1. Universal MarketsThe quality of meat items intended to retail, food catering and discretion markets may be affected by several outside impacts before they truly enter into the UK food distribution network. The very first of these is of program the degree of availability within the universal livestock market. This has a knock on consequence with the rate of meat, the amount which is available within the market and also the size of primals which are placed in to the distribution chain. Whether the product is a roasting joint, chops, dice or meats it is reliant to some degree on the quality of the muscles from which the item is taken. The rate of meat worldwide has been on the boost in current years, a trend which does not look like altering, which places extra stress on those included at all phases of the meat circulation chain.When that meat has actually entered the UK market, it will generally be additional refined or indeed entirely processed within this nation, taking the meat primals down to the demanded cuts as well as completed products. We have actually performed 1000s of meat high quality guarantee inspections over times as well as this is the short-list of likely top quality elements within the UK meat quantity chain.2. TeamGood personnel are, as we all know, extremely tough to locate and even more difficult to maintain. This is of course true in the meals sector, and also absolutely has an impact on the quality of meat handling. The top quality of finished products such as meats and also chops depend upon exact cutting by personnel that understand just what is counted on the item, as well as poor top quality cutting could lead to wedge cut steaks, underweight items, substantial fat left on a trimmed item, and item which is also thick, as well skinny or just extremely irregular in its demonstration. This latter can easily be a certain issue in the wedding catering sphere where consistency around neighbouring platters is crucial.3. WrappingThis should much more truly be titled Packaging and Understanding the Attributes of the Wrapping, as vacuum product packaging and also measured ambiences could have an interesting effect on the top quality of fresh meat, specifically in the visual look if not the actual eating high quality. A beef steak stored and also distributed in vacuum could establish over time a remarkably guaranteed green hue, which may make the product seem especially bad quality, only to discover that it may completely regain its appetising look looked at under a different light source, or after being left out of the product packaging for the advised time duration complying with removal of the wrapping as well as direct exposure of the item to oxygen. The measured environment in plastic trays utilized for jam-packing joints may lead to a comparable discolouration when the meat comes into contact with the side of the plastic container.Further than the cosmetic, nevertheless, the packing of meat items can easily have a substantial influence on high quality in the kind of sets which do not make it through the distribution chain intact, and also which have a tendency to be declined at the first phase of exposure no matter the certain industry of the food market they are supplied to. We approximate that passing sets of meat due to either not enough option of materials, imperfect execution of the packaging process or bad management of the packs within the distribution chain make up roughly 30 % of all reduced as well as rejected meat within the UK food catering and also leisure sector, based upon the searchings for of our top quality examinations over the past many years.4. Exactly what to Look ForThis is a list of exactly what your QA group ought to concentrate on when examining their meat shipments, once more based on the encounter we have of performing meat quality assurance shows for meals teams over the previous 20ish years. This is not comprehensive, yet if you deal with these points of meat quality within your food circulation chain you will certainly be on the best keep track of.WeightFat and Visual LeanCutting criteriaPackingGristleJust how much of this is your QA group competent to analyze and recognize?

Back in 1998, a report from respected consumer organisation 'Which?' highlight payment protection insurance (PPI) as being expensive and ineffective. It drew attention to a product that would become infamous and one that would keep lashing out at the British banking industry until the PPI deadline August 2019.
But it wasn't until 2011, 13 years after this initial report was published, that PPI compensation would start to flow back to customers. In the intervening years, firms and banks were fined for mis-selling of PPI - Barclays was recently fined again, in 2018, for breaching compensation rules relating to PPI - it took years of arguments and judicial reviews before the banks came to the same conclusions as everyone else.
And that was, PPI was and had been mis-sold on a gargantuan scale and customers were entitled to their money back.
PPI added to the cost of the loan, in some cases by as much as 20%. There were some cases of loans in which PPI double the cost. This expensive addition to a loan meant that many people soon struggled to repay the loan that they had opted for.
In many cases, fees and costs were also added to the loan when PPI premiums pushed people over their agreed credit limit.
Insurance products are meant to offer peace of mind to customers that they have major events in their lives covered by a financial product. For example, home insurance in the case of burglary or fire.
Although we expect these policies to have terms and conditions, we expect them to be fair. It was found that in the case of PPI, it was structured in a way to limit the chances of someone making a claim.
There are many reasons why PPI was mis-sold to customers but the one that was highlighted in parliament back in 2011 was that customers were being told that PPI was "essential". In other words, people were told that it was compulsory or given the impression that it was.
Customers were also given the impression or even told that their application for credit stood a better chance if they took out the policy alongside their loan.
For those who did attempt to claim on their PPI policy in the case of genuine illness, they found a process littered with lengthy delays and complicated forms.
In other words, it was incredibly difficult to make a claim on PPI and with only 15% of claims being successful, it gives you a clearer picture of how poor a product PPI was. Was it sold to you?

My grandmother's chopped liver, a miracle never repeated in my lifetime, was smooth, addictive and so delicious that I could completely disregard the fact that it was made largely of chicken livers and rendered chicken fat, along with some egg and onion.

According to the Los Angeles Police Department, there are a multitude of reasons why a person would continue contact with their abuser. Abusers have effects on their victims and their are multitudes of reasons people choose to stay. Hidden Hurt reports that a victim of continued relationship abuse is assaulted on average 35 times before reporting it to anyone. At that point, it can be incredibly hard to walk away on a dime.
There's also a passive form of "staying" or keeping contact with an abuser thanks to social media. Though victims don't have to directly talk to their abuser, they still allow their abuser to be a part of their lives and news feeds. There are a multitude of reasons that a victim might keep their abuser on social media.
I lived in a great amount of fear for a long time that he was going to show up somewhere and I wouldn't be prepared for it. I told myself that as long as I kept him on my page that I would know exactly where he was. Though in denial, I used this fear to perpetuate a growing toxic cycle. I'm not alone in that mentality.
Sometimes survivors feel as if they can "prove it" to their abuser that they are doing okay. Social media is all about sharing great things happening with your network. It was increasingly hard to remember that life without my abuser should have been just that. I wanted to show him that I was working hard, in school, laughing it up with my friends all the time. I wasn't. I was still trying to heal and not doing a good job.
RAINN knows that 70% of abuse victims experience moderate to severe distress. This can include anxiety, PTSD, or flashbacks. It's very easy to click the link of an abuser's name and read through their feed. Look at their photos. Wonder if they think about the pain they caused. However, this kind of behavior (though often quick and silent) can only worsen these kinds of struggles. Creeping can trigger or continue flashbacks, which can elevate anxiety levels.
AVFTI is not here to promise everything will be okay the second you hit that "block" button. What we can do is provide you a place to connect with other survivors who may be struggling with the same problems you are. The digital world is a tricky place to live. We want you to be as healthy as possible.
If you're struggling and would like to share your story, you can do so here.


Michael McFadyen's Scuba Diving - Njanjelakalau Island Njanjelakalau Island is a small island located in the Florida Islands group of the Solomon Islands. Accessed for diving purposes from Maravagi Resort, the island is about 11 kilometres to the south-west of the resort. It is a 15 minute run to the island.
The dive here is a drift dive. The main spot is on the eastern side of the island. We entered the water at the south-east corner and drifted north. At this spot there is a wall to 40 metres and then a slope that goes to well over 60 metres. The current was with us shallower but over 50 metres it was against us. Very strange.
The terrain below 40 metres was a lot like Stony Creek at Jervis Bay in New South Wales. There were lots of sponges, small gorgonias and seawhips. Great! We saw three grey reef sharks deeper and as we came shallower, three clown triggerfish. Above 40 metres the gorgonias are huge, more than two metres across.
Further along the wall there is an indent in the wall and some small caves. Once you round the point and start heading west, there are many more cracks and gutters in the wall and reef. The depth comes up to under 30 metres. This is probably as far as you will get and there are some nice reefs in the five to ten metre range.
Visibility was very nice, over 30 metres. Water temperature about 28°C.


THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF MY YEAR.
Essay Writing with CaraThere are very few things I enjoy more than assisting high school seniors in writing their college-application essays. To be sure, this task, which I have undertaken each year for about three decades, is challenging, but it is always rewarding in the end.
My busy season begins (in the case of ambitious teens) in August and ends, quite often (but always—and only—with respect to less motivated students), the day before their applications are due. The prepared student arrives for our first session with a rough draft of his essay in his summer-tanned hands. He has chosen the topic for his essay with great care, selected his approach to it, and requires of me merely a few suggestions for improvement. However, I meet with such students only once in a blue moon.
The kids who seek my help are primarily those who need some hand-holding while choosing a topic or deciding how to develop that topic, and who agonize over almost every word in every sentence. Some parents ask me why their child's first session with me sometimes yields not a single written word. I don't question their right to inquire; after all, in hiring me, they agree to part with no small number of their hard-earned dollars. They generally accept the fact that in my first meeting with their child, I need to learn a lot about him: What are his interests? About what things is he passionate? How strong is his command of spoken language? Does he like to write? Because my initial encounter with their child is basically a fact-finding mission, I never charge them a penny for it. In fact, though, that meeting, whether it lasts 15 minutes or 45, is by far the most important, at least from my point of view. By that meeting's end, I can predict, almost to the minute, how long and how often he and I will need to meet before his major essay is polished and ready for submission to the colleges of his choice.
Over the years, suggested topics for college-app essays have changed, but not dramatically. There is always what I call a "freestyle" topic; the student is asked to describe a significant event in his life or something about himself that sets him apart from others. Interestingly, many of the students with whom I've worked over the years ignore the single most significant thing I learned about them in our initial meeting, one of the reasons why I deem the introductory encounter so critical to the rest of our working relationship.
You'll have to excuse me now, as I have to sign off. I have an appointment this afternoon with a senior whose essay is finally almost ready to submit. I wonder what the admissions committee will think of him while they read about the hilarious "season of his discontent," when he, a dedicated vegan, accepted the only summer job he could find, as a busboy at Big Lou's Steak House. I'm pretty sure he'll be dropping me a line in a year or so from his first-choice school.

[00:00:22] Eric Goranson: Is putting the garland on that stair banister, it can look really cool. It can get in the way of safety. The last thing I want to do is to see grandma going upstairs to use the bathroom over the holidays. She grabs a hold of that, can't get her hand around that railing, and then all of a sudden, She's sliding, slip and falling, and uh, we got a broken hip.
[00:01:05] Eric Goranson: Can't believe it's Thanksgiving weekend. Black Friday. Sales are going out there. Everybody's having a crazy good time out there. We are knee deep in the holiday season. And first, if you wanna get ahold of us here at the show, make sure you can head over to around the house online.com. Or if you're listening on the radio, you can always catch us on the podcast or any other social media channel out there.
[00:01:42] Eric Goranson: So there's a lot of things when it comes down to putting up, we're just gonna call 'em Christmas lights today cuz that's what they're most generally known as. Not trying to offend anybody out there. And if not, well we're talking Christmas lights. Here's the thing, one of the biggest problems I see and questions that I get this time of [00:02:00] year is I have had the lights plugged in, they're plugged into the wall, and now I have no power.
[00:02:32] Eric Goranson: Now, one thing that I'll tell you, GFCs are a wearable part. Sometimes if it's a cheap one, five years, it's a good one. You can get 15 out of 'em. But many times by the 10 year mark, they trip really easily and it's something to take a look at. Now, if it's a newer home, it could behave an a fault or something like that.
[00:03:11] Eric Goranson: One of the biggest ones that I've seen running that extension cord under your garage door, maybe even through a window garage. Guys, I can tell you what it's going to be a problem. I had a family friend felt so bad about it, has his collector cars in the garage. He didn't unfortunately have insurance on these three cars, and he had an extension cord going underneath the garage door.
[00:03:58] Eric Goranson: That's where you can run into [00:04:00] some serious problems. So let's talk about cords a little bit here too. Now you need to get the right size cord. If you're using L e D lights, it doesn't take much, but that doesn't mean you go out and use those. You know ungrounded lamp cords. Can I tell you how many times I saw people when I was into the big box store this last weekend, getting some Christmas lights, clips from my house?
[00:04:43] Eric Goranson: You know, if you just gotta extend a lamp out, it's one thing, but that is not meant for an exterior application by any means. That's how somebody gets hurt. So just make sure with that, The right thing here is that when you're looking at these things, get the right [00:05:00] length of exterior cord. And then one of the things that I do before I even get the lights up there is I have a way to switch that off and on.
[00:05:26] Eric Goranson: So I'm not gonna go over and spend the time on that. But what do I do? I have one of those Lutron smart outdoor plugins. It's great. So it looks like a, a little, you know, eight inch plugin that goes right into my outlet Christmas lights plug in the other side. And it is a smart switch, so it goes under my smart home stuff.
[00:06:05] Eric Goranson: You can set it up so it shuts off every night. But for me, I can go dust it on and keep it though, so I have a little more light out there. Works out really well and it's automatic, super easy. Set it up once and I could forget. And that makes it really easy. So much better than those regular outdoor timers that you used to have where you had to set the little pins and stuff on 'em.
[00:06:42] Eric Goranson: Uh, I saw this one at Home Depot and I wanted to try it out. So it is a pole and a clip that says you don't have to get up on the ladder to hang your Christmas lights. And then, ah, 30 bucks. Let's give it a shot. I'm gonna give it a C because that clip system that [00:07:00] you see, it's a red pole. Not gonna get into brand names cuz it's not a commercial for them.
[00:07:29] Eric Goranson: I'll tell you what, I would be struggling if I was trying to do my second story gutters in a lot of my area because I only have gutters on certain sides. Only about half of my house has those gutters, and so it worked out pretty well across the front of my garage. But on the rest of the stuff, not a chance.
[00:08:14] Eric Goranson: Jingle around to get that thing snapped in there. Not as easy. So it's um, there's gotta be a better system out there that is not. That's something to think about, you know? And make sure too, that when you're doing these lights, and we're gonna talk about this more, but this year I put in new Christmas lights because they had about four years on 'em, and for the price of lights out there at four years, I just kind of decided to change 'em out and do an upgrade because, It's cheaper and they end up looking better.
[00:09:05] Eric Goranson: So make sure that you don't keep those up. I've seen too many people out there that keep 'em up year after year, and if you didn't go out and spend a thousand bucks on those things and get the commercial ones, that could be a huge problem. I wanna see you burn the house down. This is, uh, the thing that we're not trying to do this year is to do that.
[00:09:43] Eric Goranson: All right, we come back. We'll have more of around the house just as soon as we return. Be loud. Be so hot.[00:10:00]
[00:10:24] Eric Goranson: I wanted to talk this segment about ladder safety cuz it's an important one and. There's some cool applications out there now. I really like using the right ladder for the job. What I mean by that is not standing on the place that says do not step. I know I'm done it myself. Guilty is charged, but it's something you gotta be really careful with because I know people, heck, I had a buddy, I was over helping him in his, uh, his house, sitting there trimming some bushes, and, uh, he's about 10 years older than me.
[00:11:09] Eric Goranson: And if you've got that big extension ladder out, there's some easy answers that really make it easy and it's awesome. There is an app for your phone. Ladder safety. It's the NAO N I O S H, ladder Safety app. And here's what's cool that it gives you tips on the ladder. You can actually set your phone on the rung of the ladder and it's going to tell you if you have it at the right angle or not.
[00:11:52] Eric Goranson: And you've got some sketchy places to do it. There's kind of three ways that'll help you do that one well, that's the easy one. Hire [00:12:00] somebody to come do it, let them deal with it. Number two is I have gone over to my local tool, rental place and rented one of the, um, lifts and I've actually lifted the lift up and put up there and rode the lift up and put 'em up.
[00:12:34] Eric Goranson: It's a pretty smart way to go, is to sit there when you're getting that roof put on or, and do it even after the fact. Put in some fall protection device hooks. Get those dialed in, get that ready to go. Because here's the cool thing with that. If you go in there and put those safety hooks in, and they're pretty easy to get, you can buy 'em as one big.
[00:13:06] Eric Goranson: Uh, it's something I'm gonna do mine one of these days because it's just easy. And uh, when I put the new roof on, it's gonna be one of those things. I'm gonna throw those up to those guys and say, while you're at it, put it in and that way it's gonna keep. Save when I'm up on that roof cuz the last thing I need to do is get hurt, then I can't be doing this show.
[00:13:41] Eric Goranson: If something stupid happened, wind blows the ladder over. Something goofy happens. You have somebody to assist. Or worse, if you get yourself in a bad situation or hurt, they can actually call the ambulance, call nine one one for you in case something bad happens. Now, there are some other cool little things out there when you're working on stuff, and I [00:14:00] like this, like my Apple Watch for instance.
[00:14:27] Eric Goranson: Again, stupid stuff happens. I've fallen off six foot step ladders before shouldn't happen, but it happens. So just make sure that you're doing it correctly and that's gonna keep you safe. That's gonna be one of those things you can do and make sure out there that it's that grass. It's having a good ladder, and make sure that you're on up that ladder, that you're not overloading that ladder.
[00:15:15] Eric Goranson: So they can sit there and get to the point where they're gonna fail prematurely beyond their rating. That's why a lot of companies you see, I mean, I've got a really nice ladder here that. I think it was Verizon or one of those guys, they, every couple, two or three years, they swapped their ladders out and put new ones in, get new safety stuff for 'em.
[00:15:49] Eric Goranson: And it was good for me cuz I got a great super heavy duty ladder with all the cool accessories on it and it was a great way to go. But other than that I do not like to buy ladders off of, used off of [00:16:00] other places. I know this one was in good shape cuz it was on my buddy's truck and I know he took care of it.
[00:16:26] Eric Goranson: And so as you're walking up, if you're not careful in how you walk, it's gonna feel like it's, uh, you're walking up a wet noodle up there and it's not as comfortable as a regular extension ladder. So just make sure you're good on that. It'll keep you. A lot safer actually. So here's a couple things too that I want to talk about with this, and it's gonna come back to, we've talked about ladder safety here, and it's gonna come down to cord safety as well.
[00:17:12] Eric Goranson: And that's the cool part about that, is that we'll actually work out really well and it keeps it outta the water. So if you don't have a plug that's sitting. In a puddle of water. If you get that rain or that quick melting snow, it's gonna be a safe way as well. So keep all those cords and lights off the grass or off the landscaping and it's gonna help you there as well.
[00:17:48] Eric Goranson: I've seen, uh, snow come down like that and all of a sudden it slides off the roof and guess what? It takes? The, the lights off with it or even the gutters because now it's got teeth sticking up and if you put [00:18:00] really good clips, I've seen it loosen the gutters up and that's a big hot mess. And then the other problem you run into too is some of the gutter covers make it very hard to use some of these clips with.
[00:18:27] Eric Goranson: We'll do that just as soon as the.[00:19:00]
[00:19:25] Eric Goranson: So we're gonna talk more about this in the future. But, uh, you're gonna see so much more information coming out. It's gonna be really exciting. We're gonna have a one hour TV show each and every week. It'll air starting out here in Portland, Oregon, and it's gonna be stream. And we'll have all these different segments from new products.
[00:20:00] Eric Goranson: We're gonna have, uh, where you, if you want to, can actually send a video. And, uh, show me what you got and we'll be able to answer those questions. So as soon as we get a little closer here, we will open that up first of the year, so you can maybe even next month here, let's see what happens. We'll get that set up so you can sit there and submit those questions and I'm gonna answer 'em.
[00:20:43] Eric Goranson: But also be careful with some finishes with tapes and adhesive. You know, putting something on a cabinet, putting something on a piece of furniture, put something on some paint someplace, it can do some damage. So be very careful. What you're doing and where you're doing it, they do [00:21:00] make clips for a lot of this stuff and just make sure that you're not kinking stuff or damaging that surface that you're working on.
[00:21:26] Eric Goranson: So support it, hang it, do the right stuff with that, because, uh, if you, you know, it's still a light. If you sit there and pinch that light, that, uh, wire, you can still damage it. So be very, very careful with it. And there's ways too, if you're worried about those plugins getting wet, you can sit there. I've seen people, uh, get pretty creative with, uh, putting in.
[00:22:06] Eric Goranson: I tell you what, more homes get burned down from people way overloading those plug extensions where you got like three into one or even worse. Loading way too much stuff up on a power strip. So I've seen some people burn their house down because they were using an old power strip or didn't use, you know, they put just.
[00:22:50] Eric Goranson: Now, one of the things too, as I want you to be careful with is be careful what you are Decorat. Moving parts, stringing up things. [00:23:00] Be very careful. I don't wanna see stuff. If you're getting out there really crazy with stuff, you know, national Lampoons vacation, I know people that have done the Christmas vacation homes and this is where you really gotta be careful cuz I've seen people have to bring in a separate 200 amp service so they could do their Christmas.
[00:23:47] Eric Goranson: I'm not gonna do that to my neighbors, even though I've kind of done some stuff in the past. Not that crazy, but be very careful. And then here's the other thing. I see some people out there decorating their [00:24:00] vehicles. For Christmas and the holidays, you know, and I think it's adorable. It's one thing if you're doing a holiday parade, right?
[00:24:29] Eric Goranson: No need getting pulled over for having the wrong color lights on your car. They can get you on that. So be very, very careful with what you're doing there. And it's one thing for a parade, but if you're out cruising around and you got literally have Christmas lights bouncing around, it can be a problem.
[00:24:59] Eric Goranson: So be [00:25:00] very careful. So make sure that you've got things protected and you're not damaging stuff. And then of course with that, you have to keep everything dry so you don't have a serious problem because, uh, heavy, heavy rain in the car, you could have some problems there. We don't wanna see you shorten things out in the car, kicking off that outlet and causing other problems as you're running around.
[00:25:44] Eric Goranson: Be very, very careful with that and maybe like children. Need to keep those lights up off it. So maybe that pre-coated tree isn't the best. And you're right, I have a tree that I'm gonna get rid of this year because of a puppy over the last couple years that's been sitting out there. [00:26:00] We got a new tree sitting in a box here.
[00:26:24] Eric Goranson: So this is one of those really cool things and I don't wanna see anybody getting shocked out there, cuz that can end up being a big deal. Now one of the other tips that I do, When we're doing lights like this, and maybe this is something you do or, or it's just a thing that I do is as I'm putting the lights out, I go out there and I plug 'em in first.
[00:27:03] Eric Goranson: With LEDs, it's not like something's gonna be burned out. Usually with an LED it usually means it got damaged. And so that's the time that if I don't have an extra one of those, guess what, that's when those things get tossed because it's just time to let 'em go. And, uh, it was funny when I was in, uh, uh, I think it was in Home Depot buying lights the other day, they wanted me to buy.
[00:27:38] Eric Goranson: Anyways, just be careful on that stuff. But again, make sure those extension cords are good. Make sure that you've got things plugged in and make sure that they're in good condition because I wanna fix 'em when they're on the. Not when they're up. And then when I'm putting 'em up, it's maybe not the safest, but I always put 'em up when they're, when the power's on.
[00:28:13] Eric Goranson: So be very careful. And again, I didn't do my Christmas lights the week before because it was too windy out there. It was way too windy. I wasn't getting on that roof for the 25 mile an hour wind because the last thing I wanna do is become a sale. All right around the house. We'll be back to wrap up this segment just as soon as around the house returns.
[00:29:00] Eric Goranson: welcome back to the Round the House Show. Now we've been talking Decorat. Christmas, let's bring it inside a little bit here and talk about some safety stuff as well and, uh, some, maybe some alternatives to make it a little bit safer for you. Now, one of the ones that always bugs me is we'll talk, you know, Christmas tree safety here in a little bit.
[00:29:44] Eric Goranson: So be very careful how you do it. I don't like to really wrap it around the top of what the handrail would be. I'd much rather attach it kind of on the bottom of that and go on the outside of it. So it looks really good that way. But just be very careful. That [00:30:00] old school way of doing it was great, but it can also get in the way of safety.
[00:30:24] Eric Goranson: Attach it carefully, you know, with some clips or some, uh, wire. Do not, um, do not use staples. Do not use any of that other stuff and just be very careful. Sometimes zip ties can do it where you're not hurting the wood or the garland and that stuff, but that's one way to do it. Be very careful with that.
[00:31:03] Eric Goranson: And if that is hanging down, you could have a fire there, let alone, if you're putting across the top of that, maybe some. If it's a wood burning fireplace, if you've got, uh, real garland up there or you've got something made out of pine trees, that can be a big problem as well. So nothing flammable over there.
[00:31:37] Eric Goranson: You know, by the exits of the room there. We've talked about that in previous episodes. Make sure you got that as well as the Christmas tree itself, making sure that you come in. I just saw last week somebody cruising around the tree on top and it was way too warm. And I'm like, man, that is going to be a fire hazard.
[00:32:12] Eric Goranson: Make sure that stuff, if you gotta block off the heat duct, block it off. But just realize it's gonna change how that room heats by doing that. And again, just make sure we've got that stuff dialed in. That's a big deal when it comes to that. So I wanna make sure that we've got that in a. And happy place for it, because this is supposed to be a great time of year, not one that you're firing that insurance claim with.
[00:32:53] Eric Goranson: One way I've done that's made that a lot harder to do. Is I have gone through in [00:33:00] the past and gotten some nice metal cable with a lock green. If you can find it, black works too, and you can tie all those things together where you run it through it so it's hard to run off with it. And then I attach 'em all together.
[00:33:41] Eric Goranson: And they'll probably, as they go, run it off. When that thing catches on the tree or the fence post or whatever, it's gonna grab their attention cuz it's probably gonna drop 'em cuz they got their arms. So make sure you got a video camera on that too, that could be worth 10,000 bucks on America's Funniest Home Video.
[00:34:14] Eric Goranson: So porch pirates at my house aren't an issue. But, um, make sure there's, there's a couple different options for you. Like, for instance, if you've got a Chamberlain garage door opener, one of the new smart ones over the last few years, the cool thing you can do with that is you can set it up where Amazon can actually open up via their app and, and through another app to, they can open the garage door and slide packages underneath it, which is really cool.
[00:34:58] Eric Goranson: It looked like it was underneath a, uh, [00:35:00] a little table thing. And actually it wasn't the table, it was just a mirror that was grabbing the wall next to it, but it looked like it was just a table, that it was actually a box you could put the package in there. So that worked out really well. And there's a lot of different ways to.
[00:35:41] Eric Goranson: Then, uh, could be kinda interesting. You could be catching somebody that's out there stealing from your neighborhood and that's always a good thing. And then, uh, security wise, couple things. We've talked about this in the past, but I wanna make sure we touch on it again in this last segment. Make sure that you got those lights on late so when you come home for maybe that Christmas party or anything else, [00:36:00] you're in the door safe.
[00:36:23] Eric Goranson: So I just want you to be careful and make sure you got that dialed in. There's a lot of great security systems out there and it always seems like people are getting theft. Around the holidays, but you know, it's, it's on average typically that, it's not like more during this time of year. But the fun part is, is that, uh, we get those crazy people out there that are trying to raise a little bit more money for the holidays or it's cold, or they're, you know, they're, they're using more heat and, uh, you know, there's a lot of people out there that are, that are ripping people off.
[00:37:25] Eric Goranson: If you're thinking about your dishwashers barely going, guess what? That's a great place to go get those new Block Friday deals because, uh, dishwashers. Power tools. I mean, uh, home Depot is blowing out some big kits over there, the Ryobi, uh, whether it's uh, outdoor power equipment or tool sets. There's a lot of that.
[00:38:11] Eric Goranson: I tell you what those are the deals out there cuz you can get a set of that, a nice tool set for a hundred bucks and it's a sweet heart deal as well as in stock appliances cuz I tell you what, there is a ton of that out there, so make sure you grab the right stuff. And there's also, uh, everything from security lights to uh, ladders.
[00:38:49] Eric Goranson: Uh, I think even Home Depot's got a, uh, buy, get two free select power tools when you buy one kind of thing. So there's a lot of great deals out there. For five, 600 bucks you can load [00:39:00] yourself. Some power tools. Same thing goes for, um, our DeWalt fans out there as well. There's a lot of great deals out there, especially storage stuff, so keep your eye out on the tools guys.

Le University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (Musée d'archéologie et d'anthropologie de l'université de Pennsylvanie) est un musée de Philadelphie. Comme son nom l'indique, il est rattaché à la prestigieuse Université de Pennsylvanie, qui fait partie de l'Ivy League, et concentre essentiellement ses collections sur l'archéologie et l'anthropologie.

Le musée
Le musée, dont le nom est souvent abrégé en Penn Museum ou University Museum a été fondé en 1887. Au début du ,  Sara Yorke Sevenson, consevatrice de l'établissement, a notamment organisé les premières expéditions archéologiques en Égypte, Mésopotamie, Afrique, Asie orientale et Amérique du Sud. Les collections de l'université rappellent ces premières expéditions, pour la plupart couronnées de succès.

Le bâtiment qui abrite le musée est construit dans un style Beaux Arts, et constitue l'un des lieux remarquables de l'université de Pennsylvanie. Le bâtiment original (sur lequel de nombreux agrandissements et ajouts sont venus se greffer) ne constitue en réalité qu'un tiers d'un plan ambitieux qui aurait créé l'un des plus grands bâtiments d'accueil d'un musée aux États-Unis. Les caractéristiques de la structure incluent une rotonde, ainsi que des jardins qui abritent des papyrus égyptiens. L'architecte britannique David Chipperfield a dirigé les travaux de rénovation du bâtiment en 2006, comprenant notamment l'installation d'un système d'air conditionné.

Faith Health Politics U.S. WorldWND
Pandemic over? When will unvaxed troops be reinstated?
Ron DeSantis reacts to Biden's declaration amid ongoing emergency declaration
Army paratroopers assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment deploy from Pope Army Airfield, N.C., Jan. 1, 2020. Elements of the Immediate Response Force mobilized for deployment to the U.S. Central Command area of operations in response to increased threat levels against U.S. personnel and facilities. (U.S. Army photo by Capt. Robyn J. Haake)
In his interview Sunday night with "60 Minutes," President Biden declared the COVID-19 pandemic is over.
That came as good news to Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, who saw the immediate implications.
"So, when will he let those discharged from the military due to vax mandates return to protecting our country?" the governor asked.
And that goes, no doubt, for all the frontline health professionals and workers across all industries who lost their jobs because they believed the risks of putting the experimental vaccine in their bodies outweighed any potential benefits.
Biden was responding to a question from CBS News' Scott Pelley: "Mr. President, first Detroit Auto Show in three years. Is the pandemic over?"
"The pandemic is over," Biden replied. "We still have a problem with COVID. We're still doing a lotta work on it. It's – but the pandemic is over. If you notice, no one's wearing masks. Everybody seems to be in pretty good shape. And so I think it's changing. And I think this is a perfect example of it."
WND is now on Trump's Truth Social! Follow us @WNDNews
In May, as WND reported, when most Americans had shed their masks and demonstrated in various other ways their belief that the pandemic was over, Biden extended the public health emergency, which allows for the granting of emergency authorizations of drugs and vaccines and the issuance of special benefits such as health coverage through Medicaid.
Should the U.S. military drop all of its COVID-vaccine mandates immediately?
Earlier in May, more than 17,000 physicians and medical scientists from around the world signed a declaration calling on nations to lift health emergency declarations, restore scientific integrity and address "crimes against humanity."
Among the signatories was Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of the mRNA technology platform behind the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, who argued that the concerns raised in the declaration go beyond COVID-19, threatening constitutional rights.
The fourth declaration of the Global COVID Summit stated that the COVID policies imposed over the past two years "are the culmination of a corrupt medical alliance of pharmaceutical, insurance, and healthcare institutions, along with the financial trusts which control them."
"They have infiltrated our medical system at every level, and are protected and supported by a parallel alliance of big tech, media, academics and government agencies who profited from this orchestrated catastrophe," the signatories declare.
The "corrupt alliance" continues "to advance unscientific claims by censoring data, and intimidating and firing doctors and scientists for simply publishing actual clinical results or treating their patients with proven, life-saving medicine."
"These catastrophic decisions came at the expense of the innocent, who are forced to suffer health damage and death caused by intentionally withholding critical and time-sensitive treatments, or as a result of coerced genetic therapy injections, which are neither safe nor effective," they say.
The 17,000 Global COVID Summit physicians and medical scientists "represent a much larger, enlightened global medical community who refuse to be compromised, and are united and willing to risk the wrath of the corrupt medical alliance to defend the health of their patients."
They argue that restoring the people's trust in medicine, "begins with free and open dialogue between physicians and medical scientists."
"After two years of scientific research, millions of patients treated, hundreds of clinical trials performed and scientific data shared, we have demonstrated and documented our success in understanding and combating COVID-19," they write.
Among the "foundational principles" they list are ending the COVID shots, which they describe as "the experimental genetic therapy," and allowing doctors to provide "life-saving medical treatment" such as ivermectin.
"We declare the state of national emergency, which facilitates corruption and extends the pandemic, should be immediately terminated."
They also argue masks "have never been effective protection against an airborne respiratory virus in the community setting" and call for funding and research to address "vaccination damage, death and suffering."
They charge that vaccine makers – Pfizer, Moderna, BioNTech, Janssen, Astra Zeneca – and "their enablers, withheld and willfully omitted safety and effectiveness information from patients and physicians, and should be immediately indicted for fraud."

New Hardcore Band Spotlights
Enouement: Welsh Band Crafts Timeless Emocore
By Dan Agacki | 5.20.2020
Photo courtesy of Enouement
When sitting down for a music listening session, you've got to be conscious of Session Killers. A Session Killer is a band or record that you save until the end because it's so good that it'll ruin anything you try to listen to afterwards. Cardiff, Wales' Enouement have crafted two tapes of session killing emocore. The tapes have a timelessness to them. Enouement would fit nicely on a tour with Swervedriver circa Raise, randomly inserted into the Anti-Matter comp, or on a tour with Fiddlehead. They show a reverence for the genre without being a novelty act.
Their debut release, the Composure tape, was initially a bit of a bummer because it's only two songs and I immediately wanted more. As I went back and played those two songs over and over again, they stuck with me. They demanded to be heard again. Call it underselling, call it quality control, the fact is that they came out of the gate with a concise tape filled with earworms.
There's a skillful depth to the songwriting that helped to build anticipation for their next step.
The follow up tape, Lie, sounds slightly bigger, but it's a subtle change. Its three songs are the perfect continuation of the adept jangle of the previous tape. Only five songs across two cassettes, but damn, they're some great songs. Picking a favorite is a tall task. Just go listen to all of them.
Lie by Enouement
How did the band come together? How long have you been a band?
We've been a band for just over a year, and although we've played a few shows in that time, most of it has been song writing and practising. Jonny, Dom and Neil had previously played in a band called Bicycle Thieves that ended up winding down a few years ago due to real-life commitments getting in the way. When their time became a bit less constrained they started a new project and Jonny suggested me as I'd played with him before in Natural Order and Ark of the Covenant.
Is it a full-time band?
No, we all have proper jobs and outside commitments that would make that extremely difficult, plus trying to be a full time band in Europe is nigh on impossible until you get to a pretty high level. We are just enjoying being able to create music, hang out together at practice once a week and hopefully continuing to play some cool and interesting shows.
So far, you've released five songs across two tapes. Is there a reason you've done shorter tapes versus all five songs on one EP?
The majority of the songs on the two EPs were written and then recorded together with our friend Tom Avon (who had also played in Natural Order and AOTC with me and Jon), but the vocals, leads and a few changes were then done over the course of last year.
We put the first tape out quickly so that we could get some music out there (it's hard to book shows when you have nothing to play to people), and then took a little bit more time with the second tape, including getting it mastered with Bob Cooper in Leeds who has done a lot of great sounding recordings. I think it shows and resulted in a positive development in our sound.
Composure Tape by Enouement
Lie has a more aggressive edge to the songs, is that how the band has progressed, or did you separate the songs stylistically?
I think it's more that the songs had been a lot more honed by that point, so snap a bit tighter and have a greater sense of urgency in the playing, which I think is such an important quality for music like ours to have, and that naturally leads to things sounding a bit more aggressive.
Did you have any particular inspiration for the layout of the tapes? Are you going to continue with the theme on future releases?
The layouts were done by myself, trying to evoke the feel of late '90s Jade Tree and Rev bands, e.g. the covers done by Jason Gnewikow from The Promise Ring and others. There is a loose theme in the art, going from summer to autumn with the colours and photos, and we are hoping to continue this to complete a set for the seasons. I've always been a fan of companion releases/series etc. and with releasing records on tape/digital having a quick turnaround and low cost it's easy to play with that format.

How is the scene in Wales? Do touring bands come through often?
Cardiff/Newport has always had a fairly vibrant and varied music scene, but different genres and sounds can ebb and flow over time. We do get some bands through on tour, but Bristol (a much bigger city about 45 minutes drive closer to London) gets a lot more, which has always been an issue. Although Cardiff and Newport both draw people in from the surrounding valley communities, promoting shows can be an unpredictable and often financially troubling endeavour.
We've also had, like so many other cities, a long running decline in the amount of available venues as creeping gentrification replaces them with unnecessary luxury student flats.
Amongst the DIY scene in Wales there is currently an eclectic mix of great and engaging bands, from indie rock stalwarts Bedford Falls, violent hardcore from Rancour, powerful emo from Fallow, gruff punk from Human Heat, queer noise punk from Salt Bath, and poppy math rock like Live, Do Nothing.
How does the scene in Cardiff differ from a larger city like London?
The whole touring model for US and even Euro bands has changed over the last 5-10 years, where in the past hardcore and punk bands used to do a lot of dates in the UK that took in smaller cities, it's become a lot more common for bands to come over and do one or two "event" shows in Leeds and London. While this has definitely led to scenes like Cardiff being more self-sufficient and looking to other local scenes for show swaps, it also perhaps removes some of the "glamour" that can be needed to get younger kids through the door and into the scene in the first place.
As I said, everything ebbs and flows though and as long as people are creating music and playing shows, it'll be ok.
What are some notable Welsh bands—past and/or present—No Echo readers need to check out?
Outside of DIY punk and hardcore, the most notable and relevant band to us would be the Manic Street Preachers, who's 1994 album, The Holy Bible, is completely essential. Within punk and hardcore over the years, bands like The Oppressed, No Choice, Four Letter Word have all been important, not just to Wales, but the UK and beyond. More recently, on top of the current bands listed, Harbour, State Run, Twisted, and Saturday's Kids have all put out some brilliant records that are worth tracking down.
What are your future plans?
On top of continuing the tapes, we've been writing songs towards an LP, although that still has a considerable amount of work to go into it and we haven't spoken to any labels about it. We are hoping to do some small weekenders with some of our friends' bands around the UK and Ireland over the next few months as well as the odd one off show as they crop up.

Having read last week--with great pleasure--that YouTube/Google tipped the balance to HTML5 by making it default, this weekend I installed Firefox 36 beta (the final browser providing support for EME DRM), uninstalled Flash plug-ins from all systems, and disabled Flash in IE via Group Policy. Today I smiled a few times and wrote this comment and one other. Time to consign Flash to the dustbin. Good riddance!
I agree this series of Flash zero days was the straw that broke the camel's back as far as I'm concerned. I've eliminated in my environment, and other than seeing a few missing ads it's been no problem. Now, I have to convince my clients to do it which is going to be be difficult as Flash has been part of the landscape for so long.
Actually, I think these guys possibly have a series of zero days lined up so we are going to be on the emergency Flash update scramble for a while. Why do I think this? First, Adobe Flash consistently has one of the worst track records of all time of severe flaws which Adobe cannot seem to even get a handle on it. Second, this group seems very adept a finding or obtaining Flash Zero days.
Kudos to Google/Firefox and HTML5 for helping to lay the foundations for the total elimination of Adobe Flash. Steve Jobs, yet again, proved he was a true visionary for refusing to allow Flash on iOS. My hat's off you Steve(R.I.P) for taking point on ridding the world of Flash.
Man, that must be nice.
Cisco requires Java to run some of their GUI config tools.
Our web filters require Flash and/or Java to manage.
Then there are other high priority or even business-critical systems that also require these relics, of course. But it's the management interfaces from *security* companies that still require these dang things that boggles my mind.
Cisco requires Java. . .our web filters require Flash. . .
No doubt Java and Flash will be required for some time. Oracle fixed Java primarily by imposing strong certificate authentication or explicit sysadmin exceptions for all Java code conceding that promiscuous execution was no longer viable.
Perhaps now Adobe will follow suit to protect the legacy value of Flash and improve their reputation. Presumably all the direct-revenue-producing Adobe authoring tools now emit HTML5 WebGL and H.264 as readily as SWF, so Adobe will get by just fine.
"UPDATE (February 4): users who have enabled auto-update for the Flash Player desktop runtime will be receiving version 16.0.0.305 beginning on February 4. This version includes a fix for CVE-2015-0313. Adobe expects to have an update available for manual download on February 5, and we are working with our distribution partners to make the update available in Google Chrome and Internet Explorer 10 and 11."

I Almost Got Stuck in Chile With My Ex
July 8, 2020 · by Aoife Broad · in Yarns
The idea of getting stuck in another country terrifies me. Not so much the being overseas bit, but because it brings up memories of me hiding naked in a grand piano at 16 while my then-boyfriend's mum vacuumed the lounge around it. If you're reading this Rosemary — let's talk.
Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, the reality for a lot of people globally is that they've quite literally ended up stuck wherever they were in the world. Options for people making their way home, or planning their next big trip are still limited,
In March, I almost got stuck in Chile with my ex-boyfriend, Owen. Although questionable, this was a deliberate move.
Like a lot of my life choices, there wasn't a lot of planning involved in the organisation of our trip. Owen and I booked tickets in January, thought about a few hikes we'd like to go on and places we'd like to visit, then flew over in March.
Our trip was kickass. We met some awesome people while hiking the W Trek in Patagonia, swam at gorgeous beaches that were overrun by the only other white people we'd seen in Chile, and got caught up in political protests on a daily basis. One night, we experienced a real fat cat moment: drinking pisco sours on a candle-lit rooftop as protestors below us rioted against the structural inequalities in Chile's education system. Most were high school students, who were being sprayed with high-pressure hoses and tear gas by members of Chile's armed police force. Let's just say dinner didn't sit well that night.
The pandemic was just beginning when we started our trek in Patagonia on the 14th of March, with only We thought that this was scary back then, but to put it in perspective, there are now over 10.3 million recorded cases of COVID-19 worldwide.
On the walk, we began to meet other hikers who talked about border closures and international travel bans. Neighbouring countries Peru and Argentina closed their borders on March 16, making it difficult for Owen to get home (he intended to fly back to the States from Argentina).
At this point, we were beginning to worry a little bit — but not enough to end our trip early. We spent the night of the 16th in Puerto Natales, and flew to the confirmed shit-town of Chile Puerto Montt the next day to chill out for a minute, visit the nearby island of Chiloé, and maybe add a couple more points to the 'disappoint your parents' board with some new tattoos.
"Chill", however, didn't seem to be in our vocabulary. We woke up on the 18th to the news that Chile was shutting its borders to all foreign residents for an undetermined period. We freaked out, took an illegal Uber to the airport, and hopped on a flight to Santiago.
We later found out that all flights from Puerto Montt to Santiago after ours had been cancelled.
Upon arriving in Santiago, we shelled out for flights back to the States and New Zealand respectively, navigated America's bathroom-anxiety inducing ESTA policy, said some rushed Notebook-level goodbyes and got outta there.
We got lucky, both of us making it home okay.
But this is just one of millions of COVID-19 experiences. I've even got a friend who was stranded off the coast of Argentina after returning from an expedition to Antarctica. And there are still so many travellers stuck overseas trying to get home.
As dumb as this sounds now, we thought that this experience would be the most stressful we'd face for a while, but honestly, what's happening in the world right now is far wilder than almost getting stuck. Owen's back in the US, a country that's not only failing to manage the COVID-19 crisis, but that has also recently seen the revival of a now global protest against systemic racism and police brutality.
With everything going on right now, it's easy to worry about the future. Here in New Zealand, we don't know how lucky we are. There is no current community transmission of COVD-19, and people are beginning to settle into whatever this "new normal" we keep hearing about is. But the rest of the world is pretty far off from this. There's almost this sense of global cabin-fever, with people being cooped up for literal months on end.
A good friend of mine put it pretty simply the other day: "We don't know where we want to be, but we know that we want to be there now."
I've been thinking about that a lot over the last couple of days. In terms of travel, the world will still be there after COVID-19 is over. It might look completely different, in ways we can't yet predict, but it will still be there.

First skincare review of 2016! Say hello to Odacité pure elements. "Odacité was born in 2009; a collection of pure plant 'Serum Concentrates', rich in skin-essential nutrients to correct the multitude of common skin concerns, using concentrated oils that workwith cells to re-establish equilibrium. Rejuvenating, fortifying, protective and vitality-boosting, Odacité enables you to find your perfect formula for faultless skin, and become your own at-home skin alchemist… Enjoy!"
I received four items of Odacité products and I could not wait to start testing them. I've used these for three weeks now so I feel I am able to give a full review! The first product is the Oleosomes Time Release Delivery Créme. This is a thick moisturiser that has a very subtle lavender scent. You can use this as a day or night moisturiser which makes it the perfect travel product to minimise products you take with you (I am an over packer..) It claims to deliver hydration all day and I can say that because of the thickness of the cream it really does keep your skin hydrated and plump throughput the day. I have quite dry skin, especially in this cold weather and my skin suffers but this moisturiser is great at keeping my face smooth and calm and it even stops my concealer getting dry and patchy through out the day.
The second product I have here is the Green Tea + Lemongrass Radiance Effect Serum. Made to tighten, and refine dull sluggish skin I use this twice a week at night time after my cleaning and toning routine to help calm my skin, lighten my hyper pigmentation and it just makes my skin feel so healthy when I wake up. It's a concentrated formula so you only need one or two drops to cover your whole face. I am a huge fan of this.
Then we have the Wild Carrot Vital Glow Serum which is another concentrated serum with vitamins A, C & E. It doesn't smell of carrots but has a soft fresh smell that dissapears after you rub in a few drops. This pure and potent Wild Carrot seed oil is hand pressed in a small French village and enhanced with Vitamin E oil, creating the purest and most effective serum to smooth and firm your skin. Admittedly I don't use this as much as the Green Tea serum but I have used it a handful of times and don't see a wild difference in results from the other one, I just happen to perfer the scent of the Green Tea serum more.
This bad boy is my ultimate favourite of the four products! I have been using this almost nightly for four weeks now and have fallen head over heels for this pot of joy. This is the Jojoba Exfoliant which is as the name suggests an exfoliant, the beads are so tiny that you can hardly feel them but they work on the skin magically for a super smooth face that makes the skincare I use afterwards work a dream. You need to have wet your face before using otherwise it will just fall off into the sink but I love the smell, texture and results. I have noticed that the pores on my chin and around my nose are less noticeable and I definitely think that is down to this guy. Five thumbs up from me!


This coffee cake recipe fits all my requirements for the perfect traditional coffee cake. The cake has to be moist, contain a delicious streusel topping with walnuts and cinnamon and it must smell amazing while its cooking. You know that cinnamon smell that fills the house when you're cooking coffee cake in the oven? So good….

Affordable Accoutrements: "A Vision in a Dream. A Fragment"
It's time for my favorite day of the week, Tablescape Thursday, with our charming hostess, Susan of Between Naps on the Porch. I hope you'll visit Susan and all her talented tablescaping participants.
The day had been a gloomy one. It was time to set a table in preparation for your visit, but where? There would be no light-filled images in a bright solarium. The dining room didn't "feel" quite right for the items I'd selected. Then I thought of the old library table in the Lower Level (that sounds much nicer than walk-out basement, doesn't it?). I gathered an assortment of chairs from around the house to provide (very mis-matched) seating.
The stemware and part of the centerpiece had come from an estate sale, held the previous day at the home (farmhouse) of a former US Congressman (from 1969-1989). Thank you to a reader who wrote and told me about the sale! It was the second day, and items were reduced by 25%.
Do you ever see things in stores or at estate/garage sales that remind you of dishes you have at home? Does the word "tablescape" flash through your mind instantly? That's what happened when I saw a pair of decorative birdcages. One of the estate sale workers asked me where I found them (on a table upstairs), and another employee spoke up and said "She had them in her downstairs bathroom for years and years." A man standing nearby said they were hand-made Tunisian birdcages. The Congressman and his wife had traveled extensively in North Africa, so it's possible they'd brought them back as souvenirs. I paid $9 for the pair.
OR, A VISION IN A DREAM.A FRAGMENT.
Coleridge claimed that the poem was inspired by an opium-induced dream. It must have been a magical dream indeed.
Dried oak leaf hydrangeas from the garden. Brass plated candelabrum, Goodwill.
Lead crystal stemware: "Heritage" by Fostoria (1979-1882). Production of Fostoria glassware ceased in 1983.
China: "Sherwood" by Syracuse (1949-1967). Thrift store purchase, $5 for all.
Silverplated flatware: "Queen Bess" by Oneida Community (1946). This pattern was offered as a Betty Crocker premium through collecting coupons from boxes of selected General Mills products. An excerpt from one of their many ads stated: "Lovely Queen Bess Pattern. Extra heavy silverplate; principal forks and spoons reinforced with additional layer of pure silver. Dramatic new Queen Bess design inspired by the Garden Rose of China."
Syracuse China, located in Lyncourt, New York (a suburb of Syracuse), was founded in 1871 as Onondaga Pottery Company (O.P. Co.) in the town of Geddes. The company initially produced earthenware. In the late 19th century, O.P.Co., began producing fine china, for which it found a strong market particularly in hotels, restaurants, and railroad dining cars. The company closed in 2009. Syracuse dishes will now be produced in China.
Syracuse China sponsored the Turner-Over Club (later the Turn-Over Club) as a promotion for decades. The company gave out membership cards, with the idea that wherever members traveled, they would "turn over" their dinnerware to see if it was Syracuse China; witnesses to this curious behavior would then be treated to the story of the club and thus introduced to the brand name.
Hope you enjoyed! I'll be traveling next week, so this will be my last tablescape for a while. I'll do my best to stop by and see your tables while I'm gone.
This is beautiful, Bill. I love the setting against the brick. Wonderful!
Love your tablescape. The birdcages are fabulous. Great find! Lovely home. Will have to investigate your blog with a cup of hot tea. Thank you for sharing.
Bill, I adore your "simple elegance"! Great finds, as usual, and I can't wait to see what you've got in store for us after your trip. Have a safe one!
I love your tablescape and the birdcages are perfect for candles.
Beautiful dishes and poetry too! Sigh! Lovely! Those are amazing birdcages -- I too, seem to look at everything these days with an eye for tablescaping -- it become a passion, doesn't it?
"Lower Level" instead of basement....LOL That is one heck of a nice basement!
You were smart to mix & match the chairs & to keep the lower backed ones at the ends so as not to block the view & light from the glass.
You never fail to make me smile, to teach me something & to inspire me, Bill.
I know how hard it is to do "simple" when you love the formal look so much. This tablescape is a wonderful combination of the two.
Those birdcages have to be the find of the year!!!!
Your "lower level" is a perfect backdrop for this tablescape. Mercy! The flatware and crystal make me want to visit an estate sale soon (as if I don't already have oodles of mine own!) You know what really speaks to me? The mismatched chairs. It's all storybook perfect. Thanks for sharing!
What a neat "walk out library"! Love the brick - it just feels so warm and inviting. Your setting doesn't disappoint nor does this post. Always a joy to visit. Thanks for sharing!
Oh, so glad to see you do something a tad more simple (easier to get inspired because it is more practical for we-who-have-not-much (as far as tablescape material!!).
I love the setting you chose--really cool. When looking at your tablescape, a writer could be inspired to tell a few tales!! It is a very interesting space, and I like the brick wall-- glass doors--etc --just wonderful for the imagination!!
For some reason the setting reminds me of something a judge would have--don't know why and the only judge I know personally is a woman on the SC state supreme court!!
It is just so interesting and love those cages and the reflection that comes off of them!
Love the new locale! What a great place to set a table.
I love the brick wall! Gorgeous! The table is lovely...I think my grandma had the flatware at one time...and no, I don't have it!! Those cages are so pretty...that was a great find!
I have the same magnolia picture and actually have a brick wall in the same room! I have thought about covering the brick wall, but it brings so much character to the room. Your tablescape is beautiful!! Thanks for sharing with us!
Love those birdcages, a perfect accessory for your table! Your "Lower Level" room is fabulous! Such a romantic setting!
Bill, Rustic yet elegant all at the same time. Absolutely splendrous. Have a wonderful evening!
What a perfect place to set up a tablescape. Everything you touch seems to turn to...beauty.
I enjoyed not only the tablescape but the presentation of your blog.
Very entertaining and informative. Thank you for taking the time to share!
WOW!!!! Your "Lower Level" is gorgeous. Your brick walls and stained flooring are the perfect setting for anything. I love the charm and personality of the mis-matched chairs. Your photography is stunning. Your eye for detail is depicted in each image. Your china, flatware, birdcages and candels make this a perfect tablescape. I enjoyed the little bit of history you shared. Have a wonderful and safe trip!!!!
Beautiful tablescape, Bill, and the birdcages are gorgeous and so unique. And let me just say that you have the nicest walk-out basement I've ever seen! I love the brick and the cozy feeling it imparts.
Stunning!! I adore this tablescape!!
Bill, you are so charming! I love the history behind the bird cages, what a special find indeed.
Bill, great tablescape , so nice by candlelight too. You found some fun things at that estate sale. I would have loved the birdcages too, they are a weekness for me.
What a charming room your lower level is with its brick walls. The birdcages are a stunning addition to your formal table. I believe my mom had that same silver plate. Thanks for giving the history and info about Syracuse China. We used to live near it and frequented the seconds store often. I am sad to learn that it closed this year. Have a great trip and return here soon.
Beautiful table setting. Love those birdcages!
Don't know if anyone else is having a problem or not, but my "Reading List: on Blogger no longer lets me know when you publish a new post. The last couple of posts you have done, I found because I had your blog on my Favorites list. I have been a follower for quiet a while now - will sign up again and see if that helps.
Stunning as always! I love it!
I would have grabbed those birdcages myself. They are so unique and look wonderful on the table. What a lovely setting for dinner party...I enjoyed my visit.
Simple, yes. Beautiful, YES! The birdcages are so unusual. What a great find!!!
Tell us about the floor in your "lower level". Is it stained and polished concrete? Whatever it is, it is beautiful.
Thoroughly enjoyed this, Bill. You have such a very lovely home, and I'm pleased that you share it with us. I particularly like the fact that you used different chairs around the library table. That makes it more fun!
Your Lower Level resembles no basement that I have ever seen, it reminds me of a rustic English Country House we stayed in years ago. The tablescape is, as always, stunning and wouldn't you love to hear what a dulcimer sounded like? I'm sure it would be heavenly.
Your photography skills are amazing! The night time pictures with the candles were stunning! The candelabra reflecting in the door was outstanding. A lot of the pictures had an old English or Irish Pub feel to them, very warm and inviting.
And I love your home, it's so warm, and so unique, and so elegant looking.
This tablescape was wonderful (I especially love the silver and those birdcages were found treasure), and the surroundings are even better! Love the brick wall! And I loved the mismatched chairs.
I liked this post a lot, it gave me a very serene feeling.
I enjoyed your last post too! Thanks for the tour of the beautiful homes.
After this weekend I won't be posting again until November, but I'm going to try and visit in the meantime.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention two other stand-outs, I love, love, love the beautiful rose painting! Thanks for including it! And great job on the centerpiece!
As usual Bill, there comes a point when scrolling down through your pictures that I just have to say "Ohhhhhhhhhh" and when I saw those gorgeous cages with the candles lit, well it was an Oh moment. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy your travels and be safe!
Hi Dear Bill! Oh and what a poem! Your table is beautiful as always! Your home is beautiful! I just love being able to see other areas. The lone painting on the wall just sings too! Your new bird cages are marvelous! How unusual and lovely. Love your candle stand and hydrangeas, your dishes and glasses! Shoot! I just love it all!
Yes, I know the song 'The Girl Can't Help It'. That is a good song for dishaholism! I'll have to remember that one.
Hi Bill, enjoyed looking at your tablescape. I have three words: intimate, inspiring and inviting ! Love those bird cages and that table is gorge!
Thanks for the information on your floor, Bill. I have always thought about doing a floor like this. Alas, I have no basement here in FL, but the pool bath which gets a lot of wear and tear may be a good candidate.
Great post and beautiful table. Interesting "Turn Over Club" information. Thanks for sharing with me today.
Just wanted to stop back and thank you for becoming a follower and leaving a comment. I hope you'll visit often!
I thought I had already commented, but don't see it. Fabulous job, as usual! Great poem! I always enjoy seeing your creations!
Hi Bill -- it is time after time that i read your blog and am transfixed by it.
Love the brick wall with painting just perfectly chosen. Especially am in love with the mis matched chairs.
If you have a moment I would love you to stop by and say hi.
Hello Bill~I've just strolled into your blog for my first visit...I've enjoyed taking a peek at your past posts. You've got so many wonderful treasures. Your tablescape is so beautifully inviting.
We share similar taste for so many of the same design elements. The decorative birdcages added the perfect touch to your table.
This is the first time that I have visited your blog. I LOVE the pictures and the poem. Your home is exquisite!!
Your table tucked away in that beautiful corner of your room adds greatly to the ambiance. So simple and refined. A "feast" for the eyes!
Bill, you are such a talented photographer. I think I love this post the best...until your next one. I think the walk in basement was the perfect setting. A little gothic romance like Jane Eyre. The mismatched chairs were an inspired touch. Tell me, how does one wrangle an invite to one of your soirees?
Beautifully presented Bill, lots of talent goes into assembling assortments into a pretty tablescape. Too funny your comment about the word "tablescape" flashing at the sight of something with promise.
This is a refreshing tablescape.
Liked the atmosphere you've created and the chairs add alot of charm against the brick wall.
FAB-U-LOUS and I love the background of the old brick! And the birdcages...what a coup!
Lovely as usual, I love your lower level, the brick has such a beautiful patina and creates a great backdrop. You tablescape is just as elegant when you are being casual. Soon you will need a room like Bonnie on Susan's post. You do have some great finds!
Bill, I miss you and hope you are doing well. I thought I would send Magpie Search and Rescue to see if some culprit had eaten the breadcrumb trail back to the Land of Blog. If so, I'm leaving a fresh one.
Love the tulips. Very cheerful and fresh. The leaf glasswear reminds me of a set my grandmother had. It brings back good memories.

Q: Div height increasing dynamically I am using this code for making a fixed position <div>
var div = $('.PropertyContainer');
var start = $(div).offset().top;

$.event.add(window, "scroll", function() {
    var p = $(window).scrollTop();
    $(div).css('position', ((p) > start) ? 'fixed' : 'static');
    $(div).css('top', ((p) > start) ? '0px' : '');
});

But it's increasing the <div> height on scroll and I don't know why.
Live Demo

A: Somewhy min-height is not applicable for div with position: static;. Maybe this jsfiddle will work.
Actualy, you can exclude javascript at all. Just set position: fixed; to the .PropertyContainer (jsfiddle)

A: Because the event you had added is scroll. Put 'load' instead 'scroll' and test.
I edited your live demo: http://jsfiddle.net/BJ4U3/1/

$1.895 MILLION JURY VERDICT For CYCLIST
Attorneys Todd Walburg and Celine Cutter represented a cyclist in Sonoma County, California who suffered a broken jaw and a mild traumatic brain injury after she rode her bike through a large pothole, which they proved at trial was a "dangerous condition of public property." The plaintiff had returned to work after the accident and many people thought that she had fully recovered, so the attorneys at Cutter Law had to interview her friends, family, and co-workers to learn how the injuries had affected her. The jury awarded the plaintiff $1.895 million, including $1 million for past pain and suffering. Because the jury found the plaintiff 30 percent responsible, the award is reduced by 30 percent to around $1.33 million.
