We did it!
Claire Hall raised £90 from 8 supporters
Start your own crowdfunding page
Closed 16/09/2018
We've raised £90 to help fund The Sand Stormers team costumes. I'm running The GNR to do this
- South Shields, UK
- Funded on Sunday, 16th September 2018
What is crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered nonprofit.
The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.
The Sand Stormers have been friends and danced together for years as children. They collectively decided to return to ballroom dancing 3 months ago, some of them with an absence of 6 years. They were kind enough to ask me to join their team!
Between us we have won several British Championship titles. Together as a group, we wish to reinvest in our dance talents and represent South Shields. We are trained by the fabulous Stuart Hatton who is pushing us hard!
We are financing the lessons ourselves along with our own dance shoes, travel expenses and accommodation but we also need to fund our costumes..........
A typical dance dress consist of several layers of fabric for the skirts, a leotard and the option to stone. Think Strictly Come Dancing without their budget.
I am running The GNR to raise funds for this. Every donation is appreciated and will help us!
Thanks for your support and I will keep you updated on our journey and my run training 😊💃🏼

Korda KRANK Hooks
It is very rare that an actual new pattern of hook hits the shelves, as most are simply the manufacturers take on a traditional pattern with a couple of little tweaks to make them "different".
When the Krank was being mentioned online and also on the bank, most anglers thought it would be a traditional pattern of hook rather than a radical new design!
The Krank hook is the brainchild of Tom Dove, who was looking to design a new pattern of hook that would lend itself perfectly to almost every situation faced by the angler when fishing bottom baits. Tom was looking for a pattern that didn't need "bells and whistles" to work effectively and would offer exceptional hooking potential when ued with a simple knotless knot.
The Krank has an aggresively short curved shank rather than the traditional curved shanks that are elongated, along with a wide gape on a round bend which leads to an offset inturned point. The combination of these simple features ensures that the hook turns every single time in making the point heavy due to the shorter shank.
The eye is straight and has a few millimetres of straight shank before the curve begins which allows a basic knotless knot to sit perfectly.
The Krank hooks are avaiable in micro barbed only and in sizes 2 through to 10. A packet of ten hooks have a RRP of £3.99.
First Impressions
I must admit that the Krank hook looked "wrong" to me when I first saw them, but I could not have been more wrong after having a play. The short shank in conjunction with the wide gape makes the point of the hook heavier than more traditional patterns, which means it turns instantly. The offset curved point also helps to lessen the chance of hook pulls, especially if you crimp your barbs. With anglers concentrating on how sharp the hook is out of the packet, I have to admit that the two packets I checked, every single hook point was razor sharp and needed no touching up with a file whatsoever. I am going to put my head on the block and state publically, that of the 20 hooks I checked (10 x sz6 and 10 x sz8), the Krank hooks are the sharpest hooks I have taken straight out of a packet!
I am one of these anglers that likes to keep things as simple as possible on the bank, but I carry 3 or 4 different patterns of hooks in different sizes to suit different rigs. I have now removed all the hooks I used for bottom baits and replaced the 10 or so different packs with just the 2 sizes of Krank's (only other pattern I have left in the pouch is a dedicated chod/stiff rig hook).
If you are a user of KD rigs or other simple bottom bait rigs, the Krank deserves a very close look. It has changed the way I approach my bottom bait rigs now!

Outdoor activities for toddlers are fun and pleasure for them as well as their mother and father. Glad you discovered the concepts for fun out of doors actions with kids to be helpful, and, as you say, parents can even do any of these things with their kids, too. Recreating a landscape utilizing supplies from nature, making easels from found supplies and utilizing markers to attract on glass, all sound like wonderful additional outside actions for the the artists in all of us. He does get soiled and you need to stop him from eating it typically however it's one among his favorite activities. Art actions are a great way to show children and adults about a large variety of subjects, and with the ability to make art outside is so much extra enjoyable as well. Harinarayan – You'll have so many opportunities to share fun outdoor actions along with your baby.
KTrapp – I consider that we did all of these outdoor activities with our kids in addition to our grandchildren! The ideas embrace arts, crafts, learning actions, music, kids in the kitchen and outdoor activities. We specialise in delivering the very best in outside exercise-centered experiences for groups of every type, and inside those groups to people of all ages and abilities. Toddlers and preschoolers love enjoying with toys and they can be a simple technique to hold them entertained, especially when they are new to them.
So plan a field trip to a riverside or a mountain, the place the youngsters can participate in numerous activities reminiscent of trekking as well as learn about nature. I have noticed with youngsters that they have an initial interest in toys but as quickly because the novelty issue of every toy wears off, the toy does not get played with as a lot.
Shelling is one among my favorite actions at the beach, and one that my grandchildren beloved to do. All you need is a small bucket or bag and also you're good to go. A few of these shells and stones may even be used later for indoor crafts or simply displayed in a jar or basket as a room ornament.
There are plenty of activities for adults to take pleasure in at a forest camp, comparable to looking (check if it is permissible), outside cooking, walking in the woods, mountaineering and most of all, having fun with the fantastic thing about nature!

Military Youth Saves
Military Youth Saves (MYS) is an initiative of America Saves that motivates first-time workers to save a portion of their income. MYS encourages young people to take the Military Saves Pledge and set savings goals. We are beginning our work in this area with a large and vulnerable population, young first-time summer workers from low-income households. These young people are inexperienced about personal finance and are less likely to save any of their earnings. Employment for this group of 16- to 24-year-olds reached nearly 20 million in July 2013, as reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The blockchain concept was originally developed as an efficient and secure way to manage and register transactions made with cryptocurrencies – for example Bitcoin, but now it is emerging as a truly transformative technology in the financial sector as a whole.
Blockchain offers transparency around transactions and provides safety and security for not only people's money but also their data; this is due to the properties of distributed ledger technology.
The DLT component of blockchain allows each counterparty to have its own copy of the same ledger, similar to the way a Google doc allows multiple parties to view the same information at the same time. The database is built to be immutable, which means there is inherent security because information on the ledger itself cannot be changed.
This fixed data and the fact that it is distributed/replicated across all blocks on the network removes the need for reconciliation, and creates a golden source of data on the network where you can have confidence in the data being tamperproof: greater than 50 per cent of the network would need to be compromised for the data to be suspect.
As a result, a digital, decentralised ledger, blockchain optimises accuracy, accountability, speed and transparency.
How can blockchain be used in the mortgage industry?
The mortgage value chain is highly fragmented, with various organisations and intermediaries involved at all steps. Despite advancements in technology, it is still predominantly paper-based, manual and prone to processing errors. This means that financial institutions stand to gain from reduced costs made throughout the mortgage value chain and more efficient interactions with suppliers, agents and customers.
As a decentralised, contract-based transaction management system where loans and related payments and approvals are linked together, mortgage origination, initiation and execution is ideal for blockchain. A permissioned mortgage lending blockchain can dramatically reduce costs, fees and fraud and improve efficiency, transparency and certainty along the whole transaction for all parties.
What next for the mortgage industry?
While the benefits are clear, there are several hurdles that still need to be overcome to make the technology more fsuitable for the mortgage industry:
Re-engineering– the cost/benefit trade-off needs to be more attractive than enhancing existing legacy systems, since reengineering costs could be large.
Evolving the right standard – ecosystem participants must agree on standards. Interoperability is also required
Scalability of solutions – the chosen solution needs to scale up, potentially to high frequency trade volumes.
Governance– who validates transactions, screens participants, maintains the blockchain and arbitrates security and rule changes must be decided.
Regulation– global regulators need to become involved. Tools such as the FCA Sandbox could help.
Security–What happens if somebody loses their key? This stores a user's identity and assets.
Reimagining the ecosystem
While there is an opportunity to improve speed, transparency and efficiency, the power of blockchain and digital technology will not only enable the industry to create new business models, but will improve the whole housing journey for customers across buying, living, selling and renting.
Digital technology will allow all ecosystem players, such as mortgage firms, banks and insurance companies, to create constant engagement with the customer with an end-to-end approach that embraces many more aspects of home ownership. Moving away from transactional operations, the whole ecosystem will look to create sustainable value and tangible outcomes from the homeowner.
In order to achieve this, there is a need to create an open ecosystem with a shared infrastructure where the customer is at the center. By having an open ecosystem, partners can collaborate and utilise data, which will result in reduced costs and create outcome-based services. Banks have been at the forefront of this, with many creating distributed applications to move beyond a digital platform model. Blockchain is a technical way to achieve this for cases that require data validation and reconciliation.
We now need broker networks, mortgage lenders, insurance and servicing firms, intermediaries and title registries to cooperate. Those who don't stand to miss out on this opportunity.

Cyprus PIO: Turkish Cypriot and Turkish Media Review, 12-09-14
Cyprus Press and Information Office: Turkish Cypriot Press Review Directory - Previous Article - Next Article
From: The Republic of Cyprus Press and Information Office Server at <http://www.pio.gov.cy/>TURKISH CYPRIOT AND TURKISH MEDIA REVIEW No. 179/12 14.9.12
[01] Gulden Plumer Kucuk: remains of missing persons have been found in military zonesTurkish Cypriot daily Kibris newspaper (14.09.12) reports that Gulden Plumer Kucuk, Turkish Cypriot member of the Committee on Missing Persons, stated yesterday that excavations for finding missing persons have been carried out in 16 points in military zones in the occupied area of Cyprus and that remains of missing persons were found in many places.
Responding to questions of illegal TAK news agency, Kucuk said that their priority was to complete the excavations in non-military zones and after that to start in military zones, but as a result of what she described as "good relations" with the military authorities, they carried out excavations in 16 points in military zones, in spite of the fact that excavations in non-military zones continued.
"According to the list we have in our hands, there are more than 200 places that should be excavated', she noted and added that this number changes because they receive information every day from eye witnesses. "Have all the works in non-military zones ended and only the military zones remained", she wondered.
Commenting on information published in the Greek Cypriot press that the biggest grave with missing persons had been found in the area of occupied Hamit Mandres village, Kucuk argued that this is "definitely wrong" and added that the biggest grave with missing persons was in occupied Aloa, Maratha and Sandalaris villages, where the remains of 126 persons had been found. She added that the second biggest grave had been found in Tohni area with 84 remains and the third biggest grave in occupied Ashia village with the remains of around 80 Greek Cypriots. She said that the remains of only 10 persons were found in Hamit Mandres.
[02] Political conflicts continue in the occupied area of CyprusTurkish Cypriot daily Kibris newspaper (14.09.12) reports that Mehmet Cakici, chairman of the Social Democracy Party (TDP) has accused self-styled prime minister, Irsen Kucuk of making a turn of 180 degrees by stating that no early "elections" will be held in the occupied area of Cyprus before 2014, and recalled that Kucuk had stated that the National Unity Party was the most prepared party for "elections".
In a written statement issued yesterday, Cakici said Kucuk was afraid of early "elections". Commenting on Kucuk's statement that the call of the opposition parties for early "elections" was not convincing, Cakici challenged Kucuk to announce early "elections" in order "to see who is sincere and who is not sincere".
Cakici argued that the UBP "government" made the people poorer, lead all sectors to bankruptcy and caused protest activities by all organizations. He expressed the view that the UBP does not enjoy enough support and tries to "survive" by transferring "MPs". He argued that the UBP refrains from holding early "elections" because it is afraid of the anger of the "people".
Meanwhile, according to Kibris, Mehmet Ozkardas, chairman of so-called public servants trade union, has expressed his full support to the three opposition parties, which cooperate for early "elections", for the change of the "elections'' system and for "paving the way of the people".
Ozkardas sent a letter to TDP chairman Mehmet Cakici criticizing the UBP self-styled government and accusing it of not keeping the promises it had given before coming to "power".
[03] Illegal Bayrak's director has been relieved of duties; So-called minister Atun submitted his resignUnder the above title, Turkish Cypriot daily Havadis newspaper (14.09.12) reports that the so-called ministerial council approved yesterday the recommending proposal of the "administration board" of the illegal Bayrak radio and television for relieving Ozer Kanli, "director" of illegal BRT.
As the paper writes, the so-called council of ministers convened yesterday after the demand of the so-called prime minister Irsen Kucuk and approved the relieving of Kanli.
The paper writes that the so-called minister of council will wait the next day for the illegal Bayrak's administration board to propose a person that will replace Kanli on his duties.
Meanwhile, the same paper reports also that the so-called minister of economy, Sunat Atun has submitted his letter of resign yesterday to the so-called prime minister Irsen Kucuk. Prior, Atun submitted the economic program to the "cabinet" and then he said that the reason his is resigning is because he will be candidate for the district of occupied Morfou during the UBP' congress.
Commenting on Atun's resignation , Kucuk said that he rejected his resignation, and added that he will meet with Atun today and ask him to continue his duties.
Commenting on his decision, Atun said that he did what it was necessary to do in order to avoid the reactions inside the UBP.
[04] BKP: The basic struggle is not early "elections", but freeing the Turkish Cypriots and reaching a federal solution by getting rid of Ankara's yokeTurkish Cypriot daily Kibris newspaper (14.09.12) reports that the United Cyprus Party (BKP) has said that degrading their struggle only into early "elections" and becoming "government" in the occupied area of Cyprus is tantamount to deceiving the community.
In a written statement issued yesterday, BKP's organizational secretary, Abdullah Korkmazhan noted that the basic struggle was "freeing the Turkish Cypriots and reaching an early federal solution by getting rid of the militarist regime and the yoke of Ankara in the northern part of Cyprus".
Noting that political parties have degraded the communal struggle into overturning the National Unity Party (UBP) self-styled government and taking its place, Korkmazhan argued that the collaborationist, as he called it, UBP "government" is a continuation of the collaborationist "governments" of the Republican Turkish Party (CTP), Democratic Party (DP) and Social Democracy Party (TDP).
"Every one of them has step by step implemented economic and political [decisions] enforced by Ankara", he said.
[05] Erdogan reportedly supports Kucuk in the UBP congressUnder the title "The congress in the media of Turkey", Turkish Cypriot daily Haberdar newspaper (14.09.12) reports that Huseyin Kocabiyik, columnist of Turkish Yeni Asir newspaper shared in his column two articles regarding the developments in the occupied area of Cyprus and the congress of the National Unity Party (UBP).
Kocabiyik argues that Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan supports self-styled prime minister, Irsen Kucuk. Kocabiyik strongly criticizes the Turkish Cypriot leader, Dervis Eroglu whom he accuses of interfering too much in the congress. He argues that Eroglu "wears out for no reason" the post of the "president" by turning it into a part of the debates within the UBP.
The Turkish journalist refers to self-styled prime minister Kucuk's "Great UBP Project" and argues that the return of Turgay Avci and Tahsin Ertugruloglu to the party should be considered definite. [Translator's note: Avci is the chairman of Freedom and Reform Party and Ertugruloglu the chairman of Trust and Democracy Party. They both established their parties after abandoning the UBP.]
[06] CTP leader Yorgancioglu accused AKP of taking step to build a conservative society in occupied CyprusTurkish daily Hurriyet Daily News (14.09.12) publishes statements by Ozkan Yorgancioglu, the chairman of the Republican Turkish Party (CTP) who accused Turkey's ruling party (AKP) for taking steps to build a more conservative society in northern Cyprus. Yorgancioglu also accused the self-styled officials of the "government" of the occupation regime of turning a blind eye to such efforts in order to keep their seats.
"[The Turkish government] is making efforts to introduce its conservative influence in northern Cyprus. Divinity schools have been opened in northern Cyprus, which is unprecedented, although our legislation does not allow such schools. Our government is turning a blind eye to these developments for the sake of remaining in their posts. This situation sparks fury among the Turkish Cypriots," Yorgancioglu, told the Hurriyet Daily News.
The paper writes that first Divinity College in the breakaway regime will begin its educational program this school year, following the opening of a divinity faculty at the illegal Near East University in the 2011-2012 school year. Critics in occupied Cyprus have spoken out against the introduction of divinity schools, relating the development to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's remarks in which he vowed to "raise a pious generation."
"The ruling National Unity Party (UBP) is tied to Turkish government's apron strings at the moment", Yorgancioglu, said.
"The UBP is incapable of taking a firm stand on the impositions the AKP is making. Thus, the Turkish government has had the chance to do whatever it wants without objection from the Northern Cypriot administration. But we cannot accept this situation," he said.
The CTP leader also elaborated on the option of annexing the occupied area of Cyprus to Turkey. "There is no legal basis for annexation," Yorgancioglu said, "But they can create a de facto annexation."
[07] Bagis to pay an illegal visit to the breakaway regimeUnder the title: "Bagis is coming!", Turkish Cypriot daily Haberdar newspaper (14.09.12) reports that Egemen Bagis, Turkey's Minister for EU Affairs and chief negotiator of Turkey in accession talks with the European Union, will illegally visit the breakaway regime in order to participate in a conference organized by the illegal Lefka European University.
The paper, which does not specified the exact date of Bagis' visit, writes that the former Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs Fatih Rustu Zorlu, will also participate in the same conference.
[08] Occupied Lefka "municipality" became sister city with the Turkish municipality of SilifkeTurkish Cypriot daily Haberdar newspaper (14.09.12) reports that the occupied Lefka "municipality" became sister city with the Turkish municipality of Silifke.
According to the paper, a protocol for the sisterhood was signed yesterday in the breakaway regime. The protocol was signed between the self-styled minister of interior Nazim Cavusoglu, the "Lefka mayor" Mehmet Zafer and the Mayor of Silifke Bayram Ali Ongel.
[09] Survey shows AKP first in preference of Turkish citizensTurkish daily Star newspaper (09.09.12) publishes a survey conducted by the Consensus Research and Consulting Company's survey for the Turkish daily Haberturk Gazetesi.
According to the survey, replying to the question "Who would you vote for if general elections were held on Sunday?", 53.7% of the citizens said "AKP" [Justice and Development Party] and 23.8% said "CHP" [Republican People's Party].
The survey was conducted in 81 provinces of Turkey in urban and rural areas with a sample of 1.500 persons, over 18 years old, between 24 August - 6 September 2012.
According to the survey, the most popular leader is the Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan with 44.5%, followed by Mustafa Sarigul, Mayor of Istanbul's Sisli District with 29.3% and CHP leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu with 23.4%.
[10] UN's FAO is planning to establish a regional office in IstanbulTurkish daily Hurriyet Daily News (14.09.12) reports that the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is planning to establish a regional office in Istanbul in order to allow Turkey to become a "donor country" in the region, its director-general, Jose Graziano da Silva, said in Istanbul.
"We need a coordinated G20 response to the food price rises. (?) Opening an office in Turkey will also allow us to expand our economic cooperation in the region, however it is up to Turkey to decide it," Da Silva told Hurriyet Daily News on the sidelines of a meeting held in Istanbul by the FAO and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). Along with Da Silva, Food and Agriculture Minister Mehdi Eker and EBRD President Suma Chakrabarti attended the conference, titled "Private Sector for Food Security," in Istanbul.
The FAO had met with Turkish Food and Agriculture Minister Mehdi Eker to discuss improving the relationship between FAO and Turkey, Da Silva said. "Our plan is to establish an office in Istanbul and have more people working within the organization."
[11] UK supporting Turkey's EU accession from beginning, says British diplomatAnkara Anatolia news agency (13.09.12) reports that the director of the European and Global Issues Secretariat at the UK's Cabinet Office, Angus Lapsey has said that United Kingdom has been supporting Turkey's accession to European Union (EU) from the beginning.
Lapsey delivered a speech on Thursday at the Foundation for Political, Economic and Social Research (SETA) in terms of future of the union and Turkey-EU relations, in Ankara, the Turkish capital.
Lapsey stated that union countries have been facing heavy economic crisis for a while, and it would not be finished as quickly as people thought. He said that the economic slowdown in the union not only causes an economic downturn in Britain, it also causes problems in whole union countries.
In terms of Turkey's membership to EU, Lapsey stated that his country has been supporting and will continue to support Turkey's accession.
Stating that Turkey and Britain had several relations on commercial and political issues, the two countries also tackled issues such as Syria, fighting against terrorism and Iran, Lapsey indicated.
[12] Protection for gay rights vetoed by AKPUnder the above title, Turkish daily Hurriyet Daily News (14.09.12) reports that the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) has vetoed a proposal jointly introduced by the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) and the Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) that would bring in constitutional protection for gay rights, while the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) has proposed an alternative clause upon the AKP's refusal.
"It is the duty of a state to eliminate practices and legal rules which stem from cultural or societal prejudices which are based on the supremacy of a gender," the proposal introduced by the CHP and the BDP on September 11 said.
The proposal was introduced during debates on the principle of equality as part of the ongoing meetings on drafting of the "Fundamental Rights and Freedoms" chapter of the Constitution by the Parliament Constitution Reconciliation Commission.
CHP's Izmir deputy R?za Turmen and the BDP's Diyarbakir deputy Altan Tan asked for constitutional protection of gay rights along with the inclusion of notions of "sexual orientation" and "gender identity," within the article covering protection equality among people.
"We don't find it right to have an expression concerning gays in any part of the constitution," the AKP's Istanbul deputy Mustafa Sentop was quoted as saying in response to the proposal.
Sentop also argued that the AKP is against the inclusion of such notions both within the Constitution and within the international agreements. The MHP then proposed having an article that said "Nobody can be subject to discrimination no matter what the reason is," with the same party's Konya deputy Faruk Bal suggested that such an article would "cover everybody."
While the articles covering "equality and children rights" were being debated, the BDP proposed a notion that guaranteed "every child's use of his or her own language."
The BDP also asked for the inclusion of this notion as "every child has the right to use his or her own culture and to use his or her own language," within the draft. However, deputies from the three other parties represented at the commission have objected to the BDP's proposal.
The proposal was eventually rejected outright and not included within the draft. The only matter on which deputies from all four parties represented in the commission agreed upon during the September 10 meeting, was "constitutional protection for atheists." TURKISH AFFAIRS SECTION

Tustin CA
Tustin CA was first explored by the Spanish, and later settled as a Spanish land grant. Nomadic indigenous people living in the area were settled into missions at this time. Later, with the annexation of California into the Union, a carriage maker turned land developer named Columbus Tustin bought some of the land. He tried to sell lots in the new city of Tustin CA but ended up having to give away free lots when the railroad failed to choose his land as its terminus. One thing Tustin did have going for it was ample natural water. If you own a residential or commercial property in Tustin CA, you can rely on Guardian Roofs for all your roofing needs. We handle everything from new roof construction to reroofs, repairs, and roof certifications. We can even help with insulation. As a licensed and insured company, all of our services are competitively priced and backed by a quality satisfaction guarantee.

Next to my basic sourdough sandwich bread, I probably make sourdough biscuits with my starter most often.
They come to together so quickly and don't require as much advance preparation time as the bread, so it's a frequent go-to for me when I realize that I'm really low on bread or perhaps completely out of it.
These drop biscuits are heartier than the light, flaky, white biscuits from restaurants. However, they are full of delicious sourdough flavor and have a light texture for a whole grain food.
Even if you haven't mastered a great sourdough bread loaf yet, these biscuits are really quite simple to make. We love them with soups, stews, egg dishes, meat dishes, vegetable dishes, and really, all dishes!
Best of all, I always try to make extra for the next morning's breakfast. We just love biscuits with butter and a little syrup or honey drizzled on top! It's a fun morning treat.
Easy Sourdough Drop Biscuits
- 4 cups whole wheat flour or 3 cups whole wheat and 1 cup whole oat flour (I freshly grind mine in my WonderMill)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt (I use Real Salt)
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup active sourdough starter
- 1 1/4 cup milk, buttermilk, or thinned yogurt (I usually use sour milk in mine)
1. Stir together the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl.
2. Cut in the butter with a fork, two knives, or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles crumbs. If the butter is hard when you're cutting it in, you can use your hands to quickly and evenly rub it into the flour.
3. Stir together the sourdough starter and milk in a mixing cup. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour the starter and milk into the well.
4. Gently fold the flour from the outside of the bowl into the well in the center so that the dough is evenly combined but not over mixed.
5. Allow to rise and ferment for 6-8 hours.
6. Carefully scoop the dough onto an ungreased baking sheet (I like to use stoneware baking sheets), taking care to not deflate the biscuits as much as possible.
7. Bake at 400* for about 20-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Of course, we like these best with a nice layer of butter on them. Really, isn't everything better with butter?
This recipe makes about 2 dozen biscuits, depending on the size you make them. For our family, that's about right for one dinner and our special morning treat the next day.
Since these only require one time of rising and fermenting, they are ready in about half the time as regular sourdough bread. However, the downside to the quicker prep time is that the starter has less time to work its benefits on the dough.
Be sure to give these a try if you are looking for more ways to enjoy that wonderful concoction called sourdough starter!

Albuquerque offers an extremely unique food scene. But where to eat in Albuquerque? I spent a weekend here in New Mexico's largest city seeking to find the answer to that very question.
I grew up with a variety of culinary influences in my life. Growing up in Michigan, I experienced the heart of the mid-west's (mostly) unhealthy delicacies. My mother's side of the family fully embraces our Syrian heritage, and we show in in our bevvy of middle-eastern recipes. Meanwhile, my step-mother's family rarely throws a party without Polish favorites like Kielbasa and Pirogi. And for the last ten years, I've been immersed in southern food favorites in my new home of Tallahassee. And man, New Mexico offers a culinary curveball that is truly unique when compared to all of that.
New Mexico cuisine is a genuine mix of influences from nearby Mexico and their rich Native American history. And (as you'll soon see) just about EVERYTHING comes with green or red chilies. Let's eat!
Where to eat in Albuquerque – Breakfast & Coffee
Humble Coffee
Great For: your morning pick-me-up (and breakfast too)!
Every good day starts with a nice cup of coffee, and Humble Coffee delivers just that. My trip to Albuquerque was mid-December. And in the desert the mornings are cold. It was mid-20s when I woke up around 6:30am in the morning, and Humble Coffee offered a downtown location within walking distance from my hotel.
Downtown Albuquerque is as unique as everything else. The main streets are best described as retro chic – what cool probably looked like in the late 80s early 90s. Humble Coffee, true to it's name, lacks any sort of a flashy sign and almost looks like an office building until you open the door.
Inside, Humble is bright, airy and open. The baristas offer all the coffee staples. They advertise their syrups as homemade, and my Vanilla Latte came out great. They offered raspberry toast, but I went with the green chile burrito. I mean, this is New Mexico, after all.
Prismatic Coffee
Go there to: Enjoy a cup of coffee made by people who care a lot about making a good cup of coffee.
Primatic Coffee makes a great cup of coffee, period. Located in Albuquerque's Sawmill neighborhood, the shop is tucked back in a modern-industrial type complex that is clean and new. Prismatic prides themselves on being Albuquerque's first Third Wave Coffee Company, meaning these people really, really care about the cup of coffee they're going to serve you. And it shows.
The coffee menu is limited, but extremely well done. If you truly like coffee, done well, without the bells and whistles, this is your place.
Great for: People who use brunch as a verb (myself included).
Located in an old pharmacy (punny, huh?), Farmacy is near New Mexico University's main campus. The menu is just long enough to offer a variety of both New Mexican and non-New Mexican favorites. A waffle with chilies? Yep, they have that. Along with the more traditional fruit topped ones as well. They have an impressive coffee menu (I didn't have any, as I had just left Primsatic – above – note long before) as well as small bites to have with, if you're looking for something lighter. I went for the breakfast tacos, which were very impressive. A perfect mix of your typical breakfast ingredients in a traditional New Mexican corn tortilla made for a satisfying first meal of the day.
Beware though, service can be slow on the weekend. It took me 40 minutes to get my tacos from the time I ordered.
Where to eat in Albuquerque – Lunch
SooBak Korean Seoul Food Truck
Great For: Food truck scene, late night eats. Check out their website for info or Facebook page for locations.
One thing that Albuquerque has going for it is a good food truck scene. I had to check out one when I was in town. It just so happened that the one that was recommended to me was set up right around the corner from where I was working at lunch – win!
Soobak Korean Soul Food has a pretty limited menu, but they do it well. A few types of Korean BBQ tacos with homemade kimchi gives you exactly what you need. I went for a spicy pork taco with cabbage kimchi. And of course – because this is New Mexico – it comes with a side of green chilies. Fantastic!
Where to eat in Albuquerque – Dinner
Green Jeans Farmery
Great for: Great food, craft beer – and when you're with a group of people who just can't decide on the same thing to eat.
If I return to Albuquerque any time soon, this just may be my must-return spot. Green Jeans is designed to reflect New York City's popular food halls – a variety of spots to order from with common eating areas. So, if you want a personal pizza and your friend wants tacos? No problem, at Green Jeans, just order from each shop then go grab a seat in the tap room at Sante Fe brewery, where they'll bring your food to you while you sip on craft beer. I went with a red chile sauce personal pizza from Amore, a small shop with a wide variety of pies. I was not disappointed at all. On the Saturday night we went, Sante Fe had good live music to boot. This is perfect for a night out with friends – and stumbling distance to a few hotels too, if need be.
Sadie's New Mexico
Great For: New Mexican Cuisine
If there's a place in Albuquerque to experience the local flavor, Sadie's New Mexico may be it. About a 10-15 minute drive north from downtown, it's pretty easy to get to and tucked back from the main road. The outside clay block exterior screams New Mexico, as does the inside. And the menu screams of New Mexican favorites.
So, full disclosure, when I ordered the enchiladas, I was expecting, ya know, enchiladas. Not in New Mexico, my friend. Here, the enchiladas come stacked, not rolled. A tortilla is layed down first, then meats, beans, potatoes, cheese, lettuce and tomato. The result is like a plate of nachos minus the chips. I got mine with both red and green chile, and it did not disappoint. There's a menu full of stuff here, and nothing that passed by my table looked bad.
Places I didn't go to but had my eye on: Frontier is a college favorite, famous for their green chile burgers. Farm & Table was the other place I was eyeing for a really good brunch. Grove Market has a good rep as a coffee shop too, as does Standard Diner.

10 things in North Devon to add to your bucket list in 2017
Whether you live in Devon, on the outskirts, or come from some far away land, Devon is a wonderful place, with an abundance of beautiful beaches, wild walks and fantastic foods. In the winter, some of us have a little bit of a hard time finding things to do, but this blog is here to help you through as most of these activities are suitable all-year round. Here are 10 things that you should definitely add to your bucket list for 2017 to make the most of the delightful Devonshire attractions:
Dine in Ilfracombe
Ok, so those who know Ilfracombe might know that it hasn't always had the greatest reputation, however, it is certainly an area in North Devon that is up and coming. The restaurant selection is fantastic and is something that should definitely be explored this year, from the newly titled Michelin star restaurant of Thomas Carr at The Olive Room to other fantastic choices such as Relish, or The Terrace Tapas & Wine Bar. Make an evening of it and head to the amusements before getting your fix of fab food. Don't forget to visit world-famous artist, Damian Hirst's Verity statue either!
Taste a Hockings
For those of you who don't know, Hockings is the most delicious kind of ice cream to be found anywhere in the world. The clotted cream flavoured treat is a real Devonshire delicacy, and when you spot the first van of the year; you know that summer has arrived! Although in the wintertime their vans aren't going to fill you with joy as you see them parked on the side of the road, rumour has it that if you head to their factory you can still get your fix! Many of us here in Devon only recently found out that they have expanded their flavours from just vanilla to many others, a must try for this summer!
Go Geocaching
Geocaching is possibly one of the best ways to explore Devon, taking you on trails all around that, even as a local, you might not have found without the help of this exciting app! Geocaching is essentially a treasure hunt, leading you down paths and trails to hidden spots to sign your name and possibly pick up a treat from one of those special lock-top boxes! No matter where you go there are caches to be found in North Devon, from the town centre to far out areas, you never know when one could be right around the corner (until you open the app)!
Cream tea
As the long-lived battle with Cornwall remains strong, Devon is still the ultimate winner of the best cream tea. With the cream forming a base for the jam on a toasty warm scone, a delight that is better experienced in the heart of Devon. Head to any local café for this delicacy and you will not be disappointed. We don't argue over this tasty treat for no reason!
Pitch and putt
If you are a golfing pro, then heading to the golf course is a real treat, but for the rookies amongst us, pitch and putt is a lot more fun! A great activity when on a budget, there are many dotted around and make for an excellent day trip, plus, who knows, maybe golf is your hidden talent?
Here in North Devon we see some truly incredible sunsets, you can see a few examples of these wonders over in one of our recent blogs where the team took to photography to show their love of bridges, crabbing and the aesthetic of a sunset! If you are an early riser, seeing the sunrise is also a real treat, particularly during the summer months!
Swim in the sea
Ok, so Devon isn't the kind of place where the sea is an absolute delight to take a dip into, as even in the summer the chill of the water can take your breath away, but it is worth a quick swim anyway! Once you get over the initial shock and the bravery sets in, a brief float in the sea is wonderful, even if you have to opt for wearing a winter wetsuit.
If you are a keen diver, there are actually opportunities to head off diving near Lundy Island, and the experience might be better than you may think!
Take a trip to Lundy Island
This is a trip that many have considered time and time again, but never really got round to doing. However, 2017 is the year to travel to Lundy! Take the special Lundy ferry from Ilfracombe or Bideford and embark on a sea voyage to North Devon's special island. This is a very unique experience where you'll get to explore the 3-mile long, ½ mile wide island, and on your way there, you might even spot some playful dolphins!
Westward Ho!, Woolacombe and Ilfracombe all provide an excellent experience at the amusements, whether your choice of game is the tactical 2p machines or throwing the basketball through the hoop! There is no joy quite like that of handing over a reel of hard earned tokens and exchanging them for a prize of some description (even if you only manage to win a Maoam). This is an activity that you can make last from 10 minutes to 10 hours, depending on your patience and dedication levels!
Fish and chips
The seaside locations in North Devon mean that it would be a sin not to take a taste of fish and chips, no matter where in North Devon you are, there is sure to be a chippy around the corner! Be it the award winning fish dinner of Squires in Braunton, the convenient location of Woody's in Barnstaple or one of the wonderful chip shops in Woolacombe, they all offer a superb chippy dinner that must be enjoyed on a trip to Devon; don't forget the curry sauce!

Posted by Suzanne Myerson, Public Relations, Oracle NetSuite JAPAC
For business owners in Asia Pacific, there are a few common refrains when it comes to their software systems.
"Our inventory system is very manual – there is a lot of duplication with data entry."
"We use a basic accounting package for cash/POS transactions and our CRM is totally disconnected from our other systems."
"It takes us ages to pull financial operational reports to assess our performance."
If you rely on a basic accounting package to run your business, now might be the time to consider other options, such as moving the processes that are key to your business operations to an integrated system like ERP (Enterprise Resource Processing) that will give you complete visibility into every aspect of your business.
The challenges for a fast-growing business can be diverse. G2, an online review platform with more than 650,000 independent and authenticated user reviews read by more than 3 million users each month, recently demonstrated that fast-growing businesses face many of the same challenges as their enterprise counterparts. In the report, The Power of a Cloud ERP Suite, G2 identifies supporting growth and improving productivity and efficiency while lowering costs as the key challenges. No surprises here.
Yet, many businesses in Asia Pacific continue to rely on basic accounting packages to manage business operations. In fact, smaller and midsized businesses often rely on a patchwork of standalone software silos and spreadsheets to solve their immediate business needs, according to the G2 report. As the business and its complexity grows, these disparate systems create operational inefficiencies that can have a negative impact on the bottom line, hurt the customer experience and impede the company's ability to reach its full potential.
What are the signs that your business has outgrown its accounting package?
If any of these signs impact your business, the time has come for you to consider your options – a platform that delivers financials, customer relationship management, inventory and warehouse management and ecommerce capabilities in a single solution.
Join fast growing businesses in Australia, Asia Pacific and across the globe by selecting a technology system that will propel you to new heights.
Determine whether your business has outgrown its accounting package.

A Clearing In The Wildwood. Part 3
So far, only that situation has been considered where a new home owner has control of his trees from the beginning. But the suggestions offered above apply with equal force when the new home you are buying or debating has already been started, or even completed, by a builder-developer. Knowing what to look for, you can tell whether he has conserved or laid waste the tree values in the property. If he has any tree sense, chances are that he has conserved values and will co-operate with you in improving them while there is yet time. If he has massacred the trees, sheer off and buy elsewhere. A sure key to a developer's tree sense, apart from his placement of the house and the care shown in grading, is his treatment of the driveway. Pennies pinched by slamming a driveway in on the shortest course, without regard for good trees, are dollars thrown away. Roots ripped or hacked off to let in concrete or blacktop could just as well have been pruned carefully and the trees' necessity for food and top-pruning recognized. The writer has vivid memory of four fine oaks in front of a $55,000 "development" home near Princeton, N.J., which were plainly slaughtered by such thoughtlessness. Not far from that house is another new one where a dozen tall hardwoods in the front grounds are now grisly skeletons just because about eight inches of soil, excavated from the cellar hole, were spread over their roots instead of being hauled away.
In the Saturday Evening Post (January 28, 1961), Charlton Ogburn, Jr., estimated that the nation's metropolitan population will increase by sixty million in the next year, of which twenty-five million will move into new houses in suburbs. Mr. Ogburn, a park commissioner of Virginia's fast-growing Fairfax County, across the Potomac from Washington, canvassed a lot of land planners, architects, and builders with this question in mind: "Will the land for the oncoming developments be scalped and flattened, or will the new dwellings be fitted into the existing terrain with minimum destruction of trees and undergrowth? . . . The answer will make an important difference in the kind of country we have to live in - and in the kind of people we are. . . . When . . . our dwellings seem to belong where they are, to be parts of their surroundings rather than invaders, we ourselves seem to gain a sense of belonging, of having roots. We even gain some of the serenity which is apt to be the scarcest commodity of all in the abundant life."
Mr. Ogburn found that the more intelligent - and successful - builders have learned to
care for trees because it pays off. Added expense is more than returned in their
properties' saleability. The Federal Housing Administration promises maximum evaluations
to tree-saving builders. One subdivider even "located every major tree on a big
topographical map and cranked them all into the plan." In another development the builder
put up signs reading:
Trees Must Be Kept in Perfect Condition. Do Not Destroy Unless Construction "Super" Gives Approval. Anyone Guilty of Damaging Trees Will Be Put Off the Job.
Homes in new sections usually have to have the utilities brought to them - power and telephone, at least, if not water and sewer as well. It is wise to find out just where your trees stand in relation to these welcome but sometimes reckless arrivals. The workmen who clear the right-of-way and run in your service lines are not interested in saving trees, only in getting wires up or pipes down. Here again your builder is responsible, but keep an eye cocked over his shoulder, and get repaired promptly any tree damage he fails to forfend. In the end you will be glad you did, when other buyers' trees go to pot and yours are the nicest in the neighborhood. One other thing the bulldozer can do for you before it departs: clear a strip of ground for your tree nursery. Put it in a sheltered spot, below a slope, and don't let them scrape away all the topsoil.
In the course of events you may be wanting replacement trees or added starters for empty spots. There is no better time or place to collect and start some specimens than right on your own ground, to which your species are already accustomed. Your woods will be full of sprouts and switches which can be moved with little more effort than it takes to destroy them. The rudiments of transplanting are described in Chapter VIII. Here it is simply suggested that, while an unkempt tract is being tailored, future additions to its wardrobe can be provided for on the spot, to avoid expensive trips later to commercial tree farms.
Before passing on to the physiology, care, and culture of trees, let new home owners
introduce themselves to the great Tree family through some of the following
Pocket Field Guide to Trees, William Carey Grimm (The Stackpole Co.); Handbook of the Trees, Romeyn Beck Hough (The Macmillan Co.); Introduction to Trees, John Kieran (Doubleday & Co.); Our Trees: How to Know Them, Arthur I. Emerson and Clarence M. Weed (J. B. Lippincott Co.); A Natural History of Trees of Eastern and Central North America and A Natural History of Western Trees, Donald Culross Peattie, ed. (Houghton Mifflin Co.); Illustrated Manual of Pacific Coast Trees, Howard E. McMinn and Evelyn Maino (University of California Press); Trees and Shrubs of the Southwestern Deserts, L. D.

Confirmations and Pontifical Low Mass in Tucson, Arizona
9 comments:
Who would have EVER thought that Bishop Kicanas - who is one of the most progressive bishops in the world - would have deigned to celebrate the old rite. I wonder what compelled him.
- Sunday, December 5, 2010 at 7:54:00 AM GMT
When +Kicanis was running against +Dolan, why was he being labeled as a liberal? While he may not be a traditionalist, or a trad-leaning conservative, no truly liberal bishop would ever say a traditional Mass, let alone confirm in the Old Rite.
Phillip Carrion
- Sunday, December 5, 2010 at 2:10:00 PM GMT
+Dolan has never celebrated or attended the Old Rite as a bishop. Does that say something?
- Sunday, December 5, 2010 at 3:00:00 PM GMT
- Jack B. said...
I think Kicanas has been generally supportive of the Institute's work in Tucson. Supposedly, Kicanas invited the Institute into the diocese.
- Sunday, December 5, 2010 at 3:26:00 PM GMT
- AP said...
A nice story from the pre-Motu Proprio era in Tucson:
I don't remember the date, but I know that Bishop Kicanas also attended Mass in choro in 2008 or 2009 in St. Gianna.
- Sunday, December 5, 2010 at 3:26:00 PM GMT
Mr. Palad
That old Freep story was absolutely beautiful. God bless +Kicanis for allowing prisoners access to the Traditional Mass. This just reaffirms my convictions about Abp. Kicanis.
Phillip Carrion
- Sunday, December 5, 2010 at 7:14:00 PM GMT
+Kicanas is a fan of the Traditional Latin Mass and has said it before at the Oratory in Tucson.
It's an aesthetic thing for him.
Most of the parishes in the Diocese are a disaster as far as Catholic doctrine goes...

Bp. Walter Sullivan of Richmond, VA celebrated a Pontifical Mass for St. Benedict Chapel when the latter was regularized.

Funny, he does say Mass there at least occasionally, and I know many people who say only the best about his support for the oratory. At the same time, his diocese, his diocesan newspaper, and my parish are absolutely silent on even the existence of Summorum Pontificum -- I'm tempted to ask them for a copy of any three-year report they sent to the Vatican/PCED about how it went as they "implemented" SP ...

(For people that has a valentine)
I'm trying to figure out what to do. I wanted to take my girlfriend horseback riding, but they were close. Now I'm thinking dinner and bowling, but I'm still debating if that's a good idea. There's apart of me that wants to do something memorable, but I don't know what to do. I can't really think of places that she might enjoy.

Channel & Angle Section Posts
Ancon WP2 Windposts
Ancon WP2 Windposts are angle section windposts designed for either small cavities or where wind loads are high. One leg of the angle windpost is built into the blockwork, and the blockwork tied through the leg of the windpost to minimise any possible movement or cracking of internal finishes. If a vertical movement joint is required in place of a tied joint, ties with a debonding sleeve on one side can be supplied.
The capacity of the post will be reduced in this configuration.
Building Information Modelling
For BIM Objects of these products, please click here.
Ancon WP4 Windposts
Ancon WP4 Windposts are generally used in internal blockwork walls that have a 'fair faced' finish to both sides and where the windposts cannot protrude beyond either face. Sometimes referred to as 'spine' posts they are flat plates designed to fit within the wall. Although the depth of a WP4 post is limited by the width of the masonry (ideally 20mm less than the wall width) the thickness of the post can vary to increase its load capacity. Blockwork is tied through the post. Debonded ties can be used if the post is positioned at a movement joint.
Details for Specification and Ordering
The following clause can be adapted for your bill of quantities to aid the specification of Ancon Windposts and Parapet Posts.
Ancon Windposts WP2 130 x 70 x 6 in grade 304 stainless steel, overall length 2750mm complete with all ties and end connections. Fixed with Ancon FBN12/15 A4-115 Expansion Bolts.

From August the 20th to September the 13th we have been busy sailing groups back and forth to the Isles of Scilly. We have had some epic sails in challenging seas and some in flat fast waters. We have been blessed as usual with plenty of sun, dolphins, rainbows and magic. Grayhound is a regular sight in the islands and the locals are getting to know us. Grayhound of course looks timeless infront of such unspoilt scenery, it really is a artists dream out there. We have had our usual summer holiday groups. Some individuals, couples and of course our families who make these voyages for us.
We have been buying most of our veggies,fruit, meat and dried stores from the local Cusgarne organic farm . To us it has improved our quality of life and what scrummy meals we have enjoyed. I have enjoyed cooking more because of it and i think our customers like the change. We hope to carry on with this next year.
The photos speak volumes. We enjoy our sailing out to the islands and then get stuck into exploring once we are there. We were lucky to catch the lunar low tide party on Tresco too. The Isles of Scilly are so unspoilt and easy going. Island hopping is the thing to do once there so travelling on a boat is ideal. There is something for everyone. Thank you to everyone for coming and sharing our summer holiday with us. Another magic year gone by !

Let Hawaii Happen
Hi friends! I'm excited to share with you one of my favorite travel and destination wedding spots – Hawaii! Chances are, you've visited Hawaii before, or you already have a pretty good idea of what the islands have to offer! However, whether you're going for a summer vacation or celebrating a wedding with family and friends, I'm here to tell you there's more to Hawaii than you think! When you let go and truly take in every experience, it can make your trip that much more memorable!
Hawaii is so romantic – it's no surprise that it's become one of the most popular destinations for couples for everything from proposals, to weddings and honeymoons!
Hawaii is the perfect backdrop for the ultimate destination wedding. There are so many unforgettable spots to pop the question, say "I do," or dance the night away with your guests! There are six major islands that make up the state, and each one has something special to offer your wedding or honeymoon!
For the ceremony and reception, the Napali coastline on Kauai has timeless rugged cliffs and lush green valleys that are just begging to be in your wedding photos. If luxury is more your style, you have to check out all of the gorgeous and laid-back resorts on Maui! Maui is also home to charming small towns, and is perfect for the couple looking for a leisurely wedding or vacation.
If you're looking for sunset romance, Molokai is the place to beat! You'll never forget a romantic sunset ceremony on the beach. Finally, one of my favorite wedding or proposal spots is Lanai. It's small, secluded, and simply serene, and you can't miss Sweetheart Rock nestled in the cliffs! Sweetheart Rock, or Puu Pehe, is named after a Hawaiian legend that tells of two lovers, and is just a 15-20 minute hike from the Four Seasons Resort Lanai!
After the wedding, Hawaii has (almost) even more to offer the honeymooning couple! Oahu is home to some of the best snorkeling, sailing, and surfing – perfect for you to enjoy your favorite sport or try something new together! In addition to the upbeat and athletic activities on Oahu, they are known for their delicious cuisine! If you like Vietnamese food, you have to try The Pig and the Lady in Oahu – it's the most amazing farmer's market style street food!
Another great option is to go back to simpler times, and surround yourself with authentic Hawaiian culture on Molokai.
Lastly, Hawaii Island has enough to entertain you for your entire honeymoon in one pretty spot! Between the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, beautiful sun-kissed beaches, and some of the best stargazing in the world, you'll never run out of fun new things to do together! One of my favorite things to do on Hawaii Island is swimming with manta rays. You don't even have to be a certified diver – You can just snorkel and the experience is still just as magical!
Even when planning a wedding or event, sometimes the best moments are unplanned and unexpected. Those happy moments will be the ones you always remember! I love to use Hawaii as an excuse to unplug, be present, and enjoy the people I'm with and the places we go!

8 Reasons To Join The Belleville Chamber
Egyptian Workspace Partners believes in being involved in its local community, that getting to know its people and local traditions is a worthy pursuit whether you've lived in Belleville all your life or just moved to the area. Egyptian's Director of Business, Brett Baltz, has taken his company's philosophy to heart, becoming a board member on the Belleville Chamber. From being a role model to the new generation of leadership to attending the city's golf events, Brett and all other members of the Chamber have found a distinguished sense of pride in their community involvement. They encourage others to do the same by joining the Belleville Chamber themselves. That being said, the pride members earn goes hand in hand with the rewards they reap…
1. Community
When you work towards building and bettering the Belleville community, you learn about the people you share this city with, building appreciation for your home and earning more smiles from familiar faces when you walk down the street. Becoming a member of the Chamber means that you become an influential piece in making the town better, not only for you and your family, but for your friends and neighbors as well.
2. Networking
Joining the Belleville Chamber is perhaps the best way for hungry new professionals to be seen and gain rapport with business owners. Our Chamber boasts membership of more than 550 businesses, meaning that networking happens naturally and effectively. Being in such an environment, membership automatically singles a person out as a team-player, forward-thinking, generous, and motivated, all of which are traits prized by business owners. With networking events such as Business After Hours and the Otto Golf Classic, membership today can be a person's new career or partnership tomorrow.
3. Committees
Belleville can seem like a large place with so many moving parts, but Chamber committees make everything smaller and manageable. Talented individuals bring their skills and interests to niche committees, such as the Education Committee to improve our children's schools, Belleville Main Street Committee to advance downtown businesses, or even the Belle-Scott Committee for those looking to improve relations with our heroes at the local air force base. This is a great way to meet like-minded people and work together towards a common goal of Belleville betterment.
4. Leadership
Whether you are a tried and true veteran of team leading, or looking to improve your skills, joining the Belleville Chamber is the best way to polish and learn this valuable trait. Leadership Belleville is a unique training program that not only trains an individual to be a positive force in the Belleville community and its businesses. The training will equip a person with the life-long tools necessary to understand issues affecting business, but also provide opportunities for on-going business development, growth and expansion within the Belleville area.
5. Professional Development
Learning is life-long, and in today's ever-evolving world of technology, it's essential to stay up to date on how it affects business trends. From Issues & Eggs Breakfast to Lunch & Lean Seminars, there are opportunities both quarterly and monthly to improve your marketing, business skills, and so much more. For just a couple of hours each month or quarter, members gain valuable information they otherwise would have had to pay costly for with an educational institute.
6. Marketing & Advertising
Members enjoy complementary marketing & advertising for their businesses through the Belleville Chamber's resources. Along with a weekly email update which can be used to promote any events a member's business might be having, each member receives a free listing in the online business directory on the Greater Belleville Chamber of Commerce's website. Need a new hire or want to promote a company event? Promote it for free in The Chamber Connection!
7. Awards & Events
There's a lot happening in the city of Belleville, and the one of many members' favorite things about joining the Chamber is the fun they have celebrating local achievements. From annual awards and silent auctions to veteran dinners and holiday fun, there is always something happening in this town, and the members are the first to enjoy it! Check out this year's calendar to see what we exciting events we have coming up!
8. Sponsorship Opportunities
Sponsoring an event is not only a great way to help the community, but it also helps to promote your company and its mission. There are several events throughout the year that are available for sponsorship by members, and for each event hosted, the visibility of a member's business is increased immensely! Not only do members get to attend an event or party, but their careers benefit from it as well.
At the end of the day, being a member on the chamber is ultimately about people and the town your serve. Watch this quick video to meet some of your neighbors in Belleville and see what the town means to them:

"Anima", Virginia Peck's painted Journal III, is published
This piece was written as a Foreword for "Anima", the printed edition of the third of Virginia Peck's handpainted journals, which was published on December 3, 2010.
Reception 17:00 – 19:30 at Gallery 1581, Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis, 1581 Beacon Street, Brookline, MA 02446. Telephone: +1 (617) 277-3915.
Once, in a car boot sale, I found an old novel. Its cover was mostly torn away revealing a title page with a handwritten dedication, slowly dissolving in an English drizzle-mist: a wretched sight to anyone who loves books. All books are valuable. There is always something interesting about them. If not the text it might be an engraving, or the type, or the old advertisements you sometimes find before the endpapers.
I picked up this damp, unloved novel and found to my astonishment that it was one of my own. The blue blurring lines had been written for a friend. Such humbling moments are no doubt good for us, but not too often. I still have that book. I'm looking at it as I write this, and thinking that such a miserable tome could have no kinder fate than to be picked up, not by its author, but by a stranger, a passerby with a rare and restless genius, who would give it new life as a ravishing work of art.
You'll gather I'm a fan. I admire – no, love – nay, adore – Virginia Peck's hand-painted Journals, but I don't believe a word of her story.
Virginia says that one day, finding a discarded copy of Natural Light, a novel by Ethel Gorham, she was seized by the idea that she would take it home and use it as a sketchbook. Virginia had not read the novel, and was not interested in trying to make images out of what was written on the page. Rather she would begin workinging by instinct, almost with eyes closed, waiting for what would come, and when shapes appeared in the paint, in the layers of colour and the brushstrokes, she would work with them, and let them become whatever wanted to emerge.
Her first Journal quickly filled with marvellous images. A blue lady stares out at us with startled eyes. What is she seeing? Driftwood sculptures are heaped together, a ring of them, like dancers, or a wood-henge washed in by the tide. Bacchantes abandon themselves to dance watched by a pair of still Pharoah hounds. A pensive youth, looking a lot like Raphael's portrait of Agnolo Doni huddles next to an exotic tribal face. What is going on here?
I first saw these pictures as small images, neat rectangles on a web page. Even then they filled me with excitement. Inside were wonderful things, fizzing with life and energy, and so exhilarating to paint that Virginia found herself unable to wait for the pages to dry, and had to start working in a second book.
Journal II (John Fowles' The French Lieutenant's Woman) seems more reflective, but is no less brilliant. A mad tiger lifts its head and cries defiance, there's an excellent frog and a zebra caught in a maelstrom of colour. Most of the pages are given to dancing couples and pairs of heads. Two nudes rest against a wall. I could swear that the one on the right is pointing a gun but her hand is empty.
