SALEM — Sitting on a float going down Broadway with a line of antique cars, fire trucks and marching bands behind them, the Salem Field Hockey Team sang, "We're from Salem, and we're number one!"
Excitement was in the streets Saturday at the annual Salem Magic of Christmas Parade and Yuletide Tour.
Drums, Christmas music, high school bands and dance groups from area high schools filled the cold air with a sense of community and the coming Christmas spirit.
The parade began at 11 a.m., with the tour following at 1 p.m.
Tashemma Best and her friend Cookie Harris, both of Salem City, were with their kids and grandchildren — all with smiles on their faces.
"This is so nice," Best said. "The floats, the band..."
She is interrupted.
"And the horses!" her 6-year-old granddaughter Anayjah Thomas chimed in.
For 6-year-old Shyla McRae, "I like the candy."
Randolph Gibson, a retired Salem City police officer, and his wife Joesenia were sitting watching and enjoying the festivities. The two have been coming to the parade their entire lives.
"I was born and raised in Salem," she said. "This is tradition. It's important we give our children something to look forward to year after year."
Karen Underwood, Kym Owens and Rosemary Poliski, all part of the Salem High School Booster Club, had a fundraising table set up with an array of cookies and treats for sale. The three have been coming to the parade for nearly 30 years and recalled when they were all in the parade as kids.
"I was in the Salem High School band and played saxophone in the parade," Underwood said with a bashful smile.
"I was the banner girl," Poliski said.
"And I was captain of of the flag squad," Owens said with the three chuckling.
Inside Java Dog cafe on Broadway, owner Kim Patchell was busy serving the people of her community.
For Lisa and Jim Gillespie III, along with their son Jim Gillespie IV and his wife Lori, all of Pennsville, the parade has been a family tradition for about 30 years.
After the parade, people were given the opportunity to see Salem's historic architecture and rich history during the Yuletide Tour.
At the John Wistar House, on Market Street, owners Bill and Mary Breneman showed visitors their house that was built in the late 18th century. Inside, soft green patina walls, beautiful wooden floors — a modern look inside the federal-style framework.
Bill Breneman, who bought the house 47 years ago, showed visitors black-and-white pictures of a completely boarded-up and condemned home that he turned into his beautiful house today.
A little farther down on Market Street, visitors entered the Goodwin Sisters' House — built in the 19th century. Through the front door and down the hall to the dining room, homeowner Carl E. Nittinger played his harpsichord with visitors gathered around listening.
The home's original inhabitant, Elizabeth Goodwin, was a staunch abolitionist and active in the Underground Railroad movement in the 1830's.
And, a little farther down on Market Street still, was the late 18th century Richard Woodnutt House. Owner Chris Hofacker welcomed visitors as they entered. The home has three floors and 15 rooms, hardwood mahogany floors and a dark bluish-gray marble fireplace.
"Fabulous," one visitor said as she grabbed a snack at the food-filled dining room table.
The tour was set to conclude at 6 p.m., followed by a tree-lighting ceremony at 6:30 p.m. and a visit from Santa.
The following were the winners for the parade:
Dance Group: Academy of Performing Arts
Float: Mannington School
Band: West Deptford High School
Car: George & Pearl Paris
Walking Group: Salem Main Street
Fire Truck: Washington Fire Co.

With your Constant Contact account, you have the ability to take information directly from the profiles in your database and create or update lists in Constant Contact to use when sending e-mail messages.
If you do not see a Tab for Constant Contact on the Communicator, you'll need your Atlas Administrator to enter your account information. Have them go to Admin > Set Preferences > Application Settings > Email Providers and make sure you have a Constant Contact username and password entered, LIKE THIS:
Once you have entered your Constant Contact account information, follow the steps below to upload lists of your member's information to the Constant Contact program. You will notice a majority of the steps are quite similar to composing and sending a standard Mass Communication message through the database.
- Go to Communication > Send Mass Communication
- To choose the member profiles which will be uploaded, click the 'To' button to the left of the screen. You will be taken to the Profile Selector screen, and can navigate throughout the tabs to find your member information
- Once you have your desired profiles in the data grid, right click and choose the 'Select All' option. Then, click the Select button to be taken back to the Mass Communication screen
- You will want to make sure all of the 'Send Email' flags are marked to your recipients (to do this, right click inside of the data grid and choose the 'Set All Send Email Flags').
- Alternatively, you can used the Profile Selector to preview desired profiles and use the right-click 'Email' options to load profiles into the Communicator.
- After these steps, skip directly to the Constant Contact tab (this should be the last tab on the right)
- You have two choices: 'Create new list' or 'Replace an existing list.'
- To create a new list, first chose the radio button next to 'Create new list' (chosen by default). Then give the list a name which you will remember for ease of finding and using in Constant Contact, such as 'Full Membership List' or 'All members with more than 25 employees.' Then click Upload List to Constant Contact. You will be prompted that your list is currently being uploaded and you will be asked if you would like to open Constant Contact's website so you can log in and continue working.
- To replace an existing list, first chose radio button next to 'Replace existing list.' This will activate a drop down box that contains all of your existing lists in Constant Contact. Choose the list you want to update, and then click 'Upload List to Constant Contact.'
Note: Your list in Constant Contact will be completely overwritten with the profiles you have loaded into the Communicator. You will be prompted that your list is currently being uploaded and you will be asked if you would like to open Constant Contact's website so you can log in and continue working.
Additional Profile Information in Constant Contact
In addition to uploading your profiles' email addresses to Constant Contact, Atlas automatically uploads other profile contact information for you, including:
- First Name
- Last Name
- Home Phone
- Address, City, State, ZIP
- Company information (Organizations flagged as that individual's Main Contact)

- Encrypted ProfileID (Stored in Constant Contact's Custom Field #2)
Having these additional fields associated with the email addresses in your list can help you more easily determine which members and organizations are viewing your emails when you use Constant Contact's reports.
About Special Links
Update: special links cannot be used in Constant Contact's third generation template editor. If you are using the latest version of Constant Contact template editor, you can still use special links by using one of the following 2 methods.
- If you have older emails sent through Constant Contact that were built in a previous version of the template editor, you can create a copy of one of those old emails, and the copy will open in the older template editor. That should allow you to use the links.
- You can also still create custom coded emails in Constant Contact using XHTML instead of the template editor. You can access this by going to Campaigns and clicking Create > Email > Custom Code (at the top). When prompted, choose XHTML as the email format. When building the email, make sure to leave the "Open Tracking" xhtml tag in the email or it will not be able to track email opens. In this editing mode, there is also a link to the users guide at the top of the screen that will help with how to use the code editor.
Using Special Links
You will notice on the Constant Contact Tab there is a section in the middle of the screen which features links able to be used in Constant Contact when sending messages. Currently, these links are set for Online Payments, Profile Update, Referral Report, Affiliation Update and Portal Login. When you use one of these links, as long as you have created the list through the database as outlined above, the members receiving your e-mails will have access to these areas on your website. For instance, if you were to use the Profile Update link, the member would be taken directly to their profile information in your Members Only section to update their information. The changes will be sent to your database as normal.
Note that these special links will only work when creating emails in Constant Contact's legacy template editor (not the "third generation" editor). The links will not work if you create emails as HTML in an external program and copy/paste the code into Constant Contact.
This feature is included or available for purchase with the following Atlas packages.

The Belwood Lake Sailing Club is a group of family-oriented sailing boat enthusiasts who come from a wide area and all walks of life.
The club is located on a lovely four acre site on Lake Belwood, a reservoir managed by the Grand River Conservation Authority, about 4km east of Fergus. There is a club house with sail and gear storage, washrooms, a kitchen, picnic tables, shaded picnic area, children's play area, camping area, and boat and car parking.
There is a ramp into the water and launching dollies that allow most people to hand launch their boats easily. There are two docks: one for launching and one for short term docking.
The club owns two safety motor boats which are kept in one of the garages.
The club is managed by its members. There are ten directors elected from the membership who organize various functions throughout the year. Each week club members are responsible for keeping the general appearance of the club neat and tidy -- this normally takes about two or three hours and members are only required to do this once per year.
There are a lot of different boat types in the club. Dinghies such as: Lasers I and II, CL14s, CL16s, Wayfarers, Mirrors, Y-Flyers, GP14s, and Albacores and catamarans like Hobie 14s, 16s, 18s and Dart 18s. Some members also keep canoes and kayaks at the club and use them quite often in the back waters of the lake.
Belwood Lake Sailing Club is concerned about safety, both on and off the water. We urge members to adhere to the requirements in Transport Canada's Safe Boating Guide. In addition, when racing we require participants to wear a PDF.
Ontario Sailing, formerly The Ontario Sailing Association (OSA), recently came out with the following reminders about how to keep safe on the water:
Here are a few reminders for everyone.
Texting and Driving - we should treat operating a coach boat (or committee boat or mark boat or safety boat) the same way as driving a car. Period. A distracted operator of a motor boat is a very common thing. Don't text or talk on the phone. While a cell phone is a good safety item to have, keep it in your pocket until you are stopped and the engine is off or in neutral.
Ontario Sailing encourages our clubs and schools to pass this rule immediately! This is the policy of Ontario Sailing for all our coaches, instructors and contract staff.
PFDs - They Only Work If You Wear Them! - Ontario Sailing has a policy of mandatory wearing of PFDs by our coaching and instructing staff on the water. We ask clubs to pass the same policy.
Kill Cords - wear the kill cord round your leg as this is the only way to shut off the engine if you happen to fall overboard while coaching (or otherwise driving the motor boat). It's there for a reason - wear it!
Teach Knot Tying - we encourage all clubs to teach knot tying as part of their CANSail curriculum. Checklists are MINIMUM STANDARDS. By teaching such things as knots, parts of the boat, and sail controls, we will make safer and better sailors.
Final Words - Remember to hydrate, wear sunscreen. protect your eyes, get plenty of rest, don't drink and drive, and do a safety check of your boat daily! And beware of heat-related stress: hydrate, cover up, take a break, wear a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses and cover up!
Submit your review
Every Wed and Sunday the club has a great gathering of individuals that like to race and the vib after is fun and friendly with everyone hanging out having a drink/snacks. Its something that really stands out about this club, just the all round positive feeling. So many long term members... so this must speak to the quality of the facilities.

Boiler servicing Chester
All gas appliances in your property need to be safety checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer annually and serviced according to manufacturer's instructions. Any appliance left unchecked could leave you at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. It's an extremely good idea to have your gas pipework inspected at the same time as having a gas safety check.
It is also important to have your new gas appliances serviced every year in order for the manufacturers warranty to be valid.
If you notice any of the following warning signs, you'll want to get your boiler serviced right away:
- The boiler is not working properly
- The boiler is burning with a lazy yellow flame rather than a crisp blue one
- Black marks/stains are evident around the boiler
- The pilot light keeps going out
- There is increased condensation in the room
A boiler service will include inspection and/or cleaning of the appliance as specified and detailed in the manufacturer's instructions. This may include:
- It is correctly set and adjusted to ensure the gas is burning correctly
- It is of a type suitable for the room in which it is located
- It is physically stable, securely fitted and properly connected to the gas pipework
- There is an adequate and permanent air supply suitable for the boiler type installed
- Any flues or chimneys are operating correctly
- All safety devices function correctly
- If appropriate, an analysis of the combustion exhaust gases to ensure the boiler is burning the gas safely
- A check of the condition of the boiler including (but not limited to): the effectiveness of any seals, gaskets, the cleanliness of heat exchangers etc. and checking for any signs of heat or other distress
Call us on 01244 360415 for a free no obligation quote.
Below is a list of some of the basic checks that your engineer should be carrying out. This varies between different boiler makes and models, and the time scale between these checks vary also. In this instance we are going to be talking about a typical modern condensing combi boiler.
Gas Tightness Test
We know that we will be disturbing some gas connections so we always check to make sure you have no gas leaks before we start.
Visual Inspection of the Installation
As soon as we arrive we subconsciously assess the installation. Is the flue ok and in a suitable location? Is there sufficient ventilation? Where is the gas meter? Is there signs of any water leaks?
Cleaning Magnetic Filters
Modern boilers in particular are extremely prone to clogging up, due to dirt and debris within the heating system. Magnetic filters are usually installed on the central heating return pipework, and act as a line of defence to prevent the boiler being contaminated by debris. We can clean these filters out on a boiler service to ensure your boiler has maximum protection.
Check the Gas Pressure
It is important to ensure that the boiler is consuming the correct amount of gas at the right pressure. If the correct amount of gas is not available to the boiler, then your boiler could be producing a dangerous mixture of gas and air, which could lead to your boiler producing a dangerous level of carbon monoxide.
Checking and Adjusting the Gas and Air Mixture
A flue gas analysis will be carried out to ensure the boiler is burning the gas correctly, and not producing high levels of carbon monoxide. Gas valve adjustment may be required if the analyser readings do not meet the manufacturers requirements.
Measure the Amount of Gas the Boiler is Burning
The boiler is designed to burn a specific amount of gas, we will measure how much gas is being burned to ensure your boiler is running efficiently.
Clean the Heat Exchanger
On older boilers the heat exchanger will require cleaning every year. On modern boilers this isn't required as often. If your heat exchanger does need to be cleaned, it may also be necessary to change the combustion chamber seal depending on the manufacturer, so expect a slight increase on the boiler service cost if this is the case.
Clean and Adjust the Spark and Flame Sensing Probes
The probes are put under a lot of stress, combustion deposits can create a layer over the probes which will prevent the probe from creating a spark or from sensing the flame. They can also warp out of shape which will lead to failed ignition. We can clean the probes and make any necessary adjustments.
Cleaning of the Condensate Trap
A condensing boiler extracts additional heat from the waste gases by condensing this water vapour to liquid water. This runs through the heat exchanger and into the condensate trap. Some debris from the heat exchanger can be deposited in the trap so it is important to clean the trap during the service.
Final Checks
Upon completion of the boiler service we will carry out one last visual inspection. We will check everything has been replaced correctly and the boiler is operating as it should be.

The 2019 Coast Day celebration is approaching rapidly and all the parties involved have been busy to organise it as well as possible. The Cypriot hosts have booked the THALASSA Ayia Napa Municipal Museum as the venue of the morning session, and the Environmental Information and Education Centre at Kavo-Gkreko for the more casual afternoon event. Invitations were sent to all interested parties and applications are being received. Another successful Coast Day is anticipated.
Meanwhile, all the other venues of local Coast Day celebrations are buzzing with activities. In Montenegro, the Public Enterprise for Coastal Zone Management of Montenegro has planned the cleaning activity of the Long beach of Ulcinj involving school children. In the afternoon they will visit the recently declared nature park of Ulcinj Salina where they will be informed of the importance of wetlands in general, and especially for birdlife. Slovenia is planning a Coast Week, as usually. This year it will comprise various sea and beach cleaning activities and a number of workshops on different subjects, including, for example, green infrastructure.
Apart from that, Coast Day celebration is being organised by PAP/RAC within the MAVA project in three Mediterranean locations, Oristano (Sardinia, Italy), Ghar el Melh (Tunisia) and Velipoja (Albania). In Sardinia they are planning a 5-day event based on the activities of the Maristanis project (including activities addressed to reduce water use in agriculture and tourism sectors) as well as opening to general public of a permanent exhibition on the weaving products linked to the project Is Fainas realised within the project Maristanis. In Tunisia a 2-day event will be rich in activities, the most interesting one being a human chain around the threatened systems of Ghar el Melh, storytelling related to the Gataaya and understanding on how climate change will impact the Gatayaa, as well as camping in Sidi Ali el Makki: Night under the stars with storytelling. Albania will be organising the Coast Day for the first time. It will be in the Buna River Velipoje Protected Landscape near the Velipoje beach and include various activities, from canoeing on the lake and bicycle race, to a photo contest and a traditional fair with cooking of local meals, and traditional arts and crafts.

I remember those nights
that edged into day where
I'd sit, pencil in hand,
pondering how to overcome
that day's opponent…
every night, every day, too.
Obsession and fear kept me
drawing up new tactics that might
steal a victory once the clock
started running. Should we press
from tip-off to buzzer, trying
to impose our weak will to turn
them aside from our goal?
No, that's a task too difficult
to accomplish one-on-one. Inevitably,
we'd opt for a passive defense,
hoping to shield and slow them from
getting inside. But that merely
prolonged the inevitable, just like
every other time. I'd crawl off
to bed, resigned to another defeat
in this seemingly endless season
of losses. It's record was 365-0 and
I couldn't take the losing anymore.
It was then I admitted, pride be damned,
I'd ask for help. Even I couldn't beat
Depression alone.
Day 20's NaPoWriMo poem, combining prompts for a task poem and one incorporating terms from a sport or game. After thirty years of coaching basketball, I knew more than enough jargon. After more than thirty years of the fruitless task of trying to beat depression by myself, I finally took on some assistant coaches. Still don't win all the games, but my record's improving all the time.

William Woodward
Gorgeous pink soft teddy which I bought for my daughter, hopefully she'll treasure it for years to come! Super quick delivery as usual & well packaged.
Lesley McSorley
Antrim, Northern Ireland
Hello, I purchased the Baby Gund my first teddy (Large) for my neigbours' new baby daughter as a Christmas gift. The colour (Being pink for a girl), size and the fact that it is machine-washable all attracted me towards it. The price was also reasonable, although that wasn't the main attraction. When I opened the very well-packed parcel that the bear travelled in and took it out my immediate thoughts were exactly how soft and cuddly the bear was, (Ideal for a good snuggle) and what a lovely shade of pink it was. Overall I was very happy with the product having looked at others in local shops and thinking how "Skinny-looking" they were. I would recommend both the product and the service provided i.e. being able to track your parcel on-line and the prompt delivery in a very secure package. I am sure the little girl will be as pleased with her bear as I was!

This Teddy was purchased for our brand new Granddaughter. We have sent Teddies to all our Grandchildren when they arrive, and although we haven't actually seen either baby or Teddy in the flesh our Daughter has said "the Baby and the Teddy are wonderful". So thanks to our Daughter for delivering a little girl after the previous seven boy Grandchildren and thanks Teddy Bear Friends for delivering an excellent product.

Sandia developed the Solar Glare Hazard Analysis Tool (SGHAT), a web-based tool that predicts energy production and the potential for solar glare and ocular impacts from an array of photovoltaic (PV) panels.
SGHAT uses an interactive Google Maps interface together with a few user-specified parameters such as orientation and tilt of the PV panels to quickly
- locate a site;
- outline the proposed array; and
- calculate the occurrence, intensity, and size of the potential glare throughout the year.
The tool also predicts the annual energy production of proposed PV arrays so that alternative designs, layouts, and locations can be optimized to maximize energy production while mitigating glare.
The use of this tool is required by a new federal policy (78 FR 63276) issued in October 2013 by the Federal Aviation Administration for solar-energy installations proposed at federally obligated airports in the U.S. Over 700 users from nearly 30 countries have registered to use SGHAT.

Bizarro McGregor: The Clotheslines and Counter Swings of Artem Lobov
Fightland Blog
Artem Lobov probably shouldn't be in a UFC main event. One accusation is that he 'memed' his way there. Others point out that Lobov benefits time and again from his friendship with the far better fighter and the UFC's greatest star, Conor McGregor. But there is something to be admired in Artem Lobov. He is a deeply flawed, one-dimensional fighter with a near 0.500 record and whose best victories came over opponents without Wikipedia pages. He arguably shouldn't have even been invited to the big show. Yet if you were to look at Lobov's last fight from a technical and tactical standpoint, he seemed to have improved a good deal against one of his better opponents to date.
There is a lot of Conor McGregor to be seen in Artem Lobov. McGregor has built a career from the left hand through the open side. Open guard (southpaw versus orthodox or vice versa) 101 is the battle of the lead foot, attempting to line up rear handed strikes and kicks inside of the opponents. You will see this small window of the fight dictate exchanges on almost every card. Michelle Waterson, for instance, conceded dominant foot positioning to Rose Namajunas a couple of times in their fight, and the second time it got her blindsided by a high kick.
But when the rear hand is the keystone punch of the engagement, each man has a greater distance over which to recover their hand. Furthermore, when fighting another orthodox fighter there is always the option to duck down behind the lead shoulder and take the head off line to avoid punishment. In an orthodox versus southpaw engagement that is much tougher. Conor McGregor is excellent at drawing the opponent's rear hand and sneaking his own through in the window between their blow and their getting back to guard. Even when on guard, the open side is protected only by the rear hand and forearm, rather than the shoulder and back, which can shield on the closed side.
Two applications of the same counter through the open side, almost a century apart.
Artem Lobov looks very different in his style, but looks to capitalize on the same window nonetheless.
Often Lobov will do so with a straight armed clothesline rather than a punch because of his Sean Sherk-esque 65 inch reach. But this is mixed martial arts and not boxing, sometimes a forearm smash across the head can be preferable to a glancing punch on the cheek.
Lobov also loves the right hook as the opponent commits to a right straight.
Similar to McGregor, Lobov is often so focused on catching his opponent as they extend that he does not get out of the way after his counters. While this is noticeable in McGregor when watching him spar against handy boxers and in the heat of furious fights with top-notch featherweights, this tendency to hang around and 'admire his work' gets Lobov hit hard in many of his fights.
Through his four fights on The Ultimate Fighter, Lobov showed a counter punching style wherein he pressured his man, waited for him to extend, and then swung fists as hard as possible while ducking his head offline. It wasn't pretty and he often traded blow for blow, but he caught each of his opponent's off guard and picked up three TKOs. When Lobov hit the main roster he was easily handled by grappling savant, Ryan Hall. Landing just two strikes in the entire bout, Lobov was controlled and threatened with submissions at every turn on the ground and kicked at range in the brief moments on the feet.
When he met the considerably taller Alex White, a six foot featherweight, Lobov's short reach meant that even when White ducked in to shoot straight punches at Lobov's midsection he could not connect his counters well.
Lobov was handed a softer opponent in the form of 5-2 Chris Avilla for his next fight. Applying low kicks well throughout, Lobov got the better of Avilla. But as John Kavanagh pointed out to Lobov in the corner "You're in against a kid." Lobov had lost twice as many fights as Avilla had even been in. It was hardly a stiff test of the veteran.
Lobov's most recent fight, against Teruto Ishihara was probably his best to date. Ishihara was not a top-flight featherweight but he was benefitting from a lot of goodwill after making himself famous with his comments about his 'bitches'. Ishihara was another southpaw who retreated and countered with the left hand as opponents over extended. As Conor McGregor's favourite sparring partner, and someone who himself looks for those counters, Lobov was able to show some interesting looks and take Ishihara's finger off the trigger.
Feints were aplenty during the match, and Lobov found interesting ways to take Ishihara out of position to counter strike like that old karate point fighting favourite, the shuffling low-low kick. A love tap to the ankle of a retreating opponent, this can be used to knock the opponent's feet out of position to throw counter punches, and allows the advancing fighter that coveted outside lead foot positioning. Note that Lobov, who often does his best work as a southpaw, switched to an orthodox stance specifically to use this set up.
Also on display was a nice shift in, combined with feints, to set up a swing from the other stance.
This was also the fight in which Lobov famously 'dropped the hammer' on Ishihara en route to an easy decision victory.
Artem Lobov's next fight, against Cub Swanson, has seemingly come from nowhere. Swanson is a long time top-tenner in the featherweight division and while he has lost a step in recent years his losses have come against Max Holloway and Frankie Edgar—men who could win the title on any given night. Artem Lobov is considered to have the puncher's chance but has only knocked out a whopping four opponents in his twenty-five professional fights. He can hit with power but seems to struggle to produce those connections. Perhaps the best sign for Lobov in this matchup is that Cub Swanson is not a timid fighter, and often loves a wild exchange when he might be better off pushing his technical advantage. Much of Swanson's last fight, against Doo Ho Choi was made up of wild exchanges with Swanson coming off the better. Furthermore, the southpaw counter right hook was a good part of Max Holloway's success against Cub Swanson… so there's a chance. But this remains one of the strangest matches the UFC has ever put together and easily one of its weirdest main events.

Ouya will match Kickstarter funds raised by game campaigns that give the console timed exclusivity.
Ouya was arguably a rock star as far as videogame Kickstarter's go. Hooking tens of thousands with promises of an affordable and open console experience, it would go on to earn more than $8.5 million in crowdsourced funding, nearly nine hundred percent of its initial goal. That said, the days of people oohing and aweing (Ouya-ing, if you will) over the Ouya may have come to a close. With the reviews for the Android-based console out, both critics and consumers seem markedly underwhelmed.
Chief among the many complaints now dogging the indie console is a simple lack of quality games. In an attempt to remedy this, the folks behind the Ouya have now announced that they will be establishing a new program dubbed the "Free the Games Fund". Ouya is putting up one million dollars that it will use to match the funding raised by gaming projects that give the console timed exclusivity to their games. To qualify a participant must raise at least $50,000 and, of course, have their campaign end in success. If they raise more than $250,000 however, Ouya will only match the first quarter of a million. Once the one million dollar fund runs out the program will end.
This could be an interesting way for the Ouya to land much needed exclusive content. Likewise, it could also help independent developers expand their available resources. That said, considering the Ouya's narrow audience and the fact that participating games would presumably still need to be made following their campaigns, the actual usefulness of the Free the Games Fund could be limited. Independent developers might benefit from the extra funding but then find their games languishing in obscurity while they wait for Ouya's exclusivity to run out. Likewise, seeing as the Ouya could use better games now, titles that could take months or even years to finish realistically may not help the ailing console.

Not entirely sure yet how I feel about this, but points to them for keeping creative with production & concepts
Edit: scratch that. not a fan. one of the big draws of the Ouya, to which I am a supporter, was it's open nature. Sure, you can still sideload whatever you want, but the exclusivity deals kinda violate the spirit of the original idea
It looks like the Ouya is already on life support. Considering videos on what the thing is like, I think it just isn't as impressive as the people that made it thought it would be.
To me the thing is just a slightly better version of one of those cheap includes 100 games or more black and white handhelds that could be bought for cheap years ago from catalogs, stores, or were given as free gimmick gifts from product promotions. And from what I've seen, the thing is pretty cheap, even the list price seems a tad expensive for the quality.
Fool us once...
How have they not yet filed for bankruptcy protection?
they still have money leftover from the amount of supporters in thier kickstarter.

For those who have followed me for the many years, my blog has been around, know that my blog has undergone major changes. Something that constantly amazes me is how much I have changed over the course of seven years. However, with great changes and accomplishments, we undergo many hardships along the way. I am overcoming my darkness and one of the short reads that any young woman who wants to heal is milk & honey by rupi kaur.
You can grab your copy for super cheap on amazon.
Her poetry truly appeals to me. I can relate in ways I never thought I would. Although I did not endure the same life struggles as her writing there is this calm in the way she writes. You have to endure the breaking to experience the healing. There is no hurting without loving. We experience all of these in our own ways and Kaur does an excellent job of bringing it all together in her fluid writing. The poems are short but display the full story. Each poem is its own story. I highly recommend the read.

Ten long years of blogging about zoonotic tuberculosis, and have we achieved anything at all?
A coalition of greens, celebs and badgerists, aided and abetted by the BBC's PR machine and fueled by fully paid up pseudo scientists - [link] has presented a case for vaccination - [link] as an alternative to culling wildlife, both infected and infectious with z.Tuberculosis. While seemingly they are quite content to keep testing and slaughtering cattle and banging on about biosecurity.
And earlier this year, they succeeded in ousting the best Secretary of State - [link] we have ever had.
The European Union has approved funding - [link] to the tune of around £25 million for the UK, to test more cattle and offer advice. This, says Farmers Guardian is by far the largest slice of this particular pie, needed or requested by any EU member state.
"In total roughly £25m will be provided to the UK from the EU, the single largest allocation for a member state's animal disease eradication programme. The funding received will be split between England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Defra said the funding would help it pursue elements of England's TB strategy, including for on-farm cattle tests and laboratory work.This is the sixth year running, that funding has been allocated, after the EU first approved the UK TB eradication programme in 2010.
We would have thought EU patience was wearing a tad thin, especially as the bottomless pit of cattle carnage while leaving a wildlife reservoir of disease to flourish, appears to be errr - bottomless, with almost 24,000 cattle slaughtered in the 9 months to September 2014. That is slightly down on 2013, but so are the number of herds registered on Defra's computer network. Thus the percentage of herds experiencing TB restrictions remains stubbornly high at around 10 per cent of all cattle herds in GB.
We note that 2014 ends with some pretty outrageous statements made by the top end staff at Defra, which in the positions which they hold, and with the qualifications they wave about, are an insult to reality.
We reported Ian Boyd's gaff at the NFU TB Conference - [link] in November, and he is not alone in using wild, computer generated assumptions when solid data is available from his own departments.
But the word which seems to have got the great and good in such a tail spin is 'Transmission'. How it happens, by what method, why, when, how... and usually combined with the need for more 'research'.
It goes on like a broken record. And merely confirms the total lack of epidemiological credibility within the upper echelons of Defra / AHVLA.
Which brings us neatly back to those PQs of a decade ago.
For sure they were publicity for a problem which should never have been allowed to ferment, but they were much more than that. They sought to satisfy the 'gold standard' of disease transmission, by answering certain postulates originally formulated - [link] by Professor Koch for the spread of Tuberculosis, in 1884.
This is pure epidemiology, where if certain events happen, (causality) then how transmission occurs does not need further investigation. Such transmission can be assumed.
These early postulates were upgraded by Evans in 1977 and include:
* Disease should follow exposure to the putative agent
• Exposure increases disease incidence prospectively
* Exposure increases disease prevalence
• Exposure to the cause more common in those with the disease than those without ceteris paribus
• Dose-response relationship.
.* Experimental reproduction of the disease possible
• Measurable host response following exposure to the cause• Elimination of putative cause reduces incidence
• Prevention of the host's response eliminates the disease
• The whole thing should make biologic and epidemiologic sense
But how this zoonotic, bacteriological killer has been handled in this country over the last three decades make no sense whatsoever; biological, epidemiological or any other descriptive term Defra can dream up.
As research over the last century has shown, for zoonotic Tuberculosis, the epidemiological postulates are satisfied. Thus further prevarication over its control in wildlife is purely political .
And that is a damned disgrace.
We'll end this post with a snippet which we hope you will appreciate.
You may have read the [shock, horror, how awful ] stories of how long it takes a badger, shot during the pilot culls to 'die'. But all may not be as it seems. For sure, the stopwatch starts ticking when the rifle fires.
But then the marksman has to discharge the spent round, discard his camouflage gear, (including trousers), having removed his boots so that said trousers could be discarded. Put on bio security garb commensurate with the examination of a Category 1 waste product under EU Waste regulations, (a dead badger) and sprint across to where said badger was felled.
Now this may be 10 feet, 10 yards or 100 yards. And when he finally reaches the animal, he has to tickle its eyelid with a twig to confirm death. And it is only when he indicates a 'thumbs up' to the man with the stopwatch and a torch, does that apparatus get stopped.
So all is definitely not as it seems. And let's hope there were no chimneys involved. Happy Christmas.

Why you need a paper notebook
A lot of people I admire and follow and learn from use some sort of notebook of regular basis.
These posts came across my radar recently I thought it would be worth sharing them as they nicely show why it's worth having one.:
- Why Should you always carry a notebook
I've been carrying a number of notebooks for last few years and experimented with different formats. I found that pocket size works best when it's relatively thin say 40-60 pages tops and used for quick capture of ideas on the go. The larger size (13 x 21 cm / 5 x 8.25 in) works better for notebooks with more than 100 pages and suits to planning and writing.
These are my observations you best bet is to try and see what works for you.

After the April 7th 2010 Jamaica AIDS Support for Life's and others historic Walk for Tolerance which was supposed to be HIV specific dealing with acceptance and tolerance of persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHAs) irrespective of sexual orientation instead has raised a fire storm in the public arena with hints that it was front for the GLBTQ community to launch a gay pride in Jamaica.
"De gay dem a force dem ting pon wi again" one female caller to a popular talk show said. Similar negative comments have been made both in writing and verbally on talk shows and on mostly Jamaican chat forums online.
Some have hinted to the fact that since the controversial Dudus Coke extradition affair, the current economic climate, a weak majority government struggling to stay afloat and dancehall acts feeling severe pressure from their all important international markets the gay community has taken the opportunity to jump in and flex its muscles supposedly capitalising on the weakness of its opponents.
One particular online publication, The Kingston Chronicle in a subtle form reminded us of the proposed Half Way Tree March some years ago and the call for machetes suggesting gays ought to be attacked if we tried to launch any such supposed bold attempt, they cleverly insinuated that message again in their latest homo hate post. That particular blog post clearly hints to calling for persons to arm themselves with weapons of any sort so as to attack gays and lesbians if they should come out publicly. A letter demanding gays to leave Montego Bay was published in the Jamaica Observer and Jason Macfarlane of JFLAG has answered the same paper's editorial "On Tolerating Homosexuals and such." Half hearted letters alone won't do Jason there has to be a Jamaica AIDS Support on their own in response to this situation on television to separate the issues as that's where the crap started in the first place
With the presence of international religious and gay groups in the tolerance march that has just added fuel to the fire of speculation as to whether it was really a walk for HIV/AIDS or GLBTQ issues. The publication on Michael Petrelis' blog, Petrelis Files of the actual invitation letter circulated to groups and individuals in its entirety days before advising them of the intended walk on the Jamaica AIDS Support for Life's letterhead over the signature of its Chairman, Mr. Ian McKnight added more dangerous gas to the firestorm I feel, the letter including the names of individuals and telephone number of JFLAG and not JASL listed as the contact point were major blunders in my view, Mr. Petrelis' blog like my blogs and other such pro gay blogs are read by homophobes as well so they know well before hand and are able to plan whatever sinister strategy they wish to enact.
The online publication referred to above mentioned Petrelis Files in their scaving hateful post on Homosexuals Marching openly in Montego Bay. While I can concur with Mr. Petrelis for providing information to his readers and making his blog stand out it was grossly irresponsible for publishing a private correspondence in such a fashion knowing the sensitivities involved here
I am no Public Relations expert but a proper press release should have been done and let that speak for itself instead of inviting the press as was done only for them to speculate with negative outcomes. It is clear to me that Television Jamaica has an agenda here they are the only television station that carried the Walk repeatedly and they deliberately showed the rainbow flag several times with the follow up story on the controversial issue of the hired marching band's upset of them allegedly not being properly informed of JFLAG persons being present in the Walk.
As I had suggested in a previous post on the Marching band controversy Jamaica AIDS Support for Life and who ever else who hired this band missed a golden opportunity to sensitise a vibrant group of teens on HIV/AIDS issues and tolerance which were the main thrusts of the walk according to the JASL Chairman when he was interviewed on Nationwide radio that very evening. They, the band members could have been used to become outreach ambassadors in their respective communities instead on the face of it no serious preparatory work seemed to have been done in having all the would be participants on one page.
If that was done I feel the unfortunate interview aired on TVJ the following day with a female Rollington Town band member complaining that her and other member's family and community compatriots were upset that they were involved in a gay march without prior knowledge as it is now known in the public's opinion. They are being accused of supporting homosexuals in this effort, the life of the band is also under threat as several parents are considering removing their children from its membership. Days after the controversy aired on television there is still talk of the issue in Rollington Town and its environs persons are upset that their marching who has developed a reputation of being one of the more respected ones in the eastern part of the country has now lost its good image it took so long to build according to one parent of a member I managed to speak to. Several of the mainly teen band members themselves are trying to live it out and defend themselves from their accusers by rebutting that they never knew that it was as was reported on television and that other groups were present outlining that HIV tests and talks were done suggesting it wasn't all a gay thing.
Show up wi self eeh?
Behaviour patterns on the road during the walk is a key factor as well a recent talk show has some callers allegedly from Montego Bay who witnessed the Walk and they complained slightly of the behaviour of some of the male participants one caller said she thought it was a gay thing the way the men were acting carrying a sign that said freedom or something to that effect as she couldn't confirm when pressed by the host as to what it read. I don't think Jamaica AIDS Support for Life and its allies should take this issue lightly as it has serious implications I fear.
Innocent persons may well suffer the consequences out of this episode almost becoming involuntary martyrs for a cause they never subscribed to. Some of the male participants in the walk are allegedly under threat or at the very least under siege in their own homes as they fear from venturing into public on a regular basis. One particular male participant was said to be under threat from family members demanding that he not return to their space. So the fallout has begun ladies and gentlemen not surprising but I hope it doesn't escalate.
World AIDS Day would have been better
World AIDS Day would have been a better occasion to do this kind of HIV specific sensitization I feel then one could include all the various groups affected including MSMs, JFLAG could probably highlight the pride section of it during the same month of December where they celebrate their anniversary on the 10th.
The selection and preparation of participants would also be of import and how to sensitise the public on such an action too. I don't know if Jamaica AIDS Support for Life will recover from this latest public relations blunder as I see it. If the walk is to be HIV specific then let it be so while tempering how the GLBTQ messages are delivered in Jamaica's controversial homophobic setting. The so called gay in your face attempts won't help anyone at this time, yes I agree the public needs to be made aware of the impact of the disease on individuals but there must be other ways to engage the public over time. Of note the JASL website like JFLAG's has not had any serious updates so why have such a powerful medium up and running at your disposal and not use them effectively to facilitate discussion and field queries from the public on these and other sensitive issues? Half hearted advocacy I say as I have always had that criticism of them and others.
Many ordinary gay persons here in commenting on the issue are not pleased either at the outcome many complain that while they welcome the support of the overseas groups namely Metropolitan Community Church (MCC Florida), Interpride and the others who were present many never knew their names or even that a walk of any kind was being planned until seeing it on television, they the visitors can always jump on a plane and return to their respective safe spaces while we have to live this out. "What help is that?" one gay person who I quizzed on the matter asked. Others suggested they donate funds to help JFLAG or even JASL to deal with the related social problems with HIV/AIDS and advocacy. Others asked why wasn't it properly advertised around the community so they could decide to go or not? This hints to another criticism of mine where the powers that be are out of touch with sections of the community whether intentionally or not. Others persons however are in agreement with the walk and said that if gays were involved then so be it as it was about time gays made their voices heard.
Public backlash
Since this latest negative episode in our GLBTQ history the plethora of anti gay songs being creatively infused on radio by looping and one liners mixed into playlists by disc jocks has increased with fervency. Songs like TOK's "Chi Chi Man" are used where the first middle and end parts are carefully injected over another song in a set mix for example. I have been making the rounds at some of the major weekly dancehall events and it's clear that this issue has struck a nerve. Dancehall events Disc Jocks and sound selectors are venting over their microphones on the JASL issue and marrying it to the visa revocations of some major dancehall acts such as the self proclaimed king of dancehall Beenieman who has since responded in song obviously trying to capitalise on the occurrence as he is known for and the legal troubles now faced by Buju Banton, the low wearing pants and bleached faced issues as well as resurfaced all being brought together to reinforce the Jamaican gay stereotype.
Nearly all the main anti gay songs including Buju Banton's "Boom Bye Bye" and Beenieman's "All Batty man fi Dead" have been drawn from the storage shelves dusted off and returned to playlists in full earnest in response to all of these occurrences. I am afraid that the walk for tolerance has set us back some five or so years in as far as the climate for tolerance is concerned. I wouldn't be surprised unfortunately if we saw an increase again in homophobic violence on the ground.
A walk that was to help has instead inadvertently created some problems.
Anyway let us keep hope alive that someday we will see tolerance and learn from this another in our GLBTQ chapter.
Peace and tolerance.

Word to the Wise
Friday, March 19, 2010 - St. Joseph, Husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary[2 Samuel 7:4-5a, 12-14a, 16; Romans 4:13, 16-18, 22; Matthew 1:16, 18-21, 24a OR Luke 2:41-51a]
"Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary you wife into your home. For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her......" When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home.
Joseph in the New Testament is like his namesake in the Old Testament. He is a dreamer and he believes that God's plan may include considerable adversity. (cf. Genesis 45:5-8) By taking Mary "into his home" he takes the risk of public scandal on his shoulders and moves forward. His "righteousness" might have entitled him to act differently under the Mosaic Law, but mercy and love prevail in God's plan! This "son of David" was destined for big things. For a man about whom we know very little, indeed, Joseph has become one of the most popular patron saints in the Church. Dozens of religious orders take their name from him. Devotion to him on the part of a humble Holy Cross brother, Andre Bessett, has led to the building of the enormous St. Joseph Oratory in Montreal. The Little Sisters of the Poor, who conduct marvelous nursing homes, have a tradition that in dire need they place a slip of paper with the need written on it beneath the statue of St. Joseph, with the result of story after story of prayers answered. Catholic religious goods stores keep a basket with small plastic statues of St. Joseph available for the tradition of burying one in the ground of a piece of real estate one wishes to sell! This range of activity - from husband of Mary to church builder to rescuer to real estate agent to patron saint of entire nations (Canada, Italy) to patron saint of workers, etc. - is amazing for an obscure carpenter from a small village in the Middle East. He personifies St. Paul's words: "For those who love God, all things work together unto good." Our own trust in God's providence finds a sure companion in Joseph. AMEN

The other day, one of my Facebook friends posted a message about their faith.
They wanted others to know that they were a Christian but had friends who did not believe and they were ok with that. They did not want to "judge" their friends or their beliefs. Her posting stirred me up as I have seen way too much of this before.
I tried to be polite in asking of they felt that their beliefs were the only "correct" just to see how far their tolerance went. The response was that it was correct for them and maybe not for others. Curious, I pushed a little further and asked if Jesus was the only way to heaven. The response was that it was for God to decide.
If you cannot stand behind a basic principle of Christianity, then chances are you are not really a Christian.
You might go to church and pray. It is very possible that you read the Bible and do all of the things that Christians do, yet you are lacking being a Christian if you do not feel that Jesus is the only way. If there is another way, why would Jesus have to die? It makes no sense.
No I know many people who do not believe. I would like to say it is ok, because I do not want to offend them, but I cannot honestly answer that way. For me, I care too much for you to be ok with you going to hell, simply because I did not want to offend you.
My friends who are not Christians understand this and are ok with it. They honestly see me as caring for them in my insistence of the need for Christ. If my faith said that there was only one door but I refused to tell you about the door, how much can I really care for you? By not wanting to offend you, I am sealing your fate.

Having sewn for boy's for quite a few years I was thrilled to learn this technique for Nancy Zieman.
You want to control the fullness at the top of the sleeve. So, do not let the fabric feed through, keep your finger at the back as you sew. If to much fabric is piling up, you can let it go, and continue again with your finger in the back of the pressure foot. This also works on girls blouses where you want a smooth top to the sleeve.
With this done, take the sleeve to the ironing board and steam it very well. Do not! touch the iron the the sleeve, just give it a good shot of steam to shrink out the fullness.

Revision as of 15:58, 17 September 2015
Shaft is the most original gun ever created by the Tanki Online Team. It can shoot at an enemy in arcade mode (you can shoot by quickly pressing the spacebar) or in sniping mode using an optical sight and charge accumulation (you need to press and hold the spacebar). The tank remains stationary in sniping mode and you can manually adjust the sight both horizontally and vertically.
Description in Garage
A great choice for a sniper. It is the only gun with an optical scope attached, allowing it to easily hit targets at long range. Can also fire short-range without using the scope. Works well with any hull, but light hulls risk flipping over from the recoil!
Table of characteristics
Min arcade damage — minimum damage dealt to an enemy tank per one shot of the turret in arcade mode.
Max arcade damage — maximum damage dealt to an enemy tank per one shot of the turret in arcade mode.
Min sniping damage — minimum damage dealt to an enemy tank per one shot of the turret in sniping mode.
Max sniping damage — maximum damage dealt to an enemy tank per one shot of the turret in sniping mode.
Amount of energy — amount of energy the turret has.
Energy per shot — amount of energy spent by the turret per shot.
Consumption — amount of energy spent by the turret per second in sniping mode.
Reloading — amount of energy points recovered per second.
Sniping mode delay after shot (sec) — delay right after a shot, before leaving the sniping mode.
Entering sniping mode (sec) — pause between pressing spacebar abd entering the sniping mode.
Penetrating power (%) — % of initial damage dealt to a next tank on the line of fire. If there are several tanks standing one behind another, each next tank will be receiving a decreased damage equal to the percent of damage dealt to the previous tank.
Rotation speed (deg/sec) — maximum speed the turret can turn at.
Rotation acceleration (deg/sec²) — acceleration of the turret getting to its maximum rotation speed.
Rotation acceleration in sniping mode (deg/sec²) — acceleration of the turret getting to its maximum rotation speed in sniping mode.
Auto-aim upwards (deg) — angle of auto-aim if a target is above the turret's horizontal plane.
Auto-aim downwards (deg) — angle of auto-aim if a target is below the turret's horizontal plane.
Horizontal aim speed (deg) — speed of horizontal move of the aim in sniping mode.
Vertical aim speed (deg) — speed of vertical move of the aim in sniping mode.
Impact force in arcade mode — physical impact of a turret's projectile on enemy tanks when hitting them.
Impact force in sniping mode — maximum physical impact of a turret's projectile on enemy tanks when hitting them with full charge in sniping mode. The impact force increases linearly from the impact force in arcade mode to its maximum.
Recoil — physical impact of the turret on itself when shooting.
Transparent bushes radius min/max (m) — at this range bushes become transparent in sniping mode.
FOV min/max (deg) — field of view in sniping mode. The field of view changes from min to max when the charge is being accumulated.
Starting point of turret slowdown — the turret starts slowing down at this point when aiming.
End point of turret slowdown — the turret stops slowing down at this point when aiming.

YA Cover Reveal and Sneak Peek: The Keeper
The Keeper, book 2 in the Vega Jane series
Read an excerpt here
From the publisher:
About The Keeper:
Vega Jane was always told no one could leave the town of Wormwood. She was told there was nothing outside but the Quag, a wilderness filled with danger and death. And she believed it - until the night she stumbled across a secret that proved that everything she knew was a lie.
Now just one thing stands between Vega Jane and freedom - the Quag. In order to leave Wormwood and discover the truth about her world, Vega and her best friend Delph must find a way to make it across a terrifying land of bloodthirsty creatures and sinister magic. But the Quag is worse than Vega Jane's darkest imagining. It's a living, breathing prison designed to keep enemies out and the villagers of Wormwood in.
The Quag will throw everything at Vega Jane. It will try to break her. It will try to kill her. And survival might come at a price not even Vega Jane is willing to pay.
Master storyteller David Baldacci unleashes a hurricane of action and adrenaline that takes readers to the breaking point.
Happy reading!

LizardSkin products have outstanding coverage rates and figuring out how much you'll need for your next project is simple. Use the calculator below to see how many gallons you will need for your project.
When using the coverage calculator, please keep in mind:
- This is to calculate a standard 40 mil (two 20 mil coats) application of each product.

Are we experiencing the demise of this media, enjoying the last few days of sunshine before its final collapse?
I know this is a controversial topic and I am by no means one of those radical loonies that advocate the throwing away of everything that is last century for the sake of it. In fact, I have a great deal of respect for good trade media, I count several journalists as friends (indeed even in my own family!) and I am a member of the NUJ. So I have no intention of slating journalists. But the writing appears to be on the wall for printed media of all kind, and if you asked (confidentially) any Editor worth their salt they will admit that they are extremely concerned about it. Indeed in a blog posted by George Brock, Prof of Journalism at City University, it was reported that Alan Rushbridger, the well known Editor of The Guardian, announced that the current printing presses would be the last the paper would purchase!
I don't know when we will see a full collapse of printed media including trade journals, but I estimate this may happen sooner than we think. What has been holding up this paradigmatic shift is mainly poor communication infrastructure. Electronic devices portability is inextricably linked to the ability to get on line everywhere. If you have to sit in front of a PC, connected to a cable or even relyinig on WiFi you won't get very far. The real change will happen when a full 4G network will be implemented. Then, 98% of the population of the United Kingdom should be able to enjoy fast Internet access everywhere and this will change completely both the way we work, as well as the way we access all kind of information.
"We have always done that way, why should we change?"
Going back to the trade media, my main bugbear is that too few publications have adopted a good online presence of their own. Many are still almost totally reliant on their printed publications, with a web site existing as an afterthought. Ignorance of online possibilities tend to prevail, together with a high degree of smugness too. A few months ago I had a heated discussion with a Senior Executive in one of the trade publications I deal with concerning something as basic as an email newsletter. They insisted on sending the newsletter without the option of text only, with the result that when we tested their output using an email reader that had images disabled, their newsletter bulletins became almost invisible. No matter how convincing the argument was for an alternative, their reply was "We have always done that way, why should we change?", or words to that effect. Well, I won't be sad to see the demise of trade titles like these as they have no place in the 21st century with that sort of attitude obviously.
With a good online presence a transition from printed trade press to online only would be possible and could even ensure that many of the useful titles we enjoy reading now will continue to thrive, though it would be inevitable for some consolidation to take place.
Ultimately, with the exception perhaps of journals that are published by professional trade bodies, the real reason for trade media is for companies to inform their markets and therefore prospective customers, about their wares, with the hope to gain an edge over the competition. Yes, it's nice to read some excellent editorial content and long may this last, but were it not for the power of advertising (which includes advertorials such as colour seps of course) most trade magazines would not exist. I remember when I used to be a buyer in the industry my criteria for deciding to be featured in a publication (either as press or advert) were based on audience, presence of competition and whether we could get leads…. but those were in the days of reader response cards. These days, as we all know, prospective customers are more likely to Google a product than reach for the printed Buyers' Guide… Alternatively, excellent online review sites provide good opportunities to compare products. Although this service is currently limited just to electronic and consumer goods in particular, why should it not be open to the B2B sector as well? (There is a hint for some savvy Publishers here!)
So, while I am not attempting to provide a conclusion in such short blog, particularly about a subject which is so inherently complex and well documented, I think that if the trade media wants to survive in the 21st century it will need to consolidate and reinvent itself. This may require new skills of course, particularly in conjunction with a much needed influx of young people into the sector. Here again I have my own views… but this may be the subject for another blog!
For now, my own reading of trade press (outside my business hours when it's obviously part of my duties) is limited to times when I can't get on line, like in the garden, on airplanes (take-off and landing!) and similar constrained circumstances. Once these constraints go then printed media will inevitably join the realms of niche interests, like steam engines and illuminated manuscripts.

"Lilli, I'm glad to see you've woken. did you sleep well?"
"very well but how?"
The king nodded, "How did I get here?"
Lilli nodded.
"I don't really know. the last few days have been a blur, but I remember searching for your mother's spinning wheel." he looked at the spinning wheele. "Purhaps your mother's magic has passed down to you."He smiled.
She returned the smile with one of her own, "How do we get out?"
Her father held the cord she had spun. "with magic." he said and took from his belt a drop spindle. he attached the spindle to the cord and let it spin, the spindle floated int he air and spun there was a shimmer over the roll of cord. suddenly the cord twisted itself into a rope.
Lilli gapped as she watched the cord. "I don't understand.
the king was still smiling, "You knew your mother had magic when it came to fiber, I have some too. and now that the curse was lifted I can use it again."

Lawrence and Mary Eliza Cotten Fountain remains moved from family farm
This is the article we wrote to put in local newspapers and many libraries.This all happened in Edgecombe County, NC.
Lawrence and Mary Eliza Cotten Fountain remains movedfrom family farm
By Dee Long and Bill Fountain
We are two great grandchildren who initiated this project:Ardelia Harper Long "Dee" of Tarboro and William Buckley Fountain "Bill" of Richmond, VA.
This past June the remains of Lawrence Fountain (1832-1895) and his wife, Mary Eliza Cotten Fountain (1841-1921) were moved 3 and 3/10 miles from a cotton field on Route 33 to the William and Mary Hart Presbyterian Church cemetery in Leggett.They were placed beside their son, William Fountain.
Lawrence had just a few remains and Mary Eliza was buried in a metal vault.After the cotton was harvested in October, their double headstone was moved, too.
Like many people in eastern North Carolina, years ago, Lawrence and Mary Eliza were buried on their farm land.It is north of the Leggett Church and inherited by their oldest child, Ardelia Fountain Harper.It has remained in family hands.
We made this move for the following reasons:First, there was a risk something could happen to the tombstone or the gravesite.Second, in 1921, Mary Eliza's funeral service was the first in the newly built Church.Third, visiting the new burial site would be much easier at the Church cemetery.Fourth, these important and wonderful ancestors deserve the extra attention, such as, what the Church's perpetual care would provide.
Lawrence Fountain was the older brother of Almon Fountain and Mary Elizabeth Fountain, the son of Loderick Fountain and the grandson of Solomon Fountain, a Revolutionary War soldier.Mary Eliza Cotten's parents were John Llewellyn Cotten and Mary Pennia Tart Bell Johnson.
Lawrence was born in 1832 and made his living farming.He started with 60 acres inherited from his father in 1854.In 1857, he married Mary Eliza Cotten who was from Edgecombe County, also.During the Civil War, Lawrence had chronic dysentery.This prevented him from serving in the Confederate Army, but he was in the Edgecombe County Home Guard.After the War, Lawrence and Mary Eliza acquired numerous parcels of land and had ten children.
Their ten children were:Ardelia Fountain Harper, Theodore Fountain, Jefferson Loderick Fountain, Mary Etta Fountain Ellsworth, Nancy Ellen Fountain Long, Lafayette Fountain, Florence Fountain Peele, William Fountain, Lawrence Henry Fountain, and Alice Priscillia Fountain Peacock.
After Lawrence died in 1895, Mary Eliza agreed to all of their net assets being distributed equally to their 10 children.This interesting agreement gave their children a head start in life.Mary Eliza lived 25 more years in the family home.Her cash needs were covered by her children.
We worked with Funeral Director Mel Caison of Carlisle Funeral Home who dealt with county and state authorities and arranged for the actual move.We started with an incomplete genealogical record of descendants.After nine months spent locating as many living nearest of kin as possible, contact was made to obtain the required written permissions.
Information was sent to 43 descendants explaining this project.We received 34 "permission forms" approving the move and no one objected.Many sent donations to cover the cost and we paid the remaining amount owed.
Now the family's genealogical record has been substantially updated but, we have not finished. If any readers can help us locate living descendants of the following three children, please email us at email@example.com:1. Jefferson Loderick Fountain who married Mary A. King in 1890 and had seven children; 2. Mary Etta Fountain who married Joseph Franklin Ellsworth in 1881 and had seven children; 3. Florence Fountain who married John Peele in 1891 and had nine children.
