Lilith handed mother a tasty apple
That pleases like tongue on this shooting nipple
And though through thorns and thistle and tares I rived
I did not change, but lived!
I couldn't cut through the clouds called 'horizon'
Only bitter eyes of frumpy kids that run
Whose parents fell in the lasting wars aggrieved
I did not change, but lived!
From devout Alter boy to God terminator
From fragile fearful fan to valiant gladiator
From sad sulking school boy society disbelieved
I did not change, but lived!
The rumour is humour, the terror a pleasure
That I lost the hearts for lust in arts inferior
Exegesis to savage narratives believed
I did not change but lived!
If these be hearts then in this card table I ace
I relinquish this wordy throne, I quit the race
Musty poets turned the game to boring solitaire
Plunge a sabre to a heart, reap a soul they dare.
But to be edified a legend must survive
And survive I must, I do not change, but live!

very fine poem
really strong use of repetition of the very strong message. Great language and power.
A good one!
(Try it without this...
The rumour is humour, the terror a pleasure
That I lost the hearts for lust in arts inferior
Exegesis to savage narratives believed
I did not change but lived!
I think the poem works better without it, there's too much going on in this stanza...like "arts inferior"... but don't explain what you were going for here, it needs to work by itself in the poem..)
But really Drey, a fine fine work with a very powerful presentation..
I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing
than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance

- 1 tsp sherry vinegar
- handful mint, leaves, finely shredded
There are several types of mint, each with its own subtle difference in flavour and appearance.…
Finely grate the zest of 3 of the lemons into a bowl. Halve all the lemons, then use a fork to squeeze out all the juice and pulp into the bowl with the zest – don't worry about the seeds. Crack the eggs into a separate bowl, then whisk in the caster sugar until completely combined. Whisk in the cream and lemon juice mix, then set aside.
Place a 23cm tart ring or loose-bottom flan tin on a baking sheet lined with greaseproof paper. On a surface dusted with icing sugar, roll out the pastry to the thickness of a £1 coin. Lift onto a rolling pin, then drape over the tart ring or flan tin, leaving the excess hanging over the edge. Carefully press the pastry into the sides with a small ball of pastry. Put in fridge or freezer for 20 mins to allow pastry to chill.
While the pastry is chilling, heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Prick the base of the pastry case, line with greaseproof paper and baking beans, then bake for 15 mins. Remove the paper and beans, then bake the case for 5-10 mins more until it is biscuity brown and crisp. Lower oven to 150C/fan 130C/gas 2.
Use a ladle to push the lemon custard through a sieve into a bowl, pressing down on the pulp to extract as much juice as possible. Skim the bubbles from the surface of the custard, then pour the custard into a jug. Pull the tart out of the oven slightly, then pour in the custard so it comes to the top. You may have some left over. Push tart back in, then bake for 35-40 mins until the top forms a light crust and the custard is just set. Leave to cool, then chill.
While the tart is cooling, make the berry salad. Place a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and scatter the icing sugar over the base. Heat until the sugar dissolves and caramelises. Throw in the berries, toss with the sugar, then splash in the sherry vinegar. Bubble for a min until everything is just starting to soften, then tip onto a plate and leave to cool slightly.
Use a serrated knife to trim away the pastry and make a neat edge. Dust the tart lightly with icing sugar, then use a blowtorch to caramelise the top. Leave the top to set, then repeat the process so that you get an extra-thick layer of caramel. Stir the mint through the berries. Serve the tart in slices with a bowl of the berry salad on the side.
Recipe Tip
Tip - BlowtorchCaramelising the tart with a blowtorch turns the top into a kind of crème brûlée.

Theresa May returned from the Salzburg EU Council in angry bird mode. In a fiery statement at 10 Downing Street she accused our 27 EU partners of a lack of respect and demanded that they come up with a workable alternative to her rejected Chequers Plan for Brexit. She was obviously riled by EU Council President Donald Tusk's admittedly cheeky Instagram posting of a photo of the two of them with a cake-stand loaded with pastries, captioned "A piece of cake, perhaps? Sorry, no cherries." This was a reference to the charge that Britain is trying to cherry-pick some of the greatest benefits of EU membership as it formally leaves the Union. Most notably, the Chequers Plan proposes effectively remaining in the European single market for goods and food, but not for services. The British government has been told repeatedly that this is a non-starter, as the EU is determined that the single market must not be undermined; it is indivisible. The 27 remaining members are united on that and French President Emmanuel Macron, in particular, was deeply irritated that Mrs May chirpily repeated her Chequers proposals at Salzburg all the same.
To make matters worse, back in Downing Street the Prime Minister asserted that the EU had not explained why the Chequers Plan won't work, which, to put it bluntly, is a lie. The EU's chief negotiator, Michael Barnier, had set out very clearly the fundamental objections some time ago to his clueless British counterpart, Dominic Raab. The EU also believes that the British still have not come up with a workable solution to the Irish border issue — and it is for Britain to do so, Brussels argues, as it is Britain that is leaving the EU, not the other way round. But it was clear from Theresa May's combative statement yesterday that facts are no longer at the centre of her political rhetoric. She has adopted the Trumpian disdain for truth that characterises her Brexiteer Tory MP colleagues. And it was to them, not to Brussels, that her remarks yesterday were really aimed. She is fighting to save her political skin. Chequers is dead as a dodo, but she is on the endangered list too, now. And meanwhile the clock ticks towards 29 March 2019, the scheduled date for Britain's departure from the EU, which seriously threatens to be a disastrous crashing out with no deal unless common sense — and ideally a People's Vote — prevails.

Our First Year
Today, April 25th, marks exactly one year that Lulu and I have been together as a couple. Our time together simultaneously seems to have flown by and, yet, have lasted a lifetime, both in the best possible way.
I'm unreasoningly pleased and proud at having reached this milestone. Though it's a short time by many different standards, in the context of long distance relationships (especially with distances as long as 9,000 miles), a year puts us in the nth percentile, well to the outlier part of the bell curve.
We had an unconventional and somewhat rocky start, my beloved and me. With the benefit of hindsight, I can see now what we couldn't in the moment: we (mostly me, really) were fearful and relied on factors outside of the two of us to prop up this burgeoning relationship. That was the first lesson: the two of us, together, are enough. We know now how to believe in us and rely on each other.
Our love grew quickly, blooming first into a deep bond of friendship. It seemed meant to be, as every revelation and discovery seemed to click into place, filling in the template of "the one" we each had imagined for ourselves. It seemed we had searched for many of the same things for what seemed like all our lives. We found each other despite the odds. And for that I'm immeasurably thankful.
As my parents used to teach me, nothing of great value is free.
Challenges strengthen bonds, and these we've had in abundance. Yet none have dimmed the glow of hopeful possibility, the light we share that pierces every dark cloud of worry.
This is but our beginning; we've only made a start. One year is an important milestone, yes. But my beloved and I intend to make this life's journey together–two lives, one heart.
So there will be many challenges, triumphs, set-backs, joys and opportunities. Many more milestones shall mark our path. "Lord willin', and the creek don't rise", as my gran used to say, this is the first of many anniversaries to count along our way. But until the next "big" one comes along, I intend to celebrate this and every day with my amazing Special Femme.
Happy Anniversary, my love. I look forward to fifty some-odd more to come!
My music
I've heard others comment on the musical quality of someone's voice. And music has long been used as a comparison device for any number of romantic or sentimental notions. People wax poetic, many with great skill of description, imbuing their prose with lyrical grace as they speak of the moving, restorative, healing, calming and spiritual power of music and their love's likeness to this musical miracle.
I find myself drawn to these comparisons and metaphors, as well, because music is so fundamentally moving. It's universality can connect people from polar opposite demographics and walks of life. People who can't even speak the same language, can often find common ground in the music they experience together. And the emotion, the artistry and spiritual expression in some music, sometimes not even intentional by the composer or performer, stirs the soul in ways no other stimulus can.
Except for love.
That's why love and a lover's voice is so often compared to music, a symphony, the melody, harmony and soundtrack of the soul. Love and music reach to the deepest depths of our being and move, motivate and transform us in unique and fundamental ways. Love and music are elemental forces that work on a level that requires no language and is independent of conscious influence.
That's what my beloved is to me.
She is the music, the symphony of my soul, the melody that accompanies the progress of my life. Her voice stirs my emotional response like no other's voice can. Hearing her sing makes me happy. Every. Time. The sound of my name and her terms of endearment for me from her lips is a welcome, motivating drumbeat that can't be recreated by anyone or anything.
I'm so thankful for the blessing my Special Femme is in my life. She is the light, the joy, the blessing that immeasurably enriches my life. She is the symphony of home and heart that calls to me, moment by moment, day by day, regardless how many miles lie between us.
My Lulu is the music of my soul.
Painful Lessons
I've had a headache for over a week.
Before you start lobbing "go to the doctor" bombs at my head, please be aware that I'm neither stupid nor a glutton for pain. I just know my body and this is one of the many daily, chronic headaches that I've experienced since I was in the seventh grade. The quality and intensity of the pain is exactly the same, if it is running longer than normal. It's not a migraine, and, in the immortal words of Arnold Schwarzenegger, "It's naht ah tooomah!" This isn't new to me.
But it IS painful.
The pain, in a sick and twisted way, is a teacher of sorts. Sometimes effective, sometimes dysfunctional. But I've definitely learned a few things from pain.
One thing I've learned in my years of dealing with sustained pain and pressure in my skull is that it is possible to compartmentalize a heckuva lot of sensory input and feedback in order to focus on the immediate moment. This ability can be key to getting things done in really crappy circumstances. It can also be a crutch to get from one moment to the next. But it can fail, spectacularly, at exactly the wrong moment. So it isn't a one-stop solution. But it's a good, occasional-use tool.
Another trick I've learned from pain is that smiling can often avert an embarrassing, technicolor return of one's last meal. That is, smiling can sometimes thwart the gag reflex and keep you from puking long enough to get to a bathroom. Smiling is also useful to mask the outward effects of a grinding, low-level, always-there pain. That's a necessary art, because if I've learned anything, it's that invisible pain is the slippery slope to ridicule and derision. If people can't see a wound or scar, they tend to think you're a goldbrick or hypochondriac and treat you as less-than. So, smiling through the ache can be a useful trick to preserve one's dignity on a number of levels.
Yet, it takes a toll–the pain and smiling through it–it has a fairly high price that eventually comes due. Patience and good humor inevitably wear thin. Energy and will power last only so long before they have to be recharged. Managing mouth, emotions and pain tolerance simultaneously is a tricky business at the best of times. But when nearing the end of patience or energy reserves, it's a whole 'nuther level of delicate. I've learned over the years to pay attention to those subtle (and not-so-subtle) hints from the folks around me that my tone or wit is a shade too sharp; for me that's a sure sign it's time to retrench on the rest and self-care.
But through all of this, pain teaches that we are each stronger, more than our circumstances, each of us able to cope with an amazing amount of adversity if we are careful to balance grit with rest, determination with discretion. And it can teach those outside of the pain, too. You who observe the pain of others, know that 'pushing through it', 'sucking it up' is often more an act of courage than capability. Try not to judge too harshly when someone's batteries run low and sucking it up no longer works.
So what's the point of this post?
The short answer for those who hurt: Listen to your body, take care of it, and be kind to yourself.
The slightly longer answer for those who see the pain of others: Don't assume from a smile or pleasant voice that a person isn't suffering (physically or emotionally). Pay attention to what someone is not doing or saying for a clue to what pain might be doing to them, and be sensitive to their efforts to make it work.

High Blood Pressure is well known these days as a widely spread non-infectious disease that affects both young and old and cutting across populations and races, including both the low and high strata in society.
High Blood Pressure as the name connotes is a disease brought on by the pressure impacted on the heart of the individual due to stress. Now, what is stress? Stress is another word for strain, pressure, or tension. This tension or strain is put on the heart which forces it to pump blood with extra vigour and thereby in turn putting a strain on this vital organ. How does stress bring about a strain on the heart and blood vessels?
As I go into this, I will like you to understand that in life stress is not all together a bad thing: stress makes us to be at alert; stress also makes us to achieve goals. But in life there are both good and negative stresses. The negative stress is the one that leads to one coming down with a disease such as high blood pressure. As the strain on the individual goes from positive to negative, 'stress' begins to build up. And as the negative strain persists for a period of time stretching beyond the individual's capacity to cope, then a diseased condition might as a result just set in. This is high blood pressure situation.
|You can fight off that stress
Again, let us now look at the intricate details of what goes on: At the onset of stress which by the way could either be due to emotional stress or physical stress, a panic measure by your body's emergency system is triggered off say in times of danger for instance or any form of emotional disturbance. This trigger alarm signals from your brain – 'shouting wolf' as it were. The alarm tells your entire system of an imminent danger and your pumping adrenalin begins to race fiercely down your arteries.
At the instance of this, your body mechanisms gather (cholesterol) fat and deposit it at the walls or linings of the blood vessels as if to block off a city gate from an enemy attack. Apart from emotional stress, physical stressors that can precipitate high blood pressure can include – overweight, a high salt intake, diabetes, etc. But alas, when the danger is over it is already too late; the fat deposits are already in place, never to return to where they came from.
As we go on, I will also right here and now let you know that there is an alternative to treating or even preventing high blood pressure, to the well known pharmaceutical approach to treating and managing high blood pressure or hypertension for that matter. The popular dictum among orthodox medical practitioners is that hypertension has no cure. But I say to you – this is not true! High blood pressure or hypertension can be well prevented, managed, and even treated by the wise application of what nature has freely provided in fruits, vegetables and, or herbs, and positive mindedness, etc. Also, and very important, is that we all must have to adopt a life style (changes) behaviour or habit that promotes our health needs in this direction. By life style changes, I am referring to your nutritional behaviours as well as physical exercise.

Professor Chronotis's TARDIS was disguised as the living quarters of Professor Chronotis at St. Cedd's College, Cambridge University. It was capable of holding another TARDIS within its force field and creating a bridge between the two to walk through.
This TARDIS was a Type 12, Mark 1 TARDIS, a much earlier version than the Doctor's Type 40, which Chronotis had salvaged from the scrap heap before leaving Gallifrey, something he was not meant to do under Time Lord law since as he had retired he was not meant to possess a TARDIS.
It could interfere in an individual's time stream, as Clare Keightley discovered when she reactivated the ship's controls, causing the previously deceased Chronotis to come back to life. (WC: Shada, AUDIO: Shada, PROSE: Shada, TV: Shada)
Features Edit
Professor Chronotis' TARDIS had completely different equipment compared to any other TARDIS considering it was much older than others used by different renegades: It featured no roundels, due to the interior being a library, and it didn't have a control console; instead, its controls were hidden in a bookshelf behind a fake line of books. (WC: Shada)
Behind the scenes Edit
Chronotis' TARDIS was identified as a Type 12, Mark 1 in the novelisation of Shada. Its type wasn't identified in any other version of the story.

How To Watch Satellite Tv On Computer
January 16, 2012 Leave a comment
It is a fact that satellite TV viewers nowadays discover it simple and suitable to watch satellite TV on computer. Since a few years ago, people have been capable to watch satellite TV on computer by installing the PCTV cards. Such PCTV cards are mostly PC hardware used to receive satellite TV channels and change to viewable programs. The cards come as also external device plugged onto your PC or fixed honestly onto your motherboard in your PC. These cards are not accurately cheap and can be priced in the range of hundreds of dollars for an excellence branded card.
Ever since PC satellite TV software appeared, it has willingly replaced this PCTV way to watch satellite TV on computer. After installation, the software enables your PC to function similar to a satellite television and you can create to watch thousands of worldwide satellite TV and radio stations on computer.
To watch satellite TV on computer with PC satellite TV software is catching on quick in the homes of developed countries particularly USA, UK, Australia and Canada where the people spend numerous hours glued to their TV sets. Here are several clear profits to watch satellite TV on computer which we are going to converse here.
Huge List of Satellite TV Channels – Average satellite TV services deliver not extra than 200 satellite TV channels to their subscribers. Even with that number of programs, the excellence of the TV programs is not for all time good and here are some channels which people scarcely have any interest in. This is not the case with PC satellite TV software as it lets you to tune into thousands of global satellite TV stations to watch satellite TV on computer. Software users have reported that they can simply discover TV channels showing programs similar to cartoons, videos, world news, sports events and games, newest released movies and TV shows. In short, you can positively discover a program you love to watch.
One-time Pricing – It costs no extra than $50 to buy the PC satellite TV software used to watch satellite TV on computer. This is the major dissimilarity between using PC satellite TV software and satellite TV services. Once you possess the satellite TV software, you are not necessary to fork out an extra dollar for the TV programs. Satellite TV services would usually charge you additional costs if you wish to watch some non-featured channels or LIVE sports broadcasts. If you utilize PC satellite TV software, this is free. This is yet an extra striking dissimilarity when using PC satellite TV software to watch TV on your PC.
Viewing Quality of Satellite TV Channels – The conformist way of using satellite dish to watch satellite TV can suffer from interferences in places where weather conditions can be unkind. It is a norm for the TV reception to be affected by weather and so, the TV picture quality is weak and fuzzy. Here could be intermittent stoppages when you are watching your TV. This is the majority upsetting other than necessary. Other than when you watch satellite TV on PC using software, this difficulty does not exist. Viewing excellence of the satellite TV on PC far exceeds that of the satellite dish system in this feature.
These are touchable advantages to watch satellite TV on computer with software. More and more people who observe the affordability and versatility of the software have decisive to ditch traditional satellite TV dish systems and services for PC satellite TV software. TV enthusiasts all welcome the change which of course includes me who is currently capable to catch a movie or watch my favorite TV news channel on computer.

Sinking of the Titanic in 1912 and Croatians

Croatian Life Stories
Carpathia ship that saved many people from the Titanic was a liner between the cities of Rijeka and New York
Carpathia was the only ship to come to Titanic's passengers and crew rescue.
At the time of Titanic's sinking Carpathia was on its regular route New York – Rijeka (Croatia).
There were 76 Croatians working as crew on the Carpathia – the hero ship.
Podatci koji slijede objavljeni su na engleskom jeziku u "Hrvatskoj kronici – Chicago", br. 1., proljeće 2002., prigodom 90. obljetnice potonuća Titanika. Ovdje ih donosimo u prijevodu, s nekim sitnijim izmjenama i dopunama, povodom 100. obljetnice tog poznatog tragičnog dogođaja.
Petnaestog travnja 2012. navršava se 100 godina od potonuća prekoocenaskog "nepotopivog" broda Titanika. Među 1316 putnika, od kojih je 818 izgubilo živote u ovoj užasnoj nesreći, koja je zapanjila tadašnji svijet, bilo je i nekoliko Hrvata i drugih koji su dolazili iz Hrvatske i Bosne-Hercegovine.

Iz Bosne i Hercegovine

Bekić, Tido?, 38, oženjen, Bakić, Bosnia, išao u Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. (Prezime se navodi i kao Kekić.)
Sivić, Husein, 40, oženjen, Bakić, išao u Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. (Ponekad naveden i kao Husen Sivic.)
Posmrtni ostaci ove trojice, ako su i pronađeni, nikad nisu bili identificirani.
Ivan Jalševac, 29, Topolovac. Žena mu Kata ostala je u njegovu rodnom selu. Išao je u New York, NY, ali poslije spašavanja pošao je u Galesburg, Illinois, gdje mu je živio prijatelj Franjo Karun. S vremenom Jalševac se vratio u Hrvatsku i umro je 1945. u rodnom selu.
Nikola Lulić, rođen 24. veljače 1883. u selu Konjsko Brdo u Lici. Pobjegao je iz austrijske vojske 1902. i otišao u Ameriku. Živio je u Chisholm, Minnesota i radio u rudniku "Alpena Mine". U jesen 1911. vratio se u Hrvatsku posjetiti obitelj, ženu Marta i dvoje djece. Budući da je već bio nekoliko godina u Americi, kad je pošao nazad služio je kao neslužbeni vodič drugim iseljenicima koji su mu za uzvrat platili putnu kartu. Ukrcao se na Titanik u Southamptonu i pošao u Minnesotu. Poslije brodoloma, Lulića je sapsila Carpathia, na kojoj je bio velik broj hrvatski mornara.
Po dolasku u New York, Lulić je umjesto u Minnesotu otišao ujaku Ross-u Rosiniću u Chicago, Illinois. Poslije Prvog svjetskog rata Lulić se vratio u svoj rodni kraj i bavio se poljoprivredom. Ali, kako se od tog nije moglo živjeti, išao je više puta između dva svjetska rata u Francusku kao sezonski radnik.
Lulića žena Marta je umrla dosta rano i on se sam brinio za brojnu djecu iz svoja dva braka. U starijim danima živio je dosta samotno i umro je 1962. u Perušiću, u kući svoje najmlađe kćerke Mare.(*Milan Gnjatović, u pjesmi "Potonuće broda Titanica"/Narodna američka Pjesmarica. St. Louis: Ivan Sikočan, 1913., spominje ga netočno kao Nikola Lukić.)
Mara Osman, 31, udata*, Vagovina, išala je u Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Poslije brodoloma spasio ju je brod Carpathia. Nakon dolaska u New York (18. lipnja 1912.) otišla je sestri Mrs. Rudolph Paulovich u Steeltonu, Pennsylvania. (*U imigrantskom uredu stoji da je neudata i da je Poljakinja. Gore spomenuti Gnjatović u svojoj pjesmi navodi Maru kao jednu od troje Hrvata koji su preživjeli tragediju Titanika.
O Mari Osman mogu se na webu pronaći, među ostalim, i slijedeće pojedinosti. Rođena je1881., udala se za Miška Banski 1904. godine i da su imali sina Franju. (Drugi opet pišu da su imali tri sina.) Izgleda da se rastala od muža i putovala je pod djevojačkim prezimenom Osman. Sin Franjo joj se kasnije pridružio u Americi i umro je u Kaliforniji 1980. Po dolasku u Ameriku Mara se preudala i navodno je umrla 1938. u državi Wisonsin. Što je sve od ovog točno, nismo sigurni.

The following article was published in the "Croatian Chronicle – Chicago", No. 1, Spring 2002, under the title "Sinking of the Titanic – 90th Anniversary." On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Titanic tragedy, we are bringing here the same text with a few small changes.
April 15, 2012 marks the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the famous Titanic liner. Among 1,316 passengers, out of which 818 died in this horrific tragedy that stunned the world, there were also a number of Croatians and/or people coming from Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

His body was recovered by the MacKay Bennett (#306) and buried at Mount Olivet Roman Catholic Cemetery, Halifax, NS on May 10, 1912. "One knife, purse with $12 in notes; small purse with 72 cents; two third class tickets, No. 349245 for Matilda Petram (Petranec) and No. 349243 for Toznai!! Hendeković" were found on his body.

Pocrnić, Tomo, 24, married, Bukovac, destination South Chicago, Illinois. (Sometimes listed as "Pacruic", "Pecruic" i "Pokrnic".)
Smiljanić, Mile, 37, Pisač near Udbina, destination unknown. His body, even if found, was never identified.
Stanković, Ivan, 33, single, Galgovo, destination New York, NY. Some sources on the web claim that Stanković was in America previously. Supposedly, after the death of his wife he returned to take care of some legal matters dealing with her inheritance, and on the way back he lost his life.
Strilić, Ivan, 27, married, Široka Kula, destination South Chicago, Illinois.
Turčin, Stjepan, 36, married, Bratina, destination Youngstown, Ohio.
To this above list we are adding also the name of a Benedictine priest, Josip Perušić (Josef Peruschitz), born in 1871, Bavaria, Germany, but who was of Croatian heritage. He was on the way to assume the position of a principal in a Catholic High School in Minnesota. Survivors of the Titanic tragedy witnessed how he refused to enter a safety boat in order to give others the chance to save their lives.
People from Bosnia and Herzegovina who lost their lives:
Bakić, Kerim, 26, married, Bakić, destination Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Bakić, Tido?, 38, married, Bakić, Bosnia, destination Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. (Mr Bakić's last name is often written as Rekić or Kekić, but most probably it is Bakić.)
Sivić, Husein, 40, married, Bakić, destination Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. (Sometimes listed as "Husen Sivic".)
The bodies of the above passengers from Bosnia, even if recovered, were never identified.
Ivan Jalševac, age 29, from Topolovac. He was married to Kata, who stayed behind in his native village. He was on his way to New York, NY. After he was rescued, however, he traveled to Galesburg, Illinois, where he had a friend, Franjo Karun. Later, he returned to Croatia and died in 1945, according to some sources.
Nikola Lulić was born on February 24, 1883 in the village of Konjsko Brdo, Lika, Croatia. In 1902, while serving in the Austrian Army, he deserted and immigrated to America. He went to Chisholm, Minnesota and worked as a miner in the "Alpena Mine". In autumn 1911, he came back to Croatia for half a year to visit his family. At this time, he was already married for the second time. His second wife, Marta, and his two children lived in Croatia at the time. When it was time to go back to America he served as an unofficial companion to other immigrants who paid his ticket. He helped them with translation and advised them of what to expect during the voyage and after their arrival in America. He boarded the Titanic at Southampton and was on the way to Minnesota. Mr Lulic survived the sinking and was rescued by the Carpathia.
After arriving in New York, Lulić went to his uncle Ross Rosinić at 118 Tocence (Torrence?) Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. His Americanized name was "Nicola Lulich". After the First World War, Lulić returned to Croatia and earned his living as a farmer, but sometimes he also worked in France as a seasonal worker between the two World Wars.
His wife Marta died long before he did, so he alone had to look after the children of his two marriages. In his older days, he secluded himself more and more from his fellow villagers of Konjsko Brdo. Nikola Lulić died in 1962 in Perušić, at the age of 79, in the house of his youngest daughter Mara. (Milan Gnjatović, in his poem Potonuće broda Titanica - Narodna američka Pjesmarica. St. Louis: Ivan Sikočan, 1913, lists his name as Nikola Lukić, but it should have been Lulić.)
Mara Osman, age 31, married, from Vagovina, Croatia, boarded the Titanic at Southampton and she was going to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. She was rescued by the Carpathia. After arriving in New York (June 18, 1912), she went to her sister, Mrs. Rudolph Paulovich, at Steelton, Pennsylvania. (The Immigration Officer incorrectly lists her as single woman and her nationality as Polish. She is also listed sometimes as "Maria Osman". Gnjatović, in his above mentioned poem, lists her as one of the three Croatian survivors.)
Some sources tell us that she was born in 1881 and she married Miško Banski in 1904. They had a son, Franjo. (Other sources state that they had three sons.) Whatever the case, it seems that she left her husband and went to America, traveling under her maiden name, Osman. Later, her son Franjo joined her in the US and he died in California in 1980. Mara eventually remarried and, supposedly, she died in Wisconsin in 1938. Details about her life in America are not know to us.

Croatian stories: The Titanic and the Carpathia – survival, rescue and tragedy
Ina Vukic
April 15 2012 – the world remembers those who died and those who survived when the Titanic sank 100 years ago.
: 'Out of the 30 Croatians who were heading for America in search of a better life, only 3 survived the tragedy. Nikola Lulic, Ivan Jalsevac and Mara Osman managed to leave the ship just under two hours before it sank.
"My father said Nikola completely changed and that the Titanic tragedy left its mark," said Mile Lulic, a relative of Titanic survivor Nikola Lulic to Croatian daily newspaper 24sata. All three survivors, who found it difficult to cope with the stress after the ordeal, were believed to have jumped from the sinking Titanic into the water, although it was unclear wether or not lifeboats were waiting or they had to wait in the freezing waters for a rescue boat.
Jalsevac and Lulic eventually returned to Croatia but Osman managed to get to America and stayed there for the remainder of her life'.
Many passengers on the ship were those from European countries fleeing oppression and/or poverty in search of a better life in "America". Croatians among them fled the life within the Austro-Hungarian Empire – they set towards realising their personal "American dream".
And the story of Titanic's sinking reanimates stories of tragedy, but also the story of the significant differences between the rich and the poor.
These stories about the Titanic include the stories about 30 Croatian passengers.
Most of the Croatians, not having the means to pay for their passage to a "better life in America and Canada", worked on the Titanic as stokers (21 of them). A smaller number came on board as passengers – third class, together with British, Irish, Scandinavian Russian, Bulgarian …
"One of them was
Ivan Jalsevac from Topolovac
, near the town of Sisak. He managed to escape the jaws of the Big Blue. His family still keeps written details of his memory on that fatal night. Ivan, who always spoke about that night to his family, died in 1945. The disaster affected his life as he witnessed the death of his friends, visions which haunted him for life.
His nephew told us the stories: "My uncle told me that a strong crash awakened him. That was the moment when the Titanic hit the iceberg. Everyone was shocked at first, but after a few minutes, when the passengers and crew realised what had happened, panic ran rampant. Passengers, suddenly facing the possibility of ending their lives in the cold Atlantic Ocean, were petrified. The lower deck passengers were not allowed to come out. The ship's staff locked all the exits from the lower decks. There was no room for lower class passengers to be saved. They were crossed out automatically for a rescue. A terrible noise was heard from the deck of the ship and the occasional gun shot, probably to make some order among the panic stricken mass.
"My uncle and two of his friends, Drazen and Stankovic, tried to save as many women and children as possible. That was their last meeting alive. Ivan Jalsevac never saw his friends again. He managed to escape through to the main deck and to jump into the cold Atlantic. That was his only chance out alive. In the cold ocean, next to the sinking Titanic was one of the lifeboats full of women and children. He reached for it and thankfully the women helped and took him into the boat because the sailors showed no interest in saving him.
'They managed to paddle to the 'Carpathia' steam boat that took on most of the survivors of the catastrophe. There were twenty Croat sailors from Dalmatia working on the Carpathia.
'The White Star Line Company, which owned the Titanic, decorated survivors and presented them an ironic award – free life passes to travel with the company. The ones who were reimbursed were mostly the rich and second class, excluding the third class – including Croats'."
The Croatians on the Titanic were: Ivan Stankovic, Ivan Jalsevic, Josip Drazenovic, Franjo and Ana Korum, Ivan Markun, Ljudevit Cop, Branko Dakic, Ivan Bartoli, Mirko Dika, Stevo Pavlovic, Matilda Petrinac, Milan Karasin, Stevan Turcin, Ciro Rekic, Marija Cacic, Janko Vuk, Ivan Strimic, Petar Calic, Manda Calic, Tomo Pakrevic, Tomo Uzelac, Luka Oreskovic, Mate Pokrajac, Marija Oreskovic, and Janko and Mile Smiljanic.
Carpathia was the only ship to come to Titanic's passengers and crew rescue. At the time of Titanic's sinking Carpathia was on its regular route New York – Rijeka (Croatia). There were 76 Croatians working as crew on the Carpathia – the hero ship.
Thanks to one of them, Josip Car, who pulled the Titanic survivors onto the Carpathia and tried to keep them warm with blankets, that Croatia today possesses one of only five life jackets from Titanic whose origin is unquestionable. Car kept as a memento one life jacket when the Titanic survivors disembarked and the life jackets lay abandoned on Carpathia's deck. He brought the life jacket to Rijeka and in 1938 gifted it to Rijeka Museum and the Museum kept it in its storage, forgotten. Few years ago Slobodan Novakovic and his Swiss colleague Ginter Bablem, studying the Titanic tragedy located the life jacket in Rijeka and after its restoration placed it as an exhibit in the Museum.

Actually a suprise for me, I never heard about this story. Now I´m going to pass this information to my friends and fellow countrymen.
Thanks for a good and detailed information, feeling a bit proud for the Carpathia and its Croatian crew who contributed to the rescue of Titanic passengers.

Reading (second to real life application) in my opinion is the best way to gain knowledge. In particular, I tend to read books on start-up failures/successes, CEO/founder autobiographies as well as accounts written by senior level employees of start-ups (the latter can usually be found on Medium).
As part of Catapult's Christmas gifts, all employees were given a book, which has influenced either one of the founders in any way. Some fictional but most factual and now my reading list is around 20+ books! (If you're interested in knowing the full reading list recommended by Catapult, please let me know).
The Power of Habit has been highly recommended to me and with 4.5 stars on Amazon, I quickly bumped it to the top of my list. Below is my opinion on the book, along with the key takeaways:
1. Structure: In general, the book was easy to follow, however a lot of the book repeats itself, so you may find it difficult to continue reading (I did almost stop after 3 chapters!) Fortunately or unfortunately, almost everything you need to learn in this book can be found in the appendix, where it really breaks down into the cycle of habits, how to identify your habits through small experiments & most importantly, how to rectify your habit – not by getting rid of it, but by replacing the routine you perform.
2. References & case studies: This was perhaps the highlight of the book. It introduces numerous studies that are applicable in all areas – not just business. One of the key case studies that stood out to me was a fire that broke out in Kings Cross Underground that killed 31 people. The fire could easily have been controlled if the structure of the staff responsibilities were made more flexible. A huge part of this was down to the staff being so conditioned to sticking 100% to their actual job description and therefore had formed a habit to not get involved in anything outside of that scope.
Another very interesting reference is the story of Alcoa's change of CEO. By focusing solely on making the work place safe for all employees, previous bad habits were unlearned and reformed into innovative and mindful approaches by all employees. Despite much criticism and backlash from major shareholders, Paul O'Neill made Alcoa into a huge success even though there was no explicit mention or motive to increase profits and returns for its stakeholders.
Key Takeaways:
Habits are made up of 3 elements: Cue, Routine and Reward. Despite the obvious assumption that getting rid of (bad) habits would be the conclusion, this book strongly recommends simply restructuring your habits. So instead, of quitting a habit, you need to first identify and monitor the cue, routine and reward. Once you've identified these (and according to the book it's probably not as obvious as you think), you need to adjust your routine by experimenting different routines in isolation. For example, if everyday you eat a piece of chocolate at 2pm and you've identified that the reward is in fact not to achieve satisfaction, but actually to take a break in your day, you should adjust your routine (which would be getting up from your desk & walking to the kitchen/shop to get some chocolate). You may choose to experiment by instead taking a walk in the park, talking to a colleague for 10 minutes, or switching to different types of food to see if your sense of reward is still apparent.
Unfortunately the book doesn't go into extensive detail of the framework, more the basic structure that can help you to start changing your habits. Something the book did not focus on at all (unfortunately) is how to maintain new (good) habits. Overall I'd say it's a recommended read if you have the patience to read through to the end where the most useful information is!
I'm always looking for suggestions of new books, so if you have any you would recommend, then please let me know ☺

If your mortgage lender pays your property taxes and homeowners insurance bill for you each year, you'll have an escrow payment attached to your regular mortgage payment. This means that you pay a little extra each month so that you don't have to worry throughout the year about saving the money needed to pay your property taxes and homeowners insurance.
Aside from the principal and interest amounts you pay for each of your mortgage payments, you may also have an escrow payment, which includes a prorated amount for your annual property taxes and homeowners insurance premium.
Mortgage Escrow Accounts
Some mortgage lenders require their borrowers to create an escrow account. Other borrowers might simply elect to do this for the convenience. In an escrow arrangement, homeowners when making their monthly payments include an extra amount that lenders deposit into an interest-bearing account. Lenders then hold this money until homeowners' property taxes and insurance payments are due, when the lenders make the payments on behalf of their borrowers.
Escrow Account Amounts
Each borrower's monthly escrow payments will vary according to their homeowners insurance premiums and property taxes. Borrowers who pay $1,000 each year for homeowners insurance and $5,000 each year in property taxes will need to pay $500 each month to their escrow account to cover these annual fees of $6,000.
Changes to Escrow Accounts
Because neither homeowners insurance nor property taxes are fixed costs, the escrow payments -- and, because of this, the total mortgage payments -- of homeowners can change throughout the life of the loan. Borrowers' property taxes might rise if their municipalities need to fund a major road repair project or other capital project. Borrowers might see their homeowners insurance premiums jump if they renovate their kitchens or add a fourth bedroom to their home.
When insurance or taxes rise, mortgage lenders need to request a larger escrow payment from their borrowers. When these fees fall, lenders might need to adjust borrowers' escrow payments in the opposite direction. In such cases, lenders must provide borrowers with written notice of any changes.
Escrow Account Benefits
Homeowners who choose to create an escrow account do so because it's easier than saving up on their own for insurance and tax bills that can be significant. Instead of having to come up with a large lump-sum payment to pay these bills, homeowners can pay them gradually over time with each mortgage payment. For homeowners who aren't good planners, escrow accounts represent an easy way to make sure they are not short on cash for these payments.

Cinema, Music, and the Sorrows and Joys of Everyday Life
The Final Ascension of Wm. M. Berger
Thursday, October 3, 2013
I could not be more excited about the current and upcoming Prison Tatt Records releases, and Passion and Torment Series batch #2.
The order is rough, and there are other projects (like the Anthony Saunders one-sided LP that could come together at any time), but generally speaking this is what's happening, and it's all freaking SILVER (I don't care for gold.) -
Bob Bellerue - Butcher's Broom LP. One of Bob's heaviest works of late/to date; source material from the band Health, radically remixed/filtered/pounded out, so that the overall effect is like that Theatre of Eternal Music concert we all wish we were old enough and/or hip enough to have attended. Bob has done so much (released previously on Prison Tatt as 1/2 of KILT, with Raven Chacon, for the Kitchen Sorcery CD); he's done solo works under different names, simply legendary collabs, with Telecult Powers and a great many others ... it's almost impossible to categorize what Bob "does," and I feel pretty sure that he likes it that way. If pressed, I'd say that this album stands strong alongside Amplified Piano Duets (with Jarrett Silberman), one of the first records of his that Bob generously gave me, and still one of my favorites. Think hi-volume, bone-shattering drones, but not at all static, more "sweeping," as in you don't know where this record will attack you from next.
Nuit Noire - A Beautiful Belief one-sided LP. Long-anticipated, A Beautiful Belief is one of the first records that was discussed/planned at the Prison Tatt label's very inception. Tenebras very graciously offered to release with us, he really embraced the one-sided LP concept, and as he takes on his projects/release offers one at a time, I knew that the day would come, and now it's here! Perhaps NN's most intimate/radically romantic record to date, still with their unique crunchy catchiness, and Tenebras' gorgeously idiosyncratic vocals, more upfront than ever. Thoroughly excited for this one!
Malkuth - Tamahprabha - One of two Malkuth LPs of brand-new material that's been simmering for a good, long while. I wrote up the promotional/press-release copy for Hathir Sakta, the other new album, which is coming out on Kelippah. Originally conceived as a double-LP, IMO these records are perhaps better even than Malkuth's two exceptional full-lengths on Hospital Productions. ...That rare breed of black metal that brings the "hard" and the "head" in equivalent measure. (Malkuth live set on WFMU / My Castle of Quiet, 2010 January.)
NRIII - The Algea. I've been following the releases of NRIII pretty much since the beginning; $, their debut cassette, was released on Primal Vomit, a label that features substantially in the Prison Tatt distro. Several years and releases later, and stylistic/compositional leaps forward (the 2012 EP trilogy on Neon Doom is a personal favorite, and received heavy airplay on My Castle of Quiet) NRIII bring us nothing short of a masterwork; I like to describe The Algea as the record I always wish Coil had made (always wanting Coil to be a bit more intense, more grimy and loud.) I'd also compare The Algea to the more pounding, song-oriented works of Nurse With Wound, or perhaps a cherry-picked collection of my favorite Genocide Organ songs—it's really that good; a new high for the band and for Prison Tatt.
What else? More, more, MORE!
To be released next, Molestador, the new one-sided LP by Sesso Violento, whose crusty, sci-fi-black-metal masterpiece, Pacificador, was one of our best- and fastest-sellers to date; Seed Stock unloaded their distro copies in hardly any time at all. This record finds SV in much the same form, but forward-looking as well; tight, boom-tap high-impact songs—black metal, yes, but of the Vordr/Bone Awl-inspired stripe, and not at all conscious of subgenre categorizations or limits, mixing in odd sounds all over the place, also not afraid to pick up an acoustic guitar for a song either. These guys are happy to work with Prison Tatt, and the feeling is mutual. Our label was built on great, black-metal one-siders, and Molestador more than continues this tradition.
On that topic, following hot on the heels of Molestador will be another one-sided LP, by the much-beloved Smoke. Deep black metal heads know all about Smoke (from The Netherlands) and their consistently high-caliber cassettes of improvised (!) black metal, the overall effect like being in a wind-tunnel haunted house, riding an uneasy wave of blast beats and frightening, transient melody. The effect of Smoke is staggering, and we're sad to report that this vinyl debut also represents the band's swan song, entitled Het Laatste Oordeel (The Last Ordeal?) The record is comprised of three lurching, hypnotic songs—classic Smoke, and K.v. Hardeveld's pencil-drawn jacket is one of my favorite bm covers EVER.
Our companion releases by OPPONENTS (Telepathic Times) and Creeplings (their two-song, one-sided vinyl debut) are still very much NEW, and Prison Tatt is fiercely proud to be presenting these records/artists, on the very cut of postmodern, Brooklyn-analog-industrial, with "edge" to spare; these are such great records, there's no time for humility, and you're plain missing out if you don't pick them up. I've extended indefinitely the period for which continental-US customers can pick up both records for a flat $30—because I want you to have them. Full descriptions of these (as well as records by Wretched Worst, Moloch, Demonologists, Todd Pendu's Chaos*Majik, Long Distance Poison—all remarkably still in print, though supplies diminish weekly), song samples, basically the whole Prison Tatt catalog, can be reviewed at http://prisontatt.com. For NY locals, Creeplings will be performing a live score this Monday night at Silent Barn (see the link for info) to my choice of an early Clive Barker short film, The Forbidden. Event curated by Stephanie Wuertz and Millennium.
Am I done yet? No! ...Because batch #2 of the Passion and Torment Series is coming soon, somewhere in the midst of all these vinyl releases. P&T is the CDr imprint of Prison Tatt Records; a cheaper and and more-immediate way to release some great music that comes across our figurative desk. There are a lot of P&T releases in the works/being discussed; things most often don't come out when or exactly as planned, but I've whittled our second batch of four down to these:
Degenerate Slug - Garuda II - Leningrad Mon Amour - it was decided long ago that this would be the first disc of our second CDr batch, from the hyper-prolific, hyper-talented Paul von Aphid. I hesitate to put any sort of subgenre label on this, as Paul is so much more well-versed in these things—I just know I like it! Raspy vocals over collaged sounds and pounding drum machine; the audio equivalent of a severed head on a chain, as anguished dungeon cries close in around you, a full psychic meal of things to listen to and for. Includes a full, 26-min, 2011 live show.
Terrier - The Doors - My collaboration with Bob Bellerue of scary/weird improvisations finally does its impression of the MGM lion. A full-length disc of material culled from various sources, all centered around "The Doors," our favorite live-recorded performance to date (from Port d'Or.) Also included are some pieces recorded off-air in WFMU's famous Studio B live studio, and a particularly juicy live set from Corey Bauer's Brooklyn space, July 2010.
Gnus - The first physical release for this great, minimalist black metal outfit from Bosnia and Herzegovina. At that link, you can hear what Gnus are about—strong, wicked compositions, and the most cobwebbed, depressive atmospheres that will capture you in awe, but also keep the songs short enough that one ought not get too attached...hehe.
Lastly, a three-way split of black metal from the extended, prolific universe of Smoke/Profectum Iri founder K.v. Hardeveld. This is the CDr version of a cassette release on the Kaladruna label. Eeuwig presents the centerpiece of an extended, depressive epic entitled "Martelgang," a track one can get dangerously lost in, advancing ever forward, as phantom doors close and lock behind you. One track by Arjen, also from Bosnia (see Gnus, above) and two, shorter tracks from Nevelrijk, solo project from the drummer for Smoke (per Smoke, see new vinyl, above.)
More than enough to keep me on an anxiety bender through and past year's end, balanced by the fact that I know these releases will be great, and bringing great music to the public is its own reward (in addition to sales, of course) when one endeavors to keep a small, independent, "boutique" music label (as my friend Jeff Conklin has dubbed us) exciting and vital.
One final bit of "promo," as it were—new in the undershopped, SHINY, AND JUST WAITING FOR YOU Prison Tatt distro (literally just arrived in the mail today)- Gutter Choir, by Hivesmasher, one of my favorite LPs of this year, a great grind album, with progressive and artful deviations, as well as the self-titled 2009 Painkiller Recs. 7" by Failures, on clear vinyl, sort of a must-have for fans of modern, dark hardcore (and you may/should be a fan of their s/t 2009 LP on Youth Attack.) Prices tba, like I said, just arrived today. Please write to: firstname.lastname@example.com.
In addition to my role as purveyor/conduit, there's also the infinitely lower-stress universe of fan and sometime radio DJ (next Castle fill-in, 11.14.13 for Diane's Kamikaze Fun Machine.) The ongoing, ever-churning process that is the discovery of new music is one that's saved my life more than a few times, and is in my blood like NJ toxins.
On to...trolling bandcamp for great new grind, sound art and black metal... Bandcamp is the breeding ground where it's really all happening, in terms of near-instantneous music delivery; name-your-price digital downloads, often not, though sometimes happily entwined with a physical release, Deafkids, The Atrocity Exhibit, Bleak, new works by personal favorites Moonknight (Rising Beast) and Husere Grav (Crucial Blast), and the ongoing greatness perpetrated by both Greh Holger's Chondritic Sound and Justin Marc Lloyd's Rainbow Bridge have all kept my music Jones chugging along, and occasionally, there's a smartly done cassette, CD or even vinyl 7" or 12" that arrives a few weeks later in the mail to accompany one of these ultra-satisfying mini-grail downloads. In that spirit of physical releases, I want to also mention the Tunnel/Chi Omega 7", one in a relatively steady stream of superior works by Spettro Family, a one-man Italian project that waxes boldly original, while taking in part its cue from 70s-80s Giallo and thriller film soundtracks (SF's great Black Horizons cs release of last year, for example) and has in the works a one-sided LP for Prison Tatt. Stefano has been absolutely great to work with, and I know that whatever he delivers to the label to release will be beyond top-shelf—it will be some of the best Spettro Family to date. Also, as goes digital-followed-by-physical releases, a set of tracks I had privy to by Lea Bertucci last year will soon see the light of day on LP. Though now, these four selections, since last I heard them, arrive radically transformed with maximum crunch; organic, yet "factory floor," in the form of a custom-designed (by the artist) LP package, Resonance Shapes, to be released by the Obsolete Units label, of which this writer has been a long-time fan. Lea played live last October (has it been that long?) on the My Castle of Quiet radio program, and though due to that, I had some idea of the primordial stew these selections were originating from, it's this final product (pre-order the LP from OU at the link above, and receive an email link to download the digital files, while you wait for your LP) that is sure to bring home the greatness of Lea's total vision.
With this all in mind, I'm pleased to say that we're "in it," too, with some, though not all (because what fun would that be, if everything was available in every format?) of the Prison Tatt artists having agreed to let me sell their works both physically and digitally via our very own bandcamp home. Some releases will remain exclusive on vinyl, while yet others will appear for sale digitally, only when the vinyl has sold out from home base. Similar to a conversation I've had with more than one "noise friend," I don't dwell on formats so much, they are but music-delivery systems; everyone is pretty much in agreement that by and large vinyl is king, and beyond that, I just want to have the music, so a CD, CDr, or digital file does not offend me with its impermanence, and often that choice is made, by label, artist, or both, that expediency is of the essence for getting the sound to your ear, and we'll worry later about which works to preserve in which ways FOR ALL ETERNITY. There are also some damned-attractive, one-of-, or-few-of-a-kind packages being done of late with CDr; Fadensonnen's PD3 comes to mind.
This having been one mutha of a post, I'll sign off now. You can always keep your eye on the Prison Tatt Records Facebook group for the most up-to-date information on the releases mentioned in this post, distro adds, and beyond.

I'd love to hear what you think,
Of course you have to go where your hearts take you with regards to colour but I'm liking the wood. It looks rich but not orange-y, and makes a statement sort of like a high end unfitted look. You have a lovely kitchen so I'm sure any of those would work.ReplyDelete
Thank you, Elizabeth. My husband will be pleased to hear that you like the wood look the best. And you are right, it's not a bad orange-y wood color, which would make me decision to paint it an easy one :) Thanks for stopping by.Delete
I think it would look amazing painted! White would look great! I also think SW Pussywillow would be pretty!ReplyDelete
Thanks Lisa! You know I love white :) I'll have to try out Pussywillow and let you know what I think :)ReplyDelete
Boy I love Grays Harbor the best....soo I am looking at your kitchen lights, are those baskets from World Market you placed over your lights? LOVE IT!!! Christine from Little Brags in OlympiaReplyDelete
Riverway is my favorite!ReplyDelete
Hi Emily,
I love the dark wood in your kitchen. I would not paint it. It gives the kitchen a lot of depth. I would replace the white kitchen stools with a nice dark wood stool. I think that would bring it all together nicely and your kitchen would look very classic and special! ~ Kelly
Love the wood. It adds a richness to the kitchen...just change the stools.ReplyDelete
What a fun way to view new paint colors without actually painting! How about painting the upper part white and leaving the base in the dark wood tone to ground the room? Lots of fun choices here!ReplyDelete
I agree with your Husband. Leave it wood. And I know you just finished those stools, but I agree with the others put wooden stools at the counter to tie the two together. Nice kitchen by the way. AlisonReplyDelete
I like the wood and the green grayReplyDelete
My vote is to paint the ceiling for sure which really made it bright...then paint with Riverway (and possibly distress it?)ReplyDelete
Your home is so lovely! I just found you on Instagram and started following you there also:) I would definitely have to paint it too...otherwise I'd be obsessing over wanting to paint it LOL. I think the Riverway or the Needlepoint Navy, both look lovely! Whatever you choose, it will be beautiful I'm sure!ReplyDelete
I agree, Keep the wood, painting it out white makes the kitchen bland. Also the tile about the stove does looks like a dark hole with the white. I like Riverway and Needlepoint navy if you do go with paint. I would then change the fabric on the stools to something with the paint colour, white and the brown from the light shades and the tile (above stove). If you keep the wood stain, I would change to darker stools as mentioned already and maybe change out the pendants to something more metallic. Good Luck!
I love wood and my husband would definitely say, "don't touch it" but honestly, I think it doesn't look right...kind of a black hole on that side of the room. I think if you keep it you should do like one of the previous comments and make the chairs the same wood color to balance the room. Personally, I think the vent hood would look good with some kind of greyish wash that tones down the dark. I wouldn't paint it white as it would disappear if it was as white as the cabinets. You have a lovely home and I'm sure all of our comments are confusing...I have oak cabinets in my kitchen that I would love to paint white but my husband loves them (ugh!) and he is so good about all the other things that I do that I leave the cabinets alone and I am happy that he is happy.ReplyDelete
I definitely think you should paint it! With it being so dark, it recedes too far back, and makes the kitchen look long and narrow. Before I even looked through all the pictures, I was thinking you should paint it a blue color. :) I like all of your options where the top and bottom are painted the same color. Whether you lean toward gray, green, or blue depends on how the colors look with your tile. Have fun! :)ReplyDelete
I love the Riverway color!! Maybe slightly distressed?ReplyDelete

VERNON – It's probably the busiest weekend of the year for the Davison family.
Three generations own and operate Davison Orchards in Vernon. It's a working orchard and farm. It's also a destination tourist attraction for visitors and locals alike.
Years ago, the family realized diversification was the answer to the tough times facing orchardists in the Okanagan.
It was a huge success.
You almost forget you're at a working farm when you visit.
InfoTel's Jennifer Stahn paid a visit on Saturday. She brought her camera along to capture the colour and the farm culture.

What is Life Coaching?
Coaching enables you to identify personal, meaningful goals and helps you achieve results that exceed your expectations. Coaching is not traditional therapy or counseling. Instead, it is geared toward men and women motivated to be their best and looking for the resources to achieve it.
- You work with your life coach to create the vision of your true desires. This can include business and/or personal goals.
- Your coach will help you develop a strategy to accomplish your goals and journey with you as you move toward your vision. Sometimes the path isn't as smooth or straightforward as expected. Having a coach can help you stay on course or help you explore the unexpected detours you may encounter.
- Coaching helps you stay focused on your vision as you face obstacles, whether external or internal.
- Coaching provides you with the structure, advice and positive energy you need to achieve your best.
- You meet with your coach at regular intervals, usually by phone, at times that are convenient for you. You don't have to travel to appointments or neglect work or personal commitments to begin your journey.
How do I choose the right coach for me?
The coach who is best for you is one who possesses qualities which you are drawn to. It's important that you feel completely comfortable with the coach you choose. Finding the right coach is essential to the coaching process. Here are some essential qualities and elements to consider:
A person who is "present" to you. It's important that you feel your coach is fully attentive and completely tuned into you and what you are saying. Your coach must also be able to connect with how you are feeling and what you are thinking.
An atmosphere of safety and trust. The work you do with your coach can be very sensitive as you look more deeply at patterns, beliefs, challenges and obstacles. It is imperative that you feel you can trust and feel safe with your coach to reveal your true self.
An environment of non-judgment and acceptance. The more you feel that your coach listens and offers support through the lens of non-judgment and acceptance, the more you'll be able to disclose. The right coach is one who offers a place and space for you to be heard.
A spirit of encouragement. Sometimes trying new behaviors or going in new directions can feel scary or intimidating. Having a coach who offers encouragement and support is critical to your success.
Are Both Individual & Group Coaching Sessions Available?
Coaching is usually conducted by phone, allowing you to work with your coach at times that are convenient for you. Sessions are available for both individuals and groups—such as couples, work groups or business partners. Group coaching is a great tool for focusing on mutual goals to gain the support and structure needed to get results.
