Roxbury's Tiny Library Gets a "Pot"

State of the Arts

The Roxbury Free Library - all 450 square feet of it - was erected as a tearoom back in the 1920s. Its patrons must have had good bladder control, because the builders never bothered to equip the place with a bathroom. It became the town's library in 1934, and since then readers who like to linger in the stacks have had to get creative about answering nature's call. Some ducked behind a snow bank; others used the water closets next door, at the Roxbury Union Congregational Church.

That's about to change. With support from donations and students from Norwich University's School of Architecture and Art, the "wi-fi library without a pot to piss in," as librarian Susan D'Amico dubs it, will soon have indoor plumbing. It's a bit of a tragedy to lose that poetic description, but the growing number of people who borrow books and attend the Roxbury Free's 40-odd special programs every year won't mind a bit.

According to trustee Chris Dorer, 31, the addition of a bathroom has "been talked about for a long time," but getting the funding for the job was the enduring challenge. Then Arthur Schaller, a member of the library's book club and the dean of the School of Architecture and Art, suggested that the project would be perfect for his third- and fourth-year students.

In addition to the 15 students - most of them female - donating their time this spring, the library was able to raise $21,000 from town residents and secure a $15,000 grant from the Vermont Arts Council. That sounds like a hefty sum for a restroom, but once the students dug into the project, they discovered that much of the library's substructure was rotten, owing to the high water table. So they moved all the books to the church, then hoisted up the library to replace the posts, sills and floor joists.

As it happens, the addition will include more than a bathroom; at 240 square feet, it will provide much-needed space for boots and coats, a kitchenette, and a big window to let natural light illuminate a couple of new chairs and tables.

Having an eager bunch of students on the project definitely saved the town money, but when the semester ended last week, so did progress on the addition. Dorer says the library may hire a Norwich student over the summer to finish the exterior - all it needs is siding and roof shingles - but the trustees still must raise about $10,000 before the arts council grant is released. Meanwhile, D'Amico is collecting both donations and contractor bids for the electrical work, insulation and heating.

D'Amico, the "head and only librarian," is looking forward to having more space for daily comforts like coffee, which she has been making on a chair beside an electrical outlet. She notes that the new addition will make the library accessible to people with disabilities, too.

That means even more people can congregate at this social hub of Roxbury, population 576. Besides the usual fare - story hour and book discussions - the library has tacked on a host of popular nighttime programs: basket weaving and spoon carving; a talk by Civil War historian Howard Coffin; and a screening of Edward Pincus' new documentary about Hurricane Katrina, The Axe in the Attic.

"It's a very small library," Dorer concedes, "but it offers so much."

Son Little on Working with the Roots, RJD2 and Mavis Staples | Music Feature | Seven Days | Vermont's Independent Voice

Seven Days needs your financial support!

Son Little on Working with the Roots, RJD2 and Mavis Staples

click to enlarge Son Little - COURTESY OF ANTHONY SAINT JAMES

  • Son Little

In a 2015 interview with music blog Sound of Boston, neo-R&B artist Son Little was asked to describe his sound without using genre descriptors. He came up with "futurist talking drum." Though it sounds like hot nonsense, the description does hold water. His songwriting is rooted in classic R&B, blues, and rock and roll. But ultramodern production, including the liberal use of vocal processing, hefty synthesizers and drum machine, brings his music into the 21st century. As for "talking drum," Little's songwriting often begins simply with a beat.

Born Aaron Livingston, his moniker derives from a play on his surname. After a friend repeatedly mispronounced it "Littleson," Livingston became Little Son and evolved into Son Little when he decided to pursue music as a solo artist.

Though Livingston was born in Los Angeles and came of age in New York City, the multi-instrumentalist started his music career while attending Temple University in Philadelphia, the city he now calls home. During his college days, a chance encounter at a recurring jam session set Livingston on a path to musical prosperity. He's written songs for Mavis Staples, produced for hip-hop artist Hezekiah and worked with RJD2 on a joint project called Icebird. This was all after making his debut appearance on the Roots' 2004 record The Tipping Point. He released his self-titled debut album in 2015 on Anti- records.

Son Little and his band perform on Friday, January 27, at Signal Kitchen in Burlington. Howard and locals Bleach Day add support. Seven Days recently caught up with Livingston by phone.

SEVEN DAYS: What's on your plate for 2017?

  • Courtesy of Anthony Saint James

SON LITTLE: I'm working on album two right now. I'm in LA this week, doing some writing for a bunch of different people. No real plan for what it's for. I'm really excited to delve deeper into some of the relationships I've forged in the past couple of years. Because I was touring so heavily, there really wasn't much time to develop anything beyond maybe a song here or a song there.

Famous last words here, but I'm hoping that between when the record is done and touring to support it that I'm able to do some of that kind of stuff. I'm hesitant to believe that that's possible.

SD: When Seven Days interviewed Mavis Staples in 2015, she had a lot of great things to say about you. How was that experience for you?

SL: What I'll always remember is that, when she got up to sing [in the studio], she said, "Are you coming?" I said, "Coming where?" And she brought me into the vocal booth with her. I stood there, holding her hand while she tracked the vocals. The first note that she sang — you wouldn't expect a sound like that to come out of someone that small. I jumped, because I was so startled. I could never forget that. It's just an amazing gift that she has, both her voice and her personality and her energy that she gives off. It's really incredible and powerful.

SD: How did you originally connect with the Roots?

SL: When I think back to it, it's kind of confusing to me. I had moved to Philadelphia and was going to school at Temple [University]. A lot of the people involved with the Roots are also affiliated with Temple. A friend of mine told me, "You've got to come out to this jam session." At the time, I was playing quite a bit of bass.

I was at one of these jam sessions, and the bass player got tired. I volunteered myself. A lot of times at these jam sessions, people switch off while the music was still going. While I was playing the bass, I looked up and Questlove was on the drums. I was blown away by that. I [then] met Richard Nichols, their longtime manager, who passed away a couple years ago.

A lot of things with that group happen very organically. They're really good at fostering new talent. I don't know where I would be without that relationship, with [Nichols] especially. They really encouraged me and helped me build confidence in what I was doing.

SD: What are some things you've learned from working with other artists?

SL: One thing I really enjoyed about [the Icebird project] was the fact that [RJD2] was very open to me interpreting it, taking things away from it ... reimagining parts of it. There's something to be said for the ability to make wholesale changes in things, or to start completely over. That's a major part of the process for most of the people I've worked with — holding onto the possibility that there might be a different way to do something.

SD: Your most recently released song, "All Wet," is actually an older song, correct?

SL: Yeah, a little bit. It was this song that we'd played a lot of times, and it felt wrong that it wasn't out there for people to listen to. When it came time to decide what was going to be part of [Son Little] and what wasn't, it just didn't quite fit in there for me.

At the same time, we were gigging pretty hard, [and] we were playing it all the time. I think there was video footage of us playing "All Wet" at [the University of Pennsylvania radio station] WXPN, but I never told them the name of the song. When they put the video up, it said "Untitled" on it. We were in London at one point, and this guy at the back of the room yelled out, "Play 'Untitled'!" I thought he was talking about the D'Angelo song.

SD: It goes without saying that 2016 was a tumultuous year. Did any events of 2016 inspire any songwriting?

SL: I find it really difficult to write on the road. As hard as I may try to get writing stuff done, I wasn't able to do much [in 2016]. One of the ways I cope with my existence is writing things down and getting my feelings out that way. Being on the road so much, and not having the comfort of home and being in the studio, made it very difficult for me to emotionally deal with what was happening.

In August, when we came home [from tour], I had one song. At the end of October, I had 10. I think everything I've written in the past couple of months is sort of colored by the experiences of the past year.

SD: Will any of those songs appear on your next album?

SL: Some of them, absolutely.

SD: What's something you could never live without? And it can't be related to making music.

SL: I like to figure stuff out. This might be a weird answer, but: hunger to understand stuff. Puzzles. Maybe not a literal puzzle, but sort of ... questions to be answered.

The Centers for Disease Control and Disease Prevention report that more than 200,000 children 14 and younger are treated in emergency rooms each year. While playground safety has improved significantly in recent decades, playground accidents continue to occur, sometimes with serious consequences for victims. The injuries that kids can sustain may range from mild to severe, and in the most serious cases may even result in the long-term medical problems.  When these accidents are caused by negligence on the part of the school or the individuals who are have the responsibility of supervising playing children, victims may be able to recover for their losses. To learn whether you may have a legal claim, you should consult with a Brooks personal injury attorney as soon as possible.

Examples of Playground Negligence

In the context of a personal injury claim, “negligence” refers to a party’s to use the same level of care that would be used by a reasonable party under the same or similar circumstances. If this seems unclear, you are not alone; personal injury lawyers build careers arguing about what negligence is in different circumstances. Some examples of conduct or circumstances that may be considered negligence in the context of a playground accident include:

  • Exposed hardware

  • Failure to adequately supervise children

  • Improperly secured equipment

  • Improper material used on playground surfaces

  • Playgrounds constructed unreasonably close to other objects or buildings

These are just some examples of the types of issues that may give playground accident victims a right to bring a lawsuit. Discussing your case with an attorney is the first step to take to make sure your child is fairly compensated for his or her injuries.

Contact a Brooks personal injury attorney to schedule a free consultation

If your child has been injured in a playground accident, he or she may be entitled to significant financial compensation. The attorneys of Shane Smith Law are dedicated to helping children injured in playground accidents recover for their losses. We work hard to ensure that each client we represent gets the compensation that he or she deserves. To schedule a free consultation with one of our Brooks personal injury attorneys, call our office today at (770) 487-8999.

About Lish

Here's my story on how and why I started my fitness journey. During my pregnancy in 2011, I gained 44 pounds. After giving birth to my son, I was very unhappy with my body. I had only dropped 13 pounds. A month or two later, I dropped 10 more pounds but was still overweight for my height. I tried being patient, thinking the weight would continue to drop but two years later I was still missing my pre-baby weight, which was 149 pounds. I was determined to reshape my body. I began by changing my eating habits. I became vegan and exercised a few days a week. I lost body fat, gained muscle and went down to 143 pounds. It was then when I developed a passion for health & fitness . Today I am 159 pounds, just 1 pound away from my goal weight. I knew there were women just like me who wanted to reshape their bodies after pregnancy. I created SHAPED in 2016 and have been helping women regain confidence and love for themselves. My goal is to reach as many women as I possibly can, building a sisterhood every step of the way.

What is SHAPED ?

About Cherryville, NC - Happy to be your hometown Heating & Air Conditioning Contractor!

Cherryville, North Carolina is a small city found in Gaston County. It is located about 13 miles northwest of Gastonia and 40 miles west of Charlotte. As of 2017, nearly 6,000 people called this community home, and while some travel to larger communities to work, there are plenty of employment opportunities within the city limits. The largest employers here include Keystone Powdered Metal Company, FleetNet America, and Bradington-Young Furniture Company. The Public School System – Gaston County Schools – is another major employer and includes Cherryville High School.

There are plenty of things to see and do in Cherryville. History enthusiasts interested in learning more about the area may like to visit the Cherryville Historical Museum, and the C. Grier Beam Truck Museum interprets the history of Carolina Freight carriers and freight trucking in the region. Visitors who would like to try a local wine should check out Fiddler’s Vineyard, while specialty shops in the area include The Great Outdoors and Victoria-Cole Gifts & Collectibles. The City of Cherryville also maintains seven parks, two mini parks, a community center, a skate park, and a municipal auditorium.

Whether living in or traveling to Cherryville, it is important to know what to expect for the weather. The spring season is warm and rainy, and it will lead to a hot and humid summer. Temperatures frequently surpass 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and the air tends to feel muggy. It is important that residents invest in the right climate controls at home to stay cool. In the last decade, central air conditioners that received an Energy Star rating have become 30-40% more efficient. In Cherryville homes, this can equate to cost savings and more consistent cooling throughout a space.

During the winter months, a gas or electric furnace is a necessity for Cherryville residents. Snowfall may be minimal, but cool to freezing temperatures can lead to dangerous conditions. The right furnace at home and regular maintenance with a qualified HVAC specialist can ensure that residents stay warm throughout the season.

the history and style of the leather motorcycle biker jacket

by：Max Apparel     2020-08-31
The history of leather motorcycle jackets when people think of leather motorcycle jackets, many times the picture that comes to their mind is a burly motorcyclist who tore down the interstate on Harley-Davidson.
Although many years ago, this picture may not be far from the truth, there has been an absolute change in the Times.
Cyclists still swear on their leather motorcycle jackets and put them on for fashion and extra protection, but more notice the cut and fit of this popular style, take it
Motorcycle enthusiasts have enjoyed this leather motorcycle jacket since it first appeared on site in the 19 th century.
These jackets provide the rider with extra protection if something happens on the road while separating them for the daily Joe.
The jacket style soon became popular, and soon motorcyclists everywhere were wearing these jackets, which the company began to produce on a large scale in the 1940 s and 1930 s.
Short, Indian and Harley-Davidson all saw the need for these amazing jackets and started designing and selling them in their store.
Motorcyclists have fashion names such as the bike champion, the bike Queen, the Ranger, and Langer, and they notice this leather motorcycle jacket, which is useful.
As a result, sales continued to rise and motorcycle jackets had a place in the history of fashion.
The vintage or antique leather motorcycle Max woman jacketwe now think was initially not just made of cowhide.
In the 1940 s, except for the cowhide, it was not uncommon to find these jackets made of horse leather.
One of the most popular leather motorcycle designs, Perfecto, was made from horse leather when it first went public in late 1940.
Leather motorcycle jacket styling and fit whether it\'s the first leather motorcycle jacket you \'ve ever had or the jacket you previously owned, one of the most important things besides the style you choose is you
The size has changed over the years.
Now the 6 th of women is originally the 14 th of 1970.
So you need to know and do something in order to get the perfect figure.
Each manufacturer will have a size chart for you to view to make sure you get the right size.
You will want to make these measurements on your body with the help of another person to make sure the measurements are correct: chest measurements-
If you like your motorcycle jacket tighter then measure it when you call out and relax.
If you like a looser figure, take a deep breath while measuring.
You will want to measure the widest part of your rib.
Sleeve measurement-
This measurement is from where the shoulder meets the top arm to where you want the cuffs to end on your wrist. Waist-
This size is your natural waist, the top of your jeans is for men and women, and this is where your waist is bent inward.
Make these measurements and then compare them with the manufacturer\'s size chart, which should give you the exact size of the leather motorcycle jacket you want.
The leather motorcycle jacket is the same as it said today, and for anyone who wants to buy a jacket, the leather motorcycle jacket is a welcome cut.
Leather motorcycle jacket says you are always stylish and trendy but you like things that are not out of date.
This jacket distinguishes the wearer from the wearer of other stylish jackets.
It\'s no secret that these jackets are attractive to them.
Most people find a leather motorcycle jacket a bit mysterious and curious about the person wearing it.
Not everyone can take off the jacket in this style, but if you are bold, free, stylish then it may fit you.
Arguably the most famous leather motorcycle jacket in the world, the most famous leather motorcycle Max woman jacketin history is the New York short Perfecto 618.
The jacket set off a leather motorcycle boom in the mid-19th century, when Malone Brando wore it in 1953 movies Wild.
The film is about a bad boy motorcycle gang leader named Johnny Strabler, played by Brando.
Johnny rode his motorcycle into a small town in California for a motorcycle race, and one of his gang members finally stole the second trophy.
They made quite a bit of trouble while they were there, and then were ordered out of town by local law enforcement.
Brando\'s perfect leather motorcycle jacket was lost somewhere.
It seems that no one knows if it still exists or if it is hidden in a place that is hoped to be found later.
If it comes out and can be certified, having it will be a dream for a collector of vintage motorcycle jackets.

Training Shih Tzu

training shih tzuYou may remember that I posted recently about the Shih Tzu dog’s capability to act as a hearing dog for a deaf person? I thought you may like to learn a little bit more about the training this little dog goes through, in order to become such an invaluable part in the life of a disabled person. If so read on to find out what we cover when training Shih Tzu to fulfill such an important role.

Training Shih Tzu’s to Be Social
The first thing the dog needs is social training. The Shih Tzu as a breed excels at this because he is such a sweet and social little dog. Whether he is rescued as an adult or carefully selected and socialized as a puppy training Shih Tzu dogs to be social is just a matter of finely tuning their already immaculate social airs and graces.

The dog will spend some time in social training which includes wearing a special jacket and wandering around shops, on and off public transport and even going out to bars and restaurants. Because he is a cute and attractive little soul the Shih Tzu needs to learn to accept all kinds of unsolicited attention. The little dog usually loves this side of his training.

Basic Manners for the Shih Tzu in Training
Another area that a hearing dog must excel is in basic manners. Training Shih Tzu dogs to be well mannered in areas such as jumping up, coming back when called and not pulling on the leash is vital when preparing him to fill the role of a hearing dog. Many deaf recipients are new to dog ownership and need their dog to be well behaved and easy to handle. The Shih Tzu will learn good manners easily when in the hands of an experienced dog trainer and as long as he is motivated these manners will certainly transfer towards his recipient.

Sound and the Training Shih Tzu
The Shih Tzu is matched to his recipient early on and will be trained to alert them to each sound in the household that the dog will join. This takes a few months to perfect and by the end of the training period the Shih Tzu can alert his recipient to the door, the phone, the smoke alarm and cooker timer plus any other sound that the deaf person may need to respond to.

Training Shih Tzu dogs to respond to sounds is a fun way to spend the working day. All dog breeds are different and whilst a dog such as the Labrador asks no questions and will do anything for the idea of a treat, the Yorkie is determined and needs careful handling, the Shih Tzu needs a certain type of motivational training.

If you live with this amazing breed you will know, that unless it’s worth his while, training Shih Tzu dogs can be frustrating. So, sound training with the Shih Tzu needs to be a careful mix of clicker training, building confidence and the lure of an ever exciting reward. When you get this just right the Shih Tzu will excel in everything that he does.

The American Dental Association recommends that you have a routine dental exam and cleaning performed twice each year by a professional dentist. This basic appointment is designed to clean away hardened bacterial deposits from your teeth while also detecting any early signs of oral health conditions. This includes identifying early signs of gum disease or newly developing cavities. If Dr. Milad Nourahmadi notices an area of tooth decay forming on one of your teeth, they might recommend repairing it with a simple dental filling.

This treatment process calls for a secondary appointment which starts with your dentist numbing the tooth and surrounding gums to keep you comfortable while they repair the tooth. We will then use a special dental drill to remove all compromised areas of tooth enamel.

Composite fillings are created from a special type of dental resin that can be shaded to mimic the appearance of natural tooth enamel. Amalgam fillings are made from a blend of dental grade metals. They are dark in color and known for being durable. This makes them a better choice for repairing a cavity on a molar or premolar that doesn’t appear in your smile.

After applying the specific dental filling material Dr. Nourahmadi will use a special ultraviolet light to harden and adhere it to the surrounding dental structure.

If you live in Bolingbrook, Franklin Park, Joliet, Naperville, Plainfield, Riverside, and Wheaton, Illinois, and you suspect a cavity has developed on one of your teeth, you should call 630-972-4010 to schedule a dental exam at the dental offices of Shining Smiles LLC. Let us help you get your best smile yet!

Chelsea are interested in signing Barcelona star, Ivan Rakitic, according to Spanish outlet Sport.

The London side are reportedly eying a move for the Croatia international to fill the gap left by Cesc Fabregas who joined Monaco this month.

The 30-year-old midfielder has been influential for Barcelona since his move in 2014 and has played a key role in the Catalan club winning multiple trophies.

However, the Spanish side have recently signed Frenkie De Jong from Ajax for £75million who, despite not joining until the summer, could take Rakitic’s place in the squad.

This might make the midfielder open to a move in the summer, with Chelsea showing an interest in the player.

Chelsea are currently fourth in the Premier League but are only three points ahead of both fifth and sixth placed Arsenal and Manchester United.

With the current form of United, who have won their last eight games with new manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær, Chelsea may feel under pressure to finalise the deal to secure a top-four spot.

The Blues have already signed Gonzalo Higuain who has come in for out of form forward Alvaro Morata.

On a day of torrential rain and a wind strong enough to knock you off your feet, good hospitality and quality game shooting in Devon overcame the conditions.

As a sporting journalist it can be easy to lose sight of the real world.

When visiting some of the largest and most successful shoots the UK has to offer, inevitably populated by the successful and the powerful, it can be difficult not to be overawed by numbers.

We see thousands of acres of sporting rights, estates covering great swathes of the country and mind-boggling numbers of birds, all of which could easily come to be seen as the norm.

Of course, all of us are privileged to be able to take part in the sport that we love, but it is essential that we keep sight of what lies at the heart of shooting; not big bags and target practice, but a love of the great outdoors and good company.

I have yet to visit a shoot where friendship and love of our countryside, and a determination to conserve both, have not been at the heart of all they do. The Tarrant shoot on the Eastbury estate in Dorset is no exception.

Covering just under 2,000 acres, the shoot is based around the sporting potential of two valleys deep in the county’s rolling countryside, and is host to a very committed syndicate.

Eastbury Park was at one time a large estate owned by George Dodington, a founding governor of the Bank of England.

He employed the architect Sir John Vanbrugh, famous for his work on Castle Howard and Blenheim Palace, to design him a grand house, which he never lived to see.

Today the estate is owned by the Farquharson family, who acquired it as part of the purchase of some 23,000 acres in the late 18th century.

Only the west wing of the house now remains, a visible reminder on some of the drives of the Tarrant shoot of a grand past.

The estate has been farmed in-hand since the 1930s, and much of the woodland and scrub areas were cleared by ex-US army Sherman tanks and commandos as part of Britain’s post-war food production drive. Over the last 20 years, however, shooting and conservation have been significant elements in the estate’s plans.

The current owners partake in various stewardship schemes and have embarked on a programme to rejuvenate the estate’s many mature woods.

Tarrant 2Realising potential

Shoot captain and headkeeper William Nobles has a passion for conservation and a desire to develop a sustainable shoot.

The work he has undertaken to manage the land, including work on field margins and hedgerows, has had a great effect on wild grey partridge numbers.

In 2009 the shoot started working with the GWCT, joining the Grey Partridge Award Scheme and releasing several coveys of greys onto the estate.

Aided by underkeeper Sam Trickey, William rears French partridges from day-olds and pheasants from poults.

Together with a dedicated team of beaters drawn in from the local area, they aim to present plenty of sporting birds which allow the guns to select those that will “live on in the memory”.

William is a skilled keeper, creating a shoot that uses the natural assets of the estate to great effect.

But he is also ambitious and is keen for the shoot to expand.

The terrain is ideal for shooting. Nestling just outside the small village of Tarrant Gunville on the Dorset/Wiltshire border, it is blessed with rolling arable countryside and deep valleys.

There is relatively little woodland, but with all the farming being in-hand the planting of cover crops can be closely controlled for the shoot’s benefit, and over 100 acres of cover crops are planted each season.

The Tarrant shoot’s drives are based around two large valleys that run away from the large farmyard which acts as its hub.

William has developed over 30 drives, allowing for shooting in a variety of conditions.

Syndicate days are for 150-200 birds, with an average of 175, but the shoot offers much more.

A team of eight or nine guns can have a full 100 bird driven day for £3,000, or 150-200 bird driven days for £31 per bird, both inclusive of hospitality.

The shoot also offers ‘walk one, stand one’ days of around 50-100 birds at £25 a bird, and walked-up boundary days for smaller teams at £150 a gun.

Last season the estate shot 40 driven days, the syndicate shooting every Tuesday and Saturday.

When I visited we were struck by some of the worst conditions I have ever had the misfortune to experience a day’s shooting in.

William’s skills were robustly tested, and it is a credit to all concerned that good birds were produced – and good birds taken – in spite of horizontal rain and a foul wind.

Tarrant 3A cock pheasant bursts from cover at the urging of the beaters.

High spirits

The Tarrant shoot syndicate is run by club secretary Barrie Taylor, whose charm and easy manner set an example followed by all the guns.

This collective spirit was a great pleasure to experience. Many of the guns had brought their partners with them, and all were keen to catch up and share shooting stories over a mug of coffee in the syndicate’s shoot room.

Complete with a dedicated kitchen and bar, the shoot room is where the day begins and where the guns take lunch and supper.

It was a welcome and warming sight on this particular day, not least because of the tremendous food.

Supplied by William’s fiancée Emily, described by the guns as “the star of the show”, we were treated to thick soup and sausages at lunch and a rich game casserole followed by chocolate tart for supper.

Emily’s energy and enthusiasm, just like that displayed by Barrie and William, is infectious: “We pay particular attention to eating here. I just cook what I know, and I know what boys need when they’re cold. Everyone loves good, honest English food.

“We like to use a bit of our own game where possible, but otherwise I will always support local business for all the produce we use. We have good people who shoot here; it’s just a big social gathering really. I love it.”

This love is obviously shared by all involved with the Tarrant shoot, conversation buzzing throughout the day, even when soaked to the skin.

A regular visitor, Peter Shaw, describes the hospitality as “flawless”, and it really is very difficult to disagree with him. Especially on a full stomach.

The shooting was testing, both due to the quality of the birds and the weather, and the guns took their opportunities where possible.

Unfortunately early in the day there was simply no wind; perhaps because the birds could sense the impending storm.

This behaviour was unusual – more than one gun noted that the birds weren’t flying as they would have expected.

When the rain did come it was so severe that those birds which could be encouraged from their hiding places by an experienced stick were absolutely sodden.

By the end of the day the skies had cleared, but the birds were still reluctant to fly.

That being said, each drive did present some excellent high birds, with particularly impressive flushes coming at their climax.

Tarrant 4Guns and beaters make their way between drives.

This was entirely down to William’s meticulous planning and the hard work of the beating team, whose weary faces at the end of the day illustrated their efforts.

The final bag was 128 head, comprising 67 pheasants, 59 partridges and two pigeon, and the guns were delighted to have persevered through terrible conditions and had a full day’s shooting. All stayed long into the evening, enjoying their supper and one another’s company.

For me, this was a timely reminder of what shooting should really be about. Not simply the challenge and excitement of shooting, but the real pleasure of good company.

How PureCam Footage Could Help Recover Your Stolen Car

The PureCam car security system uses 24-hour video surveillance of the inside and outside of your vehicle, combined with a built-in GPS. Video recordings are stored on the device's SD card and uploaded to cloud storage. These recordings and GPS data can be accessed through your PureCam app and used to help locate your vehicle.

How PureCam Footage Could Help Recover Your Stolen Car

Law enforcement members have long used dash cameras to help catch criminals. Now that technology is readily available to civilians, as well. In the event your car is ever stolen, having the PureCam dash cam from PureGear is like having your own personal investigator. And unlike investigators who have to request overtime, PureCam is always on duty, whether your car is parked or on the move.

Powerful dual dash cameras

The PureCam dashboard camera has two cameras for recording. The interior-facing camera can capture video of whoever stole your car. This camera can record in 720p and has infra-red night vision.

The exterior-facing camera, which records in 1080p, 720p, and VGA, can reveal where your car is. PureCam takes emergency videos ranging from 16 to 30 seconds long, and it can save about 80 minutes of recorded video when the outside camera is set at 1080P. (Or up to 250 minutes at a lower resolution.)

You can view either camera via live streaming using the app on your smart device. If there is ever an accident – and that would include a thief breaking the window to get inside your vehicle – PureCam will automatically upload emergency video to the cloud over a fast 4G LTE network connection. If the car camera G-sensor detects movement twice in 15 seconds, it will wake up your PureCam and start recording. It will record for 5 minutes then return to Silent Mode, unless another incident is triggered. If it is, the emergency video will be uploaded, a Push Notification will be sent to you and an email will be sent to your Emergency Contacts.

That means your PureCam may be able to alert you to a theft even before you realize your car is missing, thereby notifying the police immediately and increasing the likelihood of it being recovered more quickly.

Retrieving images – aka evidence

The dash cameras are one of the most impressive features of the PureCam, but taking videos isn’t all. Being able to retrieve those images is crucial. PureCam stores videos in the cloud. You can also take a screenshot of streaming video, creating a single photo.

If you need to save the videos or photos permanently, such as for the police or your insurance company, you can upload them to your computer. This forever documentation is a powerful persuader to add that to your car camera system purchase. Aside from theft, having access to those images can protect you or a loved one who can’t prove details of an accident. And if your car is stolen and the thieves disabled the PureCam device, they can’t access the video footage already stored over the cloud.

And if you ever lose your phone, your access to your PureCam isn’t lost, too. You can download the app to multiple Android or iOS smart devices and regain access to all your photos and videos.

GPS can track your vehicle

The built-in GPS helps you quickly find your car if it’s stolen (or in a less serious instance of you forgetting where you parked). The GPS coordinates from the GPS sensor is accessible through your PureCam app. Just press the Location Pin icon under My PureCam on your app. Again, this is a helpful part of your car camera that can inform the police of the last known location of your vehicle.

What's so special about the sterling breed?

Quick Facts

About Silvers

Recognized in the United States in three colors: black, brown, fawn.

Allowed adult weight: 4-7 pounds. Average weight between 4.5 and 6.

Short, snappy flyback coat and rock-solid flesh condition.

Babies born solid colored, silvering develops with age.

One of the original breeds recognized by forerunner of the ARBA in 1910. Known in England since the sixteenth century.

Needs the support of willing breeders!

The Silver is one of the oldest breeds of domestic rabbit, dating back to at least the 1500's.  Before the colonization of the New World, the Silver grey was kept in warrens in England, possibly introduced there from Portugal by Sir Walter Raleigh.  Some references say that Portugese sailors brought Silver rabbits there from Siam*.  Early to arrive on the American shores, the Silver was one of the original breeds to be recognized by the American Rabbit Breeders Association (then called the National Pet Stock Association) when it was founded in 1910.  Their presence in America certainly pre-dates the "Belgian Hare Boom" of 1900, when the rabbit fancy took off in this country.

Today, the Silver is raised in three varieties: black, brown, and fawn.  Many other countries around the world recognize a Silver rabbit of some sort, but the original type is only found in the United States and the United Kingdom.  It is a rare breed in both countries.  One look at the Silver reveals its ancient heritage.  There are no other breeds left that retain the Renaissance body type.

The Silver is a fairly small rabbit, usually weighing 5-6 pounds when full grown.  It has a unique athletic type and active disposition.  The name "Silver" comes from the silver-white hairs and hair-tips distributed evenly throughout the short snappy coat. The Silver is often confused with a breed called the Silver Fox.  We have a page where you can learn the differences between the breeds. You will see that the only common feature is their color!

#1 New York Times bestselling phenomenon Vince Flynn delivers a white-knuckled rollercoaster ride of a novel featuring “the best hero the thriller genre has to offer” (The Real Book Spy) as Mitch Rapp wages a war against a new enemy with the help of a fellow soldier as dedicated—and as lethal—as they come.

Counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp and his colleague Mike Nash may have finally met their match. The CIA has intercepted two terrorist cells, but a third—led by a dangerous mastermind determined to become al-Qaeda’s new leader—is believed to be on the loose. With such a terrifyingly deadly enemy out there, Rapp needs the best of the best by his side and he believes he has that with Nash.

Together, they have made careers out of meeting violence with extreme violence and have never wavered in the top-secret fight against the war on terrorism. Both have been forced to lie to virtually every single person they care about, and both have soldiered on with the knowledge that their lethal tactics have saved thousands of lives. But certain leaders on Capitol Hill are pushing to have men like Rapp and Nash put on a short leash. And then one spring afternoon in Washington, DC, everything changes.

With nonstop action and ripped-from-the-headlines writing, Extreme Measures is the political thriller of our time and proves once again that, “in the world of black-ops thrillers, Mitch Rapp continues to be among the best of the best” (Booklist, starred review).

Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box

February 2009

Electronic Arts

Criterion Games

Web Artist & Designer (Criterion Games Website)
Producer, Presenter & Editor (Crash TV Video Podcast)
Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box (Criterion Games Website)

In April of 2006 I transferred from the Harry Potter team at Electronic Arts’ UK Studio to their Criterion Games studio in Guildford – home of the excellent first person shooter game BLACK and the BURNOUT series of driving games. It was a great opportunity to join a new team, hook up with some old friends that I hadn’t worked with for a very long time and to get involved with projects the likes of which I hadn’t worked on before.

As sometimes happens in the games industry, you find yourself working hard on projects that ultimately never get published. Whether the studio you’re working in changes its focus, the project doesn’t work out exactly how you’d hoped it would, or due to financial reasons, the fact of life is that sometimes projects get shelved. And, for me, in my first year-and-a-half at Criterion, despite many hours of non-stop, and immensely enjoyable work, none of the projects that I worked on made it to the shelves.

Early in 2008, myself and my Producer buddy, Jeremy Chubb were asked to take on the online efforts at Criterion. After the release of the open-world driving game, Burnout Paradise, the Criterion website and all things associated were in need of some attention. It was a welcome change of direction and an opportunity to try out something new (since apart from this site, I’d never done anything else with the web), so Jez and I set about wading into the world of the Internet.

In addition to creating and reporting stories on our news blog, one of my roles was to take on the job of web engineer/designer, and, over the course of the year, I found myself doing a whole heap of stuff including rebuilding the Criterion website twice (which thanks to the wonders of the Wayback Machine – this is the version of the Criterion Games website that I worked on – Christmas 2008.) (The two redesigns came about as we experimented and learned more about what the site needed, with the second version looking clean and slick to reflect the new Criterion look.)

The second, cleaner looking version of the post-Burnout Paradise Criterion website

In addition to the site, I worked on the launch of Crash TV – Criterion’s video podcast. Rolling up my sleeves in those early weeks when we knew nothing about podcast production I became a cameraman, editor, special effects guy and co-presenter. It proved to be a lot of work, but we managed to get the programme out regularly every Friday and in early summer, saw it rise to the #1 slot in the iTunes Games and Hobbies slot.

The Burnout Paradise Network as it appeared within the game.

My final project at Criterion involved the design and implementation of the Criterion Games Network – a social network/live web page accessible both from the PC.and the front end of Burnout Paradise on the PlayStation 3 and PC. This finally went live in February 2009 bringing Facebook-like functionality for players of Burnout Paradise allowing them to compare statistics and receive live news updates from the Burnout Team. The work we did on the Burnout Paradise Network helped in laying the groundwork for the creation of ‘Autolog’ – the socially connected centre of Criterion’s subsequent award-winning title Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit.

Having spent 13 years working away from home, in January 2009 I made the tough decision to leave Criterion Games and find a place of work closer to my family. The team gave me a wonderful send-off, which made leaving much more difficult.

Four days after leaving Criterion, I began working at Eurocom in Derby – a chance to renew friendships from my time working with them on Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets as well as some old faces from my time at Core Design many years before.

Dr. Guarín was awarded the prestigious Family Physician of the Year Award from the American Academy of Family Physicians in Iowa in 2017. He was also nominated for the American Academy of Family Physicians’ Physician of the Year national award in 2018.

Esgar Guarín, MD (Dr. G)

Dr. Guarín (pronounced goo-ah-reen) is a board certified physician trained in Maternal, Child and Reproductive Health. He was originally trained in Colombia at the Universidad de Santander – UDES, graduating at the top of his class. After getting certified as a foreign physician through the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG), he completed his training in Family Medicine in Baltimore, MD in 2009 at the Franklin Square Hospital Medical Center.

After serving as Chief Resident. Dr. Guarín completed a two year fellowship training in Maternal and Child Health (Pregnancy and Newborn Care) with the Department of Family Medicine at Brown University and the School of Public Health in Rhode Island.

Always interested in the provision of reproductive services, particularly those of minimally invasive nature, Dr. Guarín had the privilege of training in the non-scalpel / no-needle vasectomy technique with renowned Dr. Doug Stein in 2012. Since then Dr. Guarín has been performing his SimpleVas® Vasectomy technique with similar outcomes to those of his mentor.

As a board-certified Family Medicine specialist, dedicated to the practice of Reproductive Care, Dr. Guarin is committed to the promotion of vasectomies as the most effective method of permanent sterilization.

Why Do I Do Vasectomies?

For me it has been very simple: Because of the FAMILY.

  • 1. We owe it to women, but also to ourselves

  • 2. We owe it to our children

  • 3. Empowerment of men, women, and families

We owe it to women, but also to ourselves

It is very clear that it has been easier, from the medical standpoint, to control the release of a single egg from an ovary every month than it is to try to control millions of spermatozoa being produced on a daily basis in the testicles. Thus, women have had to deal with a bigger burden when it comes to contraception, as the vast majority of available options are targeted to them. Even reproductive campaigns are almost always directed to females and rarely to men.

When the time comes for a permanent solution, men can certainly step up to the plate and choose to participate responsibly with a vasectomy; a procedure that is definitely LESS INVASIVE and slightly MORE EFFECTIVE than a tubal ligation.

We owe it to women to become active participants in permanent reproductive decisions. As they have already had their fair share in bearing children, we owe it to them to not have to carry an even heavier weight with the added risks of permanent contraception for women. We owe it to ourselves as men as well, to demonstrate that we care for and are responsible for contraceptive decisions.

We owe it to our children

About half of pregnancies that occur in the US are unplanned, which means that many people will be caught off guard and will be ill prepared to assume the demands of paternity/maternity. When we become parents, we are entrusted with a major responsibility, and not everyone is up for the challenge.

Families are the functional core of society and are intimate social laboratories where people grow either affect-rich or affect-deprived. The ‘classic’ or ‘traditional’ definition of family has morphed into a very enriching plurality, demonstrating that the number or gender of its members matters less than their efforts and intentions. Despite that plurality, making poor or untimely decisions regarding contraception can seriously affect the integrity of families and their members.

Poor contraceptive decisions can greatly affect children. Many individuals will accept and adapt to unplanned pregnancies by adjusting their resources and welcoming the new addition to their lives. Unfortunately, many others will struggle and will not adapt, thereby creating dysfunctional environments that, ultimately, will affect the growth and development of the child.

Empowerment of men, women, and families

A vasectomy EMPOWERS MEN because it shows that we care and are willing to be active participants in reproductive decisions. A vasectomy EMPOWERS WOMEN because it relieves them from the heavy burden of contraception. Finally, A vasectomy EMPOWERS FAMILIES because it allows them to allocate time, effort, and resources more efficiently for their growth and continued pursuit of happiness.

These stiffeners are used to stop collars 'curling'. Shirts usually come with a plastic insert, which after several washes tend to become weaker and this causes the collar to become out of shape. An excellent idea is to have these engraved with the initials of the lucky man. 57mm x 10mm. These stiffeners will fit all shirts. A good fit for Thomas Pink and slightly firmer fit for TM Lewin.

This clay mask is formulated to nourish your skin.
Coconut Milk Powder provides moisture and nourishment to the skin. It also helps maintain elasticity and flexibility! Rose Petal Powder tightens the skin and shrinks large pores, keeping it fresh and toned while also locking moisture into the skin.
Kaolin white clay is delicate and is recommended for sensitive skin. It is perfect for treating redness, softening the skin and brightening the complexion. It has anti-aging and anti-redness properties and is perfect for people with dry skin who still need to nourish it with minerals and get rid of toxins.
Moroccan clay is used to nourish the skin, even out blotchy skin tone, and reduce acne.

Perfect for sensitive skin.

For maximum benefits, a botanical face steam is recommended to opens pores, add hydration, and purify the skin before applying your mask.

To use:
-Use a wooden or ceramic bowl and spoon. Metal reacts with the minerals in the clay, so always avoid it when preparing your mask.
-In a bowl mix a spoonful of powder with just enough liquid to make a thick paste.
I suggest using botanical water for even more facial benefits to activate the clay mask, but water will work fine.
-Keep on for about 10 minutes. When the time is up, you should feel a bit of that tightening feeling on your face, but the clay should still look wet on top. This way, your skin will absorb all of the mask’s nutrients but not dry out the skin.
-Rinse it off delicately with warm water

Sinn Féin - On Your Side

Helping young people ‘a priority for Sinn Féin’ – Reilly

14 January, 2016

Speaking this morning, Sinn Féin Senator and party spokesperson on Youth Affairs Kathryn Reilly stated that Sinn Féin was the only party who have made young people a priority over the past five years and are the only party committed to looking after their interests in the future.

Senator Reilly said:

“Fianna Fáil’s mismanagement of the economy culminated in economic catastrophe and the subsequent cuts they implemented, such as the reduction of jobseekers allowance for young people, contributed to forcing thousands of young Irish people to emigrate in search of employment and a decent standard of living.

“The austerity politics of Fine Gael and Labour continued the work of Fianna Fáil, they extended cuts and further created a situation where it was impossible for young people to gain employment, progress their career, rent affordably, purchase a reasonably priced home, attain third level education, amongst many other things. But most importantly, this government denied young people the opportunity to live in Ireland with dignity.

“It is blatantly apparent that prospects for young people have worsened under this government; currently there are 61,600 fewer young people aged between 20 and 34 in employment since this government took office while over 165,000 young people aged between 15 and 24 emigrated in the past five years alone.

“The government parties have ignored young people, as have Fianna Fáil, neither have any plan to deal with the youth crisis. In particular, they have all ignored calls for the restoration of equality for young jobseekers in any of their youth policies. In the run up to the election these parties will pay lip service to young people and make promises they know they will not keep once in government.

“In contrast, Sinn Féin will continue to work towards addressing the needs of young people and resolving the youth crisis. We will, as outlined in our Alternative Budget, work towards restoring equality for young jobseekers, reducing third-level registration fees, increasing third level grants, along with providing an affordable rental and housing market, decent public transport, a fair and acceptable health service, implementation of the Youth Guarantee, and much more.”

Real reform in Healthcare needed – Cullinane

6 May, 2016 - by David Cullinane TD

Sinn Féin TD David Cullinane has said that real reform was needed in healthcare, not one-off deals. Deputy Cullinane expressed satisfaction that previous commitments he had received from Minister Varadkar had been followed through on, namely the regional healthcare review and the proposed development of a second Cath lab in Waterford University Hospital, but that more needed to be done.

The Waterford TD said:

“Sinn Féin is committed to dealing with all the problems in our health system and we welcome the announcement of a review of facilities at Waterford University Hospital.

“It is abundantly clear, however, that the review is not part of any new deal or new pressure. The regional review and the proposed development of a second Cath lab in Waterford University Hospital were flagged by the Minister last year as issues to be raised in 2016.

“In a response to a question that I asked in the Seanad of Minister Varadkar in December 2015, he said that University Hospital Waterford ‘is committed to the progressive extension of the current PPCI service’ and that ‘the issue remains to be considered and prioritised by the HSE, in the development of the strategic plan or the south—south west hospital group. It is expected that the groups will develop and complete their strategic plans in 2016.’

“However, there are a multitude of issues regarding health provision in the South East.

“There is an urgent need to increase bed capacity.

“Resources need to be directed to reduce pressure in orthopaedics, ophthalmology, ENT and urology which are under real pressure.

“There are 3,500 patients waiting longer than 12 months.

“A quarter of radiology posts are unfilled leading to x-ray cancellations and 8,500 on outpatient waiting lines.

“Sinn Féin is committed to ending the current two-tier health system and building a universal system for all.”

Achilles Issue

Jan 11th, 2014

Rhianon McQuoid asked The Guru for the following Physiotherapy Advice:

I have been training for a half marathon which takes place mid september.

That last big run I did (18.5km) was about a month ago and during this I started getting pain in my achilles. I have cut back the training to 1 or two runs a week max 8kms and am still getting pain especially up and down stairs for the few days after the run.

How can I fix this and do you think I will be wise to still compete in the half Marathong?

Thanks so much.

Jan 11th, 2014

The Guru Responded:

Quick set of rules:

Find the cause – have a proper look at your shoes versus foot type.

Don’t be tempted to stretch your Achilles. This is an overstretch problem and stretching will just add to the problem. Restoring length is fine BUT not to the point of stretch and certainly not pain in the Achilles.

Get more length in your calf muscles by getting them released via a foam roller or someone who can, not you stretching.

Make sure your ankle has enough movement (pulling your foot up) compared to the other side.

Start eccentrically loading it (google!) – keep great form and try not to let your foot or knee roll in. You can feel minimal pain, no more when doing and after.

Finally when you return to running (have a 5-7 day rest) go easy for the first 3 recovery runs. Think of running in great form, and certainly great stylee!
