Dance Review: 'A Knight of the British Ballet'
Date: February 29, 2012
by: Anna Dearing | Contributing writer
Sarasota Ballet's February performances featured the choreography of Sir Frederick Ashton, director of the Royal Ballet and one of Britain's most famed choreographers. The show included three different pieces of the choreographer: the classical "Valses Nobles et Sentimentales," contemporary "Monotones 1 & 2" and the delightful comedy ballet, "Façade." The three pieces displayed Ashton's vast range of choreographic abilities and the dancing abilities of the Sarasota Ballet company, as well.
The evening began with a heartfelt video of Director Iain Webb reflecting on his memories of Ashton and Ashton's influence on him as a dancer. Webb eloquently relayed how special this performance was to him and his wife, Margaret Barbieri. It was a nice, genuine touch.
"Valses Nobles et Sentimentales" was a beautiful, elegant ballet set to an interesting score by Maurice Ravel. Four couples led by a principal couple swooped onto a transparent, maroon screen-lined stage with the men twirling their ballet-pink, full-skirted partners in circling waltzes.
Principal Danielle Rae Brown danced the lead role with a pleasant look of ease and happiness, which was delightful to watch. When performing difficult tours de promenades en pointe in à la seconde that rotated to arabesque penchée, while supported by hand by Ricardo Graziano and Jamie Carter, Brown stayed in complete control.
Ashton's "Monotones 1 & 2" set to music by Erik Satie, took the audience on a 180-degree spin to contemporary choreography from the late 1960s. Both "Monotones 1 & 2" had a cast of three dancers, but inverted: 1 featured two girls and one man; 2 featured two men and one girl. Each piece costumed the dancers in sleek unitards and matching helmet-type headpieces.
"Monotones 1" was a lyrical piece that featured slow adagio movements and the elongated extensions and lines of Ryoko Sadoshima and Rita Duclos with their male counterpart, Alex Harrison. Emily Dixon, who replaced Victoria Hulland due to an injury in "Monotones 2," enthralled the audience with incredible tours de promenades en pointe in which her body was completely bent in half with her leg in développé devant touching her nose and the opposite in arabesque penchée. Both Dixon's partners, Ricardo Graziano and Ricardo Rhodes, demonstrated great masculinity in their supporting roles.
Ashton's "Façade" was the perfect end to the production, creating merriment for both the cast of dancers and the audience. Nicole Padilla, Caitlin Kirschenbaun and Simon Mummé were sprightly while performing petite allegro in Scotch Rhapsody. Kate Honea garnered guffaws from the audience while "milking" a pretend cow and performing promenades en pointe atop a tiny stool as the Milkmaid. Sara Sardelli, who also replaced Hulland, was simply sweet in the polka. Brown and Octavio Martin were over-the-top drama in the Tango-Pasodoble. But the real standouts in this year's performance of "Façade" undoubtedly were Miguel Piquer and Ricki Bertoni in Popular Song. Dancing almost as Siamese twins, the two entwined their steps and jumps with deadpan humility.

I am trying to prepare this set to be used for my daughter. There is a thin top layer of amber shellac which sands off very easily, and then under that the finish looks dull. When I sand, the dust is all light yellow, I am not sanding any wood away. It seems that under this dull haze is a layer that is more glowing, the layers can be seen in these pictures. Towards the top is the shellac shiny layer, to the left is the dull layer, and to the right is the glowing layer. Is the dull haze a thick layer of wax?? Initially I thought it was original finish, now I'm not sure. Is sanding the right thing to do? Thanks all! |

I dunno. Try the woodworking forum. They're a helpful bunch for refinishing stuff. It's going to be so nice! |
Here is a link that might be useful: http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/wood/
I don't think shellac would have stuck successfully to wax. I prefer to strip rather than sand and if the finish is truly shellac, alcohol will remove it. |
- Posted by detroit_burb (My Page) on Fri, Nov 30, 12 at 22:33
Thanks. Alcohol dissolved it, and I wiped and wiped but still got more amber goo on the wipes. The sanding block moved the top layer faster, but below it seems to be something else. I have not gotten down to wood. This headboard is the third piece I am working on, on the other pieces, the delineation of layers was not as evident, and now I'm wondering how deep to dig. I did not want to strip because the wood is blonded and I may affect that color that was applied below the finish maybe? I am also worried about the smell inside the house. What stripping process would you recommend? |
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Sat, Dec 1, 12 at 8:04
The trick to removing shellac and old polish and wax build-up all at once is to use a 50/50 mix of laquer thinner and denatured alcohol. Apply it with medium coarseness steel wool, let it sit a minute or two to soften the layers and gently scrub it loose with the steel wool. It will turn into a brownish sludge. Then wipe off the sludge with a rag, dip the steel wool into the mix and do the next area. When you think you have it all, do it one more time over the whole surface with fine steel wool, and then wipe with a rag moistened in the stripping mix just to make sure. That mix is flammable and stinky - do this outside away from flames. It also dries out your skin, so gloves are nice. It will not darken the wood, it just removes waxes, old polish and shellac and old-style varnishes. Here's an example of what it can do - that blackened alligator look is decades of wax and polish build-up over whatever the old finish was. |
This ia NOT a suggestion for any piece that might be even REMOTELY valuable or has veneer. For a while I was into painted furniture and pretty much all of my "raw materials" came from yard sales... dusty, dirty old chairs, mostly. First ones I ever did were 2 neat old (solid wood) chairs with big carved roses on the backs. The fabric on the seats was gross... easily remedied. After seats were removed, got lazy... tried one of those foaming spray cleaners and surface just went a gray, sticky mess... years of hands, polish?? Since I only paid $5 for the pair, was lazy, and didn't have much to lose... pulled out a can of dollar store spray OVEN cleaner. YEARS of crud, wax, shellac/varnish just ROLLED off. I did this OUTSIDE (obviously) and just hosed them off and let them dry. Ended up with pretty much totally stripped, bare wood to start painting on. AGAIN... DO NOT try this on anything you KNOW or THINK might be the least bit valuable. |

Only here, can the "re-selling" of the same crappy DVR over and over and over be justified.
DIRECTV is not reselling, they are replacing leased equipment with leased equipment.
Cable companies have been doing this for nearly 30 years. Before you were allowed to buy your own equipment. (Which was an FCC regulation, by the way.)

Newly Diagnosed People With Diabetes See a $4,200 Increase in Their Annual Medical Expenses
People who have been newly diagnosed with diabetes will spend substantially more in the first year on medical costs than their non-diabetic counterparts-an average of $4,174 for a 50-year-old-according to RTI International, a non-profit research institute in North Carolina.
Each year thereafter, that figure will increase by an average of $158. Researchers said that both figures do not include costs associated with normal aging, but do reflect costs associated with treating heart and kidney disease, which are common risk factors in diabetes.
The RTI study said that because diabetes is a progressive disease, it becomes more expensive to treat as patients must contend with more complications.
To slow down the rise in medical costs, the institute's researchers say that the classic advice of managing diabetes through diet and exercise still applies. By keeping blood sugar levels low, patients' bodies suffer less from inflammation that can later lead to life-threatening kidney or cardiovascular damage.

Last spring I started several 'Arizona Sun' blanket flowers from seed. They grew slowly at first, but took off by midsummer, blooming prolifically until late December. Not expecting them to get so big (3'hx4'w!), I hadn't staked them, but they appeared quite content to simply flop over drape themselves beautifully down a small bank. Despite constant deadheading, most of them began to look scraggly and began to yellow in late January so I decided to cut them back. Now they're just sitting there, rather poor looking, with flimsy yellow stems, almost no leaves, and not one sign of new growth. (Other blanket flowers that were planted at the same time are still green and blooming, while other that sprouted from dropped seed are growing vigorously.)

Laying down shouldn't have bothered them very much, though that may be a symptom of too little sun. I would have waited to cut them back until new growth showed at the base, but in your climate that shouldn't have been a problem either. Buut...since you cut them back, why do they have any stems showing anyway? Normally, when you cut back a Gaillardia, you cut it to the ground. I would also look for differences: is it on a slope while the others are on the flat? Does it get less food than the others? Does it get less or more water than the others? Is the soil different? Does it get less sun than the others? All these factors can affect the growth and health of it. One other thing to consider is if the label was correct. 3-4 ft. is mighty big for this variety, but about right for varieties of G. pulchella with similar blooms. That species may survive your winters, but, next spring,it will still look like it wished it could die! Kevin : ) |
Either they weren't labeled correctly or didn't get enough light. "Arizona Sun" is known to be a compact version of Gaillardia, less than 12". They may have exhausted themselves, they usually aren't an extremely long bloomer. And you do usually cut them back after you see new growth. Perhaps you got a bad batch of plants? Sorry I can't offer better advice. Better luck this year! |

A former St. Joseph High School student convicted of four felony counts of unlawful sex with a minor will have to pay more than $36,000 in restitution.
19-year-old Shane Villalpando was sentenced to one year in county jail and five years of probation last month.
A Santa Barbara County Superior Court judge ruled Thursday that Villalpando pay $36,821 dollars in restitution.
A majority of that money will go to one of the victim's family.
It will cover the costs of moving her out of the area, lost wages and additional counseling expenses.
Villalpando is required to register as a sex offender for the duration of his probation

The City of Bremerton, a city of the first class, may properly transfer the surplus funds of its water department to the city's general fund.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
September 28, 1950
Honorable Jack H. RodgersSenator, Twenty-third District1907 ‑ 5th StreetBremerton, Washington Cite as: AGO 49-51 No. 339
Dear Sir:
You have orally requested our opinion on the following question:
May the City of Bremerton, a city of the first class, whose water department has surplus funds derived from profits, properly transfer such surplus to the city's general fund?
From the oral statement of facts given us, we understand that the funds involved constitute a surplus of profits derived from the operation of the water department; that the matured obligations of the department have been provided for; and that such funds are not necessary for the maintenance and expenses of the system.
Our conclusion is as follows:
Surplus profits of the water department of the City of Bremerton, a city of the first class, may be transferred to the city's general fund.
We find no statutory provision controlling the disposition of surplus funds of the water department of a city of the first class. In the absence of statutory provision prohibiting such action there appears to be no valid objection to the transfer of such surplus to the city's general fund upon authorization by the city council.
[[Orig. Op. Page 2]]
In the case ofTwitchell v. Spokane, 55 Wash. 86, 104 Pac. 150, it was contended that the transfer of profits from the operation of the Spokane water system to the general fund of the city was illegal. In holding that such transfer was proper our Supreme Court said:
"The evidence shows that certain funds were transferred from the water account to the general fund. It is not clear that the funds so transferred were used for general purposes, but we assume that they were so used. We find nothing in the record to indicate that such money was required to be kept in a special fund, or that there were any outstanding overdue warrants to which it could have been applied. The matured obligations against the water fund all seem to have been met when due. When there is no requirement by statute or otherwise that money coming into the city treasury shall be kept in a special fund and applied to a particular purpose, it is proper, of course, to place it in the general fund, and to use it for general city purposes. If we understand counsel correctly, it is not claimed that any money derived from the sale of water or from the water system which was necessary for the maintenance and expenses of the system, was transferred to the general fund, but it is claimed that the profits of the system, after the expenses were paid, were placed in the general fund and that this was illegal; * * *"
We have examined a copy of the charter of the City of Bremerton and find nothing therein which would modify our conclusion that such transfers may be made by means of a city ordinance.
Very truly yours,
SMITH TROYAttorney General
FRED L. HARLOCKERAssistant Attorney General

The nocturnal Count returns to San Antonio in this critically acclaimed production choreographed by Artistic Director Gabriel Zertuche.
A meticulously staged, beautifully danced new story ballet choreographed by Zertuche…. San Antonio Express-NewsOctober 16-19, 2014
Tobin Center for the Performing Arts
Ballet San Antonio opens its inaugural season as the Tobin Center's resident ballet company with a reprise of Dracula, Zertuche's inspired take on Bram Stoker's epic novel. When the ballet premiered in 2011, San Antonio audiences and critics greeted it with rave reviews.
From the depths of Transylvania to the streets of London, the unstoppable Count Dracula has his pick of victims, and Jonathan Harker fights valiantly to save his beloved Mina from the count's grasp. Set in Victorian London and to a haunting score by Philip Feeney, the ballet unfolds in three acts that will captivate audiences with mesmerizing dancing and custom-designed scenery and costumes.

This Sonata is a late work and though it was premiered in 1919 by the composer's friend, violinist W.H. Reed, and pianist Landon Ronald, its most compelling interpreter and champion in its early years was famed English violinist Albert Sammons, who usually performed it with pianist William Murdoch. The composition quickly became recognized in England and throughout Europe and America for the masterpiece it is. Cast in three movements, the work features a lovely Andante—viewed as the emotional centerpiece of the work—framed by two mostly lively movements that brim with energy and color, while exhibiting a deft sense for contrast.-
Violin Sonata in E-, Op.82Key: E-
Year: 1918
Genre: Chamber Sonata
Pr. Instrument: Violin
- 1.Allegro
- 2.Romance: Andante
- 3.Allegro non troppo
The first movement Allegro begins stormily, but the lyrical alternate theme soon appears to quell the sense of anxiety with its reassuring warmth and lovely romanticism. But even it contains a restless sense and cannot banish the unsettling mood of the main theme from returning in the development section, and in the reprise and coda.
As suggested above, the Andante middle panel contains probably the most heartrending music in the work. Not that it brims with fevered passion throughout—indeed, much of the secondary material associated with the lovely main theme is playful and filled with sunshine. The more dramatic middle section soars to a lovely climax that is part Brahms and part Rachmaninov. The Allegro non troppo finale is lively and bright in its main theme, but exhibits an elegant stateliness, as well. While some of the alternate material imparts an ethereal and at times even ponderous character, the overall mood of the music is one of confidence and joy, its expressive language richly post-Romantic.

I know it is too soon, but today I opened a bottle just to see what it tasted like and if it had carbonated. My Hefewiezen has been in the bottle for 7 days. When I popped the cap I was happy to hear the ppppssssstttt. It tasted pretty good but it seemed like I could taste the alcohol. I'm sure it will condition out to be a very good beer.
In a few more weeks they will be superb!!. I made a brew that tasted a lot like a beer called Hobgoblin and at one week there was little carbonation,after a month they were outstanding!! Give your brew a little more time and then report back and let us know how it is?

Dating Red Flags
Some women are notorious for turning a blind eye to the warning signs, even if they're staring them right in the face.
Here are some of the "RED FLAGS" to watch out for1. If your man is living in his mother's house for more than a couple of months — I give a small grace period — RED FLAG.2. If he drives an expensive car, but rents an apartment — RED FLAG.3. If he over accessorizes — RED FLAG.4. If your man wears more than one ring per hand, more than one bracelet per wrist, and more than one necklace per neck — RED FLAG.5. If he is always the one who's overdressed for the occasion — RED FLAG.6. If your man is constantly spending money on you without regard to price (i.e., clothes, trips, jewelry) and he can't afford it — RED FLAG.7. If your man constantly asks to "hold" some money or expect you to pay while on dates — RED FLAG.8. If he approaches you with a flattering, yet rehearsed line — RED FLAG.9. If he says he has a job but can't articulate exactly what it is he does for a living— RED FLAG.10. If he talks about himself than more about he inquires about you — RED FLAG.

2013 Grand Boulevard Award Winners
SamTrans is exploring new options to improve transit service for those that live, work, or play along the El Camino Real corridor. Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) can provide faster bus service that could reduce travel times by up to 30 percent, over local bus routes by employing skip stop service, traffic signal improvements, and other operational enhancements. This type of "development-oriented transit" would expand transportation options and complement the GBI's efforts.
SamTrans has kicked-off a BRT Phasing Plan Study that will identify the optimal features for a BRT type service for the 26-mile El Camino Real corridor from Daly City in the north to the Palo Alto Transit Center in the south. The study will look at what low-cost operational improvements can provide faster bus service in the next 2-3 years while also analyzing the value of more capital-intensive improvements like dedicated bus lanes and improved transit stations in the long-term.
This feasibility study will involve substantial outreach to the public and private sector, including the GBI Task Force and local governments along the corridor, as well as public workshops in the fall of 2013.Additional information can be found online here:

SamTrans Press Release
SamTrans and the City of Millbrae are providing pedestrians with a safe, new crossing on El Camino Real to reach the Caltrain/BART Intermodal Station. The new signal, combined with landscape and walking path improvements, provide customers with a more pleasant way of getting from the transit hub to downtown Millbrae.The Victoria Avenue project in Millbrae created a street crossing signal with a well-defined walking path and added sidewalk, bus stop and landscape enhancements to improve safety and access to the station for pedestrians. Making El Camino Real a more walkable, transit-friendly environment is one of the core objectives of the Grand Boulevard Initiative, which provided funding for the project.
Millbrae and SamTrans are both members of the Grand Boulevard Initiative, which seeks to transform El Camino Real into a pedestrian-friendly boulevard with mixed-use residential and commercial development. Grand Boulevard partners share a vision for the future of the Peninsula's "Main Street" and are taking a grassroots approach to achieving that shared vision on a project-by-project basis.
"While achieving a safer pedestrian environment was the project's most important goal, this work has the added benefit of encouraging walking and transit use by making the experience easier and the corridor more inviting," said Millbrae Mayor Gina Papan.
The improvements cost $475,590, which were contributed through a combination of federally available funds earmarked for local projects and local contributions.

Seriously JZ? Maybe you should sell your resort home! Shame on you..
January 7, 2013 in Uncategorized
I just came back from Malaysia..was there slightly more than a month..Malaysia is a developing country..perhaps, similar to SA, I guess..
However, each day I read the news – the Government (ruling party Barisan Nasional with majority Bumiputras) was giving out financial aids to the lower income:
1) Rebate RM200 (R600) for youths to purchase smart phone
2) Once off RM500 (R1500) for singles, disabled, elderlys..
3) Financial aid to poor schools
etc etc etc.
But then again, the General Election is around the corner..maybe the government is trying to 'bribe' .??
Nonetheless, I wish ANC (JZ) could do something to help the poor here. Instead, today, I hear on radio that he moans about the average white earns 6 times more than the average black, still using the 'race' card or Apartheid as an excuse. Seriously?? Has he no shame? His home is like a resort (costing billions). Tax payers have to pay for JZ's 4 wives' living expenses. The corrupted government officials are stealing from the poor for their private homes, private jet, shopping, contracts etc etc..and now JZ is saying it's because of the whites?
I am so embarrassed…if only he could help the poor with real solutions rather than using the race card..

Want to tell the right-wing tabloids how you feel?
Then download handy campaign sticker templates here.
That link tells us the real enemy is Rupert Murdoch. His 'right-wing' tabloid The Sun has just advised its readers to vote Labour. Who are the Tory Scum you are warning us against? Is New Labour also counted as Tory Scum now? Their policies are certainly Tory. Who should we vote for? Let us know!
In response to Kit, Murdoch's Sun is doing what it always has, which is back the winner. Policies don't come into it.
Which is not to say that there hasn't been a certain amount of ideological blurring, of course.
Blair is more Tory than Mrs Thatcher. But then Mrs T went to a state school, Tony to a very posh public one. Leopards do not change their spots.
Love the anti-tory stickers, went round birmingham today sticking them on every lamp post.
"Mrs T went to a state school, Tony to a very posh public one. Leopards do not change their spots"
So the titled Anthony Wedgewood-Benn, the old Etonian George Orwell, the aristocrat Kropotkin don't change their spots. Yeah, right.
You socialists are all as posh as each other. Tony Benn, as we call him now, is an aristocrat, one of a long line of champagne socialists who tell us how to run the world from posh parts of London. What's Tony Blair seen of the world? Posh family, posh school, posh university, life as a barrister, then an MP. He's got a lot of people fooled, but the nasty old Tories will come back one day to clear up the usual chaos a Labour government leaves behind.
"You socialists are all as posh as each other."
Priceless. Does anybody know where I can get decent foie gras here in Tottenham..?
the funny thing is…."kit" is propbobly…..just as privaliged as tony b….just tony b's views are left! i know that labour polititions care about the well being of others, unlike any body who votes tory. and before you rant at me, im of privaliged back ground…and yet iv worked since i was 14 and went to comp school….oh im also dyslexic and i puttt many of my houres into dylexic charity as well as labour…ill fite till the day i die to stop a tory goverment….well being a tory goverment…oh and whilst im here, a bloke wrote a critical remark in the mock "hate mail" section. he said, "you sound like a bunch off midle class students who sound like you do what mummy and daddy say." he is midle class…theres nothing wrong with that…unles you think your god…which he does…and he does do what his "mummy" and "daddy" say….he votes TORY!
"the birds are flying"
The BNP are on the rise and there's no stopping it,DICKHEADS.

This retractable brow pencil earns points for its easy-to-use design and the included brow brush, but in terms of the pencil itself, it's really quite basic and not a beauty bargain. The pencil has a semi-stiff texture with a matte finish that stays put, and it comes in a range of colors, from taupe to black. The rectangle-shaped tip may be wider than some prefer, but it gets the job done.
This small Los Angeles–based makeup line was founded in 1999 by a woman named Toni Ko. The company's Web site is vague about Ko's background, merely stating that she developed an interest in cosmetics as a teenager (you know, just like about 99.9% of teenage women) and wanted to create her own line of cosmetics. Ko's goal was to produce high-quality products at affordable prices, and that's the draw of NYX (pronounced "nicks") Cosmetics. We are pleased to report that, for the most part, Ko succeeded in her childhood dream.
It is important to note that this line offers a full selection of makeup products, from foundations to lip gloss. However, the only place to access everything NYX Cosmetics has to offer is their Web site. The Ulta chain is the largest distributor of NYX Cosmetics products in the United States, but they carry a smaller selection of NYX products. The good news is that most of the few NYX products Ulta stocks are impressive, especially the powder eyeshadows, which compete evenly with eyeshadows that cost a lot more.
NYX Cosmetics customer service number is (866) 699-1004 or you can visit www.nyxcosmetics.com.
The color of this brow pencil was nice, and the results were ok, but the pigment stick fell out of the tube the first time I used it! I'm not sure I just happened to get a pencil with defective packaging, but I returned it anyways.

TakeTen is a local company who have invented an innovative product to bring the benefits of these techniques into our classrooms and workplaces in a fun and affordable way. I took a quick test drive with TakeTen founder Fintan Connolly over a cappuccino in Holywood.
Fintan you are a qualified pharmacist but five years ago you left a secure job to see if you could successfully bring to market this innovative technology for stress. What made you do it?
Schools and workplaces are bursting with stress, anxiety, anger and behavioural challenges. This is not new but what is very different today is the levels of medication being used to combat it. It would now be quite common for some schools to oversee the administration of pupil medications. Stress is at all-time high levels in schools with parental pressure for children to do well in exams especially in the current economy. Stress starts at home for many kids, who arrive into school in an anxious and often stressed state. Also there is lots of peer pressure from school friends. Once I discovered this amazing technology, I decided that I wanted to do something with it in schools. You might say my rallying call was "Don't medicate - meditate!
So what exactly is TakeTen?
TakeTen consists of simple techniques for managing your body's response to stress. These techniques are supported by software which runs on any PC. The TakeTen software uses a dongle-sized heart monitor which connects into your USB port and clips on your ear to let the computer track the changes in your heart rhythms and let you know if you are in the zone. It provides a monitoring dashboard and a number of games to help you learn the breathing techniques. The term TakeTen is about the cognitive and behavioural benefits which flow if you can regularly "take ten" minutes to get yourself into this positive physiological and mental state.
Is there real science behind TakeTen?
Absolutely. The core idea is that when we become stressed, anxious or angry this sends a message to the part of the brain (the cortex) which controls our thinking to tell it to shut down. In evolutionary terms we are preparing for fight or flight and thoughtfulness would just get in the way. We are designed to react to stress emotionally before we act logically. According to the research people can spend up to 90% of their day in these stressed states (known as incoherence) which is pretty worrying. The World Health organisation has highlighted that up to 95% of all illnesses are stress related so it is vital that we have something straightforward to help us deal with stress. TakeTen exploits two medical discoveries, firstly that it is possible to detect that we have become stressed through changes in our HRV (Heart Rate Variability) and secondly that we can learn to move out of this stressed state into a coherent state easily and effectively by controlling our breathing.
The original research was developed by The Institute of HeartMath in California and TakeTen have negotiated a worldwide license on the technology. In addition, we have developed our own software and games to help people learn how to move out of the stressed state and to make it fun and suitable for young people."
What are TakeTen's core markets?
Our core market is Education but we are also seeing great interest from the Corporate Market and TakeTen for home use in families. Also we are pursuing some very interesting opportunities in Healthcare to help patients manage their stress. This is particularly interesting as it is now accepted that patient recovery from serious illnesses is impacted in a major way by stress levels - for example, cancer patient recovery post chemotherapy and post radiotherapy. We are quite excited about all these markets as the TakeTen product set can handle them all with just some minor adaptations to the software/games in each case.
So how is the business going?
We are bang on plan - we have just finished year one and have solid core revenues. We have established franchises and partners locally and in the UK and are in advanced conversations with potential major international distributors in Scandinavia and the Baltics. We see partners as absolutely crucial to TakeTen's future and would be very interested in talking to anyone who is already delivering services into our target markets.
Have you any TakeTen success stories?
We have excellent empirical evidence of the value of TakeTen in schools from our own project work and also from global research from the Institute of HeartMath. For example, we conducted a project with 7 local schools and over a 3-month period were able to demonstrate 40-50% increases in key pupil areas such as conduct problems & hyperactivity.
The basic approach is that the teacher leads a session with the class via the TakeTen software to try to get the whole class into the same positive physiological & emotional state at the start of each day and very importantly before any major tests or exams.
Have you been able to prove the benefits of TakeTen in exam performance?
Not yet but we are very confident it is there and we are supporting a research proposal just about to start in Queens University to measure the impact of TakeTen. There is also a proposal for a research project on the effectiveness of TakeTen on children on the Autistic Spectrum.
Have you seen any other interesting uses of TakeTen?
I think you Ken, given your interest in teams and collaboration, would be interested in TakeTen for Teams. This is based on evidence that when a person in a classroom or a team is in an incoherent (or coherent) state that this leaks into and affects the other people too. So a future area we hope to explore is the use of TakeTen to support Classroom Dynamics and Team Dynamics interventions. Again we will be looking for the right kind of partners.
Also TakeTen for Software Engineers. One my partners in TakeTen, Ian Pennick, is a software engineer and he tells me that after he gets in the zone with TakeTen he is seeing a 2-3 times improvement in both his productivity and the quality of software developed.
Wow - that last point is pretty intriguing - do you think I could try TakeTen out myself - I could use a bit of productivity lift some days?
Absolutely Ken - as long as you agree to publish the results!
Hmm - OK. Final question Fintan: why are you based here in NI?
Well myself and my board/investors are all local people. There are lots of other reasons too including great support from Invest NI, the relationships and the great education base who have been very supportive in piloting TakeTen with us." ________________________________________Additional material on TakeTen including key facts, contact points, screenshots, videos and web links is available at www.bioteams.com.

I recently bought a turf king soaker hose, but it leaks like a sieve where it is connected to the garden hose, and it drips so unevenly that it's almost useless. Can anyone recommend a high quality soaker hose? My last resort is to do what I did at my last house, get the 1/4 inch black tubing and set up a drip system with the drippers and the 1/8 inch tubing. A lot of work, and expensive, but it works. Mac |
Follow-Up Postings:
They have this reddish brown soaker hose at HD that is currently laid out to water my new moso bamboo hedge. On my pressure it takes about 40 minutes to get the job done. |
Do you have a washer inside the hose at the connection? If so, try replacing it. Soaker hose will only leak evenly if it "sweats." If it sprays, the water pressure is too high. |
The end of the story is that there is no place for a washer there. I replaced this piece of junk with an American-made sprayer hose that works much like the soaker hose. Only this one does not leak like crazy at the junction. Thanks for your comments. Mac |
Every hose comes with a washer in the female end. In some instances, the washer fell out before you bought it. Some are plastic, others rubber. I prefer those made of rubber. The washer fits inside the female end of the hose so that the connection with another hose (or spigot) is drip-free. |
This post was edited by jean001a on Fri, Jul 5, 13 at 13:47
Saw a stack of Turf King soaker hoses today in a local retail store. Each one I checked had a washer in both ends. On the far end, the black cap had a black washer shaped like a ring. On the hose connector end, the washer was a kind I hadn't seen previously. It was a flat green disk with a small hole in the center which I suspect was a means to restrict the flow. If you removed the green disk, yes, the connection would certainly leak all over the place. If you still have the green disk, reinsert it and try the soaker again. Bet it will work just fine. |
Tony Avent has said that Flexon makes high quality soaker hoses that do not rupture. |
I got a cheap soaker at lowes and it has a huge washer /fitting inside the end that connects to my hose that has about a 1/4" opening. Only the first 1/3 of the hose even waters appreciably, the rest stays dry. Will drilling out this restrictor plate help? |
Soakers work best at very low pressure. You should turn on the faucet only enough that the hose sweats. (At my place, that's less than a quarter turn.) If the soaker hose sprays, output is guaranteed to be uneven. Most times, the plants at the far end receive little to no water. Instead of drilling out the flow restricter, back off the water at the spigot. |

We asked The Frisky's readers for the books that really affected them, both as people and as women. These are their picks, along with some of their thoughts!
A to B and Back Again by Andy Warhol
The private Andy Warhol talks: about love, sex, food, beauty, fame, work, money, success; about New York and America; and about himself–his childhood in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, good times and bad times in the Big Apple, the explosion of his career in the sixties, and life among celebrities.
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
Vladimir Nabokov called Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina "one of the greatest love stories in world literature.†Set in imperial Russia, Anna Karenina is a rich and complex meditation on passionate love and disastrous infidelity.
"As a piece of literature, virtually every aspect of that book is wonderful; as an example of 'women's literature,' it is just intensely romantic, politically astute, and I mean, the fashion is unparelled: who didn't imagine herself in Anna's perfect black velvet dress?" — Reader
Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret by Judy Blume
A novel for young adults, about a preteen girl in sixth grade who grew up with no religion confronting such problems as buying her first bra, having her first period (not to mention coping with belted sanitary napkins), liking boys, and whether to voice her opinion if it differs from what her girlfriends seem to believe.
"The part where she gets her period is appropriately mortifying." — Reader
The Babysitter's Club series by Ann M. Martin
In the course of the operation of the Babysitter's Club, Kristy comes to terms with her mother's engagement, Stacey confides to her new friends that she has diabetes, Claudia learns to tolerate and even appreciate her gifted older sister, and Mary Anne makes some compromises with her over-protective father.
"I wanted to be Stacy/Claudia. My favorite was the one where they babysit for the racist family." — Reader
The Beauty Myth by Naomi Wolf
Feminist Naomi Wolf argues that women's insecurities are heightened by unrealistic images of beauty , then exploited by the diet, cosmetic, and plastic surgery industries.
"I read this, and my world view changed. American standards of beauty are crap, and this backs that up. I met Naomi Wolf in October, and I could not stop blubbering about how much I loved it." — Reader

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Wolfie!
Facts about Wolfie
- Breed: Husky/Chow Chow Mix
- Color: White - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Wolfie's Info...
I am already neutered and not good with kids.
Woof! I'm Wolfie, a handsome 1 year old husky mix. They say I'm high energy, if that means I like to run then they are right! I love running in the fenced in yard at the rescue. I will even chase the ball, I won't bring it back, because playing keep away is so much fun. I don't mind meeting new people, but prefer to go slow as I'm a little jumpy with quick movement. This nice girl with a camera won me over with some treats and I rolled over so she could give me one of the most awesome belly rubs ever! I do know "sit" and "paw" and would love to learn more. I would prefer a home without young children but would probably be okay with older respectable ones. I'm so excited for winter...maybe if we get enough snow you can come and we can play "snowball!" So if you are looking for a young energetic guy consider coming and meeting me. Just get ahold of the wonderful folks at Wild Dog Rescue and they can arrange a time for us to get to know each other...I'll be waiting....
Other Pets at Wild Dog Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Wolfie, a Fennville Husky/Chow Chow dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Husky/Chow Chow for sale in Fennville, or seeking a Husky/Chow Chow dog from a breeder in Fennville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Fennville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Fennville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Husky/Chow Chow breeders who help with Husky/Chow Chow rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Fennville paves the way for another one to be saved.
