ROANOKE, Va. – Florence made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane early Friday morning near Wrightsville Beach. Although that may seem 'weak,' the impacts for us don't change. The catastrophic impacts still will stay south of us, but we maintain our stance that heavy rain and flooding will be a threat to parts of the region.
We are still expecting our heaviest rain to be late Sunday and Monday, after a few scattered storms late Friday and Saturday.
This heavy, tropical rain that develops from south to north throughout the day Sunday will linger into Monday, meaning that flash flooding will be a threat for the area. That is especially the case west of the Blue Ridge Parkway, as the tropical air gets forced up the terrain.
Some mountain roads may experience mudslides and road closures, given how wet the ground has been and then will be following this rain.
Should this become an issue, you're encouraged to check out 511.virginia.org or call 511 for road updates. DO NOT call 911 for road updates. 911 is for emergencies only.
Come Monday, there may be enough spin for an isolated and brief spin-up tornado east of the Blue Ridge. That's still a threat that we're diagnosing, but we don't anticipate an outbreak.
Once the rain leaves, the impacts still stay with us. The National Weather Service in Blacksburg is anticipating major river flooding along the Dan River with moderate river flooding along the Roanoke and/or Staunton River through the middle of next week.

Wednesday Windtrainer Workout: Bicycling's 10-Speed Intervals for Efficiency
This is a windtrainer session that is great for a developing your specific bike speed and efficiency. It is perfect for triathletes, road cyclists and mountain bikers alike.
Each Wednesday I'll post a Wind Trainer session that you can do in about 60 minutes to enhance your cycling. See a previous post about training intensity (Levels) to know how hard to work. If you are working directly with Coach Ray he will in most cases prescribe either a Power Zone or Heart Rate Zone to work within if you are training with these tools.
This session is inspired by an article from Bicycling mag.
Bicycling's 10-Speed Intervals for Efficiency
- 15min Level II WU;
- 20x 10sec Level V Cadence 90-110Rpm, 20sec Level II RI;
- 5min Level II RI;
- 20x 10sec Level V Cadence 90-110Rpm, 20sec Level II RI;
- 10min Level II CD;
- 10min Stretching
The Warm Up (WU) should be done at an intensity that is steady but not over consuming at Level II for 15 minutes.
This workout is made up of two sets. These are each made up of 20 reps taking a total of ten minutes. Start with ten seconds of riding as hard as you can in a gear that you can maintain a high cadence of between 90 & 110 Rpm, then take a 20 second Rest Interval (RI) riding at Level II. Repeat this for ten minutes (a total of 20 reps).
Spend five minutes recovering at Level II for your Rest Interval (RI) between sets.
Now it is time to repeat the first set.
The Cool Down (CD) is at a low intensity (Level II) for a minimum of ten minutes.
Finish with 10 minutes stretching to assist with the recovery.
If you would like further advice feel free to contact me.

Eleven Northeast and Mid-Atlantic States to Develop Regional Low Carbon Fuel Standard
06 January 2009
Eleven Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states will cooperate to develop a regional Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS). The 11 states—the 10 members of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) plus Pennsylvania—will work together to create an emissions-performance standard that will eventually provide incentives for energy providers to use lower-carbon fuels.
In June, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick sent a letter to the governors of all 10 RGGI states inviting them to work with Massachusetts on developing a Low Carbon Fuel Standard that would apply to the entire region, creating a larger market for cleaner fuels, reducing emissions associated with global climate change, and supporting the development of clean energy technologies. Last week, the heads of environmental protection agencies and, in some cases, energy agencies, in the states of Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont signed a Letter of Intent to tackle the challenge of reducing greenhouse gases from fuels in a joint effort.
Climate change is the issue of our time and once again states are leading the way in the absence of federal action. By taking steps to reduce the amount of carbon in fuels, we can lay the groundwork for progress in the fight against global warming. The success of RGGI shows these states can work together to make change happen.—New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) Commissioner Pete Grannis
The regional Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) initiative envisions the creation of a market-based, technologically neutral policy to address the carbon content of fuels. In addition to covering vehicle fuels, a low-carbon standard potentially could apply to fuel used for indoor heating, industrial processes and electricity generation.
In the transportation sector, such a standard could potentially encourage the use of electric-powered vehicles and biofuels that have a lower-carbon footprint than traditional fuels, based on a full life cycle analysis. The effort will discourage the use of biofuels that are likely to cause negative impacts such as crop diversion and land-use changes.
The Letter of Intent notes that the interconnected nature of fuel distribution in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions favors a regional approach to a LCFS. The LCFS effort is also a natural outgrowth of RGGI, a program that covers carbon dioxide emissions from electric power plants. The 10 RGGI states already have enacted regulations that cap CO2 emissions in the power sector and held two auctions of pollution allowances in 2008 as part of the first market-based, mandatory cap-and-trade program in the US.
The Letter of Intent also commits the 11 signatory states to drafting a Memorandum of Understanding concerning the development of a regional low carbon fuel standard program, to be forwarded for consideration by the governors of the states by 31 December 2009, or as soon thereafter as possible.
The 11 states will collaborate with the Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management (NESCAUM), which is conducting a study of a LCFS for the region. NESCAUM is an association of 8 Northeast states: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont. The states also agree to work cooperatively with other states and the federal government, and to seek to influence the design of any federal LCFS or other proposed fuels policy.
The state of California was the first to commit to a LCFS for motor vehicles, which it is now in the process of developing. (Earlier post.)

I'm so excited to announce that I've just launched the next phase of On The Brighter Side Fabrics! It's long been a dream of mine to design and sell my own designs. It was slow going but I think I finally figured out all the ins and outs of my software. We have an old Mac that has a retro fitted version of Word that doesn't LOVE working with EQ7... any who, I've lost a little hair over the whole deal but I'm over it now. On to the next!
If you're interested in being a pattern tester, please contact me. I'd like to get 3 or 4 people's honest opinion of my pattern writing skills. Gently point out what works and what can be improved on. Yeah, I said gently. I can't pay anything because I do want unbiased opinions but I can send you the pattern for free. Then, I can include your name in the pattern as a tester. No need to be an expert, I need beginners and advanced quilters to tell me if I'm making any sense.
Let me know, Heather

St. George's University Mourns Loss of Lord Walton of Detchant
John Walton, Lord Walton of Detchant, sadly passed away on Thursday, 21st April, 2016 after a brilliant career during which he made enormous contributions to many fields in medicine. Lord Walton was born on 16th September, 1922. He graduated with a first class honors MBBS from Newcastle upon Tyne, then part of the University of Durham, England, in 1945. He spent two years in the British army, becoming second-in-command of a hospital ship which covered the final evacuation of Palestine in 1948. Lord Walton spent a year at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston with Raymond D. Adams from 1953 to 1954. He was appointed Professor of Neurology in Newcastle and Dean of Medicine (1971-1981). From 1983-1989, he was head of Green College, Oxford. Lord Walton obtained his MD in 1952, FRCP in 1960, DSc in 1973, and founding fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences in 1998. He served as president for many organizations including the British Medical Association (1980-1982), the General Medical Council (1982-1989), the Royal Society of Medicine (1984-1986), the Association of British Neurologists (1986-1987), and the World Federation of Neurologists (1989-1997). He was knighted in 1978 and became a cross bench life peer in the House of Lords in 1989. Lord Walton has honorary degrees from seven British universities and from universities in France, Italy, and Thailand, and is an honorary member of 21 national neurological associations.
Lord Walton served as a first president of WINDREF (UK) from 1999-2002. He made many visits to Grenada and gave the WINDREF lecture titled "A doctor in the house" in 2002. For his contributions he also was awarded the Mike Fisher Memorial award in 2010. He loved his local football team, Newcastle United, and he thoroughly enjoyed playing golf with a tremendously competitive spirit, a quality he brought to everything he put his hand to. Lord Walton's clear thinking, brilliant mind, and incisive but fair decisions were much appreciated and will be greatly missed by everyone.

Moron Weather
Sunday got warm, and yesterday, when we had a huge physical task to complete, lugging bags and bicycles from here to there and then out-there, it was hot and humid, and we were drenched with sweat. Even last night, leaving Darling Baby, it was hot. And humid. And foggy. It was horrible. Then, this morning, suddenly it is 46° again – still cloudy and foggy, but it feels lighter, less humid. I checked good old Weather Underground, and here is what the temperatures looked like through the early morning:
It dripped 20° from 4:23 to 7:10. This is very strange weather, and a lot of people are getting colds, or having trouble breathing, or having migraines from the air pressure or changes. It is bizarre weather!

There's much to be said about the revitalization of Westerly's downtown scene over the past few years, and lot of it can be said thanks to the generous contributions of Chuck and Deborah Goodrich Royce. Most people are aware of the Royce's philanthropic impact on our beautiful town, but what you might not know is that Deborah can now add "published author" to her long list of achievements. "Finding Mrs. Ford," which will be on shelves June 25, is Deborah's first novel, and she laughs when she refers to herself as "a mature debutante."
Brought to you by
Deborah grew up in Detroit and found success as a film and television actress in the 1980s and early 1990s, starring in the ABC soap opera "All My Children" and hit shows like "St. Elsewhere," "Beverly Hills 90210," and "21 Jump Street." After having children, she decided to take a step back from the spotlight in favor of behind the scenes work as a reader and story editor for film studios. She also took this time to begin working on her own writing in the early 2000s and developing a screenplay, but she says she only got really serious about writing five years ago.
"I had been writing for a long time, but I wasn't doing much with it," Deborah said. "So what I decided to do is just to start telling people that I was writing a novel. I thought if I went public with this and said the words out loud, then I might force myself to make a bigger commitment. I wanted to take that risk."
Following these public declarations, Deborah got to work. While many writers extol the value of writing every day at the same time with no deviations, Deborah's complicated schedule and varied commitments left her feeling strained by this method.
"I was only writing one day a week this way, which is nowhere near enough," she shared. "Fortunately, we live in the age of the smartphone, so I sat down and charted out three to six hour blocks at different times every day for the next three months in my calendar, and that enabled me to really get into my writing when I could while still taking care of the rest of my life."
This is not to say that no sacrifices have been made along the way – whole weekends were sometimes spent writing alone in her Connecticut home, and some hobbies, board commitments, and social events were put on the back burner in favor of achieving her literary goals in a timely manner. "You have to know yourself and not listen to what other people's formulas are, but just get a feeling for how and when you work best and what's the most practical approach," Deborah explained.
As we now know, Deborah's risks and methods were a success and have led to the publication of her first novel, "Finding Mrs. Ford," which is the story of a woman whose life is upended when a mysterious figure from her past reemerges. Deborah pitches the novel, which has been hailed by Kirkus Reviews as "a compelling, well-written thriller with an effective, twisty plot," by explaining that it becomes clear early on that Susan Ford is hiding something, and we spend the rest of the book figuring out exactly that might be.
"It's really centered around the idea of identity, particularly the identity of women, which I've always found intriguing," Deborah explained. "It is my belief that many of us lead something of an episodic life with very distinct chapters for our careers and families, but what interests me is who we really are when placed in different circumstances and situations."
Deborah's choices in settings were deliberate and based on her own life, with the book taking place in her hometown of Detroit and also her frequent summer destination of Watch Hill. The stark differences between the two locations highlight the identity crisis her protagonist faces, as her upbringing in a suffering community on a long decline in tandem with the American auto industry is contrasted against the rarified and gentile resort community of Watch Hill. The book begs the question, can a person come into a new community like this and totally reinvent herself, and what sort of challenges and risks are involved in that process?
Deborah also feels that her experience with stepping away from her success as an actress has helped to further her understanding of how a person's identity can change dramatically depending on which arenas they are currently occupying. "Fame and recognition is an interesting thing to have and then not have," she reflected, going on to explain that this shift her life helped set the stage for greater exploration of the themes she now presents in "Finding Mrs. Ford" as well.
Now that her first novel is complete, Deborah can start focusing on other endeavors, both separate and related. Towards the latter, she has already completed the first draft of a second novel, entitled "Ruby Falls," which she calls more gothic and spooky in nature, in the realm of "Rebecca," "The Woman in White," and "Jane Eyre."
Of course, she's mainly keeping busy these days preparing for the launch of "Finding Mrs. Ford," which will take place on Sunday, June 30 at 5 p.m. at the Watch Hill Chapel. The launch is hosted by Literacy Volunteers of Washington County and all proceeds from the event will go towards furthering their mission of providing free literacy (reading, writing, basic English skills) programs to adults throughout the region.
The evening will include a conversation and Q&A session between Deborah and Torey Malatia, a Westerly resident and CEO and General Manager of the Public's Radio, before transitioning into a book signing and party at the Ocean House.
The book launch could be called the perfect marriage of what Deborah enjoys most; the literary world, and philanthropy. Since meeting and marrying Chuck Royce in the early 2000s, the couple has embarked on numerous charitable adventures, restoring buildings and assisting with the establishment of new businesses and organizations all over the country.
"We're both really big believers in Main Street revitalization," Deborah explained.
Having grown up in a suburb with nothing but houses and strip malls, she knows from experience how important it is to foster a lively downtown experience to help attract and retain residents of all ages.
"Westerly has such good bones," she continued. "The buildings are gorgeous, whether made of brick or stone or wood. It's just a beautiful town, from the architecture to the community, and we believe that people really thrive wherever there's a real bookstore, a real theater."
So as you stroll about downtown Westerly this summer, taking in the murals and architecture and sea air, be sure to swing by the Savoy this summer to pick up a copy of "Finding Mrs. Ford" and discover the thrilling secrets Deborah Goodrich Royce has carefully crafted for you to enjoy.

.. कर्म [karma] is not something concrete ..
it's a concept of the mind ...

the result of our daily moral and habit,

to get out of संस्कार [samskāra], ..
it's urgent tonight to wait for a long while ..
to come in peace endlessly..
to stay totally immobile ..
.. and to remain fully silent ..
for no purpose ..
.. because everything we dream for is already
beautifully here and now,
present and fulfilled ..

to ruin this amazing beauty,
this grateful presence, .. this thankful silence, ..

and this stillness that includes everything ..
संसार [samsara] and संस्कार [samskara] mechanics of कर्म [karma]

I do not know what I know ..
I do not know what saves me and loses me ..
I do not believe what I believe.
I do not believe in what believes and decreases in me ..
I do not desire what I desire
I do not desire what desires and what hates me ..
I am not what I am ..
I am not what I become and what I have been ..
I do not remember it easily.
do I know what I believe ?
do I believe in what I want ?
do I want what I am ?
am I what I know ? » ..

This option is definitely the most time-efficient and least troublesome of all the options. However, not everyone has enough money on hand to purchase a home in Kirkland, which is why we have included other options listed below as well.
A conventional loan is the most common way for someone to purchase a home in Kirkland, WA. Conventional loans require a percentage down first from the buyer's pocket, and then the amount that the loan covers will be paid back over a 10-40 year period. There are conventional loans that break down into 80% / 20% where the buyer actually applies for two loans to cover 100% of the property and brings no money to closing. These loans are not as easy to obtain anymore but with good credit can still be found. A conventional loan typically helps those selling one home to buy another and can put down a substantial amount at closing. The loans are often lower interest rate and better terms.
An FHA loan is a federal assistance mortgage loan in the United States insured by the Federal Housing Administration. The goal of an FHA loan is to make it self-supporting, based on insurance premiums paid by the buyers. FHA loans usually require a minimum of 3% down and will have the added cost of mortgage insurance to cover in case of default. The benefit is most buyers don't have to have excellent credit to qualify but the home they purchase does have to meet certain safety standards.
A VA loan is accessible only to people who have previously served in the U.S. Military.
For more information on which loan might be right for you and to receive updates or info on any home or property in the Bellevue or Kirkland real estate area, please send us your name and email and we would be happy to assist you.

Warning of "Next Big One" Under Trump Administration's Expanded Drilling Plans,
Advocates Seek Urgent EPA Action on the Toxic Dispersant Corexit
San Francisco, CA-March 25—The University of California-Berkeley Environmental Law Clinic today announced a lawsuit to compel the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to issue rules on the use of chemical agents such as Corexit (NASDAQ: ECL) to clean up oil spills. Instead of mitigating environmental harm, Corexit dispersants have proven to be more toxic to humans and the environment than the oil alone.
In the first procedural step for such a lawsuit, the groups today filed a "Notice of Intent to Sue" on behalf of environmental justice and conservation groups and individuals who personally experienced the toxic effects of Corexit in the Exxon Valdez or BP Deepwater Horizon oil spills or who have actively worked to ban these products in their waters.
"The EPA's failure to update its oil spill response plan since 1994 is inexcusable, unlawful and very dangerous," said Purba Mukerjee, a supervising attorney at the UC-Berkeley Environmental Law Clinic, whose students are part of the legal team in today's action.
"The next major oil spill is a matter of when, not if," said marine toxicologist Dr. Riki Ott, director of the Earth Island Institute's A.L.E.R.T. project and a plaintiff in the lawsuit. "When it comes to Corexit, the EPA has had the benefit of more than 25 years of scientific knowledge, advice from its own Inspector General, and extensive public input. Given the Trump administration's plan to open up 90 percent of our U.S. coastal areas to oil and gas drilling, the need for action is critical."
In addition to Dr. Ott, individual and organizational plaintiffs in the case are:
"The Beaufort Sea is wide-open for oil and gas lease sales this year. That's our grocery store—that's where we hunt and fish," said plaintiff Rosemary Ahtuangaruak, who successfully advocated for over a dozen tribal resolutions opposing the use of dispersants in the spill response plans for the Arctic. "My community lives in fear of an oil spill —and dumping of toxic dispersants in Arctic waters. The Iñupiat people depend on the animals of the land and the sea to live and thrive. The EPA's failure to act is putting our lives, our land and our future at risk."
Plaintiff Kindra Arnesen, a commercial fisherwoman in Louisiana, saw her life turned upside-down in the wake of the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon disaster. Along with countless members of her community, she, her husband David and their two children were sickened with migraines, lesions, rashes, and respiratory problems that persist to this day. The damage to the Gulf waters also decimated their once-thriving family fishing business. "One reason the oil companies like Corexit is because it causes the oil to sink and makes the water look clear, when in fact it's actually increasing the toxicity," said Arnesen, who has become a leading community activist. "We need an oil response plan that's a clean-up, not a cover-up."
As explained in today's filing, the use of dispersants like Corexit is an oil spill response method outlined in a set of federal regulations called the National Contingency Plan, which governs our nation's oil and chemical pollution emergency responses. The Clean Water Act directs EPA to periodically review the Plan and update it to account for new information and new technology. But the EPA has not updated the plan since 1994, and that update did not even incorporate lessons learned from the long-term ecosystem studies following the Exxon Valdez disaster that occurred 30 years ago on March 24, 1989 — much less the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon disaster.
In response to public pressure from Dr. Ott and other plaintiffs involved in today's filing, the EPA finally initiated a rulemaking proceeding and invited public comment on the use of Corexit in oil spill response actions. By the time the rulemaking comment period closed in April 2015, the agency had received over 81,000 responses, the majority of which called for reducing use of oil-based chemical dispersants while decreasing their toxicity and increasing their efficacy. Since that time, the EPA has been silent on the issue.
The EPA's failure to conclude the process to issue updated regulations, the groups say in today's filing, not only violates the agency's administrative obligations under the law, but also puts at risk the 133 million or so Americans who live near the coasts, making up 39 percent of the U.S. population, and the millions more who live near lakes, rivers, or along oil pipeline corridors and who are in harm's way of the next 'big one'.
As Claudia Polsky, Director of the Environmental Law Clinic, explains: "Use of toxic dispersants poses tragic, unnecessary, and too-often-invisible harms on top of the obvious harms caused by upscaling oil production on a warming planet."
The Notice names Andrew Wheeler, Administrator of the EPA, as well as Attorney General William P. Barr. The EPA has 60 days from the date of today's Notice to update its oil spill response plans and address the problems with the use of dispersants. If it fails to do so, the groups will file a lawsuit in federal court.

The Taste of Kedleston Menu At Kedleston County House
Published On Sunday 18 Jun 2017 by Sticky Beak
See Recent Dining Out Reviews | See All Recent Reviews
Kedleston Country House has a new Manager, Samantha Ascroft, who along with Head Chef Joe Wood and his amazing kitchen team, has devised a superb summer menu using the best seasonal produce. The showcase evening for this menu was last week and we were kindly invited along to sample the new delights and meet Samantha too.
The building itself is stunning anyway, but the lovely evening sunshine just seemed to bring things even more alive; especially in the Orangery where the evening was being hosted. The Orangery has beautiful slate flooring and the natural light was such that all its subtle tones could be appreciated; its red brick walls were also more vibrant in the sunlight,and their warmth created a great cosiness. All the greenery was at its peak; ferns, grasses and even potted bamboo, which looked stunning and brought the space to life.
Alex showed us to our table, one that afforded us a brilliant position from which to see the other guests arriving; I do like to indulge in a spot of people-watching as you know dear reader! His Nibs had fancied a pint of Poretti beer and I was in the mood for a cheeky, chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc. It must be said that there is a fantastic range of wines and beers to be had at Kedleston Country House.
Another young lady, Rosie, brought over two Lincolnshire Poacher cheese puffs for us to nibble on, and they were just the thing to get our taste buds on alert. The puffs themselves were lovely and warm so that the centre revealed the gooey cheese; they managed to be light in the mouth, but substantial enough to be savoured. Personally I love Lincolnshire Poacher cheese because it has a lovely robust tang to it that can't fail to be noticed on the palate, but it doesn't linger in the mouth and leave a nasty aftertaste.
You may recall in earlier reviews that I've written about Kedleston Country House that I mentioned the rather delicious Beer Bread that Chef Joe serves with butter and (this time) Pork Dripping. I'm happy to report that Alex brought a lovely metal basket containing a warm, fresh mini loaf of this tasty morsel to our table for us to enjoy, and we greedily broke it apart in double-jig time!
As our starters were being brought to us several other tables were arriving and soon the Orangery came to life with the bubble of chatter and laughter. There was a pleasing mix of tables too from groups of older couples, to just couples, as well as a table of young men enjoying a boy's night out with a twist.
I had chosen Lobster, Sea Trout, and dressed Crab with Fennel, Saffron, and Beach Herbs for my first course and The Man opted for Lamb Shoulder, and Sweetbread, with Pea Purée, Broad Beans and Mint for his starter.
No surprises to see that the food was presented artfully, with each element carefully positioned to please the eye. All three types of fish and seafood on my plate were incredibly fresh and flavoursome; the Sea Trout fillet was firm and dense with a light taste, the Lobster tail was deliciously fragrant and meaty in texture, and the white Crab meat was so incredibly sweet and juicy to eat.
A delicate dot of Caviar decorated the Sea Trout, and its salty note lifted the fish within the mouth. Another summer taste that I adore is Samphire; I've waxed lyrical about the memories this morsel evokes for me, so I was very happy to savour its crunch on this occasion. Gentle aniseed hints and texture were added thanks to the judicious use of Fennel seeds scattered on the Saffron Mayonnaise. It was a clean, vibrant starter dish that scored top marks from yours truly, not just for its flavour, but also for its presentation.
The Man Bird was just as thrilled with his Lamb starter. The rounds of shoulder meat were topped with paler sweetbreads and had fronds of Pea shoots adorning them, with droplets of verdant Pea purée interspersed around the plate and Baby Broad beans nestled in this. What he really loved though was the crispy outer the shoulder rounds had, and the way the meat shredded apart in ribbons yielding their lovely sweet, rich taste in the mouth.
The sweetbreads were creamier and more delicate in flavour obviously and they had a tender texture too. The lightly minted pea purée and broad beans were both superbly sweet; being in season really does showcase them at their finest point, they manage to be delicate but full of taste at the same time.
Juliana asked how were enjoying our starter and asked if we were ok for drinks, returning a short while later to clear our empty plates away. At this point Samantha managed to come over and have a quick chat to us, which was lovely, and we spent a few minutes getting to know each other. It was wonderful to see Ian, the Maitre D' again, he is such a gentleman and nothing is too much trouble for him. Last night he was running a very tight ship making sure his team are focussed and happy, providing the highest standard of service to the guests dining at Kedleston Country House.
One thing that stood out for His Nibs and I during the evening was the fact that Samantha was supporting her team at a large table of guests to ensure the efficient clearing of plates and delivery of food. It was lovely to see that she was also going around each of the tables talking to diners, checking on their comfort and satisfaction.
For our main courses we had chosen Sea Trout "Potato Scales", Smoked Salmon, Asparagus, Peas, Broad Beans, and Horseradish (my choice), and Packington Pork Belly and Cheek, Cauliflower, and Smoked Raisin purée (The Mans selection). Our eyes goggled at the beauty before us, Chef Joe Wood and his talented team really were on fire with these dishes!
The Pork belly was lovely and creamy; very tender and a lovely crisped, thin layer of the fat on the top. Hardly any pressure was needed from the knife because the meat was coming apart so easily. Joe had served the cheek two ways; first up was the plain way, just the cheek cooked and laid on the plate, and then there was a croquette of the cheek to savour as well.
The cheek meat is obviously more robust in flavour and denser textured because of the use it gets in the animals daily life. You can't beat a wonderfully crispy croquette and Kedleston Country House really does serve a great version; superbly crispy outside, not at all oily, and packed with nicely seasoned Pork cheek. The smoked Raisin purée went incredibly well with the pork and charring the Cauliflower florets really brought their flavour out.
My Sea Trout fillets were decorated with Potato "scales"; tiny rounds of Potato that had been coloured on one side to look like real fish scales. It looked so beautiful, that I sat and just studied it for a minute to really appreciate the skill, care, and artistry that went into assembling it. Thankfully it tasted as great as it looked! The rounds of Salmon mousse were equally delicious; the Salmon itself hadn't completely been blitzed, giving a great textural element to this part of the dish. I loved the hint of Horseradish in the mousse as it just imparted the merest whisper of warmth to the palate.
Another summer vegetable that gets my taste buds hopping with glee is Asparagus; I don't care what anyone says it really is great in season. Granted, if it is allowed to mature too long then the stalks can get rather tough and woody, but the stalks used at Kedleston were young and tender and bursting with sweetness.
Katy came to check how we were enjoying our mains, and was very happy to hear our praise, saying that she would pass our comments to Chef Joe and his team.
The summer menu at Kedleston Country House also offers light bites and classic dishes and refreshing salads as well as the "Taste of Kedleston" evening menu, so whatever time of day it is, there is always something delicious to eat. If you fancy a more traditional afternoon experience then their marvellous Afternoon Tea menu with all its freshly made cakes and artisan bread sandwiches is sure to delight.
I can honestly say that I could've eaten all 13 dishes (excluding the cheese course) on the Taste of Kedleston menu that we were sampling. The four starters, four mains, and five puddings have clearly had a lot of thought put into them and utilise seasonal ingredients for maximum flavour. Some of them came from the Kitchen Garden that Chef Joe Wood has carefully been nurturing and I really do believe that small-scale produce has a better taste than commercial versions.
Priced at £29.50 for two courses or £35 for three courses (£3 supplement for the Cheese course as dessert) the Taste of Kedleston summer menu is very good value given the quality, and quantity, of the food you get.
I had already decided what I was having for dessert from the very first second I saw it; Joes Rhubarb and Custard Soufflé. Last time The Boy Wonder and I visited Kedleston I had the Soufflé and it was so good the memory is burned in my brain! Alex at this point told us that Chef, however, had other ideas and had done a special dessert just for His Nibs and me.
Well it turned out to be not just one dessert, it was three delightful morsels. Homemade Cherry Iced Cream (in the traditional sense), Pistachio sponge, and a White Chocolate Mousse had all been lovingly arranged on wooden platters and fresh Cherry halves and Pistachio nuts were arranged between them.
Where to begin? The Cherry Ice Cream had been handmade and there were tiny pieces of ice to crunch in it, rather than it being the homogenous modern version, so that you got little tingles on the tongue from it! Cream is, well, creamy and fairly innocuous tasting naturally, so the addition of tart, slightly sour Red Cherries to it gave it a superb vibrancy in the mouth. Genius!
The Pistachio sponge was ludicrously light; I have absolutely no idea how Joe managed to create such a masterpiece, I didn't know cake could be this airy. It had a lovely delicate hint of the Pistachio in it and took on the natural green colour of the nut.
The White Chocolate Mousse had been wrapped in a Cherry Gel and the contrasting colours really did look gorgeous. What we loved about this mousse is the fact that despite its immense richness it isn't at all heavy on the tummy, win-winJ. The tangy Cherry gel also provided a great contrast of flavour to this dessert against the smoothness of the Chocolate.
As is our usual habit, we ordered coffees to round things off and that's when The Man Birds' beady eyes spotted Alex coming towards our table with another pudding! Joe, exceptionally thoughtfully given how busy his kitchen was, had made us "The Sticky Tribute" Soufflés! With it being so popular an evening I never got to thank Chef Joe Wood personally, but I want to say a huge thank you; such a kind and generous gesture really did touch us both.
If heaven had a restaurant, this would be the dessert they would serve! This gossamer-light soufflé rivalled the Empire State building in height and had tiny pieces of toffee within it; my mouth was in a state of un-paralleled glee, doing several dances of joy simultaneously. You're probably thinking that this is as good as it could get, right? Wrong! There was a mini jug of Toffee sauce to pour over the soufflé too; well it would've been rude not too ;) Another scoop of the Cherry Ice Cream with homemade granola clusters was also on the board, and the contrast between temperatures and textures was the proverbial icing on the cake.
As Ian came to clear our platters away, I told him that if Joe went missing I'd kidnapped him and he was making me endless Soufflés. He asked for our address, and when I replied that I couldn't tell him because then they'd rescue Joe back to Kedleston, Ian replied "No, it's so that I can come and join you in eating the Soufflé". I like your style Ian, I like it very much.
In addition to the Summer menu being available on a daily basis the Kedleston Country House has some incredible events coming up all over the summer and then on into the Festive season, including Christmas and New Year packages. Go and check out their website for more details and see for yourselves. Hot Wings unreservedly given again to the Kedleston team, you really are wonderful.

The Rosebuds Birds Make Good Neighbors
Published Oct 01, 2005Founded during a period that should have been spent on Ivan Howard and Kelly Crips honeymoon, the Rosebuds may be just rock couple schtick in the eyes of some, but on this, their second full-length album, they should put all nay saying to rest. To put it bluntly, their 2003 debut, Make Out, was a bit of a bore that never seemed to go beyond safe and sweet indie pop rock. Within seconds of the gleaming "Hold Hands & Fight, Birds Make Good Neighbours erases any doubts their debut raised and will even have you wondering if its the same band. With a crisp, echo-laden texture akin to a number of 80s acts like the Chameleons and Echo and the Bunnymen, the band adapt beautifully and come into their own sound (one not unlike their label-mates the Clientele, who could learn a thing or two here). Within this environment, Howard and Crip dont fall completely into the 80s; "Leaves Do Fall springs about like a spaghetti western soundtrack and "The Lovers Rights has the dreamy sentimentality and kick of Phil Spectors girl group material. However, its "Blue Bird that is the showstopper, turning Howard into a butter-melting crooner as he smoothly speaks his words over sprawling reverb-heavy guitars and a faint, steady beat. Birds Make Good Neighbors is easily one of the nicest surprises of the year. (Merge)

26 Apr 2019Neat and clean
We enjoyed our sail in Golden star ferry which was newish, sparkling clean and spacious. There was plenty of space with different types of seat layout, including the reclining seats. The ferry was kept clean all the time and was on time. There were multiple food bars and the staff were friendly and polite. Would recommend this ferry to anyone. For those who booked tickets via different websites, they need to convert the ticket at Golden star ferry counter for an additional charge of 1€ per ticket. That is the only slight inconvenience, hence only 4 stars for check in procedure.

Review by FILIPE SANTIAGO DOMINGUEZ
28 Aug 2013Fast, but late and expensive (Aug 2013, Piraeus to Mykonos and back)
Although the service was twice the speed of the others, on both my journeys they were at least an hour late coming into port! When I'm paying over 100 euros for a round trip, I don't find that very impressive. On-board, the ferries were pleasant enough. Comfy seating, helpful if nonchalant staff. The bars sell over-priced snack food which will do in a pinch, but better to wait until you hit your destination. Confused by the same weird nature video playing on both journeys with no sound, presumably meant to be entertainment. Unfortunately the ferries are so fast and choppy you can't go out on deck either, which is always a favourite bit of ferry travel for me. All that said, they got me to where I needed to go quicker than the other lines would have done. In future, I'd probably try a different line unless timings or other circumstances compelled me to use Seajets again!
Review by Anon
12 Jul 2013Never again
We received an email with a change of time of departure that stated that no action was required from us. When the seajet finally arrived we boarded in a very disorganised chaos and rushed to the upstairs sitting area. To our surprise we couldn't find our seats. Trying to get someone from the crew to help was impossible. They were rude, repeating 'go upstairs for you seat' but no help at all. After a lot of frustration and shouting a female member of the crew said that Seajets had problems over the last month and change the ship that are seats were booked for! I don't know why they couldn't issue us with new tickets obviously booking early is not seemed normal! He whole experience made the start of my holiday very unpleasant as I have never been met with such lack of service in Greece. I would definitely try to make alternative plans for my return and will not recommend SeaJets to anyone.
Review by Tatiana Papantoniou
01 Jun 2013NEVER rely on Sea Jets
We had a tight schedule planned to make sure we arrived at a friends wedding on time in Paros. Having successfully got to Rafina we were told that our Sea Jets ferry was canceled due to 'a mechanical fault'. As a result we had to buy new tickets and wait 5 hrs for another ferry which took 5hrs instead of 1.4. As a result we arrived 8 hours late to Mykonos. We were then to catch a Sea Jet ferry to Paros. This again was cancelled! We left the next day 6 hours later. We also found that a majority of the wedding guests also had cancelled Sea Jet ferries due to a 'current in the sea'. We had no notice, no guidance or support and worst of all our B and B lady later found out in Greek that the ferries were all cancelled because they had not sold enough tickets to make it worth it for them. This was a massive disappointment which caused a lot of stress and people to miss the wedding and their flights home. A stark contrast to the excellent customer service we received throughout the rest of our stay.

Gift-Wrapped Insulation Specification
Imagine if your air barrier and vapor retarder specifications for metal buildings were similar to the gifts you wrapped this past holiday? Imagine an enormous vapor retarder sheet starting from the floor, pulled up to ceiling, then pulled throughout a 200-foot-long building bay and down to the floor on the other side. One continuous durable sheet that requires only perimeter bay sealing and zero penetrations through the sheet membrane versus many current specifications incorporating only 60-inch- to 72-inch-wide vapor retarder strips and requiring time-consuming and ineffective taping or stapling. Stoughton, Wis.-based Thermal Design's new AutoCeil automated insulation system was specified to wrap each building bay for a new pelt-processing facility in southern Wisconsin with the key design objectives of reducing air infiltration and creating a more energy-efficient thermal envelope.
Waterloo, Ind.-based Nucor Building Systems provided the 30,000-square-foot metal building (142 feet by 200 feet), including the specified ceiling support struts for the high R-value insulation system. Struts were placed every 10 feet and connected to attachment plates on mainframe rafter webs. Roof insulation system was specified to meet the 2015 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and incorporated two layers of Denver-based Johns Manville's unfaced metal building insulation, totaling a pre-installed R-38. Envelope design was to reach high installed R-value with minimal insulation compression using the cavity space between the purlins. Thermal Design developed this method using support straps fastened to the bottom-side of the purlins to create the space for the Simple Saver System. However, the new AutoCeil system provided all the same benefits, but eliminates the time-consuming, bottom-side support straps and fastening because of the specified strut design.
Custom-sized AutoCeil sheets were used, each approximately 30 feet wide by 245 feet long, to cover the entire ceiling bay and both sidewalls in one continuous piece. Sheets were folded, wrapped and labeled for the appropriate bay and were accompanied with all the equipment and tools required for the installation. Each AutoCeil sheet was placed inside the designated bay at one sidewall while the AutoCeil winches were secured to the foundation on the opposite end of the building. Installers unfolded the sheet on the ground and installed the pulling assembly to the sheet. Winch cables were manually pulled up to the ceiling plane, over all ceiling struts and down to the staged sheet at the opposite sidewall.
Approximately 200 feet away, one operator from the ground used push button controls to wind up the cables and lift the sheet straight up the wall to where it transitioned to the ceiling. The operator continued to pull the sheet throughout ceiling plane until it reached the other side, then transitioned down to the floor. Within 20 minutes, over 5,700 square feet was pulled in the entire ceiling bay and instantly covered both sidewalls.
The strong sheet was tensioned and locked in place to corner strut on each sidewall. By eliminating the bottom-side strap and fastening, it only required three installers less than two hours to tension, lock and seal the system in place. Production rates with the project were over five times as fast to install with the automated system compared to Thermal Design's other liner systems.
Once sealed, it was certified for OSHA compliance for fall protection. At one point during the building process, the erector had to stop installing the sheet in the next bay so the insulation and decking crew on the roof could try and catch up. AutoCeil specification also made it easy for mechanical, electrical and plumbing contractors because the visible support struts provided easy attachment and fastening points, which maintained the zero penetration vapor and air barrier design.
The wall insulation system was also specified to meet the 2015 IECC; however, the wall assembly did not include rigid board/continuous insulation (ci) as prescribed in the energy code. The alternative AutoCeil wall specification utilized a thick, unfaced and uncompressed single-layer, pre-installed R-30 fiberglass insulation within the wall girts, and was installed out of the wind and weather. The AutoCeil wall sheet was sealed along the columns, at the floor and mechanically fastened. It provided a clean interior appearance.
Over half the United States has adopted new energy codes for metal buildings, which require effective air barrier design and transitions from compressed to full-thickness insulation methods, supported in the roof and walls. Our industry's quality steel erectors are in high demand, considering the new envelope stringencies, installation methods, tight project windows and the increasing demand for metal buildings. The gift-wrapped Auto- Ceil specification for the processing facility provided speed, safety and scheduling benefits for the erector, a thermal envelope design that exceeded energy code requirements with zero penetrations and a bright, clean facility.

The Veggie Garden Cheater
Last year I barely did any vegetable gardening, and this year, many seeds would be getting started too late, so I've been shopping for (gasp) already started plants from nurseries.
It never seems like cheating to do that with flowers or herbs, but, the vegetable garden is this highly organized, precise bit of measuring, and placing seeds just so. It is almost mathematical in the timing, the seed depth, the watering and feeding needs of the many tricksy vegetables you can grow. I find them a fascinating challenge.
This time, my worries in the vegetable garden are less, I just need to feed and water them, they're all off to a good start, I just need to keep them happy.
I had wildly purchased a little pack container with four six inch long stalks of corn. I was not gifted with a single ear the last time I tried to grow corn from seed. While looking to see how best to place and grow these, I kept coming across "Three Sisters". At first I thought this was some nursery or group of garden writers I didn't know anything about. But noooo.
The Three Sisters are Corn, Pole Beans and Squash. The Corn provides something for the beans to climb. The Beans magically pull nitrogen from the air and put it into the soil as an enrichment, the Squash shades the roots of the others and provides a weed suppressing cover.
Here's a good explanation from Renee's Garden Seeds:
Here is my approximation of a nicely planted Three Sisters Garden:
I'm going to add stakes around the bed and also some chicken wire to discourage the squash from taking over the entire garden. I think that will provide a foil. I'm also thinking I'd like to provide a bit of trellising with either bamboo or the many sticks/branches I've gathered for the purpose from my trees. I'm picturing something like this:
I am trying Celery for a second time. I didn't realize that they were so water hungry and shallow rooted, last time out, so I'll be making sure they're happy this time. They came in a pack with an indeterminate number of seedlings---they were all sort of stuck together, so I separated them as best as I could and put them in a bed in front of some new daylilies (all pinks) I purchased this season.
I planted them yesterday and am keeping an eye on them today from my window while it helpfully rains somewhat today. They look happy so far.
No picture (and you can thank me for that because you'd be horrified) but I am trying a watermelon for the umpteenth time. Only pumpkins prove more illusive as I try to grow them in the garden. After reading about the beastie that is the watermelon, I see that I never gave it the room it needed. Its getting its own bed, and my usual cucumber support and a fence will give it climbing room. I had no idea they had a big monster root system, so my attempts to grow it in raised beds with a landscape fabric liner were sad for the powerhouse plants these wanted to be. Try putting an elephant in a jelly jar....
So, I am woefully short of garden dirt to fill my newer beds this year (they stopped carrying the one I loved at my local garden center). Ruthless dog that I am, I dumped a single bag in a mound in the center of a 3 x 6 bed and put Mr. Watermelon in it. I figure it can get a start and it can dig down and under if it wishes, while I slowly fill the rest of the bed. Could work.

Citroën G Van prototype
The Citroën G Van was the 1948 prototype built by Citroën of a small truck which looked like a scaled down version of the H Van, and equipped with an enlarged version of the 2CV flat twin enlarged to 475 cc.
Front suspension was akin to that of the 2 CV but with twin suspension arms while the springing medium was by torsion bars front and rear.
It was never put into production, the decision was made to employ the 2 CV running gear instead in the AZU/AK series, which were not quite as good in terms of volumetric efficiency. One model of the G Van has survived till today.

Leonhard Schmitz
Dr Leonhard Schmitz FRSE LLD (1807 – May 1890)[1] was a Prussian-born classical scholar and educational author, mainly active in the United Kingdom. He is sometimes referred to in the Anglicised version of his name Leonard Schmitz.
Schmitz was born in Eupen in what was then Prussia (now in Belgium) close to the Belgium/Germany border.
He attended gymnasium in Aix-la-Chappelle to the east (now called Aachen and within modern day Germany). He lost his right arm in an accident at the age of 10, but nonetheless excelled academically. He studied at the University of Bonn, where he earned a PhD, and was in particular influenced by Barthold Georg Niebuhr; Schmitz later published in England a collection of notes taken from Niebuhr's lectures as Lectures on Roman History (1844).[1]
He became associated with a number of scholars there, writing many of the mythological entries for classicist William Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, and serving as "a key figure in the transmission of German classical scholarship to Victorian Britain".[2]
Schmitz moved to Scotland in 1846 to serve as rector of the Royal High School in Edinburgh from that year until 1866. He lived at 11 Carlton Terrace on Calton Hill very close to the school.[3]
He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1846 his proposer being James Pillans.
In his induction speech he expressed the hope that his appointment would be "the means of strengthening and increasing the intellectual sympathy which has so long existed between this country and Germany".[4] In that office in 1859 he also tutored The Prince of Wales in Roman history.[5]
Schmitz moved back to England in 1866, serving as Principal of London International College from 1866 to 1874, and Classical Examiner at the University of London from 1874 to 1884. He was granted a civil list pension of £50 in 1881, doubled in 1886.[1]
He married an English woman, Eliza Mary Machell, and moved to England in 1837;[1] around 1840 they had a daughter, Leonora Schmitz, who would become a noted music critic.[6]
