Ships Deploy to Support Georgia Humanitarian Assistance Mission
American Forces Press Service
NAPLES, Italy, Aug. 21, 2008 - Two Navy ships and a Coast Guard cutter are transporting humanitarian relief supplies to Georgia.
These deployments are part of the larger United States response to the government of Georgia request for humanitarian assistance, U.S. 6th Fleet officials said.
USS McFaul departed from Souda Bay, Crete, yesterday, and the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Dallas will leave later this week. McFaul and Dallas are scheduled to transit into the Black Sea and arrive in Georgia within a week.
The crew of the USS Mount Whitney is loading humanitarian relief materials in the ship's homeport of Gaeta, Italy, and will proceed to Georgia later this month, officials said.
The ships will deliver thousands of blankets, hygiene kits, baby food and infant-care supplies to save lives and alleviate human suffering, officials said.
These surface ships represent the first from the United States to participate in the delivery of humanitarian assistance to Georgia. Both McFaul, based in Norfolk, Va., and Dallas, based in Charleston, S.C., are on regularly scheduled deployments in the 6th Fleet area of responsibility.

Carrasco International Airport in Montevideo, Uruguay. Courtesy Daniela MacAdden Photography.
The Carrasco International Airport in Uruguay, the largest airport in the country, serves up to 2.8 million passengers a year. The 344,000-square-foot, three-story terminal is a dramatic and welcoming space for the passengers and visitors. The terminal modernizes and expands the passenger and cargo handling capacity of the existing facilities to promote tourism and commercial growth in the region.
Thornton Tomasetti was responsible for the structural design of the terminal's 1,000-foot-long curved steel roof structure. The roof maintains a low profile on the landscape, helping its structure integrate with the surroundings. The unique roof extends beyond the building on all four sides, with an irregular plan profile varying in width from 415 feet to 165 feet. The steel-truss roof has an irregular vertical profile with its two ends supported on grade, and the height of the roof varies from 85 feet to 120 feet. The cantilevered roof facilitates the strategic use of daylighting for the terminal building by creating shading for the interior space.
The 60-foot-high fully glazed curtain wall system extending from the base to the roof wraps around the terminal building, creating transparency. In response to the challenge of providing draining for the large roof area, two gutters, one at each cantilevered edge, run the entire length of the roof to capture rainwater run-off.

EXCLUSIVE: Tatler Tory Mark Clarke Expelled from Party Ahead of Explosive Newsnight Report.
Mark Clarke [left] with allies [from left] CF Deputy, Grant Shapps MP and Baroness Pidding
A SECRET meeting of top Tory brass is understood to have taken place last night to discuss expelling Tatler Tory Mark Clarke from the Conservative Party, TBG can reveal.
The news comes ahead of an explosive Newsnight report making allegations of sexual assault, bullying and blackmail around the party's Road Trip campaign. The report's scheduled to be broadcast tonight but a BBC source told TBG they're, "on a knife edge due to Paris" and it may go out later.
A senior Conservative source told The Commentator that the meeting took place to discuss how to handle 'The Clarke situation' and expelling him from the party was decided as the preferred option.
Election guru Clarke was suspended from the party following the suicide of 21-year of Elliott Johnson who killed himself amid allegations of bullying.
Earlier this week, Cabinet Minister Robert Halfon confessed to an affair with the head of the Tory youth movement, citing fears of blackmail.

The problem is that the same people who gave him this influential position are still there. Their judgment is severely in doubt as anyone who has been in the Party more than a year or two knew of his reputation.
When will someone take some responsibility for jeopardising the safety of our youngest members?

Great news.
Now lets ensure that the duplicitous schemers who were Mark Clarkes friends in crime are also thrown out. Despite them deserting him, we all know who the bullying people are. For those that don't, they are:

It's good that the party has finally come to its senses (belatedly) and expelled him. But like the above comment says - what about all his little cronies? He bankrolled Patterson's campaign for CF chair and as the Halfon story shows, she is clearly implicit in his blackmail plots. She may have come running forward with her little sob stories but it's plain as day that she's a nasty piece of work. Anyone who's has a run-in with her will know she's nasty, manipulative, self-important and power hungry. I for one hope her political career is brought to a swift end. Oh and the rest of them!

Your Skin
We strongly believe that a healthy skin starts with education. Not with a skincare product. Not even ours. You have to understand how your skin works and why you are getting breakouts, wrinkles and other impurities. The environment and our lifestyle plays a huge part in why you have an unhealthy skin.
Your skin is your largest organ. Your skin has the challenging task to Guard you, Protect you, and maintain your health and beauty throughout your life. The past 120,000 years the skin has evolved. However, the past 50 years our environment and lifestyle has completely changed. Multiple studies have shown that it was impossible for our skin to evolve so rapidly to face the many challenges that come with the "modern time". Different types of environmental factors are damaging our skin every day. Making your skin unhealthy. So how can we get a healthy skin again? Let's sum up the facts.
FACT: Our skin is not resistant to environmental factors such as UV rays and smog.
The famous Dr. Mehmet Oz, MD tells us that the combination of UV rays and smog are almost impossible for your skin to handle. "When UV rays of the sun come into contact with smog, the smog breaks down into free radicals. These free radicals can get into our skin cells and move around, damaging the cells and chipping away at their walls. The presence of free radicals can lead to premature aging." A daily application of sunscreen helps, but is not enough to protect your skin against the combination of UV rays and smog. MUDMASKY® Facial Masks are packed with the right vitamins. Only from a natural source. We will help your skin to get rid of toxins, bacteria and germs.
FACT: Food and Cosmetics are damaging our skin.
Refined sugars, trans fats, alcohol, alkaline soaps and stress are all part of our "new lifestyle". All these factors are causing imbalances in the skins pH, which leads to breakouts and other imperfections like wrinkles. MUDMASKY® Facial Masks are especially designed to restore the pH level of the facial skin and to give its natural beauty back. We don't use ingredients that can harm your skin.
Learn more about how we have chosen the perfect ingredients that match your skin >
FACT: The ideal pH for the Facial Skin is 5.5
This could sound like weird science, but understanding pH-levels is easy. There is big chance the pH level of your skin is lower or higher than 5.5. The harsh soaps you are using and some foods you are eating are responsible for setting your skin pH off balance.
Learn more about how you can pH-balance your skin and what the difference is with an over-the-counter face mask >

I've installed Custom Press and I'd like to create template files for custom posts, for specific subsites. As described here https://premium.wpmudev.org/project/custompress/#usage I should be able to create template files but it seems it only works at network-level.
How can I create template files at site-level? How does it work precisely? Should I delete the loader.php line 13 and then I'll be able to create templates..? Where will these templates be saved in my files (FTP)?
See I don't want to share specific custom posts and templates within my whole network multisite.

With Wal-Mart shares up 20% so far this year will earnings on Tuesday show the retailer is firing on all cylinders?
Wal-Mart reports earnings Tuesday with analysts polled by Thomson Financial expecting a profit of 75 cents per share, on revenue of $93.22 billion. The world's largest retailer is expected to benefit as customers begin spending their fiscal-stimulus checks.
One day ahead of earnings Citigroup raised its price target on Wal-Mart to $67 from $57, saying the stock's valuation should reflect a higher multiple to account for greater growth and profit opportunities from the company's streamlined international operations.
I agree with Citigroup, exclaims Jeff Make. Here's why…
1. Brokers love to love Wal-Mart
2. The bar is set low
3. Wal-Mart has digested gains and grown into it's multiple.
I think you can buy WMT on any dip, Macke says.
Wal-Mex is the biggest retailer in Mexico, adds Tim Seymour. That's also a positive for this company.
I think Wal-Mart could have a 60-handle, adds Guy Adami.

Samsung Electronic and TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd) is competing to be the first company who produce 10nm process chipset. Samsung Electronic has bypassed the production of 20nm chipset last year and went straight to produce 14nm chipset and thus the company secured orders from Apple and Qualcomm. This year, TSMC is skipping 14nm chipset production and going direct to produce 10nm chipset. Hopefully, by using this method, TSMC is able to secure orders from Apple and Qualcomm, two of the company's biggest customers.
As reported by Taiwan's local media, TSMC will start the risk production of its 10nm process chipset by second quarter of next year. Risk production can be seen as the final testing phase which is aimed to increase the yield rates before the full mass production. The mass production is expected to be somewhere as early as second half of next year. The negotiation with Apple and Qualcomm is expected to be around this period too.
After the 10-nm foundry process is implemented, the clock rate of application processors (AP) is expected to be up 20 percent while the power consumption is expected to be down 40 percent compared to the 14nm FinFET process.
Samsung Electronic, on the other hand, announced that its 10-nm foundry process is made possible from the end of 2016 and that the company is planning to expand the market share of the existing 14nm FinFET chipset first. At the moment, it seems like TSMC is a step ahead in the race. TSMC is also reported to have invested US$1 billion on this 10-nm process chipset in order not to lose with Samsung Electronic.
However, there is still possibility that Samsung Electronic will push the production date to be earlier as to win order from Apple so that its performance can be improved. The company has unveiled the actual 12-inch wafer using its 10nm process in May 2015 which is seen as unusual move from the company.

Indianapolis, IN – Global Orphan Foundation, an Indianapolis based non-profit with a global mission, will be hosting it's second year of Camp My Moment in Nicaragua. This five-day camp for girls 12-18 living in orphanages will focus on issues of self-esteem building, healthy decision-making, goal setting, sexual health, and healthy relationships.
The second annual camp will take place the first week of December in the mountains of Esteli and will host 55 girls. There is no cost to campers or the orphanages that care for them – it costs Global Orphan Foundation $300 per camper to provide this service. Camp My Moment was created in partnership with Peace Corps Nicaragua Gender and Development Committee.
"Studies show that one out of every two women in Nicaragua has experienced violence in her lifetime, and only 18% of women pursue higher education," said GOF Executive Director Nicole Brandt. "Those statistics are even worse for girls living in orphanages. Camp My Moment works to show girls a world where they have choices and are the master of their own fates."

I didn't get around to write a post last week, so I need to make some changes! How or what can I do to get myself writing these posts every week? I don't know the answer to that, so I will test any ideas that comes to mind. First initial thought is that I feel it's to time consuming (is it though?) to spend 30 minutes writing. Like I've mention earlier I'm not used to write, so I need to get into a habit of writing.
"To spend 5 minutes in the evening to write down a journal for that day.
Basically I'll write every day, and sum it all up in a post at the end of the week."
We'll see how this works and if it doesn't… Test another idea! But let's head back to the last couple of weeks.
[vc_separator type='transparent' position='left' color=" border_style=" thickness='1′ up=" down='35']
I got a lot of work done on the project that is for a non-profit. It's close to finish and I have a scheduled meeting with them in about two weeks. I'll have everything ready by then to go over final revisions.
I decided to make peace with the ad agency, and wrote a mail to explain why I was frustrated and that I was caught by surprise when I learned that they also was struggling financially.
One thing I learned is that I need to stop taking on project that require my immediate attention. All that does is take away my focus from what I am currently working on and I end up feeling stressed. What I need to do when I get asked to do these projects (that has to happen NOW) is to let them know when I am available to take on their project, or they would have to pay a higher rate for me to postpone my current projects.
[vc_separator type='transparent' position='left' color=" border_style=" thickness='1′ up=" down='35']
Had great start this week with a meeting with one of best friends. We are looking to create a business together further down the line, and it was very productive. We had talk a lot about this earlier as well, but we haven't really committed to this idea until now. We agreed on scheduling a bi-weekly meeting to focus solely on this and we managed to hash out a pretty good concept in our first meeting.
I also had my first call with Liam Veitch at Freelancelift and it was awesome! Like I mentioned last time this month is about defining your dream client, and I narrowed it down to three potential industries. I will decide which one by the end of this week. We came up with some good next steps and ideas on how to attract them. Looking forward to piecing this together and show you the result.
The outsourcing job went well, so the clients gets everything they asked for. Making some progress on this projects as well. Although I haven't been able to get a hold of the client for this past week to get some feedback.
I got ask to help out to vectorize a logo that had been put together in Photoshop by a business friend of mine. He's working on a really cool app that I think has some really good potential. In return I get lifetime subscription and a lot of praise! Went the extra mile and put together fictitious landing page, and he loved it.
[vc_separator type='transparent' position='left' color=" border_style=" thickness='1′ up=" down='35']
Good couple of weeks
This last week has been a good week, a lot of good things got done. I've also started the healthier eating goal, and it's so freaking hard… But I know that I need to get through these two first weeks to get really into it. I'm feeling better already though!
Got any question, just ask, I'll be happy to answer! See you again next week!

It started with an idea…to help his fellow man by creating art that would touch people's hearts and souls, inviting them to "pay it forward…" That idea became a song…"Lay One Down" was released on Veterans Day 2015, as a benefit for Heart Songs For Veterans. That song became an Interactive Global Music Video Initiative, with award-winning artists from around the world coming together over a period of two months, to contribute their time and talents to Ed Roman's "Lay One Down" music video.
Now, MTS Management Group and Ed Roman, in cooperation with Heart Songs For Veterans, are happy to announce the release of the music video for "Lay One Down." The video premiered on April 24th, on Ed's VEVO channel. Watch it now here.
Like the single, the video will help raise funds for the veterans organization.
Artists appearing in the music video alongside Roman include: Multi-Gold and Platinum singer/songwriter, Hicks (Sweden); Country Artist and Veteran, Amelia Presley (USA); Bravo TV's Kandi Factory Champion, Cory Singer (USA); Top 10 New Music Weekly chart artist, TJ Leonard (Sweden); Billboard Songwriter Award Winner, Ray Powers (USA); International singer/songwriter, Darren Mullins (Hong Kong); Renowned Pottery Artist, Kim Harcourt Roman (Canada); Multi-award nominee, Nikki Briar (USA); Worship Leader/musician, Eddy Mann (USA); Dave Bagley (Canada); and Head of MTS Management Group, Michael Stover (USA).
"Lay One Down" was written and recorded by Ed Roman at Area 51 studios in Ontario, Canada. The track was produced by Michael Jack, during Ed's sessions for his upcoming 2016 album release, Red Omen.
Heart Songs For Veterans is a Music initiative created to help veterans, active military personnel and wounded warriors. Singer/Songwriters donate their new song releases, ep's or full length album's and a portion of the royalties are paid forward to Veteran organizations. Heart Songs For Veterans is also home to "Project Lips Radio Show." For more information, visit their website here.
About Ed Roman: Ed Roman is an Award-winning singer/songwriter, performer and multi-instrumentalist from Shelburne, Ontario, Canada. Blurring the lines between pop, rock, folk, and country music genres, Ed's uniquely crafted songs have received regular rotation on more than 100 terrestrial radio stations across North America. Ed is a 2014 Artists Music Guild Award Nominee and a 2014 Artists In Music Award Nominee. He is also a 2014 International Music and Entertainment Association Award Winner, a two-time 2015 IMEA Award nominee, a Josie Show Awards nominee, an Akademia Awards Winner, and a two-time Indie Music Channel Award winner.

Recently, this Top 100 MTV.com artist traveled to Jamaica to deliver much-needed humanitarian aid to the island, while shooting the music video for "Jamaica." Ed is also a Heart Songs for Veterans artist, donating money to help veterans. His current album, Letters From High Latitudes (an homage to his Ontario home) is a critically-acclaimed vehicle for Ed's socio-political, earthly-conscious and globally-aware messages. This earthy, funky and magical mix of music has earned Ed Roman airplay chart recognition and won over legions of fans around the world, known as "Ed Heads."

charmed life
Really really random
I'm sitting here waiting for MomG to call so we can take the pooch to Sutton Creek for a nice walk – she is 'babysitting' a little dog for a neighbor who is attending a funeral this morning, and that dog is too small (and a little too annoying) to bring on this walk.
However, I'm freezing. It's freezing outside. Our thermostat says 21*C and apparently it's 21*F outside. Whatever - I'm cold! Depending on which minute from what source you check the weather, we're supposed to get 2-4, 4-6, 6-8, 8-10 or 10-12 inches of snow today/tonight. Who knows. Lake effect can be iffy like that.
I know our neighbor across the street is probably praying for a ton of snow. He has only had the opportunity to use his snowblower 3 times this year. For shame! We've only had like 12 inches this year compared to like 40 inches last year… I have noticed that our next door neighbor (uh, not my mom, the other side) thankfully does not have her 2 dogs (both with short hair mind you) outside in the blowing cold temps, so that's good.
My favorite crackers (although I'm trying to avoid processed food right now… how's that working?) are Trisketts Rye and Caraway Seed (darned good) and All Bran Garlic and Wheat (but you can only buy those in the States, which I did last week).
I don't care one bit about American Idol. I do like Ellen and her talk show occasionally, if it's on and I notice it kind of thing, but it's not going to make me watch American Idol, and I think I might the only person in the Western Hemisphere who couldn't care any less.
Bah, so Super Bowl (not a great game, nor great commercials, btw, but the festivities were fun…) is over, and now the only 'big thing' on the horizon is the beginning of golf season which is still 2 months away… There are many little fun things; get togethers, V-day, William's birthday, the golf show, and of course steak night date nights to look forward to, but this is the time when I 'come down'. Many people feel like this after the holidays, but for me it's after Super Bowl. From the end of March until Super Bowl there is always something going on… camping, golfing, club events, parties, the holidays, fun fun fun! But right now I have to focus on the little things and appreciate this down time.
All golfers I have spoken to are 'getting the itch'. I'm scratching myself raw over here. Oh, indoor golfing next week with Kiks and JD Barb, that's something to look forward to… 😉
I'm not a huge fan of change. Apparently either Facebook is changing, or has, and I haven't noticed. People bitch about the change, then forget how it used to be in 2 weeks. What irritates me is that our garbage night has changed. We used to put it out every Tuesday (recycle is every other Tuesday - very convenient), now it's on Thursday nights. I don't like it, not one bit! I think I'll always fondly remember garbage night on Tuesdays… sigh…
Oh, and change – the food and beverage manager at Sutton Creek was let go due to budget issues. Crazy! That'll be a huge change at the course this year.
I have got to start reading again! I've only read 4 books this year – I tend to read way more in the winter than in the summer (due to golf and the love of the great outdoors), but I've been playing my DS at night instead of reading. I'll try to down 2 books before I pick up the DS again, but not tonight – I'm going to BMW's.
I'm going to go look for something to clean.
A word about the week-end
Okay, more than 1 word…
Friday I was pretty tired from driving all day… how that tires one out, I'll never know… anyways… we pretty much lounged about, and that was nice.
Saturday Billy skipped golf and we had a bunch of things to do around the house. He washed and waxed both vehicles, while I vacuumed and cleaned the inside of the car, and did laundry.
We ate dinner, packed up some snacks and drinks and yes, went to the drive in in Grand Bend… of course we tossed the futon mattress in the back of the pick-up!
I know, I know, to drive for 2 hours to see 2 movies at a drive in, but we totally love it! It was packed as the movies were Indiana Jones and Iron Man (both were really good, pleasantly surprised by Iron Man's awesomeness…) We guessed that there were well over 1,000 people there, many left after the first movie…
The first movie didn't even start until after 9:30, and the second was done around 2 am I think. We decided to be complete redneck losers and catch some z's on the side of the road somewhere between Arkona and Watford (aka: nowheresville and Home of the Silver Stick…).
The most ridiculous part of the entire adventure was us waking up and wanting to leave, (have to pee!) and discovering that there was a guy reading a paper in a van about 10 feet from us… Oh well, suck up the fact that we're losers… we crawl out of the back just in time to be completely busted by another guy in another van pulling his golf clubs out of the back. He laughed at us. Figuratively, seriously; I was mortified (but only for like 2 seconds… then it was pretty funny…) I know I would laugh pretty hard if I saw two ratty looking people crawling out of the back of a pick-up at 6:30 on a Sunday morning…haha
When we got home, Billy and I pretty much showered and went and golfed 18 holes (golfed okay… I am now sporting a fantastic farmer's tan…) then went to MomG's for prime rib. Delicious, fun times.
So, how many of my friends would sleep in the back of a pick-up on the side of the road? At age 34 3/4? I don't know if any would, so am I super classless? I don't think I care about that anymore. It was fun and one of the best week-ends ever! I love my life!
QotD: Charmed, I'm Sure
What is a "charmed life"?
Uh, mine… ;P

Was it worth using a masterball on latias in heartgold
I would say yes just because latias roams and this makes latias very difficult to catch. Without using the master ball, you would have to use a move like block or spider web or have a Pokemon with shadow tag or you would have to slowly reduce its hp and keep searching for it until you weakened it enough to catch. But I would say, yes it was worth it.
Maybe. I'd say yes, but HG has a few random encounter legendaries and hard to catch regular ones, so it's really all down to your judgenent. Latias is really decent, though, so I think you made a good call.
No, I cannot say it was. You should have saved it for ho-oh as it has superior stats. (680, ho-oh, 600, latias)

Sri Swami Vishwananda just got back to Shree Peetha Nilaya from about a week in South Africa.
You may want to read this with a friend or in a group - one person reading the instructions, and the others meditating.
This meditation is for world peace. You see, we all wish good for the world, right? When we say the prayer Loka Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu, we don't pray only for ourselves. We pray for everybody because when the world has peace, everything is peaceful, huh? But if you don't have peace then it's very difficult. But very often we say that we want people to change, but we don't want to change.
Every day many people say, Loka Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu. Do you mean it? It's very important when you pray to mean what you are saying, and not just plainly, without faith.
Loka Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu means 'let peace be everywhere', but firstly you have to become peaceful yourself to bring peace. And everybody in this world does have peace inside of them. Everybody in this world does have love inside of them. Some know it, some don't. Some know how to bring it outside, and some, due to fear, close it inside of them. But if you want peace, you have to open the mind and you have to broaden your way of seeing things. If you want to love truly, you have to start loving.
We are in this world, but we give less importance to it, we take it for granted. We walk on her, we work, we do everything on her, but yet, how many people really take even one minute to think of her really? Do you? No? Yes? Mataji, thank you. You are sincere. Not many people think about it. You know, we take it so much for granted.
So, I will do one very simple meditation with you.
You see, Bhumi Devi is one wife of Narayana. You know Vishnu has two wives, huh? Who are they? Maha Lakshmi, whom everybody thinks of every day.
(The audience laughs.)
And the other one Bhudevi, who sustains you, looks after you. But yet, one doesn't give much importance to Her.
So, let's do this one minute meditation. You know, like I said, your mind will run. You are sitting here, but your mind will be at home, or on the food, or something. But whenever you perceive that the mind is running say, "No, no, no! Come back!" Alright?
So, firstly, close your eyes. Open your hands, place it in front of your heart. Not towards you, but palms toward each other.
With your creative mind imagine that Mother Earth, the world is in between your palms. By doing that there is automatically a flow of energy from your right hand to your left hand, and from the left hand to your right hand. Some of you who are sensitive to feel will automatically feel it, this flow of vibration.
So, close your eyes and imagine Mother Earth in between your palms.
Now from your heart send all the good wishes, healing, love to Mother Earth.
If your mind is running, bring it back.
May the love which is inside of you bring comfort and peace to people who need it: people who are sick, or who need help... Send them the love. Let your positiveness bring peace everywhere; in you, your neighbour, your family.
Chant with me.
Swamiji and the audience chanting: OM OM OM, Shanti Shanti Shanti.
Jai Gurudev!
You can practice it for one minute, even if you are very busy. You have one minute? Yes, right?
Audience: Yes.
SV: Just close your eyes, especially for this world. You are part of this world, huh? It doesn't matter which religion or which colour you are. How you are, you are part of this world. Every good wish is important.
Jai Gurudev!

First Day of School!
Yesterday was my last first day of school. It was definitely bittersweet.
It was a packed day. Class from 9:30-10:45, 11-2, and 3-5. Then I went to the Rec and to eat dinner with my lovely little sister.
Today will be more calm, work from 8-10:45, class from 11-2, and work till 5. Then I guess I am working out again. : )
Be back soon, I'm just getting into the swing of classes for the last time.

Swab 2015: The Highlights
Swab is an International Contemporary Art Fair dedicated exclusively to young emerging artists – most of the programmes within the fair are restricted to artists aged 45 and under. It is refreshing to see a fair which embraces and promotes those artists who are still launching their career, as well as supporting young galleries and alternative artistic platforms which would usually not have a place in an international art fair. Swab is special for its lack of pretensions and genuine passion for supporting emerging artists. As you walk through you can appreciate this, there are all types of art and artists and many programmes implemented to benefit the "underdogs" of the art world. The MYFAF programme, for example, selects three promising young galleries who have never participated in a fair to exhibit free of charge. This year there were several new programmes, New Photography from China; Swab Gate, bringing in African and Caribbean artists; Swab Seed, representing independent contemporary art spaces; and Swab performance.
This year the fair presented over 65 galleries from over 22 countries, including Spain, Mexico, Cuba, Japan, Greece, and many more. It was a great show, my only criticism and disappointment is that several of the galleries presented the same artworks as last year. But still there were many fantastic artists to discover, here are my top 5 finds, in no particular order:
- Juan Escudero in Galería Alegría, Madrid:
Galería Alegría represented Juan Escudero within the programme of "Drawing Applications." Born in Bilbao and currently based in Barcelona, Juan Escudero's drawings are simple, yet incredibly detailed, and form part of his series Piel (Skin). In them he explores the act of drawing a line and the natural wave and forms which can emerge naturally from that action. Using india ink, the artist draws line after thin line upon the paper, creating the effect of waves and textures from their varying closeness. They are abstract and process-lead drawings in which you can get lost and imagine different possibilities, one of which could be that they detail the relief of a landscape, like a topographic map.
- Estefania Peñafiel Loaiza in Galerie Alain Gutharc, Paris:
Presented under Solo Swab, a programme curated by Direlia Lazo and Carolina Ariza which presents individual Latin American artists whose work is of a procedural and documentary nature. Estefania Peñafiel Loaiza, an Ecuadorian artist based in Paris, exhibited a fascinating project. In her piece Untitled (Extras), 2009-2014, the artist used an eraser to remove the bodies and faces of anonymous people found in newspapers. She collected the eraser residue of each individual and stored them separately in tiny glass vials. Presented are a few of the newspapers, in which we can see large blurred areas where she has erased, a display case filled with hundreds of glass vials, arranged and labeled like scientific specimens, and accompanied also by a list which documents each person erased (the newspaper and date they were taken from) and links it to the corresponding vial. A tribute to the "extras" in our everyday life and a reminder of the many things that go unsaid, unnoticed, or unrecognized.
- Teresa Solar Abboud and Belén Zahera in Salón, Madrid:
Shown within the Swab Seed programme, curated by David Armengol and representing independent spaces dedicated to contemporary art, Salón presented a compelling exhibition of ceramics. Based on a text from Gulliver's travels, the project explores the physicality of language, playing with ways of representing words as objects, giving shape to a gesture or a vocal cord. Teresa Solar Abboud, for example, materialised sign language by moulding her clay based on the gestures, spelling out words like "chicken" by putting together the shapes imprinted by her hands when forming each letter. The objects were arranged on a shelving unit, and moved around each day and combined in different ways, creating new dialogues and connections every time.
- Luisa Jacito, German Portal and Gloria Martín in Galería Silvestre, Tarragona:
I loved all the artists presented by Galería Silvestre and the way they presented them, but the highlight was discovering these three fantastic and captivating artists. Luisa Jacinto has a way with colour and brushstrokes, her paintings transmit a kind of serenity, as well as retaining a sense of mystery which keeps the viewer wondering what is happening on the canvas. Germán Portal's paintings have a surreal edge. His large and striking painting, Figura al Sol, is clearly inspired by Picasso's Nude Standing by the Sea, but in Portal's version the figure is a structure made from cardboard templates. In this humorous series, Vanguardismo DIY, he questions the aura and glorification around certain works of art and artists. Gloria Martín's paintings are simple but contemplative and clearly thought-out. She takes everyday objects and visions and by virtue of the attention she shows them, she gives them an importance, turning them into mysterious and meaningful objects.
- Javier Ayuso in 3k Art
3k Art is an online art platform which participated in the fair within the MYFAF programme of young galleries. What stood out the most in their stand was the work of Spanish photographer, Javier Ayuso. His series Walking Around (Sucede que me canso de ser perro) draws its inspiration from Pablo Neruda's eponymous poem in which he reflects on the uncertainties and absurdities of existence and says "it so happens that I'm sick of being a man". In his photographs Ayuso explores these concerns from the point of view of his dog, captured in moments where he appears almost human. Ayuso draws parallels between human and animals behaviors –encouraging the viewer to reflect upon the animal qualities which can perceived in human behavior as much as the human qualities seen in animals.

Afterwards, I was initially looking for a relationship. I guess you could say I was a bit naive walking into situations. But I soon learned that men (some, not all) will lie to ahem, get to the land of milk and honey, I learned that lesson the hard way. Everything would be sweet in the beginning, non-stop text messages and flowing conversation. The minute we had sex (well maybe a bit after), all of a sudden I hear "Oh, I'm busy" or even worse, nothing–you know, the no call or text back.
So because I became the unofficial brand ambassador for picking bad dudes, I've since, unconsciously built a wall. (Dear Lord, now I sound like a girl).
Since I have been hurt in the past, i.e. finding out via Facebook the guy I was with was "friends" with a busty brunette, or getting a phone call from another guy's girlfriend asking "so am I the side chick or are you?" I won't even allow myself to get excited about a guy, which in my mind means I won't even take a date seriously.
I think I've conditioned myself to believe that I'll always get disappointed (at best) or hurt. So when I'm on a date, I'm cordial, funny even flirtatious, but I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Plus, the unwritten rules when it comes to dating are so confusing! Who should text who first? When you get a text, how long should you wait before responding so you don't look thirsty? Is it okay for you to initiate a potential hang-out? If you two have sex, does that mean you two are exclusive or does it mean you both can poke other people on Facebook?
Am I ready for a full-fledged relationship? No. But I need to learn how to go on dates, enjoy them for what they are and not 30 minutes in expect us to melt into a relationship.
Since my last relationship failure, I haven't been on not ONE date, despite having a small hunger pang for it in the pit of my stomach. The problem of not knowing how to date has morphed into a issue of not knowing how to meet a guy. On top of that, I've departed from those old-fashioned rules of waiting for a man to pick me and I'm proactive about flirting with men. But, this hasn't merited me anything or anyone, for that matter.
Is there something I'm missing? It's a like piece of the puzzle missing. I can get a man's attention just fine. But it's getting them to date me and stay tuned in that's causing me to wonder if it's me.
Someone help! What do I do? How do I turn my bad luck with men into something fun, flirty and full of good times?

HU is an ancient name for God. When you sing HU, you open your heart to the Light and Sound of God.
Here is a simple spiritual exercise to try. First, close your eyes and look gently to a point between your eyebrows. Then, softly sing HU (pronounced like the word "hue") Now sit quietly for a few minutes. Watch and listen for the presence of God. It may come as a light or a sound, or in some other way.Harold Klemp

KAILUA-KONA » By springtime, Kailua Village may already have a spring cleanup well under way.
» Kailua Village Business Improvement District: www.kvbid.org
» Waikiki Business Improvement District Association: www.waikikibid.org
"Kailua Village is at a crossroads," said Eric von Platen Luder, who helped lead the Kailua Village effort. "We can assess ourselves now and recover the gem that was once a proud seaside village with an astounding heritage. Or we can choose to keep the things status quo and sadly watch our village further deteriorate."
First on the list of improvements are safety and cleanliness.
Business owners and residents have become frustrated by blatant drug activity and related problems, such as property crime, violence, homelessness and litter.
Some older buildings are in disrepair, public areas are run down and vagrants pester pedestrians.
"The real work begins now," he said. "We have the opportunity to make a difference."
Residents had a list of complaints and anecdotes.
One woman's San Francisco police officer son-in-law was offered illegal drugs repeatedly along Alii Drive; one man visiting relatives was advised by hotel employees not to go into Kailua Village as it is not safe; restaurant and bar employees fear walking alone to their cars after work; pedestrians are forced into the roadway to avoid cracks and unsafe sidewalk paving; and an online chat forum cautioned against visiting the village after dark.
District organizers hope those stories will be a thing of the past.
Once Mayor Harry Kim signs off on it -- which is expected shortly -- an election will be held to seat a board of directors and bidding will start on contracts for 24-hour security services and additional janitorial services.
The nonprofit improvement district, which is the first on the Big Island and follows the examples of Waikiki and Fort Street Mall on Oahu, will have a first-year budget of $780,000. It does not replace county services, but supplements them. Residents and businesses will be assessed a fee based on property values.
While the concept dates back almost a decade, von Platen Luder, a former Kona Kohala Chamber of Commerce president and longtime Kailua-Kona restaurateur, said the community got serious about cleaning up the village in 2003.
The county offered up $60,000 in seed money and a 15-member board got to work, culminating in the Council's official seal of approval this week.
Kona Councilman Angel Pilago, who has supported the effort from the beginning, said he is satisfied the final draft addresses residents' concerns about escalating assessment fees, accountability and transparency.
"It's deemed to be a very important project by everybody. The final bill ensures everything will be measured, scheduled and there will be a review process," he said. "This is the beginning of a new way of planning. It opens up the way for lots of communities to address quality of life issues."
The Kailua Village district is modeled closely on the Waikiki Improvement District.
Approved by the Honolulu City Council in 2000, the Waikiki group set about constructing a police substation, cracking down on prostitution and street performers and beautifying entry points into the world famous resort destination, which led to investment by Outrigger Resorts and Donald Trump.
Also in Honolulu, Fort Street Mall kicked off the state's second effort in 2002. It led to a safer, cleaner area, attracted more public activities and resulted in increased business.
One of the most notable early improvement districts targeted New York City's Times Square, which in the early 1990s was just as famous for its pornography, pickpockets and prostitutes as for its nearby Broadway theaters.
Since its initiative, crime has been halved, homelessness has dropped and the hotel rooms now claim some of the city's highest occupancy rates.

Today's JS reports that the park board is worried over flaws in Peoria (Glen Oak Zoo) Africa! exhibit. I quote the article, "Board member unanimously approved $63,915.00 for River City Construction to haul away excess dirt for the new Africa! exhibit at the Peoria Zoo--and they weren't too happy about it."
"It's hurting both us and the contractor. Nobody is winning on this. It's not a good deal. But we have to do it", said Superintendent of Planning, Rebecca Fredrickson.
I have some questions which I have posed to the writer of the JS article, Terry Bibo, such as where is this dirt being hauled to? As a reporter on the project, she says she does not know.A landfill? As a conservationist and an environmentalist, I certainly hope not.
What happened to all the beautiful trees that were cut down to make room for the zoo expansion? Did they go in landfill? Ms. Bibo says the trunks are being used to build the zoo. I find it ironic that Park Superintendent Bonnie Noble made a comment during a board meeting when the zoo expansion was being presented and when asked by a board member for a copy of the proposal, she answered that by saving paper "she was saving trees". She also indicated some of the board members wouldn't understand all the complex terms in the proposal anyway.
The taxpaying public who help fund this expansion knows little about what is happening such how much of the $32 million planned expansion is going to be open to the public and when? What will be the admission fees? Where is the parking lot? How are the proposed entrances to the zoo (the PlayHouse would be located by the entrance to the new Peoria Zoo, JS, 2/5/04) being constructed or reconstructed and who is paying for this? The city councilpeople I talked to say they are not aware of any changes in entrances that would cost the city money.
STS, an engineering firm, said they provided the engineering and design services to the PPD for the initial $19 million zoo expansion that is part of an overall proposed $125 million expansion, stated in an advertisement in IB last month.
Proposed $125 million dollar expansion? Is this $125 million flying under the cover of "transparency" or did everybody know about this other than me?
A few month ago a park official made statements that indicated the park is "flush" with money. Yet the $32 million dollar zoo was to open in 2008, park headquarters would by now be in the remodeled old IDOT building by 2007 and that the Children's Playhouse would open in 2007. (Journal Star, 2/5/04).
All indications indicate the park is not "flush" with money and will need much more from the taxpayers, local, state or federal; its all taxpayer money. And need it by next year or sooner. Of, course, they could always float new bonds. Principle, interest and the bond funds borrowed will need to be re-paid by somebody.
Any factual comments on this site clarifying the situation at the PPD will be appreciated.

"Zooillogical" - Part 5

- Merle Widmer said...
I know the company that got the bid but don't blame them; they are not in the non-profit business, I understand will haul away approximately 200 7 ton or 100 14 ton tandem, truckloads of dirt. This dirt on the market sells for about $12 a ton..
One park board person said they were not aware that someone could make a double profit on the deal.
I emailed the JS reporter, Terry Bibo, who attended the board meeting at which this $63,000 expenditure was approved to ask where the dirt went.
She said she didn't know.
Go figure.

I also witnessed other contractors hauling the dirt away for no charge. Why should they pay the contractor that was awarded the no-bid contract when fill is worth approximately $12 a ton?

Sakat Chauth, Sankashti Chauth Vrat
Enthusiastic and die-hard devotees of Lord Ganesha's leave no stone unturned on Krishna Paksha Chathurthi by observing a strict fast namely the Sankashti Chathurthi for their favourite deity, Ganesha. However in North India, the very same Krishna Paksha Chathurthi goes by the name of Sakat Chauth that comes up during the month of Magh. In place of Lord Ganesha, Hindu female diety, Goddess Sakat is worshipped and the fast of Sakat Chauth is observed by mothers for the welfare of the sons in the family.
A temple in the name of Goddess Sakat Chauth Mata exists in Sakat village of Rajasthan. One may reach this temple from Alwar by travelling a distance of approximately 60 kilometers whereas from Pink City Jaipur the distance to cover would be 150 kilometers. The temple is well known in the village and has a legendary story of Sakat Chauth Mata, an epitome of kindness and compassion. Complete details regarding the temple, its rituals and worship, from the Sakat Mata Temple itself. Besides worship of Goddess Sakat Mata, Lord Ganesha is also worshipped on Sakat Chauth to invoke blessings for good luck and good tidings. Other names for Sakat Chauth include names such as Vakrathundi Chauth, Sakata Chauth, Til Kuta Chauth and the Magh Chauth.

After the surviving the tornado that ripped through Tuscaloosa, Birmingham and the rest of Alabama on Wednesday night, Patty Bullion began to notice random photos and documents washing up in her front yard. Figuring they belonged to somebody, she began posting them in a public Facebook group to see if anybody would claim them. They did.
Yearbook pages, traffic tickets, mortgage notes ultrasound photos, a quilt and a photo of some woman having a lot of fun on a mechanical bull. Bullion came across all of these things and couldn't bear to just throw them away.
"As I was picking them up, I was thinking that I'm picking up people's lives here, and I've got to find a way to get this back to them," she said.
According to the AP, over 600 lost items have been posted in the group (by Bullion and others), and nearly 40 items have been claimed. We scoured through the many, many objects and picked out a few of the more interesting items lost in the Tornado. Hopefully they get back to their rightful owners! [Facebook via AP]

House and flowers
There is also our back yard with tall Rose of Sharon bushes and some other decorative grasses and plants, along with some Hollyhocks and cone flowers. The grass is not perfect, you will see dry spotty patches, but trust me this is much better than the past two months.
So here are a few shots to enjoy and thanks for looking.

It's WI State Fair Time again
We start out with the delicious WI products that we take in from honey, potatoes, cheese curds, flavored milk and all things yummy.....cream puffs.
All the WI animals are also there. From all kinds of varieties of roosters, bunnies, pigs, cows and horse and everything in between. The barns are loaded with big eyed animals that are gorgeous.
Cream Puff are a big staple item and I took pictures of the kids that work that booth, from cutting the baked cream puffs, to making the cream, filling the puffs, topping and powder sugaring the tops. They are beautiful to look at and even better to eat.
We did lots of walking and saw lots of different people have a great time.
The Horticulture building has the award winning items like, flowers, fruits, veggies, canned goods-the display was gorgeous as well as the canned items themselves, baked goods of all kinds from breads,cookies, brownies, and even meats and dips etc., handmade items of all kinds including quilts(Laura Krasinski entered her quilts and I saw the one of her daughter Jessi with a BLUE first place ribbon---congrats Laura!! shown in the last picture at the top), hand stitched items, clothes, wood working and everything in between. Photography is shown as well---many beautiful pictures. There is so much to see and appreciate. I am partial to the cakes, which I show a few of, as I used to enter that category! Super fun.If you like any kind of artwork, you will find something to stare at in awe.
Also, around the park area are little wooden photo opportunities where you can stick your face in a hole and get a funny picture. You will see a few of those as well. We cannot help ourselves.
Lastly, we always have flavored milk at Senator Herb Kohl's booth! The milk is .25 CENTS a cup and you can choose from, banana, vanilla-cherry, strawberry, chocolate, root beer, and we each had lots of milk. Doesn't it sound great? Well it was! And to our surprise, the Senator was there and so I took a picture of Earl and Amber with him as well! He was happy to pose!! That was our day. We heard some music, Amber bought a cd of a neat tropical island sounding band that was there. She will listen to that driving and said it calms her. :)
The WI State Fair is a great place. We missed the Kids From WI, that sing,play musical instruments and dance...as they were only on tonight at 8 p.m. and we knew would be gone by then, but we always enjoy their show and the pig races. Yes, there are actual racing pigs and they run for oreos. Something you have to see if you are ever here. Hope you enjoy my pictures!

Published at Sunday, April 21st, 2019 - 06:27:29 AM. Storage Cabinet. By Rosamonde Laporte.
Garage storage cabinets are mainly of durable steel construction, to better withstand their rugged and long-term usage. It is not uncommon to see wood or resin cabinets in garages, though. In addition, sports lockers, wall cabinets, and mobile garage storage cabinets are now available. Garage storage cabinets can be easily mounted on a wall or can be kept in any corner of the garage. Most of garage storage cabinets are off-floor mountable, to help prevent pest infiltration.
Cabinets that are assembled still need their locking handles assembled post delivery, due to concerns with damage during transport. Remember that even though unassembled storage cabinets are cheaper in price, they also have a lower load capacity per shelf and will typically take 30 to 45 minutes to assemble. If time is more important than money, we would definitely stay away from unassembled unless you have a staff to help.

A foodie's quest finally realized.
Segovia, SPAIN – Last September, on a trip with my mom to Spain we took a day trip from Madrid to Segovia. The one thing she kept talking about, besides the aqueduct and the alcazar that supposedly inspired Disney's rendition of the castle in Sleeping Beauty, was the "cochinillos." An icon of Segovian gastronomy, the cochinillo is simply a suckling pig. Due to the unorthodox timing for meals, from an American's perspective, and an elderly mother that could not eat rich foods after a certain point in the day, we never did experience the iconic delicacy.
So on a subsequent trip to Spain with my family I was determined to make it happen. After a few minutes of research with the aid of Google, I chose Jose Maria Restaurante right off of the Plaza Mayor.
Call it absentmindedness, call it "not really paying attention when your mother is talking to you," somehow in my mind's eye I interpreted "suckling pig" as "succulent pig." Even though the description on the menu described the "cochinillo" as "milk fed only" it still didn't hit me.
Depending on your placement on the carnivore scale you would consider what happened next either an epicurean revelation or a full blown, gastronomical nightmare. Apparently I am somewhere in the middle.
In the midst of my delightful naivete, whilst sampling Iberian ham croquetas and trying to save my Spanish rosado for the main event, I heard "oohs and ahhs" over my shoulder. I turned to see our waiter flourishing a large plate as if he was revealing the holy grail.
And there it was, right before my eyes, a cochinilllo, a baby pig, no more than 3 weeks old, literally taken from its mother's breast –hence milk fed only–roasted to a crispy, golden brown. When I expressed my revelation my kids responded, "Mom! Suckling pig! What did you think it was??"
"I don't know," I said — "honestly I didn't really think beyond the achievement of the experience. How am I going to explain this in my story?"
"I wouldn't mention it," my daughter Temperance said as she rolled her eyes and shook her head.
Our waiter, Valentin, a 25 year veteran of this Segovian establishment, then placed the piglet on a large butcher block in the center of the dining room. As part of a ritual to demonstrate how perfectly cooked and tender the meat is, Valentin then handed a thick white porcelain plate to one of the patrons and invited her to crack it's skull and carve it into quarters for the room full of wide eyed diners.
Once the show was over, a quarter of the "cochinillo" was placed on our table with the little hoof still intact and I must admit it was the most, simple succulent piece of meat I have ever had. Seasoned with no more than salt water, the skin was crispy and light and the juice clear and flavorful. Along with a single bowl of "La Sopa Castellana" – a hearty, large, white bean soup flavored with local ham and sausages, the entire family was positively satiated.
For the grand finale, we shared a slice of another local icon, the Ponche Segoviano, a layered sponge cake with a cream filling, covered in marzipan. And lest we forget what we came there for in the first place, the assistant waiter Daniel swung by the table and gifted the girls with two miniature terra-cotta piggy banks to commemorate the occasion.
If you are interested in trying this at home you can find the recipe here: http://www.restaurantejosemaria.com/cochinillo-asado-segovia/
