The Idea: Dee Hock, former CEO of Visa once shared, "the problem is never how to get new thoughts into your mind, but how to get the old ones out." I recently worked with a client that had previously enjoyed an entrepreneurial success. She had previously made a lot of money selling a business and, after sitting on the sidelines for a few years, jumped back into the game with the dream of catching lighting in a bottle once again. After a few years of "flirting" with her new venture, she quietly exited to the sidelines. It was a jarring failure. But why? We must all be adept at personal reinvention and letting go of business approaches and philosophies that no longer serve us. Past achievements rarely and decreasingly guarantee tomorrow's success.
Estimates suggest that almost 7 of 10 strategies fail due to poor execution and more than 6 of 10 leaders stated they were unprepared after taking over a new opportunity. My client fit the profile perfectly. My client thought she was still elite but had lost her edge. She fell out of the elite class: the one in twenty companies that maintain superior performance. Why is it so hard to replicate success?
1) Too Much Success
Personal success provides us momentum, recognition, and a blueprint for scaling new ventures. Blueprints are crucial rituals, but they can't replace context, soul, empathy and grit. Success places leaders in a bubble and removes them from the granular part of the business where competitive threats, new technologies, and new ideas reside – even when they follow "the blueprint." When personal hunger wanes from previous success, competitors see an invitation.
When 85 percent of leadership teams spend less than one hour per month discussing strategy, there's no room for ego. Yet previously successful founders often do not take the time to assess their business threats nor their customer's evolving tastes and preferences. They think they know the customer but don't take the time to ask the right questions. Personal pride hinders their ability to listen to others who oppose their strategy and blinds them from taking counsel on innovation, threats, and culture.
2) Lack of Healthy Flexibility and Alignment
The best organizations attract, retain and learn from their top talent while also embracing a culture of experimentation, adaptation, and change. Their mindset is not rigid (nor pre-determined), and they are thoughtful about their strategy and investments as they patiently grow their business. Organizations that successfully execute their plan limit the number of strategic initiatives they focus on, monitoring their progress daily and quickly shifting resources to seize new opportunities. A team's ability to learn, and translate learning into action rapidly, is the ultimate advantage. There are reasons small startups can do this well: they don't have a choice. Limit the barriers for growth by investing in and learning from every person in the organization.
3) Emotional Health
At a recent event, many leaders shared with me that they are struggling with anxiety and have lost some of the joy of their craft. That's a recipe for failure. The research shows if we are not operating with positive, hopeful energy, we are not teachable, nor can we create. In short, when we are not inspired, our creativity falls short. And yet, I'd bet that most leaders today are experiencing a stress level of 8 out of 10. Volatility, ambiguity and the size of change is putting enormous pressure on most people. What good is a great idea drowning in poor emotional health? Assessing competitive threats, skill deficiencies, and new partnerships is rigorous work, and maintaining emotional health is crucial. What's your process for ensuring emotional health?
Who is your consigliere, and are you open to personal advisory?
A courageous coach who asks difficult questions are critical to remaining self-aware, impassioned, and winning. The first question we must answer is, "what have I been missing," but perhaps the better question is "what have I forgotten?" Success leaves clues: extreme listening, hiring talent, and protecting one's own emotional health is a formula for success.

"Babylon Revisited" by F. Scott Fitzgerald
F. Scott Fitzgerald is known as the spokesman of the "Lost Generation" of Americans in the 1920s. The phrase, "Lost Generation," was coined by Gertrude Stein "to describe the young men who had served in World War I and were forced to grow up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken" (Charters 489). Fitzgerald exemplified the generation that Stein defined. His family, with help from an aunt, put him through preparatory school and then through Princeton University (Charters 489). Fitzgerald's family hoped that he would stop "wasting his time scribbling" and would be serious about his studies (Charters 489). However, he left college before graduating and accepted a commission as a second lieutenant in the Regular Army during World War I (Charters 489). During his military service, he spent most of his time writing his first novel, This Side of Paradise (Charters 489). The peak of Fitzgerald's fame as a writer came with the publication of The Great Gatsby, in 1925 (Charters 489). Fitzgerald, writing in the third person, reflected back fondly on the Jazz Age because "it bore him up, flattered him, and gave him more money than he had dreamed of, simply for telling people that he felt as they did, that something had to be done with all the nervous energy stored up and unexpended in the War" (Charters 489).
In the years of the 1930s and the Great Depression, Fitzgerald saw his own physical and emotional world collapse with the decline of his literary reputation and the failure of his marriage. Fitzgerald's last years as a writer "were truly lost . . . writing Hollywood screenplays and struggling to finish his novel The Last Tycoon" (Charters 489). Fitzgerald wrote approximately 160 stories during his career (Charters 489). "Babylon Revisited," written in 1931, is one of his later works. It is considered "more complicated emotionally" than his earlier works because he shows "less regret for the past and more dignity in the face of real sorrow" (Charters 489).
"Babylon Revisited" focuses on Charlie Wales, a man who returns to Paris to retrieve his daughter and begin his life anew as a family with her. The title is appropriate because Charlie returns to Paris where, before the Depression hit, he and his wife lived a life of endless partying and spending of money, where everything had a price that he could afford to pay. Charlie begins his "revisit to Babylon" by stopping at the Ritz bar that he used to frequent. Before too many details are given, Charlie gives the bartender the address of his in-laws in case any of his old friends happen to stop in and wish to locate him. This act proves to destroy his plans for family by the end of the story. As he begins to look around his old stomping grounds, he finds that now, every thing seems dark, alienated, and alone – similar to how he feels. Walking through the bar, Charlie hears "a single, bored voice" (Fitzgerald 490). When asked if he would like a drink, Charlie states he is "going slow these days" (Fitzgerald 490). While the bartender continues his friendly discussion, Charlie states that he now lives in Prague because "they don't know about me down there" (Fitzgerald 490). Charlie initially escaped Paris to start life over and has become lonely and feels alienated. When he returns to the establishment of his "good ol' days," he hopes to find the old friendly faces he remembers, but even this world has become a slow, lonely existence. Upon leaving the bar, Charlie walks down the street and hears the song "La Plus que Lente – Slower than Slow" being played (Fitzgerald 491). Having revisited his old haunts, Charlie goes to his in-law's house to see his daughter and begin the necessary proceedings to bring her home with him – to start his new life.
Charlie tells the reader how "he believed in character; [how] he wanted to jump back a whole generation and trust in character again as the eternally valuable element"...

About Apex HRC Corporate
Ten years ago, Apex embarked on a mission we continue to pursue today; to lead the payroll software industry in delivering the easiest to use and most powerful cloud-based platform supported with unmatched personal service. Created by a team of industry veterans with decades of payroll experience, Apex began with a deep understanding of the technology and service requirements that payroll service bureaus need to be successful. Apex introduced the Employer on Demand payroll platform which transformed payroll software for small to medium service bureaus. Later developments led to Apex introducing the industry-leading Apex Employer on the GO payroll and HCM platform. Apex stands as one of the few payroll technology companies offering a true cloud-based system scalable for the largest payroll services bureaus and simultaneously integrated with the broadest suite of HCM services. While technology leadership remains at the heart of Apex HCM we also understand the power of personal service. Apex HCM offers unmatched personal service to help our customers quickly convert data from their legacy system and learn the Apex platform. We understand that onboarding to a new software system involves time, expense, and effort. Hence, we employ a team of people whose only job is to minimize all three for our service bureau clients. Beyond, software, beyond service, Apex invests in research to determine best practices for service bureau organizations to grow their payroll business. The majority of our new product features and enhancements are proposed and voted upon by Apex customers. As a result, every year, dozens of payroll service bureaus switch to Apex HCM because it enables them to operate their business more efficiently and scale for growth. Over 300 payroll service bureaus use Apex HCM to process payroll for tens of thousands of employers nationwide.
What Our Clients Say About Us
Smooth Transition
I am the owner and administrator of a home health & hospice agency located in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have a staff of over 200 hundred field nurses and rehabilitative staff, as well as an administrative staff of 15. We recently switched our payroll service from Paychex to Apex. Thanks to Bahar, the transition was seamless. She worked very closely with my HR Coordinator, answered all our questions to ensure the smooth transition. I am extremely happy with her service and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a payroll processing company. – Emmie Malazgirt, MA, Nursing Resources
You Deal with One Person for Everything. End of Story.
Our short story is our company was founded in 1994 and over the years has grown…We interviewed all the "major players" and also looked at a few local options such as Apex payroll. We fell hook, line and sinker for the other companies' sales pitch. Our sales rep was great, but he was also long gone the moment we signed the contract and started having issues. We called back Bahar at Apex payroll and she offered to come in and speak with us in person – NICE! Both the first and second payroll with Bahar has been EASIER and LESS TIME CONSUMING than any payroll run I have ever done with another payroll company in any business over the last 15 years. – Justin Baron – All American Trucking and Transportation, Inc.
No Brainer to Replace a Mediocre Big Box Service
I recently made the switch from a mostly automated payroll system to Bahar's high touch service. Her attention to detail is paramount, and her professional knowledge is exactly the value I was looking for. Bahar understands the process, but she also understands small and fast growing business. I highly recommend her service as a "no brainer" to replace a mediocre big box service. – Laura La Bine – La Bine and Associates
Working with Apex Payroll is a Huge Benefit!
Bahar is fantastic! When we first met Bahar, my payroll services were provided by another company. I was a little leery to change companies because I thought it would be a huge hassle. It actually was a HUGE BENEFIT. She has made my life easier with my employees. Ensuring they are paid on time and paid correctly. She truly knows payroll services plus she is very responsive and understands my company needs.
Guesswork Eliminated
Bahar at Apex payroll is fantastic! She is able to get our payroll and employees' all organized. All the guesswork is eliminated because she will handle all forms and deadlines for you so you do not have to worry about fines. Any business with employees can benefit from using Apex!! – Nick Jung, D.C., Owner, Powerpractic
Very Responsive!
Bahar, with Apex Payroll services, is fantastic! She is located in downtown Burlingame. I worked with her to add myself on the payroll for my small business with some last minute panic. She was incredibly patient, supportive and solution-oriented to help me get through paying off my payroll taxes and is very knowledgeable about business taxes as well. I could not have asked for a better person to work with and I highly recommend her to set yourself up for success, especially with the new fiscal year. – Meg Spicer, Spicereddy Chiropractic

A fellow writer recently asked our writer's group how we felt when reading our old writing. Like, what if we believe differently than we did several years ago and changed our minds about some big things in the world? What if we got some things WAY wrong?
I didn't hesitate to tell her that initially I feel embarrassed–head shaking, blushing, mouthing "what the hell?" kind of embarrassed. Like seeing a picture of yourself in TBT form with big bangs and shoulder pads to match (that sure dates me). After that first burst of emotion, I settle into neutrality about who I was a decade ago, acknowledging that we all grow and change. Change is inevitable. Life on this planet can knock us around and traumas can change our brain structure and any number of good, hard stuffs can open our eyes and heart to new information, learning, and growth. When it comes down to it, I sure hope I read this post in another decade, blush, then see how much I've grown. I better be different in 10 years. No way do I want to stagnate in this big beautiful adventure!!!
Change and growth can be scary because there is always great potential for loss in growth. The emotional math of that statement is perplexing but still true. I often try to find a way around it, but always come out with the same product: I will grow and simultaneously, I will lose.
I witness this phenomenon each summer in my garden. Growing a garden is one of the joys of life in Minnesota. The months of 4am to almost 10pm sunlight create a short but powerful growing season. All that light can cause a tomato plant to develop quickly and prolifically, overshadowing and neutralizing any plant nearby. I can tie up, prune, and guide the tomato plant all I want but if it is gonna grow I can't stop it. Sometimes that is disappointing. I was really looking forward to making chile rellenos one summer, but my tomato plant consumed all the sun and space of the pepper plant.
That same cycle happens in our own lives. As one area of our life grows another area is overshadowed, maybe even to the point of extinction. That prospect can be as terrifying as it is exciting.
Our family went from 2 kids to 5 in just 15 months. We made plans for growth, becoming foster parents while trying for another biological baby. We didn't imagine the growth we desired would be quite so HUGE or that it would require ALL the space for years. That was scary. I even resented the growth sometimes. I missed my friendships. I missed reading books. I missed how easy it had been to take day trips with only my oldest 2 kiddos. But our big, new family was awesome. I couldn't deny that.
Have you experienced growth that changed you? Maybe you've had some big business wins that have eclipsed your time with family. Maybe you've developed friendships that are so fulfilling that the "bare minimum" at work is all you can do. Maybe you've has some trauma that requires everything you've got just to breathe and eat. All of these change us and move us to new places in this big, beautiful world. And as scary as they are, they can be good. Don't be embarrassed or afraid or sad when you look back in a decade and see change galore. Don't be afraid when you lose things that used to be THE most important things. Grow. Change. Embrace your new space.
What growth are you seeing right now? Does that scare you or excite you? What kind of support could you use in your growth? I'd love to hear from you!

I can find no information on this tune. I got it from a Brass Monkey CD where they use it for the song the Maid and the Palmer Man.
Paul Hardy provided the following interesting info:
From a quick bit of Googling, I'd guess it has evolved from "From Night till Morn I take my Glass", which appears in Jane Austen's own music book. See https://jscholarship.library.
jhu.edu/handle/1774.2/26005 and http://www.rism.org.uk/ manuscripts/122924?peek=17& wheel=mnskrpt_fv.
It looks to have been published in about 1810 with an accompaniment by William Shields, and based on a French air.

This is a micro-production wine from the tiny island of Pico in the Azores. It is grown in volcanic basalt at sea level, less than 50m from the Atlantic. This terroir and the varietal imbue this wine with incredible minerality and purity, as well as unmistakable salinity. This varietal of Verdelho dates back to the original plantings in the early 17th century, and is indigenous to the Azores and Madeira.
2018 91 WA; 2017 92WA; 2016 91WA, 2015 92WA, W&S "Year's Best Portugal Whites"
100% Verdelho do Pico. Sustainably grown vines planted from 1984-2004. Tended in volcanic basalt at sea level, less than 50 m (164 ft) from the Atlantic Ocean.
What better food to eat with a wine from the islands than the bounty of the sea? Shellfish, oysters, grilled or fried fish are all excellent pairing ideas.
Hand harvested to 40kg baskets, heavy triage, then racked to small stainless steel tanks for 6 months with extensive battonage. These tanks were laid down in the fashion of a barrel in order to facilitate battonage during lees aging.
117 cases (6 pack)
Pico, in the Azores, is about 1000 miles off the coast of Portugal. It is dominated by the volcano Ponto do Pico, Portgual's highest mountain. The soil is entirely black basalt, which puts enormous stress on the vines, lowering yields. Vines are the only crop to speak of on Pico, as other plant life has a difficult time surviving. Temperature averages 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit, with rainfall averaging 1200mm a year.
Bright straw-yellow. Aromas of passionfruit, pineapple, sea spray and oyster shell on the nose. On the palate, vibrant and fresh with high toned tropical fruit held in balance by impressive mid-palate weight and breadth. Finishes long and clean, with the Azores' tell-tale saline minerality running through the finish.

…and all through the house, too many creatures were stirring (yes, I mean the cats. And kids. The dog too, I might add) in the very full house. Mama (that's me) is dressed for the day, along with Papa, but all the kids are still cat-napping (except for the oldest, because her inflatable mattress – yes, we're really THAT full here – decided to leak. Not good.). I'd love to say something about a long winter's nap, but the truth is, we've been up since 7. We're both pretty stressed about a number of things, and let's face it – who needs sleep anyway?
One good thing about going to Vegas next week, is that I'm going to Vegas next week to see a lot of my friends! I desperately need to see them right now, and yeah…Duran Duran, too. One very strange thing about going on a road trip to see the band at this time of year is that I haven't thought much about it. I know I should have bought new clothes or something…and as I said the other night on Twitter, instead I'm fully prepared to show up to that fancy Vegas gig at The Cosmopolitan in flannel jammies and fuzzy slippers. I may get thrown out, but I'd be comfortable in the process. 😀
Hmm. Perhaps I'm taking this whole "we're like FAMILY" thing a little bit too literally. No reason to scare people, I suppose. Although, the idea of wearing flannels and a pair of neon green trainers to a Duran show makes me grin a bit.
The truth is, I'm really stressed out about life right now. I'm fine from moment to moment, but when I start thinking about January and February, or what is coming down the road, particularly if it takes Walt a while to find a new job – I can feel the panic begin to rise. Sometimes writing the blog can distract me, but this morning, it's not happening. I cannot recommend this as a good way to go through the holidays, and yet my family has done it before. Seven times, actually.
Basically, I need the diversion that only a great concert and time with friends can provide, but the last thing I can really put any amount of time, effort, pain and/or suffering into at the moment is my wardrobe. I'll come wearing clothes (you all can thank me later). The band should just be ready to make me forget about reality, if even just for a little while. If memory serves, they're pretty good at doing just that.

Here is an excerpt from a thought provoking article by Scott Allford about the media perception of the Philippines being a DISASTER-PRONE country:
If you watch or read the news you may feel very justified in believing that the Philippines is a very dangerous country, savaged by typhoons, earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, and terrorist attacks. A poor country with images of children picking through garbage, slums, and corruption scandals broadcast in most international news reports. They are not all that the country contains. Not every person in the Philippines is poor, a terrorist or a victim of terror. Other countries suffer from these same problems yet they do not become iconic images of those nations.
The Common View of the Philippines
A few months ago I was at a roof-top party in Makati filled with socialites and expats. Whilst there I was introduced to a German 'journalist', and my friend asked him why the Philippines is portrayed in such a negative light in the foreign media. His response was firstly he could not sell stories about the Philippines if they were not about poverty, violence or corruption. Secondly there is nothing else to report on. After saying this, he sipped his glass of red wine and was whisked away into a group of Filipino socialites.
Perhaps the red wine was 'poor' in taste, or the fact that that particular roof-top was one of the few in Makati which doesn't have a swimming pool made him focus on the poverty in the Philippines. I think that it was none of these things. Germany, a developed country, has slums. But if the focus can be moved away from the poverty in the developed countries and put on some islands way out in the Pacific Ocean, then people in developed countries can feel a little bit better.
Perhaps the time will come when people outside the Philippines will come to realize that the branded image of the Philippines portrayed in the media is only a small piece of the full picture of this country.
A Different View
Since the Philippines was settled by people 30,000 years ago, this country has blossomed into a mix of over 180 indigenous ethnic groups, over half of which also represent unique linguistic groups. This array of cultures, languages and cultural artifacts cannot be matched by most nations of the world. From the Ilocano, Pangasinense, Kapampangan, Tagalog, Bicolano, and Visayans to the Binukid, Moros, Ati, Igorot, and the T'boli, just to name a few. These cultures are rich, strong and proud and in most cases the people that make up these cultures are very friendly and welcoming to outsiders.
The Banaue Rice Terraces are a UNESCO World Heritage site. But they are not alone. The Philippines have numerous UNESCO world heritage sites
Lastly, the Philippines consists of 7,107 beautiful islands. These islands contain remote beaches and amazing rock formations as well as other natural wonders like the Chocolate Hills in Bohol, the perfectly conical Mt. Mayon volcano or the stunning Bacuit Bay in El Nido, Palawan. But also on these islands is a range of bio diversity not seen in most other places on the planet.
More and more people are starting to discover that there is a different side to the Philippines to the one they have been bombarded with. Those who come to the Philippines to seek out the beauty of this country will not be disappointed.

HDQRS. SECOND BRIGADE, ANDERSON'S DIVISION, August 8, 1862.
Major General J. B. MAGRUDER, Commanding, &c.:
GENERAL: Yours of the 1st instant, calling my attention to a certain paragraph in my report to you, &c., duly received, and but for indisposition it would more promptly have had my attention. I remember very well when General Barksdale, with one regiment, came to our support, as I do also the appearance of troops from the front shortly after our forces (General Wright's and my own) had entered the engagement. But it is not my prerogative to discuss the operations of the troops, even if they had all fallen under my own eye. I mean to reflection by this allusion. I am glad you have called my attention to this point in my report, for I do not desire to be understood as you conclude the cursory reader would infer. I prefer and ask as a matter of gratification to my paragraph [sic] down to the word "here," so that it will then begin and read as follows: "Here for about two hours the fire and fury of battle raged with great obstinacy," &c. I would be glad to have this alteration made in the report or any copy of it you have sent forward to General Lee.
I am, general, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
[Inclosure Numbers 16.]
R. S. Sweeney testified as follows:
That he was a citizen of Henrico County; born and raised at Sweeney's Tavern, on the Charles City River road, in the vicinity of the Quaker road; that he knew the country in that neighborhood intimately; had hunted over every foot of ground in the vicinity of Sweeney's Tavern; that when ordered by General Lee to lead Major-General Magruder's forces into the Quaker road he did so lead them into what he had always regarded as the Quaker road, and what was commonly known as and called the Quaker road by persons living in that neighborhood to this day; that this was the only road known by the citizens of the country as the Quaker road; that this road connects the Long Bridge road with the Charles City River road, leaving the former near Nathan Darby's [Enroughty's] gate and entering the latter near the gate of Curl's Neck farm.
The certificate of R. S. Sweeney having been boxed up, I certify that the above is a correct version of R. S. Sweeney's statement.
Assistant Adjutant-General.

"...with some signs of previous ownership"
"...a Reading Copy"
This is exactly why I'd never buy somebody else's second-hand cast-offs. I wouldn't buy them even in pristine condition.

"This is exactly why..." is a redundant reason if you'd never buy anything regardless of price or condition, CJ. You'd never buy them even if they were only a fiver and in pristine condition.

I don't know who is the bigger idiot - the seller asking such an extortionate amount or any buyer gullible enough to pay it!!
I collect prehistoric animal figures and the same thing happens so I would imagine this scenario being played out within any given area of collectables being sold online. Really have to laugh though when I see the asking price on some items when a scroll further down the page of search results can often bring up several more listings for the same item at a fraction of that price and every one in as good if not better condition.
Online trading, eh.

I've got the deadly hands of kung fu issue with Bruce Lee's life story by (if memory serves) Joe Staton and Tony dezuniga. Its OK but no classic. Bought it for a fiver at a con - saw it on ebay for £200 also. Good luck selling that.

What really gets me, PC & PD, is when charity shop staff insist on taking such opportunistic prices as gospel, even when there are even far less expensive examples on sale at the same time (as you pointed out, PS). "We research the prices to make sure they're realistic" they bleat, utterly unable to consider that some eBay sellers are simply chancing their arm.
There's a little china or porcelain log with flowers with some broken petals in one charity shop I know and the asking price is a fiver. It's been there for months, yet if it was £3 I'd have bought it by now. Because of their unrealistic prices, stock lies unsold for months, so it takes longer to fill their tills. They could earn in six months what they earn in a year if some of their more extremely-priced items were more reasonable.
On eBay at the moment, there are various copies of a 'Return Of The Saint' Annual for a few quid, yet yesterday, worldofbooks were asking £182-odd for their copy. Outrageous, perhaps even criminal. It shouldn't be allowed.

I try whenever possible not to use one of the sellers you mention in your post (clue:it's not Julie's Bookshop).
Why? Because on two occasions now, I've seen a book listed at a reasonable price and 'watched' it to buy later, then when I've gone back later to buy it, lo and behold, the price has been raised much higher than before- a few weeks ago, I clicked 'watch' on a book listed at £3.29, which I thought was reasonable for what it was - a few hours later they now wanted £29.99 for it.
Co-incidence or are they raising prices on books which someone has shown an interest in? Looks like it to me. Why not just list them at the price they want to get?
I know, I should have bought the books then and there and deny them the chance to raise the price, unfortunately though I can browse eBay at work, but my contract at work doesn't allow us to buy anything online on a work PC.

I sent them an email a couple of days ago, DS, pointing out their ridiculous prices for some items. Here's the response I received earlier today...
Dear Customer,
Thanks for your email.
We have an automatic pricing system which adjusts the prices of our items based on several variables, including things like market demand and availability.
Our listing prices are updated many times each day – sometimes they increase, sometimes they decrease. Please check the marketplace listings to keep up to date with our prices.

What a pile of p*sh, eh? Basically, if they see a book going for more elsewhere, they raise their price to match it. Trouble is, so do other sellers, so chaos ensues. Sometimes you do get a bargain with WoB, but it's a lucky dip.

They probably study the American book/ magazine dealer Koch...They are notorious for nonsense prices .eg Smash 60 for $275us..... They only book worth paying that price for would be a first edition Holy Bible autographed by Jesus.

Mile High Comics are terrible for overpricing UK books and comics, LH. Americans perhaps consider them a bit of a novelty and therefore valuable, but eBay is international and Mile High seem to ignore that such items can be had for a fraction of the price in the UK and sent across. They were selling a Marvel Annual 1974 for £432.87 (plus £23.53 p&p), which can be bought here for around a tenner.

Regarding that little porcelain log, a visit or two down the line I offered them £3 for it, pointing out that it had lain unsold for months and had broken petals. The assistant readily accepted my offer, saying that she was affronted that the shop was asking a fiver for an item in less-than-perfect condition.
£3 in their till that they otherwise wouldn't have got, so everyone's a winner. Is it valuable? It's probably not even worth three quid, but I liked the colours.

While the moon was slowly making her way across the sun I was out on the road pondering the strange lighting that I was seeing… And then I remembered a solar eclipse was happening! I quickly pulled over and attempted to take a picture of the event, but my camera was, of course, unable able to capture it. Though I was not able to photograph the eclipse itself, I thought I might try and capture the feeling that the dim light made on the fields around me.
So here are a few pictures that I took while the sun had lost about 60% of its light.

Kwon Sang Woo and Son Tae Young Celebrate Daughter's Birthday
Ben Cho, Jan. 12, 2016, 9:36 a.m.
Actors Kwon Sang Woo and Son Tae Young just threw a celebration for their daughter Liho's very first birthday! On January 12th, Son Tae Young posted the above photos showing the happy family on Instagram with the message, "Liho's first birthday on January 10 went well. Many of you asked to see Liho's face, and I'm happy and thankful that you get to see Liho on a meaningful day like this. The four of us will make sure to be happier in the future."
The pictures show the celebrity couple and cute son Lookhee and daughter Liho having the time of their lives as they celebrate Liho's birthday.
Kwon Sang-woo (born August 5, 1976) is a South Korean actor. He rose to stardom in 2003 with the romantic comedy film My Tutor Friend and the melodrama series Stairway to Heaven. Son Tae-young (born August 19, 1980) is a South Korean actress and former Miss Korea.

Few people know that late in life, when his paintings and pastels were already famous, Edgar Degas briefly took up photography. Some 20 of his surviving photographs are featured in the exhibition Degas: A New Vision. Malcolm Daniel, the Gus and Lyndall Wortham Curator of Photography, spoke with me about Degas's photography.
What was the psychological connection between events in Degas's life and his decision to take up the camera?
In 1895, the year Degas took up photography with great passion and creativity, he was also burdened by feelings of mortality, and I think his photographs are closely linked to a deep melancholy, prompted by the illness and death of various friends and family members and by his own failing eyesight. The very act of photographing friends brought pleasure and distraction along with the challenge of exploring a new kind of picture-making.
Do you see aesthetic connections between Degas's photographs and his work in other media?
The compositions and posing of figures in f his photographic portraits are close to what we find in some of his paintings, and the general sense of figures emerging out of darkness that we see in many of his photographs always reminds me of his slightly earlier "dark field" monotypes. More important is Degas's willingness to break the accepted rules of photography and—as he did with paint and pastel and monotype—bend the medium to meet his own restless creativity.
Edgar Degas, Auguste Renoir and Stéphane Mallarmé, December 16, 1895, gelatin silver print, Bibliothèque littéraire Jacques Doucet, Paris. Image © Chancellerie des Universités de Paris - Bibliothèque littéraire Jacques Doucet, Paris
Describe Degas's approach to photography.
Degas said "Daylight is too easy. What I want is the atmosphere of lamps and moonlight." In the exhibition, visitors can see a portrait of artist Auguste Renoir with poet and critic Stéphane Mallarmé. Degas gave the photograph to his friend, the poet Paul Valéry, who wrote on the mount that the exposure, lit by nine oil lamps, lasted 15 minutes—probably an exaggeration, but far from the instantaneity that most turn-of-the-century photographers strove for.
Do you have a favorite work on view in Degas: A New Vision?
On the evening of December 28, 1895, Degas photographed friends at the home of his close friends Louise and Ludovic Halévy. Degas made a simple mistake failing to note which plate holders he had already used, accidentally double-exposing two negatives instead of properly exposing four. After discovering that kind of error once the plates were developed, most photographers would have discarded the results. Instead, Degas printed them and gave copies to Ludovic, who pasted two prints of the same image—one turned 90 degrees—in his family album. That page is displayed in the exhibition.

Goalie Announcements (Jan 7)
The first full working week of the 2019 calendar year starts today, so these goalie posts might get a more and more scarce, it's really hard to say. It really depends on the day, I guess.
We'll kick off with one today though, as there was a good portion of these starters named before the afternoon rush at the office.
It's a brand new week! Let's hope our guys really get after those points.
Pekka Rinne (John P.) versus Michael Hutchinson (N/A)
John P.'s team has really taken a tumble in the last week or so, dropping down to 19th place and his goalies are partially the reason, only picking up 1 win over the last couple weeks worth of action. His team has had the minutes played, but it hasn't been translating, but this week is a new week and he gets the only hockey pool goalie in the Nashville/Toronto game tonight.
Jordan Binnington (N/A) versus Carter Hart (N/A)
It's a wash of starting goalies in Philadelphia tonight, when the Blues take on the Flyers, as neither goalie are going to register any minutes in the pool and the points definitely won't either. Between Binnington and Hart, it's even a tad touch-and-go, as to whether or not either of them will stick around for very long either. Binnington appears to be the solid number two going forward, while goalies getting healthy in Philadelphia could push Hart down to number three.
Devan Dubnyk (Wes) versus Carey Price (Stacey M.)
Big match-up in Montreal tonight, as two red-hot hockey pool teams will get goalies in the Wild/Canadiens game. Wes, our current holder of the Mover & Shaker, will get the visiting keeper tonight, Devan Dubnyk, while Stacey M., is holding steady in 3rd place overall, also coming off a very decent week, getting the start for the home side with Carey Price.
David Rittich (Ryan) versus Collin Delia (N/A)
Ryan's team is the only one with any stock in the crease, when the Flames take on the Blackhawks in Chicago tonight. Ryan's team didn't particularly have a great week last week, collecting only 20 points in total, but his team is still in 9th place and has a boatload of projected games to be played this week, so things could be on the up-and-up.
Jonathan Quick (Derek B.) versus Martin Jones (Brenda & Seward)
The early indication is that we'll have a match-up of numbers ones in San Jose, meaning that it will be a basement battle among pool teams and their goalies. 23rd place Derek has a 1-point advantage over the 24th place duo of Brenda & Seward, which makes this Kings/Sharks game into a big swing game. The duo have been rocking a strong team of late, overcoming Scott to bump his team into last place and they now look to move past Derek with a win. They did much of the same last season, but they started much, much earlier last year and came oh so short of making some money.

but sometimes heathcliff wanted to relive the good old days, going so far as to steal a fish from the local fishmonger, even as he brandished enough money to buy all the fish in the ocean.
finally, after three years, fed up with the emptiness of his life, with enough money to not only buy all the fish in the ocean but also probably enough to impress a woman who'd never been more than twenty yards from home, heathcliff returned to wuthering heights to claim his one true love.

Granite Transformations, the home makeover specialist that deals exclusively through its own network of showrooms, has announced the debut of its new porcelain work surface collection. A completely new raw material for the brand and amongst the first on the market, porcelain is smooth and refined to the touch, but one of the hardest materials on Earth, making it beautiful and durable for kitchen and bathroom makeovers.
Porcelain is a ceramic material made with kaolin, a fine white china clay, which is fired at temperatures up to 1400°C. Its properties include outstanding hardness, strength and durability, as well as high resistance to chemical attack and thermal shock. The new material meets the same technical specifications as Granite Transformations' granite, quartz and recycled glass surfaces, if not slightly superior toughness.
There are three new work surface colours in the Porcelain Collection: Terra Chiara (1606) and Terra di Siena (1607), each with varying flecks of gold, brown, black and white, and the finely grained Sierra Nevada (1624), which is lighter and more neutral in colour, like a 'snowy range'. All feature the brand's characteristic ¼" (6.7mm) slimline profile, enabling the material to be fitted directly over existing worktops and tiled surfaces, and a composite construction of porcelain granules and a high tech polymer resin that ensures outstanding strength, flexibility and durability.
The new porcelain finishes are perfect for kitchen worktops and splashbacks, vanity units and wash basin countertops, bath panels and surrounds, shower liners, and hard flooring, the large 3m long slab sizes enabling virtually seamless decorative surfaces. In common with all the brand's surfaces, they are fabricated and installed by Granite Transformations showrooms and come with a lifetime warranty.
"Granite Transformations prides itself on providing stylish, high quality and environment-friendly products and our new Porcelain Collection captures these attributes and has a distinctive, welcoming feel," explains Danny Hanlon, the company's Chief Operating Officer. "Our manufacturing arm was approached by a major high-end producer of bathroom products about the possibility of incorporating remnant porcelain into our product line. Considering we are already at the forefront of using recycled raw materials to design stronger, more durable, eco-friendly granite, quartz and glass worktops and finishing surfaces, this was a natural progression for us."
Supplied by one of the world's largest manufacturers of designer bathroom furniture, the recycled porcelain comes from reject bathtubs, sinks and sanitary ware, which are crushed to workable fragments and used in the distinctive Granite Transformations manufacturing process. Beige and brown colour tones are contributed by the 'bisque' or central section of the porcelain, while the white flecks come from the enamel used to glaze the material. The proportion of post-industrial porcelain content is 51%, together with recycled glass and granite, underlining the material's 'green' credentials.
Porcelain has been used in bathrooms for centuries, because it is super strong and durable, as well as being waterproof, clean and sanitary, not allowing dirt or bacteria to penetrate. It is also easy to clean, will withstand aggressive cleaning products, and lasts a lifetime, typically put through the equivalent of 20 years' performance testing, or 80,000 scrubs. What better then for bathroom rejects, than becoming stylish bathroom finishes?

When British Ace Neville Duke served with No. 112 "Shark" Squadron R.A.F. he flew a Curtiss "Kittyhawk" fighter, designated P-40E by the U. S. Army Air Corps. Our model is a reproduction of this famous flyer's famous plane.
The basic Curtiss P-40 design of 1937 was a development of the earlier P-36 "Mohawk," modified to accommodate the then new liquid cooled, "V" twelve, General Motors AIlison engine. Built for low altitude operation and ground attack duties the P-40 was extremely rugged but no match in overall performance to such other contemporary fighters, as the Messersenmitt 109 and Mitsubishi "Zero."

Laser Teeth Whitening
Laser teeth whitening allows us to whiten your teeth for as much as 8 shades in just one visit.
It's here! The new, revolutionary tooth whitening system that can erase years from your looks in a single 45 minute visit. At Tenafly Dental Associates, we are excited to help you achieve the smile you deserve. Zoom whitening, developed by Philips, is the #1 patient-requested professional whitening treatment, capable of safely brightening your teeth by up to eight shades. In fact, it's the #1 patient-requested professional whitening treatment, owing to even results, amazing convenience and minimal tooth sensitivity following the treatment.
The process starts with protecting the gums and lips so that only the teeth are exposed during the procedure. A bleaching gel is applied and lightened with a laser to speed up the whitening process. The results are beautifully white teeth.
Zoom whitening doesn't require trays, wearing strips for days or other hassles. The advanced gel gently penetrates the sub-micron pores of tooth enamel to break down stains and eliminate years of discoloration.
What causes yellow teeth?
Teeth stains can be caused by a variety of factors. Genes, your environment, or your medication can significantly alter the color of your teeth. The foods you eat or the beverages you drink can cause surface stains which penetrate the second layer of your teeth, also known as dentin. This darkens the overall appearance of your tooth due the translucent nature of the first layer, enamel. When this happens, the tooth turns yellow.
How long does the treatment last after zoom?
On average, it can last 1-2 years. This all depends on personal behavior and habits that restain your teeth.
How do I maintain my white teeth after the treatment?
48 hours after your in-office bleaching, we tell our patients to avoid any types of dark foods or drinks. For instance you should refrain from drinking wine, cola, and tea or eating dark foods such as cherry pie or soy sauce.
Is it safe?
This is a common question we get all the time. What better way to answer this question then to prove it with the following research article:
What if I have crowns?
Bleaching only whitens natural teeth! It can not change the color of any crowns, veneers, or composites you may have in your mouth.
Curious if Zoom is right for you? Call us to find out.

Remember: Always walk in the light. And if you feel like you're not walking in it, go find it. Love the light.
As musicians, and as people who sell material for people to hear and absorb, it's important that we use that voice wisely.
Our criteria for deciding what's good and what's bad is very fickle, especially in this country.
That's a wonderful thing, because one of the primary qualities of a good performance is honesty.
Bill Evans is a real serious jazz pianist who, in my book, crossed over boundaries in terms of color. He used the piano as his canvas.
Once you're successful with a certain kind of music, it's hard not to have faith in it as a means to stay successful.
My hope is that out of all the anger and seeming hostility that we hear in some of today's music will come some sort of coalition that will become politically involved.
So see every opportunity as golden, and keep your eyes on the prize - yours, not anybody else's.
I didn't know how well my first album had done; it was enough to get me to do the second album, which was a continuation of the music I'd worked on and perfected.
I've been overweight all my life.
I have been on diets that were supervised by doctors, that were carefully supervised where I lost weight.

Colne Valley Listeners employs active listening, both as metaphor and as practice, to explore and enhance the relationship between the valley's beauty and significance with people past, present and future. The project combines a sculptural installation of two acoustic mirrors at the Rotcher Picnic Site and a guided soundwalk with accompanying audio. The River Colne Acoustic Mirrors are parabolic dishes fashioned in aluminium: one dish eavesdrops on the approach from the picnic site and the other listens out towards the trees and across the valley. Close-up, these devices focus and subtly amplify the soundscape at a focal point a short distance from the centre of the dish. Interaction with the acoustic mirrors helps direct awareness towards the surrounding soundscape, leaving a subtle perceptual imprint on the listener. The River Colne Soundwalk explores the location of the sculptural installation. It combines material from local children's sonic explorations of the area, sound archive material and location recordings made along the walk. Permanent sculptural installation and audiowalk, commission for Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival & River Colne Sculpture Trail, Rotcher Picnic Site, Slaithwaite, West Yorkshire, UK (November 2008)

The Metal Construction Association (MCA) published a Best Practices Guide for Roof Seaming.
The document provides an overview of the different types of seaming for metal roofing, a glossary of terms, training guidelines, safety recommendations, pre- and post-seaming procedures, seaming operations, maintenance advice, and guides to sealants, clips, fasteners, and more.
"Proper seaming is critical to the long term performance of metal roofing and we saw a need to provide a general guide for installers that goes beyond what is provided by manufacturers," says Scott Kriner, MCA's Technical Director. This best practices guide is designed to familiarize personnel with the general knowledge, basic operation, safety, and maintenance procedures followed by standard troubleshooting suggestions for standard roof seaming processes. It is a general guide to be used in conjunction with the material installation guide and the project's erection drawings.
The guide is available on its website at no cost. It can be found here.

Authorities say an inmate was pronounced dead early Wednesday at the Baxter County jail.
Sheriff John Montgomery says jailers found 53-year-old Frank Compton of Harrison unresponsive in his cell shortly after 3 a.m. Wednesday. The sheriff says responders were unable to revive Compton and he was pronounced dead at the jail.
According to the sheriff, Compton was taken by ambulance Tuesday afternoon to the Baxter Regional Medical Center for an undisclosed medical issue. Montgomery says Compton was discharged from the emergency room early Tuesday evening but was arrested after witnesses said he tried to break into vehicles at the hospital.
The sheriff says Compton was then booked in the Baxter County jail Tuesday night on suspicion of public intoxication and criminal trespass.
An autopsy will determine Compton's cause of death.

Rerunning this post — because in the meantime I discovered these are called "Cinderella bathtubs." Here's Alice's, too. There were "Cinderella windows", too. Stay tuned on that one.
We are getting a clean start hehehe to 2009 with this post showcasing some simply wonderful bathtubs from the postwar period. Oh my gosh, look at this 1947 "neo angle" from American Standard … My dream bathtub, no question. But if I had one of these, there probably wouldn't be a blog, because I'd never leave it. Read on for more vintage tubs … and 6 photos in all…
Above: A 1959 Kohler Mayflower, recessed. Kohler still makes the Mayflower model – it's petite, but very nice! If I had the space, I'd use it – in pink, of course!
Doesn't this 1959 Kohler Cosmopolitan just glisten! Notice the little rings holding back the shower curtain in all these images. I've never seen this before. Do you think people really did this in their homes? Or is it just for advertising, to show off the tubs while still featuring a shower curtain? Readers – any real-life examples found in your time capsule homes?
The copy is fun to read. I think that Amy's little tub/shower may be the Kohler Standish "showering bath" mentioned here.
If you are the owner of an older porcelain enamel bathtub or sinks — or are considering buying one — please see my May 2, 2016 story Understanding potential lead hazards in old porcelain enamel bathtubs and sinks and ceramic tile of any age; this article focuses on raising awareness around three other potential sources of lead dust exposure in your home – old porcelain enamel bathtubs and sinks and ceramic tile of any era — and steps you can take to assess and, if required, address them.
My house was built in 1937 and the bathtub is still the original one. And it has a metal hook at one end that we assume was used to hold back the shower curtain 🙂
I have a vintage pink corner Cinderella tub listed for sale. Matching sink and toilet were cracked during removal, but the tub is in perfect condition.
I hope I am not posting a link to my ad is against any policies on this forum. If it is I apologize.
I have this tub in aqua (with matching commode) in my main bathroom! thank you for the ideas!
Hoping for answers re plumbing set-up with a vintage tub!
We have recently purchased a 1960's brick ranch – custom designed by the original owner. In the main bathroom (and the only full bathroom) is a giant recessed tub – it kind of looks more like the American Standard pictured but it's square & recessed into a tiled wall like the picture of the Köhler Mayflower. I had never seen a tub like this before!
Now the problem is: the shower head, tub faucet and water control knob (I can't think of the word) are on the far side. Yep. The corner that is the farthest recessed away from the edge. You either have to lean WAY out over the tub, which is super dangerous, more so for short people Or actually stand in the tub, in order to turn the water on and off. The drain is on the opposite corner – the near-side.
I'm trying to figure out if that was normal design for tubs of this style or just a …unique…aspect of my bathroom done for reasons connected to the adventure of plumbing on a slab. The answer may affect what we ultimately do to renovate the bathroom (I like the overall style but it does need some fixing up).
Thanks for any tips!
Hi there,
We purchased a mid-mod home in Riverside, California, The main bathroom looks to have been renovated in the 80's but the original Cinderella tub remains and is in great condition – sadly it looks to hav been reglazed beige – we are thinking we would like to reglaze again in a different color. The wall mount taps are leaking from the inside so we know we need to to open up the walls and retile. We want to keep the tub but we are thinking about updating everything else – Do you have recommendations a vintage/modern reno? Is subway tile best? What kind of vanity would work? How do you prevent water form going everywhere when showering? Would glass doors work or should we do a custom shower curtain rod with tie backs? I want vintage but ultra modern – sort of a
take on the original mid-mod design.
