We're having trouble with our rhododendrons. Can you please help us identify the problem we are having from the attached photo. We have been reading up on potential problems but have not yet been able to identify this problem. We appreciate any assistance you can give!

This looks like a leaf scorch on the foliage. You did not mention where the plant is located and how old they are. Rhododendrons grow best in morning sun and afternoon shade. If planted in full sun the leaves can scorch.
They have a shallow root system. Drought conditions can also cause leaf scorching along the margins or leaf tips. Water during dry periods and make sure mulch is no thicker than several inches and keep away from the base of the stems.

Selling your home can be a little stressful. It's a big decision and a big move is on the cards, but it can also be fun! You get to play dress-ups with your house! And create a storyline for potential buyers that they'll find hard to resist.
Taking the time to prepare your home for sale can add thousands of dollars to your final sale price. If you can't afford a professional home stylist, don't stress. Here's some tips on how to style your home for sale like a pro.
Create Space
Have you heard of white space? It's normally used in the publishing world when describing a magazine layout. Having plenty of space and a page that isn't filled on up with words and pictures is pleasing to the eye. People are more inclined to read what's on the page. It's the same with a home. People find space appealing. Take a good look around your home and work out how you can remove pieces of furniture that will create space. Ask yourself what makes the room feel closed in? Do you really need that third armchair in the lounge room? Or the second couch in the rumpus room? Or that supertall bookshelf in one of the kids' rooms?
You don't have to sell it (and don't put it in the garage or the shed) Pop it into self storage for a couple of months while your house is photographed for the marketing campaign and you're showing the home.
Light And Bright
Think about your colour palette. Real estate agents, property photographers and house hunters like light and bright. It's easy to lighten up your rooms with floor rugs, cushions, throw rugs, table runners, lamp shades and light coloured pot plants. Yes, you'll have to keep them super clean while the house is on show, but it will be worth it.
You might love your teapot collection but not many buyers will. While it's important the house reflects your personality and who lives there – is it a family home, designed for couples, retirees – you also want to the potential buyer to imagine themselves in the home. That's hard to do when they're surrounded by loads of family photos on the wall and a Country Style magazine collection taking up the corner of the lounge room! Grab some storage boxes, fill them up with books, photos, collections and anything that might over-personalise the space, and place them in self storage until you move into your new home.
Focus On Living Spaces
Many agents talk about kitchens being the key to selling a home. If you don't have much of a budget for styling, then selecting the living spaces to focus on will be a good investment of the budget you do have. Living spaces are where homeowners spend most of their time so if they are drawn in by the styling, a sale could be imminent. Focus on making sure the surface spaces are uncluttered, put kitchen appliances that normally live on the bench away in the cupboard or into self storage (if you can live without your juicer for a few weeks!).
House hunters love a good poke around. They won't just focus on the inside of the house, so make sure you've decluttered the outdoor and storage areas. Has your garage become a dumping ground? Is your garden shed full to the brim with loads of stuff? The same rule for the interior applies to outdoor and external storage spaces. Declutter, depersonalise and create space.
Make An Emotional Connection
This is easy to do. Appeal to the senses of potential homebuyers! Gorgeous flowers, the smell of freshly ground coffee, baked bread or some subtle smelling candles work a treat (especially if you have a pet! We love our cats and dogs, but they can impact the smell of a home, let's be real). A lush looking plant in the corner of a room adds some greenery and actually helps with air quality. A nice looking fiddle leaf in a stylish pot is a winner.
Spick And Span
And the bad news? You have to keep the place super clean! Commit to the look you've created by making sure personal items that clutter up the space don't creep back out again (this is why self-storage options work well!) and have the home ready to show at any time of the day. Who knows? Your buyer might not wait for an open house. They might want an inspection right now. If everything is looking spick and span whenever they walk in the door, you're making your agent's life easier and bringing the dream of selling up and moving on closer to reality.

Source: Handy Shipping guide, 2019-08-16
The figures released recently by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) show a jump in new HGV registrations in both of the last two quarters, increases the SMMT ascribes to a piece of EU technology legislation regarding the mandatory fitting of "smart" tachographs to all new commercial vehicles.
The UK's new heavy goods vehicle (HGV) market rose 46.3% in the second quarter of 2019, with 15,605 units registered putting year to date registrations up 34.3% against 2018 at 27,464. In Q2 rigid and artic truck registrations were up 51.9% and 38.1% respectively as road haulage outfits presumably opted for equipment without the new cab technology fitted as standard.
The SMMT says it liaised with other trade associations to lobby the DfT which resulted in some flexibility around enforcement of the new legislation. Despite this it says the industry was clearly rattled and pulled forward vehicle registrations. So what is a smart tachograph, and how does it differ from the, not so old, digital units now fitted to most commercial vehicles? As with the inception of the original analogue units, the old rumblings of a 'spy in the cab' have surfaced once again.
The current equipment comes by way of EU legislation dating to 2016 when the industry was given until June this year to make the compulsory change. Full specifications for the new equipment can be seen in the EU Regulation here. Installing, maintaining and administrating the 6 million or so units employed in EU vehicles is estimated to cost the industry over €2.5 billion annually. This new breed of technology does much more than any former incarnation and the EU says it will reduce the administrative burden on companies and regulators and help eliminate tampering with the devices.
The big ticket item is that the units include GPS technology, offering authorities remote offence capabilities and linking to telematics to allow companies to monitor driver behaviour. The units will record the start and finish points of the daily work undertaken, plus record positions en route. The information contained can be wirelessly scanned from the roadside by traffic officers who can use the real time information to decide whether a vehicle stop is in order.
Fortunately for those who transgress it seems, in the UK at least, the DVSA has not acquired the necessary roadside readers, believing they will not be worthwhile until many more trucks carry the smart equipment. The EU ruling has set a date 15 years hence for its member regulators to have the necessary equipment on hand. For new UK vehicles driving in the EU however drivers should not be too complacent as some states may well equip their monitors much sooner than this.
The information revealed by the units is varied, with all the details shown by previous models plus some extras. What they won't apparently automatically reveal however are the usual offences such as failure to take mandatory breaks or excess driving hours, all information which can be ascertained during a normal stop, and also if the unit is linked to a fleet telematics programme.
With data protection issues arising there are built in safeguards, the data collected by an enforcement authority at a road side stop must be analysed and disposed of within three hours, unless the unit indicates signs of interference, misuse or attempts at data manipulation. There can be no prosecutions based solely on information collected remotely, a stop is essential for further investigation, only then can enforcement action be undertaken.
Because the data collected using telematics can be shared with other similar systems, prior permission from the driver is required, before a connection between the tachometer and telematics system can share data, including geo-positioning.
While the new regulation came into effect for vehicles registered after 15th June 2019, there are no immediate requirements for the equipment to be retrofitted to older vehicles, although this can easily be done. As we say, the new technology is not without its critics, the fact that ever more data is held publicly, with the potential for criminal elements having power over both driver and load, particularly when high value consignments on regular routes are involved, is of concern to many.

What's going to happen on November 7th?
House: Democrats +33
Senate: Democrats +4
There I got my predictions out at the top. Now to go on and explain how tomorrow is going to play out and why I made the predictions above.
Some points to be made to the casual voter. After the 2004 exit poll debacle, which left the Democrats crying conspiracy when a major systemic discrepancy existed between the exit polls the National Election Pool was publishing and the final vote counts (in favor for President Bush), the NEP and the networks have decided NOT to release any exit poll data until the polls have closed in a race.
So in previous years, especially before the NEP, you might have seen on the news during the day that Candidate A is leading in such and such a race, even while the polls were open. Not only did this leaked information influence voters (for instance, a supporter of Candidate B decides that Candidate A has already won…based on what he's heard on the news…and then doesn't go vote) but they're also highly inaccurate at times.
So, tomorrow you won't be seeing that data until the polls have actually closed. Captain Ed at Captain's Quarters isn't so optimistic on the chances that the networks can keep their mouths shut,
Journalists will be hermetically sealed, so to speak, until 5 pm — but after that, they will be free to report on the live results from exit polling. That would be 2 pm on the West Coast, and for most of the nation, people will still be at the office waiting to cast their ballots that evening. We can expect to see Drudge Report headlines and wire service analyses shortly afterwards, and the cat will be out of the bag … even if it's the wrong cat, as in 2004.
I think we can expect to see the networks casting aside their vows of obedience by 6 pm ET, with veiled allusions to the exit polling as it hits the wires. It will be up to voters to recall the abysmal data that first came out of the exit polls in 2004 and give them the credence they deserve.
For more on how exit polls work check out Pollster's interview with the director of the National Election Pool (Part 1 and Part 2).
Now onto predictions about tomorrow.
The U.S. House
For those who haven't been following the Democrats have looked poised to easily take back the House. Political pundits and pollsters base this on "generic" house ballots ("Do you plan on voting for a Republican or a Democrat in your House of Representatives race?") and also more specific polls for some of the more contested House races. At times it has looked like the Democrats might pick up 30 or more seats in the U.S. House. That is a stunning number, considering over a 10 year span the incumbent wins their U.S. House seat better than 90% of the time.
As Pollster points out however, in some "final" generic house ballots on the eve of election day, there has been a significant downturn in the Democratic numbers. Now certainly, if the Democrats don't win the house we should all be suspicious. But, how many seats they're going to take from the Republicans is now a hotly contested figure. 20? 25? 30?
[T]he advantage Democrats have built throughout the year has been reduced by from 1.5 to 3.5 percentage points. While forces are still a net positive to the Democrats, these forces are weaker than they were during the week before Halloween. This implies that the most competitive races will now be harder for Democrats to win and easier for Republicans to hold. This implies that the anticipation of a major surge to Democrats now needs to be reconsidered. While race-by-race estimates still show an 18 seat Democratic gain, and 27 seats as tossups…this reduction in national forces makes it less likely the Democrats sweep the large majority of the tossup seats and could result in total gains in the 20s rather than the 30s or even 40s that looked plausible 10 days ago.
Specifically the final generic polls for the House that saw downturn were the USA Today/Gallup:
In a separate nationwide USA TODAY/Gallup Poll, taken Thursday through Sunday, Democrats were favored over Republicans for Congress by 51%-44% among likely voters. That edge of 7 percentage points had narrowed from a 13-point margin two weeks ago.
A nationwide Pew Research Center survey finds voting intentions shifting in the direction of Republican congressional candidates in the final days of the 2006 midterm campaign. The new survey finds a growing percentage of likely voters saying they will vote for GOP candidates. However, the Democrats still hold a 48% to 40% lead among registered voters, and a modest lead of 47%-43% among likely voters.
And the ABC News/Washington Post final generic ballot where the Democratic lead narrowed to 6%.
You can find all the major generic House polls at Real Clear Politics.
"I Knew My Page Sex Scandal Would Give My Colleague's A Boost…"
These generic polls are extremely, extremely unspecific. That should be obvious. Take for instance the new/final generic House poll from CNN.
The percentage of likely voters who plan to vote for Democrats in Tuesday's congressional elections increased in the past week, according to a CNN poll conducted during the weekend.
Those voters supporting Democrats also seem less likely to change their minds before casting ballots, the poll found
Democrats hold a 20 percentage-point advantage — 58 percent to 38 percent — over Republicans among likely voters in the survey released Monday morning. The Democratic advantage was 11 percentage points — 53 percent to 42 percent — in a poll a week ago.
Quite a large discrepancy from 6 points to 20 points in polls conducted over the same time frame. Thus, trying to gauge the way the house is going to "swing" based off of them is difficult. Constituent Dynamics, which has done consistent polling (some of the only consistent House polling) in 60 of the most contested House races has a site up called Majority Watch.
If the Democrats manage to sweep all the races Majority Watch sees them in the lead in (although some of those leads are small) they'll pick up 38 seats and move to 240 seats in the House. At 535 members it takes 218 to gain a majority.
That number (38) is way outside of MyDD's projection, a Democratic website which uses a myriad of polling sources (it doesn't conduct its own) to try to call the House and Senate majorities.
Republican supporters looking for them to keep the House (I'm not one of them) have to take some optimism in the 3 generic polls. But, I wouldn't take too much. I still think that the gains will be >30. A shellacking of the highest order. Like I listed above, I think Democrats +33.
That is a huge prediction. Make no mistake about it. That is on the order of the sweeping Newt Gingrich led Republican take over of 1994 (they gained 34 seats). I'm betting this despite nutcase concerns for a "Rovian Conspiracy," despite those three generic House ballots showing the down turn, despite the fact that it is looking like Democrats would need to carry virtually all the considered "toss up" races (and possibly then some) to get to 33. By many polling services the 33 looks like a ridiculous number…one that would imply the Democrats did better than even most polls are suggesting possible. So be it.
Then again it is a "optimistic" prediction but perhaps not completely outrageous. It is within the predicted range for the respected Cook Political Report as well as the Rothenberg Political Report.
As for specific races in Texas…
I don't think either can do it, but of course I will be watching both the Texas 21st and the Texas 23rd to see if Courage or Rodriguez can force the incumbent Republicans Smith and Bonilla into a run off. And of course, don't forget Tom Delay's old district, where despite the fact it is populated by a heavy Republican base, doesn't even have a Republican candidate on the ballot (she's a write in).
Texas 21st – Lamar Smith (R-i)
Texas 23rd – Henry Bonilla (R-i)
Texas 22nd (Tom Delay's District) – Nick Lampson (D)
The U.S. Senate
A brief overview for those not inclined to pay attention in Civics and Government. The Senate has 100 senators, a third of them (well, in some years 1 more than that since 100 doesn't divide cleanly by 3) are up for reelection ever 2 years. That is 33 Senators up for reelection. To gain a majority the Democrats need to pick up 6 Senate seats. A tie (50-50) gives control to the Republicans since Dick Cheney gets to cast the tie-breaker in all votes.
The Democrats have perhaps eight real targets (and they need to win 6 of them). As well they need to hold off real challenges for currently held Democratic seats in 2 states. Below are the truly contested races:
|New Jersey*
* Maryland & New Jersey Are Both Currently Democratic
The Wall Street Journal's Coverage of their Senate polls while having a cool interactive map is both incomplete and lacking in recently updated polling.
Electoral-Vote trolls polling data and tries to call the Senate. It sees it as 50 Republicans 49 Democrats 1 Tie. This is probably a good analysis, although Montana, Missouri, Virginia, and Tennessee are all actually probably too close to really call.
MyDD has a good analysis, despite Democratic biases,
[I]t does not seem reasonable to me to expect that Democrats will pull out all three close races. Thus, while on a seat by seat level I forecast a six seat gain for Democrats, overall I forecast only a five seat gain. In other words, I forecast six Democratic pickups in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Rhode Island, Montana, Virginia and Missouri. However, I think Missouri, Virginia and Montana are all so close, I think it is more likely than not that we will lose one of those races. I just can't pick which one we will lose.
This means that overall, I still forecast Republicans narrowly holding the Senate 50-48-2.
Of course any analysis counts independent Joe Lieberman (who was beaten in the Democratic primary but is going to easily win the Connecticut Senate race) and wacky Socialist Bernard Sanders (who is easily going to win in Vermont) as Democrats.
If You Look To Your Left You Can See One Of The Nation's Last Remaining Socialists…
While more optimistic than many Democratic pundits in the House, I am less optimistic in the Senate. Five pickups is a possibility but I think four more likely. You can see below how I think every Senate race will go.
|Predicted Victor
|Kyl (R)
|Kyl (R)
|Feinstein (D)

As Pollster shows the Pennsylvania and Ohio races are basically out of the running. Rhode Island has Chaffee falling farther behind every week, as well. Those will go Democratic. As well, over the past several weeks the Democrats have shored up Maryland and New Jersey, meaning they will not lose any of their incumbent Senate seats.
Arizona while listed as contested, is really Kyl's to lose. That leaves Montana, Missouri, Tennessee, and Virginia. I think most pundits would say Montana and Virginia are complete toss ups. Missouri leans Democratic. Tennessee leans Republican.
The Democrats would need to win three of four of them (along with previously mentioned Ohio, Rhode Island, and Pennsylvania) to take the Senate. I think they're only going to win one and it isn't going to be the leaning Missouri (where our dear friend Michael J. Fox campaigned for Democratic nominee McCaskill)…
Yes, Yes…Of Course Glenn Beck…Rush Limbaugh Was The One Who Was Wronged Here…
Morons The Lot Of Them
No, I think Montana is tired of Conrad Burns. Always good using Washington D.C. sarcastic blowhard bloggers as a gauge for what the people of Montana are thinking but still…watch these videos…
Being Old Is Being Tired

See you tomorrow. Go out and vote!

NATIONAL HARBOR, MD – (Sept. 25, 2019) The National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies welcomed its new chairman – Randall K. Druvenga, president of First Maxfield Mutual Insurance Association – today during the annual meeting of members at the 124th Annual Convention.
Even though Druvenga never intended to lead a mutual insurance company, once he got involved in the industry, he developed a passion for it. And the First Maxfield board of directors believed him to be the best person to lead the company to the next level. Druvenga has met the board's expectations by surrounding himself with quality people who helped teach him what it takes to lead a mutual company.
"I would not be standing here today or managing First Maxfield if I had not been open to learning all I could about the industry and if it were not for the association of quality individuals such as yourselves," he told the convention audience.
"What makes this association so strong and so unique is the level of support given on a personal level as well as a professional level," he continued. "We in the mutual world make a difference in the lives we touch and support."
He went on to encourage fellow NAMIC members to make the choice to get involved in the association, to learn, to listen to different perspectives and have an open mind, and to continue to challenge themselves to develop and grow.
"We have tremendous opportunities to help one another and to make a difference in the lives we touch. Walking this life journey is better as a shared experience," he said when wrapping up his speech. "That is why each of us chooses to be in community with one another as part of this wonderful association."
During the next 12 months, Druvenga will travel to several states to visit with mutual insurance company professionals. He will also serve as a leading spokesperson for NAMIC when called on to meet with legislators, regulators, and other industry stakeholders.

"Circumcise your hearts, therefore, and do not be stiff-necked any longer. For he Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes." Deuteronomy 10:16-17 (NIV)
Moses over and over again tried to convey to his people how mighty and AWESOME their God was. He urged them to repent and reverence Him. It seems they continually tried to bargain their way through the wilderness and, consequently, suffered many afflictions.
King David constantly proclaimed the mighty and awesome deeds his God performed and said, "In the council of the holy ones God is greatly feared; he is more awesome than all who surround him." (Psalm 89:7, NIV) His son, Solomon, confirmed this understanding of God and flatly stated, in Ecclesiastes 5:7b (NIV): "Therefore stand in awe of God."
Isaiah continued the proclamation of God's awesomeness in Chapter 64:3-5a (NIV): "Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him. You come to the help of those who gladly do right, who remember your ways."
Your God is an AWESOME God. Honor Him today.
PRAY: "Mighty God, I praise You for the AWESOME works You have performed on my behalf. You have changed me…spirit, soul, and body…and continue to be my guiding Light and Source of strength. Amen."

Why It Is Important To Become an Investor in Online Precious Metals
There is no one single day will you expect people who invest in precious metals to go down or have their business collapse. Just look keenly at what the developed countries are doing and you will discover that investing in precious metals is one of their main economic activity. Whenever you hear people discussing or talking about investing in precious metals, you need to know they are not talking about silver. You cannot separate gold and platinum whenever you are discussing how your company would invest in precious metal trade.
If you are to be a successful investor in precious metals, you need to be very patient with the market trends since they don't fluctuate speedily as you may think. Without adequate experience, it would be impossible for you to thrive in this field because you need it to maneuver. Just like the many precious metals you can trade and get much money, there are also various trading activities you can go for and succeed.
It is amazing that some people are quick to go back to the physical silver investment to make their trade effective. There is nothing wrong with trading silver metal physically, but it would be beneficial for you to think about the online trading techniques. There is a market level you may never reach if you are trading silver metal on physical stores while you could have reached these levels easily if you took your trading skills online.
You would not struggle at a lot when trading your precious metals online due to the convenience you would enjoy here. If you tell some people to trade precious metals online, they may not embrace it since they think it is a field with so many online problems. What they forget is that fields or businesses with great risks enjoy great rewards. Once you fear risks, it means you may not be in a good position to do great businesses like metal trading.
With the level of sophistication the online world has become, some people may not have the courage to trade precious metals online. However, they need to rise above such fears and learn everything they need to know to be competent in online metal trading. Before you buy precious metals from any online company or suppliers, you need to ensure they are reputable and that their track record is good.
As you may have confirmed, silver is a great precious metal and also a metal that is widely used. While only a few people can afford to purchase gold, it is possible for most people to buy silver and use it as they wish. Most people prefer buying silver since they can use it to make ornaments with unmatched elegance and durability.

Greenhouse gases are the major contributors to increasing global warming. HFC, a harmful pollutant used in air conditioners and refrigerators is the greatest threat to environment, and hence, governments across the planet have decided to do away with this dangerous element once and for all. While air conditioner manufacturers are switching to the manufacturing of Earth-friendly machines free of harmful agents, it is high time you too embrace the trend and get rid of your old air conditioners as soon as possible.
Did you know that HFCs are more dangerous to environment than Carbon Dioxide? The emergency to save the Mother Earth led to a conglomeration of more than 150 representatives of different countries in Rwanda to discuss the concern. Winding down the use of HFCs can significantly lower down the climate's temperature and alleviate global warming to a great extent. As per the meet, such an initiative will have an equal effect as that of stopping worldly fossil fuel emissions for over two years!
Following the dictum of saving the planet, Abacus AC Solutions Ltd is committed to providing green air conditioning services across UK. Apart from offering a wide range of services pertaining to installation, replacement, repair and maintenance of air conditioning in London, we also have expanded our horizons to Essex, Hertfordshire, Colchester, Kent, Nottingham and other major areas of the state. We provide fool-proof air conditioning solutions from helping you to choose best AC as per your air conditioning needs to offering annual plans to ensure the long life of the machines.

"Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD. And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD" (Joshua 24:14,15 KJV).
Whom shall Israel follow? (It depends on their circumstances!)
Surveying the Book of Judges, we see the following events repeated six times: (1) Israel committing evil by worshipping and serving pagan idols, (2) JEHOVAH God allowing Gentiles to punish and oppress them, (3) Israel crying out to God for help, (4) God sending a judge/delivered/ruler, (5) Israel having peace, (6) the judge dying, and (7) Israel returning to idolatry. One recurrent phrase is, "And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD" (2:11; 3:7,12; 4:1; 6:1; 10:6; 13:1).
The first cycle begins with Israel doing evil in the sight of the LORD. They intermarry with the Gentiles and serve their idols. God has Chushanrishathaim, king of Mesopotamia, oppress Israel for eight years. The Jews cry to the LORD for help, so he sends a judge, Othniel, to deliver them. Israel has peace 40 years. (Judges 3:5-11)
With Othniel's death, the second cycle starts. Israel again does evil in the sight of the LORD. God sends Eglon, king of the Moabites, to tyrannize the Jews 18 years. Israel cries for help, God delivers them using Ehud the Judge, and they have rest 80 years. (Judges 3:15-30)
Once Ehud dies, the third cycle commences. Israel again does evil in the sight of the LORD. God brings in Jabin, king of the Canaanites, to "mightily oppress" Israel 20 years. God raises up Deborah the Prophetess and Judge, and gives Israel victory over her enemies. The land of Israel has peace 40 years. (Judges 4:1–5:31)
Notice how Israel's apostasy originated because of two factors. Firstly, they left their heathen neighbors in their land. Secondly, they intermarried with them!
(We temporarily break away from this devotionals arc to bring a special-edition devotional tomorrow.)

Hello - we are Simon and Alex and we live in a farm house in south Wales, UK, with 2.5 acres of wildlife garden. We have a large pond, a stream, the beginnings of a wildflower meadow, a cottage garden with orchard, a small area of woodland, and area that where we are planning forest and gravel gardens. We have a polytunnel where we propagate plants and grow food. We've both been taken up with work for many years, but are now able to devote more time to the site – the basics are there but there is still a lot to do and learn.
Our two children have left home, but they are often around – there are times when the house is quiet and not so much at other times when family and friends are here. We have a friendly springer spaniel called Bill.
Our garden is a Gwent Wildlife Trust 'Local Wildlife Site' – this means that it has been recognised as a site where the owners are managing the land with wildlife in mind. Wildlife gardening is slightly different to conventional gardening – our aim is to maintain the land so that it supports wildlife and wildlife friendly plant species. We're fairly light touch – we don't do a lot of 'control' in this garden, instead we create habitat. We don't use chemicals, we try to work with the land and we don't talk much about 'pests' and 'weeds'. We try to avoid bare earth by growing ground cover plants and we're 'no-diggers', which means that we do our best to leave soil undisturbed.
Bricolage et projets de construction
You'll learn gardening skills and get an insight into wildlife and no-dig gardening.
Most of the money we spend on the garden goes into landscaping - we try to grow as many of our plants as we can ourselves. Over the next few years we'll be doing a lot of seed sewing, division and cuttings depending on the time of year. We also have hedging to plant and maintain.
A few years ago, a local Meadows group spent a day here listing the local species in our meadow – we've started doing the same with animal and insect species but have much to learn. If you have skills in plant/animal identification, or want to learn with us, then your skills would be useful.
At different times of the year we're preserving food from the garden (jams/marmalades/chutneys etc) and help is always appreciated. In September we pick our apples which we take to a farm in Herefordshire to be pressed for apple juice. This year we are cider making for the first time (in September/October).
Simon has a woodworking workshop where he makes woody stuff for the house and garden - windows, doors, tables etc. He works in Computer Aided Design. Alex's background is in cultural heritage, but she spends more time now learning yoga, knitting, crochet, sewing and quilt making. We're happy to pass on our knowledge.
Anyone who has a particular knowledge or interest in plant/animal/insect diversity is welcome. For the landscaping projects you'll need to be physically strong, but there is always less strenuous work as well.
In 2019 we will be:
- Building a gabion basket retaining wall behind the house. This will free up space above the wall for a shaded woodland area. (February-March)
- Working on two ponds which are silting up. (February-March)
- Landscaping a steep bank and an area that will become a gravel garden (April/May/June)
- Edging around beds in the cottage garden (anytime)
- Laying a terrace and path (anytime)
- Fence repair (anytime)
These projects will need some physical strength – for the pond and the landscaping we'll hopefully have a mechanical digger here as well (you won't be asked to operate any machinery).
There's always general maintenance work for which you'll need to be physically fit. This work includes:
- Propagating plants – seed sewing, division, cuttings, potting on
- Planting, pruning, coppicing
- Composting
- Hedging (winter months)
- Maintaining the grassland – we always need help raking off grass from the meadow (mid-September).
You'll need good outdoor clothes, boots and gardening gloves, but that's about it really.
English: Courant
Our workawayer accommodation has a large comfortable bedroom with views to the Welsh mountains and its own bathroom. We can accommodate a single person or a couple - the room is large enough to take a single bed as well as the double bed, so we can also accommodate two singles sharing. You can camp in the garden if you want to. There's plenty of space to park if you have transport. You'll have access to the house and garden. You can use the washing machine which is in a separate shed.
The whole house has internet, which you are welcome to use – internet for rural Wales can be a bit cranky, but we manage to work from home, watch Netflix etc.
We'll provide you with breakfast, lunch and dinner and you can help yourself to food and drink from the kitchen at any time. Help with cooking and clearing is appreciated. We can accommodate most dietary requirements
The atmosphere in the house is informal and there's plenty of space in the house and garden to relax. It's very peaceful here – we are at the end of a lane, so there's no passing traffic.
Monmouthshire is very beautiful with villages and unspoilt country side and lots of castles. There's plenty of walking, and good pubs in cycling/driving distance. If you don't have transport we are happy to help out with lifts.
We're midway between the historic towns of Monmouth and Abergavenny – both have local shops and markets. In July Monmouth holds a 9 day music festival and there's a 2 day food festival in Abergavenny in September.
If you're traveling by train or bus, we can pick you up from Newport or Abergavenny stations.

After spending 17 years welcoming people into Chicago's Field Museum, Sue the T. rex skeleton is moving to a new home.
The museum announced the move on Wednesday. Sue will be dismantled in February, and then she'll get an exhibit all to herself. A cast of the newly discovered titanosaur — the largest land animal ever found — will take her place in Stanley Field Hall.
Now, it may seem like Sue is just getting replaced by a newer, bigger, higher-profile dinosaur, but the T. rex skeleton is also getting a bit of a makeover.
In light of new discoveries regarding the dinosaur's skeleton, Sue's arms will be repositioned, and her belly will get a few more bones. Sue's new exhibit will also put the T. rex in her natural habitat, complete with the animals and plants that lived alongside her.
And Sue is worth that extra love and care. As the largest and most complete T. rex skeleton ever found, she was originally bought for almost $8 million — a big price tag that blew up the market for dinosaur bones. And it was worth it. In her first year on display, the Field Museum was visited by 2.4 million people.
Since then, Sue has also inspired children's books, a traveling exhibition and a documentary.
The opening of Sue's new exhibit and the arrival of the titanosaur skeleton will coincide with the Field Museum's 125th anniversary next year.

Hey Everyone
Today in this post
I am going to share this lovely neutral peach lipstick shade sent by Colorbar Cosmetics. I always wanted to check out this range but I have so many creamy lipsticks in my stash that I held myself back. I did some shopping from Colorbar Website couple of months ago and received this lipstick as gift. I loved the subtle n*** color and the sleek steel lipstick moment I spotted it in my courier. It was surprise and I was not aware of being sent this lipstick as freebie. Now When I am using it ,I am so thankful to Colorbar for introducing me to this range.On that little thanks note ,let's go ahead with the review!!
PRICE:750 INR for 3gm
You can buy it here at Amazon
Colorbar Sheer Creme Lust Lipcolor Subtly Nude Review
Colorbar Sheer Creme Lust Lipcolor are housed in sleek retractable lipstick packaging with a metallic silver finish regular with Colobar Lipsticks. Colobar Sheer Creme Lipsticks were launched somewhere in mid 2014 and are styled on the lines of MAC Sheen Supreme Lipsticks. Along with sleek packaging,lipstick bullet has slant tip similar to MAC Sheen Supremes. Colorbar launched 12 shades in this range catering to different skin complexions. Subtly Nude 011 is almost n*** shade with peachy undertones. It is perfect office wear shade for Fair to Medium skin complexions. I have a soft corner for these peachy neutral shades that I love to pair with coral/peach blushes with pop of color on my eyes.
Colorbar Sheer Cremes have buttery creamy texture which is extremely gentle/hydrating for drying and ageing lips. Lip color melts on lips with touch of body warmth giving a semi opaque wash of sheer peach color. Lipstick imparts glossy mirror like shine which is given to the light oils in the formula without shimmers.Formula is sans shimmer but has mild vanilla scent. Slight downside to this super creamy texture is that it may melt /crumble in heat so has to be stored properly. Subtly Nude is understated peach and doesn't intensify much on multiple swipes. But even on multiple swipes,formula doesn't settle in fine lip lines or looks patchy.Also color shows up on pigmented lips giving decent opacity. Given to the silky texture,lip color transfers a lot. With intermittent snacking the shade vanishes within couple of hours. Without snacks the glossy effect dies off fast within an hour while the color lives for 3-4 hours max.
I find Colorbar Sheer Cremes less thicker than MAC Sheen Supremes , that explains the lesser wear time when compared to MAC Sheen Supreme Lipsticks. Still Colorbar Lust Cremes are quiet revolutionary introduction to Indian Drugstore.
Colorbar Sheer Creme Lip Colors glisten up your lips with watery glossy finish survived by pure color and comfort wear on fading. Formula is enriched with light oils which hydrates with lush of color in single sweep. This range has some bright shades like Pink flamingo,Summertime,Red Carpet for bold shade lovers. I am head over heels for the comfort wear formula and for the shade itself. Wet Glossy finish adds dimension to lips with pure color. However Lipcolor doesn't last long.These are expensive for drugstore but a must try range.
Colorbar Sheer Creme Lust Lip Colors are in Indian Markets from quiet some time. Have you tried any shade from this range ? Any Likes or Hates on formula!! Share with me in comments!!

IT Help Desk Specialist
Joining an organization like EOS is something I've been aspiring to do for as long as I can remember. I've always been the type of person who wanted to make a difference in the world, but I just never found an avenue to do so. After moving up to Washington and being in retail for most of my working career, I decided it was time to make my stride and really think about what type of work I wanted to get into. After searching for jobs to apply for, I stumbled upon EOS and was excited to just even apply for an organization that has such a great message and stance on equity.

When the cold winter wind starts to blow through the house, it's time to think about hiring a window replacement in Ellicott City MD contractor. Old windows with broken seals can cause dramatic increases in energy bills. Homeowners have three materials to choose from when they are looking for replacement windows: wood, vinyl, and fiberglass. They should consider the age and style of their home, their tolerance for maintenance and the energy efficiency they desire, before deciding which material to use.
For traditional architectural features wood has no competition. Anyone living in an antique, vintage or historic home should seriously consider using only wood windows and doors. It will enhance the resale value. Potential buyers of these types of properties truly want an authentic architectural detail in traditional materials. Wood windows do last and perform well when maintained properly.
More contractors choose to use vinyl windows than any other type. They are far more affordable than wood and most of the same design elements can be achieved with them. Vinyl replacement windows have sophisticate glazing that lowers energy bills by keeping the summer heat outside the house and the winter heat inside the house. There are hybrid windows that have vinyl exteriors and wooden interiors. These provide homeowners maximum flexibility in their interior finish and color choices. They are designed to be easily cleaned while standing inside the house.
Fiberglass replacement windows are are the newest type of windows. These window frames can be eight times stronger than vinyl frames and three times stronger than wood frames. Less heat or cold can move through the frame, making it the perfect year-round insulation material. Fiberglass expands less than other frame materials so it lasts longer and keeps a better seal. It's so strong that the frame can be narrower and support more glass area. They will never need to be painted.
Replacing windows can be a very expensive home repair. Many window replacement Ellicott City MD contractors have financing options for qualified homeowners. Some work with credit card companies to provide low interest rates for home improvements. In addition to asking about their window replacement experience, it's also good to ask about their financing options.

Covenant Services 19th Aug
Week No.3-19th August
This Sunday 19th August we continue our covenant series by reflecting on The Ulster Solemn League and Covenant 1912 in this its centenary year. In 1912 there was great unity between the Presbyterians and the Church of Ireland regarding the importance and the signing of the Covenant with many churches being used as venues for signing the covenant following religious services. We will take the opportunity to look at the wording of the document, how it compares with God's covenants in Scripture and the lessons we can learn for today. This covenant was supported by almost half a million people and yet became a broken covenant. In looking at the covenants made by God we will see how totally dependable God is in keeping His promises with mankind while men and women are so undependable. This is an opportunity to view the Covenant of 1912 from a biblical perspective.

Morning Service – 11.30am

Mourning the loss of Commissioner Nick Fish1/3/2020
Portland Public Schools shares the deep sadness felt across the larger Portland community, at the news of the passing of City Commissioner Nick Fish.
Commissioner Fish was a PPS parent and in his role as a public servant, he continually supported and prioritized public education. He was a reliable friend and advocate of the district, our schools and our school communities.
Commissioner Fish was instrumental in a number of partnerships between the city and the district, including during his time in charge of the Portland Parks & Recreation. He was also particularly supportive of PPS's arts programs. He believed in the importance of nurturing creativity in all children, and that robust arts programs were central to developing students into citizens of the world.
Portland has lost an outstanding leader in Nick Fish. Portland Public Schools has lost a dear friend. He believed in public education as a bedrock of democracy. He lived his life in service to others. We will miss him dearly. Our condolences go out to Commissioner Fish's family.

Meet the Staff at Horizon Veterinary Clinic in Brighton, CO
Dr. Evan Dowdy
Growing up on his grandfather's cattle ranch in Wyoming, Evan Dowdy learned common sense and the basics of animal medicine. After earning his DVM from Colorado State University School of Veterinary Medicine, he returned to work on the ranch, where he was the only veterinarian within 40 miles. Devoting his career as a full-time veterinarian, he gathered even more experience as a full-time generalist and part-time emergency vet for three years in Pennsylvania.
In 1991, Dr. Dowdy joined Dr. Kiefer at Kiefer Veterinary Clinic, now Horizon Veterinary Clinic, a respected animal hospital established in 1946, where he continues a tradition of superior care for pets. Dr. Dowdy is currently the owner of Horizon Veterinary Clinic, and Dr. Kiefer has retired. Small animal surgery, internal medicine, acupuncture, and treatment of chronic ear problems are a few of his areas of interest. He is a member of American Veterinary Medical Association, American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), Denver Area Veterinary Medical Society, Colorado Veterinary Medical Association, and Who's Who in Veterinary Medicine (1991-1992).
"As long as I can remember, I wanted to work with animals. Treating animals is a great privilege and a responsibility I take very seriously. That's why I make sure all my four-legged patients enjoy gentle care and advanced treatments."
Dr. Dowdy's Education
DVM, Colorado State University College of Veterinary Medicine
BS, Zoology, University of Wyoming (with honors)
Dr. Stephanie Sunshine
Dr. Stephanie Sunshine is originally from Virginia, but came to Colorado to pursue her education and love of the mountains. She attended Colorado State University where she earned a bachelor's degree in microbiology. She then went on to obtain her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine. Her professional interests include preventative medicine, internal medicine, and infectious disease. Outside of work she enjoys hiking, skiing, reading, and watching movies. She has a golden retriever named Indy and an orange tabby cat named Leofynn.
Dr. Jessica Ripke
Dr. Jessica Ripke is a native of Colorado. She attended Concordia University in Seward, Nebraska and received a bachelor's degree in biology. She earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine through the combined veterinary program at University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Iowa State University. She spent almost two years as a mixed animal practitioner in central Minnesota before returning to her home state of Colorado. Dr. Ripke's professional areas of interest include surgery, ophthalmology, and small ruminant medicine and care. Away from the clinic, she is part of a local performing hand-bell choir, takes piano lessons, cheers on the hometown Rockies team, enjoys the winter sports of Nordic and downhill skiing, and takes her dog Polar for hikes in the mountains.
Dr. Elyse Landwehr
Dr. Elyse Landwehr grew up in Brighton, Colorado, watching her father work as a small animal veterinarian. She fell in love with the animals and the work, and went to CSU to pursue her education. She earned her bachelors and masters degrees in Biomedical Sciences and went on to obtain her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine, graduating in the spring of 2015. Throughout her education she continued to volunteer at Horizon Vet, gaining valuable experience and knowledge.
Dr. Landwehr loves cardiology and rehabilitation, and enjoys performing surgeries. In her free time she enjoys hiking, playing games with friends and working on small construction projects with her family. She has two dogs, a greyhound named Leo and a pit bull mix named Finnigan, and two cats Dory and Hairy Potter. Smaug the clinic cat also comes home with her on the weekends.
"I always knew I wanted to be a vet, and I have been so blessed to have grown up with such a wonderful mentor in my father, Dr. Evan Dowdy. He has taught me so much through the years and I look forward to working with him and the rest of the wonderful staff here at Horizon for many more!"

Dr. Martha Levin
Dr. Martha Levin grew up in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and moved to Colorado to pursue her education in Veterinary Medicine (and satisfy her love of the mountains!). She earned a Master's degree in Biomedical Sciences and a Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine, both from Colorado State University. While in school, Dr. Levin gained experience with pets, horses, and livestock, and even dabbled in a little laboratory research. Ultimately, she found her calling in general practice and joined the Horizon team in 2015.
Dr. Levin enjoys internal medicine and surgery. She has volunteered at a Native American spay/neuter clinic and hopes to someday combine her veterinary skills with missionary work in developing countries. She loves to spend time with friends and family, and enjoys hiking, skiing, and snowshoeing. Dr. Levin is active in her church as a Sunday School teacher and musician (she plays the violin).
"Ever since childhood I wanted to work with animals, but I never seriously considered veterinary medicine until I was a senior in college. Apparently my family knew all along I should be a veterinarian, but it took me awhile to realize it! I can't think of anything more fulfilling that I would rather do. "

Horizon Pets
Maui Boo
Maui Boo came to Horizon in the fall of 2010. Injured and found by the side of the road, she quickly worked her way into our hearts. She mostly hides in the back, but occasionally makes an appearance if needing a treat.
Newton is our newest official greeter! Bred by one of our receptionists, Maurya, he wormed his way into Dr. Evan Dowdy's heart and found a permanent home with us here at Horizon. He loves his job saying hello to everyone as they come and go, but once 5pm comes his internal clock says "Let's go!" He is also a world-renowned escape artist and keeps us all on our toes.
In Loving Memory
Dr. U.K. Kiefer
Beloved mentor and founder of our practice
David: 8/13/02 – 8/22/18
David came to Horizon Veterinary Clinic as an eight-week-old kitten in 2002. He had an injured tail that failed to heal and ultimately had to be partially amputated.

2014 December 22 | By Allan Delsaut, DD. Sudbury Denture Specialist
The process of creating dentures involves some mighty impressive technology, but now the denturist world is taking steps towards even greater technology, the 3D printer.
Are you familiar with 3-D printers? You might have seen stories about them recently, as they churn out everything from jewellery, to prosthetic limbs, to carbon fibre car parts. And now, even orthodontic appliances can be made with the help of these versatile machines.| More >>
2014 December 8 | By Allan Delsaut, DD. Sudbury Denture Specialist
Denture wearers should be aware of the need for periodic adjustments from relines to small repairs. Even the best fitting dentures can get loose after time. The first line of attack, when there seems to be something odd about your dentures is to visit your denturist.
While you might be aware of products marketed as "do-it-yourself reliners", or temporary denture fixes - beware. Many of these these products can end up doing more harm than good.| More >>

By far the greatest challenge for most denture wearers is re-learning how to eat with dentures. A lot of denture wearers simply avoid foods that give them problems, but that's not necessary. You just need to understand the mechanics and employ a few tricks to make things easier. Take some advice from the camel. | More >>

Getting used to new dentures is like anything else it takes time. If you look at the adjustment period as a journey, you'll remember that there's also a destination. Even the most experienced denture wearers have a few challenges.
Adjusting to dentures takes about thirty days. Here's what you can expect.| More >>

In the beginning there was only the Great Serpent. He coiled into a great spiral and went to sleep. His body turned into a galaxy giving life and a home to the first Snithereal.
The Snithereal are apex predators with warrior traditions deeply embedded in their society. Strength, composure, and cunning are qualities held in high-esteem. While fuel efficient, cost effective ships demonstrate a technologically advanced species, their primeval nature is entrenched. Only the blood of their victims can quench their Bloodthirst; only domination of the galaxy can satiate their hunger for power. In-Game Description

Danielle Bryk Cleaned Up With This Laundry Room Redesign
We spend a good portion of our lives doing laundry — it's just one of life's necessary evils… or joys, depending on your point of view. However you view the household chore though, it's a lot more fun to do when you have a beautiful and functional space in which to do it. Danielle Bryk teamed with contractor Rob Evans to create exactly that in this Lake House retreat of a dream home. Here's how the dynamic duo transformed a small laundry space into a larger-than-life room.
Laundry by the Lake 1 / 10 The soft colours in this room make it feel larger and more spacious than it actual is. The walls have a beautiful texture thanks to a shiplap creation courtesy of Rob and his trusty saw, and there are plenty of shelves, which means lots of necessary storage space.

There comes a time when cleaning a hardwood floor is no longer an adequate fix. If you want to restore the shine, luster and beauty to which you have become accustomed, you may have a bigger project on your hands.
Deep indentations and scratches may cut through the protective shield of you floor. This damage can lead to stubborn stains, warping and other defects where a lack of protection leaves the wood exposed.
If this describes the condition of your hardwood floor, it's probably time to consider a wood floor refinishing project. Refinishing can make solid hardwood or engineered hardwood floor look like new. When done, you can even apply a different hardwood stain color to change the mood of any residential or commercial setting.
How many times can I refinish hardwood?
A solid hardwood floor constructed with ¾-inch thick boards can be refinished around eight times over its useful life. On the other hand, engineered hardwood flooring has a multi-layered construction. The amount of times it can be refinished is determined by how thick the top layer is made during its production. The thicker the layer, the more time is can be sanded. Many engineered floors cannot be refinished because the top layer is too thin. Others can be sanded several times.
Ultimately, the number of times you can refinish a floor depends on a variety of factors, such as day-to-day wear and tear and the hardness rating of the species. Here at Just Around the Corner, we believe you can get at least 20 years of wear out of a floor before having to do a complete sanding and finishing the job.
Wood floor refinishing techniques
There are two methods of refinishing hardwood floors: traditional sanding and sandless refinishing.
1. Traditional Sanding
This approach starts with the use of a drum sander to remove the floor's surface coatings. The sander also takes out deep scratches and stains, as well as levels out uneven boards in the floor.
An industrial grade vacuum extracts the dust and particles to minimize the mess created by the sanding process. When properly sanded with varying grits and techniques, the wood is restored to a "like new" state.
After the sanding is complete and the floor is smooth, it must be meticulously vacuumed. Now, it is ready for finishing with a sealer or stain and a sealer. The traditional wood floor refinishing technique requires a multiple curing and drying process that may take about three days to complete.
2. Sandless Refinishing
Sometimes called dustless refinishing, this method offers an alternative to the traditional sanding approach. The refinisher uses a sanding machine to lightly scuff the floor's protective coating or etching and bonding chemical for ensuring adhesion of a new coat of finish on top of the existing finish.
The wood floor refinisher must repair any damaged wood before applying the new finish. Finally, a new coat of urethane is applied. The sandless wood floor refinishing process takes about one day and costs less.
The sandless method does not generate as much grime as the traditional sanding technique, but you can still expect a slight amount of dust to escape into the general environment.
Wood floor maintenance prolongs floor life
Owners who carry out a regular maintenance schedule, and re-coat the surface with urethane every 5 to 10 years, will receive many years of use before having to spend money on a wood floor refinishing project.
Wood floor refinishing can be a messy and time-consuming process. Some property owners try to do the work, but most hire a professional refinisher.
If you think your floor may need refinishing and don't know where to start, contact Just Around the Corner and speak to a flooring expert. We can get you on the right track back to the beautiful, lustrous floors you want!

Had a wonderful day at the market. I was gifted with some fresh beeswax. It is so nice and yellow and has the sweet smell of honey. If you really think about it bees are amazing creatures. They make honey which is a wonderful sweetener, they produce propolis with is great for allergies when sourced locally and they polinate our flowers and fruits and veggies. Nature is just amazing.
My day didn't end with the market. I came home and whipped up a batch of goat milk castile soap. If you haven't tried castile soap, you are missing out. I add no fragrance to my castile but it leaves the skin feeling clean yet moisturized. I need to be off here to go make some more. Hope everyone has a wonderful evening.

The key to creating identity and space in a digitalized marketing arena is efficiency and innovations. Here's how firms can deliver.
FERMONT, CA: A consumer is subjected to numerous marketing messages on phones, social media platforms, and emails, every day. The preferred medium of marketing has changed, and to be successful in the era of internet-driven connectivity, financial companies also have to rethink marketing. To ensure a place in the overcrowded space, efficient and innovative strategies can work wonders. Here are a few things companies in the financial sector must focus on to emerge successful in marketing.
• Employing Easily Accessible Data into Use
Financial institutions are data-centric, which means they have ownership of consumer data. They can utilize appropriate technologies to leverage this data and gain insights regarding their consumers. This helps in creating a consumer-specific marketing strategy and enables better targeting. The more the amount of data that companies analyze, the more accurate the insights tend to become.
• Expanding into a Multi-Channel Space
A consistent and comprehensive marketing strategy is the one that takes the multi-channel route rather than limiting itself one medium. Consumers these days use multiple devices and platforms to compare and choose. A multi-channel effort allows more visibility and better engagement with customers. Influencing consumers gets easier, and retention also increases.
• Attractive and User-Friendly Websites
A modern-looking, convenient website is essential to gain an edge on the marketing front. Continuously upgrading the content and designing allows better-looking interfaces that facilitate consumer engagement. Videos, graphics, icons, as well as color schemes, can be game-changers.
• Assess, Evaluate and Progress
Assessing how well the marketing strategies work is as important as developing one. With careful evaluation, companies get to know where they are going wrong, which tool needs optimization and which technique needs to be altered. Focusing and working on these leads to the highest level of marketing efficiency.
The right approach can create a level playing field for marketing. Knowing what to focus on and how to spend helps financial firms in minimizing wastage and maximizing returns from investments made in marketing.
