text: Age: 30 Design experience: Three years working professionally with my mother [30-year Sarasota designer Bonnie Lancaster] at Lancaster-Humma-White Studio, the oldest design studio in Sarasota. What Mom taught me: I'd come here after school and help organize the library and file paperwork. My mother always wanted to share what she was doing creatively with me. We have clients who've been around since I was in kindergarten and now they're calling me for design help. Greatest challenge: Going back and forth between being highly creative and being practical in a business sense. What Sarasota needs: More variety in retail. I swore off palm trees the first year I was back in Sarasota, in 2003. Every accessory, every garbage can had a palm tree or a pineapple. Don't skimp on: Things that are long-term-flooring, window treatments, kitchen cabinetry. You don't want to pick a funky, bright blue tile that's going to look outdated in a year. Paint your wall bright blue instead. In two years when you're sick of it, it's easier to update. What's in my home: I'm painting my living room in Tibetan bright lavenders and pinks, very funky and fun. My roommate and I decided it's probably the last time we'd be able to have a pink living room. In my spare time: I'm on the board of directors of the Humane Society, and I'm the event planning chair of the Sarasota Young Professionals Group, so I don't have a lot of spare time.

The absurdity of idolatry. (1-16) Destruction denounced against Jerusalem. (17-25)
Verses 1-16 The prophet shows the glory of Israel's God, and exposes the folly of idolaters. Charms and other attempts to obtain supernatural help, or to pry into futurity, are copied from the wicked customs of the heathen. Let us stand in awe, and not dare provoke God, by giving that glory to another which is due to him alone. He is ready to forgive, and save all who repent and believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ. Faith learns these blessed truths from the word of God; but all knowledge not from that source, leads to doctrines of vanity.
Verses 17-25 The Jews who continued in their own land, felt secure. But, sooner or later, sinners will find all things as the word of God has declared, and that its threatenings are not empty terrors. Submission will support the believer under every grief allotted to him; but what can render the load of Divine vengeance easy to be borne by those who fall under it in sullen despair? Those cannot expect to prosper, who do not, by faith and prayer, take God with them in all their ways. The report of the enemy's approach was very dreadful. Yet the designs which men lay deep, and think well formed, are dashed to pieces in a moment. Events are often overruled, so as to be quite contrary to what we intended and expected. If the Lord has directed our steps into the ways of peace and righteousness, let us entreat him to enable us to walk therein. Say not, Lord, do not correct me; but, Lord, do not correct me in anger. We may bear the smart of God's rod, but we cannot bear the weight of his wrath. Those who restrain prayer, prove that they know not God; for those who know him will seek him, and seek his favour. If even severe corrections lead sinners to be convinced of wholesome truths, they will have abundant cause for gratitude. And they will then humble themselves before the Lord.
Jeremiah 10:1-25 . CONTRAST BETWEEN THE IDOLS AND JEHOVAH. THE PROPHET'S LAMENTATION AND PRAYER.
1. Israel--the Jews, the surviving representatives of the nation.
2. EICHORN thinks the reference here to be to some celestial portent which had appeared at that time, causing the Jews' dismay. Probably the reference is general, namely, to the Chaldeans, famed as astrologers, through contact with whom the Jews were likely to fall into the same superstition.
way--the precepts or ordinances ( Leviticus 18:3 , Acts 9:2 ).
signs of heaven--The Gentiles did not acknowledge a Great First Cause: many thought events depended on the power of the stars, which some, as PLATO, thought to be endued with spirit and reason. All heavenly phenomena, eclipses, comets, &c. are included.
one cutteth a tree, &c.--rather, "It (that which they busy themselves about: a sample of their 'customs') is a tree cut out of the forest" [MAURER].
4. fasten . . . move not--that is, that it may stand upright without risk of falling, which the god (!) would do, if left to itself ( Isaiah 41:7 ).
5. upright--or, "They are of turned work, resembling a palm tree" [MAURER]. The point of comparison between the idol and the palm is in the pillar-like uprightness of the latter, it having no branches except at the top.
speak not--( Psalms 115:5 ).
cannot go--that is, walk ( Psalms 115:7 , Isaiah 46:1 Isaiah 46:7 ).
neither . . . do good--( Isaiah 41:23 ).
6. none--literally, "no particle of nothing": nothing whatever; the strongest possible denial ( Exodus 15:11 , Psalms 86:8 Psalms 86:10 ).
7. ( Revelation 15:4 ).
to thee doth it appertain--to Thee it properly belongs, namely, that Thou shouldest be "feared" (taken out of the previous "fear Thee") (compare Ezekiel 21:27 ). He alone is the becoming object of worship. To worship any other is unseemly and an infringement of His inalienable prerogative.
none--nothing whatever Psalms 89:6 ).
8. altogether--rather, "all alike" [MAURER]. Even the so-called "wise" men ( Jeremiah 10:7 ) of the Gentiles are on a level with the brutes and "foolish," namely, because they connive at the popular idolatry (compare Romans 1:21-28 ). Therefore, in Daniel and Revelation, the world power is represented under a bestial form. Man divests himself of his true humanity, and sinks to the level of the brute, when he severs his connection with God ( Psalms 115:8 , Jonah 2:8 ).
stock is a doctrine of vanities--The stock (put for the worship of all idols whatever, made out of a stock) speaks for itself that the whole theory of idolatry is vanity ( Isaiah 44:9-11 ). CASTALIO translates, "the very wood itself confuting the vanity" (of the idol).
9. Everything connected with idols is the result of human effort.
Tarshish--Tartessus, in Spain, famed for precious metals.
Uphaz--( Daniel 10:5 ). As the Septuagint in the Syrian Hexapla in the Margin, THEODOTUS, the Syrian and Chaldee versions have "Ophir," GESENIUS thinks "Uphaz" a colloquial corruption (one letter only being changed) for "Ophir." Ophir, in Genesis 10:29 , is mentioned among Arabian countries. Perhaps Malacca is the country meant, the natives of which still call their gold mines Ophirs. HEEREN thinks Ophir the general name for the rich countries of the south, on the Arabian, African, and Indian coasts; just as our term, East Indies.
10. true God--literally, "God Jehovah is truth"; not merely true, that is, veracious, but truth in the reality of His essence, as opposed to the "vanity" or emptiness which all idols are ( Jeremiah 10:3 Jeremiah 10:8 Jeremiah 10:15 , 2 Chronicles 15:3 , Psalms 31:5 , 1 John 5:20 ).
living God--( John 5:26 , 1 Timothy 6:17 ). He hath life in Himself which no creature has. All else "live in Him" ( Acts 17:28 ). In contrast to dead idols.
everlasting--( Psalms 10:16 ). In contrast to the temporary existence of all other objects of worship.
11. This verse is in Chaldee, Jeremiah supplying his countrymen with a formula of reply to Chaldee idolaters in the tongue most intelligible to the latter. There may be also derision intended in imitating their barbarous dialect. ROSENMULLER objects to this view, that not merely the words put in the mouths of the Israelites, but Jeremiah's own introductory words, "Thus shall ye say to them," are in Chaldee, and thinks it to be a marginal gloss. But it is found in all the oldest versions. It was an old Greek saying: "Whoever thinks himself a god besides the one God, let him make another world" ( Psalms 96:5 ).
shall perish--( Isaiah 2:18 , Zechariah 13:2 ).
these heavens--the speaker pointing to them with his fingers.
12. Continuation of Jeremiah 10:10 , after the interruption of the thread of the discourse in Jeremiah 10:11 ( Psalms 136:5 Psalms 136:6 ).
13. Literally, "At the voice of His giving forth," that is, when He thunders. ( Job 38:34 , Psalms 29:3-5 ).
waters--( Genesis 1:7 )--above the firmament; heavy rains accompany thunder.
vapours . . . ascend--( Psalms 135:7 ).
treasures--His stores.
14. in his knowledge--"is rendered brutish by his skill," namely, in idol-making ( Jeremiah 10:8 Jeremiah 10:9 ). Thus the parallel, "confounded by the graven image," corresponds (so Jeremiah 51:17 ). Others not so well translate, "without knowledge," namely, of God (see Isaiah 42:17 , 45:16 , Hosea 4:6 ).
15. errors--deceptions; from a Hebrew root, "to stutter"; then meaning "to mock."
their visitation they--When God shall punish the idol-worshippers (namely, by Cyrus), the idols themselves shall be destroyed [ROSENMULLER] ( Jeremiah 10:11 ).
16. portion--from a Hebrew root, "to divide." God is the all-sufficient Good of His people ( Numbers 18:20 , Psalms 16:5 , 73:26 , Lamentations 3:24 ).
not like them--not like the idols, a vain object of trust ( Deuteronomy 32:31 ).
former of all things--the Fashioner (as a potter, Isaiah 64:8 ) of the universe.
rod of his inheritance--The portion marked off as His inheritance by the measuring rod ( Ezekiel 48:21 ). As He is their portion, so are they His portion ( Deuteronomy 32:9 ). A reciprocal tie (compare Jeremiah 51:19 , Psalms 74:2 , Margin). Others make "rod" refer to the tribal rod or scepter.
17. wares--thine effects or movable goods ( Ezekiel 12:3 ). Prepare for migrating as captives to Babylon. The address is to Jerusalem, as representative of the whole people.
inhabitant of the fortress--rather, "inhabitress of the fortress." Though thou now seemest to inhabit an impregnable fortress, thou shalt have to remove. "The land" is the champaign region opposed to the "fortified" cities. The "fortress" being taken, the whole "land" will share the disaster. HENDERSON translates, "Gather up thy packages from the ground." ROSENMULLER, for "fortress," translates, "siege," that is, the besieged city. The various articles, in this view, are supposed to be lying about in confusion on the ground during the siege.
18. sling out--expressing the violence and suddenness of the removal to Babylon. A similar image occurs in Jeremiah 16:13 , 1 Samuel 25:29 , Isaiah 22:17 Isaiah 22:18 .
at this once--at this time, now.
find it so--find it by experience, that is, feel it ( Ezekiel 6:10 ). MICHAELIS translates, "I will bind them together (as in a sling) that they may reach the goal" (Babylon). English Version is best: "that they may find it so as I have said" ( Numbers 23:19 , Ezekiel 6:10 ).
19. Judea bewails its calamity.
wound--the stroke I suffer under.
I must bear--not humble submission to God's will ( Micah 7:9 ), but sullen impenitence. Or, rather, it is prophetical of their ultimate acknowledgment of their guilt as the cause of their calamity ( Lamentations 3:39 ).
20. tabernacle is spoiled--metaphor from the tents of nomadic life; as these are taken down in a few moments, so as not to leave a vestige of them, so Judea ( Jeremiah 4:20 ).
cords--with which the coverings of the tent are extended.
21. pastors--the rulers, civil and religious. This verse gives the cause of the impending calamity.
22. bruit--rumor of invasion. The antithesis is between the voice of God in His prophets to whom they turned a deaf ear, and the cry of the enemy, a new teacher, whom they must hear [CALVIN].
north country--Babylon ( Jeremiah 1:15 ).
23. Despairing of influencing the people, he turns to God.
way of man not in himself--( Proverbs 16:1 , 20:24 , James 4:13 James 4:14 ). I know, O Jehovah, that the march of the Babylonian conqueror against me (Jeremiah identifying himself with his people) is not at his own discretion, but is overruled by Thee ( Isaiah 10:5-7 ; compare Jeremiah 10:19 ).
that walketh--when he walketh, that is, sets out in any undertaking.
direct . . . steps--to give a prosperous issue to ( Psalms 73:23 ).
24, 25. Since I (my nation) must be corrected (justice requiring it because of the deep guilt of the nation), I do not deprecate all chastisement, but pray only for moderation in it ( Jeremiah 30:11 , Psalms 6:1 , 38:1 ); and that the full tide of Thy fury may be poured out on the heathen invaders for their cruelty towards Thy people. Psalms 79:6 Psalms 79:7 , a psalm to be referred to the time of the captivity, its composer probably repeated this from Jeremiah. The imperative, "Pour out," is used instead of the future, expressing vividly the certainty of the prediction, and that the word of God itself effects its own declarations. Accordingly, the Jews were restored after correction; the Babylonians were utterly extinguished.
know thee . . . call . . . on thy name--Knowledge of God is the beginning of piety; calling on Him the fruit.
heathen . . . Jacob--He reminds God of the distinction He has made between His people whom Jacob represents, and the heathen aliens. Correct us as Thy adopted sons, the seed of Jacob; destroy them as outcasts ( Zechariah 1:14 Zechariah 1:15 Zechariah 1:21 ).

Level 5: Changing Organizational Practices
Adopting regulations and shaping norms to prevent violence and improve safety
Campuses are made up of a multitude of smaller organizations and communities each with its own unique culture and norms. Activities at this level may focus on specific academic departments, faculty senate, student organizations, athletic teams and departments, media, or residence hall communities, among others. Level 5 focuses on improving the internal culture and norms of these sub-groups and organizations around gender, sexual violence, and relationships. For example, offering bystander intervention training to student leaders in fraternities and sororities could work to change norms around intervening when they witness inappropriate behavior during a party. Another example is encouraging the student health center to distribute brochures about healthy relationship and healthy sexuality.
High rates of alcohol use and abuse is common on campus, and social norms surrounding alcohol use often encourage unhealthy consumption. Excessive use of alcohol is also correlated with sexual assault on campus. Collaborating with campus groups working on decreasing alcohol use and abuse is another opportunity to influence the norms and practices around drinking. If underage drinking is a problem on your campus, consider ways that you can tie drinking culture to sexual assault in a non-victim-blaming way to promote healthier behaviors. Perhaps reaching out to local bars and bartenders about their role in preventing sexual violence by becoming active bystanders could also be effective. For more resources on alcohol and sexual violence on campus, visit http://www.nsvrc.org/saam/campus-resource-list [1].
Campus media is another important cultural institution on campus and an outlet for raising awareness and disseminating messages about prevention of sexual violence. The NSVRC has created, in collaboration with the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape, three op-ed articles specifically for campus media. Click here (http://www.nsvrc.org/saam/campus-op-eds [2]) to view these op-eds (they are available in Word format so you can customize and edit them).
In 2007, University of Vermont President Daniel Mark Fogel established the President's Commission on Social Change to lead the way in a campus-wide anti-violence initiative following the rape and murder of a UVM student. The mission of the President's Commission on Social Change (PCSC) is "to make recommendations to the President, acting as a catalyst and advocate in addressing key challenges facing the health and safety of UVM's campus community." The Commission is composed of subcommittees that address the following:
Committee members are responsible for researching, monitoring, and reporting on the status of the campus community's health and safety as it relates to each of these areas. Committee members identify institutional efforts to deal with challenges to health and safety and review policies and programs that could be implemented to improve these areas. Members then collaborate with other campus leaders and organizations to ensure that recommendations are implemented (after approval by the larger commission and the President). The commission monitors programs after implementation and assists in evaluating the effectiveness of each implemented recommendation.
While still a fairly new entity, the gender-based and sexual violence committee has successfully led the way in changing practices related to sexual and interpersonal violence on the UVM campus. After reviewing the Athletic Department Code of Student-Athlete Conduct, committee members, in collaboration with athletic department staff, updated the policy to include more specific language on violence and stalking, thereby strengthening it and showing commitment on behalf of the athletic department to protecting student safety.
More recently, the committee has been working with the Student Government Association to create and publicize a Victim's Bill of Rights. In addition to having campus policies related to gender-based & sexual violence, the committee wanted to create a document that was student friendly. To help spread the word about resources and services for victims of violence and their rights, the Women's Center and student leaders plan to conduct a public education campaign once the Victim's Bill of Rights is completed. An additional goal was to emphasize that the UVM community supports victims of gender-based and sexual violence.
The PCSC provides an opportunity for leaders across campus, from diverse organizations and departments, to work together on issues of sexual violence prevention and response. The commission also provides an opportunity for individuals working on overlapping topics, like sexual assault and alcohol use, to share knowledge and expertise in developing new policies and programs. By creating this commission, the President has shown his commitment to raising awareness about and decreasing sexual violence at UVM, and has opened up the dialogue around the issue, an important element of long-term social change. By creating an interdisciplinary team with administrators, faculty, staff, coaches, law enforcement personnel, healthcare providers, and students, organizational change across campus can happen more quickly and effectively.

Oh yeah.
Extra inning games and walk-offs tend to bother me, because I think a team should be able to win without 'em, but that win was really, really good. It felt like a giant, "Snap out of it!"
I mean, Aubrey's homer made him kindof/sortof/wecansayitdid snap out of it and we can only hope the same happens for Cody. And all the Schierholtz /Fontenot wonderfulness is the kind of thing that makes me wear my wacky grin everywhere for a few hours. But no, they haven't shut up about his height. It's okay. As long as he's good, I'll take it and I'm sure he will too.
Now I'm going to make a bold statement. You ready? Need a refill on the popcorn? Okay. Get it. Then hurry back so you can hear my bold statement. This is it:
People do better without beards.
Cody Ross is example given. I could go on and on about why psychologically, but physically? I don't think it's rocket science. I've never had a beard (duh factor there) but I imagine it would be kind of uncomfortable, not to mention take a lot of grooming time which takes away from conditioning time, not to mention puts undue stress on your wrists, hands and arms. Just when Timmy laid off the blowdryer and his hair started looking air-dried that directly correlated to his pitching better.
I know nobody else buys that theory but I dare a beat writer to actually ask him about that. Just like I dare someone to go take a piece of the moon and eat it and prove it's not blue cheese, albeit old cheese with no oxygen. I'm serious. Okay, I'm not serious about the blue cheese. But I'm serious about the facial hair/normal hair habits and how that impacts a player.
And… (::looks around, then whispers::) you look better without a beard too. Fact, Brian Wilson. Fact.
Worst case scenario? You end up like this oompa loompa.
So how about this year the Giants become the clean-shaven team? Fear the, um, razor?

"[Getronics is] the right size for us. Some of the larger IT services firms want you to standardise on their systems; we didn't want to do that. And smaller ones can lack the scale to meet our requirements."
Alistair Smith,
Store Systems Manager, Clarks
Sanoma Media
"We were looking for an external partner to coordinate the transition of our existing environment to the new world of work. The fact that getronics had implemented the new world of work in their own office was an important factor to us, as they possessed the expertise of planning, implementing and successfully migrating end-user workspaces."
Bart Stuer,
Operations Director and Program Owner, Ourspace
Malaysia Airlines
"The GWA provides integrated desktop management services for 9000 seats covering 56 countries and 160 locations."
"Our relationship with Getronics is very good, they are very committed in continuously improving the quality of services. I am confident that Getronics is able to even further improve customer satisfaction."

Rated 5 out of 5 by kjirsty simple, long-lasting
this is much better than fancier versions - works very simply, reliable, snaps not too easy for toddlers to undo, etc. I own about 10!

Rated 1 out of 5 by jundunn This needs Velcro, not snaps
I was so excited to get this and finally not have to worry about losing a toy or have a sippy cup not hit the floor. But the snaps are too limiting. You have to be very creative on how to attach it to the cup or toy to make it not slip out. This may work better with smaller objects like a pacifier, but I have a pacifier clip for that. I needed something for the bigger items and this required too much origami training for me. I found another strap that's adjustable and with velcro that works much better.

Rated 5 out of 5 by eboots21 I LOVE these! So handy for going out!
I was tired of my son dropping and or throwing his cup whenever we were out and about. These snap holders work WONDERFUL and can attach to high chairs, strollers, whatever you need to secure toys or cups to. I wish I would have purchased these sooner!

Rated 5 out of 5 by blackcurrants I use them for everything!
I bought one pack, thinking "hmm, this might be useful" - and now I've bought four more packs, and they do EVERYTHING! They tether toys to the stroller, favourite teethers to the jumperoo, they secure toys to restaurant high chairs so I'm not having to squirrel away floor-soiled things my baby wants to chew one even after dropping them... I even have two on the changing table, with some rattles tied on so he plays with them rather than trying to roll away from me, mid-change. They're sturdy, just the right length, and excellent value. You'll use them for everything!

Rated 5 out of 5 by marizakristine17 straps for toys/pacifiers
Great to keep small toys and pacifiers from being accidentally thrown on the ground.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Annismom Love them!!
Thou think that the straps are just one gadget you are encouraged to buy and that you would not need until you DO need it. I love it also with the Munchkin feeders that have a ring to hold on to. A fabulous combo in a restaurant where I strap the feeders to the high chair or a stroller. Would not use this for a pacifier because it is too long and too dangerous to use if not strictly supervised.

Rated 4 out of 5 by momof1boy A snap to use
I bought these ties to secure my son's toys to his stroller and high chair and so far so good. I love that I can wash them (quick hand wash in the sink). Just ordered a second pack.
March 10, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by MommyP No more dirty toys on the floor
This is great to secure a toy to the car seat or stroller so the baby can reach for it. I think it's a potential strangulation hazard though so watch your baby while it's in use.

I so wish all of Jason Aldean's weekend tweets could just be about the music. But after a man was shot after Aldean's concert in Raleigh, N.C., on Friday (July 27), the singer had to say something.
"There's no excuse 4 things getting that heated in traffic leavin a show. I'm prayin 4 the fan who was injured and thanx to the Raleigh police for acting so quickly," he wrote.
And of course, he's right. He probably could've stayed on Twitter all night lecturing his fans about right and wrong, and maybe they would listen, and maybe it would help. (And by the way, who brings a gun to a concert? And if the venue is so hell-bent on searching fans for alcohol and drugs on their way in, wouldn't they have noticed a gun?)
The shooting took place after the concert outside the Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion as fans were walking to their cars. The victim was taken to a local hospital by ambulance, but his injuries were not life-threatening. Still, just like Aldean, I'm praying for him.

Some like it hot. And some like it really hot. Superhot varieties of peppers are gaining in popularity and making a space for themselves in the hot pepper market along with their popular pepper cousins, the jalapeño, serrano and habañero.
Spicy peppers run the gamut from relatively mellow to tear-inducing, and with more than 400 varieties worldwide there are many to choose from.
According to The Packer's Fresh Trends 2012 data, 27% of customers bought specialty peppers within the past 12 months.
Superhot varieties — such as the scorpions — are the name of the game for Marlin Bensinger, member of The Chile Pepper Institute at New Mexico State University and farming and technical director and owner at Chromtec LLC, Las Cruces, N.M. Bensinger, who's been in the hot pepper business for 45 years, said he grows six or seven Trinidad varieties and 10-11 other varieties.
He grows the Trinidad moruga scorpion, which as of this February, was listed as the world's hottest chili pepper at more than 2 million Scoville heat units.
"We're finding the desire for peppers that are super hot is going up each year," Bensinger said. "We sold everything we could produce last year."
His growing partner, Dave DeWitt, also a member of The Chile Pepper Institute and president of Sunbelt Shows Inc., which produces the National Fiery Foods and Bebecue Show in Albuquerque, N.M., agreed.
"This past year was a breakthrough year for fresh-market superhot chilies, namely those chilies that measure between 500,000 and 1.2 million Scoville heat units. We had a 1.2-acre field in Las Cruces (N.M.) growing Trinidad scorpions and its subvarieties, plus Scotch bonnets, and we sold every pod harvested," DeWitt said. "We were getting $16 to $18 a pound for the hottest ones, and all I had to do to sell them was send out e-mails to my (customers)."
As a year-round hot pepper shipper, Gilroy, Calif.-based Uesugi Farms Inc. grows 15 or more varieties of chilies.
"The demand for hot peppers grows every year, in all parts of the country," salesman Damon Barkdull said. "Some varieties are retail-driven, like the red fresno or pasilla, and some varieties are processor-driven, like the bnana sax pepper or sweet jalapeño."
Uesugi Farms also grows the superhot bhut jolokia chili pepper — also known as the ghost pepper — which not long ago held the title of world's hottest pepper. It claims to be 400% hotter than Tabasco sauce.

"This was our second stay at Limefitt but our first in Troutbeck View. The lodge is a real home from home with everything we needed and very spacious. We haven't had great weather but still braved the rain and went on some good walks. We can recommend the Queens Head for food. We also ate at the Haybarn which was basic but still good and handy as only a short walk or "stumble" away. We are already talking about next year and can't wait to come back thank you." December 2011
"We have had a lovely time staying in the lodge. Thank you! I think the lodge has everything you could need for a great holiday. It really is a home from home! Unfortunately the weather hasn't been quite as nice but we plan to come back again next year to try again! Thank you." December 2011
" Steve, Paul and Oscar too,
came again to Troutbeck View.
It rained this time, what a shame,
but never mind, didn't spoil our game!
Field, pool, walkies, food,
put Oscar in a real good mood.
Wine, dine, relax and chill,
Steve and Paula had their fill.
Trip to Brock Hole, play in the lake,
cup of tea and piece of cake.
Ullswater next, Kirkstone pass,
superb lunch, we had a blast!
"Home from home", the guests all say,
we agree, and if we may
Thanks John and Linda, without whom
we never would have "shot the moon"
We'll be back, I'm sure of that,
so keep brushed off the welcome mat.
Places to go and people to see
more fun for Oscar Steve and me! :-)"
November 2011
"What a wonderful treat to stay in such a beautiful lodge and area. had the most fantastic time. We will tell everyone. Hope to see you soon." November 2011
"Our second stay in the lodge and another fantastic break – thank you. We loved the walks, the dog friendly pubs and had two lovely meals at the Queens Head. The lodge was warm and cosy to come back to after our daily tracks! I have no doubt will be back in 2012" October 2011
"This was our first visit to the Lake District and we have had a fabulous weekend – especially as the weather has been beautiful! The lodge was just perfect – very comfortable and extremely well-equipped. The beds were also very comfortable. We love the decor and all the fixtures and fittings – all to a very high standard! We have had lots of beautiful walks and also lovely boat trips on Lake Windermere. We also love the local pub – The Mortal Man and have had two excellent meals there and enjoyed sampling the local beers and cheese. Thank you for the lovely accommodation. We all hope to come here again next year :-)" October 2011
"We had a lovely week despite so much rain! A very well-equipped lodge with everything we needed and as everyone else has said the Haybarn does good basic food. We had a excellent meal in the Mortal Man. We managed to walk to Ing Bridge, Orrest Head and Wansell Pike all from the Lodge introducing a 10-month-old Labrador to fell walking for the first time! Line fit is a lovely peaceful location with easy access to the Southern Lakes. I am sure we will return in the future as we visit the lakes at least once a year" October 2011
"What a fantastic lodge – first-class accommodation with everything you need. Customer service from John Hobson excellent. There was a problem with original logbook and we were given Troutbeck view. Can't thank him enough. What a beautiful part of the country plenty of places to visit/walks to go on – our dog loved it just like us. We will certainly be back in the future." September 2011
"Second time for those here in Limefitt but first in your magnificent lodge. We found all we could possibly need, cot and highchair were greatly appreciated by our baby girl, beds are really very comfy! We had great walks in the mountains surrounding the lodge. Hope we'll be back soon!" September 2011
"Another great week – lots of different weather – hurricane, rain and lovely sunshine! Did new walks each day despite the weather. As usual, lodge fantastic – just like being at home. This is our third year here and going home to book for next year. We will have a dog next year which should be different and fun!" September 2011
"Weather could have been much better. Rain, rain and more rain but if you love The Lakes you look past the rain. We took a trip to Ullswater/Aira Force what a great afternoon out. Magnificent waterfalls. This is our third visit to Limefitt and it will not be the last I'm sure. Troutbeck View is a great home from home cabin. Had a lovely stress free rest. Enjoyed by us all" September 2011
"Our whole family had a great time!!! The lodge was fantastic with everything in it we could have wished for. We are sad to be going home, but we will be back next year or even sooner!!! Many thanks." September 2011
"Have so enjoyed staying here in Troutbeck View - home from home! Look forward to coming next back next year. So very comfortable!" August 2011
"The lodge is really cool, the beds are super comfy but it gets really hot in the night, the PlayStation could do with another controller. [done J&L] The River Pool is really cold but fun. South Lakes animal Park busy but worth it. Sometimes wish the lodge was my house" - August 2011
"Riverpool is really fun but really cold! The park is also good especially the zip wire. The lodge is really nice. The PlayStation is good as well but could do with another controller (see above J&L). Beds are really comfy. South Lakes Animal Park is a good place to go and Keswick is a good place to go on the water bus. Really fun! We will be back soon" August 2011
"Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful lodge. We think it's the nicest lodge in Limefitt! It has been a fantastic first holiday for our wee family and has been ideal for our 22-month-old daughter who has been able to roam around on the decking. Others have mentioned in this book that it is "home from home" and how true that is. The lodge has everything we could possibly need. Windermere is beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed Bowness on Windermere – Abby loved the swans and ducks! Seafarers fish and chip shop was yummy! Beatrix Potter Attraction and Grasmere gingerbread shop is a must. South Lakes Wild Animal Park is also worth a visit. Got to feed and pet the giraffes! We will definitely be back and hopefully stay longer next time." July 2011
"Lovely cabin – well-equipped. Super position. " July 2011
"A wonderful new experience. Lovely, clean and well equipped cabin. Plenty relaxation and peace. Hope to see you soon." July 2011
"Had a lovely time during our first visit to the Lake District. Lovely, homely lodge with everything we needed. Our dogs had a ball! The balcony outside was a godsend! Home-made chicken and ham pie at the Haybarn was delicious! (+ Sky TV)! The Grasmere gingerbread shop is a must! William Wordsworth's grave next to shop. Delightful country village. We are all going home fitter after enjoying the country and wonderful walks taking in the scenery that was truly breathtaking! Hope whoever is reading this will enjoy their stay as much as we have." July 2011
"We have had brill stay in the lovely log cabin. By far the best we have stayed in. Visited some lovely places. Cannot wait to return sometime soon." July 2011
"What a fantastic place, could quite happily move in permanently. Built a dam in the river near the play area. Hope to come back soon finish it! Very dog and child friendly and can recommend the scampi and chips up out of the Haybarn!" July 2011
"Had a lovely stay. Lodge is great. Everything we needed was there. Had a great meal at the Haybarn. Site is perfect. The weather could have been better but that's the English weather. We would definitely like to come back. Thank you." July 2011
"Had an amazing weekend and could not have asked for nicer accommodation. Your lodge is beautiful and so comfortable. Just wish we could stay longer! The weather has been perfect. Really hot all weekend and we've done loads in the short time here. Lake cruise, steam train, aquarium and the kids have loved playing in the park and the dogs have had a great time in the countryside too! I will be highly recommending your lodge and the park to all friends and family and will definitely be back again." July 2011
"What a lovely lodge you have and oh so comfy beds. Great views and everything you want in the lodge. Had a lovely steak meal at the Haybarn. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your lodge." July 2011
"We had a very enjoyable week in your super new lodge, had some great walks everyday, thank you for arranging the heavy rain to fall at night and not during the day! Sure we shall return again." June 2011
"Had a lovely visit to the Lakes. The lodge is very spacious and beautifully decorated. The beds are a great size and so comfortable. We had some lovely days out in Bowness and would recommend Shepherd's boat hire - it was a great way to explore the lake and admire the views. The on-site adventure playground is fab and we couldn't keep our 2-year-old away – she loved it! This is our third visit to Limefitt in one of your wonderful lodges and it won't be the last." June 2011
"Another fantastic week in the Lakes! Loved staying in a bigger lodge this time and as usual everything we needed was here! Brought our friends with us this time and it was great to share our days out and walks with them. Walked about 50 miles and visited all our fave places. Great food at Mortal Man and Queens Head! Looking forward to coming back in September." June 2011
" Our first time in the Lake District. Lodge and walks far exceeded our expectations. Company excellent (Hope we get invited again!)." June 2011
"Perfect location and perfect accommodation! It's so nice to find such a beautiful and modern lodge that welcomes children and dogs. We recommend a visit to Brockhole visitor centre which is 5 minutes away. It has beautiful views of Windermere, a big outdoor play area and woodland walks. Oh and it's free and dogs welcome! Hawkshead is also worth a visit but watch out for coaches on the thin roads. We got stuck in traffic while one tried to squeeze up past cars. We ate local produce and ales every day either in the lodge or in pubs/cafes and can honestly say it's some of the best we've tried. We definitely will be back soon." May 2011
"What a wonderful lodge this is our second year here at line fit. Our previous state was in to lodge. Cannot thank John and Linda enough for making our stay that extra bit special. We will be back next year." May 2011
"Came to join parents for long weekend. Have been booking your lodges for the past 4 years for them and had to see what my parents rave about so much. Lodge is fantastic, airy, plenty of light, well situated, spacious and a home from home. Lodge was clean and well equipped. Will be booking for next year in this logic for another week." May 2011
"As our daughter has said this is the fourth continuous visit to your lodges. Again this is very clean and tidy. This lodge is very spacious" May 2011
"We had a fantastic time staying in Troutbeck View. It was really comfortable with all the equipment we needed. The decking area was good as our nine-month golden retriever couldn't get out. We did lots of walks and enjoyed the Haybarn and the Queen's Head. We will definitely be coming back." May 2011
"We have had a lovely stay in Troutbeck View. Your lodge felt home from home, it was so comfortable and very well equipped. The decking area was great for the kids who could safely wander in and out to play. The setting of the lodge was great and the views fantastic. We will definitely come back! Thank you very much." April 2011
"We had a fantastic stay in your beautiful lodge. The views are stunning. The weather has been great – one day of rain and the rest of the time brilliant sunshine - yay! we will definitely be coming back." April 2011
"I loved the park down the path. Harvey loved the dog park. I definitely recommend the mortal man, the food is breathtaking. The views were great I took lots of photos. We had really nice cake in Sheila's Cottage in Ambleside." April 2011
"Thank you once again for the use of your very comfortable lodge. We have had such brilliant weather which was great for doing some of our favourite walks, and after a long day walking, the Haybarn was a welcome end to the day with a cooling drink and some lovely food! The lodge is like "home from home" and we wish we could stay longer as it is so comfortable and great to see the view of the fells each morning. We hope to be back very soon." March 2011
"We have had such a relaxing weekend, eating drinking, walking, sleeping. The lodge is wonderful. It has everything you need and the views are fantastic. We saw deer on our early morning dog walks and spent some time watching them have breakfast while we worked up an appetite for ours! We WILL be back - just need to check your availability with ours once we get home" March 2011
" Steve, Paul and Oscar too,

Great Hydration - 12/27/2014 6:31:08 AM I started using some new products with alpha and beta hydroxy acids to help with exfoliation and skin cell turnover. Normally, I don't have any problems with such products, even though I have sensitive skin. However, I had some serious rough patchy areas of flaking skin especially around my mouth and on my nose. When I tried to gently exfoliate, it only made it worse to the point where my skin was practically raw. No moisturizers were working, not even good old Vaseline. I bought this product and within 3 days there was a huge improvement. Within a week, the areas were completely cleared up. It also kept my skin from being painful in the more raw spots. And while using this, I could use my usual products without difficulty. I now use this in my daily routine and it helps to keep my skin hydrated all day. As for the new products? I'm going to ease into those this time. But having this as my go to product gives me peace of mind that I have a solution if needed. I highly recommend - even if only for daily hydration.Great product - 9/9/2014 9:43:35 PM I love all the H2O products. They always deliver what they say they will. If their price was slightly lower, I think more people could afford their product. Just wish it had an SPF factor to it and then it would be perfect.Left my skin feeling soft - 8/22/2014 6:52:23 PM I have sensitive, dry skin and have used many of the various highly recommended cleansers from the top brands. I tend to find that the majority of them leave my skin feeling dry and tight and I can hardly wait to get a moisturizer on. I tried this one as a sample and loved it! It leaves my skin feeling soft, moisturized and supple. Buying the full size now and I think the price, as compared to others, is reasonable for the results.Marked Improvement - 7/22/2014 8:40:38 AM Because of age and frequent hand washing, my hands and cuticules were very dry. Using the product during the day after hand washing and at bedtime, has dramatically improved the appearance and feel of my hands.... repair101. - 6/10/2014 10:28:20 AM ... i swim every day. i have never had any product repair my skin so quickly, evenly, and reasonably priced. i can not say enough about this product, but i am 41 years old and people card me to see that. i look about 25. ~kimberlee- 3/16/2014 5:44:32 PM Have used this lotion for years, and will continue to. It is good to my skin, even my boyfriend compliments me on how soft my skin is, and in turn has bought more "Milk" for me :DWonderful foot cream! - 3/5/2014 3:41:01 AM I have tried dozens of foot creams for my cracking dry heels, and non of them come close to this one. I put it on right my nightly shower and wear socks to sleep in. I have had no deep cracks this winter!Up to the promise - 11/24/2013 3:19:12 AM I have a super sensitive skin, so handin over my skin to skin products is kinda ........"shud I?". But this h2o surely did the gud wrk........hello skin shine!Love it - 10/12/2013 4:59:14 PM I love this eye gel.

Posting your opinions online? Think again…
Remember that adage, "Don't mix business and politics?" Facebook profiles encourage users to do just that by asking them to identify their employer, political affiliation and political views, and publicly chronicle their work and personal life in ways employers never previously anticipated. Microblogs, such as Twitter, invite people to publicly post opinions on a variety of subjects, and, by their very nature, blogs invite debate from others in the virtual world.
Internet posts can be informal and carelessly written. The contrast between the high level of care employees give to paper correspondence, which can be destroyed, and the lack of thought often given to virtual posts, which can endure online forever, is astounding. The problem for employers is some employee posts can undermine an employer's public image or damage its business strategy. An employee may also post opinions to political blogs, newsgroups or news articles without any disclaimer that the views and opinions expressed are the employee's alone and don't represent the employer's official views.
Many employers actively police blogs and social networking sites or simply wait for co-workers to report controversial postings. For example, CNN fired an editor who tweeted that she had 'respect' for the deceased Sayyed Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah, connected to several bombings in which hundreds of Americans were killed. ESPN fired part-time contributor Paul Shirley after he posted controversial comments about Haiti's earthquake on his blog. Regardless of how they learn of the posts, more and more employers discharge employees because of them.
However, employers should check their state's off-duty conduct laws before firing employees based on their social media posts. Illinois doesn't have a statute that outright prohibits employers from attempting to influence political opinions, but it has enacted off-duty conduct laws to provide some protection to employees. For example, according to the Personnel Record Review Act, the state prohibits employers from "gather[ing] or keep[ing] a record of an employee's associations, political activities, publications, communications or non-employment activities, unless the employee submits the information in writing or authorizes the employer to keep or gather the information." What is Facebook if not a 'record' of all these things?
An employer's social media policy should set clear guidelines, especially if the employer doesn't want an employee to endorse political candidates/ideas in the name of the company. The policy should also inform employees whether use of social media is allowed during work hours and whether they can use company computers to access Facebook or Twitter. If it is permitted, employees implicitly agree to allow their employer to monitor their private email and posts. And, if employees don't want to subject themselves to such monitoring, they need to use their own equipment to access social media at work.
Employers shouldn't discharge or discipline employees simply because they disagree with their off-duty conduct, especially when it involves political activities and associations. An employee's off-duty conduct must truly implicate work issues before an employer contemplates taking adverse action. For example, drunken tweets about company clients during non-working hours are likely not protected conduct. But because there are few cases construing these statutes in the social media era, employees must be savvy and avoid off-duty conduct that may cause trouble at work. Employers should, likewise, exercise restraint.

D7000 Advice: General, All-purpose lens for underwater?
Posted 24 February 2012 - 07:51 AM
So, heres the deal. I just ordered my Nikon D7000, body only. I'm pretty new to photography in general. The plan is to take this baby diving in a Sea & Sea housing. Im looking for a good 'walk around' lens thats good to learn with, topside, but that I can still play with underwater. I've been looking at many many options and I'm making myself nuts looking at review after review from people who have no clue about underwater photography.
I've got access to a bunch of great lenses to take underwater, but am finding it hare to use them topside: 10.5 mm fisheye, 16mm fisheye, 60mm macro, and 12-24 wide angle zoom. Im lucky that I'll get to use these, but i find 12-24 to be unwieldy on the surface.
I know that the best way to learn is practice, but i find the above lenses to be a bit discouraging for a beginner. The lenses that I've been looking at are Nikon AF-S DX 18-55 f/3.5-5.6G VR and the Nikon AF-S DX 18-70 f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED or the 18-105mm d7000 kit lens. I'm def limited by price, so I'm trying to keep it below $300.00 and I don't know how to find out what works best in Sea & Sea housings.
Does anyone out there have experience with D7000 underwater, that can offer me some insights on a pretty versatile starter lens?
Any/all advice is appreciated.

Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC Macro HSM!
Posted 24 February 2012 - 09:30 AM
Looking over all the photos I've taken underwater over the years, *none* of my favorites were shot with the Sigma 17-70mm. It's a do-all lens that does-nothing-well underwater in my opinion. However, I do use this lens above water and have gotten some nice shots with it. I think the "catch all" lens for underwater use a canard and you will just end up replacing the Sigma with other options in a year or so. The best catch all setup is really the Tokina 10-17 and the Nikon 60mm. Other lenses give more options, but this setup is the cheapest with the most bang for the buck.
If it were me, I would start out with the 60mm macro. Get the older one because then it will work with the excellent Kenko 1.4 teleconverter giving you a fish / portrait lens, a macro lens and a super-macro lens the only requirement being you buy the port extension and the teleconverter. This also will allow you to start out with one strobe and keep costs down. Macro and fish portraits are easier than wide angle underwater and you will get more immediate gratification from this setup. Plus, the 60mm is an awesome, sharp lens which I use for portraits quite often since it's a 90mm FX equivalent.
The lenses you have mentioned in your post are good options "above water" (Nikon AF-S DX 18-55 f/3.5-5.6G VR, Nikon AF-S DX 18-70 f/3.5-4.5G), they are mediocre at best underwater. The 18-105 would not be good to use underwater at all -- too much zoom there.
take care,

That said, I'm diving today with the Nikon AF-S DX 18-55 f/3.5-5.6G VR on the D7000 because I'm going to a site where there will be a mix of small and large subjects. I have a +5 diopter on the 18-55mm and while I can't get the same magnification I can out of the 60mm, I can still get around 1:2.5 in a 6" dome port.
I should add that the 18-55mm is a really cheap lens so if you already have a suitable dome port for it, it is worth a try. I bought mine new for $139 and I already had the dome port.

Seems you already have access to enough u/w with fisheye and 60mm macro.
Also agree with the others statement, no lens really does a good job of both above and underwater.
We would all like a lens that does it all... and at a good price. But, we all want to be better looking and better paid as well. Each is about as likely as the other

Overall, I like the idea of getting a good topside lens. The 18-200 was a bit rich in the price. Do you all have any input on the Tamron 18-200 to offer?
Im going to give you some advice you didnt ask for. Dont try to find a lens that is a good walk around lens AND is very useful underwater. You have some good underwater lenses, so just get a good topside lens. A general purpose walk around lens that I own and that seems to get some decent reviews is the AF-S DX VR Zoom-NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G.
Cor, I like your advice. It makes sense. It's just hard to rationalize having a topside set and an underwater set. The Sigma 18-70 sure looks nice, but again, its a bit expensive. How do i know if it would work in a Sea & Sea housing? Is it brand/lens specific?
Essentially this this is going to be my first season w/ a Dslr, so I'm focused on just getting out there shooting. I don't have a housing yet. I might get one soon, but even so, I'll be learning the absolute basics of underwater photography. This entire season is about learning for me, so having the sharpest, most optically perfect shots are not the absolute priority for me. (is that wrong??).
I think i need to just get what i can afford to start with, and if it CAN go underwater, than cool. If not, then I'd still be out practicing topside.
Again, I'm a total beginner.
Posted 24 February 2012 - 08:46 PM
The problem with a general purpose lens under water is you will end up with 'general purpose snap shots' and no good keepers.
Learn to 'pre-visual '; in other words imagine how you would like to see a subject 's image printed and then set up and shoot to get that image.
Learn to bracket - take 15 - 20 shots of the same subject, varying the exposure and camera angle. And then analyze the good and bad. What are your most common mistakes? Keep notes and list you're 5 most common errors.
I some times still take a list down with me. At first, I was too far away - I did not fill the frame. Then, after several years, I got too close and did not leave enough space for a good crop. Maybe in the next ten years, I'll get it right!
Lastly remember that very few lens for underwater will use the same port/dome/spacer ring combination.
Changing lens U/W can get very expensive.

I think the Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC Macro HSM is the closest all-purpose-lens that you can find , but maybe will not be wide enough for some panoramas' kind of photos of for big animals like whales .
I have it and i found it works great . But i use the Tokina 10-17mm or the Nikon 60mm most of the time.

For topside, I'm liking the Sigma 17-70 idea. I don't know the difference from HSM to non HMS and OS.. i just don't follow. I've been looking at the Nikkor AF-S DX 18-70 f/3.5-4.5G Any ideas on this one?
AND, If anyones selling their beloved Sigma 17-70, shoot me a message.
Posted 25 February 2012 - 10:34 PM
I'm not sure why you find the 12-24 unwieldy on the surface. As I love this lens for panoramas, and the 18-200 VR is my topside walk-around lens. I know you said it's a bit much, but if you can hold off on a topside lens for a while it would probably be well worth it.

I've already got a 60mm that I use a bit topside now. I like it but I don't love it. I think for underwater, it will be a great starting point. Thats what I will do.

All sigmas 17-70 are optically the same. The HSM means it has its own motor which means faster focusing (the lens body is also wider and some housings have trouble housing it), and the OS is Sigma´s VR version...

I think everyone pretty much already covered it, in that you already have access to some of the best lenses for underwater on the Nikon side.
I'm not sure why you find the 12-24 unwieldy on the surface. As I love this lens for panoramas, and the 18-200 VR is my topside walk-around lens. I know you said it's a bit much, but if you can hold off on a topside lens for a while it would probably be well worth it.
I'm just starting out, so that wide angle is just hard for me. If I'm shooting people, or things, I need to get right on top of it to get the shot. Which, of course, is why its useful at depth. I get that closer is better, but topside i feel like everything i want to photograph is really tiny in the viewfinder.
Davichin, thanks a ton for clearing that up! I like 17-70. I'm also pretty sure i don't mind the Nikkor 18-70, as its inexpensive, and could be housed.All sigmas 17-70 are optically the same. The HSM means it has its own motor which means faster focusing (the lens body is also wider and some housings have trouble housing it), and the OS is Sigma´s VR version...
You have all been really helpful. Thanks a TON
Posted 26 February 2012 - 04:04 PM
If you're considering the Nikkor 18-70mm, then you should definitely consider the Nikkor 18-55mm as it can do better magnification.I'm also pretty sure i don't mind the Nikkor 18-70, as its inexpensive, and could be housed.

See Disclaimer regarding information on this site. Some links on this page may take you to organizations outside of the National Institutes of Health.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited condition that causes mucus to build up and clog some of the organs in the body, particularly in the lungs and pancreas. When mucus clogs the lungs, it can make breathing very difficult. The thick mucus also causes bacteria to get stuck in the airways, which causes inflammation and infections. These infections can cause chronic coughing, and wheezing. Over time, mucus buildup and infections can lead to permanent lung damage, including the formation of scar tissue (fibrosis) and cysts in the lungs. Mucus can also block the digestive tract and pancreas, leading to digestive problems. CF is caused by mutations in the

The Milwaukee Brewers didn't make any deadline trades and re-signed Corey Hart and that's okay with me
milwaukee brewers August 2nd, 2010
I have been prepared for the Milwaukee Brewers to trade Prince Fielder and Corey Hart for a solid two months now. Heck, I've already written a goodbye to Corey Hart. While trading our two most valuable assets may have seemed like a great idea on paper (we could get Wade Davis, Matt Cain, Gordon Beckham and Daniel Hudson!) I can't help but to agree with the non-move the front office made. As Disciples of Uecker noted the players teams got in return for their players were terribly unfavorable. It was a buyer's market as evidenced by my favorite summation of a deadline trade by KenTremendous:
So, Yankees get Berkman, Astros pay his salary and get nothing in return. That seems like a good deal for Houston. Well done.
"We want Montero for Berkman." "How about we give you nothing and you give us four million dollars and Berkman." "Even better!"
Teams simply weren't trading their pitching prospects, at least the ones we wanted, and if they weren't going to do that there was no point in trading anyone. Nobody got desperate, so nobody got traded. It's as simple as that. Prince and Corey stay. We like those dudes so we're happy. (We're also happy because we kind of called it.)
Then, in the most surprising news of the year, the Brewers signed Corey Hart to a three year contract extension. It's shocking to see his transition from "mostly pointless" to total elation, but there it is. Honestly, I don't even know what to say. Read the rest of this entry »
