Power Compatibility I have just purchased a Konica Minolta Dimage G600 and will be taking it with me to Spain. The manual says the power cord for the battery charger can be used only in the US & Canada. I'm wondering if the issue is really the cord or if I just need to get an adaptor for the plug.
Look on the power supply or the back of the unit. You will most likely see something like "INPUT 100-240VAC 50-60Hz 15-20VA". If so, then all you need is a plug adapter. If not, you'll need a power converter. ... Konica Minolta DiMAGE G600 Digital Camera

Upon moving back I had to make some decisions of where to go to church again, what friends and neighbors to call, what places to eat at and shop. I had to find a way to reconnect. Even though, I of all people can connect easily to anyone, its staying connected that is more of a challenge.
I decided to start back at my home church. I knew it wasn't that big. I had heard that the singles program dissolved many years back. I knew their idea of a contemporary service was six choir members coming out front and taking their robes off. lol. That the greeting ministry needed some updating not to mention other ministries.
Well, I jumped in the best I could without any real commitment. I wanted to just wait and see what God wanted me to do. I quickly joined the greeters. I also rejoined Sunday school. Sunday after Sunday, I would greet. I especially enjoy giving out stickers to the kids again (although most of the ones i remember are all grown now). As each week past I started to notice something, I had reconnected. Kids were looking forward to seeing me to get their sticker and adults were waiting to hear me sing as they walked in, others would give me a sense of peace, knowing they were where God wanted them to be. I would meet new folks, direct them to Sunday school or place beside someone in the pew who would talk to them. Then this past Sunday, I was asked to do a skit off the cuff. Wow, its like the old days. Then last night, I went to a leaders meeting to discuss greeter training for the church. Yes, my church may have some areas of struggle, but the heart is there in the lives of the people there.
The more you get involved, the more you connect. The more you connect, the more you belong. And when you belong, you stay, you serve, you tithe, you commit to do the Lords work, forever.

Habitat for Humanity of Bucks County has learned that it can rely on the support of First Federal of Bucks County.
Bristol, Pa. (PRWEB) June 05, 2014
Since its founding in 1885, First Federal of Bucks County has helped hundreds of people build their dream homes in Bucks County through low-cost mortgages and other affordable home financing services.
On May 17, 2014, though, First Federal of Bucks County took a more hands-on approach to addressing the area's housing needs.
Board members of First Federal of Bucks County, along with members of their families, volunteered with Habitat for Humanity of Bucks County at a wall building event in Warrington. Starting at 8 a.m., they took up hammers, saws, and T-squares and spent five hours constructing wall sections. Those wall sections will become part of a new home built for a Habitat for Humanity family on land in Croydon that the bank donated in November 2013. Like all other Habitat projects, the Croydon project will help provide affordable homes, better lives, stronger families, and safer communities throughout Bucks County.
"First Federal of Bucks County previously has donated money and land to Habitat for Humanity of Bucks County, but events like this allow us to donate our time – and to do so in a way that is very meaningful for our volunteers in a personal way," said Jeane Coyle, President and CEO of First Federal of Bucks County.
The team of First Federal volunteers, many of whom had little or no previous construction experience, used the parking lot at the Bux-Mont Christian Church as a construction area and assembled an impressive 56 wall sections before the day was done.
"It is great to be able to support Habitat for Humanity in any way that we can, but this hands-on work was particularly special," said Robert O. Baldi, First Federal of Bucks County Board Member. "When you're using a hammer to nail together the walls that will provide a home to a family in our community, you can really feel the impact – in more ways than one."
"Habitat for Humanity of Bucks County has learned that it can rely on the support of First Federal of Bucks County," said Executive Director Florence Kawoczka.
"Working with all the community volunteers sponsored by Crossroads Mission and Bux-Mont Christian Church, the First Federal team stepped up to panelize the walls for our upcoming home in Croydon," Kawoczka said. "All of us at Habitat Bucks appreciate the generous support of the entire First Federal organization."
First Federal of Bucks County volunteers will rejoin Habitat Bucks later this year to begin building that home in Croydon.
Since its founding in 1990, Habitat Bucks has built 93 affordable homes in Bucks County. In 2011, the nonprofit launched A Brush with Kindness, providing exterior home repairs for low-income homeowners. Habitat relies on the generosity and commitment of its neighbors and partner families to provide these resources.
About First Federal of Bucks County
Founded in 1885, First Federal of Bucks County, with $706 million in assets, operates 11 offices throughout Bucks County. Because it is a Federally Chartered Mutual Savings Association, the bank is not publicly traded and is "owned" by the Association's customers. The mission of First Federal is to serve businesses and individuals in Bucks County and the surrounding counties – and to be an integral part of the community. For additional information, visit us at http://www.firstfedbucks.com.
About Habitat Bucks
It is the mission of Habitat for Humanity of Bucks County to build affordable homes, better lives, stronger families, and safer, revitalized communities through partnerships with people and organizations throughout Bucks County. Founded on Christian principles, we offer the opportunity for all people regardless of religious or cultural background to make safe, simple, affordable housing a matter of conscience and action.

QUBSI('IIll'TION: '00 PER YEAH.
Saturday, December 11, 1897.
The Populist and Republicans
have combined. Thiz combination
makes a pretty kettle of fish.

convicts up to Baton Rouge on Sat

vention of cotton growers in Mem
phis for December 20th.
The Chicago Chronicle says that
"it may be just as well to say as lit
tle as possible about Southern lynch
ing so long as women are being flog
ged rearly to death by Ohio white
Last week a vessel started for the
Klondyke country with nothing on
board except billiard balls and
whiskey for the starving thousands,
who are now crying for bread and
The national government will not
interfere with the State authorities of
Louisi.na in the levee muddle threat
cned at Algiers, opposite New Or
leans. This was right, and the levee
board of that district will build the
levee as they think best.
The Republican. State Central
Committee met in New Orleans last
week. The Committee was bossed
by Demas, who scalped Kellogg,
Coleman and others. Dusson. the
ntisertble white renegade of Acadia
parish, was there and played second
fiddle to Demns.
The ticket nominated by the Popu
lists at Monroe is fast going to pieces.
Already three of the gentlemen have
refused to allow their names to re
main on the ticket, and have notified
the chairman that they couldn't
stomach such hash. It is reported
that several more will do likewise.
St. Landry parish must be a terri
ble place for crime. The Opelousas
Courier says that twenty convicts
were taken to the penitentiary a few
(lays ago, convicted at the last term
of court, that cost the parish 8$,800,
and. that there are as many more in
jail awaiting trial. The parishes of
Tangipaho and St. Landry are a dis
grace to the Stale.
The '"ward hoodlums" of New Or
leans are somewhat- surprising the
''silk stocking brigade" by putting
forward the leading men in the city
as their.choice for the Constitutional
Convention. These "wardl bosses"
may work for self-interest, (who
is it that dloes not do it), but they
have always been found true to the
Democratic party and its success,
one thing that can't be said of the
crowd of fraud reformers, known as
the Citizens' League.
Mr. R. M. Richardson, of New
Orleans, while in Charleston, S. C.,
aaid that "hundreds and hundreds of
yellow fever cases occurring in New
Orleans were never reported to the
health officers, or, at least, were
-ever reported by those officials to
the public." Mr. Richardson has
been roasted pretty severely by the
press of the city, and say that he did
not tell the truth. All the same,
every person hying outside of the
erescent City believe that not half
of the cties were.ever reported.
Col McGrath, tihe veteran editor
tof the Baton Rouge Truth, says that
"oe of the acts of the new constitu
,tion should be to separate the office
aof sheriff and tax co ctoo and the
ofbiee of clerk a ea~der, and
make them as they '~re a few years
ago. He says that "with a separa
tion and division of public offices the
people are better served, political
aombinationa are more diffeult of
o-nsummation and the power of
pjhltical rings weakened, and for
tbas and other reasons to be fr.
fuBed hereafter, Tirath favors a re
turn to the old method of conducting
poblie alirs." Thsl may do for

Dam Near Impossible: Oregon State Must Go Through Stanford, Ducks To Bowl GameNovember 22, 2010
When all seemed lost in Oregon State's 2010 season, there is still a possibility, at least statistically speaking, of the Beavers reaching a bowl game.
A convincing victory over USC has given Beaver Nation hope, although the remaining two games on the schedule couldn't be much more formidable.
OSU will head to Palo Alto on Saturday to face No. 6 Stanford, a team that hasn't yet ruled out the possibility of a National Championship appearance. At the very least, they are aiming for a Rose Bowl, so the Beavers will need a performance of the decade to make a post-season dream come true.
Oddly enough, it appears the Beavers may stand a better chance against Oregon, a team with talent piled to the rafters and dominant numbers, but recently puzzling after just a two-point victory over Cal.
Meanwhile, the Cardinal is one of the hottest programs in the BCS, seemingly gaining momentum heading into their final match-up of the season with the Beavers.
Depending on how Oregon fares against Arizona, there may be the slightest chance of an upset at Reser Stadium, but even that is generous.
Attempting to predict how the Beavs will perform is like watching a Floridian weatherman sweat on the five o'clock news.
This season has certainly been anything but predictable for Oregon State. With near misses against now-top 5 ranked TCU and Boise State, losses to unranked Washington, UCLA and Washington State have been befuddling and disappointing.
At times, sophomore QB Ryan Katz has been stellar, earning Pac-10 Player of the Week honors for his performance in the upset over Arizona. Other times, Katz has shown his youthful impatience, failing to lead his offense to an easy victory while the defense is suddenly stingy.
Jacquizz Rodgers has had a similar role, rushing for over 100 yards in five games this season, while being almost completely incognito against TCU and UCLA.
For the Beavers, there is no allowance for mediocrity in the final two games of the year. Nothing short of Heisman-like output will do, so Katz, Rodgers and defensive tackle Stephen Paea should be working on their mental game equally dutifully with their physical game.
Speaking on Paea, his performance against USC should be uplifting to on-lookers as he led the defense in shutting down the running attack of the Trojans.
An unfortunate ankle injury suffered by USC QB Matt Barkley in the final seconds of the first half provided a booster to the defense, but it can't be expected at Stanford.
The Beavers will be facing an eighth ranked offense when they head to Stanford, and tops in the nation against Oregon in the Civil War. Paea's season will be peaking the next two games, and the Beavs only stand a chance if the defense provides an opportunity for OSU's average offense.
Even a tough defense may not be enough for Oregon State.
Those same high-powered offenses have strong supporting casts.
Stanford's defense holds opponents to under 20 points a game, while Oregon has the top defense in the country, allowing a microscopic 17 points per contest.
The ratio percentage odds of the Beavers winning against Phil Knight's squad while scoring just two TDs and a field goal look like the first ten digits of pie.
Stranger things have happened, but in the meantime, keep the champagne sealed but in the house.

BREAKING: Everybody Hates Michael Nutter
Pew's got a new poll out that spells a drastic shift in public opinion towards Michael Nutter in the last couple years. In January 2012, he enjoyed a 60% approval rating. Now, he's at 37%. Likely culprits: Acrimony among public-sector employees, many of whom are without a contract, and the roiling schools crisis. For that, Nutter would likely argue that the city and state are more to blame than he is. After all, he's proposed several school funding options the City Council has declined to take up. Oh, would you look at that, City Council's approval rating has dropped as well, to 30%. Also in the poll: More depressing figures, like these.
Anyways, good morning!

Across Grounds
The campaign has made a difference across the University's historic Grounds.
Alumni Association
The Alumni Association strengthens the University and its work and helps develop the bond between the University and its alumni. The Alumni Association also assists and encourages connections between alumni and students, cosponsors alumni-student job fairs, administers the UVA Fund, houses the Jefferson Scholars Program, publishes the Virginia Magazine, and oversees other important initiatives and activities.
To address issues of insufficient teaching and rehearsal space and limited performance venues, the University completed the Betsy and John Casteen Arts Grounds, which encompass new, expanded, and renovated structures for the fine and performing arts. more >
The Virginia Athletics Foundation, through its fundraising efforts, strives to support a preeminent intercollegiate athletics program at the University of Virginia by providing student-athletes the opportunity to achieve academic and athletic excellence. For many student-athletes, an athletics scholarship is the key that opens the door to the exceptional college education offered at the University. more >
Center for Politics
The Center for Politics is an interdisciplinary, nonpartisan unit of the University dedicated to the proposition that government works better when politics works better. To strengthen American democracy, the Center for Politics promotes the value of politics and seeks to improve civic education and increase civic participation through comprehensive research, pragmatic analysis, and innovative educational programs. more >
Health System
Creating powerful new models for patient care, education, and research requires facilities designed for these innovations. New buildings now house state-of-the-art cancer care and consolidated children's outpatient services. Additional buildings for medical and nursing education and two new research facilities have helped the UVA Health System build for the future. more >
Jefferson Scholars Foundation
Thomas Jefferson believed that individual talent and initiative must be the chief qualifications for leadership; and he envisioned the University of Virginia as a training ground for those who would take on the burdens of responsibility in a free society. Mr. Jefferson's goal of nurturing future leaders is at the heart of the Jefferson Scholars Foundation. more >
Jeffersonian Grounds Initiative
The University has embarked on a comprehensive effort to ensure that the architectural legacy of Thomas Jefferson and his successors continues to inspire and sustain the pursuit of knowledge. Although restoring and preserving Jeffersonian structures is central to this endeavor, it also entails the conservation of later buildings that are essential to the quality of life at the University. more >
In every era since Thomas Jefferson created it in the Rotunda, the University Library has been at the heart of the educational experience for faculty and students. Today, the Library enjoys international recognition for its collections of rare materials, exceptional public service, and innovative use of technology to advance research, teaching, and learning. more >
Miller Center
The Miller Center, following Thomas Jefferson's vision of the University's public service mission, is a leading public policy institution. The center is a national meeting place where engaged citizens, scholars, students, media representatives, and government officials gather in a spirit of nonpartisan consensus to research, reflect, and report on issues of national importance. more >
The campaign to support University research efforts emphasized support of programs and people that build capacity and sustained excellence in science, technology and collaborative research spanning all other fields. In particular, the campaign helped solidify existing areas of strength in basic sciences and engineering, and expand selectively in promising new areas that will distinguish UVA as a thought leader, produce societal benefit and transform the higher educational experience. more >
Student Affairs
Leading with a philosophy envisioned by Thomas Jefferson — that students learn best when they take responsibility for their community and for their individual actions — the Division of Student Affairs is committed to helping students grow academically, morally, and socially. Student Affairs people, services, and programs represent the heart of a network dedicated to building a dynamic student experience. more >

Smooth saxophone lines interwoven with piano open "Sunlight," a new CD by Juneau jazz musician Ford James.
"Sunlight" is a collection of progressive jazz-fusion instrumentals composed by James, a guitarist and bassist, and recorded in Juneau with local musicians. The recording is a swan song for James, who is leaving Southeast Alaska next week after living in Juneau for seven years, and five in Gustavus before that.
James plans to spend the summer in the Sierra Nevadas of Central California and move to Portland, Ore., in the fall.
"Ideally I'll find a band that needs a bass player and wants material," he said.
James' first jazz recording, "This One Moment," was released in 1999. James composed all the music on both CDs, developing melodies, counterpoint and arrangements and drawing on the strengths of Juneau pianist Robert Cohen and saxophonist Wayne Norlund. Drummer Andy Engstrom also was instrumental, playing and recording the drums in his home studio.
Engstrom, Norlund, Cohen and James performed together last year as the Ford James Quartet. Playing the tunes live allowed them to grow and evolve a bit before they were recorded, James said. But some of the tunes do not lend themselves easily to live renditions by a four-piece band. James would switch between bass and guitar on stage.
"Robert covered the bass parts with his left hand (on the piano) when I played guitar," James said. "And he played some of the guitar figures on some tunes where I played bass."
The foursome spent far more time working together in the recording studio than on stage. The CD was created by layering parts. Although one piece, "Bear on a Rock," is an instrumental showpiece for solo acoustic guitar, most of the tunes feature a number of parts.
"My stuff tends to be dense, and there were only a few tunes on this that had fewer than 20 parts," James said.
That's a big change from James' first experiences recording 25 years ago. A fan of jazz and rock since childhood, James grew up in a musical household and studied jazz, composition and bass in college in California. In those pre-digital days, layering a dozen parts would be an epic and daunting task.
"The big thing then was a four-track studio with tape," he said. "We'd edit by cutting the tape with razors."
"Sunlight" was recorded digitally on a laptop computer. James said he tried to capture the musicians' performance with a live feeling, and balance that with recording tools that enabled him to correct mistakes, polish the arrangements and process the sound.
"There's a bit of danger with the power of those tools, wanting to fix everything and feeling that nothing is ever good enough," he said. "You can fix stuff forever and strangle the life out of it."
James cited the Steely Dan album "Aja" from the late 1970s as one of the greatest recordings of all time, a project that captured virtuosic, soulful playing with state-of-the-art studio manipulation.
"It had the perfect blend of live feel with studio polish," he said.
James said some of the compositions on "Sunlight" go back to the early 1980s. James worked as a professional bassist on the rock circuit in Northern California throughout college, eventually dropping out to play music full-time. In the early 1980s he began touring and recording with folk musician Kate Wolf, who had a successful music career until her death in 1985. James spent the ensuing years traveling in India and Asia and working in Japan.
He moved to Gustavus in 1990 and built a home, continuing to compose and develop as a musician. He moved to Juneau in 1995 to pursue more music opportunities and work with computers for the state.
"Sunlight" was recorded over the past six months, but some of the tunes came out of his time in Gustavus and travels in Asia.
"The next thing I do will be very different," he said. "Maybe an acoustic CD, or something more simple."
Others musicians on "Sunlight" include percussionists Mike Fieldhouse and Dale McFarland and flutist Rick Alberico. The CD was mastered by James and Mark Alton at Gold Street Studios in Juneau. "Sunlight" is available at Capitol Records and through James' Web site, fordjames.com.

Decrying injustice, Pope concludes journey to Mexico
February 18, 2016
On February 17, his final day in Mexico, Pope Francis flew from Mexico City to Ciudad Juárez, the city of 1.3 million across the US-Mexican border from El Paso, Texas.
Visiting a penitentiary, the Pope told prisoners that "there is no place beyond the reach of his mercy, no space or person it cannot touch."
"Mercy reminds us that reintegration does not begin here within these walls; rather it begins before, it begins 'outside,' in the streets of the city," he said. "It is within a society's capacity to include the poor, infirm and imprisoned, that we see its ability to heal their wounds and make them builders of a peaceful coexistence. Social reintegration begins by making sure that all of our children go to school and that their families obtain dignified work by creating public spaces for leisure and recreation, and by fostering civic participation, health services and access to basic services, to name just a few possible measures."
Pope Francis then traveled to the Colegio de Bachilleres of the State of Chihuahua, where he met with business and labor leaders and lamented the imposition of "the paradigm of economic utility as the starting point for personal relationships."
He continued:
What kind of Mexico do you want to leave your children? Do you want to leave them the memory of exploitation, of insufficient pay, of workplace harassment? Or do you want to leave them a culture which recalls dignified work, a proper roof, and land to be worked? What type of culture do we want for those who will come after us? …
Profit and capital are not a good over and above the human person; they are at the service of the common good. When the common good is used only in the service of profit and capital, the only thing gained is known as exclusion.
Pope Francis then traveled to the Ciudad Juárez fairgrounds, where he celebrated a Mass that was simulcast across the border in El Paso's Sun Bowl.
Recalling Jonah's preaching of repentance to Nineveh, the Pope preached:
We cannot deny the humanitarian crisis which in recent years has meant migration for thousands of people, whether by train or highway or on foot, crossing hundreds of kilometers through mountains, deserts and inhospitable zones. The human tragedy that is forced migration is a global phenomenon today. This crisis which can be measured in numbers and statistics, we want instead to measure with names, stories, families. They are the brothers and sisters of those expelled by poverty and violence, by drug trafficking and criminal organizations.
Being faced with so many legal vacuums, they get caught up in a web that ensnares and always destroys the poorest. Not only do they suffer poverty but they must also endure these forms of violence. Injustice is radicalized in the young; they are "cannon fodder," persecuted and threatened when they try to flee the spiral of violence and the hell of drugs, not to mention the tragic predicament of the many women whose lives have been unjustly taken.
Let us together ask our God for the gift of conversion, the gift of tears, let us ask him to give us open hearts like the Ninevites, open to his call heard in the suffering faces of countless men and women. No more death! No more exploitation! There is still time to change, there is still a way out and a chance, time to implore the mercy of God.
Before departing for Rome, the Pope thanked those who helped make his journey possible.
"The night can seem vast and very dark, but in these days I have been able to observe that in this people there are many lights who proclaim hope; I have been able to see in many of their testimonies, in many of their faces, the presence of God who carries on walking in this land, guiding you, sustaining hope; many men and women, with their everyday efforts, make it possible for this Mexican society not to be left in darkness," he said.
"May Mary, Mother of Guadalupe, continue to visit you, continue to walk on your lands, helping you to be missionaries and witnesses of mercy and reconciliation."

Contemporary and Modern Oak Console Table Guide
The unique elegance of a glass console table makes it stand out among others and thus makes it more contemporary or modern than any other type of material. Glass has always been considered a modern element in design especially in furniture pieces. Modern oak console tables are no exception. Some tables have oak legs with one or two glass surfaces. There are however other ways one can determine how modern a furniture piece really is. For example, the shape of a table is a major determinant because modern pieces are usually streamlined or sleek in design. Whether the shape is round or square the less adornments it contains, the more modern the design is considered. The legs of a table also help to separate a modern design from a traditional piece.
When purchasing any piece of modern furniture, keep in mind that the piece is going to need other modern elements in order for it to fit well into a space. For instance, a console is usually accompanied by a mirror. Choose a mirror that matches the oak and glass combination of the table and try to pick a similar shape as well. The combination of the various contemporary elements is going to make your entryway or hall area flow better and appear modern in design.
Black or White Console Table
A black or white console table is going to be more modern than any other furniture stain or finish. Solid colors are more contemporary because they look more elegant and clean in comparison to older pieces of furniture that are stained regardless of the shade. White and black consoles can fit into most modern designs and are easily matched to other pieces of furniture in the area. Modern designers love to use solid pieces of furniture in designs because they can be mixed and matched with other solid colors of any shade.
When designing around a black or white modern oak console table, consider bringing in other similar furniture pieces like mirrors or chairs so that the table has another modern piece to blend with. Change out traditional trim for a more modern design and bring in a modern rug or modern wall colors to tie everything in. You can find modern oak consoles at most furniture stores or online. Many websites will ship furniture for a fixed rate or even free depending on where you shop.
Mirrored Console Table
The best thing about a mirrored console table is that sometimes a modern table needs a sidekick. A modern mirror is essential if you need another modern piece in the area to tie in your modern design. Many tables
can be purchased with a matching mirror which is ideal because the mirror will most likely have the same style or design as the table. Having a mirror in your entryway is great for getting one last look at yourself before you head out the door. Mirrors also help spread light through an area which is especially helpful in an entry hall because most halls or entryways do not have windows.
Mirrored modern oak console tables can be found in super modern styles. Depending on the color you choose or the shape of the piece, the rest of the designing is going to be fairly easy. Add other modern items like an artistic rug or art piece nearby. Use bold colors on the wall or even a funky wall paper. Your entryway will be like no other. The mirrored table along with the other modern or contemporary elements you add will be the first thing people see when they enter your home. You can find mirrored table at local furniture stores but most modern designs are only available online. Shop around and look for one that best fits your overall design plan.
Hall Console Table
An oak hall console table is a great way to bring furniture into the entryway of your home. The table can be a place where you keep you mail sorter or key tray. The centralized location is also a great place to keep a phone or alarm remote so that everyone knows exactly where they are at should there be an emergency. Hall tables can be found in many shapes, sizes, materials, and designs. Modern pieces are going to be odd or unique in all of these areas. Oak tables can be stained or painted in any color to make them more modern or contemporary.
When shopping for a hall table, keep in mind that the table material and look must be consistent with other pieces of furniture in the area and the rest of your home. Choose a shape and style that best fits the overall flow of your home. Add accessories like a mirror, rug, art, or chandelier that best reflects a similar modern style. You can find numerous examples of modern hall consoles online. Try to comparison shop if you can and between stores to find the best style and price to fit your final design plan.

horizon mend
Stitching hours and hours.
Looking out over the water towards the Wikwemikong peninsula.
12 comments:
- Ms. said...
your horizon becomes my friend too.
Versions Of Sandy
Before the great storm
I was I--Preparing.
Within the storm I was I
solid as a mountain.
After the floods and wind
I flew to Utah--Then
climbed up above clouds
where, I was I--Still.
The feeling of floating and swirling persists with me, reminding me just a bit of the dissociation of acid trips way-back-when, of being reduced (or perhaps enhanced) by the familiar becoming unfamiliar---then familiar in a new way. The sudden awareness sharpened--that we are mortal material within the great churning everything. I find it has heated my internal flame now burning brighter.

Love these stitches Judy !
Is it just pulling hard on a circle of buttonhole stitches that the holes are formed ??? Love it !

- Judy Martin said...
Beautiful poetry, Ms Michelle.
Thank you for that - very glad that you are safe.
mortal material within the great churning everything
And els, yes!
Just pulling and going around the same place with buttonhole makes an eyelet stitch.
slow but beautiful

Ah yes, the horizon. So centering and peaceful, one of the most fundamental things about being a human. Between heaven and earth. Living as I do amongst forests and mountains I don't see a horizon line unless I am on the water.

Such beautiful calm stitching.

mountains. water. the horizon. cloth and needle and thread. there's no better balm for the soul.

The horizon (out there in the blue of distance) is the place that you can never reach ... a friend too is just that bit of unreachable distance away, ahead of you, spurring on your efforts to get there ...

I love this holes.
And I am very happy when I can go back to my also introvert normal life. With all this rain and wind outside my home this weekend...

After more than 9 months of development I'm proud to announce the first official release of Icy Phoenix.
As most of you already know, I left phpBB XS project because I didn't like something of the guidelines and I've decided to create this new package starting from phpBB XS. So many things have been changed since then, and almost all the files have been modified. Only few third party mods have been added, while all the previous features have been refreshed and integrated in a different way respect to phpBB XS. I've personally written many lines of brand new code while trying to give the package its own identity. The result is that Icy Phoenix is something more than just a premodded: files structure has been redesigned, overall CMS and blocks features let users customize existing pages as well as new pages, extended caching system to speed up sites navigation, more...
The major advantages of Icy Phoenix are:
- CMS management
- phpBB permissions system and forum
- Several integrated features to build a complete website
- Many options in ACP to switch features and customize the site
- Overall templates, language and caching system
- Almost 100% XHTML 1.0 W3C compliant
- Open Source
Some disadvantages are:
- Generates more CPU charge, memory usage and bandwidth than standard phpBB (this is the price to pay for having extra features)
- If you want to add some mods created for phpBB you should know that this will require some extra work in Icy Phoenix, because of its different structure
- Created by non-professionals, and this means that the package could have some bugs and the support may be delayed because provided by people who are sacrifying their free time for it
During these months of development I've been helped a lot by all the Staff, both in supporting here and in beta testing... a big thanks to all the Staff.
A big thank you is for Bicet as well. Even if some divergencies pushed me to leave the project we developed together for more than one year, I really have to thank him for all the work we did together and for having started such a good project like phpBB XS was. I hope he'll find some free time in the future allowing him to code again.
This brand new release is almost similar to latest RC: as promised only few changes have been applied just to fix the bugs being found.
As usual, no code changes will be released, and won't probably be released for any version in the future. This is because the package is quite huge and writing code changes requires much time: as I already said in the past, I prefer to focus my free time on developing the package instead of writing huge code changes that could be difficult to be applied. Trust me, in most cases it is quicker to replace old files with new ones and reapply eventually added mods (you should take note of the mods you have applied). My efforts will be dedicated to the upgrade procedures to allow you to upgrade your sites with the smallest unexpected issues.
Another little note about phpBB 3. As many of you know, phpBB 3 is going to be released. Icy Phoenix won't be updated to phpBB 3 for many reasons: features compatibility, templates system, CMS, more... If you need just a forum, maybe it is worth waiting phpBB 3 to be released and install it. I may consider to create a new package relying on phpBB 3 in the future, but it is not guaranteed that it will happen. Please, when phpBB 3 will be out do not ask for conversion or upgrades of something... you have been warned.
Finally about MG Themes: Winter, Spring and Summer won't be released until I'll find the time to fix a bug for the rounding corners script. Please don't ask for them... you have some new themes with this release, and you'll have much more in the future.
- Overview
- Requirements
- Fresh Installation
- Upgrade From phpBB
- Upgrade From phpBB XS
- Upgrade From Icy Phoenix 18.104.22.168 RC
You may also refer to this file for all these info:
And finally here is the download link:
Icy Phoenix 184.108.40.206f

Package Version: 188.8.131.52f
Release Spot: Praising all is like praising none.

Should you ask for support, please remember that this is an open source community and me and all the Staff are doing all for free and in their spare time... be kind, be patient and respect other users efforts and hard work.
Enjoy Icy Phoenix!

Cooley EnviroFlex Media
Five new recyclable substrates.
Cooley Digital Products has introduced its EnviroFlex line of lightweight and recyclable media for billboards, banners, and other digital applications. Engineered for both UV-curable and solvent inks, the products are constructed of PE, PP, polyester, and PVC which makes them up to 60% lighter than the industry-standard 12-oz substrate.
EnviroFlex also offers responsible disposal options; the products can all be recycled using Cooley's Re-Flex program (see below) or reused (into tarps, roofing liners, etc.) depending on its composition. The EnviroFlex line includes:
* Recommended for bulletins and banners, the 7-oz EnviroFlex Lite is a PVC and polyester substrate which can be recycled or reused and is available in rolls up to 196-in. wide.
* The EnviroFlex Lite Hi-Res, a 5-oz PVC/polyester comes in widths up to 196 in., can be used for bulletins and banners, and is recommended for reuse only.
* EnviroFlex Polyflex Lite is a 5.5-oz substrate with a PE and polyester construction for bulletin and banner applicaitons, which can be reused or recycled.
* The 3.8-oz EnviroFlex Polyposter is a 10 x 10 woven PE for use as banners and 30-sheet poster, and is available in widths up to 150 in.
* The non-woven EnviroFlex Polyposter Hi-Res is a recyclable 4-oz PE/PP media that offers a 90-day outdoor durability, can be used for banners and 30-sheet posters, and is available in 126-in. rolls.
In addition, Cooley offers environmentally sensitive customers an opportunity to recycle printed billboards and other Cooley-printed applications. The company's Re-Flex recycling program allows clients to ship used Cooley products the closest fibrous waste recycler. The recycler chops up the billboard and separates the PVC from the polyester via a technique used by the carpet industry to recycle carpet tiles for past 10 yr. The recovered polyester is used as filler for synthetic decking or plastic shingles. The recycled PVC is used by Cooley to make its Single Ply Roofing, a commercial roofing product.

Talib plays starring role for Patriots
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Quarterback Tom Brady is usually the clear-cut leading man in the Patriots' success. It is rare that any part of the New England team other than the offense is credited for leading the way to victory.
But through the 4-0 start to the new season in New England -- the team's first such start since running the regular season table 16-0 in 2007 -- the defense has been just as big a factor in the success as the offense.
And Aqib Talib, less than a season into his career in Foxborough after being shipped from Tampa Bay to New England prior to last fall's trading deadline, just might be the most important Patriot. Certainly he has been the most critical New Englander in a jersey other than No. 12.
The Patriots are allowing just more than 14 points per game. Though that success initially came against rookie foes EJ Manuel and Geno Smith and now-benched Josh Freeman, the most recent victory came on the road against such potentially potent opponents Matt Ryan, Julio Jones and the fledgling Falcons (1-3).
Ryan ended up throwing for 421 yards, including 108 to Jones and a career-high 149 to future Hall of Fame tight end Tony Gonzalez. But big chunks of that damage - including a 49 yarder to Jones - came in a last-ditch effort to pull out a comeback trailing 17 points with six minutes to play.
For much of the night, New England's defense, led by Talib, frustrated the Falcons. Talib matched up at times with Jones and got the better of the battle. Entering the game tied for the NFL lead with 27 catches, Jones had just two receptions for 6 yards in the first half against New England.
This is the type of production that top opposing receivers have against Talib this fall. After joining the Patriots late last season, the former first-round cornerback was tasked with taking out opponents like Andre Johnson and Anquan Boldin in New England's run to the AFC title game.
More recently he was put to use against Tampa Bay's Vincent Jackson, and now Jones.
And Talib is more than up to the task. He had a key interception of a Ryan throw intended for Jones to help set up the Patriots last field goal of the day in what was easily New England's most impressive win of the season. He closed the door in a hard fought win over the Jets in Week 2 with a pick of Smith. He not only is tied for tops in NFL with four picks through four weeks, he is the first Patriots player to record four interception in the first four games since Ty Law did so in an All-Pro season in 2008.
Talib also knocked Ryan's last-ditch, fourth-down throw into the end zone away to truly end Atlanta's hopes of tying the score. Talib took the pass defense on Roddy White, the Falcons other Pro Bowl receiver, in stride with his job as a key cog in the back end of the New England defense to open the new season. A defense that not only is playing a complementary role for one of the league's only undefeated squads, but actually winning games while Brady and Co. work out the kinks.
"Coach dialed it up," Talib explained. "I was on Roddy. Me and Roddy. He just ran a straight -- like an over route, a crossing route and Matt Ryan put it up. I just had to get to it, break it up."
The corner has certainly impressed the coach who presses the buttons.
"Aqib's played great for us all year," Bill Belichick said. "All the way back to the spring, training camp, he's stepped up when we needed him and he played well. He played the ball well. Played against good receivers, tackled well and just played well. He's done a good job for us."
He must continue to do just that moving forward. New England will take on the Bengals (2-2) in Cincinnati on Sunday. That is a likely matchup between Talib and Pro Bowler A.J. Green.
While much of the focus in New England has been Brady's work with a new-look offense, Talib brought a presence to the back of the team's defense that is paying huge dividends early in a season for a Patriots squad that is winning games in a new way.
Talib just might be the Patriots MVP through the first month and defense is making a comeback these days at Gillette Stadium. It has been a while since anyone not named Brady could lay claim to that title at any point in any season since 2001.

Saint's Row, the gangster-heavy, GTA-style action game, will shoot onto PlayStation 3 this spring - as we had expected after US retailer EB Games posted a product listing for a PS3 version of the game recently - following the game's successful launch on Xbox 360 last year.
The announcement was confirmed on THQ's official website, which also assures Sony-buying gamers that the PS3 edition will feature multiplayer modes for action over the PlayStation Network.
We quizzed THQ over plans for any new, PS3-exclusive content, but were informed that the Sony-bound edition would be unchanged. However, the PS3 pack will come bundled with the downloadable extras currently available for 360 gamers to grab from theXbox 360 Marketplace. Which is nice.

It's videos like these that make me want a dog of my own. I mean, just look how silly this dog named Scooter is! All I want to do is frolic in the deep snow with him.
And on another note, am I the only one who thinks this video can cure sadness?
He's kind of like a seal or a dolphin when hes going through the snow. Next lets see a chihuahua video of the same

I'm not finished spinning the roving from the drop spindle class I took last weekend, but I've spun up about 70g of singles at this point. Last I weighed it, I had somewhere around 60g left. So, another week or less and I'll be all done and ready to ply. However, a couple days ago, I was getting really impatient to see what my yarn was going to look like plied. I had five balls of singles (10g each) at that point, so I thought plying two of them up wouldn't hurt. 🙂
I wound a plying ball on my nostepinne. I think I will use my ball winder for that next time. While I can appreciate why some people love hand-winding, I'm not one of those people. I think spinning the yarn and then knitting with it is enough experiencing the yarn; winding is the boring part for me.
So, I made a plying ball and pulled from the center of it to ply on my CD drop spindle from the class. It turns out plying is a lot easier than spinning the singles. There's almost no potential for breakage the way there is going from unspun fiber to singles.
While I didn't enjoy hand-winding the plying ball, I did have fun winding the plied yarn off the spindle and only my Amish-style swift to get it ready for a soak as well as to calculate the yardage. I ended up with 35 yards in 21g, so I'm getting a heavy worsted/aran-weight yarn.
I was a good girl and soaked my yarn right away and hung it up to dry. I had to wake up early the next morning for an appointment before work, but it was already dry when I woke up and I excitedly twisted it up into a little skein! And of course I sent the picture to whoever would look.
I'm ridiculously proud of it. Not because it's perfect–far from it!–but because I made it and spinning is a thing I never thought I would do. I'm excited to spin the rest of it and then knit with yarn that I made myself. I'm this much closer to vertically integrating my knitting and owning my own damn sheep. 😛

TAMPA — Florida has long been known for producing talented high school athletes. But in the state's high school pantheon, there aren't many who can match Adrian McPherson.
"The kid is just a phenomenal athlete, extremely gifted," Storm coach Dave Ewart said.
In 2000, McPherson, who played quarterback and point guard at Bradenton Southeast High, became the first in state history to capture both Mr. Football and Mr. Basketball honors in the same season. He was so talented in both, it was never clear which he intended to pursue.
"He had so much ability," said Paul Maechtle, who coached McPherson in football at Southeast. "A lot of times he seemed to be able to do what he wanted. Whether it was score 50 points (in basketball) or throw for five touchdowns (in football)."
In fact, McPherson said basketball was where he always thought he'd end up. "I tell people all the time that I was a better basketball player," he said.
But Tampa Bay couldn't be happier he choose football. McPherson will pull on his familiar No. 5 jersey and make his Storm debut under center when Tampa Bay opens its season against Jacksonville at 7:30 tonight at the Tampa Bay Times Forum.
Ewart officially named McPherson the starter Friday after a training camp battle with Shane Boyd.
"It was very, very close, and it's great that we have two quarterbacks with experience in here," Ewart said. "We haven't been consistent at the quarterback position since Brett Dietz left (after the 2010 season)."
McPherson appeared on his way to NFL fame after splitting time his freshman season at Florida State and starting the first four games of his sophomore year. He also briefly played on the basketball team.
"He was a Donovan McNabb-type player because he could throw and run it," Maechtle said. "I think he could have been one of those guys, absolutely."
But McPherson ran into legal troubles in Tallahassee and was dismissed from the team in 2002, and the can't-miss kid eventually pleaded "no contest" to theft and gambling charges.
"The honest-to-God's truth is when I look back on it I wouldn't change a thing," McPherson said. "I hate that it happened, but it changed me so much. I'm a good person who made a mistake."
McPherson joined the Arena Football League and was the 2004 rookie of the year with Indiana. He was drafted the following year by the NFL's Saints, but that opportunity was cut short when he was hit by a golf cart driven by a Tennessee mascot at halftime of a preseason game. McPherson, who injured his knee and was subsequently cut, has since sued the Titans for $20 million in damages, but the case is still tied up in court.
McPherson returned to the AFL from 2007-08, then spent the next five years as a backup for the Canadian Football League's Montreal Alouettes. Now 29 and the father of a 3-year-old daughter, McPherson said he wants to get back on the field, and this opportunity so close to home made sense.
"I sat behind the greatest quarterback in CFL history (Anthony Calvillo) and I learned a lot," he said. "But this chance came up and I knew I was done being a backup. All I want to do is play football."

Interiors: Live a High Life and Go Underground
Byline: Colin McAllister & Justin Ryan
ALL across Europe, from Greece to Spain and Italy, people are digging in, going down and adopting tendencies more commonly associated with troglodytes. The reasons are various - and we'll discuss them later - but there's no doubt about it; cave living is gathering momentum.
Our involvement with cave living - and it's a huge involvement - started some five years back in the Dordogne when we visited the Sarlat home of friends Stephane and Carole while on route to write a magazine feature on the chateau home of French resistance singer Josephine Baker. Dead for decades, her former pile remains a perfect time warp to her frantic life. As much as we were excited to be featuring her home, it was the hillside homes so perfectly carved into the nearby mountains that really caught our attention. Sadly, back then, we didn't have time to investigate but ventured back recently while conducting research for this year's Ideal Home Show. Regular Post readers will know that at last years Earls Court show we designed a 60ft houseboat spread over three commodious levels but this year, well, we've really raised the stakes. Indeed, inspired by the cave dwelling phenomenon that is taking Europe by storm, we've designed, well, a cave!
And blimey - is it gorgeous! Constructed off site then brought to Earls Court by lorry, it's divided into four elegant rooms that possess all the form and atmosphere of the real thing. Complete with a villa frontage it effortlessly blends into its own artificial 'rock face'. It's been an arduous project but marvellous results have been achieved. But before we tell you any more we've put together a potted history of cave dwellings and their various types and are going to explain, for example, the difference between a cave HOUSE and a cave HOME.
In Spain, where there is a proliferation of architectural styles ranging from Moorish castles to glorious stone built villas and modest fincas there are also thousands of cave homes that are older than any of them. In Northern Andalusia, for example, the same region that gave us the wild and passionate flamenco, lies the tiny town of Galera where casas-cuevas are still inhabited by a proud and resilient community who eke out a living from the surrounding country side. Sadly, recent years have seen many inhabitants lured to prosperous cities and countless caves have been abandoned. As recently as 1960 there were more than 5,000 people living underground but now there are only a thousand.
Galera, however, has come up with a plan to revive its population. Spotting a gap in the market for unusual rentals, the town council refurbished a selection of caves and via a stout ad campaign unleashed colossal demand. This renewed interest led to a further batch of caves being refurbished and put on the open market. And the results? Well, they were snapped up quickly.
So what makes these homes so attractive? Well, for starters, as the European property market booms and prices continue their vertiginous ascent many people look to alternatives. And as time has passed the caves have become very much more of the moment. No more the amenity-lacking rock pods carved with naive tools by the homeless hundreds of years ago as shelter against the elements. Nowadays the average cave is linked up to electricity and water with mains sewerage a standard inclusion., They can be hermetically sealed against the elements and have an almost constant 18C temperature even though outside temperatures can drop as low as minus ten or rise as high as 40C. Imagine a solid rock thermos flask and you should get the picture. Warm in winter and cool in summer.
If you're a fan of sharp corners and right angles then you'll probably take a while to warm to the caves as their interiors are utterly irregular. Therein, however, lies their attraction for us. …

Federal Judge Consuelo B. Marshall has ordered the owner of three Huntington Beach apartment complexes to stop violating provision of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 and pay six employees due overtime wages.
As a result, Doug Taylor, CEO and general partner of Huntington Maddox, LP (d.b.a. The Maddox Apartments), Huntington Sandpiper, LP (d.b.a. The Sandpiper) and Las Brisas Del Mar, LP (d.b.a. Las Brisas Del Mar Apartments) must surrender more than $11,220 in owed overtime pay, agree never to threaten employees with retaliation for demanding overtime compensation, keep honest records and post notices of employee overtime rights in English and Spanish at each property.
Because of the judge's order this month, Taylor must also hire an independent third party to train employees how to comply with workplace overtime and record-keeping rules.
U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez filed the complaint in late August and it appears from court records that Taylor, who hired Call N Jensen for representation, did not strenuously fight the government's action.
The court's order requires Taylor to post the following notice for all his employees: "The Fair Labor Standards Act provides that all employees must be paid minimum wage for all hours worked. In addition, employees must be paid overtime, at a rate of time and one half their regular rate, for the hours they work over 40 in a workweek. All employees, whether they are paid hourly or on a piece or flat rate basis are entitled to overtime when they work over 40 hours."
If you believe your employer is cheating on overtime pay, confidentially call the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division at (626) 966-0478.

Thumbs up, Thumbs down
Published 6:06 pm, Tuesday, December 11, 2012
Thumbs up to promotions in the Greenwich Fire Department that will see the fire marshal's office fully staffed for the first time in more than a year.
Lt. Chris Moynahan and firefighter Chris Pratico were each promoted to deputy fire marshal Monday, bringing the division to its full complement of five. That will allow the office to keep up with the busy task of investigating and, more important, preventing fires, a duty that includes public education and inspection and enforcement of fire codes.
"The only good fire is the fire that hasn't started," says Greenwich Fire Chief Peter Siecienski.
Congratulations as well to firefighter Steven Cacace, a life-saving veteran of the department who was promoted to lieutenant.
Thumbs down to asking the Feds to help us with tree damage on the town golf course.
This might not be the most popular of positions to take, but Greenwich should think twice about asking the Federal Emergency Management Agency to help pay for tree damage Hurricane Sandy caused at the town-owned Griffith E. Harris Golf Course on King Street.
Greenwich was hit hard by the storm, and it's appropriate to seek FEMA funds to help repair serious damage at town parks, which is estimated to cost up to $3.5 million.
But the town is also prepping a $1 million claim for town-owned trees lost during the storm. Officials hope to recover $800,000 of the $1 million from insurance, which is fine, but want FEMA to cover a $200,000 deductible.
Half of the tree damage occurred at The Griff. Town officials understandably feel their responsibility to taxpayers is to get all the federal aid they can. But there were entire communities within a one- or two-hour drive from Greenwich that were utterly laid to waste by Sandy. They will need every penny of help that they can get to recover, if they can recover.
In light of such profound suffering, it's hard to justify diverting funds to restore aesthetics for golfers.
Thumbs up to Maureen and Brendan Walsh, the Danbury couple who have taken Buddy into their home.
Buddy, as you might recall from news accounts, is the 9-year-old German shepherd mix who was found in his home, emaciated and weak, after his owner had died. Buddy had survived for five weeks on a small bag of food and a dripping water faucet, never hurting his deceased master. The Walshes adopted Buddy after he was nursed back to health at Noah's Ark Hospital in Danbury. By all accounts, Buddy is already repaying his new owners with affection and loyalty.
We urge all who are contemplating getting a pet to follow the Walshes' example and adopt. Shelters are full of dogs and cats waiting for a home. A great place to start is Adopt-A-Dog (914-273-1674 or www.adopt-a-dog.org), or the town's Animal Control Division (203-622-8299 or www.petfinder.com/shelters/CT289.html).

It has felt like a lengthy winter without the black bears however to them I'm sure the season has flown by. There have been many vessels on the look out for these wonderful creatures since the beginning of April. In the last week the sightings have increased enough for West Coast Aquatic Safaris to be offering it's first official tour of the season.
Ideal conditions for this tour are during the low tide periods of the day and preferably when the temperature is cool. For us this often means that our 7:00am departure times offer the highest level of success. These tours take place on the sheltered inside waters of Fortune channel and in behind Meares Island. As the tide is low the bears will emerge from the forest in search of crab and other shellfish in and around the rocky beaches and grassy mudflats.
The best way to experience this spectacular tour is from the walk around deck of either WASCO or NANUQ. An elevated viewing platform allows are guests the ability to see up some of the steeper beaches, past obstacles and into the wooded area if needed. The freedom to move around withing the vessel to any of the outer viewing decks means you can move to get the view that best works for you and not have to wait until the boat adjusts its position.
During these tours we are often fortunate enough to see Stellar Sea Lions, wolves, Harbour Seals and Bald Eagles. The scenery is some of the most spectacular in British Columbia and the comfortable cruise with any of our very knowledgeable captains and naturalists is an experience that will not be forgotten.
