Great Republic Lofts Grand Opening
Great Republic Lofts held their grand opening sales event this weekend. The building is on Spring Street bordering 8th Street and Main Street. The building will have 72 for sale lofts ranging in size from 649-981 square feet. 20 lofts were released for sale this weekend with an average price of $484 per square foot, which is reasonable. 72 parking spaces will be available in the parking lot next door for residents. The developer owns the parking lot. Each loft had quite a bit of light and all units had exposed brick. From the 5th floor models that were available to see all had views of downtown, either facing east or west. The finishes were well done, bathrooms have glass tile on the tub surround. Kitchens also had a mosaic glass tile back splash. Each unit will come with appliances with the exception of the washer/dryer.
The sales staff were beyond welcoming and were very patient with countless questions from potential residents. There will be retail on the ground floor and they are trying to secure a French cafe to open.

NCT Lofts All Lit Up....Well, Almost...
The NCT Lofts building is showing some light. The bottom lights shining up on the building have just been turned on in this adaptive reuse project.

According to the Downtown News development issue, the building should welcome its new tenants in two months. The building will have 93 apartments ranging from 650-1700 sq. ft.

Revision as of 15:59, February 16, 2008
On the Sunday of the Fathers of the Seventh Ecumenical Council, the Church remembers the 350 holy Fathers of the Seventh Ecumenical Council, Nicea II, under the holy Patriarch Tarasius.
Lights on the earth
The Holy Fathers of the Ecumenical Councils are honored by the Church because, based upon the preaching of the Apostles, they have established one faith for the Church. Guided by the grace of the Holy Spirit, and accepted by the Church, the Ecumenical Councils are the highest authority in the Church, infallible.
This feast is commemorated on October 11, if it is a Sunday. If October 11 is not a Sunday, the Slavic tradition uses the preceding Sunday when the eleventh falls before Thursday, and the next Sunday otherwise, the Greek practice will use the Sunday which follows October 11.
- Most glorious are You, O Christ our God!
- You have established the Holy Fathers as lights on the earth!
- Through them you have guided us to the true faith!
- O greatly Compassionate One, glory to You!
Kontakion (Tone 6)
- The Son who shone forth from the Father
- Was ineffably born, two-fold in nature, of a woman.
- Having beheld Him, we do not deny the image of His form,
- But depict it piously and revere it faithfully.
- Thus, keeping the True Faith,
- The Church venerates the icon of Christ Incarnate.

Coming To A Theater Near You
Remember yesterday when I was moderately funny? Yes? Okay. Good. That's going to have to hold you for the day. Funny has left the stage and been replaced by Big Ball of Stress starring in the musical hit Oh Crap, How Can I Get All This Done. Featuring the acclaimed songs Fuck It All (Let's Run Away To Tahiti), Who Do I Have To Blow To Get More Hours In The Day, and Unrealistic Expectations, The New York Times called it a riotously wicked send-up of office politics and the efforts of one man to bend the space-time continuum. Newsweek hailed its star, Rude Cactus, as thoroughly convincing - I honestly thought he was ripping his hair out in large clumps while going slowly mad sniffing dry-erase markers. That's stage presence! and Bill O'Reilly added that pinko commie liberal was okay. What say you?Posted by Chris at November 29, 2005 07:03 AM
I say I must be your understudy because it all sounds eerily familiar. Are you sure it's a musical though? Because, man, nobody wants to hear me sing. Oh. Yeah. I guess it's a good thing you're the star then. Whew. Such a relief. Just don't get sick!Posted by: pea at November 29, 2005 07:42 AM
Hmm...this movie must be a sequel, b/c I think I've seen it quite often lately! There is definately NOT enough hours in the day to get the crap the bosses want done! EXAMPLE: "You need to close out all these insurance codes by December 1st!!" ME: "There is a 3" print out of just the Private pay clients! I honestly can't get this done alone." BOSS: "Oh, well, do what you can." WHAT THE F$@&!!!! It's a lose-lose battle. Enjoy the movie people! ;PPosted by: Michelle at November 29, 2005 08:13 AM
Oh Crap, How Can I Get All This Done.
I hear you. I am leaving for France in less than 2 weeks, and I haven't bought the first Christmas gift.
I have a ton of other stuff to do as well.

i saw that show, it was excellent-- alarmingly realistic though. the fact that it ran for over 8 hours was quite depressingPosted by: steph at November 29, 2005 09:14 AM
Hahaha! I Am always so glad to make this my frist stop in the morning! =)
As for the musical, I have been staring in the offbroadway production for years. Since it's off-broadway, we got to add another song to our production. My big solo in fact - it's called "Would someone please answer that fucking phone (I already have one on hold you lazy bastards!)
Sounds a lot like the show that my husband is in right now! He, likewise, is ripping clumps of hair out trying to meet deadlines and working late nights... You guys should co-star!!Posted by: Corinne at November 29, 2005 09:35 AM
That's a musical? I was sure it was a drama. I must be your nemesis. I plan on running away soon and not coming back for a month. YAYYY!Posted by: Queen of Ass at November 29, 2005 09:58 AM
I've got to get tickets to this musical, it's something I can't afford to miss!Posted by: E at November 29, 2005 10:07 AM
but look, still funny. mostly because it's so true that Bill O'Reilly would call you a pinko commie liberal.
good luck!Posted by: Heather B. at November 29, 2005 10:31 AM
Fuck it all is one of my favorite songs! Watch those dry erase markers...they'll get'cha.

Two thumbs way up!!!! I thought things usually slowed down in the office around the holidays...not this year. I don't have a single decoration up yet.Posted by: Krush at November 29, 2005 12:36 PM
Dry markers, oh yes. I have found myself, when doing the business standup thing in front of 40 or 50 people, unconsciously snapping the lid off markers and sniffing them whilst smiling weirdly.Posted by: zeno at November 29, 2005 12:46 PM
"Damn, I hate it when you're not funny," said Ms. Q as she wipes the tears from her eyes and once again cleans the coffee off of her monitor.Posted by: Ms. Q at November 29, 2005 12:48 PM
I need the lyrics to those songs, especially "Fuck it All (Let's Run Away to Tahiti)" - I think that may be my new anthem!Posted by: Kestrel at November 29, 2005 01:46 PM
Well, I thought that was funny. So I guess you'll be okay, as you seem able to keep your sense of the ridiculous intact.Posted by: Heather at November 29, 2005 02:05 PM
Rude Cactus receives a Tony nod for best actor in a musical-comedy, especially for his solo tap number to "Spilling the coffee mug on the tower o' crap".
Cheers, mate!Posted by: Dolly at November 29, 2005 03:10 PM
When you figure out who you have to blow to get more hours in the day, let me know and send him over. Geez! Hope you have some good chapstick.Posted by: Gweny at November 29, 2005 04:17 PM

Some people (are) killing in the name of religion. For economy reasons or political power, of course it's very sad but understandable. But killing in the name of faith, for different religious faith, (is) unthinkable. —Dalai Lama
NEW DELHI — The Dalai Lama praised Chinese President Xi Jinping on Saturday for being "more realistic" and principled than his predecessors, a day after Xi's three-day visit to India ended.
The Tibetan Buddhist spiritual leader has lived in exile for decades in India's Himalayan foothill city of Dharamsala, after fleeing China following a failed 1959 uprising. The arrangement has irritated Beijing, which has long accused the Dalai Lama of fomenting unrest and encouraging Buddhist monks to self-immolate in demanding more autonomy for Tibet, a Himalayan region in western China.
However, Beijing's attitude appears to be shifting, the Dalai Lama said, noting that China's Communist leaders, who officially are atheist, are now "mentioning the importance of spiritualism."
"There are a lot of changes," the Dalai Lama told reporters.
He said that since becoming president in March 2013, Xi has demonstrated "through his handling of problems, he is comparatively more realistic and with more principles" than his predecessors.
The remarks brought no immediate comment from China's government or state media. However, Beijing has previously denounced the Dalai Lama as a separatist traitor and warned that any of his moderate comments are deceptive. China insists the Himalayan region has been part of Chinese territory for centuries, while Tibetans say it was virtually independent until China occupied it in 1950.
India is home to a large Tibetan community as well as Tibet's government-in-exile. During Xi's visit to New Delhi this past week, dozens of Tibetan protesters shouting "Hands off Tibet!" staged a noisy demonstration outside the building where he was meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The Dalai Lama also said Saturday on the sidelines of an interfaith meeting in New Delhi that India and China should put aside any animosities they harbor over a long-festering border dispute and "remain peaceful on the basis of mutual trust," according to Press Trust of India.
The border dispute, over which the two nations fought a bloody monthlong war in 1962, has complicated relations for decades, with the two militaries in a tense standoff even last week while Xi was in New Delhi. Both Xi and Modi vowed special efforts in resolving the dispute as they work to boost economic cooperation.
The Dalai Lama also praised India for proving that communities can live peacefully together, and said India must show its example of religious harmony to the rest of the world.
"India is the only country where all major world religions live together, not only in modern time but over 1,000 years," he said in opening the two-day interfaith meeting he had organized for leaders from nine religious communities to mull some of India's most pressing and seemingly endemic problems — from gender violence and widespread poverty to environmental degradation and communal violence.
India has been soul-searching somewhat, since national elections stirred up questions about the nation's identity and ambitions for the future as it pushes for rapid economic growth and 21st century technologies even as three-fourths of its 1.2 billion population still live on less than $1.25 a day.
The landslide victory by Modi and his Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party left some worried that his association with Hindu hardliners could encourage violence between Muslims and Hindus, who make up 80 percent of the country's population.
The Dalai Lama said religious violence had no justification.
"Some people (are) killing in the name of religion," he said. "For economy reasons or political power, of course it's very sad but understandable. But killing in the name of faith, for different religious faith, (is) unthinkable."

Wearing casual has a lit of benefits like you choosing your own clothes, wearing other clothes everyday not like the old fashioned school uniform that people do not like to wear because some people say that it is uncomfortable, too tight, too big, too small, too skinny and more reasons to chew on the bone which might lead to a slow boat in China if I type all of the reasons. I also choose casual because for me, it is the people's choice that will think what we will wear. God also gave us our free will to learn from right to wrong.
We should wear uniforms some times and casual some times for example: would you show up to a business interview in a tee-shirt and jeans with and old hoodie, or a nice uniform? Duh. Your answer should be uniform! If it wasn't your choise then that's just gross! And just so you know you would ALWAYS go to a job interview in a uniform/tux/very nice clothes!

Resilient Communities, Efficient Governments, a recent report from Hyland and GovLoop, presents techniques for preparing organizations for significant, disruptive events using tools that are designed to improve service delivery and cost-effectiveness every other day of the year. In this way, planning and preparation becomes less about disaster recovery and more about delivering better services to the community, no matter the conditions. The discussion then becomes about agility, speed of delivery, and collaboration. The report includes four fundamental tools for building community resiliency, ways to integrate these tools into a platform for maximized responsiveness, and a case study from Arlington County, Virginia.

Ads keep the MarioWiki independent and free :)
Mattermouths[1] are enemies that first appear in the game Super Mario Galaxy 2. They resemble the skulls of Dry Bones as well as Bone Dragons. Its name appears to be a pun on "motormouth".
Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]
They are found in places such as the Haunty Halls Galaxy and Bowser's Lava Lair and eat away part of the ground, which regenerates after a few seconds. If Mario falls into the holes in the ground created by the Mattermouths, he will lose a life. They can also eat away Dark Matter. Mario cannot destroy them, but he can stop them temporarily by stomping on their heads, which will turn them around and cause them to begin eating the ground in the opposite direction. If Mario is attacked by one of these enemies, he will lose one wedge of his Health Meter.
Mario Party: Island Tour[edit]
Mattermouths reappear in Mario Party: Island Tour in the minigame Tragic Carpet Ride. Here they eat up the carpet that the players are standing on while the players try not to fall.

For folks who enjoy birding on Roosevelt Island in DC - be aware, the Chairman of the House Resources Committee, Rep. Pombo, is circulating a draft of a 285 page Bill that among other things, proposes selling off National Parks that recieve fewer than 10,000 visitors per year. In the bill they suggest selling off DC's Roosevelt Island's 91 acres to developers. Say goodbye to the nesting Ospreys wintering Bald Eagles if this goes through.
See this link for more on the story from the San Francisco Chronicle.
- Denise Ryan
More Info:
Draft House Resources Committee legislation would put 15 national parks up for sale, allow offshore oil and gas drilling in now-restricted waters and open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to petroleum exploration, according to a copy of the measure obtained by E&E Daily.
The draft proposes removing the 91-acre Theodore Roosevelt Island from the park system and selling it to commercial or residential developers, as well as requiring land be made available for a vehicle bridge to the George Washington Memorial Parkway. The island is in the Potomac River between Washington, D.C., and Arlington, Va.
The draft proposes selling 15 parks "for energy or commercial development" if they receive fewer than 10,000 visitors a year. They are:

A love match alters the course of the Habsburg dynasty in Pataki's second novel (The Traitor's Wife, 2014).
In 1853, Elisabeth, known as "Sisi," daughter of a Bavarian duke, accompanies her mother and older sister, Helene, to Vienna. The sisters' redoubtable aunt, Archduchess Sophie, has arranged Helene's betrothal to her son, Emperor Franz Joseph, who reigns over Austria, Germany, Hungary and most of central Europe. To Sophie's alarm, Franz prefers the pretty, vivacious and athletic 15-year old Sisi to the shy, homely and studious Helene. After a gift-strewn engagement and lavish royal wedding, Sisi adjusts to the realities of wedded bliss among the monarchy: She has no privacy—every intimate detail's observed and remarked upon by court spies—and a mother-in-law who's not about to brook any rivals for her son's affection. When Sisi gives birth to two daughters, Sophie and Gisela, the archduchess complains of the lack of a male heir but happily appropriates the princesses, barring Sisi from any involvement in their upbringing. (The same will happen with Sisi's ill-fated son, Prince Rudolf). Franz is preoccupied with affairs of state, dealing with rebellious upstarts like Hungary, Italy and Prussia, vassal nations eager to throw off the Habsburg yoke. Sisi is instrumental in healing the rift with Hungary, in part because this wildly popular empress has a special affection for the Hungarian people and landscape. On her first visit, she's captivated by the former rebel leader, dark, handsome Count Andrássy. However, young Sophie succumbs to a fever while in Budapest, feeding the archduchess's propaganda campaign against Sisi's maternal suitability. On her return to stultifying court life, Sisi is felled by depression but finally musters the will to stage a rebellion of her own. The plot doesn't stray far from the conventions of novels about royalty, exposing all the unsurprising human disappointments lurking behind the gilded façade.
Still, Pataki deserves kudos for choosing her subject matter well—Sisi's life is ideal fictional fodder.

Chemtrail Flu – Disability Known as "Aerotoxic Syndrome"
Report from a very health-conscious friend on a US domestic flight last week: "On the way home many passengers were coughing and snotting and I quickly 'caught it.' I had TERRIBLE chills, fever and stomach pain, plus very scary shooting pains in my neck, head. I could hardly get out of bed for several days."
Chemtrail Toxins and Aerotoxic Syndrome Can Disable or Kill Pilots, Crew and Frequent Flyers
The graphic in the video was intended to show how toxic fumes from engine oil leaks could be pumped inside the aircraft with the result of poisoning the passengers and crew in a recognized phenomena called aerotoxic syndrome. Source
While Aerotoxic syndrome from an engine oil leak is a relatively rare occurrence it must be considered that Aluminum aerosols are sprayed from jet aircraft to saturate the skies at almost every hour of the day. Even when aerosols are not deployed by the affected crew, it's the ambient nano-aluminum and barium heavy metals sprayed by many other aircraft that create the concentrated toxic air at flight level altitudes.
And we know the highest concentrations of aluminum toxins begin at altitudes to which thousands of passenger, cargo and civilian aircraft are cleared to cruise, ascend and descend at every hour of every day.

Chemtrail Toxins and Aerotoxic Syndrome Can Disable or Kill Pilots, Crew and Frequent Flyers
Dead BA pilots 'victims of toxic cabin fumes'
TWO of British Airways' most talented pilots have died after complaining of years of exposure to toxic oil fumes on board passenger planes.
Published: Sun, January 27, 2013
Official records from the Civil Aviation Authority show that oxygen masks are being donned by pilots and crew at the rate of at least five times a week to combat suspected "fume events".
(Comment: Necessary use of oxygen mask 5 times per week sounds too frequent to be mechanical failure producing an oil leak. Observers frequently say they can "smell" chemtrails when deployed at low altitudes. When pilots are using oxygen masks in response to an "odor", it must be considered that the source of the odor and associated toxins may be a result of ambient alumina and barium concentrated in a layer of atmosphere at flight level.)
Lawyers for Mr Westgate now want to "give him the trial he never got" by suing the airline in a case they say will be a "moment of truth" for the aviation industry. They say they are on the cusp of proving in a court of law the existence of "aerotoxic syndrome", a chronic physical and neurological condition they predict will one day be seen as "the new asbestos".
Thousands of pilots are currently "unfit to fly", one specialist doctor believes. Official records from the Civil Aviation Authority show that oxygen masks are being donned by pilots and crew at the rate of at least five times a week to combat suspected "fume events". In some cases, crew members have passed out yet in almost all incidents, passengers are unaware.The air enters the cabin unfiltered via a bleed pipe off the jet engine where any oil leak at high temperature can cause the release of a dangerous mix of compounds, including potentially toxic organophosphates. Those most at risk are pilots, cabin crew, other very frequent flyers and people who are genetically susceptible to the toxins.A suspected three per cent of people are most vulnerable due to a genetic make up that renders their bodies less resistant.
Many pilots complain of headaches and other symptoms but they are often ignored or misdiagnosed.
Ms Lysakowska, who was one of the most talented pilots of her generation, having been given a special award as a cadet 20 years ago, had pleaded with her bosses at BA to address the issue after being grounded with ill health in 2005.
Writing to them in 2006, she warned: "My objective is to get well and carry on flying and not enter a protracted legal battle because of the impact exposure to contaminated air has had on my life but if I have to I will."
However, she later developed cancer and the legal battle never took place.
Meanwhile, Mr Westgate, who was not married and had no children, also fell into the high risk category, his specialist aviation medic Dr Michel Mulder believes.
He died on December 12 in Amsterdam where he was being treated.
He had been there since last April after diverting to the Dutch city while en route to Swiss suicide clinic Dignitas, having given up all hope of finding a cure for his illness.
"All he wanted to do was fly," Dr Mulder said.
However, it was a passion that slowly killed him.
Driven and ambitious, he was also a world record-breaking paraglider, a sport in which his talent was recognised only last August when he was given an award by ex-Royal Navy pilot Prince Andrew.
Richard had become a commercial pilot in 1998, flying with smaller airlines before joining BA in 2007, but he voluntarily grounded himself in 2011 after suffering whiplash in a car crash.
However, Dr Mulder said by that time he had already become concerned about his health and memory, suffering persistent headaches, chronic fatigue, loss of confidence and mood swings.
Like many pilots, according to Dr Mulder, who himself flew for KLM and who suffered similar symptoms, Richard failed to tell his employer for fear of losing his job.
And also like many others, he sought private medical advice to avoid any blemishes on his health record.
Dr Mulder said: "He was a very talented athlete but he had lost his sharpness. It had gone. He said to me, 'I'm dying'. It was very sad.
"He had been losing the ability to multitask, which is obviously important when you're flying a plane.
"He was misdiagnosed with depression. So many pilots are misdiagnosed because there is so little awareness of aerotoxic syndrome.
"Some of the symptoms are like the early onset of Parkinson's Disease or MS.
"There needs to be an understanding of this but it's wilfully not recognised. The airline industry knows how huge the implications would be."
He said Richard was beginning to make progress in his care but he then suffered a fall in which a head injury caused his neurological problems to deteriorate.
He died last month and was buried in the Dorset village of Shillingstone on January 18.
His family are now awaiting the results of two autopsies in Holland.
However, before he died he had instructed his lawyer, Frank Cannon, who was also a pilot, to sue BA for alleged breach of health and safety guidelines.
Mr Cannon said BA is liable under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health regulations because it fails to monitor the quality of air on board planes.
Despite calls from many pilots and the Aerotoxic Association, BA and all other airlines do not install air quality detection systems.
Instead, they rely on the results of disputed Government commissioned studies, the most recent of which by Cranfield University, Buckinghamshire, concluded in 2011 that cabin air was safe.
Mr Cannon is now trying to force a groundbreaking British inquest into Richard's death in which BA would be asked questions about aerotoxic syndrome.
Mr Cannon said: "I see this as an impending tsunami for the airline industry—it's been hushed for and ignored for so long.
"We hope to use the inquest to give Richard the trial he never got. It would be the first judicial recognition of his condition."
A spokesman for BA said: "Our thoughts are with the families of the two pilots at this very sad time and we offer our sincere condolences.
"We are not aware of any legal claims relating to the two individuals.
"It would be inappropriate for us to comment or speculate upon the individuals' cause of death."
Doctor 'finds sheep-dip link' to cabin air issue
THE effects of toxic fumes on pilots are similar to the symptoms suffered by farmers working with sheep dips over many years.
The link is the dangerous organophosphates that are contained in dip chemicals and the oils used to lubricate jet engines.
The Sunday Express has spoken to the medic who discovered the link in the late Nineties.
Hertfordshire based Dr Peter Julu is Europe's only autonomic neurophysiologist and he believes it is the lack of experts in his field which is preventing full recognition of the condition by the medical profession at large.
Dr Julu found the link after treating a Lufthansa pilot who had been referred to him by a neurologist.
He said the airline believed the pilot was "faking" the symptoms as a way of suing for compensation.
The German pilot used his contacts in the UK airline fraternity, then several others asked to see Dr Julu with similar symptoms.
Airlines tried to argue that carbon monoxide poisoning was causing the symptoms but Dr Julu, who also had experience of those problems, disagreed.
He said: "It was very strange. At that time, I was also doing some work on sheep dips for the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries.
"To my amazement, the kind of symptoms and findings I was getting from farmers was very similar to the pilots, yet occupationally they couldn't be more diverse.
"We suspected the famers were suffering from organophosphatepoisoning and then an aeronautic engineer wrote to me to say there were also organophosphates in the oil systems."
He said the chemicals attack the autonomic nervous system, which controls the body's major organs including the brain and heart.
In particular, he said it targeted the brain stem, which he describes as the "headquarters of the autonomic nervous system".
He said: "It attacks that part of the nervous system which deals with emotion and short term memory.
"It tends to be fairly specific. It affects a specific group of neurotransmitters that includes serotonin, which explains the appearance of depression in some cases.
He was a very talented athlete but he had lost his sharpness — Dr Mulder
"An imbalance means you could develop tremors and lots of problems with the regulation of blood pressure."This is very similar to what happens with organophosphates. "Asked why the condition wasn't recognised, he said: "It's mainly because the part of the nervous system it affects lacks experts."Neurophysiology is the study of nerve function. While there are many neurophysiologists—every hospital will have one—when it comes to autonomic neurophysiology, I'm the only one in Europe."He has now treated a large number of senior pilots, including BA's Karen Lysakowska, who was buried last week.
He said: "She was exactly the same as the other pilots who I had seen."

Welcome to Metacolor
Summertime Pool Loungin' , 1961
Summer is in full swing and the pool is the ideal place to have a drink and beat the heat. Until last year, I've spent most of my life living in the stygian pit that is southeastern Georgia. Georgia is a great place to live but the summers are brutal and every summer seems hotter than the last, so having a pool (or a friend who has one) is a must.
Before trading in my summers for harsh winters up in Bangor Maine where I currently reside I lived only a few short blocks from the beach. The summer heat and humidity was so hot in 2012 and 2013 that I rarely even went to the beach because of the extreme temperatures. Of course there were a few times in the winter when I was shoveling through two feet of snow that I wished to be back in Georgia, but I must say, its great being able to enjoy the Maine outdoors in the summer rather than hiding in the AC or pouring sweat.
This colorization is from an article in a living healthy magazine about the current pool styles and the looks of summer in 1961. I chose this photo to colorize because of the large amount of shallow water in the photo.Colorizing water can be fun but challenging. For this colorization I used a combination of two blues, a green and also a subtle yellow in the white areas to give it a sunlit look.
Below is my full size colorization as well as the original black and white photo. Feel free to share this colorization on your social network of choice or leave any comments or questions in the comment section below.

100 Happy Days – Day 30
Took my dog Rose to the local park today and tried her out on the playground. She went through the tunnel and went down the slide twice.
Applied for a couple of jobs. Still nervous about that. Wish there was a way I could just stay home. But with no insurance, I can't even do that. Sigh… I really don't even want to think about it. When I think about it other than my 1-2 hours each morning of job hunting, I can feel my heart rate increasing and I get all nervous.
But, it's the weekend and hopefully I have a nice relaxing weekend.

Health and Safety
At Gisborne District Council we take health and safety seriously.
We're constantly looking at ways to improve our performance in this area. We're developing best practice standards to guide our organisation as it embraces the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015(external link) (HSWA).
Contractor pre-qualification scheme
We've teamed up with other councils and SHE Software NZ Ltd to develop a new pre-qualification process.
This will ensure councils are using contractors who operate with effective health and safety management systems and hold current and relevant insurances.
This system will help us meet our responsibilities to ensure that contractors working for, or on Council assets and/or supplying services, have effective health and safety management systems. This is in an effort to prevent harm to people and the environment or damage to property.
Benefits to contractors include:
- an easier system that will enable contractors to be pre-qualified for multiple councils through one process
- improved relationships between contractors and councils
- contributing to the WorkSafe New Zealand's statement of intent strategy to reduce injuries by 2020
This process requires contractors and sub-contractors who carry out services for councils, to apply to become pre-qualified every 2 years, with insurance renewals done annually. If these expire in the system, councils may not allow you to carry out work for them until renewals are received.
The application is simple to follow, with recognition for those who have health and safety accreditation.
The fees, paid online are:
|Number of Employees
|Fee (excl GST)
|Less than 5
|Between 5 and 24
|25 and more
Insurance renewals $25 per insurance type per year.
As contractors become pre-qualified, company details are available on an Approved Contractor List(external link)
This provides visibility to contractors and councils to identify who's approved, assisting with the tendering process and council procurement. For more information please read our FAQs [PDF, 619 KB]
You need an email address prior to starting your application as this will be required to complete the process.
To easily upload evidence, we suggest you set up a folder on your desktop to save documents required for your application.
Here's the link to start your application.(external link)
This process is being handled by the Waikato Local Authority Shared Services, along with the Bay of Plenty Local Authority Shared Services using an internationally recognised portal.

How many people suffer adverse health consequences from misuse of prescription drugs?
The Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN) monitored emergency department (ED) visits in selected areas across the Nation through 2011. DAWN reported that more than 1.2 million ED visits in 2011 could be attributed to nonmedical use of prescription drugs; this represents about half (50.5 percent) of all ED visits related to drug misuse. Roughly 488,000, or 39.2 percent, of these ED visits involved prescription opioid pain relievers, a rate nearly triple that of 6 years prior. ED visits also more than quadrupled for central nervous system (CNS) stimulants to nearly 41,000 visits in 2011 and increased 138 percent for CNS depressants to 422,000 visits. Of the latter, 85 percent involved benzodiazepines (e.g., Xanax®). ED visits related to use of zolpidem (Ambien®), a popular prescribed non-benzodiazepine sleep aid, rose from roughly 13,000 in 2004 to 30,000 in 2011. More than half of ED visits for nonmedical use of prescription drugs involved multiple drugs.4 Analysis of hospital inpatient data also revealed a 72 percent increase in hospitalizations related to opioid use over the decade from 2002 to 2012, including increases in serious infection associated with intravenous drug administration. Inpatient costs for these hospitalizations quadrupled over the same time period.23

- Recycling Programs
Using electronic products is as much a part of our daily activities as driving a car or using a microwave oven. But, unlike cars or ovens, these products quickly become out of date. The problem is that electronic wastes (e-waste), such as televisions, computers and computer monitors, contain toxic substances, including lead, mercury, cadmium, lithium, brominated flame retardants, phosphorous coatings, and PVC plastics that create dioxins when burned. Although these devices are safe to use, when thrown away they can release these toxics, posing a threat to human health and the environment. The best solution is to be sure e-waste is recycled.
Some electronic wastes are regulated as hazardous waste when generated by businesses, including electronics that contain cathode ray tubes, mercury lamps, and circuit boards. Universal Waste Management Companies can ensure your electronics are handled and recycled in accordance with all regulatory requirements. Maine residents, elementary and secondary schools, and businesses with 100 or fewer employees can recycle some of their e-waste at little to no cost through Maine's product stewardship program. Check the "Help ME Recycle" quick link to find collection locations near you.
From January 2006 through December 2016, Maine residents recycled more than 90 million pounds of electronics with the help of electronics manufacturers!
For more information on recycling and disposal of electronic waste from businesses, contact the Hazardous Waste staff at (207) 287-7688.
For more information on recycling and disposal of electronic waste from households and schools, contact the E-Waste Program staff at (207) 287-7688.
Questions regarding Maine's e-waste law, please contact Carole Cifrino (207) 485-8160.
Product stewardship program for recycling e-waste
Under Maine's product stewardship program for e-waste manufacturers pay for the recycling of televisions, portable DVD players, game consoles, computer monitors, laptops, tablets e-readers, desktop printers and digital picture frames. Households, elementary and secondary schools, and small businesses and non-profits are responsible for bringing their e-waste to a collection site or event. Municipalities must ensure that their residents have a collection site or event that will take these "covered electronic devices" for recycling. Some collection sites charge a small fee to cover their costs of collection. All electronics collected in this system are recycled to reclaim all useable materials, with the processing meeting strict environmental standards.
Municipal collection sites for electronics and mercury-added products (PDF format) (Also available in MS Excel format) - This is a listing by town of municipal collection sites that accept Universal Waste. The blue blocks signify that they will take from anyone in the state not just for the residents in their town. Green means we were not able to reach anyone in that municipal office, and therefore do not have any information for that town. Please contact your local facility to check for up-to-date information on hours and items accepted.

"DO NOT SELL" Instructions for Retailers of Electronics
A retailer may not sell televisions, portable DVD players, game consoles, computer monitors, portable notebook computers, tablet computers, e-readers, or digital picture frames (collectively referred to as "covered electronic devices") in or into Maine unless the manufacturer is in compliance with Maine's Electronic Waste (E-waste) law (38 M.R.S. §1610) and the product brand is registered with the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).
Prior to purchasing any covered electronic devices from a manufacturer, wholesaler or distributor, retailers should take the following steps to ascertain that the product may be legally sold in Maine.
Step 1. Is the manufacturer in compliance with Maine's E-waste law? Here is a list of manufacturers that are out of compliance with Maine's E-Waste Law, and the brand names under which they have marketed "covered electronic devices". These manufacturers have been notified that they are IN VIOLATION of Maine's E-waste law, and that covered electronic devices from these manufacturers cannot be legally sold in or into Maine.
Step 2. Is the brand registered? Before purchasing any covered electronic devices, check the listing of registered brands. Retailers cannot legally sell in Maine a covered electronic device of a brand that is not registered by its manufacturer with the Maine DEP. If a manufacturer wants a retailer to purchase their covered electronic devices to sell in or into Maine, then the manufacturer must register their products and brands with Maine DEP.

ISLAMABAD – Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf has said that there is a national consensus in Pakistan on building strong relationship with the Russian Federation and government attaches great importance to its relations with Russia.
The prime minister made these remarks while welcoming a delegation of the Council of Federation of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation led by Ms Valentina Matvienko, Chairperson of the Council at Prime Minister House on Thursday. Russian Ambassador in Pakistan Andrey Bundnik also accompanied the chairperson.
Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf said Russia was a source of peace and stability at both regional and global level and its growing power was a positive development for a multi-polar world of the present day.
The prime minister further said that there had been a visible expansion in the bilateral relations as well as economic cooperation between the two countries and Pakistan greatly valued Russia's interest to invest in the energy sector of Pakistan. He added that there was a vast potential for increasing the bilateral trade further.
"There is a national consensus in Pakistan on building strong relationship with the Russian Federation and we attach great importance to our relations with Russia. Both the countries have initiated a process of building a broad-based long-term partnership. We greatly value the support and assistance of Russian Federation in the war against terrorism," said the prime minister.
Ms Valentina Matvienko thanked the prime minister for meeting the delegation and said that Pakistan was an important partner of Russia and played a significant role in international relations.
She added that the exchange of visits of the parliamentary delegations of both the countries would help in further strengthening the bilateral relations. She said that some 2,000 Pakistani students had graduated from Russian universities and Russia would welcome more students from Pakistan.
The prime minister said that the parliaments of both the countries could certainly play an important role in enhancing the relationship further between the two countries. He added that Pakistan was an ideal country for foreign investors and Russian investors must be encouraged to invest in Pakistan.
The prime minister thanked the Russian Federation for signing a Memorandum of Understanding (Mou) for expansion and modernisation of Pakistan Steel Mills and expressed the hope that the work would be completed on time.
The chairperson of the council conveyed the best wishes of Russian President Putin to the prime minister.
The delegation included Mr Ilyas Umakhanov, Deputy Chairman of the Council, Mr Valery Ryazanskly, Chairman of the Committee on Social Policy of the Council of the Federation, Mr Vadim Tyalpanov, Chairman of the Committee on Regulations and Management of Parliamentary Activity, Ms Natalya Udalova, Head of the Sectt of the Chairperson, Mr Mlkkhail Kalinin, Head of the Department of International Relation, Mr Alexander Chlkin and Mr Konovalov.

Apple Pushing Out New Low Power Bluetooth 4.0
Apple is bringing aboard the new Bluetooth 4.0 standard. This is intended for the iPhone, iPad and iPod accessory developers using which they will be able to transmit data between Apple's mobile devices.
Bluetooth 4.0 needs only low-power and its low-latency capabilities might help developers to stream audio to mobile speakers through AirPlay without the support of a WiFi in the vicinity. This is much-needed software, because even though there are a number of iOS devices in the market, very few of them support AirPlay.
The latest Bluetooth standard allows for faster pairing and in the case of portable, battery powered speakers, the low latency and low power operation works well with AirPlay. Apple is expected to pack it with a revised Apple TV, in order to enhance the video streaming and enabling an iOS device to work as a game controller.
The Cupertino-based company is now in the process of making an advanced version of the chip integrated in iOS-device compatible products. This is expected to allow accessories to connect through Bluetooth 4.0.
During a conference in Shenzhen,China, the company outlined its plans to the members of Apple's MFi Program. MFi, what Apple says, is short for "Made for iPhone", "Made for iPad" or "Made for iPod".
This label is specifically designed for officially licensed iOS device accessory makers. The recently delivered MacBook Air and Mac mini updates were equipped with the Bluetooth 4.0 software.
Even the iPhone 4S was released with support to the software, and it looks like upcoming Apple products will be having Bluetooth 4.0 support as well.

In this lecture we elaborate on the verificationist point
of view that logical connectives are defined by their introduction
rules. We show that for intuitionistic logic as presented so
far the elimination rules are in harmony with the introduction
rules in the sense that they are neither too strong nor too weak.
We demonstrate this via local reductions and expansions, respectively.
In the second part of the lecture we make more precise what a
verification is and state, without proof, the global counterparts
of the local soundness and completeness properties used to justify
the elimination rules.

Emma Perry is a walking stereotype, she ***** ed my husband and half of the married dads in the neighborhood either through watching their kids or hired to do odd jobs like dog watching or cleaning etc. This little tramp has been making her rounds for a long time and she's only 18.
My husband would drive her home after her babysitting and would be gone for an hour when it only should have taken him 10 minutes. I should have known better. One mom said Emma left her laptop at her house and one folder was filled with porn and pictures of her in little or nothing, stripping etc. There were videos of her blowing one guy who she thought was one of the neighborhood dads, who knows! I swear she used my hidden sex toys.
My pig ex husband set up nanny cams all over the house of which I found the memory cards recently. Half of them are her walking around in little to nothing after the kids were asleep and even masturbating. She knew they were cams there since she looked right at them.
She came onto me more than once and after speaking with the neighborhood ladies she did to them too, who knows if she had sex with them. Same with half the neighborhood girls. I know one couple that are swingers so she probably did both of them since she seemed to be at their place a little to often and watched their kids for years.
Emma sure has made her way around semi affluent areas of Brookline where I live, everyone knows her either by name or sight.
She'd wear the smallest swimsuits possible while in our or the neighbors pool, now I see she just wasn't being young she was loving the attention of the dads and wives. Emma is now consistently ***** ing my now separated husband and says he's her 'boyfriend, he's almost 50! Gross! I'm positive he was ***** ing her off and on since she was 14.
I hear she's living there part time, wears my younger teen daughters clothes etc. All of my husbands friends are envious from what I hear, has her dress like a ***** in micro miniskirts so he can 'be the man' and show off in front of them. Needless to say we're divorcing, he'll rarely see his kids and he'll be paying out big-time!!

Making Conditional BreakpointWhen you make a breakpoint conditional, the debugger pauses when a certain condition is met.
When breakpoint is first set, the debugger pauses the program execution each time the breakpoint is encountered. However, using the Edit Breakpoints dialog, you can customize breakpoints so that they are activated only in certain conditions.
The Conditions tab in the Breakpoint dialog is where you enter an expression that is evaluated each time the debugger encounters the breakpoint while executing the program. If the expression evaluates to
true, then the breakpoint pauses the program. If the
condition evaluates to
, then the debugger does not stop at that breakpoint location.
To set a breakpoint condition:
- Set a breakpoint on a line of code by clicking to the left of the line in the Code Editor.
- Open the Breakpoints window by choosing V iew | Debug Windows | Breakpoints.
- In the Breakpoints window, right-click the breakpoint you just set and choose Edit Breakpoint.
- In the Edit Breakpoints dialog, click Conditions .
- Enter an expression in the Condition field, for example:
- field = 20
- field > 10
- field != 30
- Click OK.
Developer 4.0.13 breakpoint example:put your mouse cursor over breakpoint and Box will appear
Enter some conditional breakpont value example:
name_of_field > 31000
if is in a cursor lets say ;
for c1 in (select * from table)
you would need to enter c1.name_of_field = value_to_break
and just run debugger
When condition is met popup will be shown

Beautiful Blue Bedroom Retreat
We've seen our fair share of bedrooms this month, all of which have been fantastic retreats from the world, but when we came across Kayleigh's beautiful blue bedroom in the UK — it had us searching our pattern books for more toile.
Kayleigh shares her space with her fiancé and it's as relaxing as it is airy. Along with looking great, there's quite a bit of history in their space, here's the low down on the pieces about the space:
• The Bed: It dates back to the 50's and anchors things with its dark tones.
• Bedside Lamp: Was brought back by her mom and step-father from their honeymoon, it's been every bedroom since the age of 5. Plus Kayleigh handmade the shade that adorns it.
• Vanity Case: You can see it on the dresser and originally belonged to her Grandmother.
• Chair: Sitting next to the fireplace, this chair was passed down and originally came from a hotel in the '70's.
• Chest: The chest under the window is an antique and makes for great blanket storage and a perfect place to put on your shoes!
Is your bedroom filled with history? Let us know in the comments below!

I have a question about the recipe "Okonomiyaki" from Midge. Can you roast this on a half sheet in the oven, using entire recipe then cut into squares to serve as appetizers?
Trena is a trusted source on general cooking.
Martha - I've made this recipe dozens of times and it's delicious. I'm not sure it would work the way you've described. I have no experience cooking it the way you've described, perhaps someone else does. You might give it a try. If you do, please report back.
Lucky enough to have lived in Tokyo. The question is would you roast a pancake? Okonomiyaki is a savory pancake. Okonomi means 'what you like' or 'what you want', and yaki meaning 'grilled' or 'cooked'. The little restaurants I ate Okonomiyaki in had tables with hot grills, and you mixed and added what you wanted and cooked them. Midge's recipe is the closest thing to Okonomiyaki I have tasted since leaving Tokyo. If you roast it, it will be a different item all together.
The real question is how will you cook the other side? Ask SKK says, okonomiyaki is a savory pancake. A big part of the delight of this dish is the crispy texture in contrast to the tender and succulent interior.
If you roast in the oven, be careful as it may start drying out very quickly.
It would be helpful to future readers if you report back on how you addressed the top side. Will you flip onto another sheet pan? Broil lightly?
Good luck!
Lisanne is a trusted home cook.
If you wanted to create a variant inspired by Okonomiyaki, I think you'd have to play around with it. It might work with or without the addition of a bit of baking powder (or soda??). or maybe separated eggs with the whites beaten. It won't be Okonomiyaki, as others said, it will be a different thing, but it would be yours. Maybe saute the cabbage first and drain very well. I would bake at 350. You want to decide how much ratio of egg based batter to solids you want. Maybe halve the basic recipe when you experiment (to halve 5 eggs, use 3 eggs or else 2 eggs then beat the 3rd egg in a small separate bowl and measure out by eyeballing about 1/2). Why not give it a try??

Rangel Tells Supporters: "Many Believe After 40 Years in Congress Some of Us Have an Attitude of Arrogance" (Video)
Here's the understatement of the day…
Indicted democrat Charles Rangel told a group of supporters yesterday, "Many believe after 40 years in Congress some of us have an attitude of arrogance."
Yes. He really said that.
This dirty democrat believes he is entitled to his seat in government.

Oh, Brother!
Last night I caught ten minutes of this summer's version of needles poking me repeatedly in the eyes . . . er, Big Brother.
Riddle me this, Batman: Who are these people who audition to be on such a crappy show where pretty much everyone ends up reviled and ridiculed and only one person gets money?
On the Amazing Race, even the losers get to travel to "amazing" places. And, at least on Survivor and The Apprentice some of the castaways/apprenti end up with other opportunities in entertainment or business. It doesn't seem to be the case with Big Brother.
While there are some parallels between Big Brother and The Real World in terms of revulsion and ridicule faced by the "roommates," they are at least uniformly young, inexperienced, and stupid (and relatively younger and less experienced -- though certainly no stupider -- than the Big Brother "housemates"). Even so, there are a couple of interesting differences. It seems MTV plies the roommates with great cities to live in, great digs, and enough free alcohol to fell a herd of elephants. On the other hand, BB housemates are isolated in a weirdly sterile production studio of a home and given peanut butter and jelly to eat. Furthermore, plenty of the roommates parlay the RW experience, appropriately enough, into speaking gigs to other young, inexperienced, and stupid people, mostly on college campuses across the country. I'm unaware of a similar phenomenon with the BB housemates. Finally, a small, but significant, number of the RW roommates have developed a cottage industry of repeatedly appearing in the Real World/Road Rules Challenges that MTV produces with freakish regularity. The housemates from BB get dumped out on a studio lot once they're evicted and CBS seldom looks back at them.
As I said, I've never applied to be a cast member on any reality show,* so perhaps it's just my own lack of imagination and initiative that leaves me wondering at the motivation of reality show wannabes.
So, help me out. If you've ever sent in an audition for a reality show or gone to an open casting call for one, why? Really, I want to know (especially if that show was Big Brother).
*I was a junior in college -- you know, young, inexperienced, and stupid -- when I discovered Real World Los Angeles. I so almost applied for the next season. I'm really glad I didn't. The next season was in San Francisco. I couldn't imagine having been Puck's roommate.

The Saskatoon Public Library is forgiving all outstanding late fines hoping to win back its members and transition to a new system in what the library president is calling the 'awkward campaign.'
"It's awkward because people owe us fines and they stopped using us because they can't afford to pay," said library president and CEO Carol Cooley. "Our staff have had interactions with patrons where they say they can't afford to pay their fines down below $10 therefore they can't borrow any materials."
The balance of these outstanding fines tops $1 million. While Cooley said they do depend on fines for revenue, many date back to 2000, so she said it's unlikely they will see them paid.
"This is money we were never going to collect, these are people who use the library, incur fines and can't pay so then they stop using us," she said. "It's only a source of revenue if we can collect on it. So if we can't collect something from people who cannot pay, then it's not a revenue at all."
On the other side of the coin, the library needs to clear the fines to switch to a new library system known as Polaris. Cooley said members shouldn't expect to see another fine-forgiveness in the future.
"I don't think this is setting any precedent — the reason we need to do this is because we've migrated to a new library system and we need to clear up the records and we can't clean out the records unless we waive those fines," she said.
Current library late fees are set at 30 cents per day for adult books and 20 cents a day for young adults. Those fees shoot up to one dollar a day for DVDs, so one person can take out seven DVDs and after the week-long loan expires fines can quickly add up.
"These fines are set on a provincial level and it's something that needs to be reviewed, that's a hefty fine for keeping a DVD," Cooley said.
While waiving late fees, the Saskatoon Public Library also hopes to clear out any charges to children's library cards, which in some cases are actually being used and abused by their parents.
"What we've found in the past is that adults were using their children's library cards, racking up all kinds of overdue fines, not paying them and when kids come to get a teen card or an adult card they have all these outstanding fines on these cards," Cooley said.
For the most part, many books and DVDs have been returned to the library, the fines just haven't been paid.

Have you tried to rack your brain to come up with kid snacks that are not only healthy but also inviting to you child well join the club. All the people in power at the moment seem to talk about is healthy eating but honestly with all the bright coloured packaging on the most popular foods is hard to compete with. Plus not to mention the high cost of fruit and vegetables at the moment you do wonder how you can afford to feed your child healthy foods and still pay the mortgage.
We have come up with a few alternatives that we have found worked in our house. Zip lock bags are a great invention for you to make your own snack bags at half the cost of a bag of chips, muesli bars or muffin bars. You can use plain store brand labelled food and split them into the zip lock bags such as a mixture of dried fruits with unsalted nuts, pretzels etc. We put in cut up fruit for school you can use a melon baller to cut up the fruit to make it a bit more interesting and believe me other children will ask them what it is and it does start a trend at recess time.
Healthy eating all begins at home and the younger you can get your child started the less battle it will be once the start school. While they are young try fresh fruit skewers and use biscuit cutters and make healthy sandwiches and then cut them into fun shapes. Use foods with lots of colours as this will make your child interested in the healthy food you have prepared for them and less interested in the junk food ad they just saw on the TV.
Lets face it its not going to be easy to keep you child interested in healthy food. They see so much advertising for chips, chocolate and take away on the TV but if you can make healthy eating as much fun as what they think a Happy Meal is you have half the battle won. From allot of cheap shops you can buy small novelty toys that you could also add to your Childs lunch which will make it like a happy meal except it will be your healthy meal. Give it a try you may come up with other interesting foods to use for your kid snacks .

I just had opportunity to read the manuscript for a book due out in May: Telling God's Story: Narrative Preaching for Christian Formation (InterVarsity Press). This is, hands-down, one of the best books I've read in months, and certainly the most exciting book I've ever read on preaching that actually thinks about the nature and task of the Church. (Imagine that: a book on homiletics that is actually tethered to ecclesiology and not just current trends in rhetoric or corporate sales strategies.) InterVarsity asked me to provide an endorsement for the book and I was glad to say the following:
The church should be worried about this book. It comes as an invitation to rethink the task of preaching, but three pages into it you'll realize that Wright is not giving us another "how-to" book for adding to the plethora of "messages" delivered every Sunday. No, this little book is packed with minor prophet-like punch, arguing that preaching is the practice by which the North American church has fallen, but also gives us a glimpse of how preaching could help her stand. Providing a brilliant historical and theological diagnosis of the problem with so-called "biblically based, need-centered preaching" (whether liberal or conservative), Telling God's Story winsomely sketches what authentic "biblical" preaching looks like: not conscripting the Bible to legitimate the cultural narratives of consumerist individualism or triumphant nationalism, but rather finding ourselves in the biblical story as an alternative to both. If the church is properly said to be a polis, then this book unpacks the "politics" of homiletics. It should be required reading in seminaries across the North America. And we could hope that pastors already immersed in ministry would be willing to risk reading this book. But be forewarned: it will radically change your understanding of your charge to "preach the Gospel."

Charlie Weis became known as a prolific recruiter when he was the head coach at Notre Dame, luring highly touted prospects like Michael Floyd, Jimmy Clausen and Manti Te'o to campus. In search of his first big recruiting coup as the new coach at Kansas, Weis may go back to one of his highly regarded prospects at Notre Dame: quarterback Dayne Crist.
Two sources with direct knowledge of the situation confirmed that Crist was traveling to Lawrence, Kan., this weekend to discuss reuniting with his former coach, who was announced as the Jayhawks' coach on Thursday. Since Crist is set to graduate from Notre Dame this year, he is eligible to transfer without having to sit out next year. The Chicago Tribune reported Crist's desire to transfer last week. Wherever he goes, Crist will be able to participate in spring practice and play next season.
Crist is expected to visit other campuses, so his ending up at Kansas is not a forgone conclusion. While he is familiar with Weis and adjusting to his offense would be relatively easy, Crist would also be surrounded by a woeful team; Kansas went 0-9 in the Big 12 this season and gave up more than 40 points in 9 of its 12 games over all.
Wisconsin has also been mentioned as a potential destination for Crist, because of its pro-style offense and the success that Russell Wilson, who transferred from North Carolina State under similar circumstances, had this season in leading the Badgers to the Rose Bowl.

There is no doubt that a lot of folks are letting their creative juices flow today and becoming members of what is touted as the "maker community". It is so great to see … and to see that great American ingenuity in play in so many ways.
Being a machinist for almost 30 years now … I like to think I have a little of the MAKER in me as well … and not only in metalworking. Here at Kentech Inc. … our various Kipware® machine shop software software titles are used by thousands of professional machinists and machine shops around the world … and also by thousands of MAKERS as well. People doing everything from woodworking to metalworking in garage shops and professional machine shops around the world. We like to think that if a product is good … it finds it's way into many places. And we are proud of the fact that our Kipware® conversational CNC programming software has made parts for SpaceX as well as that coat rack for Average Joe or Jane.
Kipware® software is also running our sister woodworking company — KÄRV. From quoting and estimating to CNC programming … Kipware® software gives us THE EDGE. Check it out at www.KarvWoodworking.com.
With that MAKER and DIY spirit bubbling inside ( watching Yard Crashers on the DIY network with some java certainly HELPS ) me and my wife decided that this summer would be the summer of our personal YARD CRASH. And so it began.
The Vision
Looking aerially at the yard … I laid out my vision to see if the wife approved. First … a curved walkway leading from the house to a brand new firepit. Not one of those metal, cheap firepits … I mean a new brick firepit with a metal inner ring and nice stone cap. Halfway down the walkway … a detour to our own designed and constructed water feature … waterfall or fountain. And here's where the wife chimed in. "How about this" she says later in the evening. She shows me a pic on Pinterest of a bamboo themed waterfall. "I like it" I reply … we'll think about the design in more detail as we get closer. But there it is … our vision.
The START of Construction
The DEMOLITION and DESIGNER MAKER
The next day we begin the layout in the space where we decided to work … marking the area with string … and removing all the sod. Big job … but we get it done in a couple of days … and start the remodel.
PHASE 1 – Privacy Panels
The CARPENTER MAKER
The first item in the rebuild was to install some privacy panels to insure our nights spent by the firepit were nice and cozy and private. My wife had a "bamboo theme" in mind … which carried over from the waterfall idea … so we got to designing. We came up with a wooden frame clad on both sides with bamboo fencing. Came out and looked great … just the right amount of light coming through and bamboo effect was very elegant.
PHASE 2 – The Fire Pit
The MASON MAKER
We purchased a stone firepit kit from a local stoneware vendor and during the week I got the area prepped and the firepit installed. Leveling and preparing for the first layer was quite a job … but it came out great and the feeling of accomplishment was fantastic. If you're a MAKER … you know what I'm talking about. Friends always say "We just have someone build it" … but there is nothing like that feeling of accomplishment that lasts for years as every time you look at it .. you can proudly say "I built that !!".
With the fire pit installed … I lay out the artistic walkway … line the outer edge with cobblestones … and fill the inside with stone dust. I was a little apprehensive about using the stone dust as a bottom … it was quite dusty to start with … but it turned out fabulous. Once a good rain shower did it's thing … it hardened up nicely and makes for a great walkway.
PHASE 3 – The Water Feature
The ENGINEER and PLUMBER MAKER
The more I viewed my wife's idea for the water feature … and the more we discussed the details … the more confidence I gained that I could do it. I don't think my wife was quite as confident though … a lot of probing questions like "How you gonna do this?"
First … we needed to bring electricity from the house to the waterfall area. Following the local code … we dug our trench ( what a b*&%$ ) … layed our cable inside our PVC piping … and presto. 4 new plugs … an outdoor switch … and plenty of juice for our pump. Tough job but very professionally done … and all to code. The wife was the hardest worker through it all. Chipping in with the ditch digging … and keeping me straight and focused through all the aggravation and at times frustration and hard work.
Next … I bought some reclaimed wooden beams … 6x6x10 … that were once used in the old railroad yard in our city. They became the perfect uprights to support our bamboo "waterfall".
After the ties had set in their concrete moorings for a week … and another trip to Home Depot ( it became our Saturday morning breakfast trip ) … I began the plumbing work. Again … with the constant nudging from the wife to keep me on the straight and narrow … we got it all in and we're ready for the big reveal. Remember this was only a vision and a theory … we had never really tried the design. Judge for yourself with the video below :
You can see it all in the video … the bamboo privacy panels and the working waterfall feature. Below is a closer look at the design "behind the scenes".
The BIG REVEAL …
And that was that. After the wife lent her gardening touches … the big reveal :
… and CONFIRMATION !!
As I mentioned above … I'm a big fan of YARD CRASHERS on the DIY network. A lot of great memories of sitting and binge watching the show on rainy days … getting stoked to start projects of my own around the house … fueling the MAKER spirit if you will.
So when the project was completed … I couldn't resist tweeting a pic to the host of the show, Matt Blashaw. And low and behold … it got his attention and he replied … AND APPROVED !! WoooHooo !!
As the summer nights and weekends go by … we are enjoying the fruits of our work with fabulous fires in the pit with friends and family … accompanied by the zen like sounds of the waterfall. In fact … we have christened the garden with the name the KenZenSue Garden.
Being a machinist I always took a ton of pride in my work … but a lot of it was "business". It was great to unleash my MAKER side and work on a "for fun" project … and to enjoy the results. To all the fellow MAKERS out there … be proud and go get'em.
