FUND A COACH FOR BURTON FANS
Burton AlbionFA Cup
AFC BOURNEMOUTH: Which striker will go and which strikers will stay?
The referee's a….. #2.1
BURNLEY 1 BOURNEMOUTH 1
YEOVIL 0 BOURNEMOUTH 1
IS THE CHERRIES PLAY-OFF DREAM STILL ON?
By Tales From The South End - January, 5th 2014
The third round of the FA CUP pitted us against Burton Albion, the first time since we won promotion in 2010. A 400-mile round trip that saw no football, we feel for them. As a goodwill gesture a site has been set up to pay for a coach for the replay on Tuesday 14th Jan 2014. If you want to contribute head to the gofundme site. They need £800 and over £250 has already been raised. Add your donation now.
Here's what the site has to say:
"On 24th April 2010 AFC Bournemouth secured promotion to League 1 with a 2-0 victory over Burton Albion. The way our fans were treated that day from the pubs, to the stewards to their fans was just brilliant and has left great memories in many of our fans minds.
We were due to meet them for the first time since that joyous day in the FA cup but the game was postponed just over an hour before kick off, with most away fans in the Bournemouth area having to face a frustrating day of travelling.
As a sign of good will, David Whitehead came up with the idea of Cherries fans chipping in to help fund a coach for our friends at Burton Albion so they can experience free travel and enjoy the re-arranged fixture which is on Tuesday 14th January.
Thank you to all those who will support."

To make NACD's new logos as easy to use as possible for our members, we are holding a webinar on Friday, August 18 from 10:00am to 11:00am Eastern. In this free webinar, attendees will learn the appropriate uses for NACD branding elements and have time to ask specific questions. An archived copy of the session will be available on NACD's website for those who are unable to attend. If you would like to join, email Director of Communications Whitney Forman-Cook to receive the call-in information.
The U.S. House Agriculture Committee traveled the country last week listening to what stakeholders have to say about the upcoming farm bill. Conservation districts were well represented at these listening sessions by NACD North Central Executive Board Member Ian Cunningham, NACD Board Member and South Central Region Chair Jule Richmond (pictured above), and Karen Buhr, executive director of the California Association of Resource Conservation Districts.
In San Angelo, Texas, on July 31, Richmond told the panel that "Locally-led, voluntary, incentive-based conservation serves agriculture best." Three days later in Morgan, Minnesota, Cunningham (pictured below) asked the committee to "fight to maintain USDA's ability to do their part" in maintaining the conservation delivery system in the U.S.

The Fairbanks SWCD in Alaska was awarded a NACD Urban Agriculture Conservation (UAC) grant in 2016 to help south-side city residents grow "stores outside their doors" with backyard and community gardens. During evening "walkabouts" in Fairbanks neighborhoods, the district staff asked residents about their interest in gardening and attending grower workshops. With the information they gathered, the staff identified already established community gardens to host educational workshops, and searched for new sites to create gardens.
To build ongoing support for current and new gardens, the district met with the University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension, JP Jones, the City of Fairbanks, Fairbanks Master Gardeners, NRCS, the local Rotary, and other agencies and businesses. Borough Mayor Karl Kassel even passed a rezoning measure to permit community gardens in the South Cushman area as a result.
Through partnership planning and many donations, community gardens have been established at Fairbanks Neighborhood Housing and at the Corinthian Baptist Church. Participants in the Fairbanks SWCD's Youth for Habitat summer work program built 16 raised beds out of donated garage doors, and the Fairbanks Youth Facility built 16 raised beds out of donated warped lumber from the local mill. Numerous other groups donated resources and services.
Working with public and private sector partners, the district also created and hosted several well-attended workshops on how to: start seeds, grow food in containers, build healthy soils, and practice sustainable weed management, among other topics. To learn more about the project, click here to go to the district's website, or here to read a NACD blog post.
Happy 80th birthday to Brown Creek Soil and Water Conservation District!
North Carolina's Brown Creek Soil and Water Conservation District became the first conservation district ever established in the United States on August 4, 1937. Dr. Hugh Hammond Bennett, the "father of soil conservation," was an Anson County native and integral to the district's establishment.
Today, 80 years later, the Brown Creek SWCD board, staff, and partnering agencies are still dedicated to helping preserve Anson County's natural beauty and resources, and to continuing Hugh Hammond Bennett's legacy. Happy birthday and congratulations from NACD!

"I've been, searching, for that missing productivity application." OK, it doesn't end with quite the same rhythm as Michael W. Smith's "MIssing Person," but it rings true for me anyway. Sometimes I think I've tried nearly every todo, productivity, and Getting Things Done software or web application invented. Then I look around the web for them, or stumble on another one, and I realize I haven't seen it all and, of course, I have to try it.
The result is usually "cool," and I might use it for a day or two. And then, I forget about it. (I use and love the HelpSpot helpdesk software (Lakeview is even a HelpSpot case study!), but there are tasks (and projects) I'd like to manage outside of requests in the helpdesk, and that's just an at-work solution.) Now that I have an iPhone, although it comes with no built-in task managment program (why? Beats me), I figured someone would have made a system I could use on my desktop, laptop, and iPhone to track todo lists at home, for Lakeview, and for the Indianag A/G District Office where I work one day per week. And when I'm somewhere else, I don't really want to see what I have to do anywhere but where I am! And oh yeah, I'd like subtasks support, tagging, sorting, searching, start and end due dates, and due time with reminders built in, and probably a few things I'm forgetting. And can you make it free while you're at it?
I don't recall exactly how I discovered it, but it was probably a Google search or a post comparing services that led me to Toodledo. The name almost turned me off from looking at it at all. It's a nice play on words but not as "professional" sounding as I was looking for. But hey, Remember the Milk isn't all suit-and-tie sounding either, so I gave it a shot, especially because it had a free iPhone interface called Slim. The well-done feature comparison chart also helped to convince me to try it out, given it's completeness compared to every competitor listed (granted, the chart is a bit out of date per a few forum postings especially in relation to Todoist, which I tried briefly after I was already using Toodledo (always on the lookout for something closer to perfection :-) and if you like using the keyboard extensively it may be an excellent option, although I'm not sure about an iPhone version). Of course comparison charts are intended to be biased towards the company making the chart, but the list of features Toodledo had was impressive by itself.
This is going to get long, so for more information I'm breaking the rest out after the jump if you're reading this on the web!
After customizing the fields I wanted to use (most of them, it turns out) and playing with the Contexts feature which lets you save a location or context for each todo item, I started to actually put a few tasks in for the next few days to get a feel for how to use it in a daily workflow. It clicked. I still find some interface things to be not as easy as they could be, but I like Toodledo so much that I've purchased a Pro account for $15 per year to unlock some additional features. The fee is more reasonable than any other pro account I've encountered for task management, and although my preference is of course for stuff that's free, the Pro account just added enough value at a small enough price to make it worthwhile (subtasks and longer completed-task history retention were the two that put me over the edge, but the Scheduler and Stats features are also nice). However I haven't seen the need for a 1GB file storage area that doubles the price, so I stuck with a Pro rather than a Pro Plus account; the file storage and going from 2 years of completed-item retention to forever are the only additional features for the upgraded plan.
The definition of what I look for in a productivity app keeps changing. Universally available todo lists with all the features I've mentioned were the biggest need I had and Toodledo fills that void nicely. Some people, especially those using the GTD system, use Toodledo to track projects (GTD defines a project as "anything requiring more than one specific action to complete" while I both like that and have an additional one, something like "something I want to get done including collaboration with others" or something along those lines). Toodledo provides task sharing (read-only unless the other user has a Pro account) and you can use Toodledo's Projects field to track GTD-like projects, but at work I'm still missing something between todo list and helpdesk.
What I'm looking for is Project Management. Something like Microsoft Project without the complexity, on the web, for one to several people working together on multiple projects to use for tasks and collaboration. There are nearly as many options in this space as there are todo list services! The most well-known of these is probably 37signals' Basecamp and their associated services (like Backpack, for todos and calendaring–but it's not free!). Basecamp is nice but their free account only allows for one project, and their paid accounts are more than I'm willing to shell out for right now, and they don't offer non-profit discounts (I asked). That's OK, copycats are a dime a dozen, but the problem is finding the one that does everything the way I want it to, at the right price! Unlike Toodledo, I've not discovered the perfect-enough solution for this yet, but I'm still looking. My biggest concern is that most project management systems include their own todo list system, and I want to make sure I don't split my nice Toodledo system and have to check two separate todo lists all the time! I'm keeping this in mind as I evaluate.
Centrally managing a list like that would be much better than me having to come up with it off the top of my head like I just did! Yes I can just write down a list, and I have a few of those, but that leaves out the collaboration opportunity. One of the few entirely free options I'm contemplating is called ClockingIT. The interface doesn't seem as clean as some competitors, but it has many features including a Wiki, chat, forums, and files, along with reporting and charting options. And the price is right.
This is one of many possibilities several of us in the Church IT IRC channel (#citrt on the Freenode IRC network) discussed a week or two ago when we went Googling for project management options. No one in the group has a perfect solution but several have none (hence the looking!), and others are using things like Basecamp, Sharepoint (WSS) or Microsoft Project. I refuse to get sucked into using Sharepoint and the other two I've already eliminated for reasons above, so that's why I'm still looking! I'm tracking things that show some promise using my Delicious keyword "projectmanagement" if you care to browse. For churches, TeamWorkLive stands out as another very nice option, although the price is too steep for me right now. I can see this being a great all-church-staff project management tool, if everyone gets on board and you're OK with the $200/mo for 50 users (or $150/mo for 25 users…there are other plans too).
This is a brief overview of how I use Toodledo. I have most of the fields except for the sharing-related ones enabled. I used Google's Chrome browser to create an "Application" out of the Toodledo website so I can easily open a separate Toodledo-only window, preventing it from getting lost amid my many tabs (no, I'm not kidding! Too many tabs to provide an exact count right now though…). I have the same setup on the desktop I use at each office and on my laptop, and I have an iPhone home screen icon set up for the Toodledo Slim iPhone webapp interface (I'm also presently using the Appigo Todo native iPhone app, which is nice, but it is missing several features including subtask and context support that prevent it from being as useful in general, even though it syncs well with Toodledo. Appigo has said they are working to add these features in the near future).
I have Toodledo set to default to the Contexts tab, since you can select any of the fields to start with by default. This lists all the Contexts I have set up in tabs across the top of the screen, and I can easily select which one to view (the number of tasks in the context is shown in parentheses on the tab but that can optionally be hidden). The main contexts I have (plus a few infrequently used ones) are: Any Computer, Lakeview, District, and Home. I default to sorting tasks by Importance and then Auto. Importance is a foruma defined by Toodledo that takes into account both the priority of a task and how soon it's due, and assigns each task a numerical value of "importance." The higher-importance items are shown at the top, and for each task the due date or priority is displayed at the right side (whichever is the reason for the importance level is displayed, due date or priority, per task).
A quick scan shows me what I need to do today and I can pick a next action to work on based on only tasks that I can do (that are in the context I'm presently in; at Lakeview for example). I have keyboard shortcuts enabled which lets me type "n" to create a new task quickly, and I can tab through the fields to set the folder, start and due dates, priorities, context (defaults to the context I'm in) and other settings as applies to that task. The Folder field I'm using kind of as a categorization field and kind of as a "project" field, I've not decided 100% how I'm going to use it yet. But that's an example of flexibility; I can use the Folder field for whatever I want however I want to! There's also a Tags field which allows for multiple, comma-separated tags which you can view and sort just like any other fields. I'm using tags sparingly right now, but will throw "web," "order," "blog," for categorization, or a person's name (like my boss) to create an agenda to talk to that person about the next time I see them.
Subtasks, which are a feature of the Pro account I paid for, are nice but not as easy to use as I'd like. Without seeing or using it I'm not sure I could explain it very well so I won't try for now. Suffice it to say the usability of the interface for subtasks has a ways to go to make it as efficient or easy to use as it needs to be for me to get much use out of it. Like others on the Toodledo forums, I would also like to see the ability to assign an order to subtasks so as each was marked complete, the next one would be "active" until it was complete, and so on. This would make tasks with subtasks very usable as GTD "projects->next actions" which I would like to get into more in-depth as I work toward trying to implement GTD myself (I am currently trying to use some of the GTD concepts but I haven't dived in to the program all the way). I presently have 55 active todo items in Toodledo, which is the important suff I can't forget but is not close to the full brain dump GTD requires to really work well!
The iPhone interface is mostly full-featured but obviously limited in the amount of information it can display at once, and the lag time for the webapp to refresh is occasionally annoying. However I use it to enter new todo items at least as often as I use a computer, I think, and I edit and mark tasks complete on it as well (it's nice that I can review pretty much anywhere when I have downtime, without having to be in front of a computer!). The biggest benefit to having an iPhone interface is that I'm more likely to follow through and use the system the more contstant and "anywhere" my access to it is. I don't want to rely on something that goes away when I'm not at my computer; that's when I need to be reminded what I need to do the most! Especially as I'm running around the building away from my office. Between Appigo Todo and the Slim webapp, I get what I need to out of the iPhone side of Toodledo access, but it's not perfect. I am looking forward to the Appigo Todo updates that will add Contexts especially (and subtasks!), and Toodledo developers themselves have mentioned in their forums that they are looking at iPhone native apps themselves but have not released any details about when to expect anything concrete to materialize.
Some other ways that Toodledo provides to interface with their system are email, Twitter, and Jott. I have enough ways to add and view tasks on the go that I don't think the Twitter integration will be very useful to me despite my extensive use of Twitter. Jott is an excellent service that I've used for a long time off and on, but recently they switched to a paid model and left beta status. Basic Jotting is still free but connecting to productivity services like Toodledo requires a paid monthly subscription now. If I get desperate enough to need quick voice-to-todo translation I'll contemplate a subscription; until then I may use the iPhone Jott app to capture quick items that I can manually enter as a Toodledo task later. Email is one piece that I haven't really gotten into the swing of using but should be pretty powerful, because you can forward an email to your secret Toodledo email address, changing the subject to the actual todo text (add exclaimation points to bump up the priority, and @context to set a context) and the body of the email becomes the task's note. This should make creating tasks from emails quick and painless, but like I said I just haven't started using it heavily yet, even though I need to. The same command-shorthand works to create new tasks via Twitter using a Direct Message, by the way.
There are several other ways to get information out of Toodledo, including iCal subscriptions, Vista and Apple dashboard or sidebar widgets, a Firefox extension and sidebar (the sidebar uses the same Slim interface as the iPhone), and there's a third-party Outlook Synchronization Tool that does just what it sounds like, using the Toodledo API. I tried this (it does work!) since I use Outlook but the lack of contexts turned me off and I've tried and failed to use the Outlook Tasks feature for tracking todo items, so I'm not sure why I wanted to try again :-) You can display your tasks in your Google Calendar in at least two ways (as a drop down item each day to see tasks due that day, or as actual calendar items if you've set a due time as well), and you can get text-message or email alerts about an hour before a task with the due time field set is due (for now, you can't configure how early to remind you, and if on, all tasks with a due time will remind you up to the maximum number of reminders you want per day).
Is Toodledo what I'm going to use long-term? Well, I've spent about $25 on Toodledo Pro for a year, and the Appigo Todo and Notebook iPhone Apps. I've been using the system for about a month I think, successfully, and with money invested I (hope) I'm nore likely to stick with it longer. Only time will tell! It's full-featured yet flexible, but it doesn't quite provide the collaborative project management that I'm also looking for, which may end up being another tool to juggle when I find the right one, rather than replacing Toodledo. Sometimes you just need a nice, smart, flexible list to give your mind some sanity by offloading the "stuff" to the system.
That's the premise of GTD, and Toodleso is my favorite implementation so far. I just have to be careful to avoid something I recall reading on Merlin Mann's 43folders blog a while ago (I'm not sure what article) that mentioned it was too easy to spend more time looking at, examining, and setting up a system that you more busy with that than actually using it! I agree, that is easy to slip into sometimes! I guess I'll just have to stop and use this for while!
Great post. I've been looking at TODO apps forever and they just never "stick". You always start out feeling like you'll be more organized, but I always abandon them in a day or two. I'm not sure why this is. Keep us updated on if this actually works out for you.
Never heard about Toodledo before. Since I run PM Hut I was interested in the collaboration (which is mainly what Project Managers are much interested in these days) aspect of this product.
I have to say that this part didn't seem to advanced compared to other products (yet you have to take into consideration that this is a free product).
A video or 2 (on the toodledo website) would have been helpfpul.
@PM Hut: I have not used the collaboration features at all. I'm a one-man department right now so it's not terribly important, but as I mentioned I'd like to find a good project management option for working with volunteers. I mentioned ClockingIT.com as a free option I'm contemplating, but TeamWorkLive looks nice if you can afford it, too! Both have tasks of course but also a lot more collaboration features. I'm more concerned about accessing my tasks quickly from multiple platforms right now but I do see the need for separate project management as well! If only there was project management software that integrated with Toodledo's API…but I think that's wishful thinking unless I write it!
Great post. I've been looking at TODO apps forever and they just never "stick�.
Taskado is a completely free (not just "trial-basis" free) task and project management tool that small teams, whether for profit or non-profit, can use to successfully track task progress, complete projects, and foster team communication.
Glad to see you found something that is working well for managing your workflow. Fortunately, there are a lot of web-apps out there, a reflection of how differently we are solving the problems of task management. You should also check out Intervals, a web-based task management tool that also handles time tracking.
Thanks for the review. I'd like to add my praise for this web/iPhone app.
I've been using Toodledo for the past month and it's been very effective for me. I have 100 open tasks right now and I've closed about 60. Between folders, contexts, start/due dates, subtasks, and the iPhone… I've found a very effective way to manage the tasks in my life. I'm not a GTD adherent, just someone looking for better organization and tracking of things I need to do.
Levi: Sorry for the delay in my reply, but yes I'm still using Toodledo. It's the longest I've ever used one todo product! I'm using it a bit less in the last couple of months because I've switched jobs and I haven't fully gotten Toodledo integrated with my new routine yet (especially since I have to track customer tickets in separate helpdesk software–I used a helpdesk at my last job as well but it wasn't for billing purposes so minor stuff could just go in todo list), but Toodledo was helpful during my job transition and I'm likely going to start using it more heavily again.
The Appigo Todo app for the iPhone has been updated to support contexts, bulk editing, and several other efficient functions, and I'm using it exclusively on my phone instead of the Toodledo iPhone app (although it is also good, less expensive, and has had many features added since I last used it).
Also, take into consideration the WorkForceTrack team which enables sharing and integrating of the MS Project, inbox among the team members and other tools are available for successful business people.

Ten months after the wedding, Dodelson left the marital home with their newborn son, claiming her husband was controlling and manipulative.

Guys like to keep things up in the air during the early stages. Even though he might like you and want to be with you, he could still hold back just to play it safe.

You need to show him that you each have your own lives outside of the relationship where you can spend time with friends and pursue your hobbies and interests.
Once he sees that, he will not be afraid to commit to you. Having a great time. Guys are just as insecure as women sometimes, especially when they have feelings for a woman. If you want him to commit to you, you must treat him right so he is eager to be with you. In other words, you need to treat him just as you want to be treated in a relationship.

In Sephardi synagogues the whole congregation sits for Kaddish, except: In Ashkenazi synagogues, the custom varies. Very commonly, in both Orthodox and Reform congregations, everyone stands; but in some especially many Conservative and Hasidic synagogues, most of the congregants sit. Sometimes, a distinction is made between the different forms of Kaddish, or each congregant stands or sits according to his or her own custom.
The Mourner's Kaddish is often treated differently from the other variations of Kaddish in the service, as is the Half Kaddish before the maftir. At the first word of the prayer, at each Amen, at Yitbarakh, at Brikh hu, and for the last verse Oseh shalom. For Oseh shalom it is customary take three steps back if possible then bow to one's left, then to one's right, and finally bow forward, as if taking leave of the presence of a king, in the same way as when the same words are used as the concluding line of the Amidah.
Bereavement in Judaism "Mourner's Kaddish"  is said at all prayer services and certain other occasions. It is written in Aramaic. Following the death of a parent, child, spouse, or sibling it is customary to recite the Mourner's Kaddish in the presence of a congregation daily for thirty days, or eleven months in the case of a parent, and then at every anniversary of the death.
Customs for reciting the Mourner's Kaddish vary markedly among various communities. In Sephardi synagogues, the custom is that all the mourners stand and chant the Kaddish together.

Not satisfied with efforts to repeal Houston's Equal Rights Ordinance, one anti-LGBT activist is calling for a charter amendment to ban transgender protections in the city.
HERO opponents filed a lawsuit against the city, which heads to trial Tuesday, after officials rejected their petition to place the ordinance on the ballot, saying it didn't have enough valid signatures.
Now, anti-LGBT activist Dave Wilson is circulating another petition that would place a charter amendment on the ballot to repeal trans protections in both HERO and Mayor Annise Parker's 2012 executive order covering city employees.
Wilson, of Houstonians For Family Values, led efforts to pass a charter amendment prohibiting domestic partner benefits in 2001. He also made headlines in 2013 when he deceived voters into thinking he was black to get elected to the Houston Community College board.
"Enclosed please find our petition to prohibit men from using the women's restroom and women from using the men's restroom," Wilson's letter states. "Yes, you read the first sentence correctly."
The letter goes on to state that both HERO and the executive order prohibiting discrimination against trans city employees "allow men to use the women's restroom if they perceive or express themselves as women."
"The current lawsuit against the Mayor's bathroom ordinance will not stop her," Wilson writes. "We must change the City Charter to prohibit her (or any future mayor) from passing Executive Orders or Ordinances. An amendment to the City Charter is the only permanent solution. What happens to the citizens of Houston and their City government when both have largely forgotten God and instead worship pleasure over principle and elevate lust over love? If you feel that getting involved in politics and signing the enclosed petition is beneath your dignity because you want to focus on worshipping and not politics, you better think again! Your religious freedom will evaporate in the absence of political freedom."
"Except as required by State or Federal law, the City of Houston shall only define 'Gender Identity' as an Individual's Innate Identification, as either male or female, which Is assigned at birth. Perceived gender identification Is not allowed In defining 'Gender Identity.' Furthermore, the City of Houston shall require entities doing business with the city to adopt the same definition of 'Gender Identity.'"
According to Texas state law, the charter amendment would require 20,000 signatures to be placed on the ballot.
In the case of HERO, the city said opponents of the ordinance failed to gather the required 17,269 valid signatures. So it seems unlikely Wilson could gather a larger number for an even more extreme proposal.


This year, Music Mark traveled up and down the country to consult its membership on the National Plan for Music Education (NPME) and its future. From heads of Music Services/Hubs, their partners to peripatetic and classroom teaching staff, Music Mark has collated their insight and suggestions to inform its conversations with the Department of Education regarding a continued NPME beyond March 2020. Established in 2011, the policy is England's first National Plan for Music Education. However, its future is now in doubt as government funding for the policy comes to an end in less than two years time.


We are multi award-winning providers of beautiful giant Nordic tipis for year round weddings. Based in the South West, covering Southern England, the Midlands & South Wales.
We offer our customers far more than just the hire of our magical giant Nordic tipis. As well as a range of supporting services – floor planning, site visits, supplier liaison, 24 hour call out service, optional site management, and a comprehensive list of recommended venues and suppliers – we also offer reputation, reliability and expertise. We have nine years of knowledge and experience, and many hundreds of successful events under our belts. We have used this time to fine-tune all aspects of the business in both processes and customer service. We are in a position to hold a comprehensive stock of back-up tipis and equipment in reserve, which gives our customers the peace of mind that we can deliver 100% of the time. We have also received many awards over the years, and as our customers have voted them, they mean an awful lot to us. These awards and our testimonials say far more about the service that we provide than we would be comfortable doing! Most of all we are a tight-knit team of people who really know our stuff, and absolutely love what we do! We have a simple company ethos and that is to exceed expectations every time. This is at the heart of everything we do, from the events team in the office to the crews setting up the tipis, and it works!
We are lucky to have been involved in so many beautiful and unique weddings over the years so this is a really tough question to answer! One of the most memorable events in recent times was a tipi wedding with all the trimmings. Held in a family garden on a beautiful midsummer day, guests were invited to dress in their most glamorous, Oscars inspired attire and the bride wore a black couture gown. With THOUSANDS of fairy lights, sparkly hanging pompoms and huge floral centerpieces, the tipis looked simply magnificent.
A significant proportion of our growth has come from word of mouth recommendations. This means a huge amount to us as it reassures us that we are getting things right, and that all of our hard work is paying off.
Let your creativity run wild. The tipis provide a wonderful blank canvas to work with, which can be dressed up to suit any theme you have in mind, or left alone to create a beautiful backdrop to a glorious celebration.
Although we have held many hundreds of weddings in the tipis, we realise that every customer has a unique set of ideas and requirements. This is why a dedicated Event Co-ordinator is assigned to each customer, and works with them from receiving the initial enquiry to the take down of the tipis, ensuring that the little details are never overlooked.
One of the benefits of our gorgeous giant Nordic tipis is that the structures themselves provide a beautifully atmospheric space, with very little in the way of decor. The natural wooden poles, canvas, and the shape of the structure alone give you all the ambience you need for a super celebration. If you have a particular look or feel in mind for your wedding the structures work beautifully with most styling themes. Add an open fire, festoon and fairy lights, bunting or foliage and you can create the perfect atmosphere for your big day!
Oh so many stunning places! Cliff tops, woodland clearings, beside beaches and in the gardens of beautiful stately homes - the possibilities are (almost) endless!
We never race to get pitch our tipis. We take time to make sure that they are safe, secure and weatherproof.
What is your favourite design of marquee and why?
Out tipis, because they are just so beautiful.

Cumbernauld bowlers regain their place among Scotland's elite
Cumbernauld's championship-winning bowlers (pic by Michael Gillen)
Ian MacLean
Published: 12:55 Thursday 23 March 2017
Cumbernauld's indoor bowlers have bridged a 20-year gap by reclaiming their place in the Scottish Premier Divison for next season.
The club has clinched back to back promotions by adding the Division 1 title to the Division 2 crown they won in 2016 and will now play top-flight bowls for the first time since their relegation from the Premier Division in 1997.
The club's initial aim for the season was consolidation following their Division 2 title success.
But that had to be reassessed in a campaign which culminated with them clinching the championship thanks to a last-match win away to Auchinleck.
Team captain Dougie Geal said: "If we'd lost we'd have gone into a play-off situation and would have played the team coming down from the Premier, which was Aberdeen.
"But I've played in the team since 1990 and don't think I've played with a team that has a team spirit like that.
"It was a team that never knew they were beaten. We were over 30 shots down in an away game to Stirling at half-time and that's a lot to get back, and we won the game by five shots.
"It's not a team of superstars, but the bonding was brilliant, everybody got on. We've got guys in the team that are in their seventies and we've got young Robbie Hillis who's 15.
"Next year we'll playing against your Alex Marshalls and Paul Fosters and all the top players. It's the top league in Scotland and it's probably one of the best leagues in the world."
If there was one regret to the title triumph it was that former manager Harry Sarrison wasn't around to see it.
Dougie said: "Just after we'd won the Second Division Harry passed away.
"That was a real shocker to us because Harry had done everything for us and it was his inspiration that brought the team together.
"He never got to see us win the First Division but he'd have been over the moon."

"If there is not a cease-fire, the old city will fall within days," said Abu Rami al-Homsi.
Al-Homsi described many of the remaining rebels as starving, a reflection of the government's successful tactic of cutting off rebel-held areas from food supplies for months before offering to negotiate a cease-fire to allow some food aid in and much of the population to flee, and rebel units either to surrender or disperse.
The majority of the rebel fighters who remain in the old city appear to belong to al-Qaida's Syrian affiliate, the Nusra Front, and its radical rival, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. Despite fighting one another in eastern Syria, the groups remain battlefield allies in the western part of the country.

So you got these cool credit cards! Lots of nice reward benefits and cool pictures of you and your friends on the front of the card! Life is pretty good. Free money all around...or so you think.
Unfortunately, your thinking is wrong—unless you're paying off those cards in full each month. If you have a credit card (or multiple cards) and you carry balances on them, you're throwing your money away. You're paying a lot of money in high interest and you also may be hurting your credit.
But get this: If you can afford to pay interest on credit card debt, it's pretty obvious that you have money to put in a savings or investment account each month. If you pay 15% on your credit card debt each month, why not pay off those credit cards and then invest that 15% each month rather than throw it away?
List your cards & debt.
Make sure you list your cards so the one with the highest interest rate is on the top. Include the card's balance, the interest rate and the minimum payment for the card.
See if you qualify for a lower interest credit card(s).
Stay away from websites that promise to find you a card. Talk to your credit union. If you've been paying your credit cards on time, you may find that you can cut your interest rate a lot by just moving your balance to the credit union¹.
Figure out your minimum payments.
Add up all the minimum payments on the cards to figure out the minimum total payment that you have to make each month. (Keep in mind that by making just the minimum payment every month, you're not actually paying off the card, you're just paying interest. Plus, this might hurt your credit².
In order to quickly pay your debt off, you'll want to pay more than the minimum payments. Figure out your budget and see how much extra money you can put towards your credit card debt every month.
That's it! Keep in mind that this process takes time (a lot of time in some cases), but if you stick to this plan and keep making your monthly payments, you'll be able to turn yourself into an investor rather than a debt-ridden young adult.
Big tip: If you've also got a lot of other debt, and if you need help figuring out what to do, talk with someone at your credit union. Everybody makes mistakes at least once or twice in their life when it comes to money. But if you handle it smartly, it doesn't have to be a big deal.
Oddball Tips for Saving Money!
Well, that's just a few tips for now... Be sure to check out the other articles, too. We have tons of articles to help you with your money and to help get you out of—or keep you out of—trouble.
And please let me know if you have any questions about this stuff... There's always somebody at FoolProof around to help. Just shoot us an email.
¹ Credit unions usually have lower rates than most banks and other credit card companies. And that's not me talking—that's the Pew Trust talking. Here's what they said: "Credit unions offered significantly lower advertised rates compared to bank credit cards, with penalty fees that were half the cost of comparable bank fees and fewer dangers associated with 'unfair or deceptive' practices."
² And, believe it or not, if you owe more than 75% of your "credit limit" on any card, your credit will usually suffer. Even though the credit card company says you can charge more, other creditors usually think people who max out their card are greater credit risks than those who owe less than 75%—and they are right!

Karen Hughes to discuss CEOs of leadership on Oct. 3
Ambassador Karen Hughes – who currently serves as worldwide vice chair for Burson-Marsteller, a leading global public relations and communications firm – will discuss the CEOs of leadership on Oct. 3 as the fall 2013 Mary Louise Smith Chair in Women and Politics.
Before joining Burson-Marsteller in 2008, Hughes worked for more than 30 years in public administration, public policy and communications. She served as Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs with the rank of ambassador from 2005 to 2007. Hughes also served as counselor to President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2002.
Hughes will present "The CEOs of Leadership: Clarity, Example and Optimism" at noon on Thursday, Oct. 3, in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union. The presentation is free and open to the public.
"Ambassador Hughes is highly regarded as an energetic and engaged public speaker, especially on the topics of leadership and strategic communications," said Dianne Bystrom, director of the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics, which sponsors the Smith lecture series. "She recently was selected to serve as a resident fellow for the spring 2013 semester at Harvard University's Institute of Politics and enjoys sharing her experiences with young people."
At Burson-Marsteller, Hughes is a trusted counselor to corporate, nonprofit and political leaders and provides strategic communications, corporate positioning and messaging advice. She has worked with clients as diverse as AVON Products Inc., Ford, Johnson & Johnson, LIVESTRONG and the George W. Bush Presidential Center.
Hughes reached out on behalf of the United States to audiences across the world as Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs from 2005 to 2007. She dramatically reshaped the State Department's communications efforts, rebuilt an agency demoralized by years of budget cuts, launched a new focus on America's "diplomacy of deeds," and made public diplomacy central in the development of foreign policy.
As counselor to President Bush from 2001 to 2002, Hughes was a strategic adviser to the president on policy and communications and managed the White House offices of communications, media affairs, speechwriting and press secretary. When Hughes left the White House, the New York Times said: "The rule of thumb in any White House is that nobody is indispensable except the president. But Karen Hughes has come as close to that description as any recent presidential aide." The Associated Press called Hughes "perhaps the most influential woman ever to serve an American president."
Hughes began her career as a journalist, working as a television reporter for the NBC-affiliate KXAS-TV in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, from 1977 to 1984. She was the director of media relations for Halcyon Associates, a Dallas-based public relations firm, from 1987 to 1990. Hughes was executive director of the Texas Republican Party from 1992 to 1994 and served as a consultant and frequent spokesperson for the party throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s.
From 1995 to 1999, Hughes served as director of communications for then-Governor Bush and oversaw communications for his successful gubernatorial campaigns in 1994 and 1998. In 2000, she was communication director for Bush's successful presidential campaign and served as senior communications strategist on his 2004 campaign.
Hughes is a Phi Beta Kappa and summa cum laude graduate of Southern Methodist University, with a Bachelor of Arts in English and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Journalism. She is the author of "Ten Minutes From Normal," a memoir of her experiences working with President Bush and her decision to leave the White House to return with her family to Texas in 2002.
The Mary Louise Smith Chair in Women and Politics was established at Iowa State University in 1995 to honor the Iowa native and longtime political and civic leader. Smith – the first and only woman to chair the Republican National Committee – was a mentor, friend and role model to many in the world of politics and civic, government and community affairs.
The purpose of the chair is to bring nationally known political leaders, scholars and activists to Iowa State to enrich the experiences of students and educate citizens about the role of women in the political process. Hughes is the 24th woman leader to visit Iowa State through the sponsorship of the Smith chair.

»Dionysian imbalanced exaltation... from restless, mysterious meditation of strongly religious character to dizzying Dervish-like ecstasy« was how one newspaper critic described the 1927 premiere of Achron's Violin Concerto no. 1. In fact, Achron filled his Concerto with biblical cantillation melodies that have roots in Jewish antiquity. Mysterious legends of the past and biblical stories also inspired him to create exotic orchestral tone poems based on the Golem of Prague and Belshazzar's Feast. All of these works are recorded here for the first time.

One of the most popular school snacks for kids is cheese, especially cheese in fun shapes! This month's nutrition faceoff compares two kid-friendly packaged cheese products made by the same company, The Laughing Cow.
than the Original Creamy Swiss wedges. Although made by the same company, these are two different products. Mini Babybel is what you would expect cheese to be made of: milk, bacterial culture and enzymes, and salt. Original Creamy Swiss is a processed cheese product that contains some cheese but also other food additives such as anhydrous milk fat, sodium phosphate (emulsifier), and sodium citrate.
If you want cheese, get the real thing. Processed cheese tends to contain less milk but more additives and sodium.

After putting A JBE set into my Rickenbacker bass (outstanding replacement), I was inspired to put this P/J set in a new semi custom fretless build. They sound phenomenal and have quite a broad tonal range depending on your setting. My only complaint is that the sides of the pickups are open and vulnerable to sweat and aren't the most comfortable rest for a thumb. This great pickup set could be improved.
It's been almost a year since installing a white set of Nashville Modern T pickups in a white Tele. (a cool option and they're gorgeous) I've got 2 other Nash. Teles with other well known pickups installed. The JBEs have more everything to my ear. Playing nuances are more discernible and I love the fidelity. The chime from the neck/middle position is really superior and I find I use it more than the bridge/middle setting.
All I can say is, "WOW". I was skeptical, but these JBE Jazzmaster Two/Tone pickups do exactly what they're advertised to do: in humbucking mode, they're nice and toasty, and overdrive SO nicely. Split the coils, and you have classic Jazzmaster tone. But with one huge improvement: *NO* noise. I can't say enough, and will recommend JBE until the end of time.
. Man oh man I love these pickups. Had an ole friend stop by. Had my Tele straight in to my '63 Vibroverb (my workhorse). Handed him the guitar. He played for five or six minutes. Looks over at me with the biggest smile. Why would you need anything else. Uh huh...I said. Twangalisious. A very grateful owner.
After years bonding with the Gatton pickups on a Tele, I decided to put together a Warmoth tele style, but using HB Two/Tones. I was hoping to get the classic tele sound and also the ability to get PAF sounds at the push of a switch. These pickups can do this with NO compromise. I've tried other coil splitting humbuckers and the split tones have always been less than satisfying. This being my first build, and being that each two/tone has 6 conductors I was pretty confused as a first timer. Let me say that Frank was amazing in walking me through this. He was patient and generous with his time and encouraged me through this project. I had many questions along the way and he took the time to reply very thoughtfully and specific to my build. I wanted to learn how to do this and was glad I didn't get the "just bring it to a guitar tech" response. Also thanks to Frank. My knowledge is now deeper and I'll be more self sufficient next time. Couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you!
I've tried most of the noiseless SC sized offerings out there and thought I finally found what I was looking for in the Kinmans. Rather than wait 3 weeks again on a set of Kinmans from the Philippines, and deal with all the online hassle of dealing with them (another story), I decided to go with JBE for my Tyler S-style. I'd already heard so much about them and appreciated the different design. Plus, I can get them here in the USA with ease. To my ears, these easily beat out any of the Kinman Strat offerings I've tried up to Kinman Big 9-O.
The JBE's are clean & glassy-clear, yet tight, punchy, ballsy, without being to dark or strident. Still very "Stratty" on the in between positions, plenty of bark and bite in the middle & bridge positions. ALL DEAD SILENT-NO HUM!!!!!!!
Accept no substitutes. These are the real deal!
Absolutely loving the sound and feel of my Modern Tele Set! My installation was a little unusual, and after emailing Frank, he called me and walked me through what I needed to do. Above and beyond. I already knew how good they sound, and equally important, how good they feel and respond. I already had JBEs on another guitar. Highly, highly recommended.
thanks for the great pickups and service, they sound great and no noise. ill buy more for my other basses!!!!!!!!
Best Pickups on The Planet!
This is my 3rd JBE pickup purchase and couldn't be more pleased. For me, it's nothing but JBE pickups in my guitars. Nothing compares to their versatility in playing country, rockabilly, and rock. Their sound is OUSTANDING...... and QUIET!! When I purchase my Stratocaster a set of JBE's was definitely in order immediately.
Have JBE Gatton's in my Telecaster, and Soap Bars in my Gibson Melody Maker.
