in the work; nobody got to the top by staying in bed until 12pm.
Find your own "Fuel"
There are numerous ways to get a person moving and achieve goals. Typically, a method that works for one may not always work for the other. So its vital that you do a bit of "soul searching", trial and error and learn to step out of your comfort zone to discover your very own brand of passion fuel. This applies to everything in life you hope to achieve, not just losing weight.
To me, this was strength in general. Mind and body. Physical and mental strength. I've faced my own share of stresses and problems thrown at me through the circle of life, and the way I learnt to not only cope, but deal with them was by investing myself in strength as a whole. I didn't just want to be fit, I wanted to be the fittest, the strongest, and the baddest dude in the gym. Likewise, I wanted to carry these traits out into the world, not being told what to do, not be like everybody else around me, but an individual, a person that always stands out, someone different, stronger and more intelligent, what we call an Alpha.
Make this your desire, your goal, the ultimate dream, and work your ass off day in and night, not stopping, even after you reach your goal, but asking yourself: how do I take this even higher, to the next level?
Picture being the CEO of a very successful company, e.g. Apple or Google. Your organization is now at the apex of its field, but if you, as its leader, think that this is good enough and sit on your laurels, chances are, before you know it somebody else has now taken your place at the top, you're spiraling downwards because you sat on your ass when the competition kept grinding.
What do I Do?
Forget the complicated macro, fat counting, and other "wizardry", here are a few things you can do to get this done. Keep in mind, nobody here is superman, and you don't get results overnight.
Here's the miracle drink to the healthiest state you can be in. Not only does it prevent other factors such as fatigue and illnesses, it also purifies your body and keeps it running at optimal condition, which, in other words means improved metabolism and increased fat usage. The recommended amount per day for the average adult would be 2+ Liters, however, if you are supplementing with Creatine, you should increase your daily intake to 3-4 Liters. Another handy trick is to drink a large amount (around 600ml or more) as soon as you get out of bed in the morning. This has proven to be a form of a natural boost to wake up the body, making you feel more refreshed and alive right away.
Most people consider a diet to be eating healthy, but less. This is wrong. Healthy food is a requirement, but make sure your body gets enough of it to keep it going throughout the day. If not, you just get weaker and weaker- ending up in a worse state than when you started. Also practice eating many small meals instead of a few large meals. This ensures enough time and space for your digestive system to be done with the previous meal, so the next one is taken in properly as well, leading to the stoppage of overall fat gained from the excess wastage brought by large meals few and far in between.
Humans aren't meant or built to be couch potatoes- people who invest in fitness throughout their life are living testaments to that. They are overall healthier, more agile and more alive, no matter their age. Have a daily activity on schedule, so you have your daily dose of fitness. Trust me, keep it up and you'll see how rewarding it is, not just physically, but mentally as well. Join a gym if possible (for the novices out there). You can also try going for a walk or light jog every day for an hour or so, just after you wake up in the morning and have your water. That's it. Your empty stomach at the time means that for this exercise, the first fuel source to be used by your body will be the fat itself.
If you're already in the gym world, here are a few things you can do:
Always do some cardio, whether it's arm, shoulder, or even leg day. Preferably after you're done lifting weights and about to finish up. All your energy will be spent by then, and you'll be huffing and puffing, running on fumes till the end of it- this is the best way to cut that fat.
Stretch. Before and after your workout. Keep your muscles on optimum levels and less prone to injury (your "50 year self" will thank you later for this, trust me).
Kettle bells are good. Not only do they build that explosive power, they also push your body to the limits- after that 50th or so rep, you'll be torching that fat. Just make sure you go with a weight you can handle- the gym is not a place to brush up on your ego, that will only earn you a ticket to the hospital. Focus more on pushing yourself for longer.
Condition yourself. Besides others mentioned above, train heavily in bodyweight exercises. Pushups, pullups, dips; if you wanna be a certified badass take yourself to the plyometrics division and own that shit.
Skipping. Combat athletes best friend next to the kettle bell. Try to go for longer and longer, add in a bit of HIIT if you're more daring. Just remember to stretch those shins and calves. You don't want your calf muscles with knots in them or the infamous Shin Splints. Believe me, I've had both and I know the great deal of long term suffering they bring.
Standing for High Intensity Interval Training, this is a method used by the Elite to burn fat at massive levels- if done properly. You can incorporate this into any form of cardio. For example if you're running, instead of going at a constant speed, you go all out for 20 seconds. Then slow down to a crawl for 10 seconds. Go all out again for another 20. And so on. I prefer to cut the rest time to around half the work time to get the maximum effect out of it. What you do it upto you. Give it a try, you'll see results very soon.
Cardio Boxing
Setting aside martial art in general, as this may not be everyone's cake, it does not however hurt to get yourself a pair of gloves and hit those bags for a very powerful cardio and conditioning workout. Time yourself- maybe start off with 2 mins for the beginner, going up more and more as your body is conditioned over time. A few tips- I personally had more of a "fall, get up and learn" experience, so when I started, especially with heavy bags, this was the situation. Don't focus on hitting hard (you need to strengthen your body with weights and functional training to improve your power), but focus on hitting fast, light, and for longer. The first few months for me was literally a pain filled experience, where I used to sprain my wrists and ankles over and over again (from the hard hitting and starting off with a pair of 16oz's, no kidding!), but with proper strength and functional training, as well as proper punching and kicking techniques, you get stronger and go for longer gradually, over time.
Yep, you heard it right. Too much work can but the body to overstrain which leads to weaker performance, mobility and in worse cases, injury. Try not to jump into bed as soon as you had your dinner though, so
Find the right food
Do your research and figure out all the healthy food and nutrition you need. Green veggies, raw eggs, chicken breast or other lean meat, brown rice, berry shakes are all common body essentials that metabolize and help cut out fat effectively. Drinking raw eggs every morning is a powerful energy source that will keep you going throughout the whole day. Take around 2 or 3 (depending on your fitness level), and try to get them to be free range. You can also add in more eggs, but I wouldn't advise taking more than 3 yolks per day. If you must have more, make sure you separate aside the yolks and only drink the whites of eggs 4, 5, 6, etc.
Where to from Here?
As mentioned before, there are so many things you can do to achieve your weight loss goals; these are just a few of mine. They have been highly effective to me and I have never counted a single macro or carb content in my 12 years of training. The key here is to keep going and keep grinding; like I said, it'll take a while until you see results, depending on the intensity of your training, but eventually you will see them, so when you do, you'll see how well your hard work paid off.
As you can see, I have mentioned exercises you can do and food you can eat, but didn't go into too much depth into either. This is to keep the article focused on it's main topic. I will develop exercise routines and meal plans soon; when I do, I will link them back to here so you can go into depth on whichever topic you're interested in.
Now that we're done here for now- take all this knowledge, energy, desire and hunger for more; young Padawan, and put it to work for you!

Although many of the animated films of today are aimed at children, plenty of adults also enjoy them for many reasons. One of them is that these kinds of films take us back to our own younger days. Another reason is that some of things said in children's films sound amusingly inappropriate in our grown up minds. What's more, sometimes us older folk just need to be reminded of the messages and lessons that kid's films try to convey. Take a look below to read some of the best quotes from some of your favorite animated movies and enjoy!
Kung Fu Panda
He's not wrong!
An undeniable legend…
When you fail miserably at something…
Friends get these things for free…
The Lion King
The "Hakuna Matata' song is whizzing around in our heads right now!
We love these two. They set the bar for how friendship should be.
If only we had that excuse!
How wonderfully poetic…
The Croods
This one gave us a good laugh!
We love badass Fiona!

This is plain and simple grilling.
- Yield
- As many servings as the number of people.
- Again this is plain and simple. Rub olive oil over meat and season with Lawry's seasoned salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Start grill. Prepare meat with olive oil and seasonings. Place on grill when hot. Sear both sides to contain juices, reduce heat and grill until done. What could be easier?


text: Hi Team, I just got my vehicle serviced from Jay Vijay Fiat( PMC ) next to the VW showroom. I am really happy the way they serviced the vehicle. It was the first 5K service. They covered everything and ensured that nothing was missed. They explained the details of the work done and were aware what was recommended by Fiat in terms of Wheel Alignment and balancing. Also they were very courteous and ensured that the customer was point of focus with the car. Moreover it is in the heart of Pune so no long distance travelling. They are very prompt in keeping deadlines and notifying the progress of the customer. Hope this continues!!!!!

4 considerations when taxing telecoms
Increasingly, Caribbean countries are taxing telecoms and ICT. This post examines some of the pros and cons of that approach.
Across the Caribbean, many countries have implemented some kind of tax specific to telecoms. The latest countries where it has been proposed are Barbados and Antigua and Barbuda. In most instances, the tax is levied on a specific service, such as mobile/cellular calls, either where none previously existed, or at a higher rate than what might be the norm, such as that established as Value Added Tax (VAT), or General Consumption Tax (GCT).
However, while increasingly Caribbean governments are levying taxes on telecoms services, other countries, such as the United States of America (US) are planning to eliminate those that have been implemented. Yesterday, 11 February, the US Congress passed the Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act (PITFA), which would prohibit states or localities from taxing Internet access, along with banning multiple or discriminatory taxes on electronic commerce (Source: US Congress).
In both the US and Caribbean scenarios there are benefits and challenges, depending on which side of the fence you sit. Below are four things to think about when telecoms (and/or ICT) services are being taxed, or taxes are being proposed.
1. Telecoms recognised as a critical driver of economic growth and job creation
Most countries, including those in the Caribbean, have acknowledged the importance of telecoms and ICT as drivers for economic growth and job creation. It is even part of the reason why the US is seeking to pass the PITFA.
Unlike what obtained in the past, where the public service and government-owned firms were key job creators, absorbing hundreds or even thousands of individuals, most countries have had to streamline their the size of their public sector, and rely to a considerable extent on the private sector to drive growth and create jobs. In this new dispensation, the government's role is to create the enabling environment for the private sector to foster that growth, and telecoms and ICT are critical components in the ecosystem.
2. A tax on telecoms can be a critical revenue earner for governments
In recent years, telecoms, especially mobile/cellular and Internet service, have become extremely popular, with strong growth in their subscriber base and increased use of their services across a broad spectrum of activities. However, worldwide, many countries have been experiencing a significant shortfall in government revenues from traditional channels. In response to this, especially in the longstanding context of slow economic growth, countries are trying to ferret out revenues from non-traditional channels, one of which is telecoms and ICT.
In the debate in the US on the PITFA, states that would be adversely affected, such as Illinois, indicated that should the law become effective, it would lose as much as USD 390 million in revenue annually (Source: Ars Technica). In the Caribbean, the sums involved might not be as large, but a tax on telecoms could be a significant contributor to a government's coffers, to help it to cover its expenses and to provide the much-needed facilities and services to its citizens.
3. Telecoms services are still costly in the region
Although take-up of mobile/cellular service in particular is high in the Caribbean, and that for Internet service has been growing, from our efforts to monitor the spend and affordability of telecoms services, through our annual Snapshots, the prices for telecoms service is still relatively high in the region.
In our price reviews, we exclude GCT and VAT, and so focus on what the telco charges. Hence when those taxes are added, the cost for services become even more onerous, and could be linked to the declining average revenue per user, which many firms have been reporting.
4. Taxes can limit investment in the sector
Whilst it goes without saying that government generate much needed revenues from taxes, most tax payers see them not only as a financial burden, but also as a punitive measure to try to avoid, or at the very least, minimise. In the majority of Caribbean countries, investment in telecoms and ICT is privately driven, with firms hoping to make a decent return on their investment. When the tax burden is increased on their customers, their customers' behaviour/use of their services tend to change – to minimise the impact – especially since prepaid services are preferred. The result is that the firms not only experience lower revenues and profits, but frequently they have to revisit their business model and consider the overall/long-term viability of their investment.

Hi again. Thanks for that warning note. I'm not aware of that happening in the EU but this tactic is similar to that I've just posted on another section of Pulse regarding the creeping use of international ICT intermediaries as tax collectors
In fact, the derivative tax benefits ( ie the tax collected from, say, employees of Telecoms, Goods and Services Tax from devices which people have to buy to use Telecom services, and other indirect taxes arising from Telecoms etc ) are much more valuable and substantial than the direct corporate taxes under discussion.
As a recent article in The Economist pointed out, corporate taxes are a poor way to raise revenue. In corporate tax, the burden is ultimately borne by the people ( investors, workers, consumers, etc ). Therefore, a more efficient and effective approach is to tax them ( the people ) more reasonably but directly.
Corporate taxation rules stem from the old age of manufacturing and blue-collar operations. Applying the same principles in the age of e-commerce and intangible intellectual property is wholly counter-productive.

Luke Gould begins a two-match ban as Fareham & Crofton look to continue their winning ways at Portchester in Hampshire League division one.
But the Bath Lane skipper insists the suspension, imposed by his own club, was not in relation to a bad-tempered derby with Purbrook last week.
Instead it was for dissent shown towards an umpire in a clash at Locks Heath.
And Gould believes he has learned his lesson.
'I have to hold my hands up and admit I was guilty,' said the all-rounder.
'As captain it wasn't the greatest example to set and this ban is my own stupid fault.
'Since the incident I have tried to be a lot more responsible. This has nothing to do with the events at Purbrook last week.'
Batsman Thomas Kent returns for Fareham & Crofton but they are without talented young seamer Luke Cornish.
Gould, who will watch from the sidelines, is expecting a tough test from Portchester.
'They are a good all-round unit and up around the top year after year,' he said.
'In Dave O'Neill they have a dangerous bowler and both the Locke brothers are capable of scoring big runs.'
Purbrook and Locks Heath are both looking for a return to form as they meet at Purbrook Heath.
The visitors promote Ollie Adams for his senior debut after he has impressed with a couple of centuries in division three south.
They are also boosted by the return of miserly bowler Dave Lemon from injury.
With Alex Richardson also back, Locks Heath are almost at full-strength.
'After the dejection of last week (at Easton & Maryr Worthy) it would be nice to get back to winning ways,' said captain Jack Levy.
Unbeaten Waterlooville can take a step closer to promotion with victory over Rowledge II at Rowlands Avenue.
In division two, Hayling Island make the long journey to Hungerford, while Sarisbury II will look to get their promotion bid back on track against Liphook & Ripsley II.
Bedhampton Mariners, who have found their feet after last season's relegation, visit Mudeford.

Elite Belmont 8ft x 20ft Greenhouse
We are committed to Low Prices.
If you find any of our products on the price promise pages advertised, and in stock and immediately available, at any of our competitors we will endeavour to match the price.
Product Code: ELI-BEL-20
This is a marvellous opportunity to create a 8ft 5ins x 20ft 7ins bespoke greenhouse that meets your every need. Elite provide a robust maintenance free frame that's already fitted with six roof vents and an integral base and leave you to build a bespoke growing environment.

Now you have the chance to fill this spacious working and growing area with options such as staging and shelving, a louvre vent or perhaps an internal partition. You can consider a double door upgrade and outside you might think a rain collection kit would be a good idea. A customised dwarf wall will transform the greenhouse's appearance.
Your can personalise the greenhouse however you like from a long list of accessories . Adding practical items as well as embellishments such as cresting and a finial along the ridge so that the greenhouse you have created really stands out from the crowd.

Select Your Options
Option 1 > Choose Your Frame Colour
Please select from the following ten frame colours. Milled Silver aluminium is pre-selected by default and is the standard option. However, powder coated frame options are also available at an additional cost.
See our handy details page here for more information on powder coating options.
Option 2 > Choose Your Greenhouse Glass
We offer three different types of glazing: 3mm Horticultural Glass which is pre-selected by default, but you can upgrade to single sheet Toughened Glass or 6mm Polycarbonate Glazing here.
As Horticultural Glass is included in your frame price it is a NO COST option. The additional cost of Toughened Glass or Polycarbonate Glazing is indicated below.
Please Note: Greenhouse glass images below are for guidance only.
Option 3 > Bar Capping?
Bar capping is a continuous strip glazing system used instead of glazing clips, this gives a far neater streamlined appearance. It's made from PVC and is UVI treated.
For a more detailed explanation of what bar capping is, see our handy Bar Capping Guide here.
Please Note: Bar Capping is NOT suitable for use with horticultural glass. But is recommended for use with single sheet toughened and polycarbonate glazing.
Option 4 > Cresting and Finials?
Crestings and Finials are available in either a standard silver milled aluminium or any of powder coated colours depending on your chosen greenhouse frame above.
If required please tick the appropriate check box below to match the colour of the finials to your chosen greenhouse colour finish above.
Option 5 > Double Door Upgrade?
A Single Door comes as standard but you can upgrage to Double Doors which are available in either silver aluminium or matching powder coated colours.
Please select from the following double door options below; if you have previously chosen Bar Capping you will also need to select the option below WITH Bar Capping.
Option 6 > Cambered Door Sill and Support Plate
Should your greenhouse be built on compacted soil or grass we would recommend using the Cambered Door Cill with Support Plate over and under the bottom door rail as this will help spread the load and stops the rail sinking overtime.
Alternatively, wheelchairs and wheelbarrows will be able to access the greenhouse with the minimum of fuss over the low beam when using this ramp cill and support.
Option 7 > Internal Partition with Double Doors?
Would you like an Internal Partition with Double Doors?
This option enables you to divide your greenhouse into 2 sections. This is ideal where you wish to create areas or zones for plants with differing needs.
Available in milled silver aluminium or powder coated coloured finish, complete with integral base and double doors. You can also choose to have Bar Capping and all the glazing options are available.
If you choose an Internal Partition you will need to tick 1 of the first 3 boxes below. You then add to your initial choice by ticking any other appropriate boxes. You may have to tick up to 3 check boxes. This is a complex option so please choose carefully!
We will contact to you to determine the final positioning of you partition.

Purchase one set of staging to fit a certain area, or multiple sets (e.g 6ft + 8ft lengths together) which can be used to fill a whole 14ft side or two of your greenhouse.
Alternatively, go with the more traditional wooden staging which is available in 4ft lengths.
Accessories > Shelving?
By adding a shelf or two to your greenhouse, you'll have added workspace areas to store small tools, pots and seedlings. Each set of shelves comes complete with the necessary braces to install them to your Elite greenhouse frame.
You may decide to purchase a set of 8ft + 6ft staging which will then fit one full length (14ft) inside your greenhouse, or alternatively purchase four sets (2x 8ft and 2x 6ft) shelves to fit along both sides of your greenhouse.

Sitting on the edge of my bed to put on my shoes, I grumble a bit in my spirit. I'm about to load the trunk of the minivan with a week's worth of garbage. Smelly garbage because the mice have made a sudden, unwelcome return and there are a few mixed in with packaging and dirty diapers and junk mail. This isn't exactly what I had in mind when we moved to the country, but we never thought to even inquire about trash service.
Who in the city really thinks about things like that? It never occurred to me that there might be places where the trash wasn't picked up. The do-it-yourself country attitude already set our land on fire. Now it is filling my mini-van with garbage. For just $18.50 a month, we get to haul our own garbage into town to dump in the garbage man's dumpsters.
What a deal. I never even knew how much I wanted a pick-up until now.
So I'm sitting on my bed, in no particular hurry to get my shoes on. It occurs to me that perhaps I should show a little more patience to the children in their dallying, for here I am. Dilly dallying. They're all outside waiting on me.
I look out my window. At the green grass, the blue sky, the old barns and the farmland beyond. I smile. The view always does that for me. My husband and I are in agreement that someday, someday, when all the bills are paid, the improvements made, the projects finished, someday we'll knock out this wall and make an enormous picture window.
And then, there's my son. Just running. Running through knee deep grass, the wind in his face, joy beaming from his every move. Running, and jumping over stands of weeds. Running back to try it again. Running and prancing and shaking his head. Biting at an imaginary bit, he turns and runs and this time clears the weeds and trots around in a large, victorious circle.
It reminds me of when we first bought this property, but were still living at our old house.
"Mom, when we finally move, we probably aren't going to be so interested in TV, anymore. There's just too much to do."
Indeed there is.
Funny how such small things can change your perspective and remind you of why you are where you are. I load the car with the garbage, make a face at the girls in the back seat as I ask if they want their windows open and call my young stallion to the car.
I leave feeling contentment and joy, even at the reality of driving my garbage in to town. It is such a small price to pay for a landscape on which to build our dreams.

How I Met My Son : A Journey Through Adoption Paperback
by Rosalind Powell
'Honest, funny and, crucially, helpful to anyone who has ever had difficulty conceiving or considered adoption, this is required reading.' Emma Thompson When journalist Rosalind Powell and her husband wanted to start a family, they had no idea of the journey that lay ahead.
Encountering fertility issues and gruelling IVF treatment to no avail, but still determined to be parents, they set off on the adoption route.
After many false starts and dashed hopes they eventually, and luckily, found their son.
How I Met My Son is more than a memoir, it is an invaluable guide to the reality of adoption in the UK.
Both joyful and heartbreaking, the path to becoming a parent is laid bare.
The story explores the sadness of infertility, the rigours of IVF, the minefield of social services, the intensity of the assessment process, the difficulties of choosing a child (and being chosen) and the happiness and shock of finally bringing that child home.A candid, compelling and inspirational book about what it means to be a parent of a child that isn't, biologically, your own.'Whether you have no children, have been through IVF, fostered, adopted or borne biological children, this stunning warts-and-all account of the yearning to parent is a must-read.
Powell's experiences, told with such particular and often heart-rending hilarity, speak to the universal questions we all ask of our parents, partners, friends and ultimately of ourselves.' Cate Blanchett

Minimalist Endless Sketcher Snow Slopes Boogies Onto Android
An addicting new indie runner by the name of Snow Slopes has arrived on the scene and is being praised for its seamless spin on a classic formula with simple yet deep ideas. The inaugural title for independent studio G12 Dev, Snow Slopes is a spiritual successor to the classic Line Runner that trades skis for snowboards and takes the gameplay into a brand new direction altogether.
The premise behind Snow Slopes is deceptively straight forward. As an unseen ethereal being, players must literally move mountains for their stickman snowboarder avatar so that he can gain some serious air and not die in the process. Momentum is key which creates an uneasy back and forth between focusing on either precise control or raw speed. Another new element introduced in Snow Slopes is the concept of time. Collecting tokens scattered across each stage adds precious seconds to the clock and are critical to a successful run.
Players are rewarded for taking risks and perfoming crazy stunts in the form of multipliers and hard to reach power ups. While racing down the down the side of a mountain at break neck speed and then launching off a 60 foot ramp to do a triple backflip may sound like fun, just make sure you land right side up if you want to keep racing.
Snow Slopes is an insanely addicting physics romp that gets everything right. It's also available now on Google Play in both free and paid editions.

Parental involvement at Gingin DHS not only enhances learning programs, but also gives parents the opportunity to be a part of their child's school-based education. There are a range of areas in which parents can assist — from classroom helper to canteen assistant, as well as more formal roles in representative bodies.
Children derive great pleasure and benefit from having parents in the classroom. Parents are able to assist in hearing children read, making charts and other aids, helping children who need practice in a particular area, helping in the classroom and assisting with art/craft work. If you are able to assist in any way, please contact the school, or the teacher of your child.
The active participation of parents and guardians in the P&C is welcomed and encouraged. The P&C promotes the best interests of the school, and assists with the provision of resources, facilities and amenities for students. It helps the school make decisions about resources; provides for involvement in the School Council; offers a community, as well as parent, perspective on education issues; makes decisions regarding school facilities managed by the P&C (for example, the Canteen); plans fundraising activities and discusses how funds will be spent; and allows a forum to meet other parents and share views. Meetings are usually held twice per term in weeks 3 and 7 at 6.30 pm on Wednesday.
The decision making group for our school is the Gingin DHS School Council. The School Council is comprised of the Principal, school staff, parents and community members. Parents and staff members retain office for two-year terms but may be re-elected at the completion of their term. Nominations are called for early in Term One, and elections are held at the P & C AGM (annual general meeting).
The School Council makes decisions on financial planning, school performance in priority areas, and setting school priorities. The School Council also determines school objectives; promotes the school in the community; formulates codes of conduct for students; determines the dress policy; and sets school charges and contributions. It also assists the Principal when required in other areas of school management. Parents are invited to nominate for School Council at the P&C Annual General Meeting (as P&C Representative), and as School Council vacancies occur.

Jennifer and Robert wedding merits some glorious blogging and I officially apologize for taking so long to share these images from their beautiful summer wedding. The wedding was held at the Austin Country Club, a classy and sought after venue in the verdant hills of west Austin. Thunderstorms loomed all day so the ceremony was moved inside and a beautiful floral arch was created by the masterful Keith from Westbank Flower Market. Luckily we got to sneak outside for a few minutes to capture some photographs of the lovely couple before it began to drizzle. The rest of the evenings festivities were a delight, with toasts, dancing, and a flat out memorably good time. Again, my warmest congratulations to the happy couple!

Beautiful photos! Looks like a lovely wedding.

Roque Tome Fernandes has been selected as King Momo
For those who may miss the Carnival parade, can join the fun at the following places;
Dancing in the streets, brilliantly coloured floats festooned with a rainbow of flowers and feathers, masks - and of course the grand finale; the crowning of King Momo and the Red and Black ball. All this and more is part and parcel of Carnaval in Goa. King Momo...Read more +
King Momo, or the king of Chaos, is a character derived from the Greek god Momus, who is the god of satire. He is usually depicted removing a mask. Like in the many of the Latino Carnivals, the Goa Carnival also crowns a King Momo, usually a large gentleman. The court of King Momo in Goa is usually made up of fire eaters, jesters, dancers, a brass band and other revellers who make their way down the streets of Panaji whilst the King encourages people to "Kha, piye aani majja kar" i.e. "Eat, drink and make merry.
There are celebrations in villages and cities all across Goa. The parade with its floats, entertainers and dancers moves through the major cities. Festivities usually begin around 3 pm and last for about 3 hours. The celebrations culminate with the famous Red and Black Ball which is usually held at the Club National in Panaji, on the evening of the last day.
The legendary King Momo will rule over Goa for four days and will throw open Carnaval revelry in the capital city on 25th February 2017.
Elaborate floats, music, dancing and décor will form part of the four day Carnaval extravaganza and one you will not want to miss. Float parades in the four cities: Panjim, Margao, Vasco and Mapusa will be held from February 25-28 respectively.
Some history on Carnaval:
Carnaval is celebrated in Goa since the 18th century. Meant to be a feasting-drinking-merrymaking orgy just before the 40 days of Lent; a time of abstinence and spirituality. The Carnaval is exclusive and unique to Goa, and was introduced by the Portuguese who ruled over Goa for over five hundred years.
The float parades are organized in association with the State Tourism Department. Although, the four-day festival is primarily celebrated by Christians, it has also absorbed Hindu tradition revelry, western dance forms, and turned into a pageantry of sorts.
The origins and nature of the carnaval can be traced to the hedonistic feasts of ancient Rome and Greece.
The word Carnival (Carnaval in Portuguese) is derived from a Latin word meaning to take away meat and is an expression of the 40-day period of fasting of Lent, during which abstinence from meat is a rule.
The carnaval is not celebrated anywhere else in India and was in decline even in Goa in the last few years of Portuguese rule. It was revived with the Liberation of Goa, and is a boost to tourism drawing lakhs of tourists from far and wide to witness and participate in the four day revelry.

The most interesting classes among the many kinds of priests, monks and other people, who make religion a profession in India, are the thugs, fakirs and nautch girls, who are supposed to devote their lives and talents to the service of the gods. There are several kinds of fakirs and other religious mendicants in India, about five thousand in number, most of them being nomads, wandering from city to city and temple to temple, dependent entirely upon the charity of the faithful. They reward those who serve them with various forms of blessings; give them advice concerning all the affairs of life from the planting of their crops to the training of their children. They claim supernatural powers to confer good and invoke evil, and the curse of a fakir is the last misfortune that an honest Hindu cares to bring upon himself, for it means a failure of his harvests, the death of his cattle by disease, sickness in his family and bad luck in everything that he undertakes. Hence these holy men, who are familiars of the gods, and are believed to spend most of their time communicating with them in some mysterious way about the affairs of the world, are able to command anything the people have to give, and nobody would willingly cross their shadows or incur their displeasure. The name is pronounced as if it were spelled "fah-keer."
These religious mendicants go almost naked, usually with nothing but the smallest possible breech clout around their loins, which the police require them to wear; they plaster their bodies with mud, ashes and filth; they rub clay, gum and other substances into their hair to give it an uncouth appearance. Sometimes they wear their hair in long braids hanging down their backs like the queue of a Chinaman; sometimes in short braids sticking out in every direction like the wool of the pickaninnies down South. Some of them have strings of beads around their necks, others coils of rope round them. They never wear hats and usually carry nothing but a small brass bowl, in imitation of Buddha, which is the only property they possess on earth. They are usually accompanied by a youthful disciple, called a "chela," a boy of from 10 to 15 years of age, who will become a fakir himself unless something occurs to change his career.
Many of the fakirs endeavor to make themselves look as hideous as possible. They sometimes whitewash their faces like clowns in circuses; paint lines upon their cheeks and draw marks under their eyes to give them an inhuman appearance. At certain seasons of the year they may clothe themselves in filthy rags for the time being as an evidence of humility. Most of them are very thin and spare of flesh, which is due to their long pilgrimages and insufficient nourishment. They sleep wherever they happen to be. They lie down on the roadside or beneath a column of a temple, or under a cart, or in a stable. Sometimes kindly disposed people give them beds, but they have no regular habits; they sleep when they are sleepy, rest when they are tired and continue their wanderings when they are refreshed.
About the time the people of the country are breakfasting in the morning the chela starts out with the brass bowl and begs from house to house until the bowl is filled with food, when he returns to wherever his master is waiting for him and they share its contents between them. Again at noon and again at night the chela goes out on similar foraging expeditions and conducts the commissary department in that way. The fakir himself is supposed never to beg; the gods he worships are expected to take care of him, and if they do not send him food he goes without it. It is a popular delusion that fakirs will not accept alms from anyone for any purpose, for I have considerable personal experience to the contrary.

Scientists have finished reading the "book of life", the three billion letters of DNA that spell out the recipe of a person.
Half a century after scientists in Cambridge first unveiled DNA's double helix molecular structure, an international team yesterday unveiled an accurate DNA recipe - genome - of a human being.
The completion of the Human Genome Project, ahead of schedule and under cost, was announced yesterday by the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium.
The largest contributor was the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute near Cambridge, which carried out nearly a third of the work at a cost of £150 million.
The effort was welcomed for providing "the fundamental platform for understanding ourselves" and "a healthier future" said the Prime Minister and the heads of government of the consortium's six member countries.
Scientists also unveiled their vision for the future of genome research in Nature, the journal that published the landmark paper by James Watson and Francis Crick in April 1953.
The Watson and Crick paper described the double helix structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which contains instructions - coded as a series of chemical "letters" - needed to build and operate every organism.
The human genome project is considered one of the most ambitious scientific undertakings, likened to splitting the atom or going to the Moon.
But when it was launched in 1990, many were sceptical - not least because it was then thought it would cost about £2 billion and take until 2005.
In fact, the project has cost around £1.7 billion and published its first draft in June 2000, which covered 90 per cent of the gene-containing part - at an error rate of one in 1,000 "letters" - with more than 150,000 gaps.
Yesterday's "finished" sequence contains fewer than 400 gaps and 99 per cent of it has an accuracy rate of less than one error every 10,000 letters.
"Never would I have dreamed in 1953 that my scientific life would encompass the path from DNA's double helix to the three billion steps of the human genome," said Dr James Watson, president of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and first leader of the Human Genome Project.
"When the opportunity arose to sequence the human genome, I knew it was something that could be done - and that must be done. The completion of the Human Genome Project is a truly momentous occasion for every human."
When the project began, scientists had discovered fewer than 100 human disease genes. Today, more than 1,400 disease genes have been identified. Prof Allan Bradley, a director of Sanger Institute, said: "The health benefits could be phenomenal."
The US National Human Genome Research Institute in Bethesda, Maryland, has set out a series of "Grand Challenges" to energise the field, such as to understand the relationship between genomics, race and ethnicity.
Another aim is to find new technologies that can read the entire genome of any person for less than £650, a challenge already being taken up by the company Solexa, which has come out of Cambridge University.
"We will begin to gain valuable new insights into human evolution, as well as human health and disease," said Dr Richard Gibbs, director of Baylor College of Medicine's Human Genome Sequencing Centre.

How to Run a Successful Social Sweepstakes (and Why It's a Good Idea!)
Everyone loves the opportunity to win a good prize. Running a sweepstakes on social media can be a fantastic way to reach your brand's goals, while engaging and growing your audience. But a social sweepstakes isn't something you can throw together in a day and expect to run seamlessly. A great campaign requires careful thought, planning and execution.
Follow these steps and learn how to run a successful social sweepstakes:
Be clear about your goals.
A common mistake brands make is launching a social sweepstakes without knowing exactly why. Don't accept vague ideas like "to build awareness" or "to get more followers" without asking follow-up questions. Clarify specific goals. What are you building awareness of? A new product or offering? Why do you want a bigger audience, and are you targeting the right kind of loyal followers? Be able to sum up your main contest goal clearly before you go any further. You may have secondary objectives, but make sure your call to action is simple and singular.
Choose a sweepstakes platform.
There are a lot of different tools available to run contests and giveaways, so it pays to do your homework and select one that fits your goals. Three platforms that we use often at MtoM are Shortstack, Rafflecopter and Gleam:
Shortstack has an excellent interface for collecting user-generated content – photos, videos, text – that can be repurposed for your brand. It's also a good platform for boosting lead generation or sales. Shortstack is easy to use as a participant and an administrator. In a Mother's Day giveaway we launched for Levana, a baby monitor company, we asked moms what surprised them most about becoming a parent. When a participant responded to the question, she was entered to win an HD video baby monitor.
Rafflecopter is simple and intuitive with tons of great features, and it adapts well to small or large giveaways. You can customize the design easily without knowing any coding, and you can choose from several different pricing options. We used Rafflecopter for another Levana sweepstakes; participants had to answer a few short questions to enter to win a baby monitor. The responses provided Levana with valuable customer data (for example: Tell Us Your Baby's Age and How Many Kids Do You Have?).
Gleam is another comprehensive sweepstakes platform that makes it easy to set up a campaign, adapt it to social networks and pick a winner at random. It also offers good fraud detection features and three pricing levels. In this contest for the Environmental Working Group, MtoM designed a sweepstakes to win one of five luxury beauty baskets. Participants had to opt into ongoing communications with EWG, either by following on social media or signing up for the email newsletter.
Define the fine print.
This part requires attention to detail. Set the duration of the social sweepstakes (often three to four weeks), the rules and the prize. Write and rewrite the promotional copy so that all the details are clear. Decide when you want to launch and if there's an event you want the giveaway to tie into (for example, a holiday or a new product release). Set a marketing budget, and decide how you want to spend it.
Put your careful plan into action. Work with influencers in your space to get their audience involved. Promote the sweepstakes on your social channels. Create ad campaigns, tracking and tweaking the copy to see what performs best.
Pick a winner.
Make a big deal of choosing a winner and announcing on social media. Follow up with her and feature a short write-up with her reaction. Be sure to thank everyone who participated, and tease any other upcoming giveaways to keep an eye out for. Internally, wrap up the campaign by reviewing the results and lessons learned. What can you take away for the next time around?

Eric Gordon, Andy Granese, Julie Landy, Adelaide Zhang The Romanian Revolution of 1989 Background In the 1980s, Romanian president Nicolae Ceausescu introduced an austerity program that was supposed to pay off the country's national debt of $10 billion.
Part of the program included the rationing of basic goods, which increased malnutrition and the infant mortality rate, and caused fuel shortages and frequent loss of electricity.
These conditions continued after the debt was paid off, even though the plan had succeeded sooner than even Ceausescu had expected.
Meanwhile, the secret police force (the Securitate) which had been instituted during the communist regime, grew in strength and brutality.
People felt that they were being watched during every aspect of their lives. The Beginning: The first protests occurred in the city of Timisoara, on the 16th of December, 1989.
They began in response to an attempt by the government to evict a Romanian church pastor, Laszlo Tokes.
Many passers-by, including students, randomly joined in.
The mayor would not confirm his statement against the eviction in writing; rioters became impatient and started chanting anticommunist slogans.
Securitate showed up, things got ugly – there were fights, tear gas use, water jet use, and many arrests.
Riots resumed the next three days and on the 19th workers in city factories refused to work. December 21st On the 21st of December, Ceauşescu addressed a crowd of 100,000 people at the capital.
The people did not respond well -- a few minutes in, many began to boo.
Ceauşescu tried then to bribe the crowd with student scholarship and worker salary increases, but his words were unsuccessful.
Riots broke out once more and the Securitate fired into the crowds. There were again beatings and arrests. Ceausescu's Fall: Ceauşescu's minister of defense, Vasile Milea, died under "mysterious circumstances" and a large portion of the military went over to the revolution.
Ceauşescu then appointed Victor Stănculescu as the new minister of defense. Stănculescu convinced Ceauşescu to flee, essentially making the dictator a fugitive.
When angry protesters began storming the Communist headquarters, Stănculescu and his soldiers did not oppose them. Sources http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/574200.stm
http://www.academia.edu/190349/Romania_protest_and_revolution_20th_century#outer_page_1>. Romania has become committed to Democratic change after Ceausescu's reign.
Extravagant gifts received from World Powers by the Ceausescu regime have been auctioned off in an attempt to bury their megalomania
All the same, feelings of mistrust and secrecy have remained in the Romanian people.
Even though the regime was over, there was still the notion that nobody ever questions what they are told by superiors. In a way, Ceausescu still had power over the Romanian people, even from the grave. The Aftermath of the Revolution The Aftermath of the Revolution Ion Iliescu, of the National Salvation Front, succeeded Ceauşescu.
He had been a former Communist Party Member and Ceauşescu supporter, before falling into disfavor in the early 1980s.
A new economic system, free of Communists and supporters of Ceausescu was necessary, but difficult to implement
There was much turmoil and tension between traditionalists and reformists following the revolution.
Even after the revolution was over, there was extensive deceit, especially amongst the
Timisoara December 22nd Trial and Execution Ceausescu's Fall Ceausescu's Fall: Nicolae and Elena Ceauşescu were captured and arrested soon after their escape.
On the 25th of December, the two were tried by a military tribunal and charged with genocide, damage to the national economy, and abuse of power.
The trial lasted about two hours, and after being found guilty and given death sentences, the Ceauşescus were executed.
Fighting continued even after Ceauşescu's fall. A series of terrorist attacks were carried out after his death, and continued until the 27th of December, when they mysteriously stopped.
No one is sure who ordered the attacks or their termination, but there is some suspicion that those still loyal to Ceauşescu were to blame.

Hyman Bloom, 96; painted works of grisly Expressionism
August 28, 2009
© The Boston Globe. Reproduced with permission.
Hyman Bloom, a Boston painter considered a maverick but key figure in the art world, died Wednesday in Nashua. He was 96 – old enough, and independent enough, that his art had already gone in and out of fashion several times.
When, in 1996, the Fuller Museum in Brockton mounted an exhibition of six decades of his work, it had been more than 40 years since his last comprehensive solo show.
In recent years, however, Mr. Bloom's once fading star had begun to shine anew. Three years ago, Katherine French, director of the Danforth Museum of Art in Framingham, curated "Hyman Bloom: A Spiritual Embrace,'' an exhibition that will be on view at Yeshiva University Museum in New York City, beginning Sept. 13.
"There was nobody like him,'' French said. "Every major museum in the United States has Hyman Bloom paintings. I firmly believe that he will be considered not only a great American painter, but a great contemporary painter.''
Pamela Allara, professor emerita of contemporary art at Brandeis University, called Mr. Bloom "certainly one of the best post-war American painters,'' one whose work was, through accident of timing, eclipsed by Abstract Expressionism.
"I think now, slowly, his reputation is building back,'' Allara said. "I have no doubt that he will resume his proper place in the history of American art.''
Mr. Bloom had lived in Brookline and Cambridge, moving to Nashua, N.H., in 1983. His wife, Stella, brought him for tests Wednesday to Southern New Hampshire Medical Center in Nashua, where he died.
In 1979, the Institute of Contemporary Art included Mr. Bloom, Jack Levine, and Karl Zerbe in a show called '''Boston Expressionism.'' At the time, Globe art critic Robert Taylor wrote "the '40s and '50s in America represent an heroic age for the artists of New York; it was also a period of heroic accomplishment for the painters of Boston. It saw the first indigenous style to emerge here in this century.''
Mr. Bloom was that rarity, a childhood prodigy in visual art, a field that has even fewer Mozart-equivalents than music. His was a classic American success story. His Latvian Jewish immigrant family settled in Boston in the 1920s. His talent was first recognized by Harold Zimmerman, a perceptive teacher at a Jewish community center in the city's West End. It wasn't long before Denman Ross, a Harvard professor and leading figure in Boston's cultural scene, became Mr. Bloom's patron, providing him with a $12 a week stipend so that he could devote himself to painting.
During the Depression, Mr. Bloom was part of the Works Progress Administration federal arts project that gave much-needed employment to many artists. He would eventually show at high-profile museums including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and at prestigious events including the Venice Biennale.
Ross gave paintings by Mr. Bloom to Harvard's Fogg Art Museum, and collectors including William Lane donated them to such institutions as the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover.
"I always admired his work, and I think he was a very important painter, especially for Boston,'' Theodore E. Stebbins, Jr., curator of American art at the Harvard Art Museum, said of Mr. Bloom. "He and Karl Zerbe were the leading Boston expressionists. I always tried to hang both of their works when I was at the Museum of Fine Arts to show people that history is complex. I tried to show them near Jackson Pollock and Franz Kline and the Abstract Expressionists. The tradition of the Boston Expressionists is an important one.''
But by mid-century, Abstract Expressionism had put Mr. Bloom's career in the shadows. He could not compete with the hype of Pollock, photographed for the cover of Life magazine pouring paint on canvas. Ironically, Pollock was one of those who credited Mr. Bloom with being a precursor of the Abstract Expressionist movement.
"Without him, Abstract Expressionism would not have existed in the way that it did,'' French said of Mr. Bloom. "He was really very inspirational to the group of painters who helped found that movement.''
Mr. Bloom did not care about being a precursor, though, or about being fashionable. He cared about painting. He would stick to a subject with the tenacity of a ravenous dog holding a bone. The subjects of his work, meanwhile, did not tend toward the pleasant or
the decorative.
In the 1940s he was painting corpses in a deliberately repellent style. They are inevitably connected with the Holocaust; in his youth Mr. Bloom had wanted to become a rabbi.
His not-so-still lifes and his apocalyptic landscapes suggest a world on the verge of destruction. He could paint ordinary fish as if they were participating in the Last Judgment.
Writing in the Globe about a 1968 show of Mr. Bloom's work at Boston University, critic Edgar J. Driscoll Jr. was startled by a young gallerist's announcement that Mr. Bloom was having a "revival.'' The younger generation of the 1960s didn't know his work. "Discipline, and craftsmanship – to say nothing of personal, not pasted-on vision – are cornerstones of his art,'' Driscoll wrote.
Mr. Bloom could draw figures with the musculature of Michelangelo and the spirituality of William Blake. He abandoned the former as his figures started to dissolve into other sorts of creatures.
He was willing to experiment, to the point of using the consciousness-altering drug LSD under controlled medical supervision. He also attended séances in his quest for metaphysical truth. Given his penchant for the visionary, and the hallucinogenic quality of his work, this comes as no surprise.
Writing about Mr. Bloom's 2002 show at the National Academy of Design Museum in New York, Joel Silverstein noted that the artist's philosophy ''constitutes a profound renunciation of materialist culture'' and cited Mr. Bloom's many sources, from Chassidism to Asian religions to Hindu music.
The monumental "Painting in Boston: 1950 – 2000'' exhibition at the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park in Lincoln in 2002 also put Mr. Bloom in the context of his contemporaries (David Aronson, Jack Levine) as well as much younger artists (Jon Imber, Todd McKie). That show made Mr. Bloom look less an outsider and more a pivotal figure, at least in the Boston art scene as it developed in the second half of the 20th century.
Still, he was decidedly out-of-sync with the art world for most of his career, and he deliberately avoided it by spending his later years in the Maine woods before moving to Nashua. Previously, he had also lived in Brookline and Cambridge.
When abstraction and minimalism prevailed, he stuck to figuration and canvases crammed with bizarre imagery. His subjects – based on sources including trips to the morgue – put off all but the bravest potential buyers. Over the sofa painting his was not.
And then there was his distaste for self-promotion, to the extent, Driscoll observed in 1968, that at the opening of his BU show that year, an occasion for honoring the artist, Hyman Bloom sat outside in his car.
Mr. Bloom married Stella Caralis on July 20, 1978, her birthday, some 13 years after he had first proposed.
"This year for my birthday,'' she said, "he did a drawing, of him and I, sitting at a table.''
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. today in Levine Chapel in Brookline. Burial will be in Vilno Cemetery in West Roxbury.
Bryan Marquard of the Globe staff contributed to this report.
Unfair summation of groundbreaking artist
I found the selection of the word "grisly" offensive in the headline of your lengthy obituary of Hyman Bloom, one of the most important artists of his era ("Hyman Bloom, 96; painted works of grisly Expressionism," Aug. 28). It is not possible to view the complete body of Bloom's work as anything less than extraordinary. Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning hailed Bloom as the groundbreaking leader of their movement, and in the 1940s and '50s he was considered one of the most important artists in the world. His inspiring and colorful paintings of chandeliers, Christmas trees, seances, landscapes, and men deep in prayer are anything but grisly.
True, a major portion of Bloom's work contemplates death of body and timelessness of spirit, yet the glory, grace, and extraordinary skill transcending these paintings leave the optimistic impression that the demise of the body is not the demise of the spirit.
Your headline was an unfair summation. It acquiesces to a society obsessed with youth and with death's denial, and contributes to a strain of misguided criticism that banished Bloom in the last five decades of his life. He bravely never wavered under these pressures. Readers can decide for themselves at the September New York show you mentioned.

A third group of suspected illegal immigrants - including two children - have been found hiding on another refrigerated Spanish lorry bound for the Boston area.
The lorry driver was alerted to the stowaways at about 1pm yesterday – while parked in a layby near McDonalds roundabout on the A16 at Spalding.
The four people, 43-year-old man, a 35-year-old woman and two young boys aged 10 and two, are all from Iran.
They were suffering from the effects of cold and taken to Pilgrim Hospital as a precaution.
A Lincolnshire Police spokesman said: "They were in terribly cold conditions - which just shows how desperate some people are to get to this country.
"They will be placed in the care of the UK Border Agency and taken to immigration detention."
The supply lorry, carrying chilled broccoli and cabbages, was on its way to a commercial company in Butterwick.
This latest incident comes just days after The Standard brought you the news of two other Spanish lorries bound for Boston - which were found to be carrying suspected illegal immigrants.
They were all men, from Iran, Syria and Vietnam.
