Our clients purchased their home from their previous 2 bed flat and were expecting a new arrival, so we had a task on our hands to provide additional living and dining space.
The house was situated near the main high street and Chessington Station. The property comprised of a small dark kitchen and bathroom further beyond the existing outrigger and not suitable for modern family living.
The property also enjoyed one of the longest gardens on the street with enough space for future landscaping.
Kingston Council required that any extension to the property matching the existing style of the building. Our client benefitted from applying under the Prior Notification Application upto 6m extensions. The house itself is a narrow terrace property, therefore the extension would also be long and narrow.
KLC Architects also had to find the most effective way of ensuring the property is built in time until the arrival of their new born. Our client benefitted with our Project Management and site operations services keeping them fully informed and up-dated with progress as well as evaluating the finishes, fixtures and fittings.
The other challenge was privacy. Our client's house between two other terrace properties and even they have great neighbours, privacy was paramount. The design provided a flood of light from the rooflights above
The new ground floor extension provided room for an open plan kitchen space with the bathroom location replacing the old kitchen location. The flat roof construction benefitted from rooflights capturing as much sunlight. The overall transformation of the space made the house feel open and connected than it was previously.

We've had two Newcastle singles star in the show in the past two years and hot on the heels of one of this year's couples getting engaged, applications are now open for Love Island 2017.
The itv2 two show has proved to be compelling viewing since being revamped and brought back to our screens for the first time since 2006 after two runs featuring celebrities like Sophie Anderton, Bianca Gascogine, Calum Best and the North East's own Jayne Middlemiss.
Newcastle model and promoter Chris Williamson featured in the comeback series in the summer of 2015 and was followed by former Miss Newcastle Sophie Gradon who was one of the most talked about contestants on last year's run, thanks to her rollercoaster relationship with Welsh fitness instructor Tom Powell.
And while they are no longer together, love is most definitely still in the air for 2016 runners up Alex Bowen and Olivia Buckland after Alex popped the question at the weekend.
If you fancy finding love in the sun this summer you can now apply to be part of Love Island's new series.
The programme makers are looking for vibrant singles from across the UK who want to head to the sun, in search of a summer of love. The chosen cast will spend time in a luxury villa, getting to know one another - but to remain in paradise; they must win the hearts of the public who ultimately decide who stays on Love Island.
Sound like something you'd be up for? You can apply now via the Love Island website.
You must be over 18 on or before April 30, hold a valid passport and be available to participate in the show for a minimum of seven weeks.
The closing date for applications is April 30.

Excellent efficient service
Being new to Canada and having experience bad service on several occasion I was very reluctant to approach a company to install a air conditioning unit and replace my Furnace.
After several quotes last year I decided not to proceed. One of the quotes was from Guru Plumbing. I liked their approach and Raj some how came across as a genuine person.
I approached him again after 13 months. He accepted to honour his quotation which was 13 months old. In fact I upgraded the equipment and landed paying extra for this as I felt that he was giving me value for money.
Everything was installed in a day, on the day it was planned for. Raj has still kept it touch to make sure all was well.
I will recommend him to any would be customers
- Company Response
Thank you Sawaran for believing in us. We are very glad to hear you had a great experience with us. We look forward to continue this relationship and help you with all your plumbing, heating or cooling related issues.

One of the benefits of getting older is knowing how you will spend your newly found free time. For some, the concept of spending their Golden Years on endless chores and home maintenance is simply unappealing. This is when independent living communities, also referred to 55+ communities, senior living centers, and retirement centers offer these seniors relief from responsibilities including repairs and housework. They may also provide quality amenities including on-site fitness activities, transportation, restaurant style meals and dining, and even indoor pools.
There is no question that older adults are a huge part of the population of Toronto. In the past 40 years, the total number of older adults who are living in this city have increased to more than 200,000. Today, it is estimated that there are close to 680,000 people in Toronto who are over the age of 55. This growth is expected to continue, which means the use and demand for 55+ communities are also going to continue going up.
In Canada, the national cost for a senior living community can vary greatly. On average, a person can expect to pay between $1,400 and $3,500 per month. In Toronto, the average cost is $2,798 per month. There are a number of factors that can impact this cost, including location, services offered, amenities and type of residence. It is often a good idea for a person to plan their budget and then begin their search for a 55+ senior living community.
The costs for senior housing can vary greatly based on the location of the community, the size of the unit and amenities offered. While there are some who have planned for senior living care, they sometimes do not realize what the cost of this will be until they actually begin the search. The good news is that there are a number of ways to privately pay for the care that is needed.
Savings and income - Utilizing personal savings and income to pay for this 55+ community is the easiest route to take. If a senior is unable to cover all of the expenses, then families often help out to contribute to the cost of care.
Home equity - There are some seniors who will be making the move from their home to another residence. Selling this real estate can provide assistance in paying for the care that is needed.
Selling an insurance policy- This is referred to as life settlement and involves selling the policy to another company or person who will then pay on the premiums and receive the benefit when the person passes away.
Long term care insurance- Long-term care insurance can help to cover the costs that are not covered by private medical insurance. This type of insurance can help to minimize the long-term financial impact a person has.
Prior to visiting any 55+ community, it is important to make a list of the things that matter most. For example, many facilities offer seniors with pets who are in need of a pet-friendly location. Some seniors may want to save money and live near their family and grandchildren. Or perhaps you are looking for a low-maintenance home where you can receive additional care in the future if it is needed.
Once you know what you want, you can begin your search. As you look for communities, be sure to ask for recommendations from friends, read some reviews and even visit properties.
Ask about what is included in the rent. There are some 55+ communities that cover cable services and many offer weekly housekeeping and laundry services. Other services include regular transportation to nearby venues and a certain number of meals per day.
Most independent living communities typically offer quite a few amenities for the residents. Some options to consider include a pool (preferably heated for the cold Toronto days), onsite salon, walking trails, a fitness center, and others. Other amenities include game rooms, covered parking, dog parks, and free Wi-Fi.
For seniors who want the ability to live independently, but receive additional care down the road if it is ever needed, they should check out Baybridge Senior Living. Here seniors can remain independent or receive additional help and assistance with some tasks. This makes it possible to move once and remain in the same place for years down the road.

I bought all of these items with my own money and every item in this list is something that I personally love and use and would recommend to my friends and family in a heartbeat!

Almost all of myfilm projects have been shot on the Canon 5D Mark III. There is now also a Mark IV available, but I have not felt the need to upgrade - yet.
The 5D shoots amazing 1080p video and with some good lenses in front of the body I can get all the cinematic shots I really need. Just make sure you use either a tripod or some other form of stabilisation while filming to get nice and smooth shots.
The only features I find lacking in the 5D are autofocus during video recording, an articulating screen and slow-motion support which you can find in some other Canon cameras like theCanon EOS 70D.
In terms of lenses for the Canon 5D, I primarily use both theCanon EF 24-70mm II USM and the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM. With those two lenses I have the focal range from 24-200mm covered and can get 95% of all the shots I could ever want. For product reviews I might also make use of the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM to get some of those cool detailed macro shots.
These lenses are amazing quality, but they are expensive. You can often find cheaper alternatives, either from Canon or other brands like Tamron or Sigma.
Almost all of my vlogs and behind the scenes footage are shot on the superbCanon Powershot G7X. I absolutely love this camera. I love it so much that, after I broke the camera while trekking through Nepal due to dirt and dust, I went straight back and bought another one.
The video quality, especially the inbuilt image stabilisation, is absolutely amazing. It is easy to walk around with the camera and use it for vlogging or capture some really cool shots just holding it in your hand.
The files are high quality and compact even with 1080p and a single battery lasts me a good 40 minutes of active shooting. The only issue can be the audio quality, especially on windy days as the G7X has no external microphone jack.
Unfortunately the G7X does not have a hotshoe adapter and so I cannot connect myRode VideoMic to it to give me professional audio. If Canon ever gets around to fixing this oversight I'd proclaim it the best vlogging camera ever!
If you are looking for a slightly cheaper option while keeping the awesome video quality and stabilization check out theCanon S120. I used to own one before I upgraded. It is awesome for the price!
I love this camera so much that I even made areview video for the Canon G7X!
I love my Canon 5D, but it is heavy and with my 2 main lenses takes up a lot of room in my luggage when we travel. Therefore, I decided to give theSony Alpha 6500 a try and I really enjoy using it!
I have always been apprehensive about mirrorless cameras because I just hate the digital viewfinders and I don't use it on the Sony Alpha 6500 either, I just rely on the LCD screen at the back.
While it is a crop sensor camera, the sensor size is nice and big and even in low light, I get great images out of it. 4K video and the ability to shoot slow motion (100 FPS at 1080p!) make it a great video camera as well.
The only issues I have with the camera to make it a perfect all-rounder are: the screen does not flip 180 degrees which makes it impossible to see yourself while vlogging. Also, image stabilisation when trying to film yourself is pretty wobbly and on bright days it can be challenging to see the LCD screen clearly due to a lot of reflections.
But as a replacement for my Canon 5D in terms of travel photography, it kicks ass! The 2 lenses I usually bring along on travel with me to accompany the Sony Alpha 6500 are theSony 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 E-mount lens for all day walking around and the Sony SEL-20F28 E-mount 20mm F2.8 prime lens for low light situations.
I still bring the Canon G7X along though for any vlogging I want to do. The image stabilisation is unbeatable!
In my humble opinion, theDJI Mavic Pro is probably the best, lightweight, consumer grade drone that you can buy.
We held out getting into the drone market for a long time because nothing offered the portability and quality we wanted to easily take the drone with us on our travels. The DJI Mavic Pro changed all of that.
It shoots amazing, stabilised 4K video and folds up to a size that I could fit into the pocket of some of my baggier shorts. It takes me about 2 minutes to get the Mavic set up and into the air and it is intelligent enough to return back to me should the signal falter or I forget to check the battery.
There are too many great things to be said and so I created areview video for the DJI Mavic Pro!
I absolutely love this drone. It's not a cheap option by any means, but I can take it anywhere in the world, get beautiful aerial shots and won't have to worry that it might fall from the sky after a little bit of usage.
If you are considering getting the Mavic, I recommend also getting theFly More Combo as each battery lasts for about a 30 minute flight. You really don't want to end up having to go back home during a beautiful sunset because your one and only battery is flat.
There is now also theDJI Spark which looks awesome and even more compact that the Mavic, but I have not yet had the chance to try it for myself.
If you are planning on shooting high quality videos, take a moment and think about your audio. Viewers will put up with bad video if the audio is good, but if the audio is bad, people will click away really quickly.
The main microphone that I use for film making and for recording the audio for all of my tutorials is theZoom H5 usually in combination with the Zoom SGH-6 Shotgun Microphone attachment.
The shotgun microphone is highly directional and suppresses ambient noise. This gives me a nice and crisp sound even when I record at home where I usually struggle with echo and my neighbours mowing their lawn.
One thing I love about this microphone is that I can just plug it straight into my computer via USB. Not only does this supply power, it also allows me to record directly in programs such as Adobe Audition or Movavi Screen Capture and I get that nice and crisp audio quality I want.
If you are looking for a cheaper option, for a long time I used to record with the smaller brother of the H5, theZoom H2N instead. It does not have a shotgun microphone attachment, but does give you very authentic and clear audio to work with. Check out some of my older YouTube videos for examples of what you get out of the Zoom H2N.
When I am filming with the Canon 5D or the Sony Alpha, I like to bring along theRode VideoMic. It's a great on-camera shotgun microphone that will give you good quality and it comes with a furry windscreen to protect against wind noise (not shown in picture). I just wish my Canon G7X had a hotshoe adapter and an audio jack and I'd have the perfect combination! Or that the Sony Alpha 6500 had a flip screen.
I use a lot of different tripods for all sorts of situations. I have small ones that I can sit on my desk to film with the Canon G7X, medium sized ones to hold the Zoom H5 when I record a skit for a tutorial and large ones to hold my Canon 5D and potentially even a camera slider.
The tripod in this image is the niftyManfrotto MKCOMPACTLT Compact Tripod . We actually bought this one in Yellowknife as we didn't have space in our luggage to bring one long and this one proved a nice combination of compact and sturdy. It won't be able to hold a full-frame DSLR with a big lens, but it can hold most compact and mirrorless cameras and audio equipment without any issues.
TheManfrotto MK190XPRO4 with the XPRO Ball Head is my workhorse. It can hold up anything from my big DSLRs to even the my heavy Rhino Camera Slider which weights in at somewhere around 5kg. I can flip the mid-section to be horizontal for some cool top-down shots and flat lays and the construction is so sturdy that I never have to worry about being too rough with it.
This is not travel sized tripod and so I use it primarily for filming tutorials, skits and short films at home. I comfortable take it on road trips as well where luggage space isn't a limitations and I can just throw it into the boot.
as well because it is super durable, tall and allows me to change the mid-section to horizontal so I can get some cool top-down or flat lay shots.
Finally, a tripod every film maker or photographer should have -The Gorillapod. This tripod has flexible legs so you can wrap it around railings, tree branches and you can easily level it out no matter what the surface. It is surprisingly strong and super easy to take along with you on any travel. This tripod comes along with me onto any holiday we go on. A must have!
There are SO many great options for good headphones. The ones I prefer to use because they aren't too expensive and give me a good balance between comfort and sound quality are theAudio-Technica ATH-M50x.
I like to check my audio at least once using these headphones to see if I can spot any strange noise or hum or buzzing that I might have missed while editing with my speakers. Just be aware that most viewers will not watch your videos with professional studio headphones and so you should mainly be worried about making it sound good on ordinary speakers and standard mobile headphones. I just like giving my audio a once-over to make sure my quality is solid.
Gear does not make or break your movie. You do not need the latest and greatest gear to start creating great videos on YouTube or shooting captivating photos to share on Instagram or Facebook. You can live stream from your phone. Don't let the lack of gear hold your back, use what you have and be creative

Obtaining route financing can be extremely difficult. Most traditional lenders are unwilling to provide financing for a route business since there is no collateral involved beyond the actual route territory itself. Some companies such as Pepperidge Farm have strong banking relationships which allow them to offer financing programs through their business banking partner. Unfortunately most routes do not have this benefit available.
The good news is that The Route Exchange has a great relationship with an incredibly successful third party funding partner. Our funding specialists can pre-qualify any interested buyer to let them know how much funding is available to them and what the terms will be. Many of these options have 0% interest for the first 12 months. There is no risk in finding out what is available to you through the pre-approval process. If you need third party route financing contact us today and we will have a funding specialist reach out to you as soon as possible. Just submit the form below to get started.

The following is a short article on clover mites that can be an nuisance invader of houses in the early spring.
Clover mites are accidental invaders that can be a temporary nuisance during the early spring. These very small, reddish brown creatures appear only as moving dark spots to the naked eye. Sheer numbers, plus the resulting red-brown stain left behind if they are crushed, make them unwelcome visitors. Clover mites are not blood feeders and will not harm people or pets, nor will they infest household products. Once inside a home or building they will soon die. Clover mites feed on clover and grasses. They can be especially abundant in the heavy, succulent growth of well-fertilized lawns. They usually enter a home around windows or doors so they are usually seen crawling along sills or thresholds. A soapy rag or wet sponge can be used to clean mites off of surfaces. Wipe carefully to avoid crushing the mites and causing stains. The crevice tool of a vacuum cleaner may also be used to pick up mites. Rely on non-chemical control indoors. Do not apply insecticides to kitchen counters or other interior surfaces. There is an increased potential for invading structures when grass extends up to the foundation. A plant bed or open area will provide a barrier that will stop many mites and provide a long term solution to persistent problems. Avoid overfertilizing lawns. This creates situations that are ideal for mites to increase to tremendous numbers. A barrier spray of a pyrethroid insecticide may reduce movement of the mites from grasses to patios, decks, or house walls. Use a sprayer to treat at the base of all exterior doors, garage and crawl space entrances, around foundation vents and utility openings, and up underneath siding. It may also be useful to treat around the outside perimeter of the foundation in a 2 to 6- foot-wide band along the ground, and 2-3 feet up the foundation wall. Follow label directions.

Last Time …
Amelia's meeting with Zoe didn't go well. Zoe was unimpressed when Amelia told her she suspected that Christina had sabotaged the board presentation.
There were more surprises in store when Amelia got back to her office. A panicked Christina decided to get on the front foot and pointed the finger for the sabotage at Chantal. But Chantal was ahead of her; she'd already texted Amelia requesting an urgent offsite meeting.
By the time Richard called with news he'd been promoted, Amelia was exhausted and distracted. This conversation didn't go well either. Richard misinterpreted her reaction as a lack of support.
It's a few months later, so let's see what's happening …
It's midnight and Amelia's curled up on her sofa with a glass of red wine and a thick document labelled ROBERTSON PROPOSAL. The wine bottle on the coffee table beside her is nearly empty, and without her makeup she looked pasty.
She answered her phone – it was Richard. 'Hi honey. How's London?' she asked. 'Mmm … yeah … really … that's great.' Stifling a yawn, she continued, 'Oh, okay, how much longer?'
Richard nodded hello to a colleague who'd taken a seat next to him at the bar. Then he turned on his stool, took a deep breath, and replied to Amelia, 'Uh, they think it'll be another week before we finalise the case. Are you sure you're fine? It's just I never know for sure when you say that.' After an awkward pause, he gave a relieved sigh. 'Yep, it's a great opportunity. How about you? What's happening?'
Amelia gave a hollow laugh, 'Nothing new; just the usual, work, work, and some more work. Hmmm. No, I haven't seen any of them for ages. They've probably forgotten who I am.' She stifled another yawn. 'Yeah, friends are important,' Amelia rolled her eyes as she spoke. 'I'll do something about it after we get through this latest proposal. I will, I promise,' she added as she quaffed some more wine. 'Night … love you too.'
Amelia tipped the remaining contents of the wine bottle into her glass, stared at the Robertson proposal, and then burst into tears.
Keesha flopped into her chair and exhaled, 'Geez! Amelia's in a foul mood again this morning. It's like she's a different person this past few months – ever since the board presentation. You'd think she'd be happy. The success must've gone to her head.'
Christina smirked and glanced at Chantal, 'I told you she wasn't so sweet, didn't I? Believe me now?'
'What's the issue, Keesh?' asked Chantal.
'The Robertson proposal. It's not due for two weeks but I had to have it done early so she could review it.' Keesha's face screwed up from her nose outwards. 'She's reviewed it all right – I've got to re-do the whole thing! I know I'm only an intern, but seriously, she's obsessed about checking everything I do!'
'Cool it, hon, you're not the only one,' Gloria Kaufman, the experienced hand in the team, answered. 'It's the same deal with me.'
Collective heads turned as the 'me too' responses echoes around the office.
Christina's mind was in overdrive. 'Oooh goodie, she's rattled. Maybe I've won this round after all,' she thought. Her smirk widened into a grin as she licked her index finger and marked a notch in the air.
Surprise registered on several faces as they watched Christina. Lost in her own world, she hadn't realised they'd noticed her.
'Well helloo there!' declared an Amazonian woman with jet-black hair.
Amelia woke from her trance and broke into a broad smile. She gave the new arrival a bear-hug, 'Hi Nicky, so good to see you.'
'I haven't been here before. Nice place. The name's cute too,' Nicky said as her Scottish eyes twinkled piercingly across Amelia's face.
Aware of the scrutiny, Amelia dropped her eyes, 'Yeah. It's a pun on raison d'etre. Raisin because the food's organic; organic café and bookshop just wouldn't be as quaint. Shall we order?'
'Okay, but as soon as we do you're gonna spill the beans,' Nicky said in a motherly tone. 'I've been worried since you called, and frankly you look ghastly … still gorgeous, but ghastly.'
Perched in a corner booth, the two friends are deep in conversation when the waiter delivered their food.
'Humph! So, what did this Chantal person say?' Nicky was frowning.
Amelia sighed, looked Nicky in the eye and said, 'Christina told her that she – Christina that is – had left a surprise in the numbers she'd included in the board presentation.'
'Jesus Christ! The bitch!' Anger thickened Nicky's accent.
'Shh! You know how small this town is. You never know who's listening,' warned Amelia.
'I don't care, honey; the world should know what a cow this woman is,' Nicky's voice was slightly lower. 'Is there no end to it? When will we stop tearing each other down like that? Harrumph! What did you do about it?'
Amelia sighed again. 'I've been dreading this question', she thought. 'Well, er, nothing. I can't talk to Richard, and I don't want to risk pissing-off Zoe any further. It's been driving me crazy; I can't trust anyone, I have to check and double check everything. There aren't enough hours in the day or night. I'm so exhausted,' tears flooded from her.
Zoe's in Declan's office. He's just finished taking her through a presentation on his laptop, and there are several folders marked CONFIDENTIAL strewn across the meeting table.
'As you can see, Zoe, this is a serious threat to our business.' A dishevelled Declan removed his glasses, revealing dark moons around his bloodshot eyes.
'Hmm, yes, it's troubling. I appreciate you sharing this information with me, boss, but I'm wondering …' Zoe didn't get to finish her sentence.
'… why I'm telling you?' he asked. 'Because I want you to be part of the solution. The Board has asked me to get my A team working on this, and I want you to lead it.' As Zoe opened her mouth to object, Declan put both his hands up. 'I won't be accepting any objections. You can do it – with help, of course.'
Zoe cleared her throat. 'Hmm, okay, but I might need to bring some new blood into my team.'
Declan nodded. 'I thought you would – we need to free up Amelia's time.'
'Oh no!' Zoe exclaimed. 'Ooops … he's crinkled his brow,' she thought. 'I mean, it's still early days for Amelia in the role. I'd like her to settle in a bit more.'
'Really?' he replied sceptically. 'She seems to be doing extremely well. Is there anything I need to know?' Declan's voice betrayed his thoughts. 'I hope I don't have a woman-to-woman issue here.'
'No, no, no … not at all!' Zoe's face is now redder than Declan's eyes.
What would you do if you were Amelia? What advice do you have for her? Please share your thoughts and any constructive comments in the section below.

If you have an MSDN account, the SharePoint Server, FAST Server, Project Server, and Office Web Apps with Service Pack 2 ISOs have been released. These ISOs will allow you to install SharePoint on Windows Server 2012.
Category Archives: SharePoint 2010
SharePoint User Profile Import / Synchronization
SharePoint 2003 & 2007:
- User Profile Import only
- No issues with any release (that I am aware of, please update me if you are aware of any issues)
SharePoint 2010:
- User Profile Synchronization (read or write, but not both on the same property)
- Prior to the April 2012 CU (including SP1); Synchronization would do one of the following behaviors based on which CU you had installed:
- Profile Synchronization service will not start
- Profile Synchronization service starts, but synchronization fails
- Synchronization succeeds once and only once (the full sync)
- Synchronization succeeds on first full sync and further incremental sync, but fails further full syncs
- other Sync DB issues, see here
- As of the April 2012 CU; Synchronization just works with the following notes:
- There is still a bug where a UPA created with a Windows PowerShell session not running as the Farm Account prevents provisioning of the UPS service instance, has NOT been fixed. We still need to use the workaround here
- There is also no change to the support of only a single OU per tenant for Synchronization
SharePoint 2013:
- User Profile Import or Synchronization
- It appears as if Import does not understand Subscription IDs and therefore cannot be used with a Partition Mode UPA. This may prevent My Sites from working…
- I have not tried synchronization yet, please provide your experiences…
- For all versions of SharePoint, you will need to use a domain account for import/synchronization and provide that account the "Replicate Directory Changes" permission. The following article is directed for SharePoint 2010, but has the same necessary steps for all the other SharePoint versions.
- Configure import or synchronization in SharePoint
- User Profile Import
- SharePoint 2010: Configuring Profile Import in SharePoint 2010 – A Way Around the Minefields

Why choose a BCS solution?
Surfacing external data in SharePoint enables users to build composite applications that give access to critical information and make their interactions with that information more convenient. Business Connectivity Services (BCS) is the SharePoint service which allows surfacing of external data from SQL Server, Web Services, or.NET Assembly Connector. SharePoint even provides no-code BCS solutions to surface the external data via SharePoint Designer to allow for rapid development and provides External Lists to quickly interacting with that data. You can also secure the data by setting permissions on who can create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) the data. You can even crawl that data using SharePoint Enterprise Search and set a profile page for rendering the search results in a meaningful way. You can rapidly developing a feature rich front end for your external data.
Search enabling your BCS solution will however require more than SharePoint Designer to develop. This is also true if you want to deploy your solution to multiple environments. This does not mean that you have to write code, but it does mean that you will find yourself in Visual Studio modifying declarative markup that SharePoint Designer can produce and packaging that markup into WSP solution packages. This approach will allow you to develop external data solutions that you can quickly develop and deploy to multiple environments consistently and will provide your users the ability to immediately search and render meaningful results.
Now if you do determine that you need to integrate external data with SharePoint, but want to still have custom forms or any kind of richer user experience to interact with that data, you could write code using the SharePoint API against external lists. This approach is often touted as one of the great things about external lists in that you can treat them as any other SharePoint lists. This approach will work for small datasets, but for large datasets and anytime you are concerned about performance of your forms, you will really want to write your code to go against the BCS Runtime or Client Object Models. This is a very powerful approach as you can now develop a very rich custom user interface to interact with your external data within the SharePoint context. You can even access your external data from other applications via the BCS Client Object Model.
As I have discussed, SharePoint provides for rapid development of external data and allows you to apply security and search on your external data. It also provides the capability to build very powerful and very rich custom user experiences for your external data. Implementing these solutions to different environments and making your application production ready presents some challenges that are not well documented. In my next few blog posts, I will go through the process of making an external data solution from beginning to end and show you techniques that will make your solution more stable and production ready.

Colva Beach is on the southern end of Goa's long, continuous strip of coastline. It is located just 6 km away from the city of Margao. It's broad and beautiful, has a stream coursing through it and is backed by palms.
The frilly movements of the sea appear as if the sea is lazily enjoying the tickling sensations spread by the waves riding over it. This is how you can describe the sea at the Colva beach. You go to the Colva Beach just to laze, laze and laze. Many choose to go to the Colva beach just to experience a change from the crowded Anjuna beach or the Calangute beach.
Sadly, the beauty of the Colva beach has been its downfall as the vicinity has been densely populated by off-beach shops and restaurants which make the area brightly lit and crowded. Consequently giving it the feel of a funfair rather than a serene, unwinding beach. This is essentially our domestic tourist's paddling beach. Swimming is pretty safe at this beach and visitors can really have a gala of a time at this beautiful place.
Colva beach has gained popularity with the surge in tourism in Goa. Few years back in Goa, Colva was a simple village housing the fishing community. The tourist who poured in, enchanted by the beauty of Colva beach, made their own arrangements of stay.
Our Lady Of Mercy church is on the way to Colva. It is a simple church but it has an interesting history attached to it. This magnificent church was built in 1630 and erected into parochial church by Bishop Governor. Child Jesus or Infant Jesus (Menino Jesus) is venerated in this church with special devotion.
Colva Beach is also a popular destination in south Goa and the beach is surely a jewel in Goa's crown of beaches. Few can rival its scenic splendour. There are also good restaurants with a range of exotic cuisine and quality accommodation available close by. Colva is quite a crowded beach. And, to ones surprise a majority of the crowd consists of locals. Though scenically this isn't one the best beaches although it does have a lot of good restaurants.
Though there are eating joints and hotels around Colva, the Colva beach in Goa still manages to keep its serenity in tact. Unlike Anjuna or Calangute, Colva beach in Goa gained popularity only lately. Over the years, many hotels and buildings have sprung from nowhere in and around these beaches in Goa. Colva beach in Goa is one of those beaches in this small Indian state of Goa that is developing at a very good pace.

Lagos: The Chairman of the Association of Private Practicing Surveyors of Nigeria (APPSN), Adeleke Adesina, feels that surveyors have been underutilised in Nigeria.
Stressing on the fact that surveying plays an important role in physical planning, environmental management and economic development of any nation, he said, "We are only engaged in cadastral survey. If this is the only thing we do, I think we should not have spent five years in the university before we graduate. We have other serious areas here we work."
Speaking at the 2014 Professional Development Seminar of the association, he ascribed the issue to lack of awareness about comprehensiveness of the role of surveyors in national and economic development among policy and decision.

Chapter 07: Fire
The first 2400 kilometers of Arendelle's Space Elevator were forty meters thick, suitable to hauling the heavy lift elevator to low orbit. Once clear of atmosphere fusion drives could quickly give any ship orbital velocity and the materials platform there had accelerators to do just that. The rest of it, all 34000 kilometers, was only four meters across. It didn't have to be heavy, just strong enough to hold up the rest of the Elevator and make access to space possible. At the very end of that cable lay Anchor, the furthest reach of Elsa's domain, a lonely maintenance outpost that looked out to the rest of the universe.
Kristoff thought it was still a pretty nice place.
Sven definitely enjoyed the lack of gravity. He didn't enjoy the skinsuit, at least not with its "plumbing" adapter, but he loved zero-g, especially since he had complete control of the reaction thrusters that let him zip around the station with ease. He made that delighted weird honking sound he emitted when he was happy. Kristoff watched him go with a wave. "Don't get lost, Sven. Stick to the party."
Anchor was a marvel of engineering the likes of which Manticore had long ago abandoned. Arendelle had gone their own way, working with zero-g materials sciences to create perfect femtotech boron-fullerene hybrids with tensile strengths that bordered on miraculous, and Kristoff had said so.
"Thank you," Commander Crosby had said with complete sincerity. "If we begin trading with Manticore, might I assume that you have had your own progress in the materials department?"
That was a common theme of every conversation. "If-or-when we begin trading with Manticore…" These people were anxious to be trade partners, to get to know the greater universe. This was no hidden colony put away to avoid the rest of humanity, as Grayson had been. Arendelle had meant to be a part of human space. It had just gotten lost somewhere along the way.
Anna and Kristoff had actually found Arendelle's founding in Winterkiss's library. The Arendelle TransEuro Colonial Corporation had sponsored one of the very earliest slower-than-light sleeper convoys, a luxurious high-automation effort mostly for upper-class Terrans who had the prescience to foresee the coming economic catastrophe. Their leader had been Doctor Josef Arendelle, a multinational financier who had invested heavily in Earth's first successful space elevator. Four ships had broken out of Mars orbit in 241PD and disappeared into the void, headed for the general direction of Lynx. How they had accidentally stumbled upon a wormhole, much less navigated it safely without a modern starship's instrumentation, still remained a great mystery.
Kristoff had made reassuring noises at all the inquiries. At least he hoped so. He'd watched Elsa out of the corner of his eye, and he liked what he saw, at least professionally. She made a good enough Queen when she wasn't being so twitchy, and maybe he could see what was making Anna act so twitterpated around her. It wasn't a healthy state of mind; she had a boyfriend back home, apparently getting serious. Kristoff had met Hans and didn't understand the attraction. He thought Hans was a bit of an arrogant ass himself, but then Kristoff wasn't a noble and didn't share the nobility's odd ideas about effective marriages.
Kristoff snorted. "Effective" wasn't what Anna wanted. She was romantic to her core. Kristoff had always been more than content to have Sven at his side. He didn't want, or need, romantic entanglements. If he had to choose, he'd have said he was interested in women, but he just didn't have that drive that so many of his peers seemed to have. It just didn't seem to matter to him, much to the eternal regret of his parents.
So what was it about Elsa that made Anna get so flustered and talky? She'd always been talky, rambling on and on when her mind got going, almost as if she were afraid the air might feel uncomfortable being empty and naked of words, but whenever the topic of Arendelle's Queen came around, Anna spoke even faster and more circuitously, trying hard to address the subject and avoid it at the same time.
Sven chittered at him, snarling slightly. Kristoff scowled. "Stop it, Sven. You know I can't understand you when you talk like that."
Sven signed something, and Kristoff nodded. "She needs friends, Sven." Sven gave him a look. "All right, she needs more. This is the wrong place–"
"Is something wrong, Commander?" Captain Calhoun asked.
"No. Me and my buddy here are having a… discussion."
Sven's look deepened. "We'll talk about this later, okay?" Sven's honking reply was almost an obscenity before he jetted down the hallway.
"He is a creature of few words, which like snowflakes the wind carries away. Come on, Commander. Dawdling time is over."
"Uh, yes. Ma'am."
He floated down a main corridor, spotting one of the Queen's other security guards. He was guided into the first truly luxurious room he had seen on the otherwise spartan Anchor. Even with a travel time measured in days, Anchor was that furthest outpost of Arendelle and it did get the odd, adventuresome tourist. The officer in charge had even boasted of a waiting list. There was a tiny bed-and-breakfast penthouse garden with a domed view of half the universe, the half that faced away from Arendelle. The last couple to visit were currently on their way down, so Elsa's party had the garden to themselves. The plants were all bedded down with a fine mesh netting that also kept the moisture in with the soil. It actually looked like a garden with gravity, flowers and shrubs reaching up to Arendelle's sun, clearly visible through the LCD-darkened glass of half the dome. The illusion lasted only as long as he didn't glance at the other visitors floating around the hexagonal arrangement of guide ropes, or examine the stars of the greater universe clear and untwinkling in the other half of the dome. The air of the garden smelled a heady mix of recycled air perfumed with roses and gardenias. "Wow," Kristoff breathed.
Calhoun slammed past him, flying into the room. "Code Nine!" she shouted.
The other guard stiffened. "Your majesty– " He stopped, and so did Calhoun. Commander Buzz said, "We have nowhere to go."
"The shuttle?" Calhoun asked. "We can make it to the shuttle."
Buzz shook his head. "Not from here. Not in time."
"What is it, Captain?" Elsa demanded, appearing in the hatchway.
Calhoun looked stricken. "Your majesty, I'm sorry. We… ASTC is reporting that we've lost control of the solar laser platforms. They're turning toward us."
"They what?" Anna said.
"All communication with Anchor just stopped, Captain!"
"Captain DuVar!" A new voice broke through her comm channels.
Anna looked down at the civilian feed on her tactical display. "Not now, Flynn. I'm busy."
"Then you'll want to know this, Captain!" His image split. "The laser platforms in solar orbit are turning toward Arendelle. They're preparing to fire."
"What?" Anna stared at the display. "Is there any way to stop them? Could they be taking hostages?"
"Captain, these aren't FTL transmissions. Those lasers could have fired as long ago as eight minutes and there isn't a thing we could do about it. Well, not eight minutes, the beams would be here already. But you can't take hostages in situations like this. The timing doesn't work. If those things are being aimed, they are going to be fired. They may have already been fired."
Anna stared at the screen, trying to find a way around Flynn's reasoning. He wasn't trained as a sailor, but he understood the physics all right. A beam of light couldn't be recalled like a missile. Kristoff and Sven were on Anchor. Elsa was on Anchor. That settled it. "Lieutenant Ibanez, make like an eclipse. Plot a course that'll put the belly wedge between the sun and Anchor, and execute when you have it."
"Aye, Ma'am!" Carmen Ibanez grinned. She treated Winterkiss the way VonSchweets treated small craft: a hot-shot with a toy. Anna had seen her maneuvering skills and trusted her to get it right the first time. Without hesitation or permission, Winterkiss shot out of its orbit and streaked downward toward Anchor at almost 250Gs, turning over only eleven seconds later, coming to a halt twelve seconds after that.
"Raise Anchor, if you can," Anna said. "Let them know we're here." She punched a button on the arm of her chair. "Engineering."
"Felix, we might be about to take the worst laserhead in history. Can they hit us? Can we take it?"
She heard Felix audibly swallow. "Can they hit us? Ma'am, they routinely hit a 3 kilometer-wide target at a distance of a light year. They'll hit anything they want at eight light-minutes. But I think we could survive it on the belly," he said. "Doctor Fitzhubert showed me the numbers. It'll be a near thing, but by golly I think we can take it. Once."
"The capacitors will have to take some of the bleed, Ma'am, and there's no guarantee they'll all survive. We'll probably have to take time to repair them all between blasts. Arendelle told me all about how they work, they're very proud of their achievements. They take time to recharge and they have limited aim rate capability. Arendelle's starships don't have independent maneuvering, after all, so it's not like they need to be quick on the helm. If we have to take a second hit, Ma'am, I suggest we think of something else."
"Got it. Thanks, Felix."
"I'll do what I can."
"What is God's name is that?" Captain Calhoun said, looking at the place where the sun had been. Now it was a deep, black hole, and long lines of light like frozen meteor streaks colored the universe all around it.
"Anna, no!" Kristoff said. He raised his wristcomm to his lips. "Winterkiss, come in, Winterkiss."
"Commander!" Anna's voice sounded relieved.
"Captain, what are you doing?"
"Saving your life."
"You could die!"
The tinny chuckle told him he shouldn't even bother. "Felix says we probably won't. And Felix knows his ship. You know this ship. You know we'll probably take it."
Anna was more nervous that she was willing to admit. "Probably isn't great odds, Captain."
"Then consider this some kind of crazy trust exercise in BuShips."
Kristoff started to reply, but the universe interrupted him.
Tactical alarms with nowhere to direct their fury screamed uselessly aboard Winterkiss's bridge before Lieutenant Rekkit shut them down with one bulky finger to his controls. "Sorry," he muttered.
Nobody heard him. They were staring at the engineering displays already needling into the red. There were hundreds of load-bearing capacitors all up and down the reinforced spine of Winterkiss reporting heavy strains. The firing time for a single laser was barely three minutes. The belly bands of a hyper-capable warship were supposed to be impenetrable to even the worst laser fire; it was supposed to bleed off the sides in a spray of photons whipped to even higher energies by the fusion-powered gravitic skew of a ship's wedge. Belly bands shrugged off nuclear-pumped laser heads. But this wasn't a weapon of war, this was a laser of an entirely different caliber. Violet beams slammed into Winterkiss and sprayed across her. For two kilometers to either side of Winterkiss, four trapezoidal sheets of immense gravitational gradient sheered the power of the laser up and away like some strange cosmic mirror.
Anna heard the voice of damage control as reports of fires and explosions echoed through her ship. Those were merely secondary damage from components of the ship doing too much, taking too much. It was her ship, and those were her crew. The beam hadn't gotten though, and Felix had warned people to stay away from the buffering components, but there would be wounded. There might even be dead. Anna's teeth hurt, and she forced her clenched jaw to relax. "Hold steady, Carmen," she said.
"Aye, Ma'am. Holding steady."
Even Winterkiss's gravitic nodes weren't enough to track everything. The beam cut diagonally across the upper wedge in less than fifteen seconds in a fast, linear streak for the bulk of its passage, and when it reached the bottom of the wedge it was free to space once more. Anna had saved Anchor, but now the beam cut down and traversed the Elevator directly, deliberately targeting a spot two-thirds of its length. One-third of the Elevator started to float away. The rest began an agonizingly slow collapse.
"Beam clear. Ma'am, it's Anchor!"
On Anchor, Captain Calhoun was hovering near Elsa, who had curled up into a fetal position. "Your majesty, we have radio." Elsa looked up, her eyes hollow. "You have to do something."
Calhoun eased closer to Elsa and said softly, "Your majesty. The gloves."
Elsa looked down at her hands. "I can't." Calhoun only stared at her. "I can't!"
"Your Majesty, you have to. Or they will fire again. It only takes a few hours. And I don't know if Captain DuVar's ship can take a second hit. I don't know if they survived the first one."
Elsa's head whipped up to where she thought she'd seen Anna's ship. "Anna?" Something was still there, but it was no longer just a black hole in space. It was glowing, as if it had absorbed all the light thrown at it and was bleeding it off in controlled amounts. Maybe that's exactly what it was doing.
The Manticorans had risked their lives to save her. Anna had risked her life, and the lives of everyone aboard Winterkiss, to save her. Captain DuVar, beautiful, lovely Anna, who had only yesterday become the one friend Elsa had who… who could leave. Trembling, she reached down and pulled off her gloves.
Her hands looked normal, but suddenly the world became brighter, took on a sheen of meaning and purpose as a second suite of data poured into her mind. Tenuously, trembling, she reached through Anchor's communications systems, communicated with the world. Everything on Arendelle greeted her touch with greedy eagerness. Everything bent to her will. Everything said they had missed her touch, would give her power, give her pleasure, if only she would give them meaning in return. She could rule all of Arendelle with the power restrained within her hands. Her power, her father's power, her family power.
Stop. I'm doing this for Anna. No, I'm doing this for Arendelle. There was more than one cache, more than one base station, more than one satellite. There had to be redundancies. With a simple thought, she sent a command. Forgive me, Corona. Protocol demands this.
She pulled the gloves back on hurriedly. That world, the one where her power spoke to her, disappeared into the background again, and Elsa curled up gratefully as it did.
"My Queen!" Hands were touching her person. Tamora's hands. Tamora turned her over. In times of crisis, medical and security personnel were allowed. They were the only ones who were allowed. "Are you all right?"
Elsa shook her head, and tears coursed over her temples and into her hair. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
Anna looked up an the main display to watch in horror as the space station, now cut loose from its mooring, began floating away. "Metzinger, get me the XO, now!"
She was relieved when she heard Kristoff's voice over the radio. "Captain?"
"Kristoff! What's your situation? How's Elsa?"
"We're alive. I wouldn't say we're fine, but we're, uh, we have power, food and water. There's a very slow tumble. Did they… did they cut it?"
"Damn." His voice receded into the distance as he shouted to someone else. "Commander Crosby! Winterkiss is confirming that the Elevator is cut."
A distant voice shouted, "Shit. Understood."
Anna said, "Kristoff, we're coming for you."
Lieutenant Rekkit said, "Uh, ma'am. You want to see this." She nodded, and he touched a button on his console. The screen came to life.
The Elevator was disintegrating. Self-destruct charges were going off all along its length, blowing it into pieces sufficiently small to disintegrate in the atmosphere. Anna cringed inside. The Elevator was a monumental achievement, an engineering masterpiece and Arendelle's only access into space. Without it, they were at the mercy of chemical rockets. Their space-based personnel couldn't go home; their groundside personnel couldn't go up.
That first two hundred kilometers of the Elevator couldn't self-destruct; it was the thickest part, the base that reached above the atmosphere, the segment that led to Low Orbit One, where it was safe to light off fusion drives and avoid falling back into the atmosphere, and nuking it would have done more damage than letting it fall. It was falling toward Arendelle. Each kilometer was several kilotons of densely-woven borocarbon fiber strong enough to survive re-entry.
The base fell with a mighty crash, devastating everything in its path and kicking up a dust storm that would linger for years. Every farm town, every agricultural center, every maintenance outpost within a blast zone eight hundred kilometers long and five hundred kilometers on a side was destroyed. Almost a quarter of Arendelle's wheat and corn production was wiped out in less than an hour. Thousands were killed.
Anna could only watch the devastation unfold. She turned to her tractor tactical station. "Vanellope, once we've put Anchor into a safe orbit I want you to take the pinnace and evacuate all non-essential personnel. We'll ferry everyone we can groundside as soon as possible." She punched a familiar button. "Felix, what's our status?"
"We won't be able to do that again, Ma'am. That beam overloaded several major breakers and capacitors. We have casualties, Ma'am, but I don't think any of them are fatal." Felix sounded worried. Anna waited for the worst. "We've lost our Warsharski sails, Ma'am."
"I think so, Ma'am. The capacitors for forward Alpha Ring number two were right next to the Warsharski coil, and they blew hard enough to destroy the containment vessel."
"Great. Just great." Without her sails, Anna would be forced to wait until Manticore sent a second expedition out to find her. She could theoretically go into hyper but without the sails she couldn't detect the dangerous gravity waves that might shred a ship in seconds, and in the absolutely uncharted and probably dangerous space between two binary stars and an anomalous brown dwarf, the last thing she wanted was to risk it. She couldn't go through a wormhole junction at all.
"Thanks, Felix. You kept us alive. Do what you can. I'll call you back." She toggled another station. "DC, tell me about our wounded."
"Six injured, no deaths, Captain," came the damage control officer's report. "Lieutenant Keane is going to lose his leg, but Doctor Whelan says he's on the regen list."
"And the others?" Anna said softly.
"Burns, mostly. Lt. Commander Dutta took it to the back of the head, and she's on the no-regen list. Some concussion but nothing major. Doc reports she'll live, but there'll be reconstructive surgery, and external transplantation therapy to grow her hair back."
"Understood." She looked up, and Olaf was staring back at her. She gathered him in her arms and held him, still eschewing the command chair she almost never sat in. "But Arendelle...." In Rekkit's tactical display, the Elevator was still crashing to the ground with such agonizing slowness Anna felt surely, surely there was something she could do. But there wasn't. It would take hours to complete its devastation, and there was nothing Anna or anyone else could do to stop fourteen megatons of destruction from scarring the equator of Arendelle forever. "All those people."
Anna listened as the toll rolled in. Groundside reports of wreck and ruin tugged at her, and she tried to steady herself. Olaf hopped up onto the chair and looked at her. She gave him a nod. "Captain," Lieutenant Metzinger said, "Boat Bay One reports Queen Elsa and party on board."
"Good," Anna said. "Is the XO among them?" He nodded. "Get him up here."
"Talk to me, Mr. Rekkit."
"Incoming fire, Ma'am! Large slugs. They look unguided. They're headed for the solettas!"
Anna gulped. Arendelle's solettas were vast, often 20 kilometers across, but they were nothing more than a strong, light framework across which stretched vast circular sheets of reflective mylar. They doubled the sunlight that reached each duchy. Without that sunlight, the city-states of Arendelle would be frozen wastelands. They were another marvel of colonial engineering, and she couldn't allow them to be destroyed. "Point of origin? ETA?"
"Arendelle's moon. ETA, six minutes."
Anna did some numbers in her head. Those slugs weren't moving very fast, not for a Queen's vessel. "Carmen, do we need to do anything to intercept?"
"We could be someplace further out, for ASTC's comfort."
"Do it." Although no one on the ship felt a thing, on the big screen the stars turned as the Winterkiss rolled to meet the new fire. "Ralph, get on a solution. Not one of those slugs hits home, you got me?"
"Aye aye, Captain." Anna shot him a look but chose not to interrupt. Ralph's tendency to descend to an almost piratical San Martino accent at moments of stress bordered on the unprofessional, but the man had been a member of the resistance during San Martin's occupation by the People's Republic of Haven. For a rebel, insubordination was just a game to be played. "Ready."
Coherent laser light flickered out from Winterkiss. Anna's ship wasn't meant to go into combat, but the anti-missile systems onboard were surely the equal of unguided rocks. Each slug, little more than a machined barrel of ore that in better days would have been destined for one of Arendelle's orbital refineries, disappeared under the withering fire.
The door to the bridge opened as Anna took in the battle reports. She saw Kristoff take up his station. Behind him, Elsa and Calhoun tumbled onto the bridge. Elsa looked wrecked, but Anna was glad to see her. So much she almost ran to the other woman before she remembered her place. "Your Majesty, you shouldn't…"
"I invited them," Kristoff said. "There's no place safer in the galaxy right now than this bridge."
"Oh." Anna stood upright, straightening the top of her uniform. "Good point. Welcome, then, your Majesty, Captain Calhoun." Elsa nodded. "Did Buzz come with you?"
Calhoun growled, "Yeah, he went and found Doctor Flynn."
"Oh, good. Comm, get me Flynn." He nodded. "Flynn, you and Buzz need to put your heads together. Is there any way anyone other than Vesselton could have fired those slugs from Arendelle's moon?"
"Not that I can think of," said the now familiar voice of Adolph Buzz. "Someone would have to break through two cryptosystems to make that possible."
This wasn't her war, but she had an enemy. The rules of engagement in peacetime defined a box around a starship, and any aggressive fire within that box gave the captain licence to return fire and neutralize the threat to her vessel. That box was far larger than anyone on Arendelle would have thought reasonable, but no ship on Arendelle remotely pulled tens, much less hundreds, of Gs of acceleration. A Queen's ship did. "Carmen. Direct course for Vesselton. Eighty-percent power with a zero-zero intercept. Time?"
Lieutenant Ibanez didn't hesitate. She had those numbers ready. "Eighteen minutes."
"Execute!" She turned to Calhoun. "One way or another, we're going to get to the bottom of this."

The Sweetest Spell
By Suzanne Selfors
Walker & Co., 2012. 404 pgs. Young Adult
Born with a deformed foot, Emmeline was left at the edge of the forest to die--except, protected by a group of cows, she lived. Her survival and her deformity have made her an outcast among her people, the impoverished dirt-scratchers, who fear she has some sort of black magic. When a flood wipes out her entire village and carries her beyond the Flatland boundaries--the only place the dirt-scratchers are allowed to live--Owen Oak, the son of a dairy farmer, finds her, and after his family nurses her back to health, discovers that she has a magical gift long lost to the people of their country--the gift of making chocolate. While the gift suddenly offers Emmeline a way out of poverty and respect she'd never have as merely a deformed dirt-scratcher, it also the sort of gift that others will do anything to get their hands on. Just as Emmeline starts to hope for a better life, and perhaps even acceptance beyond the Flatlands, she becomes the target of the evil schemes of those who will do anything to get Emmeline's chocolate for themselves.
The idea of chocolate being the hot commodity in a society seemed a little silly to me, but Selfors did a great job of making it believable. This fantasy world is a delightful one to visit. With adventure, political intrigue, a dash of romance, and a heroine who dares to believe in herself and fight for her people, this book was fun from start to finish.

Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1976)
"See you next week, then."
In Jeanne Dielman, however, director Chantal Akerman strips prostitution completely bare: there are no fancy outfits or make-up here; no cat calls; no dangerous street positioning; no pimps; no underlying psychological reasons for having entered into this profession. What we're left with instead is a middle-aged homemaker and mother who happens to have sex for money with men on a regular basis. It's never stated explicitly in the film, but it's implied that neither Jeanne's son nor any of her neighbors have any idea what she does to bring in money. Indeed, until the final moments of the film, not even the audience sees Jeanne servicing her Johns — all we are allowed to witness are scenes of Jeanne inviting a man into her bedroom; exiting a few seconds later (in a convenient time lapse); coldly accepting cash from him; and stating almost robotically, "See you next week, then," before seeing the man out the door.
Akerman's three-hour long character study is ultimately concerned with chronicling the predictable minutiae of Jeanne's daily life, as she takes care of her home, cooks for her son, answers letters from her sister, watches her neighbor's baby, and runs various errands around town. None of this is inherently compelling, yet it's strangely hypnotic to watch Jeanne pursuing her mundane rituals, day after day. Indeed, because so much time is spent showing the way Jeanne carefully maintains control over her life — and the frustration she feels when things don't go just right — the shocking final moments of the movie seem almost like an inevitable outgrowth of her routine.
It's difficult not to impose one's own interpretation onto a film like Jeanne Dielman, which leaves so much room for deliberation and conjecture. The unusual power of this marathon exercise in minimalism is the way in which we both accept Jeanne's "final" action as natural, and find ourselves questioning everything that has come before.

One Response to "Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1976)"
First viewing. Ultimately a must – its place as (stated) "a landmark in experimental European cinema" cannot be ignored – even film fanatics with a penchant for long, difficult films (and I sat through "Satantango" and "Berlin Alexanderplatz", to name a few) may be tested here. There is very little dialogue (though what there is takes on weight) and the camera often remains stationary through long stretches as the protagonist completely washes dishes, has often-silent meals with her son, simply sits at a table staring ahead, etc. See what I mean? Still wanna see it?
As directed by Akerman, Delphine Seyrig eschews what is intriguing (and stunning) about her elsewhere in favor of a plain performance, in look and delivery…until midway, when the film begins building a vague momentum. Seyrig's character is so fixated on getting things done, or else relaxing, that there seems little evidence of any kind of internal processing. Halfway, oddly, when Seyrig's Jeanne is peeling potatoes (!) and undergoes a sudden, subtle shift (she begins dropping things, etc.), if the viewer doesn't think he/she is watching paint dry, or is a fool for watching at all, it's possible that a certain personal transference may develop (if it hasn't started to already). Still wanna see it?
Watching Seyrig as Jeanne is rather like removing the other two stories in "The Hours" and simply following Julianne Moore's taciturn character around. Although Jeanne is not as obviously depressed as the (esp. younger) woman Moore played, there is an overriding feeling that something is not sitting right with her. (Does this disturbance begin when Jeanne realizes her son is at an age where he will regularly talk of matters of sex? There is something disturbing in her tone when she evades his inquisitiveness with remarks like "Making love, as you say, is merely a detail." and "It's no use talking about these things.") By the end, the viewer may be eerily reminded of news reporters speaking with neighbors of murderers who say things like, "I don't understand. He was so quiet and seemed so friendly." A cumulative effect sends its message home.
Though this film is (as stated) "demanding", it is no doubt more so if seen in a theater. Very much recommended for a single viewing (who would sit through it twice?!). If it comes off as mundane while you're watching it, don't be surprised if it haunts you after.

Always an innovator and leader in footwear, Lugz has partnered with some of the coolest brands and icons. To date, some exciting collabs have come out of partnering with brands such as Kid Super, Vintage Frames Company, Atelier New Regime, Fools Gold Records and Married to the Mob. These brands collaborated with our design teams to create custom and unique patterns for some classic Lugz styles. We have other exciting collabs in the pipeline – with some new styles dropping in the upcoming months.
Vintage Frames x Lugz Dot Com 2.0 The special edition collaboration with Vintage Frames draws inspiration from their first collaboration boot. The all-over ballistic multi-camouflaged Dot Com 2.0, dubbed "The Toe Stepper 2" carries a bold look and feel. Much like the upper, the rugged outsole boasts a marbleized camo design. Debuting at Complex Con 2018, this collaboration received a tremendous response when it was released on Cyber Monday 2018, expect additional iterations in the near future from Lugz and Vintage Frames.
Kid Super x Lugz Dot Com 2.0 The limited edition collaboration features a bold synthetic fur collar lining and premium leather on the upper. The chunky-soled sneaker-boot hybrid features the brand's speed lacing system, padded collar and tongue offer premium comfort, no matter what your day throws your way. Kid Super's art work is present on the embroidered toe cap, screen printed memory foam sock liner, and quarter. Each pair comes in a custom shoe box with a limited edition Kid Super co-branded figurine keychain. The ever changing multi-media artist explains, "Hype doesn't matter. If it is a good design you can make the shoe a desired item." Released back in November of 2018, Lugz and Kid Super partnered for a NYC based release via a wrapped food truck, which drew inspiration from the collaborations art and packaging.
"Never be Scared to Step On a Couple of Toes.." Straight from the mind of Corey Shapiro, the TOE STEPPER infuses his love of lens colors & camo. These boots are not for the faint of heart; whether you're jet-setting the world, walking the streets of New York, or just trying to live your best life, these are a must cop. Staying true to who he is, Corey created this custom boot together with LUGZ to give off a 90's feel, outfitted with modern day technologies.
Married to the Mob is at the intersection of feminine and feminist. Tired of streetwear's exclusion of girls, owner Leah McSweeney responded with the creation of MOB in 2004. Through its use of streamlined cultural references, MOB has grown from a T-shirt line to a full-fledged lifestyle brand, outfitting empowered ladies with everything from snapbacks to sneakers. With this collaboration, McSweeney decorated a black Lugz boot with Married to the Mob's signature lips graphic and a floral pattern.
Brooklyn-based record label Fool's Gold was founded in 2007 by DJs A-Trak and Nick Catchdubs and quickly established itself with a non-stop series of releases bridging the worlds of hip-hop and electronic music, introducing artists like Danny Brown, Kid Cudi, Duck Sauce, Flosstradamus and Leaf to the world while being praised as "one of the most influential indies in the music business" by Pitchfork. The Fool's Gold edition of Lugz' iconic Empire Hi features a "worn" pebble / cobble colorway with gold sole and two-tone laces, signature FG detailing (including a logo patch, metal lace lock, and character insoles) and a boot-shaped USB filled with music and more, all housed in a collectible, fully illustrated box featuring art by Chris M. Wilson.
This is the second collab with Atelier New Regime; a streetwear label created and headquartered in Montreal. Recognized for its refined aesthetic, prominent slogans and striking use of the color orange, ANR prides itself in representing creativity, freedom and passion. Over the years, the label has become a vessel for the collective to explore freedom through art, which has become an underlying theme of the brand's narrative. Through multidisciplinary design, Atelier New Regime aims to inspire people to reach their full potential by creatively pushing their limits, to change their world and the world around them. The capsule collection features two pairs of winter boots: the Empire Hi ANR as seen in last year's collaboration makes a return in a stone grey color, and the new Empire Lo silhouette is introduced in a black and orange colorway.
Atelier New Regime and Lugz Join Forces on A "Shock-Orange" Work Boot. Montreal-based label, Atelier New Regime followed through with an collaboration with Lugz. The boot is predominantly wrapped in ANR's signature "shock-orange" colorway and features Lugz's signature Flexastride memory foam technology as well as a semitransparent outsoles.
