Late President Mills To Be Buried Near The Castle - Prez Mahama
03 August 2012
President John Dramani Mahama has decided that Late President John Evan Atta Mills be laid to rest on Friday August 10th at a specially designated place between the Castle Drive and the Marine Drive in Accra.
A statement signed by Mr Totobi Quakyi, Chairman of the Funeral Planning Committee on Thursday night, said President Mahama took the decision upon the recommendation of the Committee.
The burial place, the statement said, would subsequently be developed into a Presidential Mausoleum.

text: This paper discusses how several stakeholders in a public e-service development project consider a future e-service and expected changes in administrative processes and working routines. Our findings indicate a much more multifaceted view than the common win-win situation, with increased quality for citizens and increased efficiency for agencies, which is rhetorically put forth as an effect of public e-service implementation. We have studied a development project resulting in an e-service for handling student anonymity when marking written exams in higher education. In this case we have identified five distinct stakeholder groups related to this e-service; students, teachers, course administrators, exam guards, and the university at an agency level. All of them having certain expectations and fears about the new situation. By presenting this diversity in opinions we add further understanding to the notion of e-services as being more or less beneficial for certain stakeholders.

Thanks for all the pix.
No problem.
Thanks and Happy New Year!
Thanks, Happy New Year to you too.
What's with that series of Yankee logos (visible in the 13th and 14th pics from the top especially)? Is the strip going to stay with the logos like that, or is it like a banner scoreboard? Looks kinda cool.
Yes it a banner scoreboards.
Very cool. I'm still opposed to the new stadium (especially after watching that new movie that came out about Y.S, THE CATHEDRAL OF BASEBALL i think it's called), but the new one really does look nice.
I had no clue there were gonna be scoreboards right there where the OF wall would be... hopefully not many balls get stuck in it...
The manual scoreboards built into the walls will be covered with a chicken wire or chainlink type fence, or maybe plexiglass, as they do at many other ballparks.
Looks greaT.
the OF wall scoreboard is great - reminiscent of the old Stadium...
Man, you were quick to put these up.
I told you I'd post them as soon as I found some. I was actually about to email you to make sure you knew.
Truly great shots!
My folks live in Flushing so I frequently take the 7 into Manhattan (especially when I'm having a few adult beverages while there), and I also drive by the new place in Flushing when driving down Northern Blvd. Now I know I'm a Yankees fan so my comments might not appear too objective, but I must say that the new park in Queens looks rather ugly, especially when you view it from Northern Blvd. I bet the view from inside the park will look nice, but outside? Well....it's rather "yuk" to me.
The new Yankee Stadium blows it away as far as looks go!

Earl Grey & Strawberry Granola. Yes, it's made with ground tea leaves and it's amazing! Make sure to scroll to the bottom and enter the giveaway for a chance to win this fabulous cookbook!
It's been a while since I've reviewed a really good cookbook. Maybe because Alex and I have been busy writing one ourselves? 😉 Actually, it's been a while because I've been waiting for the right book to come along, and Heather Crosby's, Yum Universe-Pantry to Plate, was the book I've been waiting for.
When I agree to review cookbooks there are three things I look for. First, they must be plant-based, no negotiations there. Two, they need to be mostly healthy. I say mostly because once in a while we need to cut loose a little and live on the edge. Three, the recipes need to speak to me. I don't want to waste my time trying recipes that don't work out and/or don't taste amazing, and I certainly don't want to share anything less than fabulous with you. Clearly, since I'm sharing Heather's cookbook with you, she has ticked all of the boxes in my must haves before I review a book.
Pantry to Plate is a unique and helpful cookbook that was so much fun for me to read because it's all about the way I cook. Freestyle. Heather explains how to open your pantry/refrigerator, look at what you've got, and use those ingredients to create an easy, healthy, and delicious meal in no time. It helps take away the mystery of creative cooking, and if you follow her simple suggestions, it will help you eliminate waste and save you money.
Heather takes the guesswork out of creating a meal from what you have, and she shows you how to put a flavor palate together by balancing out the five basic tastes:
- Salty
- Sweet
- Sour
- Bitter
- Umami
She also explains how to create certain flavors with aromatics, for example, if you want to make a French inspired dish you'd start with a base of oil, onions, carrots, and celery. After the base you'd add one or more of the "supporting cast," parsley, thyme, bay leaf, and Herbes de Provence. She goes on to explain six more flavor profiles that will help you whip up the tastiest dishes no matter what you're in the mood for.
The best part of Pantry to Plate are the templates that Heather created for the different types of recipes in her book. I'll use her section on scrambles as an example. She has three different scrambles recipes in her breakfast chapter. The template starts with the must haves, such as a healthy oil, garlic, and sea salt, then she gives you a list of dense veggies, like sweet potatoes, winter squash, beets, or potatoes. Those are the starters for a successful vegan scramble, then you move on to the veggies and texture section, so you could pick two or more veggies and one or more texture ingredients, such as oats, beans, lentils, etc,. Next up are greens, then a sauce or seasoning, and finally, the finishing touches, like cracked black pepper, cashew cream, scallions, and more.
The template is genius, because you can learn how to build a meal out of the things you probably have in your pantry and fridge. It gives you an outline on how to customize a scramble, granola, soup, salads, tacos, and so many other favorite dishes.
You'll find everything from breakfast to dessert in this easy to read and oh so helpful cookbook, including measurements and conversions, basic cooking techniques, tips and tricks, and tools and ingredients. If you're the kind of person who loves to cook but gets stuck if you don't have a recipe sitting in front of you, this book is for you.
When I got my hands on Heather's new book I dove right in and started bookmarking all of the recipes I wanted to try, my short list consists of the following: Meyer (great name-ha!) Lemon Waffles with Maple-Blackberry Compote, Hearty Chickpea Stew, Mushroom & Sage Lasagna, and Bourbon Salted Chocolate-Pecan Cluster "Nice" Cream. I started with the Earl Grey & Strawberry Granola first because I had all of the ingredients, and I love homemade granola.
Heather's granola recipe is seriously incredibly delicious! The tart dried strawberries compliment the hint of sea salt and the sweet Bee Free Honee and maple syrup that I used (flavor palate) to make mine 100% vegan. And the combination of sunflower seeds, pepitas, and almonds give it an exciting crunch. This is the kind of granola that actually sticks together, so you get nice big clusters. Totally my kind of granola.
Eating this yummy homemade strawberry and Earl Grey tea granola made me so happy, and best of all, it's filled with so many healthy nutrients.
Because I love this book so much, and Heather is so generous, we're hosting a giveaway! Register below for the chance to win a copy of Pantry to Plate, and of course, make sure you order one too (click here to order). It would make a wonderful gift.

Timber Creek slot receiver Javonte Seabury, who committed to FIU last summer, said he has grown a bit impatient with the lack of attention from the Panthers' coaching staff and when his official visit was recently last week, that was it.
The 5-foot-9, 160-pound Seabury, who is the No. 32-ranked player in the Sentinel's 2014 Central Florida Super60, decommitted from his FIU pledge on Monday, calling recruiter Kort Shankweiler, FIU's tight ends and offensive tackles coach, to inform him of the news.
"They had canceled my visit for some reason last weekend and they said they'd let me know when they rescheduled and they never let me know," Seabury said. "They weren't showing me interest like I thought they would ... after I committed it was like, 'Oh we got him, we don't have to worry about him now.' "
Shankweiler, to his credit, did show up for two different Timber Creek games this season, but Seabury looks to have made up his mind. He is now looking to set up a visit this weekend and is tentatively slated to go to Tulane, although that has not been solidified.
He committed to Florida State last summer, but then pulled back from that pledge to commit to FIU. Seabury said he still talks to FSU coaches, but the Seminoles' 2014 class is likely full with the exception of key targets still on the board. He also had previous offers from Kent State and Miami. The Hurricanes' class is also quite full at this point.
Kent State has just 12 commits and Tulane has 22. He also said FAU could be a consideration.
As for FIU, he said he's done with the Panthers.
"I'm not disappointed, I'm just opening my recruiting back up," Seabury said. "I'm just exploring my options before signing day. I know I don't have to, but I'd rather figure it out before signing day because I want to sign on signing day. ... we'll see. I may surprise people. You never know."

Gateau de courgettes a la menthe
Minty courgettes loaf
Ingredients list:
Courgettes 500g
Onion 1 small
Cream cheese1 big tbsp
Crème fraiche 1 tbsp
100g feta cheese
Oil for the dish
4 eggs
Salt and pepper to taste
1 bunch of mint
Grate the unpeeled courgettes and brown them with a bit of olive oil and the diced onion. Stir and simmer on low heat until all water has evaporated from the vegetables.
Whisk the eggs in a bowl, then mix the cream and cream cheese with the salt and pepper. Incorporate the feta by crumbling it in between your fingers. Add the chopped mint – I also used some dried mint flowers I had bought in Greece some time ago and found it still smelt wonderful! Like Thyme flowers, this is a very special ingredient if you happen to find it in a market on holiday or to collect it yourself.
Mix in the grated courgette after chewing on a morsel to make sure they are not bitter. One bitter courgette can ruin a whole dish…
Butter your tin, pour the preparation inside and put in a warm oven (170° C.)for about 30 min. Serve cold with a tomato coulis (cold tomato sauce) or hot tomato sauce.
A perfect picnic dish bringing back wonderful memories of Greek holidays and sunshine, of finger-food on the boat and al-fresco lunches in sea-side tavernas.
This is the best thing about food: you may travel on the smell of a dish or on a forgotten taste suddenly rediscovered as if it were on a flying carpet. You get a whiff of wild mint and suddenly you are spread-eagle on a soft meadow bed, looking at the clouds overhead and chewing a wild fennel stem.

Tiger rock trainers for would be little tigers by Feiyue, well their official name is Delta mid x Milk On The Rocks
Feiyue apparently means to fly forward named after the Shaolin monks and Kung Fu Masters who were the trainers first adoptees when made in a little shoe factory in Shanghai the1920s. The trainers are famed for their flexibility, I am hoping this translates to their children's trainers too? They started being designed in 2006 with a French team for that extra bit of rooooar.

It's been a long wait, but the company formerly known as RIM has finally released its first BlackBerry 10 smartphone in the U.S. Available starting today for AT&T, the BlackBerry Z10 costs $199 with a two-year contract. The phone is expected to hit Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile some time next week.
The Z10 is a major milestone for BlackBerry, which needs the phone to be a hit in order to regain market share in the hotly contested smartphone market.
MORE: 5 Reasons Why the BlackBerry 10 Bashers Are Wrong
Prior to the smartphone's launch, BlackBerry announced its revamped Blackberry World app store had accumulated 100,000 apps. While the company reached that mark far faster than either Apple's App Store or Google's Play store, it's worth noting that BlackBerry's store is populated by many re-purposed Android apps, as well as BB 10 exclusives.
One of the biggest issues facing BlackBerry is the timing of its launch. With Samsung's recent unveiling of the Galaxy S4 and HTC's upcoming release of its new HTC One superphone, much of the momentum in the smartphone market is leaning toward Android devices. And then there's rumored iPhone 5S, which is expected to come to market later this year.
BlackBerry certainly has an uphill battle ahead of it, but for today the company can celebrate the fact that it's BlackBerry 10 device is finally reaching consumers' hands.

Experiencing an authorized course will assist you to buy your ft . in the doorway of this exciting profession where you could generate up to twenty bucks one hour beginning. Most likely the greatest advantage of this sort of profession is always that you may work from your home which supplies the freedom to put your very own several hours- with a number of constraints obviously. Transcription India provides exceptional service on the consumers and also this has triggered a number of people international outsource their work to transcription companies in India. Apart from the professionalism is because these services are available at extremely affordable prices and when companies abroad outsource their work to companies in India they get it done at cheaper rates due to the difference in the conversion rates another reason.

Just because Aqovd.com looks like a reliable search engine, it does not mean you have a reason to trust it. The ugly truth is that Aqovd.com is a browser hijacker that enters your computer when you download and install freeware applications. You should not tolerate this program because it modifies your browser settings without your permission. The sooner you remove Aqovd.com from your system, the better. There is no saying what could happen if this browser hijacker gets exploited by cyber criminals. Thus, you need to stop this from happening in the earliest stages of a malware infection.
The reason users may consider Aqovd.com a reliable search engine is that this browser hijacker really provides you with an actual search service. What's more, it also offers you shortcuts to the most frequently visited websites, related to videos, games, and shopping. However, all these links up there added in order to help the people behind Aqovd.com generate financial profit. Each time you increase the traffic count for an affiliated website, the Aqovd.com developers get paid through the pay-per-click system. Although this kind of practice is not illegal, there is nothing in it for you. Not to mention that a browser hijacker is a dangerous infection in the first place, so you should not wait any longer.
If you do not remove Aqovd.com from your system, you can be sure that sooner, rather than later, you will be redirected to unreliable websites that are related to malware distribution networks. We are not trying to say that Aqovd.com wants to infect you with malware on purpose. The problem is that browser hijackers can be easily exploited by cyber criminals to distribute corrupted content or collect information on your browsing history. In fact, Aqovd.com gathers such information automatically, once it gets installed on your PC. Browser hijackers employ tracking cookies to keep tabs on your web browsing habits. This is definitely an alarming practice, so you have yet another reason to delete Aqovd.com at once!
As far as the hijacker's origins are concerned, Aqovd.com is created by the same team of developers as Top8844.com, gamegogle.com, jogostempo.com, and 123rede.com hijackers. The installer file for this infection is signed by Beijing Gaojiaoxintu Technology Co., but it does not mean that this is the name of the developing company. For all it's worth, the digital signature might be fake as well. This just shows that Aqovd.com belongs to a group of notorious infections that should be terminated as soon as possible.
There is also a good chance that you have several other unwanted applications on your computer because Aqovd.com cannot be distributed directly. To detect and remove all the potential threats, you should scan your system with a reliable antispyware tool. We also provide instructions below on how to restore your browser settings, but we would like to point out that it may not be enough to protect your PC from harm. The best way to ensure your system's security is to acquire a computer security application of your choice.

When I around ten or twelve years old I was interested in astronomy, anatomy, dinosaurs, insects, and Lego. So when I learned that all matter is composed of molecules which are composed of atoms, all of which are listed on something called The Periodic Table, I was instantly fascinated. All those elements laid out in that block grid like some alphanumeric skyline… Some of the elements were familiar but many sounded strange and exotic, like Gallium, Osmium, or Technetium… For myself, and I'm sure for anyone who became an Element Collector, the periodic table embodied a kind of completeness – a masterlist of the ingredients for everything there is, was, and likely will ever be.
So among my collections of fossils, mounted insects, and Lego, it seemed perfectly natural to start up an element collection. I didn't get very far. In the 1980s, before the internet and sites like Metallium or Element Displays obtaining pure samples of elements would have been more difficult. While I'm sure there were, at the time, various science supply stores and the like to aid in furnishing an aspiring element collector, any purchases would have likely been carried out through some mail order catalogue, and often sight unseen. Hardly the convenience and immediacy of today's on-line ordering of goods. But this never occurred to me, as a 12 year old boy with a very limited weekly allowance. Indeed, I set about obtaining various materials and objects known to be made of or contain, at least to some degree, the element I sought. Naturally I was most interested in obtaining the purest form of the element, but I quickly realized that this was not always possible. I actively collected for a couple of years, during grades 6 and 7 at school…
From the depths of my memory this is what I recall of my first and only element collection:
I believe I had a small jar/vial of the gas obtained from a simple chemical experiment done in the kitchen, although I can't remember what the reactive ingredients were…
A helium filled balloon was the obvious choice, but of course the gas gradually escaped leaving me with an empty limp balloon skin.
A piece of Beryl
A piece of carbon paper
My Dad helped me obtain this; first we fixed a small candle to the inside of a jar lid. The candle was lit and the lid was sealed onto the jar, held upside-down, with the candle still burning. After a few seconds the flame went out and then the jar, still upside-down, was opened. After a few seconds the lid was put back on the jar. The idea was that the flame would convert the oxygen inside the jar to carbon dioxide which would then fall out of the opened upside-down jar. The remaining gas left in the sealed jar would presumably be (mostly) nitrogen.
An octahedral cleavage of Fluorite
Table salt
A strip of pure magnesium pilfered from science class
A piece of aluminium foil
I recall having a disc of silicon, it was very thin, slightly smaller than a CD in diameter, and mostly circular except for a couple inches of a straight edge. It was my understanding that it was an example of stock material used in the manufacture of computer processor chips. This example was really brittle, and it didn't take long before it was reduced to a number of splinters.
A book of matches
As a powder in a reused tic-tac container
A seashell
I can't remember exactly what the item was, but it had chrome plating
Some iron filings, can't remember where I got them; I believe a ball bearing was also included
This was a vial of cobalt chloride (most likely hexahydrate) from my junior chemistry set.
At first I used a nickel coin. Later I acquired a cluster of those man-made nickel crystals that some unscrupulous mineral dealers try to pass off as "natural."
A penny
A zinc (plated) screw/nut
A tarnished silverware fork that bore the chew-marks of having been caught in the garburator
I have a feeling that I had a small exhausted nickel-cadmium battery for this one…
I can't recall the exact item I had for this element, other than it was some small metal container as a "tin." In retrospect, it's most likely it wasn't tin at all.
Light bulb
The backing of a gold earring
I stole a thermometer from my science class, broke it open, and kept the liberated mercury in a sealed jar that once held baby food
Some of the excess trim/flashing from those miniature Dungeons & Dragons figures sculpted of lead
The entire collection resided inside a bureau, on top of a large chemistry book that was left open to the pages showing the periodic table, every example I had placed on the appropriate square. After a couple years the collection fell into gradual disarray as things do when you're young… I moved on to collecting other things like comic books and World War One medals/memorabilia. As for my element collection, most of the samples got thrown out – don't know what happened to some of the more toxic items like the mercury..(!)
I now have a young daughter who is quite curious about the natural world around her. Should she be interested enough in chemistry or the elements to build a collection of her own then I look forward to helping her, I think it will be easier to do this time around..!

Strike Witches Anime Confirmed for TV Relaunch in 2008
The official website for the Strike Witches anime has confirmed that the video project is being relaunched for television in 2008. The project will also get a manga serialization that will begin in the March issue (on sale on January 25) of Kadokawa's Comp Ace magazine. Kunihisa Sugishima (Speed Grapher, Nabari no Ou) directed the original video which the media companies Gonzo and Kadokawa Shoten released on January 1 of this year. Kadokawa Shoten's Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko imprint published one prequel novel and one volume of the anime's novelization.
I said it then and I say it again: With the concept of featuring Kemonomini girls who can transform into WW2 Aircrafts I just can't see what could possible go wrong for this anime!

Glynis Barber in Villain DeBlanks - 3rd September
Sunday 3rd September 2017
Brasserie Zedel, 20 Sherwood St, Soho, London W1F 7ED
Glynis Barber stars in the London debut of Billy Mitchell's improvisational comdedy Villain DeBlanks, where the cast says the words provided by the audience!
The audience provides nouns, adjectives and verbs (the wilder, the better), and the actors provide the laughs - uncensored and unrehearsed - as they enact the story of the untimely demise of Philip DeBlank. Villain DeBlanks has the best of both worlds: audience input and on-the-spot improvisation.
"You'll laugh your (BODY PART) ____ off!"
One night only, with proceeds going to the charity TheatreMAD

It does not feel possible to be at the end of this course, honestly, I just feel like I was beginning. Although the course is technically over, I am forever changed as an educator.
This course has had the largest impact on me, personally and professionally, from any of the courses that I have taken from Alec and Katia. And I am kind of sad that I won't be taking any more courses from them, as there are too many things that I have come to know as routine. But while reflecting on what to write in this post, I have realized that even though we will officially be done the course as a group, the things that I relied on will not be over. I will continue to check out twitter (something I still need to practice and do more of, I just find that I get sucked into the "twitter vortex" once I go on, I am consumed for hours!). Staying on twitter, getting better at it, will allow me to continue networking with my fellow 834 classmates. I will continue to follow blogs of teachers that I have come to know. Logan's blog is more than just a series of posts for class, I learn from the classes that he teaches (and I secretly feel he is the next Bozeman Science with a Crash Course twist, plus how else would I keep up with how many cats he has?).

We were tasked with what felt like an impossible, yet exciting, task. Create a course module for a class that you (currently or hypothetically) teach. I thought that I would begin with a science 10 module, but the began creating my prototype for the Environmental Science 20 advanced placement course that I am currently teaching. I was already creating an asynchronous course, why not apply the tools that I learn in this class while getting real time feedback from my students? Over the course of three months my course grew and grew. I created a course for what I knew my students needed this semester. My course profile explains in further detail my thought process.
At the start of the EC&I 834, we were asked to list three goals that we had for ourselves….mine changed throughout the course, and that is OKAY because my thoughts about the course evolved. During the second week, I began to research different LMS platforms that would be user friendly and supported by my administration and school division.
By the end of the third week, I had decided upon which LMS platform I wanted to use – Canvas. Although at that point I still thought I would be designing a prototype for Science 10, not APES20 (oops…) 🙂
I have decided to change my focus from a class that I was not teaching towards one that I currently am, I mean, why work harder? This week I began to play with EdPuzzle and created my first Vlog using Screencastify. This was a big deal to me as I am very introverted away from the classroom, my confidence is slowly but steadily growing!
I began feeling more comfortable with using multiple media channels in my lessons. Like a game of Duck, Duck, Goose; I tried to improve upon my strategies each week!
One of the new tools that I discovered in the following week was mysimpleshow – at the time of creating and playing with this new tool it was AMAZING and user friendly (note – you can now now longer use your own voice for your simple show, you must use their robotic voice – this does not work for upper level science classes. I have since emailed the creators of mysimpleshow and received a response as to why this is)!
I began to get very comfortable with my course prototype, while at the same time feeling like I was going off the rails simply because I was becoming overwhelmed with trying to implement everything that we were learning into my prototype – this I later learned was just not realistic! And…I was just a bit intimidated by the amazing work that I was reading on my classmates blogs…confidence declining at this point.
We were asked to think about which we preferred, open vs. closed forums. In hindsight, this may have been the most revolutionary blog topic for me, as I self-reflected on the type of learner and participant I was versus the one that I want to be. The doors to blended learning were blown WIDE OPEN for me and I was able to really connect with what I was creating.
Finally we were at the end, yes, I was EXHAUSTED (maybe learning how to create a course prototype while teaching the course at the same time was not the brightest idea I have had – BUT the most productive at the same time). In fact, if I had not created a blended learning prototype while teaching the class, I would not have had a realistic idea of how much time and effort needed to be put into creating quality lessons that my students deserved!
Overall, I am very satisfied with my course – and the students taking it seem to be enjoying it and doing very well, but I really won't know until after May 1st when they write their college exam and I ask for a reflection on the course from them. I received very valuable feedback from my reviewers – information which I have taken quite a bit of time to reflect upon:
- In class, I always use a peer/self evaluation form for my students because I feel that it is important for students to self-reflect on their product. I never complete this form because I have a rubric for the product created that I would use and I should have included this rubric – this was an oversight on my part, one that I will correct before next semester begins.
- I did not consider the low bandwidth issues as I do have my students working at the back of the classroom – and the community I work in is unlike any other – these students are very fortunate to have tools to allow them to be successful (whatever they need) provided to them by the school as well as their parents. All of my modules are created using Google Slides – if there were a low bandwidth issue the students could always download the entire unit and keep it on their personal laptops, decreasing the need for bandwidth as it could be exported and saved as a powerpoint. The only issue that may arise from home is if the students were unable to connect to they hyperlinks – buffering issues may happen. But again, these are advanced placement kids, they would then need to come to school ahead of time or stay later to access the school's internet access if they ran into these problems – I do have certain expectations for them, and these expectations are above and beyond for my regular stream students.
- I also did not consider EAL students – if you are registered in an AP course – you need to know the English language. This course is not designed for EAL. This course is designed for above average grade 11 students with a strong work ethic and academic ability.
- I did include cultural consideration in my course as I do include FNMI teaching within the module. As far as other cultural considerations, again, this is an AP course and it has been designed for students from all areas of North America to be taught as a cohesive student unit.
- The mention of not addressing socioeconomic status really made me reflect – I have not asked any of my students to use technology other than a computer or smartphone. If the students do not have a computer to access at school or their place of learning, this course may not work for them, however I do have students who are more comfortable viewing the course and working on it on their phones, so I do know that a computer is not the only way to access the module.
- Just to clarify, activities within the modules were designed using EdPuzzle, which I am able to track student progress and success through the website itself.
- It was mentioned in the feedback that the course profile was written as a "this is what I do" more so than a "this is why I do" – and the reviewer is correct, it is simply because the course is already up and running. However, including my educational pedagogy within the course profile is a very good thing for me to include and I will look at implementing this for next semester in writing and not verbally as I was able to speak to my students face-to-face (in person or over Zoom).
As this course is running currently – I am hesitant to give out login information over the "web" as I do have concerns that portions of the course could inadvertently be changed (I will provide an instructor log in for grading purposes) before my students are finished studying for their college exam.
BTW: My celebration of learning is also complete! Yay!!!

If you live or work in rural or regional Australia and are more than 20 minutes from medical help the chance of surviving a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) are a less than one in 10.
The confronting statistics have prompted a call from the head of the Rural Doctors Association of Queensland (RDAQ) Foundation Adam Coltzau urging rural families and agricultural businesses to consider investing in their own Automated External defibrillator (AED).
"If you live on a rural property having a defibrillator may be your best and only chance of surviving a cardiac arrest," he said.
As part of a campaign to highlight how defibrillators can save lives the RDAQ Foundation have joined forces with St John Ambulance for Beef Australia 2018 in Rockhampton. From May 7-10 the two organisations will conduct demonstrations of defibrillators and offer a special price on defibrillator purchases and training packages.
St John Ambulance Queensland CEO, Alex Hutton said heart disease is Australia's No.1 killer and it takes a precious life every 26 minutes. In many people this is sudden and without warning. Sudden cardiac death happens as a result of a cardiac arrest and can happen to people of all ages.
There is no national registry of sudden cardiac death, but the National Heart Foundation estimates suggest around 15,000 people die unexpectedly in Australia from sudden cardiac death every year.
This equates to around 10% of all Australian deaths that occur every year (153,000). Sudden cardiac death rates have not declined in Australia at the same rate as other heart related deaths.
"Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, anywhere, anytime, no matter what their age or gender," Mr Hutton said.
"For every passing minute without a defibrillator (AED) shock, the chance of survival reduces by ten percent – and with the average response time from an ambulance being 9-14 minutes, defibrillators can save lives. Without a defibrillator close by, the survival rate for cardiac arrest is somewhere between two and five percent."
Dr Coltzau said defibrillators had now become more affordable and could be purchased for around $2,000, roughly the same price as a pump, a new tank, or a stock saddle.
"You can replace farm machinery, but you can't replace human life. A defibrillator can save your life or the life of someone you love so it is definitely an investment worth considering if you live more than 20 minutes from medical help," he said.
"Training in CPR and an up-to-date first aid kit are also critical to ensuring rural workplaces are as safe as possible and improving the outcomes for medical emergencies like cardiac arrest."
Dr Coltzau said surviving a cardiac arrest hinged on knowing three things:
"A defibrillator (AED) can analyse a person's heart rhythm and deliver a shock to the heart to get it back into a normal rhythm and beating properly. The earlier an AED is applied and a shock delivered the better the chance of survival," Dr Coltzau said.
"Defibrillators have advanced technology and will not let you shock someone who does not need it. The calm automated voice talks you through each the steps in the process and some even help coach CPR.
"A defibrillator can save your life. There is no question about that, people just need to be aware of the risks that come with their location and know these units are now available at affordable prices."
During Beef Australia 2018, the RDAQ Foundation and St John Ambulance will be offering discount packages on defibrillators and training packages.
St John Ambulance AED's start at just $2,099 for the Phillips Heartstart HS1 (valued at $2,482) – the Beef Australia 2018 special offer on this AED Bundle includes the HS1 AED Unit (M50667A), AED Metal Bracket branded St John Ambulance, AED Sign and DRSABCD Action Plan poster.
"Having a lifesaving defibrillator on your property gives you peace of mind and importantly the best possible chance of survival in the event of a cardiac arrest," Dr Coltzau said.
Defibrillators save lives
Dr Adam Coltzau is Chair of the RDAQ Foundation and President of the Rural Doctors Association of Australia. He is a rural doctor from St George in south western Queensland.
St John Ambulance is a self-funded charitable organisation with one dedicated purpose and vision - partnering with every Queenslander for their first aid and community social support needs, and being the leading provider of these services.

4 Incredible Tips To Help You Take Care Of Your Car
I'm willing to bet that you've just bought yourself a new car. And, you want to know how to keep it in good condition? Well, follow these tips to do just that:
(pixabay: https://goo.gl/aFM5np)
Clean It Regularly
Cleaning your car is a great way to ensure it lasts long and runs properly. You'll be amazed at how many cars break down because of poor cleaning regimes. When a car isn't clean, then dirt can get into lots of important places, like the engine. Plus, dirt can quickly turn to rust that will ruin things like your brakes and wheels. All of this damage can be avoided if you just clean your car regularly. Take it to a car wash or clean it yourself. Make sure you do this at least once a month, possibly more during bouts of bad weather.
(Source: https://goo.gl/j9IwDS)
Get It Serviced
If you want to take care of your car, then you need to get it serviced. Taking your car in for servicing will ensure that everything runs properly and is working as it should be. Usually, you need to service your car a couple of times per year. I recommend you do this, and, take it in for servicing if you ever have any problems. It's better to get your car checked out when you notice a slight problem, rather than carry on as usual. Tiny problems can soon turn into huge ones that cost loads of money.

Drive Safe, Avoid Accidents!
The worst thing you can do to your car gets into an accident. When this happens, you're going to end up with a damaged vehicle. Sometimes, damages can be so severe that your car is written off beyond repair. And, you're also going to be putting yourself and other drivers at risk. On the Clay Burgess website, it says nearly three million people are injured in motor accidents each year. So, you better make sure you're driving safe and preventing these from happening. An easy way to drive safely is to pay attention to the road signs and laws. Don't go speeding in pedestrian zones and don't try and overtake cars on a single road.

Safe Storage
When you're at home, you need to have your car parked somewhere. If you're lucky, you'll have a garage, which is perfect! Garages mean your car is safely stored away and protected from the elements and anything that could damage it. However, if you don't have a garage, then there are some measure you can take. For example, you should get a car cover to shield your vehicle from rain and cold weather. If you have a driveway, then you should get a big gate that can close and stop people from entering and damaging your car.
By applying these tips, you'll ensure that your car stays in a good condition for ages. If you're taking care of your vehicle, then it minimizes the chances of any breakdowns. You can end up saving lots of money in repair costs if your car is kept in peak condition for as long as possible. Plus, when you sell it, you'll get more money for it.

Fania proudly presents the latest release in the Hammock House series. The Lower East Side features remixes that define the essence of the NYC experience, especially those where traditional Latin rhythms converge with House and other Dance/Electronica rhythms and beats. The combination of vintage Fania tracks with electronica beats and a new millennium sensibility is a marriage made in heaven, as demonstrated by previous installments in our groundbreaking Hammock House series. This month, Fania is proud to elevate the Hammock House brand into a new level of creativity with the release of Lower East Side - an eclectic feast of funky rhythms, cumbia grooves, sensuous electronic textures and remixed Héctor Lavoe vocal lines. We gave four different DJ/producers access to Fania's treasure vaults: the original multitrack master tapes from recordings by such classic artists as Hector Lavoe, Ray Barretto, Justo Betancourt and Ismael Rivera. The results underscore the timeless vitality of the original tracks. Toy Selectah - a former member of Mexican rap collective Control Machete - has turned Héctor Lavoe's "Aguanile" into a hypnotic masterpiece of tribal beats. Boston-based duo The Whiskey Barons do justice to Ray Barretto classics and add psychedelic cumbia undertones to Justo Betancourt's "Cataño." And Colombian female DJ Isa GT underscores the beauty of 'Maelo' Rivera's vocals on her minimalistic take of Tite Curet Alonso's "Las Caras Lindas." A not-to-be-missed album for Latin electronica collectors, Lower East Side is also recommended for those salsa fans who would like to discover the allure of electronica - and its ongoing quest to keep the beauty of salsa and boogaloo alive. Lower East Side is available as a digital download and also as a gorgeous limited edition LP.Fania se enorgullece en presentar la última versión de la serie Hammock House. El Lower East Side cuenta con remixes que definen la esencia de la experiencia de Nueva York, especialmente aquellos en los ritmos latinos tradicionales convergen con la casa y otros Dance / Electronica ritmos y tiempos.

Yeah, I know. I kind of went Sgt Pepper's on these photos. January will do that to me. Lack of light, lack of warmth, lack of photographer. The trifecta. But let's play Where's Waldo and find my garment in this riotous, ham handed, amateur photoshopped collage!
Can you find the rectangle of sweater knit above? That's my "self drafted" H&M knockoff, made with some famous designer novelty knit (similar here). I succumbed to Black Friday and bought a couple of drapey sweaters at The Beast, and upon further perusal, found they were really two large rectangles with two small rectangles attached at midarm for sleeves. Four rectangles. I CAN SELF DRAFT THAT.
The RTW sweater has ribbing, but my neckline is self faced, hems & such turned under and carefully catchstitched.
Oddly enough, the color of the sweater is washed out here. In this field of neon flowers, GO FIGURE.
But the skirt is literally this bright in real life! (I also walk in fields of giant moss under a sun made of godzilla sized petals IRL, it's pretty awesome.)
This super nubbly tweedy tactile boucle was swooped up at Mood Fabrics NY, top floor. (Similar here.) I obsessed over it for several weeks before deciding to give it a try with a virgin pattern, Vogue 8773. No muslin no waiting. Luckily for me & my boucle, an instant TNT!
Let's go find Waldo again! Can you find the flowers inside my skirt? No, that's not a clone stamped flower petal*, that's some Oscar De La Renta silk organza underlining! Plays nicely with the inside of my brain though, doesn't it? It also gives the skirt a wonderful weight, and helps the loose weave hold the shape of this six paneled pencil skirt.
*no fabrics were harmed in the 'shopping of these photos. Some psyches may be harmed by the viewing of them.

There's a great scene at the end of "Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark." After risking his life countless times to find the Ark of the Covenant, Jones hands the chest over to the government. He is assured that the government has its "top men" working on it, but in a classic epilogue, we see the precious artifact being stored in a giant warehouse among thousands of similarly non-descript crates, no doubt to be forgotten there.
That seems to be what happened to some moon dust samples collected by astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin during the Apollo 11 moon landing in July 1969. After spending an unprecedented amount of money on the Apollo Program ($24 billion at the time, which, according to this inflation calculator, would more than $183 billion today), making countless technological breakthroughs, and risking the lives of many astronauts, it's funny (and a bit sad) to think that the lunar samples brought back could simply be lost in some warehouse.
But that's what happened to about 20 vials of moon dust gathered by Armstrong and Aldrin. The samples were sent to the Space Sciences Laboratory at the University of California Berkeley, one of 150 laboratories that received moon rock samples. They were supposed to be sent back to NASA after the lab was done conducting experiments on them, but somehow they ended up in storage until recently when a lab archivist named Karen Nelson found them.
Karen Nelson holds the vials of moon dust she found in storage. (Photo: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory)
"They were vacuum sealed in a glass jar," said Nelson, who has worked in Berkeley Lab's Archives and Records Office for 17 years. "We don't know how or when they ended up in storage."
Nelson contacted the Space Sciences Laboratory, and officials there were surprised to learn about the existence of the moon samples. She then contacted NASA, and the agency asked that the samples be sent back. (It would be interesting to know if the Space Sciences Lab is the only lab that forgot to send moon samples back; We do know that some moon rocks were stolen for a grand romantic gesture, though.)
So after over 40 years gathering dust, the moon dust will finally find its way back to where it belongs. The real question is: Will NASA just store it somewhere and forget about it?

What a year! Triumph Transitions Institute has met so many milestones this year. When we look back at where we started to where we are now, it's simply amazing.
We started the 2013-2014 school year with one student, little funding and provisionally accredited. This year we increased our enrollment to 5 students, doubled the amount of community support, have been recommended for FULL accreditation for the 2015-2016 school year, graduated our first student, raised enough money to complete this school year, have a donor who has donated $3,000.00 for the upcoming school (2015-2016) that will be matched by Home Depot (that's $6,000- almost the amount for 1 full tuition for next year), and is now in a position to apply for SB10 funding. WoW!
We are humbled!
The above is enough to be humbled by, but we are most proud of our students. They have worked so hard and have come from such a long way both academically and socially. Some had self-esteem issues on top of academic weaknesses that prevented them from taking their next step into being independent adults who contribute to society. But we bridged the gap from their high school to their next post-secondary step.
We will miss those who will not be returning, but look forward to an awesome school year with those who will be coming back and the next group of students who will be joining us.
Farewell Ivan!
Thanks to House Bill 91, Ivan is one of 8,000 students who will now receive his high school diploma despite failing to receive it because of not being able to pass the math portion of the GGT (Georgia Graduation Test). He will be attending Georgia Military College in the fall.
Farewell Jimmy!
Jimmy is also eligible to receive his high school diploma. He helps to run the family's non-profit and works at Publix.
Farewell April!
TTI's first official graduate, April will be attending Faks Allied Health in the fall to become a Phlebotomist. She has plans of becoming a nurse eventually.
We will miss them! But we look forward to Jeremiah and Deanta's return.
Deanta has one more semester and has already been offered a full football scholarship to Grambling State University. Jeremiah is eager to attend another full school year and isn't sure what his next steps are, but we will be there to lead and guide him.
What a way to end a school year!

We try to ensure that mini-pupils spend as much time in court with members of Chambers as possible. This will usually involve an opportunity to read the brief and discuss the case with Counsel beforehand and generally, mini-pupils tackle at least one set of papers during the week. Travel expenses to and from court are reimbursed.
Applications should be made to Jenny Fensham by way of a curriculum vitae and a covering letter explaining why you wish to have a mini-pupillage at 1 Chancery Lane. We will accept applications from 1st January until 31st March for each year's intake. You will be advised during May if you have secured a place.

Masked youths stoned police outside Greece's parliament today in protest at cutbacks proposed to try to end the country's debt crisis.
Riot police responded with tear gas and baton charges as more than 7,000 demonstrators gathered in the centre of Athens. They arrested six demonstrators, while onlookers said two officers were badly beaten.
Protesters attacked the leader of Greece's biggest trade union and chased guards away from the country's tomb of the unknown soldier. Youths also fought with police inside the Council of State and tried to break into the labour ministry.
Inside parliament, politicians were debating the €4.8 billion (£4.33 billion) austerity bill, which is expected to pass despite strong opposition. It will raise consumer taxes and slash public sector workers' pay by up to 8%.

Mountains of Freedom - Jamaica's Struggle Against Slavery
Berge der Freiheit - Jamaikas Kampf gegen Sklaverei
As the last British slave ship, the George, docked in Jamaica on the 17th of February 1808, a new era began for the native «Maroons». The word Maroon comes from the Spanish «Cimarron», meaning wild, free and untamed. During more than 80 years of war with Great Britain, from 1655 to 1738, the slaves lived up to the name given to them by the slaveholders. As well as winning their freedom, they also forced Britain to sign a peace treaty - an event which is celebrated by their descendants to this day, at the beginning of January each year. At this time the largest Maroon settlement, Accompong, stirs from its usual slumber and becomes the setting for a colourful and lively festival. Many other Jamaicans, over 95 percent of whom are the descendants of African slaves, also take part in exhilarating festivities. Although the majority of Jamaicans these days are Protestants, it's the diverse African religions, which play a central role in these celebrations.

I believe the rotating schedule laid out above would have a 6 year rotating basis where you play every division member 6 times (3H, 3A) and non-division members 3 times (2 and 1). The H/A evens out over 12 years, so you would see each team 3 times in your stadium over 12 years.
Lining up the divisions (I added ND and UCF for fun)
Division 1: FSU, Miami, UCF, GT
Division 2: Duke, UNC, Wake, NCSt
Division 3: Clemson, VT, UVA, Louisville
Division 4: Pitt, Syracuse, BC, Notre Dame
From this, you have a VT schedule for the following 6 years:
Year 1: @Clem, UVA, @Louisville, FSU, @Miami, UCF, @GT, Duke, @UNC
Year 2: Clem, @UVA, Louisville, @Wake, NCSt, @Pitt, Syracuse, @BC, ND
Year 3: @Clem, UVA, @Louisville, Pitt, @Syracuse, @FSU, Miami, @UCF, GT
Year 4: Clem, @UVA, Louisville, BC, @ND, UNC, @Duke, Wake, @NCSt.
Year 5: @Clem, UVA, @Louisville, FSU, @Miami, @Pitt, Syracuse, BC, @ND
Year 6: Clem, @UVA, Louisville, UCF, @GT, @UNC, Duke, @Wake, NCSt.
Years 7-12: Flip the Home and away for each team.
Now you can argue who you want in what division, I don't care, but that's how it would all lay out for those that would want to see it. More rotating opponents will be beneficial for the conference in terms of good teams meeting up more often. Seems to me it's a pretty even way for fans, even way for teams, and when 2 divisions are tougher than the rest, it will show in the standings as you play around a bit.

2011 is slowly drawing to a close and since it is never too early to start thinking about resolutions, I have decided to make up my own list of rules that I need to adhere if I want to become a more prolific writer. This short list is mainly based on other pieces of writing advice as well as observations on my own writing habits. After some thought, I believe these are the rules that make the most sense for me personally. Some of these may be painfully obvious when you read it, but just because something is obvious doesn't mean that I will necessarily do it, so it's always good to write them down as a reminder. Speaking of obvious…
1. Stop procrastinating
We might as well get the most obvious one out of the way immediately: that is to stop procrastinating. My MBTI type is INFP. If it was possible to pursue a career in procrastination, INFP's will probably be the leading experts within that field.
The only real answer to this issue is that I should become more disciplined. I have proven in the past that I am capable of doing that, albeit in short spurts. For the last few weeks, I have been setting aside a couple of hours on Saturday and Sunday to write. It's not yet close to where I want to be in the end, but it's a good start and it's exactly the type of discipline I need. Now I have to slowly expand the amount of time I spend on writing until I am fully into the habit of writing almost every day.
Registering for writing classes can be greatly beneficial as well. I've already signed up for an online one starting from December 15th, and I intend to return to the Writers Studio next term in January. I'm also thinking about going to a writing retreat next year instead of going on a normal vacation.
2. Spend less time working
To spend more time on writing, that means I have to spend less time on other activities. I admit I still waste too much time browsing the Internet aimlessly and checking Facebook updates, so there are some quick wins there. However, the real potential gain is the amount of time I spend on working. For the last couple of months with a few exceptions, I basically wake up around 7:00 – 7:30 am before heading off to work 30 minutes later, and by the time I get home it is already 8 pm. By the time I have dinner, it's around 9 pm. On top of that, I regularly work a couple of extra hours during the weekend. I like my job and all, but this is just too much. And it's not just the time I actually spend on working, but I find myself mentally completely drained during the evenings, and I have trouble thinking straight, let alone writing anything half-decent (hence all the aimless Internet browsing).
So starting from January 1st 2012, I vow to work a normal 40 hours a week, and only more if absolutely necessary. That will leave me with much more time and energy to write (not to mention other activities like ironing my clothes or cleaning the house once in a while).
3. Focus, focus, focus!
I often find my thoughts jumping from project to project when I'm writing. I would try to write a certain story, but then I keep thinking about all the other stuff I want to write about. It could be other stories I plan to write somewhere down the line. It could be something I plan to write for my blog. Or it could be an idea I just came up with. The result? I end up spreading myself too thin and I am not able to make any significant progress on any single project.
As is often the case with me, the solution really just boils down to discipline. Pick one story to work on and focus on that (perhaps pick a second one but do not work on them simultaneously). It's really as simple as that. If my mind drifts off, bring it back to focus on the task at hand. I can indulge in my daydreams all I want about other projects when I'm walking down the street, taking a shower or lying in bed. But when I'm actually sitting down behind my desk to work on a story, I need to focus.
4. Do not worry about the technical stuff
Spelling. Grammar. Finding le mot juste. Those things are not important during the first draft. Does the writing sound horribly off-key? It doesn't matter. Just keep on writing. Get my ideas and thoughts on paper. Bring the characters to life. Let the plot unfold. These things just do not happen when I wonder whether I should use a comma or a semi-colon. There's plenty of time to worry about that stuff after the first draft is done.
I really do know all this for a long time already. Yet this remains to be one of my greatest weaknesses. But I guess it's just a matter of habit. Be on the lookout for this weakness, and iaf I catch myself worrying too much about the technical stuff, just bring my thoughts back towards the story. Do that often enough and it will come more naturally.
5. Hold longer writing sessions
One particular thing I noticed about myself is that I have a lot of trouble getting started during a writing session, part of which may be related to the previous point. The first 15-20 minutes is usually quite non-productive, and most of that time is spent on hemming and hawing as I stare frustratingly at the page lying in front of me. But inevitably I will start to slowly get into a flow and the words will come out at a more natural and rapid pace. This also occurred during some exercises in writing classes, when the exercise required me to write something in 20 minutes or something like that. I'm just not able to do it and I struggle to put anything meaningful on paper.
So the advice here is quite straightforward. Try to avoid short writing sessions if possible. This is not a hard rule. After all, stealing 30 minutes to do some writing is still better than not writing at all. This is more about planning ahead and setting up schedules for myself. This way, I don't need to start panicking when after 20 minutes I still haven't written anything yet, because I know there is still more than enough time for me to get productive.

I decided to take a little break from the acrylics and dedicate myself to some pencil work. It's been a while since I spent so long on something that wasn't a painting, but I really enjoyed the process and it definitely brought back my love of working in graphite. Though I delight in the ease of being able to pick it up and put it back down again without having to wash brushes and pots, I actually find pencil work far more challenging. If I make an error with acrylics I can "easily" paint over it (not without excessive grumbling, I'll admit), but a mistake in the middle of a complicated piece with its layers of tones is a lot more difficult to fix – it can terribly mess up the flow and will stick out like a sore thumb… at least in my experience. So I really took my time with this one, stopping when I got too tired or began to get distracted (my biggest curse). Here's a look at the progress:
Monthly Archives: June 2013
Throwback Thursday: A long time ago in a country far, far away…
You may have seen the hashtag #ThrowbackThursday, #tbt, or however the internet masses like to shorten it floating around recently. It's quite a fun idea, and I've had many a giggle seeing things from my friends' archives. I've got mountains of dreadful art and pictures of embarrassing hair and fashion choices that I could share, but the other day I stumbled across this absolute gem that combines all of those. I had to share it.
Back in 2001 at the tender age of 14 I entered Junior Wildart, a competition held by my "home zoo", Paignton Zoo Environmental Park. Kids were encouraged to create images of their favourite animals so it's no surprise what I ended up submitting. There were three different age categories and I won in mine; I was also the one who got to have their photo taken for the local papers. Hooray me!
So here I am, being 14 and awkward, in front of my orcas and holding my certificate and art supply voucher prize:
I can (and probably will) poke fun at myself forever, but this was the first time I'd entered an art competition (except for my awesome manatee rescue story – I wish I could find that) so this certificate and little newspaper clipping do hold a special place in my heart. I drifted away from drawing and painting animals for a while when I hit 16 and didn't return to it seriously until about eight years later, and I'm so glad I did. It's really nice to see my progress. I wonder if my fellow Junior Wildart winners kept painting?
Why I paint
Today brought an experience that reminded me why I do what I do. I love marine life (surprise!), love to paint marine life, and hope that my work can inspire people to care about marine life just a bit more. I also hope that through sharing my art more people can experience the joy that can come from painting the things you love.
I was recently told by a family member on my husband's side that she'd shown my paintings to her animal-loving niece, who has special needs. She said that her niece had loved my work and that it had inspired her to start painting, which is a huge compliment for any artist. I was actually able to meet this girl today, and she presented me with this:
I was beyond touched. To have inspired someone to pick up a paintbrush is one thing, but to actually be given something they did as a thank you is simply wonderful. Not only that, but Keiko was an orca that was close to my heart (as he was for a lot of us), and being able to bond with her over our connection to this particular animal was especially lovely. This will be going up on the wall of my studio for those occasions – us arty types all have them – when I may need reminding of why I paint. Thank you, Elaine!

625 Harvard St Renovation/Expansion
625 Harvard St-Update on HDT's Remodel
HDT's renovation on Harvard St, in the Heights Historic District South is still progressing. The siding was installed so you get get a better feel for the space. It's still tough to visualize with just the interior framing. When sheetrock is installed (next week hopefully) spaces can be better appreciated.
The interior photo show the Great Room addition to the house. It will overlook a screened back porch. This 4 bedroom home will have 2 bedrooms down, plus master suite and 4th bedroom upstairs.
The unfinished room over the garage will have a lot of potential uses.
Since these photos were taken, the wiring and A/C have been installed, and exterior painting has begun. Framing inspection and A/C inspection are due soon, then Polyseal (foam sealing penetrations). After that, insulation can go in, then the sheetrock.
A lot of stuff happens in a short period of time so Dee is stays on site. We still haven't finalized pricing, but people rarely buy until trim work is done.
This link goes to pdf of 625 Harvard Street Floor Plans.
See previous post on this Victorian home.
Dee and Dave are working on plans for two other homes on 1841 Harvard (a remodel/expansion of existing home) and 1845 Harvard (big new construction). Other homes are planned for Rutland St and W 24th St. Details as plans progress.

New Trailer for ROCK DOG
Dream big with Luke Wilson, Eddie Izzard, J.K. Simmons, Lewis Black, Kenan Thompson, and Mae Whitman in the new trailer for ROCK DOG! Follow Bodi (Wilson) as he chases his passion for music all the way to the front door of rock idol Angus Scattergood (Izzard) in the exciting new animated family comedy from the Academy Award® nominated writer-director of SURF'S UP and co-director of TOY STORY 2.
Synopsis: For the Tibetan Mastiffs living on Snow Mountain, a dog's life has a simple riff: Guard a peaceful village of wool-making sheep from the thuggish wolf Linnux (Lewis Black) and his rabid pack. To avoid distractions, Mastiff leader Khampa (J.K. Simmons) forbids all music from the mountain. But when Khampa's son Bodi (Luke Wilson) discovers a radio dropped by a passing airplane, it takes just a few guitar licks for his fate to be sealed: Bodi wants to be a rock 'n' roll star. Yet that means defying his father's wishes, heading to the city, and locating the legendary – and reclusive – musician Angus Scattergood (Eddie Izzard), who needs to write a new song and fast.
If Bodi can put a band together, help Angus with his song, and defeat the wolves' plot to take Snow Mountain, his life will be in tune. Bodi will become what he's always dreamed of being: More than a dog … more than a Rock God… he'll be a ROCK DOG!
