The sun was shining on Moville this weekend as hundreds of Bob Dylan fans flocked to the town for the return of the annual DylanFest.
As many people enjoyed the combination of sunshine and good music, many of the business people in the town enjoyed a rare boost to their sales.
Organiser Gerry McLaughlin (below) described the festival as the "most successful one to date."
While businessman, Mick Cavanagh, owner of Rawdons Bar on the Malin Road, said he was delighted with the boost to business.
"It was a lot busier than a normal weekend for sure. We were busy all day Saturday and with the live music on that night in the Malin Road, people hung around."
However it wasn't just Saturday that proved to be a hit with people, the crowd stayed for the whole weekend.
"Friday night as well was a lot busier than normal, I had extra staff on in the bar, but they were very busy. The Dylanfest definitely brought a good crowd of tourists about the town."
Organiser Gerry McLaughlin said all but two of Moville's pubs had a Dylan act on and there were lots of visitors around.
"The acts were the highest quality that we've had and we discovered two more, Jacques Mees from Holland and Gary Teer from the Ardoyne in Belfast who played McGettigan's on Saturday night.
"It was great to have it back out in the street again with Al Diesan & Pino Tocco, the stars of last year, and Spring Tides played a fantastic gig at the Picnic In The Park on Saturday up at the White Wall."
Surprisingly Gerry said he was delighted with the amount of families who came out to watch the music and enjoy the atmosphere.
The Scotch man believes this will stand by Moville in future and help boost there tourism potential.
"It was great to see the families out watching it. It all bodes well for next year when it will coincide with the Round-The-World Clipper Race," he concluded.

Braces are used to help straighten teeth, close spaces between them, and correct a person's bite. They consist of small metal attachments called brackets, an archwire, and connective rubber elastics. The brackets can be made from nickel titanium, silver, acrylic, porcelain or gold. They are cemented on the teeth that need to be altered in position, and are strategically placed on different teeth at each stage of the repositioning in order to perfect their alignment. Each bracket contains a small space allowing for the archwire to fit through it and connect the brackets with one another. The archwire is secured to the brackets with little rubber elastics, a continuous chain of elastics, or metal ties.
How it's done
An orthodontic metal wire is banded in a specific way that is necessary to fix the misaligned teeth and is then attached onto brackets that have been bonded to your teeth. Gradually this wire will straighten, applying pressure to your teeth and shifting them in the process. This whole procedure will take from one to two and a half years, with adjustments made to the braces approximately every four to six weeks. After the desired outcome is established and your teeth have reached their optimal position, a retainer is worn to ensure that they won't relapse.
How to maintain it
In order to safeguard your braces, try to stay away from tough meats, hard breads, raw vegetables and any sticky or chewy foods. It is vital not to bite into foods like apples, corn on the cob and carrots as this could lead to the detachment of the wire from one or more of the attached brackets or even the complete removal of the brackets themselves. If this occurs, a reattachment procedure will be necessary.
If you find the appearance of braces unsightly, a more comfortable and invisible option is the transparent aligner.

An ugly take on a beautiful play
Sir -- I read Emer O'Kelly's critique of McDonagh's Beauty Queen of Leenane in the Sunday Independent, May 15.
It is clear the writer has a deep-set antipathy towards this play and her summation is damning of the production, though not of the cast.
Ms O'Kelly indicates her utter dislike of the premise that a household can be caught in a 1950s time warp while struggling in the 1980s. I do not accept her view that families cannot have well-kept secrets or that there are/were Mags in this world.

Federal Housing Day – In addition to our state housing day at the General Assembly, VHA conducts an annual federal housing day where we organize a group of advocates from around the state on a trip up to Washington DC to talk with the Virginia Congressional Delegation about our major federal policy priorities. Similar to state housing day, we develop a host of materials to share with staffers. This year we shared stressed our concerns with how the 2018 budget proposals would impact housing, and presented staff and members with Congressional District Housing Profiles in addition to LIHTC district sheets that include the economic impact of the program. This year, we teamed up with the Virginia Association of Housing and Community Development Officials (VAHCDO) for the first time and had over 50 Virginia advocates attend meetings!
Click here for materials from 2017 Federal Housing Day.
VHA's Housing Credit Campaign – The Housing Credit or Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC), is currently the major engine for the production of new and rehabbed affordable rental housing units in the state and nationwide. Even though the program has a proven track record, helping preserve more than 2.6 million affordable rental homes nationwide in its history while maintaining a less than 1% foreclosure rate, the program still faces threats in Congress. The Housing Credit is virtually the only source of capital to address the widening gap between the number of affordable apartments and the low-income renters in need of housing. The Virginia Housing Alliance takes a leading role in defending and preserving the credit in the state as well as providing critical professional training through its annual Housing Credit Conference.

I can't remember the last time I had as much fun reading a book as I did reading Badass — A Relentless Onslaught of the Toughest Warlords, Vikings, Samurai, Pirates, Gunfighters, and Military Commanders to Ever Live (Harper Paperbacks, 2009). Not fun in the same sense as a book with a rollicking good plot or edge-of-the-seat story; I mean fun as in pick the book up, read ten minutes and laugh at least once or twice.
The book is a collection of short 2 – 5 page essays on forty of "the most ball-crushingly awesome historical figures to ever strap on a pair of chainmail gauntlets and punch a Yeti in the face. From Julius Caesar and Vlad the Impaler to Horatio Nelson and George S. Patton, this relentless onslaught of badassitude is guaranteed to get you so pumped up that you will want to quit your crappy job, smash your office desk into splinters with your forehead and start a new career as a professional face-wrecker." These aren't just men being profiled either, there are plenty of women here too. The book was born from Seattle author Ben Thompson's website, Badass of the Week, where similar profiles, if with a bit more colorful language, are delivered every week.
If it sounds like history for the Maxim Magazine crowd, or for 14 year-old World of Warcraft players, that's fairly accurate. I'd still urge you to give it a chance, provided you have any interest in history and you have a sense of humor. Reading at night, I interrupted my wife's sleep more than once with my giggles, and often she shared my mirth when I'd read aloud what had made me snicker. Usually it was over a particularly hyperbolic description of a subject's deeds, or even the blending of modern culture with episodes of historic significance. For example, in a sidebar to the chapter on William the Conqueror:
Many modern gangs such as the Crips and Bloods owe a lot to the Normans, who were the first group to hold their bows sideways just because it looked cooler. I think that's why they developed the crossbow. Many years later the bow has been replaced by the gat, but the premise basically remains the same.
The book is divided in four sections: Antiquity, The Middle Ages, The Age of Gunpowder, and The Modern Era. There are sections on weapons too, as well as badass mythical beasts. Thompson's descriptions of some of the various battles that the subjects of the book participated in are interesting because we see the evolution of warfare. The brief descriptions are also a gas to read. In the chapter about Frankish hero Charles "The Hammer" Martel, we learn this about the defense of the city of Tours that Martel staged against the Moorish armies:
Now, the strength of the Muslim army was the Moorish heavy cavalry, a crotch-thumping unit of superpumped-up mounted warriors with great stats who had been trampling the crap out of the Christian knights in Spain and bringing pain and suffering to anybody misguided enough to face them. Nobody had yet been able to stand up to these fearsome warriors without having their gallbladders utterly flattened, but Charles Martel had a plan. He positioned large masses of heavy infantry along the forest at the top of a large hill, forcing the enemy to fight on terrain that favored the Frankish men-at-arms. He had his spearmen form up into defensive squares to protect themselves from being outflanked and lock their shields to create an unbreakable wall of unforgiving steel. The Moors went lance-first into these formations several times but were unable to smash their way through this unyielding hedge of armor and spears. Once the army was worn down, Martel himself, uttering his battle cry of "Stop — Hammer Time!" led the decisive charge that shattered the Muslim army and left their commander coughing up his own prostate. The Saracens fled the field, leaving behind their plundered loot and prisoners.
It's not all silliness, though. In an interview with the Seattle Times, author Ben Thompson, whose own bio is couched in Dungeons and Dragons-like statistics (though he actually graduated cum laude from the honors program at Florida State University with degrees in history and political science), was asked how closely he stuck to actual historic events when compiling these stories, and how heavily he relied on Wikipedia. Thompson responded:
"No, I did not use Wikipedia. I didn't put anything down that I couldn't find two or three corroborating sources, and I have about 350 books in my bibliography at the end. So it's all the real deal."
There are fascinating tidbits of historical fact scattered throughout, especially concerning little-known historic figures, like Peter Francisco, the 6'6″, 300# giant who fought in the American Revolution (often with a broadsword given to him by George Washington). Or Wolf the Quarrelsome, brother of legendary Irish High King Brian Boru, who "rocks, because he only appears in history twice, and both times he's kicking ass." I was particularly interested in 1870s-era lawman Bass Reeves, a former slave-turned-badass, who spent his career in the rough-and-tumble Indian Territory, home of present-day Oklahoma.
In thirty years of service, Bass Reeves arrested more than three thousand fugitives — including one trip to Commanche country where he single-handedly captured and brought in seventeen prisoners.
Not only that, but Reeves was never shot once in a career that saw him kill fourteen men in gunfights and wound dozens more.
Each chapter has a sidebar that details other nuggets of information about the time the subject lived in, or other elements relevant to the period. In the sidebar at the end of the chapter about American World War I hero Henry Lincoln Johnson, we learn:
Archduke Franz Ferdinand hated the sight of creases or wrinkles, so any time he appeared in public he demanded to be sewn into his suit. Unfortunately, this ended up being his downfall — after he was shot by a Serbian assassin in Sarajevo, he was unable to receive prompt medical attention because the medics couldn't get his jacket off without cutting the entire suit apart.
Other sidebars are a little less serious. Following the chapter about the woman pirate Anne Bonny, who terrorized the Caribbean as part of a crew that later took on a second woman, Mary Read, despite women being considered "bad luck" on pirate ships, Thompson notes the following:
Some historians think that Anne Bonny and Mary Read were lesbian lovers and not just friends and comrades-in-arms. These people need to stop watching so much porn.
If all this sounds maybe a little juvenile, that's because it pretty much is. That doesn't make it any less awesome, though. Inappropriate gas passing is juvenile too, but it's still goddamn funny. The chapters all get a little similar in the outlandish descriptions, but when read a few at a time they are a lot of fun. I read a few excerpts to my 16 year-old son, and I actually caught him reading bits of it on his own. The portraits accompanying each chapter are suitably badass too. The extensive bibliography at the end is a treasure trove of books for further study, if one is so inclined, which I find more than justifies the price of the book.
This is an excellent book to have on hand to just pick up and flip through, as well as get a good chuckle now and then. It had to have been a blast to write. I bought a copy to give to the local women's boutique clothing store that my wife does business with. I figure the little side table next to the "man chair," where beleaguered husbands and boyfriends wait while their women browse through rack after rack of clothes, is a perfect spot for this book. I know more than once it saved my good humor at the end of an otherwise tedious day.

Your physical appearance can drastically be changed depending on your smile and how you present yourself. That means that your smile is incredibly important in social settings, whether it be at work or during your personal time. However, if you are unhappy with your smile due to improper oral health, then it may be hard to leave the lasting impression that you truly want. That is why it's incredibly important that you keep up with your oral health, in order to make sure that you give your teeth the best chance to be healthy. Here are some dental care tips to consider, in order to keep everything clean and looking great.
Clean Your Teeth Each Meal
There are some people who believe that brushing their teeth just once a day is enough to keep them completely clean. However, this is not an appropriate way of going about your oral health. Instead, if you let food and bacteria sit around in your mouth after a meal, then you are looking at the possibility of developing tarter buildup and plaque. You can avoid this by simply taking care of your teeth after every meal. Ideally, you should be brushing after each meal. However, if you cannot get to a sink to brush, then you can use floss to clean between teeth or even a dentist recommended gum that will freshen your mouth. There are plenty of ways to keep your mouth clean, even if you can't brush. But in any case, you should be sure to clean your teeth after each meal.
Don't Undervalue The Important Of Flossing
As mentioned in the preceding paragraph, flossing can be a lifesaver when you can't brush. However, even if you brush every night, which you should be, you should still be flossing too. The truth is that your toothbrush likely doesn't have the reach or flexibility to reach deep down into the crevasses between each of your teeth. However, flossing will help get between teeth and break up even the smallest of food particles. Be sure that you floss at least once a day, if not occasionally through the day after meals.
Avoid Overusing Mouthwash
If you are in a hurry, using mouthwash can be a great way to get a fresh-breath feeling. However, mouthwash may not be helping you as much as you think. Instead, mouthwash typically just swishes things around in your mouth, instead of actually cleansing your teeth. Using mouthwash with brushing and flossing is fine. But don't rely solely on the mouthwash.
Have The Proper Tools and Equipment
Lastly, be sure to keep an eye on the equipment and tools that you are using for your oral care. If your toothbrush has bristles that are going every which way because it's been a few months since you replaced it, it's time to make a change. And you also want to avoid floss that isn't very strong, as it won't allow you to fully break up the particles in-between your teeth. If you are going to put in the time and effort into maintaining your oral health, make sure you are doing so with the right equipment.
If you follow these tips, you can greatly increase the overall quality of your oral health. And the best part is, you can start today.

Enquiring minds want to know: Was a full-on brawl last Friday between the notoriously pesky Jazz Bear and a passionately misguided Cleveland Cavaliers fan legitimate or staged?
The heated, life-like altercation took place midway through Utah's 121-99 trouncing of the downtrodden Cavaliers. And the melee which involved two Jazz-leaning security guards, and saw the very hairy bear top off his performance with a "Karate Kid"-style flourish has drawn more than a few eyes and questioning, "Wait, was that actually real?" glances on the fool-proof internet.
So, was it real?
"Fake," a Jazz spokesman said Tuesday.
Oh, that crazy bear!

Bill Gates Essay, Research Paper
This is a report intended to find the truth about William Gates, III. I have searched through many sources and found much contradicting evidence. Specifically, sources completely glorify him or completely put him down. From those sources I have compiled this report; this report puts together fact, possibilities, probabilities, and the result is what is most likely fact and a little of my own opinion.
Bill Gates was born on October 28, 1955 to Mary and William Gates, II. His father was an attorney in Seattle, WA and his mother was a teacher. He attended the elite Lakeside private school, where he first got to a computer. His first program was a tic-tac-toe game, which he made on a mainframe that the school bought after a fund-raiser. He and his friend, Paul Allen, were always busy clanking away at the machine whenever they could get a chance. When they were older, they paid up to $40 an hour to use a terminal at computer companies, much like today's "cyber caf s."
Bill was accepted into Harvard University in Fall, 1973. He slacked off a bit, always trying to get the highest grades by putting in the least amount of time. In his second year, he dropped out of college and started Microsoft with Paul.
During college, Bill and Paul were always looking out for new opportunities. When Intel produced a new microprocessor in 1974, named the 8008, they wasted no time in learning to program the new chip. After much review, they decided that the chip could not go much further than mathematical calculations because of its lack of power. So, instead of just ignoring it, they used it. They used it in a machine that counted the cars that went by. Their first company was named Traf-o-Data . Traf-O-Data did not prove profitable. He suspects that it was because it was just a couple of teenagers trying to sell a box. People were interested, but did not buy.
A new chip came out about a year later, the 8080. It contained about 2,700 more transistors, and its successor, the 8088, was used in the first PCs (personal computers) made. The pair instantly recognized that if chips could be so small and more powerful than a room full of computer a decade before, computers would soon become even smaller and yet more powerful. Other companies didn t see it this way. But Bill was right. Now, practically all computers use a microprocessors.
When Bill dropped out of college, he did so to start a company that eventually became known as Microsoft. It started in Albuquerque, NM in 1975. It was located near the manufacturer of a new computer kit, called the Altair 8800. It was basically the first inexpensive "computer kit" sold to the public.
One of the first programs they created was Altair BASIC. This is a program that allows other people to more easily program the Altair. In 1978, a man named Kazuhiko Nishi called Bill. He read about Microsoft and was interested in its software. A few months later, he went to Microsoft where the two made a deal. Nishi paid $150M mainly for exclusive rights to license MS-BASIC in Asia. They remained business partners for 8 years, providing Microsoft with a link to Japan.
In 1979, Microsoft moved to Redmond, WA where it is today. By this time, Microsoft had grown in popularity. It got too many demands for products. So, Bill turned to his college buddy and roommate Steve Ballmer for help. Back then, Microsoft had about 30 employees. Steve wanted to add 50 more people to the company. Bill was against the idea because other companies have gone under that way, but Steve convinced him. He was to add people until Bill told him to stop, but until this day, he hasn t gotten the stop signal.
In order for Microsoft to get to the top, they had to have a very good business strategy. Their strategy is to sell software at low prices, until people are hooked. Then, slowly, raise them up. If a competitor comes along, they just drop their prices and bring them back up when the competitor is gone. That strategy is what made Microsoft the biggest software company in the world.
In the early 1980 s, IBM was having trouble finding an operating system to go on their new computer, which used the new 8088 microprocessor. Bill, of course, said he would be happy to make them one. However, he didn't quite make an operating system, he bought Q-DOS from Seattle Computer Products for $75,000, hired their leading engineer on the project (Tim Patterson), improved it a little, and licensed it to IBM for tons of money. So, on the contrary to public opinion, he did not write MS-DOS, he bought it, changed it slightly, and put his name on it.
When IBM released their new computer, they offered three OS choices, Pascal, CP/M, and MS-DOS costing $450, $175, and $60, respectively. This was another example of Microsoft s sell cheaply in high volumes policy. The MS-DOS computer was a great success, and many people started writing software for it, making MS-DOS even more popular.
As time went on, MS-DOS wasn t good enough. People were looking for colors, graphics, and more user-friendly interfaces, which they found in primitive systems made by Xerox. Apple, much like IBM, was in the process of making a new computer which was released in 1984. They wanted Microsoft to make them an OS. Bill, again, quickly agreed. With the help of Apple, he and his development team wrote the Macintosh OS. But around the same time the new Apple Macintosh was released, Microsoft released Windows. Windows was very similar to Macintosh; both had GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces). Apple sued them because of their similarity (copyright infringement), but did not win because the actual code (the program's instructions) appeared very different than those of Apple.
In 1984, IBM wanted a GUI and again called Microsoft, having been satisfied with MS-DOS. So, Microsoft and IBM teamed up and attempted to make an OS called OS/2. However, IBM wanted to make it more like a mainframe OS than a personal computer OS. This would make it more complex and not as good, but it would be compatible with stone-aged machinery. In 1987, IBM released its new computer, the PS/2, which ran an early version of OS/2.
Among its flaws were incompatibility with Windows software and a new microchannel bus. The new bus was not compatible with the thousands of add-on cards available. People liked their old software and peripherals and would not switch. IBM s PS/2 was a failure. IBM still continued to improve OS/2 and make OfficeVision, a suite of useful programs for businesses. Since IBM kept refusing to make it Windows compatible (which was a mistake), Microsoft dropped out (1992). The main reason was that because it wasn t Windows compatible, he wouldn t be able to make additional money by writing software for it. Without compatibility, it just wouldn t last.
A few years ago, IBM pulled their non-compatible product off the market. OfficeVision was never made. They spent an estimated $2B on OS/2 and OS/2 software.
On January 1st, 1994, Bill married Melinda French, a Product Manager at Microsoft. Two and a quarter years later, they had a baby. It was a girl, and they named her Jennifer Katherine. Currently, Melinda is pregnant again.
In September of 1995, a new operating system was released. It was called Windows 95 . It is currently the most popular operating system, but will soon be replaced by Windows 98, and then Windows 2000. Win95 had several new features, including multitasking . Multitasking is the feature which allows more than one application to be loaded at one time, making computing easier and more efficient. Other features of interest are OLE (Object Linking and Imbedding (now known as Active X)), which allows different programs to communicate with each other, and threads, which are like little programs inside big ones.
At this point, Bill got a new idea. If he could get people to use his Internet tools, he could control most of the Internet. So, he made Microsoft an Internet Service Provider (ISP). He called his new service Microsoft Network (MSN) and incorporated it into Win95. MSN now has about 6 million subscribers, most paying him $20 a month (about a billion dollars a year!). He also made a web browser, called Internet Explorer , and incorporated it into newer versions of Win95 so it would automatically be put onto your system. He did this for free (remember his system : low prices to get you hooked and then raise them). His Internet Explorer became #1. Currently, his only other competition is Netscape Navigator.
The Department of Justice is suing him over this. They are saying he is smothering his competition and not giving users a choice in which browser they use. Windows 98 will incorporate Internet Explorer as well. The DOJ wants them to include Netscape Navigator (his competition). However, it has been shipped to stores as is. The DOJ will probably not be able to stop them. The DOJ doesn t have a case; just because he makes good software and sells it in bundles does not mean he is doing something illegal (maybe unethical… not illegal). He has always been smarter than other companies (i.e. Seattle Computer Products, Apple, IBM, etc.), but has not done anything against the law.
Internet Explorer 5 currently has the most useful features and is easy to use. Netscape has few features and doesn t enhance Windows like IE does. As long as Bill is not making any money off of Internet Explorer (he gives it away), the DOJ will not win in a court of law. (Bill would buy the DOJ before they ever got the chance!
As for the future, Bill will make most of his money on the Internet. MSN is the second largest ISP (America Online is the largest.), and Internet Explorer or some other Microsoft web browser will be used by most. He will work to make everything computerized: televisions, telephones, lights, even the way you cook dinner… and supply the software to run on these computerized appliances. This will be a good thing for everyone, especially Bill. Everything will be interconnected on an information superhighway, which, in majority, he will build. This will all come to reality within a decade.
In short, Bill went from an upper middle-class family to the richest man in the world; who owns the biggest software company in the world, Microsoft. Microsoft and Bill have not yet reached their peak, but someday, they will (maybe?!).

Some cards come together so easily and others take an hour or more! This Valentine card came together pretty quickly. I used a card base made by DCWV and rounded the edges of the card with the 1/4″ side of my Crop-O-Dile Corner Chomper. I also rounded the corners of the shimmery light green cardstock I mounted the tag to. The tag is from a set of dimensional stickers from the K & Company Poppy Seed collection. I added some of my own ribbon to the tag and used double-sided foamy tape to make the tag pop out. I finished the card with a glittery heart chipboard shape I got in a grab bag.
I love to pop embellishments off the page.
Thanks for reading my blog!Pin It

Statement of Alderman Joe Davis, Sr.
It is extremely disconcerting that in neighborhoods where homeowners are struggling to keep their property values up, where neighborhood block
watches are in place, and where schools and neighbors work together to keep an eye on student behavior, we are seeing regular acts of lawlessness. In all honesty, how do these neighborhoods recommit to stabilizing themselves for the next generation of homeowners?
Unfortunately, some areas in the City of Milwaukee are out of control and there is no substance for a solution from the Mayor. In the area where the
homicide occurred yesterday in the 2nd District (near N. 68th and Fiebrantz), residents are feeling empty. They say: "I cut my grass, I pay my taxes, I participate in neighborhood meetings, and this is what I get?" My constituents in this area have borne the brunt of the negative statistics that surround the declining quality of life in Milwaukee. Black-on-black crime seems to be ignored, and I truly think we are becoming desensitized by the rampant escalation of recent incidents, which
causes us to lose focus on the real possible culprit – a true lack of LEADERSHIP by our CEO!
I argue that because we have not seriously addressed our negative poverty statistics for many years (which have turned Milwaukee neighborhoods into
the OK Corral), we blame irrelevant entities for our systemic problems. Well now the chickens have come home to roost.
Let's get real, how long will we stick our heads in the sand and pretend that we have a plan to address this staggering economic crisis?

Jen & Scott | Washington, DC intimate wedding | Brasserie Beck | Le Grenier
Jen and Scott were married at the lovely, serene Montrose Park in Georgetown (which I would love to link for you but cannot, due to the government shutdown! No, really!), surrounded by their very nearest and dearest. I'm a big fan of the two-parter wedding, whereby you exchange vows in presence of just a few, then invite everybody on out later for lots of drinks and food and good cheer. I wasn't around for everything, but they also had a bunch of further wedding events so that their friends and family could mingle and they could actually see their loved ones who came in from all over. I hear it was a good time. Jen and Scott: We started the day at the Willard. Jen's room was full of ladies laughing and chatting and well-wishing. I was very lucky to have the talented Ayesha with us to offer a second perspective on the day. Did I ever tell you about the time I forgot my rolling camera bag with something like $10k worth of gear inside just sitting in that little courtyard across from the Willard? Yeah, that happened. We did first look and a handful of portraits and then got in a cab to head to Montrose Park for their reception. As we're getting out, I realize I completely forgot my camera bag with all my other gear. A true testament to how cool Jen and Scott are, they sat patiently - waiting to go to their own ceremony - while I called the bellhop guys at the Willard, who retrieved my bag and who I later tipped every cent I had on me. Fortunately, it was a little bit of a stroll to their ceremony site, so I could let my heart settle back down out of my throat and catch a few photos of Jen and Scott arriving. The one thing I didn't have for this wedding - having forgotten that rolling bag - was my super-long lens. I'm so glad Ayesha had hers - she took some really beautiful close-ups. "Someone say something inappropriate," is a cue I give all the time to get formal groupings laughing and interacting. It's more effective some times vs. others. Fully wedded, we scooted over to Brasserie Beck for a ridiculously tasty brunch. Jen's brother taking liberties with the bar. Jen trying oysters for the first time. Sometimes the cool scene is the hallway to the bathroom. We stopped by Lower Senate Park for a handful more portraits in the new digs, before rolling on to Le Grenier for the big party. Congratulations you guys! Jen and Scott's vendor team: Brunch venue: Brasserie Beck Dinner venue: Le Grenier Ceremony venue: Montrose Park, Georgetown Getting-ready venue: Willard Macarons, in place of wedding cake: The Sweet Lobby Jen's ceremony dress: Anthropologie Jen's reception dress: Kay Unger (w/ Max Mara shoes) Scott's reception suit: Suit Supply

StagnettoAltezza 40cm(1ft 4") Diametro 100cm(3ft 4") Capacita' 150 litri
"No instructions and wood was cut at inaccurate angles, so was difficult to assemble and top has ended up with gaps in it. Metal brackets weren't all there and didn't fit into the grooves made for it."
Recensito lunedì 15 giugno 2015
"This looks very good when constructed especially when the panels are painted with a nice rich fence paint. However, very disappointed about the lack of instructions as you have to finish this off with the pond liner INSIDE the panels, something we found out after we'd completed it! Otherwise I would have rated this excellent."
Recensito domenica 8 settembre 2013
"looks ok when finally put together.parts were poorly put together requiring repair before building, angles are cut poorly making it difficult to get the surround looking good"
Recensito sabato 4 maggio 2013
"Really pleased with product itself but unfortunately there were no assembly instructions. My husband phoned customer services who said they would e mail instructions but so far no response. Fortunately my husband is a competent diy er and was able to figure it out."

"Very pleased with the pond quick delivery. Easy to assemble.
Many thanks."
Recensito sabato 31 dicembre 2011
"The item arrived a day later than expected. I had to contact Customer Services as I was concerned about how damp the wooden surround was and that it was covered in spots of vivid green spores/mould. I was advised that this would brush off once the wood dried out. There were also no instructions on how to build it and the screws/brackets were not in the packaging. Matt in Customer Services has been very helpful and is arranging for fittings to be forwarded onto me from the supplier (the supplier advised that no instructions were available) I am disappointed that I cannot get the pond constructed without the fittings and I am still waiting for the wood to dry out. Apart from all of this, I am very impressed with your website, the choice of items that you stock and your helpful staff. I just hope the fittings arrive soon."

About the Author: John Immel,
The Three Doshas / Body Types
Your body type shows how your strengths, as well as how your body typically goes out of balance. It also shows how your body responds to the environment. Your body type is comprised of certain qualities and affects every part of you - your physical and mental characteristics as well as your personal strengths and weaknesses. This is because your body type is based on how your body uses energy. Ayurveda has 3 body types (doshas), called Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Vata spends energy. Pitta burns energy. Kapha stores energy. Vata people tend to be easily stimulated, hyperactive, underweight and dry. Pitta people tend to be hot, focused, driven, and easily inflamed. Kapha people are heavy, stable and grounded, but if they store too much energy, they could gain weight easily and have congestion.
SATTVICSattvic foods promote awareness and a refreshed mind by nourishing the body without taxing digestion. Sattvic foods do not stimulate desire or nervous energy. They create clarity instead of drowsiness or heaviness.
ALKALIZINGAn herb or food that makes the urine more alkaline (higher pH). This herbal action can be helpful for a number of inflammatory conditions.
TYPE Spices
EARTHResembles earth (prithvi) in quality - heavy, dense, solid, stable, hard.
COLOR Brown
DIGESTIVEHerbs that encourage healthy digestive.
Spleen Tonic
SPLEEN-TONICAn herb that strengthens spleen function by improving strength of the blood. Spleen tonics Builds agni, brighten the person's appearances & firms up tissues.

John also directs Joyful Belly's School of Ayurveda , which specializes in digestive tract pathology & Ayurvedic nutrition.

John's interest in Ayurveda and digestive tract pathology was inspired by a complex digestive disorder acquired from years of international travel, including his public service work in South Asia. John's commitment to the detailed study of digestive disorders reflects his zeal to get down to the roots of the problem. His hope and belief in the capacity of each & every client to improve their quality of life is nothing short of a personal passion.

John enjoys sharing Ayurveda within the context of his Catholic roots, and finds Ayurveda gives him an opportunity to participate in the healing mission of the Church. Jesus expressed God's love by feeding and healing the sick. That kindness is the fundamental ministry of Ayurveda as well.

What a week! Two unexpected posts, the unexpected delivery of a book, the final confirmation of a business trip, more sleep than planned, temperatures around 20 degrees Celsius which I prefer, the descending numbers of pages I read and still no real schedule. As you can see a really mixed bag of things. Nevertheless I hope I found some interesting topics for you. To be honest it is exhausting to concentrate on things when this book is waiting for you .....

The Lighthouse
What shall I say? Life is like what we call in Germany a Wundertüte (you may know this as a lucky bag or grab bag). You don't know what to expect. There have been some surprises last week.
Due to my business trip to UK from Monday to Wednesday I will not have time to work on my blog. But I hope to spend more time for reading (airport,plane, train, hotel). I will tell you next end of next week.
My reading progress is like a roller coaster ride. Since a few weeks I'm on the way down. I still wait for the next steep ascent. In sum I read 266 pages in four different books. I'm happy that I found time to finish Redheart by Jackie Gamber. An unexpected YA book with a fresh and vivid story starring dragons and humans.
- 409 pages in A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin.
I'm thinking about to postpone it ......
- 229 pages in The River of Shadows by Robert V.S. Redick
This is the first book which will accompany on my business trip next week.
- 178 pages in The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch
This is the second book which will accompany on my business trip next week.
- 30 pages in A Dance with Dragons by George R.R. Martin.
No comment about the content until July 12th.
As I mentioned I will be on a business trip to UK next week (Monday to Wednesday)
and I finally decided to leave the book home due to the weight.
Last week I wrote about 2011 half time report. I don't want to bore you with details why it is still not online. There are some details I can tell you so far.
I read 33 books until the end of June 2011. Ten of them belong to the steampunk genre. And I really read one book in German after a long, long time!
However I will not promise you anything because I neither like to disappoint you nor myself.
It is no pleasure when you fall asleep instead of reading and writing. I'm happy about every page I read and every post I write. From January to June I delivered 50 posts. On the one hand less than I wanted and on the other hand more than I expected. I look forward to the second half of 2011, my birthday and my next days off ...
Enjoy your weekend ....
Dear readers, I'm the one to tell you about books - only books? What about novellas and other stuff? My name is Bona. I scour shelves, shops and the net for books. If you call me a book whore I would not gainsay you. But be aware I have my own, sometimes elusive taste.
It is delivery report time! After last week doldrums the post man had to ring the bell four times this week. Two of the books delivered I bought on my own and the other two have been sent by Tor/Forge.com which deserve a big thank you.
Let me start with the Tor/Forge.com books. Both contain short stories.
When you follow my blog regularly you know that urban fantasy does not belong to my favorite genres. With the delivery of Chick Kicks Butt (pb, 2011) [ISBN-13: 978-0765325778] edited by Rachel Caine and Kerrie L. Hughes, I get the opportunity to discover several urban fantasy authors. It is easier to skip a short story than a book in case I don't like it.
"Chicks are awesome—and never more so than when they are kicking some serious vampire/werewolf/demon/monster butt.
Chicks Kick Butt is an anthology that features one of the best things about the urban fantasy genre: strong, independent, and intelligent heroines who are quite capable of solving their own problems and slaying their own dragons (or demons, as the case may be).
Edited by Kerrie Hughes and Rachel Caine, Chicks Kick Butt features original stories from thirteen authors, eleven of whom are New York Times bestsellers:
Rachel Caine (with a story from her bestselling Weather Wardens universe), L.A. Banks, Rachel Vincent, Karen Chance, Lilith Saintcrow, Cheyenne McCray, Susan Krinard, Jeanne Stein, Jenna Black, Susan Krinard, Jeanne Stein, Jenna Black, Elizabeth Vaughan, Carole Nelson Douglas, P.N. Elrod, Nancy Holder" [Source]
The next book looks quite interesting. Read the blurb of NEBULA Awards Showcase 2011 (pb, 2011) [ISBN-13: 978-0765328427] edited by Kevin J.Anderson for more information.
"With this inaugural volume at Tor, the annual Nebula Award collection is reborn as a fiction-only anthology. This collection of nominees for 2010's Nebula Awards includes all of the prior year's most celebrated stories, and will be published in time for the 2011 Nebula Awards in May, 2011.I'm eager to read The Women of Nell Gwynne's by Kage Baker.
2009's award winners, announced in May 2010, include Kage Baker's novella "The Women of Nell Gwynne's," Eugie Foster's novelette "Sinner, Baker, Fabulist, Priest; Red Mask, Black Mask, Gentleman, Beast," Kij Johnson's short story "Spar," plus Paolo Bacigalupi's novelette, "The Gambler." " [Source]
Of course I will have a look at the other stories.
What do you think about this kind of anthology? Is it a book you have been waiting for?
The next one is the seventh book in a series which has nothing in common with sff - except for me it is a view into future. The older I get the more I think how life will be when I'm 70+. Since I started to read the Gladdy Gold series I wish I will be as spry and funny as Gladdy Gold and her friends. And this is the latest Gladdy Gold adventure: Getting Old Can Kill You (pb, July 2011) [ISBN-13: 978-0440245605] by Rita Lakin.
"Life isn't all sunny in Fort Lauderdale's Lanai Gardens. Returning from a blissful double honeymoon with her sister Evvie, Gladdy Gold announces that she wants her new hubby, Jack, to join her detective agency. But Gladdy's gals say no dice, and soon Ida, Sophie, and Bella are striking out on their own, enrolling in a class to learn how to be real PIs.
But there's more than enough trouble for two detective agencies when sultry Joyce Steiner moves in, reopening an old rivalry with Arlene Simon, whose husband ran off with Joyce fifty-five years earlier. When Joyce is found murdered, Arlene becomes the prime suspect, and Gladdy and her girls will have to band together if they're going to prove that the truth is not just elusive but a real killer." [Source]
I think it is not necessary to post more than the cover of the fourth book I received this week:
I like to read about time travel. Therefore I have been pleased when I got the request if I would like to read and review by Thomas Mullen. I know I'm behind with my reviews. But when I promise a review I do not fail in98%.
"Would you kill to make the world a peaceful place?
Zed is an agent from the future. A place where all of the world's problems have been solved. No hunger. No war. No despair.
His mission is to keep that way. Even if it means ensuring every cataclysm throughout history runs its course, especially one just on the horizon.
Zed's mission will ensnare the lives of a disgraced former spy named Leo; a young lawyer, Tasha, grieving over the loss of her brother; Sari, the oppressed employee of a foreign diplomat; and countless others. But will he finish his final mission before the present takes precedence over a perfect future? One that may have more cracks than he realizes?
The Revisionists is a literary tale of action and intrigue that puts a fresh spin on today's global crises, asking questions about the nature of history and the future, and our own roles in shaping them." [Source]
No more today, see you next week ......
Hey, I'm Bona Fide. I just came back from my last foray through the blogosphere. What can you expect from me? I tell you: Everything from Art to Fart as long as there is any faint connection to books. And here is some honey from the beehive blogosphere...
When do you read book reviews? This week I found a superb post which I must share with you. It is about philosophy. Don't worry it is far beyond to be dry and boring stuff.
over at Dark Roasted Blend. You won't regret.
Last week I posted again about the debut novel of author Daniel Polansky.
Doubleday will publish the book in US and Canada on August 16, 201. Title: LOW TOWN and Hodder & Stoughton will publish the book in UK and Commonwealth on August 18, 2011. Title: THE STRAIGHT RAZOR CURE.
Now you can read a first review of LOW TOWN over at Mad Hatter's Bookshelf & Book Review .
Most readers share one problem: SPACE.
But there is a man who does not have any problem to store his collection of 4500 books.
Read about Jozsef Tari and his extraordinary book collection.
That's it for today. Come back next week for more ......
Hey, it's me Fide. I'm a remote control professional. I'm that fast that I can watch two movies at the same time.
But don't worry. All the stuff I present to you will be shown at normal speed.
I like Gringotts. You don't know the famous bank founded by the goblin Gringott? If you would like to get more information about Gringotts and his employees then I recommend to watch the following video.
Do you know the British science fiction series Torchwood? Now the fourth mini series is ahead:
Torchwood Miracle Day.
I wanted to show an eleven minute preview video but it is not available in German - really, really disappointing!! In case you live in US then follow this link to watch the preview. All other people including me have to take potluck with the UK launch trailer ....
That's all for today. See you next time....
I 'm the Keeper of the minutes. But I don't mind when you call me Kotm. No, no. I don't explain to you how to pronounce.
I Like quotes. And I like that there is a wide range of topics and emotions. Week by week I try to find a few worth to share with you. I'm sure that from time to time you read the same quote again and again. The reason for that is the I don't have a file where I store all these quotes. Most of the time the topic of the quotes I share with you depend on my mood. And today it is a pure salmagundi which is an oxymoron. I'm getting bubbly .... Read, think and have fun with the words I found ...
A busy man complained one day:
"I get no time!" "What's that you say?"
Cried out his friend, a lazy quiz;
"You have, sir, all the time there is.
There's plenty, too, and don't you doubt it --
We're never for an hour without it."

Hi I'm Brad. Looking for accommodation in the Macquarie Park area. I work full-time in the city so I'm looking for a place close to the train station. I work pretty hard throughout the week but enjoy socialising on the weekends. I'm clean and tidy (own a house so I understand the importance of this) pretty quiet. More than willing to share any house work and have no problem with giving people their own space. Looking forward to finding my new place!

Parents of currently enrolled children were informed about the impending change on Oct 17, 2013 (or 4 working days before the council vote). Parents' input was not solicited throughout the selection process, even though the proposed change in management will most certainly mean:
1) loss of quality childcare covering 0-2 years -- Community Gatepath plans to cover years 2-5),
2) loss of the only NAEYC accredited child care program in the area -- Community Gatepath's only daycare center in Belmont is not accredited,
3) a blended 20% special needs and 80% healthy developing classroom approach,
3) letting go of current teachers because most lack special needs teaching credentials.
The current change in proposal and its timeline will have deleterious effects on the well-being of the currently enrolled children. As a start, infant and toddler care is not guaranteed. Given long wait lists in area day care centers that are NAEYC accredited, currently enrolled children most certainly not be able to find a new spot. Given these circumstances, we urge the management of CCLC and the City of Mountain View to return to the negotiating table and work out their differences for the sake of the children and try to find a compromise to ensure that high quality care remains consistently available.

I heard a commercial on the radio today that made me think about spin. No, I'm not talking about the magazine, or the setting on your washer, but the kind used for public relations.
One of the best movies I've seen on spin is Thank You For Smoking. If you haven't see it, or read the book, it's fantastic. In short, it's about a guy who works as a spin doctor for Big Tobacco, and how he's trying to build a better relationship with his son, while going up against a senator who's deeply against cigarettes.
Here's one of my favorite examples of how he spins things in his favor.
The next line in the movie is fantastic, and I wish they'd included it. Senator Finisterre says "The great state of Vermont will not apologize for its cheese."
But in the end, it's a spin of sorts. You don't have to win, you just have to make the other person look wrong. Here's another scene from the movie.
I find spin fascinating. It's everywhere, Bill Clinton saying he didn't have sexual relations with that woman, the IRS saying mistakes were made when they're talking about the scandal of targeting conservative groups, and anyone who goes "If I have offended you, I apologize."
Spin can come in other forms though, and that's actually what I'm going for. Kaiser Permanente is doing radio ads in Portland. And while I can't find a clip of exact ad, I did manage to find a pdf of Kaiser's website that had the partial text of the radio ad, so here it is.
At Kaiser Permanente, out hiring process is so selective typically only one in ten doctors who apply make the cut. Which means you get great doctors to choose from.
That ad makes it sound awesome, doesn't it? They're only going to hire 10% of the doctors, ensuring you get the best medical care possible.
Except, when you think about it, is it truly that great? That means for every position open, only 10 people apply. Now, if that's for something specialized, like a specific sort of cancer doctor, then I see how that could be a big deal.
But a general practitioner? Only 10 doctors apply for that position? I know that there aren't a huge number of doctors looking for work out there, and even fresh, new doctors often have a specific area of expertise, but you'd think there would be more.
I have never been to a Kaiser facility, so I don't know how good their medical care is. I know that most people I've talked to who have been don't speak highly of it, but I don't have any first hand experience with them.
I do however, think it's interesting that Kaiser employs spin of it's own kind to brighten it's image.
Have any examples of spin you'd like to share?

- A loving father arranged a 'wedding ceremony' for his one-year-old dughter
- The girl had a brain tumour and was given just two days to live
- The toddler died at home two months after the ceremony
Poppy-Mai Barnard was born with a very rare and fast growing type of cancer in Thetford, Norfolk, England.
Shortly after birth the baby refused to eat food and experienced constipation -- doctors attributed it to teething.
READ ALSO: Sad! Teen boy trapped in body of 100-year-old man dies (photos)
With time her codition deteriorated she started vomiting and was off balance that's why it was decided to put her in hospital.
There, medics dicovered a cancerous mass in her stomach, kindey and speckles were detected in her lungs.
Despite a distressing diagnosis Poppy's parents didn't lose hope and started chemotherapy but after scans revealed one more inoperable tumour in her brain it became clear -- the girl wouldn't survive.
READ ALSO: This Muslim boy born with werewolf syndrome revered as God (photos)
Heartbroken parents, mother Sammi Barnard and father Andy Barnard, decided to stop the treatment and turn the last days of their daughter into a fairytale.
They took her home to her brothers and arranged a "wedding ceremony" as her dad had promised her a big wedding when she grew older.
Days on they were delighted when her condition improved, allowing them to create more precious memories together.
The one-year-old was well enough to go for walks, visit family and friends. But their happiness didn't last long, today, on May 4. little Poppy passed away in her father's arms.

Poppy's mom Sammi wrote on her Facebook page: "Today I watched our beautiful baby grow her angel wings, as much as it hurt me to know I will never watch my baby grow, laugh, smile again, she is at peace now, no more pain and suffering. She fought the biggest battle and gave us a lifetime of happy memories in her short life which will stay with me for forever."
Sami and Andy shared their daughter's story on social media to raise awareness and save other lives and more than 30,000 people responded.
Now, they are determined to raise enough money to build a retreat in Poppy-Mai's memory to help other families with sick children.

Not blindingly, mirror-shatteringly ugly, not fat, or covered in acne (I have really good skin, actually) but you know, I shaved my hair for cancer and I look like I'm from the fifties with my current hair-cut. Plus, my face just isn't all that attractive.
Most Helpful Guy
Being a teenager is supposed to suck. In fact, the more it sucks the better later on. Trust me, the people who loved being a teenager are going to fall WAY behind in life. The trick is just getting through it and entering adulthood. When you get there mean are easier to find. But for now, count on it sucking from start to finish. Just study, make a few friends, find a hobby, and plan for the future.
Sorry you had cancer, that clearly adds a few levels to the story.00|00|0
Haha... thanks - made me feel a lot better

A US study has found about one in five tattoo wearers were dissatisfied with their body art, but only about 6 per cent decided to get advice about having it removed. Whether or not they are admitting it out loud, the recently tatted are starting to feel the pangs of regret about putting that Chewbacca on their forearm. They also found that most of those regrettees were women. Cause no matter how classy that rose tit tattoo looks in a halter top, your best friend will be lying to your face when she tells you it looks precious in that wedding gown.
Tatts were reserved for the marginalized class of society your suburban sprawlings were supposed to shelter you from. And then one day, that slutty girl in your government class went and got herself a rose tattoo above her tit. And soon after that the frats were getting their favorite literary characters, Calvin and Hobbes, peeing on rivaling university logos tattoo'd on their calves. And suddenly everyone has a tattoo, not just criminals and white trash.
The greatest tattoo you'll ever see and more witticisms after the jump!
I consider myself totally open-minded (gay babies should be raised by non-married, abortion loving, illegal
aliens – with health care!), but I still think tattoos are retarded. And I know I sound like an Irvine soccer mom when I say this, but pictures don't belong on skin. A torso does not double as a picture frame. There is no quote in the world I can see loving so much that I would get it permanently etched across my back (where I would only see it while undressing in a Nordstrom dressing room). And those personal tattoos, you know the ones people get put on themselves for the world to see only to be told, "it's personal" when you finally ask what the hell that tattoo is supposed to mean – WTF is that?? Getting a tattoo on certain (deviant) regions of your body will limit you to a life of food service.
I'm not the only one staring at your Shakespearian quote tattoo and thinking surely that is in no way making up for the fact that it probably took you several times to pass the GED. I'm not saying all tattoos are stupid and suck-worthy. I'm just saying that I don't get the 99% of those that are.

Uncle Leon
Hello Jack. My family and I would go to Uncle Leon's and visit a few times. I would have met your father then while we were teenagers. Met my "Grandma" Horn at one of the visits, sometime in the mid-late 60's. Also remember Leon used to brew some pretty powerful liquid refreshment back then, a couple of swigs kept the chill off for most of the day. My Dad is Aaron Henry but goes by "Pete". I live in Washington state but the rest of the family lives in the Springdale area. Allen Shigley

Skip to comments.Hotel rates zoom for Democratic National Convention (RATS in Charlotte - 99%ers forgotten)
Posted on 01/07/2012 6:13:39 PM PST by Libloather
Hotel rates zoom for Democratic National Convention
By Celeste Smith
Posted: Tuesday, Dec. 27, 2011
Room rates are going up in a big way at some area hotels during the Democratic National Convention.
The markups - quadruple or more in some cases - don't affect the convention's official attendees. DNC organizers already reserved rooms and locked in rates for 6,000-plus delegates, VIPs and others during the Sept. 3-6 convention.
Among the most expensive spaces: Holiday Inn Express Suites East Matthews, charging $849.15 to $1,014 per night during the stretch of Aug. 31 to Sept. 7 and Aug. 24 to Aug. 31, according to the hotel's reservations website. That compares to $126.65 to $184 the week earlier, Aug. 17 to Aug. 24.
At the Quality Inn at Carowinds Fort Mill, rates start at $699 per night during the week before and the week of the convention, compared to $63.86 in the middle of August.
(Excerpt) Read more at charlotteobserver.com ...
Same thing will happen for the GOP Convention, the Super Bowl, the Kentucky Derby, etc.. It's called capitalism.
Not quite, when it's the democrats, it's called "prostitution"...
Gee : This is starting to sound like a Motorcycle Rally.
Daytona, Sturgis, Myrtle Beach, they all double their rates during a rally, Even the hot dog suppliers raise their rates, and in Daytona the gas stations raise their prices during Bike week.
Is it a rip off? Sure, Supply and Demand allows it.
No room? No problem. Sleep in a tent. Libs seem to just have a thing for camping out in the middle of a big city.
Maybe they are just trying to keep the scummy Dems from staying in Charlotte so they won't wreck the place......The bad part is the toilet is going to overflow and the rats will cross down into SC. I pity the nice border towns like Rock Hill SC such nice little towns....Although they could probably use the revenue.
I don't blame them for running up the rates. We all saw Princess Nancy paying $10,000 per night in Hawaii. Hell, Charlotte might as well see what they can squeeze out of the 'RATS too.
This is because Democrats back charge their credit cards and are also known for suing for no reason. Merchants need to bump the rates to pay for it.
Cedar Posts is an interesting local Charlotte blog for on the ground info about this dysfunctional metro, http://cedarposts.blogspot.com/
Rat loot is American tax payer hard earned money. Isn't capitalism grand
I didn't blame them. That's life.
Sooner or later they will call it price gouging and put a cap on hotel rates for themselves
