text: VT's 20K Expansion: Investing for the Future Home / News / VT's 20K Expansion: Investing for the Future posted on 06/05/2017 in Architectural Doors Most of you are aware that we began an aggressive approach to shorten and "fix" our lead times to a 2-3 week target during the recession of 2008 and 2009. Over the past eight years, the team at VT has worked very hard to deliver a different philosophy on lead times than other manufacturers. In 2008, we started an aggressive series of capital investments, capacity projects and continuous improvement efforts that finished up last year giving us 50% more capacity. These efforts allowed us to fulfill our commitment to you of a 2-3 week lead time for eight years in a row. Last year we looked ahead, and seeing a very strong market in 2017 and beyond, we once again embarked on a large capital project. We have coined this project "20k" and it includes over $20 Million of investment in facilities, automated equipment and people to keep up with demand and our fixed lead time strategy. This large project will take our capacity up substantially but it won't be in place until early 2018. We are experiencing a very strong start to 2017 and the volume of new orders in the past ten weeks has been well over our current maximum capacity. While the front office and manufacturing operations are running very efficiently, we are truly running above capacity. This is a better problem to deal with than the alternative, but a challenge none the less! The stronger than planned volume has caused us to push lead times for the first time in many years. In fact, we have reinstated a weekly lead time sheet, something we discontinued two years ago to be consistent with our fixed lead times strategy. Until our 20K project is completed we want to ensure that we are communicating our lead time status weekly, and as openly as possible. After eight years of lead time performance, our team takes it very personally to be publishing longer lead times than what our customers and friends have come to expect. I felt that it was important to get a communication to you to assure you that VT is committed to our strategy of being the fastest and most consistent door company in the industry. Please find attached pictures of our capacity project below for your review. We will continue to work hard to earn your business day in and day out! Sincerely, Jason Farver Senior Vice President, Architectural Wood Door Division

To sell good quality reliable products in the UK one must find and work with the top level manufacturers. Because of this we pay a little more and work with a limited number of suppliers. As a result we can be proud of what we offer, and have confidence that we will always meet our customers' expectations.
Most sit on top kayaks are made from LLDPE (Linear Low Density Polyethylene). There are kayaks made from other materials including HDPE, from a few specialist brands. Those who claim their lower-cost sit on kayaks are made from HDPE may be ill informed.
There are different grades of LLDPE plastic. The grade used in the manufacture of GoSea kayaks is one of the higher qualities available. It resists UV damage and has excellent memory properties. It costs us more and it is worth it.
The thickness of hull a hull's surface ranges from 3mm to 5.5mm. Where there are sharp angles it will be thicker, and flat surfaces will be about 3.5mm. The temperatures applied to the mould together with the speed and number of rotations during manufacture are critical. Achieving this requires skill and experience.
GoSea kayaks avoids the use of rivits. Metal fittings are marine grade and will not let you down.
A 3-meter kayak will float with 140kg on board but it may be unstable. Our weight limits are realistic and have been fully tested.
There are three categories of sit-on kayaks:
Single, Two Person or Tandem, and Two Plus One.
Tandem and 2+1 kayaks are very versatile because they can be happily paddled with 1, 2 or 2 adults plus a small child or even the dog! Tandems have three seating positions front, middle and back. So if you are paddling solo, you can sit in the middle seat giving good sideways balance. Tandem kayaks actually paddle very well with one person, providing plenty of glide due to their length and buoyancy. Getting a tandem on and off the car roof rack and down to the water is however, far more difficult than handling a single kayak.
The maximum user weight shown on all our listings and on our comparison chart is a guide to help you choose the right kayak. It will show you the maximum load the kayak can take, including the weight of yourself and any kit you carry. The closer you get to the recommended maximum, the lower the kayak will sit in the water. This will affect stability, manoeuvrability and glide. The height of a person particularly the length from the waist upwards, also plays a part in stability, as this height affects the centre of gravity of the kayak.
Someone who is experienced, has good balance in a kayak and is confident on the water will be less affected by any reduction in stability due to the kayak sitting lower in the water.
To summarise, if you are getting close to the maximum weight, are tall and are new to kayaking, you will need a larger, more buoyant kayak.
Rivers - Rivers come in many forms. They can be calm and flat, rough, fast, slow, narrow, wide, deep, shallow and many combinations of these. As a general rule, sit on top kayaks are excellent for slower, calm rivers and canals. If you want to get into white water kayaking but are new to the sport, you should consider getting in touch with a local kayak club who can usually offer some training and advice. Whatever type of river you are on, you should remember that water changes its characteristics constantly, both on top and underneath the surface, so always wear a kayaking helmet, buoyancy aid (PFD) and use a paddle leash.
Lakes - Lakes usually mean you will be travelling some distance, so a kayak with good glide and comfort will be important. Remember you will quite often be further away from dry land than when kayaking on either the sea or a river. It may look calm and peaceful, but you could be far away from effective help, so always wear a buoyancy aid (PFD) and use a paddle leash.
The Sea - There is a very important difference between sheltered, inshore sea kayaking and going offshore. Kayaking in sheltered waters is a great way to gain experience and have lots of fun. Sit On Top kayaks are far better suited to inshore waters than offshore. Kayaking offshore should not be undertaken without specific training, local knowledge and the right equipment. Again always wear a buoyancy aid (PFD) and use a paddle leash.
Surf kayaking - Many of our kayaks perform fantastically well in the surf and provide lots of fun. Manoeuvrability is a big consideration in the surf as you need to react quickly to a constantly changing environment to remain upright as long as possible! Stability is also very important, as kayaking in the surf is by far the easiest way of ending up in the water. Always wear a helmet intended for kayaking, a buoyancy aid (PFD) and use a paddle leash when surfing.
Touring - If you are travelling a long distance you will need a kayak which has plenty of room and capacity to carry the extra kit you will want to take. It will also need to have excellent glide, so you will use as little paddling energy as you can, to travel as far as possible. Big, long kayaks can be tiring to get on and off the roof of the car and down to the water if you are only going for a series of quick paddles. However, if you are keen to do some miles, then a big kayak with plenty of room is the best option.
Fishing - Stability and space for your gear are the two main features you need in a fishing kayak. Most of our kayaks will be fine to do a spot of fishing if you attach a rod holder, but if you are serious about fishing from your kayak and this will be its main use, then you should go for one of the bigger dedicated models. Many people go for tandem kayaks for fishing as they offer a great amount of cockpit room for your kit and catch if you are paddling solo.
Glide and tracking - This is a very important feature in a kayak if you are going on longer trips along the rivers, creeks and estuaries. Good tracking (straight line pointing) and glide (travelling with momentum) means you use much less energy paddling. Usually, the longer the kayak, the better it will travel in a straight line. There are however exceptions to this rule and hull design can play a big part in how well a kayak tracks and glides.
Manoeuvrability - A big consideration if you are intending to use the kayak in the surf. Usually, the shorter the kayak, the more easily it will turn. Smaller adults and juniors may find the longer kayaks difficult to turn - this can become very tiring. The shape and design of the hull will also play a big part in a kayak's ability to turn quickly and easily.
Stability - The stability of a kayak is based on a range of design and load factors and is very important for some activities such as fishing, or for people who are not fully confident on the water. Usually the wider the kayak, the more stable it will be. Whilst this is generally true, certain hull designs have excellent stabilising features whilst remaining relatively narrow. Stability can also be seriously affected by the user's weight and height, so getting the correct size of kayak for you is important -particularly if you are new to kayaking. Please check the recommended loads against your own weight.

Hello my loves, today I thought I would share with you my latest beauty love! I've had this highlighting palette for about a month now and I reach for it every single day. I swear Makeup Revolution are just slaying the game lately.
When I saw this beauty in my local Superdrug I literally couldn't just leave it there, it needed to come home with me and take pride of place on my dressing table! For £10 I absolutely could not resist. In my opinion, £10 is a pretty incredible price considering you're getting 8 different highlighters that are of amazing quality, tbh. With the price in mind the packaging itself is obviously not too glam, it's Makeup Rev's standard black plastic packaging with a transparent lid which is perfectly acceptable to me.
As you can probably tell from the photos there are a few shades I use more than others and a couple I haven't touched at all.The only reason I haven't touched them is because I am a literal ghost and would look absolutely ridiculous if I tried to highlight with them but it just adds more versatility for people with a darker skin tone than myself which is pretty much everybody… The shades I use (and love) the most are the light pink shade (second left on the top row) and the lightest gold/champage shade (third left on the bottom row). These shades are both absolute knockouts IMO, they can be worn subtly if you're going for a more natural look or you can go all out and be blinding people with your sharply highlighted cheek bones. The latter tends to be my preferred look…
(top row L-R)
(bottom row L-R)
If you are a fellow pale person like myself then you could still make use of the darker shades by using them as an eyeshadow which I have since tried since taking the photos for this post and it does work like a dream and have used the deep pink shade very lightly over my blush to add a little extra glow and I'm really happy with the results of this too.
All of the shades are super pigmented and feel like you're running your hand through a tub of butter, in a good way – might I add, and have absolutely no grainy feel to them whatsoever. This quality is exactly what I would expect of a Makeup Revolution highlighter, especially after trying their 'Vivid Baked' range which are pretty damn good too.
I definitely could not recommend this palette enough!
Have you tried this palette? What's your favourite highlighter?
Until next time I'm back off down the rabbit hole.

Me too Jean!
Thanks for helping a girl out while she's on the road. I hope you guys will take a minute and click on over to the Backyard Bungalow. She's got a lot of candy for the eye.
Make something wonderful today!
This is a very cool idea, Jean! And Karen...I love the new masthead! It looks great.
Great idea Jean - we need one of those, we're constantly losing our phones so if only for the reason that we would know where they are - that they'd be charged would be a bonus!!!
If you haven't had the chance to poke around Jeans blog, do it. She has some great stuff and makes cool signs.
I love this idea! Cords make me crazy and having all of them hidden in such a pretty way is just brilliant! What a great use for this piece and you sure did a great job of cuting it up a little! Nice project Jean!
Lovely! Also, love the new look, Karen! and happy belated birthday! Hope you had lots of cake.
Great project, Jean! Cute and practical. Can't beat that! I love your new look, Karen, and I take it I missed your birthday and the cake! Sorry on both counts. Hope it was a good one!
I love this project, Jean!
Wish I could come play in your store- it looks wonderful.
Love it! It is such a great idea and it looks great!
LOVE this, Jean! Great job :)
Hi, Jean
I just love the store. It's beautiful and I am drooling over those chairs. LOL
I just bought that very stencil. Now I simply MUST find that metal bread box to transform. I love this project.

An Interview with Elizabeth Noble
Tell us a little about yourself!
Elizabeth Noble started telling stories before she actually knew how to write, and her family was very happy when she learned to put words on a page. Those words turned into fan fiction that turned into a genuine love of M/M romance fiction. Being able to share her works with Dreamspinner is really a dream come true. She has a real love for a good mystery complete with murder and twisty plots as well as all things sci-fi, futuristic, and supernatural and a bit of an unnatural interest in a super-volcano in Wyoming.
Elizabeth has three grown children and is now happily owned by an adorable mixed breed canine princess named Rosie, and two cats, Murphy and Yeti. She lives in her native northeast Ohio, the perfect place for gardening, winter and summer sports (go Tribe!). When she's not writing she's working as a veterinary nurse, so don't be surprised to see her men with a pet or three who are a very big part of their lives.
Two of Elizabeth's books have received Honorable Mentions in the Rainbow Awards.

In Thirty Things, Nate and Finn check of a list of 30 things to do before Finn turns 30. What would be on your list?
LOL, well first of all I'm a few years beyond 30 but I do have some things I'd like to do.
I'd love to go to the Grand Canyon.
I'd really like to go into space, maybe Mars.
And I'd like to go to either the Arctic or Antarctic and visit the astronomical observatories there.
Tell us about something you've already checked off your list. Was it everything you thought it would be?
I own a house, which is great.
Becoming a published author was something I've wanted to do as far back as I could remember. It's different than I thought, but in a good way, it's better and I love it.
While traveling the country, Finn and Nate visit some amazing places. Where have you been that has stuck with you?
I loved Houston, Tx and the Kentucky Horse Park.
If you could only do one of the things on your list, which would it be?
Probably go to the Grand Canyon, which is a more realistic goal.
What items would be on your writing bucket list?
Hmmm...maybe write for a TV show.
Which books are on your TBR Bucket List?
Shira Anthony's Mermen of Ea series.
Elizabeth has a new book out! It was released for Dreamspinner Press on April 1st, but is available for pre-order now. It's Book 3 in the Circles series, and it's called Jewel Cave.
Circles: Book Three
Through ten wonderful years Griff Diamond and Clint Bishop weathered good times and bad together. Lately they haven't spent as much time together as they'd like, and their physical relationship is suffering. Then Clint loses his job at the steel mill. Instead of worrying, he sees it as an opportunity to lean on his steady partner, start his writing career, and rekindle the passion they've lost.
But a friendly relationship with another author turns to obsession, putting Clint's life in danger. Taken against his will to the Jewel Cave system in South Dakota, Clint must rely on the skills he's learned from Griff to survive.
Fearing the worst, Griff tracks Clint across the country. As a US Marshal, Griff's always been the man who keeps everyone safe, but he doesn't know how he and Clint will survive this.

General Description and Program Goals
The MA in Theology (MAT) degree is a two-year graduate theological program covering a range of biblical theology. The MAT program provides a strong biblical foundation for Christians living out their faith in any setting. This program concentrates on the studies of the Bible and will help students have the right theology, faith, and biblical world view.
This program is designed primarily for devoted lay people who desire training to serve as a Bible teaching leader. They will be able to cultivate their personal calling from God in order to serve their church or parachurch organization with the word of God.
This program is also recommended for pastors and missionaries (along with their spouses) who are already working in the field. They will be able to redefine the theological knowledge acquired before and systematize the contents of the Bible in new viewpoints.
The degree program requires 48 semester credits. As many as 24 semester credits of graduate work may be transferred from another institution.
The goal of the Master of Arts in Theology program is to prepare individuals for being a 'committed Bible teacher' who can handle accurately the word of truth (2Tim 2:15).
Learning Outcomes
Upon completing this degree, students will be able to:
- Comprehend fully the word of God when reading the Bible in its entirety (Comprehensive Reading).
- Identify historical, cultural, literal and canonical knowledge of each book from the Bible (Interpretation).
- Demonstrate personal and spiritual maturity expressed in devotion to God, the truth, and to others (Application).
- Demonstrate a systematic understanding of the whole Bible with an overall theological perception (Integration).
- Become a 'committed Bible teacher' who can handle accurately the word of truth (Professional Serving).
Graduation Requirements
To graduate from the Master of Arts in Theology program the student is required to have completed a minimum of 48 semester credits with a 2.5 GPA or above. At least 24 credits must be completed at World Mission University.
Course Titles and Level
All courses at the Masters level are numbered 500 – 699. Course descriptions are provided in this catalog.

You might think it is easier to separate than work through problems with your partner, but the discord you are both suffering can also be a great place to learn about yourselves and your relationship, and from there, to improve your lives.
Often relief can be found by looking back to the beginning of the relationship and at your individual histories before that, to see the roots of the current problem.
What originally attracted you to each other?
How did you 'fit' yourselves around each other, and why is this now not working for you?
How can you reach a new understanding and find a way to move forward?
I can help you untangle and understand how long-held individual needs and behaviours which may have originally drawn you together, could cause your current disharmony. Learn also, how to improve communication with each other in the future, by finding ways to truly listen and feel heard by each other.

History of St John's Church
In 1167 the building of Keynsham Abbey was begun. Remains of this abbey can be seen today. About one hundred years later a church was built for the people in the town. The chancel of St John's Church dates from the thirteenth century. After the break with Rome, the dissolution of the monasteries took place and Keynsham Abbey was dissolved in 1539. So St John's Church became a protestant church. In the fifteenth century there was a spire on the end of the north aisle. During a great storm in 1632 the tower collapsed and a new west end tower was not completed until the 1650s. The church went into a period of decline and the building was in a bad state. It was restored during the nineteenth century. Various restorations have taken place since then, culminating in a huge restoration during the 1990s.
St John's today is a very beautiful building and we thank God for all those people who have contributed to this beauty over the centuries. Many people find God's presence, solace, comfort and renewal here.
For a full history of the church, the rectory and the church hall and past incumbents, please see the book 'St John the Baptist, Keynsham. A history of the church' written by Elizabeth White, a local historian (details from the Parish Office).

Earlier this week in the last video of the class Lilla suggested we look back on the work done for the class and take note of what we've learned. Perhaps compare assignments between the first and fifth week and see the progress we've made. "Do this the first week right after the class while things are still fresh." No kidding! It's barely four days now since this video and the class is fading in a beautiful cloudy mist, replaced by ukulele practices and starting on Lilla's new Bootcamp assignment (more on that in the next post).
If it's not obvious by looking at these two images, here's what I learned:
- More elements in my illustrations: I enjoy modern styles and clear simple shapes without a lot of details and in my mind that usually means keeping things to a minimum. As the weeks went by I risked adding more and more, often nervous that the result would not reflect my style, but to my surprise this last piece is still very much me.
- Bolder in my color choices: before this class I tended to be in favor of muted colors. Still in my last piece I started out with a muted palette, then pushed beyond my comfort zone with brighter greens and pink. Just compare the flamingos between the two design.
- Stay myself with trends: I love trends when it comes to fashion, but in my personal art I don't pay too much attention and just follow what I like. If anything I prefer to stay away from what everyone else does. In this class we all had the same on trend assignments yet there were so many different interpretations! This kind of exposure to a great number of artists is unique and I've grown and reaffirmed my style because of it.
- More textures and better image quality: In the first week I had trouble figuring out how to mix pixels and vectors, and the best way to make my drawings digital. The icons in my fabric piece came out a bit blurry and the edges were not so clean. Over the weeks I came up with a few tricks and improved my workflow. I also learned to incorporate more textures and experiment creating my own.
- Sketch more: as the week went by I produced more sketches for each assignment. I still use a lot of tracing paper to refine my drawings but with the class I've been using my sketchbooks more. I hope to continue and become this person who carries them all the time.
- More comfortable sharing my work and words: the class comes a wonderfully supportive group and it's made me more brave sharing work in progress and reaching out for feedback. I write more blog posts. Also on social networks, I'm a lot more inclined to interact and leave comments than I was before.
Yay for all this progress! But I noticed also a bunch of things I need to improve. The main one is, I need to work smarter and take less time on my assignments, because I lost a lot of sleep during these past weeks!
In order to work smarter, and less hard, here's what I plan to do:
- Improve my workflow with photoshop and illustrator by taking this class from skillshare. I'm hoping it will also give tips on texture making.
- Set a limit to how much time I spend on my projects. Because I've mostly done art on my free time, I've been used to not restrain hours on my creative projects. It got a little out of control with this class! And I'm not even talking about Facebook ;).
- Better balance work and life. With my jobs I have always done this pretty well, but with personal projects it's easy to get consumed and stop living. If you have any good tips, let's hear them
As for which market I want to focus on, I guess I'm inclined towards Bolt Fabric. Mainly because now I'm drawn to making a bunch of patterns with what I drew in the past weeks and put them on Spoonflower. But I also want to rework my pouch from the Gift Market, and maybe make a Wall Art piece out of cactus drawings. Among a few other things ;). Class is over, but I need to get cracking!

London Underground 1915 Stock

|London Underground 1915 St

|Stock type

|London transport portal
Twenty-four 1915 Tube Stock driving motor cars were built by Brush for the Central London Railway's extension from Wood Lane to Ealing Broadway. No trailer cars were built as part of the stock.
The extension was not completed until 1917 and operation did not start until 1920 so the cars were initially transferred to the Bakerloo tube for use on the Watford extension, for which they were fitted with contact shoes for the 4th rail.
Once returned to the Central, cars were not compatible with the 1903 tube stock. Because of this the different stock were given nicknames, the 1915 stock became known as the 'Ealing Stock' while the 1903 stock became known as 'Tunnel Stock' or 'Local Stock'. As no trailer cars had been built several 1900 stock trailers were modified to run with them.

The Scope
The power of a successful grassroots marketing effort is striking. Grassroots momentum is getting consumers and influencers in your key markets to care so much about what you are doing that they become your cheerleaders and most vocal supporters.

My '68 M715 Build Progress Page
Okay, so I received my truck from Denver yesterday. I bought it sight-unseen, except for an inspection. I knew there were going to be some issues going into this...but oh brother!
I have decided to share my build process with the community, in the assumption that someone will benefit from it. This thread in Open Discussion is where I post general photos and general info. If I have specific or technical questions, I will post in the "modified tech" section, because my truck is already modified significantly.
For starters, it boasts a Chevy 250 inline 6 with a chevy transmission (I believe), but a stock transfer case. There is no PTO. I believe it was an Air Force truck from somebody's collection, so I observe differences between it and the Army and Marine Corps versions. I wish it had a PTO and winch, but since I am going to use the truck for my mining activities, I don't mind doing some mods. That's right...I am going to make this truck do the work it was designed to do...carry a payload.
The engine runs and the transmission and transfer case work fine. The truck drives great, so I am thinking the drive-train is in good shape. (That was important for me to purchase it). There is some blue smoke from the exhaust (rich? needs a tune, I'm sure). The frame is rusted but no holes...just surface rust. That said, the rust needs to be abated and the rivets strengthened before it goes to the claims for rugged special ops.
The engine appears to be leaking oil somewhere at the pan gasket, or the oil dip stick access tube... maybe. The transmission pan has quite a bit of fresh oil on it (I hope it isn't the rear main engine seal), the oil is near the the drain plug. The transfer case seems to have fresh gear oil coming from one (or more) of the front facing shaft seals. I need to get under there and clean up so I can tell what's going on. I am thinking new transfer case gaskets at the least...maybe a bearing kit too. $ouch$
The stock NDT tires are dry rotted (all 5 of them), so I bought new 900x16 tires (directional Power King Super Traction LT) and I need to teach myself about split rim tire mounting and balancing (yep, I know, "Danger Will Robinson") and I need to check out the brake system for sure. The inside front wheels are semi-wet with oil and grime, so I suspect the wheel cylinders need to be replaced or rebuilt. Uh..Yeah...stopping is important.
Priority 1: Wheels, tires and brakes.
Photos of the "starting state" of the Truck to be posted here within the next few days.
I feel like there's something wrong with me...I am completely obsessed with this project...I'd rather fix this truck than eat... or sleep...or go to work...
My wife thinks I am crazy...mining claims and now this?

Whoa, that looks like a great start.

Now for the low down on the condition of this truck...um...it's rough.
The Chevy 250 inline 6:
The transmission is a T98-1Z. The shift linkage has been modified where bell housing meets transmission:
The transfer case. Years of caked on grease and dirt. I cleaned it off tonight and then I will drive it around the block a few times this weekend to see if there are leaks at the seals or bearings:
Engine oil pan gasket leak (I think). There also appears to be oil leaking from the head gasket. (Geeze, I hope not). The threaded oil pan drain plug looks like it has a HeliCoil in it. Maybe that's what's leaking?
Does anyone know what this item is (img below)? It was in the long bed-width storage area (for a jack and other tools I suppose) just behind the cab:
One last question: How can I tell what sub model of transfer case I have? NP200, 201, 205...etc?

That is not too rough. Better than 95% of the M715s out there! I don't know about the transfer case verification but it looks original and so does the T98. So I would say it has to be a NP200.

NP 200 case in the stock OD.
Is that six the one they called the Babbitt Beater?
Tires and Rims
In keeping with my plan, I set put to change the tires on the Jeep. Wow.
First, we couldn't break the bead. The tire has been on that rim for some long it must have melted or fused to the rim. We tried everything, including a high Lift jack...nothing worked. That's when we broke out the sawz-all and the hand held grinder. I ruined the tube and the liners on two wheels. I wanted to keep them as spares. Next time we are going to try my 20 ton press. Those rings just will not come off until the bead is broken and pushed down about 2".
Then, the rings were absolutely rusted to the rims. WD-40, multiple pry bars and some serious gumption finally got the rings off. I had to grind the rims with a 41/2" grinding wheel, then I had to wire-brush the rest of the rust off. I bought some rust treatment, and used that, then Preps-all (Dupont solvent) to prep for paint, then I put on two coats of galvanizing rust inhibitor paint, and then 2 coats of flat black. Then we put it back together. One tire per weekend... it can only get easier and faster from here!
Finally, the new tire! (*whew)

Babbitt is the metal bearing shells are made of, and I think the engine I was referring to was the one used in CCKW & 7107 army trucks, and probably many other vehicles of that time period.

Today we released audiorecorderfield.module, a module that enables users to record audio contents directly from the browser, with a simple click of the mouse (http://www.drupal.org/project/audiorecorderfield/).
It has been about 5 years since I started asking for that sort of capability in Drupal sites. At that time, I was working with underserved youth who did not have regular access to computers and, in many cases, were semi-literate. I knew they had a lot to say and would love to express their stories online. However, to expect them to do so in writing was too much.

Dark spots or hyperpigmentation can mar a complexion. They come in many forms and shades from sun spots and melasma to moles.
What is causing your discoloration? It could be advancing age, your hormonal activity, sun exposure and/or skin irritation.
According to Beverly Hills dermatologist Sameer Bashey, "In light-skinned individuals, sun damage is the usual culprit, while in darker-skinned people, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) or melasma (brown to gray-brown patches on the face) is often the cause. PIH can occur with acne, but it also can result from psoriasis, a burn, an injury or a skin rejuvenation treatment."
Your best defense from sun spots is judicious use of sunscreen such as Sunscreen + Primer SPF 30, Sun Spray SPF 50 or Daily Sheer Broad-Spectrum SPF 50.
If you already have dark spots, see your dermatologist. There are more options today than ever before to lighten dark spots, and they don't all contain Hydroquinone. For example, ZO® Non-Hydroquinone Hyperpigmentation System is a multi-product, skin therapy system designed for the treatment of hyperpigmentation without the use of hydroquinone.
The kit includes Retinol Skin Brightener 1%, Daily Power Defense, Wrinkle + Texture Repair and Brightalive Skin Brightener. When used correctly, Hydroquinone is both safe and effective and remains the gold standard. ZO® Multi-Therapy Rx Hydroquinone System is an all-encompassing system formulated to help treat hyperpigmentation, severe texture damage, sun damage and general skin health restoration. It is comprised of Melamin™ Skin Bleaching & Correcting Crème, Exfoliation Accelerator, 10% Concentration, Melamix™ Skin Lightener & Blending Crème and Daily Power Defense.
Both of these systems contain retinol (an over-the-counter form of vitamin A) which is also highly effective for dark spots.
Sometimes, your dermatologist may need to bring in the bigger guns — superficial chemical peels containing salicylic acid and glycolic acid, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) devices and Q-switched lasers can be used alone or in combination with topicals in light-skinned individuals with dark spots. In darker skin types, microdermabrasion, chemical peels and non-ablative fractionated lasers or very low-level Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers may help, when used with caution by a pigment specialist.
You don't have to live with dark spots anymore. Depending on the cause, there are multiple treatments to try and combine to lighten the spots and improve your complexion. The first step is to schedule an appointment with a ZO physician near you https://zoskinhealth.com/zo-near-you

I unexpectedly found my eyes 'sweating' as I first saw my Twitter feed this morning. First shock. Deep breaths. Then disbelief. Then numbness. Then fighting back tears. Stepping onto the train in a daze. Lost for words. David Bowie is dead.
Tributes pour in from across the world to a man, an artist, who touched so many people's lives. From my earliest teens until now, so many life memories are etched with his music, his imagery, his artistry. Words, often veiled in mystery, expressing hopes, fears, dreams – life.
I didn't know Bowie personally. Yet for those who loved his gift to the world, his astonishing talent, he became woven intimately into the fabric of our lives. His death is a sharp tearing of the fabric, a feeling that something of our own lives has died with him.
So public and personal grief touch here, hand in hand. This evening, this day, we mourn the loss of an extraordinary man. I know: tomorrow the news and our lives will move onto different stories. Yet, in our hearts, something - somehow - will have changed.

After an interesting weekend I sat to embrace the world and see what Monday morning had to offer - a quick browse on FB and the first post I saw was yours - a picture of David Bowie and a comment of 'so sad'...... I was thrust into the reality of the week in a disbelieving kinda way.... was Nick really saying the unspeakable. A quick switch to BEEB news app - seemed the amazing crateful artistic and inspirational David Bowie had indeed passed away. Then all my phone lines and networks died for about 2 days. Despite this; there were snippets of information coming through via the radio..... And the one thing that resonated with me is how David Bowie was the Master of Change - completely reengineering himself again and again and again - never standing still. And so I ended Monday with a lingering question "How still am I"?
Nick Wright
14/1/2016 01:41:29 pm
Hi Karen. Yes, Bowie continually reinvented himself and his public image over the years. 'How still am I?' is a profound question. I notice that I really liked Bowie's image and music from some eras but less so from other eras. That speaks to me about responsiveness to change (e.g. did I resist the change if it didn't fit with what I had liked previously?) and also about consistency (e.g. staying with what matters to me) in the midst of change. Thanks again for sharing your personal reflections. Warm good wishes. Nick
Robert Wright
18/1/2016 02:09:48 am
Yes so sad ... but focus on what he gave to the world. Interview with him in 1999 on TV last night (Jeremy Paxman - Newsnight), well worth watching if you can.
Nick Wright
18/1/2016 02:10:29 am
Yes, I agree Rob. Still remember vividly that evening that you played me that Tina Turner concert and that moment when Bowie appeared on stage as a mystery guest. Electrifying!! Btw, snowing here today. :)

The cast of the most ambitious stage musical in Australian history is being put through its paces before an empty house in Sydney's Theatre Royal. They're singing, they're dancing, they're acting. They're even dropping from the ceiling through clear plastic tubes that will, with the aid of some high-tech lighting and video wizardry from Germany, come to represent the tangled vines of Skull Island.
Richard Piper is the only big stage name among them, but the true star of the show is nowhere to be found. Through three weeks of workshops, the giant gorilla at the heart of the story has been the elephant in the room.
King Kong is, at this moment, almost 900 kilometres away, in pieces in the West Melbourne workshop of the Creature Technology Company, the animatronics arm of Global Creatures, the producer of the show that bears his name.
The sets, meanwhile, are on the other side of the world, being built in New York. The music is coming from all corners of the globe - from Sarah McLachlan in Canada, electronic duo Justice in France, Massive Attack's Robert del Naja in Britain and from the Avalanches in Melbourne - with Sydney-based Marius de Vries, Baz Luhrmann's musical director on Moulin Rouge and Romeo+Juliet, pulling it all together.
The book is by Los Angeles-based film and theatre writer-director Craig Lucas. King Kong, he insists, is a rich myth about a clash of civilisations, power, racism and the death of gods, and it bears reinvention. ''You don't adapt something if you want to leave it alone,'' he says. ''I have this really corny old-school belief that people go to the theatre to learn how to live their life better. They're really looking to go, 'Oh, that's a good way to face tragedy; that's a good way to meet a girl.'''
The director is a dynamic 35-year-old American, Daniel Kramer, who made his name with minimalist theatre and opera in London and continental Europe.
The ambition of King Kong is anything but minimalist. It will set up camp in the Regent Theatre in Melbourne, its only Australian home, in January, five months before its opening in June, 2013 (typically, a show bumps in just two or three weeks before it opens).
The Victorian state government is part-funding the Melbourne run in the hope it will attract interstate and international visitors. But Global has at least one eye elsewhere, on the biggest prize of all.
''Australia is just a blip,'' says the boss of the Creature Technology Company, Sonny Tilders. ''It's an out-of-town trial and an exciting one, but commercially…''
''I would love it if we could end up with a flagship production of this in Germany, Japan, New York,'' says the chief executive of Global Creatures, Carmen Pavlovic.
The interest from New York is ''huge'', she says. ''It's not about some illusion or dream of putting a show on Broadway. Putting it on in New York is about the fact that it's the perfect story to tell in New York.''
Global's chief investor Gerry Ryan is more focused on the financial reasons for a Broadway bow than the artistic rationalisations. ''Even though we're an Australian company, we have to build product internationally, because you just can't justify [doing it solely for the local market],'' says the businessman behind Jayco caravans and Australia's first Tour de France cycling team, Orica-GreenEdge.
We're really conscious of the risk of this turning into another Spider-Man.
With Walking with Dinosaurs, the company showed it knew how to build a mass-market arena show that has kept the cash registers ringing since 2007. With How to Train Your Dragon, it proved it could build a show to someone else's specifications (in this case, DreamWorks). But with King Kong, it is in new territory - and the risk, and potentially the reward, is all its own.
In the hallways and dressing rooms of the Theatre Royal, the name Macbeth has been replaced with a new one - Spider-Man, the most expensive and trouble-plagued production in Broadway history.
''We're really conscious of the risk of this turning into another Spider-Man," Pavlovic says. ''But we're doing everything we can to make sure it won't be.''
After many delays, Spider-Man - with music from U2's Bono and the Edge - opened in November 2010. By April the following year, it was still in previews, original director Julie Taymor (who created The Lion King for the stage) was gone, a stuntman had seriously injured himself in a fall and the show was undergoing a major rewrite. The reviews were savage.
Spider-Man is believed to have cost $75 million to stage (typically, a new show on Broadway costs between $10 million and $15 million). It is making money, but will need to play for at least five years to recoup the investment. Few productions last longer than two.
No one will say how much King Kong is costing - at least not officially. ''That's the $64 million question,'' Pavlovic says, before checking herself. ''No, it's not $64 million, nowhere near it. I really must stop using euphemisms.''
She does concede, though, that its start-up costs will be ''a multiple'' of the usual costs of mounting a show in Australia. (An unconfirmed figure of $30 million has been cited elsewhere.)
The people who worked on the sets and technology of Spider-Man are also working on King Kong. ''They're the best in the business,'' Kramer says. ''And if the show ever goes to New York, it's much better to have a company that has a large garage next door.''
Spider-Man was rushed into the theatre, he says, before the production's technical difficulties had been ironed out. This is why King Kong will bump in to the Regent so early. Still, it will be a challenge. Kramer will start his days rehearsing the actors in the Regent, then hop in a car and drive to a double warehouse space, where he will rehearse the dancers and acrobats in one room and King Kong's movements in another.
''I can't guarantee anyone that I can have him ready on opening night because of the automation,'' Kramer says. ''But I can have everything ready around him.''
The journey to a stage-ready King Kong has been full of false starts and wrong turns. ''There was an early realistic version, a more sci-fi version, a Kong made entirely of rope,'' Tilders says in his office in West Melbourne, where printouts of digital renderings of the many Kongs still hang on the wall and scale models of various creatures litter the shelves.
They started, he says, with ''this almost default idea that Kong should be a complex animatronic creature'' and spent ages developing a motorised metallic arm that didn't knock actors flying across the stage. For a while, they imagined there would be two Kongs - the godlike creature of Skull Island, rendered as a giant string puppet, and the flesh-and-blood mortal Kong who comes crashing to Earth in Manhattan, envisaged as a hyper-realistic animatronic beast.
But just as the engineers had the mechanical arm working properly, it became clear Kong would, in fact, be better as a large-scale marionette - operated by a dozen on-stage puppeteers who have come to be known as ''the king's men''.
It was, Tilders says, ''a eureka moment'', but not so much for the team that had spent so long developing the animatronic arm. ''They took it pretty hard, actually,'' he says.
There is, perhaps, some solace to be found in the final version of Kong, a puppet with animatronics to drive his facial expressions and a complex system of hydraulics to breathe life into his chest and limbs. A meeting of two worlds, as it were, of the primitive and the modern. Kong has been assembled and he functions, but he is still a work in progress.
''We really want to make sure the script and the music stand up on their own,'' Pavlovic says. ''Because every time we see the puppet we get a bit dazed - 'Oh, isn't he great?' - and we don't want that to be a false sense of security for us.''
''This show has to work with nothing but an empty space,'' Kramer says. ''I want to create something that can last well beyond me, that high schools can do for the rest of time.
''This story is about something, in the same way that Evita or Cabaret or Oklahoma is about something. The human heart bleeding on stage. This story has that.''
Production designer Peter England says: ''King Kong on one hand is a B-grade horror movie and on the other it's a treatise on the ambitions and fears of humanity. The journey is a piece of entertainment, I hope, that rises to some level which is beyond spectacle.''
There seems to be a will for Kong to succeed, and not only from those directly involved in its creation. As one rival producer said recently: ''Nobody in the industry wants to see it fail. They're taking a huge risk, there's a lot at stake, and if it works, it will encourage others to try to develop things here, too.''
And if it doesn't work? ''I'll be crying in my corn flakes, and not just because of the money,'' Pavlovic says. ''It's the emotional investment as well. Working with something this ambitious, it's consuming, the workload is relentless and it's so challenging … The personal investment we all have in it - it would be devastating if it doesn't work.''
Would it be the end of Global Creatures? Not at all, says Ryan, who started this adventure with a $150,000 investment in a prototype dinosaur puppet in 2004.
''I only ever risk so much of the farm,'' he says. ''Always go in with a parachute.''
The show will go on, Ryan says, ''even if we have to set up a tent and have Kong as a sideshow somewhere''.
For a moment he sounds like Carl Denham, the fictional filmmaker who sets the Kong story in motion with his plans to capture the giant ape and bring him back to Manhattan for the delectation of a sensation-starved audience. And then Ryan breaks the spell: ''No, I'm just joking.''
Gorilla in our midst
1929 American flying ace, writer and filmmaker Merian C. Cooper has a dream in which a giant ape terrorises New York.
1932 A novelisation of Cooper's forthcoming film is released.
1933 Cooper's film features a stop-motion Kong and the archetypal blonde damsel in distress, Fay Wray, who spends the entire film screaming. In the ending that set the template, Kong is shot by fighter planes after scaling the Empire State Building with Ann Darrow (Wray).
1933 Cooper releases a sequel, The Son of Kong.
1962 Japanese studio Toho turns Kong into a mega-monster, 45 metres tall and capable of drawing power from the electricity grid, and sets him against a radioactive mutant dinosaur in King Kong vs. Godzilla.
1967 Toho releases a sequel, King Kong Escapes, in which Kong battles a mechanical version of himself.
1976 Jessica Lange makes a splash as the Ann Darrow character - renamed Dwan - in producer Dino De Laurentiis's highly sexualised version.
1981 Nintendo creates the video game character Donkey Kong. The film studio Universal, which has a dubious claim to ownership of the Kong character, sues for infringement of copyright but loses.
1986 A cheesy sequel from the De Laurentiis stable, Kong Lives, has Kong on life support for a decade after falling from the top of the World Trade Centre.
2005 Peter Jackson's version takes inspiration from the original but has a hyper-realistic giant ape, his actions portrayed by Andy Serkis and given furry form via CGI.
King Kong is at the Regent Theatre, Melbourne, from June next year. Tickets are on sale from Monday.

Workshops & Training
Nuclear workshops are a great way to share experience, learn and develop fresh ideas. In the nuclear sector it is vital to keep learning because nuclear technology rapidly advances, requiring professionals to both broaden and deepen their knowledge and also develop new skills.
Jackson Associates provides focused and highly effective intensive workshops and training courses to help international clients gain the understanding and expertise that they need. Accommodating and accessible, our nuclear workshops and training can be held wherever a client is located, in any part of the world.
Uniquely tailored to fit the background, expectations and specific needs of each client, our workshops and training courses involve lectures, practical case study examples, class exercises, group discussions and review work. The aim is always to convey a deep and lasting understanding of nuclear topics and to keep clients up to date with the latest global developments in nuclear energy. Where possible our workshop and training delegates also visit an operating nuclear facility in the host country.
Below are some examples of international workshops and training courses undertaken for clients.

When the aquarist obtained the desired fish for the display aquarium hopefully time was spent observing them. Just because fish are 'new' and in a dealer's sale tanks does not mean they are problem free. This isn't having a go at dealers at all; fish can have problems that don't become apparent sometimes for weeks. The point of purchase is the initial line of defence.
The aquarist should look for fish that have bright eyes, unblemished skin, clear fins and a rounded body. Any fish with blemishes or spots on the skin or fins is suspect, as are cloudy eyes. Most marine fish are active and visit all parts of the aquarium, so a fish that is skulking in a corner is also suspect. The breathing rate (watch the gill beat) should be normal, though this can be a little difficult as different fish have different rates. However, it is often fairly obvious if a fish has an elevated breathing rate. There could be a good reason for this, such as bullying and harassment with nothing actually wrong with the fish. Caution though is the order of the day. There isn't anything wrong in asking to see fish feed, particularly if the fish is a known or possible problem feeder. If feeding is a known potential problem this fish is not for the beginner.
Fish chosen should be compatible with each other and any that are already owned. Failure to choose such fish can lead to harassment causing stress. Obtaining fish unsuitable to the tank environment also causes stress, for example surgeon fish need plenty of swimming space. Stress could lead to disease.
It is assumed that the fish are properly and successfully introduced to the display aquarium and all is well. They all feed properly and get on with each other. Everything from this point on should be fine. Nowadays it is easy (compared to much earlier years) to maintain high quality seawater. A large number of aquarium fish do not encounter disease, probably the majority.
Besides maintaining the aquarium to the highest standards, it is the responsibility of the aquarist to keep a watch on the fish. This is easy as one of the greatest pleasures is simply observing beautiful fish and also perhaps a thriving coral reef. Seeing the fish isn't a chore. They need to be examined though, not just looked at, for a little while. Are they all present? If not, which is missing and how long before it re-appears? If it does, is it acting normally? If it doesn't, maybe it has died. Is there any ammonia present (mostly unlikely with modern bio filtration)?
Are the other fish acting normally? Do they have any marks or spots on the body or fins? Any cloudy eyes? Any increased breathing rates? Are they all feeding as usual? Is the swimming style of each fish normal or are any displaying unusual motion?
Taking the time to spot anything unusual, even though it may seem not much, is good husbandry. Treating some ailments, particularly in a reef aquarium, isn't easy. The earlier a potential problem is spotted the earlier a diagnosis can be attempted. Some problems are easy to diagnose, others not so.
A simple check as described when observing the aquarium is worthwhile and could under certain circumstances prevent a population of fish being wiped out. Not a pleasant thought!
It must be mentioned that sometimes a fish will scratch on a rock and the aquarist, particularly a beginner, may twitch with apprehension. Most fish occasionally rub a rock probably for the same reason humans scratch an itch sometimes. It doesn't necessarily indicate a health problem. Similarly, a mark may be seen on a fish's skin – this could be where the fish has caught a rock. A watch on that particular fish will often indicate that there isn't a problem.
Fish in our aquariums live in a tiny world compared to their wild home. For ongoing wellbeing they rely entirely on the aquarist. Maintenance and observation is a very small price for a living display of such beauty.

I Can Be Such a Brat
Why? I have a remarkably blessed life and yet today, I'm restless and anxious and grouchy and unable to focus. I have two major deadlines staring at me ,and I simply can't seem to motivate myself to do anything useful at all. Oh, it's not that I'm not getting any work done, I am, but I could be doing so much more. Plus, I have rolls and pies to make for Thursday at sister PJ's Thanksgiving celebration, and my house needs to be cleaned. One would think that if I couldn't focus on the paying gigs, I'd be doing something else useful. But nooooo…
You know what I'm thinking about? Furniture! I want to get rid of my coffee table. Seriously—that has been what's distracted me this afternoon. But hey, it's big, it's unwieldy, it's a hand-me-down from my neighbor, and I'm tired of it. It takes up too much room and makes my living room feel cramped. Would it be creepy to ask her if she wants it back? I probably should ask her before I just give it to Goodwill, right? She might actually have another home for it.
So, there it is. My level of productivity today has extended to thinking of ways to get rid of a damn coffee table. Sheesh. I'm a brat. Honestly, I can't believe I created a blog out of this morass of wasted time.
But, I'm still a thankful brat, so here goes: I'm grateful for
- My beta readers
- Ibuprofen
- The space heater in my office
- I have work and they're paying me
- The window in my office that looks out over our back yard and woods
See? Even a brat can sometimes be gracious…

A Quote from a Previous Student
We have had many different people pass their training. Here is a quick word from one chap who is now a fully qualified, level 2 football coach.
"I left the army with PTSD and found myself homeless and sleeping in my car. I had all my possessions in the car with me and I would go to the Whitechapel centre for a wash and something to eat. I joined the footy team at the Whitechapel, going to the Liverpool Homeless match days and began to make friends and move on with my life. The club put me through my coaching badges and now I am Level 2 qualified. I am now the main coach at the club and better still I'm not living in my car anymore."

Ian was joined by writer Leslie Klinger, one of the world's foremost experts on two major literary icons of the Victorian period, Dracula and Sherlock Holmes. Klinger touched on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective, particularly noting Holmes' habitual use of drugs (cocaine, morphine) to keep him stimulated between cases. Klinger also mentioned some upcoming movies about the crime fighting resident of 221B Baker Street, as well as the theory that Sherlock Holmes was actually a woman.
Klinger spoke about some of the unconsciously psycho-sexual aspects of Bram Stoker's Dracula, and how the image of the vampire has evolved in literature and popular culture over the ages. Originally vampires were hideous walking corpses that prowled the night, he explained, noting how this image changed when nineteenth-century writer John Polidori made the title character of "The Vampyre" a suave British nobleman. In stage plays of the 1920s vampires became even more attractive, and quite unlike the monster with halitosis, pointy ears and hairy palms from Stoker's work, Klinger continued.
Stoker's book is "carefully ambiguous" about the nature and activities of Dracula, Klinger said, pointing out that while Dracula does go after Lucy Westenra and Mina Harker, he does not actually kill anyone. Rather than a being a creature of pure evil, perhaps Dracula is merely misunderstood, he speculated. Klinger also discussed the symbolism of Dracula and the religious emblems that can ward off vampires, as well as discussed Jack the Ripper, theories about who he was, and his connections to the Dracula myth.
