U-Turn Round – Avoncroft Museum
The U-Turn Round is wall mounted alongside the shelter and uploaded with 8 tracks selected to give visitors a taste of wartime Britain including sounds of a Lancaster Bomber, an air raid in progress, air raid sirens and the classic Winston Churchill ' Finest Hour' speech.
Avoncroft Museum had the honour of being England's first open-air Museum when it was set up in 1967 in order to prevent the destruction of a mid-15th century house. It's now home to 27 relocated historic buildings including a fully working mill, a prefab house of the WWII era, an 1870's cell block, genuine Anderson air raid shelter and the original Medieval Merchants house that prompted the establishment of Avoncroft Museum to begin with.
Some buildings are fully furnished with historically appropriate items and used creatively for educational purposes, with sessions available on site for school trips that tie in to the National Curriculum, helping children learn in an imaginative and exciting way.
U-Turn Round Audio Point
The Anderson air-raid shelter was designed in 1938 in anticipation for the outbreak of WWII, named after the man given responsibility for preparing the nations air-raid precautions, 'Sir John Anderson'. Throughout the course of the war approximately 3.6 million were erected saving the lives of untold thousands.
Avoncroft Museum houses a genuine Anderson air-raid shelter amongst their extensive list of historic buildings, it plays a large role in their 'child of the 40's' teaching sessions, offering a great insight into what life would have been like for children (and adults) who lived through the bombing raids of World War Two.
With these teaching sessions and the regular visitor experience in mind Avoncroft sought ways to introduce audio into the outdoor Anderson exhibit. The U-Turn Round audio point was an obvious choice, offering up to 8 tracks whilst remaining completely self powered and boasting a robust steel housing it not only fulfilled the audio requirements of the project but also looked the part, aesthetically fitting in very nicely with the Anderson Shelter.
The U-Turn Round was wall mounted alongside the shelter and uploaded with 8 tracks selected to give visitors a taste of wartime Britain including sounds of a Lancaster Bomber, an air raid in progress, air raid sirens and the classic Winston Churchill ' Finest Hour' speech.
The effect was instant, the sounds of a Lancaster Bomber or air-raid sirens echoing off the corrugated steel walls really helps visitors envisage what it may have been like during the early 1940's.

AMBROSE vs. TAKER. 'Nuff said.
Quick Results
LONDON, England
- Jack Swagger pins Alberto Del Rio with a Gutwrench Powerbomb in a No DQ match
- Layla pins Aksana via roll up
- They show a preview of Total Divas, a new reality series starring the Bellas on the E! network.
- They replay highlights of The Shield beating Taker and company on RAW.
- The Shield cut another video promo and boast about beating Taker and Team Hell No. Dean Ambrose says he has an itch that needs scratching and that he's going to beat the Undertaker. Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins allude to going after the tag team titles. Yes please.
- Fandango makes his entrance and the crowd gets their Fandango on. I think the Fandango meme/craze stays alive only at the WWE events.
- Fandango pins Justin Gabriel with the Bobby Eaton Super Legdrop
- Big Show pins Sheamus with the KO Punch (when Sheamus was distracted by Mark Henry)
- Wade Barrett pins William Regal with the Bull Hammer
- Mark Henry defeats Randy Orton via DQ (Sheamus interfered and gave Henry a Brogue Kick)
- After the match Orton gave Henry an RKO.
- The Undertaker submits Dean Ambrose via Hells Gate/Gogoplata
- After the match The Shield put Undertaker through a table with a Shield Bomb
- Alberto Del Rio came out to a nice pop. Glad the British fans gave him some love. The match itself was a solid fast paced opener to the program that included the beloved Kendo stick of doom. The storytelling was superb with Swagger blasting ADR's leg with the Kendo stick and Del Rio working over Swagger's arm early. At one point, ADR lashed Swagger's back with the Kendo stick while Swagger was sitting on the second rope. Then ADR followed the punishment up with a sick back stabber. I also liked how Swagger got out of the Cross Arm Breaker with the help of the Kendo stick. This was one of the better opening matches I've seen this year.
- Layla-Aksana was fine for what it was. Layla has a special way of getting the crowd behind her. You have to give her props for being able to get any reaction she wants from the fans, whether as a face or a heel. Midway through the match, a portion of the crowd tried to get some Fandangoing action going. I suppose that's better than chanting 'boring.' Funny to see a fan in the crowd try his darnest not to keep his hand just under Layla's breast when she hugged the fans.
- The tone was set when Swagger and Alberto Del Rio took a lot of punishment for the fans in opener. Those two really earned their money tonight.
- So great to see the Shield layout some future plans in their promo. It's been a while since I've seen a faction carry the major titles. It would be nice to see the Shield do it before Ziggler's crew does.
- Fandango got a few chants in his favor during his match. I'd like to see more of what 'Dango and Justin Gabriel could do together in the ring. This match just skimmed the surface of their movesets and talents. 'Dango's sliding enziguiri on the apron is definitely a nice addition to his moveset. Good, short squash match.
- I think we've all seen Big Show vs. Sheamus before and yes, Sheamus was protected in this loss. As far as promos go, I think a Big Show-Mark Henry tag team would be very entertaining.
- Loved seeing the British fans give William Regal the respect he deserves. The match itself was short but I think the WWE should give Regal a little push on the next England tour.
- Seeing Orton cheer on Sheamus for interfering in his match with Mark Henry was odd. The Viper I'm used to would have given RKOs to both Henry and Sheamus and left the ring.
- Really glad they played Undertaker's entrance in full. The reaction was perfect. This was an entertaining main event for the B show. Watching Dean Ambrose's mannerisms throughout the match is entertaining in itself. I'm assuming the DDT is Ambrose's finisher, which is cool. Roman Reign's spear on 'Taker through the barricade was a brutal moment. Overall, this was a good episode. We got the Undertaker in the main event and a Shield Bomb through he table to end the show!

THE EXORCIST – Tyler Bates
In 2016, the American broadcasting network Fox debuted a TV series based on the 1971 William Peter Blatty novel The Exorcist. Creator Jeremy Slater's journey back into the world originally established by the novel was received positively by critics. Whereas Season 1 focused on telling the whole story of the demonic possession that grips the Rance family, Season 2 followed the format of an anthology series, where Fathers Tomas (Alfonso Herrera) and Father Marcus (Ben Daniels) come to the aid of another family whilst tackling a number of additional 'problems'. Although several of the main characters (e.g., both Fathers Tomas and Marcus) in the show appear in both seasons, many do not feature in Season 2. Mirroring some of the significant changes in the show between seasons, composer Tyler Bates wrote the score for the second series, taking over from Season 1 composer, Daniel Hart. [Read more…]
THOROUGHBREDS – Erik Friedlander
Thoroughbreds is a drama/thriller that tells the story of two teenage friends, Amanda and Lily, who hatch a plan between them to be rid of Lily's mother's controlling partner. Directed by first-time-director Cory Finley and starring Olivia Cooke (Amanda) and Anya Taylor-Joy (Lily), Thoroughbreds is a dark comedy that has been applauded for the performance of the central characters. The score is written by Erik Friedlander.
Originally trained as a cellist, Friedlander has composed music for ads, dance works and scored feature films (Future Weather [2012], Oh Lucy! [2018]) and documentaries (Nothing On Earth [2013]), as well as creating a number of projects for other musical disciplines. Thoroughbreds is a sparse score that is dominated by a variety of percussion instruments (played by Satoshi Takeishi) that is peppered with additional musical colours including prepared piano (played by Sylvie Courvoisier) and a small ensemble of strings (including cello).

PILGRIMAGE – Stephen McKeon
Pilgrimage is a powerful Irish historical drama directed by Brendan Muldowney and is set in 13th century Ireland. A group of monks leave the sanctity of their monastery and, under orders of the Vatican, must escort a sacred relic across a hostile Ireland and onwards to Rome. The faith and devotion to their task are tested from without and within as they come up against savage local tribes, Norman soldiers and even members of their own group. The low budget film stars a strong cast including Tom Holland, Richard Armitage and Jon Bernthal, and has a wonderfully dramatic score by Stephen McKeon. His score for Pilgrimage won the Irish Film and Television Awards (IFTA) for Best Music in 2018. [Read more…]
PIXEL SOLDIER – Alex Ball & Scott Hazell
Original Review by Alan Rogers
Pixel Soldier is an excellent short animated film written, directed and produced by Chris Landy. The movie follows a group of video game characters as they are sent behind enemy lines to take and hold a building of strategic importance. Senseless killing on both sides ensues as the troops fight for survival. Landy shifts between a number of different perspectives to tell the story and skilfully moves between 2-D and 3-D animation as these viewpoints change. British composer Alex Ball was tasked with writing the score for Pixel Soldier, beginning to write music for the project when still at an early stage back in 2012 and being responsible for the overall approach to the music. Fellow composer Scott Hazell joined the team later and provided additional music for several scenes. [Read more…]
MILO – Music for a Small Orchestra – Guy van Nueten
Original Review by Alan Rogers
Milo (2012) is an Irish-Dutch co-production starring Lorcan Bonner as 10-year old Milo, a boy living a rigidly controlled life. Milo has a skin condition, the nature of which is revealed later in the movie as events unfold. Rebelling against the strict rules he lives under, he runs away and falls into the hands of a criminal couple. Milo enjoys the freedom the couple offers him but that enjoyment ends when he find out the truth about his "sensitive skin" condition. Part a study of a dysfunctional family, part road movie, the music for Milo is written by Belgian composer and producer Guy van Nueten.

Pair shot over 'fake gun' at swingers ball
A man and a woman have been shot by police during a fancy-dress swingers ball at a Melbourne nightclub when a "fake gun" was allegedly aimed at officers.
But the owner of Inflation nightclub says the man wasn't holding a gun and was in a "compromising position" with a woman when police "stormed in" and opened fire.
The partygoers suffered gunshot wounds in the incident at the King Street nightclub about 3.30am on Saturday.
The club was hosting a raunchy Saints and Sinners Ball, described on its website as a "no holds barred extravaganza of adult fun".
Police say they arrived at the ball after receiving a number of reports that a man had a gun at the venue.
Security told police the gun was a toy or fake weapon rather than a real one.
But when officers approached the man he allegedly drew the gun from his pants and would not drop it when asked.
"As a response police then fired a number of shots and a male and female were injured," Superintendent Lisa Hardeman told reporters on Saturday morning.
She said police were told it was a "fake gun" but in the heat of the moment they could not be sure.
"The firearm was levelled at police, and police asked the man to drop it and he didn't," Supt Hardeman said.
"You can imagine, in a nightclub, it's very difficult to tell whether a firearm is real or not."
The nightclub's owner Martha Tsamis took to social media on Saturday to defend the venue, claiming staff did not call police and the pair shot were doing nothing wrong.
"Venue staff have stated that the male victim was not holding anything in his hand but rather he was in a compromising position with his female partner, which is a normal activity with the nature of this event," she posted on Facebook.
"Security had no concerns prior to the incident, and advised police on attendance that they were more than happy to deal with any issues.
"But police rejected this advice, stormed in, fired three shots and a taser."
The 35-year-old man was dressed as Batman character the Joker and the woman he was with was reportedly kitted out as Harley Quinn.
He was shot in the torso and taken to Royal Melbourne Hospital under police guard and he remains there in a critical condition.
The woman was shot in the leg and taken to the Alfred Hospital in a stable condition.
Supt Hardeman would not comment on reports the man was tasered after he was shot but she said a number of police options were used.
She said she was "very satisfied" police had acted according to their training.
The "rockers, punks and goths" themed ball was aimed at "broadminded adults" and tickets sold for $55 per person.

Lorin Stein, an editor at Farrar, Straus & Giroux whose youth belies his influence in the publishing industry, was named the editor of The Paris Review, the prestigious literary magazine, its board of directors said on Friday.
Mr. Stein, 37, a former assistant to the Farrar, Straus president and publisher Jonathan Galassi, has gone on to edit several high-profile authors at that house. In 2007, three of the five fiction finalists for the National Book Awards were works edited by Mr. Stein, including Denis Johnson's "Tree of Smoke"; Mischa Berlinski's "Fieldwork" and Lydia Davis's short story collection "Varieties of Disturbance."
As editor of The Review, Mr. Stein will succeed Philip Gourevitch, the author and journalist who announced in November he was stepping down from the position. And he will have to measure up to The Review's longtime editor George Plimpton, whose mannered panache became synonymous with – if not better known than – the magazine itself.
In a telephone interview on Friday, Mr. Stein said he was up to the task.
"Part of what The Review is for me," he said, "is not just a place for writers to publish things and for readers to read them, but at its best it can be a gateway drug. My whole life has been in the shadow of that experience."
As a precocious 14-year-old growing up in Washington, Mr. Stein said, he received his first copy of The Review as a Christmas gift. Inspired by the magazine, he said, he made his first unchaperoned trip to New York with friends to conduct an interview with the playwright John Guare.
"It showed that grownups could run a literary magazine, and that grownups who had real style and real flare could take it very, very seriously," Mr. Stein said. "That to me is the good fight, especially at a moment when magazines are changing so much and there are fewer and fewer places to do it."
Mr. Stein said he will start as editor of The Review on April 1 — "April Fools," he added.

Episode III Of the Adventures of John and Holly Part 28: Time Apart Holly had the chance to study abroad, and she took it. She was going to be gone for a month in Europe. This was our last night together before she left early in the morning. We were sitting at the table, having just finished dinner. "I have to go a whole month without you?" I asked her, still coming to terms with her impending absence. "I know baby, I'll miss you so much" Holly said. "I don't want you moping around so i finally fucked this hot babe harper and it was amazing hardcore teen I was here" Holly said.
"What do you mean?" I asked her. "I want you to have fun while I'm gone" She said. "Define Fun" I said. "You know what I mean. sex, silly" She said. "Oh SEX? I was going to have tons of sex anyway" I said, playing with her. She rolled her eyes. "And you be sure to have fun too" I said to her. "Were you just trying to get my permission to have sex on your trip?" I asked her, knowing it was the point of the entire conversation. "Yes" She said. "You don't need my permission for anything" I said.
"Well except for maybe a sex change operation or something like that" I said joking. She just smiled at me, that big wide loving smile, her eyes seeing through mine to me. "Holly, I love you, I know that you would never do anything to hurt me, or to jeopardize us, if you want to have sex with someone, you don't need my permission" I said, seriously. "I love you too John and I know that sex can be for love and for fun, and that its only love between us, and that is what matters" She said to me. Our hands in each others on the table top, our eyes staring into each others.
"You know what?" I said to her. "What?" She asked me. "Tonight will be unforgettable, and we will go a month just remembering it." I said, matter-of-factly. Holly didn't have to ask why, she knew why.
We would both use up the love from the next month in one night. *** Holly left the table and told me to come into the bedroom after her in five minutes. I cleaned the table off and then watched sportscenter for a few minutes waiting to go in. After much anticipation, I walked into the bedroom. There were candles lit on the dresser, giving the room a dim glow.
Holly was wearing lingerie, a lacey see through garment, a Victoria's Secret kind of thing. It was semi-transparent and strapped over her shoulders, covering her breasts, down to her stomach and crotch. It was incredibly sexy.
She was sitting on the edge of the bed. I took off my clothes, walking to the bed naked and sat down next to her. She put her head on my shoulder. "You will never be able to forget this night" She whispered sexily into my ear.
"I love you" I said to her. "Shhh" Holly said, putting one finger against my lips as she pushed me back onto the bed. Holly straddled me, laying on me, kissing me.
Holly and I made out for a very long time, just kissing and holding each other in the dim light. Our bodies pressed against each other, trying to be so close we would be inside of each other, our lips and tongues moving in and out of each other.
Holly got up, leaving me on the bed. She slipped the straps off her shoulders, and pulled the lacey garment down stepping out of it. Now naked, she crawled back on top of me.
She caressed my body as she came back up to me, face to face. "Tell me when you get close to coming" She said to me. "Okay." Holly gave me a few quick strokes, and then held my cock behind her, as she lowered herself onto me, me in her. She lay on top of me, her breasts pressing against me, my cock throbbing inside of her. She was looking right into my eyes. She tilted her head and lowered her lips to mine.
Her tongue lovingly caressed mine, as she slowly thrusted her body against mine. I didn't thrust back, she did all the work. Holly's hot tight pussy surrounded my throbbing cock, our bodies joined. Holly kept the thrusting at a slow loving pace. After a while her juices were flowing down to me. Our mouths still making love as well. She was approaching orgasm. She was breathing heavily, as her pussy came, contracting around me.
She kept herself from screaming, her tongue in my mouth. Then she went straight back to thrusting again. She made love to me still more, our mouths still together with my arms around her back, holding her tight against me. Soon I was approaching my own orgasm.
"I'm close" I said. Holly stopped thrusting entirely. She lay still on top of me. She pulled her mouth away, just staring into my eyes. It's hard to describe what her eyes said to me, or how it made me feel, but its just love I guess.
My near orgasm subsiding, Holly resumed thrusting and our mouths were together again. Holly's breasts were rubbing up and down my chest, her nipples poking into me. She made love to me. She was close to coming now, and she slightly increased the pace. She came, this time unable to restrain her pleasurable outburst. She embraced my kiss, her hands on the sides of my face as she made out with me. Her pussy still quivering around my cock, she went straight back into thrusting again.
When I got close to coming, she would stop, and let me come down. She continued this for at least two hours. She had come probably five or six time, but kept me from coming. Super cute newbie claire robbins teases us outside on a patio was so excited I was ready to burst. She had made love to me until I could take no more.
"I'm close again" I said. "I love you" She said, looking into my eyes. She pushed her tongue into my mouth, our mouths making love again, she thrusted her pussy against me so hard and fast I saw stars. I came right away, filling her up.
Her pussy milking my cock, I filled her love slit with semen. She continued pumping her body against me. Dad and mom and dotar sex ears were ringing and I was light headed right afterwards. My cock still inside of her, Holly simply lay on top of me. We fell asleep, my cock inside of her, our juices between us. She laid her head on my shoulder as we slept. I wouldn't see her again for a month. Holly: Let me introduce myself.
You all know me, my name is Holly. I have been having a lot of fun helping John write the stories about our past. I spent a lot of time helping him write some parts that were from my point of view earlier in the series.
But for this section, we both agreed that I should write it, since John wasn't there. It's amazing that so many people are reading our story and like it so much. On to my writing debut. Well here it is.
… I looked over at the buzzing alarm clock and realized that it was already 3 in the morning. I only had an hour to get ready and leave for my month of studying abroad. My plane for Paris left at 7. John was still sound asleep and I gingerly pulled myself off him, my body still tingly from the night before. I showered quickly, washing away the remnants of our love from the night before. I kissed John and finished getting ready in a haze. Next thing I knew, I was on the plane trying to get to sleep for long flight.
I was sitting in my chair, staring out the window to the clouds below. I couldn't wait to get to Paris. I was going to have so much fun between classes. But… a month is such a long time. I wish John could have come with me. I hoped he would have fun while I was gone, because I knew I'm going to have some fun. I knew I would miss him. I love him. For the first time, I actually thought I might get jealous of a girl he might be with.
We had really stumbled into sex with many people, and then it became a habit. But I was always there. Now I would be gone. I was confident before, but I was beginning to wonder if this may not be a good idea. I think it was probably just something to occupy my mind for the long flight. John: I woke up, and she was long gone. She had to be gone by 4 am.
Somehow I missed her leaving. I guess she didn't want to disturb me. I rose and showered, getting all the dried up juices off me. Semi-dressed, I went into the living room, and got on my computer.
I tried to remember my login and password for the internet sex strangers site. After some thinking, and mainly ebony riding white girlplaymate my big black threesome to find the old e-mail, I got my password.
I logged on and browsed through the women's listings. Many of them had pictures. I figured I would try something new. I milfs wet crack endures hammering hardcore and blowjob lots of college girls, nympho types.
But what about sex starved older women? I narrowed the search to just older women in the area. I browsed through, finding some interesting ones. I sent some e-mails to the women. It could be days, or never, before they replied. I decided to list myself, just for this month. I put up my listing. John Morrison, 20 years old. Man seeking woman. It asks for a description of myself. I thought for a while. "Young man, lots of experience, knows how to please. My nympho girlfriend is out of town.
She told me to share the love, looking for woman who needs some serious service. One month only, get it while its hottt." I was proud of it. Maybe I should become a writer… With that up, anyone could search through the male listings by all sorts of categories, and see mine.
I even put in a picture. They let you put up pictures of any body-part too, but I didn't do that. Under the 'size' category, I put above average, which is true. I figured I might get a reply in a week or two. With that business out of the way, I watched some TV, just passed some time.
On a whim I checked my e-mail before going to get some food. I had a reply already. 'Hi John, My name is Veronica. I am Forty seven. I divorced my husband three years ago when I found out he had cheated on me…many times.
I got half the bastard's money, so I don't work. I moved out here, and I am all alone in my mansion. I need a man to bring excitement to my boring life. Will you rescue this lonely older year old college girl makes porn video Please respond quickly, I am wearing my vibrator out!' "That was fast" I muttered to myself.
A rich, lonely, older woman, who is wearing out her vibrator. if this isn't a case of a lonely woman who needs rescue, I don't know what is. I sent a reply, and within the hour, we were chatting it up on the phone. I was going to meet her for our 'date' on Tuesday, today is Saturday. So there's that. Going down the list, I had an e-mail from the sex club that I had overlooked, from the excitement of Veronica's e-mail. 'John & Holly, we have another meeting on Thursday, hope you can attend.
Also, we are having a special party for all the guys next Saturday. Call me or e-mail me with any questions. --Peter' "Man, she's gone a couple hours and I got dates lining up" I said to myself. "I am hot stuff I guess" I said to myself again. Ahh telling jokes to yourself about yourself by yourself. Hey, I thought it was pretty funny at the time.
Well, I have three days before my 'date.' I guess I can hold over until then. I wonder if Holly was getting any yet…

Paris Wanderland by Hermès
Hermès' travelling exhibition makes a stop in the city that gave birth to flânerie, the enjoyable pastime of meandering around a city in one's best clothes.
After launching earlier this year at The Saatchi Gallery in London, the French luxury label is bringing its immersive Dans l'Oeil du Flâneur exhibition (through the eyes of an urban wanderer) home just in time for fashion week. From 18 September to 5 October 2015 visitors will be taken on an imaginative journey through the streets of Paris, recreated in a stately building on the left bank of the Seine.
Across 11 rooms familiar sights like the shopping arcade, the café terrace and the lone advertising column in the square have been interpreted by a selection of artists with a touch of the surreal.
"The journey through Wanderland draws its coherence from two intrinsic elements of la flânerie: dreaming and freedom of spirit", explains Bruno Gaudichon of La Piscine-Musée d'Art et d'Industrie in Roubaix and curator of the exhibition.
Building on Hermès' penchant for eccentric window displays and creative advertising, it takes the concept of window shopping to a whole other level. The house's wide range of luxury goods, both past and present, has been integrated in interactive installations and curiosity displays, showcasing objects that were pulled from the archive of the Emile Hermès Museum alongside iconic items from the collections such as riding boots, walking sticks, scarfs and various editions of the infamous Birkin Bag as well as newer product additions like the Hermès bike. Travel has always been an integral part of the brand's DNA and with this exhibition Hermès is transporting body and mind to a colourful dreamscape where its coveted lifestyle seems to be within hands reach. After Paris, the exhibition will move to Turin in December and on to China in 2016.
Dans l'Oeil du Flâneur runs till 5 October.

My name is Marie and I like long walks on the beach...oops, wrong thread :smokin: *clears throat* My name is Marie and I am 39 years old. I was in a long term relationship that ended 3 months ago. For the moment, I am done with dating and am concentrating on myself and learning to love myself. I was a serial dater because I dreaded (read: hated) being alone. I am sorta getting the hang of being by myself but I still fight with feeling lonely. I am slowly learning to embrace being alone. It is not my ideal way to live but for right now, it is all right. I have learned that I will not die from loneliness. I would rather be alone with my thoughts than have to deal with Mr. Right Now. OK, your turns. Black Jade where are you?

Happy Birthday, Charlie!
Happy Birthday Charlie! Wow- seems like only yesterday I called Stace on her cel phone only to discover you were at the hospital.... (le sigh) How does it happen so fast? Who would of imagined that tiny little baby would become such a beautiful, smart, strong little toddler in just a year...?
Holy cow, one year old! How wonderful and amazing. Happy birthday, little guy!!
We'll see you soon.
shut up! Charlie is 1 already too? I'd ask how did this happen, except that I know all too well.
Man, I know countless others have made these same observation, but they sure do grow up quickly!
Happy B-day Charlie!!
A year? That went by fast. Everything is going by fast now. A few weeks ago I was surprised to learn that Allen and Anneke were about to celebrate their fifth anniversary. It seems like about two.
Yep, it's five already. Before you know it, Charlie and Marieke will be away at college! I can't believe I let myself write that - I have stopped myself several times lately from saying to total strangers something like 'oh yeah, just wait until they get older and learn how to do x.'
Happy Birthday, little man!
Happy Birthday, Charlie! The second year is even more fun than the first. I'm sure you will with that sweet little man.
Happy Birthday to Charlie! He's come such a long way in one year (I know they all do, but it always amazes me how much they change.) Pretty soon Jonas and Charlie can play together!

What Is Bridging Finance And How Does It Work?
Selling your home can be a time-consuming and costly process, with some of the costs incurred including the deposit, legal fees, stamp duty, surveying, mortgage application fees, search fees and land registry free.
If you know that you're going to have the money to pay for these costs in the immediate future, but not upfront, you could apply for a short-term loan to speed up the process of your sale. Bridge financing is designed to help homebuyers complete the purchase of a property before the sale of their existing home has completed.
In this post, we'll look at what bridge financing is and how it works, as well as the advantages and disadvantages to help you decide whether a bridging loan is right for you.
What is Bridging Financing?
Bridging financing, usually in the form of a bridging loan, is a short-term funding option designed to bridge a gap between a debt coming due and the credit becoming available. It can be used for a variety of reasons, including property investment, buy-to-let and development.
How does Bridging Finance Work?
Bridging loans are normally offered over 12 months or less, although it may be possible to secure a longer loan term depending on your circumstances. They usually have much higher interest rates than mainstream mortgages.
The amount that can be borrowed depends on the lender and the homeowner's circumstances. While most lenders offer up to 70% of the property value, others will go up to 75% or even 80%. The interest rates will be determined by the loan-to-value ratio, the property type (commercial or residential) and the risk to the lender.
The typical terms for bridging finance over a 12 month period are around a 15% interest rate for the year, or 1.25% a month. Loan-to-value on commercial properties generally doesn't exceed 65% for commercial buildings and 80% for residential properties based on the market value.
The finance tends to only be accessible to those who have a high annual salary and therefore are more capable of repaying the full loan plus interest by the agreed date. As well as having high interest rates, bridging loans often have arrangement fees for admin, appraisals, notary, recording and title policies.
There are two main types of bridging loans; open and closed. A closed loan is available to homeowners who have exchanged contracts for the sale of their current property and have an arranged timescale for the loan period to end. An open loan is for homeowners who have found their ideal home but have not yet put their property on the market, and therefore have no fixed timescale for the completion of the loan.
Due to their nature, closed bridge loans are more affordable and flexible than open bridge loans. As bridging loans are an expensive way of covering a temporary credit shortage, they should only be taken out by borrowers who have a clear exit strategy.
Advantages of Bridging Finance
- Short-term solution: One of the biggest advantages of bridging finance is that it's only available over a short-term period. Whereas long-term financing products like a mortgage encourage long-term expenditure, bridging loans can be arranged from as little as one week up to 12 months.
- Credit profile: Your credit score can be significantly improved if you take out a short-term loan and make all of the repayments on time. This will help any applications you make for financing in the future, as the lower your credit score is, the less likely you are to be approved.
- Quick house sale: A bridging loan through a mortgage lender is typically completed within two weeks, whereas a residential mortgage takes on average two to three months to secure. The sale is also guaranteed, with no broken house chains or mortgage offers revoked by lenders.
- Flexible repayment: Although a closed bridging loan has a fixed repayment date, there's nothing to stop you paying back the loan before then and saving on the interest rates. If you're unable to make monthly interest payments, you can choose to pay it back at the end of the term instead.
Disadvantages of Bridging Finance
- Incredibly expensive: The main disadvantage of bridging finance is that it's very expensive. The cheapest interest rates in the lending market are generally 1.5% per month, but due to the short-term nature of the loan, the interest repayments are much higher compared to a long-term finance option.
- Compound interest: For every month a loan isn't repaid, it gathers compound interest. This means that you'll end up paying more interest in total than you would if you rolled it up, as your loan amount is increasing month-on-month.
- Credit profile: If you default on your bridging loan, your credit score will be adversely affected. A large number of loans do end up in default due to excessive interest rates and lenders being inflexible when it comes to late payments.
Is Bridge Financing Right for Me?
Bridge financing can be helpful if you're looking to remortgage quickly or you need to refurbish your home before applying for long-term finance. However, the crucial thing to remember about a loan is that it should be a last resort and only for those who are confident they will be able to repay it.
Before applying for a bridging loan, you need to make sure you have a clear exit strategy in place. When you reach the end of the term, you're expected to repay the loan in full. Failure to do so will result in your account being placed in default. Lenders will often consider several exit strategies, including:
- Sale of the primary property
- Sale of other investments
- Refinance to a longer-term mortgage
- Sale of a secondary property
- Inheritance
- Sale of shares
It's important to consider your exit strategy against the timescale you have available. It's always better to borrow for longer than you need to than to run out of time, especially as most lenders won't charge you an early repayment fee.
In Summary…
Bridge financing can be a great solution for homeowners who need quick access to credit. Deciding whether to take out a loan can be intimidating and we recommend seeking professional advice if you feel you need to. If you're looking to sell your property quickly, contact our experienced team at Good Move today for a free cash offer.

Shimmering Sunset
Willie thought it would be good to go down to the beach and watch the sunset last evening. We were not the only ones as you can tell by the sandpipers and the little boy walking down the beach. I liked the way his silhouette looked. It was a little chilly down there, but calm. There weren't many clouds out as it has been a little windy here. Isn't the shimmering gold pretty?
A gorgeous early winter sunset….
I was with Donnan at the vet yesterday and the doctor agreed that the growth (or mass as he called it) has gotten a little larger. They will do the surgery this morning. I have to have Donnan there at 8:00. I asked him what he thought it was. Of course, he would not say. However, he did say that normally dogs do not get cancer until they are 8 years old or more. Donnan will be two at the end of this month. So, we will keep our fingers crossed. By the way, Kyla loved that bone Willie gave her after we left. As soon as we got home this afternoon, Donnan took it from her. They chased each other around the yard for quite some time! She barked at him a lot! I would guess he is going to be ok!

Letter: Five bike points: "To condemn all cyclists on the behaviour of a small minority is akin to saying all motorists force me off the road, cut me up, knock me off my bike, park on cycle lanes and pollute the very air I breathe," says Mike Smith.
Letter: Come and join us: "I was disappointed with Mike Ward's article. Normally, he writes a lot of sense (being an Albion fan) but I'm afraid this wasn't funny and reinforces prejudices some people have about cyclists," writes Howie Blanks.
Letter: If cyclists are bad, car drivers are much worse: "In response to Mike Ward's rant about cyclists, 'Psychopaths on cycle paths' (The Argus, April 12), he needs to relax a bit, take a holiday, do something he enjoys for a day," says Bob Courtney.

I overwinter my plot with sections of green manure planting; some winter onions and maybe 8-10 inches deep manure/straw on the rest, there are stables nearby that drop off tons.... I've never gone deep with digging; I've done two rotations of potatoes now across the plot and that's opened the soil up after years under grass.
• #502
Been away for a week and a half on holiday, literally got home from our flight and I headed straight to the plot.
Another plot holder we get on with, kindly watered it every other day, so it's all doing well but there is so much weeding to do after only a week, I think bind weed is going to be a constant battle this year.
Currently sat in the green house waiting out the rain, probably won't need to water today!

this thread has inspired me. i'm viewing a plot on saturday morning.

Do it, its great fun.
In other news I won a poly tunnel on ebay the other day. I then collected a poly tunnel "cover". Someone (me) read the advert wrong so now I am building a frame for the poly tunnel out of wood.
• #511
Any thoughts on a good size for some raised beds? I'm thinking I'll start my first one at 3m x 1.5m based on the 3 scaffold boards I've managed to scavenge.
• #512
Width only twice the length of your arm,
unless you are going to have stepping stones to allow you to harvest
from the middle.
My first three raised beds were (almost) 6ft by 6ft,
subsequent ones only 3ft wide.
• #513
Length isn't such a big deal but as stated above you need to be able to pick the fruit and veg comfortably at arms length.
I put netting over mine to keep butterfly's off. So there are other things to consider.
• #514
Helped a mate build an awesome polytunnel basically copying this guy
Not sure how a wooden frame would work ?
Good luck with it.
Certainly made a huge difference up in Lancashire to what he could grow.
• #515
Did it. A little paralysed with what to do next. I have some rough ideas - and would like to get some garlic and onions in over winter but have accepted that I essentially have a long 'prep' time now for next spring.
Plot is basically dried grass and some brambles which have been strimmed back. Have dug out the worst of them already. Should I just rotavate the whole thing, cover it in weed membrane and then uncover and clear out as I go? The logic being that by the time I get to spring next year I won't have uncovered a lot, so should be a-ok underneath - and I only have to manage the bits I choose as I uncover?
What would my other options be?

Not too late for some late potatoes...
• #517
I've just taken a similar plot with one side a bit more cultivated than yours but still plenty of weeds and the other considerably more overgrown. My plan is to do no dig. Cover a part of the less weedy bit with cardboard and put a 3x1.5m raised bed on that. And fill with compost. Plan for the first bed is carrots and raddish. I'll then repeat this raised bed process as I get more wood and compost.
• #518
My concern is that if I leave it and just go with raised beds, I'm still going to spend all summer managing the bits I'm not using as everything grows back/through. Is it worth dealing with in one fell swoop now?
• #519
You could get potatoes, squash, pumpkins in now which would give you some return from the plot this year by late September and get fair bit of ground cover in and start breaking the soil after grass. you could green manure that section or horse manure over winter. Otherwise you're not going to be seeing much come out till june next year when your overwintered onions are coming out, which can be harder to keep interest up.
• #520
Chuck a load of cardboard under black plastic over half, will kill all the grass and leave it ready to plant next spring :)
On the rest, definitely do what @Tacheovale and @Alan_tbt suggest.
We're going to do likewise on the new half plot we have (very overgrown.) So putting in squash, kale, cabbage, leeks and a few other bits tomorrow.
Would do the whole raised bed thing next year when you're ahead.
• #521
In other news, went for the nuclear option to try and keep the deer out.
Six foot mesh screen around the whole plot.
So much work.

The House of Bair tells the story of one of the most remarkable families of the early 20th century.
The Bairs built a dynasty in the small ranching community of Martinsdale, Montana. They left behind a legacy of philanthropy and, displayed in their ranch house, a vast and invaluable collection of American and European art and antiques.
The Bairs left their home as a museum to the people of Montana---a seemingly simple request that ultimately divided friends, sparked numerous lawsuits, and made national headlines. Rostad details the fight of the community to save the ranch museum and uphold the wishes of these beloved and colorful figures in Montana's history.

As Fletcher/CSI continues to celebrate its 30th year in operation, we pause to reflect on how the past thirty years have changed the practice of CI.
This month my thoughts are about the larger CI cycles and where in the cycle we are now. This is based on having been active as a CI supplier since 1985, and running Fletcher/CSI since 1988. In that time, we have gone through three recessions (as defined by the Bureau of Economic Analysis) in 1990, 2001, and 2008.
By and large, CI weathers recessions well. The demand cycle for CI seems to follow these distinct phases:
- The recession starts. Businesses face intense competitive pressure to preserve margins in shrinking markets (the key definition of a recession is three quarters in a row of negative GDP growth). This pressure forces company leadership to pay attention to competitors and find new ways to differentiate in the market. Learning from competitors becomes very important as does locating any weakness in the competitor's market position. Companies bulk up their CI departments and place a new emphasis on CI to drive strategy and tactics.
- The recession is at its depths. Companies go into defensive posture and focus on keeping existing customers. Companies are struggling to make goals and margins are falling. Companies focus on selling product to get margin and keep customers. Attempting to maintain margins, companies start to cut staff in non-essential areas. CI (and often parts of marketing) is one of the first to be cut since it is harder to produce an ROI from CI than other more sales related activities.
- The recovery starts. As markets start to pick up, companies move from a purely defensive posture to an offensive role. Recognizing a need to identify competitors' weaknesses, companies rebuild their CI units. Early days are spent replacing outdated materials such as competitor profiles and market position papers. Staff is added on and more competitor services are added to meet growing demand for CI from all units.
- The recovery is in full swing. Markets are growing across the board and companies are meeting their financial targets. Competitive pressure is reduced by the growth of the market overall. Company leadership is comfortable with their market position and de-emphasizes the competitive forces in the market. Companies reduce the size and role of their CI departments to put resources to use supporting other initiatives.
This summary of the CI demand cycle is of course rudimentary and more general than specific, but it has been true for the past three recessions. For vendors, the main impact is that in the depths of recessions there is a flowering of new CI shops, which reflects corporate CI leaders opening consultancies as a way to stay active in the market while looking for work. The main impact of this is to drive down fees industry wide, which helps stimulate demand.
As I write this, we are looking at what may be the end of the current US growth cycle. The US stock markets have experienced several declines at a time when the overall economy is doing very well. But new technologies are on the horizon, and these technologies threaten to disrupt well-established industries across the spectrum. How that will effect CI, and where it is in the CI cycle is still to be seen, but if the past is any predictor of the future, expect to see demand for CI to grow in the short term.
–Erik Glitman, CEO, Fletcher/CSI

The Iranian Oil Bourse came into existence in February 2008, though it was planned to be launched in March 2006. This commodity exchange of Iran, which mainly carries out commodity trading of petroleum, petroleum products and currencies, is also known by the names like Iran Petroleum Exchange and Oil Bourse in Kish.
Iranian Oil Bourse was developed as a result of cooperation between the ministries of Iran and state-owned and private institutions of Iran. The Iranian Oil Bourse started to operate from 17th February; 2008.This Oil Bourse is situated at the island of Kish. For this reason, the Iranian Oil Bourse is also known as Oil Bourse in Kish.
In this commodity exchange of Iran, commodity futures trading takes place mainly for the commodities like petroleum, gas and petrochemicals. So, this Iranian Oil Bourse is also called Iran Petroleum Exchange. The Iranian Oil Bourse also carries out commodity trading of various currencies.
The currencies that are mainly traded in Iranian Oil Bourse are the non-dollar currencies like Iranian Rial and Euro. In this commodity exchange, there are no limitations on the transactions, made by the foreign shareholders.
In fact, Hossein Allahabadi, Director, Kish Stock Exchange declared this benefit, at the time of establishment of Iranian Oil Bourse.
Firstly, it was announced that, the Iranian Oil Bourse would be opened in March 2006. But, then the establishment program was delayed. But, before the establishment of the Iranian Oil Bourse, Iran succeeded to convert all the oil export earnings into non-dollar currencies. The Process through which Iranian Oil Bourse was established
In April 2005, a report by Tehran Stock Exchange informed that, Iranian Oil Bourse was going to open on 20th March 2006.
In January 2006, it was declared that the establishment of Iranian Oil Bourse would be delayed due to election.
In April 2006,the Iranian Petroleum Minister informed that the launch of Iranian Oil Bourse would take place in May 2006.
In May 2006, it was declared that Euro had not yet received the legal tender for carrying out transactions in the Iranian Oil Bourse.
In March 2007, it was informed that Iranian Embassy of Baghdad had adopted a currency shift from Dollars to Euros.
In December 2007, Iran stopped accepting US dollars for their oil exports.
On 4th February 2008, Iranian Cabinet finally approved the establishment of Iranian Oil Bourse.

Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. It typically occurs when the intraocular pressure (IOP) of the eye becomes elevated, leading to optic nerve damage and eventually, vision loss. The vision loss is usually peripheral and unnoticeable at first, which is why glaucoma is called "the silent thief of vision." Left unchecked, the vision loss can become central and symptomatic. This is usually when patients present to the doctor. Unfortunately, that vision loss is permanent. That is why routine eye exams are so important—catching glaucoma early allows us to treat it and halt any further damage. During your eye exam, we will check the IOPs, confrontational visual fields and examine the nerve. Should any of these signs be suspicious for glaucoma, extra testing of the visual fields with a Humphrey Visual Field or the optic nerve with an OCT or disc photos can be done.
The pressure of the eye is determined by how much fluid (aqueous humor) is produced and how much is drained through the angle (trabecular meshwork) of the eye. Producing more than you can drain results in a higher IOP, since the eye is not expandable like a balloon. Studies have shown that treating increased IOP has been shown to decrease the risk of nerve damage, or glaucoma.
POAG Glaucoma
If the angle of the eye appears grossly open in the setting of glaucoma, then we call it primary open-angle glaucoma. It would be the equivalent of seeing the drain of the tub, which appears able to drain, and yet is clogged deep within the pipes. It is the most common form of glaucoma and the primary cause of irreversible blindness in African Americans. Risk factors include family history, increased age, being African-American and diabetes mellitus, among other things. Treatment can include virtually all the options and include medications, selective laser trabeculoplasty, transscleral cyclophotocoagulation, iStents, Xen gel stents and Ahmed tube shunts.
Angle-Closure Glaucoma
If we see that the drain appears to be almost closed, then the person is said to have narrow angles. This would be the equivalent of seeing a bunch of debris in the drain of the tub, blocking the water from draining. This could be longstanding and result in chronic elevated IOPs or lead to a sudden, rapidly progressive, painful increase in IOP called angle-closure glaucoma.
If the lens pushes up against the iris and blocks the flow of fluid through the pupil, the angle can close abruptly and severely increase the IOP. This can be rectified by making a small hole in the peripheral iris, which can act as an escape valve. This is called a laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI).
Secondary Glaucoma
If there is a specific identifiable cause of a patient's glaucoma, then it is called secondary glaucoma. Since the causes are often very different, the treatments vary as well.
- Lens-induced glaucoma—A large cataract can either compress the angle or leak proteins that cause inflammation and increase inflammation. The main treatment for this is to do cataract surgery.
- Uveitic glaucoma—Chronic inflammation can create scarring which can effectively begin to close the angle. Sometimes an LPI is necessary but usual treatments include medications, TSCPC, Xen gel stent and Ahmed Tube shunts. SLT or iStents may be possible, if the angle is open enough.
- Traumatic Glaucoma—Previous trauma can cause changes to the angle. These changes can eventually cause increased IOP in one eye and an asymmetric glaucoma. Treatments include medications and TSCPC. SLT and iStents are not great options due to distorted anatomy and Xen gel stents and Ahmed tube shunts may not be as effective as in other conditions.
- Pigmentary Dispersion Glaucoma—If the iris is bowed, it can rub against the lens behind it and shoot off pigment that can clog up the angle. Treatments include medications, LPI, TSCPC, Xen gel stents, and Ahmed tube shunts. SLT tends to work very well for this condition.
- Pseudoexfoliation Glaucoma—Certain ethnic groups (Scandinavians and other groups in the northern latitudes) are more prone to this condition. The eye begins producing a material that deposits on the surface of the lens, in the angle and on the zonular fibers that hold the lens in place. This can cause a severe type of POAG. Medications, TSCPC, Xen gel stents, and Ahmed tube shunts are good treatments. SLT tends to work fairly well for this condition.
- Neovascular glaucoma—This type of glaucoma is caused by new blood vessels that grow in the angle. It can eventually cause a chronic angle closure glaucoma. The cause may be due to poorly controlled diabetic retinopathy, central or branch vein occlusions, among other things. The lack of oxygenated tissue causes the eye to secrete VEGF, a potent growth factor that promotes new blood vessel growth. As good as that sounds, many times the blood vessels are either fragile and bleed or grow in areas that do not benefit from the extra blood vessels. Medicine often fails as a treatment and it may require TSCPC, Xen gel stent or Ahmed tube shunt.
Glaucoma Eyedrops
Multiple medications exist. They work in different ways so they can be used together, as they work synergistically. Their mechanism of action may be to decrease fluid production, increase drainage through the angle, or increase drainage through alternative pathways. Some drops work better for patients than others. Sometimes this is a trial-and-error process. Besides some issues with cost and inconvenience, virtually all these drops tend to cause dry eyes over time. The more drops the patient is on, the more likely this is to happen.
Glaucoma Lasers
Acute angle-closure glaucoma occurs when the floppy iris pushes forward and completely closes the angle. For patients with anatomically narrow angles, it is recommended to have a hole placed in the peripheral iris to help equilibrate the IOP on either side of the iris. This keeps the iris pushed back and angle open. Laser can be used to make this hole (laser peripheral iridotomy), making this a quick procedure done in the office. Most patients go back to normal activity that day.
If a patient has POAG or a secondary glaucoma with open angle (e.g. pigmentary glaucoma or pseudoexfoliation glaucoma), laser trabeculoplasty can be an excellent option. The old procedure involved making permanent spots to the angle and could not be repeated. The new version of the procedure, selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) causes no permanent injury to the eye. Instead energy is used to promote drainage in the angle. This result usually wears off after a few years and can be repeated up to three times. Usually, we can get a decrease in IOP the equivalent of one medication and are successful with this approximately 2/3 of the time. This is a quick procedure done in-office. Patients may experience some temporary blurry vision but are able to resume normal activity that day.
Micropulse Transscleral cyclophotocoagulation involves using a laser to heat up the ciliary body, the cells that produce fluid in the front part of the eye. The laser passes through the white sclera of the eye and absorbs in the ciliary body due to its being pigmented. With decreased fluid production, the IOP should drop accordingly. It does not cause permanent injury to the eye when used at lower power settings and can be repeated multiple times. It can be used for virtually all types of glaucoma. The effects could last 3-12 months, but repeated treatments are expected. This procedure only takes a few minutes but is done in an outpatient same-day surgery center due to the need for anesthesia.
Glaucoma Surgery
During cataract surgery, we can get patients more "drop-free" by adding on a simple 5-10 minute procedure called the iStent. This is a great option for patients on 1-2 glaucoma medications with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma. Patients can experience some mild blurry vision for a day or two but the postoperative course is identical to cataract surgery without the iStent. This is done in the same-day outpatient surgery center.
Xen Gel Stent
For patients with moderate and severe glaucoma, the Xen gel stent can either be inserted from within the eye or externally. It can be done in conjunction with cataract surgery or as a standalone procedure in the surgery center. Essentially a tiny tube is placed in the eye allowing any extra fluid to be externally drained. This fluid eventually passes behind the eye and is absorbed the veins there. This is an extremely quick procedure that has a quick recovery time, though the IOP drop can be quite significant!
Ahmed tube shunt
We also reserve this for patients with moderate and severe glaucoma. There are more sutures and the recovery time is a little longer than for the other procedures. It can give quite a robust drop in IOP, even for tough neovascular glaucoma cases. This can be done with cataract surgery, or as a standalone procedure. We tend to do the Xen gel stent more frequently these days, since it is more minimally invasive, but if there is a concern about the pressure dropping too much, this is a great option as there is a valve which restricts too much fluid from draining out of the eye.

Funnel cakes, carnival rides and the children's jump tower can only mean one thing; it's time for the 22nd Annual Children's Fest! The fest will open at the Fort Bragg Fairgrounds on April 26. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Admission is $8 for access to carnival rides and prize drawings; adults and children under 36" are free. The event is open to the public.
The first 500 children to attend will receive a free T-shirt.
The Fort Bragg Fairgrounds are located off Bragg Boulevard across from Stryker Golf Course. Admission through a checkpoint is not required.
Attendees will enjoy children's carnival rides, a children's jump tower, climbing wall, face painting, as well as Pallabar the Clown and the Fort Bragg Fire Engine. Activities are planned throughout the day for children of all ages.
A large tented area with various toddler-friendly activities appropriately named, Toddlerville, will also be available for the young festival attendees. "Activities in the Toddlerville tent will give parents a unique opportunity to get involved in their children's world for a day and experience some of the activities the children do while attending their Child Development Center during the week. Children will have the chance to show their parents how to play and have fun," said Dorene Jenkins, Fort Bragg Child Youth and School Services outreach director.
Food vendors will be on hand with everything from hot dogs to funnel cakes. Drawings for prizes will take place throughout the day.
The Month of the Military Child was created in 1986 by former Defense Secretary Casper Weinberger to highlight the importance children play in the Armed Forces community. From deployments to new schools, military children face unique challenges that civilian children their age do not. The recognition of this month is meant to celebrate the resilience and strength of military children in dealing with these difficult aspects of military life.
Event Coordinator Gudrun Blackmon says, "For the past 21 years, Fort Bragg Child, Youth and School Services (has culminated April's activities with the Children's Fest. Historically, 3,000-3,500 people attend. In addition to age-appropriate carnival rides, the most popular activities have been the Kiddie Jump Tower and military static displays."
On Tuesday, April 15,people were asked to wear purple in support and appreciation of military children. Purple is the color that represents all branches of the military, as it is the combination of Army green, Coast Guard blue, Air Force blue and Marine red and navy blue.
Blackmon says, "The event would not be as successful as it always is without the unselfish support and assistance of the Fort Bragg Special Events Team, the Family, Morale, Welfare and Recreation Marketing Team, the outstanding sponsors in the Fort Bragg and Fayetteville area and most of all, the outstanding support from our Soldiers.
For more information about Children's Fest, please call 910-396-8110 or 910-396-5128.


text: The BladeRunners first formed in 2005 as the brainchild of DJ 7L and Steve "The RaZor" Picardi. The initial collaboration was basically for 7L to just make a cool mega mix using all kinds of music and for Steve "The RaZor" to be fed some dope sounds to chop and edit. Once the mix made it's way around, interest started coming in from DJ's wanting full versions of these edits to play out. Of these DJ's, Stretch Armstrong was most influential in wanting tracks, specifically the BladeRunners re-work of Madonna "Physical Attraction", or "Physical Edits" as it became known. From there other people caught on such as DJ AM, The Rub, DJ Z-Trip, Kenny Dope, The Crooklyn Clan, DJ Vice etc. and were all playing the edits which led to the release of The BladeRunners first 12″ that combined The RaZor edits alongside 7L production. Around the same time 7L and long time collaborator DJ Beyonder were working on Remixes/Edits of their own to play when DJing out. It was during these sessions that led to future BladeRunner track "This is Not a Love Song" that turns the classic Public Image Limited single of the same title, into what TURNTABLE LAB called a 'Daft Punk inspired dance track'. From here on, DJ Beyonder came into the BladeRunner fold, and the three have been cranking out a fairly diverse musical catalog. Whether it's reworking dance floor staples such as Stardust 'Music Sounds Better' or the cut n paste style on their MC Shan "Bridge" remix, 80's gem "Didn't Mean to Turn You on" (Cherelle), to the classic B Boy anthem "Champ", the BladeRunners stay consistent in tackling different genres of music while always putting their stamp on it and giving it that different edge.

Netflix is home to numerous sorts of substance. From genuine wrongdoing docu-arrangement to cherished comedies to spine chillers that make watchers' blood run cool and their minds conjure up beasts stowing away around each corner, the streamer's index is huge and shifted. No motion picture is excessively little, no arrangement too specialty — Netflix is a moderately sheltered place for all tasks, even the disagreeable ones. For every Making A Murderer, Stranger Things, and Queer Eye, there's an Insatiable, The Cloverfield Paradox, and The Kissing Booth. This is to state that good and awful substance is welcome on Netflix – but one film was evidently so dreadful that the organization turned down an offer to get it from a noteworthy film studio.
As indicated by an ongoing story distributed by Deadline, Sony purportedly endeavored to move the Will Ferrell, and John C. Reilly comedy Holmes and Watson to Netflix after the studio discovered that test scores for the film were — how would we put this pleasantly? — not exactly extraordinary.
Most likely terrified at realizing they had a genuine stinker sitting in their docket, Sony administrators figured they could offload Holmes and Watson onto the spilling stage. Sadly, Netflix "wouldn't get it." The streamer clearly didn't need anything to do with the film, of which Sony wound up moving down its offer, and Mimran Schur Pictures ended up going into with a minority stake.
The Wrap film faultfinder Alonso Duralde corroborated Deadline's report, tweeting on Thursday, "Netflix, which purchased The Cloverfield Paradox from Paramount, purportedly turned down the chance to buy the inadequately testing #HolmesAndWatson from Sony."
It's conceivable that Netflix's choice not to pick up Holmes and Watson was fiscally roused since the Etan Cohen-coordinated satire pic cost an announced $42 million to make. However, that is entirely impossible when it's all said and done. The streamer hasn't had an issue purchasing venture with substantial sticker prices previously, having obtained dispersion rights to Paramount's The Cloverfield Paradox and Warner Bros.' Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle. Unexpectedly, the two motion pictures wound up slumping when they hit Netflix. It says a great deal that the organization, which previously gathered up two first-class disappointments from film studios this year, passed on Holmes and Watson.
Be that as it may, it's not hard to comprehend why.
Holmes and Watson, a satire film that highlights Ferrell as investigator Sherlock Holmes and Reilly as his collaborator Dr. John Watson, has started walk-outs and spurred lacerating audits from pundits. Moviegoers have requested discounts for the expense of their tickets and commentators have hammered the film as "so agonizingly unfunny we don't know it can lawfully be known as a parody." Heck, the film even wound up without anyone else rundown of the most exceedingly terrible motion pictures of 2018 after we found out about the mid-screening slip-aways and brutal basic and gathering of people reaction.
All around, it sounds like Holmes and Watson is monstrous wreckage. We can't order it as a trainwreck or a pileup, however, as watchers didn't have an issue turning away from it. What's more, clearly, Netflix didn't either.
