Brady is Premier class again
The takeover of Burnley FC by the northside of Dublin is complete as Robbie Brady finally made the move which guarantees him Premier League football for the rest of the season.
And the Clarets have again broken their record for a transfer fee by paying Norwich City a reported £13million for the 25-year-old.
A suspension for the next World Cup qualifier, against Wales next month, means that Brady will be denied competitive international action until June, but he will at least end his spell in the Championship and become a Premier League player again.
The deal which sees Brady join on a three-and-a-half year deal was announced online by Burnley last night, the transfer update also read out to the home crowd during their league victory over Leicester City.
The news was welcomed by Clarets fans while compatriots Jeff Hendrick and Stephen Ward will be glad to see Brady - another man from the northside of Dublin - head for Turf Moor.
Burnley didn't reveal the fee but the club did confirm that the deal cost them more than the previous record fee, paid for Brady's fellow St Kevin's Boys graduate Hendrick.
"The former Manchester United youngster has also been a regular for Norwich in the Championship this season and now returns to the top-flight after signing for the Clarets for a fee that exceeds the one Burnley paid for countryman Jeff Hendrick in the summer," Burnley said in a statement.
Sean Dyche's men have led the chase for Brady in the face of competition from Crystal Palace, Sunderland and Newcastle but it was the cash on offer from Burnley, and Brady's desire to play in the top flight again, which helped seal the deal, Norwich clearing the way for Brady to leave with their signing of Yanic Wildschut from Wigan for £7m.
The Brady deal was one of the few high profile moves to go through on the much-hyped transfer deadline day which has clearly had its time, in terms of the prominence given to it by outlets like Sky Sports News.
Nigeria striker Odion Ighalo joined Chinese Super League side Changchun Yatai from Watford on a permanent deal, for a reported fee of £20m while ex-Manchester United man Ravel Morrison moved to QPR from Lazio.
Moussa Dembele will stay at Celtic despite reports of a move to Chelsea. The sight of Dembele in London had sparked claims that he was on his way to Stamford Bridge and one media outlet, normally reputable, reported that Celtic had turned down a bid of £40m, but that was later discounted.
Branislav Ivanovic ended his nine-year stay at Chelsea and returned to Russia, joining Zenit St Petersburg..

A steady influx of absentee voters visited the D.C. Board of Elections and Ethics yesterday, the first day of voting for those who won't be able to cast ballots in person on Election Day, Nov. 2.
Maryland and Virginia voters have been able to cast absentee ballots at registrars' offices since late last month, and both jurisdictions report that interest in absentee voting has been strong. District voting officials said yesterday that they couldn't provide turnout estimates for the first day of absentee voting, and they declined to compare it with previous elections.
"It's been steady. I can say that," said Bill O'Field, a spokesman for the elections board.
In all three jurisdictions, absentee voters can cast ballots in person or by mail.
District voters wishing to vote by mail must send an application to the Board of Elections by Oct. 26. The request must include the voter's name, registration address, mailing address where the ballot should be sent, reason for voting absentee and the voter's signature. Requests should be mailed to the D.C. Board of Elections Voter Services Office, 441 Fourth St. NW, Room 250 North, Washington, D.C. 20001-2745. Applications also are available on the board's Web site, www.dcboee.org.
"The requests just need to reach us by then because we need enough turnaround time to get the ballots out to them," O'Field said. "When they send the ballots back, they need to be postmarked no later than Nov. 2."
District absentee voters also can cast their ballots in person at the Fourth Street office, above the Judiciary Square Metro station, through Nov. 1. Voting hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday. For more information, voters can call 202-727-2525.
In Maryland, voters have been able to deliver absentee ballots by hand to county elections boards since late last month, said Donna J. Duncan, director of the State Board of Elections' election management division. Voters can continue to bring in absentee ballots to those offices until Election Day.
Mail applications for Maryland ballots must be received before 4:30 p.m. Oct. 26, and applications sent via fax must arrive by 11:59 p.m. that day. Applications also can be downloaded from the elections board Web site, www.electionsmaryland.com, or ordered by calling 410-269-2840.
Maryland ballots mailed from within the United States must be postmarked by Nov. 1 and received by the local boards by 4 p.m. Nov. 3. If mailed from outside the country, absentee ballots must be postmarked by Nov. 1 and must arrive by 10 a.m. Nov. 12.
In the 2000 presidential election, almost 100,000 Maryland voters cast absentee ballots.
"I fully expect that number [this year] or potentially more," Duncan said.
In Virginia, voters have been able to vote absentee at registrars' offices since Sept. 20. Hours of in-person voting depend on the jurisdiction, said Jean Jensen, secretary of the Virginia State Board of Elections.
Virginia absentee voters can send requests for ballots to their local registrars' offices through Oct. 28. Applications also can be found on the department's Web site, www.sbe.virginia.gov. Mailed absentee ballots must be postmarked by Nov. 1 and received by 7 p.m. Nov. 2.
More than 100,000 Virginia voters have requested absentee ballots, Jensen said.

— With program support provided by Math for America
Making Mathematical Connections
The Park City Mathematics Institute (PCMI) of the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, NJ, offers comprehensive professional development for mathematicians and teachers of mathematics, as well as programs for students aspiring to a career in mathematics.
The Teacher Leadership Program (TLP) Summer Session is a 3-week residential program in Park City, Utah and is part of the larger PCMI program. The TLP is for school teachers who specialize in mathematics for grades 2-12. In addition, 6 quarter-credits of 400-level mathematics are available from the University of Washington for a modest fee.
The Teacher Leadership Program at PCMI will be held June 29 – July 17, 2017.
Click HERE to apply to the Teacher Leadership Program.
The TLP is structured around three goals:
All teachers should be involved in
- continuing to learn and do mathematics
- analyzing and refining classroom practice
- becoming resources to colleagues and the profession.
Each of these goals is reflected in the three strands that comprise the summer courses and activities.
Goal 1 Math Course: Random Matrices
The contexts and methods developed in the course will be low-threshold, high-ceiling, with plenty of interesting mathematics for any grade level.
The course is about the nature of randomness. How do we decide something is random? How can we decide something isn't random? There are many possible distributions of random numbers and many possible distributions of random matrices. The course will investigate the ways that data can be tested to see if it comes from a random source and the ways to use random numbers and matrices to simulate real phenomena.
An example:
Jennie is an excellent fast-pitch softball pitcher. She has three pitches: a fastball, a changeup, and a drop curve. Jennie mixes up her pitches to try to fool hitters. Here's a sample of 24 pitches she threw during a game, in the order she threw them:
Jennie just threw a fastball. About how likely do you think it is that the next pitch will be a fastball? a changeup? a drop curve?
The course will investigate questions like these, tying them to the precollege mathematics curriculum. No prior background is necessary; the contexts and methods developed in the course will be low-threshold, high-ceiling, with plenty of interesting mathematics for any grade level.
Goal 2 Reflecting on Practice: Making Inquiry a Core Teaching Practice
What role does inquiry play in developing students' insights about and understanding of mathematics? Participants will consider research related to teaching and learning mathematics with a particular focus on how active learning can produce both conceptual knowledge and procedural fluency. The discussion will be grounded in the study of lessons and classroom practice in both the United States and other countries as participants work collaboratively to better understand how they can design experiences for students that enable them to make sense of mathematics.
Goal 3 Working Groups
(2 hours, 4 days a week)
As part of their summer activities, each participant selected for the Teacher Leadership Program will be assigned to one of three options: 1) a small team that will focus on an developing an activity related to providing resources to support teachers as they implement standards for mathematical proficiency in their schools and districts or on an TLP academic year outreach project, 2) a special working group attending a course related to the PCMI research math topic Random Matrices or 3) a working group on lesson study, which will design and deliver a lesson to area high school students during the three-week session and revise the lesson for use by other mathematics educators. These teams will be formed with respect to interest and experience. As part of the application process, please rank three working group choices on the online application. Note that accepted participants will be take part in a discussion of potential topics and projects prior to the summer session to investigate some ideas in more detail and to begin to form teams with areas of mutual interest.
Working Group choices:
- Supporting Teachers as Leaders
- Algebra
- Advanced Algebra
- Advanced Mathematics
- Statistics
- Number and Operation
- Geometry
- Calculus
- Social Justice in Mathematics
- Outreach
- Lesson Study
- Research Course- Random Matrices
All participants will be consulted and notified of their working group assignments prior to the Institute. Applicants should rank their first, second, and third choice of Working Group on the application form. Accepted applicants will take part in a discussion of possible topics and foci for their teams prior to the beginning of the summer program.

How To Setup An Outdoor Fireplace And Grill Pit
An outdoor fireplace and grill pit combines the beauty and warmth of a fireplace with the functionality of a grill. The structure can be used for cozy social moments or for barbecuing hamburgers, shish kabobs, marshmallows or hot dogs. Many can be bought in convenient fire pit packages in a range of styles and sizes. However, homeowners sometimes choose to have a pit that is custom designed.
For whatever design chosen, here's a general tutorial on properly setting up an outdoor fireplace and grill pit.
What You'll Need:
Materials: a complete fire pit kit or these individual materials
- 60 fire bricks
- a pallet of fieldstone, such as New England style stone
- gravel for decoration
- fast-setting concrete, six bags
- mortar mix, a dozen bags
- 3 rolls of landscape mesh
- 1/2 inch rebar that's 24 inches long
- compass
- string
- hoe
- wheel barrel
- stone hammer
- utility knife
- measuring tape
- 1/2 inch masonry jointer
- safety glasses
- level
- string line
- rake
- shovel
- spray paint
- Five cans of high heat paint
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: After browsing a home improvement store or website, purchase a pre-packaged fire pit kit with a grill. Such kits generally come with 16 to 20 pieces to assemble. If not purchasing a kit, the list of materials above.
Step 2: Survey the backyard and choose a clear place to install the outdoor fireplace and grill pit that is not near anything flammable, such as wooden fences, low-hanging tree branches or a gazebo. Needless to say, the pit should not be too close to the house. The center of the yard works well.
Step 3: Take the spray paint and the measuring tape to mark the chosen location with a pattern for a square pit. If the pit you've selected is circular, use the compass and string instead of measuring tape to draw the round pattern on the ground. Commonly, circular pits measure three feet in diameter; square pits can have a three foot square interior. Leave a two-foot trim around the outside of the pit for the concrete footer and wall that will surround the pit, separating it from the seating area.
Step 4: Now, mark a square or circular seating area around the designated pit location, according to dimensions of your fire pit kit. If creating a free form pit without a kit, a 12-foot diameter circle or a 10-foot square enclosure that wraps around the pit will suffice for the seating section. These dimensions can be adjusted according to personal preference, but changes may require more materials.
Step 5: Time to install the concrete footer mentioned in Step 3. The footer will hold the wall that will trim the pit. To create the footer, dig a two-foot wide trim all the way around the pattern marked for the fire pit; dig at least six-inches deep. Then, mix the quick-setting concrete in the wheelbarrow and pour the necessary amount into the excavation. Allow time for the concrete to set smoothly.
Step 6: Open the pallet and separate the field stones into two piles: capstones and face stones. Hint: the smoothest stones should be saved for capstones, which will lay on top of the wall. The remaining face stones form the wall.
Step 7: Starting on the outside edge of the footer, lay the face stones to create the first ring of the wall.
Step 8: Go inside of the wall ring and place fire bricks along the edge of the pattern marked for the fire pit. These bricks should not be against the wall; there should be space between the inside of the wall and the bricks lining the pit area. Arrange the bricks vertically so that they reach three-feet high.
Step 9: Top the first ring of the wall with more rings, laying layer upon layer of stone until the wall is the desired height.
Step 10: Fill the space between the wall and fire brick with any leftover stones and the mortar mix. Then, cap the wall with the capstones.
Step 11: Finish the seating area by shallowly digging out the seating section. Fill with landscape mesh and the decorative gravel.
Step 12: The final step is to place the steel grilling grate over the pit and attach the optional round barbecue hood. As an alternative, you can store the grilling plate and use the steel fire pit cover when you don't plan to cook on the pit.
When it's time to enjoy the pit, fill it with wood. Buy benches for the seating area and invite a bevy of friends.

Jethro Tull – A Time For Everything lyrics
Once it seemed there would always be
A time for everything.
Ages passed I knew at last
My life had never been.
I'd been missing what time could bring.
Fifty years and I'm filled with tears and joys
I never cried.
Burn the wagon and chain the mule.
The past is all denied.
There's no time for everything.
No time for everything.

This essay argues that the U.S., Japan, and the rest of Asia need to develop a new, more collaborative energy security strategy in the wake of the U.S. unconventional energy revolution, rising Asian energy demand, and changes in the U.S. strategic posture.
World energy markets are undergoing seismic shifts as Asian energy demand and imports have risen dramatically and the U.S. unconventional energy revolution has radically reduced the need for imported energy. U.S. dependence on Middle East oil is disappearing, while Asian dependence is rising, especially for China. At the same time, the U.S. faces a war-weary American public, sharply reduced future defense spending, a need to shift strategic and diplomatic resources toward Asia, and a new and dangerously unmanageable situation in the Middle East in the wake of the Arab Spring. The combination of growing energy abundance and tightening strategic constraints raises the possibility that the U.S. could reduce some of its costly commitments to Middle East stability, increasing the risks of worsening instability and threats to the reliability of energy exports to Asia. It is, therefore, in the interest of Japan, China, and the rest of Asia to begin working together to forge a new, more collaborative energy security strategy in cooperation with the U.S. Nevertheless, this will be difficult due to the overlay of strategic rivalries and tensions in the region that make stronger regional cooperation on many issues a serious challenge.
Mikkal E. Herberg is a Senior Lecturer in the Graduate School of International Relations and Pacific Studies at the University of California–San Diego and Research Director of the Energy Security Program at the National Bureau of Asian Research.

Dr. Alois Alzheimer, a German psychiatrist, discovered Alzheimer's disease in 1907. He noticed that a female patient slowly lost her memory and ability to think and talk and that she developed judgment problems. After her death, he viewed her brain through a microscope and noticed abnormal growths, which he called plaques and tangles, in parts of her brain. These changes occur in the brain of everyone with Alzheimer's disease.

US Begins Extreme Vetting at Offshore Detention Centers in Australia
May 23 , 2017
As per reports, extreme vetting interviews were started by the US Homeland Security officials at Australia's offshore detention centers on Tuesday.
As mentioned by some refugees, interviews started with an oath to God to tell the truth. It then continued for around six hours, where associates, family, friends were questioned to find out if they have any interactions with the Islamic State militant group.
Last month the Trump administration said that the agreement to provide refuge to at least 1,250 asylum seekers in the centers would be taken forward if refugees satisfied strict checks.
These interviews were the last stage of US consideration of applicants.

As a bit of a motivator amongst a few of us to make us actually "finish" rather than half-start something, we are holding an informal group build of a Henschel Jagdtiger (preferably either of the newish 1/35 Tamiya kits - though a DML one is fine too if you don't have a Tamiya one and even a Porsche one at a pinch). We'll start it today with a Sept.30 finish deadline.
So anyone who has one handy or half started and wants to dust it off and hook in please feel free to get on board post up your progress shots. It can be anything from Out of Box to superdetailed as long as it gets done inside the next month and a half. So whatever level you are comfortable with. No prizes or money - just the satisfaction of getting one of your 400 stockpiled kits done before you die
So let the Jagdtigering commence! I'll post my early progress pics up tonight to get the ball rolling...
Hi James,
Are we going to extend the expiry date to a new time ?
Or we finish and display the final result?

Teri Walters, founder of Safehaven Small Breed Rescue, is a Kerulos intern who took the Caring for the Caregiver course. She has been rescuing and caring for "puppy mill" dogs for two-and-a-half decades. Here, she shares some of her insights and experiences, and how the 10 Principles of Being Sanctuary are illustrated in her canine trauma recovery work.
Often times in rescue, we are so matter of fact, get-the-job-done, that we don't realize how our attitude affects the animals we are trying to help. Rescue work is stressful, whether you are dealing with the animals themselves, with animal abusers, or the general public. Those stresses are passed on to the very animals we work so hard to help.
At one point, my life was so overwhelming that I considered shutting down the rescue I worked for years to get going. It was not an option I liked, I just didn't see any other way to cope. Once I realized that it was not the animals who were causing the stress, but the people which I had to deal with on a daily basis, I found other ways to not only make the rescue life work but to relieve the stressors. That is when I made the decision to go from rescuing to sanctuary. The results are amazing.
Not only am I more relaxed and confident in my ability to offer the best care to the animals, but the animals are responding as well. Dogs that were fearful only a few months ago are now more curious and accepting of attention. Tara, for example, has been extremely fearful and would bark and false charge at me anytime I approached for the 2 years she has been in my care. Any attempt at touching Tara resulted in frustration, anxiety and usually a bite.
Once I made the decision to change the way the rescue is run, I noticed a change in myself. Just knowing that in a few weeks, most of the things I was stressing about would be gone somehow brought a peace of mind I haven't had in a long time. The pressures and anxiety I have felt for years was slowly fading. I noticed a change in the animals as well. The calmer and more relaxed I became, the more at ease the dogs became. In only a few months, the animals, including Tara, are less agitated and more harmonious. Tara no longer barks when I approach, she no longer false charges me or attempts to bite. She still is not fond of being handled, but we are making progress. There are 21 dogs here, living together under one roof, with no competition, no prejudice, living in peace together.
I truly believe that it was my change of attitude and mind that made the change for them. It is well known that animals can sense their owner's feelings and emotions. I believe my frustration, anger, and feelings of defeat were not only affecting my performance as a rescuer, but the animals I was trying to help, causing them undue stress. Once I learned to make the changes to make my life less stressful, the dogs became more accepting of attention and are healthier and more trusting.
If I could teach anything from my mistakes, it would be this: Be mindful of your emotions and feelings around your animals. Even though you may be angry, hurt, or frustrated, center yourself before working with them. Today when I feel myself becoming frustrated or angry, I walk away—away from the dogs to center myself before returning. Your emotions can and do affect their responses and well-being. Here is a glimpse of some of Safehaven dogs with us today:

I love reading birth stories. They are some of my favorite posts to read and since having Claire I knew I wanted to share her story on the blog. She was born August 22, 2015 so it has been 8 days since we had her! I can't believe it has only been 8 days, I feel like she has been part of our lives forever, not that it was an easy transition into parenthood but it has been a wonderful transition all the same.
At my 36 week appointment which was Friday August, 14 I got my normal check up and my doctor said I don't think she's coming for another couple weeks (ha). I got the strep b test that day but they didn't check to see how dilated I was. Looking back I wish I had taken them up on the offer because I probably would have been at a 2 already. I left the doctors office and had a relatively stress free weekend. I purchased a bunch of last minute baby items on amazon that I would need at the hospital (thank goodness for amazon prime since it arrived on time).
Monday came around and I went to work, and when I got home I started having contractions, I could tell they were real contractions verses the braxton hicks ones I had been experiencing because they felt like menstrual cramps, starting in my lower back and would continue forward into the front of my stomach. I started timing them and at first they were only 30 minutes apart but by 8pm they were about 20 minutes apart. They stopped over night so we didn't call my doctor or anything cause I knew I wasn't in labor and they would have just sent me home.
On Tuesday the same thing happened, around 4pm the contractions started and lasted until 11pm, getting up to 20 minutes apart. I still just thought nothing of them because they would stop over night and they weren't that painful. Don't get me wrong they were pretty painful but not to the point where I thought I needed to go to the hospital.
Wednesday came and went with no contractions.
Thursday came and I woke up with a really bad migraine, I was throwing up and just sick in general. I called into work that day and stayed home. After resting for the majority of the day and taking tylenol, I got a few hours of organizing in the nursery done, putting away baby clothes etc. While I was working on the nursery I made a list of things we still needed so Zack and I could go to walmart later that day. When he got home we went to walmart and walking around the store for about an hour and a half I was having pretty intense contractions by the end of it. These ones came down to about 15 minutes apart and the pain was worse then the contractions on Monday and Tuesday. I still didn't want to go the hospital or call my doctor because they stopped over night once again.
Friday came and I went to work that day, by the end of my shift I was having contractions and they were at the same pain level as the ones I had on Thursday. I got home and just laid down in bed, drank a lot of water and tried to rest. I was counting the time in between the contractions and it was 15 minutes apart. Friday night we watched Pirates of the Carribean at worlds end and by the end of the movie I could barely breathe through the contractions, they were 10 minutes apart at this point and painful.
I got up and decided to pack the hospital bag just in case. I was a little out of it with all the pain so I packed random stuff that I didn't end up using (which is okay because I did have everything I needed). I asked Zack what he thinks we should do and we both decided to sleep through the night. The contractions stopped around midnight and I was able to get sleep that night. However at 5 am I woke up to extreme pain and started counting the contractions again, they were 6 minutes apart. I was a little nervous and excited but decided to wait until they were 5 minutes apart to wake Zack up (the hospital is 10 minutes from our house so I knew we would be fine).
At 5:50 am I had the most intense contraction and then all this water gushed out onto the bed, I ran to the bathroom (ha ha I had no idea what to do) and said Zack my water broke. He looked at the bed and said, yep, and got up and started getting his stuff together. .He grabbed me a towel and I sat on it in the car on the way to the hospital. When we got there the towel was soaked and I was still leaking a lot of fluid.
We got all checked in and they sent me up to labor and delivery. When we arrived the nurse said usually we just do a check in and monitor but since your water broke we are doing a check in and delivery, you are having a baby today.
Once she said that for some reason it just hit me, we were having our baby that day. The nurse started getting everything set up so she could give me my IV, do some tests and get me ready for labor. I was nervous, I could tell Zack was nervous but we both stayed really calm through out the whole thing. After my nurse conducted a bunch of tests she checked to see how dilated I was.
She told me I was at a 3 but she couldn't tell if the babies head was in the right position or not, so they pulled out the ultra sound machine and found that Claire's head was not where it was supposed to be. She was laying sideways inside my belly with her head on my right side and her feet on my left. She said I'm not sure but it looks like you might have to have a C-Section. A bunch of thoughts started crossing my mind but I knew that if that was the safest way to get Claire here then that is what we were going to do. She said she would go call my doctor, let him know what was going on and have him come down.
While she was out in the hall I looked at Zack and said C-section, he said yep and we just agreed it would be the best thing to do, unless my doctor could turn her then we would opt for that choice. When the nurse came back in she said the doctor didn't want to make any calls yet about the C- section until he could see me in person so she said to just hang out and wait for him to get there.
To find out what happens next stay tuned for Part 2, coming later this week as I have to go take care of a fussy baby now :)

Vizo may be a bit late to the game when it comes to the news-delivery market, but the service, which aims to provide "bite-sized" morsels of information to users as they go about their busy lives, has created a favorable impression with its apps for Android and iOS, which have attracted nearly 5,000 users since the platform went live in the United States and Israel three weeks ago.
Vizo works by offering users all the news that they will need for the day, delivered in 400-600-word articles (called "Glances") that are culled from major sources and sent as part of three daily updates (morning, noon, and evening). Users move through the feed by swiping or, if they find an article that they enjoy, clicking to access links to other major sources covering that particular story. The startup also indicates that they have developed an algorithm that allows users to receive more timely, relevant stories as they continue to use the service. Vizo offers straight-forward news articles at the moment, but they are looking to produce their own editorial content with contributions (in Glance-form) from partner bloggers.
The service is free for the time being, with a representative of the company telling me that they intend to implement a monetization plan once they have expanded their userbase.
As indicated, Vizo only went live a few weeks ago, but the startup's apps have received a somewhat warm reception thus far. In the Google Play store, the app is at 4.4 stars (of 5) from 78 ratings, while the iOS version sits at 5 (out of 5) stars from 11 ratings.
Vizo is keeping quiet about the exact identities of their financial backers, but would reveal that they have picked up $1.1 million from a group that includes Wall Street executives, tech investors, and angels.

Hello hansdraakkiller , Welcome to SF
Two dumps one = faulty graphics driver
Update your graphics drivers to the latest ones, its best to uninstall old drivers then run Drivers - Clean Left over Files after Uninstalling then install new drivers from here Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers option 2 is easiest as will auto detect what you need.

Looking at your whole list there is several 0x124 errors which indicate a hardware problem, this may or may not be the case so i would start by running full hardware tests to prove your machine, heres some info to test each aspect of hardware, ensure you have temperature monitoring software installed (something like speccy) before running tests that are going to load machine and keep an eye on them
RAM - Test with Memtest86+
Disk Check
Hard Drive Diagnostic Procedure using something like SeaTools | Seagate
Hardware - Stress Test With Prime95
Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark
Run through these tests and post back your results/progress and i will have a deeper look into your dumps another day when i have more time :)

Painter in Independence
A little about me: I am a Christian, a Husband, a Father and a Veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom. I started this business while on vacation from my full time career. I painted almost exclusively for a long time and decided that now is as good a time as any to make a business of it and help out people in my community with a tedious task and at the same time provide more for my family. I am available at nearly anytime for estimates but can only provide painting service on weekends and into Mondays (if the need is there). Please contact me if you have any need for interior painting done.

Sintra Tour : discover Quinta da Regaleira
Sintra Tour : Quinta da Regaleira
One of the most popular day trips from Lisbon is to go on a Sintra Tour. This beautiful charming town is one of the most visited places in Portugal because of its unique atmosphere, gorgeous views and spectacular palaces and monuments all in one place.
One of the less known jewels of Sintra is Quinta da Regaleira, a private property that maintains lots of mistery and charm since the early 20th century when it was built like we see it today.
Nested in the Sintra mountains, it was a work commissioned by the property owner Dr. Carvalho Monteiro to the famous Italian architect Luigi Manini, a man involved in the construction of the La Scala Opera in Milan and Quinta da Regaleira must be seen as an extension of his owner personality.
Carvalho Monteiro was a mysterious, eccentric man born in Rio de Janeiro that inherited millions from his family, money that was invested in Brazil where he was a preeminent dealer of precious stones and coffee beans.
The property as we can visit today was built by in six years between 1904 and 1910 and has many enigmatic buildings that contain numerous references to alchemy, the Masonry and the Knights Templars. We cant find a common reference style since it contains elements that range from the 15th century Manueline to figures associated with the Roman empire era.
The Gardens
A visit to Quinta da Regaleira must start in the property gardens that have many statues, figures and secret corners to discover. They are organized as a miniature microcosmos where both the light and darkness coexist: a series of tunnels , caves and secret passages that represent the underground world as well as magnificent gardens populated by exotic species that mimic Eden.
Closer to the big mansion the woods are well organized and obey to a scheme, however we climb to the northern side a sense of wilderness and anarchy prevails to depict the most ancient eras of mankind.
The garden at Quinta da Regaleira is populated by beautiful benches carved in stone, bridges,lakes and fountains. Each of these structures bears a deep symbolism and its a piece of art by itself so bring your camera ready as you will surely take a lot of pictures.
One of the most preeminent structures is the gardens is the catholic Chapel. From the oustide you can see walls decorated in a similar fashion to the mansion with intricate elaborated figures carved in the stones.
Inside there are religious paintings on the walls as well as windows with paintings depicting scenes from the bible and saints. Mansonery symbols as well as the Order of Christ cross are also relevant elements spread in its interior walls giving it a dual sense of both pagan and Christian feel.
A complex tunnel system is also one of the top attractions of this place that make it so unique. There are multiple entry points that can be easily accessed but sometimes not easily found, and that what makes them special since you will immerse you will immerse on a journey with an active role.
The tunnels play also a big role since they connect perhaps the most intriguing structures in the gardens: the initiation wells.
At Quinta da Regaleira the initiation wells are probably the most sought structures by visitors as they look both enigmatic and beautiful and are one of the post cards of the estate.
They consist of towers kept in the underground that have a downward spiral layout that includes stairs. Many interpretations have been made about the meaning of the wells and the most accepted, confirmed by testimonials is they played an important role on Mansonry and Esoterica ceremonies.
The biggest well is almost 100 feet high and we can descend to its bottom using a circular staircase where two adults can hardly pass each other.
Another well , called the unfinished well, is not as big as the first and its made of stairs that connect a series of floors that have a circular shape.
The estate
After visiting the garden you can turn your attention to the big mansion that has exterior walls decorated with a large amout of elements that are worth a more detailed view. From Gothic tops,to e gargoyles and Manueline elements like ropes, it all leads to a spectacular eight side tower that impresses every visitor.
Inside the palace there are five levels: the one you access when entering the main door, three above and one bellow. They are all worth exploring with many gothic and Manueline details carved on the walls, fireplace and handles that were inserted in doors that have in some places are covered with red velvet.

The Burmese Harp (Biruma no Tategoto) (1956)
6 comments:
There are two more from Ichikawa coming up for you in the 1960s - An Actor's Revenge and Tokyo Olympiad, the latter being a documentary. I've also seen his 1994 version of 47 Ronin. Harp would be my favorite from him.ReplyDeleteReplies
Good news that there are more Ichikawa movies coming up. Although they may not be on par with The Burmese Harp less will do just fine. I heard he made a remake of the Harp in the eighties, but that that one is no good.Delete
I haven't seen this one yet. I think I have been leery fearing that it would be very disturbing and graphic. Your review makes me look forward to it!ReplyDelete
The only film I have seen by Ichikawa so far is Tokyo Olympiad, which I liked very much.Replies
You have something to look forward to. Of course it is disturbing to see all those dead bodies, but that is also the point. Where other movies want to freak you out this one goes for healing and closure.Delete
I hope you put this one on your list.
I thought this was a beautiful film, one that I'm glad to have seen. I'm with Chip on this--this is the Ichikawa film that tops them all.ReplyDeleteReplies
There is something sad about having watched the best. After that everything is worse. Yet I found The Burmese Harp so good that less can do it.Delete

The Steel Tip Dart Tournament finished tonight at the Red Lion Inn in Richland. Kevin Luke of Sunnyside won the tournament and will compete in Austin, Texas at the National Dart Finals. Previously he took 5th place twice at the Dart Throwing Youth Championships in London. He started playing darts with his father when he was six years-old. "When I was younger I practiced all the time because my dad was always training like crazy, so I was just right there with him," said Kevin LukeLuke started competing when he was 12. Even though he is a dart throwing champion, it's not his career. He says there aren't enough competitions to live off the prize money.

FORUM Planned
The FORUM has a dual purpose.
The first is to promote the Engineers Club most valued asset, the combined knowledge and experiences of the membership and create a point of access to these resources not only to Club Members but also to the Dayton community. It is to say, the FORUM is to take networking to a higher level in a structured setting and provide a foundation for mentoring.
The second purpose of the forum is to highlight and demonstrate the benefits of the Engineers Club. It can be considered to be a model of the Engineers Club which will encourage membership growth, new professional and personal relationships, and an increase in participation in Engineers Club programs.
Other purposes can be summed up as creating solutions to various membership and growth challenges the Engineers Club has faced for decades.
Here are two examples.
1. People do not join because the value of membership is an unknown quantity and quality and very hard to realize without experiencing it. The forum, being a micro sample will demonstrate the value of the Engineers Club at every meeting.
2. People do not join because it requires a long-term commitment – and the value of the return on commitment investment is unknown. The forum provides a 12 week commitment where the return on the time investment will result in opportunities for structured networking, personal and professional growth, and new relationships.
The FORUM will meet weekly for 12 weeks sessions, twice per year. Each meeting will consist of 6 short presentations.
1. Report from a Engineers Club committee head or representative

Glen Miranker Speaks to Barn Gang
By any measure an expert would claim that it was virtually impossible to solve the Nazi secret code.
Glen Miranker, VP Research, Ret. for the Apple Corporation gave a comprehensive technical presentation of The Enigma Machine: How Dayton Cracked the Code. Glen began by talking about the origin of the Enigma machine as a commercial product in the late 1920's from which several models were developed for the German military. The M4 (model 4) with an additional forth cyphering wheel was the most sophisticated and was used by the German navy. To put some perspective on the task of solving the problem, Glen mentioned that the number of solutions possible for breaking the German code in a single message would exceed the number of atoms in the universe. With the staggering losses of ships early in 1942 meetings were set up between the English and the United States to review the status of code breaking. On September 4, 1942 NCR was given a cold start to design and build code-breaking machines with Joe Desch in charge. Incredibly, the first machines were shipped just eight months later in May 1943. They weighted 5000 pounds and were 10' wide, 7' high and 2' deep. A total of 96 were built. The machines worked extremely well and gave the allies the benefit of decoding German messages soon after they were sent. Debbie Anderson, daughter of Joe Desch, made the introduction.

At the same time as the global population is increasing and economic development is progressing, the contemporary world also faces complex global problems that present no easy solution, including climate change, poverty, and economic disparity.
These social problems go beyond national borders, and are therefore difficult for the governments of individual nations to resolve. Against this background, expectations on companies that have established a solid presence in the global market are increasing, and it is becoming impossible to imagine a resolution of social problems without corporate involvement. For companies, responding to these expectations will be a factor in their ability to survive. We believe that if a company fails to be needed by society, it will be difficult for that company to continue in business.
Rather than merely seeking profits, Hitachi High-Technologies takes responsibility for the effect of its corporate activities on society, and works to respond appropriately to the demands of all of its stakeholders (encompassing consumers, investors, and society as a whole), striving to become through its business activities a company that is needed by society.
Hitachi High-Technologies' unique strengths are technological capabilities, global sales capabilities and global procurement capabilities, and collaborate with customers and partners.
Via collaboration within the Hitachi High-Tech Group and the Hitachi Group in the areas of science & medical systems, electronic device systems, industrial systems, and advanced industrial products, using our products, technologies and scientific data with their proven reliability in addressing social problems, we will expand the convergence of operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT), and, making use of our abundant consulting experience and ability to propose solutions suited to the IoT era, we will work together with partners within the group and outside, creating innovation and contributing to the resolution of customer companies and societal problems.
Through the deployment of the high-tech solutions that we offer, we seek to realize societies in which all people are able to live comfortably, in safety and security.
At the Hitachi High-Tech Group, CSR means ensuring that all officers and staff share the Group's basic philosophy and put it into practice in their corporate activities. Formulating plans based on the ISO 26000 international standard on social responsibility, we will promote group-wide CSR activities and realize continuous growth and increased medium- and long-term corporate value by means of both "defensive" and "offensive" CSR, fulfilling our social responsibility as a company.
Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation aims to be a successful enterprise trusted by all our stakeholders and contributing to social progress through business activities that emphasize value creation through high-tech solutions. We are committed to open, transparent, and reliable business practices. As we continue to grow, we will value environmental responsibility and strive to build a prosperous community, contributing as a corporate citizen with passion and pride in our work.
To consistently aim to be Global Top in high-tech solutions
The Hitachi High-Tech Group Code of Conduct sets out the specific rules with which officers and employees alike should comply, from the perspective of corporate ethics and compliance.
Our efforts to put our basic philosophy into practice and fulfill our social responsibility are focused on themes related to seven areas, based on ISO26000.
Compliance, corporate governance, and other activities based on fundamental principles and right conduct represent "defensive" CSR, and are the foundation of our corporate activities. This aspect of CSR is of course important, but because it is something that should be naturally practiced by a company, we cannot expect it to be positively evaluated by society. Nevertheless, if it is not practiced, the company will be criticized and negatively evaluated. Hitachi High-Technologies will focus its efforts on the "offensive" CSR shown in the upper right of the figure. This means that we will respond to the demands and expectations of society, and provide the value that only Hitachi High-Technologies can.
This will contribute to continuous growth for both society and Hitachi High-Technologies. In addition to this, it will increase the respect in which we are held by society.
The Hitachi High-Tech Group regards customers, suppliers, shareholders and investors, employees, and the community and society as our main stakeholders. We will identify their needs and expectations through two-way dialogue with these stakeholders and will provide new value through our main business, while carrying out practical CSR activities.
We also actively cooperate with external surveys to evaluate our suitability for inclusion in SRI* brand rankings, which take social and environmental initiatives into account as investment criteria.

ZTE PON product shipments surge 35% in Q2 2014
New Delhi, October 17, 2014: ZTE Corporation ("ZTE"), a publicly-listed global provider of telecommunications equipment, network solutions and mobile devices,ranks second in the global PON (passive optical network) market, according to global consulting firm Ovum, with 4.885 million lines of PON product shipped in Q2 2014, an increase of 35.3 percent over the first quarter of the year, and a market share of 20.9 percent.
ZTE was also ranked first in the global EPON (Ethernet passive optical network) market with overall EPON product shipments of 3.042 million lines and a global EPON market share of 36.3 percent. The results in the second quarter of 2014 are mainly due to strong market expansion in Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Europe.
The Market Share Report 2Q14 FTTx, DSL, and CMTS report from Ovum reports that ZTE's global PON OLT (optical line terminal) shipments in 2014 Q2 exceeded 15.26 million lines, representing a quarterly increase of 35 percent. The surge in OLT port shipments reflects continued FTTH (fibre to the home) network deployments by various content service providers (CSPs) such as China Telecom, CenturyLink in the U.S., and numerous operators in Eastern Europe and South and Central America, along with new network builds by operators including China Mobile, Google Fiber and AT&T's new U.S. FTTH city/regional announcements.
Zhu Yongxing, Vice President, ZTE, said: "ZTE's PON products have maintained a strong development momentum in the second quarter of 2014, reflecting wide acceptance by operators worldwide. We will continue to provide top-of-the-range products and services to help global customers leapfrog their competitors."

Even though there are so many old houses in Australia, most of Adelaide houses have highly modernized bathrooms. Adelaide bathrooms have several qualities in common. This is because bathroom construction Adelaide is based on certain standards. Some of these features are listed below
Energy efficiency
No one likes to pay huge electricity and water bills. So modernization of any part of homes always entails energy efficiency. As a common standard, all Adelaide bathrooms have energy efficient fittings and appliances. Energy efficiency is very important in bathroom construction Adelaide.
Old lighting system that consumes a lot of energy will be replaced by modern lightings that consume much less energy. Even the modern water heaters now consume much less energy to heat up more water than the old heaters.
Adelaide bathrooms also have a way of consuming less water. All the water used are being recycled, purified and resupplied to different homes. Even the new toilet bowls consume much less water for flushing. A lot of people think Adelaide bathrooms are expensive. But when they estimate how much they save monthly on energy and water bills, they change their mind.
Better spacing
Bathroom construction Adelaide also involves replacement of obsolete facilities with smaller, faster and more effective ones thereby creating more space. The space created in the bathroom can be used to decongest other parts of your apartment.
Your washing machine and dryers may be moved from their original location to the bathroom if there is enough room. By taking such action, you would have created some space in their previous locations.
More sales potentials
Adelaide bathrooms give homes more sales potentials. This is because the bathroom is one of the parts of your home that home buyers usually assess critically. Having a modern bathroom boosts their interest in your house. You can also take advantage of it by increasing the price of your home.
The real beauty of modern bathrooms lies in their increased value. The additional value of the house may be twice the total cost of the modernization. This is another major financial gain apart from the amount you save from your monthly energy and water bills.
More luxury
Decades ago, it was absurd to install a TV set in your bathroom because bathrooms were strictly for bath only. Now, you can take your bath with a lot of pleasure. This is why minibars and TV sets are installed in most Adelaide bathrooms.
Who says taking your bath can't be done with a lot of fun and pleasure? You might watch your favorite show while you are in your Jacuzzi with a glass of whiskey in your hand. Hitherto, bathrooms used to be where people spend the least time but that has changed now. After your living room and bedroom, the next is your bathroom.

SEAN SZABUNKA loves to drive.
At 19, he's on his fourth car, a 1991 Acura Integra. It's a far cry from the two "boats" -- a 1987 Mercury Grand Marquis and a 1987 Chrysler Fifth Avenue -- that he drove in the past.
"I used to go for the older models," said Mr. Szabunka, who lives on Long Island in Floral Park. "I love the rear-wheel drive."
But, ultimately, something had to give.
Filling the tanks of those family cars at a cost of more than $50 took its toll on Mr. Szabunka, a community college student who makes $7.50 an hour working at a garden center. Now, he leaves the Fifth Avenue in his mother's garage and spends much less to fill the tank of his Integra. That enables him to continue driving 300 to 400 miles a week just for fun.
"I love driving," he said. "It's one of my favorite things to do."
But Mr. Szabunka, like other teenagers across the New York metropolitan region, continues to look for ways to keep his gas bill in check. With gas at over $3 a gallon and climbing, teenagers are being forced to explore new ways of keeping their cars on the road, whether by shopping more carefully for gas, taking second jobs or charging friends who travel as passengers.
Prices in New York, which last Wednesday were averaging $3.20 for regular unleaded, and in Connecticut, where the average was $3.24, are among the most expensive in the country, according to the AAA. Prices are lower in New Jersey yet were still averaging $2.99.Continue reading the main story
But those figures do not reflect the intricacies of buying gas in a region with pockets of higher prices, like in New York City and shore areas.
For some, the trick is in timing when they buy gas.
Julianne Miata, 19, commutes about 35 miles a day round-trip between her home in Valhalla, N.Y., and the New York Athletic Club in Pelham, where she is a swimming coach. When the fuel starts to get low in her 2003 Hyundai Tiburon, she goes home by a different route, knowing that she can find lower gas prices along it.
"I pass three stations -- the last is always the cheapest," she said, noting that in mid-July she was paying $3.12 a gallon and that by the end of the month the cost was $3.26. "But if I got there and found one of the others was cheaper, I'd turn around and go back."
Ms. Miata said she had factored the commute into her decision about taking the job, which pays enough to make the trip worthwhile. Still, she said, she tries to save gas any way she can, even through small steps, like avoiding frequent accelerations on the highway. And once she gets home, Ms. Miata said, she typically leaves the car parked.
"I don't just drive around with my friends to get coffee," she said.
When they do go out, many teenagers said, they are trying to be more careful about sharing the driving.
"We try to balance out who will drive on what night," said Kareem Kablouti, 19, who is teaching sailing while spending the summer with his family on Shelter Island, where gas is about $3.70 a gallon. "It's always in the back of your mind."
Mr. Kablouti said he had been hesitant to ask friends to pick him up or take him home because he did not want them going out of their way and burning extra gas.
"It's a total inconvenience to drive," he said.
Sara Mayko, 17, of Milford, Conn., who will be a senior at Jonathan Law High School, said that she had taken a second job for the coming school year to help offset the cost of filling up her 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue. Ms. Mayko, who already has a job at a clothing store, will work in an after-school program. She is also driving less often when she goes out with friends.
"I hate driving because of the gas," she said.
But the cost of fuel has not stopped Ms. Mayko and her friends from taking trips to Boston and New York City.
"We ask everybody to put in $5 or $10 for gas," she said. "There are enough new drivers, you can almost always find someone willing to drive."
Still, they plan to buy gas before having to fill up in places that they know will be more expensive, like Manhattan. And, Ms. Mayko said, there are times she has to be more innovative.
"Sometimes if I have an empty tank of gas, I'll park behind my dad so he'll have to move my car," she said. "He'll fill it up if he's in a good mood."
Her friend Gikas Vidalis, 18, also a senior at Jonathan Law, says he has not been so fortunate in filling the tank of the 1997 Nissan Altima that he bought in December. Although he works two jobs -- one at a diner in Milford, the other at a mall about a 20-minute drive away -- the cost of gas has outstripped his income, which must also cover insurance and his cellphone. The phone company recently cut off his service for nonpayment.
"I'm overdue paying my bills because I have to pay for my gas," he said. "I'd ride a bike to work if it wasn't so far."
Beyond working more and asking friends to share the cost, Mr. Vidalis has found one way to help pay his bills. He takes his grandmother shopping for groceries, and she gives him $10 or $20 for gas.
"That's my new favorite thing to do," he said.
But increasingly, many teenagers say, they are simply staying off the road.
"A lot of my friends stay home more," said Kevin Lopez, 17, who will be a senior next month at Sayreville War Memorial High School in New Jersey. "If they go out, they usually stay local rather than traveling around."
While he and his friends often car-pool, Mr. Lopez said that it was a problem for young drivers in New Jersey, where the graduated licensing law restricts the number of teenage passengers permitted in a car.
But fewer teenagers on the road this summer may not be such a bad thing, said Robert Sinclair Jr., a spokesman for AAA New York based in Garden City.
"July and August are the most dangerous months for teens to be on the road," Mr. Sinclair said. "They're out of school. They're getting into their vacation, partying and hanging out. Combine that with holiday travel and lots more people on the road, it makes more opportunities for bad things to happen.
"So, as far as safety is concerned, it might be helpful."Continue reading the main story

A cool athleisure style and the sophisticated biomechanics of the Joe Nimble® concept come together to create zagToes. The anatomical design of this unbelievably soft slipper ensures a perfect fit with a lacing system that can be perfectly adapted to the individual foot. The high-quality neoprene outer material banishes pinching and rubbing. A minimalistic shoe with maximum natural flexibility – this is how it feels to be 'nimble'.
The BÄR principle: 100% toe freedom
Why do you experience a completely new and natural walking experience in BÄR shoes? Because they offer 100 percent freedom for your toes. This freedom gives you relaxation and comfort right from the first step. You walk as comfortably in BÄR shoes as you do barefoot. That is because our shoes follow the natural shape of your foot. That is the BÄR principle. For more than 35 years. The maximum freedom for your toes gives your foot its natural strength back. You gain strength for long stretches. The freed foot supports your body balance and relieves your spine. You feel as relaxed as you do on a beach. The entire day.
This is the exact effect that Christian BÄR wanted to achieve 35 years ago when he discovered: "The form must follow the foot." He became a pioneer of toe freedom in 1982 through the consistent implementation of this notion. You can profit from this today. Give your feet the room that they need so that you gain more freedom.

Layher Allround industrial shut-down efficiency.
Remarkable improvements to shut-down timetables have been demonstrated on BHP's WA Iron Ore sites. By combining Layher Allround scaffolding with intelligent design, this belt-splice solution was crane-handled into place and ready for use less than one hour after the scaffolding team was authorized to install the structure: a stunning improvement when compared to past experience on site.
Suspended conveyor access with Layher Allround
This inclined conveyor at Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal was long overdue maintenance work. After years considering and rejecting access proposals involving conventional scaffolding systems, a unique Layher design was embraced to provide a suspended access solution. With permanent buildings directly below the conveyor, basing a scaffold at ground level was not an option. Assembling the scaffolds on the ground, then craning them into position proved to be both exceptionally safe and time-efficient. That's the nature of working with the Layher Allround scaffolding product: More Possibilities!
