Welcome to my blog! I’m Ruth, a mum in my 30s, married to Tom, with four children (Andrew – 2011, Joel – 2012, Samuel & Naomi (twins) – 2017) and another baby who didn’t get to live with us outside of the womb (2016). I started this blog partly to write about our difficult breastfeeding journey with Andrew, because I wanted to raise awareness of the condition that I have called insufficient glandular tissue, which means I can’t physically breastfeed a baby without supplementation. I hoped that my writing could help others in some way, as well as being therapeutic for me. Five and a half years later, I also felt strongly about sharing our experience of miscarriage, to break the taboo, and again hoping that my writing could help others in some way, as well as being therapeutic for me.
On this blog I like to share various snippets from life as ‘me’, a bit of this and a bit of that – mum-hood, pregnancy, miscarriage, breastfeeding, my faith in Jesus, craft and sewing, baking and cooking, languages and linguistics, outdoor fun and swimming. I hope you find something of interest amongst this mixed bag of all sorts, and enjoy reading it. You can also follow me on social media here – Instagram, Twitter, Facebook.
Hello. I was nominated for a Liebster Blog Award and I’ve just passed it on to you – I really enjoy your blog and wanted to share it!
Thank you very much 🙂 Glad you like reading it. I like to think that readers get something out of what I write, that’s why I enjoy writing. Your blog is also great reading. I’m new to this blogging thing, so not really heard about awards and stuff like that.
Lovely blog – very easy to read and it feels fresh and “alive”! You will have to give me some tips!
I haven’t been to LLL for a while, but I might pop in for a visit soon.
Thanks for visiting truly myrtle!
Hey Ruth, Hi Stitch This, I’ve nominated you for The Beautiful Blogger Award.

The Bunnell Pioneer House was constructed by Stephan and Mary Bunnell.
The land was purchased by the state of Utah for the UVSC Campus. Skylights, a spiral staircase, modern bathrooms, and a kitchen were added.
The house was dismantled to make way for the new Student Life and Wellness Center.
The original property was a 60-acre farm which also included several out-buildings.
The condition of the house deteriorated dramatically over time as it fell out of use.
A smaller tribute replica was built on campus, just south of the Sparks Automotive Building, using some of the original brick.

That’s the year Big Data will find its way out of the data center and back rooms – typically populated by statisticians and business analysts – and into the offices of the chief financial officer (CFO), chief marketing officer (CMO) and chief sales officer (CSO), who are charged with growing revenue. Everyone will soon be busy making sense of the mountains of information Big Data technologies like website traffic logs, RFID, social media, online transactions and medical records have made available for analysis. ICC Big Data experts have identified the top five reasons that Big Data is poised to provide insights that c-suite executives will find too important to ignore in 2013.

It’s time to plant some fall bulbs. Yep – it’s almost past time even, because you should also be getting your flower beds ready for the winter. But I’ll share how to do that in another post.
Around here in northern Utah it’s supposed to snow this weekend. I know – Snow! But first we have to hit 68 degrees today and then it can plummet down to snow temperatures later in the week.
So you’d better get busy, because time is running out and if you delay then when spring rolls around and you see other people’s daffodils, tulips and crocus’ blooming while you’re staring at a bare and boring flower bed, you’ll be bummed.
Breathe. That was a long sentence. I seem to be getting really good at those lately. I think I just have a lot to say and feel like I need to type it really fast without trying to construct smaller sentences because if I stop to try to figure it out then I’ll forget what I was trying to say in the first place.
You need: bulbs, hand shovel, big shovel, garden gloves (optional), plastic knives (I’ll explain later) and a watering can.
I know this picture shows seeds as well as bulbs, but you don’t want to plant your seeds until the spring. Be patient. Bulbs only, please.
You can do this however you want. I know of some people who spray paint the spot where their bulbs and plants will go.
Okay. Whatever floats your boat. I don’t think I’m that exact.
I just use scrap pieces of paper thrown on the ground. I mean – placed strategically on the ground.
Or you can just set your bulb package straight on the ground. That works, too.
I’m no expert, but I do know how to plant a bulb. You follow the instructions that came with your bulbs, of course!
Many bulbs need to be planted 6″ deep but again, follow the instructions that came with your bulbs.
Dig your hole to the desired depth. Place your bulbs in the ground, cover with dirt then water thoroughly. If you’re digging a large area, you’ll probably want to use the big shovel. If it’s a small area, use the hand shovel.
As for where to place your bulbs, I’ve read from experts that if you want your garden to look more natural, you should place them in odd groupings. For large areas, you should randomly throw them in your hole then plant them where they land.
Don’t plant them in a straight line unless you’re going for the extreme structure of an English garden.
Oh – and plant them pointy side up. Yes, those are the technical terms.
Now for the plastic knives.
This is how you mark where you’ve planted your bulbs.
Oh sure, you could spend money on fancy markers, but why don’t you spend that money on more bulbs? Plastic knives are so cheap. Plus, they’re good conversation starters when people look at your flower beds and ask you what the knives are for.
Just take a Sharpie and label your knives with the plant’s name on it. Stick it in the ground and you’re done.
You can’t go wrong with plastic knives.
And now you’ll have a purty yard in the spring.

I like the knife idea!

Creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens) is the most common species of buttercup. Level of control will vary with species.
Buttercups establish from the seedbank in new grass leys, and where gaps occur in the sward. Once established, creeping buttercup can spread by stolons.
Creeping buttercup is often a severe problem in horse paddocks, where close grazing tends to open the sward. It is not generally grazed by stock, but animals will eat it when there is insufficient grass available. Fresh buttercup can be toxic to livestock when eaten in large quantities, but is palatable when in hay. Typically grazing animals rarely consume buttercups if other forage is available.

He is a prankster and troublemaker, often sarcastic and lazy, but can also be dutiful and determined at times. He and Toby are the only brown-haired Duncans; all of the others are blondes. He also won the right to name his baby brother Toby; in one episode, he tried to impress a girl by making video diaries for Toby, ending them with "Good Fortune, Toby! It has been revealed that Gabe was a calm and docile baby.
He is front-man when it comes to the Duncans' running rivalry with their neighbor Mrs. A running gag in the show is that he insults Bob's weight and baldness, Amy's cooking, PJ being a goofball, Teddy being a "goody-goody," and occasionally Charlie. Charlotte "Charlie" Duncan (Mia Talerico) is the title character and the second-youngest Duncan sibling. It sometimes takes a few tries to get her to do the right thing. Many of the Duncan family's adventures revolve around Charlie.
In March 2011, a feature-length Christmas Disney Channel Original Movie based on the series, entitled Good Luck Charlie, It's Christmas! When parents Amy (Leigh-Allyn Baker), a nurse, and Bob (Eric Allan Kramer), an exterminator, return to work, they ask their three older children—PJ (Jason Dolley), Teddy (Bridgit Mendler), and Gabe (Bradley Steven Perry)--to help raise their little sister.
Feeling that she will not be around as much when Charlie is grown, she produces and directs video diaries for her, hoping they will give her advice that will help her be successful as a teenager.
Amy used to be on the local news team and was also a poet in her high-school days.
A running gag on the show is that she was involved in virtually every extracurricular activity at Southwest Denver Community College but still earned a nursing degree.
The events in each episode become material for a video diary that Teddy is making for Charlie.
Teddy hopes the videos will provide useful advice for Charlie after they have both grown up and Teddy has moved out.She produces these video diaries at the end of every episode, and at the end of every video diary she says "Good luck Charlie". It was mentioned in "Sun Show: Part 1", that her parents were expecting a boy, hence the generally masculine name "Teddy". Throughout the show Teddy has had numerous boyfriends. for "goody-goody." She and Spencer get back together in "Can You Keep A Secret? In "All Fall Down" Teddy and Spencer break up because they don't want to be in a long-distance relationship while Spencer attends the Boston Institute for Performing Arts (BIPA).

So, my first synth was a Super JX-10, followed closely by an M1, Wavestation, DX-7. In college, I got a Kurz K2K and a JP-8000, followed by a Novation K-Station. Several years later, a Moog Little Phatty and an E-MU MP-7.
I still have the Moog, but over the years, have gotten rid of the rest in favor of plugins. I've amassed quite a collection of plugins and have a decent workflow with my MIDI controllers and have embraced MPE. Even though I know there are a massive amount of things that can be done in a plugin that (a) aren't realistic or affordable to pull off with hardware, or (b) just can't be done, I've found myself getting a semi-modular/modular GAS bug. I think it's because I'd really like to get back to basic sound design and enjoy the thought of "one knob, one function" and the eventual expandability through patching.
Re: My synth past, present....future?
I understand your feelings. I sold my last hardware off in the fall of 2017 and went "in the box" 100% using Live and Logic. I'm only using this at home for fun, if I was gigging I would have stuck with hardware.
Since I no longer had a keyboard, I needed a controller and started with a Novation Impulse. It's very well integrated with Live, not so well with Logic. In Live, it can do full device control but you never know what you're controlling until you move a control! Then it shows the parameter and the value. In Logic, it can do device control using the Automap software which has one benefit, it's possible to open Automap's editor and see the current state of the knobs. Not ideal but workable.
Since I was using Logic more than Live, I sold the Impulse and bought a Nektar Panorama. This has full integration with Logic but is poor with Live, such is life (I do have a Launchpad which fills many of the gaps with Live). With Logic, the color screen displays the mappings of all the controls and the current parameter values. Of course it also has DAW related controls...transport, mixer, etc....but it was really the control of the plugins that sold me on the unit.
It's not the same as having real hardware with real knobs but it comes very close. It's similar to the workstations I used for years where you used the display together with a handful of knobs and switches to control everything. Your gear list suggests you know what I mean. It's similar to the Little Phatty and the MP7, a decent number of knobs, but only a frcation of parameters available at any one time.
Nektar is the only company really trying to be a deep controller with all DAWs, but for many DAWs there are dedicated controllers like Launchpad, Push, APC, Atom, Fire, Maschine, etc. The NI Komplete Kontrol keyboards are very interesting, because they are focused on the plugins, not the DAW. If I was using Komplete, I'd own one already. The more of these that come on the market, the better it will feel working with plugins instead of hardware.
As far as the modular bug, I had it for years but sold all of it off. If your budget is tight, I'd look in particular at Behringer's Neutron ($330) and the Make Noise 0-Coast ($500, I owned one of these). Once the Behringer Crave ($200) hits the streets, that plus a Neutron should make a very nice system for low dough. What currently satisfies my remaining modular jones is Aalto and VCV Rack.
I think "one knob- one function" is actually over-rated. Unintentionally I've ended up using a Novation KS Rack as a controller for the Arturia V Collection (and I still like the sound of the KSR). Very simple to assign the controls, and once it's done it is loadsa fun. With the analogue synths, the layout of the KSR is pretty much perfect. There are always a few tricky things that cannot be assigned to one knob- the modulation in V collection is more extensive than the original machines, and it's fun digging in to that occasionally. With the digital stuff, it does enough.
I find the Prophet 5 very fun, there's loads of possibilities in the polymod without ever going in to the Arturia menus, or cross-patching with the Vector Synth.

Guest, Sarah Hegger Educates You on Medieval Romance!
This is going to be such fun today! My friend Sarah will be teaching you a thing or two about Medieval Romance and the era. Please join in the fun! Leave your answer. I’ll get them up and Sarah will tell you if you’re right!
Thanks, Ronnie for having me over to share the release of my second medieval romance, SWEET BEA.
Clearly, I’m a girl who likes medieval things.
So, I thought we should have a bit of fun with that today. I’m going to give you ten medieval bits of trivia. ONE of which is a LIE.
If you are the first one to guess the lie correctly, there’s a copy of Sweet Bea in it for you.
Now then, let’s play TRUE OR FALSE. And remember, nine of these bits of nothing are TRUE. Only one is FALSE. Please be sure to leave me a way to contact you along with your guess.
1. Medieval Bread could get you high. Summer was a particularly difficult time for villagers as they were running out of grain, so they’d often use old rye to make bread. Unfortunately, stored rye was frequently infected with ergot, a fungus with LSD like qualities that caused hallucinations, gangrene and – in extreme cases- death.
2. Roger Bacon was a Franciscan friar who lived from around 1214 to 1292. In his Epistola de Secretis Operibus, he wrote: “Cars can be made so that without animals they will move with unbelievable rapidity,” and “flying machines can be constructed by which artificial wings are made to beat the air like a flying bird.” He also predicted steamships, submarines and diving suits.
3. The people we tend to refer to as medieval peasants wouldn’t have recognized the word “peasant” at all: it was a 15th century French term.
4. There are records of animals being taken to court for killing people, or occasionally for smaller crimes. Some mice were publicly tried for stealing part of the harvest and in another case a swarm of locusts was convicted of eating crops.
5. The famous Battle of Hastings did not take place in Hastings! It was actually waged at Senlac Hill – which is about 6 miles (10km) north-west of Hastings.
6. One possible origin to the nursery rhyme “London Bridge is falling down” is in 1014 when the Saxons rowed up the Thames, tied ropes to it, and pulled it down.
7. England used to be the native home of Wolverines, but they became extinct around the 11th century. In latter parts of the Middle Ages, wolverines were imported into England for sport.
8. Contrary to popular belief, medieval English people bathed quite regularly in public baths designed for that purpose. This was due to the belief that “cleanliness is next to Godliness”.
9. The Barber’s pole symbolizes blood and bandages, as most barbers also performed the roles of surgeons and dentists in their towns. Bandages stained with blood would be washed and hung from a pole outside the barber’s shop – these would then twist in the wind to form the spiral pattern we are all familiar with today.
10. Prior to the introduction of surnames in England in 1066, everyone born had just one name. When surnames were introduced they would often include a nickname – such as Robert Red (symbolic of his hair color). If Robert went bald over time, his name could change to “Robert Ball” (ball meaning bald in Middle English).
While you’re thinking about those, let me whet your appetite and tell you a bit about Sweet Bea.
cloudy when she was close to him. He’d never said the words, but he touched her like he loved her.
“Where will you go?” The thought of him leaving opened a yawning pit beneath her. This must be love. It could be nothing else. Since he had come at summer’s beginning, the loneliness hadn’t existed. With him, she was whole. She belonged. If he left, he would take that away. Her life would be gray again. Gray and boring and the same, day after cursed day.
It so nearly echoed her thoughts tears flooded her eyes. She blinked to stop them from spilling over.
“My sweet, sweet girl.” He tugged her to him.
Beatrice burrowed into his chest, willing the world to fall away and let her rest here forever.
Beatrice shivered. Her family would kill Garrett if they knew.
She shook her head. It didn’t matter to her.
“I do not want a paladin. I want you.” With everything in her, she wanted Garrett.
Pretty sure the lie is about the wolverines. They are not native to England.
Leslie, you’re a winner, girl. They are found mainly in North America and only a total idiot would try and train one. It was in fact BROWN BEARS that were native to England and went extinct.

The gingerbread was simple enough to make - just a few minutes to prep and then two hours to chill in the refrigerator. A few bakers noted that their dough was too dry, but I had no such issues with mine. The more time consuming aspect was (obviously) the assembly and decoration of the gingerbread house. I wish I could have made mine more elaborate, but with only short spurts of time available to me today, I had to go simple. I made a half recipe of gingerbread and a full recipe of royal icing and that seemed to be just right for my little house.
Thanks Anna and Y, for hosting this month's challenge. It was fun making my very first gingerbread house. Make sure you check out the Daring Bakers' Blogroll to see all the other wonderful creations.
1. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until blended. Add the cinnamon, ginger and cloves. Mix the baking soda with the boiling water and add to the dough along with the flour. Mix to make a stiff dough. (*Make sure you don't overmix the dough initially as you'll over develop the gluten and make your dough tough and shrinky.) If necessary add more water, a tablespoon at a time. Chill 2 hours or overnight.
Beat all ingredients until smooth, adding the powdered sugar gradually to get the desired consistency (I used about 2.5 cups of powdered sugar). Pipe on pieces and allow to dry before assembling. If you aren't using it all at once you can keep it in a small bowl, loosely covered with a damp towel for a few hours until ready to use. You may have to beat it slightly to get it an even consistency if the top sets up a bit. Piped on the house, this will set up hard over time.
I'm glad you baked when your baby slept, ahahah! Your house is quite adorable! I like the peppermint roof!
i really like your icicles!
That's really cute! I like the crushed candy on the roof and the marshmallow snow!
I'm glad you were able to bake when your baby slept - so cute! How fun to have a new baby at Christmas time! Have a wonderful new year!
Your house is amazing! I love the icicles the most. Good work! I'm hoping to try this one next year.
Ooh, I can almost smell all that peppermint just looking at the pictures! And I wish snow was really made of marshmallows - I'd want to go out in it all the time! Unless it was melting...sticky icky. Your house is really cute, great job!
I love the crushed peppermint roof...what a fun idea! And the icicles are just perfect!
Great job! I love the peppermint roof.
Your house is beautiful. Can I move in??? Everything is so creative.
Great, don't I feel like a loser. With a newborn baby and all the holiday "stuff" going on you still manage to make a gingerbread house AND blog about it. This month I barely remember my name and where's my oven? :) Great job, Jaime!
Your house is just fantastic! Happy New Year!

You'll notice that throughout YourAgingParent.com, some underlying themes are repeated. When you, the caregiver, are facing a particular issue or concern it can be helpful to keep these reference points in mind.
--Love and respect: No matter how old you and your parent are, the lifetime bond between you is like no other. Now as an adult it's probably easier for you to realize that this relationship is seldom ideal and never perfect, but it remains a tremendously important factor. As the adult child of an aging parent, you're now being given the opportunity -- the challenge -- to "honor" your mother and father in a new, a different and a more demanding way.
--Self-determination: It's still your parent's life, not yours. You're there to assist, not take over. As long as your parent is competent, he or she should be included in decisions and those choices should be respected.
--Normalization: A basic goal for you is to help your parent continue to lead the same lifestyle he or she has been leading and wants to keep leading (provided, of course, that lifestyle is not undermining his or her health or safety). The challenge is to begin with the minimum amount of help or change that's necessary, and then, as needed, gradually increase it.
--Communication: Planning early and talking often -- even about difficult subjects -- will help you and your parent avoid having to work things out in the middle of a crisis.
--Support: There are a number of support systems for both you and your aging parent. In addition to family, friends, neighbors and members of the parish, there are both professional and peer-group systems of support that can be extremely helpful.
--Ongoing process: The aging process never stops and each step along the way can bring new challenges for both you and your parent. As your parent's health deteriorates, your traditional roles as adult and child -- the one who has always provided the help and the one who needed that help -- may continue to fluctuate or reverse. These changes are new for both of you and can seem overwhelming. Remember that neither of you has to be an expert at this. Both of you can learn, together.
--Solutions: Most often there are no quick fixes to your parent's increasing needs. There are no simple answers. Keep in mind that even the best solution is only temporary. As your parent's situation changes, and it will, even the best answer will have to be reviewed and reworked.
Throughout YourAgingParent.com you will also be encouraged to consider the emotions you're feeling -- anger, fear, worry, grief and so on -- and realize your mother or father has similar feelings but maybe for very different reasons. And your emotions may not match. Mom is grieving because so many of her friends have died and you're feeling guilty about not spending enough time with your spouse and children. Dad is afraid of his upcoming surgery and you're angry that Medicare regulations seem so complicated.
What each of you faces is not easy. There is no way to avoid these feelings. Our goal is to help you acknowledge them and realize they're normal. To offer you some tips for coping with them.
When we write about physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual needs, we're writing about your needs as well as your parent's. And while this book was written primarily for you, it can also be of value to your siblings who might not be the front-line caregiver you are and don't seem to have a clue of what you're going through.
And if both your parents are still alive, YourAgingParent.com can help your healthy parent better understand and acknowledge what is happening.
In some areas -- such as medical, financial and legal issues -- the information here is offered strictly from a lay person's point of view. We will help you raise questions and can offer suggestions for where to turn for learning more but we are not giving medical, financial or legal advice. For that you need to consult a physician or other health-care professional, financial advisor or lawyer.
Caring for an aging parent can be bewildering because it all seems so new and strange. At each stage of your own life -- as a preschooler, grade-schooler, adolescent, young adult and adult -- the relationship between you and your parent changed as you both adapted to the realities of growing up, growing older. The same is true now.
As an adult child caring for an aging parent, you are at another point along that same continuum. And while in many ways it can be the most demanding point for each of you, it can also be the most rewarding. It can be a time to draw closer. An opportunity to say "I love you and thank God for you." A chance to say good-bye.

text: This publication outlines the relevance of turbulence on the initiation of motion of soil and explains the interaction between the load and the resistance against erosion or the strength of the bed material. The stability of stones, sand, clay and grass is discussed by using Newton’s second law and a definition of the turbulence energy. Usually the equilibrium scour depth caused by jets and at piers/abutments is predicted by applying empirical relations. This publication discusses a scour approach which is based on two steps. First, a control volume that represents the scour hole is considered. Secondly, the relevant forces are determined. Newton’s second law is applied, that is, the sum of forces equals zero since the scour hole is in equilibrium. This approach is discussed for different types of jet scour and scouring downstream of sills and near bridge piers and abutments.

VeerKisaan Pond Liner is a state of art modern multi-layer reinforced HDPE pond lining product useful for water harvesting and environment control for the agriculture and farming industry.
VeerKisaan Pond Liner represents innovation in India’s lining technology, offering easy installation and higher strength, making a smarter choice for water management in all agricultural industries.
VeerKisaan Pond Liner is multilayered reinforced HDPE lining product, suited for water management in farming and agriculture industries and often in landscaping.
Whenever possible, site selection should avoid areas where flooding or ground water pressure can occur. The lining “bottom” should be well above the water table. If the site selected is in an area where organics are in the soil, or if gases can be generated by chemical reaction, the design must allow for venting.
The subgrade surface should provide a unyielding foundation for the VeerKisaan Pond Liner with no sharp or abrupt changes or break in grade. Proper compaction assures stability and support of the liner.
Rough ground and standing water, mud, snow – any excessive moisture – is counter productive for liner deployment.
A good design for an under drain is to pipe it to the outside of the lake into a gravel sump. This allows the sump to run continuously during construction and, with the placement of an upright at this sump, the under drain can be pumped if needed to relieve hydrostatic pressure and gas buildup under the lining system.
Side slopes should be no steeper than 3:1 whenever feasible. Slopes are usually hand-raked to achieve proper smoothness.
It is recommended that the liners panels’ protective covering not be removed until installation and that any uncovered panels be stored out of direct sunlight.
Dirt removed should be raked out flat on the far side of the trench, away from the pit, to be used to backfill after the liner edges are laid out in the anchor trench, while allowing the panels to be unrolled along the berm. Slightly rounding corners of the trench avoids sharp bends in the VeerKisaan Pond Liner. The trench itself needs to be free of loose soil and rocks.
Take time when unloading and placing rolls of lining to avoid damage. Verify the location of a panel or sheet before unrolling and placement to avoid improper alignment. Sandbags are required to keep the panels in place during installation, exposed or covered. Care should be taken to avoid wrinkles in the seam areas and around mechanical attachments.
It takes considerable manpower to deploy a liner. It is “pulled” but not stretched. Minor wrinkles insure the liner is installed in a relaxed condition.
A ballast system (sand bags) and anchor trenches are used for all VeerKisaan Pond Liner installations.
The lining material itself determines the types of field seaming techniques used. The most commonly used process is heat fusion welding, which can be done with hot air or hot wedge.

The notice below the sign announces a July 10 public hearing on the Hickory Hollow project.
Building apartments in North Albany is tougher than the zoning makes it appear, as shown by an appeal against the first such project the city staff has approved.
In May the Albany planning staff had approved a site plan for “Hickory Hollow,” a 48-unit complex of four three-story apartment buildings on 2.25 acres north of Hickory Street, west of North Albany Road. The zoning of the parcel allows apartments, and the staff determined that the project met the requirements of the Albany development code.
What the neighbors would like, according to a letter bearing the names of 14 individuals or couples, is for the two planned apartment buildings closest to single-family houses to be reduced from three to two floors. That would presumably reduce the number of units in the project to 40.
“We request this change to make the proposed complex more compatible with existing surrounding development in the area,” the neighbors’ letter said.
The appeal cost the neighbors a $269 filing fee. They probably figure it’s worth not having people looking down into their back yards from the third floor.
In response to the appeal, the Albany Planning Commission has scheduled a public hearing on the site plan for 5:15 pm. Monday, July 10, at City Hall. I had followed the Hickory Hollow project since January, but (not living in the area) I wasn’t aware of the appeal and scheduled hearing until I rode my bike past the property this week and saw the public notice among all the brambles. Just goes to show you it pays to notice signs and stop to read what they say.
One ought take pity for the downtrodden North Albanians. After all, their once pristine section of paradise is about to become home to the “Great Unwashed,” folks who do not own their home. Soon, North Albanians fear, the affected neighborhood’s will be cluttered with wrecked cars that never move, rotting 5th Wheels that melt on the street, gap-toothed children who may or may not respect the North Albany ethos. Yes, the North Albanians are screaming, “Not in my backyard.” There is no room for renters in the rent-free, virginal plat that is North Albany. Just wait til Walmart decides to move in.
Oh there are plenty of rentals in N.A. Simply wait for that first wave of sellers of all the new construction. It is happening now as “investors” swoop to buy the for sales. No longer owner occupied could lead to that which you describe JH. Depicted so perfectly.
If you want to see the parking problems, come to the 1600 block of Oak St. S.E. . There’s not enough parking for the residents, so they park on the street.

Attendance was down on recent years, but it was still very competitive on the water and very sociable off the water. In this one design class boats ranged from the latest epoxy creations to the traditional varnished wooden boats. Two of the top three were over twenty years old, Tony Prior built boats.
An interesting development this year was the number of fathers attending with their daughters. The girls both sailed and partied hard!
In the first day of racing, Monday, 3 races were held in a nice F3 out in the bay. Phil and Laura Bevan won the first race, followed by Dave and Beth Porter (note the “father / daughter” theme). Race 2 and 3 were won by Jeremy and Rebecca Stephens (another “father / daughter” team).
The second day brought more wind, F4. This proved to the liking of Paul Hobson and Craig Wheatley who banged in two bullets in races 4 and 5. There was a slight drama during race 5 when Paul and Craig got to the windward mark only to realise they had no idea where the wing mark was. The fleet blindly followed them towards the shore, until eventually the mark was spotted way downwind. The fleet then peeled off to go virtually side by side down what was now a run. Martin and Abigail came second in race 4 and Jeremy and Rebecca second in race 5.
Racing resumed on the Thursday after the lay-day. Race 6 was held in light winds F2/3 with the windward mark under the cliffs towards Pwllheli. This resulted in some big holes and interesting wind shifts. There were some big place changes; one of the more dramatic being when Phil and Laura whilst near the front of the fleet took an extreme left route on the second beat leaving the rest of the fleet to head out to sea – only to lose at least 10 places. At the end, it was the reigning National Champion, Tim Sadler sailing with Millie Pryke that mastered the conditions to get the win.
For the second race of the day (race 7), the course was re-set towards the west in better wind. A slight pin bias and a favoured left side saw the leading group of boats emerge from there. Phil and Jane, Phil and Laura, and Tim and Millie, rounded the windward mark in that order. These three pulled out ahead and after a close battle, it was Tim and Millie who got their second win of the day, followed by Phil and Jane, then Phil and Laura.
The forecast for Friday had always been rather scary looking. So, when the fleet gathered on the beach with the wind howling, there was more than a degree of trepidation. However, this turned out to be one of those days that anyone taking part will never forget. What followed was “the mother of all dinghy races”, a day of drama, for some a day of carnage. Getting down to the start was exhilarating enough, but then the wind and waves increased!
The beat was hard work with mains frequently flogging. Down the first run Jeremy and Rebecca showed outstanding (foolhardy, idiotic) downwind speed to fly past Phil and Laura to lead through the gate. It was the same story on the second lap.Yet again Jeremy and Rebecca went for broke and let it rip downwind. They sneaked into the lead just before the finish, but having sailed hotter angles needed to do two extra gybes to get through the gate. This allowed Phil and Laura to get on the inside and claim their second race win.
With the points all added up it was a clear and well deserved overall win for Jeremy and Becca Stephens. They finished in the top 10 in all races with a discard of 7th. This is their first National Championship victory and are a popular and well-liked team. Phil Ford and Jane Humpage came second, for the second time in a row, with Phil and Laura Bevan in third.

It's official. No, really, it is! The Nokia N82 is finally out and rolling with the official Nokia specifications. There's nothing new to it, rumors have already got it right. There is some exciting news about it though - the Nokia N82 will be shipping as of now - effective immediately. In case you wonder how much it will cost, read on.
The Nokia N82 specs include HSDPA with video calls and quad-band GSM support. The 100MB of integrated memory is complemented by the microSD memory slot. The 2.4" 16M color QVGA TFT display is not as large as the one of Nokia N95 however we feel that the N82 will be a strong contender to the N95 flagship.
The Nokia N82 is pretty much identical in hardware to the N95. It has 5 megapixel autofocus camera with Carl Zeiss optics, it can capture 30fps MPEG4 videos at VGA resolution, and has a TV-out port to watch those on your TV set. You also have A-GPS that works with Nokia Maps. Compatibility with third-party software is not confirmed yet. The N82 however flaunts a xenon flash which is a first for Nokia but a really popular feature among users and again, there's the screen auto-rotation.
As we already said the Nokia N82 will start shipping as of today (in order to make it for Christmas) and will be selling for around EUR 450 before taxes and subsidies with a 2GB memory card included, which seems like a rather reasonable price tag for all that massive functionality. Unforturnately, the long-awaited new N-Gage service will take some time and will go up and running later on this year.
nokia n82 is very crazy phone!!! i can't wait to have it!!! really!!!

A tomahawk cut can be taken from either a cow or a pig: beef tomahawk is usually a ribeye steak attached to the short rib; ‘tomapork’, as it’s affectionately known at Northfield Farm, is a pork chop with the belly still attached. Both are great for sharing; the latter is exceptionally good on the barbecue, sealed till crisp and golden then cooked through for 20 minutes.
While a highly traditional feature on the butcher’s counter, you won’t find collar bacon among the generic back and streaky in supermarkets. Taken from the fleshy part that runs from the shoulder to the neck of the pig, this is the closest bacon comes to being marbled. Its pleasing ratio of meaty goodness to fatty creaminess means it’s intensely flavoursome and crisps up like an absolute dream.
The traditional basis for scouse—the meat stew so popular on Merseyside it became a slang term for Liverpudlians—scrag end is taken from the lamb’s neck, but isn’t the same as the more familiar fleshy, fillet-like neck cut. This is a hard-working muscle, sold on the bone. It requires some attention when cooking, which should be done over several hours, but a little patience will reward both palate and pocket.
Better-known in the United States as ‘hanger’ steak, onglet is found hanging (hence the American moniker) from the diaphragm. Don’t let the fact this dark red muscle has very little fat—and that it’s quite, well, fibrous—scare you out of cooking it: flash frying for a couple of minutes each side is all it takes. Serve with something punchy and strong-flavoured—it can certainly hold its own.
The barnsley chop is most closely associated with lamb, but it also makes for a tasty cut of venison. At Shellseekers Fish and Game, you’ll find it in the form of deep red wild sika meat, shot by owner Darren himself and butchered on site. Cook it in much the same way you would lamb, but be aware of its relative leanness. For maximum tenderness, ensure you allow plenty of time for the meat to rest before serving.

Of course, successful bodybuilding is the sum of many parts, but, if there were to be one single aspect which will halt your progress point blank quicker than any other, that would be diet. Without a good muscle building diet you can kiss any ideas of a great physique goodbye.
For instance, many have muddled through with less-than-perfect technique, unorthodox workouts, and even sub-par exercises – even doing 5-6 and 7 day-a-week workouts and have made improvements to their physique, but, without a good diet, there simply is no way to build the muscle.
Now we’ve established how important diet is, let’s take a look at 5 of the key muscle building diet tips that, if followed, will get you off to a good start.
1. Eat more than your body needs. Some don’t count calories at all, instead counting portions, while others know exactly how many calories they need. This isn’t something any BMR calculation can tell you point blank, those are only estimations, ideas. My suggestion is to first of all count how many calories you are already eating on a daily basis. If you’ve managed to stay at the same weight for a while, that means the calories you’ve been consuming is an accurate assessment of your maintenance level. You must consistently eat above you maintenance level (try 250-500 calories a day above) to grow muscle.
2. Have the ‘correct’ ratio of macronutrients make up your total calories. First of all, I emphasize correct because really, there is no correct, magical formula. Much of it comes down to personal preference or knowing which your body works best on.
Higher protein intake is shown to increase and maximise muscle growth, and help to keep the body in a positive nitrogen balance, so many opt for having 1-2grams of protein per pound of bodyweight per day. So, if that’s the case, you have 2 other macronutrients, carbohydrates and fats, to make up the remainder of your overall calories.
Next up is carbohydrates. Forget simple carbohydrates. More or less, they are absorbed straight away into the bloodstream as a ready source of energy, and if they aren’t burned quickly – as in, 20 minutes on the exercise bike, quickly – then you are going to see them turn to fat.
Go for complex carbs. Things like potatoes, pasta, and brown rice. These digest much slower, giving you more time to burn them off, and leaving less potential for them to be stored as fat.
Don’t be frightened of having high fat in your diet. Healthy fats, such as fish oil and dietary fats are good. High fat when building muscle helps to boost testosterone, and won’t make you fat – quite the contrary: high testosterone helps to burn fat.
So, with the macronutrients mentioned, a good split could be 50% protein, 25% carbs, and 25% fats, making up the total amount of calories you need to grow.
3. Eat little, but often. A big mistake many make when trying to build muscle is going too long without food, particularly protein. When muscles are broken down and are trying to repair, they need regular protein to maintain the positive nitrogen balance. That’s why many take to protein shakes, for convenience. Eating every 3 hours is a good idea. Small amounts, rather than big ones are all that is needed. Simply ensure you get around 6 small meals a day, all including a good amount of protein, and you’ll be fine on that score.
4. Carbs pre-and-post workout is recommended. Because carbs are the first thing to be used by the body for energy, that means, a high carb diet will put you at increased risk of putting fat on unless the carbs are burned off quickly. That’s why it’s not so much of a good idea to eat high carbs all day long. Rather, eat a good amount of carbs pre-workout, to fuel your workout, and also a good amount after, to help you to recover glycogen stores and aid in muscle recovery. Those two meals, then, should make up the bulk of your overall carb ratio for the day. Avoiding carbs before bed is also a must, because you simply don’t burn much energy at all during sleep, so having high amounts of carbs in your system will simply put you at increased risk of becoming fat.
5. Have a weekly cheat meal. Of course, ‘cheating’ makes you sound like a naughty schoolboy. But, the best results come from absolute dedication. Unfortunately, most of us aren’t robots, and we do want rewarding from time to time – and cheat meals are just the reward. Think about it: you’ve ate well all week long, food which you don’t particularly enjoy as much as your favourites… so… where’s the harm in replacing a meal or two for that day for a nice pizza?
Doing this will remind you that what you are doing is a good thing, and keep you focussed and on the ball preventing you from becoming bored and disillusioned with your diet.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. This first meal in the morning is the key that determines your energy, mood, and motivation. Thus, even if you do not have much of an appetite and mornings can be stressful, make time to prepare and eat breakfast. It is the key to health.
Lunch, like any other meals, should be eaten without haste. The portions should be filling that dinner meal may not be necessary. Every lunch meal should consist of the 4 food groups: fruit, vegetable, grains, & legumes. Give yourself 4 to 5 hours in between meals to rest. That way your body has time to rest.
Supper should be the lightest meal of the day. If you are used to prepare dinner in the evening, it is wise to use this time to chop your vegetables or cook the legumes for the next day’s breakfast and lunch. A healthy dinner will consist of salad, steamed vegetable and/or whole grains/legumes.
Eating has much to do with religion. The spiritual experience is greatly affected by the way in which the stomach is treated. Eating and drinking in accordance with the laws of health promote virtuous actions.
Using whole plant-based food will boost your immune system, balance your hormones, increase your energy level, enhance your digestive health, reverse chronic illness and makes you feel and look younger. Take time to chew and bite your food before swallowing. Eat in a relaxed environment. Enjoy each bite and taste the food.

If confinement is a possible punishment for a juvenile, the juvenile must have waived his or her right to an attorney before the adjudication can be used to enhance a later adult conviction for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol (OVI), the Ohio Supreme Court held today.
A juvenile’s right to counsel is protected by due process at every stage of legal proceedings, Justice Judith Ann Lanzinger wrote in the 4-3 decision.
In this case, the court determined that the 2011 sentence for Jason T. Bode was wrongly enhanced when a juvenile OVI offense was counted as one of five prior OVI convictions. State law elevates an OVI misdemeanor offense to a fourth-degree felony if the offender previously pled guilty to or was convicted of five or more OVI violations. However, the Supreme Court concluded that Bode’s juvenile adjudication could not be counted because he had no attorney during the juvenile proceeding and had not waived his right to counsel.
The decision returns the case to the trial court to resentence Bode and reverses the judgment of the Fifth District Court of Appeals.
In 1992, the juvenile court found that Bode had committed the equivalent of OVI if he had been an adult. During the hearing, Bode was not represented by an attorney and did not waive counsel. As an adult, he was convicted for OVI four times between 1996 and 1999. In 2011, he was again convicted for OVI offenses.
Justice Lanzinger reasoned that juveniles have the right to counsel if actual confinement is a possibility for the alleged offenses.
Based on provisions in R.C. 4511.19(G)(1)(d), the 2011 misdemeanor crimes were enhanced to fourth-degree felonies because of Bode’s earlier offenses, including his juvenile adjudication. State law requires an additional prison term of one to five years when convicted under the enhancement specification.
The trial court sentenced Bode to three years in prison plus a suspended 54 months of confinement with five years of community control, a lifetime driver’s license suspension, vehicle forfeiture, fines, court costs, and fees. He appealed, and the Fifth District affirmed the trial court’s decision.
Justice Lanzinger explained that a juvenile adjudication can be counted when determining whether an offender has had five OVI convictions under R.C. 4511.19(G)(1)(d) because state law considers a juvenile adjudication to be a “conviction” when imposing a sentence for later offenses.
However, as a minor Bode had no attorney representation. Justice Lanzinger reasoned that juveniles have the right to counsel if actual confinement is a possibility for the alleged offenses. This right stems from the due process provisions in the U.S. and Ohio constitutions as well as from former R.C. 2151.352, which was in effect in 1992 at the time of Bode’s juvenile case, she noted.
The court also reviewed its 2007 ruling in State v. Brooke, which involved adult convictions. In that case, the court decided the state may not automatically use an adult’s earlier, uncounseled conviction to enhance a later violation of the OVI statute if the offender’s right to counsel in the earlier case was violated because a proper waiver was not made. “This rule must apply to juveniles as well,” Justice Lanzinger concluded.
While noting that the U.S. Supreme Court limits the right to counsel to those cases in which actual incarceration is imposed, Justice Lanzinger stressed that states are empowered to grant greater rights than those in the federal constitution.
Also, a 2014 Ohio Supreme Court ruling (State v. Schleiger) held that the right to counsel exists in critical stages of a criminal proceeding for a felony. While Bode’s juvenile offense would have been a misdemeanor for an adult, Justice Lanzinger reasoned that Bode still faced possible confinement and had a right to an attorney.
“Unless evidence of a valid waiver of counsel is shown, the uncounseled juvenile disposition may not be used [to enhance a later sentence],” she concluded.
Joining the majority opinion were Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor and Justices Paul E. Pfeifer and William M. O’Neill. Justice Judith L. French dissented in an opinion joined by Justices Terrence O’Donnell and Sharon L. Kennedy.
Justice French wrote that the U.S. Supreme Court has held the constitutional right to counsel in misdemeanor cases arises when there is actual, not possible, imprisonment. This actual imprisonment standard applies only in misdemeanor cases, and Schleiger is not relevant here because it involved felonies, she reasoned.
While Justice French agreed with the majority that states may provide greater rights than those in the federal constitution, she believes Brooke provides precedent that the court must follow in this case.
“In Brooke, … we held that ‘[a]n uncounseled conviction cannot be used to enhance the penalty for a later conviction if the earlier conviction resulted in a sentence of confinement,’” she wrote. “There is no possible way to characterize our statements in Brooke as just a passing nod to ‘the facts of that case,’” as the majority indicated.
Justice French would have allowed Bode’s penalties for the 2011 OVIs to be increased based on counting his juvenile offense, even though he had no attorney then, and she would have affirmed the Fifth District’s judgment.
2013-1044. State v. Bode, Slip Opinion No. 2015-Ohio-1519.

One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret.

At Alpine Gutters & Downspouts, we wanted to share a few tips on important summer maintenance for healthy gutters giving you pointers on how you can keep your gutters and downspouts running smoothly all year long. As you might know, maintenance plays an important role on how long and how well your gutters function, so do not delay, when it comes to these important and straightforward tasks.
Why is it so important to clean your gutters? Well, gutter systems play a significant role in keeping water, snow, and ice away from your home’s interior and surroundings. If water works its way into the home, the damage can be irreversible and supremely disappointing. Standing or stagnant water is also a breeding ground for mosquitos that could potentially carry the Zika virus. Let’s not forget, that gutter systems can be expensive, so if you properly maintain these systems, you can look at getting at least 20 to 30 years out of them, and that is worth the effort!
CLEAN: This may be the most important factor to maintaining your gutter system. You will need to get rid of all debris such as leaves, twigs, nests, pests, needles and muck. Grab a small soft brush and soap to gently scrub away dirt, and in the meantime check for damage to the system. Carry a marker with you to mark the points of concern so that a professional can have a quick guide as to where there may be a problem. Next, you need to grab a hose and pour water down the gutters and the downspouts to check for any leaks. Check your roof at this point to see if there is any damage, as the roof and the gutter system usually works hand in hand. Remember to visually inspect the entire system for any weak areas.
CHECK THE SLOPE: Gutters need to be sloped towards the downspout at about 1/8″ per foot to keep the water flowing properly. Improper slopes are generally the cause of leaks entering the home, so if you are unsure, have a professional check it out. That could be a grave mistake made if overlooked!
PROPER DRAINAGE: Ensure that your system is draining well, away from your home or landscaping. If you see any pooling or standing water, this will need to be addressed immediately to avoid sidewalk and driveway damage, plant and tree damage, and even roof damage.
REPAIRS: Have a professional like Alpine Gutters & Downspouts come in to do any necessary gutter repair. Sagging gutters could mean an improperly installed system, needing attention immediately, as it could collapse. You can fix a leak quickly by applying silicone caulking or adhesive, but remember, you may need some reinforced components installed to ensure it lasts through the winter months. It is never a good idea to hastily cover up the problem, as the repair usually won’t make it through a season.
GUTTER GUARDS: These will most definitely make your life simpler in the long run. You may want to consider a few systems out there, generally coming as screens, inserts or reverse curves. One such system is the Leaf Relief system. This system virtually eliminates maintenance and is completely weather and pest resistant. They will fit standard gutters and are available in a variety of material options. Leaf Relief will always keep water flowing and never clog or overflow, is 100% effective in keeping leaves, debris, and pine needles away, and it comes with a 10-year warranty. Check out our page on Leaf Relief to get a better understanding of why we offer this phenomenal gutter protection system.
You have many options for gutters and downspouts out there, so if you are looking to replace an old or worn out system, summer maintenance for healthy gutters includes doing your research on what gutter system you can afford and which style will work well with your lifestyle and home. From seamless gutters to K-style gutters, half round gutters, and a variety of materials such as vinyl, aluminum, copper, steel, zinc and more, you will never be short of ideas for what will work and look best for your home. Sit down with our professionals to go over all the questions you may have.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU CLEAN: This depends on your area, and the degree of weather patterns during the year, but a general rule of thumb is to have gutters cleaned twice a year at least. The initial cleaning should take place in late fall when most of the leaves have fallen and winter in on its way. And the second cleaning would be in the spring or early summer when pollen and flowers are abundant. Anyone living in a heavily wooded area may find they have to clean 3 to 4 times a year. It is important to examine and visually inspect your gutter systems often and thoroughly.
If you do plan on cleaning the gutters yourself, be sure to have a safe and sturdy ladder, preferably a spotter to hold it, and the proper attire, such as gloves, sturdy footwear, eyewear, a bucket to collect debris, and a scoop of some sort to clean. Remember to not lean the ladder against your gutters which is dangerous and may cause more damage.
HOW MUCH FOR A PROFESSIONAL GUTTER CLEANING? The length and type of gutters, as well as the height of the home, are going to affect the cost of a professional gutter cleaning. Most companies charge a flat fee per foot of gutter, but the price can rise depending on how difficult the job is.
Summer maintenance for healthy gutters is a breeze with the help of Alpine Gutters & Downspouts. We are the gutter professionals since 1977, and our expertise in this industry has made us a leader in the area for all gutter home protection needs. We always suggest calling a professional gutter company for cleaning, repairs and even new gutter installation, because it can lead to dangerous conditions and even avoidable injuries.

Honestly nothing beats the world created by this man. There is so much detail in his work that you will create the entire middle earth in your head and can actually feel yourself traversing through it as the story progresses. I have read this entire series over 10 times till now and each time there is something new that I take away from it. If you love reading then this one is something that you really need to pick at least once in your lifetime.
Rowling stole everyone’s heart with this beautiful story of a boy, his gift and his courage. There is good reason for all the mania behind this. From a little boy who was mistreated and thought he was alone to a young adult facing the greatest evil and fulfilling his destiny, the series will have you gripped. I don’t mean in a page turner kind of way but more of a tugging at your heart and imagination. Very well written. Just keep all your perception and thoughts to one side and pick this one up to get lost in a world of wonder and awakening your inner child.
I recently came across this series by Clare and fell in love it head over heels. This book has everything that I love the most – Victorian era, supernatural, magic, love, kick a$$ heroine and fall-in-love worthy men 😉 If you love this genre and any of the words I mentioned above then do pick it up. Great engaging read. I finished this off and then went on to read a series which is connected to it comprising of over 5 books. I have become a huge fan of this author and will be keep a closing eye on her future releases.
To satisfy my insatiable urge to read I had joined a library awhile back and came across this series for the first time. OMG! I was completely hooked. Story about a warlock and how he faces the supernatural thrown in his path. What is really nice about it is the sort of vulnerability that the hero has in the sense that though he is a warlock but that does not mean that it makes him a superhero. He has his breaking points, fears, cowardice and then in the face of odds stacked up against him he comes through by sheer will and a hint of madness to save the people he loves. Sometimes he succeeds and at times he does not. A fabulous series to read and if you get the audio version then try to get your hands on the one read by James Masters. Honestly the man brings the book to life in such an awesome manner that you will find yourself living the action sequences of the book.
I will fully confess here that I love reading young adult books. The ones with mystery and hints of supernatural are my ultimate fav. I want a book to take me away to a land far away and scintillate my imagination. I really don’t like reading “real” books so much coz they talk about a world so full of hate and misdeeds mirroring the world as it is. One gets enough of it through the news and papers that I don’t want a book to do the same for me. Hence my choice of genre is a means of escape to a world full of wonder, mystery and hope. There are so many more books that I love that I can fill pages and pages telling you about them 🙂 But with great constraint I’m ending this post here. How do you like my selection? Are any of these your favorite? What is your choice of genre? Waiting to hear from you. Take care!

Modest in size, but of great historic interest, the white clapboard Dingletown Church on Stanwich Road was built at the corner of Dingletown Road in 1845. The name, Dingletown, is believed to refer to the tinkling of the bells worn by the dairy cows that grazed in the surrounding pasturelands of the day.
Earlier in 1839, Henry Lockwood had sold land for the church to James Jarman, William Ferris, David Johns and Gideon Lounsbury, retaining a temporary interest for himself as one of the church founders.
The Lounsbury family had been in America since the early-to-mid-17th century, as had the Lockwoods, who arrived in Watertown, Mass. in 1630, after sailing on the Arabella from England’s Isle of Wight to Cape Ann with Governor Winthrop’s fleet. The Lockwood family can trace its roots at least as far back as 1390 and Baron Roger de Lockwood.
The group, in turn, sold the land to the Eastern Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church¸ the Methodist Protestant Society, the Horseneck Society of the Church and the Methodist Protestant Church at North Cos Cob. The building is thought to be the oldest frame church throughout Greenwich.
Even earlier¸ the congregation, formed in 1830, had been part of the Bedford Society, meeting around and about, probably at the homes of various members. A circuit rider, a clergyman who was responsible for two, or more rural parishes, tended to their spiritual needs.
In 1845, when the church opened, attendance at the church for Sunday services, lasting all day were compulsory, with fines levied for non-compliance.
As late as 1921, the one-and-a-half story church was still heated by a pot-bellied stove and lit by candles sitting in pewter sconces, along with oil lamps.
After the death of the minister, Dr. Alfred Lunning, in 1935, the church was closed, and the building was purchased by Dr. William Darrach, a neighbor, in order to preserve the historic landmark. During WWII, when gasoline was rationed, the church was reopened, and services began once again. As well, the church, which seats 80 to 100, became non-denominational and today is open to residents of all religious faiths.
Dr. Darrach was a professor of clinical surgery at Columbia’s College of Physicians and Surgeons of which he was a graduate.
Nearby was a carriage barn and a manse, or parish house, that were church property¸ a schoolhouse as well as a blacksmith’s that was part of a general store.
By 1959, the surrounding land was deemed too small, and the church was lifted onto rollers and wheeled up the road for almost a mile to the corner of Barnstable Lane where it remains today. The bell tower was left behind, and a new octagonal needle spire atop a square tower with arched windows on all sides crowns the building. The bell inside, once the locomotive of a Maine railroad, was the gift of a church member, as was the steeple.
The church of one-and-a-half stories has a gable front and twelve-over-twelve shuttered windows run around the exterior. The rear elevation has two windows and a central fanlight, and a double, paneled door at the front welcomes visitors. Unpeeled logs formed the floor supports, and bent saplings the ceiling.
Inside is a barrel-vaulted ceiling and a flushboard wainscot extends around the building. A central aisle, with pews on either side, divides the nave, and a turned balustrade defines the chancel with its central paneled pulpit.
Behind the church is a circular memorial garden with a low rock wall and wooden benches, where services are occasionally conducted.

Thread: How does love work?
This is not a general question about love (I'm not meaning to trick you with the title) so much as it is about what books have you read on the topic? Do you consider there to be any authorities on the topic?
Love works through menstrual bonding.
Both males and females have a menstrual cycle, only the amplitude of women's menstrual cycle is higher than men's. And of course men have no menses, but men's bodies go through the same cycle as women.
We fall in love when our menstrual cycles are in synch. And interestingly when we are in olfactory contact for a substantial period, our menstrual cycles start cycling together. and we form menstrual bonding to prepare us for the care and raising of children.
The medical research on menstrual bonding was carries out by the Walter and Eliza Medical Institute in Melbourne, Australia.
Glad that the people who dont get the thread got their posts in early.
When you say "work" what do you mean .. the mechanism of it? My favorite description of love is akin to the velveteen rabbits segment on what is "real"
I was really just looking for people's recommended reads on the topic and used a title I thought would interest people enough to read the thread.
I bought a book on this subject years ago. I read it twice. It is made of more than 250 pages.
I draw a conclusion it is biological and chemical.
Lol..sorry but for what your really asking I have no contribution. Except maybe sperm wars was an interesting read on mate selection but that is not really "love" which is what your asking for.
