There is a very wide range of tractors that are there to choose from and this also means that is all important before you buy a tractor that the tyres have the correct tread on them for the purpose that you want them and also to ensure the tractor has been well looked after. Independent, push-button PTO also means the rear and mid PTO may be engaged with no clutching or reaching for levers. The stabilizing legs on backhoe loaders help to keep the equipment from tipping over when it is in use and moving heavy materials.. Sure, luck plays a part in our successes, but we've spent countless hours planning, working, sacrificing and researching to get where we are today. Actually, Volvo imagines fuel cells that can be moved back and forth on the body of the excavator according to the amount of counterweight required when shoveling and lifting. Henry Ford, who made cars available to ordinary people by having them produced on assembly lines also contributed to giving the tractor a breakthrough.
Even though modest changes in the CX330s digging linkage geometry will contribute to the higher forces of digging, the big guns here are the refinement of the trench with it's open center hydraulic system. Case Tractors is how most people know the company.
First of all, because they have a sense of nostalgia, of times where things were different and, according to some, better.. There are many different reasons as to why a diesel compact tractor is superior to a gasoline garden tractor for sale.. Again, as the name suggests, the overhead crane is a tall crane that is sometimes referred to as a suspended crane. The Ferguson-Brown tractor was the first tractor to have a hydraulic lift and a three-point linkage system..
Dorman diesel engine and a five speed gearbox.
This advanced gearbox was first produced in the 1970s however because of the lack of money that was available to fund it, it was never actually used, that was until 1996 when the Fendt Company introduced the Fendt 926 Vario.. In 1918 the Deere & company decided to continue the tractor side of their business and purchased the Waterloo Gasoline Engine Company, which was the company that produced the Waterloo Boy tractors all those years before.. The Caterpillar D-11 can be distinguished from it closest rival the Komatsu D-475 by the elevated drive that is on the Komatsu and this one works on an oval shape whereas the Caterpillar D-11 works on a tracked system.
The first engine-powered farm tractors used steam and were introduced in 1868.
Basically, it has twice as many cross chains as the four-link spacing, which only has a cross chain every fourth side chain link.. Gasoline powered tractors are best fit for the residential purposes for mowing a limited area and the diesel powered tractors are fit for plowing a large area or for long distance traveling equipped with the attachments.
Some models of tractors are far more popular than others and attract an awful lot more attention which is often reflected in the end price. Finally the cabin is a bit like your office, so make sure you get it right, ensure that it is a comfortable place for you to work. If you buy the bare minimum horsepower to operate the implements routinely used, your secondhand tractor will be in a constant state of strain and more likely to underperform or cause more wear and tear than necessary.
It is essential to consider the horsepower of the tractor when you are searching to purchase a tractor..
If you have already started your search for a secondhand farm tractors then you will be aware that there are hundreds of different makes and models that you can choose from. Given your specifications, we can guide you as to which secondhand tractor will best power the implements needed to do the jobs under your farm conditions.
when determining the price of the tractor the main thing you should take into account is the number of working hours of the engine, more hours of service tractor has put in the lower asking price should be.. Most farm tractors are capable of having a low-maintenance working life..
There are attachments that can be added such as mowing, cutting, ploughing, hauling and digging which many people find suitable for the chores they are looking to do. A significant point to remember when looking for a tractor for sale is to figure out whether you want gas or diesel powered vehicles. It is very important to get a tractor, which has a strong enough engine to do what you will want them to.

Word 2007 has two built-in methods for tagging content. If you go to the developers tab you will find the ribbon has a section for Controls and a section for XML. The Controls are also referred to as Content Controls. The XML section allows you to define schemas that can be applied to your document and is sometimes called Custom XML.
Both of these constructs can be used when you are coding an application which needs to identify a part of a document and take some action on it. The Content Controls are represented by SdtBlocks and SdtRuns in the Open XML SDK 2. Where as, the Custom XML is represented by CustomXMLBlocks and CustomXMLRuns.
The Content Controls made for a lot of confusion when I first investigated using them since there are multiple types. For my purposes only one really makes sense and that is the Rich Text. It can be applied to any area of a document regardless of content. Even with this capability I found that Content Controls didn't fit my needs.
I realize that Microsoft views Custom Controls as more reliable because they are not tied to a schema that defines an strict document, but that isn't how we use the schema. Our schemas are a list of custom identifiers which the users can reliably apply to a document.
As an example, the name of a company may need to be inserted 100 times in random locations throughout a document. This doesn't fit a tightly structured schema, but it is also a risky to have the person editing the template enter an identifier by hand for each Content Control.
Accurate naming is just as important if not more important than identifying the type of objects contained in a tag when processing a template. Add to this the fact that you may need to identify sections by business usage and can contain multiple child objects such as charts, tables, images and paragraphs.
Between law suites and a change in approach by Microsoft it seems that Custom XML is going away. Microsoft needs to supply more guidance as to what approaches should be taken for marking up templates in a consistent fashion. They also need to come up with a solution for what I see as major a major weakness of Content Controls for this type of usage.
Lastly, both features are only available in Word. We do more template work with PowerPoint than we do Word which puts our development at a disadvantage. People want this data to "present" and therefore need be able to generate "presentations". Getting similar functionality in PowerPoint is essential. Hopefully we will see these improvements going forward.

The Music of Lowell H. (Rick) Prescott
Event Design
Auto Play
Pop song, Demo (1983), from
The Golden Years
I don't want to talk about it
Since you have gone away
I knew you wouldn't stay
So here in my glass surroundings
Growing my hair so long
I looked and you were gone
You're just a bird
Using your wings
Leave me alone
To find other things
Don't whisper a word
Child of my mind
You're just a bird
You're death in me while I'm living
Scar on my hand, a lie
You didn't say goodbye
I turned away just a moment
Loosened my grip and then
I need you once again
You're just a bird
Singing your song
Whistling a tune
Floating along
You know what you heard
Child of my dreams
You're just a bird
I'm just a bird
Singing a song
What does it say?
Is anything wrong?
Just reading the words
Child of my life
You're just a bird

Bath boss Mike Ford has lavished praise on outstanding winger Semesa Rokoduguni following the win over Saracens on Friday.
The British Army soldier has made waves since joining Bath in 2012, taking the Premiership by storm and winning a call-up to the England Saxons.
Rokoduguni was at it again in the 21-11 victory at The Rec, with Ford singling him out for praise.
"Roko has been the stand-out winger all year. In terms of defenders beaten last season and defenders beaten this season thus far, he's second to none," said Ford.
"He is learning the game as well. You saw a couple of good kicks there from him, too, when the time was right, although I don't want him to kick too much.
"He is hard to stop and he has been phenomenal for us.
"We know we can get better. Last season was great for us in terms of confidence and being on the right track, and now we have added more detail.
"When we scored our second try and ran it from our own 22, that's players making good decisions, it is not coaches saying 'kick this or run this'.
"I am committed to it. It is important we try to play the Bath way. We can play a number of ways because we have got the pack to do it."
Ford also admitted that while the performance against Saracens had been great, the approach to the previous week away to Northampton had been slightly wrong.
"It was a great performance," added Ford.
"Defensively, we were up and at them, knocking them back and giving them no time to create anything. Last weekend (against Northampton) I was over-protective.
"I concentrated on not to lose instead of winning. We wanted to go out tonight and play our way, and when you've got a pack that can give you that sort of ball, you would be stupid not to play like that.
"We could have lost, but I was determined to play the way we wanted to. We are still only scratching the surface. It is going to be really exciting where we are going with this team."

International Business Internships in Mongolia
- Placement location: Ulaanbaatar
- Role: To work within the business sector of a local company in a fast growing economy
- Requirements: None
- Business Sectors: Business Administration, Management, Accountancy, Finance, Agricultural Finance, Market Research, Construction, IT, Marketing and Business Consulting
- Accommodation: Host family
- Length of placement: From 4 weeks
- Start dates: Flexible
A Projects Abroad Business internship in Mongolia is a chance for interns to gain international work experience and contribute to the economic growth of a developing country. Whether you are on a gap-year and looking to get into a related university course or looking for employment in a particular sector following graduation, our Business internships offer you the opportunity to gain direct work experience that will increase your prospects in a highly competitive job market.
Since the democratic revolution of 1990, Mongolia's capital has become one of the fastest-growing cities in Central Asia. Ulaanbaatar now has many surprising opportunities for business growth.
The country's major industries include mining, agriculture, and cashmere. China, Russia, the US, and Canada are some of Mongolia's major trading partners. Many world famous corporations are doing business in Mongolia and more than 70 countries have already invested in the country. As well as planning to increase its economic trade with neighbouring countries, Mongolia is also eager to boost its tourist industry.
Interning Abroad with Business in Mongolia
There are opportunities for those who wish to work within the areas of business administration, management, accountancy, finance, agricultural finance, market research, construction, IT, marketing, and business consulting. We have internships for you in a wide range of manufacturing companies. Imports account for around 90 per cent of Mongolia's consumer spending and as a result, trading companies dominate the economy.
If you have an interest in a different area of business please let us know. Provided we have been given enough notice, we will work hard to find an internship to suit your requirements. Please contact us for more information.
Business Interns in Mongolia
An internship in the business sector could involve you working with a director or general manager of a small or medium-sized company. These companies often handle cross-border contracts with Russian and Chinese clients. You will therefore get a first-hand experience of the global economy.
During the internship, you are expected to be punctual and professional and are required to work normal office hours. When you arrive at work on your first day, you will be assigned a supervisor who will be able to give you advice and support you during your placement. Of course our Projects Abroad staff are always on hand too, if you should have any questions or problems.
The work you do will depend on the placement, but be prepared for a challenge. You will get involved with the day-to-day activities of the office. These could include contacting different clients, working with business support teams, researching for current or future projects, putting together portfolios, attending meetings, or working on set briefs.
For your colleagues, exposure to an English language speaker is highly beneficial as it will enable them to advance their own language skills. Work colleagues will often have good levels of English but will be eager to learn more. You might find yourself teaching a few informal bits of English at times, or proofreading texts and you will probably find yourself receiving dinner invitations too.
Whichever internship you are working on, your input will be greatly encouraged and appreciated. Take the opportunity to make your own suggestions, explain about how things work back home, or learn some of the language. Your adaptability and willingness to learn will be greatly appreciated.
"Not only is my placement itself amazing but so are the people I am working with. All Mongolian people are so friendly that I can call my co-workers colleagues and also my best friends. Mongolian people are very hospitable and it is normal that just after you meet someone new, you will be called their friend and that you will be invited to their home for dinner!"
Valerie van den Brule
Business Project intern in Mongolia
If you have qualifications or experience in this field then we can make use of your skills volunteering abroad as a professional in Mongolia.
While you're in Mongolia, you might also consider joining a 1 week Conservation & Environment Project. For more information, please visit our Nomad Project in Mongolia page. Our Combinations Page explains how you can combine not only projects, but also destinations.
Although it is not required for you to speak Mongolian to volunteer in Mongolia, learning a few basics is always helpful. You can also choose to do the Mongolian Language Course before or during your placement.

The Leave of Absence Team supports employees as they pursue a leave of absence to handle issues that arise in one's personal life. If you have questions about leave, contact the Leave of Absence Team at [email protected].
DCPS offers the following leave of absences:
Ready to apply? Please ensure that you have your medical certification completed by the attending physician. If you do not please print out the form below and have it complete before starting your application.
LOA Medical Certification Form. Once the form is completed, please start your Leave of Absence Application.
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) entitles eligible DCPS employees to take unpaid, job-protected leave for specified family and medical reasons with continuation of group health insurance coverage under the same terms and conditions as if the employee had not taken leave.
DC FMLA: Will grant up to 16 weeks of medical or family care leave during a 24-month period to entitled employees that work within the District of Columbia. The employee must be employed by the same employer for one (1) year without a break in service. In addition, he/she must have worked at least 1,000 hours during the 12-month period immediately before the date when the leave is due to commence.

March 2018 housing market reports are now posted by the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors on NEFAR.com. Except where otherwise indicated, statistics reflect combined results for single-family residential and condominium properties.
Closed sales ended the month at 2,389 units, up from 1,894 in February and 1,610 in January, although down 9.4 percent from March 2017's 2,636 sales. Pending sales – those on which a contract has been signed but have not yet closed – rose to 2,921, a 4.8 percent increase from a year ago.
The median sales price for the month was $224,118, which represents a 15.1 percent spike over last March's $194,700 median. The average sales price was higher, reaching $269,415, for an 11.3 percent increase over a year ago.
A key indicator for the month was 3,846 new listings; up nearly five percent from 3,667 new listings in March 2017. With persistent low inventory being the dominant trend in Northeast Florida, and in much of the nation, for the past couple of years, an increase in listings is worth watching. The final inventory tally, however, was 8,021 – down 11.7 percent from a year ago and representative of only 3.3 months' worth of supply on hand (five- to six-months in inventory is considered a balanced market).
Due to demand, 12.4 percent of all sales for the month were for more than the original listing price. This occurs when multiple buyers, eager to secure their choice of home, place ever increasing offers on listed properties and driving up sales prices.
Sales are taking place briskly, with 70 days being the average number of days on market. This figure is 15.7 percent faster than the 83 days average last March.
2018 NEFAR President Ben Bates said, "Northeast Florida continues to be a robust seller's market. More homeowners recognized that and became home sellers in March."

Blogging 101 states that in order to pull people into your profile you need to have swanky & catchy titles of your blog posts! If the colorful alliteration of "pimping, plump, profile" does not work, then I have failed you as an armature/novice blogger! Any who, the theme of today's blog is nostalgia. Particularly the nostalgia I felt as I accidently stumbled across my old MySpace page (this is where the pimping a not so plump profile inspiration comes from 🙂 . You remember MySpace right?! In relation to the social media trend, it was after Xanga and before Facebook. Myspace, like Facebook, allowed you to add friends, post "status' like statements, upload pictures and write notes for others to see. While these characteristics seem very similar to the Facebook of today, there were a few things i remember being a bit different.
1. No matter how low you were on the social totem pole, you ALWAYS had at least one friend, Tom!
2. You could use HTML codes to change the background of your page to mimic your current mood. With the click of a save button you could have something romantic as falling hearts on a pink backdrop with what ever song you and your crush danced to at your first homecoming, to a more subtle black background with flashing skull and bones playing the newest Avril song that your swear was written about your recent break up.
3 You can post these surveys on your about me so that ANYONE (even that creepy stalker guy down the road ) could know EVERYTHING about you, but were mainly there in hopes that your crush would read the about you section and realize that you have SOOO MUCH IN COMMON. I will note that I may have been guilty of changing the info on those surveys once or twice to fit the answers of the would be suitors answers. Yea..it never worked lol
Lessons Learned too Little too Late..
After revisiting MySpace after a long 4 year absence I learned a few things about my 20 year old self, some of which I wouldn't exactly say I am thrilled about sharing! But at this point you either don't care, or have already goggle searched the following terms: Jennifer Shidler+Myspace, Jennifer Kilburn+Myspace, Jennifer Kilburn Shidler+Myspace. (ill save you the time, MySpace screen name is iamthewalrus87, and no, I'm not kidding)
1. After 4 years I still have 192 friends (including the creepy papa johns guy that wrote his number on the back of my receipt after delivering the ever popular 3 am pizza) ..Yeah..I'm cool! Just like my Facebook page, more than 65% of these people (Tom included) are nothing more than aquatiances and people I met briefly in college. Delete them? Never! You never know when your going to need to know the name of that one nice dining hall lady that always gave me an extra cookie in the Blumberg dinning hall freshman year!
2. The last post on my page was from over 3 years ago from a gentleman from my high school exclaiming that he just "bought me as his pet" and that if I clicked on his link I could figure out my worth. Why did we ever switch to Facebook?!
3. That filter one has when it comes to posting embarrassing pictures of yourself on your own social media sites apparently does not exist on Myspace, as proven by a few of the pictures I had managed to delete from every hard drive I ever owned, but still managed to think it was ok to post on the Myspace. (and again on here bahaha)
4. I REALLY wanted people to know that I LOVE listening to music. Even I was like "Shut up already" while reading the about me section of my profile. Here are just a few quotes that were sprinkled through out.."In my spare time i LISTEN TO MUSIC..infact it dosnt have to even by my spare time, i listen to music no matter what im doing..whether its at the front desk of my dorm working, in the car driving, in the shower, walking to class, there is always music" "Someday I would like to meet Paul Mccartney" …."MUSIC I LOVE MUSIC MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF…..MY IPOD MY FRIENDS CALL HER FIFI.. MUSICAL I LOVE MUSICALS PROLLY CAUSE I LIKE MUSIC…CAN I HAVE A SHOUT OUT FOR MOULIN ROUGE WEST SIDE STORY Fiddler on the roof AND RENT RENT RENT" My favorite (most annoying) example is to long to copy for it is longer then this actual blog post in its entirety so instead I shall show you with a snapshot of the screen. I pretty much pulled up my iPod and typed in EVERY name that appeared in the artist column. Yes, I give you permission to roll your eyes. I know i did.
5. That I attempted to be as funny and witty in my writing on my "blog posts" on Myspace as I do on here. At one point I filled out a survey and had it posted on my about me section. One of the questions asked something as random as what was the last thing you ate, to which i replied "a tender crisp chicken sandwich from Burger King" (freshman 15..try freshman, 15-30-45). A few sections later it was asking romance questions. To which i had no romance experience at this time proven by my answer. The question was, Who was the last person you looked longingly at, with out missing a step I responded "Well that chicken sandwich I just ate was pretty sexy looking"…..The skinny angel on my shoulder is shaking its head right now, while the fat kid inside of me is half tempted to ask my husband if he knows when burger king closes tonight 🙂
6. I actually put my body description as brown hair, 5'6 and "more to love"….yep…totally didn't seem myself regretting a statement like that four years ago. Ugh.
7. I filled out wayyyyyy to many of those surveys I mentioned in the first few sections of this blog. And after reading about 90% I've come to the conclusion that my answers were almost always catered to whoever I thought would be reading them. Make believe, fairy tales written just to
trick convince the "crush" of the month (the word "crush" makes me cringe) that we were so in tune with each others life, and then they would "know' that we were in fact destined to be together forever, a MySpace match made in heaven..err..cyberspace.
Exhibit B. The survey question was "What was your favorite pet you've ever owned"
Jennifer Kilburn of 2007 answer was " My favorite pet was my horse sparky, such a good soul and caring heart, I am going to miss him! <3"
There are sooooo many things wrong with this I do not even know where to begin. Not once in my 25 non-equine owning years of life have I EVER owned a horse, and definitely not one named Sparky. In fact, Sparky, If I remember correctly, was the nick name that the "cool" kids made up for me in 5th grade and tormented me with until the 10th grade when I gave them a box of candy bars to stop (yes..I was that kid in school..just briefly though 🙂 ). And while being knighted with the nick name of Sparky is cool, I don't think it qualifies me as a horse owner, just saying.
Dear readers, it is my promise to you, that I, once and for all, complete a Myspace survey giving only true and honest information, a promise way over due! Before I begin, I would like to have a quick moment of silent for all those make believe pet horses out there with good souls and caring hearts that left us way to soon, Sparky, this honest and true survey is for you buddy!….

036. Been dumped?
Can honestly say no to this one! I have had one official boyfriend, one official fiance and one very official husband!
037. Gone skinny dipping?
Yes….beginning to rethink my statement of complete honesty.
038. Stolen Anything?
Have you seen my salt and pepper collection?…Still rethinking my honesty statement lol

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has said that if she wins the White House, her justice department "would have no choice" but to pursue an obstruction of justice case against President Donald Trump after he leaves office.
The California senator and some other Democrats in the 2020 race are pushing their party to initiate the impeachment process in the wake of special counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Mr Mueller has said he was unable to exonerate Mr Trump of obstruction but could not pursue potential charges because of a Justice Department policy that bars the indictment of a sitting president, a policy Ms Harris has said she would ask her justice department to re-examine.
"Everyone should be held accountable," Ms Harris told NPR in an interview that aired on Wednesday.
"And the president is not above the law."
Ms Harris, a former California attorney general who also was San Francisco's district attorney, later said she would not dictate the outcome of any prospective efforts to charge Mr Trump.
"The facts and the evidence will take the process where it leads," she said.
Suggesting that Mr Trump face prosecution after he leaves office is a fine line for any Democrat after the party has excoriating him for politicising the Justice Department.
Impeachment remains popular with Democrats' base voters, but the party's congressional leaders are more cautious because the Republican-controlled Senate does not likely have the votes to remove Mr Trump from office.
Mr Harris is not alone among 2020 Democratic presidential hopefuls in criticising the Justice Department policy that Mr Mueller cited in declining to look at obstruction charges in his nearly two-year investigation of Mr Trump.
Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, the first candidate to fully endorse the start of impeachment proceedings in the wake of Mr Mueller's report, pledged last month to end that policy if she is elected president.
Ms Harris and Ms Warren are among nearly one-half of their party's 20-plus primary field in calling for the start of an impeachment inquiry, though few contenders are making that stance a centrepiece of their campaigns.
But Ms Harris, who is running in part on the strength of her legal and law enforcement experience, appears to have taken a step further than her opponents in affirming that a Justice Department in her administration "should" look at charging Mr Trump with obstruction once he no longer is president.
"I do believe that we should believe Bob Mueller when he tells us, essentially, that the only reason an indictment was not returned" was because of the current policy that bars indictment of a president while in office, Ms Harris told NPR.
"But I've seen prosecution of cases on much less evidence."
Eric Columbus, who served as a justice department and department of homeland security lawyer during the Obama administration, suggested recently on Twitter that any Democratic candidate asked about seeking charges against Trump answer by promising, "unlike the current president," not to "interfere with" the impartial administration of justice.
The statute of limitation for seeking obstruction charges, as in most federal criminal cases, is five years from the time an alleged crime is committed.
The time limit for charges in conspiracy cases begins at the time of the last act in an alleged conspiracy.

April 11, 2019
MageHD built and manages our website–we couldn't have asked for better service!!! Gary is very knowledgeable! We would be lost without him. He takes great care in understanding our needs and gives input to elevate every aspect of the experience for us and our customers.
Loving my new website
April 11, 2019
I recently launched my e-commerce website with MageHD and I couldn't be happier. Working with Gary was very pleasant as he understood my vision and even offered a few suggestions to take the site to another level and make it stand out from the crowd.
Gary responds quickly to any and all maintenance concerns I have and is very easy to work with.
I can't express my gratitude enough for his exceptional work.

Tanti said the tendency of the tea garden worker is to spend their entire bonus amounts in largely frivolous purchases. "The impulse to purchase increases when they have substantial money in hand, and the last thought they have on their minds is to save some money," he said. He hoped that the workers will inculcate the habit of saving.
With 20 per cent bonus, the average worker can expect to receive Rs 7,000, while the sardar category can expect to receive up to Rs 12,000 per head. However, this is peanuts, considering the lakhs the managerial cadre gets by way of bonus.
All the 49 tea estates under McLeod Russell, eleven of MK Shah Exports, 21 of Tata (Amalgamated Plantations), 10 of Dhunseri Tea & Industries, nine of Andrew Yule, five of Rossel Industries, four of James Warren, five of Jalan Industries, four of Amgoorie India, two of Goodricke, four of Jorehaut Group, four of Stuart Holl, two of Amarawati Tea, 14 of Assam Company (India) Limited, 15 of Assam Tea Corporation, eight of Gillanders Arthbutnot, 16 of Apeejay Group have agreed to the full bonus payments.
Among the smaller tea gardens, which have already agreed to 20 per cent bonus, include Tiloijan, Silonibari, Bihubar, Kalyani, Kanoi Group, Baisahabi, Badulipara, Achabam, Langkasi, Grob Tea, Nilmoni, Joonktollee, Jamirah, etc.
The tea garden workers in Assam are paid cash wages of Rs 120 per day, while their allowances and facilities all add up to a real wage of about Rs 265 per day. Several organizations like the AASAA, ATTSA and others are of the view that the tea workers' cash wages should be hiked to Rs 177 per day. They are also suggesting better allowances and working conditions.

Sammy was a truck driver stuck in my husband's place of work, a truck fixing place—what's that called anyway—a really big garage I guess. Anyway, it was Christmas Eve and Sammy was supposed to be home with his wife and children in Georgia, but instead he was stranded in Wisconsin in a cold garage. He was leaning against the service counter with his head down when I arrived to pick up my husband from work. I'd brought our two dogs into the shop as a special Christmas treat for everyone. Merry Christmas, Guys! Time to get home and celebrate. Atticus, the schnauzer, promptly lifted his leg on one of Sammy's tires, unleashing a steamy stream of urine that left an impressive puddle. It was kind of fitting really because Sammy's truck wasn't going anywhere for some time. I guess it was super broken. It had let him down, and on the most important night of the year. Atticus must have sensed that.
I'd been feeling pretty blue, but had been trying to hide it in public for quite a while by then. I found it difficult to get out of bed in the morning and impossible to stay away from that same bed with its heating pad and two willing dog companions as each gray day unfolded. I mean, it was Christmas and I was going to be with none of my kids or grandkids, not for months. Granted, I had just gone to visit them the month before, but I already deeply missed them and I'd never been away from the little ones, who really aren't that little anymore, on Christmas. And I was living in a state I loved but that was 2,000 miles away from the state where I'd built a life for thirty-eight years.
I was missing all kinds of things and people I had loved and many that I had taken for granted. I still planned on making a big Christmas dinner, but it would only be a dinner for three: my husband, his father, and me. And it had rained for weeks in a state that should have been a winter wonderland by then. My roof leaked. The yard was a mud hole. The holding tank had filled up just that very morning, setting off an alarm almost as offensive as the smell in the mud hole yard, and nobody likes to call Pat's Crap Pumping Service on Christmas Eve. My solar Christmas lights obviously wouldn't turn on because there'd been no sun forever. My pink fudge didn't set. I wasn't writing. What was there to get up for?
And then came Sammy, and Sammy wanted to get home for Christmas. He hadn't been able to rent a car with his out-of-state driver's license. My husband suggested the airport. Could he get a flight? We would drive him. Sammy didn't know if he could get a flight, but it was his best chance. Soon, Sammy, my husband, Atticus, our other dog, Diesel, and myself were all crowded into my little blue Beetle headed for the airport. It was about a half hour drive going in the opposite direction from the mud hole, making the round trip to pick up my husband something like two hours.
I'm a nervous driver when it comes to driving on freeways or anywhere near a city, but I found myself relaxing as Sammy told his story. He had left Africa at twelve-years-old, alone. He was the only member of his family who was able to emigrate. He lived in a small town in Utah and attended high school there. He loves America. He said that "the father Bush was the president when I came, so I liked him. He let me come to America. I couldn't understand when Clinton suddenly got the job. How can someone replace the president?"
He said the president in his former country had been in power for twenty-five years and there was nothing anyone could do to change it. His family was afraid when Sammy would visit because Sammy had learned about free speech and they thought he'd get killed for speaking out about how bad things were there. He said, too, that Americans are the nicest, most helpful people in the world. He said that in other countries people won't even give you directions, much less a ride to the airport. I think Sammy is a little partial to America and that there are lots of nice people everywhere, but it was still nice to hear.
He teared up when I asked him if his children believed in Santa. I cried, too. My husband was in the back seat with the two dogs, but the car is so small that his face was only a few inches behind us. I glanced back at him and his eyes were bright blue with tears. Suddenly, it was starting to feel like Christmas.
Sammy got a flight and Mike and I headed home. By this time we too hungry to go home and cook the special dinner we'd planned just for the two of us so we began searching for an open restaurant. We stopped at two places that had their lights on and doors open, but they were having private parties and weren't serving the public. It was Christmas Eve, sorry. So we did the unthinkable and drove through a MacDonald's. We got cheeseburgers for the dogs, too.
When we arrived home, we waded through the mud and entered the front door. We both remarked on how cozy the little cottage looked. We each poured a glass of wine, his red and mine white, and Mike checked his phone. There was a message from Sammy.
Merry Christmas and Thank You. I'll talk to you soon. It was a pretty good Christmas. Wishing all of you a good New Year with lots of random Sammys to bless you.

Ok, Maybe You Do Want To Get Your MFA
Need a Space to Write?
Most of us have no choice but to write wherever and whenever we can. And should we be lucky enough to find a little free time and a secluded spot, life still has a habit of interfering. Now I've seen it all, desktop computers with full 22 inch monitors in a busy Starbucks, to textbooks, bags and papers laid out across small spaces alienating both customers and café owners. In the end, finding a good spot to write takes exploration, consideration, good etiquette and thinking outside of the box.
You should be looking for:
- Location (Near transportation)
- Service (Laid back with inexpensive but good food)
- Atmosphere (Ample lighting and good seating)
- Wi-Fi & Electrical Outlets
- Extended hours of operation
- Amount of Traffic: (You don't want to take up space and potential revenue for long periods of time, so find the best places and times to go to a particular café to avoid these kinds of issues)
FREE (Wi-Fi & Seating)

- Blue Stockings Bookstore
- Starbucks (Sorry to say, it's time and tested, unless they plugged up the outlets :-))
- Most Major Hotel Lobbies: (The key with this is to walk in like you belong. Again use good judgment when using the space. Most places do not mind visitors and use of their space, especially if they have a café inside (but be prepared to buy something if they do)
- New York Historical Society Library (State of the art library across from Central Park and Museum of Natural History)
- Le Pain Quotidien (LPQ) (Great communal seating, A little expensive & Waiter service)

I have seen some memorial plaques on benches in Windsor Great Park. Is it still possible to purchase one of these?
For many years the seats in the Savill and Valley Gardens have been offered for sponsorship in memory of loved ones or to mark a significant event.
Though the seats are very numerous, particularly in the Valley Gardens, we have now reached a stage where every seat has a sponsor.
We also believe that all the areas where seats are required are now occupied and it would be to the detriment of both gardens to continue to add further seats.
Therefore, we have reluctantly decided to no longer accept requests for seats.
We realised that this is likely to be a disappointment to the many people who love and cherish both gardens and wish to have a tangible association, however, it would be wrong to continue adding more and more seats and the decision to cease this scheme is the right and proper one.
If you have any questions, please email email@example.com.
Is it possible to book The Savill Building or The Lawns in The Savill Garden for a party, wedding reception or business function?
Of course! Read more about venue hire options.

Case is that if you have tried installing NodeJS and tried running it under Cygwin you have gotten something like this:
/cygdrive/c/Dev/nodejs/npm: line 2: $'r': command not found
/cygdrive/c/Dev/nodejs/npm: line 4: $'r': command not found
/cygdrive/c/Dev/nodejs/npm: line 5: syntax error near unexpected token `$'inr''
'cygdrive/c/Dev/nodejs/npm: line 5: `case `uname` in
This is due to the Cygwin environment expecting Unix line feeds, whereas Windows (and the Node version compiled for it) are expecting Windows style line feeds. The trick here to using Node is simply to create an alias for it, making it run using the normal CMD shell. The fix is as easy as putthing this in your $HOME/.bashrc file:
alias npm="cmd /c npm"
Now you can
npm install all you want!

Look at this wonderfully beautiful cream knit cardigan from Warehouse. I have been looking everywhere for this winters perfect chunky knit, I didn't know yet if this was going to be in the form of a jumper, scarf or cardigan. And since I practically live in black I wanted to branch out and challenge myself to find a white/cream coloured item, and what a challenge it was! I'm never happy with certain shapes, fits, the particular look of a patterned knit, how small/big the yarn that are used and most importantly the price! As you can see from most of my outfit posts most of the things I buy are from Primark!
So when I saw this only size 12 cardigan on sale from £45 to £15, I grabbed it! Even though it's not my normal size I loved this oversized look and it's absolutely perfect to cosy up in for winter. x

They're not only tasked with keeping up with the latest technology, but also leveraging it to produce memorable, relevant, and informative content for their audiences – and proving the value of that content.

BD. Region B. Severin. Unrated.
I previously dug up and reviewed the Redemption VHS edition of The Other Hell (1980) elsewhere on this site, where I rashly described it as Bruno Mattei's "wildest and best" movie (or something along those lines… go click the link if you can be arsed, because I certainly can't). Since then, courtesy of a clutch of fine Severin / Intervision releases, I've been able to spend some quality time with the gob-slapping cannibal / zombie / WIP atrocities that Mattei perpetrated in the last few years of his career / life and am obliged to reconsider my assessment of this one as Mattei's finest hour-and-a-half…. or perhaps that should be twenty minutes, as much of the supplementary material on Severin's spanking new Blu-ray of The Other Hell lends weight to ongoing speculation that its nominal director "Stefan Oblowsky" comprises something like one part Mattei to every four parts Claudio Fragasso.
Fragasso contributes an amusing, highly self-deprecating commentary track (sample quote: "Zombie nuns… that's cool… because it's blasphemous!") He confesses that shots of a burning priest were bought in from the producers of The Legacy, drops the fascinating aside that at one point he was going to write a sequel to Bay Of Blood for Mario Bava and wonders: "Why is Umberto Lenzo always so angry?" Most memorably, one of the many faults he finds with The Other Hell is that it should have been a lot "crazier"… a mind-boggling judgement considering that the film's pre-titles sequence – wherein a deranged nun, apparently having just carried out a gory abortion in an alchemist's lab, rants about the genitals being "the door to evil" before stabbing one of her sisters-in-Christ to death, apparently at the psychic behest of a statue with red, throbbing eyes – is one of the more studied, subdued and subtle moments in this film, which subsequently relates the vain attempts of trendy cleric Father Valerio (Carlo De Mejo) to put these unfortunate goings-on down to psychiatric rather than Satanic malaise, while all around him bats attack crucifixes, nuns vomit blood after taking communion, stigmata rend every available inch of flesh, severed heads turn up in tabernacles, exorcists catch fire, devil babies are dunked in boiling water and psycho-kinetic sculptures force nuns to strangle themselves!
Sinister gardener Boris (perennial Mattei standby Franco Garofolo) delivers an unsolicited soliloquy about how he prefers animals to people, then leeringly decapitates an unfortunate chicken (you guessed, its headless body proceeds to take a jerky tour of the barnyard). The wheel of karma turns full circle when Boris, after killing a witch's cat, falls victim to his own guard-dog in a scene crudely cribbed from a certain Dario Argento picture. The film's title is clearly intended to reference another Argento picture, although naming this farrago "L'Altro Inferno" makes about as much sense as calling Alan Briggs' Suffer Little Children, another upcoming and suitably wholesome Severin (Intervision) release, "The Other Suspiria"!
Nobody's ever going to confuse The Other Hell with an entry in Argento's "Three Mothers" trilogy (hang on, I was forgetting Mother Of Tears!) but its sheer go-for-broke audacity, its all-out sense of accelerating, no-holds-barred delirium puts it ahead of even Joe D'Amato's Blue Holocaust (from which it swipe its Goblin score, its fluffed "shock" ending and its female lead Franca Stoppi) in the see-it-to-believe-it sick puppy stakes.
Stoppi is probably The Other Hell's trump card, chewing the scenery magnificently as Mother Vincenza. She comes across very well in the short interview on this disc, reminiscing about days spent shuttling back and forth between the sets of The Other Hell and Mattei's True Story Of The Nun Of Monza topped off by evenings on stage! Sadly, stage fright ended her career prematurely but she reinvented herself as an animal rights activist (and no, she wasn't at all happy about that chicken decapitation, though Fragasso describes it as "inevitable… chickens always end up like this!") before sadly passing away in 2011. The featurette To Hell And Back comprises archive interviews with Mattei and Carlo De Mejo. Elsewhere Fragasso offers some interesting observations as to why the careers of both De Mejo and Garofolo fell short of what those actors might otherwise have achieved.
Inevitably when a film of this vintage and provenance is re-rendered in Blu-ray there's going to be a certain amount of grain in evidence, but Severin have managed to keep this element within acceptable levels on a disc that cannot be denied a place on your shelf… Satan himself demands it!
Incidentally, towards the end of Fragasso's commentary track, he and his interlocutor are scratching their heads over the identity of the actor playing the priest in the film's lame "twist" ending. Is it not (I could be wrong) "Mark Shannon" (Manlio Cersosimo), who starred in any amount of goofy horror / porno crossovers for Joe D'Amato? If so, he manages the unprecedented feat here of keeping his dick in his trousers when confronted by a movie camera. Thank heaven for small mercies, eh?

Most of you will have met Bailey & seen my daily battles to keep Elvis from barging into the house. And because life isn't busy or exciting enough last year I decided to add an extra element of chaos to the day, Barbara.
We'd been thinking about getting another dog for a while but couldn't agree on what kind. I was insistent on another Bailey, something labrador based. Easily bribed with food of any kind, loyal and ploddingly dependable. David however had other ideas. Think of any breed know for stubbornness, needing a firm hand, lots of exercise. Preferably big and quite wary of strangers – that's what we were having. Not one suggestion would have passed the interview for ideal B&B dog.
We were at an impasse until the fateful hand of Facebook intervened with this photo.
Six puppies born in an animal shelter in Spain, plus mum, all needing homes. Heart melted, no discussion, puppy found. Obviously I didn't admit to having signed up to adopt, completed the application form and booked a home check. Just started to sow the seed that maybe we should adopt not shop. It wasn't an easy sell but gradually David started to come around to the idea. Endless puppy photos can be very wearing.
Unfortunately the whole litter contracted parvo from the shelter and gradually all of them were living at the vets. One by one they started to fade and I'd get daily updates from the Spanish fosterer to say that another hadn't made it. But two survived and I was delighted when we got to choose which we'd like? The boy or the girl.
Barbara moved to a wonderful foster home with her brother Eddie and a UK based charity Angels Kiss worked with Pets Go Home to arrange the transport here. For anyone thinking of doing the same I can't stress just how fabulous all of these people are. Everything was taken care of vaccinations, passport, transport. All we had to do was wait.
Obviously she checked in on Friday afternoon, just as everyone else did. So no time to settle in, straight to work as the new B&B dog on the block. She's a year old now and despite the escapology, chewing, trashing & early morning howling she's great.
So in order to give a little back and to help more dogs like Barbara we're going to be doing a couple of things and we'd like your help. Firstly we'll be holding a champagne High Tea on Sunday 15th July with all proceeds going to Teluma's Dream, (the charity run by Maria who initially rescued and then fostered Barbara.) If you like to come please give me a call.
We also now have two rooms where you are welcome to bring your bestie along. Rooms 1 & 6 are dog friendly with easy access to the garden. Unlike most places we don't charge a supplement for bring a well behaved dog. Instead we'll be providing a gift from Barbara and asking that you leave a donation (monetary not bagged!) to Angel's Kiss – the York based charity who co-ordinate the adoption and ongoing support once the dogs arrive in the UK.
So really hope to see you soon, either at the Sunday high tea, or with your fur baby. Babs and Bailey aren't the most sociable, they hate entertaining at home. But are always happy to share treats and the inside on the best walks in the area.

Well, the holidays have come and gone, so I won't be doing any Christmas or New Year's posts. How can that be? ME?! The master king of the holiday season?! Even Valentines Day has passed.
Since Easter just happened, I won't feel bad about a little Easter post ... my miniature milk carton to gift bags of Jordan Almonds (or some kind of more extravagant nuggets of sugary treasure!). All I used was Graphic 45 papers, chipboard embellishments, and stickers from Altered Pages.
A piece I just finished today is also created using products from Altered Pages and the Center Ring Spectacle Collection from The Mailbox Muse. If you don't received the seasonal muse theme collections from The Mailbox Muse, you should definitely look into it! Lots of surprises and high quality materials, including limited edition collage sheets and rubber stamps! Always something to get you going. Of course, I love vintage circuses, so the Center Ring Spectacle Collection was right up my alley! This little miniature shrine used about 1/20th of the stuff from the collection LOL.
Now go make something beautiful!
