It’s been a long time coming but we were recently commissioned to do our first big wall in about 18 months for a company which invests in new drugs. I have to say that it felt good to be out and about and painting again for a client.

 

We’ve spent too long left with our own ideas so it was nice to have a brief - which only really asked for one thing, which was to include some reference to the drugs they had invested in. Given that some of the logos were quite cool anyway that seemed the obvious way to go. As always the hardest part is coming up with a design but once that is out of the way and signed off though it's on to the fun part; throwing some paint at a wall.

 

Cheers

The Believe in the Cure Cycling Tour Comes to Philadelphia

 

An Inspirational Journey for an Inspirational Young Man

 

The power of one individual to make a difference cannot be measured in words, but in actions. John Ellis, a 17-year-old from Pensacola, Fla., was diagnosed with hepatitis B in 2006. Instead of being discouraged by this devastating medical diagnosis, John turned the news into an opportunity to raise awareness about hepatitis B. With a passion for cycling and a desire to help raise funds to find a cure for the disease, John contacted the Hepatitis B Foundation (www.hepb.org) with an idea to organize an East Coast cycling tour. Today, John’s idea has become a reality! The Believe in the Cure Cycling Tour, sponsored by the Hepatitis B Foundation, is a 1,100 mile journey which began on June 2 at John’s high school in Pensacola and ended in Philadelphia on June 23 – John’s 18th birthday!

 

A group of Hepatitis B Foundation researchers, staff, supporters, friends and family joined John and his riding companion and best friend, Jamaal Warren, for the last leg of their journey from Conshohocken to Kelly Drive in Philadelphia. John and Jamaal were welcomed at their Kelly Drive finish line by the Hepatitis B Foundation; Philadelphia’s Fralinger String Band Mummers; O’Liver, the Hepatitis B Foundation’s mascot; friends and family from Philadelphia and Pensacola and many more. ABC 6’s Health and Medical Reporter, Ali Gorman, served as the event emcee and Councilman Greenlee presented John with a citation from the city of Philadelphia. Dr. Timothy Block, Co-Founder of the Hepatitis B Foundation and Dr. Baruch Blumberg, Nobel laureate who discovered the hepatitis B virus also participated in the event program congratulating John for his extraordinary accomplishments.

 

About John Ellis and the Believe in the Cure Cycling Tour: John Ellis is an extraordinary young man. He was a healthy teenager, when the results of a routine blood test revealed that he had hepatitis B. This news came just two weeks before his 16th birthday and John recalls emotions of, “being incredibly scared because I didn’t know what having hepatitis B would mean for me.” His fear was further fueled by his doctor who told him that he would eventually need a liver transplant. John’s world was turned upside down. He was frightened and also confused as to how he could have contracted this potentially fatal disease; he had received the hepatitis B vaccine in middle school.

 

John turned to the Hepatitis B Foundation to learn more about his disease. The Foundation is the only national nonprofit organization solely dedicated to finding a cure and improving the quality of life for those affected with hepatitis B worldwide. Hepatitis B is the most common serious liver infection in the world. It is caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) that attacks liver cells and can lead to cirrhosis, liver failure and liver cancer. The virus is transmitted through infected blood. In the U.S., 1 out of 20 persons (or 12 million Americans) have been infected with HBV.

 

Armed with information about hepatitis B and with a conviction to improve his health, John gave up a junk food diet and began exercising. He purchased a $50 bike from a local bike store and started riding it everywhere – to school, to work and just for fun. “I knew I wanted to ride for a cause. People need to become more aware about hepatitis B and how it affects us,” said John. John has shown us courage in the truest sense of the word. He is approaching his chronic hepatitis B diagnosis with a positive attitude and embarking on this cycling tour to prove to himself that he can overcome obstacles placed in his path. Knowing that there is no cure for hepatitis B does not dampen his spirits. “If I believe in my heart that things will work out for the best, then who’s to say I’m not cured,” said John.

 

Sponsors of the Cycling Tour include NutriSystem, CP Commercial Printing, Monster Graphics, Bikes Plus (Pensacola, Fla.), Fox Rothschild LLP, High Swartz LLP, Newman’s Own Organic, Clif Bars, and Enterprise Rent-A-Car.

The City of Malden, assisted by Congressman Ed Markey, was awarded an Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant for the procurement of Onsite Renewable Technology. Part of the grant was used to install solar panels on Malden High School and to perform an energy audit of municipal buildings. Another portion of the grant was used to procure 108 LED streetlights for an initial deployment around Malden Center on City owned streetlight poles. New LED streetlights were installed on both sides of Florence Street from Main to Commercial, on one side of Commercial Street from Route 60 to Charles Street, and LED lighting was installed where possible on both sides of Route 60 from the Beebe School to Malden High School.

Big differences in 4 Arabicas.

From left to right:

 

Kaffa Harrar longberry

Wonderful acidic blueberry taste (the first time I agree with a described taste)

 

Douwe Egberts Koningsblend (Sumatra)

Clearly the most beautiful beans and roasted perfectly. Note the lack of chaff. Solid honest taste.

 

Fascino El Zapote (Columbia)

Nice Arabica, that needs a balanced ratio.

 

Headfirst Coffee Los Robles espresso Unfortunately the loser in this lineup. Sour and dry beans killing all possibilities of a smooth taste.

During the Great Depression, millions of Americans were in poverty and dropped in status. Many people who were use to the middle class and suburban life were in for quite the change. From October in 1929 when the stock market crashed to 1941, millions of people had their lives drastically changed from what they were use to. People were losing their jobs left and right. Those who once worked in factories were laid off since nobody was buying or just couldn’t afford the products that were being made. Farmers across the nation could not make a living since the world’s price for agricultural goods dropped drastically in price and all the extra crops that have been farmed were now being put into warehouses. Many farmers then turned to raising cows, pigs and chickens to accumulate for their losses in crops. In Europe, the farmers were suffering the same agricultural problems. Economist could not explain why the prices in food were going down. The European nations made the decision to put a tariff on foreign foods and import quotas. Producers of staple crops received a huge blow. Since many of those farmers purchased land and heavy machinery during the war, they could not afford mortgage payments and repairs, thus leading them into bankruptcy. Yet some people were still able to maintain their standard of living despite the economic condition American was suffering. Depending on your job or career, you still might have been able to pull through these hard times. My Grandfather was just a child during the Great Depression. He remembers what it was like for many of the people during those days. Yet he was one of the fortunate ones. His father was a butcher and owned his own shop. So for his family, they had enough meat to last them throughout the Depression. On occasion, they would have people off the streets come in the store and beg for food. My great grandfather would have to tell them to leave or he would notify the police. Most of the time, they would just leave, yet on one occasion, my grandfather told of a man who robbed the store of some ham and ran off. Overall, the majority of the people of America were on the same boat. In times like the Great Depression, so many people would commit acts just to keep themselves or their loved ones from starving on the cold, unforgiving streets.

Interesting spelling difference, this must be a concession to Rick and to that place in Casablanca where Miss Ilsa asked Sam to play it.

The truly marvellous art deco restaurant is on the right side of the bar. I had lunch there today (8th February 2011) and should indeed have shot a few pictures, in order to show this stunning piece of an Art Deco Restaurant.

Well, it is an excuse to come back, have another lunch and take the pictures.

Sainsbury Taste the Difference Tap Room IPA

Its 6.3%, 355mls, had an aroma that was cream, toffee and some spice to it.

Again good carbonation and good head, this was a bit better although thin in the mouth. It had a better balance of the malt, some fruitness and spice, but rather light on the bitterness, at least there was some in this beer though.

Scale - height difference. 23rd May

Replace 21st May as I replaced my old hair cut with a new one.

Hi, can anyone tell me what is the difference between these two??? The bottom one is bigger, grey and it has a suppressor, and the magazine is not removable. Also, the texture is not the same.

The above image demonstrates the difference between each point of the animation in the first comment.

There are 52 weeks to the top half, and 52 weeks to the bottom half. Each week uses 2 squares = 104 squares to 52 weeks.

 

104 weeks between top/N and bottom/S of demonstration and there are 104 frames to animation.

  

I think this makes a statement...or something

There are at least sixteen differences between the picture on the left and the one on the right. How many can you see? Enter your answers in "Add your comment".
