Hey there!
Well, we're through the first work week after vacation and we're all still alive, though Ryan has slits for eyes. We're planning a low key weekend with the Patriots game tomorrow (Go Pats!) and maybe a quick IKEA trip on Sunday to pick up the new dresser. Other than that? Sweatpants, my friends. Sweatpants and snacks.
Before I fully commit myself to a weekend of sloth-ing, though, here's what I'm loving lately, for both the little lady and myself.
1. Monogrammed Sneaks
I'm not much of a sneakers person, but I couldn't resist these monogrammed Converse. They're super comfy and make running after a busy toddler a snap.
2. Liv's Backpack and Lunchbox
I posted on instagram yesterday that Liv is starting Mother's Day Out next week which was the perfect excuse to get her a little backpack and lunchbox.
Liv's not loved sitting and reading lately, but I've been trying to find books that hold her interest and, ironically, this one does the trick. It's a super fun read and even though there aren't any pictures, she loves it.
4. Ear Jackets
I'm not very adventurous when it comes to jewelry and edgy, I am not. I saw these little babies at Target over a month ago, though and have been trying them out. They're small and subtle enough to stay within my comfort zone but are fun and different. There's tons of pairs out there, but I really love these (and the price can't be beat).
5. Monograms (duh)
Two of my favorite gifts I've ever received are the Madewell Transport Tote and Wallet and I completed my monogram obsession set with the keyring. I don't know why I can't seem to stop monogramming things, but surely there's a cessation group for this, right?
Hope you all have a great weekend!

Happy Endings
AF> Don't know this shop but thought some of you could use this ["Bicycle Therapy" ad]
CD> I signed my aluminum hardtail bike up for a "happy ending" therapy session. They said it is totally legal and that my bike would ride like a Moots Ti frame afterward...
MM> Yeah but after a few minutes it's gonna want to take a nap
MR> This can't end well...
AF> It only lasted 2 minutes anyway
I just thought that thread deserved to be immortalized (or banished into oblivion - whatever it is that happens when things get posted on this blog).

Natalie is so much a part of me she even showed up in my manuscript At the Hour of the Morning Drink. When her voice begins to shine through in my writing it isn't because I'm sitting with her books in my hand and typing up phrases, it's because her words have done exactly what she said the words of my favourite writers should do; they have been absorbed into a deeper part of my consciousness.
Natalie has been my greatest teacher for many years – without her I might be typing this blog post but I'd have arrived via a quite different route.
Thanks to her I discovered how to trust everything I had been doing. I'd been on the right track all along! I'd been composting, working with my obsessions, going for the jugular. Practising my craft.
I knew it wasn't a bad thing to write pages and pages of words. I knew in my belly that somehow I would figure out what to do with them. Now it was writing practise – I was doing the daily exercise that would one day make me a strong writer.
I knew I needed to be observant but Nat put down on the page concrete ways to do this. Sit in cafes and write about the dried blob of barbecue sauce on the menu, the dry grey décor, the little blond boy at the table opposite, whose sleeves are too short.
She nodded – yes, it's okay to write what's under the surface. The stuff that's not nice.
My writing began to extend. Instead of just writing about LL (lost love) over and over, I wrote about my step-father, my brother, my best friend. I wrote about Deauville and Madeira and Cornwall and London. I began to see my passions in black and white – the themes that would separate me from other writers.
I could write about Nat for hours. How I'd like to play word games with her, sit in cafes and write and write, walk the warm evening streets of Taos with her. Share chocolate chip cookies.
So don't be surprised when she shows up in my writing. She's there along with my other loves as I strive to be more and more myself.
Who shows up in your writing and what do they say?

Computers and networks have changed things about the job hunt. Desirable districts have computerized their application process. I am sure this has made things easier for the hiring managers. I think that being able to go into your database of applicants, putting in your desired qualifications, getting the applications you want without shuffling lots of paper is a great idea.
Assuming the people you want are in there.
I also wonder if it is possible to be too specific during the search. What if "exactly what you want" isn't the best choice? I bet there are a lot of great people who aren't being looked at because the criteria searched didn't match what the applicants entered.
And then there is the applicant. Good hustle used to be good enough to get you noticed by potential employers. Now you have to figure out how to beat the search results!
Does anyone out there have tips on how to get your results up to the top?

I'm reading Hemingway. I feel like Henry, in a Farewell to Arms, drinking himself into jaundice.
Then I see how old he was when he wrote his first novel. 27. Okay there is still time.
Then I remember this interview I saw with Quentin Tarantino. He said that he wasn't ever afraid to die until he wrote Pulp Fiction. After that he was afraid, because maybe that is what he was on the Earth to do. So I looked up how old he was when he wrote Pulp Fiction. 31.
Maybe there is time.
I never feel scared. Maybe that means that I haven't done what I am here to do. Or maybe that means I am just really stupid.

Corbin and Connor – "Cockatiels"
These two boys we believe could be brothers, they do tend to have squabbles like little kids!
They came into Birdline in early April and have been hanging out in foster since that time. Both have been health cleared by our Avian Vet and are now ready to find their new "feathever" family!
These guys lived in a rather large flock and didn't get quite as much socializing with people which has made them a bit shy. As they are only about 7 months old, we are hopeful with some consistent TLC and socializing they will learn to love and trust.
They continue to need some guidance on fresh fruits/veges to replace the high seed diet as well as introducing different pellets.
They will also need a cage suitable for two 🙂
If your interested in these two boys, please contact us at [email protected]
Online application forms are also available online under "guardianship"

Nokia Introduces Lumia 1520 with a 6-inch 1080p display and 20MP camera
Nokia officially announces its Lumia 1520 and 1320 smartphones, the largest Windows Phones yet with a 6-inch 1080p display and 20MP camera in an event in Abu Dhabi yesterday. It is safe to say that this is the Windows Phone you've been holding up for? Assuming that you've been holding out for a flagship with a 6-inch 1080p display, high-resolution 20-megapixel camera and the super fast processor, we'd think the response is likely yes.
We are, obviously, discussing the Nokia Lumia 1520, the long-awaited, big screened smartphone, which has finally been announced at Nokia World in Abu Dhabi. No more space for a third column of live tiles, and the Nokia 1520 will additionally come with GDR3 - the exact most recent Windows Phone 8 build. It'll be Nokia's first Lumia to land with Nokia Camera, another camera application that breakers the best of the Pro and Smart camera that came before it. That polycarbonate shell will come in yellow, red and white color options. The yellow color option that Mr. Elop was brandishing at Nokia World matched the polished look of the Lumia 920.
The Lumia 1320 is an other wide display smartphone announced by Nokia along with its Lumia 1520 model, however its a more level end phone for a basic level customer. It drops the 1080p display for a 720p panel, steps down to a dual-core Snapdragon 400 processor with 1GB of RAM, and has a standard 5-megapixel Camera.
Both Nokia smartphones Lumia 1520 and 1320 run the most recent version of Windows Phone 8, which empowers the bigger, higher-resolution display and new quad-core processor found in the 1520. The Lumia 1520 will be available in dark, red, yellow, and white in the United States, UK, France, Germany, China, Hong Kong, and Singapore, while the 1320 will be in orange, yellow, dark, and white in China and Vietnam right away. Both mobile phones are expected to be available in the market and retail stores at the end of this year for $749 and $339 respectively

Former West Ham United and Ipswich Town midfielder Jack Collison has taken to social networking site Twitter to express his delight at signing for Peterborough United.

The 26-year-old moved to Ipswich on a short-term deal in September, but he failed to make a competitive appearance for the Championship outfit.
In fact, the Wales international midfielder has not featured in a competitive game since May 2014 because of a knee injury.
Collison is delighted to have found a new club and is looking forward to the 2015-16 campaign.
Very excited to have signed for @theposhdotcom .. Looking forward to working with @DaveRobertson11 & @grantmccann11 . Roll on next season— Jack collison (@Jcollison31) May 29, 2015
Thanks for all the messages... Can't wait to get started now.. I have missed it so much— Jack collison (@Jcollison31) May 29, 2015
Manchester United midfielder Nick Powell, who played with Collison during a loan spell at Wigan Athletic, is delighted with the Welshman's move to Peterborough.
Good luck breath! https://t.co/TVS30jD0z1— Nick Powell (@NPowell25) May 29, 2015
Peterborough finished ninth in the League One table in the 2014-15 season with 63 points from 46 matches, six points behind sixth-placed Chesterfield.

Nice article on filmmaker joe swanberg and he is my all time favorite. I watch his movies on my OneBox HD App which has all his movies and tv serieses. OneBox HD App(https://oneboxhdappapk.com/onebox-hd-apk/) much better than ShowBox.
Filmmaker Joe Swanberg on "Win It All"
"Win It All" stars Jake Johnson and is now streaming on Netflix
Apr 07, 2017 Web Exclusive
Even though filmmaker Joe Swanberg was directing scenes with Jake Johnson and Keegan Michael-Key — two comedic actors renowned for being quick on their feet — his latest film was the least improvisational of the director's career. Titled Win It All, the movie has the most fleshed out plot of any Swanberg movie, featuring a story written by him and Johnson about a fiendish gambler plays away an entire duffel bag full of cash belonging to a dangerous convict. The result: more positive reviews than any film Swanberg has garnered in his career of niche, off-the-cuff style flicks.
Below, the beloved indie director tells us about becoming more of a refined filmmaker, why that might not lead to him helming the next Transformers sequel, and why he feels like a troubled gambler every time he makes a film.
Kyle Mullin [Under the Radar]: Even though Win It All has less improv than your prior movies, it must have been fun to see skilled improvisationalists like Jake and Keegan work together.
Joe Swanberg: It was amazing. Joe Lo Truglio, too. [Lo Truglio plays Johnson's older brother.] I was in the presence of some real heavy hitters. You feel really safe doing comedy with people who have a strong sense of story, and who are equally comfortable doing dramatic work. For me, comedy is rooted in character, and has to be true to the character to be worth anything. So it's really fun to shoot with actors like that.
To me, it's a common mission-- everybody's better when they're being generous scene partners. So I like to work with people who are naturally funny but also aren't gunning to be the funniest one in the scene, or aren't trying to tell more jokes than everyone else. I want them to help advance the story, and they be naturally funny enough that those jokes just happen to do that. I had a blast working with those guys and learned a lot from them.
You and Jake wrote this film together. What do you enjoy most about that collaboration?
It's really great. It's the third time we've worked together. [Before that they wrote 2015's Digging for Fire together, which Johnson starred in. Swanberg also cast Johnson in 2013's Drinking Buddies.] Each time out we push each other to do something new, and expand the process.
So we really wanted to write this time. Even though we did a lot of improv on set we really committed to sitting down and writing a script. It was great, having this familiarity of a collaborator that I've worked with before, but it also being a brand new process for me.
I've often struggled as a writer, it doesn't come naturally to me. But Jake is a really talented writer. And I learned a lot from the process of working with him, and observing his writing style and also the idea of imagining a movie on paper. In our next collaboration I think we'll keep pushing in that direction. I've made a lot of movies, and the process of trying to learn and grow is one that's really interesting to me.
And critics are praising you for it. One wrote that this is your "most polished work yet" but that it's "no less impactful" than your other movies.
Yeah, I feel the same way about it. We pushed to tell a story, three structured acts. But I still wanted to have a relaxed and natural feel. Jake knows me, and we were able to achieve that without looking like we were trying too hard.
Hopefully I'm getting better as a filmmaker, and I'm trying to learn from my successes and failures. I want to develop more as a visual story teller too.
What do you mean by that?
Early on in my career I actively avoided having a visual style. I just wanted the actors to entirely dictate where the camera was. I was following improvised takes, and capturing them the way a documentarian would.
After doing that on several projects and honing my skills in that way. But, around the time I did Alexander the Last, I started thinking about keeping the spontaneity while also expanding the visual palate of the movies. At this point I feel like I have enough of a handle on the kind of performances I'm looking for from the actors, that I'm able to play with dolly moves and steady cam and a lot of visual elements that are were way out of my consciousness before.
I love the idea of you having elaborate new toys to play with, like dollies, and I hope that someday you can do a 15 minute tracking shot with lots of Michael Bay style explosions.
(Laughs) The truth is I'm open to everything. The way that I choose projects changes year to year, and the things I'm interested in change all the time. Trying new things is very exciting for me, I don't want to get locked into making the same movie over and over. The extended Micahel Bay explosion shot isn't in my head right now, but I don't want to speak for my future self.
So if you have such eclectic interests, does that mean you also have eclectic influences that inform your work?
Yes for sure. But I couldn't give you direct connections between what's inspired me and how my films have turned out, except for a movie called Sticky Fingers, a comedy from the 80's about two struggling singers in New York city that end up with a duffle bag full of drug money. That was definitely a fun reference point and starting point for Win It All.
I've read that some of your prior films were inspired by your personal life or that of your friends. Digging for Fire had some of that. Was that the case with Win It All?
The sibling relationship in Win It All isn't inspired by any real incidents. But the feelings that Joe Lo Truglio's character has, being the older brother and the more responsible one, is definitely something I relate to. I'm happy taking care of my brother, it's a pressure that often falls on the eldest.
And Jake and I also really relate to the gambling aspect of his character, in terms of the film work we do. The way we put our own money into these movies. I very much have felt like: "Okay, here we go, I'm going to bet it all on black right now." It's really fun and nice to bring along that personal quality. But for the first time in a long time, because this film was written so carefully and was very much fiction and not relying on improv, it was a nice breath of fresh air. Because some of my prior films could become so overwhelming, because they were so personal for everyone. It was good to tell a story more liberated from reality and was more happy fun.

My creative space
Thursday, 12 November 2009
Today I'm struggling with photography. It feels like a struggle sometimes, especially when you're trying to shoot by natural light and heavy clouds full of snow are wondering in the sky waiting to burst open. Tried different backgrounds, changed rooms... Almost gave up... And then my eyes were caught by that mother of pearl - one of those beautiful things you keep just because they are beautiful. Haven't finished the shooting and editing yet, but it looks like I might end up with some good enough photos.

I just got back from the most wonderful pre-holiday celebration. My boyfriend's parents hosted a Christmas Eve One Day Early party at their house. I wanted to tell you all about it, so I wrote a few paragraphs about how the night went, who was there, and what we did, but then I deleted it. It's impossible for me to write about the night in a way that would honor it, and also, I want to keep it personal. It was that good.
I had the most fantastic night. I've been complaining about all that's wrong lately, and tonight reminded me of all that's right. Love, family, celebrations. Everything was right. Everything. Nine children under the age of ten ran around the house, laughing. I was totally in the moment, and very thankful.
I am keeping this short, because I am still high from the happiness of the night and I want to go to sleep encompassed by this feeling. I just thought that since I've shared all my problems with you, I should also share the good stuff.
Life can be pretty damn amazing.

So, the DOW has tanked... again. This is becoming habitual. I haven't looked at my 401K since sometime in August, and I won't, except I'm considering at least diversifying a bit into Bonds or Gold or something.
I haven't made a decision there. But for the moment I'm loooking at my 401k as a long run proposition so I'm basically going to let it ride.
But I really need to thank Barak Obama for the great economy he's fostering right now. Since for the first time in the FOUR years I've worked here, I'm not going to get a raise of any type. We got the email the other day. No Merit increases this year.
They put them off til April, and now they're out and out canceling it. My 3 to 5 percent increase isn't much, compared to what I got my first couple years in this job - but now where's my inclination to get up and do a better then average job to hopefully get my merit increase hm?
I was really looking for that increase to offset my pay LOSS to going to days.
Thanks a lot, Mr President - you've sure helped this middle class worker out a huge amount.

This post is concerning the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church of saints in heaven praying to the Father for us upon our request. I want to start this article by explaining the differences between saints on Earth and our responsibility to pray to the Father and the saints who are in heaven with the Father. I believe there is a change of roles once you go to heaven and I'll out line that later. I also see it as dangerous to attempt contact with anyone deceased whether they are in heaven or in hell. Another problem is how this teaching downplays the weight that your faith backed prayers hold, as long as you have faith your prayer is on equal value as Mary's faith backed prayers where. God has no favorites. The biggest problem of all is that there is no scriptural foundation for this teaching. Please open your mind and Bible as we look into this subject.
"The witnesses who have preceded us into the kingdom,41 especially those whom the Church recognizes as saints, share in the living tradition of prayer by the example of their lives, the transmission of their writings, and their prayer today. They contemplate God, praise him and constantly care for those whom they have left on earth. When they entered into the joy of their Master, they were "put in charge of many things."42 Their intercession is their most exalted service to God's plan. We can and should ask them to intercede for us and for the whole world."
Roman Catholic Catechism # 2683
Saints Alive and Dead
First, I want to point out that saints who are in heaven are much more alive than we are now on Earth, they are in their resurrected bodies (1Cor 15) and are enjoying God's fullness. However to lessen the confusion in this post I will refer to those saints in heaven as dead saints, they died, were judged, and passed because they were saved by Christ. We however (assuming you are a Christian) are living saints. As I studied this subject on various Catholic sites I discovered an interesting mind set among all of them: Catholic doctrine teaches that dead saints carry the same responsibilities, abilities, and duties as us living saints. This, however I do not agree with. Once Christians die and are in heaven they enjoy God's fullness and await the Second Coming of Christ where they will return with Him in their resurrected bodies to enter in to yet a third set of responsibilities and duties as they dwell in the New Jerusalem during the millennial reign. However, Catholics uphold that because the New Testament encourages the living saints to pray for other living saints that saints who have passed on to heaven should continue to do the same. This is something I find no where in the Bible.
In the Bible I have yet to find any example of
- a saint in heaven praying to God
- a living saint asking a dead saint to pray for them or with them
- an Apostle or author encouraging their audience to speak to a dead saint
The actual activity of saints in heaven is not very detailed in the Bible so to interject ones own opinions (aka the Catechism) is dangerous. A common error is considering that the angels of God and saints of God (in heaven) do the same stuff. I found many scriptures of angelic activity being mentioned as proof for the Catholic teachings of praying to or through the saints. This simple cannot be done, angels and dead saints have different roles and cannot be held at the same level. Angels are used to deliver messages to man and to report to God, they even travel from heaven to Earth often. However heavenly saints are not ever recorded as having these same duties or abilities. Angels in heaven are active servants of God unto the saints (Heb1:14), however heavenly saints are not. The few mentions in the Bible of contact with the dead are connected to the sin of witchcraft and divination. The one time that a dead saint was reached was when Saul and a witch did a seance, however Samuel who was contacted was in Sheol (not heaven) and he was not happy about what Saul had done (1 Samuel 28:7-19). This contact was a sin in God's eyes.

Nathan's review published on Letterboxd :
This was rather disappointing -- a far less sophisticated rehash of Five Easy Pieces with the same director and lead actor, unfortunately cluttered here by the presence of Bruce Dern as radio personality Jack Nicholson's screwed up scam-artist brother. What should be an absorbing dynamic leads to a series of disconnected scenes that are stilted and curiously muted. It's beautifully photographed by Laszlo Kovacs and Nicholson's performance is admirably restrained -- his monologues, especially the one that opens the film, are a highlight -- but it takes low-key to such a Robert Altman-like extreme that it quickly grows dull and ineffective. Not even Ellen Burstyn doing her best to take over the Karen Black role from Pieces can rescue it; the broadness of her performance is badly mismatched with the lethargy in the rest of the film, and the same goes for the sudden injection of "plot" she initiates at the finale, which is a violation from which the film's carefully maintained tone cannot recover.
Having now watched everything in the BBS box, I must admit that its contents were far from what I hoped. Going in I knew that I loved Five Easy Pieces and The Last Picture Show and hated Easy Rider, and I knew I dig the Monkees, but not one of the remaining films surprised or fascinated me in the same way those two did. (Head came closest, and I did like Drive, He Said.) The only shock was that a film as awful as A Safe Place could manage to be released by Columbia Pictures at all. There's no question that the production company marked a very specific, creatively fruitful place and time and it's hard not to lament a time when a company could get relative freedom from a studio to make movies this unconventional... but "unconventional" doesn't necessary equate to "inspired," and I have a hard time believing anyone could watch the films included in the set and fail to conclude that Pieces and especially Picture Show are a hell of a cut above, to an almost comical extent.

Jessica Simpson is planning to become a jewellery designer, according to reports.
After releasing her own fashion collection, the singer and reality TV star is allegedly in talks with jeweller Pascal Mouawad to create a new exclusive line.
An insider told Fox News: "Jess and her mum are really pushing the wedding rings. Jess wants her own line but Pascal isn't so keen on that.
"He wants to work with her, but definitely doesn't think wedding rings would be appropriate for Jessica."
Mouawad collaborated with Nicole Richie on her House of Harlow range last year.

text: A few months ago a woman stopped Shannon and I on the street to take our pictures for a street style blog, and today I noticed it was posted! I'm still a bit confused as to why I was stopped, I'm pretty sure it's because I was with my stylish coworker who gets stopped a lot, and I happened to be with her, but I'll take it. The picture of us? Not the greatest, but hey what the hell.

We'd been hearing about it for weeks.
"Trust me this masonry, while similar to the Chacoan style, is not nearly as precise as Pueblo Bonito Architecture…"
"These two Chacoan outliers have identical great houses that are bi-fold from other another…"
"The D-shaped structure which resembles the unique style of Chaco Canyon…"
It seemed that we couldn't go a day without hearing about this elusive and mysterious place. To the native desert dwellers like me, the idea of "Chaco"had been imbedded in our brains since birth. Whether or not we had been there, Chaco was a part of our southwestern blood. Green chile, tumbleweed tornados, fire dangers never dipping below severe, and Chaco Canyon all define our southwest. However, to the foreign east coasters, Chaco was the Holy Grail of southwestern archaeology. Always talked about in high regards, always sought after, yet never truly understood.
It was nine of us who set out that hot Saturday morning. The quest for the Holy Grail had begun and the threat of 100 degrees was not to stop us. We knew what was in store for us. 5 long legged people in a car for 3 hours with no air conditioning and a broken radio playing only christian rock. It was a feat that would have driven the weak of heart to return quickly to the safety of swamp coolers. Whether it was madness or determination that drove us ever farther into the desert, we will never know.
Liz was our King Arthur and I was her faithful sidekick Patsy. The only two New Mexicans in a car full of East Coasters. Laila as Sir Lancelot the Brave, Kayla as Sir Galahad the Pure, and Dara as Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot. Our quest was wrought with obstacles as we watched in terror as two dogs walked back and forth across the back of the moving truck that had no walls. We braved the anticipation that came with hitting "Scan" on the radio. What fateful song would enter into our hearts and minds? We fought the Black Knight and won as the road changed from the wonderful Colorado pavement to that of the New Mexican cracked and broken. Our quest was long and sweaty, but as we turned onto the final stretch long dirt road and the endless desert landscape lay out before us, we were reminded of why we began this quest to begin with.
We regrouped with our fellow travelers at the entrance. The great mesa loomed on the horizon and the heat rose around us in waves. In a flurry of souvenirs, filling water bottles, rearranging cars, pointing to maps, and photographing the unphotographable landscape, we split into different groups, and dispersed.
The Quest for the Holy Grail of southwestern archaeology continued. And like King Arthur and his band of misfits, the path there was winding and wandering one. The rangers who say "did you know…?" demanded payment in the form of a shrubbery (or maybe just 16$ per car…) Our attempts at disguising ourselves from the UV rays using sunscreen worked as well as the Trojan Rabbit worked at entering the castle. Clapping my coconuts together to led my three east coast knights through a slot canyon and onto the flat endless mesa.
The temperature creeped closer and closer to 100 degrees and the Irish among us did not fare well, yet we trekked onward. Like the dorks that we were, every null and every dip was an ancient and wondrous feature. We crowded around a sherd of pottery and with our expert knowledge of 5 weeks, quickly identified the small square of hardened mud. I loved being around people who, like me, wanted to point out every possible feature, every interesting window shape, and every block in the wall. Our quest took us through Pueblo Alto, which rose out of landscape and reminds me of the iconic monument of Stonehenge. We journeyed across the never ending mesa. The landscape comes alive and stretches to the ends of the earth. Something which can never be captured in pictures, never be captured in words, lay before us.
As we reached the final slot canyon which took us down to the outlook of the elusive Pueblo Bonito, we asked our three questions.
"Why is it so hot?!"
"Why is only the backs of our knees burning?!"
"Have we passed the lookout yet?!"
But unlike Arthur, Patsy, and the faithful knights, we reached our Holy Grail. We stood, awestruck. Some of us at a loss for words, and some of us with too many. To describe Pueblo Bonito is a feat I dare not attempt. I would love to describe to you the wonders of the masonry, the beauty of each of the stones, the way the light bounced across the canyon. I would love to describe to you everything. Each pictograph. Each stone. Each bead of sweat that dripped down our backs.
But alas I cannot. No one can. Just as no one will ever be able to describe the Holy Grail. However, the Holy Grail of Southwestern Archaeology is in our reach. In the stretching landscape of Northern New Mexico, nestled beneath the mesa, lies our beautiful, elusive, and mysterious Chaco Canyon.

There was so much else I wanted to write about today - Tranmere and Hertha Berlin are both second in their respective league tables, I've got a trip to the San Siro lined up for next week, and Joni Mitchell has a new album out.
However, the Mail continues to play the immigration card as election fever hots up. To be fair, the story was also covered in other papers, notably the Telegraph but I want to kick the DM/Mail on Sunday because like Mount Everest, it is there.
Today's piece of dodgy statistics centres on the figures for crime in London. Again, their use of these figures is carefully crafted to extract maximum fear and loathing. It does not matter that the figures actually tell a different story. Again Iwould recommend the analysis of 5 Chinese Crackers here and in other earlier posts on that blog.
The story can be found here.
I covered the misuse of stats in earlier rantings. This latest story refers to the Cambridgeshire story and in my post of 14th August I picked apart a similar scare story about foreigners committing crime in the capital. As I said then, when looking at the ethnicity of London:
- Wikipedia quotes the last Census of 2001 thus:In the 2001 census, 71.15% of these seven and a half million people classed their ethnic group as white (classified as White British (59.79%), White Irish (3.07%) or "Other White" (8.29%, mostly Polish, Greek Cypriot, Italian and French)), 12.09% as Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi or "Other Asian" (mostly Sri Lankan, Arab and other South Asian ethnicities), 10.91% as Black (around 7% as Black African, 4.79% as Black Caribbean, 0.84% as "Other Black"), 3.15% as mixed race, 1.12% as Chinese and 1.58% as other (mostly Filipino, Japanese, and Vietnamese). 21.8% of inhabitants were born outside the European Union. The Irish, from both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, number approximately 200,000, as do the Scots and Welsh combined. Although, Wikipedia can sometimes be less than accurate, it is clear that, allowing for an increase in the last 6 years after the entry of other countries into the EU, the figure of 30% is a good starting point.
Therefore the figures are blatantly being exploited to pander to the readership. Theheadline about Poles is not even an accurate reading of the figures. Do Mail journalists understand mathematics? As I have said before, I do not believe that playing the race card will reap dividends as seen with the terrible trio of Hague, Howard and Duncan-Smith. I do hope this is the case, and that they will merely preach to the converted, or drive them into the arms of the UKIP or BNP.
The Telegraph helpfully publishes a league table for the crimes! This was not the kind of table I had in mind this morning! The DM at the time of writing had not conjured up any reaction from its readers, but the DT did have the usual predictable comments. However, hats off to Dr. Keith Anderson of Durham Business School for his pertinent point,
- The article contains a statistical oversight, and a deliberate misrepresentation of the facts by the Conservatives. The statistical oversight is to take no account of the base-line figure. From my (mercifully rare) travels on the Tube, I would guess that at least half the people in London at any one time are foreigners. If the true proportion is anything more than 20%, then the foreigners are actually more law-abiding than Londoners are. The rather more sinister misrepresentation of the facts by the shadow immigration minister is to describe people from Eastern Europe as immigrants. These people have the right to live and work here, just as we have the right to go and live in Poland if we want. They have effectively been redefined as not really immigrants at all. Like it or not, this is part and parcel of belonging to the EU. Damian Green implies that we can somehow control EU 'immigration' without leaving the EU. But this is a bullet his party is not prepared to bite.Posted by Dr. Keith Anderson
The depressing thing is that this is not the first such example and it will not be the last. To Mr Slack and his fellow writers I refer you to John Lennon's question, 'How do you sleep at night?'
The Mail's website has now amended the headline to 'immigrants' in place of 'Poles' as they've suddenly realised it was total crap.
UPDATE: The Sequel (24th September)
some of the comments that have now appeared are most encouraging. See what happens when you allow free speech, moderators of the DM? Even the normally strange Mark, Poplar makes a good point, and doesn't mention his religious school education.
- Presumably the term foreigner in this context doesn't include immigrants who have since been naturalised. I am not sure what percentage people living in London is non-British. These figures can only indicate whether foreigners commit more or less crime than the British if appropriate comparisons are made.- Mark, Poplar London England
- I can see how you mention the Poles in this article because they are the number one offenders. It stands to reason that the number one offender is going to be mentioned. That makes sense. But why is it always that Romanians get pegged. They are mentioned as fifth. What happened to 2nd, 3rd, and 4th?- Rick, UK
- Nice job with the numbers there... 1/5 of crimes are committed by foreign nationals... out of those, 10 percent could be Poles. But don't let the facts get in the way of a sensational headline.- Statistician, Upper Uncton
The completely suspicious self-appointed vigilante, Albert also spews forth:
- They might "seek to deport Foreign Nationals" but NuLabs own laws make it impossible, and the Home Office is fully aware of that fact!- Albert Hurwood, National Vigilante Organisation., Corby, Northants, UK
His website (Navigor) is very interesting and if you google him you will see allegations of links to the BNP.
- They are not criminals, according to our Marxist government, they are victims of society who can be cured. It is the honest law abiding people that are to blame.- Douglas, Swansea
This is just insane. Has this man ever read Karl Marx. answer begins with 'N' and ends with 'O'.
FINALLY, the great Polish polymath, Franciszek makes his debut in the Mail:
- Again, the figures back up the fact that foreigners are more law abiding than the indigenous population.- Franciscek Weems,, Lodz, Poland
His newly found relative Jacqui, known in Poland as osioł, must be very proud.

Raven-Symoné Addresses Gay Rumors In A Twitter Rant: 'My Sexual Orientation Is Mine'
Who needs a publicist? These days, celebrities are doing damage control on their own via Twitter.
Earlier this week, we broke the news that former Cosby kid Raven-Symoné was rumored to be shacking up with a former America's Next Top Model contestant by the name of Azmarie Livingston. Less than 48 hours after the rumor mill started churning, Raven took to Twitter to address the rumors on her own.
"I'm living my PERSONAL life the way I'm happiest," she tweeted. "I'm not one, in my 25 year career, to disclose who I'm dating. and I shall not start now. My sexual orientation is mine, and the person I'm datings to know. I'm not one for a public display of my life. However that is my right as a HUMAN BEing whether straight or gay. To tell or not to tell. As long as I'm not harming anyone. I am a light being made from love. And my career is the only thing I would like to put on display, not my personal life. Kisses!"
Not exactly what we call a denial! Seems like the Broadway star currently garnering rave reviews as Delores Cartier in Sister Act is keeping mum. But, according to several reliable sources Raven is living her life on her terms regardless of the rumors.
"Raven has lost almost 30 pounds, has done a whole image makeover, and now she is the star of 'Sister Act' on Broadway," a source said. "Raven has hidden being gay for a long time now. But, about a year ago, she was introduced by a friend to AzMarie, who is absolutely gorgeous. The two began seeing each other, and a few months ago, Raven finally got the nerve to ask her to move into her lavish Manhattan condo. When her family found out, they blew their stack and it's created a gay scandal for Raven. She told her parents she loves them, but her home—especially her bedroom—is nobody's business, and she was not going to back down, so they needed to accept it, period."
What do you think: Should Raven keep her private life private or, if the rumors are true, should she come out of the closet?

My personal criteria for picking a topic is: It has to be fun. It has to be interesting. It should be as relevant as possible to people in my class. It has to be NEW, or original, as I want to learn something from it as well.
So here are some of my final topic options:
- Making fake UFO photo's (The "Fourth Kind" movie. super creepy!)
- Make a birdhouse (did it before, but think it would be fun to try again)
- Identify if a Louis Vuitton bag is authentic. (cuz I Love Bags!)
- Use home tooth whitening kits
- Presentation on Jelly fish (Watched "7 Pounds" with Will Smith; very good movie)
- How To Make Time capsules
- Strange new years resolutions
- Five ways to disturb your competitors in a sand castle competition. (this is just funny!)

STEWART MANAGO, PLAINTIFF,v.BRAD WILLIAMS, ET AL., DEFENDANTS.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Kendall J. Newman United States Magistrate Judge
Plaintiff is a state prisoner, currently incarcerated at the California Correctional Institution ("CCI"), who proceeds, in forma pauperis and without counsel, in this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Defendants have filed two motions for summary judgment, which are now fully briefed. Presently pending is plaintiff's June 4, 2012 motion requesting the court's authorization fo file a motion for reconsideration of this court's order filed April 9, 2012.*fn1 In pertinent part, that order directed defense counsel for defendant Brockett to return confidential audio and written material to the CCI Legal Affairs Office, for the purpose of according plaintiff additional opportunity to access the material, and additional time to respond to the material in a surreply. Defense counsel filed a notice of compliance with the court's order. Plaintiff thereafter filed a surreply, rendering the motions for summary judgment fully briefed.
Nevertheless, in the present motion, plaintiff states that he was not given access to the audio files, or the transcript, of the relevant testimony of defendants Brockett and Chapman before the State Personnel Board, relative to the termination of defendant Brockett (Case No. 06-0655). The court's review of this confidential material, submitted under seal by defense counsel, indicates that there were three days of hearings over a nine-month period, on May 2, 2007, January 24, 2008, and February 25, 2008. The audio quality is poor, and it appears that no transcript of these proceedings has been provided to the court, although the administrative law judge stated at the first hearing that transcripts could be requested.
Accordingly, defendant Brockett will be required to provide both plaintiff and the court a copy of the full transcript of these proceedings, or show cause why this task cannot be completed. After defense counsel has complied with this order, the court will address the necessity of a supplemental briefing schedule in this case, due both to the supplemental material, and the Ninth Circuit's recent decision in Woods v. Carey, __F.3d __, 2012 WL 2626912 (9th Cir., July 06, 2012).
For these reasons, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. Plaintiff's motion (Dkt. No. 232), is denied in part and granted in part; plaintiff shall file no further matters in support of his motion but is granted relief as provided herein.
2. Within ten (10) days after the filing date of this order, counsel for defendant Brockett shall:
A. File under seal, and serve on plaintiff, one copy each of the full transcript of the above-described proceedings; OR
B. Show cause why counsel is unable to comply with this order.
3. Also within ten (10) days after the filing date of this order, ALL defense counsel shall file under seal, and serve on plaintiff, all available transcripts of any audio recordings that have already been submitted to the court; any transcripts submitted and served pursuant to this order shall be specifically identified in an accompanying separate statement filed under seal with the court, and served on plaintiff.
4. Failure of any counsel, without adequate explanation, to provide both the court and plaintiff with a transcript of any audio recording submitted in this case may result in the imposition of sanctions.

Well, I had good intentions, but I have had something rather unexpected come up in my real life, and it now seems unlikely that I will get to this, or much of anything, for the next few weeks. I feel that we should make an effort to get all of these closed, particularly the ones that have been open for years.

ZARA is having a massive sale at their Century City location and I have to say the stuff they have right now is SO GOOD. This navy floral skirt is super flattering as it fits like a wetsuit but flares out at the bottom. Every time I enter my mother's closet I find something new that I can't wait to wear and incorporate into my wardrobe. Whether it's a purse, shoes, a blouse or jewelry-she really does have great taste!
My summer has consisted of collecting "staple items" like a great pair of jeans, the perfect worn in white simple tee and beige shoes to match with any outfit. I thought I would step out of the box this weekend and buy these Nicholas Kirkwood bright pink suede heels to add some color into my summer shoe collection. I am obsessed with these shoes as they are sexy, but not over the top as they have a low heel, the perfect pointy toe and a classic sling back strap. I can't wait to pair these statement shoes with jeans and a tee!
I decided to pair my ZARA skirt and Nicholas Kirkwood shoes with my favorite white BCBGeneration button up and my mother's diamond bracelet from Denton in Pacific Palisades. At the last minute, I grabbed this amazing straw boxy Helen Kaminski purse that was the ultimate addition to this outfit. I love how this bag gives off such a great vintage and classic vibe.
It was so fun having my brother home for the weekend as these photos were shot half by him and half by my mom! I hope everyone had a wonderful and warm weekend. More outfit posts to come but until next time…

Hi All,
Just trying to deploy and register a 32-bit dll on predominantly 64-bit Windows 2008 R2 / 2012 R2 servers and can't quite seem to get it. All I am looking to do is;
I also have a custom success criteria set to:
exit code of action = 0
Hopefully this will capture any instances where the DLL registration is not successful.
My fixlet as follows;
delete "__Download\MyFile.dll"
download "http://bigfix.server:6969/MyFile/MyFile.dll"
move "__Download\MyFile.dll" "(system folder)\MyFile.dll"
waithidden regsvr32 /s (System Folder)\MyFile.dll
Any help appreciated.
Give this a shot! You'll have to swap out the hashes and size with the actual values (as well as the URL).
prefetch MyFile.Dll sha1:mySha1 size:mySize MyURL sha256:mySha256
delete "{pathname of system folder}\MyFile.dll"
copy "__Download\MyFile.dll" "{pathname of system folder}\MyFile.dll"
waithidden regsvr32 /s "{pathname of system folder}\MyFile.dll"
Read up on how Prefetch works and take a look at the relevance / actionscript tutorials on http://developer.bigfix.com
Thanks very much for this, seems to be working…mostly.
The regsvr32 command is failing with an exit code of 3, which from what I am reading means that the dll was not found. Used the debugger and {pathname of system folder} is getting expanded to be C:Windows\System32 as you'd expect. However when I do a search for MyFile.dll it is only being found in C:\Windows\SysWOW64
{pathname of system folder}
How do I account for this redirection in my action?
Simply replace system folder with system x32 folder
system folder
system x32 folder
Thanks again. That didn't seem to work for me. I disabled wow64 redirection which seems to do it.
action uses wow64 redirection false
Disabling wow64 redirection causes the client to act in x64 mode by default.
My solution caused the client to enforce x86 path.
Sorry for the confusion!
Ah, thanks for the clarity. There will be some Windows 2003 servers that need this dll registered, however I've only tested on Windows 2008/2012 R2 boxes which are 64-bit.
Will the action disabling wow64 just be ignored for Windows 2003, or will it through an error code? Reason being I have the success criteria set so that the exit code must be 0 for successful competition.
action uses wow64 false has no effect when run on a 32-bit system. No error is raised.
action uses wow64 false

I've actually been using it as a protective case for my fancy schmancy iPhone. And in some cases when I don't want to bring my whole purse, I can actually fit all of the essentials (phone, credit cards/license and even the valet key for my car) in there too!
In this post I'll give you the run down of how I made it, plus the lessons that I learned from the first two versions that I made. If you want, you can even skip the lining, which will cut down on the amount of time that you spend on it.
The Materials:
- scrap piece of leather (mine was 11'' x 6.25'')
- snap closure
- piece of fabric for the lining that's just a little bit bigger than your leather piece
- leather needle (for your sewing machine)
- doily that's about as wide as your leather piece, or even a bit smaller (mine was 5'' wide)
- hand needle and thread that matches the color of your doily
- spray adhesive
- thimble
The leather needle for your sewing machine is optional. I have heard that it can throw the timing off on your machine, but if your leather isn't too thick, and you aren't sewing for very long you can probably get away with a regular needle. (I actually sewed the first two purses with my machine's regular needle) The thimble is also optional, but I found it helpful for the hand sewing, as the leather can be a pain to get a needle through!
I got my leather piece at the Tandy Leather Factory, because there is a store in my city. You can also find leather at craft stores, or maybe even places that do furniture reupholstering. Because it was a remnant, I paid less than $3 for the piece.
Try looking in antique stores for doilies! I went to one near my house and the owner gave me a deal on them...I ended up getting 9 doilies for $12. At Joann Fabrics, they were selling for about $5 apiece.
The How-To:
First, take your leather piece and fold up the bottom third or so to make the pocket of your purse. My pocket ended up being about 4'' tall, which gave me enough left at the top to form a nice "flap".
Leather doesn't really slide around too much, but if you're worried about it staying still while you sew, you can use a small piece of rolled tape on the inside of the face layers. Don't tape the nice outside of the leather because it could leave sticky marks.
Use your sewing machine and stitch up both sides of the pocket. It might help to test a small piece of leather in your sewing machine before you do the real thing.
Take your spray adhesive outside and spray the backside of the doily really well. I did this on a piece of cardboard because it temporarily stained my deck the last time I used it (oops!). Position the doily over the flap of your purse and press it down. Work quickly cause this stuff dries fast! It's also super tacky once you spray it on, so be sure of where you want to place it. I ironed my doily before hand to make sure that it would lay down nice and flat.
Trim the flap of your purse if you want to mimic the shape of the doily:
Use your hand need and thread to the sew the outer edges of the doily down to the leather (and maybe the center of the doily if you're feeling ambitious!). The spray adhesive is not enough to hold the doily down securely during normal wear and tear. Maybe there is a more permanent spray adhesive out there, but I haven't found it yet. If you find something that works well, let me know!
Take your piece of fabric for the lining and fold over one of the short edges. Sew it to make a nice finished edge (I used a scallop stitch on my machine, but a regular straight stitch works too!). Then sew up the sides of the lining to make a nice little pocket. Try fitting it inside your purse to make sure that it lays flat. If it's too wide/tall, it might bunch up. Just sew it a little smaller and trim off the excess.
Use an invisible stitch to sew the finished edge to the front side of the leather pocket. This blog post here gives a nice tutorial on how to do an invisible stitch. There are also tutorials on youtube!
You'll be left with the loose lining under the leather flap, kinda like this:
Trim it so that it's just a little wider than the leather piece:
Again, use the invisible stitch to fold under and then attach the lining to the leather flap. When you're done, it should look something like this:
Attach your top snap. I usually position it under part of the doily so that I can hide my stitches under the doily.
What do you think? If you chose to skip the lining, it would pretty easy to make one in about 1-2 hours. By the time I made this one (my third one), I finished it in one night of watching TV, with the lining and everything! (It took about 4 hours or so)
Lessons learned:
In my first leather doily purse, I learned that the spray adhesive helps to keep to center of the doily close against the leather, or else it kind of "slides" around (see where I'm pulling it up a bit with my fingers?). I also learned that continuing the lining up the inside of the leather flap would make it look prettier. I still might go back and color in the white thread with a dark-colored pen or marker.
In my second leather doily purse, I learned that you need to make the leather flap long enough so that it overlaps adequately on the pocket, or else you'll end up with little "ears" on your purse! Also, I learned not to spray the leather with the adhesive (only the doily!). If you look closely on the middle picture, you can see small spots on the leather from the adhesive.
So there you have it! Email me if you have any questions, and as always, let me know how it turns out if you ever make one!

December 21, 2012 is the day that the world ends according to some.
There are all sorts of web sites about it. An example is http://www.december212012.com/.
Even WiseGEEK has a page.
There is, according to some, an astronomical object named Nibiru approaching Earth which will arrive on that date. Among the more interesting claims in my opinion is that the Vatican has built two telescopes on Earth and is launching a satellite for the explicit purpose of tracking Nibiru. There does seem to be some disagreement about Nibiru though including its name.
Apparently though it is Nibiru that is causing the magnetic pole of the earth to shift and that shift will continue to increase with some dramatic even on December 21, 2012. The dramatic event is a collision or near miss. As you might guess not everyone agrees.
There is a Survive 2012 site if anyone is interested in surviving.
There is an article on NASA about a new planet.
That's dated 7.29.2005 and the image is from October 21, 2003.
Thought that was interesting.
A good part of the 2012 stuff comes from Mayan calendar information. Some of it was popularized in the Indiana Jones film about crystal skulls.
Some of the phenomenon predicted include total shift of magnetic pole, big change in weather, big change in oceans, melting ice caps, earthquakes, volcanoes, Sun spots, shortages in food and water, economic disruptions because of shortages, wars because of shortages, and so on.
Oh and God and Jesus will be revealed to have been ancient astronauts and Christianity, Judaism, and Islam have all been covering this up for millennia.
I may have left out some stuff but I suppose you get the idea.

Well Society Board Meeting Summary – February 2017
The Well Society Board met on March 1st 2017 for our monthly board meeting. This was February's board meeting which had been postponed from February 21st. A number of topics were covered and we are happy to provide fans with a summary of the topics discussed and the outcomes.
As it was the first board meeting since he was elected, we took the opportunity to first of all officially welcome Jason Henderson to the board.
Project Brave
An update was given on Project Brave developments. Alan Burrows and Scott Leitch have recently met with SFA Performance Director Malky Mackay to discuss and we are awaiting the issue of the criteria document this month which will be assessed in light of protecting The Clubs best interests.
As this is an extremely important topic for the club Sandy Kilpatrick suggested that this item should be on the agenda for every board meeting and regular updates should be provided.
Managers situation
Although all board members were involved in the decision to part-company with Manager Mark McGhee. Douglas Dickie did however provide a recap of the events as he, along with Alan Burrows met with Mark on Tuesday Morning to let him know the decision.
Douglas stated that the club has started receiving applications and will soon draw up a shortlist. The Well Society board will be kept informed and consulted throughout the process. The club are hopeful that although the interview process will be thorough they will look to make an appointment fairly swiftly.
It was agreed that a statement should be sent out to all members to further explain the Well Society's role in the process.
Membership Update
Craig Hughes provided an update on membership numbers, we currently have 2075 members with 1520 adults and 555 juniors.
We are planning several events to help engage members and raise funds. Craig met with Community Trust General Manager Dawn Middleton and the process has begun to arrange events such as an end of season party for junior members and a 7 a side football tournament to be ran during the summer.
Sandy Kilpartick also previously suggested we arrange two annual Well Society raffles. It was agreed that this would be taken forward and by our next board meeting we would like to have this fully arranged.
It was also discussed that members were looking for more channels of communication to the Well Society Board. It was agreed that we should have monthly surgeries where two board members are available for an evening should any Well Society members wish to stop by with any questions.
It was also discussed that we should do social media q&a sessions to allow members who can't make it to Fir Park to get their questions answered instantly.
Over a number of months we have been in discussions with crowdfunding group Tifosy. It has been discussed that we need new software in place to help us record payments a lot more effectively and Tifosy have put forward a proposal will do just that giving us a greater level of admin support and will help us drive forward in our recruitment of new members.
Craig Hughes and Tom Feely were due to meet with James Pollock at Tifosy and will report back to the board following on from this meeting and we can make a decision in regards to this.
Syrian Refugees Proposal
Jason Henderson made the board aware of thirteen families that will soon be arriving in the area. This will take the total number of refugees located in North Lanarkshire to 180. A proposal was put to the board to do all we can to welcome these people into the community and make them feel welcome as part of the Motherwell family.
It was suggested we should put on a welcoming event as well as inviting these refugees along to a match in the near future. All of the board agreed this is an important incentive and agreed that Jason Henderson should lead with this with support from Craig Hughes to put this together.
Recent Questions from Members
On the recent newsletters we had asked members to send on any questions they wish to be brought up at the board meeting. Most of the questions received were regarding Mark McGhee's position which of course had changed shortly before the board meeting.
Jason Henderson had also received several questions. It was agreed the best thing to do was for Jason to send on these questions to the rest of the board via email and responses to each of them would be issued to all members.
Volunteers Meeting
At the end of our board meeting we invited previous board applicants and anyone wishing to get more involved in the Well Society to come a long and meet with us to discuss ways they would like to help and to also get some input and ideas from them.
Andy Ross and Laura Colthart discussed how they particularly enjoy planning events and would be happy to get involved in that side of things. Gillie Martin was keen to get involved in helping promote the Well Society amongst the Youth Academy parents and to help engage with local businesses. Lynne Bushnell offered to help through any admin support and would be happy to come into the office one night a week to assist.
We also received emails from five other members who were unable to make the meeting but would be keen to get involved. Craig Hughes will follow up with them.
The next Well Society board meeting is scheduled for March 21st 5:30pm
We hope that this report provides further transparency however should you have any follow up questions please do not hesitate to contact Craig email@example.com

I wasn't going to get too political here. I have friends and family on both sides who I respect and there are issues on both sides that I support. Ok?
But the result of last night's election is bigger than party lines. It's history.
I spent the evening visiting and dining with friends- crowded around the TV, watching every move of the election. And then boom! 9:00 hit and it was fireworks. Barack Obama, the next president of the United States.
I cried my eyes out. Touched, amazed and proud of our country and what it means to be an American right now. today.
I'm so excited that my children will be born in a nation where they will have an African American president. Think about what that means! It's incredible.
I'm so excited to hear a message of hope instead of fear.
I'm so excited to feel empowered.
The speeches by both candidates last night were first class. President Bush told McCain his statement was "fabulous and very classy," so nicely put. I couldn't agree more. I respect John McCain.
and I respect Barack Obama. And am proud to say I am thrilled he is the next president of the United States!
