5. Cadimahan River Tour
Another popular destination in Capiz that offers a relaxing river cruise is the Cadimahan River Tour. Tourists may choose to have a river cruise down the Cadimahan River or stay on a stationary floating restaurant. Similar to the services offered in Palina Greenbelt Ecopark, sumptuous seafood dishes are also being offered in the floating restaurant and additional services such as foot spa and body massage. On a river cruise, enjoy the views of mangroves and beautiful flying birds such as mangrove blue catcher, egret, tern and black-winged stilt while local singers entertain you with Hiligaynon folksongs.
Cadimahan River Tour is located in Barangay Baybay, Roxas City, Capiz.
6. Suhot Cave and Spring
Suhot Cave and Spring is one of the famous tourist spots in Capiz which is a favored destination among the locals. Onsite are open huts facing the developed spring pool wherein the cold and natural spring are coming out from the rock on the cave. A stone throw away from the spring pool is the Suhot Cave. Not that much interesting stalactites and stalagmite formations but still worth exploring to have some adventure. A 15-minute trek from Suhot Cave and Spring is another cave called Lahab Cave. Visitors may enjoy dipping or swimming on the refreshing spring or go spelunking on the nearby caves.
Suhot Cave and Spring is situated in Barangay Dolores, Dumalag, Capiz.

Classical review: BBC Prom 61 in Royal Albert Hall
AS leader of the pack of Renee Fleming fanatics, I can happily claim her singing at Prom 61 last week was the highlight of this year's Proms.
BBC Proms in the stunning Royal Albert Hall
PROM 61 Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, conductor Sakari Oramo, soprano Renee Fleming Royal Albert Hall, London SW7
AS leader of the pack of Renee Fleming fanatics, I can happily claim her singing at Prom 61 last week was the highlight of this year's Proms.
Dressed in a pale mushroom coloured crinoline, her extraordinary voice was not supplied by any discernible amplification. She sang Samuel Barber's Knoxville, Summer of 1915 and Strauss's Daphne – Transformation Scene, but I had forgotten the power and purity that filled the Hall's colossal space.
Her pitch is so easily perfect, her high notes, and I mean high, are so clear and clean they seem to come from another world. The Fleming voice gives a brand new meaning to the word 'music'.
Swedish born Andrea Tarrodi's Liguria received a warm reception for its UK premiere. A descriptive piece, it sounds an honest effort to give the audience something to enjoy – a welcome sentiment in today's frenzy to show off.
Carl Nielson's Second Symphony was a triumph and a neat piece of programming it was, too. An appropriately bouncy opening whisked us back to reality after the other worldly Renee Fleming and the Royal Stockholm was superb as they made the most of Neilson's meaty orchestrations.
An occasional hint of eternity never did anyone any harm and this is what classical music is all about, heartrending pleasure.

SiriusCare PremiumComplete IT & Network Management Solutions, Individually Designed From The Ground Up
Designed For Large Businesses & Schools
SiriusCare Premium is our enterprise level ICT management service designed for larger businesses and schools.
It is a completely bespoke service individually designed to meet the specific requirements of your operation.
This product has been designed with the aim of providing premium network support services at a cost that is both fair and predictable. SiriusCare Premium includes a full range of added support features, with the option of fixed monthly rates for extensive on-site and remote support and network management services.
In The Cloud
For smaller organisations or where you have Ultra fast broadband internet (fibre), the cloud may be the best place to serve your organisation from.
On Site
For larger organisations, or where your broadband connection is limited due to location or line conditions, it may be more optimal to have services held on-site.
Or Mix It Up
SiriusCare Premium can be delivered with a mix of cloud and on-site services as appropriate depending on your organisation's needs.
SiriusCare Premium Served On-Site Offers:
Disaster Recovery
A SiriusCore twin-node cluster replicates all its services across pairs of servers on your premises – including storage.
These servers can be on opposite sides of your building or campus so that if one fails or is lost to disaster, the other node quickly takes over.
Your servers and services are located where you can see and touch them.
Full LAN Speeds
SiriusCore Onsite delivers full 1000Mbps LAN speeds to your services including cloud storage to your on-site devices, no matter how limited your internet connection may be.
Works Well With Legacy Services And Software
SiriusCore Onsite can natively serve up old services that cannot move to the cloud, such as legacy databases or software that won't or shouldn't work outside a local network for technical or security reasons.
Full Virtualisation Support
Virtualise your existing servers – a Sirius server can contain multiple virtual servers running either Windows or Linux, with scalable storage.
Scalable Resources
Storage and processing resources can be scaled up and down as needed – and when upgrades require physical changes to individual servers, we just move services to your other servers to carry out the job, and move them back when done.
In some cases, at night or during quiet times, we can even move all services to fewer servers and power the un-needed ones down, saving electricity.

Astronomy and Civilization in the New Enlightenment
139,09 €
Astronomy and Civilization in the New Enlightenment
This volume represents the first which interfaces with astronomy as the fulcrum of the sciences. It gives full expression to the human passion for the skies. Advancing human civilization has unfolded and matured this passion into the comprehensive science of astronomy. Advancing science's quest for the first principles of existence meets the ontopoietic generative logos of life, the focal point of the New Enlightenment. It presents numerous perspectives illustrating how the interplay between human beings and the celestial realm has informed civilizational trends. Scholars and philosophers debate in physics and biology, the findings of which are opening a more inclusive, wider picture of the universe. The different models of the universal order and of life here presented, all aiming at the first principles of existence—accord with the phenomenology/ontopoiesis of life within the logos-prompted primogenital stream of becoming and action, which points to a future of progressing culture.
* Brings the sciences and metaphysics together * Ontopoiesis of life reveals the geo-cosmic positioning of man in the universe. * Ground is laid for a 21st Century breakthrough by which the sciences and philosophy can present a more complete picture of the universe. * Passions of the skies prompting civilization and science. * Cosmos as natural home of the human being.

Queen For A DayBoy, am I tired this morning. A pilates class last night, coupled with an hour of Queen renditions on American Idol and restlessness right before bedtime adds to Donna, sleepy in the morning. Pilates always makes me want to throw up, puts me in utter pain and I'm always tired as hell afterwards. Am I doing something wrong, or is my core just out of shape?
I just have a couple of things to say about AI (I promise this won't become a blog all about Simon n'nem)
1. Doesn't Taylor Hicks look like Bill Clinton?
2. And Paris like an old-school Janet Jackson (which was fab to me)?
3. And how unattractive is Elliot Yamin? His name sounds like something a rapper would say. (I'm keeping it real, Yamin?)
4. Ace singing We Will Rock You is comparable to Justin Timberlake singing with Aerosmith at the Super Bowl a couple years ago.
5. What rapper is going to be first to sample Fat Bottomed Girls?
Fantasia was in the audience, an Idol I love but…being in the audience isn't a good look career-wise. I've had her CD since it came out, and for some reason today, I'm listening to it for the first time. After Summertime, I'm going back to J Rawls. Baby Mamas is next...damn!
I couldn't imagine Man-tasia...I mean Mandisa singing any Queen songs. Their songs are awesomely constructed, so it takes a true personality to tackle them. Not that she doesn't have one...but what would she sing? And why didn't anybody sing Another One Bites the Dust?
My prediction on who should go home BUCKY. And while we're on Bucky…please don't tell me his momma named him Bucky. I know I've been the name police lately, but by just changing the first letter in his name, I can come up with about a dozen offensive names for this cat. The Jessica Simpson/messy Johnny Depp look isn't hot either.
Okay, so it looks like this will be a reality show post. Sue me, fuck you.
In defense of Jade on ANTM, it seems like the producers are splicing some of her comments to make her seem eviler than she is. Now, the bitch is bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S. However, last week when she was discussing how love can make you distracted, then the camera cuts to her advising Nnena to stay with her man…you know that doesn't mean Jade is being conniving. She could have said that before or afterwards. I see them trying to make a connection that just isn't there.
If I were on ANTM, I would probably be like Jade, wacky, overly-confident, though fly (but not a drag-queenish, that's for sure). I would probably set a skunk lose in Furonda's hair weave too, but that's for another day.
Thursday evening through Tuesday: I'm on vacation bitches! I'll be out of commission so tomorrow is the last post of the week.
Finally: Creamy Crack updates. Check out some of my recent hairstyles.
Song For Today: I Can't Help It by Michael Jackson. So sexy! Thanks to Krate for encouraging me to dig out my Off The Wall CD.

Splat the Cat, Christmas Countdown: Rob Scotton
Splat the Cat Christmas Countdown is a fun touch-and-feel holiday book. Splat prepares for Santa's visit with a tree and gifts. Snuggled into bed, his hope arrives, and the next morning is full of celebration.
This familiar character brings innovative textures to the holiday with a prickly tree, a shiny package ribbon, and ultimately, Splat's own belly fur. What a fun board book for the holiday countdown!

frequently asked questions
Hello! Thank you for your interest. Feel free to use any photos on this site, as long as they are credited accordingly (if the photographer is unnamed, it's me!)
Email me for a full press kit, including high res photos. The 'about' page here is a great place to get to know me and my work.
I'm happy to do interviews in person and by phone, even on short notice
Do you run a podcast or blog? I'd love to contribute.
Is your community anchored in a shared love of wilderness? I'll happily work with you on a feature article, collaboration or community challenge.
Other topics that relate to my work: minimalism, zero waste journeys, slow living, slow fashion, sustainability, watercolour, colour studies, creative community.
In 2018 I am not accepting commissions for single paintings, in order to open up my schedule to work with non profits and wilderness organizations. These packages are centred around different purposes. Email me for a PDF guide to this process.
Celebrating. Commission a series of original watercolours that celebrate a milestone or collective achievement. Display the paintings in your office or give as gifts to key players.
Giving generously. Commission a painting that celebrates a wild place you support together, give limited edition prints as gifts to patrons, donors or staff.
Fundraising. Commission a painting (or a small series) inspired by a wild place your organization is working to protect. Invite your community to invest in limited edition prints where 50% of each sale goes to you. My studio takes care of all fulfillment.
What is a print, exactly?
The prints in my shop are printed professionally by Fidelis Fine Art Prints using archival quality ink on a heavyweight, softly textured MOAB brand paper. I recently discovered a serendipitous combination of paper and ink that lets the colourful transparent qualities of watercolour shine through. The main difference that you'll notice visually between a painting and a print from my shop is that the edges of a print are cut straight, not ripped like my paintings. Prints are embossed (which is a fancy way of saying there is a raised circle on the paper) and signed by me.
Prints in the shop are printed to order, which means they take 1 week to arrive back at the studio. It takes us another few days to package and ship them off to you!
Prints are offered in standard 4 x 6 and 5 x 7 inch sizes, which makes them easy to frame.
This Wild Road + Future Oceans prints are in limited editions of 25, meaning only 25 will ever be printed. Each print is numbered and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Bonus: our packaging is now 100% plastic free! You're welcome, ocean.
HOW DO I BUY AN ORIGINAL painting?
Painting collections are released a few times each year. If you don't see anything that speaks to you in my shop, please do email me for a PDF of available work. Thank you!
Interior Designers
Oh hi! I'd love to collaborate with you on a feature, style or shoot. My work is especially fun to play with in small spaces or for clients who choose sustainable, future friendly materials. After meeting a neighbour in my favourite local coffee shop Gene who paints vintage vans, I have a someday dream of styling a tiny home, laneway or VW van with my tiny paintings inside. In my opinion, no home is too small for original art.
Designers receive a discount on prints and I am happy to arrange custom framing for you. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com to get a VIP code for 20% off print purchases.
Lately I'm exploring a larger format for my abstract colour studies. I setup beside a river or near the ocean and paint just before the sun goes down. The world lights up magically in that golden hour. This body of work is evolving in a fun, playful way and I'm now booking on location colour studies for collectors in this format. Contact me to discuss details.
There are a few options for shipping during check out. This mainly serves Canadians and local Vancouverites. Custom shipping is calculated based on your address. After your order is placed, a shipping invoice will be emailed if there is an additional shipping fee. Payment is accepted by e-transfer or online checkout.
Small flat packages - within Canada and the USA. Canada Post, 3-5 business days, $5 - $30 depending on number of pieces, weight, dimensions + gift wrapping.
Single Framed Works - Canada Post or DHL, 5-7 business days, $25-$50 per package within North America. Price depends on type of framing, dimensions, weight, gift wrapping etc. International orders can be surprisingly high for a single framed work, despite the small size.

Blog number nine brings with it autumn weather; rain, cold, and the changing trees. After a very hot and dry August and September, October's cooler weather has been a welcomed relief. No longer do we have to escape to the library for a cool blast of air conditioning to "study" or to a nearby café for a frappe. Today is a chilly nine degrees (about forty-eight degrees Fahrenheit); a little too cold for the typical sandals and a cardigan. As with any weather, I complain whether it's hot or cold; though I may have to find a waterproof jacket if I plan on leaving my dorm room!
To accommodate the colder weather, I have gone shopping for warmer clothes to replace the summer clothes that have been my daily wardrobe for the past month. Even back in America I hate shopping, but I have learned a new dislike for shopping in a foreign country. Apparently, clothes and shoes are made for small people and do not fit my 5'10" figure or my abnormally large feet. Most pants are too short and when I ask for a size forty-two (9.5 in America), the sales women look at me like I just said that I have six toes. So, now I am squeezing my feet into size forty-one boots and making due with the one pair of jeans that I brought from home. Although I may complain about it now, I know that I will look back on my Bulgarian shopping experiences with fondness!
With the colder autumn weather comes football. Although Bulgaria is beginning to feel like my new home, it's nice to have an "American cultural" experience every now and again. Last night, an American professor from Louisiana invited a bunch of students over to his house to watch the LSU vs. Florida football game. In addition to watching great American football, he cooked wonderful southern cuisine; allowing us Americans to have a little familiar cooking and the other students to experience spicy food. The night was filled with "American football 101" (for the students who had never watched a game before) and fun as we cheered LSU to a home victory. It was great to sit down for a few hours, watch a football game (even if it wasn't my beloved Huskers), and spend time with friends!

I dropped my twin's urn when I was moving it to another location and it shattered when it hit the tile floor spreading ashes and pieces of ceramic everywhere. As in unfixable shattered.
Paralyzed, I can only look at all of it in horror.
It's all I have left of my twin.
And I've ruined it like everything else.

New Jersey will recognize divorces obtained in foreign countries if the foreign court
had jurisdiction and the foreign judgment does not offend New Jersey's public policy.
Determining whether a foreign divorce meets these requirements and is valid is fact-specific.
Under Guyanese law the number holder (NH) must have been domiciled in Guyana in order
to be able to obtain a divorce. He was not required to be a resident. Even if there
are doubts concerning the validity of the divorce, a New Jersey court may still find
the divorce valid under the presumption of validity doctrine.
Whether the divorce in Guyana of Stanley A. G~, Number Holder (NH), and Claudette
W. H~ (Claimant), is valid under New Jersey law.
OPINION We have determined that New Jersey will likely recognize the validity of the Guyanese
divorce between the NH and claimant. Further, prior to the divorce, Claimant's marriage
to the NH lasted at least ten years.
1 A marriage license shows that the NH married Claimant in Irvington, New Jersey on
August 14, 1990. The same marriage license lists Guyana as the birthplace of both
the NH and Claimant. According to the Center for Programs Support (CPS) memorandum
and correspondence, New Jersey has been the NH and Claimant's regular residence since
the date of marriage. The NH instituted an action of divorce in Guyana against Claimant
in 2000. Claimant states she received notice of the divorce action, but did not respond.
CPS has informed us that the NH's ties to Guyana seem tenuous due to continuous work
in the U.S. CPS has provided us with a document from the Guyanese High Court of the
Supreme Court of Judicature, dated August 13, 2000 and entered September 4, 2000,
regarding a decree of divorce between the NH and claimant.
A divorced wife of an insured person is entitled to benefits if the claimant is the
insured's divorced wife and: (1) the parties were validly married under state law;
(2) the parties were married for at least 10 years immediately before the divorce
became final; (3) claimant applied for benefits; (4) claimant is not married; (5)
claimant is 62 years old or older throughout a month in which all other conditions
of entitlement are met; and (6) claimant is not entitled to benefits based upon a
primary insurance amount that is equal to or larger than the full husband's benefit.2 20 C.F.R. § 404.331; see Social Security Act (Act) § 202(b). In determining whether a claimant qualifies as
a divorced spouse under the Social Security Act, an adjudicator must determine whether
a divorce is valid according to the law of the NH's domicile at the time of filing
an application for spouse's benefits. POMS GN 00305.170(A)(2). In this case, assuming that NH was domiciled in New Jersey at the time of
claimant's filing for divorced spouse's benefits, the law of New Jersey would apply
to determine whether the divorce is valid.
New Jersey Law on Validity of Foreign Divorces
Under the principles of comity, divorces obtained in foreign countries will be recognized
in New Jersey so long as: (1) the foreign court had jurisdiction, and (2) the foreign
judgment does not offend New Jersey's public policy. See Dominguez v. Munoz, FM-07-751-05, 2008 WL 4682024, at *4 (N.J. Super. Ct. App. Div. 2008) (citing Fantony v. Fantony, 122 A.2d 593, 596-97 (N. J. 1956)). Determining whether a foreign divorce meets
these requirements and is valid is fact-specific; A New Jersey court will consider
several factors, including the domicile of the parties, adequate notice of the application
for the foreign divorce and any hearings, whether both spouses participated in the
divorce proceedings, whether any support, asset division, and child custody provisions
are fair and reasonable, and the similarity of the grounds for the divorce to like
grounds in New Jersey. See e.g. Hirschkorn v. Hait, FM-021898-07, 2008 WL 695892, at *8 (N.J. Super. Ct. App. Div. 2008) (holding that
the Israeli Rabbinical Court had jurisdiction over divorce and parties where parties
were Israeli citizens married in Israel, living in Israel, and practicing Judaism,
and wife was given notice and opportunity to participate in proceedings); Chaudry v. Chaudry, 388 A.2d 1000, 1005 (N.J. Sup. Ct. App. Div.1978) (holding Pakistani divorce valid
where Pakistan had jurisdiction to enter a divorce because of the Pakistan citizenship
of the parties, the wife's residence in Pakistan, the judgment of an appellate court
in Pakistan validating the divorce, and the wife's notice of divorce and participation
in appellate proceedings; further holding that the reason for the divorce, the incompatibility
of the parties by reason of the wife's emotional problems and the failure to effect
a reconciliation is "not such a departure from grounds for divorce in this State as
to justify nonrecognition on public policy grounds"); Kugler v. Haitian Tours, Inc., 293 A.2d 706, 709 (N.J. Super. Ct. Ch. Div. 1972) (enjoining sales of Haitian divorce
packages in New Jersey because such divorces would not be recognized in New Jersey,
given that Haitian law does not require domicile of either parties to a divorce and
only requires a fleeting transitory presence).
Guyanese Law on Divorce
Because New Jersey courts inquire as to whether a foreign court had jurisdiction over
the parties and divorce proceedings, we sought the foreign law expertise of the Law
Library of Congress (LLC) to determine whether the divorce at issue would be valid
under Guyanese law. The LLC provided an opinion letter on this issue dated July 31,
2009 (copy attached). The LLC has advised us that the laws and procedures respecting
divorce in Guyana are contained in the Matrimonial Causes Act (the Matrimonial Act)
and the Rules of Court (Matrimonial Causes) (the Rules). The law in force in 2000,
at the time of this divorce proceeding and the most current available law are the
According to the LLC, the procedures for requesting a divorce require the presentation
of a petition to the High Court either by the husband or the wife. The Rules require
the petition to state whether there have been previous proceedings respecting the
marriage, provide a description of the husband, list the residences of the parties
and indicate the domicile of the parties, unless the wife has a different domicile,
in which case only the domicile of the husband need be stated. The Rules further require
the filing of an affidavit stating that the facts set out in the petition are true.
Again, according to the LLC, grounds for divorce, if submitted by the husband, are
adultery, malicious desertion with or without adultery, cruelty, or unsound mind on
the part of the respondent. The Matrimonial Act does not define the term "malicious
Neither the Matrimonial Act nor the Rules expressly state what is required for a court
in Guyana to have jurisdiction to grant a divorce. There is no requirement in the
Matrimonial Act or the Rules that a petitioner for divorce actually be a resident
in the country, and there are no reported cases from Guyana in which such a requirement
has been judicially established. The LLC noted, however, that the Matrimonial Act
gives the High Court jurisdiction under the common law in matrimonial causes. In determining
what the guiding principles of common law are, Guyanese courts turn to English common
law as guidance. At English common law, a court may assert jurisdiction not conferred
on it by a statute if the petitioner is domiciled in England or Wales, even if the
parties were married abroad or a breakdown of the marriage occurred abroad. Under
English common law, there is a distinction between a domicile of origin and a domicile
of choice. A person's place of birth is normally his or her domicile of origin, whereas
a domicile of choice is acquired by residing in another jurisdiction with the intention
of making that jurisdiction his or her domicile of origin. When a domicile of choice
is abandoned, a person reacquires his or her domicile of origin. The LLC advises that
a Guyanese divorce petition must state the places of residence and at least the domicile
of the petitioning husband; this suggests that a petitioning husband must at least
be domiciled in Guyana to be able to obtain a divorce in that country
The Rules, like New Jersey law, require that parties be served notice of the divorce
proceedings. The Rules require the service of a citation under the seal of the Court
to each respondent in the case and they require the service of the citation to be
"personal" unless the court grants permission for substitution of another form of
service when personal service cannot be effected. After service has been effected,
the citation must be returned and the certificate of service contained in it must
be endorsed. Moreover, the Rules require that the petitioner file an affidavit stating
that the respondent was "duly cited and has not appeared" before being able to proceed
with the divorce action against a respondent who does not appear. Thus, attendance
of both parties is not required in divorce proceedings in Guyana. Judges, however,
do have discretion to decline to proceed ex parte if they do not believe it would
be "expedient" to hear the case.
Finally, The LLC advised that a divorce decree is to be a decree nisi when it is first
issued. A petitioner can petition for a decree nisi to be made absolute six weeks
after it is obtained. During this period, the respondent can contest the divorce,
even if she did not appear prior to the granting of the decree nisi. A divorce is
not final until it is made absolute. Under Guyanese case law, a decree absolute is
in effect from the day it is granted.
Turning to the facts of this case, the LLC concluded that the divorce decree appears
to comply with the provisions of Guyana's matrimonial causes legislation and rules.
First, with regard to domicile, we note that under Guyanese law, the NH must have
been domiciled in Guyana in order to be able to obtain a divorce. He was not required
to be a resident of Guyana. In this matter, the NH was born in Guyana, making Guyana
his domicile of origin, and the domicile he would reacquire if he subsequently had
a domicile of choice (such as New Jersey) and had abandoned it. Further, Guyanese
law required the NH to state both his residence and his domicile on the divorce petition
and then to file an affidavit stating that the facts set out in the petition were
true. Absent information that the husband perjured himself in the petition and the
affidavit, it appears that a Guyanese court could assert jurisdiction to grant this
divorce decree based on the NH's stated Guyanese domicile, despite his seeming residence
in New Jersey.
Second, with regard to the service of notice, Guyanese law required the NH to personally
serve the respondent with a citation under seal of the court. After service, the citation
must have been returned and the certificate of service contained in it endorsed. Thus,
the Guyanese court had before it proof of service on claimant. Further, Claimant has
stated that even though she did not respond, she did receive notice of the divorce
action in Guyana. We believe that the divorce decree complies with New Jersey's due
process requirements. Compare Hirschkorn, 2008 WL 695892, at *8 (upholding Israeli divorce where wife was given fair notice
of Israeli proceeding similar to the New Jersey procedural rules) with Ali v. Ali, 652 A.2d 253, 258 (N.J. Sup. Ct. Ch. Div. 1994) (finding Sharia Court divorce decree
offended all due process requirements and was therefore unenforceable given that wife
was never personally served with notice of proceedings but instead her notice consisted
of her relatives knowing of divorce proceeding and an alleged phone call with her
husband regarding the proceedings) (findings questioned subsequently by New Jersey
courts regarding child custody, not divorce issue).
Third, the LLC has advised that the divorce in the instant case appears to comply
with other provisions of Guyana's matrimonial legislation and rules. The divorce decree
appears to have been filed with the judge in August, making it a decree nisi, and
granted six weeks later in September 2000, at which time the decree nisi became a
decree absolute. The six weeks between the time that a divorce decree is first issued
and made absolute provided the claimant with an opportunity to contest the divorce.
A decree absolute is in effect from the day it is granted, so NH's and Claimant's
divorce was in effect as of September 4, 2000, as indicated by the divorce decree
document CPS provided.
Finally, the divorce decree in this case was granted on the grounds that the NH stated
that claimant was "guilty of malicious desertion" and that the respondent failed to
respond to the petition. The LLC has advised that Guyana's Matrimonial Causes Act
does not define the term "malicious desertion." New Jersey similarly recognizes desertion
as a ground for divorce. N.J.S.A. 2A:34-2. We believe a New Jersey court would likely
find that the grounds for divorce in this case do not offend New Jersey public policy.
See Chaudry, 388 A.2d at 1005 (finding that Pakistani divorce did not offend New Jersey public
policy where grounds for divorce – incompatibility of parties by reason of the wife's
emotional problems – were not such a departure from New Jersey grounds for divorce).
Thus, we conclude that a New Jersey court would recognize the validity of the NH's
Guyanese divorce.
New Jersey Law on Presumption in Favor of the Second Marriage Even if there are doubts
concerning the NH's and claimant's divorce, a New Jersey court may still find the
divorce valid under the presumption of validity doctrine. New Jersey law recognizes
a strong presumption favoring the validity of the latest of two successive marriages
involving a common participant. See Prater v. Aftra Health Fund, 23 F. Supp. 2d 505, 508 (D.C.N.J. 1998); see also POMS GN 00305.035; PR 06210.033. The party challenging the validity of the second marriage has the burden of proving
by clear and convincing evidence that (1) there was a prior marriage, (2) the prior
marriage was valid, and (3) the prior marriage was terminated by divorce. See Newburgh v. Arrigo, 443 A.2d 1031, 1035 (N.J. 1982); see also Prater, 23 F. Supp 2d at 508 (finding that wife's assertion that a final judgment of divorce
was never entered was not clear and convincing evidence to rebut presumption that
marriage to decedent had been terminated by divorce).
When the validity of a foreign divorce is attacked, the challenger "must prove all
defects, including lack of jurisdiction in the foreign courts." Id; see also Raspa v. Raspa, 504 A.2d 683, 685-688 (N.J. Sup. Ct. 1985). In Raspa, plaintiff's current husband attacked the validity of plaintiff's previous divorce
which was obtained in Mexico. In that divorce, plaintiff never received a summons
and complaint, never appeared in any divorce proceedings in Mexico, received the final
decree of divorce in the mail, and was told by someone that notice of action was published
in a newspaper. The court found that plaintiff's current husband failed to prove by
clear and convincing evidence that plaintiff's ex-husband did not go to or live in
Mexico at the time of the divorce proceedings, that the ex-husband obtained a mail-order
divorce, or that notice was not in fact published. Thus, even though there were doubts
as to whether the manner in which plaintiff's divorce was obtained comported with
New Jersey's due process requirements, the court found that the challenger had failed
to meet his burden of disproving every reasonable possibility that the Mexican divorce
was valid. Id.
Here, there is no evidence that any party is challenging the validity of the divorce.
Further, since there does not appear to be clear and convincing evidence to the contrary,
a New Jersey court will likely find that the NH's subsequent marriage was valid and,
by extension, that the NH and the claimant are no longer married.
Finally, based on the date of marriage in the certificate of marriage you have provided
(August 14, 1990) and the date on which the divorce decree became absolute (September
4, 2000), Claimant's marriage lasted at least ten years. POMS GN00305.035.
Based on the foregoing, a New Jersey court will likely find the divorce between the
NH and claimant was valid. Further, prior to the divorce, Claimant's marriage to the
NH lasted at least ten years.
Stephen P. C~ Acting Regional Chief Counsel
By: Joanne J~ Assistant Regional Counsel
1 CPS provided us with the following documents: a marriage license and a certificate
of marriage for the NH and the claimant, a document from the Guyanese High Court of
the Supreme Court of Judicature, dated August 13, 2000, and entered September 4, 2000,
regarding a decree of divorce between the NH and the claimant, and a record of marriage
for the NH and Yvonne D. A~. Other facts are derived from a memorandum and e-mail
correspondence between CPS and the Office of General Counsel. This opinion is based
on the facts as presented.
2 To be entitled to benefits as an independently entitled divorced spouse, claimant
must also have been divorced from the insured for at least two years. 20 C.F.R. §
404.331(f) CPS has also provided us with a marriage license showing that the NH married
Yvonne D. A~, also born in Guyana, on February 14, 2002 in Plainfield, New Jersey.

My father has been known to tell a story about
a man he used to work with at a rock quarry.
One day this fellow was dragging a large chain across the yard at the quarry when his boss approached him and asked him why he was dragging the chain. He gave the boss a strange look and replied, "Have you ever tried to push one?"
In some respects, cows are like the chain being drug around the rock quarry. If you want to move them, you'd better not try and push them.
Cows like to be moved slow and steady. One of the biggest mistakes that people make that are just learning to move cows is sudden, jerky movements. Cows move at their own pace and if a person tries to push them or hurry them along, it just makes them balk.
This happens quite commonly when trying to separate one cow from a group and push her toward a door or gate. Since cows are herd animals, they really prefer to stay with other cows. But, since we sometimes have to give a cow individual attention like a rectal exam for pregnancy, separation from the herd becomes necessary.
On many dairy farms, the cows are allowed to roam the barn freely so they can get up to eat at their leisure. At least twice a day, the cows are gathered and milked in the milking parlor. Now, moving the whole group to the milking parlor is relatively easy, despite the few obligatory stragglers in the group, because the cows are allowed to remain together.
It's when we have to separate one from the others that causes the cow stress. In some herds we do the pregnancy checking in the milking parlor, only we do it one cow at a time.
Bringing an individual cow into the milking parlor, which is used to arriving with the group, can sometimes be a challenge. Invariably, once a cow realizes she is separated from the group, she will retreat and try to group up again. This is where the experienced cow handler works his or her magic.
Now recognize that I've probably been cussed more for my errors in moving cows than for any other mistakes I've made. I am naturally inpatient and cows hate that. But on days that I haven't drunk too much coffee, I concentrate on moving slow as I try to separate a cow from her group.
One trick that cows like to pull is the double diversion. This happens when one cow needs to be separated, but she pairs up with a buddy.
The pair can be moved together, but separating them becomes nearly impossible. Frustration ensues causing sudden movements and once that happens, it's game over.
Most dairy cows today are housed on concrete. While necessary to prevent manure runoff and also to prevent extremely muddy conditions, concrete flooring can be difficult for cows to negotiate. It becomes slippery over time.
This is where knowing not to push cows pays off. When a cow is approached slowly by a person on concrete, the cow will slowly walk away. But if a person approaches her fast or makes any sudden movements, she'll try to run away and wind up looking like Bambi on the frozen lake.
Slow, deliberate movements around cows keep them calm and easy to work. Even once the animal has been separated, she still hates to be surprised. In fact, she will endure the rectal pregnancy exam without objection as long as there are no sudden movements.
Patience is required if you want to move a cow from point A to point B. Pushing a cow will get you nothing but frustration, just like pushing a chain.

I thought I would try a few ideas for variations on traditional mince pies.
Here are the results…
Samosa's & Hearts
You will need the following:
- approx 800g of traditional mince meat, I used Waitrose luxury mince meat (vegetarian)
- a pack of filo pastry – for the samosa's
- pack of puff pastry – for the harts
- a pastry brush and a little water in a cup
- your choice of cookie cutter, I used a heart
- icing sugar for dusting and
- flour to prepare the surface
For the Hearts
First thing is to pre-heat the oven to 220 degrees.
Then lightly dust the work surface and roll out the puff pastry.
Cut out the shapes and add about 1tsp of mincemeat to the middle of each heart.
Pop these into the pre-heated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes.
Turn down the oven to 150 degrees and allow each layer to dry out, this should take about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and cool.
When they are ready to serve dust them lightly with icing sugar and enjoy!
For the Samosa's
Now this is a little tricky to explain, easier to show you, however here goes…
Start by opening the filo pastry and laying it flat on the surface. Divide the sheets into batches of two layers and then slice into approx 6cm strips. Taking the first strip place 1tsp of mincemeat into the center of the left side of the pastry strip and start by folding the corner in to create a triangle.
I then moistened the edges with water/pastry brush and folded the piece over to form a triangle. Continue to fold until you reached the end of the strip, sealing the edges.
Once you have cut and rolled each one, place onto a baking tray and into the pre-heated oven to bake for 8-10 minutes. The pastry should just be starting to brown on the edges. Remove from heat and cool. Dust with icing sugar if you want and tada! festive samosa's to go.
These were by far the favourite for my guests!
So please try and let me know what you think 🙂

I wrote my last article for the Lusaka Times about poaching. But since submission, I have had several more direct experiences with poaching in the park.
Last night as my scout and I were looking for the baboons at close but different sleeping sites I heard a gunshot just near to camp. When George and I met up he informed me that he called it in over the radio, that there were two scout patrols camping within a few kilometers, and he pointed the direction of the gunshot. I clearly thought it came from a direction closer to camp. Ten minutes ago (9am) I heard a gunshot. This was different from any shot I have heard before. So close that I could hear the full reverberation after the shot was fired. Within seconds I heard running. My scout George and the camp attendant David were coming straight to my camp. They confirmed the shot with me and passed by. George was armed. This gunshot was so close that it made more sense for my scout to directly try and track the poacher. Meaning he believed he could possibly intercept and apprehend the poacher. The past few weeks poaching has been very heavy in this part of the park. We hear multiple gunshots a day. Las week we saw an injured puku. It had been shot and was quivering but when we approached it took off. George explained that often after shooting an animal, poachers fail to locate it and it dies a slow death. That was the fate of this animal. Later in the same afternoon we saw vultures fly up out of the woodland. We approached. I thought it would be the puku we had seen earlier. It was a different animal. George estimated that it had been dead three days, it also was killed by a poacher.
Another distressing indirect sign of poachers was seeing a bare human footprint on the road right next to a baboon footprint. Both were fresh. Most of the poachers don't wear shoes. This enables them to run faster and go undetected in the forest. This sight hit me hard and the events of the last several days made me realize how vulnerable the animals in Kasanka National Park are.
So the above was going to be my blog post for the day but then something much more horrendous happened in the afternoon. George and I were out the same afternoon looking for the baboons. We heard a strange sound. At first I thought it might be baboons but then as we stopped to listen it sounded more like a whinnying. George asked if we should follow the noise, I agreed. We came to where the woodland meets the grassland and saw lots of puku (a type of antelope) standing around, staring in one direction and alarm calling. George thought that the puku must have been fighting. We decided to move on when something shot up out of the bushes. It was a puku leaping and struggling. It was caught in a wire snare. Immediately we radioed the main office to tell them about the animal and as if we could shoot it. By the time the warden came to the radio the puku was dead. It's neck had snapped. So it was lucky, as often when an animal gets caught in a snare it can be a very slow and painful death. We were instructed to go back to camp so George could fetch David the camp attendant. By now it was dark. They were to go back to the animal cut the snare and bring the carcass back to camp, therefore ensuring that the poachers would not get their bounty.

Portable Firefox/Thunderbird standardized
If you are familar to the Mozilla community, you should have probably heard of Portable Firefox and Portable Thunderbird. Today mozilla.org just announced that these 2 wonderful applications will support an new open standard platform for USB drives, known as U3:
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – January 7th, 2005 – The Mozilla Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving choice and promoting innovation on the Internet, today announced that its Mozilla Firefox web browser and Mozilla Thunderbird e-mail client will support the new U3 standard for managing applications and data on USB flash drives, allowing people to easily carry, store and launch Mozilla software from any PC. As an industry consortium founded by SanDisk (NASDAQ: SNDK) and M-Systems (NASDAQ: FLSH) along with other industry leading software vendors and content providers, U3 looks to expand the USB Flash Drive technology market beyond storage by creating an open standard platform to attract a community of independent developers to build applications for U3 devices. Through Mozilla's vibrant open source development community, an existing project to provide portable versions of Firefox and Thunderbird for USB flash drives, led by volunteer developers, will be extended to embrace this new standard.

Corn Flakes is the one cereal that you would not be able to identify, were you illiterate (and in the breakfast aisle). Shredded Wheat, for example, has a photo of cereal, milk, a spoon, a bowl, strawberries, and sometimes a festive tablecloth. Corn Flakes only shows Darth Vader, a light saber, and young Darth Vader. You would be prone to think that the box contained evil. Or electricity.

It's good that i hate corn flakes so when I forget how to read, I will shy away from the evil.

Dec. 14-15: Viewings and Funeral for Sis Darlene Handfield. A life well lived. Thanks to our conference family, Bro. Handfield's family and friends for all the love and support that was shown.

Another quiet week. Time is speeding by so fast. Not done much except Valentine's. Had the loveliest night, the best Valentine's ever. The snow has finally all gone thanks to rain during the week and the temperature has finally risen so I'm not moaning about it being like Moscow outside. At one point I was wearing 5 layers into work and still feeling cold with the heating on. Still had no luck finding the Kit Kat Chunky Champions, might just vote for the white chocolate one anyway haha then I might get one!
My Valentine's card. LE Love Hearts tin, I had to get one as they are my favourite sweets and remind me of my boy. Easter chocolates, the last bag of mini Love Hearts in the shop and M&S cashews nuts <3 I always wish graze would just send me cashews, chocolate & honeycomb flapjack and the herb garden haha. Panda pjs and knickers. Valentine's red roses <3. Skinny chinos addiction, the pink colour look amazing in real life! Dolls hosue necklace. My two babies.
Scheduled this post on Friday as today is the joint birthday party of one of my little brothers and my brothers girlfriend. Me and the boy will be helping my Mum set up and do all the food etc. By this time I expect to be stuffed full of buffet food, face ache from smiling for dozens of photos and feeling grateful for my amazing family and boyfriend. Hope you've all had good weeks.
Em x

I visited earlier just to see if by chance I had missed a post [I hadn't] and now here you are...I've missed you. I had to laugh because you know I never sleep [hormones] and I too have a dog in heat! When are we going to that tropical island? :) Glad your back and please tell the girls good luck, I'm betting they will do great!ReplyDelete
I'm glad to see you back! I was wondering about you just this morning. :)ReplyDelete
I try to get away with popcorn for dinner after far less exciting lunches. We usually enjoy our popcorn dinners with fresh veggies and green smoothie - that usually helps push it in to meal category.
The deer pictures are fabulous. Good luck to the girls on their tests.ReplyDelete
Hey, it doesn't look like the fence is working.ReplyDelete
Popcorn and a movie...dinner and a date! You can totally make that work.
I'm sure your girls will do great...because they care!
I think popcorn for dinner sounds delicious! I'd have it every night if I could get by with it. I know how life gets too busy, believe me, I know. Those deer sure are cute. I saw a whole herd the other day in our woods. I couldn't believe there were so many! Glad you're back.ReplyDelete
CIndy Bee
I know that sleep deprived feeling oh so well...I could totally do popcorn for dinner...actually I think I have. Hope your girls do well with their testingReplyDelete
I'm glad for the explanation - I have been muttering to myself, "where the heck is Debbie?" Yes, yes, popcorn for dinner!!ReplyDelete
I've missed you!ReplyDelete
Do I see a Holly H. doll in the cute wicker pram?
I'm sure the girls will sail through the state testing, good teacher!
The deer are lovely! Great photos!
LOVE your deer pics! They are so beautiful to watch.ReplyDelete
Whoa, that is a LOT of deer. They are fabulous creatures and so different from what I see around here (mostly birds or varmints). Hope the tests went well!ReplyDelete
So glad your back..I know for one I sure have missed you!! I hope everyone does well with their testing..smile.. I understand hormones even at my young age of 42 I a have started taking vitamins not sure if that helps much...love to know what you are doing to keep yourself feeling balanced.ReplyDelete
Well, it would have been nice to have read that you were on a far off island enjoying yourself, but educating your girls is a nice thing too! Hope they did well on their testing. BTW, popcorn is a perfect meal.ReplyDelete
Hello hello - I haven't been on that desert island either, but lots of little lambs and shepherding skills have been learned. Hormones - yes I know those - embrace them and bless them - its the only way :-)ReplyDelete
You have been missed! Life does get busy though... too bad you weren't on an island sipping a fruity drink, huh? The picture of the deer is awesome... thanks for sharing them.ReplyDelete
I hope you enjoyed a popcorn dinner! ;) And, I'm glad you had a decent night's sleep and a nap. Being short on sleep sure makes life a little harder! Good luck with the testing. I know they will do well. blessings and hugs ~ tannaReplyDelete
Popcorn for dinner sounds good to me, Debbie, especially when I have been busy like you have. I thought we had a lot of deer here on our farm but your head count is so much more. ~smile~ they are beautiful. Glad to see you back.ReplyDelete
Enjoy your day.
Oh yes the testing I remember that from when we lived in Florida here in California it is not required. We have been cracking the books as well. No tropical vacations here either lol....Shed antlers interesting!! ~Enjoy the rest of your weekend good catching up with you ~Love HeatherReplyDelete
Yay! I'm so glad you're back. Praying for you all to get through testing without any hiccups! (I'm so glad that part of my life is over LOL!)ReplyDelete
I never liked testing as a kid. It made me nervous -- especially the timed tests. Popcorn for supper-- yes! Especially on Sunday night.ReplyDelete
Dear Deb,ReplyDelete
Good luck with all the schooling, and thanks for the photos of Muleys! Makes me miss Idaho. :)
A happy Sunday to all,
Welcome back! I know a beautiful tropical island you can use the next time you need a retreat :-)ReplyDelete
So glad you are back and popcorn sounds wonderful for dinner.ReplyDelete
I am so glad I am finished with that part until the tests for college.
One more to get is his drivers license. Life just goes by too fast.
So glad you updated. Though it would have been nice if you were on a beach drinking fruity drinks and soaking up some rays. :)
popcorn for dinner sounds great to me! We're winding up our school around here....won't be long and it'll be summer! whoo too!ReplyDelete
I just shared the other day what has been keeping me busy. [o= And I am soooooooo sorry about the lack of sleep. ((HUGS)) Praying you get more good sleep. And I hope you share some pics of all these wonderful creative adventures you are having. Looking at those deer makes me think you live close to me. [o;ReplyDelete
Blessings and ((HUGS))
***squeals*** There you are!!ReplyDelete
I have missed you, friend!
Loving the pics in this post...from the studious girls to the frolicking deer. (Sorry you didn't have any photos of Debbie sipping fruity drinks from a coconut. :D )
Absolutely love the photos of the deer - just had to get that out of the way first!!ReplyDelete
We use the same spelling curriculum - it is a good one, isn't it?
Popcorn? Yes. Do it!ReplyDelete
Deer in your yard, too? As pesky as they can be to my plants, I'll never tire of their beauty; what a gift they are.
Blessings and best wishes to your girls during testing,
I had you down as on holiday. Or still wondering where your memory card had disappeared to. Getting ready for tests somehow seems more plausible now. Hope it all goes well. Not sure about popcorn, but I always like the idea of breakfast cereal for an easy supper. Haven't done it yet, but its there in reserve!ReplyDelete
I've missed you! Glad you haven't been ill, and you have just been busy with school stuff....Pennsylvania requires testing in 3rd,5th, and 8th grades. This year we have no one needing testing but next year Rachel and Sarah. Kyle gets a reprieve for a few years yet!ReplyDelete
I had a nap this afternoon too - to many late nights with early mornings....dogs, kids, fun all the cause!
- AnonymousMay 1, 2012 at 6:28 AM
Boy, do I wish I could get away with popcorn for dinner some nights! It would solve a lot of problems :-) I admire homeschoolers because it's certainly not something I could do.ReplyDelete
Well Praise God we don't have to test here in Texas...it is a total free state for home schooling...good thing, I might have stopped years ago.ReplyDelete
Blessings to you all and those deers...how wonderful and beautiful.
Now hormones....if you find something that works pass it on...this roller coaster emotions are for the birds, well I wouldn't wish it on them either.
Nice to see you...
Popcorn...let's see, corn(vegetable) and fiber...it will do. Plus it is so very good! We have popcorn suppers on a regular basis on Sunday nights.ReplyDelete
Glad you are back, don't the days just rush by? I like the sound of your naps.
I've been largely absent myself but did notice that I hadn't seen an update from you. I'm glad it was just busyness and preparation.ReplyDelete
And well, hormones, but we won't mention those.
The photos of the bounding deer are just beautiful to me.
Glad to see you back. My weeks have sounded similar. Doing all those must-dos and not a whole lot of anything fun. Popcorn for dinner sounds good to me too.ReplyDelete

Modern facilities and office buildings are full of devices and services from network connections and access control to catering and personal services like laundry. Even the basic operation of bulding infrastructure involves many parties or one with wide set of capabilities. Intelligent devices and services add new requirements and opportunities for both tenants and landlords as well as partners in management, maintenance and operation.
As in any service business the ability to bring new services to market is elementary to service providers in the facilities space – from plant maintenance to buildings to office space leasing. Opportunities to use data to broaden services, to provide smart services and to apply service ecosystem thinking will provide better working, living and commuting to end customers.
The ability to efficiently monetize the new services is another key topic. Smart appliances and services together with more and more data available from the Internet of Things (IoT) provide for launching new dynamic services, which are designed with customizable content and pricing, and utilize modern pay-per-use and pay-per-outcome pricing models. Connected data and digitalized processes also create a backbone for new real-time service models from service activation and fulfilment to change management to billing and financial sharing/clearing with partners.
Service contract and service subscription management is needed to enable spot on user experience and to ensure that correct services are available and billed.
High operational efficiency is definitely needed when services have custom flavor and/or have a low unit price. Manual front and back office processes severely affect the profitability as well as speed of service. Processes with manual steps seldom provide customers the required level of transparency and ability to easily validate service usage and bills. When services are provided with partners, a smooth end-to-end process throughout the service ecosystem can really make or break the service experience and profitability.
Smoother, smarter and broader end-to-end service to end customers.
More euros per square for workspace providers.
More care and value adding services provided to facility owners.
More service targets for facility and building maintenance providers.
Increasing number of installed and available devices and services requires improved efficiency. At the same time increasing number of IoT devices and data requires automation and sophisticated integration. Customers are increasingly expecting custom-fit services. Standard service packages are not satisfactory. Service contracts and individual subscriptions should be mass-tailored. While service fulfilment has some options and variation, sales packages and price drivers and prices may vary customer to customer.
Without end-to-end digitalization including automated customized monetization modern service ecosystem requirements would lead to massive amount of manual work, low profitability and eventually customer dissatisfaction.
Good Sign Software offers tools for Facilities and Workspaces Service Providers for to be able to manage the changing business landscape with capability to introduce innovative new business models, improve efficiency by eliminating manual work and increase customer value by flexibility of customer centric services processing, product packaging and pricing models.

True end-to-end digitalization together with rule-based pricing and costing will increase internal efficiency, improve cost structure and orchestrate automated actions and financial transactions - also throughout an ecosystem of partners.
Implementing Good Sign does not mean replacement of existing ERP as Good Sign complements the current IT landscape bringing new capabilities for dynamic services and billing triggers.

Our Customers are 100% guaranteed for being able to launch new digital service business models and pricing schemes.

Beyond trends: the architectural styles that have become modern classics
Trends are ephemeral details that start by proclaiming "this place is of the moment" and often, by the 10-year mark, end up advertising "this place is so yesterday".
The "on-trend" cycle is the oil of design marketing, yet the designers and architects confident enough to do their own thing usually leap over or ignore short-shelf fashionability.
What's become tired? Statement anything. Ply cladding and cabinetry. Corrugated iron. Subway tiling. Low, bottom-heavy furniture – now it's all about spindly legs and "floating" elements.
Certain homewares, architectural forms and building materials, however, endure to become modern classics. Here are a few:
Always a popular trim for the classic black/white schemes – not to mention 10 Downing Street, the world's most photographed front door – black became hyper-chic a decade ago.
First used in commercial applications, it kept getting edgier and more ubiquitous until it became the exterior of whole houses and skyscrapers.
Photo: Emily Bartlett
"Black was confronting," says Melbourne architect Simon Perkins of Pleysier Perkins. "But it works so well with greenery, fences and red brick walls that it's now almost a neutral. There's a timelessness about it."

While it seems odd to talk of a product invented by the Romans as enduring beyond the trend, the material was reintroduced into building design in the mid-2000s. Even an architect like Williams Smart, of the benchmarking Sydney practice Smart Design Studio, is bemused by clients beginning to state how much they love concrete.
Photo: Sharrin Rees
"They didn't say that 10 years ago when it became 'in' ", he says. "Now it is just a material that is here and present; a material we use a lot where appropriate."
Concrete is the substance of the Smart's celebrated Indigo Slam, which last year won state, national and international acclaim.
Wood battening
Combining two ongoing trends that began with the rediscovery of timber, especially Australia's plantation-grown hardwoods, as an "honest-to-material" material, wood-battened fencing, facades and semi-porous screening becomes ever more inventive.
It does much simultaneously by providing shading, privacy, decoration and relief for overlooked neighbours.
Mosman Bay house by Iredale Pedersen Hook Architects. Photo: Peter Bennetts
To protect from WA's harshest sunlight, the undulating, north-facing upper floor of an elongated Mosman Bay house drew vertical and "up-cycled" jarrah battens all the way along the new residence. The battening begins as cladding and ends as deck screening.
"The screen changes," says Adrian Iredale of Perth's Iredale Pedersen Hook Architects, "finally folding down to a trellis on a horizontal plane."
Clerestory windows
Melbourne architect Steve Domoney uses both clerestory, high-light windows that look at the sky and low lights, floor-level glazing elements that look into garden beds, ponds or sparkling pools – because they deliver so much.
They "float" an over-mantling roof-form "lifting a roof horizontally" and generating "a greater sense of volume to important rooms". They allow "vistas to sky and to understorey plantings", thus framing desirable outlook while parrying ugly views.
Domoney uses clerestory windows "to float" the roofs. Photo: Derek Swalwell
High- and low-light windows make for a "fundamentally different way of making a hole in a wall," Domoney says. "Instead of looking at neighbouring roofs or fence lines, glass walls with solid central insets can become strategic and provide places to put in storage or equipment cabinetry.
"For light and ventilation, high and low lights are more efficient than popping conventional windows in walls."
