Back Crooked Pieces' Kickstarter to help make Funny Things
26th February 2015
Last autumn Crooked Pieces released the pilot of the 'And Then She Said A Funny Thing' podcast - a brand new audio treat designed to get brilliant work by the funniest women writers out there…
18th February 2015
Finding out that Jon Stewart will be leaving 'The Daily Show' made me quite upset. I have such a crush on that man and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I'm going to miss him so much. …
We celebrated our 10th anniversary on the 8th March 2012, International Women's Day, by challenging 10 amazing high profile women from the worlds of business, media, politics and academia to perform stand-up for the very first time in their lives. They are raising funds for 10 amazing causes with the help of 10 of the UK's most well connected women's networks.
And forgive our immodesty, but we are so grateful for all the lovely feedback we had from last week's 10th Anniversary Charity Challenge, that we'd like to share it with you.
Although a lot of the emails are addressed and mention me, I couldn't have done it without the very special people around me: Lucy Hutchison, Isobel Matheson, Karen Rosie, Liz Waters, Lucy Aston, Richard Lightamn, Grace Lightman and our fantastic web and graphic design team at n9Design, Nick Warren, Gareth Tutt and Tim Legg.
Lynne Parker, Founder of Funny Women
It's a big 'THANK YOU' from us and now a big 'THANK YOU' from them.
A huge thank you once again for inviting me to speak at your event on Thursday. It was so very generous of you and very much appreciated by me. As a result 40 kind hearted people signed up which means our grand total is now 4,009 which is just tremendous.
As for the big event – well, what a night. In truth I didn't know quite what to expect but it was a truly superb evening and so well organised. The venue was perfect - the food was gorgeous and the entertainment was amazing and that was all down to you. What an incredibly lady you are.
T. Sandeman – Lloyd, www.save5.org.uk
Just to echo what everyone has said to today. Carole and the ladies were absolutely brilliant. It was a great night and all the work put in by Lynne and her colleagues at Funny Women made it an outstanding celebration of International Women's Day. I also signed up for organ donation which I have been meaning to do for so long but never got round too.
Thank you so much for helping to raise much needed money for all the charities, the results are amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed myself, it was an inspirational event.
Trilby Breckman, Development Manager, Triumph Over Phobia
I just wanted to drop you a quick note of congratulations on a fabulous event last night – a sparkling tribute to ten years of success!
Myself and all our guests really enjoyed themselves and I know Carole won't be forgetting the experience in a hurry.
Many thanks and best regards,
Florence Tennent, @YouGovStone. @TheStoneClub
You must be feeling naturally high this morning. The event was nothing short of amazing and you deserve a huge pat on the back. You have not only helped women to overcome self consciousness and allowed them to help others, you have also facilitated the raising of funds for 10 charities which will have far reaching consequences. I for one am enormously grateful for all your support for the Angelus Foundation and I tip my hat to Julie for her bravery and support.
All the performers were fantastic, it was hard to choose a winner, as in truth they are all winners – it was a great triumph on International Women's Day. A real big slice of Girl Power!
I hope you won't mind me asking everyone included in this whether they could sign our e-petition to get drugs education on the National Curriculum. We need 100,000 signatures so I would be grateful to everyone if they could sign it and pass it on to all their contacts. More Girl Power please! Here is the link: http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/30280
Much love to you Lynne and well done to everyone who participated.
Maryon Stewart, Founder, The Angelus Foundation.
Just a really quick note to say thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to be involved in the Charity Challenge and for introducing us to Amisha, and also congratulations on a fantastic event! It seemed like everyone had a brilliant time, our table certainly did.
We'd love to work with Funny Women again in the future, and we're very happy to help promote any of your events.
Sarah Jackson, Communications and New Media Manager, Womankind Worldwide
Well! That went well! Congratulations to all you fantastic women who "did funny" tonight and especially thank you for raising the profile of so many great charities. A special shout out of course from FPA to Deb who did us proud and a terrific well done to Lynne and the team for pulling it off. Same time next year?..... Julie
Julie Bentley, Chief Executive, FPA
I just wanted to say a massive thank you for organising last night's event! We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves – even more so because Rowan won and we think she's an absolute star!
We're really looking forward to getting the video to show everyone in the office how great she was!
Katharine Tinker, Events and Community Manager, Children in Crisis.
Firstly, thank you for asking Hela and me and having faith in us that we would deliver (the only excuse not to of course, would have been the death of one of us!!)
They do say stand up is one of the scariest things to do and it's TRUE! Naturally we say to ourselves...what if no-one laughs? Although once we got up there and got going I really did enjoy myself. And of course we had such fun rehearsing and preparing - as you can imagine.
All in all it's been an amazing experience. I think I've used all my emotions on this one event! It's been scary, stressful, exhilarating, exciting, hilarious, moving, fulfilling, overwhelming...and I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
Well done to you and your team for such a brilliant celebration of your 10 years in business and International Women's Day. And of course there's the fundraising. Having just looked at the running totals, your initiative has instigated almost £25,000 worth of fundraising so far. That's incredible! And it's not over yet!
The success of the event was a tremendous accolade to you Lynne. Which you richly deserve.
With all my good wishes for the next 10 years!
Challenger Annie Brooks, Director, Sister Snog
Indeed well done to everyone! What a night that was. Agree with Julie – same time next year?!
Thanks Julie for the mention and for linking with me, I will keep on with the fundraising.
Lynne I'd just like to say a huge thanks for giving me the opportunity to do this. It has as you know always been on my 'bucket list' and so it's great to achieve it, and to do so for such a worthy cause.
To all comedy buddies – I say without reservation we were 'ucking antastic'!
Challenger Deborah Leary OBE, CEO - Forensic Pathways Limited
Lynne, thank you for asking me, for believing that I could do stand up comedy. I had a wonderful time and I felt very proud of myself (once I'd finished). It was great to meet so many incredible women who do wonderful work in support of their respective charities.
Congratulations to Rowan on winning the challenge. When you mentioned purple sprouting broccoli I thought about my Able & Cole delivery that included that very item. And congratulations to all of us for taking part in what was truly an unforgettable event.
Well done Lynne, Liz, Karen and all the team for working so hard. I love seeing behind the scenes because it is always staggering the amount of work that goes into putting on such an event. Brilliant.
Challenger, Sharon Simpson, The Reinvention Diva
Yes, an amazing night, unbelievable organisation from every quarter - I couldn't believe the scale of the operation and all the many meticulous details down to those drop-dead gorgeous uber-vixen singers and the pink feather boas. Huge slaps on backs to everyone, respect to every contender, to their mentors , to the supporting networks and total awe to Lynne and Funny Women. I have to say I am still laughing at Vanessa's story of weeing on her daughter. Now I know how to threaten my sons...
Challenger and WINNER, Rowan Pellling
Lynne - two weeks ago, I said yes, but I really wasn't sure if I could do that. Thank you for believing that I could enough, so that I just had to believe it to and get on with it. I really enjoyed myself!
Challenger, Amisha Ghadiali
Well done to all the Challengers and of course to Lynne for putting on an amazing, entertaining and (without doubt) humourous evening. Victoria and I were blown away by the quality and confidence of everyone brave enough to stand on stage!
Well done again!!! We're raising a glass (of Blue Nun of course!) to you all!
Louise Fitzgerald & Victoria Temple Morris, Ladies Live Longer who kindly mentored Sister Snog.
Thursday was a HUGE success - I take my hat off to you!!
Sarah Martin, Ladies at 11.
What a fantastic event it was on Thursday, I thoroughly enjoyed it and you should be really proud of what you achieved!
Nikki Short, Relationship Manager, NatWest.
Firstly, I just wanted to congratulate the Funny Women team on a great event last night. I've decided that this year I want to bite the bullet and give stand up a go and last night was just the inspiration I needed. Great to see such a range of accomplished women being funny. If only there was more of it on the telly!
Rebecca How, guest.
Thanks for a great evening – we had an absolute scream (and some of us had rather a lot of pink fizzy wine). It was really beautifully organised. We came away feeling very happy to have made the effort, and that such a lot of effort had been made for us. Thanks to you, and to the team behind it all.
Anna Gray, International Product Manager, Royal Mail

1. Calendar. In this case, the calendar is a chalkboard with space for notes to family members and magnetic letters for delegation of chores.
2. Computer. Go the high-tech route if there is space in your command center. And if the sight of a messy computer station bothers you, a hidden storage cabinet such as this will help.
3. Message board. Here, a chalkboard is in a high-traffic area of the home so family members can leave notes and keep everyone up to date.
4. Wall panels. Magnetic message boards, wire baskets and cups turn a wall into a command center.
5. Wall pockets. Wooden boxes are great for mail and coupons.
6. Key holder. You'll need a place to stash the keys, whether it's a small dish on the counter or a dual-function unit like this.
7. Cubbies. This compact command center makes smart use of a small niche.
9. Desk. A counter and place to sit turns a command center into a place to get real work done. This is a great use of space in this dining nook area. The cabinetry gives contrast to the command center.
10. Bulletin board. Here's another mudroom remodeling project that makes family organization a priority. This spot is perfectly situated for a quick check on important tasks before heading out the door.
11. Charging station. The key to the perfect charging station is easy access a place to hide clutter. A cabinet like this with open cubbies and drawers below is a great setup.
12. Display room. This spacious command center in the mudroom area is large enough to display family photos and a full bulletin board for posting letters, bills and notes.
13. Hooks. This spot has enough space for everything a family on the go needs, including hooks for jackets and bowls for the dog.

I have a 410 shotgun and it has a "recessed" 3" chamber--What I mean is the chamber is larger than the bore. None of my other 12 ga have this feature. What is this type of chamber called? Why is it made that way? How does it affect performance? Thanks for any help

Willing to bet you that ALL your shotguns have that- but in the .410, the size makes the difference more apparent to the eye. The diameter of the chamber is larger than the diameter of the bore. In front of the chamber is a tapered section, known as the forcing cone. When a shotshell fires, it opens OUT into the bore. The space with the forcing cone gives room for that to happen- otherwise you get one hell of a pressure spike- bad ju-ju. Think about it for a second- shot sits in a shot cup inside the shell. Inside of the shell HAS to be smaller than outside- thickness of the shell wall on each side. The bore will be diameter that the shot cup will fit. CHAMBER has to be larger for shell to fit.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
Got it-- is there any real differences if one fired a 2 3/4 shell in a 3 inch chamber? It would seem that the shot would have to "jump" over a gap. Maybe I'm over thinking something that only a minor issue Thanks
No problems using the 2 3/4" shells. Shoot all you like.. Jim...................
In shotguns, it never hurts anything when you fire a shorter shell in a longer chamber. The only thing is if it's an semi-auto it may not function in the case of firing a light 2 3/4" (2 1/2" in 410) shell in a 3 1/2" chamber (3" in 410). The listed length of shotgun shells is measured AFTER firing-not before. This is what gives the shell room in the chamber to open up upon firing along with the larger chamber diameter.
Sometimes you earthlings REALLY amaze me!
Thanks to all for the replies

Kolor discloses alpha version of next Autopano 2.5
Friday 25 June 2010
Kolor released a public alpha version of next version 2.5 of Autopano Pro and Autopano Giga.
Autopano engine is composed of 3 parts:
- Kolor Autopano Synapse: the detection engine which detects keypoints, matches them, and then regroups everything into logical panoramas
- Kolor Autopano Neurone: the optimization engine for each panorama which takes results of the 'synapse' and then calculates cameras and color correction
- Kolor Autopano Cortex: the rendering engine that creates the final panorama (rendering / blending / ghost detection / fusion, etc).
All parts benefit from enhancements. Key new features include:
- Faster image stitching on large panoramas thanks to the fully multi-threaded detection.
- Free Nodal Point: Autopano Giga allows you to stitch images even if their nodal point differed. This is very helpful for aerial photography or if you make virtual tours and want to shoot the nadir freehand.
- New color correction system, simpler to understand.
- A manual editor of control points.
- A completely rewritten rendering engine.
- Many new options in the interface and preferences.
You can test this alpha version if you would like to have a preview of what will be version 2.5. The installation of this alpha version does not remove your previous install of Autopano, so you can still use your current Autopano version if you have trouble using the alpha.

September 25th, 2010 at 9:13 amGreat job!!
Free nodal point has solved me a lot of frustration. Pitty, it works with Quick version only, otherwise bails out of the program. Filled up with bugs, so I have to use my 2.0 but some panos I couldn't make with it 2.5 has stitched almost perfectly…Go on guys, I can't wait for a Beta version. When is it expected?
Look at my Karlovac pano. It's been stitched by 2.5 Alpha

Paul Russell Says:
August 29th, 2010 at 2:30 amThe jury is still out on this one. A 252 pic Gigapan that Gigastitch put together in 3 hours is still halfway through rendering in 24 hours using Autopan 2.5. This is on a W7 x64 box with 8 processors, 8Gb of RAM and plenty of storage. According to Task Manager only one processor is getting any major action. It doesn't seem to be using multi-threading very efficiently at all.
richard vallon jr. Says:
August 22nd, 2010 at 11:12 pmPer the remark that Autopano 2.5 stitches off node images- I had the last two versions of this fine app
and accidentally made a panorama that was at least 1.5 inches off node… Autopano had no problem stitching it.
I'm not recommending shooting off node- but the way Autopano stitches- it is a very forgiving program.
I admit I do not know the program very well – as I have used it in automated modes and have had virtually no problems. -
Peter Says:
July 22nd, 2010 at 8:33 pmSorry, Will be saved only, if you take 1 HDD.
If you choose 2 HDD´s, it will not be saved. -
Rami Says:
July 13th, 2010 at 2:35 pmYou need to restart Autopano to take those changes into account.

June 25th, 2010 at 5:34 pmGood Job! AutoPPano Giga 2.0 recognition flies on my 8-core Mac Pro, but rendering is slow. It would help if the defaults were made multithreaded for the next release.

The Romney campaign repudiated Akin's remarks shortly after they aired on Sunday -– and there's nothing to connect Mitt Romney or Ryan to Akin's bewildering statement about "legitimate rape." The Romney campaign statement elaborated that a Romney-Ryan administration would allow abortions under the exceptional cases of rape, incest, or in instances of danger to the life of the mother.
On the presidential ticket, then, Romney's policy trumps Ryan's record.
Still, Ryan's and Akin's voting records on abortion-related issues are barely distinguishable. During his 14 years in Congress, Ryan has voted in perfect concert with the positions taken by National Right to Life Committee, according to the NRLC scorecard. That's 78 votes with NRL, and none against (he didn't vote on three bills). In his House career, Akin voted with NRL 59 times and against it once (Akin was one of 25 Republicans joining 189 Democrats to nearly sink the Medicare Modernization Act in 2003. Here's NRLC's write up of the MMA vote.)
However, the two differ on one important matter: Ryan believes abortions could be an option in the case of danger to the mother, while Akin does not.

Barnet's Yak doubt for County trip
The centre-half missed last weekend's defeat at Morecambe with a back injury but declared himself fit to face Torquay on Tuesday night. However, he lasted just four minutes before collapsing with a back spasm which forced him to be hospitalised. He has since been released but is extremely doubtful to be fit to play at Meadow Lane. Veteran Gary Breen has played in the last two games after two months out with a knee injury and will be partnered by either Dan Leach or Joe Devera in the centre of defence. Fellow defender Clovis Kamdjo is recovering from knee surgery and could be back in training inside a fortnight as manager Ian Hendon looks for a first league win since October.

No, no, no, no. This is all wrong.
You all are advocating aggression, sarcasm, and ambivalence. Wouldn't it be nice to have a candidate who could run on a platform whose theme song was Santana's "Make Somebody Happy?" - The platform would be about brotherhood, unity, peace. What a welcome change that would be from the finger-pointing, shouting and degrading that goes on nowadays.
Just sayin'

Degree Requirements
Mathematics Requirement
A strong background and ability in mathematics are important for successful completion of the program. A minimal mathematics prerequisite for entering PhD students is a thorough working knowledge of the material covered in a two-semester introductory calculus sequence.
The entering student must be able to use mathematics as a language, translating verbal descriptions of phenomena into the appropriate mathematical framework. Students with some background in linear algebra, the elements of optimization, and probability and statistics will be better prepared for required course work.
Residence and Course-Credit Requirements
To maintain good standing as a PhD candidate, a student must be registered for two terms out of three during the trimester academic year, although once involved in research toward a thesis, students are generally expected to be in residence in all three terms. Satisfactory completion of 20 full-time courses is required for the PhD degree. The exact number and selection of courses is determined by the student in consultation with faculty members in the major field.
Normal course loads during the autumn and spring terms are four to five courses per term; summer-term course loads are generally lighter, with heavier emphasis on research work. Students receiving financial aid often serve as teaching or research assistants; a maximum of two assistantships per term is allowed. PhD candidates are allowed, but not encouraged, to take one in five courses for R (registration) credit. The other courses must be taken for letter grade credit (H = honors; HP = high pass; P = pass; LP = low pass; F = fail). Students are expected to take courses in their major fields for letter-grade credit.
Advanced Standing
Up to 10 courses of relevant graduate work completed at Columbia or at another university may be credited toward the course requirement for the degree. If a student has completed more than 20 graduate courses at Columbia before entering the PhD program, he or she may be granted a maximum of 15 courses of advanced standing. The advanced standing granted depends on the assessment by the Doctoral Committee of the quality and relevance of the work. Credit for advanced standing is not conferred until the PhD student has successfully completed at least one term in the program.
Proficiency Requirements
Students must satisfy requirements in the following areas:
- Breadth Requirements
- Field Examination
- Oral Examination
Breadth Requirements
Students entering the doctoral program with only a bachelor's degree are required to take two courses from the other divisions of the Business School: Accounting; Decision, Risk and Operations; Finance and Economics; Management; and Marketing. For students entering the program with a graduate-level degree other than an MBA or its graduate equivalent, this requirement may be waived, subject to approval of the doctoral coordinator. Students holding an MBA or its equivalent are automatically exempt from the breadth requirement.
Field Examination
The student demonstrates proficiency in the major field by passing comprehensive written examinations.
Oral Examination
In the oral examination, a student's preparation to do independent research is evaluated, in-depth knowledge within the major field is examined, and ability to relate basic knowledge from other areas to the major field is tested. The student will present a dissertation proposal and must answer questions not only on the proposal but also on relevant background.
The oral examination is normally held within one year after the written major field examination. The oral examination committee is usually composed of four faculty members. At least two committee members are chosen from the student's major field.

There is little special too about using fiberglass instead of smooth-cast. Hope you enjoy!Ok. Lets get started!"I need five identically same looking parts like in that center of the picture for my cosplay but making them one by one would take LOTS of time. What to do?"If you have the right materials then the answer is simple: "Make one sharp prototype of that piece then mold it and cast it."Here are the materials you need:- Modelling paste for making the prototype (or what ever material you like. It won't affect to the final product)- Smooth-On's Oomoo 25 or 30 for making the mold (mold max 20-40 works too but it' need more skill to use. So i recommend Oomoo)- Smooth-On's Smoothcast series for casting (i recommend smooth-cast 320 because it is easy to paint with spray paint)(Smooth-On got lot of resellers in few countries.

The Talk's Aisha Tyler will fill Drew Carey's old seat as host, while Wayne Brady, Colin Mochrie and Ryan Stiles reunite on stage for the show's new run on The CW. According to USA Today, there will be a rotating fourth comedian each episode, with guests Gary Anthony Williams, Keegan Michael Key, Heather Ann Campbell, Glee's Kevin McHale and The Walking Dead's Lauren Cohan on board to appear this season. While the guests sound fun, a fresh batch of Whose Line is Anyway? episodes wouldn't be the same without an appearance by the oh-so memorable Richards Simmons. I'm crossing my fingers that the recent General Hospital guest pops up at some point and brings his brand of crazy to the improv show.

England won the men's team gymnastics gold medal but a heavy landing on the vault ended Sam Oldham's Commonwealth Games as he left the arena in a wheelchair.
With England fantastically placed at the top of the standings in the team final and a place in the all-around final as well as a number of apparatus finals well within his grasp, the injury came as a cruel blow to the Nottingham gymnast.
The vault was Oldham's first apparatus of the day and after attacking it on a positive note, he seemed to have executed it well before a heavy landing saw him instantly pull up his foot and drop to the mat.
Medical staff were quickly on the scene but it was a number of minutes before the 21-year-old Olympic bronze medalist was moved. A wheelchair was called for and Oldham was wheeled out of the arena for an X-ray to assess the damage.
The England team, and Kristian Thomas in particular, were visibly upset by the incident with two apparatus still remaining and the gold medal up for grabs.
Louis Smith, initially picked as a specialist, stepped in to the void for the parallel bars and performed admirably as England refused to let to setback affect their performance.
Max Whitlock, the favourite for the individual all-around title, led the way with a superb vault (15.333) followed by impressive showings on the parallel bars (14.500) and the horizontal bar (14.766) as he qualified for the all-around final with a huge score of 90.365.
Youngster Nile Wilson and Thomas were also in good form as the England team's strength in depth shone through, a winning total of 266.804 saw them finish comfortably clear of Scotland (257.603) in the silver medal position.
It was an historic moment for Scotland as they picked up their first ever Commonwealth Games medal in gymnastics, a feat made all the sweeter on home soil.
Canada picked up the bronze ahead of Australia with Wales in fifth.

Authorities in Le Sueur County spent the weekend rounding up loose cattle. At around 7am Saturday about 40 head of cattle escaped from a fenced area east of Le Center, and members of the Le Sueur County Sheriff's Posse were called in. Their job was made harder, however, when the animals broke up into smaller groups. Drivers were being warned to watch for cattle while driving in Le Sueur County. They were reportedly wandering in corn fields and wooded areas about two or three miles east of Le Center, as well as just south of Highway 99.

"This is a guy who came in here wanting to do big things," Mr. Fenn says. "Everybody thinks he's wedded to some labor union or some senior citizens organization or some environmental group, but if they think he's going to knee-jerk his way through a second term, I don't think so."
And as much as Republicans insist a reelected Obama would feel free to let his true "leftie" self run wild (since he won't face voters again), the more probable scenario is that he would feel less constrained by his liberal base and would be willing to cut deals with the Republicans, analysts say.
"He may end up really ticking off folks on the Democratic side," says Fenn.
Obvious opportunities for dealmaking early in Obama's second term would center on deficit reduction and tax reform. But voters wouldn't know that from the campaign. Both Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney have only outlined goals, staying vague on details and allowing each to spin the other's plans in equally unappetizing ways.
The better bet is to read Bob Woodward's new book, "The Price of Politics," which shows how far Obama was willing to go in the grand bargain negotiations of summer 2011 – particularly on the restructuring of Medicare, the biggest driver of the nation's unsustainable fiscal path.
According to Mr. Woodward, Obama and House Republicans were willing to raise the eligibility age for Medicare from 65 to 67, but couldn't agree on how quickly to phase in the change. Another negotiation, between Vice President Joe Biden and House majority leader Eric Cantor, contemplated higher premiums for wealthier seniors.

Plaintiff employee allegedly signed a document. I want to subpoena the employee to testify at trial.
Lawyer agrees
Answered May 07, 2013 19:03. The more important question is whether you will have the subpoena correctly issue. You may want to seek counsel from an attorney on doing so. As far as costs, you likely will not have to pay for that witness to appear.
Answered May 10, 2013 05:04. Place all potential witnesses under subpoena, and once you do, you will place them under the court's power to demand their presence in court. I suggest you not do this yourself, hire an attorney to help you, because mistakes in litigation can be costly.

The photo fell out of some old family papers. It was fuzzy and had been snapped eight decades earlier, but Ken Hatch says he knew immediately that it was taken at Howitt Pond, the Guelph swimming hole where he played as a boy in the 1930s.
Last week's "mystery" photo was definitely a challenge for readers to identify.
For one thing, the area is now overgrown with trees and doesn't look much like the scene in the picture. For another, the pond ceased to exist about seven years ago with the removal of a small dam along Silver Creek, which flows south along the west side of today's Howitt Park. This part of Silver Creek is often called Howitt Creek.
"We had some great times there," recalls Hatch, 85, a retired Ontario government boiler inspector who has lived for years in Ottawa, but grew up in a home on Inkerman Street in Guelph, which today comes to a dead end near the north end of Howitt Park.
Where's the park? It's in the central area of Guelph, east of the Hanlon Expressway, west of the downtown and north of Wellington Street. Without the dam, the pond area has become more like a secluded ravine, full of bulrushes.
Hatch has donated a copy of his family photo to the Guelph Civic Museum. He figures it was taken sometime about 1933, when he was six years old.
In those years the pond's east bank had a beach that was created by area residents, Hatch says, using truckloads of sand that city employees provided each year. The city also provided huts for change rooms (you can see one in the photo).
The residents built their own diving tower. And there was even a zipline of sorts. You could ride out over the water along a wire that was strung from pulleys fastened to trees on each side.
"When I was down there with my brother Nelson, three years ago, some of the hardware from those pulleys was still attached to the trees," Hatch says.
He was one of 13 children raised by John Francis Hatch, a plasterer, and his wife, Elizabeth Diana. With the 2011 death of Nelson, who was a retired Guelph Fire Department captain, he became the sole survivor of the siblings.
The family moved to Metcalfe Street in 1936, but Hatch says he returned to Howitt Pond often to play with his old friends. When he was older, he also swam at Simpson's Mill on Speedvale Road and at the "lakes" near the Ontario Reformatory (the "O-R" for short) in the York Road area.
Hatch left Guelph to pursue his career in 1953. By then the Second World War had come and gone and Howitt Pond wasn't the same kind of neighbourhood gathering place it had been in the 1930s, he says.
Howitt Pond was an early 19th-century development, created and maintained to ensure a steady source of water power for two nearby mills to the south along Waterloo Avenue, not far from where the creek empties into the Speed River.
The Red Mill, as it was called, is described in the 1939 book About Guelph: Its Early Days and Later, by David Allan, recently republished by the Guelph Historical Society. According to Allan, it stood beside the creek on the north side of Waterloo Avenue.
The Phoenix Mill, a gristmill on the south side of Waterloo Avenue, was also powered by Howitt Creek. It later became the home of Sterling Rubber. The limestone Phoenix building still stands today at 358 Waterloo Ave. It's a designated heritage structure that now holds residential units.
Howitt Park was created by the City of Guelph in 1962. The name honours members of the Howitt family who once lived just west of the park in Kingsmill House, a large Tuscan-style residence off Waterloo Avenue. Kingsmill House was earlier the home of John Juchereau Kingsmill, a Crown attorney for Wellington County. It is still standing today on Woodycrest Drive, above the west side of the old pond site.
Guelph MP Frank Valeriote now lives in Kingsmill House and has a keen interest in Howitt Creek and its future. He said in an interview this week he has asked the city and the Grand River Conservation Authority to replace the old weir and once again create a pond in the neighbourhood.

Solutions for securing virtual machines, network shares and EBS data storage
Amazon Web Services™ is a leading public cloud service with its user-friendly management and the ease with which applications may be on-boarded onto a scalable and reliable cloud infrastructure. While enterprises have leveraged the public cloud for development and test applications, these same organizations are now looking to use AWS for hosting enterprise applications.
However, industry research confirms that data security concerns continue to be a top barrier in moving workloads to the cloud. While cloud data is subject to the same risks as that which are resident in private datacenters such as data breach and insider threatsthe move to public cloud environments introduces additional risk. Regulatory compliance, concerns of cyber surveillance and the loss of sovereignty over data, the issue of sensitive data remaining within the cloud even if the enterprise decides to leave this environment intensify the risk of moving workloads to the cloud.
CloudLink SecureVM provides pre-boot authorization, image integrity validation and encrypts boot volume and data volumes with a centralized management approach that allows IT departments to have full control over data security in the cloud. SecureVM unlocks native Windows Bitlocker and Linux OS encryption features with a centralized management approach giving you visibility and control over when and where VMs and data are run and accessed while retaining full control of the encryption keys.
SecureVM for Amazon AWS supports the following key features:
- Enable Windows BitLocker and Linux native OS encryption for both Windows and Linux VMs
- Encrypt boot volume and/or data volume
- Pre-boot authentication for AWS VMs before releasing the keys to decrypt the boot volumes
- Protect the integrity of AWS VMs against unauthorized modification
- Integrate with existing enterprise key management and provide full control the key management policy
- Support hybrid cloud deployments

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery causes profound changes in secretion of gastrointestinal hormones and glucose metabolism. We present a detailed analysis of the early hormone changes after RYGB in response to three different oral test meals designed to provide this information without causing side effects (such as dumping).
We examined eight obese non-diabetic patients before and within 2 weeks after RYGB. On separate days, oral glucose tolerance tests (25 or 50 g glucose dissolved in 200 mL of water) and a liquid mixed meal test (200 mL 300 kcal) were performed. We measured fasting and postprandial glucose, insulin, C-peptide, glucagon, total and intact glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2), peptide YY3-36 (PYY), cholecystokinin (CCK), total and active ghrelin, gastrin, somatostatin, pancreatic polypeptide (PP), amylin, leptin, free fatty acids (FFA), and registered postprandial dumping. Insulin sensitivity was measured by homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance.
Fasting glucose, insulin, ghrelin, and PYY were significantly decreased and FFA was elevated postoperatively. Insulin sensitivity increased after surgery. The postprandial response increased for C-peptide, GLP-1, GLP-2, PYY, CCK, and glucagon (in response to the mixed meal) and decreased for total and active ghrelin, leptin, and gastrin, but were unchanged for GIP, amylin, PP, and somatostatin after surgery. Dumping symptoms did not differ before and after the operation or between the tests.
Within 2 weeks after RYGB, we found an increase in insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity. Responses of appetite-regulating intestinal hormones changed dramatically, all in the direction of reducing hunger.
