Meridien Interiors introduces rust into a kitchen design in Colehill, Wimborne, Dorset
For this contemporary kitchen in Colehill, Meridien Interiors combined two very different door finishes to create a truly unique and super sleek design.
A stunning rust coloured, textured handleless door from First Impressions was teamed with a Matt Cashmere handleless door from Second Nature's Porter range for a warm, and uniquely different look.
The rust door was used to create a bank of tall units incorporating a larder cupboard, and Caple Sense appliances including an integrated fridge/freezer, black glass multifunction oven, built in Microwave combi oven & grill and a warming drawer.
Dark graphite finished aluminium recess handles and a Caple graphite undermount sink add to the drama of this design and complement the black glass appliances, black induction hob and angled extractor and the 20mm black granite worktop.
The cashmere island was finished with a white quartz worksurface and included accent lighting under the worktop edges to highlight the handle recess. Under cupboard lighting was also included in this design as were space saving plinth heaters.
Meridien Interiors offers a bespoke design service for private clients as well as developers. Kitchens can be purchased on a supply only basis or a supply and fit basis, depending on a client's individual requirements.

English and community languages teachers attending the 14th National CLESOL Conference in Wellington this weekend will call on the government to develop a New Zealand languages policy "as a matter of urgency".
The conference at Rutherford House in Wellington from July 10-13 brings together community language teachers who work to maintain the first languages of migrant and refugee groups settled in New Zealand, and English (ESOL) teachers who work with speakers of other languages in all sectors of education.
TESOLANZ president Dr Hilary Smith says the changing ethnic make-up of New Zealand means all political parties need to make language teaching a key priority.
She says that although there are now over 160 different languages spoken in New Zealand and Auckland is one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world, we still don't have a languages policy to support the complex and diverse needs of people who speak English as a second language.
"The language profile of New Zealand is changing rapidly, and without good policy and planning to cater for the diverse language needs of a significant number of residents we run the risk that many will not participate fully in our society, or reach their potential.
"Acquiring language fluency is a significant barrier to people getting jobs, understanding the system, getting a basic education and connecting with the community.
"We need to increase our competency in other languages to trade and do business in an increasingly complex world - especially now English is not the first language of many of our major trading partners.
"We also need to see the existing language skills of new migrants as an asset - not an impediment - to their learning," she says.
Dr Smith says TESOLANZ supports the Royal Society and the Human Rights Commission who have both called for a national languages policy focusing on: Te Reo MÄori and New Zealand Sign Language; Pasifika languages especially Cook Islands MÄori, Niuean and Tokealuan; other community and heritage languages; and English language.
"Future policy initiatives must be based on good evidence from high quality local and international research," she says.
"A strong body of international evidence now shows that children who have a good founda- tion in their first language have better outcomes in all subjects, including English. This means it's important for teachers to understand how to support children's learning in and of their first languages.
"If we make sure our migrant children are confident in both languages, this benefits them individually as well as the wider society. In some cases it will also have a direct economic future benefit, by enabling them to work confidently across two or more cultures."
Dr Smith says the "I'm not good at languages" mentality is now a luxury for people in English language speaking countries which is not shared by the rest of the world, and increasingly we are missing out on the social and economic benefits that an understanding of other languages brings.
Over 350 community language and ESOL teachers and researchers are expected to attend the conference, hosted by TESOLANZ in association with CLANZ (the Community Languages Association of New Zealand).

Tucked away in the Blue Ridge mountains is a small town that brings a bit of Bavaria to the southern US: Helen, Georgia. Nestled along the Chattahoochee River, this small town with a population of under 500 residents attracts the third largest number of visitors to any city in the state. This is in part because Helen is unlike any other town: the charming colorful buildings and the cobblestone paths make it a delightful replica of a Bavarian village. Travelers can visit the 200 specialty shops featuring handmade goods, feast upon delicious Alpine-inspired and southern cuisine, and sip on local wine at a vineyard. Helen is surrounded by beautiful natural features like the Unicoi State Park and the many nearby waterfalls. Here are ten of the best vacation rentals in and around Helen that make it easy to get a taste of Germany on this side of the Atlantic.
1. A German-inspired townhouse with mountain views (from 119 USD)
If you truly want to make your visit to Helen feel as Bavarian as possible, this adorable town home is for you. The building is decorated in a Tudor style that makes it look straight out of a storybook. Though it is located only a five minute walk from downtown Helen, and you can see the lights of the town from the front windows, the view of the north Georgia mountains from the back deck makes you feel like you are peacefully secluded. The inside of the house is just as charming as its exterior, with plush red couches, rustic wooden furniture, and cabin-themed accents. There are one and a half bathrooms as well as a fully functioning kitchen. The hosts have also provided all of the amenities you will need to feel at home. It is a perfect spot to be close to Helen and all that it has to offer.

Price: from 119 USD

2. A riverside condo close to town (from 131 USD)
This one bedroom condo is the ideal rental for a couple or a solo traveler. The location of the building is right alongside the water, giving you easy access to boating and fishing, and makes sitting out on the deck in the evening even more relaxing. Inside the condo has a fully stocked kitchen and a bathroom with a jacuzzi style tub. It's an easy walk to downtown Helen, making this the perfect place to book for the Oktoberfest. Running from September until October, this festival includes traditional food, music, beer, and dancing. However, be sure to book your visit in advance, as it is one of Helen's biggest draws!

3. A townhouse with a picture perfect sunroom! (from 121 USD)
The Reihenhaus is so lovely, you may not even want to leave to take the short walk to Helen. The rental has both a screened in porch and a gorgeous wood-paneled sunroom, two perfect spots to peer out over the rolling hills and listen to the river nearby. It's a great accommodation for all four seasons: inside you will find an electric fireplace for winter, and outside you can float down the Chattahoochee River on an inner tube during the summer. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking meals, and there are two full bathrooms and two bedrooms which can accommodate up to four guests. This is the kind of rental you will never want to leave!

4. A quiet cabin on the river (from 138 USD)
This rental cabin has the perfect balance between isolation and proximity to all that Helen has to offer. One look at the pictures and it looks like it is completely rustic: the river is right outside the back deck. However, a short stroll will bring you right into downtown Helen where you can eat delicious Alpine cuisine and explore the town's many unique stores. This rental is managed directly by the cabin owners, who have taken it upon themselves to anticipate all their guests' needs. The home is beautifully decorated, with a large kitchen, plenty of natural light, and even a jacuzzi outside. The hosts have provided all the kitchen equipment you will need and make themselves available for any questions. One bonus of the location is that it is nearby one of the launch points during the annual balloon festival!

5. An authentic log cabin experience! (from 116 USD)
If you were to look up the word "cabin" in a visual dictionary, you might find a picture of the Sautee Nacoochee Cabin rental. Made of real wooden logs with a stone base, this cabin is ideally suited to your wilderness fantasies. Don't let the rustic exterior fool you: the inside of the cabin has a gorgeous mix of rustic sophistication. Wood paneled walls and plaid quilts are coupled with modern appliances. A gas fireplace in the living room is the perfect place to warm up inside, and there is also a fire pit outside perfect for making s'mores. Nearby you will find a natural spring, a wooden bridge, and Ruby Falls. This cozy hideaway is located five miles (8 km) from downtown Helen, giving you the option to explore the activities in town or relax in the tranquility of the woods.

6. A secluded spot to get away from it all (from 115 USD)
If you're willing to expand your search for lodging into the surrounding area near Helena, this lovely cabin is located less than forty-five minutes by driving. Located on the banks of the Chestatee River, it is miles from the nearest town, giving you a truly secluded location. However, it is still close enough to everything that northern Georgia has to offer: local wineries, nature hikes, and cute historic locations like the gold mining town of Dahlonega. It sleeps up to seven people in two bedrooms, making it a nice option for a gathering for family or friends. Despite its rural location, guests will not be for want of anything. The kitchen is fully equipped and only awaits your grocery purchases to make delicious meals. The decor is tasteful and cozy. There are also three outdoor sitting areas perfect for listening to the birds and watching the river roll along.

Price: from 115 USD
Number of Guests: 7
7. An affordable cabin in Hiawassee, GA (from 102 USD)
About thirty minutes north of Helen, you'll find this picturesque cabin in Hiawassee, Georgia. Surrounded by national forest, you are not far from Brasstown Bald, the highest mountain in the state. Drive to the top or, if you're ambitious, hike to the summit to see for miles around the Blue Ridge mountains. There are plenty of other things to see in the area too, like the Appalachian Trail, Nantahala Gorge for kayaking, and the Babyland General Hospital toy store, where Cabbage Patch Dolls originated. This cabin sleeps up to four people in two bedrooms all on the first floor with no stairs. The interior has high ceilings, a stone fireplace, and a screened in porch and outdoor deck. The elevation makes this spot idyllic in all seasons, but it's especially beautiful for foliage in the fall.

8. A cottage with adorable rustic decor! (from 89 USD)
For an affordable location close to Helen, check out the Bear Paw Cottage. The inviting red front door leads you into a cozy setting with wood paneled walls, a stone fireplace, and a small kitchenette. The Bear Paw sleeps up to four people: two downstairs in the king bed, and two in the sleeping loft in a double bed. They will also consider pets if you want to bring your furry friends along. The outside of the cottage is just as lovely as the interior, with a jacuzzi right outside your front door as well as a porch swing. The hosts have also provided a charcoal grill and picnic area to make the experience even more enjoyable.

9. The perfect spot to start (and end!) a hike (from 117 USD)
The name of this rental says it all: if hiking is your thing, this is the place for you. Located near the closest access to the Adirondack trail, it's the perfect place to stop by for a night before or after your hike. You can reach the trail by either driving to Dick's Creek or hiking down the road in front of the cabin, which will bring you to Tom Cowart Gap. If you're not a hiker, this cute red cabin is still a lovely option for those who want to stay out in nature. It is located in a secluded spot in the national park near a rushing stream. Enjoy listening to the water and the birds from the fire pit, swing, or on one of the cabin's two decks or the upstairs screened in porch. Up to seven people can sleep in the cabin's three bedrooms, making it the ideal getaway for a group. There are also two full bathrooms, air conditioning, and a television so you can enjoy this rustic setting with all the comforts of home.

Making the first comment....ReplyDelete
What I always love about your quilts is knowing the back-story. It's so interesting to learn why you chose specific fabrics, colors, designs, etc. It's the process that makes your quilts come alive for me. Unfortunately, the quilt show reviewers don't get that peek into the quilter's soul that makes your quilts sing. Too bad for them!ReplyDelete
...."at least I tried." Inspiring words to allow to sink in as we all try to break out of boxes to play with color, texture and shape!! I love how you share your work and your process on Quilty Folk! Thank you!ReplyDelete
I love your style. You are right. You do have a generous following so there is an audience for your quilt style. I appreciate your (slight) disappointment. It would have been a nice thing to be in the show. Don't stop making your quilts. You are a rockstar to me!ReplyDelete
Your quilts are different than the norm. That's what makes them totally appealing to me. I enjoy watching them "become". Your explanations are inspiring. I agree with the above (as do probably many): Don't stop making your quilts -- as if you could, right?ReplyDelete
I now share my quilts only in non- juried events -- my hope is they will speak to or inspire viewers without the politics of being judged. Good for you for trying!!ReplyDelete
Good on you for trying! I find your quilts very appealing, and I love all the stories that go along with them!ReplyDelete
I think you succeeded in making a wonderful primitive quilt...love it!ReplyDelete
I'm glad you submitted your quilts to the show. You would have always wondered what would happen. I think they're terrific and I love your originality. Maybe you have come up with your own genre. Don't worry about trying to reply to this comment. I have the same frustration.ReplyDelete
I like "Hills and Valleys" very much. I could call the style Contemporary Primitive. A new category. I made a quilt one time with an artist friend. She did the design work and I did the sewing. It was early in my machine quilting and not done all that well. She sent an entry and picture to the Paducah show and it was accepted.....but she had fudged a bit on the size and there was no category that it fit in. The quilt was sent back to her without being in the show. I don't think they would have hung it anyhow as the workmanship was not major quilt show quality.ReplyDelete
I'm glad too that you submitted your quilts and that you were extended an invitation to do so. Your quilts are fresh and interesting. You take the traditional and give it a twist. I hope you will share your work with others when you get the opportunity.ReplyDelete
I'm so with you on being interested in quilting in a non-competitive way. I'm sorry that your quilts weren't accepted, but I find myself wondering if the judges don't need to widen their horizons to think outside the traditional primitive box. One of the things I love about your work is that you combine so many different facets of quilting in a very distinct way. I'd say it's their loss!ReplyDelete
I think both quilts are fabulous! I've been through that cycle of feelings a few times. Tends to make me not want to enter things in juried shows. But challenges whether personal or external do tend to motivate me to get things done occasionally. So I try every once in awhile...ReplyDelete
Here's what I think...it's almost impossible to guess what is gonna be accepted or not into a juried show. Personally I love the way you design quilts. They are whimsical, and primitive, and bold and beautiful and pack quite the punch to my eye. It's quite an accomplishment to be asked to enter. Right? Right. Keep doing you, that's enough for us.ReplyDelete
I like the contrast between center and border, the repeated arc shapes throughout, the way your parallel quilting highlights the stripes as well as emphasizing direction changes in Hills and Valleys. Plus you know I honed in on the Chinese Coin sets in both quilts.
Congratulations for entering what you'd already made.
Et bien moi j'adore vos quilts ! Et votre Hills and Valleys est simplement merveilleux ! FriendshipReplyDelete
Yes, I agree. The whole, stressful thing of entering a show stops me in my tracks, and I have only tried a few. But it is good experience, and you are absolutely right. I would be one of those people who would love to see your quilts up close and personal. You have gorgeous work!ReplyDelete
Good for you! It was worth making the effort, in my opinion. I also submitted a quilt for the IQF Chicago show, and was rejected. The category was Midwest traditional quilts. I entered a medallion -- what could be more traditional than that?? -- but it was not traditional colors or using a long-standing design. It was my colors and my design. Would they not want original traditional? Apparently not that one! :) But I'm happy I made the effort and likely will do it again. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
great prim quilt - it is fun to exhibit at Houston. I'll be in the American Tradition.ReplyDelete
I know what category I would place your quilts in ... wonderful!! They always inspire creativity in me!! Thanks for sharing!!ReplyDelete
I very much like both of those quilts! They are quite charming and unique. Thanks for showing them here.ReplyDelete
Such a familiar experience for most quilters who have ever thought of sharing in this way. Never let another's judgment dull your quilty sparkle!
You just keep on doing you!
Reading the above comments, I have to agree with all the commenters ... your Style is Original, Whimsical, Charming, Bold and Beautiful, and so much more! They are uniquely YOU, and you should always cherish that unique ability you have to take fabrics that seemingly would never play well together, and make them shine. Yours is a gift that many of us would love to possess. So, keep on doing just what you're doing!ReplyDelete
Well at least you were invited to participate, did submit your quilts for consideration, that is 1/2 the battle. I love your quilts and eagerly await you sharing them here. Actually your type of quilts speak to me and I strive to make quirky quilts too! Keep on keeping on.
You're taking this well. I'd be a bit miffed to be *invited* to participate and then to have my quilts rejected, yeesh, how rude.
lizzy at gone to the beach
Hills and Valleys is an amazing, beautiful quilt - congratulations!ReplyDelete
I'm not sure what the criteria is. I knew of several folks last year that had quilts rejected. It seems they don't want them original- but by specific designers. That's just my guess.ReplyDelete
I've never worked out where I 'fit' either and have had to conclude I don't care enough to keep worrying about it. I do know, though, that I would love to visit any quilt show and find these lovely pieces hanging.ReplyDelete
Good for you! I think your quilts are amazing. They are unique - I mean that in a complimentary way! So original. You most assuredly have "the vision" for boundless creativity. Their loss!ReplyDelete
Folk Art Quilts, is my two cents, and I think your quilts are the definition! To me that means authentic and accessible, but also skilled and inventive. All worthy aspirations, in my book!ReplyDelete
I actually find it very stressful to enter a quilt in a show and after the first two times I decided it wasn't worth it to me - I like to make quilts for my satisfaction and not for someone else to tell me what is wrong with them or what is right about them - I know a lot of quilters think they have to enter shows - I just don't feel like we have toReplyDelete
Well I think they are BEAUTIFUL and big kudos for entering. You did GOOD!!!ReplyDelete
I love getting comments and always try to respond via email. If you aren't getting replies back from me, try leaving your email address within the comment. Due to Blogger changes, I've heard that some people aren't able to leave comments here at all. In that case, you can always email me at audkateaster at gmail dot com if you'd like and I'll respond from there. Thanks so much for visiting!

While consistently riding is the best way for a road cyclist to improve their skills, utilizing other forms of exercise can build strength, increase endurance, prevent injuries and build confidence. This month, we'll look at three forms of cross training for road cyclists: strength-training, indoor cycling and mountain biking.
Building strength should be a part of every cyclist's plan. Getting stronger will help you improve your speed and endurance on the bike while helping to prevent common cycling injuries that can keep you off your bike for weeks or even months. Cycling requires a strong core for balance, speed, climbing, and overall endurance and strength-training, preferably incorporating weights, which is an excellent complement to riding.
The main goal with strength-training is to create a stronger support system for the primary muscles utilized while on the bike. The aerobically stronger your assistance muscles and core are, the more powerful you become and the less fatigue you will experience on a long ride.
Strength-training can be as simple as having a set of weights and developing a training program you can follow at home. Access to a fitness facility provides the ability to vary your routine while offering free weight and assistance machine options. An internet search will yield a wealth of fitness routines designed to benefit cyclists, or a personal trainer can customize a routine for you. When designing a routine, consider that, in addition to strengthening the lower body, cycling utilizes muscles in our back, core and arms.
If the repetition of a weight training solo doesn't appeal to you, consider a class that incorporates training the entire body in a fun, group setting. For years, I focused on training solo but have transitioned to the Les Mills Program's Body Pump class, a choreographed hour-long class utilizing lighter weights and high repetitions that trains the entire body. As a result, I have greater endurance, reduced arm and shoulder fatigue, my balance is better, and my legs have become more powerful.
When weather and schedules prevent us from enjoying an outdoor ride, indoor cycling is an excellent substitute. Additionally, riding a stationary bike or utilizing a trainer enables you to focus on speed, cadence and resistance without the concerns of road hazards and traffic. The good news is that indoor trainers and stationary bikes have come a long way from the antiquated, barely rideable models from years ago.
An example of an indoor trainer utilizing your own bike is Zwift, a turbo trainer game connected to your computer, iPad, iPhone or Apple TV while letting you ride with other cyclists in a virtual environment, therefore helping to alleviate some of the boredom associated with indoor riding.
The Peloton Bike is a stationary bike that brings you the most convenient and immersive indoor cycling experience, streaming daily live classes available 24/7 directly into your home. You compete with other cyclists in a variety of rides from rolling hills to interval training.
Cycling classes, otherwise known as spin classes, are a great way to build your speed, endurance and climbing ability in a group setting. There are stand-alone facilities, including Soul Cycle and Cycle Bar, however, most fitness facilities offer spin classes as part of their memberships. Classes range from freestyle, with instructors creating their own routines and playlists, to programs such as the Les Mills RPM and SPRINT classes. I've found the Les Mills Program to be the best compliment to my road cycling; the 45-minute class simulates a road ride by including speed, climbing and interval training in a seven-song or track class while RPM is a 30-minute interval class.
Offroad, or mountain biking, is an excellent way to vary riding outdoors. In contrast to riding on the road, which improves your cardiovascular fitness for spinning at a high cadence for a long time, mountain biking requires more dynamic fitness – from quick bursts to sustained cardio output – and incorporates many more muscle groups. Mountain bikes differ greatly from road bikes in frame design, overall weight, wheels, tires and gears, so the sport does require an investment … but then again, the more bikes in the world, the better.
What Central Florida lacks in mountains, we make up for in trails built and maintained by those who are passionate about this sport. The top five local mountain bike trails are Santos, Alafia River State Park, Balm Boyette Scrub Preserve, Markham Park and Imba Red. If the thought of riding around trees on a narrow dirt trail, navigating new terrain, and crossing log bridges is daunting to you, there are clinics available for every skill level.
In addition to becoming a stronger and more proficient road cyclist, cross training can alleviate boredom and introduce you to new friends and experiences. Next month, we'll explore additional cross training options and the unique benefits they offer, all in the name of fun and fitness.
Check back next month for Part Two of "Upping Your Game: Cross Training for Road Cyclists."

Cargo Handling, Port Infrastructure, Other Issues to be Discussed Under New Agreement
Port authorities in Virginia and Georgia may engage in discussions on a variety of commercial and operational topics under the East Coast Port Gateway Terminal Agreement that took effect April 10. This agreement is one of a small but growing number of agreements among port authorities, marine terminal operators, and others seeking to join forces to maintain and improve their global competitiveness.
A joint press release from the Georgia Ports Authority and the Virginia Port Authority states that the agreement encourages the exchange of information and best practices in five areas.
- cargo handling practices and terms, gate operations and access, turn times, staffing, and infrastructure
- joint or independent acquisition, utilization, and best practices relating to operating systems and equipment, including metrics relating to the repair and use of chassis and containers
- joint or independent acquisition and use of marketing materials for ocean carriers, alliances, shippers, beneficial cargo owners, and ocean transportation intermediaries
- commercial opportunities regarding carriers
- exchanging operational information and performance criteria with carriers, shippers, and other marine terminal operators
The agreement does not cover discussions regarding purchase or lease prices for containers or chassis and prohibits the ports from entering into agreements on rates, charges, terms, or conditions on containers or chassis without filing an agreement with the FMC.
"The U.S. East Coast continues to see larger vessels and cargo exchanges since the opening of the expanded Panama Canal last year," a joint press release issued when the agreement was filed with the Federal Maritime Commission in February said. "Increasingly, our customers are seeking gateway ports on the East Coast that can leverage sufficient landside infrastructure to ensure the free flow of cargo. The states of Georgia and Virginia have made the necessary investments to prepare for this new era in global trade. The East Coast Gateway Terminal Agreement is an innovative collaboration that will allow us to find new ways to become more efficient and effective."

This week (Nov 11th to 15th) is Library Ireland Week, a week long celebration and promotion of libraries and information services of all shapes and sizes around the country.
The first dedicated bereavement library in Ireland
Did you know that the Irish Hospice Foundation's Therese Brady Library was the first specialist bereavement library in Ireland and holds the largest collection of bereavement material in the country?
Opened in 2003, the library is named after the late Therese Brady, former Director of Postgraduate Training in Clinical Psychology at UCD who developed the Irish Hospice Foundation's Bereavement Services in the late 1980s. Therese's collection of books on bereavement theory were bequeathed to the IHF on her death and from there the library developed.
Over time the Therese Brady Library has developed to reflect the activities and core projects of the Foundation in particular our education courses; the PGDip/Msc in Bereavement Studies and Certificate in Children & Loss. The current collection stands at about 4,000 items which can be browsed on our library catalogue HERE
We also provide access to over 8,000 journal titles including specialist bereavement and end-of-life publications through our e-resources, as well as a growing collection of ebooks, webinars and multimedia material.
Each year the library responds to hundreds of information and resource requests from professionals and researchers in the areas of Palliative care, Gerontology, Social work, Psychology, Pastoral care, Schools and health and community services. If you are a professional and want to learn more or want to sign up for our weekly current awareness ezine which provides details on new articles and publications in the field of bereavement research, click HERE
We also provide access to information and supportive reading material for members of the public who are coping with grief. Our supportive reading lists are available HERE
Access to the library is available by appointment to external researchers and members of the public, more details HERE
Check out THIS video to find out more about the ways all sorts of libraries across the country are helping people to 'Think Outside the Book'
Happy Library Ireland Week to all the information seekers out there.

A BALLOCH man who battered a stranger to death after finding him in bed with his mother has been jailed for four years and eight months.
Sean Mahan, 21, discovered Dumbarton man Stewart McKellar, 33, and his mum Lavina ,50, together whilst his father was working offshore.
Mahan attacked Mr McKellar at his family home in Balloch before lashing out at Lavina.
After the brutal assault, Mahan called a friend and said: "This guy was sleeping with my mum. I think I've killed him."
Mahan, of Luss Road pleaded guilty to the August 2014 culpable homicide of Mr McKellar at the High Court in Glasgow in December last year.
Sentence had been deferred to the High Court in Edinburgh in order for the court to obtain reports about Mahan's character.
On Wednesday, judge Lord Turnbull told Mahan that the assault on Mr McKellar was a 'gross over reaction' to what he had witnessed.
He added: "You engaged in a sustained violent attack in which you repeatedly punched a man who did nothing but try to protect himself.
"You have left the victim's family in a state of grief and despair and there is nothing that I can do that will alleviate these circumstances.
"This was a sustained and uncalled for act of violence."
At the previous hearing, the court heard how Mr McKellar died after being out with friends at the night club in the Lomond Park Hotel in Balloch on August 23.
He met Lavina at the club and after talking to each other, they headed back to her home where they started kissing.
She invited Mr McKellar upstairs as she was 'worried someone would come in'.
But the court heard her son then suddenly returned home in the early hours and found his mum in bed with Mr McKellar.
He barged the door open and yelled: "What are you doing? How could you do this to my dad."
His father John Mahan was working offshore at the time.
The court heard there was then a 'prolonged assault' lasting up to 20 minutes on Mr McKellar which involved repeated punching.
Mahan then turned on his mum slapping her on the head and calling her 'a slut'.
As a badly beaten Mr McKellar lay naked on the floor, Mrs Mahan managed to run away.
Mahan then called a friend and said: "Mate, you will need to come down. This guy was sleeping with my mum and I think I have killed him."
Paramedics soon arrived at the house after being alerted to what had gone and discovered a hysterical Mrs Mahan.
Prosecution lawyer Douglas Fairlie QC told the court: "There were clear signs of a disturbance - broken furniture and glass as well as items of male and female clothing on the bedroom floor."
Attempts were made to save Mr McKellar but he was pronounced dead.
Mahan was later found by police at a friend's house hiding in a kitchen cupboard.
He asked about Mr McKellar and claimed: "I only punched him. What would you have done?
"My dad's working offshore and I come home to find my mum in bed with someone else."
On Wednesday, defence solicitor advocate Murray Macara QC told the court that his client was full of remorse for what happened.
As Mr Macara spoke, Mahan sat in the dock, shaking and sobbing.
Mr Macara said Mahan was now suffering from panic attacks and anxiety.
He added: "There was a degree of impulsive behaviour on his part. He formed the view that his mother had betrayed his father.
"This caused him to act in the way in which he did.
"Upon release from prison he hopes to join his father in the Aberdeen area as he doesn't see a future for himself in the Balloch area."
Lord Turnbull also imposed a 16 month sentence on Mahan for assaulting his mother. However, that sentence will run concurrently with the four year eight month imposed for culpable homicide.
Mahan was then taken to the cells of the high court to begin his sentence behind bars.

|This magic you speak of breeds consequence. This is the making of a plague, Esther. The Spirits will turn on you.
— Ayana to Esther in Ordinary People (flashback)
Ayana was a powerful witch and descendant of Qetsiyah, the creator of the first immortality spell. She was also the best friend and mentor of Esther Mikaelson, with whom she moved to the New World in the late 10th century, along with the rest of Esther's family.
Ayana was a member of the Bennett Family.
Early History
Born during the Middle Ages in Northern Europe, Ayana became a dear friend and mentor of another witch named Esther in the Kingdom of Norway. After Esther experienced what was believed to be the untimely death of her firstborn child, Ayana told Esther and her husband, Mikael, about a mystical land far away in the New World where the inhabitants experienced good health, speed and strength. After they arrived in the New World, Ayana became known as the healer and prophet of their new village due to her frequent communion with the Spirits and her insight into the metaphysical and spiritual realms of the universe.
Throughout the Vampire Diaries Series
Season Three
In Ordinary People, Rebekah tells Elena of their origin. In a flashback it shows that Rebekah was fascinated, with what would become Esther's Talisman, though Ayana, burned her, telling her it was not hers to touch. Moments later, Klaus is heard screaming for his mother, cradling Henrik's limp body in his arms. The night prior, the two brothers had snuck out to witness the wolves turning on a full moon, though paid a heavy price. Esther pleaded with Ayana to save her son, though Ayana stated that the Spirits would not give them a way and that he was gone.
One night, shortly after the brutal death of their son, both Esther and Mikael begged Ayana to call upon the Spirits before the next full moon to protect her children, to transform their family into a superior species. However, as a devout believer and follower of the Spirits, as well as a descendant of the witch who first created immortality and paid the price for it, Ayana refused to help Esther, as she knew what Esther was planning violated the fundamental laws of Nature. After Esther and Mikael's plea, Ayana states to Esther, "At what cost? This magic you speak of breeds consequence. This is the makings of a plague, Esther. The Spirits will turn on you." With a final plea from Esther, Ayana turns her back on the Mikaelsons, upholding Nature's will. However, Mikael was still determined to proceed with their plan. So, disregarding the advice of her mentor with the support of her husband, Esther tapped into dark forces and succeeded in creating the very first vampires by performing an adapted version of Qetsiyah's original immortality spell. After they had turned, Ayana's foreshadowed warning came true. All the ingredients Esther used in the spell, Nature had turned against them and made it a weakness to them.
In Dangerous Liaisons, Esther reveals that after her death, Ayana preserved her body with a spell and sealed her coffin with the blood knot sealing spell, so that only two descendants of the Bennett bloodline could open.
In All My Children, Esther reveals to Bonnie and Abby that she draws power from the entirety of her mentor's bloodline, the Bennett ancestors, including Ayana. Having both Bonnie and Abby, the bloodline was made manifest. Together, they would bring peace to the Spirits of Nature that they served by destroying all vampires.
In Heart of Darkness, it is revealed that Rebekah knew that Ayana had preserved Esther's body when she approached her daughter telling her that the spell had weakened, that she was dying when her connection to the Bennett bloodline was severed with Abby's death.
Season Eight
In I Was Feeling Epic, Ayana, returned from peace and, joined alongside other Bennett witch spirits, with Bonnie saved Mystic Falls from the destruction of Hellfire.
Powers and Abilities
Ayana was said to be the mentor of Esther who was one of the most powerful witches in history, meaning she taught Esther many of the things she knew about witchcraft, especially after Esther had lost Freya to Dahlia.
Ayana was said to be the creator of Esther's Talisman, allowing Esther to focus her powers, making Esther more able to direct her energy. Given that she seemed to be regarding the Spirits, she most likely would have also taught Esther Spirit Magic, as Esther used it when she returned to life.
She was said to be the village Healer, which implies that she would have specialized in Healing Spells. However, because it was also confirmed that Healing Spells were very hard to master, and took very powerful witches like Emily Bennett years to even perfect, should point to the fact that she was a very skilled and proficient witch.
When Henrik was murdered by the werewolves, Esther and Mikael came to Ayana for help to cast the Immortality Spell, which not only implied that she had access to it, because she was a descendant of the witch who invented Immortality, but also that she somehow had the power to execute it as well, which points to her power and skill as a witch. She was also the witch who was responsible for preserving Esther's corpse as well as sealing her coffin with a Blood-Knot Sealing Spell; both spells lasted for more than a millennium, which is a testament to her skills at spell casting.
Ayana had the typical weaknesses of a witch.
- Ordinary People (Flashback)
- Dangerous Liaisons (Mentioned)
- All My Children (Mentioned)
- Heart of Darkness (Mentioned)
- I Was Feeling Epic (Spirit)
- Ayana is from African-American origin and the meaning is "a pretty flower."[1]
- As a descendant of Qetsiyah, the creator of the first immortality spell, it is very possible that Ayana already knew of the dangers that came with eternal life.
- This is insinuated when she warned Esther that the Spirits would turn on her if she succeeded in turning her children into immortal vampires.
- Ayana is played by the same actress who played Mrs. Halpern, a trigonometry teacher from Season One.
- It is assumed Esther learned most of her spells from Ayana since Ayana was her mentor, which suggests that Ayana was very powerful.

BAGHDAD — Two suicide car bombs claimed by ISIS killed at least 32 people and wounded 75 others in the center of the southern Iraqi city of Samawa on Sunday, police and medics said.
The first blast was near a local government building and the second one about 65 yards away at a bus station, police sources said. The death toll was expected to keep rising.
Unverified online photographs showed a large plume of smoke rising above the buildings as well as burnt out cars and bodies on the ground at the site of one of the blasts, including several children. Police and firefighters carried victims on stretchers and in their arms.
ISIS said it had attacked a gathering of special forces in Samawa, 140 miles south of the capital, with one car bomb and then blew up the second when security forces responded to the site.
Related: ISIS Claims Deadly Truck Bombing in Iraq Marketplace: Report
ISIS holds positions mostly in Sunni areas of the country's north and west, far from the mainly Shi'ite southern provinces where Samawa is located. Such attacks are relatively rare.
The rise of the ultra-hardline Sunni insurgents has exacerbated Iraq's sectarian conflict, mostly between Shi'ites and Sunnis, which emerged after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein.
The quota-based governing system put in place by the United States at the time is being challenged by hundreds of protesters who camped out overnight in Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone after storming the parliament building.
Meanwhile, two police officers were killed and 23 people wounded in a suicide car bomb attack on police headquarters in the south-eastern Turkish city of Gaziantep, the governor and police sources said, in one of two attacks on security forces on Sunday.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility but security sources said police raided the home of a suspected ISIS militant believed to have carried out the attack and detained his father for DNA tests and questioning.
Related: How to Beat ISIS: Blow Up the Money
Nineteen police officers and four civilians were wounded in the attack, a statement from Gaziantep governor Ali Yerlikaya's office said. One police officer died at the scene and a second in hospital, a security source said.
Turkey has suffered attacks recently both from Kurdish militants and ISIS fighters, raising uncertainty at home and among NATO allies about spillover of conflict from neighboring Syria.
Several hundred miles eastwards along the same border, in the town of Nusaybin, three Turkish soldiers were killed and 14 others wounded in an armed attack by Kurdish militants, an army statement said.
Turkey is facing security threats on several fronts. As part of a U.S.-led coalition, it is fighting ISIS in neighboring Syria and Iraq and battling Kurdish PKK militants in its southeast, where a 2-1/2-year ceasefire collapsed last July, triggering the worst violence since the 1990s.
A wave of suicide bombings this year, including two in its largest city Istanbul, have been blamed on ISIS, and two in the capital Ankara were claimed by a Kurdish militant group. The Sunni hardline group, which usually claims responsibility for its attacks has never done so in Turkey.
Last week a female suicide bomber blew herself up next to a mosque on a busy street in Turkey's fourth largest city of Bursa, wounding eight people.
Turkey has also faced attacks from far-left groups, mostly on police and security forces.

LM Wind Power successfully completes installation and test of 66.5 meter offshore blade for Hitachi's 5.2MW wind turbine
LM Wind Power and Hitachi commenced installation of the 66.5 meter blade in 2016 with the aim of optimizing Hitachi's 5.2MW platform to operate effectively also in lower wind sites.
The new LM Wind Power blades will now enable Hitachi to offer their 5.2MW wind turbine with a rotor size of 136 meters. The 66.5 meter blades have been tested on a wind turbine of the Kashima Port Fukashiba Wind Power Station in east Japan since October last year.
LM Wind Power CEO, Marc de Jong said: "We are very pleased to support Hitachi, a leader in the development of wind power in Japan, in this offshore development of a new rotor for their 5.2MW platform. We look forward to seeing the 66.5 meter blades generate clean, renewable energy in lower wind sites along the coast of Japan's main island."
The 66.5 meter blades were produced in LM Wind Power's blade manufacturing facility in Jiangyin, China.

In order to educate the children and give them a broader respect for various world cultures we will start having a weekly storytelling night at the Wingnut. It is our belief that most racism is built upon ignorance of other cultures and beliefs, so the most effective method of combatting racism is through giving children an understanding and respect of cultures throughout the world at a young age through sharing their myths and folktales. We also hope to help children increase their skill at reading and gather a deeper interest in books so as they grow older they may choose what they wish to learn and further discover the joys of reading on their own.
In order to make storytime interesting we are building a collection of books of myths, folktales, and children's stories from a variety of cultures. To kickstart this program, we just bought 10 books, which will be added to our Radical Lending Library and used in the Wingnut Storytime program.
If you would like to help us with this program, please just get in touch. Right now we will be trying out a couple different times for this (and it may end up being something that happens when kids are around or during Open Hours) but we will update as the times get set.
So far we have:
Tales of the Badia: Bedouin Folk Tales From Lebanon
Rami Zurayk
Aboriginal Myths: Tales Of The Dreamtime
Nelson Mandela's Favorite African Folktales
Coyote: A Trickster Tale from the American Southwest
African Folk Tales (Dover Children's Thrift Classics)
Moroccan Folktales (Middle East Literature in Translation)
Scottish Fairy and Folk Tales: (Forgotten Books)
Aesop's Fables: A Classic Illustrated Edition
Japanese Fairy Tales (Tuttle Classics)
There are lots of books we have found that we would like to use for the program and we are asking that anyone interested in supporting this effort think about buying one of the books for us (or giving us a copy if you have it already).
Here are some of the books we would like for our Children's Storytime Program:

When purchasing a pair of cowboy spurs or vintage cowboy spurs, it is important to know as much information about the item you are buying.
As you become more proficient in knowing the marks of the spur makers and the different designs of rowels, you will be able to spot a pair of North and Judd spurs a mile away.
The term Half Mounted Spurs refers to the silver decoration adorning the spur itself. Half Mounted means that the silver is only visible on one half of the spur - usually the outside so that others can see the decoration.
Half Mounted Spurs can feature a wide range of designs of silver, bronze or copper decals, patterns or motifs. I suspect you could even get a pair with your name mounted on too - if you really wanted!
If you look at the picture above you can see that the silver decoration is only on the outside of the spur, not on the inside.

START This 17-year-old Ahead Of Alexis Sanchez On Saturday- Fans Rant
Goonersden brings you news from top football news sites from the likes of ESPN, SkySport, Daily Mail, Daily Star and Metro… We also Analyse football, player, transfer and predict Arsenal starting line-up.
Arsenal fans want to see Reiss Nelson start over Alexis Sanchez against Bournemouth in Saturday's Premier League meeting at the Emirates Stadium.
The 17-year-old featured heavily in Arsenal's pre-season programme and is tipped to make an impact over the course of the campaign for Arsene Wenger's side.
And on Tuesday he starred for England under-19s in their 3-1 defeat to Germany in Mansfield, scoring the Three Lions' only goal.
With Alexis not fully fit and focus on Arsenal, while Danny Welbeck and Theo Walcott are not everyone's favourite, there could be an opportunity for the 17-year-old to start.
Nelson has been in hot form this season so far. He impressed during pre-season for Arsenal, and then went on to score five goals in three games for the u23s.
Arsenal fans, should Arsene Wenger start Reiss Nelson over Alexis Sanchez against Bournemouth this weekend? #AFC #AFCB #ReissNelson

Monday Mixtape: Airport Mode
I love airports. Those who travel might have similar feelings despite our airports' reputation.
Maybe it has to do with a forthcoming adventure or the lingering sense of it. Or maybe, it's because any traveler finds home in this temporary dwelling: while waiting for a relative, a delayed flight, or the next morning just to skip checking in a hostel for only three hours.
During these waiting hours, one might read a book or play with a gadget, but usually, one listens to music.
Sometimes, a traveler stuck at an airport listens to music to fall asleep.
In that case, the best kind of music to bring along is not too rock or too soft. Music that does not wake you somewhere in the chorus, but does not bring you to deep sleep to miss your departure.
The following is a mix of chill music that drowns the noise of people coming and going in an airport, but lulls one to comfort.

Ugh … almost done! Okay, not really. But one can hope, right? Or is the unrealistic optimism making you gag? I have so much to do in the next few days, it's crazy. My internal clock is way out of whack. For instance, last night I slept almost 16 hours. Woah. I really could've used that chunk of time. But whatever. It's okay. It will all be okay. Repeat: It will all be okay.
I'm also slightly freaking out because the library sent me a notice that a book I had checked out is overdue … even though I am positive I returned it last week. I did finally quit my job, which is kind of sad, but I'm just not going to have the time for it anymore. And what else? Oh, I've lost another few pounds, meaning that I am now approximately 20 pounds under my college weight. Whups. I'll probably gain it back during the holidays though, so I guess it's okay.
And hey, New York is pretty in the early morning. You know, in that rare space of time when there are no rats or people.

I am the author of this website. Marc is my name. I am around 40 years old, and mostly based around the east side of the Iberic Peninsula.
I am an easy-going person who prefer to talk joking and digg into deep issues in my daily life and or remain calm meanwhile and or otherwise. I have been studying and travelling always on my own since «adulthood», and started to get obsessed with wiki edits and diagrams around 2003. Now since a couple or three years ago i have concentrated my heat in writing a book about the flove theory and other kind of very humble presentations of it, like this website and others briefings in spanish.
I hope for the documents i am everyday evolving to help me explain it all better and bring more people on board into the project, since i am not able to theorize further without having more conversations, nor i am capable of doing programming or design by myself. Lastly and not less importantly, i also feel very lazy with marketings, fundings and related formal communication strategies, so… enjoy the visit, expect improvements, see you around!

US: A study conducted by researchers using satellite imagery and data from the Nurses' Health Study reveal that women who reside in homes surrounded by greenery live significantly longer than those in areas with less vegetation.
Published in Environmental Health Perspectives, the research looked at 108,630 American women from 2000 to 2008, and compared their risk of mortality with the amount of greenery around their houses.
The scientists found that women who live surrounded by nature have a 12 per cent lower mortality risk than those live in areas with little greenery.
Interestingly, when it comes to cancer and respiratory related deaths, the researchers found that women whose homes have lots of vegetation have a 34 per cent lower chance of dying from respiratory diseases, and a 13 per cent lower rate of dying from cancers compared to those who live in a concrete jungle.
The reason that those with a lush back garden live longer is because they're more likely to go out and exercise and socialise with their neighbours or friends. They also experience less air and noise pollution and lower rates of stress and improved mental health.
"We were surprised to observe such strong associations between increased exposure to greenness and lower mortality rates," said researcher Peter James of the Harvard Chan School Department of Epidemiology.
"We were even more surprised to find evidence that a large proportion of the benefit from high levels of vegetation seems to be connected with improved mental health."
