Positives in the rain for Rosco (From This Is Wiltshire)
Positives in the rain for Rosco
5:30am Tuesday 6th May 2014 in By Andy Warren, Deputy sports editor, email@example.com, @AndyWarren_
ALUN Rossiter was still able to take plenty of positives despite his Robins side having their chance of picking up valuable Elite League points ruined by the weather.
The hosts were leading 26-19 at Blunsdon last night before the meeting against Birmingham was called off as the rain made the greasy track unraceable, with Nick Morris and Dakota North almost coming to grief in the wet before just managing to hold on to their bikes.
Despite being frustrated to miss out on what was sure to be a comfortable win, Rossiter was in good spirits after the meeting due to the improved form of Simon Gustafsson and a good display from captain Troy Batchelor.
"It's frustrating but it really was unavoidable for us," he said.
"We were in a really good position but there were still some good signs even though we didn't get any points. Simon looked a lot sharper on his new engine I though, I've said that all along.
"That was one of the best displays I've seen from Troy in a Swindon suit and I think the responsibility of being captain is doing him a lot of good.
"Dan (Greenwood) struggled again but we can't carry on like that and we have to look at something."
Rossiter believed calling the meeting off was the only course of action and believes the Robins' clash with Coventry early in the season, which was abandoned after 10 races to ensure a Bees victory, should have gone the same way.
"I would have been a hypocrite if I had been shouting for this one to continue because it really was the right decision to call it off," he said.
"It was impossible for the riders because it was so wet. Dak (North) wanted to ride but it was just so dangerous. It's still early in the season so we've still got time.
"This is what should have happened in the Coventry meeting, common sense, but they (Coventry were shouting and screaming about it going on. Both sides agreed tonight."

Well I'm Glad Roscoe was happy to take some positives from this meeting as I flaming well didn't. With the forecast of adverse weather coming in around 8.30 to 9pm which was all over the news why did they faff around so much at the start of the meeting instead of getting on with racing. Sod the parade and interviews when the weather is changing for the worse they should had just got on with at least 10 heats as quick as possible. To make matters worse the track was over watered considering the outlook of bad weather so did the management actually look into the weather forecast. What cheesed me off was while Barker was being seen to in the pits by the medics after his crash they could have been grading the track to get some air into it and nothing happened as the rain was coming down and when we got the go ahead to continue the meeting they sent the tractor out, now that really is taking the pizz. This management seemed to be all out to get past the refund heats and succeeded in conning the poor public standing around like lemons and waiting in the rain while the refund was gradually being taken away from them. Never have I been so disillusioned with this sport as I have lately and just can't justify paying £17 and £2 to park any longer watching national league riders way out of their depth and then the club insult us by stealing money off us. £12 paid to watch 7 heats where the last two heats were farcical and they will want me to pay another £19 to watch it all over again when the match gets re-arranged. I've just watched a match on Eurosport from Swedens top league in Manila where it rained after heat 7 and got heavier as the match went on and they got 15 heats done no problem and the track was fine and they had 4 tractors grading the track when working on the track yet in Swindon we could not cope with similar rain so this says to me the track was over watered at the start or we are using the wrong shale. The other thing of note was no young Swedish riders at reserve and out of their depth. Sorry Roscoe but fans are being lost with this development league shenanigans and then they get further insulted in seeing how not to run a speedway match. FARCE.

I am not in any way saying the tyres used are good or bad, what I am saying is all cars raced on the same track at the same time, the results shows some finishing the race in a better position than others by having a car design plus driver that makes better use of the tyres.
To the attention of Jim Crint, the two cars which locked out the front row are in such a ridiculous situation (DESIGN WISE) re their appetite to destroy their tyres it is calculated to be a good showing from them having finished the race in 12th and 6the position.
I did say over here that, the Mercedes is going to be the hardest hit by the new tyre tweak.
I did say that the Mercedes (both cars) are out of contention for a race win regardless their 1st and 2nd grid positions.

A Trimble County man was arrested the morning of June 11 following a robbery the night before at the Marathon station in Campbellsburg, Ky.
Kentucky State Police Post 5 dispatchers received a 911 call at 10:49 p.m. advising that someone had just robbed the Marathon and fled on foot from the store, according to a news release. The worker at the Marathon advised the subject demanded money, but did not brandish a weapon. Troopers set up a perimeter in the area, but were unable to find the subject.
Two people were arrested Tuesday, June 10 after Kentucky State Police troopers found a meth lab in a home at 205 Hwy. 36 West. Troopers from KSP Post 5 went to the home of Ricky Shelton, 56, of Carrollton, after obtaining information that he and Dana Harmon, 49, of Louisville were possibly manufacturing methamphetamine at the residence, according to a news release. Troopers learned that Harmon had an outstanding warrant for probation violation and contacted Probation and Parole. After Probation and Parole arrived, a search of the home was conducted.

It was a pitchers' duel in varsity baseball action Saturday when the Carroll County Panthers traveled to Bedford to take on the Trimble County Raiders. Rain delayed the start time of the game, but it did not dampen the spirits of the high school athletes. Carroll ultimately pulled out a 5-0 win.
Both teams were scoreless during the first two innings with Zakk Hicks pitching four strikeouts for Carroll County and Zack Beard pitching two strikeouts for Trimble.
Officials will dedicate a memorial to Kentucky's fallen conservation officers during a ceremony set for 1 p.m. Saturday, May 17.
The memorial is located on the campus of the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources in Frankfort.
The memorial, a project of the Kentucky Conservation Officers' Association, honors the six Kentucky conservation officers killed in the line of duty since 1918.

Gary "Tony" McCurdy says he's tired of Kentucky's lawmakers looking at the small picture and wants to see a more proactive approach.
That led him to run against Ben Chandler in the 6th District U.S. Congress race in 2008.
"There wasn't a Republican running against him, and I knew he could be beaten," he said. "So I decided to run."
Paul Hornback has spent the past four years figuring out how to work around and fix inefficiencies in Frankfort, and he said he believes he's just getting started.
That's why the Republican incumbent has filed for a second term as the state senator for District 20, which includes Shelby, Henry, Carroll and Trimble counties along with a small portion of the east end of Jefferson County.

FRANKFORT – Calling the measure a big win for efforts to reduce tobacco use in the state and particularly among young people, Gov. Steve Beshear signed Senate Bill 109 into law, banning the sale of all types of e-cigarettes to minors.
The governor had specifically urged legislators to pass the bill during his State of the Commonwealth in January, and identified the effort as a key part of his legislative agenda.

Rival 'roided out projects! Earlier this month, news broke that HBO was developing a half-hour dramedy about current and former athletes living in Miami executive produced by and starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
Today, the Hollywood Reporter has the story that Arnold Schwarzenegger is also potentially headed to the small screen with a cable project of his own. He's sold a drama called "Pump" to Showtime, and it will be about how the present-day fitness industry and the culture surrounding it originated in the bare-bones Pacific Avenue gym of the title.
While The Rock's project is a half-hour, The Governator's is an hourlong effort, and it's set in Venice Beach, CA in the early '70s. Schwarzenegger won't play the lead in "Pump," should it be ordered to series, but will recur as well as serving as an executive producer. "Pump" is being written by Michael Konyves ("Barney's Version"), who'll also serve as an EP alongside Eric and Kim Tannenbaum of The Tannenbaum Co.
Post political career, Schwarzenegger's been diving back into showbiz, with roles in "The Expendables 2," "The Last Stand" and the upcoming "Escape Plan." And, obviously, the former Mr. Universe knows the bodybuilding world very well. Here's a clip from his pumping iron days in, erm, "Pumping Iron":

My friends and I were discussing this the other day but does anyone know how pregnancy was detected back then? You know, apart from missed periods and nausea.
Who's game to give this one a shot?
Could be some info on this site, Christa, as it has a time-line of pregancy-testing.
My old grannies, who were young women in 1912, seemed to take pregnancy for granted on a 1 - 2 yearly basis, so I doubt if anyone bothered to test for it. It was all too prevalent; large families, worn-out women etc.
After 7 live births and 3 miscarriages, my grandparents' doctor hauled my grandfather into his surgery to inform him that one more child would kill my grandmother - leaving him to raise the children alone - and suggested he took some 'suitable contraceptive measures'. My grandfather, sadly, thought only of himself, and announced he wasn't prepared to jeopardise his own health and happiness in such a trivial cause. He was, apparently, convinced that condoms gravely restricted the blood flow etc. Faced with such disregard for her own situation, I think Granny resorted to "No!" Anyway - she outlived him by about 15 years, eventually dying at the age of 96. Who says there's no justice?
Monica - the amazing thing is that you know this!
If my elders did the deed, I don't want to know about it. I like to think they went to church and prayed for children and some just appeared somehow.
Brace up, Brian! It's just life.
My family - apart from me - are all medics. So, I suppose, that's how I know.
It begs the interesting question of how knowledgeable or ignorant your average young person would have been about these matters in 1912.
The lives of Dorothy Gibson, Harriet Crosby and others make you think sex was not as taboo to them as we think.
But then there's Edith Wharton who said it wasn't until several weeks AFTER her wedding that she finally managed to find out where babies come from.
Or my friend's Nan, a Yorkshire country girl giving birth a few decades after Titanic. She was writhing in pain and begging the midwife to tell her "how it was going to come out". The midwife looked at her incredulously and said - in her broadest Yorkie accent - "How's it going to come out?!? Same way it bloody went in, luv!"
What goes up...
I'm reminded of a convivial occasion in port in the engineer's smokeroom where the chief engineer was complaining of having had to travel in a colleague's cramped sports car "curled up like an embryo".
"What's an embryo?" a guest member of the company asked ingenuously (he was something of a character, a Scotsman and a batchelor to boot).
On seeing the quizzical looks directed his way he felt compelled to add "Och, well I'm no' an engineer...".
Obviously a man who'd managed to bypass vast tracts of biological human life then, Noel. I've known a few like that. They always seem very contented indeed to me, which I suppose, ought to tell us something. Though quite what, I don't know.
I've tried to track down how the family knew about Grandad, Brian, and it seems to stem from Granny in her late 80s, talking to a pharmacist son who had the sense to spend hours asking her about her life (so much is lost through people not doing this - in her life she went from bustles to mini-skirts, though not personally of course, and from horse-drawn carriages to Concorde).
Anyway, it seems I was wrong, and Granny did not resort to "No!" She resorted to Rendall's tablets - a female contraceptive of doubtful efficacy. Happily, they worked for Granny though. She confided to her incredulous son the information that they were so efficient, one dud tablet was deliberately put into every tube, for fear the human population might otherwise seriously decline. Granny used to carefully examine every tablet, to try to detect the dud.
How naive it seems to us. Yet how sensible, in those days, for someone trying desperately to fulfil her duty to her entire family, and to live to tell the tale.
>>She resorted to Rendall's tablets - a female contraceptive of doubtful efficacy. Happily, they worked for Granny though.<<
That or her system reached the point where something there said "Enough is enough." Given enough wear and tear, it's entirely possible that any fertilized ova found no place to implant or were lost so early on that she had no idea that anything had happened at all beyond the obvious "Good Times."
Just what was in Randall's Tablets anyway? I doubt that contemporary medical science had any sort of really good understanding of how hormones worked much less how to identify them.
Wife's Friend was the brand name of Mr Rendell's 'tablets', which were actually soluble pessaries made from cocoa butter with a dash of quinine. They - er - weren't designed to be taken orally. They were marketed in England from the 1880s right up until the 1940s, and apparently were not entirely ineffective.
To give him the benefit of the doubt I'd say it was more a failure of vocabulary than anatomy.
>>They - er - weren't designed to be taken orally.<<
Mmmmmm...yeah...got it.
>>They were marketed in England from the 1880s right up until the 1940s, and apparently were not entirely ineffective.<<
As a contraceptive, I would think not. The quinine would have been useful for dealing with malaria, but not if used in the manner prescribed by the maker.
Sometimes Grannie knows best, Mike. Mr Rendell was on the right track, even if he didn't have the resources to arrive at the ideal formulation. Modern research has led to the production of spermicidal creams based on vegetable oils and quinine hydrochloride that are regarded as not only safer but also often more effective than the synthetic and hormone-based products of the more recent past.
Re therapeutics, Granny also used to say "If it hurts, it's doing you good." I'm not altogether sure she was right about that, though.... I'm glad that my parents rejected the idea of a mustard poultice for my chest in favour of antibiotics when I was 4. But, of course, there were no antibiotics when she was raising her 7.
And of course "the worse the taste, the more good it will do ya". In a Great War documentary on TV last week, an old soldier remarked that the castor oil supplied for engine lubrication was great for dealing with cases of constipation, on those rare occasions when the prospect of 'going over the top' didn't get the job done. Forty years later we were still suffering the same treatment, though our supply came in a bottle from the pharmacy rather than from a 2-gallon can of Castrol.
Another fine motto to live by, Bob. He must have been a very old soldier indeed - not that extraordinary 108-year old, by any chance, who looks and sounds like a sprightly 80-year old? I saw him last week on TV, and instantly felt about 109 myself. If indeed, "the worse the taste, the more good it will do ya", then I suppose a diet of whisky and Fishermen's Friends should see me into a fine old age.
Yes, the old bloke was well over 100, but looked no older than I do (ie about 95). Here's what was needed in the well-stocked family medicine cabinet in 1839. No Trades Description Act in those days, so they could get away with advertising 'Tasteless Castor Oil'. And bad copywriting - Grannie would want to read that the stuff tasted bleedin' awful. Their leeches were good value at two bob a dozen, but sixpence a pint for Black Draught was daylight robbery, when any pub would serve you a pint of Guinness for twopence.
How did you keep the leeches alive with tails wagging, and able to do the business?
Am slightly worried about the sweet spirits of nitre... not to mention the laudanum. It was fairly exciting stuff in the medicine cabinet in those days. Mine seems very boring by comparison.
I don't need to remind you that attitudes to big families were different then. I have a rather poignant letter from my gr-grandmother to my grandmother which says "Be kind to your children dear and if they live, they will look after you when you get old". They were seen as an insurance against destitution in old age.
"They - er - weren't designed to be taken orally. They were marketed in England from the 1880s right up until the 1940s, and apparently were not entirely ineffective."
Surely they would be entirely effective if clasped between the knees at the appropriate time?
I'm out of here.....
I told my sons today about the insurance against destitution in old age idea, Ernie. They smiled.... and asked for some sums to be deposited in their bank accounts. Better off, maybe, having girls? My 93-year old father certainly thinks so, and so does my 97-year old mother.
Rendell's were marketed beyond the 1940s - no matter what anyone says. I'm sure I remember selling them in my father's pharmacy into the early 1960s, and I was only a gawky kid at the time. People wrestled with the notion of buying such things off a (just) teenager, or leaving on a Friday evening without their requisites....
Noel, you might just be right.
What we need to get back to, Mon, is the Victorian tradition of obtaining support from our children at the first opportunity, rather than waiting for old age to creep up upon us. It's much easier to exploit the little beggars when we're still bigger than them. Are there no pit ponies down your way? No match factories? No chimneys?
I was of the opinion in the '60s that there should have been a law against employing young women behind the counters of chemist's shops. Gawd knows how many toothbrushes and bottles of Lucozade I ended up with on Friday nights.
Mon, your memories are sound. J W Rendell Ltd were still in business in the 60's and even today they are marketing the same type of product. I don't know when (or if) they switched to the more synthetic alternative formulations, or perhaps remained true to their traditions and continually developed the natural product which has now (in principle at least) been vindicated.
Hi Monica
That Bob's a hard man. I feed our four grandchildren with copious amounts of pocket money and tell them in about ten years we may have to reverse the process.
Make sure you've got that in writing, Ernie!
Oh, i've got no real expectation, Bob. Probably in ten years time they will be at University, hard up and happy.
Wow! I turn around for two seconds I come back to find it's taken off without me!
Thanks for the link, Monica but I couldn't find a timeline. Do you have any further directions for it?
Here you are Christa. It doesn't say much but it implies that there were no tests for pregnancy until the late 1920s, and that involved killing fluffy bunnies. That'd cause an uproar today.
Hi Monica,you mention this in one of the early post about condoms.
Were condoms around in 1900?Is that what you are saying,i'm really shock here.I never of thought condoms were invented back then!
>>Were condoms around in 1900?<<
These things have been around in one form or another since the time of Ancient Egypt. You might find http://www.avert.org/condoms.htm to be useful. Since the Egyptian contrivances were made of linen, I doubt they were really all that effective, even as a disease preventative.
I just read it and i'm so amazed.
So that means that Titanic officer's had condoms in there pockets?
I really thought condoms were invented during ww2! Maybe they wern't that old fashion back in those days!
>>So that means that Titanic officer's had condoms in there pockets?<<
Don't know. As punishing as their watchkeeping schedules were, sheer exhaustion would be quite the libido killer. That doesn't mean that they might not have had a "Girl in Every Port" but if they did, they were very discreet about it.
>>Maybe they wern't that old fashion back in those days!<<
Oh the prudishness was real enough allright, which only meant that the....errrrrr...fun and games went on out of sight and out of mind.
So basically they are like men of today but they don't show off!
>>So basically they are like men of today but they don't show off!<<
Not where "Polite Society" could see it. What guys (And girls!) bragged about with close friends was always another matter.
I actually had Edwardian guys all wrong.
In those days (1912)Did men use women for?
I do wonder why you are asking these questions. It's not that I mind answering, and I don't suppose others do either. But don't rely totally on us - as in the first place, we're probably not experts. In the second place, we merely post from our own (and relatives' experience) which is not necessarily historically accurate, no matter how honestly we try to reply.
I don't suppose for one minute that Edwardian men 'used' women for any different purposes that contemporary men might like to. However, today, it might be a little bit more difficult for men to command, given the more powerful role of women in society today. So, possibly, the roles have reversed - or, at any rate, equalled out a bit.
I think people just generally do what they can, given their circumstances. You can rail against it and say it is terrible, or you can accept it and try to prevent it happening again. You're young (it seems) - so it's your choice. What are you going to do about it?
Too me you guys a experts,and i love talking to people with the same interests as i do.I don't mind that you're only 95% right,you'e more right than i can ever get.
I'm not actually an reasearcher i'm just here cause i love talking Titanic and History so it does'nt matter if you give me the wrong answers.
See you're answer sounds very expert to me,so in you're rights you are an expert!
It seems that way does'nt the women rule the men now lol.
Yes i am a youngen but probelry not as young as you think i am but yes i am young.
(What are you going to do about it)-Me,don't get one.or just stay away from them.
>>(What are you going to do about it)-Me,don't get one.or just stay away from them.<<
I wouldn't take it to quite that extreme. Especially if at some point in your life you decide you want children. (Which is of course, your business alone.)
Not every male is a predator, sexual or otherwise. Some are, but hardly all. Just be careful about whom it is you hook up with and don't rush into things.
Well, I didn't actually mean that. My fault for not being explicit, I expect. I merely meant that people have to live in the times in which they are powerful / meaningful. Most people 'inherit' the Earth in their 40s /50s (just ask Obama) but before and after that, they may well be unable to influence policy. I asked you what you would do, not because I expected an answer about sex, but because I was interested in how you see life panning out over the next 30 years since you seem to be in your 20s.
I can think like that some times about men.Ok Michael i'll keep that in mind.I can get paroniod sometimes!
Monica,Sorry know i understand you.Well in 30 years i would be 57 years old, so hopfully i would be loving my job by then hopfully be nearly a grand ma, but can't see that happening.Maybe in 2 weeks i wil find out for sure.
Off topic again OOPS!
>>hopfully be nearly a grand ma<<
That's the point where you can get your revenge on your kids by spoiling their kids. The dream of most every parent short of giving Jane and Junior the Help Wanted ads for a graduation present.
You're sneaking Michael but it sounds like a great way to get you're children back.
>>You're sneaking Michael but it sounds like a great way to get you're children back.<<
Just remember: Youth and energy shall not overcome age and treachery!
I always bow down to mature adults,I agree.

How to Make a Halter Tutu Dress: Version 2
Posted on 13. Nov, 2008 by Trish in Tutorial
A little while back, I wrote a post on how to make a halter tutu dress. I showed how to make two layers by tying them one at a time.
Well, since then I have figured out how to make the two layers using one single knot.
Then pull the ends of the same colors together.
Place the layer underneath the elastic, with the top color on top
(this is what it would look like on the back of the elastic)
Then tie the tulle in a square knot.
This is what it looks like on the back of the elastic.

If you buy Elastic Crochet headband ribbon, which you can find at hobby lobby, you can make 3,4,5.6+ layered tutus (which is a little much, lol) with no sewing involved. The ribbon has layers of holes that you put the tulle through. So simple!!

My girlfriend and I had these for our girls and even thought they are very full you can still see thru them. Do you have any suggestions for how to line them easily? Thanks
24. May, 2014
how about adding a lining under the tutu skirt?

I found this tutorial last year and made it into a 3 layer tutu by adding another color. Laid it next to what is the blue piece on the picture. Also made a double layer tutu using the tutorial instructions, but made one edge of each piece longer before tying for a different effect.
How do I make a no-tie layered tutu? :How to Make Tutu

[…] I'm looking for the same thing. But have only found a two layer no sew tutorial. See link… http://www.sweetnsassygirls.com/2008/11/how-to-make-halter-tutu-dress-version-2.html […]

Love your tutorials…but I could not get the knot correct..:( can you post or show a more detailed pick of the knot and how you do it. Thanks!

Does any body know how to do a three layer tutu? I have looked and cannot find any tutuorials online!

Truly amazing this steps to make Tutu dress.
Tutu dress gave a awesome look to my cute Angel. She is just 5 now. I think, for her next coming school function, such dress is perfect. She looks very pretty in this.
Thanks & Regards

A square knot…
Wrap the right piece over the left piece and pull through from the bottom. (Like you would to start tying your shoes) Then do the left over the right side and under.
I was taught a rhyme to remember how to tie a square knot…
Right over left and left over right makes a knot tidy and tight.

CSS 'font-weight' and UI
16:35 - By BlueGriffon - Thinking at loud - 11 comments
CSS is so cool. So cool. But not in terms of UI for a CSS editor...
- let's suppose you can have your text 'bold' or 'normal'; one checkbox or checkboxButton is enough, and you can have this button live with other buttons like italic, underline and others
- let's suppose now you can have your text 'bold', 'normal or
unspecified ; a few options here:
- one checkbox to say the boldness is specified or not and a checkbox/checkboxButton for bold
- two checkboxes/checkboxButtons for 'bold' and 'normal'; property is unspecified when both are unchecked
- a menulist with three choices
- let's suppose now, and that's the CSS real case that matters to me,
boldness can take the values 'bold', 'normal', 'bolder', 'lighter',
'inherit', 'initial', 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 or can
be unspecified... The two reasonable choices here are:
- one checkbox to say the boldness is specified or not and a menulist
- a menulist where 'unspecified' is one of the options
In other terms, offering the full power of the 'font-weight' CSS property to a CSS editor will necessarily suck in terms of UI (yeah, forcing a menulist when most users will only use the 'bold' choice just sucks)... I am even tempted to have two modes in the CSS editor, basic and advanced. Pffff....
Ideas, suggestions?

A picture-perfect house on the outside. Who wouldn't like
coming home to that?
But when it comes to home improvement
efforts and dollars, it makes sense that most of us are putting them into the
part of our homes we see the most: the inside.
"It's natural
to think about having a nice bathroom that you use every day instead of how nice
new siding would be," says Dean Bennett, president of a Colorado-based design
and construction firm. He estimates that more than half of homeowners "undertake
remodeling projects with the key purpose of making their homes more livable."
Hicks, director of marketing for Reliableremodeler.com,
puts it this way: "Having a new kitchen or bathroom gives homeowners a greater
feeling of satisfaction because of the new space they have to enjoy. A siding
project, while it may be a good investment, simply does not provide a homeowner
with the same feeling of satisfaction."
Perhaps that's
why people -- provided they want to stay put in their homes -- are less inclined
to check and follow lists of improvement projects that offer the best
return on investment and more likely to open their wallets in search of what
makes them happy.
A survey of more than 2,050 homeowners looking
to hire a contractor -- conducted in 2006 by Renovation Experts, a network of
more than 3,000 remodeling contractors -- revealed that nearly half intended to
undertake an improvement project before the holiday season.
Bennett notes another reason for the
items cited to make such a list -- they are things that go in and out of style
most quickly. "People will fix up the things that bother them the most,"
he says.
The survey results are consistent with other research.
Reliableremodeler.com's data of the top requested services for the last six months
include each of the above as part of the top 11 most requested. Window installation
was another popular project that boosts quality of life on the inside of a home.
2006 survey of 5,000 homeowners conducted by Dan Fritschen, author of "Remodel
or Move?" and founder of the Web site by the same name, delved further to
learn what potential home remodelers were seeking. Half of the additions planned
were for extra living space, such as dens and bedrooms. And 57 percent planned
to add more bathrooms.
James Carey, who has a weekly radio
program and newspaper column called "On
the House" along with his brother Morris, says the above items "have
been high on the list of popular remodeling projects for many years. They continue
to be the most popular because they have the greatest impact on both the appearance
and comfort of a home," he explains, adding that it's typically about "what
most appeals to them and what their pocketbooks will allow."

'Real Life Spiderman' Films Enormous Parkour Jump With GoPro Hero (VIDEO)
Posted: Updated:
Spiderman is real, he lives in Chicago and he owns a GoPro camera.
A man named Ethan Swanson recently filmed an absolutely massive, terrifying and frankly demonstrably insane roof-to-roof jump with a camera attached to his head.
Using the tiny HD device, he scaled a building and then jumped across what appears to be an incredibly large gap.
The death-defying stunt has quickly started to go viral on YouTube.
Needless to say, don't try this anywhere, ever.

This was our second time at this campground. Since our last stay it has become almost exclusively a seasonal camper campground. The sites left for transients are pretty much the leftovers no one wanted. I got to my assigned site and found a car parked in it (belonged to a campground employee) which required getting office staff to come and push it off the site. While I was waiting for this to happen I was accosted by a "seasonal" camper who very belligerently told me I was "blocking the road" and he wanted me to move my 50 plus feet of truck and trailer so he could get by with his compact car. There are multiple side roads he could take. I didn't need this after just driving for 3 hours, and the car on the site. Very unpleasant experience.
Beach is great for kids, as you can walk to China and still be only up to your knees. Dogs not allowed on beach at any time and no other place for them to run. Lots and lots of golf carts stirring up dust at all hours. I guess if you're a seasonal camper this would be just fine, but it is terrible for transient campers.
Not big rig friendly at all, narrow roads with some impossible turns and lots of tight turns. - scjenk

New Point Campground located on the Chesapeake Bay is a hidden gem. Hidden because it is rural and you have to want to go there not just pull off the highway. Gem because it has something for all ages and after being allowed to run down by previous owners has been completely restored to a status beyond any other resort in the area. We love the pool but walking the beach, swimming and floating in the bay, watching families play in the calm water, crabbing and casting a line make it a very special place. Walking dogs along nature trail on the Bay, making friends sitting and sunning on the nice stretch of beach, watch jet skis, kayaks and boats bobbing along in deeper channels, riding golf cart around property, going to pavilion for organized meals and activities, enjoying music beachside on a balmy night, venturing into town of Mathews for browsing in Main Street shops or for a nice meal. Recommend you try it...you won't be disappointed! - jmo
Aug 2014 - $48.00
As others have said, most of the campground is permanent sites and we found that most were in decent shape. The non-permanent sites were very small, can you say packed like sardines? Our awning was only a few feet from the slideout of the camper next to us. The constant traffic from golf carts and pedal cars was extremely annoying and their speeds and driver ages didn't appear to be monitored. The permanent sites at Q4 and Q5 have installed their own halogen streetlight on a 10 foot pole which they turn on at sunset and were not receptive to conversations asking to turn it off since it lit all adjacent sites like daytime. The office was not much help with this issue either. We do not recommend this campground. - cobra188d

today potatoes got planted.
they are in that trench on the left. we'll cover them little by little as they sprout.
pear trees were also planted.
this is the bartlett.
we were a little late getting to the seedlings with chamomile tea. we lost a few to damping-off.
so we decided to start some more. here tabitha is making the tiny soil blocks.
it is kinda like the texture of peanut butter.
aren't they cute?
this will be a tray of spinach.
all in all it was a good day. i even got some plywood for more shelves. we are in need of places to put books. i also got some wood for the boys raised beds. they need to be like kassi's. the weather people are divining snow this evening.

Will you share directions for making the seed blocks. Buying them 'readymade' has cost dearly.
- Rixa said...
Question for you: did you buy your pear tree (and other fruit tress) locally or online? I'm trying to decide which to do. Locally there isn't much selection anyway and prices are about 2x-4x that of online (of course locally they are potted, whereas online they're bare root).
- Robin said...
You are planting potatoes too? Doh, I think every blog out there has planted their potatoes but me and I'm getting jealous. We just picked up some seed potatoes today but the garden beds aren't prepared for them yet.
Do you like your soil blocks? We are thinking about getting a soil blocker soon.

Bidford, Warwickshire
Historical Description
Bidford, a village and a parish in Warwickshire. The village stands on the river Avon, 4 miles SSE of Alcester, and 7 WSW of Stratford-on-Avon. It has a station on the East and West Junction and Stratford-on-Avon, Towcester, and Midland Junction railway, which is connected at Broom Junction (also within the parish) with the M.R., and a post and money order office under Stratford-on-Avon; telegraph office, Broom Junction railway station. It was once a market-town, and it consists chiefly of one long street. There is a bridge of eight arches over the Avon. One of the houses in it is the old Falcon Inn (now partly occupied by the Bidford Institute), traditionally said to have been a haunt of Shakspeare for drinking ale and playing at shovel-board. An absurd story is current that the poet and some of his companions engaged here in a drinking contest with a party of the natives; that he and his companions lay down after it under a crab-tree in the neighbourhood, and slept there from Saturday evening till Monday morning, and that, on being urged on awakening to go back and renew the contest, he exclaimed, " No, I have had enough; I have drinked with "' Piping Pebworth, dancing Marston, Haunted Hlllbro', hungry Grafton, Dudging Exhall, paplsh Wicksford, Beggarly Broom, and drunken Bidford.' "
The parish includes also the hamlets of Barton, Broom, and Marlcliff. Acreage, 3339; population, 1461. The manor was held by William the Conqueror; was given by the Empress Maud to the monks of Bardsley, and passed to the Clarkes, the Danets, and the Skipwiths. Bidford Grange House was a picturesque old edifice, with unequal gables. The scenery, over much of the surface, is richly beautiful, and has fine spots on "the smooth-flowing Avon." The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Worcester; gross value, £250 with residence. The church is of Norman date, but was almost entirely rebuilt in 1835; the chancel, which contains a piscina, is Early English, and was restored in 1886. There is a Wesleyan Chapel.

(Check out the new trailer for "Passion" on page 3.)
I sat down with the 72-year-old filmmaker, who divides his time between New York and Paris, for an Indiewire Q & A at TIFF's Filmmaker Lounge.
Anne Thompson: "With Passion," which screened in Venice, you decided to remake a recent French movie. Why?
Brian De Palma: Well, the movie's called "Love Crime," it's by Alain Corneau and the producer came to me and said he wanted to make an English version because American distributors wanted to buy the rights [for] David Lynch. And I said, "Well, maybe I should do this myself." So I watched the movie, I saw great things to be done with it, I liked the characters and the interactions between the women, and I had some ideas how to make it craftier, sexier and more fun.
AT: Indeed. How did you come to collaborate with screenwriter Natalie Carter, who co-wrote the original?
BDP: Well, I wrote many versions of the script, and we were having problems casting the bad girl. We got people that were interested in playing Noomi's part, but not the bad girl. And we couldn't figure out [if] it was because something in the script was offending them. So I said to the producer, "Maybe there's something I'm missing here, let's bring Natalie in." And then Natalie put in some more material for the bad girl that was in the original script, but was not in the original movie. Then the girls arrived and had a whole different idea about how they were going to play the characters -- which, let me tell you, how shocked I was -- because we'd been working on this script for weeks and months and forever, and then the actresses come in and say, "No, no, no, we don't want to do that, we want to do this." Natalie and I had to go through all their scenes and re-write them with the stuff that they brought in the rehearsals.
AT: In the original, Kristin Scott Thomas and Ludivine Sagnier have a mentor-mentee relationship. When you cast Noomi Rapace and Rachel McAdams, Rachel originally thought that she was going to play the younger part. Why did you want her to play the boss, the dominant role, if you will?
BDP: I saw "Mean Girls." She knows how to be a mean girl. So, there's a lot of fun to playing mean girls. Everybody doesn't have to have a daughter who's a goodie-two-shoes. The girls came in with their own ideas on how to do this. Though I kept them on track with the mystery involved, their interaction was completely, a lot of it, improvised on the way.
AT: What was it that you saw in Noomi that made you think she was right for this role?
BDP: Danger. Noomi's very dangerous, and you don't know what's going on in her head. She also can be incredibly empathetic, but she can be scary. Believe me, I've been scared by Noomi.
AT: From the start there's sexual tension between the two women. What were you up to there?
BDP: What were they up to, is the question. They did all kinds of things that surprised me because they are very easy with each other, and all their kind of sexual stuff that's played off each other, like when Rachel's at the cocktail party and she's sending Noomi over to interact with somebody, and opens up her shirt a little bit and says, "Show a little skin."
AT: She gives her a pair of stacked red heels and red lipstick, which she applies herself.
BDP: She did, herself.
AT: So they were improvising a lot?
BDP: In terms of the kisses that they do, they tried a whole bunch of different ways. And they were pretty explosive.

Lilly Grant Business Intern - SportZone
Heading into my senior year, I knew it was of the utmost importance to obtain a quality summer internship. However, I knew it would be a difficult task to accomplish while I studied abroad in Spain during this past spring semester. Throughout the entire process, the already high opinion I held for the Career Services staff was only reinforced and made stronger. From editing resumes and cover letters to setting up interviews for me through Skype, they did everything they could to help me find a job for the summer. As a result of this, I was offered an 8-week internship at The SportZone in Indianapolis funded through the Lilly Grant.
I chose to intern here because I felt that I would gain valuable experience in many different areas of business. Not only am I able to immerse myself in the sports world here, something that has always been a passion of mine, but I am also learning how to run a business from behind the scenes.
A few of my early projects right now include obtaining price quotes for shirts from several companies and determining which fits our needs best; signing sponsors, designing the layout, and getting quotes for coupon cards that we will pass out with admission this fall; and restructuring our database of contact information along with another summer intern from Wabash, Jason Eichler. I have already led 3 meetings with other companies to discuss our options and goals for the shirt project. Also during my first week at The SportZone, I wrote a contract agreement with a company wishing to rent 40,000 square feet of our facility for an event with around 500 people.
I have quickly learned the importance of every dollar when running your own relatively small business. It causes you to think critically about how you might be able to save a dollar or two here and there and also how to utilize every inch of your facility in order to bring in the most revenue possible instead of wasting space. I am looking forward to the last 7 weeks of my internship to see what new tools and experiences I will gather. Once again, thank you to Career Services for all the help they have given me, you are truly a one-of-a-kind staff that cannot be found elsewhere.

Last week I had a very exciting Tuesday! I explored two externships which I was able to schedule on the same day due to their close proximity. In the morning I had the pleasure of job shadowing Wabash alumnus Jim Kerr '92, who works for a business firm called Mercer. In the afternoon I job shadowed Wabash alumni Tim Rickard '08, who works for a smaller company known as CareGuide. Both experiences were worth the trip, and I learned valuable information as well as gained great insight on what it takes to succeed in the business realm.
I came to college this year, as a junior, without any idea of what I want to do after graduation. With this in mind I knew I had to act if I wanted to find out what I like and pursue that. I talked with Betsy Knott, Assistant Director of Career Services, and we decided that a good starting point would be to job shadow alumni in the healthcare industry. One of the things I learned, and surprised me, during my search was how willing Wabash alumni are to help out a fellow Wally. Almost immediately after Betsy sent out an initial contact to alumni asking them to participate, she received several positive responses, expressing a willingness to help. Once I set up an appointment with Mr. Kerr, he made me aware of Tim Rickard, with whom I later set up an appointment on the same day, because both work in the same area.
Meeting with Mr. Kerr was an exciting experience! Once I arrived to the 43rd floor of the Chase Tower, I immediately was presented with an awesome view of downtown Indianapolis as I was directed to Mr. Kerr's office. He gave me some great insight on what it is like to be in the sales department of a business, showed me first hand of what he does on a day to day basis, and gave me advice to take away from the experience. One piece of advice he told me was that nobody will care more about my career than me, and that I can't just wait for my ship to come in, rather I need to jump out and find it myself. He also introduced me to several other people working at Mercer. Mr. Kerr gave me a feel for what it is like working at a bigger company, and where I could be if I work hard to improve my career.
The meeting with Mr. Rickard was equally a learning rich experience. We met for lunch at "The Bearcat Pub", which, just FYI the Rubens there are quite tasty! We talked about our Wabash experiences and Tim gave me a brief introduction on his company. We visited his office at CareGuide, where he showed me around and introduced me to many different people who work there. I also sat in with him as he made a few business calls, including one to my old friend and teammate John Kasey '08, who now works in Seattle. Shadowing Tim was great! It helped me get the feel for working in a smaller company as well as getting a feel for what kind of job I could acquire directly out of college. Also, the experience helped me meet and network with new people.
It was a fun and enlightening experience. Not only did I get to see what an alumnus does after being out for 15 years, but I also learned what Wabash graduates can do immediately following graduation. I was also able to learn about the differences between a large company like Mercer and a smaller more entrepreneurial business like CareGuide. Being able to see this dichotomy, as well as going to some neat places and meeting new people all at one time, made this day one to remember, and one to learn from.

Rabin Paudel Studying in Tennessee
Rabin Paudel '10 - I have been doing research at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Oak Ridge, Tennessee since August. It is an off-campus study program designed as a science semester which gives the opportunity for undergraduate students to participate in on-going research at ORNL.
ORNL is the US Department of Energy's largest lab. The main areas of research work that go on here include neutron science, nuclear fusion, "green" chemistry, genetics, alternative energy and national security. About 3000 scientists work here every year as guest scientists or permanent employees.
I first learned about Oak Ridge when I read "Surely, You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" by Richard Feynman. Feynman describes his frequent visits to Oak Ridge while he was working on the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos. The city of Oak Ridge has a rich history associated with it. The lab played an important role in ending World War II. It is one of the three labs built to make nuclear weapons for the Manhattan Project (the other two are in Los Alamos, New Mexico and Hanford, Washington). That's where Oak Ridge got its nicknames The Secret City and The Atomic City. I heard that Oak Ridge was not included on the official map until the 1960s.
During my stay here, I am working on Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) experiments. NMR is the same technology that is used in MRI, an imaging technology used in medicine. As part of my research, I am making micro-coils and LC circuits to do NMR spectroscopy in solid-state molecules. My second project is in the field of "green" chemistry. One of the groups at ORNL is working on developing more efficient batteries. I am assigned to measure the diffusion properties of the ionic-liquids used in such batteries.
Other than the research work, as a part of the science semester, I am required to attend weekly seminars and tours which overview different research-work going on at ORNL. The seminars are very helpful in getting the latest updates in science. Last month, we visited a supercomputing center, home to the second fastest supercomputer in the world. It was amazing. And last week, I got an opportunity to visit the remote system department and learn about robotics. Their work in making robots to work on the high radiation zones sounds groundbreaking.
Other than that, I have found East Tennessee very different from the Midwest. We are having nice fall weather, warmer than that in Indiana. The leaves in the Smokey Mountains look gorgeous. East Tennessee is full of outdoor activities ranging from rafting to rock climbing. It feels great to go outside and enjoy the fall weather.
This has been a great opportunity for me to come to a national lab to get research experience. I would like to thank the physics department and the off-campus studies office at Wabash for providing me this opportunity.
I will be writing more about my off-campus study experience. Until next time, so long!

A summer of experiences and opportunities…
Well, school is almost here again and the summer is drawing to a close. We, the summer project managers at the Schroeder Center for Career Development, are now going to reflect a little on our summer projects.
The Community Fair will again take place this year. Hopefully, we should have about 70 organizations participate in the festivities on September 2 from 11:00- 1:30. Pat and I learned a lot from the interaction with local industries. First and foremost, people want what's best for them, always. So Pat and I learned quickly when dealing with potential participants and sponsors to raise a need. This was not too difficult, the whole "new client" spiel did the trick. Although, interestingly enough, some businesses flat-out told us "no," which still today I cannot understand. Once we gathered sponsors, reserved the field house and caterer, and finally confirmed enough businesses, the rest was just management. Overall, the success of the project will be measured in the attendance on September 2.
Our other project which is about to hit shelves soon is the Career Success Tips from Wabash Alumni. We scoured the United States for the broadest, most diverse group of alumni to give our students the best possible career advice DVD. After six hours of footage, hours of editing, downloads and uploads, condensing and cutting, and just spending some quality time with Brandon and Jeana we had ourselves a DVD. I have to admit, there were times when I thought that this project was going to flop. However, once Pat and I got a clear vision of our goal, things started to work out. We interviewed alumni in Chicago, Indianapolis, Lafayette, Denver, and Boulder. The alumni took time out of their schedules to share their advice and stories. I know it is stated many times, but Wabash alumni are some of the best and most generous guys you will ever meet. There will always be technical issues, but the knowledge and experiences we gained over a great summer will stick with us.
Pat and I learned a little about ourselves this summer as well. Pat went from a guy who was thinking about a joint law and business degree after Wabash to pursuing a career in the film world. He has found a passion for making movies and writing scripts and is going to pursue this adventure after Wabash. I reaffirmed my belief that I want to pursue law after Wabash; furthermore, this experience has taught me that there are so many different types of law out there that I can practically do whatever interests me. I also decided to pick up an economics minor. I have always wanted to do so, but never have really pursued it. This summer's interaction with alumni and fundraising has made me realize the importance of economics. We both appreciate the opportunities we were given this summer and we hope that our work benefits Wabash students this upcoming school year.

Theatre Helps Re-Discover Inner Child
Spencer Elliott '10 - I've recently come to the realization that if you become apathetic; the concrete jungle will slowly blot out your inner-child. The morning traffic, cold coffee, hour-long meetings, lunch lines, squeaky chairs, jammed printers, progress reports, and afternoon traffic take their toll over time.
This newfound understanding is not some divine revelation — it took my internship with the 2008 Summer Conservatory for Youth at the Indiana Repertory Theatre to realize that my inner-child was in peril. When I started the program I quickly realized that, compared to the children, I lacked wholehearted spontaneity and enthusiasm. However, over a period of four weeks, the students and teachers awakened within each other and myself a child-like desire to learn new things, meet different people, and take bold risks.
To those who are unfamiliar with the Summer Conservatory, let me enlighten you — this was the 11th year of the program with 67 students ages 8 to 18 participating with over 20 high caliber professionals directing and instructing classes. Acting track students received training in acting, voice, movement, Shakespeare, creative dramatics, and dance for theatre. Production track students received training in stage management, directing, lighting, scenic design, costumes, properties and playwriting. The four-week program culminated in a public performance that drew an enthusiastic full house of over 193 people.
While the final presentation was meaningful, at the IRT we believe that the ongoing education of youth is of the utmost importance. First and foremost, Summer Conservatory makes each student self-aware and self-assured members of a greater community that believes in the importance of theatre in modern society. In addition, over four weeks, while each student makes a different degree of progress on the stage; everyone is more prepared for the real world (for the post-it, the printer, and the paycheck). They learn to react truthfully, think critically, and unapologetically strive to achieve their goals.
I honestly hope my students bring the genuine to the real world that severely lacks it; I know my inner child and I will.

Gaining Invaluable Experience in awesome Ann Arbor
I have been participating in a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at the University of Michigan since May. As the name suggests, the program gives opportunity for undergraduates from across the country to participate in a research work going on at the physics department at the University of Michigan.
I am involved in a research at an atomic physics lab, which is searching for an electric dipole moment (eEDM) in electrons using polar molecules such as tungsten carbide. The ongoing research has a big importance in the physics world. There have been a lot of theoretical predictions of eEDM and finding eEDM experimentally gives us a new idea about the symmetry of the universe. With that ultimate goal in mind, we are now studying the properties of a supersonic gas jet of tungsten atoms seeded with meta-stable noble gases and also a beam of tungsten-carbide molecules.
Ann Arbor has been providing me great hospitality. It is a college-town with a lot of things to do. Even though this is a summer time with maybe 10% of the total students present, there are a lot of interesting things going on. I visited Ann Arbor Street Art Fair last week. The festival is an annual event with about a half million people coming here to see top quality artwork by the finest artists.
In addition to the research work, I also got an opportunity to attend the Michigan Quantum Summer School, a two-week long conference on quantum information science and precision measurement experiments. I found myself lucky to be able to attend talks given by famous atomic physicists. When I worked at Prof. Martin Madsen's lab at Wabash last summer, I read many papers on quantum computing, and this year I was able to go to the lectures given by the same authors. During the conference, I met Eric Cornell (2001 Physics Nobel Prize Laureate) from University of Colorado, Boulder who came to visit our lab. I also presented a poster on the work I am doing during the conference. One more historic thing I learned about the conference was that, Michigan provided a good location for the development of quantum mechanics in 1930s and 1940s by running quantum summer schools and, with the same spirit, they revived the concept of Michigan Quantum Summer School from this year after about 50 years.

Internship with opportunities
Steve Popovich, '10--As we all know, internships are about giving students "real life" job experiences and the opportunity for them to figure out what they actually want to do after Wabash. The internship I have this summer has encompassed these beliefs completely. I am working with Adorant Services Group as a small business consultant. The experiences I receive from this job are quite unique compared with other internships offered. Basically, my prime responsibility is structuring and creating a marketing and sales plan for an up-and-coming company. Now you may be thinking, hmmm…that is a pretty hefty job for a kid in college that has no experience with this type of thing, and I couldn't agree more! But, I have quickly learned that there is no experience better than real world experience; fully immersing yourself in something that you have no idea about, then getting the hang of it, then actually becoming good at it. The best gratification of this experience is the learning curve and finding the capability within yourself to accomplish difficult tasks. Kind of sounds similar to the Wabash curriculum huh?
This internship has also shown me much of Indiana, as well as Chicago, and even Milwaukee, WI. Our 4th of July weekend in Milwaukee was quite the memorable experience. My boss sent me and the other intern Mark Shultz up to Milwaukee for a consumer interview, but he wanted to make sure we also had a good time. It just so happened that during 4th of July weekend, Summerfest was going on. For those of us that are not familiar with Summerfest, it is the largest outdoor music festival in the world. So our boss got us a hotel room on the top floor of the Hyatt Regency in downtown Milwaukee and sent us on our way to Summerfest. All he said was, "I want you guys to have a good time," and we sure did.
Another aspect of the internship that I enjoy is my boss' enthusiasm to introduce us to other successful alumni and pick their brains about their careers. One of the notable meetings was with Greg Jania at W.P. Global Partners in the financial district of Chicago. It was a great feeling to walk through the financial district of Chicago dressed in a suit. It gave me a feeling of somewhat importance and substance. But, the lunch meeting with Mr. Jania in his 39th floor conference room overlooking the city was the highlight of the day. We discussed different aspects of his career and the challenges he had to overcome to be where he is today. We also discussed career paths that we could follow after Wabash that will give us the opportunity to have a great jobs. This meeting as well as all of the other meetings with alums throughout the summer have been enlightening and have made me finally realize what I wish to pursue after Wabash. As I mentioned in short earlier, this internship has given me some great work experience, but the "real life" experience has been priceless.

Hi All,
I already asked a question in the Road Bike section regarding whether I should buy a cyclocross bike as my first one (I am in mid 30's and haven't ridden since my teen years). So, now I am pretty much set on getting a cyclocross bike, but the question is which one I should get. I've kinda narrowed my selection down to the following 5 bikes: Cannondale CAADX 6, Cannondale CAADX 5, Bianchi Volpe, Bianchi Zurigo and Colnago World Cup 2.0. Would the CAADX 5, Zurigo and Colnago be an overkill for a complete beginner like myself? I don't plan on ever racing, just weekend rides on the streets of Brooklyn, NY to keep myself in shape.
