Respected academics Daryl Adair and Mike Cronin have written on the history of the 'Wearing of the Green', and Cronin published a useful piece in Time this week on its evolution - noting how the USA invented (the celebration of, at least) St Patrick's Day. I saw this myself last year when I found myself in Brooklyn on March 17th, and it provided a stark counterpoint to what St Patrick's Day was like in Birmingham, where I grew up, in the 1970s and 1980s. However, thirty years ago today the 17th March had a different resonance for me, and meant a group of Mancunians, themselves partly of Irish lineage, The Smiths, appearing at Birmingham Hippodrome.

It was a strange venue for a gig if I'm honest. It's the only time I ever saw a band there - in fact the only other time I have been there was for Barbara Windsor in Cinderella with my mum in the 1970's - perhaps I should have called this piece 'Barbara(Windsor)ism Begins at Home' for this was of course a date on the Meat is Murder tour, and the extended work out of Barbarism begins at Home was one of the album's important moments, although of course not its centrepiece. Of that more later.
The Smiths were always a band who demanded the definite article. In some ways I don't think they make sense without it and I took its' use as a statement of intent. A friend of mine, Nigel, took this one stage further with the support band that day, James. They will always be thought of as 'The James' to me in the light of his demonstrative faux pas. In those days I pretty much saw it as a badge of honour to miss support bands whenever I could, but even though it was clear that everyone was there for the main event, it was obvious James were a decent band, I even managed to find a setlist for the night here.

I'm listening to Meat is Murder again now as I write this. I still play material by The Smiths a lot. They have been one of the most important bands in my life and I return to them often- cropping up on playlists, revisiting The Queen is Dead, The Smiths or Hatful of Hollow particularly for example. It strikes me however that I don't often turn to Meat is Murder in its entirety - hearing it again its my loss. Its an excellent album and worthy of re-appraisal. It has no real singles on it - to me This Joke Isn't Funny Anymore was never a proper single. Although history does show it was indeed released as a single and proved to be one of their poorest performing ones hitting the mighty heights of No 49 in the charts. In fact I agree with Jack Rabid that it was the first of their singles that 'wasn't an utter thrill to buy'.

The gig itself opened with 'William, it was really Nothing' (itself allegedly concerning a liaison with the late, lamented Billy Mackenzie) and drew heavily, unsurprisingly, upon Meat is Murder. As noted in the excellent passions just like mine blog, Morrissey changed the lyrics to the Headmaster Ritual that night as a nod to Birmingham, and this is reflected in the title to this blog entry. There was actually quite a lot more interaction with the crowd than noted in passions just like mine - we managed to get to the front and were able to engage him with what some would call witty banter or repartee. There was also a lot of farmyard noises coming from the crowd during the centrepiece title track of the album. Its not their finest offering, but in many ways its their most important. Whilst I have been vegetarian for more than a quarter of a century I can't say its the axis around which my diet revolves it is certainly an important and political song that was a catalyst for many. I heard Noel Gallagher speaking recently and he mentioned that actually lots of The Smiths songs are political, but perhaps not in the overt way of a Red Wedge, Style Council or Billy Bragg, all of which coincided with The Smiths brief orbit. The Smiths did of course appear on the Red Wedge tour (although I think only once, in Newcastle) although Morrissey had been dismissive of some benefit efforts previously, including the Band Aid single of which he memorably noted; 'One can have great concern for the people of Ethiopia, but its another thing to inflict daily torture on the people of England'. See Rolling Stone for some more of his memorable quotes, he has certainly never been shy of courting controversy. The gig was in fact excellent, notwithstanding it was shorter than some other nights on the tour. Looking back thirty years a different question is the relevance of The Smiths all these years later. After the demise of The Smiths they initially suffered a backlash of sorts, even Creation band The Times in their Madchester cash in/social commentary (delete as appropriate) Manchester exhorted that a clarion call for The Smiths in the clubs and discos of Manchester should be greeted with a response of 808 State. Indeed the famous 'Burn down the Disco' line of Panic was particularly inflammatory, and Morrissey of course did nothing to dampen the flames. What strikes me listening to the album again though is the absolute brilliance of the lyrics. It might even be my new favourite The Smiths' album. Relevant? Gasping - but somehow still alive.Guy Osbornhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7288941727220041890.post-19017041609316764532014-06-26T01:14:00.000-07:002014-06-26T01:14:19.814-07:00Stone is the Name of the Rose

In June 1989 I was living in South London and had just finished my summer exams. Looking back 25 years ago, it was a pretty amazing time on all sorts of levels. The events in Tiananmen Square, with the military intervention in response to mass protests had taken place and whilst the Berlin Wall was yet to fall, the border was beginning to be more regularly breached and revolution was in the air. As if capturing the zeitgeist, The Stone Roses' debut album had been released in May, its cover famously including three slices of lemon, allegedly as an allusion to a reference a guy made to Ian Brown that lemons could be used as an antidote to tear gas.

The Roses' album was a seminal event for me, and their gigs were life affirming. I had actually seen them quite a few times before the album came out and I'll blog about these another time. This entry concerns 4 The Stone Roses gigs, in the space of five days, beginning on the 26th June, a quarter of a century ago today. I haven't got all the ticket stubs for this unfortunately, but I have got a page of the photo album I used to stick my ticket stubs into which has three of these (the date of the Birmingham one is wrong as this was a re-arranged date). I've also put the cover of this important social document at the top of the blog as a sort of teaser of what might come in the future. The Stone Roses page is below.

The tour for me, along with fellow desperado Tim Worth, started with a trip to Bristol on the Monday to see them play the Bierkeller. Having just done a quick search a bootleg of this, along with a setlist, is available here. In fact the blog Spiral Through Another Day looks well worth a proper peruse as there seems to be lots of material to mine there, and whoever put this together obviously loves the Roses. Most of the gigs I saw that week went by in a haze, although Bristol was memorable for me as I was carried 'backstage' after being crushed on the barriers at the front. Tuesday saw us driving to a place where I didn't even know they had a music venue, Stratford upon Avon. Now obviously growing up not far from there I knew it had a theatre and a lot of good pubs, but it was the first time I had been to the Civic Hall, now known as Stratford ArtsHouse, and the first time I recalled a gig ever taking place there. It was only when googling that it started to come back to me, and whilst no set lists or details appear available on line, I can now exclusively reveal an original setlist from the gig, in John Squire's fair hand I believe, that I took from the mixing desk that night:

The Wednesday was Birmingham Irish Centre, and again a bootleg is available here. They weren't actually on the best of form that night, but three dates on the run may have dulled my senses somewhat. Thursday was a day off, a bit disappointing now looking back and its a pity that we couldn't have sorted out something for the 'missing' date. The gig at Leeds Polytechnic on the Friday allowed me to revisit one of my student haunts, and even get a couple of beers in at my old local the Faversham beforehand. It was great to see some of my friends who I had been raving on about the Roses to, and to meet up in some sort of communal reverie. We met the band outside and asked them what time they were on, Ian was driving the minibus as I recall. A web search does not give much in the way of detail, but I did find a really interesting flickr feed from a guy called David Crausby with a nice photo and backstory. A long drive back to Tim's house in Lichfield, having kidnapped Enda and Helen, and a weekend of heavy drinking ensued.These were actually some of the last times I saw the band, Blackpool and Alexandra Palace followed, and then even Wembley which I have blogged about in passing previously.
The Roses were immensely important for me on all sorts of levels. For my inaugural professorial lecture I talked about the impact the band had, I even played She Bangs the Drums during it, and I still use their case against Silvertone in my teaching. However, when news broke of the 'Resurrection', I may have been tempted for a moment, but it was only a moment, and whereas once it was the future, it was now the past and it was, somehow, out of time...

Now the Manics are a fine live band, and seeing them again got me thinking about previous trips to see them, and I realised that I been going to see them live for over 20 years, longer than my daughter Keir, who is 21 this year, has been alive. My memory is unsurprisingly hazy on some of these, but luckily, as I have previously recounted, my Ticketing OCD means lots of these are documented by tickets, backstage passes or similar ephemera. So a review of some of these brought back some happy, and poignant, memories - the band playing Clapham Grand and covering 'The Drowners' with Bernard Butler, shortly after his mother had died. A trip to Wolverhampton Civic Hall for an intense Holy Bible set, and two of the last three gigs at the sadly missed London Astoria, including my last sighting of the irreplaceable, magnificent Richey Edwards, on the final night of the tour. I was also lucky enough to go their first gig as a three piece, supporting The Stone Roses (and that's another, ten storey, love story, for me to tell another month), and was the last time I saw the Roses - this was the last John Squire gig before the resurrection, and I had no appetite for the reunion. Gigs at Shepherds Bush Empire, The Forum, lots of Brixtons, Knebworth supporting Oasis, and festivals such as Portmeirion's beautiful Festival No. 6 (go, its wonderful) followed, and this gig made me think about all of them. Whilst the final night at the Astoria is undoubtedly the most important in my personal history of MSP, another gig, which took place 17 years ago today made me think about another distinctive gig. Unfortunately I don't still have the ticket for this - a terrible admission I know, but this is one trip where I have some other evidence, and, hopefully a backstory of interest too.

Sometime early in 1997 the Manics announced what was to be their biggest gig to date at Manchester Arena. There was a lot of interest in taking a trip up there from friends, but in the end it was just the four of us (Enda, Helen, Allison and myself) who took the train from London and booked into the Midland Hotel. After a lunchtime drink or two, Enda and I decided to go for a swim and were taken aback to meet the legendary Mr N Wire in the lift. This led to the somewhat surreal afternoon of a jacuzzi with the great man - the only time I have ever had a jacuzzi with someone who has both an Ivor Novello award and a Number 1 hit single, in addition to a love of hoovering. He was understandably a little apprehensive about the gig and later Nicky admitted that this concert was when he knew the Manics had 'made it'. Apart from very under-rated Mansun, support that day included a then largely unknown Embrace, with only one single to their name, opening the evening. For reference, Nicky liked their first single which had just been released, the re-recorded version of their debut is here. A Manics setlist, unverified, appears here and the set was immortalised in the video/DVD Everything Live. As we left the gig we saw a fantastic, and very clever billboard - 'Manic on the Streets of Manchester' - I have searched in vain for photographic proof that this exists to no avail. The next day, before the trip back to London, we did the tourist trip to Coronation Street, then wandered back towards Piccadilly via Canal Street. On the way we passed the Hacienda and took full advantage of the open door to have a look inside during daylight hours, some photos taken outside the now demolished iconic site which has made way for some flats are below ....

Now a different story. Recently whilst in New York I had the pleasure of meeting Mike Garry, a poet and a diamond of a man, who has been called the poet laureate of the North. Check out his fantastic work with the Stroke Association that I blogged about recently too. I had missed Mike's gig supporting John Cooper Clarke at the Shepherds Bush Empire the week before - in fact I saw him hailing a taxi as we arrived, and later tweeted him to say I was sorry I missed him. I found out he left early because he was in fact flying to New York the next day to appear at the Carnegie Hall with New Order, Iggy Pop, members of The National and others as part of a Tibet House Fundraiser. As you do.

Amazingly, he was happy to meet up and we met at Bonbonierre, a great diner on Eighth Avenue in Greenwich Village. This is just around the corner from the White Horse where we went to channel the ghost of of Dylan Thomas some time later, but in fact found Guinness of overpriced tourist proportions instead. I had seen Mike perform at Festival Number 6 and had loved it, and we talked about lots of things, but was blown away to be given a pre-release copy of a collaboration with Joe Duddell, based around the New Order classic Your Silent Face, entitled 'St Anthony. An Ode to Anthony H Wilson' This is based around a poem Mike wrote about the late Tony Wilson who died in 2007, but is really a love song to Manchester. I was sworn to secrecy and asked not to spread this around and I have been as good as my word - but its been difficult as its one of the most inspiring, and beautiful things I have ever heard. As if it couldn't get any better, its in aid of the Christie Charitable fund, Tony was of course treated for his illness at the Christie and hopefully it will be released soon and everyone with a heart, a soul, and an ear for something beautiful, meaningful, poetic and heartfelt will buy it.

'St Anthony, St Anthony, please come round...'

Strangely that trip to Manchester 15 years ago today was the closest I ever got to Anthony H Wilson. He was eating, alone, in Mash and Air where we popped in during our post-Hacienda Sunday afternoon stroll to the station. As a callow youth I had written to Factory Records asking all sorts of inane questions - I loved the Factory image, the ethos, and of course the bands, and I remember receiving a package, including a lovely hand written letter from the late, lamented Rob Gretton replying to my queries. Acts of kindness like this, from people like Rob, Chris Sievey (who I had a long series of correspondence with as a 14 year old, documenting his metamorphosis) and even Alan Horne of Postcard Records meant so much to me at the time. So I never spoke to Tony Wilson, I never met him, but after that seminal Manic Street Preachers gig saw him for the one and only time. I think Mike never spoke with him either, although he would undoubtedly have been at events and places at the same time as him over the years. Two days after I met Mike, on our final day in New York we went out early in Brooklyn to catch the Manchester United Liverpool game at the Black Horse. I won't mention the score, but there, out of nowhere, on the wall, was the face, if not the voice, of Anthony H Wilson.

'St Anthony, St Anthony, please come round

because something is lost, that cannot be found'

I have really enjoyed Letters of Note and its occasional tweets on often very poignant letters, in fact I liked it so much that I bought the book for my partner for Christmas. It got me thinking about my own personal treasure trove of oddities, the gig tickets I have collected over the years since my first foray into consuming live music at the age of 14, with the magnificent XTC, something that I have blogged about previously. The Letters of Note series got me thinking that maybe I should use these tickets in a similar sort of vein, and use them as a point of departure to discuss other issues related to the event, the date, the band, the venue, or something else completely unrelated. I would call this Tickets of Distinction, a name with its own indie reference points but partly a homage to the Letters of Note idea. So, this is the first in an occasional and irregular series of posts that will celebrate, or commemorate a gig from the past. Who knows, maybe one day it will be a book too.

On 10 April 1992, 22 years ago today, Allison and I went along to see the Boo Radleys co-headlining with the Pale Saints at the Astoria on Charing Cross Road, now sadly razed to the ground to make way for the Crossrail project. To be honest the Astoria was never my favourite venue, although I have seen some notable gigs there over the years including Richey's last ever gig with the Manic Street Preachers (I'll save that for a post in December maybe!) and even some classics in the downstairs Astoria 2 which was a bit of a fire trap, but the Astoria was certainly an important venue, and central London now lacks a similar sized venue of its type. That day, both of these bands were broadly part of that indie/shoe-gazing scene that was later decimated by the onward roar of Britpop, currently celebrating its own 20th anniversary on BBC Radio 6, and of the two bands only the Boo Radleys achieved much success, later clinging as they did to the hem of Blur, Oasis, Pulp and the rest with their one hit Wake up Boo. The gig itself was enjoyable enough. I had liked Pale Saints, who came on first that night I think, since I first heard their 'Barging into the Presence of God EP', with stand out track The Sight of You. The band had formed at Leeds whilst I was at college there and the song was, allegedly, about a friend of a friend. I liked the The Boo Radleys album Everything's Alright Forever too, it had been critically lauded, although my thoughts that maybe it was an overlooked gem was not borne out by a listen via spotify as part of the research for this piece.

The gig was actually only memorable in that whilst we were in the venue, at 9.20, the Provisional IRA exploded a bomb at the Baltic Exchange, killing three people, injuring 91 others. Elsewhere in London the effects of 45kg of Semtex were also felt, a friend in Clapton reported being knocked off her feet, but we left the venue, some two miles from the Baltic Exchange, in the days before instant media saturation and given the high noise levels inside the Astoria, blissfully unaware of the bombing until the next morning. The site of the Baltic Exchange is now host to the Swiss Re building, better known as the Gherkin and here depicted by Stanley Donwood in his Fleet Street Apocalypse series. Since that evening The Boo Radleys and Pale Saints have long gone their separate ways, the Astoria has been destroyed and the Good Friday Agreement has been signed. London's skyline has changed, and indeed London itself has changed. I'm still going to the gigs though so at least something has remained constant, and this occasional series of posts will catalogue, and celebrate, some of these outings.

Ben is committed and passionate about his work, not only being well versed in new technologies and user experiences, but also in content areas as well derived from his personal interests. I highly recommend Ben for projects big and small. He is able to work quickly, cheerfully, and collaboratively, while stretching resources to the fullest."
Toner Mitchell – The Reel Life
Ben has worked with me on a social media outreach project designed to improve brand awareness of the fly fishing store I currently manage.

In our company's meeting with Ben Simon-Thomas he brought to our attention many strategies to market ourselves in an efficient and focused manner. Ben's ability to look at our individual business and see what corners of marketing we could use were extremely helpful to streamline in a world with overwhelming marketing opportunity. He brought to light many local opportunities we have at our fingertips to use in order to promote ourselves.

Laura Bowyer, President, SolutionMakers, Inc. (Seattle, WA)
"I've had the pleasure of working with Ben for nearly 10 years. Ben has been both a client and a consultant working a client of ours. His ability to seek out efficient ways to manage often complex processes is a great attribute. Ben picks up on technical issues quickly and employs a strong skill of troubleshooting. If you want uncompromising commitment, Ben is the guy!"
John Dewitt, Rankine, Carlton, & Dewitt (Berkeley, CA)
As a CPA who worked closely with Ben Simon-Thomas for close to 10 years, I am certain you will be impressed with Ben's management and organizational skills, quickness with technical issues and general energy and alertness across the full spectrum of challenges that arise in the management of a business. Ben has a unique ability to recognize important strategic and planning issues, to find good and practical solutions, and clearly communicate with staff and industry professionals like me. I'm certain that Ben's efforts added both to gross sales, net profits and created much practical efficiency that was appreciated by management and workers alike. I'm sure any organization that works with Ben Simon-Tomas will be very lucky to have him and benefit from his management skills and experience.
Patrick Dooley, Shotgun Players (Berkeley, CA)
Ben identified a short-coming in the information gathering process of our small non-profit and designed an affordable, creative and fun strategy for us to both grow our database and make a more personal connection with our audience. He's smart, thoughtful and has that infectious enthusiasm so important when trying to build consensus. I definitely plan on working with him again.
Marian O'Brien, Director Boku Books & Director West Coast Print Center (Berkeley, CA & Seattle, WA)
I am very pleased to be able to make a personal as well as professional recommendation for Ben Simon-Thomas. Ben and I met over 10 years ago, right after he began working at Brende & Lamb as their marketing director. He contacted me to discuss the printing of their newsletter, after hearing about us and the West CoastPrint Center through the Berkeley nonprofit grapevine. He gave me a very clear sense about the scope of the projects that Brende & Lamb would like to undertake with his direction that would create a sustainable marketing plan for their tree care services, and would also pave the path for growth. Ben's ideas were brilliant, well-thought through, and most of all, do-able.
The years that followed saw us collaborate to create many distinctive newsletters with Ben's vision, writing and editing. We also created a ground-breaking and extremely profitable series of marketing cards that Ben shepherded through many different incarnations over the years. The mailings were complex and required foresight and hindsight which Ben did consistently. The loyal customer base that Brende and Lamb developed and sustained through the years was thoughtfully created and maintained by Ben.
Ben Simon-Thomas is the kind of professional everyone should have the opportunity to work with: ethical, warm, intelligent and with an admirable gift for broad-mindedness. I give him my highest recommendation!
Susan Jahromi, President Trendcepts (Oakland, CA)
Ben was our company liaison for many years and we worked with him to ensure plan compliance and to prepare the annual returns and reports for the plan each year. We could not perform our job without input and reports that were prepared by Ben. Ben was prompt in providing us with needed information that was accurate in its content. It was a pleasure working with Ben because he demonstrated intelligence, a good grasp of the plan, an eagerness to learn and always a great attitude.
Kimberly Dooley, Artistic Associate and Casting Director,Berkeley Playhouse (Berkeley, CA)
"My experience of Ben is that of a community organizer and event planner. I have worked with Ben on several community events and attended parties that he has planned and overseen. He is extremely good at organizing and inspiring people. A natural leader, his direction and approach is always creative and positive, as well as effective. He makes even the most arduous tasks involved in getting an event together fun, which is a rare and very valuable trait. His organizational skills are excellent, and he brings a very unique, positive and innovative style to everything I have seen him do."
Jason Lelchuk, Director of Photography / Editor , American Museum of Natural History (Berkeley, CA)
Ben is a natural leader. He has a knack for creating memorable events that engage people to participate and bond through teamwork and group experience. I have participated in a number of team building/community outreach events. His events always have some spectacle or wow factor that make them memorable. The creativity behind the event, sport and originality of the event has bonded strangers through collaboration while having fun. He also has enlisted local business's to sponsor these events and donate prizes further solidifying and giving a local identity to these outing – creating a sense of cohesion where there was none before. I could easily see how his ability to organize and inspire people would benefit almost any working or team environment.

Thanks so much for your sincere comments! It is much appreciated.
In thinking on the isues, could I state that the problematic of Plantinga's 'common grace' and 'total depravity' will only be solved when we are finally in front of God's throne. I will quote Rev. Schalkwijk for this:
"For although not each individual person will be saved, this does not mean that the blood of Christ would be partially lost, because the death of Lamb for the world affected indeed that whole world. Our world as a whole was rescued from the evil one and will be transformed into a New World, where justice and peace will reign (2Pet 3.13). The final restoration of creation may delay a little, and is waiting for the revelation of the sons of God (Rom 8.19-21); but its time will come, because God is faithful (1Cor 1.9). Meanwhile we are able to perceive that, praise God, that precious blood has also a broader meaning, as if it were a general application, as the basis for a "common grace", by which He allows this world to continue and puts a control upon the outgrowths of evil (Col 1.20). 'Common grace' does not take away the guilt of sin, but contains and subdues its devastating results (Berkhof, Dogmatics, p435). Christ is the mediator of creation and of reconciliation, that is, of the universe and of the church (Rom 8.19; Col 1.16,20). The central ray of the "Light of the world" penetrates the blackness as a powerful beam (John 1.9), around which shines a diffuse light. If this were not so, how terrible would it be in this dark world!! It is still time for salvation."
Furthermore, I (Adriana) believe that if a bandit was not able to feel love for anyone, and as such, would not be able to understand the concept, I could never be able to reach his heart. It also answers an age old question I always had on an Old Testament comment of Javeh "I will send my terror ahead of you and throw into confusion every nation you encounter. I will make all your enemies turn their backs and run. I will send the hornet ahead of you to drive the Hivites, Canaanites and Hittites out of your way. But I will not drive them out in a single year, because the land would become desolate and the wild animals too numerous for you. Little by little I will drive them out before you, until you have increased enough to take possession of the land (Exodus 23:27-30).
Common Grace as such is a protection to us from 'too many wild animals' I.e. too much violence and disruption of peace... It is a protection and an outreach... What wisdom! What Grace!
May I also suggest that we, sometimes even theologians forget the 'Eternity' aspect of the 'creation, fall and redemption' triangle? Such as the comment 'Evil is any deviation from the way God want things to be' could have been "Evil is a deviation of what God wanted to be, but it was a choice that He made when He, our Creator, handed us the possibility of 'Free Will'. He wanted us more than robots. However, God, in His Almighty, Omnipresent, and Omniscient Power already had an answer for the problem, much before He added that possibility: "Jesus death on the Cross for our sins for Eternal Redemption"… So, it is never 'out of His control'. God sees things from Eternity; He is not bound to time and space… He is the Alpha and the Omega... Only from Eternity will we see fully!

God Bless,
Adriana & Pauloa3shttps://firstname.lastname@example.com

The best time to protect your basement from water damage is during the construction of your home. Basement drain tile -- perforated PVC pipe covered with netting -- lies beneath the basement floor and collects water that might otherwise seep in through cracks in the concrete. It requires an interior sump pump, which is also beneath the basement floor. You have a small window of opportunity in which to install basement drain tile -- after you pour the footing but before you pour the basement floor.
Things You'll Need
- Shovel
- Flexible drain tile tubing
- 1-inch rock gravel
- Sump basin
- Tinsnips
- Rags
- Sump pump (to install later)
Dig a trench, 1 foot wide and 8 inches deep, around the inside perimeter of the footing. Dig as close to the footing as possible without disturbing the soil under it.
Measure the perimeter of the trench and purchase flexible drain tile tubing 4 feet longer than the measurement. The piece you buy will come in a long, continuous roll.
Pick a spot for the interior sump basin. This is often near other utilities in one corner of the basement. The sump basin hole should connect to the trench in a spot where it will have access to electricity. Water collected by the drain tile will drain into the sump basin, so it must sit right by the trench.
Dig the sump basin hole. An average sump basin hole is about 2 feet wide by 3 1/2 feet deep, but they come in different sizes. The directions that come with the basin you have will tell you the required width and depth of the hole.
Position the sump basin in the hole and remove the caps from the two side outlets.
Fill the bottom 2 inches of the trench with 1-inch gravel.
Insert one end of the continuous PVC drain tile tubing into one of the side outlets on the sump basin. From there, lay the rest of the drain tile tube in the middle of the trench. When you reach the other end, insert the other end of the tube into the other outlet hole in the sump basin. If you have a little excess tubing, cut it off with tinsnips.
Cover the drain tile tubing in the trench with rock gravel. Smooth the gravel level with the surface of the current soil level in the basement. When the foundation contractor pours the basement floor, the concrete will cover the trench and the tubing.
Plug the ends of the drain tile tubing with rags for now. Later, after setting a sump pump in the basin, you can remove the plugs. Before then, however, there is a risk of small rodents entering and clogging up the tubing.
Tips & Warnings
- During the pouring of the basement floor, the foundation contractor will smooth the wet concrete over the gravel-filled trench and around the top of the sump basin. When the basement floor is finished, there will be no sign of the drain tile that lies beneath the concrete, and a removable cap will cover the sump basin for access.
- Further reduce the risk of leaks by installing exterior foundation drain tile at the same time you install basement drain tile.
- You can install basement drain tile in an existing basement, but it's a major job because you have to break out the concrete floor to install the tubing and the sump basin.

Community Building Ministries
These areas of ministry at Holy Disciples promote a growing sense of community in our parish by providing occassions for socializing and celebrating together and/or opportunities for sharing faith and supporting one another on the journey.
If you are interested in learning more about a particular ministry, contact the parish office.
These volunteers staff the kitchen and serve the coffee and donuts after the Sunday morning Masses. Involves preparation beforehand and time for cleanup afterward. This is a very family friendly ministry.
This group of volunteers strives to make all people feel welcomed into our community by promoting fellowship and a sense of family in the parish. They are the experienced food handlers in the kitchen and graciously offer their expertise to other parish groups who ask for their help. Volunteers in this ministry can set their own hours: they are not required to participate at every event. On-the-job training is provided. Open to adults.
The efforts of these volunteers enable our parish to celebrate the diverse ethnic and cultural traditions within our community. They organize and sponsor several significant events during the year: la Fiesta Guadalupana, Simbang Gabi, Saint Patrick's Day, Pentecost, etc.. The monthly meetings usually take place around a meal and are themselves a celebration of community life in our parish. Come! Join the fun! Open to children as well as adults (ages 8-80+).
Help our community practice the traditional Lenten disciplines of fasting, almsgiving and prayer. Join the crew that organizes these Friday Night Soup Suppers. This is one of the ministries that families can do together.
A NEW CHAPTER (Widows and Widowers)
Tis is a loosely organized peer ministry designed to assist widows and widowers as they adjust to life without their beloved spouses. THe group gathers for informal discussions around dinner at a resturant, or perhaps at ath parish for an evening of prayer and conversation. Watch the Sunday Bulletin for announcements about their next event.
This group meets in the parish nursery on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays at 9:30am to talk, pray, and otherwise support each other as Catholic parents while thier children play together. Moms, dads, and all cargivers of children under school age are welcome.
Flowing from our experience with Living the Eucharist and Good News People, this ministry enables 8-12 committed people to regularly gather to reflect on aspects of our Catholic Faith. Groups meet in private homes for 1-2 hours each week, bi-weekly, or monthly. Trained facilitators use approved materials to lead the groups. (See "Small Group Facilitator" on the Religious Education/Faith Formation page) Responsibility for hosting the gatherings is usually rotated among the group members.
People who are new to our parish recieve a warm and personal welcome from these volunteers as they visit the newcomers in their own homes. (No "cold calls" .. every family is contacted beforehand and asked if they would like to be visited.) Each new family is given information aobut Holy Disciples and every member is invited to become involved in the parish life. The visit ends with a request for prayer intentions. This is a good ministry for couples who want a ministry in which they can serve together. Training and support provided.
These volunteers staff the infromation Desk at the doors of the church before and after Mass. If you elect to become involved in this ministry, you will be trained to respond to requests for information about parish programs, assist with completing registation forms, and provide introductions and referrals to Parish Staff and others in leadership positions. The ability to listen well and communicate effectively with folks needing assistance is a necessary qualification.

I could not edit my formAsked by hnltravels on July 13, 2017 at 08:14 PM
Just to follow up on my query, I am unable to edit form, the link to the edit does not load.
I have just tested your form and I was able to edit without any issues, everything loaded so smoothly and without any lag/delay even. Please see below:
Do you mind providing a screenshot so we can see what exactly is happening, or any steps to reproduce this error as I did not encounter any issues in my tests.
Still unable. I am able to log in to jotform and clino on the form, but when I click edit at the corner, only shows this :
JotForm Support
If you have a slow internet connection at the time you tried editing a form, it most likely that it's taking time to load all the scripts that is required for the form builder to function. As a result, it may show a white blank canvas.
I also checked your form and the builder loads fine on my end. With this, may I suggest that you clear your browser's cache and try loading the form again on the builder. If the problem persists, please let us know.

Reviews for Cocoa Mint Truffles
Average Rating
Reviewed Feb. 11, 2016
"I've had very mixed reviews on these. All have thought that the truffles were delicious, the outside powder is where the disputes stem from. Some people love it, others find it too bitter. I tend to lean more towards finding it bitter so I roll mine in hot chocolate powder! Pefection!"
Reviewed May. 11, 2011
"I didn't much care for the cocoa/coffee combination. It was bitter and I didn't taste the coffee. The truffle itself was awesome. I added my own variation and cute up some almonds and rolled them in that. Really good. Got great feedback."

Vendor Spotlight | Alex Meyer Events | Virginia Wedding Planner
Alex Meyer Events
"Celebrate the Start of Your Marriage Well"
I'm so happy and honored to introduce you to my good friend and extremely talented wedding planner, Alex Meyer Events. I honestly had to look up our email history to figure out how long we have known each other… Over a year! What!? That's crazy! Time flies when you're… in great company!
It all started with an email. That email led to an awesome Inspiration Shoot at Keswick Vineyards that was ultimately featured in Weddings Unveiled Magazine. Working together on that shoot we realized we had so much in common; not only our style and mission for our businesses, but also our faith. We became fast friends and so it's not surprising that I asked Alex if she would do Matoli and I the honor of styling the inspiration shoot for our very first film workshop! We've grown to become better friends since then and I can't wait to see what happens next! But the purpose of this post isn't to tell "our" story. I want to tell you about why I hold Alex in such high esteem as a Wedding Planner.
It is Alex's approach that I love so much.
It will only take you a few minutes to read this page of her website. Her approach seems like such a different concept. It's not just about creating a beautiful wedding. It goes sooo much deeper than that, "Reclaim your engagement by letting go of the stress, Root each step of the planning process in who you are as a couple, Craft moments that reflect your stories and legacy, and Surround your first moments of marriage with details worth remembering!" I mean, what!?
I remember the first time when Alex told me what her vision and mission for her business was. It essentially summed up everything in her approach… and my mind was blown! A wedding planner that wants to focus on the marriage, not just the superficial elements of the wedding? Isn't that what it is all about?!
Alex's mission is incredible and her passion is contagious. She has inspired me to go deeper with my clients as well. And I can't thank her enough for it. She is so special and any bride would be blessed to have her!
