Forming Beauty from the Clay: Katie Coston
Home » Stories » Forming Beauty from the Clay: Katie Coston
"Starting a business is frightening enough," Katie says. "Starting one in an exceptionally elite, highly cultured city in a foreign country is completely terrifying." Yet that's exactly what she found herself doing in Oxford, England, in September of 2013.
That summer had been a flurry of activity. Katie spent hours at her pottery wheel creating pieces to stock her new shop. She worked with her husband Micah to create the perfect displays for her pieces. Micah walked every street in their area of Oxford, slipping invitations to the grand opening into letterboxes.
And now the day had arrived. The pottery sat on the shelves. The front window display was complete. The refreshments were ready. At six o'clock sharp, Micah and Katie opened the shop door—and people began streaming in.
A Propensity to Create
Katie grew up creating things. "I think that I get my propensity to create from my dad," she says. "He didn't go into art full time, but he loved to draw and he loved to make things. I remember, as a little girl, playing with paper cutouts of figures he had drawn."
Katie loved to draw too, and to make miniature books out of paper. For a while, she enjoyed making stained glass. Her parents even let her use a corner of their wraparound porch as a stained glass studio.
At age 12, she had her first experience with clay—clay that she dug up from the pond near her house. "I fashioned tiny dishes," she remembers, "and sun-dried them and then painted them."
Still, as much as she loved art, she says, "I never thought of becoming an artist when I grew up, probably because I didn't really know anyone who made a living by selling their creations."
When she started college at Bob Jones University, she chose early childhood education as her major—but soon realized that it wasn't for her and switched to art education instead. And that's when she took her first official ceramics class. Her mind—and sketchbook—overflowed with new ideas to try.
"I love everything about clay," she says. "I love the tactile quality. I love that you can impress it, and then while the clay is soft you have the ability to wipe away those marks, bend the clay in a new way, and adjust as you go along."
"I also enjoy finding vintage objects, and I'll take those textures, press them into the clay, and build up patterns, giving old materials a new life in my pieces."
Concepts in Clay
After graduating in 2006, Katie decided to stay on at BJU for a master's degree in studio art—and was at last able to focus on clay. "That was a great time for me, because it was hours and hours of freedom to experiment," she says. "All of the ideas that had been brewing, I could bring them to fruition."
At the encouragement of Jay Bopp, one of her art professors, she also began to explore the conceptual side of clay, rather than just the functional.
"Some of the pieces I did for my grad show incorporated memories and experiences—even of my dad's passing," she says. After battling cancer for two years, her dad had passed away in the middle of her junior year.
"Dad and I were close and enjoyed many of the same interests," she says. "We had so much in common. When he died, my work didn't really become an escape or therapy, but a wonderful way to continue doing something that my dad instilled in me."
It was during her graduate school years that she began to have ideas of becoming a full-time artist. When she created pieces for class projects, her friends often asked if they could buy a piece or two. She realized that if nothing else, she at least wanted to have a home studio—and then she would see how a business developed from there.
Beginnings of Illyria
After she graduated with her master's degree, Katie and her husband Micah bought a house where she would have a place for a studio and a kiln. She named her new business Illyria Pottery—an ancient region of the Balkan Peninsula, referenced both in the Bible and in Shakespeare. "Basically, it's a lovely word with some good layers," Katie says.
"We started doing home exhibits, turning our house into a gallery several times a year. I was often surprised by how many people would come."
Then she began putting her pieces into local galleries and shops. "I was always a little frustrated with that," she admits. "I was able to finish the process and complete a piece, but I wasn't able to control the environment in which people saw the piece. The broader experience that the viewer was going to have was suddenly not in my hands. So I started having a strong desire to have a place where I could design both the pieces and the surroundings."
A New Place
But just as Katie and Micah began looking at spaces in downtown Greenville, Micah was accepted into the doctor of philosophy program in English literature at the University of Oxford. "You know, not many are given the opportunity to do a doctor of philosophy there," Katie says. "You don't turn that down. So we said, 'Let's take this already functioning business and take the next step with it in this new place.'"
As they settled into their new life in Oxford, however, finding a place for a studio and shop was not so simple.
"The property here is so valued, there are not many retail spaces available," Katie explains. "We looked a good bit online before we arrived, and once we moved, I walked every street in the center of Oxford looking for something."
And when she found a space that would be perfect, the owner would not agree to rent it to her. "It's going to go off the market to be renovated," they told her, "so you can't have it."
"I would have gone elsewhere, but there was absolutely nothing else in the city," she says. "So I kept knocking on that door, kept contacting them. I just put my foot in the door and wouldn't let them close it until they said yes."
Waiting … and then Creating
"It took us a whole year to get into the property," Katie says. Meanwhile, she had nowhere to continue with her pottery. "I felt awful, just sitting there and not being able to make."
Finally, she was able to move in. "That was a really intense period," she remembers. "I had to wait until I was in, of course, to create the inventory. So not only was I designing a space and beginning a business and working out all of that, but I was also making all the pieces to fill the shelves."
But when the grand opening day arrived, she was ready. Both friends and new faces filled the shop, chatting about her creation process and snapping up pieces that caught their eye. "We were off and running!" Katie says.
A Mutually Beneficial Exchange
Managing the shop and keeping up with her pottery proved to be a challenge. "Early on, within the first year, I got to the point where I was at my own limit of energy and ability to do everything," Katie says.
Searching for a solution, she discovered that Oxford's Ruskin School of Art didn't have their own ceramic studio. "The students are given clay," she explains, "but they aren't given any instruction and they don't have a kiln or workspace for that type of medium."
So Katie negotiated an exchange. "We offer an internship now where the students help me run the shop, so I can be making during the day," she says. "And then on Monday evenings, all of the students convene for a group session. Whatever they want to learn, I give them the supplies, the space and the instruction. It's worked so well to offer something that's mutually beneficial."
"I think that my dad would be proud."
"We've been open almost two years now—this coming September will be two years—and absolutely loving it," Katie says.
"Often I look at the beautiful place that God has given me and all the pieces that I've filled it with, and I think that my dad would be proud," she says. "I wish that I could show him around my shop and studio and tell him about the ideas that are still in my head and how much work it's taken to get here."
"I wish he were able to experience this stage of life with me, but, for some reason, God hasn't given us this to share."
As Katie runs Illyria Pottery, she continues to learn the balance between beauty and business.
"It's rarely enough to just be a good artist," she says. "So much of success or failure often comes down to basic business—can you promote your work, can you make it accessible, can you make it at a viable price point, and so on?"
"But it's interesting that things that I am really excited about do sell well. And the things that I make because I think, 'Oh, I should have more of such-and-such on the shelf'—those things are slower to go."
As Katie works, her thoughts often turn to God's own creation of beautiful things—"some things that humans haven't even seen yet," she says. "We don't even know all of what's at the bottom of the darkest ocean. And for all these years, He's been the only one enjoying these things. That reminds me not to make things just for the consumer—but to make things that I really believe are wonderful."

Cobra Starship Return with Icona Pop-Assisted Single, 'Never Been In Love'!
August 25, 2014 / 1 Comment
Cobra Starship frontman Gabe Saporta may have taken a little hiatus to get married and reunite with his old band Midtown, but he hasn't forgotten about us just yet! The 34-year-old singer-songwriter is now back in action with his mates and slowly preparing the release of their fifth studio album, which is due out early next year via Fueled by Ramen. Here we have the official lead single from the upcoming LP, "Never Been In Love" featuring Icona Pop, a joyous and upbeat party anthem produced and written alongside John Ryan and Wallpaper. "What I really wanted to do for this new record is I really wanted to draw an inspiration from," Gabe told EW. "I was listening to a lot of George Michael and a lot of like early '90s U.K. artists and there was really this era of time in that period where all these bands first started experimenting with break beats and electronic music. So I really wanted to draw an inspiration from there." The girls of Icona do a good job of delivering their usual shouty, sing-along goodness to the song and overall it sounds like a nice blend of both of their sounds.

"Night photo of medium-size city in the south U.S., Little Rock, Arkansas. Shot using HDR technique."
The medical marijuana system in Arkansas has been moving at a snail's pace. After opening the door for applications to grow and dispense cannabis on June 30, the state didn't receive a single one for a month and a half.
The silence, at least, is over. As of yesterday, two would-be dispensaries have applied for licenses, and the state Department of Health has approved nearly 800 medical marijuana registry identification cards. But according to Arkansas news website Talk Business & Politics, the commission has yet to receive any applications to grow the plant.
Applications—the state is accepting bids for five cultivators and up to 32 dispensary operators—must be delivered to the commission by Sept. 18, at which point applicants must submit a $15,000 fee. Applicants must also provide proof of assets or a surety bond in the amount of $1 million, along with proof of at least $500,000 in liquid assets, according to Talk Business.
Despite the small number of applications received, state Rep. Doug House (R-North Little Rock) said he expects a mad rush as the deadline nears. He said he's had conversations with several investor groups planning to seek cultivation and dispensary licenses.
"I think there is going to be a mad rush on the last day," House told municipal officials at the Arkansas Association of Counties (AAC) in Little Rock earlier this month.
House has been a supporter of medical marijuana bills in Arkansas. The Republican lawmaker sponsored more than 50 medical marijuana bills approved by the Legislature this spring.
Those amounts for licensing are for the cultivation licenses not the dispensary licenses.
The buzz here in arkansas is that wal mart and tyson foods are going to be the only growers. What a disaster this issue 6 is. Lets just ditch it and start over. This is a sick joke. We will never have mmj in arkansas.
Our state politicians are corrupt and greedy. They will never allow this to happen.
It's been around long enough that it shouldn't be this difficult but they are making it impossible to move forward with what the voters voted for! What a disgrace to the American people.
Look no more. Visit AnnCannMed for your health prescriptions and medical purchases and feel support talking to licensed physicians. Cannabis makes life so much easier.

Congratulations! This is a beautiful pattern (my favourite in Knitty's Winter 2012 collection) and that colour is very refreshing.
Sooo pretty! Was so pleased to see you included. (It's my fav too!) Lovely to see a shawl with a non-standard construction. Congrats!
I have this ICE mohair which has been swatched, patterned, fondled and finally–ripped !! again and again..Now, I know what it was made for–your lovely shawl. Am going to dive into your amazing pattern and emerge only when the beauty is complete!! thank you for sharing your genius with fellow knitters!
I'm working on your beautiful shawl Lilaceous.I'm on the first round of chart C,D,E,F. I had 4 stitches left over after I finished the round. So I ripped that round and started again. Chart C turns out well, but chart D does not seem to coincide to form the design.It seems to be off 1 or 2 stitches. Have I left something out?

Nine of Hong Kong's Most Beautiful Beaches and Coves
We've hiked foliage-filled trails, sought out supplies in planet-friendly supermarkets and dipped our toe in spirit-clear waters to discover Hong Kong's most beautiful beaches and coves. Pack your cozzie, let's hit the beach.
In partnership withHong Kong Tourism Board
Fleur Rollet-Manus
Most Most people associate Hong Kong with skyscrapers, shopping and lively streets. But venture beyond its bustling metropolis and you'll find more than 700km of winding natural coastline, 260 tropical islands and 100 beaches. Armed with that information, we say: break up your explorations of the city with a seaside excursion.
Some shores get a decent amount of attention: Big Wave Bay Beach birthed the Hong Kong surf scene; Repulse Bay calls party revellers; Shek O's wide expanse of golden sand lures locals. But you know us better than one to stay on the radar. Instead, we're spotlighting the lesser-known coves and secret shorelines to explore - as soon as it's safe to do so, of course.
Hike trails fringed with foliage (not forgetting to source picnic supplies before you head out the city) and dip your toe in spirit-clear waters on Hong Kong's most beautiful beaches. Pack your cozzie - your escape route is here.
Crowd-free coves, hiking trails and epic sunsets: Hong Kong's hidden beaches
thingstodo
Ham Tin Wan Beach
Clinging to the side of the Sai Kung Peninsula is a necklace of four bays separated by a turret of hills, each with pearly sands and mirror-clear waters. Set off from San Wan to Ham Tin Wan, crossing through grassy valleys and forest-fringed corridors. You'll know you're near when you reach the waterfalls and rock pools. Take a dip before continuing on. It's quite a journey, so set up camp overnight - you can rent surfboards, camping gear and firewood from On Kee Store. S'mores under the stars? Obligatory. For something more substantial, before you leave the city proper, pick up a ready-made picnic from Brick Lane. These aren't your run-of-the-mill sandy sandwiches; its hampers come complete with (proper) utensils, blankets and, the best bit, loaded-truffle fries.
Getting there: Head to Sai Kung Town by taking bus 92 from MTR Diamond Hill Station Exit C2. Once there, jump on a speedboat direct to Ham Tin or set about on the hike from Sai Wan Pavilion. It'll take you about 90 minutes depending on how many times you stop (for snacks/ snaps/ a swim in the rock pools).
Chung Hom Kok is just a 50-minute bus ride from the hubbub of city life. Most sunseekers are deterred by the 200 (or so, we lost count after that) steep steps that lead to the beach, but when compared to other multiple-ferry-crossing sandy crescents, this is fairly fuss-free to reach. Stretch out - there's little chance of shaking sand onto someone else's towel here - before firing up the free-to-use beach barbecues. We suggest stocking up Bones & Blades for a selection of cuts gathered from some of the best family-owned farms from across the world for a sunset cookout.
Getting there: From Central (Exchange Square) hop on bus 6. Walk downhill, take a left and you'll reach those stairs.
Turtle Cove Beach
Encircled by lush, raw forest, this teeny tiny crescent is one of our favourite sun-dappled spots in Hong Kong. It's blissfully void of crowds and the water is some of the bluest around. Plus, there's little-to-no tide making it an ideal spot for morning breaststroke. Getting restless? Turtle Cove is just south of the Tai Tam Tuk Reservoir - a favourite hiking spot for Hong Kongers. Venture back uphill for about an hour to reach the reservoir. There are no shacks or stalls here - plenty of barbecue pits, though - so pop to Oliver's The Delicatessen before to load up.
Getting there: Take the MTR to Sai Wan Ho, then jump on bus 14.
Trio Beach
Despite being one of the most accessible beaches in Sai Kung, Trio Beach's tucked-away location prevents it from overcrowding. That being said, we suggest visiting during the week if you're seeking complete seclusion. Part of the beach's allure is the 3km trail that traverses by cliff-jumping spots, rock pools and views across the bobbing boats found lining Hebe Haven. Start the route at Pak Sha Wan Public Pier and follow the trail signs to the beach. You'll know you've reached your destination when you spot the Wes Anderson-style lifeguard tower.
Getting there: Take minibus 1A or 101M from Sai Kung Pier and hop-off at Che Keng Tuk Road.
Lo So Shing Beach
Often overlooked in favour of Lamma Island's busier beaches, we're signposting this dinky, near-empty cove for its pristine sands - it regularly achieves the highest rating from the city's Environment Protection Department - barefoot appeal and the epic sunsets. Reachable only by foot (Lamma Island is car-free), head south from Hung Shing Yeh Beach and follow the flora-flecked path past two pavilions. You'll want to detour from the trail, known as the Lamma Island Family Trail, and descend a set of steps to reach the cove. There's only a single refreshment stand on the shores, so pick up water, sunscreen and beers from the hawkers lining the steps.
Getting there: Hike across the island, detouring from the Lamma Island Family Trail.
Tung Ping Chau
Geographically floating closer to Shenzhen, China than Hong Kong's mainland, Tung Ping Chau is a remote island with a vibrant coral reef ideal for snorkelling. Plan an urban-escape day trip, starting with a 90-minute ferry ride from Ma Liu Shui Public Pier.
On your itinerary: the 5km Ping Chau Country Trail that circumnavigates the island. It's a great way to orient yourself. After arriving at the Tung Ping Chau ferry pier, turn left. Stroll past an abandoned hamlet with vines smothering empty houses. Cross the wave-ravaged stones that resemble dragon scales and head uphill into the jungle. Dip in and out of the bamboo groves, banyan trees and even the odd cactus - two varieties of which grow on the island - before circling round to a silver stretch of beach. It's the longest sandy swathe on the island, and you'll want to don your flippers here - spot more than 100 types of reef fish darting in and out of the coral. Stop by Sunshine Store (identifiable by its rainbow-painted facade) in Tai Tong village on the eastern coast for its salt and pepper shrimp.
Getting there: Make your way to Ma Liu Shui Public Pier and jump aboard the ferry. There's only two crossings a day, one at 9am and a returning ferry at 5.15pm and the ferry service operates only on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. Schedule your day accordingly and don't miss your ferry back.
Hap Mun Beach
Disclaimer: we're a little bit reluctant to share this one. Floating off the coast of Sai Kung is a crescent of fine grained sands where crabs nibble the coastline, hammocks are strung between the trees and the bath-warm water shines a Tiffany-blue. In short: it's as pretty as a postcard. Yet, there's also plenty to do for those who get bored of retreating to a sun-soaked stupor. Head out on the one-hour trek through Kiu Tsui Country Park where you'll find a string of volcanic rock formations that have earned the nickname "pineapple bun" rocks thanks to the similarity between them and the baked pastries of the same name. Still got itchy feet? On the opposite side of the island there's a tombolo that connects the island to the shoreline. Visit at low tide when the naturally formed, rocky bridge is exposed.
Getting there: Hail a sampan (wooden boat) from Sai Kung Pier. It'll take about 15 minutes to reach Hap Mun's shores. Make a note of the flag flying from the sampan as this will be the same sampan you need to board for your journey back.
Long Ke Wan Beach
Hailed as Hong Kong's last hidden beach, this raw and rustic enclave offers translucent waters, powder-soft sands and an overnight campsite that beckons you to sleep under the stars. To reach the bay you'll need to follow Section 1 of the world-renowned MacLehose Trail that skirts along the coastline. Look out for the hexagonal volcanicrocks that flank one side of the bay - they are 140 million years old and make up part of the Hong Kong Unesco Global Geopark. Planning to camp? Stop by SEED, Sai Kung's zero-waste supermarket.
Getting there: Hail a taxi from Sai Kung to East Dam and follow the MacLehose Trail that's dotted with signs leading to Long Ke Wan Beach from here. If you want to bypass the hike, charter a speedboat from the pier.
Pui O Beach
Ok, so this sandy spot on Lantau Island can't claim to be as under-the-radar as other beaches in Hong Kong, but we're still firm fans thanks to its top-draw sundowner bar, novice-friendly swell and the wandering water buffalo that are known to join us for a dip. Make tracks to Treasure Island restaurant and bar where you'll find DJs spinning sets reminiscent of summers in Ibiza, while beginner boarders not yet ready to tackle the swell at Big Wave can also pluck up their courage. Need to sleep it off after one-too-many San Miguels? Book one of the cottages or cabanas for a sleepover.
Getting there: Board the ferry from Central Pier 6 to Mui Wo. Change here for bus 1 to Pui O Beach.

Ripple Widens Presence in European Remittance Market and 70 Countries Through Partner Bank
Ripple partner Intermex has moved to acquire La Nacional & LAN Holdings
Ripple is expanding its tentacles into the European remittance market and 70 countries through partner bank Intermex, which leverages RippleNet for cross-border remittance services.
In a recent agreement, Ripple partner Intermex has moved to acquire La Nacional & LAN Holdings, Corp, a remittance company serving more than 70 countries. Through the purchase of LAN holdings, Intermex also acquires I-Transfer Global Payments, a Spain-based money transmitter that enables customers to send from Spain, Italy, Germany and Canada. The deal is expected to close in mid-2022.
This expands its reach into the European remittance market via key EU countries Spain, Italy and Germany. In February 2020, Ripple announced its partnership with Nasdaq-listed International Money Express (Intermex), a money remittance services company.
Despite setbacks in Ripple's SEC case, CEO Brad Garlinghouse maintains that RippleNet saw its best year to date with massive growth globally in 2021 with a volume run rate of more than $10 billion.
In the latter part of 2021, Ripple announced the launch of RippleNet's first-ever On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) deployment in the Middle East, together with Pyypl, an international blockchain-based financial services technology company in the Middle East and Africa.
Also, in the past year, Ripple announced its first-in-market ODL corridor in Japan, in partnership with SBI Remit, and acquired a 40% stake in Tranglo in Malaysia to expand the availability of its ODL service.
In the latest updates in the Ripple SEC case shared by defense lawyer James K. Filan, Ripple defendants Chris Larsen and Brad Garlinghouse have filed a letter in further support of their motion to strike the SEC's Metz Supplemental Expert Report.
Metz, who has worked for the U.S. Department of Justice, submitted his original report on Oct. 4. He conducted an event study to determine whether or not Ripple was able to manipulate the price of the XRP token with its announcements.

Tyson is acclaimed indie director James Toback's stylistically inventive portrait of a mesmerizing Mike Tyson. Toback allows Tyson to reveal himself without inhibition and with eloquence and a pervasive vulnerability. Through a mixture of original interviews and archival footage and photographs, a startlingly complex, fully-rounded human being emerges. The film ranges from Tyson's earliest memories of growing up on the mean streets of Brooklyn through his entry into the world of boxing, to his roller coaster ride in the funhouse of worldwide fame and fortunes won and lost. It is the story of a legendary and uniquely controversial international athletic icon, a figure conjuring radical questions of race and class. In its depiction of a man rising from the most debased circumstances to unlimited heights, destroyed by his own hubris, Tyson emerges as a modern day version of classic Greek tragedy.

Whilst it's increasingly common for Britons to pay for domestic cleaning services, there's still a lot of stigma around the idea of employing someone else to do your housework.
Here we offer five very good reasons why hiring a cleaner to help keep your home clean and tidy is not only rational and productive, but well-deserved.
Cleaning the oven is one of those tasks that most of us love to hate. From strong smelling chemical cleaners to grease and grime, it's easy to see why. But did you know that to keep your oven working efficiently, you're supposed to clean it inside out, at least once a month?
While it can be tempting to shut the oven door and forget what's inside, there are a number of good reasons why keeping your oven clean is a good idea.
Tidying up probably sits low down on the 'tasks I'd love to do' list, but it's a necessary evil if we want to live in a clean and clutter free environment. While we may not always have the time to have a four hour cleanathon, we'd like to share ten top tips to save you time and help keep your home looking spotless.
When you are busy running a household, on top of everything else in life, you will probably take any hacks you can get to save time and effort but still end up with the desired results – a beautifully clean and tidy home. In fact, you might think that with the kids tearing round at 100mph and the pets walking mud in, that there is no such thing as a clean and tidy home, no matter what advice you follow. Well, we are here to prove you wrong.
Spring cleans are the perfect excuse to sort through your belongings, declutter and give your home a deep clean in time for summer.
However organising your household and getting rid of all the dust and dirt built up over the winter months can take several hours or even days, which leaves you with little free time to spend on what you enjoy. Our professional Domestique cleaners can take the cleaning duties off your hands with a thorough one-off spring clean service. We'll tackle the accumulated dust and grime and ensure that your home looks and feels sparklingly fresh this spring.
A domestic cleaning service is a cost-effective and convenient way to freshen up your home and keep it exceptionally clean. However, have you ever thought about your windows? Exposure to the outside combined with dirt and dust built up from inside your home, can leave your windows dull and unpleasant to look through.

Now that your turf is finally out from under a blanket of snow and getting a strong dose of April showers, you might notice a patchy appearance on the lawn or areas that appear matted and brown. These symptoms are likely a byproduct of turf diseases that were festering in the lawn during one of the most snow-covered years on record in Northeast Ohio.
You see, grass doesn't completely hibernate in winter—disease activity is actually occurring underneath the snow. Come spring, we notice the disease aftermath, so jump-starting a lawn care program is important for establishing a sustainable commercial landscape that will stay healthy.
This spring, we are seeing a few common grass diseases on the commercial properties we serve in Northern Ohio: pink snow mold, gray snow mold and red thread. We're also keeping an eye out for dollar spot, which tends to crop up in lawns in late spring and early summer.
Here is a roundup of symptoms to watch for in the grass and how a professional landscape company like Schill identifies and manages these grass diseases in Northeast Ohio.
This mold is only a concern following winters when the turf has been covered in snow for 60 or more consecutive days. This year, we are seeing episodes of gray snow mold, which appears as brown, matted turf that has a gray tinge to it.
Sometimes you'll see it in areas where plowed snow piles sit for long periods of time, but this year entire lawns are susceptible because of the long-term snow cover we experienced January through March.
Prevention: There's nothing you can do about snow cover on your turf, but you can take steps to ensure that your lawn goes into winter prepared to weather the storm. We are careful to avoid excess fertilization in fall, which promotes grass growth going into winter. A thicker lawn traps moisture and harbors disease more readily.
Be sure that leaves and debris are cleaned up from the lawn before snowfall to give turf the best possible chance of "breathing" during moisture-heavy months when snow is sitting on the lawn.
Treatment: The grayish, matted patches of lawn will repair over time with adequate exposure to sunlight and proper air circulation. We do not recommend raking and re-seeding these areas because the agitation can actually do more damage to the turf. If the grass is not drying out, we may look for ways to improve drainage on the property.
You'll know pink snow mold from its circular patches that can have a pink sheen when the lawn is wet. Gray and pink snow mold often co-exist, and prevention and treatment measures are the same.
Prevention: Take fall cleanup seriously, so leaves and debris do not act as a blanket, trapping moisture into the turf. Again, avoid fall fertilizations that stoke grass growth before winter, which give moisture more grass blades to cling to and damage. You might also consider a fungicide application during late fall maintenance.
Treatment: Time and drier weather conditions are the best medicine for this mold. We generally do not treat this disease unless there is a particularly heavy infestation. Starting a lawn nutrition program is the best way to jumpstart healthy turf growth and regenerate a lawn.
We do not recommend raking and re-seeding — pink snow mold does not cause actual damage to the turf. The crown and root system is still alive, so with proper feeding most commercial properties bounce back rather quickly.
If your turf was weak going into winter, it probably did not have the strength to withstand our cold temperatures and snow cover and could be suffering from one of the most common lawn diseases we see at this time of year: red thread.
Is your lawn thinning out? Do you notice patches that are 4 inches to 2 feet in diameter?
From a distance, those patches appear reddish because of the thick, red strands of fungal growth infecting the lawn. These threads spread the fungus to healthy plants. When a lawn is wet, you might notice tufts of pink, fuzzy mycelium.
This disease is unsightly, but it will not threaten the health of your lawn over the long-term. Time and warmer temperatures will strengthen the turf and snuff out the disease.
Prevention: Proper lawn care practices during the growing season are important for preventing diseases like red thread, which sets in because turf health is compromised. Ultimately, red thread is a nutrient deficiency disease.
Treatment: As with the previous two diseases, turf will recover from red thread with time and the right turf care program. Cultural practices including aeration are important and necessary for airing out the lawn and decreasing compaction and thatch that can trap moisture and cause turf to harbor disease.
Dollar spot can form once night temperatures consistently exceed 50° F. Spring weather in Northeast Ohio creates the perfect storm for dollar spot: cool, wet, overcast conditions. Nitrogen-deficient lawns are more susceptible to dollar spot, as are lawns that have a heavy layer of thatch that traps moisture. You'll know dollar spot by the straw colored patches that are the size of a silver dollar.
Prevention: As with many lawn diseases, cultural practices are helpful, including aeration to open up the turf stand and dethatching to remove the layer of dead matter that can form between the soil and turf surface.
Proper watering is also important: you want to avoid light, frequent watering that will cause moisture to get trapped in the grass rather than reaching the roots, which actually need the nourishment.
Treatment: Dollar spot generally goes away in mid-summer, once temperatures reach closer to 90° F — that can be as late as August in Northeast Ohio, depending on what kind of weather we experience this coming season.
At Schill, we act as an extra set of eyes on your commercial property, constantly keeping a watch for potential weak spots, so we can strengthen the grass using cultural practices and an appropriate turf care program. Healthy grass is sustainable grass.
The three most common spring lawn care diseases we see — snow molds (pink and gray) and red thread — can be prevented by keeping the lawn healthy during the growing season and fortifying turf with nutrition in spring.
Let's talk more about how to keep your commercial landscape healthy year-round. Call us any time at (440) 327-3030, or fill out this simple contact form and we'll get in touch with you.

THE CASE STUDY
Oscar is a 19-year-old Hispanic male who is the oldest of 5 children. His family has been farming the same land for 4 generations. Currently they grow vegetables for the regional grocery chain's produce departments. They live in a rural area of the county. Three generations live in two separate houses on their land. They are fiercely independent and have little to do with people in town, although the family itself is extremely close knit.
Oscar is currently a freshman at the same college his father attended, majoring in agriculture. When he came home for spring break, his parents noticed significant changes in his appearance. He had lost weight, looked haggard, wasn't sleeping and seemed irritable and argumentative. He told his parents that he did not want to return to college after the break. He went on to say that his roommate had placed cameras in the room so he could record everything Oscar did while the roommate was absent. His grades were poor and he expressed that he believed his instructors were prejudiced against him. This poor performance was in stark contrast to his performance in high school, where he was in the top 10% of his class. Within days of coming home he had stopped showering and began wearing multiple layers of clothes (3 pairs of jeans and 4 t-shirts). He became essentially non-communicative, responding to questions with one-word answers and not initiating conversation. Oscar seemed unhappy or irritable whenever he encountered a member of his family and began spending all his time in his room. He even refused to talk with his youngest brother, with whom he had always been close. He did not take meals with his family, a long-standing tradition in his family, and left his room only in the middle of the night. He could then be heard opening drawers in the kitchen, going into his siblings' rooms and leaving the house for long periods of time.
The family (parents and grandparents) became very disturbed and consulted their priest. The priest recommended that the parents take Oscar to see a fellow parishioner who is also a counselor. This counselor was also disturbed with Oscar's presentation and recommended hospitalization. The family was very reluctant, but eventually agreed. By the time they got to the hospital, Oscar was essentially non-communicative, only nodding or shaking his head in response to direct questions.
The parents provided history that indicated Oscar had been a good student in high school and had participated in the school's FFA club. He has always wanted to carry on the family tradition of farming. He did not have many friends, but the family attributed that to their living in the country.
The psychiatrist diagnosed Oscar with major depressive disorder, single episode, severe with psychotic features and prescribed anti-depressants. He was released three weeks later, with some improvement. One week later he was readmitted, with the same presentation he had at the previous admission. This time, though, his father reported that he had found a cache of knives in the barn, some from the house, some from the grandparent's house and some from the barn itself. When he asked Oscar about them, Oscar responded that he needed them to protect himself from attacks. When his father asked from whom, Oscar responded that he had seen one of his college professors in the field of broccoli. That same day, Oscar's mother found notes stuffed between Oscar's mattress and box springs in Oscar's handwriting. The content of them was Oscar arguing with someone about killing his younger siblings. One side did not want to do it and begged to not have to; the other side ordered the killings, saying that was the only way to keep them safe. In light of these two events, both parents were afraid for Oscar to remain at the house. Oscar swore that he would never hurt any of his family and said that was why he had been keeping away from them. His parents could not be sure that no harm would come and were unable to watch Oscar day and night. Therefore, they readmitted him to the hospital.
During this admission, Oscar was more forthcoming with his treatment team. Once they had this additional information, the team realized that Oscar's initial diagnosis had been wrong. They began a re-assessment. Oscar acknowledged that the problems began about the time of the new semester. He was unable to complete his school work, as he was "consumed" with the need to follow instructions that were being given to him. These instructions actually began with a buzzing in his head, which quickly evolved into specific directions. When pressed, he acknowledged that he did not know who was giving him the directions, though he sometimes thought it might be Jesus. These instructions were for him to keep a log of every time he heard a door close on his hallway in the dorm. Oscar came to believe that doing this was the only way to keep his family safe from dark angels. Oscar tried to keep these voices quiet by smoking marijuana on a daily basis. While this helped in the short term, it also made it more difficult for him to complete any of his school work. By the time for spring break, the messages had begun to change. He was no longer able to keep his family safe by keeping a list; the voices told him he would have to kill them. Oscar knew that he did not want to kill his family. He could also not avoid going home for spring break. Therefore, he devised the plan to isolate himself.
Once the family recovered from their initial shock and as Oscar began to show some improvement with his new, anti-psychotic, medication, his parents and grandparents wanted to take him home to the farm. They believed that life on the farm, being outside and with hard, physical labor would cure Oscar. Finally, Oscar agreed to tell them what has been happening with him. At that point, the family agreed to residential treatment for Oscar. When asked if anyone else in the family has ever had symptoms like this, the grandfather acknowledged that he had a brother (Oscar's uncle) who had religious visions. This brother left the family and became a monk. Later the family heard that he had died under mysterious circumstances. One of the other monks at the monastery told Oscar's grandfather that his brother had died from engaging in a prolonged fast. The family is very lucky on two counts: 1) they have their medical insurance through the farmer's co-op and it includes coverage for residential treatment for up to a year, and 2) this hospital has a residential treatment unit for late adolescents and young adults. You are working as a counselor at the Residential Treatment facility where Oscar has been placed. He will be here for a minimum of 6 months and as long as one year. Professional staff at this facility includes 3 counselors, an addictions counselor, a social worker (currently on maternity leave), a psychologist, and 2 nurses on every shift. Oscar's psychiatrist is also on staff and will continue to follow his care.
The social worker usually coordinates clients' treatment plans; however she is currently away on maternity leave so you will be the lead therapist who is coordinating Oscar's treatment during the next 45 days. Once she returns, you will collaborate with her for developing Oscar's post-residential treatment and resources for him and his family.

9 retailers closing the most stores | Shopping & Services
9 retailers closing the most stores
Submitted by 11Alive News Staff
Thursday, March 13th, 2014, 6:46am
(USA TODAY) -- Brick-and-mortar retailers have been suffering from slow economic activity for years, as well as from increased competition from online retailers. The rise in store closings is a prominent sign of their struggles. Weakened companies cannot afford the real estate and personnel costs that go along with supporting hundreds of unprofitable locations. The clearest proof of the problem was RadioShack's recent decision to close more than 1,000 stores.
RadioShack is hardly alone. During that last several years Gap has closed 20% of its locations. Even Macy's, which has forecast strong earnings and is considered the most successful of the mid-market retailers, closed stores recently.
A number of factors can lead companies to close stores. One is mergers and acquisitions activity. As organizations join forces under a single umbrella, locations that once competed for sales can become redundant, leading to store closings. The most recent example of this is the marriage of Office Depot and OfficeMax, completed late last year. Management has made it plain that the merger would produce cost savings by consolidating jobs and closing stores.
The pressures businesses face from the growth of online retail is another factor that can contribute to store closings. In particular, the rise of Amazon.com, America's largest e-commerce operation, has turned the entire retail industry on its head.
Bookseller Barnes & Noble was one of the first companies to be threatened by Amazon.com, which originally began its operations as an online bookstore. Online retailers, Amazon.com cheif among them, accounted for 44% of book sales in 2012 according to Bowker, a bookseller consultancy. Many of these sales came at Barnes & Noble's expense, as the company's own e-book business has languished.
Staples is a more recent example of a company pressured by Amazon.com. Following two years of sales declines, the office supply retailer announced that it will close 225 stores by 2015, 12% of it's total store count.
Outside of those retailers undergoing mergers, or shrinking to limit costs and preserve their bottom lines, a number of retailers have had to shrink their store count in order to shift into new markets. Companies such as Abercrombie & Fitch and Aeropostale have are now competing with fast-fashion competitors such as H&M and Forever 21, which specialize in getting the latest trends from the runway to stores quickly and at low prices.
Companies close stores for different reasons. In the case of Sears Holdings, is likely to shutter a number of locations as part of a larger strategic overhaul to fund its transformation and make operations more efficient. Closing stores "frees up capital, reduces losses and de-risks our model," the company said in an earnings presentation.
In contrast, J.C. Penney is only closing stores that noticeably underperformed. The company's sales have fallen sharply since Ron Johnson, previously Apple's retail chief, took over as CEO nearly three years ago, and continue to have fallen since he was ousted by the board last year. But the company continues to make major investments in its conventional brick-and-mortar operations, and has only announced the closing of 33 out of more than 1,000 stores.
To determine the retailers closing the most stores, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed large retailers that have publicly announced store closings for 2014, or are in the middle of a multi-year plan to trim locations. In addition, we also reviewed company earnings and SEC filings.
These are the retailers closing the most stores.
1. Abercrombie & Fitch
Abercrombie & Fitch first announced its plans to close 180 stores by 2015 more than two years ago. In its most recent quarterly report, the company said it had closed 10 stores by November of last year and would close another 40 stores by the end of its fiscal year. This total does not include the 20 stand-alone Gilly Hicks brand stores, which the company also plans to shutter this year. Abercrombie & Fitch's stock has struggled, posting one of the largest declines in the S&P 500 during 2013. To improve performance, the retailer is planning to shift marketing for its Abercrombie & Fitch to older shoppers while transforming its Hollister stores to a fast-fashion approach in line with H&M and Zara. A succession plan for CEO Mike Jeffries is also in the works. Last year, shareholders from Engaged Capital publicly campaigned for Jefferies' dismissal, citing the retailer's failure to adapt to fast-fashion, and Jeffries' statements about excluding customers that he thought were too heavy for the brand.
Metro Atlanta locations: Arbor Place, Gwinnett Place Mall, Lenox Square, Mall of Georgia, North Point Mall, Perimeter Mall, Town Center at Cobb
2. Barnes & Noble
Early last year, Barnes & Noble announced plans to shut a third of its stores over the next 10 years. As of this January, the company had already closed some 14 retail locations, dropping its store count to 663 from the 677 it had when the announcement was first made. Particularly painful for many book-lovers, the retailer chose to close its one-time flagship store in New York City this January. While cost-cutting has helped the company post profits, by some measures the company's prognosis remains bleak. Book retail has increasingly shifted to online and e-books, dominated by Amazon.com. But while Amazon.com has noted strong sales of its Kindle e-reader, Barnes & Noble's own e-reader, the Nook, has struggled. Revenue of the bookstore's Nook division, which include hardware and digital sales, fell by more than 50% year-over-year, and the segment remains unprofitable.
Metro Atlanta locations: Ashley Park Mall, Athens, The Avenue West Cobb, The Collection at Forsyth, Cumberland, Edgewood Retail District, The Forum on Peachtree Parkway, Mall of Georgia, Mansell Crossings, Peachtree Road, Perimeter, Riverbend Market Place, The Shoppes at Webb Gin, Southlake, Town Center Prado
3. Aéropostale
Aéropostale is the in the midst of closing 40 to 50 stores in 2014, and plans to shutter some 175 stores in total over the next few years. The teen clothing retailer's net income dropped to $34.92 million in 2013 from $229.5 million in 2010, and its EBITDA fell to $157.89 million last year from $435.45 million in 2010. Pressure from competitors such as Gap and Abercrombie & Fitch, as well as declining mall sales, has driven the company's share price from $32.08 in 2010 to $7 as of March 2014. Private equity firm Hirzel acquired 6% of Aéropostale in November 2013. Currently, the company is rumored to be in talks with Barclays Plc. because it is seeking either additional financing or to be acquired. Aéropostale's fast-fashion shipment model, which it took up last year, has largely been unsuccessful.
Metro Atlanta locations: Arbor Place, Ashley Park Mall, Cumberland Mall, Georgia Square Mall, Gwinnett Place Mall, Lenox Square, The Mall at Stonecrest, Mall of Georgia, Mount Berry Square, North Point Mall, The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta, Perimeter Mall, The Shoppes at Webb Gin, Southlake Mall, Tanger Outlets Locust Grove, Town Center at Cobb
4. J.C. Penney
After J.C. Penney's sales began to steadily decline, the company tasked Ron Johnson, formerly retail head at Apple, with reinventing the retailer's pricing strategy, only to see sales, earnings, and cash flow fall off a cliff. After years of avoiding closing stores, the company has recently said it would be shuttering several locations. At the start of 2014, J.C. Penney announced 33 store closings, to be completed by May, leading to the loss of about 2,000 jobs. Some investors and pundits believe the company has not been aggressive enough in cutting stores. As of November, the company had 1,095 department stores, down only slightly from past years. Not all news has been bad for the retailer, which reported surprisingly strong earnings in February. Additionally, Standard & Poor's recently upgraded the retailer's credit outlook, although it noted changes will still be necessary to improve its credit long-term.
Metro Atlanta locations: Arbor Place, Ashley Park Mall, Banks Crossing, Georgia Square, Gwinnett Place Mall, Hiram Square, Lakeshore Mall, The Mall at Stonecrest, Mall of Georgia, Mount Berry Square, Northlake Mall, North Point Mall, South Point, Town Center at Cobb
5. Office Depot
Office Depot merged with rival OfficeMax in November. Since the merger, the company has been cutting jobs at its Boca Raton, Fla., headquarters. The next stage in integrating the two retailers, the company has stated, will be to cut store count. CEO Roland Smith admitted the company's merger was difficult for many workers, telling the Orlando Sun-Sentinel that "it is difficult to focus on business when your personal future is uncertain." The company had 1,912 retail stores at the end of its latest fiscal year, including 823 OfficeMax stores. Since the merger, the company has closed 15 of its Office Depot stores and seven OfficeMax locations.
Metro Atlanta locations: Alpharetta Highway, Ashley Park Mall, Atlanta Highway, Barrett Parkway, Briarcliff Village, Browns Bridge, Buckhead Crossing, Cobb Parkway, The District at Howell Mill, Dogwood Drive, Edgewood Plaza, Highway 85, Holcomb Woods, Lakeland Plaza, Market Square, McIntosh Village, Memorial Drive, Molly Lane, Mount Zion, North Cobb Parkway, Parkside Walk, Peachtree Industrial, Peachtree Square (Midtown), Peachtree Square (Norcross), Perimeter Pointe, The Plaza at Windward, Providence Square, Roswell Road, Sandy Plains, Scenic Highway, Shops at Tara, Spring Street, State Bridge, Stone Mountain Highway, Suwanee Depot, Thornton Road, Toco Hill
6. RadioShack
During the Super Bowl, RadioShack attempted to poke fun at itself, running an ad touting its store remodelling that playfully referenced the store's reputation as a throwback to the 1980s. But a reinvention alone may not save the electronics retailer — its previous attempt at rebranding itself as "The Shack" never caught on. The retailer recently announced it would close 1,100 out of its more-than 5,000 stores. The company has deemed these closings as critical to its cash-management and turnaround plans, which it hopes would help reverse recent poor results. Both the company's top and bottom lines have declined considerably in recent years, and its operating cash flow is also down from years past. The fourth quarter of last year, which coincides with the holiday season, was especially troubling. Sales declined 19% at stores open at least a year because of lower foot traffic and weak performance in mobile sales.
Metro Atlanta locations: Ansley Mall, Arbor Place, Ashley Park Mall, Beaver Ruin, Beechwood, Buckhead Crossing, Buford Drive, Cascade Crossing, Centre at Lovejoy, Chamblee Plaza, Cobb Parkway, Dixie Street, East Athens Marketplace, Fairington Centre, Fayette Pavillion, The Gallery at South DeKalb Mall, Georgia Square, Greenbriar Mall, Henry Town Center, Heritage Hill, Highland Station, Highway 27, Highway 138, Hiram Pavilion, Hudson Plaza, Lawrenceville-Suwanee, The Mall at Stonecrest, The Mall West End, Marietta Trade Center, Market Place, Mays Point, Newton Plaza, Northlake Mall, Peachtree City, Perimeter Mall, Roswell Road, Scenic Highway, Shoppes at Trickum, Shorter Avenue, Southlake Mall, Stone Mountain Highway, Sugarloaf Mills, Toco Hill, Village Gate, West Cobb
7. Sears Holdings
Sears has been heading downhill since 2005, when Wall Street billionaire Edward Lampert merged Sears Roebuck & Co. with Kmart in a deal worth $11 billion. Since 2010, the company has closed roughly 300 stores. One of the few surges in the company's share price came at the end of January, after it announced the closing of its flagship store in Chicago in April. Shedding its assets has been a major part of the company's business for years. The company has not only dumped stores, but entire businesses, including Orchard Supplies Hardware Stores, Sears Hometown & Outlet Stores, Lands End, and a part of its stake in Sears Canada. Cowen analyst John Kernan recently noted that he expected Sears Holdings to close an additional 500 stores going-forward.
Metro Atlanta locations: Arbor Place, Cumberland Mall, East Cobb, Georgia Square, Gwinnett Place Mall, Lakeshore Mall, The Mall at Stonecrest, Mount Berry Square, Mountain Industrial, Northlake Mall, North Point Mall, Southlake Mall, Southlake Pavilion, Sugarloaf Mills, Town Center at Cobb.
8. Staples
Staples recently announced plans to close 225 stores, or roughly 12% of its total count, by the end of 2015. The closures reflect both the company's struggling sales totals, as well as its shift away from brick-and-mortar business to online retail. In its recent earnings release, the company said almost half of its sales come from online orders, and store closures reflect an opportunity to save money while improving the company's bottom line. This is not the first time headwinds have lead the company to close stores. In 2012, Staples shut 60 stores, mostly in Europe, as part of its plans to cut costs. The company referred to its shift to online sales.
Metro Atlanta locations: Banks Crossing, Cobb Parkway, Cumming Town Center, Dallas Highway, Dogwood Drive, Highway 9, Hugh Howell, Jimmy Lee Smith Parkway, Johns Creek Town Center, Jonesboro Road, Loganville Highway, Main Street East, Mall of Georgia, Marketplace Boulevard, Market Place Connector, Mount Zion, North Point, Peachtree Road, Pleasant Hill, Ponce de Leon, The Prado, Riverstone Parkway, Scenic Highway, Shorter Avenue, Stonecrest Marketplace, South Park Street, Woodstock Road
9. Toys "R" Us
A Toys "R" Us was taken private by a consortium of companies in 2005. Nearly a decade later, disagreements among the company's ownership and a high debt burden have weighed down the retailer. In all, Toys "R" Us spent nearly three years trying to time an IPO, before backtracking last May. In early March of this year, industry sources told The Record's NorthJersey.com that the company would soon close some 100 stores. Whether or not the company decides to close stores, major changes may be needed. Real estate giant Vornado, one of the three co-owners of Toys "R" Us, recently announced a more than $240 million writedown on its investment in the company. Among the reasons it gave were the company's 2013 holiday sales results, "and our inability to forecast a recovery in the near term."

As business mums, many of us never intended it that way.. we had "proper" jobs, and ordinary working hours, conformed roles..
Sometimes as mummies, the role far more important than any job, we felt that this job, even if it was a career we trained for, was not suitable for the life of our families.
In other cases, we have had a business that grew out of a talent.
In any case, before we left secure income, we had to weigh up the pros and cons of this serious decision. For some mums, they take a huge cut in income, and this is balanced by the lack of childcare costs, and the fact they can work everything around their family.

After a two-year program review, the English department is changing the requirements for its specialist and major programs, effective for this year's enrolment. The department is also introducing more courses that focus on broader themes.
The changes are intended to allow for more flexibility through decreased breadth requirements within the program and a clearer path for students to choose courses. The department has also introduced an Indigenous and postcolonial literature requirement.
The new requirements will apply to all students enrolling in English programs beginning in 2018, and current students in the program will be able to switch to the new requirements if they are interested.
One of the significant changes to the program is adapting 300-level courses to cover broader themes in literature instead of specific historical periods or authors, as is currently the case.
The program will also include four new "gateway courses" that are intended to give English students a strong background in the major areas of English literature and help them succeed in upper-level courses. These courses will be the first required English courses and will be designed to foster a sense of community for the specialist and major students who take them.
Three new courses will be introduced to help increase interest in English programs, including a course geared toward science students called Literature and the Sciences.
In addition to making changes to the program, Lopez said that the changes are also set against the backdrop of decreasing student enrolment in English programs over the past five years.
"The current curriculum has been around for 10 years, and usually curriculums have about a 10 year life," explained Lopez.
Elena Matas, a third-year English student, believes that the changes strike a good balance between giving students freedom of choice and providing them with a clear trajectory.


The rectangle, in the unit coordinate space, that defines the portion of the layer's contents that should be used.
Now run project again, you can see that our image scrolls alongside with scrollview but with different speed.
Voila! You has just finished your parallax view. Now play with the offset and factor value inside scrollViewDidScroll to make your own adjustment. This effect can be easily implemented in any scrollable container, which will adapt the similar scroll event handling like above. Parallax effect for iOS is somehow an interesting way for developers to gain attraction from users.
You can get source code for project at part-2 tag in GitHub.
In next post, we will implement another form of parallax effect, similar to iOS7 background view and use a video for experiment instead.


Up to this point attaching the elevators to the stabilizer has gone very smoothly. Counter balances and trailing edges lined up, spacing at the counter balances is 1/8", drilling the hole in the horns went just as planned, and movement is very smooth. What could go wrong? !!
The problem I'm having is the space between the elevator horns and the main bearing is not enough to fit the required hardware between. In searching the form and multiple web sites, looks like most who've had an issue have had the opposite problem.
At issue is the spacing between the horn and the bearing is .0633 (about 1/16) and .033 (about 1/32). The space needed is .095 (about 3/32). Not sure how any of this can be moved or what I did wrong. Pictures below.
Assuming you can use a 5702 washer to fill the gap, just do that. You will be fine.
I had the exact same issue so dont feel bad.
I've written about proper shiimming of the center bearing a few times over the years, bottom line: install whatever washers/shims are req'd to fill the gap completely so that when you tighten the center bolt it does not preload the hinge bearings!
Many thanks. Relieved to hear it's as simple as using some additional 5702 washers. Didn't know if the NAS1149 washer was required for some reason.
Ordered some additional 5702-95-30 washers this AM.
You only need one 5702 on each side against the bearing. This large area washer keeps the bearing "intact" should it fail. You can use any thin washer/shim against it. More than one 5702 is just fine too but I thought you might want to know it's purpose in case you didn't.
You probably have a standard AN960L (thin) washer in your kit.

Lucrecia Martel: The Headless Woman (2008)--NYFF
Post subject: Lucrecia Martel: The Headless Woman (2008)--NYFF
Personal guilt and class malaise
The Argentinian director Lucrecia Martel, whose multiple-voice films The Swamp and The Holy Child won her an international following, turns to the interior psychology of a single woman with this new feature. Whether she succeeds as well with this new one, The Headless Woman/La mujer sin cabeza, is an immediate question given predominantly negative reviews at this year's Cannes Festival, where it was booed at a press screening. The critics nonetheless acknowledged the film's stylistic elegance; and Salon's O'Hehir, an American defender, wrote, "no one could argue that it's incompetent or implausible, or that it lacks thematic and artistic coherence." He insisted "people just didn't get what Martel was driving at, and that clearly bothered them." Of course it would, because despite the director's thinking this her clearest film, it has communication problems—which do not detract from its interest, however—and material for debate: what Martel sees as a study of class, Variety describes as "a psychological thriller." It's hard for viewers to see eye to eye, which is fine, but what's less fortunate is the failure to engage of the low-keyed film.
The Headless Woman begins by showing a group of urchins playing riskily by a road adjoining a canal. Later a huge rainstorm comes that causes cars to be disabled and its effect becomes important later. Along comes Veronica (the excellent, well cast Maria Onetto), a well-off dentist in a nice car driving at high speed, and she hits something big, but instead of investigating she stops, obviously shaken, and drives on to town to a hospital where she's scheduled for an X-ray. She later has a sex date with Juan Manuel (Daniel Genoud) at a hotel, but she acts dazed and disconnected, evidently deeply shaken ever since whatever happened on the road. This like Martel's previous works (especially The Swamp) has a whole network of people and relationships, this time a little more vague because seen through Vero's confused eyes. She leaves things and people hanging, often not even speaking and appearing to have lost her reason. Her husband Marcos (Cesar Bordon), also a dentist, offers to take on her most serious cases. She runs errands involving plants and jars for a patio. A gardener digs in the patio and finds remnants of a pool. Women friends gossip about a new swimming pool someone they know has built near a veterinary hospital and in one scene they're all there, gossiping even more.
Various friends and family members live nearby and come and go, or meet at the new pool. Juan Manuel is married to Josefina (Claudia Cantero), who is sister or cousin, perhaps, and Josefina is the mother of a plain teenager with hepatitis, Candita (Ines Efron) who has lesbian longings for Veronica. The latter has two daughters with Marcos who flit by briefly. The point may be that to Veronica none of these people really quite matter, but in the small-town Argentinian environment of these well-off people, there's no escaping them.
Finally Veronica declares to her husband and a relative that she killed someone on the road, a boy. They hasten to clear this up and say she's just imagined it. They drive to the road and find only a dead dog—seen from Veronica's car earlier--the camera never shows a person on the road. From now on Veronica is coherent and sure of herself again. Her hair was bleach blond, and she now dyes it black.
A statement by the director reveals she has herself occasionally had nightmares in which she fears she has killed someone; one involved a corpse whose severed head she tried to hide. She has also commented on the growing gap between rich and poor in Argentina in recent decades.
A suggested subtext here is of upper class guilt, a crime against the poor that cannot be forgiven but is also never fully acknowledged. Veronica and her family are constantly shown being cared for and ministered to by servants and employees or simply poor people who pass by looking for work, to cart things back and forth or wash an SUV—people who, however, don't emerge as distinctive characters.
Martel's films are good at conveying everyday confusion, families always partly in motion and partly still, lost souls. Her scenes have the specificity of random elements; they don't seem deterministic or over-calculated. She has a distinctive way of framing interiors with unconventional camera placements, and a fine sense of color. The acting here is uniformly good. There is a sense of terrible moral confusion and an anomie almost worthy of Antonioni, a mood only heightened by all the bustling about of people around the distrought and distracted central character,who seems uniquely present for being so detached. But Antonioni has been done better by Antonioni, and though it's no crime that the thriller element fizzles, the film, despite its elegant texture, finds no clear note to end on. Finally it turns out there was a body found in the canal, but it's never clear exactly what Veronica actually hit.

Enough is Enough: The Crusades and The Jihad Are Not Equivalents
First, the historical facts: a long "train of abuses", to borrow Jefferson's phrase, preceded the launching of the First Crusade in 1096. Since its very inception, Islam had waged an unremitting war against Christianity. It conquered and subjugated centuries-old Christian societies in the Middle East and North Africa. After sweeping through France, the Muslim advance was finally checked by Charles Martel at the Battle of Tours in 732. Following this, Muslim aggression against Christians continued in southern Italy, with the conquest of Sicily in 827. Resistance to these repeated acts of aggression was not characterized as a "crusade", but simply necessary self-defense.
Over the next centuries, the Seljuq Turks, who converted to Islam, waged war against the Eastern Christian Byzantine Empire. At the Battle of Manzikert in 1071, the Turks wiped out the Byzantine army, leaving Emperor Alexius Commenus helpless before a relentless and determined foe. Not long after this, he sent envoys to Pope Urban II pleading for military aid. The Council of Clermont was called by the pope in 1095, in which he addressed the clergy, knights, and commoners who had assembled. To the knights especially his words were both reproving and encouraging:
You, the oppressers of children, plunderers of widows; you, guilty of homicide, of sacrilege, robbers of another's rights; you who await the pay of thieves for the shedding of Christian blood — as vultures smell fetid corpses, so do you sense battles from afar and rush to them eagerly. Verily, this is the worst way, for it is utterly removed from God! if, forsooth, you wish to be mindful of your souls, either lay down the girdle of such knighthood, or advance boldly, as knights of Christ, and rush as quickly as you can to the defense of the Eastern Church. For she it is from whom the joys of your whole salvation have come forth, who poured into your mouths the milk of divine wisdom, who set before you the holy teachings of the Gospels.
What was at stake was nothing less than the preservation of Christianity, and the civilization which had, even if imperfectly, sought to embody its teachings in the world.

Ingrid Andress Is Keeping Country Music Relevant
The Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter takes a non-traditional approach to the genre.

If you think of country music as staid and traditional, Ingrid Andress wants you to reconsider. A singer-songwriter at the vanguard of the genre's latest metamorphosis, Andress croons about heartbreak, family drama, and unwinding with a good glass of tequila—all with a contemporary, feminist spin. Before the release of her new short film, A Lady Like That—which just premiered on Amazon Music and documents her experience at the 2021 Grammys, where she was nominated for three awards, including Best New Artist and Best Country Album for her debut record Lady Like—Andress spoke to W for our annual Music Issue. Here, she opens up about collaborating with Charli XCX, sneakily listening to pop-punk as a kid, and her thoughts on how country music is always evolving.
Lady Like, your debut country album, just garnered three Grammy nominations. Before that, you were known for writing songs for other artists in a variety of musical genres, including "Boys," which you cowrote for Charli XCX. How did writing for other artists affect how you found your own voice?
When you write from your perspective, even for artists who are completely different from you, it does not matter what genre you are. If it is a universal feeling, then it is all the same. At the end of the day, it comes down to the song and people's stories.
You grew up in Colorado, were planning to move to Los Angeles, and then settled in Nashville about seven years ago. Growing up, did you always know you wanted to be a musician?
I always wanted to be a performer and an artist, but I wanted to take the time to learn how to write my own songs before I did that. By working with other artists and writing for them, I learned what would work for me. For a while, I didn't think I was an artist, because I was working with all of these people who did not really have an opinion or a perspective. And I was just like, Well, I have lots of opinions, so I must not be an artist, because it is hard for me to not express myself. But I finally was just like, Oh, well, maybe that is actually what makes you an artist.
Who were your biggest musical influences when you were growing up?
My parents were very conservative, so they were really, really strict on what we were allowed to listen to. I had friends in my neighborhood burn me CDs, and I secretly listened to them. Garth Brooks, Blink-182, Slipknot—it was all over the place. The music I gravitated toward had strong emotion in it: the Chicks, John Denver, Amy Grant. Whitney Houston is probably my favorite female vocalist of all time, along with Faith Hill. I wanted to be Faith Hill. I loved any artist where you could hear the emotion in their voice and be like, This makes me feel something, even though I have never been through this before in my whole life, because I am 10 years old, but for some reason, I am upset now that I have listened to this song.
Have you noticed a change in the general public's perception of what constitutes country music during your career? Your sound crosses over from country to pop to folk, and your lyrics have a very outspoken, feminist appeal.
Country, if people really think about it, has always been sort of a genre-bending category. Look at Johnny Cash. He came to Nashville and everybody was like, "You are not country." Even stuff that Dolly Parton was singing about and doing back then, they were just like, "That is controversial; that is not the country we want." It is a cycle that keeps happening, and to me, that is what keeps it exciting and relevant to society. If anything, the genre is notorious for expanding and just keeping up with what is happening in people's lives.
