Grand New Opening
We are proudly presenting our new store & workshop at Noor Complex, 1st Floor, Main Bazar, opposite post office.
Since last few years, I was looking for a better place and it was really hard to find a space like the one I am having now!
It was last year only that one of my friend was leaving this new space and without taking much time I took it on rent. I have entirely changed the outlook and interior of the space by using only wood. I wanted to combine the traditional and contemporary design. It took me around 9 month to complete the interior design and the outlooks, many of my friends helped me in selecting the colours and the material. This new space is five times bigger than the old one so I divided the space into two part, one is for weaving and knitting studio and the front side for show room which is at the corner. Finally I managed to open it on 22nd April 2016 and it was inaugurated by Sh.Tsering Sandup, Executive Councillor for Handloom and Tourism LAHDC Leh.
In our new shop you see how to weave a cashmere shawl. Now we can weave & knit customise design on order and it will not take more than three days (depending on design and colour combination).Three Ladakhi Ladies are working there now as well.
The old shop at Sankar Labrang Complex, Main Bazaar Road, will keep open until September.

The old saying, "God give me the ability to change what I can, accept what I can't, and the wisdom to know the difference" should be engraved in the mirror of every business leader. How many times have we raced down blind alleys or driven to the airport just when our ship is coming in? Let's be honest: "business owner" is a euphemism for "control freak." Those of us who like being in charge are white-knuckling it during these times of extreme uncertainty, when:
Yet, we must keep making decisions. Business goes on.
When time, money, and energy are scarce, you must concentrate on two fundamental functions to drive growth:
In each of these areas, you need to know which mountains are moveable and which won't budge. In sales and marketing, you can't easily change:
As a small business owner, you can't control what the market dictates. Power players like AT&T can move sales by slashing prices temporarily, but a self-employed plumber, a family dry-cleaning business, or even a local manufacturer can't dramatically change customer demand. For one thing, a smaller company doesn't have the market reach to get the message out, and it probably lacks the resources to sacrifice profit for increased sales.
In operations, delivery, and fulfillment, you can't easily change:
Short of putting your banker in a stranglehold, you can't dramatically reduce your cost of borrowing, and you can't hire and keep quality staff, or purchase quality supplies, for half of what your competitors are paying.
So, where should you focus your efforts? In sales and marketing, you can change:
Be creative! For example, a business specializing in snow removal can attract year-round revenue by offering customers 12-months of property enhancement services. A local computer store—unable to compete online and large computer stores on price alone—can bundle training, support, and repair services with each sale. A family-owned travel agency can woo customers with unique packaged tours, complete with limo service to the airport and other perks, to distinguish itself from Internet brands like Expedia.com that focus on price alone.
In operations, delivery and fulfillment, you can change:
An assembler can't get his widget supplier to cut prices, but he can choose to buy widgets from Far East suppliers. A carpenter, who sells two lines of furniture, one finished and one unfinished, can eliminate the unfinished line if it is unprofitable. In other words, you can't control the market—but you don't have to let it control you.
As a small business owner with little control over supply and demand and limited influence on vendors, customers, or competition, you can exercise clout in the way you choose to respond. The key is to pick the battles you can win.
Several years ago, the world was treated to a powerful example of an individual who showed grace and resilience in responding to events beyond his control. At the 23rd mile of the Olympic men's marathon, a fanatic tackled Vanderlei de Lima of Brazil. Thrown off course and visibly shaken, he lost the lead. Few would have blamed him had he quit the race, but instead he entered the Olympic stadium in third place, holding off both the World Champion as well as the World record holder. As the crowd roared, he made light of his predicament by holding his hands out like a wounded airplane sputtering home on one engine. By making the best of adversity, he received not only the Olympic bronze but also a special medal for sportsmanship, the respect of the world, and commercial endorsements worth far more than even the winner received.
Running your business is a marathon. You may be tackled and thrown off course, but by knowing how to adjust your stride you can avoid wasting energy running into obstacles that just won't move. With discipline and adaptability, you can choose your responses to chaos and create new and better opportunities.

We can help. You can overcome drug addiction and have a better life than you ever thought possible!
There are numerous drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs solutions to the people living in the Florence region. You will need to recognize each one of the types of treatment possibilities available in Florence, AB., so that you can choose the appropriate treatment option for yourself or a loved one. Choosing the right alcohol and drug rehab program in Florence is the central factor in the treatment of substance abuse, drug addiction and alcoholism. This information will help you to recognize your numerous treatment possibilities allowing an individual to have the maximum probability of a successful end result.
Let's examine the different alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Florence, Arizona options that correlate with the circumstances of the individual searching for rehabilitation.
Inpatient drug rehab in Florence, AB. is often a rehab choice best in case you need health-related intervention in the course of rehabilitation or clients with substantial drug use histories. People can develop physical and mental dependence to drugs even after a short period of time, so inpatient drug and alcohol treatment in Florence is regarded as the most effective rehab choice in nearly all situations. Due to substance abuse and addiction, women and men will frequently not be able to recover using the minimal services provided by outpatient treatment programs in Florence, Arizona where drugs continue to be easily accessible when they depart the outpatient facility. In addition, individuals in treatment who receive outpatient treatment rather than inpatient drug and alcohol treatment in Florence are still prone to damaging influences and conditions which might cut across their recovery process. If an individual resides with an abusive companion or maintains associations that entail substance abuse, any treatment activities in outpatient rehabilitation are done in vain. This is why in-patient drug rehab in Florence, AB. is going to result in more beneficial outcomes that may prove lasting as opposed to an outpatient alcohol and drug rehab program where advantages could be very limited and acute.
In Florence there's both short-term and long-term inpatient drug treatment. Short-term is a 30-day center, while long-term inpatient drug and alcohol rehab in Florence, Arizona is significantly more prolonged and rehab can last 90-120 days generally speaking. It is really an ideal setting for clients because it is a secure drug free setting where they're able to heal both mentally and physically without distraction. Ideally, women and men proceed inside a long-term in-patient drug rehab program in Florence for the maximum time frame allowed, to be able to deal with anything which may cut across their abstinence after they depart treatment. Due to the fact detoxing and becoming physically stabilized can require two to three weeks by itself, the 3 to 6 months in long-term in-patient drug treatment in Florence is going to be time wisely spent and a lot more effective than short-term programs.
The key aspect of all if you or someone you love is struggling with a drug abuse or addiction problem is to get it resolved right away, make calls and seek advice from experienced addiction professionals and have an assessment and rehab options to guarantee the greatest opportunity for a recovery.

Delhi is the capital of India- the largest democratic and 2nd most populous country in the world and the city has seen its rise and fall several times. New Delhi is the 8th city built by British.

Old Delhi was earlier ruled by Muslim Sultans for about 700years and later, it became the capital of the Mughal Empire between 17th & 19th centuries. Whereas New Delhi is an imperial and modern city, built by British, when they decided to move their capital from Calcutta in 1911.
The sightseeing of Old Delhi includes a visit to Jama Masjid- India's largest mosque, Red Fort- constructed by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, Rajghat- cremation site of father of Nation- Mahatma Gandhi and finally enjoy the rickshaw ride through the old streets of Chandni Chawk, the busiest market of Old Delhi.

Dear Artist,
I'm laptopping you from Ansel Adams's room in the beautiful old home of Mabel Dodge Luhan in Taos, New Mexico. It's now a B and B and conference center. In these hallowed rooms Mabel entertained some of the luminaries of her day — D.H. Lawrence, Georgia O'Keeffe, Nicolai Fechin, Walter Lippman, Marsden Hartley, Willa Cather and many others. Mabel was a maven of experimental thought, risky undertakings, free love, new art, new writing, socialism, anarchy and counterculture. In 1916, at age 37, while still in New York and in the process of getting a divorce from her second husband, she began thirty years of psychoanalysis and started a bi-weekly advice column for the Hearst newspapers.
With her fifth husband Tony Luhan, a Pueblo Indian, Mabel built this house in 1918. "Now I had come to the place where one life ends and another may begin," she wrote in her autobiography, "For the first time in my life I discovered I could trust someone always and that I could be trustworthy to someone always." FYI, we've put up a selection of Mabel Dodge Luhan memorabilia at the bottom of this letter. Mabel intuitively cultivated what she considered the right kind of talent and dropped those who were beneath her. Hers was the art of the salon. Often quiet and coy, then again flamboyant and bombastic, she flaunted her narcissism. Above all, Mabel was without fear. She felt writers, painters and intellectuals were naturally attracted to her and that she had a unique ability to bring out their best. "It is my gift to the world," she wrote.
Those of us who seek a quiet life, who don't do salons or put ourselves forward, can only reflect on the connections we might have missed. Success and fame in the arts often depends on who you know and being in the right place at the right time. To be invited to pass through Mabel's pueblo gates was worth a long journey by train and jitney. Though many thought her crazy, to be endorsed by her was of some consequence. Mabel's dance card reads like a who's who. These walls exude the spirit of some of the creative greats of the first half of the twentieth century. Is it possible some of this moxie can rub off on passersby?
Best regards,
PS: "I have always been myself and at the same time someone else; always able to be the other person, feel with him, think his thoughts, see from the angle in which he found himself." (Mabel Dodge Luhan 1879-1962)
Esoterica: Right now Natalie Goldberg, author of Writing Down the Bones is giving a yoga and writing workshop in Mabel's house. There's another workshop coming in August. "In silence we alternate between writing and meditation," says Natalie. "A cushion or chair is fine — sits are no longer than 30 minutes and some are shorter. We have timed writings and space each day for a nap, a solitary walk and individual writing. Instruction is available." I'm wondering how enforced silence might work in a painting workshop.
The Goldberg variations
by Angela Treat Lyon, Kailua, Hawaii, USA
I was at one of Natalie Goldberg's 10-day writing retreats in 1991 right there at Mabel Dodge Luhan's place. It was so wonderful to walk around town and see the effects of Georgia O'Keeffe, D.H. Lawrence and the other luminaries of that time who floated through or stayed a while. I never really appreciated what Georgia O'Keeffe painted until I went up to Ghost Ranch and saw the actual landscapes — or how she opened up the art world to female artists. And would that there was a Mabel Dodge Luhan today to mentor and help artists bloom. Incidentally, I love your letters. It's so cool to not just get your views of everything from acrylic soup to canvas and nuts, but to see the beautiful works of people like Paul deMarrais, Mary Moquin and Tatjana Mirkov-Popovicki. Thanks to everyone for being such a great community. It means the world to me when I finish a long day to be able to tune in here and let my eyes feast and heart fill.

Need to explain the value of silence
by Kit McDonald, Canada
You were wondering how enforced silence might work in a workshop. I took part in a watercolour workshop given by Anne Popperwell at Metchosin International Summer School of the Arts on Vancouver Island several years ago. She believed that we would be more involved in the painting process and thereby learn more if we didn't talk or chat during the workshop. Our concentration would be entirely on the painting process. Quite a few of the participants found this impossible to do. They reacted like bad children and giggled & laughed and defied her request for quiet. They also continued to repeat their old way of painting. Those who managed to become totally absorbed in the process did some of their best work ever. The silence really did work but it was difficult to shut out the jabber of those participants who were in defiance of Anne's request. I loved that workshop! Probably her request for quiet could have been explained a little more fully so that the participants were on board. Otherwise it was amazing.

Shutting out the chatter
by Peter Trent, Hawkesbury, ON, Canada
Have you not, on many occasions and in various ways, told us that painting is a one person deal and that we are always by ourselves; loneliness and self-examination are an essential part of the painting process even when sharing space with others? If one cannot insulate oneself from the surrounding chatter and hubbub of an atelier it is likely that whatever is produced will be of lesser quality.
Silence quells the artist ego
by Sandra Taylor Hedges, Cornwall, ON, Canada
I recently watched the movie of Georgia O'Keeffe's life and Mabel played an important part in her survival as an artist in a man's world. I think it was the flamboyant personality of Mabel that balanced the introverted Georgia. In the movie we see Georgia spending long periods of silence while painting the Taos landscape and while I watched I wished to see myself there deep in the silence of the moment. I think a silent art retreat would be a way for the artists to get out of their egos, spend time with something greater than his or herself and create.
Bob's virtual salon
by Janice Vogel, Senden-Bösensell, Germany
You write, "Those of us… who don't do salons or put ourselves forward, can only reflect on the connections we might have missed." Do you not realize that with your Twice-Weekly Letter you have created a virtual salon enabling worldwide participation? You provide a platform for connections to be made at anytime from anyplace. Thank you, from all of your readers. Perhaps we should start calling you Mabel!
Stewart Cubely's Painting Experience
by Blair Mann, Atlanta GA, USA
Enforced silence at a painting workshop is a wonderful idea. I have attended Stewart Cubely's Painting Experience, called "Process Art," several times where it is not allowed to comment on anyone's work, positive or negative, and it feels odd at first, but is extremely freeing. I have often thought this should be a standard for all workshops. At the end it's okay for the instructor to give a critique to all…
Another Cubely experience
by Virginia Maxfield, Maitland, FL, USA
Several years ago I took a workshop from Stewart Cubley of the Painting Experience. Although the group was large, our days were spent in silence, each of us creating from whatever was within. No critiques, no comments on others' work as we worked. Just blessed silence. In those three days, people who had never held a brush became painters of their own experiences and the process became sacred. Results were stunning. I can say that now that the workshop is over but what we all learned, even the few of us who paint each day, was that the mere allowing of color, line, shape to come forth without our controls is power – it was the most beautiful, freeing, and lovely of adventures.
(RG note) Thanks to everyone who wrote about Stewart Cubely. To get a better idea of his unique approach, please take a look at this video.

The lure of the Southwest
by Karen Gillis Taylor, Niwot, CO, USA
I was so excited to read this letter as I've been returning to New Mexico every year since I moved there for one year in 1985 to pursue my painting and create freelance illustrations for New Mexico Magazine. After my visit in 1985, I returned home, packed up my things and was there to live a month later. Like Mabel Dodge Luhan, the draw for creatives to the Land of Enchantment is strong, and for painters the light is noticeably different and appealing to those that love the full color spectrum and its nuances. The art and social life is welcoming to painters, and people are interesting. I meet people from many walks of life each time I go to visit. The history and cultural richness is an added inspiration to art lovers. The road trip spirit has been calling me again, so thanks for the nudge. I'm packing now…
Feels like family
by Diane Ericson, Ashland, OR, USA
I have a lovely connection with the Mabel Dodge Luhan House, too. I have been enjoying teaching a retreat at Mabel's every year in September for the past 13 years. Maria and Roland and the rest of the staff feel like family. My teaching partner and I look forward to our creative time there too. Here is a link to our workshop, Design Outside the Lines, at Mabel Dodge Luhan House.

Enjoy the past comments below for At Mabel's house…
Le Repos is very flowing and reflective. I could not figure out why something distrubed me at first. After a few minutes, it was the chair leg hanging down from the young ladies thigh. It was 'distracting.' Other than that, I felt the relaxation of the human form and perhaps the "nothingess" she was experiencing. The chair and body flows very well. There is a "oneness" which is gratifying. This painting talks to me. Nice painting other than the little distraction that I might have made less significant.
I've especially enjoyed these last two posts as I've lived partway between Santa Fe and Taos for many years and am always glad when a visitor reminds me how special this area is. Is it possible to see the familiar with new eyes or is it necessary to actually go to a new place to have that experience?
I recently watched the movie of Georgia O'Keeffe's life and Mabel played an important part in her survival as an Artist in a man's world. I think it was the flamboyant personality of Mabel that balanced that introverted Georgia. In the movie we see Georgia spending long periods of silence while painting the Taos landscape and while I watched I wished to see myself there deep in the silence of the moment.

"For the first time in my life I discovered I could trust someone always and that I could be trustworthy to someone always."
This is freedom to me.
I believe you are right about the couch leg, it is at a weird angle, I think for the perspective to be correct it should come down at different angle. That is likely why it distracts.
While you are in Taos visit the Taos Museum of Art and the Nicoli Fechin Hosue if you already have not.
A film you may enjoy is Local Color filmed in Louisiana but it is supposed to take place in New York and PA. It is semi autobiographical story of the painter, film maker George Gallo. I think you will enjoy seeing both.
I love Mabel's house and Taos! Thanks for sharing it. I also love Natalie Goldberg's (never met her) work. Lucky you!
I think a 30 minute meditation daily before each painting session would be the best of all worlds. Thought you'd appreciate the feedback.
I've attended the ISS Taos watercolor seminars for the last two years so I know you are enjoying Taos.
While reading your last letter the expression that comes to my mind is "You are part of everyone you meet." I don't know about everyone, but certainly many. Is is similar to painting.
After taking workshops and classes I decided that if I wanted to benefit from the instruction I should do everything they told me to do while I was in the class. Later I could use or not use what I liked. The more artists or works of art you come in contact with the more you have to choose from. Then comes the quiet time when you sit down with your information and apply it to your painting.
I found this interesting because while Mable was building in New Mexico, Mathilda Dodge Wilson 10 years later built the Wilson Theater in Detroit. It ended up being the home for the Detroit Symphony and later after the Symphony build its own venue, housed the touring dance companies.
The Dodge Family did a lot of good – full of eccentricity, but good.
The Dodge Mansion at Meadowbrook Center is set on incredibly beautiful grounds and is the summer home of the Detroit Symphony in the pavilion. Don't you know that every wealthy family had to have a pavilion???
Just want to say a BIG THANK YOU for all the wonderful information you share with everyone.
You probably don't remember me, I've only written you once….but hearing you're in Taos inspires me to invite you south to beautiful Las Cruces, where pecans and chiles grow under the towering Organ Mountains.
My home/studio/gallery is full of paintings lined up for a show at the NM Farm and Ranch Museum. I deliver them Tuesday, and would be happy if you feel like stopping by for a meal and some art talk before or after.
I breathe art. My old adobe farmhouse is full of art and food and good karma from years past. I enjoy your blog and Love Letters, and welcome you to the secret town of the south.
Lucky you!! I love Taos! What an incredible art place!!
My husband, Jack, had the amazing privilege of visiting Georgia O'Keeffe at her house in the early '70s. While you are in those parts, and if you haven't already done so, do spend some time in the Loretto Hotel at Santa Fe; the lounge is a wonderful inspiration.
Doris McCarthy's perspective of the place and its history was fascinating.
Yes, I would definitely go to Mabel's for a painting workshop and silence. Marvelous idea I think. That is if I could afford it! Or perhaps something in New Brunswick? I could find the yoga teacher, we could figure out the meditation stuff easy enough and you could do the painting instruction!
While in Taos check the gallery Taos Blue. It's more of a craft gallery vs. painting but still fun to visit. And Sue Westbrook, the owner, is a great lady!! Please tell her I sent you.
I've been to Mabel's House….you can feel the ghosts of Mabel and her famous friends all around you.
i am now back on Poipu beach for the 30th year. Two years ago, I was where you are now! So artists and art takes us many places in our lives at year 1976, at 36 I traveled to Stonehenge with my History of Art notes from U of Manitoba/Architecture School. Then flew to Greece, Italy and Germany for a "first look" at what I had learned. I now live in B.C. with cold winters to escape from and
I am now still "filling myself" with experiences, in my 7th decade. I am an artist born to express my world within and without!!
you too seem to know what artists must keep doing….as well as painting
I taught a number of plein- air workshops there in the eighties and always loved that place. During the filming of "Easy Rider" Dennis Hopper bought Mabel Dodge's place. They say he almost lost everything there because of the drug scene at that point in time. As you step of the office, turn left, Hopper's room was the last down on the left. That is where I stayed when I taught in Taos. That place sure has the history!
Yes, it's a magical place!
Loved the note Robert especially the success and fame right place right time sentence. If you are still in this area you may want to visit CHIMAYO; there is a church there of high spiritual aura. It was a very moving experience; for me, and one that has remained.
Years ago an area gallery featured Indian sculptor Allan Houser. "HAOZOUS", his Indian name. Awesome too.
You're with Natalie Goldberg? OH MY! Tell her I have a 1986 copy, signed "For Debbi" of Chicken & In Love! I LOVE her work! HAVE FUN! WISH I had known about this one at Mabel's house.
When in Taos be sure to get to the E.I. Couse house, studio and foundation.
Mabel was a handful. She processed people. She was extremely jealous of everyone, men and women. Everyone came to her because of her mystique and reputation. Then they had to get away from her. Everybody made a joke out of it. There were cartoons about her in The New York Times. Tony was the only one she could stand because he said little and played solitaire while she went on. Read the biographies. She was in love with Indians — noble savages — and Tony was her ornament. She had to pay off Tony's family to get him to come and stay at her house.
And this is why I live in Taos, New Mexico
Your writings on Mable Dodge Lujan and Mabel House up in Taos are making me nostalgic. I was fortunate to be introduced to Northern New Mexico through the eyes and tales of an elderly friend who moved to NM while Dorothy Brett was still alive and who also knew Nicolai Fechin. My friend, R. Pete Colgrove, was also a very good friend of Lawren Harris whom you probably know had a NM connection, being a member of the Gurdjieffian movement. Harris was deeply into Theosophy. Anyway, not to digress, Pete took me to Mabel House where my first night was spent in the "Starlight" room at the top that had all-around glass. It was magical! The bathroom was one where D. H. Lawrence had painted the windows. I made several pilgrimages to Mabel House over the years to paint , and have stayed in various rooms, including the O'Keeffe room. One time, I was able to purchase a pair of earrings made by one of Mabel's granddaughters who was a jeweler/silversmith. Pete was able to point out (with stories) the Lawrence House, surrounded in the springtime by Persian lilacs; Brett's house that became a very fine restaurant that housed a fair collection of Brett's work; and he took me up to the Lawrence Ranch where D. H. escaped to to write. At the time his old typewriter was still on the screened porch. It is there that the huge Ponderosa pine that O'Keeffe lay under and painted from that perspective, is situated. Also, there is, as I recall, the monument to D.H. Lawrence and Freida, there, where their bodies may or may not be buried. (There was some question as to whether or not this was entirely true). Pete also introduced us to Frank Waters and Barbara, and through their eyes I learned a lot more about Taos and New Mexico in the old days. Barbara still lives in Arroyo Seco; but she is not very well.
Not only are your books worth having, but all of the valuable correspondence from the rich resource of your readers is brilliant. Thank you to all who participate.
I read your 'Mabel's House' email the day before I visited Taos. I had never heard of Mabel Luhan before your letter. As soon as I got to Taos I went straight to this incredible house (almost interrupted Natalie Goldberg's yoga class at the convention center). What a great house! I enjoy reading each of your weekly emails and would have thanked you in person if I had run in to you during my self-guided tour of Mabel's House. Thank you for introducing me to such a wonderful place.
Last fall my cousin organized a week-long retreat at my families' summer camp on a lake in Maine. I painted, one cousin composed music, one wrote, another person worked on editing a story, one women created a website and another friend did woodworking. The only rule was no talking after breakfast until dinner. We had a sign-up sheet for chores and cooking dinner. That way, you could plan your own time and didn't have to feel guilty about not helping prep dinner or doing the dishes if it wasn't your turn. This was especially liberating for the hosts . I highly recommend the no talking rule, it gives you permission to not be social and not to be considered rude. (although we weren't so strict that you couldn't say hi in passing) Portland and Georgetown
Mabel claimed to have empathy, but like a lot of people who claim it, she had little of it.
I slept and worked in the room where Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda edited "Easy Rider." There were some old tokes lying around in there.
It was so nice to read your latest 'At Mabel's house'. I am a fan of Georgia O'Keeffe and it is on my bucket list to visit that part of our world. I love to try and connect with the icons who have influenced me so. They seem to offer the encouragement that I need even though they no longer walk among us.
The Stewart Cubely video at the top is interesting, but it also gives an idea what's wrong with American art education. Lightweight, self-indulgent, accepting low standards in the name of self expression and no interest in technique or quality. Fun for people with time on their hands, but not much use for anything but "freeing up."
One of the best art teachers I have experienced had a subtle gift for enforcing, oh so gently, a silent studio. She would present the day's challenge and allow us to talk at some length about our responses. Then we would very quietly get to work, and only talk occasionally and very quietly when she visitied each of us at our easels as we tackled the day's assignment. For some of us, nothing is more fatal to creativity than listening to others' aimless chatter as we are trying to work out a painting challenge. I bless her for this sensitive approach to teaching. Her name is Julia Hensley of Seattle, Washington.
We are surrounded by noise at every turn today. There are few repositories where one can get silence and allow your thoughts to run free. The studio is one of these places for me. The only interruption I will allow sometime is soft music. I also bought a car without a radio, so I could have quiet when going to and from a painting session. Also whenever painting in a group, I will not hesitate to tell a chatterer to takeit outside. My class is also a place where if talk is to take place, it has to do with what we are working on and nothing else. Constant chatter is for those who are not serious about art and use art as a social function. They learn the least and have the most trouble. It's hard to solve a problem when your mouth is constantly going. Unfortunately, this is a social problem today waht with all the devices we use and the need for constant interruption. We actually fear silence, for in that silence you might hear your heart ticking. And this reminds us we are mortal and time is running out.
Every July Lorne Loomer teaches Brush Explorations at MISSA, located just outside Victoria, BC. Canada. The studio is on the side of a hill, with large windows looking into the treetops. During the painting sessions he encourages silence. Not an enforced silence, but an friendly quietness that allows the students to focus on the dance of the brush. They are welcome to discuss their work and to socialize during the breaks. I am easily distracted so it is a pleasure for me to not have to listen to someone going on and on in the background.

As Motorola users are all too aware, while the company does an admirable job of trying to let users know about the Android update situation for each of its models, it has a nasty habit of going back on previous plans to bring updates to certain models. As such, whenever the company gets around to updating that list, we find ourselves walking on eggshells. So, what's the news today?
This update focuses on plans for Jelly Bean upgrades. To that end, Motorola lists a dozen models that it currently plans to bring Android 4.1 to. Some of the devices listed have ETAs attached to them; the three new Droid RAZR models to launch this fall should be getting Jelly Bean before the end of the year. The WiFi-only Xoom tablet may already have Jelly Bean, but the cellular-enabled version should also be seeing its Android 4.1 update arrive before 2013 rolls around.
Motorola also confirms that Jelly Bean's in the works for a number of additional phones, though it doesn't yet have a schedule to share for when the updates might become available. These models include the original two Droid RAZRs, the Atrix HD, Photon Q, Electrify 2, Droid 4, and the Droid Bionic.
If your Motorola handset isn't among any of these, don't count on seeing an official release of Jelly Bean for your phone from any US carrier. For the complete list, check out the source link below.

Little Mety had a heartbreaking introduction to life. As a kitten, he'd been found on the streets without a mother, cuddling next to his brother who had died shortly before. A kind woman saw that the kitten was still alive and rushed to help him, giving him to a foster home that would be able to give him the care he needed to survive. When Mety was evaluated, the vet was shocked! While the kitten was one week old, he only weighed as much as a newborn. He hadn't put on any weight, and without a mother to feed him, he should have died…but Mety was a fighter!The incredibly tiny kitten seemed to know that he'd found someone who would keep him safe. He loved his kitten milk, he loved his new foster mom, and he absolutely loved to cuddle! Within days, he had put on a lot of weight, and within weeks, he was waddling around and exploring!
He never shied from a new experience, and one of his favorite times of the day was bath time! Being surrounded by all of that warm water was super relaxing, and the extra cuddles made him feel safe!He might not have been given a fair shot at life, but he made up for it by never giving up!

A few days ago I had the opportunity to set up an iClick and iControl demonstration for the parents and professionals attending the Assert National Conference 2016. In this blog I'm going to talk about what I did and how it went on the day.
For background info on the iClick and iControl read these earlier blog posts: iClick mains controller and the iControl for iPad switching of toys. The blogs covere how to connect both to the iPad, customise the on-screen buttons and how to select the different switching modes.
iClick Sensory Lights and Sounds
The iClick can switch mains powered electrical equipment and I chose to demo a light and sound show; something that could easily be set-up in a young adults bedroom. I used a rotary disco light I bought from Amazon, an old radio tuned to a local station, the iClick and my iPad (4th generation) running the iClick app (downloaded from Apple's app store)
Rather than use the app's default buttons I took pictures of the light and radio and used them instead. I set both switch modes to 'latched' so that when pressed the light and music would stay on until the on-screen iPad buttons were pressed again. (I could also set them for a timed interval)
So how did it go?
iClick performed as expected. The light system worked well and it was clear from the discussion that parents liked the idea of some sort of light show. No problem with batteries as this light source uses a transformer I could plug into one of the iClick sockets. The radio also worked well – I know it looks a bit old but it still did the job.
If anything, the weakest link was the iPad battery. From full charge at 10:00 AM it dropped to around 20% by the time we switched off at 5:30 PM. That would be overcome if I'd connected the charger to the iPad – realistically something you would do if you were at home. On the day though I didn't want to be restricted by the charger cable.
iControl Toy Control
iControl is like the little brother to the iClick in that it is used with battery powered devices – typically 2 or 3 AA type batteries. This is typical of the switch adapted special needs toys we have on the Excitim's special needs toys website.
I customised the switch buttons in the iClick app in exactly the same way and this time used pictures of the two toys we took along. One was our Freddie Fish Bubble Machine and the other was the Little People Lift and Lower Fire Engine.
However, there needs to be a wired connection between the iControl and the toy. iControl comes supplied with two 3.5mm jack leads in the box. The leads are around 1.5 metres long which gives lots of flexibility to hide the iControl away from curious little fingers. Simply connect one jack plug to the iControl and the plug into the jack socket on the adapted toy.
I set the switch modes to 'direct' for both toys. For Freddie Fish that meant the switch needed to be pressed continuously to get a shower of bubbles. Whereas simply touching the fire engine button was sufficient to trigger the sounds and phrases on the toy.
With a little coaching the kids soon got the knack to what to do. With tablets now so well established in schools and at home many kids have figured out if a 'picture' is touched something will happen. Using the iControl or iClick is just the same.
So how did it go?
iControl also worked flawlessly. It is a far smaller unit that the iClick and could easily be hidden away under a chair, behind a desk or wherever is convenient. That would be better for those children who like to grab onto things. Battery life on the iControl was no issue at all and it lasted the day with ease; without us even thinking about a recharge. One question I had was 'how many times can the battery be recharged before it dies?' The answer is thousands of times.
Battery consumption on the iPad (3rd generation) was about the same as we experienced with the iClick demonstration.
The smaller overall footprint of this set-up makes it suitable for use of a table, desk or, with small toys, on a typical wheelchair tray.
Overall, the iClick and iControl demonstration worked very well and feedback from parents and professionals at the conference was very positive. Feel free to get to contact us if you have any questions about setting-up and using the iClick or iControl – I'll do my best to answer them and if I can't I know someone who will.

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela is one of the most quoted – and misquoted – people in the world. This is ironic given that for much of his adult life he could not be quoted at all.
In South Africa, quoting Mandela carried with it the threat of a criminal record and a possible prison sentence. Under the apartheid regime, people who were banned or imprisoned could not be quoted, and Mandela was successively banned from December 1952 and was in custody from 5 August 1962 until 11 February 1990.
Of course the words of an accused uttered in open court were exempt from this restriction, and the words he spoke at his October–November 1962 trial and his famous speech from the dock at the Rivonia Trial on 20 April 1964 were quoted in the media.
Despite this exemption, people still feared quoting him. The final words in his four-and-a-half-hour-long speech at the Rivonia Trial have become the stuff of legend in the history of the struggle against apartheid:
During my lifetime I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the African people. I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.
These words characterise the essence of Mandela and his comrades' courage, commitment and leadership in the struggle to end apartheid.
In the quarter-century following the end of the trial on 12 June 1964, a silence born out of fear more or less hung over the name Nelson Mandela within South Africa.
For decades it was uttered virtually only in secret or in defiance of the increasingly repressive tactics of the apartheid regime and its agents. Some of his words were smuggled out of prison and released by the African National Congress (ANC) in exile, but Mandela had effectively been silenced.
The silence was broken when, speaking from the balcony of the Cape Town City Hall on Sunday 11 February 1990, the newly released Mandela addressed a crowd of thousands of supporters, who had gathered on the Grand Parade to hear his voice, and an audience of millions through television and radio:
Friends, comrades and fellow South Africans, I greet you all in the name of peace, democracy and freedom for all. I stand here before you not as a prophet but as a humble servant of you, the people. Your tireless and heroic sacrifices have made it possible for me to be here today. I therefore place the remaining years of my life in your hands.
This time the whole world heard and read his words and he continued to be widely quoted. His words were publicised internationally: during the period in which he was locked in negotiations alongside his comrades for an end to white minority rule; when he was campaigning for South Africa's first democratic vote; upon his election and inauguration as president; during his travels through South Africa, Africa and the world; when he was carrying out his charity work; and upon his various retirements.
Even long after his official 'retirement from retirement' announcement on 1 June 2004, when he famously said, "Don't call me, I'll call you", we, at the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory, still process thousands of requests for the authentication of quotations.
We found that many of these, often lifted from websites purporting to contain accurate information about Mandela, were not correct. One of the main 'quotes' by which Mandela is misquoted contains, in actual fact, the words of American author Marianne Williamson from her book A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of a Course in Miracles. She wrote: "Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure." This quote, and especially Williamson's closing words, "As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others", are often incorrectly credited to Mandela.
Our aim in producing this book, therefore, was firstly to provide an accurate and extensive resource for the public and secondly to document in one collection a significant range of Mandela's quotes. The result is a collection of more than sixty years of quotations. In editing this book we were struck as much by the gravitas of his words – expressed when he was facing the death sentence in 1964 and in struggles against apartheid – as by their simplicity.
We were moved by the way in which his words directly link to his values and principles and these are what make Nelson Mandela one of the most loved and admired individuals of the twenty-first century. He chooses his words deliberately, he means what he says and he wants his audience to easily grasp their meaning. As he said on 14 July 2000:
It is never my custom to use words lightly. If twenty-seven years in prison have done anything to us, it was to use the silence of solitude to make us understand how precious words are and how real speech is in its impact on the way people live and die.
His emphasis on the importance of connecting with an audience through the clarity of words is further demonstrated by this quote from a speech he delivered on 21 September 1953:
Long speeches, the shaking of fists, the banging of tables and strongly worded resolutions out of touch with the objective conditions do not bring about mass action and can do a great deal of harm to the organisation and the struggle we serve.
Of course Mandela is also well known for his sense of humour and his ability to find amusement in even the most challenging circumstances. Frequently during our research we came across him making very amusing remarks. In 2005 he explained the value he placed on humour:
You sharpen your ideas by reducing yourself to the level of the people you are with, and a sense of humour and a complete relaxation, even when you're discussing serious things, does help to mobilise friends around you. And I love that.
We have selected more than 2,000 quotations from many thousands more to create sixty-three years of thoughts and sentiments by Mandela. The quotations have been divided into 317 categories within which they appear in chronological order, providing an interesting insight into how his ideas evolved and in many cases remained the same.
For example, the following quotations on the principle of non-racialism delivered in 1964 and 2005 respectively:
We of the ANC had always stood for a non-racial democracy, and we shrank from any action which might drive the races further apart than they already were.
I hope that our movement will always hold that commitment to non-racialism dear in its thoughts, policies and actions. It is that commitment, even in circumstances where we could have been pardoned for deviating from it, that amongst other things earned us the respect of the world.
Quotations have been selected from his speeches as far back as 1951, recorded interviews from before he was sent to prison, letters dating back to 1948, diary extracts including from his 1962 trip to Africa and the United Kingdom, as well as impromptu remarks, among others. We have, in the main, used full quotations and have provided citations in each case.
We can all honour Nelson Mandela by quoting him correctly and accurately and by recognising the contexts within which his words were uttered.

{Upon seeing these wedges James declared, "Well ain't nobody gonna mistake you for a doe in the woods!" Psssh, men!}
Recently James has been going to sleep around 6 am, which is just the worst really because it always, always wakes me up. And then I always have to pee. And then it's always only an hour before my alarm goes off. So generally I mumble some sort of whiny soliloquy that makes perfect sense to me, but James is all "What??"... for some reason he doesn't understand my half-awake, pre-sunlight ramblings. It's weird.
Anyway, so this whole scenario played out the other night and because it was very early in the week, with nothing but work and chores to look forward to, I was a little snippy when I barked, "James!"
Immediately he responded with "Don't yell at me! I went grocery shopping!" Only it was more like "DontyellatmeIwentgroceryshopping!" because he wanted to assuage the beastly 6 am version of myself. And then he lulled me back to sleep with his proud little monologue on all the food he bought us. 'I got strawberries, and salad fixings, and milk, and cheez-its...'
So two things: a. 24-hour grocery stores are pretty damn awesome. Almost as awesome as: b. James.
Grocery shopping for me in the middle of the night? That's probably about the most romantic thing you can do. Screw flowers.

A little poetry from my perspective. Working with veterans constantly reminds of how puny the idea of a god is when amputations, loss of sight and worse are not have no hope of restoration except for the gigantic talents of men and women that create prosthetics and perform life saving surgery.
Reduction in Force
Your attendance has been abysmal.
Your attitude leaves a lot to be desired. Your work habits have been at best inept.
You're lucky that you haven't been fired.
It's been hard not to take notice,
you haven't been around in some time.
At first, I just thought it was just age
playing its tricks on all our minds.
But, in fact, no one's ever seen you
in at least a hundred years or more.
I even heard you could cure some folks,
but they say you don't practice anymore.
They say you used to know everything,
knew the number before it was called,
but now you seem to have no memory
because you know nothing new at all.
They told me you could make a mountain
using nothing but a grain of sand.
Many claimed you could make seasons change
just by waving your hand.
They say you knew things before they happened,
that you had the entire universe wired in your mind
but now they mumble that you're in retirement
and have left all that extra work behind.
I sure heard a lot about you
and some of the things you've done,
but it seems that was so long ago
and since then there have been none.
Too bad you've been out of circulation,
because we sure could have used your help.
Things have been kind of bad around here.
You know how we like to hurt ourselves.
We've lost a few million people here and there. You know, small stuff like disease, war and plagues,
homicide, genocide, racism, division and dissension
but I guess that's all part of growing into a new age.
Could have used some help with the earth quakes,
hurricanes, tornadoes and weapons of mass destruction
floods, fires, crime, inquisitions, poverty and
radiation sickness, HIV, Alzheimer's and volcanic eruptions.
Sure could have used your help,
you know with planes falling out of the sky,
and people living on the street
just looking for a place to die.
We've got some new plagues,
but we have most of it in hand.
Probably not as good as you,
but no one knew your plan.
We're doing all right for now,
although you come around no more.
We still manage to get things done,
once we decided to close the door.
Folks still stop past to see your house.
Many still come at least once a week,
but they know that you're not really there
but still they hope they'll get a peek.
Sorry, I know it must be boring,
sitting here talking shop,
but there are still some folks waiting,
for your other shoe to drop.
Sorry about the big bang,
we didn't mean to disturb your sleep.
Of course while you were resting,
we were sorting through the heap.
Though you were the only one affected,
we're sorry about the reduction in force,
but I'm sure that you understand,
especially if you consider the source.
Well it's certainly been a pleasure
seeing and talking with you Bob,
but you know how it is with progress;
sooner or later, everyone's out of a job.

Residential Futures: Thought-Provoking Ideas on What's Next for Master-Planned Communities
After the housing bubble burst in 2008, many communities were hit hard by foreclosures, creating widespread homeownership losses for communities across the country. As the economy continues to recover and markets begin to stabilize, one thing is certain: the "old" normal will not return because consumer preferences are changing. Building on a 2012 ULI Spring Meeting panel discussion on the future of residential development, this discussion paper captures thought-provoking ideas on what's next for master-planned communities (MPC) from industry leaders in the ULI network. This discussion paper should not be considered an analysis of the market or a prediction of what will happen, rather it is a platform from which to engage in further discussion on the future of MPC development in general.
