请认真阅读下列短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。
As a child, I remember listening to a song called "Wonderful, Wonderful Copenhagen." When  I visited the city last year, that song kept running through my head. It got me wondering: Just what is wonderful about Copenhagen?
It's not a place filled with world-famous tourist sites. But it does have a charm（魅力）that makes you want to linger. You can sample the food, visit the castles and museums, and learn about the life of the Danes.
Stoget, the world's longest pedestrian (人行道) mall, runs through the center of the old city. This string of lively street and squares makes walking a treat. I happily explored the mall, looking in the windows of shops and cafes. I followed Stoget from the square in front of the city hall to Nyhavn. Here, old houses painted bright colors look out over a picturesque harbor filled with sailing ships. Denmark's beloved storyteller Hans Christian Andersen lived here when he wrote his first stories.
From Nyhavan, I continued heading north. I wanted to see Copenhagen's symbol, the statue of the Little Mermaid (美人鱼). She was set up in honor of Hans Christian Andersen's famous story. As I continued my city tour, one thing impressed me all the bicycles. I learned that half the population of Copenhagen rides bikes every day. Only 20 percent of Copenhageners own cars because there is a 180 percent tax on them. That certainly keeps the city free of traffic jams and heavy pollution！ It's easy to join all the bicyclists pedaling (骑车) through the streets, too. The city provides free bicycles that anyone can use. The cycling around the castles and parks made a relaxing end to a full day. As darkness fell and  the parks' lights began to twinkle, I watched families enjoying themselves.
So what is wonderful about Copenhagen? Just about everything.
1. What is the purpose of referring to the song in the 1st paragraph?
A. To arouse the interest of the readers in the city of Copenhagen.
B. To show the readers that Copenhagen is a wonderful city.
C. To express the puzzled feeling of the author.
D. To ask the readers to find out what is wonderful about Copenhagen.
2. The word "linger" in the 2nd paragraph is most close to______
A. walk          B. stay        C. learn        D. leave
3. The underlined sentence“makes walking a treat” in the 3rd paragraph means_________
A. You can find various food in this string of lively street and squares
B. You will meet many people when walking along the string of lively street and squares
C. Walking will be a great pleasure because of the string of lively slmet and squares
D. The string of lively strict and squares make people eager to walk along
4. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Copenhagen is a city with lots of places of interest.
B. Stoget is the biggest pedestrian mall in the world.
C. The government of Copenhagen does encourage people to ride bicycles.
D. Nyhavn is a city hall where Hans Christian Anderson once worked.

Time management is the essence of a well-run household. So how can full-time working parents save time? Just the thought of having to get so much work done after a long day at work can seem like a monumental task to a lot of parents. However, actually it may be not as difficult as you think. Thus, firstly, the main thing you need to do is calm yourself down. Once you leave the office building, sit in your car for a few minutes and clear your mind. Once your mind is clear, slowly begin to think about all the things that you’ll need to do. Keep a daily planner which will help you schedule everything properly. Once you see that you have everything under control, you can relax and get to them one by one.
Secondly, learn to plan the meals well. Making sure that everyone eats right and on time is no doubt a challenging task. Plus, as a parent, you need to know who likes what, who’s allergic to what, and have suitable meals prepared. To make this easier, on Sunday evenings, the entire family can sit together and plan the 3 meals for the next 7 days. After you’re done, paste it on the refrigerator and get the necessary shopping for the entire week.
Thirdly, you need to make your children understand that they need to finish all their homework and only then play, after they get back home from school before you. While doing this, make sure that you assign reasonable deadlines to them like when they must finish their homework, according to their age and the amount of homework they could have. Once they begin to follow this routine, things will function smoothly and your children will get their work done before you get home.
Fourthly, you don’t have to do everything by yourselves. Children can and should help out with household chores. This will reduce the burden on you; plus they become more responsible. Chores your children can manage must be divided among them according to their age. You can have a chore chart pasted in their rooms or in the kitchen, from which they can tick off the chore once it is completed. Don’t permit delay of any chore unless there’s no other option.
Lastly, you don’t need to be occupied in your household chores all the time. Instead, you should spare some time for yourself and your family. You can plan a meal, a movie, a game, anything that will make the family sit together and spend some quality time. This will develop a sense of calmness and create a friendly atmosphere. When you get along well with your family, the work gets done fast. Everyone understands each other’s requirements and commitments, and works together to ensure the smooth flow of household chores.
By following the above simple tips for full-time working parents, you can not only manage to get all the work done in time, but also have some time to spare.

1. harmonious  2. totally/ completely   3. adventurous  4. uncomfortable   5. perfectly
6. included     7. local              8. official      9. actually       10. published
1.A  within reach 够得着的地方，为固定搭配。
2.D  only to find作结果作状语表示未曾预料的结果。现在分词作结果状语表示自然而然或必然的结果。句意：你是否曾在考试卷上改答案，后来却发现自己第一次所写的答案才是正确的？
3.B  参看上题的解析。
4.A  in return意为“作为（对…的）报答（或回报）”；in turn意为“依次，轮流”；’ll cross in advance意为“预先，事先”； in vain意为“徒然，白费力”。句意：我给了约翰一件礼物，但是他没有送我东西作为回报
5. D  supply sb. with sth.或supply sth. to sth.；offer sb. sth.或 offer sth. to sb.。依题意应选 D。
6.C  wish后的宾语从句要用虚拟语气。这儿是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，用had+过去分词。“几乎没有听懂。我多么希望我更加努力学习英语才好呢！”言下之意“我过去没有好好学习英语”。
7.C  句意：他准备好了相机，万一看到能拍出好照片的东西。结合句意可知，从句部分是他准备相机的目的，in case引导目的状语从句。so that也可以引导目的状语从句，这时从句中谓语部分经常有情态动词。
8.B  从上下文语境看与“现在”和“将来”无关，排除AD选项。句中没有“过去的过去”的时间概念。故排除C项。答语的意思是：这么说来，似乎（那个时候）你没在仔细听。故用过去进行时态。
9.D “in a minute”意为“一会儿以后”指将来，故用将来进行时。
10.B 从上下文语境看与“现在”和“将来”无关，排除ACD选项。句意：（当时）雨下得很大，但是我们谁也不肯停止工作。

Dear Tom,
Traveling is a very good activity outside. When you are tired with your work or study, in order to relax yourself you can choose to go to a beautiful place to enjoy the beauty of nature. Meanwhile, you will learn how to live in harmony with nature.
However, there may be some troubles in travelling. For example the weather changes quickly,
which will make you uncomfortable and even lead to natural disasters, threatening the safety of your life.
In my view, you try your best to prepare yourself carefully before the trip. What’s the most important is to listen to the weather forecast. Besides, you must not forget to take extra clothes in case the weather becomes colder. What’s more, it is necessary for you to take a map of all the places you will visit and a compass so you don’t lose your way. Last but not least, you’d better find a companion so that you can help each other in case of any accidents.

The unsung heroes of Australian farms – working dogs – will get their day with nominations closing on July 8 for the third Cobber Challenge.

The nationwide competition is asking dog owners to put their best mate forward for a chance to compete and be crowned ‘top dog’.

From the pool of nominees, two dogs will be selected from each Australian state. The manufacturers of the Cobber brand of dog food, from which the Challenge takes its name, will oversee selections. As part of the competition, dogs from across Australia will wear GPS collars and score points based on their daily activity.

But the motivation for many is to give their working dogs the recognition they deserve with competitors for last year’s Cobber Challenge overwhelmed by how much their dogs were putting in:“It’s been a bit of an eye-opener. It was crazy seeing her complete three back-to-back marathons,” said last year’s Cobber Champion Brad McDonald about his dog Flow.

“We started the Cobber Challenge to showcase just how important working dogs are to farms, and the significant role they play for the industry,” said Marika O’Leary, Cobber Brand Manager. “We’re so happy to see the Cobber Challenge becoming an annual celebration of these amazing dogs, who never ask for fame or recognition.”

Last year’s Queensland competitor Liz Miller remarked, “I didn’t participate in the Cobber Challenge to win it. I just wanted to promote the usefulness of working cattle dogs in this industry.

“They’ll give you their all. If a dog’s trained and knows its job, you have everything.”

God Rules! by Don Fortner

Our God is in control of this world- absolutely in control of it (Ps. 76:10). God, and God alone, is in absolute, total control of the entire universe. We can and should trust Him with implicit confidence in all things, and with all things. The Word of God, the promises of God, the prophecies of Holy Scripture are all utterly meaningless unless our God is the God who rules everything, whose will is always performed, whose purpose stands fast, whose thoughts are irresistible!

Here is the basis of our faith and the foundation of our comfort- Our God is in control- as fully in control of Satan, the demons of hell, and the thoughts and deeds of wicked men as he is of the angels about his throne. We live in a world of woe. We are often tossed to and fro in this world, confused and perplexed by many things. Let us ever rest ourselves in our God.

"All things are of God." All things are ordered by our heavenly Father for our good. All things are arranged by God's infinite wisdom and omnipotent arm for his glory. Nothing is beyond his dominion. If the god you trust can be controlled, hindered, or even influenced by you, by Satan, or by all the powers of earth and hell, then the god you trust is no God at all, and you are an idolater.

Our God is not a spectator or even a competitor in this world. He is the Ruler of it. Salvation is knowing him, the only trueand living God as he is revealed in the Lord Jesus Christ his Son, the God-man, our Savior (John 17:3). He who is our God is the only God you can trust. by Don Fortner

Glengarry SOS Public Meeting

In response to UCDSB’s threat of school closures, the Glengarry District High School (GDHS) Steering Committee has generated the Glengarry Solution.

Everyone in Glengarry will be negatively affected if our County is left with no English public high school. In its 2005 report, People for Education stated, “Schools are the hubs of their communities and have an importance that goes beyond education; they play a major role in the economic development of their communities and they make communities more attractive to newcomers. Businesses are more likely to move to communities with schools, and families will not move to communities without schools.”

Thursday, November 3 is your opportunity to:

  • Learn more about the Glengarry Solution;
  • hear about the Glengarry SOS movement to keep English public education at the high school level in our County;
  • ask questions and express concerns;
  • learn how you can participate in saving GDHS and protecting our community.

Spread the word!

Tell students! Tell Friends! Tell Family!

This past week has found me in rather rare form. A million circumstances all fell into place at once and the result has been -for lack of a better word- groundshaking. At least insofar as one might consider my head the ground.

Last weekend was a wonderful time filled with hanging out with those of you I know and love in this fair city. However, it was yet another weekend where very little economic input was coming from me and though I had lots of fun I was left feeling like a mooch. And if there is one type of human I have absolute hatred for at this point in the game, it's a mooch. So there's part of it. I was a mooch last weekend and I hate mooches. Something's got to change.

Part of the mooching resulted in my accepting a pack of cigarettes that I lacked the funds for at the time. And then I got home from my weekend of mooching and found that my finances didn't really allow for the purchase of cigarettes. And boy was I pissed. I tried cleaning my room and ended up throwing just about everything I picked up due to frustration tied with some aspect of where it was when I picked it up or some minor difficulty involved in putting it away. Then something got me really angry (something physical and substantial- not just the lame philosophical shit I usually go off on) and I just had to get out. So I went for a walk. And that walk was brisk. And that walk became a run. I ran for like two miles without stopping. Yes. I, who claim to be willing to walk to Cuba before running a block, ran for two miles. And did my little brain race.

My brain raced and said it was time to stop being a mooch. That means getting finances in order. That means cutting out wasteful expenses. Four dollars a day time thirty days a month equals one hundred and twenty dollars that could go to anything else. Anyfucking thing else. But I would be facing an increase in appetite and a hit in metabolic rate. This would not be the last night I'd be running. As I ran and felt my blood pumping and my muscles working in concert to move me forward, I realized what needed to happen. For twenty-six years I have dumped endless unrelated facts into my head. I have watched behind the music. I have read trivial pursuit cards. I put a blue led in my old answering machine just to see if I could do it. I've focused me attentions on a porn star and collected every picture I could find. I've seen the heart of a nuclear missile laid open and then reassembled. I can easily and confidently explain the origin of the term "breakdancing". My brain may not be the best when compared to those of my esteemed associates, but it's got a fair amount of sharp to it. My body is what is lacking. And that is going to change.

It's about fucking time.

I have goals. In the long run, I am aiming for something a little short of swoll. Why not swoll? Am I simply aiming low so that I don't have to work too much? No. Two reasons. One, I don't like the word swoll. Two, I've never much cared for the muscle-bound look. But I want command of this meat I'm living in. I want to knock out a few pullups. I want to knock out way more than a few pushups. And already I am making progress towards this. Within two months, if I stay focused, I should be able to enjoy a trip to the beach without the protection of a shirt to cover my pale, flabby self. And I have one person to thank as proof that all of this is possible.

I called him fat and he made himself not fat. And now I will do the same with myself. And then I will have achieved my own definition of ubermensch. I will be in possession of a sharp mind and a developed body. I will be able to carry my own in an argument as I have always done- with strongarm tactics like "shutup, you're fat". And I'll be able to last maybe a minute or two in a fight, as opposed to the ten seconds I could muster now. Regrettably, this has not been a very well-reasoned or laid out update, but it's been a few days of bnetd stuff and this is really just a mission statement. This is something for people to rib me about and ask if I'm keeping up with. This is not the "I'm not gonna drink thing". I lacked true purpose then. I do not now.

Over and out.

Dude, these mushrooms are good
Cel - a - bration time, come on!

Well, another birthday is here, and as is the custom, we must display the privates of one of our writers. Its a lovely tradition that dates back to, well, it doesn't date back that far, but I did it for Miss A sometime ago, so I'm repeating it here.

So Ian, how doth it feel? I find it pretty funny that a lot of our friends have birthdays compacted in such a close proximity: Ian, then Jason, then Matt, Peter, Brenda, me etc... All crunched between the end of February to the end of May. I guess it would be a hedonistic time of the year for all of us, except for the fact that Ian decided to lay off the sauce for lent this year.

Speaking of which, the martini party went smashingly, and Ian finally did collapse under the peer pressure and had a drink or two.

Well, happy birthday and all that jazz. I tried to call you tonight for the swim, but alas, no answer. And that wraps up this post. Short and sweet like...

[UPDATE] On a more somber note, it appears that Cowboy Bebop is no longer part of the Adult Swim line up. Fucking bastards. I believe its been transfered over to Saturday night's Toonami shindig. That sucks for one reason: Toonami blows whale dick. I watched the swim tonight, and after Space Ghost C2C, they played about a half hour of Rocky and Motherfucking Bullwinkle (un-AdultSwimonized) and then went to the gay ass Popye shit.

See you later space cowboy.

Oh Yes, You Will Be Mine...
I've been forced into a long haul of sobriety recently. Somewhat like Ian part of if is self inflicted, and unlike him, part of it isn't. Allow me to explain...

When I first started smoking, its was cool, I could have a cigarette when I was in the mood, or I could pass; no biggie. After about three years of ever increasing addiction, one day I tried to look back on the last day I could remember where I didn't smoke a cigarette and guess what, I couldn't. I couldn't even remember a day where I didn't smoke half a pack at the least. It was an extremely shocking experience. Unfortunately for me at the time, and presently, I enjoy smoking way too much for me to ever try to take a leisurely dent in my consumption.

Snap to the present. About three weeks ago, after a particularly harsh binge, I woke up for work on a Monday, drunk off my ass from the night before. I went through the motions of my job with head pounding and stomach churning, regretting all of my actions from the previous night. That day at work I tried to think back to the most recent day in which I had not imbibed the devil's brew. You know, hooch, booze, firewater, whatever your personal pet name for the spirits are. Once again I was floored with the revelation that I could not even glimpse a day in recent history that I had not sought out to alter my frame of consciousness. I know this is starting to sound like my intro speech to a 12-step program, but trust me, its a lot more shallow.

This revelation, combined with me being sick of going to work hung over, or worse yet still drunk, along side of the fact that I was in ship shape physically before I started drinking around the house, I have decided to lay off during the week, and target my mind altering chemical abuse on the weekend. I think it should all in all be a good venture.

Then comes another catalyst to my already shaky situation with alcohol: antibiotics. I got strep last week and ended up having to take antibiotics to get it under control. The good lord saw fit to stretch this arrangement over the weekend, thus effectively voiding my self allotted poisoning during my free time. Not done yet. Then Peter calls and asks me to go fishing on Saturday. Have you ever gone fishing without drinking? I think I may be the only soul on the planet that has had to endure such hardship; its almost an impossibility.

So, here I am. Monday. A whole week ahead of me before I can allow myself to do what unfortunately comes naturally now: drink heavily. Its going to be hard, but god knows, with the help of my friends, I'm going to bring myself to the brink of death this weekend, clinging to walls and wallowing in my own sick. It should be fun.

PS: after loading that picture up, along with a brief conversation at work today, I realized that I've never had a martini. So, I think I'm going to break my designer drink hymen this weekend and pick up a bottle of gin and vermouth (if that's even what goes in the bastards, I guess I'll look it up) and have a go at it with martini in hand. Cheerio mates.

Alright. I like the ass pics as much as anyone around here, but it's been a few days so I guess it's time for something new. and here it is.

As glitch and girlygirl found out last night, I've officially declared that I'm trying to lay off the sauce till Easter. It's not because I've suddenly found Jesus or decided it's time to fall back on my catholic upbringing, Just been doing some thinking lately and I've realized that I can sit here all day and night and cop nihilistic or whatever and whine about the unfairness of things and how it takes so much money and such to realize any degree of personal freedom OR I can actually shut up and do something about it. So... down with the bottle for lent. This is something I've been meaning to do for a little while and then I remembered about this lent thing and being a kid and how we were supposed to give up something like chocolate or whatever. So it's as much a nod to my childhood as any love for the powerpuff girls or surly upyerass comments.

And just to further solidify this whole thing, I'll try to outline all my reasons and hopefully make this all make sense.

Money that would otherwise go to alcohol can go to other things. like my long-neglected compulsive media purchases.

Been noticing my pants have been a little snug lately.

I'm tired of waking up the day after in a state of panic about what I said the night before and who I said it to. This ranges from the famous "can't take foo seriously until he loses weight" argument of months ago to the rather recent incident of seeing my neighbor out walking his dog one night and yelling "kill that queer". Just kind of time to sit down and shut up a little.

I've been a little in awe of the accomplishments of someone just a few years my senior lately and I've also noticed that there's someone else just a few years my senior who i sure as hell don't want to be. So maybe if I can pull my head together for a bit and get onto some kind of track I can hopefully be closer the the former and not the latter in a few years' time.

I can sit and whine about not liking being alive and writing DNR on my forearms till the cows come home and say that it's okay if I die because I've got x much life insurance, but you know what? That insurance policy is going to expire really soon And since I lack the determination to actually snuff myself I'm going to need to make some changes so that I don't leave anybody with any undue financial burden in the event of my passing.

So there it is. I'm still cool with hanging out and I'm certainly not sitting in judgement of everyone else for continuing the inebriation. God knows i love that detached feeling. If my saying any of this makes any of you uncomfortable I understand. I can't really believe i'm doing this myself.

over and out.

Its kinda like my bike, but not a turd.
Well, since my tail light came in, I figured it was time to buckle down and bring the old Virago (read: virility [read: Male Virility (read: I have a big schlong)]) out of winter-like retirement. Yup, since I got a tool set, which I think makes me a man now, I now have the ability, minus the know-how, to do constructive things with bolts and metal and stuff, and that's exactly what I did all weekend.

So you're asking, "What the fuck did you break?" Well, nothing that I know of; I still have yet to get it on the interstate doing 55mph and have a piston explode through my gas tank, effectively taking out a quarter of my visible facial tissue, if not all. I have to say though, I'm pretty damned proud of myself. With zero knowledge on the subject, I effectively changed the tail light (linking up the power connections et al), changed the plugs and oil, and cleaned what little amount of the carbs that I felt comfortable about taking apart. I took the cover off the carbs, and saw a neat little rubber "diaphram thingy" staring at me. There was also a spring that boingged out of the middle of it, but I just pretended that those kinda things just happen. On the cover there was a little pinhole that I'm guessing gas and/or air goes through. That's what I cleaned. It wasn't all that dirty, but in my mind I just added untold amounts of horsepower to my engine by parting the Red Sea of Carburetor Filth. Let a man have his dream, dammnit!

Anywho, I put'er all back together with no parts to spare (whew), added some Gumout (somekind of sediment cleaner for the fuel lines and carbs) and she was purring like a kitten. A 8 year old, rusty, fucked up kitten with a banged up gas tank; but a kitten none the less.

Now all I need to attain my rightful throne in the gods of motorcycle coolness is to buy a motorcycle that isn't the big turd burger that mine is.

Deep Meditation

The piece above is my latest pastel drawing of my own dog, Sasha. I've drawn Sasha several times, but I wanted to draw her in a peaceful, spiritual way. She often naps in the sunlight and I love how the light plays upon her coat. She's a girly girl, so I captured her napping on iridescent tulle. I snapped several photos of her sleeping and then drew this portrait using my favorite photo as reference.

"Deep Meditation" is 11x14" in size. It is drawn in pastels on smooth, white vellum paper.

Chicken With Attitude

Here is my latest pastel, called "Chicken With Attitude". I met this particularly grumpy hen at the Cheshire County Fair in Swanzey, NH. I was snapping reference photos in the agricultural area and put the lens of my camera through the chicken wire to snap some pics of the chickens. Most of the chickens were happily pecking at their food. This chicken, however, moved closer and closer to my camera with its head cocked to the side. She wanted to attack and I wanted to move my camera as fast as possible. The photo that I snapped during this moment was the inspiration and reference for the drawing above.

"Chicken With Attitude" is 8x10" in size. It is drawn with soft pastels on smooth, white vellum.

The Annenberg Retreat
With Sunnylands Center & Gardens

Departing: Wednesday, May 9, 2018
Limited Space

1 Day Package
1 Meal Included

Price: $119 Per Person

A unique and exclusive opportunity (tours here may be put on hiatus after 2018) to tour this estate that is rich with historical significance, as it has welcomed Queen Elizabeth II, U.S. presidents and Hollywood icons. Opened to visitors in 2012, this Rancho Mirage estate was the private home of Walter Annenberg, a diplomat and a giant in American media. It was the setting of Hollywood parties, elegant brunches, and holiday feasts attended by the top echelon of the entertainment and political worlds. On an exclusive 90-minute docent-guided tour of the historic house and grounds you’ll walk in the footsteps of presidents and royals and learn about its architecture, interior design and the history of the estate as a private residence and a high-level retreat center. At the Sunnylands Center, enjoy time at leisure to watch the films, browse the art from the Annenberg Collection, and interact with the exhibits that highlight the legacy of philanthropists Walter and Leonore Annenberg. An impressive array of modern sculpture and canvased work by many 19th and 20th century artists including Picasso is on display. You’ll be captivated by 40 years of history in the “Room of Memories”, which features framed photos, letters and memorabilia gifted by the famous icons, presidents and royalty the Annenbergs hosted. The 9 acres of gardens feature 1.25 miles of walking paths and 53,000 individual plants (of 50 different species) planted like an Impressionist canvas. Enjoy an included boxed lunch on the grounds. We’ll make a stop at Hadley’s, famous for their breads, nuts and date shakes.
Depart: FV 8:15 a.m., VS 8:45. Return: 6:30 p.m.

Korean & Chinese Traditional Tea House

Korean and Chinese Traditional Tea House

두레차 (Dure Tea)

This is a tea house where you can taste Korean and Chinese traditional teas.

When we say Korean traditional tea,
it usually means one of Omija tea (오미자차), chrysanthemum tea (국화차),
green tea (녹차), ginger tea (생강차), and jujube tea (대추차).

Puer tea (보이차), green tea (녹차), and Oolong tea (우롱차)
are well known for Chinese tea.

You can try many kinds of tea here in this peaceful small cafe. :)
Also, you can buy bags of tea as a souvenir or present.

I'm having chrysanthemum tea (국화차), and my friend is having lemon tea.
I recommend chrysanthemum tea to beginners.
It's quite mild, and it has no caffeine. :D

Hand-made brownie. It's warm. :D

Roasted rice cake bars! with honey! :)
It has been a common snack for Korean people since long time ago.
We don't see these often these days, but we still love it!

I'm keep refilling hot water in my little tea pot.

Teas are covered with special papers. They all seem like Chinese teas.

Most of teas above taste sweet and mild.
Also, they are all good for your health.

It was a good experience to try something different.
I always try to go to some nice and modern places when I go out with friends,
so I've never thought about a traditional tea house to hang out.
It actually was really good!!!
Quiet.. Cozy.. Warm.. Many different choices of teas.. Healthy.. :))

Genset Control System

Mid - Atlantic d redge company had been considering updating their outdated controls on a dredge vessel and finally determined the time had come to go ahead with the upgrade . U nreliability of the obsolete Woodward analog 2301A speed controls and outdated voltage regulation system we r e the main factors of concern . GCS recommended the Woodward 230 0 E speed control and Basler DECS AVR on their five engine generator sets . A major goal was to add a generator control system for automatic synchronizing, load sharing, generator protection, and other features.

  • 5 x Diesel Engines
  • Woodward 2300E Load Sharing & Speed Control The 2300E replaces the 2301A analog controls, providing load sharing and speed control. Using an external computer (PC) and built-in configuration software, application variations may be custom programmed to accommodate engine speed range, gear teeth, and select forward or reverse acting.

  • Woodward e asyGen 3500 Generator Control S ynchronizer, load sensor, load controller, provides dead bus closing, has VAR/PF control capability, and generator protection functions.

  • Woodward LS-5 Breaker Controller The LS - 5 is a synchronizer, load sensor, and load control designed for tie - reaker applications in an EasyGen based system .

  • Basler DECS Digital Voltage Regulator The DECS digital excitation control systems offer high performance, high flexibility, and extreme reliability for brushless excited AC synchronous generators.
The upgrade was needed for the following reasons:
The performance and reliability of the existing system was poor
The installed controls and voltage regulators were obsolete
Spares were no longer readily available for these controls
The dredge was at risk with continued operation using the obsolete equipment
Maintenance and product support was limited

GCS utilized Woodward's new 2300E Speed Control with Basler's DECS AVR along with Woodward's EasyGen Generator Controller to address these issues. This proven strategy will greatly increase the reliability and overall performance of the generator system on the dredge. GCS was also asked to supply UPS backup power supply batteries for each of set of generator controls to ensure a backup supply is available in case of loss of power.

Elle Décor New York Concept House

I have most certainly racked up the frequent flyer miles in the last few months.
Primarily flying back and forth to New York (poor me…right?). We are working on a few great client projects in New York, including a fabulous apartment in Tribeca.

I know that I mentioned a few months ago that I would be participating in the New York showcase for Elle Décor. After designing a space for the Elle Décor showcase house last fall here in San Francisco (remember my bright pink chinoiserie teenage girls bedroom?), I couldn’t say no at the amazing opportunity to design the kitchen and dining room space.

The project was open for the month May and was a huge success. I am not sure I remember much of the month of May - with two showcase houses open in two cities!

My concept for designing this space was really to take a more casual approach.

Mixing in vintage pieces kept the space feeling light and relaxed. I really wanted to juxtapose texture, objects and shapes (I used a vintage French 1970’s table) against the sleek modern cabinetry. (Special thanks to Bosch for providing new stainless appliances: range, dishwasher and refrigerator)

I really wanted to also use the space to highlight two artists: Jennifer Ament and Michelle Vaughan. I just loved the whimsy in both of their work.

The light fixture was designed by Workstead and really created a wonderful sculptural and industrial layer to the space.
The Moroccan runner was from The Rug Company.

I always love to add a bit of humor and fun to my work.
I wanted to play a bit with the fact that so many New Yorkers don’t really cook or use their kitchens much.

I don’t recall Carrie Bradshaw cooking at all in her kitchen.

"The only thing I've ever successfully made in the kitchen is a mess. And several small fires." - Carrie

To play a bit with this and the concept of “take out” and “delivery”- I took Chinese food menus and created a fun and whimsical backsplash.

I saw this space as a place where someone might have a cup of coffee and yogurt in the morning or put out very simple snacks for a cocktail party.

Special thanks to Jamie Beck for her fabulous photos and to Caitlin Flemming for making that happen!

Yours was one of our favorite rooms and we're so glad the Elle Decor Concept House made it on the list of Blogfest events.

Yours was definitely my favourite. Well done Grant. You deserve a good long rest after this one. What do you have lined up next? Anything closer to home here in the Bay Area?

Brillante Interiors said...

You are amazing, what's next for the golden boy? I love your sense of humour too. Ciao.

Madina Aryeh said...

Grant, fabulous! LOVE the menus-on-walls idea!

Caitlin said...

Loved your space in this Concept House - you did an amazing job!

Thanks for the link love!!

Hi, Love the Chinese menu backsplash!

Full House said...

I know why you loved that emerald green are rocking that green lately by the way...loved the space you just recently designed with the fake flowers on the table:-)

xx - Christina

Katherynn said...

love this design! The take out menus as the backsplash is a great idea! And you're right, Carrie never made anything in her kitchen other than "a mess and some small fires.." she also used her oven to store back issues of vogue, I think :) Love myself some great design and a CB reference! :)

Welcome to the new Grass Valley Grains blog!

We’re busy farming right now, but we’ll be posting some great stuff up here shortly! Interested in something specific? Post it in the comments below!

-Evan Hamilton
Son, Website Guy

4 Responses to “Welcome to the new Grass Valley Grains blog!”

  1. cooking instructions? says:

    Hi! I purchased a bag of your Scottish pinhead oatmeal last weekend at the Nevada City Farmer’s Market and wondered if you could give cooking instructions (oats:water ratio and cooking time)? Thanks in advance! I am looking forward to trying it.

  2. Mark Vance says:

    Hey Reed, Nice to see you up and running with your GVG website!
    I need to procure some of your fabulous flour for bread, pizza and pie crust!

  3. Obviously, I’m better at the farming than the digital communications side. Sorry to be almost 3 months late responding to the request for recipes.

    1 1/2 Cups Pinhead Oatmeal
    3 1/2 Cups Water (or alternatives as above)
    Generous pinch of Salt
    Put water in heavy bottomed pan and bring to the boil on high heat.
    Reduce to medium heat and sprinkle oats on top and stir into water – (doing it this way helps reduce the risk of your porridge getting lumpy). As most people don’t have a Spirtle, using a wooden spoon works just fine! Bring back to the boil over medium heat, stirring continuously.
    Then reduce to low heat, cover with lid and let simmer for around 20 – 30 minutes. Add salt and stir into porridge about half-way through. And don’t forget to stir the porridge every few minutes to stop it sticking and prevent lumps. Although tradition says only stir clockwise, stirring in both directions does have advantages in the ‘de-lumping’ process.
    In this porridge recipe, the cooking time can be varied a bit, depending on how thick and creamy you want your porridge to be.
    Shorter cooking time will make for a thinner porridge with a more chewy texture. Longer cooking will make a thicker, creamier dish. Don’t overdo it though, or you’ll end up with a very ‘stodgy’ meal.
    I like my porridge thin enough that it pours slowly from the pan, definitely not watery or ‘gruel’ like. You can sprinkle a little more salt on top if you like (and you don’t have high blood pressure or a controlled diet). The either pour cold milk, or cream, on top to taste.
    If you want the whole Scottish experience, try pouring cream into a separate bowl and dip your spoonfuls of porridge into it one at a time. It’ll take longer that way, but is really good!
    Useful Tips:

    Porridge has a tendency to become ‘lumpy’ very easily, make sure that you stir often enough, and thoroughly enough to prevent that.
    Adding the salt too early (some porridge recipes suggest putting all ingredients in the pot at the same time) can make the oats hard/tough.
    A heavy stainless-steel pot would be my first choice, but a good quality non-stick is okay if that’s all you have.

    And, Mark, a belated hello.

    We’ll try to pay attention to these posts better in the future.
