Alice Forkes, NMS Conservator, reports…..
'Baby Houses' are miniature buildings which were commissioned by wealthy adults in the 1700s and early 1800s to entertain and amuse. They are substantial objects, beautifully constructed, with their realistic architectural details and sumptuous interiors based on fashionable building styles of the day.
Baby houses are quite rare, so Strangers' Hall Museum is fortunate to have one in its collections, known as the Norwich Baby House, believed to date from around 1720. Knowing that the V&A Museum of Childhood's exhibition Small Stories – at Home in a Dolls' House was booked to tour to Norwich Castle in Spring 2017 provided the impetus to get our own house in order and plan to make the most of the Strangers' Hall own collections. In view of its early date and important, the Baby House was the front-runner for conservation work and more sympathetic display. So the house and its contents, which are mostly nineteenth century additions, were brought to the Norfolk Museums Service conservation department for the work to take place in preparation for the Small Stories at Strangers' exhibition, which runs concurrently with the main show.
The house had suffered some wear and tear over the years. The painted wallpaper had lifted away in some places and the inside of the house was particularly dirty, obscuring the vibrant wallpaper and limiting the view through the glass windows to the front of the house. After detailed assessment and documentation, the house underwent conservation cleaning. Cleaning an object such as this requires a great deal of consideration and often a variety of techniques. For example, the dirty windows were wet cleaned using cotton wool swabs, the walls, ceilings and floors were all cleaned using a museum vacuum cleaner and soft brushes, and the painted and patterned wallpaper was gently cleaned using a natural rubber sponge. Small repairs were undertaken, to secure the lifting wallpaper. These were all documented and carried out using reversible conservation grade adhesives.
Other than the addition of fluorescent lights in the 60's, it appeared that the house had been virtually untouched since coming into the collection in the early 1950's. The curator at Strangers' Hall had asked me to play detective and pay particular attention to the variety of surfaces and features that would only be visible under close inspection. How was the house constructed? How many layers of wallpaper and paint were visible? What was underneath the wallpaper, which was most certainly a more recent addition? And so the investigation began.
Intriguingly, in areas where the wallpaper had lifted, around the edges and corners of the rooms, a blue painted surface and a white painted skirting board could be seen, there was also evidence of a painted picture rail. In the kitchen, the walls, floor and ceiling appeared to have been white-washed at some point. Faded black lines, painted to mimic large floor tiles were also visible. When propping up the dresser in the corner of the kitchen, an earlier creamy beige surface with the same style of painted black lines could be seen. Such a large object, constructed from multiple materials, requires careful observation of every nook and cranny to uncover the story of how it was constructed, what changes had been made and how fashions in interior design affected its appearance.
The contents of the house were also in need of conservation treatment. These included a complete Staffordshire ceramic dinner set, tiny watercolour pictures, a long case clock, a glass chandelier and even a pet spaniel. The only doll we know to be an original occupant of the Baby House, is the smartly-dressed butler. The painted surface on his papier mache head needed particular attention as it was damaged, vulnerable, flaking and at risk of further losses. Each individual flake of paint was carefully softened using controlled humidification so that it could be adhered back in place. This allowed the painted surface of the butler to be safely cleaned using tiny cotton wool swabs. After careful cleaning and numerous repairs, all the Baby houses' furniture could be reinstated and reunited with some larger textile pieces, including the bed with its bolster cushion, blue velvet chaise and the early animal print wing chair that the Butler now resides in.
The conservation process did not end after treatment in the conservation lab. The installation of the Baby House in the Strangers' Hall Toy Room and the addition of new LED lighting required conservation supervision and input. Both the lighting and new audio interpretative stories now really bring the house to life. Minute paint samples were also collected during the conservation process, which will help us to identify the numerous paint layers. These will be sent for analysis, which will hopefully enable us to discern the stratigraphy of the paint layers, and even which pigments were used.
It has been a privilege to work on a house with such a long history. I often found myself thinking about all the different people who have enjoyed and admired it over the years.

We're very excited to announce a two-season charity partnership with iconic Championship club Fulham FC.
Hot on the heels of our successful 2013/14 season sponsoring Millwall, and in tandem with our long-term partnership with The Football League, we're now teaming up with the oldest professional club in London.
As part of the partnership, Fulham Football Club (FFC) and the Fulham Football Club Foundation (FFCF) will join Men United and stand side by side with us to confront prostate cancer.
The club kicked-off the partnership with a pre-match photo opportunity before their clash against Watford last Friday, involving our Director of Fundraising Mark Bishop and Fulham representatives.
Through events planned across the 2014/15 and 2015/16 campaigns, Fulham FC will engage with its supporters to help raise awareness and funds. Some of the fundraising activities, such as the Craven Cottage 10K run on February 8, will help support the Fulham FC Foundation in their aim to build better lives through sport. In last year's event more than 100 runners pounded along the banks of the River Thames and over iconic bridges. This season money raised from the run will be split between Prostate Cancer UK and FFCF.
Fulham supporters will also be encouraged to complete a survey about their knowledge of prostate cancer between now and the end of the 2015/16 campaign, in a bid to build a complete picture of how clued up fans are about the disease.
The club will also continue its affiliation with local children's hospice charity Shooting Star Chase as their regional partner.
Mark Bishop, Director of Fundraising for Prostate Cancer UK, said: "This is a wonderful opportunity to continue our groundbreaking work within the beautiful game standing side by side with one of the country's most iconic clubs. It's been proven by taking this issue to terraces up and down the land that we are starting to make a difference.
"The power of sport – and in this case football – has helped us reach out to men and their friends and families, and by wearing our Man of Men logo on their numbers this season, Fulham's players have already started to play their part.
"With an exciting programme of activities set for the next two seasons, we want to have a lasting impact on and off the pitch and supporting the 250,000 men living with prostate cancer in the UK."
More details on the Craven Cottage 10k will be announced later this month and a number of further fundraising activities will be announced during the season.These will include a Men United match day at a first team fixture at Craven Cottage in Spring with proceeds going to Prostate Cancer UK, while Fulham and their Football League counterparts will saddle up for the London to Amsterdam Cycle Challenge in June.

Everything has been statistics related in both 6th and 8th grade math over the past few weeks! Of course, we better start with some corny statistics humor first (answer at the bottom of this post). I thought of this one myself, so I will apologize for the terrible joke now. On a side note, I recently began sending out a weekly newsletter every Sunday morning. Each newsletter includes classroom tips, a freebie, and math humor. If you are interested, you can sign up at the link below! Please share with any other teachers you know that might be interested!
Alright, onto the good stuff! Here are a few easy prep, yet effective, ideas to help teach statistics in the middle school math classroom.
1. Data Displays Foldable Notes
This is one of those ideas that came to me in the middle of the night on one of those nights you just can't sleep because your mind is going a million different directions (if you're a teacher, you've surely been there before...). I have used foldable notes before with other concepts. For whatever reason, my students are way more likely to copy down notes if you fold them first. Weird, I know. We had been learning about various data displays. In 6th grade, we had covered finding the measures of central tendency, box-and-whisker plots, frequency tables, and stem-and-leaf plots. We also later added histograms to this foldable. In the activity, students each got two dice. They rolled the dice and multiplied the two numbers to get each number in their data set. I set a minimum of twelve rolls, so that they would have at least twelve pieces of data. After getting their set of numbers, they had to find or create each the measures/displays pictured. This was a fun, hands-on way to review and I also allowed students to use these notes on their mid-chapter quiz.
2. Mean, Median, Mode, and Range Math Sort
These sorts are one of the more engaging resources that I have created. I usually use these as a math workshop center, but I have also had students work on them individually or in small groups. For each set, students must sort the cards under the correct answer. Eventually, each of the four answer cards should have five problem cards sorted underneath. Once sorted, the students flip over the cards and must unscramble the funny phrases on the back! You can click HERE to get a copy of this resource. This particular sort focuses on finding the mean, median, mode, and range... other topics are also available in my TpT store!
3. Class Survey Circle Graph
When it comes time to learn about statistics, we do a lot of class surveys. This year we did number of pets, states traveled to, number of siblings, and in the example pictured we voted for a celebrity president. As you can see, we had some interesting candidates. We used the results from our class election to create a circle graph. It was a great way to get students engaged in our lesson!
I hope you all have found some useful ideas for teaching statistics and have a great rest of the school year!

The Federal Department of Customs and Border Protection has awarded a $5.1 million contract to migrate to a new enterprise content management platform.
The department will phase out its use of an Open Text platform and shift to version eight of Objective's enterprise content management platform.
Objective won the deal after a public tender that commenced in early 2011.
The department will also implement Objective Discover to aid searches of the document repository.
Objective CEO Tony Walls believed the vendor's public sector focus got it over the line.
According to AusTender, Objective has done deals with the Federal Government totalling worth $32.6 million since 2007.
The Customs deal will make it Objective's third largest Federal customer after Defence ($14.7m) and the Australian Securities and Investment Commission ($7.9m).
Objective has also been active in the state and local governments sectors.

Lost in translation
We just realised that I say "party" the way my husband says "potty". We have a very, very confused toddler :giggle:.
Re: Lost in translation
we have that same one sometimes.
Because when we sing the 'wheels on the bus', we have the dads on the bus saying 'party time' and most of the time it sounds like 'potty time'. :)

Cancer Bats-Dead set on living
Metal Blade
Canada's hardcore act the Cancer Bats have released their forth album. This is actually a mix of hardcore, and various metal elements including some definite blasts of doom. Most of the tracks are fairly heavy and I like how they cut to the chase and get straight into the songs. I also appreciate the raspy, seared through vocals particularly on "The void" and "Road sick". The music flows well away, but sometimes the riffs get buried below the vocals and even the drums in the mix. That's a shame because I think a more even mix would benefit their sound as a whole. Instead it sounds a bit muddy and even messy at times. My biggest problem with this album is that it just didn't stick with me. I listened to it twice, went to write the review and had trouble remembering much about them except the vocals were loud, really loud. So now I am listening to it as I write to be as fair as possible. I still get the definite impression that these songs just are not that memorable. Doesn't mean they are not good because they are decent. However the album is not good enough to make me want to hear it that often.
Labels: 2012, Cancer Bats

Pissed. If am limited to one word in describing my mood today it would be pissed. (If I can have two words, I'll go for pissed off.) For the past few days it appears that WordPress.com is inserting context link ads in my blog posts. The word gift and the words premium steak in different posts, which I did not link to anything, appeared with links to ads. This is not good.
When I first started blogging back on Blogspot I investigated and tried all sorts of blog advertising programs. And one I ditched very quickly were the text link ads. You never know what words they will choose to link nor where those links will direct your visitors. If you try to be careful or creative in where you link to, letting some widget add links to your post is so not a good idea.
For awhile WordPress.com seemed like a great idea. I was able to import my books blog, which I had been publishing for about three years before I moved it to WP.com. (I have to confess that I was so naive back when I started the books blog, that I actually thought I would make lots of money from publishing it. It didn't actually take me all three years to learn about niche and to realize that book reviewing is a complete non-starter for a money making blog. I had reached a point where I felt it was no longer reasonable to pay hosting fees to publish my book review site, and was thrilled that I could keep all of my years of published posts up and had only to pay a nominal fee to use the domain name I already owned. When I decided to focus my blogging efforts on this personal blog, WP.com seemed such an obvious choice, and given Empire Avenue's monitoring and scoring for WP.com I have until now been mostly pleased with it.
Part of me thinks these horrid ads they are inserting into my posts are more than a sufficient reason to move my blog away from WP.com. And yet I don't much want to spend money for hosting, nor do I want to lose the WP.com community features and Empire Avenue integration. So I am not, at least so far contemplating a return to self-hosted. But I'm really pissed and not all happy.

The application requires three card fronts, one scrapbook page, and two 3-D items. I had the three card fronts made when I realized that they were all three yellow and green! So I made a fourth card today with my new BFF, Peekaboo Peach.
Here are the three card fronts.
I think Pun Intended is one of my favorite stamp sets. I used Peekaboo Peach, Playful Palette paper stack, and copper embossing powder. Don't the people you love inspire you?
I love how people have been stacking stripes of washi tape from one of the washi tape sets. I thought the pineapple would look great with green stripes behind it, so I stacked all of the same color on the card. Oh, and I used orange sequins from an old Halloween Paper Pumpkin! Save the extras, they come in handy.
And here's my favorite! It's inspired by plates from the Crate & Barrel catalog. LOL The plates had such a Moroccan Nights feel, but were in bright summery colors that I just couldn't resist. I even made a tassel.
I scrapbooked the pages of Jessica and me at the 10 Nautical Miler race in Millington, TN. It was a horrible race, hot and boring and yes, we are awesome to have finished it! My race number should have been a clue.
See, I do love the Pun Intended stamps! The camera is my favorite one. I embossed the camera and the light flashes in silver and used the Playful Palette paper stack to add contrast to the black background. Look at the washi tape around the edges.
I was so intimidated by the 3-D items, but then I ended up having so much fun making them! The kitty cat gift bag (or as my son says, the hello kitty gift bag) was so cute that my son (my 26 year old son!) and I started giggling and laughing and couldn't quit! The party hat ended up being harder that I thought it would be, but I'm happy with the finished product!
Look at this cute kitty gift bag! She has rhinestone eyes, because, of course she does. The Sweet Sugarplum ribbon actually looks good against the Watermelon Wonder paper, who would have thunk it!
This hat! It took forever. I had a failure before I got to this, but still. Look how cute it turned out, though! I used the Pop of Pink DSP, Pop of Paradise Stamp Set, Sweet Sugar Plum, Flirty Flamingo, and Bushing Bride ink, and the only ribbon in the right color that I could find!
So there they are, my application pieces. I hope you like them! Leave me a comment below to tell me what your favorite is!

A month ago I ran a post covering how the Wilpons failed to observe some of the most basic tenants of investing in their involvement with Bernie Madoff, things that they teach you in Finance 101. Nothing earth-shattering mind you, just an outsider's take on some of the red flags they missed over the years.
The post has been floating out on the internets for awhile, and yesterday my spam filter snagged a couple of spammy comments that tried to tag on to it. Usually the comments run along the lines of "that was a very interesting post" or "thank you for enlightening me," but these two stood out, particularly when you consider the post's source material.
"Dagny Hilla" commented: "I'm pretty sure this topic was presented on Nightline." I guess. I mean, basic investing is a pretty ubiquitous topic, so I'm sure that's come up in the 30-plus years the show has been on the air. And I bet the Madoff scandal hit their radar at some point, too. Did they discuss this particular blog post (or even it's general theme)? Highly doubtful.
"Jamey Laprade" commented: "Are you serious? Hells yes you are, this should be required reading. with your permission, I will make that happen." Now we're cooking with gas! Hells yes, indeed! Jamey Laprade, you have my permission to "make that happen". I'll just sit back and wait for the page views to roll in.
Spam is dumb, and so is this post, but I had to memorialize these comments before they disappeared in my trash bin. With that, it's back to spring training position battles, selfish outfielders, and Oliver Perez' continued implosion.

I mentioned at the beginning of this blog page about adding some roleplaying material, and here it is.
I'm a big geek, and Ive played tabletop RPGs since I was 12. In fact, come June, Ill be celebrating 25 years of rolling dice and being a hero on paper.
As one of our adventures wind down, the group is gearing up for another. Specifically, Strange Aeons! This is a Pathfinder Adventure Path with a lot of Lovecraftian elements, and I dont have to tell you, Ive liked what I read from Lovecraft.
Now that all of that is out of the way, Im going to share how I go about creating a character in Pathfinder. This is a rare glimpse into my creative process, so buckle up!
First, Im going to eliminate any role in the party that Im playing in any other game. Im playing a healer in one other, and a wizard in yet another. (Yes, I have two other bi-monthly games, essentially one a week.)
Second, Im going to disregard any classes, or variations there of, that I dislike or dont feel comfortable with. Instead of listing these out, Ill just make a mental note and nix the optiins as they come up. After all, Ill be playing this game for around 4-5 years, I want to be comfortable with it down the road. (Thats not to say I dont challenge myself with new rules, I just save those for shorter games.)
Now comes step 3, which is a necessary evil, and thats finding and reading the players guide. Most Adventure Paths have one for free online, and it helps me understand the setting and gives advice on building your characters. I wont make you suffer through it here, but Ill break down the key points.
A) There's an option for us players to use the Occult classes and archetypes. Im not going to take that option because Im not comfortable with those rules yet.
2) There is a fair amount of suggested Urban choices, and part of the description mentions a big city. Im intrigued by this, Ive not played in an urban enviroment much, but I know a lot of good rules about it. I will try to include some urban options, but nothing super focused.
D) The guide mentions a lot of Aberration (makes sense with Lovecraft monsters) and Human enemies. Humans are easy to kill, but Aberrations worry me. So Ill try to look at some way to include a variety of weaponry and alternate ways to hurt them.
One thing about this path worried me when I read the players guide. There is talk of starting off without gear, and possibly recovering it later. Im never a fan of this, for personal reasons I wont go into. In order to mitigate this issue, Im going to try to buy/use as lottle gear as possible.
And thats my starting point to go look at options out there. Heres where I decide to do a mechanics build, as opposed to an organic build.
"Mechanics build" is where you lay out your character from start to finish and work out the details ahead of time, so theres little effort as it levels.
"Organic build" is where you play the character without preplanning every level, and instead, adjust your character during the course of the game, in response to the adventure itself.
When I do a mechanics build, I like to start with the higher levels first. I look at Prestige Classes first, to see if anything really appeals to my notes from the Players Guide. At first glance, there is one or two that jump out at me. The Assassin, and the Rose Warden.
Ive always wanted to play an assassin, and Im very familiar with their rules. Sneak Attack is key, and useful in putting down enemies quickly. I used to play Rogues, an almost required class to get into Assassin, a lot back in the Dungeons & Dragons era (2nd ed Advanced through 3.5), so I would also be well versed in the rules for Rogues as well.
Rose Warden is new to me, but has some familiar rules mixed in. It also has Sneak Attack, spiffy. And its got some options for Urban areas as it grows in power too. I like options. The big selling point though is the bonuses and eventual immunity to fear.
Its a Lovecraft themed game. Its going to be scary in there. Fear saves will happen people.
So I'll put that down as the Prestige class I want to go into. And getting into the class is a breeze. It requires 5 ranks in two skills, and a feat that will benefit me right out of the gate. Alright. I can get into the class at 6th level, which means I need a good build to set the Prestige Class on. Since there's no big racial or class feature requirements, I have a blank slate to work with.
Now I want to look at races. Since I dont have any requirement for races from the Rose Warden, but I do need a feat, Ill go for Human. The bonus feat takes care of Iron Will, and I get a boost to my saves vs fear.
At this point, I want to talk to some of the other players, and see what they want to play. Yes, Ive done some work, but if someone else wants to play a build similar to mine, Ill just start over after step three. A few of us talk, and its decided that I will cover the Skill Disable Device, and play some build that can do a lot of damage.
Now back to building. Im thinking Rogue as a base class here. Its got Sneak Attack from the start, and covers Disable Device. But I need a way to do damage without a weapon, and Rogue doesnt cover that by itself.
With a bit more research, I find a class archetype that gives me a cool weapon no one can take off my body.
The class is Vigilante. The archetype is Warlock.
This gives me the ability to make mystical bolts of energy with my bare hands, and I really like that. Also, as energy damage, it bypasses the dreaded Damage Reduction on nastier enemies. Bonus.
The downside is that I wont get Disable Device as a class skill, but Im lucky enough to get it from a trait instead. I wont be better than a Rogue, but I can make that up later.
That is it for tonight. Later, I go over ability scores, feats, and level dips.

A sustainable government

Yeah, but that means people get money without having to work. And conservatives simply can't be having with that.ReplyDelete
I guess I can't please everyone :-)ReplyDelete
I have been thinking about another scenario, more inline with the single payer, 'socialism' model. I like your idea, Actually I think I like it better. I think that the main thing that needs to be added is a system for incentivising entrepreneurship. After all, I believe the premise is that down the road we will be in a post-scarcity economy, and that un-employment is sky high high. With the living stipend, people will have the opportunity start businesses, develop new technologies, and create art/entertainment without risking their financial security. What I am thinking is that there could be some sort of barter economy, and that really good stuff would come out of this and 'graduate' into the cash economy. Many people will be of the mind do spend their free time constructively, but many will need incentives that could be designed by the government (or the free market).ReplyDelete
Of course the problem with such incentives is you can't know you're incentivising the right thing, and it costs money, which has to be taken from something else.ReplyDelete
As for a separate barter economy for pre-market-ready goods, I think that's quite likely. I think we already see some of that in open-source software where people trade on reputation long before they cash in monetarily on creating a successful open-source project.

When hiring professionals to do a job for you, you expect professional attitude, professional services, and professional results, right? You assume that you're working with experts who know their stuff and can easily handle the challenges they're presented with. You believe that you're dealing with licensed and trustworthy specialists who provide quality customer service at fair rates.
In the best case scenario, you'll be right – there are many reliable professionals out there who will do such a good job that you'll never regret the money for hiring them.
In a not-so-good scenario, however, you may hire incompetent people who just lack the professional know-how, rich experience, or proper equipment to perform quality work.
In the worst possible scenario, you may fall victim to scam artists who want to deceive and rip off their customers.
So, how can you avoid these last two disaster scenarios? How can you make sure you hire qualified and experienced specialists? Especially when it comes to a big and important endeavor, such as moving house, when professional assistance is so sorely needed?
When looking for moving professionals, you will most certainly want them to take good care of your items, work in a safe and efficient manner, and charge fair prices for their services. The only way to make this happen and ensure a smooth and trouble-free relocation is to hire a qualified, experienced, and reliable moving company.
How to know if your chosen movers are trustworthy?
To make sure that you're dealing with qualified professionals, you need to confirm that your chosen movers are properly licensed and well recognized for their quality services:
1) Verify your movers' licensing credentials
Professional movers are required by law to be registered and authorized to transport household goods and perform moving services:
# Intrastate moving companies need a state license with the State Department of Transportation or Bureau of Consumer Affairs in order to operate legally;
# Interstate moving companies must have a USDOT number issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
So, to make sure that your chosen movers are properly certified and insured, you need to find out if they have a valid USDOT number or state license. Go to the FMCSA official website (or your state's government website in the event of a local move) and enter the USDOT number (or MC number) of your chosen company. All the available data will be displayed – if the "Out of Service" field says NO, the "Household Goods" field says YES and the safety ranking is at least SATISFACTORY, you can rest assured that you're working with a legitimate moving company.
2) Make sure your movers are fully bonded and liable for damage
Upon signing a contract with a certified moving company, you automatically receive basic liability protection. It comes for free but covers only $0,60 per lbs per item and does not allow punitive damage claims. Such a limited coverage may not be enough to ensure your peace of mind and you may want to go with another insurance plan that works better for you.
A reliable moving company will offer full value protection – it incurs an extra charge but under it the movers assume liability for the full cost of repairs or the replacement value of any goods that have been damaged or gone missing while in their custody.
What's more, a properly insured moving company will provide workers' compensation and public liability insurance, so that you won't be held responsible for any accidents or personal injuries that may occur on your property during the moving process.
3) Find out if your chosen moving company belongs to a movers' association
Membership in a well-known and esteemed moving organization, such as AMSA, guarantees that the company abides by the federal laws, meets the quality standards held by the association, and has agreed to participate in arbitration programs.
Each US state has at least one association that represents the movers located in it (such as the California Moving Storage Association or the Florida Movers and Warehousemen's Association). These non-profit organizations have established certain standards for their members in order to help improve the moving industry and promote fair business practices. If a moving company violates the code of ethics set by the organization or uses illegal practices, it will lose its credibility and benefits of being a member of that organization.
Therefore, if the company you consider hiring for your move holds accreditation from a reputable movers' association, it is a guarantee of reliability and professionalism.
4) Check the company's business rating
Positive ratings and awards for service are among the most significant proofs of reliability and high quality a moving company can get. So, to find out what kind of company you're dealing with, you're advised to:
- Verify its accreditation;
- Check its rating with the BBB;
- Find out if it has won any awards or accolades for service;
- Ask for references and recommendations.
5) Research the company's online profile
The Information Age has made it really easy to research a moving company and get feedback from people who have already worked with it:
- Read moving reviews left by previous customers of the company you consider hiring for your relocation – reputable websites such as Yelp and MyMovingReviews contain hundreds of customer testimonials, attesting to the movers' excellent services or denouncing their lousy work. (RELATED: How to spot fake online reviews about moving companies);
- Visit the company's website and look for evidence of trustworthiness and competence (or the lack thereof) – a well-designed site that contains detailed information about the company will be an indication of reliability and transparency, while a poorly–built site that lacks a license number, physical address, or contact information should be a warning sign to stay away from the company (SEE ALSO: The red flags of moving fraud);
- Check the company's social media pages;
- Research the database of ProtectYourMove.gov, MovingScam.com, and other consumer protection sites to check your chosen company's complaint history or call the FMCSA's safety violation and consumer complaints hotline to ask about complaints against your potential movers.
6) Verify that the company has a legitimate place of business and visit the mover's office in person (if possible). This will allow you to get a good idea of the general working environment in the company and check their facilities (specialized equipment, truck fleet, storage units, etc.).
7) Examine the movers' paperwork
Make sure the moving company has provided all the required documents (order of service, Bill of Lading, valuation addendum, inventory lists, receipts, etc.) and read them very carefully to confirm that the details of your move are clearly and explicitly stated in the papers. Do not sign the moving contact unless you understand and agree with everything written in it (pay special attention to the small print).
If the moving paperwork is full and clear, then you're most probably dealing with honest and respectable professionals.
How to know if your chosen movers are experienced professionals?
To make sure that your potential movers have the expert skills and professional know-how required to perform a smooth and problem-free relocation, you need to find out if they have proper training and sufficient experience:
- Check for how long the company has been in business – The longer the movers have been in business, the greater experience they will have in dealing with different kinds of obstacles, unforeseen circumstances, specific requirements, and other moving challenges. Besides, if a moving company has remained competitive for many years, this means that it has proved to perform well;
- Check if the moving company has enough full-time employees to handle the moving jobs – Request a professional moving crew for your relocation – properly trained and skillful workers who will know how to handle your belongings in a safe and efficient manner. Understaffed moving companies often hire temporary workers (especially during the busy summer months) who lack experience and may make severe mistakes or even ruin your move;
- Check if the company has moved special items before – If you have a piano, pool table, hot tub, expensive artwork, antique furniture or any other highly treasured and difficult-to-move items, you're going to need movers who have a lot of experience in relocating such delicate and valuable goods;
- Check if the company has the necessary specialized moving equipment – No matter how skillful and well-intentioned your chosen movers may be, they won't be able to do a good job without the necessary equipment – quality packing supplies to ensure the best possible protection of your items during transit, specialized tools to perform any necessitated extra services (such as furniture disassembly, for example), a rope-and-pulley rigging system (in case hoisting is required), a moving truck of the right size to accommodate your household goods (in excellent condition and available on your preferred moving date), a climate-controlled and well-secured storage facility (in case storage-in-transit is required), etc.
If everything checks out, you'll be sure that your movers are properly licensed and highly experienced specialists who are really good at what they do – just the qualified professionals you've been looking for. Then, you can rest assured that your relocation will be a guaranteed success!

Quick run down on the hunt: Lasts to 29 February, obviously this year. Organised by Deprived Nation (sponsored by Razorblade Jacket, KKMAD and American Bazaar) and using Razorblade Jacket as a starting point. From there, the paths diverge as boys and girls follow their own independent trail through 50 odd stores each. It's well organised with an online SLURL and hint list.
It's the 'or' in the title that kicked me into action... Why this constant choice between fem or male... what about 'both' and 'neither'? *Feels the two boats under my feet quickly drift apart and, without middle ground, falls splash in the wet* Anyway, there's not much else to do but to take a ride in each boat in turn and see what happens.
I thought that for this first instalment, I would focus on stuff from a strictly 'correct' gender pow. For a second, why not revisit all the stuff and explore gender blurring?

BOTH Russia and Finland are to be asked to help pay for the repair of an historic Lewes graveyard memorial.
BOTH Russia and Finland are to be asked to help pay for the repair of an historic Lewes graveyard memorial.
The obelisk in the closed churchyard of St John-sub-Castro was erected in 1877 to the memory of 'Russian' prisoners-of-war who died while in captivity in Lewes Naval Prison between 1855 and 1856.
It was restored in 1957 by the Soviet Embassy but is now in need of new repairs.
The top of the obelisk is missing part of its Imperial Russian Cross.
Both embassies were contacted by Lewes Town Council tourism chairman Cllr Rachel Powell and on Thursday last week Finnish press attache Illkka Rentola joined her on a visit to the obelisk.
Erected on the orders of Tsar Alexander II, the memorial actually commemorates 28 Finnish POWs who died in Lewes during the Crimean War.
Although the campaign was centered largely in southern Russia, a secondary operation was mounted in the Baltic at a time when Finland was still part of the Tsarist empire.
In the summer of 1854, a British squadron attacked the fortress of Bomarsund which, it was claimed, could house up to 60,000 men.
Said Cllr Powell: 'The fortress fell and later in the year 340 Finnish prisoners arrived in Lewes to be treated more like guests than POWs, the officers being given complete freedom of movement and the men being allowed out in the town.
'The men who died did so from disease. At the war's end, the prisoners returned home and in 1877 the present memorial was erected.'
The town council feels that it is important to maintain the memorial in good condition and we contacted the Russian and Finnish embassies to let them know what we're about.
'Quite coincidentally we learned that in 2004 there is to be a major festival in the Aland Islands where Bomarsund was situated and the organisers were intrigued to learn about this largely forgotten piece of history.'
Mrs Powell would like to know where the missing part of the Imperial Russian Cross can be found.
'It would be nice to think of these two countries helping with the upkeep of a memorial in which they both have an interest,' she added.
Illkka Rentola said: 'The people of Lewes were extraordinarily kind to our people and it is great to know that the town still remembers what happened all those years ago. I'm sure the story will be prominently featured at the Aland festival.'

A New Symptom
>> Friday, August 24, 2007
A new symptom has set in and this time it's in the form of fear. Fear and anxiety is foreign to me...not something I've ever wrestled with before. It's gripping. Almost tortuous. Whether it comes from my brush with death this time last year and my current state of health has me scared of dying. Or my adrenal glands (the part of your body that helps us deal with stress) have gone awry and have my emotions out of whack...I don't know. Either way this is not normal for me. I've ventured out of the house a couple times this week and each time it has ended in either hyperventilation or dizziness, nausea and a gripping sense of fear. It feels almost like a sense of impending doom. It's hard to explain. But I know it's a sign that something is not right within me.
So what should I do? I could run back to all my doctors but I'll bet any amount of money they won't know what's wrong. They'll probably hand me a prescription for an antidepressant or the like. OR I could lift my eyes to the hills, from whence my help comes from. My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. "Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation."
When my thoughts turn to Him, it's amazing how peace washes over me, cleanses me. Immediately I feel some relief. I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord is my salvation. You can keep your antidepressants and your drugs...just give me Jesus. He is the best medicine.
However, I do believe that fear and depression are NOT something we should settle for. I believe they are God's way of signaling that something is NOT RIGHT within our bodies...they are symptoms just like a fever or pain. I am learning to pay better attention to my body. I am learning about the healing power of foods. And I am learning about the body's amazing ability to heal itself. If our bodies are out of balance then a whole host of things start going wrong. And as Americans (and I am very guilty of this!), we want quick relief. If something goes wrong we run to our doctors asking for the latest and greatest pill. What want relief and we want it now. There is a place for prescriptions in our society. I'm not denying that. But I want to take better care of my body than filling it with synthetic drugs. God gave us good foods...they are drugs too. And if we use them wisely they can heal even better.
I don't want to settle for being depressed. I don't want to just assume that this is part of the aging process. Something is NOT right within my body and I'm going to be responsible and allow it to heal and give it all the support I can in the meantime. I no longer want a quick fix. I'm in this for the long haul.
God keeps reminding me of the verse over and over again, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." I don't see fear and anxiety, depression or even constant headaches anywhere within God's plan for my life. He is the giver of life. He is where my help comes from! He is my source of relief.

Friday was a hard day to get people moving. I don't know why but every human being, self included needed the equivalent of a cheerleader hopped up on Red Bull with the strength of the Incredible Hulk to get their eyelids propped open. When your teen drops into the bin of socks and starts to snore, you know it's not good. I am a doggedly cheerful person in the morning and eventually got them marching. However I crashed later and no about of diet coke was going to work. So I put on a DVD and let the two youngest watch UP with me in hopes all three of us would nap. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Slow clap if you wish. It was a dumb bit of optimism on my part.
What I should have done, is strap them in the van, drive around the block once with music on, and then parked in the driveway for a snooze. However, the reality is, I didn't. So I awoke to my toddlers planning a surprise picnic on our bed. They had out the bread and the milk and the bagels and the grapes and cheese sticks. It was messy and delicious and I had to vacuum my bed.
The sluggishness of getting going continued to persist. We had pick up at 2:45. At 2:30 I was still searching for socks and shoes. Getting them on everyone, I said, "Let's go!" in my most enthusiastic voice. Paul marched out. Anna refused. She didn't want to go. "Come on!" I cajoled. "Look, your big brother is going. Paulie is going. Look at Paul. Don't you want to be like Paul? He's a good boy..." She started to go out the door. I hadn't checked Paul while I was singing his praises for going out the door.
He was sloshing through puddles. I mean kicking up Gene Kelly Big Finish Singing in the Rain I can out crash the cymbals kind of splashing. His sister had heard my appeal to be just like him perfectly. Guess who followed suit?
I grab the two soaking wet toddlers but they're already beyond salvage. Each will need a complete redo on the outfits down to the shoes. They are soaked soaked soaked soaked. I get them in the car and shut them in their car seats, making the car seats damp while I run back inside for fresh diapers and outfits. I bag the extra shoes, they can be barefoot.
But in my haste to get back to the house, I'd neglected the reality that I put them in each other's car seats. Paul can escape Anna's. So I'm zipping up the backpack and I hear HONK HONK HONK HONK HONK HONK HOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNK! and I'm running back to the car to find my son beside himself with joy, soaking wet, drenching my seat and holding down the horn. It is in this uncontrollable moment of pure chaos, that the rain begins to drop down as a solid sheet once again.
After I get them changed, dry down the seats and get them strapped back into the correct seats, I call my husband to tell him the whole story.
"At least they listened." he quipped.

4 FanDuel Premier League Players to Avoid for Matchweek 37
The main slate for Matchweek 37 features four Saturday matches, which includes only one club in the top nine of the Premier League table. FanDuel's late swap is available for the slate as it continues to be available for all soccer slates.
As with any sport, it is imperative to have your players, especially the high-priced studs, live up to their price tag. When making an investment into any player, it is important to determine which players will likely contribute in FanDuel's emphasized areas (goals, assists, and shots on target). It's also just as important not to overspend on players in bad matchups.
We should look to take advantage of the teams -- and players -- who play especially well either home or away while also looking at Vegas favorites and over/under totals. DFS players, as always, should look at injury reports and confirmed starting XI's when they become available.
Let's take a look at four players, across the entire pitch, who should be avoided in the upcoming matches.
Danny Welbeck, Arsenal
FanDuel Price: $8,100
Welbeck is the third-highest priced forward for Matchweek 37, and he has averaged 7.85 FanDuel points this season. Welbeck is priced well below the top two forwards on the slate as he is $1,800 cheaper than his teammate Alexis Sanchez and $1,600 cheaper than Bournemouth's Josh King, but he is the top-priced "value†forward. Welbeck has started seven matches this season, including two straight, and has averaged 12.38 FanDuel points in those matches.
The Gunners travel to bet365 to face Stoke City in Saturday's late match. The Gunners maintain the fourth-best possession percentage (56.1%) while taking 12.6 shots per match away from Emirates Stadium. The Potters maintain 48.8% of the possession while allowing 15.1 shots per match on their home pitch.
The Gunners have the highest implied total on the slate (1.75 goals), but the attackers will face a tough matchup against a tough Potters backline that has only conceded 20 goals at bet365 Stadium.
They have also been very stingy this season against forwards. They have allowed the fifth-fewest shots on target (41), sixth-fewest goals (16), sixth-fewest assists (6) and eighth-fewest shots (127) to forwards this season. In comparison to other clubs on the slate, the Potters have allowed the fewest goals, shots and shots on target while allowing the second-fewest assists.
Despite the high over/under (3 goals), both Welbeck and Sanchez received thought as the forward to avoid, with Welbeck ultimately winning out. King seems like the obvious play for forwards as Bournemouth is hosting a Burnley squad that have not performed well on the road this season. The Gunners' attack seemed to come to life in Wednesday's match against Southampton, but both attackers seem hard to trust when King, a forward in good form, is hosting Burnley.
Xherdan Shaqiri, Stoke City
FanDuel Price: $6,600
Shaqiri is the sixth-highest priced midfielder for Matchweek 37, and he has averaged 15.18 FanDuel points this season. Shaqiri has scored fewer than 10 FanDuel points in three of his last six matches while recording 1 goal and 2 assists in his last 14 starts.
Despite being involved in the match with the highest over/under on the slate, the Potters enter Saturday's match with an implied total of 1.25 goals. The Potters host the Gunners at bet365 stadium in Saturday's late match and are a 0.5-goal underdog.
The Gunners are not a good matchup for attacking-midfielders. They have allowed the third-fewest goals (4), third-fewest crosses (101), fourth-fewest chances created (43) and seventh-fewest assists (4) to attacking-midfielders this season. Arsenal is the toughest matchup for attacking-midfielders on the slate as they have allowed the fewest of each of those statistics compared to the other clubs on the slate.
Shaqiri has only scored more than 20 FanDuel points four times this season while averaging 9.45 FanDuel points in his other matches. Shaqiri's FanDuel points are extremely dependent on goals. He does not produce many statistics on his own and has only recorded more than three chances created in three matches this season, and he now faces the best defense -- against his position -- on the slate, making Shaqiri the top midfielder to avoid.
Adam Smith, Bournemouth
FanDuel Price: $6,300
Smith has topped his season average of 16.93 FanDuel points in three of his last four matches, but he faces a Burnley squad on Saturday that has been atrocious in road matches.
The Clarets have an implied total of 1.0 goal and enter Saturday's match as a large underdog. They are the league's second-worst squad in road matches, earning seven points in 18 matches, and they have scored the third-fewest goals (12) in those matches.
The Clarets maintain the third-worst possession percentage (42.3%) in road matches and are not a great matchup for defenders, especially on the right side. Burnley have allowed the fewest blocked shots (4), fewest tackles (36) and third-fewest interceptions (42) to right-backs this season. They have allowed the third-most clearances (112) and second-most chances created (31) to right backs this season, but Smith has not recorded over four clearances since Matchweek 22 and has only registered three or more chances created twice this season.
It's not a great slate for defenders, so avoiding defenders -- including Steve Cook -- against Burnley on the road seems ideal, given they are the two top-priced defenders on Saturday's slate.
Jordan Pickford, Sunderland
FanDuel Price: $7,200
Pickford is the third-highest priced keeper for Matchweek 37, and he has averaged 16.56 FanDuel points this season. Pickford has made five saves in back-to-back matches while averaging 24.63 FanDuel points in that span.
Pickford and Sunderland host Swansea at the Stadium of Light. The Black Cats are a 0.5-goal underdog, and the over/under is set at 2.5 goals. They have allowed the second-most goals on their home pitch, and the Swans have an implied total of 1.5 goals.
Clean sheets and saves are extremely important for keeper scoring on FanDuel, and Pickford has kept four clean sheets this season. Every clean sheet has come against clubs near the bottom of the Premier League table, and three of the four have come at the Stadium of Light.
The Swans have forced the 8th-fewest saves while allowing the 10th-fewest clean sheets to opposing keepers this season. They have been held scoreless in six matches on the road this season, including three of their last four away from Liberty Stadium and average the third-fewest shots on the road.
Sunderland have already secured a spot in the League Championship for next season, and the Swans are currently one point shy of the drop zone. The Swans have everything on the line over the next two weeks and need to get a result against the worst squad in the Premier League. Swansea should have an aggressive attack -- meaning a slight uptick in shots -- but the Black Cats have struggled all season to pick up clean sheets, making Pickford a keeper to avoid.

Aero Peek + Thumbnail Preview Eyefinity Issues
Aero peek and thumbnail preview work on my computer when not using an Eyefinity display group, but when I enable the group to use one large screen these two features do not work. I am trying to figure out how to get them to work. So far I have done the following:
-Checked that it is enabled in control panel
-Windows Auto Repair
-"SFC /SCANNOW" cmd
-Cleaned disk
I am not reporting any errors in device manager. My drivers on my graphics card are up to date as well. It is a brand new 7950, with the rest of the computer being less than a month old, so hopefully it isn't that. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

I had the same problem and just tried setting mine to "Never Combine" as you suggested but decided I didn't like it that way. When I changed it back to "Always Combine, Hide Labels" the thumbnail preview remained. Certainly worth a try.

Hi Kellenberg
Saw you over at Tom's - there was a different post there that mentioned VRAM swapping out to system ram, when that happens Aero ceases so DWM doesn't consume all of the system ram. It mentioned a 1Gb threshold - sorry, but I closed the window and lost the reference. search kw=aero eyefinity thumbnail.
Anyway, can you increase the VRAM in BIOS / NVIDIA? You might still reach "the" threshold what ever that may be defined. Other than that I won't be much help.
Good luck.

By LORI SERNA BS, RDH, MED
Are you one of those people who cringe every time you receive a reminder from your dental office telling you it is time for your yearly check-up? If so, you are not alone. Many people dislike dental visits and hold their breath when they see their dentist. Most people are ok with the regular cleaning appointment. It is the dental exam that holds the most anticipation. "Will they find a cavity? One? Two? I sure hope no more than that!" This is what goes through most patient's minds.
The culprit of dental cavities is bacteria that lives in our mouth; we commonly refer to it as dental plaque. Dental plaque begins to build on our teeth as soon as 20 minutes after eating. If this plaque is not removed thoroughly and routinely, dental cavities can start. The acid in plaque wears away the enamel surface of the tooth and begins to make holes in the tooth. Cavities usually don't hurt until they grow very large and involve the nerves.
By now most people know how to take care of their teeth. Brush twice a day and floss once a day is all you have to do to have a healthy beautiful smile. Right? Well that is not all. If you want to take it a one step further, avoid eating in between meals.
Every time we eat a meal, the environment in our mouth changes from neutral to acidic and so it increases the chances of getting a dental cavity. Your mouth will remain acidic for several hours after eating, so snacking is more likely to lead to caries.
You also can reduce the amount of acid in your mouth by eating sugary or starchy foods less often during the day. The more you snack the more time the acids are in contact with the enamel, therefore having a greater opportunity to make a cavity.
Sticky foods as well as sweets are best if eaten during mealtime, to avoid dental cavities. Sticky foods such as chips, and raisins are more harmful because they remain on the surface of the teeth longer.
If you must snack, brush if possible, or rinse the mouth with water after eating. Also keep in mind avoid constant sipping of sugary drinks, including milk, coffee or tea, and especially soda which is very acidic. Don't suck on candy or mints unless they are sugar-free. Chewing gum that contains xylitol helps to neutralize the acid that occurs after eating.
Remember to eat a healthy balanced diet to help your body build strong muscles as well as bones and healthy teeth and gums. Dairy products provide calcium and vitamin D for strengthening teeth and bones. Breads and cereal supply B vitamins for growth and iron for healthy blood, which in turn contributes to healthy gum tissue. Fruits and vegetables containing vitamin C (among other important vitamins) are essential to maintaining healthy gums. Lean meat, fish, poultry and beans provide iron and protein for overall good health, and magnesium and zinc for teeth and bones.
In celebration of October being National Dental Hygiene Month, the SDA Dental Clinic is offering free dental exams to new patients. Please call 234-6323 for an appointment.
Lori Serna is a dental hygienist who works with Saipan's SDA Dental Clinic on increasing dental health awareness throughout the CNMI.

as I wrote here (sorry for cross-posting, I think me posting this in the review section was a bit stupid):
I am currently modifying two Turnigy 9x transmitters and I broke the 2.4GHZ antenna wire.
I found this DIY:
http://azureengineering.blogspot.com/20 ... e-mod.html
So could I just get a replacement antenna of suitable length, cut off the plug they typically have and solder the wires of the coax cable to the same spot on the module?
Like these ones:
http://2.4ghzantenna.internetfreeblogho ... sm-review/
http://www.wonderlandmodels.com/product ... r-antenna/
http://www.fast-lad.co.uk/store/spektru ... -1916.html
Some things I should mention:
I am not interested in huge range, 50m would be more than enough.
The plastic thing supporting the antenna wire is still in one piece.
I have trouble even seeing the two solder points, so would ask some colleagues for help when soldering...
Thanks very much for any help.
I did quite a bit of searching, but most stuff I found was receiver soldering and I am not sure how different this is on the transmitter end.

It was a rainy, gray, thunderous morning here and we needed a good dose of morning sunshine to kick start the day. So I threw together an impromptu batch of what are now known as Sunrise Muffins. They were immensely good and we finished the muffins before I could take pictures. However, there was enough excess batter to throw in a small loaf pan to make one muffin loaf.
Hiding inside are fresh strawberries and nectarines which were marinated overnight in sugar and Kraken Spiced Rum. The fruit reminds me of an Arizona sunrise in July, brilliant reds peeking through oranges hues as the sun climbs over the horizon.
The muffins were moist and tender. The fruit was not overly sweet over so drunk on rum that all you could taste was the rum. Instead, the muffins, and by extension the loaf, were slightly sweet, nicely spiced, and light.
The perfect start to a Sunday was followed up with the perfect late lunch condiment, salsa! I love salsa, no seriously I love salsa that is fresh, homemade, and so spicy my mouth is on fire. Well, I succeeded in my last batch which included two small and extremely spicy peppers from our garden.
I made the salsa a week ago and put it in the refrigerator to marry the flavors. Any great salsa requires time to blend and become one and boy howdy, was the salsa blended perfectly. To be honest salsa is simple to make and healthy, and tastes nothing like the jars of salsa sold on supermarket shelves everywhere. Best part of homemade salsa is you control the heat and the ingredients. The recipe for mine is simple:
Roasted peppers – peeled and deveined
Lime zest
Lime juice
Dice the roasted peppers, onions, and tomatoes into small bite size pieces. Finely dice the garlic and cilantro then add it to the diced ingredients. Zest one lime into the mixture and lime juice to taste. Salt and pepper to taste (I never do).
Can be eaten immediately but for best results, refrigerate for at least a week.
Now you are set for the perfect accompaniment to almost any meal. Enjoy!

The "dog days" of summer are here – they began this past Sunday, July 3. They will continue through August 11. It's something we've all heard – those dog days of summer – and certainly have all felt, but do you know why it's called "dog days"? It's all about Sirius, the dog star (it's the largest star in the Canis Major constellation).During these sultry days of summer, Sirius rises and sets with the sun – a belief from antiquity that "explains" why it is so hot. Okay, that's an oversimplification but it's the general idea. Now you know why it's so hot – because of Sirius.

Gwyneth Paltrow: An Open Letter To The Open Letter Lady
Obviously, there are memes everywhere. Facebook is a bastion of memes for those who aren't even sure what memes are yet, and if they are any indication, the world will end soon, President Obama is actually the Antichrist (even though GWBush used to be), and Gwyneth Paltrow is a snotty, stuck-up biatch. It's this last one that I have a problem with — but only recently, and not because I care about actors or the entertainment industry.
I have no Earthly vested interest in Ms Paltrow's life, story, success, or impressions upon people. I don't even care for Coldplay, and probably would've been offended by Shallow Hal if I was as overweight as her character portrayed. But for the last five (at least) years, she has needlessly been the go-to hated-upon target for those who are not wealthy and want to be. Who aren't fit and want to be. Who aren't eating well and want to be. People complain about her acting, her cookbooks, her lack of empathy for "us," her whatever…what I'm telling you, if you are a hater, is that the envy is ugly on you.
Take this last one, for example: "A working Mom's Letter To Gwyneth Paltrow." (Click the link for the story.) What better way to tell everyone that they should care about you than to take a woman who works in an industry completely unrelated to yours, and compare it to your own. The gist of the beef is that this lady who wrote the article (Mackenzie) is complaining about not having millions per year as she commutes on the train to work every day and has to find babysitters for her kids, in defiance of Ms Paltrow's supposedly "easy" schedule and assumptions of "what it's really like". Like Ms Paltrow never had to work a day in her life, and has absolutely no idea what reality is. Here's the quote this lady is butthurt about:
"I think it's different when you have an office job, because it's routine and, you know, you can do all the stuff in the morning and then you come home in the evening," you said. "When you're shooting a movie, they're like, 'We need you to go to Wisconsin for two weeks,' and then you work 14 hours a day, and that part of it is very difficult. I think to have a regular job and be a mom is not as, of course there are challenges, but it's not like being on set." — Gwyneth Paltrow
No really, I mean this honestly: Is there nothing more productive that you can complain about? Gwyneth Paltrow is probably not completely accurate with this one-off quote that she probably told to some guy who reports for some magazine, but what the hell would you know about shooting a movie? Have you ever worked in her industry? Do you have any idea what it means to relate to her life? Clearly, the answer is no. She may not have any idea what it's like to walk a mile in your shoes. But obviously you have no idea what it's like to walk a mile in hers. So where do you get off throwing bombs at her?
I don't normally do posts like this (because I couldn't care less what kinds of problems Hollywood-types bring upon themselves), but I have a real problem with people who rag on others openly just because they have had more success. If you want that success, go out and find it yourself. Don't bitch about it behind the safe, shielded face of your computer screen.
Drawing the ire of the public to someone on grounds no more complicated than simple envy is ugly on you, and speaks volumes to your character. Knock it off, Mackenzie.

The physical infrastructure of cities and the systems that make our economy possible—energy, transportation, food and water systems, and waste management—are critical to our quality of life, economic recovery and climate resilience.
The economy both relies on these systems and affects our ability to construct and maintain them. As a whole, our infrastructure is aging, under maintained, and largely inefficient, and the impacts of that are not shared equally. There is a tremendous opportunity for improvement and almost no money to make that improvement. We need to maintain, upgrade, and replace our aging, outmoded infrastructure with greener, more efficient, and more effective infrastructure. But that does not mean we need "more" infrastructure. We need to build and rebuild better, not bigger—where "better" means not just efficiency or economy but also better service to the community, more jobs, more equitable outcomes, and healthier—or less harmful—environments.
We need a built environment that reduces runoff, buildings that use less energy, and healthier transportation solutions. But we also need to distribute infrastructure costs more fairly. The question of who pays and how is at least as important as the revenue total. When done right, pricing policy both reduces the total amount needed—as well as negative externalities from energy and infrastructure use—and can reduce longstanding economic inequities.
Through intelligent infrastructure investments, cities can save money, protect the environment, provide jobs to members of their community that need them, and mitigate climate change.
Financing Infrastructure
Cities have a range of options when financing infrastructure projects.
Learn more about transportation topics including Autonomous Vehicles and Parking.
Waste Management
In most cities, residents have few incentives to produce less waste. Cities should strive for zero waste, rethinking waste management to encourage reduction and reuse in each step.
Water Management
We feature two water management topics: Integrated Water Management & Building Rain Resilience

A place for my cardstock models.
I try to design models that go together fairly quickly, simply, and easily...but still look good.
And are sturdy enough for 25-30mm gaming...and other rough stuff.
And are free.
At least, that's the plan..........

By now I am sure you realize a few things about me. I never have "A Plan", I am not the one you want navigating your trip out of familiar territory, and I would do just about any ridiculous thing to get a darn ol' milk cow. You would be right!!! It was a relief to see that farm again and pull up to that red barn that held my dear milk cow. We backed in and she even loaded herself into the loading gate. She was ready to go.
We exchanged money and the short version of our long trip. The young man selling her got a few chuckles later that afternoon I am sure. She loaded with no problem. Hopped right into the trailer just like she was ready to go home with me. My dad was commenting on what a beautiful cow she was. I was feeling accomplished from the flattery my dad was sending my way. I think it was at that moment I really realized just how BIG she was. She looked out over the top of the gate at me and I looked at the man again. "She wouldn't jump outta that trailer would she?" I asked. He looked at me sideways, "Well she may trample you when she comes out of the trailer after a 3 hour ride, but she can't jump out." Then he laughs loudly....I sheepishly grin because I feel like a fool for even pondering such an event. Oh if I had only known what the next few hours would bring.
We said our "goodbyes" and were on our way. We wanted to make NO stops on the way home if we could help it. The trip home was uneventful and I was glad. I was concerned because she was 4 months bred so a pregnant cow in a hot trailer=not a happy cow. I soon found out just how, "Not Happy" she was.
About and hour from home the "middle" started asking if we could stop...he needed to potty. I told him there were some bottles in the back of the truck to use, that we were NOT stopping till we got home. As we neared our exit he became insistent that we stop. I held to my conviction that we would not. We pulled into the driveway around 5 pm. Tired, thirsty, in need of a bathroom, cramped legs.....my dad gets out to help me back up to the gate. We made it!!!! I look in the rearview mirror to see him motioning me back....then stop....then back....then stop, and then his face contorted in such a manner I opened the door to ask the problem only to see the front half of my cow coming out of the trailer......3....feet...from....the...gate....!!!! So very, very close. I slammed on the brakes and she did a nose dive onto the ground. Luckily she got right back up...I was so relieved she was ok that I didn't realize the problem of her not being inside the gate. She was free and there was school traffic running up and down our road from the middle school close by.
She headed into the woods and over to my dad's field. We followed and coaxed her with food, I begged and prayed and almost cried. The school traffic was enjoying the scenery of a large milk cow in the middle of an unfenced property. We almost drove her back home and then she made a run for it. She went a half mile down the road through the woods...in which I followed. She then ran into the road and we followed...Thinking, praying, what do we do. Then I saw a house that belongs to a friend and remembered he has a fenced in yard. We turned her into his drive way and into his backyard where she stayed till a farmer friend of ours came and helped us load her. We toted her back home and got her in the fence.
This was one of those days where you just wish you lived in the city and bought all your food from the grocery store. I was sure my dad, or myself would have a heart attack that night after all we had been through that day. But we all lived another day. I know we provided many people with laughs that day, and days later.... ourselves too. My only laugh to have that day was that we did not stop at a gas station to let him potty. She would have barreled over the door and been on the loose somewhere in a town we were unfamiliar with. We decided we would have just left her and cut our losses....I wanted to call the young man just to tell him how very wrong he was about her jumping out, but I just didn't want him to have any more laughs at my expense.
Why do this to ourselves? Some of you may wonder what in the world would possess a person to live the life we live. I will try to cover that in my next few blogs. But mainly it is my love of family, life, nature, and animals. But most importantly my love of God and the beautiful creation He gave us in this blessed land we call home. I look back at that day now and realize that homesteading is coupled hand in hand with my Creator who spurs me onto new and different things and experiences. The reality of it, though it is tough and sometimes difficult it builds bonds with the ones we love and memories that can never be taken away.
