One on one lesson:

30 minutes: $35

45 minutes: $53

60 minutes: $70

Performance and diploma levels:The session time and fees will be discussed with the student depending on their requirement and skill level.

Payment: Tuition is paid by the school term and is non-refundable and non-negotiable. Payment is due by the first lesson of each school term by either cash or bank transfer. When student enrolls in this studio, the student is reserving weekly lesson time for the term. There are no refunds and no make-up lessons.

Cancellation/Make up:Students/parents must notify the studio for lesson that will be cancelled, but this notice does not exempt the student from payment for the lesson slot.
If the teacher is absent, a make-up will be scheduled at a mutually convenient time, or your account will be credited.

Late Students: Due to the fact that our classes are scheduled back to back we are unable to make up time for students who arrive late for their lesson.
Summer Lessons: Summer lessons are available and strongly advised, but not compulsory.

Lesson Termination: The studio maintains a high standard of students and has the right to terminate lessons at any point in time if there is disrespectful behaviour, failure to complete assignments and consistent failure to prepare for lessons during the week. In such a case, a refund will be made for the remaining lessons of that term.
Should you wish to withdraw from classes half way through the term, there will be no refund.

Participation Expectations for Parents:

While most students are initially excited to begin violin lessons, please be aware that they will face challenges and sometimes frustrations. As the initial enthusiasm is replaced by an awareness of the discipline and commitment required to attain skills, your encouragement and praise will be essential to your child’s success.
Set aside a scheduled practice time for your child. It is important to budget time for practicing and to make it happen as a part of his or her daily routine. For example, a child could know that after their afternoon snack, they will practice for 30 minutes or that from 7-7:45pm is their designated practice time. Please supervise home practice sessions, making sure your child completes each assignment. Many children are not mature or disciplined enough to manage practicing without your support.
Parent/Guardian Lesson Attendance
Parents/guardians who would like to attend classes with the child are welcome to do so as I strongly encourage parents/guardians to be active in their child’s musical experience, especially those doing the Beginner Level.  However other guests are not accepted in the studio. It is essential that the same parent/guardian come to class every week, unless it is just the odd time when someone is ill or away but it is important parents do not interrupt the lessons, e.g. comments and phone calls. Parents should take notes but not to interrupt during lessons times, but are welcome to address their questions and concerns at the end of each lesson.

Studio Ground Rules
Be on time for the lessons
Practice regularly and be well prepared
Keep fingernails trimmed short (should not extend past the end of the finger) to ensure proper hand position and good technique
Wash your hands before the lesson. (Arrive in time for restroom use before each lesson)
No food or drinks during the lesson. (Please do not bring gum or candy)

FBI Raids NXIVM ‘Prefect’ Nancy Salzman’s home

The FBI has raided Nancy Salzman’s home on Oregon Trail in suburban Albany, NY.

A search warrant was issued and several federal agents armed and donning bullet proof vests have entered the home of the NXIVM leader and co-founder known as Prefect.

Salzman, 63, a registered nurse, and hypnotist, is second in command of the NXIVM cult.

The cult’s leader, Keith Raniere, was arrested yesterday.

Part of the search will be for cash and other documents and videos believed to be stored in her large basement safe. Raniere was arrested yon Sunday in Mexico and transferred to the USA on charges including sex trafficking and forced labor a/k/a slavery.

It was reported by former members of NXIVM that as much as $2 million in smuggled money was stored in her safe at one point in time, a fact first reported here. According to sources, Raniere instructed his Mexican followers to smuggle cash in from Mexico – and stored it in the safe in Salzman’s house.

Stay tuned for more info .

As of 10:33 AM the search is in progress…

  • Keep up the reporting .. enjoying your articles while I sift for a clue about Kreuk. She’s a big player in this. No matter what she says.

  • Oh Karma ~ destiny or fate, following as effect from cause.

    Finally, Effects of their Causes are showing up. Hum… maybe they should have paid attention when teaching this in their educational programs. Nothing like having a great cup of coffee and some good reading material to “feel the freedom”.

    The best part of waking up is knowing Raniere is all locked up.

  • Brock Wilbur (author of “The Knife of Aristotle Isn’t Just a Fake “Fake News” Site—It’s a Cult”) has been working on a expose (for Audible, with goal of leading to arrest) of Keith Raniere for nine months. He tweeted today: “So a bit of news: I spent the last nine months working with an incredible team at Audible to make a show about bringing down NXIVM / Keith Raniere / The Knife. Yesterday, Keith went to Forever Jail so our show is cancelled. And uh… I’m pretty okay with that.”

    Thread here https://twitter.com/brockwilbur/status/978667018932183040

  • Tick, tock…Tick, tock…You’ll notice that there are no New York State police involved in this raid. Nor anyone from the Saratoga County DA’s Office. The feds obviously know that both of those entities have dirty hands when it comes to NXIVM. And don’t even get me started on P’Diddy Soares here in Albany County. Not to mention our local U.S. Attorney’s Office, which has turned a blind eye towards NXIVM for at least 15 years. Doubt that the feds will take any of those governmental types down but you never know.

      • WNYT reporter tweets today show long table with big salad bowl inside HQ.

        Similar table appears in pix said to be of N.U. Students at lunch between classes (with standard NXIVM fake smiles pasted on).

        • As of 12:15 PM when I walked past the parking lot was empty with only the pickup truck from before left. Shades drawn closed.

  • You had soooooo many opportunities to do the right thing. Should’ve trusted your gut when you met this lunatic for the first time.

    • The first time Nancy Salzman met Keith Raniere she told her friend that he was a sociopath (and that friend shared the story with Becca Friedman). Nancy Salzman also likes to control and be center stage (like so many of the cultists it seems), and she got lots of that over her years with the cult, along with a very nice standard of living. And all she had to give up was her integrity, instincts, and daughters.

      • Oh thats f*cking hilarious!! cheers for that! the heartlessness of this woman is epic – will her daughters care for her in her dotage do you think?

        • I suspect not. Lauren Salzman has her sickly-looking cat to tend to and Michelle Salzman & Ben Myers are getting married on May 26, 2018. They’ll devote first to the creatures they love more than the mother who steered them to a psychopath. On the plus side, there are many charges still to come and maybe they’ll get to spend time together in court and/or prison. Perhaps they can share some quality mother-daughter time together then 🙂

The Decade is Coming to An End: Here Are the 10 Things That Should End With It

As the decade comes to an end, and people start settling into 2020, it’s time to take stock of how we can make this a much better decade than the last one (shouldn’t be too hard, tbh).

To start with, we decided to come up with a list of things that really annoyed us through this decade— and why they need to go now.

New Year’s Resolutions

This is number one on the list — mostly because we’re tired of hearing about people’s resolutions at this time of the year, every single year. There is absolutely no reason to look at self-development only on the 1st of January. By all means, make choices to improve yourselves — just don’t try to correlate them to the end of the year, and grin sheepishly when they’ve been forgotten by mid-January.

Mirror Sunglasses

As someone who doesn’t wear mirrored sunglasses but has had to have numerous conversations with people wearing them, I can safely say that this needs to stop. It’s almost like looking into a mirror — completely pointless and hopelessly distracting. If you want to protect your eyes from the sun, just wear regular sunglasses like the rest of us.

Bollywood Remixes

This one is really getting old. The Hindi film industry needs to stop being lazy — you have an army of singers, music composers, lyricists. Please come up with original music. Thinking that it will be easier to market your movie if the audience already knows the song is just plain lazy. You can do better.

WhatsApp Forwards

I’m not sure if this one will go away easily. The only option might be for WhatsApp to ban them completely — Mark Zuckerberg are you listening? WhatsApp forwards can become the bane of your existence — especially if you’re a Gen-Zer or millennial who doesn’t enjoy them in the least. From ‘Good Morning’ forwards to political messages to deep, dramatic philosophy to thinly veiled misogyny and bigotry — it ALL needs to go.

Single-use Plastic

We’ve all seen the pictures, we’ve cringed, we’ve all done very little about it. Few things impact the human race as much as pollution — especially the non-biodegradable kind. And it’s really time we put a full stop on plastic waste. Swap out cloth bags for plastic covers and carry your own metal straws if you really need one to consume beverages. Trust us, every bag and straw we remove from landfills, count.

Diet Fads

Can we all agree that all our bodies work different? There is no singular diet that magically works for everyone. Experiment, see what works for you, get a professional consult if you have to, and follow a staple that is possible for you. No amount of expert advice can match how much you can learn about your own body. So spend time and know your body better.

Fast Fashion

Real trends don’t just last a season. And true fashion is timeless. There are enough reports that note how fast fashion is unsustainable in the long run. Just the sheer waste that it generates on a daily basis is alarming, not to mention some very exploitative supply chains. Let’s all aim to shop responsibly, and buy products that last longer.

Retro Reboots

Don’t know about you, but we are sooooo done with reboots. The occasional one is alright, but it seems like we’re perpetually rebooting every single nostalgia trip these days. Can we focus on new stories instead? There are so many out there. As a race, we tell stories like no other species. So let’s start telling more new ones again.

Body Shaming

We really shouldn’t be talking about this anymore, but unfortunately body shaming still exists. Let the next decade bring with it a new wave of positivity where we celebrate the diversity of body types. And let’s each one of us just focus on our own. A person’s body is their own business period.

Pineapple on Pizza

Just, no. There’s no argument here.

So that was our top 10 pet peeves from this decade — and it’s high time we said goodbye to them all. Think we might have missed out on some? Let us know in the comments below.

Isaac is currently in the middle of an existential crisis, contemplating the profound and profane in equal earnest.

3D Printed Gun Pioneer Reacts to Media Firestorm, Misinformation

Wilson takes down gun files in response to court order, vows to fight on

Cody Wilson holds up the LIberator / KELLY WEST/AFP/Getty Images

3D printed gun pioneer Cody Wilson spoke with the Washington Free Beacon this week about the fervor surrounding his plan to publish gun designs online.

After Wilson first developed the Liberator—a .380 caliber pistol made of 3D printed parts, a metal plate, and a metal firing pin—back in 2013, he publicly announced the innovation and posted the design for the gun on his website. The State Department then claimed Wilson violated International Traffic in Arms Regulations because the files could be downloaded by foreign entities and demanded he remove them from his site. Wilson complied but then sued the State Department with the help of the Second Amendment Foundation.

On July 15, 2018, Wilson announced the State Department had settled with him and would be dropping their claim against him. He then revealed plans to resurrect his gun design sharing website DefCad.com and post the files for a number of gun designs and allow their download starting Aug. 1, 2018.

David Rutz breaks down the most important news about the enemies of freedom, here and around the world, in this comprehensive morning newsletter.

Sign up here and stay informed!

"All I did on Friday was repost the Liberator on DefCad, and then I posted actually just a bunch of files from other places on the internet," he told the Free Beacon. "Literally everything on DefCad is actually somewhere else already and has been for years."

The files Wilson planned to release include the original Liberator design along with the technical designs for an AR-15, an 80-percent-finished lower receiver from an AR-15, an AR-10, a Ruger 10/22, a VZ58, a Beretta 92FS, and a 1911.

On Tuesday afternoon, U.S. District Court judge Robert S. Lasnik granted nine state attorneys general a temporary restraining order against the State Department that bars them from implementing their settlement with Wilson ahead of an Aug. 10 hearing. Gun-control activists cheered the decision, and some called on Congress to pass legislation banning the possession of gun designs. Wilson announced on Tuesday night that he would take down his website in response to the court's order but told the Free Beacon he was not giving up the fight and believes the law is on his side.

"The law is clear," he said. "This settlement with the government and my license [to publish the files] are not judicially reviewable."

The State Department emphasized that it is and has always been legal for law-abiding Americans to manufacture their own firearms for personal use on Tuesday. They said that their decision to settle the case with Wilson was based on advice from the Department of Justice.

"This has obviously gone through a legal process," Heather Nauert, State Department spokesperson, told reporters during Tuesday's briefing. "The Department of Justice was advising the State Department on this entire legal matter. The Department of Justice suggested that the State Department and the U.S. government settle this case, and so that is what was done. We were informed that we would've lost this case in court, or would have likely lost this case in court based on First Amendment grounds. We took the advice of the Department of Justice, and here we are right now."

The State Department told the Free Beacon that it could not comment on how it plans to handle Judge Lasnik's order as it was part of ongoing litigation.

Wilson said he was surprised by the firestorm unleashed over the settlement as well as the amount of misinformation that has come along with it.

"I'm reading government briefs that say ‘look you click a button your honor and then look you get a gun' and of course a gun is not one object," Wilson said. "It's an object of many moving pieces with pins and springs. You have to literally create all of those components even in the radically simple example of the liberator. It was supposed to be as simple a gun as you could make on a 3D printer, that's 16 pieces. You've gotta make all 16 of those pieces. Then you've gotta treat the barrel. You've gotta do all this other shit, and you don't get that instantly."

He said that the Liberator is harder to construct than many other homemade firearms produced with parts available at most hardware stores, like the designs in P.A. Luty's Expedient Homemade Firearms—copies of which are freely available for download at multiple websites.

"I would say homemade and improvised firearms are much easier," Wilson said. "I mean literally you're getting most of the way there when you walk out of Home Depot. So, one, this is a really extravagant way of making a very crude gun, but the point was for me always about this demonstration."

He said much of the uproar about the Liberator and other designs he posted being undetectable by metal detectors or other security screening devices was simply false. "In a real sense you can't [build a gun made completely of 3D printed plastic parts]," he said. "Even the liberator still has to have a metal firing pin."

The Undetectable Firearms Act of 1988 bans the manufacture or possession of firearms that are undetectable by walk-through metal detectors or X-ray machines commonly used at airport security. Furthermore, Wilson noted that despite a number of reports mischaracterizing the files he had planned to publish on his website, only the Liberator was actually designed to be printed. The rest are only technical drawings of the firearms.

"On DefCad, only one of those designs is printable," Wilson said. "The rest are just blueprints for the AR-15, the M-9, you know you can't even do anything with them."

He said a large motivation in creating DefCad and reposting gun designs that have been widely available on other websites in the years since the State Department first took action against him was to create a kind of Github or Wikipedia for the gun enthusiast community. He said he wanted to publish the designs so that others could work off of them and create their own innovations. The goal, in part, was to create an online community for gun innovators that allowed them to make practical improvements on the popular gun designs—some of which are more than 100 years old.

"Let's say you're a machine shop and you just want to make accessories based on lowers or grip faces or stuff, okay, here's an accurate dimensioned model so we don't have to do that reverse engineering ourselves," Wilson said. "So you save time and money with the producers. Then on the other side of the equation, it's like, well, what if I want to become a company, what if I want to become a producer, okay, here's a production, a Mil-Spec model. I can take that model, then I program in my own custom routine and make variations on the Mil-Spec pattern. That's what everybody else does out here in the AR game."

Wilson said the single-shot .380 caliber Liberator was not intended to be a durable, reliable, or particularly refined firearm but, instead, a proof of concept that demonstrates the intersection of gun rights, the internet, and the free flow of information. Wilson said he created the Liberator as a practical way "to show the elements around the concept."

"Look the computer, look the internet enabled device, the state power never had a place in between any of these," he said. "What are you gonna do, regulate the computer? What are you gonna do, regulate the printer? What are you gonna do, regulate the plans? And, of course, now the answer is, ‘Yeah, we're gonna try to regulate the plans.'"

Wilson said the multiyear fight he's waged in court was not about the right for law-abiding Americans to build their own firearms, the legality of which was not questioned in the case, but rather the right to share the knowledge of how firearms work and are made.

"If you actually try to understand the legality of what I've been doing, like what the license from the State Department actually gave me, it answered this question that I went to federal court about and I fought for five years about," he said. "I didn't just fight for five years out of pride like, ‘Hey, I want the liberator back on my site,' I wanted the recognized right to put this information into the public domain because my company is open source. What I took was the ethos of the intelligence of open source—this idea that you can like commit information into the public domain into the commons for use by everybody—and I applied it to our industry. I said, ‘If there are companies that can have this information and publish it in a recognized, open source way, it is at least some security for the future of the Second Amendment in all times in the future.' This is always how I've understood the debate, so my thinking was like, sure, yeah, demo the printed gun and stuff but that's only as a way of getting at this idea: The internet itself is where our culture has to get. We have to go there."

Wilson said gun enthusiasts had been sharing the gun designs among themselves for a long time without much thought to the philosophical or political implications of doing so. Wilson said he is simply doing the same thing but with an emphasis on those implications.

"The old machine shop guys, right, they've been sharing plans online for years, on forums, it's not even controversial to them, but I wanted to present it in this very political way," he said. "I wanna be like, ‘Look, actually, this is activism.' Put this up into the commons, and it's outside the reach of gun control when you do this, and of course the gun controllers are like, ‘Wait a minute.' So, they're in federal court like we gotta stop this here, we gotta take this website down, but should the dust settle and I somehow survive this, the law is very clear this is public speech."

Hot News

Freek goes China - 07.01.2019

Delegation Chinaplas 2016

After visiting Chinaplas for the first time in 2016, Freek's director Stefan Kaiser was certain: "In 2017 we're going as an exhibitor." And this is how the company came to exhibit in Guangzhou for the first time and then again in 2018 in Shanghai, presenting in particular its highly innovative HotMicroCoil nozzle heating elements. The fact that the time is now right to go to China is evident from the constantly growing demand of increasingly innovative Asian market players. This clientele, with its focus on high technology, knows the value of top-quality nozzle heating and is prepared to pay a fair price for it.

Not only Shanghai but also Guangzhou, in Guangdong province, are imposing metropolises that are an astounding sight for inexperienced trade fair attendees. With the Transrapid, the 632 m tall Shanghai Tower and the 604 m tall Canton Tower in Guangzhou, the Chinese love to show off their capabilities. Airports, exhibition centres and the local public transport system have all been built to the highest international standard. And the hotels, restaurants and cultural and leisure activities leave nothing to be desired either.

Chinaplas itself, and the Chinese plastics industry represented there, both confirm this image. The excellent infrastructure and ever-growing flows of visitors make both guests and exhibitors feel just as well taken care of and supported as in any other European or North American trade fair capital. The friendly on-site assistance of the Messe Düsseldorf organising team, as operator of the German pavilion, and, last but not least, the huge visitor turnout on all four days of the fair contributed to the good atmosphere and feel-good climate among the members of the German representation.

The exhibitors' stands are just as exceptional as those found at the K, Fakuma or NPE trade fairs. The stand size and design, their level of equipment and the exhibits themselves are consistently appealing and representative. This is incidentally also the case for the Asian hot runner scene, the most interesting target group for Freek's HotMicroCoil nozzle heater elements at Chinaplas. With their trade fair presence the Chinese manufacturers are sending a clear message that they have arrived in the top division of the industrial nations and that the times when technology transfer came to the country primarily through joint ventures are over. Now China wishes to create innovations of its own. Rather than merely producing components for the iPhone, it seeks to bring its own competing product onto the market. And anyone who has experienced the current sense of optimism among the Chinese will have no doubt that they will succeed.

Freek have boosted their first two appearances at Chinaplas by planning to return there in the non-K years of 2020 and 2021. For one thing, business in this region is showing promising growth, and for another, this is the place - like K in Düsseldorf - where the who's who of the industry come together.

Lutton Slams Planning System ‘Council Must Listen to Residents’

Fremantle Not Broken

Dr Linley Lutton, who recently retired from Fremantle Design Advisory Committee (DAC), made a public presentation on Tuesday evening (18th February) as to the faults in the city’s current planning system.  He  outlined the importance of street level activity encouraged by using a blend of cafes and a variety of shops and advocates a mix of office and residential accommodation above street level. He stressed that Fremantle is not a broken city.  The overwhelming impression he gave is that Fremantle can be readily developed with medium to high-rise buildings providing more consideration is given to the style and use of buildings.

The public meeting, organised by Fremantle Inner City Residents Association (FICRA) attracted a near capacity audience of about 200 at Notre Dame University.

Dr Lutton detailed faults with the plans for Queensgate and the massive Point Street proposal. Underlining what he considered essential setbacks of higher stories in order they are not visible from street level, he used a simple projected presentation for the purpose backed up with drawn on buildings to underline systems which he explained are being used around the world.

Lutton was emphatic that the planning approval system operated by Fremantle council should be changed. In particular he feels the city’s planning committee should be abandoned and proposals should be placed before all council members.

He also stressed that regular changes to the committee chair should be made, dispensing with what he described as ‘political appointments’.

‘ … you’ll only get developers views’

The most radical recommendation is that an incorporated body should be formed to mount legal challenges to council decisions related to poor quality development.

Dr Lutton underlined that councils should listen closely to residents. He said: “If you only listen to developers you’ll only get developers views”.

He also stressed that council’s wish list for property development indicated the amount of office space planned was impractical. Latest figures show Perth is oversubscribed with office space. The figures have been challenged by Councillor Andrew Sullivan in information given to Backchat following the public meeting.

Two councillors attended the meeting. South Ward councillor Andrew Sullivan who was the former chair of the city’s planning committee and Bill Massie from Hilton Ward. City Ward councillors Rachel Pemberton and newly elected Simon Naber did not attend. Mayor Dr Brad Pettitt sent apologies (He had an official engagement with the Portuguese Ambassador) but has asked for a viewing of a video made of the presentation. Fremantle’s Director Of planning, Phil St John, attended.

Massie:  ‘I disagree’

Councillor Massie, while agreeing with the overall thrust of the evening’s presentation was at odds with Dr Lutton on a few points: “I disagree with Linley that Fremantle is not a  broken city. What council are trying to do now is repair damage caused by our predecessors”.

He went on to say:

“I also disagree that mall’s do not work … you only have to go to Perth’s Hay Street Mall to see they can …I also believe that Fremantle does require major retailers in the heart of the city attracting customers that may look elsewhere, Dr Lutton stating major retailers can go to Cockburn, Garden City or Claremont is driving business out of the heart. There is a need for Fremantle to move forward which includes development residential, retail & office space which may not be in demand at this point but the market changes & we need to be in a position to meet the demand as required”

Sullivan: ‘Fremantle clearly in the doldrums … faces insignificance’

Councillor Andrew Sullivan did not discuss any of the points made by Dr Lutton publicly though he has given a detailed response to Backchat.

He agrees to an extent that Fremantle is not broken but says: “It is clearly in the doldrums”. He believes the city can be a much better place than it is and fears it is slipping into  ‘cultural and commercial insignificance’.

Illustrating a need for balance Sullivan says he does not want to see the city evolve into either a vertical dormitory or ‘quaint retirement village for baby boomers’.

East End Deserves a Rebirth

He says: “Our place may not be broken but cities must evolve. The east end is a pretty soulless place that deserves a rebirth.

“Councils strategy is to increase commercial office space by 70,ooosqm, not the 275,000sqm that Linley suggested”

Sullivan continued: “The development focus is to bring a few thousand inner city residents into an area that has very low residential density which Linley highlighted as being desirable”.

He explained residential targets should be relatively easy to meet but commercial targets will be difficult in the current economic climate. He stressed that council are encouraging restoration of heritage buildings to provide high quality office accommodation.

Council’s Ambitious Targets

Sullivan explained that councils targets are ‘unashamedly ambitious’ but it is essential for Fremantle to outbid other centres as a desirable location for companies to establish themselves.

“Fremantle is a great place to work because of its setting and lifestyle advantage – why would anyone set up in Cockburn Central when Fremantle is beckoning?”

Sullivan, the former head of the Planning Committee, said: “I was pleased that Linley emphasised that residents should not be afraid of building heights proposed in Amendment 49. I agree it is important to focus on how the buildings are presented. Design quality can and should be measured objectively. That is why we established the Design Advisory Committee”.

Andrew Sullivan states Dr Lutton’s accusations that the DAC is being corrupted is ‘wholly unsubstantiated and offensive’.

“I fought hard to have the DAC created . I wanted them to help us deliver better buildings in Fremantle … but Linley is right to suggest that some developers come kicking and screaming to the DAC table … we all want standards to  get considerably better”.

Dr Lutton gave an extensive overview of the proposed developments of King’s Square and Newman Court as well as Queensgate.

Councillor Sullivan said: “He actually had the wrong drawings so the basis of his assessment was flawed. The 3D images he used of Newman Court was actually the proposed internal arcade for Queensgate. Neither I nor the Director of Planning had ever seen the plans he referred to. That said  I agree the aim is to get people using streets rather than developing internal arcades.

“Linley’s assessment of the new Queensgate building in relation to additional height was also flawed”. Councillor Sullivan explained that Amendment 49 provisions allow for extra height at street frontage but only if design excellence is achieved. The planning committee deferred that proposal because it wasn’t satisfied the DAC had given approval … that’s evidence the system is working”.

No Right of Appeal

On the issue of Dr Linley’s proposal to establish an organisation to handle appeals Andrew Sullivan said: ” Sadly there is no right of appeal to the SAT on planning matters. I have campaigned for years to to get our state government to introduce third party rights of appeal for some planning matters … only a developer or proponent can initiate an appeal”.

There were calls from the audience that Dr Lutton should be re-appointed to the DAC. Three resolutions were passed:

More Experts Called For

• That FICRA make representations to have Dr Linley Lutton reinstated to the DAC committee.

• That FICRA seek to have Fremantle Council improve the DAC committee with:

a) A rotating chair every three months

b) An increased pool of experts to draw from

c) More detailed recording of and reporting on committee minutes

•  That FICRA establish a community expert reference  group to make submissions on major developments.

FICRA have tapped into a growing groundswell of public opinion from a sector of Fremantle’s residents who are asking for their opinions to be considered seriously by council. The current feeling is that their opinions are being ignored at best or simply dismissed with no consideration. If this organisation can expand to encompass a a broader membership, possibly by broad cooperation with the Fremantle Residents and Ratepayers Association, it will represent a very active movement and possibly ensure a balanced approach to management within council

One thought on “Lutton Slams Planning System ‘Council Must Listen to Residents’

  1. The 270,000 m2 of new development was the spatial objective set by the COF in its strategic sites deliberations in 2010/11. I have their summary and am happy to share it with anyone interested.

    It was after the strategic sites workshops that the COF asked Urbis to write a report indicating what realistically may be expected and this is where the reduced aspiration from 270,000 m2 to 70,000 m2 occurred. The COF should have pulled back from the wholesale height increase process at this point.

    It is very important to understand that Urbis did not say that around 70,000 m2 was achievable. They said this was an ‘aspirational target’ for the next 20 or so years and could only be considered realistic under certain conditions.

    I did not advocate for height but asked the community to run with it on the basis that if good urban planning rules were obeyed and good outcomes achieved then it could be accepted in the city center. The bar however has to be set very high – something not currently occurring, regardless of the DAC.

    The image I used for Newman Court was presented to the DAC in February 2013 by the proponent’s architects. It is in fact of Newman Court, contrary to Councillor Sullivan’s comments. It was the focus of much discussion because of its shortcomings. Councillor Sullivan and the Director of Planning will find the disc on the council’s files. If not, I can lend them my copy.

    My focus on SAT was not relating to design but to seeking mediation on matters of procedure concerning the comprehensive involvement of the community in decision making.

General Donn Starry on Leadership

By Joe Byerly

As military leaders we should want nothing more than to give our enemies an unfair fight—with the advantage in our favor. And one way in which we do this is through training our forces. I can’t think of anyone who has written as extensively on the “why” and “how” of training as Gen. Donn Starry.

In Vietnam, he commanded the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment. Following the war, he served as the commander of the Armor School, V Corps in Germany, and eventually Training and Doctrine Command. Under his leadership, the Army developed the AirLand Battle Doctrine in the early 1980s, which set the stage for the next two decades of force development. He retired in 1983 after commanding US Readiness Command.

A little over 40 years ago, in January of 1979 General Donn Starry addressed future battalion and brigade commanders at Fort Leavenworth’s Pre Command Course.

In the course of his remarks he provided leaders with insights on leadership that remain relevant today. Below are some excerpts from that speech.

On Careerism

What we’re trying to tell you is that, in some way to some extent careerism has kind of overtaken us. Entrepreneurship of the wrong kind has overtaken us. We are more concerned with my efficiency report and my outfit and my this and my that than we are in us, than we are in the results of the calculus that I’ve tried to describe for you. You have got to change that. Your leadership has to build synergism in your units so that something like that red line happens instead of the very high level of very low efficiency we have today.

It’s got to start with you. You’e see this term –US ARMY –almost one-half of your life. Take a close look at it –only six letters. What has happened is that, instead of concentrating on the first letters as a word –US –we’ve fallen into the habit of concentrating on the last two –MY. We do it all levels. Maybe it’s a sign of our times. “What’s in it for me?” “Do your own thing!” “Individual lifestyles.” These are all symptomatic of the problems in the Army and in our society….You must put aside my career, my efficiency report, for the good of the whole –the team. When you do that, your soldiers will know and follow your example.

Importance of Unit Culture

If you put the soldier in the unit where there is that cohesiveness and the climate of leadership, many, many of those [discipline] problems will take care of themselves

The Leader vs. Fireman

Now, it isn’t going to be easy. There are all kinds of distractors. So many requirements on time –yours and your unit’s –that the environment can best be described as downright hostile. You and your unit will be battered from all sides by important things –fund drives, extra duty requirements, inspections, parades, on-duty education, deadlines, schools, crises, crises, crises.

You can command from day-to-day if you choose, stamping out fires as they pop up. You won’t be moving toward any goal and you may even survive, but you won’t create the type of unit that wins battles.

Incorporating Management into Leadership

You’ve got to look at the problem of command objectively and systematically. It doesn’t mean to replace the art of command with management, but it does mean organizing for the job systematically using some selected management techniques.

The Dark side of Charisma

Charisma is wonderful. If you have it, flaunt it. But for most of us who don’t have it, it’s impossible to fake it. Most important, charisma is part of the problem. It causes us to focus on leadership as an individual thing, more of the my syndrome I talked about earlier. We found that really successful leadership that results in an outstanding organizational performance focuses on the us.

The Best Kind of Leadership

Units need organizational leadership, the kind that draws on the strength of the organization itself. It comes from planning ahead; from the confidence of the leaders themselves and the confidence of soldiers in those leaders; from motivation; and from training, training, training. It doesn’t just happen, and if you wait around for it like a knighthood, it won’t. It takes hard work and a leadership climate that only you, as the commander, can create.

Not Everyone Should Command

Not all of us are good commanders. We must be willing to weed out those who can’t, and do it early in their tour before they screw the troops too badly. It’s a command responsibility -it requires a certain ruthlessness. More than that, it requires guts, honesty, integrity, and some empathy on the part of the commander who does the hiring and firing.  You can’t let your subordinates fear to make mistakes, worse they cannot fear to let their subordinates make mistakes lest they themselves as first parties get fired.

It’s a fine line. The only guy I’ve known well who could do it well was General Abrams. However he said to me many times that the first place he looked when a subordinate didn’t do well was at himself. Once he had satisfied himself that his instructions were clear, then he could proceed to act without hesitation to get rid of the marginal performer. It’s a good rule.

Want to read more?

Thanks to the Combat Studies Institute at Fort Leavenworth we can now read (for free!!) Starry’s most important speeches, articles, and memorandums in an excellent two-volume series titled Press On!  he wrote about everything from strategy, logistics, leadership, and training to noncommissioned officer development, the role of the command sergeant major in organizations, values, and more.

One thing that stands out is his ability to communicate. In his writings, he’s able to concisely describe a problem, develop an operational solution, outline the Army’s strategic approach to implementing that solution, and describe the tactical effects. This series is one of the most important additions to my professional library.

**Update. Many have asked about Don Starry’s article To Change an Army. I’ve provided a link to the .pdf here.

Review: The Lost Codex

The Lost Codex

The third OPSIG Team Black book, The Lost Codex manages to sink lower than the first two-by a considerable amount. The bulk of the actual book is the most bland, clunky thriller against the most bland, generic terrorists imaginable, falling straight into the trap of being too “normal” to be bombastic but too exaggerated to be truly realistic.

This time, profiler Karen Vail is close to being a main character, and is handled in the worst possible way. She’s Miss Infodump and Miss Dragged Along Because The Plot Demands and , finally, Miss Action Heroine all in the same book.

But the icing on the cake is a barely connected bit of Dan Brown-style “secret religious history”. This is only linked to the “shoot the terrorist” plot in the thinniest, clumsiest way, and adds essentially nothing save for giving the book its title and a chance to sell it as being like Clive Cussler. It’s not. It’s worse. A lot worse.

Review: OPSIG Team Black Hard Target

OPSIG Team Black: Hard Target

Fuldapocalypse has finally achieved a milestone. Between this and The Zone Hard Target, I’ve finally reviewed two books with the same title. After an assassination attempt on the vice president and president-elect occurs, the protagonists race to conduct an investigation.

The book is a little overstuffed, including an appearance by FBI profiler Karen Vail, another Jacobson character who has her own series. It has a tawdry love story and the main plot and a bunch of pushed-in-characters like her. In spite of the legitimate (if misguided) research, it has some obvious plot gaffes, like using a common 7.62x54mm round as a smoking gun (pun partially intended) when a more exotic caliber would have made a lot more sense.

But what’s worse is that it’s mixed with many of the elements of an over-the-top thriller (including a final twist that’s actually similar to something that happened in a Blaine McCracken book) that are sadly shackled to a plodding and grounded-in-all-the-wrong-ways “shoot the terrorist” story. Finally, the characters, including the main protagonist, aren’t very likeable or interesting either.

That being said, it’s still not the absolute worst cheap thriller out there. But there are definitely better ones by far, and there are many more I’d recommend ahead of this.

Review: The Hunted

The Hunted

Alan Jacobson’s The Hunted is the first entry in his OPSIG Team Black series of thrillers, although the later ones wouldn’t be written for some time after the initial publication date of this in 2001.

Reviewing this book was a little difficult. As I’ve said many times, I’m not the biggest fan of straight-up cloak and dagger books, which this definitely is. That being said, it’s kind of middling and feels (not surprisingly given its nature) like a smoothed-edges “grocery store thriller.” The climax is well-done, but getting there can be a slog.

The only thing that really jumped out for me was the book giving a “secret history” explanation for the death of Vince Foster, making the antagonist responsible. But even that tidbit can’t sustain this sluggish book.

9 Tips for Miami Marathon Race Week

9 Tips for
Miami Marathon Race Week

Image credit: Miami New Times

The race is Sunday are you ready? Here are some quick tips you can apply this week and on race day to make it a great race.

# 1 Rest during Race Week – I know you are concerned about losing fitness when you take rest days or easy days but this is so untrue. When you rest you actually get stronger and faster because your body is able to recover, rebuild and assimilate all the training stress you have been applying to it over the last few weeks. Now, this doesn’t mean sit on the couch eat ice cream. An easy week leading up to the race means reduced overall volume and a few well placed ORPS (Over Race Pace Sprints).

#2 Eat for Success before, during and after the race – Can you imagine driving your car without putting gas in it? How far do you think it would go? How fast? Not very! That is my point. Plan your nutrition for Saturday and Sunday pre-race and during the race NOW. This one factor can throw all your hard work down the drain. You can be the fastest strongest runner out there and if you don’t fuel well, it can be a big problem. Why risk it? If you are looking for some suggestions on pre-race meals check out my blog Top 3 Tried and True Pre-Race Breakfasts. This is highly individualized so stick to what you have used in training for your race and adjust slightly for higher performance on race day always choose real food while not on the race course as a healthful tip, too much sports nutrition is not healthy!

#3  Stretch – with reduced activity this week you may be feeling a little tight. Break out the foam roller and get in the sauna and or hot tub and stretch your whole body a few times after your easy runs this week.

#4 Writing a Race Plan and stick to it – A race plan is something I recommend so you have a map to follow for almost guaranteed success. All you do is write out everything you will do from Saturday morning when you wake up to Sunday after the race including your race day goals. This includes; eating meals that will support your race, what sports nutrition you will use during the race and when you will eat it, warm up training, your goals for the race itself, heart rate and pacing plans during the race and your recovery details post-race. This can be as detailed or simple as you like.
The important things are to write out your goals in a positive light, meaning avoid statements like “I hope I don’t quit.” Instead, write I will run at my goal race pace from aid station to aid station” or “I will hold 8:15 minute miles for my last 3 miles.”
You also want to include any concerns you might have about the race and your solutions to them in case they occur. For example, if you are concerned about the bridges in the race, I would ask you to pace yourself more gradually as you start the climb so you have energy at the top of the bridge to run down with momentum and good form. Or another example would be if you are worried about pacing yourself for your goal time, use an app that can create a pace chart to follow to help keep you in check and moving toward your goal. I like the program on this website –
Run Pace Chart

Then, I would include goal finishing times based on solid training paces and heart rates you know you can achieve, so you aren’t guessing your finishing time but know within about 5 minutes plus or minus.

#5 Sleep – I know, I know, you are super human and can get by on 5 hours of sleep a night, Wrong!!! You are only fooling yourself. Yes, you can do this a few days a week but if you are consistently sleeping 5 hours or less a night you are being less productive and sacrificing good performance of your body and brain, the research is there. I’m a big believer in putting science to the test. Get 8 plus hours of sleep a night for 5 nights in a row and I guarantee you will feel superhuman even without caffeine!

#6 Get Your Race Packet Early– The best thing to do is get your packet early, browse the expo and get off your feet wearing your compression socks and sipping on coconut water.  Avoid the chaos.

# 7 Have a few Mantra’s – 13.1 and 26.2 are long distances and you can lose focus on the job. Pick a few mantra’s to keep you present in the moment. Some of my favorite are – “Fast Arms, Fast Feet”, “Quick Light Feet” “I Got This” , “Right, Left, Right, Left” “Fall Forward”

# 8 Bring a Disposable Water bottle  – at race start so you can skip the lines at the first 3 aid stations. Add a pinch of real sea slat or your favorite electrolytes. You can get to the aide stations farther down as it gets less crowded.

#9 Smile – Have fun and enjoying every second of this opportunity to run, cheer your fellow runners and be grateful for your awesome, strong, successful body.

Now go have an awesome race!

I am wishing you all your best race 🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻

Coach Erinne

Sample Week Leading up to Race Day
– Sleep in, stretch using foam roller and write out your race plan; Put your race plan for the weekend and send to your coach for feedback, get a massage.
Tuesday – Start with dynamic warm up then easy 20-40 minute run at your aerobic threshold (AE) (180 – age = heart rate average for this run) in other words very easy! Include a few 4 x 1 min ORPS at slightly above your goal race pace, if you are just racing to finish, just keep it steady and include a few pick-ups in intensity, finish with total body stretch and core routine specific to running.
Wednesday – Easy 45 minute swim or bike and foam roll and stretch, visualize your race plan exactly how you want it to go.
Thursday – Similar to Tuesday
Friday – Day off, mental and physical prep, pick up packet today if you can.
Saturday – Run race warm up 15-20 min, with 2-3 x 1 min ORPS, stretch compress and rest, follow your nutrition plan for the day, prepare for temperatures accordingly with layers.
Sunday – Race Day, make it a great day follow your plan and don’t forget to SMILE and Enjoy!

Kevin’s Resources

Rapid Fire 🔥

Q. What Trader has influenced your life the most and why?
A. I have been influenced by many traders. The market Wizards books, for example were a huge inspiration. Those books showed me that 1) successful trading was possible and 2) there are multiple ways to successfully trade. Those are important lessons, since at first the markets seem daunting.

Q. What was one of the hardest things for you to overcome in Trading?
A. For the way I trade (algorithmic trading) the toughest thing is always to follow the rules, without exception. There will be times an algo takes a trade, and I’ll think “that is a terrible trade.” The urge to overrule the algorithm is sometimes huge. But over time, I have found that it is much better to let the algo’s do their job!

Q. How has your trading process evolved over the years?
A. Over the years, I have gradually learned from my mistakes, and created a strategy development process that minimizes the chances for traps like overfitting, curve-fitting and over-optimization. So, the strategies I create today are quite a bit better than the strategies I created 10 years ago. I have always treated trading as something I needed to get better and better at – continuous improvement is key.

Q. What is one attribute that you believe every trader should have?
A. Perseverance. The ability to fight through the losing periods and drawdowns is important. Trading is hard, and it gets frustrating and depressing at times.

Q. Favorite Book about Trading?
A. The first Market Wizards book. A close second is Reminiscences of a Stock Operator.

Q. If you had to pick a profession other than trading, what would it be?
A. If I did not trade, I’d probably be a financial planner or wealth advisor.

Q. What’s the best advice you received about Trading?
A. Dr. Van Tharp always tells traders to only trades strategies that fit you as a person. I think that is terrific advice. Trading with a strategy or technique that does not feel comfortable to the trader is a recipe for disaster. Usually this becomes an issue at the first major drawdown.

Q. If you can give a piece of advice to the younger you, what would it be?
A. Don’t fall for the “trading is easy, get rich quick” schemes. Trading is much harder than it looks.

Q. If you had to elevator pitch me your edge trading, what would you say?
A. I create strategies that have a proven edge, determined from a methodical and rigorous testing process. I couple those positive expectancy strategies with highly disciplined and diversified trading.

Q. Favorite thing to do when not Trading?
A. Spend time with my wife and children!

Beak> is back with new music

The album ‘>>>’ from last year is probably one of my most played records, ending with the track ‘When We Fall’ wich is just the perfect way to end the album. It ended as the best stuff of 2018 together with Gnod, Qujaku and Daughters on Fuzzy Sun’s List.

The seasoned band  Beak> is comprised of Billy Fuller, Geoff Barrow and Will Young  (They are definitly not a side project) and they play gorgeous life shows with the most excellent light shows.

Very happy to tell you they have shared a new track called ‘Life Goes On’. It is clear Beak> keeps producing high quality hypnotic musc.

Check the track out now and buy it on bandcamp.

We have set it by categories, and we will cover them individually:

The Hamilton Beach Personal Blender with Travel Lid lets you blend and run.

Instead, you only have to remove the jar from the base, and boom you’re ready to go.
The blender is in multiple colors like Black, White, Red, Blue, and Raspberry, And much more.

Out of the box, few things came with the product, such as the lid, the manual, two little pieces of tape stuck, two non-removable blades in the cup.

Help Save the Monarch Butterfly

Help Save the Monarch Butterfly

You can help save the Monarch Butterfly.

The Monarch butterfly is a beautiful and amazing insect. An insect that is disappearing right before our eyes. The Monarch population has decreased by 80% over the last 20 years due to habitat loss and pesticides. Do we have a chance to help save the Monarch butterfly?

Garden Tower Project

These majestic butterflies migrate from Canada to Mexico as they lay eggs along the way. It takes 4 generations of Monarchs to make the trip. It’s a multi-generational journey.

When you see a Monarch butterfly, it’s almost as rare as seeing the Loch Ness monster. They are few and far between compared to when I was a kid.

Monarch butterflies exclusively lay their eggs on milkweed plants. As a child, we used to pick these “weeds” and break them open to see the white “milk” drip out.

I never see these plants where I live now. Aside from my mother growing them in her garden. These plants are no longer considered a weed, but a necessity to increase the Monarch population.

How can we save the Monarch butterfly?

I’m glad you asked.

Monarch butterflies need a habitat

The Monarch relies on milkweed as a nursery for the precious butterfly eggs. Those eggs hatch and out crawls a very hungry caterpillar. The caterpillar eats the milkweed and once it’s ready will form into a chrysalis.

If you want Monarch butterflies in your garden here are a few simple tips. Plant a patch of milkweed and other bright colored flowers that attract butterflies, such as zinnia’s and poppies.

If you want them to reproduce you will have to have milkweed in your garden. This is readily available at garden centers as a plant or in the form of seeds.

Don’t have a garden but want to help?

Twenty years ago I ordered monarch caterpillars by mail for my daughter. We received a little container with milkweed leaves and caterpillars in a mesh cage. We watched the lifecycle and released them outside. She loved it! You can still order these today. See below.

Additional habitat luxuries

If you really want to make your garden a welcome oasis for the Monarch butterfly, add some additional luxuries for them to enjoy.

You can help save the monarch butterfly by giving them a watering station. Do this yourself by using a shallow dish or birdbath and fill it with water. Add stones or glass beads that reach the water surface to give them a spot to light on to while they take a drink.

You can also help save the Monarch butterfly by avoiding all chemical pesticides in the garden. Read my other gardening posts about natural ways to keep pests away here.

Watch them grow

Keep an eye out for Monarch chrysalis on your milkweed. They will hang from the underside of the leaves of the plant. Be careful not to disturb it and let it finish creating a beautiful Monarch butterfly.

Thank you for reading, I hope you will hop over to my Gardening Section for more articles on creating a beautiful garden on a frugal budget.

    1. You’re welcome, thanks for your comments. Yes, that is an interesting fact and a big part of the decline in numbers. Milkweed is so easy to grow and it spreads as well. If everyone put a little in the garden, we’d do some good.

  1. I’ll definitely include some milkweed in my spring garden this year! Do hummingbirds next! I just set up my hummingbird feeder; I’ll have to look up hummingbird plants!

    1. The hummingbirds are returning to our area on March 15 from their migration. I will have content up soon in preparation. Zinnias, dahlias, daisies, honeysuckle, mandevilla, are some great starters for hummingbirds. These same plants attract a lot of bees and butterflies as well! Happy planting.

    1. I know! Every kid in grade school watched them hatch in science class. Now, if you see one it’s a rare spotting. Glad you’ll be planting in Michigan!

  2. We put in another rain garden this last summer and included a milkweed patch in our backyard, as well. I’m so excited to see more butterflies! We already see quite a few as they love the anise patch, lobelia, and coneflowers we currently have.

    Our local nature reserve has a awesome native plant sale every spring. I do NOT have a green thumb, but all these things seem to thrive!

    1. I love watching the butterflies. I’m glad to know it’s a sturdy plant. I’ve seen it sold in seed and root form. I’ll be trying from seed this year. My mother had patches of it that continued reseeding year after year. I’m hoping my results are as good! Fingers crossed.

    1. You’re the 2nd person to tell me that, I had no idea! That’s a shame because these are such majestic butterflies! I hope we get lucky this year.

  3. These majestic insects are my spirit animals so this really breaks my heart that they’re dying out but also makes me feel special that, as rare as they’re becoming, I’m blessed to spot one at least once a week. Thank you for the tips. I’m looking forward to implementing some of them to keep them alive as best as I can x

    1. Hi Lydia, They are so beautiful. I have 12 Milkweed seeds started on my windowsill getting ready for this year. I hope I will find a monarch caterpillar or pupa this season. That would be amazing! Thanks for reading.

Quality Workmanship

Quality Workmanship

Kitchen Fitting

We fully understand that Kitchen design is very personal. Whilst components are similar, how you put them together can make all of the difference. Additionally, in the design, there are many elements you need to consider when planning your finished kitchen.

Outside of the cabinets, the right sink, a myriad of appliances and worktops made from a wide range of materials, remains items such as lighting, tiles and paint for the walls that complement or contrast with the colour of the overall design. Also, flooring and floor tiles that accompany the colours in the kitchen worktops for a consistent design effect.

We get it! Not only that, we undertake the project understanding the desired outcome and the attention to detail that brings the complete kitchen project together.

Carpentry for Design

Carpentry & Joinery

Carpentry is an essential required for GBA Contracts in our line of work we undertake. The word Carpentry is a term used to describe the skill required in the first fixing of timber items, for example, the construction of roofs, floors and timber framed buildings. Really, it’s the bits you can’t see on a finished building as these are normally areas of construction that have been hidden in a completed job.

1st Fix – Carpentry work is all that is done before plastering takes place
2nd Fix – Carpentry work is done after plastering takes place

Second fix work includes the installation of items such as skirting boards, architraves, doors and windows all of which is generally regarded as carpentry.

Joinery however, is considered the off-site manufacture and pre-finishing of wooden items.

Suspended Ceilings

GBA Contract has installed lots of suspended ceiling in many different types of buildings over the past 5 years.

Suspended ceilings can often be popular in commercial buildings as they provide a useful space for hiding unsightly wires and other installations that would otherwise spoil the interior appearance of the building.

Suspended ceilings or drop ceilings are secondary ceilings suspended from the floor slab above. The gap between a suspended ceiling and the floor slab above is often between 3 to 8 inches hence the term dropped ceilings or false ceilings. The void space gained by installing a suspended ceiling provides a useful space for distribution of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) services and plumbing and wiring services.

Faculty Book: John D. Greenwood

John D. Greenwood
Singapore Saga, Vol 2: Chasing the Dragon
(Monsoon Books Pte. Ltd., 2019)

Cover of "Singapore Saga" by John D. GreenwoodSet against the expansion of Singapore in the years 1834–1854, Chasing the Dragon (Singapore Saga, Vol. 2) continues to vividly portray the lives of the early pioneers of the expanding port city, including Joseph Balestier, Seah Eu Chin, Captain Henry Keppel, Tan Tock Seng, Munshi Abdullah, Governor Butterworth and Whampoa as well as fictional characters who bring 19th-century Singapore to life.

Duncan Simpson comes to manhood when he joins James Brooke, the White Rajah of Sarawak, on his expeditions against the piratical Borneo Dayaks; an Indian cattleman turns to tiger hunting when his herd is decimated by disease; a Malay magician conjures up magic spells to capture the love of a woman and destroy her husband; a Chinese mother is haunted by the ghostly cries of her abandoned child; a mesmerist performs a dangerous surgery; and Chinese secret society gangs murder Christian farmers in the interior of the island.

As the troop ships of the British Expeditionary Force assemble in Singapore in preparation for the First Opium War, Hong Xiuquan has a dream that will launch the Taiping Rebellion in China, taking the lives of 20 million and powerfully impacting the fortunes of the new citizens of Singapore.

Chasing the Dragon is volume two in the Singapore Saga, a series of historical fiction that spans the first 100 years of Singapore, and follows Forbidden Hill.
Greenwood is a professor of philosophy and psychology at The Graduate Center.

East Cost Warehouse Renovation with three story spiral staircase

This warehouse renovation chose a spiral staircase design to connect the landings of each level.

Gepetto craftsmen managed the design, steel fabrication and solid wood tread construction.  A millwork specialist is a job site peacemaker.  The mill work brings the electrical contractor, the plumber and the carpenter into the same room to achieve the culmination of a kitchen or a complex three story circular staircase.  A mill work installer has often graduated from construction management where they have already made sure that the corners meet and are square and plumb.  Envisioning the project problems & hangups – from the smallest detail up to the grand sweep is the responsibility of the Gepetto team in design consultation as well as fabrication details.

The development of old warehouses into office spaces, mixed use areas and apartments or lofts lends itself well to Gepetto’s signature building products.  Gepetto has reclaimed many board feet of lumber from warehouses marked for demolition. We have turned those beams into doors, counter tops, solid wood joinery tables, free standing islands, and all manner of decorative trim.  Contact us to include the warm authenicity of solid beam finishing products in your renovation plans.

Historically restored Glen Roy Estate for Sale on the lovely Chesapeake Bay

Carter Real Estate Lists the property available August 2019

An architectural masterpiece built in 1853, meticulously restored by Gepetto craftsmanship honoring the original materials and techniques. A douse of imagination and thoroughly great taste add modern amenities like washers, driers and luxury bath amenities .  Windows, woodwork, staircases, floors and plaster moldings all original design restored or renewed by Gepetto’s historic millwork services.  You might see “Over-sized” windows bringing gorgeous views of the changing weather patterns over the bay into every room but then you’d remember this was built before light bulbs and realize how the architectural elements add natural light to almost all corners of the home.  These details add up to living in the historically significant property. It’s not just luxurious living, it’s living closer to nature.  The Impressive estate property can be upkept with a simple call to the craftsmen here who helped restore it, or you can add your own design or finishing touches with our master builders help.

In 1642, the land of Glen Roy was patented by a 600-acre land grant patented by English King Charles I.  During the Civil War it was the site of the Battle of Glen Roy when the house was the headquarters for Union Soldiers. Today, Glen Roy encompasses almost sixty acres of farmland, woods, and sweeping lawns that extend to the shore of the Ware River in Gloucester, Virginia.  Set high up and back from the water as historically safe from flooding.

The classic Greek Revival proportioned manor house presents the characteristic four-over-four Georgian floor plan with a three-section center hall. The central staircase will weave it’s tendrils around your heart as it winds three floors up to a sky-lit cupola with widow’s walk. The custom restored skylights are a unique bit of carpentry that manages airflow, moisture and light in a brilliant design that taught us some things about how well thought out builders of the era practiced their craft.

13 total rooms – with 15-foot ceilings downstairs and 14-foot on the second floor give spacious and airy feel to timeless proportions. Elegant and comfortable room size does not overwhelm but allows a moderate feel to a very spacious house. Along the west elevation on the river, the hall, living room and dining room open to a sixty-foot glass conservatory. The moderate room sizes are designed to be heated by the 12 working fireplaces as dictated by the time period. Living in the modern age, these small architectural differences show the natural elegance of architectural design that incorporates environmental factors.

The nineteenth-century carriage house was converted to a seven-room guest house with two bedrooms, dining room, living room, kitchen, and two marble bathrooms. The spirit of the original structure was preserved by transforming the front carriage entrance into an over-sized window, dramatizing the interior space and giving a full view of the water. The oldest building, with east gable entrance and west gable end chimney above a raised brick cellar, features oyster shell mortar, 5-course common bond, beaded weatherboard, and six-over-nine double-hung sash windows. Once a doctor’s office, it has been restored to a delightful library. Adjacent are the fascinating ruins of an early, circular brick dairy. The frame, two-bay garage has two rooms on the second floor – now smart offices — with bath and kitchen on that could accommodate household staff or security.  The striking, antebellum grain barn displays a rich, picturesque patina. Also, included are an early 20th-century frame stable, sheep shed, and lawnmower shed.

Historic Restoration Builder

Exquisite original architecture, estate presence, and coastal lifestyle, Glen Roy exemplifies the ultimate Chesapeake Bay country experience.

The headline is hyperbole, but if any jam has a claim to the title, this one does.  I recorded this little bit of nirvana at the Edmonton Folk Music Festival on August 11, 2018.  The festival workshops frequently feature multiple acts swapping songs on a wide stage, often with performers who are meeting each other for the first time.  Often the more capable instrumentalists blend in, and sometimes multiple performers will jam.  When, as in this case, you have 200 years plus of musical performance experience across the stage, all heaven can break loose.

The song in question here is John Hartford’s ‘Gentle on my Mind’ and I was kept busy panning my phone camera as the lead shifted across the stage.  The performers are, in order: Molly Tuttle, vocals and guitar; John Reischman, mandolin; Allison de Groot, beautiful sounding banjo; Bruce Molsky, violin; Cathal Hayden, violin; Máirtín O’Connor, button accordion; Stash Wyslouch, guitar; Seamie O’Dowd, guitar.  Whew.  Also accompanying:  Sean Louis Trischka on drums and Max Johnson on stand up bass.  Looking on: Martin Simpson and Iarla Ó Lionáird, whose respective performances were also a treat.   (Normally I stick to short clips on a ‘fair use’ basis, just to illustrate a performer’s work, but I broke my rule a bit here.  Hope, that’s okay.)

Knottysleeves Dreadlock Decorations (knottysleeves) wrote in get_up_dread_up,
Knottysleeves Dreadlock Decorations

Undercut success!

About a week ago I finally dreaded my undercut, which I've been growing in for almost a year. I did tight backcombing, then a little rip & twist on the ends to push the knots up, then another round of backcombing.

I originally made three dreads, but they're stubborn and basically re-sectioned themselves when I wasn't looking, so now I have five.

Here's how they looked after the first wash & dry (I managed to hold out for an entire week):

Still some loose bits flying around, but they're knotting up better than I expected. Yay! I figured they would be looser since my regular dreads are always brushing against them. I'm going to do some more backcombing now and then leave them alone for another few days.

(The rest of my dreads are at 6 months... you can't really see them in the messy updo, but they're coming along great (albeit a bit fuzzy) and I'm really happy with them.)

help please!

i've had my dreads for five weeks now and they look great except for the roots where i crocheted them and now i'm reading everywhere (except on the site that i used for instructions to dread my own hair, of course) that you're not supposed to crochet the roots.

has anyone done this? does it really not ever dread up? can i fix it somehow? in some places i have as much as an inch and a half crocheted and i don't want it to look horrible. the rest looks great--i think, anyway--no digicam to show pics :( but i don't want to be stuck with this mess inthe middle.... help!

Today I'm going to talk about something that will help you grow your business more quickly and - perhaps more importantly - make it easier for you to get up each morning and go to work.

I'd really like you to do the exercise at the bottom of this article - and put the results in your newsletter.

Here's the thing:

People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it.

This isn't my idea. It belongs to Simon Sinek. You can see him talk about it in his presentation at a TED conference. I urge you to watch the video below (click on the image to go to Youtube to watch it).

Here's the thing.

Lots of people sell insurance.

Lots of people sell real estate.

Lots of people sell whatever it is you sell.

And...there are lots of people who need what you have to offer. stand out from the crowd and to become the go-to person in your town, you need to do more than match a commodity to people who are looking for a commodity.

As Sinek says: The goal is not to do business with people who need what you have - the goal is to do business with people who believe what you believe.

That's because our brains are wired to respond to emotions, not logic.

Your passionate "whys" will slice straight through to the limbic brain, bypassing the rational mind.

And that's a good thing, because it destroys the competition.

So, you might have some logical ideas about why people should buy real estate, insurance or whatever from you.

But what their brains really respond to are the emotional "whys" behind what you do.

With that in mind, here are my "whys" - the reasons why I make newsletters.

When you've read them, I want you to think about what your "whys" are - and them write them down and put them in your next newsletter.

Why I do what I do

By reading our materials and buying our products, I want the following to happen for my clients...

  • I want to help my clients to become famous in their markets so that when people think of real estate, insurance or whatever it is they do, they think of my client.
  • I want to help my clients build life-long, satisfying relationships with people who know them, like them and trust them.
  • I want my clients to experience what it is like to have people coming to them for business, rather than them having to go out and hunt down business.
  • I want my clients to get pleasure marketing their businesses by sharing their knowledge and experience with others.
  • I want my clients to be secure, knowing that they have a list of people who will want to do business with them.
  • I want my clients to love their work because they will be in a business with long-term, satisfying relationships.

These are the things I want for my clients.

This is why I do what I do.

Now...what are your "whys"?

Write them down. Send them to me, if you like.

And then put them in your next newsletter.

I promise you will feel better about what you do and your customers will love you for it.
