In 1917, the world witnessed the birth of the Ford Model TT and the age of motor vehicles as we know it today. Ford led the way into the motorized age and still leads today thanks to a long history of innovation and hard work.
Within a decade of the Model TT being released Ford had sold 1.3 million vehicles and was ready to roll out a new design with the Model AA in 1928. This propelled them into the 1930s with the Model BB and then the Ford Model 50 pickup truck with its famous Ford Flathead V8 engine. In the 1940s, Ford aided the WWII effort by producing mechanical parts for the military. Afterward, it resumed commercial truck production in 1947.
The Ford F-Series dominated the 1950s and 1960s, but its innovation didn't stop there. In 1965, Ford debuted the twin I-beam front suspension raising the durability of the Ford chassis as well as the truck's level of comfort.
Ford implemented more and more modern technology such as power steering and brakes, which began to appeal to family-oriented drivers. The 1970s and 1980s saw updated features like air conditioning as well as improved hauling and hitching features that further solidified Ford's reputation for creating mobile, family-friendly trucks. In 1977, the iconic slogan of "Built Ford Tough" circulated around the country and defined Ford's lineup from then on.
In 1998, the introduction of the Ford Super Duty lineup of trucks greatly expanded Ford's commercial vehicle offerings. While making great strides to grow in the commercial truck market, Ford continued to attract family and light-duty truck owners with expanded luxury trim packages that included high-end leather finishes and technologies like built-in navigation. Today, Ford engineering is highlighted by the wide deployment of its EcoBoost engines which provide incredible power and efficiency.
After a century of creating innovative trucks, the Ford brand is stronger than ever. Visit us at Mama's Used Cars and experience "Built Ford Tough" engineering firsthand.

Mick and Judy Guttau, TS Banking Group, Treynor Iowa
Shortly after his discharge from the Army in 1971, Mick Guttau started working as a universal banker at Treynor State Bank, an Iowa community bank chartered in 1925. In 1978, using the family farm as collateral, Mick and his wife, Judy – a former schoolteacher, bought the bank, which has been on an expansion path ever since. It was branded as TS Bank in 2005 and has acquired other banks to maintain its pattern of growth. It now has seven branches in Iowa and $430 million in assets.
In addition, TS Bank has the largest Iowa state-chartered C-Corp trust department west of Des Moines with nearly $290 million in assets. Banking is a family affair for the Guttaus; their daughter Heidi Guttau-Fox joined the board of directors in 2000. In 2003, their son Joshua Guttau joined the bank and now serves as CEO. Mick remains chairman of the board of TS Banking Group and Judy serves as board secretary.
BN: What are the pluses and perils in two-banker families?
Judy: One peril is when a spouse who is a detailed person asks a banking question at 10:30 p.m. when the other spouse is trying to disconnect and go to sleep! However, the resolution we have come to agree to try not to talk business when at home…or at least not after supper time. Most of the time this works for us!
Mick: There are many pluses, such as the ability to work with the most important person in your life. You may not always see each other each day, but knowing the other one is there has value. There is also the dual access for employees and clients when one is absent. Plus, there is a deeper understanding of what your husband or wife might be going through when facing opportunities and challenges.
BN: Will your bank be introducing any new products or programs this year?
Judy and Mick: We are developing our TS Prosperity Group (formerly known as Wealth Management) at all locations and acquisitions. And we will continue growing the TS Ag Finance Division.
BN: How are you changing how you market to your customers?
Judy and Mick: In recent years we have increased marketing through all electronic media, which we will continue exploring. We are continuing development of all relationship managers who work one-on-one with clients. In addition, we are developing financial literacy programs through the TS Institute, which has reached 10,000 individuals in recent years.
Mick: Our focus is on client success, not just client satisfaction. We want to ignite prosperity in all our communities. We strive to be more than a community bank; we are a community prosperity engine.
BN: What are they keys to a productive work force at your bank?
Judy and Mick: Communication and training are important, but we also believe it is important to cultivate our intentional and heartfelt company culture and core values as we grow. This means making sure all managers and employees understand, "The Troops Come First."
BN: What do you consider to be your greatest opportunities (or challenges) this year?
Judith and Mick: We both just turned 70 – so getting up and getting to work can be a challenge! But the great opportunity is being challenged and motivated by the opportunity to work with millennials and other employees, most of whom are younger than us!
Mick: Focusing on the agriculture situation and working with borrowers to address challenges in their ag operations.

Exciting start for 10 artists and five new art programs!
Five art programs are chosen to receive support, and will be working with a school class for the whole duration of the next academic year!
The following projects have been chosen:
- JEG-VI with Mads Buer and Torill Solvang (theatre/3.grade)
- DRAUM OM SPEL with Jon Tombre, Endre Volden and Mette Karlsvik (theatre/upper secondary school)
- LINJER I ILABEKKEN with Gry Ulrichsen and Anne Helga Henning (visual art/biology/3.grade)
- RØYNDOMEN with Are Pilskog (film/5-7.grade)
- TRACES with Anne Sarah Loe and Helge Aarseth (visual art/architecture/upper secondary)
The intention behind Seanse's Art Program 2015 is to develop knowledge and gain experiences from long-term art programs within a Norwegian context. Seanse defines an art program consisting of one or more Teaching Artists, a creative partnership and an art program. This is a pilot, where we will follow up and support the projects along the process, through a residency in Volda as well as gatherings for reflections where the five projects come together. The first gathering took place in Volda on the 11th and 12th of August, where all the projects were presented, and had talks with, and mentoring from, the employees at Seanse. We look forward to the continuation!

Hibiscus★★ // Mayfair // London
Hibiscus is one of the few places in London where you can really appreciate the essence and true perfection of a great restaurant. Highly rated by others, Clause Bosi has managed his Mayfair restaurant like an orchestra since 2007. The dining room is intimate and welcoming, with well-dressed tables in quiet and calm environment.
It's here that Bosi gives diners an exceptional overall experience at the real 2** Michelin, which is where restaurants like the Hand and Flowers fall-down so spectacularly. Everything about this place is perfection from the quality of products, through to the creativity of the menu and the exceptional cooking skills on display.
A memorable starter is the roll of Devon crab, coated with crushed cob-nuts, which add a sweet and delicate effect. Beside the crab is a melon sorbet with a luscious sweet fruity flavour. This combination unexpectedly works well because of the texture and temperature. The crab, being at room temperature is lifted by the cold and fresh melon sorbet. It also seems to taste stronger because of the clever mix; superb.
Though the surprise of the meal is truly the amazing quality of the main cod pavé. Cod, perhaps the most over-used uninteresting fish is brought to new levels, served on a layer of French coco de Paimpol, which are huge yellow beans that are meltingly smooth. The fish is translucent, expertly cooked, tasting like no other cod you will have ever eaten before. On the second taste, the liquorice essence adds something subtle and delicate. This dish is pure class, nothing fancy, but it demonstrates the magnificent way that Bosi does exceptional things with simple, high quality products. The execution is astonishing and there are no gimmicks, just an explosion of flavour.
Across his menu, Bosi presents harmony and delicate craftsmanship He is not on TV every day, so he's able to do amazing things in the kitchen. Once you leave this little sanctuary, you'll be back outside in noisy London, with a satisfied feeling that you've really experienced the high standard of a genuine 2** Michelin in the UK; a true experience on the level of a true two star expectation.

Still not much to tell.
The metal for our fifth wheel repair was supposed to arrive last Tuesday - it came in Wednesday.
The welder was supposed to do the work Thursday or Friday, then it became Friday. But, because bad weather put him behind, it's now supposed to be next Monday. We'll see.
Fortunately, we have learned to temper our expectations on such things, and we have a place to stay for as long as we need.
Based on "hours", with full focus and absolutely everything going right, the job could be done in a week. We were told it would likely be two weeks, but we know Butch tends to over-promise sometimes - "Bless his heart". We expected it to be at least three weeks and maybe four because we know how these things work.
If our only choice would have been a hotel, we might be a little steamy right now. Our insurance would have paid for about a week in a hotel. But we are lucky to have options and the options have coincided with other demands on our time in Louisville.
We're still working towards a closing on the Louisville house. We have just a few things left to fix, and the buyer is proceeding through his lender. The appraisal came back a little under the sale price, but we weren't surprised. So, we had to reduce the sales price a bit; however, we'll still be happy as long as we don't have to put any more money into the house.
According to the contract, we are supposed to close by July 10 at the latest. Maybe, just maybe, we can get a closing that coincides with the completion of our rig's stay in the RV hospital, and we can save a trip back here.
That's all for now. Hopefully, next week will bring more definitive answers.

Submetering is the smartest, simplest way to control student living costs and stay competitive.
SSI's ability to bill multiple roommates, integrate with management software and provide paperless billing and payment options pass the test with managers, students and parents alike.
Why Submeter?
When residents are held accountable for their own utility use, they are immediately motivated to use conservatively. In fact, it is not uncommon to see as much as a 35% decrease in utility use with submetering. We refer to this effect as Conscious Conservation. Submetering also reveals issues with waste, leakage and fraud, benefiting the planet and your bottom line.

My life has forever changed. I cooked bacon in the oven. That's it. Life changed!

Brookings forward Conor Andrle named Central Division Star of the Week
Wenatchee forward Parker Tuomie named Midwest Division Star of the Week
Port Huron forward Bryan Yim named North Division Star of the Week
Amarillo forward Kyle Gattelaro named South Division Star of the Week
FRISCO, TEXAS – The North American Hockey League (NAHL) today announced the Divisional Stars of the Week presented by Easton for the week ending February 23, 2014. The Divisional Stars of the Week is a weekly feature during the 2013-14 regular season that honors the top performing players in each of the four NAHL divisions. Only players that are nominated by their respective teams are considered for the Divisional Players of the Week award.
Central Division Star of the Week: Conor Andrle, forward, Brookings Blizzard
In what can be described as a 'must-win' situation Conor Andrle and the Brookings Blizzard captured a pair of weekend games from the Bismarck Bobcats in a home-and-home series. The 20-year-old forward from St. Louis Park, Minnesota, had three goals and an assist and had a +2 rating in the two weekend wins as the Blizzard maintained their playoff hopes. On Friday, Andrle (5'9/175) had two goals, including the game-winner, in a 4-2 home win over the Bobcats. The next night, Andrle scored the game-tying goal and assisted on another in a 4-3 win in Bismarck. For the season, Andrle is second on the team in scoring with 31 points in 46 games. He also played in last week's NAHL Top Prospects Tournament for Team Central. "It was a short week with Top Prospects, but Conor played well there and took that momentum into Bismarck series," said Blizzard head coach Cory Laylin. "He scored some big goals in the series and he played hard in defensive zone that translated into offense."
2nd Star: Nick Lehr, G, Austin Bruins
Honorable Mention (alphabetical): Connor Girard, G, Brookings Blizzard – Kyle Haak, F, Aberdeen Wings – Niko Hildenbrand, F, Austin Bruins – Jadin Martin, F, Minot Minotauros – TJ Roo, F, Aberdeen Wings – Brandon Wildung, G, Minot Minotauros

ISSUE NUMBER 145 | February 13, 2017
Remember to Say Thank You
There is a lot of angst flying around these days. Uncertainty on the national stage and in our home communities seems to have everyone on edge. Those kinds of feelings tend to make one more inwardly focused and protective. While that's only natural - a kind of a self-preservation response - it won't do any of us any good. Withdrawing into ourselves won't make us easier to get along with, or make us safer, or even make us feel any better.
You know what will? Letting others know you care about them and appreciate what they do.
Reaching out can be as simple as saying "thank you" to those who work beside you every day, or who amplify your philanthropic investments on the front lines. A simple "thank you" can change someone's day for the better. It can also help build a feeling of mutual respect between you and almost anyone else.
This doesn't have to be a grand, complex gesture (although I'm sure a bouquet of flowers or a nice bottle of wine wouldn't be rejected). In fact, there are many different ways you could say "thank you" in less than 30 seconds.
Email to a colleague thanking them for the work they do.
Text a family member or friend who has provided support or simply made you laugh recently.
Send a message to someone in the field to acknowledge something they've done that you admire.
Write a handwritten note to a mentor to thank them for the time they've spent with you.
Thank a policymaker who stood up for an issue that you believe in.
Acknowledging the actions of others lets them know that they're not alone. It sends a signal that you believe in them. And it also builds a bedrock of common courtesy that is often forgotten when people feel scared or uncertain. In that way, saying a simple "thank you" can help calm the waters and set the stage for productive conversations.
Here's the best part - you don't have to like someone to thank them. But when you do thank someone you don't really like or get along with, your own perspective about that person may start to change (just the tiniest bit) as well. By thanking them, you've opened a doorway to dialog for both of you - and
is what will ultimately return us all to a feeling of security and certainty in our ever-changing world.

"We had an idea for a new initiative but needed to refine and expand upon it. Putnam added muscle to our existing staff capacity, including the organizational skills to coordinate, publicize, and convene a series of national workshops, and helped us pinpoint our program design. The initiative, Jobs to Careers, has received tremendous response, including an award from the Council on Foundations. I would definitely hire Putnam again."

So why does it start with a scene involving Toshiko? I suppose because I still feel I need to keep a grounding in the original Torchwood characters even when the story centres on the new characters I introduced. I don't know if I really do need to do that. Perhaps next year it should be time to let them have more stand alone stories.
The fact that Dougal and Darius both have certain superhuman powers is played out to the full in this story. Dougal gets fatally shot and wakes in the refuse lorry. Darius spends much of the time reconstituting himself from dust. Is it too much? The feedback so far suggests readers would like Darius to do more vampire stuff. Maybe he will. The problem is that his powers can seem a bit Deus ex Machina if they have never been seen before and they are what are needed to resolve the plot. I think the important thing is going to be sticking to powers vampires are known to have and not introducing anything unusual.
I toyed with the idea of an alien conspiracy at the bottom of the Human cloning experiments, but I think the old Torchwood adage that sometimes the monsters are Human worked better. It allowed Darius to have his moment of anger at the way Human beings waste each other's lives, forgetting how valuable that life is.
Crashing the refuse lorry into the reception? Well,
I've done some boring temp jobs in my time. Call it payback.

We Have Good News!
January 27, 20152015
Breaking News: YWAM visa licence reinstated
Breaking news—and it's good news! YWAM's visa licence has been restored!
Thankyou to everybody who prayed with us—this is a genuinely miraculous turn-around. Since the UK Visa Authority's inspection in September (which highlighted some areas in which YWAM record-keeping was not up to the new standards), we have been aware that there were three possibilities: at worst, we could completely lose our visa sponsorship licence (meaning everyone on YWAM visas would have to leave the country, and no more could be granted); or, we could be down-graded and have our licence suspended (meaning those already in the country could remain, but no new visas could be granted for six months); or at best (but this seemed almost too much to hope for!), we might be forgiven and our Grade-A status maintained. A month ago we were told that it was going to be the worst-case scenario. Now, after an appeal and much united prayer, that decision has been completely reversed – and we can rejoice in the best possible result!
This is fantastic news for the whole of YWAM England, and especially for our pioneering YWAM Cambridge team. It means that we can go ahead with the April DTS that some of our team are hoping to run after our current DTS leaves Cambridge to go on outreach; it means that we can continue renting the properties which are our little foothold in the city; it means that the current DTS trainees who have felt led to stay longer-term in full-time mission as part of our team will indeed be able to do so. Hallelujah! And thankyou again for your prayers. It's 2 Corinthians 1:11 in action.
Outreach locations decided
Meanwhile it has been decided that for the international outreach phase of the DTS (ie. April & May), our team will be going to Albania and Macedonia. The wonderful people at Prayercast have put together some fantastic videos to help you begin praying for these places (here's Albania and here's Macedonia). Having a little baby means myself and Taryn won't be leading the team on outreach – we're entrusting that task to our four of our fantastic staff team. Just a few decades ago Albania was run by a totalitarian atheistic communist regime – those with the courage to be counted as Christians were actually sealed in barrels and rolled into the sea! One of our speakers on last year's DTS, Reona Jolie, shared with us some of her story of entering the country during that closed period – if you're interested you can read her book, Tomorrow You Die. But now we have the opportunity to freely visit and reach out to the Albanian people (who are mostly Muslim), as well as serving and encouraging the young and growing church.
Pray for us as we communicate back and forth with the YWAM Albania team to work out the best way to use our time there. 25% of the population of Macedonia is actually made up of Albanian Muslims, so connecting with them will likely be a focus of the time in Macedonia. In thinking of Macedonia, I've been encouraged by the story in Acts 16 of Paul & Silas' first missionary journey to Macedonia – even when they were imprisoned, their worship released the power of God in such a way that the jailer was compelled to ask 'What must I do to be saved?' Pray that our team would have opportunities to answer that same question–and to boldly respond that all you need do is to 'Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ!'
Seeking Sons of Peace
Just as the decision was finalized to send our team to bless Muslims in Albania and Macedonia, the Paris shootings have provoked another crisis in relations between the Muslim world and the Western world. While much of the Western world seemed to be declaring #IamCharlie, what I found most inspiring was the slightly less loudly trumpeted tribute to Ahmed Merabet, the Muslim police officer who was killed by the terrorists. I have said before that I am a little skeptical about an absolute right to free speech. I have in the past justified the teasing of atheists, but in a world where technology means that all the world is within earshot of each other, it is a dangerous thing to prioritise liberté over fraternité.
Pray for our team as they go to Albania and Macedonia, that they would find people of peace with whom they can communicate the truth and love of Jesus across whatever cultural and religious obstacles they might encounter. Pray for us likewise here in Cambridge that our conversation would always be full of grace, seasoned with salt. And praise God that regardless of whether specific prayers (whether for visas or whatever) are quickly answered, we always have good news to share: the message that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners!
Jesus said to them, "The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out laborers into his harvest. Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves… Into whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house.' If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him… (From Luke 10)
Your partners in the harvest, Peter, Taryn & Isaac

Rejuvenation Upgrade
Abstract—Rejuvenation technology has advanced considerably over the last decade. Field and laboratory data demonstrate that modern rejuvenation technology outperforms the venerable approach introduced over thirty years ago by the author and his colleagues. Reliability has improved two-fold and anticipated post-rejuvenation life has doubled. Many cables that were rejuvenated in the late 1980's through the turn of the century have delivered their anticipated two decades or more of reliable service. What is a circuit owner to do when the previous generation of life extension has fulfilled its role and legacy rejuvenated cable is back in the pool of at risk cables? Of course, the circuit owner can replace the cable at considerable capital expense, or the cable can be upgraded with the next generation of rejuvenation technology. The next-gen fluids include powerful anti-oxidants, voltage stabilizers, stress-smoothing technology, and partial discharge suppression technology that were not available in the older technology.
The case for a rejuvenation upgrade is even more compelling than the original case for treatment. Thirty years of experience all but eliminate the technology risk. A cable's neutral condition has a baseline measurement which can be compared to the current condition. This comparison allows accurate extrapolation to future periods. Next-gen fluids are designed to deal with all significant aging mechanisms including ephemeral partial discharge. A cable's suitability to be treated is pre-established. Early field results will be reviewed.

There are days that I am not a good witness for the Lord. If you looked at me and listened to me, you would probably believe that I am not a Christian and definitely not a practicing Catholic.
This is one of those days.
Today, I am hurt, disappointed, chewed up, spit out, and extremely vulnerable. Sulking on my back porch, I listen to the sweet sounds of mother birds feeding their babies, just feet away from my chair.
It isn't making me happy, but it should.
The frosty temperatures with nearly daily rain have given way to balmy sunshine and a warmth so comfortable, it makes me sleepy.
It isn't making me happy, but it should.
Again, I have allowed myself to absorb ugly critical voices from family and friends, as well as my own internal angry menace. She is very loud and quite judgmental.
These loved ones seem to know how I should be feeling and what I should do, but no one is here living my life, feeling the shards of glass penetrating my moccasins. No one is here day after day as I watch the deterioration of all that was once comfortable and reassuring. No one is stopping by to carry this burden that has suddenly become too much for me to bear.
It is hard to hear Christ through the din of opprobrium, disdain, and faux perfection. I know He is there, but right now, I can't hear Him.
On my knees, I begged, pleaded, prayed, and shouted for Him to make things better for my husband, his health, my health, and our finances, but again…..silence.
Truly, countless others have it worse and longer than we have endured our suffering. I pray for them too.
I have a friend who is dying and my problems pale in comparison to she and her husband and two small children.
Another friend has lost his vocation through false accusation. It tears what is left of my heart into tiny jagged pieces to know the suffering he endures.
Despite this knowledge, my usual mantra of gratitude echoes through the trees and into the farm fields behind me. It doesn't come back to warm my soul. Instead, there is a chill that slightly angers me because I cannot even master gratitude correctly.
What is my message for today, other than a scurrilous rant?
Perhaps, it is that I CAN rant and lightening does not strike.
Or that He who created me loves me despite my ingratitude.
Or that even my anger can be a prayer to He who can do all things.

Many people can relate to the 'witch' in October. When the leaves change color, the air becomes crisp and Halloween is just around the corner. I've created this blog as a doorway into the life of a real witch who lives in New England, year round. An insiders look behind the creaky door of the haunted house of my life, where I am a witch 24/7 - 365. My name is Faith McCann and I will be writing a new post weekly. I hope you like my work.

You are cordially invited to . . . Enchantments upcoming events!
Good Afternoon,
The next few weeks have a couple of fun things happening at Enchantments that I'd like to invite you to. First our Summer Solstice (Litha) Ritual and Feast. To be held on Saturday June 22nd in the front gardens of Enchantments at 10 am. Followed right afterwards by a pagan feast. You are invited and are asked to please bring a dish to share with others. We celebrate Litha (a Germanic name for a Summer Goddess) to honor the God and Goddess and this time of Summer and abundance. Litha is the only Summer Sabbat we have as the prior three were considered Spring Sabbats. It is directly across from the Winter Solstice or Yule which we celebrate 6 months from now in December. But enough about winter!! Now is the time to celebrate the warmth of the Sun, the flowers and abundance we find in our lives.
The next activity planned after our Litha Sabbat is our Bi-monthly Women's Spirituality Group meeting. This next meeting is being held at a special time and date, 7 pm on Tuesday July 2nd and we will meet at Halls Archery located at 291 Middle Tpke West in Manchester, CT. Ladies only, as this is our Women's Spirituality Group meeting and it will cost each lady $12.00 to participate. After an hour of shooting bow and arrow we will take the party across the street to the Chinese Buffet which will cost each person $13.99 and talk about our experiences. I have conducted this archery class every year for several years and it is a blast! No worries if you have never shot a bow and arrow before, nor if you are the least athletic person you know! With the excellent instructors at Hall's Archery you will be shooting bulls eyes before you know it. The hour goes by quickly and the empowerment from such an experience is awesome. Being able to hold a quivering bow in your hands and direct an arrow to its destination can be a metaphor in many ways into taking charge of situations in your life and directing things as to where to go and how to work them for your own benefit. We will conduct a spirituality meeting while having dinner at the buffet. I hope you will consider coming to this event. Please call me, Ms. Faith at Enchantments 860-791-6033 or e mail me at email@example.com to let me know to expect you at Hall's Indoor Archery on July 2nd.
Peace and Happiness

Some things I'm pumped about: the one-eyed Black African queen Amanirenas who stole a bronze bust of her enemy, Augustus Caesar, and stashed it under her palace for all to tread on (true story—see the PBS special), my favorite recent score from the Free Store (psychedelic-colored sunglasses), and a thrice-weekly meal-share some friends have started on The Blackberry Farm. What do these things have to do with the Tiny House? Nothing, really. My point is, construction is slow, but in the meantime there's no shortage of delightful things to learn, find, and eat.
However, this is a blog about our little Juniper, so here's the scoop. As you may have ascertained from the post title, we've installed the windows, battens and trim!
The Colorado-made windows from Alpen have lovely, almond-colored acrylic frames with an insulating foam core; two to three panes of glass layered with inert gases for extra insulating value; and an R-value of seven to nine! My dream of standing stark naked in front of a window in the winter sun without contracting hypothermia is near fruition!
Let's talk window design. There are fifteen windows in this 28-foot long by 9 ½-foot wide by 11-foot high space. The abundance of light the windows provide creates an open feel and connects its inhabitants to the outdoors. The windows are installed in a recessed manner to give a little more shading from our hot southern sun and give some protection from the cold winter winds. Donovan chose most of the windows to be operable awning style, which open from the bottom, with the hope that we will be able to keep them open even when it rains.
There are no windows on the hot, western side of the house, which is the end with the trailer tongue, where we'll mount the utility shed. We indicate cardinal directions of windows because, although the house is moveable, the window design reflects a passive solar orientation: there are more windows on the south side to heat the place in the winter while the sun is shining, while the north side has fewer windows, with a higher R-value, since there won't be much direct sun hitting them and the north side is generally colder. Donovan used WUFI energy modeling software for selecting the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient, thermal value, and quantity of windows. When modeling the windows, he included awnings on the south side to be installed during our hot summers, which is kind of a bummer, because if he goes that route he'll miss those sky views through the upper windows. He's considering investing in some remote-controlled transparent shades instead, like the ones we found in the Passive House in Portland we stayed in.
Now, for the rest of the Tiny structure. The trim is on, and it's gorgeous! The carpenter angels, Ed and Walter, sprayed on this non-toxic natural oil with an agricultural applicator, then rubbed it in with a rag, to prolong the life of the cedar trim and hopefully keep that gorgeous red color intact (with regular future applications). They had started with a small bottle of tung oil from our local hardware store before Donovan found the oil mix below, which he ordered online.
In addition to oiling and installing the juniper trim, Ed and Walter fastened battens to the Gutex siding. The battens provide a structure onto which the siding will be nailed and also create the rain screen, which is the key to making the Gutex weather board work in this context. These strips of wood create channels for any water that gets behind the siding to run down the wall and have a chance to evaporate. The battens were cut from the scrap boards left over from the juniper trees that were milled for the siding. This conserves resources and puts to use the advantages of red cedar that make it a great choice for exteriors: it's a stable wood, with insect- and water-resistant properties.
On the south side of the house, where the siding will be metal, there are two layers of strapping attached in opposite directions, as per the usual.
But on the north side, where there will be shingles and lap siding and less room to work with to stay within the legal road-worthy width, the carpenters created vertical channels with a router in the horizontally attached battens to allow for water and air flow, thus saving the space that a second layer of battens would add. (Every inch counts!)
Spoiler alert: the siding is almost finished! If you're not on The Farm to see it in person, you'll just have to wait for an update. 🙂 Thank you for your patience and support!
Here's an assortment of options Donovan has considered for the north side, drawn in SketchUp:
One note about the jack situation, as promised in a previous post. Donovan got a bruised chest from being under the trailer when the jack malfunctioned, which happened because he followed the visual cue on the box! Tiny House jack-ers, beware!

Email is one of the most basic, but depended on business technologies. It's been around for what seems like 100 years, and I know that I would be completely lost without it. I'll let you in on a big IT secret, though: email really isn't all that secure. To make it more secure companies need to use software scanners and filters that search for malicious content, images and spam. The only problem with that is that these solutions can be incredibly expensive. If you're in this boat – relax! Consider managed email security.
Managed email security is effectively outsourcing your email security processes to an IT partner. If you're a small or medium sized business, the thought of securing email can be daunting – especially if the staff and expertise to implement this just doesn't exist in your organization. That's where Royale Class Tech (an affiliate of The Royale Strategy Group) comes in.
We can work with you to establish security protocols and to secure your email. We do this by placing a filter in front of your email address. This filter scans each message sent to your email addresses or domains, looking for malicious software, images or even content that contains keywords that are proven to be unsafe. The remaining, safe, email gets sent on to your inbox.
We understand that while security is great, having an email intercepted from an important customer and not delivered can be painful. That's why we work with you to manage your blacklist (a list of words and/or email addresses that you never want to receive emails from) and your whitelist (a list of words and/or email addresses that you always want to receive emails from). We'll help you ensure that emails coming into your organization and going out of your business are secure and free of malicious content.
Why managed email security? There's many reasons why a company might use managed email security, but there are four really common reasons:
You might operate in an industry with strict email regulations.
Many industries, like healthcare, legal and financial industries, have strict government regulations regarding the security of communication. Companies have little or no choice – they must meet security regulations, or face heavy fines. A managed email security partner like Royale Class Tech (an affiliate of The Royale Strategy Group) can help you understand and comply with the regulations.
You might lack an in-house IT department.
You're probably not surprised to discover that the majority of small to medium sized businesses have a thinly-stretched IT staff – or they have none at all. In either case, you don't have the staff or the expertise to constantly monitor email security. By working with Royale Class Tech (an affiliate of The Royale Strategy Group), you can free up existing resources and allow the IT staff you do have to focus on other areas.
Standalone solutions are expensive.
Most businesses run on razor-thin margins. Implementing an off-the-shelf solution will take time and in many cases, a lot more money than the business is willing to spend. Because Royale Class Tech (an affiliate of The Royale Strategy Group) manages this service, the costs are predictable, and affordable.
You need a reliable system.
To keep up with the ever-changing landscape, you business needs to be certain that your email system is not only working, but will not suffer downtime related to malicious software or other content in emails. Because these emails are filtered before they get to your system, your business can see nearly 100% uptime of your email system.
Whether you work with The Royale Strategy Group or another IT partner for managed email security, you should look for a number of things:
The system should offer both spam and malware or virus scanning.
They should offer a Service Level Agreement (SLA) with a guarantee stating how secure their systems are. Ideally, no malicious content should make it through.
Do they offer the scanning and security of emails going both into and out of your business?
The security system should be adjustable to meet your specific needs.
The system should be able to scale with the changing needs of your business.
The system provider should have experience with the industry that you work in. This will increase security, while also going one step further and ensuring that the system is both secure and in compliance with regulatory standards, where required.

I like making corned beef and cabbage once a year and only once. It's often enough for me to eat it and still enjoy it. I found this recipe 3 years ago and it's been a St. Patrick's Day tradition ever since. This year I made mashed potatoes to go with it, and as always, served some spicy mustard alongside.
Slow-Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage
4 ½ lbs corned beef
2 onions, quartered
1 head cabbage, in small wedges
½ teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
2 cups water
Combine ingredients in slow cooker with cabbage on top. Cut meat to fit, if
necessary. Cover and cook on low 10-12 hours; high 6-7 hours or auto 6-8

Cosmos draws up pitch list for media account
Cosmos, the tour operator, is aiming to consolidate its media planning and buying into one agency, and has drawn up a five-strong pitch list for the &£1m account.
Cosmos uses two media agencies, Media Options for Tourama and Cosmosair divisions, and John Ayling & Associates on the Avro and Archers Direct divisions.
The pitch list for the account includes the incumbents, as well as Total Media, AMD Media, and Equinox Communications. The heads of marketing of each Cosmos brand will oversee the pitch.
The company says that the aim is to achieve economies of scale. It adds that while there are no plans to consolidate its advertising account, individual divisions may examine their arrangements shortly. Tourama's advertising is handled by Hemisphere; Cosmosair's by RPM3, Archers Direct by TSM, and Avro by Indigo.
RPM3 created its first work for Cosmos Holidays in January, using press and radio for a campaign featuring the strapline "Cos you can".
Cosmos is privately owned by the Globus Travel Group. Former managing director of JMC Holidays Terry Williamson was appointed Cosmos managing director in November, replacing Nigel Wright. Williamson joined Cosmos when he was made redundant as JMC managing director, after only seven weeks.

This is a very special interview for us to conduct, as we have known ThArt from way back when Utopia Playground was just an obscure idea and a Moleskine notepad full of code. He was one of the first to consistently upload his artistic creations to Utopia and is a very dear 'friend of the family' here at Utopia. ThArt is a digital artist whose style is very focused on minimalism, and building atmosphere through gentle textures and powdery, pastel backgrounds. This combined with the quite edgy centerpieces he chooses, often creates a dimension of tranquility and zen. Let's jump right on in to the interview to find out a bit more about ThArt.
Where and how did your journey into the arts begin?
For me, art has always been a main focus point, needless to say my subject choice in College reflected that to a certain degree. I studied Computer Games Development in College and found a sense of joy in creating visuals that people could interact with whether that be 3D or 2D.
Overtime I experimented with various digital photo manipulation techniques in order to create what I thought was a striking visual, using Photoshop as my tool of choice. Most of my early efforts where documented on my social media sites (Instagram @thart_ ). I gained a following among the art curators and support from those that believed in my vision this in turn inspired me to create more and dedicate myself to something that felt so natural to do.
How is your personality reflected in your work?
I believe I am a very open minded person, who isn't afraid to try or learn new things. I also believe most of my artwork mirrors that same stand point in a way that resonates with whoever views it and creates an opinion of it. My aim is to create bodies of work that can be identified by people from all walks of life, whether it be Sexuality, Religion & Race I aim to create a sense of ubiquity within all my pieces.
What influences have you taken to develop your style?
Over the years that I've been making art, I have taken time to understand other artists and their viewpoints on society and why they create the artwork they do. For me an influential artist who I believe isn't credited enough for the way modern illustrations look is Salvador Dali, you know. as a kid you'd flick through art books and point out these Creative illustrative illusions to your peers in amazement.
That feeling stayed with me into adult hood, I stayed fascinated with his attention to let's say… detail when creating visuals that looked so dreamlike, it was provocative at best and allowed those who looked at his work to imagine.
My style is almost a pastiche of his with a twist of digital photo manipulation, I guess a part of me the inner child if you will… never died and my own input in this world is to create moments in history that are Surreal because what's real anyways right?
What are the qualities or elements which distinguish your work as 'Th Art'?
The hardest thing about creating art I've found and being an artist is creating a style that distinguish you from others. For the most part my views on surrealism & minimalism hugely have an impact on the work I produce. I like to think my deep understanding on colour palettes and image proportions are what help me create fresh original digital pieces.
What is a dream project you have always wanted to work on?
Man… I've always wanted to work on something big…you know, something spectacular. I've had my eye on fashion for a while now and I believe that fashion is an expression or rather an art form that's implemented in a more physical and dare I say it… "Emotional" way.
I hope to do more collaboration projects with some of my generation's upcoming fashion designers, anyone who is local (or overseas) and dedicated to their craft, I want to hear from you! I believe we are the future and we have the power to shift it.
Can you take us through an average day?
Most of my day is pretty much centred on creating new visuals.
As a freelance artist I find myself doing commission work for clients, collaboration projects with people within my circle and some personal projects that involve me using the Adobe Creative Suite, and as of recent Cinema 4D to create 3D visuals.
To me Graphic design isn't just a job I do, it's also a hobby, a passion amongst other things like playing video games (which I have no time for these days sadly). I find purpose from creating.
For someone seeing one of your illustrations for the first time, what would you want them to take away from your work?
All I want people to do is think.
Thought is powerful, when you see my illustrations just think… What do you see? what do you feel ? And why do you feel that way? Through thought only then are we able to analyse our feelings, thoughts and ideas.
Did you study art?
No… However I wish I did.
If we had a peek into your iTunes library, what kind of music would we find?
Man when I say I listen to everything I mean I really do, my music library choice ranges from Migos, Lana Del Rey, A$AP Rocky, 67, Section Boys and even Majid Jordan. I allow myself to listen to such a wide spectrum of music as I value and appreciate all forms of poetry no matter what genre it is in. I'm sure there's a screenshot I can grab somewhere of my current iTunes library.
What can we expect from Th Art in 2017?
First of all I will be re-launching my website "THART.CO" late January 2017 with more content, so keep that in mind! In the meantime feel free to delve into my VSCO library which includes some of my best works and my earlier pieces.
I am also taking time to work with more graphic designers, fashion designers and musicians this year. I believe in collaborating to create better ideas.
The dictionary defines Utopia as an imaginary place or state in which everything is perfect. What is your own personal utopia?
Utopia for me is the understanding of your own thoughts and relating them to your day-to-day life. This understanding comes through acknowledging that Utopia is a Mind state. This imaginary place of ever-present perfection, encapsulates my personal ideology on the topic of hope towards perfection through imperfection. I believe Utopia is a mind-set that allows you to explore your creative abilities.

Pettrone 2015 Rosato Release
2 large cloves of garlic
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
1/2 lb Roquefort cheese
1 egg
1 T Worcestershire Sauce
1 t salt (go crazy and use a flavored salt)
1/2 t freshly ground black pepper
1 t Herbs de Provence
1 medium onion
2 T olive oil
6 burger buns
* Mince the cloves of garlic.
* Mix together in a large bowl the ground beef, Roquefort cheese and egg. I like to use my hands.
*Add minced garlic, Worcestershire, salt, pepper and Herbs de Provence and mix again with hands.
* Separate the meat mixture into 6 burger paddies, place on a dish. Add a couple of drops of Worcestershire to each prepared burger. Cover and let sit in the refrigerator for 2 hours or more.
* Slice the onion in rounds and sauté in 1 T olive oil until golden or grill.
* To cook, heat 1 T olive oil in the pan used to cook the onion and fry the burgers turning once.
Alternatively, grill the burgers turning once.
Lay a burger on a toasted bun, add sautéed onion, and layer on some delicious pickles from our house to yours.
Pour a glass of Pettrone Sangiovese, call your family to the dinner table, and enjoy!
* For the burgers, I use a ratio of about 1 part Roquefort, 3 parts ground beef.
* Having a party? Separate the burger mixture into 16 mini burgers and serve as sliders.
2012 Sangiovese Release
Rosato News
We are quite pleased with the response to our 2014 Rosato. As many of you have requested, we hope to annually release a rose´.
Several of you have asked how and what to serve with a rose´. I have happily experimented with a number of recipes and offer three (see attachment) tasty examples of foods which pair well with our Rosato. Of course, merely sipping the chilled Rosato is also a wonderful choice.
The rose´will continue to improve in the bottle well into next year and maintain its crisp, fresh qualities for at least two more with proper storage.
Coming in September is our excellent 2013 Sangiovese.
One Year Later
It was just a year ago that we replanted the vineyard with Sangiovese and Barbera vines. They have done quite well and are on their way to producing some great wines in a couple of years.
