COUNTY and district councillor for Axminster, Cllr Ian Hall, has spoken out on his support for the recently agreed Axminster masterplan.
Cllr Hall says he “makes no apology” for speaking out on what he believes to be a “once in a lifetime opportunity” for the town.
His latest comments follow a decision by East Devon District Council’s strategic planning committee to support the masterplan, which sets out how the town should be developed.
Cllr Hall said: “The world around us is changing and we need to evolve as well if we are to avoid our town stagnating or dying.
“We all know about the impact of globalisation and technology on traditional businesses like carpet-making. We must think strategically and become more resilient.
“We need to promote a sustainable infrastructure for education, employment and good health, as well as a vibrant town centre, through a focus on managed regeneration.
“We want to ensure a viable sixth form at Axminster Academy, with education running from pre-school age right through to preparing for work, college or university.
“The town centre must be free of heavy vehicles and congestion, attracting people in and inviting investment from retail and food outlets trading during the day and into the evenings.
“We have to look to the future – and that means embracing ideas that can bring new blood and fresh ideas to our town.
“We welcome those from elsewhere who have been attracted to Axminster and have become our neighbours. They make a rich contribution to the community and its cultural, civic and business life and they will continue to do so.
Cllr Hall insisted he made no apology for standing up for Axminster and for what he believes is beat for the town that he loves and where he lives.
He added: “I am an Axminster patriot. I entered local politics because I want to make a difference. I am not in it for personal gain or personal glory. I am a working man and I joined the district and county councils so I can help deliver good things and stand up against bad things. That is why I have been active in the County Lines battle against drug dealers moving into our area from the big cities.
“I believe that we all need to stand up for our town. If I can provide some leadership in that cause by putting my head above the parapet, then I will sleep soundly at night. By acting that way, I understand the risks.
He said he encouraged people to attend the consultation events, which he also attended in person, so that everyone had an equal chance to see the plans and influence the outcome.
Cllr Hall said: “I went along myself to talk to people, so I could hear all sides of the argument. It was only after listening to the varying points of view that I came to the conclusion that I should support the masterplan document and speak out in its favour.
Members of the East Devon Strategic Planning Committee resolved to endorse a masterplan for the Axminster urban extension, subject to minor changes.
The committee debated the item for more than two hours at a meeting last week and heard from nine concerned residents, as well as a representative of Persimmon Homes who spoke in support of the masterplan.
Concerns express by residents included issues of whether the proposed additional 200 homes, which are more than those allocated in the local plan, were needed, whether they would meet the needs of local people, whether the masterplan would genuinely address traffic problems in the town and if it was worth the environmental cost.
The committee also heard from Axminster Town ward member, Cllr Andrew Moulding, who expressed his support for the masterplan, which he said was vital in securing the delivery of the relief road.
Planning officers assured members that the wider issues associated wit traffic at Weycroft bridge to the north of the proposed relief road and the junction with the A35 to the south of the relief road were being looked at with Devon County Council as the highway authority.
Members were also assured that it is the council’s intention to deliver the relief road in the early stages of development to help alleviate the traffic and pollution issues in the town, prior to the majority of the new homes being built.
The masterplan has been prepared following consultation events and provides a template for development of the area to include a mixture of housing, employment and community uses as well as a range of public open spaces and the proposed north/south relief road.
It aims to determine a distribution of uses across the site, the route of the relief road and to provide design guidance for developers to follow when submitting planning applications on the site.
The masterplan will now form a key document in helping the council to consider planning applications for the site.
Cllr Ian Hall, East Devon District Council’s Axminster Rural ward member, said: “I am glad that residents had an opportunity to express their concerns to the committee and hopefully through the debate it was clear that members understood the issues being raised and accepted that there is still a lot more work to be done.

If you have two arrays of values and you want to know which values are common to both then you are after the intersection of the two sets. You may have seen this written as A ∩ B.
When we enable passArrayByReference then run the exact same code works slightly differently.
This could easily be an unexpected side effect, so it’s a good idea to protect ourselves from this. Yet again we can use a java method to reduce the amount of code required to copy the array – clone().
So now we have the following code which does not mutate the original array.
Now we can find the intersection of multiple arrays. However, I’m not that fond of having to pass in an array of arrays. It doesn’t make the code very easy to read. Could we do better?
Being able to call the intersection function with 2 or more arguments would be quite nice.
You may or maynot like this approach, but I think it makes the code readable – when I see intersection(set1, set2, set3) I know exactly what is happening.

The discourse on governance being pushed mainly by International Financial Institutions (IFIs) has one major shortcoming – it is apolitical in nature. The cherished goals of rule of law, transparency, accountability, effectiveness of the state, and the ability of the state to deliver social services are often not achieved according to the de-jure criteria as they are negotiated politically through the citizens’ interaction with the state.
The political economy of governance is about patron-client relationships and the politics of patronage. Any program on governance needs to take into account the ground realities of real politik in developing countries.
The World Bank came out with Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) in 2010, which include ‘voice and accountability’, ‘political stability’, ‘government effectiveness’, ‘regulatory quality’, ‘rule of law’, and ‘control of corruption’. The Bank has been gathering this data from more than 200 countries since 1996.
The World Bank in its 2002 report defines governance as “rules, enforcement mechanisms and organizations”. A decade earlier in 1992, the Bank defined it as “the manner in which power is exercised in the management of a country’s economic and social resources for development”. Governance is the political economy of the state’s interactions with the citizens.
The six indicators to measure governance in the Bank’s WGI paper are based on respondents’ perceptions. Voice and accountability deals with the holding of free and fair elections, citizen participation and ensuring various kinds of freedoms such as that of expression and association. It also includes free media. Political stability and absence of terrorism deals with the continuity of the tenure of government.
Government effectiveness focuses on the state’s ability to deliver services. It looks into the standards of the bureaucracy and the degree of autonomy of the civil service from political interference, and ability of the government to deliver essential public services to citizens with credibility and commitment.
Regulatory quality deals with the World Bank’s notions of making nation-states regulate and monitor the private sector. The purpose is that the government should act as a watchdog rather than pushing development through planned state intervention.
Rule of law in the institutional economics framework deals with property rights and the ability of the state to enforce contracts. Control of corruption looks into the misuse of public office for private gains and the monopolization of state resources by powerful interest groups and factions. It also includes “both petty and grand forms of corruption”.
IFIs push the ‘good governance’ reforms model that is inspired by neo-Weberian thinking. They focus on the implementation of rule of law, sanctity of contract, a level playing field and rule-based governance. The theoretical roots of such rule-based governance go back to ‘Weberian’ analysis. Weber’s writings have been appropriated (even wrongly) to justify the reforms package that is not compatible with the structural features of the developing countries like Pakistan. Therefore, there is a need to present a more nuanced political economy structural analysis.
Acemoglu and Robinson in their much acclaimed book ‘Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty’ (2012) present a limited view of history. Acemoglu and Robinson’s book differentiates between inclusive and extractive political and economic institutions. It attempts to explain why inclusive institutions emerged in some parts of the world and not others. Inclusive pluralistic political institutions are critical in engendering inclusive economic institutions based on competition and innovation. They encourage investment due to property rights being well-defined and enforced.
In order to get nations out of poverty, and for them to achieve a long-term growth trajectory, inclusive economic and political institutions are critical. They provide a level playing field, sanctity of contract, rule of law, political participation, secure property rights and no entry barriers. The features of the inclusive political institutions described by Acemoglu and Robinson have some ‘Weberian’ characteristics such as rule of law, sanctity of contract, and a level playing field.
In contrast, extractive institutions are absolutist. In extractive institutions, a tiny elite concentrates power in its hands and enjoys un-fettered power with weak constraints. Countries with extractive institutions lack effective checks and balances. Drawing from a large body of historical data going back as far as the neolithic revolution, Acemoglu and Robinson explain the history of hundreds of years through a rather simple theory.
As political economy literature illustrates in detail, broad political participation and democracy might not always lead to more accountability, transparency and checks and balances. The way rents are generated in developing countries by mobilizing patron-client relationships (who mobilize political activities and earn economic payoffs) and through politics of patronage point to a weakness in Acemoglu and Robinson’s analysis.
Structural analysis largely inspired by Marxist political economy focuses on the underlying distribution of power in developing countries by emphasizing its compatibility with institutional capabilities in these countries. Structural analysis explains the reasons behind the generation of rents. It also explains why some forms of rents are essential to maintain political stability. Rents are the necessary costs that have to be paid to balance the needs of political stability and economic development, something the mainstream pro-market analysis fails to take into account. The structural analysis forewarns against over-simplification of a complex process of transition to good governance-oriented model of development.
Therefore, it is important that any prescriptions for good governance for Pakistan coming from IFIs are rigorously examined by critical minds while keeping in mind the structural underlying factors that explain the complex processes involved in any meaningful transition; they should not be missed out in an exercise of over-simplification.

Takeaway: Acid rain. Acid fast. Acid test. Okay, so what exactly is an acid?
Acid rain. Acid fast. Acid test. Okay, so what exactly is an acid?
In the simplest sense, an acid is a substance that ionizes to generate hydronium ions (H+ cations) when dissolved in water. This is known as the Arrhenius definition. It’s not scientifically very useful, but for practical understanding it is often enough.
An acid can also be understood as a substance that donates a proton (an H+ ion). That is part of the Brønsted-Lowry definition.
Acids exist in a balance of some kind with their chemically opposite entities, the bases. Bases generate OH– anions readily when dissolved in water.
It is no accident that when H+ ions meet OH– ions, they react to form H2O—water.
The acidity of a solution is described by its pH value. pH is a measure of the H+ and OH- concentrations in a solution.
When the number of H+ ions equals the number of OH– ions, water is formed, and there are few free H+ In this case the solution is neutral which is 7 on the pH scale. Solutions with pH values less than 7 are acidic.
A weak acid does not release all of its protons when dissolved. A strong acid ionizes completely to release all of its protons into solution.
The solubilities of many nutrient elements are pH sensitive, with acidic conditions required for good availability. This is why grow system pH values should be monitored and maintained in the 5.5-6 range for most applications.
What could be stronger than an acid? A superacid. Superacids have acidity greater than 100 per cent sulfuric acid and can be trillions of times stronger. The pH scale doesn’t properly work to describe a superacid.

Winston: The Public Transportation Authority (PTA) cannot fulfill its mandate to operate without a budget deficit unless it eliminates service during late-night periods of low ridership. Since the fares collected during these periods are less than the cost of providing the service, these cuts would reduce the deficit and should be made. Transit law prohibits unauthorized fare increases, and fare-increase authorization would take two years.
Ping: Such service cuts might cost the PTA more in lost fares than they would save in costs, for the PTA would lose those riders who leave home during the day but must return late at night. Thus the PTA would lose two fares while realizing cost savings for only one leg of such trips.
IMO B seems the most logical because winston failed to look at how the full use of the transportation system, arrival and departure.
Winston: The Public Transportation Authority (PTA) has to eliminate service during late-night periods of low ridership. Fares collected during these periods are less than the cost of providing the service.
Ping:PTA would lose those riders who leave home during the day but must return late at night.
Ping goes against Winston's claim, doesn't give any support to it.
Wilson - Cut the night buses.
Ping - If we cut night bus, we lose day customer who return back. But wait, does he mean that, if there is no night bus, people will not be able to go to their destination (say,work/home whatever). Is there no other bus/transport service available. Like a train or something.
A - Redefines what? - Eliminated.
B - Keep this one.
C - premise that could have been used as part to support W's conclusion. No. P doesn't support W's conclusion at all. Eliminated.
D - Statistics - Nope. More persuasive than W's - No comparison is made. Eliminated.
E - Proposes a solution - No.
All except B are wrong. But how to justify answer choice B. Where is PING questioning Winstons proposal. What is meant by questioning in CR context?

The capital and largest city of the Czech Republic, Prague is home to great beer, a famous bridge and an incredible range of architecture styles. Millions of visitors each year arrive in this city to discover just how beautiful (and crowded) it is.
Best explored on foot with a good pair of shoes, walking through the maze of cobblestone lanes you will discover hidden courtyards, secret gardens, ancient chapels, quaint cafes and small bars that time forgot.
You could literally spend days, weeks or even months, falling in love with and discovering the multitude of things to do in Prague. My list below just scratches the surface of this magical city that beckons you to get out and discover it.
Stretching across the Vltava River, the iconic Charles Bridge connects the Old Town with Mala Strana. The bridge was commissioned in 1347 by King Charles IV replacing an earlier bridge which was destroyed by floods. Lining the bridge you will see 30 stone baroque statues of saints and various other significant persons from history. A visit to the Bridge between the hours of 10:00 – 22:00 will find you surrounded by what feels like the entire population of Europe, vendors selling souvenirs and painters, sketch artists and street performers trying to catch your attention. Try visiting outside of these hours to avoid the crowds. Just after sunrise is particularly nice because the city has a magical feel about it in the misty morning light.
Prague Castle is a sprawling complex of buildings perched on a hill overlooking the city. The castle originated from the 9th century and has been developed over the centuries. There is a lot to see within the castle so I would suggest trying to allow half to a full day to see everything properly. Through the main gates and onto the first courtyard you will find The Prague Castle Picture Gallery, a collection of paintings from Emperor Rudolph II collection including a few Rubens; and the Treasury of St Vitus Cathedral which displays items from the Cathedrals beginnings up to the middle ages. In the next courtyard be prepared for your jaw to drop. Right before you will be St Vitus Cathedral. In my opinion, one of the most amazing Cathedrals in the world (more on that later). To the left is the Powder Tower and Castle Guard collection which are museums but they also offer a good view of the spires of St Vitus without having the strain you neck. To the right is the entrance to the Old Royal Palace featuring Vladislav Hall where the most important state events have occurred. Continue around the back of St Vitus to visit The Story of Prague Exhibition and the lovely little Basilica of St George. Heading down hill now through a cobblestone lane, you can stop by the St Wenceslas Vineyard, the oldest vineyard in the Czech Republic and further down to the lovely Golden Lane where Franz Kafka spent some time in No. 22. You can also watch the changing of the guard on the hour outside the castle’s main entrance or the daily ceremony in the First Courtyard at noon, which includes a fanfare and flag ceremony.
Cost: All attractions Adults CZK 350, Concession/Child CZK 175 | Tickets can also be purchased for individual attractions as lesser cost.
The very pretty Old Town Square of Prague is located roughly in the centre of the Old Town. Looking around the square you will see all of the architectural styles that Prague is famous for, Baroque, Gothic and Renaissance. The Gothic towers of the Tyn Chruch are what you will probably notice first. The current structure, founded in the 14th century, rises above the square with its towers of 80 metres tall. The interior is just as lovely and there is a decent gallery of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque art works on display. The other main attraction of the square is the Astronomical Clock on the façade of the Old Town Hall. On the hour every day, large crowds form to see statues of the apostles make a mechanical procession through the windows of the clock.
St Vitus Cathedral is, in my opinion, one of the most amazing Cathedrals in the world. The Cathedral which is visible from most of the Old Town of Prague, is the final resting place of Bohemian Kings, home to priceless works of art, St Wenceslas Chapel and Crypt and the Bohemian Crown Jewels. The current Cathedral is the third religious building on this site with the one you see today founded in 1344 and has had various additions and restorations since. Take a walk around the outside of the Cathedral which is impossible to photograph in its entirety due to its positioning in the Castle. Make sure you also venture inside to see the spectacular glass windows, especially the Rose Window, designed by Frantisek Kysela in 1925.
Cost: Free to enter but some parts are restricted to Prague Castle ticket holders only. Refer above for prices.
A great way to introduce yourself to any walkable city is to take a walking tour. Sandemans New Europe offer tours run by knowledgeable and entertaining guides who work only for tips, basically the tour is free. If you take the tour and enjoy it, you’re free to give the guide as little or as much as you think the tour was worth. If the tour wasn’t great you can just walk away at the end with no one chasing you down for payment. This gives the guide incentive to try really hard to educate and entertain you. During the tour you will be taken to a lot of the main sights in Prague including the Old New Synagogue, St Nicolas Church and Wenceslas Square. The guide will also take you to top vantage points to view Prague Castle and Charles Bridge away from the crowds.
Address: All tours depart from the Old Town Square.
Hours: Daily at 10:30 and 13:45 and run for up to three hours.
While the Old Town Square is the heart of the Old Town, Wenceslas Square is the heart of the New Town. Surrounded by retail stores, banks, hotels, bars, clubs and restaurants, it’s a bustling square day and night. The 750 by 60 metre square is more of a boulevard which was original laid out over 650 years ago as the city’s horse market. Holding up to 400,000 people, the square has seen many parades, political speeches and protests over its lifetime. There are a few monuments and statues worth noting in the square including the statue of St Wenceslas, the former King, on his horse. In front of the statue is a small memorial to the people killed during the communist era consisting on two plaques.
The Old New Synagogue is located in the district of Josefov, the Jewish Quarter of Prague and is the oldest active Synagogue in Europe. This Gothic style building was completed in 1270 and has managed to remain unscathed through attacks on the Jewish community, fires and a major redevelopment of the area. Legend has it that angels brought stones from King Solomon’s Temple to construct the Synagogue and those same angels still watch over it keeping it safe.
The 65 metre high Powder Tower is the gateway to the Medieval Royal Route that leads through the Old Town, over Charles Bridge and up to Prague Castle. Until 1836 this route was used by the Bohemian Monarchs on their way to coronation at St Vitus in Prague Castle. The tower was built in 1475 on the site of the Mountain Tower, one of the original 13 city gates of Prague. It gets its name the ‘Powder’ Tower from the 17th century when it was used to store gun powder.
It is said that St Nicholas Cathedral is the most impressive example of ‘Prague Barque’ architecture in Prague. It was built between 1704 and 1755 on the site of a former Gothic church from the 13th century which was also dedicated to St Nicholas. The churches greatest feature is its 70 metre dome which is impressive to see from both the inside and out. Step inside to see some incredible frescoes, an abundance of statues, and the 4,000 pipe organ that was once played by Mozart in 1787. At selected times throughout the year you can see a concert inside the church featuring works by Mozart.
For the best views looking out over the city of a hundred spires, head up to Petrin Hill and it’s observation tower. You can reach the top of the hill on foot in around 30 minutes with the climb being steep but scenic. Alternatively you can take a taxi or ride the funicular railway. The hill is 318 metres tall, and add to that the 60 metre tower, you are pretty much guaranteed a spectacular view or the city and, on a clear day, the mountains off in the distance. There are 299 steps to climb the tower or you can take the lift at an extra charge.
Address: Funicular railway departs Mala Strana from Ujezd tram stop.
What do you most want to do in Prague?
Wow! Prague looks absolutely STUNNING! I love old European cathedrals and these look great.
It totally is stunning Cory. One of the most magical cities in the world.
Great Suggestions! Looks like I will need a week at least to take in all of these sites! I love the old Europe magical feeling from the architecture and cobblestone streets.
Thanks JJ. I hope you enjoy Prague.
Thanks Paul! If you love old architecture then Prague is a must see.
Great detailed info Jen. I’ve only had an 8 hour layover in Prague in the dead of winter but that brief taste was enough to tell me I want to go back. I hope to be in Eastern Europe this fall so this guide will really come in handy.
Glad you will find it helpful Sarah. I’d love to go back to Prague in winter to see it all dusted with snow.
Great list! I visited most of these places when I was in Prague except for much of the New Town and the observation tower. With as much as I love climbing towers, I’m sad I missed that one. I guess it’s just another excuse to go back. Thanks for the tips!
Looks beautiful! Prague is high on my list of cities to visit, the problem is always too many places and not enough time! This is a great list.
I totally agree Tamara. It’s getting harder and harder to choose places to go with my list growing so fast. Hope you do enjoy Prague when you eventually get there.
Wow, what beautiful architecture! I’ve wanted to come to Prague for a long time but have never managed to get myself all the way over to Europe. I’d heard a lot about Prague but never really knew specifically what there was to see, so this post was a great help!
Oh Karyn you must visit Prague when you eventually get to Europe. It’s probably on of my top 5 places in the world!
Great suggestions! There’s some beautiful architecture in Prague! Thanks for sharing!

If you’re an Original Medicare beneficiary in Washington, you may be wondering how to lower your out-of-pocket costs. After all, Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) doesn’t cover everything; you’ll typically still have cost sharing and certain gaps in your coverage. If you have a health condition that requires ongoing treatment or frequent doctor visits, your Medicare Part A and Part B copayments, coinsurance, and deductible costs can quickly add up. In addition, because Original Medicare doesn’t have a maximum spending limit, there’s no cap on how high your health-care costs could get in a given year.
Thankfully, Medicare Supplement plans in Washington may help cover some of the costs not paid for by Original Medicare. Also referred to as Medigap, Medicare Supplement insurance is designed to work in combination with Medicare Part A and Part B to cover certain cost-sharing expenses, including copayments, deductibles and other out-of-pocket expenses. Medigap plans may also cover benefits like emergency health coverage when you’re traveling and out of the country. Two Medigap plans include an annual out-of-pocket limit as a covered benefit: After you’ve reached your yearly Medicare Part B deductible and your out-of-pocket yearly limit, the Medigap plan will pay for 100% of covered medical expenses for the rest of the year.
Medigap plans do not provide coverage for prescription medications, but you can enroll in a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan if you are interested in adding this benefit to your Original Medicare, Part A and Part B, coverage. Keep in mind that Medicare Supplement insurance only works with Original Medicare; these plans can’t be used to pay for costs if you’re enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan.
There were 10 different types of Medigap plans available in most states, including Washington. Each Medicare Supplement insurance plan is designated by a letter of the alphabet, from A through N. Medigap plans of the same letter category offer standardized benefits, regardless of which insurance company you purchase from or the county that you live in.
Medicare Supplement insurance plans in Washington are offered by insurance companies that are approved by Medicare. These plans come with a separate monthly premium, which you’ll need to pay in addition to your Medicare Part B premium.
Keep in mind that while the coverage may be the same for Medigap plan types across different insurance companies, the cost of the individual plan can vary.
Medicare Supplement insurance doesn’t have set enrollment periods throughout the year, and you can apply to join a Medigap plan at any time after you’re eligible (if the Medigap plan is accepting new applicants and will enroll you). However, you’ll generally have the most options available to you and pay the lowest costs if you enroll in a Medicare Supplement insurance plan during your Medigap Open Enrollment Period. This is the six-month period that starts automatically once you’re both enrolled in Medicare Part B and at least 65 years old. During this period, you have guaranteed-issue rights, meaning you can join any Medigap plan offered in your area, regardless of health issues you may have. During this period, Medigap insurance companies aren’t allowed to use pre-existing conditions* as the basis for charging higher premiums or rejecting a beneficiary’s application.
Once this period is over, you can’t get it again, although you may have guaranteed-issue rights in certain situations. You may have more difficulty finding a Medigap plan that will accept you if you have health problems.
When comparing Medicare Supplement insurance plans in Washington, determining the type of plan that will meet your specific coverage needs is a good first step. Once the plan type and level of coverage you want is narrowed down, you can then research and compare quotes from different insurance companies in the state to find the Medigap plan options that offer the best value.
It is important to note that Medicare Supplement insurance plans with lower monthly premiums may have higher out-of-pocket expenses. When comparing plan options, think of both the monthly cost and the maximum amount you’d like to pay each year for medical care. This will give you a better idea of which plan option may be a good fit for your budget.

What is a drawing? I’ve been itching to write that down for ages. Because, I can’t draw. And yet I do, at home, at my kitchen table, and I use coloured pencils…and then I call the ‘drawings’ other names (they’re so bad, yet they make me happy), because I dare not say ‘drawing.’ There’s something very sensual about making marks on paper—whether writing or drawing. There’s a particular sensuality about ‘working-drawings’ and ‘working-writings’—those drawings and writings which contain the feeling of thinking as it tries to make itself appear, still vibrating as it comes, doubtful and tense, onto the paper. What I have no love for however is auto-CAD produced ‘drawings’, they seem executed, like a problem (except in exceptional cases). An architecture student’s response to Jonathan Dady’s Construction Drawings at the Contemporary Art Centre of South Australia (CACSA) was that the clamps and bolts holding the scaffolding together detracted from the ‘overall effect.’ But that’s what scaffolding (drawing/writing) is—bits of stuff/steel held by other bits of stuff/steel; it’s not a smooth process or result. Architecture is a poetry of joining, an awkward, difficult, demanding, beautiful engagement. It’s messy when you build something. And what is an ‘overall effect’? Can there be such an effect, overall, after? Is there ever a single unified thingness about ‘the thing’? Overall.
At the opening, which was big, and bigger because of the taking-up of space, we were crammed along the driveway, all of us outside and to one side, as there was no element of the exhibition inside the gallery. There we were, crushed along a narrowed path—which had been, until ‘drawn’ over, a generous paved driveway—trying to get to the wine and the barbecue, and to the project space where 3 more artists (James Dodd, Josh Trenwith, and Simon Burt) were showing (strangely compelling and difficult work), and rubbing against bodies, apologising, talking over the guest speaker: banned from setting foot inside the ‘drawing.’ This policing mimicked the drawing. You have to look at it; there it is; you can (must) not cross into it, into the inside of drawing.
I resist the work’s advances—but not the work—just as I resist the CAD process. I resist its appearance, yet I love this realisation, the beyond of the drawing; it’s like the drawing at the kitchen table, it has the bumps, the bald joins, the gushing colours. It plays with what it is to draw. And while it shows the coldness of computer design, in a considered way, in a conservative way too, it argues with that in translations.
Translation is an integral and complex issue here—like memory. The drawing, made sculpture, does not function as ‘addition’, even while it expands the building. It’s more like a rippling from within, from the past (and the future) of the house—the bricked-in windows, the fireplace—from deep restless memory. It’s dressed up and danced out, swirled, and suddenly, just as it ‘fell’ back into place, as echo, it’s been frozen (recall that old warning: if the wind changes you’ll stay like that). And we, visitors, can see (imagine) a diagram-of-knowing, a map, ordered and excessive; an externalising face/facing of an already internalised longing. One beat of the house’s heart, one exhalation. The Dady thought, measured, translates as sketch/drawing, an initial analogue. The CAD drawing translates this drawing plus the existing structure into an outline outside the structure. The scaffolding translates this into hard cold material in real time and real space, as temporary taken-space for no programmed use, blocking contact with the gallery/house’s own materiality. Useless space. Tempting space. Space for contrary contemplation. Busy reckless dangerous space (like each potentially last heart beat is). The scaffold (usually aiding, abetting, the practice of building) translates as sculpture, as art. And in so doing translates/dematerialises the house ‘behind’ it into questions of duration and endurance. From the empty repleteness of the sculpture one is aware of the compact solidity of the gallery—even of its smallness. The sculpture shrinks the building. Maybe when the sculpture is removed the gallery will remain as after-effect (as if it too has gone forever), itself a lasting translation or transformation, small, dark, and bleak as it seems now.
Is drawing an after-effect in its own right? Does a drawing make its subject (overall) a completely different thing(?)—a thinking thought-of thing, a point of transition, from which it desires to be the effect of ‘afterwards’; after-the-fact of presence comes another presence (over and over) from which the thing cannot recover, it’s there ‘anew’, however slight the change might be—perhaps changed only by acts of thought.
Dady has, in a poetic-relational-sense, brought drawing to the party, made it ‘leap’ off the page, as they say (or threaten), made its language enter the matter of our space. His drawing takes up the world. Yet the taking-up has no meaning, and is available for meaning. And for that reason my resisting both the advance and the appearance is pointless, it’s like resisting what has arrived.
Dady is such a fine, considered, reflective artist that one (collectively) is quiet about his work, as if it’s (he’s) a secret held close, like a favourite book. And this is telling because ‘writing/drawing’ pervades all his work. In a sense Dady wrote the building; instead of showing ‘work’ he exhibited a stilled moment of the building’s tightly kept (now busted) pleasure.
For an overview of Jonathan Dady’s work see Chris Reid’s feature in the latest Broadsheet, Volume 30, Number 1, 2001. In this text Dady’s connection with architecture is clearly made, particularly through his collaborations with architect Simone Vinall.

The Swedish economy hit a wall late in 2008 as world trade collapsed. In 2009 GDP will fall by nearly 2½ per cent - the largest downturn in a single year since the Second World War. The economic downturn will persist during 2010 and growth will end up around zero. The labour market will deteriorate and payrolls will shrink by a total of more than 200,000 people. Inflation will ease noticeably. This year the Consumer Price Index will fall by more than ½ per cent. Due to a clear deceleration in the rate of pay increases, inflation will remain far below the Riksbank's target at the end of 2010. Combined with continued downside risks to growth, this will lead the Riksbank to go the full distance and cut its repo rate to zero per cent. Sweden's public sector finances will deteriorate at a rapid pace, and the 2010 budget deficit will be equivalent to 6 per cent of GDP.
The United States will experience its deepest post-war recession. The economy is now going through a sharp savings adjustment, and GDP will fall 2.6 per cent this year. In 2010, too, growth will be far below trend. The upturn in unemployment to more than 10 per cent will be the most dramatic in modern times. Meanwhile the government is launching unprecedented economic stimuli. Zero interest rates, combined with various types of quantitative stimulus measures, are being used in response to the threat of deflation and the difficult credit market situation. Fiscal policy will also be extremely expansive, with stimuli equivalent to 6 per cent of GDP in the next couple of years.
Economic conditions in Western Europe have weakened greatly in recent months, and growth will end up on a par with the US level this year. Delayed policy responses and major imbalances in the housing market in many countries will contribute to this. Large exposure to crisis-plagued Central and Eastern Europe is also weighing down the region. Because of the weak growth outlook and sharply falling inflation, the European Central Bank will also cut its key interest rate to 0.5 per cent.
Emerging economies such as China, India and Russia are also being affected as demand from the US and Western Europe falls and the flow of credit dries up. This year, overall GDP growth in countries outside the OECD will be only 1 per cent, compared to the record year 2007 when growth exceeded 8 per cent.
During 2009 the foreign exchange market will focus on the problems in the euro zone, and the euro will continue to weaken towards USD 1.15 late this year. Key interest rates of close to zero and a continued flow of weak economic data will help push down long-term yields during 2009. Ever-larger public sector borrowing requirements will gradually have an impact on market interest rates, which will rebound during 2010.
The Swedish economy will decline by about the same as the rest of Europe. This year GDP will shrink by 2.4 per cent, and growth will reach only 0.4 per cent in 2010. The labour market is facing a clear adjustment. Unemployment will climb to an average of more than 10 per cent in 2010. The dramatic weakening of the labour market will squeeze wages and salaries. This will help keep underlying inflation pressure very weak, and inflation will end up well below the Riksbank's target at the end of next year. With inflation risks on the downside and a very weak economic situation, the Riksbank can continue helping the economy with interest rate cuts. As early as this spring, the repo rate will stand at zero per cent.
The Swedish government will implement further fiscal stimulus measures next year. Combined with the effects of the economic slump, this will greatly weaken public finances. The public sector's financial saving will move from a surplus of 2 per cent of GDP in 2008 to a deficit equivalent to 6 per cent in 2010. Central government debt will start to climb, after shrinking almost uninterruptedly since the mid-1990s.

SB 2723 ASR Safe Alkalinity Restorer is designed to restore concrete alkalinity lost to carbonation, exposure to natural or manmade acidity, or intentional cleaning/etching by muriatic acid. SB 2723 is formulated with lithium hydroxide so it is safe for use on both normal and alkali-silica reaction (ASR) sensitive concrete. This product contains a unique blend of other ingredients to assure quick wetting and deep penetration into the concrete surface. Unlike more conventional products based on sodium or potassium hydroxides, the lithium ion will not promote efflorescence or lead to water sensitivity. SB 2723 ASR Safe Alkalinity Restorer is recommended for use before treatments with silicate based hardeners/densifiers.
SB 2723 is to be applied to clean and dry concrete surfaces. Clean the concrete by either mechanical/abrasive means or by a suitable chemical cleaner.
spillage or spray during usage.
All projects should start with a test application to determine the suitability of the product, acceptable application method and dwell time. Test areas of at least 10 square feet are recommended and should involve the most severely contami- nated area. When possible, the test area should be left to age for 10 or more days to check for possible latent adverse reactions that might require a change in procedure.
Dilution: Product normally used undiluted — test application recommended.
Do not pre-wet the concrete surface with water. Apply by sprayer, roller, or synthetic bristle brush to dry concrete and work into the pores if necessary. Do not use aluminum or galvanized equipment. Brushes should be made with synthe- tic bristles as the material will degrade natural fibers. Allow the product to work on the surface for at least 15 minutes or longer depending on the porosity and temperature. Apply multiple coats as needed to raise the pH of the concrete to at least 10 at the target depth. After final product application, spray or mist with water to drive material deeper into the concrete. Failure to do so may result in formation of a high pH white salt on the surface. If white surface coating appears, reapply water to force the product in or scrub excess off surface.

text: This volume surveys the work of one of the canonical Conceptual artists of the 1960s, American artist Lawrence Weiner. He pioneered the radical proposition that the work of art could exist as a concept, without the need for physical materials which will decay and which transform art into consumer goods. As well as being art historically significant, making an enormous impact on subsequent generations, Weiner continues to occupy a powerful presence in the contemporary artworld through an ongoing series of exhibitions and public commissions. He composes texts which are evocative of process, materials, structure and history. Working within the specifics of a particular site he uses its architecture and geography as inspiration. He always uses Univers Condensed, a simple, utilitarian yet elegant typeface, adding a painterly quality with his choice of vivid colours or stark monochromes. Weiner is dedicated to the idea of access, distribution and the free circulation of art and ideas. To this end he has situated his works in sites ranging from gallery walls to postcards, CDs and videos. The book is part of a series of studies of important artists of the late-20th century. Each title offers a comprehensive survey of the artist's work, providing analyses and multiple perspectives on contemporary art and its inspiration.

Who’s ready for a fresh start to the year?
To inspire you to kick off 2014 with some deliciously healthy eats, over the course of January, I’m going to lay out four weeks’ worth of lip-smacking, nourishing grub. And don’t worry if you’re on the straight-and-narrow this month—I chose recipes of mine that should fit into any Paleo template, whether you’re on a short-term dietary reset like the Whole30 or 21 Day Sugar Detox, or you’ve settled into an everyday real-food approach.
Before we get started, I should point out that this isn’t meant to be a meal plan. In these posts, I won’t be telling you what to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and you certainly shouldn’t feel compelled to make every single thing listed (though you certainly can, if you feel like it!). Instead, I hope that some or all of these recipes will strike your fancy, and spark ideas about other dishes you can make this month and beyond. My goal is simple: to inspire you to cook and eat Paleo without sacrificing flavor or fun.
This simple Asian-inspired appetizer is a crowd-pleaser that never disappoints—even when the “crowd” consists of just me and my boys.
As you go through January—heck, as you go through life—you’ll find that you need ghee, and plenty of it. Trust me on this.
You’ll need mayo, too. And making it with an immersion blender is even easier, so what are you waiting for?
And since we’re on the topic of flavor-boosters, why not make yourself a batch of homemade sriracha—the kind that isn’t loaded with unpronounceable preservatives? Sriracha is, after all, a delicious blessing flavored with the incandescent glow of a thousand dying suns.
Need to warm yourself from the inside-out? This wonderfully spicy Ethiopian chicken stew should do the trick.
On finger-numbing winter evenings, there is nothing better in this world than a bag of freshly-roasted chestnuts. I repeat: nothing.
I know we all like to stress the importance of seasonal eating, but sometimes, a little taste of summer can make you forget about the chill—at least for the few minutes you spend savoring this dish.
It’s called the “World’s Best” for a reason.
Pressure cookers aren’t just good for making rice and beans! (Want to learn more about pressure cooker history? Check out this post—and yet another of my recipes—here.) Give this a go, and you’ll be hooked on how easy it is to whip up quick vegetable sides in no time flat.
Last but not least, this hearty recipe is a year-round family favorite, featuring tender chunks of Mexican-spiced beef stew.
Bonus: If you need more inspiration to get in the kitchen, my friends at Whole9 have compiled a bunch of fun videos that’ll transform you into a kitchen ninja in no time. Check it out!
Happy New Year, and get cooking already!

We come together today as a community to mourn the unexpected loss of one of our own in this Christmas season, a time which we normally associate with new life, family, festivity and celebration.
For us the season has changed, and we turn today to the God whose presence amongst us we celebrate at Christmas, to provide meaning, support and light to scatter the darkness that now hangs over our town. We turn to the God of the Beatitudes to guide us towards his transformation of the hardships and sufferings of this life into His comforting mercy and healing love through His continued presence with us throughout all the seasons of our life.
Valerie had many interests in life and loved to celebrate. She was heavily involved in rowing and in many other groups, she loved going to bingo or the movies and had travelled much in her younger days. She had many changing hairstyles to reflect her outgoing character; she would often be one of the last to leave a party and had built up a wide circle of friends, of all ages. Her love of dancing and singing carried over into her daily life, and she could be found dancing at home even as she was making the dinner – even if there was a dispute as to whether she needed dancing lessons or not. Valerie worked hard, especially for her family, without complaint. She was a very caring person, and she cared for her mother and father at home for a long time. She was always dedicated to her family life, and they did everything together. Board games, movies and holidays were all special shared times, and Valerie dedicated herself completely to every moment with her family. Valerie was known in her extended family as someone who was always quick to forgive. She would often just walk away from an argument, moving on quickly from the argued point. You would have to go far to find anyone who would have a bad word to say about her and she herself would have very few bad words to say about anyone. Her strength of character still stands now as a powerful inspiration to her family. However, we are at a stage now where we are left with many questions where there are no answers, and many where we will never have an answer and to explore them would not give us much in return. Quick answers which seem to fit will not help here.
All we can do is to trust our future lives together to God in prayer. To start this I will now pray for all of us here present, so as to give us a handle to lift up all the unanswerable questions of the lives of all here present so that we can hand them over to God, to leave them with Him so that He can take the loose treads of the tapestry of our shared lives, and weave them into His higher purpose and plan for our world which always remains in need of His help.
We can also trust that the great and small acts of love that Valerie performed in this life will be greatly rewarded by God in the next. Together we pray: God, grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change; courage to change the things we can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; taking, as Jesus did, this world much in need of healing as it is, not as we would have it; trusting that he will make all things right if we entrust our lives to him; that we may find real and sustaining purpose and happiness in this life and that we will be supremely happy, forever reunited with all of our loved ones in the presence of God, in the next.
Father Patrick O’Donoghue CC, Cobh, will preach this homily and will be the chief celebrant at the 11.00am Requiem Mass for the late Mrs Valerie Greaney RIP. This Mass will be celebrated in Saint Colman’s Cathedral, Cobh, in the Diocese of Cloyne.


text: I couldn't agree more. I love your Channel and it inspires me to do great things. I love hair and fashion but I never got a chance to live my dream of becoming a cosmetologist just like my beloved grandmother. She did hair back in the 50's in the white beauty shops and then would come home with a line full of people waiting to get their hair done. I share her passion of hair, beauty and wellness. My job relocated me to the ATL only to lay me off 6 months later. Well now it's time. I've decided to start my own hair distribution company and later a Salon. Any tips? Peace and Blessings always.

Listed Buildings are buildings or monuments which are recognised as being nationally important. The list is maintained and updated by the secretary of state for culture, media and sport.
254 buildings which are either classified as Grade II* (important buildings of more than special interest) or Grade II (buildings of special interest warranting every effort to preserve them). There are also seven scheduled ancient monuments.
Details of the listed buildings and scheduled ancient monuments, including their location can be found on the Council's Interactive Map.
If you need to carry out work to a listed building, you must fill out a Listed building planning application form. The process can take up to 8 weeks.
Listed buildings are recognised as having special architectural or historic interest and are immediately protected by law. Any changes must receive listed building consent from the Council. This ensures that any changes or alterations respect the character of the building and its surroundings and that the case for its preservation is fully taken into account when any redevelopment proposals are considered.
Advice is available from the Council’s planning team who are available to discuss proposals prior to submitting a planning application form.
Additional guidance can be found in the National Planning Policy Framework, on the Heritage Gateway website and on the English Heritage website.

Your partner will feel like they won the lottery by having you around. That's obvious... Where else would they find someone as versatile as you? You charm them with everything you know and your perspective on life.
You'll be an intense symbol of attraction for them, especially if they're born under a fire sign. You're the air that lights their fire! Arians, Leos and Sagittariuses will fall head over heels for you.
They will give you the perfect excuse to go crazy. Feeling so appreciated definitely brings out the best in you. That's the kind of person you want for the long run, Aquarians.
If your firey lover hasn't shown up yet, try to go to parties and places where fun happens. You'll find those firey natives wherever there's excitement boiling up!
You can ask for the impossible if you want to. Is it a risky idea? Never mind, it's so necessary for the world that you'll do whatever it takes to make it come true. And the best of all this is, the universe is right behind you.
You've got skills to stop a runaway train, and if anyone can do that, that's you. Comparing themselves to your way of life, other people could go pale and faint. You have the perfect mix of exoticism and seriousness that catches everyone's eye and fascinates them. You're showstoppers, Aquarians!
Spend your money on alternative energy sources (for instance, solar plates) because they will definitely save some money in the long run. They're also good for planet Earth. You have the open mind and the wits it takes to make this step forward.
Are you moving around places with enough fresh air? If that isn't the case, perhaps that's one of the reasons why your asthma is still hanging around.
Aquarians, your lungs will be super sensitive for a few days. That's why it'll be best for you to try and hang your laundry to dry outside the house, so that humidity doesn't affect you.
Spending as much time as you can with fresh, clean air is the best you can do. Not just out of fun, but because your health is at stake.

So at the beginning of this year my dad began to deteriorate. Dad is a tough patient and he hates going to hospitals. We begged him to see a doctor. He was not listening till we finally got him to a local hospital they did a ct scan and found a tumor 4 days later he had the operation to remove 80 % of it. He has now been treated with radiation and chemo for the last month with 8 treatments left. The last 3 weeks its been really hard as the chemo has lead him to have severe swelling and weight gain. Sadly his mood has been very bad with him rudely treating mom his caregiver especially on days I am away from home. Mom is diabetic and she has emotional swings as well. And now with his mood and her own issues I am at my wits end. I am trying to find out if he would better off with a caregiver to help her. He does have excellent insurance I am not sure they would cover it. Was wondering if their are support systems to help. Any ideas.
Hi Jedi, so sorry your dad and mom are ill . I imagine it's tough for you on many levels. Yes you will find resources and support groups through the place of treatments. You may reach out to the social workers at a nearby hosptial. Hope this information is helpful.

I must admit that, as an author with nine books and two novellas under my belt, sometimes I feel like one of those poor souls, standing on the side of the road, holding up a sign that reads: Will Write for Reviews.
And just like in that scenario, most people just stare ahead, not wanting to make eye contact, as they wait for the light to change. I think that is the way it feels for many writers, pleading with their readers to just spare a minute of their time to give a review, but why is it so damn important?
What you are looking at is ‘legalized’ cheating. This is just one of the many sites that will ‘help’ authors quickly obtain an unearned bestseller status for the right price.
To break it down: If you are a writer, with a bunch of disposable cash, you can legitimately buy your way onto the Amazon bestseller list. Admittedly, this is a pretty shady way of doing business, and something that is ‘frowned upon’ by Amazon, but it is technically not a violation of their policies. Ironically, they will allow authors to ‘buy reviews’ from strangers, but an earnest review left by someone they deem to be a family member will be immediately purged. Go figure.
Unfortunately, I don’t know that many self-published authors who have that kind of money lying around, so those looking to utilize this method are generally already successful enough to justify this expenditure or have a publisher willing to aggressively push a product.
I, like most authors I know, would kill for those numbers, but let’s dig a little deeper here for a moment. The author attributed to this amazing rank status has just ONE previously published book under their belt and that novel has clocked in exactly 39 reviews. However, their second book, which is the one represented in all those coveted #1 and #2 spots, has racked up an amazing 323 reviews, but it hasn’t even been released yet. Yes, you read that correctly; the author’s second book, which has taken the top spots on several lists, is not even available yet. You do the math and see how that adds up.
I’d like to say this is an aberration, but it is not. Getting onto any bestseller list, especially if it is the New York Times or USA Today, is the goal of all authors. It is the literary world’s equivalent of the Super Bowl or World Series, but it is unfortunately very, very skewed and can be manipulated.
Take for instance the curious case of: Handbook for Mortals, written by Lani Sarem. This debut book emerged in early August 2017 and that very same month shot to #1 on the NYT Bestseller List, knocking off a well-established book that had previously held that spot. To say this was a considerable feat would be a gross understatement; especially considering this was not only Ms. Sarem’s first novel, but it was also the first novel from her publisher; which is exactly why it raised so many eyebrows.
Well, they apparently identified and exploited a weak link. According to the folks within the Young Adult genre, who immediately began investigating this issue, they found some serious inconsistences / anomalies within the book sales. After speaking to representatives from book stores, they concluded that someone had pre-arranged for large purchases of the book through various sellers they knew reported sales to the NYT. Effectively, they purchased their way onto the NYT Best Seller List. The author / publisher denied this, but the NYT subsequently pulled the book from their list. Unfortunately, traditional publishing houses have been doing this for a very long time.
Sadly, this is the world that authors live in. For those of us who believe in the sanctity of the review process, we are faced with those who see no problem in fast-tracking their way to the top. Often we are told that other authors are not our competition, but the reality is that this is a naïve belief. Authors ARE in competition with one another for the readers in each genre, but it is a game that is made exponentially harder when the system is manipulated. That is why it is truly so important, for those of us who actually play by the rules, that our readers support our efforts.
A book review only takes a minute, but for that struggling, self-published author, it is like handing them a piece of gold. For those of us who still choose to do things the right way, instead of the easy way, it is probably the only recognition we will get, but maybe, just maybe, your review will be the one that propels our book to critical acclaim.
So what do you say? Roll the dice and reward your favorite author with a review!

1. It’s easier to paint things you love.
2.Take all the time necessary in the drawing and composition phase (for Heidi, this represents around a third of the hours spent on a piece).
3. Practice any difficult bits on off-cuts of watercolour paper.
4. Get to the bottom of how particular overlaps of leaves, flowers and other elements work before painting starts.
5. If the piece is complex, first shade in a complete, rough version on a separate page using graphite or grey wash to show shadows or tonal values. This gives great confidence in proceeding.
6. There are many ways to arrive at a good pigment choice, and none are wrong if they reflect nature's colours.
8. Preserve the light. It's too easy to enjoy applying the beautiful hues and not notice your highlights disappearing, never to be reclaimed.
9. Indulge yourself in deep, intense tones or shadows where they actually fall (best applied first) in cross-overs or on the undersides of foliage and flowers. Your work will leap from the page.
10. Watercolour is capable of great intensity and drama, as well as subtle delicacy. Make the most of its full register for dramatic effect.
And finally...please don’t forget to breathe......and to enjoy your painting!
Not a recommended way to paint botanical art!

As Peru’s main tourist centre, the city’s sights are well documented and are covered by the Cusco Tourist Ticket (Boleto Turístico). Here are my personal favourites from 20 years of introducing trekkers to Cusco.
Particularly rewarding if you can catch an early-morning service, but at any time for the painting of Christ and his disciples enjoying a guinea pig at the Last Supper.
An awe-inspiring example of exquisite Inca stonework (the Temple of the Sun) topped by a Spanish colonial church, Santa Domingo.
This is my favourite religious building in Cusco. From the outside its adobe façade looks unremarkable but inside is some of the best wood carving you will see in Peru. Take a close look at the cherubs holding up the weight of the pulpit. The artistry is marvellous but the physiological knowledge less so – try that position yourself!
Most interesting for its crypt housing a macabre display of skulls and bones.
The best of the museums. An impressive and somewhat gruesome collection of mummies and Inca artefacts. Helps put the Inca culture into perspective.

I'm sure it's meant to be shared by a group of hungry peeps The burger looks really dry to me, and it's unlikely I'd even want one bite. I like a burger occasionally, but it has to be ground round and cooked medium rare. No American cheese for me; I order a burger with blue cheese or a side of blue cheese dressing. Lettuce, tomato, but hold the pickles and onions. Oh, and I don't care for regular hamburger buns but prefer rye bread.

I was tickled when I saw the title of Freemasonry: Shattering The Myth on AskMen.com. The article claims to debunk some common myths about Freemasonry, but instead perpetuates some weird inaccuracies, including some I haven't heard before. "Possession of a Masonic Bible is required for membership," claims the author. I guess I'm not a real Mason, then.
Later on he repeats the standard bit about Freemasonry being persecuted by dictators and religious regimes, which is certainly mostly true, but also gets a few more things wrong, such as his claim that, "The bad rap Freemasonry received, which has fueled conspiracy theories for years, goes back to 1827." The author's research doesn't seem to have been very thorough. Anti-Masonic sentiments go back much further than that, and in fact there was at least one tract against the fraternity published before we went public in 1717. The article wraps up with some more misinformation, and perpetuates the anti-Catholic myth during its conclusion. I'm glad Freemasonry is getting some publicity, but give me a break! Maybe they'll use more facts next time, or have one of the world's five million Freemasons double-check the information they've gathered.
The Sacramento Bee, on the other hand, featured a great article yesterday. Inside the Masonic Temple is a touching visit to the Masonic Temple Building in downtown Sacramento. The story is one that is undoubtedly familiar to many Masons, such as the brethren of Sunnyside Lodge No. 163 whom I featured in one of my earliest articles: a beautiful building is falling into decay, and the Brethren fight for its upkeep. The author has some nice things to say about the Sacramento building. The photo gallery accompanying the article is worth seeing, as well.
One of the five-story building's most remarkable features is its extensive terra cotta ornamentation. Statues of Knights Templar, eyes cast down and holding shields, adorn the ground floor, while cupids cavort above each window. The terra cotta and brick exterior is glazed a coppery green.
Those interested in helping the Sacramento Masonic Temple may want to take a look at the Sacramento Masonic Fund Raiser page, which is attempting to raise $26,000 to help restore the beautiful building. You can also read their excellent article about the building.

Riverside, California - Federal authorities this morning concluded a 2½-year wiretap investigation into a drug trafficking organization based in the Coachella Valley by arresting eight defendants linked to the distribution of wholesale quantities of methamphetamine.
The eight people arrested today by special agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration are among 16 defendants named in two indictments returned by a federal grand jury on June 14. In addition to today’s arrests, three defendants already were in custody, and five defendants are fugitives, with three of those believed to be in Mexico.
The investigation – which was dubbed Operation “Narco Navigator” – targeted a significant methamphetamine distribution network overseen by a Coachella man that was responsible for sending narcotics to local sellers, as well as to customers in other states. During the course of this investigation, the DEA and its law enforcement partners seized over 50 pounds of methamphetamine and four firearms.
Ruben Arredondo-Diaz, 53, of Lexington, Nebraska, who is currently a fugitive and who allegedly arranged the distribution of drugs in Nebraska.
All 15 defendants named in this indictment are accused of participating in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and to possess with the intent to distribute methamphetamine. If they were to be convicted, each defendant would face a potential sentence of life in federal prison.
Those arrested Wednesday are expected to be arraigned on the indictment in United States District Court in Riverside (with the exception of Osteen, who is expected to appear in federal court in San Diego).
The second indictment unsealed charges Sills and Salvador Lemus Ramos, also known as “Eddie,” 39, of Palm Springs, who is also a fugitive, with distributing methamphetamine. The indictment describes a transaction in late 2015 in Cathedral City involving two pounds of methamphetamine where the buyer was an undercover DEA agent.
Department; the Coachella Valley Narcotics Task Force; the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department; U.S. Customs and Border Protection; the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the United States Marshal’s Service; the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation; the California Highway Patrol; the Riverside County District Attorney’s Gang Impact Team; and the Nebraska State Patrol.
The two indictments are being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Puneet V. Kakkar of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force.

text: Originally starting as a bed room solo passion project, Slow Bullet is a band that has evolved throughout the years into a powerful force. This pseudo-emo alternative rock outfit has toured most of the country supporting the release of their debut album “Still Close Enough to Go Back” (Recorded by Matt Frank of You Blew It!, Their / They’re / There, and Annabel at Atlas Studios in Chicago, IL) and does not see any plans to stop. Originally just being composed of one member in Sam DeBurgh, the group got the addition of Anthony Willems and Jake Beaver which in turn made the band refocus on a different direction. While the band’s current discography could be classified in the “emo” world, in a live setting it turns into its own force. Delicately balancing the wire with their aggressive sound complimented by the emotive and powerful story telling of DeBurgh’s lyrics; which often vicariously lives through and comments on the depravity of mankind and the human condition. Three years since the debut album, this spring Slow Bullet intends on releasing their new EP “Mercy In Your Touch” which expands on the bands larger sound and shows much maturity from their past release, giving us an intentional and effective taste of what’s to come from this talented group.
