Many thanks to the exhibitors for kindly entering their dogs for me to judge, I really enjoyed my day, a few tough decisions but I was happy with my winners.
I'm not one to preach however what is happening to our lovely Springer head and expression 😭 also presentation left a lot to be desired in quite a few cases, I understand not everyone has "the gift" of presenting to perfection but it was obvious some had not even seen a bath, I don't just judge on presentation but in close decisions it helps

In a global survey, one marketing firm found that 90% of survey respondents believed individual marketing should be priority for their organizations. Yet, only half of marketing professionals utilize data to make their communications more individualized for each respondent.
This demonstrates an obvious disconnect between marketing goals and actions, perhaps because marketers aren't quite sure how to best tailor their communications to their audiences. Whether you're marketing for a small or large firm, the following information can help to individualize and improve your marketing communications.
Speak Directly to Website Visitors
Google Analytics can tell you nearly everything about who is visiting your website, from their age and geographic location to their behavior (whether they are a new visitor or a frequent one, for instance). This kind of data can be a goldmine for law firms looking to optimize their websites and more effectively communicate with their website visitors.
Take this example: a DUI defense firm realizes that roughly half of their website visitors are 25 to 34 years old, and that many of these visitors land on the homepage multiple times yet do not convert into leads or sales. They design a pop-up box that promotes a free comprehensive infographic—a trendy marketing piece, particularly among younger audiences—explaining the various types of field sobriety tests in exchange for an email address in order to gain more leads and potential sales.
This is just one of the many ways that both small and large law firms' marketing plans can incorporate website analytics to tailor their site layout and features, and communicate more effectively with audiences.
Create More Personalized Emails and Improve Campaign Performance
Would including a personalized greeting at the start in your email communications or adding a geographic term (such as a local neighborhood or metropolitan area) in your email subject lines improve open and click through rates? Utilize data to find out!
Determine whether these tweaks can make a difference in your email campaign performance by assessing initial performance, experimenting with changes, and analyzing follow-up data.
Be Present On Social Media When (and Where) You Need To
With so much information hitting social media every hour of every day, posts can quickly get buried if they're not shared and spread fast enough. That's why speaking the right language, and cultivating a social media presence on the right platforms at the right times is so essential for both small and large firms' marketing efforts. To find out where you need to be and when, take a look at your firm's past posts, or run your data through paid tools likeHootsuite or free ones such as Buffer. Discover:
- Which of your posts are performing above expectations
- Track social demographics
- Analyze which keywords within your space are trending
Then, use the ideal tone, keyword phrases, and content to speak directly to the demographic(s) you want to reach.

When you need to move house it can be very stressful, that is why FurnitureRemovals.biz only use professional companies you can trust and rely on. We have some tips on how to choose the right furniture removal company for you.
Find Furniture Removal Companies
You need to plan your move properly otherwise it will be a rushed and stressful event. Ask friends or relatives who have moved recently if they can recommend a specific company. If you have a preferred furniture removal company do some research on the quality and professionalism of their work, how long they have been in business and if they operate nationwide.
What Services Do They Offer?
Ask the furniture removal company for a list of all the services they offer. Get clarity on what is included in the price and what will be at extra cost. Things to consider will include:
- Do they supply the packaging, boxes, bubble wrap etc.?
- Do they supply special materials for more expensive equipment (TV, computers)?
- Do they offer free blanket wrap services?
- What policies do they have in place to prepare your appliances for transport?
- Do they pack your entire home or do they only offer truck loading and off-loading services?
- Will they also transport your belongings to short term storage facilities?
- Will they unpack all your items and dispose of the boxes and packing materials?
What Insurance Do They Offer?
It is very important to have peace of mind when it comes to moving home. What measures does the furniture removal company have in place to ensure your furniture arrives safely? Most removal companies will provide insurance, but be sure to check what it covers and whether there are exclusions. For example anything you packed may not be covered for breakage. Does the insurance cover all risks or only goods and furniture in transit? Also try to find out how long the process for an insurance claim is.
How Much Do They Charge?
It is important to get 3 or more quotes and be sure to compare apples with apples. This will help you get an accurate comparison of their costs. Don't always go for the cheapest as they will probably offer less than other moving companies. Decide on a budget and try to find a moving company that will give you the most.

I haven't reviewed lashes for a while and I am super excited to bring you another false lash review! I love buying fake eyelashes and will not leave the house without wearing a pair, I first started buying the really cheap ones off of EBay and Amazon and to be honest they actually lasted a long time and worked really well for me, I then started buying more expensive lashes and now I am just obsessed🎀
The first pair I am reviewing is by the youtuber/make up artist Ohmygeeee, and these lashes were obviously in the style ohmygeeee. These lashes are gorgeous and I was so happy that I ordered them because Gee is one of my favourite youtubers and I love her make up and style! The lashes were £8.95 and they felt like they were more expensive, they were beautifully made and I loved the style of the lashes and the way they went longer at the end of the lash. Below is what these eyelashes looked like on me and I am honestly in love!💫
Next I am reviewing the second pair of lashes I brought from the same lash range…
The next pair is by the Makeup artist Chloe Elizabeth who is very famous on Instagram and she also owns her own salon as a make up artist with her best friend. I was so excited to order these lashes as I love Chloe and the make up looks she creates and I loved her eyelashes and have wanted them for a while but never got round to ordering them! These lashes also cost £8.95 and I couldn't wait to receive them. Once again they were beautifully made and I loved the style of these lashes, I love that they are fuller in the middle of the lashes and shorter at both ends. Below is what they looked like on me and once again I love them!✨
Let me know in the comments your thoughts and whether there is anything you would like me to review🎀💕 Also I am close to 100 followers so please give this post a like and follow me because I would really appreciate it! Until next time, Beccy x

Today is the last day of our t-shirt booster campaign! So help us continue our rescue work by going here: booster.com/littlewanderers2 .
It has been a pleasure getting to know all of you! Through thick and thin, you have been there for us, and we truly appreciate it. You have been so instrumental in helping us take cats and kittens off the street and into loving homes, and as you know, this requires a lot of work and expense!
We rescue cats from the worst possible areas for homeless animals. There's a reason that other rescues don't go into the areas that we do. We encounter physical obstacles, cultural ones, hostility, and we have even been verbally and physically attacked. And because these animals have had to fend for themselves for so long, they need additional veterinary care. Some of this vet care can be extensive; taking months, and involve major surgeries and treatments, long hospitalizations, and blood transfusions.
Where many other places would put these animals down, we do not. We give them every chance they are owed. It's not their fault they have been born into this world at the wrong time and place , and they deserve our every effort at a better life. Alot of people think we are crazy for doing what we do, but we wouldn't have it any other way!
Please help us continue to help them! Without you, we would only be able to wish about making things better for homeless cats and kittens. But we don't want to wish , we want to DO! This is the last day of our t-shirt booster, and with it comes an opportunity to save a life. NOW is the time to make a difference . And you'll look like a boss doing it! What could be better?
From Little Wanderers Cat Rescue and cats like Paco, Tiffany , Hercules, Tiny Tim, Emma, Halo, Garland , Contessa….and on and on…..

Your kitchen is one of the most used rooms in your home. It is where your family will gather and where many of the best memories are made. That is why working on the kitchen remodeling very slowly and carefully is so important. There are many things that should be considered and thought through when working on turning your kitchen into the room of your dreams.
Consider what you need for your kitchen. Prior to the remodel, did it have enough counter space? If not, then you will want to add additional space there. Or if you did not have enough room for storage, start looking into those options. By considering the shortcomings of your previous kitchen, your will be much more satisfied with your new kitchen.
Be willing to look outside the box. While the designer cabinets look amazing, you may find something very similar if you begin looking at other locations. By being open to smaller stores or simply looking beyond one or two locations, you may the look you are wanting at a much cheaper price. The same is true for countertops. There are many places to buy countertops besides hardware stores and these other options may give you a better deal.
Any remodel that you imagine does not have to be complicated. Something as simple as a new paint job can give your room a new life. So just remember that you can keep some parts of your new kitchen very simple and still be getting the finished product that you imagined. This simpler approach can also be applied to areas such as the floor. There are cheaper and easier floor options than the fancy tiles or expensive hardwoods. Take a stroll through any hardware store and look at what options exist for the kitchen. By keeping these areas simple, you can put more money into the things that really matter (like your countertops or appliances).
Remodeling your kitchen is a major task but it can easily be accomplished if you slowly work through what needs to be done and what your goals are. By taking this time to get a plan in place, you will have more time to dedicate to putting the kitchen together without having to stop to get ready for the next step. This can help the process go very smoothly and take away a lot of the stress that comes with any kind of remodeling job.

The John Schmaltz family of Emmons County: from Ukrainian Steppes to Dakota Prairies
Schmaltz, Eric. "The John Schmaltz family of Emmons County: from Ukrainian Steppes to Dakota Prairies." Emmons County Record, 31 July 2008, 13.
(Editor's Note: This is part four of Eric Schmaltz's history of the John Schmaltz family.)
Schmaltz Family Origins in Lower Alsace and the Rhineland-Palatinate
Alsace lies on the border between France and Germany. The Rhineland is just east of it.
For many centuries, branches of the Schmaltz family had lived in the regions of Lower Alsace (Unterelsass) and the Rhineland-Palatinate (Rheinland-Pfalz) along the present French-German border. Based on my personal travels there, Alsace and the Palatinate are truly picturesque, with calm rolling hills and fields, neat vineyards, excellent local wines and breads, winding roads, clean streets, inspiring stone churches, and ancient communities. For countless generations, however, these regions also experienced frequent military invasions and political turmoil. In late antiquity, Alsace and the Palatinate were borderlands of the great Roman Empire as well. As Roman civilization and trade networks spread, these areas witnessed the mixing of Celtic, Germanic, and Gallo-Romanic peoples over many centuries, as the diverse physical characteristics of the locals still betray to this day. Many of the nomadic German tribes on the empire's periphery became more sedentary and engaged in agriculture and other skilled trades.
Both Alsace and the Palatinate have rested along ancient regional and cultural fault lines. One of the dividing lines running through them concerns the kinds of alcoholic beverages consumed and enjoyed. They were part of Europe's wine-drinking country, bordering with the beer-drinking lands. Thus at least in this regard, they shared greater affinity with the Mediterranean world. This longstanding Alsatian-German affinity for wine-producing and wine-drinking continued in Ukraine centuries later, as the numerous extensive vineyards and wineries of ethnic Germans near Odessa indicated.
As the Roman Empire collapsed, many of the frontier towns and farming communities in Alsace and the Palatinate were already Christianized by missionaries as early as the fourth, fifth, and sixth centuries. By the early Middle Ages, Jewish communities were firmly established in what is now northwestern Germany. Later, in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, persecuted European Jews from Spain and France migrated through these areas, adding to the peculiar cultural flavor of the regions and, in some instances, intermarrying with gentiles and converting to Roman Catholicism. Much of the population along the French-German borderlands remained Roman Catholic during the Protestant Reformation, although some neighboring German provinces turned Lutheran in the 1520s. In many respects, the region and its neighbors were a microcosm of the broader religious divide that beset sixteenth-century Europe.
Eric Schmaltz. The author is immigrant Johann Schmalz's great-grandson. Born in Minot, North Dakota, in 1971, he is Assistant Professor of History at Northwestern Oklahoma State University, where he teaches Modern European and World History. He expresses his eternal gratitude to old issues of the Emmons County Record as well as various extended relatives by blood or marriage who have assisted him with family history research over the past two decades, in particular Bro. Placid Gross, Mrs. Mary Lynn Axtman, Mrs. Nicole (French) Bailey, Prof. Amy Deibert, and Prof. Michael M. Miller.
In retrospect, an odd continuity seems to pervade much of the history of those people who became known as the German Russians. Until relatively recent times, many of them have tended to live—not always by choice—on cultural frontiers and political borderlands, whether in Eurasia or the Americas. Some of these borderlands include the French-German, Romanian-Moldavian-Ukrainian, Volga-Central Asian, Russian-Siberian, and Dakota-Canadian. Often these people settled in wide open places made available to them at certain points in their development—above all, on the Ukrainian, Volga, and Kazakh steppes, the North American Great Plains, and even the pampas (nearly treeless grasslands) of South America, notably in Argentina.

"…gospel order is, first and foremost, life lived in God's transforming, guiding, and sustaining power. As long as we are trying to get ourselves or others to live up to an external code of behavior as the highest expression of religious life, there will be inevitable failure. Only in Christ's life and power is there true human freedom and liberty. Friends felt that living in the power of the gospel was the way to overcome bondage to sin, unrighteousness, and all barriers that separate us from God. To live in the gospel is the way to experience the empowerment that allows one to embody peace, holiness, and righteousness."

Quickly and cost-effectively restore your fire damaged home or business, allowing your daily activities to resume with minimal interruption.
We efficiently restore both your fire damaged building and restore content damaged by fire. Our prompt action can reduce your structural damages and eliminate the need for costly replacement of restorable items.
Our top priority is restoring your smoke and fire damaged home or business as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.
We service the fire restoration needs of some of the largest insurance carriers in the world, providing them with the manpower, skilled labor, and expert supervision to complete even the most challenging of projects.
Our timely, low-cost, high quality home and commercial fire restorations far exceed many customers' expectations, while our excellent workmanship and attention to detail has made us many clients' preferred fire restoration contractors.
As our Client Reviews show, we are highly regarded throughout Santa Barbara County. Client word of mouth referrals have led Pearl Bay Rainbow's Mark Lee to become a preferred restorer for Santa Barbara's Unified School District, the Santa Barbara County Housing Authority, and the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara.
As the best of Santa Barbara's professional fire and smoke restoration companies Pearl Bay Rainbow has the technical expertise and experience to handle your entire fire and smoke damage claim, from the fire damage assessment and water, smoke and fire damage restoration, to the soot and smoke damage cleaning, and full content cleaning and restoration services.
Our fire cleanup and restoration services can help you recover from fires in Santa Barbara, in Isla Vista, Goleta, Montecito or anywhere throughout the Tri-Counties of the Central Coast.
For the best results the water and fire clean up and repair of fire damages should begin immediately, once the authorities clear the fire damaged property as safe, as your damages can significantly increase if you delay the emergency fire clean up.
We emphasize the importance of begining fire damage cleanup as soon as possible after the fire because as fire and smoke damage contractors, we have seen that in a surprisingly short time the water, acidic fire smoke, and possibly chemical foams used in putting out the fire can cause far more damage to both structure and contents than the actual fire, while untreated fire smoke and soot accumulations can quickly render any building more and more odor filled and progressively more structurally damaged, eventually becoming uninhabitable.
Additionally, if fire and water restoration and cleaning is delayed, many items that could be otherwise be cleaned or restored may be utterly destroyed within 48 hours due to the surface corrosion and permanent staining that penetrating water damage, acidic fire smoke residue, and mold damage the eventual mold infestations can cause, so it is important that water, smoke and fire damage cleanup and professional restoration begin as soon as possible.

Chapter 12 – The promise of data in e-research: Many challenges, multiple solutions, diverse outcomes
The need to share data and to exchange knowledge about data is a primary driver behind many visions of e-science. Yet, efforts to share data face considerable social, organizational, legal, scientific, and technical challenges. Large-scale solutions to these barriers have been slow to develop, although some progress is being made in the technological arena. This chapter reports findings from an analysis of the data sharing approaches used by large collaborations in several scientific disciplines. These results are based on research conducted as part of the Science of Collaboratories project, a five-year study funded by the National Science Foundation to investigate large, distributed collaborations across many domains. One type of solution for data sharing that we identify allows researchers to work as they always have, while the labor necessary to prepare data for sharing and to support their reuse are handled by others. In contrast, a second approach forces scientists to consider barriers to data sharing and aggregation at the outset of data collection and to develop solutions in advance to deal with these issues. Our results show that different types of data sharing solutions place different demands on those who produce data and on those who collect and manage data and make them available for others to use. In addition, individuals or small teams of researchers can often conduct their work privately, whereas large-scale collaborations are subject to increased accountability, greater independencies, and intensified needs for standardization. We discuss the ways in which these factors affect the production, organization, and sharing of data and the implications they have for the institutions and individuals that produce, manage, provide, and preserve scientific data.

NATIONALNEWSPeople Daily
I am not 'Slay Queen' of rivers, wetlands…
No other tree species in Kenya has precipitated such an outpouring of emotional vilification by environmental conservationists over its existence, especially those fighting to save the country's wetlands and rivers than the eucalyptus, a native of Australia.
Special Science Correspondent Wandera Ojanji, had a chat with the tree on its good and bad times since landing on the East African soil more than a century ago…
QUESTION: Some leaders in the country have been calling on farmers to uproot you with others even declaring you "bratus-non grata" in some counties. Why are you so demonised?
EUCALYPTUS: I migrated to this beloved country more than a century ago and since then, I have had a cordial and mutually beneficial relationship with all, until a few years ago when some people started blaming me for the drying up of water sources, rivers and springs, reducing biodiversity, increasing flooding, reducing nutrient cycling and all manner of ills.
Shockingly, even fingers are now being pointed at me, my offsprings and siblings for the food insecurity! However, most of these concerns have no scientific basis. The campaign to demonise and finish our humble community of trees is premised on environmental romanticism fuelled by fiction and speculation.
Q: One of the accusations against you is that you suck up copious amounts of water and fail to realise that it is a shared resource…How true is this?
A: Yes. But my physical size and DNA demand more water than many other of my indigenous colleagues. For instance, my hybrid kin consume approximately 2,526 litres of water annually compared to Earleaf acacia's (Acacia auriculiformis),1,231, Albizia lebbeck (Women's Tongue or Mkungu in Swahili),1,283, and the Indian rosewood (Dalbergia sissoo) 1,534.
This is data you can get from the Kenya Forestry Research Institute (Kefri). But this fact has been misrepresented and distorted by our enemies.
Those waging a campaign to wipe us out of the face of the earth fail to appreciate the fact that fast growing trees, and not just eucalypts evapo-transpire faster than slow growers— and because we are grown for biomass, we need enough water for us to grow fast and big.
It's a fact that we are the most efficient water users. Comparative studies on water consumption and biomass production show eucalyptus hybrids have higher water use efficiencies than other species.
For instance, for every litre of water consumed, we produce 2.06 grammes of biomass compared to only 1.83 grammes produced by Women's Tongue's, Dalbergia sissoo 1.31grammes, and Earleaf acacia1.39 grammes. And compared to other crops, we pale out in water consumption.
Kefri has established that while we require about 785 litres to produce one kilogramme of biomass, cotton, coffee and banana each require 3,200 litres and sunflower, 2,400 while maize, sorghum and potatoes require 1,000 litres each to produce same amount of biomass. These are hard scientific facts…
Q: Do you think you are being blamed for the drying up of rivers, swamps and other wetlands because of your preferential location near or on such threatened resource?
A: My colleague trees, not just eucalyptus do not drink water in the literal sense; water is our blood, our survival and we are not that stupid to engage in activities that threaten our survival and benefactors.
Along rivers we have evidence of streams flowing all the year round with giant eucalyptus trees towering over them. The decrease of water resources is even in areas where we hardly inhabit.
The curse of our water loss that has befallen our beloved country is a consequence of human activity; the misuse and mismanagement of agricultural land and clearing of forests, especially natural forests. We, like other tree species, are innocent victims in this greed.
Q: …and your future in Kenya?
A: Very bright. I am popular among farmers because I am fast-growing, my multiple uses, ease of establishment, wide range of adaptation and superior quality of products including timber and fibre. Ironically, the more the noise against me, the more popular I become.
There is evidence that our population is growing globally with the eucalyptus plantations doubling every decade while an increasing number of smallholder farmers are abandoning unreliable subsistence farming to embrace us as profitable enterprise.
Of course, farmers need proper advice on which variety of my kin to grow, where to grow and how to us to minimise adverse environmental footprints. I will continue to be a permanent feature in the Kenyan forestry landscape.
Let me give you figures released by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) to show our global presence; the global area under eucalypts was estimated at 700,000 hectares in 1955, rising to four million hectares in 1979 and exceeding 10 million hectares to date.
In Kenya, we occupied less than 50,000 hectares in 2009 but increased to the current more than 100,000 hectares, making us the most popular and preferred tree species in the country.
Elsewhere, we are rated highly; in Ethiopia, where my kin have been for more than 400 years, we occupy 250,000 ha, Angola 390,000ha, South Africa1.2 million ha, Spain 390,000 ha, Brazil4 million ha, India, 4.5 million ha and China 8.3 million ha.
In native Australia, we are 75 per cent of the tree population while globally, we account for 50 per cent.
Q: Finally, where do you thrive best?
A: I grow well and in harmony with the environment in areas with annual rainfall above 1,200 millimetres. However, we can also survive in areas with annual rainfall ranging between 400 and 1,200 mm, but you have to pick my close kin, the clones and hybrids that are suited for such areas. And more adaptive kin are birthed at Tree Biotechnology Programme Trust.
Q.Your parting shot?
A. I beg for understanding…let not those who have failed in their obligations to nurture nature use us as an excuse for the consequences of their greed… we are not the "Slay Queens" of rivers!
I must emphasise that in drier climates, tree plantations frequently reduce annual water yields, especially when they replace grasslands and farmland. Large plantations of fast-growing trees often reduce stream flow during the dry season as witnessed in South Africa.
Large areas of riverside land were planted with eucalypts, black wattle and pine during the 1950s and '60s, and these led to a dramatic decline in the water available to users further downstream. As a result, in the mid-1990s, the South African government removed Eucalyptus and other forest plantations from water catchments and riparian areas.

First look: it's Kia's hybrid crossover concept
Called 'The Niro', it's a sub-90g/km, fuel-efficient compact SUV
The sketch above will soon be transformed into an actual, real-life production car from Kia. It's called 'The Niro', and is a brand new mini SUV.
No relation to Robert, 'The Niro' sits on an all-new, lightweight Kia platform dedicated to eco-cars, of which more than half is composed of ultra-high strength steel.
This lightweight platform, explains Kia, not only goes toward reducing the average weight of its new car bodies by 2020, but also boasts low noise, vibration and harshness levels. We're promised a smooth and refined ride, with 'engaging handling characteristics'.
To this mix comes a 1.6-litre petrol engine with 100bhp and 108lb ft of torque, paired up with a 32 kW electric motor, 1.56 kWh lithium-polymer battery pack, and six-speed double-clutch gearbox. There are no combined power figures just yet, but we do know it'll become a plug-in hybrid soon after its launch.
And then there's the styling. The 'tiger-nose' grill is in full effect, while Kia's Californian design studio is said to have drawn inspiration from 'contemporary sculptural art' and 'modern architectural design'. You can be the judge of that.
We'll see the proper production version of The Niro late next year. It's part of Kia's plan to grow its current eco-car line-up from four models to 11 models over the next five years.
The range will cover plug-in hybrids through battery-powered cars, to a Kia hydrogen car. Talk about hedging your bets…

Limiting Small Business
The Self Fulfilling Loop
The ability to work in your business and work on your business are two very separate things. You may be the best at working very hard, doing long hours and motivating your staff, if you have any. But this doesn't translate to growing your business. Growing your business is something different. It takes a whole new skill set.
If you're stuck in the process of being a 'worker' in your business, you're not moving your business forwards. You must step out of the roles which worked when you were an employee. Things which make a good employee are: turning up on time, working hard, delivering to deadlines and thinking of ways to achieve the maximum output for your boss.
Things which make a good business owner are entirely different. Knowing how to grow your business is about marketing. You need a whole new skill set and new ways of thinking in order to do this.
The Skill Set Of Online Marketing
Online marketing is vital to grow your business. Whatever kind of business you have, you need some kind of marketing engine driving it forwards. With new technology comes a new type of marketing. Before the internet there was traditional advertising: yellow pages, newspapers, flyers, billboards, television and radio.
Online marketing is a fantastic opportunity for business owners. But with it comes a few problems. The main one is not just learning the skills to create online advertising, but rather our mindset, or more importantly our industrial age thinking.
Industrial Age Thinking
We have been brought up with a lot of baggage. Our minds hold ideas which our forefathers embodied in their lives. Many of us are limited by old thinking patterns which no longer serve us. This is true in many areas of our lives but none so much as with growing a business using online marketing.
A poverty mindset always thinks of reasons to cut back and avoid spending. It is based on a presupposition that 'there is never enough' – a self fulfilling prophecy! Of course this is often well founded based on the past. But as a business owner this can be your biggest limiting factor to forward growth.
If our very thinking is based on our past and what it has taught us in terms of our income, we hold back and tend to be careful with our money. This is for good reason of course. But with online marketing your long term plan should be to be spending more and more on advertising, not less and less. This is a major roadblock to business growth.

Waiting for the Jamboree: Time Escapists
Ten days of fun dedicated to the culture of late 40s and 50s. Beautiful and "refreshing" indeed, before coming back to the everyday routine!
But for a growing number of people "escaping" from the 21th century, retreating into the past is not only a part-time fun occupation but a way of life.
In 2008 the British Channel 4 aired Time Warp Wives *, a very controversial documentary by Sally Hewitt, featuring Debbie, Diane, Joanne and Sammi, four women that live every detail of their every day life like they're in a past era.
For Joanne and Debbie it's the 50s, while Sammi and Diane are devoted to 40s and 30s, respectively (read interviews with three of them here ).
While this can be considered a bit creepy ( Pleasantville and the two movies about The Stepford Wives come to mind!) or depressing or utopic from certain points of wiev, I think it's also fascinating. I mean, it's not just about vintage dresses here and isn't certainly an easy thing to make this kind of choice in 2009 world without trapping yourself in a time capsule. I don't even know if this is possible without falling in continuous contradictions... It's not easy to recreate a perfectioned version of a bygone era just for you, while all the people around you are living in a contemporary world and probably would not understand what you're doing. It requires talent, patiente, personal balance and cold blood. Cynically - and just for a second- I wonder if this also requires a pinch of hypocrisy...
Is this the pursuit of happiness? Is it just a palliative for our need of living in a perfect world, built around a stereotypical idea of old times - styled from movies and tv, skipping troubles and bitterness? Is it a way to live according to your own values and psychology, without facing the judgement of others?
I really don't know what it is, but in the end I think it's all up to people and it's not fair to simplify and standardize personal experiences. Some of the women in the documentary have then declared they felt misrepresented by the film, so there's probably a lot more to see and to know. We already knew it indeed...
All in all it's not important why people make a certain choice. The point is that people CAN make that choice and if someone feel confortable and happy with something without hurting anyone, than it's ok.
As for me, I totally don't feel the urge to live 100% in the past (is it possible withouth owning a time travel machine, anyway?) but I'm happy with the opportunity of being just a "part-time time traveler", like I wrote in my profile, and have fun without all the confusion!
* At the moment you can have a look at Warp Time Wives documentary here although - and weirdly enough - it works just if you're in UK...!!

ah yes thanks so much for sharing this! i just watched the documentary, were you able to watch it in the end, i can't tell? i love anyone who will go to extremes with their style, be it totally trashy or totally retro! the women were amazing, what dedication, it looks so amazing to have every little part of your life sorted and perfect. hard to achieve of course, and maybe unrealistic, but these ladies prove you can totally indulge your passions to whatever level you want. i thought they were beautiful, especially the younger '40s girl, stunning!

Oh my goodness! I sincerely wish I could attend that Jamboree! I ADORE early 20th century culture and that seems like an amazing festival! You must let us know how it goes!
I agree with what you said - we can't live in the past. Although I do think that the world has lost a lot of the good morals and values that people possessed back then, we have made such big steps in other issues - women's rights, technology, medicine... -that it would be a bigger step backward if we claimed that those were better times.

Would you believe it, I haven't seen the Timewarp Wives before? I so wish it would get broadcast here in Canada, too! Thoroughly fascinating points raised about what it means to eschew the modernity of 21st century life entirely. I'm off to read each of the links you mentioned, thank you very much for the "food for thought", honey!
Have a truly fantastic time at the Jamboree, I'll be there with you in spirit! :)

What a fascinating post! The jamboree sounds like so much fun! 40's and 50's clothes are so beautiful! I must watch this documentary! It's so interesting to see how other people live. I remember listening to the Chicago Public radios and they had this special on people who want to be almost like superheroes and they would do so many things to try to achieve that. So interesting! :)

Interesting post. I hope you has great fun at the Summer Jamboree.
My SIL and I were just lamenting certain aspects of the past. I was born in 1955, so I can remember some of the eras these women are trying to recreate. Even in the early 60s a woman put on her face and fixed her hair before going to the supermarket. Gloves and hats were just part of one's outfit.
Personally, I think more people are way too sloppy and careless about how they present themselves, but I'm really glad that I don't have to squeeze my body into a girdle and my feet into heels just so I can pick up dinner!

Tip #535: M-Learning Doesn't Appeal to Me
"Technology is fine. . ., but that popular vision of the future, where you plug somebody in and leave them there and they don't get out and interact with actual flesh-and-blood humans — you know the answer before I say it — that's not good." Dennis Miller
I was recently introduced to the concept of m-learning, which stands for mobile learning. Wikipedia defines it as "learning across multiple contexts, through social and content interactions, using personal electronic devices."
M-learning is touted as being convenient and accessible, as well as being collaborative.
I use my smart phone to look up information all the time. Yes, it is very convenient. If knowledge is knowing where to find the information, my smart phone … Read the rest

Philip was a consultant with a common touch, an uncommon attribute in the top clinicians of his time. His father was an engineer. Born in a comfortable house in south east London, he went to Dulwich prep school and then to Dulwich College before enrolling in St Bartholomew's hospital.
During the war, Bart's was evacuated to Cambridge and there Philip graduated in 1944. A house job under G Graham [Munk's Roll, Vol.VI, p.205] followed. Then Philip was commissioned in the Royal Army Medical Corps. His war in Italy was brief but eventful and he was mentioned in despatches. At the time of demobilization in 1947 Philip was a major and second in command of the 14th field ambulance unit. His colleagues often asked him about his war service, but modesty prevented Philip from discussing it.
In civilian life Philip decided on a career in hospital medicine. He had resident posts in the Seaman's Hospital, Greenwich, and the London Chest Hospital which then had a heavy caseload of patients with tuberculosis not only from the eastern half of metropolitan London but also referrals from surrounding counties.
In 1953 Philip moved to the Royal Free Hospital as senior medical registrar. Here he had the massive task of co-ordinating the work on the outbreak of encephalomyelitis which became known as the Royal Free disease, described in detail in the British Medical Journal in 1957.
Appointed consultant physician to Stamford and Rutland Hospital and to Peterborough Memorial Hospital in 1958, Philip and his wife Margery settled in the picturesque market town of Stamford. They had met at the London Chest Hospital where Margery had been nursing when Philip was the RMO. They immersed themselves in the life of the community, being active in their church, visiting the disabled and elderly housebound, delivering meals-on-wheels, and also helped the British Red Cross and the Children's Society.
Philip had long been interested in the lower plants and was an amateur expert on the mosses. Indeed, he published Rutland bryophyte flora (Leicester, Leicester Museums Arts and Records Service, Leicestershire County Council, 1990), the definitive work on the mosses of the small county district which lay practically on his doorstep.
In his work as a consultant physician, Philip would see, examine, investigate and if possible send the patient back to his general practitioner with the diagnosis, recommended treatment regime and an offer to review as and when needed. He never had a proprietorial attitude to his 'beds'. The consultants in the minor specialties were always allowed, indeed welcomed, to use the beds in his ward. He treated everybody with courtesy and consideration and was particularly kind and supportive towards his junior colleagues.
He had deep insights into his patients' problems and was particularly effective in identifying non-organic syndromes. He spoke and wrote amusingly. He produced a classic and highly entertaining short paper on the characteristics of the patients he often saw from Bourne, a fenland town to the north of Peterborough.
He was very energetic early in his retirement and particularly enjoyed studying the classics, obtaining a grade A in Latin A level. His research on the mosses of Rutland satisfied not only his biological interest but also his love of classical language. In later years he suffered a deterioration of his hearing which diminished his enjoyment of music and conversation with friends. Several strokes left him increasingly frail and finally he had to enter a nursing home. He died in Stamford and Rutland Hospital in one of his old wards. He was uncomplaining and would say 'I have a lot to be thankful for'.

Sirius XM Holdings (NASDAQ:SIRI) is making the most of drivers trading in their older cars for new rides with factory-installed satellite radio receivers. The media giant posted strong third-quarter results on Tuesday morning.
Revenue climbed 10% as a 7% increase in self-pay subscribers and an uptick in average revenue per user helped deliver a record $1.057 billion on the top line. Analysts were only holding out for an 8% advance.
A little growth on the top line often translates into big growth on the bottom line given Sirius XM's scalable model, but that didn't exactly happen this time around. Yes, reported net income more than doubled to $136.1 million, but the spike was largely the handiwork of a one-time hit for the early extinguishment of debt a year earlier. Sirius XM's operating profit merely inched 3% higher for the quarter with free cash flow barely failing to keep up with the top line by registering a 9% increase.
A big drag on the bottom line was the 26% surge in the revenue share and royalties that Sirius XM shells out. There was also a 22% uptick in customer service and billing expenses. Higher music royalties are unavoidable with record labels successfully demanding larger chunks of Sirius XM's revenue with every passing year. However, it is a surprise to see some line items including customer service as well as the satellite radio provider's G&A costs grow faster than revenue.
Sirius XM's profit of $0.02 a share matched Wall Street expectations, just as it did during this year's first two quarters.
Rocking guidance
Sirius XM is offsetting the sting of contracting operating margins with an improved outlook. It's boosting its revenue, free cash flow, and total net subscriber additions guidance for all of 2014.
It now sees revenue of $4.15 billion, up from the $4.1 billion it was targeting three months ago. Its goal for net subscriber additions is growing from 1.25 million to 1.5 million. Its adjusted EBITDA target of $1.425 billion remains intact, but it now sees free cash flow of $1.12 billion. It was previously forecasting $1.1 billion in free cash flow.
Sirius XM has been making the most of its free cash flow and its ability to raise money at low rates by eating into its gargantuan share count. It has spent $2.1 billion so far this year on share buybacks, helping reduce its fully diluted share count by 5% over the past year.
These are competitive times for Sirius XM. It may have swayed regulators into OKing its satellite radio monopoly six years ago, but the smartphone revolution also means that drivers are no longer limited to commercial-laden terrestrial radio or personal CDs if they don't want to pay for Sirius XM's premium platform.
For now, Sirius XM is holding up just fine. Auto manufacturers may be making it easier for smartphone owners to stream audio through their car speakers, but it's never as seamless as satellite radio. Armed with an installed base of 26.7 million total subscribers, Sirius XM has the flexibility to pay for content and offer commercial-free music that sets it apart from terrestrial and streaming offerings. Investors will want to keep a close eye on the expense line items that are eating into its operating profit, but with the stock meandering in recent months on concerns that its popularity is being challenged it's great to see Sirius XM raise its guidance after posting better than expected top-line growth.

Tea Jelly Tastings of Arctic fire Black tea, Yerba mate, Lemon & Ginger Green tea, with Rose water gelee & syrup, honeycomb and stevia sweeteners.
To make these tea jellies it was very easy, I just simply made three separate tea brews and a rose water and water with pink colouring mixture. One at a time I measured out 250 ml. and added 1.5 grams of agar agar powder, bringing to the simmer whisking to dissolve the agar then poured each one into separate moulds. Placed them into the fridge to set, before turning out and slicing for presentation. For the Arctic fire I used half strength agar and presented this mashed, for the green tea I used ginger and lemon in the brew to flavour and sliced this jelly thinly and folded them on the plate. The Yerba mate was brewed with fresh stevia leaves from the garden and half a teaspoon of honey, to serve I cut the jelly into various sized cubes and so to the rose water gelee. To make the rose water syrup I placed rose water, pink colour, water and xantham gum in a saucepan and simmered until thickened, before setting aside to cool. Xantham gum is a polysaccharide produced by the fermentation process of glucose, sucrose or lactose and used at 0.5 % in most dishes is a great sauce thickener.
I presented this tasting simply by using the four corners of the plate for the jellies, with the rose syrup used for dipping the teas, placed under the rose water gelee. In the middle of the plate I centred the honeycomb and on top of that I put fresh stevia leaves.

More Owners Optimistic About Home Values
The number of home owners who fear the value of their homes will fall in the next year declined to 15 percent in January, the lowest level since early 2007, according to a Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan survey published last week.
That's a big improvement over the first quarter of 2009, when 26 percent expected the value of their homes to decline.
Home owners were less optimistic about gains in the value of their homes, with the average anticipated annual gain holding steady at 2.7 percent in January.
In January, 46 percent said the value of their homes decreased in the past year, while 14 percent said the value had increased.

As the screen shot makes obvious, the purpose of Geotables is to create data tables for arcs and lines and their end points. When I wrote Geotables, I included a robust user-editable variable system to make customization easy. I also used blocks for all the objects Geotables creates so that any AutoCAD user can make the Geotables output look the way they want. If you inspect the screen shot closely, you can see the 7 blocks that Geotables inserts:
- the all-purpose ellipse-shaped label block: GeoTablesLabel
- the header and table blocks for Curve, Line, and Point tables: GeotablesCHeader, GeotablesCTable, GeotablesLHeader, GeotablesLTable, GeotablesPHeader, GeotablesPTable,

My mother use to occasionally acquire herself a golly badge from Robertsons & I always thought they were quite adorable. The moment I saw this one, I just had to own it.
The badge is a custom design by Sticky Wotsits on eBay(a tribute to the golly badges available in the past). It's a beautifully executed design. These photos don't do the details justice.
I only own a handful of enamel badges, a majority of them are on my custom ACO jacket. All of my ACO enamel badges are from eBay(there's a couple of others I hope to gain in the future). The boots badge was just a spontaneous addition & not specifically ACO inspired, though I think it's a nice touch on my jacket.
The jacket was designed by me & I had it sew by a seller on etsy(suspect999, tragically her store no longer exists). It's one of my few 'unique' items & something I'm quite proud of.
These of course, are not the only ACO clothing/accessories I own, but definitely some of my favourites.
As always, I apologise for the delay with a new post. Just seems I'm a bit distracted lately.

Hide Forgot
*NOTE* I didn't write this as a bug report, but it may be a bug. I have
included a lot of information here that may seem extraneous.
I would like to share with you my recent experience installing RedHat 7.0
Deluxe. I hope that you will take this seriously and that you will
I should first start off by saying that I have been using un*x systems for
6 years now and much of that time has been as a system administrator. I
have installed pretty much every linux distribution there is (mainly to see
how the installation process works in the different distros) over the past
several years. I started my journey into linux with a 68K mac running a
beta version if mklinux. I do not consider myself in anyway to be a newbie
to linux. I would love to get rid of my windows machine altogether (though
I would like that to be my choice, a little forshadowing...) and use only
unix based systems. I am a professional programmer and unix system
administrator, but this system I was installed was for personal use.
Now that we have that out of the way, I will get into the problems I had
with RedHat 7.0. Aside from the obvious problems like backwards binary
compatibility, the problems I had were with the installation. I also have
had some problems running kde programs (like kpackage) that gave me library
function mismatches and suggested relinking the libraries....
My system is a Pentium III 600mhz emachine with 128megs of ram a riva tnt2
AGP video card with 8 megs of ram and pci, isa and usb ports. I have two
15gig maxtor drives set up in a master/slave config. There is also a
CD-RW, DVD and floppy drives. The master drive (hda) has 1 dos partition
and has windows on it. The other drive has linux on it with currently 2
partitions, / and swap.
Install try #1... The install was a custom where I chose all packages.
It installed just fine. I used lilo on the mbr and on reboot got an L.
I tried using a boot floppy, but that resulted in a kernel panic. I don't
really know why this would happen. It is the same configuration that the
6.2 was using, but I wanted to do a clean install, so I did not choose the
upgrade path. It did format the drive and required both binary cds to
install. It appeared that everything had installed, so I am not sure why
the kernel wouldn't boot under lilo or the boot diskette.
Install try #2... This was not the first time an install didn't work on
reboot on a machine I had... so I decided to just try again. This time I
decided that I wanted to see how RedHat would partition things, so I choose
the Server install (I think) and choose to autopartition. I started the
install and went to do something else (like I had with all other installs).
I don't recall if I was asked for the second cd, but when the install was
done, I rebooted the machine. It booted just fine (thought the graphical
lilo chooser thing is annoying). When the machine came up I did a df -k
and was absolutely HORRIFIED to see that the linux partitions where on both
disks. I got a very sick feeling and knew that I was screwed. I have two
computers; one laptop running windows and one desktop running both windows
and linux. I had a couple weeks earlier reinstalled windows on the laptop
(it was crashing a lot) and had moved all my backup files onto the desktop.
I had not yet synced the two computers. I also had no external media
backups of my windows machines. So... everything was lost. I am very
angry that I was stupid enough let your program auto partition. I am very
angry that I was stupid enough to not have backups, I should know better
and would never let a commercial system go without backups. I am just very
angry. I cannot believe that the dos partition would be deleted and
formatted over. Your documentation says nothing about that. Your
documentation (the install booklet that came in the box) says that linux
partitions will be overwritten and that empty disk space will be
partitioned. WHY would my dos partition be removed???
Now, I have also installed commercial unix systems like Solaris and they
have auto partitioning features, but all it does is set up suggested
partitions in the gui disk editor and the live person must then agree to
the proposed partitioning. Why doesn't your install program do that?
I feel very foolish for trusting your installation product!!! And for
paying $75 bucks to erase my data.
How do you respond?
Install Try #1:
It isn't clear to me what you are saying, so let me see if I understand. You
did a custom install,
specified that LILO should be written to the MBR and also you created a new boot
floppy when
Install Try #2:
There is already a request for enhancement for the issue you have brought up,
bug number 17085.
Install try #1: Yes, I did lilo to mbr and made boot disk at the end of the
graphical installation. On reboot I got (without the boot floppy) just an L out
of lilo. When I tried the boot floppy it started to boot up and then got a
kernel panic. I didn't save the information and frankly I don't really care
about try #1.
It is what happened in install #2 that pissed me off. I only included the info
on the first try to illustrate what I was doing. RH7 is running just fine on the
machine now (though taking up both disks) as was RH6.2. It was the partitioning
over and formating my primary drive that is the problem. Thanks being such a
drone in your response to the real issue.
BTW: I get the following results when I try to view bug 17085 that you referred
Permission denied.
Sorry; you do not have the permissions necessary to see bug 17085.
Sorry my fault the bug should be viewable now.
Ok based on your feedback I am going to mark this as a dupe of bug 17085.
Thank you for giving us your comments.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 17085 ***

The Last Generator
Man Who Gave The Last Generator To A Crying Stranger Gets A Free One From Lowe's
""Last week, we shared a story about a Florida woman who tearfully embraced a complete stranger who'd given her the last generator in the mad rush before Hurricane Irma.
Pam Brekke had driven more than 30 miles from her home to buy a generator when she heard the Lowe's had received a surprise shipment. She needed it for her father to power his oxygen supply.
Within two hours, the generators were gone. Ramon Santiago, the man directly in front of Brekke, got the last one.
When Santiago saw Brekke crying, he turned to her and insisted she take the generator.""
