A 'rebel' show of Asghar Farhadi film being planned in London on Oscars night
Some filmmakers in London are planning a 'rebel' show on Oscars night (February 26). This is a mark of protest against Trump's ban on refugees and visitors from seven Islamic states (Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen).world-cinema Updated: Feb 01, 2017 14:48 IST
Once upon a time, directors whose movies were rejected for the Indian Panorama of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) would screen their works in theatres outside the festival venue. Their shows would defiantly go on along with the festival screenings. Believe it or not, some of these movies were far better than the ones in the Panorama. One still remembers these 'rebel shows' in cities like Thiruvananthapuram - where the travelling IFFI used to set up its camp before it got a permanent venue at Panaji in Goa. It now seems that some of the top cinema personalities in the UK have taken a leaf out of the India chapter, and are now planning to screen the Oscar nominated work, The Salesman, by the Iranian auteur, Asghar Farhadi, in London. He is one among those affected by the recent travel ban imposed by President Donald Trump.
The London 'rebel' show - as a mark of protest against Trump's ban on refugees and visitors from seven Islamic states (Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen) - is likely to take place on the very night the Academy Awards are announced in Los Angeles - which is February 26.
Actors and filmmakers -- including Julie Christie, Kevin Macdonald, Kiera Knightley and Terry Gilliam -- have sought the permission of the Duke of Westminster to screen The Salesman at London's Grosvenor Square. The group also includes Oscar winners and nominees like Mike Leigh, Glen Close and Andrea Arnold. (Strangely, a brilliant work like I, Daniel Blake by Leigh on the cruel social security system in Britain was given a miss by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences).
The letter to the Duke quoted by The Guardian reads: "As an open expression of peaceful civic protest at this critical time, we wish to screen Mr Farhadi's movie in Grosvenor Square; directly opposite the United States embassy building. We believe it is our duty as members of the filmmaking community, in a city renowned for its values of tolerance, compassion and multiculturalism, to make an important public expression of protest to the United States Government that will resonate nationally and globally."
The Academy has also been upset with the Trump order. A spokeswoman said: "As supporters of moviemakers - and the human rights of all people - around the globe, we find it extremely troubling that Asghar Farhadi, the director of the Oscar-winning film from Iran, A Separation, along with the cast and crew of this year's Oscar-nominated movie, The Salesman, could be barred from entering the country because of their religion or country of origin."
American stars have also been quite livid. Michael Moore, whose documentary, Fahrenheit 9/11, famously bashed President George Bush and won the Palm d' Or at Cannes, tweeted: "To our Muslim neighbours in the world: I & tens of millions of others are so very sorry. The majority of Americans did not vote 4 this man."
In fact, Hollywood had never expected Trump to win. In a frank statement that actor George Clooney made during a press conference at Cannes last May, he said: "There will not be a President Donald Trump."
The Salesman is one of the five films nominated for the Best Foreign Language Oscar. The other four are Toni Erdmann from Germany, Land of Mine (Denmark), Swedish title A Man Called Ove and Australia's Tanna.
India's Visaaranai by Vetrimaaran - an excellent take on police brutality on hapless migrant workers - missed the boat. It did not even make it to the first list of nine movies.

From cook to grower in Raleigh
James Edwards' path to the farm passed through the kitchen.
Edwards, 34, grew up in Seagrove and studied culinary arts at Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte. After graduation, he spent six years in New York City working as both a waiter and cook at various restaurants, including Moran's, a longtime Irish restaurant in West Chelsea.
"I was trying to learn every thing I could to prepare myself to open a restaurant," Edwards said.
Edwards returned to North Carolina to renovate a 1,400-square-foot storefront in Albemarle for a restaurant. He opened Off the Square Restaurant in 2010, but was frustrated by the lack of locally grown food in the area. He decided to turn to farming. "I wanted to go deeper in the food system," Edwards said.
About two years ago, Edwards started helping build infrastructure at the Raleigh City Farm, a nonprofit farm with a mission to encourage farm entrepreneurship. Edward built the farm's shed and cistern, among other things. When there was an opening for a head farmer, Edwards stepped into that role.
Edwards has been the head farmer at Raleigh City Farm for about nine months. He grows vegetables and fruits on the one-third acre to sell to restaurants, such as Poole's Diner, Busy Bee Cafe, Garland, Standard Foods and Stanbury. The farm also has a CSA (community-supported agriculture), a weekly share of produce for consumers, and an on-site farm stand where food is sold to the public.
Customers also benefit from his culinary training as Edwards shares recipes for each week's produce on the farm's blog. A current one is for Collard Green Wraps.
This is an excellent time of year to cook greens, and Edwards' recipe shares a neat trick for converting those lightly cooked collards into wraps by shaving the stem. It looks like Raleigh has more to look forward to from Edwards.
He has one long-term goal in mind: "Before I'm 40, I want to open a restaurant in Raleigh supplied by my farm."

Collard Green Wraps
From James Edwards and Charlotte Coman of Raleigh City Farm.
1 bunch collards, about 3/4 pound
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup sorghum
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 pound shiitake and oyster mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 medium sweet potato, grated with a cheese grater (about 1 cup packed)
1 head tatsoi, thinly sliced
1 head pak choi, thinly sliced
5 ounces baby kale
1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
Sea salt and pepper
Garnish: Thinly sliced radish and microgreens (optional)
Blanch the collard greens: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for blanching. Meanwhile, using a vegetable peeler, carefully shave the stem on the back of the leaf until it is flat with the leaf, then cut the stem off at the leaf's base. Blanch collards until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from water to colander, let drain and set aside to cool.
Make the sauce: Mix Dijon mustard with sorghum until well-combined. Set aside.
Make the filling: Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté mushrooms until golden brown. Add garlic and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove from heat and place in a bowl.
In the same pan, add sweet potato, tatsoi and pak choi. Sauté until tender. Remove from heat and add to bowl with mushrooms. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper to taste.
Fold baby kale into warm mixture, then fold in cheese. Add 1/4 cup sauce to the mix, stirring to combine.
Lay each collard leaf flat and spoon filling down the center. Roll up like a burrito. Repeat.
Garnish with radish and microgreens. Drizzle with the remaining sauce.
Yield: 8-10 servings.


text: I have to get a Christmas present finished up (I know, realllllllly late!!!!) as I will be going to Florida to see my friend in July. The quilt is all pieced together and I am stumped by the batting I should use. It is warm in his part of Florida all year round, with the winter temps averaging around 75-77 degrees. I am considering just making it a throw instead of using a batting. I thought about just using some flannel as it would have some warmth to it but not too warm. Also, with the cost of batting these days, I'm not sure I want to use one of my battings I have stashed away. Has anyone else ever made a "quilted throw"? What are your feelings about using flannel instead of batting? If I go with the flannel, is one layer enough or should I go with 2? It is a Dr. Seuss fabric quilt so I will be doing some wonky line quilting on it.

My favorite post of the year is here! At the end of each calendar year, we tally up our pattern sales for the year to see which designs were bestsellers for the past twelve months. It's fun to see what's trending with sewists: what designs are favorites year after year and and what new designs emerge.
But before we count them down, here are some Indiesew highlights from 2018:
- I traveled to Norway this summer with Leslie to visit Marie-Fleurine for nine days! It's so rewarding to see online sewing connections grow into beautiful friendships.
- Angie and I (mostly Angie) cut and shipped nearly 5,000 yards of almost entirely overstock fabric. That's almost 70% more than last year!
- Our largest collaboration to-date with Spoonflower and Dan Lehman allowed us to bring you a totally unique fabric, printed in the USA!
Be sure to check out what sewing patterns were trending in 2017, 2016, and 2015. Here's the 2018 list:

9. Minttu Top
Returning from last year, the Minttu Top is my favorite knit tank for summer. This swing tank top has a clever all-in-one facing for a clean finish. We've created a video for this method to help you along the way.
8. No Sweat Pants
There's always one pattern that surprises me on this list, and the No Sweat Pants by Seamly are it this year. This jogger/legging hybrid design has its own blog post with tips and tricks for the perfect fit.

5. Moto Sweatshirt
I was excited to see the Moto Sweatshirt make this list this year, because we put so much work into this pattern in collaboration with Seamly. This asymmetrical zip-up sweatshirt is a great alternative to a classic hoodie. Be sure to check out our Moto Sweatshirt Sewalong.

One of the most intriguing things about "The Vanishing" is the film's unusual structure, which builds suspense even while it seems to be telling us almost everything we want to know. The movie is a thriller based on a domestic tragedy - on a wife who inexplicably vanishes into thin air, and of her husband's three-year search for information about what happened to her. Almost from the beginning of the film, we know more than the husband does, and yet the more we know, the more we wonder and fear.
The film opens on a clear bright summer's day, as a Dutch couple drive down the expressway for a cycling holiday in France.
They've had a little domestic quarrel, nothing important, but now they are happy again as they stop at a roadside gas station for gas and refreshments. They throw around a Frisbee. They bury a couple of coins to mark the spot forever. The wife goes back to the station to buy beer and soft drinks, and she never returns. She disappears.
At first the husband cannot believe what has happened. He leaves a note on their car and goes looking for her. He can even see, in the background, the bright dot of her red hair in an idle Polaroid he snapped while waiting for her. Where did she go? The question becomes an obsession with him, even years later after he has lost hope of finding her alive. He simply needs to know.
Now at this point I must be cautious about what I write, because I don't want to spoil the film. Let it be said that we know from fairly early on who is responsible for the disappearance. He is a pleasant family man with a round, open face, and he seems mostly pleased with himself. We do not know how he abducted her, or what happened to her then, although there are clues. On the surface, he does not seem to be an evil man. He certainly doesn't fit the profile of a killer. But there is something twisted there, and we learn more about it as we learn more about his life story.
The husband has advertised all over France and Holland for his wife. He can think of nothing else - even though he is in a new relationship, with a woman who tries to understand the obsession. The abductor, of course, has seen the advertisements. He is not without sympathy for this man. And so the final scenes unfold.
"The Vanishing" is a thriller, but in a different way than most thrillers. It is a thriller about knowledge - about what the characters know about the disappearance, and what they know about themselves. The movie was directed by George Sluizer, based on a screenplay he did with Tim Krabbe, which in turn was based on Krabbe's novel The Golden Egg. Together they have constructed a psychological jigsaw puzzle, a plot that makes you realize how simplistic many suspense films really are. The movie advances in a tantalizing fashion, supplying information obliquely, suggesting as much as it tells, and everything leads up to a climax that is as horrifying as it is probably inevitable.

The other day I was browsing Goodwill with my mom, looking for some frames for my botanical prints when what to my wandering eye should appear… a gorgeous mirror!
I was literally walking (that's how I walk) down the main aisle toward the "home decor" department and when I saw it, and I knew immediately it had to be mine. For the $4.50 price, I couldn't pass it up. Especially since Mama was threatening to buy it if I didn't!
So, we got it home, cleaned it up and removed the mirror from the frame. The next dilemma was deciding what color to paint it. Hmmm…. black? white? oil rubbed bronze?
Eventually I decided it would look swell in our master bedroom with the elegant swirly floral curtains and the proper little velvet chair. Just a little more glam for the glammest corner in the house. :)
So I decided to paint it a slate blue kind of color to coordinate with the duvet and curtains. I was all prepared to go buy [another] can of paint (yeah that's how I waste money) when my Mama pulls out this awesome slate blue car paint! Whoo hoo! It was made for flexible things like plastic, so double score… cuz my mirror ain't as fancy as it looks—yeah, like all good things in life, it's plastic!*
* with the exception of chocolate which is not plastic… and it's pretty good.
Anyway, Mama was kind enough to paint it for me with the awesome blue car paint that was leftover from my brother's truck (or some such thing). Thanks, John!
Here it is all done up in blue:
And this is the glammest corner in the house. :)
What do you think? Now you need to get down to Goodwill and see what kinds of thrifty treasures are waiting for you! And don't forget your spray paint!

Mountain biking offers you the ability to gain some serious mileage into backcountry areas where you should be ready to handle problems on the trail. During winter rides, there is a higher cost to pay for mechanical and clothing issues. It might not be ideal, but ending up walking your bike on a spring or summer day is still not an entirely bad way to spend a day in the woods. If you're dealing with a cold and wet environment, you especially want to make sure you are prepared.
It's a smart idea to carry a stash of repair items in your pack. At least one tube (this goes for tubeless riders as well), a tube repair kit, an assortment of common bike bolts, a couple quick links for your chain, zip ties, a multi tool of your approval, and a means of inflating a tire should have you ready for most challenges you or your group might face. Two more items I like to carry are a short length of chain and a shift cable. I have rarely needed these items on the trail, but my friends and I were ecstatic when I had them (especially the toilet paper ;). These items pack down nicely and are hardly a hindrance to riding. I keep most of my repair items in a ziplock bag in my pack to make them easy to find. I carry this assortment of repair items all year long. The total weight of these items in the photo shown is 1.75 pounds. This is hardly noticeable in a pack and can turn you into a hero when you or someone else is in need.
The first step to having a great winter season on your bike is to get your bike running smooth. If you handle your own maintenance, spend extra attention to your shifting. This doesn't mean you should install all new cables and housing, but you should make sure housing ends are nice and trim and get a little lube within the housing so the cable can move unrestricted. I have had the best luck with Prolink lube for both cables and my chain. Getting your shifting nice and silky will pay off when you are wearing bulkier gloves. Extended time in cold temperatures can not only restrict your body's movement, but your cables' movement as well. So, make sure that you or your trusty bike mechanic has your bike well-tuned.
When it comes to dressing for the day, the use of layers will help you keep warm the best. My favorite combination for upper body includes a basic lightweight base layer and a medium weight Ibex wool jersey. Those two items alone can do a lot for you in temperatures ranging down to about 30 degrees. Under 30 degrees or in areas with a higher humidity level a nice mid-weight jacket will be enough to keep you comfortable in the neighborhood of 20 degrees. Look for pieces that keep the bulk down and are tailored for cycling. Most cycling jackets will have a high degree of wind blocking ability and do well at water resistance. The layers for the lower body can be kept to minimum. A good pair of riding pants will have nice block wind and water and keep in warmth better than tights.
For hands and feet, the trick is wearing enough to keep you warm without getting bulky. Peoples' bodies react different ways in the cold, so go with that heavier glove if needed. Keeping it to a mid-weight winter glove will give you better breathability and keep hands from sweating over the course of the ride. Another option is pogies. Pogies are insulated mitts that attach to your handlebar. You can wear a normal bike glove and slip your hands into them. Any time you can create some space and not have a tight fit, you can hold in warmth better. You also have the same dexterity with your fingers for braking and shifting as you would in summer rides because you can wear a lighter weight glove inside the pogies. This is one option to consider if you spend a lot of chilly days on the saddle.
If you have the money to spend on a nice pair of winter cycling shoes, then congratulations. All you need to do is pick your favorite socks and off you go. For those who need to adapt their shoes to work year-round, there are booties that can cover your shoes, giving you weather protection and insulation. I have had great experiences with products from Endura and my feet have been happy through the cold season while wearing booties. Another option is switching over to flat pedals for the winter and riding in an insulated boot. This is one way to keep costs down and insure warmth while out on cold days.
We are all different when it comes to how we handle cold weather, especially when it comes to hands and feet. Find the option that keeps you most comfortable and try not to worry too much about being the most efficient rider through the winter. The most important thing is that you are out there on your bike. Winter riding is not the time to go for personal records. It is a time to maintain your fitness on the bike and a great way to build you resilience to the elements. You will definitely notice the lack of crowds around trailheads. In fact, you might be the only one there. Relish in this fact and feel proud of yourself. It will probably even help you stay warmer.

I'm looking for lyrics to the song "Take a Ramble" or "Of All the Things the I Love Best" from the Beers Family LP "Introducing the Beers Family". My wife is not a very good singer, but what she knows, she knows, and this is one of the songs we can sing together without her losing the melodic thread somewhere-but we need the words. Help!

A stary night to ramble beneath the wintry nell Among the brush and bramble we'll kiss and never tell
Of all the things that I love best that fill me with delight It is to take a ramble all on a stary night
It's been a very long time since I heard this one, but I always loved it. Not sure if Bob wrote this or if it is old. It was always hard to figure with him.
I hope someone here knows where to find it.

A starry night to ramble through the flowery dell,
Of all the things that I love best that fill me with delight,
I know a gal who'll ramble, down by the wishing well.
Across the hill and down the lane, my love and I will go.
We'll stand beneath the old oak tree, embrace and linger there,

G'day Seth, Bill D & Luke,
The waltz tune Starry Night for a Ramble is still popular in Australia. I was asked if there were more words than the 8 short lines associated with it here and I came across an old London broadsheet, in material relating to Australian songs, tunes and versions, gleaned from the major UK libraries by Ron Edwards, an Australian folklorist.
I don't have the full words handty to this computer, but I will look them up tonight (actually, I think I posted them to DigiTrad, but they may not yet be in the latest version). Anyway, this version talks about popular pastimes of the big city - about 1855 - contrasting them with the simple pleasures of a ramble on a starry night with a "significant other".
As the song was popular (probably on the music hall stage) around the time many British packed up and came to look for gold in Australia (and America at much the same time) it probably spread widely and quickly. Here in Australia, all the guff about London pastimes was quickly forgotten and only the delights of a starry night remained (and it slowed down from the 6/8 jig remebered in Britain to a nice 3/4 waltz).
I am interested to see Bill D's (or the Beers family's) extra verses (which also completely forget the fashionable fripperies of Victorian London). Where do these come from geographically and how far back do they trace the song? I know that it was a very much loved song in Australia and have heard of a family being gathered around the death bed of an old man (grandfather of the person who passed on this tale), asked by him to sing this very song, the last thing he heard on this earth.
If my posted version is not yet in DigiTrad, I will pop a copy in this thread later tonight, after I get back form singing for country patients, down in Sydney for chemo or radiation treatments at St Vincent's Hospital.

G'day again,
I'm back at my own computer and this is an extract from material I posted in the previous thread. I know I should do a lovely "Blue Clicky" ... but these things never work after midnight - my keyboard turns into a pumpkin!
The Australian collected texts (tune is well-known and in the standard collections):
It's a starry night for a ramble
A Starry Night for a Ramble
From a broadside located by Ron Edwards in the Mitchell Library, Glasgow, 1985.
1. I like a game at croquet or bowling on the green,
The broadside is, of course, undated with no author named, but it is marked:
The term velocipede in the fourth stanza, appears (cited by the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary) about 1819 and, by 1849 was 'now obsolescent'. Croquet, in the first line is cited, in English usage, by the SOED from 1858 (although the game appeared in France in the 17th century).
There is another song printed on the same sheet: I'll Have Your Number, in which a policeman is called a Peeler. This term first meant an Irish constable (1817) but came to mean an English one after Sir Robert Peel's Police Act of 1828. The SOED first cites this use from 1851.
It may well be that such works of popular song would use idiomatic terms before they were seen by Oxford scholars in formal literature. The text reads like a recital of fashionable pursuits and, with the double entendre in the third stanza, suggests an early Music Hall song.
From the internal evidence, it would seem that the song dates from the mid to late 1850s. The few lines that survive in Australia, the chorus and the second half of the first stanza, are those that do not refer to the fashions and habits of London.

wonderful, Bob! Tha really fills out the story!...the Beers album I have it on says that a 97 year old man sang a fragment of it for Bob Beers, who developed it and added lines!...Obviously, Bob didn't have the internet in the 1950s & 60s.....

G'day Bill D,
I'm glad that is of interest. I wonder if you could fill in this parochial antipodean on the Beers family? Where are they from and how strong are the folk roots to their songs? (Where do they record? What are some of their recordings?)
It is interesting to hear that they also encountered "a fragment of it". I wonder if it was the same 8 short lines we have in Australia.

Are you still out there?

I am particularly interested to see what the (presumed) American links are with what is a popular waltz in my part of Australia (and, apparently, a traditional jig in the UK).

G'day Bill D,
Thanks for that. I may not have got across that, as an Australian without a really deep knowledge of American performers I don't know anything about this family. I would still like to know where (what state, at least) they lived and it would be nice to know more about the depth of family links.
I am working on a running presumption that this song got to America in just the same way as it got to Australia: as a popular song in London at the exact time that so many people upped sticks and headed for somewhere that they might make a fortune. Some idea of the time of its arrival in America ... and whether it is still remembered ... and in which regions ... might help me see if this is a good theory or not.

Quite a bit more to say about the Beers Family, which I don't know near as much about as Sandy et al would. Bob Beers' wife was (is?) Evelyn, who played and sang old songs in a kind of art-renaissance style not much in vogue nowadays (think Richard Dyer-Bennett if that means anything to you). The daughter, Martha, was married for some years to Eric Nagler, a consummate fiddler/banjoist/singer who has been one of the most popular children's performers in Canada for many years.
The Beers family started the much-beloved Fox Hollow folk festival, a damn-near-perfect small trad festival in NY state near the Vt/Mass/NY corner which ran till the early eighties. Many Mudcatters would have been there--I know that's where I met Kendall Morse for example. There's a Mudcatter called "Hollowfox", wonder who that is?

G'day Willie-O,
Thanks for that background on the Beers family. I guess they would have been reasonably local to the Fox Hollow area, to start a festival there. I was really wondering (given my dating and theory in respect of the Australian version) if they had a goldfields background, but it looks as if they might be New York State locals (dating way back ... suggested by Dutch name 'Beers'?).

The Fox Hollow Festival, in Petersburg, New York, ran for fifteen years from 1965-1979 (or 1966-1980). It was held on the Beers family property. They put up a few choice performers and family members in their home, but for the most part, everyone camped out, setting up tents in the fields and woods of their large back yard. There was a natural amphitheatre in the woods a few hundred feet behind the house that served as the mainstage, and some of the outbuildings on their property (notably the lodge and a gazebo or two) served as alternate concert venues. They built a pavilion for dancing off to the right, and the field to the right of the house served as the parking lot, except that it often became a muddy mire in the process. Outhouses were also set up in a couple of places on the property--though the were more like outhouse hotels, with many compartments each. But they still smelled like outhouses. The Saturday evening dance was held in the town hall at the bottom of the hill (a half-mile away, with an elevation loss of some 200-300 feet--I used to walk up and down the hill!)
Petersburg sits astride Route 22, which runs North-South just inside the Eastern border of New York State, and the Beers family place was actually on the state highway that runs East-West from Albany to Williamstown, Massachusetts. Petersburg is some 20-25 miles East of Albany. It's a very hilly area, and the road from Petersburg to Williamstown crosses some very high steep hills that are considered locally to be mountains (a couple of thousand feet high). Bob Beers lost his life one winter in a car crash coming home from Williamstown and crossing those mountains in a winter storm.
His wife Evelyne Beers later married Don Burnstine, and the two of them continued the Fox Hollow Festival until 1979 or 1980. When they discontinued it, Andy Spence, an Albany local, began the Old Songs Festival to take its place, evenutally moving it to the Altamont Fairgrounds, in ALtamont, New York, where it continues to this day (last weekend in June--quite possibly the perfect small festival!) I last saw Evelyne when I sang with my chorus at the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall (a perfectly restored acoustic gem over a century old in the city of Troy, New York); Evelyne was on the Board that restored the music hall.

G'day Charlie Baum,
Thanks for that information. It gives me a good idea of the Beers Family and Fox Hollow. It doesn't do so much for the song, but that's folk music!
At least I can see that Starry Night probably was a song surviving in the Eastern States, rather than the goldfields song it was in Australia. I appreciate all the help I have had on this topic.

[The lyrics are exactly the same as those posted by Bob Bolton above, which he says came from a broadside. They begin:]

G'day Jim,
Yes ... the lyrics that I have worked by, for dating purposes, were reproduced, a decade or two back, by Ron Edwards, from the material he sighted in a funded study of broadside collections in Great Britain ... looking for "Australian Colonial Period" (1788 to 1900) broadsides that either mentioned Botany Bay / Australia / convict transportation - or were songs since collected from folk sources.
I can look it up and give you the broadside publisher ... but there was no clear dating information, and I made my estimate from internal references and those in the other items on the same sheet(s). It turns out that I was pretty accurate, given the 'legitimate' publishing date that other researchers have, since, quoted (~ 1854 ...?). That certainly explains why it was so important to those who came here in the Gold Rushes ... starting early 1850s.

G'day again Jim,
Gawd ... doesn't time fly! Ron Edwards' first book of facsimiles of Colonial Australian-relevant broadsides actually came out 2½ decades back! This is what I noted from my copy - and mentions what suggested my first 'dating':
The broadside source for A Starry Night For A Ramble that was reproduced in The Convict Maid, Australian Folklore Occasional Paper No. 16, Ron Edwards, The Rams Skull Press, Kuranda, 1985 was a small broadside (250 x 190 mm) 'Printed at the Catnach Press by W. S. Fortey, 2 & 3 Monmouth Court, Seven Dials'.
Edwards found this copy in the Kidson Collection, vol. 1, page 43, Mitchell Library, Glasgow. The text includes, among fashionable London diversions, Croquet (OED: 1858 "... was introduced into Northern Ireland some twelve years ago from a French convent.]", and velocipede (OED citations between 1818 & 1850), which are evidence that both terms would be popular by around 1850.
It was printed next to another song: I'll Have Your Number, which includes the term 'peeler' for a policeman, first cited by the OED in 1817 ... in Ireland ... and later for London.

G'day GUEST / 20 Aug 11 - 07:36 AM,
The broadsheets cited above, from Ron Edwards research trip in the 1980s, were widely published in the 'mid-1850s' ... all round Britain and Ireland.
I gather there is at least one dateable printing from a London song sheet printer in 1854. This suggests why it remained such a 'nostalgic' song for the descendants of those who came to Australia in the "Gold Rushes", from ~1852 onwards.
Samuel Bagnal may well have printed a copy a generation ro so later ... but the original clearly pre-dates "the 1870s". The Beers Family (re-worked) version almost certainly has a parallel path from the slightly earlier Americam Gold Rush.

Sometime in the early 1960's I collected a version of this from an elderly man in Ashbourne, Derbyshire. He told me what a popular tune it had been at dances in his youth. I recorded him singing it on a 12inch reel to reel machine, along with several other recordings made in the Notts/Derbys area. Shortly after doing this I loaned the tape to someone who was 'Very intersted in folk music.' When it came back his kids had recorded pop music over the top of it. A hard lesson. All I remember about my informants version is that it began 'Some like a game of croquet.' He had a couple of music hall songs, one of which concerned a bloke who courted a girl in the rain. When their child was born it had an umbrella birth mark. I also remember the fine tea his wife laid out for my visit. Burl

G'day Burl,
Would you have any 'dating' for your informant's "... dances in his youth ..."? Since the song was a long time favourite waltz tune - out here in Australia - I can well imagine it being just as popular in Britain ... just on its musical merits.
In (Colonial) Australia, it had the additional grabber of being a nostalgic memory of London (either home ... or departure point ... for many of those who came freely to Australia - lured by the chance of gold.

Greetings Bob, Very good to hear from you. Unfortunately I don't now have the notes I made at the time of recording. I can't even remember the man's name. But I do recall that it was in 1968, not 'early 1960's' as I quoted in my other posting. My bloke was elderly, but perhaps not quite as old as I thought at the time, me being in my 30's then. My guess is that he would be around 65
The song was written by Samuel Bagnal, 1836 - 1655. In 1904 it was recorded by the Haydn Quartet, in Philadelphia, for the Victor label. The Haydn(pronounced 'Hayden') Quartet was a popular group of the time, singing in what we might now call 'Barbershop style.' II hope this is of some use to you.All the bes, ROY

G'day GUEST 26 Sepr 12 - 03.33,
That versiion seems to be an interesting American "re-treading" of the remembered (... non-Victorian London ...) chorus - with new verses different from the circa 1850s street songsheet that spread all over the countries of the mid 19th century gold-rushes.
Here, in Australia, it seems, mostly, to have been nostalgically remembered only as the 'romantic chorus' ... and danced widely as a waltz tune!

CLOSE on the heels of "The Pink Panther," which introduced Peter Sellers in the role of a bumbling Parisian detective, Inspector Jacques Clouseau, there comes another go-round with this explosively comical sleuth that makes his previous exposure seem like a warm-up for an out-of-town show. The title of this new adventure is "A Shot in the Dark," and it opened yesterday at the Astor and the Trans-Lux East.It's an utterly wacky entertainment, and if the title sounds familiar it's because it was plucked from the Broadway stage play, which was adapted from a French play by Marcel Achard. But, believe me, the title and the issue of a maid in a French family accused of murdering her Spanish lover are the only tangible ties to its nominal source.For this is but vaguely the story of the naughty but nifty maid and of her whimsical attachment to her urbane employer. It is essentially the story—or let's just call it the vehicle—of the sleuth who is sent to find out who murdered that fellow lying dead on the floor.With an output of comic invention that goes far beyond the matter of the style of the comparatively sophisticated trifle that was played here on the stage three years ago, Blake Edwards and William Peter Blatty have fashioned an out-and-out farce that puts no tax at all on the mentality but just plunges from gag to gag. And they have got Mr. Sellers to plunge with it in the joyously free and facile way that he has so carefully developed as his own special comedy technique.No sooner does his stalwart-faced detective arrive on the murder scene, a handsome home in Paris, all set to nab the murderer in a moment, than he stumbles into a fountain and gets himself thoroughly drenched. And that's how he stays throughout the picture — figuratively, at least — all wet, while he fumbles and stumbles to unravel a progressively more remote mystery.But the mystery doesn't matter. It is how Inspector Clouseau tackles it — and especilly how he tackles Elke Sommer as the fantastically toothsome maid. Right off, he assumes she didn't do it. She's too pretty and comforting. His suspicions turn naturally to George Sanders, the wealthy owner of the place. In a hilarious billiards game with him, he gets all tangled up in cues and clues. Only all of the latter are as aimless as the warped cue with which he tries to play.And while the detective is blundering all over the place — bumping into furniture, snagging crucial areas of his clothes, falling out of windows, pursuing Miss Sommer to a nudist camp v his nervous superior, Commissioner Dreyfus, played by Herbert Lom, is frantically trying to remove him — by murder, if need be — need the case. A series of near-miss encounters with a would-be killer in a succession of nightclubs to which the inspector and the maid go provides some of the liveliest action and some of the wildest humor in the show.It is mad, but the wonderful dexterity and the air of perpetually buttressed dignity with which Mr. Sellers plays his role make what could quickly be monotonous enjoyable to the end. And the running gags are excellent, particularly one involving frequent bouts with an Oriental houseboy who is learning karate from him.Miss Sommer is not only lovely. She also makes a bright comedy foil. And Mr. Sanders, Mr. Lom and many others are apt and adroit in their roles, under Mr. Edwards's direction. The whole thing is colorful, gay — and Henry Mancini's music is as sassy and frivolous as the film.

Occasionally, the local NBC affiliate in Denver interviews CFP® professionals on money matters; often members of the FPA of Colorado. To those viewers, their names become top of mind whenever it comes time to search for financial planners.
Being quoted in the media—print, digital, TV or radio—has served as a great marketing tool for some FPA members, a few told me recently for the cover article in this month's Journal of Financial Planning.
Mychal Eagleson, CFP®, president of An Exceptional Life Financial, said completing FPA's media training was a smart marketing move for him. Members go through the training and then have access to reporters and writers who need input from financial planners. When reporters fill out an FPA MediaSource request, it's distributed to members who have completed the media training, and they can respond via email or call the reporters up and answer questions.
"I recently used MediaSource and was quoted in an AARP Magazine article," Eagleson said. "I've had two prospects who saw that article and called me because of it."
Eric Roberge, CFP®, founder of Beyond Your Hammock, said in an FPA member profile that the FPA media training was invaluable in helping him attract new clients and impress his current ones. Participating in the training helped him build a media platform and be quoted in CNBC, Entrepreneur, InvestmentNews and USA Today. After the USA Today article, a high school classmate he hadn't talked to in more than 20 years contacted him to talk finances. Another high-earning young professional contacted him after reading the same article.
"The FPA media training and media queries are an incredible way to help me expand my platform to people across the country," Roberge said.
Being quoted in articles and on TV isn't just a way to prospect, it also affirms for current clients that they made the right choice.
"When clients see my name, they say, 'Oh congratulations, we saw you in this article and we were blown away,'" Eagleson said. "It's a testament."
Serving as a resource to the media is commonly among the top public relations tips for financial planners.
"The better the relationship [with reporters], the more opportunity you will have long term," Ben Lewis, director of public relations for FPA said in a recent Financial Advisor article.
The article indicated that if you build positive relationships with reporters, you'll
continually get quoted, leading to more exposure to potential clients for you.

Select Finance & Banking Clients
Selling Financial and Banking Services in a Changing Environment
In today's world of finance and banking sales, it's not enough to win clients; you need to keep them. However, this is difficult amid increasing competition, fewer differentiators, and weakening trust. At Richardson, we believe that the way forward in selling financial services is with a consultative approach.
Today, technology is the primary tool of finance. However, digitization creates a divide between the seller and the buyer. As a result, competitive strategies in selling financial services focus largely on price. Too many sellers have let this commodity approach break up the team and distract them from the client. In the end, buyers are left uncertain in a fluctuating market.
More investors are deferring their financial decisions to technology. Evidencing this trend is the phenomenon of the financial technology (fintech) sector. McKinsey reports that almost $23 billion of venture capital flowed to these fintechs in the last five years.
This figure is poised to grow, given that inflows in 2014 alone were $12.2 billion. This development presents financial advisors and bankers trying to sell their services with the challenge of communicating the value of a customized approach in a world focused on price. Research from Deloitte found that 36% of customers want personalized services. However, many are not getting these tailored solutions. Sellers are isolated from client needs. The lack of communication creates uncertainty among buyers. Learn more about trends affecting financial services sales professionals in the brief: Selling in the Financial Services Industry.
Win More Clients with a Consultative Approach
Richardson's financial services and banking sales training programs teach sellers to initiate a dialogue to build this missing buyer relationship. At Richardson, we've guided sales teams to better performance by teaching them to understand the uniqueness of the buyer's problem through a consultative approach. The success of this strategy has led to partnerships with:
- 74% of the Fortune 1000 Commercial Banks
- 63% of Barron's top 40 Wealth Management firms
- 60% of the world's top 40 Asset Management companies
- 93% of the top US Retail Banks
Delivering Results for Financial Services & Banking Sales Training Clients
Our solutions work because we can sell the total institution. Our customized style enables us to empower all sellers across the spectrum of financial services, like personal wealth management and personal and investment banking. Our sales training for financial advisers and bankers teaches six key elements of a dialogue, which leads to credibility and, eventually, the sale. Our client's success is our success:
- A global financial services company tripled its pipeline while shortening their sales cycle by six weeks. New deal sizes increased by 40%, leading to closing $67 million in business from a cross-sales referral program.
- Increased wallet share by 12% for a leading Canadian bank
- An increase of $125,000 per seller with a diversified financial services company, building to a $50 million increase in revenue — a return of $192 for every $1 spent on training.
Sellers in the financial services sector face a market in constant flux. Sales training for financial advisers and bankers needs to focus on a dialogue-driven, consultative approach in which these dynamic challenges are always in focus. When customers learn that you truly grasp their needs, they're able to move towards a decision and build momentum.

Buildings that have high levels of insulation can lead to the legionella thriving. Here, Anthony Barnett, Marketing Manager at Armacell, looks at ways to reduce the risk.
"Legionnaires' disease is a severe pneumonia caused by the legionella bacterium. People are most commonly infected when they inhale aerosols from a contaminated source. These fine sprays are created by heating and plumbing pipework, air-conditioners, swimming pools and whirlpools.
The bacteria multiplies where the water temperature is between 20-45°C and nutrients are available. As more insulation is incorporated into building designs it can result in cold water pipes warming above 20°C and in these situations legionella is a risk.
When this is combined with extended periods of stagnation it results in optimal conditions for bacteria growth. Traditionally, flushing systems have been used to beat legionella, although this is water intensive and relies on personnel carrying out the task on a regular basis.
Legionella – an open and closed case
Air conditioner contractors need to be aware of the facts of Legionella and how to communicate them to customers, as Tony Ellerker of Blakes M&E Building Services explains.
If there's one thing you can be sure of with regard to your customers, it's that they know how to use Google.

Interactions Between Flavonoids that Benefit Human Health
Interactions between anthocyanin pigments and other flavonoids or other phytochemicals accumulating within a plant contribute significantly to the ability of natural plant extracts (ingested as food or pharmaceutical product) to protect human health or mitigate disease damage. Interactions are the rule, rather than the exception, for biologically-active plant-derived components. Given the complex, multi-faceted roles interacting phytochemicals play in the human body, the use of plant cell culture production and research models can contribute novel insights as to competing mechanisms of action, bioavailability, and distribution in situ.

How to Build Your Audience on Google+
Posting frequently and measuring response are the best ways to build your audience on Google+ company page. The better the content you share, and the more of it you share, the more people will +1 and share your content — and the more people will discover you.
If posting regularly and targeting posts where you can isn't helping you build your audience appropriately on Google+, try these options:
Use people to share your page. You'll always see the best response on Google+ if you focus on people more than you do your brand. Get your employees and your Google+ customers out there promoting your new Google+ page. The more they talk about it, the more their friends will want it in their circles. Your page audience will naturally grow and become a complement to your existing audience.
Engage your audience. If they've already added your page to their circles, build a relationship with people. Highlight your most passionate or influential fans in some way. The more you can establish a meaningful relationship with your fans and customers, the more they'll stick around and share your page with their friends.
Start a Hangout or two. Hangouts are a great way to engage your audience and build awareness around your page. Since Hangouts appear on the side of Google+ amongst the friends in the Hangout, invite a few influencers to your Hangout and broadcast the Hangout via the On Air feature. A large audience has the potential of discovering the Hangout your page started — leading them to discovering your page.
Integrate Google+ Badges in your website. Adding to your website a Badge that links back to your Google+ page can be a great way of leveraging your existing website audience. Take advantage of your existing channels as much as you can to promote your new Google+ page.
Consider a Google AdWords advertisement of your page. Google isn't pushing this capability a lot right now, but there's no reason you can't do it. Consider creating a Google Ad Words campaign. You pay to advertise your Google+ Page for select keywords. You'll want to measure whether this converts well for you. If it doesn't accomplish your goals, you may not want to spend much money on this approach.

It's 1 p.m. on a Monday afternoon, and I find myself craving some sweets. I'm watching my weight, so a cupcake is out of the question. I reach for my Savinelli 645, considering what I should smoke. It's cold outside, so I want something that will impart some warmth but also satisfy this sweet tooth. I decide to crack a tin of Stanwell Vanilla.
The aroma of the tobacco that hits me as I open the tin works to further my excitement for smoking it. There are warm touches of vanilla bean in the tin note as well as an undercurrent of vinegar and dark fruit.
I sit down at my desk and slide out my Folding Tobacco Mat. I fluff the tobacco up to prepare for loading. The aroma strengthens. The tobacco is the perfect smoking humidity, dry to the touch but not brittle, which is a welcome change from other vanilla blends I've encountered.
I begin packing the pipe.
The mottled ribbon cuts of Burley, Cavendish, Oriental/Turkish and Virginia tobacco pack easily into the pipe. There is no aromatic goop as I pack; no stickiness either and this makes me happy, as I notice hallmarks of a quality fragrant smoke.
I pack the pipe to a medium tightness using the Goldilocks method. I set the rest of the tin aside to be jarred up later in a Ball jar. Once again, I must say that I love the tin note, which is quite sweet and inviting with the warmth of cupcakes cooling in the breeze of an open window on a quiet spring day in Kentucky. Hopefully, this will be better than any cupcakes, which will go straight to my gut.
Upon the false light, I find that the tobacco's scent of vanilla and dark fruit I smelled in the tin note intensifies with the heat. It lights well straight from the tin and requires no drying time, which is very handy. I get the feeling this blend will smoke well in anything, so long as you pack it nicely with a medium force. There are strong notes of fresh vanilla bean which remind me of my grandma's kitchen as a small boy. The taste of confectionary goodness comes into play.
You will find me talking quite a bit about my grandmother in my reviews and reminiscing about our time spent in the kitchen and on her farm. I spent a lot of time with her as a young child because both my parents worked on and off and they left me with her quite a bit. These are times I often reflect on as I smoke a good pipe; a farmland childhood.
I give it the true light, and the taste deepens but never builds to full strength.
The vanilla comes in heavy, but not overwhelmingly so, after it has rested and that is par for the course, but I begin to taste light tones of Hershey's Chocolate Syrup as well, just hints here and there, it never steps over the Vanilla.
The tart sweetness of dark fruits and raisins mix with the more onerous smashed vanilla bean and then settle on a base of Virginia summer hay and the spice of the Oriental/Turkish. It is a pleasing mix of aromas, although I may cellar the blend for six months to settle the vanilla and mix the flavors better, just a suggestion.
It smokes warm, but not hot. It's not a troublesome smoke, as many aros tend to be; you just need to watch your pacing, which is entirely acceptable for a blend such as this.
The burley comes in light, with a smooth smokey sweet taste under the others, followed by a tart tobacco taste from the Cavendish that I didn't notice till mid bowl.
The vinegar smell I found in the tin, which may turn some people off, was barely present in the final third of the smoke. Just a hint of sour tartness came through, which still may be a red flag to some. I found it neither pleasurable nor nasty; only there and I worked around it as I could.
The smoke itself is a medium thickness and inviting with a pleasant room note that is fragrant with the vanilla. It passes the "wife test" in that my partner Amanda found the aroma pleasing.
I finish the bowl with whitish gray ash, all the way to the bottom with no relights. An acceptable experience for an aromatic, although not fantastic due to a bit too much-unneeded complexity that wasn't for me. Other's may enjoy that aspect of the smoke.
I would say an idea smoking situation would be sitting on the porch on a cool spring afternoon with a glass of sweet tea. I'd smoke it in a pipe with a medium bowl and a more extended stem to cool the smoke. The nicotine is low as far as I could tell. It burns well; it's easy to prepare.
Other Tobacco Notes:
Stanwell's Vanilla is an acceptable smoke with quality tobacco. It burns nicely to mottled gray ash. No goop or doddle. And it remains middling for the whole bowl.
Strength Notes: This tobacco is of medium strength, while the nicotine is low.
Cut: The tobacco comes in a speckled mix of ribbon cuts.
Nicotine Strength: The nic hit is low without a noticeable tingle on the tongue.
Drink Pairing: I enjoyed this tobacco with a glass of sweet tea.
Smoking Time: Best enjoyed in the afternoon to relax. It had a medium to short burn time and took about an hour to smoke in a medium bowl.
Pipes Used: Savinelli 645 Piazza di Spagna. It works well in a medium bowl. I would have smoked this in a churchwarden, but mine was resting at the time. I think a longer stem would improve the experience. Otherwise, it will burn in just about anything. There is a chance of ghosting with a blend due to the topping, so keep that in mind.
Age When Smoked: Fresh from the tin.
3/4 Stars. An acceptable vanilla aromatic.

KC Gardens
What should I do about my hydrangeas now?
QUESTION: Like most of the KC area, my hydrangeas experienced a very unusual year; i.e. few/no blooms early in the season - but they were blooming when we had our first hard freeze in November.
I still have done nothing with them. They still have their leaves (like many of the local trees and shrubs). My question is........should I prune them back at the first opportunity of a nice day in January?
One group is Endless Summer and the other group is Glowing Embers.
Thanks very much for your insight. Foy
"Endless Summer" and "Glowing Embers" belong to a group of hydrangeas whose wood (including flower and leaf buds) can be killed during a hard winter by the cold or through dessication. They then have the ability to bloom on the new wood produced during the next growing season. That is why your hydrangeas bloomed late.
What to do now? Absolutely nothing. The old leaves will eventually fall off. As far as pruning, wait until the plants start to grow in the spring, then only prune wood that is dead, so as to preserve the flower and leaf buds that survive the winter. Fertilize in spring and again mid-summer, keep well-watered, and mulch the root zone to conserve moisture. Only time will tell if the buds on this past year's growth survive, but if not these hydrangeas will produce new growth at ground level and bloom later in the season.
Hope this answers your question.

Recently Oscar gave his foster mom a few "pointers" on car repair as she took on the task of replacing a light on her car. Apparently he knows his way around a tool belt but prefers to play supervisor instead of being hands on. Go figure.
Nigel is ready for summer
Nigel is enjoying the status of having his "flying wings" after his famous flight with Pilots and Paws. Now he's just relaxing and enjoying the good life at his foster home.
Lucy means business.
It's all fun and games until a critter ends up dead. Busy Lucy was helping out by hunting and guarding the vineyard from critters- and she did an excellent job!
More bed rest? Oscar protests.
Oscar can't catch a break. When he got the news that he tested positive for heart worm, he protested! No more bed rest! But even this can't keep this cutie down, he's still full of smiles and cuddles!
Zoey goes on an adventure
Zoey went on a two day adventure last week but she's safe and sound now in her foster home. She was aided in her return by a loving family who found her in the middle of the night. We are so happy she is safe!
Shelby in the garden
Shelby is getting adjusted to her new foster home this week and she's enjoying this beautiful spring weather in the garden.
Miss Jade landed in a fantastic foster home and never looked back! She found herself an active couple in the wine country to spoil her rotten and take her on lots of outdoor adventures. Good work Jade! Thank you to Carol and Mike for fostering Jade until she found her forever home.
Gidget learning to "settle"
She is doing a great job at learning how to "settle". She's a busy little GSP so it's not easy to learn to play nicely with her ball without getting to excited! She's getting ready for her next phase of Heartworm treatment.
Can't keep Oscar down!
His leg surgery went well…only a few weeks left on bed rest, he's doing his best!
Beach Babe Lady
Lady is doing great in her foster home. She's become a regular beach babe!
Good old Britches ended up in the shelter when his family surrendered him. We rescued him and gave him a bit of a tune up in foster care. Fortunately for Britches, a member of his former family who didn't know he'd been taken to the shelter came forward and wanted to take care of Britches for the rest of his life. Enjoy the rest of your time Britches, someone you know loves you very much. Thank you to Ron and Dr. Jyl for fostering Britches and helping him get healthy!
Juliette became a quick rescue favorite with her adorable GSP smile and her friendliness to all critters big and small. Juliette's new family has had several GSPs through the years and we think Miss Juliette's going to get some much deserved spoiling! Thank you to Catherine and Mac for fostering Juliette and to Vicki for working with the adopters!


text: Blog How to Find the Cause of Drafty Windows January 20, 2017 There is a stage every Woburn winter when you can't uncover the root of the draft in your home. It could possibly be originating from a window that isn't shut or sealed properly. Even the slightest of cracks can make homes unpleasant and cold, hypothetically resulting in: Cold air escaping into your home Higher heating and cooling costs Consistent with the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star program, you can save 10 percent on your monthly energy bill, or 20 percent of your heating and cooling costs, with properly sealed windows. To help cut back and reduce drafty air from flowing into your home, it's essential to be able to recognize where these window drafts may be coming from and why. Here are some beneficial tips to find your Woburn home's drafts and inspect for issues: Examine for gaps and cracks in unusual areas of air leakage, such as knee walls, outdoor faucets, attic access points or just the normal windows with operable abilities and use a straightforward visual inspection. Examine to confirm that windows and doors are shut and latched. Make sure that the sealant or gasket near the workable portion of the window or door is correctly sealing. Check the installation by determining if the draft is passing through the window or around the window, between the window and the harsh opening. A window will only perform as well as it is set up. Call a specialist from Pella Windows and Doors in Woburn to have them perform a home energy audit. Once you've identified where the draft or air leakage is coming from, the next step is to address the cause of the draft or air leakage. As always, give the pros in Woburn a call at 781-935-4947 with any additional questions or prospective replacement needs. Back to Blog

Sankatmochan Mahabali Hanuman 12th May 2015 Written Episode, Written Update on TellyUpdates.com
Shri Krishna's wives wonder about the dream. How can an apsara give birth to a vanar? Her name was Punjisthala whereas the woman in the dream was referred to as Anjana. Rukmini smiles. Punjisthala was seeing her future in dream. She had to be born as a lady named Anjana to give birth to Hanuman. It all happened due to a curse. The wives wonder how Punjisthala could be cursed when she was a devoted devotee. Who cursed her and why? Shri Krishna says nothing happens without a reason in this world (sin / curse / good deed / good end result). Punjisthala had been very given a very big responsibility. She had to acquire a curse for that. She was as devoted to Dev Guru Brihaspati as she was to Lord Shiva. She was always seen taking care of him. She made a rudraksh rosary once to make him happy.
Punjistahala offers rudraksh rosary to Guru Brihaspati. He in turn blesses her with the boon of a soon. She is taken aback though. He too wonders why he said so. I am sure Goddess has made me say it. She reasons that apsaras never become a mother. He too is confused but knows that it is not impossible. You too will give birth to a baby boy. He will be an intelligent, brave and an immortal person. He will be praised everywhere by everyone. The journey of this rosary has just begun.
Shri Krishna says Punjisthala started forgetting this incident as a few days passed. One day she went towards the earth while she was roaming around. Punjisthala is amazed by the beauty of earth. You see a new scene / incident / witness a new feeling or emotion here every second. Her journey is suddenly halted. She notices a big light emanating from the earth and go down in the forest to see where it is coming from. She notices a rock shining brightly and is fascinated. Her friends try to stop her but she goes ahead and picks up a smaller stone to clean it. She backs off when another ray of light shines from that spot. She pulls a stick and suddenly there appears a yogi. She immediately apologizes to him. I have broken your tapasya. I had no idea you are inside. I could see a vanar in the soil. He is all the more miffed now. Vanar is actually inside you! You are like one vanar. He curses her. You too will become a vanari!
Jamwati cannot understand how Punjisthala could be so naughty. Shri Krishna says it was done so by me (his yogmaya). Whenever my interference is needed in the world then Yogmaya does something or the other to disturb people. There is always a reason behind everything, a bigger aim! Mata Kaikeyi used to love Shri Ram just like Bharat. If she wasn't troubled then how would have Shri Ram gone to exile and how the other events would have followed? Yogmaya prompted Dev Guru Brihaspati to bless Punjisthala with a kid and made the yogi curse Punjisthala this way.
Punjisthala bends down on her knees to seek apology from the Yogi. He says I have been on maun vrat since so many years. These words cannot be undone or be false. I cannot take them back even if I want to. Neither of us is to be blamed for it. Lord has chosen you for this. You will have to give birth to Lord Shiva's ansh. She looks at him in amazement. You will get back to your apsara avatar after a few years. You will be able to return to Swarg then.
Shri Krishna's wives are happy that Punjisthala was an apt person. Plus she was so talented. Is Hanuman also interested in singing? Shri Krishna shares that Hanuman forgets everything whenever Hanuman sings. He becomes the song himself. There is a very interesting incident related to that. Dev Muni Narad challenged Hanuman to a singing competition when he heard the praises of Hanuman (singing). Jamwati knows that Dev Muni Narad is the ultimate music Guru. No one can stand before him.
Narad ji is at Kailash. He tells Shiv Parvati ji about an incident where the apsaras couldn't stop themselves after hearing his song. It was such an amazing scene. It would have been great if you were there too. Shiv suggests Narad ji to create the same magic here. Narad ji wishes for as great a company as the apsaras in the Swarg. Shiv ji suggests calling Hanuman in that case. Narad ji is amused. He can only play some instruments. Shiv ji says no one can stop themselves after hearing Hanuman sing. Narad ji agrees. Let's have a competition in Kailash today. Shiv ji thinks of Hanuman ji and he appears there just then. Hanuman ji greets them all. Shiv ji tells him to sing from his heart today. We are all waiting to hear you. Hanuman ji repeats Narad ji's words. I just take Shri Ram's name in my bhajan. Shiv ji wants to hear just that. Hanuman ji sits down to sing. Everyone is mesmerized hearing him sing including Narad ji. It has snowed because of his song.
Precap: Shri Krishna says Lord Shiva only did all those acts in Bal Hanuman's avatar. Brihaspati knew that Anjana and Kesari will surely meet. Lord Shiva was the script writer of Anjana's love towards Kesari after all.

William Caine, judicial official, later civil servant, was listed as a resident of Hong Kong from 1841 to 1859. He was Chief Magistrate between 1841 and 1844. He held the positions of Colonial Secretary and Auditor General between 1846 and 1854. He was appointed Sheriff of Hong Kong in 1846. He was an ex officio member of the Legislative Council between 1843 and 1845, and of the Executive Council in 1850 He was a Justice of the Peace (official) between 1843 and 1850[1]. He was a member of the Royal Asiatic Society, China Branch in 1850. Hollywood Road was listed as his address in 1850. He retired and left Hong Kong in 1859. He received his first pension payment of £1,060 from the Hong Kong Government on January 16, 1860. Caine died on September 10, 1871.
Military records, British Army, Rank: Captain; Brevet Major; Service: 26th (Cameronian) Regiment of Foot.
Caine had four sons: George Whittington Caine (born in Inida in 1832)[2]; Henry Monteith Caine (born in Calcutta in 1838); William Hull Caine (born in Hong Kong); and Charles Henry Fearon Caine (born in Hong Kon in 1846)
[2] George Whittington Caine entered the British Consular Service in Hong Kong in 1851 at the age of 19. He became the first British Consul in Swatow in 1860, a position he held on until 1868. He was given by the Qing government an official Chinese name of 堅佐治. After Swatow, G.W. Caine was appointed British Consul in Hankow and remained in that post until 1872 whereupon he resigned from the Consular Service. He moved to Sydney, Australia in early 1873, and was joined by his wife and their eight children in April 1873. A few weeks following the arrival of his family, he was arrested on charges of embezzlement of money belonged to the Crown when he was in charge of Britain's affairs in Hankow. The amount he was charged for was 9,137 Mexican dollars. He was sent back to China and was brought to trial at the British Consular Court (probably in Hankow) on August 6, 1873. The jury returned a general verdict on the whole indictment that stated, "We find that the prisoner took the money without any fraudulent intention.". Instead of dutifully acquitting G.W. Caine according the verdict, the judge charged the jury afresh and describing to them what their verdict should be, and in fact suggesting that the verdict should be on the several counts. The jury at last delivered a verdict of guilty with a recommendation to mercy. None was given, George Whitington Caine was sentenced to two years' imprisonment.
G.F. Caine had three children: William Henry Attwood Caine, Guy Caine and Lillian Caine. W.H.A. Caine, who was born in Hong Kong on December 19, 1859, was listed as the manger of a large ranch in north-western South Africa owned by a London-based company at the time of the Anglo-Boer War.

We even put a smile on their face to let people know they're happy."
When gifted young inventor, Aleksander journeys to the hallowed city of Robotika he is thrilled by the technological marvels of the Steam Age. And thanks to the Industrials, those strange boxheaded, robot servants, here everyone is able to laugh and play all day long.
But when Aleksander meets "Daisy," a shy young robot-maid, he begins to suspect that Robotika is more than it seems and that the people's newfound happiness may come at a terrible price.
Together the two friends will discover the truth behind Robotika's shining facade, and go on to lead an Industrial Revolution of their own.

"Terrific theatre for kids aged 7-10, a rare thing in children's theatre.
Elissa Blake
"Lewis's new play is well on the way to becoming an engrossing theatre experience for adults as well as its target audience, children aged eight and up."
Sydney Morning Herald
"I felt a shiver tingle across my skin and a tear form in my eye as we watched one friend save another and were reminded that not everything is about ambition, work, lifestyle... And sometimes it takes a play like Aleksander and the Robot Maid to remind us of that. I urge you to go... I loved it."
Augusta Supple
"My two eight year old guests were gripped by this story and despite some scary moments they both loved it.
