After Kari breaks up with her date during Beginner's Night at Club Shadowlands, she's given the option to continue with an experienced dominant. Despite her steamy fantasies about BDSM, the inexperienced schoolteacher plans to simply observe. Yet under the unyielding hands of Master Dan, she not only participates, but gives him everything he asks for. There is nothing she can hide from him. Not her passion - or her love.
Still mourning the death of his wife, Master Dan avoids getting involved with women and he never takes a sub twice. But this modest little beginner is such a sweetie, one night is far from enough. As he plumbs her responses, taking her ever deeper into the world of BDSM, the gentle submissive begins to show him how barren his life has become and what a dark citadel he's made of his heart.
During their three nights together, the teacher will learn to submit - can she teach the master to love?

"Can you say a doormat female lead?"
Yes, I generally like both the author and narrator. The very weak lead just made me angry. Nobody should be treated like she was!
She should have worked harder to make her more believable
He did a good job, didn't really have a favourite
The female character was really disappointing
"This time it's the "Dom" who vacillates..."
The "sub" (Kari) is a generally brave and strong person through at least half the story, then she inexplicably turns into a complete and utter doormat. The "dom" (Dan) is an asshole throughout, hurting Kari with rejections over and over again, while she's at her most vulnerable (a point to which he takes care to bring her each time, in the guise of teaching her about BDSM). Plus, Z's something of an asshole in this book.
I will never understand why it is considered "strong" for a man/Dom to refuse to try again after a partner's death or betrayal, yet women (generally subs) are seen as weaker or needing protection from the big bad world even when they put themselves out there over and over again, risking being hurt in order to find love.
*************** Spoilers Ahead ***************
In this heroine's case, though, going back with the hero in order to be kicked in the proverbial teeth for a third and /fourth/ time, and then fold after a "you're mine!" and a weak-ass "I'm sorry" from the hero after the FOURTH such rejection just makes her an unmitigated DOORMAT, and the hero an unmistakable ASSHOLE.
Also, the way Z is portrayed in this book shows him up as an insensitive asshole, asking Kari to help Dan get over himself at her own expense, AFTER she's been rejected by his friend not once, not twice, but FOUR different times in the course of 3 "training" dates at the club. So much for "Master Z protects everyone in the club, especially submissives".
"ok reAd. didnt care much for narrator voice."
worth a read if you like bdsm
not all together my taste but ok I guess.
"Excellent series!"
I am so glad this series is going to be on audible. I have them on kindle. I enjoy them very much. The story line, the descriptions, the pace of the story is excellent. Having read them and now listening to them adds another wonderful dimension. I look forward to purchasing the rest of this series (and her other stories) as the come to audible. Thank you everyone who has made this possible.
Noah's voice and the way he uses it can talk you right out of all your clothes!
"So Much better than others in this genre"
wonderful series of books. I now own them 3 different ways, hard copy, kindle and audio. if you want good BDSM books skip the 50 shades and read these!
"One of my Favorite installments in the series"
It ranks up there very high.
I loved that Master Daniel was finally able to let go of his guilt and see Kari for the treasure she truly was.
Master Daniel of course! He is such an intense character. I loved how He took charge of the situation after Kari's (then) boyfriend treated her poorly at the beginners class.
I loved the entire book. Kari is such a sweet soul. She so wanted Master Daniel and worked hard to break through His wall of defense.
This is the 2nd of the Masters of the Shadowlands series. I love all book. I am so excited to see that they are finally coming to Audible. I am looking forward to each of them as they come out. If you have not read any of Cherises books I encourage you to either listen on Audible or read on Amazon. (Or do both, like I do)
"Entertaining listen!"
I read this book years ago and thought I would give the audio a try. I enjoyed it. Can't wait till the next one. It is downloading now. -Dink
"heartache to love"
this was a wonderful story about mourning and learning to live again with a twist of bsm loved it, cherise, you did it again

Review for El Porvenir, Westminster, CO, USA
El Porvenir is a wonderful organization and I very much enjoyed my volunteer experience. Working together with friends, family, strangers from my own country was uplifting but it was nothing compared to working side by side with the people we were helping. The feeling of unity and camaraderie was amazing even with the language barrier, or perhaps because of it.

My Take on Leftovers There are so many children in this country who go hungry to bed or to school. In the same token there is an abundance of food thrown away on daily basis. Whether it's leftovers from last nights dinner or expired food items we never had the chance to cook. Regardless, below is my take on leftovers. By the way for all of you who have been blessed with an abundance of food consider helping out with this great organization: No Kid Hungry. This nonprofit organization is helping to eradicate child-hunger from American Schools. Every fifth child goes hungry to school. That's … [Read more...]
Leftovers: Broccoli Beet Salad with Red Wine Vinaigrette #HealthyFridays
Mama's Organic Egg Spinach Power Sandwich #HealthyFridays
Welcome to my first #HealthyFriday post. As you probably have realized I'm gearing up my blog towards natural healthy foods and recipes with emphasis on organic ingredients. In short it's all about the whole foods experience. Don't get me wrong I do enjoy other foods like desserts and cakes, which I will still post here and there. However, the trend to healthy foods is the only way (in my opinion) to stay sane and healthy in this hectic technology driven world. We are surrounded by heavily processed foods, that are not healthy at all. In my upcoming posts I will get more into the myth or truth … [Read more...]
Black Bean Vegetable Wrap with Chipotle Mayo
After raising two boys into young adults I realized we have grown up in a fast food society where processed foods rule. Thinking back I regret having done some fundamental errors. I always thought - OK - if the kids behave I will reward them with a treat. And the treat was the kid's meal at Mc Donald's (that's when they were really small), since they had an indoor playground where they could play after their meal. What a terrible mistake. I instilled junk food as a way of an incentive for my kids. I can never forgive myself for that. I remember my kids knew all the burger joints by name before … [Read more...]
What is Comfort Food and Why Do We Love It So Much?
A Soup Made for a Blizzard We just made it through one of the worst storms the American east coast has ever seen. That was in October of 2012. And now this blizzard that brought us more than a 2 feet of snow. I think that calls for some serious comfort food. The famous green split pea soup. A comfort soup made for cold and snowed in days. Luckily we didn't lose power but others where not so lucky. I can't think of another storm destroying our house it's too nerve wrecking. Even month after the Hurricane left us we are still in renovation mode. For those of you who missed my Hurricane … [Read more...]
Crudite Shots versus Platters? What is Your Favorite?
While I prepare myself for my upcoming trip to Germany, here is an old favorite snack of mine served a bit different than usual. - Before I get to this I'd like to mention the little story that lead me to write this post in the first place. I was recently invited on a party, which was held at a fairly decent catering hall. Among the appetizers was a crudite platter. A boring platter with carrots, green peppers, celery and cherry tomatoes served with I think was store-bought ranch dressing (which is OK). The platter had no decoration at all. - My question is: Is it so difficult to make a … [Read more...]
Have you ever tried bitter melon?
As part of my recent trip to the Caribbean I would like feature "Bitter Melon" also called corilla, bitter gourd or karela among many other names. Bitter melon grows throughout the Caribbean, South America and Asia and is an important food source to the locals. In this recipe I refer to this vegetable as either bitter melon or corilla. As the name reveals it is very bitter, yet packed with powerful medicinal properties. Corilla has been studied all over the world for its beneficial health properties, yet it has not gotten the respect in the western world the way broccoli is looked at. I think … [Read more...]
Pigeon Pea Rice with Coconut Milk
Usually Pigeon rice is cooked with white rice, but in this case brown rice is used. It is so much more healthier compared to white rice. It got a lot more fibers and keeps you full longer. This pigeon pea rice with coconut milk is one of my favorite rice dishes. It is very simple and looks totally velvety. It goes with literally everything and in particular with spicy and/or curried dishes. The coconut milk breaks down the heat in very spicy dishes so it's a perfect match to spicy Caribbean or Thai dishes. View the recipe for the wilted spinach and fried plantain by following the … [Read more...]
Slow roasted salmon with curry mushroom sauce
A starch free dish - no rice or potatoes. Yes, that's what seems to work to lose those unwanted pounds. At least for my wife. She feels good after a light dish such as this one, but I have to be honest, I added some mashed potatoes to mine. I love my potatoes, however I would like to devote this recipe to all those who want to keep their weight in check. The three main ingredients are one of my favorite: Salmon, mushrooms and spinach. I know they are very popular and probably over used. However, this recipe is really simple and just plain delicious. Well, at least that's what my wife … [Read more...]
Healthy Arugula Spring Salad
My wife reminded me the other day that we should eat more bitter greens such as arugula, bitter melon, mustard greens just to name a few. In fact she said we should all eat more bitter vegetables after watching Dr Oz show on TV. According to Dr Oz, bitter greens and bitter-tasting vegetables have a cleansing effects to your body. So I just came from the supermarket and bought some fresh greens. The salad I made today is so easy to assemble that I thought it's probably not even worth mentioning on the blog. Anyway here is what's in it. Makes a large bowl of salad or 4-6 individual salad … [Read more...]

Christian I follow-up
Hello Distant Relatives!!
I just started the surfing on Blough family. I was bored and was excited to find this forum! It has been quite confusing after reading them all. Let me ask this to make sure I got it right..
Christian I was married to Elizabeth Gastelli in Switzerland and had 5 boys. And Elizabeth Gastelli died in Switzerland... So Christian I and Hans and their children moved to America.Then Christian I remarried to Rosana Steck who already had a son, Michael... and then with Christian I, they had 4 girls.
Did I get that right???
I'm the 9th generation from Christian I, II, III, Jonas, William, John, Arthur, then my dad, Charles Blough.My dad has this chart which I have with me right now... I have all names but am more interested in the history of Christian I's parents and family in Switzerland. Does anyone have a website to get in to the Switzerland? That'd be neat to surf through.
Hope someone can fill in the blanks for me. Feel free to email me to make any corrections to what I've said above. Thanks distant relatives! :-)

Selecting and Using a Lawn Spreader
Neither spreader is better or cheaper to use than the other; both are available to buy or rent. Choosing between them is just a matter of experience and opinion, according to horticulturist Rodney St. John, turfgrass specialist with Kansas State University Research and Extension.
One spreader drops granules or seeds directly to the ground beneath its wheels.
The other houses a rotary mechanism that broadcasts the lawn input out over a broader area.
Typically, both have wheels and a handle, and they go into action when pushed.
"Either spreader is a better choice than trying to distribute things by hand. I personally think having both is even better, because I prefer to use a drop spreader with seed and a rotary with fertilizers," St. John said. "Even when you're treating or renovating small areas, though, a little handheld version of the rotary spreader will do a better job than trying to distribute an application by hand."
One tricky part about operating a push-type spreader is that it will produce best results only if the operator can maintain a steady walking pace and walk straight.
"If possible, you ought to start on a side of the lawn that's already a straight line – the kind of edge you find next to sidewalks, driveways, streets and fences. As you go, your spreader's wheels will leave lines of mashed grass that you can use as a guide for your next pass. Seeing where you have already walked will be easiest if you make your application when there is some dew on the grass," St. John said.
Homeowners most often choose to use a drop spreader because they'll always know exactly where the preventer, fertilizer or seed is going – directly between the spreader's wheels.
"On your second pass, you have to overlap the closest wheel mark left behind by the first pass. That ensures material gets distributed onto the wheel mark's bent-over grass, plus keeps you going straight. Then you have to do the same with each subsequent pass, overlapping the outside wheel mark from the preceding pass."
Overlapping incorrectly can be embarrassingly obvious after applying fertilizer. Missed wheel marks will turn yellow-green. Overlaps that go too far, fertilizing a small area twice, will soon show up as an unusually dark green stripe.
Professional landsapers often choose a broadcast or rotary spreader in order to cover a lot of ground quickly. The material drops from the hopper onto a whirling disc that flings it out over a much larger area. The operator's walking pace helps determine how far the material goes, along with the material's size, weight and shape.
"You're not as likely to create stripes with this spreader, unless the spreader setting and application rate are too high. If you don't know what you're doing or get distracted, though, you still can over- or under-apply material. You also can fling granules all over the place, including onto streets and sidewalks. Those that land on a hard surface can end up in the stormwater drainage system and eventually streams and lakes as soon as it rains. So, you should sweep or blow any material that lands in the street, sidewalk or driveway back onto the lawn."
To do a good job, rotary-spreader operators must be particularly careful to maintain a steady pace. At the same time, they must stay aware of the material's spread width and the previous pass' wheel marks.
"That's important because the farther from the spreader, the thinner the application is. So, you have to walk in a straight line and overlap your swaths of distributed material. Product bags typically suggest you overlap by 6 to 10 inches, and that's fine.
"To ensure uniform coverage, though, I prefer to lower the spreader's setting to about one-fourth of what the bag recommends and then apply the material in a pattern I call 'wheel track–to-wheel track and in two directions.' Basically, that's overlapping close enough that the last few particles you're putting down are landing between the previous path's wheel tracks. That essentially doubles the amount you're applying, After that, you repeat the process in a second direction, which again doubles the application rate."
No matter their preferred application pattern, broadcast-spreader operators must be especially careful to stop the equipment whenever turning or reaching the edge of the lawn.. Otherwise, they can end up whirling seed onto a flower bed or flinging fertilizer onto a neighbor's patio furniture.
Operators should practice first if they've never used a particular rotary spreader or product.
"The driveway or a big garage is a good place to practice, because you can sweep up and weigh the material you distribute in your practice run to calibrate that product and spreader to your lawn. You'll also be able to see how far away from your straight lawn edge you'll need to be when you make your first pass, so you won't waste fertilizer, plant protection products or seed."

I know you all have seen these really cool stools around Pier 1 and Target for around $70! Well a few months ago I found this old stool for a whopping $1.99 and had to have it. Then it just sat around my house looking sad waiting its turn in the Chalk Paint line.
Then came the light bulb moment! Instead of buying one of those old loom crafts and getting my kids to work making pot holders, I spotted this kitchen rug with really bright awesome colors in it and I knew just what to do with it! I made my own fabulous version of this trend~ I hope you love it as much as I do! Here's how I did it!
Recycled Fabric Stool Pier 1 Knockoff
- Stool
- Woven recycled fabric rug
- Staple Gun
- Scissors
- Hot glue & gun
First I cleaned up my stool with some household cleaner and a scrubbing sponge. I liked the shabby look of the paint, so I decided to keep it and skip the Chalk Painting. There were stickers on it so I cleaned them off with a little rubbing alcohol and elbow grease.
Turn the stool upside down and choose your colors and area of the rug to use. Love that teal and yellow stripe area~
We used a Pneumatic Air Compressed Staple Gun with large long staples. You can use a hand held staple gun but I am not sure if the staples will go through the rug, it is pretty thick. But instead, you could also use nail heads or finishing tacks and hammer and put them in by hand.
Pull and stretch the rug around the stool as you staple.
Trim the rug off as close as you can to the staples and hot glue rough edges of rug down to the stool so they will not unravel. And that's it!! I love it!!! It came out super cute!! Not bad for a $5 rug and $1.99 stool.
You could always go one step further and add nail heads the the edges for another super cute finishing touch.

Weinstein, Back in His 'Groove', Wants to Cut Up 'Submarine', Too?
by Alex Billington
February 16, 2011
Source: Vanity Fair
There's a great new profile on the infamous Harvey Weinstein over on Vanity Fair's site (via The Playlist) called How Harvey Got His Groove Back that's definitely worth reading, just because it's an intriguing look at the man behind the curtain and how he got The King's Speech on its Oscar march. First things first, I do believe The Weinstein Company may be making a comeback and Harvey may be back "in a groove" again, but there's another issue at hand. In their article, Harvey talks about editing Richard Ayoade's Submarine, the charming indie flick we fell in love with in Toronto, just because it didn't play well with a test audience.
The profile starts with a story about how they met up with Harvey at a test screening for Submarine in New York. The Weinstein Company picked up the film up in Toronto last year, but hasn't set a release date yet, as they just finished a run at Sundance and this hits in March in the UK. However, it didn't connect with that audience as much as at the festivals. "The New York audience's reception is a disappointment, subdued at best, sullen at worst, and when Harvey stalks out into the lobby, he barely makes eye contact with the film's director, a young Londoner named Richard Ayoade." Ouch. So what is his response? What is he going to do instead? Well, this is Harvey
Scissorhands Weinstein, and it's not the first time in the last year we've written about how he wants to cut a film so it'll play better - he's also considering the same with The King's Speech.
"It's amazing, the humor just doesn't translate," Weinstein fumes to a circle of aides. "In Toronto they were on helium they were laughing so hard. These people, they don't get it. They don't get it. I just don't get it. It's like they need permission to laugh." Weinstein riffs through changes he can make to the film, which will be released sometime this year. Maybe a "place card" to establish the Welsh setting. Maybe toning down some of the heavy British accents. "We'll take down some of the dialogue, like we did in My Left Foot. Anyway, there's a problem with the film. This is the process. I'll fix it."
Come on, really? I've personally never understood why studios screen movies in some random theater and proceed to make changes that affect the entire thing, which will be seen by millions of people, just because some nobody audience member does or doesn't think a particular scene is funny. It especially doesn't make sense when the film is already adored by many, having shown at the Toronto and Sundance Film Festivals, where no one I know that saw this thinks it needs to be edited at all. Plus if the issues are about confusion of setting or not understanding accents - that is the audience's concern, not the filmmaker's or distributor's. Museums don't repaint/remake their artwork just because viewers can't understand it, so why would a film studio do the complete opposite to their own piece of art? It doesn't make any sense at all. Don't ruin it!
I've heard some say that all these quotes are actually just sly schemes to gain even more buzz for films like The King's Speech and Submarine, and changes won't actually be made, or if they are, we won't hear much about them. I hope that's not the case, as it really does upset me to hear that someone is taking the film out of the hands of the filmmaker, an art house indie nonetheless, and adjusting it in hopes that it'll make more money. I'm sure Harvey is being more of a producer and talking with the director, Richard Ayoade, in order to have him make the updates, but it's still unnecessary. I doubt my plea will make a difference, but oh well.
I understand that films don't always play well with every audience, but there's no need to make adjustments just to appeal to everyone's tastes. Especially an indie like this, that has a very unique style and quirk that fans of Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach will appreciate more than the typical moviegoer, it's a hard sell and could be a hit, but they're not going to get there by slicing 'n dicing. The King's Speech may win the Oscar and I'm happy to support it and Blue Valentine and Submarine, all Weinstein acquisitions, but I won't support editing/cutting the film unless the director truly believes it's necessary. So again, Harvey, if you're really back in a groove and these audience members "don't get it", I think the smarter thing to do is find the audience that does get it and to market to them - not cut and edit the film to appease the audience you want. That's my $0.02 at least, for what little it's worth. I'll be happy to support it, as long as they don't butcher it.
Besides that mention of Submarine, a film which I totally love and will passionately defend/promote all the way through its release, the rest of Harvey's profile is actually pretty damn good. I suggest reading the entire thing, especially if you work in this industry. Apparently Harvey lost interest in moviemaking over the last few years, but is finally getting back into it and making quite a comeback. "After all the bad movies and bad decisions and bad, well, everything of the last five years, Harvey Weinstein is finally back." Let's hope!

On Thursday the Southern Poverty Law Center released a report claiming the "standoff" between heavily armed Bureau of Land Management agents and supporters of rancher Cliven Bundy emboldened what the organization calls "an extremist movement" in the United States.
In the report posted on its website the SPLC reiterates an unverified claim that white supremacist and other fringe extremist groups "exploded when President Obama was elected" and now pose a threat to the country. The only racist who made headlines over the last few years for threatening the government was an FBI agent provocateur, Hal Turner.
"For those harboring deep hatred of the federal government, the BLM pullout was seen as a dramatic victory, one instance where the armed radicals of the right stared through their own gunsights at the gun barrels of law enforcement officials and won," the SPLC argues.
This jaundiced description ignores the fact the federal government during the Bundy Ranch protest restricted exercise of the First Amendment to "free speech zones," a violation underscored by Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval who said the BLM establishment of a "First Amendment Area" trampled "upon Nevadans' fundamental rights under the U.S. Constitution."
Sandoval's support of the Constitution and the First Amendment strikes the SPLC as inexcusable. "Rather than being condemned, their actions garnered the support of numerous politicians, including the governor of Nevada and commentators like Fox News' Sean Hannity — a truly repulsive spectacle."
The SPLC does not mention the fact the government initiated the violence against Bundy supporters. As documented by Infowars and others, BLM agents used violence against peaceful protesters, including a cancer victim. They employed police dogs and tasers against demonstrators protesting the roundup of Cliven Bundy's cattle on land the federal government unconstitutionally claims to own. (The BLM and the federal government are in violation of Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 of the Constitution.)
For the SPLC the fact the government did not react as it did during the Waco standoff is disconcerting. It believes "extremists" who hate Obama because he is black will now use the incident to engage in further provocative behavior.
"The fallout from the BLM stand down is very troubling: an even more emboldened antigovernment movement. Just in the months since the Bundy 'victory,' tense standoffs between the BLM and antigovernment activists have taken place across the West — in Idaho, New Mexico, Texas and Utah," the SPLC writes.
In other words, the Bundy Ranch incident has somehow magically emboldened the states' right movement in the West. Contrary to this fairy tale, and despite the SPLC's heavily redacted version of history, the states rights movement is as old as the Constitution and the republic. It has surfaced with renewed vigor in Montana, Idaho, Arizona, California and elsewhere in the West over the last decade or more.
Josh Eboch of the Tenth Amendment Center writes "from the Fugitive Slave Act to REAL ID, American history is replete with examples of states successfully asserting their sovereignty in constitutional disputes with the federal government. And there is every reason to believe that they could do so again with regard to health care, should it prove necessary."
The liberal version of history dwells on the Civil War — a conflict, liberal scholars insist, intended to free the slaves when in fact it was fought primarily over states' rights – and they laud FDR's socialist New Deal, the Civil Rights movement and other usurpations by the federal government while ignoring the long and continuing history of the states' rights movement.
This battle has raged since at least the 1819 decision of McCulloch v. Maryland over interpretation of the Supremacy Clause to the Constitution and Andrew Jackson's 1832 Ordinance of Nullification. SPLC and liberals in general – who have used segregation in an underhanded attempt to render the term states' right as a racist prerogative – ignore a large area of American history dominated by the debate over states' rights. This includes the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, California's Specific Contract Act of 1863, federal laws outlawing the sale and possession of marijuana, federal legislation outlawing and criminalizing the possession of firearms, and other social and political issues.
In order to demonize proponents of the Constitution and states' rights the SPLC hinges its argument on two mentally ill criminals — Jerad and Amanda Miller, who killed two police officers and engaged in a shoot-out with cops in a Walmart.
Portraying demented criminals as violent members of the liberty movement is the only trump card the SPLC has. In fact, supporters of Bundy rejected the pair and asked them to leave Bundy Ranch.
The SPLC continues its work with the Department of Homeland Security and the federal government to undermine the effort of patriotic Americans who understand the enemy is not Cliven Bundy and Sheriff Richard Mack but an out of control federal leviathan that grows larger and more poisonous with each passing year.
The latest jeremiad by the SPLC reeks of desperation following a less than acceptable resolution of the incident at Bundy Ranch. The SPLC will not be satisfied until the federal government realizes another Waco or manages to provide the it with an excuse to exercise its monopoly of violence against the most vociferous of its opponents.

Solid-State Poems
The relationship between a product's form and its function has been shifting through out the history of industrial design. 'Form follows function' or 'form is the function' has almost become clichés in the field. They are ultimately the truths because they really help the realization of user-friendly products. In a world of consumerism, a design that is 'both beautiful and useful' means almost anything. As a matter of fact, I have been living by these codes since I started my design career.
Products are essentially objects. And I believe the profound power of an object's form. When you walk into a room and see an object on a table, you will make so many assumptions about it in a second just by looking at it. What does it do? How much does it weigh? How much is it? The object forms a subtle interaction between itself and the viewers instantly. They are the modern day sculptures, carrying tremendous amount of information solely. And I have been practicing delivering this kind of tactile information through my designs.
Sometimes I truly sense a feeling of hopelessness when creating an object. A perfect form after endless usability and manufacturing consideration usually lost its original aesthetic. These restrictions of reality interrupt the fluid conversation between an object's form and a person. It is very irrational, but sometimes I really wish to design something that can live without any constrains. Maybe even without functions. In this fictional scenario, form is form, and it is more.
Solid-State Poems is an on-going project that explores objects' form and materiality in an industrial design context. The works are products designed without any realistic limitations. They are free from the consumerism narrative or ergonomic restrictions. They are simply created to be impractical product-like 'objects' and they can hardly be prototyped in reality. They can be just treated like 'interesting geometries' or even sculptures that has vague or no functionalities. There are no users and certainly no manufacturing process. But because of the forms or certain details of these objects people will want to see them as products and assume their functions based on their own knowledge. It is always interesting to see how users put themselves in this kind of contexts. I enjoy this anxiety of perceiving as well as the ambiguity of physicality and affordance of the products. Not like judging art, people can still find the joy of criticizing what they are 'familiar' with. Every once in a while I will post a new piece in this collection. The works are very speculative and sometimes totally irrelevant. Personally I think this is a lot of fun.

John Maynard, Springfield Vermont 1790 - 1820
I'm researching John Maynard of Springfield Vermont. Born 10 Apr 1767 in Worcester, MA, son of Lemuel Maynard and Sarah Craig.
Specifically looking for what seems to be spouse and children information which would account for his 1800 census data, 1 male under 10 and 1 female under 10, 1 female 26-44.
He married Esther McClintock in 1808 and had children of which I only have a name for Lucia Marie born 1810 died 1835. Buried in Ascutneyville Cemetery, Weathersfield, Vermont.
Esther married Thomas Richards in 1828.


text: Here is the $100,000 question: where are the URBAN,ALTERNATIVE,HIPSTER craft fairs..or music festivals...or gatherings? The thing is- I make body jewelry- you know, for folks with piercings.. I won't sell at a fair where my nieghbor is selling lavender stuffed teddy bears or tea cozies.All the festival lists I have looked at pretty much only advertise these events- where a middle america white-bread client is going to go to shop for dolls,handbags,stained glass,potpurri,and landscape oil paintings. Does anyone have ANY advice about where the freaks go to find cool stuff?

Valentin Gruener of Germany, discovered that he had a passion for helping sick animals. So much so that as an adult, he formed the Modisa Wildlife Project in Botswana.
Early on he met Sirga, a tiny lion cub that was abandoned and left for dead by a pack of lions. Her siblings were all killed for being a threat. Valentin rushed her back to safety, and years later, their bond is unbreakable.
As a young boy growing up in Germany, Valentin Gruener truly loved caring for sick animals, especially cats. This eventually drew him to Africa, where he wanted to work with big cats.
Lucky for him, in Africa, there were plenty cats to be found!
It wasn't until he met Mikkel Legarth, a native of Denmark, that his dreams came true and together, they founded Modisa Wildlife Project.
Nothing prepared Valentin for the relationship he would have with an abandoned lion cub named Sirga. Once he rescued her, he decided he didn't want her to grow up in captivity.
Valentin and Mikkel worked hard to raise Sirga in the wild, while sill having contact with her.
She lives under their watchful eye, but still enjoys the wild.

Event Fees
$20 per player, per event
$5 Cleaners
$5 Closest to the Pins
$2 Event Points Leaders
$1 Event Low Gross Winner
$1 Weekly Putting Contest
$2 End-of-Year Pot
$4 Administration fees
Weekly Event Points Leaders
At each event, $2 from each player will go to the "Top Three players" from that day. We will be using the Stableford Scoring (see Leaderboard page for Scoring system) at ALL events played except the Ryder Cup, with 50% of the pot collected going to the player with the most points made. Second place will receive 30% of the pot and 3rd will receive 20% of the pot.
Weekly Event Low Gross Winner
A cash prize of $1 per player will go to the player who has shot the day's Low Gross Score. (If a player takes an X on any given hole, he/she is not eligible for this prize)
Leaderboard / End-of-Year Pot
The player who accumulates the most Stableford points throughout the season, of which we will count the best 6 of 8 regular events PLUS 1 of 2 Major Events (a player MAY use BOTH majors if he/she does not have 6 regular events used), will be named "National Capital Golf Tour Champion" and collect a 40% share of the pot accumulated over the season at a rate of $2 per player per event. The "Top Five" end-of-year prizes are as follows:
First Place 40%
Second Place 25%
3rd Place 15%
4th place 10%
5th place 10%
Closest to the Pin
Closest To The Pin on every par 3 we play on Tour.
($5 per player divided by the number of par 3's played).
A Putting Contest is to be held following every event on the NCGT. Once the players have finished their round, they will immediately head to the putting green and EACH player will hit three putts to a designated hole which will be outlined with three circles a foot in diameter apart. Making the putt will be worth 20 points - the first circle is worth 15 points, then 10 points, then 5 points. The player who has the most points, will win the Putting Contest for that day. In the case of a tie the pot is split.
Cleaners (skins)
(at every event on our schedule, with the exception of the Ryder Cup)
Rules: Handicaps are used for a net score on each hole. The outright winner (net) of any hole will win a share of the pot. The fewer cleaners won, the more they are worth. Maximum handicap is 18 (no two stroke allowances)
Example: 10 players x $5 each = $50 pot
- Bill & Sam both make a net birdie on hole #2 while all other players score par or worse. There is no winner since they cut each other off.
- Joe gets a net birdie on hole #5 while nobody cuts him off (ties the hole), and he wins one "cleaner" and one share of the pot.
The only other "cleaner" won on this day was on hole #15 by Bobby. Therefore Bobby and Joe each get 1 share of the pot worth $25 each.
Note: If someone wins 2 holes they get 2 shares of the pot, so if Bobby won 2 cleaners and Joe won 1, the pot would be divided 3 ways with 2 shares going to Bobby and 1 going to Joe. Therefore Bobby wins $33.30 and Joe wins $16.70.
Having Fun
The main goal of the National Capital Golf Tour is to provide an experience where amateur golfers can apply their skills in a competitive arena, while enjoying the company of their peers, continuing friendships, and hopefully fostering new ones.
Pace of Play
This is of MAJOR importance on the NCGT. We need our tour groups to keep pace with the other golfers on the course. Our goal is to finish our rounds in under 4 1/2 hours for all events. Since the majority of our events have early morning tee times, we should have very little problem maintaining an appropriate pace. Tour groups are required to be aware of their position on course at all times and, if behind, to take appropriate action to get back in to position as quickly as possible.
Event Day Sign In
We ask that players arrive at least 30 minutes before their tee time to register. This will enable us to start the events on time. Most courses have a driving range and putting green so that you can warm up prior to your round.
Handicap Allotment
In 2011 we started using "event only" scores for our handicapping. After
3 years we have enough scores entered and feel it does not do our league total
justice. Therefore starting in 2014 we will be using 4 of our last 7 events
scores to determine our event handicaps. This system is used at many clubs for the member events and makes for
a more accurate handicap. Players with handicaps higher than 18 will use their full handicap for scoring purposes. A maximum 18 handicap will apply for cleaners only.
Tour Rookie Handicap Limit
A valid handicap requires at least 5 rounds entered into the system. We will assign a maximum 9 handicap for first-year players until a tour handicap is established. All Rookie handicaps will assed and adjustments may be made after the first three events, by the NCGT handicapping committee.
Men's tees, usually white are used unless the course measures less than 6000 yards from those tees, at which point we will play the next deck, usually blue. Ladies will tee up ONE tee block in front of the men - usually the red tees (unless the men play the blue tees, then ladies will play from the white tees)
All Tour members will be expected to conduct themselves with proper etiquette at ALL times.
Note: If a player consistently disregards these guidelines during a round or over a period of time to the detriment of others, the Committee will consider taking appropriate disciplinary action against the offending player. Such action may, for example, include prohibiting the offending player from play in a number of competitions. This is considered to be justifiable in terms of protecting the interest of the majority of golfers who wish to play in accordance with these guidelines.
In the case of a serious breach of Etiquette, the Committee may disqualify a player under Rule 33-7.

A new full trailer for Rogue One was released last week and just like many other fans, I have been able to tally up dozens of viewings. After familiarizing myself with the trailer, I noticed some shots that seemed to closely resemble images of places and events found in the real world. In this article I present to you, the real-world influences of the new Rogue One trailer.
Jedha: Jerusalem/Amadiya
Last month at Star Wars Celebration Europe, and more recently in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, director Gareth Edwards gave some insight into a new planet called Jedha. Edwards described the planet as "a place where people who believe in the Force would go on a pilgrimage." The very first shot of the new trailer slowly pans to reveal a bustling city that appears very compact and cramped with earthen color tones that mimic many ancient real-world cities. This is most likely the Planet Jedha.
If Jedha is known in the Star Wars galaxy as a sort of spiritual world of pilgrimage, what better place to draw inspiration from than one of the most spiritual cities on Earth, Jerusalem? The Jedha cityscape in the trailer even features its own version of a gleaming golden Dome of the Rock.
Another shot in the trailer confirms that the city featured in the first shot sits atop a steep mountain cliff. While this location could have been inspired by other real-world examples, one that seems closely related to the mountain cliff in Rogue One is the city of Amadiya in Iraqi Kurdistan. The hilltop city of Amadiya, together with the cluttered old-world architecture of Jerusalem could have been conceptual starting points for the city on Jedha.
Yavin IV: Tikal
This is one of the more widely known production secrets of the Star Wars universe, but it remains worth stating. The rebel base on Yavin IV, which appeared first in A New Hope and is now in Rogue One, features a jungle landscape with stone pyramid structures. The landscape for Yavin IV was inspired by the Mayan archaeological site of Tikal in Guatemala, which was actually shot and featured in A New Hope. In the Rogue One trailer, we get a shot of a U-Wing troop carrier and X-Wings littering the jungle landscape with several pyramids in the background. Notice the same structures in each picture.
War Imagery: WWII, Vietnam, And Modern-Day
From the very first announcement at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim, Rogue One was pitched as a war film. The tone of the film was described as being gritty and when first talking about the film, Gareth Edwards made sure to emphasize the "Wars" in Star Wars. Some of the first images ever seen for Rogue One were released in Anaheim along with a short announcement clip, which delivered very ominous undertones.
Quick glimpses of battle footage sprinkled throughout the new trailer continue to reinforce Edward's vision of the film. One of the shots shows rebel troops being dropped off from a U-Wing, mimicking a lot of imagery from the Vietnam war. The troop landing in the Rogue One trailer closely resembles pictures of airborne troops being dropped off into battle such as the one above.
Most of the battle footage seen in the Rogue One trailer takes place on a beach landscape that was actually filmed in the Maldives. Like so many other war films that have been produced with the similar landscapes, it would be hard not to draw visual inspiration from imagery of the Pacific Theater during World War II.
Classic and modern war films set in the Pacific have relied on images from World War II to help re-create shots and emphasize visual themes. A lot of the footage from Rogue One seems to be no exception as many of the tropical landscapes and action seem to match up well with historical photos such as the one above of Marines crossing a river on Guadalcanal.
While many of the shots in the Rogue One trailer seem to have a clear connection to historical imagery, some might also be associated with more current times such as the shot above with Diego Luna to a modern-day image of paratroopers preparing to jump from an aircraft.
After Galaxies Collide
During the first ever interview for Rogue One at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim, Gareth Edwards emphasized that in the time period of the story which takes place before the events of A New Hope, the Jedi are supposedly "All but extinct." He further elaborated that in Rogue One, seemingly ordinary characters would have to rely on their own abilities to accomplish a goal without the help of god-like characters.
While the goal of this article was not to show how images from the Rogue One trailer perfectly match the real world, it is worth pointing out that the dark and gritty tones that we witnessed in the newest trailer may be due in part to the use of real-world imagery as a reference point for visual cues that highlight the humanity of the film. No, many of the historical and modern images used in comparison with stills of the trailer are not a perfect mirror match, but the tones, together with heavy war themes inspired from the real world, may deliver a type of film that fans have never experienced from within the Star Wars galaxy.
Rogue One hits theaters on December 16.
What other real-world inspirations did you catch in the Rogue One trailer?

Cape Town - Builders discovered the ruins of an old wooden barge while working on an office development at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town on Wednesday.
V&A Waterfront spokesperson Lynette Lambert said the discovery was made at Number One Silo in the Clock Tower precinct.
"The affected development area has been cordoned off until such time as their contracted marine archaeologist has the opportunity to assess the find," she said.
"The initial findings of the ruins appear to be that of an old wooden barge."
The discovery would be carefully examined by the marine archaeologists who had been part of the team regularly checking works since inception.
"The V&A Waterfront area is rich with history and this is not the first time that we have encountered really fascinating discoveries which form part of the legacy of Cape Town," Lambert said.
"Given the sensitivity and historic nature of the site, we have had a consulting marine archaeologist from day one. Once we have received her report, a decision will be made on the next steps."
There are several historically significant sites in the vicinity, including Chavonnes Battery, the remains of which were preserved as Cape Town's oldest major fortification after the Castle of Good Hope.
The site concerned is located between the existing Clock Tower shopping centre and the disused grain silo building.
OUCH...a developers nightmare!
At least some one had the brains to check it out .. what if it's the Ark ..
LOL.... if the Ark had canons then we know there was major problems that time! :)
thank goodness they didn't just bulldoze the place.
Wow! what a find. Wonder if the ANC will not want to nationlize this too..
on the other hand.. its already a National treasure..but on the other hand again.. any treasure is a possible target for their corruption.
If its not the Ark then it could easily be either the Drommedaris, Reijger or Goedehoop which means it belongs to the Van Riebeeck family of Clifton.
Wait what logic is that? They found old wood so it has to be the Ark?
No they found wood, must be Malema's forefathers?
why cant it be?
I am going to bury my car and in the future they'll dig it up and go wow! look what the used for transport!
would be nice if we had a photograph to go with this story

Sad day indeed.
It's sad to see some of these original guys leave us.
I have an autographed copy of this picture as well. Mills was my late Sensei Mike Sanders instructor. Mills and I had become friends over the years. I once asked Mills what became of the other guy in the picture? Is he still alive or did you cripple him for life? Mills laughed and said he survived the sparring match just fine! I can imagine that Mills was hell on wheels when he wanted to be. God bless this man and his family!
