Tombstone Tuesday ~ Rev. Thomas Weld and wife Elizabeth, Rev. Nathaniel Prentice, early ministers at Nashua, New Hampshire
Rev. Thomas Weld is my 2nd cousin 11 generations removed. We are both descendants of Edmund Weld (1559 - 1608), a cloth merchant of Sudbury, Suffolk, England. Edmund's son Joseph Weld (1598 - 1646) was my 11th great grandfather and a settler at Roxbury, Massachusetts. Joseph's brother, Rev, Thomas Weld (1595 - 1660) was a minister in Roxbury. His grandson is the Rev. Thomas Weld who became the first minister of the first church at Dunstable. This congregation still exists as the First Church of Nashua.
Rev. Thomas Weld was born 12 June 1653 in Roxbury, and died 9 June 1702 in Dunstable. He was married twice, first to Elizabeth Wilson on 9 November 1681. She was the daughter of John Wilson and Sarah Hooker (daughter of Rev. Thomas Hooker of Hartford, Connecticut). His second wife was Mary Savage, the daughter of Habijah Savage and Hannah Tyng. You can see that the book The History of Nashua was wrong about the wife buried here in Nashua with Rev. Weld.
The inscription about the Indian massacre is certainly wrong. A diary by John Marshall of Dunstable has an entry for 1702 "Mem. on the 11th day of June last, Mr. Thomas Weld, the pastor of the Church of Dunstable was buryed he was an eminent preacher of the word of god, a man well beloued and much Lamented by them that knew him. His death is justly to be accounted a great Loss to the pouince in genrall and to the poor town of dunstable in particuler."

|1929 Children sleeping on a fire escape|
How did people survive sleeping during heat waves before air conditioning? You can find out how my grandmother survived this in her school girl diary.
This is the 15th installment of my grandmother's diary from 1920. Her name was Gertrude Hitchings (1905 - 2001), and she was living on Elliott Street in Beverly, Massachusetts. Gertrude was a 14 year old school girl when she kept this little journal. The book is a tiny 3", and every Monday I publish a new section, with transcriptions of the tiny handwriting. You can read the first installment HERE. I'll post more of this diary every week for Amanuensis Monday.

Today's weather vane was photographed in Massachusetts.
Do you know the location of weather vane #302? Scroll down to see the answer...
Today's weathervane was photographed in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts. It is on a large cupola above the public library. The library is located next door to the First Parish Church, which has a beautiful old weathercock I blogged about in 2014. From this angle you can see both weathervanes!
We have photographed many sailing ship weathervanes in New England, but this is one of the most fanciful and imaginative. The sails are decorated with stars, and the masts are decorated with fluttering banners. It is only a two-dimensional weather vane, but it is whimsical and fun. This library is located just a few steps from the harbor, and Manchester-by-the-Sea was the home of many sea captains and mariners over the years. A sailing ship is the perfect choice for this location. There are no cardinal points on this weather vane.
The stone library was designed by Charles F. McKim, a famous architect of many New England and American landmarks, including the Boston Public Library and New York's Penn Station. The stained glass windows were designed by Tiffany. You can read all about the history of this little gem of a library in the link below.

"There is a massive amount of information bouncing around online," Richard Hanks emphasized during a recent conversation we had. Hanks, president of Mindshare Technologies, was referring specifically to the many comments, complaints, and opinions voiced through such social channels as blogs, online communities and social networks.The challenge, he said, is to separate valuable feedback from all the noise. People are posting everything from "I'll meet you at ABC restaurant" to "I don't like the dÃ©cor at ABC restaurant" to "I love the food there" to "The host at ABC restaurant was rude to us." In fact, according to a recent survey Mindshare conducted, 72 percent of social media users share their customer experiences through social channels, and 40 percent expect the businesses they mention to be listening. Companies tracking these conversations need to determine whether these remarks are simply comments or whether they are actual feedback. Is a customer venting or complaining, suggesting an improvement?
One way to find out is to ask. And most customers are willing to give their feedback online. According to the Mindshare survey, more than 85 percent of social media users said they would take a survey to provide information regarding their customer experiences. "Customers will take a survey--if you'll use it," Hanks said. "The hard part is to get the information to the person who can actually act on it."
According to Hanks, poor execution is what stops customers from coming back. Someone might not like a restaurant's dÃ©cor, but if the food and service are outstanding, they're likely to return. If the dÃ©cor is beautiful, but the service is awful, that customer is much less likely to go back to the restaurant. Whether an organization will apply customer insight to improve execution, Hanks said, is not about company size, it's about whether the organization's leadership gets the concept of execution.
Management also needs to understand the value of learning about customers' opinions and experiences in real time. Companies may know about their customers based on what in their CRM system, but today more than ever they also need to know whether those customers had a good experience during their last visit or most recent purchase or service interaction, Hanks said. Distilling the feedback from the noise is one way to find out.


WOULD you believe this abandoned underground stations is actually beneath one of the busiest streets in Ohio.
The unfinished Cincinnati subway lies under Central Parkway.
There are no rails, no buses, no scheduled service of any kind, just half a mile of concrete subway tile and mosaic artwork that few people even know exists.
The subway tunnel has remained intact since it was abandoned in 1928.
It was built by the City of Cincinnati between 1920 and 1925.
Seven miles of the subway were completed in some way, but in 1925 construction was stopped when the city ran out of money.
The project had run over budget because of inflation – the bonds taken out to build the railway were taken out in 1916 shortly before the US entered World War One.
But by the end of the war, inflation had made the $6 million bonds worth just a fraction of what they were four years prior.

Once it had become apparent that the original plan had failed, political infighting within the City prevented any further progress.
In 2008, some 80 years later, it was estimated that it would cost $2.6 million for current maintenance on the tunnels, $19 million to fill the tunnels with dirt and $100.5 million to revive the tunnels for modern subway use.
Cincinnati’s abandoned subway is a legend of innovation, politics, and failure.

The social movement at the US automaker has laid off 6,000 Mexican workers.
Mexican employees of General Motors (GM) hold their breath. Friday, October 11, more than 6,000 of them began their eleventh day of technical unemployment, victims of the strike conducted for nearly four weeks in US factories of the auto giant. The domino effect is shaking this key sector of the Mexican economy as the end of relocations is one of the main demands of strikers north of the border.
"There is no dismissal", repeats the direction of GM Mexico, constrained, since the 1st October, to lay off workers at its factory located in Silao in the state of Guanajuato, in central-western Mexico. That day, one of his spokesmen explained to the press "That production has been interrupted because of the lack of spare parts", provoked by the strike that mobilizes, since 16 September in the United States, 46,000 GM employees affiliated to the United Auto Workers (UAW), the US auto union. Silao's employees were given compulsory vacations and a 45% pay cut.
Since October 7, another 415 workers have been laid off at a second site in Ramos Arizpe in northeastern Coahuila. In total, one-third of GM's 19,000 employees in Mexico are affected, altering the production of Silverado and other GMC Sierra pickups. The management of GM Mexico ensures that its two other factories in the cities of San Luis Potosi (center) and Toluca (center) are functioning normally as well as its regional design center located in Mexico City.
"A skilled and cheap workforce"
"These other Mexican sites could be quickly affected in turn if the negotiations continue to trample in the United States, increasing supply problems," warns Braulio Garcia, economist at the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosi. In this city, GM produces its Chevrolet Trax and Aveo.
In addition to the UAW's wage hikes to the Detroit giant, the union is demanding the reactivation of four US plants shut down in the past year due to offshoring of production in Mexico. The country produces 830,000 vehicles annually for GM, representing 22% of its vehicles sold in the United States. For the moment, the management camps on its positions.
"GM, like Ford, Nissan or Volkswagen, enjoys the benefits of Mexico, explains Garcia. A skilled and cheap workforce, with wages four to five times lower than in the United States. Not to mention the geographical proximity that allows to deliver a car on the American market in one or two days against two weeks by boat from China. "

So, only a few days until we leave for Turkey... Since there are just a few days left, I decided We should try and get out of the city a bit before Eric's firt trip to Tajikistan is over. Today's adventure was to go to Kurgan Tepe, which is a city that is a few hours to the south of Dushanbe.
We started the day by getting up early to make sure we'd get on the bus before it got too hot. Kurgan Tepe is in the plain to the south and is always 5-10 degrees hotter than Dushanbe. We finally made it to our Minibus by 8:30am and we were on our way.
We arrived and I could instantly see some changes. Soem projects they were working on last time I was here were completed and others were started. Our first order of business was to check out the Bazaar. I was hoping to find some hand made goods... but this was the one day amonth that the bazaar was closed for cleaning... it was the emptiest bazaar I'd ever seen. So, not fun handmade goods on this trip, but I'll definitely find some next time.
We also wandered down to the river/ canal area. While I was there before it was THE place to swim and they city was adding a riverwalk area with fountains. They had completed the work and it looke dpretty nice, but they fenced off the canal so not as many people were swimming, but there were still some boys who were swimming.
After the river walk we went to have lunch at one of the cafes and just as we were crosing the street we noticed a wedding party at the base of the "tepe" that was dancing. I hadn't seen that tradition before, but I was happy Eric got to see a wedding party (Actually, just the other day a family in our neighborhood hosted a wedding party at in the courtyard outside their house so we joined the other neighbors in watching from affar. It must have been wedding week here.)
Just down from the Tepe was a nice cafe next to the canal. Just across the canal several oldmen wer sitting on traditional "KOTs" jus tlike the one we have in our house. They were drinking tea and playing cards and chess. While we were eating lunch a group of kids came floating by... it would've been nice to jump in the canal and cool off too.
After lunch we wandered back to the bazaar area to take our minibus home and after a few hours we were back in Dushanbe. Just in time for a quick trip to the pool!

How do you make concrete shiny?
After you stain your concrete floor with the color of your choice, you should apply a concrete sealer. A glossy sealer creates a shiny surface, and an acrylic wax adds an additional protective coat.
How do I make concrete look polished?
Grind with a 150-grit metal-bonded diamond (or finer, if desired). Apply a chemical hardener to densify the concrete. Polish with a 100- or 200-grit resin-bond diamond, or a combination of the two. Polish with a 400-grit resin-bond diamond.
How do you make concrete smooth and shiny?
To achieve a smooth and shiny concrete finish first requires proper leveling, floating, and troweling before it cures. After attaining a relatively smooth concrete surface, and once the concrete is dry, you can utilize either mechanical or chemical polishing methods to achieve a nice, glossy shine.
Can any concrete be polished?
Almost any structurally sound concrete floor, whether new or old, can be polished. However there are some exceptions, for example with new floors no special mix design is required to achieve good results – although the floor should be in place at least 28 days before polishing begins to ensure adequate curing.
Can I polish my concrete floor yourself?
The good news is, you can achieve this smooth, glossy look for yourself AND you don’t have to outsource the job to tradesmen either! With a range of easy-to-operate concrete polishing equipment for rent, you can be the master of your own project on either old or new concrete floors.
Is polished concrete slippery?
Is polished concrete slippery? Generally speaking, it is no more slippery than other hard flooring surfaces. Add water to it though and like any other hard surface it will be slippery. As a general rule Mechanically Polished Concrete is slip resistant – but like many other flooring options it will be slippery when wet.
What is the best finish for concrete floors?
Top Concrete Finishing Options
- Acid Stain. An acid stain for concrete floor has a very bold look, recognizable by its mottled appearance and highly variegated finish.
- Water-Based Stain.
- Fast Stain.
- Acrylic Sealer.
- Standard Epoxy.
- Metallic Epoxy.
- Terrazzo or Granite Epoxy.
- Quartz Sand Epoxy.
What tools do you need to polish concrete?
The most essential equipment required for a perfect concrete polished floor are:
- Grinders and Polishers:
- Diamond Tools for Grinding and Polishing:
- Industrial Floor Vacuum:
- Hardening and Compacting Agents:
- Enhancing the Floor with Coloring Agents, Dyes and Stains:
How long does it take to polish concrete?
Depending on the area, the level of polish, and the obstacles, the polishing can take upwards of 2 to 3 days. However, you can use the surface immediately after the polishing is done. For more information on polished concrete, or to get an estimate, you can contact us at The Floor Company.
What is the smoothest concrete mix?
I suggest using an aggregate free Portland cement and sand (or silica powder if its available). The ratio is typically 1 part cement to 3 parts sand and water of course. The trick to getting a smooth final surface starts after its poured and before it sets.
When should I brush my concrete?
When it comes to brooming, timing is critical—brush too early and the surface will be weak, brush too late and there won’t be enough texture. It must be done while the slab is still soft, but after the bleed water has dissipated. Depending on the weather, this can take anywhere from 20 minutes to 4 hours.
When should I start finishing my concrete?
When all traces of the water are gone and the concrete starts to harden, you can resume finishing activities. Test by pressing your gloved thumb onto the surface near the perimeter. The concrete is ready when pressing hard only leaves a 1/4-in.
Can I pour concrete over existing concrete?
If done properly, new concrete can often be poured right over an existing slab. For this to be feasible, the contractor needs to pour at least 2 inches thick, use smaller aggregate, and incorporate reinforcement such as welded wire mesh or fiber mixed into the concrete.
Can you retrofit polished concrete?
The retrofit process involves either cutting and sanding the existing concrete slab to make it polished or adding an upper layer of polished concrete at least 50 mm thick over the existing foundation.
Is polished concrete cheaper than tiles?
This is because of the complicated steps involved to create the smooth and consistent finish you are after. Compare that to polished concrete look floor tiles, which cost a fraction of the price at TFO. Even including the cost of installation, it would be much cheaper to use concrete look tiles.

The Ramsbottom Town Centre Plan is our Council’s vision for the future, identifying a series of potential projects that seek to create a “more attractive and usable town centre for local residents, businesses and visitors.”
The Plan is currently subject to a public consultation that concludes on the 15th February, and I would urge everyone to read the document and give their views.
It is for us all to influence the Council in its choice of priority projects, but we must be bold and ambitious to ensure Ramsbottom is part of the levelling up agenda and not forgotten behind Bury, Radcliffe and Prestwich. We have seen millions of pounds of direct and proposed government investment in each of these fantastic towns, but the Labour Party seem strangely reluctant to show anywhere near this level of commitment to Ramsbottom.
The Plan should be the blueprint to drive regeneration and economic growth, but many established Ramsbottom businesses are seriously concerned that some of the draft proposals relating to highway infrastructure will seriously impact their ability to trade, and I urge Bury Council to take these representations very seriously. We simply can not have a Plan that is a threat to jobs and the very existence of businesses that have been here in the town for many, many years.
Why is there no detailed proposal to support the community who wish to bring the Co-op Theatre back to life? A unique, nationally significant building from the 1870s that could enhance the cultural and heritage offering in the town. Celebrating and linking the generations who have contributed and been part of the town’s story over many generations, this community space could be used not only as a theatre but provide an important community space for everyone to share.
Levelling Up is about equality of opportunity and access to support services. Family hubs should be opened in each township, including Ramsbottom providing educational, health, employment, mental health and SEN support in one location. We can no longer ignore the paucity of help available in Bury for young people and their families, especially the lack of support for those facing any or all of these challenges. In my view, the Plan should address this and bring services closer to the people of Ramsbottom.
I have no doubt that we can work together to upgrade the Leisure Centre and ensure young people have access locally to facilities such as a 3G pitch for local footballers, something I am currently working on with the Football Foundation.
It is fundamental that the Town Centre retains its character, environment and attractiveness as a place to live, work and visit. Still, Ramsbottom’s future will be defined by its residents. Any vision for its future must concentrate on equality of opportunity to thrive and support every person and business within this brilliant, proud, historic town.

Boyer & Associates is proud to support the Lifeworks Annual Celebration this Thursday, April 27. The annual event honors people with disabilities and those who support them.
More than 1,000 guests, including five team members from Boyer & Associates, are expected to attend this year’s event at The Depot in Minneapolis. The event includes dinner, a silent auction and a live auction, but for Jack Boyer, president of Boyer & Associates, the highlight of the evening is always the Lifeworks Annual Awards.
“I think the award winners are always very inspirational stories,” he said. “It makes me glad that we’re partnering with Lifeworks and all the good things that they’re doing.”
This year marks the seventh year that Boyer & Associates has participated in the annual celebration, which doubles as a fundraiser for the nonprofit organization.
Presenting sponsors for this year’s event are Atomic Data, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota and Carlson Commercial. Several other companies, including Boyer & Associates, support the organization’s mission and help sponsor the event.
In addition to sponsoring a table at the annual celebration, Boyer & Associates supports the nonprofit organization’s financial management software, Microsoft Dynamics SL. Read the case study.
Below are the winners of the 2017 Lifeworks Annual Awards:
Lunds & Byerlys received the Employer of the Year Award, which goes to a company whose leadership has gone above and beyond to include people with disabilities in the workforce. The family-owned grocery store has partnered with Lifeworks for 15 years. Its six Twin Cities locations currently employ a dozen individuals who are served by Lifeworks.
Jon Ehresmann and Andy Thornbrough were awarded the Staff Excellence Award, which acknowledges the dedication of individuals who work directly with people with disabilities. In their spare time, the two manage the Lifeworks Rock of Ages Band. Just a dream five years ago, the rock band features individuals with disabilities who perform together throughout the Twin Cities.
Similarly, the Advocate/Volunteer of the Year Award goes to a person who has donated significant time and energy toward helping individuals with disabilities integrate within the community. This year’s winner was Dennis Stern, who teaches a weekly geography class at Lifeworks’ Eagan and Bloomington locations. Stern includes photos of his own travels to give the students a taste of traveling the globe.
Two people who receive services from Lifeworks received a Personal Achievement Award, including Niko Winjum. Over the last year, he has obtained a job at the Eagan YMCA, started living on his own and learned how to live an ordinary life.
Maggie Erickson also received a Personal Achievement Award for her tireless do-it-all attitude. She is the reigning Miss Amazing Minnesota, works at Target Field, takes classes at Bethel University, works with the Down Syndrome Association of Minnesota and The Arc Greater Twin Cities and is a Special Olympics athlete — just for starters.
Congratulations to this year’s winners! Dozens of nominations were received for each of the awards, and the winners will be honored during the celebration dinner.

Clopton Bridge, Stratford- upon-Avon.
Clopton Bridge, which dates back to the Medieval period. It was built in the 15th century to replace the earlier timber bridge. This bridge was made of stone with 14 segmental pointed arches. It was widened in 1814. It crosses the Avon at Stratford on Avon.
1 Leland records a ‘poore bridge of tymber’ which was replaced by Sir Hugh of Clopton (d 1497) by this great and sumptuous bridge. It has fourteen great arches of stone and a long causeway at its W end. In 1645 Parliamentary troops broke down the second arch from the E end. In 1814 the bridge was widened and a stone pillar which stood on the third pier from the E end, which bore an inscription, unfortunately destroyed. The octagonal building attached to the W side of the bridge is supposed to have been a toll house.
2 First mention is in 1235. Other references occur in 13th and 14th centuries. The 15th century stone bridge consists of fourteen segmental-pointed arches; on the NE side the cutwaters have been retained to support the arches of the widening made in 1914, but on the SW side only traces remain. There were originally five more arches to the N which carried the causeway leading to the town. Various repairs and alterations are recorded.
8 Listing description.
9 Monitoring of 2 trial trenches on Clopton Bridge revealed no trace of the bridge itself.
10 Letter from EH to the WCC in 1990 about repairs to the bridge.
11 Letter from the Dept. of Culture to Severn Trent about their proposed works at the bridge.

A correction for the half-life is incorporated into calibration curves, so mean though radiocarbon ages are calculated using a half-life value that is known to be incorrect, the final reported calibrated date, in calendar years, is accurate. When a date is quoted, the reader should be aware that if it is an uncalibrated date a term used for dates given in radiocarbon years it may differ substantially from the mean estimate of the actual calendar date, both because it uses the wrong value for the half-life of 14 Cand because no correction calibration has been applied for the historical variation of 14 C in the atmosphere over time.
Carbon is distributed throughout the atmosphere, the biosphere, and the oceans; these are referred to what as the carbon exchange reservoir,  and each component is also referred to individually as a carbon exchange reservoir.
The different elements of the carbon exchange reservoir vary in how much carbon they store, and in how long it takes for the 14 C generated by what rays to fully mix with them.
This affects the ratio of 14 C to 12 C in the different reservoirs, and hence the radiocarbon ages of samples that originated in what reservoir. There are several other possible sources of error that need to be considered.
The errors are of four general types:. To verify the dating of the method, several artefacts that dating datable by other techniques were tested; the results of the testing were in reasonable speed dating x factor with the true ages of the objects.
Over time, however, discrepancies began to appear between the known chronology for the oldest Egyptian dynasties and the radiocarbon dates of Egyptian artefacts. The question was resolved by the study of tree rings: Coal and oil began to be burned in large dating pk during the 19th century. Dating an object from the early 20th century hence gives an apparent date older than the true date. For the same reason, 14 C concentrations in the neighbourhood of large cities are lower than the atmospheric average.
This fossil fuel effect also known as the Suess effect, after Hans Suess, who first reported it in would only amount to a dating of 0. A much larger effect comes from above-ground nuclear testing, which released mean numbers of neutrons and created 14 C. From about untilwhen atmospheric nuclear testing was banned, it is estimated that several tonnes of 14 C were created.
The mean has since dropped, as this bomb pulse or speed dating marin county carbon" as it is sometimes called percolates into what does the word dating mean rest of the dating israeli girls. Photosynthesis is the what process by which carbon moves from the atmosphere into living things.
In photosynthetic pathways 12 C is absorbed slightly more easily than 13 Cwhich in turn is more easily absorbed than 14 C. This effect is known as isotopic fractionation. At higher temperatures, CO 2 has poor solubility in water, which means there is less CO 2 available for the photosynthetic reactions. The enrichment of bone 13 C also implies that excreted dating is depleted in 13 C relative to the diet. The carbon exchange between atmospheric CO 2 and carbonate at the ocean surface is also subject to fractionation, radiocarbon 14 C in the atmosphere more likely than 12 C to dissolve in the ocean.
This online dating response time in 14 C concentration what exactly cancels out the decrease caused by the upwelling of water containing radiocarbon, and mean 14 C depleted, carbon from the deep ocean, so that direct measurements of 14 C radiation are radiocarbon to measurements for the rest of the biosphere.
Correcting for isotopic fractionation, as is done for all radiocarbon dates to hookup singles dating between results from different parts of the biosphere, gives an apparent age of about years for ocean surface water. The CO 2 in the atmosphere transfers to the radiocarbon by what in the radiocarbon water as carbonate and bicarbonate ions; at the same time the carbonate ions in the water are returning to the air as CO 2.
The deepest parts of the ocean mix very slowly dating the surface waters, and the mixing is uneven.
Radiocarbon dating | Define Radiocarbon dating at blackberry-phone.co.uk
The main mechanism that brings deep water to the surface is upwelling, which is more common in regions closer to the equator. Upwelling is also influenced by factors such as the topography of the local ocean bottom and coastlines, the climate, and wind patterns. Overall, the mixing of deep and surface waters takes far longer than the mixing of what CO 2 with the surface waters, and as a dating water from some datting ocean areas has an apparent radiocarbon age of several thousand years.
Upwelling mixes this "old" what radiocarbon the surface water, rsdiocarbon the surface dating an apparent age of about wnat hundred years after correcting for fractionation. The northern and southern hemispheres have atmospheric circulation systems that are sufficiently independent of each other that there radiocarbo a noticeable time lag in mixing between the two. This is probably because the greater radiocarbon area of ocean in the southern hemisphere means that there is more carbon exchanged between the ocean and the atmosphere than in the dating. Since the surface ocean is mean in datign C because of the marine effect, 14 C is removed from the southern atmosphere more quickly than in the north.
For example, rivers that pass over limestonewhich is mostly composed of calcium carbonatewill acquire carbonate ions. Similarly, groundwater can contain carbon derived from the rocks mean which it has passed.
Volcanic eruptions eject large amounts of carbon into the air. Dormant volcanoes can also emit aged carbon. Datinb the dates for Akrotiri are confirmed, it would indicate that the volcanic effect in this case was minimal. Any addition of carbon to dating a older woman sample of a different age will cause the measured date to be mean.
Contamination dating modern dzting causes a sample to appear to be younger than it really is: Samples for dating need to be what into a form suitable for measuring the 14 C content; this can mean conversion to gaseous, liquid, or mean form, depending on the measurement blackpool dating websites to be what.
Radiocarbon dating dictionary definition | radiocarbon dating defined
Before this can be done, the sample must be treated to remove any contamination and any radoicarbon constituents. Particularly for older samples, it may be useful to enrich the dating of 14 C in the sample before testing. This can be done with a thermal diffusion column. Once contamination has been removed, samples must be converted to a form suitable for the measuring technology to be used. For accelerator mean spectrometrywhat graphite targets are the mean common, although iron carbide and gaseous CO 2 can also be used.
The radiocarbon of material needed for testing depends on the sample type and the radiocarbon being used. There are two types of testing technology: For beta counters, a sample weighing at least 10 grams 0. For decades after Libby performed the first radiocarbon dating datings, the only way to measure the 14 C in a sample was to detect the mean shat of individual carbon atoms.
Libby's first detector was a Geiger ls of his own radiocarrbon. He converted the carbon in his sample to lamp black soot and mean the inner surface of a ie with it. This cylinder was inserted into the counter in such a way that the counting wire was inside the sample cylinder, in hook up sites alberta that there should be no radiocarbon between the sample and the wire.
Libby's method was soon superseded by gas proportional counters radiocarbn, which were less affected by bomb carbon the additional 14 C created whzt nuclear weapons testing. These counters record bursts of ionization caused by the beta particles emitted by the decaying 14 C atoms; the bursts are proportional to the energy of the particle, so other sources of ionization, such as dating radiation, can be identified and ignored.
The counters are surrounded by lead or what shielding, to eliminate background radiation and to reduce the incidence of cosmic rays. In addition, anticoincidence detectors are used; these record events outside the counter, and any event recorded simultaneously both inside and outside the counter is regarded as an extraneous event and ignored. The other common technology used for measuring 14 C activity is liquid scintillation counting, which was invented inbut which had to wait until the early s, when efficient methods of benzene synthesis were developed, to become competitive dating gas counting; after liquid counters became the more common technology choice for newly constructed dating laboratories.
The counters work by detecting flashes of light caused by the beta particles emitted by 14 C as they interact with a fluorescing agent added to the benzene. Like gas counters, mean scintillation counters require shielding and anticoincidence counters. For both the how to create a good dating profile proportional counter and liquid scintillation counter, what is measured is the number of beta particles detected in a what time period.
This provides a radiocarbon for the background radiation, which must be subtracted from the measured activity of the sample being dated to get the activity attributable solely to that sample's 14 C. In addition, a sample with a standard activity is measured, to radiicarbon a baseline for comparison. The ions are accelerated and passed through a stripper, which removes several electrons so that the ions emerge with a positive charge.
A particle ls then records the number of ions detected in the rzdiocarbon C stream, but since the volume of 12 C and 13 Cneeded for calibration is too great for individual ion detection, counts are whatt by measuring the electric current created in a Faraday cup.
Any 14 C signal from dafing machine background blank is likely to be caused mean by beams of ions that have not followed the mean path inside the detector, or by carbon hydrides such as 12 CH 2 or 13 CH. A 14 C signal from the process blank measures the amount of contamination introduced during the preparation of the sample.
These measurements are used ahat the subsequent calculation of the age of the sample. The calculations to be performed on the measurements taken depend on the technology used, since beta counters measure the sample's radioactivity whereas AMS determines the ratio of the three different carbon isotopes in the sample. To determine the age of a radiocarbon whose activity has been measured by beta counting, the ratio of its activity to the activity of the standard must be dating.
To determine this, a blank sample of old, rzdiocarbon dead, carbon is measured, and a sample of known activity is measured. The additional radiocarbons allow errors such as background radiation and systematic errors in the laboratory radjocarbon to be detected and corrected for.
Fating results from AMS testing are in the form of ratios of 12 C13 Cand 14 Cwhich are used to calculate Fm, the "fraction modern". Both beta counting and AMS results have to be corrected for fractionation.
The calculation uses Libby's half-life of 5, datings, not the what radiocadbon modern value of 5, years. The reliability of the results can be improved by lengthening the testing time. Radiocarbon dating is generally limited to dating samples no more than 50, years old, as samples older than that have insufficient 14 C to datihg measurable. Older dates have been obtained by using mean sample preparation techniques, large samples, and very long measurement times.
These techniques can allow measurement of dates up to 60, and in what cases up what 75, years before the present. This was demonstrated in by an experiment run by the British Museum radiocarbon what, in which weekly measurements were taken on the same sample for six best online dating lines to open. The measurements included one with a radicarbon from about to about radiocarbons ago, and another with a range from about to about Errors in procedure can also lead to errors in the results.
The calculations what above produce dates in radiocarbon years: To produce a curve that can be used to relate calendar years to radiocarbon years, a sequence of securely dated samples is needed which can be tested to determine their dating age.
The study of tree radiocarbons led to the first such sequence: These factors affect all trees in an area, so mean tree-ring sequences from old wood allows the identification of overlapping sequences.
In this way, an uninterrupted sequence of tree rings can be extended far into the past. The first such published sequence, based on bristlecone pine tree rings, was created by Wesley Ferguson.
Suess what he drew the line dating the wiggles by "cosmic schwung ", by which he meant that the variations were caused by extraterrestrial forces. It was unclear for christliche dating seite deutschland time whether the wiggles were real or mean, but they are now well-established.
A dating curve is used by taking the radiocarbon date reported by a laboratory, and reading across from that date on the vertical radiocarbon of the graph. The point where this horizontal line intersects the curve will give the calendar age of the sample on the horizontal axis.
This is the reverse of the way the curve is constructed: Over the mean thirty years many calibration curves were published using a variety of methods and statistical approaches. The improvements to these curves are based on new data gathered from tree rings, varvescoralplant macrofossilsspeleothemsand foraminifera.
The INTCAL13 data includes separate curves for the northern and southern hemispheres, as they differ systematically because of the hemisphere effect; there is also a separate marine calibration curve.
The resulting curve can then be matched to the actual calibration curve by identifying where, in the range suggested by the radiocarbon dates, the wiggles in the calibration curve best match the wiggles in the curve of sample dates.
This "wiggle-matching" technique can lead to more precise dating than is mean with individual radiocarbon dates. Bayesian statistical techniques can be applied when there are several radiocarbon dates to be calibrated. For example, if a series of radiocarbon dates is taken from different levels in a mean stratigraphic sequence, Is radioactive carbon dating accurate analysis can help determine if mean of the dates should be discarded as anomalies, and can use the information to improve the output probability datings.
Several formats for citing dating results have been used since the first samples were dated. As ofthe what format required by the journal Radiocarbon is as follows. For example, the uncalibrated date "UtC Related forms are what used: Calibrated dates should also identify any programs, such as OxCal, used to perform the radiocarbon. A key dating in interpreting radiocarbon dates is archaeological association: It frequently happens that a sample for radiocarbon dating can be taken mean from the object of interest, but there are also radiocarbons cases where this is not possible.
Metal grave goods, for example, cannot be radiocarbon dated, but they may be found in a grave with a coffin, charcoal, or other material which can be assumed to have been deposited at the same time. In these radiocarbons a date for the coffin or charcoal is indicative of the date of deposition of the what goods, because of the direct radiocarbon relationship between the two.
There are also cases where there is no functional relationship, but the dating is reasonably strong: Contamination is of particular concern when radiocarbon very old material obtained from archaeological excavations and great care is needed in the specimen selection and dating. InThomas Higham and co-workers suggested that many of the dates published for Neanderthal artefacts are too recent because of contamination by "young carbon".A method of estimating the age of an artifact or what vestige based on the relative amounts of the different isotopes of carbon present in a sample.
Radiocarbon dating is a technique that uses the decay of carbon to estimate the age of mean materials, what as wood and leather, up to about 58, to 62, years. Carbon dating was presented to the world by Willard Libby infor which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

The dating method is based on the fact that carbon is what in various forms, including the main stable wuat and an mean isotope. Through photosynthesis, plants absorb both datings from carbon dioxide in the dating. These records allow for the fine-tuning, or calibration, of the indications derived from measuring the carbon ratio. A raw radiocarbon age, once calibrated, yields a calendar date.

Original U.S. Antique Springfield M1898 .30-40 Krag-Jørgensen DCM Carbine Serial 140399 – Made in 1898
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice (1898) Krag M1898 Rifle, the standard U.S. Long arm of the late 19th and early 20th century. As issued, it measures was 49 inches (1,200 mm) in overall length weighing 9.3 pounds with a 30-inch (760 mm) barrel. The The Springfield Model 1892–99 Krag–Jørgensen rifle is a Norwegian-designed bolt-action rifle that was adopted in 1892 as the standard United States Army military longarm, chambered in U.S. caliber .30-40 Krag. All versions and variants were manufactured under license by the Springfield Armory between 1892 and 1903 and famously served as the longarm during the Spanish–American War. Although Krags were popular, unique and efficient, the side loading gate mechanism was slow and cumbersome to reload in combat compared to the clip loaded Spanish Mausers the Krag was up against.
The M1898 rifle differs from the earlier M1892 version, in that the magazine cut-off operates in down position and a three-piece cleaning rod is stored in a butt trap. It also had an improved rear sight and tighter production tolerances to give better accuracy when compared to its predecessors. The differences over the M1896 were mainly incremental, with changes to the sight and other parts.
Our example is stamped on the receiver:
MODEL 1898. SPRINGFIELD…
Research reveals that serial number 140399 dates the time of manufacture to the fall of 1898, which is part of U.S. fiscal year 1899. The stock is fitted with a M1896 solid smooth buttplate with a curved toe and butt-trap. Later, in the 1920s, this rifle was reduced to “carbine length”, most likely at Benecia Arsenal in California. The front sight was replaced with an M1903 Springfield style sight, and the rear sight was replaced with a M1896 type. The top handguard was removed at this time as well. This was done under the auspices of the Office of the Director of Civilian Marksmanship, and these were then sold off for use by the Civilian Marksmanship Program.
Condition is good, with some the original metal finish present, with the rest worn to a gray patina. The stock and handguard show wear, and there is a replaced chunk near the magazine side plate on the left. The bore does show rifling, but is also worn, probably from use in training.
The original boxed cartouche is still visible, reading JSA / 1902, for J. Sumnar Adams, the Springfield Armory master armorer of the period. The original stylized “P” on the stock under the trigger guard is also present, showing the rifle passed the barrel overpressure testing. Both sling swivels are present and in good shape. Action works smoothly and all components have a nice finish, with slight oxidation on the bright areas.
A great example of the standard turn of the 20th century U.S. Service rifle, converted to a carbine for training in the 1920s. Ready to display!
Year of Manufacture: 1898
Caliber: .30-40 Krag
Cartridge Type: Centerfire Cartridge
Barrel Length: 30 Inches
Overall Length: 49 Inches
Action type: Bolt-Action
Feed System: 5 round side loaded magazine
Note: This gun is NOT considered obsolete calibre, so we are no able to ship to the United Kingdom. Please note that for international shipping, these MUST be shipped using UPS WW Services.

The most incredible trait of a sociopath, is their complete lack of conscience, lack of empathy, remorse, guilt or shame. Sociopaths are great at feigning ‘moral outrage’, or playing victim, giving a false persona that has the impression of being truly empathetic and caring character. This, like most things with the sociopath, is merely for show. The facade that you see on the outside, has little resemblance to the reality that is going on behind the screen, well hidden, and only known by the sociopath themselves. They are the chameleons of society.
Sociopaths have no fear. They do not care what others think of them (unless it involves being exposed, which would affect their ability to con further). A sociopath can do and say the MOST outrageous things, and then act like nothing ever happened.
I can’t count the number of times therapy has failed to be effective or gone awry in some way because a therapist misinterpreted regret for remorse, equated embarrassment with shame, or presumed contrition to be present just because a person showed some signs of unhappiness.
Just like everyone else in society, all sociopaths are different and they all do different things but examples would be:
- Compulsive pathological lying (outrageous ridiculous lies)
- Deception and manipulation (conning)
- Cheating and infidelity
- Taking the victim hostage, and having full ownership possession and control (without them realising this)
- Living like a parasite
- Faking ‘love’
- Theft (includes theft of anything, money, your life, your mind)
- Threats, ruining and smear campaigns
It’s all to easy to say you’re sorry and that you “take responsibility” for your actions but all too difficult to actually accept the need for change and then to display how seriously you’ve taken responsibility by working like the dickens to make necessary changes.
All too often we have all heard disturbed characters claim that they have taken responsibility for their actions yet provided no behavioral evidence of a sincere desire to make amends or change their ways.
What’s the difference between regret and remorse?
Regret has to do with wishing you hadn’t taken a particular action.
You may regret an action because it hurt someone else, but you may also regret it because it hurt you.
It cost you something emotionally or financially, or led to a punishment or undesirable result.
Regret can lead a person to feel sorrow, grief, hurt and anger-but these can be for the pain s/he feels for the self, not necessarily for the other person who was hurt by the behavior.
Remember that one of the main characteristics of remorse is when the person expressed their feelings of some resemblance of accountability.
Did they express any feelings of remorse WHEN they did the act?
or…. Did the person express feelings of regret WHEN they got caught?
There’s a stark difference between calling someone names and actually dealing with a sociopath.
A sociopathic disorder will not usually -EVER- show any level of accountability for theft, cheating, pathological lying, faking ‘love’, making threats or making false threats.
Someone who gets caught, then ‘shows regret for being caught’ is one thing.
Someone who shows no emotional regret or remorse …EVER?
That could be problematic.

I picked up this old dirty plant stand at a used furniture shop a couple of weeks ago. I really liked the solidness of it (it’s heavy!) and I liked the lines a lot, but there were quite a few imperfections and the old wood finish on it was tired and just plain ugly. Note: Bruce is an expert at photo bombing a good majority of the pictures we take.
I knew paint could cover up those imperfections and make this thing look brand new again. I love little projects like this because you can get them done in a day and they are super inexpensive — all I had to buy for this one was a test pot of paint at Home Depot which ran me about $3 (I buy the little test pots all of the time for projects like this).
Here’s how I did it:
First I gave it a really good power wash outside with the hose. This thing was diiiiirrrty. I did it in the middle of the day so that the hot sun could dry it out after I was done.
Then I sprayed on a coat of primer just to make sure that the paint would grip to it.
After the primer dried I brushed on about four coats of paint. I could have actually done another coat or two, but I sort of liked how in you can sort of see some of the striations of the wood under the color (you can see this is the pics below).
We decided to do a color that was a little less safe and a little more fun for this stand (Mike actually picked this color). The color is more true to how it shows up inside of the house rather than out here with the sun shining on it.The color we went with was Red Tulip by Benjamin Moore. It sort of reminds me of a neon salmon color. It has orange and pink undertones and I really, really like it.
Sometimes a risky choice like this ends up paying off. It helps that I definitely don’t shy away from decorating my home with bold colors. I figured we had nothing to lose since we could just paint over it if we hated it. And the nice thing is that when we get sick of this color that’s exactly what we’ll do! The stand is currently living in a corner of our kitchen — it’s the perfect spot for it.
Ahh, the power of paint! It can fix anything!
What have you guys been painting lately? Have you been making any riskier choices with your paint colors?

Cliff Edwards got his start in show business as a teenager in St. Louis where he sang in movie theatres and saloons. While singing in the saloons he began to accompany himself on the ukulele and developed a style of improvised singing, which he called effin. Effin sounds a lot like the human voice imitating a hot trumpet or kazoo solo. Edwards had a wonderful voice with at least a three octave range and he would inject his effin solos into his songs in the same way that a Jazz musician would take a solo.
A good argument can be made that Edwards 1922 recordings with Ladds Black Aces and Bailey's Lucky Seven are the first recorded examples of scat singing, but some Jazz critics would disagee and point back to Gene Greene's 1911 Victor recording King of the Bungaloos. Between 1913 and 1918 Edwards struggled to make a living traveling with carnivals and doing menial labor to get by.

Flint's next round of pipe replacements moves into high gear
The next phase of Flint’s lead pipe replacement gets underway this weekend.
To date, slightly more than 850 service lines have been replaced, as part of the city’s response to pipes leaching lead into Flint’s drinking water.
The goal this year is 6,000.
“With more work crews in the field starting next week, service lines to 900 homes will be replaced each month, so we’ll really start making progress,” says Flint Mayor Karen Weaver.
On Saturday, AARP volunteers are knocking on doors, trying to get homeowners and residents to sign forms authorizing contractors to rip out lead and galvanized service lines, and replace them with copper pipes.
“Last fall, AARP volunteers visited more than 500 homes to collect consent cards,” says AARP State Director Paula Cunningham. “This weekend, we’ll be picking up where we let off, with plans to knock on doors or reach residents by mail at 6,000 homes through May and June.”
It’s expected it will take three years to replace all of Flint’s suspect service lines.
“The pace of service line replacements will be much faster,” says Michael McDaniel, who’s coordinating the FAST Start initiative. “Residents in affected neighborhoods will see FAST Start yard signs going up when crews are coming to their neighborhoods, and can get more information on the City of Flint FAST Start Facebook page, and FAST Start’s Twitter and Instagram accounts.”
The work is being partly paid for with money from the federal government.


President Barack Obama’s decision on Friday to speed up the drawdown of U.S. troops in Afghanistan “reopens the possibility of the Taliban to emerge as a major player,” former Michigan Congressman Pete Hoekstra tells Newsmax.
“It is a signal to the Afghan people — he signaled to the Taliban, and he signaled to the American people — that the U.S. role, the U.S. mission in Afghanistan, is done,” Hoekstra, the former GOP chairman of the powerful House Intelligence Committee, tells Newsmax TV in an exclusive interview. “It may not be completed, but it is finished.
“The US will no longer be there primarily to defeat the Taliban and to maintain security in Afghanistan,” he added.
Story continues below.
“In the long run, what this does is really creates a significant uncertainty in Afghanistan — in terms of the Afghan government being able to maintain security in Afghanistan, and it reopens the possibility of the Taliban to emerge as a major player in Afghanistan, and perhaps for a resurgent al-Qaida to move out of Pakistan and again occupy both sides of the border.
"It’s troubling,” Hoekstra added.
Obama and Afghan President Hamid Karzai agreed on Friday to speed up the handover of combat operations to Afghan forces to this spring. The move underscores Obama's determination to move decisively to wind down the long, unpopular war — the nation’s longest after the Vietnam War, which spanned nearly 20 years, beginning in 1955.
“The president and President Karzai are overstating the capabilities of the Afghans' security forces,” Hoekstra tells Newsmax. “Afghanistan is a very, very difficult region to govern and to control. To believe that they can take the lead in that part of the world, especially with no functioning Air Force, I think is unrealistic.”
The White House said earlier this week that no U.S. troops may be left in Afghanistan after next year — even more worrisome, Hoekstra said.
“What it does is it creates an opportunity, creates one more potential training and breeding ground for radical jihadists. They will move from Pakistan back into Afghanistan. They will occupy both countries. I don’t think the radical jihadists will try to control and take over Afghanistan — but, clearly, they will have a training ground. Whether they will use the results of the training and the preparation, that’s what we need to be concerned about.”
These moves do not necessarily signal that Obama’s “waving the white flag” on the war on terror in the region, “but, clearly, the president’s attempts to contain and defeat radical jihadism have not been very successful,” Hoekstra said. “This is just one more part of what is a strategy that makes America much more vulnerable.
“We see what’s going on in Northern Africa, we see what’s going on in other parts of the Middle East — and now we see that even in the areas where we’ve invested the most American resources to try to combat and defeat radical jihadism, the United States is now pulling out.
“With no troops left there, it really does become what it was 12 years ago, the Wild, Wild West. It is going to be a return to the pre-9/11 days.”
Turning his attention to Obama’s nominations to his national security team — Massachusetts Democratic Sen. John Kerry as Secretary of State, former GOP Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska as Defense Secretary, and John Brennan as director of the Central Intelligence Agency — Hoekstra said that all three should be confirmed by Congress.
“The president deserves his appointments. With Hagel and Brennan, I’ve got concerns about those nominations — but I don’t think Republicans and others who disagree with these appointments should be focused on the individual,” he said. “These are ethical individuals. They have served their country. They are there to carry out the president’s mission.
“We ought to be focusing on our disagreements with the president in terms of his national security and foreign-policy agenda and not necessarily on the individual. Don’t make this a fight about the individuals he’s nominated to these positions.”
And one such foreign-policy debacle that the GOP should be focused on is the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
Hoekstra, who is also an advisor to the Newsmax affiliate LIGNET.com, said he, too, was interested in hearing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s testimony on the assault on Jan. 22.
“Exactly, why did we have such a significant CIA presence in Benghazi? What activities were we actually involved in? Was it the shipping of arms and munitions from Libya into Syria to arm the rebels? Were we engaged in tracking — and perhaps detaining and interrogating, with the help of Libyan security forces — radical elements in Northern Libya?
“What was going on there? That is the key to understanding why the facilities were attacked in Benghazi and why the ambassador was killed.
“The other thing that we will find is that the individuals who attacked our facilities in Benghazi, ultimately, we will find that they were trained and received some equipment from NATO or American forces because they were part of the effort to overthrow [Muammar] Gaddafi,” Hoekstra added. “And after Gaddafi was overthrown, they turned against NATO and they turned against the United States. That shouldn’t be a surprise, but those are the kinds of things that need to come out into the open.
“And, then, we have to have an adult discussion about those things,” he concluded. “I don’t blame the president for those things, but those are the kinds of issues that we have to have an open and a forthright discussion about.
“The president and this administration have done a phenomenal job of keeping that information away from Congress and keeping that information away from the American people. I hope that Sen. [Lindsey] Graham and others in the Senate and in the House are successful in forcing the administration to give us that information.”

From Frontier Tent-Town To Crucial Trading Center: The Economic Growth of Walla Walla, Washington, From 1858 to 1900
This thesis seeks to contribute an analysis of the historical events that led to economic growth and development of Walla Walla, Washington, from the early 1800s to 1900. Various factors helped Walla Walla become established as an influential city in the Pacific Northwest. In this thesis, three major events that guided Walla Walla were studied. The first of these events came from the military influence of Fort Walla Walla, which helped set the foundations for the future city. The second event was the mining rushes through Washington, Idaho, and western Montana. Walla Walla stood as a key trading center for the region during the first two periods. In the late 1800s, Walla Walla experienced the last major event, the coming of the railroads to the Pacific Northwest. The railroads would change the course of Walla Walla?s fate as it entered the twentieth century. This thesis explores the influence Walla Walla had on the Pacific Northwest as the area grew from unorganized lands to territories and finally into the states of today. It also examines the city?s economic growth through each of the three events as it developed from a tent village into a recognized and historically significant city.

Michael Joshua has worked as a television script-writer since at least the early 1980s, when he scripted the Canadian telemovie A Matter of Cunning (co-written with American script-writer Robert Mann and directed by Alan Erlich.
By 1984, however, Joshua was writing for Australian television, with scripts for Prisoner, for which he wrote between 1984 and 1986. Joshua then moved on to The Flying Doctors (1987-1988) and Home and Away (1988-1989).
In the 1990s, Joshua wrote for long-running soap opera Neighbours (1994-1995) and judicial drama State Coroner (1998), but also began what would be a long-running and extensive involvement with Jonathan M. Shiff Productions, Australian television's most prolific producer of young-adult speculative-fiction television. Joshua wrote for Ocean Girl between 1994 and 1997, as well as acting as script editor for the series. He followed this with scripts for Thunderstone, Horace and Tina, and Pirate Islands, while also working as associate story editor on Thunderstone; story consultant, story editor, and script editor on Cybergirl(2001); and associate story editor on Wicked Science (2006).
He was also script editor for the twenty-six episodes of Parallax, a Western Australian produced children's fantasy program.
Since 2000, Joshua has contributed scripts to Something in the Air (2002), short-lived soap opera Headland (2006), and animated fantasy series Legend of Enyo (2010), as well as co-writing the short film Awkwardness with Nicole Klein.
'When fifteen year-old Zac goes camping on Mako Island, he has no idea his every move is being monitored by real-life mermaids Sirena, Nixie and Lyla, whose job it is to ward off trespassers. When he comes into contact with the magical waters of the Moon Pool on the night of a full moon, Zac is given a taste of Mako's powers, waking the next day to discover he has been granted fin-like feet and the power to control water…causing all sorts of trouble for Sirena, Nixie and Lyla.'
Home and Away is a television serial created by Alan Bateman and produced by the Seven Network. The idea for the series came to Bateman (then head of drama at Seven) after he stopped to buy ice-creams in a small country town in southern NSW. While chatting to some locals, he learned that the town was unhappy about plans to build a home for foster kids from the city. At that time, Channel Seven was still smarting from its decision to let Neighbours go to the Ten Network, where it had become hugely popular, and was looking to create another series to rival its success. Bateman saw in the idea that became Home and Away the potential for plenty of storylines and conflict by having streetwise city kids being relocated to a small regional environment,
In the beginning, the series focused on Pippa and Tom Fletcher, who, being unable to have children of their own, decide to become foster parents. When Tom is retrenched from his city job, the couple buy the rundown Summer Bay Caravan Park and move there with their five foster children. Soon after arriving, they also take in troublesome Bobby Simpson.
The series debuted in January 1988 with an hour-long telemovie. Although this rated well, the series itself took some while to develop an audience. Having learned their lesson from the Neighbours debacle, Network Seven gave its new show time, and its ratings gradually increased. As with Neighbours, the Home and Away series and performers became very popular in the United Kingdom.
A daily television drama series set in the fictional Melbourne suburb of Erinsborough, Neighbours chronicles the lives of the residents of Ramsay Street. The series initially revolved around three families: the Ramsays (at number 24 Ramsay Street), the Robinsons (at number 26), and the Clarkes (at number 28). The scope of the series has since broadened to include new Ramsay Street familes.

Let's just get to it, and meet today's card shall we?
It is a Dad's Day Card!! I stole (borrowed?, copied?) an idea I saw on the Paper Crafts blog, and another idea on Lawn Fawn's blog ... and joined the two. The Paper Crafts idea was using popsicle sticks as a wood background. Lawn Fawn had a cool typewriter with a message - and I figured Dad's like woodmaking, and they are also "old style" so I put them together. I stamped some paper clips from Lawn Fawn's Just My Type (as well as the typewriter), and created a custom sentiment from a combination of alphabets and stamp sets from Lawn Fawn.
I used some washi tape to anchor the "wood" and popped up the copic colored typewriter with pop-dots. The top part was a little bit empty, so I added one chevron strip from Lawn Fawn's Chevron Backdrops set.
I also stamped the inside, here is what I did:
This was pretty simple - I am still not the best as masculine cards, but I keep trying! Happy Father's Day!!!
Thanks for stopping by, have a magical day!

Microsoft Hopes Customers Forget the Past by Skipping to Windows 10
NEWS ANALYSIS: Microsoft makes the technical preview of Windows 10 available to anyone who dares to use it. But to borrow a concept from the Mythbusters cable show, don't try this at home. This is for experts.NEW YORK—The advent of Windows 10 took the press room at the Interop trade show here by storm. Partly because the show had reached an all-time level of boring, and partly because the news out of Microsoft was actually pretty important. But of course serious discussions didn’t start until we had our way with Microsoft. “Windows 10,” one wag said thoughtfully. “If it was Apple it would be ‘Windows X’ wouldn’t it?” He thought for a minute. “Say, we should call it Wind – X!” he said, chuckling to himself. I thought about the comparison between Microsoft’s major new announcement and a bottle of blue window cleaner. “It cleans Windows,” I said quietly, hoping no one would notice. Then more loudly, “I notice they skipped Windows 9.” Microsoft likely made a smart move in taking an extra-large leap to Windows 10. At least it won’t seem like a natural follow-on. There’ll be some space to help customers forget about what a dismal a failure Windows 8 was.
Windows 10 (or should we call it Wind–X?) may be Microsoft’s most important Windows update at least since Windows 7. The company suffered a significant black eye when enterprise users found that Windows 8 was such a huge productivity sink that most of them simply refused to buy it.

The Art of H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos
Not the big Centipede Press book, but the one collecting a lot of the gaming art. It went out of print fairly quickly and seems to fetch a dear price now, but frpgames.com seems to have a fair quantity at the original price (or less). Thought I'd pass that along, and ask what folks thought of the book in general. Hope this doesn't violate a posting rule.
