So, Everyone out there that is viewing this right now. I just wanted to drop by and say hi. Since I haven't updated this in a while. The last few months have been very busy for me in terms of working on my very first production as a ALD ( Assistant Lighting Designer). It was a wild ride and I have enjoyed every minute of it. It was a blessing to work with so many talented people. It was also quite the learning experience for me. "Picasso at Lapine Agile" was a great production the actors embodied characters they played and made it their own. The crew was also awesome in this from stage to lighting and sound. It was an well old machine. I can literally go on and on about how great this was.
So What's Next…
My life is slowly returning back to normal. I recently had spring break and spent most of it with my family in Chicago. I had a lot of things happen while I was there ( more on the personal side) the experience left me a mostly unnerved but I am working through it as best as I can. My blog needs a lot of house cleaning. I am still working on Actors bios. I am going to be adding other great people on this blog. Who I feel should also be notice. My plans are still eventually make the Mathnet section into a website of its own. Well, I hope that everyone out there is being safe. I want to thank each and every one of you for taken the time out to view my little blog. It means a lot to me. Until next time….

Simon has a secret crush; it is so secret he can't even share it with his amazing friends his super supportive family or his adoring little sister. He can't share it because no one knows what he knows about himself, no one, even all his super supportive family and friends, no one but Blue. He met Blue online and they write each other every day. Blue is living a secret life too, so on top of being cool and liking the same kinds of music and enjoying talking about the same topics, Blue also gets Simon's predicament. Simon is so worried about losing the only person that really understands him fully that he puts his other friendships at risk to protect his connection to Blue. But who is Blue, really? They only have ever emailed. What if he is not really who Simon imagines? What if it is all fake? What if he is making some of the biggest mistakes of his life?

text: LTS led a participatory evaluation of the UK Environment Agency/Department of Water Affairs (RSA) Watercourse project, which used innovative client-led methods to support stakeholder engagement for the development of new integrated water resource management institutions in South Africa. The evaluation took place over a period of three months and was undertaken with South African consultancy Pegasys. The main findings were that the novel approaches were an appropriate way to help fledgling organisations find their way in establishing their functions, but were more difficult in large bureaucracies where top down planning risked undermining bottom-up lead stakeholder processes.

Eight-time Paralympic champion Sophie Christiansen was among those to attend a forum on the development of Para-equestrian in the English town of Stow.
Christiansen, who followed a dressage bronze at Athens 2004 with two golds and silver at Beijing 2008 and then golden hat-tricks at London 2012 and Rio 2016, was joined by 70 delegates spanning 24 countries.
British team-mate Sophie Wells, a gold medal winner in London and Rio, was also present alongside Denmark's reigning Paralympic bronze medallist Stinna Tange Kaastrup.
Athletes representing Italy, Japan, Canada, Hong Kong and the US Virgin Islands also travelled to the Gloucestershire town, as well as judges, officials, classifiers and coaches.
Organised by the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) and hosted by British Dressage, the gathering followed an inaugural forum held in Essen, Germany, in 2015.
Developments in Para-dressage over the last two years were discussed, including the "success" of Rio 2016.
There were also "in-depth and energetic discussions which covered wide subject areas such as competition formats, the use of music in individual tests, classification, and ways to develop the sport further by making it easier to enter competitions".
"It's been brilliant," said Christiansen.
"The athletes should have more face time with judges and officials.
"I've felt that, for years, I've had things which I couldn't talk about but this weekend I have been able to meet people who would have the answers.
"I see these people at competitions but that's the wrong time to have quite frank discussions so I think it's really beneficial for me, as quite an opinionated athlete, to come to this."
Topics discussed include the renumbering of Para-equestrian grades from I to V, rather than the old system of grades Ia and b to IV.
"This is the second ever forum but the spirit we have in the group, all working towards a common goal, has given us a really inspiring two days," added Amanda Bond, chair of the FEI Para Dressage Technical Committee.
"We go into our committee meeting now for two days at which we review the rules and talk through all the major issues which have come up in the forum.
"We had some great ideas around things like developing coaching and working with the FEI's Solidarity programme and these are ideas we will work up a little more and see what we can do."

There are many parents who, when Christmas comes, they wonder if it is good for their children to grow up deceived, thinking that Santa Claus exist.
Perhaps the change is to stop seeing it as a deception and not as a way to stimulate their imagination before they have to start to face the stark reality.
We explain why it is good and worthwhile to continue with this magical tradition.
If we look at how children play, we see how they make up stories, stories with imaginary beings that often become their own reality, as is the case of invisible friends.
Magic traditions only come to foment that illusion intrinsic to childhood which in many cases, when we grow up, we lose. Children gain a progressive understanding of reality as they grow up. Magic and illusion only prevents that understanding of reality from being sudden and shocking. With these stories, like Disney's stories and movies, they gradually understand the world.
Even around the age of 5, children are dominated by magical thinking, making it difficult for them to distinguish fantasy from reality.
- Between 1 and 4 years old, camels and even the Three Wise Men are perceived as a reality. They are not yet ready to understand abstract concepts.
- From ages 4 to 6, children may begin to wonder if the Magi are real.
- Between the ages of 6 and 8, they are prepared to understand that Santa Claus is not real, or at least not in the strict sense.
- The ability to think abstractly develops normally between the ages of 7 and 14.
Lie or Fantasy?
There are those who think that lying to children is not an example of positive educational values, and that feeding this belief is not preparing them for the harsh reality of life (the children's unformed brain and personality are not prepared for the harsh reality of life, it has to be said). There are also those who believe that children who believe in Santa Claus will not show gratitude to those who are really giving them gifts. But the truth is that most parents use this tradition and these magical beings as blackmail to achieve the good behavior of their children, which implies an argument of values by which children learn that, in order to achieve the things they want, they need to make an effort and sacrifice. On the other hand, supporters of Santa Claus (aka Santa Claus) argue that only the memory of the sweetness of their childhood prompts them to transmit this mythology.
The fact is that lying ruthlessly is very ugly and to some extent even disrespectful. But as the wonderful Roberto Benigni taught us in his film "Life Is Beautiful", not saying "the whole truth" is also understandable when parents want to avoid suffering their children.
So, more than a lie, Santa Claus and The Three Kings have become a belief and ritual transmitted from the elders to the little ones. One only has to observe the complicity that is created with adults when a child suddenly realizes that they do not exist, but wants to do everything possible so that the youngest continue to believe. That's when they understand that they have grown up and are becoming part of the adult world.
The time to tell
Undoubtedly, this is a precious and magical tradition that keeps children (and parents) excited during their first years of life but, sooner or later, they will have to discover that these characters do not exist and that Santa Claus and the Three Kings are mommies and daddies.
We can choose to tell them ourselves or wait for them to find out at school because a colleague tells them. But in both cases, it's good to be prepared. The ideal would be to have an explanation prepared so that, if you happen to cry, you know how to calm your child.
However, everything depends on the relationship you have built with them around this tradition. It is yet another familiar tool for building relationships and bonds between young children and their parents.
According to Laura Aut, although at first discovering that the Kings or Santa Claus are the parents may be frustrating, the children will not take it as a lie, but they will live it as a fantasy that for all the time in which they have believed has provoked enthusiasm and has made them live very special moments. In any case, the psychologist reminds us that "we must not forget that frustration is not something negative, but quite the opposite; knowing how to tolerate is something that will favor them as adults".
In short, what is important for a child is not only the belief or non-belief in these magical characters, but the values that accompany these figures and the message that their parents want to convey when they make them believe in them. The main thing is that children believe in their dreams and live relatively carefree so that they can grow up with a sense of security without fearing the world that awaits them.

The new product King Claw, made from Kamchatka crab and created specially for the British market, premiered at a professional exhibition in London. Next up is a test-market and the beginning of online sales.
Twelve thousand people visited the Specialty & Fine Food Fair, held over three days in the beginning of September. And it was exactly here where several main innovations in food have been born, with industry giants scoping out food startups and farmers. Often big food trends emerge from such interactions, for example organic smoothies or gluten-free foods.
There was a serious buzz surrounding the stand of King Claw, a new canned crab product from Russian chef and entrepreneur Andrey Ryvkine. By the third day of the exhibition, many visitors and participants (and this is a purely professional community, not just anyone from the street could come) found out that that something spectacular was being served up at the King Claw kiosk. People came back for second and third helpings of the Russian seafood, often with friends and colleagues in tow. Many had no idea what they were eating: an unknown type of lobster, an overgrown shrimp or a type of crayfish that morphed due to the harsh Kamchatka environment.
Ryvkine prepared three products for tasting, which will be launched under the King Claw brand: a thick potage soup with king crab legs, tomato pasta sauce with crab, and crab chowder. The crab claw potage was an absolute hit, as it reminds British people of their favorite meal: cottage shrimps, prawns, pressed in oil. This is a well-known concept, but it has a new and more delicate taste.
Those who sampled King Claw – from famous restaurateurs as well as buyers from some of the oldest and most famous delicatessen boutiques in London – all gave the crab high ratings. More than 20 kilograms of king crab were consumed in just 3 days. The project is immediately working with two incubators – Moscow-based Mabius and London-based Grocery Accelerator, which have received high professional ratings. Next up is presenting the product at the London festival Omnivore and starting online sales on kingclaw.net in mid October. At the same time, negotiations are underway with distributors in England, and we hope that King Claw appears on supermarket shelves by the end of autumn.

Vintage trailer prices are based on supply and demand. A limited number of vintage trailers available in the market has driven the asking price of trailers up over the past decade. The large demand for classic trailers makes RIGHT NOW a good time to sell. If you are waiting until spring, you may want to re-think that. Buyers are looking for trailers now to be ready for the camping season. With fewer trailers for sale in the winter months, the supply is less. Limited supply, high demand, you do the math.
A Testimonial that we received this week:
Please place a SOLD SIGN on my De Ville ad, I have always had great results with ads on Vintage Camper Trailers Classifieds. I got a hot buyer the same day the ad was placed. The money, and title changed hands the same week. He lives only a few miles from me and came over to look at the trailer "in the rain" the first day it was listed. It was a full price sale, and he's paying me expenses to tow it up to Zephyr Cove in South Lake Tahoe in the spring. Thanks for all of your help, Happy Holidays. -John P.

So Cal Vintage Trailer in San Diego created a classic barbershop inside of a 1948 Spartan Manor for the Cremo Company, a national men's beard, shaving and hair care brand. The trailer was to be used for a campaign focused on Cremo's "barber grade" quality and is featured in issue #45 of the Vintage Camper Trailers Magazine. Vintage trailers are popping up everywhere as "Vintage Vendors" or as in this case, a work of art that brings attention to the brand.
Taking design inspiration from historic barbershops, the Cremo Spartan includes a fully functional barber station, lounge, bar and bathroom. The classic barber chair is a focal point. Two floor-to-ceiling safety glass showroom windows were added to let everyone get a look at what's happening inside the trailer.
Other modifications to the Spartan Manor body and chassis included a six-inch body lift to increase the interior height for Cremo's crew of barbers. The trailer was also converted from a single axle to a tandem axle setup with a beefed-up frame and an extended tongue to accommodate the installation of a 7,000-watt generator up front. A custom aluminum luggage rack was fabricated for the top of the trailer.
The interior features all new birch paneling, oak cabinetry and distressed hickory hardwood flooring in the main cabin. The bathroom includes a stainless-steel shower and inlaid ceramic tile floor. Two hidden split system air conditioners cool the interior and a vintage-look, full-size refrigerator and built-in blender provide cold beers and margaritas for clients. A large serving hatch over the bar provides more views inside and a place for answering questions and handing out product samples.
All of the exterior signage was hand painted - no wraps or vinyl lettering was used. The traditional hand lettering included the use of gold leaf to emphasize the quality of the Cremo brand. To add even more historic style, a classic lighted rotating barber pole was installed.
According to So Cal Vintage Trailer owner Denny Stone, "It was great fun working with Cremo to put this together. Almost every inch of this trailer was modified in some way and nothing about it was easy, but the result made it all worthwhile."
Vintage Trailers Supply had it's grand opening in Sante Fe, New Mexico in September of 2019. VTS has moved its operation from Vermont to the South West. I was honored to have been asked to speak at the festival. I gave a talk on "Selling your vintage trailer."
Here are 7 things that you can do to sell your trailer quicker and for more money:
Consider selling (and buying) on the Vintage Camper Trailers Classifieds. Sell your trailer parts on the classifieds for FREE! People LOVE vintage trailers and there seems to be no end to the families that want to be involved in the hobby. Magazine subscribers always get 20% off of their classified ads.
Consider this your warning:
STInky Trailer?
What can you do to ensure that your vintage trailer doesn't get that funky musty smell? Mold and mildew can make your trailer stink and do damage to the soft surfaces inside your RV. The musty smell when you walk into the RV is an indication that there are damp areas where mold could be growing. A dehumidifier in your RV when it is stored for extended periods of time will prevent the build-up of moisture.
Mold can occur during winter as windows are closed and the surface of walls and windows become colder because the outside air temperature is lower. Simply opening a window is not a solution in the winter months, this is where a dehumidifier comes in. It will reduce the level of humidity in the air by sucking in air from the room at one end, removing the moisture, and then blowing dehumidified air back out into the room again.
Many RV owners find that compressor dehumidifiers would not work well at temperatures below 60 degrees Fahrenheit, and there were often problems with the compressor dehumidifier machines icing up. These dehumidifiers address these issues, functioning consistently well at all temperatures.
You can also attract and remove moisture from the air with a scented moisture absorber. For $10-$30 you can protect your vintage trailer from moisture damage while you eliminate musty odors. Excess moisture is absorbed into the white calcium chloride crystals. The white crystals begin to harden and form a solid mass. Hardened crystals must be discarded and re-purchased as they are used. Another trick is to place open containers of coffee (a cup or so) in your cabinets. The coffee grounds can help neutralize any odors that you may already have.

Museums of the Midwest
We visited these museums on a recent trip through the Midwest...
RV/MH Hall of Fame and Museum. Elkhart, IN.- More trailers than cars, The RV Founders Hall displays trailers, photos, and memorabilia reaching back to the 1920's and 1930's. The museum presents chronological and technological advancements in the industry from before WW I to the present. It is a must see for anyone that appreciates the history of the RV industry in America. www.rvmhhalloffame.org
The Volo Museum. Volo, IL- A family owned and operated museum that is also home to Volo Auto Sales, one of the most respected names in the industry. Many of the displays feature vehicles that are for sale, so the collection is always changing. Well organized, labeled, and displayed, this collection is a "must see"! There are iconic classic and muscle cars, and original cars from movies and TV. There are at least a half a dozen Duesenberg cars, a self-playing orchestra, a Disney gallery, and a vast collection of pop culture and Americana artifacts. From boats and scooters to juke boxes and bicycles, there is something for everyone. Eight vintage trailers and RVs are on display; two that were featured in the Vintage Camper Trailers Magazine. www.volocars.com
Pioneer Village. Minden, NE- Founded in 1953 by Harold Warp, a Chicago manufacturer, the museum is a complex of 28 buildings on 20 acres with a total collection of over 50,000 items. 100 antique tractors. The world's oldest Buick, a 1902 Cadillac and a 1903 Ford, both designed by Henry Ford. There are 350 other antique cars, all displayed in their order of development. Many look like time stood still in the mid 60's. The shear quantity of items at this attraction takes a full day to walk through. Only one pre-war Masonite Vagabond trailer on display. www.pioneervillage.org
The Henry Ford, Dearborn, MI- Experience firsthand the sights, sounds and sensations of America's formation. Over 80 acres showcase 300 years of American perseverance serve as a living reminder that anything is possible. See the building where Thomas Edison had his lightbulb moment or the workshop where the Wright brothers repaired bikes and pioneered flight. Take a ride in a real Model T, or a walk through four working farms. The museum has some fantastic cars but also showcases many other aspects of American ingenuity. www.thehenryford.org
Pioneer Auto Museum, Murdo, SD- This long-standing museum featuring 275+ classic cars, tractors & motorcycles was recommended to us by several people in the area. Having recently toured several other similar attractions, this display was the least impressive. I was told "everything is for sale", but nothing was priced, and most items weren't even labeled. Most of the cars were behind flimsy hog-wire in a hodge-podge of barns. They had a 1921 White RV that claimed to have traveled from "Ocean to Ocean then Around the World" www.pioneerautoshow.com
A Journey-One Painting at a Time
by Simone Ritter
An inner fire makes me long to paint; this fire frees my spirit and feeds my mind. The minute I put my brush on canvas or paper my thoughts seem to calm down, as if to focus and make sense 'of it all'. This process often results in vibrant, bold colour applications. When I apply pigment- strokes of vibrant juicy and rich colours- a painting takes shape and I feel that inner glow - brilliant, beaming, glorious, joyful radiance. I forget about time and space, it is like meditating and letting my mind 'float away'. Once I finish a painting I feel mostly tired, but happily 'empty' as my emotions, my fire and energy got transferred onto the canvas leaving me refreshed to soak in anew what life has to offer. My approach is very simplified and focused by only using the three primary colours. However, the best available artist's paints make it a joy to create a limitless number of different shades, values and colours. I enjoy painting from life. When I paint outside, 'en plein air', I try to capture the moment, the light, the sound and the smell of the air as if to take the viewer with me to the place, but still leave enough room for their own interpretation. Because the winters are very cold in New Brunswick, I am forced to paint indoors during the colder months. During those times I explore new ways, try new products and approaches.

Designing Small Spaces
Hard Work Paid Off
I got it livable and stayed in a week. I did some more work and took it out on a 2 month road trip. During my trip I met lots of people with trailers and Airstreams and visited some Airstream shops. Turns out I was on the right track all along and many people have asked me to share my story. As of this writing it's at about 90% now, but she will never be done of course!
We couldn't be more happy for Eric and glad to hear his restoration was a successful one. Every photo Heffrons receives from customers is unique because a little part of the customer can be found through their hard work and vision. No matter the project, big or small, we hope this story give you insight and inspiration of what is possible and help you come up with ideas for your own camper, trailer or motor home. To learn more you can visit our website: www.Heffrons.com. We look forward to hearing from you!

I knew the ceiling over the kitchen area had leaked in the past because it sagged a bit and was soft to the touch. This I would repair in the future. Well, the future arrived sooner than later! During the winter months, I was smelling mildew? While inspecting the ceiling, pushing on it harder, IT ALL FELL THROUGH!!! Wet rotted wood and insulation. Oh Crap!
I learned a lot while working on the Scotty, which made the second round easier. I hope that some of my repair descriptions will help others with their projects.
Of course, the first thing was to inspect the roof when the weather was decent enough to remove the tarp. After cleaning it, I removed all the old dried caulking that was peeling away around the vents. After applying new caulking, I had purchased one gallon of "Kool Seal" 63-600 White Reflective Roof Coating with a Ten-year Warranty. This product is made for roofing and half the cost of the advertised "Flex Seal". Their calculations said that I would need one and one-half gallons for my eight by ten roof. I thought that I would test the coverage of one gallon first. You can roll it or brush it on. I used a brush, going cross direction on each dried coat for tensile strength, while covering the caulking for an extra seal. The one gallon with three coats was solid enough. Of course, the amount of roof seal will depend on the condition of one's roof.
With the roof now weather proofed, I replaced the rotted ceiling supports and insulation. The thickness of the old paneling left a gap large enough that I did not have to remove the cupboards to install a sheet of patterned vinyl from Home Depot. After cutting out the section for the refrigerator area, I applied contractors glue onto the new supports. I was able to slip the flexible vinyl through the gaps between the walls and the ceiling, which covered the ceiling in the cupboards and the closets without having to piece it. The patience (with Two people) was to slide the edges into the existing plastic groves which held the paneling. Then white upholstery tacks were used on the supports for extra hold.
I was going to paint the yellowed vinyl tack paper over the back half of the ceiling white. But, figured that after I had taped off areas and probably painted two coats, it would be easier and faster to install the same matching vinyl that's over the kitchen area. After my cuts, we test fitted the vinyl. Then applied the glue in lines about five inches apart onto the back side, then put the sheet in place. Continuing with the upholstery tacks into the existing wood ceiling about twelve inches apart. Well, we weren't going to stand there with our arms up, holding it until the glue dried! I pre-planned having two, two-by-fours about five feet in length running the width of the trailer with two-by-four posts pushed against these and the floor to hold it all up until it dried for two days. Not only did this white vinyl add a fresh new look but gave the effect of a taller and larger space.
At our age, we wanted a toilet. The full-length closet was not large enough for the porta potty and maneuverability. I removed the wall between the full closet and the storage closet. Narrowing the storage closet and widening the toilet room by eight inches. I then painted the brown paneling an off white to make the toilet room brighter and less claustrophobic. After returning two different porta potties that were more for children. I highly recommend the Thetford Curve Pota Potti Toilet. The seat and the height are just right for adults. Plus, the battery flush button allows for a small flush first, so the (you know) doesn't stick to the trap door when flushing. Don't forget to remove the batteries when in storage so they don't corrode. I replaced the old 12-volt light fixtures with new 12-volt LED fixtures, including one in the toilet room. Replaced the 110-volt bulbs with LED's.
Since I was going through all the work removing, cleaning, polishing the outside aluminum trims, and applying new butyl tape. I was not going to put on the old dull and rusted bolts and screws. I invested in stainless steel. (About 300) SWEET! It all looks shiny and new!
I had taken some photos to the auto repair shop that advertises nationally to paint your car for $399. to ask on the cost to have them paint the trailer? "WHAT? That cost more than I paid for the trailer!". "Well that's not going to happen!" BEWARE for trickery advertising. Those ads we see on TV for a car paint special for $399. THAT IS FOR THE PAINT ONLY! That price does not include the prep work, the taping, the actual painting! I decided to repaint the entire trailer myself. This was not difficult for me as an artist to get the nice consistency to achieve the final sheen. The trick to not getting runs, is to spray many light layers until all was evenly covered. (about four-five layers). We wanted an antique look, not the pure white that it was. It took twelve cans of "Gloss White Canvas" to paint the entire trailer. (Three green for the accents, Two black for the tongue and rear bumper). About $85.00 total in paint! It looks great until one day I can get it professionally painted.
I repainted the outside red trim and the red wooden wings a green trim that is a close color to my SUV. Adding the arrow head shapes to the front and the back for some pizzazz. The same on the wheel hubs. We kept the wonderful original lime green speckled linoleum which is a nice contrast to the darker inside paneling. I am attracted to the color of green. With many hues to coordinate, greens are pleasant while having a calming effect, as the color spectrum throughout nature. We purchased green coordinating fabrics, and I sewed the cushion covers, new curtains, and accent pillows. We kept the overall color theme solid due to the small space. We enjoy seeing the wild decorated trailers, but, too many things and patterns would send my head spinning without having a cocktail!
Because the interior was too dark with the original solid aluminum ceiling vent. I replaced it with a white plastic one. (Big difference having natural light coming through) TIP: To keep the trailer cooler on hot days with the sun and heat coming through the white vent. I cut a one-inch thick piece of sheet Styrofoam that has the foil on one side, the size of the vent facing up to reflect the heat. Adding two small wing bolts opposite to hold it in place. This probably can be done with foil over cardboard.
Not needing the folding bunk. I removed the larger platform (saving it and the cushion for future sell) and put a piece of three-inch floor molding across the front of the smaller platform to keep things from falling off while traveling. I decided to leave the white primer as it accented the white ceiling and white table top. Also, as a reminder to not hit our heads when sitting. An idea came to raise the front of that platform by six inches, so it didn't feel like sitting under a shelf. I cut two pieces of wood that is one half by one and a half inches at six-inch lengths and then stained them. I glued Velcro on the ends, and Velcro where the ends will rest to raise the platform after the trailer is parked. "Voila!".
Since the old paneling had scuff marks. I went over all of it with dark, scratch covering furniture polish. That looked nice for a couple of weeks until the old dried paneling had soaked it all in! Dull again? It took two quarts of stain to cover all the paneling. The wood was so dry that the stain didn't drip much as it was sucked in! The paneling now looks new!
The previous owner had reversed the axles, which raised the trailer about 4-5 inches. This looked odd at first. Then, I remembered how the Scotty Trailer's rear end would hit the ground of a sloped driveway or when other obstacles interfered. We want to be able to take it off road, so the extra height was fine. Stepping up into the trailer was awkward, so I had a fold out step installed.
While at this rally, I noticed a trailers canopy with a curved upward crown, giving the under canopy extra height, instead of sagging, especially when it rained. Inquiring? He purchased some quarter inch diameter flexible tent poles. Since his wife had sewn the canopy herself, she added little pockets to the inside corners to hold the tent poles. While cutting one tent pole shorter to fit the diagonal. He did not know that there was a cable inside to hold the flexing.
He described how difficult it was to pull the cable out and reattach it. During my research on EBAY tent poles. I found one-half inch Chimney Cleaning Poles in a set of six, each at four feet long. (solid without a cable inside). I took our custom-made 8'x 8' canopy and sewed pockets into the corners. NOTE: Do not cut the rods by the square root for the diagonal because they will be too short for the uplift of the canopy. With your canopy installed, take three rods screwed together, put one end of the rod into a pocket, bend the rod upwards to figure how tight you want the uplift, then cut the length if needed. Once the rods are set into the diagonal corner pockets, you need to tie or (Velcro) the crossing top rods so they do not snake out of position.
The icing on the cake for our KEEPER, are the new Baby Moon Hubcaps!!! Christening it with a logo designed and made by my brother-in-law, Monte Williams, in the shape of a hammock, "Relaxin". Notice how the X hangs over like a leg! We'll christen our Shasta on a camping trip to celebrate our thirtieth anniversary!
Rally Days Turn to Vintage Nights
A vintage trailer rally may best be described as something between a car show and a camping trip. The popularity of "glamping", or glamorous camping, has introduced a whole new type of camper to the outdoor lifestyle. Many of these "campers" are not inclined to rough it much more than maybe having to walk to the restroom at their favorite RV park! A vintage trailer rally can draw anywhere from a dozen trailers to a couple of hundred trailers, all of which were originally manufactured before the disco craze was over.
Vintage trailers can be the perfect solution for the part-time or beginner camper. Often a vintage trailer can be picked up at the fraction of the cost of a new trailer and simple repairs or decorating can be made as time and money permits. Vintage trailerites, are often drawn to vintage trailers because of their classic styling and the memories that they evoke. If you are considering the purchase of a vintage trailer, or just admire their timeless beauty, visiting a vintage trailer rally may be something you want to add to your bucket list. Vintage trailer rallies and shows are held across the USA. Chances are, there is a rally not far from you.
Many rallies offer an "open house" during the weekend long event. We host several large rallies a year and have our open house from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm on Saturday. Our rallies have 150 to 250 trailers, and most of the trailer owners will invite you in to their trailer and share with you, their passion for the hobby. (Find rally dates at www.trailerfestrally.com) Visiting a variety of different makes and models of trailers will give you a better feel for what you would like to purchase for yourself if you are in the market. If you aren't looking to buy, it is an enjoyable way to spend the afternoon reminiscing about the good old days while touring mid century coaches. We took our vintage trailer experience and put everything we know about rallies in a book titled "Vintage Camper Trailer Rallies". Whether you are attending a rally, considering hosting an event, or just want to live vicariously through hundreds of photos, our book is packed with information and a lot of eye candy. (Available at www.vintagecampertrailers.com)
Having attended and hosted vintage trailer rallies for over a decade, I can tell you that far and away my favorite time in the park is after dark. The trailers' natural wood interiors take on a glow that can be admired through the window or screen door as you stroll through the park. The exteriors are often illuminated with colorful lights that create a sense of whimsy. With crackling campfires, laughter and usually a guitar or other instruments heard throughout the park, all of your senses can feel the camaraderie and friendships that are formed on each and every trip.
Vintage trailer rallies are not open to the public at night. Unless you are participating in a rally you may never have the chance to see a couple of hundred vintage trailers lit up after hours. Photographer Rick Rajewski captured photos of vintage trailers at night with the moon and stars overhead. An avid camper, Rick and his wife Cheryl purchased a 1964 Silver Streak and hit the road to find others who shared their passion for the past. Rick's calendar, "Vintage Nights" showcases more than a dozen of these high quality photos. The calendar is sold out. The Rajewskis (and their two Pembroke Welsh Corgis, River & Woody) live in Palos Verdes, California.

There is plenty of room for involvement! Let us tell you why and how.
For a while you may have followed our construction development project in Tirana, and we can tell you that its realization is on schedule and it is entering its final stages of completion.
The structure that was planned two years ago to replace the original residence of the Ivanaj Family, built by two patriotic brothers, Martin and Mirash, in the middle 1930's on what was then a virgin soil zone, is now a modern 9-story, L-shaped building at the intersection of two main streets in what is now Tirana's city center and upper scale part of town (only 7 minute car ride from/to Tirana's main square).
This entire complex (to be named 'Rezidenca Ivanaj') that includes underground garages and embraces an inside courtyard of assorted (to be planted) greenery, has its outside perimeter already lined up on both street angles by newly planted ('bliri'-'tilia') lime scented trees, and completely reconstructed sidewalks.
The entire first floor of this establishment is totally dedicated for use by the Ivanaj Foundations of Tirana and New York, as headquarters for their operations and development of planned programs and projects, benefitting Albanian culture and educational within the country and abroad.
Setting up of these premises for their intended purposes is a real challenge for a variety reasons, and it involves all sorts of expertise in addition to the basic architecture. To eventually be able to open our floor to all we want to serve, we are glad of being able to cope with whatever needs to be done now, including the very dissimilar and unsystematic European way of work from what we are used to, based on decades of successful projects' implementations in the U.S.
One particular item that will face visitors when they exit our private elevator to enter our floor, is going to be a marble 'Honor Wall' where we hope to engrave the names of individuals, businesses, institutions that will become major donors to our organizations.
All sorts of contributions are needed and can be made, as per below, but let us reiterate other ways in which you can support our development:
- You can help spread our news and needs, or engage others in doing the same, via social media, among friends and family, or within your own network or organization;
- You can solicit contributions to favor us with cash (any amount is welcomed and appreciated), or in kind, as explained in our 'Donate' web-section;
- All contribution made to our New York Foundation are tax deductible for US purposes and can be used by us in Albania, as per IRS ruling;
- Donors of large contributions can specify, if they wish, how the funds they provide should be used (ie: buying furniture or equipment for our training rooms, naming a room after their family, or displaying their family mementos in our exhibit areas, etc.)
Many of you have helped us consistently with personal checks, and we are honored to have such loyal friends and followers, but now we need to enlarge our donors' network and your involvement becomes even more important in our development.
Online contributions are also possible and effective, thus please click here for more details, and point them out to whoever else you may reach. Many thanks for your attention and action.

Whenever I'm asked to do a go-to guide on the best ways to enjoy Havana's cultural scene, my first thought is: "I can't choose – just go out there and explore!". My initial, helpless advice boils down to the fact that Havana is ideal for travelers in search for lesser known, off-the-beaten-track places. In Cuba's capital, there are no hidden clubs or elite-styled galleries. Art lies in plain sight here, especially in houses turned galleries in quirky neighborhoods.
But, if you're looking for a hint, a preview, a quick glimpse into this 500-year-old city and its cultural expressions, read on for the must-go places and our list of Havana's quirkiest cultural hot spots.

Being half-Cuban and bilingual, I've had the distinct opportunity to experience Cuba both as a tourist and a local. Returning each year to visit family and friends, I've travelled the island extensively and gotten to know her many facets and personalities. Each time, I come to the same conclusion: Cuba is not the kind of country you can experience superficially. You have to get down to the nitty-gritty. You have to seek out her realities. You have to immerse yourself. Otherwise, you're not doing justice to yourself or to her people.

What most people don't realise, is that Cuba is quite the family-friendly destination, especially since Cubans are so welcoming and kind to children.

(Yicai Global) Oct. 19 -- Over 400 million tourists visited the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area last year, generating more than CNY1 trillion (USD153 billion) in revenue for the region's tourism sector, data released at the 6th Global Tourism Economy Forum held recently in Macao show.
The area comprises the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macao and nine cities in the mainland's Pearl River Delta region.
Mainland Chinese tourists made 122 million outbound trips last year, of which 58 percent visited Hong Kong and Macao.
The two regions remain popular travel destinations this year, with growth in tourist numbers in Macao beating expectations during the recent National Day holiday, said Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes, director of the Macao Government Tourism Office. "Inbound travelers to Macao grew 11 percent, compared with a projected increase of 3 to 5 percent," she said.
Macao has offered more diversified tourism products to meet the demand of different travelers following greater cooperation between itself, Guangdong province and Hong Kong in the tourism industry, she said. The development of the Greater Bay Area also provides Macao with a critical opportunity.
"The Greater Bay Area needs to improve soft links to further promote its tourism industry," said Bao Jigang, an official from the UN World Tourism Organization. "Efforts should go toward facilitating customs clearance, speeding up visa application processing, easing restrictions on self-driving tours in mainland China for Hong Kong and Macao residents, and an overall relaxation of regulations."
The three regions have held talks about deepening cooperation in tourism, with the goal of building the Greater Bay Area into an international travel destination, an obstacle-free tourist area and a world-class tourism cooperation zone, said Zeng Yingru, head of the Guangdong Province Tourism Administration.
Places in the Greater Bay Area should work together to promote the region and encourage each other to meet tourists' demand for culture-related tours, Hong Kong's Commissioner for Tourism Cathy Chu said.


text: Now in theaters. A shocking exorcism spirals out of control, claiming the life of a young woman. Months later, Megan Reed (Shay Mitchell) is working the graveyard shift in the morgue when she takes delivery of a disfigured cadaver. Locked alone inside the basement corridors, Megan begins to experience horrifying visions and starts to suspect that the body may be possessed by a ruthless demonic force. I caught a matinee of this today. It's basically the mainstream studio version of The Autopsy Of Jane Doe, only filtered through the typical Sony horror aesthetic of movies like Slender Man or Raimi's Ghost House Pictures line-up. How you feel about those movies is probably a fair gauge of how you'll feel about this one. Running a brisk 85-minutes, a majority of the running time of this very quiet horror movie is mostly Shay Mitchell's character wandering through the morgue, with an occasional jump scare or a creepy figure lurking in the background. The plot is extremely straight-forward, and there's not much in the way of twists or surprises. It's exactly what the trailer looks like. Nick Thune kind of steals the movie in his small role, I couldn't help but think this would be a better movie with him as the lead. Everyone else here is pretty generic. I don't think I'd recommend it unless you have a subscription service like A-List or MoviePass. I'm sure it will wind up on Starz soon enough, like most Sony releases. It's probably weird that I'd start a thread on a movie that I was just so-so on, but considering it's the big theatrical horror release of the weekend, I figured I might as well say a few words. Anyone else see this yet, or planning to check it out this weekend?

because of our really great experience in antonio's a couple of months ago, we were excited to try antonio's grill as soon as we had a chance for dinner in tagaytay.
antonio's grill has a great location along the ridge and the interior is very pleasant. wide and cool with the red and white of the original antonio's.
since antonio is from bacolod, we ordered two of the better known dishes from the area: batchoy
and chicken inasal
i wonder if it was fair for us to compare these to what we have in negros. on one hand, these are not prepared in the local context by cooks who have spent their lives perfecting the flavors; on the other, these are done by a renowned restaurant name whose flagship restaurant is always mentioned among asia's best.
we were, in a word, underwhelmed. the flavors of these dishes, while correct, were muted. some time during the meal i wondered if it was because there was a western aesthetic of subtlety being applied when these are not actually subtle dishes. whatever it was, they were simply not as tasty as they could have been.
price-wise, reasonable. we spent P400 for a bowl of batchoy, an order of pa-a (thigh and leg) and isol (ass). but perhaps better to order something else. on our end, we decided to just save up a lot and grab a steak at the original antonio's where, apparently, the gastronomic delights are concentrated.

A serving National Youth Service Corps member has been convicted to one-month imprisonment for obtaining by false pretence, the sum of $150
This was the decision of a Federal High Court sitting in Enugu.
Samuel Orie pleaded to impersonation and obtaining by false pretence before justice I.N Buba.
The Corper was charged to court by the Enugu Chapter of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Mr Orie had presented himself as an American Contractor, one Mr. Scott Gibb.
Speaking on the issue, the EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren said the defendant's lawyer pleaded with the court to temper justice with mercy, saying his client was a first time offender.
The lawyer also begged that Orie was remorseful and was willing to make restitution for his actions.
The court, however, sentenced Orie to one month in imprisonment starting from the date of his incarceration.
The judgement also asked him to forfeit the said amount $150 and his mobile phone.

JC Penney Finds
I usually splurge on bags, so I am always on the hunt for cute, well made, yet inexpensive clothes. Most of the time, I strike out, but there are times when I find a few diamonds in the rough. Last week I happened upon an ad for JC Penney that had an adorable maxi skirt. And of course, I had to get home and look it up. Not only did I find that skirt, but I found a few other lovelies I thought I would share. JC Penney does have some really trendy and cute clothes. You just have to remember to check them out (making mental note now!)

(CNN) -- Iraqi war drama "The Hurt Locker" won big with the National Society of Film Critics on Sunday. It was selected by the group of film reviewers from some of the country's top publications as the best picture of 2009.
The film also took the best director award for Kathryn Bigelow and best actor for Jeremy Renner.
"The Hurt Locker" is about an elite Army bomb squad disarming explosive devices in the heat of urban combat in the months after the invasion of Iraq.
Though it has pulled in only $16 million at the box office worldwide, according to the Web site Box Office Mojo, "The Hurt Locker" has been a favorite among critics this year. The film has won top honors from the New York Film Critics Circle, the Chicago Film Critics Awards and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association.
The society selected Yolande Moreau as best actress for her performance in "Seraphine," a French film about painter Seraphine de Senlis, on Sunday night. Joel and Ethan Coen won best screenplay for "A Serious Man," a dark comedy about a Midwestern professor who watches his life unravel.
Mo'Nique was selected as best supporting actress for her portrayal of an abusive mother in "Precious."
Austrian actor Christoph Waltz won best supporting actor for his work in "Inglourious Basterds," the Quentin Tarantino-directed World War II film starring Brad Pitt as the leader of a renegade group of soldiers trying to kill Adolf Hitler.
The National Society of Film Critics, though influential, often strays from the more traditional films that end up as big winners at the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes. They have a reputation for choosing art house and foreign films over big box office hits. The group doesn't hold an awards ceremony; instead, members vote at Sardi's restaurant in New York and send scrolls to winners instead of statuettes.

Aus in 'good economic shape' to see through coronavirus crisis13/07/2020|9min
Treasurer Josh Frydenberg says the federal government is financially equipped to bring Australia out of the coronavirus crisis with support plans targeting those most in need. The Morrison government is set to roll out a $4 billion scheme designed to grant $750 payments to welfare recipients struggling in the economic fallout of the pandemic. Mr Frydenberg told Sky News "we will continue to spend as required but we're also going to be disciplined". "We entered this economic crisis from a position of economic strength -we had got the books in a good shape to be able to get us through this crisis," he said. He said the government's $260 billion given out in economic support to date "has helped stabilise the economy". "It's given not just an economic boost but also a psychological boost," he said. "The Labor Party is saying go and buy and airline, go and spend on this, go and spend on that, we're much more focused on ensuring support gets to the people that need it… that's reflected in our announcement on July 23. "It will be consistent with the principles that have governed us well going into this crisis, namely spending that is scalable, targeted and proportionate to the challenges we face as well as using existing systems."

RVH cites manpower challenges, drop in births in closure of Obstetrics Unit
At a Town Hall meeting on Tuesday February 4, it was announced that Renfrew Victoria Hospital will close its Obstetrics Unit on June 30, 2014. Chief of Staff Dr. Steve Radke told RVH staff that several factors led to the decision, including a lack of physician manpower, a decline in births at the hospital in recent years, and changing patient demographics.
RVH has provided obstetrics services for low-risk deliveries throughout its history, but Renfrew County now has the highest proportion of seniors in the Champlain Local Health Integration Network. This upward trend in the number of seniors has been projected to continue while the number of younger people has been projected to decrease.
The shift in demographics is reflected in a drop in the Obstetrics Unit deliveries over the years—going from 123 in 2006–2007 to only 58 in 2011–2012.
"We are sad to be closing the unit but, after factoring in all the issues involved, it is ultimately the best course of action for RVH's patients and for physicians," Radke said.
The decline in births at RVH coincides with a shortage of obstetrics-trained physicians. Three physicians who currently provide rotating services in the Obstetrics Unit have chosen to discontinue obstetrical services in the coming months.
"Despite the successful recruitment efforts of Renfrew and Area Health Services Village and RVH, the reduced number of graduating family physicians with training and an interest in obstetrics makes it very difficult to recruit for the program," stated Radke. "In Renfrew, one of the last nine physicians has been interested in practising obstetrics, which is indicative of training program trends."
RVH's Medical Advisory Committee discussed these issues at a special meeting, Radke said. "After much review, debate and discussion, we regretfully put forward the recommendation that the Board consider closing the Obstetrics Program."
Four hospitals—The Ottawa Hospital, Almonte, Queensway Carleton, and Pembroke—provide obstetrics services in this area. "Expectant mothers can work with their local physicians to choose their best care option," said Dr. Stephanie Langlois, adding "many physicians offer 'shared care,' which allows patients to continue seeing their local GP until late in their pregnancies when they go to an obstetrics specialist."
"While the OBS numbers are low, we will continue to work with this population and our GPs to ensure that services are coordinated and available," said Chris Ferguson, RVH Vice President of Patient Care Services. Ferguson noted that in the last year, 67% of expectant mothers left Renfrew for services elsewhere. She also confirmed that RVH would establish policies and protocols for emergency delivery situations.
"The provision of obstetrical services has been and remains a very significant challenge in a small, rural setting like Renfrew. Our staff and physicians have done a wonderful job over the years. To all of them, I would say thank you for a job well done. You should be very proud of your accomplishments. With that having been said, the model in a rural setting requires adequate manpower and volumes to support clinical competency for both GPs and RNs. Our own analysis indicates a continuing downward trend in demand for this service. This is not a financial decision. Our organization needs to reflect the needs of our population and our population is aging in a very significant way," said Randy Penney, President and CEO of RVH.
Andy Boldt, Chair of the RVH Board, said: "This was a difficult decision. After exploring all of the issues and searching for sustainable solutions, planning for the closure of the obstetrics unit is the right thing to do."
For further information, RVH invites the public to attend a town hall meeting at 6 p.m. on Wednesday February 5, in the RVH cafeteria.

While the initial transfer to another content management system might sound like a lot of work, it provides a great opportunity to grow your web design business. Especially with the Business Catalyst end-of-life announcement, many users are looking to a new CMS like WordPress.
We've looked into why WordPress makes the perfect solution for Business Catalyst users and how to streamline your processes with tons of free resources. But perhaps the biggest key for freelancers, agencies, and businesses moving off of Business Catalyst is convincing your clients that this transition will be easy for them and provide even more value than before!
As someone building websites for clients, this transition gives you the perfect opportunity to naturally assess your prices and how you package your services. Our number one recommendation is to move toward a recurring revenue model, where you can sell single-time projects (like this transition from Business Catalyst) and then recurring services (such as monthly WordPress maintenance). So, how do you get there?
Selling (and upselling) your clients
"This is a huge opportunity to redesign your client sites and make a positive play for your business! It's all about how you sell it. " Let's walk through how to sell your clients on WordPress and how to upsell your services moving forward.
"This is the perfect time to audit your site."
Now that you're moving your clients sites over to WordPress, this makes it a great time to audit the site and make the most of your time as well. If your client has a ton of content on their website, it may be time to start looking into what changes they want made, what content they no longer need, and what the plan of attack is from the design and development side.
It's important to keep in mind that exporting posts and sites can be a slow but necessary process. Get to know exactly what your clients want (specific articles, pages, images, etc.), You might not need to move everything!
Whenever you start a new project like this or just need to create a new site in general, communication is key! Obviously you want to be able to set clear goals and minimize unnecessary work for yourself. After all, scope creep can be one of the biggest setbacks with new projects and moving websites to a new CMS.
"This change is only going to increase your site stability."
When you work with a managed host, there are so many benefits to your client. Obviously every hosting company is a little different, but with a host like Flywheel, you get your own dedicated server. This means you don't have to share resources with other sites, which greatly minimizes your chance of downtime. With shared servers, your space is divided, which can sometimes cause problems when you're sharing space with other sites.
You also have the option to select where your site is hosted around the globe, which can drastically improve performance. Say you're a developer in London, England, but most of your site traffic comes from Sydney, Australia. You can pick a server closer to Sydney so that your site visitors get the best (and fastest!) experience.
Most WordPress hosts also have a safe way to make site changes without directly working on the live site. Flywheel offers staging sites that allow you to make changes in a staging environment, then push the updates live when you're ready to launch!
And while it's not all attributed to servers and staging, there's virtually no downtime on Flywheel (I'm talking 99.95% uptime), which can be a major selling point itself for most clients! All this allows you to give your client more peace of mind, which you can leverage when talking to them about the redesign.
"There's no need to worry about the technical stuff."
Most WordPress hosts offer various features to help with the technical nitty-gritty you may have offloaded with your previous CMS. And this is great because it frees up your time to keep doing your best work!
Flywheel offers a suite of tools that will take tasks off your mind and off your plate. For example, Flywheel automatically performs nightly backups, so you can sleep soundly knowing there's always someone looking out for your sites. And of course, you can also create more backups any time you want, which is ideal for any big changes or testing you may want to make.
Another thing you never need to worry about is caching! Flywheel handles that at the server-level, so there's no need for you install caching plugins and no extra stress on your clients.
Yet another way to sell your client on this new WordPress site are the security benefits you can automatically package into your services. Flywheel offers free SSL certificates with every site, so your clients will have one less thing to worry about. And if (and that's a BIG if) anything should ever happen to the site, you have a team of experts to help clean up any malware. All this adds up to save you, as the designer and developer, tons of time and money!
"This package offers everything you need."
The easiest way to increase your rate in a way that isn't too stressful for clients is to package up all the services under one price tag and outline everything that's included. Sometimes it helps to see a larger number with a big list of all the awesome new features that are included. Explain that while the price is changing, your clients are getting so much more! Let's break this down even more.
Let's say you increase your prices by even fifteen dollars, but you outline on the bill that your clients are now getting nightly backups, almost 100% uptime, malware scanning, SSL, easy site changes, severs closer to their site visitors… Suddenly it doesn't seem like such a big price increase, huh? One the other hand, if you go through and outline what each individual feature is going to cost them each and every month, it can seem a little overwhelming. It seems like such a small thing, but paying $45 in total is easier to grasp than $30 plus a $15 separate fee. By bundling your services, everything is included and your clients aren't paying extra in their minds!
Take it a step further and resell hosting!
Reselling web hosting is a great option to offload some of the financial responsibility and workload on your plate. Download this free guide to learn how you can grow your business and set your own profit margins. It's the art of reselling hosting!
Using this opportunity to switch content management systems is a great play for your bottom line. Have any other tips for growing your web design business? Let us know in the comments below!
