Some news regarding the sequel:
The first Tintin has been very successful around the world. Mr. Jackson is very caught up in The Hobbit for a while. Assuming that it's a success in America, when do you envision a sequel being able to move forward? Is it being moved forward right now?
Kennedy: Oh yeah it is being moved forward, in fact Steven and I were talking about it this morning. We're working on a script right now, we'll see a script probably February or March. If we can do some camera capture this summer, which I think we could do, then we would be on track to have the movie either Christmas 2014 or summer 2015, and so that's what we're looking at right now.

It seems Jackson will do the motion-capture stuff between Hobbits... Let's hope Williams ends up scoring it.

It's comforting to have regular instalments of a great new franchise to look forward to. I need that kind of shit in my life.

A late 2013 date for scoring, it seems.
It seems they are eyeing The Calculus Affair for the sequel...

But it seems they won't be using The Seven Crystal Balls/Prisoners of the Sun at all, which is a shame. But we'll have to wait and see what happens...
But... but...
Prisoners fits Jackson more I think.
I wonder what they have in mind for a third film. But I'm sad because I love the Inca adventure, even if I don't like the ending that much.

Calculus Affair is kind of a spy/political thriller kind of storyright?
I think so. It's of the ones I haven't read but it's said to be very good.
I remember when asked about the second film Jackson said he loved the Inca story and stuff like Ottokar Sceptre/Calculus Affair.
Every interview I read with Jackson indicated he was dying to do Prisoners of the Sun for his movie
Yeah. That's why I thought Prisoners of the Sun would be the third film when they started to say the second might not be Sun after all. Now I'm puzzled.
Maybe, MAYBE, they're thinking on having Calculus Affair as the second film and then segue into the Moon adventure. I mean same setting, Calculus' inventions, etc
What I think it's happening is that Horowitz first wrote a script based on Sun and then they made him write a script based on something else. I remember they also wanted Moffat to write two films one after another but he had to work on Doctor Who.
I plan on reading all the books when I have time. Gotta read the latest Palaniuk book sometime soon as well

Prisoner of the Sun is not one of the best albums. Plus, several elements of it have been re-used many times on other films (the whole eclipse thing). Calculus Affair is a much better book
I think if they adapted Prisoners they should change the ending. If Hergé had been told that the Incas knew what an eclipse is then he would have written a different ending, plus he admitted later he wasn't a fan of it. More than that, Calculus is written in that moment in a quite idiotic way.
I love the whole story except that. My favourite part is the mummy scene and the train sequence.

maybe the mix calculus affair with the moon books and made it be the second film. after all it al happens in syldavia...
If they have to mix books, perhaps The Calculus affair with King Ottokar's spectre (Bloodball will kill me for this). The could go well together and are two great books
well the jungle foliage and mountain snow would hide snowy's legs, so i'm game!
Elmo Lewis 6
Relatively respectable citizen.
My opinion couldn't be more different. I love the atmosphere on Prisoners, and its set up in Seven Crystal Balls couldn't be more cinematic. The Calculus Affair feels more like one of those cat-and-mouse thrillers of which there are plenty in Tintin lore - I always viewed it as Herge making a little story for the main characters to shine after a bunch of big-scoped books.
What is it that you like about Calculus?
How likely do you think it is that Williams would return to score the Tintin sequel? I loved his music for the first, and I'd love to see him come back for another.
Well, the sequel is 2 years away so it's possible
He'll score it, I'm certain.
Like I said, I hope he does. Since Spielberg wouldn't be directing the sequel, I got nervous that Williams might not return. He seems to really be doing only Spielberg movies nowadays...
Richard Penna 1000

Both movies are being made by the same team - the only difference is that PJ is directing the second instead of Spielberg.
I'm sure Williams will score it.
indy4 151
I'm not sure why y'all are so confident that JW will score the sequel. He's not PJ's composer of choice, and he doesn't always like scoring sequels.
tannhauser 98
If he doesn't want to return, I'm sure they'll offer Shore the gig. That would be awesome.
I would rather he explore new films than stick with Tintin, but because our options will probably be between Tintin 2 and nothing else, I'll happily take Tintin 2.

Hopefully he'll find time between Tintin 2 and Harry Po- nm
yeah you beat me to it, Williams will be to busy scoring the next Harry Potter film for this
... Is there something I'm missing here?

When you will find out, please tell me...

As Peter Jackson is directing it is highly unlikely Williams would be scoring. Peter Jackson doesn't make movies like Spielberg. It's more likely James Newton Howard (not Howard Shore though) would jump on board. I would bet money on it.
Who knows Jackson maybe would like Williams if he has the opportunity
That doesn't make sense. Williams could have scored every single Jackson film and his music would have fit the movies like a glove.
If Williams wants to continue working on the series, Jackson will surely collaborate with him.
Even Braindead?
Braindead most of all.
I'm quite certain Williams will score the sequel. I mean its the same team, and just because Peter Jackson is directing, it doesn't change the fact that Spielberg will be EXTREMELY involved in the process. So just like Jackson got Andy Serkis (to our delight) in for the first film, Spielberg will probably go out of his way to make sure Williams is involved (and when Spielberg asks, Williams rarely refuses).
So yes, we probably will see the maestro return for an awesome sequel! Can't wait!
- KK
Well we'll see, but I don't think Jackson cares for the John Williams kind of score. It would be funny because although JW has worked with other directors, the music in Tintin is similar to Indiana Jones and Harry Potter. I don't see how Jackson could make the film his own with all the omage referances Williams adds - (well, he's probably ad lib -ing abit with Spielberg). That is assuming he wants to make the film his own. Maybe he just wants to add to Spielberg?? We'll wait and see..
His music wouldn't have worked well for LOTR. It is to direct - Shore's score worked well because it doesn't over-deliver. Shore is closer to Goldsmith than Williams in this respect.
Yeah, I think it's funny how everytime somebody comments on the limitations of WIlliams' style, the common consensus here seems to be "Nonsense, he can score anything!". Of course Williams can adapt masterfully, but that doesn't make him the ideal composer for every single movie out there.
I just dont see Jackson passing on the opportunity to work with Williams, because he is not his regular composer.
If Williams is interested in scoring it Jackson will probably say 'HELL YEAH!' and be honored.

Of course Williams can adapt masterfully, but that doesn't make him the ideal composer for every single movie out there.
You make me sick.
I always go back to JW though because even if they are to bombastic for the film they are usually a good listen on an intellectual level eg. Pursuit of Falcon in Tintin just the other day I noticed how the motif is given to the brass transposed. I don't know how many modulations there are but it's probably in the hundreds!
Sorry to say but although the general public may know Williams from Jaws, Star Wars etc. they also know that isn't the sort of music appropriate for say LOTR. Howard Shore couldn't have done a better job. So yes, Williams is not overrated but he is by no means the only choice for a director. I wonder how a Desplat Tintin score would sound like??

I doubt a delicate piano score would suit the film very well.

John Williams could have scored LOTR.
Technically ANYONE can score LOTR. But not everybody can score LOTR well.
And nobody could have scored LOTR as well and masterfully as Shore did.
P.S. Personally, I don't think Williams style would suit LOTR, but I definitely believe Williams shall score Tintin's sequel with PJ with amazingly effective results!

NMC Council welcomes three new appointees
The NMC is pleased to welcome a new designate Council member for Scotland and two new Associates.
Justine Craig will join the NMC as its new designate member for Scotland. Justine, a registered midwife, will take office on 1 May 2021. She will succeed current member for Scotland, Rob Parry, when his second term of office comes to an end. In the interim, Justine will be actively engaging with the Council's work.
Tracey MacCormack, a registered midwife and Dr Gloria Rowland, a registered nurse, midwife and specialist community public health nurse (SCPHN) will join as our first two Associates from 1 January 2021.
The Council launched this innovative Associate scheme to provide opportunities for individuals with potential to develop the skills and expertise needed to be a Non-Executive Director in the future by gaining first-hand experience of what being a Council member involves. The Council was particularly keen to attract midwives and registrants from black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) backgrounds. We were overwhelmed by the positive response and the wealth of potential talent out there.
Deputy Chair of the Council, Karen Cox said:
"I'm delighted that Justine will be joining the Council as the future member for Scotland. She brings a wealth of experience and will ensure that we continue to hear the voice and perspective of midwives on the Council in the months and years ahead.
"It's also a great pleasure to welcome Tracey and Gloria as our first ever Associates. This is an exciting new scheme by the Council to help develop the talent base for the future. Tracey and Gloria were chosen from over 100 applicants in the face of stiff competition. We look forward to the fresh perspectives and insight they will bring to the Council's work and to helping equip them to be future Board members.
"Justine, Tracey and Gloria all showed that our values of kindness, fairness, collaboration and ambition are at the heart of what they stand for.
"Finally, I would like to say thank you to our partners across the UK who supported us during these selection processes. The work that nurses, midwives and nursing associates do has never been more important and I look forward to continuing to work closely with them for the benefit of our professionals and the communities we're here to serve."
Commenting on her appointment Justine said:
"It is a great privilege and an honour to be appointed to the Council and I am looking forward to being able to contribute both my midwifery expertise and the Scottish perspective to the Council's work."
Commenting on her appointment, Tracey said:
"I am delighted to have this opportunity to get involved in the work of the Council through this new Associate role."
Commenting on her appointment Gloria said:
"I am thrilled to have been chosen as one of the first Associates and look forward to learning from my involvement with the Council."
Council member appointments are made by the Privy Council, following an open, competitive selection process. The Associate appointments were made by the Council, following a similar open and competitive selection process.
The NMC's governing Council is made up of twelve members: six lay people and six current nurses, midwives or nursing associates, appointed by the Privy Council. There can never be more than 12 members on the Council – this is the legal maximum. The Council must include at least one member from each of Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and England at all times.
The Council introduced the Associate scheme in July 2020, to provide a way of developing the future talent base by giving those with potential to have the chance to develop the skills and expertise required to serve at senior national Board level. Associates will be involved in all aspects of the Council's work and contribute to the Council's business in a similar way to appointed Council members.
Appointments to Associate roles are for up to two years. Associates will not vote on Council decisions; however, votes are rare, as the Council makes decisions by consensus wherever possible. Additionally, they will not be a Charity Trustee or subject to the legal duties, responsibilities or liabilities of appointed Council members.
Justine Craig (Registered midwife) - designate Scotland Council member
Justine, a registered midwife, is currently Associate Director of Nursing and Midwifery at NHS Tayside, responsible for professional leadership across Women, Children and Families. Previously, Justine was Chief Midwife at NHS Tayside (until August 2019), including a period as Midwifery Professional Adviser to the Chief Midwife for Scotland, Scottish Government (January to June 2018). Justine has undertaken a variety of additional professional roles, including chairing the Royal College of Midwives Lead Midwives Scotland Group for a five-year period. Justine will take up a new role as Director of Midwifery, NHS Lothian in early 2021.
It is a condition of Justine's appointment that she lives or works, wholly or mainly in Scotland whilst serving on the Council from May 2021.
Dr Gloria Rowland (Registered Nurse, Midwife and SCPHN) - Council Associate
Gloria first trained as a registered nurse and midwife in Nigeria before relocating to the United Kingdom. Gloria completed her NMC adaptation programme to become registered as a nurse and subsequently qualified as a midwife, Specialist Community Public Health Nurse and Doctor of Clinical Practice.
She has a strong passion for change, innovation and transformation of health services. She has worked within the NHS and community settings as a Consultant Midwife and Head of Midwifery. In 2018, Gloria became Director for Midwifery at Barts Health NHS Trust which has the largest maternity services in the UK.

About the NMC
Our vision is safe, effective and kind nursing and midwifery that improves everyone's health and wellbeing. As the professional regulator of more than 700,000 nursing and midwifery professionals, we have an important role to play in making this a reality.
Our core role is to regulate. First, we promote high professional standards for nurses and midwives across the UK, and nursing associates in England. Second, we maintain the register of professionals eligible to practise. Third, we investigate concerns about nurses, midwives and nursing associates – something that affects less than one percent of professionals each year. We believe in giving professionals the chance to address concerns, but we'll always take action when needed.
To regulate well, we support our professions and the public. We create resources and guidance that are useful throughout people's careers, helping them to deliver our standards in practice and address new challenges. We also support people involved in our investigations, and we're increasing our visibility so people feel engaged and empowered to shape our work.
Regulating and supporting our professions allows us to influence health and social care. We share intelligence from our regulatory activities and work with our partners to support workforce planning and sector-wide decision making. We use our voice to speak up for a healthy and inclusive working environment for our professions.

The synthesis and fungicidal activity of some novel phosphoramidates
Eccles, Peter John (1984) The synthesis and fungicidal activity of some novel phosphoramidates. Doctoral thesis, Polytechnic of North London.
371399.pdf - Published Version
Abstract / Description
The synthesis of novel fungicidal phosphoramidates was the main objective of the present work. Various fungitoxic substituents were included in their structure together with a trichloromethyl group which has been shown to enhance fungicidal activity in other compounds.
Fourteen compounds containing the 1,1,1-trichloro-2-(diethoxyphosphinylamino)ethyl group were synthesised from the condensation product of chloral and diethyl phosphoramidate. These included one derivative which also contained the 1,1,1-trichloro-2-(bisdimethylaminophosphinyl- amino)ethyl group. Other fungitoxic substituents introduced into the molecular structure of the compounds include imidazole 1,2,4-triazole, morpholine, piperazine, dimethyldithiocarbamate, diethyldithiocarbamate, xanthate and 5,6-dihydro-2-methyl-1,4-oxathiin-3-carboxylate.
Preliminary investigations were carried out into the synthesis of compounds containing the 1,1,1-trichloro-2-(bisdimethylaminophosphinyl- amino)ethyl group via the condensation of chloral with N,N,N',N'-tetramethyIphosphoric triamide but these proved to be unfruitful due to side reactions.
Similar side reactions occurred, but to a lesser extent, when chloral was condensed with 0-ethyl N, N-dimethylphosphorodiamidate, and one derivative was prepared containing the 1,1,1-trichloro-2-(ethoxydimethylaminophosphinylamino)ethyl group.
The fifteen potential fungicides were characterised by elemental analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry, mass spectrometry, and infra-red spectroscopy.
Their fungicidal activity was assessed in vitro against spores of Fusarium culmorum, Fusarium oxysporum, Helminthosporium sativum, Helminthosporium avenge, Septoria nodorum, Ophiobolus graminis, Piricularia oryzoe and Rhizoctania solani and in vivo against Dreschlera teres and Septoria nodorum. These pathogens were chosen because they affect economically important crops, mainly wheat and barley or, in the case of P. oryzae, rice. All the compounds showed some fungicidal activity, the best results being shown by 0,0-diethyl-N-2,2,2-trlchloro-1-(dimethylthiocarbamoylthio)ethyl phosphoramidate against Fusarium culmorum.

We did a quick afternoon at Beaver Creek. We knew it was going to be a busy day when we saw the cars start parking on a Highway 6. After a nice lunch from Larkburger and a Wit from Crazy Mountain we headed up.
By the afternoon the snow was already a bit slushy. Temperatures were in the 30s so it was great weather for humans (but not for snow). After some tree runs, which still had powder, at Bachelor Gulch we ended the day on the sunny patio at Mami's Cabin. The umbrella bar is one of my favorite places to be and on a warm day the picnic tables were welcoming.

VSEPR: Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion The molecular structure of molecules may be predicted with surprising accuracy using VSEPR concepts. There are 3 sigma bonds which mean we have three regions. 3― has 12 electrons or 6 pairs of electrons. The arrangement of the electron pairs is octahedral, but there are 3 non bonding pairs. Therefore, we place Arsenic in the center of the molecule, and place an Oxygen atom above, below, left, and right of the arsenic atom to form the Lewis structure. Next, we add all the valence electrons to get the total for the molecule: 5+24+3 = 32 total valence electrons. So all oxygens without What is Electron Pair Geometry? The VSEPR method describes the properties of the bonds in a molecule. Arsenic on the periodic table is in Group 5, therefore it has 5 valence electrons.

We have three molecules of iodine here which along with an extra elect… One of these regions, however, is a lone pair, which is not included in the molecular geometry, though it does influence the shape of the molecule ( Figure 7 ). Oxygen is in group 6, therefore each oxygen has 6 valence electrons. The chief tenet of the theory is that electron groups (either lone pairs or bonding pairs of electrons) will try to maximize the distance between themselves and minimize repulsions between electron pairs. What was the weather in Pretoria on 14 February 2013? When the central atom has 6 bonding pairs of electron the geometry is octahedral. You have now formed the Lewis structure for AsO4 3-. Is this college chemistry? Calculating X plus E, nitrate has a steric number of 3. To do this, you will need a periodic table of the elements. ing pairs of electrons around the central carbon atom; the electron-pair geometry is tetrahedral, as is the molecular structure (Figure 4). The arrangement of three regions of high electron density gives a trigonal planar electron-pair geometry. Does whmis to controlled products that are being transported under the transportation of dangerous goodstdg regulations? By minimizing formal charges, you get the simplest form of the atom as As single bonded to three oxygens and double-bonded to one. The VSEPR model assumes that electron pairs in the valence shell of a central atom will adopt an arrangement that minimizes repulsions between these electron pairs by maximizing the distance between them. For example, in the Lewis structure of water, we can see that it has two atoms and two lone pairs of electrons. The electrons in the valence shell of a c… Also, iodine is in the seventh group of the periodic table and has seven valence electrons in its outer orbit. Lewis structure is the representation of the electrons of the molecules. Explain the difference between saturated and unsaturated fats. Draw the Lewis structure of AsO4^3− showing all lone pairs. Good luck with the Chemistry!! It is important to note that electron-pair geometry around a central atom is not the same thing as its molecular structure. I have no idea how to do this. The electrons in the valence shell of a c… You do this by remembering "VSEPR". Since there are 4 oxygen atoms in the molecule, we multiply 6 valence electrons by 4 oxygen atoms, which results in 24 valence electrons total for oxygen. Nitrate ion == The Lewis structure for NO3^- must accommodate 24 valence electrons. Begin by placing 2 of the valence electrons around each atom, and repeat until all 32 available valence electrons in the molecule are used up (keep in mind not to violate the "octet rule"). Number of non-bonding electrons = 26 - 6 = 20. This will force there to be three resonance structures in which one of the oxygen atoms will have a double bond.

Note the number of electron regions around the central atom, and of these which are bonding or lone pairs (non-bonding pairs) Step 2: Use this info to determine the 3D geometry of the molecule. The oxygens that bond once will each have a -1 charge facing away from the As; therefore a -3 charge on the whole molecule. Solution for Draw the Lewis structure of AsO4^3− showing all lone pairs. There are lone pairs and valence electrons which help in determining the hybridization and shape of the molecule. The molecular formula is AsO4 with a -3 charge. Valence shell electron-pair repulsion theory (VSEPR theory) enables us to predict the molecular structure, including approximate bond angles around a central atom, of a molecule from an examination of the number of bonds and lone electron pairs in its Lewis structure. On the other hand, the ammonia molecule, NH 3, also has four electron pairs associated with the nitrogen atom, and thus has a tetrahedral electron-pair geometry… Still have questions? AsO4 -3 has a total of 32 electrons. Lets consider the Lewis structure for CCl 4. Number of Electron Groups: 3 Why is it called "Angular Momentum Quantum Number" for a numbering system based on the number of subshells/orbitals in a given element? Electron-Pair Geometry. Arsorite | AsO3-3 | CID 544 - structure, chemical names, physical and chemical properties, classification, patents, literature, biological activities, safety/hazards/toxicity information, supplier lists, and more. All Rights Reserved. As there are molecules of Iodine, one molecule of Iodinewill be in the centre. Since the molecule has a -3 charge, this means the molecule has 3 EXTRA electrons found in this particular molecule. Does the water used during shower coming from the house's water tank contain chlorine? All the bond angles are 90Ü. In the model demonstration above, we said that the blue spheres represent atoms. This means that there are three bonded atoms and one lone pair for a coordination number of four around the nitrogen, the same as occurs in H 2 O. I hope this helped. It is important to note that electron-pair geometry around a central atom is not the same thing as its molecular structure. The arrangement of three regions of high electron density gives a trigonal planar electron-pair geometry. The molecular formula is AsO4 with a -3 charge. That means we have an S and two P orbitals to be hybridized. That's it!!! You will also need to know how to form Lewis and resonance structures. That's the theory behind VSEPR diagrams anyways. Because nitrogen has no lone electron pairs, E is equal to zero. How long will the footprints on the moon last? COVID-19 is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation. Hopefully you have learned about the "octet rule" in your class. The molecular formula is AsO4 with a -3 charge. =). However, in actual molecules, they can be atoms or lone pairs of electrons. Provide examples? So the Lewis diagram has central atom Br with single bonds between the Br atom and each O atom and there is one pair of non-bonding electrons on the Br atom (and three pairs … An AsO4^3− ion is polar or non polar ((On the homework feedback, … Get your answers by asking now. AsO4 This is an AX₄ system, so it has a tetrahedral geometry. Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) is a theory that states that the 3d orientation, also known as the molecular geometry, of a molecule is not dependent on its chemical formula but on the repulsion of valence electrons.In other words, two molecules with the general formulas `AB_3` may look completely different in real life: one may be a pyramid whereas the other … With a steric number of 3, and no lone electron pairs, nitrate is described as having a trigonal planar geometry. One sigma bond and two pairs of unbonded electrons. What is the Lewis dot structure for AsO4-3? The octet rule states that each atom in the molecule needs to have 4 electron PAIRS (8 individual valence electrons) in order to form an octet. The electron-pair geometry and molecular structure are identical, and CO 2 molecules are linear. Who is the longest reigning WWE Champion of all time? Therefore, the electron pair geometry is tetrahedral and the molecular geometry is tetrahedral. AsO4 -3 has a total of 32 electrons. one with the double bond which would have 2 pairs. Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory, or VSEPR theory (/ ˈ v ɛ s p ər, v ə ˈ s ɛ p ər / VESP-ər,: 410 və-SEP-ər), is a model used in chemistry to predict the geometry of individual molecules from the number of electron pairs surrounding their central atoms., adopt an arrangement that minimizes this repulsion. The electron-dot structure of NH 3 places one pair of nonbonding electrons in the valence shell of the nitrogen atom. In octahedral geometry 4 terminal atoms lie in a square plane with the remaining 2 terminal atoms perpendicular to the square plane. Identify the molecular geometry of AsO4^... A: Lewis structure or the electron dot-structure can … b) it'll be linear shaped. In this method, the geometry of a molecule is predicted by the number of valence electrons pairs around the central atom. For trigonal pyramidal geometry the bond angle is slightly less than 109.5 degrees, around 107 degrees. I hope that made sense. In total, there are four unitsaround the oxygen in water: The sum of the number of atoms and lone pairs is … The electron-pair geometry and molecular structure are identical, and CO 2 molecules are linear. When drawing VSEPR diagrams in the future, just try to imagine a molecule in 3d with everything as far away from each other as possible. Number of bonds = 6/2 = 3. Oxygen is in group 6, therefore each oxygen has 6 valence electrons. When did sir Edmund barton get the title sir and how? VSEPR Theory. view the full answer Previous question Next question That's actually it for this one.... nice and easy. How much money do you start with in monopoly revolution? but I can try to describe it). I haven't been taught about the VSEPR model, but I'm expected to be able to do this. Briefly explain why amino acid and fatty acid both are considered acid.? Identify the molecular geometry of AsO4^3−. The two are related (both concern basic geometry), but there is one important difference between the two: Electron pair geometry involves unbonded atoms. From the electron-pair repulsion model, predict the geometry of each of the following molecules: GeCl2 The number of electron pairs, number of lone pairs, and geometry are given for the central atom. (b) We write the Lewis structure of BCl 3 as: Thus we see that BCl 3 contains three bonds, and there are no lone pairs of electrons on boron.

Sparks will fly when these three masters of the flatpick combine forces! Scott Nygaard, Jody Stecher and Eric Thompson have collaborated in various combinations (most recently as part of Kleptograss) but this will mark their first performance as a trio. Guitars will be front and center, but they may play other instruments too — mandolin, fiddle, banjo, maybe some cuatro — and Jody's soaring vocals will be part of the mix as well. The repertoire could come from almost anywhere including the fertile imaginations of Jody, Eric and Scott – these virtuoso pickers started with bluegrass and old-time music, but they have also delved into jazz and swing, Irish and Scottish, Cajun, blues, Puerto Rican etc. etc. Scott, Jody and Eric have worked with too many notable musicians to list here, but some of them are: Peter Rowan, David Grisman, Chris Thile, Joan Baez, Mike Seeger, Tim O'Brien, David Nelson, Jerry Garcia, Maria Muldaur, Laurie Lewis…you get the picture.

Baverstocke is a name whose history on English soil dates back to the wave of migration that followed the Norman Conquest of England of 1066. The Baverstocke family lived in Wiltshire where they held a family seat from the 11th century. The family takes its name from a place called Baverstock in this area.
The surname Baverstocke was first found in Wiltshire at Baverstock, a small village and former civil parish. Conjecturally they were Lords of the manor of Baverstock, originally Babestoche, which was held at the time of the taking of the Domesday Book Survey in 1086, by the Abbess of Wilton.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Baverstocke research.
Another 53 words (4 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Baverstocke History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Anglo-Norman names are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. When the Normans became the ruling people of England in the 11th century, they introduced a new language into a society where the main languages of Old and later Middle English had no definite spelling rules. These languages were more often spoken than written, so they blended freely with one another. Contributing to this mixing of tongues was the fact that medieval scribes spelled words according to sound, ensuring that a person's name would appear differently in nearly every document in which it was recorded. The name has been spelled Baverstocke, Baverstock, Baverstoke, Bayverstock, Beaverstock, Beaverstocke and many more.
More information is included under the topic Early Baverstocke Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
For many English families, the political and religious disarray that plagued their homeland made the frontiers of the New World an attractive prospect. Thousands migrated, aboard cramped disease-ridden ships. They arrived sick, poor, and hungry, but were welcomed in many cases with far greater opportunity than at home in England. Many of these hardy settlers went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Among early immigrants bearing the name Baverstocke or a variant listed above were: the family of Baverstock who landed in New England in 1720.

Movie Review: No One Is Safe From Mockery or Murder In "Slashening: The Final Beginning"
Tuesday, April 13, 2021 | Reviews
BY: DAKOTA DAHL
Starring Addie Weyrich, Jean Louise O'Sullivan, Rasheda Crockett, Patrick Foy and Lloyd Kaufman
Written and Directed by Brandon Bassham
Troma Entertainment
Ah, Troma, you old rascal. Not only is Troma the world's longest-running independent movie studio, but they have a personal place in my heart, since my review of Troma's Victor Goodview is literally the first article I ever reviewed for our sweet, little blog. Of course, Troma also occupies a huge space in the cult film scene, with classics like The Toxic Avenger and Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D. enduring in the hearts of millions even to this day. It's this lasting fondness that always makes it a joy to review a Troma film, and SLASHENING: THE FINAL BEGINNING is no exception. It's crass, offensive, funny, and gory, so pretty much everything you'd expect, but not in a simple copy/paste kind of way. It's a fairly accurate and scathing takedown of modern idiosyncrasies that only sometimes trips its way into directionless contrarianism.
As it turns out, SLASHENING: THE FINAL BEGINNING is actually a sequel to 2015's The Slashening, but if you haven't seen it, don't worry, neither have I. Lucky for us both, the characters at the beginning exposition the shit out of the audience and explain the plot of the first movie. Basically, a bunch of young women at a sleepover start getting murdered, on top of wave after wave of pizza delivery people. It ends with some final girls, some betrayal, and a lifetime commitment to a mental institution. Fast forward to the incredibly sucky now-times, where a house warming party is being held in the murder house from the first film.
The over-the-top caricatures of modern people waver uncontrollably between insightful commentary and bullshit windmill tilting-at-ery. For every time writer/director Brandon Bassham pokes fun at a wine snob droning on endlessly, or someone pretending to derive pleasure from "docking," there's a downward-punching joke about people establishing consent while drunkenly hooking up. In what world is taking steps to avoid sexual assault a bad thing? Luckily, the reactionary takes are fewer than the insightful ones, so the whole story ends up being more funny than cringe-y. Anyways, the house-warming guests all get killed by someone wearing the killer's mask from the first film.
Speaking of the first film, we smash cut to a support group for people with trauma, run by Pat (Patrick Foy) who is appropriately mangled. He's burned, missing an eye, and proudly castrated, and he leads the group in accepting the things done to them. The group adds to the films weirdness, with a performative ally feminist claiming to simply be empathetic to other women's trauma, a "victim" of various serial killers who just happens to kill everyone she doesn't like, unrepentant sociopaths who are court-mandated to be there after running over an old man, a stoner who DMT'd himself into doubting all reality, and a girl who walked in on her father's multiple suicide attempts rounding out the troop. This latter member, Madison Santangeli (Addie Weyrich) has a connection to the first film: it turns out that her suicidal father was the pizza parlor owner who sent the aforementioned wave after wave of delivery drivers to their deaths.
Enjoying this film (as with most Troma fare) requires an assumption of good faith on the part of the makers from the audience, where you have to assume that all of the criticisms of shallow, superficial "millennials" aren't coming from a place of anti-woke, right-wing crusading, but instead are aimed at all extremists and hypocrites, regardless political affiliation. After all, SLASHENING: THE FINAL BEGINNING, is primarily a critique of Brooklyn's so-called elite, a notorious wave of self-assured gentrifiers. The film is full of instances of men talking over women at art shows and white people threatening Black business owners with negative Yelp reviews. These are real problems with self-described "liberals" in our modern world, and using hyperbole to shine a light on it is a worthwhile endeavor. If you can do all that while having a massive body count, all the better.
SLASHENING: THE FINAL BEGINNING has, in inimitable Troma fashion, laughs and guts galore, and if it sounds like your cup of tea, and frankly, if you're on this site, we know it is, you should definitely check out its digital premier on Laemmle Virtual Cinema on April 30. But wait, there's more! The premier will open with a Q&A at 7pm PST/10 pm EST with cast, crew and producer Lloyd Kaufman, President of Troma Entertainment. For those of us who are going a little stir crazy while in quarantine, this kind of virtual event is a good way to stave off cabin fever while maintaining an appropriate social distance.

Police have requested the people in and around the vicinity of the airport to inform them if they notice any suspicious movement of strangers.
An alert has been in the city by Mumbai Police and cops have intensified night patrolling in the wake of the terror attack at the Pathankot Air Force Base in Punjab.
"Police have started doing naka-bandi at several places in the megalopolis. Suspicious activities are being checked at railway stations, lodges and hotels," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Detection) Dhananjay Kulkarni said.
Since yesterday, police have intensified the vigil and and night patrolling in the city, an official said.
At least two more terrorists were discovered at the IAF base as security forces continued their operations for the second day with military casualties mounting to seven including a Lieutenant Colonel of the NSG who died today.
Security at Hindon Air Force base on the outskirts of the national capital has been stepped up and a high alert too.
Senior Superintendent of Police Dharmendra Singh said that a combing operation was conducted in areas surrounding the Air Force station.
Hindon Air Force base is the largest air base in Asia.
"All senior police officers and personnel from various police stations were immediately summoned and a combing operation was conducted in all residential colonies and villages situated adjacent to the Air Force station's boundary wall fencing," Singh said.
Elaborating the security measures, the SSP said that an Standard Operating Protocol (SOP) has been established between civil police and the Hindon Air Force base officers under supervision of city Superintendent of Police Ajay Pal Sharma.
Briefing about the protocol, SP (city) Sharma said that a hotline will be established between Hindon Air base and police control room to ease communications in case of any emergency.
Not only Mumbai and Hindon Air Force base, security is also tightened at Mudhurai airport. Visitors entry has been banned for almost a week.
The airport has been put under a five-tier security arrangement and visitors entry banned for six days from Sunday, police said.

Your own private acre! We know this house is fabulous! We vacationed on this island for ten years before we found it and we knew then we'd found the perfect place for us!
Being travelers ourselves, we hate hidden fees. We never charge for additional guests.
Designed for optimum tropic living, this house has vented vaults to release the warm rising air, ceiling fans and two sets of french doors to swing open during the heat of the day to allow the trade winds to blow through. There are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and an expansive wrap around porch with outdoor living, eating, a porch swing with a jungle view and even a swinging bed for your enjoyment.
This home has all new appliances, furniture, carpet, new pillow-top mattresses, and all the comforts of home sitting on one lush acre of green grass with avocado trees and regal palms blowing in the breeze. Lots of privacy and lots of adventures to be had nearby!
Located conveniently between Hilo, Volcano, and the artsy little town of Pahoa, there are so many exciting things to do. Things we never miss; swimming at Carl Smith Beach Park (swim in a white sand-bottomed lagoon and sunbathe in a park-like grassy setting), enjoying the fresh produce, jewelry and trinkets at the farmers markets (in Maku'u 5 minutes away and in another in Hilo), Visiting Volcano National Park (check ahead to see if lava is flowing!), eating in charming Pahoa restaurants, and soaking in the local culture Wednesday evenings at Uncle Roberts Kalapana market (a great place to have dinner, listen to music, have a cocktail and watch the locals dance the hula!) We'll leave you a binder with all our favorite things to do and how to get there! Hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Much Aloha!
Our family of four (with two young girls) currently resides in Anchorage, Alaska. We love the similarities between Hawaii and Alaska; the mountains, the clean oceans, the small population density, the sense of adventure and being far off the beaten path. Even though Walmart, Safeway, Target and Home Depot are just down the street, the people on this side of the island are so friendly and it is undeveloped enough we feel like we are in an exotic place! We hope to retire here. In the meantime, we plan to share it with family and friends and stay as often as possible!
Located in the heart of the Puna district, there's so many exiting things to do here!
Brand new ceramic top electric stovetop.
Paper towels, toilet paper, hand soap and dish soap ready and waiting.
Equipped for all your cooking needs and more; dishes, pots, pans, assorted glasses, coffee maker, toaster and kitchenaide mixer.
A copy of the Big Island Revealed, to go to guidebook is available as well as a binder with all of our personal recommendations.
One acre of green grass. 4 avocado trees, one mango, lilikoi, madarins, papayas, bananas, pineapple and coconuts are available to be picked when in season.
A large covered porch wraps around the house.
Nice secluded house with easy access to lots of activities. Everything you would need was there and the house felt like home. Loved the tropical bird sounds at night and watching the wild chickens in the yard in the morning. The owner provided a lot of helpful and useful information for making the most out of the experience here. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
We loved being close to Hilo- but out of the way in our own private area. We thoroughly enjoyed eating on the deck and listening to the frogs at night. It rained on our last day- but we could still enjoy the cool air from the covered deck. Plenty of room inside and out for 3 adults and two kids!
Beautiful place. So pleased, it was perfect!
Nice for a family vacation.
There was a little miscommunication when we arrived at the property that was however immediately solved by the owners although at the time they were aboard on business. We really appreciate the hospitality, kindness and professionalism of the owners. The entire stay was wonderful. The property is perfect for a family vacation lodging, roomy, comfy, clean and well equipped. It is convenient to get to places as well. Thanks.
The first thing that struck us was the sound of nature when we arrived in the evening at Hawaiian Breeze. The frogs were singing and the stars were shining brightly.
This home was perfect for our family of 4 adults.The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed and the laundry was very convenient. The porch and living room were cozy and inviting. We enjoyed our week-long stay here, and the location was perfect for exploring the entire Big Island. Also, the hosts' recommendations were excellent--we took many of them and were very pleased with the accurate descriptions. Highly recommended.
Fantastic place for a fantastic vacation!
When we came from Utah we wanted to make sure we saw both sides of the island. The Hilo side was by far our favorite and we couldn't have found a better place to stay! We've stayed in many, many, many HomeAway/VRBO/AirBnB/etc. places and this one is right up at the top of our favorite list!
Plenty of space for our family of 6, lots of space outside to kids to play while parents get some R&R or cook food. Location is far enough out to feel private and secluded, but close enough to do everything we wanted to around Hilo.
Trena's suggestion book is amazing our favorite activity of the trip (Shipman's Beach) we pulled from her lists.
Thanks, Trena for the amazing time and sharing your space with us!

Donations from the company's Pedal for a Cause fundraiser helped bring awareness to the need for chiropractic care in the military.
October 2, 2014 — A $5,000 donation from Standard Process Inc., a manufacturer of nutritional supplements, will help the Patriot Project continue its mission to bring more awareness to the benefits chiropractic care can provide the nation's military service men and women, active and retired, as well as their families. Standard Process encouraged attendees of Florida Chiropractic Association's 2014 National Convention and Expo, held Aug. 21-24, in Orlando, Florida, to Pedal for a Cause and raise money for the project.
Visitors to the Standard Process booth used stationary bikes equipped with a blender powered by cycling to mix their SP Complete shake, a nutritious blend of amino acids, fatty acids, and other vitamins to support intestinal, muscular, and immune health. As they pedaled, they raised money for the Patriot Project.
Standard Process' mission is to help people improve the quality of their life by reaching optimal health and wellness. The company carries out its mission by providing healthcare professionals with safe, effective, high-quality dietary supplements, as well as by becoming involved in causes which can help raise the public's awareness about the benefits of good nutrition and chiropractic care.
Patriot Project founder, Timothy P. Novelli, DC, said efforts like Standard Process' Pedal for Cause help raise awareness that chiropractic care can address optimum function and the health of the whole person, especially for military service men and women.
Earlier in August, DuBois, Novelli, and other Patriot Project supporters were able to discuss several initiatives during a special event, "Our Heroes Don't Wear Capes," held in North Canton, Ohio. Topics discussed included how to get chiropractic physicians commissioned in the military similar to the commissions currently offered to other doctors, such as medical doctors.
Event attendees met Patriot Project supporters retired U.S. Navy Lts. Thomas Norris and Michael Thornton, retired Hospital Corpsman Second Class Donald Ballard, U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Leroy Petry, and four of the 78 living Medal of Honor recipients. The Medal of Honor is the nation's highest military honor awarded by Congress for risk of life in combat beyond the call of duty. Also honored at the event were Patriot Project participants retired U.S. Navy Command Master Chief Hershel Davis and retired U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Shilo Harris.

Life's Plan History
In 1986, the Ray Graham Association began a non-profit pooled trust called the Self Sufficiency Trust of Illinois. The Ray Graham Association has been providing services to people with developmental disabilities and their families for over 50 years. The Self Sufficiency Trust was a first of its kind in America as a pooled trust providing a financing mechanism that could benefit people with disabilities while not jeopardizing their public benefits.
In the 1990s, other trust options were enacted under federal law called OBRA 93 payback trusts. In 1996, the Board of Directors (Trustees) for the Self Sufficiency Trust decided to rename the company as Life'sPlan Inc. This re-incorporated pooled trust offers its beneficiaries both the OBRA payback trust along with its original third party pooled trust. Life's Plan as a pooled trust service has been providing a professional trustee service and case management to its customers with disabilities and their families for over 30 years.

Clutter, clutter, clutter. Is there any way to get rid of it? If it's isn't in our homes, in our workspace it's in our minds.
Clutter is in all of us. It can be seriously difficult however to stay focused and driven if you find yourself overwhelmed by clutter. A cluttered mind is usually restless and unfocused, a recipe for procrastination and un-productivity. At times you may notice that clutter is overwhelming and the end result causes stress and anxiety as the to-do list of life grows longer and longer.
Clutter in our mind can begin with worrying about the future, stressing about deadlines and taking on too many tasks at once. Fortunately for us, there are many strategies that we can put into place that helps us tidy up our mind our "compartmentalise" tasks thus enabling us to be more productive and overall, happier.
I know it has been said before, but this is really true. Keep your desk tidy and your brain will thank you for it. There is nothing more stressful than a chaotic workspace that forces you to rummage around endless pieces of scrap paper, letters, and forms. Our brains simply cannot focus on getting a task done when it is receiving subliminal signals to organise our workspace. Get it organised! This way you can look at each task, tackle it and move on to the next without that nagging "there is more to be done" feeling.
Each and every morning, wake yourself up and write a list of jobs to do today. Choose a medium, whether it's paper, notepad on your phone or an app online. No item is too big or small so pop down brushing your teeth if it will help you to get yourself up and ready. Ticking off each thing as you complete a task is mentally relaxing and helps keep you motivated to move on to the next job. Your brain will thank you for that feeling of small achievements throughout the day far quicker than waiting until all the jobs are complete to feel satisfaction.
- Day to day stress.
- Goals and how you will achieve them.
- Concerns that are causing you to worry.
This is so important to anyone who is an over-thinker. Let go of those little things that upset you yesterday or that niggle in the back of your brain that says you may have upset someone or forgotten about that tiny detail. It is SO easy to allow your brain to take over and before you know it your problems have grown arms and legs whereas they could have just simply disappeared. I know this is easier said than done but allowing the past to stay in the past really will help you focus on a brighter, more positive future.
Tip: Take some time to go for a walk that can help clear your mind of all of those things it wants to hold onto.
Think about your work logically. If you were to begin packing for a holiday would you throw everything you brain thought of at once into your suitcase or would you strategically think of each item/category you may need and then pack accordingly? Use this in relation to your work. Take each task on its own and knuckle down to complete it. This way your brain stays clear of all the other stuff that can wait its turn enabling you to give your 100% into everything you do. If we do several things all at once, you could find that you only give 70% of your effort to it. Separating tasks and ticking them off as you go encourages maximum effort.
There are so many apps out there that can help you to track your sleep and maybe giving one of them a go could help you to finally declutter your mind! You may find that sometimes you aren't getting enough sleep or your sleeping patterns aren't ideal. Maybe sleeping with the TV on is causing you to have crazy dreams or perhaps you sleep past the point you need to and wake to feel groggy and unmotivated. Consider having a think about how much and what quality of sleep you get an attempt to rectify it.
This is alluded to in point no. 4 but seriously, get outdoors! It is so important that we allow ourselves time to go outside and breathe in some fresh air. The outdoors can do wonders not only for your physical health but your mental health as well. I personally like to go for a walk or do some yoga outside. Don't take your phone and have a go at listening to the natural sounds around you. It promotes a cathartic release for the brain and can really help you to feel relaxed and ready to take on the world.
This is a great tip for anyone who feels their stress effects their body physically. Take some time to really breathe and feel the air fill your lungs (I know it may sound silly but give it a go and you'll see). When you focus your mind on breathing, it has a chance to let go of all of those worries and stresses that cause your cluttered mind. You feel instantly refreshed and relaxed by focusing on the most basic of functions and best of all, deep breathing can be done anywhere. So, if you ever find yourself stressed out or anxious try taking some deep breaths to help enable that calm state we want.
Instead of exhausting your mental energy, use your energy for constructive thinking and positive action. Avoid over thinking and constantly worrying about those tasks day in day out – they won't get any better in the long term just because they sit on our brain. Distract yourself, do something that forces you to take time to relax and enjoy your time. Then, once you feel like you have allowed yourself time to think of a new perspective make a plan and take action.
Mental clutter causes serious traffic in our inner world. Think of it as a road jam, without each car slowing down and moving towards it's direction the congestion would never clear. Use your time to really manage those inner thoughts, take them on one by one and find yourself less stressed and achieving more in no time.

3 knifed outside Univ. of Tokyo before entrance exams, teenager held
KYODO NEWS - Jan 15, 2022 - 23:36 | All, Japan
Two high school students and a man were wounded in a knife attack on Saturday just outside the University of Tokyo ahead of nationwide entrance exams and a teenager apparently frustrated with his academic performance has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, police said.
The 72-year-old man was seriously injured after he and the two students, aged 17 and 18, were slashed in the back around 8:30 a.m. in front of one of the gates to the university's main campus, according to the police.

The male and female students, both traveling from neighboring Chiba Prefecture to take the exams, did not sustain life-threatening injuries, with the police quoting the 17-year-old suspect as saying he was not acquainted with the three, who were walking on the sidewalk separately.
"I was not doing well in my studies so I wanted to cause an incident and die," said the suspect, a second-year student at a private high school in Nagoya who was not going to take the exams, after he was arrested near the university, considered one of the most prestigious in the country, according to the police.
"I was studying for the University of Tokyo to become a doctor, but my grades have been poor for a year and I lost confidence," the teenager, who has confessed, was also quoted as saying. "If I could not become a doctor, I thought I'd kill someone and carry a guilty feeling on my back while committing 'seppuku' (harakiri)."
The attacker has told the police he came to Tokyo by an express bus that was to arrive in the capital at around 6 a.m. on Saturday, an investigative source said, adding that his father notified the Aichi prefectural police on Friday night that his son was missing.
According to the police, the attacker, whose name has been withheld as he is a minor, also said he had brought the knife he used from his home in the central Japan city, about 250 kilometers away from Tokyo.
When police officers arrived, he was sitting on the ground, and the bloodstained kitchen knife, with a 12-centimeter blade, was found nearby, they said.
The police said his bag had plastic and glass bottles containing combustible liquid, adding he also had a folding saw and another knife.
The attack occurred as Japan's two-day unified university entrance exams, sat by more than 530,000 applicants, began nationwide amid concerns over the rapid spread of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus among students and their family members.
Despite the incident, the University of Tokyo, one of more than 650 test venues, conducted the first day of the annual exams as scheduled starting at 9:30 a.m.
The quick arrest was possible because the 72-year-old man from Tokyo rushed to a nearby police box, they said.

Although violent crime is relatively rare in Japan, a number of random attacks have occurred in recent months, including an arson case at a mental health clinic in Osaka in mid-December that killed 25 people.
The teenage attacker was also quoted as saying he started a fire at a station near the campus before the incident.
The Tokyo Fire Department said that it was alerted to a fire within the premises of Todaimae Station on the Namboku Line operated by Tokyo Metro Co. at around 8:30 a.m. and that it was extinguished around an hour later.
The knife attack appeared to unsettle some test-takers at the venue, to which police and firefighting vehicles were mobilized. The incident occurred outside the gate of the Yayoi section of the main campus of the university.
An 18-year-old test-taker said he learned about what happened via Twitter. "It has become a big incident and it's scary. I want to do my best in the test and not be affected," he added.
Another test-taker, an 18-year-old high school student from Tokyo, expressed her anxiety over the crime at a time when people are already feeling jittery about the coronavirus.
A woman in her 50s who accompanied her son to the exam venue said she hopes her son will not be shaken. "He studied so hard (for this) so I wanted him to be able to take the test in a good environment," she said.
The National Center for University Entrance Examinations urged the state-run, public and private universities that are the venues for the exams to beef up security measures.
The exams, conducted amid anti-COVID measures, drew 530,367 applicants and are taking place at 677 venues.
In Japan, standardized university entrance exams are held annually in two stages, with the first standardized for all universities and the second involving university-specific exams.

Easy dinner tonight - beef tacos.
We also had beef tacos last night.
Roasted cauliflower has been talked about a lot lately so thought I'd give it a try with the oven pork chops tonight. It was ok but it sure doesn't work with roasted broccolini. I don't like the smell in the house either. Everything was edible so that's a good thing.
I actually baked a Granny Pineapple Cake today, so there's that.
Granny Pineapple Cake...OMGosh, this is SO good! I've made it twice since you first posted the recipe Kay, and it's a big hit with everyone I've shared it with.
My roast chicken was very late, I think we finally ate at about 9:30pm. It was worth the wait, though! The chicken was perfect; the compound butter underneath the skin flavored the meat and kept it moist, the skin was crispy and perfectly browned, and the veggies under the chicken were delicious.


There are many benefits to building a deck for your home. A deck can beautify your home and provide space for barbecues and hosting an outdoor get together. Beginning Woodworking Tips.com is dedicated to making many types of woodworking projects easier. We do this by not just offering deck blueprints. But, by offering simple deck plans that can be used from the smallest deck designs to almost any size you can think of.
How large and type of deck that you build depends on what you want to use it for. Are you wanting a small deck that offers some standing room? Are you wanting to host parties on your deck? Do you want room for a barbecue grill? Or, do you want a deck that will even host a fire pit? These are all common uses for decks.
By answering these questions then you start to get a picture of the type and size of deck that you are looking for. If this is your first deck then you want to with one of the small deck designs that we offer. You can add sections to your deck later.
There are many simple deck plans available. You can find everything from small deck designs to decks that become full fledge wrap around porches. Beginning Woodworking Tips.com does not recommend trying to build your first deck from scratch. By identifying the perfect small deck design and obtaining a simple deck plan then you will save yourself time and money in wasted materials. You also will save yourself from going bald because you pulled your hair out.
As we have said, starting out with a small deck does not mean that will be the only deck you ever have. It is very possible and not as hard as many think to expand a deck. You have probably seen multi-level decks, many of these happened because the homeowner decided to add on later.
Quality deck blueprints especially simple deck plans will have more than a picture of the finished product. You will get a detailed and complete list of materials needed. You also will receive a list of the tools necessary to complete the job. Follow this list. If you are a novice at deck building then please resist the urge to make substitutions. By having the exact tools and amount of materials specified then you ensure that your deck build will go smoothly.
When you start building then please stick with the plans that you have. If you simply start building then you will spend more time backtracking because of simple mistakes. You also will increase the cost of your deck project because you have to replace materials that were cut improperly. By following the step-by-step instructions than you will start at the bottom.
You will begin by building the proper foundation for your deck. Just like your house, the stability of your deck depends on the foundation. You then will place the posts, build the deck frame, put on the deck floor, and finish with stairs (if needed), and lastly your rail. If you are doing a covered deck then the last thing will be the roof.


It is a sign of a band's success when they can release a bad album, recognized as so by media and fans alike, and still remain massively popular, sell-out stadiums that seat 50,000 people, and leave fans still crying for more work. Such is the story of Rush, who have released a multitude of albums throughout their lengthy career which, how does one put this, vary as much in their reception as the faces of their fans (which are numerous and diverse).
Rush was born in Anytown, Canada…Sarnia to be exact, and initially grew as a band by offering spunked-up versions of Lep Zepplin and Cream classics. Realizing quite quickly that Sarnia, as nice at it is, was not the place to launch a music career, the boys (who originally consisted on Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee and John Rutesy) took off to Toronto and soon saw their lives take off.
It took several albums, including Fly By Night and Caress of Steel, before Rush broke through with 2112. 1977's A Farewell To Kings, which featured Rush's megahit "Closer To The Heart", started a selling streak which continues to this day. Every album since this release has achieved gold or platinum status.
Rush were part of the founding movement of what was called "Progressive Rock". Not quite metal, not quite rock, the music combined eclectic melodies with long, looping solos. Even after critics declared Progressive Rock dead in the early '80s, Rush continued in their success with radio hit after radio hit.
Much of Rush's success (and criticism) has centered a round lead singer Geddy Lee. Originally singing with vocals that defy description, other than to make the comparison of a teacher scratching the blackboard with long fingernails, Lee toned down his act around 1982. It would be this new Geddy Lee, with all his personality and charisma, that lead Rush throughout the latter part of the '80s and into the next decade.
Despite their large success Rush has remained grounded. The band continues to devote their time to charitable causes and were given the honor of The Order of Canada in the early '90s to recognize their contributions to Canada and music in general.
