FAB new day for old factory
A local businessman has snapped up the old Owens-Brockway facility on Fairfield Avenue and is looking for tenants to fill it with workers again.
Shelton resident Scott Polatsek and his brothers formed Fairfield Avenue Bridgeport LLC, or FAB, and bought the 88,824-foot building at 1720 Fairfield Ave. in Bridgeport late last month.
The facility has been empty since July 2008, when Continental AFA closed down.
"I think it's a great location, right off of (Interstate) 95," said Polatsek, who also runs a tile business. "We're looking to subdivide or rent it out to one user."
Polatsek said the building will require some renovation.
FAB LLC bought the building for $300,000 as part of the settlement of Continental AFA's Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Missouri-based Continental, which was owned by the New York-based hedge fund Harbinger Capital Partners, bought the Bridgeport facility from Owens in 2003.
But Continental went bankrupt in August 2008. Its buildings and equipment still are being sold off across the country. The workers in Bridgeport made molds used to create parts, including spray heads, for more than 70 years in the building.
Active factory work has been carried out on that spot since the 1800s, according to David Gorbach of Colonial Realty of Fairfield. Gorbach was the sole broker involved in the deal and represented the bankruptcy court.
"We were able to find someone pretty quick," Gorbach said. But it took a little longer to close because of the bankruptcy process, he said.
Gorbach said the building was listed for about six months before Polatsek's company moved on it. It took another six to eight months to close the deal, Gorbach said.
Until the past year or two of Continental's decline, more than 300 people each day worked in the building at 1720 Fairfield Ave., Gorbach said.
He said the site has frontage on three streets and parking. It probably would be ideal for warehousing or some sort of industrial use, he said.
Gorbach, who has worked in the local real estate market for 32 years, said one of the perks of his jobs is seeing buildings and sites such as these not go to waste.
"The one intangible that I really get a lot of satisfaction out of is seeing an empty building, making a deal, and coming back and seeing some people working there," he said.
Despite the economy, there is interest in space in Bridgeport, according to Don Eversley, the city's director of economic development.
"We've got a lot of overall activity," Eversley said, rattling off several new companies that have moved into the city in the past 12 months.
He said even with a higher tax rate in the city, the lower cost of leasing and the easy access to transportation make Bridgeport a good place for business.

Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head, feed your head
'White Rabbit', written by Grace Slick
Yes, we love chocolate a lot around here, to the extent that Ellen Kushner once shared her hot chocolate recipe with us, the same chocolate drink quite popular with the characters in her Swordspoint novel and other Riverside tales. You'll have to ask Mrs. Ware and her Kitchen staff for it as I've never actually been told what it is. Oh, and that toast is spread with the Lindt Chocolate Hazelnut Spread which they've just starting selling here in the UK. Really, really ymmmy!
It's summer, so the Neverending Session has decamped from the Pub to the Greensward 'til the sun starts to come down to take advantage of the fantastic summer weather. Yes, I know this is Scotland, which has shitty summer weather, but we share The Border with that place, call it, if you will, Tír na hÓige, and their Summer Court love warm, sunny summers so we get the same. Now guess what it's like when the Winter Court holds sway…
Cat has a rather good SF novel with mythological underpinnings for us: 'On a whim, I picked it up a novel and started reading it — it felt like classic Zelazny such as The Isle of The Dead, so I kept reading. Now keep in mind that this never before published Zelazny novel was finished posthumously with the help of his coauthor and companion, Jane Lindskold. But unlike so many of this sort of collaboration, Donnerjack has Zelazny written all over it.'
Robert has a look at a poetry collection, Mark Doty's Sweet Machine: 'I don't know if it's possible for anyone not to be taken by Mark Doty's poetry. Reading one or two (which I try to do with poetry, so as not to become too glib about it) is like eating one or two pistachios: before you know it, you've done the book cover to cover and your mind is too congested for any use whatsoever. And your hair is standing straight up.'
How about life in medieval Japan? That's what's in store in our next offering. Robert says: 'f the title sounds daunting, don't be worried. William E. Diehl's Handbook to Life in Medieval and Early Modern Japan is a well-organized and eminently usable reference to the history, arts, and customs of Japan from 1185, the beginning of the Kamakura Period, to 1868, the end of the Edo Period, which is to say, the end of the Tokugawa shogunate and the restoration of the Emperor.'
Robert has a Scandinavian candy bar for our inspection: 'Troika is one of those candies that comes only in Norwegian — the label is in Norwegian, the web site is in Norwegian, and so on. Nidar is one of three companies that consolidated to form Orkla Confectionary and Snacks in 2013, and is a major confectioner throughout the Baltic region, with companies in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Latvia and Estonia.'
Sometimes the companion work to an awesome series is every bit as good as that series, as Cat tells us here: 'The Art of The Mouse Guard is nearly three hundred and seventy pages of awesomeness and it's packed with artworks such as sketches, pen and ink illustrations, and painted art. Let's not overlook the photos of miniature sets of interiors and buildings that were used as references. Yes miniature sets of interiors and buildings were built by David Peterson to help him visualise the unique reality that his mice exist in.'
Three albums from one of the legendary San Francisco rock bands, Jefferson Airplane, get an appreciative look-see by David: 'Psychedelic music was originally so named because it sought to recreate musically the mind-expanding experience of LSD. "Psychedelic, man!" The center of this music was unquestionably San Francisco, with bands like the Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service, and the Jefferson Airplane. Straight from Haight-Ashbury to you they brought in special lighting techniques, extended trippy solos, exotic Middle Eastern modal influences, and more . . . "far freakin' out!" These three albums provide a workshop on yhe latter's efforts to expand the minds of a nation.'
After you've read that review, go read Deborah's Flight Plan: A look back at the Jefferson Airplane an essay which not only covers some essential recordings and even a few books about the band, but is also a fascinating look at her relationship to that music.
Gary reviews a new CD by Clay Parker and Jodi James, a musical couple from Baton Rouge. Their album The Lonesomest Sound That Can Sound 'stands out quietly in the crowded Americana field,' he says.
Canadian folk-rockers Cowboy Junkies are marking the 30th Anniversary of one of their best-known albums The Trinity Session. Gary says 'All That Reckoning, all these years later, still is built around Margo Timmins' hushed vocals, but this one seethes with a barely suppressed rage at the present state of the Western world.'
'John Prine is the folk singer America deserves. And needs,' Gary says. 'And boy, do we need this new album of his.'
We're not sure who wrote this Folkmanis review as our What Not this time, as that information does seem to have gone walkabout: 'Folkmanis has gained an excellent reputation in recent decades for its overwhelming array of puppets. The plushies range from eerily lifelike to utterly fantastical. Right now I'm holding the Sea Serpent Stage Puppet in my hand. Well, okay, I'm wearing it on my hand. . . is that so wrong?'
If there's any voice that match the cool, strong feel of Grace Slick, it'd be in my not so humble opinion that of June Tabor, whom I've heard live and that we've reviewed many a time, including this review of An Echo Of Hooves. Now imagine that she performed Slick's 'White Rabbit' with quite possibly the finest English folk rock band ever in the form of the Oysterband which has been reviewed here many, many times, including Ragged Kingdom which is their second second album with Taborr, the first being Freedom and Rain some thirty years ago .
Well you don't need to imagine it happening as it did and you can hear 'White Rabbit' as performed by her and the Oysterband at City Varieties in Leeds on a November night just seven years ago.

Gluten-free mini Christmas puddings with spiced toffee sauce
Serves 8 | prep 30 mins | total time
Gluten-free mini Christmas puddings with spiced toffee sauceSubscribe to Sainsbury's magazine
Serves 8 | prep 30 mins | total time
Nutritional information (per serving)
- 1 x 250g pack pitted dates, finely chopped
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 50g soft dairy-free margarine, plus extra for greasing
- 175g caster sugar
- 5 heaped tbsp mincemeat
- 175g gluten-free self-raising flour (or use 175g gluten-free plain flour mixed with ¾ tsp gluten-free baking powder)
- ½ tsp xanthan gum
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
For the spiced toffee sauce
- 200g dairy-free margarine
- 1 tsp mixed spice
- 250g light brown soft sugar
- 250ml soya cream
Step by step
Get ahead
Bake up to a few hours ahead; turn out after 10 minutes. Reheat in the microwave for about 45 seconds until hot through.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4; lightly grease 8 x 175ml mini pudding basins.
- Place the chopped dates in a bowl, mix in the bicarbonate of soda, pour over 300ml boiling water and leave to stand.
- In a large bowl, gently cream together the margarine and sugar with a wooden spoon, then stir in the mincemeat until combined. Sift in the flour and xanthan gum, add the ground flaxseed, then pour over the dates and their liquid. Fold together until combined.
- Divide the mixture between the pudding basins, level, bake on a baking tray in the centre of the oven for 30 minutes or until cooked through – a cocktail stick inserted into the centre of each pudding should come out clean.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce. In a small pan, melt the margarine, mixed spice and sugar with a pinch of salt over a low heat. Whisk in the soya cream until combined, heating gently for 5 minutes until smooth and glossy.
- Once the puddings are baked, remove from the oven; leave in their tins for 10 minutes. Run a sharp knife around the edge of each pudding to help loosen it from the tin, then carefully tip out onto a serving plate. Pour over the spiced toffee sauce and serve.
A great alternative for those who aren't keen on traditional Christmas pudding; serve these with the decadent spiced toffee sauce

With the NDP in this position -- and even ahead of the Conservatives in some surveys -- various media outlets have hurled a series of micro-"scandals" their way that, for the most part, are totally absurd and reek of desperation.
Of greater concern for those who want to see Ford lose, though, is that if the NDP and Conservatives are really neck-and-neck, both with levels of support in the high 30s, the path to a Ford majority is far clearer and more likely than the path to a Horwath one.
In this, the third of our weekly The Left Chapter round-ups we look at this past week's themes, news and developments.
Should Horwath be walking away with this?
While the ONDP has risen rather dramatically in the polls since the writ dropped, there is ample evidence that had they been running on a platform that was more inspiring and was not simply a tiny smidgen to the "left" of the Liberal one they could very well be walking away with this election right now.
For example, as Supriya Dwivedi noted on Global:
A new poll by Ipsos conducted exclusively for Global News has found that a significant number of NDP voters, 46 per cent, are voting for the NDP in order to keep another party out of power. In other words, the NDP is benefitting from the unpopularity of the other two options, and seeming like the least bad option.We have noted this dynamic at play in the past as well.
The difficult path to an NDP victory
Some polls have the NDP slightly ahead, while others have them slightly behind the Conservatives. Another poll has the NDP more significantly ahead. For reasons that will become clear shortly, folks wanting to see Ford stopped had best hope that this last one is the closest to the truth.
According to the CBC's poll tracker the NDP sits at 36.2% while the Conservatives are at 35.7%. Yet despite this the CBC projects a 70% likelihood of a Ford majority if these numbers are accurate.
Éric Grenier's excellent article, What the 1990 election can - and can't - tell us about the Ontario NDP's chances today, which is worth reading in full, outlines this very well:
Despite the relatively close margin between the PCs and the NDP in the polls, the Poll Tracker still heavily favours the PCs to win a majority government.The disturbing reality is that Ford could win a substantial majority with a vote as low as 35-37% while the ONDP is very unlikely to.
This is because the PC vote is more efficient — the party has a better base of support and is ahead in the Greater Toronto Area, where nearly half the seats in the province are located.
The projections suggest that for the New Democrats to win even a slim majority, they may need a lead of three to five points over the PCs provincewide.
In 1990, however, the New Democrats won a comfortable majority — nearly 40 seats ahead of Peterson's Liberals — despite beating the Liberals in the popular vote by only five per cent.
One of the factors contributing to the NDP's 1990 majority win (something even Rae at the time didn't see coming) was the presence of two small right-wing parties.
The Family Coalition and the Confederation of Regions (COR) parties combined for nearly five per cent of the vote provincewide in 1990. In 11 ridings, the combined vote of the Family Coalition and the COR was greater than the margin between the losing PC and winning NDP candidates.
Had enough of these votes gone to the PCs instead, the NDP would have fallen just short of a majority. The split on the right made the NDP's vote more efficient than it otherwise would have been.
Though there are several smaller right-of-centre parties running in this election, none are expected to have the same kind of impact. If they did, the NDP's chances of winning a majority government in 2018 would be better.
Ludicrous NDP "scandals" while the Conservatives face real ones
Various right-wing media outlets across the province, most notably the Toronto Sun, have been seeming to try to derail the NDP's momentum with a variety of absurd micro-"scandals" that are so silly they reek of desperation.
Examples include digging up an allegedly shared meme on Facebook implying that an NDP candidate is sympathetic to Nazism when she very clearly is not, and finding a photo of an NDP candidate holding a sign at a rally a decade ago that read "Fuck the Police" -- a sentiment which many people, especially in marginalized and racialized communities have had every reason to express over the years, though Horwath and her candidate, of course, disavowed it.
These alleged "gotcha" moments are isolated and either from many years ago or taken out of context and mean quite a bit less than, say, The Ford family's history with drug dealing as outlined in a Globe and Mail expose in 2013 or a Conservative candidate saying "I think if someone wants to open a business and only hire people of one race...I think they should have that right" as recently as 2015.
Meanwhile, right now during the election an "Ontario PC Candidate Shares Theory Linking Schools and Hospitals to Secret 'Globalist' Conspiracy" while another "Carleton PC candidate says she doesn't believe climate change is man-made".
Further, of course, we saw the "Liberals claim Ford participated in 'bogus' membership sales, intimidated a PC nominee", which is a very serious allegation. This led to the farce of "Doug Ford dodges journalists before fleeing Brantford event through the back door".
I think to an objective observer it is perfectly clear which are the "scandals" actually worth paying attention to.
Buck a beer
You know a campaign is both very concerned and reaching low when:
The tweet and meme was met, rightly, with considerable derision.
Doug Ford releases detailed platform
Dumbest move of the election award
Memo to anyone, from any party, running anywhere, ever...this is something you should never do:

What are your short and long-term goals; how are you preparing to achieve them?
This question is aimed at finding out what kind of person you are. Keep in mind that your goals must be achievable and you should be prepared to explain how you plan to achieve those goals. Have several short-term (in the next 12-24 months) and several long-term goals (2-5 years) to present.
What do you see yourself doing five years from now?
This question is to see if you can set achievable goals for yourself and whether the position and organization fits with your long-term plans. Even if you know there may be opportunities for advancement within the organization, be cautious about talking about your desire for promotion at this time.
Why did you apply for this position?
The interviewer is trying to learn whether you will be satisfied in your job and likely to stay. Explain why you are interested in the position and working for the company.
What do you consider to be your greatest strengths and weaknesses?
Try to highlight your most positive attributes (i.e. skill, reliability, enthusiasm.) Make sure to use examples to illustrate your positive qualities and how they apply to work. Do not describe any weaknesses that may be essential to performing effectively on the job and avoid making negative comments. Talk about things that you have improved and the steps you took to do so.
How would you describe yourself?
The interviewer is asking you to profile yourself to see if you fit with the company and to get a sense of your self-image and how it compares with his/her perception of you. Be factual and use the opportunity to sell yourself without being arrogant.
What qualifications do you have that make you think you will be successful in this position?
The interviewer is asking you to profile yourself to make their decision for them. If you have to hesitate or can think of only one or two reasons, they will think that the qualifications are not obvious or sufficient enough. Quickly list your skills and positive characteristics.
What two or three professional accomplishments have given you the most satisfaction and why?
This question is to find out what kind of professional accomplishments give you a sense of pride. Pick several accomplishments, explain why they satisfied you and how they are related to your job performance.
How do you work under pressure? Give me an example?
This question indicates that your job will involve working under pressure and deadlines so reassure the interviewer by giving examples of times that involved pressure/deadlines. Stress how capable you are in rising to the occasion.
What do you know about your company?
The interviewer wants to know if you have done any research about the company. To reassure the interviewer, mention as many positive features about the job, company or organization as you can.
What have you learned from your mistakes?
This question is designed to see if you recognize that you have made mistakes and then how you resolved the problem. Be honest – this is a test of your credibility and integrity. Use examples of real mistakes that you have made – stress how what you learned led to a better job performance.
What criteria are you using to evaluate the company for which you work?
The interviewer wants to know that you are being targeted in your job search and that you do not want to work for just any company. Give several examples of things that you look for in companies that you wish to work for (i.e. Good reputation, room for advancement, excellent products, friendly work environment etc.).
Tell me about a time when you had to make a decision but didn't have all the information you needed?
Use a real anecdote from your experience. The answer doesn't have to be elaborate – it could be a simple situation that was handled well.
What is the most significant contribution you made at your most recent place of employment?
Tell a story about an accomplishment that added value to the company, demonstrating skills that show initiative or resilience. Relate the outcome of your work.
What is the biggest mistake you've made?
Be honest. You will show credibility and integrity. Be careful, however, to concentrate your answer on describing what you have learned from your mistake.
Was there anything that you were afraid I was going to ask you? Why did it make you uncomfortable?
Keep it cool. Many people blurt out the question they didn't want asked. Be prepared for this one.
If I were to talk to your former employers and co-workers, what would they say about you?
Have an open letter of recommendation from your last employer which you can summarize and hand to the interviewer. If you do not have such a letter, list the positive things that they would say about you. Supply the interviewer with a list of references including telephone numbers.
Describe your ideal job
The interviewer wants to see how close a fit there is between your ideal job and the job you are applying for to determine if you will be happy. In general terms, describe a position quite similar to the one for which you are applying. Also describe the ideal company you would like to work for.
What did you enjoy most/least about your last position?
This is to determine what gives you the most or least job satisfaction and whether the current position will offer the same elements. Try to pick something that you know will be present in the position you are applying for. Give examples of how your job performance improved because of the presence of these elements.
Have you ever quit a job? Why?
Be honest – people quit jobs every day for very legitimate reasons. Regardless of the reason, present it in a professional manner. Do not badmouth your past employer of the situation. Simply explain why you left that position. This shows your maturity and integrity.
Do you prefer to work under supervision or on your own?
This question is to find out if you can work independently if the position so requires. Use examples of how you have worked independently in the past but also worked under supervision. Show your flexibility.
Would you be successful working on a team?
In this question, you are being asked to demonstrate your ability to get along well with others. Speak of the advantages of working in a group. Use positive examples of working on a team from your own experience. You may want to talk about the role you generally play in a team environment and what you can offer the team.
Are you able to work on several assignments at once?
This question indicates that your job will involve working on several assignments – the interviewer wants to know if you can if you can handle multiple tasks without being overwhelmed. Use examples from your past to show how you are quite capable of doing this.
Which do you prefer, large or small companies? Why?
The interviewer wants to know if you will fit in with the company. Answer accordingly but be sure to give concrete reasons why you prefer large or small companies.
How do you feel about working overtime? Travel? Possibility of relocation?
Be honest. If these questions are asked, chances are the position will involve overtime, travel or relocation. Ask the interviewer for more details and be honest in your response.
Do you have hobbies? Tell me about them
The interviewer is trying to determine what kind of person you are outside of work. This is the time to talk about any volunteer work you do, any teams you may participate on etc.
What kind of person gets on your nerves
Perhaps there is a difficult person in the department and the interviewer is trying to determine if you could work with this person. Stress how you can get along with most people and use examples from your past experiences of how you have interacted with difficult people.
Define Success. Define Failure
This is a very personal question. The interviewer wants to know how you personally judge success or failure. You may want to address this as an individual success or failure verses corporate success per failure.

Richmond, VA, February 2, 2004–Ethyl Corporation (NYSE: EY) –President and Chief Executive Officer, Thomas E. Gottwald, released the following earnings report for the fourth quarter and year 2003 and update on the company's operations. We are pleased to report to you that 2003 was a year of continuing accomplishments. We met our goals of improving earnings, continuing to reduce debt and establishing a long-term capital structure. Earnings improved in both our Petroleum Additives and TEL segments. Our debt reduction was significant and exceeded our target. The long-term borrowing structure entered into in April of 2003 provides us with our desired platform to enable us to continue to build for the future. Our results reflect these accomplishments. For the year 2003, earnings excluding discontinued operations and certain nonrecurring items were $20.7 million, or $1.23 per share, a significant improvement over earnings on the same basis last year of $12.0 million or 72 cents per share. On this same basis, earnings for the fourth quarter 2003 also showed improvement with income of $4.7 million, or 28 cents per share, compared to earnings of $1.0 million or 6 cents per share for fourth quarter 2002. For clarification, the nonrecurring items and discontinued operations are disclosed individually in the summary of earnings chart at the end of this press release which total to net income under generally accepted accounting principles.Earnings for this year's fourth quarter did not include any discontinued operations or significant nonrecurring items; however, fourth quarter last year, as well as the total year earnings for 2003 and 2002, included such items. On this basis, net income for 2003 amounted to $37.1 million, or $2.21 per share, compared to net income for 2002 of $9.9 million or 59 cents per share. Net income for last year's fourth quarter was $3.1 million, or 18 cents per share. Petroleum additives segment operating profit before nonrecurring items improved 13 percent over last year. This represents the best earnings results from this segment since 1999. Net sales were also up 15 percent reflecting higher sales in all of our major petroleum additives product lines. Margins continued to be adversely affected by rising raw material costs as only a small portion was recovered through increased pricing. Earnings also benefited from a favorable foreign exchange impact as the dollar continued to weaken against the Euro and Yen. Our commitment to supplying our customers with top quality products is reflected in our increased research, development and testing costs which are part of our ongoing effort to improve our products and services to meet our customers' needs.Operating profit in our TEL segment also improved for this year and fourth quarter compared to last year's periods. While volumes shipped declined as we expected, the improved earnings reflect the benefit of improved pricing and the absence in 2003 of certain cost incurred in the 2002 periods.We continue to make excellent progress on our debt reduction program. For the year 2003, we reduced debt $81 million. The net proceeds from the sale of our phenolic antioxidant business contributed $19 million to the debt reduction. Lower interest expense also benefited our earnings.We are extremely pleased with the continuing improvement in earnings as well as our progress on debt reduction. Our debt is now at a point where it will not be a significant focus in our future communications with the investing public. As we look toward 2004, we continue to face a difficult external environment. This environment is characterized by the factors we have discussed throughout 2003; namely, margin compression as raw material prices increase, continuing demand for new high performance products, and a highly competitive marketplace. Despite these challenges, Ethyl dedicated employees around the world continue to find ways to bring increased value to our customers and shareholders. We salute their continuing commitment and the progress they have achieved.Sincerely,Thomas E. GottwaldThis press release contains a brief summary of the fourth quarter and year results. Please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K filing for a more complete discussion of our business results.Fourth quarter 2002 and earnings for both years 2003 and 2002 include significant nonrecurring items and discontinued operations as noted in the table below. The following summary of earnings totaling net income under generally accepted accounting principles is included below as part of the earnings release.

I still feel like I need to sleep for days...a sure sign I'm getting old.
The trip to Missouri was great. I was able to spend some sweet time w/ my hilarious and too-cute-to-be-real grandparents, as well as my 92 yo great-great Aunt Mabel.Yep, 92 and still sharp as a tack. Funny too.
Aunt Mabel told me stories about my Great Grandpa (her brother) who passed away 3 years ago. She also gave me two pictures of her mom (my great-GREAT grandma) and I learned that the china I inherited (and, ashamedly, never used) was this grandma's.
So cool to hear family history from the people who were actually there.
I'm still in recovery though. I spent most of this weekend doing laundry or sleeping. Plus I haven't been feeling terrific so I think I have a trifecta in place for the perfect lazy storm.
BTW- Northern Arkansas is beautiful. I didn't know this. Now I do.
In other news, an errand run Sunday ended along the side of the road with careful steps over happy little blossoms. At one point I teetered precariously above the state flower afraid one slip of the foot could desecrate sacred ground.
It's pretty early here in Tejas for the Bluebonnets. These gorgeous buds usually fill up fields in April but this warm weather has hastened their arrival. They suck me in every time.
I'm a black-thumb who loves green. What can I say?
What's your state flower? Do you get excited to see spring blossoms? Anyone else love old people too?

So. First off, sorry guys I disappeared for a month there! Been busy…again.
Secondly, I have a dilemma. It goes like this….
A while back I had a sudden urge to go back and reread this series I had taken a liking to previously. It's been like 6 years since I read just one of the books. The only book that was available in my local library at the time. As of this moment, I don't remember which book it was, only that I was aware after finishing the book that it wasn't the first book. I also knew that the library didn't have any of the other sequels without having to resort to interlibrary loans. So I left it at that. Because you know, I wasn't that much of a reader at the time with school work taking over my life and stress levels on the rise.
Below is the series I'm talking about:
Another thing I should mention is that at the time when I first encountered this series, I wasn't really into horror/thriller, however, since then I've come to really like his genre–in my opinion it's a whole lot freakier written than shown, which explains why I always get so bored watching thriller and horror movies.
The Unseen series by Richie Tankersley Cusick really did catch my attention last time, and so I wanted to give it a go again. Now when I went onto my library website the other day (after I went on Goodreads to double check which books belong to the series and who actually wrote the series–I didn't know, didn't take note at all previously, but I have a knack for remembering things about the book enough to find them through google) all prepared to go through my usual ritual. Cracking my fingers one at the time–one didn't crack but that's okay, all the others did–and rolling my neck, I prepared to go on a book holding binge. First I put some books by Gemma Halliday on hold, then I put a few books for the Quarterly Book Club on hold, then I moved onto the Unseen.
It was as I was doing this did I realise why I decided not to continue the series last time. I just can't believe that years later, the problem still hasn't been fixed. It makes me wonder if Richie Tankersley Cusick's books were that unpopular, or that the librarians really haven't read everything in their libraries (I know, I know, it's impossible to read everything! But you could at least try….I'm joking by the way). I find book one, yes! I find book three and four, double yes! Essentially I'm ecstatic that those were in the system and wha-la, on hold for me. But then I stopped. My mind halted, and told me to backtrack because something wasn't right here. It only took me a second to realise what it was that was wrong.
It wasn't there. The Unseen Part 2: Rest In Peace wasn't there…
Now, this shouldn't be a big deal right? Should I just tell the librarians and ask them to request it? I don't know how it works at other libraries, but I've tried this before. And it became a whole big mess. I really dislike messes, and misunderstandings and while I'm not shy, I also like to avoid conflict as much as possible, hence…I will not be trying that again for a very long time. Which leaves me with a BIG book dilemma. For those who can resonate my feelings, I don't like reading a series in jumbled order. I have a big thing for reading it in order, and if there's a book missing it's like my whole body freezes, my eyes widen and I'm stuck in an ongoing loop until I can somehow break it by obtaining a solution.
1) Tell the library, request book 2. Easy. Except as mentioned above, I won't be doing that again for a while. AND it's not my fault, why should I have to tell the librarians that they suck at their job–how could they have an unfinished series in their library????? (Book Nerd Habits Kicking In). Not to mention even if I could request it, I don't know how long it will take to come into the library, and by then the other books will probably have to go back…
Tell the library, request book 2
2) Buy the second book. Read it. And get it over an done with. But why should I buy it? Just one single book and not the others? I only do that if there's only one book in the series I like. But while I'm interested in this series, I don't know if I like it enough to buy the second book and just read it. I've look for both paperback and ebooks of book two and if I honestly do not think it's worth purchasing the ebook for approximately $6 when the paperback is only a little bit more than that. In saying that, I still wouldn't want to buy just one book of a series and not the whole one, but do I really want to buy the whole series, I have wayyyyy more series I would rather spend my money on.
Buy the second book–I don't know
3) Just read the books that I have, skip the second book and deal with it. This is a problem. I don't want to skip the second book. Having a hole in my reading this series kind of really sucks, and it's not a very pleasant idea. I'd miss so much, and it just wouldn't feel complete. I would always think about the hole in the series, and it would probably drive me mad.
Just read what I have–I don't know
Hence, I am stuck with a dilemma. What should I do? What would you do? Ignoring for a fact that requesting the book at the library is an option, what would you do? Would you go ahead and read the series, or would you buy the second book? Or would you just buy the whole series? Even if you could request it at the library, what if takes so long that by the time you get it, you have to return the other books, so it feels like it had been a big waste of time to begin with?
It's funny, it's not even a big deal, yet it bugs me a whole lot!

If you own and operate a family farm, then you understand that it is your legacy and what puts food on your table. Your farm will be passed down to the next generation. Sunrise Solar can help ensure that your legacy is secured well beyond that.
With an investment into solar power, a family farm can take advantage of incentives to benefit both your farm and the environment.
A combination of tax incentives (federal, state, and local) and tax credits for solar power can help you reduce your overall tax burden. For example, the Investment Tax Credit is a dollar-for-dollar credit that can help you recoup 30% of your investment in solar energy.
Farms can also be a beneficiary of aggregate metering or net metering.
Depending on the location where your farm is located, you can use a meter that is reliant on solar power to help off-set other meters throughout your operation. One system can help you reduce (or eliminate) your energy costs at other meters at your residence, operating your irrigation, shop, or other meters across the farm.
Finally, through our referral program you can earn money back for residential or commercial customers you recommend to us.
Once their project is completed, Sunrise Solar will cut you a check.
In order to pass your family farm to your children and future generations, it needs to be a sustainable operation. Sunrise Solar and solar power can help ensure the farm stays in your family and provides a way of life you desire for them.

What Could We Do About It?

Part of the Astronomers' Universe book series (ASTRONOM)
Lately there have been more and more news stories on objects from space – such as asteroids, comets, and meteors – whizzing past Earth. One even exploded in the atmosphere over a Russian city in 2012, causing real damage and injuries. Impacts are not uncommon in our Solar System, even on Earth, and people are beginning to realize that we must prepare for such an event here on Earth.
What if we knew there was going to be an impact in 10 years' time? What could we do? It's not so far in the future that we can ignore the threat, and not so soon that nothing could be done. The author and his colleagues set out to explore how they could turn aside a rock asteroid, one kilometer in diameter, within this 10-year timescale.
Having set themselves this challenge, they identified the steps that might be taken, using technologies that are currently under development or proposed. They considered an unmanned mission, a follow-up manned mission, and a range of final options, along with ways to reduce the worst consequences for humanity if the impact cannot be prevented.
With more warning, the techniques described could be adapted to deal with more severe threats. If successful, they can generate the capability for a much expanded human presence in space thereafter. With the dangers now beginning to be recognized internationally and with major new programs already in motion, the prospects for civilization and humanity, in relation to the danger of impacts, look much more hopeful than they did only a decade ago.

Ontario Working to Strengthen Trade and Investment Ties with India
Expanding the Reach of Ontario Businesses Globally
TORONTO — Helping Ontario businesses gain access to strategic markets, Vic Fedeli, Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade will lead a business mission to India from November 18 to 22. The business delegation will travel to New Delhi and Mumbai to leverage Ontario's strengths in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and Infrastructure.
Diversifying Ontario's trading partners and expanding the reach of businesses is critical for the long-term economic growth of the province and key to Ontario's open for business, open for jobs strategy. India is one of the fastest growing markets in the world and has significant potential for business partnerships and investment attraction for Ontario.
"In order to compete and succeed globally, you have to move at the speed of business to capitalize on valuable economic opportunities and investment dollars," said Fedeli. "Made in Ontario means a standard of quality that is second to none and we will proudly promote our goods and services in key markets like India so that we can grow our economy and create good jobs here at home."
With $3.1 billion in two-way trade between Ontario and India, nine per cent of Canadian exports to India are from Ontario. Home to one of North America's largest ICT sectors and world-class technology industries, Ontario is well-positioned to seize opportunities for greater collaboration and growth with India, which is on track to become the largest sourcing destination for information and technology. Minister Fedeli will be joined by business leaders from ICT and Infrastructure sectors who will explore potential partnerships and investment opportunities while in-market.
Also, with hundreds of planned infrastructure projects on the horizon, there are opportunities for Ontario to leverage its international reputation in construction, technology design and quality standards to meet India's growing infrastructure demands.
By diversifying Ontario's global trading partners and exports, the government of Ontario is creating a climate for business and economic growth.
Quick Facts
- India is the seventh largest economy in the world, and one of the fastest-growing markets.
- With $3.1 billion in two-way trade between Ontario and India, nine per cent of Canadian exports to India are from Ontario.
- Ontario's jobs are the most export reliant in Canada with 1 in 5 workers, or 1.3 million people, dependent on exports.
- Ontario maintains Trade and Investment Offices in Delhi and Mumbai to facilitate investment deals, support Ontario small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) expand their export capacity and promote Ontario's open for business mandate.

Anisotropic thermoelectric effects can be measured in certain materials. Anisotropy can also be simulated using a repeated, layered structure of two materials cut at an angle. Various aspect ratios and angles of inclination are investigated in device geometry in order to maximize the thermopower. Eddy currents have been shown to occur in thermoelectric devices, and evidence of these currents are revealed in finite element analysis of the artificially synthesized anisotropic Peltier effect.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has called for more unity in Nigeria as he raised an alarm that the nation is in danger.
According to him, the situation in the country now is worse than what was experienced during the civil war.
He stated this on Thursday during a one-day 2019 annual retreat/conference organised by the Association of Chief Audit Executives of Banks in Nigeria (ACAEBIN) which held in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
"When we look at this country today, even during the civil war, we were not as divided as we are today. Today, we are in danger if we don't take partnership seriously.
"Partnership within our people and partnership within Africa and the rest of the world," he said.
Obasanjo also called on leaders to take the issue of governance seriously especially considering the nation's increasing population.
He believes that if governance is effective, illiteracy will be eradicated among citizens which will in turn, lead to human development.
Among other things, the former President called on leaders to provide education for citizens, housing, healthcare and more importantly employment for the people.
"The first is politics which is governance. Unless we get governance right, any other thing we are trying to do will not be right," he said.
"The second is population. Our population at independence, we were estimated to be 45 million, but today we are 200 million. By the year 2050, we will be over 400 million.
"Normally, the population should be an asset but looking at the condition we are in now when in the North-East of Nigeria, the percentage of adult literacy is about 53%. You can see that; we have a problem and education is basic in all human development.
"How do we think of setting education to be useful? Those people who will make our education over 400 million in years' time are already born, and you cannot unborn them. So, the problem is here, what do we do?" he asked.

This is one of the latest things I have got. A perfume by Nina Ricci. I do not really know how come, but I really like her perfumes. The senses are fresh and also a bit youthful an top of that, the senses are not heavy. However, this perfume bottle has not the shape of apples like many other of her perfumes. Most likely it is because this perfume is for older group. But, First some other perfumes have to get empty before I can start with this bottle.

Hexagon Pincushions
I found this Hexagon Pincushion pattern the other day at Ravelry and fell in love with the color possibilities and just the funness(i just made this word up) of making. I bought some needle point wool from a lady on Craig's List. The colors were so amazing. I thought this project would be perfect for the small amounts of wool in each skein. It turns out to be just right. 6 skeins of different colors is enough for one pincushion.

Previous Campaigns
2018 / 2017
To mark the launch of the first ever MBCV campaign, renowned designer Paul Cocksedge designed a large-scale art installation that comprised of the names of 104 real people with blood cancer, brought together in a common crowd of shared experience. Each sculpture, perfectly sized to match its namesake's height, told a story of shock, sadness – but ultimately of hope and determination. Each large-scale name had a summary of the experience attached to it as a plaque. The installation was placed in a high footfall central London location of Paternoster Square from 4-30th September 2017 and was visited by thousands of people.

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Romans 8:31-34
What confidence is here in these words of St. Paul, "If God is for us, who can be against us"! How much comfort and consolation is right here for the sinner trapped in his sin, the doubter who worries about God's help, the sufferer bearing the weight of his heavy cross!
These words are the very Word of God, reminding us of WHO it is that is for us, WHO it is that delivered His own Son, WHO it is who will give us all things, WHO it is who justifies (declares us to be not guilty before God because of our sin).
Because God does not condemn you, you are not condemned. Because God justifies you on account of His Son, you are justified. Because God delivered Jesus to death on the cross for you, He will indeed give you all things. You thus have no need to worry about any lack. Only continue to trust in the Lord, for His Word will indeed come to pass.
Because God is for you (see Romans 5:1ff), no one and no thing can be against you (Romans 8:35ff). Not even Satan is able to accuse you before your Heavenly Father.
So then, why is it that we doubt these tremendous blessings of God, lay blame upon others, grumble, complain, point the finger, and say, "woe are we"? Are God's Word and His promises not 'good enough'? Do they not apply to our situation? Of course they do!
The Psalmist confidently writes, "God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling (Psalm 46:1-3).
Such words may sound inapplicable. What of local, national, and international catastrophes and turmoil? Do you, as a baptized child of God, have any reason to fear any of these things or anything else, whether it be with regard to yourself, others, or God's church? Not at all, for in Christ, you have peace with God. In Christ, you have everlasting life and salvation. In Christ, you have nothing but certainty and confidence of God's will toward you.
So "Sing praise to the LORD, You saints of His, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name" (Psalm 30:4).
Listen to the mercies of the Lord and trust in Him. Cast away all doubt and fear and turn to the Lord Christ. Believe in Him, for He alone is your hope and you stay, tomorrow and today.
"When the devil accuses us and says: "You are a sinner; therefore you are damned," then we can answer him and say: "Because you say that I am a sinner, therefore I shall be righteous and be saved." "No," says the devil, "you will be damned." "No," I say, "for I take refuge in Christ, who has given Himself for my sins. Therefore, Satan, you will not prevail against me as you try to frighten me by showing me the magnitude of my sins and to plunge me into anguish, loss of faith, despair, hatred, contempt of God, and blasphemy. In fact, when you say that I am a sinner, you provide me with armor and weapons against yourself, so that I may slit your throat with your own sword and trample you underfoot. You yourself are preaching the glory of God to me; for you are reminding me, a miserable and condemned sinner, of the fatherly love of God, who 'so loved the world that He gave His only Son, etc.' (John 3:16). You are reminding me of the blessing of Christ my Redeemer. On His shoulders, not on mine, lie all my sins. For 'the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all,' and 'for the transgressions of His people He was stricken' (Is. 53:6, 8). Therefore when you say that I am a sinner, you do not frighten me; but you bring me immense consolation." (Luther's Lectures on Galatians, LW 26, p36-37).
Prayer: Heavenly Father, keep me from doubting Your mighty Word. Help me to trust, not what I see, but what you say. Give me confidence, not in my doings, but in Yours alone, for Jesus' sake. Amen.

Hi everyone!
So glad you arrived at my page. Here's just a little background about me to help us get to know each other. I'm a board-certified physician in family medicine and sports medicine. I also am an attorney and former adjunct professor at Thomas Jefferson School of Law.
Out of college I was a multimedia designer, but I later transitioned into medicine and then law. The concept for this website and my desire to help people quit stems from a speech I gave on quitting at my law school graduation. So many people told me it had resonated with them that I continued to give similar talks, all of which were followed by many people telling me their quitting stories or asking me for suggestions on how they, too, can quit their way to a better life. I realized that one of the best ways I could contribute to the greater good would be to share the strategic quitting techniques that shaped my career in hopes that they could help others. That brings us right back here to this site.
When I'm not doctoring, lawyering, or helping people quit, I am politically active, I play multiple musical instruments (master of none!), I dance, I'm a certified yoga instructor, and I karaoke every chance I get. Oh, and I henna myself…in case you were wondering if the art on my hand is permanent, it is not:)
I'd love to help you create your best life by guiding you through a quit. If you would benefit from one-on-one coaching or consulting, please contact me and we can get you started on the path toward designing your happiness.

Shut his eyes and hugged his dad in a vision that was clear,
Dropped the cattle at the yards, put the truck away
Filled the troughs the best he could and fed his last ten bales of hay.
Then he strode towards the homestead, shoulders back and head held high,
He still knew the road was tough but there was purpose in his eye.

Before it's heroes and villains, Shazam! is all about family. The film revolves around Billy Batson (Asher Angel), an orphaned kid running away from foster homes and living in the streets of Philadelphia. He's pranking cops and causing a ruckus for social workers, and soon he is placed into a foster home by parents Rosa (Marta Milans) and Victor (Cooper Andrews) who have created a makeshift family of their own, including Billy's new siblings: Darla (Faithe Herman), Freddy (Jack Dylan Grazer), Mary (Grace Fulton), Eugene (Ian Chen), and Pedro (Jovan Armand). Even though Billy's found a loving family, he still runs away in spite of them to find his biological mother he's been searching for. Billy escapes to the subway after running away from bullies who have been picking on his brother Freddy, and finds himself transported to the Rock of Eternity, the lair of the Wizard Shazam (Djimon Hounsou). When the wizard sees Billy as "pure of heart", he transfers all of his powers into him in hopes Billy will stop the seven deadly sins and their newfound host Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Mark Strong). Now, whenever Billy says the wizard's name, he is transformed from a normal teenage boy to a classic looking hero (Zachary Levi), dressed in red spandex, a bright lightning bolt on his chest and a cape, not to mention a bunch of superpowers which he discovers with the help of his DC super fan brother, Freddy. After Dr. Thaddeus Sivana plans to take Billy's powers from him, will Billy and his alter ego Shazam be able to stop the seven deadly sins, or will he and his new family fall at the hands of disaster?
Shazam! is goofier and darker than it may look, but it is one of the most realistic movies from the DC Universe franchise. It shows the struggles of a brand new superhero and how he is figuring out his superpowers, and unlike many of DC's heroes, Shazam seeks the aid of his siblings to help him through his growing pains. Though the film suggests that wish fulfillment will only get people so far, and that power alone cannot change what's happened in the past or the damaged it caused. It does however, show that the bond of family can overcome anything.
