Happy Belated Anniversary Mom & Dad
My parents celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on January 11th. I have a set of 8 x 10 black and white photos from their wedding. My friend scanned them for me. This is the only picture of I have my parents and both sets of grandparents. They had to move up their wedding date because dad's leave was changed at the last minute. The night was cold and icy, but the wedding went well.
Doesn't my dad look dapper in his Navy uniform? He joined the Navy when he was 17 near the end of WW II. He worked in the laundry room on a ship in the Pacific. His biggest war story is his ship was anchored next to the one where the Peace Treaty was signed at the end of the war. He still has his Navy uniform and his pea coat. When he dies my son will get those items.
My mom still has her wedding dress. She hasn't been able to wear it for years. I will probably take it someday. Not sure what to do with it, but I have plenty of time to think about it.
My dad has been in a nursing home since last summer. But on their anniversary the staff helped my mom have a celebration at the home. They had cake and balloons. My brothers made it. My mom has a cousin who was married within days of mom and dad's wedding and they have celebrated every major anniversary together in the last 60 years.
I never knew either of my grandfathers. But I did know both grandmothers. My maternal grandmother is the one who taught me to sew, crochet, do beadwork, and needlepoint. She lived with us until I was six years old and then married the widower across the street.
Not much quilting going on the last two days. I've been trying to decide what color thread and what designs to use for quilting my Birthday Garden Quilt. I have a butterfly stencil I'm going to use in the middle of each charm block. This morning I decided this is my quilt and I don't intend to enter it into a quilt show so I'm going to experiment with different quilt motifs and different thread colors. So today I treated myself today to 7 spools of Mettler silk finish thread: pink, navy blue, purple, yellow, red, green and white. Now the only step that's keeping from starting the hand quilting is marking the quilt. I'm going to experiment with marking and not marking the quilt too.
When I first joined Yahoo Groups I used to send in a quilt question about once a week to gather and assess the answers. I haven't done that in a long time so I thought I'd start asking a question here, hopefully once a week. If you take the time to answer I will aggregate the answers and post them here.
Here's the first question: What is your least favorite element to make in a quilt? Mine is curved pieces. I can't bring myself to cut them or sew them.

They all look happy -- that's a good sign *s* 60 years is quite an accomplishment -- Congratulations.
I have never thought about my least favorite part of quilting. I guess ironing the fabrics in preparation of starting a new project. A necessary part, but not a lot of glory in that step.
- bettsy said...
Happy anniversary to your parents.
Seems at the moment that my least favourite part is putting borders on - not that it is hard - but so many of my tops seem to stop there, and I really need to push myself. Maybe it is because after making the main part of the top I am ready to move on. This is the year of doing borders for me.
- Pam said...
Thank you for sharing some of your family history....60 years is awesome. My parents were just a few months short of that when my daddy died. What a great legacy to leave their children.
- May Britt said...
A lovely family story.
My least favorite part in quilting is the binding. All my friends teases me about that. When my dear mother was home (she is in a nursing home now) I used to bring her all my quilts that needed binding. But now I have to do them myself and I hate it :)
- Patti the Hardenbrook Girl said...
Wow! 60 years is wonderful! How neat they were still able to celebrate.
The part I like the very least is marking the quilt top for hand quilting. Don't have to worry about that usually for machine quilting thank goodness. I also hated to baste the sandwich together - one of the reasons I love having a long arm.
- The Calico Cat said...
Binding.... (curved piecing a close second becasue I am soooo visual.)
- Morah said...
Least favorite.....making the back and borders....
- Jeri said...
Congrats to your parents - this year would have been my parents 60th anniversary too - they both passed away 2 years ago.
Least favorite element? Hmmm I really don't care for set-in seams. When I have to do them, I sew them by hand instead of machine.
- Elaine Adair said...
I loved your memories of your folks and grandparents. It is so dear that you are combining that 'old fashioned' photo with this new technology.
My least favorite part of quilting is layering/sandwiching and basting - mostly because I have to do it on the floor, and my knees aren't cooperating. The smaller quilts can be done on a large sewing table I have - not so bad.
I LOVE to do the binding!
- Nancy said...
Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad!
My least favorite part of making a quilt would have to be a toss up between borders and binding.
- kjquilts said...
Well, if I have to be honest I'd say choosing fabrics. I know, that is everyone's favorite part! I love kits and fat quarter bundles. All the work is done for me. I don't even have a working stash...my fabric, even though I have a lot of it, doesn't really inspire me. Of course, it is absolutely great for scrap quilts and I do a lot of those.
- Katie said...
My least favorite part of quilting is having a dead line, so I don't do that very often. I also dislike the sandwiching but think maybe it won't be so bad now I've done it a couple times. Currently I'm frustrated with how my my fabric choices haven't worked together.
- Tracey @ozcountryquiltingmum said...
I've really never curved either. I will also only miter for bindings, not in the quilt itself.
- Tracey @ozcountryquiltingmum said...
And well done on the parent's 60th-if you had been more trouble they may not have got there so congrats to you as well!!

Before and After Pîrî Reis: Maps at the Topkapı Palace
It's a simple title but it doesn't prepare you for the treat in the Topkapı stables. The earliest maps on display in this exhibition (until May 20) are based on Ptolemy's Geography but we quickly move on to maps that show the development of Islamic cartography. And they are gorgeous. Some on vellum, some on paper, many gilded and illustrated so they can be appreciated as images as well as cartographic masterpieces.
Pîrî Reis was an admiral, geographer and cartographer in the 16th century who is best known for his Kitâb-ı Bahriye (Book of Navigation). His map of the world showed part of the Americas and the coast of Africa. Topkapı Sarayı may have one of the best collections of his work and many people will enjoy the exhibition for his maps alone.
But the exhibition has a broader focus and goes on to include a detailed chart of the Black Sea, the north and south poles, detailed plans of cities under siege and much more. One of the more unusual items is a scroll produced to thank Süleyman the Magnificent for the Arafat Water Project which channeled water to Mecca and Mount Arafat. On a smaller scale we see how water reached Topkapı Sarayı from the aqueduct of Valens. And yes, those maps are beautiful too.
A well illustrated catalogue is available in the Topkapı shops for 90TL and will soon be available from cornucopia.net, price £40. Enquires: firstname.lastname@example.com

Rocky Mountain Folks Festival Resounded With Resistance Of Current Political Happenings/
Woody Guthrie would have rolled in his grave this weekend, not in disdain, but in delight had he heard the music at this year's Rocky Mountain Folks Festival in the hills of Lyons, Colorado. In the spirit of Woody, along with Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, and so many others, the music of Folks Fest was charged with political messages, the call for solidarity, and the stand for social justice.
The festival opened with the Songwriter Showcase, and Heather Mae stole the show with two of her original songs truly about the times, one she introduced as, "my kind of love," and for the other, she addressed the significance of what happened in Charlottesville. After winning, she shared on her music Facebook page, "I performed 'Wanderer,' my song about being queer. I performed 'Stand Up,' my song about fighting discrimination. I asked the audience to stand with me and join the cause." And stand they did. She had the festival grounds filled with people standing and singing along, many with tear-filled eyes. You can watch her chilling music video for "Stand Up" here.
Heather Mae offered more insights into her performance, saying, "With everything that's going on right now, what a waste it would be if I didn't say something and use this opportunity to show that we can't stay silent anymore. I chose my songs that weren't necessarily the best for competition, but they were perfect for this platform. The mission I'm on right now is to make music that matters and that makes people think, and I feel like it was really heard, and that's the most validation I've ever felt. It's like the universe is saying, 'Good job, kid, keep writing the music you're writing' and I feel a lot of gratitude for that." With her winning performance, Heather Mae earned a one-hour slot on the main stage at next year's Folks Festival. In the meantime, you can keep an eye on her tour schedule via her website.
Later that evening, Rhiannon Giddens lit the stage on fire with her performance, ignited with the stories of despair, fury, and hope in her latest album Freedom Highway. She opened with a rock version of "Spanish Mary," a tune she co-wrote with Bob Dylan that's dripping in satire about imperialism in the name of the Catholic Church. She left the audience on the verge of tears with "At the Purchaser's Option," a song she wrote after finding a 19th-century ad about a 22-year-old slave woman's baby for sale. She left listeners breathless with her tune "We Could Fly," a song based on the African-American folktale about the people stolen from their homelands as slaves who lost their wings. Rhiannon is a force of nature onstage, and her music has earned its rankings as modern classics, songs that will be forever immortalized in the canon of folk music. You can hear more of her first-hand insights in her NPR interview here.
In the tradition of Sunday morning spiritual sets at Planet Bluegrass festivals, Ramy Essam, the unassuming singer/songwriter who became the voice of the Egyptian Revolution, opened the day with a riveting set. Though he sang mostly in his native Egyptian-Arabic dialect, he introduced his songs in English. The subject matter spanned from honoring the strength of women and girls who fought in the revolution, many of whom were jailed and tortured, to making fun of the police, an agency Ramy described as being corrupt and dangerous in Egypt, and many of his songs challenged tyrant leaders and their wrongdoings. Despite singing in a language very few attendees knew, people began joining his refrains by the end of almost every song. The crowd also sang along with his cover of John Lennon's "I Don't Want To Be A Soldier." At one point, Ramy proclaimed to the audience, "Music is the most powerful peaceful weapon we have." His set concluded with a chant-like refrain begging for peace "for just one day." Instinctively, the audience sang along, linking arms as they stood together in unity.
While the main stage was filled with outstanding performances, spanning the high-energy acts like The Revivalists and Lake Street Dive, the introspective meditations of Elephant Revival and Gregory Alan Isakov, the down-home tunes of Dave Rawlings Machine, and everything in between, the through line of the festival resonated with resistance. Nearly every performer mentioned the need for solidarity, peace, acceptance, resistance, attention to social justice issues, or, in the lighthearted case of Korby Lenker, putting politics aside momentarily with family in "Let's Just Have Supper." In the spirit of the folk music tradition, this year's Folks Festival was truly of and for the people.
You can stay tuned for next year's Folks Festival lineup at the Planet Bluegrass website here. If it is anything like this year's lineup, it's one you won't want to miss.

A group of foreign workers were forced to sleep on a Melbourne office floor for almost a month after their employer put a freeze on wages, renewing concerns of widespread rorting of the 457 visa scheme.
Nick Toscano & Beau Donelly, The Age
Eleven Filipino workers employed on temporary visas turned Schneider Elevators Australasia's head office into their makeshift living quarters because they could not afford lodging when their pay suddenly stopped six weeks ago.
Photographs taken by the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union show blow-up mattresses and couch cushions strewn across the floor of the South Melbourne office and employees sleeping among their belongings.
The union's assistant state secretary, Craig Kelly, said the elevator company had failed to pay correct wages and overtime rates to its 17 workers including 11 Filipinos, five Australians and a British national and owed them more than $170,000.
Mr Kelly accused the company of secretly deducting visa charges and building industry fees from the foreign workers' pay, leaving them with weekly take-home wages of between $150 and $500.
"This is an appalling case of exploitation," Mr Kelly said. "Originally they were promised board and lodging by the company, but when they got here that didn't eventuate. So they stayed at backpackers hostels, then when their wages stopped they were basically homeless."
One of the foreign workers who was employed as a lift installer said staff were paid between $25 and $40 a week while living in the office. He said they moved to a hotel last week after the union intervened.
Schneider Elevators Australasia managing director Terrence Donnelly declined to comment.

Source: CNBC Why India's reforms are different this time Leslie Shaffer | @LeslieShaffer1 26 Mar 15
Uncertainty over government-led reforms remains an overhang for India despite its promising growth outlook and surging stock market, but India's former central bank governor says the factors for change are in place.
"India has often times failed in the past. It's punched below its weight," Dr. Duvvuri Subbarao, a former governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), said at the Credit Suisse Asian Investment Conference Tuesday. But he believes it will be different this time as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi pursues reforms.
"There's been a remarkable turnaround in the India growth story, not so much because of what the new government has done, but because of what the new government is expected to do in the next 4-4.5 years," he said.
"For the first time in 30 years, we have a government that has no coalition pressures. It is assured of five years in office," he said, noting the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) also has control of state governments accounting for more than 50 percent of the country's gross domestic product (GDP). Modi's BJP swept to power in May of last year with a solid majority of the parliamentary seats.
Momentum is strong
India has disappointed in recent years with economic growth falling to a decade low of below 5 percent, inflation running above 8 percent and reforms stalling.
But the Asian Development Bank expects the economy will take off, growing 7.8 percent over fiscal 2015-16 and 8.2 percent in fiscal 2016-17, boosted by an easing of monetary policy and a capital expenditure recovery.
"India stands uniquely in the world today because while every other country is demand constrained, including China, India is supply constrained," Subbarao said. With a per capita income of around $1,500 annually, "any improvement in income quickly translates into consumption and production has to catch up."
Rural incomes have increased by around 10 percent a year for each of the last ten years, he noted.
It's an enthusiasm for the economy that has translated into sharp stock gains, with the Sensex up 30 percent over the past year. Around 22 percent of attendees at the Credit Suisse Asian Investment Conference said they are most overweight on India's market within Asia, the highest in the region.
Meher Baba said that India is closest to the Om Point, the place where infinite God manifests as the world of duality, and for me that the key to understanding it. Something new is always happening in India that you couldn't predict because of the pressure of Divine Manifestation that is always there, and it includes all aspects of life.
Narendra Modi's entire rise to power was an example of that. He was entirely unforseen and impossible from the POV of the powers who thought they had a perpetual grasp on power simply because they descended from Mahatma Gandhi who led India's liberation from British rule. It never occurred to them that their grasp on power had something to do with actual ability to govern to the benefit of the Indian people. They failed to understand, let alone continue and build on, what the British had done right in India.
Narendra Modi has understood that, and has reversed the whole country's reactivity abut the real demands of a modern-era government of an industrial economy. As I've written before, "Narendra Modi is from God."
I am sure that there will continue to be good news from India on all fronts. Of course, there are always good days and bad days in any developmental process, but we can look forward to solid and continuous progress in India from now on.
It will be a long time before the Indian economy can be in the same league as China's , if that ever happens. But what is already true about India, and always will be true about it, is that the processes of its economic growth are far more creative than those of China. Right off the blocks, when it comes right down to it, the entire Indian society knows intuitively not only how to attract but also how to reward foreign investment, and China has consistently used every administrative betrayal in the book to prevent that. Then how do they succeed? Flooding us with sub-standard goods produced in slave labor camps! In the long run, the sheer stupidity and ugliness of their policy will defeat Chinese economic hegemonism.
Shadows are drawn to the light. Meher Baba said that India is the spiritual leader of the world, and that has always been true, and would even be true today without Narendra Modi. The unbelievably primitive social and economic behaviors, such as gang rape, that we see in India have always been there, and will tend to be there forever. But they can be suppressed until their perpetrators are voices crying in the wilderness on the margins of a civilized nation that has repudiated their dominance forever. A robust and incorruptible police force, and a lightning-fast and thoroughly effective and punitive criminal justice system will always be among India's greatest needs until this outcome has been obtained.

Choice Enrollment
Summary of Choice Enrollment Policy
District 38 Residents: When a choice enrollment application is approved, the family forfeits the child's seat in his or her assigned neighborhood school. As a result, the student is ineligible for any other transfer(s) for the remainder of the academic level (elementary, middle, or high), including the neighborhood school, without submitting a Choice Enrollment or Appeal application.
Policy Change for non-District 38 Residents: Beginning with the 2015-16 school year, students who reside outside of the boundaries of Lewis-Palmer School District will be approved on a year-to-year basis to remain enrolled. Out-of-district elementary students who were choice enrolled prior to the 2015-16 school year are "grandfathered" and may remain enrolled at their current school until they finish out the grade levels served by that school.
Family Moves: Students who move out of the school boundary during the school year, including moves outside of the district, may either remain at the school in which they started or transition to their new neighborhood school. For follow-on school years, if the student wishes to continue at the same school after moving out of the neighborhood boundary, they must submit a Choice Enrollment or Appeal application.
Limitations: Choice enrollment may be limited by the space available, staffing, and program capacity at each school. In situations where there are more applicants than openings, returning students will be given priority in accordance with policy. Students requesting choice enrollment who are District 38 residents will be given priority over nonresident students, and remaining available school assignments may be determined by lottery selection. Admission granted to one child in a family will not necessarily guarantee enrollment of another child in the family (Monument Academy policies differ).
Special Needs: Students who are assigned to a school other than their neighborhood school due to special needs do not need to apply, but the siblings of special needs students who wish to attend a non-neighborhood school are required to submit an application.

Superdrug at 50
Can you believe that Superdrug is 50? There was a time when Superdrug was Boots' much poorer cousin where everyone only went into as a last resort. A few years and a lot of rebranding later and the store was the place to be if you wanted to pick up toiletries, makeup and perfume. The bright pink interior drew you in and created a sense of youth and fun. While Boots had a much more serious feel to them Superdrug made shopping for your weekly toiletries a lovely experience. To celebrate the milestone the megastore has collaborated with a selection of beauty brands in order to create a special limited edition of Superdrug products. Dressing table staples have been repackaged in eye catching Superdrug pink with each brand and product bringing some of its own personality to the party. The limited edition collection of products allows everyone to join in the celebration by picking up a specially designed product.
The Limited Edition products launch in store and on the Superdrug website on 9th April.

All of the Lights: The Philmore
A luminescent photo story told in four parts: The Philmore on Broadway
Established over 90 year ago on Fort Wayne's Broadway Avenue, the building was originally dubbed: The Broadway Theatre.
Opened in 1923, elements of the Jazz Age and Roaring Twenties can be seen in the building's Art Deco architecture, as well as the vibrant charm still emanating from this historic building.
Eventually, the doors were permanently closed in 1985 … until a restoration and renovation as a restaurant in 1998.
After another refresh, this classic downtown gem was reborn once again as an entertainment and event venue, and in 2010 The Philmore on Broadway began hosting "world-class musical talent and stunning private events."
The Philmore on Broadway has a colorful history, to learn more about it, visit PhilmoreOnBroadway.com.

Plain Old White Ironstone Bowls – Perfect for Chili
Plain Old White Ironstone Bowls – Perfect for Chili
A good chili bowl should hold chili. A better than good bowl for chili should not be too wide – leave the wide bowl for cereal. A wide bowl holds the contents certainly but the narrower width means that the chili will cool down quicker. Maybe a small thing. But early pottery manufacturers in Ohio recognized these small yet critical differences for the food service industry – restaurants, hotels,…

Governor James Rhodes brought the dream of the Appalachian Highway to life with a lot of political capital earned over the span of a long political career. Born and raised in Southern Ohio, his efforts on behalf of the people and the economy of Appalachian Ohio are still remembered. Jimmy, as the old timers call him, is a local hero.
Others traveling through the region might read the roadside sign dedicated to his memory. As one newspaper reported:
On its long, empty stretches, the James A. Rhodes Appalachian Highway gives drivers green vistas of southern Ohio's rolling hills. This is not the green that planners had in mind.
The need for connecting roads was felt long before Governor Rhodes. H. R. Wylie, the owner of the pottery in Huntington, was very active in politics on the West Virginia side of the Ohio River. Mr. Wylie lobbied for support, invested a great deal of money to effect change and even entertained the idea of running for state office. Roads were essential for commerce – which as every school boy knows is good for the people.
Bah! Humbug!
Christmas comes but once a year … so smile at silly things like these musicians.
Forget all of the lists.
Forget about black days.
Forget about the things you should do …
But don't forget to smile.

Victorian Fashion: Unmentionables, Cat's Pajamas and Nightwear
I love the euphemism unmentionables. I love the irony of the word. After all, once said, they are mentionable. Imaginations must have been stirred by the mere mention of unmentionables. But beyond the intimate world of private conversation, unmentionables were described and depicted in the public sphere – in catalogs, journals and magazines. The boom in popular magazines for homemakers, you…

In the early twentieth century, Mr. Wells the president of Homer Laughlin China Company appeared before a Congressional Committee on tariffs to plead the case of American Potteries. He argued that foreign wares, particularly German and Japanese imports, were given an unfair advantage in the current laws governing tariffs. One of the committee members questioned whether or not quality china was…
Ohio River Pottery: Black and White Restaurant China
Call it what you will . . . Retro Diner, Restaurant China or Restaurant Ware. To my eye, these plates look fresh and modern. Black is back but did it ever fade away?
The scalloped edge brings a cottage in the country feel. The bold black thick border looks clean and contemporary. Add to a collection or start a collection with these pieces. They will be with you a long, long time.
Adding a few photographs so that you can see them all together and on their own.
Hard to choose a favorite when I favor them all . . .

#77 It's Not About What Happens
"It's not about what happens; it's about your reaction to what happens that matters."
This is a big Bruce Lee concept and a big concept for moving through life. Sometimes we use what happens in a situation as justification for our extreme reaction. How you react to anything says more about you and where you are in that moment than any of the events that led to your response.
It could be that you had been having a bad day all day and then this one incident sparked a huge reaction from you. Or it could be that this event poked some small part of you where this fear, anger, or insecurity exists and that provoked a huge reaction from you that is not truly related to the situation. The truth is that it is never about the incident it is about the response.
Even with things that are inarguably tragic and sad, your response of grief and/or sadness is about where you are in your process and who you are in relationship with in that moment.
"I have learned that being challenged means one thing and that is what is your reaction to it? How does it affect you? If you are secure with yourself, you treat it lightly – just like today the rain is going on strong, but tomorrow, baby, the sun is going to come out again."
The more rooted you are within yourself, the more you're able to let things go. It is about noticing how you are reacting to a situation. You always have a choice with how you react to something, even though it can be difficult with an onslaught of emotions hitting you. A good practice is to not react right away. Take a beat to react to something.
There is a lot of information to be found in your initial reaction to a situation. Take a step back and look at how you're reacting. Why are you reacting so irrationally? Why with such anger? With such sadness? If you're able to take a step back to observe your reaction you can have a little space to choose your actual response. This could be as simple as taking a few deep breaths or walking around the block.
Even if your response is fully justified in a situation, it is still better to take a moment so you can express yourself without the full weight of your emotion. In this way you are more likely to be heard.
It is important to notice if your reaction to a situation is justified or if it's a reaction from an old wound that has nothing to do with the current situation or person. You need to know where your wounds are buried and examining your responses to situations can reveal those wounds.
"To live is a constant process of relating, so come on out of that shell of isolation and conclusion and relate directly to what is being said. Bear in mind, seek neither approval or influence. Do not make up your mind as to "this is this" or "that is that." I will be more satisfied if you begin to learn to investigate everything yourself from now on." This is a posture of openness and taking things in as they occur.
In today's online dating culture, we come armed with preconceived ideas based off of a dating profile and bearing our wounds from previous relationships. Then, if someone doesn't act how we think they should, or doesn't exactly match their profile, we can overreact.
Don't take things personally, and don't make assumptions.
"Eliminate all opportunities for rivalry."
Bruce was not about competition and was not about putting someone down to "win." If you're always looking to be the "winner" and for someone to be the "loser", then you will always be living in conflict.
"It is the ego that stands rigidly against things coming from the outside and it is this ego rigidity that makes it impossible for us to accept everything that confronts us."
There is also the "ego boundary" which is everything that is outside of you. We keep this wall up to justify our existence, and protect us, but usually at the expense of yourself and others. This wall will prevent you from meaningful relationships and interactions with other humans.
"If you are secure with yourself, you treat it lightly." You can handle these deep connections, emotions, because you know yourself and can be in inquiry. It takes a lot of honesty with yourself to be real about what is going on. If you are being bowled over with emotion at the slightest reason, then you are not rooted within yourself.
"A man is born to achieve great things if he has the strength to conquer himself."
If you can be knocked over easily, then you need to work on self-love and self-worth. You need to look and see why you are being triggered. What is the pain that is being touched to set you off? You cannot push your fears and pain aside, they will continue to grow and fester. You have to look at them and learn about them. Face those fears and pain with the posture of "What do you have to teach me? What can I learn from you?" Then, it is not so scary to face your fears and your pain.
"The growth aim is to lose more and more of your "mind" and come more to your sense. To be more and more in touch with yourself and the world, instead of only in touch with fantasies and prejudices."
The mind is a justifying machine; it will justify anything you want it to. The mind wants to be in control. The mind can be a negative thought generator, and the misinterpretation is that the mind is always right. Our minds can create these fantasies that aren't based in the real world. If you stay in fantasy then you will not have fulfilling relationships in work, friendship, family or romance. Fantasy keeps us in isolation.
"I acquire no understanding of myself except as I take account of my surroundings. I do not think unless I think of things – and there I find myself."
When we are in relationship with people and our surroundings then we can constantly ping ourselves off of these relationships and get feedback about ourselves. You have to truly engage with your actual relationships, not just the fantasy of what you think that relationship is.
The close relationships in your life, such as your best friend, family, or partner, are meant to push your buttons, they are meant to show you the things you need to work on.
"People have to grow by skillful frustrations, otherwise they have no incentive to develop their own means and ways of coping with the world."
"Zen reveals that there is nowhere for man to go out of this world; no tavern in which he can overcome anxiety; no jail in which he can expiate his guilt. So, instead of telling us what the problem is, Zen insists that the whole trouble is just our failure to realize that there is no problem. And, of course, this means that there is no solution either."
There is no escape; you have to be engaged in the process to grow. That's not to say that there are not problems or solutions to problems, but there is not one solution for every problem. You're in constant process of relating and flowing.
"Be a calm beholder of what is happening around you."
Bruce had this list in his writings:
"One and the same thing: Living in the Now Maturity Authenticity Responsibility for one's actions and one's life Response—Ability Having the creativity of the Now available"
Take Action:
Pick one of these and try it out: eliminate judgements; eliminate rivalry and competition; eliminate needing approval from others; eliminate wanting to influence others; think of yourself as an equal part of a whole. What happens if you eliminate being in competition? A simple exercise: when you're about to have a strong reaction, take a beat before reacting.
"Do what seems wise to be done, forget it and walk on."

Grace Lee & Grace Lee Boggs
Grace Lee is an American director and producer. She grew up in Columbia, Missouri. Lee originally wanted to be a journalist, but after interviewing sex workers in South Korea she realized she could tell better stories through film and studied at UCLA. Her first short was "Girl Meets Boy" which was her response to "those who have questioned my ability to speak loudly and in English." In 2005, she filmed "The Grace Lee Project," a documentary about Asian-American women who share her name, Grace Lee. This film is about Lee's attempt to define a common set of stereotypes associated with the name that she shares with the film's subjects and how they break the mold. During this project she met Grace Lee Boggs, a Chinese-American philosopher and activist about whom she later made a documentary.
Grace Lee Boggs is a Chinese-American philosopher, author, feminist, and activist. Lee was born in 1915 in Providence, Rhode Island, and died at the age of 100 in 2015. On scholarship, Boggs studied at Barnard College and went on to receive her Ph.D. in philosophy from Bryn Mawr College. She began working as an activist for human rights. In 1953, she married African-American autoworker and political activist James Boggs, and they moved to Detroit where they continued to focus on Civil Rights and Black Power Movement activism. She founded Detroit Summer, a multicultural intergenerational youth program, and her home serves as headquarters for the Boggs Center to Nurture Community Leadership. At the age of 95, Boggs wrote The Next American Revolution: Sustainable Activism for the Twenty-First Century.
Grace Lee and Grace Lee Boggs, thank you for sharing your talents and your voices with the world, we think you're awesome!
This week our #BruceLeeMoment is from listener Harry:
"Dear Sharon and Shannon Lee,
Firstly I just wanted to thank you for all your work on the Bruce Lee podcast. Bruce Lee's writing and philosophy have guided my life in countless ways and the breadth and depth to which you are exploring his legacy has really made me re-engage with his thinking in an even more profound way.
I have found listening to other people's 'Bruce Lee Moments' both reaffirming - and a relief! It is nice to know there are so many people out there who were also so impacted by Bruce.
You see I am an artist, and when I have expressed to people that the biggest influence on my thinking and approach to art making is Bruce Lee they can often look quite confused.
I am currently recording this in front of a live audience at Jerwood Space in London, and can see some pretty confused faces already.
Why Bruce Lee first appealed to me is not that complex - I was a very short, and rather self-righteous kid, I got picked on quite a bit and sometimes ended up in fights with groups of children much bigger than myself. So learning of Bruce's notion of fighting without fighting, of course, appealed to me. It didn't always work, as sometimes these things are unavoidable, but as Bruce would say, "are we not animals?" and I learnt to bite, and to claw - in fact I still keep my nails long to this day. Another thing he taught me - always use whatever tools are available to you.
But his teachings quickly went much further than that. His writings on love and relationships have helped me countless times in the twelve years since I first met my partner. And I'm very happy to say his writings on marriage have finally become relevant. In fact, as part of our honeymoon we went to Hong Kong, the one place I had always wanted to go, and was fortunate enough to visit the Bruce Lee exhibition at the Heritage Museum. Seeing him recognized in such a way literally brought tears to my eyes, and no art exhibition I've seen has ever achieved that - and I've been to a lot.
To those familiar with Jeet Kun Do, understanding how it could be applied to art, rather than just martial arts, is easy. The style of no style, of not being constrained by tradition, absorbing what is useful, rejecting what is useless, and adding what is essentially your own. The list goes on. Many people in this room may be unaware that Bruce referred to himself as an Artist of Life - and if I were to try and find a phrase to best explain what I am trying to do as an artist - I would be hard pushed to find a better one.
So this brings us to my Bruce Lee moment...
The one piece of advice of Bruce's I have always find most useful, and although it may not seem like one of his more profound statements, it is one I have always followed:
"Make at least one definite move daily toward your goal."
The other year at the age of 28, the same age as Bruce when he did, I wrote myself a definite chief aim. I won't reveal all of what I wrote, but the first part of it is this:
To reach the point of becoming a full-time artist. And in return, to fully dedicate myself to keeping it that way.
And so I wanted to share today's definite move with you - and one that actually achieves this goal - of sending my letter of resignation, right now.
All the very best, Harry"

Assessment for Learning (AfL) is a term that has become increasingly used in schools over the last seven years. It is not concerned with testing and measuring but is rather an approach to help improve learning. The old adage you don't fatten a pig by weighing it is often used in relation to assessment for learning.
The broad categories of assessment are:
• Traditional assessment is summative: it measures where a pupil is at
but does not tackle the issue of how to move learning forward
• Diagnostic assessment identifies good and poorer points about work or
• Formative assessment identifies ways in which progress can be made
Assessment for Learning is a development of the last two bullet points:
The term Assessment for Learning came to the fore when Paul Black and Dylan William (1998) published their research as Inside the Black Box'. This suggested that by changing what we do in the classroom (the black box) that we can improve student achievement and to develop autonomous learners.
The key elements of Assessment for Learning are:
• Questioning
• Feedback (both oral and written)
• Self and peer assessment
• And using summative assessments formatively
Assessment for Learning is not a quick fix nor an add-on; rather it gets to the root of learning and challenges many approaches to teaching and learning.
The Course
On our Assessment for Learning course, delegates will have the opportunity to reflect upon their own classroom practice and to consider the key elements of AfL. Ideas for developing AfL will be presented from a wide range of schools and age ranges. Delegates will consider an action plan on how to develop AfL in their practice and in the practice of their schools.
The course is 10 to 12 hours in length and can be done over two days or in shorter sessions or a combination of the two. Materials and approaches will be tailored to your or your institution's needs.
The benefits of Assessment for Learning are:
• Improved understanding and raised achievement
• Increased understanding of children and young people of their thinking
and learning
• Engagement of children and young people in their own learning
• Autonomous learners
• Promotes a learning environment and ethos where the views of children
and young people are valued
Every Child Matters
Assessment for Learning can contribute to the Every Child Matters agenda in the following ways:
• It can help children and young people achieve in all the aims of the
Enjoy and Achieve outcome
• It can help children and young people develop self-confidence about
their learning in many situations both in and out of school
• It can increase engagement of children and young people in further education,
employment and training
• And it can help parents, schools, voluntary and community organizations to
develop the above in children and young people

Karuizawa 1965 Monyou Edition Bourbon LMDW
Karuizawa 1965 Monyou Edition Bourbon LMDW, 50 YO, 62,6 %
This unique whisky is part of a pair. French whisky importer, retailer, independent bottler and all-round whisky fun house La Maison du Whisky (LMDW), recently released two 50 year old Karuizawas. One bourbon matured (this one) and one sherry matured.
The Karuizawa 1965 Monyou Edition Bourbon LMDW is a single cask release (cask #8636). It was distilled in December 1965, and bottled in January 2016. The total outturn was 199 bottles, and it was bottled at a cask strength of 62,6 %. According to Marlene Leon from LMDW, who has actually seen the cask, it appeared to be a custom built or re-built cask, almost puncheon-like in shape.
I got the chance to taste this very rare whisky at a once-in-a-lifetime tasting arranged by Symposion in Stockholm on April 1 this year.
Nose: Powered sugar and mild balsamic notes. Soft oak, menthol, and something that reminds me of tiger balm. After a few minutes I also find coconut top notes. There's Christmas cake, cinnamon, dark chocolate, peanuts, and berries.
Taste: Dry and rich mouthfeel. Spices and tempered sweetness. Intense and savory, rich and refined. Yeah, I know... Tropical notes, and a pinch of demerara sugars. It feels very much alive and fresh for its age.
Finish: Very long finish. Still intense! Slightly oaky towards the end, but not over-oaked in the least.
Comments: This old timer still has a hefty spring in its step, that's for sure. Wow!
Score (94/100)
