Then, it's on to a cotinuation of the discussion of vocal recording and processing methodoligies.
October 18, 2009Sine Language – episode 120July 9, 2009Recording interviews with field recordersIn the last 2 weeks, I've recorded several interviews at 2 different trade shows. Those interviews have ended up in episodes of both Shutters Inc and Sine Lanugage. First off, tempting though it may be, do not record to mp3! Secondly, your recorder SHOULD offer a choice of microphone gain sensitivities. Third, if your recorder of choice has a headphone output (I don't imagine there'd be any which do not, but you never know), then absolutely have some form of monitoring with you when you are recording. Now, because you are monitoring (via your earbud) what the microphone of the recorder is hearing, you are able to move the recorder around as necessary througout the interview to make sure the talent stays 'on mic'. OK, so now you're back at your desktop (or in your hotel room working on your laptop) and ready to edit and mix. February 22, 2009Sine Language – episode 106This week, Jay asked about the audio processing used in movie soundtracks, and why the music in movies sounds so much better than the official soundtrack CD.

I have been looking for a couple of wheels like that. I want to put them on top of a post and hang baskets around the rim. you could mount them that way and put string or netting from the ground up for a trellis- cukes- running beans and the like. pa |

Very nice and love that it's from your mother's garden. You could secure them between two fence posts. If the fence posts are set in quickcrete and the wheels secured with strong wire it wouldn't damage the wheels. There's a forum on GW called "garden junk" where some very nice experts in this stuff hang out. GW calls it "garden junk" but it's really cool stuff. They'd love to see that great looking wheel and give you additional advice too. |

(Updates with training, troop levels in last two paragraphs.)
Oct. 21 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama will announce that all U.S. troops will be out of Iraq by the end of the year, an administration official said.
Obama will make a statement at the White House following a video conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki in which they agreed this was the best course of action for the relationship between the two countries, according to the official who wasn't authorized to speak publicly.
The president is set to make his remarks about 12:45 p.m. Washington time.
The U.S. has been negotiating the terms of an agreement with the government of Iraq on keeping some U.S. forces there past the end of the year to help train Iraqi security forces. A sticking point has been U.S. insistence that its troops have immunity from prosecution in Iraqi courts.
The existing U.S. agreement with Iraq for keeping troops in the country expires at the end of this year. Units have been steadily pulling out of the country. There are about 41,000 troops in Iraq, down from a peak of about 170,000.

Whether you need insurance for yourself or for your family, Affordable Health Insurance can help you get educated and find the right plan for you. Start here today!
While many of Alaska's limited income residents are uninsured due to cost issues, almost 50% of the state's uninsured belong to the middle class or higher. But, just as residents of the state are beginning to acknowledge the importance of having health insurance, state insurance regulations for Alaska are slowly realizing this, as well.

Um, am I even allowed to talk about this? I'm not, right? There isn't much that is off limits in this world anymore, but I think the rules are that I'm not allowed to say anything really about Tyler Perry movies, and also probably this movie. That's OK! I'm not complaining. Trust me, there is PLENTY to talk about in this world without even brushing up against Tyler Perry movies. And who wants to go to Race Jail? Not me. (Grammar Jail on the other hand: total cake walk. I will take a bullet for Grammar Jail.) As far as this movie is concerned, it was directed by Paul Feig (creator of Freaks and Geeks) and produced by Judd Apatow (nemesis of Mark Brazill) and written by its star Kristen Wiig. Neat! Those are all great people. I'm not saying that if I was allowed to speak freely about this movie that I would say that it doesn't look funny. I wouldn't say that. It looks pretty farty I MEAN FUNNY. My point is just that there are too many talented people working on it, combined with the fact that it's a "new" brand of "feminine comedy"* (that looks an AWFUL LOT like a well-worn brand of bro comedy), so I'm pretty sure I'm just supposed to keep my mouth shut. GIRL POWER! JUDD APATOW POWERFUL! Hahaha. What do you guys want to talk about instead? How about this? American democratic ideals should change its Facebook status to "they're complicated"!
*See? I already messed up, because now someone is going to explain that we shouldn't have to divide everything into "feminine comedies" and "bro comedies" and how that is the whole point of this movie is that if it's "funny" then those kinds of distinctions shouldn't matter anymore, even if the subject matter might be a fucking bridesmaids party which is kind of a pretty pointed piece of subject matter and so maybe those distinctions kind of do still matter but it's not even that dramatic for them to still matter it's just a fact of varying degrees of interest, because there are things that large numbers (not all) of women are more interested in than men and vice versa, it's OK, we can embrace and celebrate those differences rather than worrying too much about them all the time. But then you kind of have to wonder why the movie that would maybe attempt to tear down those gender constructs has to do so by relying on jokes about farts and drugs and fucking and alcohol, which has been up until now the province of men? You could read it as saying "Hey, women find that stuff funny, too, it's not just Magnolia cupcakes over here, boys. It's time for us to take back the barf!" or you could read it as saying "The male dominated culture requires that for something to truly free itself from marginalization, the only thing it can do is accept, and reinforce the dominance of male culture to such an extent that it is actually still pretty fucking marginalized." Uh oh. SEE? I TOLD YOU I WASN'T SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT THIS MOVIE!

Solid Earth Geoscience Track
This track is for geophysics and geology students. The interests of the faculty in this group cover topics that include theoretical and observational seismology, fracture mechanics, melts and magma transport, petrology, surface pressures, paleomagnetism, crustal deformation, orogenesis, plate tectonic processes, computational physics and high pressure mineral physics. The curriculum recognizes the fact that modern geoscience is strongly rooted in physics and chemistry.
The General Exam (GE) requirements include:
[1] Submission of a GE paper reflecting the research done in the one or two years preceding the GE.
[2] Oral presentation of the material presented in [1], followed by an oral examination on the research completed, on the two declared areas of specialization, and on the student's proposal for his/her Ph.D. thesis.
[3] Demonstration of satisfactory academic progress by the successful completion of at least 8 courses.
Options for the required courses:
The aim of these requirements is to assure sufficient rigour, while leaving the student enough freedom to pursue his/her own interests. Reading courses may be designed to satisfy special needs.
The 8 courses must include GEO505/506 Fundamentals of the Geosciences and at least 2 graduate or upper level undergraduate math, chemistry, engineering, or physics courses.
Options for the areas of specialization:
The student has considerable freedom to choose his/her areas of specialization. Topics selected in the recent past include global seismology, lithospheric seismology, tectonophysics, fracture mechanics, inversion theory, structural geology, neotectonics, petrology, crystallography, mineralogy, mineral physics, mantle mineralogy, geodynamics, thermodynamics.
Background knowledge expected of incoming students:
The ideal incoming graduate student in the solid earth sciences will have had math through differential equations and vector calculus, and at least one course in physics or chemistry beyond the undergraduate college level of introductory physics and chemistry courses. Course work deficiencies should be remedied in the first year of course work after admittance to the program. When the incoming graduate student meets with his/her faculty advisory committee, the background in math and other sciences is appraised, and additional courses in math, physics, and/or chemistry may be advised.
At the time of the General Exam, foreign students are required to be fluent enough in the English language that discussions during the GE are in no way impeded by limitations in the student's ability to communicate in English

Title: Iron Guns, Blazing Hearts
Author: Heather Massey
Publication Info: Lyrical Press 2013
Genre: Science Fiction/Fantasy
Iron Guns, Blazing Hearts is a fun, pulpy steampunk western that has a simple goal and achieves it.
In her acknowledgements page, Heather Massey writes, "I wrote Iron Guns, Blazing Hearts with the goal of providing all the entertainment value I could muster".
I'm evaluating the book accordingly. Did it sweep me off my feet? Nope. Did I learn something about human relationships, or become a better person, or achieve an intellectual breakthrough? Nope again. But the book was a loving homage to a fun and almost forgotten form of fiction, and it was certainly entertaining, so I'd say it's a success.
Iron Guns is set in 1875, in the Wyoming Territory. Violet Whitcomb is the daughter of an inventor (and an inventor herself, although she credits her father as the real genius in the family). She longs for adventure and loves the serialized, pulp Westerns of the day. She meets a handsome stranger on a train ride who could have leapt from the pages of her favorite story (Destiny Rides Again, about the adventures of Henrietta Dearheart). When the train is attacked and her father is kidnapped, she must team up with the handsome stranger to rescue her father. She and the stranger, whose name is Logan, are accompanied by Violet's father's prize invention, an automaton named Arthur, as they ride into the wasteland of the nefarious Iron Scorpion.
The greatest strength of the book was its homage to the Western serialized pulp adventure style. Violet is a great genre heroine with just enough of a modern twist to keep from being hopelessly irritating. When she makes silly mistakes, they are exactly the sort of mistakes her idol, Miss Dearheart, would make, and when she triumphs, it is through the inspiration she gleans from Miss Dearheart's fictional adventures. Everyone acts in true dime novel character with the addition of loads and loads of steampunk to keep things fresh. The image of Arthur wielding a steam-powered gun while dressed in a poncho is certainly one worth contemplating.
Unfortunately, the book's greatest weakness also lies in its homage to pulp. While Logan and Violet are both sympathetic characters, especially Violet, neither of them seem any more real than Miss Dearheart. I never worried about them or felt invested in them. I enjoyed the book when I picked it up but had no problem setting it down again when I had something else to do. Logan and Violet were just too locked in their genre to seem like real people. Of course the world is full of genre characters, but someone like Kaylee from Firefly, for example, seems like a real person who just happens to live on a spaceship. Violet and Logan are more clearly creatures that can only exist in a pulp fiction story and so I enjoy their adventures but care less about their lives.
Whether or not you enjoy this book depends pretty much entirely on how you feel about Western dime novels. If you cannot tolerate a cranky, taciturn hero who does self-destructive, stupid things periodically, or a heroine who is too stupid to live in some sequences and brilliant in others, then you won't like this. Normally I would hate those characteristics, but they were traits that were true to the genre and traits that were made believable by the character's lives and motivations, so I could tolerate and even enjoy their oddities. And I thought that the bit where Violet is in the depths of despair and suddenly draws inspiration from Miss Dearheart's story was quite a rousing moment!
If you've never read Western pulp or steampunk, I don't think this book is a great place to start. But, if you are fond of either or both of those genres, I think you'll greatly enjoy Iron Guns. It promises a fun steampunk Western adventure romance and that's what it delivers, no more, no less. I look forward to the further adventures of Violet and Logan and hope Heather Massey will in fact deliver the next installment: Metal Man Desperado.

You may not have noticed it but a trade war with some of the United States' biggest export markets began Sunday. And it won't be very noticeable — at first.
The 25-nation European Union has imposed 15 percent tariffs on U.S. clothing, sweet corn, stationery and construction cranes. Canada has slapped similar 15 percent levies on cigarettes, hogs and seafood. Six other nations — Brazil, Chile, India, Japan, Mexico, South Korea — have the right to impose sanctions.
The World Trade Organization is allowing these countries to retaliate against American exports because the U.S. is violating international trade regulations through the Byrd Amendment. If a foreign company sells products here at below cost, the U.S. government can impose equalizing tariffs to protect domestic producers. Under the Byrd Amendment, a U.S. company that wins a dumping case gets to keep the tariff revenue.
Anti-dumping laws are a dubious economic proposition at best; if other nations want to sell us stuff at less than cost, let them. And giving tariff money to private companies instead of the Treasury is terrible tax policy.
But the government has shelled out $1 billion in the four years since the amendment became law, and it has its supporters in a Congress that seems growingly taken by protectionist measures.
The Bush administration, exporters and free traders would like to see the amendment repealed, and it should be. The United States sacrifices moral authority when it flouts international trade laws it expects other nations to obey. And even small trade wars eventually raise prices and cost jobs.

There I saw one I knew, and stopped him, crying "Stetson!

There have been several suggestions to the significance of the name Stetson. Stetson was the name of a co-worker at the bank at which Eliot worked. However, Eliot's friends saw this as a reference to Eliot's American friend, Ezra Pound.

You can tell I'm still new here - what's the big deal about walking around Walmart after someone gets their permit?

You can tell I'm still new here - what's the big deal about walking around Walmart after someone gets their permit?
It's a common, heavily visited public place most people (on this and other forums) find good grounds to visit when new to Concealed Carry. Most of them (me too many years ago) will find that no one notices or pays any attention to them specifically and you find it helps get you over your own feeling of self consciousness.
It's become kind of a "gauntlet / right of passage" tradition for the CC crowd.

LOL, I'm sorta new on this forum as well, but yet, I've often wondered the same thing. So much so, that I too did the Wal-Mart two-set simply to see. I discovered the cost of range grade ammo is markedly less expensive, and they generally have stock on hand. They also have a very limited selection of cleaning supplies which is like' half of what you would typically pay at your local gun shop...

I agree with ArmyCop. It isn't childish if it helps you get over being nervous or self conscience. Once you get licensed some where is has to be your first place to carry. Why not WW? People are just suggesting a place where it is easier to break in that "first carry" experience because WW is full of sheeple. I got my permit in the 90's before I ever heard of the WWW and can remember walking around town paranoid because of the "concealed" aspect of it all, I was so nervous that I might be printing and did not want to get noticed carrying. Besides, it is just a suggestion. Where a person's first carry is gonna be is completely up to that person.

We had a stabbing here in a local Walmart and a CCW holder killed the assailant and saved the victim. I would carry in Walmart for that reason alone.

So: I went to the zoo today. I thought it would be nice! I live in New York City! It is hard to see animals bigger than squirrels or lap dogs out here, so I imagined it would be very fulfilling and grounding, in some sort of hippie Earth Mother way, to actually see some of those and remind myself that I do not live on a planet entirely composed of Pinkberry outlets. But here's the thing: zoos, if you are not seven years old, are very depressing. There's nothing nice about captivity. Even if you wouldn't wish to see some of these animals out and wandering around in your neighborhood - even if they are dangerous or gross or otherwise undesirable - there's something deeply sad and wrong about seeing them stuck behind glass walls, with nothing to do, just waiting for someone to come by and look at them.
It was under these circumstances, then, that I began to think about Miley Cyrus deleting her Twitter.

Nasser Al-Mudhaf, KPC's managing director of International Marketing told the Kuwait News Agency (Kuna), that Kuwait plans to increase the volume of crude oil exports to China to 500,000 barrels a day (bpd) in three years. On Monday, Kuwait concluded a new 10-year deal with a China's Sinopec Corp to nearly double its supplies by offering to ship the oil and sell it on a more competitive cost-and-freight basis. "With new and mutual cooperation between the two parties, there is a good sign of increasing the volume of our crude oil exports to China up to 500,000 bpd in the next three years," he added. Under the deal signed this week, KPC will initially export 300,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil, which would amount to 15 per cent of Kuwaiti petroleum exports and estimated to be worth $120bn.

Jaquan Sims (Newton), Tierra Hodges (Alcovy) and Tierra Smith (Eastside) are the athletes of the week.
Arlana Barnes (Alcovy), D.J. Hill (Newton) and Raytavious Jackson (Eastside) headline this week's athletes of the week.
Up until Friday, Newton hadn't lost a region game all season. They traveled down the road to face region opponent and county rival Alcovy on Friday, and Friday night the Lady Tigers ended the Lady Rams' unbeaten region record.
The pick and roll is such an astoundingly simple play, yet it can be the foundation of a team's offense and it can be virtually impossible to stop. Under head coach David Baker, the Lady Tigers use the pick and roll to get their offense going almost exclusively. Still, teams have trouble stopping it.
The last time the Lady Rams and the Lady Tigers played, Newton won on a putback buzzer beater from Alexcia Chatman at home. This time Alcovy's girls didn't let the game come down to one final shot as they used the second half to run off to a 60-51 victory over Newton, giving Newton its first region loss of the season.
Ny'tauja Mckinnon, Keidra Sears and Raynesha Clay have been named Newton's, Alcovy's and Eastside's athletes of the week respectively.
Alcovy continued to cement its position as a threat to win the region with a dominant 55-36 win against neighboring county rival, Rockdale County.
Ever wonder what a football team composed of the best players and the best coaches of Newton County's three high schools would look like? Well, we're here to answer that question with the Newton County All-Area football team.
And just like that 2014 is almost over. It's been a big year in sports, especially in this electrifying second half of the year. We've done a year in review of spring sports in the summer, so now it's time we look at some of the best and biggest moments in Newton County sports for the second half of 2014. There were lots of games, signings...etc that could have been included but we only have so much room. Enjoy.
On Friday night, the Alcovy Tigers basketball team welcomed South Gwinnett to town. Going into the game, Alcovy was looking to get its first win of the season. Despite Alcovy playing with outstanding effort, once against they came up short, losing 64-54.
The athletes of the week for the week of December 8, 2014 are Alexcia Chatman (Newton) and Tierra Hodges (Alcovy). Check covnews.com for Eastside's athlete of the week after Monday. See caption below.
The Lady Tigers of Alcovy got their first win in region 2-AAAAAA this season on Friday evening. It wasn't an easy one by any means, as the Lady Wildcats of Lovejoy gave them all they could handle. But, Alcovy fought it out, and displayed some toughness with a 51-46 win over Lovejoy.
Each basketball team from around the county played tonight. Here are the scores for the games from tonight.
Madison Beazley and Autumn Evans signed full scholarships to play softball and attend Andrew College on Friday. The two had an enormous amount of support, as they continue their journey to college.
Page 1 of 1
With the softball season already underway, the Alcovy Tigers hope the same fortunes that favored them a year ago will once again show themselves in 2013.
Casey Bates has been a key figure in Alcovy baseball. Now he's moving to be closer to his daughter, Mallory, who is a fourth-grader in Woodstock.
Before participating in last week's NCAA National Tournament, Jameel Abdul-Mateen changed his season by getting a little more confidence in his game.
The most successful coach in Alcovy High history is moving on.
Darrius Baker's collegiate career ended in the perfect place.
Alcovy's Jameel Abdul-Mateen will be chasing elite-athlete status at the NCAA Outdoor Championshops in Eugene, Ore., starting today.
With only three tries, Jameel Abdul-Mateen faulted his first two long jump attempts at the NCAA East Preliminary Round Thursday.
Alcovy High School celebrated the signing of two student athletes Wednesday, both former Tigers' basketball players, and one a future collegiate hoopster and another a future collegiate softball player.
VALDOSTA - Cory Pope gave the Lowndes Vikings everything they needed in game one of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Alcovy Tigers.
VALDOSTA - Cory Pope gave the Lowndes Vikings everything they needed in game one of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Alcovy Tigers. Then in game two, Lowndes' offense came alive and provided plenty of support as the Vikings swept Alcovy 2-0 and 8-1 in the second round of the Class AAAAAA state playoffs at Noel George Field.
Alcovy baseball coach Casey Bates knew pitching would be key to his team's success in the Class AAAAAA playoffs, and the Tigers validated that claim in a two-game sweep of visiting Westlake Friday.
Alcovy boys' soccer had a bittersweet ending to its 2013 season Wednesday.
The Alcovy girls soccer team lost a heartbreaker in the opening round of the state playoffs, falling 1-1 (3-2) in penalty kicks to Douglas County Tuesday night.
Alcovy baseball finished the 2013 regular season with three straight wins, and it isn't finished yet.
The Alcovy boys' golf team is not only Region 2-AAAAAA champions, but it is also headed to the state tournament.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us."
– Marianne Williamson
The unfortunate story many people live their lives guided by is that the world is a painful, scary place. Walking around in a fear bubble that constricts their lives into a state of victimization and martyrdom they stay small because it feels comfortable.
Meanwhile life is passing them by.
My own story used to go something like this: I am never good at anything. Everything I obtain, or create will be taken from me, and I will always be a failure. Nothing good will ever come out of anything I do.
Does not paint a positive picture for the future right?
Michael Jordan said something that stuck with me during his Hall of Fame induction speech, "Limitations, like fears, are often just an illusion." It is so true.
Through behavioral conditioning, neurological synapses, emotional disharmony and chaos, addiction, codependency, and other psychological maladies many people have believed that their fears are actually real.
My purpose and commitment to my clients is to help them overcome the fictitious story of fear they have been living with their entire lives by creating a new story based in the peace and serenity of their present reality.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill Reenact Titanic Scene on Saturday Night Live

Jonah Hill is nominated for an Oscar for The Wolf of Wall Street but that doesn't mean he can get away with acting like a big shot. At least according to his costar, Leonardo DiCaprio.
Hill, who was hosting Saturday Night Live, acted a little bothered when several SNL cast members began asking him about the Wolf star during his opening monologue.
"What is it like working with Leonardo DiCaprio?" asked one. "What's Leo's hair like, is it like beautiful?" asked another.
Then Taran Killam, dressed as Hill's Moneyball costar Brad Pitt, asked, "What's DiCaprio like? I bet he's the best!"
Hill, 30, then explained that Leo wasn't even supposed to be in the movie with him. That's when DiCaprio, 39 walked onto the set. "I have a question," he asked. "What the hell are you doing, man?"
Leonardo DiCaprio's Beverly Hills Dinner Date with Gal Pal Toni Garrn

It's been quite the celebratory time of season for Leonardo DiCaprio, who clearly wanted to bask in the joys of success with his significant other.
The Academy Award-nominated Wolf of Wall Street star made his way to hotspot Hakkasan Beverly Hills with his gal pal Toni Garrn on Saturday night.
Clad in his classic look of a tailored jacket and messenger hat, the actor "was low-key and stayed out of the spotlight," an onlooker tells PEOPLE, adding that despite the low profile, it was easy to tell "he was smitten with Toni, as they sipped on the restaurant's Hakka cocktails and shared jasmine tea smoked pork short ribs and stir-fry mushroom lettuce wraps."

Throwback Thursday: Leonardo DiCaprio Received His First Oscar Nod 20 Years Ago
Originally posted 01/16/2014 11:00AM
Leonardo DiCaprio received his fourth Oscar nomination Thursday, for his portrayal of seedy stockbroker Jordan Belfort in Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street.
DiCaprio is no newcomer when it comes to the Academy Awards, though. Twenty years ago, he made his Oscar debut when he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his work in 1993's What's Eating Gilbert Grape?
DiCaprio starred alongside Johnny Depp in the drama, directed by Lasse Hallström. Depp played Gilbert, a teen tasked with keeping his family together as he cares for his morbidly obese mother and his developmentally disabled little brother Arnie (DiCaprio). His responsibilities become onerous when he meets Becky (Juliette Lewis) and sees a chance for love.
The film was DiCaprio's breakout role after his big-screen debut in Critters 3 and a role on beloved '80s sitcom Growing Pains. Even though he was only 19 years old, his portrayal of Arnie was sensitive, complex and full of depth, belying his age, so there was no surprise when he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for the part.
Margot Robbie: Kissing Leonardo DiCaprio for 17 Hours Isn't as Fun as It Seems

Margot Robbie has arrived.
The Australian newcomer made her big awards show debut at Sunday's Golden Globes and sparked a flashbulb frenzy in her showstopping, silk Gucci gown. Not only has she mastered the red carpet, but she's heating up the big screen with Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street – and earning rave reviews.
Robbie, who starred on the short lived ABC television series Pan Am talks to PEOPLE about sharing kisses with Leo, dealing with her nude scenes and her obsession with ice hockey.
"I'm still pinching myself," Robbie, 23, says about playing DiCaprio's feisty wife in her first major film role. "I'm extremely honored to be a part of this film. To work with Leo was unbelievable. He has always been my favorite actor and he became this wonderful big brother. He took me under his wing and always looked out for me, which is really nice."

As expected, there were major showings for the movies 12 Years a Slave, which led Wednesday's Screen Actors Guild nominations, and American Hustle, already winner of the New York Film Critics Circle Award for best film.
Those two films received seven nominations each, including those for 12 Years's Chiwetel Ejiofor and Hustle's supporting actors Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper.
Completely shut out, to the surprise of many, were SAG nominees Oprah Winfrey and Forest Whitaker – in fact, everything and everybody with anything to do with Lee Daniels' The Butler.

It's getting close to the end, but I finally found what I hope is the perfect gift for my swap partner. If you haven't gotten your package yet, keep watch, one is on its way.

Follow-Up Postings:
I know you aren`t the last. I haven`t shipped yet either. In fact our Canadian Postal Service is on strike. The government is threatening to legislate them back to work. But it might be next week before I get to mail my box. Ann |
- Posted by publickman (My Page) on Wed, Jun 22, 11 at 23:20
I shipped today also, and so maybe our packages will be delivered at the same time. My package is far from perfect this time, and so I'm hoping my partner will have a good sense of humor, if nothing else! Lars |
I've been away so my parcel will be posted on Monday. So, if you haven't got yours yet, don't despair, it's coming! :-) |
I got mine mailed last Friday, and I'm hoping it gets there in one piece, without too much delay, and my swap partner enjoys it! Oh, the stress!! I struggled to stay within the "three" guideline and it feels very unsubstantial!! :-) I finally gave up on the "wow" factor, the "perfect" gift and went for something regional (that doesn't give much away!!) and a bit of summer that I thought was low risk for breakage (no bean pots this swap). As Colleen says, if you haven't gotten yours yet don't despair! (mine is in the crowd at the end!) |
I'm glad I'm in such good company! Good thing you give us plenty of time for these swaps, Ann. |

My gifts are purchased, just need to find the time to box everything up and mail it out. I will ship by the deadline, I promise! LOL! Teresa |
My box is ready - am in process of writing note...then it will go tomorrow morning.... -maria |
I'm actually glad that our postal service is on strike. Since I still had a little time I decided on a third item and it is being made for my partner by one of our local textile/weaving artists. I might have to ship via UPS if our postal service isn't back to work next week. Ann |
- Posted by publickman (My Page) on Sat, Jun 25, 11 at 17:25
Mine got delivered this morning (according to USPS), and I'm glad because it contained semi-perishables! I'll check back tomorrow to make sure it arrived okay, but really nothing was breakable. Ann, I remember threats of liquor strikes in Canada when I was visiting Vancouver, but everyone bought out all the inventory in the liquor stores in fear of the strike, and then the strike got called off! I think I remember postal strikes also. I was in New Orleans during Mardi Gras for a police strike, and that was pretty dramatic. Lars |
Mine hasn't been mailed either. I could be last. Maybe. We'll see. Deanna |
Mine went a couple of days ago, sent airmail so it shouldn't be long! Now all you who haven't got your parcel yet will be wondering ;-) |
I have my box ready to mail but I'm going to hold off mailing until either Monday or Tuesday next week. Our striking Canadian Postal workers are now back to work but they are slow in getting caught up. I don't want my box caught in the backlog. Ann |
- Posted by coconut-nj (My Page) on Thu, Jun 30, 11 at 2:22
Wellll.. mine went almost 3 weeks ago... but my partner finally got it.. LOL.. phew! My post office lied. It went airmail too for all the good it does. Grins. I'm just glad it arrived in good shape and was liked. |
I'm going today to the post office! A |
Mine is packed up and ready to go! Maybe today I can get it to FedX... |
OK... the package is heading east! If you live east of me and haven't yet received your swap package... maybe as early as Saturday?! Ann |
My box went out yesterday! Yay! I beat the deadline!!!!! |
Canada Post tracking number shows that my box has been in destination country since Wednesday. I'm hoping that means it will be delivered between now and Saturday. Fingers crossed. Ann |
My package should arrive at it's destination TODAY!!! |

1 "Cry loudly, do not hold back; Raise your voice like a trumpet, And declare to My people their transgression And to the house of Jacob their sins. | 1 "Shout it aloud, do not hold back. Raise your voice like a trumpet. Declare to my people their rebellion and to the house of Jacob their sins. |
2 "Yet they seek Me day by day and delight to know My ways, As a nation that has done righteousness And has not forsaken the ordinance of their God. They ask Me for just decisions, They delight in the nearness of God. | 2 For day after day they seek me out; they seem eager to know my ways, as if they were a nation that does what is right and has not forsaken the commands of its God. They ask me for just decisions and seem eager for God to come near them. |
3 'Why have we fasted and You do not see? Why have we humbled ourselves and You do not notice?' Behold, on the day of your fast you find your desire, And drive hard all your workers. | 3 'Why have we fasted,' they say, 'and you have not seen it? Why have we humbled ourselves, and you have not noticed?' "Yet on the day of your fasting, you do as you please and exploit all your workers. |
4 "Behold, you fast for contention and strife and to strike with a wicked fist. You do not fast like you do today to make your voice heard on high. | 4 Your fasting ends in quarreling and strife, and in striking each other with wicked fists. You cannot fast as you do today and expect your voice to be heard on high. |
5 "Is it a fast like this which I choose, a day for a man to humble himself? Is it for bowing one's head like a reed And for spreading out sackcloth and ashes as a bed? Will you call this a fast, even an acceptable day to the LORD ? | 5 Is this the kind of fast I have chosen, only a day for a man to humble himself ? Is it only for bowing one's head like a reed and for lying on sackcloth and ashes? Is that what you call a fast, a day acceptable to the LORD? |
6 "Is this not the fast which I choose, To loosen the bonds of wickedness, To undo the bands of the yoke, And to let the oppressed go free And break every yoke? | 6 "Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? |
7 "Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry And bring the homeless poor into the house; When you see the naked, to cover him; And not to hide yourself from your own flesh? | 7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter-- when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? |
8 "Then your light will break out like the dawn, And your recovery will speedily spring forth; And your righteousness will go before you; The glory of the LORD will be your rear guard. | 8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard. |
9 "Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; You will cry, and He will say, 'Here I am.' If you remove the yoke from your midst, The pointing of the finger and speaking wickedness, | 9 Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I. "If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, |
10 And if you give yourself to the hungry And satisfy the desire of the afflicted, Then your light will rise in darkness And your gloom will become like midday. | 10 and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. |
11 "And the LORD will continually guide you, And satisfy your desire in scorched places, And give strength to your bones; And you will be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water whose waters do not fail. | 11 The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. |
12 "Those from among you will rebuild the ancient ruins; You will raise up the age-old foundations; And you will be called the repairer of the breach, The restorer of the streets in which to dwell. | 12 Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings. |
13 "If because of the sabbath, you turn your foot From doing your own pleasure on My holy day, And call the sabbath a delight, the holy day of the LORD honorable, And honor it, desisting from your own ways, From seeking your own pleasure And speaking your own word, | 13 "If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath and from doing as you please on my holy day, if you call the Sabbath a delight and the LORD's holy day honorable, and if you honor it by not going your own way and not doing as you please or speaking idle words, |
14 Then you will take delight in the LORD , And I will make you ride on the heights of the earth; And I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father, For the mouth of the LORD has spoken." | 14 then you will find your joy in the LORD, and I will cause you to ride on the heights of the land and to feast on the inheritance of your father Jacob." The mouth of the LORD has spoken. |

Well we've never been described as "shabby chic" before! We think this is a very fair review. We do have plans to install a second bathroom in the future and for this reason always email each guest before they confirm to advise that there is only the one downstairs bathroom. Please see our own website for many other customer reviews.

Contributed by Sam Allen of London-based Studio Output.
Nest.co.uk were so happy with our direction and design of their 10th anniversary brochure, they asked us to build upon the work and refresh their brand identity. As a primarily online retailer, the focus was on bringing consistency — guiding smooth, accessible journeys for customers through their browsing and shopping experiences.
Following the editorial look and feel of the brochure, we developed a new visual system and set of assets that allowed the brand to communicate with a friendly, yet authoritative, tone of voice. We looked into key elements to aid this process — from structuring content into informative and interesting articles, use of photography, typography, colour, messaging, calls to action devices, badging, educational elements and brand imagery.
This system was then tested and applied across all their digital communications, from existing website, weekly HTML newsletters, digital advertising, Facebook and Twitter accounts. The work is gradually being implemented at Nest.co.uk.
The overall look and feel of the 10th anniversary publication (above) uses both bold and contemporary typefaces, mirroring the confident approach of the brand and their products. Clever use of pull quotes, mini-facts and points of interest give the small team individual personalities, as well as keeping the read light and entertaining. The format and uncoated stock ensure a tactile feel and longevity to the publication, progressing from a throwaway insert to a keepsake coffee table read.

Just the one lonesome comment about "Nest"
Solid, effective design – I particularly like the green and white line drawing and its use in the sale section, and the colour of the banners (in the email?) matching the colour of the products on show. The type combination works brilliantly, particularly with the tight leading in both. Great!
