Early Years
At Walthamstow Hall the traditional Nursery and Reception classes are combined into one Early Years class. The core Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum is delivered through an exciting Creative Curriculum approach, where teaching and learning is enquiry based, led by a key question each Half Term. Personal and social confidence, communication and language and physical development are key areas of learning for every girl in our care. These are nurtured and developed as topics and are explored through play and adult-led activities, both inside and outside.
As girls progress with us their Literacy and Numeracy skills are developed through an appropriate mix of formal teaching and child-initiated activities within each topic. Girls also enjoy specialist teaching in PE, Ballet, Music, French and Drama.
This carefully planned programme is tailored to the different ages and stages of development of Early Years pupils. It is delivered by qualified teachers and Classroom Assistants in an environment where learning is lively, fun and full of stimulating variety. Firm foundations and enthusiasm for learning are built into our Early Years class.
Our Early Years class includes Nursery and Reception age children. Within the class the different age groups are on occasion referred to as Early Years 1 and Early Years 2. Girls in Early Years 1 are rising three or four years old, girls in Early Years 2 are rising five years old. The different groups access key areas of the curriculum appropriate to their age and stage of development.
Starting School
Girls can join Early Years from the term immediately before their third birthday. We believe that at this first step into education parents know best how much time their daughter is ready to spend in a school setting. We offer ten half day 'sessions' for girls in Early Years 1 and ask parents to choose, increase and change the number of sessions that their daughter attends each term, depending on her needs. This flexible approach enables each girl to enter school life at a pace which suits her and her family's needs.
Girls in Early Years 2 attend school full-time.
Years 1 and 2
Girls move into Year 1 the September after their fifth birthday and into Year 2 the September after they are six years old. In Years 1 and 2 girls continue to follow a carefully planned, broad programme ensuring progression tailored to individual needs. A wide range of workshops, visits and extra-curricular activities will be offered to enrich her education and provide many opportunities to explore her interests and discover her talents. Girls also participate in our Pre-Prep Wellbeing initiative, which includes Mindfulness, Yoga and Forest School sessions. New girls may join these year groups if there are spaces available.
The National Curriculum for Key Stage 1 provides the foundation on which our broad curriculum is built – but we don't stop there; our curriculum goes beyond the national curriculum recommendations and the standards achieved are often in advance of national expectations. We believe in the curriculum being comprehensive, interesting and fun.
Core Literacy and Numeracy skills are developed through daily lessons with much 1:1 attention. There are weekly lessons in Religious Studies, Science, Computing, History, Geography, PHSEE and Art/Design Technology. Specialist teachers lead lessons in P.E., Swimming, Ballet, Music and French.
In Year 1 the girls have daily reading, with Mathematics or English homework and spellings at the weekend.
In Year 2 the girls are given daily reading homework as well as weekly English and Mathematics homework and weekly spellings to learn.

Minecraft - construction handbook {review}13:31
Egmont sent us this lovely Minecraft construction handbook to review.
Both my boys are massive Minecraft fans, they play minecraft sometimes on the xbox and the tablet, too. They were ever so excited to review this, especially Charlie. He couldn't wait.
This minecraft book contains some step-by-step instruction, and tips from master build team FyreUK, to help complete awesome constructions. On each page is a different construction, giving instructions and tips on how to build the construction. It also shows and tells the reader what materials they will need for the construction.
The book has a hard cover and has 80 pages, which is beautifully illustrated throughout and fits really well with the tips, instructions and ideas, making it easier to understand.
Some of the constructions have tips and ideas to encourage the imagination, they certainly encouraged Charlie's imagination! He was coming up with all kind of ideas which were inspired from this lovely book. I asked Charlie what he thought about the book and this is what he had to say:
"It's great! It's full of new ideas and has given me some of my own ideas. It's very useful and it's easy to understand"
So there you have it, that's Charlie's opinion. He really enjoys this book to no end. He has also shown his friends this book and they seem quite impressed, too.
This book is priced at £7.99 and is well worth it, in my opinion.
This book is aged 9+
Why not check out the Egmont Minecraft page? You can also follow Egmont on Twitter.

ATLANTA — It can sometimes seem as though mass shootings are occurring more frequently. Researchers who have been studying such crimes for decades say they aren't, but they have been getting deadlier.
In the five years since a gunman killed 20 children and six adults at a Connecticut elementary school, the nation has seen a number of massacres topping the death toll from Newtown and previous mass shootings, many of them involving rifles similar to the one used at Sandy Hook.
A mass shooting is widely defined as one in which four or more people are killed in a public place, excluding domestic violence and gang-related violence.
Chattanooga saw its own mass shooting July 16, 2015, when 24-year-old Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez opened fire on two military sites, killing five service members. Killed in the attack were Sgt. Carson A. Holmquist; Gunnery Sgt. Thomas J. Sullivan; Staff Sgt. David A. Wyatt and Lance Cpl. Squire K. "Skip" Wells, all Marines; and Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Randall J. Smith.
Americans wanting to know why deadlier mass shootings are happening will get few answers. Is it is the wide availability of firearms? Is it the much-maligned "assault weapon" with its military style? Is it a failing mental health system?
"We're kind of grabbing at straws at this point in terms of trying to understand why the severity of these incidents has increased," said Grant Duwe, a criminologist who has been studying mass killings since the 1990s.
The federal government does little research on the matter, because a measure dating to the 1990s had the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention retreat from firearms research. Instead, a handful of academics, like Duwe, have toiled sometimes for decades with limited funding trying to better understand why these shootings happen and how to prevent them.
While mass shootings happen with regularity, they still remain so rare that there isn't enough information to draw conclusions with any certainty.
The profile of mass shooters — loners, depressed individuals, people who rarely smile or those who take to the internet to rant about a perceived insult or gripe — is so broad and common that it's impossible to pinpoint who might turn that anger into violence.
"There are lots of people who are isolated, don't have lots of friends, who don't smile and write ugly things on the internet and blame others for their misfortunes and don't want to live anymore and talk about mass killers and maybe even admire them," said Northeastern University professor James Alan Fox, who began studying mass shootings in the 1980s and has written six books on the topic.
Five years ago this week, Adam Lanza, a troubled young man in Newtown, Conn., shot and killed his mother in their home and then drove to Sandy Hook Elementary School with an AR-style long gun and a handgun. He fatally shot 20 children and six educators, then himself.
In the years since, the nation has witnessed even deadlier attacks: the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando in 2016 in which a gunman killed 49 people and this year's shooting in Las Vegas, where a man in a casino hotel fired on concertgoers on the ground below, killing more than 55. This year's shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas, by an Air Force veteran who shot up a church sanctuary, killing more than two dozen, also is now among the 10 deadliest mass shootings in modern U.S. history.
The rate of mass shootings has remained steady at about 20 per year for the past three decades, Fox said. Still, five of the 10 deadliest have occurred since Sandy Hook, he said.
"Some years are worse than others, and bad years tend to be followed by not-so-bad years," Fox said. While two of the deadliest took place this year, "you can't take the actions of one or two people and call it a new phenomenon. That's aberrational. You can't make any pattern or trend based on that."
It's unclear whether the higher death tolls are the result of more firearms being available or firearms being more effective. Stephen Paddock, the Las Vegas shooter, used bump stocks to allow a number of his guns to mimic fully automatic weapons, but his perch high above the outdoor concert also made the shooting more effective and deadly. That's the tactic the gunman in the 1966 University of Texas at Austin shooting used when he took to a tower overlooking the campus, shooting down for more than 90 minutes.
In half of the deadliest mass shootings, the perpetrator used at least one AR-style firearm. In one, the massacre at a McDonald's in San Ysidro, Calif., in 1984, the shooter used an Uzi submachine gun. The others were carried out with handguns, the weapon used in the majority of mass shootings.
"Contrary to what some folks may think, the incidence of mass public shootings has not increased since Sandy Hook or even the five years before that," Duwe said. "What has changed — and this is certainly true around the time of Sandy Hook and even since then — the severity of mass public shootings has certainly increased. That is one genuine change we've seen."
Jillian Peterson, an assistant professor at Hamline University and a forensic psychologist who previously worked in New York crafting psychological profiles of convicted murderers facing the death penalty, recently helped launch a project designed to catalog and analyze mass shootings dating back to the 1960s. The project is being done jointly with James Densley, an associate professor of criminal justice at Metropolitan State University.
They have no financing and are relying on about a dozen students to gather research based on public documents and media reports.
The reason why someone carries out a mass shooting has been elusive, and it's a question she hopes the research will help answer. Are mass shooters of today and the future bent on outdoing previous slayings by inflicting higher death tolls? That, too, is unclear. She cautions that such questions and answers continually evolve.
"This is ever-changing," Peterson said. "Just because we understand it today, we might not understand it tomorrow. That part gets hard. This is changing as society changes."
Some of the deadliest mass shootings in modern U.S. history
Five of the 10 deadliest mass shootings in modern U.S. history have occurred since 2012, the same year a troubled young man killed 20 children and six adults at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.
A list of some of the deadliest mass shootings:
» Oct. 1, 2017: Stephen Paddock opened fire on an outdoor music festival on the Las Vegas Strip from the 32nd floor of a hotel-casino, killing 58 people and wounding more than 500. SWAT teams with explosives then stormed his room and found he had killed himself.
» June 12, 2016: Omar Mateen opened fire at an Orlando, Fla., nightclub, killing 49 people. Mateen was later killed in a shootout with police.
» April 16, 2007: Virginia Tech student Seung-Hui Cho shot and killed 32 people and wounded 17 others in separate attacks on campus before killing himself.
» Dec. 14, 2012: In Newtown, Conn., an armed 20-year-old man entered Sandy Hook Elementary School and used a semi-automatic rifle to kill 26 people, including 20 first-graders and six adult school staff members. He then killed himself.
» Nov. 5, 2017: Devin Patrick Kelley, who had been discharged from the Air Force after a conviction for domestic violence, used an AR-style firearm to shoot up a congregation at a small church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, killing more than two dozen.
» Oct. 16, 1991: George Hennard drove his pickup truck though the front window of Luby's restaurant in Killeen, Texas, and then fatally shot 23 people, wounded 27 others and then killed himself after a shootout with police.
» July 18, 1984: James Huberty drove to a McDonald's in the San Ysidro neighborhood of San Diego, Calif., armed with an Uzi submachine gun, a shotgun and a handgun. He shot and killed 21 people, injured 19 and then was killed by a police sniper.
» Dec. 2, 2015: Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and Tashfeen Malik, 27, opened fire at a social services center in San Bernardino, Calif., killing 14 people and wounding more than 20. They fled the scene but died hours later in a shootout with police.
» Aug. 20, 1986: Postal worker Patrick Sherrill shot 20 co-workers, killing 14 of them, in Edmond, Okla. He then committed suicide.
» Aug. 1, 1966: Charles Whitman, a onetime Marine sharpshooter, opened fire on the University of Texas at Austin campus from its clocktower, killing 13 people and an unborn child and injuring around 30 others. Whitman also killed his mother and wife the night before. One shooting victim died a week later and medical examiners attributed a 17th death to Whitman in 2001.

Dive Brief:
- Schools are facing a potential lawsuit epidemic in regard to sports-related concussions and other injuries, Cort T. Malone, an insurance shareholder and Attorney Jorge R. Aviles write in District Administration.
- Discussing recent litigation regarding football-related concussions, they note that the courts dismissed a 2015 class action lawsuit filed against a state association because the association took steps to make football safer and that imposing costly requirements could force some schools to drop the sport.
- Because of this exposure, school districts need to carefully check existing insurance policies to make sure coverage for such cases is adequate and to consider the addition of specialty policies such as concussion insurance now offered in some states.
Dive Insight:
While this article focuses in preparing for potential lawsuits related to sports-related concussions, the first obligation of schools is to try to do everything possible to prevent such injuries from occurring in the first place. While most schools focus on game safety, a 2015 study presented in the Journal of American Medical Association reported that football practices were the main source of injury and concluded that "concussions during practice might be mitigated and should prompt an evaluation of technique and head impact exposure. Although it is more difficult to change the intensity or conditions of a game, many strategies can be used during practice to limit player-to-player contact and other potentially injurious behaviors."
Another recent study found brain effects in high school football players even if they were not diagnosed with concussions. Although the study concluded that more research is needed on the long-term effects of football, the recent knowledge of the potential negative effects of football on young brains has led some school districts to reconsider the place of football in the high school arena despite the college scholarship potential.
The effects of concussions cannot be ignored in other sports as well. A 2011 study in the American Journal of Sports Medicine concluded that "although the collision sports of football and boys' lacrosse had the highest number of concussions and football the highest concussion rate, concussion occurred in all other sports and was observed in girls' sports at rates similar to or higher than those of boys' sports. The increase over time in all sports may reflect actual increased occurrence or greater coding sensitivity with widely disseminated guidance on concussion detection and treatment. The high-participation collision sports of football and boys' lacrosse warrant continued vigilance, but the findings suggest that focus on concussion detection, treatment, and prevention should not be limited to those sports traditionally associated with concussion risk."

Cool Critter: Pangolin
If it's not a pinecone…or an artichoke…
…or a komodo dragon…or an anteater…
…then it must be a pangolin!
Disclaimer: Unlike our other Cool Critters, pangolins don't DO anything especially cool. They do exist, though, and the mere existence of an animal that looks like the love child of an artichoke and an anteater is pretty freaking cool.
Pangolins are long-tongued, long-clawed, toothless, scaly, noxious fume-releasing mammals. In short, they're weird-ass critters.
Pangolins do their pangolin thing (a.k.a. eat and hide) in the tropical regions of Africa and Asia. There, they scour the ground for anthills and termite mounds and use their long front claws* to tear open the nests. Once the ants are exposed, the pangolin closes its eyes, ears and nostrils (to keep the ants out, of course) and uses its wicked long tongue to collect the little buggers. That "wicked long tongue" attaches to the animal's pelvis and, when the pangolin sticks it out, is between 10 and 16 inches long**. It (the "wicked long tongue") is also covered in gobs of sticky saliva that the pangolin uses to pick up small stones, sand and live ants. The pangolin swallows everything as is—remember, it's toothless—and sends the mess of bugs and grit to its stomach where the grit grinds up the bugs.
As cool as the pangolin's "wicked long tongue" is, the animal's real claim to fame is its ability to roll up. In fact, the name pangolin comes from the Malay word "pengguling" which has a few possible meanings. We like "something that rolls up" best. Anyway, when a pangolin feels threatened, it takes advantage of the sharp keratin scales that cover everything but its face by tucking its face under its tail and rolling up. Any predator would surely think it had come across an artichoke, or at the very least an animal that totally wasn't worth the effort.
Alas, there's one predator that isn't deterred by a rolled up pangolin—or by the putrid acid a startled pangolin emits from its anal glands—and that predator, of course, is us. There are eight species of pangolin and all of them are declining. Pangolins are plagued by the usual problems like deforestation and poaching, but the main threat to these funny-looking animals is the growth in illegal pangolin trafficking. The growth in trafficking follows a growth in demand from China where pangolin meat is considered a delicacy and pangolin scales are believed to cure all sorts of ailments. A recent bust found 5 tons of pangolin meat, which officials estimated came from 1,481 pangolins. That's a lot for a species that only gives birth to one young at a time.
*Because their front claws are so long, they often walk on four legs with their forepaws curled under or on their hind legs, using their tails for balance.
**Pangolins range in size from 12 to 39 inches.

Our Guarantee
We're proud of our broadheads and we stand behind them. If you buy a new Crimson Talon G2 broadhead and it breaks, for any reason, we will replace it. No limitations, no stipulations, no expiration. Learn More
Unleash the predator with the CRIMSON TALON G2 broadhead. The world's most accurate and lethal broadhead incorporates spintite airfoil technology which spin-stabilizes arrows from the front. Three rigid airfoils on the blades achieve high-speed spin which keeps your arrow flying true. These airfoils cause the arrow to screw through the target like a drywall screw, producing a spiral wound channel – the most lethal in the bowhunting industry. Massive hemorrhaging and unmistakable blood trails result.
If you want clean, quick kills, then you want the CRIMSON TALON G2 HYPER SPEED. This is the twin brother of the CRIMSON TALON G2 without airfoil technology. Six, stainless steel, razor-sharp blades to slice through flesh and muscle, and a devastating A2 tool steel chisel tip to shatter bone. The CRIMSON TALON G2 HYPER SPEED produces massive hemorrhaging and unmistakable blood trails.
Cut to the core with the CRIMSON TALON Outlaw. This broadhead combines a solid titanium ferrule with a 3-blade locking system for extra durability and strength to create devastating entrance and exit wounds. Accurate and dependable at all distances, the Outlaw does the job done silently and efficiently as only a premium fixed-blade broadhead can. The one-piece, solid titanium ferrule is designed for extreme durability, deep penetration and silent flight, topped with a bone-crushing A2 tool steel tip that holds the three razor sharp .040" replaceable blades. The Outlaw flies true and delivers extreme blood trails. Available in both 100-grain and 125-grain models.

1062. Occurrence given to Raymond Aguilera on 14 June 1997.
The spiritual warfare has really increased in the past week. One early morning before the sun came up, I was awaken with a strong pain in my chest. I felt like I was going to have a heart attack. I was really frightened, so I began to pray to the Lord for help. Slowly, but surely the pain left. I hate those kinds of attacks, but the Lord always removes them. Then, the next two days, after awaking from my afternoon nap, I felt like I was hit with a sledge hammer in the middle of my back. And the other day on the way home from the Post Office, I could feel the Angels of God, and the angels of the devil fiercely fighting around the outside of my car. What ever is going on, I seem to be in the middle of it or in the middle of something. (over)

Thanks for the update.
I got the CD two weeks ago, and am slowly making my way through it.
I find it easiest to print off 100 pages at a time and read in the train.
The only downside is I don't have my D70 by my side to play with when requested by Thom.

St Andrews biggest Asian food event is just around the corner. Taste of Asia brings together nine Asian cultural societies together in preparing a feast of their respective local delicacies. There you get the opportunity to try foods from all over Asia, all for the mere price of 10 pounds.
Last year I stumbled upon this event on my Facebook feed. When I read the description of the event, I knew it was just what I needed. It gets to this time of the semester where you start to feel the mechanism of your schedule kicking into full gear. St Andrews starts to feel smaller, and events seem to feel more repetitive than ever. An event like this brings something new to the table – literally – with that being an introduction into new foods and new cultures. When I arrived, I was truly shocked by how many people were waiting outside the venue. It felt very similar to waiting outside the venue of a concert. I had never heard anything about this event before, and it was the very first time that it had been up and running. This just came to show how much needed an event like this was for the students of St Andrews, whether this event brought them feelings of nostalgia or feelings of curiosity. The event was run very smoothly. I was given a number of tickets, and these tickets were exchanged for dishes of my choice. I tried foods that I would never have gotten to try in St Andrews otherwise, foods I knew from growing up and foods I had never heard of. Although it was a tough competition, my favorite dish of the night was most definitely the Filipino-style spaghetti. It sounds strange at first, but it was incredibly flavorful and so much better than classic spaghetti in my opinion! Although I came into this event with the first time event jitters, I truly am so happy I went. Being in a room with so many different cultural societies really makes you appreciate how diverse St Andrews really is. Furthermore, it inspired me to seek out the recipes for these dishes!
I had the opportunity to interview three leading members behind the Taste of Asia event. I wanted to know what gave them the inspiration for this event, and what goes on behind the scenes to make this event run so smoothly. Firstly, an event of this scope involves a lot of planning. Preparations started last semester, where the Taste of Asia committee members worked side by side the different Asian societies to plan things like logistics, foods and more. On the day of the event, the society members all come together to prepare dishes. It is through this preparation that these society members find great bonding time, all working towards presenting a famous authentic dish that represents a nation. Lastly, my biggest question to them lied in the inspiration for this event. What made them want to organize an event of this scope all of a sudden? As it turns out, the inspiration came from these society members desire to break the stigma that Asian societies are only open to Asian people. These members figured that the best way to do that was to introduce this message collectively through food. One thing that really stood out to me last year was that many people, me included, were not part of these societies. It felt like many of us came into this event not knowing many people around them and not knowing what to expect. But it became clear very soon that this was a very friendly, welcoming environment. Many students who had never been to these societies' events had come for the excitement of trying new things and celebrating different cultures.
If there is anything to take away from this article, it's that Taste of Asia should be on your calendar for all you adventurous food lovers out there. This year's event will be bigger and better than last year. It has opened up to include more societies, which means for food! Furthermore, the Bubble Tea Society has also joined, which means there will be incredible drinks as well as foods to try. A great strategy is to go with a big group of friends. That way, you can all pick different dishes and share them. This will maximize your chances of trying all the dishes they have to offer! If you want to know more about the dishes, the menu has been released on the Facebook page for you to see. Just remember, you don't need to know anything about Asian food or Asian culture. If one thing is assured it is that you will be welcomed with open arms.

This leads to physical changes in pore spaces in consequence of the deposition solid phase particles originating from the drilling fluid. Due to this fact, filtration velocity in the clogged zones of the aquifer formation decreases, which results in increased pressure drawdown and decreased well hydraulic efficiency. Therefore, it causes a reduction of the well total capacity. The article consists of studies connected to the development of the mud which will constitute the basis for a complex mud system intended for hydrogeological drilling in different encountered geological conditions. In the framework of laboratory research, technological parameters of six, commonly applied in oil and gas industry, polymer agents as well as new agent developed at the Drilling, Oil and Gas Faculty AGH-UST in Krakow were examined. The undertaken studies showed that the new agent, marked as CAGEx, provides the required technological parameters and can be applied as a base for drilling muds intended for hydrogeological drilling. The undertaken industrial research of the new CAGEx drilling mud carried out while drilling water intake well, confirmed the great stability of its technological parameters as well as insignificant influence on rock permeability damage in filter zone. The water intake well is characterized by high hydraulic efficiency and does not require additional activation treatment.JO - Gospodarka Surowcami Mineralnymi - Mineral Resources Management L1 - http://sd.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/106859/PDF/macuda-i-inni.pdf L2 - http://sd.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/106859 PY - 2018 IS - No 4 EP - 133–144 KW - water well KW - wellbore skin KW - hydrogeological drilling KW - drilling mud A1 - Macuda, Jan A1 - Siemek, Jakub A1 - Wysocki, Sławomir A1 - Gaczoł, Magdalena PB - Komitet Zrównoważonej Gospodarki Surowcami Mineralnymi PAN PB - Instytut Gospodarki Surowcami Mineralnymi i Energią PAN VL - vol. 34 JF - Gospodarka Surowcami Mineralnymi - Mineral Resources Management DA - 2018.12.27 T1 - The impact of modern drilling fluids on improving the hydraulic efficiency of water wells SP - 133–144 UR - http://sd.czasopisma.pan.pl/dlibra/docmetadata?id=106859 DOI - 10.24425/122587 ER -

I've been finding on my Tuesday rides with the Cascade Bicycle Club, despite having been in Seattle twenty years, I still haven't explored very many streets and routes.
Largely, it's been the result of where I have needed to go in the past. Growing up, it was always a mile or two from my home in Greenlake. When I was older, I used to ride to my high school, Garfield, and the U.W. My friends have all been mostly a few miles to the east. I only started riding in often Ballard once I got a home there. I went down Leschi many times, mostly to cross over to I-90 to my old job at Starwave, and along Burke-Gilman from the U.W. countless times. I've ridden some roads around Northgate where my friend Mike Bloch used to be.
On the club ride on Tuesday, it was my first ride up Interlaken Boulevard up from Montlake. It's a very beautiful ride on a (mostly) car-free, forest canopied road. Though hilly, and the road in need of repair, the climb is steady and shaded.
The same day, I found also there's a bike path on the west side of 520, which takes you below the bridge. Though, the blackberry bushes are taking over this path. Thorny vines stick out, ready to capture your Lycra jersey if you aren't paying attention. The path takes you by the Montlake Playfield, which I have never been to, though I've often sat in my kayak and wondered about what it looked like.
To get to downtown, it's a fairly flat, if not steady decent, on 19th or 20th avenue east, until Jackson Street, which has a bike lane that will take you into Chinatown and then into Pioneer Square. The bike lane does disappear, but if you take the right lane after crossing under I-5, it's a long decent and traffic won't give you trouble. King Street would be the better choice if you wanted to stop for some Dim Sum.
Up along the waterfront is pretty good. There isn't much traffic on Alaskan Way going along the waterfront. I suspect drivers want to avoid the sporadic freight train traffic to their east which can box them in. It also dead ends inconveniently at the new sculpture garden. Last Tuesday at 7PM, the waterfront seemed fairly desolate, though it seemed like this would be prime tourist season.
From Myrle Edwards and the Elliot Bay trails, you can get on to the Interbay trail, and if you choose to, there's yet another steady climb up to the bluffs of Magnolia along a bike path. From the top, traffic is light, the views are nice, and the gentle rolling at the top keep the cycling interesting. Our ride leader knew a special way through Discovery Park that was a decent on wide bicycle paths, and took us down to the Ballard Locks.
The Ballard Locks are a better choice than the Ballard Bridge, which has a deserved reputation for being dangerous to cyclists. Though the Locks would add another 10-20 minutes to one's commute from Ballard to Downtown.
There was a bonus climb (for riders in the climbing mood) up 34th Ave NW, which is a residential street, but no stop signs every block. The road takes you to Sunset Park overlooking Shilshole Bay Marina, and if I were going home to my own street back on 75th Street NW would take me to my old home, or 70th NW down to Greenlake, and to my new home. Instead though, I stuck with the group, headed back down to Gasworks, and had yet another climb back up the hill that evening through the U-District.
Hopefully, the details weren't too boring. Although grade factor into picking a route, there's time-of-day and day-of-week traffic level, road quality, view, visibility (important at night), recent weather, who I'm with, my fitness level, etc.

ATHENS – The Museum of Ancient Greek Technology, Kostas Kotsanas, the Athens annex, was nominated as the European Museum of the Year 2019 by the European Museum Forum (EMF) before completing one year of operation.
Since 1977, the European Museum of the Year (EMYA), under the auspices of the Council of Europe, annually celebrates best museum practice across Europe and encourages innovation in museum society. This year's EMYA will be announced in May 2019.
The Museum of Ancient Greek Technology Kostas Kotsanas, having these characteristics, highlights and presents to the public an extremely important but relatively unknown aspect of ancient Greek culture: technology.
With more than 150 interactive exhibits and reconstructions of ancient Greek inventions, classified into 24 thematic units, children and adults come in contact with the wonderful creations that ancient Greek technology has bequeathed to mankind.
The aim of the Museum is to explain that ancient Greek technology was shockingly similar to the beginnings of modern technology and to demonstrate its importance for the modern Culture of Technology.
The nomination to the EMYA is another honor added to a set of important awards and international honors the original Kotsanas Museum has received during its 15 years of operation. It is noted that the Museum is being honored by UNESCO and National Geographic as part of the promotion of Europe's World Cultural Heritage Monuments.
Finally, at the Kotsanas Museum as a single organization, has been awarded in recent years the Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor, the world's largest travel site. The distinction confirms the museum's appeal to the international audience and the positive response of its visitors to its originality and presentation of its exhibits.
At the same time, its traveling exhibitions around the world have been hosted by major archaeological and technological museums, universities and international organizations such as the European Patent Office of The Hague, Munich and Vienna, the Lyon Technical University, the Varese and Basle Archaeological Museums, the National Library of France, the University of Connecticut, the Melbourne Hellenic Museum, Galileo Park, the National Museums of Science of South Korea, Thailand, and Singapore, as well as at the historic Library of Alexandria.
It should be noted that the Kostas Kotsanas Museum, a model museum both in Greece and abroad, is a non-profit organization operating from the outset without any subsidy from any public or private organization.
The opening of the Museum in Athens on January 8, 2018, together with the existing exhibitions in Katakolo Ilia and Ancient Olympia, completes the triptych of the Kotsanas Museum and the complementary panorama of the unique technological miracle of antiquity.
More specifically, the Museum in Athens features the exhibitions "Ancient Greece – the beginnings of the Technologies" which presents more than 100 interactive exhibits, and "Ancient Greek Musical Instruments and Games" with 42 fully functional musical instruments.
It will soon open its doors and touring exhibition titled "EUREKA – think like Archimedes" with fully interactive exhibits dedicated to the great mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor, and astronomer of ancient times.
The Museum of Ancient Greek Technology, Kostas Kotsanas
Address: Pindarou 6 and Akadimias, Athens,
Tel: 30 211 4110044, +30 6907292002
Opening hours: 9 AM-5 PM daily and weekends.

I decided to start doing some house cleaning. You may have noticed a few changes around here.including a semi-redesign of the page with a new, sleeker header. I like it at least. Oh, and the address is now a dot com. I have wanted to do that for quite a while and finally decided to go ahead with it. I have a few more tricks up my sleeve so if you care, stay tuned. But for now, I noticed I had a bunch of posts started but never finished so I figured why not get these into the land of the living? Lets start with an old school box break.
I was at my LCS a few weeks ago (at least it was when I started this post originally), partially to kill some time and partially to check out whatever new hockey releases donned the shelves. After deeply pondering my options, I couldn't decide between a couple boxes. The shop owner, who must have a psychology degree because he can read a situation very well, decided to make me an offer that I couldn't refuse so that I would take both boxes and he would make the sale. Classic deal making, if I do say so myself.
Since sometimes you have to go "old school", a box of 1995-96 Upper Deck Series I Retail was thrown into the mix for good measure. I don't have many of these in my collection other than a few singles here and there. These came from an era in time when I took a hiatus from collecting. It's hard to keep a hobby going when you have a full time student schedule and three jobs to help pay for it. At any rate, I always wanted to build this set because I thought it had a very appealing design because of the rounded gold foil name plate at the tops of the cards that seem to blend into the background, the inconspicuous logo and team designation on the front, and the secondary photo on the backs. Mainly though, this was a cool set due to the border-less, live-action photography Upper Deck became synonymous with.
Up to this point in UD Hockey history, their releases had featured some type of border around the front of the card, mostly white. 1995-96 was the first year where the border was erased and made way for a full bleed photograph. The card backs look sort of similar to the 1994-95 cards with a black border down the left side and another full photo that extends out to the opposite edge. Of course, unlike many of the releases we get today, the back photo is not the same as the one on the front. The stats are also listed along with a brief write up about the player.
Since this was a retail box, I wasn't expecting much, although I don't really remember how much different product releases were between hobby and retail 16 years ago. This set featured parallels of the base cards called "Electric ICE" which were the same as the regular cards but with either silver foil or gold foil instead of the bronze color. In the retail versions, there area also Predictor cards which for those unfamiliar were kind of a gambling game where essentially you would get a card of a player with a stat. If they hit that mark, you would win. I don't really remember the prize other than it being a complete set of winning predictor cards, although the "fine print" says the total approx. retail value of the trade cards are $250,000 US. In 2011 money, that's like $10!! Looking back, the only winners were the Jagr's, Lemieux's, and Patrick Roy cards.
Ok, enough build up. What is in the packs? As I said, this is series I. There are 270 base cards. Electric ICE are inserted 1 per pack. Gold come about 1 per box. Predictor cards should also be about 1 per box. There is an insert set in series I called Freeze Frame at about 1 per box and the extremely elusive "Predictor Pack" which features an entire 12 card pack of Predictor cards at 1 per 175 packs (approx 6 boxes). There are also Gretzky Collection cards that feature different events in the career of the Great One.
Within the set itself, there are base cards, a subset of Star Rookies which replaced the Young Guns temporarily, the Mike Milbury's Scouting Report subset, and a subset of 5th Anniversary cards with a few of the 90/91 key cards with different photos on the backs and a 5th Anniversary logo. Hey, in the early-mid 90s, 5 years was a big deal.
Drum roll, please...Here's my box
36 Packs/Box
Base Cards: 234/270 (87%)
Duplicates: 157!!
Inserts: 1 - Wayne Gretzky Collection #12
Parallels: Electric Ice - 36; Electric Ice Gold -1
As you can see, I got no Predictor cards, which is fine by me since I don't have a time machine handy. I would have liked a Freeze Frame or two but the Gretzky Collection card is alright too since it is apparently a tough pull at only 1 per box or so. The Gold card I got was the Keith Primeau 5th Anniversary card. I think I have about 40 of the original version. But for me, the biggest disappointment was the 157 doubles. Quality control was a far cry from what it is now (and it isn't that great now). To have a set with only 270 cards and not be able to complete it out of 432 cards is kind of ridiculous if you ask me. In fact, most of the packs had duplicate cards in the same packs.
Maybe we put up with much more as collector's back then. Either way though, I still like this set and will be trying to complete it sometime in the future. If anyone else is trying the same feat, let me know because I may have some that you need.

Redemption Song - - 2010-11 Donruss
I think I posted once or twice about a box of Donruss I opened a long time ago. Well one of the autograph hits in the box was a redemption for a Die-Cut Gem Auto of Teemu Selanne. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do at the time. Some of the auto redemption cards were going for upwards of $100 on the Bay and I was potentially looking to turn a profit. But I thought better of it and decided to send in the code.
I'm now glad I did...Submitted 2/22/11...Received 7/5/2011...133 days.
Die-Cut card? Check. Low production run? Check, out of /25. Sticker auto? Yeah, so what. Teemu is a sure first ballot HOFer. He has to be. Going into this year, he was #1 in total goals, even strength goals, power play goals, and game winning goals amongst all active players. Plus he was third in total points with 1260. Even the guy sitting in the stands behind him is in awe of how awesome this card is.

Going into this year, he was #1 in total goals, even strength goals, power play goals, and game winning goals amongst all active players. Plus he was third in total points with 1260. Even the guy sitting in the stands behind him is in awe of how awesome this card is.

Well That Didn't Go As Planned, Now Did It?
In the last two days, the Pens were led to believe by the people in the Jagr camp (ie, Petr Svoboda, his agent) that he was still making a tough decision but his heart was in Pittsburgh. He had always talked quite candidly about how he left the city early last decade and how he always regretted (or so he claimed) how it all went down. Does anyone remember the "dying inside" comment? I do. The city of Pittsburgh does. But we got over it. He spoke before of being willing to take a pay cur or even play for nothing if he could just play again for Mario Lemieux and show him that he still had something in the tank. Remember the interview during the Olympics? I do. The city of Pittsburgh does.
Everyone seemed willing to let bygones be bygones and move on. Getting one of the most storied players in franchise history had set the city a buzz with excitement. It also polarized many Penguin fans because of that feeling everyone has for someone that they loved dearly who betrayed their trust and respect. On one side you had the people that wanted him back, if nothing else, but to bring himself back into the Pittsburgh Penguin family and retire where he belongs. On the other side were the naysayers that saw nothing but the same old Jagr antics that we last saw, upsetting the locker room chemistry and wreaking havoc off the ice. Then there were those, like yours truly that saw a different perspective. I saw a guy that was willing to put aside his ego, admit his mistakes, and rejoin a team that made him who he was. He was a guy that despite being almost 40, can still score, can still skate, and can still scrap. We all saw that in the World Championships and Olympics (albeit on wider ice). Having a guy like that would drastically improve not only one of the top lines on the wing by complimenting Crosby or Malkin, but also jumpstart the power play that was all but non-existent last season.
Part of Jagr's problem with the Pens was that despite being the anchor of the team for so long after Mario's retirement, he never really had the lockeroom. It was always other guys that stepped up and garnered the respect of the younger guys and kept the team together. There were rumors of his temper tantrums and shouting matches with other players, none of which I can substantiate but it is an example of how his attitude and ego began to creep out of control. Despite all this, he wore the Captain C and continued to put on scoring clinics night after night around the NHL. When Mario came back, he was made to relinquish the C back to his "boss" and now teammate and assume the position of second fiddle once again. He never really got over that and part of the reason for the jump to Washington the first time was because in a Caps jersey, he would be numero uno.
So Jagr is now the man. His agent told Pittsburgh sports radio yesterday that this decision was based on Jagr going where he had the best chance to succeed. He didn't say best chance to win, he said succeed. And there it is. He wants a chance to go out on top. A chance to win a scoring title again. A chance to win another trophy without the name Stanley on it. A chance to be the center of attention and the focal point of a line with all eyes on him. That would shut up the critics. That would make all the haters sit back and say, "Hmmm? Maybe he still has it." He wouldn't have gotten that in Pittsburgh. At best, he would have been the fourth best player on the team. A worst, maybe the sixth best. He would be playing under the shadow of Sidney Crosby, who has been molded into one of the all time greats already at an early age by that same man that previously led the way for his success.
So yes, I'm upset. I can't say I won't ever get over it. Despite the fact that it's just a sport, being a fan goes a bit deeper than that. When something happens to your team, you feel it too. The excitement as well as the agony are felt by everyone that calls themselves fans. I got myself sucked into the frenzy caused by a former player, legend, and childhood "hero"s attempt at another shot at greatness. Instead, i will have to settle by watching it happen in an orange and black jersey.
Man I'm so ready for hockey season again.

'A woman carries her clothes, but it's a shoe that carries a woman', said ace shoe designer Christian Louboutin. Most people consider diamonds to be a woman's best friend, but most women love their shoes as much as their bling. The thing with woman and shoes is that you can never have enough of them, no matter how many pairs of shoes you own, you still want more.
Wedges, pumps, and wedge pumps are very much in fashion right now. Wedges have their own aesthetic appeal and also presents a stylish twist to a pump, heel or boot. A wedge heel extends from the back of the foot to the forefront because of their unique design, providing a stable walking position.
Pumps are typically closed-toed shoes often with or without a heel and can be worn with anything be it a saree, western wear, formals etc. Bold colours and designs are in fashion now but a basic plain black pump is a fashion must-have because you can wear them with anything.
Wedge pump is a new hybrid version; it is a closed shoe with the heel like a wedge. Wedge pumps come in various colours, designs and are worn by women of all ages. Wedge pumps support the arch of your foot, making them more comfortable to wear for longer hours. They also provide a steady walking position and are less likely to hurt your back or foot as most high-heeled shoes do. Wedges and pumps are now available everywhere from online shopping sites to your local market stores. So go ahead and don't hesitate to splurge on those gorgeous wedges because a shoe can make or break a dress.

text: Ramp Up Your Holiday Marketing This is the time to ramp up your holiday marketing and get all components of your marketing campaign in place. I always remind my clients that if they want to have a visible presence in the marketplace, they need to use different mediums to get their message across. While I've been talking about omni-channel marketing all year – now that Holiday is here, it's incredibly meaningful! I want to call your attention to a quote I read today by Lori Paikin in Forbes: Advertisers focus so much of their marketing dollars on driving consumers to their sites for holiday shopping. But a very small percentage of those visitors actually convert. Supplement your digital marketing with web-powered direct mail and turn those website visitors into holiday shoppers by sending them a timely and personalized postcard driving them to convert. Sure, Lori is looking at this from the digital marketer perspective. Let's not forget that some of the on-line only folks have only recently "re-discovered" the value of direct mail. If Amazon Uses Direct Mail Amazon now mails a holiday catalog to drive people to their Black Friday sales. Some of the other major digital players that are using direct mail this year include Wayfair, Caspers, Rover, and Modcloth. There are lots of others. Never under-estimate the power that print has to encourage someone to press the button. Certainly we have the trust factor to consider. Year-after-year, direct mail ranks as the most trusted of mediums. Good direct mail is valued, especially with the Millennial cohort. Style it right, provide a good offer and you have a great shot at gaining the sale. And, remember make sure your direct mail jives with your digital campaigns. It all has to be seamless. Last comment - direct mail has a real lifespan. While email has a lifespan of just a few seconds, direct mail's average lifespan is 17 days. So, ramp up your holiday marketing. And make sure you feature direct mail in your marketing mix!

Former Tory transport minister Steven Norris has accused the Garden Bridge Trust of 'egregious doublespeak' after it emerged its chair told the government the project might be terminated, while on the same day telling the public it was 'full steam ahead'
According to correspondence released under Freedom of Information, Garden Bridge Trust chair Mervyn Davies also told transport minister Tariq Ahmad that its contractor had been put on standby.
The letter, written on July 11, was part of the trust's successful request for the Department for Transport (DfT) to extend its financial guarantee for the £185 milion project.
In the letter – marked 'commercially sensitive and strictly confidential – Davies discussed significant hurdles for the project such as the challenge of a judicial review plus 'greater demands' than anticipated placed on it by third parties.
'Taking these factors into account and considering the public sector exposure, the trustees took the prudent decision to put our contractor [joint venture Bouygues Travaux Publics and Cimolai SpA] on standby, thereby limiting our expenditure and capping the public sector exposure should the project need to be terminated,' Davies wrote.
'As a result, should the project be terminated between now and September 2016, the requirement of the underwriting would be limited to approximately £8 million.'
Davies added that the project now had a revised construction programme and that the intention was to start on site in spring 2017.
But research by the AJ has revealed that on the same day, July 11, the trust was telling the public that the project was 'full steam ahead', and this phrase appeared in the headline of a story published that evening by London's free daily paper the Evening Standard.
Again on the same day, the trust published a separate press release on its website which made no mention of the revised timetable or the standing down of the contractor, and included the words: 'Construction work has not been halted because it has not yet begun.'
Former Conservative transport minister and London mayoral candidate Steven Norris – who oversaw construction of the Jubilee Line in John Major's government – led criticism of what he called 'dreadful revelations'.
'I'm appalled at the way the Garden Bridge Trust has been acting in recent months,' he said. 'These revelations are a perfect example of doublespeak at its most egregious. The trust has consistently maintained that all is well with their project while this is patently not the case. The reality is that there was never a case for taxpayer support for the Garden Bridge. It is based on a fanciful idea which has never been properly open to public scrutiny.
There is not a snowball's chance in hell of this frivolous idea ever returning a penny to the public purse
'It serves no useful transport purpose, it will not be open to the public in any normal sense of the word but most importantly it will undoubtedly require capital grant from taxpayers and further financial support in perpetuity. There is not a snowball's chance in hell of this frivolous idea ever returning a penny to the public purse and I suspect the trustees know it. They should do the decent and honourable thing and wind the trust up as soon as possible.'
Liberal Democrat member of the London Assembly Caroline Pidgeon accused the trust of 'blatantly attempting to mislead the public'.
She said: 'It is bad enough that the Garden Bridge Trust has failed to file its accounts on time and continues to shield identifying so many of its private donors, however it is shocking to further discover that the [trust has] been peddling the claim that the Garden Bridge is all on track when the reality is totally the opposite.'
However the trust maintained that 'no deception' had taken place.
A spokeswoman said: 'You are comparing a letter to our delivery partner outlining funding risks where we discuss the worst-case scenarios with a press statement that clearly talks about the operations work the team is doing to move ahead on all the planning activities required to enable construction to commence.
'In a similar way a board will discuss future risks of a company or project and a management team will promote the operational work being undertaken. We have similar conversations with our delivery partners and stakeholders on a regular basis.'
A spokesman for London mayor Sadiq Khan said: 'The mayor is on the record as pledging to make the Garden Bridge project more open and transparent.'
The correspondence between Davies and the DfT was released following a request made in the name of Tom Francis.
In a separate development, the AJ has also learnt that the mayor has now to decide on whether to sign off the underwriting of the annual maintenance cost of the bridge, thought to be worth £2-3 million per year and a requirement of the project's planning permission.
This agreement was put in place by Khan's predecessor Boris Johnson, but is dependent upon the Garden Bridge Trust demonstrating to the mayor's satisfaction 'that it has a satisfactory funding strategy in place to operate and maintain the Garden Bridge for at least the first five years from its completion' – a condition yet to be satisfied.
Both in May and again in June, the mayor said the trust had a 'credible business plan' but his language in a statement released this week appeared more sceptical.
A spokesperson for the mayor said: 'Sadiq is reviewing all of the guarantee documentation and the Garden Bridge Trust's business plan. He will not allow any guarantees to be entered into unless he is convinced that this will not lead to further public expenditure down the line.
'The trust is aware of the mayor's position and he will make a decision in due course.'
Readers' comments (5)
Is this crescendo going to culminate soon.. Gripping stuff. It's like watching a bad multimedia movie via the AJ website, se1, LBC, Twitter, Hardcopy in the Evening substandard and the guardian with BBC radio London on in the background and updates on BBC newsnight!
The Garden Bridge Trust definition of 'credible' appears to be rather different to that of those of us who'd like to see open and honest process in the promotion and approval of high impact edifices like the Garden Bridge - despite only a few paltry tens of millions of public money having been thrown at it by our elected leaders.
The smart politician might now think that both the public and personal interest are best served by standing up to - rather than getting caught up in - the dissembling.
This crescendo should culminate in court, where legitimately it should have been many months back. Due diligence, good governance and public accountability should not be taken for granted, they have to be upheld and be maintained.
The Garden Bridge might have been a 'Green' element to prettify the Thames but London was never supposed to expand or densify in the way it has done post war. (because it was already vast, polluted and had become totally unmanageable by the 19thc (The Great Wen) let alone in the 20th/21st c).
I suggest a lot of people have now changed their minds over the implications of the Garden Bridge since Brexit. Challenging the procurement process might appear like investigating planning transparency and funding on the public's behalf when in fact the real purpose is to delay or kill off the project. This another version of doublespeak- George Orwell in '1984' . (if Stephen Norris thinks there are mixed messages: there always are.).
There are undoubtedly bigger and better things to do at this time of radical reassessment post Brexit. Britain's/England's role in the world is as part of a global society that uses English for communication yet is part of the UN and the Commonwealth and does not have separate assembly within the UK . What is the REGION of the GLA capital of: Question the boundaries of the GLA when London once had a County Council then a GLC- does it set planning precedents for the UK?) The Council of Europe is the regional body of the United Nations as articulated in Churchill's 1946 Zurich speech. (on the web)
If linking a Garden Bridge to 'the other side' of The River was perceived as a symbolic means of creating a 'Third Way', this will not do it anymore than Lambeth Garden Museum does. (Perhaps the 'One Nation' Tory Establishment could be called the Garden Party. Lambeth Palace is after all where The Archbishop of Canterbury lives.)This shows up the pretence that there is any separation of the issues when Architecture is a subject in its own right, not merely a branch of Theology. (which in Ruskin's day was seen as impartial whilst Medicine and Architecture were applied subjects- The Liberal Arts date back to classical Greece and Rome.)
If he wants to be seen as impartial as a Labour Mayor, I suggest Sadiq Khan goes back to the demolition of Southwark Towers and takes a look at the planning permission to demolish it in favour of the Shard . Hating the railways and 1960's architecture is an ongoing ideological / political war the Establishment can hide behind when it is big money from countries like Qatar that have changed the face of London. Wonder what sort of 'Green' world the GLA was thinking of when it passed permission to demolish a tower block over a station in favour of a 'Spire', when in 1984 Prince Charles wanted London to look like Canaletto with St, Paul's Cathedral as the central focus.
Nothing could be murkier than the way in which The Shard was approved under New Labour yet the irony is that the single spire of Strasbourg Cathedral was once the highest in Mediaeval Europe. Strasbourg is where THE COUNCIL OF EUROPE is located. The EUROPEAN COMMISSION awarded the Charlemagne Prize to the Pope this year. No wonder Donald Tusk (European Council- Polish) thought pre our referendum that this is more like the eve of WW1 (when there was still a German Empire with Berlin as the capital). Reunification for Germany post the Cold War is as complicated as devolution is for us.
London has become a BANKING CAPITAL of the World when White Anglo-Saxon Protestantism is exactly what 'The Left' was against. Berlin might have once been the capital but Frankfurt is the banking capital. THE CITY OF LONDON is the City: a state within a state, as are Vatican City (1929) and Washington DC . The City London was supposed to emulate in the post war era was PARIS whose BANKS OF THE SEINE (on the web) are a UNESCO World Heritage site.
If anyone in the current decision making process had ever read anything other than planning policy guidance post 1988, council minutes and opinion polls to see which party's policy can gain brownie points when they are being paid to implement proper planning, instead of behaving like property speculators , there might have been a proper debate by now. Architects, planners et al have all studied in order to get JOBS to contribute to society, not to be destroyed and take the blame for political mistakes that mask more fundamental differences that are eternal. Plato thought the City was like a Man. It has been one man's lifetime since WWII ended.
It was said that the funding would be spend equally. So having spent £40m of PUBLIC money when can we expect a payment back into the public purse of half of that? Scrap this ridiculous monument to avarice as soon as posible.

BRAT, the word speaks for itself. Manly. Football. Grilling. etc.
Brats really are manly...."for my final wish, brats!"
"According to legend, Hans IV. Stromer (1517-1592), a judge in the medieval times, was imprisoned for life for revealing an important political secret. In those days, life-term in prison meant that once the dungeon doors were shut, you never again left your cell...
|Prisoners depended on family members for their food. Since he was a high ranking prisoner, Stromer was granted one reasonable wish. That wish was to be allowed 2 Bratwursts daily until the end of his days.So, his family made a Bratwurst so small that it could be passed through the keyhole of the prison door. In deference to the legend, all "Nürnberger Bratwurst" now made in Germany are required, by German law, to include certain ingredients in specific proportions. The law specifies that the sausages must be a certain length and diameter, and must be produced within the city limits of Nürnberg." From here.
Other great tidbits about the history of this manly food at that website too.

Join us on Saturday 28 March 2020 to discover the vibrant paintings of talented local couple, Sally Anne and Peter Jones.
'For Love in Creation' is a collection of works inspired by the landscapes of Windsor Great Park, and this will be our last public open morning.
About the artists
Sally Anne Wake-Jones studied art at London University College of Education. She had her first solo exhibition at the Century Gallery, Henley and has exhibited her paintings in galleries in the South East. Her work is featured in four editions of the French publication R.E.G.A.R.D.S. She divides her time between her art and the family business, Guinea Pig Education, which sells educational material all over the world.
Sally Anne, and husband Peter, a chartered surveyor by profession, share a love of the natural environment. For the last three years, they have been working together on canvases, to create a unique collection of paintings that portray the historic parkland the surrounds Cumberland Lodge.
Their paintings are large, spontaneous statements, infused with light, and inspired by the beauty of Creation. The couple are frequent visitors to the South of France, and the intense light of that region influences their bold use of colour.
Sally Anne said, 'Our paintings express our worship and praise to our Creator. They depict symbols such as the forms of ancient oaks (symbolic of divine providence), the cycle of life and decay, and the flat, wide landscape that rolls on like the ever-changing seasons. We are excited and honoured to be able to exhibit in such a beautiful and prestigious location and welcome everyone to come and share our journey'.
Open mornings
Admission to our open mornings is free and all are welcome: there is no need to book in advance.
Please ask our Duty Manager at Reception for directions to the exhibition, via the Tapestry Hall.
To find out more about this collection, please contact Emma Albery, our Friends, Alumni, and Outreach Officer, at email@example.com, or call 01784 497790 (Monday to Wednesday).
There is plenty of free parking on site. The exhibition is on the ground floor and is wheelchair-accessible.
Information about how to reach Cumberland Lodge by car, bus or taxi, can be found on this webpage.
