"Great Schools-Desirable location"
Across the street from one of Evergreen's most popular and beautiful Open Space Parks, this neighborhood is equestrian-based with rolling hills, barns and bigger lots, starry-nights, yet only 15 minutes to I70.The Aldefer family homestead is still the jewel in the crown of Three Sisters Open Space and Evergreen Chamber Orchestra performs on the grounds often.
- Quiet
- 100s of acres of Open Space all around you
- Nightlife is Sitting on the Porch watching the Stars
- Lots of visitors to the park
Ryan I would say that the "Nightlife is Sitting on the Porch watching the Stars" is a MAJOR PRO, not a con! :) But that's just me. Sounds like a beautiful spot!

Ben & Jerry's Social Spooning
If you're on Facebook, are single, and enjoy throwing back a carton or three of Cherry Garcia on top of some Chunky Monkey every once in a while (as single people tend to do), this might have you drooling in more ways than one.
A new social media campaign from ice-cream barons Ben & Jerry's is urging their Facebook fans to get to know their online friends a little more intimately, and to do so, the company has launched an application dubbed "Wanna spoon?"
Essentially, the app matches current Facebook friends based on compatible movies, music, interests and so on. When a "spooning" partner is found (someone with several similarities), a post appears on their wall under your name reading "Using a fancy algorithm, Ben & Jerry's decided we'd make great spooning partners." The recipient is then urged to click and see why, and is led to find a coupon for the company's new Greek Frozen Yogurt.
The app was designed by Amalgamated along with Tool of North America, however the tagline "Wanna spoon?" is from the consistently quirky branding work of Unilever. We think idea is cute, and it's definitely a clever, brand-appropriate way to expose the Ben & Jerry's name, and let's admit it, there's nothing more charming than a wall post from that guy at work asking you out for Greek Frozen Yogurt.
For a full interactive, Ben & Jerry's released a video explaining how the app works in detail, which can be seen below.
Just remember, spooning leads to forking.

Alcvin returned to Japan in 1998 to deepen his studies and in 2001, he received his Shihan (master) license from one of greatest shakuhachi masters, Katsuya Yokoyama. In November of 2008, Alcvin received his Dai Shihan (grand master) license from another one of Japan's greatest players and teachers, Yoshinobu Taniguchi, taking the new name, "Ryuzen" (Dragon Meditation) making him the first Canadian and one of only a handful of non-Japanese to receive this esteemed honor.
Today Ramos lives in Canada, where he is the director of the Bamboo-In, a shakuhachi retreat centre. Every November, Ramos takes his students to Japan where they harvest bamboo for making shakuhachi and visit sacred places around the country in order to deepen their experience of the instrument.
Alcvin maintains an active schedule of shakuhachi teaching and performances internationally.
The shakuhachi has evolved from a thin piece of bamboo to highly refined instruments of great aesthetic beauty and sonic strength with plaster/lacquered bores to large, raw bored, long flutes that are very dramatic, complex, and earthy in tone.
Alcvin is a master Shakuhachi player and the flute's delicate dulcet sounds create the perfect atmosphere for any Japanese themed event.

The seeds of Grassroots Arts Initiative were sown when we came together to organize new arts events for people of all ages and skill levels. Events that celebrate the artist in all of us!
Our goal is to encourage art in our everyday lives. We are all busy, filling our days with school, jobs, family and other responsibilities. But we also recognize that feeding that creative spark is a vital part of life. Not everyone is an accomplished painter or sculptor, but we also know that there are unlimited ways to be creative – mediums not typically considered conventional forms of art.
We encourage the re-use of ordinary items or clothing into new and exciting creative endeavors. Imagination knows no bounds when creating art. Perhaps industrial items like pipes are made into lamps; or donated used clothing into designer outfits; or pallets into furniture. We look at cast-off items as something that still holds value. They can be made into something new and artistic and exciting.
Our motto is "growing art and artists" and we mean that in the truest sense. We want to grow art by expanding people's definition of art, and hold events to showcase the art around us. At the same time, we will grow artists by encouraging them in their creative efforts. We will be launching a scholarship program in 2017 to allow them to take their passion and fine-tune it.
We hope you'll join us on this exciting journey! Check our website, follow us on Facebook, and attend our events. We've planted the seeds, and with your help, Grassroots Arts Initiative will be able to encourage and foster artists now and in the future.
Who We are:
Mary Rettenmaier, President
Brent Earl, Vice President

Observers of international Anglican matters may have seen recent news of a fifth annual meeting of "Anglican Bishops in Dialogue" in Coventry, England, which is part of the larger project called "continuing indaba." The meeting issued a report titled "Testimony of Our Journey towards Reconciliation."
Here are five quick tips for GFCA members concerning this "dialogue."
Domination by manipulation. "Reconciling leadership does not dominate," the report says. This is untrue: it dominates by manipulation. "Dialogue" in Western circles is a well-established method, sometimes called the "Delphi Technique," by which the dominant party, employing expert "facilitators," sets the terms of the process and controls the reports in order to reach a pre-ordained result, in this case the acceptance of the Western sexual agenda. This method has been standard operating procedure of the Lambeth bureaucracy for decades. The Global South broke through the process twice: at the 1998 Lambeth Conference and the Primates Meeting of 2007 in Dar es Salaam. "Continuing indaba" attempts to restore the balance of power to the West.
Participants are pre-screened. Contrary to its claim that the dialogue is "grass-roots in origin," none of the participants, not even the primates involved, is elected by his own province. All of the participants are chosen by the Anglican Communion Office, including vulnerable or dissident bishops from GFCA churches.
Loyal GFCA bishops are not welcome. GFCA bishops "reject the authority of those churches and leaders who have denied the orthodox faith in word or deed" (Jerusalem Declaration §13). According to the recent "Anglican Bishops in Dialogue" report, "Reconciliation is possible only among those willing to be reconciled." Hence Global South participants must come to the table on neutral terms with bishops like Michael Ingham of Canada, who instituted same-sex marriage, defrocked Dr. James Packer, and has denied the exclusive claim of Christ as Saviour – or not come at all.
Follow the money trail. The major financiers of the dialogue come from The Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada, the two provinces that have approved homosexual bishops and same-sex marriage. Ask yourself: why would they sink money into a process that does not end up supporting their actions?
Forget about Lambeth I.10. Continuing indaba assumes the irrelevance of the 1998 Lambeth Resolution and the Primates' meetings because its goal is to nullify or overturn the principle that "homosexual practice [i]s incompatible with Scripture." The reports make no reference to the Resolution or the various Primates meetings.
"Continuing" indaba, continual meetings. The supreme irony of the "Bishops in Dialogue" reports is the sense that there was no good reason for the process in the first place. "Eschatological" love has made participants realize that "we are family" and that apparent differences are due to seeing through a glass darkly. It appears that they are reconciled already, a fact that will not bring an end to their "journey" of annual meetings, at least until Lambeth 2018.
Does Canterbury approve of this? Absolutely. In fact, continuing indaba has been the settled policy of the former and current Archbishops to undermine the GAFCON movement.

Pit Bulls Attack Chicago Jogger, Called 'Fighting Dogs'
"They knew what they wanted and their mission was to kill the man," Stanley Lee told Fox.com about the pit bulls that attacked Joseph Finley while he was jogging on the shoreline of Lake Michigan on January 2, 2012. Lee lives in an apartment overlooking Rainbow Beach Park and his heroic actions that morning undoubtedly saved Finley's life.
Joseph Finley is a 62-year-old sleep therapist who works nights at a hospital and regularly jogged around the shore of the lake in the mornings to unwind. He is still hospitalized after surgery for severe wounds during the relentless mauling by the two large pit bulls. He was at first given only a 50% chance of survival, reported the Chicago Sun Times.
His brother, Gregory Finley, spoke at a news conference at John H. Stroger Hospital in Cook County and stated doctors are now saying that Joseph will live. The victim had not yet been able to talk about the attack because of the tubes in his throat, but he was cognizant of what had happened to him. He was bitten over his entire body, including his face, arms and legs. "His injuries were extreme," especially to his left leg, Gregory Finley said, "One of the doctors told me it was one of the worst attacks he'd ever seen."
On Monday morning, January 2, at the time of the incident, Stanley Lee, a 35-year-old construction worker, opened his apartment window and saw the two 70-pound pit bulls had Joseph Finley pinned to the ground and were viciously ripping his flesh. "He was saying, 'Help me, help me,'" Lee said.
Lee grabbed a wooden baseball bat and ran out to try to chase the dogs away. He hit the pit bulls repeatedly with the bat, to no avail. Witnesses said the attack went on for about 30 minutes before the police arrived "They just wouldn't let the man go," said Lee. Officers had to shoot the animals because they charged them when they tried to help Finley. http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/9795660-418/doctors-say-pit-bull-victim-will-survive.html
Jimmy Johnson, the owner of the dogs, lives nearby on South Coles Avenue, and came forward. He said the deceased pit bulls were named Uno and Bullet and both were unneutered males. Johnson was cited for not properly restraining the dogs and not having dog licenses--but was not criminally charged. Chicago Animal Care & Control officials said it appeared the dogs escaped through an open gate.
Johnson's neighbor, Valentino Jackson, told CBS, the pit bulls were "innocent little puppies" but when they grew older "they learned their evil side." He added, "We couldn't even take out our trash without them coming at us."
Stanley Lee told Fox Chicago in an interview after the attack, "They was fighting dogs and that's what they do. They knew what they wanted and their mission was to kill the man. Normal dogs wouldn't do that. Stray dogs would never act like that." Pit Bulls Attack, Critically Injure Jogger in Rainbow Beach Park: MyFoxCHICAGO.com )
Chicago Police spokesman Robert Perez told the Sun Times that his department attempted to get upgraded charges, but prosecutors believed there was not enough evidence to determine that the dog owner's actions were intentional. Officer Perez said that Johnson is scheduled to appear for an administrative court hearing in March.
"They must be held accountable," Gregory Finley, Joseph's brother, told the Chicago Tribune. "These two dogs almost killed my brother."
Chicago Alderman Robert Fioretti (2nd) called for the City Council to revisit stricter laws governing ownership of the controversial breed within city limits. He told CBS Chicago he has heard "nothing but bad" results from the ownership of pit bulls throughout the city and the time has come to "take a good hard look" at whether Chicagoans should be banned from owning the breed altogether when it reconvenes on January 18.

What a great adventure. It's got intrigue, battles, chariot races, airship battles and thrilling action sequence. The interior art is a bit lacking compared to the quality of the cover but certainly conveys the writer's ideas real well.
Sky-Tyrant of MARS is an adventure double entendre for Savage Worlds MARS setting by Adamant Entertainment. The cover evokes Frazetta and the content wonderfully fulfills it's pulp Planetary Romance mission. The Adventure is well written, very nicely illustrated, and thorough.
I give Adamant high marks including pregens, creatures (with illustrations), and characters in their very useful 6 page appendix.
Note: I'm a sucker for airships, chariot races on the ground or air, and lots of combat! The variety of encounters is extensive and fun. PCs jump directly into a chariot race. It might be time to use the new Savage Worlds Deluxe chase rules.
Note: Part of this review was excerpted from a review on Adamant's MARS setting and three of it's adventures found on Tales From the Savage Troll - rptroll dot blogspot dot com
This is my favourite out of Adamant's latest releases. Sky-Tyrant requires only the Savage Worlds main rules to play (in my case that's the Explorer's Edition) - so it's a good purchase if you're "just curious" about the MARS Savage world setting, and are not ready to commit to buying the main rules book.
Its scenes rush forward into each other with the excitement of Star Wars or Indiana Jones. Pre-generated characters also help greatly in implementing the setting, which is just about generic enough to not require the core settings book. This adventure jumps from straight-forward encounter survival to being part of politics (but still with action). Sky-Tyrant is for the more "cinematic" action favouring players. The accessibility of the scenario means that it is also perfect for conversion to other systems (or maybe different settings). Summary: Fast-action pure-pulp sci-fantasy, awesome!

'The smell from sewer was so bad my wife fainted and broke her nose'
A man whose wife fainted and broke her nose "due to stress" of sewerage problems at their home fears the issue is not solved.
Former truck driver Eugene Best, who lives in Convent Lawns, Ballyfermot, said that the smell in his house was so bad that his wife Eileen fainted and broke her nose earlier this week.
Mrs Best went to the doctor on Monday after she fell.
"The doctor said it was because of all the stress we've been under and all that," he said.
"I know it's going to happen again."
Dublin City Council (DCC) workers went to the home on Monday to investigate the sewerage problems at the property.
The gully drains at the back of his house were blocked with sewage for over a week. The drains have since cleared.
However, for a week and a half the house was overwhelmed with the smell of sewage from drains around the house.
The sewage overflowed into the back garden.
The family have been living in their council home since 1998 and the same problems have continually cropped up, Mr Best claimed.
He said the sewage has been coming up the drains and sinks about "two or three times a year" and now fears this will continue to happen.
Mr Best, who suffers from emphysema, says he had to "spend a fortune" on cleaning products to mask the smell coming up the drains.
He said he had complained several times to DCC about the problems at his home and he fears the issue poses a health risk to both him and his family.
There are also drains at the front of the house and the pungent smell even got into the family car which was parked outside the premises.
Mr Best described the smell inside his car as being "disgusting".
When asked for comment DCC said: "The matter is being investigated by the city council engineers."

Fall's Fading Beauty
The first is in our back yard. The deer have been enjoying the last remnants of our hostas. This is a mother and her two yearlings. She is lame in her right front leg and has been visiting the yard the past 3 years. We call her Limpy. Her limp doesn't prevent her from a fast run, however. I love how the light streamed thru the trees in this one.
And finally, what is prettier than white sheets blowing in the breeze on a crisp fall day? They smelled so so good when I brought them in. They went right on the beds for our next wave of houseguests. Lately we have been running a bed and breakfast, but no problem. DH and I enjoy it. We really enjoyed our last guests, two families with young children visiting at the same time. Yeah, things were everywhere, but the kids had a ball and so did the adults. They made forts under the ancient hemlocks, climbed trees, gave us a puppet show they all worked on for a few hours, and helped cook a lot. The adults and kids enjoyed a bonfire out on the river with some good wine and cheeses while they tossed rocks in. It was quality time. Wednesday our next group arrives and now that we have had a day or so to rest up we are looking forward to it. By early next week we should be all quiet again with more crispy clean sheets on the bed for the holiday round of visitors.
I don't have any close by sewing friends. One of our houseguests this weekend can't sew a button but she has been cross stitching since the age of 15 and is now in her 40's. Her work is fabulous and she specialized in primitive and sampler design. She has a great eye. She and I went through my stash of buttons and also played with the trims for the CJ. Her imput was terrific. We both agreed on a different path for the buttons and trim and I will have more on that later. I will just say that now I am finally very happy with my choices. Isn't it great to have another set of eyes? eyes that can understand? When we visit her in the upcoming months she is going to take me to a cross stitch shop in the Syracuse area where I can buy my heart out on over dyed threads and such for my smocking and embroidery. I am so looking forward to it. I wish I had a picture of her work to show you...Bunny

Absolutely beautiful photos. A feast for the eyes for this autumn-challenged California girl. Thank you!ReplyDelete
Gorgeous river, gorgeous sheets in the wind, and especially gorgeous interior shot. Thanks for the beautiful post this morning.ReplyDelete
Agreed. It is like that here, too, even more so in the Whites, where most of the trees have lost their leaves and there's already rime ice and frost on the highest peaks.ReplyDelete
Thanks for these beautiful pictures. It's getting cooler here too, but frost will (hopefully) still some time away.ReplyDelete
What beautiful pictures - I especially love the deers - looks like paradise. Windows - from that distance, they look like pictures on a white wall.ReplyDelete
I enjoyed the beautiful photos of your environment. Oh, how I would love to have large unadorned windows like that with views like that. Looking forward to what you & your friend dreamed up for your CJ.ReplyDelete
There is nothing like the Adirondacks in the Fall!! Love the pic with the deer.ReplyDelete
I was up in your neck of the woods two weeks ago visiting Lake Placid while DH had a conference. Needed to pick up some sock yarn at Adirondack Yarns!
Looking forward to seeing your CJ complete. I haven't moved too fast on mine; muslin was taken apart but didn't get to cutting into the fabric, etc. Working on the Lady Grey SAL right now.
TTFN...enjoy the weather.
Loved hearing about "Limpy" When we were in Yellowstone saw a limpy doe, and worried about her making it through the winter. We really thought she had escaped a wolf or bear attack. Glad your limpy makes it. The trees are gorgeous and love your open windows. I live in the middle of a city & my windows are the same - open to let all the light in.ReplyDelete
Bunny, thank you so much for the beautiful fall pictures. Because I lost my sister in the fall I stopped seeing the beauty of the season. I know can see all the colors and know that we must all go through a fall in our lives but it's a good thing.ReplyDelete
What lovely views you have! Here in suburban So Cal we have maples whose leaves turn brown and drop - no lovely colors. No deer, only a few rabbits and coyotes, but we do have fun watching the birds. Great job with the windows.ReplyDelete

In Depth Review Generic Mini 1 X 30 Belt Sander 3400 Rpm
In depth review generic mini 1 x 30 belt sander 3400 rpm is post about Reviews bookmarked by harvey with ID 11683326114 was uploaded on 28-03-2019 and has been viewed 255,436 times.
The Generic Mini belt sander is a motorized sander that lets you sand, grind, polish and finish without the fuss.This standalone sander is simple and does not have any other complicated functions.It has an easy removable system and belt guard that will let you change sanding belts with ease.
Sanding is a very important part of finishing any kind of woodworking.Sanding makes jobs polished and perfect.But you need an efficient sander to do the job; something that manual sanding will never be able to do.
The Generic Mini 1 x 30 belt sander has a powerful motor that lets you work on projects seamlessly and effortlessly.No need to sand manually just to get that perfect polished finish.The motor works well even under tough sanding, grinding and polishing jobs and of course it will also work twice as hard in removing paint and in sharpening tools.
This sander even has a dust port to easily and even automatically remove dust and dirt as you work.You will easily save time and effort cleaning afterwards.I would like to share what I think about this belt sander and how my DIY and woodworking hobby became a huge success after I switched from manual sanding to the Generic Mini belt sander.
I would like to share my personal knowledge and hope to inspire people who are looking for an efficient and affordable belt sander...

How a ride request to the suburbs became a "Murphy's Law" pain in the neck for my riders
Admittedly, not all drivers are going after the bonuses that the companies offer us. At the time of this writing (July 2017) Lyft has static weekly bonuses that do not change. Uber's bonuses change twice weekly. Without getting into all the details, I was near an important bonus at 2:00am on Sunday morning. In that mode of slight desperation, a driver takes every ping that comes their way as they must keep a 90% acceptance rate.
My surgeless-ping brings me near the corner of Wells and Division, an area that is full of night life. Further, I was driving an XL/Plus eligible vehicle but still get regular, less financially lucrative requests. Its a regular ride (not XL/Plus ride with a mandatory 1.5x multiplier), I wait nearly the entire 5 minutes (note: this is inconsiderate behavior) as the map begins to surge, and immediately regret not cancelling the ride.
Two dudes, and two females get in and two of them determine that they need to sit in the way back without my assistance. Putting the seat down so a rider can enter the back-backseat is a two-part process that few riders can comprehend while inebriated, and choose the most logical alternative which is to just step all over my seats and head rests. That's what these riders did, stomped all over my seats and head rests, against my verbal warning.
The guy in the front seat promptly passes out with his forehead resting on the passenger airbag release area.
Before I even get to the first stop sign a female in the seat immediately behind me makes a verbal demand.
Female1 rider: Can you give me the Aux cord?
Driver: Sorry, I don't carry an Aux cord. Is there something wrong with the Blues?
Female1 rider: Why not? I like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and… (other bands that I don't care to remember. Blah blah, music, Aux cord)
Driver: (muttered excruciating slow) Its. A. Choice. I don't carry, an Aux cord.
At this point I mention that I run Pandora. So I throw on the Chief Keef Pandora station, which as you might well imagine is a platinum-level hit with many riders whom have successfully steered me away from the Chicago Blues Pandora station… Not even one (1) minute into the song and she has something to say-
Female1 rider: This is the worst (I've ever heard. Blah blah, I like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, blah blah)
So then I amend the selection to the 1980's Pop Pandora station. The riders begin to sing with some of the songs, but Female1 rider is pressing for the Red Hot Chili Peppers (and other bands that I don't care to remember). The passive aggression was unrelenting. I had already been driving for about 8 hours and had now made the final determination that this was my last ride of my night: the suburbs have little if any demand after 10:00pm, and a deadhead ride back to civilization will be a minimum of 16 minutes.
The comatose rider in my front seat made a couple of concerning grumbling sounds which had me fantasizing about pushing him out of my car on the Eisenhower Expressway. Female Rider2 in the way back is talking on her phone endlessly about all the relationship gossip that most males would bristle at.
This had quickly turned into a one-star ride based on the amount of undue stress the riders were causing me:
- Dislike the vehicle atmosphere that I carefully procure
- Possible puker next to me
- Passive agressiveness
- Gas guzzling vehicle on a long suburban trip down I-290
Finally we exit the expressway, but we still have 9 minutes of suburban back-roads to traverse before their drop-point.
"I Ran" from Flock of Seagulls briefly cheered me up and moments later we finally arrived at the destination.
Three (3) of the passengers exit my vehicle from the back and the dead human next to my was still headbutt into my dashboard with no sign of life. Per the various conversations occurring in my vehicle, he had a flight to make in just a few hours.
The other male says he's going to handle him, and after negotiation and cajoling by the conscious male passenger, he finally gets the dead guy on his wobbly feet only to walk in the opposite direction of his apartment complex toward a characterless parking lot. I check the back seat for belongings and proceed to exit this suburb which was lifeless and devoid of energy.
Driver thoughts: [Great. 1-Star Rating. Its over. Great. Time to drive home and sleep.]
Not even 5 minutes into the drive home I start to hear a noise in the back seat that I immediately recognized as a cell phone ringtone. And *I laughed to myself*– Aux cord, passive aggression, threat of vomit… I will not be stopping my vehicle to investigate the ringtone. It must have went off seven (7) times during my drive back home.
Dear reader, when a rider leaves something in our car, we as drivers are given wide latitude on how to return it. One advertised method is to get a mailing package sent to us, I put the item in the package, and then mail the package- I am thinking that method would take a minimum of four (4) business days to complete.
After arriving in my garage, I notified the rideshare company of the phone that was left in my vehicle. Dropped the phone in a ziplock bag and put it on my porch and emailed instructions to the rideshare company on how the errant rider should retrieve her property from under my door mat.
Without complete information this situation might not seem so bad to you. But how would you feel (as a suburbanite) about driving into one of the most dangerous and violent neighborhoods in Chicago to retrieve your property? A neighborhood that you talk about avoiding in platitudes with your friends, and never visit?
This could all have been avoided if the riders listened to me when I asked them not to sit in the way back of my vehicle. When I scanned my backseat, I would have seen the mobile phone at their destination and alerted my passengers to my finding their mobile phone- however, the way back of my vehicle was not within my view.
Would I have delivered the phone back to the riders that night before driving home? It is a real possibility! The previous month I delivered a purse to a rider's hotel, just before 2:00a.m. In that instance I received a thank you from the rideshare company the next day. As drivers, we are not required to stop working, or what we are doing, to deliver your property back to you, should you leave it in our vehicle.
Murphy's Law is defined as: Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong. You'll lose your phone, and you'll have to retrieve it within a run-down, crime-ridden neighborhood, deep in Chicago's west side which has seen little outside investment since the white-flight of the 1960s.
Moral of this story: be on your best behavior in your driver's vehicle.

Sawdust and Dirt
A pottery blog by NC potter Michael Kline
I Forgot
Sam and young Mason
I wanted to send a shout out to my man, Sam Taylor on his birthday yesterday, but somehow the day slipped away.
So a day late, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sam!
Also I found a little cup while packing/unpacking my studio yesterday.
[sorry for the poor photo]
It was the first pot that I made on my fateful return to work (1/3/06) after my accident 3 years ago. It was quite a coincidence.
I've spent part of yesterday digging the ends of the trench for electrical service and I have been digging lots of dirt. It's nice stuff!
Here is our friend's daughter, Hattie, sporting an appropriate message. Maybe a good T shirt for blog fan's.

Female consciousness in contemporary Chinese women's writing

Contemporary Chinese women writers re-emerged after the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976). This thesis investigates a selection of stories by Chinese women writers published between 1979 and the end of 1990s. The investigation argues for an oppositional female consciousness and endeavours to demonstrate its various expressions in women writers' texts, covering such themes as love, family, career, intellectuals, working class, the female self, and social manners. Apart from the thematic concerns of female consciousness, the thesis also explores its expressions in unconventional narrative styles of representative women writers' texts. In conclusion, the thesis points out that female consciousness provided women writers, who live as women, a vantage-point from which they may view the self as well as others and society. In so doing, they write differently (from their male peers) and subversively.

Today started well enough with a very early morning walk down the strip and back, but I've struggled through the late morning and early afternoon. Part of the issue is my jet lag compounded with my usual abnormal hours. I was up before 1am, so I feel off and like the day is dragging. This difficulty pales in comparison to the fact that I spiked a bad fever and an infection in a wound that I incurred before the trip. After resting in my room and reading for a while this morning, I noticed I was unduly weak and overcome with malaise. It's a frequent problem that I overlook fevers and fail to understand why I feel so poorly. Today was one of those days.
First, in addition to the weakness and overall pain, I noticed I was tearful and really homesick. Then, I checked my wound site and noticed the skin was so turgid, red, and swollen, it looked like that area would burst. So, in addition to all the sights I've seen on the strip, I visited urgent care, thanks to an Uber ride, which normally sends my trauma brain into a panic, concerned for a lack of vetted and guaranteed safety, but being in such desperate need of rapid help in the absence of self-powered locomotion, that the situation necessitated the ride. For better or for worse, I was too stressed about my health and visiting an unfamiliar medical facility to worry excessively about the driver while in the car. I tipped well for delivering me safely and not raping me (ugh, when will my brain heal?!), and then engaged in some interesting waiting room people watching while I fretted over my infection and meeting the doctor.
Although an unpleasant experience, it went alright considering, and, armed with an antibiotic prescription, I headed to the nearest pharmacy.
To recuperate from that drama and give my body a chance to fight the infection, now I'm just resting in my room, trying not to cry. Again, I think this is an instance where tremendous physical pain is leeching into the emotional realm and magnifying the intensity of the overall pain. I'll be okay, yet it's obviously not ideal. It seems like a good opportunity to practice my resolve to work on barricading my emotions and mental place from any tainting or negative spillover from physical discomfort. Of course, this is easier said than done, but I'm taking deep breaths, thinking positive thoughts, listing things I'm grateful for, and distracting myself to the best of my ability in a foreign hotel room isolated from anyone and anything I know. Tomorrow will be better: the antibiotic should kick in, the pain will become more manageable, the programming will start, I'll be one day closer to returning home, and I'll be one day stronger.

I am sick of individualistic mindsets. Being a person who loves to travel I have encountered many different personalities and people with whom I've been able to get along, as well as people who I just can't stand. After a long time of trying to analyze why I felt so overwhelmed in my work environment I realized that I can't stand individualistic mindsets, and that I am constantly surrounded by them. People who have individualistic mindsets only care about themselves and their own well-being, but the problem does not stop there. Individualistic people usually care about themselves and have a constant desire to be better than others. I struggle with the idea of people not wanting to support me just because they do not want me to succeed. I am overwhelmed by the amount of jealousy that people around me show, and I don't mean it only towards me, but towards everybody else.
I see the start of this issue in my students, they are taught by other people to always be better than someone else. "You need to make a 100", "You need to beat the others", "If you get a higher grade I will give you some candy". But WHY? I'M TIRED OF LISTENING TO THIS AND SEE THE AMOUNT OF STRESS MY STUDENTS GO THROUGH. One of them gave me a bracelet two days ago, and the bracelet said "Compete EVERYday", I had never disagreed more with a quote.
Being a type A person, I grew up thinking that it was all about being the best and competing with other people. Oh man, was I wrong. For most part of my life, I was blindsided by competition and by the falseness of "success". I still remember the first speech contest that I lost, and I remember crying in the bathroom because I felt less than others, because I was defeated. Something was wrong with my mindset, because IM NOT ANYBODY ELSE, I'M MYSELF. I allowed other people to tell me I was not good enough, but guess what? I am, we all are.
The next year after my defeat I was hesitating wether I should compete or not, my self-esteem was destroyed, but I loved poetry. That year I made a commitment to myself to be a better version of ME. That year I was not trying to beat anyone, I was trying to be a better Alejandra. I wanted to feel my poem, to share it with others and hopefully help someone through my words. The result was successful, I did not win, I lost for the second time, but I won something much bigger. I earned love to myself, I understood that by focusing on others successes and abilities, I was missing out on mine. I was so concentrated on beating others that I forgot about my own passions…
Spanish translation coming up tonight…

Thanks readers, for your support and comments!! I really love following up on the latest trends. Today, while browsing through some websites, I saw a few which had a common element. Yes, Rainbows! If used carefully, Rainbows can give a cool look and feel to your website. Though I couldn't find many, I have gathered as much as I could.
But the question remains unanswered. Does the use of Rainbows mark the beginning of a new trend? We can't confirm until we get to see more similar designs. So please share your link if you find one that is particularly good.

On the market for an iPhone? Here's a breakdown of all the currently shipping iPhones from Apple.
Apple Says iMessage Interception Would Require Re-Engineering Systems, Has No Interest in Doing So
In a statement to AllThingsD, Apple once again denies that it can read iMessages, noting that it would require the service's systems to be re-engineered and that the company has no interest in doing so.
Apple says that QuarksLab's theory is just that — a theory, and one that would require a rearchitecting of iMessage for it ever to be a threat in the real world.Apple's statement does not actually refute the original claim, simply confirming that as the service is currently configured it is impossible for Apple to intercept iMessages. The researchers' argument rests on the observation that changes could be made to Apple's systems to allow for iMessages to be intercepted without users being aware of the changes.
"iMessage is not architected to allow Apple to read messages," said Apple spokeswoman Trudy Muller said in a statement to AllThingsD. "The research discussed theoretical vulnerabilities that would require Apple to re-engineer the iMessage system to exploit it, and Apple has no plans or intentions to do so."
The result is that Apple is arguing users should trust that the company has no interest in making such changes, and if users take Apple at its word, the researchers' concerns remain merely theoretical. But some users may remained concerned that Apple could be quietly compelled to make changes by government security agencies, compromising Apple's touted "secure end-to-end encryption" for iMessage.

Personally, I don't care if an Apple employee knows that I'm iMessaging my wife that I'm on my way home from work.
Why this Apple-centric bashing?
Facebook employes can read your posts, Citibank employees can see your bank transactions, Google employees can know what all your searches are.
This is no less secure than anything else done on the internet.
Ah, the dreaded message read by some mystery organization! LMAO! Oh how people love drama! My belief is that, if you are doing nothing wrong, then you have nothing to worry about.
There is always a simple retort to a statement like this from the "Nothing to hide" brigade.
Do you have curtains in your home?
At least it's not Google!
Once again... APPLE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU, JUST YOUR MONEY. They don't care about your texts. Obviously there is some way that they can view, but you'll never know. They can easily lie to you.
I think Apple truly does care about our security. Look at all the trouble Apple went to for storing Touch ID fingerprints in ARM's Secure Enclave. Do you think HTC does that with there new HTC ONE with fingerprint slide recognition? To act like AAPL does not make a real attempt to protect our information is wrong. Do you see ads in your Apple email? Meanwhile GOOG will whore out your information as fast as they can and throw ads constantly in your face (even more aggressively now, due to the lowering profit margins from ads).
There is always a simple retort to a statement like this from the "Nothing to hide" brigade.
Do you have curtains in your home?
No. And I clean house in the nude. I have nothing to hide and am not worthy of being monitored.

that is the problem. people like you who say that "i don't care if they know..." or "let them, i've got nothing to hide" are throwing everybody's privacy away

View this article at The Weekly Standard
A FLURRY OF PUBLICITY about the supposed revelations in Roger Morris's Partners in Power: The Clintons and Their America has obscured what the book really is. To be sure, Morris gives us some anonymous ex-spooks who claim young Bill Clinton was passing information to the CIA during his notorious trip to Moscow, and still more people who anonymously confirm that Hillary Clinton and Vince Foster were long-time lovers, and others who are certain Gov. Clinton was up to his nostrils in cocaine, as well as in the drug-smuggling and gun-running out of Mena airport in rural Arkansas. But Partners in Power (Holt, 526 pages, $ 27.50) is chiefly and simply a viciously doctrinaire attack on Bill and Hillary Clinton — and the American political system Morris portrays them as exemplifying — from the farther-out provinces of the ideological Left.
The book is cast as a dual biography of Bill and Hillary. Five tedious chapters on him and two on her take us to their meeting at Yale Law School. Morris's biographical skills are best captured in his use of a quotation from Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman to illuminate the world of Bill Clinton's father, Bill Blythe. Yes, Blythe was a salesman, but surely the father of a future president of the United States deserves better than to have his brief life refracted clichds: "He's a man out there in the blue, riding on a smile and a shoeshine. . . . It goes with the territory."
The book picks up a bit when it takes us to the ambitious young Bill's first campaign for office, a failed 1974 bid for a U.S. House seat that nonetheless established him as an up-and-comer in the world of Arkansas Democratic politics. As Hillary Rodham gradually abandoned her own youthful brush with idealism and even her maiden name, Bill frenetically scaled the political heights, first as attorney general and then in 1978 as the second- youngest governor in the state's history. Turned out after a single term, he quickly regrouped, presenting himself as having learned from his past failure to listen to the people — even though neither he nor his wife, in Morris's telling, had much more than contempt for ordinary Arkansans. Through a combination of sheer political skill and the ability to posture as a reformer while quietly accommodating the interests of his powerful allies, he set in motion a remarkable political journey that would take him to the White House ten years later.
And all along the way, both he and she had rich and powerful patrons who would finance his political career and line their pocketbooks — in exchange, perhaps explicitly, perhaps in the manner of a nod and a wink, for an Arkansas state government that would look after their interests. Morris retells the stories of the Whitewater partnership and the other, even more lucrative benefits of association with James and Susan McDougal and their free-wheeling savings and loan. He plows as well through Hillary's special relationship with James Blair, who helped her make $ 100,000 in commodities trades. And he reviews the myriad other Arkansas interests and financial institutions that greased the skids of Bill's career.
Most of these tales are well known. Morris also ventures into less well- charted territory, such as the much-mythologized airport at Mena, but with considerably less success. The interviews he himself conducted have yielded mostly speculation and inference — as well as a wealth of anonymous offense- taking at the actions of the Clintons — rather than new information. Even the much-ballyhooed CIA connection ends up rather vaporous, with some of those unnamed covert-ops sources only speaking of the CIA's use of American students abroad in the vaguest terms, not specifically in relation to Clinton. Morris himself doesn't seem fully persuaded.
Still, the real action in Partners in Power lies not so much in the biography as in the juxtaposition of the Clintons' lives in Arkansas with the broad changes Morris detects in the political culture of Washington. Oh, what a wretched place this Washington has become, a city in which moneyed interests work the hidden levers of a vast political system to their own financial advantage and to the detriment of the voiceless, the poor and the powerless, whose fundamental decency and dignity are forever being crushed under the boot of their oppressors. The rhetoric here comes straight out of Snoopy's peerlessly awful novel, the one that begins, "It was a dark and stormy night. . . . While millions of people were starving, the king lived in luxury." Or, as Morris actually does say, "There were waiting lists at the most fashionable restaurants and long lines of the hungry at shelters and soup kitchens."
In the world according to Morris (here he parts company with Snoopy), the economy is in decline, the middle class is disintegrating, the ranks of the poor are swelling, and it is no accident. It is due to the "growing convergence" of the two political parties, the merger of the increasingly right-wing Democrats with the always "reactionary" Republicans "in the service of privilege," the interests of their rich if little-known masters. Perhaps there was a better, nobler time for the Democrats. But the world of the 1990s is one JFK would never recognize, characterized as it is by the Democratic party's "surrender to the orthodoxy of vested interests."
The point is that Bill and Hillary Clinton and their indifference to the little people — ranging from dirt-poor blacks in Arkansas to the vulnerable objects of Bill's amorous intentions — are of a piece with the corrupt American political system as a whole. There stand we all in dire straits, unless we are somehow able to purify our politics of the corruption of moneyed interests.
Morris, whose biggest claim to fame has been his resignation from the Kissinger-led National Security Council staff in protest over the course of the Vietnam war, remains thoroughly steeped in New Left politics. He even takes occasion to protest the "two great myths" that took hold following the crushing defeat of George McGovern in 1972. The first was the idea that " McGovern's campaign represented an aberrant radicalism in American politics," when in fact his followers were actually rather conservative. The second was that the Nixon victory meant that "voters had turned in some vast, consciously reactionary tide toward historical reversal of the New Deal."
Morris's essential problem is that the people in whose name he purports to speak don't agree with him. Therefore, they must have been oppressed or silenced, and they must be afraid and powerless. After all, that's really the only way a reactionary minority could capture the GOP from its moderate elements and exploit low voter turnout to wrest control of a system that Democrats had cravenly given in to anyway.
This is loony. It almost makes one feel sorry for the Clintons, cast here as the embodiment of a thoroughly corrupt political system. If Roger Morris is attacking you, how bad can you be?
The answer is: pretty bad. And that is precisely what the thesis of this book ultimately obscures. Notwithstanding Roger Morris's rich conspiratorial imagination — he seems pretty sure the CIA set up Gary Hart's exposure as a philanderer in 1987, for example — not all political institutions and not all politicians are equally corrupt. The Clintons aren't just the same as everybody else. Even Partners in Power manages, if inadvertently, to show the ways in which they are worse.

THE HAGUE (Reuters) - Britain's ambassador to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons said on Tuesday Russia had failed to declare its full stockpile of nerve agents to the international body.
Peter Wilson told reporters that Russia, which says it destroyed all its chemical weapons under OPCW supervision last year, has in fact "failed for many years" to fully disclose its chemical weapons program.
Wilson repeated assertions by the British government that Russia was "implicated" in the attack last week on a former spy in Britain, and demanded that Moscow now declare its undisclosed program.
The British government says the former spy and his daughter were attacked in Salisbury with Novichok, a nerve agent first developed by the Soviet Union in the 70s and 80s.
Speaking to reporters after a meeting of the OPCW's governing council, Wilson said Russia will also have to tell the body how the substance managed to get to Britain from Russia.
In an address to the OPCW earlier, Wilson said the only possible explanations were that Russia had failed to keep control over its material, or had used toxic agents intentionally in the attack - the same reasoning set out by British Prime Minister Theresa May in parliament on Monday.
Earlier Tuesday, OPCW Director General Ahmet Uzumcu condemned the attack. It is not yet clear whether the organization, set up to prevent the use of chemical weapons and oversee the destruction of existing stockpiles, would investigate or take any other action.

THE third victim in the bodies-inbin-bags case was named as 34-year-old Bridgette Cathy Mac-Clennan yesterday as a man appeared in court charged with the three murders.
Unemployed Anthony John Hardy appeared at Hendon Magistrates' Court in north London charged with murdering Sally Rose White on or before January 20, 2002, and with murdering Elizabeth Valad, 29, and Miss MacClennan on or before December 30, 2002.
Parts of the dismembered remains of Miss MacClennan and Miss Valad, who both lived in London, were found in bin bags and rubbish bins in north London in the early hours of December 30.
Miss White's body was found at Hardy's address in January last year.
Hardy, 51, of Hartland House, Royal College Street, Camden, north London, who appeared in the dock clean-shaven and wearing dark trousers and a dark and light-blue sweatshirt, spoke only to confirm his name, age and address during the court hearing.
He had been driven to the court in an unmarked people-carrier and taken in through a rear entrance, his head covered by a blanket.
Chairman of the bench Giovanni Fabrizi remanded Hardy in custody to appear at the Old Bailey on January
Miss Valad, originally from Nottingham, was named on Saturday as one of the women whose body parts were found by a tramp foraging for food on Monday last week.
The 29-year-old, who was also known as Liz or Lizzy, was identified by her breast implants.
Miss MacClennan was originally from New Zealand but had been living in Camden, a spokesman for Scotland Yard said. Her exact address was not known and it was uncertain when she came to Britain.
Miss MacClennan was identified through her DNA, police said.

What Bit Me?
November 2nd, 2004
I went camping a week and a half ago (devil's river, south texas) and when I woke up the first morning, I had tons of bites on my ankles, and a few on my hands and legs. They did not itch and they were perfect circles, about a centimeter in diameter. They looked a little like chigger bites. The next morning, the red bumps faded in color and size and the next day they seemed almost gone. Now, they look and feel a little like fire ant bites and itch like crazy.
Does anyone have any ideas what this could be? It's driving me nuts b/c I used insect repellant and wore long sleeves and pants. No one else with me really had any bites.
Thanks for your help....Any thoughts are appreciated.

Hi Brooke. It is a pretty old letter, but I think the bites were sandflys. Not the gnat or noseeums type, but like the Australian one. My husband and I were told to look out for sandflys on the beaches in WA, but we did not see any flies, only a tiny tiny minute light brownish thing, we could only see because there were clouds of them.
In the evening we were covered in perfect circles, very red and about 1 cm in diameter. We were not worried as they did not itch....untill next day and the next 3 weeks. WE had more than 400 of these things which now looked like giant mosquito bites and itched 10 times more. We had to take antihistamines not to go crazy. Locals told us it was a sandfly and that it was not a bite but urine...I don't know if this is true. The upside is that they said to mix dettol and baby oil and rub it on your skin. This would prevent the bites or whatever it was. It did and was not as bad as the insect repellants you can buy.

The Ume Group School
Theatrical Clown: The Courage to be Honest (and Stupid)
2 Day Workshop with Actor Sean A. Mulvihill (The Exuberant Theatre Company) at the Ume Group
Day 1. Finding My Honest Stupid (Theatrical Clown Persona)
Day 2. My Honest Stupid at Play (Theatrical Clown Composition)
Learn the principles of theatrical clown (e.g. Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton) as well as composition techniques for creating clown routines.
The main principle of theatrical clown work is to live in "ambiguity." When a infant is observed, there is ambiguity, capriciousness, and unpredictability. The baby wants an object one moment then throws it aways. The baby laughs then cries for no visible reason. Sometimes the baby stares at a person without any indications of thought whatsoever.
The theatrical clown, like the baby, is an enigma, and fascinating to watch. The adult actor though, unlike the infant, has learned to repress capriciousness, impulsiveness, and ambiguity. The adult theatrical clown must learn to re-create this sensation of ambiguity through technique.
Day 1 will focus on discovering your clown persona through observation, games, and exercises. You will remove your veils of "I have it together" and "I'm the normal one" in order to reveal your clown self.
Day 2 will focus on how your clown persona interacts with objects, other people, and the world through composition exercises and performance.

Lots going on .. and then homeward bound .. and time to go back digging up the gravel. Made a lot of progress. Decided that putting down any kind of weed barrier is not worth the effort right now .. we'll be "properly" amending the parking area next year.
So, for now, I'll busy myself with moving the balance of the gravel mountain and the side path to the front and will simply shovel it around on the parking area. It will look nice and tidy.
Last night, I thought that I'd make up the nutritious sorrel soup. Gathered all the materials from the fridge. Sliced onions & potatoes in butter till they were translucent. Crisped up the bacon in the oven. Washed and chopped the sorrel. And the yellow beans. Added the beans and chicken broth to the frypan .. to let it cook for 20 minutes.
As I was adding the broth, I thought that the colour looked to be quite a bit darker than normal. Looked at the date on the package and it showed the expiry date to be 2012. So I ignored my initial feelings of throwing it away and cooked it anyway. Added the sorrel.
Soup was delicious, the sorrel added a light lemony taste. Yum, so good that I had a second bowl. After all, this is 90% broth and veggies.
A few hours later, I started to feel slightly ill .. and then prayed to the porcelain gods on and on through the night and into the morning.
I hadn't been sick like this for many years and just hated the whole process .. but there is no turning back when the gods get you.
Thought back to the chicken broth and realized that this must have been the culprit. Everything else was garden fresh and well washed.
And I realized that I "should" have paid attention to my initial doubt about the stock. Murphy, Murphy, Murphy .. is all I can say.
So now I'm missing out on an all day flying outing that we were going to do today .. but rather safe here at home than taking a chance being ill in the air. Argh.
Another reminder to pay attention to my initial feelings, trust them. Ok, ok, I've learned another version of this lesson!
On with my day …. am starting to feel so much better .. today is a day to do inside things. And no shovelling gravel. But, I will go outside and play in my lovely garden.
Positivity from the sun and happy viewing of the birds flitting about!

Help me turn my Windows dinosaur into a fast Linux machine!
At home, I have an old, slow computer running Windows 98, and a high-speed Internet connection. I would like to use that computer to telecommute to work once a week, but Win 98 is incompatible with my company's webmail program. A colleague suggested that Linux and Mozilla might be able to handle the challenge, but I don't know where to start. I know some things about computers, but as far as this goes I'm a newbie. Can you recommend a Linux distribution that will be easy (and free!) for me to download and install? Do you think this will solve my compatibility problem?
The problem you describe can be a nice starting point to make a switch to Linux. The question has two aspects:
- Will Mozilla solve my compatibility problem?
- Where can I find a free and easy-to-use desktop Linux system?
The second part of the question is the move to Linux. Also here, your friend is right-on! Windows 98 isn't officially supported any more, but Microsoft has been giving out some urgent patches until recently. So when it comes down to security, you do have a problem waiting to be fixed. Linux could be a very nice alternative that is currently very suitable for the desktop. As you might know, there isn't just one supplier that delivers the software, but there are many distributions. Which one to pick is very personal, but a couple of famous free distributions are:
- Knoppix that comes on a single CD and can run without installation. This is very useful to verify if all hardware is correctly detected. If you like it you can install it to your hard disk.
- Fedora that used to be the Red Hat distribution, but is now a true open source project. It can be downloaded and burned on CD.
- Mandrake Linux that delivers a Linux desktop that can freely be downloaded.
When everything works you might also have a look at Evolution, which is an e-mail package that looks a lot like Microsoft Outlook and supports many corporate features.

Every week we'll round up some of the best recipes, food writing, cooking tips and drinking tricks that every college student should know about. Here's what's cooking in virtual kitchens, around the web, this week.
Memorial day has come and gone which means that the summer grilling season is officially in full swing. Even if you don't have a real grill, here are some fun recipes that can even be adapted using a George Foreman or a grill pan in a college kitchen!
-Melissa Tovin, Small Kitchen College Contributor
Use the grill to make some super easy gourmet style pizza like this pizza margarita or just grill some toppings for this budget friendly hummus and grilled vegetable pizza
Grilled dessert? Say What? Try throwing some fruit on for a twist on a fruit salad from college candy
If you don't have a grill, try a healthy alternative to burgers with this chicken burger
Make your own pickles as a perfect accompaniment to your burger with these sweet and spicy homemade pickles or some fun quick carrot pickles
Pasta can also be made into a summer dish with some grilled veggies, as in this grilled vegetable summer pasta
Of course, you always need a little refreshment while you grill so try a summer daiquiri on the side
Finally, take some BGSK advice for having a stress-free BBQ. That drink might help, too.

It's a natural fact of life. From time to time, we all can feel lost. No one is immune. We hear, constantly, in the media, about people getting caught for something or another that they weren't supposed to be doing, from politicians to petty thugs. It's also probably true that you hear of people deviating from a path in your daily conversations. Most people have goals and dreams in mind. At some point the fire burns brightly, the embers illuminate your thinking and you are completely motivated! That thing that you want to do, so passionately, is as clear as the crystal waters of the Caribbean and sharp as a Ginsu knife. The future seems so bright. Then, what happens? For some, they dart to the goal, uninterrupted, fiercely and freely. But for others, they may not have the freedom to do so. Life happens. Sometimes the dream is so precious, but the priorities of life must come first, and that dream keeps getting put back into the queue. The key is to never forget the path, the goal, the dream. You must consistently nurture it. A tiny seed takes years and years to become a mighty tree, but it needs sunlight and water, and sometimes a little support to get it started, build its' strength. Don't forget your way, your path. Remember what it is that created sparks, that made you tingle with anticipation. This is so for anything at all, from religious beliefs to a project, to a change of lifestyle, etc... Never beat yourself up about it. Just remind yourself, and make an effort to get back to that thing that put the wanting in your life. Desire is a great motivator. When you find yourself feeling lost, look back, find your passion, call out to it, woo it back. Having a purpose makes you feel good, from short to long term goals. What will you be reminding yourself of today? Be gently with yourself and remember, you were never lost, you just lost your way.

125th Anniversary
Shafts of Light: Mining Art in the Great Northern Coalfield
17 May – 21 September 2014
A salute to a once essential and powerful workforce this exhibition - which featured around 70 paintings, including works by renowned mining artists Norman Cornish and Tom McGuinness – vividly illustrated the working environment of coalminers through their own interpretation of life in
and around the North East of England, allowing the viewer to experience through the artists' eyes the severe working conditions and social climate of the time.
Over half the paintings that went on show are part of the vast
Gemini Collection
of Robert McManners and Gillian Wales, who curated the exhibition. Their award winning book,
Shafts of Light
, after which the exhibition is named, was reprinted to coincide with the opening of the show. The book documented the work of over 70 artists – both amateur and professional – all of whom gained inspiration from the might of the colliery.
While coalmining was considered an honourable profession on the continent, the miner being seen as a noble toiler against Mother Earth and depicted as such in 19th Century European art, it was a different story in England. Here the terrible working conditions of the collier were hidden from public gaze. While formal commissioned images of mines do exist from the 18th Century, experiential mining art didn't appear here until the 1920s with the likes of Gilbert Daykin, George Bissill and Vincent Evans.
In subsequent years the movement prospered and many of the region's most celebrated contemporary artists, like Cornish and McGuinness, derive from their collier roots. Many of these artists were full time pitmen who still found the time and energy to permanently record their experiences in paint.
However, many professional artists like Graham Sutherland and Josef Herman who are also represented in the exhibition, produced their own body of work in an artistic celebration not found in other industries.
Also on display were miners' banners courtesy of Durham Miners' Association, portraying the rich history of the pit communities. Depicted on the Chopwell banner are Lenin and Marx, while others represented Durham Miners' support groups from the cataclysmic strike of 1984 (specifically women's groups) and the famous Durham Miners' Gala Day parade.

Famished? Now, what's the first thing you will be looking for? Comfort food? For most of us, it is rice even when we are on a weight loss diet. There's something hugely comforting about a plateful of white rice, steaming and gleaming in all its resplendent glory, isn't it? Well, has it ever happened to you? You have been away from home for days together and you got to eat varieties of the choicest of foods, but as soon as you reach home rice is something which you really crave and of course home-cooked food.
Food trends keep changing and suddenly white rice, our staple food is getting a bad name! White rice is bad, seems to be the new buzzword. Now, there are different types of rice grains and not just the white and brown variety which we are more familiar with. White is bad, brown is good! Right? Not so fast! We need to get our facts right and think how we can broaden our horizons as far as our humble rice grain is concerned.
Varieties of Rice
Risotto or sticky rice? Long-grained basmati or the healthy brown rice? When you have it for lunch, do you realize that rice has a number of varieties as well? It can be exotic too, like the new kid on the block, wild rice or red rice! There are options galore and if you are wondering about the healthiest types of rice, no need to rack your brains, as we go into a discussion of the rainbow-hued rice and how it can add a good many nutrients to our diet. This should be reason enough to start exploring varied options. After all, if we can have so many different varieties, why settle for only white, or for that matter, brown rice?
White Rice
Our love for white grain can be traced back to our great ancestors, which just goes to show the sheer universality of the grain. It is a staple food for almost half the population of the world. A school of thought is of the opinion that rice originated in South India and then it traveled to China. Korea, Philippines, Japan, Indonesia followed suit and the Asians never thought of parting from this wonderful grain. From there it traveled to Europe. The minute we hear about rice we think of the white one, and though weight watchers think we need to eliminate rice from our diet, there are ample benefits of this wonderful grain. So before finding out about the types of rice, we must find out the benefits of white rice.
Benefits of White Rice
If you're thinking that white rice has no benefits to speak of and just makes you fat, think again! Check out the benefits of white rice and see if your unfavorable opinion changes about it.
- It provides energy- Have you ever wondered how you get a renewed source of energy when you have a plateful of rice? Have you felt that there's a spring in your step and you are a bundle of energy rushing into doing this and that post a meal with rice? That's because carbohydrates provide energy, period. Rice being full of carbs, gives you the impetus to do tons of work without feeling sluggish. There are various types of white rice So ignoring rice completely, white or otherwise is sheer folly.
- It helps build muscles- Rice is a good source of amino acids, and when you combine it with meat and fish. it helps create a wonderful diet that helps your muscles grow.
- Perfect for people who are suffering from gastrointestinal disorders- Since it is not too high on fiber, people with digestive issues like diarrhea, colitis can eat rice without worrying about consequences. When people are sick in India, they are given a gruel like broth called khichdi, which is an easily digestible combination of rice and pulses that perks up your immunity in a jiffy.
- Low sodium content- The low sodium content helps patients with kidney trouble and elevated hypertension. So patients suffering from these diseases can benefit from eating rice.
- High thiamine content- Thiamine helps to build high cognitive processes so rice should be fed to children as well as people who need to build their cognitive process.
- Good for your immunity- The manganese content in rice boosts the immune system and should, therefore, be part of your diet.

Recipe of white rice
There are recipes galore of the widely-available white rice. Here is one for you to try:
Garlic Rice
A break away from your regular steamed rice affair, here is something to add to your regular menu.
- 2 cups long-grain white rice
- 1/2 medium onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 sprigs fresh cilantro or flat-leaf parsley
- Cover the rice with hot water and let it stand for 10 minutes. Drain the rice in a sieve or and rinse until the water runs clear. Shake the sieve vigorously to remove the excess water.
- In a blender, blend the onion, garlic, salt, and 3 cups of water and process until blended properly.
- In a medium saucepan over moderate heat, heat the oil until hot but not smoking. Add the rice and sauté until it crackles when stirred, for about 3 minutes. Add the onion and garlic mixture, bring to a boil and cook for another 3 minutes. Add the cilantro or parsley and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until small holes appear in the rice, for about 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork and remove the herb sprigs. Keep covered until it is ready to serve.
Brown rice and its benefits
The battle between white and brown has been heating up. It's a healthier version of white rice and the glycemic index of rice types is something we must consider. Brown rice has a fairly low glycemic index, which makes it a must-have in a diabetic's diet, as then the sugar levels get stabilized and does not shoot up as soon as you have certain foods.
- It is rich in selenium- It protects your body from common diseases like arthritis, cancer, and heart disease.
- Rich in manganese- It is full of manganese, which is good for synthesizing fats and also for our reproductive and nervous system.
- It is full of natural oils- Natural oils help stabilize your cholesterol.
- Promotes weight loss- It is full of fiber and thus eases the digestive system, helping with weight-loss in the process.
- It is not stripped of nutrients- As it is considered whole-grain, it is not refined, thus full of nutrients, it thus reduces the risk of heart ailments and cholesterol.
- High in antioxidants- It's rich in antioxidants and its whopping antioxidant content can be compared to that of the berries, which are the kings of antioxidants.
- Fiber content pretty high- The high fiber content prevents colon cancer. It helps get rid of the toxins from the body and keeps it healthy and free from diseases.
- Good food for babies- Since it so full of nutrients, it helps with the babies growth cycle. Brown rice is way better than that refined stuff.
- Good for curbing candida yeast infections- It stops the growth of candida yeast and similar infections as it is high glycemic food.

Recipe of brown rice
You can include the very nutritious brown rice in your diet chart by following this recipe.
Rice Pie
A blend of protein and carbohydrates this recipe can be very filling and could keep you satiated for hours together.
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 3 cups cooked instant or quick-cooking brown rice
- 1 cup diced extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Generously coat a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and spinach; cook, stirring, 1 minute more. Transfer to a large bowl. Add rice, cheese, pepper and salt to the bowl and stir to combine.
- Whisk eggs and milk in a medium bowl. Stir into the spinach-rice mixture. Transfer to the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake the pie until lightly browned in spots, about 25 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting into wedges.
Wild Rice
Though it is named rice, it is not your typical Asian rice. It is actually an aquatic rice. This rice is gluten-free, high in fiber and protein. It is very nutritious and looks black in color.
- Heart Health: When our main aim is to look for ways to boost heart health, wild rice certainly delivers. There is no sodium in wild rice, which helps to reduce blood pressure, but there is also a high amount of fiber, which is known to lower the "bad" cholesterol from the cardiovascular system.
- Digestive Processes: As mentioned above, wild rice boasts an impressive amount of dietary fiber. Aside from normalizing your cholesterol balances, fiber also bulks up your stool and eases your digestive process.
- Immune System Booster: Improving the health of your general immune system is one of the best ways to increase your overall health, and one of the best ways to get that immunity boost with vitamin C, of which wild rice has a significant amount. Vitamin C promotes the white blood cells, which work against the foreign bodies which affect the defense system of the body.
- The strength of your bone: As we age, we slow down and our bodies begin to break down. Our bones and their mineral density get affected as well. One way to overcome this is with a fair balance of the essential amount of minerals in our diet, which wild rice can provide.
- For your weight loss Efforts: As a low-calorie and gluten-free food, as are all true rice, wild rice can help those who are attempting to lose weight and prevent obesity. Unlike white rice, which can bulk up your diet and actually help gain weight, wild rice has a different effect, preventing overeating due to high fiber and nutrient content, without supplying a high level of calories.
- Anti-Aging: One of the most important benefits you can derive from wild rice is it is full of antioxidants. White rice typically has no antioxidant capacity, but wild rice contains about 20 to 30 times more antioxidants.
- Chronic Disease: Among the greatest benefits of wild rice is it is full of antioxidants. It has been shown to lower the chances of certain chronic conditions including heart ailments. This is due to the same neutralizing effect on dangerous free radicals that was explained above.
- Growth and Repair: The high content of protein found in wild rice can also be good for increasing muscle mass, proper growth, and balanced development in our bodies.
- Birth disorders- Wild rice has numerous vitamins such as vitamin B6, also known as folate or folic acid, and this has been proven to reduce neural tube defects in newborn infants. Mothers expecting their babies must include wild rice in their diets.

Recipe of Wild Rice
Masala Rice
The following recipe is a nutritious one, sure to add variety to your regular meals.
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 cup uncooked wild rice
- 1 pound lump crabmeat, drained and shell pieces removed
- 3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup minced shallots
- 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
- 4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
- Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the wild rice; cover, reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour or until it is tender. Combine cooked wild rice, crab, and next 11 ingredients (crab through egg whites) in a large bowl. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions, shaping each into a 1-inch-thick patty.
- Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 4 patties; cook 4 minutes. Carefully turn patties over; cook 4 minutes or until golden. Repeat procedure with remaining oil and patties.
Now that we know the benefits of rice, we should know why we must include rice in our diets and not replace rice with wheat, as we will be reducing the amino acid content, said to be the building blocks of the body. Eat the kind of rice which has the proteins, vitamin B, and fiber to cater to your nutritional needs. Look for the healthiest types of rice and go ahead, indulge yourself in a plateful of white, black or brown rice.
