These smiling faces were out and about across the county last week, enjoying all the area has to offer for half-term fun.
As part of our Gulliver's Kingdom half-term photo and video competition we had dozens of entries from families who were hoping to bag one of six fantastic prizes – including an annual family pass to the theme park.
The top prize for best entry went to Lucy Richards who sent in a video slideshow featuring a whole range of pictures from her family's half-term week.
She said: "As I hope you can tell we spent most of the week enjoying the great outdoors in Derbyshire. Three generations out and about enjoying each other's company."
Five family tickets to the Matlock Bath attraction were won by the families of Grant Hutchinson, Abigail Watkins, Charles Marshall, Nicola Field and Hayley Lowe.
And half-term might be over, but we always want to see your snaps.
We feature the best reader's pictures online and in the paper every week. Send them to: firstname.lastname@example.com.

- John Fritz Medal
WILLIAM THOMSON, first Lord Kelvin, noted British scientist and past-president of the Institution of Electrical Engineers, Great Britain, was born in Belfast, Ireland, June 25, 1824. He graduated from St. Peter's College, Cambridge, in 1845, where he won notable honors. At the age of 22, he became professor of natural history at the University of Glasgow, and remained with that institution the rest of his life. He was elected a chancellor of the university in 1904. He was knighted in 1866, as one who had done more than any other scientific man to develop submarine telegraphy. In addition to many inventions in telegraphy, he originated the quadrant electrometer, improvements on the compass, and several other inventions. In 1892, he was made a peer by Queen Victoria, and subsequently received a great many honors. Lord Kelvin made many contributions to fundamental theory of electricity. He had a passion for the investigation of natural phenomena, and had acquired a mastery of mathematics that served him as a valuable instrument of research and partly accounted for his remarkable precision of thought. His participation in the activities of scientific and engineering organizations, long after their power to confer distinction upon him had ceased, deserves emulation. His death occurred December 17, 1907.

text: Share: Comments Print February 21, 2013 at 4:01 PM Mariners get their work in ahead of Cactus League opener against Padres Posted by Geoff Baker Mariners infielders converge on a pop-up during a drill earlier Thursday in Peoria, AZ. The weather down here has taken a turn towards the cool side but at least it wasn't raining today like it was on Wednesday. That means the Mariners were able to get plenty of fielding drills in to make up for yesterday's rain-abbreviated workout. On the outfield side of things, it was interesting to see one group that consisted of Michael Morse and Jason Bay in left field, Franklin Gutierrez in center and Michael Saunders and Raul Ibanez in right. They too turns getting to balls in the gaps, hitting the cutoff men with relay throws and stuff like that. It's entirely possible those five guys could be your Opening Day outfield for this team, at those respective positions. But we'll see. Don't forget, the team still has Casper Wells in the mix. "We were able to get a lot of work done today," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said. "We had to make up a little bit fundamentally for yesterday. The guys did a nice job with that." The team opens Cactus League play tomorrow against the San Diego Padres in the annual Charity Game at Peoria Stadium. Wedge said he'll try to get position players an at-bat or two over a few innings. Two players who won't be taking part in any of that will be shortstop Brendan Ryan and second baseman Dustin Ackley , both coming off surgery and being eased back into things this spring. Mariners left-hander Joe Saunders throws live batting practice to Jason Bay. "It's just to give them a little more time," Wedge said. "They're practising well and doing a nice job. But I just think it's important to give them a little more time." Both players will be held out of the entire weekend series against San Diego. Mariners infielder Robert Andino hauls in a pop-up during a drill. That means the team should get a nice look at infielder Robert Andino. We discussed him earlier today on the blog and Wedge feels he is a better complement to Ackley, Ryan and third baseman Kyle Seager than previous backup infielders last season. "You look at the two left-handers," Wedge said of Seager and Ackley. "He (Andino) is right-handed. Ryan has struggled offensively. Andino has shown a little more of a bat during his career. We're hopeful that Brendan will come back and be much better offensively for us but again, I just like the experience factor, the versatility and his (Andino's) overall skillset." Wedge also likes the fact Andino has had recent seasons with plenty of playing time. As was discussed earlier, the team rarely used Munenori Kawasaki last season once it became apparent he wasn't up to MLB caliber and Wedge welcomes having a backup he feels he can now go to more often. "No doubt about it," Wedge said of Andino being a guy he can use more. "I mean, that was one of the reasons we felt we needed to go out and get somebody like that." Wedge said he had a conversation with Andino todayand told him he's a guy he'd have no problems "playing and starting at multiple positions" depending on what happens going forward.

The Impact of Marijuana Legalization on RI's College Campuses
Friday, January 17, 2014
Despite changes to state law, federal rules still prohibit the possession, use, and sale of the drug on campuses in Colorado and Washington.
"The use or possession of marijuana is still not allowed on campus, or in the conduct of university business away from campus," said University of Colorado Denver Chancellor Don Elliman in a written release shortly after Colorado residents passed a ballot initiative legalizing the personal, recreational use of marijuana. "We would like to remind the campus community that the amendment does not change existing University of Colorado campus policies."
College officials cite the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 and the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989, as well as federal law that still prohibits the drug.
"It's so early into it," said a university spokesperson, responding to how the change in state law affects student services.
In student handbooks across Rhode Island and Massachusetts, college officials make it clear that federal law prohibits the possession, use, or distribution of drugs and alcohol. Those campus policies won't change soon.
Anecdotally, rise in youth seeking substance abuse treatment
Christian Thurstone, an associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and medical director of one of Colorado's largest youth substance abuse treatment clinics, Denver Health's Substance Abuse Treatment Education & Prevention (STEP) Program, said there are some signs legalization would have an impact.
"We don't have great data, regarding pre/post November 2012," the day it became legal in the state to smoke marijuana, Thurstone said. But he continued to say there were changes following medical marijuana's passage in 2009, revolving around increasing youth use rates and a decreasing perception of harm.
"Anecdotally, we're feeling more substance treatment admissions" at the treatment clinic, Thurstone said, enough to hire additional counselors in anticipation.
"We certainly see students who come in seeking assistance with cutting back, and realizing their use is out of control," said Dan Graney, director of substance abuse prevention services at the University of Rhode Island.
"The hardest problem is getting them to see it's not the same as alcohol," Graney said, contrasting the effects of each respective substance.
Thurstone, a member of the board of directors for the national organization Smart Approaches to Marijuana, a group opposed to the drug's legalization, said health professionals in Colorado were still waiting for numbers to quantify the impacts of legalization.
"We know it's young people who predominantly use marijuana." For every year in age you can delay use, Thurstone said, the chances decrease they'll use the drug or become addicted.
Proponents of legalization claim the drug can be better regulated by controlling its cultivation and sale.
What can local college officials expect?
"As recipients of federal funds, it is important to recognize that independent of state rules, colleges and universities must comply with the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act," said Jason Kilmer, an assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the University of Washington and committee chair of the College Coalition for Substance Abuse Prevention, a state group comprised of colleges and universities in Washington.
Graney at URI similarly points toward federal law that would trump state legalization should it occur. "It doesn't really affect us one way or the other ... (since) we have to follow federal regulations."
"We have seen a slight increase in use" since decriminalization last year in Rhode Island, Graney said, mostly among out-of-state students who believe the drug is legal. But those students caught on campus or by law enforcement still face the standard student conduct referral process.
"We let them know it's still not allowed on campus," Graney said. Among substance use on campus, "alcohol is still the drug of choice, it's still the most abused drug." But marijuana is second.
While there's a perception of widespread prevalence, that's certainly not the case according to Graney.
In a written article last spring after the voter-approved initiatives in Washington and Colorado, Kilmer said research questions raised by legalization include how youth use may be affected, whether increased availability results in more use independent of age group, and whether legalization will curb illicit sales.
"I would think that, if it's legalized, use would come up," Graney said, although the difference may not be significant. "I don't know how many people who don't already smoke it would turn around and start smoking."

Home entertainment in the Victorian age
Recently, I re-read Life with Father, by Clarence Day (1874-1935). What a funny book, even several generations after it was written! It is a collection of stories, mostly about Day's childhood in Victorian New York City. Life with Mother is a companion volume, collected and published after Day's death.
Clarence Day grew up before radio or television. He was a young man before his father allowed a telephone in their home, and they did not have electricity either. It is interesting to read how the Days entertained themselves and their guests in those simpler and quieter days. Clarence's mother enjoyed being "at home" to visitors on Thursday afternoons and welcomed an opportunity to provide music for her guests.
About this time, Mother's favourite niece, Cousin Julie, was duly "finished" at boarding school and came to live with us, bringing her trunks and hat-boxes and a great gilded harp. Mother at once made room for this beautiful object in our crowded parlour, and the first thing Julie knew she had to play it for the Thursday-afternoon visitors. Julie loved her harp dearly but she didn't like performing at all--performances frightened her, and if she fumbled a bit, she felt badly. But Mother said she must get over all that.
For a grander afternoon musicale, Mrs. Day put together a trio -- Cousin Julie and her instructor, Miss Kregman, with their harps and Julie's nervous, young friend, Sally, at the piano. It was a bleak, cold day with snow changing to rain.
At the hour appointed for this human sacrifice, ladies began arriving in long, swishy dresses which swept bits of mud over the carpet. Soon the parlour was packed. I thought of Sally, so anxious and numb she could hardly feel the piano keys, and of Julie's icy fingers plucking valiantly away at the strings. Then Mother clapped her hands as a signal for the chatter to halt, the first hesitating strains of music began, and someone slid the doors shut.
When we boys went down to dinner that evening, we heard the news, good and bad. In a way it had been a success. Julie and Sally had played beautifully the whole afternoon, and the ladies had admired the harps, and applauded, and eaten up all the cakes. But there had been two catastrophes. One was that although Miss Kregman herself had been invisible [behind a potted rubber tree], everybody had kept looking fascinatedly at her feet, which had stuck out from the rubber tree, working away by themselves, as it were, at the pedals, and the awful part was she had forgotten to take off her galoshes. The other was that Father had come home during a sweet little lullaby and the ladies had distinctly heard him say "Damn" as he went up to his room.
The ability to play a musical instrument was considered a symbol of gentility and culture. Clarence was given violin lessons. Many homes had a piano and many ladies and girls could play the piano. Men were sometimes pianists, too. George Day, Clarence's younger brother, took piano lesons, and Clarence's father taught himself to play.
He got no encouragement from anyone and his progress was lonely. But Father was not the kind of man who depends on encouragement. He had long muscular fingers, he practised faithfully, and he learned to the best of his ability to play Beethoven and Bach.
His feeling for music was limited, but it was deeply rooted, and he cared enough for it to keep on practising even after he married and in the busy years when he was providing for a house full of boys...
[W]hen he got a chord wrong, he stopped. He took that chord apart and went over the notes one by one, and he kept on going over them methodically. This sometimes drove Mother mad. She would desperately cry "Oh-oh-oh!" and run out of the room.
sheet music that was published from 1850 to 1920. With a stack of sheet music and a willing pianist, a group of friends could spend an evening around the piano, the home entertainment center of that day.

Dorset County Museum Awarded Over £11 Million National Lottery Grant
Dorset County Museum has received one of the largest single Heritage Lottery Fund grants ever made to Dorset, a whopping £11,349,200.00!
Thanks to National Lottery players, the Dorset County Museum can now realise and deliver a major redevelopment as part of its vision for Tomorrow's Museum - Making Dorset Proud.
This vision transforms the museum into a state of the art, fit for the 21st century museum, complete with a learning and research centre, improved visitor facilities and five new exhibition spaces. Specially designed archive and conservation workshops will feature a public gallery where visitors can oversee the inner workings of the museum and its staff.
Only 1.5% of the museum's vast collection is currently on display. The enhanced exhibition spaces will allow far more of the four million Hidden Dorset Gems to see the light of day.
Award-winning architects Carmody Groarke have sensitively designed the space to complement the existing building and its historical setting. The Dorset County Museum is set to become one the county's go to destinations for tourists and residents alike.
Ros Kerslake, Chief Executive of the Heritage Lottery Fund said: "Thanks to National Lottery players, our major investment in Dorset County Museum will enable it to tell more effectively the story of Dorset, spanning more than 200 million years of history. Treasures of national significance such as a rare first edition of Charles Darwin's 'On the Origin of Species', and the largest Thomas Hardy collection in the world, will be able to be seen and understood by many more visitors, in a truly remarkable setting."
Dr. Jon Murden, Director of Dorset County Museum, said: "We are overjoyed that the HLF have given us this opportunity. For the first time, we will have the space to do justice to our amazing collections, whilst ensuring they are safely preserved for future generations to enjoy."
Cllr Peter Wharf, Dorset County Council Cabinet member for workforce, said. "The County Council is delighted to hear about the investment in the Dorset County Museum by the Heritage Lottery Fund. We appreciate that it will raise Dorset's cultural offer for local people and tourists, we know the positive impact that such a great community asset has on health and wellbeing and that this injection of funds will boost the local economy. The council has also committed £200,000 to this transformation of the museum as an investment for the next generation of visitors."
With this extraordinary award and endorsement, the 'Tomorrow's Museum' campaign requires just £1.6 million to reach its target of £15million.
The final push is now within reach and next month sees the launch of its public fund-raising campaign entitled Hidden Gems.
"In recognising the importance of preserving our common heritage for future generations, our ancestors gave generously, it's now time for us, the people of Dorset and custodians of Tomorrow's Museum, to make our own contribution" says Dr Jon Murden.

text: 808 State are an English electronic music outfit formed in 1988 in Manchester, taking their name from the Roland TR-808 drum machine and the "state of mind" shared by the members. A second probable reference to this is the name of their first hit single. They were formed by Graham Massey, Martin Price and Gerald Simpson, and they released their debut Newbuild in 1988. The band really hit the big time during the "second summer of love" in 1989 when their song "Pacific State" was picked up by Radio 1 DJ Gary Davies. Davies played the record every day for 3 months on his national primetime lunchtime show until it was released as a single. His promotion singlehandedly helped propel the acid house group to the top of the UK charts and into the public consciousness.

The Shamie family founded Delta Children more than 40 years ago on the premise that every family should be able to afford a safe crib. Since then, the company has had a community-centered vision, and at the First Candle Gala held in New York City last week, Joseph Shamie stated as much.
"The more Sam [Shamie] and I give, the more we realize continued effort is needed," he said. "The more we see struggling families, the more we want to help. The more hardship we witness, the more we realize how truly fortunate we are."
As part of the Delta Children Safe Sleep Campaign, the brand has been traveling the country on a mission to donate $1,000,000 worth of cribs to families in need, and to provide Safe Sleep tips to parents of newborns.
Kelly Mariotti, the CEO of First Candle, praised Joseph and Sam's efforts, noting, "It is inspiring to see industry leaders who get down in the trenches to stand up for what they believe in and make a very tangible impact. They have done so much to advance the cause of helping babies survive and thrive."

Elkhart County Firms Big Part of RVIA Show
December 3, 2010 by RVBusiness · 1 Comment
Elkhart County's workmanship was on display this week at the 48th Annual National RV Trade Show in Louisville, Ky.
In two sports arenas, hallways, meeting rooms and expansive convention space, 318 exhibitors who make anything and everything for RVs had their goods on display. Of those exhibitors, at least 83 were from Elkhart County, the Goshen (Ind.) News reported.
In a hallway at the Kentucky Exposition Center, Mike Blankinship held up a flexible light strip with a bright yellow glow. It got people's attention.
Blankinship is national sales manager for Vista Manufacturing in Elkhart. The company makes and distributes light strips of all types. Mirrored glass panels lit with imbedded LED lights, as well as a curvey mirror with white lights sparkling like the stars in the Big Dipper, drew plenty of attention from passersby. One woman stopped, moved her finger around the mirror and told her husband, "Oh, I really like that."
Getting noticed
At the RV show, which ended Thursday, suppliers attempted to get their products noticed by manufacturers and manufacturers attempted to get their products noticed by dealers. Dealers walked and talked a lot. They went from manufacturer to manufacturer looking for good deals and good products.
In this endless cycle of supply and demand, demand and supply, a dizzying array of products made in Elkhart County were on display. There were massive Class A motorhomes more than 40 feet long that cost close to $1 million. There were also the tiny LED lights that Blankinship was hawking.
The company's offerings were a mix of products made in Elkhart and those that come from overseas, where Blankinship said the cheap labor makes local production of some lights unprofitable. But Vista workers take those imported LED products and put their own stamp on them.
"We bring it in and take it and adapt it to what the customer requires," Blankinship said.
That may mean filling an order for 50 custom strip lights, or creating a clear plastic molding to hold the lights inside an RV.
That kind of service keeps the company of about 30 employees going. And the RV show was obviously important to Vista workers.
"The more we sell," Blankinship said, "the more work we have."
Demand 'gone crazy'
Nearby in Hall 1, a model Class A RV was attracting many sets of eyes. The Miller brothers, Ryan and Darren, were showing off their family business, Paul's Welding Inc. of Nappanee. The model RV was a prop for the steel fabricated industrial lift systems and work stations the company designs for and installs in RV plants.
"Dad just started doing small stuff," Ryan Miller explained, "and the demand for the RV industry in the past 15 years has gone crazy."
Now, Paul Miller designs all sorts of lift equipment to make the manufacture of RVs easier and safer. There is even a machine that lifts and turns an RV chassis on its side to make production easier.
The company's skilled workers include welders, fabricators and material handlers.
"When we leave (an RV plant), it will be completely set up for production," Miller said. "Way over half our sales are RV sales."
Any RVs?
And of course, there were RVs at the RV show.
Dealers strolled in and out of the Jayco Entegra Coach display. The Entegra is a Class A motorhome that exudes luxury. While the dealers were looking at color schemes and floorplans, Tadd Jenkins, national sales manager for Entegra, talked about quality products from Elkhart County.
"The customer is demanding that (quality)," he said. "If you are going to survive in the marketplace, you have to give them a product that gives them the enjoyment they are looking for on a consistent basis."
Much of the Entegra work force comes from Middlebury's Amish community, which Jenkins praised as being productive and able to put a motorhome together.
"The wiring on these things," he said, "is exponentially more difficult than a towable."
The show ended Thursday.

Ubisoft Community Developer, Gabriel Graziani, announced on the official Playsation Blog yesterday that "Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag" will feature exclusive content that will appear on Sony's consoles only. Both the Playsation 3 and Playsation 4 versions of the game will include a download that gives players an additional hour of gameplay similar to the Benedict Arnold campaign on PS3 for "Assassin's Creed III." Customers who purchase Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag on PS3 or PS4 can download an additional 60 minutes of exclusive gameplay via the PlayStation Network at the game's launch. We'll have further details to share in the months ahead!
lol will probably be quietly released for free on PC like the High Tide DLC for Far Cry 3
Well i guess it depends on the length of the game, if it last 8 to 15 rhs, 1 hour is a lot, if it last from 16-30 is so so, and if is over 30 hrs, its almost nothing.
My point of view, and even if is over 30 hrs i knows its a nice addition still, but not that significative as if is a short game with and hour added.
More reason to own a PS4, Eclusive content for both ACIV and Destiny.

The pair of Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Sajjad did Pakistan proud by capturing the International Billiards and Snooker Federation (IBSF) Team Event title in Carlow, Ireland, on Sunday routing Iran 5-3 in the best of nine frames final.
The formidable Pakistan duo recovered from three frames down to turn the tables on their opponents Soheil Vahedi and Amir Sarkosh. Pakistan was home 33-70, 18-68, 9-74, 88-20, 67-11, 87-15, 75-43, 58-35.
Sajjad hammered two elegant breaks of 83 and 51 in the fourth and seventh frames while Asif piled up a break of 50 in the fifth.
This is the second world crown for Asif in less than a year after his unprecedented rise in the IBSF world amateur snooker championship at Sofia, Bulgaria, on Dec 2 last.
For Sajjad, this is the maiden world title after his triumph in Korat Cup, a Thai ranking event besides finishing runner-up in the Asian Snooker Championship.Earlier, the two Pakistanis were crashed out from the 6-Reds event in pre quarter-finals on Saturday.
The victorious Pakistan team is due to arrive from Carlow in the wee hours of Tuesday. President of the Pakistan Billiards and Snooker Federation (PBSF) Alamgir Shaikh, secretary Munawwar Hussain Shaikh and international referee Shabbir Hussain will also return with the victorious cueists.
Final results:
Pakistan bt Iran 5-3 (33-70, 18-68, 9-74, 88-20, 67-11, 87-15, 75-43, 58-35).

Advent Calendar :: Oh Yes!
Ok, I'm a procrastinator - you knew that already. But I guess that little bit of pressure is what I need to be inventive. You see, yesterday morning, December 1st, we didn't have an advent calendar yet, though the kids had reminded me several times over the last couple of weeks. And yesterday late afternoon, still on December 1st, I was ready to present this calendar to my girls. And they loved it!
It's one of those projects again that just happened while I was going. When I started all I knew was that I had to make 50 (well 48 actually) bags somehow, big enough to contain a chocolate coin. The origami paper I intended to use for this purpose was simply too bright (really it hurt our eyes when we opened the package - the prospect of having to actually look at it for nearly a month made us change our mind). I wanted bags, but I wanted them quickly. So then I came up with this idea: making bags from a long sheet of parchment paper folded in two. With pencil, I traced a raster of 4 columns by 12 rows. With the sewing machine I first sewed the columns (I sewed down on either side of the pencil line), then cut the paper along the traced line, to obtain 4 long strips. Next, I started inserting coins and as I went, after each coin, I stitched the pocket closed along the horizontal lines I drew in the first step. It was actually fun doing and overall it didn't take that long. I didn't bother about cutting off threads, just left them on hanging. With stamps I printed on the dates. The only thing left was finding a way to hang the strips - and even that didn't take long. I just took another one of those wire coat hangers (I'm running out of them) and sewed the strips onto the hanger,. Now both girls have their advent calendar strips hanging sisterly next to each other, and every night after dinner, they'll cut off the corresponding pocket containing their coin.
Et voilà!! Fast, cheap and easy!!

An agamidae, a.k.a. agama lizard, sun bathed on a rock a top of a koppie, a small hill rising from the veldt at Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. These creatures are ubiquitous in this area of the park with their Spiderman iridescent skin colors.
A young giraffe hesitantly tested her next step after she fell behind while following her mother at the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. The youngling had stayed behind grazing, and when the animal looked up it saw its mother had crossed an open area.
A lioness gnawed at the remains of a water buffalo after the latter was abandoned by members of a different pride at Klein's Camp in Tanzania near the border with Kenya. According to the ranger, the lioness was one without her own pride and was forced to scavenge for her food.
A lion cub practiced his predator's skill on his mother's rump at Klein's Camp. The young lion and its siblings had previously been cavorting around the carcass of a warthog their mother had caught for them.
Lion cubs frolicked under the watchful eye of their mother after they had their fill with a warthog caught by the doting lioness.
Red and orange hues of the dusk hours painted the African savannah as a herd of giraffes retired for the night along the outskirts of Serengeti National Park in Tanzania.
Essdras M Suarez was ready for his African safari.
A herd of eland antelopes grazed on the African savannah at the Masai Mara Reserve. The eland is one of the few game animals the Masai tribesman will eat. According to locals, the eland's meat has similar taste to cattle meat.
A buffalo graced peacefully at Klein's Camp, which is a private reserve. Buffaloes, which can weigh up to 2,000 lbs., are unpredictable and considered to be very dangerous. African buffaloes have never been domesticated.
An adult male leopard, which is a nocturnal animal, kept an eye on his surroundings from a koppie as daylight started to fade at Serengeti National Park.
Adult female elephants grazed alongside calves at the Masai Mara Natural Reserve during their mid-day foraging.
An aerial view from a hot-air balloon showed female elephants grazing alongside their calves at the Masai Mara Natural Reserve in southern Kenya during the early morning hours.
An adult lilac breasted roller flew back to his perch after having caught an insect crawling on the grass at the Mara Triangle area in Kenya.
A Nile crocodile, an opportunistic top-of-the-food-chain predator, stealthily waited in the waters of the Grumeti River in Tanzania's Serengeti National Park as he and other reptiles waited for the wildebeest and zebra annual migration.
A zebra among hundreds of wildebeest is not an uncommon sight near the Grumeti River in Tanzania.
An elderly Masai woman went about her daily chores at a village in the outskirts of the Masai Mara Reserve near Bateleur Camp. This area of Kenya became world renowned through Sydney Pollack's film "Out of Africa."

Miles and May: Handmade Sustainable Wood Furniture
- Location: online only
- Website: milesandmay.com
Store History
- Founded: 2004
- Founded by: Brandon Phillips
- Headquarters: Geneva, NY
We saw these guys at ICFF and really liked their furniture, which is made from reclaimed and sustainably harvested woods in Geneva, New York. After including them in our list of green independent woodworkers, we thought we'd also add them to the store archive. Formerly SMC Furnishings, the company places a strong emphasis on using cast-off, or scrag, wood that larger manufacturers reject.
Because he works by hand, designer Brandon Phillips is able to take wood from the scrag pile and make it into custom pieces that have slightly different dimensions than standard furniture. Brandon works with walnut, oak, and butternut woods that grow in upstate New York. The whole line looks gorgeous thanks to a process of drying and finishing the wood to bring out its inherent beauty.
Select pieces are sold through retailers, like ABC Carpet & Home in New York, or through their website. They also accept commissions and direct retail sales. Prices are in the low thousands and vary depending on the piece: $1,700 to $4,000 for case goods, $2,400 to $2,500 for beds, and $3,400 for a large dining table.

Today's Red Leaf Tea Special
I'm buying 5+2 matcha teas, but French Butter Cookie isn't on the dropdown list…?
Thank you for the help Azzrian.
Jillian: just pick any flavor and in notes during check out let me know which ones you want to be changed. Sorry, but we keep adding new flavors all the time and it's hard to keep up :-)
Awesome, thanks! Just waiting on the rest of my gift cards to get approved, then massive tea order here I come!!
Ok, All pending reviews have been checked and GC have been sent out.
If anyone is missing one let me know.
I am missing one for Citrus Punch review I do believe. Thanks :)
Oh and your very welcome :)
I do not see that email, but I've known you long enough to trust your word. I have updated your GC :-)
Thank you I appreciate the trust.
There is a review up on Steepster, as well as a short one on your site and amazon :)
It was all posted on march 7th so maybe you had updated it before? Maybe if you know when you did the last updates that would let us both know and if you did already credit that please re-adjust my GC and that it back off as I don't want to be over credited that is not fair to you.
I went to your site to do my review of peanut butter matcha but it is gone! Is it discontinued? Should I still make a comment, just putting it under peanut or peanut butter pie?
Please use Peanut Butter Pie :-)
I received my samples today, and will begin tasting tomorrow…Thank you!
I don't get back to my apartment until Saturday night so I have to wait to try mine out ;~; All these good notes are killing me! Can't wait to taste them all.
LOL I got a headache from too much matcha today but it was SO worth it! Aleive took care of it!
I had four 8 ounce cups of the matcha latte samplers lol That and other teas as well earlier in the day!
couple of questions:
how hot is hot milk? – for the latte test
i dont want to make it too hot that it becomes bitter
what is the smallest serving proportions that i could possibly use? 1/4 (since i am going to taste 4 matchas at the same time)? or maybe 1/8 (since i am still not used to sipping matcha and have been enjoying it a bit more diluted than normal)?
Hot milk should not be boiling. Best to have it boiled and leave it for 2-3 minutes for 2 reasons:
1. Using hot liquid for green tea will burn it and make it bitter.
2. The hotter the liquid the less flavor you will taste. We only use natural flavors, but they tend to get weaker at higher temperatures.
As for the serving: one serving is 15g of powder mixed with 6-8oz of liquid. You can use 1/4, which would be about 4g and 1.5-2oz of liquid. The only issue I have is that at such small amounts, a little bit more or less can change the way it tastes. If you have a sensitive scale, you can pull it off, but if you do it by just eyeballing – it may get tricky.
Hope it helps.
would 160F be best?
ok,will go with 4g in 2oz – that will equate to 8oz for a full serving in the survey
is that all we are supposed to fill up? im guessing since this is still a testing, we will not be writing official reviews until you have decided which one to release?
140-160F should work.
You will not need to write an official review. All you need to do is fill out the survey here:
After taking into consideration all the opinions and testing notes, I will determine the best version.
You are still welcome to share your opinions here and questions, but the survey is a must for me.
the link to the survey doesn't work for me for some reason.
I just tried it 3 times and it works. Maybe there was some temporary server problem. Please try again.
so weird, it still doesn't work and I tried it on chrome and IE. Though I got it to work on another computer in my house!
New contest:
I'm working on label design for our new Matchaccino product and I'm stock at section: "What is Matchaccino?" So far I only got:
"Matchaccino is a premium Matcha green tea pre-mix, designed for customers to enjoy high quality Latte at convenience and leisure of their own home."
As you can see I'm not a writer, but it seems to me that this can be done better.
Would anyone like to take a crack at it. 30-40 words should do it. Best one will win a small size Matchaccino with their choice of flavor :-).
What do you say? Can you help me out?
How about: Matchaccino is a premium Matcha green tea pre-mix that will have you imagining you are sitting at a European cafe, savoring every minute, every sight, and every sound of a bustling little town.
Matchaccino is a premium Matcha green tea mix for discerning customers who want it all. These packs are flavored naturally, easy to use, and create a latte that is as good, if not better, than your local bistro, (at a fraction of the cost) .
Matchaccino is a premium Matcha green tea blend, pre-mixed for customers to prepare and enjoy a high quality latte with ease at home, and for a price less than a coffeeshop or cafe.
this goes in the back label?
Matcha! The best green tea from Japan in fine powder form.
Matchaccino! The deliciously flavored matcha for those moments when you crave for a latte.
It's green! It's healthy! And it will give you that energy boost you need to kick start the day, get through a sleepy afternoon, or be more productive! Got milk, make Matchaccino – anytime, anywhere :)
Also available in ____ and _____ (fill in flavors).
this may be more than 40 words but i can easily take out a few words if you wish :) can't help adding that last line too ^^
Matchaccino! The healthy latte alternative for your indulgence.
Prepared in minutes, you can luxuriate in a mug of smooth creamy Matcha for less than 60 calories! (not including milk)
Make your morning, noon, or afternoon count. Make it a Matchaccino moment just for you
So far none of these descriptions that I've seen tell me what it tastes and smells like. I'm sorry I can't help, I don't know anything about the product.. but I ran across this post the other day that might help you out. I think it gives some good advice: https://teacology.wordpress.com/2013/03/19/writing-good-catalog-descriptions-of-tea-insights-into-communication-from-why-this-way/
Thank you for all your help. I will use text from Yssah.
Congratulations. Please email me your info :-)
I just used a bit of my left over 3 & 4 samples to shake up a cold MC using ice cold almond/coconut milk…It comes out super frothy and TASTY!
Just got my first full review back.
Thank you Margaret!
I'm looking for proof reader. Does anyone know somebody? I have 2 labels and a postcard size flier to be check for spelling and syntax errors. Small job, but it needs to be done. I don't want to print 2000 label and later find our there are errors in it.
Please email me if you do this or know someone that does it. Let me know the price.
I always prefer to check with friends first before I start looking elsewhere.
I sent you an email – my daughter is considering editing as a career and is in the 98th percentile in our state for both reading and writing (just don't ask her to do math). This would be great for her resume since she is just starting out in college. I will talk to her for you.
Thank you. please let me know :-).
Will do! If you want to email me the text I can show it to her and she can give you a fair estimate.

PORTLAND, Ore (AP) -- Darlington Nagbe scored in the 52nd minute and the Portland Timbers ran their MLS unbeaten streak to 13 games with a 1-0 victory over FC Dallas on Saturday.
Portland (6-1-8) pulled within two points of Western Conference-leading Dallas (8-3-4).
Portland hasn't dropped a match since losing to East-leading Montreal 2-1 on March 9. The victory Saturday was the Timbers' sixth during their club-record unbeaten streak.
Dallas lost for only the second time in its past 13 games, but both defeats came on trips to the Pacific Northwest. Dallas lost at Seattle 4-2 on May 18.
Portland won the season series over Dallas, with the teams playing to a 1-1 draw May 8. The Timbers play at Dallas on June 26 in the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals, a non-MLS match.
The lone goal was set up early in the second half when Kalif Alhassan passed to Nagbe in the penalty box. Nagbe pivoted to his right and sent a 12-yard shot into the top right corner of the net.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Matias Sanchez and Dominic Oduro scored early and Andy Gruenebaum made three saves as Columbus snapped Montreal's three-match winning streak.
The Crew (5-5-5), who had two ties and a loss in their previous three games, won for the second time in seven home games.
Sanchez scored his first MLS goal in the sixth minute after taking a pass from Oduro and taking a shot that deflected off Montreal's Jeb Brovsky, leaving goalkeeper Troy Perkins going the wrong way.
Oduro netted his team-leading seventh goal in the 22nd, stealing the ball from Collen Warner for a partial breakaway that he finished with a slotted ball past a charging Perkins.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) -- Kenny Miller scored two goals, including the winner, to lead Vancouver over New England.
Camilo, on a penalty kick generated by a Miller scoring opportunity, and Jordan Harvey also scored for the Whitecaps (5-5-4), who are unbeaten in seven home games.
Miller scored in the 68th minute to give Vancouver a 4-2 lead. Running between two defenders, he fielded a long Camilo cross and volleyed the ball into the top right corner from about 20 yards out.
Juan Agudelo, Kelyn Rowe and second-half substitute Dimitry Imbongo scored for the Revolution (5-5-5), whose MLS unbeaten streak end at five matches and their overall run at six.
COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (AP) -- Sam Cronin scored the winning goal in the 52nd minute and San Jose beat Colorado to give Mark Watson his first win as interim coach.
Steven Lenhart scored his first goal of the season in the 11th to give San Jose a 1-0 lead, ending a two-match scoreless drought.
Watson replaced Frank Yallop after a 3-0 loss to Real Salt Lake on June 1. The Earthquakes (4-6-6) had only one win in their previous 11 matches and were 0-5-2 on the road under Yallop.
Nathan Sturgis scored in the 67th for Colorado (5-5-5), which snapped a six-match unbeaten streak. The Rapids were 3-0-3 in that span.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- D.C. United defender Daniel Woolard knocked the ball into his own net in the 41st minute, giving Toronto FC its first victory since March 9.
Robert Earnshaw scored on a header in the 30th minute after United went ahead 1-0. Then Woolard inadvertently headed the ball into the back of his own net to give Toronto the go-ahead goal.
Toronto (2-7-5) snapped an 11-match winless streak (0-6-5) with its best offensive performance of the season on the road. The club had scored just three times in six previous games away from home.
Dwayne De Rosario had given United (1-11-3) just its second lead of the season in the 19th minute with a goal on a penalty kick.

The project is in full swing now. Accelerometers should soon be in the mail. I have decided on a nice little package from Dimension Engineering. The Buffered ±5g accelerometer seems like it will work fine for our needs. It comes in a handy 14-pin DIP form factor... Plug & Play! The ease of through-hole components rather then surface mount makes my heart sing!
I also have a new member to the team, Dalton. He is also completing his final year of school, and is a welcome addition to the team!
We still need to interface the rabbit board with the servos and figure out how to handle the multiple inputs from the RF receiver. The next couple weeks should be devoted to that task.

I can't wrap my mind around the RAID config, because I'm using software RAID: it supports linear mode, and RAID level 0,1,4 or 5. Since it acts as if a partition is a device, this gives me way too much freedom (more to think about). :)) So, maybe the bold question to ask would be: what would be the best RAID config for 3 HDDS and a max 6 node HPC cluster? Should I just use RAID 1 for the system partitions on one disk, and RAID 0 for the simulation data placed on the same partitions on other two disks: after post-processing, the data is gone anyway... and with a good backup strategy, I don't have to worry about RAID0 not recovering from a disk fail... > >>> 2) I want to put the /home at the beginning of the disks go get faster >>> write/seek speeds, if the partitions are the same, software RAID doesn't >>> care where they are? >> I don't think this will buy you much performance.

History of the First Gulf (Iraq) War
"The Gulf War was one big lie from beginning to inconclusive end" Col. David Hackworth, LIBERTY, November, 1998
History of the Kosovo War T'was a Famous Victory by Phyllis Schlafly
This site is about the consequences of Washington's foreign wars, culminating in the 9/11 attack upon America and Washington's response of invading Iraq. "Most Americans," as Joseph Sobran wrote, "have no conception of the depth of hatred harbored against us, because of the (killing) inflicted by U.S. bombs and sanctions."
"America has squandered its rare "unipolar moment" by rattling its saber and appearing to go it alone........ What it should be doing," says Charles Kupchan, who teaches international relations at Georgetown University, 'is just the opposite: Shoring up alliances, working through international organizations, building a global regime of agreements and laws governing everything from trade to environmental policies. That alone will guarantee the persistence of an orderly, open world...." US NEWS The New American Empire
America was once revered in the Muslim world, after Kennedy supported freedom for Algeria from France and Eisenhower got England, France and Israel to withdraw from their conquest of Suez in 1956. America was so admired that Muslim Malaysia even copied its national flag from the American.
Instead of the naive, self serving propaganda of Bush's fairy tales about "evil ones" who hate us because we are "good," Americans should better read back to Greek mythology. There is Hercules story about 10 new enemies springing up for each enemy soldier killed. That will be the reality until Washington looks at its own policies which generate so much hatred against America. Instead we are told that Muslim fundamentalism is equivalent to Nazism or communism, and that they plan the re-establishment of the "Caliphate" which ruled from Spain to Indonesia. So a few Muslim theocrats, without weapons nor an industrial base, with half illiterate populations are a threat to conquer much of the world. Yet it is us who started the invasions and killing.
America is simply incapable of "ruling the world." (See America is not Rome) Yet many Conservatives, who think that the government can't run a nursery school, believe it can run the world, and indeed, that virtually without allies or abiding by rules of (international) law. Equally many Big Government Conservatives now support new takings of Americans' freedoms in the name of "security." The dispute over the Anti-Terror PATRIOT Act defined the line between those conservatives who want empire and those who most value freedom.
Most Americans never supported a program to blockade chlorine for purifying drinking water or prohibit even pencils for Iraqi school children. Most Americans don't know of the heinous killing done to Iraqi civilians in their name (by destroying their irrigation, sanitation, and electricity generating systems, and then blockading reconstruction supplies for 7 years during which time Iraq did comply with UN resolutions). Most Americans would not support and pay for the Israeli settlers kicking Palestinians out of their homes, if they knew.
"Perpetual war serves a number of purposes.....It is under wartime conditions that the U.S. state will, at least initially, face the least resistance as it finishes the......process of gutting the Bill of Rights and voiding inconvenient parts of the U.S. Constitution......It is under wartime conditions that all opponents of U.S. policies anywhere in the world, including within the U.S. itself, can be most easily labeled 'terrorist.'" This statement would have come from a conservative in 1940. Today it is from the Left (Alternative Press Review, Spring 2002).
Foreign dictators have long caused untold human misery. But it is not for America to cause the further misery of so many innocents, because of their rulers. (see former President Carter comments). Nations have always had wars and guerrilla insurrections, but, once America takes sides, then we bear responsibilities. Consequently, we now have mortal enemies in two of the most treacherous and fanatical parts of the world, the Middle East and the Balkans. Millions of foreigners, however unjustly, now hate us as the new "imperialists." More bombing overseas will mean more terrorist attacks upon us. This because we are not resolving the root causes of their hatred.
To paraphrase former President Bush----------
We are not hated because we are "good;" we're hated because we've been killing them;
We are not hated because we are "free;" we're hated because we support the dictators who oppress them;
We are not hated because we are "rich"; we're hated because of our hypocrisy.
The BOSTON GLOBE
(5/16/99) reported:
"By 1998, the chemical weapons infrastructure had been completely dismantled or destroyed by UNSCOM (the UN inspections body) or by Iraq in compliance with our mandate. The biological weapons programme was gone, all the major facilities eliminated. The nuclear weapons programme was completely eliminated. The long range ballistic missile programme was completely eliminated. If I had to quantify Iraq's threat, I would say [it is] zero." -- Scott Ritter, chief UN weapons inspector in Iraq for five years, from an essay by John Pilger (The Guardian 03/04/2000)
"During allied bombing campaigns on Iraq the country's eight multi-purpose dams had been repeatedly hit, simultaneously wrecking flood control, municipal and industrial water storage, irrigation and hydroelectric power. Four of seven major pumping stations were destroyed, as were 31 municipal water and sewerage facilities - 20 in Baghdad, resulting in sewage pouring into the Tigris. Water purification plants were incapacitated throughout Iraq.
"Article 54 of the Geneva Convention states: 'It is prohibited to attack, destroy or render useless objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population' and includes foodstuffs, livestock and 'drinking water supplies and irrigation works.'" LONDON SUNDAY HERALD
President Carter: The fundamentalists(ours and theirs, ed.) believe they have a unique relationship with God, and that they and their ideas are God's ideas and God's premises on the particular issue. Therefore, by definition since they are speaking for God anyone who disagrees with them is inherently wrong. And the next step is: Those who disagree with them are inherently inferior, and in extreme cases -- as is the case with some fundamentalists around the world -- it makes your opponents sub-humans, so that their lives are not significant. Another thing is that a fundamentalist can't bring himself or herself to negotiate with people who disagree with them because the negotiating process itself is an indication of implied equality. And so this administration, for instance, has a policy of just refusing to talk to someone who is in strong disagreement with them -- which is also a radical departure from past history. So these are the kinds of things that cause me concern. And, of course, fundamentalists don't believe they can make mistakes, so when we permit the torture of prisoners in Guantanamo or Abu Ghraib, it's just impossible for a fundamentalist to admit that a mistake was made.

As Pat Calvert steers a small motorboat over the James River, it's impossible to not notice the smell of motor oil, and it's not coming from the boat.
Two days after a CSX train derailed and put three tank cars full of crude oil into the river, Calvert, who keeps tabs on the Upper James River for the James River Association, is only beginning to survey the spill's impact. Wednesday's derailment spared the town from catastrophe, but not the river.
Much of the spilled crude burned in a spectacular fire on Wednesday, and the river, flooded from recent rains, washed the rest downstream toward the state capital, Richmond, and the Chesapeake Bay.
Floating orange barriers called boom had been placed in the water surrounding the derailment site to capture spilled oil, but they might have been too late to make a difference. Calvert said his organization had measured an oil slick 17 miles long.
Closer to the shoreline, a sticky black film coats low-hanging tree leaves. The river is home to bald eagle nests, and smaller birds scavenge for insects along its banks.
"I've been trying to shoo them," Calvert said. "I wish they would go somewhere else to eat."
Wednesday's accident highlights a growing anxiety among river conservationists across the country about a rising volume of crude oil shipments in tank cars long known to be vulnerable in derailments.
The nation's primary rail routes were constructed along waterways because of the favorable grades for heavy trains. Those characteristics make them well suited for transporting entire trains of crude oil, because it takes fewer locomotives and less fuel.
The James River in Virginia, the Hudson River in New York and the Columbia River, which serves as the border between Washington and Oregon, are all along the path of regular rail shipments of crude oil from North Dakota's Bakken shale region, where the oil is unlocked by hydraulic fracturing.
While helping drive a historic shift away from imported oil, the shipments are also bringing new spill risks to states and communities that aren't prepared for them.
The trains along the James River, bound for a rail-to-barge terminal in Yorktown, Va., had barely gained notice since they began operating in December. But along the Hudson and Columbia rivers, resistance has been building to similar operations.
Brett VandenHeuvel, executive director of Columbia Riverkeeper, an environmental and clean water watchdog group, has been concerned as state and local governments have signed off on several rail terminals, all served by a rail line that follows the river and its tributaries.
"The sight of those flaming cars in the river in Lynchburg really struck home," he said. "It might be in our future."
Even the relatively small amount of oil that spilled Wednesday _ less than 30,000 gallons, according to revised state estimates _ can have a long-lasting impact on waterways and the people and wildlife that depend on them, VandenHeuvel said.
The James River supplies Virginia cities, including Lynchburg and Richmond, with drinking water. The Columbia River is prime fishing ground for Native Americans and irrigates the fertile but arid farmland of central Washington and Oregon.
Along the Hudson, trainloads of crude oil are transferred to barges within blocks of state government offices in Albany, New York's capital.
"The crossroads for a lot of this oil is Albany," said Phillip Musegaas, Hudson River program director for Riverkeeper. "These trains are right in the middle of downtown."
After the derailment in Lynchburg, the U.S. Department of Transportation sent a package of tougher proposed standards for tank cars to the White House Office of Management and Budget for review. But that process could take months.
"That's simply not good enough when you have this kind of risk," Musegaas said.
He called on Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx to immediately ban puncture-prone tank cars from transporting Bakken crude oil. Last week, the Canadian government ordered a three-year phaseout of the cars, called DOT-111s, from crude oil shipping.
These cars are the same type that punctured and ruptured on trains carrying crude oil that derailed in Quebec, Alabama, North Dakota and New Brunswick in the past year. All of the derailments resulted in large fires and spills. In Lac-Megantic, Quebec, 47 people were killed.
The National Transportation Safety Board, which is investigating the Lynchburg derailment, said Friday that 14 of the 17 cars that derailed were built to a higher standard voluntarily adopted by the industry in 2011. The NTSB and the railroad industry have said that even these cars are not robust enough for crude oil.
Though the federal government regulates rail transportation, state and local governments have some power to check the expansion of crude oil shipments by rail facilities, which often require permits to begin operating.
Albany County, N.Y., last month placed a moratorium on the growth of such facilities until a study of their health impacts is completed.
VandenHeuvel's group is calling on the governors of Oregon and Washington to make a similar move. Several crude-by-rail terminals are planned in the Pacific Northwest in addition to the ones already in operation. Others are planned in Northern California.
VandenHeuvel said that officials should take a hard look at what happened in Lynchburg and other towns before allowing any more terminals to go forward.
"I think we're beyond calling for investigations," he said. "Prevention is a much better approach."

Under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act, Markham has protected three areas as a heritage conservation districts: Thornhill, Markham Village and Unionville. A heritage conservation district is:
See if your property is within a heritage conservation district map:
Or search the Markham Register of Property of Cultural Heritage Value of Interest to see if your property is in a heritage conservation district.
What is the purpose of the district?
Changes will occur in heritage conservation districts. They are living parts of our community, not museum sites. The purpose of district designation is to guide change so that it contributes to the area's unique character. The key objectives are:
What type of new construction is appropriate?
There are many examples of excellent additions and new infill construction in our heritage districts.
Where can I learn more about district requirements and how to alter my property?
Each district has its own Heritage District Plan. If you want to alter your property in any way, review the Plan's policies, design guidelines and other useful information.
How do I get a copy of a Heritage District Plan?
All Markham heritage conservation district plans are available in paper versions from the Development Services Commission at the Markham Civic Centre for a small fee.
Or you can download a PDF copy of the Heritage District Plans:
What types of approvals are required?
Owners of all properties in a heritage conservation district must obtain approval for exterior alterations to property, new construction or demolition. Heritage Staff has been delegated authority to approve alterations and new construction which complies with approved policies and guidelines (development approvals). Demolition requests must be considered by Markham Council.
What financial assistance is available?
Markham has created a variety of financial programs to help designated properties.
Does designation affect property values?
The word is in on whether heritage designation has an impact on the value of your property. The answer is this- if designation has any affect on real estate prices, it's probably a good one. Find out more. Property Values (Heritage Designation).
What special features are found in heritage conservation districts?
Markham has installed heritage district public signage to acknowledge the special nature of our heritage areas. These include heritage street name signage and heritage district entry signage. Streetscapes have been enhanced with special lighting, street furniture and sidewalk improvements.
Property owners in heritage conservation districts are kept abreast of district news and useful information through Heritage District News.

OGC/EuroSDR/Geonovum workshop 'CityGML for national mapping'
OGC, EuroSDR and Geonovum have organised a workshop on CityGML for national mapping, which will be held 21/22 January 2013 at IGN in Paris. The aim of the workshop is to present implementations of the OGC CityGML Encoding Standard, an open data model and XML-based format for the storage and exchange of virtual 3D city models. Workshop participants will also explore what is needed to make the standard further fit for 3D implementation covering large areas and various application domains.
