Making Pottery, Rain or Shine.
Last week, we installed a canopy over our big gas kiln. Now we can fire pottery during a rain storm, and we won't burst into flames trying to load the kiln on sunny days! Check out the photos below to see the process and results!
Now we just need a few pieces of sheet metal to close up the gaps between the canopy and kiln roof, and our kiln will be fully weatherized!
Butter Trays are now available!
Serve your butter in style with our butter trays! Not just for breakfast though, you can serve snacks or eat sushi with them. You can even use them as a place to put your keys, jewelry, or spare change! (Just make sure to clean the butter off before putting your favorite ring down on one.)

This leadership position will assume responsibility for the new ALLL model / methodology, and certain Portfolio Analytics functions. It is therefore largely identical to an existing role within Enterprise Risk. The two positions will share ongoing responsibility for certain stress testing, economic capital and model risk management functions subsequent to the ALLL transition taking effect.
This role will also lead and assist SVB in the design and implementation of a CECL compatible ALLL and risk management platform. Implementation of CECL by 2020 is a regulatory requirement and is presumed for CCAR institutions. There are no industry benchmarks for the CECL process given this accounting standard was newly created in parallel with Dodd Frank in response to the great recession of 2008. The new standard is complex, has numerous dependencies, and impacts the organization broadly (Credit, Risk, Finance, IT, Regulatory).
Primary Responsibilities:
• Lead SVB's transition to Expected Loss (PD/LGD) and CECL ALLL reserve methodologies.
• In preparation for CCAR, coordinate the evolution of SVB's stress testing, economic capital and risk modeling procedures in collaboration with internal partners and consultation with Auditors, loan Examiners and other constituents.
• Manage quantitative analytic models and applications in collaboration with Enterprise Risk in support of the firm's risk management. Build and enhance various analytic models including sensitivity analysis, stress testing, value-at-risk, scenario testing, and Monte Carlo simulations. Recommend and implement industry best practices for portfolio analytics.
• Expand loan modeling, PD correlation analysis, high-risk cohort identification and product development capabilities within Credit Administration. Provide quantitative support for credit origination and management practices, including the creation of product dashboards, application of risk migration and loss correlation analysis.
• Refine and create Board of Directors reporting to incorporate key performance and risk metrics to ensure that critical decisions on risk appetite, house limit structure and deal parameters are well informed.
• Hire and manage a team of analysts to facilitate timely completion of ALLL reserve business process. Intra-quarter responsibilities for the team to include support for expanded portfolio analytics, credit reporting and loan product management initiatives.
Skills and Requirements:Undergraduate degree in statistics, mathematics, finance, economics, or other related discipline, an advanced degree highly preferred.
10+ years of working experience, with a strong track record in portfolio analytics – preferably with a large financial institution and ideally with a CCAR institution.
Thorough understanding of statistics, mathematics, and econometric modeling techniques (including model functionality), and the relevant statistical analysis tools/packages.
Ability to analyze and interpret large data sets, identify insights, and synthesize how these insights impact risk decisions.
Ability to communicate effectively at all levels in an organization, and a personal presence that will facilitate interaction with senior client executives.
Experience with requirements gathering from stake-holders.
Experience with off-shore partners for data input/aggregation.

AMTRAK MAY BE struggling to avoid derailment in the late 20th Century, but one form of railroading never seems to stop chugging along: model trains.
At first there were toy trains, which appeared in England in the mid-1860s; scale-model railroads, complete to the last detail and run by electricity, were not available in this country until the 1920s, when only little princes and their kingpin fathers could afford them. That has changed; five years ago (the most recent report) model railroading brought in about $130 million in retail sales; about 250 million people, most of them adults, had model railroads.
The beginning model railroader, no matter what age, faces a bewildering array of expensive imports, gauges, scales, accessories and thousands of pieces of fully painted rolling stock. There are also kits: sets or individual cars and engines, unassembled, unpainted. Most model-train stores will put a starter set together, which is generally preferable to the more cheaply made prepackaged kits.
Farther along the upscale, water tanks, houses, saloons and other buildings are available in kit form (and finished), most in plastic, some in wood, with a significant price range within each material (kits are not always cheaper than ready-mades). An unassembled, unpainted balsa-wood caboose costs about $24; a black plastic chemical tank kit in HO gauge costs $6 or so.

Diane Lawson, first-grade pupil, was the high collector of tin cans the past week. She brought 1,198 of the vital containers to school to top the rest of the field by a wide margin. Alvenia Winegard, second grader, was second with 723 cans.
• Bestowing an honor well deserved, the University of South Carolina will confer an honorary "doctor of law" degree upon General Emile P. Moses, native of Sumter, in his youth a student of the university. His father, the late Altamont Moses, of Sumter, was a long useful and able member of the South Carolina general assembly, serving as chairman of the house committee on ways-and-means.
• A pair of tonsils, or rather the absence of same, have made a lightweight champion out of Bob Montgomery, and now that he's traded in those throat troubles for the title, he's figuring on showing who is the boss of the 135-pounder from coast to coast. Having won the New York and New Jersey titles by bouncing Beau Jack all over the premises for the better part of 15 rounds in Madison Square Garden and being virtually assured of Pennsylvania's "blessing" Bobcat Bob is thinking of taking his crown for a quick swing around the circuit from Washington to Portland, Oregon.
• Staff Sgt. Craft McCormic, son of Mr. and Mrs. L.F. McCormic of Sumter, has been awarded a Silver Star for gallantry in action in the Pacific, according to an Associated Press Dispatch from Australia. Announcement of the award came only a little more than a month after it was made that he had won the Soldier's Medal for bravery. That decoration was accorded him in April, and the report of it came through on April 18. The Silver Star was given to members of the crew of a Flying Fortress, which put a Japanese seaplane tender out of action in New Britain's Rabaul harbor Feb. 25 and young McCormic was an aerial engineer on the airship.
• Three officers and six enlisted men who served with a Marine Corps parachute battalion during the initial assaults in the Solomon Islands on Aug. 7 have received letters of commendation, Marine Corp headquarters announced. One of them, Marine Gunner Marion R. Lenoir, 37, of Sumter, rescued a companion from a sector under heavy enemy fire. His parents live in Sumter. His citation read: Marine Gunner Marion R. Lenoir: "For meritorious conduct in action against the enemy while serving with a Marine parachute battalion during the attack on Gavutu Harbor, Solomon Islands, August 7th, 1942. During the attack Lenoir and a comrade showed courageous initiative and complete disregard for their own safety in facing strong enemy strong enemy fire by volunteering to rescue their platoon sergeant who was critically wounded. Upon finding him dead, Lenoir continued to advance in the face of enemy fire and saved another wounded Marine desperately in need of first aid. His conduct was in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval service."
• Sumter will undergo its first countywide blackout from 9:25 until 10 p.m., the seventh to be conducted in the city. The blackout will be part of the Florence district test. The blue signal, warning lights off, will be sounded at 9:25 and ten minutes later the red signal will be blown. At 9:50 the blue signal will be repeated and at 10 p.m. the all-clear will be issued by radio announcement and the blowing of the Williams Furniture Co. whistle. Civilian defense workers will be warned at 9:15 p.m. by the yellow (telephone) signal that a raid may be in the offing.
• Vacations are fine, but there will be no extra gasoline for vacation travel for South Carolinians this year, say State OPA officials. Both rubber and gasoline supplies are too critical to allow motorists and "luxury" gasoline rations.
• Lois Ann Dollard, who comes naturally by her newspaper abilities, has been named editor-in-chief of Sumter High News for the coming year. Lois Ann is the daughter of R. Mood Dollard, for several years circulation manager of the Sumter Daily Item. A faculty committee selected her to succeed Mary Alice Pritchard, who will graduate. Judith Ann Sargent was chosen managing editor for the 1943-44 term.
• Scriven Brunson, student body president, was awarded the Riley medal for service at the annual class day exercises at Edmunds High School. The medal is given each year to the student, who, in the judgment of his teachers, possesses the outstanding qualities of scholarship, leadership, service and sportsmanship.
Jan. 21-27
Emergency foods and other supplies were received at the Sumter County courthouse to stock the public fallout shelter there. Sumter Civil Defense Director Ashby W. Bradford revealed that among supplies received were six cartons of carbohydrate supplement candy, 24 cartons of bisquit crackers, five sanitation kits and four medical kits, as well as a radiological monitoring kit.
• Flashing an aggressive defense, Hillcrest's surging Wildcats grabbed an early lead and never lost it as they stunned Southside's rugged Falcons, 68-63, in a conference 6-A contest here. Joe Burch, in his best effort of the season, sparked the Hillcrest cause with 19 points followed by Roger Smith and Carl Sprouse who had 16 and 14 points respectively.
• Carol Catoe scored 20 points and Sumter's girls won their fourth game of the year against two defeats by defeating Lancaster, 37-27 at the Edmunds gym. The Lady Birds fell behind, 7-3, after the first period but came back to nab a 16-10 half-time advantage.
• Voter registrations continue to lag in Sumter County, where only 8,364 persons had signed up out of an estimated possible total of 25,000. Harold Chandler Jr., chairman of the Sumter County Registration Board, emphasizes that potential voters would be wise to sign up now before the last-minute rush begins. To be eligible to vote in the June primary election, Sumterites must be registered by the end of April.
• The Sumter Street widening project is expected to come up for reconsideration again when Sumter City Council meets. Wade Kolb, city manager, said the project would be re-evaluated in light of recent opposition expressed by the Downtown Sumter Improvement Association and the Tuomey Hospital board of directors. No recommendation has been received by council from the city planning commission.
• Rep. James Cuttino Jr. of Sumter, who has been a long-time advocate of a four-lane expressway (Highway 378) from Columbia to Myrtle Beach via Sumter, Turbeville, Lake City and Conway, said the proposed project faces serious problems. "If we don't get something done very soon, Sumter stands to lose its east-west and vice-versa traffic, and that would mean a loss of a daily annual average of 3,719 vehicles."
• Mayor Robert E. Graham, past president of the first Sumter Jaycees Chapter from 1941 to 1942, has proclaimed Jan. 21-17 as Jaycee Week in Sumter and asked local organizations to cooperate in the observance. He said the purpose of the week is to focus attention on young men and the work they are doing, and emphasized that the Sumter Jaycees have done an outstanding job in the field of community service.
• Two impressive victories by Sumter boxer Alva Locklair may bring the young fighter an invitation to the Golden Gloves tournament in Charlotte. "There's been nothing official yet," says Burke Watson, coach of the local Optimist-sponsored boxing club, "but they were interested in Alva after his showing there last week."
• Army Chief Warrant Officer Donald E. Graham, son of Mrs. John Gibson, has been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for heroism in Vietnam. The citation reads: "For heroism while participating in aerial flight evidenced by voluntary actions above and beyond the call of duty: Chief Warrant Officer Graham distinguished himself by exceptionally valorous actions while serving as aircraft commander on a CH-47A helicopter at Cu Chi, Republic of Vietnam.
• Woodrow M. Nesbitt, 24, of Sumter, received the silver wings of an Army aviator and was appointed a warrant officer recently upon graduation from the Army Aviation School at Fort Rucker, Alabama. During the 16-week course, he was taught various fire techniques and tactical maneuvers for helicopters supporting ground troops in combat. He also received instruction in helicopter maintenance and survival techniques.
• Johnny Parker, an accountant for the Peoples National Gas Co., was named recipient of the 1967 Distinguished Service Award at the Jaycees annual Bosses Night held at the American Legion Home. The award, first started in Sumter in 1949, is presented by the Jaycees to the young man who has best demonstrated outstanding and unselfish service to the Sumter community during the past year.
• Tuomey Hospital Administrator Ralph M. Abercrombie Jr. was named president-elect of the S.C. Hospital Association at the 47th annual meeting of the organization. A native of Charlotte, Abercrombie and his family reside in Sumter where he is active in hospital affairs and community affairs.
• Mrs. Myrtis Logan of Sumter was elected secretary of the South Carolina School Boards Association at the organization's annual meeting recently. The longtime resident of Sumter ascends to the position with extensive experience in community affairs, especially those related to schools and children. Since 1958 she has served on the School District No. 17 board of trustees and thereby, the state association.
Sept. 23-29
Sumter County residents caught boozing it up on public property may now face additional fines and jail time. Sumter County Council gave unanimous final approval to prohibiting the consumption of alcoholic beverages on publicly owned land - streets, sidewalks and public parks. The law is designed to reinforce existing laws like open container and public drunkenness, county attorney Henry Richardson said.
• It's homecoming week at Sumter High and while the rest of the student body are celebrating, Sumter head football coach Tom Lewis is trying to figure out a way to keep his Gamecocks from being stung. The Gamecocks have got to have the worst luck of any Region IV-4A team this season. Instead of the usual weak homecoming opponent Sumter will be entertaining Irmo - ranked third in this week's state football poll.
• Black and white Sumter School District 17 trustees say they supported efforts to attract more white students to Wilder Elementary School, although the plan produced some classes of all-black students. District 17 Superintendent Dr. Andrena Ray announced the 3-year-old practice of grouping the school's white students in the same classes will stop.
• Sumter County Master-in-Equity William Reynolds said he will decide before the end of the month if the Sumter City-County Planning Department must process promoter Bobby Sisson's building permit application for a new race track. Sisson wants to build the track on U.S. 76/378, but Sumter County's zoning law, which was passed in December 1991, prevents the track from being built without special permission from Sumter County Council. Sisson maintains that he applied for the permit before the zoning law went into effect, so his application should be processed.
• In 1874 William and Mary Rogers donated a tract of land on which the Paxville Methodist Church now stands. The church was completed and chartered in 1892. To celebrate the first hundred years, a homecoming will be held Sunday. The first homecoming was held in April of 1844 with 209 people registering. Various articles commemorating this event, along with the deed and grant, will be on display.
• Gov. Carroll Campbell wants YOU to elect Rudy Singleton to the state Senate. In a letter addressed "Dear Friend," Campbell sings the praises of Singleton, a Sumter County councilman who is seeking the state Senate District 35 seat currently held by Phil Leventis, D- Sumter. Singleton said he was surprised when he received the letter. Singleton wrote Campbell in August requesting a letter of recommendation.
• Students in Dr. Susan Hendley's "Dynamics of American Public Education" class at USC Sumter are exploring cooperative learning techniques they may use once they become teachers. A teaching concept that is gaining widespread acceptance at all educational levels throughout the country, cooperative learning involves the students in the teaching process rather than relying solely on an instructor who presents the material in a lecture format, according to Hendley, assistant professor of education at USC Sumter.

When the clock struck 9 p.m. on Tuesday, political office-seekers in Maryland had reached their witching hour -- the moment of truth when it was put up or shut up: either put your money up as a filing fee, or sit out this year's election. A record number of candidates filed with the state elections board, ensuring major changes in the composition of the state legislature and a number of county councils.
Confusion reigned in the race for governor, though. Lt. Gov. Melvin Steinberg's campaign continued to perform as though under a magic spell. In the week leading up to the filing deadline, nearly a half-dozen potential running mates were proposed, discussed and eventually rejected -- including three in the last few days. Only hours before the deadline, Mr. Steinberg was still torn between two choices. Finally, he opted for veteran Charles County Sen. James Simpson.
Meanwhile, state Sen. Mary Boergers of Montgomery County confounded experts by choosing former Del. Barbara Kreamer of Harford County, whose success at the polls has dropped precipitously in recent elections. This gives Maryland its first all-female ticket, one that is ardently feminist in its agenda. How will voters respond?

This was my family's first cruise and I was expecting more than we got I guess for the price. It was a beautiful ship with great service but
7 Night Eastern Caribbean (Ft. Lauderdale Roundtrip)
Sail Date: July 11, 2015
Ship: Oasis of the Seas
Cabin Type: Balcony
Cabin Number: 10 577
Traveled As: Family (young children)
Reviewed: 3 years ago
Review Summary
This was my family's first cruise and I guess I expected more from the worlds largest cruise ship. It was almost like they could not accommodate all of the passengers on board. More often than not , a lot of the restaurants ran out of food and were not able to restock. The selection of food was not the greatest for what they boast about. They ran out of towels on the day excursions so we had to go without and it was like " too bad , so sad" kind of thing. Other people here have commented on the scam status and I have to agree with that. You are constantly being sold something or pressured into buying more or spending more at their shops and spas. I got "conned" into over 400 dollars worth of facial products I really didn't need and it was a complete upsell. The service is for the most part excellent but I felt like a walking wallet to this cruise line. 300 extra dollars for a soda package, 90 extra for the Internet. I don't drink and there were only 3 soda machines on board and then there was a long line to wait on to refill the 300 dollar cup as I call it. It goes on and on. Then you just feel like a number lost in the mix of thousands of others on board where they are trying to upsell you on buying more stuff.
The beaches were beautiful but I think I would travel on a smaller cruise line next time. I just felt like a herd of cattle on a ship. And don't get me started on the cramming of people into the elevators that get stuck.

The third largest city in all of Los Angeles County, Glendale is home to plenty of things to do and see along with beautiful, modern houses that fill the neighborhoods. Everything from single-family homes to larger, more spacious houses, each requiring various levels of care and maintenance to withstand the elements as well as the constant slight shifts and movements that can be the downfall of poorly done foundation work. If you are noticing slight uneven areas in the walls or flooring of your home, than it may be time for a foundation inspection to determine the health of the foundation along with any foundation repairs that may need to be made before further damage can be sustained.
With years of experiencing helping Glendale homeowners with any foundation repairs needed, Troy Builders provides foundation contractors that are licensed and insured by the state to ensure that your home gets the high quality work that it needs to prevent any further issues down the line. For over 10 years Glendale residents have trusted the foundation contractors at Troy Builders with everything from foundation replacement to additional home renovation services after the initial foundation repair work has been taken care of.
Performing a thorough initial foundation inspection is just the beginning and while other foundation contractors may try to rush through the process or skip it altogether, we understand the importance of knowing exactly where the issue is so that we can avoid any unnecessary and costly work, which is one of the many reasons that we are able to offer high quality work at a more affordable price than the competition may be able to. This attention to detail and high quality of work has earned Troy Builders the reputation as Glendale's leaders in foundation repair and foundation replacement, no easy feat considering the amount of homes and residents throughout the large city.
Whether you need complete foundation replacement or would like to schedule a foundation inspection to determine the health of your home, call us today to speak to one of the foundation contractors at Troy Builders and see firsthand what has made us the area's choice for over 10 years.

So I thought I would try my hand at film reviews I haven't written any in-depth ones since college, so here we go.
This movie is more visually stunning than it is anything else.There are many arguments about how strong the story may or may not be, but one thing that is never argued about is the originality within the set, character design, and it's musical composition.The fact that it hasn't become a cult classic is a little bit surprising to me.
At it's very core you could say it resembles the elements of a Wizard of Oz/Alice in Wonderland story.A girl,in this case one named Helena, with problems in her real life is transported to a world very different than her own. The world is very strange, it doesn't have the bright happiness or insanity of Wonderland nor does it have the sometimes unnecessary darkness that can often be associated with Oz.Another thing that differentiates this movie from the other two is that there is no big thing that happens to garnish us into the new world.There are no tornadoes or rabbit holes, it is an almost seamless transition.
The art style is one thing that truly sets this movie apart from any other.It is a dark fantasy like no other,it's beautiful and quite unique. It's the only dark fantasy I've ever seen that purposely chooses not use black as it's main color.Though the ever encroaching darkness is black and tends to spawn eye spiders(that's how I'm coining them).It tends to use more of a sandy tan to depict it's world.The character designs are all really well done. Each person having a distinct mask and clothing. Excluding our main character,Helena,who spends most of the movie in her pajamas and bunny slippers.The world is almost totally done in CG and a lot of the creatures are weird, creepy, and/or quite intriguing.The landscape is purposely set to seem artsy .The art of the fantasy world is based on the art that we see Helena draw.The same way in which in the characters of the Wizard of Oz are fantasy versions of actual people in Dorthy's life.
In the story she progresses with her companion to try to save this fantasy world while trying to get back to her own.It does have a few classic tropes such as the evil queen and the classic betrayal.Yet everything is done in a new style and intriguing manner so it's very hard to get bored.I find the world much prettier and much more exciting,than it's sister movie The Labarinth, although there is no Bowie(and the world isn't as cute). I'm almost sure I'll be stoned by many for ever loving this movie over the favorite sibling of then Jim Henson movies,but I do.The labyrinth is cute and well do ne but to be honest I like Helena much more than I could ever like Sara.Also if I had to choose a world to live in their is no competition.The only negative thing I have to say about this film is the fact the movie called Helena selfish. She wants a normal life, away from her father's circus, and you can't blame her.Yet she is called selfish for being tired of this life,and that's my main problem with the movie.As a parent I believe it's your job to facilitate your child's dream and not the other way around.I think it's selfish to force your child to work in an arena they hate so that you can be happy,but I digress.As does the movie honestly,we are given this point in the very beginning with the argument with her mom,and then we are thrust into a fantasy world.To be honest we aren't given a lot about her personal life other than the fact that she's the "typical teen", aside from the that she works in a circus,and the fact that she loves to draw.Though at the same time we are given a clue that her outburst could honestly be from the fact that she's a just moody teenager or just wants something different ,rather then her actually hating her life.We are also given images of what a version of Helena could be if she totally ran away from all that her mother's taught her (or at least that's how I'm taking those scenes in).In the resolution of saving the queen of the light I see her appreciating where she came from, and not running away from the person she was brought up to be.
The synopsis
The story deal with a teenage heroine,Helena, whose tired of her life in the circus(that her parents own). She just wants a normal life.She argues with her mom over this, and not to long after we discover that her mother is sick.After her mother is hospitalized, Helena soon finds mysteriously in strange new world.
This is a world in which you'll need a net to catch and book and if you neglect it, it'll sail away back to the library.Not to mention the fact that everybody in this world wears a mask "because how else would you know how you're feeling".It's a world in which giants float and sphinx wont let you pass until you've solved their riddle.It's split into two parts one of light and another of dark.Each ruled by it's own queen.The problem is the queen of the light won't wake up and now the darkness is slowly encroaching on the land of the light.Can she get back home and somehow save this world?

This is in response to several comments by Wylekat on Ex-Christian.net on this thread: http://new.exchristian.net/2013/05/why-do-most-people-easily-trust.html
Ordinary claims require ordinary evidence, and extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. That's a really straightforward guideline. It's really useful for evaluating claims of things that supposedly happen or should happen predictably. Things like whether intercessory prayer can heal people, whether homeopathy works, and whether psychics can actually talk to the dead or read minds. It's doable to set up a carefully controlled study to see if the effect that's claimed is really there. (James Randi has $1,000,000 waiting for anybody that can reliably demonstrate a paranormal ability under conditions controlled to eliminate confirmation bias and cheating. Nobody's won it yet!)

After travelling in Croatia (and possibly even before you go) you may want to do something for the country – the two obvious ways you can help are through voluntary work or through supporting a Croatian charity.
The single most important thing you can do to improve life in Croatia is to support any of the many organisations involved in mine clearance. In the UK, Heather Mills has done a lot in getting prosthetic limbs and financial aid to mine victims in Croatia, and has also been instrumental in setting up the Adopt-A-Minefield programme. Visit the website, which co-ordinates anti-landmine activity and fundraising, and is directly involved in Croatia, raising money for mine clearance and for the survivors of landmine accidents. The Croatian Mine Action Centre or 'CROMAC' for short (Hrvatski Centar za Razminiranje, HCR) does a huge amount of work on the ground and keeps up-to-date statistics and maps on mine clearance at its website.
Another active organisation is the American Chamber of Commerce in Croatia (AmCham Croatia). Founded in 1998, and based in Zagreb, AmCham Croatia stresses its independence from the US government, and has various fundraising programmes for Croatian charities, in addition to its main mandate of promoting mutual co-operation and friendship between Croatia and the USA.
Voluntary work
There are a number of well-established voluntary programmes operating in Croatia, though happily they're all popular and you need to book well ahead if you want to participate. Below are a few, but you can find many more if you do your own research.
A well-established organisation is Volunteers Centre Zagreb, which was started in 1996, and has been working to promote peace and human rights since the war ended. VCZ organises working camps in Croatia. It's also worth getting in touch with the Croatian Red Cross, which is not just active in its own right but also works with many other partners. The Croatian Heritage Foundation, for its part, caters mainly for the Croatian diaspora of 3.5 million people around the world. The foundation organises a summer 'Task Force', which focuses on a different project each year, such as restoring medieval town walls, replanting damaged botanical gardens, or rebuilding paths in the national parks.

Do You Meet The Criteria?

With the new help to buy scheme we confidently guarantee you will not find a more cost effective solution for new windows and doors. See what you qualify for today. Don't get fooled by cheap double glazing, all companies vetted & recommended by the Help To Buy Windows Scheme only install quality double glazing products.
Help 2 Buy Windows Grant Scheme
Free Windows for Qualifying Homeowners
Help 2 buy Windows has launched a new window & door grant scheme, qualifying homeowners can now have new windows and doors installed completely free of charge.
If you meet the criteria for a free double glazing grant we will first arrange for a survey to be carried out to confirm the criteria for free windows has been met and that the property is suitable for new windows and doors.
Once the survey has been carried out you will be added to the list for installs and installed as soon as the money comes available for your window grant.
Every survey arranged by Help 2 Buy windows adds to the pot of money available for window and door grants.
Help 2 Buy windows is committed to helping those in need reduce their energy bills and carbon footprint. The Help 2 Buy Windows funds 100% of the grants given out to customers, unless you qualify for the grant you will not receive any financial assistance from Help 2 Buy Windows towards the cost of your windows and doors, all contributions will be given by the company that Help 2 Buy refers you to.
For homeowners that do not qualify for free windows there is still many options available to help install quality windows and doors, funding is available for qualifying homeowners also subject to criteria.
Funding your windows and doors means that you can spread the cost of your installation over a time that suits you and proportion of this can be offset by the savings you make on your bills, meaning you can let your new windows and doors pay for themselves.
The Double-Glazing Grant Scheme is available in England, Scotland & Wales and can cover up to the complete cost of replacing the windows and doors.
Unfortunately, the help 2 buy fund is not an endless pot of money, as the scheme grows we will attempt to bring in outside funding from other avenues but for the mean time Help 2 Buy Windows will fund 100% of the installations carried out by our installation partners.
Window Grants will be awarded on a first come first served basis so visit https://www.help2buyscheme.co.uk/funding-checker-3
Help 2 Buy Windows Grant Customer Installation
Mr Webdale qualified for a full grant, covering the complete installation of his new windows & doors, we are really proud to have completed this installation as the condition of the windows and doors were extremely bad. Both the front and back entrances were not secure and could have quite easily been opened from the outside. Mr Webdale lives alone with his son who has autism, he was concerned that his son would have to wear his coat inside the property during the winter as the old wooden windows and doors were so draughty.


text: Report post Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) GUILD PHILOSOPHYElysian Gaming was founded as a casual guild that has eventually developed into a raiding guild aiming to clear mythic content. We strive to strike a good balance between hardcore and casual by setting clear attainable goals and having fun while progressing.ABOUTElysian Gaming was founded on 5th September 2015. We have recently transferred servers from the quiet land of The Sha'tar to Silvermoon EU. What started out as a casual guild soon evolved into a keen raiding guild. We have adopted two core principles that we endeavor to live by at all times...- Clear the hardest raid content the game has to offer before the next tier is released.- Provide a genuine home and family for all of our members.These two principles may seem basic at first but we take them very seriously. Too many times have we all been promised a 'friendly' guild only to be shunned by those dreaded cliques of players unwilling to accept anyone else. In Elysian Gaming we actively discourage the formation of 'bad' cliques and have always excelled at reaching out to new members making them feel like a real addition to the family.We use Discord for our communications both socially and during raids, which is precisely why you may realize that our forums are a little scarce. To get involved with the community, join our discord server right away!RECRUITMENT STATUSTANK: OPENHEALERS: OPEN (Resto Druid preferred)DPS: OPEN (Ranged; preferably Mages, Balance Druid)We genuinely want you to play the class you enjoy the most, though you may be asked to switch to a viable off-spec on occasion. We will try our best to keep this to a minimum.Please note that regardless of our recruitment status, we are always on the lookout for exceptional applications from both raiders and social members.LOOT DISTRIBUTIONWe reach the consensus of who gets loot with the majority of the members in the raid at the time, awarding people who need it most, but also have proven to be valuable additions to the guild. A Loot Council addon is used to achieve this - select members of the raid are chosen voters for the decisions on loot with Raid Leader having the final say.RAIDING SCHEDULEMain progression raids:Wednesday 20:30 - 23:00Sunday 20:30 - 23:00Free Social raids:Friday 20:30 - 23:00APPLYINGVisit and create an account on our website.

I went to a Gastroenterologist and pretty much diagnosed myself. I told him that I believe my situation is mainly mental since it really occurs while at school. I get a lot of gas and fear my stomach making embarassing sounds. Therefore, I do understand your situation!
My mother does. It causes bleeding and pain. She has learned that there are certain foods that trigger it..for her it's mainly apples and lettuce, though she has eaten them all her life, the last time she ate apples it landed her in the hospital because of dehydration.

Blood trickled down the corner of my mouth as my brother once again used his unnatural strength to throw me roughly to the ground. The impact drew the breath out of my lungs as my head hit against the mat.
My twin's violet-blue eyes- a reflection of my own- flashed with only a moment of concern before going at me once again.
But I was ready.
I threw myself off the mat, rolled, and dodged his attack. I demanded my inner demon to reflect the strength that my brother was showing.
I balled my fists as aimed for my twin's throat- a quick strong attack if done correctly.
However, he blocked it easily. He made a jab at me with a full fist, but my inner demon summoned my unnatural strength, and without hesitation, I jabbed my twin's upper abdomen. His body clamped up as I hit the pressure point perfectly with my demon strength.
Eli fell to the ground, his body stiffing as he slammed down onto the mat. I gave him a quick smile as I wiped the blood off my lip. But my victory did not la...

|"实在"类情态副词的句法语义研究 = The Syntax and semantics of Shizai-type modality adverbs
|Wang, Hong (王宏)
|Hong Kong Polytechnic University -- Dissertations
Chinese language -- Adverb
|Issue Date:
|The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
|汉语中的情态副词一般认为具有语义虚空抽象的特点,只可意会,不可言传,通常说它们是表达说话人的某种情绪或态度。然而情绪或态度并不能看做是词语本身的语义,而是由语义派生的,词语深层的语义还有待揭示。同时当前的词典及工具书中的释义也只适用于母语使用者,而对外国人而言,这些释义都不够清晰,往往会误导他们。这些都使情态副词在对外汉语教学中无论对教师还是对学习者来说都成了难点问题。本文针对这一问题,以解决对外汉语教学中的问题,帮助教师和学生更好地理解这些词为目的,运用现代语言学的分析论证法研究了 "简直、实在、根本"等几个教学中常见的难点词语,对它们进行了深入细致的语义分析,挖掘并论证了其深层的语义并解释了这些词一些与语义有关的句法表现。最后,我们还将它们与其它相近的词语进行比较,揭示其最本质的区别。希望我们的研究能对这些词的对外汉语教学及词典编撰有所帮助,同时也能对国内的情态副词的研究在方法上有一个推动作用。我们的结论是:"简直"所在命题表示事物的某个性状程度的主观极值态,而 "简直" 表示极度接近该极值态。因此 "简直" 所在命题的谓语必须具有可分级 (gradable)和极值的特性。"几乎" 与 "简直" 的区别在于三点:主客观的不同,性质的不同,接近对象的不同。"实在" 所在命题表示事物性状所达到的某种程度,而 "实在" 表示达到该程度的标准值,其功能在于取消了一般交际中默认的水分,增加其量值。因此 "实在" 所在命题的谓语也具有静态、可分级的特点,但它可以是量标上的任意一点。"的确" 与它的区别在于 "的确" 句是有预设的,是对预设表达的情况的确认。因此 "的确" 对命题没有选择要求。"根本" 表示当前命题与预设或背景中另一命题之间完全对立的关系,因此具有触发预设的功能。可分为两种:一、表明新命题与预设之间的对立,因此有否定预设的功能。二、表明当前命题与对比命题之间的对立。"根本" 与 "并(不)"的区别在于:一 "根本" 表示的是两个命题之间的对立,其背景命题可以不是预设中的而是上下文中的,而 "并(不)"是对预设的否定;二 "根本表示的是完全的对立或相反,用于否定时是完全的否定,而 "并(不)" 可以是完全的否定也可以是部分的否定。"偏偏" 的语义可以归结为一个,即表示事实与预设的偏离,只是因为预设的不同而产生了不同的解读。因预设与事实有个对比,所以就产生了焦点,"偏偏" 具有对焦点敏感的特性,因此可视为焦点敏感算子。
Modality adverbs in Mandarin are usually thought to be a kind of empty words with abstract,subtle meaning and very hard to express in words. They are often described as words indicating certain emotion or attitude of the speakers. But emotion and attitude are derived and secondary, and cannot be regarded as words' meaning. Meanwhile, such interpretations in dictionaries or reference books, may look clear and appropriate for Chinese native speakers, are always ambiguous and misleading for foreign students. It makes modality adverbs a big trouble in Teaching Chinese as a L2 both for teachers and for foreign students. This work, aiming to resolve some problems in Teaching Chinese as a L2 and to help the teachers and foreign students have a better understanding on these words, chooses some common but difficult modality adverbs in teaching like jianzhi, shizai, genben and pianpian and gives detailed semantic and syntactic analysis. I refine and demonstrate their underlying essential meanings, and try to account for some of their syntactic behavior related with semantics. Then I compare them with words have similar meaning or function, reveal their basic difference. I argue that: The propositions in which jianzhi exists express a subjectively extreme state of certain property or situation and jianzhi indicates approaching the extreme point of particular property or state of the subject. So the predicates of the propositions must be gradable and at the extreme point consequently. The differences between jianzhi and jihu lie in three aspects, i.e. the difference of subjectivity and objectivity, the difference of their nature, the difference of the objects they approaching. The propositions that shizai exists in indicate a state of the subject or the degree of a state and shizai indicates 100% reaching the standard value of that state or degree and it function as cancelling the discount in people's statement and increasing the value. So the predicates of shizai sentence are also stative and gradable, but it can be at any point in the scale. dique is distinguished from shizai mainly in the existing of presupposition or not. Dique is used to confirm the condition that a presupposition states. So there is no semantic selection limitation with its proposition. Genben indicates the proposition it exists in is completely opposite to another one. There are two cases: one is that Genben indicates the opposition of the present proposition and presupposition and so can be used to deny a presupposition; another indicates the opposition of the present position and a contrast one existing in the context. The difference between genben and bing(bu) lies in two: genben indicates the complete opposition between two propositions, and the background proposition can exist in context but not a presupposition. While bing(bu) only used to deny a presupposition and can partially deny. Pianpian's three meanings can be united into one, i.e. indicating the departure of the real situation from presupposition. The different reading is due to the difference of the presupposition. And the contrast between two propositions results a comparing focus. Pianpian is sensitive to the focus and should be regarded as a focus-sensitive operator.

Grandma's Attic
I'm so excited to have discovered more of my family history this week. I've heard some of the names and stories before, but it made more sense as Mom and I looked through old photo albums that were in my Grandma's attic. We found infinite boxes of pictures, scrapbooks and even journals that were brought by relatives when they sailed to America from Germany in the 1800s.
This blog photo shows some of the treasures from Grandma's house in Illinois that I brought back to my home in Wisconsin. I'm a little embarassed that all last week was spent getting rid of stuff in my own basement! I really tried to be selective in my Grandma's attic - but tell me who can resist keeping her Great-Great-Great-Grandpa's wooden handled fork. Or Great-Grandpa's baby socks. Or postcards sent during her Great-Grandparents' courtship. Forget trying to leave behind the Haviland wedding china, tin play tea set, skeleton keys, engraved pocketwatches, rhinestone necklaces and clip earrings. And there is always room for a box of vintage firework sparklers.
My husband-the-stuff-hater was a good sport as he helped me unload my car last night. We enjoyed looking at my Great-Grandpa's farm accounting journal from 1904; he had taken dancing lessons - I love that! All the stories and memories attached to these treasures warms my heart, so I'm not going to worry about where to put them just now. Hearing the old stories again and learning new ones with my mom, aunt, sister and cousins this week was good for the soul.
Now I'm just waiting for dusk to get here so I can light the sparklers in honor of my Grandma's 90th birthday, which would have been today.

if sum1 knw d solution plz hlp.
I've been reading through all the posts about conditioning my Wave's battery and I wanted to ask for clarification about some thing.
Are you guys with 3-5 days worth of charge completely discharging the batter to 0% (until it powers off) then charging it to 100%.
Once it is 100% you unplug the charger and turn the phone on again?
I thought that fully draining this type of battery to 0% could be harmful.
My battery lasts about 1.5 days of moderate usage and I have been draining it to 5-9% charging to full then unplugging it within an hour of it getting to 100% again. I always turn the phone off before I charge it. When the phone is fully charged I turn it back on. I have repeated this 5 times by now.
Do you have any suggestions about my battery life? My phone is usually locked. I have wifi off and packet data off. My brightness is at 1 and I have turned off the positioning options completely.
p.s. I have no wigets running (except the birthday wiget occasionally and only 3 homescreens).
p.s.s. my firmware is 1006151358LISUGJF5
Thanks for your help in advance.
I have used nearly five phones but found some trouble in all the models.. i got SAMSUNG WAVE a month ago and found everything good. Super AMOLED display, Good camera with thunder like flash, Astonishing processing speed, Games with superb graphics, Best user interface, Long lasting battery, Amazing browser... lot to say about my.. I got a crisp name for WAVE.. Its "Mr. Perfect".. WAVE rocks... Better than SAMSUNG GALAXY..
Indian Waver, 28 Aug 2010Well - Blackberry bold or Samsung Wave - indeed
As many of us would have said in earlier po... moreOne more thing - feature for feature Wave beats Bold hands down, except for email security.
So unless you send and receive very confidential mail, either officially or personally, you could consider Wave with out any much ado.
Infact European union has standarddized on iPhone and HTC phones for their employees, not Blackberry. Well, Wave was not around when the took this decision. :-)

As many of us would have said in earlier posts, it boils down to personal preferences. All the parameters that you have mentioned are thing that both Bold and Waver will satisfy. Infact almost any smart phone will satisfy them.
I use a Blackberry bold 9000 for offical pursposes and now a Wave for personal use. Both satisfy their own requirements.
Bold is a bit bulky, and it once had its surface wearing off. I had to get it changed. But the device performed flawlessly and under adverse conditions - High humidity, extreme cold. And where ever there was GPRS / EDGE, mail mails synced. Yes, camera was bad by Wave's standard as was browsing.
Wave customizability and build is what I liked. I am not much into socal networking, so haven't checked out SNS on Wave though. Games are goodon wave too.
HI friends..... i jus bought the wave a week ago..... its simply amazing n mindblowing ....
jus go for it....

Thanks :-)
