Local History
Duddo (Northumberland)
Duddo parish lies in north Northumberland on the border with Scotland. It has a rich variety of archaeological sites, with numerous cropmarks, and important monuments and buildings from the prehistoric, medieval and post-medieval periods.
The earliest evidence of a human presence is the burial and ritual monuments built by Bronze Age people more than 4000 years ago. Three different burial places have been discovered here so far. Two of these were under mounds of earth and stone, called burial cairns; one had seven stone cists in it and the other had three pottery vessels buried in it. The third burial site lay inside a stone circle called Duddo Four Stones, where a cremation had been buried in a central pit. Although there must have been people living here at this time, modern agriculture has left no trace of their houses or settlements.
The Iron Age gives us the opposite picture as we get our first glimpse of the way people lived over 2500 years ago but no sign of their burials and ritual side of life. They lived in enclosures surrounded by ramparts or banks; sometimes these were defensive and placed in prominent hill top locations, but many occur in lowland areas. These were small farmsteads where an extended family group may have lived and worked and some may have continued largely unchanged into the Roman period. In the Iron Age enclosures are usually circular, or rounded, in shape such as Camp Field and Twizel Redhouse In the Roman period they become squarer such as at Cartersford Bridge. Such settlements survive as cropmarks in Duddo and are only visible from the air. Only one of them might have been built for defensive reasons, at Mill Hill where a promontory has been used to provide natural defences overlooking the River Till.
Duddo lies well north of Hadrian's Wall and there are no Roman military sites known in the parish, although the Devil's Causeway Roman road lies only a few kilometres to the east. Likewise, there is nothing known of the early medieval period in the parish.
The main settlement today is Duddo village, but this was only one of three of four villages in the parish in medieval times that belonged to the Bishop of Durham and his estate of Norhamshire. People also lived at Grindon and Felkington and another village seems to have existed at Twizell although the documentary evidence suggests it may be 16th century in date. Farming would have been the way of life of most people at this time and a series of cultivation terraces survive as earthworks just north of Duddo village.
People living in this area also had to contend with the ravages of warfare between England and Scotland in medieval times and those who could afford it built defensive towers to protect themselves. The ruins of Duddo Tower are one of the most prominent historic features in the parish, standing on crags south of the village. It was first destroyed by James IV of Scotland in 1496 but repairs meant that it continued to provide protection until the late 16th century. Other medieval tower houses were built at Grindon Rigg and Twizel, the latter being turned into a folly in the 18th century. Twizel also lay on the English army's route to the Battle of Flodden in 1513 and soldiers probably used Twizel Bridge to cross the River Till.
The 16th century saw many border skirmishes, such as the Battle of Grindon in 1558, and reivers continued to make the border regions of England and Scotland a troubled place to live into the 17th century. Those who could afford it built defended farmhouses, or bastles to protect themselves and their animals from the reivers such as at Felkington. However, these struggles had settled down by the 18th century and people began to look to a less defensive way of life and started to invest in their surroundings. At Twizel Sir Francis Blake started to build a gigantic folly and mansion house was built by Thomas Watson at Grindonrigg. Farming also began to develop more productive and innovative methods and series of fine farmhouses and planned farms were built in the 18th and 19th centuries, such as Tiptoe and Shellacres. Other industries sprang up, such as coalmining at Greenlaw Walls, and the railway age arrived in the mid-19th century with the York, Newcastle and Berwick Railway and the construction of a viaduct near St Cuthbert's Farm.

Viljandi Paalalinna Gymnasium
CAE - Computer-Assisted EnglishCAE main goals are:
- to enhance students' abilities in English and
- to use various possibilities the computer offers: word processing, the Internet, making web pages, etc.
First of all - computers in the necessary number, preferably one computer per student. Also it's important that students have the basic knowledge of a text processor and web- browser.What kind of work can be done with computers in English lessons?
The author can tell the reader about it based on the experience of teaching English one lesson per week for twelve-graders for three years in Viljandi Paalalinna Gymnasium. The assignments designed for such classes allow the students to work individually. At the beginning designing the tasks the author turned to the library of the British Council and found two books in there: Using Computers in the Language Classroom by Christopher Jones and Sue Fortescue (Longman Group UK Ltd 1987) and CALL by David hardisty and Scott Windeatt (OUP 1989). Some interesting hints were taken from these sources to compile tasks, and all the exercises used in CAE class are created by the author.What kind of assignments can be used in CAE classes?
The exercises include: shortening a text, composing a story based on given vocabulary, a translation of a translation (English-Estonian-English), fragmented sentences, a text without spaces, grammar exercises (e.g. prefixes, suffixes) etc. An immense source for different tasks including grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, and even listening is the Internet. For that purpose, an Internet web page is available at http://www.vpg.vil.ee/english.html, where teachers can find about 20 different links. Various Internet editions of newspapers can also be used in tasks as well as even the schedules of airports, bus terminals, etc.
The Internet Award Scheme 1999/2000 Europe @t SchoolOne more area of CAE is international Internet competitions, e.g. Europe @t School (at www.europe-at-school.org) where students prepare a web page on one of the given topics. This gives students the possibility to correspond with students from foreign countries and get versatile information about these regions. The theme of the competition in 1999/2000 was "Towards a citizens' Europe". After the first step - registration - the search for the partners started. The first school, which proposed the partnership to Viljandi Paalalinna Gymnasium (VPG), was from Poland, VI Liceum Ogolnoksztalcace from Katowice. A little later a school in Sliven, Bulgaria, (PMG Dobry Chintulov) sent email expressing readiness to co-operate with us. We agreed to work mainly on cultural topics and give our project the title "Europe - Our Big Home" (http:/www.vpg.vil.ee/~english/europe@school/). The third step was to choose a co-ordinator ogf the group - VPG agreed to be the leader. Our group was registred at the headquarters of the project we could start the work. First, the students exchanged letters, where they introduced themselves to their counterparts from the partner schools. Selection of their introductions was placed later on the web page. Later descriptions how people celebrate Christmas and St Valentine's Day in each partner country were added to the web site as well. Another field of discussion was a description of students' personal hero or heroine. We also decided to acquaint each other's countries as a questionnaire we sent out at the early stage of the project. Both the Polish and Bulgarian schools used only one address which belonged to the school (Poland) or was created especially for the project (Bulgaria). The Bulgarian and Polish students talked with each other via the Internet using IRC. Estonian students having their own email addresses corresponded with their associates by email. We also decided that each school would make its own web page as a part of the united title site. One school would launch it on its server later, using the materials provided by partners. VPG suggested writing short essays on three subjects:
- Are Estonians/Bulgarians/Polish people Europeans?
- The sources of Estonian/Bulgarian/Polish culture.
- Is Estonia/Bulgaria/Poland in Europe?
- European dimension of the work
- Exploration of the theme.
- Clarity of the message.
- Web-design.
- Originality and creativity.
- quite a few teams had a questionnaire to the participants of the project and the results were analysed.
- students' drawings were used as the design of the web page or independent elements.
- very often, the basic part of the project was common, not split among the participants.
- opinions and reflections were short - people (the jury) do not have time to read long stories!
- animated gif-files were frequently used as part of the design (though these might slow down opening your web page).
- native languages were used as part of the presentation.
- a special format, e.g. a magazine, a newspaper, a journal, etc. was used.
- the participants spoke about things they knew well and that really interested them - for example cookery in a project prepared by girls
- different age groups were widely involved in the work - e.g. teachers, kids, parents, etc. were invited to express their opinions.
Some closing commentsWhat is the difference between a regular English class and a CAE class?
The main distinction lies in the fact that whereas an ordinary English lesson uses varied oral, audio and written methods to teach and learn English, the CAE lesson adds to it versatile text processing available in different computing programmes plus the use of the Internet.While doing the exercises students can use CD with Festart English-Estonian-English dictionary distributed to schools by Tiger Leap Foundation.
At the end of the CAE lesson students save the results of their work on floppy disks and submit them to the teacher for assessment as any other school assignment. At the close of the course students get their final grade.What are the problems that can emerge in class?
First of all, students' computer skills may be insufficient: they may not know how to operate the computer or word processor or web-browser although that has been taught at computer courses. Another obstacle may be the teacher's lack of computer skills and lack of their courage to manage two processes at the same time - language teaching and computer instruction.What are the results of the course?
The students gain a better knowledge of the language and they also learn to use a computer as a tool.Finally, it should be emphasised that using computers in language class is not something that one should be scared of. Neither is that an objective itself. It is a normal aspect of both modern teaching and study processes. So, let us use it more frequently in our classes.

class descriptions
James Robey established RTE years ago, and it's back with Kelly Gleason! This group will study a variety of tap techniques and explore new and classic repertory, and is open to Tap Levels III-VI. Held on Sundays from 2:30 – 3:30 with Kelly Gleason. $350/Fall Semester, $350 Spring Semester.
Audition: Sunday Sept. 23, 2:30 – 3:30 pm.
The Young Dancers Program at the Conservatory is joyful, healthy, and wholesome and includes Dance for 2's & 3's (for 2 and 3-year-old students) and three progressive levels of Pre-ballet (for 4, 5, & 6-year-olds). These classes expose students to the joy of dance through movement games, creative exercises, exploration of dance styles and an introduction to movement vocabulary. Children flourish in a positive atmosphere of self-discovery while learning a curriculum that introduces the basic concepts of ballet, promotes musicality and rhythm, and instructs foundational and fundamental dance techniques.
Ballet Technique classes (for students age 7 and up) are the foundation for training at the Conservatory and focus on developing a solid ballet technique with emphasis on understanding correct body placement, proper use of turn out, coordination of the upper body (epaulement), and use of arms (port de bras). The Conservatory's unique syllabus exposes students to aspects of traditional French, Vaganova (Russian), and American techniques. Class begins with work at the barre to build strength and coordination, followed by center exercises, culminating in a grand allegro combination or variation. Clear explanations of exercises and theory help students use the ballet vocabulary in a simple, practical way that leads to increased technical understanding, healthy physical development, and lifelong enjoyment. Students 11 and older with strong ballet technique, sufficient core and ankle strength, and a teacher's recommendation go on to study 'en pointe'. Advanced students of the Ballet Program may audition for the Conservatory's pre-professional ballet company: Ridgefield Civic Ballet or our Apprentice Ballet Ensemble, geared for slightly younger dancers aspiring to Ridgefield Civic Ballet.
Modern Dance appeals to the creative, artistic soul in everyone because of its expressiveness and freedom of individuality. The Conservatory's Modern Dance classes (for students 7 and up) introduce students to elements of Graham-based tecnique including fundamental principles of contraction/release, spiral, and shift of weight. The students focus on movement from the inside out, encouraging use of breath, energy, and connection. Class begins with traditional floorwork exercised, progresses into standing work, moves to travelling phrases across the floor, and culminate in movement phrases that explore dynamic possibilities. A strong foundation technique, Graham-based modern prepares students to use breath, opposition, and strength that carries over into other disciplines. Intermediate students (levels IV & V) may audition for the Apprentice Contemporary Ensemble. Advanced students of the Modern Dance Program (Levels V & VI) may audition for the Conservatory's pre-professional company: Contemporary Dance Ensemble.
Hip Hop is a stylized form of street dance that includes uprock, breaking, popping, locking, boogaloo and the robot. Class begins with warm up exercises in the center that increase control, coordination, and rhythm, followed by dance combinations that teach dynamics, shading, phrasing, and musicality. This class includes extended rhythmic phrases and improvisation exercises. The goal is to develop expressive dancers who are equally strong as performers.
Contemporary Dance pushes boundaries fo previously learned techniques and styles and will pull from a more "pedestrian", human, and creature-like vocabulary. The intention is to break down patterns and habitual movement qualities and find newness and awareness of where the body naturally goes and how it naturally moves. This class will examine an array of styles from Modern-Contemporary to Contemp-Pop with an exploration of musicality, movement style, ynamic shifts, space, time, spinal mobility, movement initiation, physicality, floor work- identifying correct pathways fro moving in and out of the floor with alighment tohelp injury prevention, flying through space, exploratory games, and partnering work. There will be strong association with the breath to keep calmer muscles when learning new and difficult informationand to supplement the muscles when required to move with extreme physicality. There is a place in this class for every curious dancer who is interested in creativity for dnace making and dance understanding.
Jazz is a dance form that appeals to everyone because of its energy, variety, and vitality. Jazz Dance classes (which students can begin at age 7) explore contemporary and classic jazz dance, rooted in the vernacular (social dance) forms, that draws inspiration from a wide range of music including jazz, swing, blues, pop, soul and funk. As the official home of the internationally recognized Jazz Dance Technique & Syllabus by creator/author James Robey, Conservatory jazz classes begin with a warm-up to develop strength, flexibility, correct alignment and coordination, followed by progressions across the floor, and culminates in extended dance combinations. The movement explores a range of styles in both lyrical and percussive disciplines with a focus on jazz elements such as isolations, swing, and rhythm. The goal is to develop dancers who are expressive, dynamic, musical and passionate. Levels IV, V, & VI of the Jazz Dance Program may audition for the Conservatory's new Jazz Repertory Ensemble.
Tap Dance is a timeless art that combines dance and percussion. Tap dancers in musicals, movies, television, commercials, and concerts inspire us with their infectious rhythms. Tap Dance classes (for students 7 and up) explore the two traditions of rhythm tap (hoofing) and Broadway tap. Class begins with warm up exercises in the center that increase control, coordination, and rhythm, followed by across the floor exercises that teach dynamics, shading, phrasing, and musicality, concluding with extended rhythmic phrases and improvisation exercises. The goal is to develop tap dancers that are equally strong musicians, dancers, and performers.
CDE is a pre-professional company, founded in 2001, made up of advanced modern students (Level V/VI) at the Conservatory. Past performances include the Jazz Dance World Congress in Chicago, opening for the Parsons Dance Company, DanceFest 2005, 2006, & 2007 at the Rich Forum in Stamford, Dance Invitational 2006 with Battleworks Dance Company at Purchase College, Dance Invitational 2007 with Buglisi Dance Theatre, Not Another Nutcracker at the Ridgefield Playhouse, Connecticut Dance Alliance State Festival at the Bushnell Theater in Hartford, at the Arts Hall in New Haven, and various outreach performances.

Facing the Gym – Fighting Your Fears
While we all know exercise is good for us and is an important part of maintaining a healthy weight or to achieving weight loss success, often fear of feeling inept or embarrassed keeps us from going to the gym. Being fearful about going to the gym is not unique to any age group or body type, but is especially difficult for those who are obese. These preconceived fears can often be overcome with a few simple steps and leap to get started.
Familiarity trumps Fear
Fear is often caused by the unknown, so the best defense is to get to know your gym. If you are looking at joining a gym, go in for a tour and sign-up for a free week. During your week, make the best of it by asking the staff for guidance. Even if you simply observe, you will begin to learn the layout and rhythm of the gym. When you join the gym, whether getting back to the gym or adding it as a part of your post weight loss surgery plan, sign up for a few personal trainer sessions so you can learn how to use and get the most of the machines available. Knowing what you're doing will help you to feel more comfortable and confident. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask the staff, they are there to help and make your experience a positive one.
Face your fears with a friend
Facing your fears is always easier with a friend by your side. Consider finding a gym buddy who will make entering the gym easier, challenge your workouts and keep you accountable for coming back! Try going to the gym during off-peak hours if you can; the gym will be less busy allowing you to focus on your workout, try out new equipment while feeling less self-conscious.
The gym is busy and you need a confidence booster? Try plugging in to your favourite upbeat music as studies show music increases motivation and focus during a workout.
Gym Etiquette
Every gym has them, the people who are messy, hog machines, talk on their cell phones or make lots of noise. Avoid being labeled as a 'slob, hog, space invader, or super-talker' at the gym by following simple fitness club etiquette – be clean, considerate and cheerful. Ultimately, if you follow those three simple rules you will be a positive addition to your club and hopefully others will treat you in the same manner.
Commit to it
Set out what you plan to do at the gym before you get there and stick to it. Knowing your goals ahead of time can help you accomplish them and stick to them for the long term. This is especially important for those who are overweight or have undergone weight loss surgery such as gastric bypass surgery or gastric band surgery. The exercise will help with both the weight loss and muscle toning.
Finally, don't be afraid to sweat! You are not there to look great, you are there to make yourself feel great and part of that requires sweating.
Taking that first step to go to the gym, especially if you are overweight, can be a difficult one. It can be a scary step to go outside your comfort zone. By following these steps and tips you can add working out at the gym as a part of your regular routine. Once you do, you'll become addicted and love the effect it has on you and even enjoy going regularly. That first step is even more difficult if you are obese, making it difficult to exercise and therefore difficult to lose weight. For some people, weight loss surgery, such as gastric band surgery or gastric bypass surgery can get you on the right path to losing weight. The quick weight loss and health benefits of weight loss surgery mean that you will be able to become more active more quickly.

What is your favourite thing about AA? - The people. Everyone has been really helpful and no question has been too big for anyone. A great team!
What is your favourite film? - It's got to be said – Flubber. I just found it hilarious when I was a kid and any film with Robin Williams is great!
What is your favourite TV show? - The Chase – Although I am terrible when trying to answer the questions under the timer, I like to compete against myself and see how much money I would take back to the team and potentially take home (we can always dream). I think the most I have taken back to the team is 10K – So maybe I wouldn't be that bad to have on the team!
What is your favourite food? - Indian- you can't beat a good curry. Sucker for a Korma (although some people tell me I can't class that as a curry!) I do love a Bhuna too!
If you won the lottery, what is the first thing you'd do? - Firstly, I would get straight on the phone and make sure it was definitely true! After that, I would start planning that trip around the world that I'm dreaming of!
Tell us a fun fact about yourself? - I once served Prince Harry at a restaurant in Leeds. Didn't recognise him until after he left, when management were looking on the CCTV – Oops!
How would you rate your brew making skills out of ten? - 8 – Always room for improvement. Sally Pullan didn't say it was a bad cuppa when I made her a tea and I'm sure she was the first person I made a brew!

Tu Bishevat. Doing Something About It.
I consider myself an environmentalist. I write about the earth, think about the earth, care about the earth. I wrote my rabbinical thesis partly on Judaism and the environment, and I helped found en environmental advocacy committee in my synagogue. I believe that rethinking our relationship to the earth is THE great challenge and THE most important task of our generation.
So I was sorely disappointed in myself recently when I realized that I'm not actually doing much for the environment. Sure, my favorite pastime is walking around the house turning off lights that the kids have left on, but that's mostly a money-saving activity. I drive a gas car (albeit a pretty small one); I use the A/C and heat a little more than I probably should; I don't compost; I'm usually too lazy to unplug appliances at night; and I am a terrible gardener.
I don't want to be an environmentalist only in name. So this summer, we are doing something about it. We are joining a CSA – a Community Supported Agriculture program. It's a small step, but it's something. I am proud to say that Temple Beth El will be sponsoring this program for the first time this year, and that it will allow local Charlotteans to eat local Charlottean produce for 16 weeks of the summer. The pickup is at Shalom Park, so it's convenient. (Charlotteans, let me know if you're interested and I'll get you details. It's filling up quickly!)
I'm excited about this for two reasons. First, because it's a tangible effort to do something green. Second, because it will – I hope – increase the variety of produce that our family eats, and force us to be creative with our cooking in a way that is in concert with the earth's natural cycles. I like the idea of eating local, seasonal vegetables – not only because of the carbon footprint issue, but because I like the idea of being a little more aware of where my food comes from, and of my relationship to the earth.
This Shabbat is Tu Bishevat, the Jewish "New Year of the Trees." Although it is often celebrated as a Kabbalistic festival, it is also a powerful reminder that Judaism is – at its core- an agricultural way of life. Our ancestors were farmers, and all of our holidays are agricultural in their origins. (Before Pesach celebrated the Exodus from Egypt, it was the beginning of the Spring harvest season.) In our ancient agrarian society, Tu Bishevat was the day in which you began to count the new year for purposes of tithing of fruits; that's why the trees need a New Year.
Nowadays most of us don't grow anything, and we don't really even know where our food comes from. That's a tragedy. I'm as guilty as the next guy, and this CSA isn't really going to change that very much. But maybe it will push me in the right direction.
Now I just have to get myself to turn off those darned appliances …
What are you doing for the earth?

Definitely interested in this!

That's great that you're joining a CSA. We're planning on doing the same, just trying to pick which one. Buying local is key to so many issues. First, it drastically reduces the carbon footprint. And yes, we can now know where our food comes from. And from that, most importantly, we're contributing to our local community. Employing people and interacting. Strengthening our local ties as we become Global. One way to make us more recession proof and create a more robust community is to consume locally, from people we can interact with.

i planted two trees today and i recycle lots

Micah, first off, congrats for having this post published in the RAC's (Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism) RSS feed. I was so excited to see my favorite rabbi's thoughts blasted out to socially-conscious Jews all across the country.
Second, as Ben mentioned above, we too are planning on joining a CSA this summer. We've made a real effort over the last few months to eat as locally as we can in order to curb carbon emissions, support our local economy, and be more aware of where our nourishment comes from. Unfortunately we have been unable to go all-local because we're unable to find enough local produce in our grocery stores to sustain us throughout the winter. We were starting to eat less and less fruit and vegetable to maintain our efforts to eat locally, until the point we were concerned about our diets. Plus, you can only eat so much squash, potatoes, cabbage, and apples until you can't take it anymore. Now, we're trying to eat as local as we can–local milk and cheese and produce from as close as we can get (no California and certainly no imports from other countries. We also eat meat very, very infrequently because of the huge negative impact raising livestock has on the environment.
Another problem we face is that most, if not all, of our non-produce groceries are processed foods that are shipped in from all over the country – cereal, granola bars, pastas, olive oil, etc. It's almost impossible to find these kinds of foods produced locally. We do try to reduce our non-local processed foods (eat less chips/pretzels/crackers, make our own granola, eat bulk oameal instead of cereal, etc), but we still need to purchase these kinds of foods for our diets.
mikesereca, maybe that helps point out some of the reasons why people have trouble "going green." That's not to say that we shouldn't all be making an effort, but with the way our society and economy have developed, it's sometimes difficult or impossible to change your lifestyle. But, kudos to everyone for being aware of the environment, thinking about our earth from a Jewish perspective, and making as much effort to respect the planet as we can.

If you've never been to the Botanic Gardens before, this restaurant may be hard to find. Thankfully, they have large maps at each entrance that tell you where you are, and where the restaurant is. With such beautiful surroundings, having a fine dining restaurant within the gardens just makes perfect sense.
The place itself specialises in modern Australian cuisine. The decor is more traditional, however the comfortable seating and the white table cloths give the place a touch of elegance. As you would expect from this type of establishment, the service was exceptional. With plenty of staff on hand, cloth napkins were placed on our laps, drinks were served promptly, and plates were cleared as we finished our meals.
We came here as a group for lunch with a Festival of Food voucher. For $31.50, we each received entrees, a main of our choice and a small dessert. The meals started coming out 15 minutes after ordering, and the timing between meals was perfect.
GRILLED SCALLOP – The scallop was soft and cooked perfectly. The fish roe and the mashed potato didn't do much for the dish and were there for display.
TWICE COOKED POLENTA SOUFFLE – This looked like a scone, but one made from polenta. The exterior was nice and firm, while the inside was light and airy. Just like a scone, it tasted a bit bland by itself, but it was still pretty good.
CONFIT RABBIT ROTOLO – This was the first time I've actually eaten rabbit. The meat was minced and mixed with herbs, so I couldn't really tell what it should have tasted like. I could say it tastes like chicken, but doesn't everything? The cured meat wrapped around the rabbit gave the dish more balance.
LAMB RUMP – The meat was lean, succulent and tender. The meat was perfectly cooked. The mashed up eggplant was kind of bland and was there purely for display purposes. The vegetables were nice and soft, and the sauce was delicious!
CRISPY FRIED POTATOES – These were sliced potatoes, drizzled with olive oil and then shoved into the oven. It came with a watered down capsicum infused dip which was an interesting touch.
SALTED CARAMEL POPCORN TART – The chocolate used in this tart was from Haigh's, so it was good to see local products used. The popcorn was hard as expected and the tart was nice and firm. Not a bad treat at the end of the meal.
I think this place is perfect for that special occasion. The atmosphere is relaxed and the food is of the highest quality. We came here with a voucher which made prices more palatable, otherwise, bring plenty of money. I love this place!

Tis the season to be gruesome?
The competition among neighbors for the most horrific Halloween decorations may have reached new heights in Waretown, NJ, reports the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC]. One family in that town created a scene depicting a gruesome car crash in the side yard of their home and it has the town abuzz. Some like it, some don't. One thing's for sure: it is pretty scary.
The scene includes a body pinned between the car and a tree, replete with oodles of blood. A few feet away lies another fake bloody body. It looks so real that neighbors called the cops.
It upset some of the neighbors, but one enterprising local business owner liked it so much that he asked the owners of the home if he could regale one of the "victims" with a sweat shirt advertising his wares.
Bare-knuckle logging
Bare-knuckle boxing is illegal in most places, but an Australian he-man recently made the top of the news cycle when he felled a tree with his bare knuckles, according to the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC]. He took off his gloves and pounded the trunk of the tree with his bare fists until the tree could take no more and toppled over. He retired in triumph with his head held high and his knuckles awash in blood. Admirers shot video to memorialize the feat but others on the scene simply called him a knucklehead.
Growing old in America
It used to be that turning 100 years of age was a big deal. Not so anymore, says the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC]. Take Lucy Treccasse who turned 112 recently and celebrated her birthday with family and friends and a half bottle of beer. But, alas, she holds no records, as such. She's only the eighth oldest person in the U.S. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control says that there are more than 72,000 American centenarians today compared with a little more than 50,000 in the year 2000.

8 rules for friends with benefits for single moms
Maybe you just want sex. Or a fun connection, a physical relationship—but none of the baggage of a full-on relationship.
Maybe you're enjoying something really great, but not sure how to define it.
Maybe a FWB is right for you.
What does 'friends with benefits' mean?
I'm not fond of the term "friends with benefits." I prefer, "Someone I'm sleeping with," or "a lover."
My terminology suggests what people have been doing since God created penises and vaginas: Enjoying each other sexually and romantically without any social commitments. When all parties are evolved adults, it can be a very satisfying arrangement. But it is rarely without its complications.
There are pros and cons of a friends-with-benefits relationship. But, lots and lots of pros.
9 reasons dating and sex are better as a single mom
To keep weirdness and heartbreak at bay, enjoy all the pros of such an arrangement, play by these rules:
Rules for friends with benefits
1. Understand what a lover is.
A friend with benefits, or a lover, by definition, is not your boyfriend or a possible husband. He is a lover. Your arrangement is between the two of you, for mutual enjoyment — whether physical, intellectual, emotional or all of the above. It is not a public relationship. Read this to learn how to find a boyfriend or husband.
2. Your kids, friends and family do not meet your FWB.
He is not a social media connection or mention. See above.
3. No sneaking men into the house when your kids are asleep.
Your kids are not morons. They hear weird noises in the night, sense a change in their home, feel your little and big lies. That teaches children to distrust their own instincts and feel unsafe in their own home.
4. A friend-with-benefits is not your support system.
Don't call him when your refrigerator breaks or you have a bad day at work. That is a boyfriend. That is not this guy.
5. Relationship rules do not apply to a FWB.
Texting the next day and remembering birthdays are not the domain of an affair. Nor is monogamy. You are not entitled to get pissy if these things do not transpire.
6. Have fun.
This is supposed to be a delightful arrangement. When it becomes abusive or tormented, get out.
7. Accept your friends with benefits relationship for what it is.
A lover is not someone you are trying to manipulate into a serious relationship. You mutually chose this arrangement because of any number of reasons: you have sexual chemistry but do not fit into one another's lives. Or,. you need one another's companionship but are both otherwise not interested in a serious commitment.
8. Just hooking up? Leave the door open to more.
This is something that you do within yourself (i.e. do not discuss it with him). But reasons to have a friend with benefits is that you do not have the emotional bandwidth to devote to another person, you are terrified of commitment, or one of you is otherwise entangled in another romantic situation. But people change. Life changes. Time and place have a way of doing a number on us. Be open to the possibility that you and this man could be more.
Because, yes: Guys who are friends with benefits develop feelings. Women, too.
Also: A friends-with-benefits relationship can last forever, beautiful in its entirety, exactly as-is.

How to get a friend with benefits
How do you look for a lover when you don't know what you want?
Last time I was dating more than 10 years ago, what I was looking for in a man was clear: the bazillion specifics and intangibles that would make a good husband and father.The list is roughly the same this time around, but the end game is not as obvious.
My kids and I have a great little thing going, and the thought of meshing my daily life with another adult seems potentially rife with disaster. After all, anyone who has been married can tell you that it's the tiny travesties of dirty socks on the floor, improperly loaded dishwashers and wayward toothpaste caps that peck away at the majestic Redwood of romance. Before long all that is left is a wee toothpick of what may indeed be love, but one that could not prop up a tent made of Kleenex. Add to it the thought of various children, exes and emotional baggage and I come close to blacking out, closing out my OKCupid profile, and strapping on my chastity belt.
If a new husband is on your agenda, I suggest avoiding statistics on divorce rates for second marriages, and if you stumble upon figures for unions involving kids from previous relationships, avert your eyes. Sure, cohabitation is a natural step in a relationship, but could it ever work for me? What about co-parenting? Why not find something between miserable solitude and the Brady Bunch?
My most recent relationship was a big one for me, and my SMILF BFF can't understand why it didn't work out – especially when I share my reluctance to have a full-time, live-in lover. Larry and I had a great thing going. Like me, he's divorced, a writer, and a smartass. He's also a great dad, even though his kids are now college-age and he lives alone in a beautiful brownstone apartment in one of the city's prettiest neighborhoods, about an hour away.
We had a routine that was made up of two distinct parts: once a week he'd spend an evening at my place with my kids. I'd cook dinner, and he'd toss them around the living room, read them Dr. Seuss and go along with the little projects kids often dream up. Once I found Helena and him – crayon in hand — drawing clothes on a piece of a paper, cutting them out with plastic scissors and taping them on her Barbie.
I loved seeing Larry with the kids – he clearly adored them, they him, and Larry and I were in love. Everyone loved everyone, but then it ended. Even though I never said it, I wanted more, and he couldn't sign on to being a father figure to little kids again. But did I really want more? Or did I just want him to want more? Did I need him to beg to thrust himself into my life to prove his commitment? He was totally committed to me, he'd often say. And he was committed – this man loved and adored me in ways no one else ever has. If I made a list of all the things I'd hope someone would appreciate me, he had it covered – including my qualities as a mom.
But I think the parts of me that he appreciated most were those on display in the second part of our relationship – the weekends when my kids were with their dad and it was just the two of us. His brick-walled apartment was like our private getaway as we'd talk for hours over dinner at nearby bistros, spend long mornings in bed after which he'd make coffee and run out for fresh bagels. Things people do when they don't have kids. And for 24 hours on the weekend, that is indeed who I was.
But the rest of the time I am a very full-time mom to two tiny children who need a whole lot of me. This is my life. I am my life. And I love my life more than I ever imagined I would. To be with me means being part of this life – doesn't it?
Or can it be something else?
I recently heard from a single mom who was feeling down and lonely and dismayed by her dating prospects. "I want something just for me," she said. She couldn't yet fathom incorporating a man into her family life. But she is a woman who needs to be with a man. So am I. How can I make that work?
Of course, this can't be all about me. What Larry didn't say but what I sensed was that he wanted more, too. He's an adult with hobbies and friends but when we were dating he spent a lot of time watching cable and talking on the phone with me. He was welcome to spend more time at my home, but he didn't come. Instead, he waited patiently for the times we could be alone. Those were times I waited for, too.
Over the past couple of years I've written about all the fun I've had dating. I also wrote about a heartbreak or two. And a couple times I've found myself in relationships. For me, dating is simple. Sex is a carefree frolic on a spring day in the Alps. Relationships? Another story:
In bed I'm accepting. You're nervous? Maybe worry you're a little tubby around the waist? Quicker or slower or softer than you think things out to be? It's all good. You're human! I'm human! Let's enjoy ourselves.
In relationships? I'm critical. If you have shitty table manners or talk too much about your years and years (and years and years) of therapy, your presence evokes impulses to shove the cloth napkin way, way, way down my own throat right there in the osteria, using the table knife to effectively lodge the linen in my esophagus and take me to the sweet release of the white light.
In bed I am patient. There is something — something delightful, wonderful, actually — about the process. Exploration and learning each other. The slow build and ever-promise of discovery.
Out of the sack? I'm inpatient. What's the rush, you ask? Not sure. I feel vulnerable — insecure, I admit — if I am not confident in your feelings, like, yesterday.
When it comes to sex I don't judge your history. You and your ex never did it? More pent-up lovin' for me! Things were rote in your last relationship? Just a poor match — let's kick it.
In dating, I revert to the maxim: people don't change. Your behavior over the past 40 years is a great indicator of how you will moving forward. Fooled around on your wife — and every other woman you've dated? I accept that is who you are. All your girlfriends complained you weren't romantic or attentive? I'm not going to be the exception.
In bed I have no issues asking for what I want. Or giving what you want, for that matter. The pleasure is really is all about the giving, and allowing to be given to.
In relationships, I can be passive-aggressive. I don't try to be. It's not that I set out to play games. No. It is just that when I'm annoyed or irritated or hurt or devastated I usually don't trust those feelings. I tell myself that I am wrong and that my judgement is off. So I don't express how I feel. But those feelings come out anyway, because that is what feelings do (that is what my therapist said, anyway).
Sex is fun and uncomplicated for me. Once in a while you stumble upon an outlier — someone really selfish or way too freaky for the general population. Otherwise, an occasional unilateral orgasm is totally fine. Sometimes a person is just exhausted and can't keep up with the other tonight. I'll get you next time — or trust you will get me.
Relationships do a number on me. Here goes: I tend towards anxious when I'm dating someone seriously. Worried I'm committing to the wrong person. Worried I like him more than he likes me. Concerned that somehow this one, too, is barreling down the road towards yet another heartbreak. No matter how wrong I know it is, I'll keep score. Have at the mental ready all the thoughtful things I've done for you in the past month, or ways I showed I cared — and a long, long list of the slights and inconsiderations you've inflicted on me.
I'm clear that I need sex. In the past couple of years I've come to accept regular sex as a basic human need — right up there with exercise and love. Relationships? I'm can be super-lonely when I'm not in one. But when I am, I start singing the same blues that everyone does about how hard they are. And then when I really start to sing the blues, I'll call him. And initiate the not-so hard part.
Friends with benefits FAQ
Let's get down to business. Need a friend with benefits? Here is what you need to know.
Where to find a friend with benefits?
Start with online dating sites. Here is the list of the best dating sites for single moms and dads, and where to get your needs met.
Of course, you might meet men at work, through friends, in your neighborhood, or on the subway (happened to me — super-hot Eastern European guy chatted me up on the downtown N where we started kissing and wound up dry humping against a pillar at the Harold Square station —in the middle of a weekday.)
Single dads can be a great addition to your schedule. Here is how to find, meet and date single dads.
At this stage of life I have been surprised to have several experiences with younger men — extremely attractive (no question objectively better looking than me), successful, charming guys who were surprisingly way, way into me. This post explains why young, hot guys dig older moms.
How to ask a guy to be friends with benefits
First, sleep with him. Make sure that you will get your needs met (because otherwise what's the point). Get a sense of whether it is satisfying for him, too.
Also, do you get the sense he wants more — a commitment, exclusivity, a full-life relationship? Any other needs that you cannot meet? Think twice about whether this guy is the right casual partner.
Then, be really honest. Some scripts:
"The sex is so hot. I want more! But can we have an honest conversation? I'm not interested in a boyfriend situation. This will have to be casual, and open. Would that work for you?"
How to end a friends with benefits situation
Again, be honest. Be kind, but direct. Just because there was no explicit commitment doesn't mean you are allowed to ghost him. Say:
"This has been so lovely, but I am ready for a serious relationship, so I'm pursuing that with someone else / this has come to an end for me / the connection isn't romantic for me any more."
Do friends with benefits work?
Friends with benefits are just like any human relationship: It is can be beautiful and perfect until it's not. The key is to set boundaries, communicate, and be realistic.
How long does a friends with benefits arrangement usually last?
FWB can last a lifetime, for one evening, or anywhere in between. If you are hoping that a casual lover will become more, or worry that your buddy will take off, maybe you are catching the feels. TOTALLY NORMAL AND HEALTHY! Just check yourself, communicate your needs, and respect the relationship for what it is.
What does friends with benefits mean to a guy?
PSA: Both men and women have physical, sexual, romantic, intellectual, emotional and social needs. Men have been socialized to be more open to casual sexual relationships, but also fall in love, appreciate connection, commitment, monogamy and devotion — just like women.
Friends with benefits can be elegant and beautiful, or messy and dramatic, just like a long-term, monogamous marriage. In other words: If you want a simple formula for a romantic or sexual relationship, good luck!
How do you tell if your friend with benefits wants more?
I thought this passage in the short-story "Visitor" by Bryan Washington, was a very sweet yet direct way to address a want for a more serious relationship with his lover:
Later that night, at his place, Joel asked me what we were doing.
We stood barefoot in his kitchen, hunched over his counter, kneading dough. Immediately after fucking, I'd mentioned, offhand, that something sweet wouldn't be a bad idea, and Joel had gone over to the pantry. Now he patted and stirred while I massaged. We dropped globs of sugary dough into the fryer beside us.
Cooking, I said.
I think, Joel said, that we're doing more than that. And I think that you know it. And I think that we should talk about that.
We're talking now, I said.
When Joel went silent, I looked up. The sizzling beside us was all I could hear.
I feel pretty good about you, he said, sighing. All things considered.
Noted, I said.
And I'd like to know if you feel the same. It would mean a lot to me to know that.
But what if I don't feel what you feel, I asked.
Then nothing changes, Joel said. Except that I'd know.
O.K., I said, and what if I do?
Then I don't know, Joel said. But you have to say it. I can't know unless you tell me.
Neither of us said anything to that, until we noticed that the batter was smoking. We lifted three sweet pancakes from the pan to a bowl, and Joel immediately tossed one into his mouth—but not before tearing off a piece for me.
It burned me. It was delicious. We both reached for another.
Can friends with benefits fall in love?
100%, every day. Happened to me a few times. xoxo
Happy loving, ladies!

This is one of your most interesting posts. I adore it because it states so clearly and non-judgmentally one of the realities of life as a single mom, or a single woman in general. Dating is not like it was ten years ago. Often your goals around dating are entirely different. I'm not looking for a father for my children; I'm not looking for someone to take care of me, at least financially. (I don't think I ever have – at least consciously- been looking for that.) Sometimes you can not find all of the things you want and desire in one person. I appreciate that you specify that a lover can be someone that you share other sorts of intimacies with, such as intellectual and emotional. I have to say that Europeans seem to have a healthier understanding of this concept than we Americans do. Sure, there is always room to be hurt in any sort of encounter where you make yourself vulnerable, but keeping the above in mind certainly helps to cushion some of the pain.
I really needed a reminder of the definition "person I am sleeping with"…yes he is not a boyfriend. Something so simple can be so complicated and happy to have read this couple of times to remember what my current "friend with benefits" situation really is…
You are an amazing voice of reason!!!!! Thank you!
LMAO: "or one of you is otherwise entangled in another romantic situation. ". So this FWB situation is supposed to also be cool for a single mom if she's managed to entangle a Poindexter in her life: got him paying for all the dates, got him thinking he and single mommy might make a good "team", got Poindy buying a bigger house and bigger car than he needs to accomodate she and her brood because she's suckered him into believing in the fantasy of loving a single mom and her kids? Cause that's how I'm reading it.
Don't get me wrong. I'm completely cool with FWB, and have enjoyed the fruits of such, usually until she "wanted more". However, I do aim not to find a woman who is "entangled" with a boyfriend, and especially a husband. I aim to have some type of integrity, albeit most of the single moms I've dated don't know what "integrity" means.
Ok, yup. I was totally on board with all the points in this until "or one of you is otherwise entangled in another romantic situation". That sentence should have been left out, in my opinion. For obvious reasons…like that's a a-hole thing to do. Done, I'm not wasting my time discussing this.

Heidelberg Prinect MetaShooter 4.5 | 0,95 gb
Prinect MetaShooter
For many companies in the print media industry today, working with CtP imagesetters is an excellent means of optimizing their profitability. But how can Heidelberg CtP and CtF devices be integrated into existing and future workflows? And how do you avoid costly and time-consuming conversion of established production processes? Prinect MetaShooter from Heidelberg is a made-to-measure solution that provides the user with a whole range of benefits.
Integration into the Prinect workflow, open systems, optimized flexibility and absolute data security make this software a future-focused investment. Prinect MetaShooter uses the reliable TIFF-B data format, the format used for storing the imposed and screened sheet. TIFF-B works like a digital film, thereby ensuring absolute data security and maximum reliability.
One of the key benefits of Prinect MetaShooter is its significantly enhanced performance in the prepress process. While Prinect MetaDimension is able to generate any number of bitmaps when disengaged from the imaging unit, Prinect MetaShooter can output the TIFF-B bitmaps generated by the RIP to the connected recorders. Advantages include better utilization of resources and enhanced plate coordination.
