Wind wars
Nuisance suits filed against wind energy projects was the subject of the lead article in the October 2009 issue of the California Law Review. Case law is still very limited. The author discusses four cases, only two of which involve large-scale projects, which "leaves advocates of expanded wind energy with unsettled precedent." The author concludes:
If the rights of neighbors are enforced too strictly, or if the public policies in favor of wind turbine development are neglected, then the nuisance mechanism will cease to be a protector of environmental rights and will become an impediment to environmental progress.

How much does confidence affect your game?
Football is a confidence game; when you're scoring, you can do no wrong. When it's the other way round, everything goes wrong. The law of averages plays a part. If you're shooting from distance 10 times a game, two might go in. If you're not shooting, you've no chance. When you're not on a run, you don't want to shoot and will set up someone else. You see strikers come out of their shell when they've scored. Drogba is an example – once he's scored, he'll shoot from anywhere. When we played him, he was quiet. But after he scored, he came alive.
More after the break
Are you superstitious?
Just silly little things. If I've scored in my boots, I won't change them. My current boots are knackered, but I can't change them now. I have to wait until I haven't scored before I'll bin them!
When things aren't going well, do you start trying different things in training?
Last year I didn't score a lot but I know the manager appreciated everything I was doing – it was just that the ball wasn't going in. It was the worst season I've had for scoring but I didn't do anything differently to what I do now. I know strikers are there to score, but in our team it's different – we have to do a lot of defending, so if you're not scoring, you make sure everything else is right.
Have you ever considered seeing a psychologist?
We had one at West Ham, Roberto Forzoni. He used to set us goals as a team. We were bottom of the league when he came in and we stayed up. I think it helped.
How difficult it is to perform when you feel like the crowd is getting on your back?
Every player at some stage has been pissed off with what people have said. It's how you roll with it that's important. You can't let it get to you.
Try and explain that feeling when the ball hits the back of the net…
I know it's a lame answer, but it's brilliant. It's not relief – more satisfaction. I take a lot of pleasure out of scoring.
Be honest, if the team win and you haven't scored, are you a bit deflated?
No, I'm happy. There are some who might take pleasure in scoring two and losing 3-2, but because the end result isn't what you wanted, it's not the perfect scenario, no matter what you might have achieved on a personal level. For every Premier League team, apart from the top few, it's about survival. The sooner you get points on the board the better.
What's easier, an instinctive shot at goal or finding yourself with time in a one-on-one?
An instinctive shot, definitely. When you've got time, you think 'Do I chip it, do I go round him?' Don't get me wrong, it's still a quick thought process, but those different options are there.
They say talent alone won't get you to the top. How important is the mental side of the game?
Talent is needed, but mental toughness is necessary. I'm sure few Premier League players lacked confidence at school. They were popular pupils, they had the banter. It's that confidence thing.
There is massive pressure on players from the media. Does it get to you?
I can't remember the last time I bought a newspaper – 99 per cent of what you read is just crap. Some people that write stuff haven't got a clue about football. That's not coming from me in a nasty way, but if I hear anything, I think 'OK, whatever'. I don't really watch football, either. If it's Manchester United vs Barcelona, then maybe, but a run-of-the-mill league game, I don't bother.
Is it good to be going onto the pitch with nerves in your stomach?
I very rarely have butterflies, certainly not at the big grounds like Old Trafford or Anfield. You don't have anything to lose there. Everyone expects you to get beat, so if you go and have a good game against Rio Ferdinand it's a bonus. It's the games you're expected to win that are the ones where there's more tension. But I'm not a nervous person.
Brad Busch, Mental skills coach from InnerDrive
"Bobby uses his experience well – he knows what works for him and plays to his strengths. He looks to learn, which no doubt played a key part in him becoming the player he is today.
It's interesting that he's had experience working on the mental side of his game before. No doubt more individualised work could see him push on even further. InnerDrive has been working with Carlton Cole over the past 20 months, a period which has seen him go from reserve team player through to England international.
One of the central tenets of our work is the belief that you never stop learning. Bobby demonstrates great ability to see the opportunity to improve. He knows that the people whose opinions matter are his manager and team-mates, and he doesn't get sucked in to what other people say. He's taking away a source of frustration, keeping his confidence high.
When one-on-one with a keeper, many forwards focus on what they don't want. If a player thinks 'don't miss the target', your brain creates the picture of the ball going wide.
Bobby describes his options in a positive command and in specific instructions. We coach players how to talk to themselves in such examples. This can have a huge impact on performance.
Bobby says he doesn't watch football on TV, but learning from others is a good thing. We encourage clients to look at what the best are doing, with a view to improving their game."

Comic-Con: "Guardians of The Galaxy"
Who the hell are you looking at? Hit the jump...
It looks like they're going with the more recent version, where the Guardians are an all-star (figuratively-speaking) team of cosmic/space-oriented Marvel characters. From left to right, the movie lineup seems to include:
DRAX THE DESTROYER - a Jim Starlin creation whose origin coincided with the first appearance of Thanos, who is the person Drax is supposed to be destroying.
GROOT - He's a talking tree; originating as one of Jack Kirby's many, many Earth-invading space-monsters from Marvel's pre-superhero days, later ressurected as a Hulk foe and more recently as part of Marvel's "cosmic" roster.
STAR-LORD - Human astronaut born under cosmically-influenced circumstances, eventually becomes a spacefaring paramilitary-type who has a Master Chief/Cortana kinda thing going on with his sentient, psychically-linked spaceship "Ship."
ROCKET RACCOON - He's exactly what he looks like. That's right, while certain other studios are wringing their hands about whether things as "weird" as Wonder Woman or "silly" as Robin can work on film, Marvel/Disney is headling a multimillion dollar space-epic with a talking, gun-toting raccoon.
GAMORA - Thanos adopted daughter, later turned "good." Usually wears significantly less clothing than pictured here.
It's going to be interesting to see how this is recieved. It'll be the first Marvel Studios film that's decidedly not a superhero movie (they've been touting it as something more in the vein of Star Wars) and it's easily the most obscure property they'll have adapted to the screen to date. One assumes that, with two Thanos-related guys on the team and Thanos' all-but-given stature as "Avengers 2's" heavy, they'll be counting on the "this sets up Avengers 2" factor to draw in the die-hards; but are mainstream audiences really going to line-up for what will look like "The Adventures of Tree-Person and Cartoon Animal?"
At some point, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is going to have to learn how to accomodate "niche" movies alongside four-quadrant blockbusters like they've been making so far. Edgar Wright's "Ant-Man," for example, is probably not destined to do "Thor's" numbers, but if produced responsibly with realistic goals it doesn't need to. "Guardians," on the other hand, is going to cost quite a bit to make and will have to do sizable business to be worth it, financially.
I wouldn't be surprised to see the individual members (or traces of them) turning up in the more familiar characters' sequels to try and get people more invested in them as things go on.
24 comments:
I'm looking forward to this, and Ant-Man as well.
But I really want a Black Widow/Hawkeye movie, come on there is so much room for potential right there! A sort of spy movie set amongst a world that's a little bit stranger then our own.
- Lido said...
this totally has the potential to work, and I mean really work, I don't see it as the kind of teen fodder that is Iron Man or...god help you TASM or the adult kind of film that Captain America or Dark Knight is, if this is played as way more of a strait forward skin deep kids scifi fun flick I think that'll sell.
- Christopher Delvo said...
I honestly hope that the post-credits reveal for Iron Man 3 has Rocket Raccoon showing up a la Nick Fury in the first one. That would be...amazing. If only to see what kind of look Downey Jr. will give to that situation. I'm going for mildly surprised or "At this point, who gives a fuck".
Raccoon: "Stark. We have to talk."
Stark: "Oh, yeah. Sure. Talk. Yeah, let's talk. There's a talking space-raccoon in my living room, and he wants to talk--you are a space-raccoon, right?"
Raccoon: "Yeah."
Stark: "Thought so. Sure, why not? Let's talk. Maybe I can get you a drink, too. *under his breath* Talking space-raccoon. Remember when I built hot-rods and slept with calendar models? Yeah, me neither."
- Joshua the Anarchist said...
As a DC fanboy, every time Marvel/Disney does something like this, I feel two things. My heart leaps for joy at the awesome things they're doing, then immediately shatters when I think of how at the opposite end of the spectrum, even greater potential is being squandered at Warner/DC. I'd like nothing more than to see both companies crank out awesome adaptions of my favorite increasingly obscure characters year after year. And while I'm wishing, I'd like Marvel to take a note from DC and stop sucking at making cartoons.
- James said...
No Moondragon. I am disappointed.
- Blue Highwind said...
Rocket Raccoon. Um... I don't know how he is in the comics, but I cannot imagine how this character could ever work. I'm picturing every terrible CG-only comic relief character right now, he'll probably be voiced by John Leguizamo or something and be endlessly annoying. They could have at least made him anthropomorphic, like a denizen of the Star Fox universe. Instead, I'm thinking Alvin and the Chipmunks here.
@Blue Highwind In the comics he'a acctually ultra voilent. like wolverine but with less fucks given.
Awesome they're going to put in the talking gun waving Raccoon in it. Though I do hope more members of the Guardians show up in the film. I can understand if these five will be the core members who the film will focus on, but there are more members of the team who are interesting as well.
- Marcomax said...
My only exposure to this group was during an episode of The Avengers cartoon series (The Avengers, Earth's Mightiest Heroes).
As a side note, the show itself was pretty good. It's kinda of like Marvel universe 101 and touches on a lot of different aspects of the marvel world.
Anyway, while it was only one episode, they did seem like a fun bunch of characters. Especially the raccoon. At the very least, they have two years to built up hype.
@ James
;_; I'll miss her too.
- Sam Robards, Comic Fan said...
AMAZING! I never imagined this team would come to the big screen, but now that it is, I'm so freakin' excited I can barely contain myself.
While I will miss Moondragon, Phyla-Vell, Adam Warlock and Mantis, I can understand the need to downsize the roster and keep it manageable.
I'll be very interested to see how they handle vocals for Rocket and Groot: one of the things the Lord of the Rings really messed up was making Treebeard's equivalent to a 90-year old man with emphysema. It killed all the comedic value of his jokes.
Yeah, Groot only has one line of dialogue ("I am Groot!"), but we still need to be able to understand it.
On Rocket, I really hope they don't go high-pitched or squeaky. Throw off the audience's expectations and go deep!
Can't wait for this!
- Sam Robards, Comic Fan said...
*making Treebeard's voice*
I want to edit posts! Bah!
- Lord Slithor said...
If there's a movie that could break Marvel/Disney's winning streak, it would most likely be this one. Why? Simply put, unlike their previous films, it's a hard sell. Whereas most non-geeks had at least a passing familiarity with Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk, Captain America, etc., no one has ever heard of these guys. Many of them are VERY obscure characters. And while I was already familiar with Rocket Raccoon, having read his limited series in the '80s, I had never even heard of those other characters and *I* had to look them up on Wikipedia!
If I'm a geek and I have no idea who the majority of the Guardians are, how confused do you think John and Jane Q. Moviegoer are going to feel? And I don't think the previous tactic of just giving them a passing mention or a cameo appearance like in the pre-Avengers films is going to work here.
And again, while I'm a big fan of Rocket's, I also keep thinking of how well Howard the Duck went over, too.
- Ralphael said...
@Blue Highwind
Imagine "Rango" in the avengers 2.
Also, Learn what anthropomorphize means.
Just because something isn't a furry doesn't mean its not anthropomorphic
P.S. Fuck Furries
Dude......... Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles count as furries... way to fail.
- Ralphael said...
NO. You are wrong. Turtles are exempt from the rule because I said so.
I am really worried Marvel is going way too fast with these movies. While their movies so far have been very successful that still doesn't mean that giving us more of them is a good idea. While it's good they are producing new franchises, they might want to wait and let audiences actually start wanting more superhero movies. Ant-Man can work because he's a superhero. These guys...I don't know what the fuck they are. Talking tree? Cool, but why? I also hope they include the time Ant-Man gave Scarlet Witch and abortion. AVENGERS EARTHS MIGHTIEST AND MOST CONTROVERSIAL HEROES!
- Sam Robards, Comic Fan said...
For people curious how the non-comic fan audience will react to this movie, it really depends on how well the movie it marketed.
Marvel has built up a reputation for making very good superhero movies, and reputation goes a long way to putting a good impression in people's heads.
But how will they get people to understand who these characters are? Simple: MARKETING.
Every movie not based off another property has to sell its concept and characters to the potential audience through advertising, trailers, puff pieces in Entertainment Weekly, etc.
This one will be no different. Besides, I think this will get a lot of press simply because it's so different than anything Marvel's put out to this point.
- Chris Cesarano said...
I am seriously hoping Marvel doesn't run out of steam after Avengers. Or rather, the movie going audience doesn't run out of steam now that The Avengers has hit. I seriously love everything they're doing with this universe, and as movies are more accessible than decades of comics it's a lot nice to try and keep up with.
What is most amazing is how the only character in their roster that was, in any way, familiar to non-comic fans before these films were Captain America and Hulk, and now they're basically building a cinematic universe of gangbuster sellers with a whole bunch of characters folks never knew about. And now they're getting even more obscure.
I love it. I absolutely love it.
- Crafty Andy said...
Rcoket Raccoon. Hell yes! It amazes that finally studios are goign with the more imaginative sides of the comic book genre films and not stripping them of everything that made them interesting like they did with the last Superman film and Green Lantern. You have millions of dollars at your disposal I want to see demons, monsters, kameahmeah waves, and sonic booms god dammit!
- Popcorn Dave said...
This could be huge if marketed right. The success of Avatar and Abrams' Star Trek proves audiences are hungry for a "new Star Wars", and it will be a nice break from the stream of cookie cutter sequels Marvel is currently dangling in front of us.
I agree that Rocket Raccoon will be a hard sell, but in a film full of (presumably) a ton of other CGI things he shouldn't stick out too much.
- Joe said...
@Lord Slithor:
Whereas most non-geeks had at least a passing familiarity with Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk, Captain America,
You must not know many non-geeks if you think more than a handful of them were familiar with any of those guys (with the exception of the Hulk) before their respective movie trailers came out.
- John said...
This could be an awesome movie, just love the super heroes stuff. The effects just blew me away in Avengers, looking forward to what comes next!
I've been a Starlord fan since he first appeared in the 70s. Unfortunately I haven't kept up with comics and only recently realized that he was in GotG. I finally caught up on all the comics to date and was disappointed that in GotG he had lost his Ship, costume, gun and powers. All that was left was a space Punisher. Now, in the new Avengers Assemble comics, the Guardians fly around in his old Ship, he's got his old costume and gun back along with all his old powers. Presumably Avengers Assemble is related to the movies. If that's the case, I'm really looking forward to seeing the old familiar Starlord again!

Maybe it's a … sign.
Get it?? Sign?
Oh forget it…you're drunk!
The Museum Of Marketing Madness
Awful advertising, crazy campaigns and marketing madness … ripped to shreds for your enjoyment
Maybe it's a … sign.
Get it?? Sign?
Oh forget it…you're drunk!
Marketing Madness means: Do Something Different. Even if different isn't different…it's different. Hence: PIPCORN.
Why "Pipcorn?"
Because it's smaller. Sort of. Because how often are you eating popcorn thinking:
"Damn it! I wish this was smaller so I could shove more of this shit in my mouth!!"
You're a chimney sweep so why not use the verb sweep in your copy! Except it reads like…
Don't buy a used car from a used car salesman. Buy it from me: A Used Car Salesman!
And let's not forget Faceless Gold Figure on the Ladder to Heaven … which was at one time the working title to Wim Wenders' movie "Wings of Desire"
With a sign like this it's that simple; your customer knows who you are and what you sell.
None of this "Old Navy," "Banana Republic," "Victoria's Secret" vagueness.

New Delhi: Delhi Metro commuters will now be able to avoid queues to recharge their `Smart Cards` as they can do it at the click of a button.
The first `Add Value Machine` for recharge of Smart Cards, developed by an Indian company as part of technology transfer from Korea`s Samsung SDS, was installed at the Central Secretariat Metro Station on Friday.
The touch screen based machine does not need an operator and accepts bank notes thereby recharging the Smart Card.
After recharge, the machine will generate receipt showing total balance in the card, a DMRC spokesman said, adding that only Rs 100 currency note will be accepted for now.
"This machine will help passengers to get their Smart Cards recharged without standing in a queue at Customer Care Centre. This machine is connected to the existing Fare Collection System of DMRC and can be monitored from the station or Operation Control Centre," the spokesman said.

Kitsune Udon
This is a kind of hot type udon dish.
I have already posted about hot type udon dish, Please check Kake udon.
"Kitsune" means literally "fox", but in this case, it means aburaage.
We simmer aburaage mildly sweet, and put it on kake udon.
It is popular in Osaka.
In Osaka, they call it just "Kitsune".

While budget handsets are available in abundance out there, the #BLU #StudioEnergy2 is perhaps the best of the lot. Why do we say that? Well, it is one of the few sub $200 handsets with a 5,000 mAh battery, well, in the U.S. anyway. This handset is now available for just $129.99 from Amazon, which is an incredible price given the kind of hardware packing underneath.
The discount is only available on the White model of the smartphone, with the Grey variant still priced at $199.99. If the color isn't much of a concern for you, the BLU Studio Energy 2 at $129.99 is an excellent value.
The BLU Studio Energy 2 comes with a 5-inch 720p display, a 1.3 GHz quad-core MediaTek MT6735 chipset, an 8-megapixel camera on the back, a 5-megapixel front camera, 16GB of internal storage (expandable), 1.5GB of RAM, Android 5.0 Lollipop and a 5,000 mAh battery. Make sure you head over to Amazon before the retailer has a change of heart.

At the end of a big day driving we veered off the Stuart highway to a little community called Daley Waters.
A quintessential Northern Territory place!!
This is where Qantas refuelled on international flights in and out of Australia in the 1930's!
The 'famous' pub, renowned for it's Barramundi steaks was like nothing you have ever seen before.
It even boasts its own traffic light.
They are more than happy if you leave your 'bits' here to help decorate the place.
Feel free to stick anything on the bar.
Feel free to leave your number plates.
Feel free to leave your thongs.
Feel free to leave a token of your love for one another.
Feel free to leave your UNDIES.
Because anything goes and everything is alright.
True Northern Territory style!!
Even letting a 6yo have a sleep in the public bar is alright.
Other interesting architecture around these parts:

Overall Information
Getting to and
from Chicago • Arrival
and Check In • Transportation
Means • Event
Illinois Merchandise • Other Services
The following policies and procedures apply
to our transportation service both from
Chicago to the start of RAGBRAI and from
the end of RAGBRAI to Chicago.
to and from Chicago
The main transportation staging point in Chicago
will be directly at our bike shop and is
or biking distance of all local and long
distance public transportation options in Chicago.
Arriving Via Public Transportation
Chicago is one of the nation's major public
transportation hubs and it is extremely easy to travel
to and from via public transportation. In fact, we
strongly recommend avoiding driving entirely to and/or
from the entire event if at all possible.
Chicago is also home to the closest major international
airports to RAGBRAI - O'Hare
(ORD) and Midway (MDW) and we will be able
to easily support participants flying into and/or
out of them. If you will be travelling a long distance
to participate in RAGBRAI flying through O'Hare
or Midway may be a much better alternative than the
Quad Cities, Des Moines, or Omaha.
and Check In
The check in and loading process will consist
of checking in, attaching our identification tags
to your bicycle and baggage, loading your bicycle,
loading your baggage, boarding
our vehicles,
the final
head count. We estimate that it will take an hour
and a half to load all bicycles and baggage. Checking
in before the start of RAGBRAI will not automatically
check you in after the end of RAGBRAI - you will
need to check in both times.
In order to maintain consistent arrival times at
our transportation staging points and mid-route stopping
location every year our actual arrival times at
the start of RAGBRAI and back in Chicago will vary
each year based in the actual towns that are selected
as the start and end of RAGBRAI.
Staying at the Chicago Hotel
Because the Chicago hotel is too far from
the main transportation staging point to quickly,
or safely transport
both your bike and baggage between them yourself
we will have an
additional transportation staging point directly
at the hotel. You
must pre-register
to use our Chicago hotel transportation staging point
otherwise you must use the main transportation
staging point.
Identification Tags
Before they can be loaded, every bicycle
and individual baggage item must have two separate
Bicycle Illinois identification tags
attached. These tags will
be supplied in your registration
materials and will
significantly help identify which
bikes and baggage should be loaded amid
the the throng of other bicycles and baggage that shouldn't,
particularly the end of RAGBRAI.
require two separate
tags in case one comes off in transit and the tags
should be placed as far
apart from each other as possible to minimize
the chance that both would come off at the same time.
If you are initially meeting us
in Chicago, we
require that the tags are attached there
getting lost during RAGBRAI or forgotten in a
piece luggage
at the bottom of
a pile at the end of RAGBRAI.
We will use four different colored
identification tags to quickly and easily identify
and properly
and load bikes and baggage to be delivered to the
different drop off locations at the start
of RAGBRAI and in Chicago after the end
of RAGBRAI:
Drop Off Location in
the End of RAGBRAI
It will be your responsibility to make
sure that your bike and every piece of your baggage
items has the appropriate
two required baggage delivery tags on it. If a tag
off in transit or during the week of RAGBRAI simply
let a staff member know and we will give you a new
won't need to wear a Bicycle Illinois
identification tag on their wrist which will increase
your comfort while riding. Instead you can just tell us
if you belong with us and we will also
you during our final head count before
People Transportation
Participants will travel aboard either a charter
coach bus or one of our support vehicles. We will
not be using any long distance public transportation
carriers (Amtrak, Greyhound, MegaBus, etc.) to transport
people and you will not need to purchase any separate
bus or train ticket on your own.
Bicycle Transportation
Baggage Transportation
Not including carry on items, the size of each
participant's baggage must be limited to 5 square
feet so all baggage
can fit in the baggage compartments underneath the
coach bus. Based on extensive experience we
fully expect this space to be fully adequate and there
will also be additional space inside the bus itself
to store any carry on items. For reference,
the dimensions of a big green army style duffle bag
is about 1' x 1' x 3' (3 sq. feet). In the very unlikely
event we run into a problem with insufficient baggage
capacity in the coach busses themselves, we also can
put any extra baggage (which will be minimal)
in the bike truck itself or in any open space inside
the coach bus, particularly if there are any open seats.
If you are planning on using RAGBRAI's
free semitruck to transport your baggage between
stopping towns during the event, Click
Here for more information about their
baggage transportation policies.
If you are planning on using Bubba's Pampered Pedalers
charter service during the week to transport your
baggage between
towns, you
will be allowed two pieces of baggage not
exceed 30 pounds each.
If you are planning on using another charter service
during the week to transport your baggage between
stopping towns you should make
sure your baggage
is in compliance with the baggage policies of that
charter service.
Cell phone reception during RAGBRAI can be unreliable because the cell phone
towers serving the towns RAGBRAI passes through can be overwhelmed, particularly
the overnight towns. If you need to contact us, it is best to plan on making
calls during the day when you are on the road. Also, a text message is much
more likely to go through than a phone call.
Illinois Merchandise
In order to remember your journey and share your experience with others, a
Bicycle Illinois t-shirt is included in registration.
Bicycle Illinois jerseys, water bottles, polo shirts,
baseball hats and extra t-shirts can all be ordered
before the event.
Other Services
Other than the route in the RAGBRAI ending
town we will not provide any services such as SAG
vehicle support, mechanical or medical services,
or in town transportation.

We have a great pleasure to inform you that we started solo exhibitions at deArte Gallery. First artist to present her stunning fractal compositions is Suzanne Chouinard. Read what the artist herself says about her new works.
Doing fractal art is my way of working with abstract forms. Yes the road to learn that craft has been difficult because I had to struggle to find all the informations necessary to study it. They are not easy to find as there are no books made for teaching how to do this kind of art. All the information available is scattered in bits and pieces on internet and it take hours of work to collect them and learn them. But the shapes and lights it creates are enchanting and always a source of wonder to me when I see them taking life. The greatest part of the work is done by the software I use. I could not imagine them alone.
Now my next goal is to try to reproduce them in painting. That would be a great achievement for me if I achieved this. But there are so many things I try in art that I did not managed yet to work on them. There are not enough hours in a day to do all I would like to do in art.
Suzanne Chouinard
Below you may see some of the works presented in our gallery. To enjoy a full collection, visit our website. We will be grateful to hear your opinion on Suzanne's new works.

Sin has consequences. Yet Chesterton always maintains that we must condemn the sin and not the sinner.
That is another reason we must treat our homosexual brothers and sisters with compassion. We know our own sins and weaknesses well enough. Philo of Alexandria said, "Be kind. Everyone you meet is fighting a terrible battle." But compassion must never compromise with evil. Chesterton points out that balance that our truth must not be pitiless, but neither can our pity be untruthful. Homosexuality is a disorder. It is contrary to order. Homosexual acts are sinful, that is, they are contrary to God's order. They can never be normal. And worse yet, they can never even be even. As Chesterton's great detective Father Brown says: "Men may keep a sort of level of good, but no man has ever been able to keep on one level of evil. That road goes down and down."
But it was heterosexual men and women who paved the way to this decay. Divorce, which is an abnormal thing, is now treated as normal. Contraception, another abnormal thing, is now treated as normal. Abortion is still not normal, but it is legal. Making homosexual "marriage" legal will not make it normal, but it will add to the confusion of the times. And it will add to the downward spiral of our civilization. But Chesterton's prophecy remains: We will not be able to destroy the family. We will merely destroy ourselves by disregarding the family.
G. K. Chesterton: It's Not Gay, and It's Not Marriage:

How about a National Neighbour Day?
HELLO MI neighbour with Maas Gusse
HELLO MI neighbour! The dictionary defines neighbourliness as "the disposition to be friendly and helpful to neighbours". Can you imagine the social benefits of a Jamaican National Neighbour Day - a day when Jamaicans engage in deliberate acts of neighbourliness? Many countries around the world have already established a National Neighbour Day and are reaping rich rewards. More on this next time.
After nine years of highlighting the personal problems of some Jamaicans and watching others help to resolve them, I am convinced that many among us have been endowed with a great capacity for generosity. As we speak, Mrs Metz from St Andrew has just called to offer two beds to needy neighbours.
It's been nine years since Hello Neighbour started being aired on LOVE I01 FM and five years since The Gleaner published the first article. During this time, thousands of Jamaicans have received help from their neighbours at the personal level.
This Hello Neighbour initiative started with a mandate to recapture and strengthen the spirit of neighbourliness among Jamaicans. It posits the belief that all Jamaicans can and should contribute to the enrichment of all. The constant reminder (through this column) of the divine imperative to 'love thy neighbour as thyself' coupled with opportunities to help has redounded to the resolution of many personal problems. As a result, many positive relationships have been formed among Jamaicans, and many of them are much happier.
In this process, my simple task is to receive (via letters, etc.) the needs of needy neighbours and share them with other neighbours through the media - radio and newsprint - and watch the machinery work. It's like clockwork. Over the past few weeks for example:
1. Beryl, St Catherine, gave a refrigerator to Michelle.
2. Sophia offered blocks to a neighbour who is trying to build a little house.
3. Sean offered a stove to a St Andrew fire victim.
4. Tamara, Manchester, offered cement to a heart and kidney patient who is trying to complete a little house.
5. Claudia, St Catherine, assisted Richard with cash needed to pay for police record in order to get a job.
6. A neighbour offered to pay loan processing fee for a student.
I ask again: How about a National Neighbour Day? My recommendation is November 16, as that was the date on which Hello Neighbour was first aired on LOVE 101 FM nine years ago. On that proposed National Neighbour Day, a bag of groceries could be delivered to the single mother whose five children often go to bed hungry. The community could trump up and fix the senior citizen's roof which has been leaking for some time. Neighbours who have not been on speaking terms could forgive each other and start building healthier relationships in the communities, etc.
And to answer the question as to what happens throughout the rest of the year: Community members will continue to work at those problems that were highlighted on the Neighbour Day. Let's continue the dialogue on a proposed National Neighbour Day until one is established in Jamaica.
Before you go, please respond to list below.
Much peace.
Thanks for helping
Judith, St Andrew, for offering a stove and refrigerator to Euphema, St Catherine.
Neighbour, for offering a laptop to needy student.
Neighbour, for offering clothing for eight-year-old girl.
Neighbour, for offering female clothing for a needy neighbour.
Neighbour, for offering clothing to neighbour.
Opportunities to help:
Ms Ivy, Kingston, asking for a table and a stove - senior citizen.
Neighbour, graduated from high school - results are withheld due to non-payment of school fees - asking for help.
Tricia, Clarendon, mother of three asking for a bed.
Neighbour, single, unemployed mother with daughter who has a degenerative disease is asking for financial assistance to pay tuition fees in order to get her report.
Neighbour, father of four cannot find a job. Asking for brown sugar, ginger, grease paper to make Busta in order to earn an income.
To help, please call Silton Townsend at 334-8165, 884-3866, 299-3412 or deposit to acct # 351 044 276 NCB. (Bank routing #: JNCBJMKX) or send donations to Hello Neighbour, c/o 53 Half Way Tree Road, Kingston 10; e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Book Review - Time Without
Time Without
By: Veronica R. Tabares
Publisher: Sun Break Publishing
Publication Date: July 2017
Reviewed by: Amy Lignor
For those lucky enough to have read Veronica Tabares' last title, Gray Zone, about a cyber-prank gone wrong, you'll absolutely LOVE Time Without.
Vanessa is a woman who just happens to have the ability to travel through time. Once, she even traveled through time and the scientists in the future wanted to keep her there in order to protect the time line. But when they found out she was to be the mother of the eventual creators of time travel, they had no choice but to send her back to the 21st-century. Giving an oath, Vanessa swore to keep quiet about what she'd seen.
Thus far, this morning, Vanessa has been "lost in a dream" about a castle made of cake with towers of white icing. She had been arguing with the stingy owner about which parts she could eat when the ringing of her telephone pulls her from the scrumptious dream. When she answers this annoying ring, she finds a doctor on the other end telling her that her husband, Tony, has been in an accident.
In 3027, a loving couple by the name of Philip and Annabel Jensen are living their own lives. Philip loves his wife but right now is really angry that he has been turned down for the job position of Chief Scientist of the DTA lab (Department of Temporal Adjustment),
Once again we are with Vanessa in her delightful dream. The phone rings in her 21st-century house and a very odd doctor who will only talk to the "man of the house" because those are the "rules," needs to tell someone that her husband, Tony, has been in an accident. Seems that a small 'tweak' made by a loving wife in 3027 has completely altered Vanessa's life. She must suddenly embark on a journey to change things back to what they're supposed to be. Because if she and her children fail, it's very possible the eventual creators of time travel will end up working at KFC instead.
Quill says: This author continues to write stories that are fun, uplifting and highly, highly intelligent. You'll have a ball with this one!

Paul Gascoigne has said he is back to his best after suffering a "two-day blip" in his ongoing struggle with alcoholism.
The former England footballer, who has had a drink problem for more than 20 years, told ITV's Good Morning Britain today that he is doing "all right" and has been clean for 11 months.
I'm not like George Best ... I do want to stop.Paul Gascoigne
In March, Gascoigne was photographed clutching a bottle of gin and being escorted by a police officer in his home town of Poole, Dorset.
Later, more photographs emerged of the ex-Tottenham player, showing cuts and bruising to his nose, lip and forehead.
Speaking openly to show presenters Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid, Gascoigne was smartly dressed, with Morgan telling him: "You look good, mate."
Shrugging off his recent relapse as nothing more than a "blip", the 48-year-old said he had been sober for months and was "back to my best".
However, he admitted that he only realised the seriousness of his recent relapse after seeing stories in the newspapers.
"I said to someone I'm glad the papers didn't get hold of it," he said.
"But then I saw it ... I didn't realise how bad I was. You know, I have to look back and think where did it all start?"
During the interview Gascoigne said he had only been in rehab three times for "the drink", but added: "Where I live ... a lot of people who have this addiction are allowed to get on with it.
"When I have an obsession to drink, it gets too much for us, you know."
Gascoigne talked in depth about his treatment at the Providence Projects, an alcohol treatment centre in Bournemouth, where he said he received "fantastic" support and counselling.
"Sometimes I go in to help myself, but also to help someone else," he said. "Whether it's to give someone a fiver, a packet of cigarettes, you know."
Asked by Morgan if he felt it was right for people to compare him to George Best, Gascoigne said "He's dead ... it's not true.
"I'm not like George Best ... I do want to stop."
During the interview, Doctor Hilary Jones told Gascoigne that his behaviour was typical of someone suffering from adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
"I've met Paul over the years, he knows he's an alcoholic, he's always known he's an alcoholic," he said.
"The problems of OCD, substance abuse, problems other than alcohol... adult ADHD fits your description really well.
"It's not an excuse, it's an explanation."

My Review:
About The Book:
Publisher: Harper Collins
Source: Part of John Green Collectors Edition set from Kmart
Reviewed: Sapphired Dragon
Rating: *****
My Review:
Looking For Alaska was my first foray into the writing of John Green and what a successful foray it was. With his other books, The Fault in our Stars and Paper Towns being made into movies, it is all about John Green at the moment but it was his debut novel "Looking for Alaska", whose blurb called to me, that be the first one I would read.
In short I loved it.
Being in boarding school and really high school in general can feel like one's own little world where nothing really exists or matters outside of it. That is the kind of spell that Green casts with this book. He created this little world and what mattered happened inside it not out. It literally cast a spell on me whilst I read it where all that mattered were the characters and the story until I reached the end and then I felt bereft I had to leave.
I like the way the story is structured into before and after as I spent the whole first half of the story wondering "before what?" and then after... well let's just say this structure makes perfect sense with the story.
I loved the feelings and emotions this book evoked from me. I truly felt connected to the book and the characters as I read it and Green's writing style combined with the story itself just seemed like perfection.
I think what I loved most about this book though were the characters. The characters in this story are so real and vivid and I could clearly see them in my minds eye as I read this novel. They had a kind of...I want to say quirkiness but that doesn't really adequately describe them - more like a uniqueness to them that made them really jump of the page and capture my attention and emotions.
Lastly, as superficial as this might sound, I love this cover and I love this particular edition and collection. I love the feel of the hard cover and the prettiness of it. It just added to my reading experience.
If you want a book that will capture your heart and make you feel and laugh and cry, then this is the one.
Trust me, I will be reading a lot more John Green in the future.
I give this book 5 stars

About The Book:
Looking For Alaska by John Green
Before. Miles "Pudge" Halter's whole existence has been one big nonevent, and his obsession with famous last words has only made him crave the "Great Perhaps" (François Rabelais, poet) even more. Then he heads off to the sometimes crazy, possibly unstable, and anything-but-boring world of Culver Creek Boarding School, and his life becomes the opposite of safe. Because down the hall is Alaska Young. The gorgeous, clever, funny, sexy, self-destructive, screwed-up, and utterly fascinating Alaska Young, who is an event unto herself. She pulls Pudge into her world, launches him into the Great Perhaps, and steals his heart.
After. Nothing is ever the same.

Toddler fighting for his life after road accident
20/01/2014 - 17:38:26Back to Heathrow Ireland Home
A toddler is fighting for life following a road accident near Ballaghaderreen in Co. Roscommon today.
He was one of three children being driven in a car by their mother when the vehicle and a taxi-van were in collision on the N5 near Ballaghaderreen at around 9am this morning.
The crash happened where the main road meets a new bypass, which is still under construction.
The woman and the taxi driver were also injured in the crash, as were the two other children, who were all brought to Mayo General Hospital.
However, the infant was so seriously hurt that the air ambulance was called to transfer him to hospital in Galway.
He has since been transferred to Temple St. Children's Hospital in Dublin, suffering from serious head injuries.
Separately, an investigation is underway in Thurles after a woman was killed when she was hit by a truck on Slievenamon Road at around midday.
The body of the woman, aged in her 50s, has now been removed to the Mid Western Regional Hospital in Limerick where a post mortem will be carried out.
The road remains closed.

In today's fast-paced, instant-gratification society, it's very easy to get caught up in the shallowest, most base aspects of any industry. This is especially true of Hollywood, which is very well known for being the shallow of the shallowest.
But what do we mean by shallow? We mean the most base measurements of success. Nowadays, those are Rotten Tomatoes scores and the box office. Rotten Tomatoes tends to have a big impact on what audiences think of a film, and quite frequently dictates what becomes successful and what flops at the box office. And studios, of course, are dictated by the almighty dollar. Audiences speak with their wallets, giving the studios ideas of what they want to see more of, and the cycle continues.
It's honestly not a bad system. With as much content as we all have to consume, it helps to have these things in place to help us decide. But that's not to say there aren't downsides. Case-in-point, films like mother! and Blade Runner 2049 that don't click with audiences. We say we want unique things, but when they come, we don't give them the time of day.
Renowned director Martin Scorsese also delved into these problems in a THR guest post, and he made some good points.
"There is another change that, I believe, has no upside whatsoever. It began back in the '80s when the "box office" started to mushroom into the obsession it is today. When I was young, box office reports were confined to industry journals like The Hollywood Reporter. Now, I'm afraid that they've become…everything. Box office is the undercurrent in almost all discussions of cinema, and frequently it's more than just an undercurrent. The brutal judgmentalism that has made opening-weekend grosses into a bloodthirsty spectator sport seems to have encouraged an even more brutal approach to film reviewing. I'm talking about market research firms like Cinemascore, which started in the late '70s, and online "aggregators" like Rotten Tomatoes, which have absolutely nothing to do with real film criticism. They rate a picture the way you'd rate a horse at the racetrack, a restaurant in a Zagat's guide, or a household appliance in Consumer Reports. They have everything to do with the movie business and absolutely nothing to do with either the creation or the intelligent viewing of film. The filmmaker is reduced to a content manufacturer and the viewer to an unadventurous consumer."
While he makes some solid points in all this, the problem is that as a viewer, sites like Rotten Tomatoes are helpful in today's content-laden world. We never want to waste our time watching something that'll only bore us. Similarly, the box office is a way to help studios direct their efforts. If they know what audiences want, they can help cater their content.
Does this lead to potentially braindead content? Absolutely. This is a double-edged sword situation, though for every big, boring blockbuster, we're still likely to find all kinds of creative content either on VOD or on streaming services like Netflix.
What do you think of Scorsese's thoughts? Do you agree? Let us know down below!

"Well, Dad," I challenged him, amused that it was the physics he found the cat geometry in question, not the decision making process involved with crossing the street or the fact that a cat would teach a kitten such sophisticated concepts, "that's a good problem for you to work out."
" I can't," he said, quite honestly. "I don't know how tall a cat is."
I found this very funny since this was a man who asked me at the dinner table how much energy was contained in the bags of leaves we had raked one autumn day. It became apparent that he expected me to make some gross assumptions like estimating leaves as a few carbon atoms that were then oxidized. The answer, he explained, was within an order of magnitude, which apparently was good enough.
"Try a foot tall for the cat," I told him, and he ran off.
In about 15 minutes, he came back with a smile, "It can see down the block, and the curvature of the earth won't come into play."
Since people lived for centuries believing the earth was flat, I was pretty sure a cat didn't see the curvature of the earth either, but I graciously replied, "Good to know." Dad really was a scientist... a doubter until he could prove it true to his satisfaction.
Challenging authority is the cornerstone to a good scientist. Good scientists don't swallow what they are told if it conflicts with their observations, experience, or logic. But they don't stick to their original thoughts out of stubborn ignorance. Instead, they go about verifying (or dispelling) it with proofs, experiments, and prototypes. The essay, Get thee to a physics class, waxes eloquently about this, and it's important to remember this aspect when teaching STEM.
Too many times, teachers feel that they have to have "perfect" science, engineering, mathematics lessons so that students will observe exactly what they should and make the proper (test-standard) conclusions. But sadly, science, engineering, and mathematical discovery are messy. New standards are emphasizing process more, and with good reason, because STEM knowledge is a living, breathing body, adapted when we observe, discover, or learn new things.
When I was asked to write about laser safety by Laser Classroom (Bringing STEM to Light), I followed all the best practices for STEM curriculum: No assumptions are made about the previous laser experience or knowledge. Rather than a list of regulations (to memorize), activities were used to develop "common sense" around the regulations. Then I rubbed the Engineer's Playground "secret sauce" on it: I added a "Where's the STEM?" section to show where the activities connected to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics; a "Historical Interludes" section which told the story behind a key idea in the activity (I'm particularly proud of the logarithms one); and a "Challenge Authority" section where students were invited to say, "Hey, I don't think that's right" to the activity procedures and conclusions. The latter, especially for a teen audience, I felt was critical.
So next time your doubting Thomas (or Thomasina) speaks up, don't get defensive, arm him or her with STEM to challenge authority.
~Until next time, Yvonne

Discussion in 'Basses [BG]' started by Birkoff, Aug 27, 2001.
Can anyone tell me if silvertones (like the LB-11) and such are good beginner bass?
I was curious about this myself. Is it the same Silvertone as in the '50's?
I dont know honestly.
They're not. I had 2 Silvertone amps in the 60's and the first and only guitar I ever had was a Silvertone I got for Christmas, (my uncle's discount as a Sears employee). Just as they had before WW II, Sears farmed out the work to various companies, (some different ones were used after the war). Danelectro, Harmony, Kay, and other companies made them with the "Silvertone" decal slapped on them. So, a Silvertone could be a total hunk of junk, like mine, because it was made by some low-rent company, or it could be decent if it was made by a company like Danelectro, (you could see two guitars that were obviously the same guitar except for the brand names on the headstocks).
Silvertones are made by Samick now, a company in the Orient which makes more guitars and basses under several cheap brand names than anyone else in the world. If you are just toying with the idea of playing bass, they might be an okay instrument while you decide whether to stick with it. The investment isn't that significant.
If you are madly in love with the bass, avoid Silvertone, (Samick). You could do a lot better with a used instrument made by a quality company. If you can find a new/used MIM, (made in Mexico) Fender Precision, Jazz or one of their Squier models, you'll get a much more satisfying beginning on the bass than with Silvertone, IMO.
Whatever you do, try the instrument before you buy it or at least have the ability to return it, just in case. One may not play as well as another of the same model.

Series: Between the Lines #1
Author: Jodi Picoult & Samantha Van Leer
Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy, Romance
Publisher: Simon Pulse
Publication Date: June 26, 2012
Source: Gifted. Thank you!
Delilah is a bit of a loner who prefers spending her time in the school library with her head in a book—one book in particular. Between the Lines may be a fairy tale, but it feels real. Prince Oliver is brave, adventurous, and loving. He really speaks to Delilah.
And then one day Oliver actually speaks to her. Turns out, Oliver is more than a one-dimensional storybook prince. He's a restless teen who feels trapped by his literary existence and hates that his entire life is predetermined. He's sure there's more for him out there in the real world, and Delilah might just be his key to freedom.
A romantic and charming story, this companion novel to Off the Page will make every reader believe in the fantastical power of fairy tales.
Find Between the Lines online
You guys, it took me years to read this book. Well, not actually but it felt like it. I've been reading this book since the beginning of the year, at the very least. I don't know why it took me so long to finish it honestly. I mean, it wasn't a bad book. Not my favorite but I still loved the concept and the overall feel of the book. But this was just sort of . . . meh for me.
I really wanted to love this book. The concept is ever book lovers dream. A beloved character turns out to be real and you help them to escape the book to live with you? Uh, yes, please, sign me up for that. However, I found the story came off kind of flat for me. Maybe it was the plot or the characters, but I found I couldn't sink into the story and world like I wanted to.
Delilah was an okay character but I found her lacking at times. She didn't feel fully developed. I really can't tell you much about her except that she loves reading and is a loner. And if that doesn't describe 70% of all YA heroines, well . . .
Oliver was similar, unfortunately. Though he had a bit more depth, I found myself annoyed with his insta-love with Delilah. Like, I get it's a great and unusual situation but I just wish there had been more development in their relationship. It seemed like they talked one time and then Oliver was professing his love and talking about all these characteristics of Delilah he adored that we never really experienced as a reader.
Like their relationship, the ending also felt rushed. Everything wrapped up in about two pages. It was kind of frustrating and not very satisfying, especially since I'd taken a while to read the book. I was hoping for something more concrete. I would have loved an extra ten or so pages to kind of see how everything resolved. Of course, there's a second book (which I own and plan to read) but still.
Between the Lines was a book with a lot of promise but one that ultimately fell flat for me. There were so many amazing sounding elements to it but I couldn't sink into the story like I wanted to. That's not to say that there weren't some enjoyable parts. I do plan to read the second book but I think I'll take a break before diving into it.

Geological fieldtrip II
Did I mention the hardcore surfers, in the winter cold?
Apparently Castle Point was named by Captain Cook.
Then we stopped for coffee! Everywhere you go, even the gas stations, you can get an excellent coffee of any sort. These people have priorities. Speaking of which, we then went to a vineyard, tasted wine and looked at vines.
Monday was a bit dramatic for me multitasking: attempting to listen talks while unexpected having to schedule experiments with scientists at sea and ashore in BC via Skype, and twitter. No, really. Followed an impromptu tour of a science vessel, a public lecture, and a late Malaysian dinner. The KS & friends attempted to convince me I needed to then go for cocktails at 10:30 pm, but I went back to my hotel to review my presentation. Today, I have my own talk.
Oh, it's 7:09 am. Soon I'll have to go wake up the boys. (I apologized once for calling grad students pushing 30 'boys', but they find it funny and vaguely endearing, so I persist. We always referred to my brothers that way, so it's a habit).

The Livestock Marketing Association has told the U.S. Department of Agriculture that the agency's proposed new rule on transporting horses sets up "an unauthorized administrative and enforcement nightmare for the equine industry and livestock markets." The rule would expand the current ban on using double-decker trucks to transport horses to slaughter, to banning their use to transport horses to intermediate points, such as a stockyard, feedlot or assembly point, before arriving at a slaughter plant.
USDA has no clear-cut authority to regulate equine "that are not going directly to slaughter," and thus is erroneously trying to expand the scope of current regulations, LMA said in comments dated Jan. 7. As the agency well knows, horses sold at auction markets "are sold for a number of different purposes(and) any attempt to manage or limit the trucking of horses to and from auction markets or other intermediate delivery points, in anticipation (of) but without full realization of what use they will eventually be put to, either before or after the sale, is without merit and goes beyond the scope of the law," LMA wrote.
Almost as troubling as the unwarranted expansion of current regulations is USDA's admission they have little or no "hard numbers" on the degree to which double-decker trucks are currently being used to move slaughter horses to intermediate assembly points, LMA wrote.

The classes that opposed Roosevelt were spent forces by 1965. The leaders of the new capitalism supported Johnson. Goldwater's cry for limited government seemed as antediluvian to the leaders of the corporations as Diefenbaker's nationalism seemed to the same elements in Canada. Johnson was supported not only by such obvious groups as Negroes and labour but also by the new managerial bourgeoisie of the suburbs. The farmers, who were supposed to be the last bastion of individualism, were not slow in voting for the continuation of subsidies. Four of Goldwater's five states were in the South. This was the last ditch stand of a local culture. But it is doomed to disappear as much as an indigenous French Canada.

George Grant on Sixties Southern Resistance: "Last Ditch Stand of a Local Culture"

"President Kennedy announced Monday that the United States, the Soviet Union and Britain have agreed to send high-level negotiators to Moscow next month in a fresh start at hammering out a nuclear test-ban treaty. In the meantime, the President announced, the United States will not conduct any nuclear tests in the atmosphere -- so long as the Soviet Union and other nations hold back on their tests, too. ... The President chose an unusual setting for his announcements, and he embellished them with an eloquent plea for world peace. Standing under the broiling sun in an outdoor amphitheater, Kennedy put the significant announcements into a commencement address to American University's graduating class."

"The United States will seek to increase communications with Russia, to avoid unnecessary irritants, to search for areas of agreement and to avoid pushing to Kremlin into a choice between 'humiliating retreat or a nuclear war.' This fundamental philosophy of how to deal with Russians in a nuclear age, stated Monday by President Kennedy in a major speech, is expected by diplomats to be more prominently recorded in history than his announcements on nuclear testing."

Let the "flowers do the talking " is the goal when Michelle and I participate in any event. When the Exquisite Weddings Magazine email came for their Fall launch party, we were excited for the opportunity to show who we are. With the theme being"Glamour through the Ages".
Our vision was to have a family room, mantel, couch, coffee table the whole shebang! When it comes to having our ideas come to life, it typically involves me with a hammer and nails. I've become quite the carpenter and tackling a living room set up was on the top of the to-do list. Thankfully the men in my life, my husband and dad know its coming and lend me a helping hand. Not so much willing but that's another story. 🙂
As party favors for the brides to be, Michelle hand crafted these glitzy boutonnieres.
These cuties also came with a %15 OFF Coupon!! Did you get one??
After a couple of bumps in the road, or should I say thick carpet, we finally got the mantel level and flower frame up! A huge shout out to our new friends: Half Full Photography for saving our life, thank you for the shims!
The fabulous furniture was provided by, Concepts Event Design. They were so helpful and every piece was gorgeous. We cant wait to collaborate soon.
Garden roses, hydrangea, kale, hanging amaranthus and gold curly willow made up our table centerpiece. Accented with an over flowing amount of pearls, this beauty grabbed your attention!
Another fun feature was a bridal bouquet. Brides were able to hold and pose for pictures with it….and yes….they are heavy!
The frame is filled with china mums, roses, dahlias, lisianthus, kale and gold Curly willow:
Thank you Exquisite Weddings for a great time and to everyone who helped us put this collection together!

How did Deadwood Dick get his name? Readers can learn this, and a whole lot more, in this picaresque Western from a master of the form (The Thicket, 2013, etc.).
Willie Jackson's origins didn't prophesy a future any brighter than that of most black Americans born in East Texas so soon after the War Between the States that he can still remember his years as an infant slave. What seals his fate, however, is looking the wrong way at the rear end of Sam Ruggert's hatchet-faced third wife. Ruggert, not one to take this slur on his manhood lying down, organizes a lynching party. Although Willie escapes, his father doesn't, nor does the family farm. Taking to his heels, Willie lucks into kind neighbor Tate Loving, who shelters him for several years. But when he's recognized one day by a chance visitor, his real adventures begin. In short order he lights out again, changes his name to Nat Love, enlists in the U.S. Cavalry, deserts his post, crosses paths with four Chinese women, loses his heart to a ratter named Win Finn, lands in Deadwood, where he's befriended by James Butler Hickok—Wild Bill to you—and wins the shooting competition that earns him his enduring sobriquet. Soon thereafter, Ruggert and two hirelings catch up with Ruggert's long-sought quarry and exact a terrible vengeance. The tables now turned, Willie, or Nat, or Dick, plots his own revenge on the man who stole his happiness.
Noting that he's starred in many a dime novel penned by his old friend Bronco Bob Brennen, the narrator maintains in closing: "Here is the straight record." That assurance is a lot harder to swallow than the rest of this tall tale, which goes down smooth and easy as a vintage sarsaparilla.
