Fathers' Day was a spectacular day here at Upton, with a lovely atmosphere and hundreds of visitors! With Warwick Univeristy playing on the lawn, and plenty of Triumphs parked down the drive it was a great day.
Our Restaurant was also very busy, and for Fathers' Day they baked a special Chocolate Guinness cake! It was very popular, and we thought we would share the recipe with you:
For the cake:
250 ml Guinness
250 grams unsalted butter
75 grams cocoa powder
400 grams caster sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
275 grams plain flour
For the topping:
300 grams cream cheese
150 grams icing sugar
125 ml double cream
- Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 4/180C/350F, and butter and line a nine inch tin.
- Pour the Guinness into a large wide saucepan, add the butter, and heat until the butter has melted. Whisk in cocoa powder and sugar. Beat the sour cream with the eggs and vanilla and pour into the pan. Finally whisk in the flour and bicarbonate of soda.
- Pour the cake mixture into the greased and lined tin and bake for 45 minutes to an hour. Allow to cool in the tin on a cooling rack.
- When the cake has cooled, transfer to a cake plate. Lightly whip the cream cheese until smooth, add sieved icing sugar and beat together. Add the cream and beat again to a spreading consistency.
- Ice the top of the cake, and there you have it; delicious Guinness chocolate cake.


text: Rick Jamison - September 23, 2010 Your Best Bolt Action Our Rifle Editor tells you what key features to consider when choosing the bolt gun that's right for you. By Rick Jamison Three different locking lug setups are Weatherby's bolt with nine small locking lugs in three banks of three (L), Remington's Model 700 bolt with two opposing lugs (C), and Browning's A-Bolt with three locking lugs (R).To learn more about these and other firearms, check out the GalleryofGuns.com website brought to you by Davidson's and Shooting Times. You can read gun reviews, search thousands of firearms, view photos with specifications, learn about firearms safety, keep up to date on the latest firearms news, and locate local retailers. You can even arrange to purchase through a local retailer.One of the questions I am most frequently asked is: "Which bolt-action rifle is best?" The inquiry nearly always comes from someone intending to buy a hunting rifle, not a competition target rifle. My usual response is that, for the price, all the popular and current American-made actions are good. A shooter can simply pick one he likes and go with it without going wrong. That might sound like a cop-out, but it's true. At the same time, however, there is more to the story. While they all function well and reliably, they are far from all the same. They are designed differently, and it is these design features that may hold the key to finding the rifle that is right for you. On the surface a bolt action appears to be basically simple. But when one examines all the different aspects of what it takes for a fully functioning system, the actions are not simple. Some of the designs and innovations that solve the same problems are what separate the makes. Most of these design features aren't of interest to the average shooter. What is important is how the rifle feels, handles, and functions in your hands. Again, the key is to look at firearms from the standpoint of what suits you best. To help you decide what's best for you, let's look at the key features of what I consider to be the top six popular bolt actions. Locking Lug Design For example, all the popular bolt actions feature locking lugs situated near the front of the bolt. Most have two opposing lugs (Remington Model 700, Ruger Model 77 Mark II, Savage Model 110 Series, Winchester Model 70), but the Browning A-Bolt has three and the Weatherby Mark V has three banks of three for a total of nine locking lugs. What this means to the shooter is that two opposing lugs make for a 90-degree bolt lift. Three lugs, or banks of three, make for a shorter 60-degree bolt lift. If you want a shorter arc in bolt lifting, go with the Browning A-Bolt or the Weatherby Mark V.Since the camming distance is shorter with the shorter lift, some have suggested that something is sacrificed--that the bolt is probably more difficult to lift, the spring is weaker, perhaps, or that the striker falls a shorter distance. In reality, the mainspring is quite long and is compressed a relatively small percentage during bolt lift. What you will find is that the Weatherby and Browning actions both open with normal to light resistance. When it comes to sporting rifles, the user has little concern about how a manufacturer achieves the final product. What is important to the shooter is how the rifle feels during operation. Again, all the modern actions function well and reliably enough for sporting purposes. Ejector types include the plunger ejector in a Remington Model 700 boltface (L) and the standing ejector in a Winchester Model 70 boltface (R).The real answer is to go to a gun shop and try the bolt function of the different designs to see which one feels right to you. A shop owner might not want you working the bolts on new guns just for testing, but there should be no problem in working the bolts of used guns. For some, the short 60-degree lift just doesn't feel quite right. Others will appreciate the shorter and potentially quicker bolt throw. There has been a lot of controversy about multiple lugs. It is said that not all of them can be made to bear evenly in a production gun. Today's machinery is pretty good, and it is in the interest of the manufacturer to make the strongest rifle possible in accordance with the design. The average shooter doesn't know whether all the lugs bear or not. If this is an issue for you, the answer is to purchase only an action, then have the lugs lapped by a good gunsmith before fitting and chambering a new barrel. (And if you desire that much precision, you would probably want to have a number of other aspects of the rifle altered as well.)Production manufacturing of popular rifles is designed to keep costs down while offering a serviceable product, and again, for the price you pay, popular rifles offer a lot. As for my own hunting guns, I don't worry about lug bearing and action machining unless I re-barrel. Off-the-shelf rifles shoot okay for hunting purposes, and the actions are plenty strong. This is really the crux of the issue.When you are testing different actions you'll notice that Browning, Remington, Ruger, Savage, and Winchester rifles have the same diameter bolt body (around .690 inch). The exception is the Weatherby with a bolt diameter of about .839 inch. In the Weatherby, each lug is small and is machined within the large bolt body whereas in the two-lug bolt rifles mentioned the lugs project outward from the bolt body. You will also notice that the Weatherby action is exceptionally smooth.Safety Location & Operation Insofar as the feel of the rifle, aside from bolt operation, the safety location and operation are perhaps the next most important features on any rifle.Four different types of extractors include (L-R) circular spring in the boltface of a Remington Model 700, simulated claw in a Model 70 Winchester, a laterally sliding extractor from a Savage, and a pivoting hook from a Weatherby Mark V.Another aspect of the safety is what it blocks. You might want a safety that is functional even though the bolt handle is not blocked. Some shooters desire this feature so that rounds can be cycled through the action with the safety engaged. If you want this feature, be sure that the rifle offers it--for example, the Winchester Model 70, Ruger Model 77 Mark II, Savage 110 Series, or the right Remington Model 700. On the Remington 700, some rifles have it and some do not. On some Remington models, depressing the safetylever straight down unlocks or locks the bolt. It is an added feature on the safety.Extractors & Ejectors While much as been made of extractors and ejectors, they all work well. If you're a controlled-round-feed aficionado, go with the Winchester Model 70 with controlled-round feed or the Ruger 77 Mark II. The rest of the six rifles mentioned have the push-feed feature. A controlled-round feed means the cartridge is grasped by the bolt (claw-type extractor) immediately when the bolt pushes it forward and the round exits the magazine box. In the push-feed design, the round is free to move about after it exits the magazine and before it enters the barrel.As for ejectors, a plunger ejector places constant spring pressure on one side of the base of the cartridge. As the cartridge is withdrawn from the action, the mouth of the case drags on the barrel and receiver ring until it is flipped out the ejection port. It is ejected with the same force regardless how the bolt is withdrawn.A standing ejector places no pressure on the cartridge. In fact, the ejector is not even in contact with the cartridge case until the bolt is pulled to the rear and the ejector extends past the boltface to flip the case out of the action. With a standing ejector, the speed and force of bolt operation control how the round is ejected. Pull the bolt back slowly and the empty case can easily be grabbed for handloading. Pull the bolt back quicker and the empty is flung a short distance. Pull the bolt back sharply with a lot of force and the empty is flung farther away. Some shooters desire this latter feature for the control it provides. If you want it, make certain the rifle you purchase has it. The Model 70 Winchester with controlled-round feed and the Ruger Model 77 Mark II have this (standing ejector) feature.One other thing on ejectors: When it comes to very big cartridges with heavy bullets designed for African game, standing ejectors can be deformed by continually flinging the bolt open with a loaded round. The force of the round with the weight of the bullet constantly batters a standing ejector. Some shooters intending to go to Africa practice rapid bolt operation using dummy rounds that have bullets but no powder or primer. This practice can destroy a standing ejector. While the controlled-feed Model 70 Winchester is often a rifle of choice for African hunting, this same rifle is susceptible to extractor battering and deforming (bending in the middle). It is no problem during normal use because the cartridge is usually fired prior to ejection, and an empty round does not have the same battering effect.Hopefully, this article will help you make a more informed choice. But remember: You aren't limited to just one!A plunger ejector is just as prone to problems. I have had plunger ejectors become jammed inside the boltface under adverse conditions, but again, this is not a normal occurrence and seldom happens.Triggers Many rifles have adjustable triggers, but not all do. Some factory triggers can be replaced by aftermarket triggers, but aftermarket triggers are not available for all models. If you want an adjustable trigger, be sure the rifle you purchase has it. I've included a chart to indicate the features of six of the most popular rifles discussed here.The Weatherby Mark V has a bolt stop that operates in conjunction with the trigger lever. As with plunger ejectors, this bolt stop can become jammed inside the receiver under adverse conditions. The result is that the bolt is pulled clear out of the action when the action is opened. Or, open the Weatherby Mark V action and point the muzzle skyward. Press the trigger and the bolt falls out onto the floor if you don't catch it. On the other hand, it is very easy to remove a bolt from the Weatherby because squeezing the trigger releases the bolt from the action.Removing a bolt from a Savage is not quite so easy. You have to depress a lever at the right side of the receiver bridge while at the same time press the trigger and then withdraw the bolt from the action. You can do it with two hands pretty well once you learn how, but when you're learning how you'll wish you had three hands.The Savage rifle has threads extending forward of the receiver. There is no shoulder on the barrel to jam up against the receiver face. Instead, a large lock nut threads on the outside of the barrel to jam against the receiver face and secure the barrel.This discussion is not intended to dissuade you from any particular action type. While the Weatherby has the trigger/bolt stop combination, it has a short 60-degree bolt lift and is also perhaps the smoothest action going. While the Savage has the bolt stop manipulation situation mentioned, it is also known to be one of the most consistently accurate rifles. The point is that each rifle has a variety of features. Some you might like and some you might not like. If you find a rifle that has all the features you like and none you don't like, you're easier to please than most shooters.Special But Basic Features As for some basic features that are special, the Ruger Model 77 Mark II has integral scope mount bases. Ruger even makes the rings for its rifles. Other rifles require aftermarket scope rings and bases. The Ruger rifle also has a forward action screw that enters the recoil lug at a 60-degree angle from the rear. These features are not found on the other five popular bolt guns mentioned.The Savage has an unusual barrel attachment feature. While the receiver is threaded in a normal manner, the barrel has threads extending forward of the receiver. There is no shoulder on the barrel that serves as a stop against the face of the receiver. Instead, the barrel is turned into the receiver until the chamber headspaces properly and then a nut is turned down on these exterior barrel threads against the washer-like recoil lug at the face of the receiver.The main rear action screw of the Savage also enters the receiver under the bridge instead of back at the tang. And the Savage has what appears to be a secondary set of action locking lugs. In reality, they remain blocking the lug raceways when the primary lugs are locked and serve as gas baffles in the event of a ruptured cartridge case.Another feature of the Savage is that the action lugs are a piece separate from the main part of the bolt body. The Browning A-Bolt has a similar setup in this regard. The A-Bolt also has a box magazine that can be detached from the floorplate when the latter is opened. Inside the magazine box is a unique scissors-type cartridge elevator that puts even pressure on both the front and rear of the cartridge as it rises out of the box. The A-Bolt also has an unusually shaped bolt knob. Some shooters love it and others hate it. Again, personal preference plays an important part in action selection.These are just some of the different designs of the basic actions. All of the rifles mentioned are offered with a variety of different features. You can get a standard weight rifle, heavy barrel, ultra lightweight model, stainless steel or blued, synthetic stocks or wood in such different versions as Classic, Mountain, Coyote, Safari, etc. The purpose of this article is not to get into all the variations but to focus on the main features of the basic actions of six popular rifle models.All the basic models have been around a long while and have withstood the test of time. They really are all good choices, and the accompanying chart summarizes some of the differences in each. Use the chart to see what each rifle offers. Then handle the rifles. (Note: Before handling any rifle, check to make certain that it is not loaded; that there is no ammunition in either the chamber or magazine.) With the owner's permission, shoulder the rifle, work the bolt, and operate the safety. In general, determine how the rifle feels and operates. Do this with as many different models as you're thinking about. Use your judgment about the way it looks. Because all the models mentioned are good choices, this should be a primary focus of which one you purchase.

So I'm continuing to attempt to set up a Network Drive that will write to a Linux box in the sky.
I made the NTLM change suggested by this question, but I still can't understand a few things to do with the original question.
1) The first is, __what does using
\\127.0.0.1\ as the network folder mean? If I set up the port 139 forward to tunnel to port 22 on an SSH connection, that means the network drive should "point to the SSH connection", is that right?
2) So assuming that PuTTY maintains the SSH connection, and the Windows Network Drive is mapped to that SSH connection, what can the network drive do with that connection? Are file reads and writes going to be automatically converted to
wget or something?

Initial ELPAC Test Administration
See the How to Complete the Initial ELPAC Process quick reference guide for instructions on the process that is started upon a student's first enrollment in a California public school.
Initial ELPAC Test Materials
Local educational agencies (LEAs) will order testing materials through the Test Operations Management System (TOMS). Orders can be placed during the following ordering windows:
2019–20 Initial ELPAC Test Material Orders
Orders for 2019–20 test materials can be placed during the following ordering windows:
|Type of test material order
|Ordering Window Opens
|Ordering Window Closes
|Earliest Delivery Date
|Latest Delivery Date
|Primary Test Material Order
|April 8, 2019
|May 10, 2019
|May 9, 2019
|June 3, 2019
|Supplemental Test Material Order
|May 13, 2019
|June 12, 2020
|June 14, 2019
|June 26, 2020
LEAs should place their orders as soon as possible. Once a primary order has been placed, LEAs must wait for the Supplemental Ordering window to order additional test materials. Note: The Supplemental Ordering window is for special test versions and small quantities of additional materials, and should not be used to place an LEA's primary order.
Supplemental orders can be placed by LEAs online via TOMS or by calling CalTAC at 800-955-2954. This applies to both standard and nonstandard test materials. Orders can be made once a month from June to June and will be delivered 10 business days from the date they are placed.
For the primary test material order, an additional 10 percent of materials is allocated as overage. Orders placed in TOMS will be compared to the LEA's historical testing counts for the Initial ELPAC Assessment (IA). If the difference for any order is 10 greater than the order for the administration of the previous year, TOMS will display a warning message indicating the quantity may be excessive. However, TOMS will not prevent processing of any orders exceeding the 10 percent threshold.
There will be no charge for Initial ELPAC excessive material orders.
Initial ELPAC Pre-ID Labels
Pre-identification (Pre-ID) labels aren't available for the Initial ELPAC Assessment, except for the 10 percent of LEAs participating in the Rotating Score Validation Process (RSVP), as determined by the California Department of Education. Participating LEAs do not need to request or order these Pre-ID labels. Those participating in the sampling plan will receive labels to return scorable materials once scores are entered in the Local Scoring Tool (LST).
Local Scoring Tool
Examiners will score the operational assessments locally and use the LST to input raw hand scored results.
- The LST will be accessible to LEAs via a password-protected secure web site.
- The LST will be implemented for Initial ELPAC test administration during the entire school year, excluding scheduled system downtimes.
- Entry of scores will only be allowed for students included in the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System/TOMS who have an English Language Acquisition Status (ELAS) of "to be determined" (TBD) and where their primary language is a language other than English. This is necessary for student data retrieval and validation.
- Through the LST, LEAs can enter, save, and print individual Student Score Reports (SSRs).
- The LST will have the ability to attach a configurable and customizable parent letter in a Microsoft Word template that the user can download and modify to send to parents/guardians.
- SSRs will be provided in Spanish and English for those students whose primary language is Spanish. All other students will only receive an SSR in English. The CDE is currently working to provide language templates in additional languages for LEAs to use.

Rotating Score Validation Process
Approximately 10 percent of LEAs in California have been identified by the California Department of Education (CDE) to take part in the RSVP for the Initial ELPAC. These identified LEAs will return their scannable Answer Books to the testing contractor Educational Testing Service (ETS) after local scoring, data entry of scores in the LST and parent notification of the results have been completed. This process will help to produce item statistics for the Initial ELPAC, validate scores, and provide technical assistance for scoring.
The alphabetical lists of LEAs randomly selected to participate in RSVP for the school year 2019–20 is posted on the RSVP web page.

Joeseph's Law and Improving Childcare Safety in Virginia
Author: P. Christopher Guedri, Richmond, VA Personal Injury Attorney
Placing a child in day care is a necessary option for many working parents in Virginia. These parents expect that their child will receive the proper attention and care they require while being kept in a safe environment. However, there are a number of risks and safety concerns involved with this practice that parents should consider.
One of the biggest threats to a child's safety while in a care center is the lack of proper attention, usually due to the supervisor trying to watch over too many children at once. In some cases, children have died while being watched with as few as eight other children. Perhaps the most worrisome part of all is that the parents…Read more

Bobblybear's Book List - 2018
Alexi replied to bobblybear's topic in Past Book LogsHi BB! I haven't written a review since March so no way I can catch up either Ah well! Nice to see your belated book log and you've been reading an interesting selection. How was Nothing to Envy? I have it on my pile and have no conception at all about how it will go. Ominous that you also (as well as Willoyd) abandoned The Pilgrim - reckon I might leave that one languishing on the shelf a little longer...
Your Book Activity - July 2018
Alexi replied to Onion Budgie's topic in Past Book LogsI have not been around much recently... but still reading! I'm just cracking open 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami. It is one of my Round Robin Challenge books and given I have 12 out of 18 still to go, I better get going
Your Book Activity - June 2018
Alexi replied to frankie's topic in Past Book LogsOh dear! I was planning to read as part of the Round Robin challenge - let's hope I have better luck with it and your luck turns rapidly!
It sounds really interesting Janet. Like you, I loved Rebecca (definitely on the favourites list!) so will look out for this too.
You've had a good month Some very interesting reviews too, and have added both The Shell Seekers and Battle Cry of Freedom to the old wishlist
Your Book Activity - May 2018
Alexi replied to Athena's topic in Past Book LogsI'm a third of the way through The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett - so close to 400 pages in I owe you (half?) an apology @Madeleine for picking this as your round robin challenge book - it's over 1000 pages! But if it helps, I'm really enjoying it...
Great reviews Janet - you've been powering through them Jane Eyre is on my list this year (Round Robin challenge) so I shall definitely attempt A Wide Sargasso Sea after that following your review.
Hi Willoyd, I find these stats really interesting I too seem to have found myself reading bigger books this year - two 650 pagers done already and three more in the pipeline. Good to see your quality is also high as well as page count! Your focus us on non fiction is also encouraging me to pick up more from my own shelves and all your recently acquired sound intriguing!
Your Book Activity - April 2018
Alexi replied to chesilbeach's topic in Past Book LogsI'm halfway through another of my round robin challenge books (fifth to date) - Station Eleven by Emily St John Mandel and it's entering unputdownable territory. I was most irate to get to work this morning and have to put it away
Wow Janet, what a terrible time you've had Glad to read you are on the mend and hope you are back to something resembling 100% very soon. I rrad Noel Streatfeild's books as a child and I was only thinking about a possible reread of them last week. The autobiography sounds great - like you I love social history - so I must look out for that one. I am also impatiently waiting for the fourth Strike! The BBC adaptations have not made the wait easier
Your Book Activity - March 2018
Alexi replied to Athena's topic in Past Book LogsThis is brilliant, and an idea I am definitely stealing when I next go for highlights
Thanks Athena! I find I arrive at work much more relaxed after a period of reading rather than battling idiots on the motorway. Thanks Madeleine! I hope you enjoy them when your TBR allows you to
Janet's *very* long-term Around the World challenge
Alexi replied to Janet's topic in Reading ChallengesI read that one for South Korea as well. I can remember absolutely nothing about it at all (!) so I went and had a look. According to my world challenge thread: "a plodder but well written and thought provoking". Well clearly not that thought provoking given I can remember no thoughts at all! Plodder sounds more like it.
Heresy by S J Parris Synopsis: Giordano Bruno was a monk, poet, scientist, and magician on the run from the Roman Inquisition on charges of heresy for his belief that the Earth orbits the sun and that the universe is infinite. This alone could have got him burned at the stake, but he was also a student of occult philosophies and magic. In S.J. Parris's gripping novel, Bruno's pursuit of this rare knowledge brings him to London, where he is unexpectedly recruited by Queen Elizabeth I and is sent undercover to Oxford University on the pretext of a royal visitation. Officially Bruno is to take part in a debate on the Copernican theory of the universe; unofficially, he is to find out whatever he can about a Catholic plot to overthrow the queen. His mission is dramatically thrown off course by a series of grisly murders and a spirited and beautiful young woman. As Bruno begins to discover a pattern in these killings, he realizes that no one at Oxford is who he seems to be. Bruno must attempt to outwit a killer who appears obsessed with the boundary between truth and heresy. (From Goodreads) Thoughts: This was my second book for the Round Robin Challenge and a great pick - this (and the sequel!) has been sat on my bookshelf for years. Our hero, Bruno, actually did exist, and his journey from Italy to Oxford fleeing persecution is one of the more interesting aspects of the story. I don't know a good deal about continental Europe in this period so I can't speak to the accuracy of how Bruno is portrayed, but this historical novel is written in a very modern style and clearly designed to give the gore modern readers have come to expect from these types of novels. However, It is rather slow in places and there is a lot of religion involved (as to be expected, given he is visiting religious college in Oxford). The murders don't start til quite a way in, but I actually found the scene setting one of the more interesting parts of the book. The dinner conversations revealing the thoughts (and ignorance) of the era were very well done. In fact, the murder-solving is the less interesting part for me, with the context and tensions between Catholics and Protestants the really interesting thread. However, solve the mystery Bruno does (of course) and it's a satisfying enough ending. I am intrigued enough to read the second in this series and see how amateur detective Bruno gets on. 3.5/5
Well, my plan to keep this better updated is not going well so far Thank you for all your comments, interesting to read thoughts on Stephen King especially. I came to him via 11.22.63, because I am fascinated by American history and love books on time travel - which is a bit weird because I hate most traditional sci-fi and fantasy novels! I absolutely loved that and as a result tried some of his others, even though like Janet I am not a big fan of horror. I really enjoyed The Shining and Different Seasons is very interesting. It's a collection of four novellas - including Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption and The Body (made into the movie Stand By Me). Only one of those is really crime ridden, although that one is a bit disturbing! I intend to read The Stand at some point... I am six books behind in terms of reviews, although I think only four will actually end up getting full reviews. I think the weekly reading reviews are definitely the way to go! In life related news, I start a new job next week. It's in the city centre, which means I am back on the train rather than driving. I've really missed that 30 minute each way read before work. It's been two and a half years of driving and I am ready to kiss that goodbye. More reading time is always good!

I was slow out of the blocks when it came around to checking out Brooklyn band, 'Real Estate'. Their second album 'Days' instantly became a regular listen when I stumbled across them in 2012, with tracks 'Green Isles' & 'All The Same' on repeat for months. They really are the best thing since sliced bread, apart from sliced bread's a bit shit isn't it? How about a sliced cinnamon bagel with lashings of salted Lurpak, oh you little sweet yet savoury delight you!!!
The long and short of it is I'm raving about this band and 'Days' features some of the most beautiful strings on any album I've heard. It's a gem of a record.
Real Estate we're formed in 2008 by singer/guitarist Martin Courtney, guitarist Matt Mondanile, bassist Alex Bleeker and drummer Etienne Pierre Duguay. Their first self-titled album received big props from critics in the US and despite a few changes in personnel along the way the band went onto produce superb second album Days on Domino Recordings, released in October 2011.
Their third studio album 'Atlas' got its UK release (also on Domino) this week and I must say it's a little ball of lushness. It's another great record, but is it as strong as 'Days'. I'm not so sure. I'm giving the Atlas yet another listen as I'm writing this and the final track off the album 'Navigator' is something else.
Along with 'Navigator', I'm leaning towards opener 'Had to Hear' and recent single release 'Talking Backwards' as my vote for the strongest tracks on the album. 'Had to Hear' in particular picks up where 'Days' left off with those brilliant jangle, folky rock strings that we've come to associate with the band. To return with an album as credible as 'Days', was always going to be a tall order, but hats off to these talented chaps, I reckon with they might just have pulled it off.
You can download 'Atlas' at iTunes now, let us know what you reckon to it?
Real Estate have scheduled dates in UK & Europe over the Summer, check them out here

Died on Sunday near to Salisbury from pneumonia
Age 22
Newspaper Report:
Private James Clark of the Australian Infantry, who was born at Haslingden, died on Saunday near Salisbury from pneumonia following influenza.
Only 22 years of age, deceased was a grandson of the late Mr. James Clark, who was at one time a member of the old Haslingden Local Board, and was a prominent Freemason; and was the eldest son of Mr. David S. Clark, who was mater plumber at Blackburn Road (at the shop now occupied by Mr. W.F. Thacker), and who went, with his family to Tasmania seven years ago. The father at present holds an important Government position in Tasmania as a sanitary inspector of soldiers camps. Prior to the outbreak of war Private Clark, now deceased, was learning the business of plumbing, but afterwards went into fruit farming.
He enlisted immediately upon the outbreak of war and trained in Egypt and in England. After serving in France and being wounded it seemed likely that he would be sent back to France, but he again went to France, and he was serving there after the Armistice had been concluded. He had been on furlough at Haslingden four times, and had become well known in the town. Though British- born he was a typical Colonial soldier. He was last in Haslingden five weeks ago. He was waiting for a boat home when he took influenza. Two of his aunts are Mrs. Vass, 19 Wells Street, and Mrs. Heap, 9 Salisbury Street. The body was brought to the house of the latter for the internment, which took place yesterday (Friday) afternoon in the family vault in the old Congregational graveyard at Haslingden.

Digital marketing is considered to be the umbrella term for the endorsement of services or products by using the digital technologies mainly on the Internet. It differs from the conventional marketing as it involves the use of methods and channels which facilitate a company to scrutinize marketing campaigns as well as understand what is working as well as what isn't –usually in real time.
Digital marketers monitor diverse things like what is being viewed, for how long and how often, the sales conversion, what contents work and what does not and many more. While the Internet is the most effective channel to associate with digital marketing, others include mobile apps, mobile instant messaging, wireless text messaging, podcasts, digital television, electronic billboards, and radio channels as well.
Digital marketing is not only a rapidly growing force in the current market, but also set to be the future of marketing, and it seems that it will soon replace the traditional marketing altogether. The reasons for which the current entrepreneurs prefer digital marketing are:
The bottom line is, the digital marketing is reigning the market and to adapt the new marketing climate, the entrepreneurs choosing it for strengthening their position in the market.
The Proliferation of digital channels: Customers use different digital channels as well as a great variety of devices which use diverse protocols, interfaces, and specifications- and they interact with the devices in diverse ways as well as for different purposes.
Intensifying competition: Compared to the traditional media, digital channels are cheap and for this, every marketer is choosing it for promoting their products. As a result, it might be difficult to capture the attention of the consumers.
Exploding data volumes: Customers leave behind a wide trail of data in the digital channels. Now, it is extremely difficult to get a handle on all the data and find the right data within exploding data volumes which can help you to make the right decision.

Bone Grafting Barrie, ON
Many people think of their bones as hard structures that never change. However, the bone is always changing. New bone cells are constantly being made as old ones are being removed. This includes the bones that provide support for your teeth. If bone mass is destroyed or lost, it can compromise the stability of your teeth and compromise the shape of your face. Missing bone can also affect what types of dental treatments you can receive, including Dental Implants. At Huronia Oral Surgery Group, we can restore the strength of your jawbone with bone grafting.
What Can Cause Bone Loss?
Bone loss can often occur because of advanced gum disease, also called advanced periodontitis. In the later stages of gum disease, bacteria begin attacking your jawbone, breaking it down. They also attack the ligaments that help to hold your teeth in place. Because of this, your teeth lose attachment and become loose. They may fall out on their own. In cases of significant attachment loss, they may need to be extracted.
Bone loss can also occur because of tooth loss. Whether you lose teeth because of gum disease, facial trauma, or some other issue, your bone loses the stimulation of the missing teeth. With the loss of stimulation, bone growth cannot occur. On average, the jawbone loses about 25% of its width within the first year after tooth loss.
How Does Bone Grafting Work?
Bone grafting allows us to restore mass and strength to your jaw. It is a surgical procedure during which we transplant bone mass to the affected areas of your jaw. Bone grafting can occur at different times. It can be used to save teeth from falling out as a part of gum disease treatment. A bone graft may be used immediately following a tooth extraction to limit bone loss. The procedure can also be performed following significant bone loss to help increase the success of dental implants. The bone graft itself is like a platform that supports new bone growth and is eventually replaced by new bone.
Guided Tissue Regeneration
Following a bone graft, a membrane may be placed over the graft before your gums are stitched closed. This membrane is soaked in collagen. This membrane helps to stimulate the body's natural production of new bone and tissue. The membrane also acts as a barrier that prevents the soft tissues, which generate faster, from filling in areas where bone is supposed to grow.
Does the Bone Have to Come from My Body?
In many cases, the bone used for your bone graft comes from your own body. After all, it is your tissue, so there is no risk of rejection. You also do not have any risk of other complications such as disease transmission. However, this type of grafting does require another surgical site. Moreover, if you need a larger bone graft, this may not be the ideal solution.
Bone grafting material does not necessarily have to come from your own body. It can come from a suitable donor or even an animal source. In some cases, the graft material is an entirely synthetic material made up of minerals such as calcium, hydroxylapatite, and phosphorous.
Uses for Bone Grafting
Bone grafting can be an effective solution for saving teeth when advanced periodontitis has destroyed the bone and compromised their stability. Grafting can be done immediately following a tooth extraction to reduce the amount of bone loss you might experience. The procedure can also be done to restore missing bone mass to strengthen the jaw to make it more suitable for dental implants.
A bone graft can restore missing bone mass, giving your jaw back its strength. This can help to save teeth or make treatments such as Dental Implants possible. For more information, call Huronia Oral Surgery Group at 705-302-0357 today.

Sent in by Amy-lee Murphy
She was lost. Everyone was gone and she was on her own. Her faint memory couldn't recall what had happened, but she was definitely alone. It was getting dark and all she could see beyond the further were trees. They were dark-green and un-friendly; the type that looked like hands with long, clawing fingernails ready to cut her skin if she came into contact with them. Her clothes were torn and she was cold. The wind burned every inch of skin that was bare. Her feet were aching, but she couldn't stop. Something was keeping her on edge and her heart pounding. She didn't know why she was scared or how she was in a forest, but everything was wrong.
Warm tears trailed out of her eyes but they immediately turned Icy when a sharp gust of wind erupted through her surroundings. Why was she here? Why can't she remember? These thoughts swirled through her mind over and over. She prayed for a road or a trail, Something she could follow or any glimpse of hope. But there was nothing. Nothing but the un-pleasant trees and the haunting feeling that pierced her stomach. The wind blew furiously with a loud daunting howl which stopped her heart. She let out a scared sob but immediately choked on the noise and quickly covered her mouth, as if someone might hear her. She stopped in her tracks and listened cautiously. Her ears ringing as the sudden dead silence sent a dark feeling through her bones. No wind. No rattle of leaves. Nothing. She felt sick now. She was more afraid of this silence then anything else. She walked backwards, the sound of crunching leaves announcing her footsteps until a thud snapped her out of her trance. She looked down at a patch of grass that was different to anything she had walked on. She turned around, a glimpse of hope set fire in her stomach as she thought she'd found a trail, but a gruesome terror sent icy shivers down her spine.
It was black. There was still sun in the sky, but the water was completely black. Even sun rays couldn't shine through the thick coating of sadness that filled this water. Something had happened here, and it was horrible. Her mind screamed at her to run, but there was something floating at the lakes edge. "Turn around, leave!" Her mind shouted at her, but for some reason she needed to see what it was. Something was pulling her to the water; but every inch of her didn't want to know what it was. She wanted to run but she couldn't! No matter how hard she tried to turn away, her feet kept treading forward. The object started to form into a shape that made her want to cry. "Please stop." She whispered to no one.
She was so close to it now, and it was everything she feared. The women's floating, lifeless body haunted her eyes. She dropped to her knees un-controllably. She wanted to turn away and close her eyes, but something was forcing her to do it. She tried to stop her hands from reaching towards the body but her fingers intwined into the women's dark hair until they found something hard to grasp.
She was crying now. Fear filled every inch of her and she wanted to faint. Her possessed hands slowly turned the dead body until she could see the horror that she knew was the reason for such fear. The rotting flesh reeked a putrid stench that formed a lump in her throat and made her gag. Her fingers could feel the the flesh tearing in places. The women's mouth was wide open, lips as dark as night; But it was the lifeless, white eyes that she didn't want to see. She was forced to lock her vision to the saddened eyes but then her stomach dropped. The women's eyes locked on hers too. She jumped! The women screamed a ghastly sound into the girls face and she cried. She turned, realising her uncontrollable limbs finally let her run! But the women was right behind her. her bones cracking together with a sickening noise as she crept fast after her. A hole formed in the grass and she tripped, feeling her ankle shatter while she yelled in pain. She was defeated. The creature was on her now; her eyes were no longer white, but as black as death.
She was death. The gruesome sound of splintering bone and ear piercing screams filled the forest, but for no body to hear.

How and When to Replace a Projector Lamp
It may be time to replace your projector lamp. Projector lamps dim as they age. Some projectors allow you to check the number of hours your lamp has been used through the built-in menu system. Usually a few hours before the expected lamp life is finished, a message will display on your projector bulb screen.
We recommend that you consult your user manual to determine the exact instructions for your specific model. In most cases, the replacement only involves a few steps including the following:
Tips for prolonging the life of projector and lamp
There are a number of steps you can take to prolong the life of your projector bulb. First of all, allow the projector to cool completely after each use before moving it or packing it into the carrying case. You should also avoid extreme temperatures--don\'t leave the projector in the car during the summer or when it is below 40 degrees. Another tip to make your projector lamp last is cleaning the projector filter with compressed air every couple of months.

Mysterious health challenge knocks 'Dr. Mel' off the air at News 8
EAST HAVEN -- "Dr. Mel" Goldstein continues to fight, but his latest challenger is a mysterious, severe pain that has knocked the popular News 8 meteorologist off the air, his broadcasting future uncertain.
The excruciating pain in his hip and groin don't seem to be related to the multiple myeloma Goldstein has lived with for 16 years. In fact, "the amount of cancer in my system is very very low," he says. "And it has actually gotten lower in the last six months, which is a mystery, how the cancer could get lower but yet my pain level can get higher.
"And boy, do I have pain."
Goldstein, chief meteorologist at WTNH-TV, has become widely known for his optimism and broad smile as he delivers his weather forecasts, even in the midst of his 16-year public battle with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the blood that normally carries a three-year life expectancy.
But while he has successfully fought his disease, the pain he started feeling in March makes it difficult for him to get out of a wheelchair. It's been hard on him and his wife, Arlene, whom he met when they were freshmen at Penn State University. They live on the East Haven shoreline.
According to Arlene, "Mel used to say '5'" when asked to rank his pain on a 1-10 scale. "But now he says '15.'"
But while he hasn't been able to get to work at WTNH, Dr. Mel, 65, isn't slowing down intellectually.
Among several projects he's working on is a book, "Still Standing Tall," about myeloma patients who have inspired him. "This book that I'm writing right now is a book about people who have lived far longer and better than anybody ever thought possible," he says.
Unfortunately, he's the only one of the group still living.
"They're still standing tall in my mind and in the mind of others and they're examples of how one should live," Goldstein says. "I've written 13 chapters so far and I've got several more to go and then I'm going to be through with it.
"It depressed me for a while and I couldn't write it because everybody was passing away. But now I've got a handle on it, I understand it, I understand that we can live and we can be productive and if we do die our successes that we've had in our life will live on with our family and with the people that we love."
For Mel and Arlene, those people include their daughter, Laura, and grandson, Eric, who Arlene says idolizes his grandfather.
His other projects include his severe weather index, which he has worked on for 40 years and which "seems to be getting closer to hitting the nail on the head" in predicting storms, and a scholarship program, sponsored by the state utility companies, that would link WTNH with students at Western Connecticut State University, where Goldstein established the Weather Center as a meteorology professor.
"One thing's for sure is that I'm not going anywhere anytime soon," says Goldstein.
But whether he'll be back on the air is a serious question. "We don't know exactly what we're going to do," he says. "I don't want to resign. I would like to stay on as a consultant, working on the many projects that I have."
He says WTNH General Manager Mark Higgins told him he wouldn't even look at a resignation letter, although other well-known News 8 staffers have been let go, including weathermen Geoff Fox, Matt Scott and Sid Starks and reporter Ted Koppy. New to the News 8 weather team are Steve MacLaughlin, Steve Villanueva, Erica Grow and Sam Kantrow.
Higgins could not be reached to comment for this story.
"It's time for young people to move up and come along and be successful with their families and have a good life, and it would be wrong for me to stay in the spotlight," Goldstein says.
"I consider myself very fortunate and if I continue to work on this I'll do it as a consultant. I won't worry about being on television and being seen by the public as I have in the past."
One thing's for sure, however. Dr. Mel the pain he's experiencing isn't going to stop him any more than the cancer has.
"I think I'm going to be busy," he says. "I'm going to be very very busy."

Extending the Lifespan of Your Chalk Paint on Laminate Furniture
Chalk Paint On Laminate Furniture – If you have chosen to install laminate flooring in your home, you already know that it is a beautiful alternative, low maintenance for hardwood. You can get the same look and feel without spending big money or worrying about any disturbing moisture problems made from natural materials such as wood. Although there is no question that this type of surface is a less demanding choice, there are still several ways to extend its life, saving more time and money.
Preventive Care for Your Laminate Flooring
Use only cleaning products intended for use with the right type of surface. While maintaining the beauty of your room requires only a soft feather broom or a vacuum with soft floor attachments, keep in mind that, unlike hardwood, Murphy's Oil can blunt your finishes or increase the likelihood of accidents from slipping and falling. . You must receive instructions to clean with your installation, so consult before cleaning.
24 Photos Gallery of: Extending the Lifespan of Your Chalk Paint on Laminate Furniture
Remember That It Is a Material Produced
This means you should not get wet, because standing water can damage it. You will want to make sure that you do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool or scouring powder. The top layer is a layer that is intended to extend its useful life. This is made to be wear resistant, but scratching will damage this layer, allowing the debris to sink to the bottom layer. This can reduce the life span and cause color fading or unsightly.
Avoid Wear
Put a soft cloth under the feet of your furniture, and use a wider cloth for heavier furniture to be taken into account in the shift. When moving furniture around, grab them instead of dragging them to avoid marking your floor. Place a carpet or kitchen mat in front of the sink in your kitchen, if you have a laminate floor there, to provide a barrier to water droplets. Avoid wearing sports shoes, sports shoes, or high heels in it to help prevent dents, scratches, and blisters.
Maintain a Consistent Level of Humidity
While it's true that you have to worry about less moisture with this surface than with hardwood, any room that has a water problem or is consistently humid must have a dehumidifier placed in it. On the other hand, if you have a very dry room, you should consider using an air humidifier to avoid drying too much material.
Clean When You Leave
Make sure you wipe and spill, even though they are only water when that happens. Laminate flooring is an alternative to hardwood that is durable, highly customizable, and beautiful. Even though the treatments needed are less than those for pricier alternatives, these tips will help you extend life and aesthetics, which means less hassle, stress, and money from your pocket.

A month or 2 ago I was chatting to a lady before yoga and she mentioned something about wanting to grow vegetables ..... just the catalyst I needed, of course, to issue gentle encouragement and offer a couple of winter suggestions. I don't think I even bombarded her with blog addresses and compost recipes! I thought no more about it.... until I walked into the yoga room this morning and set myself up next to her, by chance. She said "Hi.... I have been meaning to tell you that I have dug up some lawn and now have 3 small beds of winter vegetables growing." The yoga class started and I didn't get a chance to comment.
Little does she know that she made my day, and I will remember it from now on. It has added to the many other little victories in this gardening life that make me keep writing stuff on this blog and wanting to help to influence the route humankind takes into a future that we can choose rather than one chosen for us by others. Others who have made my day and my life recently are those who have joined the seedsavers simply because they found the blog....Ting and Tina and Nat, to name a few. Of course Chook would have to be my number one inspiration. Then there's Barb.... oh the list goes on and on. They thank me, but it is me that is so thankful to them, for giving me those little victories.
When I started with the Wednesday garden group (not the seedsavers group), about 11 years ago, I was the only one who grew vegetables. Now, sure, there have been people come and go, but every single one of them that I can think of started to grow vegetables because I did, while they were part of the group, and they could see it wasn't that hard, each time that gardening was at my place. Now our current group is totally committed more to food gardening than to ornamental and I am really proud of that.
I am not trying to say how great I am... just that life is a funny thing and that we all need these little victories to keep us enthused and active and forever going forwards. It is when people lose touch with hope and have no little successes that life becomes like an abyss. Some parts of my life may be far less than perfect but having a tiny influence over the future of human civilisation is a mighty fine goal for me and people like this lady at yoga today continue to play a part in my feelings of success without even realising it.
Soon I am leaving on the Vegetable Vagabond trip and every one of those people who have offered to have me in their homes and gardens have, one by one, already given me so much just by their kindness. Who would ever have thought that a person who just grows vegetables and writes about it on a blog could, in such a short time, have invitations from people all over the world to go and dig in their soil and cook in their kitchens! Little victories sure can add up!
So, every person who reads this blog.... close to 100 hits and 150 page views per day, every day now.... is hopefully having little victories themselves and influencing our future for the better and it is like a domino effect...on and on... until the world finds itself on a fine, green path, gaining in health and vitality.
Healthy people with a healthy outlook make for a healthy community and a healthy planet.
Nice feeling.....
Little Victories: Beccy Cole
Everyday heroes and everyday lives
Do what they must just to survive
They never make the front page news
But heaven knows they pay their dues
You can see the Little Victories shining in their eyes
CH: They don't need fortune and they don't need fame
They are already winners if they're in the game
They don't need our pity or our sympathy
They get all they need from Little Victories
A single mothers' wage barely gets them through
But they do all the things other families do
And the man that's 84 years old
Who learned to cook when his wife passed on
Discovering things inside that he never knew

This is same thing my mind is working on - importance of little victories. We tend to not see them or to minimise the meaning.
After understanding how important they are and after celebrating each of them, we became successful and this is waht we need to be happy :)
Thank you for this post.

Yes, Kate, these little victories are so much more important than the so-called bigger ones, every day ... And your blog is showing the way to people all over the world that they can choose, rather than have life chosen for them. It's especially exciting I think when young people get involved. I was so pleased recently when my daughter said that among people her age there's a move back to the land and growing things. She's become a gardener after growing up and leaving home, but I like to think we had something to do with it! And the blog links around the world are so important - I never thought when I started my blog that I'd have an Australian gardener coming to stay - and very soon now too!

Kate - I often feel you do so much to help me with my veggies that all I ever do is say thanks to you! I'm glad that even though I've hardly done anything for you in return, you get a little inspirational victory from it. Perhaps one day when I've passed through my busy mothering phase I'll be able to apply all of the things you've taught me and grow enough healthy veggies to give some back to you or inspire other people along. Then that can be a big victory for you!

Killing Daddy's Cancer (Ongoing)
"Daddy isn't going to be home for a little while, okay?" said Michael Brown to his sons Karter, 2, front, and Jaxson 4, back at their home in Germantown Hills, Ill. before saying goodbye for a month long trip to Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska for treatment. After 4 years in remission, Brown was re-diagnosed in December with an aggressive form of Stage 4 Colon Cancer called Signet ring Cell Adenocarcinoma. In hopes of a beating cancer for the second time, Michael and his wife Angie decided to travel to Omaha from Peoria Ill. for Michael to undergo Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC). The surgery was 12 hours long and required a 3 week recovery period in the hospital.
In hopes of creating as many memories as possible with their boys while Michael is healthy and able, the family has taken many trips over the last year. In May, marking the one year anniversary of Michael's invasive HIPEC surgery, the family flew to Orlando, Florida for a trip to Sea World.
Jaxson keeps a watchful eye on a nurse at Nebraska Medical Center on April 15, 2016. Michael was recovering from his second HIPEC procedure.
Angie Brown swings with her two boys Jaxson, 4, and Karter, 2, in their backyard in Germantown Hills on a playground that Michael built for the boys just week prior to his treatment. Angie Brown, who works as a nurse practitioner enjoys spending as much time with the boys as she can when not at work.
On July 25, 2014 the family hosted it's first annual Michael's Run for Life, making over $50,000 their first year for research and awareness. "It's crazy not knowing how many years Michael will be here for this race," said Angie Brown of the race that will be held in Michael's name each year. Because of their father's diagnosis Jaxson and Karter are considered at a high risk to get the same strain of cancer that their father has. Because little is known about the rare disease, the Brown family started the Michael B. Brown Colon Cancer Foundation, in hopes of raising money for research to help their boys.
Michael shows is wound at their home in Germantown Hills, Ill. on June 14, 2014. About 6 weeks post-op Mike and Angie had to make an unplanned 6 hour trip back to Omaha to tend to Michael's incision, which was not healing properly.
Michael, Angie and Jaxson take advantage of a nice evening and have a fire outside with some family friends. Hoping to create as many memories as possible for Karter and Jaxson with their father, the Brown's have bought a family boat, made a trip to Disney World and they have a trip to Sea World planned in the Spring.
While on a family walk, Karter, 2, decided that he wanted to try out Jaxson's bike. "Even if this surgery buys us another year, it's the difference between Karter remembering his father and not," said Angie Brown.
In March, Michael Brown takes a quiet moment to wrap his arms around Jaxson during a family outing to a state championship basketball game in Peoria, Illinois. Michael returns to Omaha, Nebraska every three months for scans to look for new cancer growth. His last two visits post surgery have shown no new growth. In late July 2015, Brown, who recently admitted that he has been having symptom will return to Omaha for another round of scans.

Argentina police officer breastfeeds malnourished baby in viral photo, receives promotion
BUENOS AIRES (FOX NEWS) - An Argentine police officer received a promotion Friday after a photo showing her breastfeeding a malnourished baby at a hospital went viral.
Celeste Ayala, a mother of three, was on duty at the Sor Maria Ludovica Children's Hospital in Buenos Aires last week when she heard the baby's cries, according to The Guardian. Marcos Heredia, one of Ayala's colleagues, captured the moment and posted a photo to Facebook.
"I want to make public this great gesture of love that you made today with that baby, who you did not know, but for who you did not hesitate to act like a mother," Heredia wrote on Facebook. "Things like that are not seen every day." The baby seen with Ayala was one of six siblings who were malnourished, local media reported. Ayala said she noticed the baby was hungry before asking to breastfeed him.

Fifty-five percent of surveyed Harris County residents say they'll vote for the county's proposed $2.5 billion flood control bond. That's compared to just 10 percent who say they'll vote against it, according to a survey conducted by the University of Houston.
This is the second survey UH's Hobby School of Public Affairs has conducted since Harvey regarding local support for flood prevention.
In the first survey, which was conducted last fall, more than 40 percent of those interviewed said they weren't willing to spend any more property taxes to support flood control. Jim Granato, the school's executive director, said that opposition has plummeted.
"There's strong support even among people who did not flood, and that appears to indicate that people view this as a community/regional issue. It's not only affecting individuals…themselves, but they're willing to commit public resources to solving a public problem," Granato noted.
The survey found support for the bond was bipartisan, with 58 percent of Republicans and 63 percent of Democrats backing the proposal.
Early voting in the bond election begins Wednesday. Election Day is August 25.
