1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to carrying cases for darts and the like, and more particularly, to an improved dart carrying case including a one piece molded body and a snap on, pivotable closure.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Numerous types of carrying cases have heretofore been provided for carrying a trio of feathered darts. Such cases have included a simple box device having spacers or webs for securing the darts in place, carved wooden holders having separate compartments for containing the respective darts, and molded plastic devices including shank and point receiving bores and feather receiving slots. Most such cases have, however, suffered from the disadvantage that they are either too expensive to manufacture because of their complexity, they are clumsy to carry because of their shape, or because they do not provide adequate protection for the component parts of the dart.
It is therefore an objective of the present invention to provide a novel dart carrying case including a molded body which is compact and easy to carry and includes means for containing the darts within the case.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a dart carrying case which is ruggedly constructed and provides good protection for the point and feathers of the dart.
Briefly, the preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a molded unitary body which is of a width, thickness and length adequate to surround internal chambers which envelope and protect a trio of darts, but is still small enough to be easily carried. The lower portion of the body is tapered to reduce the mass and the external size of the device and the upper portion includes a pivotable flip-top closure which covers the containing openings to prevent the darts from being accidentally dislodged therefrom.
A principal advantage of the present invention is that it is comprised of only two readily molded components which interfit to provide a sturdy closable container which provides good protection for the components of darts to be carried therein.
Another advantage of the present invention is that because of its small streamlined configuration, it may be easily carried in the pocket of one's clothing.
These and other advantages of the present invention will no doubt become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art after having read the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment illustrated in the several figures in the drawing.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a dart carrying case in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the top of the carrying case illustrated in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a partial front elevation showing the upper portion of the carrying case illustrated in FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a partial side elevation showing the upper portion of the carrying case illustrated in FIG. 1; and
FIG. 5 is a cross-section taken along the line 5--5 of FIG. 1.
Referring now to the drawing, a carrying case in accordance with the present invention is illustrated in perspective in FIG. 1 and includes a body 10 and a flip-top closure 12 pivotally engaged to the top portion of body 10. Body 10 is a unitary molded member including an upper portion 14 which is generally rectangular in cross-section as indicated in the top view shown in FIG. 2, and a bottom portion 16 having side surfaces 15 and 17 which are tapered approximately 3° relative to upper side surfaces 11 and 13, and front and rear surfaces 19 and 21 which are tapered approximately 5° relative to the corresponding upper portion surfaces. All of the exterior corners of the preferred embodiment are rounded as illustrated.
Extending through the top surface 18 and along the longitudinal length of body 10 are three 1/2-inch diameter bores 20 which, as illustrated in FIG. 5, are cylindrical over the major portion of their length, and then terminate in the lower portion of body 10 in a conical taper as indicated at 22. The circumferential edges of bores 20 are beveled as indicated at 23. In addition, three pairs of diagonal slots 24 and 26 extend through upper portion 14, respectively intersecting along the center lines of bores 20. As illustrated in FIG. 5, the bores 20 provide chambers for receiving the body and point members of darts shown by the dashed lines 30. Slots 24 and 26 receive the dart feathers.
Vertically-elongated slots 32 are formed along the center line of the side walls 11 and 13 near the top thereof and terminate at each end in dimpled recesses 34 and 36 which are slightly deeper than slot 32 and are spaced apart a predetermined distance. The positioning of slot 32 relative to top surface 18 is determined by the length of the side legs of closure 12 and the thickness of body portion 14 between the front and rear faces.
Closure 12 is comprised of a unitary molded member including a generally flat cover portion 38 having a somewhat rounded upper surface, and a pair of triangular-shaped portions or side members 40 having rounded tabs 42 formed proximate the side member apices and extending inwardly toward each other as illustrated in FIG. 3. When tabs 42 are mated with recesses 36 the lower surface of cover portion 38 will be in close proximity to top surface 18, thereby providing a cover or closure for the dart receiving bores 20. Recess 34 is spaced above recess 36 a distance such that when tabs 42 are mated therewith the cover portion 38 may be rotated from a position parallel to the front face of body 10 to a position parallel the rear face thereof. It should be noted that alternatively, the pivot tabs could be formed on the sides of body 10 and the slots and recesses could be provided on the inside faces of closure side members 40.
With closure 12 in the position indicated by the solid lines in FIG. 4, the dart receiving chambers 20 will be open and ready to receive darts, and may then be closed by rotation into the position illustrated by the dashed lines A and the application of a vertical force F1 which causes tabs 42 to cam out of the recesses 34 and move along slot 32 into the closed position indicated by the dashed lines B. Since in this position tabs 42 engage the recesses 36, and the proximity to surface 18 prevents rotation, closure 12 will be locked in this closed position.
In order to return closure 12 to the open position, a lateral force F2 is applied to cover portion 38 causing the lower surface thereof to cam over the rounded edge of top 18. Since the radial distance from recess 36 to the edge of top 18 exceeds the distance to the center of top 18, the camming action over the rounded edge causes a lifting force to be applied to the side portions 40 which causes tabs 42 to be pulled from recesses 36 and to track upwardly along slot 32 and into engagement with recesses 34.
The above-described carrying case has the advantage that it is compact in external dimensions, includes feather receiving and protecting slots that will accommodate various-sized feathers. Since the slots are open to the faces of body 10, they may be easily cleaned and kept free from feather-damaging obstructions. Furthermore, the case includes a simple but highly effective lockable enclosure for preventing carried darts from being accidentally discharged from the carrying chambers. The external configuration illustrated includes troughed depressions 50 and 52 and could be further modified to reduce the body mass or to have a different decorative configuration.
The illustrated configuration has been found to be suitable because it readily lends itself to manufacture using injection molding techniques. The entire body configuration can be molded in a one-step mold with the only finish machining required being the provision of slots 32 and recesses 34 and 36 which could be provided by a simple milling jig. Alternatively, of course, these features could be provided in the mold but would require the removal of the forming protuberances before the body could be ejected from the mold. The flip-top closure 12 can also be easily molded. And since closure 12 is somewhat flexible, the side members 40 can be mated with body 10 by simply spreading the side members and positioning tabs 42 in alignment with slot 32.
Although a single preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described, it is to be appreciated that other alterations and modifications of the present invention will no doubt become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art after having read the above disclosure. Accordingly, it is intended that the appended claims be interpreted to cover all such alterations and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

Coming from Australia on our first trip to London we expected larger rooms, but found out that most rooms in London are small. However the staff were friendly, breakfast included was good and rooms although small were clean. Location was good only 200 metres from Paddington train station. Only downside was no elevator. Will stay again.

When my husband and I found out we were expecting a baby this past August, we were over the moon. Like any parents-to-be, we immediately started planning and daydreaming about the future. In this huge, complicated world, who will this little human being be? The only thing we know for sure is this: she'll be whoever and whatever she chooses, and unexpectedly, the gender-neutral kids' clothing trend makes us more hopeful for the future than anything else.
Ideas about gender identity are shifting. With each passing day, it seems that more and more people are recognizing and accepting that gender identity may not be such a black and white concept. In communities everywhere, people are having long overdue conversations that the preconceived ideas of what it means to be male and what it means to be female can be restrictive and, quite often, even harmful. As this societal perception of gender begins to evolve, industries are changing right along with them, and the trend of gender-neutral clothing is a tangible sign of that.
As a high schooler, I worked part-time at a local shoe store in my small town. We had a massive section of children's shoes, and my co-workers always (graciously) let me handle the kids that came into the store – they were my favorite customers. Almost daily, I'd watch kids toddle over to the display and grab whatever shoe caught their eye. Repeatedly, I'd listen as parents critiqued their child's choice: "Pink? That's for girls. How about blue or black?" or "No, blue's a boy color. What about this pretty purple?" Though I knew the parents weren't intending to be malicious, it always made me sad. Seriously? Their child is restricted to one or two "permissible" hues, simply because of their genitalia? There are so many appealing colors, and childhood especially should be the time to enjoy them unabashedly.
The entire point of gender-neutral clothing is to do away with the idea that your sex dictates what you can and can't wear. Recently, Celine Dion received some attention for her own gender-neutral children's line CELINUNUNU, a collaboration with the brand NUNUNU. Tali Milchberg, one of brand's founders, explained to People, "We have nothing against blue and pink — nothing. We’re just saying to be open-minded. We want to give an alternative to kids of the future." And it's not just fresh brands like NUNUNU and Bass & Sass who are recognizing that there's a market for for neutral clothes. Even big-name brands and retailers like Carter's and Target have the option to actually filter out all the neutral or unisex clothing options on their sites.
My mom loves to tell me about what a monster I was when I was a child. To say I was "particular" was an understatement. I shrieked if my parents tried to dress me in pants – I wanted pink dresses, frilly socks, and ribbons in my hair at all times, regardless of the weather outside. I looked like a "girly girl" through and through, but here's the thing: I chose that. I had developed my preferences, and a loud, demanding voice to match, and my parents gave me the freedom to dress how I pleased. This freedom is exactly what the gender-neutral clothing movement is advocating for. Fortunately for me, there was no shortage of pink dresses to choose from... but what if I had been wailing for gender-neutral rompers and t-shirts? My options would have been scarce.
There seems to be a common misconception that gender-neutral clothing is all about rejecting "traditional" clothing, or criticizing any parent that dresses their child in stereotypical hues. On the contrary, these newfangled brands don't aim to vilify parents (and children) who select the conventional colors or styles. Instead, these companies hope to offer variety and choices for the children who just don't feel like themselves in those long-established palettes.
Without fail, the term "gender-neutral" can cause immediate eye rolls and exasperated sighs from parents who don't believe clothing color really matters. It's understandable – it's a superficial thing to be concerned about, right? Well, not really. Gender-specific clothing is often one of the first ways kids are exposed to gender expectations and norms: little girls are princesses and angels, while little boys are troublemakers and heartbreakers. Girls are feminine and dainty in pastel hues, while boys are tough and adventurous in bold primary tones. These early introductions to stereotypes lay the groundwork for what children expect of themselves – in fact, research in the Journal of Early Childhood Research shows that by age four and five, preschoolers are showing sex-typing in their career aspirations. In other words, young children are already gunning for jobs that are deemed "for women" or "for men."
Additionally, the benefits of allowing your child to express themselves through their clothing choices are plentiful. Children don't have many choices. They can't choose where to live, where to go to school, or even how to spend their time. When parents give their children "inconsequential" choices, like what color or style of clothing to wear, they're letting their child experience a little bit of autonomy and independence. Occupational therapist Dr. Allie Ticktin explained the benefits of giving children choices in an article for Motherly. "A child's choice has as much value as an adult's, and we want to make sure that our children know that we recognize that and acknowledge the value that they add to the family," explained Dr. Ticktin. "Recognizing their small choices is an easy way to empower our children and acknowledge their worth." What could be a more invaluable early childhood lesson than that?
Gender-identity is a complicated subject, but gender-neutral clothing is one trend that tells me we're on the right path. Regardless of whether your little one dons pinks, blues, or neutrals; whether they choose bows, monster trucks, glitter, monsters or a lovely hodgepodge of all of the above, one thing is certain: letting them decide for themselves is a beautiful thing.

Amid a late controversial call at first base and a near-rally from an eight-run deficit, Maryland baseball fell to Connecticut 11-8 in the College Park Regional championship game Monday night.
How the hell do you call the runner out? pic.twitter.com/vnUYPB70LT
— CJ Fogler AKA Perc70 #BlackLivesMatter (@cjzero) June 7, 2022
No. 15 overall seed Maryland opened with a Luke Shliger leadoff home run to take an early lead but Matt Donlan capped a six-run bottom of the first inning with a grand slam that gave UConn (49-14), the region’s third seed behind the Terrapins and Wake Forest, early control after Maryland (48-14) forced Monday’s game by beating the Huskies 7-6 in 11 innings on Sunday.
All the first-inning damage to Maryland and starter Andrew Johnson (2-1) occurred with the bases empty and two outs. Johnson lost the strike zone, walking four straight batters to force in the first run. Sean Heine replaced Johnson and hit T.C. Simmons with his first pitch to plate another run. Donlan followed with his slam to right-center field on a 0-2 count.
The Huskies led 9-1 after four innings, but Troy Schreffler and Kevin Keister had RBI singles in a four-run fifth as Maryland took advantage of an error by Huskies’ right fielder Casey Dana to score three unearned runs and pull within 9-5.
Chris Alleyne hit a two-run homer in the seventh and Keister added a RBI double in the eighth for the Terps, pulling them within two runs until a momentum-changing play at first base.
On a bloop infield single, Alleyne collided with UConn first baseman Ben Huber after the throw to the base was dropped. Alleyne was called out, negating a run that would have cut the deficit to one run with only one out and a potential tying run on base.
Alleyne ran straight down the baseline. He collided with the UConn first baseman, who was in fair territory. But there was nowhere for him to go. Would have been the tying run aboard with 1 out in the 8th AND they put the runner back at 3rd base. Awful call.
— Noah Frank (@NoahAFrank) June 7, 2022
A Bryan Padilla RBI single in the bottom of the eighth would cap the scoring as UConn closer Justin Willis pitched two perfect innings for his 15th save, striking out a pair.
Connecticut advances to the Super Regional for the first time since 2011.

Manufacturing Industry – Data Marketing Solutions
There will be a lot of challenges faced during the marketing of manufacturing firms. Several challenges like attracting the efficient and skilled labor, training them to work in the companies. Meeting the tasks like economic fluctuations, shortage of skilled labors, market governances and other complexities that manufacturers face on daily basis. It has become extremely difficult to run this process smoothly. Hence, everyone related to that particular company needs an automated organizational process.
While the industry is trying to achieve flexibility in their business and strengthen their business, it is important to know the customers, employees, partners and vendors outlook. The manufacturing industry should also have the clear vision of the firm and their targets. They should be aware of customer-centric outlook towards their industry. They need to also concentrate on the cost- effective method and increasing profitability within a particular period of time.
Manufacturing industries have constant pressure to produce the high quality products time to time. So it is important to create an atmosphere of efficient marketing and handling the database problems.
This will help the company by meeting the customers' needs and a sense of satisfaction. It becomes easier to manage the customer's unprecedented control over the particular market. It is also useful for tackling the competition which will be created by highly tech and internet savvy customers. So the way of reducing all the barriers of the industry is to expose to the global markets and implementing the marketing techniques. This is how it gets easier to enable the effective coordination between the different partners or team which will be included in the marketing and sales team. It becomes easier in regaining the lost revenue if any.
The marketing technique is to bridge the gap between the customers and manufacturers which will help in the reduction of wastage of production, or reduce the production costs, and also improve the production of the business.

Jennifer Lopez Shows Off The Twins
Jennifer Lopez has given the world a look at her baby twins, Max and Emme, by posing for a photo shoot with People magazine. The pop star gave birth to her babies with husband, Marc Anthony, in Long Island, NY on February 22nd and it was about damn time, since she didn’t look to be slowing down her red carpet appearances any. I seriously thought she was going to have a microphone in her face when her water broke.
Also, does anyone else remember these shoes? Insane.

A widely-accepted aphorism is that gaming and porn started the microcomputer industry–both of them entertainment, and both have their addicting qualities for some. While there’s no real porn at CeBIT (unless you like multi-directional GIS displays), gaming is very real, and very well represented. There’s an entire building dedicated to gaming, gaming technology, gaming competition, and these components can also be found at a healthy fraction of other buildings nearby the gaming center that contain interesting high-performance (read gaming) machines and peripherals.
Gaming ‘winners’ believe that every possible edge counts, and they’re not superstitious. Instead, they are very loyal to one brand or configuration of equipment until they lose. Then there’s the great hunt for the next state-of-the-art machine, with all the advantages that they believe will help them win again. Others are constantly hunting, weighing seemingly tiny, even miniscule advantages in esoteric combinations. And they’re willing to put their money where their winning bet is in terms of tremendously expensive personal gaming components.
This fact isn’t lost on a small, but very healthy vendor component segment that caters to the needs of the must-be-fastest contingent. And while that contingent is often profiled as a younger crowed, it’s not necessarily so. If there’s one place where a true geek can practice his/her art, the DIY machine builder community has all of the components needed to one-up everyone else if in non-trivial integration exercises.
Some of the motherboard makers are living (and perhaps dying) by their ability to be overclocked–the act of changing the CPU clock to make it work harder and react faster. It’s risky, of course to do this as it causes heat rises that the CPU maker didn’t design or intend the CPU to go through. Heat can literally crack CPUs, but long before that, they crumble into death.
Corsair, uber-fast memory makers, also contribute to the architectural contest. Imagine those DIMM modules you’re using for memory right now. Imagine them re-engineered in highly-complex (yet slim) heat sink modules, specifically designed to assuage the incredible heat that overclocking can cook up. Corsair specializes in this area, and ostensibly has a huge market share in this segment (high-performance personal systems) that make companies like Kingston and others positively salivate.
But it’s the motherboard design that’s a key underpinning of the overclocker’s paradise. I visited the Gigabyte booth, and trolled their delicious looking motherboards (yes, they’re painted and gimmicked-up to look ‘sexy’) replete with optional water-chillers, and other methods of killing heat, before heat kills the motherboards, or ‘mobos’ as they’re known as by overclockers.
None of them, however, had the guts of Foxconn, who brought tanks of LOx to chill their mobos . I’m not putting a tank in back of my house. I’m sure there’s a zoning restriction, somehow.

“Pakinggan nyo naman po si Ninong Lirio!” – docgelo & nurse tina.
I only get to read broadsheets – Manila Bulletin, Philippine Star and sometimes Philippine Daily Inquirer once a week. It’s a part of my Sunday morning habit while enjoying a cup of coffee. And today’s news included an entire page of an open letter address to the president of the country. Such appeals are no longer new, I pass on them often, but this one. It caught my attention because the person who wrote the letter was a second-degree relative who also stood as one of our sponsors in our wedding.
Mr. Lirio P. Sandoval, the President of BDAP/ Book Development Association of the Philippines, is appealing with his colleagues to greatest local authority 0f the land and her other loyal officials for almost a month now, in order to veto help them withdraw the imposition of tax to imported books as directed by Department of Finance for this will surely diminish the interests of the reading public.
This Sunday’s paper open letter to PGMA, “an appeal to withdraw the Department of Finance Department Order 17-09 which imposes duty on the importation of books. Mr. Sandoval and his colleagues believe that the Order violates two distinguished prevailing acts : an international treaty -the Florence Agreement, and R.A. 8047 or the Book Publishing Industry Development Act.”
And I quote “The Florence Agreement, of which the Philippines is a signatory since 1952, has for its main objective the free flow of information among contracting states. The Florence Agreement Guide also expressly states that “Under the Agreement, books, newspapers, periodicals, and many other categories of printed matter are GUARANTEE DUTY-FREE ENTRY”.
Here I’m posting an earlier letter of Mr. Sandoval with the same appeal sourced from (CLICK) HERE.
BDAP Letter to Secretary of Justice
April 30, 2009
HONORABLE RAUL M. GONZALEZ
Department of Justice
Padre Faura St., Manila
Dear Secretary Gonzalez:
The book reading public in the country is suddenly jolted when the Department of Finance (DOF) imposed duty on the importation of books through Department Order No. 17-09: Guidelines of Duty-Free Importation of Books, issued on 24 March 2009 by Secretary Margarito B. Teves, published on 12 April 2009 at the Phil. Daily Inquirer and is now being implemented.
We earnestly seek your opinion on said Guidelines because they run counter to Sec. 12 of RA 8047, which provides that “In case of tax and duty-free importation of books or raw materials to be used in book publishing, the Board and its duly authorized representatives shall strictly monitor the quality and volume of imported books and material as well as their distribution and the utilization of the said imported materials.”
It is interesting to note that RA 8047 or the Book Publishing Industry Development Act of 1995 was co-authored by Secretary Teves when he was a member of the House of Representatives.
Your immediate rendering of opinion on this matter will greatly benefit our reading public and the book industry.
Please find attached a copy of the DOF Guidelines and the position paper of the Book Development Association of the Philippines.
LIRIO P. SANDOVAL
I know little of laws, and it’s not an excuse. What I only understand of the situation is whenever imported books will be withhold in customs for failing to pay newly imposed taxes, the common readers will be are robbed of the opportunity of greater knowledge acquisition. The appeal was only for CONTINUED DUTY-FREE IMPORTATION OF BOOKS. end of story.
BUT- Why impose taxes on imported books?
Is it the most intelligent way of recovering “lost” revenues ? Huh ?
Enlighten me please, Madame/Sir.

I miss Saint, my Rabbit.
She’s the first one who ever survived in my arms. It was her 2nd month a few days ago. From the moment she came to my life, It has never been the same. I’ve been constantly thinking of her, worrying about her health, saving money for her needs.I left her in my house in batangas, my brother’s currently talking care of her while I’m gone.
I miss my fourth year classmates, 4-Accountability.
The best class ever. I was never afraid to show them what I really am. It’s hard for me to explain why I miss them in a few sentences but I’m pretty sure they understand the message completely. I miss those moments we all had, just having fun and taking life just like a roller coaster. We all had our ups and downs, it was clear to us that we weren’t the favorite among the batch. I love them all.
I miss my passion for Visual Arts.
Lately, I caught myself staring at a blank sheet of paper, knowing nothing of what to draw. Probably I am not inspired or moved. It’s been a long time since I last held a brush, getting my self dirty with acrylic paint and shopping for new stuff. Art block.
I miss my old clique/barkada/group/whathaveyou
Everyone’s gone with their lives.
Most of all.
I miss you, whoever is reading this.
Yes, you. It’s been awhile. We’re all doing crazty stunts these days, we forget to give a call on each other. It would be nice if we could meet up again. You know, just a coffee break. I know you’re busy (and I’m not cause I’m rotting here in the house.) But perhaps a little quality time would do, Yes?

On Thursday, for the first time in over 50 years, an American spacecraft successfully touched down on the moon.
Known as Odysseus, the craft from Texas-based Intuitive Machines made it to the surface after some unexpected challenges during its approach. As reported earlier this week by The Dallas Express, the last time an American mission made it to the moon was in 1972.
Odysseus officially touched down in the south polar region at 5:23 p.m. CT. After a brief silence, flight controllers eventually obtained a faint signal from the spacecraft. Soon after, Tim Crain, the chief technology officer at Intuitive Machines, confirmed the milestone achievement.
“What we can confirm, without a doubt, is our equipment is on the surface of the moon and we are transmitting. So congratulations,” said Crain, according to The New York Times.
“I know this was a nail-biter, but we are on the surface, and we are transmitting. … Welcome to the moon,” said CEO Steve Altemus on a live webcast.
While confirmation of a signal from the craft was confirmed relatively quickly, it took two hours before mission control could confirm the spacecraft landed safely and could transmit data.
At 8:18 a.m. CT on Friday, Intuitive Machines said the craft was “alive and well.”
“Flight controllers are communicating and commanding the vehicle to download science data. The lander has good telemetry and solar charging… We continue to learn more about the vehicle’s specific information (Lat/Lon), overall health, and attitude (orientation),” reads the company’s post on the social media platform X.
Ahead of the lunar landing, Odysseus traveled a dizzying 620,370 miles in one week. As part of its mission, it is carrying several science instruments for NASA under a contract valued at up to $118 million in taxpayer money.
Odysseus is expected to remain on the moon for up to seven days. After that point, the landing site will become too cold to operate the spacecraft as the region descends into lunar night.

In a year when so many things are being cancelled, those that can carry on shine like a bright light.
Or, in some cases, like a bright sunflower.
The Chilliwack Sunflower Festival will move ahead, albeit with COVID-19 distancing and health and safety measures in place. The field’s capacity will be limited to 25 per cent, and there will be no playground, picnics or lawn games this year.
Like other places that have remained open, there will be directional, wide pathways to follow, and hand sanitization stations placed strategically.
And while the weather over the next few weeks will dictate when the flowers are blooming, Tulips of the Valley owner Kate Onos-Gilbert says they are hoping for mid-August.
The Chilliwack Sunflower Festival features 25 different varieties of sunflowers, and more than 50 varieties of dahlias. This year, there are also gladiodas to enjoy. There are three kilometres of pathways throughout the fields.
In addition to the breathtaking flower fields, guests can expect freshly cut flowers and local Chilliwack corn for sale. Cool off with an individually wrapped frozen treat or enjoy a delicious meal to-go from a food truck in the parking lot.
“This summer, everyone is looking for ways to have fun while staying local and staying safe,” says Onos-Gilbert. “I hope everyone in the region who enjoyed the Chilliwack Sunflower Festival in years past — and those who haven’t had the opportunity before — will come and spend some time among the flowers. It’s the perfect way to relax in nature.”
Tickets go on sale Aug. 7. Watch Tulips of the Valley’s social media pages for updates on opening day and times. The site is located at 41310 Yale Road (off Royalwood Drive).

A commission empaneled by the New York City Council has put forward a plan to expand LaGuardia Airport onto Rikers Island.
The proposal, one of two options put forward over the weekend by New York's Independent Commission on New York City Criminal Justice and Incarceration Reform, came on the heels of Mayor Bill de Blasio's announcement last week that he will move to close the Rikers Island jails within 10 years.
The 413-acre island sits in the East River, practically shouting distance from LaGuardia. As such, the commission said, it could serve as the location of a much-needed third runway for LaGuardia as well as an additional terminal.
The new runway, the report says, could expand flight capacity at LaGuardia by 40%, while the terminal could accommodate 12 million passengers annually. The project would require the construction of overwater taxiways and would cost an estimated $9 billion.
Last year, LaGuardia served 30 million passengers, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The airport, which is tightly constrained for space, is in the early stages of an $8 billion rebuild.
The commission recognized that even with a third runway and an extra terminal, service expansion at LaGuardia would still be challenged by New York's crowded airspace. But they noted that planned technical improvements to the U.S. air traffic control system could improve the use of air space and allow for more traffic.
The commission also presented a second proposal for Rikers' future. Under that concept, the island would be used as a center for clean energy and infrastructure facilities in New York City.

Barefoot in fields with hooved friends is the best way to spend Summer days.
I don’t even know where Summer has escaped to. One minute we were celebrating the Full Moon at the end of June, blink, and July’s Full Moon has also passed us by. This Summer is flying, and I wish I could find the pause button and slow – it – down.
Mother Nature tested us this month, barraging us with rainstorm after rainstorm. We received the most horrid night of hail, waking both Dan and I in the middle of the night with thoughts that the roof might just collapse in on us. Marble sized hail fell from the sky for almost a half hour. It wasn’t until the light of the next morning arrived that the actual damages were visible. Flower beds were flattened, vegetables were shredded and even our vehicles felt the force of Nature, pock marks in the hood evidence. We were devastated. All of our hard work and planning seemed to be destroyed over night.
Thankfully as harsh as Mother Nature can be, she is also forgiving. While my flower beds are definitely a little sad looking compared to the full beauty they were sporting, they have for the most part bounced back. Flowers are blooming, bees are busy, the only tell tale sign is my poor shredded hostas who won’t be bouncing back this season. In the vegetable garden our plants prevailed, and we have a harvest to boast about. Our carrot tops stand tall once more, and we have had several little meals of baby carrots straight from the garden. Our broccoli florets flowered for the first time this year. Beans are growing in bunches on our plants and little baby zucchinis are growing right beside them. Squash and pumpkin plants are flowering, little heads of lettuce are trying to grow big and we’ve definitely got a bountiful harvest of potatoes hiding under the soil. I think sometimes our patience needs to be tested so that we fully appreciate what we are blessed with.
Our other big concern with the storms, was our bee hives. We had previously started using a ratchet strap to hold down the hives and lids, as we’d had some windy days filled with anxiety. Thank goodness for security, our hives greeted us the next morning untouched and unharmed! The only thing that didn’t fair well was my beautiful circle garden of wildflowers. While the clover lay flattened, my sunflowers still stood tall and I am holding out hope for some beautiful blooms!
Our journey this Summer with bees has definitely been a learning experience. We’ve had our ups and downs, our moments when we don’t even know whats going on, and our moments of “ah-ha”. We’ve seen first hand the signs of a hive that’s queenless, as we do believe we lost a queen last month. As we watched, waited and hoped for the bees to straighten it out themselves, we also witnessed what happens when your hive absconds. As we watched the numbers dwindle in the hive, we came home one day to find one of our apple trees out in the orchard alive with a swarm of bees. We suited up that evening, took an empty brood box over, and captured the swarm. We added the swarm box back to the original dwindling hive, separating the two with a sheet of newspaper so that the pheromones from the queen would attract the other bees and they would eventually chew through the paper and join. We aren’t sure that this worked, that the hives joined, and that they perhaps didn’t swarm again, but the population was up once again in this hive. After watching for a couple of weeks for the “egg of the day” and not seeing any, we knew we needed to take action again. We removed a frame full of uncapped brood from our good hive and added it into the struggling hive. This was in a hopes that the struggling hive would use this brood to create a queen and still keep up the population.
When we completed our hive check just last night, our struggling hive has brood to be seen in the frames. We are hopeful that this has saved the hive and that they’ve got themselves a new queen to carry them through the winter months. While we may not get any honey this year as we let our hives develop and figure themselves out, we’ve learned so much and look forward to the months ahead in this journey. I think it’s safe to start calling ourselves beekeepers now!
Everyone else here on the farm seems un-phased by any inclement weather that may have passed us by. The donkey boys are loving life out on pasture, and they are learning to share better and better with the alpaca gentlemen. You can always spot the pairs out in the field grazing, sometimes even all four together. They love to wander into the woods on a hot day for shade and the alpaca love a good soak down with the hose! While they are still quite shy, the alpacas have come so far in the two months they’ve been with us here on the farm. We love having them around. My favourite thing is watching them run through the fields, loping along, they are so majestic!
With the summertime wild flowers in the yard being in full bloom, that also meant it was time for my annual photo-shoot with the donkey boys and their floral crowns. I do believe I need a little Jenny for this job, as the boys just want to indulge in a tasty treat. I feel like a Jenny would appreciate my artistic endeavors a little more.
The three little pigs love the long summer days in the sun. They have rooted up so much of the back area we extended in their pen. It’s the perfect spot with boggy soil and mud puddles for cool downs. There is plenty of shade among the trees too, but they can often be found out sunbathing in the dusty dirt. Tui has been surprising me lately with his affection, and it makes my heart burst with joy. During evening feeds I sit down on the front porch of the Pig Haus’ and watch as everyone squabbles over bowls. Once Tui finishes bossing everyone around and gets his fair share of dinner, he wanders over for a scratch. He places his little pig snout on my knee and enjoys the scratches behind the ear and belly rubs. I never knew this little pig would be so affectionate!
Of course we can’t forget about the lovely ladies in the coop, who despite the rain, have used any days of excessive heat as an excuse to go broody. As long as I still get some eggs during chores each evening, I’ll let it slide for now. Hot, hot days call for cool treats in the coop and the ladies have been enjoying tasty treats of frozen watermelon. On weekend mornings I’ve been taking my coffee with me outside to enjoy some quiet time in the coop. I love sitting and watching the hens scratch around and forage in the run. The little chicks we picked up to raise for the Summer are growing like weeds and will soon make their move from the Pickup Palace into their mobile run in the yard for the rest of the Summer months.
We had a lovely surprise at the end of June when friends of ours, the Wittal’s, welcomed two healthy twins into the world. A boy and a girl, we were over the moon for them. It put the pressure on for me as I has been busy making baby quilts for the pair, and when they arrived a month early, this Auntie was not prepared! I was able to get them completed and gifted this past week. These two quilts are the third and fourth baby blankets I have made. And tooting my own horn if I can, I am so flipping proud of myself. Each blanket I complete gets a little better each time, my technique improves and everything looks sharper and cleaner. I have been having so much fun quilting and look forward to my next project!
This coming week we are looking forward to having my brother Mackenzie and his girlfriend Alexis visit us here on the farm for the first time! I can’t even wait for them to arrive on Wednesday, and we have some fun days planned to head to the mountains and show them what the West is all about!
Now, I’ve spent enough time inside this morning writing, it’s time to head outside and enjoy the beautiful sunshine and warm breeze!

Sacred Games writer Varun Grover denies #MeToo allegation in an open letter
Writer Varun Grover, who has been accused of sexual harassment while studying at Banaras Hindu University in 2001, shared an open letter on Tuesday.
The Sacred Games writer, who had been named in the #MeToo movement last week, called the accusation fabricated allegations while urging people not to believe the screenshots.
In the post titled 'Seeking Closure', he said, "Am I angry? Yes. Is my mental health in shambles? Yes. Do I occasionally feel like a victim of an agenda? Yes. And would I still say 'Believe All Women'? Yes. But please bring in the checks to differentiate it from 'Believe All Screenshots'. Revolutions can be messy but they can't be perceived as unjust," Grover wrote.
While adding that he supports the need for anonymity in #MeToo stories as "our highly biased societal systems and male toxic behavior leave most women no space or platform to speak of their traumas openly or even in private", he said, "fact-based counter-claims are made by the accused, the movement as a collective can perhaps make space for the intent to verify them".
"If the allegations are found untrue, the movement can announce them to be considered removed or at the very least the account can be labelled as 'pending verification', till the contested claims are checked," he shared.
He then went on to narrate, "I joined IT-BHU in July 1999 for a 4-year under-grad course in Civil Engineering. New batches arrive in July every year. So a junior to me in 2001 would mean two batches- 2000-2004 and 2001-2005. As per official records, in the batch of 2000-2004, a total of 25 females joined the under-grad course and in the batch of 2001-2005, the total female strength was 11. That makes it a total of 36 female students that were my junior at that time."
He also added that had only 36 women studying with him in the university, out of which only four were a part of the theatre group. "And, all these four women not only expressed their solidarity but also checked with the remaining 32 if such an incident happened and they found out that it did not happen," he added.

Honda’s most extreme Type R yet – the Civic Type R Limited Edition – has set a new lap record at the Suzuka Circuit in Japan for Front-Wheel Drive cars, with a time of 2 mins and 23.993 seconds.
In case you’re wondering what is different with the Civic Type R Limited Edition, it features lightweight components, suspension and steering upgrades, and a stripped-back, driver-focused interior, making it lighter which of course means quicker.
The record-breaking lap was achieved by a Type R Limited Edition development car as it underwent its final performance evaluation in February 2020.
The development car featured the same technical specifications as the production version, with no modifications or performance enhancements.
Just 100 of the Type R Limited Edition will be built for Europe, each benefiting from the standard Type R’s outstanding driving dynamics and performance.
The new Limited Edition features lightweight 20-inch forged BBS alloy wheels with high grip Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2 tyres. These are designed exclusively for outstanding circuit performance but still deliver exceptional on-road performance, whilst providing a 10kg weight saving.
Modified dampers optimise this new wheel and tyre combination and, together with recalibrated steering, offer maximum control and feedback.
The Adaptive Damper System’s control software now evaluates road conditions faster, resulting in improved damper reactions for both better handling response and ride quality.
The new Limited Edition model retains the Type R’s 2.0-litre VTEC Turbo engine. Peak power output is 320PS at 6,500 rpm and peak torque is 400 Nm from 2,500 rpm to 4,500 rpm. 0-100 km/h is achieved in 5.7 seconds.
The striking Type R Limited Edition will be available in an exclusive new colour, ‘Sunlight Yellow’, and will feature an exclusive dark chrome Civic badge on the rear hatch and a contrasting gloss black roof.
Gloss black wing mirrors and an intake vent on the bonnet complete its aggressive styling.
The interior of the flagship Civic Type R Limited Edition echoes Honda’s sporting bloodline with red bucket seats and a plaque marking the build number of the car.
The Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel and a newly designed teardrop style gear knob provides the driver with a greater sense of oneness with the Type R even on the highly technical Suzuka Circuit.
The track-focused nature of the car means the infotainment and air conditioning systems are omitted to save weight, but the rear seats remain to ensure that that the Limited Edition retains the everyday usability for which the Civic is renowned.
The new tyres and wheels, together with new lightweight components and a stripped-back interior all contribute to a 47kg weight reduction compared to the Type R GT variant.
Meanwhile, the suspension set-up and Adaptive Damper System have also been improved across all Type R models for more responsive, sharper handling and improved ride quality.
