Other speakers are just different shapes or can be installed in different places so that they will fit in better as well.
In addition to the main website, Jiles is also launching a blog located at http://www.YourMusicNeeds.com
The blog will cover topics that relate to the speakers that are offered on his website.

Hi Betty, Thanks for visiting & commenting on my blog. They are a stunning display of flowers. I remember that my Mum always had Lupins in the garden in their previous home where we grew up as kids.
P.S. I was in the process of putting a new site together as I'm not doing cartoons anymore so I've moved that post with the comments to my new blog.

text: Take Control of Your Comfort Room by Room with Zoning Systems Comfort is something we all take very seriously. No one loves being too cold or too hot, so when your home only makes the problem worse, what can you do? Well the answer very well may be a zoning system from Scott Temperature in Lawrence. Not only can zoning systems help you save money every month, they also keep everyone happy at a more comfortable temperature. While you may have not given a second thought to a zoning system in the past, there are a few benefits that may require another look at them. Whether it's a home with huge windows or one that can't seem to take careof those hot and cold spots, a zoning system can help tackle those issues. Here are a few other ways where a zoning system might be a perfect match: A level of your house is completely or partially under ground A home that has a top floor that is warmer than the lower floor(s) Rarely used rooms Rooms that are constantly stuffy An added room that is new since your heating and cooling system was installed High heating and cooling bills iHarmony® Zoning SystemControlling the comfort of separate rooms in your home has just found its match with the iHarmony® Zoning System. Whether you want to modify the temperature of the entire house or only have a couple rooms that need adjustment, the zoning system can handle it. One of the best parts about the iHarmony® Zoning System is that those changes don't have to be made at the thermostat itself. You can make changes from your smartphone without getting out of your recliner too, so don't worry about everyone wanting to get up to make changes all at once. Benefits include: Four-zone capability, allowing four areas to be programmed for custom comfort Wireless access so you can use your smartphone, tablet or laptop to control your home's comfort Product Brochure Contact Us to Learn More Harmony III™ Zoning SystemWorking to maintain the perfect temperature throughout your entire house can be quite a difficult project. However, when you utilize all the features that the Harmony III™ Zoning System has, you can make total comfort a reality. Did we bring up the fact that zoning systems can also help you save money on your energy bills? By setting separate temperatures in zones that aren't used as frequently, you're able to stop heating and cooling rooms that are seldom used. You'll be blown away by the difference the Harmony III™ Zoning System can make in your home. Perks include: Amazing efficiency that may decrease your heating and cooling bills when you use it alongside a variable speed heating and cooling system Four-area zoning allows you to take control of hot and cold spots Easy integration allows for an easy transition to a previously unknown level of comfort Product Brochure Contact Us to Learn More LZP-4 Zoning System When it comes to heating and cooling, flexibility can be your best friend. And when you're talking about the LZP-4 Zoning System you can rest easy knowing that you're able to keep your home at the ideal temperature throughout the day. The LZP-4 Zoning System also has a time delay feature so you don't have to think about the system turning on and off all the time, causing your bills to increase and wasting energy. Benefits include: Exceptional energy efficiency— may reduce your energy bills when used alongside a programmable thermostat Four-area zoning helps make hot and cold spots a thing of the past Easy integration with your standard heating and cooling systems so precise comfort is the new standard Product Brochure Contact Us to Learn More LZP-2 Zoning SystemEnvision the freedom of monitoring your home's comfort by splitting it in two. The LZP-2 Zoning System does just that, permitting you to maintain separate climate-controlled zones, so that you're comfortable in every area of your home. The best part is that you don't have to spend a lot to use the system's perks. Oh, and it could save you money on your monthly energy bills too. It's a win-win! The system also consists of: Superior energy efficiency— could lower your monthly energy bills when used with a programmable thermostat Two-area zoning lets you split your home in two to meet your comfort needs everywhere Simple integration with standard, single-speed heating and cooling systems allows you to take control of your entire home's comfort Product Brochure Contact Us to Learn More While it may seem like zoning systems have a lot of variables, they might save you every month by decreasing wasteful heating and cooling. We also understand that you may have a couple questions about zoning systems, so give the specialists from Scott Temperature in Lawrence a call at 785-269-0465 or arrange an appointment online with our online scheduler for more information.

Dear Robert, Charlotte & Imogen
Sam and I would like to thank you all so much for all your hard work in ensuring that the barn was ready in time and that the wedding was as wonderful as we had hoped it would be. Everything ran so smoothly, the food was delicious, the service excellent and the barn was just magical. A number of guests remarked that this was the best wedding they had ever been to! Praise indeed. We are sure that Odo's Barn will be a great sucess and feel so priviledged to have been the first couple to be married there. Thanks again.
Much love
Sam & Bern
Hi Charlotte
Thanks very much for looking after us so well at our party. It has been widely regarded as the best for years! It was a pleasure to deal with you and Rob, both when we were organising it and on the day itself. I had great fun! Good luck with everything this year. I think that once people start to hear about Odo's you will be onto a winner.
Cheers Bill Bill Lightfoot MRICS Managing Director Hobbs Parker Estate Agents LLP
Dear Charlotte
It was a great venue, you have done it up really well. I hope the new venture is successful in the coming year. Thank you very much for having us. I look forward to doing more with you in the future.
Kind regards
Kind Regards Sonia Brunton Environmental Consultant Agriculture ADAS UK Ltd
Dear Charlotte and Robert
Wow! What a fabulous new venue you have at Odo's Barn! We were so lucky to find you upon recommendation of a friend's very successful wedding the week prior. As an event organiser I know how hard it is to find a venue that ticks all the boxes for a client. I have to say that Odo's Barn was perfect for the party I organised for a bride and groom to celebrate their marriage with friends and family from all over the globe – it's not an exaggeration to say that they all fell in love with the superb setting.
Odo's is a stunning, atmospheric barn renovation with a very relaxed and intimate ambience, having the added benefit of such beautiful rural, quiet views from the outside decking/relaxation area. You made our guests feel extremely welcome with your friendly and helpful manner and the catering was delicious and just right. I couldn't recommend your venue more highly and wish you every success. Oh, and the ample, easy parking is such an added bonus making everything from arrival to departure so easy.
Kind regards, Shirley
Shirley Boards, Event Manager and Wedding Planner
Dear Charlotte and Robert
We are back to real life after our fantastic wedding day and honeymoon. We wanted to say thank you for all your hard work throughout our wedding week.
Without your help in accomodatating all our needs we would not have been able to have the wedding that we wanted, you were so flexible to our requirements and that was exactly what we were looking for, we did not want an "off the peg" wedding and you certainly helped deliver such a memorable event. With picnic baskets and glamping tents, it was such a great day.
You have such a wonderful venue, the barn is so beautiful and the views out over the Kent countryside are amazing.
All our friends and family had a brilliant time and commented on how beautiful the barn and grounds were, those who managed to speak to you commented on how nice you both were and it was great that you found the time to do that given how busy you must have been.
The barstaff were so friendly and got on really well with all our guests.
Thank you Charlotte and Robert for doing such an amazing job, if we could do it all over again we certainly would not need to choose anywhere else!
Kind regards,
Jon and Hayley
Dear Robert & Charlotte
Thank you so much for all your hard work over the weeks and months leading up to our wedding, and of course on the day itself. We had visited a few venues before finding out about Odo's Barn but for one reason or another things didn't really click, however the very first time we met you and saw the barn everything just felt right. You were both so approachable, supportive and accommodating we knew our wedding was in safe hands from the start! As the day got closer these attributes didn't change and your organised and calming approach was just what we needed to keep our wedding planning on track. On the day itself everything went perfectly – there isn't anything we would have changed and this is largely down to how comfortable we both felt with the two of you. The outside contractors that you recommended did not disappoint either – the marquees looked superb and the catering was first class. The barn itself is simply beautiful, we have both totally fallen in love with the place; the timbers, the terrace and plants outside, the fantastic lights inside, and not forgetting the stunning view! We keep thinking of reasons why we might need to hire it again just so
we can come back and enjoy it some more! We would highly recommend anyone searching for the perfect venue to give you a call.
With love Jo & Nigel
Dear Robert and Charlotte
We have been meaning to email to say thank you to you and Robert so much for everything. The whole day was wonderful, and the barn was the perfect setting. So many of our friends and family have asked how we found the barn and commented on how beautiful it was. We couldn't have asked for anything more. When we have some photos from the photographer, we will send any across that show the beauty of the barn. We really enjoyed working with you and Robert – thank you again!
Best wishes, Sarah and Ali
Hi Charlotte
Just a quick email to thank you again for helping with the wedding. We had such an amazing day. I will send you some pictures of the venue when I get them.

Angus An, who's known for his refined Thai dishes at Maenam restaurant in Kitsilano will be opening Longtail Kitchen in New Westminster, on the waterfront. I can't wait! It opens in May.
This is a press release with details:
(New Westminster, BC) March 22, 2013 — He's cooked in Michelin-starred kitchens around the world, his multi-awarded Kitsilano restaurant Maenam has won accolades locally and internationally, and he splits his executive chef hours between Vancouver and New York City. Chef Angus An shows no signs of slowing though — this May, he'll launch a brand-new venture at River Market: Longtail Kitchen.
Inspired by its waterfront setting on the Fraser River, and by the Thai water taxis from which it takes its name, Longtail will feature seaside Thai street food. But it's more than that; the restaurant marks an innovative new direction for An, who is best known for his classically trained cooking chops. Longtail is designed as a multifunctional, energetic kitchen, serving casual seafood by day, plus a retail shop offering An's signature curry sauces, spices, cookbooks and cookware. At night, it will play host to private dinners and cooking classes. "I see it as kind of a culinary playground for established and emerging chefs to interact directly with customers in a fun, approachable way," explains An.
For River Market, the opening of Longtail adds to its momentum and ambition as a world-class destination for feast and fun. "I'm a longtime fan of Angus' cooking. He and I have talked a lot about the future of restaurants," says River Market Director Mark Shieh. "One of our goals at the Market is to reconnect with food in a meaningful and playful way. Angus' imagining of a restaurant as a multifunctional seaside kitchen is a great fit with our approach."
An did his culinary training at New York's French Culinary Institute, and has worked in legendary kitchens such as Jean-Georges Vongerichten's legendary Jo-Jo, The Ledbury, The Fat Duck, and Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, before taking a position working under Chef David Thompson at Michelin-starred Thai restaurant Nahm. The latter has influenced An's own menus at Maenam, which opened in May 2009. The restaurant has been named the city's Best Thai by Vancouver Magazine's Restaurant Awards each year since it opened, and in 2011, it was the only restaurant in Canada and the U.S. to make the New York Times' list of "10 Restaurants Worth Leaving the Ship For." Last summer, An also took on an executive chef/consultant role at the famed Thai restaurant Kittichai in New York City.
Longtail Kitchen will have its official opening in May 2013. Stay up-to-date at rivermarket.ca, and on Twitter: twitter.com/rivermrkt, twitter.com/longtailkitchen.

When reading about quantum mechanics, I've stumbled upon a description of the force between two electrons as a result of virtual particles being "exchanged" by the two electrons.
So far I've understood that the virtual particles are a "prediction" of the uncertainty principle, and that their lifespan is inversely proportional with their mass.
Is an electron (or real particles in general) somehow stimulating the creation of virtual particles? If so, why?
If these guys pop in and out of existence, then won't they interfere with real particles? If so, then I guess the average effect on a particle is zero, as the creation is completely random along with the momenta of the particles. Is this correct?

It's rather unusual for a Dutchie in his/her thirties not being able to swim. Yet, I am one of those people. Because a large part of the country is under sea level and the Netherlands has faced some deadly floods in the past, knowing how to swim is quite essential in this country. In my days, school swimming lessons were compulsory, but having switched schools when I was 10 years old, I had missed out on them. Not that I was too bothered about this as the idea of being submerged in water was too much for me to bear. My mum sometimes tells me the story of how I used to squeal when she tried to wash my long hair as a toddler. I can't remember any of this, but apparently my brother had to hold me down while I screamed and my mum washed my hair. To my husband's relief I can now wash my hair on my own in silence (although he might prefer me screaming rather than 'singing' in the shower). Whilst my Facebook timeline was flooded with happy holiday pics from friends and their families on the beach over the last weeks, my only thought was: 'if only I could jump into the water without sinking'.
Growing up not being able to swim was not only embarrassing, but also made me feel left out from certain social activities. It used to be very popular to going out swimming for children's birthday parties, but obviously I had to make up an excuse and decline every time I would receive such an invitation from school friends.
I remember going out on a school trip as a teenager for the 125th anniversary of my secondary school. One of the activities included a visit to the biggest subtropical swimming paradise in the Netherlands at the time. While I saw my schoolmates having fun in the water and whooshing down the waterslides, I sat at the side feeling excluded (and rather warm being fully clothed in a space with a subtropical climate).
My parents had tried to help me and sent me to swimming lessons when I was around 10 or 12 years old. I absolutely hated it and it was pretty bad for my self-esteem. For people who know me now it might be hard to believe, but I used to be extremely shy, rather nerdish (okay, this hasn't changed), plump and not particularly popular in primary school. Imagine being 10-12 years old, feeling very self-conscious about your body with its first signs of female curves, being terrified of water, whilst being surrounded by happy, skinny 5-year olds who swim through hoops like trained baby dolphins. I felt so depressed about this that I made myself literally sick before my swimming lessons, it was horrible. My mum saw how distressing it was for me and decided to cancel my lessons after my third one. I can't tell you how relieved I was.
Over the years, several friends have tried to teach me to stay afloat in the water. I have mastered the skill of sinking more than anything else. For years I cursed my fear of water and regretted I hadn't persevered as a teenager. I felt too embarrassed to talk to anyone about this, and don't think even my best friends know about my inability to swim. When I discovered last year that my local gym offers swimming classes for adults, I started to consider taking up lessons. It was quite comforting to realise there are far more adults out there who can't swim either: the gym offers three beginner classes for adults a week and one of them even has a waiting list! Perhaps not being able to swim wasn't that much of a taboo as I thought? I felt quite optimistic about it, bought myself a swimsuit and decided to register for swimming lessons. That was exactly one year ago. I constantly made up excuses to not sign up, but the main reason was my fear of water. Yesterday I gathered all my courage and decided to at least give it a try. I was hoping there would be a waiting list, but unfortunately there wasn't which means I have my first swimming lesson this Thursday afternoon. I had disturbing dreams about it last night already and spent this morning watching YouTube videos in preparation whilst my tummy felt all funny. I still don't feel secure about my body and am not looking forward to walking around in a swimsuit amongst complete strangers, but fortunately I managed to join the ladies only class. In spring 2017 I'll be in Florida for six weeks and my goal is to feel confident enough to go out for a swim then. Wish me luck and send me supportive thoughts for this Thursday afternoon as I will need them! Stay tuned for new updates…
I'll try to bear this happy image in mind for my first class…
… but expect to feel more like this!
Have you also picked up swimming lessons at a later age or has a fear of water prevented you from learning to swim? Please share your experiences with me in a comment below as I would love to hear them!

Fishing in Madison's lakes is a serious business, as detailed in the Isthmus cover story published June 7, 2013. Even a president enjoyed the angling in Lake Mendota.
President Grover Cleveland came to Madison for a fishing trip in 1887. His guide was the city's greatest fisherman, Billy Dunn.
On Oct. 8 the president and a few friends set out in a small steamboat for a day of fishing at Maple Bluff. The group split up into small boats. Cleveland's sole companion was Dunn.
Dunn apparently was a Madison native. For 13 years he contracted to provide fish for what's now the Mendota Mental Health Institute. Pickerel, or "pike," were his favorite, and he once caught five, each of them more than 20 pounds, on five successive casts. His house still stands at 321 N. Brearly St.
President Cleveland "deftly guided his line as the fish began to bite," reportedThe New York Times, "and his patience was soon rewarded by the safe landing of a magnificent specimen of yellow bass."
Cleveland caught eight. Dunn caught more, but he was impressed. "If the wind hadn't been so strong he'd have had better success," said Dunn. "He'd give me a good tussle."
Cleveland was pleased, and afterward, when Dunn got out his flask, Cleveland gave it a good pull and said, "Anything that's good enough for Billy is good enough for me."
Cleveland was so grateful that he personally made Dunn a Madison letter carrier.
But Dunn's most famous fishing trip came four years earlier, when he and his wife were boating just off North Brearly. The couple reported that they encountered a serpent "with a body as large as a man's." They fought it off with an oar and ax handle.
Though he was mocked, Dunn was never shy about recounting the adventure. He died in 1925.

Two hundred years ago, a copper tea or coffee pot cost a working man a months' wages. Because they were expensive, they were kept clean and cared for. If cooking over a fire, a light coat of soap on the bottom and sides helped in soot removal (suggested by an Elizabethan cook book).
The originals we copy have survived for any one of many reasons. One thing is certain, they were taken care of. A copper piece was, and is, a pricey item. You would keep it clean both inside and outside to the best of your ability. Proof? The best sand for cleaning pots was imported from France! If people took the trouble to import sand from France to clean with, they really cared about their cookware! This also explains why so much early domestic cookware has exposed edges that are polished smooth. They did not start out that way! The mark of a good housekeeper was that her copperware was penny-bright.
We make all our pieces with period metal weight and joining styles. Used properly, they should last 200 years ... the originals did!
Caring for Tin-Lined Cookware
Cleaning Your Cookware
To keep the tin lining bright, we recommend using "Wright's Silver Cream" and a soft sponge (do not use an abrasive cleaner on the lining). If the tin lining darkens, it is still okay (darkness is only cosmetic, the piece is still food-safe). Please read "Colors of Metal" below for more information.
To keep the copper or brass shinning, use "Wright's Copper Cream". These products make shining copper & brass easy. But remember, it is okay to let your cookware turn a warm brown (copper), or deep red-brown (brass).
Scrub the OUTSIDE ONLY of your cookware with a Scotch Brite pad, a Brillo pad, or a sponge. Always make sure the piece is thoroughly dry before storing it.
The inside of your tin-lined cookware should be cleaned with a soft sponge or cloth. DO NOT clean the tin lining with an abrasive product - this will wear the tin lining off. Unfortunately, we do not offer re-tinning services any longer.
Colors of Copper, Brass and Tin Cookware
Bare Metal: Copper and Brass
Your copper or brass item will arrive to you with a bright bare finish – we do not coat our cookware with anything other than a little mineral oil. Bare finishes are safe to eat from and cook with.
After a while copper and brass will develop a patina. Copper will turn a warm brown or red (the color of an old penny), and brass will turn a reddish color. This patina is food safe, but can be removed if you like. Scrub your copper or brass with a Scotch Brite pad or Brillo, and warm water. Thoroughly dry the piece – if it remains wet, the tarnish will return quickly.
Below: bare copper with two types of patina on the left, and bare brass with two types of patina on the right.

When Your Cookware Turns Green
If left wet or dirty for a while, copper and brass will develop bright green-blue to grey discolorations known as verdigris. Verdigris is what gives the Statue of Liberty its greyish-green color. Verdigris is poisonous. If your copper or brass cookware shows any signs of verdigris, it is not food safe until it is cleaned. Once all the verdigris is scrubbed off, your cookware is food safe again.
Verdigris develops in the cracks where moisture collects or drips off of a piece of cookware. Check underneath the wire rims and the folds of the metal for verdigris. Always make sure your cookware is thoroughly dried before storing it.
Below are three images of verdigris developing on copper, and on the bottom right, verdigris on brass.

Image: Heavy Verdigris and Rust
Above, extremely heavy verdigris and rust on the inside of a 1630-50 kettle dug in New York. What your cookware really, really should not look like, unless it's been buried for over 200 years and there's no way food is ever touching it again!
Tin Lining
The tin we use for lining our cookware is food-grade tin and will not rust. Your tin-lined items will arrive with a bright silver finish. Tin linings will eventually turn black after use. This is normal and is completely food safe.
Below, tin lining as it will look on our products when new.
Image: Clean Tin Lining
Tin Items
18th century tin was made from iron hot-dipped in tin, and was very durable and almost rustproof. We are proud to offer all of our tin items in steel hot-dipped in tin, which is very similar to 18th century tin. Our hot-dipped tin has a more historically accurate and durable finish than modern sheet tin.
Our tin cups and other food-related items will arrive with a bright clean finish and a light coat of mineral oil. Keeping these products dry when not in use, and giving them a new coat of mineral oil every so often, will prolong their life spans. Rust is not food safe - you should retire your item from food uses when rust develops.
Our other tin products, such as inkwells, will arrive with a bright clean finish and a light coat of mineral oil. These should be kept as dry as possible. A new coat of mineral oil will help keep rust at bay.
Our tin lighting will last longer if it is not repeatedly wet. We offer tin lighting in bare, clean finishes (with light mineral oil) and in antiqued finishes (which will be tarnished and possibly lightly rusted, plus a light coat of mineral oil).

Race To The Line: Rocket Car Challenge 2020/2021
Speed Challenge
Welcome to "Race to the Line" the Global Model Rocket Car Challenge for Schools.
The Challenge has so far engaged over 100,000 year 7 students with this real world STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) learning experience. Last season an all girl team won the global final in the UK with the first 100mph model rocket car in the challenges history.
in the 2020/2021 season any school on the planet can take part as the challenge delivers a "Model Rocket Car STEAM Box" that includes everything you need to have your students design, build and race model rocket cars across your playground!
Watch the video below to see what your students will be getting involved in......
Participation Options.
- Option One - School Pay - Click the school pay button below to register your class or year group in the challenge. The Global Challenge is designed for students entering the first year of secondary education. In the UK, where a huge managed challenge has been established over the last 4 years this is year 7 (11 to 12 year olds) but around the world, where the challenge will be virtual, there is more flexibility for teachers ot use these resources in year groups to suit them. Schools can also chose to promote the challenge to the parents of their students, invite them to pay for their students to enter the challenge, then purchase the resources from the Dendrite shop to support that number of students working in teams of four.
- Option Two - Sponsor Pay - Dendrite Connect has a mission to help schools around the world access high quality STEAM Learning. Schools unable to buy the challenges can work with the Dendrite Connect team to recruit sponsorship from their local employers, colleges and universities. A school wishing to use this sponsorship model agrees to a simple partnership with Dendrite Connect.
- The school agrees to put their whole year group through the challenge once sponsored.
- The school agrees to send a letter to all parents announcing the partnership with Dendrite Connect - this standard letter is supplied to the school.
- The school agrees to add in addition to this letter, an attachment for the parents to share with their employer announcing the "Schools Connect" partnership opportunity.
- The School is issued with a special school code and each time it is used by an employer to sign up to the School Connect partnership funding goes towards supporting the school and its network through the STEAM challenges.
To Register your school for Option Two you must be the administrator of your school community in Dendrite.
If you are you will see your school listed below - just click the "register my school" button and our team will be in touch to begin the partnership.
If you do not see your school, you must register on Dendrite using the "Sign Up" button in the top right corner of this screen. Complete registration, selecting your school, and once verified as a teacher in the school by the Dendrite admin team, you will be able to return to this challenge page and register your school as described in the paragraph above.

Engel in China is celebrating a decade of continuous trading and expansion in Shanghai.
Ten years ago, the plant opened and the first large-size machine produced in Shanghai was delivered. Just in time for this anniversary, ENGEL has completed the second large expansion in the history of the plant. ENGEL celebrated both milestones in Shanghai, together with more than 500 guests including customers and partners, in mid-September.
ENGEL Shanghai celebrations
Gero Willmeroth, Sales and Service President at ENGEL Shanghai, said: "We are very proud of what we, together with our employees, have achieved here. Our customers, whom we have grown together with over the years, the management in Austria, who pave the way for us with continuous investments, and our staff, who with great dedication and enthusiastic team spirit ensure we meet the latest challenges and always provide maximum customer satisfaction."
Willmeroth thanked them all on behalf of the entire management team. He was particularly pleased that 24 of the initial employees were able to attend the anniversary celebrations. "For China, such a long period of employment with one company is still something special."
With 50 employees, ENGEL Machinery (Shanghai) began building the large-size machines for the duo series in 2007. Today the subsidiary of Austrian ENGEL employs a workforce of around 450 – and rising. "By the end of the current fiscal year in March 2018, we will employ 500 people here," says Willmeroth.
ENGEL organised an extensive programme for the anniversary and opening ceremony. Before the official speeches, guests were invited on tours of the factory and a machine demonstration. The new production hall was furnished for the gala dinner with live music in the evening.
ENGEL Machinery (Shanghai) was established as the second of three production plants in Asia. As injection moulding machines with low and medium clamping forces have been built in Korea since 2001, Shanghai was always planned as a purely large-size machine plant. Especially in Eastern and Northern China, there are many automotive suppliers with a high demand for large-size machines. In addition, there are more qualified skilled workers in Shanghai than in most other regions of the country, and the large international airport is also located here.
Dr Stefan Engleder, CEO of the Group, said: "Although our original customer base mainly consisted of large international corporations and Western-orientated companies, more and more Asian plastics processors are now among our customers. Asia – with China at the forefront – has developed from the extended workbench of the world to an extremely quality-orientated market with a huge domestic demand. We also notice this from the constant increase in demand for automated system solutions for increasingly sophisticated, highly integrated injection moulding processes. ENGEL is at home in this field and is one of the preferred partners worldwide."
As sister factory to the ENGEL large-size machine plant in St. Valentin, Austria, ENGEL Machinery (Shanghai) is subject to the strict Austrian quality management system. The work processes are identical in both plants.
"A duo machine manufactured in Shanghai can only be distinguished from one produced in St. Valentin by its name plate," says Willmeroth.
Engel's first major expansion was carried out in Shanghai in 2012. The expansion doubled production capacity. Now ENGEL has completed the second extensive plant expansion just in time for its 10th anniversary. ENGEL invested €7.5 million in the latest expansion. Two new building complexes were added. The existing office building was lengthened to create an additional 1000 m² of office space. A new production hall was also built, expanding large-size machine production by 1600 m². In addition, new offices and the training workshop are located in the new hall. It is significantly larger and more modern than the old one.
With the rapid growth in personnel over the past few years, office space had become far too tight. In addition to service technicians and sales staff, who are often distributed all over China, ENGEL is strengthening its automation and technology know-how at the site. In 2015 a dedicated automation centre was founded in Shanghai for its Chinese customers. Over the past few months application technology has been strengthened and separate business units created for Asia.

Bill Shannon's strides are as long and smooth as a panther's, but his turn as a comic MC and choreographer fell short in Sketchy, a series of vignettes using technology and talk to deconstruct street dancing. When the super-stylish Shannon glided in on his customized crutches to live-mixed beats from DJ Excess, we were hyped for some sweet moves. Instead, we got a verbal spin on the "Shannon technique" and, with the help of the Step Fenz Crew, a visual history of street dancing. A highlight was a dance version of the Olympics. Performers entered, described the tricks they would attempt, tried them, and failed (except one). Using Dartfish sports motion capture software, they ran an instant replay; each dancer analyzed his mistakes. This was fascinating, but overall Sketchy broke street dance down too much. Shannon scarcely performed his virtuosic moves, the challenging tricks didn't make it past analysis, and the group choreography rarely used the talents of the dancers.

I have a visit to Ruby Boutique planned for tomorrow. I'm in adoration of the autumn/winter 10 look book. It is very ethereal, feminine and doll like. Ruby are channeling Romeo & Juliet with pieces named after 'Montague' and 'Juliet,' and perhaps it is the look book of a very modern day Juliet.
The Angels coat has a whimsical feel to it, in sunset pink garnished with big gold buttons.
Lace features throughout, from sleeves, to bodysuits to full lace cardigans. I want to try on the Angels Dress (left), and the Montague cardigan.
Channeling lace again, the Bloom Jumper looks so sweet paired with knee high socks.
I love this turtleneck sweater dress, the Star-crossed Turtleneck, it looks cozy and perfect for lazy, rainy winter days.
The full look book can be viewed here. I may find myself visiting both the High Street and Newmarket stores to hunt down a few of these pieces.

Prune after flowering to maintain dense growth. Good disease and pest resistance. Can be pruned back hard. Allow soil to dry out between watering as Choisya prefers to be kept on the dry side and can die from over watering.

You're right, there is not a whole lot of simple discriptions. Your best bet is to just try it out. Each step at a time. It's not supposed to feel natural or comfortable. That's why it's a hardcore stretch.

i've tried this exercise. it gives a ridiculous stretch on the tunica if you leverage your wrist accordingly. though by doing this stretch i felt almost as if i was overworking my penis. maybe i just need to downgrade the amount of pull i use.

is this it? and if so, how long have you been doing the stretch, nd how often do you do it?
i think the stretch you describe is the stretch i am currently doing.is it basically grabbing behind the glans, pulling up and then almost wrapping the shaft around the wrist while your wrist is between your pelvic bone?
- 01-04-2010 #7
The original thread at MoS that gave a good description of the stretch got deleted by a server or admin error, nobody is sure. This is a very versatile and powerful stretch, and if you haven't done it before you should start super slow and light. The leverage you get is phenomenal. I read on the original thread a lot of guys gained very quickly from this stretch.
There are two main versions of this stretch, and a lot of small varieties. The first does not twist the penis, and the second version adds a 180 degree twist. The above diagram shows the basic "untwisted" version.
I'll try and give a verbal description of how to do the Mandingo/Blue Whale Stretch (it was first posted by a guy named Blue_Whale on MoS). I'll use the right hand as the stretching hand for the sake of clarity. This stretch can be done with either hand.
1. Put your right hand knuckles on the dorsal (top) side of your penis.
2. With your free left hand, place the glans (head) of your dick in the palm of your right hand, so that your shaft is between your thumb and index finger.
3. Now grab your dick with your right hand.
4. There is a number of ways you can apply pressure.
a. Push down with your knuckles.
b. Pull straight out.
c. Rotate your wrist so that your thumb moves upward. Doing this with your pinky resting on your pubic bone for leverage is very powerful.
d. A combo of all three.
So that's the "untwisted" version. Newbies start with this. Here is that same diagram so that people don't have to bother opening up new tabs:
The twisted version is almost easier to "get into," but is harder to describe. I don't know if there has been much talk on PEG about twisted/bundled stretching, but some people swear by it and the theory makes sense to me. Here's a verbal description of the twisted Mandingo/Blue Whale stretch:
1. Take your right hand and grab your dick just behind the glans in an OK grip. Your thumb and index finger should be facing your body.
2. Keep holding onto your dick and bring your hand up and around the right hand side of your dick.
3. Place your knuckles on the dorsal (top) side of your dick.
4. Apply pressure as desired.
Here is a diagram on how to get into the twisted version (view is from the front except for the last image):

the above information is very good. here is my short and sweet description of the 'bundled' (non-newbie) version:
1) grab penis near glans using overhand ok grip (palm of hand is facing floor)
2) with this grip in place, give the wrist a circular twist so that palm is now facing upward.
3) in order to keep leverage on this grip, place hand against belly (same grip, palm now facing upward)
your pinky should be firmly planted into your stomach when you've got it right.
use wrist to adjust level of tension.

this stretch is amazing and easy to do. Thanks for bringing this to my attention

Are restaurants and bloggers forming a sinister (if tacit) alliance in order to fool the dining public at large? Kinda, suggests the Wall Street Journal in a story on the new "review" paradigm created by sites such as Yelp and Chowhound.
Restaurants, says the Journal, are effectively buying positive coverage by handing out free meals that are not disclosed by the bloggers. The story digs up a representative handful of examples of online commentators quietly taking free food and raving about it, which makes for good, if not exactly shocking, reading.
Another, more novel, angle of the story is an exploration of restaurants actually (or by proxy) posting comments about themselves in the guise of diners. While not surprising (good review = customers = $$$) the WSJ piece digs down a layer further and finds a different kind of manipulation that is sometimes at work in a positive post.
Scott Rodrick, president of Rodrick Management Group, which owns and operates 20 restaurants on the East and West Coast, says that a couple of months ago he noticed several Yelp postings about how friendly the bar staff is at one of his restaurants. That struck him as suspicious: Only a short while before, he'd reprimanded the bartending team for being aloof to customers. 'I'm sure it's a case where they told their friends that 'my boss sat me down,' ' Mr. Rodrick says.
Free food, it should be said, does taste different. When the hella pricey Fogo de Chao chain opened in Minneapolis, they comped me a meal so I'd blog it on a local pulse-of-the-city group blog. The food was good and my review said as much, but I couldn't help but wonder whether I would have been so charmed had I personally been paying the bigass check.
For what it's worth: I disclosed the free eats.

The Children's Safety Network has recently posted a new, archived webinar, Safe Infant Sleep: Innovative National and State Efforts to Protect Our Youngest.
According to the Children's Safety Network:
"Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID) is the leading cause of injury fatality for those under age one. This webinar shares examples of a national framework and a state campaign to prevent sleep-related infant deaths. The webinar will begin with information about the National Action Plan to Increase Safe Infant Sleep, a theory-based approach to changing the behaviors of families and other caregivers to implement safe sleep and breastfeeding. The plan, which can inform public health initiatives and provide a way to track and share successes on a national level, was developed by the National Action Partnership to Promote Safe Sleep, a coalition of over 60 national organizations, including SUID/SIDS-focused organizations and initiatives, breastfeeding support organizations, national membership and advocacy organizations for advancing public health initiatives, MCHB program representatives, early childhood care organizations, maternal and child education and wellness organizations, health care provider organizations, media, and businesses, as well as the Children's Safety Network. Webinar participants will also learn about innovative safe sleep activities that have been implemented in Tennessee in collaboration with hospitals, community-based agencies, and first responders, and they will hear about the evaluation results of those activities."
This informative webinar, which you can view when and where you find convenient, provides insights and resources you can share with your families. You can view the webinar at the Children's Safety Network website, or visit theStrong Families AZ Home Visitor Portal, Resources tab.

Four actions that managers and leaders need to take to reduce growing pressure
18th February 2014
From catastrophe to success
- Personal resilience and emotional intelligence – is there a link?
- When will organisations really take stress seriously?
- Manage stress and mental health to improve performance
Four actions that managers and leaders need to take to reduce growing pressure
Some business leaders and members of the Government are saying that the economy and business conditions are heading in the right direction. This is probably true in some ways, but is only part of the story. Statements made may well mask a major issue you are unaware of.
We perceive that there is a serious gap in terms of understanding and acting upon, the continuous pressures that exist for those who are in employment. Our experience in working with a range of individuals and organisations, confirms that the expectations and demands made on most managers and employees, is greater than ever.
As a responsible leader, manager and employer what do you need to be doing about this? At least these four things:
- Get out into the business and have real conversations on a regular basis, to form an accurate picture of what is happening and how your people are doing? Unless you have your antennae tuned to locate pressure points, and are getting accurate information, you may perceive situations to be in a better state than you think.
- Develop regular negotiation as a principle process throughout the organisation. Too many people when asked by their bosses, or the person "in power," are taking on a workload and level of activity that is unrealistic and unsustainable. Goals and priorities are often unclear or may be the source of unnecessary conflict. If in doubt you can always ask "what can realistically be achieved here, when will it be done by, and who needs to be involved?"
- Ensure that people throughout the organisation are aware of the level and type of available external support, and understand how it works, especially involving confidentiality. Many people do not know who to talk to or where to go for confidential help, when they need it. Employee Assistance Programmes and other counselling or coaching processes, are there to be called upon when people really experience pressure and stress.
- Look for ways of cutting costs by considering what stress-related absenteeism, is costing your business or function. One of the best investments you can make, is the introduction of training, and coaching to be available for people going through major change, facing a period of high demands or reaching a critical point in a project. A small investment will enable these people to remain productive and healthy throughout this critical time.
Building in support is not a nice to do it is a necessary practice for all managers and leaders.

Building Your Energy Reservoir
Autumn, as in nature is a great time for us to put in place the things that will replenish our energy store for the cold, wet months ahead. Start eating food that is filling and healthy, e.g. soups, stews… Make time to get out in the beautiful, clear light as much as possible. Set up a programme for becoming fitter, based around something you enjoy doing.
Taking Stock
Understand what your money is doing right now, and consider ways you can invest for the near future. Produce a realistic plan so that you can spend wisely on the things, situations and people, that will enrich the most important parts of your life over Winter.
Who Energises You?
Remind yourself who the most important people you want to have in your life are. These people will provide the positive energy to help recharge your batteries. Plan how to spend more time with them. Stop investing your valuable time in those who drain the life out of you.

Artist Name
Nature painting encompasses a broad based artistic depiction of Mother Nature on the canvas. The primary subjects generally covered are trees, forests, mountains, rivers, oceans, mountains among a plethora of other flora and fauna. Additionally, nature art on canvas is often seen incorporating elements of spirituality or devotion in the backdrop of nature.
The earliest forms of nature art paintings date back to 1500 BC and emanated from the soils of ancient Greece and Egypt. Roman and Chinese traditions had a great deal of influence on nature art painting. Paintings of mountains, waterfalls, rivers, sea and lakes were predominantly the kinds of paintings that garnered much attention among art lovers.
In the sphere of nature art, AnYahh has gained much significance and attained great acclamation by establishing itself as a premier nature art gallery in Delhi. Our artists are extremely focused towards giving different art forms such as acrylic nature art new dimensions and bringing a spectrum of innovations in their scheme of things concerning nature canvas paintings. If you are an art enthusiast looking to decorate your home with the finest forms of nature art, then AnYahh- a pioneering nature painting gallery -brings the most exquisite collection under one roof.

The story of Brownwood Acres and FruitFast® is as much a part of the rolling orchard land of Northwest Michigan as is the very fruit we use in our line of healthy fruit snacks, drinks and Softgels.
Over five generations, Brownwood Acres has developed an internationally recognized product line based on the best super fruits. The business began in 1945 as a roadside market selling honey and produce from our family farm. Steady growth ensued and our company won a coveted spot on the Inc. Magazine list of the 500 fastest growing privately held companies in the United States two years in a row. Our FruitFast Tart Cherry Juice Concentrate is the Ultra Premium Tart Cherry Concentrate brand in the United States.
In 2007, Brownwood Acres leveraged it's offerings by acquiring a 50% ownership interest in CherryFlex, Inc. Products include our CherryFlex line, FruitFast Softgels, Fruit Liquids and Gels.
By using whole fruit - including the pulp and skin - in a chemical-free process with low heat and no preservatives or fillers - Brownwood Acres/ FruitFast has been able to capture the goodness of the entire fruit.
Preserving the healthful benefits of dark skinned whole fruits such as cherries, blueberries, pomegranates, red raspberries, cranberries and concord grapes has led to the development of a growing family of fruit products. Ongoing research and testing will assure that Brownwood Acres FruitFast line will continue "Delivering The Power Of Fruit".

Good practice – or How to Get an A on the Blog
Take a look at what the students did in previous years (2010 & 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014); you might even try grading a few yourself using the Rubric in the Syllabus. A lot of student efforts are pretty average (particularly when they are left to the last minute). So make sure you model your efforts on the best. You can see many examples of good practice is you scroll through the enormous amount of stuff I have posted on my blog over the years (Get an A on the Blog). There are some good words of wisdom from the TA's from previous years (2011 , 2012, 2013, 2014).
Ideas for Blog posts
There are also lots of great science blogs out there. A good portal to many of them is Science Blogs. Also good for ideas is Seed Magazine, The New York Times, National Geographic, edge.org, PSU Science and Research Penn State. But get goggling. Work the internet. Interview a scientist; there are thousands on campus. And think about your life and your major and what interests you that is science related and look into those things. If the topic doesn't interest you, its really unlikely you will do a good job.
An absolutely excellent summary of what science is about and why it civilizes
There are no set texts for this course. But I found the following easy-to-read books useful when putting the course together. They are all excellent, but Bryson is the most fun (although Olson comes a close second*), Sagan is the most important, and Burch is the most shocking.
Four excellent lectures from one of Britain's foremost scientists about the challenges facing science in the 21st century.Bill Bryson being brilliant about what he learned as a non-scientist about science and what it has discovered.*From p. 65: "There is a famous quote by Democratic presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson, who heard a woman shout to him that all the thinking people in America were with him. He replied "That's not going to be enough, Madam: I need a majority of the public."

Coughing, chest tightness, and difficulty breathing are common physiological symptoms of chronic pulmonary obstructive disease (COPD). Many patients experience psychological effects as well, particularly as the condition progresses.
"COPD becomes more disabling as the disease gets worse," said Aleksander Shalshin, MD, pulmonary critical care physician at Plainview Hospital in Long Island, New York. A person's quality of life suffers as basic tasks like getting dressed, going to work, and meeting friends become exhausting.
"People will modify their behavior to escape their symptoms," said Dr. Shalshin. "Over time they'll become more isolated, which is demoralizing and eventually causes depression."
Roughly 40 percent of people with COPD are affected by severe depression, according to the National Institutes of Health. "As their ability to breathe decreases, then the depression sets in and worsens," said Samuel A. Allen, DO, FCCP, director of the Pulmonary Hypertension Center at Beaumont Hospital in Troy, Michigan.
A May 2013 study presented at the American Thoracic Society's annual conference found that patients with severe shortness of breath were at a "significantly greater risk" for depression.
"Patients with depression often suffer from low self-confidence or self-efficacy, and early diagnosis and treatment of depression is very important for improving a patient's quality of life," said study author Lopez Jove, MD, chief of the pulmonary laboratory at the Hospital Cetrangolo in Argentina.
Difficulty breathing can trigger feelings of anxiety or panic attacks. "An anxiety disorder develops as breathing gets worse," said Dr. Allen. "Patients describe it like they're 'breathing through a small straw.' It causes panic if they can't catch their breath."
According to the authors of a 2012 study in the journal Heart & Lung: "The relationship between anxiety and breathing was experienced as a vicious cycle by some patients. Living with anxiety was challenging, and patients voiced a fear of breathlessness that could be disabling."
COPD patients with psychological symptoms can benefit from pulmonary rehabilitation, which combines physical conditioning with group support. "Pulmonary rehab puts people in a supportive environment that promotes physical activity…which allows for more self-confidence and less anxiety and depression," said Shalshin.
Friends and family can be critical in recognizing signs of depression or anxiety in people with COPD and helping them seek treatment. "It's just as important to have family support as it is to have the right medications in managing COPD," said Shalshin. "They can help with getting the person out of the house or even checking on them at home."
"People who do the best with COPD are people who stay active and go out and do things," said Ashley Henderson, MD, assistant professor of pulmonary and critical care medicine at University of North Carolina School of Medicine. "They're the ones who know how to manage the disease and have a better quality of life."

Logan's 1st Lost Tooth
In more news that happened over the summer but I haven't had time to share:
Logan lost his first baby tooth!
We were at the mall eating a quick dinner before going to a movie one evening. (In actual fact, we were hiding from our hot house in the awesome air conditioning for the evening).
When out popped Logan's tooth! (In actual fact, it didn't pop so much as fall out with a mouthful of blood). Yech... it really looked like my poor baby got punched in the mouth. But it had been loose for a long time and the adult tooth was already grown in right behind it, so we knew it was coming.
Logan got a chance to use his Tooth Fairy Pillow that I made for him in anticipation of this big moment:
It's certainly bright and colourful enough to attract the best sort of tooth fairy.
And it has his name on it just in case the tooth fairy forgets.
On the back is a large pocket for tooth fairy treasures and a small pocket in which to place the tooth.
And of course it features Logan's favourite trim - pom pom trim!
The tooth fairy came and left him a sweet note about losing his first tooth, a receipt for the tooth, $2 and a little bit of fairy dust.
I wonder what the tooth fairy will come up with for the second tooth which is on the verge of coming out any day now?

A Fairytale Takeover
I don't think you can get more 'Zeitgeisty' (yep, just made that a word) than Fairytales at the moment. With no less than 7 fairytale fable movies released this year/in production, including two Snow White movies, one with Kristen Stewert and one with Lily Collins, Jack and the Beanstalk, a 3D version of Pinocchio, Red Riding Hood with Amanda Seyfried, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, and Beastly, a Beauty and the Beast adaptation with Vanessa Hudgens, the fairytale is firmly back in vogue.
With fairytales, fables and fantasy movies creating very lucrative franchises, such as Twilight and Harry Potter, the industry is looking to this genre for 'fresh' ideas. And where movies and Hollywood lead, other industries follow. Fashion is always so closely linked to the movies of the the time, and movies play a part in fashion forecasting, creating trends, colours and silhouettes (remember the hugely popular Vivienne Westwood pirate boot resurgence around the time of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies?).
We saw a leap into the modern fairytale at Couture Fashion Week in Paris at several shows, especially Givenchy's angelic collection, and at The White Fairy Tale Love Ball, held by Natalia Vodianova at Valentino's Château (complete with a fairytale painted snow capped background). These couture catwalk trends will continue to filter through the highstreet for 2011/2012, with a gothic vs ethereal fairytale style.
While I've been recently thinking about this trend and doing a post about it, what really got me in the fairytale mood was going to see my brother's play, Little Bear, at the Camden Fringe on Monday night. Based in an enchanted forest, Ula, the Little Bear, retreats into a fairytale land to escape her real life issues, but soon discovers that your problems never really leave you behind.
There's just something about the reworked, magical, fantastical, gothic fairytale that has us hooked, and as 2011 will be all about the fairytale, you best brush up on your Hans Christian Andersen.
Little Bear runs until the 7th August (except Thursday 4th) at 7pm, with an additional matinee performance at 1pm on Saturday 6th August - St Martin's Garden, Pratt Street, NW1 0HR. All performances are outside, so bring your own drinks and picnic food, but picnic blankets are provided. And it's free!

- COMMON GROUND The film 'East Jerusalem/West Jerusalem' explores artistic community within the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
An intense police thriller, an inspiring inner-city drama, a darkly comic mystery, a gastronomical expedition: the 21st annual Jewish Film Festival has a little bit of everything.
Hosted by the Jewish Community Center of Sonoma County (JCC), this seasonal series of films, running on select Wednesdays through November at Rialto Cinemas, presents an enlightening lineup of recent films from Israel, France, Hungary, the Netherlands and the United States.
Inspired by the San Francisco Jewish Festival, the oldest fest of its kind in the world, Sonoma County's own festival is part of a movement that JCC executive director Ellen Blustein says has spread around the globe.
"We're a relatively small JCC, but we have a lot of cultural programs for anyone in or interested in the Jewish community," says Blustein. Like the center's other offerings, the festival was formed, and is still run by, a grassroots group of people.
Blustein says the JCC selects films each year that appeal to the local community. "We watch about 80 movies a year to pick the seven or eight films we end up showing," she says. Keeping up with film festivals the world over, the JCC's films are not yet in distribution, meaning all the films screened are making their North Bay premiere.
Wounded Land, the 2015 Israeli drama that opens the fest on Wednesday, Oct. 5, chronicles an intense chain of events following a suicide bombing in which the bomber survives. The film, nominated for nine Ophir Awards (the Israeli equivalent of the Oscars), comments on the unsettling effects such violence wreaks upon culture.
For audiences seeking something more light-hearted, the JFF screens the uplifting Once in a Lifetime, about a French teacher sparking inspiration in her inner-city students, on Oct. 19. Following that, on Nov. 2, the powerful East Jerusalem/West Jerusalem features a cast of American, Israeli and Palestinian artists finding common musical ground amid old tensions.
One of Blustein's favorite selections this year is Fire Birds, screening Nov. 9, in which three octogenarian widows investigate a mysterious murder with dark humor and inventive craft.
Nov. 16's presentation of Fever at Dawn offers an unlikely love story between two Hungarian Holocaust survivors, and on Nov. 30 the festival screens its quirkiest selection, Moos, a Dutch coming-of-age film that follows a wallflower who dreams of becoming an actress.
Wrapping the festival on Sunday, Dec. 4, is celebrity chef Michael Solomonov's delicious documentary, In Search of Israeli Cuisine, that goes deep into the country's current foodie revolution and presents a microcosm of diverse cultures co-existing in a compact region.

We've made it to Monday friends. Here's my Monday Mashup — a little weekend catch up and some things I'm loving that are helping me survive the first day of the work week.
1. Piedmont Park – Matt have made it there multiple times now. I love how its right off the beltline.
2. Ponce City Market — specifically this avocado toast with a fried egg from Spiller Park Coffee.
3. My nut mix inspired by my work friend Anais — your favorite nuts, unsweetened coconut and chopped dates. So tasty with just a little bit of sweet.
4. Sadie and her friend Tilly. This picture can make me smile no matter what mood I'm in.
5. New ceramic skillets from T-Fal — they are dishwasher safe which is the best.
I also made these yummy Morning Glory muffins to start the week. Hang in there — you've got this.

For a fourth straight year, Planet Granite committed to match up to $20,000 for donations to the American Safe Climbing Association (ASCA).Well, we're thrilled to announce that for a 4th time, thanks to the generous support of our members and the wider climbing community, we have surpassed our goal! In fact, total donations to the ASCA totaled more than $38,000 over two months!! Including the PG Gives Back match, that means the ASCA has almost $60,000 to put towards replacing bolts worldwide and making outdoor climbing safer for everyone! We are so thankful for everyone that attended our two main fundraisers and donated to the online auction. Below find out how professional climber (and local) Alex Honnold got involved, plus how Planet Granite Portland kicked it all off!
Alex Honnold was running late.
But he couldn't really complain, at least it was raining. Drought-plagued California needed the torrential downpour. Even if it meant the notoriously impaired San Francisco, "I-don't-know-how-to-drive-under-anything-but-sun-and-fog," drivers were making traffic a nightmare.
Alex jumped. "Dude! Aren't you late for your Planet Granite presentation!" yelled the guy in the car next to him. "Oh, and nice op-ed in the New York Times," the man finished as he passed Alex's car. "I'm writing my notes for the presentation now!" Alex protested. After showing up wet as a dog (and late), the ever-modest climber kicked off our 4th Annual ASCA Auction by sharing that story with the crowd gathered to hear him speak about his latest adventures in Yosemite. A shout from behind the San Francisco top-out boulder suddenly split the air, "Hey, that was me!"
Such is the life of the globally renown, yet beloved local (and slightly stinky – hey he just got off El Cap!)
auctioneer…err, free soloist. Planet Granite was honored to have Alex and Supertopo founder Chris McNamara help auction off some of the more than 150 items donated to PG for the ASCA fundraiser. The two expertly rattled off numbers, bidding up everything from McNamara's Tahoe home rental to El Cap speed fiend (and Alex's record-holding partner) Hans Florine's Yosemite home. "I've stayed there, I promise it's cool," affirmed Alex. When it came to auctioning off a day of climbing with another pro-climber, local Ethan Pringle, Alex acknowledged Ethan always beat him at youth comps when they were kids. "He's, like, really strong."
Other auction highlights included the Bay Area designed, folding Oru Kayak, which Alex graciously modeled and gear from Goal Zero, Patagonia, Prana, and dozens of other local and national sponsors (THANK YOU SO MUCH!!). Planet Granite Manager (and Chief Auctioneer) Eliot Carlsen got especially flustered when when his employee and co-auctioneer attempted to win the Half Dome in a Day with Jim Herson. Unfortunately, the $100 in her bank account was no match for the $800 Mr. Herson ultimately commanded. All in all, thanks to the AMAZING community that showed up, the live auction raised more than $10,500 in ONE NIGHT!
After the auction shenanigans, Alex gave a compelling presentation on his recent adventures ranging from climbing expeditions to the work he is doing with his non-profit, The Honnold Foundation, for instance bringing solar energy to remote areas of the Navajo Nation. The ever-professional Alex, then stayed for an extra hour and a half simply answering questions, signing books, and taking hundreds of selfies with community members.
The auction in San Francisco may have brought in the big bucks, but it was our Portland community that kicked it all off!
Planet Granite Portland opened the first week of November and scores of people from the greater pacific northwest came to check our our latest gym for free and learn more about the ASCA impact in Oregon. Volunteer re-bolters from Oregon manned the booth and answered questions, while Stumptown Coffee provided the drinks. Dozens of raffle tickets were sold raising more than $1300 over two days. Importantly, new and experienced climbers alike learned more about the valuable work being done by the ASCA and their army of volunteers in making sure beloved local areas like Smith Rock and Broughton's Bluff stay safe.
To our HUGE Planet Granite community. We are so thankful for all of your time, donations, and excitement over the last two months in raising money for this organization that we believe is so vital to our sport.

Her second volume of poetry, Doo-Wop Girls of the Universe, was co-winner of the Sanlam Award, and her third, Notes from the Dementia Ward, was shortlisted for the University of Johannesburg and Herman Charles Bosman prizes. She is the author of two novels, What Poets Need and Flyleaf. She has read her poetry at international festivals in Cape Town, Durban and Aldeburgh. Finuala teaches poetry and writes English text books for a living.
