Our guide to new art shows and some that will be closing soon.
'HUMA BHABHA: WE COME IN PEACE' at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (through Oct. 28). This spare and unsettling sculptural installation for the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden Commission includes two figures: one that is somewhat humanoid but with a ferocious mask-face and that visually dwarfs the jagged Manhattan skyline behind it, and another bowing in supplication or prayer, with long cartoonish human hands and a scraggly tail emerging from its shiny, black drapery. The title is a variant on the line an alien uttered to an anxious crowd in the 1951 science-fiction movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still," but it ripples with other associations: colonization, invasion, imperialism or missionaries and other foreigners whose intentions were not always innocent. The installation also feels like an extension of the complex, cross-cultural conversation going on downstairs, inside a museum packed with 5,000 years of art history. (Martha Schwendener)

'THE FACE OF DYNASTY: ROYAL CRESTS FROM WESTERN CAMEROON' at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (through Sept. 3). In the African wing, a show of just four commanding wooden crowns constitutes a blockbuster in its own right. These massive wooden crests — in the form of stylized human faces with vast vertical brows — served as markers of royal power among the Bamileke peoples of the Cameroonian grasslands, and the Met's recent acquisition of an 18th-century specimen is joined here by three later examples, each featuring sharply protruding cheeks, broadly smiling mouths and brows incised with involute geometric patterns. Ritual objects like these were decisive for the development of Western modernist painting, and a Cameroonian crest was even shown at MoMA in the 1930s, as a "sculpture" divorced from ethnography. But these crests had legal and diplomatic significance as well as aesthetic appeal, and their anonymous African creators had a political understanding of art not so far from our own. (Jason Farago)

'GIACOMETTI' at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (through Sept. 12). This museum-filling outing for the signal sculptor of Western modernism is rather cautious — but revisionism can wait another day when the art looks as good as it does here. The Swiss artist's witty and erotic early sculpture, such as the still-shocking "Disagreeable Object" (a phallic torture device with a spiked business end), enraptured the Surrealists in early 1930s Paris, but Giacometti was never content with an art of ideas, and in his filthy studio, he soon started making elongated, emaciated humanoids that have since become emblems of Europe's postwar trauma. If you know Giacometti best for the bronzes that now go for obscene sums at auction, it's a particular pleasure here to see his work in plaster, a medium he adored; the humility of the handwork testifies to his anxious mastery. (Farago)

'HEAVENLY BODIES: FASHION AND THE CATHOLIC IMAGINATION' at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Cloisters (through Oct. 8). Let us pray. After last year's stark exhibition of Rei Kawakubo's irregular apparel, the Met Costume Institute is back in blockbuster mode with this three-part blowout on the influence of Catholicism on haute couture of the last century. The trinity of fashion begins downstairs at the Met with the exceptional loans of vestments from the Vatican; upstairs are gowns fit for angels in heaven (by Lanvin, Thierry Mugler, Rodarte) or angels fallen to earth (such as slinky Versace sheaths garlanded with crosses). The scenography at the Met is willfully operatic — spotlights, choir music — which militates against serious thinking about fashion and religion, but up at the Cloisters, by far the strongest third of the show, you can commune more peacefully with an immaculate Balenciaga wedding gown or a divine Valentino gown embroidered with Cranach's Adam and Eve. (Farago)

'THE JIM HENSON EXHIBITION' at the Museum of the Moving Image. The rainbow connection has been established in Astoria, Queens, where this museum has opened a new permanent wing devoted to the career of America's great puppeteer, who was born in Mississippi in 1936 and died, too young, in 1990. Henson began presenting the short TV program "Sam and Friends" before he was out of his teens; one of its characters, the soft-faced Kermit, was fashioned from his mother's old coat and would not mature into a frog for more than a decade. The influence of early variety television, with its succession of skits and songs, runs through "Sesame Street" and "The Muppet Show," though Henson also spent the late 1960s crafting peace-and-love documentaries and prototyping a psychedelic nightclub. Young visitors will delight in seeing Big Bird, Elmo, Miss Piggy and the Swedish Chef; adults can dig deep into sketches and storyboards and rediscover some old friends. (Farago)

'HISTORY REFUSED TO DIE: HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE SOULS GROWN DEEP FOUNDATION GIFT' at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (through Sept. 23). This inspired foundation is dispersing around 1,200 works by black self-taught artists from the American South to museums across the country. The Met's exhibition of 29 of the 57 pieces it received proposes an exciting broadening of postwar art. It is dominated by the dialogue between the rough-hewed relief paintings of Thornton Dial and the geometrically, chromatically brilliant quilts of the Gee's Bend collective. But much else chimes in, including works by Purvis Young, Joe Minter and Lonnie Holley. (Roberta Smith)
212-535-7710, metmuseum.org
'ALEJANDRO G. IÑÁRRITU: CARNE Y ARENA' at 1611 Benning Road NE, Washington (through Aug. 31, 9 a.m.-9 p.m.). Perhaps the most technically accomplished endeavor yet in virtual reality — but closer in form to immersive live theater, created by a two-time Oscar winner — has arrived at a former church in Washington after outings in Cannes, Milan, Los Angeles and Mexico City. In "Carne y Arena" ("Flesh and Sand"), you explore the exhibition on your own with a motion-sensitive headset that transports you to Mexico's border with the United States; brutal encounters with border guards interweave with surreal dream sequences, which you can perceive in three dimensions. The characters are computer renderings of the bodies of actual migrants; the landscapes are photographed by Mr. Iñárritu's brilliant longtime cinematographer, Emmanuel Lubezki. It remains too early to say whether virtual reality will reshape art institutions, but this is a rare achievement, and not only for its political urgency. Tickets will be released only on the website at 8 a.m. Eastern Time on the 1st and 15th of each month of the exhibition's duration. (Farago)
'THE INCOMPLETE ARAKI' at the Museum of Sex (through Aug. 31). It remains a bit of a tourist trap, but the for-profit Museum of Sex is making its most serious bid yet for artistic credibility with a two-floor exhibition of Japan's most prominent and controversial photographer. Nobuyoshi Araki has spent decades shooting Tokyo streetscapes, blossoming flowers and, notably, women trussed up in the baroque rope bondage technique known as kinbaku-bi, or "the beauty of tight binding." Given the venue, it's natural that this show concentrates on the erotic side of his art, but less lustful visitors can discover an ambitious cross section of Mr. Araki's omnivorous photography, including his lastingly moving "Sentimental Journey," picturing his beloved wife, Yoko, from honeymoon to funeral. (Farago)

'BODYS ISEK KINGELEZ: CITY DREAMS' at the Museum of Modern Art (through Jan. 1). The first comprehensive survey of the Congolese artist is a euphoric exhibition as utopian wonderland featuring his fantasy architectural models and cities — works strong in color, eccentric in shape, loaded with enthralling details and futuristic aura. Mr. Kingelez (1948-2015) was convinced that the world had never seen a vision like his, and this beautifully designed show bears him out. (Smith)
212-708-9400, moma.org
'LIKE LIFE: SCULPTURE, COLOR AND THE BODY (1300 TO NOW)' at the Met Breuer (through July 22). Taking a second run at the splashy theme-show extravaganza, the Met Breuer has greater success. This one is certainly more coherent since it centers entirely on the body and its role in art, science, religion and entertainment. It gathers together some 120 sculptures, dolls, artist's dummies, effigies, crucifixes and automatons. Many are rarely lent and may not return anytime soon. (Smith)
212-731-1675, metmuseum.org
'THE LONG RUN' at the Museum of Modern Art (through Nov. 4). The museum upends its cherished Modern narrative of ceaseless progress by mostly young (white) men. Instead we see works by artists 45 and older who have just kept on keeping on, regardless of attention or reward, sometimes saving the best for last. Art here is an older person's game, a pursuit of a deepening personal vision over innovation. Winding through 17 galleries, the installation is alternatively visually or thematically acute and altogether inspiring. (Smith)
212-708-9400, moma.org
'GEORGIA O'KEEFFE: VISIONS OF HAWAI'I' at the New York Botanical Garden (through Oct. 28). Finding out O'Keeffe had a Hawaiian period is kind of like finding out Brian Wilson had a desert period. But here it is: 17 eye-popping paradisal paintings, produced in a nine-week visit in 1939. The paintings, and their almost psychedelic palette, are as fleshlike and physical as O'Keeffe's New Mexican work is stripped and metaphysical. The other star of the show, fittingly, is Hawaii, and the garden has mounted a living display of the subjects depicted in the artwork. As much as they might look like the products of an artist's imagination, the plants and flowers in the Enid Haupt Conservatory are boastfully real. On Aloha Nights every Saturday in June and every other Saturday in July and August, the garden is staging a cultural complement of activities, including lei making, hula lessons and ukulele performances. (William L. Hamilton)

'PAINTED IN MEXICO, 1700-1790: PINXIT MEXICI' at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (through July 22). Most religious art is visual theater, none more so than the great Roman Catholic church paintings of 18th-century Mexico, which are at the center of this extraordinary exhibition, one of the high points of the season. Only within the past few decades has Spanish colonial art been awarded anything like center-stage status, and for reasons of unfamiliarity alone, the show is not to be missed. However, the real attraction is drama. You don't have to be religious to respond to a painterly tour de force like "Apotheosis of the Eucharist" by Rodriguez Juarez, which, like an organ chord, opens the show. Commissioned for the convent of Corpus Christi in Mexico City, the work's inspiration was as much political as devotional. (The convent was founded for Indian women of noble birth, at a time when "noble" and "Indian" were mutually exclusive concepts in much of Europe.) But what most matters about it now — and surely did when it was new — is its visionary imagery: the swirling clouds, the fainting saints, the angel-borne host that beams like a high-power flashlight. The show also features unforgettable portraits and cityscapes, though heaven remains the focal point. (Holland Cotter)
212-535-7710, metmuseum.org
'ADRIAN PIPER: A SYNTHESIS OF INTUITIONS, 1965-2016' at the Museum of Modern Art (through July 22). A clarifying and complicating 50-year view of a major American artist's career, this exhibition is also an image-altering event for MoMA itself. It makes the museum feel like a more life-engaged institution than the formally polished one we're accustomed to. For the first time it has given over all of its sixth-floor special exhibition space to a single living female artist who is best known for her art about racism, and for good reason: It's powerful work, brilliantly varied in form. She has also consistently used her own image in inventive, distanced, self-mocking ways, as in two well-known self-likenesses done several years apart: one, a pencil drawing titled "Self-Portrait Exaggerating My Negroid Features" (1981); the other, a crayon-enhanced photograph called "Self-Portrait as a Nice White Lady" (1995). In these images, as in all of her work, her aim is not to assert racial identity but to destabilize the very concept of it. (Cotter)
212-708-9400, moma.org
'RENOIR: FATHER AND SON/PAINTING AND CINEMA' at Barnes Foundation, Philadelphia (through Sept. 3). Jean Renoir transformed the history of cinema with humanistic, precisely edited films like "The Grand Illusion," and especially "The Rules of the Game" — considered one of the greatest films ever made, though it was a box-office flop on its release in 1939. Yet the critic he strove most to please was his father, the Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir. This terrific dad-and-lad exhibition, organized with Paris's Musée d'Orsay, interweaves painting and cinema into a heartfelt survey of Jean Renoir's career, and finds paternal influence in the pastoral romance of "A Day in the Country" or the bright landscapes of his 1959 color film "Picnic on the Grass." The irony? It is Jean Renoir who now seems the more inventive artist, even if he was convinced that "I have always imitated my father." (Farago)

'SCENES FROM THE COLLECTION' at the Jewish Museum. After a surgical renovation to its grand pile on Fifth Avenue, the Jewish Museum has reopened its third-floor galleries with a rethought, refreshed display of its permanent collection, which intermingles 4,000 years of Judaica with modern and contemporary art by Jews and gentiles alike — Mark Rothko, Lee Krasner, Nan Goldin, Cindy Sherman and the excellent young Nigerian draftswoman Ruby Onyinyechi Amanze. The works are shown in a nimble, nonchronological suite of galleries, and some of its century-spanning juxtapositions are bracing; others feel reductive, even dilettantish. But always, the Jewish Museum conceives of art and religion as interlocking elements of a story of civilization, commendably open to new influences and new interpretations. (Farago)
212-423-3200, thejewishmuseum.org
'THE SENSES: DESIGN BEYOND VISION' at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum (through Oct. 28). There's a serious, timely big idea at this exhibition: As social media, smartphones and virtual reality make us ever more "ocularcentric," we have taken leave of our nonvisual senses — and need to get back in touch, literally. Thus "The Senses" features multisensory adventures such as a portable-speaker-size contraption that emits odors, with titles like "Surfside" and "Einstein," in timed combinations; hand-painted scratch-and-sniff wallpaper (think Warhol's patterned cows but with cherries — cherry-scented, naturally); and a device that projects ultrasonic waves to simulate the touch and feel of virtual objects. The show also presents commissions, videos, products and prototypes from more than 65 designers and teams, some of which address sensory disabilities like blindness and deafness, including Vibeat, which can be worn as a bracelet, brooch or necklace and translates music into vibrations. And if you bring the kids, they will likely bliss out stroking a wavy, fur-lined installation that makes music as you rub it. (Michael Kimmelman)
212-849-8400, cooperhewitt.org
'CHAIM SOUTINE: FLESH' at the Jewish Museum (through Sept. 16). The Russian Jewish artist Chaim Soutine (1893-1943), who spent most of his life in Paris, is best known for bloody, ecstatic paintings of beef carcasses. But it wasn't death that interested him — it was the immaterial life force of the material world. Along with an instructive lineup of naked fowl, silver herring and popeyed sardines, this indispensable tribute to the transcendent but still undervalued painter centers on a stupendous 1925 "Carcass of Beef," glistening scarlet, streaked with orange fat and straddling a starry sky. (Will Heinrich)

'THROUGH A DIFFERENT LENS: STANLEY KUBRICK PHOTOGRAPHS' at the Museum of the City of New York (through Oct. 28). This exhibition of the great director's photography is essentially Kubrick before he became Kubrick. Starting in 1945, when he was 17 and living in the Bronx, he worked as a photographer for Look magazine, and the topics that he explored are chestnuts so old that they smell a little moldy: lovers embracing on a park bench as their neighbors gaze ostentatiously elsewhere, patients anxiously awaiting their doctors appointment, boxing hopefuls in the ring, celebrities at home, pampered dogs in the city. It probably helped that Kubrick was just a kid, so instead of inducing yawns, these magazine perennials struck him as novelties, and he in turn brought something fresh to them. Photographs that emphasize the mise-en-scène could be movie stills: a shouting circus executive who takes up the right side of the foreground while aerialists rehearse in the middle distance, a boy climbing to a roof with the city tenements surrounding him, a subway car filled with sleeping passengers. Looking at these pictures, you want to know what comes next. (Arthur Lubow)

'WORLD ON THE HORIZON: SWAHILI ARTS ACROSS THE INDIAN OCEAN' at the National Museum of African Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington (through Sept. 3). The Swahili coast of East Africa is home to a crossroads culture. For millenniums, the port cities in Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique have been centers of long-distance trade and cultural exchange from multiple directions. To the west, they were anciently connected by caravan with Central Africa; to the east, by ship with India, China and Japan; to the north, with an Arab world that included Oman, Iran and Yemen; and to the south, via roundabout shipping routes with Europe and the Americas. This exhibition makes both the great beauty and the deep disturbance of those connections — East Africa was a nodal point on the international slave trade — evident. (Cotter)

Last Chance
'GUTAI: 1954-59' at Fergus McCaffrey Gallery (through June 30). This extraordinary exhibition of over 70 works transports us to the early, most innovative years of the Gutai group, the leading avant-gardists of postwar Japan. At every turn we see forward-looking artwork — especially paintings — that incorporate unusual materials and aspects of performance, and sense the speed with which the Gutai took possession of the latest ideas from the United States and Europe, often thanks to indigenous traditions like calligraphy. The show is the latest example of history being rewritten before our eyes. Jackson who? (Smith)
212-988-2200, fergusmccaffrey.com
'THE METROPOLIS IN LATIN AMERICA, 1830-1930' at Americas Society (through June 30). Fans of Latin American architecture are overly besotted with the modernist era: Luis Barragán's color-saturated houses in Mexico City, Oscar Niemeyer's cutting-edge presidential palace in Brasília. But this eye-opening exhibition turns the clock back 100 years and shows how six cities — Buenos Aires; Havana; Lima, Peru; Mexico City; Rio de Janeiro; and Santiago, Chile — used architecture and urban design to express new national ambitions. Vintage photographs disclose how in Mexico's sprawling capital its new republican government erected statues of Cuauhtémoc, the last Aztec emperor, while Argentina plowed out lordly avenues in imitation of Haussmann-era Paris. All these cities had keen architectural ambitions, though if you have to pick the most sophisticated, it's Rio in a landslide. Stare at Marc Ferrez's jaw-dropping 1895 panoramic photograph of the erstwhile Brazilian capital, with Sugarloaf Mountain looming over Botafogo and Flamengo, and book the next flight. (Farago)
212-249-8950, as-coa.org
'MILLENNIUM: LOWER MANHATTAN IN THE 1990S' at the Skyscraper Museum (through June 24). This plucky Battery Park institution transports us back to the years of Rudy Giuliani, Lauryn Hill and 128-kilobit modems to reveal the enduring urban legacy of a decade bookended by recession and terror. In the wake of the 1987 stock market crash, landlords in the financial district rezoned their old skyscrapers for residential occupancy, and more than 20 towers were declared landmarks, including the ornate Standard Oil building at 26 Broadway and the home of Delmonico's at 56 Beaver Street. Battery Park City flowered; yuppies priced out of TriBeCa came down to Wall Street; a new Guggenheim, designed by a fresh-from-Bilbao Frank Gehry, nearly arose by South Street Seaport. From this distance, the 1990s can seem almost like a golden age, not least given that, more than 16 years after Sept. 11, construction at the underwhelming new World Trade Center is still not finished. (Farago)
'ALBERTO SAVINIO' at the Center for Italian Modern Art (through June 23). The paintings of this Italian polymath have long been overshadowed by the brilliant work of his older brother, Giorgio de Chirico. This show of more than 20 canvases from the late 1920s to the mid-30s may not change that, but the mix of landscapes with bright patterns and several eerie portraits based on family photographs are surprisingly of the moment. (Smith)

Things aren't going to get any better for Oliver Queen anytime soon, at least not according to a new synopsis for an upcoming episode of Arrow. All year, the battle against Adrian Chase/Prometheus has spelled doom for the Green Arrow and his friends. Of course, it's almost made for some great television and a strong season for the flagship show of the Arrowverse. But while Oliver has had his resolved strengthened and gained some valuable allies, he's not out of the woods yet.
As the finale approaches, things will get worse before they get better. Next week, the hunt for Chase will continue in "Dangerous Liasons" before Oliver and Felicity will get trapped and forced to relive their breakup in "Underneath." Thanks to a new trailer for the remaining five episodes of the season, it looks like it'll be all-out war as the team faces Chase and his minions. We already know they'll be forced to team-up with Deathstroke, and it looks like there's a pretty good reason thanks to a new synopsis.
The CW released the description for "Honor Thy Fathers," which will air in three weeks and lead into the final two episodes of the season.
"CHASE CONTINUES TO TORMENT OLIVER — Oliver (Stephen Amell) returns to the mayor's office and faces one of his most pressing issues yet – the forced release of dozens of violent criminals prosecuted by Adrian Chase (Josh Segarra). Meanwhile, a crate is delivered to Oliver's office containing a mysterious corpse encased in concrete. Laura Belsey directed the episode written by Marc Guggenheim & Sarah Tarkoff (#521). Original airdate 5/10/2017."
Thanks to the release of Arrow's finale date, we know there will be no more interruptions from now until the end of the season. As such, the action and return of so many characters will likely set a relentless pace for the show. We previously suspected that Chase would recruit old foes of Oliver's to help take him down, but now it looks like the reason for the return of people like Cody Rhodes is due to something more political.
With the reveal that Chase has been terrorizing Star City as a serial killer, his role as DA will be called into question. It looks like the results will see a number of villains released from prison at once, which will surely be hell on Team Arrow, who will be forced to clean up the streets once again. The reveal of '"a mysterious corpse encased in concrete" is also quite puzzling, and surely won't amount to anything good. With executive producer Marc Guggenheim co-writing the script, expect a pivotal and tense episode as Arrow heads to its five-year endgame.
Arrow returns Wednesday, April 26 with "Dangerous Liaisons" at 8 p.m. on The CW.

Less than a week after premiering its basketball-themed companion, VH1 is moving forward with an eight-episode order of unscripted series "Football Wives."
Similar to "Basketball Wives," which launched this past weekend, "Football Wives" will follow the ups and downs of spouses of NFL stars. It is tentatively scheduled to bow toward the end of 2010.
The new version of "Football Wives" should not be confused with the fictional program "Football Wives" that was based on ITV series "Footballers Wives" and ordered to pilot by ABC in 2007. However, U.K. production company Shed Media is behind both the new VH1 "Football Wives" and the earlier incarnations.
Nick Emmerson, Jennifer O'Connell and Alex Demyanenko of Shed are exec producing.
The series premiere of "Basketball Wives" on VH1 at 10 p.m. Sunday drew a 0.9 rating in the 18-49 demo and 1.6 million viewers. Shaunie O'Neal, the estranged wife of NBA star Shaquille O'Neal, is an exec producer on "Basketball Wives" and part of the cast.

Looking For A Job With One Hand
How do you find a job without experience? How do you get experience without a job? Try finding a job with one hand! This adds an extra layer to one of life's most eternal questions. A layer I never quite enjoyed experiencing. Blog #33 of my "40 Blogs in 40 Days about 40 Podcasts" campaign of awareness speaks to my early experiences finding a job with one hand. Whether I was capable to do the work or was never really the issue. The issue was whether or not the person hiring perceived if I could do the job or not. Even if I could do the work, if they believed I could not, chances are I would not get hired. This type of thing was very present when trying to find manual labor, craft labor, or working in restaurants. From the age of 15 to 27 these were the kinds of jobs I was applying for as employment. Some of it had to do with being young, some of it was lifestyle, and the rest was wanting to travel. I needed and wanted seasonal work or work that was easy to leave, easy to find, and potentially easy to return.
What made this such a paradox were these types of jobs work well with two hands in people's perception. Construction work, landscaping, flippin' burgers, and washing dishes were greats jobs for my lifestyle in the early part of my life, but not so great when it came time to hiring. More often than not I was on the unfortunate side of what people hiring thought I was able to accomplish. Not all potential employers thought this way and that was always a refreshing experience. However, many of them did. Once I took the "Help Wanted" sign of the window of a nightclub and carried it in and asked the owner for the job. He looked right at me and said, "We do not hire handicapped people." At least he was honest. And that honesty let's me know I did not want to work for someone like that. I find these interactions to be disconcerting and they leave a bad taste in my mouth.
My last two years living in Seattle, Washington were spent working in the Pike Place Market. I earned some "Market Cred" serving food at Jack's Fish Spot, Emmett Watson's Oyster Bar, and finally at World Class Chili. My boss at the Chili Parlor, Joe Canavan, gave me two deep nuggets of wisdom about being an employee and finding a job.
Regarding working for him he once said, "I do not care if you have one hand, two hands, no hands, or three hands! If you want the job you got to do the work!" At first I was not quite sure how to interpret what he was saying. Sometimes I still am not sure… I think it had two meanings. The first was that me not having two hands was not a consideration for him. The second meaning was if I wanted to work for him I needed to find a way. I found this to be inspiring. The second nugget of wisdom had to do with finding work. He said I needed to change my thinking and my approach with physical labor jobs. "Don't go looking for a job," he said. "You need to look for a way to have the chance to prove yourself. Once they see you work they will hire you." The advice I received from Joe has worked every time I have used it. And I have used it many times! In fact, when I speak to limb deficient kids and teens I share this advice with them. Often they contact me to tell me it has helped them get jobs too.
Here is a story in the form of a talk I did for the Bureau of Reclamation about Disability Employment and the benefits of hiring people with Disabilities. I was asked to speak as part of National Disability Employment Awareness Month. The podcast covers mostly the good side of my experiences as a one handed worker. However, I do cover some areas that were not so cool. In all do fairness finding work with one hand was incredibly difficult at times. As I mentioned, I found it more challenging to work with other people's perception of me, and my potential as an employee, than dealing with my own disability. My experiences looking for work in my late teens and early twenties truly had me look and myself and others. The advice I received from the "Chili Guru" Joe Canavan helped me find work in a totally different light. Finally, in my late twenties I was hired as a graphic designer by the Bureau of Reclamation under the "Schedule A" hiring practices to help hire people with disabilities.
So much can be said about the human condition. And in my standard process of sharing my one handed life with a positive overtone, humor, and life lessons, I hope to bring a higher quality of being human to our condition. Please enjoy my story and unique perspective as I take it to the job, workin' it 9-to-5.

It starts at the Krusty Krab when SpongeBob realizes they're out of tartar sauce, but when he checks the vat he realizes it's empty and it has been there for 50 years. When Mr. Krabs yells at him to get back to work, SpongeBob explains the situation. Mr. Krabs gets an idea to start a time capsule.
The next scene shows the tarder sauce vat next to a hole with a large stage next to it. A huge line of people are in line to make contributions and Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob and Squidward to handle them while he sells souvenirs. It shows several people making contributions which Squidward critiques but SpongeBob finds everything amazing. Mr. Krabs sells cheap souvenirs for outrageous prices. Patrick comes to make a donation of his favorite rock, Squidward lets him put the rock in the air but hits the wood behind him flinging Squidward, SpongeBob, and Patrick into the Time Capsule, trapping them. Mr. Krabs puts a copy of the Krabby Patty formula in the capsule making Plankton interested.
In the time capsule the 3 of them imagine what the future would be like until Squidward gets knocked out. Plankton drills into the capsule hitting shaving cream that sprays Patrick which gives him a beard and Patrick sprays SpongeBob and Squidward. Squidward wakes up thinking its been 50 years due to the beard and escapes through the hole Plankton created. The "future" isn't what Squidward wanted so he goes back to the time capsule shoving the formula into Plankton's mouth on his way back. The episode ends with Plankton constipated with his body shaped like a bottle and Karen calls him "poopsy" and Plankton asks for more prunes.
Home video releases
- SpongeBob SquarePants: The Complete 7th Season
- The time capsule date had the year of 1960 on it and this episode aired in 2010. In real life, 2010 actually is 50 years after 1960. At the beginning, when SpongeBob sees the date on the time capsule, he infers that it has been there for 50 years.
- Since the bottle would have passed through his system by now, Plankton should now have the formula. However, it is unknown if or how he lost the formula. It could have smashed in the toilet and ruined it, or accidentally got flushed.
- There is a painting of Squidward in the Time Capsule even though everybody hates his art, he could have thrown it in there himself.
- When Mr. Krabs threw the formula in the capsule, the capsule was full to the brim. But when the scene cuts back to SpongeBob and company, it was barely full and seemed to be a lot wider.
- Within all the chrome in SpongeBob's future thoughts, it is similar to SB-129, although it takes 2,000 years after the main event. But SpongeHenge contradicts to SB-129 as well, as 3,000 years after the main event, there is no chrome background.
- When SpongeBob and Patrick are playing Pretzel Pals, Patrick said "forehead on yellow" when he actually he was using the back of his head.
- When Squidward is touching his "beard" it doesn't make sense that he wouldn't notice it is not hair and doesn't come off on his hands.
Cultural References
- This could be based on the Nickelodeon time capsule that will be opened in April 30, 2042. It was buried in 1992 at the old Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios in Orlando, FL. After the closure of the building and remodeling it for the Blue Man Group, it was reburied at the Nickelodeon Suites Hotel about 10 miles from Universal.
- When SpongeBob dreams of technological future advancements, the teleporting noise is Star Trek's famous "beaming" sound.
- When SpongeBob throws the plate it breaks, but when they're trapped inside, the plate is back together again.
- The switch on the toaster that was donated was pushed down and did not have a cord.
- In the crowd outside the time capsule, there are multiple identical fish.

By Samii Ryan
T-shirt curtesy of Samii Ryan; Dreamcatcher necklace made by me; Other necklaces thrifted; Feather earrings from eBay.
I recently received a few items from the Samii Ryan online store, this "Hungry Like a Wolf" t-shirt and the two beautiful handmade necklaces below. The necklaces are all a little different and they're sent to you at random, so there's a bit of surprise as to which one you'll get. And I love that they are all unique, so it's like having a one-of-a-kind piece.
But what she's probably most known for is her feather hairclips (You may have seen Ke$ha wearing the purple one on New Year's Eve w/ Ryan Seacrest). I plan on buying one of those soon. I really like the white quill feathers and the peasant and peacock feathers. I think those are the two that would look best with my hair color. Everything is also pretty reasonably priced, even for a thrift shopper like myself. Right now, this arrowhead necklace is on sale for only $5!
P.S. -->Follow me on Twitter<-- I swear, I'm gonna start using it now!
Disclosure: I received the tee and necklaces from Samii Ryan in exchange for a review on the blog. Although this post is sponsored, all opinions are my own.

BIRMINGHAM, England (Reuters) - The government is calculating the cost of Scotland splitting from Britain to reinforce its case against nationalist demands for independence, a cabinet minister said on Monday.
Ministers in every government department are examining the implications of a Scottish separation on areas such as defence, welfare payments, and broadcasting, Scottish Secretary Michael Moore told Reuters in an interview.
"(There is) a sharpened focus on what is at stake if ... Scotland should go off on its own," he said, speaking on the sidelines of his Liberal Democrat party's conference in Birmingham.
The exercise would be completed before the end of the year, he added.
The Scottish National Party (SNP) won a majority in the devolved Scottish parliament in May and pledged to hold a referendum on independence within five years, some 300 years after Scotland and England were united.
Alex Salmond, the SNP leader and first minister of Scotland, is delaying the referendum until late in his five-year term so as to turn the surge in his party's popularity into stronger support for breaking away from Britain.
But keeping his political powder dry means Salmond has also given little detail about what an independent Scotland would look like.
As a result, the nationalist party was refusing to engage in a proper debate, Moore said.
"We're doing our work to make sure that we can make a good positive case about the United Kingdom and challenge the SNP on the costs and risks attached to separation," he said.
"From the SNP we've yet to hear anything about how they see energy policy, welfare policy, pensions, foreign affairs or anything else."
The government is firmly opposed to a break-up of the union with Scotland, instead offering the country greater powers to vary taxes and borrow money for infrastructure projects.
Scotland has its own legal system and already has devolved responsibility for domestic matters such as health, education and emergency services.
The call for full independence raises questions over the future of British defence assets based in Scotland, the split of oil revenues from the North Sea and what currency the country would adopt.
There have been suggestions that the SNP might offer voters a choice of full independence or greater autonomy over domestic matters but remaining within Britain.
Moore said it was not enough for nationalists to float the idea of greater devolution short of independence without providing details of how it would operate.
"What we are being offered is some vague notion of something a little bit extra that isn't quite independence, and we are invited to take that on trust.
"It's not the way anything works in politics, ever, and it's certainly not going to work with something as fundamental as the future of Scotland's role within the UK."

Which Baseball Catchers Equipment is Right For You?
So catchers are the leaders on the field. Were the only ones that see the entire diamond. We stand back here. We have a view of everything. We get to give signs. A lot of people like that part of it. The other part of it is we get to wear some pretty cool baseball catchers gear. We got our chest protector, our shin guards and our mask. Often called the tools of ignorance. It's part of what sets us apart. We're baseball catchers. We look almost like soldiers back here. That's part of what made me want to be a catcher. We got all this on. We look great. We look even tougher than we might really be. So lets talk about the gear.
The Shin Guards
We have one on each leg. The name kind of says a lot. They protect our shins, our knees, our ankles and our toes. Their invaluable when it comes to kneeling down and blocking balls. Be awfully painful without them. If looking for a pair, I recommend something that's lightweight. Something that's comfortable. But make sure that there long enough. I've seen a lot of catchers with shin guards that don't go up high enough. It leaves part of there knee exposed. There here to protect you. They need to at least get to the top of the knee.
Chest Protector
The name kind of says it all. It protects our chest. Also protects our stomach, part of our neck and both of our shoulders. It should fit nice and snug. We don't want it hanging down low. We don't want it hanging forward. It only works if it's fitting properly. When we drop down to block, if it's hanging all the way down it can't do it's job. So make sure it's snug. Make sure it's fitting tight.
Catchers Mask
When it comes to a mask. There's two different types of mask. We have the traditional two-piece mask, which is what I wore for almost my entire career, and the hockey style mask. Both work. In a lot of youth leagues, the hockey style mask is required. Their forced to wear this mask. So it makes it simple, you don't have a choice. They give you a slightly different view. The hockey mask is closer to your face. The two-piece sits a little further away but it's much much lighter. So make sure you check the league rules before you purchase a mask.
Always make sure the chest protector's long enough. Always make sure your shin guards fit. And lastly, do I even need to say it? Make sure if you get behind the plate, you always have a cup on. Coaches never let a kid get behind the plate without a cup on. And as a player I mean do I really even need to explain it. Also knee savers. Not mandatory when it comes to catching gear. A lot of catchers wear them now. They are more comfortable. They can put a little more stress on other parts of your body. Just look into them. And if you do wear them, make sure their put on the bottom of the shin guards, not half way up. We don't need to see Yogi Berra coming back. We don't need to see catchers sitting up here again. You want to be able to sit low. You need to be able to block from there. Knee savers sometimes can get in the way. So the next time you get behind home plate, go ahead put some good looking gear on. It's what sets us apart out there. Were catchers.

For me avoiding dairy products has been the key to clear skin. It took about 2 weeks to see a difference but I have been virtually acne-free for months. Whenever I slip up and eat a dairy product (hidden in prepared food), I get a pimple. I wish that I had known this middle school!

With Israel Elections Looming, U.S. Faces No-Win Choices
President Bill Clinton and his Mideast team may be getting what they want as Israel moves toward early elections that could prematurely end the reign of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
But there's little elation in Washington, where memories of the last election — when Clinton's virtual endorsement of Shimon Peres produced a backlash that has soured relations between the two leaders to this day — and anxiety about the May 4 Mideast train wreck are strong. That date, which marks the end of the Oslo interim period, is when Yasir Arafat has threatened to declare Palestinian statehood.
Officials here are caught between two bad options. Standing on the sidelines and allowing implementation of the Wye River Memorandum to stall could prove fatal to the Israeli-Palestinian talks. But efforts to push both sides to implement the agreement while elections, scheduled for May 17, are in the offing could be taken as interference in Israel's internal affairs — a perception that is certain to blow up in the administration's face.
"Almost everything in Israel is seen through a political lens," said Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League. "The administration will have to be very careful about who it embraces and what positions it takes in the coming months because everything will be used and abused by all sides in Israel."
Observers here say the administration is unlikely to repeat the mistake it made in 1996, when Clinton's virtual endorsement ignited a firestorm in Israel and in the American Jewish community — even though Washington's unspoken strategy in recent months has been to keep the Israeli-Palestinian talks on life support until a new government that supports the Oslo process is elected.
"I suspect they learned their lesson," said Robert Satloff, director of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, a pro-Israel think tank. "I expect they will studiously avoid even the perception of interference, of siding with one side or another."
But that may be easier said than done — especially since failing Israeli-Palestinian negotiations and prospects for a regional explosion on May 4 will put strong pressure on the administration to remain involved.
"Ideally, the administration should be pushing both sides to comply with Wye," said an official with a pro-peace process group. "But they are keenly aware that any pressure on Israel will somehow become part of the Israeli political mess. They're torn between their desire to do something to rescue the talks and the knowledge that what they do could impact the election in unforeseen ways."
The administration's dilemma, this observer noted, will be exacerbated by the political situation in Israel, which is growing murkier by the day.
Netanyahu faces challenges from all sides, with Knesset member Benny Begin staking out a position in opposition to the Oslo and Wye accords, former cabinet minister Dan Meridor and recently retired Army chief of staff Amnon Lipkin-Shahak trying to shape a new centrist coalition. Likud veteran Uzi Landau will challenge Netanyahu for the party leadership, and former army chief of staff Ehud Barak will carry the Labor banner into battle.
The political free-for-all vastly increases the chances that any U.S. effort to shore up the sinking peace process could turn into fodder for the partisan wars in Israel.
Jewish leaders are prepared to encourage ongoing U.S. efforts in one area: pressuring Arafat to live up to his agreements.
"There's no reason to believe there will be any need for U.S. pressure — except on the Palestinians, whose compliance continues to be unacceptable," said Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice-chair of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.
Hoenlein agreed that the administration "does not want to see the peace process frozen. But they also know any pressures from the outside can work both ways. They know everything they say and do will be watched very closely, here and in Israel."
Arafat remains a wild card in the Israeli elections. If he continues his foot dragging in complying with Oslo and Wye compliance — or if he seeks to exploit the political confusion in Israel — he could end up boosting Netanyahu, or even Begin.
Tight Budgets Ahead
Jewish activists who were hoping for increases in vital health and welfare programs in 1999 may be in for a disappointment, according to some analysts.
Despite a growing budget surplus — the result of an economy that keeps on booming, despite economic crises in other parts of the world — the pressure will be strong to keep federal spending down as the 106th Congress gets down to business and the administration gets ready to offer its spending proposals for fiscal year 2000.
"It's going to be a difficult year because there's a perception that there's a lot of money —but in fact there's very little in the budget to play with," said Mark Pelavin, associate director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism.
Spending caps incorporated into recent budget resolutions mean that there will be almost no discretionary funding available for the health, education and welfare programs President Bill Clinton has promised to promote in the last two years of his term.
The administration hopes to find "offsets"— other areas in the federal budget that can be raided to fund new programs without cutting into the budget surplus.
But offsets are becoming harder and harder to find.
Legislators are also hearing predictions of an economic slowdown in 1999 that could put a big dent in the surplus, and many have been taking flak from voters about a pork-filled budget bill that ended the 105th Congress. At the same time, the administration is proposing an increase in defense spending — one more strain on the budget.
Jews Sticking With Gore

Will Jewish voters — and, more importantly, Jewish campaign contributors — stick with Vice President Al Gore in his quest for the 2000 Democratic presidential nomination?
Jewish Republicans predict a mass exodus, but Democratic activists and political scientists tell a different story.
Despite Gore's closeness to the scandal-plagued Bill Clinton, they say the vice president will remain a strong front-runner among Jewish voters.
"Predictions that Jews will desert Gore are nonsense," said presidential historian Allen J. Lichtman of American University.
Lichtman pointed to Gore's wide base of support in the community — including support from some pro-Israel hardliners who have been unhappy with the Clinton administration's pressure on Israel as well as from many Jews who take liberal positions on domestic issues.
His potential rivals for the nomination lack that kind of Jewish support, he said.
"The biggest factor may be that Jewish voters simply don't see viable alternatives," Lichtman said. "[Former senator and basketball star Bill] Bradley is a great guy, but he's not a viable candidate. He's not going to awaken anybody out of their slumber. The Jewish community tends to go for winners, and they aren't likely to see him as a winner."
Jews are even less likely to support another run by civil rights activist Jesse Jackson, he said. And House Majority Leader Dick Gephardt (D-Mo.), apparently sensing the possibility of getting the speaker's job in 2001, seems to be losing interest in a presidential bid.

Definitely and officially pro-establishment
Three of the four media outlets that received and published large numbers of secret NSA documents provided by Edward Snowden — The Guardian, the New York Times, and The Intercept –– have called for the U.S. government to allow the NSA whistleblower to return to the U.S. with no charges. That's the normal course for a news organization, which owes its sources duties of protection, and which — by virtue of accepting the source's materials and then publishing them — implicitly declares the source's information to be in the public interest.
But not the Washington Post. In the face of a growing ACLU and Amnesty-led campaign to secure a pardon for Snowden, timed to this weekend's release of the Oliver Stone biopic "Snowden," the Post editorial page today not only argued in opposition to a pardon, but explicitly demanded that Snowden — the paper's own source — stand trial on espionage charges or, as a "second-best solution," accept "a measure of criminal responsibility for his excesses and the U.S. government offers a measure of leniency."
In doing so, the Washington Post has achieved an ignominious feat in U.S. media history: the first-ever paper to explicitly editorialize for the criminal prosecution of its own source — one on whose back the paper won and eagerly accepted a Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. But even more staggering than this act of journalistic treachery against the paper's own source are the claims made to justify it.

Absinthe Gustave
+ a free sample of Gustave barrel-aged
We recommend rinsing your fountain before first using it, as there may be traces of powder left from the traditional metal-casting process.
Ice can be added to the water in the reservoir, to create the perfect temperature.
Rather than emptying the fountain straight after using it, it is recommended to leave it overnight, avoiding any small risk, however rare, of thermal shock to the glass parts.
Contrary to what one might assume, absinthe fountains actually arrived very late in its history, carafes having been used before. It is thought that they were introduced by the absinthe-makers Cusenier in 1886, trying to give absinthe a healthy image. Water at the time was not the best quality, and so the fountains also contained a filter to remove impurities.

I bought the Artemisia mini 2-tap-fountain a while back. It's very beautiful, easy to set up and with a sturdy construction. When I set it up I noticed that my taps were welded a little uneven which gives an altogether unbalanced appearance if you look closely. I also noticed a lot of small uneaventies in the glass, like scratches and tiny bubbles (I didn't buy a 2nd rated product). It also lacks a protective plate at the base and stands directly on sharp brass edges. So as this piece is quite heavy it will easily leave marks on the surface you put it on. However, I decided to keep my piece and not send it back.
It holds water fine and doesn't leak. The taps works fine. However, the metal ring that is at the top of the glass-bottle isn't perfectly sealed. This is only troublesome when you wash your piece as water and soap can be left inside the ring if you are not careful. It can then leave a bad taste if not removed.
The fountain is apparantly ONLY made for pouring water and can not be used to keep any strong beverages like an ordinary glass fountain for bowl-drinks, whisky and such. The white material in the bottom, used to seal the glass-container, will leave a terrible taste if you fill up your fountain with any alcohol or water containing acids from lemons or limes. I think this should be more clear in the decryption of the product as I imagine a lot of customers might like to use the fountain for stronger liquids than water from time to time.
Overall a beautiful piece that works perfectly dripping water into your glass of absinthe. But not top craftsmanship and somewhat difficult to clean. Works for water only.
By Hans in GothenburgAdded on the : 04/09/2014 English
Oh I love this Fountain - and my friend too. I was so impressed of its sturdy but elegant appearance and it has served us well.
However – recently I noticed the sad fact that a vertical crack from top to bottom has appeared in the glass-container. I am sure that it has not been knocked or dropped, and I have sure been treating it soft and nicely. So it must be that it is simply the fact of ice-water inside and party atmosphere outside the glass that has caused too much tension. Or if there was some tension built in the fitting of the glass.
It is still possible to use the fountain. But it doesn't look so nice as it did. Is it possible to obtain a spare glass? And in that case, how tricky would it be to change it?
All the Best! Hans

My son and I just went on a short 'Hemmingwayesque' trip to Paris, following all his old haunts etc. and went to La Fee Verte restaurant where they serve absinthe in the authentic way. It was such a great ritual and experience, I couldn't resist buying him this (well a whole kit really) and he loves it! Came very well packaged and exceeded my expectations.
By RomanAdded on the : 09/01/2014 English
This fountain I bought is absolutely fantastic! It looks really good on my antic board and it gives a feeling of taste and somehow brings back the "old times" when you look at it. Beautiful design!!!! Greetings to everyone from Helsinki, Finland :)

Lokki puuvillakangas white, black
Maija Isola´s Lokki is one of Marimekko´s most iconic fabrics. The idea came to the artist when she was looking at a window with a curtain drawn across it: the broad folds formed wavelike shadows in the sunshine. Isola executed the final sketch by cutting colour paper with scissors, which gave the waves the trademark living lines evident in the printed fabric.
