When is the Right Age to Teach Firearms Safety?

When is the �right� time to teach your kids to shoot a gun and teach them gun safety. Those are two different questions with two different answers. We've heard the tragic stories of accidental shootings. I firmly believe that knowledge is power when it comes to kids and guns. The earlier children learn basic gun safety the better.
Teach your children to never touch a gun without an adult present. Teach them to tell their friends the same thing. Teach the NRA basic gun safety rules whether or not they they are ready to shoot a gun. Teach them to every child you know.
When the time is right for them to learn to shoot..
TN: Tennessee names .50 caliber Barrett as the state rifle
Tennessee just named its state rifle: the .50-caliber Barrett, one of the most powerful rifles in the world.
The Barrett Model 82A1 now shares state symbol status alongside the mockingbird, the tomato and the raccoon.
"We are incredibly honored," said Chris Barrett, company president. "We're bringing pride and honor to our state."
The rifle was invented in Tennessee in 1982 by his father Ronnie Barrett, who was a photographer working out of his garage at the time, and is now the company's CEO.
TX: Thieves Rip Off Gun Store Door, Escape With Cache of Weapons in Southwest Houston
Submitted by: David Williamson
Website: http://keepandbeararms.com
A smash and grab crew of thieves emptied display cases and a wall of rifles Tuesday morning at Carter's County. Houston police say as many as ten suspects raided the store and got away with at least 50 weapons. The amount of weapons is not counting those they dropped in their haste to get out before police arrived.
Gun background checks: February is third-biggest month ever
February was the third-biggest month on record for gun background checks, according to data released Wednesday by the FBI.
Background checks, which the FBI conducts every time someone tries to buy a gun from a federally licensed dealer, rose to 2.6 million in February, according to the bureau.
February's total falls short of the record set in December, 2015, when 3.3 million background checks were recorded.
The second biggest month was in December, 2012, the month of the Sandy Hook school massacre that killed 26, when the FBI logged 2.8 million checks.
PA: Police: Man shot 2 in self-defense
Submitted by: Mark A. Taff
Website: http://www.marktaff.com
An initial investigation into Tuesday night's shooting of two young men in Queen Village has concluded that the 65-year-old gunman acted in self-defense, police said Wednesday.
The incident happened about 8:30 p.m. on the 700 block of South Second Street, police said.
The man's wife told police that she and her husband were walking on Second when they passed two men in their 20s and one of them barked, "What are you looking at?"
AZ: Scottsdale PD: Girlfriend acts in self-defense, stabs boyfriend
Police say a couple had been arguing, and the boyfriend tried to stab the girlfriend several times. During the struggle, the girlfriend grabbed a knife and stabbed the boyfriend in the arm, according to police.
The male then fled the apartment complex where he was contacted by arriving officers, police stated. The suspect was transported to an area hospital and is currently listed in serious condition.
Officer Kevin Watts says it appears the girlfriend is the victim � who acted in self-defense. Names of the involved parties are not being released at this time.
MO: Missouri Bill Would Make it Easier to Use Deadly Force in Self-Defense
Sen. Kurt Schaefer told a senate panel Wednesday that people should be able to do whatever it takes to defend themselves without worrying about a lawsuit afterward.
Current law allows people to use deadly force if they believe it is necessary to protect themselves from a serious or fatal injury or against a forcible felony. Otherwise, a person is expected to retreat from a confrontational situation, unless he or she is in a home, car or other private property.
MO: Missouri debates expanding 'stand your ground' law
The current self-defense format, known as �the castle doctrine�, has been a part of Missouri law since 2007.
�Stand your ground� rules would expand on �the castle doctrine�, and allow a person to use deadly force in self-defense without the duty of retreating, wherever they have a right to be in public, like a school, church, or sidewalk.
State Senator Kurt Schaefer (R � 19th District) is hoping to expand the rules, and he spoke to a senate panel on Wednesday about the possible change.
The Four Big Gun Rights Questions the Supreme Court May Have to Sort Out
Even before the death of Antonin Scalia, lower courts and policymakers were operating in limbo on significant issues such as assault weapons bans.
TX: The messy reality of guns on campus
The gun craze that stampeded legislators into requiring public colleges and universities to allow handguns on campus and in classrooms already has upset faculty members and students who opposed it.
At the University of Texas at Austin, a mile from the Capitol, the new law is causing the loss of the dean of the School of Architecture. Fritz Steiner, at UT since 2001, is leaving Texas to be dean of the University of Pennsylvania School of Design. He previously taught at Pennsylvania.
GA: Getting Schooled � Guns on Georgia Public Campuses
Some of the comments submitted by readers of the AJC article �Will guns on campus scare away high school students and their parents?� indicate these commenters need a little extra education in critical thinking, and at the very least, need to pay attention to basic facts regarding HB 859 that recently passed in House of the Georgia General Assembly.
OH: Guns in the Ohio Valley
Well, there are more permits, more background checks, more purchases, more crime, and more debate than ever.
A closer look at stats reveal that people living in the valley are following national trends. Across the U.S., purchases are at an all-time high. In 2015, the FBI conducted 44 firearms background checks every minute.
"Over the last 3 years, I've seen a rise in handgun sales," said Matt Smith, owner of Smith Outfitters.
"People are just getting scared and think, 'well it's best to protect myself,'" said Dave Viltor, owner of the Sportsman's Trading Post.
Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model Defends Gun Ownership
On March 2, Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Hannah Ferguson defended gun ownership, describing how she learned to shoot and suggesting people who fear firearm ownership do so from a lack of �gun knowledge.�
Ferguson told Fox 441 that her father was a sniper in the Marine Corps and her mother and brother were in the USMC as well. So her love for guns is mixed in with a love for the military.
The Best Four Gun Stocks to Buy
While gun stocks have performed extremely well during the Obama administration, they�ve tended to trade off the peaks that they hit shortly after political-inspired spikes. Dealers ordered too much stock and then struggled to sell their bloated inventories.
But with Obama�s term coming to an end, the great inadvertent gun salesman is retiring.
Of the presidential candidates, all of the Republicans are pretty gun-friendly, as is Bernie Sanders on the Democratic side. Hillary Clinton is less gun-friendly, but the kind of hysteria that accompanied the Obama administration is unlikely to continue in a Clinton presidency.
Disorder in the Court
Conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has died. What was a five to four advantage on the High Court for proponents of the Second Amendment is now an even split, and Democrats, always itching to have their way, with �gun control� and a host of other �progressive� agenda items, see a great chance to reverse polarity. So they�re pressuring the Republican-controlled Senate to exercise its Constitutional authority and provide �advice and consent� for Barack Obama�s nominee to replace Scalia.
CA: California Legislature Advances New Gun Control Measures
The battle over the Second Amendment has returned to the California Legislature. An Assembly committee approved several new gun control measures Tuesday on party-line votes.
One measure would prohibit tools like �bullet buttons� that critics say are used to evade California�s ban on assault rifles.
�The gun manufacturers have essentially made a mockery of our laws,� says Levine.
Democratic Assemblyman Mark Levine is the bill�s author.
�And if we are going to lead the nation, we need to strengthen our laws to make sure that no one can evade them.� says Levine.
Other bills would ban semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines and limit gun sales to one per person per month.
ME: Second Amendment necessary and important
The Constitution does, in fact, guarantee that one has the right to possess and use a firearm to protect oneself or one�s family and property against any aggressor, whether that aggressor is a stranger, a terrorist, a neighbor or an agent of an oppressive, dictatorial government. That basic natural right is paramount to the survival of our free republic, as well as to the individual, as much today as it was at the time of the creation of the Constitution.
Protecting the Second Amendment
Unfortunately, this is only the most recent action in the Administration�s long-running campaign to place more regulations on owning and purchasing guns. I believe the President�s focus is all wrong. We should enforce our current laws, fix our flawed mental health system and combat terrorism.
In fact, research conducted by Syracuse University shows that firearm prosecutions peaked at 11,015 under the Bush Administration in 2004, and dropped to 6,600 in 2014 under the current Administration.
ID: House Leadership Co-Sponsoring New Permitless Carry Bill
Another bill nixing the need for a concealed carry permit within city limits, this time with House GOP leadership support, was introduced on Wednesday.
The bill would allow anybody to carry concealed within city limits who is older than 21 and not otherwise barred from owning a gun because of a felony conviction, mental illness or other reason on a list that is already part of the law as a reason to deny a concealed carry permit, said Sen. Curt McKenzie, R-Nampa, who introduced the bill into the Senate State Affairs Committee.
�It makes our concealed carry law consistent between counties and cities,� said McKenzie, who is also chairman of that Senate committee.
AR: Police Chief Who Claimed His Truck Was Torched By Guns Rights Activists Pleads Guilty
Former police chief Balentine has now accepted a plea deal in federal court on a stolen property charge. I called Jamie Williams, the Daily Citizen writer who covered the case for more details.
Williams confirmed that an investigation into the burning of Balentine�s truck led towards Balentine himself, and the discovery that Balentine took a firearm that had been donated to the police department for a charity auction, sold the gun, and pocketed the proceeds. It is this stolen property charge that Balentine is pleading guilty to in what appears to be a deal to avoid mail fraud charges for the arson of his truck.
Record-Breaking Gun Sales Continue Through February
Record breaking gun sales continued once again in the month of February.
There were 2,613,074 firearms-related background checks performed by the FBI over the 29 days in February, a record for the month. February is now the ninth month in a row that has seen a record number of checks. The month saw fewer checks than the single-month record set in December 2015, but also saw an increase in checks over last month.
GA: Colleges should focus on education rather than guns. But aren�t they related?
The controversial campus carry gun bill gets a hearing today in the Senate Judiciary Committee meeting at 3 p.m.
It appears a warm Senate reception awaits House Bill 859, which would allow anyone 21 or older with a weapons license to carry a gun at a public college or university campus. Dormitories, fraternity and sorority houses, and athletic events would be excluded.
MyAJC.com reports the head of the Senate, Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle, will not block the bill, telling reporters, �I look forward to being at the governor�s signing ceremony for the gun bill.�
The Hard Truth About Suing Gun Manufacturers
Could you imagine being a business owner; selling a legal, functional product; and being sued every time an individual who buys your product uses it to commit a crime?
Should a rope manufacturer be liable when someone is hanged by that rope? Should a knife manufacturer be liable when someone is stabbed? Could a restaurant be sued when someone eats its perfectly safe food but dies of a heart attack or diabetic shock?
In each of these cases, the product being sold is legal, and it works. And in each of these cases, we don�t think the manufacturer should be held responsible for damage that comes from using a safe product as advertised. But some activists think gun manufacturers and retailers should be held to a different standard.
FL: Florida Senate should debate open carry law
In a world of uncertainty, the Second Amendment to the Constitution is undeniably clear: The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
Today, Florida is one of only five states infringing on the rights of citizens to �openly carry� handguns. That�s right. Open carry is legal in various forms in 45 other states. Florida joins California, New York, Illinois and (oddly) South Carolina as the only states to totally prohibit open carry. Thirty states do not require a license, while 15 do.
QUOTES TO REMEMBER
The writings of scholars who have written on the subject are virtually united on the point that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms, not simply the state national guards. � PROFESSOR GLENN HARLAN REYNOLDS

Port of Frederikshavn wins business award
It was a humble and happy Mikkel Seedorff Sørensen who, as CEO of the Port of Frederikshavn, received Frederikshavn trade council's Growth and Willingness Business Award 2018 in front of 230 guests in the Music House together with Chairman of the Board Bo Uggerhøj.
"We feel so proud and humble to receive the award due to the fact that it is ta business award. We are grateful for the recognition" says Mikkel Seedorff Sørensen.
"During these last few years, the Port of Frederikshavn has built its own business meanwhile acting as a growth engine for many other companies in the city that have had an ambitious expansion. Companies located at the port have been taking in more orders, companies have established themselves at the port, and new ones are on the way. While these things has been going on, the port broke records with a profit of 21.1 million Danish kroner in 2017", were amongst the things said as the award was given-
Back in fall, the Port of Frederikshavn finished the first stage of a port expansion that entails 600 meters of quay, 11 meters water depht and 330.000 square feet of backland area, which is almost entirely rented out already. The port therefore decided to begin a second port expansion that is expected to be finished in the third quarter of 2019.
The Entrepreneur of the Year Award went to 23 year old Lars Sørensen from Skagen who back in January 2017 bought his own vessel S440 Sofie Lykke, which he uses primarily to fish for Norway lobster and cod.

No Good Deed was a unique and entertaining book! I liked how the author took a typical retelling plot and added her own twists to make this a refreshing story. I think fans of Robin Hood and of time travel will get a kick out of this book.
This retelling of Robin Hood had a time travel aspect that was both interesting and addictive. I loved the idea of having the main character travel back to the time of Robin Hood. The time travel aspect was a twist that made this retelling really stand out! There wasn't much explanation on how the time travel worked, but that actually didn't bother me! It was fun just to sit back and enjoy the ride. I would have liked a little more world building, but with this being a stand-alone novel, I understood that there wasn't a TON of time to go into intense world building.
Another unique thing I liked about this retelling was the main character, Ellie, was aware of the retelling. It was really fun to see Ellie realize she was becoming Robin and how she handled that. If this book stayed true to the fable of Robin Hood, I cannot say, but I thought it was entertaining! There were times when this book felt a bit slow, but I thought it was pretty well paced as a whole.
Ellie was a great main character for this story. I thought she was smart, strong, resourceful, and funny. She was a woman who didn't let people push her around. I loved that she stood up for herself and proved that she was just as strong and valuable as any man! #FemalePower. I also really liked the group of side characters and the bonds Ellie formed with them. They all had hilarious banter and got involved in fun shenanigans that kept me entertained. Some of the decisions characters made annoyed me, but I liked them anyway.
Overall, this was a fun and enjoyable novel. I look forward to reading more books by this author!


It's the story of a self-centered man-child, a demagogue in control of the world as we know it. The action begins in a time of great imbalance in the western world. The French have raised an army to refute the English King John's claim to the throne, and the Pope has sent a representative to stir up some lucrative conflict. John's supporters grow anxious about his ability to lead, and all his enemies have to do is wait for his next mistake. John seems to live in his own reality; the fate of the modern world depends on his words and actions, but the most worrying thing of all is how little he seems to care.
The Life and Death of King John is one of Shakespeare's lesser-known plays, but in a modern context feels shockingly familiar. While parallels can certainly be drawn from the play to the White House, the creative team has made it a goal to avoid satire or judgement, in favor of finding their characters' honesty and reminding us that even our enemies are human beings. In addition to the production, a pop-up gallery on opening night will feature original work from local artists, commenting on themes of the play as well as artistic identity in 2017 America.
Certainly we find ourselves in an ugly point of history, but if Shakespeare has anything to say about ugliness, it's that it will, eventually, pass.
All donations are greatly appreciated for late night performance on July 12th!

Q: How do I define multiple responder flows, each in a different CorDapp? In Corda, I want to create several different versions of a responder flow, each to be used by a different node.
To do so, I understand that I need to define each responder flow in a separate CorDapp. However, they also all need to depend on the initiating flow class via the InitiatedBy annotation.
How can I structure the CorDapps containing the different implementations of the responder flow so that they all depend on this common initiating flow, without including all the responder flows in the same CorDapp where I defined the initiating flow?

A: You need to define the CorDapp containing the initiating flow first, then set this CorDapp as a dependency for each CorDapp containing a responder flow. See https://docs.corda.net/cordapp-build-systems.html#dependencies-on-other-cordapps for details.
For example, suppose CorDapp 1 defines the following initiating flow:
@InitiatingFlow
@StartableByRPC
class Initiator : FlowLogic<Unit>() {
    ...
}

Then you have CorDapp 2A which defines the following responder flow:
@InitiatedBy(Initiator::class)
@StartableByRPC
class ResponderA : FlowLogic<Unit>() {
    ...
}

And CorDapp 2B which defines the following responder flow:
@InitiatedBy(Initiator::class)
@StartableByRPC
class ResponderB : FlowLogic<Unit>() {
    ...
}

CorDapp 2A and CorDapp 2B would then need a dependency in their build.gradle files making these CorDapps depend on CorDapp 1, where the initiating flow is defined.

A: Well, the question comes that,

Why owner of CorDapp1 shares their business Flow logic
  to other?  What if the business wants to keep flow implementation codebase private to them?

I think the following would be the project structure and implementation:
Ex. I have three parties PartyA, PartyB, PartyC and each has their own version of  CorDapp's.

*

*cordapp-contract-states  - this CorDapp contains shared contract, states, and abstract initiating flows will be used by counter-parties to implement their responder flow logic. This CorDapp shared with all required counterparties.
@InitiatingFlow
abstract class CreateTradeBaseFlow : FlowLogic {
}

*cordapp-partyA - this CorDapp contains FlowLogic implementation for create trade.

@StartableByRPC
class CreateTradeFlow : CreateTradeBaseFlow {
   //Actual implementation of initiator flow goes here...
}

*cordapp-partyB - this CorDapp contain responder flow for CreateTradeFlow and other business specific flowlogic implementation.
@InitiatedBy(CreateTradeBaseFlow::class)
class ResponderPartyB(private val otherSideSession: FlowSession) : FlowLogic<SignedTransaction>() {
    //implementation of responder flow goes here...
}

*cordapp-partyC - this CorDapp contain responder flow for CreateTradeFlow and other business specific flowlogic implementation.
@InitiatedBy(CreateTradeBaseFlow::class)
class ResponderPartyC(private val otherSideSession: FlowSession) : FlowLogic<SignedTransaction>() {
    //implementation of responder flow goes here...
}
What's your thought?

Opposition leader and head of the Anti-Corruption Foundation Alexei Navalny has struck at Russia's elite once again, this time naming and shaming the alleged offspring of Vladimir Putin's spokesman.
In a blog post titled "A Brilliant Father's Golden Child," Navalny alleges that Nikolai Choles, the supposed son of Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov, is living well beyond his means.
Choles grew up in Britain before moving back to Russia around 2011, Navalny said, where he has enjoyed a luxurious lifestyle despite only holding down temporary employment between periods of joblessness.
According to Navalny's post, Choles was briefly employed by the state-funded RT news outlet and dabbled in several other projects.
But these spurts of employment could hardly fund the expensive cars and properties in his name, Navalny suggests, or the glamorous lifestyle — documented on social media — that routinely featured sailing yachts or private plane trips.
"This is just a nightmare," he was cited as saying. "How else could you consider this? It's horrible."
Navalny said it was "an example of how, in Russia, where 20 million people live beneath the poverty line and 70 percent can only dream of a salary of 45,000 rubles, it is possible to have a wonderful life. At the highest level. Without doing anything."
This is not the first time that Navalny has taken a stab at Peskov. In 2015, he claimed that Putin's long-time spokesman owns a 37-million-ruble watch that he could not possibly afford on his official state salary.
Soon after, he published what he said was evidence that Peskov had rented an extravagant yacht for 26 million rubles ($400,000) a week as part of his honeymoon.
Navalny is hoping to run for president next year, despite a criminal conviction that legally bars him from doing so. Peskov did not issue an immediate response to the opposition leader's report on Thursday.

Patterns of opioid utilization in pregnancy in a large cohort of commercial insurance beneficiaries in the United States
Anesthesiology. 2014 May;120(5):1216-24. doi: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000000172.

DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000000172
Background: There are few data regarding the utilization of opioids during pregnancy. The objective of this study was to define the prevalence and patterns of opioid use in a large cohort of pregnant women who were commercial insurance beneficiaries.
Methods: Data for the study were derived from a deidentified research database of women from across the United States who had both medical and prescription benefits. By using diagnostic codes, the authors defined a cohort of 534,500 women with completed pregnancies who were enrolled in a commercial insurance plan from 6 months before pregnancy through delivery.
Results: Overall, 76,742 women (14.4%) were dispensed an opioid at some point during pregnancy. There were 30,566 women (5.7%) dispensed an opioid during the first trimester, 30,434 women (5.7%) during the second trimester, and 34,906 women (6.5%) during the third trimester. Of these, 11,747 women (2.2%) were dispensed opioids three or more times during pregnancy. The most commonly dispensed opioids during pregnancy were hydrocodone (6.8%), codeine (6.1%), and oxycodone (2.0%). The prevalence of exposure at anytime during pregnancy decreased slightly during the study period from 14.9% for pregnancies that delivered in 2005 to 12.9% in 2011. The prevalence of exposure varied significantly by region and was lowest in the Northeast and highest in the South.
Conclusions: This study demonstrates that opioids are very common exposures during pregnancy. Given the small and inconsistent body of literature on their safety in pregnancy, these findings suggest a need for research in this area.

It's been such great feeling to be doing couple sessions again. There's really nothing quite like being in the presence of and capturing two people in love. It's a celebration of life! I strive to make my couple sessions as relaxed and natural as possible when you've got a third-wheel with a camera on what would otherwise be a perfectly romantic date! This way, I am rewarded with pure moments of joy, love and connection between two beautiful souls. And I am honoured to be the one to frame it for them to remember for years to come.

Born in 1971 in Nantou, Taiwan, Howard Chen graduated with a Bachelors in Arts from the National Institute of Arts, Taipei and got his master degree from Graduate Institute of Plastic Arts, Tainan National University of the Arts in 1998.
Chen's works have been displayed at exhibitions in USA, UK, Korea, Bangkok and Taipei recently. Chen also had solo exhibitions in 2001, 2002, 2006 and 2007 in Taiwan and has received several awards for his art.
For many years, Chen has used thumbtacks en masse as his chosen form of media, creating a varied perception of the work through displacement and the optics of the arrangement within the space. Chen saw the use of thumbtacks to be a highly personalized material for predestine. Chen uses a nail gun, which allows him to use up to hundreds of thousands of mosquito nails (headless metal pins) for each of his masterpieces. He shoots them one by one into white canvases stretched over wooden boards, creating reproductions of traditional Chinese ink paintings. Chen aims to create a poetic sea of tacks or a physical scene with lights and shadows behaving strangely. In form, using the construction of points, lines, and faces as the basis of the phenomenon, through optics and the sight of the viewer or position changing, the reading of the work can be completed. It expresses a minimalist aesthetic when viewed as an entity. However, each area viewed independently has the ability to convey a "complex visual texture".
The changes in brightness due to the light and shadow from arrangement of the tacks form a visually muscular structure, with strong highlights. The repetitive nature of the tacks and pins render a change in the qualitative nature of these intrinsically industrial objects, reducing their familiarity. Between the gaps and spaces, the viewer can appreciate and identify the warmth of non-mechanical labour in the creation of these masterpieces - the process is almost a homage to the great Chinese artists of the past and the discipline and meditation of the Buddhist monks, which all result in gratification through work.
Although Chen's images are formed through a subtraction-process, via the individual placement of nails, his work displays elements of both painting and sculpting. Thus, this results in a multiple viewing experience, capturing and replicating the traditional elements of Chinese painting documented in Kuo Hsui's theory of painting (Lin Quan Gao Zhi), or the three 'extensions' of a mountain.
Chen hasn't always worked with nails, however. He first started with another unusual medium, thumbtacks. For over a decade, he used them to make all kinds of installations and sculptures, from billboard-size mosaics on the sides of buildings, to creepy little dolls and even an 8m-by-4m installation on an art gallery floor, made from 340,000 thumbtacks all laid in the same direction so that they shimmered and waned as people walked by. He says it was fate that he changed from thumbtacks to mosquito nails in 1998, but admits he's been a lot more productive since he switched to using a nail gun instead of his bare hands.
The 39-year-old artist spends up to 10 hours a day in his Guandu art studio, shooting thousands of nails into the canvas. Since January 2010 he has gone through five million nails, changed 25 nail guns and broken two air compressors. Considering the fact that one of his most recent works - a reproduction of Travelers Among Mountains and Streams, originally painted by Fan Kuan in 1031 - is made up of roughly 750,000 mosquito nails, it is no surprise his tools break down so often. He spent three and a half months working on this piece, trying to pierce the nails deeper into the canvas and hoping to highlight the contrast with the white background.

Things will remain much the same round here and you'll still find a merry mix of home and crafting so do please pop in and see us if you're passing.
It's one of those days when I start with good intentions and end up doing not very much at all. This morning I spent a little time knitting. I'm working on a family of little rascals (see below) the pattern for which will eventually find it's way into my Etsy shop. Hopefully in time for Christmas!
As the sun popped out from behind the clouds I couldn't resist visiting my strawberry plants which I'm pleased to say are all doing well. I usually have them in the veg patch but this year they're in pots beside the garden room door which will enable me to pop outside and pick a few whatever the weather.
The tomato plants are looking healthy also but have only just started flowering, so I'll have to wait a while for the juicy fruits to appear.
Unlike me, hubby has found a real job and is clearing masses of vegetation from an area of rock adjoining the lawn. This has always been a problem spot and so we've never done much with it, but I have plans!! Well before the patch is cleared I'm thinking about the plants I'd like to see there. Sensibly hubby has said we must use what we've got and not acquire more. In other words, we move plants from elsewhere in the garden that are in the wrong position or have been crowded out by their neighbours.
The first candidate will be this delicate little rose with gorgeous red stems and pinkish grey leaves. I planted it a couple of years ago in front of the dining room window not realising how tall and bushy it would become.
These purple iris are another possibility. We can't grow the big blousy irises here unfortunately (too wet and not enough sun) but these are iris Sibirica and they thrive and multiply with ease so they are definitely on the 'to move' list.
These pretty little violas won't be moving to the new patch. I bought them at our local garden centre a couple of days ago and they are destined for one of my patio pots.
Why do some gardens look lovely when little plants pop up between the paving on the patio and others look a neglected mess. Sadly ours falls into the neglected mess category.
I think I'd better do something really useful and remove a few of those weeds.....But first.......Who fancies a nice cup of tea?
If you'd been at Flutterby Patch on Wednesday morning you would have found me moaning yet again about a pipe on our central heating boiler that drips and makes puddles on the nice clean floor. We've had several visits from plumbers but it seems no one can fix the dreaded drips. And so I mopped up the water, did a few chores and then mopped and moaned some more.
Still thinking about the dripping pipe and how it could be cured, I sat down with my lunch to watch the TV news. Nothing could have prepared me for the horrific scenes being shown. That morning, a 52 year old man in our county had shot his twin brother, then his lawyer and then his friend. We were told he was now working his way across the area shooting to kill anyone he saw. He was travelling in our direction and advice was to stay inside and lock all doors and windows. It was a warm sunny day and I'd planned to spend the afternoon in the garden but not any more. I spent the afternoon glued to the TV and watched the tragedy unfold as body after body was discovered. In total, the man killed 12 people, badly injured 12 more and then turned the gun on himself.
British laws on gun ownership are extremely strict but on Wednesday morning in our sparsely populated county, where few crimes are committed, a local man cut short the lives of 12 innocent people.
Today is Friday. The sun is shining and so I spent the afternoon with my family at our local garden festival and a jolly good time was had by all..... And the dripping pipe?...... Yes, it's still dripping, but who cares!
This horrific story has been beamed around the world and several of my blogging pals who saw the pictures recognised Cumbria as the place where I live. I should like to thank you all for your messages of concern. Thankfully the people in our town were not harmed, but of course many of them have friends and relatives in the places where people lost their lives. I can't begin to imagine how those affected must be feeling but my thoughts are constantly with them.

Baby Aidan made his appearance into the world on January 18th, two weeks late. He just wanted everyone to know that he was the one calling the shots now.
Aidan was a rock star during his session, including nailing daddy a few times when the diaper was off…but I think it was worth it – don't you?
Lots more on this darling soon.

Q: Java - How to decide the class hierarchies? I'm recently studying the hierarchy design of how the Java inheritance works. But I'm not sure in which point I should start.
Given an example of calculating a binary expression, it has to use two classes Literal and Binary. But it suggests to give out the following sample outputs:
Literal a = new Literal(6);
Literal b = new Literal(12);

System.out.println(b);             //Prints out: 12.0
System.out.println(b.evaluate());  //Prints out: 12.0

Binary e = new Binary(b, a, Operation.DIVIDE);
System.out.println(e);             //Prints out: 12.0 / 6.0

Binary f = new Binary(e, a, Operation.PLUS);
System.out.println(f);             //Prints out: (12.0 / 6.0) + 6.0
System.out.println(f.evaluate());  //Prints out: 8.0

Binary g = new Binary(e, f, Operation.TIMES);
System.out.println(g.evaluate());  //Prints out: 16.0

*Operation is an enum defines four operations PLUS, MINUS, TIMES and DIVIDE
I have tried to design a class of Literal and another class Binary which extends from the class Literal... But I found that it might have something wrong for the following follow-up requirements of the outputs...:
Variable v = new Variable("a");
Expression n = new Binary(f, v, Operation.DIVIDE);
System.out.println(n);               //Prints out: ((12.0 / 6.0) + 6.0) / a

Environment x = new Environment();
x.addVariable("a", 4.0);             //Variable "a" has a value 4.0 in x
System.out.println(n.evaluate());    //RuntimeException
System.out.println(n.evaluate(x));   //Prints out: 2.0 (8.0 / 4.0 = 2.0)

I found that the class Binary has to extends from Expression in order to meets the requirements... Actually am I wrong at the beginning for my design?

A: You should consider inheritance if you can describe objects of class B as "is a" of class A. Then class B should extend class B.
On the other hand direct inheritance between classes can cause some nasty problems so it is better to express the "is a" relationship via interfaces and have class BImpl a propery of class A where it delegates the inherited calls to:
interface A{
  void someMethod();
}
interface B extends A{
  void someOtherMethod();
}

class C implements A {
  void someMethod(){}
}

class D implements B {
  private A a;
  D(A a){
    this.a=a;
  }

  void someMethod(){
    a.someMethod()
  }

  void someOtherMethod(){}
}

A: From your last comment the problem became clear:

But The variable f defined as Binary, and inside the constructor it may have the type Literal or Binary

If both Literal and Binary extend Expression, then the constructor can take 2 Expression parameters, which means both Literal and Binary are acceptable:
interface Expression {...}
class Literal implements Expression {...}

class Binary implements Expression {

    ...
    public Binary(Expression lhs, Expression rhs, Operation op) {
        ...
    }
    ...
}

A question I often get is, 'how did you build an education company?' Well, I took some time to address this question during a recent presentation in Sydney, Australia. During the presentation, I talk about the beginnings of DSI and how Horizon Schools of Dental Assisting has helped me acquire clients along the way. Then, I reflect on Jocko Willink's story of a blue on blue in Ramadi, Iraq to illustrate the power of instilling Extreme Ownership in your culture.


When do I get my free Sony welcome back games then?
The PSN Store is now back up and running along with the PSN so the question that is being asked by everyone at the moment is when are we getting our free welcome back games as promised by Sony.
Now before you get overly excited remember that these games are only for subscribers who had a valid account before the date of the first attacks.
Well according to a tweet from Sony you can expect to start downloading your free games in the next couple of days.
So that sounds easy enough and hopefully it will happen over the weekend.

Crispin Finn is the pseudonym for duo Anna Fidalgo and Roger Kelly. Based in London and Margate, they create illustration, design, screen prints, stationery, ephemera and assorted wares. They are undoubtedly passionate about red, white and blue. Their signature tricolor formula originally evolved from wanting to simplify a screen-printing process so as to reduce the cost of buying high-quality, super-concentrated ink. The impressive portfolio reflects their mutual desire to create work that has integrity and, despite a nostalgic vibe, feels contemporary and fresh.


I had a fabulous weekend away mid-March in Oxfordshire at the Sewcial Retreat organised by Purple Stitches. This wasn't my first time, I taught there last year - you can read about that experience here - and was very fortunate to be asked back to teach another class this year. I was thrilled because I know how good it is!
Same as last time I decided not to take my sewing machine and just concentrate on hand sewing projects. I took some epp and cross stitch to do, nice slow sewing! I taught a curved epp class and will post more about that at another date because I do have a new pattern in the works.
The number one priority was something a bit different for me, visible mending. My eldest daughter found there was somehow a rip in a new pair of jogging bottoms, she hadn't even worn them once!! She was upset because she really liked them but I told her it could be fixed. It was a strange shaped rip, though nothing really that unusual in our chaotic house - clothes get put in piles and moved around so it could have been anything that caused it.
Rather than cover the rip with applique I decided to go with the current trend of visible mending. Thankfully the solution was obvious because the jogging bottoms are covered in rainbows, in different sizes and directions. I dove into my bag of thread and picked out #8 weight perle thread to match the rainbows, fortunately I had the colours needed. I attached some light woven fusible interfacing to the back, larger than the rip itself because I needed to stabilise the jersey fabric before stitching. Then I used my water soluble pen to sketch the top and bottom curves of the rainbow, making sure to extend past the rip itself, to give me a guide for sewing.
I wasn't complete adverse to machine sewing during the retreat and I was happy that I got to hop on Trudi's very fast Juki to whip up these simple jelly roll Stacked Coin blocks. Purple Stitches and Trudi Wood are collecting blocks to make quilts for the charity Siblings Together. The block drive continues to run through April so if you are able to make some blocks please do! You'll find all the info HERE.
Then it was back to stitching my rainbow for most of the first day, along with the all important socialising, cups of coffee and peering at what everyone else was making (hello adding to the 'to sew' list!). On the first evening we were treated to a Trunk show by Nicholas Ball.
It was really cool hearing about Nicholas' process, the way he interprets his inspirations and how he goes about tackling challenges. I really like his vegetable series, see the cabbage quilt above, and he puts a lot of thought into every aspect of his quilts despite the piecing process being fairly liberated.
I could not get over the incredible quilting done by Trudi on this quilt he made, the texture is WOW and it's so perfect for the leaves. To me Nicholas seemed to like pushing the boundaries a bit, enjoying seeing how far he can stretch his skills and ideas. I really admire that and his wonder is infectious. His style is adventurous but very well planned and executed. While it's always fun to look at peoples quilts, there is so much more to be said and it's fascinating for me to talk to people and listen to their approaches. Turns out Nicholas and I have very similar jobs, well practically the same role for different companies. It was a pleasure chatting with him and I do hope to get to meet him again because he's a good 'un.
Excitingly Nicholas has a new book coming out called Inspiring Improv: Explore Creative Piecing with Curves, Strips, Slabs and More, so you can discover and play with the techniques he uses!
There was lots of amazing work being done over the weekend, I didn't get many pictures of that because it's slightly obnoxious to interfere and also I was busy sewing too! I had to stop and snap this block by talented Joanne though because it is perfection in my eyes. I really enjoy fussy cutting but I don't like it when it's overdone and she has very cleverly focused on one fussy cut piece. In this particularly block it is the gorgeous Tula shell and the way she's used fabric with hints of pink on the blues is beautiful. Slightly unflattering photo on the brown carpet but it's still brilliant.
The weather was fairly changeable, though we did have some lovely sunshine moments. This is the courtyard in the centre of the hotel, very pretty.
And everyone hard at work inside!
Obviously I partook in a little retail therapy. These fabrics, which I hadn't seen before and thought would be useful, and a small bottle of flatter. I already have some in the Yuzu scent but I hadn't smelt Lacey, as soon as I did I had to get some. It smells like original Fairy liquid to me and I love it, turns out it's actually spring blossoms and bergamot (maybe that's what Fairy is?!).
I have credited makers where I can and if you follow the links you can see more of their work and maybe more progress on some of these beauties!
These two beautiful quilts were quilted by Trudi and are being donated to Siblings Together, the second one is made up of the stacked coins blocks they are currently collecting.
This precious garnet block, made by Viv is one of the blocks from Purple Stitches upcoming block of the month - I completely forget details so please contact Purple Stitches to register your interest!
I tried to capture as many photos as I could, if you'd like a little bit more you can get a good sense of the atmosphere at the retreat by watching the IGTV video I posted on my instagram.
I didn't manage to whip up a quilt top like many of the other retreat goers did. I have to admit my main goal, beyond teaching curved epp (and hopefully encouraging people to give it a go!), was just to enjoy socialising and the process of stitching my hand sewing projects. I did make a little progress on my cross stitch and finished two more of the smaller motifs.
It's a reasonable simple (though all that binding must take a long time) and very clever design and super useful with all those pockets! My favourite colours too. It's currently got epp pieces in it, good way of storing basted pieces ready to make into blocks. Jill also suggested I could use it to keep jewellery in, which I think is a great idea and I might actually use it for that instead because it would look pretty on my dresser too.
To see the Lola pouch I made for my swap partner click here!
Remember the visible mending I mentioned (way back at the beginning of this post)? Well here's how it turned out. I'm happy to report that my daughter ADORES it and I actually think she likes the joggers even more now.
Can you spot it? It blends in pretty well! All that stitching does feel lovely and it's a happy way to mend a tear.
Thank you for reading! And thank you Purple Stitches for such a fabulous retreat! If you can please do help with the Sibling Together Quilt Block Drive, the stacked coins blocks are so quick to make.
I hope you all get some sewing time this week. I'm itching to start something new and definitely need to tidy up around my sewing desk as it is a disaster right now. Using up my stash as a way of clearing up makes sense right?!
Clever idea to mend the rainbow leggings with a hand stitched rainbow. Quilting retreats are the best!
Lucy, love the rainbow visible mending - could you tell me the stitch(es) used please?
Love your visible mending, and your threads matched perfectly!!
Hello Jan! I usually just use what I have, either a big enough piece of fabric or I piece together fabrics to make it! Often times I use leftover fabrics that I used in the front of the quilt but I tend to focus more on what I have rather than what will work! I hope that helps!

Kent Cycle Racing League (SERRL)

Where it all started...
We have researched the origin of the league's somewhat patchy history. To the best of our knowledge it appears it was originally the idea of Bill Best of the Sydenham Wheelers, founded either in the late 60's or early 70's, named the South London Road Race League. As clubs all over the division stopped promoting races it was obvious that another route to provide competition was urgently needed. In the mid 70's Colin Coe aided by Dave Creasy and Pete Harris remodelled the league to make it easier to run. The name was then changed to Kent Cycle Road Race League.
The league flourished, promoting 2 races at each circuit with higher category races in the morning and lower categories in the afternoon. Many Kent and South East London division clubs attended and enjoyed the racing that was provided. Such was the success of the Kent League, Keith Butler, one of Britain's former pro riders established a similar league in Surrey. The Surrey League has grown into an extremely well attended league. During the 90's under the leadership of Bill Lewis and Vic Hopkin the league continued to provide most of the racing in the Kent area. The name of the league was changed to the South East Road Racing League, to reflect it's popularity. The league then ran one larger race per day as race helpers were thin on the ground. Both Bill and Vic decided to retire at the end of 2002 and so Paul Bridgeland stepped up to administer the league in 2003, assisted by Preston and Kim Anderson and Adrian Kingwell. The races continued to be well attended and a full calendar was run. The SERRL had a difficult start to 2004 as Paul Bridgeland could no longer devote enough time to the administration of the league. It was then that Kim Anderson offered to take on the responsibility of co-ordinating the league to prevent a massive shortage of racing in the area. The season provided much exciting competition across all categories. Moving on into 2005 the SERRL had a full programme of racing and dedicated support staff along with newly acquired league sponsors. It is with the help of these sponsors that the league could now run an informational website and offer both increased overall prizes and on the day race prizes. 2006 saw the introduction of a group of National Escort Motorcycle riders who the League recruited to assist in the safe passage of the races on the open road. The N.E.G. riders massively transformed the presence of the convoy on the road allowing all riders peace of mind even on busy or technical circuits. The membership of affiliated riders and clubs in the league was still quite low; however, the field sizes grew substantially with the ever-increasing professionalism of the race organisation. 2008 saw several major changes to the league. Firstly, for the first time Points no longer meant prizes. As affiliations had been in decline for some while not many riders were benefiting for pay-outs at the end of the year. It was decided that we would continue offering the on the day cash prizes and winners medal and offer the overall top 3 riders a Medal / Trophy. Secondly came the introduction of online entry via RiderHQ.com courtesy of Nat Spurling. RiderHQ has helped transform the administrative side of the league for riders and staff. This has also helped increase numbers as entry is so much easier and faster for all concerned. And finally, the league got a Grant for timing Transponders after 3 years of trying. The equipment cost a little over £12000, including a laptop & Honda Generator to power the system. 2008 /09 was the inaugural year for a winter series based at the Fowlmead circuit nr Betteshanger. While numbers have been low the racing has been good, seeing some newcomers into cycling gaining their first wins. These riders went on to race in the summer series and benefited from their early season racing. In 2009 the league decided to make Affiliation to the league compulsory for all riders. The cost was £10 for the year, and the cost was to maintain the leagues' ability to run safe races for all. With this new amendment it was possible to track how many riders used the league and we were proud to realise that by the end of the season over 400 riders would ride our races on at least one occasion, usually more. In 2009 /10 numbers had been much higher for the winter series, running fewer events has been the key in driving up the desire to race. Running the league is an almost full-time job in itself. The whole Anderson family were involved with Kate following the race convoy to provide first aid and a spare wheel to get riders back on after a puncture. Luke was hands-on from the start of the family "takeover" in 2004, firstly creating the website and running the points spreadsheet, and also in helping provide assistant commassaire time for some races.
Unfortunately, since 2010 the league has seen a steady decline in affiliation from both individual riders and more importantly clubs.
At the end of 2016 the Anderson family decided to hand over the batten to someone new. A new organising committee of Alan Denman, Adam Cotterell and Crinnan Gould got voted in at the AGM and hit the ground running with the Cyclopark winter series. Now in their 5th season, the team have steered the league through some tough times that has seen many changes, particularly with the traditional club structure changing vastly. But rest assured, the league will always find a way of running and continue to provide grass roots racing.

You've moved into a new house and can't wait to make it your own. But how do you plan for all the exterior home updates you're envisioning? When is the best time of year, how long will your projects take, and how much will each project cost?
We talked to exterior experts and gathered their recommendations on how to plan ahead for checking multiple projects off your list.
To get started, focus on easy landscaping projects that you can tackle on the weekend. Rhianna Miller, a trend forecaster and the in-house home/garden design expert at Rubber Mulch recommends planting a low-maintenance lavender hedge, which makes a beautiful and aromatic addition along a path or beside your home.
Time Commitment: One to two hours to complete, depending on the condition of the ground at the start of this project.
Approximate Cost: A person should expect to spend $100 to $150 on this project, including the cost for mulch and the plants.
Expert Tip: Use stakes and yarn to create a straight and even row. Then, plant lavender with 12" to 15" of space between each plant. The lavender will take about a year to fully grow, and you will need to start pruning it once a year after it has been in the ground for two years.
When you know where the sun hits your yard and have a good idea of your outdoor entertaining needs, it's a great time to re-evaluate your deck. James Moylan, president and founder of Design Builders recommends that you start by researching a designer whose ideas you like.
Time Commitment: The design and permit process can take 4-8 weeks depending on the complexity of the project.
Approximate Cost: A non-covered deck should cost $65-$75 per square foot, depending on the product. For a covered deck or screened-in enclosure, the budget will be at least $125 per square foot.
Expert Tip: Take your time. Do your research. Look at multiple projects. Create a master plan.
Homeowners who want to replace their siding are generally looking for the same thing—beautiful looks with low maintenance benefits. Steve Booz, VP, New Product Development & Product Management at Royal Building Products recommends that homeowners consider shake and shingle, insulated siding or the uniquely seamless aesthetics and durability of Celect® Cellular Composite Siding by Royal®.
Time Commitment: One to two weeks depending on the size of the crew you hire.
Approximate Cost: Traditional siding replacements costs $3-$5 per square foot. For insulated and cellular PVC siding, expect to pay an additional $2-$3 per square foot.
Expert Tip: Great looks can be achieved through the use of color, texture and profile size. Low maintenance is virtually guaranteed whether you choose vinyl siding or a more premium product, like Celect.
A typical asphalt shingle can last between 12-20 years. Kirk Graven, Marketing Director at Able Roofing, recommends having a trained professional inspect your roof to determine the best time to replace it.
Approximate Cost: The average cost for a square of roofing is $650-$750.
Expert Tip: There are more options for roofs available today which perform better over time — for example a metal roof can last 50 years or more. Talking to a roofing professional can help you avoid unnecessary damage from leaks and save you thousands of dollars in the future.

FROM Santa Fe: Keshi, The Zuni Connection.
No, not that kind of "fetish." In the Zuni Native American culture, this means a found rock or pebble that resembles an animal, carved to enhance the image and imbued with a spiritual power or "medicine." These talismans have been a part of Pueblo culture for more than a thousand years and serve as empowering reminders of the human connection to nature and to the qualities the animal reflects, such as agility, perseverance, independence and survival. For instance, mountain lion medicine reminds us to establish healthy boundaries and to be a good example to others. A bear – a sacred fetish for the Zuni tribe – represents healing, protection, strength and mothering.
Keshi (pronounced kay-SHE) is the traditional greeting of the Zuni. Keshi, The Zuni Connection hosts the largest selection of authentic Zuni fetishes in the world, as well as a stunning inventory of a variety of art, pottery and jewelry. This fair trade outlet, originally established as a co-op in 1981, proudly represents the work of more than 1000 Native American artists, 95 percent of whom are Zuni.
The Zuni Tribe is distinct in many ways. The Zuni Pueblo is the largest in New Mexico, yet its people's native tongue is unique among the languages of the world. Despite the challenges of wars, invasions and outside religious influences, the Zuni have remained undaunted in their devotion to their cultural and religious traditions. Of all the Native American tribes, the Zuni are the most widely known for their outstanding quality and craftsmanship of fetish art. Though some fetishes may be as small as a dime, they are beautifully crafted from rocks and gems, many intricately inlaid with delicate designs. Whether large or small, each carries with it a special meaning, which makes them a genuine artifact of your New Mexico journey and an ideal gift. "Petit point" jewelry is another renowned Zuni art and Keshi offers an exquisite assortment for collectors.
For fans of famed comedian and comic strip artist Ricardo Lee Cate of the Kewa tribe who is well known for his cartoon comic strip in the Santa Fe New Mexican, "Without Reservations," Keshi showcases an assortment of original paintings. Cate's humor is slightly twisted yet thought-provoking, always g-rated and always makes you laugh out loud with his reflections of Indian life in the modern world.
Keshi originated in 1981 with the collaboration of Robin Dunlap, then a school teacher on the Zuni Pueblo, and a small group of Zuni artists and other teachers to showcase outside the reservation the esteemed work of Zuni artists. Robin's daughter, Bronwyn Fox-Bern, maintaining the bridge between the Zuni Tribe and the rest of the world. She attended the Zuni school where her mother taught, later completed her degree in American Cultural Studies and is now managing director at Keshi. The 800-square-foot store stands on Don Gaspar Street, in the heart of historic Santa Fe, just two blocks from the plaza. The extensive displays, coupled with the knowledgeable, friendly staff, make Keshi a place that offers you a sense of authentic connection and closeness to a deeply rooted spiritual culture and artistic heritage. Keshi, the Zuni Connection, is a must for those hoping to take home a piece of the true soul of the Southwest.
Keshi, The Zuni Connection, is open 7 days a week, Monday to Saturday 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. and Sunday 11a.m. – 5p.m. at 227 Don Gaspar. For more information and on-line shopping, visit their website. Call Keshi at (505) 989 8728. Elah-kwa (thank you).
