Investing in kids crucial

March 6, 2009
Text Size:

America must invest in its littlest citizens if it hopes to remain globally competitive in the future, a North Carolina consultant plans to tell the Grand Rapids business community on Wednesday.

“Where you’ve seen major progress on funding in early education in places like Oklahoma and North Carolina and some other examples is because the business community has become very actively engaged, not just writing letters, but calling on legislators and explaining the importance of the issue from an economic standpoint,” said Bill Millett, president of Scope View Strategic Advantage in Charlotte, N.C.

Millett is scheduled to make two stops in West Michigan during a two-week speaking tour of the state, sponsored by Great Start Collaborative, a state organization focusing on health and education in early childhood. His first appearance is set for 7:30 a.m. Wednesday at the Eberhard Center on Grand Valley State University’s Pew Campus in Grand Rapids. He is also scheduled to speak at 7:30 a.m. Friday at the GVSU Alumni House on the Allendale campus.

Both presentations are free and open to the public, but RSVPs are requested: 632-1011 or for the Kent County event or for the Ottawa County event.

Millett said a focus on early childhood education, quality child care and health are crucial if youngsters are to arrive at the school steps ready and able to learn.

“It is also about the collective future of Michigan as a competitive economic vitality, as a viable economic commodity,” he said. “And if those investments are not made in 2009, then in 2032, ’33, things will be even weaker.”

A former economic development director for the city of Charlotte, Millett has held a slew of  leadership positions in the field: board of the National Association of Development Organizations; past president of the Carolina Economic Development Association; charter president, Southeast Community Development Association; past member, Governor's Committee on Local Government; and chair, Regional Council Executive Directors Association.

He said he plans to present the business case in favor of investment in early childhood initiatives. Among the sources he cites are:

The Business Roundtable, composed of the CEOs of 160 leading U.S. companies: “In today’s world, where education and skill levels determine future earnings, the economic and social costs to individuals, communities and the nation of not taking action on early childhood education are far too great to ignore.”

Committee for Economic Development: “Early childhood education, in contrast, appears to offer greater potential returns and substantially less risk. CED encourages local development policy-makers to view early childhood education as a development tool and appreciate its lasting benefits. It is time that early education is implemented with the same energy, urgency and funding that is currently being applied to other less-promising projects.”

Public polling firm Zogby International: “Ultimately, unease about the American work force and the U.S.’s ability to compete in the global economy without a solid investment in education beginning in early childhood seems a potent rationale for business leaders to support investing in universal pre-school for all who want it.”

Millett is involved in North Carolina’s Smart Start program, which launched that state’s programs to raise the bar on early childhood in 1993 and has become a national model.

“It is not an easy sell,” Millett said, noting that an investment today won’t even begin to pay off for years. Yet, test scores of American students are sinking in math and science, and the country no longer leads the world in educational attainment.

According to a 2006 National Science Foundation analysis of doctorate degrees in the 20th century, foreign nationals earned 39 percent of science and engineering doctorates awarded in the U.S. from 1995 to 1999, compared to 16 percent from 1960 to 1964.

By the early 1990s, almost one in three of all U.S. doctorate degrees were awarded to foreign citizens, four out of five of them male and in the country on temporary visas. From 1995 to 1999, Asian nationals earned 44 percent of engineering doctorates and 22 percent of all science doctorates, the study stated, mostly from China, India, Korea and Taiwan.

“The Great Recession — it will eventually go away. But with Michigan and with North Carolina and other places, we have been in a diminished competitive status versus the rest of the world for a while now,” Millett said. “I think we have undervalued education. We most definitely have undervalued it compared to other countries that have eaten our market share in a number of marketplaces.”

Support for early childhood programs is tougher to come by in Michigan, he added, thanks to the Legislature’s term-limits that sap the political will to make decisions with a long-term impact.

“Where the early education needle has really moved is when the business community has gotten really involved, when you’ve got senior vice presidents in key corporations saying, ‘This is an important issue — important to the future of my company, important to the future of Kent County,’” Millett said.

“We may not see a payoff in a while, but this is part of where the knowledge infrastructure is going.”

County will accept private funds for new park boathouse

June 4, 2010
Text Size:

Kent County commissioners will officially accept an $800,000 grant on Thursday from the Kent County Parks Foundation. The money will go toward the construction of a new boathouse and boating center in the county-owned Millennium Park, a 1,400-acre public park on the county’s west side.

The money coming from the parks foundation is actually the result of a gift made in March by the Dick and Betsy DeVos Family Foundation, the Daniel and Pamella DeVos Foundation, the Douglas and Maria DeVos Foundation and the VanderWeide Family Foundation.

“It’s a real milestone for Millennium Park,” said Commissioner Roger Morgan.

The facility will be built just south of the swimming beach and will offer paddle boats, kayaks and rowboats for rent.

“This is a very nice boathouse that will be available to everyone in the park,” said Peter Secchia in March when he told commissioners of the gift.

County Parks Director Roger Sabine said the boathouse will sustain itself financially through rental charges and won’t be a burden on the county’s budget.

Construction is expected to begin late this summer and be completed in time for operations to begin next spring. Cornerstone Architects and O’Boyle, Cowell, Blalock & Associates designed the facility.

About $35 million has been invested in Millennium Park so far, with the county putting $15.5 million into the park. Assistant County Administrator Mary Swanson said the boathouse grant means the private sector has matched the county’s investment. The state has contributed $5 million in grants to the park’s development.

West Michigan firms see Detroit’s potential

Motor City is becoming more interested in this area’s cultural amenities.

May 23, 2014
Text Size:

Back in the 1930s, 47 Commerce Ave. SW housed an auto repair shop. Fast forward to the mid-1990s and the building was then a shuttered warehouse that characterized downtown Grand Rapids’ urban blight.

Today, however, the now-LEED Gold certified building houses Lambert, Edwards & Associates, Michigan’s largest investor relations and public affairs firm.

The repurposed structure is a micro-example of the potential Detroit is offering, said Jeff Lambert at a recent Grand Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce Business Matters Series forum held at Calvin College’s Prince Conference Center. Lambert’s speech was titled, “Don’t be Afraid of Detroit.”

There are, of course, some hurdles that need to be cleared, including the fear some people have of Detroit’s crime rate, its ghost-town-like suburbs, and a massive city deficit.

Lambert, president and managing partner of LE&A, wasn’t dissuaded by Detroit’s stereotypes. He said his firm’s decision to establish an office in downtown Detroit offered an opportunity to expand its client base.

The agency’s expansion prospects started in 2009 with the acquisition of Detroit-based John Bailey & Associates, making LE&A one of the largest PR firms in Michigan, with offices in Grand Rapids, Detroit and Lansing.

Similar to its Grand Rapids location, LE&A’s Detroit agency operates out of a former retail store that sat empty for 18 years.

“We looked at Detroit as an opportunity there in that market to serve clients that have broader industries as well as the opportunity to serve larger companies,” said Lambert. “So we thought greater market opportunities and prospective clients looking for a statewide firm (was the way to go), so we became the only statewide firm to serve three major markets in Michigan.”

Lambert said he noticed something not heard enough about Detroit: passion.

“I saw passion in the people of downtown Detroit,” he said.

With that passion, he said, Detroit also is less inclined to harbor a standoffish attitude toward West Michigan due, in part, to the expansion of cultural amenities.

“Detroit leaders are coming over to ArtPrize,” Lambert said. “The tenor is significantly different. Detroit and West Michigan tend now to schedule events that are not on top of each other.”

It’s about adopting a different attitude, said Lambert.

“We need to stop trashing Detroit,” he said. “Great things are going on in Detroit. Detroit folks speak highly of West Michigan, about its entrepreneurship and public-private initiatives. They’re looking at that.”

Interior Painting: A Stair Story

Wednesday, 25 January 2012 by

If you have a two-story house or a basement, you probably do a lot of running up and down the stairs. The stairs may seem to take up a small amount of real estate in the house. However, they take the greatest beating. It may well be time to take a good look at them

Repainting Your Dining Room

Monday, 23 January 2012 by

If you grew up in a home anything like my parents’ house, then the dining room was pretty much off limits. It was a formal room that we used only when important guests came over, or when the guests we had couldn’t fit at our kitchen table. Still, I remember when my mother took down

There’s nothing like a finished basement. When I was little, this was a place where Nerf Gun wars and countless games of Mega Force took place. My brothers and I would set up the Mega Force action figures and create our own game. We would set up the battlefield, and use marbles to fire upon each other.

Tips on Painting Your Living Room

Wednesday, 18 January 2012 by

While the living room was once a fairly formal place to socialize, most people have gradually shifted toward a more casual, family-room style. However, first impressions still count, and that is no exception for the living/family room. When people enter your home, they often see the living room first.  You’ll want to make sure that they get

So by now, many of us are at least beginning to overcome the madness of the holidays. You sit back and think about what you would like to accomplish this year. You’ve thought about painting a room or painting furniture, but your mind goes back to the fact that you would really like to relax

Mackintosh Campus Appeal >

The Glasgow School of Art (GSA) is one of Europe's leading university-level institutions for the visual creative disciplines, with a proven history of producing some of the world’s most successful and influential practitioners.

Our ambition is to be global leaders in studio-based learning and research, collaborating locally, nationally and internationally, transforming thinking through developing creative approaches with new audiences. Realising this ambition over the next three years will see our student community and research activity increase by over 25% - and this strategic ambition needs to be matched by a transformation in our estate with the iconic, collaborative, Mackintosh-designed school of art at its core.

Over the last 10 years, the GSA has invested significantly in its estate from the Mackintosh Conservation and Access Project, the re-imagined Haldane Building, refurbished Library and the £50m Reid Building for the School of Design and the first phase of a wider campus redevelopment.

The Mackintosh Building fire in May 2014 has however, required the School to pause and reconsider its approach.

The Mackintosh Building

The GSA understands its responsibility to restore the Mackintosh Building, we are custodians of an iconic piece of world architectural heritage, and also recognised that it must be brought back to the heart of the campus as an appropriate, contemporary and safe academic environment.

Bringing back Mackintosh’s original academic configuration of a collaborative school of art, the restored Mackintosh Building will become home to our entire first year community, giving every student – emergent architect, designer and fine artist – an experience of studying in its inspirational spaces.

To be completed during academic year 2018/19, this requires an imaginative and bold approach to how we transform the rest of our estate.

The Stow Building

Located a short walk from the Mackintosh Building and heart of the GSA campus, the purchase of the former Stow College building is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to resolve our immediate estate’s needs. The original college building, imaginatively refurbished, will provide a new home and studios for the School of Fine Art, bringing its academic departments together in one building for the first time in over 50 years.

Covering approximately three acres, the former Stow College Campus provides the GSA with the space for future growth currently unavailable within the tight urban fabric of Garnethill.

The Future

At a total project cost of £80 million, the Mackintosh Campus Appeal will sympathetically and authentically restore the world-famous Mackintosh Building and return it to the heart of our campus, enable us to recover from the consequences of the fire and also fund the purchase and refurbishment of the Stow building.

The resultant transformation of our estate will be pivotal to our academic ambitions: for growth across our portfolio the creation of new studio spaces that encourage collaboration within and beyond our disciplines, with other academic partners, industry, the third sector and each other.

1. Additional Bus Route

Due to an increase in the number of students living in the northwest corner of Winkler, the board approved an additional bus route to transport students to the respective schools.

This new route will go into operation as soon as possible.

2. Enrolment Update

As reported earlier in September, overall student enrolment is up in the division. Because of the increase in student numbers in some schools, additional staffing will be provided to help address the needs.

The Superintendent is currently working with the schools in question to determine next steps.

3. Attendance Ad Hoc Committee

In spring of 2014, an ad hoc committee of the board was formed to review enrolments and examine issues in public, private, and homeschooling options within Garden Valley School Division.

After reviewing various data, the committee brought forward the following three recommendations which were approved by the board:

1. The Board draft a letter to the local MLA regarding the lack of alignment between two pieces of legislation - Learning to Age 18 and the Employment Standards code.

2. The Board's "Community Connections Committee" will focus on GVSD PR Strategies / Communication to ensure the public is aware of the various program options that are available through the school division.

3. Defer further investigation into an "Alternative School Setting" for one year.

Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2.2 brings Deltacloud support

  • submit to reddit

Red Hat logo

Red Hat has made a new version of its Enterprise MRG (Messaging, Realtime and Grid) product available. Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2.2 is based on Linux 3.2 which includes patches that were developed in the kernel's real time tree. The Messaging and Realtime components are used in the banking sector and other areas where transactions have to be processed within reliable time frames. According to Red Hat, the Grid capabilities control clusters that search for natural resources, render feature movies and compute new chip layouts.

The new version of the product also introduces a High Performance Networking (HPN) capability which prepares the product for supporting Remote Direct Memory Access over Converged Ethernet (RoCE). This will allow remote memory access over the network with less processing overhead. The Grid component of MRG, which is aimed at clustering applications, can now use Apache Deltacloud to access more computing resources on demand.

Other improvements include better Java performance in the Messaging component of MRG 2.2 and updates to the administrative interface. The update also fixes two security problems with the Apache Qpid daemon which is included in MRG. These vulnerabilities could allow attackers to perform a denial-of-service (DoS) attack and bypass client authentication on the server.

Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2.2 is optimised for use with version 6.2 or later of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), but it can be also used with RHEL 5.7. The Messaging and Grid components of the product can be used with Windows. An overview of the supported platforms for the different components can be found on Red Hat's web site. A full list of features is available in the release notes.

Exodus 10

Previous Chapter | Next Chapter

 1 Now the LORD said to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the heart of his servants, that I might show these my signs before him,

 2 And that you may tell in the hearing of your son and of your grandson the mighty things that I have done in Egypt, my signs that I have done among them, that you may know that I am the LORD."

 3 And Moses and Aaron came in to Pharaoh, and said to him, "Thus says the LORD God of the Hebrews, 'How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, that they may serve me.

 4 For if you refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring the locusts into your country.

 5 And they shall cover the face of the earth so that one cannot see the land; and they shall eat what escaped and is left over from the hail, and they shall eat every tree that grows for you out of the field;

 6 And they shall fill your houses, the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians, which neither your fathers nor your fathers' fathers have seen from the day that they were born until this day.'" Then he turned and went out from Pharaoh.

 7 And Pharaoh's servants said to him, "How long shall this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God. Do you not yet know that Egypt is destroyed?"

 8 So Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh; and he said to them, "Go, serve the LORD your God; but who are those who are going?"

 9 And Moses said, "We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go, for we must hold a feast to the LORD."

 10 And he said to them, "Let the LORD be with you, if I ever let you go with your little ones! Beware, for evil is ahead of your mind.

 11 Not so! Go now, [but only] you who are men, and serve the LORD, for that is what you desired." And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.

 12 And the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up on the land of Egypt and eat every plant of the land, all that the hail has left."

 13 And Moses stretched out his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.

 14 And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt and lit on all the country of Egypt. They were very grievous; never before were there such locusts as these, nor shall there be such after them.

 15 For they covered the face of the whole land, so that the land was darkened, and they ate every plant of the land and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left; and no green thing in the trees or the plants of the field remained throughout all the land of Egypt.

 16 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste, and he said, "I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you.

 17 Now therefore I pray you, forgive my sin only this once, and pray to the LORD your God, that he may only take away this death from me."

 18 So he went out from Pharaoh and prayed to the LORD.

 19 And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts and cast them into the Red sea; not one locust remained in all the land of Egypt.

 20 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go.

 21 And the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward the heavens, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even a darkness that can be felt."

 22 And Moses stretched out his hand toward the heavens, and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days.

 23 They could not see one another, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days; but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.

 24 Then Pharaoh called to Moses, and said, "Go, serve the LORD; let your little ones also go with you; only let your flocks and your herds stay."

 25 But Moses said, "You must give us sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.

 26 Our livestock also shall go with us; there shall not be a hoof left behind; for we must take them to serve the LORD our God, and we do not know with what we must serve the LORD until we arrive there."

 27 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.

 28 Then Pharaoh said to Moses, "Get away from me, be sure that you see my face no more; for on that day you see my face you shall die!"

 29 And Moses said, "You have spoken truly; I will never see your face again."

Wreck of the "Gairloch", near Oakura Beach, North Taranaki

The 345-ton SS Gairloch was a steel, twin-screw triple-masted steamer, built in Glasgow in 1884 especially for the Waitara trade. With room for 20 passengers and a ladies' cabin for 10, she was capable of carrying 100 bullocks, or 340 tons of cargo. During her relatively short ‘career’ the Gairloch plied the western North Island coastal route, transporting cargo between ports such as Onehunga, Raglan, Kawhia, New Plymouth, Opunake and Wanganui.

Unfortunately the Gairloch didn’t have a great track record when it came to safely navigating her way into and out of port. Her first stranding came just three years after she was built when she ran aground at the Waitara River mouth in 1887. That was just the beginning; she was to subsequently ground there four more times. In the Manukau Harbour she collided with another ship, and, in yet another incident, lost a propeller when she hit rocks after her rudder chains jammed. Jammed rudder chains also led to her being beached at the Wanganui River mouth in 1890.

On the calm, moonless night of 5 January 1903 the Gairloch finally ran aground for the last time. Sailing from Onehunga to Wanganui with a cargo of sugar, flour, cement, pipes and two carriages, she had only narrowly avoided a collision with her sister ship, the Ngapuhi, off New Plymouth just an hour before she hit rocks on the Timaru Reef near Oakura. Despite “thick” weather there was only a slight swell and light winds, and all crew members managed to make it shore safely following the grounding.

Over the following days and weeks most of the Gairloch’s cargo and fittings were successfully salvaged before she finally began to break up. Today, just over a century later, little remains. The most prominent part of the wreck is the starboard bow section in this photograph, surrounded by fragments of rusting steel and deeply weathered planks, slowly but relentlessly being reclaimed by the sea.

Avoid Shaking Hands as Much as Possible!

If you are a businessman or a celebrity you are most likely to shake or touch a hand than ordinary person. Shaking hand is a sign of welcome, friendship, greeting or respect. Every now and then you will be offered to shake hand or to embrace somebody. Friendly people received a lot of greeting from admirers or friends. I don’t know where it started but I did not bother also to make a research to where it originates. Most western people do it like in Europe and New World called America.
Shaking hands firmly will convey to him or her that you are sincere. It may convey different message depending on how firm and warm you accept others hand. Different countries, different greetings, like in Arab countries, their custom is to kiss your cheeks left and right. Of course this is man to man since you are not allowed to see their women. Doing this is a sign of brotherhood. In Pakistan you will see a man embracing his friend. In Japan you will see bowing each other as a greeting.
In United States shaking hands is the way of greeting, but do you think it is really necessary to do this? When I was eating in a restaurant, I happened to see a man washing his hands after using the urinal and since there is no soap or detergent, he just washed his hand with water and took his dry but used face towel to dry his hand and he was coughing so I presumed that he was suffering from fever and flu in a certain level. When he went out he met and asked a businessman to shake his hand. The man did it without a clue, after a week he got the influenza.
Shaking hands is one of the best ways to spread viruses and other contagious diseases. I think to bow like the Japanese is the best way of greetings. I am hoping that our government will impost the Japanese style of greeting.

Since you are claiming you want to "educate" yourself, let me educate you on something that you should know:

In the Arab culture you CAN see the woman but can't touch her skin. That's why they don't shake the hand of a marriageable man (adult person who she can get married to if she is single). I find it very ignorant and strange that you claim that in the Arab culture you can't show the woman. That's straight up brain-washing by the media. Thanks for your time.

A lesson in why its NEVER a good idea to let ldibarts (liberal Democrats) make financial decisions...This article is from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and they can't even be honest in reporting the lack of use of these 'never needed' runways...From the article: Lambert officials say the runway will be paid off by 2031, primarily through Federal Aviation Administration grants, airline landing fees, and passenger facility charges. Airlines using Lambert pay roughly 23 percent of the runway cost....Its no wonder the airlines are pulling out of St. Louis, Mo...

Man Jailed For Sexual Abuse Of Teenagers

27 May 2016, 16:32

Stephen Smith, of Creighton Avenue, Rawmarsh, was found guilty of 10 sexual offences following a trial at Sheffield Crown Court in February this year.

He was back in court today for sentencing and was jailed for a total of 10 years.
He will also have to sign on to the sex offender register indefinitely upon his release.
Investigating Officer Detective Constable Rachel Morton, said: “Smith took advantage of two vulnerable girls, subjecting them to numerous ordeals over a period of time.
“The investigation, launched in 2014, revealed the vile nature of Smith’s abuse and I would like to praise the two victims in coming forward to tell us what happened to them.
“They have been exceptionally brave and composed throughout this entire process and without their courage to come forward, Smith would not have been brought to justice today.
“Smith put two vulnerable children through a despicable ordeal and I hope that seeing him behind bars will go some way towards helping the victims and their families to move forward with their lives.”
Her Honour Judge Davies, on sentencing Smith, told him: “You have displayed a sexual attraction to female children, with elements of grooming and a strong element of persistence on your part.
“You exploited them for your own sexual gratification.

'DICjana' rose Description
'Peaudouce' rose photo
Photo courtesy of Re
Commercially available
HMF Ratings:
82 favorite votes.
Average rating: EXCELLENT.
Light yellow Hybrid Tea.
Registration name: DICjana
Exhibition name: Elina ®
Bred by Colin Dickson (United Kingdom, 1984). Bred by Patrick Dickson (United Kingdom, 1984).
Hybrid Tea.
Light yellow.  Mild fragrance.  35 petals.  Average diameter 6".  Large, double (17-25 petals) bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.
Height of 42" to 4' (105 to 120 cm).  Width of 30" to 31" (75 to 80 cm).
USDA zone 7b and warmer.  Disease susceptibility: very disease resistant, susceptible to Mildew.  Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.  Requires spring freeze protection (see glossary - Spring freeze protection) .  Can be grown in the ground or in a container (container requires winter protection).
New Zealand - Patent No: 476  on  18 Jul 1989
NZ Patent is granted for 23 years and will expire in July 2012
Elina is reportedly healthy and disease-resistant. Sometimes mildew can develop later in the season in areas where this can happen.

Sherry Schaefer writes: I grow 'Elina' and while it produces gorgeous flowers that
always elicit "oohs" and "ahhhs" from my friends, I may replace it in the coming years because it doesn't produce that many flowers, despite the long-blooming season in the San Francisco Bay Area (April into December). It seems to use more water than my other roses. On days
above 85 degrees the tops of the canes wilt and the flowers wilt or burn. My biggest insect problem is thrips and they just love this rose. 'Elina' is definitely in the thrips' Hall of Fame. I spray for thrips every other week and I haven't managed to get a blossom free of
thrip damage yet, although I'm getting close to my goal. I wish this rose was easier to keep because I do love its large and beautiful flowers, but with 70 roses on my Wish List, 'Elina' just may be pruned with a shovel, as Ray Reddell likes to say, to make way for something hardier that blooms in greater profusion.

Breeder John Sheldon provided the following information about this rose: Some roses fade in the sun, some roses darken in the sun, some roses actually change color in the sun. Roses such as 'Elina','Double Delight', 'Headliner', 'Color Magic' and 'Paradise' all show these traits. In my breeding program, I have worked on making them more dramatic and bringing in new genes. And... it was an area of hybridizing that others were ignoring. At on point these traits were seen as faults. 'Double Delight' was almost discarded because it was thought to be just another WHITE rose. Only later were it's phototropic characteristics seen when it turned red in the sun.

'Anaïs Ségalas' rose Reviews & Comments
Discussion id : 98-407
most recent 6 APR HIDE POSTS
Initial post 5 APR by Margaret Furness
A rose which is a survivor (used to be common on roadsides in damper areas of the Adelaide Hills) is known as Anais Segalas in Australia and NZ. However we've been told that it's incorrect. It looks like the found rose shown in photo 195671. It is in mauve shades, paling a little with age, and difficult to reproduce with a digital camera. Lovely scent, spring-only, suckers and clambers through other plants. Mine doesn't set hips. It has some bristles but not much in the way of prickles.
Reply #1 of 2 posted 6 APR by Patricia Routley
For the Heritage Roses in Australia index, are you referring to "Evandale Workman’s Cottage"?
If so, I need to mark it - Not Anais Segalas.
Reply #2 of 2 posted 6 APR by Margaret Furness
From Pat's description, I suppose that's it.

In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.  Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood..  Requires spring freeze protection (see glossary - Spring freeze protection) .
Breeder's notes:
Name "George's Pride" submitted to IRAR on April 16th 2007.
PLEASE NOTE : This is a sport of my miniature 'Glowing Amber'

Here now some basic information about this mini sport : (more detailed info about bloom, habit & growing coming soon)
The bloom form, foliage and growing habits are identical to 'Glowing Amber'.
-----The blooms open "Just as slow" as 'Glowing Amber's.-----
In my opinion the blooms are more colorful than those of 'Amber Star' (first sport of 'Glowing Amber') and the foliage is dark green like 'Glowing Amber' s compared to 'Amber Star's' foliage which is a grayish light green.
The dark green and shiny foliage is above average disease resistant, as are all my other introductions (mainly minis) in the last 12 to 15 years. Some of my roses can go 2 to 3 months, or longer, without spraying a fungicide.
This rose will be available from Select Roses & Hortico by about July 2007.

Tears of joy for Clever Boys

Bidvest Wits owner Brian Joffe, right, celebrates with coach Gavin Hunt as Wits take the PSL title
after winning their Absa Premiership match against Polokwane City at the Bidvest Stadium
Picture: Gallo Images

Emotional Hunt describes Wits title victory as biggest highlight in his coaching career

It’s just crazy. But to do it with a club of this size and magnitude‚ I think it’s a great achievement

“This is the best one‚” Gavin Hunt exclaimed after winning his fourth league title and first for Bidvest Wits in their 96-year history with Wednesday night’s 2-0 Absa Premiership win against Polokwane City.

It is not often you will see a tough-as-nails‚ hard-to-please man like Hunt shed tears.

It said much of the effort the coach has put into building Wits into a force in South African football that Hunt could not hold back the tears in his post-match TV interview on an emotional night at the Bidvest Stadium.

After three seasons of being “nearly-men” under Hunt‚ finishing third‚ third and second in the league‚ and with no cup trophies‚ 2016-17 has paid back the dividends and then some for Wits with an MTN8 and PSL double.

In doing so‚ Hunt put to rest suggestions he had lost his league title-winning edge‚ joining Ted Dumitru and Gordon Igesund on four championships.

At 52‚ and with the drive as strong as ever for the ultra-competitive coach‚ there are surely more to come.

“This is the best one. Well‚ every one is the best one‚ isn’t it?” Hunt said‚ having recovered his characteristic gruff composure speaking to the media.

“It’s just crazy. But to do it with a club of this size and magnitude‚ I think it’s a great achievement.

“Like what I did with Seven Stars – for me that’s the greatest achievement ever in my life. To go unbeaten in 75 games.

“This for me is the biggest achievement‚ because taking a club of this size to win in South Africa is not easy.”

Asked about doubts that had been raised‚ compounded by being overlooked for the Bafana Bafana job yet again as Stuart Baxter was appointed this month‚ Hunt replied with his characteristic mix of sarcasm and dry‚ tothe-point humour.

“What do I know about football? I know less and less. Anyway – I’m not going to get involved here now. OK‚ can I go?”

Somewhat awkwardly deflected‚ but point made.

Wits have played an aggressive brand of front-foot‚ physical‚ technically proficient‚ percentage football that few teams could contend with in 2016-17.

It was almost a replica of the dominant SuperSport United Hunt guided to successive titles from 2008 to 2010.

Never pleased‚ Hunt said Wits could have wrapped up the title – going to 60 points‚ four clear of second-placed Mamelodi Sundowns‚ on Wednesday – earlier than with a game to spare.

“In December‚ we drew four games, we lost to Cape Town City here in the 90th minute.

“We should have been well clear, but‚ you know‚ we got ourselves back in the race. And any time you make 60 points and above you’ve done well.

“We could have done it much easier, but we’ve done it‚ so don’t worry about it – what’s gone is gone.” And Hunt has no plans to rest. Success breeds expectation‚ and he knows Wits will want more now they have had a taste of it.

“They [the club] are going to expect an improvement. That’s fine if you sign players.

“But I mean‚ we’ve got what we’ve got‚ and we’ll battle away.

“As long as we keep the mentality of‚ ‘Don’t get ahead of ourselves and battle away’‚ we can achieve.”

Martin Logan Ethos loudspeaker review

Hi-Fi World, January 2011 issue

Being aficionados of the electrostatic loudspeaker at Hi-Fi World, we have tested and used most of the Quads ever produced, plus a good number of Kingsounds and many Martin Logans too – and Martin Logans are as good as electrostatics get. So the announcement of the new Martin Logan Ethos had us scrabbling for the phone to get a pair for review.

There’s not been one Martin Logan I have not enjoyed, so I had high hopes for the Ethos – and they weren’t dashed. It’s expensive, costing £6,498, but we’re looking here at a model quite a way up the Martin Logan range and for a top quality loudspeaker of its great and unusual abilities this is a reasonable price.
If you’re wondering what an electrostatic loudspeaker is all about, just think ‘transparency’. As in transparency of sound and with a Martin Logan panel, physical transparency too. Here’s a loudspeaker that physically communicates its strengths: how many loudspeakers can you see through? Electrostatic loudspeakers produce sound from a sheet of 'Clingfilm' hung in the open air (well, sort of). There’s no cone flapping around and no box to honk – so forget colouration!

Notionally, an electrostatic loudspeaker is perfect – and believe me, they sound divine. What you get with the Ethos is Martin Logan’s top quality XStat electrostatic panel, mated to a powered subwoofer, in a room-friendly package. Although standing almost 5ft tall each unit weighs 19kgs, or 42lbs, so once in place they are not immovable like some top quality monitors. A little under one foot wide, they don’t dominate the domestic landscape either and that’s how Martin Logan play it. Look at rivals and you’ll find they are more visually intrusive, including Quads of course. The main reason is that Martin Logan choose not to produce bass from their electrostatic panel (except in the large CLX), but from the small box that supports it, in which there is a conventional bass unit that works below 375Hz. That makes the Ethos a hybrid electrostatic, unlike Quads and the bigger Kingsounds.

Like all electrostatics each Ethos needs mains power, to charge the panel stators to a high static voltage and to drive the internal Class D 200W bass power amplifier. Mains power connection is through a normal IEC three pin socket and power consumption at idle is just 1 Watt. This model has a bass level control able to apply both boost and cut. It doesn’t simply cut signal level to the woofer, but affects deep bass output below 100Hz, offering substantial amounts of boost or cut when set to maximum.

I should quickly mention that the Spire, sitting above the Ethos in Martin Logan's premium Reserve ESL Series, has more bass control functions, whilst the new and less expensive Theos below it has a passive subwoofer and can be bi-wired or bi-amped, so is more flexible in the bass department. The Ethos is a quality model aimed at those who don’t want to fiddle. It has just enough bass control to allow easy adjustment with a self evident outcome. The bass knob, which has a centre zero detent, is turned one way or t’other to suit both taste and room conditions. It’s zero position will suit bigger rooms and a position far from walls. In our 28ft square listening room -3 to -4 was about right, on a scale of +/-10, so there is plenty of leeway.

The only criticism I would make of a hybrid like this is that small bass cabinets have limitations and putting a 200 Watt amplifier inside doesn’t solve them. Quite the reverse. Martin Logan have taken the opportunity to force the bass unit to produce subsonics it would not otherwise have produced, resulting in very large cone excursions and a huge amount of rear radiated energy that has to go somewhere; back out through the cones, making for a boxy sound. You can’t trap an elephant in a small box and hope it won’t be heard. Our measurements confirm this and if there is one criticism of Martin Logans it is that their bass tends to be not too well matched to the lithe electrostatic panel.

martin-logan-ethos-under You have to accept that there is a trade-off here. The Ethos is compact and domestically friendly, yet it’s still a fabulous sounding electrostatic loudspeaker. You get a sensible marriage of principles that gives results to die for in many ways, at a sane price too. But small boxes do not produce superb bass and they cannot be forced to do so. Also, electrostatic panels are open backed ‘dipoles’ whilst bass bins are closed box ‘monopoles’ with entirely different radiation patterns and you’ll always detect a difference between them. That’s why Quads are full range panels, as are the bigger Kingsounds and Martin Logan’s top model, the CLX. Such loudspeakers are both big and room sensitive though. The Ethos is a domestically acceptable and adaptable package. To speed bass up they really needed a high pass filter at 40Hz and this would have been a useful option in the onboard DSP. However, turning bass level down helped improve quality all round so some amelioration is available.

The great Martin Logan XStat electrostatic panel is the crucial part that is an almost-invisible wonder. That it is see-through is not a trivial fact. I found out long ago whilst progressively stripping my Quad ESL-63s that every layer degraded the sound. Off came the cosmetic brown cloth sock: it sounded better. Then I removed the perforated metal safety covers and suddenly I felt I could hear a pin drop through these loudspeakers. Finally, off came the dust covers and it just got better again. Martin Logan stripped the panel right back to basics very cleverly, so what looks simple is in truth an ingenious design extremely well engineered. The charged stators, those perforated outer black panels, have a protective coating so the cat will survive contact with them, and Martin Logan say the panels and films can be vacuumed to remove dust. The curve improves lateral dispersion and smooths response by lessening phase cancellations/ additions. A special film from DuPont onto which a conductive coat is applied is used.

Inside the bass enclosure there’s polarising power supply and an audio step-up transformer and a crossover that keeps bass out of the panel, usefully limiting excursion of the film. Any electrostatic is complicated and the technology, especially of film coating and behaviour, is obscure and difficult to implement. Which is why there are so few electrostatic loudspeakers around, why the Ethos XStat panel is particularly clever and why this loudspeaker is also keenly priced for what it is. Measurement revealed a smoother response than the less expensive panel of the Purity and Source models in the ESL range, which we tested in our Sept 08 and Nov 08 issues. It was also very consistent off the main listening axis, so as I walked around the basic tonal balance remained the same. This made the listening sweet spot uncritical and it made the Ethos enjoyable to others in the room, rather than dull except to those in the favoured spot on the settee.

Although a lot of audio religion surrounds electrostatic loudspeakers they are simple enough and fuss free to use, the Ethos especially so. Where my Quad ESL-57s and their doppelgangers, a pair of Brauns I owned for a short time, both sparked viciously if I got too carefree with the volume control, Martin Logans avoid this scenario. They turn on quietly and do not so much as murmur in use. A small LED at the rear lights red or blue indicating no-signal/signal, but nothing is visible from the front. I didn’t push the bass bin too hard but both the bass unit and especially the underside mounted ABR (auxiliary bass radiator), moved large distances and were obviously working very hard but Martin Logan told me the onboard DSP monitors amplifier and drive units to prevent overload.

Where Quad ESL-63s would ‘crowbar’ an amplifier if overloaded, causing it to blow up, the Martin Logans do no such thing. And where Kingsounds are very insensitive and need high drive voltages (i.e. very powerful amplifiers) the Martin Logans managed a very healthy 91dB sound pressure level from just 1W of power in our tests, putting them on par with the best box loudspeakers. So the Ethos can be used with low power amplifiers: 20 Watts will do and 40W should be enough.
Some of you may be wondering, as I did, how Martin Logan have arranged signal processing in the Ethos. From the single pair of input terminals the signal goes via a 375Hz high pass filter into the audio step-up transformer and direct to the electrostatic panel. Our impedance curve confirms this; if there was any buffer device it would not sink to one ohm at 20kHz! So the XStat panel works direct from whatever amplifier is being used to drive the loudspeaker.

Matters are very different below 375Hz. The amplifier’s output is attenuated, converted to digital via a 24bit ADC, processed in a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), then converted back to analogue via an DAC before being fed to a Class D amplifier which drives the bass unit that reaches up into the low midrange in the Ethos, so you are faced with listening to a heavily processed signal below 375Hz, and Class D solid-state amplification. I guessed, when measuring the Ethos, that Martin Logan had equalised it electronically to boost bass for an extended subsonic response, because small boxes don’t reach flat down to 20Hz on their own, and they confirmed this.

I tried both our resident Musical Fidelity AMS50 Class A solid-state amplifier (50 Watts) and the also resident Icon Audio MB845 MkII valve amplifier (100W). Valve amps are known to be a good match to electrostatics, quality wise and because they tolerate a capacitive load that sinks to 1 Ohm or less at 20kHz (this is a freakout for solid-state amps., so most have protective Zobel networks to cope). As expected, the valve amplifier gave best results, with its slight sense of warmth from the Jensen paper-in-oil, copper foil caps perfect for the XStat panel.

I was only listening to the valve amplifier above 375Hz of course; below this frequency I was listening to a signal that had been converted to digital, processed, turned back to analogue then passed through a 200W solid-state amplifier.

Days 159 & 160: Through Mist and Mud

We awoke to a world with all detail removed; a dense mist had turned everything into a murky outline at best. Carefully making our way to the boat we were headed upriver by 6am. The jungle was even more striking and mysterious with the mist clinging to the water. The rainforests of Borneo are the oldest in the world, dating back 130 million years, and it was easy to feel as though we had been transported to another time as we hummed up the waters alone, the rays from an early morning sun struggling through twisted branches and layer after layer of fog.

The Silver Langur mother with her bright orange baby.

Breakfast provided a short break before it was off on a 3 hour jungle trek. Going deeper into the jungle meant that the mud got deeper, too. With not as much time to get Craig's "MacGyver'd" boots well constructed, it wasn't long before a tear had mud pouring in over his hiking boots. We didn't see much, but we saw more than promised. Arshad sold the hike as being long, hot, muddy and wet, and that we wouldn't see anything except for lots and lots of leeches.

We saw a millipede that we had also seen in Sepilok, but Arshad showed us something new about it. He took he machete and using the dull side, pressed it against the millipede's back moving down along its figurative spine. The result was similar to cutting into a particularly juicy plump orange, a clear liquid shot out several feet. Arshad then told us that this poisonous liquid is its defence mechanism, though not deadly, it would leave us very puffed up should we come in contact with it. We added another hornbill to our list making the total 5 of the 8 species found in Borneo. Craig won the leech challenge finding over 20 of them on him, but Diane became pretty confident in flicking them off of herself and nearby hikers by the end of the hike.

By the time we had reached the turn around point, a lake that sometimes has plentiful bird life, it didn't for us, Craig was soaked with mud from the knee down and had sweat more than he ever had in his life. The hike back was slightly faster as everyone was no doubt dreaming of a cold shower and a nice lunch.

The afternoon was relaxing as we tried to find the coolest place to while away the hottest hours of the day before our afternoon cruise. We were to sneak down to the docks to leave 15 minutes early as the pygmy elephants found in Kinabatangan were last seen very far upriver, and our plan was to go as far as Arshad could allowably go before we had to turn back lest we run out of fuel and have to drift back in the darkness. Sadly we didn't see the world's smallest elephants but we got great views of Proboscis monkeys and others, as well as a broadbill, a rare stork, many herons, several different eagles and hawk species and multiple brightly coloured kingfishers.

We had another great cruise the following morning before departing to bus back to Sandakan to fly to KK.

Ultra Cozy Cable Knit Boots

cable knit boots

I tend to wear shearling lined boots on cold days to keep my feet comfortable and toasty.  Warm feet are not just for feeling great but are also vital for your overall health.  These Cable Knit Nepal Boots from TOMS have just the right mix of function and fashion!

I actually prefer the cable knit style over the rest of the Nepal boots.  There are three colors available – chestnut, light grey (shown), navy.  I like that the boots are not as bulky as other shearling boots.  The cable knit upper makes it ultra cute and the lining looks so cuddly soft.  WANT!!!  You can scoop up a pair here or here.

The spirit of a traditional Hawaiian wooden surfboardについて

The spirit of a traditional Hawaiian wooden surfboard

Tom “Pohaku” Stone is a legendary native Hawaiian wave rider who has dedicated his life to protecting and spreading the Hawaiian culture and heritage.

He truly epitomizes and embodies the concept of the waterman.

In this beautifully edited short film directed by Bradley Tangonan, we are invited to witness and understand the original roots of surfing.

The process of “building” is a surfboard involves more than the wood itself. It is also a spiritual ritual that transcends craftsmanship and embraces the elements and the gods.

“As a kid, I wanted a surfboard – that brand new shiny fiberglass surfboard. My dad got a piece of wood, started carving it in the traditional way,” explains “Pohaku” Stone.

“At the end of it, I told my dad I hated it. I didn’t want it. He just took the board, threw it in the fire pit, and burned it.”

“One night I go to sleep and start to have dreams. And I remember the board. That was the beginning of my journey. A search for that essence of what surfing really is all about – tradition,” explains the Hawaiian surfer.
