It doesn't play, you don't pay.
What if we did health care reform that way? Sort of like a money-back guarantee: Either it saves us money or we don't pay them any money. Either we keep our doctors or we don't have to pay a thing if they take away our doctors.
If we have to wait a month for an MRI, we don't pay for that MRI.
If it takes months to book an appointment with a specialist, we don't pay for that specialist. Assuming, of course, we're still alive to see the specialist.
You see my point?
I'd build performance measures into every health measure — every single measure, every single promise.
They don't get costs down, we don't put a penny up — that simple.
I know, that crazy too. But why?
Why is it so crazy to demand our politicians throwing out a lot of promises on health care reform, put in writing that we don't have to pay if they don't deliver those promises on health care reform?
I mean, GM's doing that with its cars now. Sixty days to try them out and if you don't like them, just return them with the keys and be done with them. No questions asked.
Not bad — and we bailed these guys out.
Pity the folks in Congress who wrote the check can't figure it out. Because nothing gets you off the spending dime than realizing if you screw up, you aren't getting any more dimes.
You play, you better pay.
Because I'm telling you something: We won't.

text: I recently got a router and a new ISP. I configured the WLAN connection on both my router and NDS, and the connection test on the handheld gives me an ok. The problem is: Whenever I try connecting to the WFC Network , my Lite "crashes", meaning the screen freezes and nothing happens. It worked fine with my brother´s router. I´m using a Zyxel 660HW , a router provided by the ISP called Arcor (which some German members might be familiar with). Halp plz EDIT: The post got cut off :/ .


text: Recorded in December 1969 and released the following summer, "On Tour" was Delaney & Bonnie's best selling record. After working with the duo during a Blind Faith tour, Eric Clapton joined up but would soon from his own band, Derek and the Dominoes, with several members of this group–Bobby Whitlock (key/voc), Carl Radle (bs), Jim Gordon (dr)–a criminally underrated rhythm section. The "Layla" album is a favorite of mine and I enjoy several of Clapton's 1970's solo records, so it's been interesting to dig into the roots of that music. (Details: Atco SD 33-326)

This book really feels disjointed. The protagonist, Callia, seems to flip-flop on if she hates her brother or if she doesn't and in one scene goes to kill him only "Nope", and of course he gets the upper hand.
The whole book is about her brother controlling her and she more or less dances to his tune even though it's said she doesn't want to or won't. Trigger warning for incest and the brother wants her romantically and is of course the jealous type.
The story also seems to start out in the most random place, with her in the woods having fallen or something? It never really gets explained and a large portion of this book is never explaining things. Also the world building is non-existant. There are just names of people and about two places mentioned. It's not even explained how the king had usurped anyone in the first place or what he had done to deserved to be re-ursurped.
Overall it lacks a lot of world building and characterization. Not only that it just seems to end. More or less on a cliffhanger and considering how short it is. It really could have used more.
Not to mention the casual misogyny of "I'm not like those other fluff headed girls" when she's talking about the count. The constant controlling of Callia by her brother and her more or less liking it? Not liking it? Being a confused woman the whole time.
Another thing was that this was hard to read as the MOBI I got was double spaced and it had huge margins making it look more like poetry (it's not). I had to convert it to a better spaced EPUB. Other technical things in the book are a lot of typos. Mixed names, such as Erdan supposed to be speaking but it's attributed to Drew. Mixed genders, Drew is referred to by 'she' when he has up until this point be 'he' and afterwards is 'he'. Some words that are mixed, 'and' instead of 'an'. Some words that are missing, such as '..he had gone' and there's only 'had gone' and it really needed the 'he' there.

Some say a teenager went from sole winner at a beauty pageant to sore loser in a matter of hours.
17-year-old Molly Lybrook was crowned Miss Fourth of July last week in central Maine.
The teenager reveled in her victory for about 24 hours before pageant organizers realized they miscalculated votes.
Officials say another contestant, 14-year-old Caitlin Grenier, was the actual winner.
They told Lybrook she could either be stripped of her crown or share the title with Grenier.
But that's when things turned sour.
Lybrook publicly accused pageant officials of corruption, saying the organizer is friends with Grenier's sister.
She also started a petition to keep her crown.
Although Lybrook got more than 400 signatures in support, she also got a lot of flack with people calling her selfish and a sore loser.
In the end she decided to step down.
Pageant winner refuses to share title after she's mistakenly crowned

Check Timing With VHDL Attributes
- Details
- Published: Wednesday, 19 February 2014 23:08
It is sometimes necessary to check for timing violations in a VHDL model or testbench. Here is a very nice overview from Mark Harvey, published on his blog
An essential part of any VHDL model written for simulation is checking for timing violations, for example, a micropocessor model should check its acknowledge input for setup and hold violations or a memory model should check the active pulse width of its chip select, output enable and write enable inputs. VHDL has several predefined signal attributes which can be used during simulation to perform timing checks such as pulse width violations, setup or hold violations, etc. (Mark Harvey)

Can compound interest save the evironment?
The site was down for a while this evening, so Maggie didn't have a chance to post anything before she went to bed. In lieu of a real post, I'll leave you with something I've been thinking about today. A lot of people feel like it isn't worth changing their lifestyle because they're just an individual, so they can't make a real difference. Think about where we'd be if an individual could make an immediate and obvious difference, though. That world would be in terrible trouble if it was at a point where one person's additional greenhouse gases or electrical use would be enough to plunge the world into chaos.
Wouldn't you rather be where we are now, where you don't have to make a huge difference to do some good?
It reminds me of compound interest. When you hear about Adam who invests $12k and lets it sit for 30 years versus Bob who invests $100 a month for 30 years, the obvious winner seems to be Bob. After all, Bob put three times as much money in as Adam, so he made a much bigger difference, right? Sure, if you're talking effort. But if you're talking results, Adam is the real mover and shaker here. His initial $12k is worth over $300k, while Bob's take is half that even though he put in more money!
If you wait until change is forced on you, you'll have no choice but to make a huge difference (or die off). But, if you start making little changes now, you'll make it so that you won't have to be a super-sacrificing Bob.
Call it the compound interest theory of sustainability.

It wouldn't be Kansas if there weren't farmland, and it wouldn't be farmland if there weren't cows! This photo was taken a few years ago, when Kansas was new to me. While there are cows in California (just drive on up the I-5) I'm not sure I've ever been quite so close to them before. Mom regarded me with a bit of caution, but baby was all kinds of curious.
Just don't ask me about the day I drove up the highway next to a truck full of pigs!

Frotscher Medal Runner-Up
Juliana Bowles, the School Disability Coordinator, was runner-up for the new Frotscher Helping Hands Medal for Excellence in Supporting Students. This recognises her selfless commitment to providing support to students at St Andrews.
In the current academic year, we have been very happy to welcome our first totally blind student, Saad Attieh. Juliana has coordinated and largely provided our support for Saad's studies in Computer Science. She made contact with his teachers in Edinburgh, learned about Braille (including the different ways of representing mathematics in Braille) and in depth design and preparation of teaching materials for accessibility. She has researched, selected and commissioned a range of equipment for preparing accessible diagrams and handouts. She has checked over lecture slides, coursework and exams, nagged other lecturers, including professors, to get their slides ready in time, and attended many lectures to check that the lecturers' delivery is appropriate.
We hope to be welcoming another partially sighted student in 2013-14.

Miller Prize for Joe Schaul
Computer Science student wins University prize for Science
One of our graduating students, Joe Schaul, has been awarded the University's "Miller Prize". The Prize is awarded to the best final-year undergraduate in the Science Faculty. As well has having an excellent academic record throughout his 4 years in the School, Joe also produced an exceptional undergraduate project. He developed a computer simulation framework for complex networks and applied it to two very different, real-world case studies: 1) the study of epidemics using a probabilistic model for various complex network topologies; and 2) the study of the effects of super-node crashes in Skype-like computer networks. The project was extremely challenging: it involved not only aspects related to the design, implementation and performance analysis of a scalable simulation tool for thousands of nodes, but it also required a very deep understanding of the problems related to the simulation of complex systems.
Well done, Joe!

(UPDATE: This thread started in October of 2016, and these are photos of the first one I made before I even considered making more. With a lot of trial and error, as well as input from all of you, it's gone through some serious changes since then. But I'm really happy with what it's become, and I want to thank everyone who helped me make it better.
If you'd like one, just let me know here on the thread or PM me and I'll put you on the list. The mod is $200.00. It takes a lot of time for me to make each one, so you won't get it right away. At this point, figure at least 8 weeks. Also, it's pronounced 'go-VAY-uh'. It's Portuguese. It has all the vowels. --Steve)
Hey everyone,
I was thinking about building this mod for a while. The game is so awesome, but the witch tube and witch just never impressed me. I thought it was too Halloween-looking, and didn't really fit in with the movie. So after WAY too many hours of molding clay, I came up with this idea. I really love it, and it works well with the lighting and animation. Hope you like it.

Permanent in the ministry of aviation, Hajia Binta Bello has said that the face of aviation in Nigeria was taking a new look stating that the industry is growing and would get better as time goes by.
|Hajia Binta Bello, Permanent Secretary,
Ministry of Aviation
This is just as she said that federal government will continue to invest in training aviation personnel in a bid to continuously strenghten the industry.
Speaking at the opening of the League of Airport and Aviation Correspondents, (LAAC) course at the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology (NCAT), Zaria, Bello described as a "priority" the training and re-training of aviation personnel.
Bello who was represented at the event by the by the rector of NCAT, Capt. Adeyele Caulcrik said," As an industry, we put great importance in the training and retraining of our personnel. The Aviation Ministry has made it a priority; closing the gaps of training needs is our core goal, in order to improve the human capacity and professional development of the sector.
"At the core of the roadmap for the industry, as you are all aware, is training and retraining of aviation personnel to acquire required skills and capacity to drive the goals of the industry.
"In line with this objective also, is the fundamental premium placed on the training of other allied personnel and stakeholders, whose jobs and activities are crucial to the overall development of the aviation sector in the country," she said.
Thereafter, she said almost all the federal airports in the country had undergone a facelift through the remodeling.
The airports include the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos; Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja; Aminu Kano International Airport; Sam Mbakwe Airport, Owerri; Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu as well as Yola and Benin airports which she said had been remodeled to meet international standard.
Bello said Nigeria's response to air crashes and incidents had improved remarkably with the robust deployment of modern technology and advanced equipment in air accident investigation.
She said the achievements were made possible by the various agencies in the ministry.
"The industry has seen unprecedented efforts by states governments to build state owned airports. Air travelers are having the best of their time in our airports.
Our appreciation for this effort goes to the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria, (FAAN). The vigorous efforts of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) have made our airspace one of the safest. The agency has deployed state- of-the-art navigational equipment in its effort to maintaining this safest status. The Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB) has been leading efforts in ensuring a rapid response to air disaster and timely conclusion of crash investigations. The regulatory body, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) as the watch dog of the industry, has just been recertified by the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on its Category 1 status.
The permanent secretary also said NCAT for the past 50 years had made significant contributions to the development of manpower in the aviation sector in Nigeria and beyond.
She also said the college had continued to strengthen the capacity building in core areas such as introduction of Multi-Crew Pilot License (MPL), helicopter training, Boeing 737 type training, training instructors course by International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Train-Air Plus, as well as Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL).
NCAT, which she described as the "foremost aviation training institute in the country" had trained for the aviation industry a wide range of professionals including pilots; air traffic controllers, aircraft maintenance engineers, aeronautical telecommunication engineers among others.
She added that the college "has been consistently upgrading its equipment and capacity in defending its enviable status as the aviation institute of excellence." On the training of aviation correspondents, she said the course "has been developed, amongst other things, to enhance the technical reporting skills of journalists who cover activities at our airports, and the aviation industry in general."
"NCAT as the approved Aviation Training Institution of excellence in the country and the sub-region undertook the responsibility to develop a comprehensive training programme for our reporters in the aviation industry to improve their knowledge, and technical writing skills for better reportage of the activities in the industry to the public," said Bello.
Also speaking, the chairman of the League, Mr. Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo noted that the role of NCAT in manpower development in the aviation industry. Iwelunmo said the liquidation of Nigeria Airways had continued to have negative impact on the college as almost all the staff of the defunct airline were trained by the institution.
"But it is our hope that with the inauguration of the committee on new national carrier by the permanent secretary and subsequent establishment of a new national carrier that NCAT will rise again. As the government sets to unveil the new national carrier, the League appeal to President Muhammadu Buhari to as a matter of urgency ensure the payment of ex-Nigeria Airways staff, establish a national hangar to reduce the suffering of domestic airlines and complete all the on-going airport projects across the country," said Iwelunmo.
He said the League would continue to collaborate with the various aviation agencies to ensure that airlines pay their debts noting that "debts owed by airlines and concessionaires have continued to sink aviation agencies."

Smiles are free therapy!
Smiles are a great release of energy and a universal way to communicate. I especially like smiles when they come at unexpected times, from unexpected people or unexpected events.
I picked out my inspiration for today a couple of days ago and when Tim and I sat down to put together the vignette of the quote some funny things happened that actually tied right into the quote! We had so much fun making this!
Just Click on the picture and Watch the vignette and see how Tim felt about a 4 word quote ……
(we've got a stickler here…)

"Smile, It's Free Therapy" ~Douglas Horton
Ha, no kidding that seriously happened, he was having a fit over the 2 quotes I picked out (1 was 4 words and 1 was 6….see I thought that averaged out nicely to 5 and who's counting anyway?) Then we got the giggles when putting it together. Irritation ended with smiles and laughter. That brings out good energy and now that feeling still lingers.
When smiling we create changes both internally and externally. I read a good article explaining 11 Surprising Reasons You Should Smile Every Day in the Huffington Post. It's really an informative fun article and embellishes on how facial expressions can influence our mood.
So what started for Tim today as irritation soon turned into smiling and laughter. A much better energy to start the day!

"Puppies with a future - from dogs with a past!"
Perfect Puppies For Picky People...
Okay, I know you came here looking for a puppy but that means getting on the deposit list so you need to decide if an O'BJ puppy is worth waiting for. If you haven't already done so, explore the navigation bar at top to be sure this is the right breed for you. Done all that? OK! Then let's see about puppies but if you skip ahead, be sure to come "back" here to learn what is important to me and I hope, to you.
Whether you want a show puppy or family pet, you care about quality. O'BJ puppies are from top winners and they come with credentials! Bill and I had bred All-Time Top record holders in three breeds (AKC Hall Of Fame Master Breeder) before discovering this pint-sized brainiac! Dogs are my life and when I look down at Hugely snoozing contently in my lap, I smile because I made the old guy really ... happy siring TWO litters at 14 years young. I had to provide vet-certified semen count for AKC but Hugely just laughed and proceeded to make puppies.
Toy Fox Terriers learn so quick... First lesson: at about four weeks, they try yipping at me, demanding attention. I'm pretty smart too so I stay focused on the computer and ignore them. At this age, a puppy's attention span is shorter than a gnat's leg so they go right back to their toys.
In another week, they'll be all over my office exploring (and chasing dust balls)! Then, at 8 tweeks, they move into the dog room where their mother shows them how to go outside through the doggie door to an even bigger world!
All Toy Fox Terrier puppies are clever but even after 49 years of collecting top show ring honors, in the end, it all boils down to one thing - dogs should excel at what they were bred to do. The first thing you should know is that not all TFTs are created equal. O'BJ Toy Fox Terriers are known for above average intelligence, vibrant good health and strong bones. After so many years with big dogs (Rottwielers, Akitas and Bull Terriers), our first Toy Fox Terrier purchase taught me and Bill about brittle bone syndrome. It was a horrible experience but one that made us strive for the same genetic strength for which Akitas O'BJ are still known worldwide. We also learned about "toy dog teeth" and the expense involved. So in addition to strong bones, we insist on a deep jaw and big terrier teeth.
A well bred, properly raised Toy Fox Terrier will be with you longer than that new car so buying a puppy deserves the same research. Sobering thought eh? The funny thing is that most owners wouldn't trade their O'BJ puppy for two new cars! Bragging? I guess, but your car isn't your best friend, right?
This 4 months old male puppy out of AKC Ch. Fannie Mae O'BJ, shows what you should be looking for. The ideal Toy Fox Terrier head has equal proportions and parallel planes. That means in profile the muzzle is at the same angle as the flat topskull (the part from eyes to back head) with no hint of Chihuahua roundness.
A Toy Fox Terrier puppy should have a deep, well developed "underjaw" (see his strong chin?) with large, deeply rooted "terrier teeth". Show or pet puppy, you want a little dog that can see, hear, breathe and eat - a toy dog whose teeth don't fall out and whose legs don't break. These are terrier characteristics which I demand in my bloodline.
Why? Well, most toy breeds couldn't care less about catching a mouse but please remember, the Toy Fox Terrier is in the UKC Terrier group, the original registry for the breed. He's a Terrier in a Toy dog body. That makes him an ideal lap dog but with the strong physique and vibrant health that is the hallmark of a working terrier. That, and nothing less, is what Bill and I founded our TFT breeding program on. By the way, my TFTs have a "terrier mouth" capable of gnawing a raw shank bone or drumstick - and they get both twice a week!
Sorry I held you up If the Toy Fox Terrier sounds like a fit for you, see upcoming litters on my Sucha litter and Worthy litter pages. Puppies will be ready to go late August - early September 2018

Some Web sites dark
Web sites went dark for some organizations even emergency response groups because of the largest power outage in U.S. history.
BY DISASTER NEWS NETWORK | BALTIMORE | August 15, 2003
Web sites went dark for some organizations even emergency response groups because of the largest power outage in U.S. history.
Many organizations that host Web sites in house lost power and, at least temporarily, lost their Internet identity.
But, for the most part, Internet traffic stayed up, according to public statements from Internet providers.
Organizations whose Web hosting companies had dependable backup power managed to keep their Web sites alive.
Most data switching centers and long-distance switching centers have large battery racks and diesel generators that automatically kick in during a power failure.
Computer network experts added there was no evidence that the power outage was related to the Blaster computer worm that began spreading Monday.
Some major news network Web sites slowed temporarily during the first part of the outage because of an overload of traffic.
Disaster News Network, hosted by its sister organization, New Village Media Inc., stayed online throughout the blackout despite the fact that its servers are located in Toronto. Several other national disaster response Web sites, including Church World Service/Emergency Response Program and National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disasters are also hosted by New Village Media.
"It is critical that emergency response organizations, who have come to depend upon the Internet for communications, include Web and mail server contingencies in their emergency plans," said Jim Skillington of New Village Media of Jessup, MD. "Although it may be convenient to host Web sites in-house, few organizations can afford the auxiliary power supplies needed to keep a Web server online through a major power failure or similar national emergency."
"Many organizations have kept servers in-house," he said, "because they are not aware of available options or haven't considered the real impact of a power failure or national emergency." Businesses that rely on the Internet, he added, lose more than $12,000 in missed opportunities and sales for every hour a Web site is off-line according to recent industry estimates.
"Our servers are running on back-up generators that have enough fuel for nearly a month of independent operation. In addition to power back-ups, we have multiple redundancies to insure Internet access. Having Web servers be offline because of a power failure isn't an option for our clients."

Chicago police officers on bicycle patrol captured a robber Monday evening who snatched an iPhone from a woman on a Loop street, police said today.
Officers Adrian Navarro and Erik Escalante came across a 56-year-old woman about 7 p.m. in the 500 block of South Dearborn Street running after a 16-year-old boy, while yelling, "Help, help, he stole my phone," police said.
The officers, who are assigned to the Central Business District, took after the suspect on their bikes and then on foot, catching him a half block away.

The European Football Association (UEFA) on Tuesday named Manchester United ahead of Real Madrid and Barcelona as the biggest revenue earner for last year, 2017.
According to the annual report, United enjoyed the top position by beating all European clubs in the last financial year after a 32 percent increase propelled them above the Los Blancos and the Catalan club.
The report said: "revenues among Europe's 700-odd top-flight clubs totalled 18.5 billion euros (£16.5 billion) for 2016.
"This is in comparison to 16.9 billion the year before and 2.8 billion in 1996. However, the report acknowledged that nearly half that amount — 9.1 million euros — was generated by 30 clubs."
"The financial gap between the elite ones and the rest was increasing. English Premier League television revenues were now such that mid-table Bournemouth earned the same as three-times European champions Inter Milan. Manchester United's revenue for 2016 was 689 million euros, compared to 521 million euros in 2015," the report said.
The Red Devils were followed by FC Barcelona and Real Madrid (both 620 million), Bayern Munich (592 million), Paris St Germain (542 million) and Manchester City (533 million).
United operating profit of 232 million euros was also the highest followed by Real Madrid, PSG, Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Manchester City.
The English giants were also burdened with the highest net debt of 561 million euros, ahead of Benfica, Inter Milan, Juventus and Liverpool.
The report also confirmed that the English Premier League enjoys by far the highest revenues in Europe, averaging 244.4 million euros per club.
Next was Germany's Bundesliga with 149.6 million per club followed by Spain (126.3 million) and Italy (100.2 million) Revenues fell dramatically elsewhere, even in traditional football nations such as the Netherlands (26.7 million) and Portugal (20.3 million).
UEFA President, Aleksander Ceferin said, "As the guardians of the game, UEFA must ensure that football remains competitive even as financial gaps are augmented by globalisation and technological change."

Today, I'm tracking elusive prey - that most misunderstood of animals, the Untitled 7". A perennial favorite, the unit of music that collects one or more conceptually independent works such that one title would be crass. In the case of our friend Jennifer Baron's 7" as Garment District with La Station Radar, a remix by none other than Sonic Boom - Peter Kember of Spacemen 3, Spectrum, and E.A.R fame - gets the first billing. No one is better qualified than her to say just how cool that is, so I'm going to quote her lengthy email at length:
"It is a massive honor - and I remain quite humbled by the experience - of having 'Nature-Nurture' remixed by Sonic Boom, one of my musical heroes. Today, I can listen to his music from the 1980s and the 1990s, and it truly sounds in some way like a new experience, fresh and tactile and with new dimensions uncovered and revealed . . . I had met Sonic Boom a few times over the years, and could not really imagine anyone else remixing a song of mine, at least that song in particular. He worked on it in his New Atlantis Studios in England, and encouraged feedback and input from me during the process. When he was just about finished, and we were discussing the final few measures of the song, he suggested that I record a new part to replace what I had played on the original and to consider altering the style of the final melody. I loved the process of recording a new keyboard melody quite spontaneously late one night in my house in a different time zone from him, and having it just sit naturally within the remix he did."
The remix is a tremendous collaboration and unique for the creative exchange that made it, though the 7"s two originals, "Miraculous Metal" and "Vigor" have at least much to recommend them, the former a particularly suitable showcase for Baron's dynamic textural universe. In large part because of its placement after Sonic Boom's remix and "Miraculous Metal", "Vigor" (the file I was sent is titled "Vigor & Vitality") may feel like a lonelier novelty. An interview she conducted with No Fear of Pop reveals: "'Vigor'" is special to me because it is a long distance collaboration with Kevin C. Smith (The Artificial Sea), who is a circuit bender/sound artist now living in Oakland, California", re-affirming the strong collaborative streak in all of Baron's music. Further, she reveals that it was made from "audio snippets I recorded over several months' time in my western Pennsylvania environment" - maybe it's just the thought of voices I recognize appropriated to that end, but it was a highlight of the single for me.
Check out this video for the 7"s first b-side, "Miraculous Metal", and stream the whole record below.

Playing a YouTube HTML5 video logs you out of your desktop at the end of the video (Win 8.1 and Threshold)
Not reproducible Issue #1270380
Steps to reproduce
Repro Steps:
- Have a X3100 GPU
- Play any youtube video until the end.
- You get logged out of Windows for no good reason.
Expected Results:
Preferred fix is to solve the bug in the driver that causes this problem. This probably needs some cooperation between IE and kernel teams to debug this problem. Otherwise masking the bug in IE by not exercising the driver bug area could be useful, but that would still allow any other app to crash the desktop (denial of service).

At the house closing last week our real estate agent made a crack about the president. I laughed and told him to watch it. That, apparently, cued our loan guy to also make cracks about the president. Then I forced a laugh and asked him if he wanted to lose a deal.
Normally I'm not really defensive, but living where I do, you get to hear a lot of knocks on our new president, and I can only take about ten a day before I start getting annoyed. Plus, my emotions were running high last week, like jilted Southern belle high. I've been uncharacteristically calm on the whole. I've been so calm that I didn't sleep for most of the week. Selling and buying never go smoothly, and there was a roller coaster at the end that rode over our exposed synapses (see here.) Additionally, there are about 4,000 people who stick their hand into the transaction for their piece. I had a great agent and would recommend him to anyone, but almost everyone involved in the transaction seems to be superfluous; it all seems like such a racket.
Just to be clear:
Presidential cracks
High, yet repressed emotions
Lots of people with hands in the cookie jar
So by the time the title guy jumped in and made his oblique Obama crack, I just about lost it.
"Listen, if it weren't for YOU PEOPLE we wouldn't be in this economic mess in the first place and Obama wouldn't be spending his first term cleaning up after your industry."
And then there were some cleared throats.
And then the loan guy started in on me again.
And then I brought up that maybe the government should take over the entire real estate industry.
And there were shocked looks from the rest of the table.
And I had to take a bite of cookie to stop myself from talking.
And then the loan guy apologized.
Because really, you need to know your audience, and dude, I am not your audience.
So with my emotions on strong undertow bordering on riptide, I went back to work. A couple of friends asked me about Steve and Catheryn, who died on Strawberry Reservoir a few years ago. As soon as I finished telling them the story I started crying, and kids, I couldn't stop. It all felt so raw and I missed them so badly. I sat at my desk trying to finish my work for the day and the tears just wouldn't stop. I kept thinking of walking the shoreline trying to find them. I developed the awesome I've Been Crying puffy face with the sniffle sound effect to match. I could no longer concentrate on my pressing work with those stupid tears flowing and had to leave--because nothing says 'I am fantastic and together' like crying at work!
KABLAM! Wasn't that an upper of a blog? Veiled threats, dueling political philosophies, and uncharacteristic emotional displays—the only thing this blog needs is some sort of Whedon/Twilight reference.
No, but seriously folks, you know what I need? You. You have great moving ideas, hints, and pitfalls. We've lived in this place for 10 years. We threw out 7 bags of garbage just from the kitchen yesterday. What do we need to know for our big move this week? If you had your last move to do over again, would you change anything?
But no crying on this blog, no one wants to see your puffy face.

Calling all fans of Lamb of God and Unearth, I present you with a gift from the Deathcore/Deathmetal/Metalcore gods: Funeral for the Masses. This group is paving the way for alike artists across the globe all the way from Oulu, Finland. This 6-song EP named, Pitch Black, is nothing short of a shot of greatness to the brain. I reached all the way back to pull albums from my super heavy, hardcore/metalcore days, frequently reminiscing the fun times of being that skinny guy getting tossed like a rag doll in massive mosh pits.
Once I clicked on their first track, Death Sentence, I was immediately consumed by the mysterious feel of the guitar intro. That is until you hear that first breath and that scream just resonates in the room as the halftime feel pulls you to your feet just to get you throwing fists as the insane double bass kicks in. "WE WON'T SURRENDER!" just stands out to me as a call to action, for people to rise against the corrupt that erodes this society, with politicians being the focal point. The next track titled
The next track titled F.F.T.M. is well, yes you guessed correctly, Funeral for the Masses, and does it ever serve its purpose. To me, this piece feels like an anthem to the dubbed "masses." There is nowhere in this song for you to "take 5." The entire song, it's like watching this blank canvas being painted in various shades of black, portraying a darker side.
Blinded Eyes is one heck of a song. I consider this my second favorite song simply because it is in your face, it tells you how it is and leaves you wondering what happened in the last four minutes. The message I get from this song is how someone is betrayed or taken advantage of and the penalty for this perpetrator is to be dealt with in a violent manner.
The next track, Pitch Black¸ while serving as the album title, also serves as my personal favorite as they show off every bit of how one would feel in a cold, lonely world when nothing ever goes right. The clean guitars with their creepy echo will give you goosebumps and make you look over your shoulder as the crippling, heavy riffs will nearly snap your neck from the consistent head banging.
Delusions is just in your face, smack you around, and a demand to pay attention. This song makes me feel like I'm lost in transition, in limbo per se, between reality and some made up reality, hence the title of the song. One thing I hear in this song over the rest is a guitar solo. This solo fits in ever so perfectly, like a single piece of a puzzle.
Lastly, Fallen Idol. This song has some of them groove beats that I absolutely love. To me, this song is making me want more, being the perfect to end the album with. Through every verse and chorus, there are super-hooky vocal polyrhythms, death-defying guitar, bass, and drum rhythms, intertwining like a field of vines, only showing this single rose.
I will have to say that it has been an absolute blast to listen to and really have this album take me back and now that this album is in my car, the rest of this place will hear what brutality truly sounds like.
You can pick up a copy of Pitch Black directly from the guys of Funeral for the Masses on their Facebook page as well as check out more from these dudes in the near future!

To sustain their proliferation, cancer cells become dependent on one-carbon metabolism to support purine and thymidylate synthesis. Indeed, one of the most highly upregulated enzymes during neoplastic transformation is MTHFD2, a mitochondrial methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase and cyclohydrolase involved in one-carbon metabolism. Because MTHFD2 is expressed normally only during embryonic development, it offers a disease-selective therapeutic target for eradicating cancer cells while sparing healthy cells. Here we report the synthesis and preclinical characterization of the first inhibitor of human MTHFD2. We also disclose the first crystal structure of MTHFD2 in complex with a substrate-based inhibitor and the enzyme cofactors NAD(+) and inorganic phosphate. Our work provides a rationale for continued development of a structural framework for the generation of potent and selective MTHFD2 inhibitors for cancer treatment.
Glioblastoma remains an incurable brain cancer. Drugs developed in the past 20 years have not improved the prognosis for patients, necessitating the development of new treatments. We have previously reported the therapeutic potential of the quinoline methanol Vacquinol-1 (1) that targets glioblastoma cells and induces cell death by catastrophic vacuolization. Compound 1 is a mixture of four stereoisomers due to the two adjacent stereogenic centers in the molecule, complicating further development in the preclinical setting. This work describes the isolation and characterization of the individual isomers of 1 and shows that these display stereospecific pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic features. In addition, we present a stereoselective synthesis of the active isomers, providing a basis for further development of this compound series into a novel experimental therapeutic for glioblastoma.
In this work two acetylene alcohols, compound 1 and compound 2, which were isolated and identified from the sponge Cribrochalina vasculum, and which showed antitumor effects were further studied with respect to targets and action mechanisms. Gene expression analyses suggested insulin like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R) signaling to be instrumental in controlling anti-tumor efficacy of these compounds in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Indeed compounds 1 and 2 inhibited phosphorylation of IGF-1R beta as well as reduced its target signaling molecules IRS-1 and PDK1 allowing inhibition of pro-survival signaling. In silico docking indicated that compound 1 binds to the kinase domain of IGF-1R at the same binding site as the well known tyrosine kinase inhibitor AG1024. Indeed, cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) confirmed that C. vasculum compound 1 binds to IGF-1R but not to the membrane localized tyrosine kinase receptor EGFR. Importantly, we demonstrate that compound 1 causes IGF-1R beta but not Insulin Receptor degradation specifically in tumor cells with no effects seen in normal diploid fibroblasts. Thus, these compounds hold potential as novel therapeutic agents targeting IGF-1R signaling for anti-tumor treatment.

It's not surprising. Transformational work is tricky. Results are usually different for every single client. We can't do the work for our clients, we support, and watch the results. Sometimes we feel helpless - especially when we're working harder than the client. So if you've been feeling like a fraud lately, this might help. When you support other people in transforming their lives, as a coach, healer, trainer, speaker, or teacher, you can't control the results. Attachment to the results of your clients will cause you to suffer. Here's what you CAN do: 1) Provide a supportive environment for the client to transform. 2) Provide the information that the client needs to learn. 3) Help the client 'course-correct' when she or he gets off track. 4) Make sure that your client isView more
Worry, anxiety, and fear are the same thing. They're the same emotion, just experienced on different levels, like stair steps. Fear is a negative emotion caused by a real or perceived threat to our well-being. Anxiety means being uneasy and nervous about something we can't control—an event, person, or problem. Worry is to mentally dwell on difficulty or trouble. This chronic concern is the lowest level of the emotional staircase. The first step is worry. Worry turns to anxiety. Anxiety becomes fear. 21-Day Inner Healing Journey A unique and powerful Bible study from Jimmy Evans. Scripture commands us not to do any of those things. Don't worry. Don't be anxious. Do not fear.

Everyone has unresolved pain from their past. Humans are excellent at remembering—God hardwired that into us—but not all memories are good. We experience pain, disappointment, sadness, failure, abuse, and rejection. We hold onto those things, even though they devastate us. How do we find healing from these hurts? I wrote my book When Life Hurts to discuss ways to resolve that pain and find freedom and inner peace. In it, I talk about five emotional facts of life. These facts are true for all of us. First, life hurts. Period. God never promised us a life without pain. He promised He'd be there to heal us and help us, but He never said we could avoid it. We are human, and pain is part of the human experience.View more

For the life of me, I couldn't tell you what I had other than hope that 2016 would be better than 2015. And, if I'm honest, 2015 was really rough for pretty much everyone I know. I lost my brother, my father and I lost touch in a major way, and no matter how hard I tried my work simply refused to be fruitful in the ways I expected it to.
I was ready for a fresh start and I decided to start with hope day 1 January 1.
Ladies. Why is nothing in life easy?
As soon as I made the choice to be grateful, every thing that could go wrong did. Not in a laughable Murphy's Law sort of way. The sorts of wrongs that make you really consider throwing in the towel and not being grateful. I'm stubbornly determined, thankfully, and knew I had to see it through – even if that meant the day was bitterly grateful instead of joyfully.
So I did it, and here it is. The three things I learned being grateful for 90 days.
1. I'm not always grateful.
In fact, there are days when I'm incredibly selfish and can't see past my own nose to give thanks. Those days are the worst. They are dark, they are bitter, and there is very little light in me those days. The hardest part of those days is seeing the bitterness reflect on those around me, like my husband and child. On those days, my darkest days, I started at the beginning.
I am grateful to be alive. I am grateful to have a home. I am grateful to have a family who loves me. I am grateful to have a great many blessings that 99% of the world does not. I am grateful to be exactly where I am.
2. On the good days, it can be difficult to be humble.
There was one day where something just clicked. EVERYTHING went right. And I was so excited about a project getting off the ground. I felt pumped in a take on the world sort of way. But I forgot that these things were not of my own doing. It took a whole team to make them possible, and a large door being opened. It would be so easy to brag about it to strangers. Why did I feel the need to puff myself up to perfect strangers, who was I trying to impress? I took a hard look at what I was grateful for and asked myself, "Why am I grateful for this?" So sometimes, I'd knock it back and make sure that I was grateful for the day for the right reasons
Today I am thankful for: my daughter's sweet laugh, devotional readings that keep my head on straight, a husband who takes care of me when I'm sick, a dog who teaches me about unconditional love.
3. Being Thankful is a Choice.
I like to listen to Ted Talks. They feature a wide variety of people from all over the world who have found their voice. They are almost always inspiring. One of my favorites is a lady name Mel Robins. She says this: You have already survived all of your darkest days. That puts it in perspective, doesn't it?
There were days in the first 90 of this year that I simply couldn't get out of bed because I was too heart sick – or real sick. But then the dawn came and I felt better and tried again. My daughter still loved me. My husband still loved me. My colleagues still believe in me and even better than all of that, I serve a mighty God who has forgiven me. I used to feel weird saying that. Now, the more I say it the more I mean it.
I had to CHOOSE to be grateful before I really was. I had to see the silver lining before I could accept it. If there is nothing left after 90 days, I am here and I give thanks that every day is new.

Language Creation Society Amicus Curiae Brief (Axanar)
Language Creation Society Amicus Curiae Brief
The Language Creation Society amicus curiae brief is a means for an interested party, who may be affected by a lawsuit, to insert their opinions and knowledge into a case.
Note: the Language Creation Society has not sued anyone.
Seriously, if anyone is claiming the Language Creation Society has taken sides in this matter, that information is incorrect. An amicus curiae is a friend of the court brief.
Note: I had to shrink the images for Pages 1 – 31 as they were enormous. If anyone needs a bigger copy, please let me know via the Comments section, below.
As usual, we will go through this document page by page. My credentials are here. The Language Creation Society's own take on this matter is here.
One thing to keep in mind, as we get started, is that Klingon is not a naturally occurring or evolving language (although that does not matter too much herein). This document makes the argument that it is a system, much like an alphabet or a filing system, and systems are (this is a true statement) not copyrightable.
However, the real point is, the use of Klingon, a system solely associated with Trek (aside from the Welsh UFO statement, a Swedish wedding, and the like), is yet another aspect of copying by the Axanar defendants. It shows a pattern of deliberate copying by the defense and an intent to make a competing product, and that will be a point against Axanar regardless of the question of whether Klingon itself is copyrightable.
I realize folks may feel it's a distinction without a real difference. I'm going for the aggregate (and so are CBS and Paramount) – e. g. you have an actor wearing a movie-worn costume (in part), with matching makeup and prosthetics, with a near-identical naming convention, who speaks a language which is a system inextricably intertwined with the IP in question. This is more of the pattern of copying, just as wearing the gold command shirt with a cowl neck and insignia is, even though the cowl neck collar and the gold color and the shirt itself are all aspects of useful articles which are also not subject to copyright.
Further, I want to make it clear that I respect the creation of this rather complicated system and the hard and fascinating work of the Language Creation Institute. What follows are my opinions and I trust no one feels any malice is intended.
Onto the brief. For all items which show up as squares (like this: ), this is due to brief's usage of Klingon script, much of which does not survive the act of copying and pasting. Also, this is a merged document; some of the pages are the brief and then the remainder is other related documents and exhibits.
The Brief
Page 1
The amicus has retained the Randazza Legal Group; more specifically, partner Marc Randazza, who specializes in First Amendment law. Mr. Randazza has a rather interesting background, and there is even a Wikipedia page about him. As always, if you are in search of additional information on anyone involved in this case, Google is your friend.
As the brief states:
This brief is not submitted in support of any party, but
narrowly supports Defendants' Motion to Dismiss for the limited issue
of Plaintiff's claim of copyright in the Klingon language.
This is a very narrow argument being made. The Language Creation Society is taking no position whatsoever on the rightness or wrongness of CBS and Paramount's claims as against Axanar and defendant Peters.
Page 2
The first page's opening information continues on this page:
Specifically, Amicus argues that the Klingon language, in which Plaintiffs assert
copyright, is not and cannot be protected under copyright law and
is part of the public domain.
The argument continues (and spills over into the following page):
It is Amicus' position that, under existing copyright law, a
language is not entitled to copyright protection. Furthermore,
conlangs can only develop and spread in the absence of copyright
protection over the language's grammar rules, graphemes, and
vocabulary. If an individual possesses a monopoly over an entire
language, then he can control not only who may communicate in
that language, but also how the language develops (if at all). By
keeping a tight leash on which grammar rules are changed or which
words are added, the language's creator can prevent the
democratic process of linguistic development that typifies
languages spoken today. Doing this may help the creator turn a
profit, but it stymies growth and forecloses a significant number of
artistic works written and performed in that language.
Page 3
The brief states, with reference to the amicus filing:
Counsel for Amicus has met and conferred with counsel for all
parties. Defendants do not oppose the filing of the attached amicus
brief, and Plaintiffs do not consent to its filing.
These positions are not altogether surprising, as the defense would be looking for any sort of even minor ally, and the plaintiffs would be looking to avoid distractions and also maintain their copyright in this conlang (constructed language).
Page 4
This is just counsel's signature page.
Page 5
Then there is a certificate of service, noting the documents were properly filed, which is also signed by counsel.
Page 6
This is the cover page to the brief itself.
Page 7
The brief opens with a table of contents. The main points to be covered are:
Page 8
This page begins the table of authorities for the document.
Page 9
The table of authorities continues on this page.
Page 10
This is the next page of the table of authorities.
Page 11
This page concludes the table of authorities.
Page 12
Beginning the argument in earnest, the brief opens with an introduction written in English (the brief refers to the language my blog post is written in as 'Federation Standard') and in Klingon lettering, providing a handy transliteration in a footnote.
A second footnote on that page makes a rather interesting assertion:
2 Mr. [Marc] Okrand himself has asserted that the Klingon language,
tlhIngan Hol, was received by him from a captured Klingon named
Maltz. See Okrand, Marc, The Klingon Dictionary (1985). Thus,
Plaintiffs may be stopped from asserting otherwise for the purposes
of this litigation. See Arica Inst., Inc. v. Palmer, 970 F.2d 1067, 1075
(2d Cir. 1992) (author who disavowed inventing enneagrams
publicly cannot claim invention inconsistently to improve a litigation
Hence, essentially, a fictional origins statement is presented in order to bolster an argument against copyrightability. Fun fact: the enneagrams mentioned in the Arica case, supra, are cited in RationalWiki and denounced as a ripoff of Buddhism. But the narrow cited portion of the ruling makes sense, e. g. that claims of invention (or, really, of any other germane facts in any dispute, now that I think about it), cannot be altered in order to more conveniently, positively, inexpensively, or more rightfully frame a litigation position.
Kind of like, I don't know, claiming a script is locked and ready and then that it doesn't exist at all?
Yeah, something like that.

4-star New Orleans CB on LSU: "My interest means nothing without their interest"
Brad Stewart left LSU's junior camp event "Boys From The Boot" without an offer in hand.
Consider the four-star defensive back unfazed.
Louisiana's No. 8 prospect, Stewart admitted he has interest in LSU, but without an offer to show for it, interest is all that's there.
An offer, though, would go a long way.
"Well, you know, it's my hometown team, so I've always been interested," Stewart told SEC Country, "but my interest means nothing without their interest."
The 6-foot, 193-pound product of McDonogh 35 High School (New Orleans) carried a bit of a chip on his shoulder after not pulling in an offer from the Tigers.
He remains steadfast that he doesn't plan on doing much to continue to try and draw an offer. In his opinion, what more can he do?
"What else do I need to show them?" Stewart asked. "I have locked down some of the best receivers in the state. If they offer, then they offer. If they don't, then they don't."
Stewart's junior campaign speaks for itself, as he led McDonogh 35 to the Louisiana Class 4A quarterfinals.
In the process, the Class of 2017 standout matched up with some of New Orleans' and the state's future SEC talent, including Class of 2016 wide receiver Clyde Chriss (Texas A&M signee).
That's led to offers from a host of SEC schools, including Mississippi State, Florida and Missouri.
While Stewart doesn't have an offer to show for his on-field success last season, he certainly heard about it from the LSU coaching staff.
Defensive coordinator Dave Aranda, defensive backs coach Corey Raymond and new running backs coach Jabbar Juluke were all in Stewart's ear during "Boys From The Boot" about how impressive he was on tape.
"Coach Aranda mentioned to me that he had only been there (at LSU) for two months, but in a staff meeting they watched my film and he and Coach (Les) Miles were impressed," Stewart said. "Coach Raymond told me to come back for one of their spring practices, so I'm going to go back one Saturday. Coach Juluke just started, but I was happy for him."
Stewart confirmed that he does plan on attending some of LSU's spring practices, which begin in early March.
One of his goals: finally have a one-on-one with Miles.
"I was hoping to meet with Coach Miles (last weekend)," Stewart admitted, "but maybe next time."
Stewart is rated as the nation's No. 20 cornerback, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.

Big news: I've spent the past four days completely off of crutches! My hip still aches by the end of the day, but it's more a gentle reminder to sit down than the crippling pain it used to be. I can pick up Katja now, too. I can't carry her far without getting strong "Quit it!" pain, but at least I can pick her up if I need to.
I was very concerned with the pain I was still feeling with the front leg lifts. Everything else seemed to be working out well, getting stronger, less pain, all the normal things, but that one exercise was still really hard for me. I asked the physical therapists to help and they gave me a bunch of new exercises (including single leg squats and single leg bridges – ouch!) which, while difficult and painful, did what I needed. I can do the front leg lifts now and only have an ache at the end, which is a lot better.
I was out with Katja today and we were watching people jump up and down. Katja joined in quite happily. My hip twinged at the thought of it, which I know quite well is psychosomatic but made it very clear that I'm not all the way better yet. Swimming is getting easier, though breaststroke still has limitations on how far I can go using the kick as well as the arms. That particular movement still causes pain. Other than that direction, I don't have flexibility problems in physical therapy right now, which is good.
I'm healing. I'm back to almost mostly normal. I won't be running for a long time yet; even walking fast is not a good idea right now. I am getting to the point of being able to swim, though, and I can bike for ten minutes at a stretch, which is a start. I can't twist or turn in certain ways and I sometimes catch myself right before I move my leg wrong, but it's clearly improving.
I think it will be a while before I take the 130 pound dog out for a walk, though.

If you take a few extra steps down the lineup of famous food places along Casuarina, you will come to a Japanese Restaurant with a cloth door curtain. Formerly run by a highly skilled and dedicated grandmother from Hokkaido in 1994, Tamako Meal has since been passed through two generations of the family, delivering its 18th year of real Hokkaido Japanese food.
We were warmly greeted in Japanese by a restaurant owner who ushered us to a seat outdoor as we had requested so. Foreign to the names of the dishes in their menu, the restaurant owner then patiently introduced and described some of their better selling food to us.
We started off with a popular choice of entree among their customers, the Potato Salad ($3.20), which combines chunky cubed potatoes meshed with egg, diced carrots and peas in mayonnaise sauce. Served chilled, I found the salad perfect for an afternoon.
The warm and delicate Agedashi Dofu ($3.20), or deep fried tofu, makes a wonderful entree as well. Light, fresh and doused in japanese soy sauce, it is easy to understand why the delicacy is an acquired taste. We also had the Chawan Mushi ($3.80) rich in egg mixture, creating a creamy taste. In it were tender chicken bits that blended well with the smooth texture of the savory steamed egg dish.
In contrast to the velvety textures of their entrees, we had Ten Don (Available on Thu Only $8.80), or Tempura Don, which consisted of battered and deep fried prawns, crabmeat and root vegetables on a bed of rice. Clean and crisp to taste, the dish was simply pleasurable.
Taking a bite out of the traditional Hokkaido style Katsu Don ($7.80) from their Gohan Mono selection was also a joy. The deep fried pork cutlet absorbs the pleasantly salty and sweet flavours of their homemade donburi sauce, which is made of onions, mushroom and bamboo in soy sauce. Topped with not one but two eggs and sprinkled with shredded seaweed that gets redistributed evenly into the rice below, this dish could not be more simple yet delicious.
Following which, we had their Salmon Sashimi (S $9 / M $14 / L $26) which came in fresh, fleshy slices. Dipped in wasabi sauce that added a little spice intense enough to taste, we found the sashimi very delectable.
We also had their Futomaki ($1.60) and Ebiko Special ($2.00), or "inverted sushi", from their Sushi Rei selection. The typical large roll of Futomaki was bright and tasteful. It delivered a sweet taste and interesting texture from its combination of soft scrambled egg, japanese pink sugar, gourd and crunchy cucumber ingredients. The Ebiko Special on the other hand was regular, nicely filled and bite-sized to our preference.
Finally, we ended our meal with a cheerful cup of Yakult Sundae ($3.80). Covered with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream in between and capped with whipped cream, the drink will most certainly be enjoyed by the young ones. The restaurant owner then carried on to share with us how his mother still takes time to check on the quality of food they serve, ensuring that the traditional Hokkaido taste is never compromised and always affordable for all to enjoy.
Overall, the experience at Tamako Meal was an enlightening one as I was swooned by the heartwarming dedication and passion the restaurant owners have for their food that they deliver. If you have never once stepped beyond the first stall along Casuarina, this is one reason you should do so soon.

At any rate, my photo files were a mess, and now they're not. Yay me! Getting ready to list a bunch of stuff in my Etsy store, and needed to see what I have/have not regarding listing pics. But while I was digging through the virtual closet, I found quite a few of my old photos, dolls I made back when I was still VERY new at the whole process, playing with all kinds of new ideas, techniques and materials.
I'd say don't laugh, but some of these are pretty mirth-inspiring, so chuckle away if you feel the need. I'm still proud of some of these starts, because they represent the very best part of finding out what I can do.
|"Good Bones"
|Made of a cornucopia basket, paper clay, and found stuff.
|Her wings move on their hinges...but she's pretty lazy.
|Josephine, Witch in Green Plaid.
|Old Gardeners never die...they just become great compost.
|Lord Elfwin, my second gourd art doll.
|He's the Keeper of Santa's list...don't tick him off.
|My FIRST gourd art doll...Tiamat. I think she weighs 8 lbs.
|Six months after she was finished, the clay finally dried and she cracked all over this nice smooth bottom.
|Marcelle...made with a wooden spoon, various toys, wood bits, and paper clay.
|Dreaming Bunny...she's preggers, and dreaming of the baby clothes she'll sew.
|Jack Frost was a challenge doll when I belonged to Art Dolls Only.
|He is proud of his skills.
|This one is called "Twa Corbies" after a very old Celtic song...
|...again, mixed media, with lots of found stuff.
|My first wooden cat doll. These are so fun.
|Learning cloth and clay...
Mostly these days I'm making the Izannah Walker dolls, wooden jointed dolls, and gourd art...but I can't completely get away from the mixed media, because I will always look at things and see something other than what's on the surface. That is another Best Thing I've learned from doll making.
Ciao, y'all.
