Live a Legend, Stave Off the Monstrous Horde
Legends of Andor Is Available Now |
Legends of Andor | Published 20 December 2012 |
Legends of Andor is available now at your local retailer and on our webstore!
Gather your allies and save the land of Andor in this cooperative adventure board game for two to four players. In Legends of Andor, a band of heroes must work together to repel an invading horde of monsters. To secure Andor's borders, the heroes will embark on dangerous quests in five unique scenarios (as well as a final scenario created by the players themselves).
Begin Your Adventure Today
Legends of Andor is a pick-up-and-play experience that teaches players the rules and mechanics of the game as they embark upon their grand adventure. With the Legend Track and a deck of Legend Cards, each phase of your quest introduces you to new concepts by using gameplay to teach each idea. Previously, we interviewed the creator of the game, Michael Menzel, about his process in approaching the design of Legends of Andor.
The Legend Track advances with the dawning of each new day, and we've taken an in-depth look at how the heroes will need to manage their priorities as they devote their time to battling monsters or seeking out powerful items. The hours in each day can be spent battling monsters, seeking out treasure, or simply traversing the vast landscape.
Players will need to collaborate to save the realm, determining best course of action for each hero. Who will work to gather the powerful runes, who will clash in combat with the monsters, and who will venture into the fog of the forest in search of the witch and her brew? Deciding how to spend each day during your quest to save Andor is vital, as the monsters move closer to the castle with each passing day.
Powerful Heroes in Legendary Battles
The heroes bring great skill and courage to the battle for Andor, and it will take their combined strength and iron will to protect King Brandur's castle. We discussed in detail how each hero can reinforce his individual might with equipment, items, and training. Take your heroics to new heights by building up your character before trying to take down the most powerful foes that threaten the land!
Battling the invading creatures is a tall order, and the terrible monsters must be fought and stopped before they overrun the castle of King Brandur. We examined how the heroes must face these fell foes in combat, and we explored the dire consequences of the champions' defeat in a previous article. Fight as a unified force to better your chances at success, and live out a your legend as you struggle to save the realm of Andor.
Excitement awaits in this learn-as-you-play adventure, so head to your local retailer and pick up Legends of Andor today!
Legends of Andor is a cooperative adventure board game for two to four players in which a band of heroes must work together to defend a fantasy realm from invading hordes. To secure Andor's borders, the heroes will embark on dangerous quests over the course of unique link scenarios. But as the clever game system keeps monsters on the march toward the castle, the players must balance their priorities carefully. Uncover epic tales of glory as you live the Legends of Andor!

LOVELL, Wyo. — An early bloom of aquatic algae on the Bighorn River has frustrated some irrigators and anglers, who say the masses of green goo are thicker than in recent years.
While algae blooms are common along the river, which runs through northern Wyoming and south-central Montana to its confluence with the Yellowstone River, the plant doesn't typically appear until later in the season when temperatures rise.
"It usually builds up as the summer progresses," said fisheries biologist Mark Smith of Wyoming Game and Fish. "But as the weather has gone, we're seeing algae now we'd normally see around the first of July."
Smith said the algae is a naturally occurring plant. Aquatic insects feed on it and fish, in turn, feed on the insects.
But some irrigators who draw water from the Bighorn River, and anglers who turn to the waterway for sport, are troubled by the early bloom.
"If you're a fisherman, whenever you cast, all you catch is moss," said Bob Croft, president of Friends of Bighorn Lake. "When you're an irrigator, your equipment gets plugged up. A lot of years we don't have any problems, but it's been way too hot for the third week of May."
Croft said surface temperatures on Bighorn Lake hit 70 degrees this week. Efforts to flush the algae from the river system upstream have only brought the algae downstream, he said.
"When you knock it loose, it all comes down the system," he said. "When you get into the reservoir, you get the big floating pods of it, this big green mass, and it creates quite an issue for everyone."
Dennis Fischer of Fischer's Fishers, a Bighorn River guide and outfitter based in Fort Smith, Mont., said the algae has been present in years past, but it's rarely appeared as thick as it is so early in the season.
"We always seem to have a little algae bloom in late May or early June that lasts for a few weeks and goes away," Fischer said. "It don't know why it's worse this year than other years. A lot of people are complaining about it, but they do every year when it blooms."
Fischer believes that with high water flows over the past two years, the algae hasn't been as noticeable. But with low snowpack and summery temperatures early, river and reservoir systems are running low, and the algae is more prevalent.
"You've got to have it," Fischer said. "The bugs grow in it. We could just use just a little less of it."
Smith said the irrigation district out of Worland requested a flushing about two weeks ago in an effort to move the algae downstream. Game and Fish generally requests a flushing in March to clean out gravel beds to help fish during the spawn.
Smith said it's likely the algae will build to a certain level before falling back.
"The Bighorn is pretty productive that way," Smith said. "It has the right combination of bottom substrate, temperature and light. It has the right conditions to produce the algae, but it's unusual to have that much this early in the year."

Notre Dame heads to Big East semis with win over Marquette

Updated: March 15, 2013 12:25AM
NEW YORK — Notre Dame will make its fourth consecutive trip to the Big East tournament semifinals after a 73-65 comeback victory Thursday night against conference co-champion Marquette at Madison Square Garden.
The No. 24 Fighting Irish (25-8) overcame a double-digit deficit against the No. 12 Golden Eagles (23-8) to advance. They'll face
No. 2 seed Louisville on Friday in a repeat of a semifinal last year.
''Here we go again,'' coach Mike Brey said of the matchup won last year by the Cardinals en route to their tournament title and eventually the Final Four. ''In our games that go overtime, we've won. But they handled us there five days ago. I hope it's overtime.''
The Irish won an epic five-overtime game 104-101 on Feb. 9 in South Bend.
Three-point shooter Pat Connaughton led the Irish on Thursday with 18 points. Jamil Wilson led Marquette with 16.
Jerian Grant added 17 points for Notre Dame, and Garrick Sherman scored 16 off the bench, many at critical times.
''Everyone does their part, and we're always ready to go,'' Sherman said of Notre Dame's big men. ''Tonight was my turn.''
Sherman added six rebounds on a night when All-Big East center Jack Cooley was limited to six points and six rebounds before fouling out.
The Eagles outrebounded the Irish 42-31 and shot a better percentage from the field (46.6 percent to 40 percent), but they committed 11 first-half turnovers that were costly.
''We have to be a lot better than we were tonight,'' said Marquette coach Buzz Williams, whose team reached the Sweet 16 last season. ''We shot 50 percent in the first half but made 11 turnovers against a team that doesn't press. We didn't get to the bonus [to shoot free throws] until the last minute.''
The Irish trailed by 13 in the first half after a 7-0 opening run by Marquette. But they chipped back, holding the Eagles scoreless from the field for six minutes. They tied the score at 23 on Sherman's basket at the 3:26 mark before taking their first lead with 2:48 left on Sherman's third consecutive basket.
The Eagles led again 48-44 with 9:35 left, but Vander Blue was called for a foul with 8:28 left and Sherman converted a three-point play to start a critical 9-2 run for Notre Dame.
Marquette cut the lead to 54-52 with 5:20 left, but a succession of fouls put the Irish on the line and Connaughton caught fire from behind the arc with two of his six three-pointers in the last three minutes.
Notre Dame went 18-for-21 from the free-throw line while Marquette was 7-for-12.

After Ron Artest made his riotous comedy debut this month, you were probably left with one obvious question: "Where does Ron Artest get all of his hilarious jokes?" Seeing as he is a natural comedian in his prime, it's only natural to wonder just how he got to be so hilariously funny.
The answer, of course, is in the bathroom. From Sports Illustrated's Sam Amick:
SI.com: So what's your comedy process? You sit down and write your material, or go off the cuff or what?
Artest: I get most of my jokes in the bathroom. I go to the bathroom and come up with some silly stuff, some good stuff, and then I go get my pen and pad and my recorder, just to see how I'm going to do it. I'm not doing the whole set, but I'm trying to figure out which joke I'm going to say and how I'm going to say it. So I practice it, and then I go out there and do it.
There's probably nothing that makes more sense than Ron Artest coming up with is comedy routine while he's in the loo. It kind of explains everything. Let's just be glad he grabs the recorder after he's out, otherwise he'd definitely sample his poopsperiences in a rap song, then put it on Twitter because he's an oversharer. Crisis averted, barely.
But, as it turns out, bathroom-generated jokes are quite fruitful, which is why Uncle John has made so many bathroom readers that always go on sale for $5.99 at Barnes and Noble. This toilet tomfoolery pays so well, in fact, that Artest might even give up his lockout plan of being rumored to play in every league ever.
SI.com: We talked a while back about how you planned to handle the lockout. Now that it's here, give me the rundown of what you're doing.
Artest: We're definitely going to do some more comedy shows. We had four this month, but one of them got canceled. But we picked up like 10 more. I was going to go overseas and keep it going [with basketball] and get a check, but the comedy shows are paying [as much as I would earn playing] overseas, so I can just stay over here and do comedy shows.
SI.com: I don't know anything about the comedy game, but that surprises me to hear that it pays that well. It's pretty lucrative?
Artest: Yeah, man. It's pretty surprising. I was surprised, and I'm just being myself. The guy who booked me is booking some more, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be doing this for a little second.
All of these players are heading overseas to make some scrilla during the lockout, when they should have just been thinking of jokes in their bathrooms. It's so much easier to throw on an oversized blazer and some giant white sneakers, then hit the stage for some laffs than it is to go to another country where you have to learn a whole new language, worry about your health and hope that your team actually pays you.
Considering how easy and cushy this comedy thing has been for Ron Artest, it's hard to believe that more NBA dudes didn't start their own comedy tours this summer. I mean, the "What is the deal with first class airline food prepared by a personal chef?" jokes basically write themselves.

Home Congregations About Us Bookstore Press Room Giving
Page Navigation
In "Love Will Guide Us," a Tapestry of Faith program
Our Unitarian Universalist beliefs come from the sense of wonder we all share.
Gather participants at work tables. Invite them to decorate a Source Star to take home and share with their family. Suggest they draw a heart to symbolize the sense of wonder awesome things can make our hearts feel, or something awesome they have experienced that made their heart go "Wow!" As children work, attach a Source Star that says "We learn from our Sense of Wonder" to the Night Sky.
When participants finish, invite them to bring their decorated treasure boxes and gather in a circle, preferably seated near the chalice table. Invite each child in turn to point out how they turned an imperfection in the wood into something beautiful. Affirm each child, with words like:
Wow! It's awesome that you were able to turn that knot (or crack or smudge) into a beautiful ... (describe the design the child created.)
Ask participants what Unitarian Universalist Source they discovered today. Indicate the first Source words you have posted on newsprint. Invite the children to follow along quietly as you read aloud:
Take a moment to reinforce what the Source means: feeling a moment of "wow" in your heart. Invite volunteers to give an example. Say, in your own words:
Today we learned ways a flaw can be awesomely beautiful. As Unitarian Universalists, we learn from our own sense of wonder when things make us feel a "wow!" This Source says our own feelings of wonder can point us to love. Whenever we feel that sense of wonder, we can let that "wow" feeling guide us to love.
If you wish to sing "Our Sources," distribute Session 1, Handout 3 or indicate the newsprint where you have posted the lyrics. Teach/lead the song, with a musical volunteer if you have invited someone to help. You might play the music clip of "Our Sources" for the children to sing along.
Distribute Taking It Home and thank participants.
Save the Night Sky display and the handouts/newsprint to use next time.
At this age, children have a wide range of reading ability. Do not put individual children on the spot to read aloud.

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 Gunther!
Facts about Gunther
- Breed: Labrador Retriever/Pointer Mix
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Gunther's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Gunther is an extremely mellow and a very good dog. He gets along with other dogs, but does prefer people. He is cuddly and gives kisses. He is great with children and is house trained
Other Pets at San Antonio R.O.C.K.S.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Gunther, a San Antonio Labrador Retriever/Pointer dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Pointer for sale in San Antonio, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Pointer dog from a breeder in San Antonio.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in San Antonio 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 San Antonio 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 Labrador Retriever/Pointer breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/Pointer rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in San Antonio paves the way for another one to be saved.

The one I am reviewing is in the new packaging, so I am not sure if it is the same as the older stuff...
I bought this because CVS was having a sale and I think I paid like $1 for it or something ridiculously cheap. I went back to school & am broke as a joke, so I can't be too choosey these days. My body wash of choice would be the Dove Cream-oil but it's kinda pricey. That being said, of the large selection that softsoap offers (which they have a nice, big range) I picked this because I hoped that the sea salt granules would help give me body a nice glow this summer.
Well, as far as exfoliating goes, it really doesn't do a whole lot. There just isn't enough of the salt to really scrub, so for me if does not replace the occasional rough body scrub. But for a daily body wash, it is fine. It lathers up and get's me clean, what more can I say? It doesn't moisturize a whole lot like my dove, but it doesn't dry me out either.
It smells really good - like cucumbers & salt, with a hint of some kind of freshness, maybe a little bit of a natural floral scent in there, too? I'm not really sure how to describe it, but I do like the smell a lot.
I just finished up my bottle, and it took me a while, maybe 3 months? So I feel like it was a very worthwhile purchase. I would buy it again if it's on sale, but I am not running out to replace it right away.

Smells like the sea to me...a very energizing and uplifting scent.
The exfoliating qualities are average; the grains are not abrasive.
It foams easily, with long-lasting bubbles.
A very good value, considering the quantity for the price.

Smells nice and fresh and oceany, and cleanses well without drying. The beads were kind of fine. They didn't work as well as the apricot version. But I still like this a lot. I got this at CVS for $1.99 for 18 oz.

This turned out to be better than I'd expected. I thought it would leave my skin feeling dry and tight, but it's just the opposite - I don't even need to moisturize after. I will either repurchase this or Zest Aloe Splash, since they don't leave any residue on my skin (unlike Olay or Nivea) but don't dry me out either. The salt granules did take me by surprise since they are a bit rough but they don't really bother me.

My mother gave me two bottles of this, as she'd gotten it for free. I must say, it is a really nice body wash. It smells really great and I like the exfoliating beads. I, however, feel that it has been exfoliating so well because I use an exfoliating bath mit when I use this. The beads don't work as well if you just lather using your hands. It is a very nice product and I'm glad to have tried it, but I don't believe I'd ever actual spend money on this.

This is a very good body wash. It cleanses well, is not drying at all and smells very refreshing. The sea salt in it is great for daily all over basic exfoliation, but not enough to take the place of an actual salt or sugar scrub that might be needed on any rough areas.
I'd love for it to be moisturizing also but since I usually always use a lotion after my showers, and rotate through several other washes and soaps that are, it's really not that big of a deal. I will definitely purchase this again.

Original price is around $5 but CVS offered free after extra buck and that's why I tried this body wash. It has very pleasant fresh scent but it doesn't clean well on my body. I always use loaf (mostly from BBW with 75% clearance) but I had to apply different cleanser for my armpits where deodorant applied. CVS offered twice and I purchased twice but I won't repurchase with normal price. And I don't see any radiant on my body :( I like Softsoap's cashmere body wash though.

Smells okay and cleans well, but the exfoliating granules in this are too large and feel sharp and rough on skin. Won't repurchase.

Personally, I'd just jump to plan B and strip off the top with a chemical stripper. Do not attempt to just "sand this off" as you'll quickly go through the veneer. I think this is just too much bad finish to try to cover it up. In the same amount of time you'll spend trying to get it to build and look good, you could have stripped it. Then apply top coat of choice. While the original is lacquer, a wipe-on varnish would be fine and the most foolproof to apply. Aerosol lacquers (I use them daily in touch up work) just don't build very fast. Lacquer's main advantages are very fast dry time and ease of repair. But it's not the most DIY friendly. You could use a brush on lacquer such as Watco Lacquer or Deft Lacquer in a can if you are stuck on using lacquer. If there's any chance that Pledge or another furniture polish containing silicone oil has ever been used, you'll want to seal it in with a couple of coats of dewaxed shellac sprayed on. If the finish fish-eyes, you know you have silicone oil in there. |
- Posted by franksmom_2010 (My Page) on Sun, Jan 27, 13 at 14:53
Thanks so much! Sanding was never an option, because the top and edge banding are all veneer, so I know better. The finish doesn't have to be lacquer at all. If I use a wiping varnish, what would you recommend? I just used a wiping poly to finish our fireplace mantle, and that was easy as pie, but I don't know if poly is the best choice for a table top. I just bought unfinished chairs that I plan to stain to match the table, so they'll need finishing, too, and I was thinking of doing them with a wipe-on finish anyway. |
- Posted by bobsmyuncle (My Page) on Sun, Jan 27, 13 at 19:26
If you want a urethane varnish, General Finishes' "Arm-r-Seal" works well. Ignore the label that says "urethane and oil blend." It's double-speak for "varnish." But you can convert any brushing varnish to a wipe on varnish by simply diluting it. Alkyd and phenolic varnishes are alternatives to urethane. Pratt & Lambert #38 and Sherwin Williams Fast Dry (not polyurethane) are alkyds; Waterlox is phenolic. |

That was a great article! And I poked around and read a few more. Problem is, I still don't know what kind of varnish that I want. I know that poly is the current darling of the finish world, and some people think it's the greatest thing ever and others think it's crap. From what I have read, for a dining table and chairs that will get almost daily use, I don't think poly is the best choice, although it wouldn't be the worst choice, either. We also have cats with claws, so scuffs and scratches are to be expected, and I imagine that any finish for this use will occassionally need touching up. I have read that Waterlox is one of the best, and people who have used it (including average DIY types) have had great success. Arm-r-seal also has good reviews, and it looks like it's almost half the cost of the Waterlox. It would also be easier for me to purchase locally. What is the benefit of using alkyd vs. urethane vs. phenolic? |
"Personally, I'd just jump to plan B and strip off the top with a chemical stripper. " Why? Lacquer is so easily repaired and coated with another layer it is not worth the risk to strip it if it is ovarall in good shape. You can try painting on lacquer thinner to smooth the surface, followed by a few coats of solvent based Deft Clear Wood Finish (actual lacquer). It will melt into the existing lacquer just fine. If you use gloss you can then rub it to whatever sheen level you want. |

Doesn't look "in good shape" to me. Fracturing / peeling, fissures, bare spots, dirty, potential silicone oil contamination. > Lacquer is so easily repaired and coated with another layer it is not worth the risk to strip it if it is ovarall in good shape. Really, brush on some stripper, cover with a sheet of plastic, come back in an hour an scrape it off. Wipe clean with recommended neutralizer and/or acetone or lacquer thinner, let dry overnight and you have a sure good base for your new coats. No more work to do it right and reduce the risk. Poly's attributes, plus and minus, are listed below. Phenolic (Waterlox) tends to be more garnet colored, that can be a distraction on light woods or enhance dark woods. It's quite water resistant. Alkyd is generally lighter in color (good for light colored woods or natural finishes), especially if made with Soya vs. Linseed oil. The same guy that wrote the article above, just said on another forum, " Unfortunately, poly has become the go-to finish for almost all amateur/hobbyist woodworkers because it is all that is available in the local hardware and big box stores, and it is by far the darling of the woodworking press. While poly has its place, its only significant attribute (other than being available everywhere) is its extreme abrasion resistance. But, on the down side, poly tends to take on a plastic look, especially when applied too heavily. It also yellows dramatically over time, is highly subject to UV damage and is difficult to repair. So, if you aren't going to walk on it; if you don't need the abrasion resistance, why put up with the shortcomings?" |
- Posted by franksmom_2010 (My Page) on Mon, Jan 28, 13 at 21:40
Eh. I was going to use lacquer thinner to strip it anyway, so I could certainly try brushing it out, first, just to see what I get. I've got nothing to lose but time. Still haven't made a decision as to what kind of varnish if I go that route. Other than no poly. Does anyone have experience with Arm-r-seal? |
- Posted by bobsmyuncle (My Page) on Mon, Jan 28, 13 at 22:44
Arm-r-seal is a wiping poly varnish. |
- Posted by franksmom_2010 (My Page) on Mon, Jan 28, 13 at 22:54
Oh well good grief! Here I thought I had it all figured out! So then why are there all of these posts all over the net gushing over how fabulous it is, and how much better it is than Minwax?! Not just one brand vs. another, but I had the impression that it was apples and oranges. Is there an acceptable non-poly varnish that is sold in the big box stores? Is Waterlox a better choice? |
- Posted by bobsmyuncle (My Page) on Tue, Jan 29, 13 at 13:12
Non-poly varnish sold in big box stores? Not likely. Minwax has gobbled up most of the shelf space. Varathane got what's left. You might find Cabot 8000 series (used to be McCloskey's Heirloom, then things got assimilated into Valspar). 8000, 8007, etc only indicate the sheen level (gloss, satin, etc.) Lowe's is a major customer of Valspar's but I've not looked for it there. I got a can at my corner Do-it-best hardware store a few years ago. http://www.cabotstain.com/pdf/Oil_Varnish.pdf The easiest to find would be Sherwin-Williams "Fast Dry Varnish" that you can find, but might have to ask for, in their neighborhood stores. |

Behlen's rock hard Table Top Varnish is still out there. The mere act of trying to strip a finish from a veneered piece can result in all sorts of bad things. Ifg you are worried about fish eye, all the striping you do is unlikely to solve the problem. Fish Eye Eliminator (pure silicone) can be added to the new finish to eliminate fish eye. I normally just toss them, or keep expensive things like a spray gun just for use with silicone. |
- Posted by bobsmyuncle (My Page) on Tue, Jan 29, 13 at 17:52
I spray a couple of coats of Seal Coat (100% dewaxed shellac) to seal in the silicone when I expect it. I can normally predict a problem when I apply the stripper. It can fish - eye, too. |

Did I mention that the table has two leaves? We plan to use the table most of the time without leaves, but however the table in round form is finished, I'll do the same to the leaves. But I can practice on the leaves...the one small area of a leaf that I tested with lacquer thinner did smooth out all of the crackling, but it made the finish dull. Is that an indication of anything (the dreaded silicone)? I think Cabots is sold at my local HD or Lowes. I know they sell their stain, not sure about finishes, though. So, back to lacquer...other than good ventilation, any other tricks to working with this? Do I need the same kind of warmish/dryish conditions as any other finish? Our weather is fickle right now, so the whole mess may have to wait until spring. |
Lacquer dries so quickly that warmer temps (and the higher humidity that comes with them) are often a problem. I prefer lacquering (brushing lacquer) in my open garage in cool to cold weather to slow things down a little. |
- Posted by franksmom_2010 (My Page) on Tue, Feb 12, 13 at 10:13
Here's the update. I tried brushing on the lacquer thinner to smooth out the finish, and it just didn't work very well. Some of the deeper crackled areas smoothed out a tiny bit, but certainly not enough that I would put a new layer of finish on them. So, on to plan B and stripping the whole top off. I'm still undecided about a finish. I think brushing lacquer is going to be too fussy and error prone for me. I thought about lacquer in the spray can, but wonder how many coats that would take. I'm guessing a lot. I had almost convinced myself to buy the Waterlox, but I've seen the varnish in a few videos, and it looks really, really dark. And much too reddish. Since I'm only refinishing the tops, I think I need something that leans towads amber. After lots of reading, the Sherwin Williams product is out. Many more negative comments online about this product, particularly as a wiping varnish, so I'm not even going to try it. The Cabot's products available at Lowes are all poly or spar. Of the choices available locally, this leaves poly or Formby's. I know many people have an issue with Formby's over the whole misleading marketing of "tung oil" and all, but really, what about the product itself? Does anyone have experience with this? Application? Durability? What color is it? Repairs and touch ups? If I use a coat of shellac on the top after stripping, can I apply ANY finish on top of that? BTW, my set of unfinished chairs was delivered. The plan is to sand (gently), stain, assemble (with added glue in all appropriate joints), then finish. Any other suggestions or tips? |
- Posted by bobsmyuncle (My Page) on Tue, Feb 12, 13 at 19:26
The Formby's product is a wipe-on varnish. It's been very long since I used it and even that piece of furniture is long-gone. Just be sure your shellac is de-waxed. Otherwise, poly and w/b acrylic will have adhesion problems. I like Seal Coat for this type of application. During chair glue up work hard to keep glue inside the joints. Glue prevents stains from working if the glue smears (called "glue blotching"). If you are using oil-based finishes, you can smear a bit of wax around the joints. The latest Fine Woodworking Magazine has a good article on this. You should be able to find it at a bookstore or library. Chairs have a lot of intersecting surfaces. It's easy to spray them and a pain to brush finish on. Just do your best to keep a "wet edge" and watch out for runs where pieces meet. |

1. Why are the Foundations proposing to amalgamate? A fully integrated, amalgamated foundation is the best way to help the hospital advance and achieve its strategic mission.
As one Foundation with one voice, we will have a heightened ability to support our hospital on a much broader and more efficient scale, while continuing to address the site-specific needs of the founding hospitals within Trillium Health Partners. This will result in an effective, coordinated implementation and fulfillment of hospital priorities.
Over the past year and a half, the Credit Valley Hospital Foundation and Trillium Health Centre Foundation have been working more closely as we raise vital funds for Trillium Health Partners. An amalgamation is natural evolution of our strong and successful collaboration.
We are in one of the fastest growing communities in Canada – the projected growth is over 21% between 2008 and 2018. The hospital needs our support. We believe that by amalgamating the two organizations, this is the path to most efficiently and effectively meeting the needs of the hospital.
Unifying resources demonstrates our commitment to operational efficiencies and maximizing donor investments. By pooling resources, our operations can more effectively support the highest priority needs of the hospital. At the same time, as always, donors will always be able to direct their support to the area or site most important to them.
2. What will be the name of the amalgamated Foundation? The name of the amalgamated Foundation will be Trillium Health Partners Foundation.
3. Who will be the new President and CEO? The amalgamated Foundation will be led by Steve Hoscheit who becomes President and CEO. He will be supported by his senior leadership team of Meaghan Stovel McKnight, Anne Tatoff, Cathy Carter, Nicole Lamont and Pamela Quirk.
4. What are the benefits of the proposed amalgamation? The fact that this is an amalgamation means that we are coming together as equal partners. The top five benefits of amalgamation are:
5. When will the Foundations be amalgamating? Pending subsequent approval by government, we plan to be amalgamated July 1, 2013. It is important to understand that the July 1, 2013 amalgamation date is a starting point – it is the beginning of our efforts to effectively align our operations over the next year to best serve the hospital.
6. As a donor, is there an opportunity to have a voice in the integration process? We rely on the support and engagement of our community. As always, we encourage feedback and welcome ongoing dialogue throughout the integration process as we work together to advance the mission of the hospital while addressing its highest priority fundraising needs. We will continue to reach out to the community in a variety of ways, as well as to hospital staff, physicians, volunteers and other health care stakeholders to ensure positive engagement and open dialogue.
7. What are the costs involved in amalgamating? We are very fortunate to have very active and enthusiastic volunteers engaged in this process, volunteering their services. This has limited the need to engage outside consultative resources. Every effort has been and will be made to continue to minimize any costs associated with the amalgamation. All costs will be absorbed within our existing budget and in the long term maximized fundraising operations will yield more funds for the hospital.
8. Will the new Foundation have a new Board of Directors? Who will be the Chair? Once the resolution is passed to amalgamate the two foundations, we will move to one Board of Directors. All directors on both boards have been approached to serve on an amalgamated board with a strong response among our board members to continue to serve on the new Board.
We strongly believe in One Board, One Voice, One Foundation, One Hospital.
9. The foundations that serve Halton Healthcare Services and the foundations that serve UHN, didn't amalgamate so why do you feel our foundations need to amalgamate? Every situation is different and due diligence has clearly shown that there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
Independent research and a board-led due diligence process has proven that there is no clear path that determines a successful outcome for Foundations following a hospital merger. Any decision needs to be rooted on what is best for that unique and particular situation.
Following 18 months of extensive due diligence, our recommendation is that our foundations should amalgamate to best advance the strategic direction of the hospital.
10. Will the names of the two foundations be preserved? Upon amalgamation, the foundations will begin operating as Trillium Health Partners Foundation. We will spend the next year integrating operations of the two legacy foundations under one Board and one CEO, and aligning all fundraising activities, marketing, communications, finance and administration in order to best advance the strategic mission of the hospital.
We will also begin developing a new brand identity and brand structure that will make every effort to include the legacy of our two founding foundations just as Trillium Health Partners honoured the legacy of its founding hospitals.
What will always remain is the ability to direct your support to the area of need most important to you, based on the approved hospital funding priorities at any location. Alternatively, you can choose to direct your gift in support of Trillium Health Partners as a whole. We are committed to ensuring that your gifts have maximum impact and are directed according to your request.
With the amalgamation please know as well that all existing namings, current donor agreements and planning giving agreements are also preserved.
11. How will having just one foundation affect 3rd party fundraising events who just want to raise money for one site? As always, there is every opportunity to designate funds for site-specific or program-specific needs of Trillium Health Partners, based on the approved highest priority needs of the hospital. As Trillium Health Partners Foundation, we will continue to raise money for site-specific needs while also raising the funds needed to advance the mission of Trillium Health Partners as a whole.
12. How long will the amalgamation process take? An amalgamation must be properly planned, timed and communicated both internally and externally to ensure a smooth transition from separate operational plans, strategy and campaigns to a singular, integrated strategy and campaign. This will help minimize brand confusion, loss of revenue and loss of key employees during the transition period.
The Foundation will spend the next year integrating operations under one Board and one CEO. This will involve developing a new brand identity that honours the legacy of our two founding foundations, as well as integrating and aligning our Fundraising activities, marketing, communications, finance and administration.
13. Give us a practical example of how amalgamation benefits donors? Unifying resources demonstrates our commitment to operational efficiencies and maximizing donor investments. By pooling resources, more funds can be directed to meet the highest priority needs of the hospital. At the same time, as always, donors will always be able to direct their support to the area or site most important to them.
An amalgamated foundation means the best of both worlds: we retain the ability to direct donor gifts to any site-specific areas of interest yet at the same time have the opportunity to introduce new and exciting pan-hospital initiatives, for example, in the areas of research or our teaching mandate through our academic affiliation.
14. How will things change for donors after the amalgamation? The biggest change will be an increased opportunity for donors. We retain the ability to direct donor gifts to any site-specific areas of interest yet at the same time have the opportunity to introduce new and exciting pan-hospital initiatives, for example in the areas of research or supporting our teaching madate through our academic affiliation. The other change will be in our name: Trillium Health Partners Foundation.
15. I only want my donations to go to the hospital where I receive my care, which is Credit Valley (the former Trillium Health Centre sites: Mississauga Hospital and Queensway Health Centre). Can donors still give to site-specific programs or needs? Yes. As always, donors may designate how they want their funds used based on the approved highest priority needs of the hospital. For example, donors can choose to direct their donation to a specific site or to pan-hospital initiatives.
16. What happens to my existing pledge or gift agreement with Credit Valley Hospital/Trillium Health Centre Foundation? The Foundations' amalgamation has no affect on current donor agreements. We will continue to work with donors to ensure that all their intentions are honoured.
17. What name will be on my donation tax receipt next year? Once the resolution for amalgamation is passed and we receive notice of letters patent from the government, the amalgamated Foundation will then begin using the name Trillium Health Partners Foundation. Shortly thereafter, and once we have finalized our brand identity and it is registered, tax receipts will begin being issued under the name Trillium Health Partners Foundation.

Mr. Gormley asked the Minister for Finance the plans, if any, he has to include the provision of private car parking spaces in offices, both public and private sector, as benefit-in-kind for tax purposes; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18344/98] Minister for Finance (Mr. McCreevy) Charlie McCreevy Minister for Finance: (Mr. McCreevy): The method of taxation of benefits-in-kind provided by employers for their employees is contained in section 118, Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997. The charge to tax arising on the employee is determined by the amount of the expense incurred by the employer in providing the benefit. The Revenue Commissioners have advised me that the provision of private car parking spaces would already be regarded as coming within the existing charge but, to the extent that the cost to an employer or the benefit to an employee is indeterminate, no taxable benefit would be considered to arise. This would be the position where, for example, car parking spaces are included in the overall cost to the employer of office space or are for the use of both clients and employees. All proposals for change in tax law or in current tax treatment will be considered carefully in the context of the preparation of the forthcoming budget and Finance Bill. Mr. Gormley Mr. Gormley 1104 251.

I have a area in my garden which I'm planning to put a number of lilies in the fall. I've ordered a few tall orienpet lilies from Holland Bulbs for the fall, which are supposed to grow to 6-8 feet in a few years. I'm wondering what people do with different varieties of lilies. Ideally, I'd like to prolong the blooming as long as possible with combining different varieties. I've been reading about asiatics (which seem to have been in bloom in my area from about 2 weeks ago), stargazer lilies, oriental lilies, trumpet lilies, etc. Can any lily experts give me a general idea of which order the different lilies bloom in their gardens? I guess it technically doesn't matter, I could just buy a bunch of different varieties in the fall and plant them all and see what happens next year, hoping for a long show. It would just be nice to have an idea on when the different ones bloom to coordinate the different flowers in the garden. I ordered three varieties of orienpets, but am planning on buying the other lily varieties in garden centers in the fall. In your experience are there a number of different lily varieties available in the big box stores in the fall (orientals, asiatics, stargazers)? |

IME, most retail centers - and that includes the box stores as well as most nurseries and garden centers - offer lilies in spring, not fall. If you want fall selection, it is best to get that from lily specialty nurseries online or by mail order. However, in spring in my area most retail outlets offer a good selection of a variety of lily types. |
Huh, I assumed they would be available in the fall, that's too bad. I guess we'll see... |

Here in my zone, lily bulbs (and fresh stock - not unsold left-overs) would become available in the fall for planting just about right away because the soil is cooling and still workable. If I planted an Oriental or Asiatic lily bulb in the spring, I might have a complete failure, or maybe a bit of foliage, but it would be another season or two for a bloom on any spring planted survivor. That has been my experience: YMMV. So arylkin - check around beginning mid September into early October. The big boxes, Lowes, Home Depot, Menards and the nurseries should have them - even feed & grain stores sometimes have big bins full of nice bulbs. |
Thanks duluthinbloom! That's what I was hoping for, so I'll keep an eye out. :) |

I'd be very skeptical about buying lily bulbs in September for fall planting. Unless it is a local grower, you can bet those bulbs were harvested late last fall and held over until this season. Lily foliage is seldom fully ripe by September and the bulbs are not yet ready for harvesting. Local lily growers (several of the largest mail order sources in the country) do not even begin shipping for fall until late October. And since lily bulbs are not benefitted at all by being held in cold storage for the better part of a year, I'd wait until you can get relatively fresh bulbs in spring. From the American Lily Society: There was a time when we were advised to plant lilies only in the fall. Many people believe that fall is still the best time to put in bulbs. However, with newly perfected storage methods, lily bulbs may be carried through the winter in excellent condition and arrive in the spring for planting as crisp and turgid as if freshly dug. It is also very difficult to receive adequately matured bulbs from commercial sources in time for fall planting in most areas. Plant as soon as the ground is workable in the spring, and in just a few weeks the fat "noses" of your lilies will come poking up. It won't be any time at all before your garden is full of fragrant lilies! |
Thanks for the tip! Is there any way to know if lily bulbs are fresh? I would like to plant some this fall, and I'm hoping to not have to order online. |

UHEA Statement on Common Core
UHEA Statement on Common Core
Common Core has the potential to nullify any substantive benefits of school choice. One of the basic goals of UHEA is "to encourage maintenance and improvement of our rights to educate our own children through support of good legislation, court decisions, and policies established by public school administrators, and to oppose any limitation to these same rights."
Because of the potential for Common Core implementation to limit the rights of parents and students, we encourage home school families to request their legislators enact legislation exempting home schoolers from data collection activities and compulsory high-stakes testing. Additionally, homeschoolers in Utah should push for Utah Colleges and Universities to use entrance exams that are not aligned to Common Core curricula.
UHEA Statement on Publicly-Funded Schooling Options
UHEA Statement on Publicly-Funded Schooling Options
UHEA Supports Education in the Home
The Utah Home Education Association supports families who choose to educate their children in the home. We do this by helping parents understand their lawful rights and provide instruction on the use of certain exemptions granted to those who file an affidavit with their school district declaring they will educate their children in a home school. Utah Code 53A-11-102
We recognize that there are many levels at which a family might choose to educate their children in the home and we support parents in choosing the option that is best for their families. Our mission states, "The Utah Home Education Association is established primarily to support the education of children in the home as a viable alternative to the existing public and private educational systems." One of UHEA's main goals is "to encourage maintenance and improvement of our rights to educate our own children through support of good legislation, court decisions, and policies established by public school administrators, and to oppose any limitation to these same rights."
Using Publicly-Funded Options Can Limit Your Rights
Because the exemptions granted by Utah State Law are limited to those parents that have signed and filed an affi-davit that their child(ren) will attend a home school, parents who choose an educational option involving virtual charter schools or other publicly-funded options utilized in the home are not technically educating their child(ren) in a home school and are not exempt from standardized tests, home or facility inspections, credentialing, maintaining records of instruction, or attendance requirements of the public school system. Utah Code 53A-11-102(2)(d).
Utilizing publicly-funded options restricts UHEA's ability to direct you to home schooling advice, advocacy, or legislative/legal support. UHEA does not and cannot provide legal counsel, support, or advice, al¬though we can refer to those who do.
Publicly-Funded Options Are Not Homeschooling
It must be understood that these options are not "homeschooling" in the qualitative or legal sense. By enrolling in a publicly-funded online charter school you must comply with the stipulations set forth in the charter and policies, procedures, and limitations set forth more broadly by state and local school boards. Once your student is registered with a publicly-funded school you no longer have the legal protections afforded by the exemptions granted to parents who educate their children in a home school. Utah Code 53A-11-102
Defining Homeschooling Publicly-Funded Options
Homeschooling is best defined as parent or guardian-led, family-funded, relationship-based education of a child at home. At UHEA we prefer the term "home education" because it more fully distinguishes from the publicly-funded school system and allows for a wider variety of educational experiences and methods.
Charter schools are publicly-funded schools that are granted a charter through a contract with the state. Virtual online schools have no "brick and mortar" presence and are instead conducted online. These are often called virtual or online charter schools. Virtual charter schools in particular have presented a schooling option that is easily confused with home schooling. Virtual online charter schools are competing with other publicly-funded schools for thousands of tax dollars paid in per student funds.
Parents Should Choose the Best Option for Their Family
UHEA believes that parents are best at choosing how to educate their children. Our mission states, "that it is the right of all parents to choose, according to individual need and desire, the most beneficial form of education for their children."
2014 Legislation
Current Legislation That Affects Home Educators
2014 Legislation
Utah Code Title 53A Chapter 11 Section 102
Senate Bill 39 created some positive changes for home school families. The new legislation removes curriculum and time requirements for home school students and when filing an affidavit with the child's school district, the parent assumes sole responsibility for the education of the school-age minor.
Another positive change for home school families is the removal of the requirement to file an affidavit (notice of intent to home school) with the local district every year. Once the school district has a notarized affidavit on file, this legislation provides for a yearly certificate of exemption from the district without the need to re-file, unless you move to a different district or your student discontinues home education to attend public school for a time and wants to home school again.
Lastly, the new law enables home school students to transition smoothly to public school, should they desire to attend full-time.

I have been looking for Jayne in Texas and have not found her as of yet. There are some things I would like to do with a lady on my arm.
I was just recently told why are you doing this? Meaning -- why do you bother at your age about finding a man? It's as though reaching the age of 60 is the legal age limit, and STOP participating in the game we call life. Also, I was recently reminded by a PA at a local clinic of having at least two more decades of life. Up until that point in time, I had never given it a second thought. Well, I left feeling worse than I did coming in.
I would like to know if others my age have experienced this as well.
Whoever said this to you was being unkind or displacing on you their feelings of dissatisfaction about their own life, perhaps. There is no age to fall in love and to marry. Some people marry very early in life because the right person comes along then. Others marry for the first time when they are in their early 80's! They find the right person for them, then. Not everyone has the same timing. It is whenever they feel ready and the right person comes along.
Hi Nilda!
Are you kidding? I'm 77 and am still interested in meeting a man my own age to share quality time with, and perhaps even to share the rest of my life with. I met my husband when I was in my sixties and he was in his seventies. Unfortunately, two months after we married, we found out that he had Leukemia and was told he would probably have only three more years to live. We treasured every day together, held hands, went to daily Mass, traveled, and even stretched those three years to five. I wouldn't have given up one day with this beautiful person. God bless and good luck to you.

Oregon Tilth Offers Organic Certification and Natural Resources Conservation Cross-Training Materials
Website provides instructional materials and educational resources to encourage locally adapted cross-training courses and align efforts of conservation and organic professionals working with private landowners.
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Sept. 13, 2010 – With grant funding support from the Western Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (WSARE) Professional Development Program, Oregon Tilth partnered with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and other regional partners to deliver training sessions and tools to an audience of organic and conservation professionals. The training materials for the cross training series are now available on Oregon Tilth's website at http://tilth.org/education-research/nrcs
"With this website, we've made available instructional materials and educational resources to align efforts of conservation and organic professionals as well as to encourage others to offer similar trainings," said Chris Schreiner, Oregon Tilth's Executive Director.
The project planning team developed training curricula that can be replicated in other regions for future training sessions. Materials developed include a multi-day training agenda, involving in-class presentations, group discussion activities, pre- and post-tests, and site-specific, inquiry-based field activities.
In 2009, the Organic Conservation Cross-Training Series was delivered to help in-the-field conservation planners and organic certification professionals correlate the requirements of organic certification with those of traditional conservation practices and Farm Bill programs. The Organic Conservation Cross-Training brought organic professionals and natural resource specialists together to:
• Learn how traditional conservation practices can benefit organic systems,
• Advance solutions that shape conservation practices to organic operations, and
• Increase the scope of conservation assistance available to organic producers.
Four sessions were held, two in Oregon and two in Washington. Each session focused on a different type of organic cropping system – dairy, grain, tree fruit and annual vegetable. Topics covered soil quality, nutrient management, wildlife habitat as well as insect, weed and disease management.
The training sessions were attended by a variety of professionals in natural resources and the organic industry from Oregon, Washington and Idaho, including:
• Organic certification professionals
• Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) conservation planners
• Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) planners & district managers
• Other government agency natural resource professionals
The training sessions received positive evaluation results from participants. The highest ranked components included group interactions and discussions, organic farm tours and field activities, organic producer panels and presentations by university faculty on the research and science underlying organic management practices. Over eighty percent of participants indicated they would definitely apply the new information and resources they learned at the training, and the remaining participants said they were likely to do so.
"The cross training series helped break down some barriers to cooperating and bridge the knowledge gap between organic and conservation professions," Schreiner said. "I hope others use the resources we're sharing on the website to build upon this important work."
About Oregon Tilth

Sarkisian: 'We Got To Bang That Door Open'
Every opportunity the program has had to seemingly take that proverbial "next step" has come and gone without being seized. Washington head coach Steve Sarkisian is tired of being "right there." This week the Huskies are preparing for a sturdy test against an explosive Oregon State offense which is ranked second in the FBS with an average of 396.3 passing yards per game behind quarterback Sean Mannion and stalwart wide receiver Brandin Cooks.
Two Prolific Passing Offenses Will Face Off Saturday In Martin Stadium
Last year, Oregon St. held WSU to 207 yards passing, intercepted four passes and won 19-6. The Beavers forced Halliday to the bench after he went 9-for-20 passing for 81 yards and three picks. Both teams have changed, of course, so it remains to be seen how much can be gathered from last year's contest.

Creegbrawse Holiday Barns(1)
Didn't find what you're looking for?
View all 183 Truro & Falmouth area Holiday cottages or all 2311 Cornwall Cottages
Creegbrawse is a hamlet in West Cornwall. Once a booming mining district, it is now a quiet rural area from which there is a small crossroads leading to St Day, Chacewater, Todpool and Twelveheads. Other towns and villages within five miles of Creegbrawse include Scorrier, Gwennap, Redruth, Carnbrea, Perranwell, Stithians, Illogan, Nancekuke, Tuckingmill, Pool, Camborne, St Agnes, Portreath and Kenwyn.
There are no hotels, guest houses or bed and breakfast (b&b) establishments in Creegbrawse, but there are some stunning holiday cottages. Visitors choose Creegbrawse because it is a beautiful rural location away from the madding crowd, yet only five miles from the coast and it makes a perfect base from which to explore Cornwall.
As a rule this area draws more mature couples or families who appreciate the peace and quite and love nature. It is perfect for those who want to experience natural Cornwall and have their own transport to get out and about when they want. Holiday cottages in Creegbrawse give you easy access to the south and north Cornish coasts and are only a few miles from the excellent shopping centre of the cathedral city of Truro.
Creegbrawse Cornish cottages have attractive views across the valley and are perfect to relax and unwind. A holiday cottage in this area is convenient to nip down the road (half a mile) to the village of Chacewater where there is a fish and chip shop, doctors surgery, post office, bakery, foodstore/newsagent, launderette, bakery and local pubs. Rural cottages in Creegbrawse are close to some of the best surfing beaches including Portreath, Porthtowan, St Agnes, Perranporth and Newquay.
The Royal Cornwall Museum in Truro is Cornwall's oldest and most esteemed museum and is well known for its global collections. Also in Truro is the Hall for Cornwall, which is the largest theatre in the county. It has a mix of musicals, gigs, plays, music shows, drama, children's shows and live theatre. Flea markets are held in the foyer once a week and they have a popular coffee shop and function room.
Cornwall's mild climate means there are many beautiful and sub tropical gardens with rare and unusual plants to visit including Bosvigo, Penjerrick Garden at Budock near Falmouth, Trebah Garden at Mawnan Smith, Lamorran House Gardens on the Roseland Peninsula, Trewithen House, Gardens and Nurseries at Grampound Road, Caerhays Castle Gardens and the Eden Project near St Austell. None of these are further than fifteen miles away from your country cottage in Creegbrawse.
Places to fish, golf, ride horses, try out extreme sports, walk are never far from your self catering cottage and there are castles to explore at Pendennis and St Mawes. Other interesting attractions include Newquay Zoo, the National Seal Sanctuary, Flambards, Future World at Goonhilly, the Chysauster Ancient Village and the Wayside Folk Museum.
The weather is mild throughout Cornwall but you will find that it is particularly well sheltered in this valley. Nearer the North coast, it will be slightly cooler.
Plymouth and Newquay airports serve Creegbrawse and they both have car hire facilities. The nearest mainline railway station is at Truro, just over five miles away and buses run from Truro to Chacewater.
