The Sun was out on Thursday, still cold though but at least dry. I had another trolley of seed trays to go to the tunnel and a trolley of Sanguisorba came back to go in the stock beds. Herb planters, having been refreshed went back in to the cafe and a mocha treat for me. After some admin I got on with preparing the ground for extending the stock beds. This involved taking off the humps and bumps with a spade and raking all the dead grass off. A good job for chilly sunny day. I also started digging over the narrow bed that is going between the existing stock bed and the new one. I'll plant this up with low plants in interesting colour combinations, as they say, watch this space. It was great to get some progress outside again and starting the stock bed extension will mean we can get on with a lot of other tasks.
I've been taking lots of photos of plants flowering in the garden at home and rather than fill this blog up you can see them here

|And new borders going in between old and new stock beds
After some sun it was back to freezing drizzle then heavy rain on Friday. I did get the track bed hoed before it got to bad and the rest of the box cubes trimmed and fed and spaced out. This will hopefully encourage them to fill out on the bare sides that were defoliated due to being crammed together for so long before we got the nursery. I sowed more seeds, feeling like we are getting there with them now although Ben worked out how many I've sown so far and it was a frightening number! The rest of the day was spent doing indoor jobs near the heater, brrrrrrrrrr, while there was rain, sleet, hail and snow, (fortunately not lying). It was great to get home to the warm and a hot and spicy prawn and choritzo jambalaya for dinner. Followed by a wel deserved relaxing evening of hair, shower, reading and relaxing while David was out doing bat stuff.
|I've been given some Dalefoot compost to trial. The composts are either made from recycled wool or bracken
so it will be interesting to see how it performs alongside the compost I usually use
|The Dalefoot compost is similar to other seed composts in texture and looks
We had an over night frost annoyingly but plants all seem to have coped with it ok. I'd really like to have switched the big greenhouse heater off at home by now to save some money, but with temps as low as they have been in the past week or so this isn't going to happen any time soon. David and I headed over to the nursery on Saturday morning in brilliant sunshine but deceptively cold. There was still snow on the hill and snow and hail showers through the morning. Still we got on with extending the stock beds, levelling and laying mypex so that we can move the grasses and shade plants and have everything together. We'll then put a hedge and gate in to give us a boundary on the north side of the nursery. I even got some plants in place once we'd finished. The new area looks huge, a sea of mypex! It was great to work together and get another big job ticked off the job list.
|Lovely blue sky, green fields and lots of lambs, love this time of year
I met the pet lamb when I took some plants across to the polytunnel. It didn't run away and came running over to me, easy to tel it's the pet lamb then, so we did some lamb selfies!

It's amazing the difference two days and dry weather makes in the nursery. With the help of Adam on Sunday David has put in a wooden edging along the top of the new and existing stock beds and Adam has barrowed up four ton bags of chipped bark to put on the mypex around the black currents. It's all looking very neat and tidy. In between helping customers I continued to dig over the new border between the old and new stock beds. These will be planted up in wee planting plans of plants we have for sale, I have ideas, watch this space. There was the odd short rain shower through the day and frost first thing. On the way home we went to lanark and picked up middle son who is home for a couple of days, it is always great to have my three boys home together :)

Monday and its still windy and cold despite the sun being out, most of the time. After stocking up the sales tables I spent the rest of the day tidying shade plants and moving them to the new shade stock beds we made at the weekend. I also planted up one of the new borders, I couldn't wait! I've put in Stachys byzantina, Alchemilla erithropoda, Chives, Sedum 'Bertram Anderson' and Nepeta 'Six Hills Giant'.The will make a low growing planting between the stock beds with lots of colour and scent through summer.
|Meanwhile at home in the wee greenhouse the scent from Pittosporum 'Silver Queen' is over powering when I
open the greenhouse in the morning, lovely
In the evening or before breakfast if dry I've been continuing to tidy the greenhouse plants. The wee green house is done, apart form a few plants I've kept in until the threat of frost is well and truly over. Everything is re-potted or top dressed and fed and out on the patio. I finished the auricula primulas on Sunday night when I got an hour or so out after tea. It wasn't too cold and great to get another wee task done. Some of the smaller pots of auriculas had vine weavil so were stripped right down and re potted.

and taking cuttings

A glorious sunny Tuesday and I was off. After doing some errands to Lanark including taking youngest's gym trainers to school which he forgot I spent a lovely four hours in the sun in the garden working through more of my Pelargonium collection, re potting, feeding , cutting back and turning the off cuts into cuttings. I emptied the bench and shelf putting everything on the floor and am now working my way through the plants, small ones back on the shelves and bench and bigger ones rowed up on the floor, working from the door in where I've cleared space. It's a bit of a guddle at the far end but will improve as I work through the plants and very satisfying too.
At night we went into Edinburgh for a family get together with all 5 kids and granny at Cosmo, a great place to eat with the hungry horde as they can eat as much as they like. It was great fun , Jamie went back to Glasgow after, great to have him home for a couple of days.

Wellington, Fla. – Feb. 1, 2018 – Victoria Colvin and Cuba, owned by John and Stephanie Ingram LLC, took home the division win in Week Four of the High Performance Working Hunters after steadily gaining points throughout the week. Colvin and Cuba bested a competitive field of entries on Thursday afternoon at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center (PBIEC).
Colvin and Cuba are no stranger to the winner's circle, having had a very successful career since the Ingram's purchase of the horse in 2017. Some of their career highlights include winning the 2017 USHJA International Hunter Derby and Cuba winning the impressive US Equestrian National Horse of the Year title. Colvin is now working with owner John Ingram to prepare Cuba for World Championship Hunter Rider Week, which will take place during Week Six of competition.
Coming in reserve was Louise Serio and El Primero, owned by Meralex Farm, Inc. The pair dominated the over fences portion on Thursday with a score of 87 in both the over fences and stake rounds.
Earlier in the day at the E.R. Mische Grand Hunter ring, Jennifer Hannan and Patricia Fulchino's Best Regards won the title of championship in Week Four's High Performance Conformation Hunter division. The pair expertly rode through the course by placing first in four out of six rounds over two days of competition. In reserve was Steve Schaefer and Color Pearlz, owned by Matthew Yeterian.
Victoria Colvin – High Performance Working Hunter division champion
On Cuba's performance:
"He was very good today. He hasn't done this class in a bit, so he needs to get used to doing this height again. After he gets used to it I think he will put in some really great rounds the rest of the season."
On their plans for the rest of the season:
"Cuba will be doing the Amateurs with John Ingram the rest of the season and probably doing the High Performance Hunters with me a couple more times. During Week Six he will definitely be doing the Amateurs with John Ingram. We don't have a definite plan yet, but he will most likely being doing the 3'6" High Performance Hunters with me that week too."
Jennifer Hannan – High Performance Conformation Hunter division champion
On Best Regards:
"He is a 9-year-old stallion. We've had him for two and a half years. He is super; he is such a tryer and he is always keen. He is actually one of my favorite horses to ride."
On their plans for the rest of the season:
"He's been great this season. He's was champion his first week out and again this week – things couldn't be better! We plan to show him Week 6 and after that, we will take it from there."

After searching for and trying to make-shift a cover that fit over a pacifier while a stuffed animal was attached… and failing OVER and OVER, mom to a NICU newborn decided to invent The Keepsie™.
Jennifer Melvin was determined to assure that nothing got in the way of keeping her baby girl's best friend, the pacifier with the lion, as safe and clean as possible.
5 years of research, testing and feedback from other moms who had the same need led to production of The Keepsie™ in 2017.
What material is the Keepsie made with and why?
The Keepsie is polypropelene, chosen because it does not leach chemicals and is one of the most common food grade approved plastics, often used as containers for yogurt, etc.
Where is the Keepsie made and why?
The Keepsie is manufactured in Palm Beach County, Florida at Plastimold Products. A non-negotiable was USA manufacturing and in a plant that can be trusted to care for the product and the vision behind it.
Who designed the Keepsie?
The Keepsie was designed in inventor/creator/mom Jennifer Melvin's heart (and head) and then put to technical design on paper by retired Mattel company toy designer Dorian, who the "Dorian" is named after.
If I order the Keepsie, when will it arrive?
The Keepsie will be packaged within 24 hours of an order M-Sat, 8am-3pm EST. It is then shipped on the next available shipping day per USPS days/times of operation. First Class= approx 5 day delivery after shipping, Priority= approx 3 day delivery after shipping, Express=next day/morning delivery after shipped. Ex: Order is placed on Monday,July 1st @ 2pm EST. Packaging completed by Tuesday the 2nd, 2pm EST. Shipped by Wed, the 3rd: First class delivered by Monday the 8th. Priority delivered by Sat the 6th. Express delivered by Thursday the 4th.
How do I win the Keepsie?
Subscribe and have a chance each month!
Is the ink used on Andy safe?
Yes. The ink is a non-toxic ink from Germany. It is not sealed or pre treated with any chemicals to adhere to the Keepsie. As a result, when Andy is loved through usage, you will find his face may become faded. We have chosen this option versus a toxic based ink that would indeed last but would not be toxin free, in order to maintain our mission of keeping products safe and clean for our babies.
How can I ask another question?
Email [email protected] or Instagram Messaging @thekeepsie are the fastest ways of communicating with The Keepsie Team! We'd love to hear from you!!

Hey, everyone, and welcome back to the Animal School blog. We have been busy behind the scenes, getting ready to transfer apartments, so Animal School has taken the back burner for a few weeks. Fortunately, we're almost moved, so our creature features are back in action, and my pun game is back on point.
First off, we had a marvelous time at the 7th Annual Harvest Moon Festival in Walworth yesterday. Swift the Fox was out, teaching skulks of kits — or groups of kids — about gekkering and other lupine and canine noises. We also crafted a display of fox faces that shows people the different species of foxes around North America, as well as an info sheet that highlights details about those species. We had so many enthusiastic art students at our coloring station! It was truly a great time, and we look forward to returning next year.
In case you missed the event and would like share our handouts with your kids or students, we have:
And don't forget our Vulpinology series on YouTube! Down the line, we do want to get better recording equipment and mics, but we are working with what we have for now.
Other good news: Fun Animal Facts return today! This week's theme will be Girls Versus Boys, in which we explore the similarities and differences among species in the Animal Kingdom. Next week will be Close, But No Babar (a pun of "close, but no cigar," with an homage to the cartoon elephant). In there, we will look at animals that have several overlapping features but are not the same. Think cheetahs and leopards, buffaloes and bison, snakes and legless lizards, etc.
Now, on the flip side, we're going to have to take a hiatus from Turtles Around Town. Scouting out areas and driving around for a new picture every week has taken too much time and money. We considered Photoshopping the turtles into pictures, but we wanted to keep the shots authentic. We may continue with the feature sporadically, but, for now, the upkeep is too great for us to handle.
However, that doesn't mean we're calling our operation quits! Quite the opposite. We have a vulture character, Stinky, in the works, and Nick recently acquired a buffalo mask, so our family of furballs is growing! A horse costume and skunk costume are also on deck. Stay connected with us to see the work we're doing. We're on WordPress, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.
In the meantime, remember that both the Wildlife Educators Coalition and our Animal School program are available for events and programs around Western New York throughout the year. School visits, library programs, community center activities, bookstore readings, scout meetings, birthday parties, senior center enrichment activities — you name it, and we can craft a customized program for your group! WEC has the live animals for demonstrations, and Animal School has the talking animal characters (mascots and puppets). You can also have both the live animals and mascots show up to your event. We offer a sliding price scale, so no one gets denied our unique, hands-on educational experience because of his or his income or location. We are always eager to work with other groups, so join in on our animal antics, already!
For more information about booking us, contact Nick Hadad at firstname.lastname@example.com for Animal School and Karin Fires at email@example.com for the Wildlife Educators Coalition (our parent group with the live animals).
We'll see you all soon!

Misplaced Rapture (1 Corinthians 4:13-17)Dr. Sylvester Williams, June 7, 2015
1 Thessalonians 4:1-18
1 Thessalonians 4:13-17
The rapture is not in the Bible, the word that is used is caught up. A lot of people think that once saved always saved. But that is misplaced rapture. We need to know and understand how and what the rapture is.
Up to 80% of people that are being persecuted are of the Christian Faith and it is not being reported y the news media or any other outlet.
How many of us can make a real commitment to Christ Jesus? How much do you Love God? Do you love God enough to go to different countries and preach and praise God just like you do here? When you say that you are Christian, that means that you are Christ like. He was beaten, his beard was plucked out, he was pierced in the side.
Are you willing to go through all this because you are a Christian? Christ Jesus has done it for you.
If you follow Christ you will live again.... If you are in God's will you don't have to worry about any thing coming in this world. You have to learn to rejoice in your trials and tribulations.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
1 Corinthians 12:24-26
For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
1 Corinthians 12:26
And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
Matthew 26:41
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Luke 8:13
They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
1 Timothy 6:9
But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
1 Thessalonians 5:9
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
Revelation 3:10
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Matthew 6:13
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Exodus 12:13
And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
1 Thessalonians 3:10
Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
Acts 2:38
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
James 1:2
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

It's photos like these that makes you understand how daring and ridiculously talented Wes truly was.
No, it's not a still from Sanctum - although James Cameron's new diving film was inspired by a near-catastrophic expedition by the man who took these pictures, Wes C Skiles.
This is a real photograph from one of the most mysterious environments in the world. You could visit Abaco Island, in the Bahamas, and have no idea that beneath you lies this vast network of caves, accessible by as many as a thousand 'blue holes' - submerged vertical caves peppered with entrances to this forbidding domain.
Exploring these passages is the diving equivalent of climbing K2 - you've got to be exceptionally well trained and well prepared. Even then, safety is no guarantee; Wes C Skiles died during a dive last summer.
Sanctum is dedicated to him.

Coffee & Friends
I just had to share this cute Cafe Lucy image with you! Okay, that and it is for two challenges, one which ends tomorrow so I wanted to be sure to get it up here for that.
So, challenge number one...it is the sketch challenge for limeLIGHT Papercrafts this week. I took a little liberty with the sketch but I think that it is still the general idea. I also decided to go super clean and simple. For this challenge we were also supposed to use ribbon so I added the fun white with marina mist ribbon at the bottom.
Then the other challenge is for Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps challenge this week which is to use one of their images plus ribbon. Since I've been wanting to use this cute Cafe Lucy image I thought it would be the perfect time to do it!
Oh, I just realized this card will work for the Something Old (the dots embossing folder) and Something New (the image) challenge over at the D2D card ideas blog. Yay!
Well, what do you think? Cute, simple and fun all in one, right? Alright, I'm off to exercise so you guys have a great Saturday!

At the University, the Wrapping is Removed
After completing the renovation of the heritage-protected Böttcher Building, the scaffolding has been dismantled – now more than just the golden crown shines in new splendor
The renovation of the façade at the Böttcher Building at the Chemnitz University of Technology Straße der Nationen 62 campus is over. The scaffolding which shrouded the building for months has been dismantled, and the elegantly-designed portal of the heritage-protected building and its natural stone façade now shines in new splendor. Natural stone made of granite, porphyry, and sandstone, among others, was cleaned of dirt and encrustations, loose areas of the façade were secured as a part of expanded safety measures, and some general repair work was carried out. And the golden crown on the roof of the building, one of its most striking features, has been restored. The construction project was coordinated by the state-owned Sächsisches Immobilien- und Baumanagement firm, represented by its Chemnitz branch, in cooperation with the Chemnitz University of Technology Department of Civil Engineering and Technology.
Impressive façade design
If you take some time to look closely at the façade, you will discover many interesting details: in the center of the 74-meter-long and 21-meter-high building façade is the middle portion, flanked on each side by sections that contain four rows of seven windows apiece. On this middle section of the building one finds the decorative natural stone façade, consisting of granite, porphyry, and sandstone elements. Three pairs of figures above the main entrances indicate the subjects taught previously in this building: mathematics and physics, textile technologies and chemical engineering, and mechanical and structural engineering.
A bit further up, at the level of the former auditorium windows, two 2.25-meter statues are situated on the sides of the middle section. The left figure, with a cogwheel and compass, symbolises technology. The figure on the right represents science, via its book and discursive pose. Attached to the pilasters between the windows of the fourth floor are reliefs of portraits of famous representatives of the sciences. Corresponding emblems are found above their heads, and each also has a tablet with the surname of the scientist. All portraits and the two statues were modeled by the sculptor Anton Händler, who taught at the "Gewerbezeichenschule".
On the roof of the building, directly above the portraits on the fourth floor, is a parapet wall. At its creation, it was adorned with the lettering "Royal Technical Schools", which has since been replaced with the words "Technical University". Rounding this out is a picture of two lions, which hold the Saxon coat of arms, decorated with a golden crown.
He gave his name to the Böttcher Building
It is thanks to Professor Eduard Theodor Böttcher (1829-1893), director and teacher in mechanical engineering, that the laying of the foundation of this prestigious building was completed on 2 September 1875, and the former school building on Dresdner Straße could be abandoned. Already in 1876, the building, adjacent to the train station, was handed over to the laboratory. The busts of Berzelius and Humboldt that are found at the main entrance date from this time. Since the 150th anniversary of engineering education in 1986, the main building of the university has been named the "Eduard Theodor Böttcher Building".
Did you know? These are the eight scientists depicted on the façade of the Böttcher Building:
Galileo Galilei (1564-1642): The founder of modern science, with the help of his refraction telescope, discovered the mountainous landscape of the moon. In addition, the Italian mathematician, physicist, and astronomer published the law of motion.
Karl Friedrich Schinkel (1781 – 1841): The Prussian architect, urban planner, and painter is considered a main exponent of Berlin Classicism. As a superintendent, he was responsible for shaping Berlin as a representative capital for Prussia. For example, he created the New Guardhouse (Neue Wache), as well as the Berlin Concert House (Schauspielhaus) on Gendarmenmarkt, and the Old Museum (Altes Museum) on Museum Island (Lustgarten).
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646 – 1716): The philosopher, mathematician, and naturalist was one of the first foreign members of the French Academy of Sciences. It is thanks to him that the colon has another function: as a sign used in division.
Jöns Jakob Berzelius (1779 – 1848): The Swedish chemist was one of the most important naturalists of his time. He discovered the elements thorium and selenium, and calculated the relative atomic weight of 45 elements. This was all published in 1818 in an atomic weight table. He also introduced the terms isomerism and catalyst.
Leonhard Euler (1707 – 1783): The mathematician, physicist, and astronomer dealt with, among other things, differential and integral calculus, and he also introduced the notation f(x) for a function. The base of the natural logarithm, the Euler number "e", is traced back to him.
Gaspard Monge (1746 – 1783): The French mathematician and physicist studied mirages in the desert, and thus could correctly interpret the Fata Morgana for the first time. The Parisian professor was also considered a founder of descriptive geometry.
James Watt (1736 – 1819): The Scotland-born inventor and mechanic made a significant contribution to the development of the steam engine, leading to its industrial breakthrough. He is also considered to be the inventor of the copying press and the steam condenser. In his honor, the unit of power is called a Watt.
Karl Karmarsch (1803 – 1879): The Viennese-born engineer was the founder of the Higher Technical School in Hannover, which is known today as Leibniz University, and was the head of the school for 44 years. The writer and scholar was also considered a founder of Mechanical Technology as an academic discipline.

GCL Miami Beach face-off: movers and shakers
Photo: GCL
Today's GCL Miami Beach final will see the world's top teams face off on the shoreline of Florida's breathtaking beach, with the Monaco Aces leading the charge at this stage, being the only team to emerge with a double clear from Thursday's first round GCL contest.
With every point counting as teams look towards qualifying for the GC Prague Play Offs in December, team strengths and strategies are the day's hot topics. The full roster of 19 teams will be bidding for clean score sheets over this testing CSI5* track — but will riders opt to run the horses already proven and used to this unique atmosphere, or choose fresh legs in this crucial battle?
Here's a brief guide to the movers and shakers in the line up for round two of the GCL Miami Beach showdown…
Jumping in reverse order, overnight leaders Monaco Aces will be last to go and have only have two representatives at the Miami Beach GCL leg, but Jérome Guery (BEL) and Julien Epaillard (FRA). The duo were two of only three clears in the opening team round and they return to the ring at this magnificent venue on the same horses — the 12-year-old Belgian stallion Garfield de Tiji des Templiers and the Diamant de Semilly stallion Safari D Auge.
The Miami Celtics — featuring an all-Irish line up for their home event— clearly have this team tussle at the forefront of their minds: both Denis Lynch and Shane Breen were among the 11 riders to made it through to the jump-off in yesterday's big-money class, but both declined to jump, choosing instead to save Ipswich van de Wolfsakker and RMF Echo for today's team showdown.
The Scandinavian Vikings were the owners of the pivotal third clear in the first round of GCL Miami Beach, and Leopold van Asten will be looking to repeat the feat on the 11-year-old Chacco-Blue mare VDL Groep Miss Untouchable. The Dutchman and team-mate Christian Ahlmann (GER) are the only members of the squad here, but their form so far this week places them as top contenders.
Just two penalties behind them, on six, sit the Prague Lions, another team with two on-form representatives. The Netherlands' Gerco Schröder tipped a single rail on the talented Nabab de Reve stallion Glock's London in the opening round and young team-mate Anna Kellnerova (CZE) put in a strong round on Classic, with both horses picking up a single time fault. Expect them both to press the gas pedal further down today. Team Doha Fursan Qatar are also sitting on six faults, with Qatari rider Bassem Mohammed hoping to capitalise on his cracking form so far this week and produce another strong round on his opening round team horse, Gunder.
The New York Empire team have drafted in Scott Brash (GBR) on his prolific winner Ursula XII, who did not jump in the first round. Brash's top mare replaces Hello Shelby and join Georgina Bloomberg on the speedy grey Manodie II H.
Four teams carry eight faults forward from round one, divided only by time. The quickest of those, the London Knights, are leaving British rider Ben Maher's Don Vito on the bench for today, swapping in his other horse Winning Good instead. Nicola Philippaerts (BEL) rides H&M Chilli Willi again, and the Belgian rider will be looking to avoid the time penalty and single rail he picked up in round one.
Madrid in Motion (also on nine) make one substitution, with Dutchman Maikel van der Vleuten — a big winner in yesterday's five-star individual class on Arera C — swapping out that mare for the fresh legs of 10-year-old Idi Utopia.
The Shanghai Swans have left both their first-round horses on the bench, instead calling up the 10-year-old Tobago Z for Germany's Daniel Deusser and the 12-year-old Chacco-Blue stallion Chaqui Z for Ireland's Shane Sweetnam. And Valkenswaard United's two riders at Miami Beach, Alberto Zorzi (ITA) and Bertram Allen (IRE) will once again ride Contanga 3 and Gin Chin van het Lindenhof. Zorzi's single time fault in the first round was combined with two toppled rails from Allen, who will be out to prove his horse can clear every question.
Five teams are within a single rail of the four teams tied on points, so with faults evenly spread around Italian course designer Uliano Vezzani's tracks, it's all to play for this afternoon under the South Florida sunshine.
Will fresh horses and riders give the teams an advantage? Or will the experienced players have the upper hand? And who will succumb to the pressure or the atmosphere?
It's all all cards face up in this afternoon's GCL team competition and we can't wait to find out how the drama will unfold. Entry for spectators is free — or simply stand on the beach and watch for one of the best views in the house. If you can't make it down, then be sure to tune in at 14.00 local time to watch the action LIVE on GC TV and Facebook Live, with expert commentary and exclusive rider interviews.

Lei (Angelina) Ye of Bradenton, Florida, came from behind to win the first Invitational of the year at the ANNIKA Invitational USA presented by Rolex. The Stanford University verbal commit's final-round 1-under-par 71 matched the lowest score of the day and was enough to provide a two-stroke victory over Lucy Li of Redwood Shores, California. Ye was the only player in the field to finish the tournament under par. The 2017 Rolex Junior All-American is No. 8 in the Rolex AJGA Rankings.
Jun Min (Jimmy) Lee of Mission, Texas, won his first AJGA event at the Foley Performance Academy @ EaglesDream Junior Championship. Lee carded back-to-back under-par rounds with a second-round 3-under-par 69 and a final-round 2-under-par 70 for the one-stroke victory. The Texas A&M verbal commit had four top-10 finishes in 2017, including a second-place finish at last year's Foley Performance Academy @ EaglesDream Junior Championship.
Katherine Muzi of Walnut, California, won the Callaway Golf Junior Championship by five strokes. The high school senior was one of only two players in the field to card an under-par round with her first-round 1-under-par 70. Muzi signed a National Letter of Intent with the University of Southern California.
Dylan Menante of Carlsbad, California, took home the Callaway Golf Junior Championship in his first event of 2018 with a playoff victory over Hazen Newman of Las Vegas, Nevada. Menante's final-round 3-under-par 68 paved the way in his come-from-behind victory. This is the second year in a row that the high school junior opened his year with a victory, after winning the 2017 Tathata Golf Junior All-Star Championship.
Sarah-Eve Rheaume of Lac-Delage, Quebec, won her first-career event at the Foley Performance Academy @ EaglesDream Junior Championship on the second hole of a playoff with Jensen Castle of West Columbia, South Carolina. Rheaume was one of two players in the field to card a round at even par or better with her second-round even-par 72. The high school senior's previous best finish came in 2017 at the Coca-Cola Junior Championship at Sugarloaf at T3. She signed a National Letter of Intent with Furman University.

The holiday mishap of if one light goes out, they all go out, isn't just limited to string lights.
When a wire breaks on a Lightwire Theater costume, it could mean the difference between the audience seeing a character or being left in the dark.
The Louisiana troupe, a semifinalist on NBC's "America's Got Talent" and winner of Tru TV's "Fake Off," uses electroluminescent wire to create glow-in-the-dark characters that dance to music. Longtime Lightwire member Stephen Nicholson, who is performing in the troupe's "Dino-Light" show at the Da Vinci Science Center in Allentown, says the group has learned to improvise when those mishaps occur.
"The wire isn't really supposed to move like we move," Nicholson says. "It's wire; it breaks and for us, if it breaks it means it's not lighting up anymore and then you have a character in the dark, which is a problem."
During a recent Sunday performance, the wiring on a leg of his red dinosaur character wouldn't light. The performers knew, but the audience didn't notice. Now, most costumes have multiple light strings as backup.
"My favorite part was the T-Rex," says 5-year-old Wyatt Southern of Riegelsville about Nicholson's red dinosaur. Wyatt was with his dad Tim Southern and two-year-old brother Isaac.
Nicholson says it's the technical mishaps like wire breaking or batteries falling out and onto the stage that keeps the troupe on its collective toes. At a show in Kansas, he was on stage as a tall light bird, a puppet about 18 feet long, when a fellow dancer's battery pack broke, scattering batteries across the stage.
"One of the other cast members, within 5 seconds, was diving onto the deck in the dark at our feet so I don't roll my ankle on one and this giant bird comes tumbling down," he says. "No one in the audience had any idea that happened, or that it wasn't supposed to happen. If you keep telling the story, it's forgiven [by the audience]."
In the "Dino-Light" story, a professor creates a green dinosaur and it wanders off, only to return in time to help the professor defeat a red dinosaur (Nicholson's character). The show at Da Vinci is a condensed version of the story, told with three of five characters and running about 20 minutes.The show continues through Dec. 31.
You can also see another Lightwire show this holiday season when the company brings "A Very Electric Christmas" to Zoellner Arts Center Dec. 22. The show tells of the adventures of a young bird named Max who finds himself at the North Pole after getting separated from his parents on their trip south for the winter. While trying to get back to his family, Max encounters all kinds of creatures, from caroling worms and mischievous mice to dancing poinsettias, nutcracker soldiers and an evil rat king. The show is set to holiday music.
It will be the third time Lightwire has performed at Zoellner. It previously performed its "The Ugly Duckling" and its "Moon Mouse" shows.
"It's one of our audience's — and the staff's — favorite groups," says Zoellner Administrative Director J. Andrew Cassano.
The holiday program is in its fourth year of touring, says Lightwire manager Barry Mendelson. The show is touring in Brazil and performers are also taking it across the U.S.
"It's a wonderful story for all ages and the uniqueness is the ability of the performers to create characters through technology and get their message across without having to speak," Mendelson says.
It's that storytelling through movement that has made the group popular on a global stage, says Nicholson.
"The fact that we don't speak has served us so well when touring worldwide because there is no language barrier," he says. "It's so great to experience families from different cultures … and here we are, language is pretty much taken out of it. We're dancers, we're movers and this is how we communicate anyway."
In "Dino-Light," the performers are so close to the audience they are practically in the audience. At one point, Nicholson stretches out the neck of the red dinosaur, baring its glowing teeth toward the crowd. It's a move that had kids gasping and made one man say in the quiet, darkened theater, "I didn't think they were going to be this close."
The intimacy and the room size presents additional challenges in staging — that's why the Da Vinci show doesn't include the 17-foot-tall birds in the longer show.
Size matters, too, when taking the shows to other countries. Nicholson says the group had to redesign characters to be able to take them apart to fit in cases.
"How do we get a 17-foot bird into a [case]?" he asks. It was a lesson learned when Lightwire first attended a theater festival in Bogota, Colombia, in 2010. "What tickled us was trying to picture what these customs guys were thinking and talking about when they were opening up these cases … I'm sure the customs guys have seen everything under the sun, but we kind of have a strange niche. [In the dark] we create these beautiful characters, but in the light, you have duct tape, hot glue and fabric."
Speaking of putting things together, as part of the Da Vinci show, children can build their own dinosaurs and wire them with light circuitry in the center's labs.

The Printed Matters platform was inaugurated in Los Angeles in 2010, after which two exhibitions were held in Dallas in 2012, and in Detroit last year. The next Printed Matters will be hosted by Galo Art Gallery in Turin, Italy, and the show will feature some old and some new works by Shepard Fairey. This will, at the same time, be his first time to exhibit in an Italian private gallery officially. The content is mostly directed by the artist himself, and it includes serigraphs on paper, editions on wood, on metal, and fine art collages.
The Printed Matters – is both a syntagm and a sentence, as it refers to the matter of printing, and also to significance of the technique. The exhibition aims to highlight the role of printed material in Fairey's art. In order to keep his artworks accessible, the artist relies on screen-print on paper, through which he delivers editions of his fine art pieces. He also uses other printing techniques (on canvas, metal and wood) that keep his line of work diverse. As much as the digital media is becoming pervasive, Fairey believes that nothing can actually replace the tactile experience of an art print. "Printing still matters", he says.
Shepard Fairey is one of the people highly involved in the urban landscape paradigm shift. His approach to art at some point relied on principles of Heidegger's phenomenology, according to which he conducted an experimental OBEY GIANT campaign, which featured imagery and a slogan that gradually became more than just a series of stickers. Fairey explained that the whole experiment had no actual meaning, that it was produced only in order to provoke reaction, and to make people search for a meaning – which it definitely succeeded in.
Since the groundbreaking OBEY campaign that featured stencils of the wrestler Andre the Giant, Fairey 's work has evolved into an acclaimed body of art. The 25 year long career was celebrated on many occasions, on the street and in the museums as well. His works are part of the permanent collections of MoMA, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery, the Boston Institute of Contemporary Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and many others.
The identity of Galo Gallery perfectly matches Fairey's artistic profile, as its main focus is placed on the line of contemporary art related to post graffiti and pop art. The Printed Matters will be on view from February 26th through March 23rd at Galo Art Gallery, in Turin.

Busy times again this week. Wouldn't have it any other way if I'm honest.
First in to the workshop on Monday morning was another Epiphone 335 Dot in need of a new tone pot. Although very tricky the results were well worth it. My client also had a full set-up done on the guitar and was very impressed with the results. It's amazing the difference a proper set-up can make to a guitar of any value, age, make or model.
I delivered the Jerry Donahue Fender Telecaster back to its owner on Sunday afternoon. Martin's comments can be seen in the 'testimonials' column. That was a bit of a challenge due to an expanded fret slot making the re-fret that much more difficult.
There are a number of guitars in for modifications this week, a couple of pickup changes and upgrades of pots etc. There are also a couple of refrets to be done and one guitar that desperately needs a fret dressing. These include Fender, Epiphone, Ibanez and a very nice old Hohner.
I'm looking forward to getting a Tokai Strat in on Thursday for some work. That's going to be a very interesting project.
If you're after a Fender Stratocaster then I have this one for sale on eBay so please let me know if you need any more info on that one. I took it in a week or so ago. The only work it really needed was a new nut so I've replaced the old plastic one with a new bone nut. That's made a big difference to the tone and sustain so a job well worth doing. The guitar itself a great player and has really good tone. It actually makes a change for me to get a guitar in and not want to fiddle around with it too much so I've leaving this one as pretty much stock.
Stay frosty!!

Dashboard Tour & How-To
This article offers a "tour" of the ProxyMesh user Dashboard and briefly describes its features. Two related articles – Dashboard Configuration & Setup and Dashboard Account Settings – provide overviews of those sections of the dashboard.
Sections of these articles also provide links to other, more detailed discussions of the dashboard features.
Setting up Your Username
Every account requires a username, which must be unique. Some users choose to use their email address as their username. Others prefer a different username. Making your email address the username is acceptable, but we do not advise it, as the @ "at" sign can interfere with
username:password authentication protocols. It's better to choose a unique username without the "@" symbol.
You can log in to ProxyMesh with either your username or the email address associated with your account.
Note that changing a username requires special procedures by the Support staff so that they can update your account records. Please contact ProxyMesh Support if you wish to change your username. Username change requests must come from the email address associated with your ProxyMesh account.
Proxy Access
Once you have logged in and the dashboard appears, the Proxy Access section of the dashboard displays a list of available proxy servers. On it, you can check the number of servers you have access to, up to the limit of your subscription plan. The column headings in Proxy Access are as follows:
Proxy Host Port: The host through which the proxy communicates with other sites. For proxies, the port is 31280.
Authorized: Indicates whether a server is authorized on the system, as described in Proxy Authentication. A green checkmark means Yes; a red X means No.
Online: Indicates whether a proxy is online and available for use. A green checkmark means Yes; a red X means No.
IPs: Specifies the number of IPs available on the proxy.
Auto-Config URL: A proxy auto-configuration URL tells your browser when to use a proxy server, and what proxy server hostname and port to use. For full details, see the Proxy Auto-Configuration URL article.
Proxy Status
You can view the status of any proxy server by clicking the server name in the dashboard, which takes you to a status page showing server location, IP address, availability, and additional information for that server.
2-Factor Authentication
2-Factor Authentication is a way to enhance your account security. It requires a secondary password that changes each time you login.
Under Account Settings on the right side of your dashboard is a 2-Factor Authentication link. Click this link to go to the 2-Factor Authentication screen. For more details on setting 2FA, see "2-Factor Authentication" in Dashboard Account Settings.
Note: If you want to discontinue using 2FA, you will need to contact Support to disable it.
Change Proxies
Under Account Settings on the right side of your dashboard is a Change Proxies link. Click this link to go to the Change Proxy Authorization page. On that page, you can select and deselect different proxies for authorization via the checkboxes, up to the limit of your subscription plan. To save your new selections and return to the dashboard, click the Authorize Proxy Servers button.
Please note: For access to the World Proxy (equivalent to 5 rotating proxies), you must be on the ProxyMesh 50 plan or above. If you're on a lower plan, the Change Proxy Authorization shows World Proxy as "struck out," that is, unavailable. But you can upgrade your plan if you need World Proxy access.
On the Change Proxy Authorization page you can also get access to more proxies by clicking the Upgrade Payment Method or Change Plan link on that page. Details on upgrading are available in Changing Your Subscription Plan.
Subscription Plan
The lower portion of the dashboard shows the details of your subscription plan.
Create New Sub-Account
This button is visible to subscribers to the ProxyMesh 20 and higher plans, underneath the Subscription Plan table. The ProxyMesh API article also details the step for programmatically creating a new sub-account.
Edit Sub-Accounts
Existing sub-accounts are listed under the Current & Past Bandwidth Usage table, under your username, with links to edit them.
Current & Past Bandwidth Usage
The Current & Past Bandwidth table on this page displays daily gigabyte (GB) use in the current period, plus usage for the previous 3 months. The heading in each history column is the billing date for that month.
See Past Bills
Once you subscribe to a plan, a See Past Bills button appears near the bottom of your dashboard. This leads to your ProxyMesh Past Bills page, which displays your past bandwidth usage and provides links to download your past invoices in PDF format. On this page, you can also add billing information to the invoice. For details, please see Changing "Billed To" Information.
Usage Instructions
The bottom of the dashboard displays various Usage Instructions with links for further information, along with a link to ProxyMesh Support.
Prepaid Bandwidth
Note: If you subscribe to the 100 Plan, you will see a link on the right side of your dashboard that takes you to a screen for purchasing Prepaid Bandwidth.
If you choose to downgrade from the 100 plan, your prepaid bandwidth will still be available for you to use but it will no longer be visible on your dashboard. Consider remaining on the 100 plan to help you keep track of your prepaid bandwidth.
The right side of the dashboard contains links to the following categories: Configuration & Setup, Account Settings, Authenticated IPs & Hostnames, and Enabled Headers.
Authenticated IPs & Hostnames
If you haven't added any IPs or hostnames, this link reads "Add an IP or Hostname." Once you've added at least one, the link changes to read "Edit IPs & Hostnames" and lists the IPs and hostnames below the link. The number of authenticated IPs is limited based on your subscription plan.
Clicking on the link takes you to the Edit Authenticated IPs screen.
Click on the link to go to the Edit Authenticated IPs page. The page displays a separate row for each of your authenticated IPs.
Add, change, or delete IP addresses by entering the IP address in the first field and a label (optional) in the second field, and checking the checkbox. Click the Submit button.
- To Add: Just type a new IP address in the window, add a label if desired, and click Submit.
- To Delete: Type the IP in the left window, check the Delete box on the right, and click Submit.
- To Change: On the row for the IP to be deleted, check the Delete box on the right. On a separate row for an IP to be added, type the IP address in the window and add a label if desired. Then click Submit. The system will execute the delete and add.

Enabled Headers
Note: To use the Enabled Headers command, you must first use IP authentication or the
Proxy-Authorization header to authenticate your request to the proxy.
To safeguard anonymity, the proxy removes certain identifying headers from a request before submitting it to a remote site. However, at times you may need to include the
Authorization header, for example when sending an authenticated request to a website or API over the proxy server. Use this link to tell the proxy server to pass the
Authorization header through to the remote site. Checking the Authorization box and clicking the Save Headers button will keep this header from being removed.
Only the
Authorization header can be allowed at this time.
It's good practice to allow a few minutes for an enabled header to propagate through the network before sending it in a request.

In the interests of absolute transparency I record all my share recommendations and produce a P&L in % terms on an 'Inception to Date' basis. Unlike a lot of 'tipsters' my trades also include a % adjustment for bid/ask and transaction costs.
I will also continue to state my positions at the end of all company specific articles too.
Here is the summary as at 28th February 2017. The average stock tip is 19% Inception to date, with 82% of my 26 tips in profit. On an annualised basis the average tip is 346%.
The principle detractors are my short calls on Genel and Sterling Bonds. My views have not changed on either. Genel publishes its full year trading results on 30th March 2016 and I expect heavy impairments to the balance sheet. Bulls will argue that much of the information is already known but I believe the potential extent of these impairments to catch some by surprise, particularly if the KRG arrears take a heavy hit. Regarding Sterling Bonds; I have seen nothing to indicate that my belief of a due correction is incorrect. Hurricane and Sirius were tipped again in the month and are currently both showing small losses, but I believe both to offer significant upside in the longer term.

Well with less than 4 days to go until the 1yr anniversary of the release of my Simple Python Part-of-Speech (POS) NLP Tagger, it's exceeded 1,000 downloads. That also marks the day I learned Python as I was getting my tires changed at Costco and had 6 hours to kill. Printed out the tutorials and took them with me. Got home, figured…let's port Mark's C# tagger to Python. That'd be a great way to figure things out. And voila! 1,000 downloads later, it seems to have been the right idea.
Here's the link for those who wanna play with it.
If anyone needs anything special added to it, let me know. I'm loving LAMP+Python in general and dig excuses to make things better.
Oh yeah, I guess that also means my tires are a year old now too…drat!

"I need the seasons to live to the rhythm of rain and sun."
(Sophie Marceau)
Hello Beautiful readers, how the Virgo are you? The New Moon energy from the weekend is setting the scene for the month ahead and I am personally loving the new energy it has brought. If you didn't see my last post I spoke briefly about the New Moon in Virgo that just happened. It is all about creating healthy habits and health is a big theme this month. We are on the cusp of another seasonal change in September and the more we ensure we look after our health, the better prepared our bodies will be. Of course health is something I consider on all levels and not just the physical. What we feed our minds and hearts is just as important if not more so. Everything begins from the mind and what we visualise and set intentions for will put us in good stead for what is to come. We may not always know what is around the corner but we can certainly consciously create our days and add value in some way.
Something I decided to start doing again is scheduling myself into my own diary. I stopped doing that for a while and thought it was a good time to start up this habit again. We often make so much time for work, friends, spouses, and other things but how often do we give ourselves our own time and attention. This has stirred something in my soul to look at what is important to me for sure. It is food for thought. If you were to schedule yourself into your own diary and keep that appointment, how would that make you feel? Does it stir something inside of yourself? When we give our time and attention to others and our work we are adding value in so many areas. If we can do this for others then we can do this for ourselves. In doing so we are owning our worth and valuing who we are. We are continually coming back to a place of love and this is priceless. No matter what, there is infinite consciousness which flows through us.
Where will you take yourself this September?
Lisa ♥

I haven't updated for a while, here is the progress on my projects. I have started work on a mural I am collaborating with Sam Hawkins, it is for Name (music publications company) to go in their office. We have collected all the wood we will need and it will be 1.8 x 3 meters based around the theme of music.
I have also been continuing my work based around the regeneration of Stoke-on-Trent. I am intending to develop an installation type piece, which you can see I have started to put together on my work desk. I have also included some of my sketch book work.

Office of the Registrar is Recognized for Paper and Plastic Reduction while Renewing Green Department Certification
The UAA Office of the Registrar was recognized on November 21, 2014 for their paper and plastic reduction efforts while renewing their Green Department Certification. The department began utilizing a Shared Trash Can program by placing trash cans in convenient locations to eliminate the need for individual trash cans. This reduced their trash cans from 21 to 6, which reduces the use of plastic trash bags and labor costs to collect trash. The department also stopped printing their UAB Agenda and started viewing it on iPads and computers, which has saved 1,600 sheets of paper so far and will continue to save more with each meeting. University Registrar, Lora Volden, even received The Living Tree award and was presented a bonsai plant in recognition of her efforts to put the UAA Catalog online, which reduced paper usage and costs for printing.
The Office of the Registrar originally became Green Department Certified in 2012 and is just one of several departments at UAA that continues to make small eco-friendly changes by being certified. To find out how your department can become green certified, click here. Certification is reviewed every two years.

Spooky Facts about Vampire Energy
October is Energy Awareness Month and that means it's time to take note of the things that could be taking a bite out of your pocketbook... such as, Vampire Energy. Vampire Energy is electric power consumed by electronic and electrical appliances while they are switched off or in standby mode. To stop vampire energy from sucking your wallet dry, make sure to do the following: unplug devices; use power strips; turn off lights, computers, printers and other equipment; use energy-efficient devices; and use the stairs and manually open doors instead of using the elevator or handicap button to open doors.
For more information on vampire energy and to find out what kind of impact it's having on your electric bill, visit www.savewithrsp.com/advice/appliance/energyvampires.aspx.

Seems like you're working towards a lot of things, but working to help with a possible cure for a syndrome is amazing. I don't know much about Ehlers Danlos but I plan to google and find out more. It's inspiring!
What do you enjoy writing? I'm a YA fantasy writer and curious to know more about you! Feel free to stop by my neck of the woods to say hi! I'll be stopping by in the future!
Thank you for your really kind comments Jen! Sorry I only just saw this comment. I think I'm going to have to see if there is a way to get myself emailed when comments are left. (I'm still finding my way around the blog :) )ReplyDelete
The novel I'm hoping to write and is a few chapters in, is a crime thriller. It's what I enjoy reading. My short stories are anything that comes to mind to be honest. I've only just started writing so need a lot of practice and no doubt rejection letters!
I've been to your blog and am one of your new stalker ;)
Again, thank you for your comments, as you know, it's lovely to hear someone is actually reading my ramblings!

This very insightful and unusual podcast discusses the unique situation 5 of our clients face:
– They were rejected in the US by McKinsey NYC.
– Moscow (example city for one candidate) overruled the rejection, interviewed them and extended them an offer.
– Due to issues like conscription etc, they could not join Moscow immediately
– Moscow offered for them to start in Kiev, and remain there for 18 months before returning to Moscow.
– The candidate is not happy and is insisting the foreign McKinsey office staffs them in the US.
In this podcast I analyze the issue both from the US and foreign partners' perspectives and offer some advice for the candidates. At a certain point, a candidate must understand the importance of being a team player.

I've finally found a website that combines two of my greatest pleasures:
1) trivia quizzes (in this case those of the political variety)
2) watching cute girls take off their clothes
Indeed, Sexypolitics.com has come up with a great incentive for learning about the things that affect you politically. I mean, honestly, who wouldn't take politics a little more seriously if they could watch girls in various outfits and uniforms take off a bit of clothing with each correct answer?
The only downside? It's safe for work.
Anyhow, apparently I'm pretty good at it. I've only done about 10 quizzes and made the top 10 high scores on most of them. (It sucks, I did the one that I got the #1 score for before I registered.)
Anyhow, check it out.

Hoonah, Alaska (KINY) - A wooden water tank that serves as the backup water supply for the community failed this week sending 500-thousand gallons of water onto the street.
City Administrator Dennis Gray said the incident occurred June 4 around 2 a.m. "The wood stave construction type failed and released the water into a neighborhood. Luckily no real property damage other than gravel displaced. No one was injured because of the timing of the incident. that was the fortunate thing."
Some streets were flooded for a short time but no homes were damaged. There was quite a mess for crews to clean up. The entire structure collapsed. They had done some recent maintenance on the tank.
"So we had a pile of sticks down the hill and just the metal hoops left in the roof," he added
Gray said the main tank was not impacted. The tank contained about a third of the storage capacity for Hoonah.
They are doing an analysis with an engineering firm from Juneau to determine what caused the failure. One transformer got knocked out that resulted in a small explosion
Gray said he wanted to reassure Hoonah residents that the water supply is safe.
"The water supply is safe. The tank was not online, None of the water entered the water supply system at all so there is no cause of concern at this point in time."
