Development of industry of whole machine tool is old, the market that mixes nearly two years in the high speed development that experienced gold 10 years is small after confusing, the structure of integral industry is adjusted gradually, numerical control intelligence kind innovation technology product is held in both hands by market heat. Accompanying the rapid change of market demand, homebred machining center also entered fast hair exhibition period. The data that comes from Chinese machinery Joint Industry Conference shows, "15 " and " 915 " in 10 years, industry of Chinese machine tool came true to exceed high speed to develop continuously, arrive all the time 2011 first half of the year, demand still very exuberant, enterprise of great majority machine tool is in produce and sale in the excited condition of two flourishing. But from last year second half of the year begins, demand is added sign is clear hasten delay, sheet of new revise and enlarge is acuteness glide, economic benefits state tends gradually austere, profit margin drops continuously. Although the high speed first half of the year increases mat base, total production value of annual China machine tool industry was added last year fast still realize profit to add to the 32.5%; of year end by the nearly 39% fall after a rise of the beginning of the year fast fall by the 57.5% drama of the beginning of the year 29.8% to year end. Visible, the phasic change of industry of Chinese machine tool is acuteness last year. 2011, the entrance of industry of Chinese machine tool is 20.7 billion dollar, and exit is 7.3 billion dollar, adverse balance of trade of imports and exports is as high as 13.4 billion dollar. Visible, the demand of product of tool of Chinese machine tool is objective existence, it is enterprise of domestic machine tool cannot be satisfied adequately only just if; can accomplish imports and exports be balanced basically, chinese machine tool industry can increase the sale of 13.4 billion dollar completely last year again. Homebred machining center entered fast hair exhibition period, current machining center with its efficient with high accuracy, get rapidder and rapidder development, already made the product that numerical control machine tool develops the fastest, place to occupy a proportion is the largest kind in of all kinds product, also be a kind of equipment with manufacturing industry the widest application, already made consumptive main trend. Developed country of a few main economy is the first job that regards machine tool of development numerical control as development machining center more, its development matters to national economy construction and national defence safety directly.

Dalian of rejected product of birth of eligible machine tool flies amount to enterprise of Hunan harmful pain
Sticking " certificate of approval " what machine tool production goes out is unqualified product completely, 460 thousand yuan of payment for goods in one's hand hind, refus does not admit the machine tool has quality problem, however with " operation error " wait for reason general responsibility all shirk gives the buying party, dalian flies the inferior machine tool that amounts to production of mechanical production limited company is killed sufferred from Hunan double horse electric limited company. Came in May 2010 during August, hunan double horse is electric limited company (company of double horse of the following abbreviation) fly from Dalian early or late amount to mechanical production limited company (the following abbreviation flies amount to a company) purchased lathe of 3 Chan Zhuli type, among them CX5110 two (number is D1008101, D1008102) respectively, CX5112 (number D1005056) , goods is worth add up to 460 thousand yuan. However, double horse company discovered during facilities tries an operation machine tool precision forbids to wait for quality problem, machine the product that come out to short of quality asks and all can discard as useless only, because this is serious,manage what affected a company normally, caused huge loss to the company. Detect via double horse company discovery, actual precision does not accord with the machine tool fly the tolerance on the product certificate of approval that amounts to a company to offer, and error is bigger. The lathe of odd column vertical that is D1008101 with number is exemple, fly the place of certificate of approval that amounts to a company is shown " workbench end panel is jumpy " allow difference is " 0.05mm is inside 1000mm diameter " , fly the actual measurement value that amounts to a company is 0.03mm, but value of actual measurement of double horse company is 0.08mm. The immediate consequence that machine tool precision forbids to bring about machines the product that come out to not agree with namely add up to norms to ask, cause " round, square " case, this is an immense labor to rigid production business. As we have learned, double horse company ever forbade to wait with respect to machine tool precision in June last year problem and fly amounted to a company to undertake for many times negotiation, although the other side ever sent a person 3 times to come round to maintain, but inextricability from beginning to end problem, equipment still cannot be used normally up to now. Subsequently, fly amount to a company to handle the reason shirk responsibility such as error with double horse company unexpectedly, refus does not respond to all requirements of double horse company. But under, double horse company pledges to Xiangtan city inspect bureau is complained. Xiangtan city pledges inspect bureau stems from service company, maintain the position of business rights and interests, the requirement flies before amounting to a company to send a person, will handle relevant matters concerned, danfei amounts to a company still the attitude is aloof. This year on April 1, xiangtan city pledges inspect bureau pledges to Hunan Province inspect bureau applies for product quality appraisal. Suffer Hunan Province to pledge inspect bureau is appointed, the expert has collate test at going to the spot on April 19 related organization of institute of Hunan Province quality inspection. The expert is undertaking detecting. Basis of personnel of spot survey produce the expected result " vertical lathe examines conditional precision examines the 1st part: Chan Zhu and lathe of double column vertical " (GB/T 23582.1-2009) is right the project of place designation of certificate of approval of product of 3 machine tools undertook precision examine, according to " the metal is cut cut a machine tool current technology condition " (GB/T 9061-2006) , " the metal is cut cut machine tool casting pig technical condition " (JB/T 3997-94) level is right hardness of cast of beam of 3 machine tools undertook examining, examine eventuate does not accord with national level to ask. Meanwhile, crossbeam is perpendicular and mobile shift of the verticality of the face, vertical to workbench tool carrier is opposite ram of the parallelism of workbench face, vertical tool carrier moves the parallelism of pair of workbench axis of rotation (or goods of vertical tool carrier moves really the verticality of pair of workbench faces) wait for a project. Additional, value of hardness of surface of cast of beam of 3 machine tools all also does not accord with GB/T 9061-2006, JB/T 3997-94 the requirement of relevant provision. The expert discovers in detect, fly amount to a company charge for the making of sth. of product of these 3 machine tools is very coarse, and the industry standard of designation of the place on certificate of approval all far the requirement under national level. After product quality survey report comes out, bureau of Xiangtan city qualitative inspect gives at will reporting the result is sent with express means on May 7 fly amount to a company, the requirement sends a person to come round to assist processing, danfei amounts to a company still pay no attention to, end before distributing news dispatches, this company still did not manage with double Ma Gong or bureau of Xiangtan city qualitative inspect gets in touch. As we have learned, dalian flies amounting to mechanical production limited company is business of mainstay of stress of production industry of Dalian city machinery, of production (number is shown, numerical control) lathe of Chan Zhu, Shuang Zhuli type, sell each district of past whole nation not only and sell as far as to the world each district such as the United States, Russia, Italy. Normally for, the machine mass that this company produces is to have assure, fly however 3 machine tools that amount to a company to sell double Ma Gong manages all appeared same quality question, and be tagged on product certificate of approval industry standard actually under national level, this lets a person unimaginably queer. This kind reduces product standard to produce the method of responsibility of shirk of problem of quality of inferior product, occurrence product, let a person generate suspicion to the character of this enterprise indeed.

I have succumbed to the pudding pie. You are just so quick, so fast, so easy, so cheap. You have 4 ingredients none of which require any more prep than opening. My stove is not even consulted (except for baking the pie crust).
If this was anything else, I would probably try to figure out how to make this without using the pudding. But, alas, I am a graduate student or aka poor. I went to the store and I literally had in my hand the package of pistachio nuts, and the package of pistachio pudding mix. Hum….$10 or $0.49….did I mention I was poor?
This is the same feeling I have when I read recipes where they garnish with macadamia nuts, or they use truffle oil on cooking shows. Really. You think normal people have access to that?
So I went with the pistachio pudding mix. Artificial flavoring is my friend, apparently.
In the theme of fast food, this is a as you like it kind of recipe (Burger King reference). By varying the amount of pudding mixture used, you can drastically change both the flavor and the texture of the pie.
1 pudding mix will give you a slightly green pie that will have the consistency of ice cream and have a slight pistachio flavor and is not overly sweet.
2 pudding mixes will give you a greener pie, but it will still be reminiscently milky, and the consistency will be a little less like ice cream and more like frozen yogurt. It will have a slightly stronger pistachio flavor, and a much stronger sugar flavor.
3 pudding mixes will give you a GREEN pie and the consistency will be like pudding, even after it's been in the freezer overnight, it will just be like frozen pudding. It will have a strong pistachio flavor, and a strong sugar flavor.
4 pudding mixes would be excessive and possibly implode. But definitely let me know if you try it and survive.
1 ½ cup cold milk
1-3 packages instant pistachio pudding mix
1 cup whipping cream
1 9 inch pie crust
A note on the pictures. Since the different amounts of pudding used make the pies look very different at all steps, I have included pictures from the 1 and 3 pudding pie. The picture on the left is always for the 1 pudding pie. The picture on the right is always for the three pudding pie.
Heat the oven to 350OF.
If you've let your pie crust warm up, you can directly roll it into your pie tin. If you've just taken it out of the refrigerator and are impatient, like I was, roll it out on a flat surface. This is a little easier and will lead to fewer tears in the pie crust.
Take your pie crust and firmly press it into the pie tin on both the sides and the bottom. With a fork, stab the pie crust multiple times making sure that there is no space bigger than your thumb that isn't pricked. This always makes me feel that a porcupine has had a fight with my pie.
Take the top edge of the pie crust, and fold it between your thumbs in order to make the ruffling. Try not to pull the pie crust away from the side of the pie tin when you do this, as it can lead to the pie sinking down, which actually did happen to me with the 1 pudding pie.
Also, don't look at the pie crust from the 3 pudding pie too closely, I tried this new gadget when I was making it and it didn't work at all.
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. After pie is done baking, remove from the oven and let cool completely.
In a mixing bowl combine your cold milk and pistachio pudding mix. Even if you use three packages, this will mix pretty easy with just a spoon. Mix until the pudding mix is completely incorporated. If you are using 1 or 2 mixes, this will be pretty smooth, but if you're using 3 mixes it will look a little grainy and be very thick.
Pour the milk mixture into a freezer safe container, preferably with a lid, and freeze for about 30-45 minutes until the mixture is completely solid and cold to the touch.
After the milk mixture is frozen, take it out of the freezer, and scrap it into a mixing bowl. You can use the same one as before and add the whipping cream. If you're using 1 pudding mix this will blend really easily with just a spoon and will be almost white, with 2 mixes it will be a little harder but you should still be okay to use just a spoon, with 3 mixes you're probably going to want to use an electric beater since it gets really thick and it will be GREEN.
After the whipping cream is mixed in, pour the mix into the prepared pie crust. Smooth out if necessary. Return to the freezer and freeze overnight.
While this does end up taking you awhile from all the freezing steps, I'd say all and all you're actually actively working on the pie for less than 20 minutes.
And I just think this looks funny, this is what the 3 pudding pie looks like when you first pour it into the pie crust. It's defying gravity!

In a previous post I briefly discussed the stupefying success of bottled water given that is at best indiscernible from tap water and at worst can actually be of lower quality. I was interested last night, therefore, to see a bottled water taste test performed live on a German talk show imaginatively called "NDR Talk Show." The show's format is such that the two hosts sit with eight well-known guests around a large ovular table and they all chat about various topics for the duration of the show. During one segment in last night's show, a "wine and water sommelier" discussed the different tastes and uses of premium bottled water, going so far as to even talk about how to pair water with food. During her little spiel, each guest was given four different types of water in crystal glasses to taste and rank. After each glass was ceremoniously sipped and evaluated, virtually all the guests indicated that they liked the third type of water the best.
So which type was the best? Well, it wasn't the Norwegian glacier water that cost 5-6 € per liter, nor was it another premium brand that cost around 70 € per liter--no, it was Hamburg's finest tap water, which commands the formidable price of about 1.25 € per thousand liters. The sommelier looked appropriately dismayed with the results.
Of course, how could I not see the true economics at play here? The value of bottled water isn't in the taste or the quality of water, but rather in its ability to signal status and wealth.
Only time will tell how long until rappers begin wearing bottles of Evian around their necks--bottle bling, anyone?

text: This is just a quick post to share our last Desert theme art project. It's nothing that hasn't been done before. I put out glue bottles and bowls of colored sand. The kids could make designs with the glue and then sprinkle the sand on top. Then they had to quickly shake off the extra sand. If they took too long, the glue would drip down the paper! Although, that can look cool, too. The picture below is of a cactus in the desert. Even though I never said they had to make something that went with the theme, I sure love it when they do!

Richard Snyder Poetry Prize Winner Announced
Gabriel Spera's manuscript The Rigid Body was chosen by Natasha Tretheway for publication by Ashland Poetry Press later this year.
Manuscripts are now being accepted for the 2012 Snyder Prize. Contact me soonest if you would like your manuscript prepped for this and other spring poetry book/chap book competitions.
Poetry Book Group Discussion Today
Today, my monthly poetry book group will be discussing Steve Huff's More Daring Escapes (Red Hen Press, 2008). His poems on the subject of the working life are reminiscent of Jim Daniels' work though Huff's poetry, while equally as gritty, has more poetic fluidity than Daniels' jabs and punches. One can argue the efficacy of "How the Poem Means" vis a vis each of these poets' styles though I am inclined to consider each equally compelling. Huff's work comes more as a reflection of a middle-aged man than Daniels' fresh-out-of-the-factory youthful perspective.
To read a review of Huff's book (not mine, however) visit: http://whatistheverd.wordpress.com/2011/12/09/book-review-more-daring-escapes-by-steven-huff/.

Poem Published in Ruminate
With the new year comes a new publication to announce. My poem "Smoke and Cloud" appears in Ruminate Issue 22: Up in the Air http://www.ruminatemagazine.com/issue-22-up-in-the-air/. Ruminate's tag line is "Chewing on life, faith and art." This is an appropriate venue for my most recent work since my writing leans in a more spiritual direction. This work is also less narrative than most of my published poems.
Please check out the web site and let me know what you think. Purchasing a copy of Issue 22 will also be appreciated, by the magazine and me.

The story of The Monks is one of the strangest in rock history. Though they remained obscure for decades after their split in 1967, they are now regarded as clear precursors of punk and one of the pre-eminent cult bands of the 1960s. I won't rehash their story, which is readily available elsewhere, but I thought I'd share some rare odds and ends I have accumulated. First of all, here's the original press release sent out by Polydor International's German division to announce their album and debut single in April 1966. I am most grateful to Wolfgang Voelkel for the translation printed beneath it. [Wolfgang also told me: "I saw The Monks at Beat Club in 1966. I was sitting there hoping to see The Hollies or someone like that, and then came The Monks. I was really shocked. They were so terribly different."]
A few things strike me about this. Firstly, in its early days the band was called Monks, not The Monks - nowhere on their first two singles, album or promo material were they called anything other than plain Monks. Secondly, Polydor was clearly aware that they were unusual, and exploited their freak appeal in marketing them. Thirdly, the album is referred to as just Monks here, though it was released as Black Monk Time shortly afterwards. Fourthly, it's interesting that they intended to play in America only if they sold records in Germany: I am sure they were correct in assuming that unless they had a track record of success elsewhere, no one in the US would have touched them at the time. Finally, perhaps part of their uniqueness can be attributed to the fact that each member came from a different part of the US (they were of course thrown together as GIs in Germany): Minnesota, Texas, Chicago, Washington and California. I can't think of any contemporaneous US band with members from such different corners of their homeland - almost all bands worldwide in early 1966 came from one place.
Here are the artwork & labels for their first two 45s and the Black Monk Time LP. As you can perhaps make out, the label to side one of my LP (which once belonged to a radio station) has 13/6/66 written on it:
Polydor also printed some promo postcards in the spring of 1966. The one I have is signed on both sides to one Brigitte, evidently from Cologne:
On the back of the card the inscriptions read:
For Brigitte! The nicest girl in Koln! Love ya! Gary
To Brigitte, best wishes and I hope you come to see us whenever you can, Roger
Brigitte, you have black on your lip, Eddie
Thanks for coming with Liz to see us, best wishes, David Day
Beneath the scribble, the German text reads: 'Gary Burger plays lead guitar and was born in
. Roger Johnston from Minnesota plays the drums. Texas boy: that would be Larry Clark. Crazy fingers on the organ. His father is no gangster, but a priest. And Dave Day has more than one banjo, and more than one microphone built into each of his banjos. He says he was born in Chicago . And Eddie Shaw from Washington does whatever he fancies with his bass guitar!' California
The band played around Germany, appeared on radio and TV (check the amazing Beat Club footage on youtube) and had many adventures, as chronicled in Shaw's Black Monk Time book. Nonetheless, they didn't sell many records, and the age-old disagreements over musical direction led to their split in 1967 after the release of a final (and far less confrontational) 45 that April. Below is the picture sleeve (which is identical on both sides) and the relevant label from a Polydor radio promo LP of the time, also showcasing hot releases by Bert Kaempfert and others:
I assume that articles and reviews appeared in the German music press at the time, but I have never seen any. If anyone has any, please get in touch!

The summer is now over, and the new academic year is just about to begin here at Blackfriars, Oxford. We have said goodbye to some student brothers, and we have welcomed new ones. Above is a photo of us all (Back from L to R: Brothers Isaac, Albert, Cuthbert and Andy, who is from the Western Province of the United States; Front from L to R: Brothers Joseph, Thomas, and Vincent-Antony).
Not only are we beginning a new year with a new team, but we are also beginning a new mini series, which will take us until Advent. It is entitled 'The Neglected Books of the Old Testament". Included will be the following: Judges, Ruth, Baruch, Obadiah, Nahum, Habbakuk, Zephaniah, and Haggai. We hope that you will enjoy this series which aims to introduce you to these more unfamiliar books of the Old Testament.
Please pray for the studentate at Blackfriars and for each brother's vocation, and especially for more vocations to the Order of Preachers.

(To tint coconut, add 1 to 2 drops food coloring, close bag or cover with lid and shake to tint coconut the desired color.) Set aside.
Using powdered sugar, dust a cutting board and an 11- by 17-inch jelly roll pan with sugar. Place one round cake layer in the center of the jelly roll pan to serve as the bunny's head.
Place remaining layer on cutting board and cutout a half circle shape on each side of the cake (for the ears) leaving a bowtie shape in the center of the cake. The bowtie shape should resemble an hourglass and be about 1 1/2-inches in width at the widest area. Place half circle shapes above the bunny's head pointing upwards to resemble bunny ears. Place the remaining hourglass shape below the cake round to make a bowtie or collar.
Frost the entire top and sides of cake with frosting.
White Coconut:
Sprinkle bunny's head and ears with white coconut. Press additional coconut onto sides of cake.
Pink Coconut:
Sprinkle pink coconut in center of bunny's ears and on the bowtie/collar. Press additional pink coconut onto sides of cake.
Green Coconut:
Sprinkle green coconut around outer edge of bunny to cover the exposed pan and resemble grass.
Bunny's face:
2 pink jellybeans to resemble eyes
6 3-inch strands of licorice to resemble whiskers
1 dark colored jelly bean for the nose
1 jelly bean for the mouth
3 jelly beans in the center of the bowtie or collar to resemble buttons
Please note that some ingredients and brands may not be available in every store.

text: Just like the commercial catchphrase of "there's an app for that," when it comes to the Super Bowl, there's a bet for that, whatever that happens to be. Since the first prop bet involving William "The Refrigerator" Perry in Super Bowl XX, the concept has boomed to the extent that account for 40 percent of the game's action. Here are some notables for the Broncos-Seahawks showdown in New Jersey:

This was our third annual hosting of Thanksgiving with friends (second in Garrison). It's such a wonderful thing to do, and enjoy; Spending the holidays with friends. After I moved away for college and worked my way to the West Coast, my thanksgivings were split each year between my father in California, or going to Virginia to see my mom. When she moved to Germany for 3 years, it was either spend it with father, if he was in town, or quite often spent with a friend and her family.
As quite often predicted, those dinners can be fun, but awkward. Being a stranger at someone's table presents interesting opportunities... questions. Things to be answered or quietly redirected. Usually the color of my hair was a hot topic. These were good times and bad.
When I moved to New York with my german boyfriend, I started to do Thanksgivings with my Manhattan friends. Not a unique thing for young manhattanites. These are usually a group of 20something couples and singles displaced from other parts of the country or Europe. They were big fun meals, and well cooked. The conversation was hot and easy going.
When I met my husband, it changed again. He being from Manhattan, and having parents in the city changed the annual holiday ritual. What was interesting though (his parents being divorced) going to his mother's for Thanksgiving was a different variation on my previous "friends" Thanksgiving. Her dinners included her friends from New York. And they all rivaled in culinary skill. It was interesting to partake in a different kind of ritual.
But she moved out west. And oddly enough timed, right after we had twins. And so, we sometimes had dinner with his father, or my mother in Virginia. Maybe once with my father, who had moved to Colorado. Basically, alternating 4 sets of grandparents each year between Thanksgivings and Christmases. Not easy.
So about 4 years ago, we decided traveling during the holidays sucked. About the same time, we started making a whole new group of friends in Brooklyn. At that point most of my Manhattan friends moved away... got married, started their new routines.
Family is very important to me. They will always be there for you no matter what. As will best friends that were made when your younger. But when your an adult, friendships become a different kind of family. A new family. You have the same interests, same struggles, same dilemmas... and joys. It so nice to open a bottle of champagne, play backgammon, cook together and then sit down with your friends and loved ones, and share a delicious meal. And say, Thank you for being there for me. Thank you for being my friend. And thank you for sharing this meal with us.

Invasive Rhododendron – what's in a name?
August 3, 2016
Rhododendron ponticum is the name commonly used for the invasive purple rhododendron frequently found growing wild in the British countryside. In itself, a nice shrub in its season, but it has the ability to spread by seeds or layers and can regrow from roots or small parts of the stem so it is difficult to eradicate. On acidic soils in areas with high rainfall, it spreads rapidly, and can quickly form a ground-covering monoculture, smothering native species. It has also recently become a susceptible to a number of toxic fungi, which then spread with it to infect woodlands, leading to greater efforts to eradicate it.
As a result of this, Rhododendron ponticum appears in Schedule 9 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, making it an offense to cause it to grow in the wild – an obvious precaution against further spread. But WACA 1981 also makes it an offense to offer the plant for sale, or to possess viable plant material (including seeds) for the purposes of sale – a major problem for garden centres up and down the country who all offer R.ponticum varieties as garden plants.
As a result effort has been made to try to differentiate the invasive plant from the garden varieties, with Cullen in 2011 suggesting that the invasive plant was a "hybrid swarm" to which he ascribed the name R. x superponticum. However DNA testing has revealed that the common UK invasive plant is derived from the wild native populations of R. ponticum in the Iberian Peninsula (which shares its propensity to spread) and distinct from the native R. ponticum population in the Caucasus (which does not spread as freely) and from which many of our non-spreading garden varieties have been developed.
On the basis of this finding, it has been suggested that the invasive Rhododendron common in the UK (and also found in the Iberian Peninsula) is named Rhododendron ponticum spp. baeticum, making it distinct from the garden varieties bred from Rhododendron ponticum spp. ponticum (the Caucasus species), neatly solving the legal tangle of the species being sold in the garden centres. Hopefully, if this distinction becomes widely recognised, WACA 1981 Schedule 9 will be updated with the specific name, and the issue of it's sale in garden centres will finally go away!
Just as a footnote, it's worth remembering that before the last Ice Age, R. ponticum was widespread as a native plant in the UK and much of northern Europe, and it's only with the changing climate as the ice advanced that it was eradicated from our shores. Had not the changing sea levels submerged the land bridge as the ice retreated, we might now be considering this population to be a "troublesome native species" rather than the "invasive non-native species" it is now branded!

When considering obstacles to the consolidation of democracy in Africa, we tend to focus on the obvious — the legacy leaders who refuse to relinquish power, some holding on for 20 or 30 years. We look at politically orchestrated violence, the buying of votes, state manipulation of the electoral machinery, and the weakness of democratic institutions. But an often overlooked impediment to the continent's democratic emergence is the fate of leaders who do play by the rules, who do respect their constitutions, and take on corruption while in office. What happens to them?

There is no doubt that many people will want to shop at a Burbank Walmart because of its low prices. Sure, there are traffic issues, and impacts on other businesses.
But have you ever inquired as to why their prices are so low?
If Walmart were to set up a section containing only products made in the United States, it would probably make up less than 10% of the store.
Visit an existing Walmart and count the number of items for sale that are made in China. Then, realize that the people who are making those products are making less than $1 an hour! This is evident in so many of the big-box discount stores, including Kmart.

The Ackland Art Museum, in collaboration with the Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership and the Town of Chapel Hill, is thrilled to welcome The Rural Academy Theater as it clip-clops its way into our town!
The Rural Academy Theater is a collaboration of individuals―both two-legged and four-legged―creating theater for primarily rural audiences in response to the growing urbanization of our culture, economy, food, education, media, and art.
Rural Academy Theater's annual horse-pulled tour brings performers, musicians, sculptors, and dancers to town greens, college campuses, riverbanks, and farms via horse-pulled wagon and bicycles. They perform evenings of original theater under the stars or clouds, using their wagon as their stage.
The 2015 Rural Academy Theater tour is a celebration of season and place. The performance opens with a modern skewing of the Persephone myth, while following the conversation of a small band of dinner guests joined for an annual meal. The show explores our ties to agrarian rhythms as well as our modern disassociation from them. The story springs to life through shadow puppetry, song, and physical theater.
The feature presentation will be followed by a screening of Buster Keaton's 1922 silent film Cops, accompanied live by The Rural Academy Orchestra.
Suggested donation: $5-$10 for children; $10-$20 for adults. Please bring your own blankets and chairs to sit on!

Turahalli - The Last Lung Space in Bangalore South.
About Turahalli
Turahalli is located in south of Bangalore off Kanakapura road nearly 8 kms from Banashankari temple. It is a dry deciduous forest with lot of eucalyptus trees and other wild shrubs and trees. It has often been observed existence of many wild animals like jackal, hare, monitor-lizard, mongoose etc. Also, this happens to be one of the favorite places for bird-watchers as many rare species of birds are found in this area.
A number of school camps are often held here. These camps give children that exposure to nature, which is essential for imbibing first hand learnings and for fostering the importance of the environment. From watching and identifying birds, butterflies or insects or learning the basics of rock climbing or rappelling children have had such varied experiences here.
Bird watchers have long frequented Turahalli and list of species sighted at Turahlli compiles as a lengthy one. Some of the birds such as Great Horned Owl treasures up as very important sightings.
Of late the various happenings around the place have threatened the preservation of the area. Laying of jeep tracks, felling of trees and shrubs, expansion of the temple, defacing of the boulders, crimes committed in the area have caused a lot of concern.
We would like to bring to the fore all these occurrences that we view as a threat to the maintenance and preservation of the area. We would like to urge and request the concerned officials to take suitable measures for remedying the already imparted damage.
Turahalli because of its proximity to the city makes it for a quick getaway for those wanting respite from the pollution of the city and the mundaneness of work life. Be it for children or adults, the presence of a large number of trees and boulders, which make it quite unique from other lung spaces at Bangalore, makes Turahalli quite an ideal place to rejuvenate oneself. Though a lot of greenery was cut down and ponds filled for laying of the housing plots the place is still frequented by various groups.

View Los Angeles's Data Panels at http://www.lacontroller.org
Los Angeles – The Center for Digital Government (CDG) ranked Los Angeles at the top of its 2016 Digital Cities Survey — which recognizes cities using technology to improve services, enhance transparency and encourage engagement. In naming Los Angeles the nation's top digital big city, the Center cited L.A.'s open data efforts. City Controller Ron Galperin launched the City's first open data portal, ControlPanel LA, in the fall of 2013.
"Our spot at the top of the rankings is recognition that we're using open data to increase transparency and accountability, and to make Los Angeles's government more responsive," said Controller Galperin.
The Controller's extensive open data program offers an array of raw data, charts, graphs, story maps, infographics, and interactive dashboards.
Last month, Galperin released an interactive map of City-owned properties built around the most comprehensive database of Los Angeles real estate assets ever compiled.
The last time Los Angeles topped the CDG's survey list, in 2014, judges made special note of Galperin's CheckbookLA site, where users can view all of the City's expenditures.
"Angelenos know that our website is the place to come for useful information about the workings of their City," said Galperin. "And through our valuable collaborations with the Mayor's office and the Information Technology Agency, managers are using our data to run L.A. more efficiently and increase the quality of City services."
Controller Galperin's open data panels, available at www.lacontroller.org, include:
ControlPanel, with information about the City's financials and performance data;
UtilityPanel, with financial information and performance data about the Dept. of Water and Power;
GeoPanel, with interactive maps relating to the City's finances and programs;
EconomyPanel, which allows users to view demographic and economic data about the City at the hyper-local neighborhood level;
PropertyPanel, which is the most comprehensive map of City properties ever assembled.
According to the CDG, judges selected the winners based on six criteria, including priorities; demonstrated return on investment; progress over the previous year; creative/innovative approaches; effective collaboration; and successful measures of transparency, privacy and security. The top-ranked cities were determined to be "the most strategic, efficient and innovative guardians of public-sector tech in the nation."
The top-ranked cities received awards on Nov. 17 at the National League of Cities' annual conference in Pittsburgh.
The Center for Digital Government is a national research and advisory institute on information technology policies and best practices in state and local government.

Two men, one from Middletown and one from New Castle, were sentenced Aug. 30 for robbing 20 stores in Delaware, Pennsylvania and Maryland in the summer and fall of 2016.
Two men, one from Middletown and one from New Castle, were sentenced Aug. 30 for robbing 20 stores in Delaware, Pennsylvania and Maryland.
Chief U.S. District Court Judge Leonard P. Stark sentenced Michael Kolmonen, 30, of Middletown, to 15 years in prison and Brian Branch, 30, of New Castle to 16 1/2 years in prison, according to a Department of Justice press release from U.S. Attorney David C. Weiss, District of Delaware.
In the summer and fall of 2016, Branch and Kolmonen combined to rob stores 20 times, almost always as a team. One store, a Walgreens in Boothwyn, Pa., was robbed twice.
In almost every robbery, Branch entered the store, showed a gun, and demanded money from the register. The two men victimized 30 people, most of whom were teenagers or the elderly. The victims were as young as 17 and as old as 76 years old.
They robbed:
1. BP, 2360 Pulaski Highway, New Castle,
2. Walgreens, 4114 Ogletown-Stanton Road, Newark,
3. Walgreens, 1500 Beaverbrook Plaza, New Castle,
4. Walgreens, 2608 Naamans Creek Road, Boothwyn, Pa.,
5. Walgreens, 19 Marrows Road, Newark,
6. Rite Aid, 738 Pulaski Highway, Elkton, Md.,
7. Walgreens, 2719 Pulaski Highway, Newark,
8. Walgreens, 372 Possum Park Road, Newark,
9. CVS, 366 East Chestnut Hill Road, Newark,
10. CVS, 1545 Pulaski Highway, Bear,
11. Dunkirk Liquors, 2 Dunlinden Drive, Wilmington,
12. Walgreens, 1508 Philadelphia Pike, Wilmington,
13. Walgreens, 1120 Pulaski Highway, Bear,
14. Walgreens, 2608 Naamans Creek Road, Boothwyn, Pa.,
15. Walgreens, 301 East Pulaski Highway, Elkton, Md.,
16. Rite Aid, 501 East Basin Road, New Castle,
17. Papa John's, 529 East Basin Road, New Castle,
18. Rite Aid, 4607 Stanton-Ogletown Road, Newark,
19. CVS, 366 East Chestnut Hill Road, Newark,
20. Valero Shore Stop, 796 N. Old Baltimore Pike, New Castle.
In sentencing the defendants, Chief Judge Stark stated that the defendants engaged in a "reign of terror for several months and both defendants had equal roles in it."
U.S. Attorney Weiss said the robberies were particularly brazen.
"The defendants robbed stores in broad daylight and their victims were often the most vulnerable among us—employees whose only crime was trying to make a living," said Weiss. "This case was cracked because of the outstanding work of the Delaware State Police and the FBI Baltimore, Wilmington Office. They, like our office, are dedicated to rooting out violent crime and catching anyone who threatens our communities."
Col. Nathaniel McQueen Jr., Superintendent of the Delaware State Police, said, "The sentencing hearings were centered around the victims, and the lasting effect that these violent crimes had and will continue to have on their lives going forward. The investigation, arrest and successful prosecution of these individuals was a direct result of our continued partnerships with federal, state, and local jurisdictions in Delaware, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. There is no doubt that the open communication and coordination of resources throughout these agencies prevented others from being victimized."
Gordon B. Johnson, Special Agent in Charge of the Baltimore FBI said the investigation of serial armed robbers requires close collaboration between the FBI and local and state law enforcement partners.
"I am extremely proud of the collaborative effort put forth in order to ensure these defendant were brought to justice and will no longer be able to terrorize or threaten the hardworking citizens and businesses," said Johnson. "The citizens of Delaware have the FBI's commitment that we will work with our local, state and federal partners to remove violent criminals from their neighborhoods."
This case was investigated by the FBI Baltimore, Wilmington Office; the Delaware State Police, Upper Darby (Pa.) Police Department and Elkton (Md.) Police Department.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexander S. Mackler prosecuted the case.

There are many facets of human behavior. Some of them can cause tears of joy and a fuzzy little warm feeling in the heart. Others can cause extreme boredom and annoyance. Human behavior is something of a spectrum in that respect, and nearly everyone is capable of the full range; they can be inspiring at times and annoying at others.
You are likely to display some or all of the behaviors mentioned below, just like everyone else. This isn't as bad as it first sounds; nearly everyone does, so you don't have to feel guilty. It is simply helpful to identify undesirable traits and to remove them gradually. Working on your bad sides is a big part of transforming yourself, and becoming a better person.
Here are five toxic behaviors that bore and annoy people:
Incessant Moaning
Everyone likes a moan. It is good for you from time to time; to let off a bit of steam, or express a particularly strong opinion about something. A well timed moan is often funny, but constant moaning is nothing short of irritating, and it drags everybody else down. It is not too fun to be around someone who moans all of the time, because any experience with them quickly becomes a negative one: it is either too cold, or too hot, or too medium; there is simply no winning.
If you find yourself in the middle of a rant, and moreover if you often find yourself in the middle of a rant, then take a breath or two, and take a step back from the situation. Accept that you went on a negative moan. That is okay, but now you must return to a relatable state, or even better find something positive to say.
Always Talking But Never Listening
You might think that you are the most interesting person in the conversation/room/world, but that does not mean that everyone else does. Conversation is a dynamic that involves the role of a speaker and a listener, who share time and ideas with each other. Some people do not understand this premise, and feel that they should take centre stage all of the time, disregarding the thoughts, feelings, and input of others.
There is nothing more annoying than this behavior because it is impossible to engage with someone who never listens. All you can do is nod and smile, knowing all of the time that the conversation is futile and pointless. If you want to be an interesting, engaging, and enjoyable person to interact with you would do well learning to balance your talking skills with some wholehearted listening.
People who brag are often guilty of talking too much aswell, but the two are separate and equally annoying behaviors. It is okay to blow your own trumpet if you a) own a trumpet, and b) are capable of playing it. Still it is much better to be humble, and to let your talent and personality speak for itself. Bragging and boasting, and always having one better story to tell is not attractive. It is boring and it detracts from any real talent that you do maintain.
Selfishness comes in many different forms. Maybe you always take the biggest piece of cake for yourself (physically or metaphorically), maybe you are guilty of being self-centered; of being overly concerned for yourself and never concerned for others. This is not a great trait for friendship, and is surely something that would annoy anyone who attempted to get close to you. Relationships are give and take, and the more you can learn to share and be compassionate, the more you will be capable of love.
The final boring and annoying behavior to avoid is being untrustworthy. Stealing and other serious forms of backstabbing are beyond annoying, and step into the realms of criminal. Less extreme examples include cheating, lying, or stirring the pot and causing problems between people. Leave it out! Trust is the foundation for all relationships, professional, friendly, and intimate.

We are experiencing an unusual winter-like cold front which so far has brought snow, rain, sleet and hail with sun breaks in between! This is extremely worrisome for the fruit farmers of the Columbia River Gorge. At stake are budding and blooming trees which normally would bring a harvest of 300 tons of cherries, apples and pears worth $110 million.

When they see you approaching, they scamper toward you and wait, and will even take a peanut right from your hand. Sorry to disappoint this little cutie; I will remember to fill my pockets next time.

Star Trees
Five giant Sequoias were planted in 1942 to honor Willamette University's 100th anniversary. They are referred to as the "Star Trees", as they were planted symmetrically, so that their tops form a five-point star framing the sky. They are reported to be the tallest trees on any U.S. university campus. The Star Trees are located north of Willamette University's Waller Hall along State Street (across from the Capitol).

Flipping Houses?
Not sure if this house is being converting to a 2-story, or just getting a new foundation. I love how the front porch is still attached! Found this in an older neighborhood along Ferry Street near 20th I think. Homes in this neighborhood were built in the early 1900's. It is good to see them restored.

City Daily Photo Theme Day--"Water"
The mill race as it flows through the grounds of the Mission Mill Museum.
According to the Salem Public Library, Oregon Historic Photograph Collections, this race has quite a history. It was created by the early pioneers to divert water from Mill Creek for use by local industries. In the 1870's it provided water for the Pioneer Oil Company at this site. When the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill was built here (which still stands is open for tours), it powered the gears and belts which ran the entire mill operation. Continuing through the Willamette University campus, it powered a city generating station at Liberty & Trade Streets, and a lumber mill which stood where it emptied into the Willamette River.
More then 170 members of City Daily Photo have joined in this month for theme day -- water! Please enjoy a visit to a few cities that interest you.

Typing that heading gave me a bit of a start! 2012? Is it really going to be the 2011-2012 school year? It just seems like the other day I was getting used to writing '00' instead of '99'! Anyway, I digress...
I decided to link up with Growing Kinders to share my daily schedule. This really got me thinking about my schedule and if it works for the kids. I decided it did not. Click below to see my changes and why.

Its been a while since my last post, mainly because I have painters block!
I have done nothing since before going on holiday, even going to Targe 2010 in Kirriemuir did not fire up the juices, so here is a figure I painted a couple of years back to fill in the gap.
The figure is an Ogre Musician from Rackham models, a multipart 28mm, nearer 32mm figure.
So back to the painters block that I have, Im sure everyone gets it? Anyhow I just need a new project to fire me up, so if anyone knows of some nice figures out there that I have not seen, then please let me know?
As you can see from my Blog I paint most subjects, sometimes a change is as good as rest, so any subject matter would be considered.
Thanks for looking.
