Always wondered about it, have now seen it. Slightly underwhelmed, since not as grand or extravagant as I expected, but very interesting nevertheless. Have a better idea of who he was and his impact on rock & roll. Slightly pricey admission. Have to ride a shuttle from across the street to get to the house & grounds, but not a problem.

Case and Account Processing Once the Family Court has established an Order of Support (OOS) payable through the Child Support Enforcement Unit (CSEU) it will take several weeks before you start to receive money from Central Processing. The Family Court will prepare the Order of Support, which includes the amount, frequency the payment will be made and forward the information to the Child Support Enforcement Unit (CESU). The case will then be prepared and the account will open. This normally takes approximately four weeks. If the non-custodial parent's employer is known, an Income Execution will be sent to the employer and payments will automatically be deducted from the NCP's salary.
The employer is required by law to deduct the specified amount, specified in the order, the first pay period within fourteen days after the notice is received. The payment is mailed to the New York State Child Support Processing Center in Albany, New York. The employer must forward the payments, no later than, seven days after the non-custodial parent's wages are deducted.
A non-custodial parent is obligated to keep payments current, paying directly to the SCU until the money is deducted from his salary. If the sum is a thousand dollars or more, a hold is put on the check until the bank clears it.
Working for Kids Working for Kids is a program created by DSS in cooperation with Family Court and Schenectady County One Stop Employment and Training Center. The program assists NCP's, who report no earnings to the court, obtain employment . When a NCP appears before the Support Magistrate(SM) and indicates that he/she is unemployed, the SM has the option to order the NCP to report to Schenectady County One Stop Employment and Training Center. The program provides the NCP an opportunity to receive training and obtain employment referrals. The goal of this program is to assist NCP's in obtaining employment so child support obligations can be met.

The horrific situation facing Syria's children, graphically captured by the haunting image of five-year-old Omran Daqneesh, shocked and bloodied in the back of an ambulance after being pulled from the rubble of his home, makes it easy to understand why parents would take their children on the desperate, arduous journey to Europe. But if a child like Omran were to survive the trip and reach Europe's shores, their ordeal would be far from over. Date: 22 August 2016

Reviews for Pumpkin Pecan Loaves
"Delicious! And all items I had in my fridge/pantry, except for the cream. The loaf is also good without the icing (though it gives a grander appearance and richer taste), or the icing could easily be halved because with the given amount is enough to coat the loaves and still have leftovers."
"This has been my go-to pumpkin bread recipe for years. The icing is so delicious and the bread is moist and flavorful. Works well for mini loaves or muffins too."
"Best pumpkin bread. The caramel glaze makes it a special treat, and the loaves raise beautifully. I made it in smaller loaves, and got 6 for gift giving."
"I have made this recipe for years. It is by far the best pumpkin recipe that I have ever had. My family and friends ask me to make this every fall."
"Grandpa's favorite!"
"I need to ask a question and cannot find where to do that. I make this and get raves but would like to put it in small loaf pans as gifts...How many would this make and how long do I approximatelly cook?"
"I found mine took a full 10 minutes longer to test done and I did have some problem with them wanting to stick but the flavor & texture is really good. Next time I won't make as much glaze. You could have done 6 loaves with the amount it makes."
"Rated on taste, I would give these a five but I had to cook mine a full 10 minutes longer to be done and the glaze makes way more than necessary. You could easily do 6 loaves with the amount it makes. I will cut that back next time."
"I make these loaves every year during the fall season and they fill the house with warm, pumpkin-y goodness."

This is just beautiful! Your choice of color is amazing and you did a wonderful job. Your model is precious, too! Thank you for posting your project, it's great to see what other people are doing. (I wish I had the time to start mine, working on an afghan for my mother, though, so I want to finish that first.)

In a desperate finish to the 100 freestyle sprint, Adrian got his fingers on the wall ahead of Australian world champion James Magnussen by 0.01 seconds, the closest margin to a dead-heat in Olympic swimming.
It was impossible to split the pair with the naked eye but Adrian, the first American to win swimming's premier event in nearly a quarter of a century, was awarded the gold in a time of 47.52 seconds with Magnussen second in 47.53.
Canada's Brent Hayden was third in a classic race where the eight finalists were separated by less than a second.
"I almost started crying in the water. This is something that happens every four years," said Adrian, the first American to win the event since Matt Biondi in 1988.
"It's not who swims the fastest time this year but it's who can get their hands on the wall first here tonight."
Magnussen went into the Olympics as the favourite after winning the world title last year and boasting that he would win but said he had learnt a painful lesson.
"I just felt pretty much bullet proof coming into this Olympics and it is very humbling," he said.
"They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger so hopefully I can come out of this a better swimmer but most of all a better person."
Later on, Ryan Lochte, conserving his energy for one of the most brutal challenges in Olympic swimming, safely navigated his way into the final of the 200 metres backstroke.
Lochte won his semi-final in a time of one minute, 55.40 seconds to qualify for Thursday's final second fastest overall behind his American team mate Tyler Clary.
Clary won his semi-final in 1:54.71, nearly seven tenths of a second ahead of Lochte but knowing he will have to be even faster in the final to hold off his team mate.
"The swim went really well. I hit most of the things I wanted to hit," Clary said.
"There are a couple of things I want to work on for tomorrow, namely a couple of my turns and my breakout. I think tomorrow is going to be a pretty good swim."
Lochte is the Olympic champion in the event and the clear favourite to win the gold but faces an extra challenge because he is swimming the 200 individual medley against Michael Phelps on the same day.
China's Zhang Fenglin was third fastest overall in the backstroke semi-finals, just ahead of Japan's Ryosuke Irie, who was runner-up to Lochte at last year's world championships.
Phelps and Lochte both safely qualified for the final of the men's 200 metres individual medley.
The two Americans set up one last tantalising clash before Phelps retires after the Games when they navigated their way through the semi-finals and into Thursday's medal race.
Phelps, who won the 200 medley at Athens in 2004 and Beijing four years later, is bidding to become the first man to win the same individual event at three Olympics.
He beat Lochte at the U.S. trials but finished second behind him in the semi-finals and third overall in a time of one minute, 57.11 although both men will go much faster in the final.
"We love racing against each other," Phelps said. "Neither one of us likes to lose. I like to say we bring out the best in one another."
Lochte was fastest overall in 1:56.13 despite conserving his energy because he swam the 200 backstroke semi-finals just before the medley.
The second fastest overall time was set by Laszlo Cseh of Hungary, who left nothing to chance after missing out on a place on the final for the 400 medley.
"I have a good chance of winning a medal, but there are two good Americans in there," Cseh said.
South Africa's Chad le Clos dead-heated with Britain's James Goddard for seventh. Le Clos upset Phelps in the 200 butterfly final on Tuesday and was so shocked by his victory that he slept with his gold medal.
"I really didn't think I was gonna make it," he said.
"Obviously I'll fight to get that medal, but it will be difficult, a lot more difficult than last night."
FINAL STANDINGS - 100m men's freestyle:
1. Nathan Adrian (US) 47.52
2. James Magnussen (Australia) 47.53

Priyanka Chopra Vs Kangna Ranaut: Who's Better In Krrish 3?
Relationships in the glossy world of showbiz, are known to change overnight. While catfights and bratfights are said to be the part and parcel of every star's life, these spats doesn't exist forever. In similar such case, the rumoured tiff between the B-Town's two hottest female stars Priyanka Chopra and Kangna Ranaut has reportedly ended for good.
There were a lot of rumours and speculations surrounding Priyanka Chopra and Kangna Ranaut's catfight, ever since they did the movie Fashion together. Six years later, all thanks to the Roshans, who brought the two actresses together again with their latest release Krrish 3. With this, many believed that they would get to see the clash of titans yet again, but Priyanka refuted all the guesswork by claiming that she doesn't have any problem with Kangna and that they are good friends.
Both PC and Kangs are seen in pivotal roles in Krrish 3. While Priyanka Chopra is seen playing the role of Hrithik Roshan's wife Priya, Kangna Ranaut plays the wicked vamp named Kaya in the film. Watching the gorgeous Fashion babes together again, the question arising in our minds is quite obvious- Whom do you think did a better job in Krrish 3: Priyanka or Kangna?

Ron Jones likes his new habit.
Two weeks ago he picked up a $10,000 prize for winning a race in Enid, Okla.
Sunday in front of about 800 fans at Scott Brown's Route 66 Motor Speedway, Jones again hit the big money, blasting through the field to win another $10,000 in the A-main of the Best of the West Modified Shootout.
Jones, a Minnesota native, rolled to the main-event win virtually untouched. Lubbock's Monte Bolton took second, with Mike Roach taking third.
Immediately after the A-main, Jones told a fellow driver that Sunday was the slowest A main he had ever won. The dry conditions sucked much of the moisture from the clay track, leaving it slick in every corner. Despite the slick conditions, the 50-lap main event was run from start to finish with no breaks for cautions.
"It was slick all over the place," Bolton said. "You only had one lane where you could run fast, and Ron was so smooth all over the track that you couldn't catch him."
Bolton and Jones started at the front, and Bolton took the early lead. However, Jones found some room to maneuver to the outside of Bolton and took the lead on the third lap of the 50-lap feature.
"We were watching the track all day, and it seemed like that's where the line was, in the middle," Jones said. "Bolton used it to get around me on the start, so I decided to try what he did when I got the chance. It's a momentum thing. You can't run low because you have to pinch it off in the corners and you lose speed. If you run high, then you slide too much. So the only place you can run fast is right in the middle."
After taking the lead from Bolton, Jones and Bolton quickly broke away from the field and ran by themselves by the seventh lap. Bolton made a bid for the lead from the inside on lap 12 but could not make the pass stick and followed Jones.
By the 23rd lap, Jones had begun to separate himself from Bolton and remained alone in the lead for the balance of the race.
"Any time you race in the afternoon, it's going to be slick," Jones said. "You have to find the one line that's fast and stay with it."
Sunday's racing concluded the three-day event. The first two nights were qualifying for Sunday's $10,000-to-win main event and attracted nearly 100 modified cars from across the country. Friday's and Saturday's shows were night shows, and the temperature plummeted into the mid 30s both nights. However, on Sunday afternoon, the sun came out, the wind picked up and the thermometer climbed into the high 80s. The track dried considerably and left drivers scrambling to find the fast line.
Bolton finished second and pocketed $6,000. Roach, from Woodward, Okla., took third and $5,000, followed by Jared Landers from Benton, Ark., in fourth.
Street stocks ran the support race, with Jamey Husky winning the A-main. Kevin Reynolds took second, and Steve Young finished third.
Donnie Raney led the early going but fell out of first when he and Kiff Boyer made contact and Raney spun slightly. Husky charged to the front but lost the lead to Boyer on lap 13 of the 20-lap feature. But Boyer's luck ran out on the 17th lap when a lapped car spun in front of him and knocked him out of first. Husky ran around the accident and was not challenged for the lead during the final three laps.
The weekend's activities at Route 66 were sponsored by D&M Manufacturing and owner Chubb Daniels from Dumas. Brown provided only the facility and employees.

The Dens Park outfit looked set for their 20th defeat of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League campaign after Steven MacLean and Dave Mackay had scored either side of John Baird's reply for Dundee to put them on the verge of victory.
But substitute Mark Stewart stuck in the last minute to give Brown's 10-man team - who lost Declan Gallacher to a straight red card for a last-man foul on MacLean - a morale-boosting point.
The SPL's basement side will face city rivals Dundee United in their William Hill Scottish Cup quarter-final at Dens on Sunday and the new manager claims his side will march into the tie fearless.
He said: "We're not frightened of anybody. United have got a great record. They have got a good team with some excellent players. But it's 11 v 11, isn't it?
"This result gives us a good platform. We have got a few problems like Gary Harkins being cup-tied.
"I've come here to assess all of the players from here until the end of the season and hopefully put my hat in the ring with all the other applications to get the job."
St Johnstone boss Steve Lomas, though, felt his side should have had the three points sewn up well before Stewart struck after appearing to be in an offside position.
Lomas said: "It's very much two points dropped. It can be a cruel game sometimes. We should have killed them off by scoring or through just being professional. Ultimately when you don't kill it off then the other team gets a chance.
"Dundee's goal was a little bit fortuitous but they got it and stuck it away so it's a missed opportunity. With the extra man you've got to kill the game off and we didn't do that. We've done it to other teams. There were some good saves from Rab Douglas but ultimately we should have been out of sight."

What to Look for and Avoid When Signing a Home-Building Contract
If you contract directly with a builder, here's what to look for in the fine print.
So, you have decided to build your own home. You've chosen your layout and have selected all the home's finishes and fixtures. The contractor has indicated that there is just one last item to take care of…signing the construction contract.
Before you sign, it is imperative that you review and understand the contract. The contractor won't tell you this, but you may also wish to (and you have the right to) negotiate certain contract terms. This article offers advice on what to look for (and what to look out for!) in your construction contract.
Why a Construction Contract Is Important
At the most basic level, you want to get the house that was promised, and the contractor wants to get paid for the house being built. The contract serves to reflect this understanding, to make sure there is no disagreement before the actual works begins, and to provide a guide to follow in case a problem arises later.
Most often your contractor will provide you with a contract that's ready for signing. If not, you may draft one or hire an attorney to draft one (never go forward without a contract!). The contract in its original form may have very few terms with very few details, or it may be so detailed and filled with complicated terms that it is hard to understand. Neither of those situations are acceptable. To fully protect your rights, the contract terms should be complete, specific, and easy to understand.
Commonly Disputed Issues in Construction Contracts
Below is a list of issues that are commonly disputed in residential construction projects. If these items are not covered in your contract, be sure to add them. If they are already included, review them carefully to make sure they sufficiently protect your rights.
Scope of Work. This section describes the work that the contractor agrees to perform. This work typically includes obtaining municipal or other permits, and furnishing the labor, equipment, materials, and other services necessary to complete the house. This section also requires the contractor to conform the work to the house's plans (drawings) and specifications, which should be attached and made a part of the contract.
Sometimes, even when contract documents are drafted carefully, they contain conflicting terms in the plans, specifications, and/or the written contract. This conflict can lead to confusion and disputes. For example, if the plans depict a master bathroom with one sink, but the specifications call for two sinks, which is correct? Consider specifying that, in case of conflict between the plans and specifications, the specifications will control. And, in all cases of conflict, the contract should be the controlling document.
Although you may assume it is implied, you'd be wise to make sure the contract includes a statement saying that the contractor must complete the work in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with all applicable laws. That way, if you have an issue with the contractor's performance, you can point to an explicit contract provision that the contractor breached, and rely on this to pursue legal action.
Timing of the Work. You've probably heard horror stories about building projects going off schedule. How do you protect yourself against this? Make sure the contact contains information about when construction will begin, the schedule of work the contractor must follow, and when construction will end (in other words, when can you move in). Extensions of time may be granted for delays caused by:
- poor weather or other "acts of God"
- labor strikes
- payment delays caused by the owner
- inspection delays caused by the municipality
- changes or additions to scope of work agreed to by both parties, and
- other issues that are beyond the reasonable control of the contractor.
While the contractor may be hesitant to agree to it, consider including a provision for liquidated damages. Basically, this provision states that for every day the contractor works beyond the completion date (subject to the exceptions listed above), the contractor will be charged a certain amount. For example, if the completion date set forth in the contract is May 1, and construction is not complete by that date, the contractor would be required to pay the owner a per diem amount for each additional day of construction.
Such liquidated damage provisions protect the owner from delay, and are an incentive for the contractor to complete work in a timely manner. In most states, to be enforceable, the per diem amount specified must be a fair estimation of actual damages the owner might incur and cannot have been actually known at the time the contract was made. This provision is not meant to be a punishment, but compensation to cover costs that the owner will incur due to the delay. These might include costs to store your furniture or costs to rent an apartment during the period of delay.
Payment. This section should clearly indicate what, when, and how the owner will pay the contractor. Because the contractor will likely be relying on payments from the owner to fund the construction, the payment schedule must provide a steady stream of money so that the house may be built in a timely manner. A typical contract will require an initial payment prior to construction. Then, on a regular basis thereafter, the contractor will submit an application for payment to the owner indicating the amount of work completed during that cycle.
The contractor should also submit to the owner signed "mechanic's lien" releases or waivers, from subcontractors who have provided labor or materials. A subcontractor has a mechanic's lien, which is an interest in the property, until he or she has been paid by the contractor for the work or materials provided. So, mechanic's lien releases or waivers provide assurances to the owner that the subcontractor has been paid by the contractor. Though every state has mechanic's lien laws, the laws vary. Consider consulting a professional concerning your state's laws.
Often, the final payment on a project is tied to "substantial completion." The contract might say, for example, that final payment is due 15 days after the house has been substantially completed. This is not problematic so long as "substantial completion" is defined appropriately in the contract.
In some states, the law defines "substantial completion" as the time when the work is complete enough so that the owner can occupy or use the home for its intended purpose. As you will actually be living in the home, you probably do not want the disturbance of much follow-up work. Therefore, consider defining substantial completion in the contract narrowly by listing specific items, or restricting work after substantial completion to minor repairs. Or, if major items remain, the owner should be permitted to withhold payment in an amount to cover such repairs.
Changes to Scope of Work. Sometimes, after construction has begun, the scope of work changes. This could be due to the owner's decision (let's add a built-in bookshelf there!), a requirement from the permitting authorities, or the discovery of an unknown property condition affecting construction. The contract should account for the possibility of such changes by requiring written work orders to reflect changes in the scope of work. Never just tell the contractor, "Sure, go ahead with our new plan," without creating a written work order that both you and the contractor sign. To do otherwise would open the door to additional unanticipated expenses.
Warranty. Although not required in all states, many contracts contain express warranties, describing what types of defects the contractor will take care of later, how long the warranty lasts, your maintenance obligations, and what the contractor is required to do to fix the defects. If your contract contains an express warranty, read it carefully and negotiate the terms if necessary. If your contract does not contain an express warranty, consider adding one to the contract.
If your contract does contain a warranty, it may also limit or waive implied warranties, such as an implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose or an implied warranty of workmanlike construction (available implied warranties vary by state). While most states recognize the right to limit or waive these warranties, courts have refused enforcement of these waivers unless it is obvious to the court that the owner specifically agreed to the waivers. The contractor is not permitted to include the waivers in the "small print" or buried within the legalese of the contract. If possible, do not agree to a waiver of implied warranties, as it will limit your rights to sue in the event of a later dispute.
Dispute Resolution. No matter how careful you are in drafting the contract or how friendly you are with the contractor, a dispute may arise. It is common for construction contracts to require binding arbitration rather than litigation in a court if there is a dispute.
If the contract requires arbitration, you may not sue the contractor. Instead, you must submit a complaint to an arbitrator – an expert in the construction industry who will listen to both sides of the dispute and issue a binding decision resolving the issue. The arbitrator will conduct a hearing where both sides will have an opportunity to present their position on the issue. The hearing will be conducted similar to a court trial. At the conclusion of the hearing, the arbitrator will issue a final decision.
There are advantages to using arbitration, as it is typically less expensive and less formal than a court trial. Also, you will likely have control over the selection of the arbitrator. However, you waive your right to a trial, and unlike a court trial, neither party may appeal the decision. There is no wrong decision when it comes to selecting arbitration or litigation, so long as you understand your rights and limitations.
Attorneys' Fees. Consider including a provision in the contract concerning which party pays attorneys' fees in the case of a dispute. In some states, the successful party cannot recover attorneys' fees unless this was specifically provided for in the contract.
Contractor Default Provision. Many standard contracts contain information on what constitutes breach of contract and how you can assert your rights. If not, you should include a specific provision that addresses contractor default. It is reasonable to allow the contractor a set amount of time to fix or "cure" a problem. In case the contractor does not then fix the issue you can, in order to make sure the construction gets completed, add a provision allowing you to hire another contractor. You should also have the right to suspend work or terminate your contract with the contractor in case of default.
Quick Tips To Protect Your Rights in a Construction Contract
As described above, seemingly simple contract provisions may be surprisingly complicated. Take the time to understand the entire contract, and take the steps necessary to protect your interests, as follows:
- make sure your contractor has a license
- verify with your contractor that he or she is insured (contractor's risk, workman's compensation)
- check your contractor's references and consult the Better Business Bureau for further information
- review any contract the contractor provides to you – make sure it is clear and complete
- consider hiring a professional to review the plans and specifications
- consider hiring an attorney to review and explain the contract to you, and
- most importantly, do not be afraid to negotiate the contract with the contractor.

Can you please add a homepage conditional to insert the missing /?
Can you please add a homepage conditional to insert the missing /?
The canonical link should be set to the permalink for the page in question; is this not working for you? What is your website and how do you have your home or front page set up?
This is an issue with permalinks set as Post name (most popular) on several sites, but I'd imagine it exists regardless for all permalink options.
This isn't an isolated issue, this is a universal problem with WordPress canonicalization that has effected many canonicalization plugins for years now. It often goes overlooked because most people don't see the issue as it's under the hood.
The problem is that the site URL is set as:
Without the trailing slash because all permalinks, folder images, etc provide their own beginning slash to complete the URL:
So, you'd have a proper canonicalization of:
But, for the homepage, when you request:
<?php get_site_url(); ?>
<?php echo site_url(); ?>
<?php bloginfo('wpurl'); ?>
Or whatever, it just outputs http://wordpress.org - which for all other purposes is perfect for WP needs, but in the case of canonicalization, is erroneous.
So, basically, just a simple
is_home or similar conditional is needed to incorporate the trailing slash when needed.
So basically what you're saying is that instead of using the home option or home_url() function, you'd like to see this default to home_url('/') when is_home() is true (and not using a static front page). I think this is correct and I'll see if we can implement this, or if there are any circumstances where this wouldn't be desirable. In the meantime, though, you can do this on your site with the aioseop_canonical_url filter.
Yeah, it's strictly a root URL issue based on either the WordPress Address (URL) or Site Address (URL) settings, or both.
One variable to keep a lookout for is probably when people setup in a sub-directly instead of the root like:
And the like.
I'm not a programmer, so that's probably as helpful as I can be for this issue.
Thanks for looking into this.
I have this exact same issue. My site is at /blog/ but the canonical is /blog. This is a huge issue for Facebook in particular because it doesn't follow 301 redirects so people trying to share /blog/ fail when the Facebook crawler hits it and sees /blog as the canonical and then crawls /blog for the contents of the post which then gives nothing.
I've temporarily fixed this by rewriting the page at the load balancer, but I'll guess that's not something most people can do or know how to do :)

SANTA FE — An ancient Peruvian artifact in the form of a monkey's head given to the Palace of the Governors in Santa Fe in 1995 is heading back home.
The small gold pendant measuring 1-3/4 inches high by 2-1/4 inches wide was to be "repatriated" Thursday during a ceremony at Peru's embassy in Washington.
The small bead has been the subject of controversy amid allegations that it was looted from an archaeological site in Peru.

July 16, 2013
Date Published:
July 16, 2013
"Running a successful fashion empire in Paris and New York that hides the pain of a failed marriage, Timmie O endures a sequence of meaningless relationships before a surprise bout of appendicitis places her under the care of alluring but married French doctor, Jean-Charles Vernier. By the best-selling author of Friends Forever."
First Sight is as complex and compelling as modern life itself. Careers, families, histories, losses, duty, obligation, and fear of losing control and getting hurt. It is a tale of daring to take risks, and losing control just enough to have a life, when the opportunity presents itself. When two very different worlds and strong-willed people collide, everything changes in an instant, as they confront the age-old question of whether to lay oneself bare and risk intimacy—or not. Are they brave enough to face what comes next? And will they do it together or apart?

Howling Wolf
"Howling Wolf" 10 x12″ print from my original ink and watercolour painting, available on Etsy at www.indianblue.etsy.com
This piece was an experiment between three different mediums; pen, ink and watercolour. I've always loved the way watercolour moves, the unpredictability of it makes for exciting creations but ink reacts differently in water to that of watercolour paints. It explodes in water more violently then watercolour and I wanted to capture this effect in my painting, along with the soft exploring nature of the paints. I saw a photo of a wolf calling where the condensation of his howl swirled in the air quite beautifully – I wanted to try and recreate this with the mix of mediums.
Autumn Hare
Commissioned watercolour painting.
I travelled to Venice a few years back and adored the beautiful views there! I had to make at least on painting – this one is painting with oils on a canvas.
The Old Man and the Magpie
What a blind man wouldn't give to see one pretty bird, let alone two. A short story I wrote to remind myself to appreciate and to look at things a little differently from time to time.
The story is mostly true, the old man didn't exist but I did have a frequent encounter with this one magpie, at a time when I really didn't care to see him. One wasn't enough for me to enjoy, I only cared to see two or none at all. In truth, the bird is a pretty gruesome bird in nature, but there was still a fair amount there to admire about it. The situation made me step back for a moment and gave me a much needed change of perspective.
I was spending a lot of time moping in heartache and it took me a while to appreciate that I had the pleasure of experiencing the euphoric bliss of falling in love in the first place. I of course, appreciated it at the time but this was soon forgotten when it fell apart.
I hope you enjoy this short story and if you need a bit of perspective like I did, I hope it helps!
Locked Trunks
'Locked Trunks' 10″x12″ print from original watercolour painting by Samantha Thorley on 300gsm acid free paper.
Custom sizes are available on request (2 weeks lead time required).
"Stag" 10 x12″ print from original watercolour painting.

Bear on Mossy Rock
The featured illustration was a fun experiment in Adobe Photoshop with one of my original ink illustrations combined with watercolour paints and various textures.
Although I love my black and white illustration above, I wanted to see what the bear would look like infused with a palette of rainbow colours – I think it turned out pretty well! I'm a traditional artist at heart but Photoshop most definitely has it's place and is great for making quirky alterations.

A Dance between the Sun and the Stars
'A Dance between the Sun and the Stars' is a very small 6×4″ watercolour painting of two goldfish, gold & black whose bodies symbolise the never ending dance between the sun and stars. I created this little piece for 'The Big Painting Challenge BBC1′. It began with a dance between two goldfish – a sort of ying and yang affair where their tails would connect and the colours would flow from one another. It felt right to develop their bodies into the nights sky and sunrise, the endless change of night and day; both very different yet very much the same.
Phoebe, the Jack Russell
An 8′"x11″ watercolour painting of my aunty's lovely dog, Phoebe – the Jack Russell.
Sloth Puppet Walk Cycle
My first stop motion animation, experimenting with puppet design and simple movements.
Grizzly Bear
Watercolour painting (12″x10″) of a lovely big Grizzly bear.
At the Beach
A commissioned piece.
I love painting dogs – especially when they're as cute as this little pup. They're definitely one of my favourite subjects to paint.
The Wolf and his Moon
Jim at Scarborough Coast
A commissioned piece of a dear gentleman who passed away a number of years ago. His son commissioned me to produce a painting of his father at one of his favourite locations in England as a gift to his mother. This was a lovely painting to make and remains one of my favourite pieces.
Colette in oil paints
Commissioned piece named 'Colette' as a gift to the young girls family from the God mother. Portrait in oil on canvas.
Blue Dancer
Commissioned painting of a young dancer; 14"x18" oil on canvas.
Baytree Owl and Wildlife Centre Mural
I completed a nature mural at the Baytree Owl and Wildlife Centre in Spalding to make the centre more appealing to children. The mural was situated in the 'Conservation Corner' at the entrance of the centre to help welcome and invite customers to begin learning about british wildlife.
I really enjoyed completing this project. Not only because I had the pleasure of exhibiting my artwork in a public place but it meant I was able to do what I love and help support wildlife which means a lot to me. The centre is run by a fantastic bunch of people who truly care about the animals they look after there, if you wish to see some of Britain's most beautiful owls, foxes and birds (and see a nice mural along the way!) be sure to drop by the centre: https://www.facebook.com/baytreeowlandwildlifecentre/?fref=ts

Simply Secure – Inexpensive Home Security Ideas
One of the best ways to describe how a reed switch works is to use a door sensor example. We all know about home security systems and that they detect when doors are opened or closed but not many people know how they go about doing that. One perception that I have when thinking about … Continued

Heatmaps can tell a pretty complex story pretty quickly – and there are few things more complex than the cultural melting pot that is Landan-town.
This map, built by Visualmetaphors from ONS data (so data that's pretty much publically available), is a great example of this.
It's especially interesting that the four different groups referenced have been pulled apart, rather than visualised in the same map – it makes things much clearer, and it isn't too difficult to mentally compare the different maps to find out where, for want of a better phrase, the 'white' and 'non-white' areas are.
It definitely suggests that different racial groups do still congregate together, even in this time of relative equality.
Heat-mapping at its best.
