Saint Colmanell's Church of Ireland Ahoghill Gravestones
Written by Trudger in Churches
Ahoghill is about five miles from Portglenone and, in the other direction, is some four miles from Ballymena.
Saint Colmanell's Church of Ireland is located on Church Street in Ahoghill. Despite travelling through the village many thousands of times, for study, work and leisure, this remarkably was my first ever time on Church Street.
There are two additional church premises to see on the street. As you walk up the street, you will initially encounter what is known locally as the Old Church Yard (on your left), then some yards later Trinity Church (again on the left side of the street) and ultimately Saint Colmanell's church (again on the left, at the top of the hill and around a corner). The church is grouped with Portglenone Church of Ireland, and they share a rector.
The church setting is beautiful. The church, with it's wonderful spire, is set in a delightfully serene landscape. I initially took photographs at the back of the church, where the graveyard is located. Subsequently I got some decent photos of the front of the church – getting the view below, by crouching low at the church entrance (trying to get a view between the trees that line both sides of the driveway).
Saint Colmanell's Church of Ireland, Ahoghill
Construction of the Church in 1863
The foundation stone for the church was laid by Mr's O'Neill of Shanes Castle (wife of the Reverend William O'Neill) on an apparently delightful sunny Tuesday 4th August 1863.
The Ballymena Observer at the time noted that: "For a long time past, there has been a pressing necessity for a greater amount of church accommodation in that parish. The funds for the new erection were raised chiefly by voluntary subscriptions, collected by the unwearied diligence of the Reverend Alfred Lee, the Parochial incumbent, and the site was kindly granted by the Reverend Robert Rowan of Mount Davys."
On the day that the foundation stone was laid, 4th August 1863, a morning service was held at the old church – with a reading by the previously mentioned Reverend William O'Neill of Shane's Castle. He was helped by the Dean of Connor, and the Reverend Lee. The sermon was subsequently delivered by the Dean of Down, from the text of Ist Samuel vii. verse 12: "Hitherto hath the Lord helped us."
At the end of the service, a collection was taken, and the monies received were submitted to the new church construction fund.
The reverends and their congregation, subsequently proceeded the short distance to the location of the new church, where, according to the Ballymena Observer: "a silver trowel, bearing a suitable inscription, was presented to Mrs O'Neill, who gracefully proceeded to adjust the foundation stone, after which she struck it three times, and said, "To the Glory of God, and in the name of the ever blessed Trinity, I lay this stone." The dedication was read by Mr. William Millar, senior churchwarden; the ceremonies were followed by a hymn, sung by the assembled multitude, and the final benediction was then pronounced.
A complimentary address from the parishioners — beautifully grossed on vellum, illuminated, and magnificently bound in book form — was subsequently read and presented to the respected Rector of the parish, the Reverend Alfred T. Lee, who was also presented with an affectionate address by a deputation on behalf of the male and female Sunday schools…..on the conclusion of the proceedings, a large number of the aristocracy and gentry (some 80 in number) adjourned to the Rectory, where, a handsome marquee which had been erected on the lawn, they partook of sumptuous repast, comprising every delicacy of the season."

Thames Valley Harriers (TVH) is an athletics club founded in 1887. It is based at the Linford Christie Stadium, in West London, England, which is named after member and Olympic 100 metres gold medallist Linford Christie.

In track and field, TVH competes in the Premiership Division of the National Athletics League (NAL) as well as the Division 1 of the Southern Athletics League. The club has won all of its matches in the NAL since its inception in 2021 and is the sole winner of the Premiership trophy.

The club also competes in road running and cross country at national, regional and county level. In recognition of the club's recent success - and TVH's record of strong contribution to its local community - England Athletics voted Thames Valley Harriers the top London Club for 2015.

History
Thames Valley Harriers is one of the UK's longest-established and most successful athletics clubs. It was founded in 1887
by seven aspiring cross-country runners who used the 'Peels' coffee house in Richmond Road, West London as a base for their training runs. Christened the East Twickenham Harriers, the club flourished and to reflect its widening horizons took the name Thames Valley Harriers on 14 November 1890.

TVH became a force both on the track and in endurance races. The 1908 Olympics at nearby White City Stadium increased the club's profile and a first Olympian was secured in 1936 when George Traynor competed in the long jump alongside Jesse Owens.

Other standout performers included Ken Norris who finished second in the 1954 world cross country championships and Ron Hopcroft who set world records for both the 50 and 100 miles. TVH was also the club where middle-distance coach Frank Horwill first developed his methods, including the creation of the British Milers Club in 1963.

TVH was a founding member of the British Athletics League in 1969 and enjoyed great success over the next two decades, winning the title three times and finishing in the top three on a total of 14 occasions, as well as achieving multiple wins in the Southern road relays and cross country championships.

This success provided the momentum for the club to build a new clubhouse at the West London Stadium by Wormwood Scrubs, which was completed in 1979. From this platform emerged TVH's greatest ever athlete – Linford Christie - who claimed a haul of international sprint medals including 1992 Olympic 100m gold in Barcelona. The West London Stadium was renamed the Linford Christie Stadium in his honour and he still serves as the Club President.

2021 saw the launch of a new National Athletics League, combining the former British Athletics League (BAL) for men and UK Women's Athletics League (UKWAL) into one competition. Thames Valley Harriers won all four of the club's matches to win the title.

PRESCOTT — Returning the Badgers after a year as an assistant coach for the women's basketball program at Embry-Riddle, Travis Stedman was officially named the next head boys' basketball coach for Prescott on Thursday morning.
Stedman replaces longtime head coach Adam Neely, who resigned two weeks ago to take a newly created administrative position within the Prescott Unified School District.
Prescott Athletic Director Missy Townsend made the announcement Thursday morning and issued a statement that said the Badgers are "excited" to have Stedman back in the fold.
"His experience at the high school and the collegiate level will be a great boon to the program and department," Townsend said.
The Sidney, Montana, native spent seven seasons as an assistant coach for the Badgers under Neely before leaving for Embry-Riddle in 2017 to work for than-head coach Becky Burke.
Burke stepped down at Embry-Riddle in April to take the head job at the University of Charleston in West Virginia.
Stedman and Burke teamed together and led the Eagles to a program-best 21-win season in 2017-18 and NAIA top 25 ranking. Embry-Riddle also qualified to participate in the Cal Pac Tournament last season for the first time in school history.
"Travis loves the game, and was a tireless worker," Burke said of her former assistant via text message Thursday afternoon. "There were times I would ask him a question about an opponent that was weeks away and he had already watched multiple games and studied them. That's the kind of coach he his.
The International Academy of Design and Technology graduate said he was "honored and humbled" to be the next head coach of the Badgers.
After the 2017-18 season finished with a 66-52 loss to Tempe in the 4A conference state play-in game back in February, eight seniors, including Kody Jones, Dillan Osborn, Braden Lopez, Dallin Jex and Cameron Parsons, had played their last game.
And since the Badgers have qualified for the state playoffs only three times (2001-02, 2012-13, 2015-16) in the last 17 seasons, Stedman's challenge will be to quickly find the right mix of talent and have early success, perhaps even steady success during this summer's schedule.
The good news for Stedman, a young core of juniors including Aaron Greene, Harris Temple and starter Korey Schwartz, will likely return in 2018-19.


I am a writer. That means I like to write and do it on a semi-regular basis. What I want is to be an author, which is where someone pays you to write.
I was reading an article which said that every writer deserved to be paid for their work. Semantics aside, to me, that is the key point which distinguishes between a good writer and a bad one. Not every writer deserves to be paid. The bad poetry and stilted stories out there have all been written by writers. Just not good ones.
If you love to write and want to share, then I encourage you to do so. Put it online, pass it around to family and friends, however you want to do it. That's the easy way.
If you want to be an author, then you have to do a lot more work. Not only do you have to write something other people want to read, but it has to be something other people are willing to pay to read. That means doing serious thinking about plot, structure and character. It means revising and revising again. And again. It means sending your brave little creation off to strangers who are going to rip it apart. And then you put it back together again, making it better. And then, you might be ready to send it to a publisher or agent.
It's not all tapping at the keyboard and having brilliant dialogue and characters dance at your fingertips. It's a lot of hard work. How much, I'm only just discovering.
But you know what? I'm really enjoying watching my story get better. It was good before but now it's getting polished and faceted. If I've done it right, it's going to sparkle and shine, drawing people into a world I created. Hopefully they'll have a good time and want to come back.
At the brunch, one of the writers talked about how no one can say no to you. If traditional publishing doesn't work, you can self-publish and still put your story out there. So, I suppose people can say no, they just can't stop you. But even with self-publishing, I think it's important to go through the steps of polishing the work.

Geriatric centres should be optimistic places appealing to live in or to visit. The idea is to create a characteristic atmosphere in a vital space where spare time prevails and where residents spend the last years or months of their lives.The first condition is to get a building of 6000 m2, plus 6000 m2 of gardens, with the same budget of that one of 3000 m2 required in the bases of the competition back in 2002.The fact is that it is possible to build a geriatric centre that does not look like a hospital, with neither corridors nor architectural barriers and on a single floor, in which all the rooms have direct access from (and towards) a garden that, as a sort of 'lobby', acts also as direct access towards (and from) the collective spaces.The aim is to ensure total accessibility, physical autonomy, psychical security and respect to individual privacy, facilitating access to visitors.Between the residential area and the polygonal perimeter emerges an open, interconnected, fluid, flat and unusual space that accommodates at once the different program and circulation uses. Going over the building means traversing a space with neither doors nor corridors, establishing paths that do not necessarily entail a single solution. It is a unique space, where it is possible going from A to B without following necessarily the same route. But, in addition, it is a 'polyatmospheric' circulation space: a series of events that can stimulate the senses and ease the disorientation and spatial tedium that one can 'experience' in a geriatric centre. The signage of the roof paintings and a colour code applied to programs and enclosures depending on their geographical orientation are the material supplies to this concept of "polyatmosphere".The synthetic enclosures are two-layer cellular polycarbonate. The interior skin of the flat outer enclosure is designed in accordance with its geographical orientation. The north facade strengthens the cold light through the use of blue and greenish plastics, whereas the south and west one favours warmer atmospheres using yellow plastics.The roof – a bare slab of reinforced concrete – displays orientation lines that are the projection of the topographical surface of the quarries upon which the foundations were laid. This allows defining three areas through the use of three ranges of colours that include the outer adapted restrooms, and that are also associated with the tones filtered by the polycarbonate surfaces.This palette of changing atmospheres, of different densities and intensities of light, allow the user to decide "which way to go" and "where to stay".But the most remarkable fact is that the atmosphere of the users gets improved from a centrifuge sense of architecture. That means an architecture where the user is an actor and not a mere spectator. An architecture generated from the interior avoiding intentionally its representation in the façades (that in this case are not more than mere enclosures), or in a supposedly more decent, trendy or conventional architectural finishings.

My favorite horror movies (available to stream right now)
Posted on October 1, 2018 by sarahhans
The Most Wonderful Time of Year–October–is upon us at last! I noticed my streaming services (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime) suddenly have a lot of new horror movies in October, so I thought I'd compile a list here of a few of my favorites for anyone looking for spooky viewing this month. Just so you know, I tend to enjoy a pretty wide-ranging selection horror movie subgenres, but I definitely prefer psychological horror over gore or torture porn. Also, these aren't really listed in any particular order. Let me know in the comments whether I missed any movies horror fans should definitely watch, okay? Let's get to the list!
Available on Netflix:
The protagonist in It Follows has sex with her boyfriend and ends up being pursued by a relentless monster that can look like anyone. It's a brilliant metaphor for sexually transmitted infections and also a fantastic example of how a horror movie doesn't need fancy special effects or a big monster reveal to be extremely effective. I have goosebumps right now just thinking about this movie, it's so creepy.
The Invitation is about a guy who goes to a dinner party hosted by his ex. Things get weird and then…well, I don't want to give away the big finale. This is another movie that doesn't need special effects, so a lot of people would probably classify it more as a thriller, but isn't the horror even scarier when it's propagated by human beings? Trust me, this one is worth watching all the way until the end.
With period costumes, period dialogue, a spooky witch choir providing the music, and a ton of wide shots that make you feel as lost in the woods as the characters, this drama set in colonial America is about a family exiled from the Commonwealth and determined to conquer the wilderness. But something living in the woods finds them instead. This movie is a slow burn and not for everyone, but I enjoy unraveling Judeo-Christian mythology, and I love a metaphor for Puritanical misogyny, so it really worked for me.
As Above, So Below
Speaking of unraveling Judeo-Christian mythology, you may want to read Dante's Inferno before you watch As Above, So Below. A woman obsessed with finding the legendary Philosopher's Stone in the catacombs beneath Paris finds herself–and the fools she convinced to descend into the darkness with her–facing all the horrors of Hell in this claustrophobic film. It's a found footage movie, but the shaky cam is generally used to pretty good effect.
While everyone was watching Netflix's movie based on Stephen King's Gerald's Game, hardly anyone seemed to notice the simultaneous release of 1922, a movie based on a Stephen King novella. I enjoyed Gerald's Game (the movie), but 1922 really blew me away. Thomas Jane's performance as Wilf, a man who not only murders his wife, but makes his 14-year-old son complicit in the crime, is phenomenally creepy. Because this is a Stephen King story, it's a lot of fun to watch Wilf get his supernatural just desserts, but it's really the ordinariness of Jane's portrayal of Wilf that gives me the heebies. Talk about the sociopath next door.
This zombie movie was a smash-hit in Korea and abroad for a very good reason. The heart of the story is a father who neglects his parental duties but finally has a chance to prove his love for his daughter when a zombie outbreak strikes Korea. The train is used very effectively to keep the tension high–the passengers can't get off, but the zombies keep breaking through car after car. If you like high-octane horror or you're tired of the same old zombies, this one's for you. I practically ripped the arms off my couch while watching it.
Another foreign film, this one from France, Raw is the story of a young, naive, vegan veterinary student who partakes in a hazing ritual in the early days of college that involves eating meat. She is suddenly struck with an insatiable craving for flesh–human flesh. This film is a great metaphor for the many awakenings that college can produce, and the discomfort–and revelations–that can result.
Teeth is a coming-of-age story for every woman who has been sexually assaulted. Do you know what vagina dentata are? You will after you watch this movie, and you'll probably shudder every time you hear the concept mentioned.
Honorable mentions on Netflix: The Babadook, The Conjuring, The Lodgers
Available on Hulu
If period horror is your jam like it is mine, The Others is a classic you must watch. It's Gothic and atmospheric and mysterious and wonderful. Nicole Kidman is her absolute brilliant best as a neurotic mother whose children are allergic to sunlight living in an old, spooky mansion in the countryside during World War I. Her paranoia is almost as tangible as the omnipresent fog that surrounds her home.
This Spanish found-footage movie about a camera crew trapped with the residents of a quarantined apartment building as they succumb to an unknown infection is terrifying. The American remake, Quarantine, isn't bad either, and it's interesting to watch both to note the thematic differences between the interpretations of the same concept by people from different cultures.
The Blair Witch Project: Book of Shadows
Look, I know what you're thinking, but hear me out. This was the first movie I can remember (from way back in 2000) to really explore the horror potential of video footage. What if the footage you recorded showed you doing something unspeakable, something you don't remember doing, something you'd never do…how do you prove your innocence when video doesn't lie? Just the concept gives me chills.
This is going to be another controversial choice, but several of the short films in this anthology movie are, in my opinion, fantastically creepy. Because they're so short, I can't say a lot about them without giving a lot away, but Amateur Night and The Sick Thing That Happened To Emily When She Was Younger were both especially delightful/terrifying for me.
If you like your horror with a dose of humor, this is a brilliant satire of the hillbilly horror genre from the perspective of the hillbillies. It's fairly gory but so over-the-top it's hard not to laugh at the gallons of blood spray. Perfect for fans of the Evil Dead franchise.
This beautiful film explores the idea of vampires from a unique–and feminist–perspective. Two women are vampires in a world where vampires are made in an unusual manner, and of course, only men are inducted into their exclusive society. Gemma Arterton and Saoirse Ronan are mysterious and lovely in a fresh take on an old premise you won't soon forget.
Speaking of fresh takes on vampires, this Swedish film is an exploration of what it means to be an outcast, whether a human child or a vampire. What's the price for protection, love, and friendship for a friendless, vulnerable boy perpetually bullied at school? There's an American version called Let Me In (available on Amazon Prime) that I think is equally good, but it's almost a shot-for-shot remake of this one.
Honorable mention on Hulu: Blair Witch, Insomnia, Hellraiser, The Fly, Carrie
Les Diabolique
This classic French film is worth watching with subtitles in black-and-white. Two women, the wife and mistress of a school headmaster, conspire to murder him. But then his corpse goes missing and strange things start occurring. Is the widow being haunted, or is she driven mad with guilt? The remake simply does not do the original justice, so watch this one.
Zombies are created by fungal spores in this unique take on the genre, and one little girl may be the key to saving the human race from extinction. Anchored by the talent of young Sennia Nanua, plus powerhouses Glenn Close and Gemma Arterton, this movie is one part action flick, one part zombie horror movie, and one part nuanced exploration of what it means to be human.
Ah, the movie that spawned a thousand sequels. Cheap to make, because it has few expensive special effects and a set no larger than a family home, Paranormal Activity is a great example of the found footage genre. The first in the franchise is genuinely scary, a homeowners are haunted by slamming doors, levitating blankets, and mysterious bruises.
Daniel Radcliffe made this film not long after the Harry Potter movies ended, and it's definitely a great palate-cleanser if you want to stop thinking of him as HP. The film is The Most Gothic, set in a gloomy mansion in the middle of a British marsh. Naturally, the house is haunted by the titular Woman in Black. If you like period dramas or haunted house movies, this is a great choice.
Amazon Prime Honorable Mentions: Flatliners (1990), Let Me In, Nosferatu (1922, Silent), The Blackcoat's Daughter, The Innkeepers, The Bride
So, dear reader, what movies did I miss? What do you recommend? Do you think one of my recommendations is crap? Comment and let me know!

He was returned on petition, voting with the Opposition on the civil list, the Hessians, and the army, but for the excise bill, and abstaining on the repeal of the Septennial Act. Defeated in 1734, he was returned at a by-election in 1736; did not vote on the Spanish convention 1739 or the place bill 1740, and figures in a ministerial list of absent opposition Members on 21 Nov. 1739. He stood down in 1741 in favour of his brother-in-law, Sir Francis Dashwood; and died on 7 Oct. 1743, so much in debt that his estates went into Chancery.

Bloody Scotland goes to India
Thriller writer Doug Johnstone and I are heading to the 4th Kolkata Literature Festival 2–4th February 2017 to promote Scottish Crime Writing, and in particular the annual Bloody Scotland International Crime Writing Festival which takes place this year in Stirling 9th-11th September 2017.
Kolkata Literature Festival is a relatively young literature festival that takes places within the folds of the International Kolkata Book Fair (world's largest book fair), to celebrate the written word, and the different facets of it – publishing, story telling, theatre, documentaries to name a few.
Doug and I will be accompanied by Jenny Brown, Chair of the Bloody Scotland committee, and the trip has been made possible by a partnership between the British Council and Creative Scotland.
Former Bloody Scotland Festival Manager Dom Hastings, who now works for the British Council, will meet us there. We look forward to seeing a reciprocal visit by Indian writers to our Bloody Scotland festival in a future year.
I have never visited India before, although both Jenny and Dom have, for various festivals and book trade fairs. I have however lived in the tropics, having worked for five years in Northern Nigeria, alongside other expats from the Indian subcontinent. In fact when I began my writing career it was with short stories set in this setting in Nigeria. So I'll be looking for inspiration during my Kolkata visit.
I am at present thoroughly enjoying the detective novel, A Rising Man by Abir Mukherjee which is set in Kolkata (Calcutta) in 1919. Abir, a London based Scot has already appeared at Bloody Scotland to great acclaim and I would highly recommend his novel which won the 2014 Telegraph Harvill Secker crime writing competition.
We have individual author events and a Bloody Scotland event at the festival, and will be reporting our experiences on social media (main festival hashtag is #KLF17).

When my children were young they spent a great deal of time on Cairngorm with the Cairngorm Ski Club, in all weathers I might add. Me, not so often, and usually only when there was little wind and the sun came out.
The idea for the book came to me on Hogmanay 2015 when the whole family was back at home in Carrbridge, and since we don't have a TV, we were playing daft games while waiting for 'the bells' at midnight.
I suddenly imagined what it might be like to spend Hogmanay on Cairngorm in a blizzard and what might happen there and thus the story was born.
I was helped in my research by Willie Anderson, Leader of Cairngorm Mountain Rescue Team, and many of their amazing stories of survival and death in what is Scotland's Arctic. The truth is far stranger and more wonderful than anything we can create in fiction.
The forensic side of the investigation led by Rhona is always for me the most fascinating aspect of the story. Holidaying in Aviemore where Sean is playing a Hogmanay gig, Rhona joins Professor Charlie Robertson, former colleague and pathologist who's part of CMRT, to investigate a downed plane on frozen Loch A'an. CMRT being the first onto any scene of death on the mountain, are resposible for the initial forensic examination. What Rhona and Charlie find is not what they expected.
I knew shortly after I began Follow the Dead that the case would be a joint investigation with Norway. Five years ago I was asked to give a talk at the Edinburgh Film Festival about Nordic and Tartan Noir.
I had always known of the close connections between Norway and Scotland, mainly because I lived and worked in Orkney for a time and the idea of a joint investigation fascinated me. Think of The Bridge but without the bridge ... just miles of North Sea.
I contacted the Norwegian Consulate in Edinburgh and they put me in touch with the Cultural Centre in Stavanger who in turn set up meetings with Stavanger Police Force. I flew to Stavanger from Aberdeen, a short hop of 50 minutes and spent four days there.
Police Inspector Egil Erikson and his team couldn't have been more helpful and as a result, the character of Police Inspector Alvis Olsen in Follow the Dead was created.
Update 4th September, 2018: Follow the Dead is shortlisted for the McIlvanney Prize for Scottish Crime Book of 2018.

The Earth is Closing on Us
Freda Guttman, Montréal (QC, Canada)
Published in inTensions issue 3.0: Suspended – Fall 2009
That human beings can be born into this type of space, and in fact spend their entire lives in it, begs significant questions regarding the institutional and political structures that allow it to exist. Bearing no responsibility for their status, these people are born into a space of uncertainty, violence and exploitation from which emergence seems an ever-distant possibility.
Craig Damian Smith (PERPETUATED LIMINALITY)
This work is one of a suite of works-in-progress which fuse archival images of the Nakba with the poetry of Mahmoud Darwish, the great Palestinian poet who died last year. The Nakba of 1948, ('catastrophe' in Arabic), created three quarters of a million Palestinians refugees who fled to Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The haunting, iconic photographic images of the Nakba evoke the suffering — imprinted forever are the forlorn lines of forsaken people disappearing over the horizon into the unknown, at the beginning of their long journey into dispossession and statelessness. Mahmoud Darwish himself shared that journey, having experienced ethnic cleansing, imprisonment, statelessness and exile.
The UN defines a Palestine refugee as a person whose normal place of residence was Palestine during the period 1 June 1946 to 15 May 1948 and who lost both home and means of livelihood as a result of the 1948 conflict which saw the creation of the state of Israel. There were massacres in some villages and panic; most were forced to leave, some with the false promises of return. Driven by fear, they fled with what they could carry and with the keys to their homes. Over 500 villages were destroyed. In 1967 this process was repeated on a smaller scale, making some Palestinians refugees twice. The Iraq war has yet again created a new group of Palestinian refugees. Faced with violence, forced to flee their homes because they had been supported by Saddam Hussein, they live in tents in Iraq at its border with Syria.
Between sixty and seventy percent of the population of Gaza, the most densely populated place in the world, is comprised of internal refugees from cities and towns in the surrounding areas. The city of Nablus in the West Bank is host to Balata, the largest refugee camp in the West Bank. Every Palestinian city has its camps including Jerusalem.
Ask a child, a third generation refugee in a camp in Lebanon or elsewhere where he or she is from and the response will be the name of a village or a city in Israel, the West Bank or Gaza, one that that they have never seen, one that no longer exists but is nevertheless home, where they belong, where they will return to. They will show you the keys.

J Robert Scott Shards Mirror Designed by Sally Sirkin Lewis.
J. Robert Scott, Inc. the internationally known luxury furniture and textile manufacturer announces that the United States Patent Office has issued a design patent for the Shards Mirror.
U.S. Design Patent No. D727, 628 was issued to designer Sally Sirkin Lewis for the beveled mirror which is comprised of matte and polished stainless steel bars in various lengths, in a polished stainless steel frame. The random spacing and placement of the bars is the result of a "happy accident". While the cardboard prototype was laid out, with the bars in an organized basket weave pattern, Ms. Lewis bumped into the frame and skewed the bars in a completely new orientation. The new look was visually interesting and complex. "This is one of those instances in which the unexpected has turned out to be a truly new take on a design!" Ms. Lewis stated.
The Shards Mirror can be configured in a variety of frame shapes, and is available in optional finishes.

Q: How to draw different shapes by clicking a button in android? I have been looking for help doing this, I am attempting to create a snake game, what I need to do is draw into a bitmap or into an image view while clicking a button, that's the problem: every time I draw a shape, then the layout is erased, the goal for me is to draw into any object while I can still click a button, what I have already done is to draw over a layout and displaying an image, here is my code:
public class DisplayMessage extends Activity {

ImageView image;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_display_message);
    Intent intent = getIntent();
    String message = intent.getStringExtra("Hola Jorge");
    DrawView drawView;

    drawView = new DrawView(this);
    setContentView(drawView);
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.display_message, menu);
    return true;
}

}

package mipaca;

public class DrawView extends View {
Paint paint = new Paint();

public DrawView(Context context) {
    super(context);
    paint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
}

@Override
public void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {

        //canvas.drawColor(Color.GREEN);

        canvas.drawLine(0, 0, 20, 20, paint);
        canvas.drawLine(20, 0, 0, 20, paint);
        Bitmap compara = Bitmap.createBitmap(100, 100, Config.ARGB_8888);
        canvas.drawBitmap(compara, 0, 0, paint);

        Rect rectangle = new Rect(0,0,100,100);
        canvas.drawBitmap(compara, 0,0,null);

}

}

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

CharSequence[] items = {"Google","Apple","Microsoft"};
boolean[] itemsChecked = new boolean[items.length];

ImageView image;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
    return true;
}

public void onClick2(View v)
{

    Intent intent = new Intent(this, DisplayMessage.class);
    startActivity(intent);

}

public void onClick(View v)
{
    //image.setImageResource(R.drawable.ferrari_458_italia_1);
    showDialog(0);
    DrawView2 alpha;
}

@Override
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id){
    switch(id){
    case 0:
        return new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
        .setIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
        .setTitle("Este es un diálogo con algo de texto")
        .setPositiveButton("OK",

        new DialogInterface.OnClickListener(){
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton)
            {
                Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "bien, click!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }

        }
        )
        .setNegativeButton("Cancel",            new DialogInterface.OnClickListener(){
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton)
            {
                Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "bien, click!",     Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }

        }
).create();

    }
    return null;
}

public void onDraw(Canvas canvas)
{
    Paint p = new Paint();
    p.setColor(Color.BLUE);
    p.setAntiAlias(true);
    canvas.drawColor(Color.CYAN);
    canvas.drawCircle(200, 200, 50, p);
}

}

A: I hope this help someone, I forgot about this question until I came across with this idea: We can use an ImageView and then use a bitmap to draw any shape with a canvas, it is easier for me to draw in this way rather than using OnPaint function and invalidate because just modifying the bitmap and displaying it we can move an object on image and still have buttons, textboxs, etc. Here is what I have done:
(linen is our ImageView)
Bitmap bMap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.ic_launcher);
Paint paint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
android.graphics.Bitmap.Config bitmapConfig = bMap.getConfig();
if(bitmapConfig == null) {
bitmapConfig = android.graphics.Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888;
}
bMap = bMap.copy(bitmapConfig, true);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bMap);
paint.setColor(Color.rgb(61, 61, 61));
canvas.drawCircle(10, 10, 5, paint);
linen = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.View1);
linen.setImageBitmap(bMap);

If you're looking to rent a dumpster in Montvale, one of your main concerns is going to be price. There are generally two pricing options available when renting a dumpster in Montvale. Flat rate is pricing dependent on the size of the dumpster, not the quantity of stuff you put in it. Per ton pricing will charge you based on the weight you need hauled.
One sort of pricing structure isn't always more expensive than the other. If you know just how much stuff you have to throw away, you might get a better deal with per ton pricing. On the other hand, flat rate pricing can help you keep a limitation on prices when you're coping with unknown weights. Whether you consistently rent dumpsters for work or just need a one time rental for a project around the home, you want to look around to find the best rental prices predicated on your demands.
The total amount of time that you have to rent a dumpster in Montvale normally depends on the type of project you're working on. A small job, for example a cellar clean out, will probably take a couple of days to finish while larger projects, like constructing a brand new house, could take several months.
Most dumpster rental firms in Montvale are happy to adjust their programs to suit your needs. Keep in mind, however, that the more time you keep the dumpster, the further you will need to pay for it.
When you contact dumpster rental firms in Montvale, ask them how long their terms are. Many will allow you choices such as several days or one week, however there are typically longer periods available, also.
The smallest size roll-off dumpster generally available is 10 yards. This container will hold about 10 cubic yards of waste and debris, which is roughly equivalent to 3 to 5 pickup truck loads of waste. This dumpster is a great choice for small-scale jobs, for example modest house cleanouts.
Other examples of jobs that a 10 yard container would work well for include: A garage, shed or attic cleanout A 250 square foot deck removal 2,000 to 2,500 square feet of single layer roofing shingles A little kitchen or bathroom remodeling job Concrete or dirt removal Getting rid of trash Be constantly aware that weight constraints for the containers are enforced, thus exceeding the weight limit will incur additional charges. The standard weight limitation for a 10 yard bin is 1 to 3 tons (2,000 to 6,000 pounds).
A 10 yard bin can help you take good care of small jobs around the house. If you have a larger job coming up, have a look at some larger containers also.
Do I require a license to rent a dumpster in Montvale?
If this is your first time renting a dumpster in Montvale, you may not know what's legally permissible in regards to the placement of the dumpster. If you plan to put the dumpster totally on your own property, you're not ordinarily required to get a license.
If, nevertheless, your job needs you to set the dumpster on a public street or roadway, this may normally mean that you must make an application for a license. It's always wise to check with your local city or county offices (maybe the parking enforcement department) in case you have a question regarding the requirement for a license on a street.
Should you fail to obtain a license and discover out afterwards that you were required to have one, you may probably face a fine from your local authorities. In most dumpster rental in Montvale cases, though, you should be just fine without a license as long as you keep the dumpster on your property.
Renting a 40 yard dumpster will get you a container that holds about 40 cubic yards of waste. Dumpster sizes and dimensions are not perfectly conventional from company to company, but common measurements for a 40 yard container are 22 feet long by 8 feet wide by 8 feet high. This is the biggest size that a lot of dumpster firms generally rent, so it is perfect for large residential projects in addition to for commercial and industrial use.
If you need to rent a dumpster in Montvale, you'll find that costs vary substantially from state to state and city to city. One means to get actual quotes for the service you need will be to phone a local dumpster company and ask about their costs. You can even request a quote online on some sites. These sites may also comprise complete online service that's always open. On these sites, you can select, schedule and pay for your service whenever it is convenient for you.
Variables which affect the price of the container comprise landfill fees (higher in some places than others) and the size of the container you opt for. You also need to consider transport costs and the type of debris you'll be placing into your container.
Price quotes for dumpster rental in Montvale typically comprise the following: the size of the container, the type of debris involved, the base price for the dumpster, how much weight is included in the quote, a specified rental period and delivery and pick-up fees.
5. Learn what services you get with your dumpster rental in Montvale.
When you want to rent a dumpster in Montvale to use at your house, it is a great idea to keep several guidelines in mind. First, ascertain the size dumpster which will work best for your project. Temporary dumpsters usually come in 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard sizes. Then think about the placement of the dumpster on your premises. Recommendations call for you to provide a place that's double the width and height of the container. This can ensure proper height and space clearance.
The price you're quoted for the container will have a one-time delivery and pick-up fee, along with normal fees for disposal, fuel and tax. You must also realize that you can simply fill the container to the top; no debris should be sticking out. As the homeowner, you should also check with your local city or municipality to determine if a license is required to set the container on the street.
Front -load and roll off dumpsters have different layouts which make them useful in various manners. Understanding more about them will enable you to choose an alternative that is right for your endeavor.
Front-load dumpsters have mechanical arms that could lift heavy things. This is really a handy option for jobs that comprise a lot of heavy items like appliances and concrete. They are also good for emptying commercial dumpsters like the type restaurants use.
Roll off dumpsters are usually the right option for commercial and residential jobs like repairing a roof, remodeling a cellar, or adding a room to your residence. They have doors that swing open, allowing you to walk into the dumpster. Additionally they have open tops that let you throw debris into the container. Rental companies will commonly leave a roll off dumpster at your endeavor location for many days or weeks. This is really a handy option for both little and big jobs.
When you rent a roll-off dumpster, you will be enticed to throw anything and everything indoors. Common items which individuals typically dispose of in a dumpster include solid waste material and most routine home and building waste, together with tree limbs and landscaping debris. They could be used for business and commercial cleanouts, home renovations, getting rid of trash when you're moving to a brand new home, bigger landscaping occupations and more.
A list of stuff you cannot put in a roll-off dumpster contains paints and solvents, automotive fluids, pesticides, chemicals, electronic equipment and batteries. Should you try to contain these items, you will likely get an extra fee. Other items which will undoubtedly incur an additional fee include tires, mattresses and appliances. Additional heavy substances are also not permitted; items that are too heavy may exceed authorities transfer regulations and be unsafe to haul.
Junk removal vs dumpster rental in Montvale - Which is good for you?
When you have a job you're going to undertake at home, you may be wondering if it's better to hire someone to come haul off all your rubbish and rubbish for you, or in case you need to only rent a dumpster in Montvale and load it yourself.
Renting a container is a better option in case you want the flexibility to load it on your own time and you do not mind doing it yourself to save on work. Dumpsters also work well if you've at least seven cubic yards or more of debris. Rolloffs normally start at 10 cubic yards, so if you only have 3-4 yards of waste, you're paying for much more dumpster than you desire.
Trash or crap removal makes more sense in case you want another person to load your old things. Additionally, it works well if you want it to be taken away fast so it's out of your own hair or if you only have a few big things; this is probably cheaper than renting an entire dumpster.

This six-day, self-guided bike tour allows you to explore the heart of Provence at a more challenging level than other tours of the region.
Beginning in Bédoin and ending in Gargas, the itinerary features relatively short daily rides, allowing you to fully experience Provence rather than just see it as you pass by.
Highlights include visits to some of Provence's most acclaimed wine-making towns (Vacqueyas, Gigondas, Beaumes de Venise), stops in several of France's "most beautiful" villages (Séguret, Gordes, and Roussillon), and options to climb legendary Mont Ventoux or snake through the Gorges de la Nesque. Each night, you'll stay in comfortable, character-filled hotels set in utterly charming towns.
Day 1: Arrival into Avignon
Arrive in Avignon at the time of your choice. An early arrival will allow you time to visit the ancient city of Avignon and its highlights, such as the Palace of the Popes, located a few minutes' walk from your hotel.
Day 2: Transfer from Avignon to Bédoin. Loop or ride to Mazan.
Our taxi partner will transfer you to Bédoin where you'll be outfitted with your rental bike. If you have the time and inclination, you may ride a loop around the fabulous Dentelles de Montmirail (a vertebrae of dramatically jagged mountains). Your toast-giving skills may come into play during today's loop. You'll wheel through some of the most noted wine-making villages in Provence, starting with Beaumes-de-Venise. From a scenic spot at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail, this old-world village is home to Muscat de Beaumes de Venise, one of the planet's most applauded wines. Vacqueyras is next, followed by Gigondas and then Séguret, which lives up to its hype as one of France's "most beautiful villages."
As your loop begins to bend around, you'll pedal into Vaison-la-Romaine. Divided by the Ouvéze River, Vaison-la-Romaine's lower half features a trove of Gallo-Roman ruins, making it one of Europe's largest archaeological sites, while the upper half, perched atop a knuckle of rock, rates as a monument to medieval architecture. Before reaching Mazan, you'll have the option to ride up to the tiny village of Suzette (1,080 m/3,540 ft), a modest ascent that, if you so choose, will add 20 km (12 miles) to the day's ride. If you arrive too late or don't feel like doing the loop, you have the option of riding the 10 km from Bédoin to Mazan.
Day 3: Mazan - Sault
Depending on preference, you'll have the option to climb Mont Ventoux, the "Giant of Provence," or go a more leg-friendly route through Gorges de la Nesque. The first option allows you to climb a classic route up Mont Ventoux, which touches the sky at 1,912 meters (6,273 feet). This barren peak enjoys all-star status with riders, having appeared in the Tour de France 15 times since 1951. The second option corkscrews along the floor of the Gorges de la Nesque and averages, by our count, 11 picture-stops per mile (14 if you visit the Chapelle Saint-Michel, a tiny, 12th-century chapel tucked under a cliff). You'll stay in Sault tonight, a tiny village that's as historic as it is beautiful. Surrounded by fields of lavender, your ride around Sault could resemble an unframed Monet painting in 3-D (depending on the time of year).
Day 4: Sault - Fontaine-de-Vaucluse
Today's ride allows you to experience rural Provence at its best. You'll wheel across rolling green hills and through timeless villages hemmed with vineyards and fruit orchards… the type of decaffeinated setting that causes sound-minded people to ponder quitting their jobs, moving to Provence, and spending their remaining years in sun-drenched fields applying oil paints to canvas. The village of Venasque, designated one of France's "most beautiful villages," highlights the ride. Fontaine-de-Vaucluse will be your home for the night. Huddled at the foot of the Vaucluse Mountains, Fontaine-de-Vaucluse features the fifth largest underground spring in the world. Against a backdrop of craggy cliffs and draping foliage, the spring's emerging turquoise-colored waters are extremely camera-worthy.
Day 5: Fontaine-de-Vaucluse – Roussillon or Gargas
It won't take long for the day's wow-factor to kick in when you ride into Gordes. Perched atop a hillside, it is one of France's 144 "most beautiful villages." Ancient stone buildings line its many narrow cobbled alleyways and arcades, all of which lead to the Chateau de Gordes, the village's iconic landmark. Nearby Sénanque Abbey, located below Gordes, is worth visiting as well. From here you'll bicycle through a chain of scenic, hillside villages – Menerbes, Lacoste and Bonnieux – before reaching Roussillon, yet another of France's "most beautiful villages," which once served as home for writer Samuel Beckett.
Day 6: Transfer to Avignon and departure
We will transfer you back to Avignon so you can continue on your adventure.

Q: How to create a dict of lists in as little coding as possible in Python? I am trying to create a dict of lists where the key is a variable from a function that I call (to return an object). I then want to create a list of those objects. I have a hard time instantiating the list without cumbersome code. Can someone show me how to do this more efficiently?
Here is my current code:
def test(xlist):
    ret = dict()
    for x in xlist:
        y = somefunction(x)
        if y.variable not in ret:
            ret[y.variable] = [y]
        else:
            ret[y.variable].append(y)

    return ret

A: You don;t need a membership check before inserting so as not to override duplicate element. Either you can use dict.setdefault or use collections.defaultdict
Instead of
    if y.variable not in ret:
        ret[y.variable] = [y]
    else:
        ret[y.variable].append(y)

rewrite it as
    ret.setdefault(y.variable,[]).append(y)

In case you are interested to use default dict, this is what you may like to do
def test(xlist):
    from collections import defaultdict
    ret = defaultdict(list)
    for x in xlist:
        y = somefunction(x)
        ret[y.variable].append(y)
    return ret


- Notice that the right side is larger? This means that the right side is PMOS and the left side is NMOS. Since NMOS on the right likes to connect to ground (V-) and PMOS on the left likes to connect to power (V+) we have identified the power nets. This can then be traced as needed. + Notice that the left side is smaller than the right? This means that the left side is NMOS and the right side is PMOS.
