This isn't a bad start! I think to make this stronger we should focus on what this deck wants to do, going by your description.
SCAVENGING: You'll want a few scavenge creatures obviously, but also the tools to use them. 4 copies of Dreg Mangler would be a brilliant move, 2-3 Drudge Beetle s would be solid and 2-3 Sluiceway Scorpion are great! You'll also want to put stuff in the grave. I recommend 4 copies of Grisly Salvage , and a Jarad's Orders if you can get one; it's great for searching for your key cards.
BEEFABLE CREATURES: Daggerdrome Imp is a great creature to buff with counters and Wild Beastmaster before she gets them, and three should be a good number. Lotleth Troll is a definite keep. Splinterfright is another fun creature to look into.
ARMY MAKING: To make Wild Beastmaster even more effective, making a token here or there may be a really cool direction you could take here; with lots of tokens, that's a lot of creatures getting big off the Beastmaster!! A Moan of the Unhallowed or two may be cool, as would a Kessig Cagebreakers s if you can find one. Otherwise, check out Awakening Zone ; it ramps your mana or gives you lots of bodies to attack and defend with!
WHAT TO CUT: Deathmark is narrow, so take that out for another Murder or any of the above suggestions. Serpent's Gift and Rites of Reaping are expensive, so they may be better out of the deck. Dead Reveler is nice but not too thrilling here.
MANA: You have two Keyrunes, which is great. See if you can get hold of some Golgari Guildgate s, maybe even 4 of them! They're great for making sure you're not lacking one of your crucial colours!
In my opinion the only good scavenge creatures are Dreg Mangler and Slitherhead . You need 4 of each. Next to make sure you get more bang for your buck I'd make Corpsejack Menace a 4 of. Sluiceway Scorpion also isn't bad for a defender that you can then scavenge so make him a 2 of then make Ambush Viper a 2 of as well for a little combat trick to flash him in as a defender. I would do 4 Murder for removal or maybe 2 and 2 Tragic Slip . You should probably run 2 Splinterfright and 2 Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord as well as 3 Grisly Salvage to fill up your graveyard. Lotleth Troll should be 4 of and maybe 4 Vampire Nighthawk . Things like Aerial Predation should be sideboard for specific threats, not maindeck. I'm not a fan of keyrunes generally. You'd be better off with Arbor Elf . Gravecrawler is also a good option if you control enough zombies.
I'll be honest some of the things these guys are saying are not bad but you need to focus more. Figure out your play style and focus your deck around that to be good around your strengths.
TAKE OUT:just bad: Drudge Beetle , Korozda Monitor (maybe as a scavenge target but Lotleth Troll is tons better), Stonefare Crocodile , Golgari Longlegs (has no effects), Gobbling Ooze , These cards above are the cards that the RTR block Golgari players find kind of embarrassing.
not mainboard: Acidic Slime , Aerial Predation , Deathmark , Serpent's Gift , Slum Reaper , Rites of Reaping , Golgari Keyrune , Dead Reveler , Korozda Guildmage
Not even standard: Gladecover Scout , Dismember , Awakening Zone ,let's make it so you can take this to FNM so you need to be standard.
If you are running scavenge Splinterfright is in the best case going to be useless. So if you are winning, which is what we are shooting for, you just drew a dead card. You don't want creature cards to stay in your graveyard.
Murder and Tragic Slip 2 of each for removal to get things out of the way of your swinging creatures.
So you're aggro means you need more Lotleth Troll , Dreg Mangler , Slitherhead , Corpsejack Menace Lots of one offs are bad it means your deck will never get the card it needs when it needs it and it will not win consistently.
Cards to look at:
Deadbridge Goliath , a 5/5 for 4 that scavenges for 6? This is very useful for aggro.
Strangleroot Geist , Haste is aggro's friend. and it has undying so it comes back stronger. And udying combos with Corpsejack Menace
Vorapede , Vigilance, trample and Undying? This is a card that you curve out to. The thing that you use the most mana on should turn the game strongly in your favor.
Primordial Hydra , good to play for even 3 mana, has trample which is good against other smaller aggro decks.
Golgari Charm
. Enchantment removal for the Blind Obedience
, Oblivion Ring
and others that you are going to run into. A one sided board wipe if all they have is 1 toughness creatures and an anti-boardwipe in one card.
Vampire Nighthawk
, It has flying, lifelink and deathtouch? Lifelink keeps you in the game longer. Deathtouch is great for defense and offense and flying over their heads is great or this is also anti-flying.
Increasing Savagery buff up Wild Beastmaster or something else
Jarad's Orders it is one of the best tutors in standard. Better if you are playing scavenge
Rancor Trample is what is great here. if the creature dies it goes back to your hand? Awesome.
Side board Essence Harvest ,Sheltering Word ,Sever the Bloodline ,Glaring Spotlight ,
LandStart with the Golgari Guildgate but since they come in tapped you want more of the Overgrown Tomb and Woodland Cemetery maybe 1 or 2 of the utility lands like Rogue's Passage .
You want to be fast, very fast. you want lots of removal you want to ramp to get things out that make your opponents die.
Figure out if you are more black or green and plan your land accordingly. aggro is mainly green most of the time. So Arbor Elf is great for those decks.If you want a more black deck or a more unblockable deck check out mine for some ideas: CouterpunchFOR THE SWARM!
Love the concept of using scavenge with the Corpsejack Menace but I feel you may be a little too spread out with this deck. I personally found scavenge prices a bit hefty, and designed Don't Feed the Trolls to be more aggressive with lower mana costs. There might be a few combos in there that could help you out! =)

Celebrity PR: Better Off Dead
Finally, tangible proof that there is indeed life after death—as long as you are, or were, a famous celebrity.
The Forbes 2012 Top-Earning Dead Celebrities report is out, and many will be surprised to learn that both Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley have been relegated to the #2 and #3 spots, respectively. That's right, Elizabeth Taylor snuck into the 2012 lead by virtue of an estate auction which earned a cool $210 million last year. Taylor's collection of jewelry was legendary, but she also owned works by both Picasso and Van Gogh, and her perfume line White Diamonds remains a top-seller.
The public wants its celebrities to be both exceptional and human, and nothing reminds us of the humanity of the ridiculously talented and fortunate more than death. We all die, after all–and death doesn't care who we are.
Death can visit us in the shower, on a highway or during a beachside stroll. It has neither remorse nor regret. It simply does what it does when it wants, and dying turns out to be a defining career move for many celebrities thanks to the misplaced nostalgia of an eager public.

On special day, UConn rolls past Hartford
Pregame ceremony includes kids from Newtown
WEST HARTFORD (AP) — Breanna Stewart scored a season-high 27 points and four teammates also scored in double figures as No. 2 Connecticut defeated Hartford 102-45on Saturday.
A pregame ceremony honored the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, with youth players from Newtown joining the teams on court.
It was the fifth time that Stewart, a freshman, had led the Huskies (10-0) in scoring this season. Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis had 21 points, Kelly Faris 18, Bria Hartley 15, and Stefanie Dolson 10 for UConn (10-0).
Stewart also had a team-high seven rebounds. Daphne Elliott led Hartford (8-3) with 10 points.
It was the first time the teams played on Hartford's home court since Dec. 23, 1990. UConn has won all 13 meetings.
UConn looked ready for its next game against top-ranked Stanford on Dec. 29 in California. The Huskies led 51-15 at halftime, shooting 63.3 percent in the opening 20 minutes with four players scoring in double figures, led by 15 points from Hartley.
UConn displayed its superiority early, taking a 25-7 lead with 12 minutes remaining in the first half. Mosqueda-Lewis accounted for nine of the points, making three three-pointers in as many attempts.
The Huskies stretched the lead to 30-7, with 24 of those points on offensive possessions that resulted in three points. UConn made five 3-point field goals and had three traditional three-point plays.
Hartford committed 21 turnovers in the first half, several of them resulting in transition baskets for UConn. The Huskies scored 28 points off turnovers in the first half and held Hartford to 5-of-16 shooting from the field.
Before the game members of the Newtown Girls Youth Basketball Association lined up with both teams on the court holding green signs that said "WE ARE SANDY HOOK. WE CHOOSE LOVE" and clutching teddy bears.
There was moment of remembrance that included the ringing of a chime 26 times in memory of the 20 students and six adults who were killed in the shooting.
Coaches and their staffs, and courtside personnel wore green ribbons, the school color at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Additionally, two large paintings of green ribbons with the white letters "SH" were on the court.

Nouveau Flamenco Torchbearer
As noted in the Star Tribune's "Big Gigs" by Tom Surowicz,
"Flamenco-flavored guitar star Ottmar Liebert is back in support of two new releases. The electric album "three-oh-five" features fresh material that's funkier than you might expect, as Liebert pays tribute to Motown Records great Wah Wah Watson and subtly echoes some other fabled guitarists never found in "New Age" record bins: Nile Rodgers, Paul Jackson Jr., Carlos Santana and Jeff Beck. The acoustic "Bare Wood 2002-2012" recycles past tracks such as the ever-enticing "Sand," removing all electronic instruments and adding more flamenco guitar licks, acoustic bass and cajon drum parts."

Google maps for iOS reportedly releasing tonightPUBLISHED: 13 Dec 2012 15:18:44 | UPDATED: 13 Dec 2012 15:19:34PRINT EDITION: 14 Dec 2012
Negar Salek
The Wall Street Journal has reported that Google's much anticipated maps app for iOS is set to release overnight.
The report sourced people close to the matter that said it would release tonight, but had not yet received a confirmation from Google.
Apple users that prefer the Google map over Apple's should be pleased with the news especially Victorian police which this week warned drivers that a glitch was putting lives at risk.
Apple removed Google's map as a pre-installed app when it released the iO6 and iPhone 5 in September.
The WSJ said Google had declined to include voice features in the navigation app as reason behind the decision.
Apple, instead, pre-installed its own app which received heavy criticism for a clumsy service.
The debacle saw Apple CEO Tim Cook apologise and Apple's maps manager Richard Williamson leave the company.

John Callahan House
Date Listed:
Inventory No.:
164, Conduit Street, Annapolis, Anne Arundel County
Distinguished in the City of Annapolis for its unusual gable-end principal façade and its largely intact Georgian/Federal interior finishes, the John Callahan house, built around 1785-90, has been moved twice in efforts to prevent its demolition. Originally erected on the corner of Tabernacle (College) and Lawyer (Bladen) Streets, the house was relocated to St. John's Street in 1900-01, and then to its present site on Conduit Street in 1972. The well-crafted Flemish and English bond elevations are marked by regularly spaced 12/12 and 12/8 sash window openings featuring brick jack arches undercut with a segmental arch. The pedimented front entrance is particularly noteworthy with its fluted pilasters that rise to a Doric frieze articulated with triglyphs. Fixed in the upper gable end is a round-arched window with interlacing muntins. The house is significant also for its intact interiors of 1780s Georgian-Federal woodwork. The first and second floors follow a four-room disposition with the stairhall located in the front, southwest corner. The cylindrical turned newel post and three rectangular balusters per tread support a molded handrail that ramps as it meets the first landing. The stringer is embellished with a Federal scroll decoration. Also distinguishing the interior are built-in shutters on the first floor and original six-panel doors, ogee backband surround moldings, and several original mantels.
Credit for the construction of this well-appointed brick house is awarded to John Callahan (c. 1754-1803), a prominent and wealthy Annapolitan who served as the Register of the Western Shore Land Office between 1778 and 1803. The John Callahan House is a significant example of colonial craftsmanship and design, and ranks among the major architectural monuments of Annapolis.

Kitchen Sink Chili
Recipe by Chef Kevin Roberts
Not all ground turkey is the same — some has the skin and dark meat added which ups the calories and fat grams. Check to make sure you are getting the leanest possible or, better yet, buy turkey breast and finely chop so that you know exactly what's in it.
Serves 6
- 3 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 green pepper, chopped
- 5 garlic cloves, chopped
- 5 assorted peppers — your choice, chopped
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 5 roma tomatoes, chopped
- 1 15-ounce can tomato sauce
- 1 6-ounce can tomato paste
- 2 cans kidney beans
- 1 6-ounce cup of water
Seasoning Ingredients:
- Oregano
- Salt
- Pepper & cayenne pepper sauce
- 1. In a big pot, heat olive oil.
- 2. When oil is hot, sauté onions, green peppers, garlic and other peppers for about 5 minutes.
- 3. Add the ground turkey. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes. You want to get everything nice and browned.
- 4. Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, kidney beans. Mix well.
- 5. Fill up the empty tomato paste can with water and pour into pot. Add the seasoning ingredients and stir in, cooking over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Stir often.
- 6. Turn flame down to low or simmer. Cook covered or uncovered for an hour, stirring every 15 or so minutes. You want to get chili to a nice chunky consistency.

|Revised Standard Version (RSV)
|New International Version (NIV)
|1 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit
|1 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the desert,
|2 for forty days in the wilderness, tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing in those days; and when they were ended, he was hungry.

|4 And Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone.'"
|4 Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone.' "
|5 And the devil took him up, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time,
|5 The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.
|6 and said to him, "To you I will give all this authority and their glory; for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will.
|6 And he said to him, "I will give you all their authority and splendor, for it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to.
|7 If you, then, will worship me, it shall all be yours."
|7 So if you worship me, it will all be yours."
|8 And Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.'"
|8 Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.' "
|9 And he took him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here;
|9 The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down from here.
|10 for it is written, 'He will give his angels charge of you, to guard you,'
|10 For it is written: " 'He will command his angels concerning you to guard you carefully;
|11 and 'On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.'"
|11 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.' "
|12 And Jesus answered him, "It is said, 'You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'"
|12 Jesus answered, "It says: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.' "
|13 And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him until an opportune time.
|13 When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time.

|15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
|15 He taught in their synagogues, and everyone praised him.

|16 He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read.
|17 and there was given to him the book of the prophet Isaiah. He opened the book and found the place where it was written,
|17 The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:

|19 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."
|20 And he closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him.
|20 Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him,
|21 And he began to say to them, "Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."
|21 and he began by saying to them, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."
|22 And all spoke well of him, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth; and they said, "Is not this Joseph's son?"
|22 All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his lips. "Isn't this Joseph's son?" they asked.
|23 And he said to them, "Doubtless you will quote to me this proverb, 'Physician, heal yourself; what we have heard you did at Caper'na-um, do here also in your own country.'"
|23 Jesus said to them, "Surely you will quote this proverb to me: 'Physician, heal yourself ! Do here in your hometown what we have heard that you did in Capernaum.' "
|24 And he said, "Truly, I say to you, no prophet is acceptable in his own country.
|24 "I tell you the truth," he continued, "no prophet is accepted in his hometown.
|25 But in truth, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Eli'jah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine over all the land;
|25 I assure you that there were many widows in Israel in Elijah's time, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and there was a severe famine throughout the land.
|26 and Eli'jah was sent to none of them but only to Zar'ephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.
|26 Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon.
|27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Eli'sha; and none of them was cleansed, but only Na'aman the Syrian."
|27 And there were many in Israel with leprosy in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed--only Naaman the Syrian."
|28 When they heard this, all in the synagogue were filled with wrath.
|28 All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heard this.
|29 And they rose up and put him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong.
|29 They got up, drove him out of the town, and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him down the cliff.
|30 But passing through the midst of them he went away.
|30 But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way.
|31 And he went down to Caper'na-um, a city of Galilee. And he was teaching them on the sabbath;
|31 Then he went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath began to teach the people.
|32 and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority.
|32 They were amazed at his teaching, because his message had authority.
|33 And in the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon; and he cried out with a loud voice,
|33 In the synagogue there was a man possessed by a demon, an evil spirit. He cried out at the top of his voice,
|34 "Ah! What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God."
|34 "Ha! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are--the Holy One of God!"
|35 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him!" And when the demon had thrown him down in the midst, he came out of him, having done him no harm.
|35 "Be quiet!" Jesus said sternly. "Come out of him!" Then the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without injuring him.
|36 And they were all amazed and said to one another, "What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out."
|36 All the people were amazed and said to each other, "What is this teaching? With authority and power he gives orders to evil spirits and they come out!"
|37 And reports of him went out into every place in the surrounding region.
|37 And the news about him spread throughout the surrounding area.
|38 And he arose and left the synagogue, and entered Simon's house. Now Simon's mother-in-law was ill with a high fever, and they besought him for her.
|38 Jesus left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon. Now Simon's mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Jesus to help her.
|39 And he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her; and immediately she rose and served them.
|39 So he bent over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. She got up at once and began to wait on them.
|40 Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them and healed them.
|40 When the sun was setting, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one, he healed them.
|41 And demons also came out of many, crying, "You are the Son of God!" But he rebuked them, and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.
|41 Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, "You are the Son of God!" But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew he was the Christ.
|42 And when it was day he departed and went into a lonely place. And the people sought him and came to him, and would have kept him from leaving them;
|42 At daybreak Jesus went out to a solitary place. The people were looking for him and when they came to where he was, they tried to keep him from leaving them.
|43 but he said to them, "I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other cities also; for I was sent for this purpose."
|43 But he said, "I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent."
|44 And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.
|44 And he kept on preaching in the synagogues of Judea.

Also the fact he hunts children towards the end does not seem like it should be available for a child!All in all, it's awful!!!

Runyan Announces $1.33 million FEMA Grant to Brick Township
Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Jon Runyan (NJ-3) announced that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has awarded a grant of $1,338,746.43 to Brick Township. The funding will be used to repair Docks A and B at Traders Cove Marina, which were damaged in Hurricane Sandy. Runyan made the following statement:
"Brick Township suffered tremendous damages during Hurricane Sandy and can use this assistance to rebuild and recover," stated Runyan. "I look forward to continuing to work with our shore communities to see that they receive the support they need to be made whole again."
Brick Township also received a $1.47M grant from FEMA in late April to help the town recover after Super Storm Sandy. The grant provided federal funding for Emergency Protective Measures to assist in projects such as clearing roadways, providing sheltering, and around the clock police protection for facilities destroyed or damaged as a result of Hurricane Sandy.

I've spent the afternoon staring at USB traces trying to grok the leap motion at a protocol level, no huge progress (most of the time reminding myself how USB works). I have at least replicated the openleap instructions so can capture raw data.
Here are a couple of scary photos of me in component stereo (simple red/green and rgb with the blue channel is the difference channel) :
The results from openCV's stereo correlation aren't quite there yet : (no doubt due to my coding):
The minority report hand wavy stuff is interesting but I'm more interested to see if I can get one working as a well-calibrated robotics image sensor – the field of view on these cameras is immense (150 degrees or thereabouts) and the stereo obviously can't hurt.
Next stop – fish out an IR laser line from one of the many boxes of bits upstairs (and try not to fry the CCD like I did last time) and do some scanning experiments .

A while ago we visited Becky in London and she took us to Unto This Last on Brick Lane - it's a really clever operation - design nice furniture that can be made using a simple laminated CNC-cut plywood process and then make it on-demand on a massive CNC mill in the back of the shop.
Sadly they don't deliver outside of London but it got me thinking whether or not an amateur could follow more or less the same process either at home with a manual router and hand-made templates or using a local CNC service (there are several within a short drive of Bath).
we've been after a TV-stand-come-side board for a while and I've been playing around with designing something which could be built using this process:
It would need cutting up to make sensible use of the ply boards (otherwise it would use something like 10 1.2x2m boards at ££ each) but I think it's doable.
From a home-made perspective I was also thinking it would be cool to make it using recycled wood in small sections and then press it together hotch-potch style.

Wrought Iron
Wrought iron for the new bicycle lanes in the East End
New bicycle lanes in the East End to open soon
by Caitlin Koenig
For three years, residents of the East End met with the Department of Transportation and City Council to come up with a plan for a safer, more pleasant neighborhood. And by the end of the month, the orange barrels throughout the East End will be gone, and the longest, flattest bicycle route in the city will be open.
Construction has been done in stages, and everything from Delta Avenue to downtown has been redone as part of the plan. When the Delta end was finished, a leg of bicycle lanes was put in through St. Andrews, which is the section of the route that will open at the end of the month, says East End resident Jackie Weist.
The bicycle lanes are, in part, an effort to reduce the noise coming from US-50 and US-52. There are now engine brake signs along the highways, but that hasn't eliminated the noise. Residents hope the bicycle lanes will force drivers to slow down and reduce the amount of traffic through the neighborhood.
The East End bicycle facility has been on the books since 1992 when the City reconfigured the neighborhood. The area is ideal because it's flat, it connects to the Ohio River Trail where the East End ends, and it goes by Lunken Airport and along Riverside Drive.
"We hope the new bicycle lanes will bring more bicyclists to the area and bring awareness to what's going on down here," says Weist.
There's a lot of history in the East End—a steamboat captain's home has been remodeled, and rock walls and wrought iron are prevalent. It's also home to Lunken Airport, the oldest commercial airport in the United States, and the oldest Yacht Club in Ohio.
Depending on the construction, a ribbon cutting is tentatively planned for July 28. It will include a clean up of the area, and may be followed by dinner at BrewRiver Gastropub. Queen City Bike is working with the East End Community Council to plan the event.

Wrought iron furniture for the new patio at Ohio City restaurant
Worth the effort
Eric Williams, owner and chef of Momocho, inherited a patio at his Ohio City restaurant at 1835 Fulton Road. Unfortunately, the split level structure was constructed of uneven bricks and pavers, surrounded by an old wooden fence, and it slowly was succumbing to the roots of an old mulberry tree.
After the first three seasons at the location, Mr. Williams moved to update the outdoor space.
The $12,000 redesign included leveling the ground, creating handicap-accessible seating, updating plumbing to ensure proper drainage, improving electrical systems, and installing new cedar fencing and a new server station.
A new maple tree, wrought iron furniture and a 38-foot locally handcrafted L-shaped bench finished off the remodel. But before all these changes were possible, Mr. Williams had to jump through a few hoops.
Because Ohio City is a historical neighborhood Mr. Williams approached Ohio City Inc. for its stamp of approval. The community development organization's only stipulation was to not add anything ostentatious, like a giant waterfall or painting the thing pink, Mr. Williams said.
The new patio paid for itself in less than one season. It seats anywhere from 24 to 36 additional customers and brings in an additional $125,000 to $150,000 in the four months of the year it is available, Mr. Williams estimated. It also helps with crowd control and wait times on a busy night.
Although Mr. Williams recognizes the value of patio seating, it is not logistically possible at his new Lakewood restaurant, El Carnicero, at 16918 Detroit Ave. But he is so sold on the benefits of outdoor seating that he worked out an agreement with his landlord to split the cost of adding to the building awnings with either retracting bay windows or garage doors to accomplish the patio spirit.

Wrought iron history in Ottawa
Outstanding Ottawa
by Krys Stefansky
TIMING IS everything. When we got to Ottawa after the city's tulip festival ended, we stomped our feet and gnashed our teeth and hoped there would be other stuff to do. And there was.
Canada's superclean capital, like so much of the countryside we saw from the plane before landing in Ontario, bristles with beautiful evergreens – pines, firs and juniper varieties – that give structure and interest to parks and tiny garden pockets everywhere in the city.
An example was right outside our windows at Lord Elgin Hotel. Across the street, Confederation Park was lush with old trees, flower beds and dotted with statuary such as the National Aboriginal Veterans Monument and a beautiful fountain to honor a fellow we would soon get to know, the famed John By.
We started with a walking tour of Canada's capital the day of our arrival and spotted the Rideau Canal, a man-made waterway constructed from 1826 to 1832 to connect the city of Kingston, at the head of Lake Ontario, to Ottawa.
Following the War of 1812, it offered a safer shipping route than did the less defensible St. Lawrence River. In winter, when it freezes over, Ottawans skate on it. How cool is that?
The Rideau Canal and Bytown Museum is a great place to learn the history of the canal's construction, of Ottawa itself, and to see artifacts related to Lt. Col. John By, the fellow placed in charge of building it.
Right in the heart of this urban bustle, you can watch from several vantage points as the flight of eight canal locks opens and closes for boats. Here, as on signage all over the city in front of many war memorials and statues, you can inform yourself. The canal's banks feature beautifully landscaped bike and inline skating paths.
Then we headed to the Byward Market, several blocks of excellent restaurants with food from every corner of the globe, many with outdoor seating and a shopping district with things for every taste and budget.
The Market – quelle surprise! – was also begun by Lt. Col. By. In 1826 he designed the streets of the public market to be wide enough for the horse-drawn carriages that delivered food to its open-air stands.
Ottawans still come here to buy cut flowers, fresh fruits, vegetables, bedding plants and potted annuals. I sneaked over at least once a day during our stay, no matter what else was on our agenda, to browse and buy something sweet at Le Moulin de Provence, a French bakery, cafe, soup and sandwich shop with an astonishing array of cakes, pastries, tarts, breads, and light and flaky croissants as big as my head.
French is spoken and written, and French things are for sale everywhere. Canadians seem to wait until you open your mouth to assess in which language to answer. We love that.
We rested at The Brig Pub on York for a bite to eat. Pubs, we found, are on many street corners here, an echo of the region's other, this time British, roots.
The next day, we peeked into the famous Fairmont Chateau Laurier, a swanky hotel that looks like a French castle and was built by American Charles Melville Hays, who was manager of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway of Canada. He wanted to attract tourists by train.
He died on the Titanic, so the opening of the hotel was delayed until that summer of 1912. We wandered around the lavish ground floor, looking at archival photographs of its early days. When it opened, rooms rented for $2 a night. Too bad that deal's over.
We headed around the corner onto Sussex Drive, passed the well-fortified U.S. Embassy, where we watched a guard inspect the underside of an entering car with a round mirror on a stick, then next door we ogled the Royal Canadian Mint and walked on to the Notre Dame Cathedral Basilica of Ottawa.
Glory be! What a beautiful church. Built from 1841 to 1885, the Gothic interior is lavishly painted wood, in part with faux treatments that mimic marble and other stone, or with intricate, stenciled, repeating designs. The altar, side altars and stained glass windows all deserve to be studied and enjoyed one by one.
The church stands across the street from rolling Major's Hill Park, where we saw a statue of By and sweeping flower beds freshly planted with perennials and summer annuals – no tulips, naturally – and, next door, the National Gallery of Canada.
On a plaza in front of the art museum is a massive bronze and stainless-steel spider more than 30 feet high. "Maman," a sculpture by Louise Bourgeois, has an egg sac full of marble eggs. This symbol of motherhood is a creepy, towering sight.
We made our way past the leggy arachnid for a leisurely stroll through two floors. Level Two is a diverse collection of Gothic, Baroque and Renaissance art that takes visitors through the centuries to Impressionism and beyond to the 20th century. Level One is devoted to modern art and an extensive collection of Early Aboriginal Art, Canadian art, art in Quebec, Ontario and the Maritimes.
We broke for snacks and stared out the window at Roxy Paine's "One Hundred Foot Line," a stainless-steel sculpture like a crooked finger pointing skyward. Just before closing, we raced past the airy and leafy Garden Court into the Rideau Street Convent Chapel, completed in 1888. This beautiful, elaborately painted and stenciled Gothic Revival space has a ceiling of fan vaults that look, literally, like open fans. It was saved from demolition and reconstructed inside the museum. So lovely.
Our brains numb with fabulous impressions, we had dinner at a cozy Italian restaurant, Vetta Osteria and Bar, on Bank Street. One wall opened, offering al fresco dining. If you go, try the Penne Osteria with sausage, onions and mushrooms.
The next day, eager to see Parliament Hill, seat of Canada's federal government and buildings iconic to the city's skyline, we got tickets for a free tour.
In a word, the grounds, buildings and Victorian summer pavilion are stately. Ottawa was chosen as Canada's capital in 1857. Constructed in the 1860s in Gothic Revival style, their verdigris copper roofs and filigree wrought-iron work can be seen for miles on a bluff overlooking the Ottawa River. It's hard to believe that, in 1916, nearly the entire Centre Block – the main structure with the clock tower in it – burned down and had to be rebuilt.
Up close, it's interesting to study the stonework of the pointed arches, the masonry and amusing stone carvings: grotesques, or scary faces, shaped like fanciful animals and creatures. On our tour, we were allowed a scant few, silent moments inside the stunning Library of Parliament, a symmetrical High Victorian Gothic Revival space with a parquet floor of cherry, oak and walnut and paneling of carved white pine.
In the middle stands a luminous white marble statue of Queen Victoria. Our eyes still shooting back and forth, they shooed us out so government workers could labor in peace.
We came back to Parliament Hill after dark. Lit, the buildings had a haunting beauty. Officer Ross Taylor of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police chatted us up from his patrol car and presented us with maple leaf pins and a sticker. So friendly.
In a cultural shift that by now felt so normal for Ottawa, we walked to Chinatown for a great meal at Yangtze Dining Lounge. They prepare Cantonese and Szechuan dishes in a strangely modern building just past the colorful Chinatown Gateway.
On our last day, in the rain we hoofed it from our hotel across the Pont Alexandra Bridge high over the Ottawa River to the city of Gatineau in neighboring Quebec and the Canadian Museum of Civilization. Fabulously large and newly renovated and stuffed full of Canada's social and human history, it's the place to learn about the country's First People. In the Grand Hall are scores of totem poles from the Aboriginals on the Pacific Coast and thousands of artifacts – tools, clothing, tents, canoes.
On the third floor, in Canada Hall, life-sized settings allow visitors to explore 1,000 years of the country's history. The entire place wore out our feet.
We agreed that we would love to vacation here again. Friends invited us to their home in the suburbs for a meal of tender barbecued venison; others took us out for Thai food in Byward Market and for dessert at BeaverTails.
This popular stand sells deep-fried dough flattened into an oval. Our favorite version was slathered with melted butter and generously drizzled with maple syrup. We heard that, in winter, these have to be gobbled up really fast or the syrupy topping hardens to icing. It's a decadent, artery-blocking treat. We went back twice more.
Next time in Ottawa, we'd take a boat trip on either the Rideau Canal or Ottawa River. Or both. Why not? We'd visit Gatineau Park, a huge nature preserve with free admission, offering all kinds of hiking, biking, even beaches.
And we'd be sure not to miss the Canadian Tulip Festival, celebrating Canada's friendship with the Dutch Royal family. Ever since the royals were offered safety in Canada during World War II, the grateful Dutch have sent tulips to Canada. One day we'll see that.

A wrought iron chandelier for the Plantation Homes
Southport stunner has Surfers views
by Shae Johnson
UNINTERRUPTED views across a tranquil non-tidal lake within Surfers Waters Estate adds to the appeal of this contemporary dual-storey residence.
Margaret and Bernard Quirk and their three daughters were living in a single-level house within the exclusive gated estate when they bought this property for $1.55 million four years ago. "We love being in a gated estate, the security is great and it's so lovely and quiet and peaceful," Mrs Quirk said. "We love the wide water and this is a good entertaining home."
The contemporary, dual-storey Plantation Homes residence of 474sqhm presents with a rendered facade. A stacked stone water feature sits before the sandstone front porch where double doors open to a foyer where cream polished porcelain floor tiles are introduced, a wrought-iron chandelier hangs within a void and a split staircase makes for a feature.
Double doors to the right reveal a media loungeroom with white plantation timber shutters and cream carpet. To the left is a fully-tiled powder room, the laundry with stone surfaces and a folding room in which the Quirks have installed a shower. Blackbutt timber floors add warmth to the combined open-plan living and entertaining area which commences with a generous gourmet kitchen.
Cupboards are on both sides of a huge island bench topped with Caesarstone and there is a walk-in pantry, a five-burner gas cooktop, glass splashbacks and integrated Miele appliances. Double doors opposite the kitchen open to a study facing a patio courtyard with an awning.
Soft green walls skirt the billiards room, dining space and the living room where shutters dress glass sliding doors opening to a covered, sandstone tiled alfresco dining area and ensuing timber deck crowned by a pergola.
Glass facing allows for views across the tiled pool to the wide waters of the tidal lake while the Surfers Paradise skyline and prominent Q1 are seen to the side.
Upstairs is an open rumpus room, a bedroom, a fully tiled bathroom, two ensuited bedrooms and the master bedroom which has a dressing room, a private waterfront balcony and an open ensuite with a spa, a double vanity and a TV.
The triple garage has epoxy floors, drive through access on side and there is off-street parking for an additional five vehicles. Body corporate fees are about $55 per week and the gated estate.

Blade Runner, Bradbury Building and wrought iron railings
We visit the Bradbury Building, where the past and future collide in Blade Runner
by Sean O'Neal
When Ridley Scott needed a place to stage the climax of Blade Runner—his sci-fi noir set in a future Los Angeles that's also a graveyard of its past—he found it, and the film's conceptual epicenter, in the Bradbury Building. The architectural marvel has been around since 1893, its elaborate wrought-iron railings, cage elevators propelled by exposed gears and pulleys, and enormous peaked skylight all straddling several centuries of design past and yet-to-be. Like the world depicted in the film, it's a clash that makes the Bradbury feel completely divorced from time. And like a Replicant, it's a thing of power and beauty, crafted from cold mechanics.
As pointed out by our guest, film locations expert Harry Medved, it's also a really great place to stage a detective story. Over the years, the Bradbury has played host to numerous cat-and-mouse games, long before Harrison Ford prowled it looking for Rutger Hauer, including classic noirs like D.O.A. (and some not-so-classics like I, The Jury). The wide, facing sets of staircases and long, parallel landings provide the perfect environment for stalking and chasing. All five floors look down upon an open court that practically begs for a shootout scene or someone plummeting to their death. It's even got genuine detective bona fides, seeing as the LAPD's Internal Affairs Department currently calls it home.
Likewise, the Bradbury's connection to tales of the strange and fantastic also goes back for decades—way before Blade Runner, or its appearance in The Outer Limits episode "Demon With A Glass Hand"—to its very inception. According to legend, the building's architect, George Wyman, initially refused to take on the project, but relented after a conversation he says he had with his dead brother through a Ouija board. Wyman claims he received a message from beyond reading, "Take the Bradbury building and you will be successful" (with the word "successful" written upside down). For years, that message resided in the possession of Wyman's grandson—the late author, collector, and all-around science-fiction enthusiast Forrest J. Ackerman.
Even Wyman's design had its roots in sci-fi, inspired as it was by Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward, an 1887 novel that envisioned a utopian society in the far-off year 2000. In Bellamy's future, the average commercial building was a "vast hall of light" flooded by an overhead dome—a description Wyman made a reality in the Bradbury, which glows from its center with a heart of pure sunshine. The surrounding railings, gnarled to create the illusion of growing vegetation, complete the impression of life emanating from so much dead marble and iron.
Of course, by the time Ridley Scott sought the Bradbury out in 1981, it wasn't life he was looking for. By then the building had fallen into disrepair, its once-grand interior dilapidated and thus easily transformed into the sort of murky, neglected corner that William Sanderson's J.F. Sebastian could hole up in and similarly age before his time. As glimpsed in the movie, across the street there was also the Million Dollar Theater—once the lavish playground of film's most famous stars, now mostly a memorial to that golden era. The Bradbury and its section of South Broadway was thus the perfect setting for a future Los Angeles that seemed to be suffocating on the broken reminders of itself.
It's gotten better. A massive restoration of the Bradbury was undertaken in 1991, and as the real world nears the dystopian 2019 seen in the film, the 2013 Bradbury gleams and bustles with both tenants and visiting cinema buffs. Its depiction in more modern movies reflects that rebirth: It's the place where Joseph Gordon-Levitt goes, full of optimism, to seek new opportunities professional and otherwise at the end of (500) Days Of Summer. It's where Jean Dujardin and Bérénice Bejo symbolically meet on the stairs in The Artist, what's behind and what's to come once more crossing trajectories in the Bradbury's halls. And even if, let's say, Los Angeles does become an unlivable wasteland prompting its citizens to seek new lives in off-world colonies, it seems likely that the Bradbury will still be standing, a lasting monument to dreams of the future.

"We have been visiting Ketchikan once or twice a year for nine years. Anchor Inn by the Sea is our favorite place to stay. The views are spectacular, the grounds are beautiful, the accommodations comfortable and well stocked, pride of ownership is evident in each well appointed apartment, and the owners, Mary and Greg give us just the right amount of attention to make each stay enjoyable and memorable. Views from the kitchen table and the porch include fishing boats of all sizes and types, passenger ferries, cruise ships, cargo barges, local skiffs, and kayakers. Float planes fly to and from fishing camps and other destinations. Marine life includes humpback whales, orcas, porpoises and salmon. We have seen eagles fishing and watched ravens, mink and other wildlife. Sunsets are stunning."Guest: CuzcoPam Date of Stay: July 2014 Review Submitted: August 22, 2014View listing

Poe Ballantine on the true source of Clapton's immortality.
I first met David Gates—former editor at Newsweek, Pulitzer Prize finalist for fiction, contributor to OA's music issue—in the mid-aughts, when I was a graduate student studying writing at The New School MFA program in New York City. We shared an enthusiasm for country and old-time music, though it became clear quickly enough that Gates was a layman scholar of these traditions, whereas I was just fumbling around. He turned me onto the New Lost City Ramblers, Joseph Spence, Tommy Jarrell and Fred Cockerham, George Jones and Gene Pitney. I admired and envied the seemingly superhuman scope of his musical knowledge, and also the fact that he didn't just listen: He played.
For lack of a better term.
From The OA's Mississippi Music Issue: "Food and family, it is said, were the only sanctioned topics of conversation in the Polite South of myth and memory; anything else—politics, race, religion, most aspects of sex—was a sure cure for sanity, if not a shortcut to utter social ruin."
From The OA's Mississippi Music Issue, 2011: "The Billboard charts are filthy with people who've helped themselves to tiny pieces of the Syl Johnson songbook. Public Enemy. Ice Cube. De La Soul. Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch. Both The Beastie and The Geto Boys. Michael Jackson. And every conceivable branch of The Wu-Tang Clan."
From The OA's Mississippi Music Issue, 2011: "The Hilltops, still in their early twenties, are riding the crest of Oxford's Golden Age. The town has become a creative Mecca of sorts—"The Vatican City of Southern Letters," according to Pat Conroy. The literary Big Dogs are in plain sight: Hannah, Brown, Grisham, Morris. The music scene is thriving. Fat Possum Records is recording hill-country bluesmen R.L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough; bands like Mud Boy & The Neutrons and The Grifters come through Oxford to perform. The Memphis photographer William Eggleston can sometimes be seen lurking around The Square, which is still the locus of business in Oxford."
From The OA's Mississippi Music Issue, 2011: "This brings me to some remarks that must be made about the exterior of Tyler Keith's head: it is the hardest, most indestructible one ever. Someone at NASA, or NASCAR, needs to analyze it."

From The OA's 11th Annual Music Issue: "Here's a band from Mississippi, basically in my own backyard, whose jangly guitars sonically related to everything I loved about early R.E.M. and, at times, The Connells. How did a band this good—who could hold their own against early Stipe and Mills—fly so far under my radar?"

Barn structures are pre-engineered buildings that are typically designed and crafted to meet the needs of individuals who need to house livestock, store farming equipment and farming supplies. However, individuals use them for a variety of purposes. You can purchase them in a variety of sizes and styles, or you can have a structure custom-made to suit your storage needs. Barn structures can include sheds, stalls and greenhouses, and there is no restriction on how you can use them. These prefab buildings are easy to find, and there are a wide variety of barn structure manufacturers in most rural areas.
The Steel Advantage
Using steel is one of the most popular methods of constructing a long-lasting structure. Prefab barn structures almost always use steel to form the frame of the barn as well as those parts of the structure that receive large amounts of stress or tension. Steel can withstand tension and stress better than wood can, which means your barn will be around for a long time. It also means that prefab barns are less likely to experience rot or insect infestation.
Up in No Time
Prefab buildings are often chosen over original wooden structures due to the relative ease with which they can be constructed. Prefabricated means these barn structures follow a set design that has been tested and honed hundreds of times before in an effort to produce a barn that can be put up with minimal construction experience. With ease of use comes speed. Since these barns are so simple to construct, they can be built in shorter periods of time. According to buildingsguide.com, the average time it takes to fully erect a prefab barn is around three days, no more than a weekend, while a full-blown construction project usually takes at least two to three weeks. This means that you, the consumer, can put your new barn to use much more quickly than a contractor-constructed barn.
Save Money
Paying a contractor to do the labor, transportation, and construction of your barn will cost you a sizable amount of money. Getting barn structures from a prefab buildings manufacturer eliminates the need for this expensive middleman. Many prefab barns come prebuilt, while others arrive in a few large pieces that you simply need to attach to one another. According to another article on buildingsguide.com, straight-walled prefab barns usually only cost somewhere around $7 per square foot, while traditional wooden barns typically cost around $9 per square foot. These prefab buildings are made of steel and require very little maintenance, making them the most economic choice for both immediate and long-term use.
A Guarantee
Try to look for a contractor who will guarantee his work against any damages, and you will be searching for a very long time. Due to the strong steel construction, companies that manufacture prefab barn structures almost always offer a long-term guarantee on their product in the event of any damage or loss of durability that may occur.
Barn structures are available in a variety of styles, shapes and sizes and are necessary for storing farm equipment, landscaping supplies and animals. While there are many benefits to purchasing barn structures, there are some factors that you should consider before purchasing one.
Building Permits
You must adhere to your city or county's local building codes to avoid getting fined. Therefore, there is a high likelihood that you will have to obtain a building permit. It can take a long time to obtain your permit, which will put limits on how you can use your structure. After obtaining your permit, you may still have limits on where you can place your structure and how you can use it. Also, the amount of money you pay in property taxes will increase once you obtain it.
Customizing your barn structure can be costly. Most individuals want to enhance their structures by install openings, windows, garage doors and other conveniences to make it more accessible. Others need to customize their structures to ensure that their animals fit inside of it comfortably. Barn structure owners also need to make sure that their animals and supplies are safe when they are not around. Unless you purchase a custom-built structure, you will have to spend a few thousand dollars to customize the structure to your liking.
Installing Floors
The majority of barn structures do not include floors. Therefore, you will either have to install the floor yourself or pay someone to install it for you. Most barn structure owners eventually install floors because they provide stability to the building's sidewalls. Dirt and gravel floors are a low-cost option, but these floors erode easily and are subject to drainage. They also do not support the barn's overall structure. While this may not be an issue for individuals who choose to line the bottom of their structures with hay or mulch, those who use their structures to store tools and other specialized equipment will need to spend money installing wood or concrete floors.
It is very important to maintain the cleanliness of your structure to keep your animals from getting sick. You must also clean the drainage system regularly to prevent flooding. Dirt, manure and dust tend to hold a lot of moisture, which can cause mold and mildew to develop. If you allow these items to linger, both you and your animals can become deathly ill. You will need to invest in wheelbarrows and cleaning supplies to regularly disinfect the area. If you have horses, you will need to repair your horse stable walls quite frequently. Maintaining your barn structure will be very time consuming and costly.
The cost of prefab barn structures varies, depending on your needs. Factors such as overall size and the number of stalls you would like installed all contribute to the final price. One look at prefab barns versus conventional wooden barns shows that the average cost of straight-walled prefab barn structures is between $7 and $22 per square foot, while wooden barns usually cost around $7 to $9 per square foot.
While the up-front prices may seem similar or even tipped in favor of wooden barns, the true value of prefab barn structures shows itself after other costs and long-term care are considered. Prefab barns are either pre-constructed or broken into several large pieces, and they require almost no initial labor. A contractor, on the other hand, will charge not only for materials but also for labor, time, and transportation. When you take these factors into account in addition to the fact that prefab barns are constructed almost entirely from steel, which requires minimal maintenance and will not wear out or fall apart at the same rate wood will, it is evident that prefab barns offer a greater return on investment than conventional wooden ones.
Purchasing a barn structure can be a great investment. These buildings are designed to last for many years, and they can greatly enhance the value of your property. Keep in mind that you must insure your barn structure to ensure that it is adequately protected. In addition, buildings that house animals are highly susceptible to pests, so it is also a good idea to maintain a good pest control system within your structure. Search for companies that specialize in creating barn structures that are strong and functional, and make sure that the manufacturer you purchase from offers a warranty of at least 15 years.
Are you looking for an effective means of protecting your livestock, farm equipment, crops or other commodities? The elements can be unpredictable and a sturdy source of shelter can be a worthwhile investment. Steel barns represent a sturdy and dependable means of providing such shelter.
There are reliable providers nationwide who can furnish you with custom built and prefabricated steel barns. Structures can be specially built or ordered to your specifications so that you'll be able to get the exact right sized barn for your needs.
Many providers offer delivery and set-up as part of their service while others will merely ship you a dissembled structure for you to erect yourself. It's a good idea to clarify with your provider what exactly their service entails.
Steel buildings, barns and sheds are available in durable materials that will withstand the elements for years to come.

Cruising to Top Gunn
Posted in England Women
With all the snow that fell before we were due to fly to New Zealand I decided to delay my packing until I knew Danni Hazell was on her to pick me up from Durham.
It meant a slight rush but as long as I had my cricket kit I knew I would be fine.
It was a long trip - we took off on Sunday and arrived Tuesday afternoon in Christchurch, but it went quite quickly. When we arrived it was like an English summer's day, cool and quite a lot of cloud. The evening was quite short due to jet lag and it wasn't long before I was jumping into bed.
On our first full day we decided to go for a bike ride around Christchurch for our recovery session. Laura Marsh, Heather Knight, Lydia Greenway, Isa Guha and I set out across the park - well, that was until my bike started shaking and my pedal fell off. I can't say it was the best start but we managed to fix it and Lydia rode it round the city.
Our first team meeting was just a quick update about the next few days but with one surprise when we found out we were going to be put into two fielding groups for training.
Lydia and I are the two team captains of Green Army and Top Gunners and we definitely have the better theme tune - Danger Zone from the Top Gun soundtrack. I'm sure it will get us fired up. As for the Green Army they have been singing along to The Wurzels' Combine Harvester song!
It was so cold when I was warming up for our first of three games against New Zealand emerging players that I had four layers on, but by the end of the day I had just a T-shirt. Everyday we have to pack for two different seasons. It's just like being in England.
Lottie (Charlotte Edwards) was on fire in the first game, she brought up her century and kicked on from there until she retired on 123 from just 104 balls. We should have ended up on a bigger score but we finally set them a total of 292 to win.
Anya Shrubsole set the tone with the ball and we were excited behind the stumps as she was bowling with pace and bounce. Anya finished the game off with one that flew to me at second slip. I flung an arm out and it stuck which brought up a well deserved five-wicket haul for Anya. My brother would have said it was an easy catch and that I should have got two hands to it.
Our other two warm-up matches were Twenty20s and both went very well. In the first we restricted them to just 86 and in reply Tammy Beaumont and Laura Marsh opened the batting and took it straight to them. In the fourth over we were 34 for two which brought the dangerous Sarah Taylor and Lydia Greenway to the crease. Within six overs we had won, mainly due to Sarah smashing 43 runs off just 23 balls.
When it came to our last game the weather had turned from cold to wet. We were delayed due to rain which gave us a chance to get our team dartboard out. We only played 301 but it's safe to say we aren't the best at hitting a double.
The first game between Lydia and Heather versus Isa and Laura went on for so long we decided any double on the board would win it. It still took as long to finish the game.
We had a heavy downpour then were told we were on in 25 minutes which came as a bit of a surprise. We were put in to bat first and had a bit of a change around in the order. Despite losing a few early wickets Lydia stuck it out and hit 46 off 40 balls to get us up to a decent score of 140.
Another win ended a very good week's preparation out at Lincoln University before our first game on Friday against the White Ferns in Wellington.

This poster/flyer was done in Adobe Photoshop for my digital imaging class during the winter quarter of my sophomore year at OU. We chose an event in the Athens area and designed a poster for it using only images. My event was a stargazing night put on by one of the school's science departments at a time where Mercury, Venus, Mars, and the waxing gibbous moon were visible.
