Cottage History, Cottage Plans & the Romantic Period
A Short History of the Cottage¡.
The term Cottage is supposedly taken from an old Anglo Saxon term, originating from the word cot, meaning hut. Prior to the eighteenth century the word was associated with the meager living quarters used by hired farm workers, indentured servants and serfs in the British Isles. In Scotland the definition for centuries has been that of a home whose front door opened directly onto the living room. Implying that the dwelling was too meager to afford a proper entrance foyer. Whatever the source of the name, the humble cottage in days of old was a small one-story, dirt floor dwelling with walls of local stone, framed with unhewn timbers and roofed in thatch. To add additional room in these tiny homes, the inhabitants often added small dormers to create sleeping areas between beams in the gable space. This arrangement would come to be referred to as a ¡¡ãhalf story¡¡À. No examples of cottage plans from this period are known to exist.
By the mid 18th century the definition of the term ¡¡ãCottage¡¡À abruptly changed when the English Queen Charlotte titled her new country estate a ¡¡ãcottage¡¡À. By 1765 the Oxford English Dictionary had redefined the rural ¡¡ãpeasant cottage¡¡À into ¡¡ãa small country or suburban home¡¡À. Over the next few centuries numerous British writers and poets venerated the cottage in romantic novels, children¡¯s stories and poems. British artists visually depicted the English cottage with quaint romantic settings surrounded by overgrown gardens of roses and flowering vines. As was the fashion of the time, the new bourgeois cottage was a heavily detailed building with medieval and classical ornament of gothic inspired verge boards, wainscoted walls and hand carved moldings. Cottage plans with these intricately designed, decorative touches eventually began to find their way into print and advertisements.
As a result of the Queen and the numerous artistic reverences, thousands of these exquisitely detailed cottages were built in the centuries following Queen Charlotte¡¯s reign. By the Victorian Era it had become virtually a social requirement that families of nobility and affluence own a cottage estate in the country.
In America the cottage and formal cottage plans caught on with the publishing of Andrew Jackson Downing¡¯s classic book ¡¡ãCottage Residences¡¡À, 1842. The popularity of the book and his ¡¡ãnew¡¡À style propelled North America into what is generally called the ¡¡ãRomantic Movement¡¡À of architecture. As in Britain, the residences illustrated in his cottage plans were rich in gothic ornament and always shown in a setting of pastoral splendor. The style became known as the ¡¡ãAmerican Carpenter Gothic¡¡À and remained the most popular in American for some 30 to 40 years before being replaced by another romantic style, the ¡¡ãFrench 2nd Empire¡¡À near the end of the Civil War.
By the early 20th century the moneyed English and the America romanticists had transformed the poetry into reality and the cottage had become what we image it to be, a quaint thatched English Gothic dwelling with dormers, surrounded by an overgrown garden. This image of timeless, sophisticated, unhurried existence, though highly desired, described a life style that was rapidly disappearing by the late 19th century in industrialized England and North America.
The rise of the American middle-class in the early to mid 20th century resulted in a definition change for the quaint gothic cottage. Not missing a chance to cash in on the traditional idyllic image, builders, developers and salesmen of all types soon began to define their products as ¡¡ãcottages¡¡À and a demand for cottage plans and homes had begun. Of course few of these 20th century designs had anything to do with the venerable gothic cottage that the British had so carefully crafted in print, prose and oil. The building booms that followed both world wars served to industrialize the entire home building industry. The elements, which created the cottage and its image, soon were replaced by aluminum and vinyl. Gone were the verge boards, hip-knobs, the hand crafted wood stairs, the operating wood shutters, the wainscot and the cornices. Lawns replaced the wild English gardens.
By mid 20th century ¡¡ãcottages¡¡À and ¡¡ãcottage plans¡¡À were suddenly as ordinary as a three-bedroom ranch. To this day the words cottage and cottage plans in the building industry has come to mean everything and yet nothing. The meaning has been lost in the roar of modern hype. But beyond the loss of gothic cottage plans, the medieval details and the overgrown gardens, the most significant loss was perhaps the craftsman who built them and the architects who designed these quaint English cottages. The craftsmen had been lost to industrialization, the architects to modernism and post-modernism.
Why Historic Home & Cottage Plans...
One could legitimately ask why we specialize in creating new home designs from styles that have been out of fashion for a century or more but we believe there is more to classicalism then style. More to these designs than a period. Since my college days I have lamented the loss of the venerable cottage as it existing in Victoria¡¯s time. Not just the English Cottages but also the Queen Anne, the 2nd Empire, the Italianate and the rest. We have chosen these styles because they represent something almost indefinable that people continue to enjoy and seek out year after year, generation after generation. Something that increases in value with time. Something that you will be happy to hand down to your grandchildren. It might be the artistic detailing or the romantic moment in history they capture but there is something special about these buildings. The Victorian Era was a time when craftsmanship, romance and classicalism aligned to create some of the most beautiful and endearing examples of the residence as an art form.
Some 40 years ago as an engineering student, I argued endlessly on the virtues of Victorian and Classical design with my friends studying architecture at the University of Michigan but I think they and Corbusier won that battle temporarily. They built their big box, monolithic, post modernist world and I built a few dozen authentically detailed historic homes and cottages. I must admit that I feel some redemption when people notice my completed work and say, ¡¡ãIt¡¯s too bad they don¡¯t build them like that anymore¡¡À. This little soliloquy about my past is intended as a note of encouragement to the purchaser of my home & cottage plans and as an explanation of what this web site and my plans are about. These plans are about timeless beauty and human nature as much as they are about bricks and mortar. Unlike the Corbusier followers who have already lost their way, classical architectural beauty will always be more than a passing fad.
Using our many years of design, building and wood working experience we are attempting, via our cottage plans, to recreate the look, the feel and the charm of those quaint little houses immortalized by the 18th century British artists and writers. And, in fact, homes built from our cottage plans do look and feel every bit like those beautiful buildings of old. However we don¡¯t ¡¡ãbuild them like they used to¡¡À. It just looks like we do. After the research and the sketches are completed, our cottage plans are computer designed from beginning to end. Our details are built with modern materials and techniques so they don¡¯t cost an arm and a leg. Our structural design is optimized with the same software that NASA used to design the space shuttle. We use every modern tool necessary to create affordable cottages and homes with livable floor plans and that¡¯s the secret of our cottage plans. That¡¯s also the reason we think you can afford to build a gothic cottage of your own. We have lost the craftsmen. We have lost the architects. But we have not yet lost the war.
We have designed and built a number of cottages along the way, some less than 400 square feet others over 3000. All classically detailed, some perhaps too large to be called a cottage. But the tiny ones are always the most appreciated and adored. Perhaps it¡¯s the public¡¯s love of dollhouses or maybe the cozy environment brings out the evolutionary roots from our days in the cave but whatever it is, it seems the more compact the more endearing. We¡¯ve chosen the small cottage plan concept for many reasons, not the least of which are endearment and affordability, but I also believe it is the best way for me to perpetuate the design and building techniques that go into making a genuine, romantic, classical Victorian. Here are a few reasons you might want to buy a cottage plan from us and build one of your own:
1) Adaptability -These homes are versatile and affordable for small families, retirees, for use as a backyard ¡¡ãgranny unit¡¡À or as a vacation home,
2) Acceptability ¡¡ìC Classical cottages are small but you won¡¯t have to apologize for living in them. They present an elegant and tasteful presence and are appreciated in any socio-economic environment,
3) Expandability - Most of our cottage plans are created to be easily expandable upward into a vaulted attic space for very little additional cost. With a little effort on the homeowner¡¯s part, one can usually add a couple small bedrooms, a bath, a home office, workshop or large storage area.
4) Simplicity ¡¡ìC Our cottage plans are crafted to be built quickly by a very small crew or an owner-builder. These cottage plans offer the non-professional an in-depth description of how to build the basic structure, as well as patterns, illustrations, tool lists and instruction sources for creating historic detail,
5) No Large Tools Required - Our cottage plans intentionally detail the structure with small and easily handled elements, therefore no heavy equipment is needed to construct them,
6) Ease of Pricing - Our cottage plans will allow you to make an accurate cost analysis before you start something you can¡¯t finish. You don¡¯t have to be a construction estimator to determine the costs. All our cottage plans come with a specific list of materials that can be presented to your local lumber stores for competitive pricing on virtually every construction component. And our clear and concise illustrations of construction details leave little room for wasteful errors by professionals or owner-builders,
7) The Price of Classical Detailing - Because of the small size of the buildings, the classical details that make all the difference, are surprisingly very few in number and can be built inexpensively by anyone with reasonable skills, perhaps in his or her basement over the winter before construction begins,
8) Usability on Difficult Lots ¡¡ìC Our cottage plans have very small footprints with minimum foundation costs, allowing them to fit affordably on nearly any lot. They are particularly advantageous on properties needing raised elevations or on heavily sloping lots,
9) Strength ¡¡ìC Our cottage plans are engineered to withstand anything nature can throw at them. Our parent company, Garant Engineering Inc. has been providing structural design services to architects, municipalities and industry since 1979. Our 30 years of structural design experience with earthquakes, hurricanes and floods means you can expect your investment to stand the test of time.
10) Joy of Ownership - Building a small classic cottage offers the chance for you to create a family treasure. A treasure that will look better with age as vines grow up the walls and the paint fades a bit. A home that is made for grandchildren and families but is affordable and maintainable into your retirement years. A home that will appreciate with age and which will perhaps pass on a little of the wonder of the classical cottage.
If you¡¯re interested in building your own Gothic Cottage, bare with us as we transform our historic designs of the past into one you might want to build and live in. We have constructed the first cottage in our new series in the ¡¡ãCarpenter Gothic¡¡À style of Andrew Jackson Downing it was built in Sonoma as part of our new office/residence complex and we¡¯re happy to report that it¡¯s better than we imaged. And it was incredibly easy and inexpensive to build. Check out this and all our new designs in our ¡¡ãVictorian Cottage plans¡¡À section or stop by and see us and we¡¯ll give you a tour.

1. What is NaProTechnology™?
NaProTechnology™ stands for "Natural Procreative Technology," a scientifically-based, ethically-sound approach to treating reproductive health problems, including infertility and recurrent miscarriage.
Unlike assisted reproductive technologies used to treat infertility, such as IVF and IUI in which a woman's naturally-occurring fertility cycle is "over-stimulated" or "bypassed," the goal of NaProTechnology™ is to identify the underlying causes of a couple's infertility and correct them, allowing a couple to conceive through natural intercourse.
Despite the fact that many causes of infertility are correctable, most fertility centers perform only a limited evaluation of the woman's fertility cycle before suggesting invasive procedures like IVF or IUI.
NaProTechnology™, on the other hand, extensively evaluates the woman's cycle. Then, treatments are used which work cooperatively with her naturally-occurring cycle to restore health and normal function, thus optimizing the chance for conception through natural intercourse.
2. What steps are involved with the NaProTechnology™ approach?
With the NaProTechnology™ approach, a woman is first taught to identify and understand the signs of her fertility and to use this information to correctly time intercourse to maximize the chance of conception. This is done through a method of charting the fertility cycle called the Creighton Model FertilityCare Charting System™.
Next, a NaProTechnology physician reviews the woman's Creighton Model Chart for abnormal patterns, which provide clues to why a couple may not be able to conceive.
The Creighton Model Chart is then used to time hormone tests and ultrasounds during the Testing Cycle, which typically occurs after 2 cycles of charting.
Correctly timing these tests is extremely important in the evaluation of infertility. Subtle abnormalities of hormones like estrogen and progesterone can keep a couple from conceiving or lead to miscarriage, and these abnormalities are often missed by the standard infertility work-up. For instance, the standard infertility work-up usually includes testing hormones on days 3 and 22 of the cycle and using this data to "estimate" that a woman's hormones are normal. However, estrogen changes dramatically on a day-to-day basis around the time of ovulation in the middle of the cycle, and progesterone may be "normal "on day 22, but drop prematurely, putting the patient at risk of a miscarriage.
The NaProTechnology™ approach differs from the standard infertility approach in that hormones are tested approximately 10 times during the Testing Cycle, using the Creighton Chart to guide the timing of the tests. Using this data, a woman's "Hormone Profile" can be plotted on a graph and subtle hormonal abnormalities identified and corrected.
Similarly, there are several abnormal patterns of ovulation (the process by which the egg is released from the ovary) that are often missed by the standard infertility evaluation. Some women have a follicle that does not mature completely before releasing the egg, a condition called the Immature Follicle Syndrome. Some women have a follicle that matures completely, but never ruptures or releases the egg, becoming a Luteinized Unruptured Follicle. Finally, some women have a follicle that ruptures, but too slowly, an abnormality that like the Unruptured Follicle, prevents the egg from being released.
Ultrasounds are often done as part of the standard fertility work-up to assess the follicle, but few centers confirm that the ovulation occurs normally. In the NaProTechnology™ approach, a series of ultrasounds is performed during the Testing Cycle to confirm that the follicle reaches normal size and that it ruptures normally. This, too, is timed to the woman's Creighton Model Chart.
During the Testing Cycle, the development of the lining of the womb, the opening of the cervix to receive the sperm, and the quality of the woman's cervical mucus (which creates swimming channels for the sperm) are simultaneously monitored to ensure that all of the events of the cycle which make conception possible are occurring at the appropriate time and in the appropriate fashion.
Additional testing performed as part of the NaProTechnology™ evaluation includes:
*In some circumstances, a special type of HSG, called a "selective hysterosalpingogram," is recommended to obtain more detailed information about the condition of the tubes
3. What types of treatments are used in the NaProTechnology™ approach?
With NaProTechnology™, a variety of treatments are used to correct the abnormalities that are identified during the Testing Cycle. Treatments might include dietary changes, vitamin supplements, medications, bio-identical hormones, or surgery (if indicated).
Hormonal deficiencies are typically corrected using Cooperative Hormone Replacement Therapy with bio-identical hormones. Bio-identical hormones are structurally identical to the body's naturally-occurring hormones, unlike standard hormone replacement therapy and hormonal contraceptives which are not. Treatment is again timed to the woman's naturally-occurring cycle, using the Creighton Model Chart as a guide. Hormone levels and the patterns in the woman's Creighton Model Chart are monitored to ensure that normal reproductive function has been restored. With cycles normalized, couples then use the most fertile days for intercourse in order to conceive.
Once pregnancy is achieved, NaProTechnology™ physicians continue to monitor important hormone levels to ensure that they remain adequate to sustain a healthy pregnancy.
It is also important to note that NaProTechnology™ physicians use some of the same medications as other infertility specialists, but typically at much lower doses and for much shorter courses.
Remember, the goal of NaProTechnology™ is not to "hyperstimulate" or "bypass" the woman's natural cycle, but to provide a gentle "boost" to the natural cycle to restore normal function, a goal accomplished by low doses of some of these medicines.
4. Does NaProTechnology™ treat male infertility?
The focus of the NaProTechnology™ approach is to optimize the functioning of the female reproductive system to maximize the chance of natural conception and reduce the risk of miscarriage. By optimizing the function of the woman's reproductive system, even couples with low sperm counts are often able to conceive.
When a severe male factor is present, NaProTechnology™ physicians work closely with other physicians who specialize in correcting the underlying causes of male factor infertility to optimize the man's reproductive function, even as the woman undergoes evaluation and treatment.
Appropriate referrals and coordination of care with these specialists will be made by the NaProTechnology™ physician at the time of diagnosis of male factor infertility.
5. Does NaProTechnology™ include any assisted reproductive technologies, such as intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF)?
No. The NaProTechnology™ approach follows the guidelines outlined in the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Services, thus intrauterine insemination and in vitro fertilization are not performed.
NaProTechnology™ is a true alternative to these procedures, with comparable effectiveness rates, fewer risks and side effects, and the benefit of helping a couple to conceive through natural intercourse.
6. I'm not Catholic. Can I still go to a Gianna Catholic Healthcare Center for treatment?
The Gianna Centers for Women's Health and Fertility offer scientifically-based, ethically-sound healthcare to all women, regardless of their faith tradition or religious beliefs. Patients are welcome to share their faith beliefs with the NaProTechnology™ treatment team if they so desire, but this is not required, neither is it "forced" upon them. All patients are treated with the same compassion, respect, and dignity, regardless of their faith beliefs or lack of belief.
The Gianna Centers only offer healthcare which is consistent with Catholic medical ethics as outlined in the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Services.
7. Can NaProTechnology™ be used to treat other women's health conditions?
Yes. The principles of NaProTechnology™ are applied to the treatment of all women's reproductive conditions. Other conditions for which there are NaProTechnology™ alternatives include:
8. Will I need surgery?
Endometriosis is a condition in which the cells which line the inside of the womb, called endometrial cells, implant abnormally outside of the womb. Just as the lining thickens, bleeds and is shed on a monthly basis, so do these abnormally-implanted cells. When this happens, it creates inflammation which is toxic to the embryo, the egg and the sperm. It can also lead to the formation of scar tissue that can damage the fallopian tubes, ovaries and other reproductive organs. Endometriosis is thus a contributing factor in as many as 70% of couples with infertility, and pregnancy rates increase dramatically after surgery to remove endometriosis.
The symptoms of endometriosis include: severely painful periods, low back pain during the menstrual period, bowel changes at the time of the period, and pain with intercourse.
At the time of your first visit, your doctor will take a detailed medical history and perform a physical exam. If endometriosis is suspected, and you have infertility or severely painful periods, your doctor may recommend a diagnostic laparoscopy to diagnose and remove the suspected endometriosis.
Other reasons your NaProTechnology™ physician might recommend surgery include:
9. Are Natural Family Planning classes taught at the Gianna Centers?
Yes. The Creigthon Model FertiltyCare System is not only a useful diagnostic tool for evaluating the female reproductive system, it is also a highly effective method of Natural Family Planning.
By learning to identify the signs of a woman's fertility, a couple can then learn how to use this information to achieve or avoid a pregnancy, depending on their goals.
When used to avoid a pregnancy, the couple simply abstains on the fertile days of the cycle. When used in this way, the system is 99% effective, with none of the risks or side effects of hormonal contraceptives.
When the couple is ready to conceive, they simply choose to use the most fertile days for intercourse. Used in this way, 98% of couples of normal fertility will conceive within 4-6 months – 75% of them in the first month they try to conceive!
10. Is NaProTechnology™ covered by my health insurance?
Because the goal of NaProTechnology™ is to identify and correct the underlying medical causes of women's reproductive health problems, NaProTechnology™ evaluation and treatment are often covered by health insurance.
Health insurance plans vary greatly,however, particularly with respect to infertility benefits. Gianna Center staff members are available to assist you with understanding your infertility benefits; however, you are ultimately responsible for understanding your benefits and for payment for any services which are not covered by your health insurance.
We strongly recommend that you contact your insurance company prior to your first visit and request a detailed explanation of your benefits relating to the evaluation and treatment of infertility.
11. There are no NaProTechnology™ doctors in my area. Can you do long-distance consultations?
The Gianna Centers for Women in New Jersey and New York provide care to women from all over the United States. Gianna physicians will work with your local doctors, laboratories and imaging centers to perform the NaProTechnology evaluation and provide treatment. Contact either of our two office locations for more information.
12. Where can I find more information about NaProTechnology™?

WHERE ARE THEY NOW? October 2008
Veroni Was Instrumental in Early Days of Association
By Lacy Lee Baker
Shaped by her own days as a player, former NFCA president Kathy Veroni always put her student-athletes first ... all the while fighting for them and her profession.
How did you get involved in the sport?
My neighbors in Rockford, Illinois, lived in a brick house, so I would throw the ball against the bricks over and over again. I would go to the park every night, and the boys were playing baseball. I would ask if I could play, and eventually, I became the "all-time catcher," with no chest protector and no mask. I never got to bat, but I was in the game. My parents supported my love of the sport. In fact, my mother had played for a softball industrial league in 1943.
Later on, the park district was really on the cutting edge, and it sponsored softball teams for 14- to 16- year olds. We would travel around the city and play. Then, at 16, I was able to play for a travel team called the Rockford Comets. After that, I had the privilege of playing with an ASA women's premier team – the Pekin-Lettes – for seven years.
Didn't ASA legendary coach Chuck McCord coach the Pekin-Lettes?
Yes, and he was very instrumental in teaching me the game. I also was fortunate to student teach under Lorene Ramsey, an outstanding coach at Pekin High School and Illinois Central, and a member of the NJCAA, NFCA and ASA Halls of Fame.
So, you had excellent mentors, and got into collegiate coaching after that?
I was hired by Western Illinois in 1971 to teach seven classes, be the head softball coach and the assistant coach for basketball and field hockey. I was still playing for the Pekin-Lettes in the summer, and at that time, it was at the highest level of competition for women's fastpitch. When we played the Japanese, more than 10,000 fans came to our game.
We had the best the sport could offer, and what my college team had paled in comparison. This was before Title IX, and it was like comparing an intramural team to a professional team. I wanted my student-athletes to experience the sport at the same level that I was experiencing, so I decided to form my own ASA team, the Macomb Magic, made up of my college players. I asked six friends to donate $100 each so we could buy uniforms, and bats and balls. We also fundraised by cleaning city hall at night and holding softball clinics. I also used a lot of my personal money. The team lasted for seven years, and six of the players competed for all seven years.
You joined the NFCA relatively early in its development (1987). What were the big issues facing coaches at that time?
It really was a great way for the college coaches to come together to talk about the issues facing us. It was more than 10 years since the passage of Title IX, and we still needed to upgrade our facilities, and have more dollars for the student-athlete in terms of scholarships and operating budgets. We also needed to increase our own salaries and have money to hire assistant coaches. The association afforded us the opportunity to have many voices speaking the same message.
It was all about the need to better our student-athletes' experience in the sport through us. The coach was the vehicle of change, and many of us had experienced competition at a very high level on those ASA teams. Our coaches gave us that gift. The NFCA gave us a platform for sharing so we could give that gift to our own athletes.
We used to hear from some coaches that we had too many meetings at our convention, but they were necessary to move the sport forward.
How do you think the sport has progressed?
We've made tremendous strides, but we are still far behind men's sports. Even today, you can't go to a school and see a softball field that is better than a baseball field. There's still no comparison in coaches' salaries in the two sports. And, there's still very few opportunities for the female student-athlete to continue her playing career. It's sad to see a 22-year-old player have to leave the game at the peak of her athletic excellence.
I'm worried about travel ball as it is today. The kids play too many games, and it's too hard on them physically. I do like the fact that the players have coaches who are willing to coach and travel with them, but I think more time should be spent on learning the funda- mentals and less time competing in five games in one day, for instance.
I am also very, very proud of what the NFCA has accomplished in its 25 years. I think the hiring of full-time executive directors had the greatest impact on the association, and I give credit to Rayla Allison and you for moving the association forward.
Thank you, Kathy; that really means a lot coming from you. And, by the way, I have another question about you as a coach: what did you go for – power or speed?
As a player, I may have invented the slap since I never got the ball out of the infield. I had an .800 batting average one year. So, as a coach, I leaned toward recruiting more home run hitters because I never was one.
You coached for 34 years. What words of wisdom can you share with younger coaches?
• It's all about execution, whether it be offense or defense. I believed in the teaching of fundamentals and polishing where needed.
• In sport, many things are contagious... winning, good attitude, class. I would try to nurture those things.
• I would never yell at a player in public. When you see a coach raise his or her voice, that's not coaching. You should treat others the way you would want to be treated.
• I am the person today because of all the mentors I had. Coaches sometimes have to be parents and exhibit high morals and values. The student-athlete is not going to be fielding ground balls for the rest of her life.
• I do a lot of gardening, and I even have the title "Master Gardener." Coaching is a lot like gardening since the coach has a watering can and can sprinkle "hope" just like the gardener sprinkles the water. Then, you can just sit back and enjoy watching your players grow and develop.
Now that you've retired from coaching, what takes up your time?
I am perfecting my golf skills and spend- ing more time with family and friends. I still live in Macomb but travel often, and I also enjoy camping, carpentry and making videos. I recently produced one on a friend who had passed away and another for a 50th wedding anniversary.
Right now, I'm sitting out at a campfire, and we just took the brats off the grill. There's a bright blue sky, and sweater weather is upon us in mid-Illinois. Life is good.

The tales told by minstrels in the courts during the Middle Ages are called romances. The nobles of Europe lived in lonely castles. There were few books to read, and travel was difficult. In such a life visitors were eagerly welcomed. Most welcome of all was the minstrel, or singer. The family would gather around the fireplace of the great hall to hear the minstrel chant his thrilling tales.

CHE (Campaign for Homosexual Equality) submitted a motion on a Statute of Limitation to this year's Annual General Meeting of LIBERTY (The National Council for Civil Liberty).
The motion had been passed unanimously by CHE in 2008 and CHE has been affiliated to LIBERTY for more than 20 years.
But just submitting this motion has resulted in LIBERTY chucking CHE out – after saying the motion was unacceptable for debate.
So much for LIBERTY
So much for free speech
So much for fair debate
More news later
Money Appeal
All the time we've been operating we've only had our own little bits of money
Plus sometimes £20 or so for doing a talk to a Gay group -
So we've not had a bank account.
But CHE have now given us £500 in a cheque. Ta.
And we've opened a bank account so we can now appeal for funds.
We also now have a PAYPAL account!
NEVER GO GUILTY AND NEVER ACCEPT A CAUTION has been the advice we give consistently strongly. Take a recent case – 2008 – come to us via the gay grapevine – because these are unreported cases.
Tom has a mobile phone that takes pictures and he'd bought a gay soft porn DVD of lads he says were all over 16 messing about sexually. With his mobile phone Tom transferred some pictures from the video. Why ? To test the technology ? To show off in banter in his local gay bar ? For a bit of a lark ? Whatever the reason – that's what he did, albeit that the images on the mobile were not very clear, and of course very small.
Tom then loses his mobile phone – but some kindly stranger finds it and hands it in to a police station. By using numbers in his address book the police find out this mobile phone belongs to Tom and where Tom lives. The police however, ever enterprising, had a little look at what else was in the mobile's memory – and up comes Ye Porn.
Now although sex is possible between lads over 16 to be legally o.k. under certain circumstances – it is illegal to possess or to take images of them unless they are over 18. So four officers make a call on Tom, in plain clothes. They point out to Tom his possession on his mobile of illegal material – but suggest they won't prosecute because he wouldn't want that, would he – with the attendant harassment and publicity etc. – if he accepts a caution, they will not proceed.
Tom seizes at the caution – "Yes" and he is formally cautioned. BUT, but within that caution comes a requirement to sign the Sex Offenders' Register and that means his employers are notified. He works as a cleaner at a school and he is sacked.
When a caution is issued it's rare to have your lawyer present. Tom didn't.
And there is virtually no appeal against a caution. In theory one could take a private prosecution against the police – that one was cautioned under duress. What chances of that succeeding ?
In Tom's case the evidence was so slight it is doubtful the police would have succeeded in persuading the CPS to make a prosecution – and doubtful if they did, it would be successful in court.
But The Mounties got their man – just by a caution. There. One understands it takes a lot of nerve to say in effect "go on, you prosecute me." – but a caution these days is a lot more than just a word in the ear. Be aware. Of the cautionary tale of Tom.

The Music Department offers individual lessons on a number of instruments. Each student will be given a lesson time agreed upon by the class teacher (in the Lower School), the relative school heads, the instrumental teacher and the Music Department Head (Mr. Biggs). Most students in Years 7 9 will have to rotate their lesson times across the school week (as is common practice in the UK).
**classes may be available depending on request
Tuition fees
Lessons are usually 40 minutes in duration unless the school timetable prevents this. Each 40 minute lesson costs 30 euros. (If necessary other lesson lengths will be charged in proportion.)
Rental fees
As before some instruments (not piano) are available for hire on the termly charge of Euro 50.00. Please contact Mr. Biggs or the instrument teacher for further information.
IMPORTANT CHANGE please read carefully
1) Once a lesson time has been allocated all lessons will be charged.
2) If the teacher is absent a substitute teacher will be organised or the time made up.
3) If a school event prevents the lesson happening the lesson will not be charged.
4) All other absences for family and/or personal reasons - will be charged. If a student is sick and misses a lesson the teacher will try to make it up, but this may not always be possible and cannot be expected automatically.
Important Advice for parents of Lower School children (especially Year 3 or below).
Starting an instrument at a very young age needs careful consideration. Whilst the Suzuki violin course is specially designed for younger children, other one-to-one instrumental lessons have different implications.
Children will need to be followed AT HOME by parents on a regular basis. If interest flags after a time there is a great risk that the child loses interest, drops the instrument and never returns to it. Many a musical child has started too early and sadly suffered this fate.
I recommend the following points to be considered and asked:
First lesson procedures
After about 2/3 weeks each student will receive a letter with their time, day, teachers name and room location. Teachers contact details will also be given for parents. Not all the lessons will start at the same time so dont be alarmed if some have started and others not. For various reasons some instruments may start later.
Billing procedures
All students taking lessons will be billed at the standard billing times throughout the year (three in total). Payment for the June lessons will be anticipated in May though some adjustments (a conguaglio) may be required later.
An instrumental report will be given out at the end of each term. Every pupil should have a note book and/or manuscript book for practice requirements and weekly messages from the teacher. Parents are encouraged to contact teachers. There will be a mid-year questionnaire for parental feedback. With prior mutual agreement, parents may wish to attend an instrumental lesson to meet the teacher. Any beginner of any age will get a quick report from the teacher after 5 lessons.
Practising and Performing
Parents are expected to supervise this, particularly with the younger children. Pupils are expected to practise every day, (beginners doing at least 15 minutes). Pupils are required to take part in group work when considered sufficiently advanced, as well as instrumental concerts each year in which pupils will perform - i.e. in String Orchestra, Wind Ensemble, Orchestra etc. It cannot be over-stressed how important this involvement in group music-making is.
Instrumental Examinations
The school is a Centre for the examinations of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (see www.abrsm.org). An examiner comes to the school twice a year (November and June) and when a teacher considers a student to be ready to take an instrumental exam the parents will be informed and asked to help ensure serious preparation.
Stopping lessons during the year.
Parents are reminded that teachers require half a terms notice if the student is to stop his/her lessons once timetabled. This will not include young beginners who may be deemed too young after 5 lessons (see above).
Books, music and photocopies.
Wherever possible students should have real music and not just a selection of loose photocopies. I realise that some will be necessary but real music gives the student a sense of pride and seriousness. ABRSM examiners are told to exclude from the exam students entering with photocopies. Although it is not always possible to buy everything, standard volumes and repertoire should be considered an investment.
Please see the contact address of MITAROTONDA at the bottom of this page. They also supply all ABRSM material and have a wide selection of music for all instruments.
Hiring of instruments and music shops in Milan.
The school has some instruments available for hire. The teacher can organise this.
Pianos can be hired from Mitarotonda (see below) and the guitar teachers can give advice about guitars (which are as cheap to buy as rent).
Others shops (see below) have other options including rentals and music.

Delta Air Lines is acknowledging it has longer-term fleet needs beyond the 100 Boeing 737-900ERs on its orderbook scheduled for delivery beginning in 2013.
"We were looking through the decision to go with the 737-900ER for a bridge aircraft," said Delta president Ed Bastian during the carrier's annual investor day. "That is why the size of the order was for 100 aircraft. Obviously we have longer-term needs in the narrowbody category that we're going to address."
Bastian explained that given Delta will take delivery of the bulk of the -900ERs before either the A320neo or 737 Max enters production, "we'll have another opportunity to look at that [narrowbody options]. It [the order] wasn't a comment on engine technology. It was trying to fill a gap in the 2013-2016 timeframe".
He stated that Delta has "the opportunity to go with the Max with our order for Boeing if the Max shows up during that timeframe, but that wasn't a key part of the decision framework".
Southwest is the formal launch customer for the 737 Max, and deliveries of the 150 aircraft the carrier ordered are scheduled to begin in 2017.

I have been remiss in my blogging, and haven't mentioned that I was/am part of the inaugural show at brand new Telegraph Gallery in Charlottesville, Virginia. Besides me (the obvious star), the show also includes upstarts like Michael Deforge, Niv Bavarsky, KC Green, Zack Soto, and a bunch more. Each of us created an original piece of work based on the them "Monstrous."
You can see mine above, entitled "The Hunters." And hey guess what–you can even BUY it, while it lasts, for just $28. It's part of a limited run of 95 prints, 18″ x 24″ on thick juicy paper, 5 color screenprint. I've never done a screenprint before, so some things didn't turn out like I expected them to, in terms of trapping and dot screens and so forth. So you'll be purchasing a real organic piece of artwork right there–that's how art works, baby! And in the process, you'll be supporting a brand new super great gallery and shop, which is worth it all by itself. While you're at it, you should buy the Deforge one too, hot damn that thing.
Also new is that jam up there, "IN THE WOODS" a limited giclee that should start shipping any day now, and which you can buy right now RIGHT NOW. I'm super proud of how this turned out–the proofs looked amazing. Many thanks to my girlfriend Kate, who had a lot to do with the overall color scheme, especially the excruciating endgame where I usually just cry myself to sleep after trying forty billion different color combinations. Great to have a smart pair of eyes to help with that.
Two prints! Get up on it, print lovers.. if you dare…

Safe haven for endangered flowers
Posted By Rachel Neiman On March 27, 2014 @ 4:40 pm In Israel in Pictures | No Comments
The Jerusalem Botanical Gardens is a 30-acre haven of biodiversity in the heart of the new city. Garden highlights include a colorful indoor tropical conservatory, a Plants of the Bible trail, a herb and medicinal plant garden, and an African savannah grass maze. The Gardens run a variety of festivals and activities throughout the year, as well as a kosher lakeside kosher restaurant and a large plant nursery.
To celebrate the flowering season, the Jerusalem Botanical Gardens has shared some rare plant photos — only a fraction of the 10,000 species that make up the largest plant collection in Israel.
Papaver decaisnei, a rare annual poppy
Enarthrocarpus arcuatus, a rare annual of the Carmel coast and Acco coast
The garden's first Paeonia mascula (peony) to bloom this year
Left: Romulea columnae. Thousands of this extremely rare plant were rescued from coastal road construction and given to the botanical gardens in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
Right: Moenchia erecta, a tiny rare annual from the northern Golan and northern Galilee.
Seedlings of Eriolobus trilobatus tree seedlings.
Papaver decaisnei poppy in bloom.
According to horticulturalist and scholar Sara Perzley, "Many visitors to the Jerusalem Botanical Gardens have strolled past the beds of rare and endangered plants. What they may not have realized, however, is that the contents of these beds represent only a small fraction of the Gardens' total collection of rare plants.
"The collection serves as a living gene bank for rare species, and occasionally some of the plants grown in the nursery are given to nature reserves in Israel to bolster or replace populations that have been diminished or lost.
"So far this year, 127 rare species have been sown, spanning the alphabetical gamut from Acinos rotundifolius to Ziziphora tenuior."
Most endangered Israeli native plants are listed in the Red Data Book: Endangered Plants of Israel, a catalog of the 413 plant species that are most under threat. Published by the Israel Nature and Parks Authority, it can be purchased online at http://shop.parks.org.il.
During the Passover vacation, the Jerusalem Botanical Gardens will be open, free-of-charge, April 16-20.4.14; Wednesday and Thursday April 16-17, 10.00-17.00. (Gates close at 16.00); Friday and Sunday April 18 and 20, 10.00-15.00. (Gates close at 14.00). For more information: http://en.botanic.co.il/

I'm having a lot of trouble getting this to work. I have installed and removed it a couple times, including going into the database and cleaning out the entries, creating new sites, etc.
- I set up a clean site with SimpleScripts
- My WP testing site is: http://example.com/testsite
- I deactivated and deleted all other plugins, then installed WordPress-https
- I set the secure host as per BH documentation to: secure.bluehost.com/~example <--- actually it's ~username
- left the port field blank - that uses the default 443 right?
- saved
(the first time I installed it, the page never finished saving, but it has done so ever since.)
- logged out
- went to secure.bluehost.com/~example/testsite/wp-admin
--> it went to http://example.com/testsite/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Ftestsite%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1
-- I logged back in fine.
- when I check the Force SSL Administration page and save, I get sent to:
and am told "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"
- I get the same message when I go to http://example.com/testsite/wp-admin
- when I go to https://example.com/testsite/wp-admin or https://secure.bluehost.com/~examples/testsite/wp-admin I just get 404s.
- the weirdest thing is, I think I was getting that redirect loop people have mentioned instead of being able to log in initially. When I first installed it, I was getting the SSL site with a lovely bright red address bar in IE due to the shared address (which is fine for my use) and it just redisplayed the login screen.
I deleted the plugin & database contents and tried again, and got the above results. Then I completely deleted the site and all folders and database, and reinstalled WP from scratch and still got the above results. I suspected something is still being retained by bluehost, somewhere, but I created another new site in a different folder and still get the same results. I'm baffled now.
** The plugin REALLY should clean out the database entries when deleting itself! Reinstalling, it grabbed all the entries from the first time and locked me out again. Blech.

6/18/2015If this game wasn't hard enough, the controls make it near impossible past the 10th level. FAIL.
6/16/2015It fun but jt should be free
3/6/2015Simple and fun, controls are well suited to a touch screen, although the game might only last a few hours.
2/6/2015Get this game!
12/13/2014Update: The Windows Phone 8.1 update fixed the lag issues on my HTC 8XT! Five stars now! ***** I thought maybe the last update would fix the lag on my HTC8XT but sadly it did not. Hopefully something can be done about the lag on level 10 forward as it makes it unplayable on my HTC8XT. The first 9 levels are awesome and I wish I could play more.
5/7/2014Need update more levels
3/31/2014Ok game

Tea Lounge in Manhattan
I am looking for a place to have people get together and try new teas while listening to a short oral presentation. A rough count is about 30 people. I've looked into T Salon in Chelsea Market but don't know much more on it. Suggestions?

Project:Clayton Street
This repeat client is tackling their Dewey Beach townhome in stages, with the goal of this project to renovate the third floor bedrooms and bathroom. Working together closely with our design team they completely updated the space and incorporated contemporary style into the owner's suite. Design touches included stainless trimmed recessed lighting, modern bathroom fixtures, and new flooring throughout. We can't wait to hit the next stage with our friends at this house and finish this phased renovation process by tackling the kitchen!

Starkville School District officials unveiled a first glance at an almost $43 million Fiscal Year 2012-2013 budget Tuesday during its regular monthly meeting.
The tentative budget, which allocates $42.98 million toward expenses and plans for $43.8 million in revenues, prepares for a $3.2 million shortfall in revenues compared to the previous fiscal year.
SSD Comptroller Rob Logan noted school district officials still have yet to see hard ad valorem figures from the county and said these numbers are due July 1.
"We're fielding less funding from the state and possibly also from ad valorem," incoming Superintendent Lewis Holloway said. "We've got to come up with the right staffing formula to live within our means."
Holloway said cuts are possible for the future and, if needed, would be done through attrition. Action toward a millage increase would be a last-resort option, but Holloway said signs show the local economy is improving.
The board has scheduled a public budget hearing for 6 p.m. June 19 and will hold its regular July meeting early at 6 p.m. on June 26 to adopt the incoming fiscal year budget. Trustees will also hold a school board retreat 4:30 p.m. Thursday at Noxubee Refuge's Larry Box Center. During the retreat, Holloway said the board will discuss longterm plans for facilities, technology and future financing.
Although SSD officials face a more-stringent budget than last year's, the district plans to bring in two new learning programs, three additional teachers — one at Ward Stewart Elementary and two at Armstrong Middle School — and approximately 25 Smart Boards with its district maintenance fund.
Teachers will begin using Pearson Reading Streets, a language arts program for kindergarten through fifth grade, and Singapore Math, third grade-only, next school year at a projected cost of $245,000. The board approved purchasing textbooks for the programs Tuesday, using a portion of this year's budget and the incoming budget so teachers will have the necessary materials to begin the school year with the programs. Funding allotted for the programs in FY '12-'13's budget will be shifted to cover the district's FY '11-'12 impact with the vote.
Without early action, Holloway said teachers would not have the materials by the time school starts. School representatives say both programs constitute highly vetted programs which will better educate students and allow more organization and common-core focus for teachers.
Administrators also tentatively plan to add almost 500 computers and 10 buses over the coming years with a combination of district maintenance, Title 1 and EEF buildings and buses funding.

Hello everyone! I just finished up a new site & I would some feedback on it. I am happy with the way it turned out, but I have noticed a couple of issues with ie compatibility mode that I don't know how to solve. Any help with those would be much appreciated.
New Site
That width is way too wide! Remember there are people using monitors with a resolution MUCH smaller than 1600px!
It's too wide even for me, even though I have a 23″ monitor because my browser doesn't take up the full screen.
Other than that, I think you did a great job at keeping the file sizes down, it was speedy to load when I thought it would lag. Everything functioned well and I wasn't frustrated!
So, great job but that width thing is a big no-no for me.
It is definitely too wide, but the main issue is on my laptop, which is 1366 x 768, rather than the layout be centered, it is all pushed right with horizontal scroll bars…the design itself looks nice though, just a few fundamental things can be adjusted…
Looks really nice at ~67% zoom. The column scroll is rather nifty. Consider using a lightbox for the featured home pics rather than jumping to a new page. A page with a single pic seems just a little too bare.
Why did you include document.ready in your functions? Shouldn't you call your function(s) from document.ready? Kind of flipped around. Don't forget about expire headers.
I would also add a "clearfix" solution to your div#landscape. And like in my previous suggestion, if you contained just the content of your header and footers in containers, and then used the actual header and footer with the backgrounds and set them to 100% so they would repeat.
I really enjoy the design overall though.
Oh also, the serif font on the phone numbers, maybe this is just personal opinion, but the numbers don't line up and I would rather see an even baseline on them.

Five-layered W/Cu functionally graded materials with fine grain sizes of 0.2, 1, and 7 m were fabricated by resistance sintering under ultrahigh pressure. Microstructure analysis found that they have a good graded composition distribution and mechanical properties. After about 2000 s edge plasma exposure in the HT-7 superconducting tokamak, the results indicated that the fine-grained tungsten can enhance mechanical strength, and it is favorable to hold back crack propagation and growth; however, the effects on impurity deposition and compound formation were not obvious.

Motorola has found a way to make the keypad on a cellphone give tactile feedback without wasting space on bulky vibration motors (patent application EP 1503272).
The company's answer is to coat the phone's buttons with an electroactive polymer - a soft rubber with carbon nanotubes embedded in it. Applying a voltage induces stresses and strains in the bonds between the nanotubes and the rubber molecules, which can be felt. In Motorola's phone, the keys are fed a varying voltage that makes them vibrate gently to give tactile feedback.
Passports can easily be doctored, says security printer De La Rue of Basingstoke, Hampshire (GB 2404627). All a forger has to do is cut round the laminated photo with a scalpel, apply heat to soften the adhesive, peel off the picture and replace it with another.
De La Rue says injection moulding is the answer. ...

"Party of four! MJ is here....Megan Joy "Meg" Martin arrived this morning, and we're in love," the post read.
She joins the ongoing list of local TV reporters and anchors who have delivered this year and are expecting soon.
Fellow Fox 26-er and traffic anchor Michelle Merhar had her baby in March 2013. In addition, Fox 26 weekday morning anchor Chris Stipes and his wife, ABC 13 KTRK-TV's Elissa Rivas, are expecting their second child.

Top message: Poor Signal in Metal Buildings by jmnsctt
Replying to: Re: Poor Signal in Metal Buildings by cellphonesaretools
cellphonesaretools said:
Glad to hear that US Cellular has good in-building coverage where you are. But if so, it is only because of the way they built out their network, carefully choosing antenna sites for good overlap between cells, and/or possibly offering to install in-building repeaters inside malls, large popular stores like WalMart, etc.
None of the wireless providers can get around the basic physics of radio-frequency electromagnetic waves and the attenuation of those waves, so the smart ones invest in their networks with plenty of cell sites, intelligently placed, then maintain them well. That's the ONLY magic to having a good wireless network, regardless of the signal frequency.
These "My carrier works better in metal buildings than yours" arguments get tiresome!

Nairobi — The Jubilee Alliance plans to hold a major rally at Uhuru Park on Saturday ahead of joint nominations scheduled for next Thursday.
In a statement sent to newsrooms on Monday, the coalition said it would formally launch its poll bid and unveil Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta as its presidential candidate with William Ruto as his running mate.
The grouping will also make public its joint secretariat during the rally.
"The Saturday event comes at a critical time when members of the coalition partners are preparing for joint nominations and sets the stage for the primaries scheduled for January 17, 2013," said the statement.
Kenyatta, in the meantime, spent Monday on the campaign trail selling his bid in various parts of Kisii and Nyamira Counties.
"The reform process does not belong to an individual, but to the 40 million Kenyans. And this process must improve the livelihoods of all Kenyans," he said.
The deputy premier held a meeting with youth leaders in Kisii town where he emphasised the need for a banana factory and working soapstone industry noting that they would best cater for the interests of the region.
Kenyatta later joined Ruto and others at Egutuki.
The duo was accompanied by Cabinet Ministers Sam Ongeri and MPs Wilfred Ombui, Walter Nyambati, Mohammed Hussein, Danson Mungatana, Aden Duale and Rachel Shebesh.
They entourage also toured Ogembo, Itumbi, Igare, Gesusu, Keroka, Nyansiongo, Chepilat and Manga areas.
"The March election is about issues and numbers. Jubilee is a national movement with leaders and supporters from all parts of Kenya. It will, therefore, form a national and inclusive government," said Ruto.
He further pledged that the Jubilee Alliance would set up a special fund for youth and women to draw free-interest loans that would not require title deeds and logbooks.
Ongeri expressed confidence that their coalition will capture the presidency, promising Kenyans in the region that their interests would be safeguarded.
"Voter numbers speak for themselves. Uhuru's and Ruto's strongholds add up to over six million votes. It is therefore clear where the people of Kisii should and will go," he said.
Duale challenged their opponents to focus on issues of development saying a Jubilee win would ensure that Kenya prospers economically and socially.
"This is a message to our competitors... we are presenting a presidential and deputy presidential candidate who have a track record. Let them also show what their record is," he urged.
The group also asked Kenyans to maintain peace before, during and after the elections saying Kenya was bigger than individuals.
"Politicians must never again be allowed to cause violence and then go to Nairobi to make deals over power. The election period will pass, but Kenya must remain," noted Kenyatta.

Just watched the "Creating the blog home page" on lynda.com and you mention to use query post to display the latest 5 blog posts. However, if I have 6 post and hit the "older entries" link, the lastest 5 show up again and NOT the 6th one.
In other words, pagination doesn't work with query post. Is there a fix for this? I am wrong? I'm googling now, but thought you might want to know.
Check out this podcast. Chris covers basic pagination here.
Thanks. I was having a hard time working with offset. It wasn't really working for me. I found this great though!
Here is my solution btw:
< ?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; query_posts("posts_per_page=3&paged=$paged"); ?>
< ?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

Selena Gomez may have cancelled shows due to Lupus
Late last month, pop singer Selena Gomez announced a slew of show cancellations on her "Stars Dance" tour, prompting some to speculate that she was taking personal time to battle stress and possibly enter rehab.
After all, early in December, she threw a fit and dropped the F-bomb after one of her shows suffered from technical difficulties.
According to The Huffington Post, however, the 21-year-old may be suffering from Lupus, an autoimmune disease that "cause[s] facial swelling, extreme fatigue, headaches and joint pain."
Sources allege that Gomez was diagnosed a few years ago and that the disease had flared up in recent months.
A rep for Gomez issued a "no comment" when asked about a Lupus diagnosis, while another source was adamant that the singer was not having a mental breakdown, but instead, just needed "a little break."

A thief who stole a laptop out of a car was caught after being tracked by Kaseya's remote management tool.
In June, Navigatum had a client in Melbourne that reported it had a laptop stolen out of a client employee's car.
The team moved to set up some alerts using Kaseya to see if someone was the using the computer.
One of Kaseya's tech support guys shared some scripts on how to get some screen grabs and even web-cam pics from the stolen laptop, all unbeknown to the thief.
Following these instructions, Navigatum was able to set up an alert so whenever the stolen laptop logged in to the internet the software would send him an email.
Navigatum installed the Kaseya agents that then allowed it to connect to systems and to backup and provide scripts.
"Towards the end of June the system started reporting back; somebody was online," senior network technician David Stevenson told CRN.
"We were able to grab screenshots, he was getting online at all weird hours at one or two in the morning.
"It was towards the end of July that he started logging in to his Facebook account the keyloggers tracked his keystrokes and we were able to check it out.
"We sent it to the police and within an hour they caught and charged the implicated [person]."
Two other offenders were also caught, he added.
Stevenson said the Police were helpful and his client was stoked. "They had written off the laptop and insurance didn't cover it either," he said.
