The Wolf And The Seven Kids Story - Chapter 1

Once, in a land far far away, stood a small stone cottage. The cottage was owned by an old mother goat. And the mother goat lived happily in the cottage with her seven—very preciouslittle kids.

The seven kids and mummy goat sitting together.

‘Dear children, the cupboards are bare,’ said the mother goat, ‘I must going out immediately to run some errands.’

‘OK, Mummy,’ chanted the seven little kids.

‘While I am gone,’ said mother goat, ‘you must be on guard at all times. I have seen a beastly wolf lurking nearby. And if you let him in he is sure to gobble up the lot of you.’

All seven of the little kids looked extremely frightened.

‘You will be fine my darlings,’ said the mother goat, ‘The wolf may well try to trick you with a disguise, but don’t be fooled. You will know it is him straight away by his deep gruff voice and big hairy feet.’

The seven little kids seem comforted by this and said, ‘Thank you, Mummy. We will be on guard. And, please don’t worry. We won’t be fooled by the wolf’s disguises.’

Mother goat gave each of the seven little kids a lick goodbye and then left to run her errands.

Thirty minutes passed and there came a knock at the door.

‘Dear children, I’m home,’ said the voice, ‘I’ve returned with a special treat for each of you to enjoy.’

The smallest little kid turned to the others and whispered, ‘That isn’t Mummy’s voice. It is much too deep. This must be the wolf.’

‘We will NOT open the door,’ they cried, ‘you have a deep gruff voice and Mummy has a soft tender voice. You are the beastly wolf. Be gone! Be gone!’

The Wolf And The Seven Kids Story - Chapter 2

It fell silent.

The wolf had gone, but he had not gone far.

In fact, the wolf had dashed off to the local shop and bought himself a large lump of chalk.

I know what you are thinking.

How bizarre.

Well, yes. But, you see, the wolf swallowed the lump of chalk, which made his voice soft and tender—just like the voice of mother goat.

The wolf then returned to the cottage, knocked on the door and said again, ‘Dear children, I’m home. I’ve returned with a special treat for each of you to enjoy.’

This time the wolf sounded just like mother goat.

‘Mummy’s back!’ shouted the smallest kid.

‘Wait!’ cried another, ‘look under the door. Those feet are much too big and hairy to be Mummy’s feet. This MUST be the wolf!’

the wolf pretends to be mummy goat knocking on the door but the seven kids notice the big hairy brown wolf's feet under the door.

‘We will NOT open the door,’ they bleated, ‘you have horrible, hairy wolf’s feet and Mummy has lovely goat’s feet. You are the beastly wolf. Be gone! Be gone!’

The Wolf And The Seven Kids Story - Chapter 3

It fell silent, again.

This time the wolf had gone to find a baker. But why on earth would the wolf want a baker? Well, you see, the wolf told the baker that he had sore feet and asked the baker to wrap his paws in dough.

The baker—who found this a very strange request, but didn’t want to cause any trouble—happily obliged.

The wolf, whose feet were now white and sticky from the dough, went to find a woodman. You can imagine the woodman’s surprise when a sticky-footed wolf turned up and asked politely, ‘Please may I have a bag of wood shavings?’

The miller— again, not wanting to cause a scene—agreed.

The wolf took the bag of wood shavings and poured them into a neat mound on the ground. He then dunked each of his sticky doughy feet into the wood shavings to make them look just like the feet of mother goat.

Without delay the wolf hurried back to the cottage.

He knocked on the door—as before—and said, ‘Dear children, I’m home. I’ve returned with a special treat for each of you to enjoy.’

The seven little kids looked at each other.

‘It sounds like Mummy.’

‘Yes it does!’ said another, peering under the door, ‘and the feet are white like Mummy’s too.’

All seven kids jump for joy thinking mummy goat is back knocking on the door

‘It must be Mummy!’ they all cried and opened the door.

The Wolf And The Seven Kids Story - Chapter 4

Well, this—I can tell you—was a big mistake.

The wolf pounced through the front door and chaos ensued. The seven terrified kids scattered in an attempt to get away from the wolf.

the big brown wolf surprises the seven kids licking his mouth and barging through the front door.

One hid under a chair.

The second climbed into a bed.

The third jumped into the oven.

Number four, five and six all jammed themselves like sardines into a cupboard and the seventh climbed inside a large grandfather clock.

The seven kids frantically hide from the big wolf in the cupboards, under the bed, under a chair, in the oven and inside the great grandfather clock.

Alas, the wolf sniffed each of them out one by one and—in a single giant bite—gobbled each of them up. The only kid to survive was number seven, who hid ever so silently inside the grandfather clock and, as a result, was never found by the wolf.

The wolf—now with an exceedingly full belly—waddled into the nearby forest and fell fast asleep next to an old tree stump.

The wolf with a satisfied full belly of the seven kids goes for a sleep outside resting on a log.

Mother goat arrived home shortly after.

What an awful sight met her eyes. A broken table and smashed chairs. Shattered dishes lying everywhere. Her carefully hand-sewn bedspread strewn across the floor. Ripped pillows spilling great clumps of feathers. And not a single little kid in sight.

As she wept, there came a cry from within the grandfather clock.

‘Mummy, Mummy!’ shouted the seventh little kid.

Mother goat ran over to the clock, opened the door and said, ‘Oh, my child. My precious child. What has happened? And where are all your brothers and sisters?’

‘The beastly wolf, Mummy,’ cried the kid, ‘he ate them up!’

Mummy goat finds the seventh kid safe hiding inside the great grandfather clock away from the wolf.

Mother goat let out a blood curdling yell, then the room fell silent. Mother goat started to pace up and down the room. A few moments passed and then she spoke.

‘We must find that wretched wolf,’ she said, ‘Look dear! Here are his footprints on the ground. We shall follow these until we find the beast.’

Mother goat and the little kid followed the wolf’s tracks until they reached the opening in the forest where the wolf lay sleeping.

Mother goat peered at the wolf’s stomach closely.

Mother goat and the seventh kid watch the bog wolf sleep as his tummy moves with the six kids still alive inside.

It was moving.

Something was wriggling and struggling inside the wolf’s big bulging belly.

‘Could it be,’ she thought, ‘that my children are still alive in there?’

‘Quick, quick! My dear!’ she said to the little kid, ‘run home and fetch me a pair of scissors and my sewing kit.’

The little kid dashed home and returned, quick as a flash.

The little seventh kid runs to get mummy goat's sewing basket and scissors to open the big wolf's tummy.

The Wolf And The Seven Kids Story - Chapter 5

The next part of the story really is quite gruesome, so I hope you are sitting comfortably.

Mother goat took the scissors, pierced the wolf’s stomach and began to snip. No sooner had she made the first cut when the first little kid popped her head out, looked at mother goat and said, ‘Hello, Mummy.’

Mummy goat cuts open the big wolf's tummy using her scissors and all six little kids pop out alive.

The little kid jumped out, closely followed by her five brothers and sisters.

But how? How could the kids still be alive?

Well, you see, the wolf was such a greedy guts that he had swallowed each of the kids whole, without chewing one single time. So the kids were completely unharmed. No scratches. No teeth marks. Nothing.

The seven kids and mother goat all huddled into a warm embrace, so happy to be safely reunited.

But this was not the end of the story, for the wolf was still asleep. And if he woke to an empty belly he would know what had happened, so mother goat came up with a plan.

‘Darling children,’ said mother goat to her seven little kids, ‘you must now forage for large stones and bring them back to me as quickly as you can.’

They did just that.

The very large stones now lay on the ground next to the wolf.

Mother goat then placed the large stones—one by one—into the wolf’s belly and sewed up the opening very tightly with her needle and thread.

Several hours passed and the wolf awoke.

‘Oh my,’ said the wolf, ‘I have a terrible thirst. I must go to the well straight away and get some water to drink.’

The wolf gasping for water waddles to a water well feeling very heavy from his tummy full of stones.

As the wolf waddled to the well, the stones began to clunk and rattle in his stomach.

‘I ate six large kids and all of their bones,
But now it feels like I’ve swallowed big stones!’

The wolf arrived at the well. He bent over to get a pale of water, but the weight of the heavy stones in his stomach was too much. The wolf overbalanced, toppled into the well and was never seen again.

Mummy goat and the Seven kids happily skip home as the big wolf is dead.

The End.

Let’s Chat! Why I Read

Hello friends,

Do you have people around you who do not read? I do. In fact, most of my real-life friends don’t read. They prefer TV shows or movies:

It makes me wonder why they don’t like reading, and why I do. Ever since I was a kid, I loved stories. I probably looked like this:

Reading is one of the things that I turn to at the end of the day, when I feel tired and burnt out. I love reading more than I love TV shows, movies, and social media. I prefer spending time with a fictional character than a real-life person that I dislike any day.

So today I want to talk about why I read. Maybe you read for the same reasons, maybe not. (In either case, I’d love to hear from you.)

1. We get to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes.

Being a female Asian-Canadian, I know my own story inside and out. From my friends and acquaintances, I hear snippets here and there about what it is like to be male, or African, or white, or gay, or bisexual, or to live in the States, or Jamaica, or Japan. But it’s not the same to be told a story and to experience it.

Through reading, we can be immersed in another person’s story. We get to hear a character’s thoughts and understand their actions. We really do learn to walk a mile in their shoes. Maybe they are older than we are, maybe they are younger, maybe they have parents who are divorced, maybe they are an orphan, maybe they have been abused, maybe they are spoiled and rich, maybe they go to a school for witchcraft and wizardry, maybe they are a vampire with a pet dragon. Whoever they are, we get to see the world from their eyes.

2. We get to step outside our own shoes, if only for a moment.

Even though I’ve been reading mostly YA books, I’m in my twenties and therefore… kind of an adult. And adulting sucks. School and work can be hectic. There are good times, but sometimes life is tough. Some days just leave a bitter taste in my mouth.

A good book pulls us out of our own head and into someone else’s. It offers an escape for fifteen minutes, or an hour, or a weekend (if you are a binge reader like me). And for that moment, we can forget about our upcoming exam, or the room that needs to be cleaned, or the bills that need to be paid, or the upcoming work day tomorrow. (Don’t get me wrong, we eventually gotta confront those things, but isn’t it nice to not think about them for a bit?)

3. I read because reading is exciting.

When I was a kid, I loved Sailor Moon and Pokemon and Harry Potter. I grew up knowing with a certainty that I would be recruited as a Sailor Scout and get to pick a Pokemon and then receive a letter of invitation to Hogwarts. (I’m still waiting for that invitation.) I loved the idea of being sucked into a fantasy world that is much more exciting than our own.

And the thing is: We never have to grow out of that. No matter if we are in our teens, or twenties, or thirties, or fifties, or eighties, we can always have that experience of being transported to a school of witchcraft and wizardry, or a post-apocalyptic dystopia, or a heart-stopping romance. We can always have that feeling of forgetting that we are reading, of itching to find out what happens next.

Now I want to hear from you guys: Why do you read?

  1. I read because it’s always interested me more than tv or film.

    It’s one of my favourite past times and I enjoy it double now I do audio books as well. A guy I know really doesn’t read more than 1 book a year. But I have him on to audio books now and it feels like a great success!

    1. I absolutely love audiobooks as well. It has made reading so much easier during those busy weeks when I wouldn’t have time to read otherwise!

      My fiancé is the same way as the guy you are mentioning: he hasn’t read a physical book since high school, but since he’s started audiobooks, he’s been blasting through them 🙂

  2. When I was small I had a reading age years ahead of my peers. I don’t recall exactly why but I think it must have been my paternal grandmother who introduced me to books, being the only reader in my family. I was voracious and went though the usual children’s books before I was ten.
    My grandmother knew I was interested in wildlife so thought I might enjoy the work of Gerald Durrell. She was right, I ploughed through the lot in a few months.
    My love of reading as an escape came when I went to secondary (high) school. This school was hell and my only joy in those years was escaping into a book. In my first year, when 11, I found my first grown-up novel in a reading box at school. It was ‘Dr No’ by Ian Fleming. Very adult stuff for an 11 year old, but I loved it. An English teacher noticed and started suggesting books I might like, Of Mice and Men especially sticks in my mind.
    Later, during my first years at work, I had a lot of reading time during quiet night shifts and started reading everything from Sci-fi to crime fiction to coffee jar labels (anything to stay awake!).
    These days I read a lot of humour (Terry Pratchett is my favourite author by miles) and still read some crime fiction and fantasy. Recently I have discovered authors who blend these genres (Ben Aaronivitch and his Peter Grant series and also the Bryant & May books by Christopher Fowler). My house groans at the seams with books and I would not have it any other way.
    I am envious that young people have such cool books to choose from these days, from Harry Potter to the Hunger Games. I have read and loved all of these too!

    1. Thank you for sharing your story about why you read! It seems like books have accompanied you throughout your life.

      When you mentioned that you read coffee jar labels to stay awake, I remembered when I was bored as I kid, I would read everything in sight, like cereal boxes and even instruction manuals. Glad to know that I wasn’t the only one 🙂 I also read a lot as a kid and in high school. It is harder now that I have work, and I am envious that you had time to read at work! It is usually hectic at my job, though I do look forward to the quieter night shifts when I do get a chance to read.

      I’m not too familiar with the writers that you mentioned. I’ve been reading a lot of young adult fiction, though I’m looking to read more adult fiction 🙂

      1. Yep – I would read anything!
        You should try the Tiffany Aching series by Terry Pratchett. Aimed at younger adults but they have some grown-up themes and are very funny and very moving and human. ‘The Wee Free Men’ is the first one.

  3. Oh this is a lovely post, Sophie! I really love reading, so much more than watching movies and tv shows – I think part of it is that it makes me use my imagination so much more, picture the world, the characters, everything in my own way. You’re so right, reading and losing ourselves into a book’s world can happen at any age, it is so fantastic to be able to do that ❤

    Liked by 2 people

    1. I’m glad that you feel the same way, Marie! I also love that there is more room for imagination when we read a book. I love imagining how the characters look and sound like in my head, and making up the details of the scene. When you think about it, everyone experiences a book differently depending on what they imagine, while for movies and TV shows, everyone’s experience is the same 🙂 and yes, I love that reading is for everyone, regardless of age!

  4. I think you got the main reasons for reading. They cover almost everything but of course everyone variates a little. I also read to learn (and possibly understand) stuff. I think that reading has become one of the things that define me, I can’t imagine myself without reading.

    Liked by 1 person

  5. Your friends don’t like to read? Time to find some other friends. As for what I like to read, I have a wide variety of fiction and non fiction that interests me. I really love fantasy, science fiction, Gothic, graphic novels, and children’s stories. But I also love history, philosophy, zoology, world religion and mythology.

The ‘Pipelineistan’ conspiracy: The war in Syria has never been about gas – Paul Cochrane

Article  •  Publié sur Souria Houria le 4 juin 2017

The pipeline hypotheses do not stand up to the realities of how energy is transported through the Middle East in the 21st century

Six years into a conflict that has killed at least 400,000 people, there is a widely held belief that the bloodshed in Syria is simply another war over Middle Eastern energy resources.

The bloodshed, so the theory goes, is a proxy battle about two proposed pipelines which would run across the country and on to Turkey and Europe.

While neither pipeline has left the drawing board, or indeed was ever realistic, this has not dampened the theory’s popularity as a core reason for the Syria conflict.

A Syrian man tries to refine crude oil in the Al Raqqa countryside in April 2013 (AFP)

The first pipeline is allegedly backed by the US and runs from Qatar through Saudi Arabia and Jordan to Syria. The second is a supposedly Russia-backed pipeline that goes from Iran, via Iraq, to Syria.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, it is claimed, rejected the Qatari pipeline in 2009, at the request of Moscow, to ensure that European reliance on Russian gas would not be undermined.

As a result, some commentators claim, the US and its European and Gulf allies, including Qatar, decided to orchestrate a rebellion against Assad to ensure that their pipe dreams became a reality rather than the Iranian option. Russia, in turn, backed Syria to ensure its own energy interests prevailed. Iran is also an ally of the current regime in Damascus.

These claims have been promoted in several quarters: the Qatari-based Al Jazeera first floated the concept of a « Pipelineistan war » in 2012.

Even US establishment journal Foreign Affairs and the Guardian newspaper picked up on the theory, which gained further traction in 2016 in an article by Robert Kennedy Jr, and was flagged by, among others, Jill Stein of the Green Party, a former US presidential candidate.

The idea was floated again after the US bombing of Syria in April. This, it was claimed, was further « proof » of Washington’s desire to oust Assad and enable Europe to diversify its gas dependency away from Russia.

While the US has been covertly working with Gulf allies against the Assad regime, controlling Syria’s energy resources and pipeline networks was not a primary concern. If so, it would be a very low priority for regime change.

Why? Firstly, the timeline is wrong. Covert action against Syria started under the George W Bush administration, in 2005, well before the alleged Qatari offer to Damascus in 2009.

« We can see US action against the Syrian regime well before the notion of this pipeline came into existence, » says Justin Dargin, an energy scholar at Oxford University.

Secondly, the pipeline hypotheses do not stand up to the realities of how energy is transported through the Middle East and the obstacles faced by pipeline proposals, many of which fail to come to fruition. Even the Arab Gas Pipeline, whose second phase came online in 2005, has been mired in problems.

Robin Yassin-Kassab, author of Burning Country: Syrians in Revolution and War, says the Pipelineistan theory also ignores how the conflict started and the early months of the revolution.

« Like all conspiracy theories, it thrives on the absence of content and in-depth knowledge of the country, » he says.

1. Domestic demand

In 2009, Syria announced a policy that attracted minimal attention beyond its borders at the time. Called the « Four Seas Strategy, » it aimed to turn the country into a transit hub for gas between the Gulf, the Black Sea, the Caucus and the Mediterranean by expanding the 6,300 kilometres of gas and oil pipelines that criss-cross the country and by making use of the Euro-Arab Mashreq Gas Pipeline (AGP).

The AGP is not a core feature in the Pipelineistan narrative, but it does indicate the problems faced when it comes down to laying down pipelines in the region.

On the drawing board for nearly 20 years, construction of the AGP started in 2003. It was slated to cost $1.2 billion and run 1,200 km from Egypt to Jordan and Syria, before reaching Turkey. There, it would connect with the planned Nabucco pipeline, which would export gas to Europe.

The aftermath of a pipeline attack in northern Sinai in February 2011 (AFP)

One key element of the AGP plan was that Egypt would pump gas to Syria and Jordan. Syria would use the Egyptian gas and then top up the pipeline with gas from its own northern fields before it was sent north.

When war broke out in Syria in 2011, the last leg of the AGP – the stretch from Aleppo to Kilis in Turkey – was being constructed, never to be completed. But there were problems with the pipeline, which cost $1.5 million per kilometre, even before the conflict erupted.

Jim Deacons is a Scottish energy consultant who worked on the AGP in Syria, including designing the final phase of the project.

« When I left [Damascus in 2010] there wasn’t enough gas being fed up through Jordan, » he says. « The Egyptians were gas trapped. They didn’t have enough gas to export, despite signing contracts left, right and centre, so they couldn’t meet their obligations. »

Egypt’s gas production dropped from 220 million cubic feet (mcf) per day in 2010 to 80 mcf in 2011. The AGP was shut down in 2012 after terrorist attacks on the pipeline in Sinai and Egypt’s increasing need for gas for home consumption, and has not resumed operations.

Without enough gas, the AGP became a white elephant. « Effectively, that whole project was about exporting gas from Egypt to Europe, » says Deacons, « but in reality there was never going to be enough for it to be reasonably worthwhile. »

The same issues that plagued the AGP would also apply to any planned Iranian pipeline to Syria, namely a lack of gas.

« Iran has been attempting to develop its South Pars field [in the Persian Gulf] for a long time, » says Dargin, « but there are big obstacles, not least within Iran, where there are competing theories on which development plans should have priority. One idea is for gas to be used domestically as they’ve quite a lot of issues meeting their own needs. »

Indeed, Iran could not meet its own gas needs before an agreement was even signed with Damascus in 2011.

Deacons explains: « The whole point is that while Syria was actively talking about gas from Iran, Tehran was importing gas from Azerbaijan during the winter months.

« That really blows the theory of a gas grab out of the window. That Iran would supply gas to Syria was complete nonsense, and I told the Syrian [energy] minister that [at the time]. »

2. The missing jigsaw piece

The AGP’s viability beyond Syria was also dependent on Nabucco, another pipeline proposal intended to diversify Europe’s gas imports.

That idea, floated by a consortium of European and Turkish energy companies in 2002, was slated to cost more than $10 billion. The project would pipe 31 billion cubic meters of natural gas a year some 3,000 km from Central Asia, via Turkey, to Baumgarten in Austria. But by 2009 Nabucco had still not started, and projected construction costs ballooned to more than $25 billion.

The Turkstream project was cancelled after Turkey hit a Russian Su-24 fighter jet, pictured above (AA)

Eight years later, Nabucco has still not progressed due to the extraordinary cost and the politics at play. Dargin says: « At energy conferences, Nabucco is still brought up. But it’s like, ‘Where’s Waldo?’ It is phenomenal. »

The Nabucco pipeline would be essential for both of the contending pipelines, which would need to piggyback off it if they want gas to reach Europe. But while Russia was opposed to Nabucco and the idea of a Qatari pipeline, it was not enough of a reason for conflict, says Dargin. « You have a motive, a victim, but not a murder weapon. There is no evidence. »

Furthermore, Russia had managed to axe Nabucco in 2007 by announcing its South Stream pipeline project, which was to cut out Turkey altogether by crossing the Black Sea to Bulgaria and onto Europe.

The project was cancelled in 2014 due to political issues with the European Union.

Then Moscow proposed the Turkstream project in 2014, which was again to cut across the Black Sea but then on to the European side of Turkey. It was cancelled after a Russian jet fighter was shot down by Turkey in November 2015.

While both projects are back on the cards, especially Turkstream, neither could transport Iranian or Qatari gas across Turkey.

3. No Qatari offer to Damascus

The pipeline narrative, from 2013 onwards, also makes much mention of Damascus rebuffing an alleged Qatari offer in 2009 to build a pipeline. This part of the story hinges around statements by unnamed diplomats in a 2013 Agence France-Presse article about a meeting between Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and Saudi Arabia’s Bandar bin Sultan.

Qatar’s then-Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani (R) and First Lady Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser al-Misned (L) welcome Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his wife Asma at Doha airport in January 2010 (AFP)

The report says: « In 2009, Assad refused to sign an agreement with Qatar for an overland pipeline running from the Gulf to Europe via Syria to protect the interests of its Russian ally, which is Europe’s top supplier of natural gas. »

But Dargin says: « There are no credible sources that show that Qatar even approached Syria in 2009 and was rebuffed in the process. I am not saying it definitely did not occur, rather there is no evidence supporting this claim. »

Syrian experts also support Dargin’s rebuttal, highlighting the burgeoning economic and political ties between Doha and Damascus.

Yassin-Kassab says: « The absurdity is that relations between the Assad regime and the Qataris were excellent until summer 2011. Assad and his wife and the Qatari royal couple were also being portrayed as personal friends. »

Although Assad may have repeatedly criticized Qatar since late 2011 onwards for supporting « terrorists, » he has never publicly stated that Qatari support for the rebels was over a future pipeline.

Jihad Yazigi, editor of economy website Syria Report, says: « An important aspect that we don’t talk about is the Syrian government never said the Qataris were fighting for a pipeline; that is telling in itself, that Assad never mentioned it. »

4. The Moscow-Tehran connection

Then there’s the other part of the Pipelineistan puzzle – the Iran-Syria pipeline, also known as the Islamic Pipeline.

Yazigi explains: « The Islamic pipeline has been talked about for years. There were pre-contract memorandums of understanding, but until July 2011, there was no formal signing [between Syria and Iran]. You can’t argue this is a serious reason to destroy the whole country. »

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani (R) and Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin at the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF) in Tehran in November 2015 (AFP)

While the project was politically expedient, it ignored economic and energy realities. First, the project was estimated to cost $10 billion, but it was unclear who would foot the bill, particularly as Tehran was – and still is – under US and international sanctions, as is Syria, since 2011.

Second, Iran lacks the capabilities to export significant amounts of gas. Sanctions mean it cannot access the advanced US technology that would allow it to exploit gas from the South Pars field that borders Qatar.

That Russia would force Damascus to veto a Qatari pipeline in favour of an Iranian one also ignores another reality – that Moscow and Tehran are potential energy rivals.

« Competition for gas access in the region is not between Qatar and Iran, but Russia and Iran, » says Yazigi.

« The ones with the biggest share of the European market are the Russians, and they want to secure that. They are the ones to fear the Iranians. »

Despite talk of how pipeline wars would enable Europe to diversify away from Russian gas, Russian gas exports to Europe hit a record high in January 2017.

In December 2016, commodities trader Glencore and the Qatar Investment Authority, the country’s sovereign wealth fund, acquired a 19.5 percent stake in Rosneft, Russia’s state-owned oil company, for $11 billion.

Result: Qatar has achieved easier access to the European market than any pipeline through Syria ever could offer.

5. Politics makes plan a pipedream

The Iranian pipeline would have to cross Iraq. Aside from the problems of building infrastructure in a conflict zone, plans to pipe gas just a short distance from Iraq to Syria were not viable even in 2009.

Deacons says that the Iraqis were observers of the AGP project and that he also discussed bringing gas in from Iraq over the Euphrates with the EU ambassador to Iraq.

Ras Laffan Industrial City, pictured here in October 2007, is Qatar’s key site for LNG production (AFP/handout)

« But it all got bogged down in politics. And the Iraqi infrastructure was so badly maintained and destroyed that they would have had to rebuild, not just fix, it.

« Huge infrastructure investment was needed before even bringing in pipelines. »

Likewise, politics would also impact any Qatari plans.

Dargin explains: « Such a pipeline would have had to pass through Saudi territory, which perhaps would have been an even larger obstacle than Syria, as Riyadh has blocked and obstructed numerous proposals for regional pipelines. »

Indeed, Saudi obstruction caused planners in the mid-2000s to redraw routes for the Dolphin pipeline, which pipes gas from Qatar to the UAE. All three are members of the Gulf Cooperation Council.

« Saudi Arabia placed numerous hurdles in the undersea passage of the Dolphin pipeline as it would pass through its maritime boundaries, » says Dargin. « Saudi opposition was the principle reason we do not see a Qatari pipeline to Bahrain or Kuwait. »

Indeed, Saudi opposition to Qatari gas pipelines has been so strong that Doha has switched its strategy from dry gas pipelines to liquefied natural gas (LNG) instead.

As a result, Doha has become the world’s largest LNG exporter during the past 15 years. It has invested more than $11bn on an LNG cargo shipping fleet that is independent of fixed pipeline infrastructure and can take LNG anywhere. The fastest-growing gas markets are in Asia, especially Japan, China, South Korea and India.

LNG is also a more competitive option than piping dry gas to Europe, where gas demand is flat and forecasts depressed compared to Asia and within the Middle East itself.

Naser Tamimi, an independent Qatari energy expert, says: « With the existing infrastructure, Qatar doesn’t have enough gas to sell to Europe through a pipeline, as most contracts currently are to Asia and long-term, while demand within Qatar is rising. »

« A pipeline has to be economically justifiable and secure demand from buyers in the long-term to recover pipeline costs. »

« Maintaining the pipeline and paying transit fees to host countries, in the most optimistic scenario, would cost between $7-$9 per British Thermal Unit (BTU) to reach Europe. LNG is cheaper, even with the most expensive scenario, at $5-$5.50 per BTU. »

Such factors all coalesce to make both the Qatari and Iranian suggestions nigh impossible.

As Tamimi explains: « If Syria and Iraq stabilise, and political relations with Saudi Arabia and Iraq improve … after all of that, then you could think of a pipeline.

« But at the end of the day it’s a pipe dream. »

Everyday Cargo Trailer Converted to a Badass Camper

While you can quite literally spend as much as you want on a high-end luxury RV or travel trailer, some folks out there are taking the less-is-more approach to overnighting.

* Click the image below and get entered today for free! *
* Yes... you read that all right, no purchase necessary *

One excellent example of a budget camper build is this cargo trailer conversion that features nearly every amenity you’ll find at home, thought some of them are much smaller in size. This cool tiny house on wheels features sleeping quarters, a small dining table, sink and counters, a mini-fridge, television and much more. It even has an outdoor shower for washing off the funk before you climb into the cozy quarters to rest up.

All of this fitted neatly in a relatively run-of-the-mill cargo trailer that you can pick up for next to nothing. Compare that to the hundreds of thousands of dollars some spend to have slightly larger gold plated versions of the same amenities, and this thing looks like the bargain of a lifetime!

Proceedings Paper

All-fiber pressure sensor up to 100 MPa

Paper Abstract

A novel structure incorporating an all-fiber configuration for a fiber-optic sensor of high pressure up to at least 100 MPa is discussed. This configuration is based on the hydrostatic pressure-induced polarization coupling occurring in highly birefringent optical fibers, which the authors reported earlier. The application of two light launching systems--one based on a semiconductor laser diode pigtailed to a single-mode fiber, the other on a similar laser diode pigtailed to a highly birefringent fiber--is reviewed and analyzed. The paper discusses the principles on which the design is based; the construction, instrumentation, and operation of this sensor; and its performance under various conditions, including pressure and temperature coefficients of the output signal. Temperature desensitization procedure is briefly described, and the advantages of the sensor over a sensor utilizing bulk optical polarization controlling elements and a HeNe laser are analyzed.

How Much Does A Cord Of Wood Weigh

I hope you love the products I've recommended below, just a heads up that as an Amazon associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. This means I may earn commissions on products bought via links on this page.

With more and more people relying on wood to heat their homes, they are wanting to learn more about the inner workings of wood. With one of the main questions being how much does a cord of wood weigh?

A big part of the reason people want to know this is usually due to how many trips will it take to move a cord of wood. Or if where they plan on storing their wood will hold the weight of the cord, which is a genuine concern since cords of wood are heavy.

So it’s worth learning not only what affects the weight of the wood but also how to keep the weight down.

How Do You Measure Firewood?

This is something that if you plan on using firewood, you should learn. The correct terms for how you measure firewood is in cords, so one or two cords of wood, but there is also a face cord which is measured differently. With a normal cord of wood, it is 4 feet high, 8 feet wide, and 4 feet How To Measure A Cord Of Wood

deep which will be 128 cubic feet.

Then you have the other measurement which is called a face cord. A face cord of wood is a single stack that is 4 feet high and 8 feet wide, and roughly between 12 to 18 inches deep.

So as you can tell it is stacked very differently compared to the normal cord of wood, making it generally weigh a lot less. So these are the two units of measurement that you need to keep in mind when measuring wood.

How Much Does A Cord Of Wood Weigh?

How Heavy Is A Cord Of Wood?

This is one of the more difficult questions to answer since there is never an exact weight with many factors, that need to be added in. For example, something like a Basswood (linden) will roughly be about 1990 lbs when dry in a cord, but if it is still green it can weigh up to 4410 lbs.

So while you can’t get an exact number, you can get a bit of an idea which will help in your decision making. This is definitely frustrating since I can’t just tell you a number, so if you’re planning to move a cord of wood in your pick up. I would highly recommend doing it on multiple trips.

While I can’t give you an exact number I do have estimations which are as close to an average on some of the more popular firewood in the USA. I hope I will be able to help you with your search, but if I haven’t listed one that you use. Feel free to leave a comment and I might be able to help or point you in the direction of someone who does.

How Much Does A Cord Of Oak Wood Weigh?

Oak is one of the most common types of wood in the world and not just the USA. This is for good reason, it is a very versatile wood that burns well and not to difficult to split. It also has quite a nice smell when it burns, if that is important to you. There are four types that most people will use which are Bur, Red, Pin, and White oak.

The Estimations For Oak Wood

  • Bur Oak – When it is still green it roughly weighs around 4970 lbs, which will definitely mean several trips in your pick up. When it is dry it roughly weighs around 3770 lbs, which again means several trips which you will notice is a common theme with this.
  • Red And Pin Oak – If you’re wondering why this is together, it is because they belong in the same group. They’re actually the lightest out of the oaks on this list coming in at 4890lbs when green. Then when it has been dried out properly, it roughly weighs about 3530lbs. So yet again the poor pick up will be making more trips.
  • White Oak – White oak is easily the heaviest of the oaks, weighing roughly 500lbs more than the Bur oak. It weighs roughly about 5580lbs when it is green, which will make short work out of what you’re trying to carry it with. Even when it is dry it still will weigh over 4000lbs, being roughly around 4210lbs.

My Thoughts On Oak

While I really like oak in general and is a wood I commonly use in my own home. It can be a pain when it comes to transporting a lot of it, especially when my pick up will only allow me to carry roughly 2000lbs which is on the higher side than most peoples. But apart from the weight, oak is a great type of wood to use and highly recommend.

How Much Does A Cord Of Pine Wood Weigh?

While I personally not a big fan of using Pinewood to burn since it is a softwood that doesn’t burn as well as a hardwood like the Oaks above. It is still a common type of wood that is used for burning in the USA, so I had to include it on this list to help as many people as possible.

There How Much Does A Cord Of Pine Weigh

are three types of pine that I have been asked about the most, and they are. Eastern White, Jack, and Ponderosa all weigh about the same when dry which surprised me.

The Estimations For Pine Wood

  • Eastern White Pine – The Eastern White Pine is the baby of the group if you can call over 2000lbs a baby! When it is green it roughly weighs around 2790lbs which is the lightest on this entire list. When it’s dry it sheds roughly 500lbs, weighing around 2255lbs overall. Thankfully this will cut how many trips you will have to do!
  • Jack Pine – We are back over the 3000lbs mark with this wood, with it being around 3205lbs from my estimations. It does shed a fair bit of weight when it has been dried out fully, coming close to the 2493lb mark.
  • Ponderosa Pine – The thing with Ponderosa Pine is that it holds more water than most Pinewood. So it weighs more than the others when wet, but when dry it is slightly lighter than the Jack. Being roughly around 3610 lbs when green, and 2340lbs when dry. This is a big surprise to me but does make life a little easier when it comes to transporting dry.

My Thoughts On Pine

As I stated Pine isn’t for me, but I understand why people use it. It is a very common wood, that is lighter than other woods. This also makes it easier to split, but it doesn’t burn as well. It can be cheaper as well because of it being a softwood, so if you’re on a budget and can’t cut it yourself. I can get why people need to use pine.

How Much Do The More Common Woods Weigh In A Cord?

While I could list quite a few more types of wood, I feel focusing on the more common will allow me to help more people, without being completely overwhelming. This may sound strange to some, but I have met many beginners who have said to much info is overwhelming. I like to try How Heavy Are The More Common Types Of Wood

and keep as many people in mind as possible.

So on this list, I will go over the more common types such as Maple, Cherry, Birch, Elm, Hickory, and Douglas Fir. While the first few are a bit more understandable, the Douglas Fir will catch your eye if you know a thing of too about wood.

It’s a lot like pine as in it’s a softwood so it doesn’t burn as well as the others. But it still is quite a popular wood to use, so I wanted to include it on the list.

The Estimations For The More Common Types Of Wood

  • Silver Maple – Silver Maple is a very good wood especially when it comes to burning, it has a low amount of smoke, but decent heat. But in terms of weight, it isn’t too bad really, roughly weighing about 3910 lbs when green. It also holds a lot of water when it’s green and drops quite a bit when dried, coming in close to 2760lbs.
  • Other Maple – I made Silver separately since it is a bit different from other maples, while the others are quite similar so they’re together. When they are green they weigh an impressive 4690lbs, and when dried out it is closer to 3685lbs.
  • Black Cherry – Blach Cherry trees are great for there coals when burning making them quite popular as well. When it comes to its unseasoned weight, it roughly comes in at 3700lbs. After you dry it, it loses roughly 700lbs coming in at 2930lbs.
  • Paper Birch – Paper Birch is the more popular type of Birch tree for people to burn, because it has some decent heat, and smells quite nice. But in terms of weight, it’s pretty heavy, weighing 4315lbs when green. Then after it has been seasoned properly it comes in around the 3000lbs mark.
  • Red Elm – While people burn American, and Siberian Elm. I believe the Red is more common and the better wood to burn if you are choosing an Elm. It’s pretty heavy wood when green, which is about 4805lbs. Then drops well over 1500lbs when you dry it out, coming in at 3120lbs.
  • Bitternut Hickory – Hickory is a heavy hardwood, which makes it difficult to split, but makes it excellent to burn. With the Bitternut coming in at 5040lbs when green, and roughly 3840lbs when dry.
  • Shagbark Hickory – The Shagbark Hickory is just slightly heavier than its Bitternut counterpart, coming in roughly at 5110lbs when green. After you have dried it out it comes down quite a bit as well, being closer to 3957lbs.
  • Douglas Fir – As I said before Douglas Fir is a softwood, so it’s not the best for burning. Which you will notice it is similar to the Pines in weight. With a green cord of Douglas Fir being around 3324lbs, and after drying out being 2975lbs.

My Thoughts On The The Common Types Of Wood

Out of the common types of wood I chose there are some pretty obvious similarities between them. If you know about burning wood, you will know that hardwood is better for burning. But since it’s harder and denser means it weighs more.

So out of the more common types there I find it very hard to pass up the Hickory. It’s a reliable hardwood, that may difficult to split if you don’t have the right tools.

How Much Does A Face Cord Of Wood Weigh?

The biggest difference between a face cord and a full cord is that a full cord is several logs deep and a face cord is only a single log depth. A face cords logs are generally around 16 to 20-inches deep by 8-foot long and 4-foot high and are often sold under the name of 1/3 cord.

Even with there being an actual measurement to start with, working out just how much a face cord weighs is still difficult to answer. The variables as with everything else with wood will affect what the weight will be so getting a proper answer is difficult.

Overall Weight?

While I can’t give exact numbers on what your 1/3 cord of wood will weigh. Something that I do have an estimation is a green pin oak that was measured and weighed that came in around 2150lbs. While this won’t be exact for anyone it might help some who have had this situation before.

How Much Does A Rick Of Wood Weigh?

As with everything that involves wood and measuring it’s difficult to get an accurate reading since there are so many variables. Learning what a rick of wood is required if you want to learn what the weight of it is.

What Is A Rick Of Wood?

A rick of wood is a measurement used when it comes to describing an amount of wood. When it comes to how they measure it can be a little different since there are two main measurements and the third is up to the size of the logs you have.

The main measurements of a rick of wood are 4-foot high by 8-feet long. The last measurement comes from the length of the logs themselves which is what makes measuring and weighing so difficult. If the logs are something like 16-inches long it would end up being roughly 1/3 of your standard cord of wood.

Then if you went with logs that were 24-inches long then that would be around your usual half cord of wood. So you can see why this is confusing for people who haven’t spent a lot of time in the firewood industry.

Overall Weight?

Sadly there are too many factors that can go into a rick of wood that makes getting an accurate weight. With everything I’ve mentioned, I still haven’t touched on the moisture in the wood that can affect the wood greatly as well. Unfortunately, I can’t give you an answer to this question since there are too many variables.

How Much Does A Cord Of Wood Cost?

This is another one of those questions that is difficult to answer since it varies so much, I know people online will say generally between $120 to $200. But I don’t think you can say that with such certainty and think the only way to find out how much a cord of wood costs is by actually How Much Does A Cord Of Wood Cost

going out and checking places. The best I can do is offer a few tips to try and get the best prices, trying to ensure you don’t get ripped off.

If you have a friend who also uses wood for heating etc, they’re generally a good source of information on where to buy cords from. If you go to buy a cord of wood I highly recommend seeing it for yourself in person, and not just trust a photo.

There is no guarantee in the quality of the wood from a photo. Some places online will sell you firewood and deliver it for you, but this will cost more since you will have to pay a delivery fee, etc.

You should always make sure to shop around, this should go without saying but you never know. Sometimes the brain does forget the simple things. One thing that is often overlooked when buying a cord of wood, is people don’t check if it will fit in there appliance. This is a really annoying issue since it means you’ll have to split the wood again.

I would highly recommend not buying wood in the winter since that is when it is the most expensive. I would recommend buying it earlier and stacking it yourself to let it season more.

Remember if you’re storing it outside you should have it covered by a tarp. Try and make sure the wood is clean when you buy it. Having it be covered in mud is something you just don’t want. While a lot of these are commonsense it is always worth remembering and double-checking.

What Can Affect The Weight Of Wood

If you’ve made it this far then you will notice there is a lot of variables that go into weighing and measuring wood without there every being an exact number. Learning what these variables are might help with understanding why getting an accurate weight is so difficult.

Moisture Weighs More Then You Think!

One thing a lot of people don’t realize is just how much weight moisture in a log will add to the weight. It’s also a big part of the reason you don’t try to split greenwood as well. Moisture is one of the biggest variables in determining just how much a cord of wood will weigh.

If the wood has been properly seasoned the weight can be reduced by enormous amounts which is why it’s crucial in learning how to dry your wood properly. If you’re looking for an easier time you should try and dry your wood before transporting your wood.

What Type Of Wood

This won’t come as a surprise to anyone but different types of woods weigh different amounts. Depending on if you’re using a hard or softwood can affect the weight of your wood. Something like an Oak can weigh over 5000lbs and something like a Douglas Fir the weight can be around 3000lbs.

As you can see the type of wood you have can affect the weight dramatically with some times the difference being thousands of pounds. This can help with determining if a certain kind of wood is one you want to transport and possibly prevent breaking your pickup.

The Size Of The Wood

While this might be obvious, you’d be surprised at what people don’t know. The size of the logs will affect the weight fairly dramatically. This is most obvious when you change the length of wood when you have it in a face cord. With a difference of 8-inches changing a 1/3 cord to a 1/2 cord.

The size of the wood can mean more than just the length it was cut at. Wood never splits into the perfect shape and is often misshaped which can affect the overall weight. While not the most drastic weight difference it will all add up.

Why Does The Weight Of A Cord Of Wood Matter?

This is something that I noticed a lot of people don’t actually consider and don’t realize how important the weight of a cord of wood actually matters. So I believe informing people on just how important this information is and why it’s important is crucial which is why I felt obligated to put this section here.

There are a number of reasons why this is important and often one of the things that you should consider first. Why learning the weight of a cord of wood won’t be something that will change your splitting experience and can help you in not getting ripped off or damaging something that can cost thousands to fix.

Best Way To Protect Your Vehicle

A lot of us move our wood with our trucks or by using a trailer so we will mostly be okay in most cases. But I’ve heard plenty of stories of people overfilling their vehicles and causing major damage to it which ends up costing thousands to repair and insurance won’t cover you.

Learning how much a cord of wood weighs and knowing just what your vehicle is able to carry will help protect your truck. So for many of us, it’s important to know how much it weighs since our vehicles are usually the thing that is helping us make money, and losing it will leave us in a bad situation.

The Second Reason Will Save You Money

In this day and age, there are a lot of companies and people out there trying to rip their customers off just to make a quick buck. Often tricking people into thinking they’ve bought a full cord of wood when they really haven’t.

The main reason I think it’s important to know the weight of a cord of wood is that a lot of places will claim it’s a certain type of wood when it’s a different type. Your average person can’t tell the difference between wood so easily and it’s an easy way to trick someone.

Wood has a number of different factors to its weight and the type of wood it is can drastically affect it. So the weight of the cord can help tell you if they have actually given you the wood you were after.

This is one reason why I think knowing how much a cord of weighs can help save you money. This can be very situational as it’s not always possible to weigh the cord before purchasing, but if the option is there it’s something I would highly recommend.

My Final Thoughts

I’m frustrated I can’t just give you the answer for how much a cord of wood weighs, but there isn’t a lot you can do about it. There are so many variables that make it next to impossible to know for sure.

One thing I would always remember is to not try and load too much into what you’ll be transporting your wood in. It’s better to do it with multiple trips and protect your pickup or trailer than trying to do it in one trip and wrecking your truck.

So hopefully the estimations I have done will help you in your endeavor in determining how many trips you will need to do. Or if this was just a simple curiosity of yours, hopefully, I was able to help you.

Want a smart child? Send them horse-riding: Sitting on the saddle activates the part of the brain responsible for learning

  • There’s no longer any need to hire a private tutor to boost your child’s studies
  • Japanese researchers found horse-riding can have the same effect on their brain
  • Vibrations made during the activity trigger the sympathetic nervous system
  • This part of the brain responsible for learning, memory and problem-solving

Parents try everything to try and get their children into the best universities.

But new research suggests there’s no need to hire a private tutor to boost their youngster’s studies.

Instead, sending them horse-riding could make them more intelligent and perform better at school, scientists claim.

While on the saddle, vibrations made by the animal activate the part of the brain responsible for learning and memory.

Known as the sympathetic nervous system, the effects were found to improve children’s cognitive ability in the Japanese study.

Researchers from the Tokyo University of Agriculture examined the effects of horseback riding on the performance of children.

They were asked to complete simple response and mathematical tests directly before and after taking part in the activity.

While their heart rates were also measured in response to the movements created by the horses.

They found that riding on some horses greatly improved the ability of the children to perform behavioural tasks.

However, less of an effect was noted on their results when solving mathematical problems, according to the experts

These results mean that the act of horse-riding could improve cognitive abilities in children, the study published in Frontiers in Public Health suggested.

These are brain-based skills of which an improvement can lead to enhanced learning, memory and problem-solving.

Study author Professor Mitsuaki Ohta said: ‘One important characteristic of the horse steps is that they produce three-dimensional accelerations.

‘The movement of the horse’s pelvis may provide motor and sensory inputs to the human body and in this study.

‘I believe some of the differences among the rider’s performances might be due to these accelerations.’

National Infertility Awareness Week – Day 6

It is is Day 6 of National Infertility Awareness Week and we reflect on #miscarriage and #infertility. Today, let’s remember that there are mothers and fathers all around us, many of whom carry the grief of child loss. 🙏❤

Infertility Fact:
As many as 50% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage, most often before a woman misses a menstrual period or even knows she is pregnant. About 15-25% of recognized pregnancies will end in a miscarriage (March of Dimes, 2017).

Infertility Awareness:
Infertility and miscarriage are often intertwined. For some couples, factors related to their infertility may allow them to conceive, but the result may be an unhealthy pregnancy that ends in miscarriage. Sperm abnormalities, endometriosis, endometritis, polyps, and low progesterone, among other conditions, can contribute to the loss of a child in a miscarriage. Couples who experience both infertility and child loss may grieve their fertility differently than couples who have never conceived.

Couples who have lost a child or children in miscarriage may not feel “counted” as parents in their communities, and yet they are parents. Be aware that when you ask couples questions such as “Do you have kids?” or “How many kids do you have?” parents who have miscarried children may be uncomfortable answering these questions, or may grieve every time they answer in a way that does not acknowledge their children in heaven. Make a point of letting others know that you recognize the parenthood of couples who have lost children, and that you recognize the spiritual parenthood of those who long for children. Particularly on occasions like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, this recognition can bring great comfort and validation to couples who have miscarried children.

The Fast Paced, Exciting Game of Curling…..

Given the decidedly grey, depressed pallor that is gripping America these days, with tongue in cheek, I thought I would offer a thought or two about the unbelievably exciting sport of Curling! In the highly unlikely event you missed it, the US just won gold in Olympic Curling. I am stunned that network television did not interrupt regular programming to bring this fast paced, inspiring competition into our living rooms. Sure we have the Super Bowl, World Series and NASCAR to contend with, but Curling….wow!

Before we can appreciate this incredibly fast paced game, we must develop some understanding of the mechanics of play. Curling is a sport (they say) that involves very carefully sliding big granite stones on a sheet of ice toward a target that is segmented into four concentric circles. It is played between two teams, each with four players, who take turns sliding these rocks toward the aforementioned circles, referred to as the “house”. Each team has eight rocks, with each player “throwing” two of these across the ice at the “house” located at the other end. Be still, my beating heart! Surely, by now you are starting to feel the euphoria that accompanies such a grand sport. As they say in the infomercials, wait there is more!

This isn’t just any old rock and there is considerable technique and athletic prowess associated with this great competition. For instance, when the rock shooter (my vision) slides the rock, two highly trained teammates carefully accompany the stone with brooms to sweep the ice in front of the stones and thus alter the direction and speed of the stone. What a magnificent display of athleticism, that I was obviously lacking when my grandmother would dispatch me to the back porch with a straw broom. If this isn’t enough to peak your excitement, the rock thrower can subtly induce a curve in the path of the stone, thus influencing it’s ultimate stopping place. As you have surely deduced by now, the score is determined by the number of stones resting closest to the center of the house. One can only imagine the strategy and playbook attendant to this exciting sport. These rocks weigh between 38-44 pounds. It is no wonder they slide them as really “throwing” them is out of the question.

Curling is thought to have originated in Scotland in the 1500’s. This is the result, presumably, of the frozen nature of water in this region, during the winter, and nothing much else to do. I am told there are plenty of rocks in this part of the world, most of which are too big to throw, so; viola, we have Curling. Football was a distant thought but there is something inherently undignified in reaching under another man’s kilt to accept a carefully snapped ball……..anyway, to the uninitiated, casual viewer, there is much that escapes the eye. As an example, you may not be aware of the incredible technology that is employed in the selection of materials for the broom. While some synthetic material is in use, true curlers rely on horse hair, hog hair or some form of fabric. Fans of Duluth Trading Company attire are familiar with a style of pant they advertise as “ball room” pants, for rather obvious reasons. Curling pants, for men, are also carefully crafted so that when the thrower crouches into the position necessary to carefully begin his throw, his movement is not accompanied by a change of several octaves in his voice! No discussion about the dynamics of curling would be complete without mentioning the beautiful crafted, teflon soled shoes, designed to facilitate a controlled slide across the ice. Oh the beauty and majesty of it all! Think about this the next time you skip a rock across a frozen pond (or unfrozen for that matter). You could be planting the seeds of this majestic sport in the minds of your children and grandchildren.

So it is. America wins gold in another thrilling upset of our Scandinavian competitors. You would think by now, these countries would know it is difficult to slide anything past a determined American athlete.

Satire aside, congratulations are in order. Excellence in anything is beautiful to watch.

For today’s card I combined a number of brands that all just seemed to work perfectly together.  I started with the card base from my August Paper Pumpkin and then cut this adorable tag from the PocketPenPals Basics Package B.  I actually cut it twice, once with Very Vanilla and once with Basic Black.  I layered them to allow the black to just sneak out from the bottom.  Then I stamped the sentiment from the same Paper Pumpkin using Momento Tuxedo Black ink.  I used the black ribbon from the kit and wrapped it around the top of the tag and added on some Gold Metallic Baker’s Twine.  For a final wow, I cut this flower from Gold Foil and added a Basic Black center.  This tag is so unique and cool!  Ok, I totally didn’t use it as intended but who cares when it has such versatility!!

Want to see the whole story on these dies?  And a video?  And my whole product review?  And the reviews from some seriously amazing stampers???  Yeah, I thought so!!  Hop right over to the Product Focus page and you can see ALL of that!!  Oh, and you’ll get to see more projects too, of course!

I’ll be back tomorrow with two more projects I made.  I can hardly wait to share!!  Until then, have a great day!

Brielle prepares for Sept. 10 school opening

BRIELLE — In one week, Brielle Elementary School will welcome students back to school, but this year will be different from previous years with the district implementing a hybrid, half-day schedule.

In preparation for the Sept. 10 start of school, Superintendent Chris Carlson discussed the district’s plan during last Thursday’s remote Board of Education meeting.

“I’ve heard peoples’ concerns; I’ve listened to many of you … We are doing what we believe is best for everybody that enters the building,” Ms. Carlson said. “Every day your child’s safety, health and well-being is our top concern.”

The plan, beginning at phase two, will divide students into two groups — blue and gold. Blue students will attend school in-person on Mondays and Thursdays, and gold students will attend school on Tuesdays and Fridays. Children who are not physically in the school building will be required to learn virtually.

For in-person instruction, the school day will begin at 8 a.m. and students will be dismissed at 1 p.m. Following dismissal, all students will learn remotely for the remainder of the school day.

Upon arrival at school, students will be required to have their temperatures checked, wash their hands and head straight to their classroom. Ms. Carlson added that locker use will be prohibited until further notice.

Ms. Carlson said students in each grade level will also be required to enter the school at a designated entrance each morning.

Check out our other Brielle stories, updated daily. And remember to pick up a copy of The Coast Star—on newsstands Friday or online in our e-Edition.
