"Since most scientists are just a bit religious, and most religious are seldom wholly unscientific, we find humanity in a comical position. His scientific intellect believes in the possibility of miracles inside a black hole, while his religious intellect believes in them outside it." - William Golding. The basic premise in the above statement is less than a hypothesis. R&R have not had a day without some strange happening; seems you can only avoid them by exercising extreme introversion and living completely within the World Wide Web. Of course, one can control all forms of macroscopic and microscopic virtual reality there!
Wheeler lived long and prospered in what we think of as the real world. Aieeeee, there's the rub? For in that sleep of dreams... He encountered a black hole of incurable dis ease.
What Wheeler was suggesting in his last half dozen years is a hypothesis that time has no relevance in this universe or in others. "Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast... But I don't want to go among mad people," said Alice. "Oh, you can't help that," said the cat. "We're all mad here." - Lewis Carrol.
"...where the past is not yet fixed." And following on that, "I knew who I was this morning, but I've changed a few times since then." Still if time should prove to be irrelevant: "... then, shall I never get any older than I am now? That'll be a comfort, one way -- never to be an old woman -- but then -- always to have lessons to learn!" Avatar Alice for Lewis Carroll.
"We are stubborn, self-destructive conformists. Any other view of our species is just a self-congratulatory delusion." - Michael Crichton. OMIG! How can we be so stupid?
"Reptilians are purported reptilian humanoids that play a prominent role in fantasy, science fiction, ufology, and conspiracy theories.The idea of reptilians was popularized by David Icke, a conspiracy theorist who claims shape-shifting reptilian aliens control Earth by taking on human form and gaining political power to manipulate human societies. Icke has claimed that many of the world leaders are, or are possessed by, so-called reptilians." He has implicated George W. Bush, former President of the United States, and Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. "A poll of Americans in 2013 by Public Policy Polling indicated that 4% of registered voters (±2.8%) believed in David Icke's ideas." - Wikipedia
"On March 4, 2013, a video (clip seen above) depicting a security agent with unusual features guarding a speech by U.S. President Barrack Obama was spotlighted in a Wired report about shape shifting reptilian humanoids, leading to a tongue-in-cheek response from chief National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden that "any alleged program to guard the president with aliens or robots would likely have to be scaled back or eliminated in the sequester". Some folk have been too much influenced by the visual arts.
The first appearance of "serpent men" in literature was possibly Robert Howard's story, "The Shadow Kingdom", published in Weird Tales in August 1929. This story drew on Theosophical ideas of the "lost worlds" of Atlantis and Lemuria, particularly Helena Blavatsky's The Secret Doctrine, with its reference to "'dragon-men' who once had a mighty civilization on a Lemurian continent". Howard's "serpent men" were described as humanoid with human bodies but snake heads, able to imitate real humans at will, who lived in hiding in underground passages, using their shape changing and mind control abilities to infiltrate humanity." - Wikipedia
Clark Ashton Smith used Howard's "serpent men" in his stories, as well as themes from H. P. Lovecraft, and he, Howard and Lovecraft together laid the basis for the Cthulhu Mythos. In the 1940s, a non-fiction writer, Maurice Doreal, wrote a pamphlet entitled "Mysteries of the Gobi" which described a "serpent race" that had "bodies like man but...heads...like a great snake" and an ability to take true human form. These creatures also appeared in Doreal's poem, "The Emerald Tablets", in which he claimed the titular tablets were written by "Thoth, an Atlantean Priest king".
Barkun asserts that "in all likelihood", Doreal's ideas came from "The Shadow Kingdom", and that in turn, "The Emerald Tablets" formed the basis for David Icke's book, Children of the Matrix. David Vaughan is a former footballer and sports broadcaster who has made his name since the 1990s as a professional conspiracy theorist, calling himself a "full time investigator into who and what is really controlling the world.
Icke has been described as an "anti-Semitic conspiracy theorist"; according to Political Research Associates, his politics are "a mishmash of most of the dominant themes of contemporary neofascism, mixed in with a smattering of topics culled from the U.S. militia movement." - Wikipedia. This self-published book was released a few years after the motion picture entitled "The Matrix" was released.
Those interested in his ideas might like to buy into this software. For a small fistful of dollars you can go well beyond Sim City in creating almost believable mayhem on a universal scale. This might be one way of temporarily escaping from his matrix of strange beliefs, allowing humans to pander to their reptilian instincts?
"The reptilians are the Controlling Factor. One cannot understand why there is constant strife, tragedy and turmoil in the world without first realizing that the human race is under the control and domination of a Cruel and Remorseless Intelligence." - Understanding The Reptilian Mind by James Bartley.
If Facebook is not enough of a diversion consider this as another possibility. Matrix, by-the-by is derived from the Latin matr, "mother, and in that language identifies a "womb." from which "any environment or material in which something develops; a surrounding medium or structure." In mathematics and and structural engineering, "a rectangular array of quantities or expressions in rows and columns that is treated as a single entity and manipulated according to particular rules." Those enclosed in a womb may be thought of as "sleepers." The prison concept is relatively new as is the idea that humans may be residents in a sandbox of the gods.
Nick Bostrum is a Swedish philosopher at the University of Oxford known for his work on "existential risk, the anthropic principle, human enhancement ethics, super intelligence risks, the reversal test, and consequentialism."
http://www.nickbostrom.com/. If there is credence in this then humans inhabit a virtual rather than a real world (or worlds). Run-of-the-mill philosophers and scientists are not quick to assume that the force which created the universe is anthropomorphic and interested in controlling Homo sapiens.
"I like to think that someone will trace how the deepest thinking of India made its way to Greece and from there to the philosophy of our times... No space, no time, no gravity, no electromagnetism, no particles. Nothing. We are back where Plato, Aristotle and Parmenides struggled with the great questions: How Come the Universe, How Come Us, How Come Anything? But happily also we have around the answer to these questions. That's us." - John Archibald Wheeler. Now that's a non-reptilian approach to our problems here on earth.
There has been some work done wit respect to this hypothesis since Wheeler's time. "Participant' is the incontrovertible new concept given by quantum mechanics. It strikes down the 'observer' of classical theory, the man who stands safely behind the thick glass wall and watches what goes on without taking part. It can't be done, quantum mechanics says it...May the universe in some sense be 'brought into being' by the participation of those who participate?" - John Archibald Wheeler. The intervention principle applied to the pagan mortal gods who could be propitiated. However, our rude ancestors thought of the creator god as a disinterested entity who started the clock running and then stepped outside of time but probably not to work as an observer.
"Of all heroes , Spinoza was Einstein 's greatest. No one expressed more strongly then he a belief in the harmony , the beauty , and most of all the ultimate comprehensibility of nature ... It from Bit symbolizes the idea that every item of the physical world has at bottom an immaterial source and explanation... that all things physical are information theoretic in origin and that this is a participatory universe." - John Archibald Wheeler. Thus, "All we have to fear is..."
"In order to more fully understand this reality, we must take into account other dimensions of a broader reality." -
John Archibald Wheeler. And reality may very well be what we imagine it to be? Which can first form or function?
This hypothesis has been gaining brownie points. That's a visual representation of String Theory in the background. Wheeler says, "The job of a theoretical physicist is to make mistakes as fast as possible." The difference between geniuses and idiots is that the former are never absolutely certain of the validity of their observation.
And "they" is not necessarily alien controllers. The singular problem faced by our race of beings is mortality. Even the seemingly indestructible mortal-god Odin had his thread of life cut. In this delicate situation, men and women hope for reincarnation or resurrection, and some think of themselves as avatars of some immortal deity. Best bet? Reunion of the replicant with the original.
It has been the business of mortal gods throughout history to struggle to gain power and then lose their grip as god-king when it became clear they could not govern the natural or elemental immortal gods of the planet. Why anyone would want the job is not clear since the governed and the governor face ultimate disappointment's.
There was a time when men wore masks to define or disguise their intentions. Today even the clown is feared. "The greatest propaganda coup of the American Right has been to convince its citizens that we are in the grip of a liberal conspiracy." - Shane Smith
"Patterns unconsciously learned." It's not so much what is said as what is seen and imagined from that.
This visual poke at right-wing reality was ineffective in the US election in site of those very real quotes. The BBC guessed that "Mr Trump's pox-on-them-all attitude is likely to have proved his independence and outsider status at a time when much of the American public reviled Washington... Perhaps the various controversies came so hard and fast that none had time to draw blood. Maybe Mr Trump's personality and appeal was so strong, the scandals just bounced off. Whatever the reason, he was bulletproof."
But then he was the anointed one according to Michael Cohen the Trump Organization EVP and Special Counsel to Donald J. Trump. Back in September he posted a cloud purportedly showing Trump's profile and posted it, tweeting "In case anyone is unsure as to who will be our next #POTUS, the Lord has chosen the people's messenger." The election was a choice between two evils. A famous movie character is quoted.
This lads is an advocate and supporter of string theory–the idea that our universe is but one of many universes in the "multiverse." But in terms of spirituality, Kaku he is clearly a pantheist. Hey has noted that, "When scientists use the word God, they usually mean the God of Order." He tends to feel that mankind, while brilliant technologically, is ignorant enough to misuse science. He notes their failure to contain nuclear weapons, nuclear fuel, and global warming.
"Michio Kaku was born in San Jose, California, the son of Japanese immigrants. Kaku grew up in a household heavily influenced by Japanese culture, therefore it is reasonable to assume that the dominant religious ideas of Japan were present, namely Shinto and perhaps Buddhism." - hollowverse.com. He adds, "They [science and religion] can be in harmony, but only if rational people on both sides engage in honest debate." However because "Kaku trusts science over divine revelation and televangelists, he is probably considered a liberal."
Kaku has great respect for Albert Einstein's belief that. "A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, of the manifestations of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty - it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute the truly religious attitude; in this sense, and in this alone, I am a deeply religious man... A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness."
"This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. The true value of a human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive. (Albert Einstein, 1954)."
Or maybe Drumb, Trumb, Tromp, Trum, Trumpf, Trumpff, and even Dromb. Hanns Drumpf was a lawyer in the village of Kallstadt during the Thirty Years' War. According to journalist Gwenda Blair's book, The Trumps: Three Generations That Built An Empire, their home village was burned down five times and 40 % of villagers, killed before they moved to America. The Trump family were originally Lutherans, but Trump's parents belonged to the Reformed Church in America. His maternal ancestry is Scottish. Donald Trump may be a hologram, as ephemeral as that cloud.
This report is, of course, a mash up of a variety of hypotheses, but will serve until something better evolves.
If there actually are alternate universes, everything is possible including a steam punk version of a spaceship and President Hilary Clinton.
And their could be a prison world that looks like this. Visual artists are now quite adept at imagining parallel places.
Of partially Celtic ancestry, Trump may have heard of the twin Gaelic gods who took up battle as a game because the void was an uninteresting place. Lugh of the Longarm and Nuada of the Silver Hand made the sparks fly with their irresistible weapons and inadvertently created a world for men. The rest in a long story best told in another setting. Lugh, the elder twin fought with a spear and Nuada (the New One) favoured a sword. Thus gaming was, from the first, a sport for gods and kings. Lugh was sometimes represented as a sun god and Nuada as a moon god.
Fidchell is mentioned often in ancient Celtic legends and lore, but the exact form of the game board is open to speculation. What is clear is that it was played on a board, with opposing sets of pieces in equal number.The name has evolved into ficheall, the Irish word for chess, The legends describe fidchell as a game played by royalty, and by the gods. In legend, it was invented by Lugh, god of light and inspiration, and was played skilfully by his son, the hero Cú Chulainn."Half its pieces were of yellow gold, the other half of white bronze." In all war games there is a Dark Lord and a Lord of Light whose tactics are the same.
It was sometimes said that the mortal gods played this game in the interest of maintaining order in the world of men, their actions being directed by the outcome of gaming. The version shown above has an unequal number of movable pieces and appears to be a variant war game involving a central king piece. In each case there is a multi-dimensional matrix.
The Matrix is a 1999 science fiction film starring Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving, and Joe Pantoliano. It depicts a dystopian future in which reality as perceived by most humans is actually a simulated reality called "the Matrix." In this instance sentient machines have enslaved the human population whose body heat and electrical activity are used as an energy source. Computer programmer Neo (above, undergoing visual education) learns the truth and rebels against the machines.
There are parallel worlds? Neo meets Morpheus, who offers him a choice between a red pill that will allow him to learn the truth about the Matrix, and a blue pill that will return him to his old life.
Swallowing the red pill, Neo's reality disintegrates and he awakens, naked and weak, in a liquid-filled pod, connected by cables to an elaborate system of feed tubes and electrical outlets. He is rescued and brought aboard Morpheus's hovercraft, the Nebuchadnezzar. In the interest of creating an orderly situation, the machine-gods have given their pod-encased dreamers a simulated existence.
Here is where this tale impinges on what we know as reality. If the lady writing this article for Forbes had been a scientist, she might have a different outlook on this story. Morpheus explains that humans waged war against intelligent machines that they created a cause lost when their enemy blocked solar energy. The Matrix is a shared simulation of the world as it was in 1999 in which "harvested humans" are trapped and pacified. Neo has been living in it since birth. Morpheus and his crew belong to a group of rebels who have hacked into the mainframe and released enslaved humans, recruiting them as rebels. The rebels' understanding of the true nature of the simulated reality allows them to bend its physical laws, granting them superhuman abilities to oppose the machines.
In the film, Neo Smith is fatally shot by simulated opponents. In the real world, "sentinel" machines attack the Nebuchadnezzar, his girl friend Trinity kisses him and he revives. He effortlessly destroys Smith, the avatar of the machines and leaves the Matrix in time for the ship's electromagnetic pulse weapon to disable the attacking sentinels. Neo then makes a telephone call to the Matrix, promising the machines that he will show their prisoners "a world where anything is possible". The End, for the moment. However in our real world web sites have been erected suggesting that some folk have confused this mythic tale with what passes for our reality. If there is a simulation we have no idea of the nature of the creators: robots, replicants, cyborgs, what have you? "For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come, when we have shuffled off this mortal coil?" It may be oblivion rather than immortality.
The forerunner, the motion picture Bladerunner, is a 1982 American science fiction film starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, and Edward James Olmos. It is a adaptation of the 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick. The film depicts a dystopian Los Angeles in which genetically engineered replicants, visually indistinguishable from adult humans, are manufactured by the powerful Tyrell Corporation. The use of replicants on Earth is banned and they are exclusively utilized for dangerous or menial work on off-world colonies.
While technically more advanced... That word "replicant" suggested an organic original. Replicants who defied the ban and returned to Earth were hunted down and "retired" by special police operatives known as "Blade Runners". The plot focused on a group of escaped replicants and the burnt-out expert Blade Runner, Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), who reluctantly agreed to take on one more assignment, and fell for PRIS (above).
You can't keep a bad guy down! While these escapees were responsible for a bloody off-world mutiny, these particular replicants have been gifted with a four-year life span. Deckard began his investigation at the Tyrell Corporation. While there, he discovered that Dr. Eldon Tyrell's (their creator-god) assistant Rachael was an experimental replicant who believed herself to be human. Rachael has been given false memories to provide an "emotional cushion." Seems all of these Nexus 6 Models had similar cushions and the possibilty of developing emotions. Now that is sad! The Matrix machines showed similar "empathy" for their "harvested humans."
The film opens with this extreme closeup of an eye. The "Voight-Kampff" test was designed to distinguish replicants from humans based on their emotional response to questions. Above a positive result not seen in the replicants Deckard was attempting to retire. When Roy sought out Tyrell looking for an extended life, he killed him after receiving an unsympathetic response. In the final showdown, Deckard kills two replicants. Seriously injured their dying leader inexplicably rescues the bladerunner from falling to his death from a tall building. Rachael is spared and the watcher is left with a suspicion that the bladerunner is also a replicant.
When reflecting one of the Tyrell Corp. pyramids that eye evokes the all-seeing Eye of Providence.Mark Twain suggested that, "You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus." The all-seeing and the pyramid are freemasonic symbols. The eye represents the Great Architect of the Universe (the freemasonic concept of god) and derives from an the Egyptian Eye of Horus. Tyrell the "Father" is the replicant version of "God" a mythic construct of humans, whose imagination may also be out of focus. The demand of replicants that they be given a longer life span has parallels in the human world. It has been suggested tat the eye seen early on is that of Dr. Eldon Tyrell, an unsympathetic scientist who is obviously a mortal "god." As noted earlier, this is a cautionary tale for children at play in the field of the immortal god-spirits.
Our supposed reality has models for science fiction. These incude: "Asteroid hyalosis, a degenerative condition of the eye involving small white opacities in the vitreous humor. It is known to occur in humans, dogs, cats and chinchillas." Rod is among the 1 in 200 individuals who has calcium-lipid bodies suspended and rotating in the vitreous humour of the inner eye. This condition has been known since 1894. The asteroid bodies are rounded structures measuring 10–100 nm and exhibit birefringence. This means that these structures polarize light along as many as three refractive indeces. Images which are created at a slight displacement look like winking stars in the sky. In usual cases there is little loss of visual acuity to the amazement of ophthalmologist.
It did not start with the trumpeter. "When you can't make them see the light, make them feel the heat." - Ronald Reagan.That can work two ways and remember visual art trumps other sensory forms. Don't know that what follows is entirely true, but it is good advice: "We need to find God (scientists would say Order), and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls." - Mother Teresa
We have no clear idea where the simulation of worlds will lead humankind, but "As the Internet of things advances, the very notion of a clear dividing line between reality and virtual reality becomes blurred, sometimes in creative ways."
- Geoff Mulgan. In 1992, Hatfield Polytechnic was granted university status by the British government and subsequently renamed University of Herefordshire. That is why Ruth who was born in Hereford earlier on has no memory of a nearby university and explains why it offers a course in digital manipulation.
The short entitled "Powerless" has connections with Disney's "Pinocchio." Instead of a little boy created by a carpenter; a "simulacrum" invented by a German mechanic. That word introduced in the sixteenth century described something that replaces reality with its representation. At first it indicated a visual representation or a statue and secondarily implies an unsatisfactory attempt at creation. Jean Baudrillard writes in Simulations that an effective simulation will not merely deceive one into believing in a false entity, but in fact signifies the destruction of an original reality that it has replaced.
He writes: "to simulate is not simply to feign...feigning or dissimulation leaves the reality intact...whereas simulation threatens the difference between 'true' and 'false,' between 'real' and 'imaginary.'" In this short film, the creator-god, who seeks company, is unable to empower his creation until a nature spirit seen as a "firefly" enters this mechanical man.
Bladerunner was an early steampunk production. Since then other visual artists have tried their hand at romancing the simulacrum.
Reminiscent of Tim Burton's movie, Nightmare Before Christmas. Again, digital animation.
Trump is not the only bête noire tale. "Reign Of Death" features a Bogart-like "Philip Marlowe" in an Art Deco setting.
This mechanical man appeared to have told policy that his detective friend murdered his girl friend.
He did not like the answer!
That steampunk pistol managed a hole in one, but notice that left eye. The eye of Horus?
Urinating upon the inactivated mechanical man proved electrifying.
But reinvigorating for the bowler-hatted simulacrum.
There is a term you probably haven't heard since Enzio Matrix days. Google him?
This is the best cautionary tale regarding the dangers of being inventive. All of Elizabeth Brown's inventions have foundered. At first she had no interest in marrying this young visitor until she learns he is a fellow inventor.
At that, she rushed upstairs switched to her usual steampunk garb and returned with her latest invention rejected by the Inventor's Guild. She came to suspect that her visitor had written that rejection letter and confronted him. The weapon was, of course, useless.
Here she has just read the young man's business card, which explains that the letter writer was an elderly relative. Turning away in haste produced this result.
Aunt Judith arrived with the tea tray and the hole in the wall was ignored. Coincidence? Ruth Elizabeth Brown was a friend of Judith Williams who succeed in bringing her into an introduction leading to marriage.
If humans are simulations what is their status? Are they Promethean as the ancient Greeks believed. Prometheus was one of the Titans, the original race of gods sprung from planet itself. He sided with Zeus and the other major sky gods of classical Greece in overthrowing his own people. . Apollodorus and Pausanias confirm that Prometheus molded the human race out of clay. Ovid names Prometheus as creation humankind in godlike form gifting him with intelligence and fire as well as a sense of their fragility and mortality. In some early science fiction novels, the plot centred on the discovery of the elder race of gigantic Titans.
The motion picture Prometheus released in 2012 sent a spaceship containing archaeologists to look into the origins of the human race. The god-alien seen in "Prometheus" looks devilishly dangerous; but in this case, the more humanoid "Engineers" end up as being more of a problem. Seems we share a 100% reptilian-styled DNA with this creature. Sound familiar?
Let's not dwell on this with so many strange things to consider outside move theatres. Additionally Christmas is coming.
There is that gift-giving avatar, who ultimately disappoints little people, just as politicians fail to meet the expectations of big folk.
St. Nicholas was a Bishop who lived in fourth century Myra in Asia Minor (Turkey). He was a very rich man like Mr. Trump having inherited a good start in life. For a variety of reasons he is the patron saint of sailors, merchants, archers, repentant thieves, children, brewers, pawnbrokers and students in various cities and countries around Roman Catholic Europe. As mentioned elsewhere. he had input into the development of North America's secular Santa.
Father Christmas is the traditional English name for the personification of Christmas. Although now known as a Christmas gift-bringer, and normally considered to be synonymous with the US and international figure of Santa Claus, he was originally part of an unrelated and much older English folkloric tradition. Jolly Old Adolph is seen here in 1934 receiving gifts from both the secular and religious versions of Sinterklass.
Under Oliver Cromwell, Father Christmas almost succumbed to the English Civil War. Under puritanism, he was equated with Popery and Catholicism. Royalist pamphleteers linked the old traditions of Christmas with the cause of King and Church, while radical puritans argued for the suppression of Christmas both in its religious and its secular forms. Following the Restoration in 1660, most traditional Christmas celebrations were revived, but Father Christmas's profile declined. He was largely rescued from oblivion by the interest of the Germanic Royal House of Brunswick when they ascended the throne of England.
The Puritans of New England followed the lead of those in old England. Stephen Nissenbaum, author of The Battle for Christmas, says it was partly because of theology and partly because of the rowdy celebrations that marked the holiday in the 1600s. Until well into the 1800s, businesses and schools in Massachusetts remained open on December 25 while many churches stayed closed.
Father Christmas was seen as the spirit guiding adult hospitality at Christmas and did not become a children's icon until Victorian times when he commenced giving them presents presents on Christmas Eve, coming down chimneys to fill stockings. Still be was represented then as an ambivalent character, an avatar of control over bad behviour.
Some of the period postcards represent him as a slightly sinister mythological spirit.
During two World Wars he was pictures as supporting both sides of war efforts and sometimes appeared very sinister.
Sometimes this masked man reflected the disillusion of men engaged in these games of war. When the Yanks came to Britain during World War II residual distinctions between Father Christmas and Santa Claus largely faded away.
Those "Broadcasts from Canada" originated with CBC International on the Tantramar marshlands near Sackville. they continued when Rod was at Mount A in the 1950s and radio waves from the towers were so powerful they sometimes provided audible programming from the hot water heaters of the boy's residence.
In the interest of preserving history Father Christmas is sometimes recreated in his older garb. The inset shows him during World War II as pictured in an English cartoon. He did have a violent side.
English illustrator Raymond Briggs introduced British children to his human side in the book Father Christmas published in 1979. In it he is represented as a singular old man who complains about everything but ultimately loves what he does.
The book depicts Father Christmas' deliveries as he deals with a range of unusual residences while taking welcome breaks with liquor put out for him. Along the way, Father Christmas talks to only one person, a milkman intended to represent the author's father, Ernest Briggs. Despite his difficulties, Father Christmas completes his itinerary with his last stop being apparently Buckingham Palace.

Architect's home is a distillation of what's important
Architect Guy Tarrant designed his family's Pt Chevalier, Auckland home to have exactly the spaces they needed, and no more.
This is the fourth home Guy has designed and lived in with his wife Debra Millar, pictured, and teenage daughter Conor.
The home won an NZIA Auckland Architecture Award in 2017 and featured in the NZ House & Garden house tour.
Designing this house: Was a process of distilling what was really important. We realised we had a lot of spaces in our previous homes that we didn't need. Two living areas were really important, but we didn't miss having guest bedrooms and bathrooms. Our laundry is in the garage and we didn't need a double garage – just room for one car and the bikes.
* Living simply in a tiny house on Waiheke
* Classic Mid-century Modern house by Sir Miles Warren
* Mid-century Modern goes mainstream
This house feels larger: Despite being at least 100sqm smaller than our previous home. It's all on one level, which helps it feel spacious, as do the high ceilings.
The materials I've used: Give the room warmth and texture. I love natural materials and cedar and brick are complementary, so the choice to have a sarked cedar ceiling was an obvious one, although a gibbed ceiling would have been cheaper. I think the richness of the materials helps carry the relative sparseness of the furnishings.
We probably have: Quite a lot less stuff than other people. I think that comes from a desire not to be surrounded by things that you never really use or enjoy — Debra's quite good at throwing things away! Not filling our home with too many things also means the form of the house isn't overwhelmed by what is inside it.
I feel quite strongly: That clients shouldn't have to buy a whole lot of new furniture when they build a new house. The fact that we have a few quality pieces means they tend to transfer from one space to another quite well. The chairs in our living area are designed by Alvar Aalto – one of my favourite architects. They were a wedding present so we've had them for quite a while.
Teenagers are not minimalists: So we made sure that Conor's bedroom and bathroom had plenty of storage, her own work space and a generous wardrobe. That at least contains the usual teenage clutter.

With all the manufactured hoopla, misrepresentation, and misdirection from the media, the opposition making a fuss about the proposed Islamic CULTURAL CENTER (NOT mosque) that is slated to be built BLOCKS AWAY (NOT at Ground Zero) from the former World Trade Center have inadvertently come up with the most ridiculous 9/11 conspiracy theory to date. Here's how it goes:
Apparently, the opposition to the proposed Islamic cultural center being built in New York feels that erecting that building in its planned site is insensitive to those who died in the 9/11 attacks. Following that chain of non-logic, the opposition is in effect saying that the hijackers ran into the World Trade Center by mistake and that the real target was the Burlington Coat Factory.
The hijackers last words: "DEATH TO OUTERWEAR SAVINGS!!!!!"
Really people, it is EXACTLY that ridiculous that so many are being led around the nose by hateful, lying, bigots and becoming pawns in the manufactured war on Islam. What do you all think is going to be happening in that CULTURAL CENTER (NOT mosque) that is going to be insensitive to the memory of people who lost their lives on 9/11?
We need some independent, common sense thinking in this country RIGHT NOW!!!!!

The Champs-Élysées has been called the most beautiful avenue in the world and not without reason. Running from the Place de la Concorde in the east, with its obelisk, to the Arc de Triomphe in the west, a drive along the avenue in an open top vehicle is a wonderful experience.

Interestingly, it is the second most expensive strip of real estate in the world (after New York City's Fifth Avenue) with rents as high as $1.25 million a year for 100 metre square of space.
• Arc de Triomphe: It is one of the most iconic of all French monuments. Standing 51 metre high and 45 metre wide the Arc De Triomphe affords some of the finest views over Paris, from the Champs Elysées toward the Louvre, over the Place de la Concorde and La Grande Arche de la Défense.

• Pont Alexandre III: It is a beautiful arch bridge that spans river Seine connecting the Champs Elysees quarter, the Invalides quarter and the Eiffel Tower quarter, regarded as the most ornate in Paris.
• Petit et Grand Palais: It is a beautiful building with an impressive glass roof, spectacularly lit up in the night. It is an impressive example of early 20th century Art Nouveau, a style of art characterized by highly-stylised and flowing designs with floral motifs.
• Place de la Concorde: It is one of the major squares in Paris, at the eastern end of the Champs Elysees. At the centre of the square sits a giant Egyptian obelisk.
• Opera Garnier: The opera building was designed for Napoleon III by architect Charles Garnier.
• Pyramided u Louvre: It is one of the finest museums in the world and is home to thousands of classic and modern masterpieces. The museum has over 35,000 works of art including paintings by Leonardo Da Vinci, Rembrandt, Vermeer and Cezanne among others.
• IIe de la Cite: A small island in the heart of the city, it is regarded as the cradle of the Parisian civilization. It was here that the Parisii tribe lived.
• Notre Dame: The Notre Dame cathedral is a gothic masterpiece located on the IIe de la Cite. It has always been the religious centre of the city.
• Quai des Grands Augustins: It is a wharf that bares the name of an important convent established in the 14th century and is the oldest in Paris.

text: DirtRoads 145 Report post Posted May 24, 2014 http://www.nashvillewraps.com/shopping-bags/recycled-shopping-bags/c-001155.html I like a wider bag because it lets a lot of pieces lie flat in the bag vs on the side. The Regal (9 in wide) and Filly (7 in wide) hold most of my pieces. I did see a really nice bag in U-Line called the Carry Out (10 in wide). BUT the freight was was too much. And if you compare prices, Nashville Wraps is cheaper on the same exact size bags. I was actually astounded at the freight charges from U-Line. Another thing I use is the Brown Craft Roll with a paper cutter. This drastically cuts down the time involved versus using (free) newpaper. If you wrap on the diagonal you don't use much. I use the 50 lb and one wrap around satisfies the customers. It looks nice. I top each bag off with some brown craft tissue and attach a little curling ribbon. I buy all supplies at Nashville Wraps. Most corporate orders expect some sort of packing. Below is my largest order (250), all dressed up and awaiting pick up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Study: My Understanding of Dogs
Essential Things Regarding French Bulldogs That You Need To Know About The very first thing that you need to know about French Bulldogs is the fact that even though it is named as French Bulldogs, it actually originated in England. As a matter of fact, it is in England where these breed of dog is known for being the miniature of the bulldogs breed. The history of the existence of French bulldogs can actually be dated back to the year eighteen sixty's when French dog breeders from France decided to bring their dogs to the Great Britain and have it cross bred with French terriers. The name French bulldogs actually originated due to the fondness that France had with regards to this certain kind of breed, becoming the reason why such a particular breed is being named as French Bulldog. For the English people, the symbol of their culture are dogs that was there was a conflict when the dogs were brought back to the Great Britain. One of the distinctions between French bulldogs and English bulldogs is the fact that although they are some similarities with one another, French bulldogs are much smaller in comparison to the English bulldogs. Other than that, French bulldogs are also known for having ears that are the same as that of bats, erect and long as well. As a matter of fact, you can actually say that the ears of the French bulldogs are similar to the ones that Pugs have and also, they have a powerful muzzle. Even though French bulldogs and English bulldogs share the same shape of head which is square, the difference between them is that the first is much smaller while the latter is that of the normal size for such a breed. The foreheads of French bulldogs are rounder, something that separates it from other dog breeds. The hair of the French bulldogs actually comes in three varying types namely: fawn, brindle and white. When the three colors were combined, it actually produces a very rare and very unique breed of French Bulldog. On the of their eyes, most of the time, they were dark and big. French bulldogs are known for being one of the breeds that are great companions that is why they are considered as one of the most popular choices there can be. And also, aside from being great companions, this particular breed of dog is also known for being sweet and playful and just a good piece of furball that speaks of fluffiness and everything that every pet lover and owners would want to have, not to mention that they also have a very funny personalities and loves to just goof around.The Essentials of Animals – 101

Why you can't always start with why
World-renowned branding expert and author Simon Sinek claims that companies should "Start with WHY."
The idea? If employees within an organization passionately believe in the company's mission or greater purpose, that shared WHY message can give their lives further meaning and they will all work harder together to ensure the mission succeeds.
The theory makes sense.
However, after running a business for the past 20 years and serving as a brand consultant, I believe WHY is actually the second question you should pose to your employees.
The first is WHICH. As in, "which one of the following areas do YOU fall within your organization":
- innovation
- production
- operations
- integration
You see, each employee at your company is hard-wired, based on their personal aptitudes (not to mention role within the company) to answer a different set of questions before he or she will ever care about connecting to the WHY of your company.
INNOVATORS within your company are naturally inclined to ask WHY NOT? These people are entrepreneurs. Visionaries. Inventors. R&D folks. Such individuals are driven to create new solutions based on bold thinking.
Telling an innovator to first ask WHY (i.e. what's the purpose or meaning behind our company?) will be an absolutely foreign concept to him. After all, "we've got new products and services to develop!"
Same goes for the PRODUCERS in your business. These are the sales and marketing professionals in your organization. They're motivated by WHAT, as in: "What's the goal? What number do I need to hit? What metric equals success – I'll hit it." Tell a top-flight sales pro she needs to start with WHY and she'll look at you like you have bugs crawling on your face.
OPERATIONS? These folks ask HOW. "How can we do this process faster, cheaper, better, different? How can we continuously improve? How can we grow?" To these left-brained professionals, the bean counters, administrators and engineers of the world, WHY is the last thing on their minds.
And finally, there are our dear friends in management and HR, the INTEGRATORS, who are born asking WHO. "Who does this team need? Who do we include? Who does this decision impact? Who are we developing within the organization to move it forward?"
For each of these people groups, their in-bred, core questions of WHY NOT, WHAT, HOW AND WHO will always trump WHY.
The job of your brand development team is to show employees how their individual and departmental mindsets connect to a greater collective purpose or mission of the company. And to do so, you simply must acknowledge their value and their set of questions first. Not second. First.
Once you do, WHY will become relevant to them. Then your company's WHY (its unique mission and purpose in the business world) can be the common denominator for every function of your business. And each of your employees can see how their role contributed to success along the way.
If you're having any trouble getting your company to define or rally around your WHY, you're not alone. Perhaps this line of thinking can help. We'd love to hear your questions or opinion on the topic. Comment here or call me any time to discuss. My direct line at Core is 414-299-3946. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com.

About Kenex
Kenex, from Ken, Scottish, derived from the German 'Kennen' (to know), and Ex for exploration, reflecting the directors' earth science, research and business backgrounds.
We are a Wellington and Perth-based company which was set up in 2002 to provide GIS and exploration services and advice for the exploration and mining industries in Australia and New Zealand. Over the last 10 years, we have broadened our international experience through involvement with projects and clients in the Middle East, Africa, Scandinavia, Asia-Pacific and Latin America. We are a group of highly motivated research professionals who have more than 75 years of combined experience and knowledge in exploration and mining, locally (New Zealand/Australia) and abroad, including the Solomon Islands, Africa, Papua New Guinea, Asia and Latin America. We also have growing expertise in the marine minerals sector.

Kenex uses spatial data, GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and predictive modelling to create business opportunities and improved management for our clients. Our area of expertise is positioned at the high end of the 'data = knowledge transfer' value chain. This is where we make the connection between data, information, processes, and the ideas of people, to deliver innovative knowledge-based business solutions. We use predictive modelling techniques to ascertain the highest quality sites for mineral exploration, as well as other land-based resource development such as wind farm prospecting, orchard farming and vineyard development. We provide high 'value-added' products, backed up by consulting, support and management services.
Kenex develops new modelling products and business cases based on various market forces - some of our new projects include:
- 3D mineral potential modelling
- Wind farm prospecting in Argentina
- Targeting VMS and Chromite mineralisation in Oman
- Development of epithermal Au-Ag and porphyry Cu-Au models in Papua New Guinea
- Targeting IOCG mineralisation in Mt Isa, Queensland
- Epithermal Au-Ag in New Zealand
- Orogenic gold in Western Australia.
Kenex has now established important partnerships with American and Australian based organisations to compliment our skills. We have formed a relationship with James Cook University through the pmdCRC, which gives us access to new tools and techniques that are relevant to the exploration industry. We also have access to specialist skills in geophysical and structural interpretation through Dr Greg Partington's position as a research associate at the University. We have formed a partnership with Pitney Bowes, who is a major consultancy and developer of the Encom Discover software in Australia. Kenex is a reseller of Encom Discover in New Zealand, and through this relationship have access to significant data management tools and geophysical consultancy services. We have also formed an important relationship with the developers of prospectivity modelling techniques for the minerals industry in Canada and the US. We have gained access to new modelling tools and techniques through the sponsorship of the research work of Dr Garry Raines and Dr Graham Bonham-Carter.
Greg Partington has averaged publishing a research paper a year in peer-reviewed geoscience journals since gaining his PhD in 1984. Your can read some of Greg's papers in our publications section.
Please feel free to contact us if you are interested in these projects, or if you have other ideas for a modelling project that could help your business.

Financial Aid Glossary
Award Letter: A notice from a financial aid office to a student that specifies the financial aid programs and dollar amounts that the student has been granted.Consolidation: This process takes your existing student loans and combines them into one lower monthly payment. Performing student loan consolidation can reduce your payments by up to 60%. It saves money and provides additional options for loan repayment.Cost of Attendance (COA): The total cost that the financial aid office estimates a student will incur during attendance at that college or university.Default: Failure to repay a loan according to the terms agreed to when you signed a master promissory note. Default may also result from failure to submit requests for loan deferment or cancellation on time. The consequences of default are severe.Deferment: A temporary period during which a borrower is not required to make payments. Deferments are more common in federal student loan programs rather than alternative loans. For subsidized Stafford Loan borrowers (and Perkins Loan borrowers), many deferments are subsidized, meaning the interest that accrues on the loan during the deferment is paid by the federal government. Some deferments are unsubsidized, meaning the interest that accrues must be paid by the borrower.Department of Education: The federal agency that establishes financial aid programs and processes for financial aid applications.Entrance Counseling: An educational session that first time federal student loan borrowers must fulfill before the loan's proceeds can be disbursed. The entrance counseling sessions provide these first time borrowers basic information about student loans and the terms and conditions the loan programs.Exit Counseling: An educational session that federal loan borrowers must fulfill around the time of graduation. The exit counseling session provides the borrower detailed information about the loans he/she borrowed, the company that will collect the payment and the repayment alternatives that are available.Expected Family Contribution (EFC): The amount that a student and family can be expected to contribute towards educational expenses over the academic year. The EFC is calculated when the student submits a FAFSA.Federal Work Study: Federally funded program that allows colleges and universities to create campus based employment programs for financial aid recipients.Forgiveness: Under certain circumstances, the federal government will cancel all or a part of student loans.Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA): The official application form for all federal financial aid programs. The FAFSA form is available online at FAFSAOnline.com.Graduate PLUS Loan: A federally guaranteed loan program allowing graduate students to borrow up the cost of education minus aid. Payments are deferred until after graduation at which point repayment is at a fixed interest rate. Visit www.GradLoans.com/PLUS for more information.Grants: A type of financial aid award that does not have to be repaid. Grants are often made based on an applicant's financial need or EFC.Guarantee Fee: A type of fee a borrower pays to a lender. Guarantee fees are collected as a financial reserve to protect the student loan program in cases of student default. Federal Stafford, Parent PLUS, Graduate PLUS, and Federal Direct Student Loans have a maximum guarantee fee of 1% of the loan's initial principal. Interest Rate: Rates are fixed, adjusted annually and set by the Department of Education. The date the federal loan interest rates change is July 1st and covers the next 12 month loan period.Master Promissory Note (MPN): The binding legal document you sign when you get a student loan. It lists the conditions under which you are borrowing and the terms under which you agree to pay back the loan. It will include information about your interest rate and about loan deferment and cancellation provisions. It's very important to read and save this document because you will need to refer to it later when you begin repayment.Origination Fee: A fee the borrower pays to the lender for originating a student loan. Origination fees are most often associated with Federal Stafford, Parent PLUS, Graduate PLUS and Federal Direct Student Loans. The maximum origination fee for these federal loans is 3% of the loan's initial principal.Parent PLUS Loan: A credit based loan in which parents of undergraduate students can take out a federally guaranteed loan to cover up to the cost of education minus any other aid received. The interest rate is fixed and repayment begins after the second disbursement. Visit www.ParentPLUSLoan.com for more information.Perkins Loan: A need based student loan offered by the Department of Education through each college or university with repayment to be paid directly to the college upon graduation. With the Perkins Loan, students are given a nine month grace period and no payments are required while enrolled in school. 共2页: 上一页 1 [2] 下一页

Disabled Veterans' Program
A Free Weekend of Sailing
Honoring those who have served our country, Sail To Prevail dedicates at least one weekend each summer to our distinguished Veterans wounded in combat to enjoy the camaraderie and fun of sailing together. The usual fee is waived for this weekend – the sailing is FREE to the individual sailors! Since 2007, Sail To Prevail has hosted this special weekend of sailing for Veterans, in collaboration with Paralyzed Veterans of America. Please see the registration form for Veterans' Program participant.
Also, please know that Veterans with disabilities are welcome to sail with us anytime throughout the summer at the usual fee of $70/boat for a 2-hour sail. Please see the Standard Registration Form.
June 18-19, 2016 "PVA Weekend"
(Note, this is Fathers' Day weekend)
In collaboration with Paralyzed Veterans of America, this is a once-a-year event (usually in June) for disabled Veterans from all branches of the Armed Forces to enjoy a weekend of sailing in beautiful Newport Harbor – the sailing capital of the world. Veterans or active military personnel with any type of disability are encouraged to participate, including but not limited to paraplegics, quadriplegics and amputees.
Location & Logistics
Sailing is operated from our docks at 60 Fort Adams Drive, Newport, RI.
Participants in PVA Weekend are responsible for their own lodging. However, depending on funds received for this program from year to year, a limited number of hotel rooms might be available at no cost to participants who request this financial assistance, on a first-come, first-served basis.
A list of hotel rooms (PDF) can be downloaded here.
At the docks, participants who need assistance are boarded onto the sailboats using a transfer lift. They are then safely secured into specially designed pivoting seats, allowing them the freedom of movement to sail the boat. (Max. 5 sailors, plus a certified instructor, per boat.)
Bottled drinking water is provided while sailing. Please bring your own sunscreen, hat, sunglasses and wet wear.
If funds are available, a T-shirt will be provided for each participant at PVA Weekend. To help you choose the appropriate size when filling out the registration form, this link provides T-shirt Size Specifications.
We will provide sandwiches and beverage for lunch; and a group dinner Saturday evening.
The five boats can take 25 participants (5 per boat).
Plan A: If we have less than 25, the schedule will be:
All arrive at the docks at 11:00 a.m.
Sailing will start at 12:00 noon, and return at 4:00 p.m. each day.
Plan B: If we have more than 25, the schedule will be:
Group 1: Arrive at the docks at 9:00 a.m.
Sailing will start at 10:00 a.m., and return at 12:00 noon each day.
Group 2: Arrive at the docks at 12:00 noon
Sailing will start at 1:00 p.m., and return at 3:00 p.m. each day.
(Note, Every Veteran, and one person accompanying them, should have at least 2 hours sailing per day. Depending on how many participants we have, perhaps only one or two boats will need to split the time. "Plan B" can be adjusted where some enthusiastic sailors may get to go out both times, but the able-bodied people accompanying them may need to stay ashore the second time to allow the Veterans with disabilities to have more time on the water.)
Weather Constraints
If the weather is unfavorable, Newport offers many other exciting activities. You are on your own to explore options that include a tour of the Naval War College Museum, historical mansions of Newport, Museum of Yachting, and numerous taverns and restaurants.
Letter From Arn Manella
(Sail To Prevail Waterfront Coordinator and Retired Marine)
Fellow Veterans,
I want to take a moment of your time to invite you and members of your family to take advantage of an opportunity to participate in an activity as laid back, or as challenging as you desire to make it.
I'm talking about sailing with Sail To Prevail, The National Disabled Sailing Program, headquartered in Newport, RI.
Sailing is an activity where you can be totally in control of the action regardless of the disability. Our specially designed Independence 20 sailboats can accommodate both you and your family as you sail the beautiful waters of Narragansett Bay. The Independence 20 is safely designed to always float and the addition of rigid seating and in-cockpit controls facilitates functioning for sailors with even the highest level of spinal cord injury.
As a retired Marine with many years of service in a joint environment, I know that each and every one of us, regardless of the branch, is drawn to experiences that push our physical and mental abilities to their limits…and still come out on top!
My involvement with Sail To Prevail came about through a search for an activity that not only rekindled the warrior spirit; it presented the service member with an avenue to include the family, significant other and friends. Sailing is one of the few sports where the only thing left behind is a wheelchair, a pair of crutches and boredom.
You've given your all in service to Our Country and proven time and time again that you're ready to begin the next chapter in what has been, and can be again, an exciting lifestyle.

Hurley rubbishes Clinton sex-romp claims
Model and actress Elizabeth Hurley has slammed reports that she and former US president Bill Clinton had a torrid 12-month love affair during his presidency,
The 48-year-old British model's old flame, actor Tom Sizemore, has released a recording to website Radar Online, which he claims details his part in arranging a secret tryst between the former president and Hurley.
In the recording, Sizemore, 52, recounts how the former US president sent a plane in 1998 to fly Hurley to Washington DC, where Clinton reportedly slept with her in the White House, next door to Hillary Clinton's bedroom.
Sizemore said Clinton pulled him aside during the White House screening of the 1998 blockbuster Saving Private Ryan and asked if he and Hurley were still together. When Sizemore replied "no", Clinton demanded the actress' phone number.
"Give it to me, you dumb motherf---er," Clinton was alleged to have said.
"I'm the Commander-in-Chief of the United States of America. The buck stops here. Give me the damn number," Clinton was alleged to have said.
The then-president dialled Hurley's number, and introduced himself as her "Commander-in-Chief".
"Listen Elizabeth, this is the President," he said.
"I don't have any time for this s---. I'm keeping the world from nuclear war all the time. I'm sending a plane to pick you up."
Sizemore claimed the model arrived at the White House a few hours later, and spent the next four days with the president.
Sizemore said that as Clinton and Hurley turned to disappear into his room, Clinton turned to him and said: "I owe you one."
Hurley lashed out overnight about the allegations, taking to Twitter to attack what she called "ludicrously silly stories" on Twitter.
The 48-year-old actress said she was considering legal action over the story.
Ludicrously silly stories about me & Bill Clinton. Totally untrue. In the hands of my lawyers. Yawn.

Fiesta Outdoor Mat
100 0
false pdp {"scheme":"product1_cr"}
false pdp {"scheme":"product2_cr"}
Fiesta Outdoor Mat is rated out of 5 by 21.
Rated 5 out of 5 by jenwhtexas from Fiesta Outdoor Mat I bought the long runner to go in front of my double french doors, on the outside. It is on a covered porch. What an impact it makes when looking at the back of my house, onto the porch. My house is an all white, two story, 100 year old house. I have deep reddish-brown trim around the french windows. The decking is also a warm reddish brown. This rug looks fantastic here! It is vibrant (better than the photo), and thick. It has a folksy but eclectic look, like a piece of artwork.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Steverino from fiesta outdoor mat Perfect! Perfect! Perfect! I could not have picked a better mat...and the colors and overall appearance are clearer and sharper than appear in the catalog. Love it!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Copicus from Rich, vibrant color I hesitated at first, thought the colors would be too "loud". It's absolutely gorgeous and the design looks fantastic. What a welcome to spring! Can't comment on the wear, but it will be in a covered area outside, so hope it holds up. Very happy with this purchase!

Rated 5 out of 5 by ditalking from Love these carpets I love these carpets. They are bright and colorful and look great. They are also comfortable to walk on. I am using them indoors even tho they are rated for the outdoors. The only draw back for me is that I would have liked a larger selection of available sizes.
Date published: 2015-04-26
Rated 5 out of 5 by HoustonCat from Beautiful rug I bought this rug for my patio which has a floor of brick pavers. I put it by the Rizza chairs which I also got at Grandin Road. The rug is very colorful and goes perfectly with the blue chairs. The quality of the rug is good, too. I take it into the garage when rain is expected. My patio is not covered. I know the rug is outdoor proof but I would rather not get it wet. I would highly recommend this rug!
Date published: 2015-04-23
You catalog makes this rug look like brighter vibrant colors and this pic looks like warmer- deeper tones. Which is it? I wanted more vibrant summer colors to go with two sun yellow chairs.
It is a warmer, golden yellow. Cornsilk colored. I put a bright yellow piece of paper up to it and it didn't work. The blues are much brighter in this rug. Hope this helps.
Date published: 2016-04-14
What type of backing does this rug have? Can it be used indoors?
It has a grid back similar to the hook rugs with a fabric trim. The knitted portion of the rug is then attached to this back.
Date published: 2016-06-18
Is this mat truly "outdoor"? Can it safely be put on a porch that is exposed to rain?
Thank you for your interest in the Fiesta Outdoor Mat. This item can be exposed to rain; however, we do recommend using an outdoor rug pad to help the mat dry faster.
