How Lead Mining Could Make A Comeback In The UK
However, lower-cost competition from new discoveries outside the country, including in the US, Spain and Germany, eventually led to the decline of lead mining in Britain. By the dawn of the 20th century, few operating mines remained, though some held on until the 1930s, helped by increased demand during World War I.
New drilling program should yield results soon
"The historically mined lead in the [North Pennines] was all near the surface," said McKillen in a January 8 phone interview. "That's mainly because the old-timers weren't able to go to greater depths. We're going below the Great Limestone formation, or about 400 meters deeper than the previous mines. The theory is that if there was mineralization above the Great Limestone, then there is a strong possibility of mineralization below it as well."
McKillen said that Minco should know fairly soon whether that assumption holds true; he expects the first assay results from the current program toward the end of the first quarter of 2013, with the second phase of drilling running into the summer. But expectations are high.
"We think the potential is there for a world-class deposit," said McKillen. "Of course, we would have to delineate it, but there would be lots of options for development. For example, you could use an old mine as an access point, with the actual operation being 5 kilometers away. That wouldn't have an impact on the surrounding countryside." One challenge that Minco has faced is the fact that mineral rights are privately owned in the UK. That has forced it to deal with numerous landowners in order to conduct exploration activities. In the North Pennines, the company had a slightly easier time because the target area mainly consists of larger estates, which meant there were fewer owners to deal with. Minco sees big potential for UK lead mining — but challenges remain On the whole, McKillen is bullish on the prospects for a lead-mining revival in the UK, but he acknowledges the challenges. "Many people have backed away from exploration in Britain because of the mineral-ownership laws," he said. "It makes it impossible to put together the tracts of land required for a modern exploration effort. The country's expanding population also makes locating projects more difficult."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Jute; second only to cotton as the most widely used natural fiber.
Sustainable reinforcement for concrete has newly discovered benefits
By American Chemical Society Subhasish B Majumder, Ph.D., or Prof. Basudam Adhikari January 16, 2013Comments| Print friendly | Subscribe | Email Us |
Fashionable people may turn up their noses at jute — the cheap fiber used to make burlap, gunny sacks, twine and other common products — but new research is enhancing jute's appeal as an inexpensive, sustainable reinforcement for mortar and concrete. The study appears in ACS' journal Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research.
Subhasish B Majumder and colleagues note that there has been a resurgence of interest in using economical, sustainable natural fibers, rather than steel or synthetic fibers, to reinforce the cement compositions used to make concrete and mortar, the world's most widely used building materials. That reinforcement makes cement compositions stronger and more resistant to cracks. Their previous research showed that jute works as a reinforcement fiber.
The new study discovered another advantage of jute, which is second only to cotton as the most widely used natural fiber. The addition of jute fibers also delays the hardening of concrete and mortar, which must be trucked to construction sites. "The prolonged setting of these fiber-reinforced cement composites would be beneficial for applications where the pre-mixed cement aggregates are required to be transported from a distant place to construction site," the report states.
The authors acknowledge funding from the National Jute Board of India and CSIR India.

Fall Fairs
Fall is the time to celebrate the bounty of the season and many of the activities occurring reflect the history of the area. Scattered throughout the Parry Sound area are villages and towns that hold fall fairs that offer the opportunity to see animals, purchase local crafts and goods and partake of local entertainment.
Fall Colours
Ontario's hardwood trees are ablaze with colours, and Parry Sound offers many great ways to experience them - during the drive up (with maybe a little detour to stroll down a lane way or two along the way), on a 3 hour cruise on the Island Queen, from the air with Georgian Bay Airways and finally, with a panoramic view from the Observation Tower. Of course, the views from the enclosed sun porches at 40 Bay Street Bed & Breakfast are spectacular too! Parry Sound is a shutterbugs delight at any time of the year, but when you couple our famous Georgian Bay sunsets with the fantastic fall colours, you have a combination that can't be beat!
Parry Sound Snowmobile District member clubs operate a trail network of over 1,100 kilometers containing both a mix of looping or family trails along with several Trans Ontario Provincial (TOP) Trails. Trails in the Parry Sound Snowmobile District span from the Moon River in the South to the Key River in the North and from Georgian Bay in the East to Hwy 11 in the West. Snowmobile rentals are available.
Georgian Nordic Ski Club is just a 10-minute drive from 40 Bay Street Bed & Breakfast. With 25 km of trails winding through lush forest, Georgian Nordic offers great cross country skiing for the novice through to the expert. The Club offers performance (combined classic and skate), back country and single-track trails plus snowshoe trails. Skis, boots and poles are available for rental at the clubhouse.
Winter Hiking and Camping
White Squall offers a winter program made for nature lovers of all ages and capabilities. Every Sunday starting in November there is the opportunity for either full or half day, guided hikes – either by snowshoe or foot, depending on the weather. All you need to pack are warm clothes, snacks and a camera. If you are up for even more of a challenge, try out some of their winter camping programs. Learn how to camp, cook and travel during the winter months.
They also offer winter equipment rentals of kick-sleds and snowshoes, as well as any other cold-weather gear you might need.
Downtown Parry Sound features a number of small boutiques featuring Canadiana crafts and souvenirs, as well as men and ladies' clothing, home decor and books. Throughout the year, special events are held - in 2013 there will be a muskoka chair auction, sidewalk sales and midnight madness sales.
Every Tuesday morning in the summer, the Parry Sound Summer Market offers patrons the opportunity to purchase smoked meats and fish, local maple syrup, fresh fruits and vegetables and local artisan arts and crafts such as jewelry, stained glass, pottery, hand-made furniture, baked goods, preserves and much more. The market is held at Market Square Park in downtown Parry Sound.
Historical Haunted Walking Tour
Learn some of Parry Sound's less savoury history with a guided tour by Terry Boyle, author and host of CTV's "Creepy Canada" Learn about the rough justice that ruled the earlier days of the area and hear the stories of the ghosts and see the orbs that appear in various locations.
This Artist Collective runs several galleries around the Parry Sound area – both in their studios, in the Spirit Gallery at Lakeland Long Term Care, and at the Museum on Tower Hill. Mediums range from watercolours and acrylics to stained glass and sculpture. You are always encouraged to come and browse – and if you are lucky, speak to a local artist or two about their work and local inspiration.
Rainy day?
Not to worry! The Twin Strand Movie Theatres offer the latest releases, while Georgian Lanes offers a fun and inexpensive way to exercise and pass the time with 5-pin bowling. You can rent the special shoes, and everything else required is provided in the lane rental costs.
The Park-to-Park Trail was developed to connect Killbear Provincial Park with Algonquin Provincial Park through utilizing existing multi-use trails in the area.
Two of the most popular trails in the Parry Sound area are: the Rose Point and the Seguin Recreational Trail.
The Rose Point Trail is 6 kms long and runs from James Bay Junction Road South to Rose Point Road. Trekking along the Boyne River, you might see deer, bear, or moose, and one of the ponds on the trail is actually home to an endangered species of minnow.
The Seguin Trail which begins at the Tim Horton's (10 minutes south of Parry Sound) and extends 75 km eastward. The trail is available for walking and biking, with designated areas for motorized recreational vehicles in the summer and fall.
Algonquin Regiment Rotary Fitness Trail
A former railway bed, this trail walks you along the picturesque Parry Sound shores and allows one to enjoy Georgian Bay in its natural splendour.
From end to end, it measures 5 km. At the northern end, you can pick up the "Rugged Hiking Trail" which takes you along the shores of Georgian Bay for another 2.5 km. This trail is suitable for strollers, wheelchairs and motorized scooters; it is well lit and has many seating areas along the path.
Parry Sound offers cyclists of all levels a series of paved roads with limited traffics and wide shoulders for safe riding. Parry Sound is also home to the Pedaling for Parkinson's annual ride to raise funds for research into this disease. Suggested routes include portions of the old Highway 69 to the north and south of Parry Sound, The Bunny Trail and Carling Bay Road. For those cyclists looking for more of a challenge, check out the routes used by Pedaling for Parkinson's riders.
There are a number of provincial parks in the area – The Massassauga Provincial Park, which is a water access only park, Oastler Lake Provincial Park and the most popular - Killbear Provincial Park. Killbear offers an interpretive centre with exhibits, displays and educational events related to the natural, wildlife and cultural resources of the area. Access to the sand beaches, trails and special events are all included in the cost of a day pass.
Canada Day Festivities
The Town of Parry Sound celebrates Canada's birthday every July 1st. A variety of events, entertainers and vendors provide activities for the whole family. The finale is the musical Canada Day Cruise by the Festival of the Sound and a fireworks display that takes place at dusk.
West Parry Sound District Museum
The modern facility retraces the history of the Parry Sound Area with displays on logging, shipping and life as it was in a small northern town. The Museum also features exhibits of lumbering, homesteading and ghostly shipwrecks as well as displays of local art work. The Museum on Tower Hill offers picnic gardens, a lookout tower, a panoramic view of Georgian Bay and a wonderful location for taking photographs.
Observation Tower
Located next the museum on Tower Hill, this former fire tower is 96-feet tall. It is an easy climb up the 131 steps to reach the top. The view over the town and Georgian Bay is breathtaking and well worth the climb – any time of year.
Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts
The Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts is located on a 3.5-acre waterfront site in the heart of Parry Sound, overlooking beautiful Georgian Bay. It houses a 480-seat Festival Performance Hall and the Bobby Orr Hall of Fame. Performances of all genres are presented in the Performance Hall during the year including music of all types (pop, rock, folk, blues, jazz, country, chamber, classical and world music), theatre, contemporary dance, comedy, literary readings, performances for children, and community events.
Bobby Orr is a former, professional ice hockey player who is acknowledged as one of the best players of the game. Located in his hometown, The Bobby Orr Hall of Fame is an interactive hockey museum with a wide variety of photos, memorabilia and artifacts about Bobby Orr. Exhibits include Orr's NHL rings, a number of his trophies and awards, some of the jerseys he played in, a pictorial history of his career and a number of interactive games and activities related to hockey. The Bobby Orr Hall of Fame also hosts exhibits about other exceptional athletes with ties to Parry Sound.
The Gift Shop is located in the Lobby and features a unique line of souvenirs from both the Bobby Orr Hall of Fame and the Festival Performance Hall.
For almost four weeks each summer beginning in mid-July, Parry Sound comes to life with the music and special events of the Festival of the Sound established in 1979. Winner of the Lieutenant Governor's Award for the Arts, the Festival of the Sound is one of Canada's most exciting and creative summer music festivals. As well as hearing several daily and evening concerts featuring Canada's finest classical musicians, Festival-goers can choose from sunset cruises on the Island Queen, free family concerts and special events. Each season brings something new, with the opportunity to mix and mingle with the musicians on a personal level.
This annual event features almost 100 local and Canadian artisans. It offers the opportunity to meet the creators in person as they present their handcrafted products. From clothing to jewelry, wooden creations to paintings, and everything in between, you will find it during this annual event.
G'zaagin means "I love you" in the Ojibway language (the language spoken by the local First Nations People). The goal of the G'zaagin Art Gallery is to heighten public awareness about Native art and provide a venue for everyone to witness the insights, skills, and creativity of Native artists. Whether you explore the art with a visit to their store just up the street from 40 Bay Street, sign-up for one of their workshops or check out what's for sale on-line, you are certain to learn about Parry Sound's Native peoples.
First Nations Pow-Wows
Pow-wows are events that bring together peoples from a specific tribe or nation to renew thoughts of the old ways and preserve a rich heritage. Celebrations involve singing, dancing and drumming. In this area, there are two pow-wows that invite the public to attend – Wasauksing and Shawanaga. Grand entrances are typically at noon and are the highlight of each Pow-wow.
Georgian Bay Biosphere Reserve is one of only 16 UNESCO sites in Canada.
Biosphere Reserves are internationally recognized areas where communities work together to provide healthy environments, economies, societies and culture within that area. The eastern coast of Georgian Bay where Parry Sound is located is known as the "30,000 Islands" and is considered the world's largest freshwater archipelago and received it's designation from UNESCO in 2004.
It covers 347,000 hectares of shoreline ecosystem, and over 100 species of animals and plants that are at risk in Canada and Ontario, including unique reptiles and amphibians.
Through educational tools, presentations and hands-on workshops, residents in the Georgian Bay Biosphere are educated to help protect the species at risk, including the western chorus frog, several varieties of turtles, snakes like the Massassagua Rattlesnake, Monarch butterfly, lampreys, the Eastern Wolf, and 15 types of birds; protect our wetlands and water and encourage the growth of local native plants.
The best way to understand the Georgian Bay Biosphere Reserve is to get out and experience it – whether on the water, hiking the parks and trails or participating in the many activities and events that take place throughout the year.

Postdoctoral Researcher
Global potential and best practices for sustainable offshore aquaculture
NCEAS is seeking a post-doc as part of a recently funded SNAP project addressing sustainable production and best practices in global offshore aquaculture. SNAP (Science for Nature and People) is a collaborative venture of The Nature Conservancy (TNC), the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), and the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) to create a fundamentally different way to identify and tackle large-scale ecological challenges that threaten the integrity of nature and human well-being.
The post-doctoral researcher will be based at NCEAS in Santa Barbara, CA and will lead or be centrally involved in: 1) a review of high-value aquaculture (e.g. shrimp, salmon) and related key offshore species (e.g., cobia) to determine best practices and assess the role of certification in sustainability; 2) identifying and mapping globally areas with the greatest potential for 'smart aquaculture'; 3) working with 2-3 case study locations to test best practices and enabling conditions with a focus on innovative offshore operations; 4) developing and testing different future scenarios for aquaculture growth with preliminary action plans for key geographies, and 5) full participation in the SNAP Working Group (see website for group membership). This full time position offers competitive salary and benefits commensurate with experience. The initial appointment is for 1 year with the high probability of an additional year. The successful candidate will be directly mentored by Ben Halpern and integrated with his research lab and work closely with Dietmar Grimm, Managing Director for Conservation Strategy at TNC.

DAY BY DAY: Mistakes at home and on the world stage are hard lessons
Despite what some may have us believe, mistakes are a part of life for all of us, even the all-knowing bloggers of this world. I know this only too well. I've had my share of gaffes over the last 20-some years with the Star-Observer. I have always tried to take responsibility for them, it always smacks to do it in front of 6,000 readers. But as my older sister says, "it's a personal growth opportunity" and who can't use those from time to time.

PHOENIX -- The educational process of this NBA preseason includes Tuesday's crucial lesson involving the Suns and Oklahoma City Thunder.
At the end of a less-than-artful 88-76 demonstration, we now know the Suns are better without Goran Dragic than OKC is without Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook and a couple of other guys.
But the Suns' entire season is expected to generate interesting storylines that go beyond the predicted totals of wins and losses.
One compelling issue to follow is the development of Phoenix's younger guns. And nobody -- on the roster or the league -- is as young as rookie guard Archie Goodwin.
Tucked inside this brush with the mighty Thunder, we witnessed the former Kentucky Wildcat producing 11 points during the fourth quarter.
Goodwin's salvo included four baskets at or above the rim. These included a two-handed follow slam over OKC defenders and 6-foot-11 teammate Miles Plumlee. The 6-5 Goodwin also demonstrated enough burst to blow past OKC guard Je...

Recessed porch lighting - X-post
We're redoing our porch ceiling (vinyl beadboard was run the length of the porch in 12ft sections just nailed to joist 16" OC so it sags). We're putting plywood up on the joists (hate to lower it 1/2" but carpenter says it's faster, easier, cheaper than blocking) and then reinstalling the vinyl cut to run front to back instead of side to side. While we're at it, I wanted to add recessed lighting. I got a contractor 6-pack, rated for damp locations. We have 48ft to cover, but the middle 8 ft is where the stairs/door/coach lights are, so I'm thinking 3 recessed lights to the left and 3 to the right, over the seating areas, none in the middle? The joists are 16" on center, so should be 36 of them though they may not be centered on the front door, but they should fall roughly 6ft 8in apart, and they are 6" cans. So about 6-7ft apart, depending on where the joists are (centered say at 7'1", 13'7", 20'3" from garage, then about a 6'10" gap, then start again on other side of the front door).
Maybe not the best pic, but shows the whole porch
I was thinking since it's 6ft 3in to the inside edge of the columns, we should put the lights about 3ft from the wall so centered (give or take 1.5") b/t the columns and the house? Or should we move them out toward the front edge a little more? How much? And finally, separate switch or can we tie them into the coach lights (easier)? Dh thinks there might be times when we'd want to turn on the coach light only, but I don't know if it's worth the hassle of fishing wire through insulation and rewiring a switch (I'd steal the one for the garage coach lights since we never turn on the garage lights from the front door, I want to put a switch in the mudroom for the garage lights, but it would be easier not to have to get the new lights run to the inside switch, just tie them into one of the exterior lights).
I have 12/2 Romex (and also 14/2 somewhere if I can find where DH put it). Says for interior use. That's what electrician put in our (full-soffited, uninsulated) garage, so would that be OK to use in the porch ceiling?
Actually, someone on Home Dec brought this up and I rethought it. If we're putting up plywood backing anyway, why can't we just reinstall the vinyl running the same way it is now so no cutting no waste? All the neighbors (smaller porches) have it running the short way, but is there really a "right" way and a "wrong" way to run the grooves as long as it's supported and not wavy?
How funny. I could have written this. Same screw up except my vinyl bead runs as you described but on 24 inch centers over 1000 sq ft of a full wrap around porch. Unfortunately I have a rule that nothing gets redone before I complete some yet executed phases like the screen porch, finished basement, etc etc. so I am stuck looking at it for now and explaining it to everyone who comes to see the house.
You will want to rehang the short way. By going the long way you can't allow for the vinyl thermal expansion and contraction which contributes to your (& my!) sag. It gets very hot between you dark shingles and that porch ceiling. You may want to consider nailing up a radiant barrier before the plywood goes up and adding some venting. Or consider since you're nailing up plywood just get the painted beadboard plywood and be done with the vinyl. You can skip the venting in that case.
As to the recessed lights, I have them as well (wired with romex which will be fine as it is protected under the roof) I centered mine between my posts which are about 8 feet apart. The result is nice "pools of light" at night. I would suggest you include the one in the center and then use lower wattage bulbs in the coach light as accents. That's what I did.
Thanks klabio - OMG I can't imagine a full wrap porch done like this. Would have helped if builder had actually nailed in flanges every 16" but he just snapped them together and face-nailed every 10-12ft!
We have to see if we can get more, not sure how short we'll be turning it 90 degrees. Have gable vent on end. Don't want to have to paint (well, have to paint door trim) that's why everything is vinyl so no painted V-groove. I looked at Homer's yesterday and nothing outdoor rated and rigid.
DH and I stood out there tonight and decided 5 cans, centered b/t columns (app. 9.5 ft) incl one in front of door, separate from coach lights, and on dimmer. Just trimmed out skirt and it looks better (finished!) already.

A Single Shot (2013)
Critics Consensus: It has a bleak sense of atmosphere and a terrific performance by Sam Rockwell, but A Single Shot is undercut by its predictable story and slow pace.

In a desperate panic, he takes the cash - hiring a low-rent lawyer (William H. Macy, FARGO) to fight his wife's (Kelly Reilly, FLIGHT) divorce suit - and attempts to cover up the killing.

All Critics (42) | Top Critics (17) | Fresh (21) | Rotten (21) | DVD (2)
A Single Shot is a confusing, overcomplicated little thriller.
A fascinating lead character can't overcome the familiarity of this atmospheric low-budget thriller.
The movie's general weariness - nothing happy happens here - transitions from tasteful to overbearing.
Lands somewhere between a good novel and a deadly country song, all with the power to take hold and refuse to leave you be.
A Single Shot assembles an outstanding, mostly under-appreciated, cast and with them crafts a tense, disquieting gothic fable led by the always preeminent Sam Rockwell.
A Single Shot does not add up to anywhere near the sum of its parts, and as individually impressive as any of those parts might be (Rockwell), we are left with a film that, if not quite a Frankenstein's monster, is certainly patchworky.
When the plot kicks in, and people actually start talking to each other, the film loses most of its momentum, but it still has enough sections of terse, pointed physicality that the overriding sensation of brute, blunt force rarely lets up.
Hillbilly noir, great cast, dueling beards.
It's Rockwell - and Rockwell alone - who makes "A Single Shot" count.
An odd mix of beautifully bleak atmosphere and hammily mannered performances, "A Single Shot" is simultaneously understated and overpowering.
Both predictable and outlandish.
It's a small story, but it's tied into the part of America that's been affected by larger financial instability, the corruption of drugs, and the lack of education and opportunity.
"A Single Shot" is a singular pleasure, and worth seeking out.
I'd go as far as to rank A Single Shot among Sam Rockwell's Top 10 performances.
The plot is predictable, but it takes almost two hours to tell because everyone has to chop their way through so much atmosphere.
None of these characters, no matter how trashed-up for the down-market occasion, are believable.
Sam Rockwell is one of Hollywood's most underrated actors and he shows why that's the case again in A Single Shot, a rural, neo-noir thriller that slowly pulls the viewer under its veil of mystery.
The back story disappoints less for its convoluted nature than for its failure to create a convincing set of motivations for its characters.
There at the center of the film is Rockwell, as good an actor as there is working today.
So heavy on atmosphere that it's hard to breathe, this derivative drama sleepwalks through familiar story lines despite the efforts of a first-rate cast.
Audience Reviews for A Single Shot
One Chance, One Secret, One Mistake.
Good FIlm! I love Sam Rockwell. He picks great projects and this no exception. This is not a fast paced feature but I story I really enjoyed. Maintained a great tension and foreboding throughout which I really enjoy in a film. This is a simple story with some great twists and turns. Starts out slow like a slow burn and then ramps up quickly. This story is believable and has no real holes in it. It's a story you can relate to in that it seems very plausible and believable. You feel the characters fear and tension with the situation he finds himself in. This is a slow paced thriller that is well filmed and the performances are excellent.
The tragic death of a beautiful young girl starts a tense and atmospheric game of cat and mouse between hunter John Moon and the hardened backwater criminals out for his blood.
Super Reviewer
A Single Shot draws influences from No Country for Old Men, A Simple Plan, and Winter's Bone, but is vastly inferior to all three of those films. The cast, which includes Sam Rockwell, Kelly Reilly, Jason Isaacs, Jeffrey Wright, William H Macy, and Joe Anderson does their best to elevate the material. But alas, the stolen money plot is too predictable to be suspenseful, the character study of John Moon a little too cliche to be sympathetic, and the pacing too slow to be engaging.
The film successfully manages to create a dark, eerie backwoods setting. Almost every shot screams atmosphere. This certainly helps to maintain a consistent mood. Yet where the film focuses on its mood, it loses focus in its narrative. There are several tangents that serve little to no purpose in the plot. 15 minutes could have easily been left in the editing room and the story would have been more effective and tightly composed. If you're a fan of Sam Rockwell or dark psychological thrillers, there might be some redeeming qualities here, but A Single Shot will not linger in your mind once its over.
Super Reviewer
A Single Shot is very much a drama, with some thrilling elements. I have already mentioned Fargo, but A Simple Plan would be a good comparison as far as the overall mood of the film is concerned (more people should see A Simple Plan by the way). It is very dark, very deliberate in pace, but very well acted and plotted out in a convincing manner. There may not be much room for levity in a film like this, but between the atmosphere and the fine performances from the cast, I am definitely glad I did not miss this film.

While hunting one day, John Moon(Sam Rockwell) accidentally shoots a young woman instead of the deer he thought he was aiming at. Amongst her belongings, he finds a very large amount of cash. Some of which he uses to employ Daggard Pitt(William H, Macy), a lawyer, to at least try to put a halt on the divorce proceedings his wife Moira(Kelly Reilly) is attempting to put through, desperately wanting to reunite his family. Considering her poor choice of babysitters, he may have a point.
Most people would never think of West Virginia, where this movie could be set, as any place they may want to move to, as most of the characters in "A Single Shot" suffer under the weight of economic hardships and a grey environment, with Moon not being able to hold down a job.(Even Kelly Reilly looks weatherbeaten.) But one thing that thrives there is character turns with quite a few here from a good cast that also includes Jason Isaacs, Jeffrey Wright and Ted Levine.(Levine to his credit is pretty much unintelligible.) What the movie lacks is any kind of perspective on its lead character. It is important to remember that whereas Moon may think he is invariably doing the right thing(except for the part about not dropping the dime anonymously on the woman he shot), the problem is the movie is consistently on his side whereas the truth is always a bit more complicated.

Thread: 'Hurricane' Names
June 2nd, 2014 07:54 PM #1
'Hurricane' Names
I'm wondering what everybody thinks of 'hurricane names,' or the girls names that are given to hurricanes, and whether that makes it a deal breaker. i.e. Sandy, Irene, Katrina, especially.
My name is Katerina and I was surprised when I looked up my name here and found that Nameberry associated it with Hurricane Katrina. A few years ago, someone made that reference, but now I never hear anyone mention it when I tell them my name. I kind of forgot myself.
I'd never use Sandy or Irene, but I think Katrina is pretty. (I probably won't use that either because it's one letter off from my name) but if your favorite girls name was used for a hurricane would you not use it? Would it change the way you see it?
I'd love to hear everyone's opinions!

If I had to name a daughter directly after the event, I probably would be a bit put off from doing it, because that would be the main association at the time. But at the same time, all hurricane names are valid names like Irene, Sandy, or Katrina, and there are still kids being given those names, even some born at the time had those names. If Pandora became a hurricane name though, I think loads of people would see it as doubly negative, thanks to there being the whole Pandora's box (jar) connection. Plus if the name was quite uncommon, then the hurricane would be the only/main association. Irene, Sandy, and Katrina all have other connections for me. I'm not sure if I would or wouldn't use my dear Pandora, tbh.

I think that if I really liked the name then it wouldn't put me off because they were names before they were hurricanes. However, if I lived in the area that the hurricane struck then I would shy away from using it because the association would be with devestation, but it could honour someone who was a casualty of the disaster.
If the event happened a long time ago then it wouldn't taint a lovely name for me XBlythe Echo Gwendolyn

As @myosotis said, it depends on a name. I would use Irene and Katrina because they are well-known, traditional names. Maybe if it was Guinevere or Altalune, I would pick another name, but Irene is perfectly fine.
To be honest, I find it silly to give hurricanes real names. It may be an unpleasant association to people who already bear the name and why ruin the ones that are actually used? If scientists lurked on Nameberry, there would have been names like Desdemona for hurricanes.Olympia

I think it depends on the name and how much time has passed. Hurricane Andrew was huge in the early 90s, but no one associates the name Andrew with it. People born in 2015 will read about Hurricane Katrina, but it happened 10 years before their birth, so peers won't make the association and once enough time has passed, most of the older generation won't either (none of this applies to people who are now or were then in New Orleans as it will always be a part of their family's history, no doubt).
Irene is an established name, much like Andrew. I forgot there was even a Hurricane Irene until you brought it up. I don't know about Sandy. I tend to think no one outside of NY and NJ would make the connection, especially if someone's name is Alexandra or Sandra and she goes by Sandy/Sandi.
By the way, Katerina is one of my favorite names for a girl. I'm not a big fan of Katrina, however. There's something about that "e" that makes Katerina look classy and sophisticated. Katrina looks unfinished.

Project #2
Asni is a gateway for many travelers to the higher Atlas Mountains in Morocco. Asni has a large comprehensive secondary school, however transportation to the school from the mountain villages is very limited and as a result, many young students, particularly girls living in more remote villages, are dropping out of education.
To tackle the increasing challenge of access to education among young girls in the region, a project was developed to build a central boarding house in Asni for up to 100 girls from ages 13 through 18 years old so that they can attend school and continue their studies.
Thanks to the Asni Boarding House for Girls, girls are able to complete their Baccalaureate, have greater employment opportunities, and some girls are even able to go on to further education, however the house is over-enrolled and there is an urgent need for items to help sustain the project for the future.

Groups pledge to continue fighting gay marriage
ST. PAUL -- Today is a day same-sex couples throughout Minnesota celebrate their newly legal marriages and a day when conservative groups pledge to continue their fight against gay marriage.
Hours after a new state law allowed gays to wed, those who have fought gay marriage for years announced they will work in 2014 to defeat state House members who voted for gay marriage in May. Senators do not face re-election until 2016.

My wife and I had a wonderful long weekend at The Crane Creek Inn. The location is ideal, the accommodations and amenities lovely. Local restaurants were excellent. We walked everywhere, enjoyed the porches and the hot tub, and watched the pelicans diving for hours. Andy was a great host. We would definitely recommend this B&B!

For a trip over to Melbourne to visit with childhood friends we needed a place both close to downtown and dog friendly! How lucky were we to find the Crane Creek Inn! Everything about this Inn is beautiful. Run by friendly, laid back couple Andy and Bambi Durik, the house and surrounding yard are inviting and comfortable, so much so that we spontaneously decided to increase our stay by another night! While we did not do it ourselves, another couple went out on the water in kayaks for some fishing and the waterfront view is delightful! Manatees, fish, a variety of birds, even a nice gator swam by... and our pup enjoyed the yard area very much! I will definitely return and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, clean place to retreat to!

This delightful and charming B&B was a dream come true! Would recommend highly. The property and rooms were beautiful ... the breakfast outstanding. Close proximity to restaurants (5 minute walk) and airport (7 miles). The owners take great pride in their B&B and it showed. Thank you, Andy & Bambi for your hospitality.

Andy cooks one mean breakfast with several choices for each individual. Our room was roomy, cheerful, and comfortable. The pool area is large and refreshing and the beverage amenities can't be beat. We had wine, beer, colas and water for our enjoyment 24hours. The walking distance is 2 blocks to downtown. Jeff and Linda will return for sure to Crane Creek Inn in Melbourne.

A must stay if visiting beautiful Melbourne. Hosts Andy & Bambi have created a spectacular getaway whether near or far from them. Grounds have heated pool, rafts, hot tub, hammock, beautiful Crane Creek with amazing sunrises. Gaze on heron, manatee, ibis, egrets, and watch earl risers- gators, in creek. We love Melbourne Room with private porch complete with wicker settee and rockers. Each room has special features so just choose what you desire most. Breakfast outstanding with yummy selections prepared by Andy. His famous blueberry pancakes are a must try with Paul Bunyan size blueberries, Look forward to his chocolate chip cookies as an afternoon treat. Just a very short walk to shops and restaurants in Melbourne. Quick drink to beach also. Pictures on website show much of charm but you must experience in person! Enjoy!

Beautiful views, charming decor, lovely landscaping, amazing blueberry pancakes, a perfect place to hang out on the porch with my Mom - we saw dolphin, rowers, osprey. Andy is a natural at being a host & it shows! He offered to give me the recipe for the pancakes but I think I'll just let him fix them next time we stay at the Inn!

What a pleasant surprise Crane Creek B&B was for my husband and I during our recent stay. Exceeded my expectations in every way. Andy and Bambi are the perfect innkeepers. Exceptional chef that Andy is, cooked my eggs exactly the way I requested and service on our own screened in porch overlooking the water. Wonderful. Given the opportunity we will go back.

Crane Creek Inn was by far the most relaxing Bed and Breakfast we have ever stayed in. The Royal Palm Room was beautiful, loved the wood floors and the paint color and we had our own front entrance. Thank you Andy and Bambi for everything from the fantastic breakfasts, cookies at night, wine by the river and walking distance to many delicious restaurants. We'll be back!

What a great place this is! When we arrived, Andy immediately greeted us and showed us around and made us feel at home (especially with the free wine and beer). The B&B and the view is absolutely beautiful and you are just steps from downtown. I can't leave out the breakfast, I've never been to a B&B where you get a menu, and Andy is pretty damn good cook! I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Melbourne. This was my first time here and I can't wait to go back.

Country of Origin: The Weimardoodle is a cross between a Weimaraner and a Poodle. Poodle crossbreeds are meant to produce a dog with mixed traits and the Poodles signature nonshedding coat. As a crossbreed, the Weimardoodle is not eligible for registration with purebred registries such as the American Kennel Club, but it can be registered with the American Canine Hybrid Club. The Weimardoodle is not considered a purebred because it doesnt breed true, meaning that it doesnt display a consistent set of characteristics. Like other designer breeds, the Weimardoodle has seen a recent surge in popularity. Some breeders produce Weimardoodles by crossing a purebred Poodle with a purebred Weimaraner (called a first generation cross), but others allow crossing Weimardoodles with Poodles or Weimaraners (called a backcross), or other Weimardoodles (called a multi-generation cross). Different crosses can result in different characteristics. Size: Weimardoodles vary widely in size, depending on whether they are bred with a Standard, Miniature, or Toy Poodle. Miniature Weimardoodles, the most common, have a shoulder height of 17-21 in (43-53 cm) and weigh 30-50 lbs (14-23 kg). Some have the stocky build of a Weimaraner (along with its characteristic grey or amber eyes) and others are thin like the Poodle. Weimardoodles should have a head and limbs proportionate to their body size to prevent back problems; natural breeding rather than artificial methods will produce the best result. Coat: The Weimardoodle may have the short, hard coat of the Weimaraner, the longer frilly coat of the Poodle, or anything in between. Some Weimardoodles have the distinctive grey coat of the Weimaraner while others inherit the Poodles variety of colors, including white, apricot, or black. A variety of coat textures and colors may occur in the same litter. Weimardoodles shed little or not at all. First generation Weimardoodles tend to shed slightly more than higher generation crosses, though their coats are generally shorter and require less frequent brushing and grooming. Character: The Weimardoodle is affectionate with everyone, but particularly devoted to its master. Some Weimardoodles tend to get separation anxiety and bark nervously when their owners depart. Weimardoodles are highly protective of their family and make good watchdogs. Temperament: The Weimardoodle is affectionate with children, dogs and other pets. It is a little reserved with strangers. Weimardoodles may grow jealous when a new child or pet arrives in the family; be sure to give them extra attention at these times. Larger Weimardoodles with high energy levels should be supervised around young children to prevent an accident. Socialization when young is recommended for the Weimardoodle. Care: The Weimardoodle requires occasional brushing and grooming several times a year, depending on coat type. Bathe only as necessary. The Weimardoodle has a lifespan of 10-13 years. Like other hybrids, Weimardoodles tend to have fewer health problems than purebreds (known as hybrid vigor). Possible health issues are hip and elbow dysplasia (malformed joints which can cause lameness or arthritis), hypothyroidism, and eye problems such as entropion, distichia, and PRA. Training: The Weimardoodle inherits the Poodles intelligence and the Weimaraners devotion, making it easily and quickly trained. A gentle and positive reinforcement-based approach is recommended. Activity: The Weimaraner and Standard Poodle require a substantial amount of daily exercise, and the Miniature Poodle considerably less, so depending on the Weimardoodles genetic makeup, it may be satisfied by a daily walk or may demand lengthier outings in the countryside.

January 28th, 1970
Madison Square Garden, N.Y.
As spirited as the Fillmore concerts may have been, the resurrection of the Jimi Hendrix Experience became the immediate priority of Jimi's management. This became increasingly so in the aftermath of a failed January 28, 1970 Band Of Gypsys gig at Madison Square Garden. The Winter Carnival For Peace was an event organized by promoter Sid Bernstein. The concert was a nonprofit benefit to raise money for the Moratorium Fund, an antiwar effort. Joining Hendrix and the Band Of Gypsys on the bill were such diverse acts as the Rascals, Harry Belefonte, and the cast of Hair.
Jimi's performance began shortly after 3 a.m. He lurched miserably through two songs "Who Knows" and "Earth Blues" before he sat down on the stage and refused to continue. Buddy Miles tried to mollify the confused audience, pleading for their patience but Hendrix refused to continue. Miles petitioned the crowd to allow Hendrix time to regroup but Jimi unplugged his guitar and disappeared backstage.
The group's aborted performance left a bitter taste for Hendrix, Cox, and Miles and the three parted company immediately afterwards. Jimi described the scene a few days after concert to Rolling Stone's John Burks. "It's like the end of the beginning or something," explained Hendrix. "I figure that Madison Square Garden is like the end of a big long fairy tale. Which is great. I think it's like the best ending I could possibly have come up with. The Band Of Gypsys were out of sight as far as I'm concerned. It was just…going through head changes is what it was. I couldn't really tell. I was very tired. You know, sometimes there's a lot of things that add up in your head about this or that and they might hit you at a very peculiar time, which happened to be at a peace rally. Here I'd been fighting the biggest war I ever fought. In my life. Inside, you know? And like that wasn't the place to do it."
January 28th, 1970
Billed as the "Winter Festival For Peace," Peter Yarrow (Peter, Paul & Mary) and Sid Bernstein, event producers, announced that their services would be donated and that all proceeds of the event will go to the Vietnam Moratorium effort. The five-hour festival slated from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. will feature Harry Belafonte; Blood, Sweat & Tears; Dave Brubeck; Richie Havens; Mother Earth; Peter, Paul & Mary; The Rascals; The Cast of Hair; Judy Collins, and Jimi Hendrix & his Band Of Gypsys.
Suffering from exhaustion and the effects of a drink laced with an unknown substance taken before the show, Hendrix failed to execute his musical plans this evening. Having completed just two songs, "Who Knows" and "Earth Blues" the only thing Hendrix could do at that point was drop his guitar and sit down on the stage, meanwhile Miles and Cox continue to roll through the back beats. As Alfred Aronowitz later recalled in his New York Post column, "The crowd has already gotten twice its money's worth when Jimi Hendrix stopped playing in the middle of his second number, said 'That's what happens when Earth ***** with Space, never forget that, that's what happens.'" ... "Jimi got up, put his guitar down and walked offstage."
"When he came off stage," explained Alan Douglas "he actually fell off the apron. At first I thought he was hurt, but he wasn't. I then ran backstage to the dressing room to see if in fact he was okay. There he was sitting playing the guitar and smiling. I don't know what went through his mind when he was on stage, but the first thing I noticed, it looked like he was having a big rhythm problem. I think he just got fed up."
Backstage, Jimi meets Johnny Winter. In recounting the meeting Winter explains, "I saw Jimi backstage at the Madison Square Garden concert, the one where he just couldn't play. When I saw him, it have me chills. It was the most horrible thing I'd ever seen. He came in with this entourage of people, and it was like he was already dead. He just walked in - and even though Jimi and I weren't the greatest of friends, we always talked, always - and he came in with his head down, sat on the couch alone, and put his head in his hands. He didn't say a word to anybody, and no one spoke to him. He didn't move until it was time for the show. He really wanted to do that gig, but he never should have. It wasn't that it was bad, but his whole thing was inspiration, and there wasn't any. It was just completely uninspired; finally, right in the middle of a song, he just took his guitar off, sat on the stage - the band was still playing - and told the audience, "I'm sorry, we just can't get it together." One of his people said he was sick, and lead him off stage. He was just so unhappy that there was no way that he could play the show. It didn't have anything to do with the group - he had already died!"
