Learn how to use colour value in your quilts to create more dynamic designs with Cheryl Arkison, the co-author of Sunday Morning Quilts. Value is what our eye reads as light, dark or medium. This class focusses on determining value, regardless of colour, within a pile of fabric. Students will sew a series of half square triangle blocks to demonstrate value through various layouts and designs.

Suffolk, VA - 25 APR 2022
Brian and Teresa Mullins, owners of M&M Hospitality, acquired the property formerly known as Bennett’s Creek Marina to build their newest ventures: Decoys Seafood Restaurant, featuring the Blind Duck Tiki Bar, Bennett’s Creek Marina, and the Landings. The property holds sentimental value to Brian, as he used to launch from the very same riverbanks to duck hunt for over 20 years. The Decoys restaurant name pays homage to this duck hunting history. The outdoor tiki bar, adjacent to the restaurant, is named Blind Duck as a play on duck blinds, to show respect for the area’s history. During construction, much of the timber used to trim the restaurant and tiki bar was harvested from the current land. Trees were cut to rough lumber and then air or kiln-dried on the Mullins’ farm for 18 months. Highlights of the wood varieties used in Decoys Seafood Restaurant and the Blind Duck Tiki Bar include pine for the detailed trim, pecan for the hardwood floors and staircase, black walnut for the bar tops, red cedar for the tiki bar ceiling and osage orange for the tiki bar seats and bar top.
The area in which the restaurant and marina now sit was first a ferry site and lead to the naming of the main road. The creek is named after the Bennett family, the original owners of the land. The current site is where the old swing bridge/country store sat from the early 1900s through the 1940s when the Route 17 bridge was built. The store remained and became a restaurant known as “Creekside Restaurant” until the Mullins acquired the property and began demolition in 2015.
When beginning construction on the old Ferry Bulkhead, the team noticed a part of the concrete retaining wall that had a dog’s unique set of paw prints from the 1800s. This imprint has been carefully preserved and is displayed in the restaurant to show three paw prints and a fourth imprint that looks like a peg leg. The Mullins created this 3-legged black lab persona named “Mate” to represent the marina and serve as the Blind Duck’s best friend.
The entire portion of Bennett’s Creek where the marina now sits was dredged to accommodate larger boats up to 80 feet in length and 60 new slips with 1,800 square feet of floating deck were installed.
ABOUT M&M HOSPITALITY
Brian and Teresa Mullins along with Ken Dodd, Operations Partner, have been working together since 2008 with plans to continue to grow the M&M Hospitality team of restaurant and entertainment venues.
Brian and Teresa Mullins have been in the residential building and development business for over 30 years. In 2001 the Mullins’ began developing Governor’s Pointe, a community of 141 home sites located a few minutes from the rapidly growing Harbour View corridor at I-664 and Route 17 in Suffolk, Virginia. Brian dedicated many years to planning and implementing his concept of a neighborhood of fine custom homes in a picturesque setting, bordered by the Nansemond River and Route 17.
As the development came to life, the thought of a community restaurant and retail shopping area would complement the development and provide local residents a new fine-dining option. Vintage Tavern opened in 2006 and quickly established itself as one of the top 10 restaurants in Hampton Roads, featuring Seasonally Southern Cuisine.
Two years later, in 2008, Brian was back at it developing, designing and constructing River Stone Chophouse in Harbour View – the first world-class American steakhouse in Hampton Roads. It didn’t take long for River Stone to join Vintage Tavern as one of Hampton Roads’ top 10 restaurants, as both restaurants received dining awards from Virginian Pilot, Virginia Living, Coastal Virginia Magazine and Wine Spectator. With the creation of the two restaurants, M&M Hospitality was born.
Brian and Teresa acquired the property along Bennett’s Creek Marina to build their newest ventures, Decoys Seafood Restaurant featuring the Blind Duck Tiki Bar, Bennett’s Creek Marina, and the Landings.

Project Title: ”Value”
Classroom Teacher: Nicole Abel and Laura Woolston
School: Southwark Elementary
Grade: 3rd Grade
Project Description:
The class explored the concept of monetary and social value. For this part of the project the students were given a section of a dollar bill print out. Using a simple grid, they reproduced the image proportionately on a larger piece of paper using acrylic paint. The class re-pieced the large-scale dollar back together like a big puzzle.

The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Central Oregon sends children off to religious education classes with a tradition the growing congregation insists on keeping no matter how big it gets. This commitment to community amidst rapid change is part of why the Unitarian Universalist Association named the fellowship a Breakthrough Congregation.

Much moved and ill treated before they came to their present position in the north aisle bereft of their alabaster table base lies Sir Nicholas Longford 1610 of Longford, The Hough & Whittington, with his 3rd wife Margaret Markham 1620
Nicholas was the only son of Ralph Longford 1544 & Dorothy flic.kr/p/6xfByq daughter of Anthony FitzHerbert of Norbury & Matilda Cotton flic.kr/p/2kyiD2m who m2 Sir John Porte of Etwall flic.kr/p/6xfzyQ
Of his 3 sisters - Maud m (2nd wife) Sir George Vernon at Bakewell flic.kr/p/dA7vCG & Elizabeth m Sir Humphrey Dethick at Hartshorne www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/jHF9XQ
He was educated in Pembroke, Cambridge in 1550 and the Inner Temple in 1553.
Nicholas inherited from his father an impoverished estate, causing him to have to sell his remaining lands in Derby and Staffordshire (apart from Longford) in 1571 to John Fleetwood of Heskyn, near Preston. Fleetwood originally servant to Sir Thomas Audley, Attorney for the Duchy of Lancaster and afterwards Lord Chancellor. The remaining property in Lancashire, at Longford and Withington, was sold in 1580 to Nicholas Mosley, at one time Lord Mayor of London ;
Nicholas is styled "equester aurens" (golden knight) on his tomb inscription, probably gaining his knighthood from King James 1.
He m1 Elizabeth daughter of Ralph Okeover of Oakover by Matilda daughter of Sir William Bassett of Blore
He m2 Margaret / Martha daughter of Sir Robert Southwell, of Mereworth Kent; Master of the Rolls
He m3 Margaret daughter of Thomas Markham of Allerton 1620
Nicholas was a Roman Catholic and a recusant in the reign of Elizabeth l
Apart from his election as a knight of the shire for Derbyshire in 1559, possibly due to the importance of his connections, and sheriff in 1568-9, he never gained any position in county government. Possibly to prove his loyalty, he was, however, appointed a commissioner to assess the value of the lands and goods of John Sacheverell, a fellow Catholic who had fled abroad. His religious beliefs eventually caused him trouble. In September 1581 the 6th Earl of Shrewsbury who was housing Mary , Queen of Scots, was ordered to send him to London, if he was in a fit condition to travel, while in 1585 Humphrey Bridges his former servant accused him of having a secret correspondence with the queen who had urged him to be steadfast in his religion, promising to make him a duke and to make his chaplain archbishop of Canterbury, when she attained power. As a result he was again called before the Privy Council in London, and was committed to the Marshalsea in June 1585.
By the end of 1594, however, he had apparently conformed. In a letter to Robert Cecil he stated that he had been satisfied by some of his learned friends regarding his former scruples, and he had already attended divine service in divers public presences. He also said "My suit is, that as you have power so you will help to deliver me from those former dangers and troubles I have incurred by my recusancy".
During the reign of James l , he again reverted to Catholicism. and his name is included in a list of unconvicted recusants, drawn up in 1609
Despite having married 4 times, he left no surviving children. The last of his branch of the male line, his heir was his sister Elizabeth wife of Humphrey Dethick at Hartshorne, who gained the Newton Solney lands.
(By a will now in possession of Earl Egerton of Tatton - but revoked in 1578 - his remaining estate was left to Maud Hastings and Francis Dethick dsp 1595 with remainder to Richard Longford 1604 and William, his brother, sons of Thomas Longford third son of Sir Ralph Longford 1513)
However his last wife Margaret persuaded him to leave her some remaining property and for the sum of £5000 In October 1615 she signed a release along with George Markham, Charles Markham, and Thomas Markham, her brothers, and Katherine Rediche, to Sir Edward Coke, flic.kr/p/fKhLer Thomas Coventrye and John Pepys, of the manor and lordship of Longford, the advowson of the church, the capital messuage called Woodhouse there, Longford Park and closes in Longford parish, and all those messuages, etc., in Malmerton, Bubton, Thurvaston, Shirley, Hollington, Rodeslye and Ardeslye which were formerly part of the possession of the said Nicholas Longford, deceased. (soon after Clement Coke 6th son of the Sir Edward became possess of the estate, his wife being descended from the Rediche / Deithick and Longfords )

Monday, 29 March 2021: our temperature is -6C (windchill -16C) at 1:30 pm. A short while ago, it was -9C (windchill -21C). Sunrise is at 7:19 am, and sunset is at 8:04 pm. Sunny with clouds. Still extremely windy but, thankfully, not much snow fell overnight. Wind is 52N km/h, with gusts of 69 km/h. The best place to be today is safely at home, if one is able. Ha, on a day like this, many birds have more sense than humans : )
All five photos were taken on 4 July 2015, at the Olds College Botanic Gardens and Wetlands. I am adding the description that I wrote under a previously posted image taken on the same trip. It was an interesting and enjoyable outing, including seeing the barn and a cluster of mushrooms.
"Yesterday, 4 July 2015, was the Nature Calgary annual bus trip, and this year it was a visit to the Olds College Botanic Gardens and Wetlands. The College is approximately 95.0 km north of Calgary, roughly a 55 minute drive. This once-a-year outing always feels so good for everyone - no driving, simply relaxing on a bus. We had about three hours there, which sounded short, but in fact worked out quite well.
The mission of the College is:
"Our goal is to develop a Botanic Garden on the Olds College campus, which introduces, conserves, and maintains a diverse, well-documented and accurately labeled collection of prairie hardy plants.
Our collections will preserve our natural heritage, expand the role of Olds College as a Centre of Excellence in Horticulture, and gain formal recognition with the Canadian Botanical Conservation Network (CBCN) and the American Public Garden Association (APGA).
Olds College Botanic Garden will enhance and support education, training, demonstration, and applied research programs that span the generations and encourage the exchange of information and ideas with industry, students, other botanical gardens and the public.
The Botanical Garden will also raise awareness with the public regarding the importance of sustainable environments."
About the College:
"Not just a walk down the garden path, the gardens are designed to meet the instructional needs of courses and programs on campus, and are used as the location and subject matter for research projects. The Botanic Gardens are an aesthetically beautiful, diverse and well-maintained garden and constructed wetlands. Highlights include our collections of hardy peonies, lilies and roses, natural areas, a wide variety of aquatics, herb garden, fabulous annual displays each year and much more.
The Gardens are comprised of three phases spread over 25 acres and are populated with a wide ranging collection of prairie hardy plant material, both native and ornamental. The most established parts of the garden are the Central Portion opened in 2002.
The third and most recent phase of our Botanic Gardens is the East Portion which contains the Treatment Wetlands, opened in early September of 2013.
The three phases when considered together include naturalized landscapes, specialty gardens, walking trails, demonstration plots, an arboretum and 20 constructed treatment wetlands and display ponds. The area is complete with two public gazebos, an amphitheater and event areas. The Botanic Gardens & Treatment Wetlands has the ability to host weddings, reunions, graduations, workshops, and boasts 1.3 kilometers of trails throughout the gardens and wetlands.
Botanic gardens are quite different from other public garden spaces or show gardens. To be able to be identified as a botanic garden, several criteria must be met. For example, botanic gardens must:
Be open to the public
1. Exhibit a degree of permanence
2. Use a scientific basis as the foundation for their collections
3. Document and monitor the collection
4. Communicate information to other gardens, institutions and the public
The Botanic Gardens and Treatment Wetlands at Olds College is dedicated to meeting all criteria and continuing to expand its value to the college and extended community."
More tests today. I'm learning how to control very light values. But first I did a little ink test in the upper left to see if you get green when you mix yellow and black ink. Yes, you do if you are very fast and mix them while they are still wet. I used a yellow Micron pen and a black Zig pen.
My main test was to slowly build up dilute colors. I had burnt sienna in one Kuretake Mini waterbrush and cobalt in another. I applied a wash, waited for it to dry completely, and added another. I did this four times to create four increasingly darker values. You have to be very patient, but it works. I learned this method from a book called "The Wash Method of Handling Water Colour" by Frank Forrest Frederick published in 1908. I found it for free on Archive.org
archive.org/details/washmethodofhand00freduoft
Where you can download it as a PDF, ePub, or Kindle file.
Finally I tried to get the lightest value possible with a number of colors. I used a wet round brush to pick up a little dried tube paint. I then quickly dipped the brush in water, tapped the brush against the inside of my water container (to dislodge a little water) and then made a brush mark down the dry page. This deposits very little pigment and is a good way to make beautiful, light colors. I also tried lifting some color out with a thirsty brush (in the cadmium red/lemon yellow mix), and I tried adding a little more color on top of the wet first stroke (ultramarine and cobalt - bottom left).

JUBILACIÓN DE LA MUJER
Con Asesor Previsional
Introduction
Si bien es cierto que la mujer se puede jubilar en Chile a los 60 años, todo
el sistema actual está diseñado para que se pensione a los 65 años, debido
a que en esa edad se le entrega el bono por hijo y se ha extendido también
hasta esa edad el beneficio del seguro de Invalidez y Sobrevivencia. Los beneficios
tributarios del APV y el Ahorro Previsional Voluntario Colectivo APVC se mantendrán
mientras siga trabajando y cotizando hasta los 65 años.
Hay que tener mucho cuidado y tomar en cuenta que algunas mujeres que trabajan
en la administración pública están sujetas al estatuto administrativo, que
implica que si esa mujer se jubila esta obligada a dejar sus funciones y tiene
que renunciar. Todo pensionado puede continuar trabajando con el mismo empleador
a excepción de:
* Los trabajadores de la Administración Pública afectos al Estatuto Administrativo.
* Los trabajadores municipales afectos a la Ley No.18.883
* Los profesionales de la Educación del Sector Municipal afectos a la Ley No.19.070
* Los Trabajadores afectos al Estatuto de Atención Primaria de la Salud Municipal.
* Los funcionarios Poder Judicial afectos al artículo 332 No.6 del Código Orgánico
de Tribunales.
Una mujer también se puede jubilar después de los 65 años, o antes. Pero nadie
obliga a jubilarse a los 60 65 o 70 años salvo por disposición de su empresa,
mientras una mujer quiera y pueda seguir trabajando y aportando a su AFP lo
puede hacer libremente. Pensionarse hoy o mañana es una opción personal y cada
cual sabe donde le aprieta el zapato.
La decisión de la edad de pensión de una mujer es un asunto personal y particular
de acuerdo a sus intereses y circunstancias personales.
Hay mujeres que quieren jubilarse a los 60 años para disfrutar a sus nietos,
para emprender una nueva actividad como independiente, o para tener más dinero
disponible para ayudar a pagar alguna universidad.
Si usted va a iniciar su trámite de pensión lo puede hacer directamente con
su AFP, con una compañía de seguros o con uno de sus agentes, o con un asesor
previsional inscrito en el registro de asesores previsionales de la Superintendenecia
de Pensiones y de la Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros.
Un asesor previsional le debería conseguir una mejor jubilación que una mujer
que hace el trámite sola con su AFP, o con un agente de una compañía de seguros
determinada, "pastelero a tus pasteles". Busque en Google de Chile por QUE
ME CONVIENE PARA JUBILARME
Las mujeres y los hombres que quieren jubilarse pronto, o los que estan pensionados
bajo la modalidad de retiro programado AFP, les comunico que la tasa de venta
de las compañías de seguros en este momento han subido hasta un 5% y bajarán
hasta un 6% el año 2016 debido a la nueva tabla de mortalidad que se comenzará
aplicar el otro año, por lo que le sugiero informarse más buscando en Google
de Chile por CUAL ES EL MEJOR MOMENTO PARA JUBILARSE
Best regards,
Luis Fernando Correa
