I am consistent in one thing...and that is change!
I have played with the awning idea for several days, and whatever I have done, it just didn't please me...so there comes a time to change the plan. My "new" alteration is to use the smaller dome idea on the Oriel windows, and I am MUCH happier with it. The other approach just didn't balance itself out in the big picture with what I had planned for the third floor.
I have gesso'd and sanded the dome pieces, using rough sandpaper and then a finer grained sandpaper to smooth out the surfaces. I've used 0000 steel wool to sand the surface, which leaves me with a very smooth surface to work with.
The "dome" is made from foamcore board and a "Downy UnStoppables Scent Booster" bottle top that I cut off and then cut in half. Such humble beginnings! I am back to being excited about where this thing is going...I have some ideas about how to treat the dome pieces that I think will be fun to do!
Consistent with a prediction for improving weather, the morning dawned clear and bright with not a whisper of wind. The reflection of Ragged Peak in Young Lake provided a lovely light show.

ZUG, SWITZERLAND: Financial investors and leaders of more than 30 different faith traditions representing over 500 faith investment groups from eight religions and billions of dollars in assets, met in Zug's beautiful Lassalle Haus retreat centre together with representatives of the UN and some key impact investment funds, for a unique international meeting on Faith in Finance. They are there because they have all agreed to set out and make public their priorities for positive investment – a huge shift from the faith tradition of saying, for ethical reasons, what they won’t invest in. Asking the question: “what do you do with your investments to make a better planet?” they will give huge impetus to a new movement of faith assets to funds where they have a positive “faith-consistent” impact. www.arcworld.org/projects.asp?projectID=674

Standup paddlers faced a steady headwind during the second Lake Erie North Shore Standup Saturday, said event founder and coordinator Katherine Balpataky.
“It was consistent … the waves weren’t overly technical, but they kept you on the ball, said Balpataky, who finished third in the 20-kilometre race.
It was the second year for the event, held to support Carolinian Canada’s Lake Erie Coastal Stewardship EcoTrail. The ecotrail highlights natural and cultural treasures of the lake’s 600-kilometre coastline from Essex to Niagara.
The race, which kicked off at Nickel Beach in Port Colborne, also saw five- and 10-kilometre races, said Balpataky.
The stop for the five-kilometre race was at Centennial Beach, and the 10-kilometre race ended at Pleasant Beach. The 20-kilometre race ended on the public beach at Crystal Beach.
“Most people were doing the five-kilometre race,” said Balpataky, adding there were just under 40 racers who signed up and took to the waters, including sponsors Larry and Cathy Boggio.
She said the headwinds, coming east down Lake Erie, would have made things challenging for beginners in the race.
“I just hope no one walked away feeling overly discouraged, given the number of people who didn’t finish the distance they intended to travel. I hope everyone walked away feeling good for just entering a paddle race and having fun on the water,” said Balpataky, who was happy with the day.
Ivan Dimic, who finished the 20-kilometre race first with a time of two hours and forty minutes, said the headwind and a wind from one side caused him to paddle on one side of his board.
“I didn’t alternate strokes, so it was a little tough,” the 53-year-old Toronto resident said.
It was his first time racing in the event; last year he helped Balpataky organize it.
Dimic has been standup paddling for nearly four years and races almost every weekend if he can.
Though most races are less than 10-kilometres in length, with some between 10 and 15-kilometres, Dimic doesn’t mind long ones.
Balpataky said most standup paddle races in Ontario tend to be six to eight-kilometres in length.
But even though the event was a race, she said it was also about getting people on the water to go past a beautiful shoreline view.
“We’ll have people go at a fast pace though.”
Balpataky, Dimic, and 20-kilometre second place finisher Mike Austin, all paddled on racing hulls.
Darryl Austin, owner of Ausmosis Style on Board and race sponsor, said Dimic is a very good racer and the board he used one was a 14-foot racing hull.
“They don’t get any lighter or faster. Ivan was probably going 8.5 km/h out there.”
Austin said Balpataky and Mike Autsin were on 12.6-foot Ausmosis racing hulls, and added racers in the 10-kilometre part of the event, would also have used racing hulls.
Balpataky said a unique guided hike of Marcy’s Woods in Holloway Bay, by the Bert Miller Nature Club, would take place Sunday.

If you read this website on a somewhat consistent basis, you'll see two things repeated quite often. 1. I'm just a complete sucker for the music of the 90's, the music released then will always just seem like the best to me. And 2. There has been a real resurgence in bands today taking cues and paying homage to bands from the 90's; which is A-OK by me. Of all of the 90's things to stage a little comeback, the one I expected the least, but probably love the most is all of these new bands that sound like the glory days of the mid to late 90's UK punk scene. I'll say it until I'm blue in the face, when bands like Broccoli, Hooton 3 Car and Chopper ruled the world, I never loved music more.
The 2 bands on this 7" not only take cues from that UK scene, several of the guys in these bands were actually part of it. First up we have The No Marks. They feature members of Crocodile God and Blocko. The 2 songs on their side of the 7" are phenomenal. They definitely have that Broccoli-esque raspy vocal thing and intricate guitar playing down, but I find them to be a bit poppier and perhaps slightly more lighthearted than Broccoli was. In particular the back and forth between clean guitar and fuzzy guitar on "About Tomorrow" really stands out as something unique.
Over on the flip side we've got Hyalin. A band made up of folks from Blocko and folks from one of my absolute current favorite bands Chestnut Road. All you really need to know is that of the 2 songs on this 7", one is a cover of the Broccoli song "Constance." It's great as is their original "Clear As Glass." If you imagined a band that sounded like a cross between Blocko and Chestnut Road, they would sound exactly like this.
This is just such a great 7" and really, everyone should check it out. While you're doing that, you really also should make sure you have every Broccoli, Blocko, Chestnut Road and Crocodile God record you can find. When you have all those don't forget Hooton 3 Car and Chopper. Oh and you should really grab that donFisher 7" that Crackle put out. So many record to buy...

The night practice at taekwondo provides a nice low light consistent environment to test lenses. I read somewhere that front-side teleconverters don't reduce the amount of light. Also, the TC-200 from the old Ricoh Mirai gets great reviews, and I have been impressed by its sharpness. So, in these tests, I wanted to verify that the TC-200 is sharp by pairing with the known sharp Vivitar (Tokina) 90mm f2.5 lens and also that the light was not impacted by adding the TC-200. It seems both of these are true in these very unscientific tests. All of these shots are handheld SOOC wide open in manual mode. I tried to take both with and without the teleconverter.
What I don't understand is why can't someone make new TC-200m teleconverters? The TC-200m is the only teleconverter that I have tried that actually works without degrading the image.
I am not one for planning; I'm especially terrible at keeping a
schedule. My daughter consistently makes use of this fact and uses
her wily ways to stay up until 11pm on some nights, even *shudder*
very, occasionally- to midnight. Regimented anything is just not me.
In fact, you can pretty much guarantee that I'll be 10 minutes late to
anything that I need to arrive to, regardless of how important it is
to be on time. I'm very reliably 10 minutes late.
Anyways, I'm in a zone, currently, where I have SO much to accomplish,
that I've literally had to do the very dull task of planning out when
I could run to the bank, when I could meet with the babysitter, when I
would attempt to tire Noel out before the 2 hour conference call, etc.
(I'm drooling with boredom just thinking about it again.) So in my
time slot where I was scheduled to start the pizza dough for dinner, I
was thrown for a classic-BBFK-loop. You see that little photo that's
associated with this? Click on it. Then you'll clearly see that my
kitchen sink faucet fell off. That's right. You've read just what
you thought you read. You see, i was doing a damn solid job of this
(crap) schedule thing, when suddenly the faucet was in my hand and
water was on the ceiling. And, I just didn't have a "re-attach
faucet" time slot scheduled in. What *was* I thinking..... Now do you
understand my world? *laughing....*

One day last month I was out on the balcony with the camera early enough to catch our neighbor just about to pass over the bridge to cross the river. Either she or her husband or the both of them make this journey every morning and every evening to milk their cows that are pastured on the other side of the river from where they live.

World’s Best Surfers Ignite Aproador to Complete Round 1 of Billabong Rio Pro
APROADOR, Rio de Janeiro/Brazil (Tuesday, May 17, 2011) – After a week of lay-days, the world’s best surfers tore into consistently changing conditions at the lefthand pointbreak of Aproador to complete Round 1 of the Billabong Rio Pro.
Stop No. 3 of 11 on the ASP World Title Series, the opening day of men’s competition saw ASP Dream Tour veterans earn the day’s top scores while defending event winner Jadson Andre (BRA), 21, made an impressive entrance in the Billabong Rio Pro’s opening round.
Kelly Slater (USA), 39, reigning 10-time ASP World Champion, got off to a strong start to open his Billabong Rio Pro campaign. Slater unleashed two furious tail-drifting backhand turns to notch the day’s highest single-wave score of a 9.00 (out of 10) midway through his bout to overtake ASP World Tour rookie Julian Wilson (AUS), 22, and event wildcard Peterson Crisanto (BRA), 18, after nearly missing the start of his heat.
“That 9 felt good,” Slater said. “I went down to grab my jersey and there was some confusion. By the time I got out, the heat had already started and Julian got that first one. It wasn’t a good start. I knew there were going to be some good ones and I just had to be patient. That one good wave actually let me bottom turn and hit the lip, most of the waves were soft and had a lot of horizontals.”
Slater, who finished runner-up at the Billabong Pro last year, was also quick to admit that several goofy-footers will be tough to beat at the lefthander of Aproador and noted that the natural-footers will need to be especially selective in their wave choice at the Billabong Rio Pro.
“A little left like this is going to play well for goofy footers,” Slater said. “Owen (Wright) and Jadson (Andre) are probably frothing on it and licking their chops ready to go. We (natural footers) have been on our frontside at Snapper and Bells and now it’s their turn. We’ve just got to try and be smart. Mick (Fanning) looked good and there are waves out there to do it, you’ve just got to be smart.”
Taj Burrow (AUS), 32, opened his Billabong Rio Pro campaign with a sharp backhand attack by belting two Arpoador lefthanders to the tune of a 16.83 (out of 20) on his first two waves to earn the highest heat-total of the day. The Australian veteran notched his Round 1 heat win over dangerous Brazilian rookie Alejo Muniz (BRA), 21, and event wildcard Ricardo Santos (BRA), 20.
“It was kind of scary for a second there, right when they decided to start the competition the wind started howling, but then it cleaned up heaps,” Burrow said. “I got two fun ones at the start so I’m happy.”
Jadson Andre, defending event winner, reveled in Aproador’s lefthanders with a combination of aggressive carves and snaps to take a convincing Round 1 heat victory with the support of the Brazilian crowd behind him.
“I’m so happy to be here competing in Brazil and I love Aproador, I feel like a local,” Andre said. “I’ve competed here several times before and have friends here. I know everyone says I should feel pressure as defending champion, but I’m not worried about it. I’m just thinking about the next heat. That’s what I did last year.”
Mick Fanning (AUS), 29, two-time ASP World Champion, slowly built momentum in his opening Billabong Rio Pro heat, eventually igniting two lefthanders by combining a series of seamless backhand turns to notch a 15.07 heat total to advance directly through to Round 3.
“It was tricky trying to find the right one out there, but I watched the heat before and noticed that guys that were doing turns back-to-back were getting scores, so I tried to concentrate on that,” Fanning said. “They weren’t the biggest waves, but they just allowed three turns straight away.”
The Australian talent also expressed the importance of advancing directly through to Round 3 with Brazil’s ever-changing conditions.
“It’s really good to skip as many rounds as possible, especially here in Brazil where it can be really unpredictable,” Fanning said. “I’m stoked to get through Round 1 and I’ll go back and assess what’s going on and hopefully keep going.”
Billabong Rio Pro event organizers will reconvene at Aproador at 7am local time tomorrow morning for a possible Round 2 start.

Itâd be an understatement to say that Cannizaro House has 'a little history'. An Edwardian mansion with grounds sprawled out across 34 acres of Cannizaro Park on the South Side of Wimbledon Common, Cannizaro House is choicely located amongst the surprisingly rural wonders of South West London. Pram pushing yuppie yummy mothers (rubber baby buggy bumpers), rolling green parkland and a spot not all that far from the All England Club (home to the Wimbledon Tennis). Originally built back in the 18th century, this country house has played host to some VERY exciting people; a list that includes the likes of Oscar Wilde and Lord Tenyson, no less!
But less history, more culinary commentary. In June 2015 Hotel Du Vin took over, hoping to make their mark where previous owners the Thistle Group and Bridge House Hotels had not. Whether Hotel Du Vin manage to pull off this audacious feat of high end hoteliership (not sure this is a word) still remains to be seen - but theyâve already put their stamp on the food, thatâs for sure. There's three ways you can eat at Cannizaro House; a la carte at the Bistro, al fresco at The Orangery or more drinks/less food at the Lounge Bar. Tasting Britain went for option B, observing (through floor to ceiling windows), as clouds turned to rain turned to the deepest ultramarine. Beautiful! As I understand it, the food is consistent across all three areas, which means reasonable portions of hearty French faire supplied by the Bistro and a rather weighty wine list too. As you can probably see, these guys sure love their champagne houses!
And how about Hotel Du Vin? They got started way back in 1994, opening their first hotel in Winchester. Since such halcyon days theyâve kept themselves busy, opening another 15 or so - all over the country. I think the most recent Hotel Du Vin is to be found St. Andrews, supposedly âthe home of golfâ. Say what you will about Hotel Du Vin Wimbledon/Cannizaro House but the views and ambiance are absolutely incomparable. This is nothing less than living history, with a bar inside it!

There is no consistent distinction between cormorants and shags. The names "cormorant" and "shag" were originally the common names of the two species of the family found in Great Britain, Phalacrocorax carbo (now referred to by ornithologists as the Great Cormorant) and P. aristotelis (the European Shag). "Shag" refers to the bird's crest, which the British forms of the Great Cormorant lack. As other species were discovered by English-speaking sailors and explorers elsewhere in the world, some were called cormorants and some shags, depending on whether they had crests or not. Sometimes the same species is called a cormorant in one part of the world and a shag in another, e.g., the Great Cormorant is called the Black Shag in New Zealand (the birds found in Australasia have a crest that is absent in European members of the species). Van Tets (1976) proposed to divide the family into two genera and attach the name "Cormorant" to one and "Shag" to the other, but this flies in the face of common usage and has not been widely adopted.
The scientific genus name is latinized Ancient Greek, from φαλακρός (phalakros, "bald") and κόραξ (korax, "raven"). This is often thought to refer to the creamy white patch on the cheeks of adult Great Cormorants, or the ornamental white head plumes prominent in Mediterranean birds of this species, but is certainly not a unifying characteristic of cormorants. "Cormorant" is a contraction derived either directly from Latin corvus marinus, "sea raven" or through Brythonic Celtic. Cormoran is the Cornish name of the sea giant in the tale of Jack the Giant Killer. Indeed, "sea raven" or analogous terms were the usual terms for cormorants in Germanic languages until after the Middle Ages. The French explorer André Thévet commented in 1558 that "...the beak [is] similar to that of a cormorant or other corvid," which demonstrates that the erroneous belief that the birds were related to ravens lasted at least to the 16th century.
The word cormorant is pronounced /ˈkɔrmərənt/, with the stress on the first syllable.

Some rare cats, clouded leopards, etc., had it even worse, many with hospitalism (pacing back and forth incessantly before the bars or windows of their cages).
- I really enjoyed China (although Beijing was tense, depressing in fact, as I was there only 3 - 4 weeks after the massacre in Tian'anmen square; my spirits really lifted after I left for Xi'an), the locals were generally friendly, I loved renting a bike and exploring around various cities like Xi'an, Chengdu and Kunming, and the food in Western China (Gansu and Sichuan) was consistently the best I've had on any trip to date, simple and delicious. Every meal was a pleasure. But you'll see dark things en route anywhere that make an impression, and one I remember on this trip was this zoo, which I presume was pre-eminent in the country. Rare Asian leopards were in small, low cages, pacing back and forth compulsively before the bars or the mesh; most animals were isolated from one another, and I best remember a large tiger sitting on a small, raised, green mound down below in a large, wide, open, walled pit outside, exposed, and howling or yelping every few seconds continuously, clearly nuts, and heart-breaking. The thing to do for some local visitors was to pick up small stones and throw them down at it. When one young laughing woman a few metres to my left did this I objected, and then she turned and laughed at me!
- Pet ownership was still rare in China in 1989, and caring for pets and interaction with animals will teach people that animals, or at least mammals, have feelings and are more like us than we'd ever guess before getting to know them. I'm sure the animals in this zoo receive much better care today than they did when I toured it decades ago.
- But that said, we often project onto animals when we shouldn't (including mammals). The owners of boas or pythons should know and keep in mind that their snakes don't love them back. Too many owners have fallen asleep in bed or on the couch eating cheezies and watching TV while cuddled up with their constrictor wrapped around them and didn't wake back up if it was feeling the least bit peckish. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWXAtHJ0yc8 Oscar Brown Jr.'s 'The Snake': www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxVymZxekEw

- Here's a list of the top 10 most dangerous legal exotic pets.: pethelpful.com/exotic-pets/dangerous-exotic-animals-pets The author writes that "[t]he danger presented by snakes is often way, way, way overhyped", but "[s]hould a large snake find its way out of [its] enclosure ..., sleeping children, pets, and sometimes adult humans are at severe risk from the unseen menace." A warning, some of the accounts in the article of attacks by chimps are nightmarish.
