Brampton's History Historical Facts: Brampton was still a wilderness when the first European settlers arrived in the early 1800s. • Early settlers originally named the tiny settlement of Brampton in honour of their hometown – Brampton, Cumberland, England. • The Grand Trunk Railway constructed a rail line and a station in Brampton in 1856, which triggered an economic boom and the village started growing fast. • In 1860, Edward Dale established a market garden business. Within a few years, the business shifted to flower production. Brampton soon became known as the "Flowertown of Canada" and Dale's Nursery became Brampton's largest employer. By the turn of the century, hundreds of acres of land were filled with greenhouses growing prize orchids, hybrid roses and many other quality flowers for export around the world. • In 1865, Brampton became the Peel County seat and this helped trigger new growth in the community. • In 1873, Brampton was incorporated as a town and John Haggert was elected the first mayor. • By the turn of the 20th century, Brampton was attracting new industries such as the Hewetson Shoe Company, Copeland-Chatterson Loose Leaf Binder Company and Gummed Papers. • After World War II, new subdivisions began to develop. In the late 1950s, Bramalea was created and touted as "Canada's first satellite city". • In March 1948, Brampton endured a devastating flood when the Etobicoke Creek overflowed its banks. The town launched an ambitious civil engineering project to straighten and reroute the Etobicoke Creek. • In 1974, the Region of Peel was created and Brampton became a city. • In the 1980s and 1990s, expansive subdivisions were developed. The culturally diverse and vibrant city of today began to emerge. • Brampton is now among the largest urban centres in Canada with a population of over 450,000 people. The roots of modern Brampton can be traced through these landmark historical events. These and other key events from the past created and shaped the city we know today; just as the events of today will shape the Brampton of tomorrow.

The Washington McLaughlin Christian School was established to provide a Christian Education for students that is God-centered, Bible-based, student-related and life-enhanced.
Our general objective is to produce students with the attributes of Jesus Christ, who are examples of academic excellence.
Our specific objectives are to so effectively teach that each student will accept Jesus Christ as his/her personal Savior and daily surrender his/her life to God, to create in each student a firm conviction that the Bible is the Word of God and their guide for daily living; and to develop within each student a keen understanding of the fundamentals of God's creation, including all the academic studies; to cause within the student's thinking and understanding that Jesus Christ is central in all of these areas; and to instruct the student thoroughly in the arts and sciences that development might be manifested to the glory of God, spiritually, socially, mentally and physically, not in the student's energy, but through new life in Christ.

Minwax Espresso #273
I was picking up some stain samples the other day and happened to see on the shelf a few different Minwax colors that aren't on their color chart, or even on their website. Are these new colors, discontinued colors, or what? I only remember Espresso, Weathered Oak, and a Gray, but there some others.
Anyone know anything about these? Is minwax just bad at marketing that new colors would appear without any corresponding info on the web, or a press release or anything? I suspect that they're discontinued colors, which is why there's no mention of them.
I'm particularly interested in Espresso. We're looking for a dark brown. Darker than Jacobean, but a bit lighter than Ebony.
I've made samples of the other two colors but not Espresso. You might not see a difference on a smaller sample that would be evident on a whole floor or piece of furniture. I'm guessing that this is between Jacobean and Ebony and maybe a bit less red that Jacobean.
PS There's nothing wrong with the quality of Minwax stain in my experience.

New Delhi – The first Oscar to be won by an Indian has made its way back to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Los Angeles. Mumbai-based Bhanu Athaiya won best costume design for Richard Attenborough's multiple award-winning Gandhi at the 55th Annual Academy Awards in 1983. But the 86-year-old, who is suffering from a potentially life-threatening brain tumor, has returned her statuette to the Academy for safekeeping.

Midday Muse: Wallpapered Ceilings
by Home
Like us on Facebook
I spotted these wallpapered ceilings on Point Click Home and loved the look, so I had to share for Dress Your Walls month. Wallpaper adds color and pattern to your ceiling, can celebrate great architecture or perk up a typical, 4-walled room. These images, though, show unusual uses of wallpapered ceilings, drawing the eye to a stairwell, hiding ugly ceiling cracks, and embracing an oddly shaped wall.
How would you use a wallpapered ceiling to make the most of an eccentricity in your home?
Hex 6 years
Everything else in the image is gawd-awful but LOVE the look of the ceiling in the one with the weird door.
coddswaddle 7 years
I'm actually a bit afraid of wallpaper. The initial cost is pretty high for good wallpaper, but if you flub then it's all down the drain. I've actually gotten really adept at murals, stencils, freedrawing, trompes, and faux finished because of my wallpaper-phobia, but I love the colors and patterns that would take me forever to do.
mrspiven 7 years
i have a friend who did this in her little girl's nursery... she put a cute pink striped wallpaper on the ceiling and has polka dots on the rest of the walls. its adorable! but i love these more adult themes, too.

the top picture is the walker art center in minneapolis--that floral pattern is not actually wallpaper, but laser cut panels to disguise the air intake vents. cool nonetheless!

they all look neat. the top one is more my style though.

It's a neat idea & looks really good. I actually like the bottom right one the best. However, after helping my mom take down wallpaper & getting to experience what a pain that was, I would never, never, never, not ever use wallpaper again....never! ;)

I like the bottom one, left side! neat idea

OK, this is not actually an English word. It is manx for "strumpet, brazen woman, whore, minx". What a cool definition - a manx minx!

today's funny
I got my tax return "retuned" I was trying to get a jump on doing my taxes this year, but the IRS sent my tax return back. I guess it was because of my response to the line, which said "list all dependents." I replied 12 million illegal immigrants, 3 million crack heads, 42 million unemployable people on food stamps, 2 million people in over 243 prisons, and 535 fools in the U.s. House and Senate.
Apparently, this was NOT acceotable.
So I sent it back with a question, "Did I forget someone?'
Sadly this is true.
could you add those who made millions exporting american jobs? those who whine about the ill & sick not living on the street? the ones who went to school & sent their kids to school but don't want to pay for the kids who are in school now? those who start charities that employee their kids at 250K a year ( Komen, Tom Delay's charity )?
The fact that people are unemployable....
Does not mean that those of us who are working aren't providing that.
And it's a neccessary solution.
Unfortunately, there are so many who take advantage of the system. it puts a bad taste in the mouths of those who are busting their humps seven days a week and paying almost half to taxes...when so much is wasted on those who "could" do more, plan better, eliminate wants, and treat their government assistance as sacred funds.
No doubt there are also many who desperately need the help who have also got good hearts, are or have been contributing citizens, and who genuinely depend upon those sacred funds. To those, I'm happy to help. Most humans are. Bad apples everywhere though, I'm afraid....
