The Best Of The 2009 Milan Furniture Fair

You may be confused at to just what exactly is the name of the week long event in Milan, which is the world's largest trade show for furniture manufacturers and designers, where many new collections are debuted for the first time. Just to make it clear for those of you who do not follow furniture design as if it is your life's blood, the week long event in Milan took place from April 22-27th and it's often referred to by various names such as the following:

Salone Internazionale del Mobile
The Milan Furniture Fair
The Milan Show
Salone del Mobile
Guida Fuori Salone
the Milan report

The look of love

Oh yes that day is almost upon us - the day florists, chocolate shops & card sellers sit back & rub their hands with glee & watch the money roll in! Cynical aren't I!

We've been out today to Norwich and my goodness the shops were stuffed red this & valentines that - some tasteful and some definately not.

However there is a hint of Valentines spirit here in the VV household - it started with these (made by me);

and then the one of these (again made by me);

and lastly I found this silk rose in the CS the other day & have attached a pin to the back to make a brooch;

I wonder what tomorrow will bring for us all - chocolates, flowers, cards or just a lovely day??

xxxx Vicki xxxx

Hi, I'm just popping round to the other members of the 20 minuters to give them the opportunity to join in the Gift draw in our blog shop. It is partly down to the encouragement of MarmaladeRose that I am still really enjoying doing my 20 minutes of crafting every day and this is stocking the shelves in our shop. I hope you will pop over and join in the fun. The draw will be made on Mon 22nd Feb so this is the last week. If you choose to join in Good Luck. :-)
Many thanks,

Spanish police arrest Turkish writer who recognizes Armenian Genocide

Camille Rivera
August 20, 2017

Germany's Christian Democrats and Social Democratic Party - the two ruling parties - as well as the Greens "are all enemies of Turkey", Erdogan said Friday in televised remarks directed at about 1 million German voters of Turkish origin.

"I call on them [Turks in Germany] not to vote for those parties who have been engaged in such aggressive, disrespectful attitudes against Turkey", Erdogan told reporters after Friday prayers in Istanbul. He added that this was now a matter of pride and that they should instead vote for political parties that didn't oppose Turkey.

Turkey has slammed Germany for refusing to confirm whether the country is harbouring the man suspected of organising the 15 July coup attempt past year.

On Saturday, Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdag said that Germany had refused to answer a diplomatic note issued during the week inquiring whether Oksuz was in the country. Erdogan, an authoritarian leader whose roots are in political Islam, has accused Germany of anti-Turkish and anti-Muslim sentiment. Özedemir has always been a critic of Turkish President Recep Tayipp Erdogan, especially since last year's failed coup attempt in Turkey and the president's authoritarian crackdown in response to it.

Erdogan advised the German foreign Minister "know their place".

"Teach them a lesson in the German elections", he said. Gulen has denied the accusations.

Erdogan has been increasingly critical of Germany ever since Berlin blocked him from holding campaign rallies in the country ahead of a referendum vote that granted more power to the Turkish president.

Germans go to the polls on September 24th for elections where Merkel is running for a fourth term.

Tensions increased after the abortive coup attempt against Mr Erdogan in July 2016, in which at least 240 people died.

The German affiliate of PEN, the writers association, said it believes the arrest warrant is politically motivated, citing his writings about the mass killing of Armenians in Turkey in 1915.

Along with Mayor Koblenz who spoke about the many successes of SAC and the community during the prior year, board members Manny Zuckerman, Deputy Mayor and trustees Gary Leventhal, Clara Pomerantz and Brian Meyerson joined in the festivities. “We all take great pride in living in our fine community and I am very proud of my committee members who made this event so special,” Natalie Mansbach stated “There is no better way to ring in the New Year than to celebrate together with our friends.”

“The event’s success was a good glimpse into the exciting upcoming year that the Senior Activities Committee has planned,” Mayor Koblenz stated. The Mayor went on to add, “The Senior Committee devotes a lot of time and effort to make sure that each and every event they host is a great success. Their concentrated efforts certainly paid off with the holiday party.”

The paradox of searching...

UG Krishnamurti. The Mystique of Enlightenment - page 7;

Q: You think, Sir, that it is not the result of the search? I ask because I have heard that you studied philosophy, that you were associated with religious people ...
UG: You see, the search takes you away from yourself -- it is in the opposite direction -- it has absolutely no relation.
Q: In spite of it, it has happened, not because of it?
UG: In spite of it -- yes, that's the word. All that you do makes it impossible for what already is there to express itself. That is why I call this 'your natural state'. You're always in that state. What prevents what is there from expressing itself in its own way is the search. The search is always in the wrong direction, so all that you consider very profound, all that you consider sacred, is a contamination in that consciousness. You may not (Laughs) like the word 'contamination', but all that you consider sacred, holy and profound is a contamination.
So, there's nothing that you can do. It's not in your hands. I don't like to use the word 'grace', because if you use the word 'grace', the grace of whom? You are not a specially chosen individual; you deserve this, I don't know why.
If it were possible for me, I would be able to help somebody. This is something which I can't give, because you have it. Why should I give it to you? It is ridiculous to ask for a thing which you already have.

#CultivatingCreativity: CULTIVATE GRATITUDE

Hi All! This month my friend Rachel McGough at Handmade U issued a challenge to spend July getting into the habit of cultivating your creativity. You can read her post on 5 excuses not to create here. All month she will be interviewing Creatives (here's a link to the interview with yours truly) about what excuses we struggle with and how we get beyond them.

This is a subject I've given a fair amount of thought to over the years, so I decided I would put together a few posts on the ways I fight the creativity killing excuses Rachel talks about. So let's go!

Probably the two biggest Creativity Killers for me are comparison and perfectionism. They feed off each other like parasites and create fear that kills any desire in me to create anything from paintings to pot roasts. Though comparison and perfectionism are intertwined, I want to deal with them separately so today we're going to talk about COMPARISON.

This is one of the worst traps we creatives--and all other members of the human race, near as I can tell--fall into. We compare absolutely everything we have and everything we are to other people, what they have, what they are. And invariably, we fall short because let's be honest, we almost never compare our lives with those who have less than we do, we almost always compare ourselves with those who have more. But the fact is, we don't compare our reality to the reality of others. We compare our reality with our perception of their reality. Do you see the problem? We are comparing ourselves to a lie, a dream, a mist, a PERCEPTION. We don't know what that other person has gone through to get where she is. We don't know her story, her heart, her fears. We only know our perceptions. There is no way we can win at this one.

So how do we stop killing our creativity with comparison? We cultivate gratitude! This isn't positive psychology, it's spiritual discipline. It's not about switching our focus from comparing ourselves with those who have more to comparing ourselves with those who have less. It's about developing a genuine heart of thankfulness for what we have. It's about being thankful for the talent you've been given--whatever that may be. It's about being thankful for the little things:

And the big things:

Cultivating gratitude keeps our vision clear. As Creatives we need clear vision to do what we do. When we compare ourselves with others creativity becomes a proxy for competition. When we cultivate gratitude for the life we have the privilege of living, creativity becomes an expression of the beauty of a grateful heart. Competition breeds fear--fear of losing, fear of failing. Gratitude brings joy. And it's in joy that we create, that we take risks, that we add to be beauty of our world by exercising the talents we've been given. And what's more, gratitude gives us the guts to cheer on our peers and celebrate their victories with out the petty jealousy that comes from competition.

So let's wrap this up with a little call to action: spend the next four weeks listing 5 things you're grateful for everyday. Write them in your planner, make pictograms, get a new journal to jot them in, whatever it takes. But spend the next four weeks being thankful for your life, and see if it doesn't just help open those creative flood-gates. (Or at least remove a roadblock or two!)

Have a wonderfully creative, comparison-free week!

1 comment:

  1. You have made so many good points here, Kim! I think we all suffer from comparing ourselves to others, and to what we perceive as our own failings. I love your idea of taking time to just be grateful. I'm going to give it a try! Thank you!

Vintage Tablecloths

Sharing vintage tablecloths ~ and other vintage treasures that capture my attention. Thanks for stopping by!

The Good, the Bad & the vintage tablecloth

The Good!
Our gorgeous Crape Myrtle is in bloom again!

We didn't plant this tree, it was here when we bought our house in 2004.
But we did plant two others because of it's beauty.

If faithfully blooms in July every year,
& continues to bloom into September.

The blooms are gorgeous and I always try to make a bouquet
 for my table, but the tiny blossoms fall off too easily.
However, the outside view is spectacular!

The Bad!
Aw, a group of sweet Bambi's!   Not so sweet when you consider
they carry the deer tick that causes Lyme Disease.

I found this map online showing the prevalence this year.
Virginia is among the highest.
We live in a rural area and see lots of deer.  Our property is partially
surrounded by woods and scrub.  We have an energetic dog who plays
in the woods and scrub.
(Do you see where this is headed?)
 We make sure he gets his annual Lyme Disease vaccine from the vet.
He takes a pill that kills a tick if it bites him.  Doyle is all set.

Unfortunately there is no vaccine for humans.  Last week I found out
 I have contracted Lyme disease.  My doctor started me on a 3 week
 course of antibiotics immediately.  The blood test is two-part, the 1st part
revealing the presence of Lyme disease, and the 2nd part revealing whether
it is a recent infection or not.  Luckily, mine is recent so I pray the
antibiotics will take care of it.  Some folks suffer with long term disease.

I'm still a little in shock.  My hubby did remove a tick for me, but I had no
 bull's eye rash.  I learned not everyone gets one.  I did have symptoms of
illness, which led me to see my doctor.  Extreme fatigue, muscle and joint
aches, nausea, headaches... flu type symptoms actually.

So these hot summer months, heed the tick warning and
be vigilant!

& The vintage tablecloth

Need to finish on a happy note here, and vintage tablecloths always make
me happy!  Here is my current table.  Manufacturer of this nature
theme tablecloth is unknown.  Love the pink to maroons together.

  1. Yuck! So sorry you have to endure part of this tick epidemic. We have Lyme in Maine too but not as bad as some areas. I wish you the best! And your tree is unbelievably beautiful!

  2. Oh no! Lyme disease is no joke! So glad you caught it and hope you get better soon. We have deer all around here and my Grands are checked daily for ticks. So far so good. Love the table cloth, you do have the best collection. Take care and big hugs sent your way!

  3. Oh, sweet friend, I am so sorry to hear you contracted Lyme's Disease! Indeed, it is no joke! Please know that I am praying for you!

    Your tree is truly breathtaking! What beauty! Love and hugs to you!

  4. Your crape myrtle amazes me! Good for Doyle, crappy for you! I'm so sorry about your illness, hope the antibiotics kick that bugs butt! We are also in the red zone and so far tick free. Hope by now you are feeling better. Sending my best wishes for a full recovery!

  5. Oh, Pam. I was so excited to see your lovely Crape Myrtle but then I was so dismayed to read about your Lyme disease. I have my dogs vaccinated as well, I wonder why they've conquered Lyme disease for dogs but not humans? My husband was bit by a tick about 20 years ago, got the bullseye rash, took his antibiotics and has been clear with no repercussions. And I just knocked on wood after I typed that. I hope that the antibiotics do as well for you as they did for him.

Your comments make me smile! Thanks.

    County Ties To The Railroads

    DeKalb County has played a pretty significant role in America’s railway system. In fact, out of the nine communities in DeKalb, six of them have specific ties to the railroad. Two of them (Ashley and Garrett) are even named after former Presidents of significant Railroad Companies during the early 20th century of America’s transportation history.

    The town of Garrett, Indiana is named after John W. Garrett the President of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company from 1858-1884. The town of Ashley, Indiana is named after Ossian D. Ashley the President of the Wabash Railroad from 1892-1902.

    But Garrett was truly the railroad Town of DeKalb County. READ MORE

Expanded wiring device and circuit breaker factory opened in southern province.

by Linh San

Panasonic Eco Solutions Vietnam (PESVN) has officially opened an expanded wiring device and circuit breaker factory in southern Binh Duong province, representing a milestone in Panasonic’s development in Vietnam.

An additional factory was built with the aim of doubling Panasonic’s production capacity of wiring devices and circuit breakers in FY 2020, which enhances its responsiveness to the rapid increase in demand for these products in Vietnam over recent years.

The new factory was built on a 3,000 sq m site adjacent to the existing factory, which produces approximately 53 million wiring devices and 13 million circuit breakers annually.

“With our mission of making ‘A better life, A better world’ and contributing further to the development of Vietnam, the inauguration of the factory expresses our commitment to developing Japanese-quality ‘Made in Vietnam, Make for Vietnam’ products,” said Mr. Masaaki Kobayashi, General Director of Panasonic Vietnam.

With the addition of the new factory and further expansion plans, the factory aims to supply wiring devices and circuit breakers to local markets and Southeast Asian countries.

The inauguration is also expected to provide economic and social development and create more jobs. The facility aims to provide high-tech products that cater to local and regional needs. Local employees will also be trained and equipped with manufacturing expertise and technological know-how.

“As a brand built upon 100 years of reliability, Panasonic will continue to expand our business in different fields, invest in R&D activities, develop leading technologies, solutions and products, enhance customer services, as well as contribute to society through different educational and environmental projects in Vietnam,” Mr. Kobayashi added.

Panasonic Vietnam is the first 100 per cent foreign-invested company to have a country headquarters in Vietnam. The Panasonic Vietnam Group comprises Panasonic Industrial Devices Vietnam (PIDVN), Panasonic System Networks Vietnam (PSNV), Panasonic Appliances Vietnam (PAPVN), Panasonic AVC Networks Vietnam (PAVCV), and PESVN, together with the Panasonic Research & Development Center Vietnam (PRDCV).

The Group currently employs a total workforce of about 8,000 people. In Vietnam, Panasonic is among those enterprises that place great emphasis on social activities surrounding education and the environment.

Vingroup supports domestic producers

Released at: 16:55, 02/06/2016

Vingroup supports domestic producers

Group signs contracts with nearly 250 local enterprises to help and promote local production.

by Hoang Huong

Vingroup, Vietnam’s largest property developer, signed cooperation contracts with nearly 250 local enterprises in seven industries on the first day of June under its program to support and promote domestic production. In the fields of food, cosmetics, stationery and toys, household appliances and fashion and textiles, the enterprises are from eight cities and provinces nationwide.

Deputy Chairman Le Khac Hiep said the competition not only in the retail sector but also in production has become more difficult since Vietnam became party to free trade agreements. He believes, however, that this is a chance for local enterprises to improve their product quality. “The program aims to promote domestic production, providing safe food sources and also building national brands of international standard to best serve local consumers,” he said.

Under the contracts, Vingroup and its subsidiaries Vincommerce, Vincom Retail, VinEco, and VinDS offer a solutions package to enterprises, such as incentive policies to distribute their products within the group’s network and enhance their brand presence. The group also commits to supporting these enterprises regarding technology, management, quality control, and marketing.

Over 140 enterprises signed distribution contracts with Vingroup and will be able to sell their goods at Vinmart supermarket and Vinmart + convenience store chains on preferential terms until June 1, 2017. Food suppliers, especially those involved in fresh food such as meat, fish, poultry, and fruit and vegetables, will not be required to offer a discount until June 1, 2017.

The other 100 firms signed cooperation contracts with the group to strengthen their brand presence within its chains, such as Vincom Retail, VinDS, and VinPro (part of Vincom Retail).

The incentive program is to help suppliers have more funds to reinvest in product quality and improve safety and hygiene standards. All enterprises have committed to supplying the market with high-quality products and at the same time Vingroup encourages them to cut their prices to support consumers.

Vingroup has invested in 16 laboratories in cities and provinces that have Vinmart supermarkets, which are able to check and control the hygiene and safety of products sold in its network.

Across the Baltic and North Germanic lands, ‘Hengest and Hors’ was the name given to the cross horse-headed gables which decorated pagan temples and hofs. As the Saxons were a Horse-lord folk – Hengest and Horsa probably took the name as titles for themselves. Tolkien was aware of this – and based the people of Rohan on the Saxon people. Theoden, king of the horse lords takes his name from Theod – Anglo-Saxon for ‘people’ or ‘tribe’. Many of Rohan’s heroes in Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings have names based upon the Eoh (white horse) rune. Rohan itself is a Sanskrit word which relates to health and healing

 What seems to be older legends than the Germanic Hengest and Horsa tales, are the Baltic legends of the Ašvieniai – (in the writings of Kathleen Herbert she describes the English as a Baltic people) and these are much more closely related to the Aryan-Hindu legends of the Aswins (sometimes Ashwins / Ashvins) – the divine Horse gods of Hindu lore. Hengest’s (the Jutish chieftain) son was called Ash, and as we will see – we find another connection with their names to horses, as Ash means Horse in the early Aryan languages.

 The Vedic Ashwines are Divine Twins, and are depicted as half horse and half human – this symbolism also applies to Woden. They are gods who bring fertility to crops, just as the Baltic Ašvieniai do. In old Lithuanian ‘ašva’ means horse, just as the Sanskrit ‘ashva’ means horse. Both words are connected to our word Ash.  Ašvieniai as horse-gods pull the carriage known as Saulė which is the sun. (Saulė is the same as sole, soul, sal, Sol, solar etc). The Vedic Ashwins also pull the sun across the sky. You may have noticed in the Lord of the Rings, the banners and flags of Rohan contained both white horse and rising sun symbolism.

This symbol is known as a Jumis – a crop fertility symbol from the Baltic lands. We can see the image of the cross horse headed gables. This proto runic glyph is used in pagan artwork often alongside the swastika – and is connected to the Eihwaz rune. The Eihwaz rune is really the same symbol, but the staves are upright and not crossed. The Jumis also represents the bottom of the Ethel rune – the rune of Woden as a Horse-God.

Entoria The daughter of a Roman countryman. Saturn ( Cronos ) who was once hospitably received by him, became, by his fair daughter, the father of four sons, Janus, Hymnus, Faustus, and Felix. Saturn taught the father of the cultivation of the vine and the preparation of wine, enjoining him to teach his neighbours the same. This was done accordingly, but the country people, who became intoxicated with their new drink, thought it to be a poison, and stoned their neighbour to death, whereupon his sons hung themselves in their grief. At a much later time, when the Romans were visited by a plague, they were told by the Delphic oracle, that the plague was a punishment for the outrage of Entoria's father and Lutatius Catulus caused a temple to be erected to Saturn on the Tarpeian rock, and in it an altar with four faces. (Plut. Parall. Gr. et Rom. 9.)

Felix A son of Saturn and Entoria. [See ENTORIA.]

Machaereus I. e. the swordsman. a son of Daetas of Delphi, who is said to have slain Neoptolemus, the son of Achilles, in a quarrel about the sacrificial meat at Delphi. ( Strab. ix. p. 421; Pind. Nem. vii. 62, with the scholiast.)

Deidamia 1. A daughter of Bellerophontes and wife of Evander, by whom she became the mother of Sarpedon. ( Diod. v. 79.) Homer ( Il. vi. 197 ) calls her Laodamia. 2. A daughter of Lycomedes in the island of Scyros. When Achilles was concealed there in maiden's attire, Deïdamia became by him the mother of Pyrrhus or Neoptolemus, and, according to other, of Oneirus also. ( Apollod. iii. 13. § 7; Ptolem. Hteph. 3.) 3. The wife of Pirithous, who is commonly called Hippodamia. ( Plut. Thes. 30; comp. HIPPODAMIA.)

Faustus A son of Saturn and Entoria. [See ENTORIA.]

Toxeus A son of Oeneus and Althaea, was killed by Meleager. ( Apollod. i. 8. § 1; Anton. Lib. 2; comp. OENEUS.)

Aba A Thracian nymph, the mother of Ergiscus by Poseidon. ( Suidas s.v. Ergisce.)

Dorceus A son of Hippocoon, who had a heroum at Sparta conjointly with his brother Sebrus. The well near the sanctuary was called Dorceia and the place around it Sebrion. ( Paus. iii. 15 § 2.)

According to others he was a son of Perieres and a grandson of Cynortas, and was married to the nymph Batea, by whom he had several children ( Apollod. iii. 10. § 4; Schol. ad Eurip Orest. 447 ). The patronymic Oebalides is not only applied to his descendants, but to the Spartans generally, and hence it occurs as an epithet or surname of Hyacinthus, Castor, Pollux and Helena ( Ov. Ib. 590, Fast. v. 705. Her. xvi. 126.) 2. A son of Telon by a nymph of the stream Sbethus near Naples.

One of the Lapithae. ( Ov. Met. xii. 449.) 5. An Attic autochthon previous to the time of Cecrops, was a priest of Apollo, and on account of his virtues he was made king; but as he was honoured to the same extent as Zeus, the latter wished to destroy him. At the request of Apollo, however, Zeus metamorphosed him into an eagle, and his wife likewise into a bird. ( Anton. Lib. 6; Ov. Met. vii. 400.) 6. A son of the Aetolian Ochesius, fell by the hand of Ares in the Trojan War. ( Hom. Il. v. 842.) 7. A son of Epytus, and a herald of Aeneas. ( Hom. Il. xvii. 323.) 8.

Jim Beam Whiskey vs. Jack Daniels Whiskey

Difference between Jim Beam Whiskey and Jack Daniels Whiskey

Jim Beam and Jack Daniels are brands of whiskey that are made by fermenting grains and storing them in oak barrels for a long period of time. These can be found in grocery stores if they are allowed by their state.

What is Jim Beam Whiskey?

Jim Beam is a popular brand of whiskey that started as a family business in Kentucky. Its whiskeys are stored in oak barrels for at least four years, and are more alcoholic than Jack Daniels’. Jim Beam is also the cheaper brand, only costing around half of Jack Daniels.

The U.S. government has a set of manufacturing rules and regulations that should be followed by both these brands. An example of this rule is that whiskeys have to be aged for at least 2 years. Jim Beam sets an example by aging their whiskeys by twice this requirement.

What is Jack Daniels?

Jack Daniels is also a popular whiskey brand that originated from Tennessee. It is known for its smooth taste that comes from its filtering process. It is usually stored for less than four years but is much more expensive than Jim Beam.

A brief summary:

  • Jim Beam started as a family business in Kentucky while Jack Daniels originated from Tennessee
  • Jim Beam is more alcoholic while Jack Daniels has a smooth taste
  • Jim Beam is aged for at least four years while Jack Daniels is aged for a shorter period of time
  • Jack Daniels costs at least twice the cost of Jim Beam

Indiana has steepest drop in abortions performed since 2013

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The number of abortions performed in Indiana during 2016 dropped by the largest rate in several years.

An Indiana State Department of Health report shows 7,277 abortions were performed in the state last year, representing an 8.5 percent drop from 2015. Indiana’s abortion rate has been falling for several years, but had seen small declines since a 7 percent drop in 2013 from 8,800 abortions the year before.

The state report shows nearly all abortions were carried out at six licensed clinics in Indianapolis, Merrillville, Bloomington and Lafayette. Three other abortion clinics in Gary, South Bend and Indianapolis have closed since 2014.

Abortion opponents point to tighter state laws approved by the Republican-dominated Legislature for the decline even though federal judges have blocked some of those laws from being enforced.

School Council News

Welcome to the School Council Page!

Warmington School Council is an inclusive, structured forum for discussion and decision making. It is a means for children to raise issues, ideas and concerns and a way to consult all pupils.

School Council meetings normally take place every three weeks and conventional committee procedures are used. Class representatives bring issues to the School Council and comments are made in a school suggestion box (where comments are managed by Mrs Dunkley) which are then carefully considered. Mrs Dunkley chairs the meetings and takes minutes.

The School Council is an excellent opportunity:

  • To help children develop responsible attitudes.
  • To give children "Hands on” experience of issues in the National Curriculum including PSHE, citizenship and enterprise.
  • To create a feeling of belonging, encourage listening to others and develop self-confidence.

There are two representatives elected from each class who will sit on the School Council until the end of the summer term. Children wishing to stand for election created their manifesto and the manifestos were displayed in the school for all children to view. A ballot was held when each class will vote for their class representatives.

We look forward to keeping you updated on our School Council news!

Sealing Sandstone Flagstones in Stretton under Fosse

These Sandstone flagstones were in the hallway of a house in the 16th century village of Stretton under Fosse, Warwickshire. The flagstone floor was in good condition however it had never been sealed so every time it was cleaned the cleaning product soaked into the floor and was less effective also the customer wanted to reveal the natural colours in the Sandstone and needed some of the grout repairing.

Cleaning Sandstone Flagstones

The first job was to clean and flush the flagstone so we set about cleaning the stone using Tile Doctor Pro-Clean mixed 50/50 with NanoTech Ultra-Clean and further diluted with water. I often use this combination, Pro-Clean is a strong and effective alkaline cleaner whilst NantoTech adds tiny abrasive particles that assist and speed up the cleaning process.

Sandstone Flagstone Cleaning

The solution was applied using a mop and then worked into the floor using a rotary buffing machine fitted with a black 17” scrubbing pad. The soiled cleaning solution was then picked up off the floor using a wet and dry vacuum and the floor was given a thorough wash down with clean water to remove a trace of cleaning products that may impact the sealer. There were a few areas of grout that had cracked and become lose so we set about replacing the grout with a closer match as possible and then left for the day to allow the floor to try overnight.

Sandstone Flagstones Before Sealing Sandstone Flagstones Before Sealing Close-Up

Sealing the Flagstone Floor

We sealed the Sandstone flagstones with a single coat of Tile Doctor Colour Grow, there are a number of sealers we could of used for this floor all have different effects and differing levels of stain protection against spills but Colour Grow is really durable and helps to bring out the deep colour from within the stone . To finish and build up the lustre and richness of the colour we then applied seven coats of Seal & Go which add a nice low sheen to the surface of the tile.

109 Deer in the bathroom

Last time little Storm was born. Let´s age her up!

Liam: Why am I holding the baby?

No clue.

Liam: I´m holding her again.

Yeah, he seems to snatch her up a lot. Perhaps because he wanted a girl when he was pregnant. He also cares for the boys, but I think, Storm is his favourite.

First time to really use that toddler playpen. The boys are having a lot of fun and are best friends already.

It´s snowflake day!

Miles seems to have been naughty. He got coal.

Slightly out of synch peek-a-boo.

Scott: Where you looking?

Storm: Me no longer play wiv you.

Arielle forgot her clothes after showering. Must be cold.

Arielle: Nah, it´s refreshing.

Whatever you say. Please go inside before the paper child comes.

I often buy things as the daily deal and then use them much later. With so many artistic sims the glass blowing station seems like a good idea.

Arielle is a good mum.

Stoutland made and tested the panther perfum, but only got sick.

I also ploppped down grandpa´s grove.

The family doesn´t own the lot, but can do a hayride anyway.

Stoutland seems to be having fun.

Mortimer and Liam discuss Mort´s career.

I changed his lifetime wish from designer to physical perfection with his points shortly after this. The career is buggy and with two other high maintainance careers (Liam´s and Arielle´s) it just got too much. Mortimer spends most of his time training the martial arts anyway.

Speaking of Arielle´s career… This looks awesome!

Liam already has his adult birthday.

Liam: Oh, boy! How exciting!

Liam: I´m old. This hair is crap. And I don´t like this shirt.

Can someone please NOT have a midlife crisis?

There. Changed your hair back and got rid of the shirt altogether. You look pretty fit, I have to say. Nice abs.

Liam: I don´t know…

Your boyfriend seems to like it.

Liam: Oh, well, he must be right.

Only two toddlers in the playpen. Meh.

But we can take turns.

Crystal is on her way to max the mixing skill.

Fullmoon toddler explosion!

He rolls dog person.

Sebastian: I want a dog.

Sorry, no room. Go play with the cats.

Sebastian: OK.

Scott gets a party. I do parties or not like the mood strikes.

Only a small gathering this time.

Scott: Meep.

He rolls virtuoso.

Liam: Time to go to bed. I´m already seeing deers.

Deer: Stupid human! I AM here!

Deer: He closed the door! They all shall feel my wrath!

*Teleports away*

Well, that was spooky.

BACK TO BACK AWAY WINS FOR THE LIONS

The Lions made the trip up the Mitchell Freeway on Sunday to take on North Beach in all grades. Kicked off by our Lion Cub juniors in the morning and capped with a solid win by our first graders – it was another great day for the club.

In the senior grades, our Women’s League Tag got things started with their first win of the year defeating North Beach 22-4.  Janey Mackey once again took out the best player award.

It was a blow-out in the Under 18’s, our boys giving North Beach a footballing lesson on their way to a massive 74-18 win.

Reserve grade had a disappointing 34-10 loss. Poor ball control gifted the Sea Eagles too much possession, which resulted in North Beach running away with the game in the second half as the extra defensive work started to take its toll on the Lions. Best players were awarded to Harry Debique and Richie Davis.

In the main game North Beach got on the scoreboard first, grabbing a try from a well placed grubber kick into the in goal area. The try was converted for an early 6-0 lead to the home side. The Sea Eagles continued to win the territory battle in the early stages as the Lions failed to complete their sets effectively.  Following on from their earlier success, North Beach went to the grubber play again with another good kick to the in goal - only this time to be denied by our fullback Jordan “Zippity Do Dah” Jacobs (well named by O.Bray).  Jordan is fast becoming a crowd favourite with his magic footwork and courageous play and this was from the top drawer as he beat five or six Beach defenders to miraculously get the ball back into the field of play. It’s not the first time this year that Jordan has pulled off plays like this, saving his team from repeat sets in defense – and we’re sure it won’t be the last.

As the first half progressed the Lions gained some momentum and converted that into points with a try to Eddie Proudler who muscled his way over the line.  Eddie, who has made his way back to the club after a season with the Newcastle Knights U/20’s was in the thick of the action again shortly after , with a grubber of his own and TK Kahaki on the spot to pick up the Lions second try. Another try to North Beach before half-time saw the teams go to the break level at 12-12.

The second half started well for the Lions with a great team try scored in the corner by the Illawarra Flash, Ricky Gleis.  The ball was put through the hands, ending up with PK Te Wara who made a great run and delivered the money ball for the winger to score. The try was converted from the sideline by Wayde Kelly to take the Lions to an 18-12 lead.

South Perth moved one step closer to victory when Reno Burkhardt dived over under the posts following a beautiful delayed pass from Wayde Kelly. A penalty goal from Kelly increased the margin to a 14 point lead and was extended by a second penalty goal - this time by TK Kahaki to bring up the final score of 28-12.

Coach Barney, said there was a lot to work on, but was happy with his team’s second half performance and to start the year with two wins away from home. He expected the game to be a bit of an arm wrestle (as they tend to be between these two rival clubs) and this is how the game played out. He was particularly pleased that they managed to keep Beach scoreless in the second half and mentioned the heavy involvement of the back three (Zip, Rick and TK) when the game was there to be won.

The team and coaching staff were very appreciative of their supporters who made the trip up to North Beach on Sunday.

Best players for First Grade: Jon Phipps and Wayde Kelly, with Players’ Player awarded to prop Joss Boyton.

We Deal in Lead – Episode 4: No Country for Old Men

Welcome to the Busted Trail Saloon. Behind the bar there’s whiskey, there’s ladies yonder, and the men at the poker table are from the We Deal in Lead Podcast. Folks from out of town may want to sit down and play a hand, or mayhap listen to an old timer spin a yarn or two. Whatever the reason for comin’ in, stick around, holster yer weapons, and rest your boots.

A part of the Movie Podcast Network, We Deal in Lead is a podcast focusing on westerns, big and small. From the golden era, featuring John Wayne, Glenn Ford, and James Stewart, to the Spaghetti’s with Clint Eastwood, and then off to hills the modern westerns like Silverado, Tombstone, and Appaloosa, we review and discuss the great wild west until the cows come home. Hell, we even get into some TV here and there.

Episode 4 celebrates the 10 year anniversary of a Cohen Brothers’ masterpiece, No Country for Old Men. Based on the Cormack McCarthy book of the same name, this film captures everything there is to love about thrillers, and leaves no one wanting another ounce of suspense. A slow burn, few movies manage to deliver such greatness.

With a memorable portrayal of evil incarnate, Javier Bardem steals the show in the movie that put him on the map; he plays Anton Chigur, the perfect villain. Tommy Lee Jones and Josh Brolin deliver as our heroes, everyday men in a ever changing world. The critics loved it, but what do the hosts of We Deal in Lead think? Find out now by listening to the damn episode! But your thoughts on the movie matter just as much, so give them lead-dealers a holler in the comments section.

Mirror’s Edge TV Series Darts To Endemol Shine Studios

Mirror's Edge TV Series Darts To Endemol Shine Studios

Serialized content based on dormant movie franchises is a trend that may be running amok, but what of TV shows inspired by video games? Well, according to Deadline, Endemol Shine Studios has nabbed the rights for a live-action series based on Mirror’s Edge, the futuristic sci-fi franchise developed by DICE.

Blending themes of totalitarianism with bleeding-edge graphics, the company is hoping to spin out a female-driven action series based on the blistering video game, which follows an underground group of Runners who carve out a life in the City of Glass as couriers, evading oppressive security and governmental forces as they leap, dive and wall-run across the sterile landscape.

At the heart of the tale is Faith, a skilled Runner whose sister is framed for a murder she didn’t commit, spawning a plot involving sibling bonds and government conspiracies.

In response to the announcement, Sharon Hall, President of Endemol Shine Studios, doubled down on the USP of Mirror’s Edge, stating that, “we clearly see Mirror’s Edge as a franchise for the global TV audience. It has a strong female protagonist, a wildly rabid fan base and a worldwide brand that Electronic Arts and EA DICE have done an amazing job establishing.”

As for the studio’s source material, Mirror’s Edge Catalyst has been earmarked for launch across PS4, Xbox One and PC on June 7 in the States. To sate your appetite for Faith’s long-awaited return, have a gander at the sequel’s launch trailer from earlier today.
