Vital Energi are helping to keep the beat alive after a donation to the Liberty Drum Corps which has helped pay for two of the group’s rehearsals.
To quote the charity themselves, “Liberty is a marching band….but is also so much more. Think American-style High School Band with drums, brass and dancers….add in some flags and tuned percussion instruments and around 50 young people.” The group has no auditions, so young people of all levels can take part, learn new skills and meet new people.
Business Development Manager, Brendan Clancy, whose daughters are part of the troupe explained, “This is a fantastic organisation that teaches young people so much more than music and dance and through my daughters’ involvement I’ve seen the positive impact it has.
“The group keep the children’s subscription fees low to allow everyone to take part, but the down side of that is that they lose approximately £100 for each rehearsal they have, so our donation will fill that gap for a couple of sessions. I’d also like to say a big thank you to our supply chain who have made similar contributions to help this fantastic group continue.”
If you’d like to learn more about Liberty Drum Corps you can visit their website here: http://www.libertydrumcorps.org.uk/ and we hope you’ll join us in wishing them good luck at the National Championships in October.blog comments powered by Disqus | hobby |

Putting down the turfgrass is not a complicated job. The most important and time-consuming job is the correct preparation of ground and surface. A family familiar with gardening should have no difficulties to put down turf grass no larger than 300m2. Anything larger then 300m2 we recommend you choose one of the landscapers. Find out more about the preparation of the ground and the process of laying down the turf grass.
Is turfgrass artificial?
EasyGreen Turfgrass is completely natural product. It is a mass of living plants and soil. Grass rolls are specially grown grass fields cut into smaller sections, rolled up and prepared to be installed as a garden. Very often turf grass is mixed up with artificial grass rolls. Remember – artificial grass is not a living organism, it has been created in a factory. It does not smell, does not grow and most importantly it does not produce oxygen, like natural grass. It has been scientifically proven that 250m2 of lawn produces enough oxygen for a family of 4.
Are there different types of turfgrass?
Turfgrass can differ depending on the following criteria:
- Seed mix. EasyGreen can offer 4 different selections of lawn
- The size of the roll – classic roll is 40cm wide, but there are 60cm, 1m, 1.2m, and even 2.4m widths available worldwide. EasyGreen can supply 1.2m wide rolls for sports grounds – EasyGreen Stadium. | hobby |

I also gave to him).
My original sketch was more elaborate. It actually had ALL the characters, not only the main cast: it had Fabrizio, Uncle Yo, the leader of S.W.A.G., etc. (because I like really busy compositions like the one of the To Boldly Flee poster xD) but I wasn't able to finish that in time for the con. Still, I'm happy with the result and everyone at the con loved it ( I even gave one of the prints to Doug's mom and dad
It was fantastic meeting you, Doug and everyone, at Anime Midwest. It made my travel to America totally worth it, even if it was just for a weekend
I hope to be able to meet you again some day at another con! | hobby |

We’re daring to be different by only stocking pet and animal related scrapping products. In fact our vision is to supply the largest range of animal related scrapbook supplies on the internet.
The team behind Creative Creatures is made up of mum & daughters team: Ida (mum) and sisters Alison and Melissa. We are, first & foremost, devoted animal people- surrounded daily with literal herds of wonderful creatures – great and small. We’re not embarrassed to say it: they really do make each day worth living.
Our large and photogenic group of friends currently includes horses, texas longhorn cattle, cats, dogs, a blue-tongue lizard, budgies, cockatiels, a poddy sheep and a very grumpy, one-person goat!
Each animal has its own personality and there are always “moments”. You know the ones…they’re funny, happy, cute, proud and sometimes heartbreaking. As such, our digital memory cards are always full to overflowing. The natural solution, as you would understand, led us to our local scrapbook shops and others we conveniently passed by in our travels. Sadly, there were few animal related items to satisfy our insatiable need.
This, we considered to be a serious issue, serious enough to start a business. Creative Creatures is addressing the problem, by bringing together a wide range of animal-themed scrapbook supplies. We’ve even designed our own range of scrapbook papers for pets around the sorts of photographs that animal people take…cuddles, baths and just hanging out. Oh yes, we have albums worth.
And because we recognise that there’s a huge range of pet and animal friends, we’ve made it our mission to stock products for all different species.
We’re aiming to create the biggest and best range of animal scrapping products on the web, and to provide you with a website that is really easy to use. Our goal is to inspire you to put your pets memories in an album alongside those of your family, friends, children, weddings, and travel.
We welcome you to our site and hope you have a nice time looking around. Hope you find something you like. | hobby |

Sign up is below.
Over 30 years ago, Suzanne Wagner began her journey to understand relationships, love, sexuality, and intimacy. That journey took her from the passions of being a Principal Ballet dancer, where she lived and breathed the intense emotional world of ballet. Then she dove into the healing arts and became a licensed massage therapist and craniosacral therapist, where she worked with many who had experienced trauma and emotional damage. That then led her to go into Kundalini Yoga and the White Tantric Yoga path. And from there she began to see the patterns of beliefs, fears, and traumas that restrict the flow of deep emotional intimacy in the dance of love and relationships.
It was a deeply personal journey that awakened within her the Divine Feminine essence and allowed her to move into the realms of Tantra and the wisdom of Vajrayana Buddhism.
Suzanne is not just a teacher, she is a keeper of many of the ancient teachings and traditions and is a master at synthesizing the esoteric wisdom into forms and exercises that make sense to the modern mindset.
This class is unlike any other you have experienced. It is filled with information that expands your mind and helps you see how you have been holding the energy of sexuality and intimacy. She gives you tools that you can use that open love and deepen intimacy.
Many have said that they have never been in the presence of someone who can literally speak so openly and authentically about sexuality and the deeper wisdom that comes from the passionate world that enlivens life.
This class is one to not miss. She does not teach this class often because honestly, only a few brave souls are at the place in their emotional and spiritual growth to even want to go into the scary places of the lower chakras.
Remember, “No Part of Yourself May Be Left Behind”. It is in deep passion that you cannot hide from yourself or from another. It is in deep passion that you discover the power that you have hidden from yourself and your God connection.
It is only through love and trust that you learn to become Authentic and whole.
Join us. Let us explore the dance of energy that is love and that has always been the glue that holds life together.
Cost of this class is $200 per person.
Hours: 10 am to 6 pm both days. You are required to attend both days.
Snacks and drinks included in the cost of the workshop, plus a copy of Suzanne’s Book, “Becoming Authentic – Lessons in Tantra.”
There will be a break for lunch and the workshop is in the heart of Holladay. There are many options for lunch.

https://polyvection.com/news/introducing-polycore1/ | 2017-03-29T05:16:09 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218190183.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212950-00584-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | 0.945332 | 729 | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2017-13__0__282852717 | en | For a long time we had a dream. We were thinking of a tiny Linux based audio board that would even fit in the smallest housings or speakers. Super flexible connector options as well as very low power consumption had also high priority. Existing solutions were either too bulky with connectors always on the wrong place (e.g. all the standard single-board-computers like RPi or BBB) or were just too expensive to integrate in a low quantity project (basically all the system-on-modules / SOMs).
We really wanted this dream to become true so we pulled the trigger and started the development. The result is a 65 mm x 48 mm sized board with a maximum hight of 4,5 mm called PolyCore1.
At the heart of PolyCore1 there is an i.MX6 UltraLight from NXP. We took this specific processor because of its great audio connectivity, the very low power consumption and of course its long-term availability and the superior documentation + software support the vendor offers. We carefully selected this SoC and it perfectly meets all the requirements for a high quality audio streamer.
Some of the core features of PolyCore1 are three independent serial audio interfaces (I2S), S/PDIF input + output, power management for low power operation, 2x USB, native Ethernet, 2x SD, RTC, ONOFF button handler, 24bit RGB display interface and much more.
The standard versions is clocked at 528 MHz and comes with 512 MB DDR3L RAM, a native Ethernet PHY 10/100 that supports Wake-On-LAN (WoL), all the power management and a RGB LED for status indication.
But wait! Where are all the connectors for power, LAN and the SD card? This looks much more like a hard to integrate system-on-module (SoM) rather than a simple to handle single-board-computer (SBC)!
PolyCore1 combines the best of both worlds. It is as small and as flexible as a SoM but also as easy to handle as a SBC. All the bulky components are off-loaded on a small separate PCB that gets connected via a super flexible FPC cable. All connectors -including the SD card that holds the operating system- are bundled together on a single location. Never worry again about accessing the SD card or power connectors that are on the wrong side!
Same goes for the AUDIO, the LCD and the GPIO connector. All peripherals can be connected using FPC cables. This is much more professional and also a lot more space saving than any other solutions.
The interface board (65mm x 30 mm) including connectors for RJ45 LAN, USB host, USB slave (power), S/PDIF out and the SD card will ship with the standard version of PolyCore1.
There will be a range of great audio peripheral boards as well as a 800 x 600 LCD with capacitive touch and also a native WiFi+BT extension a bit later.
The price point of all the components will be very appealing if you take into consideration that all is engineered and also manufactured in Germany.
We will provide you with a customized Linux kernel that includes all the necessary drivers for our additional products. We are also offering a Debian Jessie image for rapid development and a custom distribution dedicated to audio streaming called PolyOS. All software will be open source – of course.
More details are coming soon. Stay tuned for updates! If you have questions feel free to post them in our forum or as a comment below. | hobby |

Welcome to Andy Weise's 2006 NHL Playoff Pool. This is all
for fun and no money is involved. Myself and a few other hockey
fans try to show who knows the most and who wants to prove that
they are the best prognosticator of NHL hockey.
The rules are pretty simple:
- For each series, select who will win that series and in how many games. Points are awarded for picking the correct team. Bonus points are also awarded for picking the correct number of games that each series will last, regardless of who wins the series. For example, let's say the New Jersey Devils defeated the Buffalo Sabres in 7 games. Points would be given for anyone picking the Devils to win the series. Additional points would be awarded if the Devils
were actually picked to win in 7 games. However, if you picked the Sabres
to win in 7 games, only the bonus points would also be awarded. The point
system per playoff round is listed below.
- Selections will be made prior to each round, so that you do not have to give one set of picks for the entire playoff tournament. The matchups and deadline will be announced shortly after the end of the previous round.
- To make your selections for the current round, go here.
- Additional bonus points will be awarded for pre-playoff predictions of each Conference Champion (25 points each) and the Stanley Cup champion (50 points).
Here's how the points are given:
|Stanley Cup Finals
An additional 20 points will be awarded to any player for each team
that they correctly predict - prior to the start of the playoffs - to reach the
finals. 30 bonus points will be awarded if a player correctly predicts the
Stanley Cup champ - also before the playoffs begin.
- Joe DiFiore (JAD) - 2004 (and defending) Champ

I am really loving the classes and only have 100% positive things to report. I feel really welcome at class and there is a lovely friendly atmosphere and the classes are great and give the right amount of variety/challenge. I can really feel the difference in my body too and am managing to stay injury free while running/walking etc and to think more about core/pelvic floor/posture etc. The flexible approach to classes is also really helpful – being able to either attend a different in-person class or zoom class or receive the zoom recordings is super.
Sarah teaches Pilates at various locations in this area of Somerset and Devon, both in person at different halls and online over Zoom. Class sizes are now no greater than 12 people, both male and female, and covering a wide age range. She is an excellent instructor whose classes are fun and as challenging as they need to be across the age range. The majority of our class members are older people and Sarah never patronises us or makes us feel inadequate. Quite the opposite, in fact, because she is always encouraging and, despite our inadequacies, makes us believe in ourselves and our ability to achieve.
New routines are introduced each term and classes are progressive, never boring; Sarah explains the purpose of different exercises and routines to give us an understanding of what we are doing. She is also aware of our individual physical limitations and difficulties and gives alternative routines where necessary. Always flexible, she treats and knows us all as individuals and is happy to provide help and advice on an individual basis.
Classes are invariably fully booked, and there is frequently a waiting list for a particular class, testament in itself to her teaching abilities.
I didn’t quite believe you, Sarah, when you said that I would see a difference after just a few classes. But how wrong I was – I am loving my new shape. Thank you! | hobby |
https://the-toad-patrol-club.deviantart.com/ | 2018-02-19T06:10:55 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-09/segments/1518891812405.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20180219052241-20180219072241-00562.warc.gz | 0.965712 | 841 | CC-MAIN-2018-09 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2018-09__0__267380522 | en | So, I was talking to a fellow member when we had a fabulous idea: let's revisit a certain Toad Patrol Club collaboration from a few years ago:
We have since been met with more talented members and would love to see what the Toad Patrol would look like in the club's hands today. Let's make them proud!Details:
Everyone will have an opportunity to draw a Toad Patrol character. We will try to get everyone from the main Toad Patrol group filled, but if we get more than eight sign-ups, then we will expand to include more support characters.
Here's how this will work:
Every person who signs up must put three characters they'd be willing to draw. One of those choices will be your character so choose wisely.
If you participated in the last collaboration, you can't choose the character you drew again. This will allow everyone an opportunity to draw their favourite character(s).Example Sign-Up:
2. Slippery Jack
3. Elf CupRules:
The rules are similar to the previous time, but there have been some changes so please read the rules carefully.
1. Your character must be digitally drawn or digitized (high-quality scan - no photos with your camera/cell phone) with a transparent background. This is sometimes a point of confusion, so I'll make things clear: a white background is not transparent and if you're planning on making the background the same colour as deviantART green, then you may as well erase it. If you need details on how to do this properly, don't hesitate to send a message along. The Toad Patrol Club team is prepared to help you out.
2. No shading! I know this will be tough, but unfortunately, the last time we did this, the light sources were all over the place. That wasn't anyone's fault; everyone did as they were asked. But it made it difficult to place the toadlets in the background. For this collaboration, one person will shade all of the characters when assembling them on the background to make it easier. (If we get a volunteer shader and backgrounder, then that'd be excellent! Anyone who wants to skip drawing the characters and just do the shading or the background is welcome to do so. They will be credited as being part of the collaboration.)
3. You are allowed to have props, but the props may not obscure the character unless they're a familiar part of the character. They also may not be shaded.
Examples of what is okay:
- Oyster using her see-all.
- Slippery Jack looking at his path-finds, though please be reasonable. Don't use his path-finds to hide his body on purpose.
- Beauty Stem with her petals down.
- A character observing or smelling a flower as long as it doesn't block any part of their face/body in any significant way. (You won't be penalized if the stem is blocking out part of their hand, but you will be if their face/body is buried in the flower.)
- A character observing a small rock/gem.
Examples of what is not okay:
- Plopping down a giant anything in front of your character.
- Obscuring your character's face with anything that isn't a part of them or a familiar part associated with them.
4. Your character may face forward or either side, partially or fully. They may not have their back facing the audience.
5. Once you've been given your assignment and have finished your image, please provide a method of download for the people running the collaboration. Whether it's a Sta.sh download or a high-resolution download from your page, we must be able to download it to include it.
6. The possibilities are vast. As long as your picture follows the collab rules and club rules, you're golden.
7. If you have any questions that may not have been answered by either rule set, then please send a private message along to Tinker-JetDeadline:

Either the poker player wins, or even the banker wins, or you will find a tie. The game was supposedly launched into France from Tuscany about late 1400. It is a game which includes three types – baccarat banque, baccarat chemin de fer, and punto banco. Whilst the former two enable the gamers to make a option, which involves ability and strategy when they play baccarat, punto banco is totally a game of good fortune. There exists a excellent hype around this game, but it really is pretty easy to understand. The makers of online gambling houses in some way understood it and launched it for the public and eliminated the myth that Baccarat is simply for high rollers and the super high level.
Within a live baccarat game, a poker player can converse using the dealership and the fellow gamers. They can also watch the dealership mix up the cards. In property gambling houses, the dealership only shuffles the cards and wrist watches on the betting. However, in live baccarat, the dealership also takes the role in the banker, which within a normal game is done from the gamers, subsequently. If someone isn’t willing to play the game, he/she can also place wagers around the game. They can wager around the gamers winning the game, the banker winning the game, or even a tie. At the outset of the game, the dealership takes wagers. The wagers are off after the dealership publicizes, “No longer wagers”. To start the game, the dealership offers two cards deal with up. The first and the third cards go the poker player and the second and the fourth playing card go to the dealership. The majority of the gambling houses use 8 decks for the game, however some use 6 and 1 decks also.
In baccarat, the objective in the game is to obtain a hand totaling 9 or as close to that particular as you can. The playing card 10 up-wards, i.e. the image cards are used as . The rest in the cards are used at deal with worth and the Ace as 1. The principles of all of the cards dealt to some poker player are measured and if the sum surpasses 9, then just the second value of the sum is taken into account. So, if a poker player has cards 2 and 6, then this total worth is 8. However, if a poker player has 5 and 9, then this total worth is 14, which surpasses 9. So, only 4 is recognized as for the purpose of the game. A poker player can ask for a 3rd playing card if the total value of the initial two cards is less than 5, or even a 10. The dealership can also have a 3rd playing card if a poker player does so.
Playing baccarat has been famously shown in David Bond’s On line casino Royale in which the well-known spy performs the game using a group comprising the villain. James Bond was displaying playing the game in Dr. No, Thunderball, In Her Majesty’s Secret Services, and Gold Eye. It is a noble game which includes now moved on from your high level for the simpler people, thanks to online live gambling houses.
The main goal in the game is always to arrive as close to 9 as you can, without having groing through. The hand nearest 9 wins. The game will begin after you have placed your wagers. You will find 3 kinds of wagers that you simply can place. You can bet around the poker player, around the banker, or perhaps in a tie. You are going to then be dealt two cards, therefore will the dealership. In case your hand total is 9 you do have a “all-natural” and also you earn instantly. In case you are dealt a 5 as well as a 6 for instance, you may not bust. The value of your hand is measured as 1, less 11.
Right after your initial two cards have already been dealt, you can pull additional cards in order to. If you wan to earn at baccarat you need to be the nearest 9. You can be prepared to be compensated even cash on a winning poker player bet. Banker wagers have a tendency to earn more regularly, but you must pay out a certain percentage for the on line casino for each winning banker bet.
This is pretty much all there exists to know about baccarat. As you can view the guidelines are incredibly simple. No mater if you decide to play baccarat within a property dependent on line casino or you decide to play online baccarat, you are sure to have a good time and maybe earn a lot of money. You need to know that we now have 3 kinds of baccarat games. We are going to jsdzym discuss them in more detail another time, the main thing to consider would be the guidelines of baccarat and understand how the game is performed. If you know the basic principles you may effortlessly pick on any variations. | hobby |

Maybe you find it difficult to keep your camera steady or get the right angle for your shot. If this sounds familiar, then you might want to consider investing in a ball head tripod. But what exactly is a ball head tripod and why should you choose one for your outdoor photography needs? In this article, we’ll explore the features and benefits of ball head tripods and provide a guide on what to look for when choosing one for your next outdoor photography adventure.
What is a Ball Head Tripod?
When it comes to outdoor photography, having a stable and reliable tripod can make a big difference in the quality of your shots. A ball head tripod is a popular choice among photographers, as it allows for easy and precise adjustments of the camera angle. But what exactly is a ball head tripod? Let’s take a closer look at its design and movement. To learn more about the benefits and drawbacks of using a ball head tripod, check out our article on pros and cons.
One of the most important aspects of a ball head tripod’s design is its compactness. As the name suggests, these tripods have a ball-shaped head that allows for significant movement in all directions. The compact design of a ball head tripod makes it easy to pack and carry, which is particularly important for outdoor photography. This design minimizes bulk, which can be a huge advantage when hiking to remote shooting locations.
Another feature of a ball head tripod’s design is its range of motion. A good ball head tripod will allow photographers to tilt and rotate their camera on a variety of different axes, from horizontal to vertical and everything in between. This freedom of movement is what sets ball head tripods apart from other types of tripods, and it’s what makes them particularly useful for outdoor photography.
Finally, ball head tripods come in a range of sizes and styles, so it’s important to choose a model that suits your specific needs. For example, some ball head tripods are designed specifically for cameras, while others are more versatile and can be used with both cameras and video equipment. Some tripods are particularly lightweight, making them ideal for travel and outdoor use, while others have a heavier weight capacity and are better suited to studio work.
The design of a ball head tripod is one of the most important considerations when choosing a tripod for outdoor photography. It’s essential to choose a model that meets your needs in terms of size, weight, and range of motion, and that is built to last. To learn more about the different types of ball head tripods available, you can read more about it here. If you already have a ball head tripod and want to learn about how to maintain it, you can read some tips here.
When it comes to movement, ball head tripods are known for their great flexibility and versatility. Unlike other tripod heads, ball heads feature a single locking mechanism that adjusts the angle of the camera in all directions with a simple twist. This design allows for quick and easy adjustments on the fly, making them ideal for outdoor photography.
Additionally, ball head tripods offer smooth movement and are great for panoramic shots. Some models even come with a separate panning base that allows for a 360-degree rotation, making it easier to capture stunning panoramic views.
It’s important to keep in mind that the range of motion and smoothness of movement will depend on the ball size and locking mechanism of the tripod. Larger ball sizes offer greater range of motion and increased stability for larger cameras and lenses, while smaller ball sizes are more lightweight and portable. Meanwhile, a good locking mechanism is essential for keeping your equipment safe and secure, especially when shooting in challenging outdoor conditions.

If you’re interested in panoramic photography, our guide to ball head tripods for panoramic shots may be helpful. And if you want to learn more about the differences between ball head and pan-tilt tripods, our article on ball head vs. pan-tilt tripods is definitely worth a read.
Why Choose a Ball Head Tripod for Outdoor Photography?
When it comes to outdoor photography, a ball head tripod is an essential tool for many photographers. The main reason why you should choose a ball head tripod for outdoor photography is the flexibility it provides. Unlike other types of tripods, ball head tripods allow photographers to make quick and precise adjustments to the camera’s position, making it easier to capture the perfect shot.
Additionally, ball head tripods are also much more versatile because they can support a wider range of camera equipment. They have a higher weight capacity than other types of tripods, which means that they can support heavier cameras and lenses without wobbling or tipping over. This makes them ideal for outdoor photography, where the camera equipment needs to be stable and secure in unpredictable terrain or windy conditions.
Ball head tripods are also lightweight and compact, which is perfect for photographers who need to carry their equipment over long distances. They are easy to set up and take down, which means that photographers can focus on capturing the perfect shot instead of wasting time setting up their equipment.
There are several features that make ball head tripods the ideal choice for outdoor photography, including their flexibility, versatility, and portability. With their higher load capacity and ability to provide precise adjustments, ball head tripods are an invaluable tool for capturing the perfect outdoor shot. If you’re interested in learning more about ball head tripods, check out our article on choosing the right ball head tripod for your camera.
Features to Consider When Choosing a Ball Head Tripod for Outdoor Photography
When it comes to outdoor photography, having a reliable tripod is essential to capture the perfect shot. A ball head tripod is a popular choice for photographers who need flexibility and ease of use in their equipment. However, not all ball head tripods are created equal, and there are several important features to consider when choosing the right one for your needs. From load capacity to locking mechanism, each aspect can greatly impact your photography experience. Let’s explore the top features to keep in mind when selecting a ball head tripod for your outdoor photography adventures, including the importance of weight capacity and how it can affect your shooting options. Learn more about ball head tripod weight capacity here.
When choosing a ball head tripod for outdoor photography, load capacity is one of the most important features to consider. This refers to the maximum weight that the tripod can support. It is important to choose a tripod with a load capacity that can accommodate the weight of your camera and any additional accessories you may be using, such as a heavy lens or a flash.
Different ball head tripods will have different load capacities, so it is important to check the specifications before making a purchase. Below is a table with examples of different load capacities and the types of cameras they can support:
|Compact and point-and-shoot cameras
|Entry-level DSLR cameras with small to medium lenses
|Professional DSLR cameras with heavy lenses
It is important not to exceed the load capacity of your tripod, as this can result in instability and even damage to your equipment. For videography, a higher load capacity is recommended as video equipment can be heavier and more bulky than photography equipment. Check out our article on ball head tripods for videography tips to learn more about choosing the right tripod for video.
When choosing a ball head tripod for outdoor photography, make sure to consider the load capacity as well as other important features such as size and weight, material, and locking mechanism. With the right tripod, you can capture stunning outdoor photographs with stability and ease.
Size and Weight
When choosing a ball head tripod for outdoor photography, size and weight are important factors to consider. The greater the size and weight of the tripod, the more stable it will be. However, larger and heavier tripods can be cumbersome to carry and may not be practical for certain outdoor photography situations.
- Size: The size of the tripod is determined by its extended height and its collapsed length. Consider the maximum height you need for your shooting and how compact you need the tripod to be when on the move. A taller tripod provides more flexibility in terms of camera placement, while a shorter tripod may be more stable in windy conditions or for low-angle shots.
- Weight: Consider the weight of the tripod as it will add extra weight to your camera bag. A heavier tripod will be more stable in windy conditions but can be tiring to carry during long hikes. Conversely, a lighter tripod is more portable but less stable in strong winds, further, be aware that the camera equipment that you are going to use with the tripod also contributes to the load weight.
To give an idea about size and weight options on the market there is a table to compare selected models:
|Maximum Height (inches)
|Collapsed Length (inches)
|Vanguard Alta Pro 263AB 100
|Gitzo GT5563GS Systematic
The Vanguard Alta Pro 263AB 100 is the lightest model, making it ideal for carrying over long distances, while the Gitzo GT5563GS Systematic is the heaviest and may be better suited for photographing static subjects in windy conditions.
When choosing a ball head tripod for outdoor photography, material is an important factor to consider. The material can affect the tripod’s durability, stability, and weight. Here are some commonly used materials for ball head tripods:
– Lightweight yet strong
– Resistant to corrosion and scratches
|– Not as stable as other materials
– Not suitable for extremely low temperatures
|– Lightweight yet sturdy
– Provides better stability than aluminum
– Resistant to temperature changes
|– More expensive than aluminum
– Can be prone to cracking under impact
|– Lightweight yet strong
– Resistant to corrosion and impact
– Provides better stability than aluminum
|– More expensive than aluminum
– Can be prone to cracking under impact
|– Provides the best stability
– Resistant to impact and extreme temperatures
– Can be prone to rusting
While aluminum is the most common material due to its affordability and lightweight, it may not be suitable for certain outdoor conditions where stability is crucial. Carbon fiber and magnesium alloy provide better stability and are more resistant to temperature changes but are also more expensive than aluminum. Steel, on the other hand, is the heaviest but provides the best stability and is resistant to impacts and extreme temperatures. Ultimately, the material choice will depend on the user’s specific needs and budget.
When considering a ball head tripod for outdoor photography, the size of the ball is an important factor to consider. The ball size will determine the maximum amount of weight that can be supported by the tripod head. A larger ball will generally have a higher load capacity, but may also result in a larger and heavier tripod overall.
Some key points to keep in mind when considering the ball size include:
- Load capacity: As mentioned, the size of the ball is directly related to the load capacity of the tripod head. If you plan to use larger or heavier equipment, such as a DSLR camera with a telephoto lens, you may want to consider a tripod with a larger ball (e.g. 40mm or larger) to ensure stability.
- Handling: A larger ball can also make it easier to make fine adjustments to the position of your camera or other equipment. This is particularly important for outdoor photography, where conditions may be less predictable and you need to be able to quickly adjust your equipment to get the perfect shot.
- Compatibility: When choosing a ball head tripod, make sure the ball size is compatible with any other equipment you plan to use. Some cameras and lenses may have specific requirements for tripod mounts, and using the wrong size could result in instability or equipment damage.
- Weight: Keep in mind that a larger ball will typically result in a heavier tripod overall, which can be more difficult to transport and set up. If you plan to use your tripod for travel or hiking, a smaller ball size may be a better option.
The ball size is an important consideration when choosing a ball head tripod for outdoor photography. It can impact the load capacity, handling, compatibility, and weight of the tripod, so it’s important to choose a size that’s appropriate for your equipment and needs.
One of the most important features to consider when choosing a ball head tripod for outdoor photography is the locking mechanism. This mechanism determines how tightly the ball head can be locked in place, which affects the stability and security of your camera.
There are several types of locking mechanisms available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Below is a table summarizing the most common locking mechanisms:
|Simple and easy to use, allows for quick adjustments
|May not be able to support heavier equipment, can slip over time
|Quick and easy to use, can support heavier equipment
|May be less precise and limited in adjustment possibilities
|Highly stable and secure, can support heavy equipment
|May be slower to adjust, requires more effort to use
When considering a locking mechanism, it is important to think about the weight and size of your equipment, as well as how frequently you will need to make adjustments. If you are shooting with heavier equipment, a more secure locking mechanism may be preferable. On the other hand, if you need to make frequent adjustments to your camera angle, a friction-based mechanism may be more suitable.
Ultimately, the locking mechanism you choose will depend on your personal preferences and shooting style. It is recommended to try out a few different types of locking mechanisms before making a final decision.
The base of a ball head tripod is an important feature to consider when choosing a model for outdoor photography. Here are some factors to keep in mind:
- Flat or bowl base: The base can either be flat or bowl-shaped. A flat base is better for general use, as it can be used on any surface. However, a bowl base is ideal for rough terrain, as it can be more stable and allow for smoother movement.
- Compatibility: Make sure the base of the ball head tripod is compatible with your camera equipment. Some tripods have interchangeable bases or come with adapters to fit different cameras.
- Material: The material of the base can affect its durability and stability. Look for a base made of high-quality materials such as aluminum or carbon fiber.
- Base diameter: The diameter of the base can affect the stability of the tripod. A wider base can offer more stability, but may also make the tripod heavier and bulkier to carry.
- Leg angles: Some ball head tripods offer adjustable leg angles, which can help you set up on uneven terrain and provide additional stability.
- Center column: Some ball head tripods also have a center column that can be raised or lowered to adjust the height of the camera. However, this can also affect the stability of the tripod.
Considering these factors can help you choose a ball head tripod with a base that will best suit your outdoor photography needs.
When it comes to choosing the right ball head tripod for outdoor photography, the head movement is one of the key features that photographers should consider. Here are some important points to keep in mind:
- 360-Degree Rotation: A high-quality ball head should allow for a full 360-degree rotation. This means that you can easily switch from shooting in landscape to portrait orientation without having to adjust the tripod legs or the placement of the camera on the head.
- Tension Control: The best ball heads also offer adjustable tension control. This allows you to customize the resistance of the ball movement to match the weight of your camera and lens. A ball head with too little tension will cause your camera to sag or droop, while too much tension will make it difficult to adjust the position of your camera smoothly.
- Panoramic Rotation: Some ball heads also provide panoramic rotation, which allows you to smoothly pan your camera across a horizontal plane. This can be especially useful for capturing panoramic landscapes or for shooting video footage.
- Angle Adjustment: Another important feature to consider is the ability to adjust the angle of the head. This can be useful when shooting on uneven terrain or when you need to capture a specific angle or perspective.
- Quick Release: Finally, many ball heads come equipped with a quick-release plate or system. This allows you to quickly and easily attach and detach your camera from the tripod head, which can save you time and reduce the risk of dropping your equipment.
The head movement of your ball head tripod is a crucial factor in determining its usability and versatility for outdoor photography. By considering the features listed above, you can choose a ball head that meets your specific needs and allows you to capture stunning photos and videos in any setting.
How to Use a Ball Head Tripod for Outdoor Photography
Now that you have chosen your ball head tripod, it’s time to learn how to use it for outdoor photography. The proper use of a tripod can significantly enhance the quality of your images by reducing camera shake and providing stability in challenging shooting conditions. In this section, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of setting up and adjusting the ball head, as well as securing your equipment for a worry-free shooting experience. Let’s dive in!
Setting up the tripod
Setting up the tripod: Before you can start taking photos, you need to properly set up your ball head tripod. Here’s a step-by-step guide for doing just that:
|Choose a level surface to put your tripod on. This will ensure that your shots aren’t tilted or off-balance.
|Pull out the legs of the tripod to your desired height. Make sure that all three legs are at the same height so the tripod doesn’t tilt.
|Lock the legs in place at the desired height using the leg locks. This will provide a stable base for your camera.
|Add the center column if needed. Some tripods have a center column that can be added to increase height.
|Attach the camera to the ball head using the quick release plate. This plate slides into the head and locks into place, allowing you to quickly and easily attach and remove your camera.
|Adjust the ball head to position your camera. The ball head allows you to move your camera in any direction, so position it to capture the shot you want.
|Make sure the ball head is tight and won’t move or slip. This will ensure that your camera stays in position during your shoot.
|Double-check everything before taking your shot. Make sure your camera is secure and the tripod is stable on a level surface.
By following these steps, you’ll be able to quickly and easily set up your ball head tripod, allowing you to focus on capturing beautiful outdoor photos.

|Move the camera to the desired angle and orientation by adjusting the ball head, ensuring that the camera remains level.
|Adjust the head movement to ensure that the camera remains stable, using the control knobs to lock the ball head in place.
While adjusting the ball head: be careful to keep the camera level and avoid making any sudden moves that could cause the camera to fall off the tripod. It’s also important to ensure that the ball head is securely locked in place before releasing the camera to avoid accidents. Taking these precautions will help you get the best possible shot while keeping your gear safe.
Safely securing your equipment
When using a ball head tripod for outdoor photography, it’s important to ensure that your equipment is safely secured to the tripod. This not only protects your camera and lenses from damage, but also reduces the risk of accidents.

|Make sure the ball head is tightened securely before mounting your camera. Use the locking mechanism to ensure that the ball head doesn’t move unintentionally.
|Attach your camera to the ball head using a quick release plate. This allows you to easily detach and reattach your camera as needed, while still keeping it secure on the tripod.
|When attaching your lens to the camera, make sure the lens is properly aligned with the camera mount. This ensures that your shots are sharp and in focus.
|Use a camera strap to add an extra layer of security. This can help prevent accidental drops or damage to your equipment.
|If you’re shooting in windy conditions or on uneven terrain, consider using additional weights or anchors to keep your tripod stable. This will prevent your equipment from getting knocked over or damaged.
Following these tips will help ensure that your equipment stays safe and secure while using a ball head tripod for outdoor photography. Remember to always double-check that everything is properly secured before starting your shoot.

The kernel has been upgraded to version 3.18.6, and the image now includes (following Gordon's very helpful input) an enhanced set of userspace packages (full list here), precompiled for convenience. All included packages are up-to-date against the Gentoo tree, as of 10 Feb 2015 (and so, of course, shellshock, heartbleed and Ghost fixes have been applied).
As before, you can burn the supplied image to a USB key (>=8GB now, Lexar and SanDisk keys seem the most reliable), then boot your B3 from it, without affecting any installed (Excito) system on your B3's hard drive. (The compressed image is 349MiB; writing takes between 10 and 20 minutes, depending on your system.) You can even boot a diskless B3! No soldering, compilation or U-Boot flashing is required.
The live-USB may then be used as a rescue disk, to play with Gentoo Linux, or as the starting point to install Gentoo Linux on your B3's main hard drive. Any packages you install, or other changes you make, while running the live-USB are saved on the USB key, but do not affect your existing Excito system, so you can run Gentoo for a while, then reboot back into your Excito system and continue to use it as normal, then boot back into the USB at a later date - any changes you made will still be there when you do.
Full instructions are provided on the project's GitHub page (including how to specify initial network settings, so you can ssh in once booted, and how to install Gentoo on your B3's internal hard drive too, in case you want to do that).
Some other changes in this release:
- The same image may now be used to boot both standard and diskless B3s (shifted to UUID-based naming).
- Utilities for (re)building the kernel (buildkernel-b3: source, manpage), and keeping your system up to date easily (genup-lite: source, manpage), are provided.
- You can now use the rear power button to turn off your B3, if you like (thanks to Gordon's ebuild for Tor's bubba-buttond, installed on the image).
- The workaround for the Marvell tso issue has been implemented.
- The supplied system is subscribed to my sakaki-tools-lite and gentoo-b3 overlays, and (Gordon's) bubba overlay.
- The image now includes a 1GiB swap partition (and has more free space on its root); this means you can build even large packages (like boost for example) when running from the USB, should you wish to do so.
- The front LED now shows purple during early boot, rather than turning off, via a slightly modified DTS (provided here). (As before, it turns solid green once Gentoo is running.)

The Hotel Avenida Palace, in partnership with Prof. Manuel Malfeito Ferreira (Professor of the Institute of Agronomy), will organize in its spaces an initiation course of wine tasting, on the 12th of May 2012, Saturday, at 17h, aimed at people who wish to initiate or expand their knowledge on this area. This is the perfect occasion to learn how to savor wines for a meal, to care for your service, to understand how wine is produced and plenty other subjects. The course is given in a practical perspective, in which the tasting of six to seven wines per session demonstrates the themes developed in the theoretical part. The “knowledge evaluation" will take place in the cocktail during which the wine best suited for this purpose will be determined.

I am David Slater, a Freemason resident in Canberra, Australia, who belongs to four lodges in the jurisdiction of the United Grand Lodge of New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. This website is for Freemasons who have an interest in the ciphered texts of John Browne and William Finch produced at the turn of the 19th century. The files available at present are deciphered texts of John Browne’s 1798 and 1802 editions of his Master-Key and William Finch’s 1802 edition of his Masonic Treatise. These are displayed with the original ciphered texts. The differences between Finch’s 1801 edition which he named “a Masonic Key” and his 1802 “Masonic Treatise” will be added later. These differences from the 1802 edition include that it includes a number of extracts from William Preston’s writing not in the 1802 edition, is more difficult to set in order because the sections and degrees are not labelled, uses the long medial s (ſ) and there are errors which are corrected in the 1802 edition. I have also deciphered four quarto pages that accompanied John Browne’s Tracing Boards. These will appear after 9 May 2019, the date that I will be presenting a paper to Lodge Quatuor Coronati. If you are a Freemason and you wish to download these passworded files, please contact me for passwords. You are free to copy and print these files but acknowledgement of the source is required.

April in my garden is one of the most beautiful months, colors are soft, trees are leafing out... everywhere is green and fresh, it's difficult not to be mesmerised by it.
My tulips are better than ever this year, this is the 4th year I have these same tulip bulbs and they are not showing any signs of fading, I suspect this area of Portugal has a pretty good climate to perennialize tulips.
It is very important for the tulips to be warm and dry in the summer, they like to be baked by the sun, but they can´t stand to be warm and wet, in this conditions they can easily rot and die. So I stop watering tulips as soon as bulbs go dormant, also we receive virtually no rain after June until september, right when the weather starts to be fresher, and that helps a lot to keep bulbs in good conditions. But, I never plant tulips in full sun, they perform better in dappled shade in this country, they still get all the light and heat they need, full sun is too much for all the Dutch hybrids.
Does anyone growing tulips in zone 9 has a similar expirience?
Other plants that stand out in the garden this time of year are: Scilla peruviana, the portuguese squill and Armeria, which is also a native. Scilla peruviana bulbs like to be divided every two years or so in order to bloom properly. They form big clumps with no blooms after few years.
Hardy geraniums are not very common in this country, but they start to be appreciated by some people. they are grown mostly as a shade plant and their beautiful flowers can bring interest for many months to a less visible area of the garden. They need a good mulch every year.

Basically geocaching is like a traditional treasure hunt, but instead of having a paper map with an X marking the spot, “cachers” use a handheld portable device, around the size of a mobile phone, called a Global Positioning System receiver (or GPS as its more commonly known) to locate their position on the earth’s surface.
Using a system of dedicated satellites, a GPS can accurately and rapidly give a user their coordinates. If a user knows the coordinates of a particular thing on the earth’s surface the GPS can guide the user to this item, showing the user’s distance and direction from the item. Geocaching uses this functionality to enable cachers to place some treasure (a cache) at a particular location and then share the coordinates with the rest of the geocaching community (through the official geocaching webpage ). Other cachers can then programme these coordinates into their GPS and go hunting! When they find the cache they can log their visit in the logbook and exchange an item in the cache for an item they have brought.
So where did it all start…..well where everything does, on the internet! On May 1st, 2000, the GPS signal degradation called “Select Availabilty” (SA) was removed by the Clinton Administration. Two days later, on May 3rd 2000 a guy called Dave Ulmer hid the first geocache in, Oregon, USA, and then posted about it on the sci.geo.satellite-nav newsgroup:
From: Dave ([email protected])
Subject: GPS Stash Hunt… Stash #1 is there!
Well, I did it, created the first stash hunt stash and here are the coordinates: N 45 17.460 W122 24.800 Lots of goodies for the finders. Look for a black plastic bucket buried most of the way in the ground. Take some stuff, leave some stuff! Record it all in the log book. Have Fun! Stash contains: Delorme TopoUSA software, videos, books, food, money, and a slingshot | hobby |

After only six years in this house, I painted the bedroom that used to belong to The Boy Child, but now holds the computer and one metric ass ton of crap. It was a Chinese lacquer red. You know how you always read in home magazines that painting a small room (this one is about 10×10) a deep color can actually open the space up or some such nonsense? Let me set you straight: MAGAZINES LIE. Because it was semi-gloss, it was a little like trying to work inside a liver or possibly a spleen. It is now a blue-green that was supposed to be more green than blue, but is actually more blue than green. A fact which bothers me not at all because the room IS NOT RED.
I know. You like a red room. Your dining room is red. It was a federal law from the years 1995 to 2007 that all dining rooms be painted red. I like a red room too. I like it in someone else’s home, not mine. A person should not have to pay bills and print out coupons inside a spleen. It’s too much of a reminder how much the phone bill is leaching from your person. I should have painted the office the color of a turnip now that I think about it. “You can’t get blood from a turnip,” is exactly what I say to the Bills as they gather. They don’t seem to care.
Regardless, the room is now painted and the house is a full 20 degrees cooler and I have a new batch of paint splatters on my jeans which nicely compliment the deep, murky green ones from when I painted the bathroom vanity last summer. And this brings me to my point. I consider these my good jeans.
In 2007, about the time people were over their red dining rooms and started painting everything the color of a paper bag, I bought a pair of jeans at Target. I liked them despite the fact that the zipper was apparently sewn in by a blind, three-toed sloth with no need of a zipper that actually met at the top. The jeans were quickly repaired with a hair elastic threaded through the zipper pull and run a couple of times around the button. It is a system that has worked like a charm for five years now. I have gotten other jeans since then. Some I picked up for $10 at a Rose’s in my hometown. Some I spent a ridiculous amount of money for. None could match the comfort and butt-flattering abilities of my Black Label (Black Label always means it’s fancy) Mossimo jeans. They have patches in strategic places and I’ve sewn the pockets back on several times because I pull on back pockets of pants by sticking my thumbs in them. I don’t know why I do this, and didn’t realize I did until I took an afternoon to sew up pockets on every pair of pants I owned with back pockets.
My good jeans are held together with hair elastics and paint. I don’t have to take paint chips with me when looking for fabric for the house. All I need to do is wear my jeans. I know these would not qualify as good to anyone else, but no one else has to wear them. They have a sibling somewhere. I blew out the back of them, put them somewhere I would remember to go back to them to fix them, and have lost them. That’s okay. They wouldn’t remind me what color I painted the guest room. | hobby |

The 2021 Open starts next week, on Thursday 3/11! This year’s Open will be different than years past; only 3 weeks instead of 5, even more scaling options than ever, and obviously COVID is still a factor, unfortunately.
Here’s our plan with regard to COVID: We’re still running a class size limit, but those limits will be expanded for the Open workout sessions. Because of the possibility of more people being in the space and due to COVID still being a thing, we’ll have a few extra precautions in place, and we ask you to bring and wear your mask whenever you’re not warming up or working out. In addition, all our usual precautions will remain in place (stay home if you’re not feeling 100%, social distance whenever possible, sanitize equipment before and after use, etc.).
With that out of the way, here’s the layout for the three weeks of the Open (3/11 to 3/29):
On Thursday night at 8:00p, the Open workout will be announced via live stream on http://games.crossfit.com. Tune in and find out what workout we’ll be doing that weekend, and if you miss it, we’ll post it to SugarWOD shortly after.
The following Friday at 5:30p, we’ll have our Friday Night Lights event. This will be your first chance to get that week’s workout done, and we’ll run as many heats as we need to get everyone through it that wants to, including folks that aren’t registered for the Open but still want a great workout.
The rest of the weekend will run as follows during the Open:
Saturday 8:30a & 9:45a – Our Saturday group Open WOD sessions, with standards given at the start, and organized heats running until everyone has gotten it done. Everyone is welcome, including folks that aren’t registered for the Open.
Sunday 10a – Regular non-Open WOD. Coach on duty will be leading class and will not be available to judge. No Open workouts on the side.
Sunday 4p-6p – Open Gym will be available for folks that still need to get the Open WOD done. No heats, informal.
Friday (morning, noon and 4:15p classes) and Monday (all classes) – Regular non-Open WOD. Coach on duty will be leading class and will not be available to judge. You *must* get your Open workout done during the weekend at one of the sessions listed above. No Open workouts on the side during regular Friday and Monday classes, no exceptions.
To summarize and emphasize, these are the scheduled times to do your Open workout:
- Friday 5:30p
- Saturday 8:30a and 9:45a
- Sunday 4p
These are the *NO-GO* times:
- Friday 5:30a, 6:35a, 12p, 4:15p

If you want to get ahead this year and leave the last minute shopping trips to everyone else, then you might like some of these ideas. When you are looking for original ideas for stocking fillers, you can spend hours looking for that perfect gift and that is just the toe of the stocking filled!
Have a look at these gift ideas for inspiration:
Cashmere socks – Everybody seems to get socks at Christmas and they always come in handy but let’s face it, they are not very exciting to open. Why not try something a bit different this year and treat them to cashmere socks?
Smartwatch – If your stocking filler budget is flexible, a smartwatch could be a great gift idea. If they are into their sports then getting one that syncs up with their sporting activities will no doubt go down well. Gadget lovers will be easily pleased with the addition of a smartwatch this Christmas.
Designer cufflinks – You can never have enough cufflinks and designer cufflinks add a nice little bit of sophistication for that important business meeting or that special event. Designer cufflinks are the perfect accessories for smart dressing men.
Thomas Sabo Bracelet – This Christmas, Thomas Sabo have even more great bracelets on offer for the jewellery lovers out there. You can get bracelets ranging from £35 up to a few hundred pounds, so there is a lot of flexibility to match your budget.
Designer underwear – Sick of him wearing those old underpants that he has had for years? Treat him to some nice designer underpants, if you know he will never buy them for himself. Then make sure that you throw the old ones away so they do not get another outing! Sometimes they just need a point in the right direction when it comes to fashion!
Sports accessories – If they like a particular sport then stocking fillers should be easy. For the runner, you can get loads of accessories from sports shops like flashing bands that will keep them safe whilst out in the dark. Or for the football fan, buy the club’s mug, scarf or key ring. Cyclists might need gloves, snoods or glasses to help them out on the road.
Chocolates – Unless they are allergic to chocolate, that is the one ‘must have’ in your stocking. Instead of the same old boring chocolate they have received for years, why not push the boat out and treat them to Hotel Chocolat or similar luxury ranges of chocolate?
Alcohol – If they like a particular brand of drink that isn’t easy to get hold of then treat them by ordering it for their stocking. Maybe add a nice set of glasses to enjoy it with to fill that stocking up but make sure the glasses are well padded before you wrap them!
Bath bombs – Lush and other retailers have a great selection of relaxing or fun bath bombs to fill your stocking with. There are so many variations to choose from that the hard part is choosing which type to buy. Also, they are just the perfect size for a stocking filler and they don’t cost too much either.
Perfume/Aftershave – Their favourite fragrance is an ideal stocking filler and is a really easy one to buy. Keep an eye out for different deals in the lead up to Christmas and you could get yourself a real bargain as well. | hobby |

Woo Hoo!! I placed second in the Women’s Bodybuilding Masters 50 & Over division, but placed first in the Women’s Bodybuilding Open Heavyweight, then won the Women’s Bodybuilding Open Overall Champion. And, I certainly didn’t expect this, but I received my Pro Card! I am now considered a professional bodybuilder!! Whew! I am very thrilled to have done so well, but I am still in shock!!
As I have stated all along, this was about the journey for me. It just goes to show that with a lot of hard work and discipline, you can reach not only your goals but beyond your goals as well! My goal was to train and prepare to the best of my ability and to give it my best once I got on that stage Saturday night. That’s all I could ask of myself! And, that’s what I did, and it paid off tremendously for me!! And, I can’t tell you how excited and pleased I feel having achieved more than what I set out to achieve!! It’s very rewarding!!
I want to thank all of you for your support and encouragement throughout my training process. I can’t tell you how all of your positive feedback on my blog posts really kept me motivated to stay on track and to strive for my best! I would like to also thank my wonderful husband, Tim, and my boys for all of their unwavering support and for having to put up with me during all of this, especially on low carb days!! I couldn’t have succeeded without their love and support. I love you guys!! I would like to thank my awesome trainer, Anthony Tiller, for his love, support, encouragement, and expertise throughout my journey. He is the master behind the madness and the man with the plan!! Thank You Anthony!! And I can’t thank enough my friend and fellow bodybuilder, Tina Bell, for all of her help—-she choreographed my posing routine, provided tremendous amounts of positive support and encouragement, and was always there whenever I needed her! Thanks Tina! I would like to also thank my sweet friend, Lauren Wood, for always being there for me in and out of the gym and always with her beautiful smile!! Your support didn’t go unnoticed!! Thanks Lauren! And last but not least, I want to thank all of my wonderful friends who are part of the fabulous Underdog Family!! You guys also kept me on track with your support and encouragement and willingness to let me have free riegn of the gym whenever I was in there to workout!! Y’all are the BEST!! I love my Underdog family—-you folks ROCK!!
I have enjoyed these last several days of eating and drinking anything I want—-it’s been fun!! My family and I are headed to Spain for our family vacation for the next 10 days, and I can’t tell you how great I feel physically, mentally, and emotionally, and how excited I am to experience the culture of another country and not have a care in the world about what I eat or drink!! BRING IT ON!!! So, when I return, I plan to get back into a regular workout routine of lifting 3 days a week and watching my macros to some degree. My trainer says he is going to reverse me out when I get back from vacation, and it will make it very easy for me to maintain what I have worked so hard to achieve. Although, I hope to put just a little weight back on. I just don’t want to go overboard with all of the bad eating and gain more than I would like.
Thanks again for following along with me during my journey!! | hobby |

Rocks ‘n’ Pops
Hosted by Mr Simeon Haslam 07403744801 [email protected]
Rocks ‘n’ Pops have provided tuition and run rock bands at Lord Deramore’s Primary School for several years. In York, we now tutor over 300 children on rock instruments in primary schools each week and run 32 bands from 13 schools.
We teach vocals, keys , drums, guitar & bass each week, usually in 2 group sessions of 30 minutes for non-band members, and in 2 group sessions of 20 minutes for band members. We do teach from Rock School graded materials, but primarily focus on learning the songs children want to sing and play from the radio or TV. Those children who are also in a band, immediately apply what they have learned in lessons at their weekly band practice.
We run a range of concerts inside and outside school and are asked to provide children’s bands for concerts organised by external bodies. When bands reach year 6, they also do a studio recording. These performance opportunities give children goals to work towards and some very special memories and achievements. Bands usually receive 2-3 concerts per term for Autumn and Spring terms and can choose from around 20 concerts in the Summer term including some larger festivals and venues.
Hosted by Mr Peter Richmond 01904 488581
Pupils are taught to read music and play tunes, rather than just strumming guitar. Although based on ‘classical’ guitar, many other styles are looked at, including Jazz, Blues and Folk. Pupils usually take music exams when they reach an appropriate standard.

My dream was to become a professional narrator, and that dream was realised four years later in 2016 when my English teacher introduced me to Librivox.org. I began volunteering there, and two weeks later, I received an offer to join The Online Stage. Since then I have been branching out to more websites to expand my work, such as Voices of Today, Spoken Realms, Findaway Voices, and The Audiobook Creation Exchange.

Our technician, Joel, made a real effort to ensure all our skiing needs were met, and or boots fit comfortably.
Really lovely personal touch where they checked in on how we were getting on with the equipment during the week.
We especially liked the premium boots offer.
Outstanding rental experience in Tignes! We rented a snowboard and a set of skis for a week and were thoroughly impressed by the service and the quality of the equipment provided.
Instead of the usual low-end gear found at many rental locations, this shop offered genuinely top-notch items.
The Ski Atomic Bent 90s I used were in excellent condition.
Izzi was incredibly knowledgeable and provided fantastic assistance, making our experience even better!
We go skiing twice a year as a group and have never had service anywhere near as good as this!
We arrived later than planned and they were flexible with us, tweaking our planned drop off to collecting us and taking us to the store to get our skis fitted and then dropping us back at our appartment.
We had last minute add-ons that were no problem and one member of our group wasn’t getting on with their boots so the shop came and collected them, took them to store, pulled out every pair of boots until our group member was happy and then bought them back to our apartment.
At the end of the week they came out again and collected the skis from us just as we were waiting for our transfer so super easy!
Next time we are in Tignes we will 100% be using them. Thanks guys!
We were introduced to Tignes Spirit through our son who is working in Tignes this season and they were excellent, beating local competition in all respects.
Communication was much easier in English, they were extremely efficient, friendly and polite.
The equipment was great quality (we had brand new Nidecker snowboard bindings) and pricing couldn’t be beaten.
We’re going back in March and without a doubt will be using them again.
Well done and thank you !!
I highly recommend TS for rental and kit. They go out of their way to set you up with the most appropriate kit.
They stay open late to ensure you can get set up the night before your first day on the snow.
I've never had to wait more than five minutes unlike the large chains which have long queues on busy days.
Although we stayed in le lac this year we wanted down to rent for my son from TS. Worth a short walk/ bus
We were keen to purchase some skis but wanted to try some first.
Staff were super friendly and very helpful and let us try out some skis before we purchased.
Great experience would thoroughly recommend.
This is the 2nd year I've rented from Tignes Spirit. They really know their stuff and ensure you get the perfect fit for your level.
Service is friendly and very professional.
Their aftercare is great and they even phone you the next day to check all is OK with the gear they've rented you.
Although our accommodation was a bus ride away in Val Claret this year, it was worth the short (free bus) journey as their gear is high quality at a very competitive price.
Boots and skis were perfect for me, and last year they even carried out an instant no quibble repair in their onsite workshop when I had a bent brake after a fall!
They also have a very nice shop attached which sells lovely ski wear.
English speakers too which helped us immensely.
I wouldn't rent from anywhere else.
Fantastic service, friendly staff. The equipment was pretty much brand new.
The staff are very knowledgeable. Well stocked shop with all the latest kit!!
Well done tignes spirit!!
I had the best hiring experience with Tignes Spirit Rentals. Ben was phenomenal when I was trying to book some gear online, he was quick to respond and make any amendments I needed.
Quite often with snowboard hiring, you never know what you'd get, but with Tignes, it was exceptionally great gear - both board and bindings. I told them my skill level, type of board I liked and that I was doing back country. As I was going to be in Sainte Foy, not only did they deliver - they made sure it was the right type of board and I got to choose a board I like.
Experience didn't end there, they checked in and made sure everything went well. Couldn't have asked for better gear and experience.
Thanks team and you are my definite go to when I'm up that way again.
Great independent shop - sent them an email with board references that I wanted to try, everything was here and ready.
Went back to the shop to try something new, no issue! I had a brand new ‘Salomon sick stick’ with ‘Salomon Quantum’ bindings, perfect combo to carve and bomb down the slopes! | hobby |

Everyone has a desire to talk to the wind while flying in the air. Whether it’s the deep blue sea or enjoying water sports in the air, people have to go to places like Goa. Now your wish is about to come true in Uttarakhand. Yes, to promote water sports, the Uttarakhand Tourism Development Board is introducing jet skis in Tehri Lake.
The process has been initiated. Initially, four jet skis will be introduced by the board. This will provide tourists with the pleasure of water sports in the lake, similar to Goa. The board will start operating them by the end of September. Trained youth will operate the jet skis. The ticket prices will be determined by the tourism department. This is the first time in the state that jet skis will be introduced, giving wings to tourism. Local people will also be able to enjoy it along with tourists coming from outside. A contract will be signed with a private company for the operation. The company will also provide training to five to ten young people for operating the jet skis.
Jet skis work like watercrafts
If you want to fly in the air, then hydro-powered jet skis are for you. It not only skims on water like skiing but also flies in the air like a jet. It works just like a watercraft, and with its help, you can fly up to a height of 7.6 meters. You can also go up to 10 feet underwater with it. The price of jet skis starts from six lakh rupees. Through the jet thrust adapter, it redirects water from the jet unit of the PWC (Personal Watercraft) and directs it onto the jet ski bike with a 66-foot hose. The pressure of this water is used to propel the jet ski into the air and lift it upwards. This allows the rider to ascend rapidly. | hobby |

Don’t let the quarantine stop you from finding love or having an intimate time and romantic date with your partner. Although virtual dating is not as beautiful as meeting physically, it has its perks that you may want to try as we continue to cope with the hardships brought by the pandemic.
The term “virtual dating” can be seen as a plot for a sci-fi film, but there are many ways to make it special, normal, and enjoyable. Here are 10 fun virtual date ideas to try during COVID-19 that can hopefully make up for the lack of hugs and kisses with him or her:
This activity is a fun way to get to know the person you’re dating and prepare you once you eventually meet. Come up with questions that you are curious about your date, and he or she will also do the same. It’ll be great if both of you have an equal amount of items so that the conversation remains balanced.
As a tip, create questions that are reflective of your personality. You may ask common questions, like, “What’s your job?, or “What’s your childhood like?” Or add a little spice to it, such as their thoughts about your favorite films, hobbies, or ideal future partner.
However, since it’s the first date, do have certain constraints on the questions you’re going to use.
This is an excellent way to measure compatibility and initiate intriguing chats with each other. Both of you will make a top-five list of various topics that may range from films, television shows, or people you would want to be with on a deserted island.
If you disagree with a certain rank, you can start asking questions that can poke fun conversations with each other. Don’t be too defensive, though!
This activity can reveal the things deemed valuable in your life or some funny story to share with your date. Both of you would pick things related to the decided theme for a “show and tell” session.
The themes could be showing your pets, artwork, hobbies, favorite clothes, or college sweatshirts. Use your webcam or smartphone to show the chosen items and explain or tell a story about it.
This activity can show your culinary skills or your lack of it. Either way, the most important thing is to try. Both of you would agree on a recipe to do together in your separate kitchens.
If both of you are relatively new to cooking, it’s better to pick an achievable recipe. Afterward, set your table to a dinner-date like with candles and a bottle of wine. You can talk about the cook-off or anything that both of you would like.
Do you know that you can visit world-class museums online while in your pajamas and at your home’s safety?
If both of you want to turn your culture on by witnessing the world’s finest curated collections, you can check out the Louvre’s Gallerie de’ Apollon, the Smithsonian’s Natural History, or the National Women’s History Museum at NASA online.
With the recent online services like Netflix Party or Meta stream, you and your partner can both share a screen while in different locations.
Since watching movies in the cinema is a no-go, you both can have your movie date through online streaming platforms. Choose a theme for the movie date. It can be about films focusing on hope, movies that changed your life, or movies involving your favorite actors.
A good old-fashion game night usually does the trick when both of you want to have fun and bond with each other. More so, you can easily reveal your partner’s secret competitiveness through game nights. Since both of you have to do this virtually, look for apps or video games available online.
The advantage of playing games is that you don’t have to rack your brains out for conversational topics. It generates a shared focus and enjoyment at the same time.
Enjoy your time together by sweating through online workouts. More so, exercising is more important than ever as it keeps both of you healthy amidst the ongoing pandemic.
It’s nice to share your struggles while keeping up with the strenuous workouts. Finish off the exercise date by eating a healthy lunch virtually and giving off some admiration for a job well done.
How sweet it is to listen to your partner’s voice while reading romantic poems or novels. Reading aloud to each other is a heart-sweeping virtual date because it can inspire thoughtful conversations and spark romantic memories together.
Find something that both of you will fancy and have never done before. Then sign up for a course, webinar, or a virtual class together. This activity is a great way for couples to bond. It will also help you learn more about the world, and your partner’s passions.
It could be anything from learning how to draw, paint, cocktail making, or learning a language. It’ll also give you something to practice and do together after the self-isolation days are over.
Even though the world’s current state is dimmed right now, your love life doesn’t have to be the same. More so, as we continue to live through the changes, we would need support from our loved ones more than ever. And constant communication and interaction with them can help with the overwhelming emotions most of us are probably feeling these days.
So, do continue the love even in the times of social distancing. Once everything goes back to normal, be ready to give and receive a big kiss and hug from your partner.

I quickly explain how to make your arduino card works with your ArchLinux distrib by patching and installing the last version of rxtx.
Step 1 : Arduino package
Install the aur arduino package using the well known and loved binnary : yaourt.
yaourt -S arduino
Step 2 : Download, patch and install rxtx
Download the pre-release zip from http://rxtx.qbang.org/wiki/index.php/Download :
wget http://rxtx.qbang.org/pub/rxtx/rxtx-2.2pre2.zip unzip rxtx-2.2pre2.xip cd rxtx-2.2pre2
Launch configure with the
--disable-lockfile option :
Here, if you try to compile, you’ll probably have a
UTS_RELEASE undefined error. To correct that, first locate the file
find /usr/ -name 'utsrelease.h'). In my case, it is located in
/lib/modules/3.8.4-1-ARCH/build/include/generated/. Then, include this file to
config.h (It’s a file generated by configure.) , so that that constant will be defined everywhere.
echo "\n#include \"/lib/modules/3.8.4-1-ARCH/build/include/generated/utsrelease.h\"\n" > config.h
Now, we have to add the ttyACMx devices to the list of checked devices. We just need to modify the file src/gnu/io/RXTXCommDriver.java, and add an entry into an array (ttyACM). See the diff file here :
--- src/gnu/io/RXTXCommDriver.java.back 2013-03-31 14:14:38.718567087 +0200 +++ src/gnu/io/RXTXCommDriver.java 2013-03-31 14:08:38.728149384 +0200 @@ -577,6 +577,7 @@ "ttyS", // linux Serial Ports "ttySA", // for the IPAQs "ttyUSB", // for USB frobs + "ttyACM",// linux CDC ACM devices "rfcomm", // bluetooth serial device "ttyircomm", // linux IrCommdevices (IrDA serial emu) };
The line marked with a plus is the one added.
Then, compile and install!
make && sudo make install
Use your arduino
You can now launch the arduino IDE (command arduino) and upload a test sketch (like blink). You can select your arduino uno wich will probably show as “ttyACM0” in the device list.
We disable the flag
--diseable-lockfile so that errors messages diseapear speaking about the impossibility to write lock files. We also added the right .h file containing
UTS_RELEASE to remove stupid compiling errors (the file in wich the macro is defined changed recently). To finish, we had to modify rxtx’s code (read the comments, they ask you to add missing devices) so that you can use ttyACMx. An other solution would be to add a symbolic link in /dev/ from a ttyUSBx to a ttyACMx.
Anyway, if you can’t use your arduino, and you have an error of the style
processing.app.SerialNotFoundException: [..] « /dev/ttyACM0 » not found, it’s probably that ttyACM is not in the list of rxtx’s devices. | hobby |

Normally, by November, capitals are covered in snow and ready to go. That means you should not squander an additional second thinking about skiing when rather you might directly down to your favorite hill as well as start hitting the slopes.
If you are mosting likely to make the trip around though, you wish to make certain that it's going to be a truly fun time. That is very easy enough to do when you adhere to these four basic suggestions for ensuring that you have a remarkable ski weekend.
Select the Right Ski Hillside
This is by far the most important part regarding your ski trip planning. You can do every little thing else on this list completely, however if you did not choose a great ski hillside, then it isn't going to matter. But choosing the excellent ski hillside is a lot easier stated than done.
Among the important things that you require to quit and also take into consideration is just how well you recognize the ski hillside. It's not always a poor thing to wish to go out as well as explore a hill that you have actually never ever been to in the past, you simply have to see to it that it is the ideal time to do it.
If it has been a couple years given that you last went skiing and also you are taking your 6-year-old kid to learn to ski for the first time ever before, after that maybe it isn't such an excellent suggestion to check out a hill that you have actually never ever been to before. However, if it is simply you and your significant other vanishing on a charming ski weekend, then you can do not hesitate to go try that hillside that has constantly gotten on your container listing.
Another point that you require to consider is just how expensive lift tickets are at the ski hillside. Whereas several ski hillsides that are close to each various other tend to offer similar prices in order to not shed clients, ski hills that are in an additional state might have them substantially cheaper. Specific ski hillsides likewise supply various discount rates to people that acquire their lift tickets in groups of four or more or for truly young children, which can both be super practical for households taking place ski weekends with each other.
Book the Best Lodgings
Much like with selecting the best ski hill, choosing the ideal location to stay likewise comes with multiple requirements that you need to take into consideration. Among which is its proximity to the ski hill that you have actually chosen to head to. Almost every ski hillside will typically have a wide variety of areas to remain at close by, so locating a suitable place that is close should not be as well tough.
If you are more info planning on carving up some powder in Colorado, after that you ought to seek an inn around Breckenridge that is no even more than a hr's drive away from capital. The last thing that you want to do is go somewhere for the weekend break and also invest just as much time taking a trip to as well as from the ski hillside as you do actually winter sports on it.
You likewise intend to make certain that you are checking out the price because similar to with the ski hillside, the cost of your lodging can make the distinction in between you going there or not. By examining different web sites, you could be able to find some really bargains that you might not otherwise be aware of.
It likewise may benefit you to check out a few of the hotel websites directly. When they are located close to a ski hill, often they will use various discounts and services to those people that are intending on going snowboarding while they remain at their resort in Breckenridge, CO
. Make a decision Exactly How You Want to Travel
This will absolutely be affected by the place of the ski hillside that you selected to visit. If you are intending to go winter sports somewhere that is only one city over, after that your traveling approaches are practically restricted to driving. Nevertheless, if you are headed one state over or perhaps better to some really fantastic hills, then you will certainly have the option to either fly or drive.
Traveling might end up costing a little bit more than driving to your destination would, yet it can also imply that you obtain numerous extra hours to invest in the ski hillside instead of sitting in a lorry. It can frequently be a little bit of a discomfort to attempt and fly with your ski devices, so if you own your equipment and also plan on bringing it with you, then you need to also consider this factor when making your choice.
If you do wind up driving, after that make sure that your vehicle is probably prepared to handle the winter driving. This suggests inspecting the step on your tires, possibly bringing it in for an oil change, and also having an emergency set in your vehicle, or at least, having a blanket as well as flashlight.
Examine the Weather condition
Whenever you are taking a trip anywhere for any factor, it is constantly a good concept to inspect the weather beforehand. No matter what the weather claims, it likely will not quit you from taking place your trip, especially if you booked the resort and also acquired the lift tickets already. But what it could do is inform you regarding what to expect when you are out on the ski hill.
If you see that it is expected to be exceptionally cold for the duration of your trip, then you might want to take into consideration packing a few added layers to use to make sure that you do not need to cut your ski day short since you are no more able to feel your hands.

These delectable bites really do melt and crumble in your mouth and with a recipe this simple, it’s easy to make them at a moment’s notice (did you get that? did you see what I did there?) I included some hydrangeas in my photo today, because down here, the festive season occurs in the midst of summer when these beautiful plants are flowering.
Melting Moment Recipe
125g butter (softened)
1 tsp vanilla
2 tbs icing sugar
3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup corn flour
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup icing sugar
1 tsp milk
Beat the butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy.
Stir in the flours till combined.
Pipe little rosettes onto a lined tray.
Bake till golden.
For the filling, simply beat all the ingredients until smooth and spreadable.
Join two sides together with a slab of filling and voila!
Notes on the Recipe
I double this recipe, so I have plenty to offer friends and family, or even wrap some up for gifts.
You could make red and green icing for Christmas-themed cookies.
You could probably just dollop small amounts straight onto a tray if you don’t have a piping bag, I’m sure it would be fine. The mixture would be too wet to handle too much or roll into a ball, but you could scrap little mounds from a spoon.
These look lovely if served dusted with a little icing sugar. | hobby |

Bushkill Park Roller Rink in Easton, PA
You've been asking and we're finally ready! LVRD is getting back on the track after a two-year hiatus. If you've been thinking about playing roller derby, now is the perfect time to join our new recruit program since veterans and new recruits alike will be working on the very basics of roller derby skills. Not interested in skating? We would love to train you to be a non-skating official with our league. Every role is important in getting roller derby back on the track in 2022!
Our February meet and greet will be a fun, regular open skate - not a try-out. Rentals are available if you don't have your own gear. Hang out, chat, and skate with members of our league. Ask all your burning questions, bring up your concerns!
Following our February Meet & Greet, boot camp to become a skating member of our league will begin on Monday, March 7th and continue every Monday and Thursday from 8:00-10:00 pm. You'll be joining our league at a time when we're all working on the basics. Our only requirement is that you have a very basic level of skating. We will teach you the skills you need to increase your confidence on skates and then move into more advanced skills. We're seriously all starting from that same baseline after two years!
Participation in boot camp is $25 which covers the cost of training, skate rental, and loaner gear. The only gear you need to bring is a mouth guard, face covering, and water bottle!
Become a Skater
Learn what it takes to become a member of our team. See demonstrations of the skills that will be needed for our upcoming try outs. Email us to learn about our next Open Recruit Night.
Transfers welcome at any time!
Join the Refs and Other Volunteers
Lehigh Valley Roller Derby could not do what they do without the help of a very talented and dedicated group of people. Refs, announcers, mascots, statisticians, artists, web programmers, score board operators, DJ’s, game set-up and clean-up, they help with it all. And most times with nothing more than love as payment. Without them, the game could not go on.

Net weight can also be displayed if necessary for borderline conditions and older/lighter players. With no moving parts and advanced microprocessor design, the PS-6700PW is virtually maintenance free. The PS-6700PW also operates as normal scale when not in pass/fail mode.
Constructed entirely of aircraft aluminum, the PS-6700PW is extremely durable yet surprisingly lightweight. It has an incredible 500 lb. weight capacity and provides precise and reliable weight measurements accurate to within 0.1 lb. The PS-6700PW uses a rugged (all aluminum) and efficient battery powered console. Battery life is incredible at 2+ years (over 40,000 weight readings) on a single set of alkaline batteries (included). The PS-6700PW is an exceptional scale at an exceptional price. | hobby |

Check back frequently for new issues with more valuable information about coffee and coffee roasting.|
Roastmaster's Talk Issue 1.1
Welcome to the first issue of Roastmaster’s Talk. Over the past fifteen years, I’ve had countless “Roastmaster talks” with customers while a batch of beans has tumbled around in the coffee roaster. I will use this forum to discuss common questions about coffee and tea, highlight new offerings, seasonal drink ideas, and post responses to emails.
My passion for coffee began while working in my parent’s coffee shop as a teenager. I was intrigued by the exotic origins of the coffee beans I was packaging for our customers. We were “just” retailers of beans supplied by a variety of regional coffee roasters. Visits to our suppliers’ roasting plants and sessions at their cupping tables gave me a greater understanding of what it takes to unlock the full potential of a coffee bean. My college years provided me an opportunity to research and write papers on the history, cultivation, and production of coffee. The desire to have the greatest control over our products’ quality led to the opening of our coffee roasting operation in 1991.
To be successful as a specialty coffee roaster, I feel one must be dedicated to these principles:
Source great raw arabica green beans from around the world.
It is my hope to address all of these topics, and more, as I share my thoughts in this forum. Please feel free to email your questions and comments to: [email protected].

Few people know the truth of this expression more than serious model railway enthusiasts. For a non-enthusiast, it is easy to look in on the kits and simply see a scale model railway. But the enthusiast knows that the details can really make or break the whole success of the scale railway setup. For many enthusiasts, the couplings are the hardest thing to get right.
The problem is that many couplings do not accurately replicate the way that coaches and engines hook together. In many instances, they are over simplified and detract from the look of the overall railway. Worse still, they may not line up. Many manufacturers do not follow a standard approach, meaning that if you have collected coaches or engines from different suppliers, the couplings may not match. In other instances, the couplings may simply be impractical. For example, with some couplings, the gap between the coaches is enormous. For some kits, if you were to calculate the gap between the carriages in terms of the scale of the kit, the couplings would be positioning the coaches as much as 1.5metres apart! In real life this would simply not happen. For one thing, it would make moving between coaches impossible!
One way around this is by replacing the couplings with something that looks good but also maintains the realism in your setup. After all, when you have gone to the effort of getting the right coaches and engines, and you have created your scenery around your track, why let the couplings be the detail that spoils the entire look of your system?
At CRT Kits we can supply couplings for your kits. We have three options. The simplest is the three link chain couplings. This was a peculiarly British method of connecting freight trains on older lines. The three link chain couplings extended the gap between the carriages. This made it easier for trains to get moving as they could essentially move one carriage at a time as the chains pulled taut, rather than moving all the carriages at once. However, the sacrifice was that the journey was incredibly bumpy and not suitable for passenger travel. As an alternative, the screw-link couplings and instanter couplings offered a compromise. This had a middle link which could be adjusted to shorted the slack in the train and reduce the bumpiness of the ride. Our couplings are available in all three types, with machined brass parts and steel chain links. They are ideal for creating authentic couplings which not only look good, but also connect your coaches effectively.
For all enquiries about our parts and accessories, including couplings, and our kit building services, contact us using the details on the website. We are ready to help you! | hobby |

Artful Body provides a creative, core-centered approach to health and wellness. The Artful Body approach is to empower you to be your own most-effective health and wellness resource. By training you to train yourself, Artful Body workouts support your profound and innate ability to strengthen and heal yourself. In addition to being a challenging workout for the mind and body, every session is fun! Playful metaphors and creative imagery keep levity amidst the concentrated focus while musical dynamics are incorporated to keep workouts flowing.
Relying on Joseph Pilates' philosophy of biomechanics as the foundation, Artful Body is a classical Pilates studio (Mr. Pilates called it "Contrology: the Art of Control" while today the work is simply called "Pilates"). Pilates is well-known to produce long, lean muscles and promote strength, flexibility, and proper postural alignment. Every session is not only classical in content but also in context; we teach classical Pilates, classically, for the benefit of the body andmind. Because of the classical emphasis on aligning mind and body, workouts leave you feeling invigorated and not depleted.
Artful Body is housed in one wing of a three-wing, historic barn that was built in 1907; the space lending an air of creativity married with functionality. Originally built to bathe the horses that lived on site, the studio wing was shortly thereafter converted into a maintenance house for an early era automobile and then, later, turned into an art gallery for a photographer's agent in NYC. Artefacts of each of these eras peak out from the corners and walls and invite you to see yourself in your fullest potential- as a work in playful progress. The broad windows and original sliding barn door flood the space with natural light and views to nature, giving you a peaceful environment to connect mindfully with your body.
Creative. Smart. Historically inspired. Artful Body- who doesn't want one?
Create your health!
Meg Berry is a classically-trained Pilates instructor, singer/songwriter, dancer, and former competitive athlete, as well as an anthropologist, historian, global citizen, social entrepreneur, and mother of three. She is founder of the wellness company Artful Body and founder of the nonprofit Pilates Historical Society. As a South Orange resident, she is currently in the midst of giving 26 free Pilates classes to the community as part of 26 Acts of Kindness.

With the upgrade, the printing speed of a Pro3 Series 3D printer is boosted from an average of 50-80 mm/s to 200-350 mm/s, and acceleration is boosted from 1,000 mm/s2 to 10,000 mm/s2, with no loss of accuracy or part quality.
A printer equipped with a Hyper Speed Upgrade can deliver 600-1,000 grams of filament within 24 hours, meaning any parts under 400 grams will be finished within 12 hours.
The kit includes:
- An Upgrade Letter: An Upgrade Letter is included in the Upgrade Kit with an Upgrade Code. With this code, you’ll be able to download the necessary files to upgrade your Pro3 Series.
- Software upgrades
- Two Hyper Speed Hot Ends Assembly 0.4mm (Pro3 Series Only): The high-flowrate hot ends are designed for the Pro3 Series in Hyper Speed Mode. 2 Hyper Speed Hot Ends are included in the Upgrade Kit.
- A Hyper Speed Auto Calibrator (Pro3 Series Only): An auto frequency calibrator is included in the Upgrade Kit, so the printer will be able to measure its own frequency and adjust the parameters by itself. With Pro3 Series’ robust construction and stable design, the printer can keep its own frequency for months without shifting. It is recommended that the calibration process be carried out every 2-3 months. A manual calibration process is also included.
- A spool of Hyper Speed PLA (Color: White. Specifications: 1kg/ 1.75mm): The Hyper Speed filament line is comprised of the most commonly used filaments, such as PLA and ABS. These filaments are designed to withstand the higher speed and still maintain high accuracy.
- A spool of Hyper Speed ABS (Color: Natural. Specifications: 1kg/ 1.75mm): The Hyper Speed filament line is comprised of the most commonly used filaments, such as PLA and ABS. These filaments are designed to withstand the higher speed and still maintain high accuracy.
Please note that for Hyper Speed to function correctly, the Hyper Speed Hot Ends 0.4mm (Pro3 Series Only), the Hyper Speed Auto Calibrator (Pro3 Series Only), and the Hyper Speed Filaments must be installed on a Pro3 Series printer activated with Hyper Speed Mode. The absence of any of these components may result in printing failure.
Please note that one Hyper Speed Upgrade Kit can only be applied once to a single Pro3 Series 3D printer. If you wish to have the Hyper Speed Upgrade on multiple Pro3 Series 3D printers, please buy the corresponding number of Hyper Speed Upgrade Kits. | hobby |

The others are Yang and Chen. Each of these 3 styles is named from the family that has practiced, taught, and passed it on to later generations. Traditionally, the study and practice of the art has been “family property”. Family members devote their lives to teaching and practicing the art. They are also considered to be the ultimate authority on their style. “Tai Chi” is a contraction of the more traditional term “Tai Chi Chuan”. Chuan is a general term that can be translated as “martial discipline”, or “boxing”.
The slow motions one usually identifies as Tai Chi Chuan are known as “The Form” or “The Chuan”. This is a series of movements that may last from 10 minutes to 1/2 hour. The Form is very important and is the basis for training in Tai Chi Chuan. The form has aspects of health, martial arts and meditation. However it is still only a part of the complete training in the art. The martial aspect of The Form is not readily apparent to the uninitiated. A simple answer could be “You must be able to do it slow before you can expect to do it fast”, but there is much more to it than that. Besides the obvious martial benefits of balance, co-ordination, and looseness The Form also cultivates qualities like a relaxed focused mind and healthy resilient body. It trains the core motion and reactions of the practitioner, increasing the person’s martial potential. The Form also contains, in its movements, a myriad of martial applications and the elements of power generation. These are hidden from an untrained observer in much the same way that fine poetry will not be revealed to someone who has not learned the language yet. The Form is the basis of Tai Chi Chuan but “Push Hands” is considered the “gateway into martial arts”. There are also other martial exercises beyond Push Hands. The confusion about Tai chi Chuan being a martial art has probably arisen in part because many Tai Chi Chuan schools only practice The Form and exercises focused on health and meditation. This may be because the founder of the school has not learned the martial practices or that the students do not have the desire or have progressed far enough to learn them.
Two reasons. First, respect to the teacher and the art becomes, since the art is passed on and taught by family members, respect for the generations that have worked and refined, and passed the art on so that you can learn it. Second, that the lineage and teachers of a person is the best measure, short of actually working with them, of their proficiency in the art. This is because the art can not be learned from a book, it requires hands-on training. Books (e.g. the Tai Chi Chuan classics) can be used to help solidify and promote understanding (“sign-posts on the road”) but no more than that. Family members traditionally accord the greatest respect and are the ultimate authority on the art. This authority may seem arbitrary to western thinking but it is based on practical facts. Family members learned and practiced Tai Chi Chuan with the greatest masters alive – the older generations. They would start as young as 3 and practice full-time. Furthermore, advanced training and concepts where only available to family members or those very close to it (“disciples”). It is hard for an outside practitioner to achieve that kind of focus or to have that quality and diversity of teachers. | hobby |

Unfortunately, camping also takes a bit of planning. (Don’t we wish we could just show up!) If you’re new to camping and not sure where to start, this quick camping guide walks you through everything you need to do to have a relaxing, restorative outdoor break.
Book your campsite close to home
When it comes to choosing the perfect campsite, let’s start with a tip that’ll have you thanking yourself later: camp close to home. This way, you can easily get back if you forget something crucial or the weather takes a turn for the worse. Plus, exploring the hidden gems near your backyard might surprise you! Camping near home lets you create memories without too much fuss. Check out National Parks or KOA campgrounds near you.
Wherever you go, make sure you book your campsite in advance. They can go fast!
Get your gear
If you’ve never been camping before (or not since you went with your family as a kid), then you’re going to have to buy or rent some supplies.
Here’s a checklist of the basic camping gear we recommend for any beginner camper (or for a pro camper looking to refresh some worn-out pieces). If you’re an ID.me member, just click the links to get ID.me discounts or cash back!
If you’re going to be hiking, your backpack will be your most important piece of equipment. Choose something light, breathable, and durable that can carry plenty of water and supplies.
If you’re not sure you’ll love camping, then you may be able to rent a tent for this first trip. But if you’re committed, then investing in a good tent is essential. Choose something with plenty of space. If you’ll be camping during cooler months, make sure your tent is appropriate for the temperature.
- Dagger OSMO Tent: 2-Person 3-Season | Backcountry
Sleeping bags and pads
What’s the quickest way to ruin a camping trip? Get no sleep. If you want to have fun, make sure you have a warm, dry, cozy sleeping arrangement. That means a sleeping bag appropriate for the temperature where you’re camping, a well-insulated sleeping pad that protects you from the cold ground, a camping pillow, and anything else you need to wake up well-rested and ready to explore.
- Stoic Groundwork Single Sleeping Bag | Backcountry
- Stoic Double Cloud Camp Bed | Backcountry
- ALPS Mountaineering Camp Pillow | Backcountry
If you’re backpacking, you can’t take a cooler, unfortunately. Stock up on dry food like trail mix, oatmeal, and dehydrated veggies! But if you’re camping near your car or RV, then you can bring along some fresh fruit and milk. Get a nice big cooler (bigger than the one you use for a quick picnic) so you can store all the food you need and plenty of ice.
Nice big water bottles are essential for camping. If you’ll be doing lots of hiking, consider getting a water bladder that you can drink from hands-free.
Shop travel mugs
You’ll get sick of GORP pretty fast, so make sure to get a camping stove to make some filling dinners (you’ll be hungry!) and hot coffee. Don’t count on making everything over a fire, because lots of campsites ban fires during the hot months. (Always check before lighting one!)
Pots, pans, spatulas, forks, knives, spoons… You’ll need all of it. Choose lightweight cookware and utensils that won’t take up too much space. Kits that nest together are a great option.
Chairs are optional, but they can make your camping trip much more comfortable. If you’re backpacking and can’t carry a chair, consider a mat that will insulate you from the ground when you sit.
- Trailhead Camp Chair | YETI
It’s smart to bring flashlights, but don’t stop there. Headlamps are great to free up your hands, and lanterns make it much more pleasant to sit outside as it gets dark. Don’t forget to bring extra batteries or a portable charger.
Hiking Shoes or Boots
If you’ll be doing lots of hiking, sturdy and comfortable boots are a must. Sore feet and blisters will ruin your trip just as quickly as a bad night’s sleep. If you buy new boots, make sure to wear them a bit first in case they need some breaking in.
- Men’s Newton Ridge™ Plus II Waterproof Hiking Boot | Columbia Sportswear
- Women’s Newton Ridge™ Plus Waterproof Hiking Boot | Columbia Sportswear
Clothes for rain and cold
Come prepared for any weather you might encounter. Even if it’s pretty warm in your area, it will be colder after dark. Bring warm layers and reliable rain gear.
- Crew Neck Sunshirt | YETI
- Men’s PFG Zero Rules™ Ice Hoodie | Columbia Sportswear
- Women’s Arcadia™ II Rain Jacket | Columbia Sportswear
Sunscreen and bug repellant
When you’re packing your usual toiletries, make sure to bring these along too!
Plan your trip
Some of us are natural-born adventurers who love to go with the flow – and that works! Embracing spontaneity can lead to unexpected surprises, and there’s nothing wrong with planning to spend your camping trip just kicking back by the lake.
However, a little bit of preparation can go a long way in ensuring you have a fantastic time. Consider looking up some hiking trails in the area ahead of time or researching outdoor sports you might want to try. Who knows, you might find a breathtaking summit or discover your inner rock-climbing superhero! Don’t forget to pack some games and books for rainy days. They can transform a dreary afternoon into a cozy, laughter-filled gathering.
Camping Tips from Reddit
Experienced campers have offered awesome tips on multiple Reddit threads to help you make the most of your newbie camping experience. We’ve curated some of the best for you!
- Consider purchasing wood closer to your camping location to prevent the spread of pests and insects. Transporting wood can also be illegal in some places.
- Some effective fire starters include cotton balls wiped in petroleum jelly or dryer lint. Remember to start with small kindling and gradually increase the size of the fuel, ensuring the fire gets plenty of oxygen.
- Invest in a good tarp and learn how to pitch it for protection from the elements. Insulate the ground underneath your sleeping bag. Sleeping pads are not just for comfort but also for thermal insulation.
- Bring essentials like towels (preferably microfiber), duct tape, a tarp or two, soap, and hand sanitizer. These can prove extremely useful.
- Be prepared for water-related situations, whether during hiking, at night, or while you’re sleeping. Cold nights and unexpected rain can pose challenges.
- Avoid bringing food or smelly items into the tent to prevent attracting wildlife like raccoons or bears. Lock your cooler in the car to keep it safe from animals.
- Consider a minimalist style of camping, even if you’re car camping, to avoid carrying too much unnecessary equipment.
- Look at State and National Parks for your camping excursion. They’re usually affordable and tended by park rangers who may be able to help if you run into trouble. (Just be warned that these sites can book many months in advance.)
- Learn camping tips from the experts – REI! Videos like How to Build a Fire will help you navigate your first camping experience like a pro.
Enjoy Your Summer Camping!
Pack up your gear, get out there, and enjoy yourself! Organizing a camping trip can be stressful, especially if you’re a beginner or you’re bringing along kids or pets. But remember that the point of all this prep and planning is to have a wonderful time out in nature (which is proven to reduce stress!) If you’ve followed this guide, you have everything you need and a beautiful campsite booked close to home. Drink in that fresh air and have a wonderful time! | hobby |
https://www.witchbody.com/tarot-readings/ | 2019-10-21T17:21:52 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570987781397.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20191021171509-20191021195009-00475.warc.gz | 0.944887 | 2,097 | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2019-43__0__69169286 | en | I bring 20 years of experience and an authentic, approachable attitude to the tarot. My readings find their roots in solidifying the relationship between you, the cards, and spirit. I act as a communication channel to notice and express energies manifesting in your life, and what you can do about it all to be your happiest.
Why choose me as your tarot reader?
I have always been a witch, and I grew up in a Spiritualist home. I went to my first table-tipping and facilitated energy healing sessions before I hit puberty. I’ve been reading cards for nearly 20 years. My experience with magical and divination practice is infused with constant and diverse spirit listening. My mediumship primarily manifests in clairsentience (clear feeling) and claircognizance (clear knowing), with some clairaudience (clear hearing): all of this means I feel my mediumship in my body, primarily through physical sensation on my skin and in my muscles. My card reading always starts from this intuitive place, not from the dozens of tarot books I’ve read over the years (though those certainly haven’t hurt). My readings find their roots in solidifying the relationship between querent (that’s you!), cards, spirit, and myself as a communication channel to notice and express energies manifesting in your life, and what you can do about it all to be your happiest self.
I really believe that every tarot reader has a different perspective on reading the cards, and that all of these methods are valid. What matters is finding the right reader for you at a certain point in time. I may be the perfect reader for you this week! Maybe next year someone else’s vibes may mesh with your wavelength a little more. Who knows, maybe we’ll just get each other. It’s all good. I don’t pretend to have a monopoly on understanding the One Way of the tarot. Follow your intuition. There is some spectacular magic that can happen when you follow your bliss and your gut and find a reader who connects with your spirits and your energies and your concerns at just the right time. Tarot reading is, for me, a truly intuitive and collaborative experience. I love flowing with the different energies that clients bring to a reading. I always hope to facilitate strong connection, breakthrough, and clarity.
Sliding scale rates
In the interest of making healing and spiritual clarity through tarot more financially accessible, I am offering tarot readings on a sliding scale on a selective basis. If this is an option you feel you require at this point in time, please contact me via email and we can discuss how I can best support making this service accessible for you.
Time based readings
Instead of arranging my prices based on how many cards we draw together or what spread we use, I arrange my pricing based on how much time we spend together. This leaves space for the reading to really open up and meet your needs – which may change, as our session moves along! What starts off as a three-card reading, looking at one general question, can get more complicated and nuanced depending what cards emerge and what further questions those cards stir up in you. Based on what cards we draw and how they relate to your inquiry, you may wish to shift focus within the reading: we can either draw more cards for clarity, or spend a lot of time unpacking just one. More cards doesn’t always mean more useful information.
60 minute readings
Usually starts with a 3-card reading to set the tone, moving into expansion with an intuitive spread that is responsive to your situation(s)
In-depth exploration of one or two general areas of your life
In-depth exploration of one specific nitty-gritty question
Looking at the pros and cons of responding two different ways to one situation (i.e., choosing one job over another, attending a festival or not)
90-120 minute readings
Usually starts with a general 3-card reading or customized-to-you tarot spread; expansion into multi-card reading as we fine-tune your concerns
General exploration of 2-3 general areas of your life
Very in-depth exploration of one area of concern, both general and specific (i.e., love life in general as well as getting down and dirty into the nitty-gritty details; or: health in general and delving into different modalities of self-care and community-care)
Looking at the pros and cons of many different options (i.e., choosing between different schools, programs of study, jobs, or new cities to live in)
How to book a session
I offer sessions in person in Toronto. We can have a session at a cafe, over a drink, or somewhere more private (my place or yours)! I know everyone has a different type of space that helps them feel more comfortable. Or, if mobility or distance is an issue, I’m happy to Skype, and regularly work with clients all over the world (including India, Australia, USA, UK)!
If you’re interested in booking, please browse over to my Online Appointment Booking System!
Choosing your deck
I am currently doing readings with three tarot decks (all illustrated by women), though I live with many more. These decks are the Rider-Waite-Smith, a classic and one of my favourite decks of all time due to how iconic and communicative the illustrations are; Thea’s Tarot, a 70s queer deck illustrated in black and white paper cuts by Ruth West; and The Wild Unknown by Kim Krans, which has simple, sketchy, animal and plant-centric imagery. You can see the three decks on this images on this page. They each have different personalities and imagery, and will result in different energy and different readings. Please choose the deck that you feel drawn to the most! The RWS deck is more traditional in its imagery, while Thea’s Tarot has a more obviously dykey, non-binary, gender-fluid vibe. Or, avoid human imagery altogether and lose yourself in The Wild Unknown’s stark, evocative images of nature. (Addendum: I recently added The Dark Days tarot to my roster, more on that soon!)
Do your part: how to prepare
Let me help you make the most out of our time together! Before our session, I ask you to please spend some time connecting to your heart and your body, so we can really work together on addressing your most pressing concerns. Calm your mind and body, if you can, and move forward with an open mind and heart, without blocking off any potential avenues for action and growth without fully exploring it and giving it a chance. Try to make a short-list of priority topics. A tarot reading can offer insight on any area of life, including classics like employment, love, and family; but we can also consult the tarot about community organizing, self-care, self-love, artistic process, and chosen family.
If you’re not sure how to formulate the best questions, I can help you during our session. However, in order to get the biggest bang for your buck, I’d suggest coming prepared with a few open-ended questions (i.e.: not of the yes-or-no variety). Some inspiration: What do I need to know about _ right now? What do I need to keep in mind when addressing _ this week/month/year? What type of attitude and perspective is necessary on my part to achieve a positive and healthy experience in relation to _?
I also ask that, together, we respect the cards, the spirits, and the process of mutual creation and discovery that happens within a tarot reading. The cards may not tell you what you want to hear, and I may not either! Tarot does not always pad our egos. Tarot can tell us where we fucked up, and what we’ve done well. I ask that you enter into this process with me with an open heart, an open mind, and an understanding that in my practice my methodology is one of intuition and of love and collaboration. Whatever I share with you from the cards and the spirits comes from a place of true belief that we can all be better, and that you have the tools you need to understand and change your situation with increased clarity. Cultivating reflexivity and self-understanding is an important part of transformation – and the tarot is really great at helping to push this process along!
Something else to consider: please take the reading process seriously! Please don’t waste my time, your time, or the time and effort of our spirits and guides. If you’re going to book a reading, please don’t disrespect the process or what emerges as we work together. Tarot does not always tell you exactly what you want to hear!
I am a queer identified non binary femme and have experience with trauma and different forms of disability and chronic illness. All of the work that I do, including my tarot readings, is invigorated by a fierce anti-oppressive ethic and I strive to fight sexism, racism, colonialism, misogyny, transphobia, homophobia, fatphobia, ableism, white supremacy, and cis supremacy in all that I do. Your readings with me are strictly confidential; I will not share your deets with anyone. I will never push one solution on you. I will never act as though I know more about your situation than you do. I will not act as though your future is set in stone. Instead, I will work with you to notice the energies (both flowing and blocked) in your life, as shown to us by the cards, and work with you to make a plan to face it all head-on and with renewed sense of self-knowledge, self-affirmation, self-love, and confidence. My practice is focused on noticing the magic within mundane life and sharing that magic with you. If you have any input to how I can make my readings more accessible, please let me know! | hobby |

My take on the book:
In his insightful book, The Blooming of a Lotus, Thich Nhat Hanh offers a comprehensive collection of guided meditations designed to cultivate mindfulness and compassion. These meditations are suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners, and they can be practiced at any time or place.
First published in 1993, this book has since been translated into many languages, making its wisdom accessible to a global audience. The book’s collection of meditations focuses on various aspects of mindfulness, including breathing, walking, eating, and working.
What sets this book apart is its simplicity and ease of use. Hanh’s clear and concise instructions make the meditations accessible to people of all levels of experience. In cases where specific meditation exercises require a certain level of prior experience, the book explicitly mentions this, allowing readers to navigate and choose accordingly. Additionally, the book provides valuable guidance on setting up a meditation practice and overcoming common challenges that may arise.
Drawing upon the principles of Theravada Buddhism, Hanh’s teachings transcend religious boundaries, offering insights and guidance relevant to people of all faiths and backgrounds. This timeless book can be revisited and reread over time, providing continuous opportunities for personal growth and transformation.
Beyond the guided meditations, the book includes practical tips on incorporating mindfulness into everyday life, empowering readers to cultivate a deeper sense of presence and tranquility in their daily routines.
Overall, The Blooming of a Lotus stands as a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their mindfulness practice and cultivate inner peace. Hanh’s wisdom and guidance provide a clear roadmap for personal transformation, offering a path to greater happiness and well-being. | hobby |

If you resolved to do something different – or be more active – in 2017, come out to Open Farm Day at Windrush Alpacas on Saturday, January 14, 10 am to 3 pm.
Visiting an alpaca farm is certainly a different kind of entertainment and exercise. A tour of our farm will keep you moving! You will learn why we chose to raise alpacas, how we care for them and what we do with their fleece in the spring. Our alpacas each have a name and very different personalities. A visit to the farm is a unique experience.
While here, stop in our Farm Store. We sell toasty, warm alpaca products. Warmer than wool and softer than cashmere, we have luxuriously soft alpaca scarves, gloves, mittens, and hats… and everyone’s favorite, socks and slippers.
Admission is free and refreshments will be served at the Farm Store. If it’s a little too cold, we’ll bring one of the alpacas inside too for you to visit with and feed.
Start your new year in a new way. And if you’ve been here before, come again! There is always something interesting to learn and see at Windrush Alpacas. Stop by anytime on Saturday, January 14 between 10 am and 3 pm! Be ready for plenty of picture taking too!

Recently I’ve been having some fun with chalkboard wedding invitations. They are arresting and can be extremely versatile – no wonder they’re popular. I created two wedding invitations where the only difference was the one image. What a difference that one change makes.
In the first invitation, I used Hungarian folk art embroidery – in fact, it’s a Transylvanian style. You can see some examples here. It looks like lace, yet it’s mostly crewel work – embroidery using wool. This tends to look more robust than silk embroidery, which helps give the invitation its rugged look. Interestingly, there’s a formal air to the design too – an unusual combination.
I also created a lacy backer.
We’ve ended up with a design that’s elegant, rugged and formal – in fact, it looks almost like it could be cloth, a very pleasing effect.
It’s very different from the other chalkboard wedding invitation design.
This wedding invitation is intensely romantic in an old fashioned way – Lily of the Valley was such a popular flower to depict love. At the same time, the chalk board gives it a fresh and modern feel, as does the splash of red adding color to the couple’s names. The Lily of the Valley also gives movement and a clean feel. This design is wonderfully romantic and traditional but with a twist. It’s just right for the contemporary traditionalist.
What’s a visual that captures heartbeat? Let’s make sure we use it in your graphic design. | hobby |

He said there was absolutely nothing wrong with the bike. Before I left the shop owner told me that there was one thing the bike did need. Inside I groaned, then he said: “It needs to be ridden.”
This morning I got up to go to work got in my car to leave and it wouldn’t start. Turn the key and all it did was click, click, click.
Battery, starter, alternator?
Got some one to give me a jump and it fired right up. Drove it to the auot parts store and after a load test it turned out the battery was bad.
So a battery and a new post clamp later the car was back up and running.
Why does my car have to be jealous of my bike. 🙂
Last year, about 14 months ago; I decided to get me motorcycle endorsement and I signed up for the class.
Having passed the class but not having a bike I bided my time and saved my pennies. 3 weeks ago I bought my first bike.
A Honda Rebel, a nice small bike with classic cruiser styling. The bike is a 2006 with very low mileage, engine roll bar, and saddle bags.
The best part is it fit right in my budget with a little left over.
Really I’ve wanted a bike since I was in my late teens early 20’s.
It was at that time I came across a book called Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. The book actually has very little to actually do with the mechanics of a motorcycle.
What the book IS about is how a motorcycle brought a father closer to his son; based on a motorcycle trip he and his young son Chris took from Minneapolis to San Francisco.
It also talks about taking the time to see things; how with a motorcycle you’re not confined to a box. It is about quality and not quantity that has become such a part of life still today.
You have the ability to really see things and not just see them but experience them. It is about seeing the details, the finer things. More than that it was also about self discovery.
It was at that time in my life that I had some access to a dirt bike. I rode when I could here and there and I loved it.
At that time it never came about that I was able to get a bike of my own and from there it was pushed to the back of my mind and for quite a while actually forgotten.
It was a couple of years ago just after I got my Kindle that I picked up a book by Neil Peart the drummer for Rush.
The name of the book: Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road; It is about how within the span of one year he lost his daughter to a car accident and his wife to cancer.
To say he was devastated would be putting it mildly. In the course of his grieving he decided to take a motorcycle trip. He started in Canada and ended in Mexico.
After reading this book the desire for a bike once again returned and this time I wasn’t going to say no to it.
Yesterday I took the bike out for my first real ride, after neighborhood riding the first few times to get the feel of it. There is a road that runs along the coast; still very unpopulated and very little traffic.
The road twists and turns through pine forests, coastal creeks, salt flats, and a bird sanctuary. I’ve driven that road a hundred times since I’ve lived her, but never have I experienced it the way I did yesterday.
It was a cool morning and not a cloud in the sky, the wind in my face as I rode made me feel alive, the colors of the trees and grass so vibrant.
I logged 30 miles on that ride and I am already looking forward to the next.
Will I ever make the kind of journey Robert Persig or Neil Peart did? More than likely not; I don’t have the kind of resources to travel like that but it sure would be an adventure if I could.
Will I manage to do it in my own sweet way? You bet your bottom dollar.
As may may have surmised from the title I am from Florida, the Gulf Coast to be exact. But to lay to rest any questions; I am not an Eagle.
So where does the Eagle come from you may ask, or not; but I will tell you anyway.
Where I live; being close to the Gulf of Mexico many years ago I took up the hobby of kayak fishing. I found it to not just be an excellent way to find fish but also a way to spend some quiet time out on the water.
There is a particular area that I go on a regular basis as it is close to home yet is a rather nice spot. During the cooler months I will be out on the water before dawn, my favorite time. The wind is generally calm, there are none of the daily boaters buzzing across the water yet, and watching the sunrise from out on the water can be simply amazing.
Along the shore there are a pair of nesting Eagles, (snowbirds if you will) for this is their winter home. Many a morning over the last 9 years of fishing that area the Eagles and I have shared the dawn. Me casting a line while they circle above looking for the first meal of the day with the coming dawn.
Over the years I’ve come to think of them as friends, their beauty as they float above scanning the water, the grace as they fold their wings and dive, then just as you think they are about to hit the water they turn and lift with a fish in their talons. One time they landed on shore just a few yards from where I floated in my tiny craft and I watched them as they ate their morning catch. Such power was just incredible.
Often I’ve wondered what it would be like to soar freely as they do, yet in my own way I suppose I do. | hobby |

I don’t actually bake that often anymore. I have found that I feel a lot better the less gluten/wheat I eat. And most of my tried and true recipes contain wheat flour. But recently I got a hankering for real, homemade biscuits for a Sunday morning brunch. And I am pleased to report that I tweaked an old favorite recipe and they turned out flaky with a nice texture on top. Although they won’t win any health awards, they definitely filled my craving for buttery biscuits, without the wheat!
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
1 ¾ cup Gluten-free flour blend (I used Namaste Foods Perfect Flour Blend)
1 tsp. salt
3 tsp. aluminum-free baking powder
6 Tbsp. chilled butter
Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut butter into dry mixture until crumbly.
¾ cup milk or unflavored non-dairy milk
Gently stir dough until all flour is combined. Turn dough onto a cutting board – you can spread some gluten-free flour blend onto board to reduce sticking. Using your hands or a rolling pin, roll or flatten ball of dough until it is about ¾ -1 inch thick. Using a round biscuit cutter, cut dough into biscuits and place on baking sheet. Continue to fold excess dough together and flatten again until you get as many biscuits as you can out of the ball of dough.
Bake until lightly browned, about 12-14 minutes.

COLOURED TEE EXPLANATION
WHITE: Men's Club Competition / YELLOW: Visitors / RED: Ladies / BLUE: Junior or beginner
Click on the numbers below to view pictures of each of the 18 holes
A classic dog leg hole to start, with the corner well protected by a large tree. For most players the best line is at or slightly right of the marker post although anything too far right may end up in the ditch that borders the fairway. Playing left of the post runs the risk of being blocked out by the trees. Club selection is all important for the approach shot as out of bounds awaits behind the green. Aim left of the flag to avoid the steep bank right of the green.
Pro’s Tip: Don’t go through this green as out of bounds waits.
For bigger hitters, a drive over or slightly right of the tree will find the down slope on the fairway and gain an all important extra few yards. For most, however, a tee shot aimed at the marker post will take the two grass bunkers out of play. A good second shot here will set up a chance to attack the flag but check your yardages to this deep green as there can be as much as two clubs difference between front and back pin positions.
Pro’s Tip: Bigger hitters can take on the fairway bunker, this considerably shortens the hole.
For bigger hitters, a drive over or slightly right of the tree will find the down slope on the fairway and gain an all important extra few yards. For most, however, a tee shot aimed at the marker post is the ideal play. A good second shot here will set up a chance to attack the flag but check your yardages to this deep green as there can be as much as two clubs difference between front and back pin positions.
Pro’s Tip: Your second shot will most likely be from a sloping lie so adjust your stance accordingly.
This 90 degree dog leg left demands a tee shot of around 200 yards aimed at the marker to set up a short approach into the green, although depending on the wind direction it can often play a lot longer off the tee. The green is defended by a narrow stream and two large trees making a clean strike essential into the up sloping green. Longer hitters may be brave (or perhaps foolish) enough to take the green on from the tee, even though it demands a shot played over two lines of trees (and the out of bounds) aimed at a green that cannot be seen from the tee. Some succeed, but many never see their ball again.
Pro’s Tip: It’s easy to over shoot this green, a lateral water hazard waits at the back.
Arguably the most daunting tee shot on the golf course. Picking the right line here is essential as the further left your aim, the longer the carry required to reach the fairway. Hitting the tee shot with a slight draw will follow the line of the fairway and shorten this long par 4, otherwise, best to play safe and don’t be tempted to take on too much of the tree line, as anything left or in the stream is OB. Your approach shot to a difficult green is likely to be played with the ball above your feet, so aiming at the right half of the green is advised as the ball will generally gather from there towards the centre. Depending where the hole is cut you may well still be left with a putt with a double break. This is stroke index 2 for a good reason!
Pro’s Tip: Confident long hitters can take on more of the corner than you think but you will need a 220 yard carry.
Often played into the prevailing wind, this hole tends to play longer than its yardage suggests and only an accurate shot will find the green. Anything short will be caught by the bunkers guarding the front approaches.
Pro’s Tip: Take time out and enjoy the magnificent views.
An inviting tee shot to a broad, upward sloping fairway leaving a mid to short iron approach to the green. Club selection for your approach is critical here: Pitch it on the bank short of the green and the ball may well stop short on the up slope; hit it long and you are likely to be faced with a tricky downhill put on this steeply sloping green. Get it just right, and you’ll be rewarded with an uphill putt and a good chance of making birdie.
Pro’s Tip: Hit your approach big and you will need a putting touch better than Tiger Woods.
On this shortish par 5 alongside the reservoir a confident drive aimed at the white marker post is best as there is out of bounds both left and right on this hole. Stay well to the left with your second to set up the best approach to the green. This will open up the green allowing an attacking approach shot and also takes the bunkers hiding on the right out of play – the undulating green still presents a challenge
Pro’s Tip: This green falls away to the back with a large step so you need to think hard about your approach.
Beware of over-hitting this short par 3, the easiest hole on the course. Sand traps await should you under estimate the distance. Bunkers short and right await wayward shots.
Pro’s Tip: Stroke 18 and the number of shots dropped on this hole is amazing, anywhere on the green will do.
Another daunting tee shot to begin the back nine! The ideal target line is the furthest Poplar Tree on the right hand side of the fairway. Any tee shot straying to the right may be fortunate enough to end up on the adjacent fairway but is just as likely to get snagged up in the trees. The green slopes gently away from the fairway and is protected by a large bunker short right. Keep it straight and this hole offers a good birdie opportunity
Pro’s Tip: A thin row of trees to the right of the fairway will punish a wayward tee shot and will have you trying to manufacture shots to the green.
A good drive to the middle of the fairway is required here if you want to have any chance of attacking this green in two as it is the approach shot that defines this hole. With a three tiered green; bunkers front left, and back right; trees on both sides and a large pond thrown in for good measure it has everything you could possibly want. Birdies here are few and far between, although as many pars are achieved by laying up short of the water and attacking the flag with a short iron as they are by taking on the green after a poor tee shot.
Pro’s Tip: In my opinion this is one of the best holes in Derbyshire. Enjoy.
On this modest par 5 the ideal tee-shot line is centre fairway and aiming at the conifer hedge is usually a good reference point. The second shot here is all about position. A ditch cuts across the fairway about 100 yards short of the green and is marked by a number of trees including on centre fairway. Choose your club carefully to avoid over running into the ditch and leave yourself the chance to take on the flag with a short to mid iron. Big hitters may go for the green, or at least try to clear the ditch with their second, but the more cautious may prefer to lay-up and go for a safe par.
Pro’s Tip: Be careful not to be blocked out by the tree when laying up short of the fairway ditch.
With the green not visible from the tee this hole depends on good club selection and commitment. Any shot falling slightly short will tend to helped on by a kick forwards and to the left, but anything too long will run away down the steep banking behind the green. Bunkers short right, and left of the green are similarly invisible from the tee, so beware!
Pro’s Tip: There is more room on the right than you think.
The signature hole of Chapel’s picturesque course offers either heaven or hell. Don’t let the yardage fool you here – it may not be long, but that doesn’t make it simple! The green is defended by a large duck pond which runs all the way up to the front edge of the putting surface. Play your tee shot for position, aiming at the red marker post which stands out behind the green. A well struck approach here can set up a good birdie opportunity but anything short will have you reaching into your bag for another ball!
Pro’s Tip: For the longer hitter try to get as close to the pond as you can. The bank up to the pond should save you if you flush one.
This narrow par 3 plays its part in testing your skill. Straight line accuracy, even if a little short on approach, offers you the chance to keep par.
Pro’s Tip: The green slopes right to left so aim towards the right hand side of the green.
Gently curving to the left, and uphill all the way this hole tends to play even longer than its yardage. A good drive to the middle or right of the fairway will open up the views of the green. Any approach shot played from distance will tend to gather from the left as it runs onto the green, however there is also a hidden bunker back left if you over do it! One of the most testing greens on the course, and rarely a straight putt to close out a well deserved par.
Pro’s Tip: This hole is the first of one of the most demanding finishes in Derbyshire. A drive onto the fairway is essential.
Down the gently sloping hill, keep the drive centre fairway to give yourself a great chance of attacking the green in two. Anything left or right tends to rule out this option, and too far right will find the out of bounds. This green slopes away from the approach shot and hides many interesting breaks. Skilled players will still find this well guarded hole quite testing.
Pro’s Tip: Land your approach a little short as your shot will always run on more than you think.
The final hole, and a wonderful example of a classic par 5. . A well placed tee shot to the central fairway sets up a straight forward second between the trees to the end of the fairway. Take care as you play your approach shot between the trees, over the stream, avoiding the inconspicuous deep bunker left, onto the rambling final green. As you would expect, many interesting, challenging breaks are well hidden, force you to concentrate right to the very end.
Pro’s Tip: Don’t make the mistake of trying to lay up to close to the stream as you will find yourself playing into the green from a steep downhill lie.
