I would love a feature where I can block a phone number. I have a teenage daughter and I am assuming the calls are for her she as told them not to call anymore but this has not worked I would love to be able to just block the calls.
Please add this feature. We somehow got on a fax line data base and our phone number is our house number. We get calls at all hours. We just end up leaving the phone off the hook to stop the ringing.
Feature wish: Call block for numbers we update the list with.
The great Orange Mother Ship needs to add these features caller I.D. on or off and capability of blocking a specific phone number. With their technology this should not be too difficut to come up with something and for those who desire these features, charge a modest fee to be able to do so.
I am a new Vonage customer and satisfied with everything except the **puzzling** lack of a selective call blocking feature. Even my ancient Sprint PCS phone had this in 1999. Looking back through the forums, customers have been requesting over and over and over for selective call blocking since as early as 2004. So we are going on 5 years now and still no possibility of this no-brainer of a feature???
Please add this feature now! It's basic!
Tech support can do it upon request. How difficult would it be to put it on a web form?? How many calls would it eliminate to their Help Desk? Seems like this tiny software development project would pay for itself.
Sinless1, have you actually had tech support set this up for you?
This call will get forwarded to your call forwarding number. Use this so important calls always to go your cell phone while other calls continue to ring on your VoicePulse phone.
This call will always ring your phone. Use this in combination with Do Not Disturb to block all calls from work on your day off, but let your friends' calls still get through.
This call will always go straight to voicemail.
This caller will always hear a busy signal!
This caller will hear a message stating that your number is "no longer in service"!
I used the Not In Service option frequently on political calls and donation calls.
Vonage, if a smaller competitor like Voice Pulse can add this feature, why can't you? Do you want us all the have to change to Voice Pulse?
AS you think, that possible is too many people is think about your thinking way.
when too many people apply this type terminology, at that time the system can't generate alll the system code for each every person at all time.
So, you have no way to every time dial for any call at any time.
I know it is difficult for you but it is necessary .
Vonage not having this feature is pretty darn lame when other Voip providers include it. It's a major negative for me and I should not have to consider a $100 device like the Caller ID Manager to gain peace and quiet on my own telephone.
wow this suggestion is great.. we cant deny the fact that there are sometimes stalker who are not satisfied by just following so go on calling and calling... if we will be able to block numbers then this will be solved..
And it's because Vonage does not offer selective call block!
1. Vonage now has the largest share of Voip customers, numbering in the millions.
Now you KNOW why this feature is not added, and especially not added for FREE!!
Vonage would never be able to squeeze that kind of revenue out of it's customers.

Bethel homeless shelter searches for new home before winter
Posted: Sat 1:54 PM, Oct 07, 2017
BETHEL, Alaska (AP) A homeless shelter in Bethel is searching for a new facility before the arrival of winter, which can be deadly for the homeless population in Alaska.
KYUK-AM reported on Friday that the Winter House has located an emergency location, but program officials say the spot is less than ideal as they're seeking a more permanent facility somewhere in the city's downtown.
The shelter previously rented space form the Salvation Army, but its outpost closed earlier this year causing the shelter to lose its home.
Shelter President Jon Cochrane says he and other board members are reaching out to local government officials and community leaders for help in locating a space.
Cochrane says the shelter plans to find a way to open by December.

V. M. Jenkins's Newly Released "On That Day" Is a Hilarious Story of a Spirited Young Girl New to Homeschooling Who Attends Her Brother's Bible Study With Mixed Results.
"On That Day" from Christian Faith Publishing author V. M. Jenkins is a charming novel following sixteen-year-old Haven Jennings, a witty and worldly girl who warily enters homeschooling after a life in the public school system—until one day, attending her gifted brother Delbert's early morning Bible study, she meets the new boy Aaron and attempts to strike up a friendship with him, not realizing just yet what God has in store.
"On That Day": a lively story of a homeschooled girl who attends a Bible study full of colorful characters. "On That Day" is the creation of published author V. M. Jenkins, a former special education teacher and proponent of homeschooling who lives in Fort Smith, Arkansas, with her husband and three children.
Jenkins sets the mood perfectly for her character's introduction: "The obnoxious fairy ding went off on my phone to let me know that the time was now around seven-thirty in the morning. My Wednesday friend Kate sent her usual good morning message to me, in nature-loving form. The text read, 'Get up and enjoy the world, because the roses are waiting!' I turned over face down on my pillow, grabbed its sides, and pulled them up on my ears. It didn't help, because the guilt of the text was driving me insane.
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, V. M. Jenkins's new book is a vastly entertaining read that brings the reader right smack into Haven's unique homeschooling world and the memorable characters she deals with on a daily basis.
View a synopsis of "On That Day" on YouTube.
Consumers can purchase "On That Day" at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.
For additional information or inquiries about "On That Day", contact the Christian Faith Publishing media department at 866-554-0919.


Scotland is a small country with an efficient road, rail and ferry network, so getting around is pretty straightforward.
European hubs such as Paris, Frankfurt and Amsterdam. Please be aware that Scottish Highland Trails does not sell air travel, so please contact your local travel agent or search online for up to date information on routes and fares.
Rail services in the central area of Scotland and between major cities is good. In remote parts of the Highlands and in southern Scotland the network is patchy at best and at worst non-existent. Scottish Highland Trails can provide you with rail tickets and information on rail journeys and passes throughout Scotland as part of your package. And if you want to see the country entirely by rail we can create a tour to suit.
The railway service between Edinburgh & Glasgow and London is very good with regular trains (approximately every half hour). The journey time is around four and a half hours. If you wish to combine a stay in London with your tour of Scotland this is probably the easiest way to journey between Scotland and the English capital.
We have a good road network and it is easy to get around by car. Scottish Highland Trails can of course arrange car rental to suit your needs. One of our representatives will accompany you when you collect your rental car and be on hand to offer advice and perhaps a bit of practice driving on the left. We will also provide you with driving directions and relevant maps for your tour route. Driving in more remote areas might not exactly be what you are used to – some roads are "single track" with passing places. All part of your Scottish adventure! For those of you still not convinced about driving on the "wrong" side of the road, why not enquire about our chauffeur drive tours?
Bus services are plentiful and link all major towns and cities, and many smaller towns and villages too. Areas not served by train (southern and northern Scotland) are usually well served by bus. Travelling by bus is usually cheaper than travelling by rail. Again we can advise you on bus routes throughout Scotland.
Scotland has over 790 islands, of which only around 95 are inhabited. Ferries are therefore a common mode of transport and you will likely travel on a ferry at some point on your tour of Scotland. Most ferries will take vehicles although some smaller routes are passenger only. Scottish Highland Trails can provide information and tickets for all necessary ferry travel as part of your Scotland tour package.
You can fly to Dublin, Shannon and Cork from various Scottish airports. Airlines operating the routes include Aer Lingus and RyanAir. There is no ferry service to southern Ireland from Scotland however there are ferries from various ports on the west coast of Scotland to Belfast and Larne in Northern Ireland.

Composer: Hans Magne Græsvold
Instrument: Percussion Ensemble
In some of my compositions I have used material from Norwegian folk music, especially music from Setesdal. Ludus belongs to that category. Here I use motives from Bjørnaraa-tona, a vocal melody (´stev´), and three walking dances - a type of dance called ´gangar´. The dances are named after three places in the valley: Sordølen, Flatelanden and Hovstaden. That is also true to Bjørnaraa, introduced in the middle of the composition. The folk music from Setesdal was performed on hardanger-fiddle, the national instrument of Norway, but I hope Ludus will show us that marimba also is well suited for that type of music.
Ludus is written for Brian Zator, Jonathan Ovalle, Matthew Coley and Eugene Koshinski.
Marimba Quartet
Hans Magne Græsvold was born in Vennesla near Kristiansand, Norway in 1936. He started playing the flute at the age of 7 and received his education in composition and flute at the Oslo Conservatory of Music and the University of Oslo. He made his debut as a flautist in Kristiansand in 1958 and in Oslo in 1962. After completing his Master`s degree in Music he became Assistant Professor at the University of Trondheim in 1963 where he remained until 1973. His main subjects were music history, composition, harmony and flute. In 1973 he moved back to the south and took up a similar position at the Agder Conservatory of Music in Kristiansand (from 2007 Agder University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Music). In addition to his teaching Græsvold has contributed many articles to several scientific publications. In 1986 he was the editor of Edvard Grieg´s Vocal compositions with Orchestra, published by Peters in 1986, and in 1999 he co-edited with Terje Mathisen an edition of the songs of Sigurd Lie. Very little of this talented composer`s work has been published and Græsvold and Mathisen continue to edit and publish his compositions for choir, orchestra and ensembles.
As a composer Græsvold was initially influenced by Norwegian folk music, but later took inspiration from European composers especially Bartok, Schoenberg and Messiaen. His music includes several orchestral works (amongst them a flute concerto and a clarinet concerto) and chamber music (3 piano duos, 2 string quartets, 1 quartet for flute & strings, 2 sonatas for flute and piano, a suite for violin & piano, 1 piano sonatina and 1 guitar sonatina). In addition to several single movements for piano, guitar, flute, violin, cello, accordion, organ and 30 romances, Græsvold has also made several contributions to church music with his 3 cantatas, 2 masses and 30 motets. In addition he has made a large number of arrangements for different ensembles. He is a member of the Norwegian Society of Composers.
In 2007 Græsvold was awarded the Kings`s Order of Merit in gold as an acknowledgement for his work as a musician and composer.
Review (Percussive Notes, July 2014)
Folk music of the Setesdal valley of southern Norway is traditionally played on the hardanger fiddle, the national instrument of Norway, but here is scored quite successfully for marimba (the national instrument of Guatemala), in a charming, eight-minute quartet. Setesdal motives from vocal melody and instrumental dances are skillfully interwoven, with the resulting individual marimba parts surprisingly equal in both technical demand and musical prominence. Four mallets are required in each part for a few block chords, but the majority of the writing is in rapid, single-voice lines sprinkled with grace notes, and bursting with rollicking good humor and energy. I will definitely be programming this piece in the near future!

He'd Wanted to Be a History Teacher
May 29, 2008 janevangalen
He'd wanted to be a history teacher, but that never did happen.
He fell too hard and too early in love, stayed close to the grandparents who had raised him. He fell hard again for his two young sons, and again later, for my sister's daughters, and most of all perhaps, for the daughter that they raised together.
Every Christmas, he donned the ratty Santa Claus suit for whichever toddlers were still willing to fall for it. Every summer, he presided over the grill. He loved the Packers. Only two years older than me, he bled love for his eight grandchildren and they loved him.
He'd wanted to be a history teacher, but that never did happen. He met my sister when she was just starting her late run at college, juggling one course at a time with working and loving her children.
And he worked: long hours, exhausting jobs.
Soon, he often said, he'd be able to back off: when the child support payments ended, when the kids' weddings were paid for, when my sister's new-found zeal for learning was finally sated, when the kid currently in crisis found her way through it.
A year ago, he and my sister finally packed up the truck and moved away from our home town, middle-aged pilgrims in search of a quiet piece of land and a life less defined by obligation. In part, my sister's new degrees made dreaming possible; in part, they had decided that it was now or never.
And still, he worked long hours in exhausting jobs. There were setbacks, unexpected struggles, and some of that was just starting to turn around.
"He was just starting to dream again", my sister told me this morning on the phone. He'd worked 16 hours last Friday, and then over the long weekend, hauled rocks on that new piece of land, creating a grove for his new hammock, a place he'd imagined spending his Sundays this summer.
But my phone rang way too early this morning. It was my niece.
He'd called my sister at 5:00 last night to say that he'd knock off a little early.
And shortly after that, the machinery that had, until that moment, been wearing down his body one muscle fiber at time, tipped.
He'd just started to dream again. Not dreams this time of being a history teacher, but of evenings at home, of standing without pain, of weekends floating on a river, of a life less burdened by bills.
But for him now, those things never will happen.

My Duke's Seduction (Wicked Lords of London, #1) 4.9 out of 5 based on 0 ratings. 8 reviews.
This a lovely quick story that is a great start to a new series. Their first meeting was very different and led to a mystery that I couldn't figure out and a whirlwind romance. I loved how they were with each other from the moment they met. They were perfect for each other. This story will hook you on wanting to know what else will happen in the series. Tricia is on a mission and no one will stop her. I loved that she was the quiet daughter but quickly showed her true colors. She thought she knew exactly what she wanted to do in her life. I loved her from the start because she didn't run from anything. Ryker is a mysterious man that keeps to himself and does a great job at finding people. He quickly made his mind up about her and would do anything to protect her. I loved him right away because he is not the typical Duke.
My Duke's Seduction (Wicked Lords of London Book 1) by Tammy Andresen is an exciting new series by this talented author. A novella, only approximately 114 pages, but the author conveys alot in these pages Well written story with intrigue, a romance, danger. wit, a bit of humor and a HEA. Steady paced, sweet romance, that will keep the reader turning pages. I was captivated my the characters and the plot of MY DUKE'S SEDUCTION. A new series with cross-over characters and what promises to be a great Regency Romance. Another well developed and thought out story. Ms. Andresen offers her readers so mych mych than great characters, but also great, seductive storylines. Another great Regency Romance from Tammy Andresen.
Desperate times call for desperate measures and Lady Tricia Riley's family was desperate. Throwing caution to the wind, she broke all of society's rules by secretly journeying to a rough and seedy area, the docklands. When the native ne'er-do-wells find easy prey, Lady Tricia is rescued by a tall, dark and handsome gentleman in a most gallant and rather swoon worthy way. Ryker Pembroke, Duke of Landon wasn't planning on rescuing a cultured young woman amidst the opium dens of the docklands any more than he was planning on thinking of marriage, at least not now. He also wasn't planning on every having to see her again, but there was just "something" about her. Tricia was innocent, yet determined, warm, caring, everything he definitely didn't need at the moment, and yet… Tammy Andresen has done it again! MY DUKE'S SEDUCTION is another fun, fast and sweetly spicy historical romance where two souls cannot avoid the inevitable as once again, Fate steps in and plays cupid in the most delightful way! Tricia isn't looking for a husband to control her life. She has her own plans and goals. Ryker will marry when he has to, to procure the expected heir. No one can predict if and when love arrives, and for these two, it arrives with a bang that will leave readers smiling! I truly enjoy Ms. Andresen's romantic tales! They are filled with humor, a little daring and always, always the most delightful characters and situations!
Charming! My Duke's Seduction by Tammy Andresen is book 1 in the Wicked Lords Of Love series and what a way to begin a series! I loved this story and Tammy has such a wonderful way of bringing her characters to life plus so visual. This is an easy to read story and I read it in one sitting. The story has theft, kidnapping, fights, bravery, kindness, caring, sharp tongues, love of family, stealing, protectiveness, an auction, greed, scandal and of course love. I highly recommend this book and any of Tammy Andresen's books, they are truly wonderful! Travel back to 1816 London, England with Lady Tricia Riley and Ryker The Duke of Landon. ***This book was gifted to me and I am voluntarily reviewing.

Cistercian architecture is a style of architecture associated with the churches, monasteries and abbeys of the Roman Catholic Cistercian Order. It was heavily influenced by Abbot Bernard of Clairvaux (d. 1153), who believed that churches should avoid superfluous ornamentation so as not to distract from prayer. Cistercian architecture was simple and utilitarian. Although a few images of religious subjects were allowed, such as the crucifix, elaborate figures common in medieval churches were prohibited. Bernard noted their capacity for distracting monks in a famous letter. Early Cistercian architecture shows a transition between Romanesque and Gothic architecture. Later abbeys were constructed in Renaissance and Baroque styles, which were more ornate by nature.

In terms of construction, buildings were made where possible of smooth, pale, stone. Columns, pillars and windows fell at the same base level, and if plastering was done at all, it was kept extremely simple. The sanctuary kept a simple style of proportion of 1:2 at both elevation and floor levels. To maintain the appearance of ecclesiastical buildings, Cistercian sites were constructed in a pure, rational style; and may be counted among the most beautiful relics of the Middle Ages.

Most Cistercian abbeys and churches were built in remote valleys far from cities and populated areas; the isolation and a need for self-sustainability bred innovativeness among the Cistercians.  Many Cistercian settlements display early examples of hydraulic engineering and waterwheels.  After stone, the two most important building materials were wood and metal.  The Cistercians were also skilled metallurgists, and their skill with metal has been associated directly with the development of Cistercian architecture and the spread of Gothic architecture as a whole.

Theological principles

In the mid-12th century, one of the leading churchmen of his day, the Benedictine Abbot Suger of Saint-Denis, united elements of Norman architecture with elements of Burgundian architecture (rib vaults and pointed arches respectively), leading to what was later termed Gothic architecture.  This "architecture of light" was intended to raise the observer "from the material to the immaterial" – it was, according to the 20th century historian Georges Duby, a "monument of applied theology". In order to achieve such moving effects, the interiors of many religious buildings were designed to be witnessed at specific times of the day such as sunrise and sunset.  St Bernard saw much of church decoration as a distraction from piety, and in one of his letters he condemned the more vigorous forms of early 12th century decoration:

These sentiments were repeated frequently throughout the Middle Ages, and the builders of the Cistercian monasteries had to adopt a style that observed the numerous rules inspired by Bernard's austere aesthetics. However, the order itself was receptive to the technical improvements of Gothic principles of construction and played an important role in its spread across Europe.

This new Cistercian architecture embodied the ideals of the order, and was in theory at least utilitarian and without superfluous ornament.  The same "rational, integrated scheme" was used across Europe to meet the largely homogeneous needs of the order, along with similar prescriptions for liturgy and music.  Various buildings, including the chapter-house to the east and the dormitories above, were grouped around a cloister, and were sometimes linked to the transept of the church itself by a night stair.  Usually Cistercian churches were cruciform, with a short presbytery to meet the liturgical needs of the brethren, small chapels in the transepts for private prayer, and an aisled nave that was divided roughly in the middle by a screen to separate the monks from the lay brothers.

The mother house of the order, Cîteaux Abbey, had in fact developed the most advanced style of painting, at least in illuminated manuscripts, during the first decades of the 12th century, playing an important part in the development of the image of the Tree of Jesse.  However, Bernard of Clairvaux quickly gained influence in the order. Since he was averse to imagery, painting ceased and was finally banned altogether, probably from the revised rules approved in 1154.  Crucifixes were allowed, and later some painting and decoration crept back in.

Recently, it has been shown that the "austere" architecture of the so-called "Bernardine plan" is not really by Bernard at all but is better thought of as "the classic Cistercian plan," a compromise plan of lower ascetic standards, aimed at broader institutional acceptance.

Construction

The building projects of the Church in the High Middle Ages showed an ambition for the colossal, with vast amounts of stone being quarried, and the same was true of the Cistercian projects. Foigny Abbey was  long, and Vaucelles Abbey was  long. Monastic buildings came to be constructed entirely of stone, right down to the most humble of buildings. In the 12th and 13th centuries, Cistercian barns consisted of a stone exterior, divided into nave and aisles either by wooden posts or by stone piers.

The Cistercians acquired a reputation in the difficult task of administering the building sites for abbeys and cathedrals. St Bernard's own brother, Achard, is known to have supervised the construction of many abbeys, such as Himmerod Abbey in the Rhineland. Others were Raoul at Saint-Jouin-de-Marnes, who later became abbot there; Geoffrey d'Aignay, sent to Fountains Abbey in 1133; and Robert, sent to Mellifont Abbey in 1142. On one occasion the Abbot of La Trinité at Vendôme loaned a monk named John to the Bishop of Le Mans, Hildebert de Lavardin, for the building of a cathedral; after the project was completed, John refused to return to his monastery.

The Cistercians "made it a point of honour to recruit the best stonecutters", and as early as 1133, St Bernard was hiring workers to help the monks erect new buildings at Clairvaux. It is from the 12th-century Byland Abbey in Yorkshire that the oldest recorded example of architectural tracing is found. Tracings were architectural drawings incised and painted in stone, to a depth of 2–3 mm, showing architectural detail to scale. The first tracing in Byland illustrates a west rose window, while the second depicts the central part of that same window. Later, an (idealized) illustration from the latter half of the 16th century showed monks working alongside other craftsmen in the construction of Schönau Abbey.

Because of the variety found in Cistercian communities, historian Marcel Aubert concluded that, while there was a Cistercian spirit in architecture, there was never a Cistercian architectural style.

Engineering

The Cistercian order was quite innovative in developing techniques of hydraulic engineering for monasteries established in remote valleys.  In Spain, one of the earliest surviving Cistercian houses, the Real Monasterio de Nuestra Senora de Rueda in Aragon, is a good example of such early hydraulic engineering, using a large waterwheel for power and an elaborate water circulation system for central heating.  Much of this practicality in Cistercian architecture, and indeed in the construction itself, was made possible by the order's own technological inventiveness.  The Cistercians are known to have been skilled metallurgists, and as the historian Alain Erlande-Brandenburg writes:

Much of the progress of architecture depended on the mastery of metal, from its extraction to the cutting of the stone, especially in relation to the quality of the metal tools used in construction.  Metal was also used extensively by Gothic architects from the 12th century on, in tie rods across arches and later in the reinforced stone of the Rayonnant style.  The other building material, wood, was in short supply after the drastic deforestation of the 10th and 11th centuries.  The Cistercians acted with particular care in the careful management and conservation of their forests.

Legacy

The Cistercian abbeys of Fontenay in France, Fountains in England, Alcobaça in Portugal,  Poblet in Spain and Maulbronn in Germany are today recognised as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The abbeys of France and England are fine examples of Romanesque and Gothic architecture.  The architecture of Fontenay has been described as "an excellent illustration of the ideal of self-sufficiency" practised by the earliest Cistercian communities.  The abbeys of 12th century England were stark and undecorated – a dramatic contrast with the elaborate churches of the wealthier Benedictine houses – yet to quote Warren Hollister, "even now the simple beauty of Cistercian ruins such as Fountains and Rievaulx, set in the wilderness of Yorkshire, is deeply moving".

In the purity of architectural style, the beauty of materials and the care with which the Alcobaça Monastery was built, Portugal possesses one of the most outstanding and best preserved examples of Early Gothic.  Poblet Monastery, one of the largest in Spain, is considered similarly impressive for its austerity, majesty, and the fortified royal residence within.

The fortified Maulbronn Abbey in Germany is considered "the most complete and best-preserved medieval monastic complex north of the Alps". The Transitional Gothic style of its church had a major influence in the spread of Gothic architecture over much of northern and central Europe, and the abbey's elaborate network of drains, irrigation canals and reservoirs has since been recognised as having "exceptional" cultural interest.

In Poland, the former Cistercian monastery of Pelplin Cathedral is an important example of Brick Gothic. Wąchock abbey is one of the most valuable examples of Polish Romanesque architecture. The largest Cistercian complex, the Abbatia Lubensis (Lubiąż, Poland), is a masterpiece of baroque architecture and the second largest Christian architectural complex in the world.

We had a very hot summer and somehow the whole month of September my chilli plants were producing a lot of fruits.
I got quite creative in order to use them ;-).
This is a spicy Jam that I did to serve with a nice cheese platter.
Defreeze the apricots and clean the habanero from seeds and placenta.
Put the chillies, the apricots, the ginger and the lime juice in a blender until you have a nice creamy consistency.
Heat a pot and the mix and the gelling sugar mix and let cook for some minutes. The instructions on the gelling sugar only require 3 minutes, I left it cook for about 20 minutes.
Ready to put in sterilized jars and cool down.

Madison – The Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA has received a 2019 Community First Award from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLBank Chicago) for its financing of the Five Phases of King Drive Commons in Milwaukee.
The annual awards recognize FHLBank Chicago member institutions (i.e. WHEDA) and local partners for their work in building and strengthening communities.
In 2001, under the leadership of the late Welford Sanders, the Martin Luther King Economic Development Corporation (MLKEDC) undertook a neighborhood planning effort in Milwaukee. The focus of "King Drive Commons" was to address one of the most blighted areas in the Harambee neighborhood on Dr. Martin Luther King Drive with new developments providing exceptional affordable housing options in an incremental and concentrated effort.
The fifth and final phase of the "King Drive" Commons, Welford Sanders Lofts, is a 59-unit loft-style housing development that also includes a 38,000 square foot job center with tenants that address barriers to employment, job training and recidivism.
WHEDA's award was in the Partnership category that recognizes the collective, ongoing efforts of a multidisciplinary team of stakeholders to make positive and long-lasting impacts. MLKEDC also won a Community First Award in the same category and in addition will receive $10,000 to direct to a nonprofit organization of their choice.
The awards were presented at a regional meeting of FHLBank Chicago in Madison, Wisconsin, on April 5, 2019.
For over 45 years, WHEDA, as an independent state authority, has provided low-cost financing for housing and small business development in Wisconsin. Since 1972, WHEDA has financed more than 73,000 rental units, helped more than 129,600 families purchase a home and made more than 29,000 small business and agricultural loan guarantees.

G'day from Sydney!
Welcome to RØDE Microphones - a uniquely Australian owned and operated audio company. Our home is in beautiful Sydney, just 20km west of Sydney's downtown area and right near the home of the Sydney 2000 Olympics.
Comprising three warehouses with a total footprint of over 110,000 square feet, the RØDE state-of-the-art plant has over 60 million dollars in precision machinery and an international team of more than 250 people across highly skilled disciplines: electronics engineering, industrial design, technical engineering, robotics, audio and acoustics engineering, metal production, toolmaking, injection-mould technology, logistics, assembly, quality control, finance, marketing and sales.
As well as our main campus in Sydney, we have offices in Los Angeles, New York, London, Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Seoul. Our extensive distributor and 6000-strong storefront network ensures RØDE Microphones are sold in 117 countries – and growing – making RØDE a truly global company.
2017 marked the 50th anniversary of the parent company Freedman Electronics' formation, a remarkable milestone in modern business. Today, The Freedman Group is home to RØDE Microphones, Aphex, Event Electronics and SoundField.
The story of RØDE

The Doors Open
Freedman Electronics began in 1967 when Henry and Astrid Freedman opened shop after migrating to Australia from Sweden.
Freedman Electronics soon became a leader in the fledgling Australian audio industry, becoming experts in loudspeakers, amplifiers and custom electronics as well as dabbling in the odd microphone.
Freedman Electronics was also the first company in Australia to carry Dynacord consoles which gained fame in Australia whilst Henry sat behind the desk mixing a young Tom Jones during his 1968 tour of Australia.

The Birth of RØDE
With the technological advancement and relative low cost of gear for the home recording enthusiast hitting new heights in the 1990s, the stage was set for the entry of a low-cost, high-quality microphone.
Having sourced a microphone from China and tested the market in Australia, Henry's son Peter Freedman and RØDE began creating the infrastructure to design, build and manufacture microphones in Australia.
Soon the entirely Australian designed, built and manufactured RØDE NT2 began to roll off the production line and start the amazing journey that has seen RØDE revolutionise how people record audio every day, all around the world.

Unlike most competitors, precision metal machining is performed in-house at RØDE, guaranteeing quality and efficiency.
Manufacturing Success
RØDE has always had technology and precision manufacturing at the core of its values.
In a decision that is at odds with received wisdom, the 2000s saw RØDE invest heavily in the latest machinery and technology to produce world-class microphones across all categories at accessible prices, in Australia.
This investment in the machines of manufacture continues, and now includes the electronics, plastics and metals that make RØDE microphones revered around the world.

Right: Above: The Engel Victory 1600 is just one of the several prestige plastic injection machines on campus.
On-camera Dominance
Early in the 2000s, Peter created an on-camera microphone so he could get decent audio of his son's rugby matches. The RØDE VideoMic became a bestseller in 2008 as DSLR cameras became capable of producing cinema-quality video.
RØDE's extensive range of on-camera microphones and accessories are the number one microphones in the category in the world. Like the NT2 in the early 1990s, this was another example of RØDE making professional quality audio products available to a new generation of creators.
From its humble beginning as a storefront in 1967, Freedman Electronics has become the home to four powerhouse pro audio brands: Aphex, Event Electronics, SoundField and, of course, RØDE Microphones.
Across music recording and performance, broadcast, filmmaking, newsgathering and wireless, RØDE has become the go-to microphone and, along the way, a global powerhouse in pro audio.
Over the years RØDE has been recognised as an industry leader in design and business, earning numerous Red Dot awards, Australian International Design awards and the Australian Manufacturing Exporter of the year for 2013.
RØDE Founder Peter Freedman accepts the Order of Australia from the Governor of NSW, His Excellency General The Honourable David Hurley AC DSC
In 2016, Founder & Chairman Peter Freedman was awarded the Order of Australia for services to export and philanthropy in the arts.
Peter Freedman AM and the Prime Minister of Australia, The Hon Malcolm Turnbull MP at the Silverwater HQ, February 2017
In February 2017, the Prime Minister of Australia, The Hon Malcolm Turnbull MP, visited the Silverwater campus and paid homage to RØDE's success and anniversary, saying, "RØDE Microphones are legend… they are the best in the world. It's an extraordinary story."
To celebrate the milestone, RØDE produced the commemorative book, RØDE TRIP Street Side to Worldwide: Inside 50 Years of Freedman Electronics and RØDE Microphones.
RØDE will continue to innovate, to create new products and categories, to improve production and service, and, ultimately, to inspire millions to realise their creative vision with cutting edge, precision-quality, accessible microphones and accessories.
From Sydney, Australia and now every city in the world, Welcome to RØDE.


Landscape-scale variation in coral reef community structure in the United States Virgin Islands.
This study provides a spatial context to a temporal analysis of community structure on shallow reefs along the south shore of St. John, US Virgin Islands. By focusing on 12 to 14 sites stratified by depth (similar to 10 m) and distributed along the shores of St. John and St. Thomas, surveys in 2011 were used to explore scale-dependency in coral reef community structure by testing for effects of islands, shores (north versus south), and interactions between these 2 factors. Reefs were censused using photoquadrats that were analyzed for percentage cover, first by functional groups (coral, macroalgae, and a combined category [CTB] of crustose coralline algae, algal turf, and bare space) and then by coral genus. Multivariate analyses revealed no differences in coral reef community structure between islands or shores, although reefs differed among sites. Univariate analyses by functional group also revealed differences among sites and 1.9-fold higher coral cover around St. Thomas compared to St. John; there were no differences between shores. The common coral genera displayed unique patterns of variation among sites, with the cover of Orbicella, Montastraea, Porites, and Agaricia differing among sites but not between islands or shores, and the cover of Siderastrea differing between islands in a pattern that varied between shores. Overall, variation among sites in coral reef community structure that overwhelmed differences between islands and shores focuses attention on the importance of testing for mechanisms creating variation at this spatial scale. The present results suggest that priority effects in community succession may represent one mechanism worthy of investigation.

Storm prepare for United Conference Championship
by: Grant Sweeter
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — The Storm opened the IFL playoffs with a 50-47 win over Tucson last Sunday, and now turn their attention to defending United Bowl champion Iowa.
The Storm earned a first-round win over Tucson, but allowed 47 points and failed to secure a turnover, which head coach Kurtiss Riggs sees as an issue at this stage of the season.
"We've got to find ways to create turnovers. We need to get extra possessions and that's really the difference in these big games that we have coming up," Storm Head Coach Kurtiss Riggs said.
Sioux Falls will play at Iowa in the United Conference championship game. The Storm and Barnstormers split during the regular season, with each team winning on its home turf. Sioux Falls suffered a 55-43 loss at Iowa in early June, allowing four touchdowns of at least 25 yards.
"Definitely got to make them earn their touchdowns, not one or two plays, it has to be six, seven, eight play drives if they score, so be it. Turnovers will be big, we just got out of a meeting and we talked about it. The team that wins the turnover battle in this game, will probably win the football game," Storm Defensive Coordinator Brian Hermanson said.
Another key to victory is slowing Iowa quarterback Daquan Neal, who leads the IFL with 59 passing touchdowns and stands second with more than 26-hundred passing yards.
"You know they have a really good quarterback and we've got to find ways to pressure him. He doesn't throw it in bad situations very often and so we've got to try to force him into some bad situations, got to try to strip the ball, got to find ways to get turnovers," Riggs said.
After winning six straight IFL championships, the Storm have lost back-to-back United Bowls, but remain confident in their abilities.
"I mean our guys know what they come here for. We're right where the goal was to make it to the championship game and win a championship, bring it back to where it should be at and this is another step in that direction," Storm Quarterback Lorenzo Brown Jr. said.
The Storm and Barnstormers cross paths Saturday night in Des Moines. Kickoff is set for 7:05.

Go on, put out a bird feeder or two, and you will see different kinds of birds coming to your yard. I was a bit more active in feeding them this year, and my spent money brought me more joy than I could ever imagine.
After the rain, this chickadee came to my feeder for a visit. I had plenty of seeds in there to attract different birds and so far the blue jays, cardinals, sparrows, crows, starlings, white crowned sparrows, doves, and this chickadee were all enjoying the feast.
At first I thought this was just another sparrow until I paid attention to the noise it made when hovering around. It has a very different song, so I began my stalking :-) I set up a lawn chair a bit further away from the feeder, and soon enough, I was rewarded!
I am hoping to get a photo of a hummingbird. I thought I had one but it ended up be the humingbird clear wing, a moth. It really moved like a hummingbird... Thanks for visiting.
I love the cute chickadees, great shots.
It's fun to see all the different birds coming into the yard. Wonderful photos!
gorgeous shots, Icy. so crisp and the details are so awesome.
Chickadees are one of my favorite birds. You've captured them wonderfully.
Chickadees have always been my favorite birds! Love your shots of this one.


Maryland September has been located and The Chime are safe but only for the moment. The storm rages outside and with it, threat hangs heavy in the air. In a space that is both familiar and unfamiliar, where does the real danger lie? A simple phone call, a little impatience, a forgotten responsibility, and a distant memory... what could be worse than a little rain?
What lies beyond the bounds?

Trashy's World
Scribbling some perspective on Canada, Ottawa and whatever else crosses my mind…
All you need to know about Trashy
What I would like seen thrown into the Ottawa River
September, 2009:
God damn it all! It's National Blasphemy Day
by trashee.
Thanks to the Squid-dude for making me aware of this!
Feel free to celebrate on this day the right to demean whatever fantasy creature you see fit!
Blasphemy Day International is an international campaign seeking to establish September 30th as a national day to promote free speech and stand up in a show of solidarity for the freedom to mock and insult religion without fear of murder, violence, and reprisal. It is the obligation of the world's nations to safeguard dissent and the dissenters, not to side with the brutal interests of thugs who demand "respect" for their beliefs (i.e., immunity to being criticized or mocked or they threaten violence).
So if you support free speech, and the rights of those who disagree with religious views to voice their opinions peacefully, support our group and join the cause!
Hmmmm… betcha stuff like this sends the christian right into conniption fits!
There is even a Facebook group!
Thanks for the memories, Mats
After almost 2 decades, Mats Sundin is hanging up the blades.
He was the face of my beloved Leafs for a long, long time and when he is inducted into the Hall, it will be in the Blue and White.
Tack, Mats
Dr. OC Transpo-Love. Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bus
As always, I say – well put XUP. Another great commentary on that little, twisted organization that we in Bytown like to call: OC Transpo.
And as I said in an earlier post, this is one almost-former OC Transpo user who has had quite enough and has his name on a few waiting lists for a parking space close to where I work. After 12 years of faithful ridership, I am sick of it all.
One thing that XUP didn't mention is the arrogant attitude that many (not all) drivers have toward students and anyone who isn't white.
Students are regarded almost as a necessary evil and are often berated by the driver for holding their pass upside down or something. Last week, a driver called my daughter a "stupid idiot" for trying to use a transfer that was ONE minute past its time stamp! Gimme a break. And the bus was 10 minutes late!
And I'm not saying that all of the drivers are racists but I cannot count how many times I have seen a non-white person be denied entry to a bus for no apparent reason. Some blokes will stand outside the door, arms extended in a pleading fashion, and the driver just ignores him and drives away.
But if that person is a hot white chicky-poo… well, then there isn't a problem.
Come aboard miss, glad to see you!
But – enough of all this negativity. In the spirit of all things that we LOVE (I'm trying to be positive cuz I'm a positive kind guy, eh?) about OC Transpo, I humbly submit the following.
Things to love while on that packed aluminum coffin racing 100 km/h down the Transitway
I love the way that the drivers will almost intentionally jerk the bus ahead before the passengers have a chance to anchor themselves. I especially love the way that seniors' heads are smacked right into the upright posts – makes a cool "boing" sound.
I love the way that folks with strollers / wheelchairs or crutches are treated – like the dawgs they are. Shame on them for not being able-bodied. Shame!
I love how some buses just do not show up on Fridays… I'm just guessing that the driver has called in "sick" that day and the office cannot be bothered to replace him. What's the big deal? It's not like the riders have anywhere important to go!
I love the way that stay behind the yellow line is unevenly interpreted. If the rider is a non-white male, behind the yellow line means a good 6 feet. If the rider is anyone else but a non-white male, they can crowd the front much as they want… especially if they are a hot and white chick wearing short shorts.
I love those buses that appear to have not been cleaned since Chretien was PM… though I suppose that is also a reflection of the general slobbishness of many riders… so,
I love the general slobbishness of many riders – it seems as though I have been mistaking the floor of the bus as a floor all of these years – while in reality it is the bus's own little landfill. My bad.
I love interior climate control. It is for the driver's comfort. Not the passenger's. It is the operator's union-given right to wear his or her shorts and ATU t-shirt and jack up the heat to "unbearable" in the middle of January if they so wish! The riders should be thankful for the free sauna!
I love the Special Constables. Or are they the Gestapo – 2009 version? Hard to tell the difference. But you have to love all the cool stuff on their utility belts.
I love windows that do not stay closed.
I love windows that don't open.
I love how the bus schedules are pretty much just a "guide". Plus or minus 15 minutes is quite acceptable. What's the hurry?
I love how the bus stops are plowed right when you need them in the morning… provided you start work sometime after 11 am.
I love those doors that close on you as you are exiting the bus. I really love that sense of panic when you realise the the bus will likely take off from the stop with you trapped half in and half out of the bus. Gives me a rush to think that I can be beheaded by a passing car.
And it would of course be my fault.
I love the operators who greet your sunny "good afternoon" with a grunt. Kinda like a "unghn"… hard to pronounce. But it's attractive.
I love the operators who provide monosyllabic answers to sincere questions from a rider. As in "If I want to get to Elmvale, am I better to take the 86 or to take the 148 – or should I take the 112 from Billings?" Response: "unghn". Clear enough to me! Why don't you learn how to speak Canadian, eh?
I love how it seems that, when I'm in a hurry to get to work, 27 express buses in a row from the 'burbs go by as I'm waiting downtown to transfer before one arrives that is going as far as Tunney's Pasture. I really, really do love that!
And then I love how it's completely packed.
With high school kids juiced up on Red Bull.
And my MP3 player is outta juice.
And the driver decided that it's a good time for a layover.
I would really like to drop a very, very special note to the fine fellow who wouldn't let the guy with the busted bike get on the 148 at Alta Vista a few weeks back. The front of the bus was completely empty and the guy – with a pass – said "please, just for a few blocks"… and all he got was a "get of my bus" response from the driver… OC Transpo operators do not believe in cutting anyone a break. Not that they deserve one anyhow.
The fact remains that many transit riders have no other option but to avail themselves of this crappy system. And that is truly sad. Maybe the folks of this fair borough will rise out of their red and white shackles and cry for good service, civil drivers and on-time buses!
But I doubt it.
Finally, if you have ever gleaned anything from my posts on this blogs, you will know that I'm a freakin' LEFTY. But even I am saying that maybe, just maybe, we should think about contracting this out to the private sector. If I ever run again for municipal office, that will be one of the planks in my platform. I swear!
Those wacky gun nuts are at it again!
Just when I think that I have seen the most ridiculous thing ever to come from our neighbours to the south, along comes a new doosy-winner.
According to Metro, a candidate for South Carolina's adjutant general – the dude in charge of the state's national guard corps (whatever that is) – invited the public to join him for a round of shootin'… and a chance to win a brand new AK-47!!! Yup, $25 gets ya a BBQ, a clip of bullets for target practice and a chance to win the gun!
And 500 folks came out to join him!
I wonder if our politicos are paying any attention to this. But being that big guns that can literally cut a moose into two are frowned upon north of the 49th, they'd have to think of another grand prize…
Like a free ticket to one of Stevo's anger management classes. Valid only for those 18+ or 12+ if from Alberta.
Grrr... I'm angry... grrrrrrrrrr....
A lecture by Minister James Moore on why the Calgary Stampede is more culturally enriching than the now buried National Portrait Gallery. Anyone named Paul Dewar will be stopped at the door.
An inside look at the speech therapy classes being attended by Pierre Polievre… he's been struggling to say anything not scripted by the PMO since '05.
A free workshop hosted by Tony Clement on "Using the "wet-look" to your advantage". Cost of Bryl-cream not included.
Pretty damn tempting. Might even buy a ticket to one of these for the fun factor!
Isn't this political interference?
Good ol' Jason Kenney. Always the nice politico with kind words for little old ladies, soccer moms and anyone else eligible to vote. The "target audience", one might say.
To Jason and the rest of the Harperites, the immigrant population is an important part of this group. It is reckoned that by capturing the hearts and minds of Canada's immigrant communities, then the Promised Land of Majority Government is within reach.
So it is no surprise to me that one of Harper's chief lap dogs was in a Hogtown Chinatown grocery store yesterday to offer moral support to a grocer that is facing charges including kidnapping, forcible confinement and assault after he collared a shoplifter who came back to his Toronto store. The guy was pretty sick of losing a considerable amount of his inventory to those folks who advocate the 5 finger discount method of pricing, so he took matters into his own hands.
Whether or not you agree with taking the law into your own hands is moot. What is relevant is that a Minister of the Crown, in a blatant attempt to gain political brownie points, has broken one of the key tenets of our judicial system and interfered with a case that is before the courts.
Afterward, the minister said he didn't want to interfere in a court case. But he offered sympathy to merchants of shoplifting. He said Mr. Chen, who arrived as a refugee in 1991, is an exemplary newcomer to Canada and a victim of crime.
But he HAS interfered. Just by showing up and expressing support for the shopkeeper, he has in essence thrown out the principal that politicos shall NOT interfere or APPEAR to have interfered.
Funny thing is that this is by no means the first time that JK has been accused of political interference. Reported in the Embassy Magazine on July 22, 2009;
Jason Kenney has compromised his position as immigration minister by repeatedly slamming the validity of various refugee claims and blatantly undermining the independence of Canada's refugee tribunal, legal and immigration experts, including former IRB chairman Peter Showler, are charging. Over the past several months, Mr. Kenney has publicly declared asylum claims by U.S. war deserters to be "bogus," accused would-be Mexican refugees of systematically abusing the system, and questioned the legitimacy of refugee claims by Roma from the Czech Republic.
As above, it matters not if you agree with the move to impose the added conditions to Czech refugee claimants; it's not the point.
The Minister of the Crown is responsible for the way that his or her department carries out business and interprets and acts upon policy directives. It is therefore correct to reason that if the Minister is expressing a strong opinion about a particular issue that is relevant to the department, the department will likewise follow that course in its actions. An institutional bias is introduced.
Peter Showler, a former chairman of the IRB and director of the Refugee Forum at the Human Rights Research and Education Centre at the University of Ottawa, said Mr. Kenney has absolutely introduced institutional bias into the refugee board's decision-making. He said Mr. Kenney's comments have caused a "significant amount of damage" to individual refugee claimants from Mexico and the Czech Republic, as well as to the judicial process.
"I am not aware of a single previous minister of immigration who has made such remarks, who has intruded on the judicial process in this way; not one," Mr. Showler said. "This is extraordinary and I think he has overstepped the line, and I think the courts are going to tell him that he's overstepped the line."
This interference is unprecedented and must not continue if we Canadians hold an independent and non-political judiciary and immigration system to be an important part of our society.
Those wacky christians are at it again!
Good post by Ken over at My Corner of the Universe.
Yes, Christians need to chill. They are in a bit of a siege mentality lately as they are railing against windmills coming at them from all directions.
A Christian group is calling for the removal of an elephant statue, modeled after a Hindu god, from the Calgary Zoo calling it "selective religious partiality."
"The zoo is not a place of religious indoctrination, it is supposed to be a safe family environment free of religious icons and selective religious partiality," Blake wrote
Jim Blake, national chairman of Concerned Christians Canada, sent a letter to the zoo on Thursday, calling for the sculpture to be removed.
Reminds me of The Simpsons episode:
In the episode "Homer the Heretic," Springfield's multifaith volunteer fire department mobilizes to save the Simpsons' home–and Homer's life. Reverend Lovejoy explains to Homer that God was working through his friends and neighbors, including a Christian like Ned Flanders and a Jew like Krusty.
But the minister comes up short when he points toward the other firefighter, Apu Nahaasapeemapetilon. After a nonplussed pause, the minister characterizes the convenience store operator's religion as "miscellaneous." This level of ignorance is too much for the normally mild-mannered Asian immigrant. Apu explodes: "Hindu! There are 700 million of us!" Corrected, Lovejoy replies with condescension, "Aw, that's super."
Amalgamated Transit Union votes to retain right to strike…
If I had any doubts about giving up on OC Transpo, they have effectively disappeared.
A bid to end crippling strikes or lockouts at OC Transpo was voted down on Friday by the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 279.
The vote was 62.8 per cent in favour of maintaining the strike/lockout model instead of arbitration.
Jim Haddad, Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 279 secretary-treasurer, said he was very disappointed.
"They're afraid of what the arbitrator will decide. It's the unknown," he said.
"Hopefully, the next time the two sides are at the table they will negotiate and get a contract."
It's Girl Guide cookie time!
Too late, OC Transpo, way too late…
So the ATU members are voting to give up their right to strike.
Yippee. Nice thought.
But given:
the increasingly cramped buses
the increasingly common buses that just, like, don't show up
the increasing congestion downtown and around Hurdman station. And I suspect it's the same around Baseline, Lincoln Fields, Orléans, etc.
the ever increasing fees for ever decreasing levels of service
the notion that the transit users of this city will likely be the ones who foot the bill for the Siemens out of court settlement resulting from the Council's ineptitude
the notion that if I need to urgently pick up one of my little ones (i.e., "Hello, Mr. Trashy, this is the school calling, your little one has been throwing up all over the staff room…"), it will take me a minimum of an hour by bus or a $25 cab ride to get from work to the school or daycare.
the distinct possibility that even if the ATU does vote away their right to strike, they may just go ahead and do so anyway
For an extra $65/month extra – once I cancel my bus pass – I can park in the underground lot across the street.
After 12 years of riding, you've lost me, OCT and ATU. Bye-bye
Michael Moore's new pic
Yeah, I know Michael Moore goes over the top to get his point across. And yeah, he's a big doofus.
But the fundamental points of his rants (i.e., movies) are sound – if sometimes a little exaggerated. The system is most definitely broken.
And don't give me that right-wing, everyone for themselves, entrepreneurial crap. The financial institutions in most countries (1) have been playing the public and the governments for patsies for decades and have gotten away with it. And are still getting away with it.
Capitalism is a good way to run things… if for no other reason than all of the alternatives have failed miserably… but it needs fixing.
In the United States at the end of 2001, 10% of the population owned 71% of the wealth, and the top 1% controlled 38%. On the other hand, the bottom 40% owned less than 1% of the nation's wealth.[15]
In 2003, the 1% with the highest salaries paid more than 34% of the nation's federal income tax; the 10% with the highest salaries paid nearly 66% of the total income tax; the top 25% of paid 84% of the income taxes; and the upper 50% accounted for nearly 97% of US income tax revenue, primarily because, as stated above, the bottom 40% had comparatively no wealth (less than 1%) to be taxed in the first place.
1. 'cept in Canada! Go Canada!

Rågö är en ö i Loftahammars socken, Västerviks kommun, Kalmar län. Idag finns på ön den ursprungliga gården med byggnader från 1800-talet och arrendebostaden som uppfördes på sent 1800-tal samt en båtverkstad och ett mindre torp.

Historik
För att vara en skärgårdsö har ön kartlagts ovanligt många gånger, redan 1646 finns första kartan, sedan finns en för 1692 av Alfred Fridell och sedan storskiftet från 1790. Detta gör att utvecklingen av ön kronologisk kan ses, länge hade ön endast ett hemman och bar inte mer än ett halvt mantal, dvs. skatt var mycket svårt att ta ut. Historiskt har även ön legat under Vinö Säteri.

Rågö idag
På Rågö drivs idag en restaurang under sommaren samt uthyrning av stugor. Här finns även ett skärgårdsmuseum och här håller Tjust Allmogebåtar till med en verkstad. Ön utgör en del av Rågö naturreservat.

A life afloat with a remarkable beagle nicknamed The Admiral!
Affectionately nicknamed The Admiral, Buster the beagle was a popular figure on Britain's waterways and further afield.
Now Alison Alderton has put in print the adventures afloat she and her husband shared with him across a dozen years of happy barging.
Boating with Buster follows Alison, her husband and Buster on their travels through England, Ireland and northern Europe as far north as Scandinavia – no mean feat in their small Dutch barge called Lily.
Alison promises humour, tragedy and mishaps a plenty in her tale of canines, cruisings and companionship through all life's ups and downs – an unforgettable story, she says, focusing on the light that shines in the darkest moments of our lives: a dog's love.
Amidst a crisis, Alison, of Rose Green, felt as though life wasn't worth living, but getting her Beagle puppy changed everything.
"Buster was my first dog. People often told me he was special," says Alison, "and they were right. Buster saved my life and gave me a reason to live.
"I believe his story deserves to be told and that somewhere there is a dog that could do the same for someone else.
"Many people heard about Buster the barge Beagle, but few know of his impact on my life.
"He gave me hope when it seemed as if there were none.
"This book is a tribute to Buster, our Dutch barge Lily and the beautiful inland waterways which provided solace in a troubled world and offered adventures extraordinaires.
"It's been a complicated life! We had lost so many friends to ill health and cancer that we decided we weren't going to wait for the big adventure in our own lives.
" We decided to set out now while we were still fit and able, and we have now spent the last 12-13 years travelling.
Buster became a familiar figure: "He was nicknamed The Admiral.
"The Inland Waterways Association people called him that. He could be quite offish in a typical beagle way. They are scent hounds. They follow their noses.
"They are known for being very stubborn and single-minded.
"If they are locked on to a scent, you can be screaming and shouting right next to them and they won't notice you.
"When he used to sit on the boat, people would walk past and he would stick his noise in the air and smell the scent.
"He got called The Admiral because it always looked like he was in charge!
Humour plays a key part in the tales that Alison relates.
Sadly, Buster died three years ago.
"From England we went to Ireland and then right across northern Europe to Denmark. He saw us to Denmark and he passed away on board the boat in Denmark.
"He spent 12 years travelling with us. We had three years in Ireland and we also travelled through Holland and Germany. He was quite a character.
Sales of the book will also be supporting The Beagle Welfare Charity.
The book has been published by Matador: www.troubador.co.uk.
It is available from W H Smiths and Waterstones. ISBN: 9781789014389: price £19.99.
