Yesterday we bought our crib and dresser/change table for the nursery.
This felt like a much bigger deal than I expected. Firstly, it felt as though we were telling the world we really believe one day that a little baby will sleep in our house and need a bed. As much as my ever expanding belly is telling the world this already, it feels as though we were still trying to keep it quiet in many ways. We had been very slow to make purchases. Even though it felt like I was buying lots of clothes since we knew we were team blue, I still felt a little fraudulent, or at least presumptuous.
I still go back and forth between feeling overwhelmed with gratitude for this blessing, and fearful of having it taken away. My prayer has been for greater intimacy with Jesus whatever it costs but I am afraid that a way God will chose to draw us into intimacy with him will be to take this away. Not out of punishment, but in His divine wisdom and as part of His greater sovereign plan. My prayer continues to be that our lives would be fully for him, but recently they have of course included pleading for our baby boy to get to live a life in this world. I am not consumed by fear by any means but I am painfully aware that I do not deserve this, and I do not know what our future looks like. God's best may not be my plan.
I trust that this child is made in God's image. I trust that each day he is growing healthy and strong God's purpose for him is being fulfilled. All that to say, buying a crib brings many fears to the surface. It will be in our home, waiting for our baby to come. Once it's here, its here. It's a key player in transforming our office into a nursery and it shouts loudly, "these folks are planning to have a baby."
I am not sure when it will start to feel like I am confident to officially be planning. Perhaps 24 weeks; fetal viability. Of course, having him come that early would be far, far, far from ideal, but at least the medical staff would try to help him. Perhaps 30 weeks pregnant will be the start of the official planning. All I know is that I am praying my heart will continue to find peace in this pregnancy and that God will continue to keep our son healthy and strong.
When we began the adoption process, I found a book online called "For this child I prayed" and its all prayers based on scripture for parents to pray over their children. They are beautiful prayers. I would sit in the room we wanted to be our nursery and pray over the children we would call our own. Little did I know that we would have the blessing of praying them over our own biological child. Each night J and I take turns choosing a prayer and praying it over our son. Prayers for strong faith, good character and deep friendships to name a few. Prayers are also for us as parents and we are very aware of our need for those! We so desire to raise our boy to be a man after God's heart. This child is well covered in prayer, not just ours but those of family and friends everywhere and for that we will be eternally grateful.
Our baby boy is an answer to so many prayers, and we are thrilled that God chose this way to answer them. We hope and pray that we will get to introduce our bundle to all those who have invested their hearts in prayer for him and for us. And even if God chooses to take him home tomorrow, I am forever thankful to have been his mother for the last 5 months. I will never forget the power and miracle that prayer released. That gives me peace, and hope for the months ahead.

Eating Around the World – Sweden
Sweden was a country I hoped the boys would choose eventually. They said they wanted to eat food from where vikings lived, did they mean Sweden? Yes!!
Viveka had given me the idea of Laxpudding and what a great idea it was. It's like the ultimate in comfort food. Sliced potatoes, layered with chunks of smoked salmon baked in cream and eggs, topped with melted butter, I cannot see anything to dislike about that. The boys enjoyed it, although The Fireman wasn't so keen on the bits of custard between the spuds.
For dessert we made Swedish sticky chocolate cake (Kladkaka). Unfortunately I cooked this a little too long, even though I reduced the cooking tie from 35mins to 28mins knowing our oven cooks very hot. So it wasn't sticky in the middle, but served with a generous blob of honey ice cream and it still tasted delicious.
The previous day we headed to IKEA as we had Sweden on our minds and it was tipping it down. So we arrived and played in the OUTDOOR playground in the rain anyway. Then headed inside for meatballs and chips, The Fireman insisted he had lingonberry sauce too. The Farmer however preferred fish and chips. Anyway we ran riot around the shop trying out every bed, seat, rug and light switch until we reached the ice cream machines at the end, the sole reason for visiting IKEA.
We also picked up a box of pepparkakor biscuits which we took home and decorated, then made viking helmets out of a weetabix box, modelled by myself, what do you think??
The Farmer has chosen Scotland next week, I shall be picking up adding a bottle of scotch to the shopping list, just in case, it is the school holidays after all.

One suggestion: Do you think there could be a section with recommendations for EXCELLENT prepper websites and other resources, besides Selco's? For example, there's Listening to Katrina, which someone else suggested. Excellent site. If we had recommendations like that in one particular section, it would make them easier to find.
Mainly, I'm thinking sites from people who have firsthand experience of disasters. For example, there's one page from someone called "Father Frog" who talks about someone's experiences with Hurricane Katrina, and a bit about Hurricane Sandy. http://www.frfrogspad.com/disastr.htm
And then there's the book "The Ultimate Suburban Survivalist Guide," which is also really good; part of it tells you how to prepare for the most statistically likely scenarios, namely, house fire and flood.

Cry Baby Politics: Scottish Labour leadership contest is being "rigged" says Labour MP Ian Murray, he also wants interim leader Alex Rowley kicked off the chair of a panel set up to vet new recruits, this campaign letter tactic is rather squalid and counterproductive and doomed to failure

All the suspect memberships should be scrutinised George. If they have the same email address and phone number I would suspect something rotten in the state of Denmark and suspend their voting rights till it's looked at. Speaking for myself throwaway email addresses are easy to set up as is the process of linking them to the one account for collection of any mail. It beggars belief that anyone could think that stuff like this would go undetected. Sometimes people are not as smart as they think they are.

Hi Freddy

Regardless of Sarwars past and inherited wealth. I would prefer him leader of the Lie@bour party. I don't like both of them but I don't trust that Leonard. This Richard Leonard is a privately educated career trade unionist - does that make sense? 'The trade union movement betrayed the people they are supposed to represent by supporting Blair/Broon' Leonard has never had a job in the private sector. All his working life he's scrounged off the public sector public purse. He really is one of the entitled. As a centre right socialist I would rather have the millionaire than the fake trade unionist as leader of Scottish Lie@bour.

Sarwar is at least a committed unionist. I don't want any Labour leader who is going to sell out and join the seps. Left wing Richard Leonard would help siphon votes from SNP/Greens - but that's no good at all if he ends up throwing his lot in with them.

The inherited wealth is not a problem the fact as a politician he is not wise enough to actually say to his family that not paying the living wage is bad press for me so even if it costs us money let's do it. That would have solved everything at one stroke especially if it had happenned before he decided to run. The allegations of tampering and loading the party with members if proven are well out of order I'm not a fan of the present leader of the UK labour party , as a member or any of his supporters but as george says he will never be PM . In fact if I'd been offered 50k I could have probably with no knowledge apart from what I know have done it a lot more untraceable . If we can reset the political and economic discussion a little more to the left rather than where it is now I would be happy.

New Morgan Sindall becomes one of the UK's largest forces in construction and infrastructure
A new force in construction launched today [7 June]. Morgan Sindall has become one of the largest construction and infrastructure firms in the country.
The new business, Morgan Sindall, has been created following a merger of Morgan Sindall Group plc's construction and infrastructure divisions which operated under the Morgan Ashurst, Morgan Est, and Morgan Professional Services brand names. Morgan Sindall Professional Services will trade as a separate company and will continue to work with internal and external customers.
Graham Shennan, formerly managing director of Morgan Ashurst, heads up Morgan Sindall as new managing director.
"Our decision to combine our strengths and multi-disciplinary skills under one roof has been largely customer-driven," explains Graham. "It comes at a time when all three businesses are increasingly working together in sectors such as transport, defence, energy, water, healthcare and education. The merger makes it much easier and more efficient for our customers to work with one joined-up business which can provide integrated services."
The new company which employs approximately 4,800 people across a national network of local offices provides integrated services on a number of large, complex projects for customers including BAA, Airbus, Defence Estates, Highways Agency, London Underground, National Grid, E.ON and Network Rail.
Major schemes Morgan Sindall is currently involved with include the £400 million Lee Tunnel project - a joint venture scheme for Thames Water, appointment to the Highways Agency's managed motorways framework (with JV partner BAM Nuttall) worth up to £2 billion, the Hull Building Schools for the Future framework worth around £250 million to the firm, and a circa £500 million, 10-year framework contract to deliver a programme of capital asset replacement and reinforcement for E.ON's Central Networks eastern region. The company is also working on two London station upgrade schemes at Paddington and Marylebone.
"We are all really excited about the new business which creates one of the biggest and most robust construction companies in the UK. It also creates significant new opportunities for further business growth and development," says Graham. He adds: "Our goal is to be the leading construction and infrastructure company in the UK by being the best at meeting customers' construction needs and delivering exceptional service."
Graham Shennan has formed a new executive board which brings senior directors from Morgan Ashurst, Morgan Est and Morgan Professional Services into leadership roles within the new business. They are Martin Pitt as commercial director; Stephen Scard, managing director of Construction South; Danny Murray, managing director of Construction North; John Jenkins, managing director of Morgan Sindall Professional Services; Chris Hughes, managing director of Tunnelling; Andy Crowder, managing director of Utility Services; and Jag Paddam, managing director of Infrastructure. The company's Rail work will be overseen by Jag Paddam and its Aviation sector business by Stephen Scard.
The new business will sit alongside parent company Morgan Sindall Group plc's three other divisions of fit out, affordable housing and urban regeneration which are supported by the Group's specialist investment unit, Morgan Sindall Investments.

Trucks & Vans
Ford Handicap VansWritten by Sierra Rein
Ford handicap vans have been in existence ever since the early 1980s. As one of the first companies to recognize the need for personal handicap mobility, Ford became a strong distributor of vans capable of lifting and storing wheelchairs and scooters. They soon rose to be considered one of the best sources of handicap vans on the market.
Today, Ford handicap vans are sleeker, more comfortable, and completely automatic. The Ford E-250, for example, combines luxury with down-to-earth problem solving technologies. It is one of the most popular fullsize handicap vans as it can be customized to fit many different passenger seat arrangements, lift options, and interior headroom sizes.
There are a few major types of lifts commonly found in Ford handicap vans. The most popular are the Braun Vangator and Vangator II lifts, which feature rear-mounted one-post support for tri-fold platforms, making the doorway space larger and easy to use. Also on the market are Ricon lifts, which are compactly designed, operational by powered remote, and strong enough to handle most wheelchair and scooter weights.
Ford Handicap Vans as Commercial Vehicles
Because of their tough build and long-lasting road tests, many businesses choose to purchase a Ford accessible van for their clients and customers. Hotels, hospitals, resorts, clinics and retirement homes use them to transport persons with disabilities from their business to their passenger's home. Many taxi's and airport transit businesses also choose to go with a Ford because of the name and the company's years of expertise regarding handicap transport.

IMMUNIZATIONS: CDC Finds Poor Children Get Fewer Shots
More poor children are receiving immunizations, but they still don't receive their shots at the same rate as children from wealthier families, according to a report in today's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. The National Immunization Survey found that the goals set by the 1996 Childhood Immunization Initiative were either "met or exceeded" for all U.S. children. That initiative strived to immunize at least 90% of the nation's children ages 19-35 months with three doses of diphtheria/tetanus/pertussis (DTP) vaccines, poliovirus vaccine, haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) vaccines and one measles/mumps/rubella (MMR) vaccine. They also aimed to immunize at least 70% with a minimum of three hepatitis B vaccines. Of the 22,393 children that the researchers studied, "children living below poverty level had significantly lower coverage for all vaccines." Ninety-three percent of poor children received the DTP shots, compared to 97% of wealthier children. For both the polio and Hib vaccine, 90% of underprivileged children received the shots, while 92%-94% of more privileged children received the shots. The study found a 6% gap (86% for poor children, 92% for others) in measles vaccination between poor and wealthier children and a 5% span (80% for the impoverished, 85% for others) for the hepatitis B shot. The study, which contacted respondents in each state and 28 urban areas through random-digit dialing, found "few statistically significant differences in coverage by race/ethnicity." In the study's editorial note, however, researchers emphasize that that many disparities in coverage among ethnic minorities is "partly ... accounted for by poverty level." The study concluded that more studies "are needed to determine how poverty is associated with undervaccination to target interventions and improve coverage" (MMWR, 9/13 issue).This is part of the California Healthline Daily Edition, a summary of health policy coverage from major news organizations.

I would LOVE some recipes for family style casserole dishes 🙂 My family is expanding by another child and I am awful at coming up with healthy recipes for the 5 of us!!
Peachick Approved: Clever Bees Club & Giveaway!
Entertaining three Peachicks during the Summer Holidays can be tricky at the best of times but finding something they not only agree on but doesn't involve hours in front of the Tv can be near on impossible. So when they were given the chance to review a brand new activity box subscription service from The Clever Bees Club they (and I) jumped at it!
The Clever Bees Club is monthly subscription service (£19.95 a month with discounts for longer subscriptions) that delivers a box packed with activities and surprises for 3-7year olds and aims to not only entertain but educate and support children's development in a variety of areas. The Mummy/Teacher in me is always on the lookout for activities that are fun and involve some education somewhere – the range of activities in these boxes are a big plus too!
There are so many activities included in this box that we still haven't done all of them! We have saved the cooking ones for tomorrow, the Peachicks are in charge of making Sunday Afternoon Tea – the recipes are simple but will need slight tweaking to make them allergy friendly!
Biggest Peachick story reading duties, while Millie did the sticker book in peace! This book is by Julia Donaldson, a Peachick favourite and has quickly become a favourite at bedtime! Sharing stories at bedtime is a great way to develop early reading skills, just ask the little people to tell you the story with the pictures!
To really road test this box though we roped in Daddy Peacock, he is the biggest kid around here after all! Despite the rain the Peachicks (and Daddy) spent a good couple of hours outside playing water balloon skittles and squirting each other with water before coming inside to complete his ice cube challenge! See the bottom of the post for a gallery of all the fun!
The Mummy/Teacher Verdict:
Personally I though the box was great it was filled with lots to keep them all entertained. As one of those educator types always banging on about the development of early reading and writing skills I was really impressed with breadth of the EYFS (and KS1) curriculum the contents of this box supported. Children's development in both the prime and specific areas was covered in some or all of the instructions supplied to support parents.
Encouraging children to have a go and experiment using the water balloons/water squirter and ice cubes build great PSED skills in confidence, resilience and perseverance. All the activities support children's Communication and Language development building skills in understanding, extending vocabulary and encouraging children's speech by talking about what they saw. Children's Physical Development in the EYFS covers motor skills and health and self-care; both were represented in this box with water balloons (gross motor skills), bath crayons (fine motor skills) and the flannel/toothbrush. Anything that gets little hands moving and encourages the development of both core muscles and hand muscles gets a big tick from me!
But the activities are not just suitable for the EYFS, its all about how you extend them. With Alys (8) we looked at the properties of bubbles, structure of ice & its melting patterns, how to stack cups to best withstand pelting from water balloons AND much more!! Pinterest is a good source of extra activities to stretch that box for the older children in the family – click to follow my water and ice activities board!
[pin_board url="https://uk.pinterest.com/PeachicksBakery/water-ice-activities/"]
The Peachick Verdict:
Alys: It's awesome. There is loads to do. My favourite bit was throwing balloons at the cups. I liked playing ice cube conkers because I found out something new!!
Millie: I love stickers so the sticker book was my favourite. I also enjoyed making a bee with the box and lifting up the ice cubes with the salt & string.
(Excuse the mess!)
Elodie: The box making the bee. It was cool. Blowing bubbles, the bubbles were pretty!
Every month there is a prize for the best bee made with the Clever Bee box and packing materials! Here is the Peachicks' entry Barney Bee!
Pin for later!!
[pin_widget url="https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/332281278739679561/"]

WEST COAST PREMIERE: In the early 19th century, a Colombian named Martina was investigated by the colonial court for being a hermaphrodite, after being accused by her female lover of having an "unnatural body." Meanwhile, in the Ottoman Empire, a woman named Nour is married off to the brother of her lover after her mother finds the two women together in bed. Part documentary and part fiction, the film presents these parallel stories as an imagined correspondence between the two women, exposing the ways in which medicine, law, religion, and tradition have shaped dominant discourses of the gendered and sexual body. Separated by geography, culture, and religion they both faced the consequences of defying sex and gender norms.
Deseos (co-written by Motta and Maya Mikdashi) will be preceded by Motta's Nefandus, in which two men—one indigenous, the other Spanish-speaking—travel by canoe through the "wild beauty" of the Colombian Caribbean, telling stories of pecados nefandos (unspeakable sins, abominable acts) that took place during the conquest of the Americas.
Carlos Motta was born in Bogotá, Colombia, and currently lives and works in New York. His work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at the New Museum, MoMA PS1, Institute of Contemporary Art Philadelphia, the Tate Modern, and the Sala de Arte Público Siqueiros in México City, among others. He has also been featured in group exhibitions at the Guggenheim Museum, SFMOMA, Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona, Witte de With, Jeu de Paume, and Castello di Rivoli in Turin, as well as in the Lyon Biennale, the Gwangju Biennale, the Gothenburg International Biennale of Contemporary Art, the International Film Festival Rotterdam, and the Toronto International Film Festival.
Deseos ⁄ تابغر [Desires] (2015) was commissioned and produced by Council (France) and co-produced by Hordaland Kunstsenter (Norway), MALBA, Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (Argentina), Röda Sten Konsthall (Sweden), Galeria Filomena Soares (Portugal), Mor.Charpentier Galerie (France) and with further support from Ashkal Alwan (Lebanon), DICRéAM (France) and the Göteborg International Biennal for Contemporary Art (Sweden).

Many well-socialised horses take so readily to new places and situations that it can be easy to forget that, as a species, horses are neophobes – in simple terms, they are frightened of new things and new situations. This trait stood their wild ancestors in good stead as prey animals: being suspicious of rustles in the bushes might mean the difference between life and death. A new environment is one in which the location of threats and resources is at first unknown – we have all seen a horse released into a new field exploring with a heightened awareness, all senses working hard to give the horse the information he needs. Horses are also herd animals, and in an established herd they have access to familiar resources, security, social relationships and the opportunity to 'just be a horse'. Moving to a new home challenges all of these aspects simultaneously. As humans, we find moving house or job stressful: Will we get on with our new colleagues or neighbours? Will we be able to find the things we need? Will new processes be hard to get to grips with? In general, people are sympathetic in these situations and give us time to adjust. Horses need the same consideration, particularly as they cannot be expected to understand why everything they are familiar with has changed overnight. There are a number of ways in which we can make the process of settling into a new home easier for a horse.
Other horses will be a source of both reassurance and potential conflict, as established horses (particularly in a herd situation) begin to integrate the new horse into their social structure. If possible, turning the new horse straight out with others should be avoided, at least partly to avoid the spread of contagious diseases. Rather, the horse should be given time to adjust to his new situation gradually. He should always be able to see other horses nearby, so that he knows he is not alone – a hugely stressful situation for a social prey animal – but should also be given time to become accustomed to his new surroundings. For those insecure horses who find it hard to be on their own, there are a number of things that can help – a stable mirror and quiet radio; a relaxed human companion for as much time as possible; or, if one is available, a very quiet horse next door who will give the new arrival the confidence to relax.
It is not always the best policy to let horses meet each other over a fence – remember that fences are responsible for more injuries to horses than other horses are. It can be better to keep two fences between resident horses and the newcomer until the health of the new horse is confirmed, before introducing a quiet herd member, or their new field-mate, to the new arrival in the same field. If the horse is to be turned out alone, it is important that fences are well-constructed and completely secure, to lessen the risk of injury. Particular care is needed with electric fencing, which is becoming increasingly common as a primary fencing material. A horse unfamiliar with electric fencing needs a careful introduction to it in a situation in which he cannot hurt himself or other horses if he panics.
Horses will settle better if a familiar routine is maintained, at least initially. Ask the horse's previous keepers abouttheir routine and management and try to copy it as far as possible. Feeding and turnout are important aspects here. It is well established that changes to diet should be made gradually, to allow the gut's microflora to adapt – an unsettled gut is an unsettled horse. However, this applies as much if not more to forage as to hard feed – the former, after all, makes up the bulk of a horse's diet. While it is clearly not possible to bring a supply of the horse's old grass to its new home, it is worth asking to buy a small supply of the hay/haylage the horse has been eating, particularly in the winter, when hay/haylage will make up the majority of the diet. Grasses and hays vary widely in their nutritional value by species and by location, so if a sudden change is unavoidable allowances should be made as the horse's digestive system becomes accustomed to the new fare. Consider giving a probiotic before, during and for a period afterward the move to help the horse maintain a settled tummy.
Like many people who have moved to a new area, horses are often sensitive to the smell and taste of new drinking water. Some may initially be reluctant to drink in a new home and a reduced water intake has potentially serious implications, such as colic. However, adding chopped apple or a juice from soaking sugar beet to the bucket can encourage even the most reluctant to drink, and adding extra water to feeds helps to increase intake.
A horse in work can be helped to settle by regular sympathetic exercise, and this can also be a good way to introduce new horses. But your new horse will also have to get used to a new handler and rider, who will apply the aids differently and have different standards and expectations, and usually unfamiliar tack as well. If it can be arranged, ride your new horse a few times in his old home before moving, so that you have the beginnings of a relationship when you bring him home. In his new home, try to keep the pressure on him to a minimum – don't ask him to learn new things immediately or expect him to deal with experiences such as traffic or livestock at once unless you are sure he is familiar with them. Even something as apparently simple as your arena surface may be very different from what the horse is used to, and his body will need time to adapt. Simple groundwork will help to keep the horse's mind and body occupied while building a trusting relationship between the horse and his new owner, but bear in mind that a stressed horse – just like a stressed person – is not in the right mental state to learn new things.
Every horse is different – they all have different temperaments, experiences, training and socialisation. Some are used to a busy show schedule while others rarely leave the yard. Some are used to a busy yard, some to a quiet yard. Some have been turned out alone all their lives, others have never lived apart from other horses. All these things need to be taken into account. While many horses will settle quickly, usually thanks to previous good training and experiences, some will find a new situation immediately stressful; others, by contrast, may initially appear to accept the new home, before beginning to 'test the boundaries'. However, such behaviours often result from insecurity and worry, and an initially subdued response may be another sign of stress. It is important that a new owner considers such behaviours from the horse's point of view and provides a reassuring presence to allow the horse to relax and gain trust.
Most horses will settle very well into a new home given a good routine, suitable feeding and consistent handling, but owners should always bear in mind that abrupt changes in environment, companions, lifestyle and nutrition are not natural, and horses are not naturally well adapted to cope with them. By following this advice, and giving the horse the time they need, you will be in the best position to achieve a stress-free move, resulting in a happy, settled horse and owner.

The Sixth Concert Series at Camphill Ghent is about to begin with a Recital by Pianist Gilbert Kalish
The Sixth Concert Series at Camphill Ghent, Gili Melamed-Lev, Director In my preview of last year's concert series, I believe…
Formerly the Berkshire Review for the Arts. Performances, Exhibitions, Articles, and Interviews about the Arts from the Berkshires and Hudson Valley
The Sixth Concert Series at Camphill Ghent, Gili Melamed-Lev, Director In my preview of last year's concert series, I believe…
Writing here recently about last season at the Boston Symphony, I had recourse more than once to the phrase "just notes going by" in response to Andris-Nelsons-led performances that I did not like (I did praise a number of performances as well). I am happy to say that I think no one would say "just notes going by" about the recent, September 28th concert which opened the orchestra's subscription series for 2017-2018. First, Nelsons and the orchestra and soloist Paul Lewis presented a definite view of the Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 4 in G-major, Opus 58; they had something to say with it. And the large Shostakovich Symphony No. 11 ("The Year 1905") which followed, seemed to come into its own and express itself as fully as one could imagine.
After only one season, its inaugural, The Berkshire Opera Festival has found a place in my affections no less than Bel Canto at Caramoor, where, since 1997, Will Crutchfield has presented an outstanding series of Bel Canto operas, thoroughly researched and correctly sung, and the annual opera at Bard Summerscape, where Leon Botstein continues to offer fully-staged performances of forgotten operas, which are sometimes more and sometimes less closely related to the composer on whom the Bard Music Festival focusses in a given year. Jonathon Loy and Brian Garman, co-founders and directors of The Berkshire Opera Festival, have chosen as their mission to present meticulously staged, impeccably sung performances of opera which are familiar to opera-lovers, but not among the overplayed warhorses of the repertoire. This made for a striking combination of Bellini's Il Pirata, which premiered at the Met in the autumn of 2002, its only run there; Antonin Dvořák's Romantic grand opera, Dimitrij, which was a great success in Prague during its first few years, but faded as the composer revised the life out of it, and has been very rarely performed in America; and Richard Strauss's Ariadne auf Naxos, which premiered at the Met in 1962 and was last performed in 2011 – strange bedfellows indeed.
Back in the LP days, if a singer wanted to show some sophistication, s/he sometimes put out an album of songs by famous composers set to the poems of one poet: for example, Phyllis Curtin's much-admired 1964 disc of Debussy and Fauré songs to poems by Verlaine, with pianist Ryan Edwards (available now as a CD from VAI).
Another excellent evening in the Oldcastle Theatre in Bennington. A uniformly fine and balanced cast riveted my attention in Neil Simon's Broadway Bound. The cast expressed the shape of this play with uncanny skill. I can imagine it seeming long, but not with these wonderful players.
he announcement of this concert at St. James Place came as a very pleasant surprise. There's no need to wait until June to hear an Aston Magna Concert! And that is certainly a event much-anticipated among early music lovers and Berkshire residents. Aston Magna regulars, Daniel Stepner, baroque violin, Laura Jeppesen, viola da gamba, Peter Sykes, harpsichord, and Andrea LeBlanc, baroque flute, will play excerpts from a central work by J. S. Bach, A Musical Offering, covering the basic styles of composition contained within it: canons, a fugue (ricercare), and a trio sonata, as well as sonatas—respectively for viola da gamba and violin, flute, and violin—by Buxtehude, Handel, and C. P. E. Bach. The selection from the Offering is especially sympathetic to the other works on the program, with the simpler ricercare (the one Bach was able to improvise on the spot, when Frederick the Great presented him with his theme and the challenge to write a fugue on it) and the Trio Sonata.

Clothes make the man. We all know this; there's no escaping it. Very well then society, let's play your game. I raise you a bespoke suit and a custom made silk jumper..
Joking aside, this is something that you need to do if you visit Hanoi. The city is filled with tailors and seamstresses. Walk into a shop and in under 24 hours you can have a bespoke suit. The quality will suffer, you scoff! Perhaps, but there's a shop right beside the one you're in that will take two weeks and the quality will be top notch. The Vietnamese have been making clothes for a long time now and excel in the trade. Many Western brands are produced in Vietnam which means you can buy name brands at a fraction of the cost that you would pay in the West. It also means they have a talented workforce that's looking to make money. The entrepreneurs among them start their own businesses and tourists luck out on the whole deal. Rip your pants? Tear your shirt? Stretch your blouse? No biggie, it can be repaired on the spot and while you're waiting you can pick up some fitted clothing.
We both wanted to get some handmade clothing and after some research found a few stores that we felt comfortable with. You're measured first and then you decide the fabric and style of the final product. Found some beautiful fabric in a market somewhere and dreamt of turning it into a gorgeous dress? Look no further.
Things move quickly at these shops. Sit back and watch the artisan do their work. The final product will speak for itself and you're one of many in a long line of happy customers. There will be a few return visits, mainly to confirm the exact measurements and look of the clothing.
Finally, the day comes to pick it up. It's exciting, for you at least. The shop keeper could care less – they know they do good work, hurry up and get out. It's a nice experience and one that many people have never been through. Clothing is so cheap and mass produced these days. Wearing properly fitted clothing is a real treat.
Damn, we look good.

Choosing any criminal lawyer to guard you will be stressful to state the the very least. There are numerous firms and also professionals almost all vying to your business, and navigating them may be tricky. While determing the best may take some searching, it must be easy in order to avoid the most severe. Here are usually four attorneys in order to avoid without exceptions.
Fresh Experienced
Choosing any legal rep fresh away from law university who approved the pub exam from the skin regarding his teeth can be a risky guess. Yes, there are numerous qualified and very skilled young attorneys that are just itching to work with you, and possibly even with a bargain fee. But for many individuals, the stress with the situation alone is enough and adding worries of trusting yourself to a younger upstart which might are consulting the particular books a touch too much to your taste may indeed put you on the edge. If you believe comfortable and at ease a legal lawyer that is fairly not used to the industry, then you should go because of it. If, nonetheless, you basically can't wring their not enough experience, seek someone challenging qualities that may ease your brain.
Too Particular
Specialist legal professionals are great. They perform primarily about certain forms of cases for instance grand robbery auto, home-based issues, assault, etc. Nonetheless, sometimes any criminal lawyer may be too particular. You need someone together with enough opportunity of knowledge to with certainty defend the case along with competently. Any time interviewing prospective attorneys, make sure you ask concerning specific latest trials. Note just how similar they may be to your own personal, but make certain that there are usually some distinctions, having any one-trick pony as the criminal attorney at law won't can you a coat of good until you need in which exact strategy to take you from the case.
Volume Over Top quality
Many instances you'll call up an legal professional and speak to them simply to discover you can find three and even four taking care of your circumstance. Many attorneys take about cases and dole out there tasks with a team as opposed to one certain attorney. Sometimes this is helpful, but additionally, there are times if the team doesn't are gelling or perhaps the offender isn't more comfortable with the circumstance. A thousands of mediocre and also bickering lawyers will not be as useful together who can easily devote the appropriate timeframe and research necessary for your circumstance. Ensure that you will be getting everything you pay regarding.
Ok, maybe there isn't such something as a reputable criminal attorney at law, but you will need to check directly into your attorney's legal historical past. Although unheard of, there are usually some legal professionals out right now there who shockingly are certainly not even qualified to guard you. Verify all experience, education, and also qualifications. It's also advisable to see if the lawyer has received any honesty violations registered against your pet. It will be illegal with an attorney to be able to withhold details from an individual, keep files, misrepresent consumers, and incorrect use funds among other items. While simply no lawyer is perfect, you want to ensure that yours must not be in imprisonment himself.

|October 1, 1863
|PRINCE EDWARD, Virginia
|Women, Education, Published Women
|"U.S. Women, 1790-1890," Wheaton College
|No votes.
The document entitled "The Next Term of This Institution will commence Thursday, October 1st, 1863" was a notice, authored by A. Preot, that described Farmville Female College. The information in the notice pertains to the term that was scheduled to begin on October 1, 1863. The notice included the subjects that were offered by Farmville Female College, as well as the courses of study that students could have expected to follow during their 3 years of study at the collegiate level at the college. According the to the offerings listed in the notice, the material to which the students could have expected to have been exposed involved a progressively more extensive investigation of the disciplines presented in the course of study as the students advanced through their education at Farmville Female College; for example, students in their first year of study could have expected to cover "Grammar" in French and Latin as well as "Arithmatic," in the subjects of language and mathematics, and "Botany" in the sciences, whereas students in their second year of study could have expected to focus on more advanced linguistic concepts such as "Prose Composition," in addition to "Algebra" and "Chemistry," whilst students in their third and final year of study could have expected to study "Rhetoric," "Trigonomety" and "Mental Philosophy." The courses that students could have expected to take, in each of the 3 years were more advanced levels of the same subjects, that would have allowed the students the opportunity to build an understanding of the material of each of the subjects, such as the use of language and the application of mathematics and the sciences. The notice included a list of the board of trustees of the college and a list of the instructors at the college. The notice also contained details about non-academic aspects of life at Farmville Female College, such as its location, and the options for religious worship that were to be made available to students. The expenses that students would have incurred at Farmville Female College were included in the notice.
The notice entitled "The Next Term of This Institution will commence Thursday, October 1st, 1863" displayed the greater educational opportunities that were available to Women in the nineteenth century. The material that was offered courses of study in the education that was offered at Farmville Female College, according to the notice, required that the students who, with their own products, received degrees from the institution, possess or learn the skills to read and write, because the curriculum included the study of written work, and required that the students produce "Original Compositions." The degrees of "Mistress of the Arts," or of "Mistress of English Literature" that were offered by Farmville Female College were comprised of the study of texts from multiple different cultures, such as English and Latin, which provided a contrast to the limited availability of higher learning to women; to whom, during the eighteenth century, the education available was focused on crafts, such as embroidery. The increased intellectual rigor of the subjects available to women in the second half of the nineteenth century represented the changes that had occurred in the expectations of women's intellectual activities during the eighteenth century and the nineteenth centuries. The increase in the intellectual rigor of the education available to women allowed them to publicly participate in intellectual pursuits in the form of published work; examples of which include the book entitled A New England Tale by Catherine Maria Sedgewick published in 1822 and the publication of Elizabeth Ricord's issue of the periodical entitled Circular, Report and Catalogue, in 1839. Ricord's publication and Sedgewick's literary contributions during the nineteenth century were examples of the ability of a woman to present ideas to the literate public that was made available to women as a result of the access to intellectual pursuits, which was made available to them by the fluency in intellectual debate that was afforded them by their education.

The VeeJay album was made in '64 in several versions.
The 1st was released on 10 Jan. There were 6,000 album covers printed, but no back cover was made. As a stopgap, VeeJay used a copy of one side of its standard inner sleeve, which had colour copies of 25 other albums the company offered This so-called "Ad back" cover is highly sought by collectors, & would have the greatest value.
When these were used up, a 2nd blank, all-white "Blank back" cover was issued. It's also quite rare & highly valued.
A 3rd edition was made with VeeJay's usual format, the album name on top, & the track listings in 2 columns below.
On 16 Jan., VeeJay was ordered to stop producing recordings of the songs "Love Me Do" & "P.S., I Love You," for which N. American publishing rights were owned by the publishing subsidiary of Capitol Records, because those songs hadn't yet been released in the U.S. About 80,000 copies were released with those tracks but only about 2,000 were stereo.
VeeJay re-configured the album, deleting those tracks & replacing them with "Ask Me Why" & "Please Please Me." These albums 1st appeared around 10 Feb. '64. VeeJay & Capitol bickered in court over the album until 9 Apr., with VeeJay turning out records between restraining orders. As a result, there are more than 20 label variations, manufactured at different pressing plants.
The license to create the album expired on 15 Oct. '64. While it was available, there were about 1.3 million monaural & 41,000 stereo copies sold.
I had an "Ask Me Why" mono copy that I bought in Chicago in 1964 on Memorial Day weekend. In 1967, I gave it to my 1st gf, to try to wean her off The Monkees. She was too dippy to get the message, so I called it quits with her. Her younger sister was hotter, & much more "pneumatic" anyway.

I had that Vee Jay that had fold out 3/4 width front. Here's one you might look for... I had a Capitol album that had Beach Boys on one side and Beatles on the other... never seen that listed anywhere, but then again haven't looked too hard....

They are not rare, and rarity is what determines value. If diamonds are as common as sand for example, then it would be about as valuable as sand.

Sacramento Creek Ranch
In the spring of 2019, Mountain Area Land Trust (MALT) acquired the land and assets of Beaver Ponds Environmental Education Center (BPEEC), a 70 acre property located near Fairplay on Sacramento Creek and bordering the Pike National Forest. Moving forward the property will be known as Sacramento Creek Ranch and owned and managed by MALT, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization.
MALT has had a long relationship with the founders of BPEEC, Al and Terry Hershey, and MALT has worked collaboratively with staff at the center since 2014. Together they have partnered on many projects to protect and enhance the natural resources of the South Park National Heritage Area. MALT looks forward to the next chapter as it embarks on a plan to fulfill its mission for land and water conservation, education and outreach, and establish a base in Park County for its operations.
Sacramento Creek Ranch is just minutes away from MALT's 92 acre property located at Pennsylvania Mountain Natural Area. Learn more about the Pika Trail and the high altitude research that has been conducted there for over 45 years at Pennsylvania Mountain.
A Message from the Founders:
Dear Friends of Beaver Ponds:
As you may know, Beaver Ponds has been challenged financially since its inception. Without a clear path to financial stability, the Beaver Ponds Board of Directors has decided that it no longer has the financial capacity to continue operations. Beaver Ponds will cease operations on Friday, April 5, 2019.
It saddens us to realize that we are not able to carry on the work of educating people on how to be better stewards of the earth but take joy in knowing that Beaver Ponds has made a difference in many lives over the last 7 years.
But there is good news as well.
The Mountain Area Land Trust (MALT), a wonderful organization in Evergreen CO that Beaver Ponds has worked closely with over the last 5 years, will acquire the land and assets of Beaver Ponds and take over management of the property. They will protect the property and use the base as an outreach center for their conservation efforts. They will assess the programming that has been provided by Beaver Ponds in the past and determine whether they will launch some of the same programs sometime in the future.
The Beaver Ponds property will become known as Sacramento Creek Ranch. (Beaver Ponds was always technically known as Beaver Ponds at Sacramento Creek Ranch so we are delighted that MALT has decided to use the ranch name.)
We cannot thank you enough for the support you have given us over the years. And look forward to MALT sharing more good things happening at the property as MALT and its outstanding staff write the next chapter.
With much gratitude,Al and Terry Hershey
A Vision for Sacramento Creek Ranch
Conserve and showcase Sacramento Creek Ranch.

Recently my wife Wendy was covering in the shop whilst I was out and she accepted a delivery from the wholesaler for a case of thirty T Cut Metallic Colour Restorer. She then opened the case and put some out on the shelf removing my chance to send them back. I only ever order six at a time.
Yes, technically on this occasion, I may have ticked the wrong box on the wholesaler's order form, but that's a result of them needlessly changing their brochure design to incorporate more special offers and manufacturers' adverts. But, even if I take into consideration that the manufacturers at Tetrosyl Limited, Bury have clearly worked hard to make the use of their product "Now even easier", I can't see how I am going to sell thirty until 2013.
Incidentally, how can a car polish be "Now even easier" ? You put it on a cloth; then on your car; leave it and then wipe it off ! I also note that on the back of the thirty bottles I now have in stock it says "Do not apply to rusty or freshly painted surfaces." Has anyone seriously ever tried to polish rust or fresh paint?

Before i get into thjs review, let me just say that i have never seen the movie. But now that i finished the book i will watch the movie sometime soon to see how close the movie is to the book.
Joe Pistone was an FBI agent who went undercover to infiltrate the mob in New York. He would stay undercover for 6 years from the mid 70s to early 80s. As you can expect this book is full of insights into the mafia and how they worked back in those days. Joe Pistone along with his co writer provide a very easy to read book which will keep you hooked from beginning to end, you will not want to put this book down!
Mr. Pistone will provide you with such incredible details that it makes you feel you are right there with him through it all. Pistone starrts at the bottom and he works his way up the ladder in the mob. Making phony deals with other undercover agents passing as his connections in other states.
Technology back in the 70s was not what it is today, so a few of the times when "Donnie Brasco" wore a wire many of the conversations would be ruined because of faulty equipment, or just simply because the "wise guys" would do things to avoid being caught on tape admitting or discussing their business. Also if Joe Pistone got caught, it would almost certainly mean death for him.
Throughtout the book, there are a few times were the whole operation couldve been destroyed, and it all came down to the actual police department "stepping in" their business.
This is such a deep book, that it should be a must read for everybody who is into this genre, or works as an undercover officer, or simply in the law enforcement field.
At the end of the book there are a couple of pages with all the guys involved in this operation. A lot of them died, and a lot of them got many years in prison. Now go find a copy of this book, and i guarantee you, you will enjoy it as much as i did!

United States District Court, D. Idaho
December 21, 2017
ORIN DUFFIN, Plaintiff,v.IDAHO STATE UNIVERSITY, et. al., Defendants.
Court has before it Plaintiff's Motion for Partial
Summary Judgment (Dkt. 26), Defendants' Motion for
Summary Judgment (Dkt. 27), and Defendants' Motion to
Strike (Dkt. 30). The Court heard oral argument on September
21, 2017, and now issues the following decision.
Duffin is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints ("LDS Church"). In 2014-15, he played
on the Idaho State University ("ISU") men's
tennis team during his freshman year in college. During that
time, Jeff Tingey was the athletic director, Bobby Goeltz was
the head coach of the tennis team, and Nate Gross was a
graduate assistant for the tennis team. Duffin claims that he
was harassed by Goeltz and Gross because of his religion.
Specifically, he states that he was told that his decision to
serve an LDS mission was insane, that he was disparaged
because he would not drink alcohol, that he was harassed
about his sexual orientation, that he was harassed about
whether he watched pornography, had sex with women, or
masturbated, and that two girls were sent to his hotel room
in Las Vegas during a tennis tournament to proposition him
for sex.
quit the tennis team after he was scratched from an
out-of-state tournament. He then filed his Complaint on May
20, 2016. Based upon stipulated deadlines, the Court entered
a Case Management Order on August 8, 2016. (Dkt. 20). The
order set January 30, 2017 as the dispositive motion
deadline. On January 12, 2017, the parties filed a
stipulation to extend the dispositive motion deadline to July
14, 2017. (Dkt. 21). The Court agreed to the stipulation
because Duffin was out of the District of Idaho for an
extended period of time while serving a two-year mission for
the LDS Church. (Dkt. 22). The parties filed their
cross-motions for summary judgment on July 14, 2017.
judgment is appropriate where a party can show that, as to
any claim or defense, "there is no genuine dispute as
to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment
as a matter of law." Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(a). One of the
principal purposes of the summary judgment "is to
isolate and dispose of factually unsupported claims . . .
." Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317,
323-24 (1986). It is "not a disfavored procedural
shortcut, " but is instead the "principal tool[ ]
by which factually insufficient claims or defenses [can] be
isolated and prevented from going to trial with the attendant
unwarranted consumption of public and private
resources." Id. at 327. "[T]he mere
existence of some alleged factual dispute between the parties
will not defeat an otherwise properly supported motion for
summary judgment." Anderson v. Liberty Lobby,
Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 247-48 (1986). There must be a
genuine dispute as to any material fact - a fact
"that may affect the outcome of the case."
Id. at 248.
evidence must be viewed in the light most favorable to the
non-moving party, and the Court must not make credibility
findings. Id. at 255. Direct testimony of the
non-movant must be believed, however implausible. Leslie
v. Grupo ICA, 198 F.3d 1152, 1159 (9th Cir. 1999). On
the other hand, the Court is not required to adopt
unreasonable inferences from circumstantial evidence.
McLaughlin v. Liu, 849 F.2d 1205, 1208 (9th Cir.
cross-motions for summary judgment are filed, the Court must
independently search the record for factual disputes.
Fair Housing Council of Riverside County, Inc. v.
Riverside Two, 249 F.3d 1132, 1136 (9th Cir. 2001). The
filing of cross-motions for summary judgment - where both
parties essentially assert that there are no material factual
disputes - does not vitiate the court's responsibility to
determine whether disputes as to material fact are present.
moving party bears the initial burden of demonstrating the
absence of a genuine dispute as to material fact.
Devereaux v. Abbey, 263 F.3d 1070, 1076 (9th Cir.
2001)(en banc). To carry this burden, the moving party need
not introduce any affirmative evidence (such as affidavits or
deposition excerpts) but may simply point out the absence of
evidence to support the nonmoving party's case.
Fairbank v. Wunderman Cato Johnson, 212 F.3d 528,
532 (9th Cir.2000).
shifts the burden to the non-moving party to produce evidence
sufficient to support a jury verdict in her favor.
Deveraux, 263 F.3d at 1076. The non-moving party
must go beyond the pleadings and show "by her [ ]
affidavits, or by the depositions, answers to
interrogatories, or admissions on file" that a genuine
dispute of material fact exists. Celotex, 477 U.S.
at 324.
Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment
ask the Court to dismiss all of Duffin's claims based
upon Eleventh Amendment immunity, qualified immunity, or
failure to state a claim. The Court will address each of
these arguments below.
Eleventh Amendment Immunity
consent by the State, the Eleventh Amendment bars suits in
federal court against the State or its agencies. Krainski
v. Nevada, 616 F.3d 963, 967 (9th Cir.2010). On more
than one occasion, this Court has previously held that ISU is
an arm of the State of Idaho. Sadid v. Idaho State
University, 837 F.Supp.2d 1166, 1172 (D.Idaho 2011);
Ferguson v. Greater Pocatello Chamber of Commerce,
Inc., 647 F.Supp. 190, 193 (D.Idaho 1985). Neither party
disputes this holding. Thus, the only question here is
whether ISU has consented to this lawsuit.
state waives its Eleventh Amendment immunity if it
'unequivocally evidence[s its] intention to subject
itself to the jurisdiction of the federal court.'"
Johnson v. Rancho Santiago Community College Dist.,
623 F.3d 1101, 1021 (9th Cir. 2010); citing Hill v. Blind
Indus. & Servs. of Md., 179 F.3d 754, 758 (9th
Cir.1999). "A state may waive its sovereign immunity
through conduct that is incompatible with an intent to
preserve that immunity." Id. (Internal
citation omitted). Notably, the Ninth Circuit has
"found that state defendants engaged in conduct
'incompatible with' an intent to preserve sovereign
immunity when they raised a sovereign immunity defense only
belatedly, after extensive proceedings on the merits."
Id. In Johnson, the Ninth Circuit
determined that the defendant waived Eleventh Amendment
immunity when it participated in discovery, and did not raise
it in its motion to dismiss or motion for summary judgment.
The court noted that "[i]n circumstances like these, we
deem the defendant to have made a tactical decision to delay
asserting the sovereign immunity defense[, ]" and that
"[s]uch tactical delay undermines the integrity of the
judicial system[, ] . . . wastes judicial resources, burdens
jurors and witnesses, and imposes substantial costs upon the
litigants." Johnson, 623 at 1022 (Internal
quotations and citations omitted).
Defendants did not file a motion to dismiss, but raised
sovereign immunity in their motion for summary judgment.
However, that motion was delayed by stipulation, and thus was
filed more than two years after the events supporting the
allegations in the case. This is significant because
Duffin's claims are likely now barred in state court by
the statute of limitations. See Idaho Code Ann. §
5-219(4) (two-year statute of limitations for personal injury
actions); Knox v. Davis, 260 F.3d 1009, 1012-13 (9th
Cir.2001) (for § 1983 claims, federal courts apply the
forum state's personal injury statute of limitations and
federal law for determining accrual; a § 1983 claim
accrues when the plaintiff knows or has reason to know of the
injury that forms the basis of the action).
the law in Idaho is well-established that ISU, and presumably
all other state universities, are arms of the state and
protected by Eleventh Amendment immunity. Therefore, there
was no need to develop any factual basis on that issue before
asserting Eleventh Amendment immunity. Allowing Defendants to
assert Eleventh Amendment immunity now would fly in the face
of the Rule 1 admonition that the Court construe and apply
the rules and procedures in a manner that secures the just,
speedy and inexpensive resolution of all disputes. Defendants
initially chose to defend the claims on the merits in federal
court by engaging in discovery, stipulating to extend
deadlines, and waiting until the dispositive motion deadline
to assert Eleventh Amendment immunity. The Court can only
conclude that this was a tactical attempt to deny Duffin his
day in Court. The Court will not allow Eleventh Amendment
immunity to be used that way. Accordingly, the Court finds
that Defendants have waived their sovereign immunity defense,
and will address the claims on the merits.

Live, his power trio - always on the floor among sweaty dancing bodies - plays intense acid rock with the attitude of jazz, bringing Middle Eastern and African music, with improvisational virtuosity into garage punk. These concerts are about improvisation, about the moment. It is a worldly sound so completely unique – it can only exist for that moment in time. No two sets are the same or even similar, as Gat's reverb-drenched guitar offensive takes simultaneous lead and rhythm duties, backed by Gal Lazer's hard-hitting African-inspired grooves, and Sergio Sayeg's (of Brazilian garage rockers Garotas Suecas) pumping bass.

"A steady bludgeoning by colossal doom stomps that sounds like a Transfromer crashing down to the dusty earth.
