Do you think He cares to see only kneeling figures and to hear only tones of prayer - and that He does not also love to see the lambs leaping in the sunlight, and to hear the merry voices of the children, as they roll amoung the hay? Surely their innocent laughter is as sweet in His ears as the grandest anthem that ever rolled up from the "dim religious light" of some solemn cathedral?

Real estate developer Tom Greenwood plans to open what's believed would be DeWitt's first winery next fall, and he plans to follow that later with a barbecue restaurant and catering operation.
The Greenwood Winery on Collamer Road will likely open in fall 2013, Greenwood Said. He expects to produce about 2,300 cases of wine annually to start.
"This is something I've wanted to do since I was in high school," said Greenwood, 58, who has developed projects including Northwood Business Park, the Jefferson Center, Century Plaza and Canalwood Commons.
"Winemaking is something I enjoy, and I want to do something creative and artistic that people will appreciate and enjoy," he said. "And I really like the idea of doing it in my own hometown."
Greenwood, president of Greenwood Real Estate since 1978, said this new business would fulfill his own personal dream of running a winery.
Greenwood, a Jamesville-DeWitt High School graduate who now lives in Manlius, plans to expand a barn in front of Northwood Business Park and turn it into a winery/tasting room. The barn is right next to his 1½ acre experimental vineyard. Along with his own grapes, he'll purchase grape juice from other sources.
Greenwood is in the process of applying for his farm winery license, and securing the necessary permission from the town of DeWitt.
He's invested several hundred thousand dollars already in equipment, including Hungarian, French and American oak storage barrels, automated bottling equipment and has ordered a crusher/presser from Italy. He also had lab equipment set up to monitor pH, acidity, alcohol, temperature and more.
He has set up his own drip irrigation system, which waters only around vines so as not to waste water, he said.
Next spring, he'll plant more grapes on a portion of the 65 acres he owns on Collamer Road in the town of Manlius. He also wants to grow vegetables, apples and eventually raise beef and pigs there. His goal is to have an agritourism operation there, with farm tours.
But is building a winery in a suburban town away from any of the Finger Lakes — a major center of the state's wineries — going to ever work?
Small wineries are popping up all over New York state, said Timothy Martinson, senior extension associate with Cornell University's horticulture department.
Ten years ago, there were about 150 small wineries; now there are more than 300, he said.
Many of them seem to succeed and flourish, he said.
Grapes are being grown commercially in 80 percent of the state's counties, Martinson said.
What about our harsh winter?
The grapes Greenwood is growing are special varieties developed by Cornell University and the University of Minnesota to withstand extremely cold temperatures. Normally, grapes in the state need to be grown near a lake, because that helps to moderate the winter's low temperatures,
These winter-hardy grapes don't need that to occur, so they can be grown in a much wider variety of places, Martinson said. For example, there are about 60 acres of grapes now being grown near Watertown, in Jefferson County. And there is even a vineyard in the Tug Hill, he said.
Greenwood said he's been interested in winemaking for years, took courses. has attended seminars and toured numerous wineries to learn all he could.
"I've always been interested in agriculture," he said. 'I like to cook and bake, make jam and this is just another part of that.
"And while I like chemistry and biology, I didn't get to use that part of my brain in real estate development," he said. "Now I can."
Greenwood says his goal is to make wine people really enjoy drinking, "and not wines people are supposed to like," he said. For example, people actually prefer the sweeter wines, he said.
"There are 1,000 decisions you have to make when you make wine that all affect how your product tastes," he said. "That's everything from when to pick the grapes, to ripeness, when to press then, how and what to store them in and at what temperature and for how long, and what additives to use. You never know it work exactly, and that's a challenge. And I like experimenting."

Guess what came in the post today guys; a shiny new book! Its called 'Style Diaries World Fashion from Berlin to Tokyo' Written by Simone Werle who is also the author of 'Fashionista: A Century of Style Icons'. Supposedly this book contains 50 of the worlds most inspirational fashion bloggers, I'm on page 64 which makes me feel rather special. Tahti Syrjala, Cosette Munch and Shan Shan (some of my favorite lookbookers) are also in there! I noticed one of her other books was being sold in Urban Outfitters, I hope this one will be! It can be purchased here.
On monday me and my friend Lou went shopping, although we didn't go to any charity shops, but I made up for that yesterday when I hopped on a bus and had a really good charity shopping trip where I found lots of lovely stuff, so I'll post about that soon!
Thanks for reading!

An abundance of beautiful horizons this week
We saw another great turnout this week for our photo contest. The prompt was "sunset," and over 300 members turned in their submissions of sunset and sunrise pictures with their Android devices. As we've come to expect, we saw dozens upon dozens of fantastic shots, each with their own bit of creative flair.
Although we wanted to pick far more winners, unfortunately we had to pick just one this week to win a BRAVEN 570 Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker. Hit the break and see the winning photo submission.
Winner of a BRAVEN 570 Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker, punkrockchop!
The view doesn't get much better than that, does it? A view of Rio de Janeiro from above — and to come down on the cable car while the sun is setting, that just puts it over the top. Great entry.
Keep an eye on your doorstep and mailbox for a package, the Bluetooth speaker is on its way!
Thanks again to everyone else who entered, and keep your eyes peeled for the next photo contest. We want the chance to give away more great prizes to everyone, so keep taking pictures and entering them!

My favorite kind of client is someone who continues to need help with projects. This client came to me needing a 4-page mini-catalog to sell screenprint apparel. The result is shown below.
[printed full color, finished size 8 1/2"x11"]
A little while later they needed a 2-sided flyer for disposable glove sales.
[printed full color, 8 1/2"x11"]
Then it was a scratch-off card to encourage sales among customer service representatives. Sell a case of gloves and you get one card with a minimum prize of a $10 gift certificate. A silver scratch-off circle was applied over the white circle, just like a lottery ticket. That would entice me to sell more.

Winning the Grammy for Best New Artist quickly turned dark for Esperanza Spalding: Right after the ceremony, Justin Bieber's army turned on the previously little-known jazz bassist and vocalist with great scorn and resolute anger, and innacurately modified her Wikipedia page. But, now, finally, there is a positive for Ms. Spalding in this whole mess: She made it into our weekly weekend concert roundup! Spalding pops up alongside Pete Yorn, Bruno Mars, Cold War Kids, Robyn, News Boys, and Juanes, plus no fewer than two legendary bands with umlauts in their names.

Counterfeit clothes are rebranded for those in need
Published Tuesday, 17 April 2012
Over 3,000 counterfeit clothing items are losing their labels and being rebranded for distribution to vulnerable living in Enfield.
The clothes were seized by Enfield Council's Trading Standards officers and donated to His Church for distribution to the needy.
Richard Humphrey, senior co-ordinator at His Church, said: "We are extremely grateful for this clothing and pleased that we can rebrand it and return it to Enfield where it will go to people in great need. This means that many families and people in need can make use of clothing that would have been sold at inflated prices. I am delighted that we can help people in this way and make good use of the clothing."
Ibrahim Guder, 33, of Willowfield, Harlow, was convicted of 12 offences under the Trade Marks Act and was sentenced to nine months imprisonment for 10 of the offences and eight months for two others on Friday 9 March. The sentences will run concurrently. The court has also ordered that all the property seized should be destroyed but Enfield Council's trading standards team is handing over the goods to 'His Church' a charity based in Lincolnshire who will rebrand them and return them to Enfield.
Trading Standards officers and police visited an upstairs office in Ponders End in December 2008 and found 2,891 items with a retail value of more than £20,000 ready for sale over the Christmas period. Investigations revealed that Ibrahim Guder was responsible for the hoard and he was charged with 12 offences and found guilty of 10 offences by a jury at Southwark Crown Court on 10 February2012, admitting the other two during the trial.
Among the items found were counterfeit clothes by a number of fashion houses including Ralph Lauren shirts, Louis Vuitton handbags, Links of London jewellery, Nike trainers, Timberland boots, Chloe T-shirts, Prada purses, Stone Island sweaters, Moschino jeans, Fred Perry shirts
D&G jeans, History Iceberg jeans and Scarface T-shirts.
The police tipped Enfield Council off about the clothing in Ponders End. Once there, officers found a photograph of Mr Guder attached to a printer as well as his mobile phone, car keys and a computer. Enfield Council's Cabinet Member for Environment, Cllr Chris Bond, said: "The sale of counterfeit items is not a victimless crime, these items are usually extremely poor quality and in many cases their sale helps to fund more serious crimes such as people smuggling, drug dealing and prostitution.
"I would urge residents to let us know if they think traders are dealing in counterfeit items so we can investigate and take action if necessary.
"This case sends a strong message that we do not tolerate counterfeiters operating in our borough and we will bring them to justice regardless of how long it takes. This prosecution is an excellent example of the strong partnership work between our trading standards and legal teams and the police."

"Now," those Plumbago lips say, "You are going to tell me your story like you just did. Write it all down. Tell that story over and over. Tell me your sad-assed story all night." That Brandy queen points a long bony finger at me. "When you understand," Brandy says, "that what you're telling is just a story. It isn't happening anymore. When you realize the story you're telling is just words, when you can just crumble it up and throw your past in the trashcan," Brandy says, "then we'll figure out who you're going to be."
Yara revealed that her merciful impulses backfired and resulted in Tychus burning down VeraLi's village. The party left the woods and headed out to Nomad, where they had a sighting of an odd airship. Lance discovered that the villagers make their profit largely by selling Koru Behemoth dung, which is rich in magical energies.
In Nomad, they encountered the airship again. Blayne Randervale had a bit of an engineering problem aboard the Fiery Sabre and the PCs sorted everything out, coming aboard for a trip over to the approaching Behemoth. En route they drunkenly unraveled some of Blayne's secret past and maybe Charity did something she shouldn't have.
They were then attacked by enraged harpies who were mad that the party had driven off their husbands, the Beatboxing Fat Boys Sirens, and now the harpies had to put up with them loafing about at the house instead of being out and about wrecking ships for something to take home.

2015 FIFA Women's World Cup
by Michele Walker, SIRC
It was officially announced today that Canada will be hosting the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, and now six cities across the nation will start the preparations to host this massive soccer event. Seven cities are actually currently on the list as hosts, and one of them will need to be dropped following the site evaluation visits. They are Vancouver, Montreal, Halifax, Ottawa, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Moncton. This announcement also means that Canada will now host the 2014 Women's Under-20 World Cup as a test event.
The announcement was actually expected after Zimbabwe, the only other country vying to host the quadrennial event, pulled out just a few days ago citing that they did not have the bandwidth to hold this tournament to the standards expected. But still, Canada had to wait until the evaluation was completed before FIFA , the world governing body of football (soccer), could award the event to the Canadian Soccer Association.
Held every four years, the first Women's World Cup tournament was held in 1991 (in China), 61 years after the Men's first FIFA World Cup tournament in 1930. The current format for women has 16 teams but the 2015 tournament will see the field expand to 24 competing nations – truly a testament to the global popularity of the women's game. As host, Canadians, old and new, will benefit from the legacy the sport will leave behind, both from a venue and participation standpoint.
Canada successfully and previously hosted the inaugural Women's Under-20 World Cup in 2002, as well as the Men's Under-17 World Cup (in 1987) and the Men's Under-20 World Cup (in 2007).

"I hope that during the 26 days in Swettenham Pier, there will be good interaction with our own rich culture here in Penang to strengthen the love of knowledge and friendship between peoples," said Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng at the official opening ceremony of Logos Hope here.
Other than the wide availability of books, the visitor experience deck is also open to public to explore along with the International Cafe offering snacks, drinks and ice cream.

Yesterday I posted this canvas I created for a recent swap. It changed a lot along the way, so I thought I would share the process along with some photos I managed to take while creating.
The first step was adding inky, "dirty" paper towels to the canvas with a 50/50 mixture of gesso and mat medium - a "faux" plaster technique. I separated the plies of paper towel to add just one ply and "smoothed" this into the wet mixture creating wrinkles and texture.
Once fully dry (takes quite awhile) I covered it all with another coat of gesso. Note - if your towels have spray ink or other mediums on them, which are not permanent, you will never get back to pure white! But it's a great way to avoid the "blank canvas" syndrome.
When that was dry, I added modeling paste through an irregular diamond-pattern stencil.
Next came the fun part - adding all the bits and bobs. In this photo you can really see what all I added - everything but the kitchen sink! I had forgotten to clean my paintbrush with gesso in it and it sat overnight. It was unsalvageable so I decided to add it to my piece. Other things added were: buttons, a plaster frame, chipboard pieces, screws, paper flowers, beads, bottle cap, resin flower, hinge, wood plug and a few assorted metal pieces.
Several more coats of white gesso blended everything together to prepare for the colors.
Here's where I stopped taking photos! I added turquoise and magenta spray inks, blotting up and adding more until I was happy with the look. The finishing touches were dry-brushing over textures with gesso and adding some silver metallic paste to some high areas.
This is such a fun technique - I hope I've inspired you to make one of your own!

The Profit's Marcus Lemonis Is A People Person
The bankroll of CNBC's business-turnaround show spoke to Previously.TV about what sets it apart from 'fluff-and-buff' shows.
I spoke with The Profit guru Marcus Lemonis prior to the second episode of CNBC's business-turnaround show, and asked him a few of my tinder questions. Is he content with what's shown of the process? Why can't family businesses thrive with the second generation? And is Mr. Green Tea going to show up on every CNBC show, or just this one and Crowd Rules?
He offered to let me call him again with more nerdy micro questions later in the season, a gesture he'll come to regret. ("Vehicle wraps?!" "...Buntsy, it's three in the damn morning.") In the meantime, here's what Lemonis had to say about the show, his People Process Product "platform," and what might happen in a second season.
On whether an unfamiliar business sector makes Lemonis uncomfortable
On the first day of any of 'em, there's obviously some level of uncomfortableness, because you're trying to understand the landscape, and the product's not that complicated but it's still foreign. So the first day there's a high level of uncomfortableness, maybe for three hours, and that subsides pretty rapidly.
On whether he's happy with what's accomplished as of an episode's final cut
Well, last week's episode, I'm really really pleased with; obviously what matters more is what happens after, not what happens during the show, and I know people like to watch the show; it's the execution and follow-through after that's probably way more relevant than the stuff that we show you, which is a microcosm of that piece.
This week's episode, I would say that I'm just flat-out pissed. I mean, I lost a hundred and fifty thousand dollars [on Jacob Maarse, the Pasadena florist], that's real money, that's not like … none of the money is any money but mine, the network's not pitching in in terms of the danger involved, and this is not a fluff-and-buff show. This isn't like putting tablecloths and putting some curtains up. I put a lot of money in that deal, and I think what's more upsetting than that is, we have some footage that we were not able to incorporate into the show, that happened after the last argument, that the owner, he tells me that business is better than ever and morale is the best it's ever been, and I said, "Well, okay, so that's -- you need to follow through on your handshake," and he says, "Why would I -- you fixed my business, I don't need you." [NB: I believe we did actually see florist scion Hank Maarse showing his ass in those exact words. -- ed.]
On why a second-generation business is so likely to fail
I've seen this for years, kids inheriting, an unexpected death happening, or some reason that these second generations [are] in the position they're in. They have no passion for it, and you know, typically when a business gets started, it started out as some desire, some passion, some inspiration, and if you are thrown into a job where you just don't want to be there, you just have no excitement -- what do you think the results are gonna be? They're not going to be as good as if you were the original founder of the business, okay.
There are cases where the second generation brings new ideas and innovation and technology to the existing business. There's one episode [of The Profit] that will be a second-generation business, but that father and son are working together now so that it'll be more of a baton-handing.
On how that business, Crowd Rules vet Mr. Green Tea, got another swing at the CNBC piñata
I was getting intimately involved with the casting, because I'm not gonna put my own money into something I don't like. And I watched the [Crowd Rules] episode. We were literally in the middle of production; we had all the companies chosen; and I watched the episode and fell in love with the family dynamic -- and I love ice cream, I'm a big candy guy. And I called the network and said, "Look, these people" -- they should have won, first of all, in that episode, but that's neither here nor there, and they hit the jackpot anyway -- and I called the network and said "Look, I want an audible here, I love these people. Would you consider allowing them to be one of the companies that I take a look at." A lot of hemming and hawing, they had been on the show previously, but we ended up having them.
An unbelievable family -- I mean, family businesses rarely work; there's obviously the same drama dynamics you'd find in any wonderful loving Italian Jersey family. But they're awesome, and I can tell you that it ends up being one of my favorite experiences -- I don't mean about the episode; one of my favorite business experiences in recent memory.
On whether the, um, "casual" business practices we see are the rule of these businesses, or the exception
You know, I'm very careful not to call it incompetence in all cases. Some cases it's just lack of knowledge, or lack of resources, or lack of experience that result in … you'll find that across all of these, the simplicity at which they operate their business. ... "Let's have half a million dollars of inventory on a scratch pad." "Let's have nine hundred thousand and put a hundred thousand in an inventory system." But you're gonna find that over and over again, and in some cases, in Episode 3 which is the popcorn episode, it's even more pronounced.
One of the things I talked to the network about doing is, this is really gonna be a very different show than anything I can think of, this isn't Gordon Ramsay, this isn't Shark Tank, this isn't any of those shows -- if you like those shows, you're gonna like ours more, because it's just different. … I can tell you that everything that you see happens, and sometimes it kind of zig-zags a little bit or confuses people, because that's kind of how it really happened, and I didn't want to follow what they call story beats or story themes the whole time. I followed the business story, and if it led to a good episode, great, if it didn't lead to a good episode, that's not -- my job is to make good business decisions, not make good TV, if that makes any sense.
On whether the aired version is "realistic" -- i.e., does the audience see the micro decisions that make the difference
Obviously, there's 42-odd, 43 minutes in an episode and I shot, in some cases, hundreds of hours. And it's always tough because I watch the episode when you watch the episode, and you want to make sure that the point gets across, and of course, in every episode I'm like, "Aw, I can't believe they didn't show that thing where I was talking about the balance sheets," and I'll ask about it and they'll be like, "It was really boring." Well, it wasn't boring to me but we only have 42 minutes and we gotta shrink it down to these stories.
The one thing that [the network] did tell me from the beginning, and this is absolutely true, make sure that you know your audience, and be very deliberate when you explain things, to not only be, to the viewer, trying to teach them something, but to the business owner themselves. … Be literally like a professor in a classroom, where you have to talk a little slower, and simplify the concepts. And it was a great lesson … when I get emotional or get frustrated, I launch into my normal jargon, and they would look at me like I was from Mars. It was still my show to do, but they just cautioned me to try to know my audience regardless, and that was good advice.
On People, Process, and Product
You take a look at a business, and there's three components. You know, process is important, how you buy things, how you sell them, how you inventory them, what processes, literally think of like an assembly line from start to finish. The product is the product or service that you're selling, whatever that may be … but the people side is always the wild card. You can always improve the process; you can determine if the product is obsolete or not, but you can't fix the people.
If I go into a business and I love the people -- they work hard, they're ethical, they have all these things -- I'll spend way more money and time trying to fix something. If I love the process and I love the product, but I hate the people? It doesn't matter how cheap the deal is, it doesn't matter how much money I'll make; I won't do the deal.
… And I ran into a couple, there's one in L.A., the dog episode, where it's unbelievable process, spectacular business, needed tweaking in that it wasn't as profitable as it could be, but I was -- it was just unbearable, I left, I couldn't take it.
On revisiting the businesses he invests in during a possible second season
We are in the middle of casting Season 2, and we will start filming in October for an airdate in January, at this point that's what's on the docket … what happens in Season 2, it's more important for people to get a summary of Season 1 in Season 2, than it is for them to see Season 2, from a content standpoint, because, to gain credibility over time, people have to see what worked and what didn't work. And it's not all gonna work, it's not a perfect science, and I think as long as we're honest and nothing feels manufactured, if it works, great, if it doesn't work, let's tell people why. It could be that the business owner, when we left, veered off course and crashed the car.
On why he changed Car Cash's color scheme
Number one, I like the colors, and in my current businesses, Camping World and Good Sam, those happen to be the colors, so I was very comfortable with them…
I'm also rolling Car Cash out in my hundred stores around the country, and I wanted it to be an easy integration; I didn't want to bring orange into my store. It's gonna look like a Starbucks inside of a Barnes & Noble, and I wanted it to look more seamless. In fact, if you look closely at the logo, in Car Cash, there's a halo over the word "Cash," and the business that I own is called Good Sam, and there's a halo in Good Sam's, so it wasn't totally by accident. … I tried not to make it too pronounced, but that was the reason I chose that color scheme and -- it allows me to interchange things, and interchange artwork. I do a lot of stuff with NASCAR today, and when I do signage or things of that nature, it allows me to pop in and out logos pretty easily and not have to change the whole thing.

Rollei ATP 1.1 (35mm, 32 iso) User-Review16 24 Share Tweet
The ultimate Black and White film!
My friend rater offered me one roll of this film recently (Gracias hermano!). It was really a nice present, because I discovered a film that definitely amazed me, and pushed me to write my first film review about it.
Let's be clear. It is pure BLACK and WHITE. Contrasts are crazy and the grain is ultra fine, I'm in love! I used a Canon F1N with a Zenitar lens (in which I had the red filter provided with it… This lens is so amazing that sometimes I think it would deserve a "lens review"!) and had the camera's exposure setting at 25 ISO.
The lab which processed the film burned two shots by accident. They didn't give me any detail, but I think that the process was a bit unusual which could also explain the crazy contrasts of these shots. In fact I've just ordered 10 rolls of it to make new test and If my next shots come out with the same quality, I will use this film a lot from now on.

Imagine how it would feel to download and play some of yesterday's classics like smart Mario and Sonic?
Using emulator software with your PSP is something that needs to be learned. In the first residence, you will need to earn maintain of some Emulation software for your PSP. This software is there to enable you to download and employ the games from other systems on your PSP. Along with objective about anything for PSP, there are many different places you can score this software from online, but a lot of them are completely disreputable and can cause harm to your PSP or your computer. We will now present you the proper places where you can download PSP emulator software.
As soon as you have been able to download PSP emulator software, you will be able to launch looking for games to apply it to. The game files which you utilize with emulation software are sometimes called Roms, and before you download these it is worth checking on the good dwelling. It can often be illegal to download roms for emulators, without having the unique developer of the software acquire the download property of the public domain, as can happen. One possible arrangement round this is that the law in a lot of countries will let you hold a backup copy of a game you have already bought. This means that if you have games on your dilapidated system, you can transfer them without any problems!
What you then need to do in downloading PSP emulator software is to check the firmware of your PSP. Some of the firmwares don't allow you to expend such software, and as a general rule you are better with an earlier one.

2. Dishonest sites that pretend to offer free memberships, but try to grab your credit card information as soon as you try to download. This is completely dishonest, and I for one don't like the concept of wasting honorable money on very, very ancient games that I already have.
3. suitable membership sites that charge you a one off fee for lifetime access to unlimited downloads. Sites like these are easily the best option to download PSP emulator software from, as they are managed by professionals, and offer a very expansive range of downloads at extremely friendly accelerate.

These articles were published in the Spectacular Slovakia travel guide, published annually by The Slovak Spectator since 1996. The latest editions can be obtained from our online shop.
By James Thomson
While life in Slovakia could be extremely hard work, it had its charms. One of the best places to experience them is at another surprisingly youthful technical monument: the water mill in Tomášikovo.
Tomášikovo is a small village a few kilometres south of Galanta. A kilometre beyond the village is the Malý Dunaj, a slow-moving branch of the Danube.
There are signs to the mill from the village, but some are small and hand-painted, so you will need your wits about you if you are not to end up on a minor Slovak safari down rutted tracks. The area is a maze of streams and canals which separate and re-join to form a delta-like landscape with the odd house or fishing hut appearing amid copses of trees.
The mill is in an idyllic spot. Now a branch of the Homeland Museum in Galanta, it is manned by a friendly chap whose main occupation seems to be fishing from the bridge connecting the mill to the bank.
Upon payment of the small entrance fee, he explains (in Slovak) some of the mill's history. The wooden structure was built in 1893 to mill flour, harnessing the power of the stream to turn a traditional millstone. A series of pulleys, belts and conveyors sifted the milled wheat into separate grades and bagged it.
The mill operated until 1952, when the property was nationalised. After falling into disrepair it was restored and maintained by the extraordinary efforts of a local enthusiast, Ján Maticza. Maticza died, aged 87, in 2007 but the fruits of his labour can still be enjoyed.
The mill wheel is now turned by an electric motor, which is switched on for a few revolutions for visitors. The Malý Dunaj, not exactly a raging torrent at the best of the times, was once dammed to divert the flow and power the wheel: the stream now largely bypasses it.
Surprisingly, considering the size of the wheel and the late date of its construction, none of the mechanism appears to employ ball bearings or any other modern industrial technology. Instead the main wheel's axle merely rests (and turns) on a large block of greased wood.
If the weather is good, the mill makes a great spot for a picnic - there is a wooden table and benches under the trees on the bank - or to camp; or even, with some local know-how from the mill attendant, to fish.

The whole foundation of the Conservative party's position on remaining in the EU is that it is possible to 'reform' the EU to achieve a degree of independence, instead of leaving. However, this week Jean-Claude Juncker the European Commission chief, blocked a bid for Britain to take back powers from Brussels. Telegraph
A European Commission official said firmly:
"No treaty change proposals are envisaged until after November 2019, the end of Mr Juncker's mandate as president of the commission."
Jean-Claude Juncker has ruled out any treaty re-negotiations while he remains president of the European Commission, which would leave the UK with no prospect of change until the end of 2019, two years after David Cameron promised the public referendum vote
Reaction to this has been strong and seems likely to strengthen the resolve of those wanting to leave the EU. "It is infuriating that such a man has managed to secure so much power. But those campaigning to get Britain out should ultimately view him as an asset to the cause. If British exit is achieved in 2017 Jean-Claude Juncker's dogged intransigence will have ultimately played a significant role in the fracturing of his beloved EU." Express
Stephen Pollard writes:
"For the Eurofanatics it's fine that Britain can be outvoted and we have to roll over because they have such contempt for the idea of the nation state that they positively relish it. But for the rest of us, a supposedly self governing democracy should have the power to govern itself. And it should certainly not be subject to the dictats of an unelected bureaucrat." Express
This latest move by Mr Juncker illustrates the problems of dealing with an institution where we have no control over who is put in power over us. Mr Juncker is not someone who would naturally be a choice of a democratic electorate, as this article on his background illustrates. Jean-Claude Juncker
Locally, any debate which we have involving our exit from the EU will now be coloured by this latest bombshell from the EU. It is hardly a coincidence that it comes pointedly so close to the election, as Mr Juncker's presidential appointment was vigorously opposed by Mr Cameron last year, preferring his own candidate.

Prom And Prejudice
By: Elizabeth Eulberg
Pub date: January 1st, 2011
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single girl of high standing at Longbourn Academy must be in want of a prom date.
After winter break, the girls at the very prestigious, very wealthy, girls-only Longbourn Academy are suddenly obsessed with the prom, which they share with the nearby, equally elitist, all-boys Pemberley School. Lizzie Bennet, who attends Longbourn on scholarship, isn't exactly interested in designer dresses and expensive shoes, but her best friend, Jane, might be-especially now that Charles Bingley is back from a semester in London.
Lizzie is happy about her friend's burgeoning romance, but less than impressed by Will Darcy, Charles's friend, who's snobby and pretentious. Darcy doesn't seem to like Lizzie either, but she assumes it's because her family doesn't have money.
Clearly, Will Darcy is a pompous jerk—so why does Lizzie find herself drawn to him anyway?
Will Lizzie's pride and Will's prejudice keep them apart? Or are they a prom couple in the making?
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single girl of high standing at Longbourn Academy must be in want of a prom date.
While the same can probably be said of countless other schools across the country, prom at Longbourn isn't just a rite of passage – it's considered by many (at least those who matter) to be the social event for future members of high society. Longbourn girls don't go to the mall to get their dresses. No, they boast couture from designers whose names adorn their speed dial.
Just look at the glossy six-page spread dedicated to more than a century of prom history in Longbourn's recruitment brochure. Or the yearly coverage in The New York Times Sunday Style section… or Vanity Fair… or Vogue. Fashion reporters and photographers flock to the Connecticut campus to scope out the fashion, the excess, the glamour of it all. It is Fashion Week for the silver spoon set...
Cute right? To read the remainder of this excerpt you can do so here. For more information on Elizabeth Eulberg and her novels you can visit her official website and blog.
I hope you all have a fantastic weekend! :)

NHL.COM --- Gone is the traditional rounded "elbow" of the goal cage and now, replaced by a shorter angle according to the NHL, which gives the net a squared look.
The padding inside the apron of the net has also been trimmed, allowing officials a better look at pucks that may have approached or just crossed the goal line. The NHL thinks this change will allow for better efficiency in real-time goal calls and also in video reviews, which were sometimes hindered by thick padding inside the net.
It's been two days of practice with the new-look nets, and though there are multiple small changes, the one thing that some players mentioned is how they look to a shooter's eye.
"I think the biggest thing is that it looks like a bigger net, to be honest with you," Nick Foligno told BlueJackets.com

The new regulations, collectively referred to as a "constitution for business," aim to simplify procedures for people setting up and running their own businesses, according to the country's development ministry.
The package details the rights and obligations of businesses and also regulates their relations with the public administration, Deputy Development Minister Mariusz Haładyj told Polish Radio's IAR news agency.
Whatever is not forbidden is permitted
The new rules include a presumption of entrepreneurial honesty and a principle of friendly interpretation of regulations whereby any doubts will be resolved in favour of the entrepreneur, officials also said, adding that a general rule in business will be that "everything which is not forbidden is allowed."
The programme will allow small entrepreneurs to run a business without the need to register it if their monthly income is less than half the national minimum wage. This measure could benefit about 75,000 people, including those who provide services such as private tutoring, according to the ministry.
The aim is to reduce the unregistered, tax-evading segment of the economy where people receive undeclared cash payments, officials have previously said.
Start-up package
Budding businessmen will be given special start-up incentives by being exempt from an obligation to pay social security contributions for the first six months. Later for two years they will be able to take advantage of more preferential treatment as part of the so-called "small social insurance" programme. Some 200,000 businesspeople will be able to benefit from this new measure every year, according to officials.
The "constitution for business" consists of a slew of legislation, including a draft entrepreneurship law that is scheduled to enter into force on March 1 and replace a business freedom law that was introduced in 2014 and has been amended more than 80 times since then.
The government outlined plans for its "constitution for business" almost a year ago at a conference in the southeastern city of Rzeszów.
In late October, Finance Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, the main architect of the government's "constitution for business," said the programme would simplify the tax system to the tune of PLN 3.8 billion (EUR 900 million) in savings for businesses over 10 years, according to a report.

I have made my Mary Jane slippers but am very concerned about slip and falls. I read many people have been using Puffy paint to combat slippery yarn slippers. So what the heck I gave it a try.
There are many products on the market that can be placed on the bottom of slippers so that they will not slip, but of course they are more expensive than Puffy paint. The Tulip brand Puffy paint is on average only $1.47 a 1.25 oz tube.
I started by trying to read the directions on the bottle. WOW, I have never seen smaller print. Thinking I am smarter than the average bear, went online to the Tulip site for the directions. They only offered a very general directions on 3-d paint. I had to resort to magnifying the back of the bottle. If I did not do that I would have missed some very important information like you have to steam the paint for it to puff.
After dotting up the bottom of the slippers and waiting 4 hours for it to dry, I steamed the paint and it changed from glossy black to flat black and may have looked a little puffy but I could not really tell a difference. I really did not like the look of the dots on the bottom of my cute as a button slippers. I think it would look better if I had did some sort of pattern or image.
Well, I waited 72 hours to make sure they were dry and tried them on for the big test. I am pleased to inform you that the puffy did create a less slip surface to the bottom of my knitted slipper. Of course, this does not replace a good ole fashioned rubber sole but does work rather well. I would suggest if you are giving knitted slippers to seniors, small children or anyone that has balance issues to use some sort of rubber sole or even Grippies to help prevent falling from slick soles.
I have decided to use the Puffy paint on the slippers that I will be giving out this Christmas. Of course, I will not be giving any to anyone who has any balance issues this year. Also, I will be creating a better design on the bottom of the slipper dots just will not do.

hello forumers.
its been a while since ive used flash,and im struggeling with a command id normaly do within seconds.
im trying to add a stop action on one of my layers,i know the action script is stop ( ) ;
but i cant recall how to add it only to the particular layer.
im affecting the whole scene when i add a new layer and do the action.
how do i get around this?
thank you.
The stop() function is a timeline command, not a layer function, so if you place it on any layer of a timeline the entire timeline will stop at whatever frame that it is in. If you want something to stop independently of anything else in a timeline that is animating you need to create it as a movieclip with its own timeline that you can command to stop().
Thank you Ned
its about time i refresh my flash tutorials and practice :-)
You're welcome... practice is the key

Merry Christmas!! Wish you all a Merry Christmas!
I convey my sincere apologies to you, my readers, for not being very active lately. I hate to neglect my blog like this but trust me I have no way out. The last few weeks were so damn hectic and time went away just like that. :-( It kills me to think that I have not written a single review in the last month. Though I read a few books (4 to be precise), I couldn't take out enough time from my schedule to review any of those. But the worst phase is over (thankfully so!). I'll be busier than before but I'll definitely manage to contribute much more time in blogging than I've done in the past month.
Also, new year is just a week away, so I think this is the best time to give it all a fresh beginning! :-)
For that I require your help. Yes, I do. I want you peeps to answer some of my questions (which follows) and also to provide me with some suggestive ideas. My questions are:
- Do you think my blog design (template, layout, font, colours and everything) is fine? Or shall I change things? Shall I change anything in particular or the whole thing?
- Is there anything you want me to include in my reviews in order to make those better? (Any constructive criticism is welcome and much appreciated).
- Apart from reviews, memes and blog tours is there anything I can post about?
The blog design thing is bugging me a lot lately. Please share your honest opinions. I'll seriously be happy and grateful. I open to all suggestions. If you have any idea or suggestion (anything at all) just pour it here. I'd love to hear from YOU!
Lastly, I hope Santa Claus gave you all your desired gifts and that you're enjoying this holiday season fully! :-) Would you mind being my Santa Claus? Just comment below this post with your answers and suggestions - that will be the BEST GIFT for me!
Also I'd love to hear what did you get as your Christmas gift? Any fun experiences? Any memorable incident. Open your heart and say it all!
Once again wish you all Merry Christmas!!! :-) :-)

Name: Rice Crusted Fish Sticks
Package Description: All Natural, Gluten Free, Wild Caught Alaskan Pollock Fillets
Brand: Dr. Praeger's Sensible Foods
Grocer: Target
Price point: $2.64 on clearance, $5.29 regular price
Why I picked it up: GF fish sticks of this quality were worth taking a chance. I got all five boxes that were left on the shelf.
Summary of Preparation: Bake for 11 minutes, then flip and bake another 8.
Initial impression: Crunchy and so rich!
Lasting impression: These are absolutely incredible fish sticks. I don't say that about many breaded items, but man, these are way more awesome than store-brand regular (wheat coated) ones that you prepare in similar fashion. And my kids love them. The taste of the fish is so flavorful and succulent, way more than I was expecting. I ate about 8 of them (which is half the package), but I was also in my first trimester of pregnancy, so take that with a grain of salt. The size of the stick is about the same as the typical store-brand fish sticks I used to buy for the kids.
Caution, though, the breading tends to come off of the fish if you are hasty with flipping them over. See the below photo where my dear and darling husband used a spatula to do "four at once, honey, it goes quicker—-oops!" We cooked two boxes at once for a family meal in these photos.
The fish sticks are the plate on the right. Not all of the contents of two boxes fit on the plate, we were just serving family style for this meal to teach my kids how to serve themselves. The other items on this table are Ole Rida Tater Tots and Live G Free Deluxe Rice Shells and Cheese.
Recommended Accompaniments: Ketchup and tater tots. And a vegetable of your choice. You can't go wrong with these, really. Salad if you really want one?
Kid friendly: Yes. I gave my kids the intact fish sticks because they are still finger-food eaters, but if you have older kids that use their fork, then they can, of course, eat even the broken up sticks. They gobbled them up with the ketchup.
Repurchase point: Yes. Because I've had them, I know they are worth every penny. At $5.29 regular price, you would be paying $0.35 a fish stick, so I got a steal at $0.18 a stick. I'm on the lookout for them every time I got to Target, though it's unlikely that they will restock them. The "sell by" date was about a year from when I bought them, they were obviously clearance-ing out the item from inventory. The regular store-brand sticks are a $0.08 a stick, though (on BOGO sale), so just keep in mind that "you get what you pay for."

I love creating backgrounds for my paper projects and the new Simon Says Stamp challenge (make your own background) is perfect for me.
I made a tile with grunge paste, distress inks and embossing powder.
The tutorial can be found on Barbara Gray's blog.
The flowers and the leaves are from Sheena Douglass - Crafter's Companion.
I created the background for the flowers with shaving foam and Memento reinkers.

Kestle Barton is an ancient Cornish farmstead situated above the Helford River. Over the last five years we have carefully restored the farmhouse and converted the barns into a gallery and holiday cottages.
The core purpose of the project is to provide a centre for the arts in this beautiful rural setting, finding a new use for old buildings to welcome the local community and visitors alike. Our exhibitions change monthly and are open to the public, with each show also offering a programme of associated events and workshops.
The farm itself continues its ancient role of food production – beef, orchards and a new walnut nuttery – but is managed in a benign, organic system to allow the rich and varied wildlife a full place within its agricultural purpose.

Peyton Manning's miserable Super Bowl performance inspired a bit of innovation in a former teammate.
While he was watching Manning throw two interceptions and lose a fumble against the Seahawks in February, former Indianapolis Colts cornerback Brandon King thought it might be fun to make a game in which scoring is practically unthinkable.
"It was the most embarrassing game I ever saw him play," King told TMZ of Manning's Super Bowl. "I was like let me make an app where it's almost impossible to score on a defense."
In the app, called "Smashman," a quarterback bearing a resemblance to Manning is chased around by several defenders. Smashman, like Flappy Bird, requires the player to continuously tap the quarterback to help the character avoid obstacles. The goal is to score 44 points -- one more than the Seahawks put up against the Broncos -- but King told TMZ that, so far, no one has reached that number.
King teamed with Manning in Indianapolis for parts of 2010 and 2011. He saw action in a total of eight games and tallied three tackles. He is out of the league after getting released by the Lions before the start of the 2013 season.
King tells TMZ that the app has gotten 2,000 downloads in the first week of its release, and while Manning probably didn't account for any of those, he thinks the future Hall of Famer would get a kick out of the app.
"I think he would probably laugh," King said. "If anyone could laugh at it, it would be him."

Madonna suffered minor injuries last week after being thrown from a horse at a friend's Hamptons, N.Y., estate. The 50-year-old singer blamed the accident on paparazzi who "jumped out of the bushes" and spooked her horse. But the only photographer on the scene said, "I arrived more than 10 minutes after she fell, and I was shooting from the street."

It's about prices
Yes, we all like to hate Walmart. This is the reason I shop there occasionally:
I went to another local store to purchase a light bulb. It was $7.49. That seemed a little high, so I went to Walmart. It was $4.38. That is the reason people shop at Walmart.

Pundits claim our economy needs growth. So the good news: U.S. population grew by 60 percent and the world by 100 percent since 1960! Sing along with me: We're in the money; we're in the money; we're in the money now!

Pro-coal source?
I agree with Mr. Burkhardt (letters, Nov. 23) that the Hood River News would serve its readers well by presenting the views of those who favor running coal-dust-spewing trains through the Gorge.
If the paper would send one of its reporters to interview me, I would gladly make something up. So far I have been unable to find someone who supports this juggernaut.

Good service
We recently found our car with a dead battery after an overnight stay at Hood River. Gordon Pillon, service manager of Expertec Automotive Repair Inc. on the Heights, came to our rescue. Remember, we had never even been in their office prior to this incident; but it didn't seem to change the way they greeted us and offered suggestions and finally a battery cable assist to start our car.
I would recommend that the good people of Hood River would be wise to support this business. They will be glad they did, I'm sure.

Sturdy shelf
In a unique but in some ways fitting coincidence, the same issue (Nov. 23) of the Hood River News tells us of the death of Aileen Gaddy and the full-time reopening of the Hood River County Library.
Many of us owe Aileen a shelf full of "thank-yous" for her years of friendly and helpful service there. It's going to require a sturdy shelf.

Coal or bust?
The government sells leases for stripping coal from federal lands for almost nothing, which is then shipped hundreds of miles to the possible health detriment of people in the Gorge; then shipped thousands of miles to China to make steel and generate power which in turn fuels imports sold back to the U.S. at a substantial profit.
So, we give away our resources, pay higher medical costs, subsidize coal exports, allow China to undercut our domestic markets and then pay more for imports. Go figure.
Why don't we give away the coal for use ONLY in the U.S., pay for cleaner scrubbers on coal-fired energy plants, generate power to be used locally, subsidize makers of U.S. steel and take back the jobs we keep losing?

Let people vote
In looking at the Nov. 26 edition of the News, why am I not surprised at the protest and negative comments on the Walmart application for expansion? Some of these protesters are legitimate and some just like to be heard. Some, in this case, may be supported by outside interests.
After serving for 20 years on one elective body in our county, including president for more than one time and two appointed boards for the same length of time, I can attest to the fact that some would vote against "Motherhood and Apple Pie" just to be heard. Of course, our Constitution allows this.
By using the vote process this helps the body in charge to make their decisions. During this hearing process the opposition normally outnumbers the others and is used to appearing before boards/commissioners, etc., and is very articulate and convincing to the boards.
The majority of the people in most small towns are not in this category so are not represented. The only way to be represented is by the voting process when the issue is controversial.
My wife and I enjoy spending a few months in a warmer climate in the winter. In this small town where we reside the issue was the same and the pubic body charged with making the decision decided to have the people vote on the issue. Walmart won hands-down in this case.
We could do the same here. Unfortunately, I am not sure how the process works but I do know that only the local people would be involved. I do not know who paid the expenses of the election. I understand this has happened in other areas of our country, as well.
In the event this were tried in our town, Walmart would have to be involved as neither the county or city are well enough funded to do so in these lean economic times. The people would have to contribute time and money.
This procedure would solve the problem and the body having to make the decision would not be subjected to criticism for any decision that was made, as the people made the decision. This is how our system works when the people make the decision and the issue is normally not contested.
Am I in favor of Walmart? Not necessarily, as I would very much like to trade with the small Mom and Pop store rather than the large corporations. However, that is a change in our society that is here to stay. For the few items I have need for, and cannot find in town, I would hate to drive to The Dalles should this store close. Many employees would be affected, as well.
In the event this happened there would be an uproar that would be far and wide as, like them or not like them, the vast majority of people would be affected. Even in The Dalles, where many of their citizens are shoppers in our stores, including Walmart. To deny this permit would be ridiculous and just very poor business.

A noble act
It was such a great feeling to see Anthony do the "right thing" this weekend. I don't know Anthony's last name but Hood River should know what he did.
He alerted his mother that a woman's purse was left on a shelf in the pet department at Walmart. She immediately notified me of the find and the purse was returned to the rightful owner, who was still in the store.
Imagine her relief to see such a valuable item returned safe and secure. His correct thinking led him to the right decision and he took the right action.
Thanks Anthony, for making your family and us proud of you!

The Arizona Legislature has never been shy about weighing in on hot-button issues. (Exhibit A: SB 1070, the state's illegal immigration law.) The latest such move: a vote to allow public and charter schools to teach students about the Bible.
The Arizona House this week voted to allow high schools to offer a class called "The Bible and Its Influence on Western Culture," which would focus on how the Old and New Testaments have influenced everything from law to literature. According to the Arizona Republic, five states already provide similar classes: Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, South Carolina and Oklahoma.
The Arizona bill's opponents don't dispute that the Bible is a ripe topic for academic study. But some lawmakers predict a constitutional challenge, particularly because the course would not cover other religious texts. In fact, the Arizona House voted down an amendment that would have allowed schools to explore the Book of Mormon's role in Western culture.
Opponents also raised questions about how teachers would present Biblical stories. As parables? Myths? Literal truth?
"These types of classes sound good in theory, but in practicality they can be very difficult to pull off," Rob Boston, an analyst for Americans United for Separation of Church and State, told the Republic.
