Iconic supporting parts in Fargo, The Sopranos, and—of course—30 Rock. So, we’ll skip the long intro and talk about his newest work. [Music fades out.] It’s a TV show called Miracle Workers, a comedy created by the hilarious Simon Rich—the same person behind Man Seeking Woman and a bunch of brilliantly written works you might have seen in The New Yorker, or on one of his many books, or heard on this show.

  • October 2018 Newsletter
    Canterbury Community Newsletter Canterbury Greetings Canterburians, October is filled with the celebrated offerings of all things fall in northern New England, complete with the backdrop of breathtaking reds and oranges of fall color. As part of such a lovely month, I am excited to be sharing with you an invitation to an event many have joined together to plan since we launched a similar event a year ago, and found widespread enthusiasm to build it into an ongoing offering in the greater Canterbury Community. Please consider joining us for all or a portion of this event at Shaker Village at the end of this month: ”Sharing Practices of the Spirit at Canterbury Shaker Village” Everyone is welcomed to a special event at the Shaker Village on Sunday, October 28: a day for exploring spiritual practices from a variety of beliefs, traditions and ways to gather, share, and celebrate our deepest connections. The event is co-sponsored by Canterbury Shaker Village, the Canterbury United Community Church, the Concord Quaker Meeting, and the Church of the Woods / Kairos Earth. The day’s activities are free, family-friendly and run from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Highlights of the day include a variety of workshop offerings, children’s activities, a joint ecumenical worship service, a potluck lunch and a send-off gathering. Offerings collected during the service will benefit the Canterbury Fund. Two sets of workshops, one at 9 and the other at 11:15, will offer opportunities to engage your sense of spirituality through nature, contemplation, song and movement. Here are your options (weather permitting!) at the two times: 9 am: Yoga; a Thomas Merton Contemplative Walk; and Songs of the Spirit.

  • Alan Bennett
    FEBRUARY 2019 The Orchardist's Daughter Karen Viggers A story of freedom, forgiveness and finding the strength to break free. International bestselling writer Karen Viggers returns to remote Tasmania, the setting of her most popular novel The Lightkeeper's Wife. Description Sixteen-year-old Mikaela has grown up isolated and homeschooled on an apple orchard in southeastern Tasmania, until an unexpected event shatters her family. Eighteen months later, she and her older brother Kurt are running a small business in a timber town. Miki longs to make connections and spend more time in her beloved forest, but she is kept a virtual prisoner by Kurt, who leads a secret life of his own. When Miki meets Leon, another outsider, things slowly begin to change. But the power to stand up for yourself must come from within. And Miki has to fight to uncover the truth of her past and discover her strength and spirit. Set in the old-growth eucalypt forests and vast rugged mountains of southern Tasmania, The Orchardist's Daughter is an uplifting story about friendship, resilience and finding the courage to break free. About the Author Born in Melbourne and raised in the Dandenong Ranges riding horses and writing stories, Karen went on to study veterinary science at Melbourne University before working in practice for several years. She completed a PhD in wildlife health, and since then she has worked on a wide range of Australian native animals, including kangaroos. Karen loves landscapes, wild places, people and animals. She is the author of three novels: The Stranding (2008) and the bestselling, The Lightkeeper's Wife (2011) and The Grass Castle.

  • Introduction to Carpentry Tools and Joints
    INTRODUCTION TO CARPENTRY TOOLS 1. Try Square 2. Steel Rule 3. Marking Guage 4. Coping Saw 5. Tenon Saw 6. Penon Saw 7. Ironjack Plane 8. Benchwise 1. Try Square This is used to mark lines at 90 degrees to a straight edge. It is used to mark out lines square to the face edge and face side. It may also be used to check if edges are straight. If the try square is placed on the edge of the material and held up to a light, any light shining through between the material and the try square blade indicates that the edge of the material is not straight. 2. Steel Rule A steel rule is a very accurate marking and measuring tool. The steel is thin and the markings on the rule are very fine. The measurements are in millimetres on one edge and inches on the other. The steel rule can also be used as a straight edge to check if materials or edges of materials are straight. The measurements on the steel rule go all the way to the end unlike the plastic ruler. This is because the rule may be used to measure inside pipes. It may also be used to measure diameters and circumferences of pipes and tubes accurately. The end of the rule with the measurements to the edge is called the zero end. By: Harish Gupta Page 1 3. Marking Guage The marking gauge is used on wood.It is used to mark straight lines parallel to a straight edge.The marking tool has an adjustable stock (the stock slides up and down the stem) and is set using a steel rule.
