www.vastec-usa.com, Ph: 888-282-7832, This photo set shows how to install VASTEC USA's Coping For Fiberglass Pools, an easy alternative to styrofoam cantilever concrete deck forms. We developed this coping so we could install more fiberglass swimming pools and so we didnt have to get into the pool (in the winter) to finish the cantilever edge. Turns out it's great for the do-it-yourself homeowner also. There's also a video on YouTube: www.youtube.com/user/vastecusa
This is the centre of the mosaic and contains a number of glass gems and gems with mirrors beneath. I also created two eye features for this area, both using different techniques.
An Alteryn coping brick on the wall at the Almhouses on Stow Hill, Newport, is marked just "Alteryn Newport".
Kelly’s for 1895 lists the “Alteryn Brick Co; works Alteryn, Newport” (Allt-Yr-Yn). In the 1906 Kelly’s, it had become the “Alteryn Brick, Tile & Terracotta Co Ltd” and the Directory of Quarries (DOQ) for 1937 and 1941-2 lists the “New Alteryn Brick Co, Alteryn, Newport”, the last reference to this company. Post war, it was absorbed into the Star Brick & Tile empire.
This brick uses a less anglicised spelling, but falls short of the contemporary spelling "Allt-yr-Yn". Another variant seen on a brick is "Altyryn".

"You see it coming, and you think there's still time. Time for everything you want to do, and everything you need to say. There might even be time for someone to swoop in and fix things. Heck, it wouldn't even have to be a bona fide "miracle" - just a little help would be all right.
In the meantime, you make plans. Lots and lots of plans. Variations of plans, even. In your mind, these plans are flawless, and they will take care of everything. You're so confident in these plans that you allow yourself to put parts of them off, or be distracted by something else -- something that's not quite so difficult to think about right now. Because after all, that thing you love is still around to love you back, and there's still time.
But then, suddenly, there isn't.
In a horrifying moment of stark realization, you're speeding downhill at an alarming rate. There are no brakes, no safety belts, a wheel has come loose, and you're not sure, but it sounds like something's grinding. Also, you're on fire.
Preoccupied by your distractions and plans, you didn't realize - until now - that you're already halfway down the hill. There is no control, no plan, and soon, there won't be any time. And even though you saw it coming, you're terrified.
The thing you love is not going to be there anymore, and nothing in your life could have prepared you for just how cold that makes you feel.
You blame the circumstances. Myriad causes and reasons, some known and some mysterious, that had been accumulating over time, conspiring with each other to an ultimate end. A natural decay, accelerated by compounding internal and external complications, supervised by well-meaning yet inexperienced and incapable management whose ultimate reply comes in the form of shrugged shoulders, sympathetic looks, and the phrase that defines the emotion of frustration: "there's nothing we can do."
This, at this moment, is entirely unacceptable. In bouts of anger you curse those who were supposed to prevent this from happening - whose jobs it was to prevent this from happening. In every action they've taken thus far, you perceive incompetence and missed opportunity. You remember their lies: that they're doing everything they can, exploring all options, seeing signs of improvement, bringing in new people with better ideas, and having a good feeling that things are going to work out for the best - even if it might not be exactly the same.
While there may be nothing more powerful in this world than hope, there are few things more devastating than when that hope is false. And that's when you see the lies of omission -- what they weren't telling you, what they say they couldn't tell you, and when they just aren't anywhere to be found in your time of need. For however little control is to be found in a situation like this, they're the ones who have it, and even though your plans no longer apply, at least these professionals should have seen this coming sooner.
It might take some time, but you will realize that the lies they told were not fueled by malice, but by protection. Protection of themselves -- not necessarily because they made mistakes along the way, but because nobody truly wants to be responsible for bad things. It was also protection of you, as ridiculous and insulting as that may sound, because nobody truly wants to hear bad things. And at some point in this whole process, there really may have been genuine hope, things were very close to being fixed, and miracles could have happened.
So while all of these unfamiliar feelings and notions process over and over and over again in a desperate attempt to generate something that makes sense to our earthly minds, it happens.
Just like that, you lose the thing you love.
It's taken from you without your permission, before you decided that the time was right, and before any of your plans could be completed. In that fleeting moment immediately after it happens, everything you knew about life and your daily existence up to now disappears, and you're left with nothing but...nothing.
Some perceive it as calm. Others call it the numbness of shock. It can even be described as peace.
Slowly but surely, those old, familiar feelings return: grief, guilt, pain, anger, disappointment, and deep, deep sadness. But along with those also comes relief, comfort, happy memories, and even brief moments of joy.
And you realize that in that fiery piece of speeding wreckage, you weren't alone. Not only were other people in the car with you, going through the exact same thing, there were people on the hill watching it happen. Your family, and your friends (even ones you have yet to meet). These are the people who offer the unanswerable question "is there anything I can do?" - they saw what you went through and they sympathize, either because they've gone down that hill before you did, or they know that one day, they'll have to. That's where the comfort and the joy come from - even though it felt like you may have been alone, you weren't.
Life is all about loss. Life is nothing without loss. On this earth, time runs out for everything and everyone - if that were not the case, then there would be no point in sustaining ourselves, in developing personal relationships, in challenging ourselves and our friends to create, to succeed and make our names, to explore new places and eat delicious foods, to write our ideas for posterity and then debate them, to take pictures and home movies for the sole purpose of remembering those all-too fleeting moments.
We do all this because we know that one day we will no longer have the opportunity to do so. And every time we lose something dear to our hearts, we honor it by taking what we've learned from it and what we cherished about it, and carrying that on our shoulders until we, too, are lost. What we drop will be picked up by those behind us, and with so much to be happy for and proud of, there's no room for anger or resentment.
So you say goodbye. You go to sleep, and you wake up the next day without it. And you smile, because you know that since you lost it, you will always have it."
-Andrew Pfister, former Ziff Davis (1up.com) staff member.

I’m not usually one to show emotion but reading Sam Kennedy's and Andrew Pfister's posts got me teary eyed. I've only had two long term jobs (and a few photography related gigs here and there) since my High School days and I still remember the day when I was asked to meet The Director of Operations, The General Manager and The Human Resources Manager in the conference room... the reason for the meeting? I was told that I was being laid off!
My days as a Production Coordinator at Automatic Data Processing Brokerage Services Group were over after 7 years of service... it was a very sad day.
Leaving the company that I had worked so, so hard for, often at the expense of my own health and well being was one of the most difficult things I've ever been through.
Seeing a lot of my peers, close friends, and nearly 50 people who worked under my supervision get teary eyed as I was holding my last meeting in the company to let them know that "I was moving on" was tough! I am thankful that ADP actually allowed me to do so... This happened a long time ago as ADP was my very first job fresh off from High School.
If you're reading this and you have been laid off in the past... I'm sure you know how it feels.
Coping saws are not my favorite tools. Yesthey serve their purposes and they are very useful when you need them. But most coping saws share the same problem. The frame is a bit sloppy and therefore the blade cannot be tightened sufficiently.
This example is a English made Eclipse. It's not a far cry better than my Bahco and Atkins coping saws, but it does have one advantage offer them both. The frame is clearly stiffer and therefore the blade can be tightened a bit more than my other ones.

We developed our Coping For Fiberglass Pools as an easy alternative to styrofoam concrete forms. It gives you a much more consistent look without the drawbacks of cantilever deck forms. It takes 2 guys about 2 hours to install and you can shim the coping to match the waterline on out of level pools. Also - you don't have to get into the pool to finish the concrete - definitely a bonus in cold weather.

On Sunday Nov 13, about a hundred people attended the Vigil for Our Democracy in Perry Square, 6th and State St, Erie PA. Organizer Daniel Doubet of Keystone Progress described it as follows: "This a peaceful space for those coping with the election results. This election threatens our core values as a country, and our vulnerable friends and neighbors. And while the results were devastating, we hope to find solace by standing together for our core democratic principles. We reject hatred, and stand vigilant for those in our community who are vulnerable targets for this hatred." The vigil was not a protest against President-Elect Donald Trump, but a stand against hatred. Speakers included Pastor Harry Euell of Faith Temple Church; Rev. Dr. Rich McCarty of Community United Church, Edinboro University professor Lisa Austin, Heather Garczynski, Selena King, political activist Matthew Hatfield, and Daniel Doubet. In between speakers, Daniel encouraged people to talk--really talk--to one another.
Daniel later clarified:
Fhis was not a white flag of surrender. While we were not there to dispute the election results, we WERE there because the election results have lead directly to a wave of hate, violence and intimidation across the country, and there's no place for that here.
And should the forces of hate consider lashing out in our community, we came out to remind them we are vigilant. And there will be more actions we can take, very soon.
Below are Daniel's remarks from the vigil.
We are here for solidarity.
The forces that would control us want us to hate each other. They want us to be suspicious of difference, instead of valuing it. The price for petty political advancement is dividing a nation. Turning neighbors against each other, turning rich against poor, white against black, men against women. We defy division. We defy hate. We learn from each other. We are empowered by each other. And we are better because of each other. To anybody here who feels unsafe, or unwanted or villainized because of who you are: you are not alone, you are valuable, you are necessary to our community. You are America.
We are here for Vigilance
The forces of hate did not appear on Tuesday. Structural racism, patriarchy, homophobia have been forces in this country long before this presidential campaign. But over the course of history we have won victories, the right to vote, the right to marry who you love, the right to go to work without being attacked or belittled. And what Tuesday reminds us is that, though these victories were won, we must protect them. We will not go backward from these victories, even if some think that would be “great.” We go forward. Only Forward.
We are here for dignity.
Dignity for all of our brothers and sisters, regardless of their gender, their race, who they love, their identity or their ability. All people deserve respect, justice and equal treatment under law. Since Tuesday, I’ve spent a lot of time pondering whether or not good people can do bad things. What I know is that people can change. And through the expansion of Dignity to those who don't feel held in it's graces, by demonstrating the value of all people, the divisions imposed on us by weak leaders will be torn asunder. We will can boldy attend to the injustices, large and small to all people, with new friends to join us. Our dignity is their dignity. Their dignity is our dignity. Your dignity is my dignity. Our dignity is our nation’s dignity.

Although I have seen yellow Star Brick & Tile Co bricks, these are far less common than their red bricks. Similarly, I have seen their red coping bricks with this stamp, but this is the first yellow one I have come across.
A former employee of the Star Brick & Tile Co on Llantarnam Road in the 1970s has stated that Star Brick & Tile had factories in Ponthir (the Head Office), Malpas, Allt Yr Yn in Newport, Risca and Morriston, Swansea. Kelly’s of 1881 lists “The Star Brick and Tile Co Ltd, Llanvihangel-Llantarnam” (on Llantarnam Road, Cwmbran); in 1937 Kelly’s lists “Star Brick & Tile Co Ltd, Llantarnam Road, Cwmbran; Caerleon, Newport; and Risca, Newport”. The DOQ 1941-42 lists “Star Brick & Tile Co Ltd”, in the DOQ 1957-58 there is an entry “Star Brick & Tile Co Ltd; works: Penrhos works, Caerleon; Malpas Road, Newport; Altyryn, Newport; Waunvawr Works, Risca, Llantarnam Works”. The DOQ for 1973 is the last entry for the Star Brick & Tile Co, although “National Star Ltd Newport” continues to be mentioned up until the IDWM for 1978, its last entry.
'Special Reports on the Mineral Resources of Great Britain', HMSO, 1920, states that “the Llantarnam works of the Star Brick & Tile Co brings fireclay from the Varteg Deep Black Vein Collieries Ltd, Varteg, Abersychan by rail (GWR). "Grog" is added consisting of old firebricks, and calcined sandstone from the company's clay pit adjacent to the works (Comment: "The Eighties") in which a fine section of red marls with interbedded sandstone is exposed. These marls furnish the materials for the red bricks and tiles manufactured by the company, who make sanitary pipes also”.
