Istock Promo Code: Achieving a Designer’s Image Requirements

istock-photo-achieve-designersAs a designer, you should not take choosing stock images lightly. You should not think that you can get away with any image and your readers and clients will give you a free pass. Designing a website for highly mature audiences has become more difficult due to the people’s ability identify between a high-quality stock image and irrelevant, low-quality ones. Remember that a bad image can ruin a design, negatively impacting user experience and user interface.

Thankfully, you can increase your credibility by promoting a positive user experience, convenient user interface and good website conversion ratio with an iStockphoto promo code. An iStock promo code gives you the opportunity to access the stock site’s premium image collection and cut down costs on stock images. Here are five core focus on choosing the right image to meet your requirements as a designer.

  • The Visual Hook. Plenty of website have text-heavy pages. While they also incorporate stock images, they do not make these photos the centerpiece of the page. Some readers prefer text because they are a good read, but it does not radiate a very enjoyable reading experience. What can you do about it? Sign up to iStock and get an iStock promo code to purchase and download images to replace your text. By doing so, you will surely hook more visitors.
  • People. Images of people can boost the conversion ratio of a website. However, it is important that you use people photos that your readers will come across in other websites. Fortunately, iStock has a large collection of images that gives your design an authentic and professional feel.
  • Emotions. To notch up the conversion rate of a website, you should consider getting images that express emotions. The right stock images evoke emotions that your audience will feel when they use your brand or when they read your blog. For instance, fun images of people with satisfied expressions will make your audience think that they will also feel the same when they use your brand. istock-photo-promo-code
  • Apply Effort. As a designer, there will be times when your client will not give specific instructions regarding the use of images. Some do not even have a budget set aside for them. This means that you will be forced to use free images. Fortunately, there are iStockphoto free creative files every week. You just need to sign up for the website to access these freebies weekly.
  • Importance. Images are more than just decorative elements. They are the key driver for a website’s success. As long as you choose the right images from the right stock photo agency, you will be able to create a successful creative project. Keep in mind that the efficacy of an images neither begin nor end with its visual appeal. There are other characteristics that go into choosing the right image for a site.

Stylebook: About My Use of the Dash in the Word “G-d”

By Debbie Schlussel
A number of readers ask why I use a hyphen in the word “G-d”. It’s something I’ve explained occasionally on this site, but for new readers, I am happy to explain again.
As a religious Jew who attended a private Jewish elementary school, I was taught by my parents and teachers never to use the name G-d in vain. In that light, we were always taught never to write out the full name, whether in Hebrew or English. We were always taught to use hyphens or dashes and/or abreviations.
That’s why I spell the word “G-d”. Rest assured, it’s entirely out of respect–NOT diminution or denigration–for the omniscient, monotheistic power greater than us all.

while I agree with your position, G-d is His title, not His name. You know His name, which, out of respect, I never write, type and rarely say.

Klaatu on September 25, 2008 at 12:14 pm

For those who are interested, here is a Bible lesson for you.
God’s real name is spelled “YHWH”. That’s as he gave it to Moses, in Hebrew.
But in ancient Herbew, they didn’t use vowels in their writing. You need to pick that up by context. So there is some confusion about how God’s name is pronounced.
“YahWeH” is one spelling, pronounced “Yaw-way”.
“YeHoVah” is another, more English version, pronounced “Jeh-hoe-vah”.
For me, His name is Jesus, God come down as a man, as our passover lamb. The rose of Charon. The bright and the morning star. Prince of Peace. The lily of the valley. Emmanual, God with us…
I know him as the Revealer of Secrets in the Book of Revelation because every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. On judgment day, every secret will be made known. Please live your life accordingly.

Posted by: GOLDENMIKE4393]
Jesus is the bright and morning star? Isn’t that like saying Jesus is Lucifer? 😛
And btw, Emmanuel and Jesus are two different names. The use of Emmanuel in the gospels was a way to connect the name of Jesus to prior biblical prophecy. It’s a sham!
And Deb,
Just type G-O-D. You’re not going to be struck by lightening and you don’t have to explain this again.

Norman Blitzer on September 25, 2008 at 4:04 pm

o k i get the g-d thing but why do they wear the funny hats ??i will have to wach the movie again??

drew on September 25, 2008 at 4:11 pm

Thanks for the explanation Debbie. It was useful to many Christians and non-Christians who don’t understand what G-d means. I knew what it meant, but always spelled God as God.
To Norman Blitzer the mozzlem: Maybe you can ask mozlems to spell “allah” or “profitable mohammed” without the PUBH or PBHU whatever it means. Hopefully you won’t be struck by lightning or someone’s knife. Don’t you know that Lucifer took a new form called profet “pedo” mohammed and allah was his messenger (or the other way round).

anonymous twit on September 25, 2008 at 4:17 pm

There is also a rule when it comes to pronouncing G-d’s name in Hebrew. We do not say it unless we are praying. We do not say it when we are learning from the Bible. We substitute something that translates into English as “the Name”.
There are some exceptions to this (like when one is practicing to read from the Bible so they will be able to read it in front of the congregation during a service), but for the most part the rule holds.

I_am_me on September 25, 2008 at 4:19 pm

Dear Debbie:
As you know, I’m not much of a theologian. But my understanding is that we don’t spell out Gd’s name (I prefer to leave the hyphen out because it’s less typing and I’m lazy) in a medium that will get destroyed.
Gd’s name is spelled out in every prayer book I’ve ever used. That is why (I think) we do not destroy prayer books but rather archive them in some manner. (We usually kept the old ones under the Synagogue stage.)
Anyway, that’s my understanding.
Hey! I get razzed about it too.

There is NO Santa Claus on September 25, 2008 at 5:15 pm

I generally have been taught in Jewish day school as well to spell G-d with the dash. I do feel it is consistant in that we don’t write the hebrew name of G-d either nor do we pronounce it.
Point taken that if you do write it in the hebrew then the paper or book can’t be discarded because of it.

Owners reveal their pets’ strangest sleeping habits

editorial image

With almost half of Brits (43%) declaring that their pet has a positive impact on their stress levels, it’s hardly a surprise that we have become a nation obsessed with our furry companions.

They can be greedy, loud and love to invade our personal space but we wouldn’t be without them.

In fact, research by online bed specialist, Time 4 Sleep, found that over a third of us can’t resist a cuddle with our pet even when we’re in bed, with 37% of Brits admitting that they regularly let their dog or cat sleep in or on their bed.

If there’s one thing we love most about our little best friends, it’s their ability to fall asleep anywhere. Time 4 Sleep is now calling for people to submit photos of their pets snoozing in the strangest places and has launched a competition to find the UK’s sleepiest pet, for the chance to win a £75 Amazon voucher.

Some pet owners already revealed some of the strangest and most hilarious places they have found their pet asleep, including; in a plant pot, around the toilet bowl, in a doll’s pram and in the slow cooker!

However, not all pet owners are quite as lenient with where they let their pets rest their heads. When it comes to allowing pets to sleep in the same bed, 21% of people in the UK stated that they have never allowed their dog or cat to sleep in or on the bed and a further 21% revealed that they are completely against pets sleeping in or on their owners’ bed.

The research also discovered that women are more likely to sleep with their pet than men, with 42% admitting that they regularly allow their pet to sleep on their bed compared with 30% of men.

When it comes to misbehaving, our pets aren’t afraid of being a little bit mischievous either. In fact, research revealed the naughtiest and most embarrassing things our pets have ever done to be:

· Eating their owner’s food without permission (32%)

· Weeing indoors (31%)

· Humping a guest’s leg (17%)

· Eating a guest’s food (15%)

· Eating their own poo (12%)

So, just how are our pets affecting our mental wellbeing?

Sarah Mackie, Writer and area co-ordinator at Pets as Therapy, says: “It comes as no surprise to pet owners around the country that pets positively affect our mental health. Pets rely upon us to feed and take care of them, providing an innate sense of purpose and giving loyalty and affection in return, an exchange that is well documented will lead to a longer and more fulfilled life.

“Our primal need for the feeling of a safe place is often filled by a pet, whose steady heartbeat and lack of personal space provide the perfect conditions for calm.

“Whether sleeping with your pet is a good idea or not is a more complex question. A married couple sharing their bed with anything larger than a spaniel is, in my opinion, akin to sharing with a sprawling toddler – all bony bits and wriggling! However, for those people who might otherwise sleep alone, then an animal takes the place of a teddy and, as such, can aid to a very restful sleep indeed.”

Jonathan Warren, director at Time 4 Sleep, said: “Our pet photos dominate our photo albums and social media pages. A hilarious pet snap will always get people talking and laughing.

“It’s clear to see that our pets have a positive effect on our mental health so you can understand why so many people are happy for their pets to sleep in or on their bed.

“From pampered pooches to cuddly cats, we love nothing more than snapping and sharing photos of our pets. That’s why we’re calling for everyone to get involved in our Sleepy Pets competition, to celebrate the fantastic relationship between owners and their pets.”

Scottish homeowners optimistic about house prices

Scottish homeowners believe their renovation and decorative works has led to a �11,437 increase in property value.
Scottish homeowners believe their renovation and decorative works has led to a �11,437 increase in property value.

Research from Co-op Insurance has revealed that 91% of homeowners think their house value has increased since they bought it - by an average of £27,542.

Nationally, the study which questioned 1,000 UK homeowners has found that 31% of homeowners bought their property with their eye firmly on how much money they could make from their investment.

Of these, a reliance on house prices increasing generally was the main way (62%) homeowners were hoping this would happen.

Location was also a key deciding factor with over a third (34%) buying in an already desirable area whilst 32% of people did their research and sought out properties in areas classed as ‘up and coming’. Whilst 29% bought a home in clear need of renovation.

Changing rooms is a common theme, with 76% of homeowners in the UK making changes to their property since they moved in.

Of these, 60% believe the renovation works they’ve completed has led to an increase in value. On average, the renovation and decorative work that homeowners have invested in came to £18,224. This means that, on average, homeowners are seeing a £14,900 profit as a result of these works.

Homeowners in London have seen the biggest average rise in profit thanks to renovation and decorative works with 94% believing their property has increased in value by £21,499. However in Northern Ireland, despite 78% of people thinking their value has increased, it doesn’t look to be down to décor or renovation work, with an average loss of £205 being recorded when you compare spend on renovations versus potential value increases.

Kitchen is king when it comes to the rooms homeowners should renovate if they are looking to entice new buyers, with 56% believing it is this room that really sells a home. For a quarter of buyers, the living room is the second most desirable selling feature of a home. Bathrooms, whilst third on the list when it comes to saleability, are only important to 4% of homebuyers according to the research.

Over three quarters (76%) of homeowners have made changes to their homes since they bought them with décor being the most popular choice to spruce up a new pad (73%), followed by, the often more expensive, refitting kitchens (67%) and bathrooms (65%).

Caroline Hunter, Head of Home Insurance at Co-op, said: “Our study shows that homeowners believe by investing in décor and bigger renovation works they are adding value to their homes for future years.

“Kitchens have long been lauded as the heart of the home and our study continues to solidify this, with over half of homeowners believing that this is the room of the house that could make, or break, a sale.

“Whilst they are a big draw for prospective buyers, they can be expensive, therefore it’s important to revisit your home insurance policy to ensure you have the right level of cover in place during the building works, to protect you from additional risks during the work. Don’t assume your builder will have insurance in place that covers you in every eventuality.”

Scottish mountain safety scheme for students is expanded

A group of students at the summit of Cairngorm.
A group of students at the summit of Cairngorm.

The success of a ground-breaking winter mountain safety partnership between St John Scotland and Mountaineering Scotland has led to its expansion into the autumn months as well as winter.

The project, funded by St John Scotland, is aimed at young people, with an experienced mountain safety instructor working directly with members of Scottish university mountaineering clubs.

Practicing ice axe breaking

Practicing ice axe breaking

The scheme began in the winter of 2015-16, when Nick Carter MIC took up the new post and over the season attended 11 weekend meets with 10 different university mountaineering clubs.

He worked with the clubs, giving on-the-hill training to 86 students, teaching them about winter skills, winter mountaineering and winter climbing, depending on their existing levels of experience.

He also gave evening winter safety lectures to 181 students and gave informal advice to many more as they discussed their plans and preparations.

By the end of the first season St John Scotland was so impressed by what the project had achieved that it was extended to include this winter and next.

Now the organisation, which also provides substantial levels of funding for Scottish mountain rescue teams, has agreed to expand the scheme into the universities’ autumn term.

This will allow pre-winter training which will prepare often inexperienced students in advance of the less forgiving conditions in winter.

Nick said: “Feedback from students who took part last winter was that more days of training would be very welcome. Winter weekends were already fully booked, so I suggested to St John Scotland that I could work with student clubs on their autumn weekend meets. This will allow me to give instruction to more young people and to teach general hill skills which will make a good foundation for the winter season.

“It will also give some opportunities to teach other important aspects of mountaineering, like scrambling and rock climbing, which cannot be done in the winter.”

Training weekends have already started for this winter and are fully booked. Now St John Scotland has confirmed that in addition to next winter’s sessions, they will fund 20 days’ training for clubs through September and October this year.

Angus Loudon, St John Scotland’s Executive Director, said: “Following the success of Nick’s mountain safety training for students, St John Scotland is delighted to confirm the expansion of his post to include the autumn months, providing more training for Scottish university mountaineering clubs.

“The work he does with young people is critical, and ensures climbers are equipped with the necessary skills to deal with Scotland’s often treacherous terrain and conditions. We look forward to continuing to work with Nick, and wish him all the best for the exciting year ahead.”

David Montieth, Mountaineering Scotland’s director for mountain safety, said: “The extension of the mountain safety instructor programme into the autumn months provides an opportunity to further improve the basic hill skills of Scottish students so vital for their forthcoming winter adventures.

“Nick Carter is a hugely experienced MIC who blends the vital components of technical competence with an approachable personality, which enables him to relate so well to the students. As such he is the ideal man to front this ground-breaking collaboration between St John Scotland and Mountaineering Scotland.”

The Salted Caramel Whiskey Project

Under the heat of June – or was it July – an idea was hatched to combine Salted Caramel Sauce from the soon to be world famous kitchen of Helliemae’s Salt Caramel, and Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey.  Definitely discussed with beer in hand, something undoubtedly sour, with Ellen Helliemae herself.  We are very lucky to have a fan like Ellen; we often have the privilege of being taste testers for new Helliemae’s products.  I knew at first taste that the very rich, deeply sweet, and somewhat bitter (in a good way) caramel sauce would be the perfect compliment to the malty caramelized flavors that help to make Stranahan’s Whiskey one of the best.

With the first snow of the season behind us, and the Holidays right around the corner, it was time to get in the kitchen and see if this combination was possible.  First acquire product, which was paramount with Stranahan’s being in short supply.  After another discussion with Ellen for more specific info on the caramel sauce, a couple of sour beers, a quart of salted caramel sauce to play with was delivered.

Most of the time, infusing flavors – herbs, spices, sugars, fruit, etc. –  is really not all that difficult.  Always start with quality products, make a test batch – something like a pint (mason jars work great) – and don’t be afraid to over do it with the flavor.  You can always reduce that flavor by adding more of the straight base liquor.

Infusing anything with fat can be tricky; fat and liquid do not generally work very well together.  Different kinds of fat create different challenges in their removal.  Having never tried infusing something with dairy fat, I was not so sure of the outcome.  After a consultation with an expert – Kevin Burke – the process I had in mind was confirmed and it was time to get down to business.

Step One – The infusion.

  • One 750ml bottle of Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey
  • 1-cup Helliemae’s Salted Caramel Sauce
  • Double Boiler
  • Small Whisk
  • Heat proof food grade plastic or glass container, with lid, of at least 4-quart size.

For best results, break the whiskey and caramel down into quarter measurements. It is possible to infuse the entire bottle at one time, you just need a really large double boiler.

Place caramel sauce in double boiler, heat gently, and stir constantly with whisk.  Once the caramel sauce reaches a workable viscosity – about 4 minutes – slowly pour in whiskey. Once the infusion is complete, there should be no visible caramel sauce on bottom of pan. Pour into the container.

Repeat as necessary until there is no more whiskey and caramel sauce.

Step 2 – Fat Washing in the Freezer

Place covered container in the freezer.  Check after 24 hours, may take longer depending on the freezer.

The fat from the caramel sauce will rise to the top.  There should be a clear delineation, which is when you know this Fat Washing step is complete.

When infusing liquor with other kinds of fat, think bacon, this process takes several days.  The fat layer is removed until no more rises to the top.  Dairy fat is different.

The resulting top layer of fat should be thick, creamy in texture (thank you super heavy cream in the caramel sauce), and full of caramel whiskey flavor.  The underlying layer, darker in color, will be more boozy and sweet with less actual caramel flavor.  Figure out how much of each you prefer.  Skimming off roughly 3 tablespoons will cut down the fat content of the final product enough for most people.  Save this!  Can be used to top ice cream or add in coffee, for an extra-added punch.  Thinking a new Colorado Coffee may make its debut sometime soon…

The removal of the fat is basically a preference, as there is a ton of flavor and it easily reincorporates back into the rest of the infusion.  It just does not create the most visually appealing beverage when mixed with other things, especially anything with carbonation.  A definite film develops.  The flavor profile and mouth feel are both positive contributions.

Step 3 – Re Bottle

Simply decant into the original bottle. You may have a little more than you started.  Store the bottle in the freezer (longer time between use) or the refrigerator.   Swirl the bottle a few times to reincorporate before each use.

There are plenty of very delicious opportunities for use around the Holiday season.  Try a simple beer cocktail with one of the stronger flavored holiday beers soon to be available, mix with eggnog, enhanced whipped topping for Pumpkin Pie or Pecan Pie, or just straight out of the freezer and into a glass.

We’ll be pouring this delicious elixir all season long at Star Bar.  Please stop by and try one for yourself.

Happy Holidays and Cheers!

  • Scott S

    This sounds too damn good! Any suggestions on an alternative whiskey if Stranahan’s cannot be found?

  • Scott S

    One more question, would this same process work for something like Nutella?

  • Justin

    Not sure, betcha Ellen at Helliemae’s would know. Send her a note:

  • Barbara | Creative Culinary

    I absolutely want to make this…but contacting Stranahan’s unsuccessful. Can you suggest another whiskey. Would love a local…Leopold Brothers have one you think that would work?

    • Bess Dougherty

      Just so you kids know, Total Bev up in westy has Stranahan’s in stock if you do decide to give this guy a whirl.

  • Lydia

    I think this would be great with Leopold’s apple whiskey…also, little known secret…you can almost always find Stranahan’s at the distillery. Stop by Rackhouse Pub while you’re down there, grab an awesome burger and bother Chris Rippe a little. I recommend yelling “Hey Prohibition” as you walk through the door.

    • Barbara | Creative Culinary

      That’s my plan…went by there the other day but without enough time to stop; so it’s on the agenda soon. Thank for the heads up and the words, if not of wisdom, of what to shout!

  • Ellen

    Hey Scott S – I’ve never worked with Nutella, but because it’s got actual nut bits in it, I’m betting it wouldn’t mix in with the whiskey terribly well. YMMV.

    Barbara – did you choose a whiskey? Justin would know better, but I think that the basic process would be the same regardless of the whiskey you used. Just be a matter of what you like.

    • Scott S

      Thanks for the response. I went ahead and picked up the salted caramel sauce from The Truffle and got a bottle of Stranahan’s too. Sounds too good to stray from the original recipe.

  • Ellen

    Scott – that’s great, I think Justin has it NAILED. And it was suggested I put my contact info on here for anyone who has questions or needs vats of sauce: ellen at saltcaramels punto com; the “factory” is 7711 W 6th Ave Ste L 80214. I’m open a few Thursday afternoons this month to taste caramels (and SAUCE), tour the kitchen, and hang.

Seattle — Entering play Monday night, every team in the American League was within 4 1/2 games of a playoff spot. Including the Tigers, who were 4 1/2 out in the Central Division and three back in the wild-card race.

And there is still more than three months left in the season.

“Lot of parity,” Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. “It just takes one month of getting hot to make a difference at the end of September. I didn’t know it was (that bunched up). It’s going to make it much more difficult for teams to make decisions.”

That said, if the Tigers don’t get cracking they are going to make general manager Al Avila’s decision a no-brainer.

BOX SCORE: Mariners 6, Tigers 2

A critical seven-game West Coast trip started poorly for the Tigers on Monday.

Mike Zunino slammed a 3-2 slider from reliever Alex Wilson into the seats in left field in the sixth inning, breaking a 2-2 tie and sending the Mariners to a 6-2 win.

For good measure, Zunino hit another two-run home run in the eighth, this one off Francisco Rodriguez. Zunino has hit five homers in his last seven games.

“Same story as yesterday,” a subdued Ausmus said. “We couldn’t come up with the big hits and they hit home runs.”

As for the Tigers, it was their eighth loss in 11 games, sinking them to five games under .500 for the first time this season.

“No one wants to win more than us,” Nick Castellanos said. “We want to win. We want to play well. We want to play well for the manager, the owner, the fans — we want to. The ball just ain’t bouncing our way right now. Just keep grinding.”

Last season, the club went 23-13 from June 19 to the trade deadline. There is little evidence that such a burst is in them right now.

They managed just three hits off a 27-year-old rookie making just his seventh career start, and were blanked on two hits by four relievers over the final four innings.

Asked if the frustration was building up, Castellanos said, “It can if we let it, and we’re trying our best not to. Everybody here is swinging the bat better than the scorebook says. The only thing we can do is keep grinding and know it’s only June and we haven’t hit our stride yet.”

The Tigers led 2-0 going into the last of the fifth inning and Anibal Sanchez, who had been toiling in Triple-A since May 23, had limited the Mariners to three singles through four innings.

“He had a good fastball working,” catcher Alex Avila said. “And he always has a good change-up. He was able to mix in a few breaking balls, too. Overall, he pitched really well. He made one mistake with the fastball.”

With one out and a runner on second, Guillermo Heredia slammed a 91-mph fastball — the third one he’d seen in succession — over the wall in left-center field.

“He had good command of it,” Avila said, explaining the pitch selection. “Went in a couple of times and that one, being behind in the count, we were just trying to make a good pitch down and away and it ended up thigh-high middle.

“That one mistake, that’s going to happen. I think overall he pitched great.”

It was the 69th home run off Sanchez since 2015 — sixth-most in the major leagues in that span.

Still, he pitched well enough to earn another start, Ausmus said.

“I feel really good,” Sanchez said. “I don't think the home run was a bad pitch (selection). I think the pitch was down the middle and he swung. Overall, I feel really good for the first outing in a while here.”

While at Toledo, he not only built his arm up to return to the rotation, he worked on being able to throw all his pitches with the same arm speed, which was evident by how well his fastball played, though only at 89-91 mph.

“Sometimes you need to refresh a lot of things,” he said. “That's what I did in my time in the minor leagues. Figure out how I can come back and be successful here. I just thank God that I'm healthy and I can work on some things and that I'm able to be here and show that I'm able to pitch at this level.”

He took a hard smash by Taylor Motter off his right calf in the fifth inning, which is why Ausmus went to the bullpen in the sixth. He was hoping between Wilson and Shane Greene, he could get through the sixth, seventh and eighth.

Didn’t work out. Wilson, who has been tagged with seven runs in 6 2/3 innings in June, got too much of the plate with a slider to red-hot Zunino.

“You just have to keep plugging,” Wilson said. “I'm making good pitches. It's just that baseball can be extremely frustrating sometimes. Sometimes you have to tip your cap, and other times you get really (ticked) off. I'm kind of right in between there, super-frustrated.”

The Tigers, meanwhile, were being subdued by soft-tossing right-hander Sam Gaviglio. He walked four in the first four innings, but the Tigers managed just one run, on a bases-loaded, no-out, double-play grounder by Avila.

A two-out RBI double by Ian Kinsler scored Jose Iglesias from first in the fifth inning, giving the Tigers the short-lived two-run cushion. Iglesias had two singles and was hitting .392 in his last 22 games.

The Tigers loaded the bases again in the sixth inning off reliever Steve Cishek. But Mariners manager Scott Servais brought in James Pazos, who struck out pinch-hitter Mikie Mahtook and Andrew Romine.

That was the last time the Tigers got a runner in scoring position.

“That’s been the theme the last few days — getting guys on, having opportunities and being able to score more than two runs,” Avila said. “Eventually, it’s going to happen. Somebody will make a mistake, or we will get a jam shot or a bloop single with guys on base and we’re going to put runs on the board.

“We just have to continue to battle.” @cmccosky

Volunteers Diary

August 2015

Wow is it really over a year since this page was updated!! Sorry.  We have been busy all the time and done loads of stuff. A lot of development of the outdoor classroom in the walled garden has taken place. This has included removing old outbuildings and making new ones to house the Bodger’s equipment (pole lathes etc) and also to provide a shelter for the ranger’s mini tractor (still referred to as Muffin although this one is a John Deere not a Mule ). The last two weeks have seen us installing benches in Spital fields. Great to relax and enjoy the view.   20/8/2015

Latest activities: 30/4/14

After clearing up the path from Spital Station last week, this week we turned our attention to putting up our sign to let people know that the path leads into the park and nature reserve.  Luckily we had a sign similar to those at other entrances already made and so putting it up it should be a doddle….   It actually took several volunteers all day to complete the task. (especially as Alan insisted on us getting it level!). Those not involved with the sign were all kept busy maintaining the pathways around the wild flower meadow near the Visitor Centre.

Tim,Ron & Mike spent the morning taking measurements for river monitoring and doing a brief but fruitful plant survey. The others spent the morning clearing the path from Spital Station car park into the Reserve. In the afternoon we worked nearer the Visitor Centre, walled garden and pond, mowing paths , spreading woodchip, clearing rubbish etc. It all seemed to keep us quite busy.

The floating islands we made with the Environment Agency in Sept 2012 were bare. The vegetation that we had hoped would grow on them was constantly being eaten by the local duck population. To protect the plants we made a wire mesh cover and installed it this week.  Liz once again donned the life jacket and took to the dingy to take the wire net cover out to the island and affix it and re seed the coir substrate. Additional seed was also added to the other islands.  We also tried a new floating island to test its buoyancy – It was rather too high in the water so will have to be adjusted before being planted up and launched.   The work on the Bodgers shed also continued – see the Projects page.   9/4/14

April 2014

Winter came and went and the volunteers just kept on working, in all weathers – well we have actually had no snow at all this year, but we did get plenty of rain. Paths, fencing, coppicing, improvements in the Walled Garden, clearing the vista across to Babb’s Meadow from the viewpoint  etc. – all sorts with plenty to keep us busy.

The current major project is building a new Bodgers Shed (see details in the Projects section). This is very interesting and rewarding and I think we are all working very hard and enjoying doing it.

One job this week was the re-erection of a beautifully carved Seat made by Bill Welchoak seat that was originally sited at Eastham Country Park.  The seat was made by Bill Welch several years ago. Sadly Bill is no longer with us. There is more information about Bill and some more of his work still at Eastham. In its new home the seat looks great and brings a touch of real class the the garden.

September 2013

What a nice Summer. Lots of sunshine and warmth. The plants have been growing well, despite a relatively dry period. The volunteers have been active throughout. A major development has been taking place in the walled garden to make it more visitor friendly with an outdoor classroom area and places to sample home grown organic vegetables from the ‘incredible edibles’ project run by Eastham Day Centre.  The regular volunteer team have also been working on the wild flower meadow near the car park and continuing with the ongoing fight to eradicate the Himalayan Balsam and Japanese Knotweed populations.

We have also installed a second picnic bench, with wheelchair access, close to the car park.  Work on the pond to protect a wildlife area and ongoing attempts to reduce the risk of algal bloom has also been carried out.

May 2013

April and May have been busy months with a good deal of work being undertaken to complete the programme of railing construction and path improvements. The Team are starting to get quite proficient at driving in the posts and attaching the rails. Some of the rails are really very hard wood and driving the 4″ nails through can be very trying as they tend to crumple and bend under severe force! The weather has not been kind with rain and cold a regular feature – however on the bright side the Spring flowers have been super this year.

Other tasks have included clearing curly pond weed , which is a non-native invasive species, from the pond by Bodens Hey meadow. The overhanging rhododendron along the riverside path leading to St Patrick’s Well has also been trimmed back. The roots of these bushes anchor the valley side so removing them entirely would probably lead to excessive erosion.

This week, under Alan’s guidance, we undertook  the installation of a fence across the NE corner of Woodslee pond to provide a protected area for wildlife and an area suitable for fish to use when spawning.  Driving the fencing posts in whilst squatting in the tiny dingy looked most precarious – so well done to George and Alan for that!

The picnic table jointly funded by the Friends and North Wirral Rotary Club has been installed and is now being regularly used which is nice to see. If we get some sunshine I am sure it will be a great spot for a picnic.

3rd April 2013

Beautiful weather, sunshine, rain free and not too cold despite a hard frost over night. Most of the day was spent preparing the base for a new picnic table that is being installed on Friday( with the help of North Wirral Rotary Club members). However today we cleared an overhanging branch or two and then marked out the base area. This was then fitted with a low wooden revetment border and the surface turf removed to provide a suitable base for membrane and gravel to be laid. This will give a suitable all weather surface for the table and enable wheelchair access.

27th & 28th March 2013

The handrail has been completed.  On the 27th we had snow showers throughout the day but luckily none settled enough to interrupt the work. The following day was dry and considerably warmer.  In addition  one of our best patches of wild garlic was cleared of brash and twigs from a fallen tree. Several young trees were also given new supporting stakes. These stakes are set at an angle and quite low down – this is to provide support to stop the root ball rocking but at the same time allow the main stem to flex in the wind and so strengthen naturally.

20h March 2013

The main morning task was to fill in pot holes in the car park and on the drive. A large fallen branch almost blocking a path was cleared and anti-squirrel baffles fitted to protect the bird feeders near the disabled parking area. In the afternoon work started on building the hand rail on the “39 Steps”. Actually there are just a few more than 39 since they were renewed last year but the name stuck.

6th March 2013

The team went to Royden Park to help with the clearance of cut trees that were being removed from heathland.  If the trees are not removed they encroach on the heath and reduce the heather growth.  In the afternoon we were joined by a delightful shire horse, called Dan, that worked at pulling the bundles of brash off the heath – making it look effortless.  A very pleasant day.

27th February 2013

Beautiful weather for a change. The handrail for Otters tunnel steps was completed and the preparation for the asphalt surfacing of the small car park was also finished. Everybody enjoyed the day.

13th &14th February 2013

Well it wasn’t raining for a change, it was snowing instead. This inclement weather did not however put us off continuing the task of building a sturdy wooden railing beside the steps that run down to Otters Tunnel.  The work included putting in the posts and rails, adding bracing posts (the diagonal ones shown in the photo) and making the hand rail more robust.  We all got ‘stuck in’ and despite freezing wet fingers managed to get the majority of the work finished and were very glad to retire for a late lunch!  Quite a bit of work has been done, by Alan and the other volunteers, on clearing the slope down to the river and this has opened up the view considerably. To make the most of this we have lowered the railing opposite the bench to give an unrestricted view down to the river and willow carr area. The following day the weather was beautiful and felt springlike. The Thursday crew did some sterling work on clearing paths and planting oak seedlings.

6th February 2013

A nice day but with a distinct chill in the air. The main task for the day was preparing the small parking area near the Visitor Centre for tarmac to be laid and proper disabled parking bays to be marked out.  This will complete the project to enable access for all to the Woodslee Pond area. Some new bird feeders were also installed close by so that those unable to reach the feeding area in the dell would hopefully be able to see some of our wildlife from the disabled car park.  A very satisfying team effort enjoyed by all.

Late January 2013  After the Winter Warmer, which we all enjoyed, we spent our next session restoring the place to normality – but we left the decorations up until 12th Night. Since then a lot more rain has fallen and the paths are becoming increasingly muddy. We are busy clearing drains and making new ones to try and keep the mud at bay and also putting new surfacing material down to try and consolidate some paths.  We have also been burning a lot of chopped rhododendron  branches and stumps – and ended up smelling like a kipper!  Last week we had some snow (only light compared to some) but we went out in it to thin a patch of ash seedlings, leaving a few healthy looking ones. We really hope we do not get the Ash dieback disease or our efforts will have been in vain.

5th December 2012  With the Winter Warmer event only three days away , all activity focused on preparations. These included ensuring the gas BBQ was working, building  outdoor shelters for stalls and the BBQ itself. Tasks included making signs for the car parking and for route to the Visitor Centre as well as getting the decorations sorted and final preparations made for the setting up of stalls on Saturday morning.  We also gave the hazel and holly bushes around the courtyard entrance a good tidy up . This kept all of us quite busy – but looking forward to a good fun event. The weather forecast for Saturday is not bad – so fingers crossed for a great day.

Late November 2012

Despite the poor weather we have managed to get out and about during November. The  work around the pond is now completed. The stock of fish in the pond was again checked by the Environment Agency and they removed several pike – to help rebalance the mix of large, medium and small fish. Other fish were then introduced including about 200 each of perch, tench and carp.  Interesting to see – but not much work done by the watchers.  The main thrust of the work this month has been coppicing in the area by Otters Tunnel. The hazel trees are cut back to almost ground level.  This gives us some long, poles for use elsewhere in the park and also encourages the plants to grow again – ready to be harvested in about 7 to 10 years.  It also lets light reach the woodland floor and so encourages/ enables low level woodland plants to grow. Watch out for the Wood Anemone and Lesser Celandine next Spring.

We have also done some work on path drainage – wellies no longer required to walk through the park – unless the river floods again of course!

As part of a Friends sponsored project new bird feeding station has been established. The dell near the rangers office has been cleared and a series of bird tables and feeders introduced.  Special thanks go to the members of North Wirral Rotary Club who came along and helped set up the bird tables, installed a second bench and cleared away some of the encroaching laurel.  A rota for feeding the birds is being established as it is important to ensure that the feed is provided regularly. A local company has kindly made a donation to enable us to purchase an adequate supply of birdseed.  Many thanks. The local birds are already enjoying their generosity.

10th October 2012

After an exceptional period of rain, which washed the shuttering off the bat tunnel, work resumed on the management of Woodslee Pond.  The construction of the ‘inclusive’ fishing pegs is continuing apace. The picture shows Alison, Alan, Tim and David working on the first one several week ago. We are now on number eight.  Last week we also transplanted* some shallow water vegetation, mostly bog-bean and flag iris, from a neighbouring pond to encourage and provide a refuge for some of the freshwater invertebrates that will help to keep the pond ecologically well balanced.   * Prior to transplanting the vegetation the donor pond was carefully checked for any evidence of invasive species e.g. New Zeland Stonecrop and water fern, that are damaging some of our native ponds and rivers. All was clear!

19th September 2012

The Summer holidays are over and it’s back to work. Not that work stopped for that long in Dibby!  We have had a busy time with two activity areas dominating the work, balsam and pond management.

First, the annual Himalayan balsam eradication programme which ,dare we say it, does seem to be having a significant effect.  The amount of balsam this year is much less than last year but small pockets of it did still crop up.  There were also occasional single plants appearing in flower with which we had to deal. Each plant can produce several hundred seeds so even a few that escaped our notice could mean a lot more next year…..

The second major area of work relates to the upgrading of the access and water quality in Woodslee Pond.  This includes improving the access and fishing ‘pegs’ to enable wheelchair access for disabled fishermen (or women of course). The path surrounding the pond is being widened and each peg is being provided with a suitable safety rail and adequate flat area for wheelchairs.  Today we have completed the work on the fourth peg.

The problems with blue/green algae have reoccurred and we initially places the recommended barley-straw ‘sausages’ in the water and these seemed to result in some improvement.  The main cause of the problem is excess nutrients in the water. To address this the Environment Agency suggested the creation of floating islands with waterside plants  which would effectively draw the excess nutrients out of the water. Two weeks ago they came equipped with all necessary materials and equipment to help us build three such floating islands.  Constructing them, planting them up and launching them provided a full days enjoyment for us all.  Last week we took the boat out to them to add some further plants.

Mid July 2012

Here we are in the middle of Summer, and what do we get?  Rain and more rain and that brings on the mud. Several folks have managed to get a boot-full of mud and on at least one occasion a lost boot in the mud. Does this stop us – No!  The volunteers continue to turn up and work …. they are either a load of nuts or a great bunch – I think the latter. Quite a bit of path work has been undertake recently both to keep back encroaching vegetation (brambles seem to love the warm rainy conditions and grow like mad) and also improve access to Woodslee Pond for wheelchairs.  We hear that the jet stream is now moving North – we really hope so! Bring on the sunshine.

4th July 2012

Himalayan Balsam bashing with some rain showers. (see  Invasive species page) Contractors are on site tackling some of the main balsam sites using strimmers. However our volunteers, armed with brashing bars (they are like a bill hook on a stout 1.6m handle, quite heavy and quite effective), tackled the west river bank on the downstream side heading towards Spital dam in the morning. In the afternoon the dreaded weed growth in Patrick’s wood was addressed until the rain made the terrain unsuitable for further work (it is quite steep and slippery).

27th June 2012

A large Oak tree had fallen in the car park at Eastham Country Park (our sister site) and the team went along to help cut it up and clear it away. They also undertook some more work on the car park at Dibby to improve the drainage.

20th June 2012

Elephant cuisine – or rather preparing some food for them. A couple of weeks ago a large crack willow tree (Salix fragilis)  toppled over and half fell into the river. Last week this was felled and partially chopped up for removal. This week we have been contacted by Chester Zoo who would like the foliage and smaller branches for their elephants and giraffes. So we have been dissecting the fallen tree even further and moving suitable branches to a location accessible for collection by the zoo staff. Hauling the branches out of the river was really hard work and the thought that bringing the elephants along to a picnic right here would be a lot easier, certainly crossed our minds….  (subsequently they decided not to come for our willow – shame really-  it looked rather tasty!)

16th May 2012

Today was Car Park day. The enthusiastic team set about giving the car park a facelift, under Alan’s supervision. The area in front of the new notice board was levelled and given a gravel surface. A new sign showing the way to the Visitor Centre and Rangers Office was installed and the edges of the parking area were scraped back and the surrounding bund tidied and re-seeded.  At the end of the day we all agreed that it looked much smarter.

9th May 2012

Fencing along the drive is being replaced and this work has been progressing well.  A display showing some of the friends activities and delights of Dibbinsdale was prepared. A lucky capture of wood mouse in a live trap enabled us to get some great pictures of the small mammal trapping process just in time for the display.

On Sunday, 6th May we took the display stand to the New Ferry Butterfly Park open day to help support this excellent Wirral Wildlife project. We had a good number of interested visitors and even managed to recruit a few new members.  The Butterfly Park, located about two miles from Dibbinsdale,  is actively managing  a site that was formerly railway sidings and a brick making works to provide an environment for butterflies and other mini-beasts to find a home breed in an otherwise urban environment. Well worth supporting.

There has also been some more path/drainage work. The recent rains have highlighted the places that need improved drainage. It is amazing how quickly the level of the river rises and falls. After the heavy rains last week the recently built path revetment near Otters Tunnel, comprising felled Alder trunk sections (they took two or three people to move each piece) were just washed away…

25th April 2012

Hey its raining! Lets go and clear out the drains. So we did – well three significant ones at least. These are drains that run under the paths in the reserve – without them they can get very muddy. Somehow we all ended up very muddy (havn’t I heard this before?) but the drains were running well. The wise ones decided to continue the fencing replacement. Pete prepared a set of wood samples to go on our stand at the New Ferry Butterfly Park Open Day (6th May).  Despite rain and mud we achieved all planned tasks and felt that it had been an excellent day.

18th April 2012

Morning walk around the site with Lyn Byrne the Invasive Species Officer from Cheshire Wildlife Trust. Looking primarily at the extent of the Japanese Knotweed and Himalayan Balsam we have in the valley. We also had an interesting discussion about the crayfish the live in Woodslea Pond – unfortunately not our native species but the american signal crayfish.  In the afternoon work on the replacement fencing along the drive was undertaken.

11th April 2012 (week off due to Bank Hol last week)

Mud, Mud, Glorious Mud.  You know those willows we felled on 28th… well today we were winching out the stumps and roots. It had been raining and the area was quite wet when we started, but after a few hours of tramping around we ended up with a wonderful mud wallow, about a dozen uprooted stumps, as well as some rather tired and muddy volunteers.  The rain held off, it was sunny and all agreed that it had been really good day.

28th March 2012

First apols for the absence of the diary for a few weeks – IT problems!!

Glorious sunshine today, just right for the work we were doing clearing some encroaching willow in Babb’s Meadow and reinforcing the river bank with willow spiling – which should grow into a robust riverbank in due course. We also repaired some of the drainage gullies between the pools and the river. This is to encourage the growth of a healthy reed bed.

14th March 2012

Another good day in the woods for our team.  Today we did some final work on the rhododendron in babs meadow removing the last of the stumps and raking the brash.  We also cut back some of the trees and branches infront of the owl box to encourage nesting owls. In the afternoon, we worked around the tunnel installing reflective discs to help guide people safely through the tunnel and repared the fence at the south end of the tunnel.

29th February 2012

Work today centred around the courtyard and visitor centre again.  The group split up into small teams looking at different tasks.   One group made an owl box which we plan to put up in the reserve asap (next week would be good).  A cutting list was made for materials needed to bring all the fishing pegs and paths around Woodslee pond up to Wheelchair standard.  The materials for this project will be funded by the EA and the labour provided by our volunteers and local company environmental volunteer days.  Work also continued on clearing unwanted cover along the driveway.

22nd February 2012

Today we had a collaborative work day with a group from the Association of Wirral Anglers, our own Wednesday volunteers and a small team from the Environment Agency Fisheries department.  The task was to net the pond to see what fish were in there.
This was to ascertain the quality of the water and ensure a good balance of fish stock for anglers and future wildlife management in the pond.  A large amount of small roach were removed as it was decided that the pond could not sustain them at the level present.  We also made some plans to have some habitat maintenance task days on the pond with the EA in April.

15th February 2012

Once again we focussed our activities on the Visitor Centre and surrounding area. New fencing was erected on the road to the Rangers Office. The Visitor Centre notice boards had a lick of paint and a thermometer was affixed to the wall by it centre door.  On the following day the timber store was unloaded and stacking supports built. The video lead from the nest box camera was repaired – it had been nibbled through by mice! We also got to work and made up the nest box kits for use on Saturday. Overall a couple of quite busy days.

8th February 2012

This week we focussed our activities on the Visitor Centre. The leaking roof has been fixed and it is now open to the public again.  There are plans to make much more use of it this year for demonstrations, courses and meetings. A good deal of spring cleaning was undertaken and old clutter cleared out. We also started putting up the new signs directing folks from the Car Park to the Visitor Centre.

1st February 2012

Cold, fresh and bright – a great day for some serious work outdoors! One of our special trees a Holm Oak (Quercus ilex) was becoming masked by undergrowth and an adjacent leaning cypress tree. The task for the day was to clear the undergrowth and remove the cypress. We also pruned off some low dead branches from an adjacent oak tree.  The end result justified the team’s efforts revealing the superb natural sculpture of this fascinating tree. This species of oak was originally from the Mediterranean area and unlike our native oaks it keeps its rather prickly leaves throughout the winter (as can be seen in the picture).

25th January 2012

An interesting meeting and discussion about the development of countryside skills started the day. We then set about clearing the vegetation obscuring our largest Monkey Puzzle Tree – correctly called a Chile Pine (Araucaria araucana). These distinctive but rather short lived (100 years) trees were introduced into Britain in 1795. The tree is now easily spotted from the path leading to the Rangers Office.

18th January 2012

Three tasks on the go this week:

1) Clearing out the Bodgers shed in the walled garden – the Friends are looking at making this available as an outdoor crafts facility available for a whole range of woodland based activities including using our  pole-lathe.

2) Undergrowth clearance from around our Coast Redwood tree (Sequoia sempervirens) to give it space to grow and be visible from the path by the carpark. Now easily spotted as it is just about the tallest tree around and has rufous spongy bark.

3) Continued management of the laurels  between the Visitor Centre and the wildflower meadow.

The rain never really got started and it was a satisfying day for all who came along.

11th January 2012

An oak tree by St Patrick’s Well had toppled over creating an unusual but unsafe arch across the path. This was quite a challenge to remove safely but with Alan’s expertise with the chainsaw it was reduced to a series of short but hefty logs that were then used to extend the existing pathway edging.

Work was also undertaken to remove an unsafe Holm Oak near the Ranger’s Office and the opportunity was also taken to coppice the trackside Hazel and prune the other, largely laurel bushes to open up the view to the flower meadow.

4th January 2012

After the seasonal break and despite the forecast rain the Team headed out to the western end of the Reserve to do some coppicing. This is cutting back Hazel shoots to provide

stakes to use for traditional hedging and other country crafts. The stakes can be up to 3 meters long and are relatively straight. The Hazel plants themselves are not destroyed and produce new shoots suitable for harvesting in a few years time. Here we see Alan, Pete, Gary and Phil hard at work!  Dave,Tim and Ron were also doing their share out of camera.

The afternoon was spent winching more of the extensive rhododendron stumps from the ground. We managed to get about six uprooted and ready for removal.  All in all a good day despite the indifferent weather.

14th December 2011

The major task was once again clearing and burning the invasive rhododendron, in particular the gigantic specimen that dominated the  area adjacent to Babb’s Meadow. We have now removed about 75% of it but still need to work on the remaining stumps and roots.  A heavyweight winch is used to literally pull them out of the ground – but it is still really hard work getting them to start ‘lifting’.

Pictures of  Alan and Tim preparing to winch out another stump and the fire with the pile of material to burn.

The enormous amount of removed vegetation is burned – getting the fire going well enough to cope with the dampish material is sometimes a bit of a challenge.

7th December 2011

The major task for the day was the assembly and installation of a new outdoor bench overlooking the wildflower meadow.

The bench has been provided by the Friends of Dibbinsdale and will enable our park visitors to sit and take in the views across the meadow and later in the year enjoy the display of flowers. Special thanks to Phil and Gary who did the bulk of the work digging the rather deep holes that were required.

Later a party went litter picking and recovered a depressingly large amount of rubbish whilst a small ash sapling was felled and used to prepare Xmas decoration bases for the forthcoming event at Eastham Country Park (our sister site). We also had to help remove a large oak branch that passing jogger told us had fallen across a pathway.

The Week : 21st – 27th November 2011

Path clearing of fallen leaves. Wildflower meadow mowing and removal of material in preparation for next years seed planting. The removal of the cut material helps reduce the soil nutrients and so help the flowers compete with the grasses next year.

Path maintenance – removal of encroaching grass.

The leaves are really coming down now so further path clearing was also required later in the week.

Dianne Coulter wins inaugural award

Lauraine Diggins Fine Art would like to congratulate sculptor Dianne Coulter for winning the 2009 Inaugural Blake Prize for Human Justice. Dianne won with her piece titled ”Cousin of Elizabeth NT”. The life-size sculpture of a pregnant indigenous woman holding a loaf of bread is made of ceramic, polyuruthane, cloth and steel armature. The plastic-wrapped bread in the girl?s hand inspires optimistic hopes for loaves and fishes, but when viewed in context, in light of the complex raft of contemporary indigenous social issues, it becomes a reminder of a gritty reality for many Northern Territory communities.

 ✓ 20,000 Lumens  ✓ 2,000:1 Contrast Ratio  ✓ SX+, 1080p & WUXGA Resolution

Brightest, most advanced displays in the TITAN product line

Solutions-oriented Powerhouse with Brightness to Spare
Digital Projection presents a revolution in advanced 3-chip DLP displays with the new TITAN Quad 2000 product line. Incredibly compact and efficient for its lumen performance, the TITAN Quad 2000 series incorporates DP's active 3D connectivity, Intelligent Lens Mount, ColorMax calibration technology, and a host of vital professional features to suit almost any commercial installation or staging application imaginable. As efficient as they are capable, the introduction of the 20,000 lumen TITAN Quad 2000 lineup marks the world's first projectors of this brightness, in a chassis with such a small form factor.

The award-winning TITAN Quad 2000 platform provides the user with advanced Warp and Blend capabilities, including the ability to make extensive geometric warp correction for screens with complex geometry. Superbly capable edge blending and multi-projector tiling is provided by way of high bit depth processing that ensures a seamless, contiguous image can be created from multiple projectors. Additionally, end users can choose to utilize the TITAN Quad 2000's onboard tiling function by assigning each projector a position within an image matrix. The video processing then automatically extracts the appropriate segment of the input image and enables blending for the appropriate edges.

Any application enlisting multiple projectors to form a contiguous image, or single-projector applications needing advanced image options.

Stewardship Programs

Stewardship Programs

The Director of Stewardship and Development is happy to meet initially with a Pastor who desires a personalized Stewardship Plan. The director will then meet with the Pastor, Trustees, Finance Council, Pastoral Council, or Parish Staff to understand the unique life of the parish.  Critical for any plan is discovering parishioners' life of worship and prayer, engagement in ministry, giving habits and demographics, and current stewardship initiatives before creating a plan to grow stewardship beyond just financial giving in the parish.

The director will present the pastor a customized Stewardship Plan in a timely manner and offer services to help implement different aspects of the plan.

Please contact Joseph Lichty to express interest.

Easy Thai Fried Rice

This recipe was super easy and paired great with the Thai meatballs I made for dinner the other night. Â A quick and easy rice dish, that could be easily jazzed up to become more of a main dish. Â The flavors in the rice and meatballs were perfect together, as they had the same flavor profiles.

Serves 4-6 for about

IMG_3546 (580x387)

4 c. cold, leftover rice

2 eggs, beaten

2 green onions, chopped

2 tsp. fish sauce

2 tsp. soy sauce

1/2 tsp. fresh minced ginger (or use 1/8 tsp. ground ginger)

1 clove garlic, minced

1 Tbsp. sesame oil

4 Tbsp. fresh cilantro, chopped

IMG_3550 (580x387) (2)

Add your oil to a wok or large frying pan and heat over medium-high. When the oil is hot, add your garlic and fresh ginger (if using ground, wait to add it until you add the rice). Saute for 60 seconds.

IMG_3554 (580x387)

Add your rice and stir it around to coat it in oil. You may feel like you want to add more oil, but donâ€™t. You need the rice to get some good color and texture on it, and too much oil will just make itâ€¦well, oily.

IMG_3556 (580x387)

Fry the rice for 30 seconds and then stir it around to expose the un-fried side to the heat. Cook for another 30 seconds, and stir.

IMG_3559 (580x387)

Add your soy sauce and fish sauce and stir it in.

IMG_3561 (580x387)

Move your rice mixture out of the center of the pan, making a little well for your eggs. Pour your beaten eggs into the center and let them cook for a few seconds undisturbed.

IMG_3564 (580x387)

Now, break up the eggs and stir into your rice, making sure to mix everything together well.

Add your green onions and cilantro and stir well. Taste a bite of it with a spoon to make sure everything is seasoned well and heated through. If it needs more flavor, add a bit more soy sauce, or even some red pepper flakes for some heat.

Serve garnished with a bit more cilantro for color.

Clippers rally past Durham 3-2

The Clippers scored two runs in the seventh inning with the help of two Durham errors to rally past the Bulls 3-2 tonight in Huntington Park.

Columbus trailed 2-1 in the seventh when Ryan Rohlinger opened the inning with a double. Nate Spears moved him to third with a bunt single before Jeff Beliveau walked Roberto Perez to load the bases.

Ezequiel Carrera followed with a ground that second baseman Ryan Roberts charged and threw home where catcher Jesus Flores was waiting to get the force out. The throw was wide, however, and Flores had to pull his foot off the plate to catch it. Rohlinger sild home to tie the score at 2-2.

With the bases still loaded, Tim Fedroff chopped a ball over Beliveau's head that shortstop Tim Beckham also charged. He bobbled the ball, fell and Spears scored the go-ahead run. Beliveau rebounded to strike out Chun-Hsiu Chen, Jeremy Hermida and Juan Diaz to leave the bases loaded and give his team a chance to rally.

Fernando Nieve (5-2)pitched a scoreless eighth for the Clippers and turned thelead over to new closer Nick Hagadone in the ninth.

With one out, Diaz dropped a Beckham pop up for an error to give Durham a runner on second base. he went to third on a Cole Figueroa fly to Matt Carson in left. Hagadone walked Jason Bourgeois on a 3-2 pitch but got Vince Belnome to fly to Carson in left to end the game and earn his first save of the season.

Hermida had an RBI single for the Clippers in the first. T.J. House allowed one run for the Clippers over the first five innings. Beckham had two RBI singles for Durham.

Notes: Columbus manager Chris Tremie hoped to have second baseman/outfielder Cord Phelps (right wrist)back from the disabled list shortly after the All-Star break last week. That isn't happening. Phelps took fly balls in left field and ground balls at second base today, butdid notthrow the baseball. He also did not take batting practice. "He suffered a little bit of a setback," Tremie said. "There is no timetable right now forhis return." Phelps went on the DL on July 7. ... Clippers first baseman/DH Matt LaPorta (left hip strain) has played seven games on a rehab assignment for the Arizona League Indians (Rookie League). He is 10 for 20 with 3 home runs and 10 RBI, which is about what he should be at that level.... Trevor Bauer (5-3, 3..84) will start for theClippers inthe 7:05 game Saturday against Durham's J.D. Martin (12-4, 2.82).

Formulate Curl Fabric Exhibition Stand £240

Our Price:
£240.00 ex.VAT
£288.00 inc.VAT

Formulate Curl Fabric Exhibition Display Stand. Using the latest digital printed dye sublimation technology on stretch polyester fabric, a stunning free standing exhibition display stand is created. Light weight, easy to transport and easy to erect.

Formulate Curl Tension Fabric Exhibition Retail Display

Formulate fabric display stands are based upon next generation digital dye sublimation fabric printing. In its basic form, formulate is a fully collapsible, portable tubular aluminum frame over which a tensioned 'sock' graphic is applied. The whole system is so so easy to assemble - take a look at our video at the bottom of the page.

Tensioned Fabrics as exhibition stands came on leaps and bounds a coupe of years ago with the new generation of textile printers. Textile or fabric printing was largely the reserve of screen printers and based on long production runs. With the new digital printers, you can have as little as 1 print on to an A4 peice of textile if you so wish. The latest Mimaki dye sublimation printers offer a truly stunning finish to any exhibitions.

So, why are the new tensioned fabric displays so popular? The answer is largely in their low weight and simplicity of use. The new power tensioned stretch polyester fabric graphics are nowhere near as heavy as traditional print media. The textiles are far more resilient than traditional media (They can even be washed in a low temperature washing machine). The textile graphic can now be finished in bright, high definition colour. Often called TEXsyle graphics

For those wishing to take on DIY exhibiting, Formulate tensioned fabric exhibition stands are a great way forward
