March 1
We had a young women presidency meeting at my house. I gave Nala her first bath here at our house (she was bathed when we picked her up from the shelter). She did so well! For our young women activity we had a Personal Progress Pizza Party which was SUPER fun! We played Personal Progress Cranium with the For the Strength of Youth Pamphlet. The young women LOVED it and want to play again. Kaylee's friend Elise came again and had fun too!
Pup in the bath.
Getting dry!
Snuggles after bath time.
Nala brought this huge rock in from outside.
Silly Nala.
McKenna reading from the For Strength of Youth pamphlet.
McKenna, Hannah, Bielka & her daughter, Elise, Kaylee, and Julie isn't pictured.
March 2
Nala had her first appointment with the vet! She did so well! She didn't even flinch when she got her shots. She is so friendly and sweet. I babysat Reed tonight!
Spotted some purple flowers in our yard today!
Napping with her tongue out.
Reed is so big! He's 1 now!
Reed is walking!
March 3
James is doing well in Baltimore. I talked with Dad on the phone today and noticed a huge spider! I was the only one around to kill it before Nala ate it!
Nala looking cute.
Gigantic spider!
March 4
I had lunch with Bielka at her house today. She made delicious lasagna and I brought a salad. Bielka's puppy, Charles, is a 6 month old chihuahua and it was his first time interacting with another dog! He was intimidated by Nala's size since he weighs like 5 lbs and she weighs 15.8 lbs according to the vet. They learned to get along though. Kaylee came home from school and I coached her on her dance technique. She loves dance at 12 years old just like I did!
Charles wasn't sure about Nala's playfulness.
She sleeps in the weirdest positions. Behind my head on the couch.
March 5
After a long day with Nala I babysat baby Vinny and talked with James on the phone.
Nala soaking up the sun!
March 6
Had a fun time with Nala getting ready for church today. Sister Bingell from the stake young women girl's camp came to our ward to speak to the young women about girl's camp this summer. It should be fun!
Poor pup is afraid of the hair dryer haha!
She hid under the bed from me.
Sleepy girl.
March 7
I walked Nala to the Davisville library (they LOVE her there) and met up with Kristie and Brooke there. She and I talked for 2 hours. She's a great friend.
Nala after the library.
Don't forget about our cute family dog Paxton!
March 8
Happy Birthday Rex Fairbanks, he is 4 today! I went shopping at Kohls today and got some cute things! The young women had planned to play volleyball tonight but the church carpets were being cleaned so we all met at Bishop Mease's house and watched the LDS Face2Face with popcorn.
Nala playing with her reflection!
March 9
I went to Roger Williams Zoo with Bobbie & her kids, Ashley Miller & baby Harrison, and Jamie and her kids! I babysat Zoe & Logan after the zoo.
We love to see the elephants!
Nala wishes she went to the zoo too!
James sent this photo of Baltimore!
His best childhood friend Dan coincidentally came to Baltimore to do a rotation too! We were all so happy they got to visit!
March 10
I babysat Zoe & Logan again. Nala was playing rough with me today!
She drew blood :(
March 11
I went to book club. I didn't have a chance to read the book but it was called Uprooted. The theme was woodsy and green for St. Patrick's Day. I made homemade guacamole. I'll share the recipe because it was SO good. After book club Nala and I played outside because the weather was so nice!
Sitting at my feet like a faithful pup.
Can you find Nala?
She loves to bite me.
I hold her tongue when she tries.
So she bites my jacket instead.
I distract her with a stick-her favorite.
Posing like a pretty princess pup.
This picture has me laughing so hard I'm crying! Haha.
March 12
I cleaned the house all day and gave Nala a bath. I got ready for James to come home! I went to the stake youth activity where we watched all the youth films that were made from each of the wards and had pizza & an awards show. It was neat to see the other youth films, but I loved our youth's Star Wars film the best! I picked James up from the airport after the activity and loved him to death! Nala was pretty excited to see him too!

We wished Brielle a Happy Birthday
We bought Nala a bed that we put in her crate.
He's home! Reunited after a month!
Nala can't go downstairs.
March 13
I gave the young women lesson at church today about the Atonement of Jesus Christ. It was a great way to get in the Easter Spirit. After church James and I took Nala for her first walk in the wildlife refuge by our house! She was in heaven!!!
She was in stick heaven!!!
Exhausted after her energetic run through the wildlife refuge!
March 14
James starts his Anesthesia/Ultrasound rotation. It is SO nice because he works 7am-3:30pm five days a week and has the weekends off! SUCH a nice change from working so hard in Baltimore last month.
March 15
For our young women activity we held a Leadership Retreat for the young women since they all have new class callings as Laurel, Mia Maid, and Beehive class presidencies. We gave them information about their callings, then we had different stations teaching the lessons from Leading in the Savior's Way. I taught "Creating a Spirit of Unity in the Presidency & Conducting Meetings" and I had fresh veggie cups for them to snack on. Bri taught "Preparing and Using an Agenda in Class Presidency Meetings & Planning Activities with Gospel Purposes in Mind" with chips & queso to enjoy. Bielka taught "Delegating Responsibility and Ensuring Accountability & Keeping Confidences" with fresh fruit and dip for them to snack on. Then we played a game where the leaders took turns conducting both poorly and wonderfully and the girls had to give the leaders a score based on their conducting performances. Then it was the girls' turn to practice conducting and we gave them scores 1-10. The young women with the highest score won a movie theater box of candy! I think the young women had fun at our leadership retreat!
Bri teaching while baby Faye helps and Lexi dishes up some queso!
March 16
I babysat Zoe and Logan today. Nala played with sticks today and LOVED it.
She's actually chewing on the tree branches because she loves sticks!
Found another stick!
March 17
Happy St. Patrick's Day! I have the flu! I babysat the Carbones in the morning.
James studied and Nala helped.
March 18
Still sick with the flu!
March 19
I was still so sick so I couldn't go to the youth temple trip. I was SUPER bummed about this. I was really looking forward to this! Here is a group photo they took and sent to me:
Lexi (Laurel), Kaylee (Beehive, her first time at the temple!), Amber (Laurel), Hannah (Beehive), McKenna (Laurel).
Boston Temple
Hannah, Kaylee, Sister Welles, Lexi, Brother Welles, Brandon, Brother Bentley, McKenna, Amber, Bishop Mease, Ian, Wesley, Sister Stoklosa, Toe (Matthew), Ethan.
March 20
I stayed home from church since I didn't want anyone to catch the flu from me. James went to church and I made meatloaf and cared for Nala. When James came home we took a walk in the wildlife refuge. Nala loved it as usual and took a special interest in the water:
She loves napping in this spot.
March 21
It snowed today! Lucky for me it melted later the same day but Nala was loving it while it lasted!
That puppy snow on her forehead!
Snow on her nose & stick in her mouth.
She loves it!
The pile of branches & vines James took down from our yard makes a great pile of snow sticks for Nala to play with.
"Help mom, I'm stuck!"
"I'll dig my way out."
"Then stick my head into the trees, I smell the land of Narnia."
"Time to go in for a treat!"
March 22
I missed going to the young men/young women combined activity. They played human battleship and I heard it was a hit! I am so tired of having the flu!
March 23
I finally decided to get out of the house and go somewhere. I attended the Relief Society Birthday Activity. The theme was Stand in Holy Places and each woman brought a pair of shoes with special meaning behind them. I brought my sparkly Chelsea flats (the store manufacturer name of the shoe is Chelsea) and shared that I walked the stage in the shoes when I graduated with my degree. We enjoyed delicious food, but I was still feeling sick. One of my friends told me I looked clammy, and I really did not feel like myself. I was relieved to go home and get some rest after that.
March 24
I worked on blogging today! Nala was very patient with me. I'm slowly getting better.
I can't tell if she is feeling patient or impatient.
I guess the video shows she is impatient at this moment.
March 25
Happy Birthday to my amazing brother Peter
Happy Birthday to my incredible Father in-law Todd!
I called Peter and took Nala on a walk in the morning and my brother in-law Steven called me with the good news that he and Kate are engaged! I'm so excited for them! After my chat with him, Peter called me back and we talked for a good half hour about his plans for his birthday in Texas. It was great to talk with him! I went to the grocery store and my visiting teacher Susan called to see if she could visit me in a couple hours. I said OF COURSE and she came and we shared a special Easter message. She brought me beautiful tulips! After my visit with her (and Nala calmed down), I continued blogging and then had a phone conversation with my sweet Nana! I felt so popular today with all the phone calls! I spent the evening shopping at Kohls with my sweetheart James. I got some great deals including my new Nikes! I'm still congested but I'm getting better!
Steven & Kate are engaged!
Gorgeous tulips from my visiting teacher.
My new kicks.
March 26
James worked in the yard building a side yard fence for Nala and tearing down vines from our trees! He is pretty sore and got several cuts from his hard work! Nala played outside ALL day now that the fence is secured, and she LOVED it. She was so tired by the end of the day! I made Easter cookies to bring to the General Women's broadcast. A few women met at the church and we watched the broadcast and enjoyed yummy treats and good company. I'm so thankful for the ladies in my ward! They are great! It was wonderful to hear the messages from the General Women's auxiliaries. You can watch/listen to it here! Congested and coughing but less and less!
March 27
Happy Easter!
I felt MUCH better today. I still blow my nose on occasion and have random coughs but over all I feel much better. James and I enjoyed a WONDERFUL day at church with amazing messages about the Savior's Atonement and Resurrection. After church we played with Nala outside (the weather was so nice!) and then we carpooled with the Lehnhof's to enjoy Easter dinner over at the Ferrell's house! They also hosted the Stoklosa family as well. The food was delicious complete with a ham, roasted baby potatoes, asparagus, spring salad, deviled eggs, and homemade Lionhouse rolls with homemade raspberry butter! YUM! We all headed across the street to the Smith's house for an Easter egg hunt for the kids and dessert! The Smith's had the missionaries and the Escobars over for dinner so they were there for dessert too. All these families are in the Narragansett ward with us. We had the Spring confetti bars that I made, Cadbury egg chocolate ice cream cake, and other goodies! James kept calling my Spring Confetti Bars Easter Bunny Poop (it looked colorful and tasted good, not bad), which caught on, so everyone started calling it that! Haha.We definitely had some laughs and loved spending Easter with good friends!
James calls them Easter Bunny Poop
because my bars had rounder looking mini marshmallows.
Happy Easter! Love, The Chapmans
Nala on Easter Sunday looking her best.

March 28
I went shopping for discounted Easter candy! Nala loved playing outside in the rain and I spent the afternoon preparing things for our young women activity tomorrow. James came home earlier than usual and we took Nala for a walk once the rain let up. He spent the evening studying for Boards while I worked on Personal Progress tracking for the young women. Nala keeps bringing sticks in the house--she loves them!
She found a stick of course.

March 29
For our young women activity the girls wanted to dye Easter eggs. So we dyed eggs and worked on Personal Progress Faith #5 and Virtue #4. I also made them this cute General Conference Personal Progress Easter Egg Hunt that they can do this weekend!
McKenna, Kaylee, Lexi, Kaylee's little sister Sadie, Amber's friend Nicole, Amber.
They really wanted to dye Easter eggs even though Easter has passed!
Nicole, Amber, Julie, McKenna, Kaylee, Sadie, Lexi.
March 30
Happy Birthday to my awesome brother in-law Jason!
Today I cleaned the house & planned for Nashville!
Vacuuming can be exhausting when you're afraid of it.
March 31
Today was 65 degrees out so Nala loved her walk today! I made Chicken Parmesan Casserole to bring to our friends Justin & Tiffany who just had a baby girl 2 weeks ago. Justin is a 3rd year emergency medicine resident. I also made James' favorite meal, Chicken Tikka Masala, the copycat recipe from Bombay House in Provo! We had the Lehnhofs over for dinner and the kids loved playing with Nala in the back yard!
Nala LOVES when Bobbie pets her. Finn loves Nala.
Remie giggled uncontrollably while Nala chased her!
I love James' cute face. Brian and Livie are having fun too.
I love Livie's adorable smile here!
There's a good smile Brian!
As you can see by my smile, we had a great time with our good friends!
Spring has sprung and April is next!

This is my most recent gear acquisition and so far it has been a rock solid music making machine. I was looking for a piece of gear that let me make music without having to turn on my computer and stare at the screen. It is super hands on, and making music on it seems very "analog" to me.
First, let me clear up something that I had problems understanding at first. There are two current models of Electribe, the EMX and the ESX. Quite simply stated, one is a "synth"(EMX) and one is a "sampler" (ESX). Of the two, I opted for the sampler because it is possible to load any synth waveform or drum sound into it. There are some differences in effects offered on the two, but there is plenty of modulation which can be automated using what Korg calls "motion sequences".
One of the very cool features this sampler has is the ability to "re-sample" its own output without signal degradation. This is handy because it allows you to apply effects and modulation to a sample, then "bounce" it. Those of you who use a DAW might be familiar with that term, but basically your new sample does not require any effects or automation to sound the way it did, and you are free to apply other modulation or effects to other samples or to the same sample again, in essence double modulating the sound.
One thing I was a little disappointed in is that there is only one true envelope generator per part. Korg calls it EG and it can be applied to volume (in the traditional amp decay sort of way which makes the sound decay quicker than the samples original length) and/or to the filter. The manual did not specify that the envelope generator knob in the filter section uses the same envelope generator timing that the amp section does, so adjusting a shorter amp decay time will also affect the filter decay time.
Many people have complained about the built in effects on this unit and I have to agree that they are a little lackluster. They are usable of course, and many are fine, but there are only two adjustable parameters and each individual part is either sent to an effect or not and their send level is 100% of the volume.
The sequencer is great on this. Simple X0X style step sequencer like old 808s. Using the "Motion Sequences" it is possible to record knob movement in real time. The values are recorded only on the sequencer steps themselves (16th notes generally), but there are 2 settings for the motion sequence playback. The "Smooth" setting seems to smoothly transition from one value to then next, whereas the "Trig Hold" setting jumps from value to value. I use this to record pitch warps, filter sweeps, LFO speed, volume automation (since there are no velocities recorded to the step sequencer except an "accent" part which accents all sounds which are playing on the "accented" step of the sequence. I find it nice to use the "Trig Hold" motion sequence mode to record slight volume alterations to hi-hats in order to keep them from sounding too robotic. )
Another nice thing about this unit is the LFO/ modulator. It can be assigned to the pitch, cutoff, amp or pan and has 4 traditional shapes plus one decay shape which is handy for creating pitch drops. The decay shape can also be used as a second basic envelope generator. The LFO is also BPM syncable, meaning you can do some nice dubstep bass filter wobbles, or set up 1/4 note volume swells which sounds a lot like sidechain compression when done to a pad in a 4 on the floor pattern.
One gripe some people have about this unit is that although it has a built in beat slicing tool and two beat slicing tracks, you are unable to re-order the slices in order to alter the beat (read squarepusher). There is a work around which I will show in my tutorial section which involves using the a stretch sample track and automating the start time of the loop being played back.
The audio input is great. If you create a sequence of 16th notes on the audio input track, you can do trance gating. You can also sequence in a single whole note when you want a less stuttery sound and your audio will pass through un-chopped. This allows you to route the audio input track to the effects section and use the electribe as an effects box. Of course dedicated pedals sound better though. It is nice for cool tempo synced filter sweeps or tempo synced delay though.
After having purchased an MPC1000 I realize one more strength of the ESX, everything is instantly written to memory. This memory remains after turning the unit off and the unit only takes about 10 seconds to boot up with all samples online. If you want to save everything in memory you can get a card to write the internal memory to. This process can take about 40 seconds. Reading esx files from the card and writing them to internal memory can take about a minute and a half.
Another thing the ESX does that nothing else I am aware of can do is handle reversing samples in realtime. I have a video tutorial about this, but basically when you hit the reverse button, it begins instantly playing backwards from the point the sample is at at that moment. Very much like a record spinning then getting reversed. This can be a cool way to get infinitely sustaining sounds out of shorter sounds without clicks at the loop point, or even turntable type sounds.
I was fortunate to find one of these units for $220 an I would say that it has been totally worth it. If you are looking for more in depth sequencing and sampling, try Ableton, but be prepared for a learning curve with any DAW. The Electribe ESX is hands on and intuitive. It can pump out some really cool music. I plan on using it as a scratch pad, then dumping the loops into Ableton for major work and mixing. Look for some of my tutorials on this unit.
My previous workflow with Pro Tools, Logic and Kontakt was overwhelming me with the amount of options and my inability to pick one and move on. I really enjoy this piece as a dedicated synth and sampler. No need to look at a screen, no knob assignment or master midi controller. Everything is on the unit and the knobs are all one knob per function. Select your part then turn a knob. Bam. Even a unit that is over 8 years old can get lots of great stuff out of it, and I am sure that if I looked, many people use these live. I highly recommend this piece for a great scratchpad for ideas and getting some solid beats. Look at my tutorials for tips on it.

Can I stop a page from loading?
User Help for Mozilla Firefox
8 posts • Page 1 of 1
How often have we been scanning down a page and as it detects we're in a certain area everything slows down because its loading some ads or some video? The old Opera had a feature where you could just hit the Escape button and it would kill that incessant loading. Wondering if Firefox offers anything like this? Hitting Escape doesn't do anything it seems or maybe websites are getting more sophisticated and can bypass whatever Escape does in Firefox. I do use an AdBlocker and its great but often the content is video that isn't blocked by AdBlocker. I don't even know what this feature would be called so I can look for a possible extension. Of course it would be best to be able to do this without an extension/add-on since we all know how often they are rendered useless after a Firefox upgrade.
One of the worst offenders is Facebook. So often things crawl when the Status Bar on the bottom pops up informing me something is happening with Facebook. Is there any way of blocking all connection with Facebook? That would be great! They're like a dead weight when you're browsing. Maybe Firefox will add a Facebook block in Permissions in a future build. Better yet it should be in Options for the entire browser!
When loading a page the reload icon should change to an X. Clicking on that X should stop the process.
You should also be able to click the back arrow or, if you set home to about:blank that would do it as well.
Cool...I'll try that.
Since is videos that seem to be the biggest resource hogs (besides Facebook), can I block videos from ever loading in about:config? I didn't see anything in Permissions that seemed relevant but there are a pile of options in about:config that are video related. I don't have a clue though which one I should try. It would be much better to be able to do it per website but hey, beggars can't be choosers!
In about:config, media.autoplay.enabled set to False will stop videos from playing until you click to play.
Re Facebook, not sure if what you're talking about popping up is FB push notifications, but if it is, you can disable that in FB settings (https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=n ... =push&view). And you can also block them in FF Options > Privacy and Security > Notifications.
you got the "zonk" now. and if clicked he only gets audio, video is dead.
Got it! Thanks!
The media.autoplay.enabled preference can cause issues on some sites and people may forget they have it set.
ex: Bug 1231886 - media.autoplay.enabled set to false is breaking user experience (videos won't play)
A alternate preference to try instead is to try toggling the media.block-play-until-visible Preference to true as it stops media from auto-starting in background tabs.
Another Preference is media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground
> A alternate preference to try instead is to try toggling the media.block-play-until-visible Preference to true as it stops media from auto-starting in background tabs.
I don't have that one. I do have
set to true though.

The Two-Minute Miracles
Thanks to CBC Radio 2 and a December 20th trip to Costco with Steve Jones, I now know about the Toronto based band, Two-Minute Miracles. These guys are so under the radar but totally authentic and unwary roots rock.
The video above is of a live performance of "Stall Tactics", which I encourage people to purchase off iTunes, from the album Volume III The Silence of Animals. Weird title, but that's good. I purchased several songs from various recordings of theirs and then burned a CD for Steve for Christmas. This I hope, will push him to set up his iTunes account on his "new" iMac and buy the albums in full. So far, Steve loves these guys.
This video link is of a more polished production; an upbeat sort of tune, which I will also buy, from the album "Lions of Love". Title song from that album is also really good.

The United Kingdom is currently trying to revamp its taxation policies to close loopholes and make sure big firms that operate in the U.K. pay their fair share of corporate levies. The Chancellor, George Osborne has been widely criticized for its failure to bring into line big corporations such as Amazon, Google and Starbucks that have been avoiding taxes in the U.K.
National protests have brought the Chancellor to realize something is amiss and something must be done. Seven years ago the Labour government implemented a fifteen percent tax on gambling firms from the U.K. prompting an exodus by many big gambling operators to more tax friendly jurisdictions such as Malta and Gibraltar.
Now the government it is rumoured will try to entice those firms to return to the U.K. with a better tax regime more in line with other jurisdictions. Protesters have said though that a tax cut for the online gambling industry would lead to more social problems by encouraging gambling in Britain. A director of Tax Justice Network, John Christensen, commented, 'It really doesn't make much sense to lower the rate of taxation to try to bring them back to the UK. The tax rate should remain as it is.' The opponents to the tax break have suggested that some countries in the European Union have even higher taxes and have more restrictive policies with regard to online gambling activities. The treasury is looking to slash taxes on online gambling by one third estimating that even a five percent cut in the current rate would give operators £100 million in tax savings per year.
Hugh Robertson, the U.K.'s Minister for Sport and Tourism, commenting on the proposed bill said, "These proposals will ensure that British consumers enjoy consistent standards of protection, regardless of where a gambling business is based."

The plaintiff (Roberts) a painting subcontractor, brought this action pursuant to G. L. c. 149, Section 29, against the general contractor (Delfour) and its surety, for contract balances on a public construction project awarded pursuant to G. L. c. 149, Sections 44A-44L. Delfour counterclaimed alleging that there was a breach of contract in that the plaintiff failed to perform timely its contract in accordance with the plans and specifications. Delfour also sought the rental costs due for scaffolding it leased to Roberts. Delfour was allowed to join the plaintiff's surety (American) under the provisions of the bond required by G. L. c. 149, Section 44H. The case was referred to a master, whose findings of fact were to be final, but no stenographer was present or requested. A judge of the Superior Court adopted the master's report. The plaintiff and its surety have appealed from the ensuing judgment that was entered in accordance with the report. We treat the questions presented seriatim.
1. A violation of Rule 49, Section 9, of the Superior Court (1974), does not oust the Superior Court of jurisdiction to handle a matter, and it certainly would not (and did not) preclude that court from proceeding as it did here. The judge had the power (see DeMatteo Constr. Co. v. Board of Appeals of Hingham, 3 Mass. App. Ct. 446 , 457 [1975]) to revive or revise the order of reference. The judgment is not defective, and collateral attack in this regard is not availing.
2. The plaintiff questions the adequacy of several of the master's subsidiary findings, as well as the omission of certain findings favorable to it. The plaintiff, however, did not follow the procedure set forth in Miller v. Winshall, 9 Mass. App. Ct. 312 , 314-317 (1980), and authorities cited therein.
(a) On review of the record we conclude that the master was not required to find that the defendant (Delfour) was responsible for any significant delay. See Bills v. Nunno, 4 Mass. App. Ct. 279 , 282-283 (1976). Nor can we conclude such was the case as matter of law.
(b) It has not been proved nor is it evident that the master failed to consider the effect of change order no. 7 in his calculations of damages, as the amount of the damages awarded on account of heat and light was reduced significantly from the amount claimed.
3. Apart from Roberts' failure to demonstrate an error on the face of the record, see Rule 49, Section 7, of the Superior Court (1974), and Bills v. Nunno, 4 Mass. App. Ct. at 283, nothing on the record compels the conclusion
Page 932
that Delfour had not complied with G. L. c. 149, Section 44I(3) 4, as in effect prior to St. 1980, c. 579, Section 55. In any event, Delfour's claim does not appear to be for "services rendered" but rather is for consequential damages for Roberts' breach of the subcontract; hence, G. L. c. 149, Section 44I(3) 4, is not applicable.
4. As the purpose of the bond provided for in G. L. c. 149, Section 44H, as amended through St. 1965, c. 836, Sections 4-6, is to help "secure the performance of . . . the subcontractor," see Continental Bronze Co. v. Salvo & Armstrong Steel Co., 8 Mass. App. Ct. 799 , 801, 803 (1979), we think that in these circumstances a reasonable way of securing the subcontractor's performance was to have Roberts reimburse the general contractor for damages caused in the event of a default. Roberts' failure to complete its work on time constituted a failure of "performance of said subcontract" within the purview of the bond, and damages arising therefrom properly may be assessed against Roberts' surety. See Robertson v. New Amsterdam Cas. Co., 207 F.Supp. 60 (D. Ky. 1962), aff'd. 324 F.2d 345 (6th Cir. 1963).
5. So far as it appears from the master's report, the leasing agreement was completely separate from the subcontract, and thus, Delfour, in its capacity as a supplier of labor and materials to Roberts, may not recover against Roberts' surety under a Section 44H bond. See Continental Bronze Co. v. Salvo & Armstrong Steel Co., supra at 799.
6. Delfour may not now seek attorney's fees from either Roberts or American, as it did not appeal from the judgment omitting such awards. See Mahoney v. Mahoney, 5 Mass. App. Ct. 720 , 726 (1977).
Paragraph 2 of the judgment, which adjudges American jointly and severally liable to Delfour, is to be modified by reducing the amount of such liability by $360, representing rental costs for scaffolding leased to Roberts. The interest payable by American is to be recalculated accordingly. As so modified, the judgment is affirmed.
So ordered.

Today was the 100th day of school, and in honor of that everyone dressed up as 100 year old men and women.
Everyone except Rilyn.
She refused.
However, C.J was more than excited to dress up and wear the white beard I made him out of cotton balls.
Here he is, pre-beard.
Suspenders and all!
"You didn't make me one, did you?!" Rilyn gasped nervously referring to the beard I was making C.J.
"No." I said laughing, "only old men have beards., silly!"
"Nu-uh, Lubby has a beard!" said C.J, matter-of-actly.
"She only has a half of one!" argued Rilyn.
In case you are wondering, Lubby is their grandma.

I hesitate to admit this but Saturday was the first time I'd ever seen this entire film. "Midnight Cowboy" was released in 1969 when I was 12 years old so it's not surprising I had missed it when it first came out. Funny side story: "Easy Rider" came out the same year and I did see that film - with my parents and my grandmother. My mother took us out to the movies for a nice family outing and ended up sitting in between her 12 year old daughter and her 69 year old mother-in-law, both of whom where leaning over to her and whispering, "What are they doing??" Obviously, my mother had no idea what the film was about. I think she just wanted to see Jack Nicholson.
"Midnight Cowboy" starring Jon Voight as Joe Buck and Dustin Hoffman as Ratso Rizzo caused quite a stir when it opened in 1969 by being rated "X." It was based on the book of the same name written by James Leo Herlihy and directed by John Schlesinger ("Day of the Locust" "Marathon Man".) It went on to the become the only "X" rated film to ever be nominated for Best Picture and then, amazingly, it won, beating out "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" and "Anne of a Thousand Days." The story is about Joe Buck, a good looking but naive Texas boy who is looking to make a buck in New York City by becoming a hustler. After trying and failing and losing more money than he earns, he meets Ratso Rizzo who promises to help him. Together they also have failure after failure and eventually end up nearly freezing and starving to death in Ratso's make-shift apartment. Ratso becomes ill and Joe does everything he can to scrounge for money. The film ends with Joe using what money they have and taking Ratso to Florida, which has always been his dream. The friendship that forms between these two is one of convenience at first but it develops into a true partnership where neither man can imagine being without the other. Jon Voight plays Joe Buck as a simple cowboy who just wants to forget his life in Texas (there are very unpleasant flashbacks all through the film involving a girlfriend and a brutal attack by a gang.) Despite what seems to be a horrific episode in his life, he has managed to maintain his humanity and is just looking to survive however he can. Ratso is a man who was born with a distinct disadvantage due to a physical deformity and is also trying to survive. Dustin Hoffman's portrayal of Ratso reminded me in some ways of a small dog who thinks he's tougher than he is. This serves him well and he ends up protecting Joe more than Joe protects him. Dustin Hoffman is one of those rare actors who can take a character and become that character with his whole being and Ratso will start out making you cringe and end up making you cry.
This is a film about two damaged people whom we shouldn't care about but we do because of the performances by Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight. Their characters form an alliance and a friendship that will break your heart. Plus the ending is a tour de force - beautifully shot with such tender acting between the two men. The images will linger in your mind long after the film is over.

|The new annotated H.P. Lovecraft. Introduction by Alan Moore.
Excerpt from All About Alienation: Alan Moore On Lovecraft And Providence, an interview by Nick Talbot published in August on The Quietus website.
"He was doing his writing where he loved the New England landscape around him, he loved its history, he loved the way it looked, he loved everything about it. In that sense he was a very provincial person. He found his stay in New York unendurably horrific. But at the same time he was keeping up with the science of the day. And he understood the implications of that science; he understood the implications of relativity; he understood the implications of the quantum physicists; perhaps only dimly, but he understood how this decentralised our view of ourselves; it was no longer a view of the universe where we had some kind of special importance. It was this vast, unimaginably vast expanse of randomly scattered stars, in which we are the tiniest speck, in a remote corner of a relatively unimportant galaxy; one amongst hundreds of thousands, and it was that alienation that he was trying to embody in his Nyarlathoteps and his Yog-Sothoths.
[...] the anthropocentric view of the world – he saw that that was all gone. And I think tellingly he said that his entities should not be seen as evil. He said things like 'good' 'evil' 'love' 'hate' – these are all human concepts that mean nothing to the vast infinities. But as a person he loved the world around him. And he found great meaning in it and great warmth. As an intellect he understood that that area around him was just part of a gigantic chaotic meaningless random universe. And I think that in his stories of transcoding horrors manifesting in New England settings he was trying to bridge the gap between the personal, intimate human world as we know it and the vast, inhuman cosmos as we know it. Yet that's not psychogeography but its not a million miles away from it." [Alan Moore]

I recently ordered An English Eye, The Photographs of James Ravilious by Peter Hamilton from Amazon UK. I've always admired the photography of James Ravilious, but had not been able to find one of his books in print until recently. The book came the day before yesterday and I haven't been able to keep my eyes off it. It is simply sublime if you like this sort of photography -- beautifully rendered black and white images of peaceful English countryside, replete with cows and sheep as well as characters from the farms, towns and villages.
As you can see from the image on the left, Ravilious liked to take photographs facing into the sun, with his subject nicely illuminated around the edges. According to Peter Hamilton, who wrote the excellent text that accompanies the photos, Ravilious had to master the film development and print making processes in order to expose the shadows without blowing out the highlights. He shot with a Leica M3 camera and found that the modern coated lenses of the same vintage took photos that had too much contrast. The solution was to haunt the used equipment stores looking for older lenses made from non-coated lenses. The results speak for themselves. The images have a lovely, gradual transition from shadows to highlights with all sorts of middle tone variations. Using non-coated lenses made the whole set-up prone to glare, so Ravilious concocted his own lens hoods with lots of black tape to shield the lens from glare.
The book is organized into two main sections. Peter Hamilton has written about 40 pages of text outlining Ravilous' life as a photographer. There is a chapter on his life and influences, a large chapter on art, photography and Englishness and a chapter on techniques and working methods. The second main part consists of over 60 wonderful plates of Ravilious' images, each slightly larger than 5x7. The reproduction is quite beautiful, printed in Italy by Editoriale Bortolazzi Stei.
To someone like me who works in today's crazy world of long hours and urban commuting, where you're glued to your Blackberry and your laptop and send and receive hundreds of messages a day at full tilt, Ravilious' life seems like a dream world. He actually made is living taking photographs of farms and daily life in small villages. He was paid to be the artist in residence by the Beaford Art Centre, working on a long-term project to document the North Devon people. Sometimes when I survey the trail of red lights up the Don Valley Parkway at night, I think of Ravilious and what his life must have been like. Sigh!
Here's a quote that will give you a taste of Hamilton's writing: "Anecdotes about James Ravilious recount his almost boyish delight in his photography, his ability to devote himself so completely to his work that for him at least time stands still, the contrasts between a person whose mercurial personality renders him extremely 'jumpy and agitated' yet is able to wait patiently for three hours in the same spot to make a picture. Such characteristics allow us to understand why his wife, Robin, describes him as 'very pleasantly mad'."
In my next life, I'm coming back as a photographer of rural England (if it still exists).

ZMI PowerPack 20000 review: A speedy charger for your USB-C MacBook or MacBook Pro
Monday February 12, 2018. 12:14 PM , from Macworld Reviews
Before the USB Power Delivery 2.0 spec became reality, battery packs maxed out at a charge of about 15 Watts (5 volts at 3 amps). PD 2.0 increased the max to 100W, but most of the batteries implementing PD 2.0 strike a balance of performance, heat, cost, and compactness by outputting about 30W. Some recharge at the same rate while others are much slower.However, the PD 2.0-based ZMI PowerPack 20000 ($80) offers 40 watts of power over USB-C to charge laptops while they're in active use. And the 72 watt-hour/20,000 milliampere-hour PowerPack 20000 recharges itself at 45W. It's faster in both directions than nearly every USB-C battery pack on the market.To read this article in full, please click here

UK Delivery Information
Shipping your handmade cat scratching post to you is about the only thing that we don't do ourselves here at ScratchyCats. Like any other retailer or online shop we have to use a courier company. Unlike other businesses though, we think that honesty is the best policy and don't try to 'pretend' that the postage is FREE by inflating all of our product prices in order to cover our shipping costs. We believe that transparency is key so that you know exactly how much you're paying for the product, and the additional charge for shipping. It's an unfortunate fact of life that courier companies are not free, and neither are boxes and packaging materials. For the majority of our sales, we use DPD who offer a fast, efficient and reliable service to both us (the business) and you (the customer).
The price you pay for shipping depends on what you buy from us and is worked out based on both a weight and volumetric equation, see below for a guide to our shipping prices. This table is for UK Mainland customers only. Those living outside of the UK Mainland should contact us before purchasing for a postage quote.

Season Diary - Week 25
Back at the start of the season when we made an early exit from the League Cup and it was put down to fielding too many new players.
I never thought we'd be experiencing the same sixth months later!
Individually the new players looked decent enough, but as a team we didn't offer much going forward and that has to be rectified soon.
I don't like the idea of our best player from recent seasons being benched unless he is being transferred, and I don't fancy losing McDonald with no permanent replacement signed.
I also don't see why we are not starting our top goalscorer, in his proper position, and utilising the blank firing Tyson's pace down the wing instead…but what do I know?
On Sunday the youth team showed a bit more cup fight in their quarter final against the Yahoos.
The first half was forgettable, derby nerves let's say, but the second half made the weekend.
McLean scored a bullet header, they equalised straight away.
McLean scores a penalty, Wilson yellow carded and they score one back.
Wilson then red carded, another penalty, McKay saves it, extra time.
Ten man Killie lose a goal early, but a Whittaker brace in the closing minutes wins it for Ayrshire's finest.

Most business people would trade the world for Wall Street, yet Paul Mampilly, a finance guru, and well-known investor willingly gave that up to be part of the Main Street. During a recent interview with the famed podcast producer, Eric Dye, Paul revealed that the move was triggered by the fact that he was sick of helping the affluent investors in wall street become richer. He was also pushed by his desire to help Uncle Joe enjoy a piece of the success pie using his knowledge.
To achieve this, Paul Mampilly went on to establish the Profits Unlimited Newsletter through which he shares his vast knowledge of the Stock market with the readers. The newsletters is published under Banyan Hill Publishing where he is one of the senior editors. Having been in the stock market arena for more than two decades, Paul understands it like the back of his hand, a factor that enables him to suggest the most profitable stocks for his subscribers, thus helping him achieve ultimate success in their careers too. It is thanks to this, that he now has over 90,000 subscribers who read and follow in his footsteps when it comes to stock investment.
In his interview with Eric, Paul Mampilly touched on various areas of the finance world such as how the stock market today has changed in comparison to two decades ago. For instance, Paul says that two decades ago, most traders preferred using mutual funds, hence making them dominant over ETF's but today, the script reads differently as ETF's continue to rule the airwaves. He also talked about the common mistakes that traders make which prove to be pricey in the long run, such as procuring shares when everything in the market is going well, and capitalizing on the same stock.
Paul Mampilly also revealed that coming up with the most valuable stock suggestions for his readers is no joke and as such he spends about 12 to 14 hours of his day researching and analyzing the stocks that his clients procure. He also revealed that he admires and looks up to the success of Tesla owner, Elon Musk.
More about Paul Mampilly
Paul is an alumnus of Montclair and Fordham Universities where he received his Bachelor of Business Administration and an MBA respectively. He is also a Templeton Foundation award winner and is also the editor and writer of two other newsletters, Extreme Fortunes and True Momentum, all of which play the same role as his first newsletter.

Oooh Schnibbles!
I just learned a new word, and I think it is a totally brilliant one. I was looking for pin cushion inspiration, like you do and I saw a lovely little one that I thought I could manage, the site was Doodlehead.com and they called their designs Schnibble Tuffets, it's fairy tale cute isn't it? Looking further I found this definition:
- Schnibble: noun A scrap of fabric; a leftover bit of cloth; a small piece. The word has a German origin and is found primarily in German settlements in the Midwest.
Now a tuffet is something I remember from a nursery rhyme, it's a sort of little pouffe, or stool, in story books it pretty much always looks like a toadstool under a tree, with a spider hovering just above it.
In Doodlehead's world though it means a little weeny block at the centre of a round of strips that finish 1/4" wide. It's for people who enjoy working with the miniature but they are really sweet. The photo's thatI've copied from http://www.doodle-head.com/sew/pincushions.asp
are their Schnibbles Tuffetts,
aren't they cute? but Melissa when she gave me permission to share the photo's with you told me that she got them from Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. You'll find the leaflet here:-
http://www.missrosiesquiltco.com/Schnibbles.html there are lots and lots of instructions for layer cake quilts, I haven't managed to find a 'Recipe' or instructions for these pin cushions but the Log Cabin one on the right should be easy enough to do, it looks as though it's quilted by stitching in the seams and I have to say I like the way it looks. I might have a go at a quilted pin cushion next. As for now ? I'm off to see if I can manage a whole block without a burn, cut or schnibble!
Have fun wherever you are, and whatever you are doing today.

Travel writing is just 1 of the earliest narrative forms in life, Tekulve states. The options are endless and maybe you locate a new fire and meet interesting teachers. In either track, there's no require to understand another language.
The Benefits of Travel
The entire world looks to us, and that's something to be very pleased with. Medical care in colonial times was a really primitive area with a lot of room for progress. Egyptian drinks No doubt Egypt is hot and you're likely to feel like hungry.
The Ideal Approach to Travel

The Chronicles of Travel
You have more and far better meal options on the street. There's every prospect of locating an excellent bargain on flight tickets. You have to first cancel your present deal.
Ok, I Think I Understand Travel, Now Tell Me About Travel!
An employer that sponsors a reasonably priced medical insurance plan for its workers assumes a substantial part of the costs. A healthcare is a state-issued medical insurance card differently referred to as Medicaid. Dependent on the company, the plan might contain dental coverage.

The Battle Over Travel and How to Win It
As soon as you're sure concerning the traveling dates you may start the search for affordable flights weeks or months before the date of travel.

Leviticus 19 and Our Story
Over 30 years ago Frank & Holly started a tradition in their home to save their silver coins in a jar for children in need. At the end of each day, Frank & Holly and their family would put all of their extra change into a jar and save the money until the jar was full. This jar quickly became known as the Leviticus 19 Jar with the money being distributed to help various ministries and causes over the years. The Leviticus 19 Jar has become a signature in the Watson family for sowing back into the Kingdom of God through their own financial blessings. Frank & Holly would like to invite you to join with us in our Leviticus 19 Outreach, by being a part of our ongoing efforts to help the less fortunate.

We would love for you take a look at this beautiful jewelry and choose a special item to behold as your own, that's a signature piece designed for KRGO/Holly Watson Ministries only.

Frank and Holly also invite you to sow independently into our Leviticus 19 Jar Fund to help support other ministries who are working on behalf of children in crisis. Our jewelry is just one way to sow. Your gift is a crucial part of helping us fulfill the Great Commission.
When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 19:9-10

|It's a very nice idea to combine a drawn chara with a photographed background! The effect would look even better if you manage to integrate the chara into the background more properly. Give especially attention to the outlines. Normally, real world never has any outlines, there are only docked areas of different colours and brightness. You don't have to abandon the outlines of the chara, but perhaps he would be integrated better, if the outlines would be thinner and not so sketchy. I wouldn't have drawn any outlines in the smoke of the cigarette (it looks rather like branches of a scrub), but would only hint it with pale, lightgray wafts of smoke. More important than the outlines, is to choose colour for the chara which matches to the environment. So the man has to be more gray-blueish over all, but there where the mild setting sun shines, the tones of colours should be more orange-redly.

samuel johnson said 'when a man is tired of london, he is tired of life'. now, he also said some fairly trippy stuff about dogs walking on their hind legs, and amused himself by inserting joke definitions into his dictionary, so I am minded to ignore him....
Except. I'm finally back, and by god, I love London. I love the grubbiness, the infinite variety. Dammit, I'm even feeling well-disposed towards the Northern Line - that's how happy I am.
While I've been away, I waxed all nostalgic about London at least twice a week. I even went so far as to buy a book of parodies, where great poems had been rewritten to be about the tube.... (including: "They fuck you up, the Northern line trains," which, although lacking any respect for scansion, is pretty good).
But now I'm back, the jar between London in idea and London in reality has to be confronted. The one who captures my problem best is Will Self, in the 'emotional geography of London' he wrote for Granta:
"The faux villages of London - the tiny zones around friends' houses, or known haunts - spread over a grey waste of overpopulation, strung out along ribbon developments of short-term memory...
"Even ten years ago, and certainly fifteen, I patrol central London and still avoid my past self when I saw him coming in the opposite direction. I could take alternative routes to avoid the districts of failed love affairs, I knew short-cuts that would circumvent the neighbourhood of an abandoned friendship. But now the city is filled with narratives..."
I feel this already - parts of London are already tinted with remembrance. Angel will always be university, journalism, becoming a responsible adult; London Bridge will always be Saturday mornings at Borough Market, laughing, muffled against the cold; and Lambeth and Holloway will always sting with the failure of their respective relationships. But I like my London compartmentalised, manageable; I don't want the memories to bleed into one another.
I don't suspect I have much choice in the matter, though...

mama's tulips
underneath the arbour. my uncle built it, I painted it, M & D planted the wisteria, and the sun grew its flowers.
the lavender was all abuzz [spot the bee]
I've spent most of this week at Mum and Dad's place; it's my HQ for jam making [my "jam factory"] because of the kitchen facilities. Yesterday afternoon while I was sitting tying bows I turned on the TV to see Entertainment Tonight interviewing Oprah on her new book, 'What I Know For Sure'. I had to pause and whip out my phone to note down a few "Uh Huh" moments.
"Everything that happens to you, happens for you".
"Nothing that ever happens to you is wasted."
"This, too, shall pass".
"The easiest way to change your vibration when you're down is to be grateful."
"Say thank you."
I've started this sentence about ten times and am really struggling to articulate, but without overthinking for a minute, the point is that when life throws you difficult circumstances, even though it can be hard to see or want to accept at the time, often there's a reason, a lesson, a purpose. I do often feel this way looking back, and even in my current stressful time, where even very recently I was struggling to identify a reason for my unhinged year, I'm beginning to see a purpose [stay tuned]. And it is tough to trust that "this, too, shall pass" and you'll come out the other side, but... maybe that's the miraculous thing. You don't have to trust it. It just is. It will pass.
While you're feeling a bit down and out, be grateful, and say thanks for all the wonderful things in your life. Spin positive. Well Lindsay messaged me before to comment on what a nice day it was, and hoped I could get outside to enjoy it. I said I was inside doing job things, but the view from the window was pretty and peaceful [which it very much is - grateful]. Then I read an excerpt from Oprah's new book [below] and that led me straight outside to set my bare feet on the ground. I noticed what a beautiful garden my Mum has created and I snapped away. Grateful for the blue sky, the miraculous flowers, the cool earth beneath my feet, the sweet birds and the smell of the sun.
Here is my excerpt from the excerpt:
Pay attention. Every choice gives you a chance to pave your own road. Keep moving. Full speed ahead.
Being grateful all the time isn't easy. But it's when you feel least thankful that you are most in need of what gratitude can give you: perspective. Gratitude can transform any situation. It alters your vibration, moving you from negative energy to positive. It's the quickest, easiest, most powerful way to effect change in your life – this I know for sure.
Whatever you're going through, you will do just that: go through it. It will pass. So say thank you now. Because you know the rainbow is coming.
I'm often confronted by things about which I have no certainty at all. But I sure believe in miracles. For me, a miracle is seeing the world with light in your eyes. It's knowing there's always hope and possibility where none seems to exist. Many people are so closed to miracles that even when one is boldly staring them in the face, they label it coincidence. I call it like I see it. To me, miracles are confirmation that something larger than us is at work. I believe they happen not just sometimes but every single day, if we are open to seeing them.
In my own life, miracles often involve the simplest things... a miracle is watching a sunset the colour of strained peaches and seeing it turn to raspberries by the end of my evening walk. It's having pomegranate, kiwi and mango on a pretty tray for breakfast. It's admiring the pink peonies I cut from my own garden and placed in my bedroom. It's when a green van pauses on the road and a young woman leans out the window to yell, 'You're the best teacher on TV!' and she is a kindergarten teacher. It's the sound of the birds and their individual songs and the moment when I wonder, are they singing to each other, to themselves, or just to be heard?
Excerpt from What I Know For Sure, Oprah Winfrey.
What are your little miracles... what are you grateful for?
