Variety reports that Aardman Features has unveiled a new slate of projects. The company signed a three-year first-look deal with Sony Pictures two months ago.
The company has signed writers Matthew Graham and Ashley Pharoah ("Life on Mars") to work with director Steve Box on comedy heist The Cat Burglars The film about milk thieving stray cats will be in Aardman's trademark stop-frame claymation and combine the comedy action of Nick Park and Box's "Wallace and Gromit" feature with the cool styling of Ocean's Eleven, Aardman claims. Box promises audiences something altogether fresh — "family friendly Tarantino."
Aardman co-founder Peter Lord returns to the director's chair for the first time since Chicken Run in 2000 with a comedy adventure based on the "Pirates" series of books penned by Gideon Defoe. Lord, Defoe and writers Andy Riley and Kevin Cecil, whose credits include the sitcom "Hyperdrive" and animation series "Slacker Cats," are working on the screenplay.
Also signed up to Aardman by Smith is Peter Baynham, one of the writers on "Borat," who is developing Operation Rudolph, an action film set on Christmas night. The Christmas movie shows the North Pole operation as an exhilarating ultra high-tech military procedure on a massive scale, revealing how Santa and his huge army of combat elves get round the whole world in one night.
Additionally, Nick Park is developing a new project. Details are not yet released but it is not another "Wallace and Gromit."

Supports Server Gated Cryptography (SGC)
SGC ensures your SSL Certificate will work with millions of users using older web browsers. SGC provides the ability for an SSL Certificate to "step-up" older browsers that are only capable of weak, 40 bit encryption to secure 128 bit - 256 bit encryption without the need to upgrade.
SGC was introduced at a time when stringent United States encryption export laws would only allow browsers to encrypt at 40 bit levels. There are still millions of users that still use these older browsers.
Websites wishing to offer the highest level of trust and 256 bit encrypted transactions to the widest possible audience should consider SGC SSL Certificates.

Do you have a leaky elevator pit?
If you're experiencing a leaky elevator pit or deterioration of your elevator pit causing water issues, RC Waterproofing can help!
If you are experiencing a leaky elevator pit or deterioration of your elevator pit causing water issues, RC Waterproofing is your experienced and proprietary elevator waterproofing solution.This process is specically engineered for INSIDE applications, without the need for expensive exterior applications. Over the past 35 years RC Waterproofing has been waterproofing elevator pits from the inside all over the country.
- Proven processes protects one of the most valuable investments in your building: the elevator.
- Proprietary solutions utililize the most up to date methods to create a permanently dry elevator pit from the inside, even against a flow of water. We utilize a combination of Xypex Crystalline Technology, epoxies, urethanes, and more to create a "Belts and Suspenders" repair.
- Permanent repair which will provide self-healing properties to the concrete, re-sealing leaks that may appear.
Anything but standard.
With over 35 years experience in elevator pit waterproofing, RC Waterproofing is your choice.
Standard industry practice in elevator pit waterproofing involves numerous types of repairs: diverting the water, exterior excavation, "curtain grouting" with foam or plain clay. These methods are not designed for below grade, negative side repairs.
We take a different approach. Using proprietary methods, we breakdown the location of water intrusion and combat each individually – allowing us to offer a permanent repair. By using these techniques, and adhering to ASME regulations, we have gained recognition among engineers and architects as experts in elevator waterproofing. New or existing elevator pit waterproofing is what RC Waterproofing does.
Customer Satisfaction since 1978!
In business for over 40 years, the team at RC Waterproofing knows elevator pit waterproofing like the back of their hand. We've been in business all these years because of satisfied customers!
"The most honest and reasonable price of all I contacted! They were also here on time and finished work in accurate and timely manner. Highly recommend!"
The best technology for the problem.
Using Xypex Crystalline Technology, we make sure that your elevator pit is waterproofed with the best technology available.
Standard industry practice in elevator pit waterproofing involves applying several coats of reinforced epoxy sealant around the entire pit – and subsequently offering no warranty. In standard foundation waterproofing, the same epoxy is used for minor moisture and humidity control on walls that are sweating.
We take a different approach. Using six technologies, we breakdown the location of water intrusion and combat each individually – allowing us to offer a lifetime warranty on our work.
By using these techniques, and adhering to ASME regulations, we have gained recognition among leading elevator manufacturers and referrals of state inspectors for elevator pit water problems.
Recently one of our sales engineers was faced with the task of helping waterproof an elevator pit.
The basic construction of a pedestrian elevator includes a pit 10′-20′ below the last floor for counterweights, wiring and a giant hydraulic safety stand.

Investors are bracing for a rough day in tech on Tuesday after Apple shares sold off sharply in extended trade while VMWare disappointed investors.
Not since July 21, 2008 has Apple stock traded lower on the back of earnings.
What must you know?
Shares of Apple sank in the after market, selling off as much as 6% after Apple gave an earnings outlook for the current quarter that missed analysts' expectations. (Of course it's worth noting that Apple often sandbags and guides to the conservative side.)
On a positive note, Apple did report a huge profit increase that blew past expectations. Sales, however, were mixed.
Sales of Apple's popular iPhone jumped 91 percent to 14.1 million units in the quarter. The company sold 3.89 million Macs, an increase of 27 percent.
But on a bearish note, Apple only sold 9.05 million iPods, a decline of 11 percent year over year. And the company missed estimates with 4.19 million iPads.
By the numbers the company said it earned $4.31 billion, or $4.64 a share, in its fiscal fourth quarter, against $1.82 a share last year.
Revenue for the quarter was reported at $20.34 billion, versus $9.87 billion last year.
Equity analysts who follow Apple expected the company to turn in a profit of $4.08 a share on sales of $18.90 billion, according to Thomson Reuters.
The company forecast current-quarter earnings of $4.80 a share on revenue of $23 billion. The outlook exceeds Thomson Reuters' estimate on the revenue side, but falls short on the profit side by 26 cents.

Gwyneth Paltrow Doesn't Care What People Think About Her
Gwyneth Paltrow is pretty in pink on the cover of InStyle's February 2017 issue and she's opening up to the mag about the public's perception of her.
The 44-year-old Oscar-winning actress no longer cares what people think about her. Here's what she shared with the mag.
On not caring what people think of her as she ages: "When I turned 40, I felt like I got this free software upgrade that I wasn't expecting. It just happened. Suddenly I was like, 'Oh, this is fantastic: I don't care! I like myself, and I'm just going to live my life. I'm going to stop worrying and tearing myself down.'"
On her decision to start Goop and become an entrepreneur: "I'll think, 'Oh my god, I used to have a life of a spoiled movie star… What the f�"? Why did I do this to myself?"
Click inside to read more from the interview…
On why she wanted to release her new Clean Beauty book: "I mean, it's shocking to me that the government doesn't regulate this stuff… How many of my friend have had fertility issues? How many of my daughter's friends have had precocious puberty? Well, maybe that's because we are putting endocrine-disrupting hormones in everything."
On being a pioneer of esoteric health treatments: "I've learned how the cycle works… It used to be that I would talk about something or write about it, and people would be like, 'What the f�" is she talking about? She's a witch!' And then later on it would sort of catch on. So now I just recognize it: OK, I'm going to talk about this, and people will think it's weird, and that's how it goes."
On the challenge of sometimes pushing the needle on wellness issues: "I'm like, this is my role. I'm here to do this. A friend told me if you're a trailblazer, you're the first one through, and you get the cuts because you're hacking the path."

Cattle futures rose for the first time in three days on signs that beef demand is increasing as importers boost purchases and U.S. grocers stock up for summer grilling.
U.S. exporters sold 14,710 metric tons of beef the week ended June 17, up 42% from a week earlier, said USDA. U.S. demand may rise for the Independence Day holiday on July 4, when many consumers grill outdoors. Inventories at the end of May were 13% smaller than a year earlier, the USDA said on June 22.
"We had good export sales on cattle, well above a year ago," said Christian Mayer, a market adviser at Northstar Commodity Investment Co. in Minneapolis. "And people may buy a lot of product for the Fourth of July. We'll see a lot of sales in stores."

I recently listened to a new interview of my favorite scientist/ change practitioner – Dr Joe Dispenza – by Collete Baron-Reid.
Collete asks Dr Joe about the role of our subconscious mind in the change process. Listen to his explanation – about 15 minutes into the interview..
He also mentions that he's releasing a new book in April 2014 (hard cover) – called "You Are the Placebo: Making Your Mind Matter "
"Citing many amazing individual cases studies, this compelling book will empower you to personally use "the expectation of a particular outcome" to alter your internal states—as well as external reality—solely through the action of your mind. It offers the necessary understandings to change old beliefs and perceptions into new ones.
In addition, it teaches a model of personal transformation that correlates with the placebo effect—without the need for any external influences ("placebos" such as sugar pills, saline injections, and so on).
You Are the Placebo combines the latest research in neuroscience, biology, psychology, hypnosis, behavioral conditioning, and quantum physics to demystify the workings of the placebo effect . . . and show how the seemingly impossible can become possible."

Knocking on DoorsThis method means literally what is says- talking to local employers who may have a use for your skills and seeing if they have open positions, preferably in-person. It is fairly effective but can be discouraging because most will not have any opportunities. Logically, however, you only need one good lead to find a job. This approach has the side benefit of opening your search up to smaller local employers who could use your skills, but do not have the resources to conduct a national search- many of them don't even have HR departments, and that's the best news you can hear if you're looking for a job (unless you're looking for an HR job, of course). Even if you had to take a small pay cut, smaller companies can have a slower pace and more rewarding work environment compared to the stifling bureaucracy of large corporations.
ReferralsFriends, family, and professional colleagues refer you for open positions or likely prospects that may be able to hire you. Though not the most effective method, it is one of our favored approaches because it works very quickly and allows the job hunter to circumvent many of the time-wasters on the road to a job.
Government EmploymentJust what is says- you apply for a government job, take a test, interview, and get hired. Very straightforward, and opportunities abound for teaching positions under alternative certification and security positions after 9/11/2001. However, these positions may be incompatible with your professional goals and salary requirements. Note, however, that the government hires in many professional categories, with competitive salaries if you consider the monetary value of low stress and job security- many people do not know that the federal, local and state governments need programmers, engineers, accountants, and managers just like private companies.
Employment AgencyWe're not speaking of temporary agencies here. These types of agencies are usually professional recruiters who take your resume and match it up against their database of jobs (they usually have many more resumes than jobs, and they prefer to recruit the already-employed).
Trade Journal AdsAnswering ads posted in trade journals applicable to your industry. If you have the qualifications, you might land an interview.
Mass-Mailing ResumesThis technique is of low effectiveness, but also low effort. The expense of mailing many resumes may add up quickly for some in tight financial situations. Faxing may offer a lower cost alternative to mailing.
Newspaper AdsAnswering ads for positions advertised in your local newspaper.
Internet/EmailThis is easily the most hyped method relative to its effectiveness. Any serious employment opening will be posted in local newspapers first, and only then to a national audience through the credibility-dependent filter of a professional recruiter (i.e. headhunter), who will usually seek those already employed in order to minimize the chance of recruiting a deadbeat. Most jobs posted on the Internet are posted by professional recruiters looking to snag resumes for their database of currently employed people to match against any open jobs that they are hoping to fill for a client. A lot of the time, no job will actually exist behind the ad, just a recruiter building their database, and even real jobs will be left posted long after they are filled to encourage curious job-seekers to send in their resumes.

History Of NBA Championship Ring
Curious about the history of the NBA championship ring? Along with the Larry O'Brien Trophy, named for NBA commissioner Larry O'Brien, who served as commissioner from 1975 until 1983, NBA championship winners also receive an NBA championship ring, which to many is more prized than the trophy. Unlike the NFL's Superbowl rings, or other sports championship rings, the NBA championship ring is also rarely worn, partly perhaps due to the size, but also due to its value.
In 1985, Pat Riley made the suggestion that each year the NBA championship ring be unique. Since that year, the rings have been designed based on input from the general managers, coaches and players as an ultimate symbol of their accomplishments, and this has added uniqueness to the prize.
The Boston Celtics have won the NBA championship a total of seventeen times since 1957, taking the lead among all NBA teams. The LA Lakers have won a total of sixteen times, counting their previous status as the Minneapolis Lakers, since 1949 and including their recent NBA championship victory over the Boston Celtics, giving the Lakers their 2010 NBA championship rings.
The 2009 NBA championship rings were designed by Jason of Beverly Hills. The ring was designed with input from the team, and featured a special 15-karat Laker gold, in contrast to the traditional 14-karat gold, to commemorate the fifteenth NBA championship by the LA team. Additionally, fifteen diamonds were placed around the center, also honoring this feat. Each ring received a special laser engraving of each player's face on the side as well, making the rings not only unique in design for the team, but unique for the individual.
The 2010 playoffs resulted in the LA Lakers' sixteenth NBA championship victory. It was also Phil Jackson's eleventh NBA championship victory, and key player Kobe Bryant's fifth NBA championship victory.

Three policemen, including an officer, were injured in a landmine blast triggered by Naxals in Gariyaband district of Chhattisgarh on Monday, said the police.
"Deputy Superintendent of Police R K Minj, constables Thaneshwar Verma and Gaurav Shrivastava were injured in the landmine blast triggered by the ultras near Dagnai Nala under Mainpur police station limit in the wee hours of Monday," said Superintendent of Police Ramgopal Garg.
The injured people were first admitted to a district hospital and subsequently air-lifted to Raipur for treatment, he said.
"On getting the information that Maoist insurgents have blocked the road near Dagnai Nala, located over 100 km from Raipur, by felling trees, a police party was sent to clear the route," said Garg.
When the troopers were removing the trees from the road, Naxals triggered the blast and fled into the jungle, he said, adding that a search was on to trace them.

Living in New England: Cemeteries
Not the headstone of the famous ghost, just one that I thought was ironic ;)
65 comments:
The headstones are interesting - the designs from many years ago, the stone and how it has aged and some of the inscriptions.ReplyDelete
My Father always laughed and recanted a story many times about a head stone he saw that read 'I told you I was sick'. I guess if you've got a stone with your name on it it may as well make people laugh rather than cry every time they visit.
Happy Halloween.
These are amazing, they truly are such personal monuments to people's loved ones. Thank you for sharing. xxReplyDelete
Love your post about this peaceful & beautiful cemetery and so nice from you and Dan to bring a toast every year .ReplyDelete
Have to say that I like all your posts !!!!
Have a nice day Joan and Happy Halloween ( we don't celebrate this in The Netherlands , so I envy you ;) ).
Hugssssss, Stella
Hi Joan, it amazes me how much we take for granted in New England, assuming the rest of the country has the same kind of charm (and the rest has their own, of course), cemeteries included! I love when you point things out, as it's great to see our lovely piece of the country through a non-native eye! Happy Halloween to you, too!ReplyDelete
A perfect post for Halloween...you are right if a cemetery could ever look pretty, these do the trick. Love the patina that has developed over time, there are so many unique things that make up a quintessential New England town. Happy Halloween Joan!ReplyDelete
Just beautiful! Seems straight out of a spooky story ;) I've said once, and I will say it again, I think this is the place I would love to live, just so rich in history. Thanks for sharing, hope Ella has a wonderful halloween.ReplyDelete
I love the willow tree designs! AND the verse... "Why weepest, though is not here ". Beautiful!ReplyDelete
OK, I'd say it gives me inspiration, but I'm going to be cremated. :-)
Very nice post. The end of fall is nigh and the bleak months are close. Keep us posted and we'll make it through the winter just fine.ReplyDelete
It is amazing the condition of some of those stones-considering their age. There is beauty in a cemetery.ReplyDelete
Your cemeteries are so different than ours down here. No slate here, it's marble and granite for the most part. Granite holds up well (as you know) but marble gradually fades away. Great for patina, bad for carvings and legible inscriptions.ReplyDelete
Thank you SO much for bringing us along on your walk. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Got a few chills reading some of these tombstones! In our area of Niagara On The Lake in Canada, it was the site of the war of 1812. We also have a cemetery (or two!) with centuries old gravestones. We walk past the larger one often when walking the dogs and cannot help but admire some of the headstones both large and small.ReplyDelete
What a wonderfully interesting post, Joan. I love photographing old cemeteries and reading the headstones. There is so much history written there and so many questions arise as to why so many died very young. I really enjoyed this beautiful cemetery. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
I LOVED this post!!!!! Thank you for sharing your neighborhood. We have many old cemetery grounds here in my N.C. town. As a matter of fact, the TV series "Sleepy Hollow" is being filmed in our oldest cemetery.ReplyDelete
Very interesting post, Joan. I, too, find old cemeteries fascinating. Some of the inscriptions are heartbreaking. Your post makes me want to go visit a really old cemetery here in our town, near where my husband and I were married, and take some photos.ReplyDelete
Wonderful post! I too love browsing thru old cemeteries. Such interesting history, thank you!ReplyDelete
That was beautiful! As a New Hampshire resident, Massachusetts born, and lover of New England, thank you for that post. A great reminder of past and present.ReplyDelete
I love cemeteries! They are not morbid, really it's a showing of love, that the families left behind put up such a monument. And on the east coast, particularly the northern section, there are many old cemeteries. I used to live in a house where on the original property, way back in the woods, was the original family and a slave cemetery. I visited it every year. Is the famous ghost referenced on the last picture of a tombstone? Happy Halloween! Stay safe!ReplyDelete
I did see the Joan Ella....just curious if that was the ghost. ;)ReplyDeleteReplies
It isn't Courtney, just thought it was ironic!Delete
I have always been a fan ....cemeteries are so peaceful. They can be the source of historical info and fun. I walked down to the Burial Ground with a neighbor...reading headstone... I said"this guy must have been a fisherman she said why? because it says House of Cod...haha she said" could that be God"....walking she questioned...what are the SPAM wars..I said not the canned meat but Spanish Am War...again haha.ReplyDelete
Happy Halloween! fun post and boo to you too :)ReplyDelete
Very nice post! I also find cemeteries to be very peaceful places. One of my favorite memories as a child was my families annual trip to Harpers Ferry, WV. We would hike up to the cemetery and just wander and read the headstones, enjoy the leaf colors, then breath in the awesome view of 3 states and 2 rivers. The baby ones always make me cry.ReplyDelete
Sally and I have often walked and wondered as you have - about the names, who they were, how they lived, etc. I love your idea of the toast. It's a perfect way to acknowledge that that person lived, loved, laughed, cried and had meaning and value in our world.ReplyDelete

Thanks so much for this awesome post. If I wasn't living in Seattle, I'd be where you are. Just lovely.ReplyDelete
Fabulous post. I enjoyed seeing these headstones. I felt so sad when I saw the "Little Harry" one. That one with the saying "stoop down friends as you pass by" etc. is quite something! The location and age of this cemetery is great. Thanks for sharing! Happy Halloween!ReplyDelete

I spend many a lunch hour in a beautiful hillside cemetery in the town where I work. Walk around and imagine their lives. Such beauty! Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete

New England cemeteries are wonderful places to explore. Have you had the chance to explore the Shaker village in Harvard MA? The cemetary there is so different from anything else around, and the buildings are beautifull.ReplyDelete
Old cemeteries do sort of bring us back to reality: life is short indeed. And to see, in these very old cemeteries, how many children and young died at such an early age. So many mysteries in these stones.ReplyDelete

I also loved this post. New England cemeteries are so beautiful. It helps that autumn is at it's peak. I thought it sad that Joan Ella and her daughter died at the same time, or so it appears.ReplyDelete
Awesome post! Enjoyed all the pics, so much history and mystery of the lives that once lived in the area.ReplyDelete

Maybe New Englanders should take a hint from the people in New Orleans who annually go to their cemeteries and wash and repair their families crypts. Some people also tend to those without family left to care for their family graves. This was a wonderful post! My ancestors are buried in a similar cemetery outside of Salem, Mass from the 1600's. My mother has taken rubbings from our family tombstones.ReplyDelete
I too enjoy visiting cemeteries - the older the better. Oh, the stories that are buried there. Your photos are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete

A very haunting and thought provoking post. Posted in such a sensitive manner.ReplyDelete
Lived in New England for awhile and the cemeteries always drew my attention.
Really enjoyed this post.ReplyDelete
Some very beautiful and melancholy pictures.
The headstones on older graves are always interesting to me...they are often works of art. The first thing that captured my attention in your post was the incredible foliage on all of the trees in your pictures. Such a beautiful time of year in your neck of the woods.
Thanks for sharing.
Hello Joan, New England cemeteries are so evocative! The older ones in Ohio are interesting, but usually not so dramatic as this. If you ever get to New Haven, you must visit Grove Street Cemetery, a real classic, from the Egyptian Revival gates, to the graves of such luminaries as Eli Whitney and Benjamin Silliman.ReplyDelete
This was fascinating! The 2 that really got to me were "an infant" and "little Harry". I also have never seen such THIN headstones. Here in Pa. they are thick and mostly pretty large. Also most cemeteries have grass and are mowed. Thanks for this post, and it is perfect for Halloween!!! Hope you are having a SPOOKY day:):) Do you get any trick or treaters?????ReplyDelete

Just beautiful as all of your posts are! Thank you for sharing and taking us along. I have always loved looking at old headstones and reading their history and thinking what their life must have been like. The headstone of the baby brought back memories of a stillborn nephew my brother had to bury about twenty something years ago, so sad. Have a wonderful Halloween.ReplyDelete
ok, i am not the only one........ReplyDelete
when i go to new england i always visit a cemetery or three. right now am visiting edinburgh and am current post is on a main cemetary here, come visit!
oh i loved this joan! happy halloween!.ReplyDelete
I love old cemeteries. Great imagery, great verses, great imagined narrative. They're also a great place for quiet reflection and introspection. A challenging time in life just melts away when you when you see where you going to end up in a few years.ReplyDelete

What a great post! Not far from my childhood neighborhood was an old cemetery which had houses built all around it.I used to love to go and visit and read the old tombstones.I never felt scared or spooked,I always felt at peace reading the names and wondering what their lives were like.Happy Halloween! Christine Dracut MaReplyDelete
The detail on old headstones is so intricate compared to those of today. Growing up, We lived next to the church cemetery, often taking newcomers for a moonlight trek. I was always amazed how many were scared during the night but not in the daylight. We also noticed how body parts received headstones, like a leg that had been amputated. Interesting.ReplyDelete
I love your "Living in New England" posts. And this was the perfect Halloween treat. I live in the city and often pass cemeteries that have been engulfed by the metropolis. Sometimes at traffic lights, I glance over and think, what a sad way to spend eternity, interred next to a busy eight lane expressway. I'd never get a moments peace! But your New England cemeteries, those are optimum conditions for eternal rest. And you won't believe this - but my son and I were stopped at a traffic light today, and glanced over at the cemetery where we had passed at least a thousand times before and noticed a pumpkin setting on one of the graves. It caught our eye and made us happy to see the falling leaves, the pumpkin, and the old tombstones right in the middle of the city. Until we read the name Thrasher on the tombstone. And the names on the next two graves ... Cutter and Moon. We love autumn and Halloween. So this made our day. Thanks for such a great post!ReplyDelete

Genealogy is my hobby! I often stroll in cemeteries. Some are lovely like yours.ReplyDelete
When I saw the name Fiske I knew it was in my family line. A quick search got a listing for Able but not much about him. His wife was Anna Spaulding. I could not find any direct link but as Able had relatives living in Middlesex Massachusetts around the same time as my relatives maybe...............
I am a new reader and just read your whole blog from the beginning! It was so wonderful. When I hit 2013 I started feeling sad, the way you feel when you are approaching the end of a favorite book.
I found your blog when looking for blogs on renovation, since my husband and I are considering buying and restoring an old home. But this was so much more. I was touched when you posted about Ella (I am a dog rescuer and lover as well) and moved by the pictures of New England. I laughed when I recognized my own behavior in your stories about antique hunting and felt so involved int he whole process of your renovation. Oh, and I was rather inspired by your beautiful home as well. Thank you so much for sharing! I can not wait to read more posts.
And since this post is about cemetaries, I suppose I will mention that I smiled a bit whiel reading, since this took me back to my childhood. During my entire childhood, my parents never once took a road trip without stopping and having us all walk an old cemetary. When I share this with most people, there response is "that's creepy." :) Until I was an adult, I assumed everyone did this.
Loved reading your post and seeing the funerary art carved in the headstones. I had petersburg va cemetery posted on mine on halloween , I like visiting the very old cemeteries.ReplyDelete

I do genealogy and have found the gravesites of many of my ancestors on the website: Findagrave.com. It depends a lot on people like you that take pictures and record who is buried there. If you have an interest in this, I hope you'll help out and check the website and think about contributing to it!ReplyDelete
I am firmly in the final camp of those you mention....lived in New England for the first 45 years of my life. I do miss ot so.....my heart is there in so many ways. Thank you for these wonderful posts.ReplyDelete
I love cemeteries, too, especially old ones with a long history. What really intrigues me are the "secret" ones. Every now and then, driving down a country road in Maine, we'd catch a glimpse of a headstone or two. Stopping to investigate reveals a tiny, untended graveyard of half a dozen or so headstones - sometimes only two or three. We read the names and speculate as to why they might have been buried there. Our guess is that these are probably old family graveyards that most likely existed before the roads went through.ReplyDelete
A wonderful post (as always) and perfect for Halloween!
When my grandmother came to visit our home in Vermont for the first time what she wanted to see most in the surrounding area was the village cemetery. I had accompanied her on many cemetery visits as a child and teen so was not surprised. She spent a long time reading the headstones and, as odd as it sounds, she was not disappointed with Woodstock.ReplyDelete

In our little on both sides of the road cemetery up the road in Washington, NH we actually have a headstone for a leg! Captain Samuel Jones. as teenagers we used to sit in the crypts and tell ghost stories...and then try to walk back to the camp without getting hysterical!ReplyDeleteReplies
Anon- we love Washington, NH!! We like to go up and visit the stand/store at Eccardt Farm for great meats! It's a gorgeous part of the state- lucky you to have grown up there!Delete
Cemeteries are very interesting and unique places to visit and are often overlooked by most folks when traveling. Reading the very old headstones is also something we do on our travels. The most unique cemetery we ever visited is Hope Cemetery in VT and I would recommend you find that one. Living in the south as we currently are, cemeteries are very often found in the middle of fields or in someone's back yard. It was common to have family members buried close to where they lived; these are cemeteries we do not visit on private lands.ReplyDelete
Hi Joan,ReplyDelete
I think this was such an interesting post. I have told you this before I simply adore your home. It is stunning and I love you style and this blog.

I grew up in a Revolutionary War town in Massachusetts with an old burying ground near the common. We used to picnic there as children and I had many of the headstones memorized.ReplyDelete
My parents are buried at Mount Auburn Cemetery, a gorgeous one designed by Olmsted. A must-visit when you are in the area. So peaceful and beautiful.
love to have a wafer thin tombstone.ReplyDelete
I love the beauty and history of old cemeteries. My sister is in Georgetown, MA, and the cemetery there dates back to the 1700s. Apparently, there was a throat distemper epidemic in 1736 that killed 48 children in the small town. So sad :(ReplyDelete

Joan, I read with great interest of your affection for old cemeteries. Years ago, when my children would have soccer tournaments that were in far distance counties and beyond, we used to leave plenty early so we could take the state and county roads. Whenever we'd begin to go road weary, I would pull into an old cemetery and we'd spend half an hour or so just walking through and reading gravesite markers. To this day my children do not remember anything about their ball tournaments, but they will recall some of the catchy inscriptions they had read as we shared those precious times of family ties... in our own way, giving honor and respect to those that have gone on before.ReplyDelete
What beautiful gravestones - what beautiful photographs! Thank you so much for sharing with us!ReplyDelete

Barbara Kopple's new documentary, Running From Crazy, celebrated its New York premiere at last year's Tribeca Film Festival. In this moving film, actress and icon Mariel Hemingway, the granddaughter of Ernest, fearlessly examines her family's personal demons and patterns of suicide as she tries to avoid the same fate for herself and her daughters. Aided by some remarkable footage shot by Margaux Hemingway before her death, Kopple explores the Hemingway family history, especially that of Mariel, Margaux and Muffet, and focuses on their shared battle with mental illness.
We spoke with director Barbara Kopple about the famous family, the bonds of sisterhood, and the most dramatic change in documentary filmmaking that she has seen during her 40-year career.
Tribeca: Mental illness is a somewhat taboo topic in our society. Have you always been interested in making a documentary about the subject?
Barbara Kopple: No, I haven't, even though I actually studied clinical psychology in college and my son is studying psychiatry during his residency at St. Luke's Roosevelt. I got involved in the project because OWN actually called me and asked, "How would you like to do a film about Mariel Hemingway?"
Of course, I said yes, but what I didn't realize is that they were calling Mariel at the same time asking if she'd like to do a film about her family. She responded: "Are you kidding me? They're crazy, why would you want to do a film about them?" OWN got us together for a breakfast meeting, and we just chatted away like girlfriends. I met her daughters, and we forged a bond. Mariel wanted to go as deep as I did into her personal history and that of her family. In my films, I really like to go under the surface, and because we both wanted the same thing, it was a good match.
Tribeca: The Hemingway family has been a subject of fascination for many people for nearly half a century. How familiar were you with the family already?
BK: Not at all. Like everybody else, I had read Hemingway books and I knew that Mariel was in Manhattan and Personal Best. I knew a little bit about Margaux, but my knowledge was pretty surface level. That's another thing that interested me about making the film. I really wanted to find out what this family was all about.
Tribeca: Mariel has two gorgeous daughters, Dree and Langley, who are just beginning to learn about their family history.
BK: Not only that, none of them knew much, including Mariel. They didn't read Ernest's books, and he was never talked about. They knew he was a great writer, but his life was ultimately kept secret. They understood that he was a WWI vet who hunted and fished, but his demons were never discussed by the family.
Tribeca: Is this documentary almost a cautionary tale for Dree and Langley? How do you think that they as sisters reacted to watching their own mother with her sisters?
BK: I hope they see it as a film about love and communication. I think the reason Mariel participated in the documentary was for her kids. She wanted to do it for others as well, but I guess you have to start at a certain spot. She was so insistent on telling all in this film. All of us know someone with mental illness, suicidal tendencies, or someone who actually has committed suicide. We're not going to change the problems these people face unless we talk about them. That's what this project was all about.
The Hemingway family in general was so complex – there was love, jealousy, illness, and unhappiness – so many different elements. For me, this is a film about family, relationships, and generations. More than a cautionary tale, it is the story of three sisters, and it's about hope, transformation, and being able to put yourself out there as who you are.
No matter how the medium or equipment changes, you still have to have the heart, soul, and ideas you bring to a piece.
Tribeca: Though Mariel was not born before Ernest killed himself, the impact on her family, her life and the lives of her daughters is staggering. Were you aware of the burden of his legacy?
BK: To have a family with seven suicides is just beyond belief. In the documentary, Mariel talks about how she believed they were somewhat of a WASP-y family. She thought every family was like theirs. Mariel thought everyone fought, threw glass, and slept in separate bedrooms. She thought that was the norm.
Tribeca: The footage from Margaux's unfinished documentary on the family was mesmerizing, and the audience gets to know her through her film. How did you find the footage? What was your initial reaction?
BK: That was the real treasure for me. Margaux had done an hour-long documentary; I think it was shown twice, called Winner Take Nothing, but there were 43 hours of other material that we were able to look at. It was such amazing, powerful footage. You really get to take a step in to the Hemingway family and see what they're all about.
We really got to know Margaux as a person—how beautiful and warm she was. All she wanted was love. She was so charming, sultry, and talented, but so lonely. It just breaks your heart.
Tribeca: Throughout the footage, Margaux expresses resentment towards Mariel and other members of her family. Did this surprise you?
BK: Mariel expressed the same sentiment to me. They were all jealous of each other. They were all fighting for love, wanting to be adored, cared about, and embraced. Mariel confirmed this family dynamic without being aware that I had the material from Margaux's documentary.
So after I'd spent some time with Mariel, I'd go back and I'd find similar reactions and feelings in the Margaux footage. Once Mariel described a scene from her past with some very specific details about her mother sitting on the counter of their yellow and blue kitchen with her legs up on the counter.
When I showed Mariel the film in its almost final cut, she got very emotional when she saw all of this footage of Margaux and of her parents' kitchen. She just sat on the edge of her chair and was fascinated because she thought she had been imagining that image of her mother. She couldn't believe the memories were real. She also felt really good because her daughters had never seen their grandparents. It was quite amazing.
Tribeca: Though she's an actor, I was really surprised by Mariel's intimacy and honesty with the camera. As an interviewer, how do you go about making your subjects feel comfortable enough to share their experiences?
BK: I think that being honest with the camera is something they must want to do. Mariel already wanted to share her story, and, there was a great level of trust between us. When I make a documentary, I love my characters and the people I'm filming. I want to create an environment in which they feel safe and comfortable, so they can say whatever they need to say.
You can't have an agenda; you just have to let the film take you where it will.
Tribeca: With the variety of different footage, what was the post-production process like?
BK: It was an exciting process. We had so many different levels of materials that we could go deep and find things out about all of the family members. The editors put little index cards along the wall with all of the different scenes on them. The first cut was five and a half hours so we knew we had to trim the film way down. We'd take things out and try things differently and argue. It's what you do in any situation where you take on a creative endeavor.
Tribeca: It must have been a challenge to whittle a story down from five hours to two.
BK: It's like taking a block of wood and crafting it into something. You can't have an agenda; you just have to let the film take you where it will. Sometimes you're in a terrible place with it, and then, suddenly, things become seamless.
Tribeca: It is no wonder that Mariel is so involved with suicide prevention and with raising awareness of mental illness. I assume the overall reaction to this documentary has been positive.
BK: Well, everyone has his or her own agenda. Some psychiatrists and therapists saw it and opined that we should have interviewed psychiatrists and therapists for the film, but that wasn't what the film was about at all. For me, the point of the project was being able to work with Mariel, who is one of the most positive people I know. She is so honest and brave and has an enormous capacity for self-reflection.
Tribeca: Established directors like Spike Lee and Paul Schrader have turned to Kickstarter to fund their latest projects. Would you ever use the crowdfunding site? How vital has this tool become for emerging/beginning filmmakers?
BK: Of course. It's a lot of work, but you need to keep your projects coming. I think Kickstarter and social media are positive because they get people talking and understanding what their projects are about. They are making all of our communications more fluid. I think this trend is wonderful.
Tribeca: You made your first documentary, Harlan County U.S.A, in 1976. Over your nearly 40-year career, what's the biggest change in documentary filmmaking you've witnessed?
BK: When I first started, I was shooting on 16mm. The equipment has always been the biggest change. But no matter how the medium or equipment changes, you still have to have the heart, soul, and ideas you bring to a piece. I don't think that will ever change. You have to always put storytelling first.
Tribeca: When making an independent documentary like this, how important is social media to start buzz?
BK: Very important because you want to build a community. You want this film to reach the people it needs to reach.
Tribeca: What is the best documentary you've seen this year?
BK: Filmmakers in a documentary community really support each other. So to say one work is better than another is really hard. [laughs] When one of us does well, we all do well. We'll look at each other's rough cuts and help each other because we all want each other be successful. So I really couldn't say.
Running From Crazy is currently playing at Angelika Theater in NYC.

Helpless, upset, angry, frustrated. All these feelings are in us, and at the top of all these is rage. Why? Why?! A farmer saw this German Shepherd Dog by chance when he was walking past a building site near to him. He called us and we were shocked. The dog is skin and bone- literally. He is so weak. Left tied up in the place the builders left him. He would have guarded the site and their tools and machines and they left him to die. There was nothing near to him to eat except mud and stones. Our founder Du Yufeng called Dr Li who attached a drip. He has eaten very small amounts and we are having to help his body urinate. His organs will be near to shutting down but he has some fight in him, wanting and trying to stand so we are fighting with him. If he survives it will be a long process to get him well again. This is who your donations help, who your reposts help. We desperately need small animal legislation in China to protect animals like this one. We will not give up fighting. For him and for every animal in China. Our tears will be tears of happiness one day. One day......
Fighting For Life.
The starving German Shepherd is still fighting for life. We have been feeding him high calorie paste from our veterinary surgeon, Dr Li. We've also been giving him chicken broth.
Throughout the night our founder, Du Yufeng, is nursing him and constantly replacing the puppy pads in his crate because he is incontinent now. Throughout the day she is doing the same along with changing, washing and drying the blankets in his crate.
We doubt whether he had a name when he was a guard on the building site so we have named him 希望 Xiwang (Hope).
The cost of puppy pads and the high calorie paste is growing but you can help us to help Hope by donating.
Thank you for your support.
Since Hope came to us he has had the following treatments:
IV rehydration
Blood immune serum albumin,
ceftriaxone (antibiotic),
Enery mixture,
Inosine supplement,
vitamin B6 supplement.
Throughout these treatments, he has also been given lots of love and care.
It is clear that he is very emaciated and when we clean him we can show you just how thin he is.
He has not done well today so we ask for your prayers to help him through another night.
Hope Has Died.
We are heartbroken. Hope died last night.
This baby guarded the building site, tools, workers and he was cruelly betrayed by the site boss who left him, knowing he would starve to death. Day after day, week after week Hope would have wondered when the boss was coming back for him, eventually realizing he had already signed his death sentence.
Our founder Du Yufeng tells you,
"Two hours before he left us, he put his head up next to me so that I could feed him chicken soup. I wanted to talk to him but tears are flowing. I told him to become a Buddhist and I comforted him, and kissed him... at 10 o 'clock at night I went to feed his glucose water, but he was silent. He had gone to the Western Paradise! Amitabha, amitabha, amitabha. I hope this child will gain happiness!"
Thank you to everyone for your prayers, shares and donations.

I want to maximize the efficiency of everything i get.. this will include an external hard drive and anything else that i may need. i live in nashville and i'm going to be taking the producer/audio engineer route and what the best personal system i can get to do professional editing on my comp. any suggestions on the specifications of the MBP? Should i go for the SSD? and which options should i select? Also, should I do the Mbox Pro with the PT LE? or maybe something else... i know i need pro tools though, it's the industry standard in country music (would PT HD be overkill??) Also, what external hard drive should i get? is there anything i need to buy that i'm leaving out??? Any information would be great. I've had a very basic firefox, cubase le setup at home for a while but that's nothing compared to what i'm about to try to do. Any suggestions and rules of thumb would really help me out.. I know this is a pretty loaded post... thanks!!

For those of us who love flowers, you're in for a treat.
I just finished perusing my new copy of Bringing Nature Home, written by Nicolette Owen of Brooklyn's Little Flower School and beautifully photographed by Ngoc Minh Ngo.
I just finished perusing my new copy of Bringing Nature Home, written by Nicolette Owen of Brooklyn's Little Flower School and beautifully photographed by Ngoc Minh Ngo.
I have never appreciated the style of floral design where the flowers are arranged in a tight triangle or some odd shape that looked like one was simply trying too hard. I am not sure how that style came into being, but I am relieved to say that natural is once again going mainstream.
The book is organized into seasons and offers several feature flowers for each one.
The settings are not grand mansions that many of us would not relate to. The vases of flowers are staged as we would use them at home and show the reader that simply going for a walk in one's yard can yield a treasure trove with which to design.
Yes, those are gorgeous garden roses below, combined with... begonia blooms that we most likely will have growing right outside.
In the fall, what is more lovely than colorful leaves in all of their glory? Why not cut a few branches and enjoy indoors before they fade away?
The book brings to mind the Madderlake book, Flowers Rediscovered: New Ideas About Using and Enjoying Flowers, published back in the 80's and one that I learned so much from on the care and arranging of flowers.
How can you go wrong with a simple yet showy vase of Pieris japonica that you may have growing in your own garden?
Bringing Nature Home also contains four seasonal how to's for you to use to enhance your arranging skills.
If you live in the New York City area, check out the Pop-Up Flower Shop on Saturday, April 14th. For more info, check here.

Just announced by Johnny Gibson.
Good for him. Hope he does very well.
Should we be expecting the driver page of the WoO site to be updated soon or is that an abandoned thing?
Good for him & the team but that'll be one less car at the $100K Mansfield race
With all the money you pay to view that website, you should demand that it be updated moment-by-moment.
IBRACN: "page hits are page hits..."
I thought the same thing. Tim had a very good chance at taking that $100,000 in my opinion.
This is great to hear. When was the last time, if ever the WOO had this many drivers running the season? Based upon the crowds I've seen in person and on video, the health of sprint car racing is doing well. It seems people are turning back to "grass roots" racing.
Good for Tim!
Keep It Real
Glad to hear that. Been watching him for the last couple of years and I think Tim is one of the most under rated drivers around. Strong steady runner
In 2005 I think they had 15 full-time Drivers, that was my last year doing many of the shows and there were lots of cars.
Tim will be a man to be reckoned with, he qualifies well and is always going forward, one of the nice guys on the tour as well....
In 2007, the WoO had 26 full time drivers start the season. @23 full time drivers finished the season in 2007.
Do you happen to have the list of names/
That was the year the NST came back in the fold and the Outlaws kept most of their "mean 15".
not sure how many ran the whole tour, but anything over 20 is too many.
They have a good mix now, Shaffer will fit into that mid-tier right and threaten to win 5-7 a mains.
Outlaws are going to have a stout field os drivers. Will be nice to see the steel city outlaw out there mixing it up with some young blood. I think he will do well.
As a way for fans to learn more about the drivers it sould be updated as drivers sign up for membership has nothing to do with what we paw to view it....they are a professional series and should keep it updated as a way to show respect for the fans who check out the website !!!!
Glad Tim is joining the outlaws. I wonder what changed his and the teams minds?
I thought I read somewhere Tim said he liked running a true outlaw schedule and not committed to racing when they didn't feel like it. I also thought they said about not having the crew to run a full schedule with a series.
It would be interesting to find out what changed him and the teams mind. Anyway good luck to Tim and the #49 team.
If you sign up as a platinum member are you allowed a certain number of no shows or are you expected to be at every single race bar crazy curcumstances?
The answer to most every question whether it's racing, life or whatever is money. They must feel that at the end of the year they will be money ahead.
LOL. What?
Yes, teams are on the Outlaw tour because the net profit is so high. Car owners not backed by NASCAR money often leave the Outlaw tour after a few years because they make so much money that tt is a better use of time to sit home and roll around naked in all the money they earned after expenses.
Teams run the Outlaw tour for a variety of reasons, but turning a profit isn't one of them.
What was the number Pete Chesson said he spent chasing the Outlaw tour, a million dollars? And that was 15 years ago.
I don't think they're allowed to race anyplace else on a nite that WoO is racing, there are other restrictions, I'm not really sure of details
A few years ago there was a big controversy cause Jason Sides was denied his points $$ for the season for running an unauthorized race...
"outlaws" my ass, right?

"The movement to greater transparency and certainly access by elected officials to important information will continue as voters and taxpayers look to hold their elected officials accountable for a myriad of decisions," Ives said at the U-46 board meeting on Monday night."

TODAY marks the anniversary of the 1970 death of philosopher Bertrand Russell…

|Brantly B-1
Brantly, a weaving machinery expert with the Penn Elastic Company, designed and had made by that firm a helicopter with contra-rotating co-axial rotors, the lines of which had a very clean appearance.
The B-1 was fitted with two co-axial contra-rotating three-bladed rotors. Neither push rods nor cranks were visible in the rotary wing assembly. Actually, the collective, cyclic and differential controls were completely enclosed in the hubs and ran in an oil-bath.
A universal joint combining two hinges was situated at some 1.8 metres from the root of the blades. The radius of the non-flapping part of the blades was thus 1.8 metres.
Each blade weighed only 5.5 kilos and the rotors normally turned at 320 r.p.m. This rotorcraft made its maiden flight in 1946.

I carved the hat block to made my signature style hat in my millinery studio in the Hollywood Hills.
I used the highest grade of parisisal (the queen of straws) which took a master weaver 7 days to weave by hand. Then it takes me 3 days to dye it a pale pearl gray, dry, steam, size shape and trim.
I added a wide satin charmeuse sash and an extra large handmade black silk flower.
Measure 1/4" above your ears and around where a hat would rest snugly so I can custom make it
to fit you. Please allow up to ten days for custom made hats to be completed and shipped.
Custom made hats are not returnable.
My hats have been commissioned by Disney Studios, seen in Victoria Magazine and been worn at the Royal Wedding, Ascot, Buckingham Palace Garden Party, Kentucky Derby and Melbourne Cup.
PLEASE PIN & SHARE ON SOCIAL MEDIA WITH A LINK TO MY SITE. Thank you.
My prices are wholesale to the public. Fine shops purchase them and double the price to their customers.
This is not a rain hat.
Some countries may add a customs fee which I have no control over.
This may delay delivery by several days.

Well, things are finally starting to come together! I won't lie, I've been stressing these last few weeks. We still have yet to pack and move, but we are hoping to get everything moved by this week . . . eek! I'm so sorry I've been lacking in the blog postings something terrible. There has just been so much going on, I had to set priorities with myself. I can't wait to get settled and have time to relax and blog this summer. I'm not going to be taking any summer school, so that will be nice.
I finished my finals and now am concentrating on getting things packed and ready for moving. It's hard trying to move when you have to do it after a full day of work, but it's getting there!
We still have to finish painting the master bath, laundry room, powder room and guest room, along with touch up, but those will have to wait till after we move in. We've got the majority of it done and I had the professionals tackle the high staircase and hallway, thank goodness! They were life savers. We also started (with the help of my dad) on the crown molding and hope to have that done by tomorrow? We also picked up our laminate flooring and want to start that in a couple weeks. So much to do! Man, and I thought this place was move in ready!
Here is the master looking into the bath. The colors seem much brighter on the camera in the light, but are a bit darker and richer. Still have to paint the bath the same color as the staircase/hallway.
Here's some of the beginnings of crown molding. Sorry for the poor quality, it's from my phone :( It sure is amazing what crown molding can do to a room!
Here's Chris with the flooring, I think it will look nice!
I'll be posting more (and better) pictures when we get closer!
I now have a © logo thanks to the talented designers at Canyon Creative!!! Hopefully, we can get this incorporated to the new site and get it up and running this summer. What do you think?
I've been cooking (uh em . . throwing together) a lot of quick and easy things these days, like tacos, annie's mac and cheese, frittatas, anything I can find in the back cupboard, etc. And we've even sneaked in a few eating out occasions with coupons if we can help it. I have to get a ton of gifts for everyone that have helped us and continue to help us through this process. It's amazing how a few extra hands can make all the difference. We are so thankful.
Well, I better get to packing and hopefully when you hear from me again we'll be moved! I'll also be posting the 5 winners to the giveaway. Yay! Hope all is well in your world :)

Strong business in North America helped Ford Motor Co. post a big increase in fourth-quarter profit Tuesday, excluding a tax adjustment last year, but the automaker is still being hurt by Europe's economic malaise.
The nation's second-largest automaker earned $1.6 billion in the latest quarter, up 55% from a year earlier. For the year, earnings slipped 5% to $5.7 billion.
The results don't include the effect of 2011 changes in valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, which greatly increased net income last year.
Still Ford's North American pretax profit of $8.3 billion for the year was good enough generate profit-sharing payments averaging about $8,300 for about 45,800 eligible U.S. hourly employees.
