I carve high impact polystyrene plastic by hand, using traditional engraving burins. It can take up to an hour to carve a square inch, making the process long and meditative. When the carving is finished I ink the surface and print it on an old printing press. The pressure from the printing press transfers the ink from the carving to the paper, producing the print. The number of times each block is pressed is the edition number. My engravings have editions of 100 of less, printed with rich, oil base black ink. These editions are not to be confused with digital prints of an original, each artwork is an original impression of the engraved block.
Below are editioned prints available for sale, by alphabetical order of Title.

'Proud Boys' send threatening emails to registered Democrats; authorities launch investigation into voter intimidation
A string of voter intimidation emails that were purportedly sent by the Proud Boys, a self-described militia group, were reported to state and federal law enforcement officials on Tuesday morning, according to Alachua Supervisor of Elections Kim Barton.
Alachua County officials were made aware of the emails on Tuesday morning. In one of the emails, the sender told a voter to "vote for Trump on Election Day or we will come after you," according to a copy obtained by the Miami Herald.
"We are in possession of all your information (email, address, telephone… everything)," the message stated. "You are currently registered as a Democrat and we know this because we have gained access into the entire voting infrastructure. You will vote for Trump on Election Day or we will come after you. Change your party affiliation to Republican to let us know you received our message and will comply. We will know which candidate you voted for. I would take this seriously if I were you."
Proud Boy Chairman Henry "Enrique" Tarrio Jr. said the email was "spoofed" and that he notified the FBI and Barton to tell them the group was not behind the emails.
"There is no reason for us to send an email like that. To whoever did this, I condemn these people," Tarrio said.
CBS reports "an examination of the messages, which are now under investigation by state and federal authorities, shows they were sent via servers located overseas, raising questions about their origin amid concerns about voter intimidation just two weeks before Election Day.
Democratic voters in Alachua County, Florida, began receiving the email on Tuesday morning, and voters in Alaska and Arizona also reported receiving the message. Early voting began in Florida on Monday. The emails appeared to come from the right-wing group The Proud Boys, and showed a "from" address of info@officialproudboys.com. The Proud Boys has been designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights advocacy group."
A spokesman for the Alachua County Sheriff's Office said local authorities were coordinating with elections officials and had also sought the assistance of the FBI.
"We believe them to be fraudulent," the spokesman, Art Forgey, said of the emails.
The domain, officialproudboys.com, was left unsecured because of unpaid hosting fees, meaning anyone on the Internet could have taken control of it and used the site to send out the menacing messages, said Trevor Davis, CEO of Counteraction, a Washington-based digital intelligence firm.
"It appears they allowed their domain to lapse since Oct. 8, which likely made them vulnerable to this kind of hijacking," Davis said. "Bad actors are constantly scanning the Internet for opportunities. Given the public profile of the Proud Boys and the likelihood that whoever's sending these emails has access to a voter file, this appears to be opportunism."

Gone are the days of paper here at the offices of FastCompany.com. Virtually all in-house office communication is done electronically. E-mail is a given, as is teleconferencing. But what our office does, along with an increasing number of other streamlining-minded businesses, is employ wikis extensively.
The only paperwork I've had to do since I began working here is filling out timesheets and filling out W-2s. Having a paperless working environment has done wonders to decrease our carbon footprint while making project collaboration extremely simplified. We use Drupal, an open source content management system, to build our website. We use BaseCamp, a message board project management system as the primary tool of communication about upcoming projects instead of e-mail. No memos, no print-outs of drafts, and best of all no TPS reports. It's all online.
I guess the days of lawmakers hashing out deals in smoke-filled rooms are ending just as quickly as the all-night office brainstorm session. Two heads are better than one, especially when it comes to the kinds of services I talked about. Effective collaboration has always been the make-or-break factor with group projects. Wikis are just the way to do it.


The smears keep coming – our elites, in media and politics, have whipped themselves up into such a frenzy about Patrick J. Buchanan that they can hardly let a day go by without unleashing yet another fusillade. The reason is all too apparent: for, while there are many conservative politicians of one stripe or another, and these do not usually fare too well in the liberal media, the special hatred of PJB and his Buchanan Brigades is reserved for those who dare to challenge our bipartisan policy of global interventionism. The liberal elites are willing to forgive or overlook practically anything: you could be a drunk, a cokehead, or a philanderer of major proportions, but for God's sake don't let them catch you saying we ought not to expand NATO, don't even think of saying that we should stop meddling in the Middle East, and please restrain yourself from questioning the rationale for the Kosovo war. For then the knives will really come out, and you can expect no mercy.
What is truly astonishing is the sheer volume of literature that this controversy has generated: what we are seeing is the creation of a whole new literary genre, the Pat Smear, which seems to be taking the punditocracy by storm. As the genre has grown, with new works being published every day – indeed, it often seems like every hour – the phenomenon has evolved into something more complex. Sub-genres have appeared, variations on the basic theme of Pat as the reincarnation of Hitler, as the Art of Smearing Pat becomes more sophisticated and reaches new heights – or is that depths?
"Patrick Buchanan is a Ku Klux Klansman who masks his identity behind a smile and a wink instead of a hood. He is an urbane Khalid Muhammad, David Duke with a pedigree. Lately, we've hollered until we're hoarse over the handful of crazies who've managed to grab the microphone in our midst. In the meantime, Buchanan – a racist who scapegoats Jews for leading America down a path of destruction – has been skulking in the daylight of America's mainstream."
After wiping the spittle off your face, look at the above paragraph and see how the Basic Pat Smear operates. First rule: never offer any proof for your basic thesis. It is a given that Pat is evil incarnate, and any attempt to justify or offer even a shred of evidence will only hold you back from your main objective: to smear. Besides, whom are you trying to impress? Do you think a bunch of college professors are reading a newspaper that is two-fifths gossip, two-fifths sports, with the rest divvied up between ads and propaganda?
"Pat Buchanan is personally responsible for my being appointed to the United States Holocaust Museum Council. What makes him even more dangerous is that he's – quote, unquote – 'a nice guy.' Some of his best friends are Jews."
As an example of how deluded some in the Smear Pat Brigade can get, we are being asked to believe that Buchanan personally intervening on behalf of Foxman – when he was being blackballed because he is a Democrat – is evidence of . . . anti-Semitism! But how on earth can this be? Where oh where is the logic in it? And how about that for gratitude?! Abe, you oughtta hang your head in shame.
According to Foxman and Peyser, Abe got his dander up over Pat's opposition to the Gulf War, and wrote him a note about it. "He writes back, 'C'mon, Abe, don't defend Congress. You know what it's like!'" "He's a nice guy," says Honest Abe, but this, too, is not good, according to Peyser and Foxman. For it masks his inner evil. Buchanan, in their eyes, is guilty of the one sin which cannot be forgiven: he won't apologize for identifying foreign lobbyists as the spearhead of the effort to drag us into war with Iraq – and exposing their continuing role as the advance guard of the War Party. And so here's how it works: it doesn't matter what you've done for Foxman in the past. This doesn't give you any credit or accumulation of good will. What Abe wants to know is, what can you do for me today – and if you can't, or won't, then you're an anti-Semite.
The problem with the Post School of Pat Smearing, however, is that it is a strictly regional phenomenon: after all, where else, outside of New York City, would Foxman be considered anything other than a complete ingrate? This leaves the field wide open for various other schools of Pat Smearing, some operating on a somewhat higher level: no less vicious, but far more subtle. This is really such a vast topic, that I could not possibly deal with it in a single column: the inventiveness of the smear artists (some of the best and highest paid in the business) knows no bounds. Today, however, we will examine what is to me the most fascinating and exotic sub-genre of Pat Smearing, the Smear by Historical Analogy School.
"The pastor from Royal Oak, Mich., and the polemicist from McLean, Va., derived their fame from the airwaves, not the voters. Their charm and certitude masked a combativeness that soon degenerated into venomous crankiness. Coughlin was ''the radio priest,'' a star on CBS in its infancy. When Ted Turner was building CNN, Buchanan was a glib content provider."
And so here is what Coughlin and Buchanan have in common: charm, certitude, and access to a microphone. But so what? Is that it? Notice how vague is the reader's introduction to the Rev. Charles Coughlin. Like Buchanan, we are told, he was "venomous." But how? Nolan cites the historian David M. Kennedy as saying that Coughlin was a "demagogue" who used radio to stand out from among "the legions of radicals and demagogues and nostrum-mongers and just plain crackpots who flourished in the heated atmosphere of the Depression." This quote – the use of the word "radical" – gives us just a small hint of what is wrong with this line of argument – but how many are likely to follow it up? The authors of these screeds are omnivorous when it comes to plundering history for their political purposes. The name of Coughlin is thrown in there, along with Hitler, Franco, and David Duke, as just another epithet in the arsenal of hate. But who was Coughlin, and what did he advocate?
Charles Coughlin first rose to public notice and political prominence as a fanatically left-wing supporter of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He made long, fervent speeches, with titles like "Roosevelt or Ruin!" and declared to his growing band of followers that "The New Deal is Christ's Deal." Alan Brinkley, in Voices of Protest: Huey Long, Father Coughlin, and the Great Depression (1982), notes that Coughlin gushed about "how inspiring" it was "to sense the atmosphere in every member of the [Roosevelt] Government from the head of the Cabinet down to the lowliest officer!" He was in constant communication with the White House in the early 1930s, making his last visit there in 1936. While he denounced Communism, he was in effect a socialist. The platform of Coughlin's organization, the National Union for Social Justice, advocated "nationalizing those public resources which by their very nature are too important to be held in the control of private individuals" and "the conscription of wealth as well as the conscription of men" in wartime. In a slogan grown familiar over the years on account of endless repetition by socialists, Coughlin averred that "I believe in preferring the sanctity of human rights to the sanctity of property rights." Add to this a guaranteed annual income, a staunch defense of the National Recovery Act, and vehement opposition to Prohibition, and you have Coughlin's politics, which were unmistakably left-wing and generally recognized as such at the time.
The key to understanding Coughlin's thought is that he was, more than anything, what is known as a money crank. The program and literature of the National Union for Social Justice mentions the need for a "government-owned central bank" as the one key demand of the Coughlinites, and this was the subject of countless sermons: It seemed to him that the Federal Reserve System, a system of private banks, was "undemocratic": what he proposed was that the Board be elected by the people, with one representative from each state. Coughlin also called for the remonetization of silver and, in effect, for an inflationary policy, as had the Greenbacks and Populists before him. But what has any of this got to do with Pat Buchanan, anyway? The answer is: nothing.
Unlike Coughlin, Pat never attacked private banking as oppressive per se, and, last I heard, had yet to come out for the long-lost cause of Free Silver. And while I am almost sure that Buchanan has his own critique of the Federal Reserve, it is hard to imagine him calling on Alan Greenspan to stand for election.
Motivated by his obsessive focus on "the moneychangers," the left-wing Coughlin became progressively less enamored of his hero, FDR, and began to move in a new direction. Soon, he was excoriating "the Warburgs and the Kuhn-Loebs" – although always careful to throw in the occasional reference to "the Morgans" as the secret manipulators of the nation's misery. Just as, in Germany, many former members of the Stalinized Communist Party became ardent Nazis, so in the US a smaller number of leftists moved in the direction of fascism and national socialism, including Dr. Francis E. Townsend, author of the "Townsend Old Age Revolving Pension Plan," a leftist nostrum of the day, and Senator Huey Long, whose base in the Democratic Party for a while threatened to overtake FDR's. While the ideologically leftist leaders, such as Norman Thomas and the Farmer Labor Party hierarchy, denounced both Coughlin and Long, as Alan Brinkley points out they had a very hard time keeping their followers from joining these "demagogues." Coughlin's demagoguery was none too different from their own.
Nolan, the historical ignoramus, writes that "Coughlinism resonates on every page of Buchanan's A Republic, Not An Empire, a treatise that tries to make isolationism not only respectable but mandatory. In his distinctively argumentative prose, Pat reduces figures in history to stick figures and hapless ideologues. Henry Clay, welcome to Crossfire." Yet Nolan reduces Coughlin to a stick figure, giving us almost no solid information except that the radio priest was anti-Semitic and "isolationist." But Coughlin's isolationism, as Alan Brinkley points out, was less wedded to a principled opposition to internationalism than it was, toward the end, by open admiration for Hitler's Germany and "the corporate state" – in the name of "social justice," of course. Coughlin was a left-wing priest, who took seriously the anticapitalist "liberation theology" of his day – Pope Leo XIII's 1891 encyclical, Rerum Novarum, or On the Condition of the Working Class – became a leading and powerful supporter of the most left-wing President in American history, and then began to move (with perfect consistency) toward national socialism.
On the other hand, Buchanan comes from an entirely different tradition, not the party of FDR but the party of Robert A. Taft and Barry Goldwater (circa 1964). While Nolan is quick to note that the Union Party platform warned against "entangling alliances," the original authors of that particular bit of advice were none other than the Founding Fathers. (The national platforms of the two major parties also contained similar language, and none were more isolationist than Roosevelt, who pledged "again and again and again" that "I will not take your boys into war.") Pat's legacy can be traced back not to the obscure ramblings of the Radio Priest, but to the prescient insights of the conservatives and "isolationists" of yesteryear – the men and women of the Old Right, who fought against Roosevelt and his wartime dictatorship. This is the heritage we defend, and the Smear Brigade is determined to undermine and destroy it with such devices as the Coughlin Analogy. What the charlatan "historians" of Nolan's caliber are depending on is the nearly universal ignorance of most people on the rather abstruse subject of Father Coughlin. But even the most casual student of the Radio Priest's life and belief system soon discovers that, far from being similar, Buchanan and Coughlin are in many ways opposites: for "the corporate state" is indeed the antipode of the decentralized, de-federalized America Pat Buchanan envisions.
But anyone who is deceived into thinking for a moment that we have exhausted our critique of the Smear by Historical Analogy has grievously underestimated the productivity and ingenuity of the Smear Brigade – these guys are nothing if not prolific. Alas, the hour is late, and there is no time to examine Geoffey Wheatcroft's screed, "America's Christian Socialist," in the Wall Street Journal, another major literary factory of Anti-Buchananiana. Wheatcroft's smear technique is truly innovative, and takes the historical analogist school of slander one step beyond the Father Coughlin gambit in unearthing an even more obscure historical figure – none other than Karl Lueger, "the mayor of Vienna 100 years ago" who was "anticapitalist, antiliberal, and anti-Semitic"! Good Lord! Is there to be no end to this little game, in which the smear-mongers cite ever more obscure figures out of their rogues gallery? Is the task of exploding their lies never done?
Well, then, why should anybody care? I have said it before and will say it again: because this is a test case. The idea is that anyone who is an "isolationist" (i.e. a non-interventionist) is to be driven out of American politics, and, not only that, but forever branded as an ideological outlaw, to be shunned, demonized, and eventually silenced. Whatever disagreements one may have with Buchanan, all advocates of a peaceful and indeed a rational foreign policy must certainly agree that this must not be allowed to happen. That is why I have spent the last few columns on this subject. For all opponents of war, for leftists, greens, pacifists, and independents, as well as libertarians and conservative opponents of intervention, the demonization of Buchanan means the exclusion of all non-interventionists from the public debate over the foreign policy of our nation. If Buchanan can be exiled to the fever swamps, and relentlessly smeared for daring to question our policy of global intervention, then who among us is safe? The concerted attack on Buchanan is meant to close off the possibility of any meaningful discussion on the most vital issue of the day: it is meant to clear the decks for the next war, and nip the opposition in the bud. And that cannot be allowed to happen – not as long as Antiwar.com holds high the banner of "isolationism" (i.e. peace) in cyberspace.
"Members and front organizations must continually embarrass, discredit, and degrade our critics. When obstructionists become too irritating, label them as fascist or Nazi or anti-Semitic. Constantly associate those who oppose us with those names that already have a bad smell. The association will, after enough repetition, become 'fact' in the public mind."
~ Central Committee of the Communist Party, 1943, in an instruction sent to Communists around the world. Quotation courtesy of FrontPage reader Michael Koller."
This is a great quote – it sounds like the instructions issued by the High Command of the Smear Pat Brigade to their servitors in the media. The irony is that Horowitz has himself been the most dependable smearer of Buchanan on the Internet (yes, even more so than Salon). Frontpage has run practically every smear of Pat – including the "Christian Socialist" article mentioned above and the Norman Podhoretz piece debunked in my last column – no matter how mindless and vicious it may be. What is especially striking, here, is the unconsciousness of the irony – Horowitz doesn't even realize how or why this little gem of a quote underscores his own hypocrisy. The good news is that plenty of his readers will not be so oblivious. Hats off to Michael Koller for (perhaps inadvertently) hoisting Horowitz on his own petard.

Caps Are Here!!!!!!!
DC Sports Nexus ---- Saturday, November 12, 2011
The Washington Capitals looked like a bunch of Gorrila Juiceheads but lost to the the DTF (Down To Fail) New Jersey Grenades in the blowshootout by a score of 3-2. Worst Day Of My Life!!!! The Lets Go Caps gernade horn was in full effect at the frozen Shore, the crowd caught tons of free shirts during T-shirt time, and there was plenty of GTL (Goals, Tip-ins, and Line Changes)
The Caps smushed the net 2 times in regulation, making Devils goalie Hedberg look like a sloppopotamus. Ovechkin was going crazy lots of blasts in the glass. Alex Semin also gained a new nickname. he will now be referred to as "The Honey Badger" because Sasha clearly doesn't give a s'. After Ovi scored I thought I'd be fist pumping all night...but it wasn't so...
Meet The Cast: We've got Team Meatpuck, Brookie & Greena. We've got MVP, Michal "The Stickuation", Goalie V, and the nice guy Matty P. And what a trainwreck, the relationship between Rommy & Schultzy Sweetheart.
Game Notes & Questions:
People were talking about Hendricks and a hoody. What was the deal with that?
Is it super hard to fill in on defense in the NHL? (Brooks)
For the 2nd day in a row, the Devils Andy Greene is still not related to Mike Green. No seriously...NO RELATION!
Why are there pictures of Semin's family all over the penalty box?
That Papa John's deal would have been nice, too bad (Caps50)
The announcer says "slither" a lot...Honey Badger eats things that slither...

Re: the hoodie...
The Caps highly conceptual opening video played at games this season features an unknown character in a hoodie constructing a creepy serial killer wall of Caps paraphernalia. This is intercut with shots of the team looking blank (scary? Fierce? Badass?) standing on the ice.
I don't know for certain, but it seems, for games since the opener, the hooded figure is now revealed at the end of the video. It's probably usually a guy who had a great game before (similar to the hard hat), but in this case, was clearly congrats to Hendy for the twins.


Studley Angling Society is running a special offer on membership. For the remainder of the season, full membership has been reduced to just £10.00 whilst the OAP rate has been dropped to £7.00 and the Junior rate to only £3.00. Membership runs to March 14, 2015. Day ticket fees to fish their rivers are £4.00.
Normally it would cost £20.00 a year for full membership with OAPs, students and trainees charged just £12.50 and junior anglers £5.00.


On 6 December 2016, the National Museum of Ireland launched online a sample of 10,000 records covering a range of topics and object types from this period, from uniforms, flags, letters, photographs and firearms to the personal relics of the Irish men and women who fought for an independent Ireland. The historical collections at the National Museum of Ireland tell the military and political history of the Irish, both at home and abroad, from the 16th to the 20th centuries. In total there are 36,000 objects in these collections. The majority of these objects have never been on public display, and many cannot be displayed in a gallery due to preservation concerns. They will be presented here for the first time to coincide with the centenary of the 1916 Rising and the Decade of Commemorations.
The online collections were launched by Heather Humphreys TD, Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs at 6pm in the National Museum of Ireland – Decorative Arts and History, Collins Barracks, Dublin 7. The event also incorporated the launch of Darragh Gannon's Proclaiming a Republic: Ireland, 1916 and the National Collection, based on the major exhibition of the same name.

On Wednesday, with a vote of 378-46, the U.S. House of Representatives approved H.R. 5771, the "Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014". Included in this bill is a one year extension of WOTC and other expired tax provisions including the Indian Employment Credit and the Federal Empowerment Zone Credit. The Senate is expected to pass similar legislation early next week.
This extension only covers the current hiatus period that began on January 1, 2014, and extends the credits through December 31, 2014. On January 1, 2015, these programs will enter hiatus again.


WHY A SLATTED POOL COVER?
To a swimming pool owner the reasons for keeping a pool covered are varied and of paramount importance. The NewTech-NZ system is specifically designed to deal precisely with reasons relating to covering a pool, by: i) Maintaining heat retention ii) Minimising water evaporation iii) Keeping the pool clean of debris iv) Cost savings from reduced heating bills, reduced chemical usage, minimal cleaning and valet servicing, and often v) Providing the safest possible environment for your family and friends.
The "Roll-a-Slat" fully automated slatted cover is considered to be a much superior option over the normal bubble or vinyl sheet types of covers available, and is generally considered to be a permanent solution in the covering of a swimming pool.
In operation, (either by push-button or remote) its ease of use must be considered very favourably by the owner. Its lifespan of 10 years (minimum) easily offsets the initial capital costs incurred, making it a cost-effective and practical permanent solution.
The slatted type cover, being purpose-made to suit every individual swimming pool, ensures precise and personal customer satisfaction at the outset.
The availability of various options i.e. slat colours / above ground (retrofit) / in-pool variants / manual or automatic operation, allows for the perfect choice of the most suitable pool cover type for your particular needs and environment.
The concept of the NewTech-NZ automated pool cover system is not in any way new to the swimming pool industry as a whole, but extensive research and development by NewTech-NZ has been undertaken to be the first in New Zealand to adapt imported automated systems to incorporate as many parts as possible from New Zealand suppliers, and to assemble and install the product in New Zealand. The NewTech-NZ system is fully designed and manufactured to suit local conditions, and to still meet local and international standards of quality, reliability and durability.
Many replacement spares are off-the-shelf – no delays – no international freight costs – New Zealand service as it should be – Supporting each other.
The NewTech-NZ "Roll-a-Slat" cover system basically comprises of many interlocking PVC hollow-core slats, which are interlinked to each other by a unique clip/slide arrangement. Each slat is individually sealed at each end to prevent the ingress of water into the slats. This method of sealing makes every slat totally buoyant and allows the cover to float on the water's surface. The dual interlocking system means slats cannot pull apart.
The slats are connected to a roller system, which is motor driven at one end by a 24V DC drive system, making it impossible to receive an electric shock.
Every cover is custom-made to suit each particular pool design, ensuring maximum surface coverage is achieved.
The two basic systems available from the NewTech-NZ "Roll-a-Slat" range are the above-ground system (retro-fit) suited to existing pools without covers, and the in-pit or submerged system which is directed mostly at newly constructed pools, where the cover pit and motor pit can be built in at the construction stage. Some existing pools can be modified to accept the in-pit system.
Whichever type of system is used the NewTech-NZ "Roll-a-Slat" cover system is designed to be efficient, cost-effective and an exclusive choice for the discerning pool owner.
Designed primarily for heat retention and pool cleanliness this system also drastically reduces chemical usage and provides a high level of safety to every pool.
The operation of the slatted cover is such that the cover floats on the surface of the water and fits snugly under the coping surrounds of the swimming pool. Very simply, the slats uncoil off the roller when the cover is going out onto the pool, and floats on the water's surface until they reach the far end of the pool, and the entire surface of the pool is covered. To retract the cover, the slats are coiled back onto the roller until the entire surface of the pool is exposed for swimming.
Built-in limit settings automatically prevent the cover from going out too far onto the pool or retracting too far back onto the roller.
In both the above-ground and in-pit options the cover is easily operated by an individual and has no connecting ropes or fixing hooks to contend with.
All NewTech-NZ "Roll-a-Slat" pool cover slats are manufactured from High Grade PVC, and are fully UV stabilised, suitable for outdoor use in our harsh New Zealand weather conditions. Each slat has 3 individual compartments across their entire length, which is sealed off at both ends with end-caps. These airtight compartments ensure that every slat is completely buoyant, has maximum insulation against heat loss, and also provides some additional heating into the pool water from sun.
All "NewTech-NZ" covers are custom-made to fit any specific size pool, ensuring that the entire width and length of the pool is precisely covered. All slats are inter-connected by means of a flexible tongue-and-groove joint system.
Slats are available in multiple colour choices.
End caps also serve to protect the slat from wear and tear against the pool sides.
All NewTech-NZ components are manufactured from the highest grade materials with the close proximity to water, chemicals and our harsh outdoor weather conditions being the foremost consideration in the design criteria.
Rollers are manufactured from high grade stainless steel, with all connecting bushes being of polyethylene to eliminate corrosion.
All shafts/bolts/fixings are manufactured from high grade stainless steel.
All units incorporate as-standard, limit setting features, pre-set to stop the cover automatically at its extremities.
Operation of the system is by manual open/close buttons or by hand-held remote.
Automated slatted pool cover systems are not considered by New Zealand law to be safety covers. Although by design they do lend themselves to give a certain degree of protection against drowning being applied from above whilst the cover is on the pool.
The level of protection from a NewTech-NZ "Roll-a-Slat" cover can be increased by fitting handrails to the pool side walls, mounted just under the water line, or alternatively by building in recesses to both side walls to accommodate the slats.
These inclusions will allow the slats to be semi-supported when weight is applied from above.
Some local councils in New Zealand have accepted slatted covers as a safety device, but the onus is on the pool builder/owner to apply for consent as a safety cover from their respective local council.
In the best interest of the client and supplier, it is a condition that all covers are serviced regularly, in accordance with the specifications of the manufacturers, during the warranty period.
Thereafter the onus to service the equipment rests with the owner.
All servicing must be carried out by a recognised installation or service agent.

This might come as a shocker but Venice's famous canals have dried up completely for the second time in three years! … As per Venice authorities, "On the days of new moon and full moon, the effects of sun and moon result in the highest tidal fluctuations."
Is Venice Sinking or is the Water Rising? Venice, Italy is literally sinking. It has always experienced flooding from acqua alta (exceptionally high tides) but the frequency of such events has increased.
3,281 фута
Yes, sharks have been found in Venice Italy. We all know that the canals in Venice are connected with the Adriatic Sea which explains why there could be species of sharks in the canals.
IT\'S FUN: Can EU citizens work in Italy?
Venice is widely known as the "Floating City", as its buildings seem to be rising straight from the water. … Some particularly large and grand buildings, such as church Santa Maria della Salute are built on top of over a million wooden stakes that were stuck deep into the ground.
Venice's world-famous 'streets of water' left dry after dramatic low tides drained its canals. Water levels in Venice's canals dropped to -18 inches from a 19-inch average. … The Mayor of Venice maintains that the rapidly alternating water levels are linked to climate change.
From the beginning, the weight of the city pushed down on the dirt and mud that it was built on, squeezing out water and compacting the soil. This phenomenon, together with the natural movement of high tides (called acqua alta) cause periodic flooding in the city, creating a sinking sensation.
October through January is the typical high water season, though flooding can occur at any time during the year.
Venice is more expensive than some places but that is to be expected as getting things in and around has extra logistical challenges. We've been going for over 20 years and only paid near those prices for special drinks in St Mark's Square which we expected.
IT\'S FUN: Can EU citizens buy property in Italy?
During the 20th century, when many artesian wells were sunk into the periphery of the lagoon to draw water for local industry, Venice began to subside. It was realized that extraction of water from the aquifer was the cause. The sinking has slowed markedly since artesian wells were banned in the 1960s.
Florida's high point is 345 feet above sea level, the lowest of all fifty states. Thus it will never go completely underwater, even if all the ice sheets and glaciers on the planet melt, since a total meltdown of all the ice sheets glaciers would raise sea level 212 feet (65 meters).
Venice wasn't always the floating city and the process of creating it was done by man, not nature, since turning it into one of the most fascinating cities in the world.

Translators may be recognized by people who need their translations to meet specific needs. These people are liable to understand the nature and importance of the translation work through their contact with translators during the translation process. Sometimes, the recognition of translation does not include the financial aspect. Therefore, I exclude from these people fraudsters who need translation but refuse and hesitate to pay.
While talking about my work and translation in general, I was asked by some educated people – a math teacher and the director of a department- about the work of translators. They asked me the following: Is the work of translators limited to the translation of legal texts required in courts? What else do you translate? Why do translators translate while people targeted today by these translations are able to read the original work in its source language? Why is translation taught academically while anyone who masters two languages or more can translate?
The questions of those educated people can be answered in separate articles. Yet, the opinion of some authors and thinkers about the work of translators shows a practical assessment of its importance and actual impact based on their own experiences. Their opinions are not theoretical but rather based on real experiences. I suppose that these authors witnessed all translation steps and the challenges faced by their translators. Their potential discussions with translators could bring them behind the scenes. Indeed, some of these authors understand the work of translation because they are translators, themselves, too.

Ву́лиця Черво́ний Припла́в — зникла вулиця, що існувала в Дніпровському районі (на той час — Дарницькому) міста Києва, місцевості Березняки, Кухмістерська слобідка. Пролягала від початку забудови та дороги до проспекту Возз'єднання до залізниці Київ — Дарниця.

Прилучалася Білокринична вулиця.

Історія
Вулиця виникла в 1-й чверті XX століття під такою ж назвою. У 1941–1943 роках мала назву Кухмістерський Приплав.

Ліквідована 1971 року у зв'язку зі знесенням старої забудови (повторне рішення — 1977 року).

Prada's first freestanding store opens in Osaka, Japan

Prada recently unveiled its first freestanding store in Osaka, Japan. Located in the upscale Shinsaibashi district, the store houses everything from men's and women's ready-to-wears, to leather goods, accessories and footwear. Designed by architect Roberto Baciocchi the store stands tall at 30 meters, and stretches over a retail space of about 1500 square meters, across five levels. The store has to its credit an imposing store front, the grandeur of which can be spotted from a distance.
It is reported that this magnificence pays tribute to French-Venezuelan artist Carlos Cruz-Diez, one of the leaders of the kinetic art movement. Its in his memory that the entire storefront has been made of backlit panels in golden-colored aluminum and polished steel that creates an unusual kinetic effect both in daylight as well as at night.

Within, the store has been expertly divided into zones that sinuously are connected to each other through a series of openings in the ceiling work, leading to a skylight rooftop.
Every floor uses the best of materials some of which are Prada signatures. These include fixtures in polished steel and crystal, green fabric backdrops, black and white checkered marble floor, green velvet seats, and display counters with details in colored saffiano leather.

I just got my hands on the Purple sheets. They are advertising them as stretchy, soft and comfy so that you can get the most out of your Purple mattress or any mattress for that matter. They are indeed stretchy, comfy and cozy and in this review, I'll lay out the pros and cons of these sheets. After having already reviewed the Purple Mattress, the Purple Mattress Protector and the Purple Pillow, I have come to find that these are really innovative products. They certainly aren't for everyone but I am glad that Purple is bringing innovation to the space.

Variations on a theme...
The French cover for King of Thorns
It may seem familiar!
The R-word
So I thought I'd told the whole and unvarnished tale of my route to publication but searching on an old email account for the word 'rejection' I discovered a step I had wholly forgotten. I really haven't the slightest memory of it. Perhaps I was drunk... who knows?
In 2007 at 1:05 AM I apparently sent a query to the Nelson Literary Agency that ran thusly (with small name edits):
Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2007 1:05 AM
To: query@nelsonagency.com
Subject: Query
Dear Kristin,
I'm looking for an agent to represent a fantasy novel I have recently completed. I have appended a very brief synopsis.
I'm a 37 year old scientist. A US and UK citizen, currently living in the UK.
In 2006 I've had stories published in the following paying (to various degrees) magazines:
Fantasy Magazine (4), Fictitious Force Magazine (2), Chick Flicks (8&9), The 5th Review
(upcoming), Forgotten Worlds (upcoming), Espresso Fiction, and OG's
Speculative Fiction Magazine (upcoming), Ascent Aspirations Magazine
(upcoming).
All under the pen name '**********'
Novel: Prince of Thorns
The book has a fair bit of inspiration from 'A Clockwork Orange'. It's set in a post-apocalypse that has wound its way out of the stone-age up to a quasi-medieval era with elements of old technology in the backdrop as well as low-key magic.
Our 'hero' is an ultra-violent amoral fourteen year old, something of an evil genius, very charismatic, leading a band of older men on a rampage. The story is told entirely from his point of view, in the first person. The 'Clockwork Orange' inspiration makes itself felt when, after having painted our MC as black as can be, he wins the reader over, mainly through force of character. We get to follow him and his band through an adventure where his random mayhem becomes focused on getting even with his father (one of many minor kings vying for the vacant empire throne) and becoming a power himself.
As the story develops, other factors become apparent and our MC discovers he is being manipulated by various interested parties.
The original inspiration reappears at the end with parallels to the coming of age story.
The reply came 4 days later!
Dear Author:
Thank you so much for sending the Nelson Literary Agency your query.
We'd like to apologize in advance for this standard rejection letter. The volume of queries as of late has been too overwhelming to personalize our response anymore. Rest assured, we do read every query letter carefully and although your work sounds intriguing, we're sorry to say that we don't believe we are the right agency for you.
You deserve an enthusiastic representative, so we recommend that you pursue other agents. After all, it just takes one "yes" and with so many different opinions out there, you could easily find the right match.
Good luck with all your publishing endeavors.
Now this is in absolutely no way a poke at the agency in question. They are very successful and have many clients including a good number that have sold way more books than I have. Their website asked for a synopsis, they got one, politely told me it wasn't something they were interested in and suggested I try elsewhere. It was, perhaps, a lousy synopsis - and the best book in the world will sound unappealing if you describe it poorly (and it looks suspiciously like I made it up as I typed it into the email at five past one in the morning!).
In any event I followed their advice - it just so happened that life got in the way and I didn't expect to succeed anyhow (it had just been an email on a late night whim), and so it took me nearly three more years to try again. I had after all only sold my first short story eight months earlier (for $31) and only after a bunch of rejections. I didn't seriously expect to sell a whole book.
What I'm doing here is offering encouragement by sharing the oft-repeated truism that experts often reject books that prove to sell well and that many of us under-estimate our own potential.
Additionally I'll note the lost opportunity on my part (I should have kept at it).
And finally I'll point out that since this exchange happened six months after an unknown UK writer called Joe Abercrombie got his first book on the shelves, it somewhat deflates the frequent accusations that I was inspired to copy his style. That would have required me to invest in a hardback by an unknown on the day of release, start writing at once and bang out a rip-off in 6 months then immediately query for it... then ignore it for ~3 years.
[this mini-rant brought to you courtesy of the fact I still see comments like this one from a blog a few days ago:
The serious problem of the writing is: Mark Lawrence has evidently copied the style of writing genius by the name of Joe Abercrombie. Unfortunately, he must have lost a few pieces in the process of copy-pasting, to the point of view of the story. ]
I made a world one key-stroke at a time, and people saw it. I built a man out of letters and people cared about him. These are good things.
Best Fan Mail Ever
I thought I'd share this email from a reader [edited to reduce spoilers]:
I really think you are one sick disturbed person. I was fine with King of Thorns until I got to the chapter about ****. I got to the part about where **** was in the cart and then flipped the pages. Unfortunately I read the sentence "*******************************"
That sentence is seared into my brain and has given me nightmares. It might be fiction but it is just horrible. There is no excuse for this sort of thing. The torture of an innocent animal. ***************************. You could have found a different way to make you point. I took the book straight back to the library. I will never ever read another book by you as long as I live. I dont know where all this darkness comes from with you but you are
quite obviously disturbed. I don't care if you are with 10 kids and 5 dogs. Sick sick sick.
My reply: "Excellent choice, ma'am."
The mail above was interesting to me for several reasons:
i) It embodied the Hollywood advice: slaughter as many co-ed teens as you want, but shoot a puppy and your film is toast.
ii) It brought home to me how differently people's imaginations are wired. Indeed how people without an imagination can mistrust those who have one - failing completely to understand how an imagination works.
Imagination 101:
The innocent animal (I don't recall ever claiming it was innocent mind you) was made of words. It didn't really suffer. Just because I can imagine bad things happening doesn't mean I have done or want to do those things.
Later additions on the subject:
From an Amazon review: "until the infamous dog scene, which was so horrific I never want to read another word written by this author. I've read umpteen horror novels that haven't kept me awake like that scene."
Forum quote: "An early scene with the young Jorg and his dog almost had me putting it down, and I'm from quite a good horror vintage with a strong stomach."
From a Goodreads review: "I really liked the first book, but couldn't get past the dog torture scene early in the second book so I stopped reading. It is a shame, because I do like the story, but wow, that was horrifying and made me ill and I don't want to risk more of it, so I tapped out."
But here's the main thing:
Torture is horrific. If you read about the torture of a human and it doesn't make you feel sick, sad, and a little dirty, then either it's badly written or it's an indictment of how desensitized we've become.
Contrary to common belief there are no torture scenes in Prince of Thorns, and none (save the non-human one this post concerns) until Emperor of Thorns.
I've never written a torture scene to titillate. I expect the ones I have written to have an impact, and they are there because the constitute important moments in Jorg's life. Life changing moments that are responsible in part for who he is.
I never intend to write torture porn (like Saw I, II, III etc). I don't expect the reader to keep putting the popcorn into their mouth while it happens.
Best of Reddit r/fantasy
Reddit? No, I don't know either. It's big and diverse and has message boards for everything under the sun. Including one (or maybe lots) for fantasy books - namely r/fantasy. That tiny (well ... ok, it has 25,000+ readers, so it's pretty damn big really) corner of reddit I know about. It's a very active forum on all things fantasy filled with robust opinion. They run regular Ask Me Anything sessions with authors and in the past year have had best selling writers such as Pat Rothfuss, Joe Abercrombie, Jim Butcher, Peter V Brett, Scott Lynch, Lev Grossman, Robin Hobb and the like on to answer members' questions in real-time. This can be a real laugh-riot.
(could't afford Pat Rothfuss' appearance fee so here's his beard's stunt double)
Anyhoo - long story short. Go sign up. It's a fun place to hang out if you're a fantasy geek.
Additionally... they ran 'Best of 2012' polls for best fantasy novel and best fantasy debut. These are the official results as collected by Reddit Fantasy's elquesogrande at the appointed time.

There's a website that posts pairs of covers the owner feels are suspiciously alike. It sports the pairing below and I reached it from a website where someone was urging George Martin to litigate...
I have to call bullshit on this.
Shock horror! Fantasy book covers and they both show kings on thrones. Whoever heard the like? Next they'll be having hooded men on the front. My advice is for every author with a hooded man and sword combo on the front cover to sue all the rest.
I mean, the king on a throne motif is such a novel one - I just can't think of anyone ever using it befo-- oh...
One can probably plot a fairly unbroken line of king-on-throne covers between that one and these:

João Sousa, currently ranked 68th on ATP, outlasted Daniil Medvedev, the eighth seed, to book a place in the Millennium Estoril Open second round for the first time in his career.
It was a very tight match between Portugal's João Sousa and Daniil Medvedev. In a high-quality match, it was the Portuguese who prevailed in two tough sets.
João Sousa started the match on serve and held it with a game at love. He was serving really well and playing a solid tennis. The second game of the match was well disputed and after a 30-30, Daniil Medvedev was able to close it. In the third game, Sousa started to commit some mistakes and that cost him some points and the game. He was broke and the Russian stayed serving at 2-1 up. Although he started with a double fault, the eighth seed held his serve with some arguing from the Portuguese in the middle. Sousa closed the next game with an ace to reduce the disadvantage to 2-3. Until this moment, João had won only 1 point in 5 points he played on the second serve.
Sousa was playing a solid tennis as well as Medvedev. After being 0-30 down, the highest ranked player won four consecutive points to hold the serve. In the next game, João held at love being very aggressive and it was time to change the balls. The set seemed one-sided and dominated by the Russian but when Daniil was serving for the set, the Portuguese with the help of the crowd support broke his opponent serve at love to level the match 5-5. He faced one breakpoint next but was able to pass it through and take the leadership of the set by 6-5. Serving to stay in the set, the eighth seed was down 15-30 before taking the game and level the set at 6-6. In this last game the last ball was called out but was on the line, so it was point for the Russian athlete.
It was six games all in the first set and all of the results were possible. The two players were playing incredible tennis and making the crowd go crazy. Sousa started the tie-break on serve and confirmed it. After that, Daniil Medvedev won the only point of the tie-break with a great serve. A point which was badly called and had to be repeated was the point which took Sousa, who called the ball good in his opponent favor, to a 2-1 lead in the tie-break. Next, the Portuguese continued winning the points and took the first set 7-6(1), after being down 3-5.
The second set started with Daniil Medvedev on serve. He won the first game with a backhand winner. Playing the second game of the set and serving, João Sousa was winning 15- when a ball touched twice on the court. The referee said it was just one time but the Portuguese recognized it was two times and gave the point to the 50th ranked on ATP. After a deuce, Sousa was able to make a backhand winner and winning the game to level the set at one game all. Medvedev was serving to take the lead of the set and at 30-30 he fails a ball at the net to face a breakpoint, but with a good serve, he saved it. João had another chance to break but the formerly ranked 48th was stronger and closed the game with an ace.
To try to level the set, Sousa started the game with a winner, which was applauded by his opponent who said "wow" by looking at the ball falling inside of the court lines. It was a well-disputed game but João failed to make it when he hit a backhand which stayed at the net. Daniil Medvedev was on his way to make the 4-1 but the world number 68 broke his serve at love. It was being a difficult time for both of the players to hold their serves as Sousa was broken again to be down 2-4. The crowd was rooting a lot for him and that helped him reach the equality of the score again. From there on, the unseeded player never let his opponent break him again and in some tough games, he got the decisive break to be up 6-5. With a love break, he closed the match.
The match ended 7-6(1), 7-5.
João Sousa aced Medvedev 2 times and the Russian did the same to his opponent. In 46 points played on Sousa's first serve, he won 34 of them (74%). Daniil Medvedev saved 4 out of 8 breakpoints and double-faulted twice, while Sousa double-faulted once and saved just 2 out of 5 breakpoints. The Portuguese won a total of 85 points against 65 from Medvedev. The match lasted 1 hour and 45 minutes.
This was the first time that Sousa won here at the Millennium Estoril Open. Since there is a new tournament, this one, that the Portuguese star didn't win a match in the ATP 250 held in Portugal.
When asked about the match, João Sousa is comfortable with his level. "Not a relief but I think this is the year I was better prepared and I have been playing good tennis for the past few months. I was calm, I knew he was a tricky opponent with a specific type of game, a little bit unpredictable, but if I played well and if I was mentally fine I would've many chances to win, and that's how it was. After a first set that went not that well I could remain focused tactically and I was able to play at a good level and that's the most important for me. "
João Sousa will now face Pedro Sousa for a place in the quarterfinals, which garantees a Portuguese player in the last eight.
