Woodstock – The prettiest small town
Woodstock, Vermont. Called "the prettiest small town in America" by national publications, it is home to world class shopping, exceptional restaurants, the Woodstock Inn & Resort, Twin Farms, quaint inns and B&Bs. Woodstock is also home to a championship golf course and an array of hiking and biking options. Woodstock is the quintessential New England village, especially during autumn, with maples and birch trees alight with brilliant fall colors.
C ome to our town of firsts. Home to the first ski-tow in the United States back in 1934, it is also home to Vermont's first and only National Park- the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park. And while you are visiting our National Park it is but a brief detour to take a tour of the Rockefeller Mansion and the picturesque Billings Farm and Museum.
The heart of Woodstock, which is famous for its architecturally distinctive houses and churches, is also home to 30 miles of hiking trails up our own Mount Tom and Mount Peg and all around the village. Stroll the village green and walk across the Middle Bridge-one of three covered bridges in Woodstock, to the quiet retreat of Faulkner Park. Stop in at our independent book stores and pharmacies, and at our 125 year old general store. You won't find any chain stores, but you will find art galleries, antique shops, clothing and toy stores.
And once you have hiked and toured you will be ready to stop in one of our gourmet coffee shops and cafes which feature outdoor seating and locally grown and produced foods. We are home to many farm to table restaurants that pride themselves in bringing the locavore ethic to their menus.
Drive over the hills and through the valleys of the Woodstock area and find world renowned glass blowers, artists, potters and furniture makers. Many of these artisans offer the opportunity to watch while they create. You will also find the dairy farms that provide the milk for our nationally recognized artisan and farmstead cheeses. Or if history is your thing, visit a variety of sites such as the 13,000 year old Quechee Gorge, the Justin Morrill Homestead, or the Historic Birthplace of Calvin Coolidge down the road in Plymouth Notch.
Woodstock is a glorious and easy drive on the Crossroad of Vermont Byway which will take you along the Ottauquechee River and over the famous Quechee Gorge from both routes 89 and 91.

Bell Ringing at St John's
The Armistice 100 Years on
and The Joy of Peace
Imagine 100 years ago, the ravages of the Great War had killed hundreds of thousands across the country, as witnessed by War Memorials in almost every village in the country. Some families had the younger generation ripped out of their hearts. A massive social change as yet unseen was upon the whole nation. No radio, no TV. Word of mouth and the printed media was the only form of communication. Into this the bell-ringers, those who were left, rose up into their towers to proclaim peace.
This is what we want to remember on 11thNovember 2018. Yes, there will be the national Remembrance at the Cenotaph at 11am. At St. John's we will ring the bells half muffled. A reminder of the national grief.
Hagley Cricket Club have kindly offered to open up their pavilion and bar immediately after the church service. The Hagley branch of the Royal British Legion will be offering cups of tea and coffee by the pavilion. So do not rush away after the service as there may be long queues with the hundreds expected. There will be the also be an opportunity to donate to the Poppy Appeal.
The afternoon of Sunday 11thNovember will be different. Try to imagine the feeling of relief with the advent of peace 100 years ago. The bell tower at St. John's will be open for everyone to come and make some noise. The Hagley Hand-bell ringers will also be on hand in the church for you to have ago with their hand bells,
Do come along to St. John's on the afternoon of 11thNovember from 12:30pm. Further refreshments (including cakes) will be available in the church. Younger children will be most welcome to use the resources there to play with. Extra car parking will be available. And now with the Wychury room we have full facilities for disabled persons.
See you there.

David Koepp has signed on to write the script for the upcoming Rob Marshall remake of The Thin Man, Deadline reports.
Set for Johnny Depp to headline, the project is based on the popular 1934 film that starred William Powell and Myrna Loy, in turn based on the novel by Dashiell Hammett. In this version, Depp will play Nick Charles, a private detective married to a wealthy socialite, Nora. The pair, along with their dog, Asta, work together to solve cases. The original film spawned five sequels and a television series.
Though the titular "thin man" of the first film was a reference to a corpse that begins the story, the title, much like the "Pink Panther" series, became more of a reference to Nick himself, beginning with the first sequel, The Thin Man Returns.
One of Hollywood's A-list scribes, Koepp's credits include Jurassic Park, Spider-Man and War of the Worlds. Upcoming projects includes Premium Rush and Men in Black III.

Seacrest interviews Armstrong during On Air With Ryan Seacrest on her writing a book about her estranged husbands death.
I can understand that, it was a hot minute for her. It was 6 years of abuse for me. So, it didn't seem like such a hot minute in my opinion. I can't bring my husband back. I loved him, if I could, I would. I didn't write this book for Brandi, I wrote it for all the people that are living in these situations.

Portland is home to some of the most fun filled events you can partake in during the Spring and Summer months. In true Portland style, many of these events and festivals are celebrated by all sorts of people from a vast range of communities. One of those events is the General Electric/SOLVE Starlight Parade! Celebrating its 40th Birthday this year, this event is going to be one of the biggest must-sees of the 2017 Rose Festival!
Taking place tomorrow (Saturday, June 3rd) at 8:30 PM, the Starlight Parade is definitely a family-friendly event offering funky, eclectic fun. Encompassing all sorts of "Keep Portland Weird" spectacle, this event will feature Portland's diversity, glow-in-the-dark-umbrellas, flood-lit floats, marching bands and a lot more. There is going to be a pageant too, so expect to see some made-up faces at the event (and if you're in a fun mood, when not join in on the face painting melee?)!
A little history
During the early 1900s, the first illuminated floats made their way to city, built on electric trolley cars. This started the tradition of the Starlight Parade. The highlight of the parade is the close to 100 entries of illuminated floats that cover a route of 2.2.5 miles lighting up the Portland skyline. Each year, the parade draws more than 325,000 spectators from near and far to downtown Portland. The event is also viewed by thousands of people live on FOX12 where it is broadcasted between 9:00-11:00 PM.
The sections of the parade
Just like every year, the parade is going to have different sections. This year's parade, however, is going to dazzle a lot more. Why? Because it's celebrating it's 40th birthday!
The kick-off event will be with the Spirit of the West. This section aims to revive the tradition which started in the first Rose Festival, where floats represent various communities and regions throughout the West. The second section will bring you Brilliant Communities, which proudly showcases the outstanding volunteer and community spirit in the Rose City and beyond.
As the evening progresses (and lights get brighter), the parade will move to its second half, which will bring us to the third section of the event – Classic Brilliance by All Classical Portland. Finally, the last section of the parade is going to be all about fun! Portlandia, by CareOregon, will feature John 'Elvis' Schroder, Portland's most beloved street performer, who is also titled as the 2017 Starlight Parade Grand Marshal!
Admission to the parade is free, so you don't need to worry about booking your seats. Just get your friends and family out a little earlier to find a great spot and prepare yourself for a twinkling evening full of fun, merriment and tons of Portland-esque amazements!

Two months ago, we thought that the unprecedented implosion in US commercial real estate in the month of April following the near-uniform economic shutdown following the coronavius pandemic, manifesting in the surge in newly delinquent CMBS loans would be one for the ages, even though as we predicted May would likely be worse as a result of the spike in specially services loans.
And indeed while April was ugly, May was even worse. But both pale in comparison to what the latest June remittance data.
First, the good news: as Trepp writes in its latest monthly CMBS remittance report, at one point in June, it appeared that a new all-time high for CMBS delinquencies would be reached. However, when the final numbers were posted, the 2012 high of 10.34%, a fraction higher than the current level, remains the peak for the time being.
Next, the not so good news: the latest, June, Trepp CMBS Delinquency Rate was 10.32%, a jump of 317 basis points over the May number. About 5% of that number represents loans in the 30 days delinquent bucket while another 3.2% are now 60 days delinquent. And while the 2012 high remains the record for now, it won't be for long, as the numbers are headed still higher in July.
That's because 4.1% of loans by balance missed the June payment but remained less than 30 days delinquent. That percentage of loans in or beyond grace period (the A/B loans) has fallen from 8.1% in April and 7.6% in May.
An optimistic take on the data is that perhaps we have reached terminal delinquency velocity – meaning most of the borrowers that felt the need for debt service relief have requested it. (Put another way, if a borrower didn't need relief in April, May, or June there is a good chance the borrower won't be needing it), although maturity defaults could still be an issue.) If that is the case, the expectation would be that the increases in the delinquency rate going forward should be smaller than what we saw in May and June. Alternatively, if the fiscal cliff hits at the end of July without a replacement stimulus, expect a second wave - if not of virus infections - then certainly of new commercial real estate delinquencies.
Some other overall statistics:
The percentage of loans with the special servicer grew from 6.07% in May to 8.28% in June. According to June servicer data, 20.5% of all lodging loans were in special servicing, up from 16.2% in May, which is why some have suggested that the next Big Short in CRE will be the CMBX Series 9 which is especially heavy on hotel loans.
In addition, 14.3% of retail loans are with the special servicer, up from 9.3%.
The Overall Numbers
- The overall US CMBS delinquency rate climbed 317 basis points in June to10.32%. (The all-time high on this basis was 10.34% registered in July 2012.)
- The % ofA/B loans (i.e. loans in grace period or beyond grace period) was 4.1% in June.
- Year over year, the overall US CMBS delinquency rate is up 748 basis points.
- The percentage of loans that are seriously delinquent (60+ days delinquent, in foreclosure, REO, or non-performing balloons) is now 6.25%, up 408basis points for the month.
- If defeased loans were taken out of the equation, the overall 30-day delinquency rate would be 10.88%, up 332 basis points from May.
- One year ago, the US CMBS delinquency rate was 2.84%.
- Six months ago, the US CMBS delinquency rate was 2.34%.
The CMBS 2.0+ Numbers
- The CMBS 2.0+ delinquency rate jumped 317 basis points to 9.36% in June. The rate is up 840 basis points year over year.
- The percentage of CMBS 2.0+ loans that are seriously delinquent is now 5.27%, which is up 417 basis points from May.
- If defeased loans were taken out of the equation, the overall CMBS 2.0+ delinquency rate would be 9.85%, up 331 basis points for the month.
Overall Property Type Analysis (CMBS 1.0 and 2.0+)
- The industrial delinquency rate fell 25 basis points to 1.57%.
- The amount of industrial loans categorized as A/B in June: 1.55%.

Since taking over the Bournemouth Blogger Network last November, Ed's kind of gotten used to me being invited to events, and it isn't often he is phased by my sometimes hectic social calendar. However, when the invite came through for the VIP launch event for the newest Chinese restaurant to open in Bournemouth, his eyes lit up when I told him I was able to bring a plus one.
Ed absolutely loves Chinese food, but I am not as keen, so we rarely ever get a Chinese takeaway, and have never been to an actual restaurant for Chinese food before. 1805 is situated on Beacon Road, just up from the Bournemouth International Centre, and serves a la carte Chinese cuisine in an elegant venue complete with an outside terrace area, which is perfect for al fresco dining this summer.
Ed and I arrived slightly late as I was coming straight from working at a festival, and when we walked in, the venue was already bustling with people there to celebrate the launch night. We were handed chilled glasses of prosecco, and met up with the lovely Jaye and her boyfriend Connor, who I have met a couple of times before at Bournemouth Blogger events.
Restaurant staff walked around offering plates of delicious canapés including vegetable spring rolls, breaded shrimp balls, prawn toast, mini duck and hoisin pancakes and prawn crackers. Our glasses were also kept topped up as we mingled amongst the guests and headed outside onto the terrace for the grand ribbon cutting, speeches and the traditional dragon dance.
I had no idea what to expect from this, having never witnessed one before, and let me start by saying it was very loud! I found it really interesting to watch, as there was a real art to it. The dragon's are extremely intricate, and the dancers moved expertly to the beat. It was an experience I won't forget!
After the opening ceremony was over, we were shown to our tables, and presented with a delicious selection of food to share amongst our group. I was a little apprehensive about the food, not being a huge fan of Chinese food usually, and having not eaten it in a restaurant before.
I need not have worried, as I loved almost all of the food. We had both cutlery and chopsticks at our place setting, and I decided I wanted to give the chopsticks a go. Ed tried to teach me how to use them, but I don't think I quite got the hang of it. I did manage to keep using them though, and I was quite proud of myself for embracing something new, something that would have made my anxiety spike in the past.
The meal was lovely, and afterwards we were presented with delicious looking mango desserts and a beautiful platter of fruit to share. I wasn't a huge fan of the texture of the dessert (it was a bit like a blancmange), so I gave mine to Ed, but I loved the fruit – so yummy and refreshing after the main course.
I really enjoyed the evening, and will definitely return with Ed, as he loved the food and the design and ambience of the restaurant.
I was invited along the the VIP launch event for 1805 by Sunny Bird PR, however all opinions and images are my own.

One word defined in Keywords for Children's Literature by Philip Nel and Lissa Paul is "America". This word is described by the shared values among US citizens, such as freedom, bravery, liberty, and democracy, and "Americanization" came to signify the degree to which immigrants altered their customs and values in accordance with the dominant view of Americanness at the time. The two pieces that I will be discussing, the book Meet Kirsten and the song This is America, have two very differing opinions of what the word "America" represents. In the American Girl book Meet Kirsten, Kirsten is a young girl who immigrates with her family to America from Sweden. Her family is moving to America to help their Uncle Olav work the land on his new farm. Kirsten's parents believe that America will bring new opportunities into their lives, and that it will be a fresh start for the family. Overall, Kirsten and her family seem nervous, yet excited to begin their new life in America. On the contrary, the song This is America by Childish Gambino, speaks to the injustices that go on in America everyday, that people seem to ignore and turn a blind eye to. The song and music video bring up issues such as gun violence and injustices to African Americans, that have plagued the nation lately, while he repeatedly sings "This is America" as the violent acts occur. This is America has received a lot of public recognition and even won "Record of the Year" at the 2019 Grammy's. Through Meet Kirsten and This is America, we are given two varying opinions on what the word "America" truly represents to different groups.
3 thoughts on "Keyword: America"
I think its interesting to think about the different times that these took place. Meet Kirsten took place a long time ago while This is America is a recent song/video. I bet that during both times there are people who have opposing opinions on what America is and what it feels to be American. Good job!
I think the connection you made between Kirsten's story and the song This is America was very interesting. It is amazing to see America represented in two completely different ways, one that is very positive, and the other that is quite the opposite. I think that both Kirsten's story and the song speak valuable messages about America, showing that it can be a land for pursuing hopes and dreams, however it can also be a place of violence and injustices. This shows that it is important to recognize all that America stands for, and not turn a blind eye to the injustices that occur. I thought your post touched on a very unique connection, something that I had not thought about!
Cassandra –
I enjoyed your comparison of medias you chose. I think this is a great representation of the thoughts on America. I think a lot of the values and feelings discussed in "Meet Kristin," still stand today. They embody the American Dream; moving to America with high hopes of starting a successful life. I think this book shows the stereotype of what America is expected to be. On the other hand, "Who is America," shows the realities of America being injustice and prejudices. Especially for people who are minorities or not natural born citizens, this song is especially relevant. Opportunities are limited, the focus of media is skewed, and a majority of people have become numb to these concepts.
I'd like to think that one day the definition of America will turn back to the values and ideas seen in "Meet Kirsten," but I'm not sure this is possible. What are your thoughts on this?

We are mandated by legislation to be a minimum-cost and cost-efficient service provider. But keeping costs low is only one part of our fiscal obligations. We are also ensuring that we invest in providing safe and reliable services not just today but for decades to come.
The past year saw a significant increase in our capital expenditure, to $447 million from $340 million in 2017/18. Work commenced or was completed on many of our capital projects including the Pukekohe Trunk Sewer Upgrade ($45 million), Army Bay Wastewater Treatment Plant Outfall Upgrade ($31 million) and the new Warkworth Wells Water Treatment Plant and network improvements ($30 million). Construction has also commenced on the 13-kilometre Central Interceptor wastewater tunnel, Hūnua 4 Watermain, North Harbour Watermain and the Northern Interceptor.
Despite our capital expenditure being at an all-time high, our debt has risen by only $84 million, to $1.7 billion. This is primarily due to a lower annual capex spend against budget, our lower than budgeted interest charge, strong operating surplus and efficient management of cash flow to repay debt.
In 2018/19, we continued to exceed our revenue target. For this year, our revenue was $715 million, exceeding a target of $651 million, due to higher levels of demand from customers and increased residential development across the region.
The impact of weather on our operations, and consequently on unforeseen operational costs, was a challenge. To keep up with demand, the ongoing dry weather and rainfall deficit has meant more production from the Waikato Water Treatment Plant instead of our water storage dams in the Hūnua Ranges. Water from the Waikato River has to be pumped using electricity and, as a result, costs more to supply than the gravity-fed water from our storage dams.
The dry weather also impacted the functioning of the digesters at our Māngere Wastewater Treatment Plant. The digesters experienced a temporary bacterial imbalance and while they were nursed back to health, sludge had to be transported to landfill at a cost of $1.2 million.
We continued to proactively explore opportunities for efficiencies across the business and achieved just under
$7.7 million in efficiency gains. Efficiency for us means delivering best value for money and doing more with less. Some of the initiatives in this area include in-sourcing of our after-hours contact centre to bring the function back within the business. This has optimised the use of our people and improved the way we prioritise faults and assign crews for dealing with them, saving us $0.3 million in the process.
Further efficiency savings of $1.9 million were achieved in the procurement of chemicals, including lime and polymers. In addition, a saving of $0.2 million was also achieved with a change to a dual-sourcing strategy for the purchase of chemicals where our suppliers will compete yearly on price and best value.
We have invested significantly in our enterprise-wide Strategic Transformation Programme to deliver better tools and systems for our business. The next few years will see us reaping the benefits of this investment through better use of our staff, increased productivity and more efficient processes and systems.
Another area that will deliver efficiency gains for us over the coming years is the enterprise model for infrastructure programme delivery which will see us partnering with two construction companies to deliver our 10-year infrastructure programme. This model will deliver benefits through standardisation of designs, secure the pipeline of work and promote innovation. We aim to leverage the scale and scope of our programme to achieve 20% savings through cost efficiencies.
We are also looking to use our industry expertise to expand our business. We have signed a contract with Waikato District Council to provide water and wastewater services to the region. We are also in discussions with a number of large organisations about managing their water and wastewater systems. Increasing compliance regimes are driving active conversations in this space and we are confident that we can lend our expertise in supporting businesses regionally and nationally.
Auckland is growing at a rapid pace and this is reflected in the increasing demand for water and wastewater services.
Over the next decade we expect to invest $5.5 billion in capital projects to meet this demand and to maintain or improve levels of service to existing customers.
The way we pay for this infrastructure is through a combination of revenue from water and wastewater charges, Infrastructure Growth Charges, and external borrowing.
The long life of our assets means any new infrastructure is likely to serve several generations of Aucklanders. Balancing these funding sources and managing our debt ensures that future generations are not unduly burdened by the cost of growth or constrained by under-investment in essential infrastructure.
In July 2018, we dis-established our treasury function and began utilising Auckland Council's centralised treasury team. This enabled us to borrow at a lower cost of funds and saved us $7.4 million in interest costs during the 2019 financial year. This is particularly significant as our capital investment in 2018/19 is the highest it has ever been at $447 million.
By carefully managing our debt levels, we are ensuring that our services remain affordable to the communities we serve and are strengthening our shareholder Auckland Council's financial position.

Unfounded and Unrestrained: Norman Finkelstein at NYU
by Bobby Miller
On Thursday, April 26, the NYU Politics Department hosted an event titled "Norman Finkelstein at NYU on the Urgent Situation in Gaza."
Finkelstein, a man who has referred to Nobel Laureate and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel as the "clown of the Holocaust" is a well-known political scientist and frequent critic of the Jewish state.
At the event, cosponsored by radical organizations Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) and Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), Finkelstein unleashed a barrage of verbal attacks and slanders against the IDF. He particularly criticized Israel's actions since the start of the 2018 Gaza border protests, otherwise known as the "Great March of Return."
Finkelstein argued that Hamas is not dangerous in spite of the fact that the Islamist group has killed thousands of innocent civilians and is regarded as a terrorist organization by both the United States and the European Union.
Related coverage
Finkelstein maintained that Hamas is merely a weak extremist group and that Israel exaggerates its capabilities in order to justify its actions in Gaza. Furthermore, Finkelstein questioned why Israel did not destroy Hamas' rockets preemptively in previous operations if it knew the full extent of Hamas' capabilities, despite the fact that numerous human rights reports have noted that Hamas uses women and children as human shields to protect the rockets, by embedding them, along with its terror tunnels, in civilian areas.
Finkelstein's vitriolic diatribe concluded with his assertion that Israel has "no right to use any force" against the hordes of violent Palestinian demonstrators trying to breach its border with Gaza and no right to defend its own sovereignty, a right that every nation-state on earth maintains.
Finkelstein then ventured into antisemitic territory, when he used Nazi imagery to describe Israeli policy, comparing Gaza to a "concentration camp." Finkelstein continued by calling Israeli soldiers "assassins picking off children" and claimed, without providing a shred of substantiating evidence, that Israel is "poisoning kids."
It is unfortunate that an institution like the Wilf Family Department of Politics at NYU, which prides itself on giving "students the skills needed to reach a deeper analytical understanding of political events that is grounded in logic and evidence" would host such an inflammatory speaker, exacerbating existing hostility toward pro-Israel students.
This is especially true in light of recent developments on NYU's campus.
On Friday, April 27, two protesters were arrested at a "rave" organized by the two Zionist clubs on campus, Realize Israel and TorchPAC, in honor of Israel's 70th birthday. The event was held in Washington Square Park.
One of the anti-Israel students who was detained was arrested for burning an Israeli flag. He faced charges of second-degree reckless endangerment and resisting arrest. The other student taken into custody faced charges of disorderly conduct, robbery in the second degree, assault in the third degree, and criminal mischief in the third degree. They were both ultimately released without bail.
The goal of these activists is to "make being Zionist uncomfortable on the NYU campus" according to NYU SJP President Khalid Abu Dawas. This brazen attack on free speech seemed to be sanctioned by the politics department when it decided to provide Finkelstein a platform for his elongated harangue without a pro-Israel speaker to counter the claims being made. One can only hope that such incendiary and fictitious rhetoric will not be given a platform by the NYU administration without proper contextualization in the future.

Carole Lewis
For Carole Lewis, the decision to attend the inaugural First Place meeting in 1981 was made as a last resort. Her years of fad dieting now seemed like an endless ride on the weight-loss yo-yo, and she still carried the same extra twenty pounds. The sun was setting on her thirty-ninth year, and the idea of being "fat and forty" made her shudder. The Bible-based weight-loss program had been envisioned by members of her church, First Baptist Church of Houston, TX. She never dreamed that the program would transform not only her body, but the course of her life.
Lewis had been involved in church for most of her life. She had even been on the administrative staff at FBC Houston since 1977, but, secretly fearing that he would send her to Africa or China, she had never made the conscious decision to seek and submit to God's purpose for her life. In 1984, God began to break Lewis' stubborn will. Her husband's fork-lift company was in financial trouble, and the Texas oil boom had just gone bust. Personal bankruptcy was imminent, and she was not ready to trust the Lord and his plans for the future. When the pastor preached a sermon encouraging Christians to be "willing to be made willing," Lewis knew that it was finally time to surrender the reins of her life and give the Lord total control. Soon God began to show her his purpose for her life --- to help people deal with their problems.
In the mid-1980's, Dottie Brewer, the first director of First Place, began to experience some health problems, so Lewis (who was, in Dottie's words, "the last person I would have chosen to take over this ministry") stepped in to help lead the program. God began to grow and equip her for the work, and in 1987 she became the new national director. Soon she began communicating the program's principles through the books and materials that have come to define it. "Beth Moore is a member of our church, and she has told us that she always knew she would write. Well, I always knew that I didn't want to write," Lewis laughs. "But, in 1996 I began to think that Dottie, who had passed away years before, would be so mad at me for not capturing the history of the program." The first book, CHOOSING TO CHANGE, came to her at 3:00 a.m. while she was on a First Place trip. Since that time, she has become a prolific and successful author.
On Thanksgiving night in 2001, Lewis' daughter Shari was killed by a drunk driver, leaving a husband and three teenage girls. During this time, Scriptures memorized through the First Place program became her lifeline. Lewis has penned eight books since that day including A THANKFUL HEART and THE MOTHER-DAUGHTER LEGACY, written with Shari's oldest daughter, Cara. Other titles include FIRST PLACE, BACK ON TRACK, THE DIVINE DIET, two devotional books --- TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY (written six weeks after Shari's death) and LIVING WELL --- and the newest version of the First Place materials, FIRST PLACE 4 HEALTH. A warm, transparent and humorous communicator, Lewis is a popular speaker at conferences, fitness weeks and workshops, where she finds great joy in fulfilling God's purpose in her life --- to teach the principle of life balance taught in Mark 12:30: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength.
Ten years ago Lewis' husband Johnny was diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer and given a year and a half to live. But God had a different prognosis. Carole and Johnny will celebrate forty-nine years of marriage in June and fully expect to spend their fiftieth anniversary together as well. The couple lives in the Galveston Bay area where their favorite pastimes include watching the sunset, spending time with their kids Lisa and John and daughter-in-law Lisa and spoiling their eight grandchildren and one great-grandson. The ministry of First Place 4 Health has become a family endeavor, with John and both Lisas serving as cooks on the program's spa weekends.

You know how it is a national past time for us chicks to judge each other's choices, (Shut up, you know it's true) and how if someones choice is different to our own, sometimes things tend to go feral, especially in the digital age?
Well I, for one, admire those women who are comfortable in their choices. The ones who rock a turban, who have chosen not to colour their hair and are rewarded with a glorious grey shade and those who wear age inappropriate clothes because it makes THEM feel good. Those who choose to have children later in life. Those who chose not to have kids at all!
The choice is up to you.
But what's with those who don't agree with your choice? Look, I am not perfect but as I am getting older (and hopefully wiser) it is becoming apparent to me that my judgement of others should mean jack shit to them. I have felt my judgey thoughts rise up when presented with something (that I consider to be) questionable, and have had to check my Judge Judy-ness at the door. But then there is times were I myself, are judged.
A recent example I wish to share with you. A boring, yet interesting case study if you will indulge me.
Recently I had a pedicure. My pedicures are practically a medical procedure and I am still lobbying the government to cover it under medicare. Anyway, I pick colour and plonk myself down for a thorough seeing to. I started chatting to the lady next to me, who was very friendly. She asked me what colour I had chosen and I showed her the very dark blue (Russian Navy) that would adore my talons.
Her face contorted to a look that one might expect when greeted with an elevator fart. You know what I am talking about right? Flared nostrils combined with a wide eye?
"Yuck!" she spat out.
A few years ago I would have been mortified, and would have questioned my choice. But now, I am happy with my (obviously very important) decisions and recognise that her reactions were because she was actually questioning her own (obviously very important) choice of which shade she should choose.
I call this The Pedicure Theory.
The Pedicure Theory is a very interesting and useful one to adhere to in many facets of adulthood. When you question someone else choice, you are really doubting your own. This is particularly prevalent when it comes to raising kids, which is now called "parenting". Breastfeeding, bottle feeding, co-sleeping, attachment parenting, helicopter parenting, the list goes on and on and on.
So next time Judy jumps into your head, and your face is starting to look a little "smelling a stinging fart", stop and put the onus back on yourself. Because someone else choices is really none of your business.*
Are you secure with the choices you make in your life?
Is there a little Judge Judy in you?

3 DOF Motion Platform Project
This 3DOF motion platform is using a mobile top weight-balanced system. A telescopic support is located at gravity center with surrounded compression spring that holds most of platform and passenger weight. Heave movement is obtained from telescopic support and compression spring length variation. The result provides a total of 13 in. [33 cm] of heave.
Universal joint made with hard wood is installed between central support and top platform allowing platform to pivot in any angle direction within ± 42 degrees.
A recycled PC case is used to house the Axon microcontroller that runs my universal motion control program. Axon receives data from my Main C# program via USB and control six motors position through packetized serial port to motor drivers Syren25 bus (even if only 4 installed and 3 used). See the inside platform controller.
(Click on picture for details)
Axon microcontroller runs PID, measures motor currents, reads position angles, position limit switches and platform control panel switches as well. The software closed loop process time can reach 1 ms when only 3 motors are computed.
Maximum heave of ± 6.5 in. [±16.5 cm] (limited by gear diameter) can be reduced to provide maximum tilt angle of 42°. Pitch and Roll maximum angle can be adjusted independently to meet pilot sensation preference. Flight accelerations cues are improved from the motion platform with the use of Washout filters algorithms explained on page 7.
Next coming step will be to install a decent seat. For now, a plastic outdoor chair with cut legs will be used. This kind of chair is comfortable, cheap and the most important thing is its very light weight.
A foot rest & rudder pedals, display support, yoke & throttle and the platform control panel are installed on a vertical mounting support made with hard wood. Those accessories can be seen in my video library. (Page 5 of this web site)
The final step was to build a generic cockpit as illustrated on page 6 and add a surround viewing field of view as depicted on page 8.

User Review( votes)
This dill and chilli shrimp is a classic at my parent's house. It's incredibly quick and easy to make and is always a hit at dinner parties and you usually have most of the ingredients at home.
Dill as we all know goes great with seafood, and this dish is no exception. And using a combination of both dill seed and fresh dill and great depth of flavour. The dill seed add hints of anise and caraway (if you can't get dill seed you can substitute it with caraway seed) while the fresh dill adds hints of lemon and and anise.
One of the things I actually love about this dish is the hint of sweetness you get from both the tomatoes and the and the shrimp. That sweetness combined with the freshness of the dill makes for a very refreshing dish that works year round.
This is definitely one those dish that once you've made it will become part of the permanent repertoire.

Be 'bear aware'
Bears have been sighted recently in and around Somersett. So, be "bear aware" year-round and bring your bird feeders in at night and keep your trash cans locked up.
Call the NDOW's bear hotline – 775-688-2327 – "when you have a human-bear conflict that has not been successfully remedied by removal of all human food attractants." NDOW has a successful behavior modification program which teaches bears to avoid humans. For more information, read NDOW's Bear Logic post here. Or see this video on NDOW's Facebook page.
This post was written for Somersett by Jessica Heitt, Urban Wildlife Coordinator at the Nevada Department of Wildlife
Black bears wander into Somersett on occasion, usually on the hunt for food. Black bears are omnivorous, with roughly 85% of their diet being plants. They have an incredible sense of smell, with the ability to smell food from up to 10 miles away.
To prepare for hibernation in the fall, bears go through hyperphagia, a state in which their full-time job is to eat and get as fat as possible. During this time a bear can eat up to 20,000 calories a day, which is the equivalent of 66 cheeseburgers!
After bears have obtained an adequate fat layer, they will find a den for winter. Many factors trigger hibernation, including daylight, food availability, and weather. On the other hand, if food is available or the winter is mild, they may not hibernate at all.
Concerns we see with black bears in urban areas come from them accessing human sources of food such as garbage, fruit trees or bird feeders. To prevent these issues, pick ripened fruit as soon as possible, bring bird feeders inside at night, and make sure that your vehicles are locked and the windows are completely rolled up at night.
If you should find a bear in your yard, scare it off by banging pots and pans, or shouting. Report sightings to our bear hotline at 775-688-2327. While hiking, make lots of noise so as to not surprise a bear. If you see one, appear as large as possible, attempt to scare it away, and back away slowly, do not run. Bears can reach running speeds of up to 30 miles per hour.
With its open spaces, mountain views and proximity to wilderness, Somersett provides a beautiful place to live, for humans and wildlife alike. Enjoy the experience you have with these animals, and remember that a little preparation can go a long way in preventing conflicts.
Wildlife-resistant can: If bears have accessed your garbage can, consider ordering a "wildlife resistant'' can with a latch. For more information, call Waste Management at 775-329-8822.

8.110690 - CHOPIN: Mazurkas (Friedman) (1928-1930)
Great Pianists Ignaz Friedman
Complete Recordings, Vol. 3
Ignaz Friedman was born, as was Josef Hofmann, in Podgorze, a suburb of Krakow, Poland, in 1882. His father was a musician who played in a local theatre orchestra and after piano lessons with a local teacher Flora Grzywinska, Friedman left Krakow in 1900 to study composition at the Leipzig Conservatory with Hugo Riemann. It was not until 1901, when he was already nineteen, that he decided to go to Vienna for lessons with Theodore Leschetizky. As with Moiseiwitsch, Leschetizky was not enthusiastic when the young Friedman presented himself, but after three years of study (also becoming Leschetizkys teaching assistant), Friedman was ready to make his Vienna début in November 1904 at which he played the D minor Concerto of Brahms, Tchaikovskys First Concerto and the E flat Concerto of Liszt. This début launched a touring career that began in 1905, and for the next forty years Friedman seemed to be perpetually on tour; he visited the United States twelve times, South America seven times, and Europe every year, as well as Iceland, Turkey, Egypt, South Africa, Palestine, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. Although he did not often perform chamber music in public he collaborated with the greatest instrumentalists of the day, Casals, Huberman, Feuermann, Morini, Elman, Auer and Ysaÿe, and performed under the batons of Dorati, Gabrilowitsch, Mengelberg and Nikisch.
Until 1914 Friedman lived in Berlin but after the First World War he settled in Copenhagen. Friedmans first visit to America was in 1920 and in April 1923 he made his first records for the American Columbia Company. After extensive and exhaustive touring, the onset of the Second World War meant Friedman had to move again, as Scandinavia was not a safe home for him. The Australian Broadcasting Commission invited him for a tour and during the early 1940s he played and broadcast regularly in Australia and New Zealand. Partial paralysis of his left hand made him retire in 1943 (he was only just over sixty) and he died in Sydney in January 1948.
Probably Friedmans most famous recordings are the set of a dozen Chopin Mazurkas he recorded for the Columbia Company in London in 1930. These classic recordings are imbued with Polish spirit and are a lesson in the subtleties of rhythmic rubato. Although the performances sound natural and inspired, the recordings of this selection of Mazurkas were fraught with difficulties. On 10th October 1929 Friedman recorded two takes of each Mazurka and three of Op.63 No.3 and Op.67 No.2, but these were all rejected, so on the 15th October he tried two more takes of Op.7 and three more of Op.67 No.4 and Op.68 No.2. All were rejected, and it was not until February 1930 that he was able to record again all the twelve Mazurkas, two takes of each side. For some reason all of these sides were rejected; so far Friedman had recorded forty sides of Mazurkas, none of which were approved for release.
Seven months later on 13th September 1930, Friedman recorded two or three more takes of each side and from this session a take of each was approved, with the exception of Op.41 No.1. Four days later at the end of a session where he recorded some of Mendelssohns Songs without Words, Friedman made two more takes of this Mazurka and approved the last take nine. The fact that Friedman made seven, eight and in some cases nine takes of each Mazurka leads one to question why this was the case. Could he really have been dissatisfied with his performances after six or more attempts? Friedman was a very impulsive and spontaneous player and sometimes his playing could sound exaggerated as a critic commented in 1928: "This exaggeration of speed, which appeared again in the Chopin group, where several times he rushed an accelerando in a way that destroyed its own effect, had counterparts in other exaggerations of dynamic gradation and expression. The difference between piano and forte was extreme "
In the days of recording 78s problems were often caused by the recording process itself; even if an artist approved a side for release, if it was not technically acceptable to the engineers it would not be published. As Bryan Crimp has discovered, the reasons for so many attempts at recording these twelve Mazurkas were purely technical. In fact, the recordings from the first session of October 1929 were approved by Friedman, but the engineers described the surfaces as rough and snappy, so the sides were not released. Although the first few sessions were recorded in the acoustically superior Central Hall, Westminster, the sides that were eventually published were recorded in Columbias Petty France studios.
Some of the earlier takes have survived as test pressings and in the case of Op.41 No.1 the approved take was published in Britain, but in America take two from the first session of October 1929 was published so a comparison can be made.
At the end of January 1928 Friedman was in London where he gave a recital at the Royal Albert Hall in which he played Mozarts Rondo in A minor, Brahms Variations and Fugue on a theme of Handel and a Chopin group. Columbia unfortunately did not ask him to record the Mozart or Brahms but instead asked for encore pieces and arrangements. The recording of Glucks Gavotte in an arrangement by Brahms comes from a recording session of 9th February 1928, a session that also included a recording of Friedmans own Barcarolle that was not issued. Friedman as arranger of Gluck was recorded the next day in the guise of the Minuet from the Judgement of Paris and a few weeks later he recorded his arrangement of Schubert titled Alt Wien. Liszt had arranged some of Schuberts music as nine Soirées de Vienne, Valses-Caprices daprés Franz Schubert and Friedman published two in similar vein as Alt-Wien zwei Walzersuiten nach Tanzen von Franz Schubert bearbeitet von Ignaz Friedman. They were published in 1928 (the year of the recording) and both are heard, one on each side of the original disc. As in Friedmans inimitably Polish Mazurkas one can again hear Friedmans natural and instinctive rhythm, this time of old Vienna, and it is a great pity that his recordings of his own arrangements of Strauss Waltzes made in 1931 have not survived.
It is interesting to hear Friedman speak briefly in a New Zealand radio broadcast, but sad to think that of the many recitals and concertos he recorded for Australian and New Zealand radio, none have survived.

Ward Marston
In 1997 Ward Marston was nominated for the Best Historical Album Grammy Award for his production work on BMGs Fritz Kreisler collection. According to the Chicago Tribune, Marstons name is synonymous with tender loving care to collectors of historical CDs. Opera News calls his work revelatory, and Fanfare deems him miraculous. In 1996 Ward Marston received the Gramophone award for Historical Vocal Recording of the Year, honouring his production and engineering work on Romophones complete recordings of Lucrezia Bori. He also served as re-recording engineer for the Franklin Mints Arturo Toscanini issue and BMGs Sergey Rachmaninov recordings, both winners of the Best Historical Album Grammy. Born blind in 1952, Ward Marston has amassed tens of thousands of opera classical records over the past four decades. Following a stint in radio while a student at Williams College, he became well-known as a reissue producer in 1979, when he restored the earliest known stereo recording made by the Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1932. In the past, Ward Marston has produced records for a number of major and specialist record companies. Now he is bringing his distinctive sonic vision to bear on recordings released on the Naxos Historical label. Ultimately his goal is to make the music he remasters sound as natural as possible and true to life by lifting the voices off his old 78rpm recordings. His aim is to promote the importance of preserving old recordings and make available the works of great musicians who need to be heard.

The silver lining is that the state is only looking to review those projects where there is prima facie male fide action.
The AP government got off to a dream start by reiterating its commitment to fulfilling the promises which helped YSRC trounce the incumbent Telugu Desam and win the Assembly with a majority. N. Chandrababu Naidu lost power because of corruption and his failure to deliver on promises like building a capital, developing industry and creating jobs.
The first step of setting up a judicial review of contracts, where the CM requested the High Court to nominate a sitting or a retired judge to oversee new government contracts valued over Rs 100 crore, was cheered by all. But with 11 cases under CBI and ED investigation, it was never going to be easy for Reddy to remain spotless. His only hope was to tar Naidu enough to appear relatively cleaner. This led to early floundering: misinterpreting the mandate and allowing transparency to turn into political vendetta against Naidu.
Waging a defiant war against the power purchase agreements and PPP contracts on the three biggest areas of Naidu's thrust — the capital city of Amaravati, the centrally-funded multi-purpose Polavaram project, and the building of a renewable energy industry basewith a plethora of wind and solar power projects — Reddy is inviting an economic mess and a legal tangle for the State, and a political minefield for himself.
Though a businessman himself with commercial interests in unconventional power projects in Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh and Sikkim, the CM seemed unaware of how his behaviour was perceived.
The demolition of a public utility building, Praja Vedika, on the justification that it was an 'illegal construction on the river bed', appeared petty. Confiscating it for public use would have been simpler.
The judicial stay on the cancellation of contracts to Navayuga is an early signal for him to course-correct, but that would mean making a u-turn on the very accusations that brought him to power.
Jagan is nothing if not obstinate. A central government official had to formally advise him against cancellation of contracts; but even a Union Minister's pubic chiding made no impact on Reddy, confirming a perception about him as "no-listen, no rethink".
With over Rs 40,000 crore of investments in renewables alone, if Reddy wishes to spend more time in courts than at global investor meets, the winner won't be AP. If he wishes to confront the Centre it will play out worse. The silver lining is that the state is only looking to review those projects where there is prima facie male fide action.
With 75 per cent reservations for locals in private sector jobs, the promise of a total prohibition in phases, an ever-increasing fiscal deficit, growing welfare budgets, little investment and revenue-enhancing moves, the possibility of a huge augmentation of partisan polarization with underlying caste-communal biases through village volunteer program, a possible confrontation with the Centre, the exit of investors, and the spoiling of AP brand — Reddy's first act leaves little doubt that the State's economy will pay the price for inability to heed wiser counsel.
