quilt how-to
alright, so here is the tutorial for my go-to quilt. just after snapping the first photo, yesterday became, what seemed like, the darkest day of the year. . . so the lighting is bad, but i think you'll get the gist of what i'm saying all the same. . .
fabric. 100% cotton. two solids for front and back. third fabric for binding, can be patterned or solid, you choose. the beauty of this quilt really lies in its simplicity and flexibility.
batting. i only use 100% cotton, mid or thinnest loft.
thread. lots of thread in as many (or as few) colors as you choose.
tools. rotary cutter, cutting mat, masking tape, quilting pins, binding clips.
first. cut fabric to desired sizes. for a quilt size guide, see here. depending on the size of the quilt, you may need to do some piecing. be sure to leave batting just bigger than front and back pieces.
second. baste the quilt. very important to do a good job basting so there is no unfortunate pinching or clumping of fabric while quilting it on the machine. usually best to do this while kids are in bed since their little feet cannot resist dancing (or crawling) on large pieces of fabric stretched on the floor. begin by taping the backing to the floor as taut as possible. don't be afraid to pull. gently lay and smooth batting over taped layer. follow with "front" of quilt. smooth out and get fabric as flat as possible. starting in the center, use quilting pins (essentially safety pins with a bent arm) to secure the the three layers together. work your way out in a circle, smoothing and flattening the "quilt sandwich" as you go. the fabric should be totally smooth. be sure to go all the way to the edges.
third. machine quilt. the fun and most time consuming part. with a walking foot on your machine, begin the quilting at one edge of your quilt. (quilt "parallel" to the shorter side, easier to manage). quilt at very a slight diagonal. removing basting pins as you go (don't sew over them, or let your daughter take control of the pedal for you while she also watches a show about mermaids. . . you'll regret it). when you reach the opposite edge of the quilt (going beyond edge of fabric, into the batting a bit) lift presser foot but keep needle in "down" position. rotate the blanket and quilt to the opposite edge at a slight angle once again. repeat until you quilted the length of the quilt. your quilt will look something like this:
switching out thread colors (or keeping the same) repeat entire process again and again and again until you are satisfied with the amount of quilting. this uses a lot of thread but looks really great. just be sure to go slowly, feed quilt through at an even pace and watch that the fabric doesn't get gathered or bunched while quilting. the walking foot helps a ton with this, as does proper basting, but keep watch just in case. if some of your lines aren't perfect, don't worry, the other quilting lines will distract, and washing and drying does wonders for covering up small mistakes.
fourth. trim quilt. to get ready for binding, the quilt sandwich needs to be "squared" and trimmed. i like to trim two sides at once, folding it in half before evening it up and trimming. clear ruler and rotary cutter. check that all layers go to the very edge after trimming.
fifth. bind quilt. i use the "double fold mitered corner" binding method. the same method taught in denyse schmidt quilts book and that was taught at my quilting class at purl. i love this method, and it deserves it's own tutorial. luckily, there are a few out there. hand stitching the binding is ideal, but if you are short on time, go ahead and use your machine to stitch the binding down. don't feel bad, it will still look great. (especially in the light of a much brighter day).
sixth. after binding and trimming all loose threads, throw your quilt into the washer and dryer. pull it out, admire it, wrap it for a gift or wrap yourself up inside. feel great. you just made a quilt, and it's modern and cool and probably took you less than 10 hours.

NEW YORK (TheWrap.com) - The National Geographic Channel has dropped a woman known as the "Hardcore Huntress" from an upcoming survival show after protests from people who objected to killing animals for sport.
A Change.org petition asking the network to remove Melissa Bachman from the series "Ultimate Survivor Alaska" resulted in more than 13,000 signatures in less than 24 hours. The network responded by dropping Bachman, a lifelong hunter from Minnesota who also produces and hosts wilderness programming and blogs as the "Hardcore Huntress."
Nat Geo said in a statement: "The National Geographic Channel has carefully considered the public discussion of our series on surviving the wilds of Alaska currently in production and premiering sometime next year. Upon further reflection we plan to eliminate one of the survivalists from the ensemble cast, Melissa Bachman. Hunting is not the focus of the show, and we regret the misinformation that has clouded what we hope will be an exciting adventure series set in the incredible Alaskan landscape."
Bachman could not be immediately reached for comment.
The petition's author, Tim Martell of Ft. Myers, Fla., wrote: "When I was young, nothing was more exciting than hearing the magnificent sound of the trumpets of National Geographic blaring on the TV in the other room. ... But lately, the famous sound of trumpets has transformed into the sound of bugles. Bugles that sound to mark the death of our precious wildlife that National Geographic once protected. Bugles that sound to mark .... a trophy hunt!"
He called Bachman a "heartless trophy hunter who has killed hundreds of animals without purpose" and urged National Geographic to "distance themselves from her."

Smaller Banks' Customers Hit Hard by Overdraft Fees
Hundreds of small and regional banks are clinging to a practice that can cause consumers to incur multiple overdraft fees in the same day, even as the biggest lenders are backing away. WSJ's Robin Sidel explains on MoneyBeat. Photo: Getty Images.

The photo is from former East Berlin, Karl Marx Strasse with Dunkin Donuts taken yesterday by me. Dig Dirk from Sprockets dancing on the Don't Walk sign!
I have over-extended myself and it has bit me on the ass. I am sick in Berlin. It's 2:30 and I have yet to leave the apartment of the wonderful Jan & Angela who are kindly hosting me.
One perk of traveling and staying at people's places is that I almost always end up staying somewhere much nicer than my own apartment. This one is definitely one of those. So that's nice.
But I got a fever of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. I'm usually below 97, often 96.8 just to make things dyslexically confusing. So 98.6 is a low grade fever for me. I rose all the way up to 101.6 last night, which must be like 103.6 for a normal person. I'm sure that what did me in was just too much of everything.
When you're in a foreign nation, even normal stuff can be a bit stressful. Like buying a train ticket! Hey people who've lived in Japan! European train station ticket machines do not take paper money! They look pretty high tech, but alas they are not. I'm pretty sure even the Los Angeles subway system ticket machines accept paper money. Get it together, France and Germany!
This caused me a lot more frustration than it should have a few days ago in Paris. It was like I was thrown back into the Angry Brad I was about fifteen years ago when I'd just yell and scream about every damned thing. I took that as a signal something was askew. And now this fever has confirmed it for me.
I've noticed that lots of people who comment very eruditely upon the Zen Precepts don't really understand what anger is and why we should avoid it. Anger is not merely being unhappy with a situation and making direct efforts to change it. That's not really anger at all. Though some folks who comment on Zen seem to believe it is.
Anger is when you allow your natural dissatisfaction with a given situation to become emotional. That's where you always have trouble. If you can deal with dissatisfaction without becoming emotional, you're good to go.
You need to avoid it for various reasons, the main one being that it's not good for you. A kind of conscious selfishness can be your friend. It appears that now that I've done a lot of Zen practice the rebound from bouts of anger comes very quickly. I'm running a temperature for a lot of reasons, mostly exhaustion. But if I had been more willing to manage my anger at those French ticket machines, I'm sure I'd be feeling better today.
I say willing because it's hard to do this. I was right! Those machines were wrong! I already told you why! They should have accepted what was perfectly legal tender! I've put paper money in train ticket machines a 100,000 times in my life! I know what they're supposed to do, dammit!
You see how this works?
Then I got sick. I'm pretty sure it always worked like this. I just failed to notice. So many, many, many things I failed to notice.
The best effect of decades of zazen? I notice things a little tiny wee bit more quickly.
Oh my God it sounds like there's an oompah-oompah brass band with a tuba out on the street! I'd better go.
I will NOT cancel my appearance tonight at 8 pm (20:00) at Dharma Buchladen no matter what! Info is athttp://www.dharma-buchladen.de/?Veranstaltungsprogramm_2011:Oktober_2011. Be there!

Obama lacks Syria silver bullet
President Barack Obama has many weapons in his quiver as he decides how to proceed in Syria — but no silver bullet.
Between the Navy's surface warships and strike aircraft, Air Force fighters stationed in Europe and the Middle East, and the many other units or capabilities the Pentagon can bring to bear, commanders can present the White House with a very broad menu of the "options" they say Obama has requested.
Story Continued Below
But nothing on Obama's menu today is different from the one he could have perused six months or a year ago, when he warned Syrian President Bashar Assad that the use of chemical weapons would cross a "red line" for the U.S.
So all the larger dilemmas about American intervention are still in place, no matter what the president eventually decides — and no course of action has suddenly become more attractive, even though suspicions about Assad's use of chemical munitions have now grown to a near-certainty.
Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey and other top Pentagon leaders have spent months cautioning against an American intervention in Syria. The key question, they argue, isn't whether the U.S. has the power to intervene — it does. The question is whether it should.
Dempsey told Congress in a letter last week that he isn't sure whether the Syrian rebels taking control of the country would be a better outcome for the U.S. than the status quo. And he warned that although the military can "tip the balance" of the civil war against Assad, doing so would plunge the U.S. irrevocably into a conflict it does not fully understand and could not control.
( Also on POLITICO: Syria problem takes center stage)
"In a variety of ways, the use of U.S. force can change the military balance, but it cannot resolve the underlying and historic ethnic, religious and tribal issues that are fueling this conflict," Dempsey wrote.
For example, Obama could order the Navy to attack key targets that would disrupt the Syrian military's ability to keep up its war against the rebels: communications facilities, supply depots or even combat units themselves. Tomahawk cruise missiles launched from the Navy's ships at sea could very likely destroy such targets precisely, without risking a human pilot.
Problem is, if the Navy destroys all those targets and Assad's forces are able to retain their upper hand against the rebels, what then? Obama might decide to attack Syria's air force directly, destroying as many of its warplanes on the ground as possible with more cruise missiles or attacks by the Air Force's stealthy B-2 Spirit bomber.
( Also on POLITICO: Engel: 'Have to move' on Syria)
That too would only pull in the U.S. more, Dempsey warned.
"We can destroy the Syrian air force," Dempsey wrote. "The loss of Assad's air force would negate his ability to attack opposition forces from the air, but it would also escalate and potentially further commit the United States to the conflict."
And as Dempsey has pointed out in testimony before Congress, only about 10 percent of the casualties in Syria's civil war have come from airstrikes. Much of the dying is caused by old-fashioned combat or indirect fire — artillery.
The Navy and Air Force could handle that as well, but it might require a Libya — or even Iraq-scale air campaign, with waves of attacks to eliminate Syrian air defenses and then clear the way for direct strikes against government forces. At that point, Washington would have become fully committed, effectively flying close air support for the Syrian rebels, and jumped into the war with both feet. And when Assad eventually fell or left power — what next?
That might be the level of commitment required before the U.S. could address one of its biggest worries about a destabilized Syria: its chemical weapons.

Difference between revisions of "Bar"
Revision as of 19:04, 29 October 2011
Bar [4] is a major port for Montenegro.
The Old Town of Bar, which is 4km far from the coast, is the most significant among the numerous cultural-historical monuments, what witnesses to the turbulent history of this town. The remnants of the town are deaf witnesses of numerous conquerors and different cultures. On the postcard of Bar there are tourist facilities, restaurants, sport fields, trade and a marina with 1050 berths.
Get in
By train
Serbian Railways [5] offers both day and night trains departuring from Novi Sad, making stop-overs in several cities including Belgrade, Niš, and Podgorica along the way. Also, there is a seasonal long-distance night train from Moscow via Kiev and Budapest taking four nights.
By boat
Montengro Lines [6] operates daily ferries to/from Bari, Italy departing at 10PM and arriving at 7:00 and costing 56 euros and up. The company also operates bi-weekly ferries to/from Ancona, Italy.
By bus
The bus station in Bar is located 2 km from centre, 300 m from train station. Frequent buses operate along the coast to Kotor and Budva. The journey to Podgorica takes a little over an hour, journeys to Ulcinj take about 30 minutes and journeys north to Budva and Kotor take one hour and just under two hours respectively. If you're heading to Bar's beaches in Susanj then you can ask to be let off the buses (for those coming from Podgorica, Budva and Kotor) in Susanj rather than having to walk all the way back from the bus station.
Car rental
Get around
During the summer months there is a local bus service running between Sutomare (about 5km north along the coast) and Bar. Services are hourly. Bar is a small city and everywhere is walkable. The walk between Bar and the beaches in Susanj will take about 30 minutes or taxi drivers will be happy to take you.
Get out

USDA is projecting a 16.7 million bale U.S. cotton crop for 2010, based on the March 31 Prospective Plantings report, 7-percent abandonment and projected yield of 815 pounds per harvested acre.
In its May 11 Crop Production Report and World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates, USDA backed off the 10-year average abandonment of 11 percent due to unusually favorable soil moisture in Texas.
Domestic mill use is projected at 3.3 million bales, a marginal reduction from 2009-10.
Cotton exports are projected to rise 1.5 million bales to 13.5 million, as foreign demand is expected to outpace supply.
Ending stocks are projected at 3 million bales, the lowest since 1995-96. The projected range for the marketing-year average price received by producers is 60 to 74 cents per pound.
World cotton production is projected to rise nearly 11 million bales in 2010-11, but supplies will increase less than 1 percent from last season. Production is expected to rise in nearly all cotton-producing countries, with the United States, India, Brazil, and Pakistan accounting for about 70 percent of the increase.
World consumption is projected to rise 2.8 percent, while an increase in China's imports to 11.5 million bales is boosting world trade. World ending stocks are projected to decline 2.6 million bales to 50.1 million bales. The stocks-to-consumption ratio of 42 percent is the lowest since 1994-95.
Revisions to the old crop balance sheets resulted in an increase of 1.8 million bales in world ending stocks. China accounts for most of the increase, due to higher production and imports.
U.S. corn production for 2010-11 is projected at 13.4 billion bushels, up 260 million from 2009-10 due to a 2.3-million-acre increase in intended plantings. Based on the rapid pace of 2010 planting, 2010-11 yield is projected at 163.5 bushels per acre.
Total U.S. corn use for 2010-11 is projected 2 percent higher. Corn ethanol use is projected at 4.6 billion bushels. Exports are projected 3 percent higher, while U.S. corn ending stocks for 2010-11 are projected 5 percent higher, at 1.8 billion bushels. The season-average farm price is projected at $3.20 to $3.80 per bushel compared with last year's $3.50 to $3.70 per bushel.
Global corn consumption is projected at a record 827.9 million tons, up 19 million from 2009-10, with nearly three-quarters of the increase in foreign markets. World corn ending stocks are projected at 154.2 million tons, up 7.2 million from 2009-10 and the highest since 2000-01.
U.S. soybean production is projected at 3.3 billion bushels, down 49 million bushels from the record crop produced in 2009. Soybean yields are projected at 42.9 bushels per acre, down 1.1 bushels from the 2009 record. Soybean ending stocks for 2009-10 are unchanged at 190 million bushels. Soybean oil used for biodiesel production is projected at 2.9 billion pounds, up 700 million from 2009-10.
A rebound in South American supplies from last year's drought-reduced levels is projected to limit U.S. soybean exports to 1.35 billion bushels in 2010-11, down from a record 1.455 billion in 2009-10. Ending stocks for 2010-11 are projected at 365 million bushels, up 175 million bushels.
The U.S. season-average soybean price for 2010-11 is projected at $8.00 to $9.50 per bushel compared with $9.50 per bushel in 2009-10.
Global soybean production is projected to decrease 3 percent to 250.1 million tons. The Argentina crop is projected at 50 million tons, down 4 million from last year. The Brazil soybean crop is projected at 65 million tons, down 3 million from 2009-10.
Beginning wheat stocks are up 45 percent from 2009-10, the highest in a decade. Total wheat production is projected at 2.043 billion bushels, down 173 million from last year. U.S. ending stocks are projected at nearly 1 billion bushels, the highest since 1987-88. The season-average farm price for all wheat is projected at $4.10 to $5.10 per bushel, compared with the 2009-10 projection of $4.90 per bushel.
Global 2010-11 wheat production is projected at 672.2 million tons, down 1 percent from 2009-10 and the third largest production on record if realized.
Global wheat consumption is projected 2 percent higher for 2010-11 with larger global supplies supporting growth in demand. Global stocks are projected at 198.1 million tons, up 4.7 million from 2009-10. Chinese wheat stocks are projected 8.3 million tons higher.

Breaking out of the German techno and hardcore scene of the early '90s, Trance emphasized brief synthesizer lines repeated endlessly throughout tracks, with only the addition of minimal rhythmic changes and occasional synthesizer atmospherics to distinguish them -- in effect putting listeners into a trance that approached those of religious origin. Despite waning interest in the sound during the mid-'90s, trance made a big comeback later in the decade, even supplanting house as the most popular dance music of choice around the globe.
Inspired by acid house and Detroit techno, trance coalesced with the opening of R&S Records in Ghent, Belgium and Harthouse/Eye Q Records in Frankfu ... Read More

Putting Together an Emergency Kit
Run down the following list and build your Emergency Family Kit to use in any serious situation. As a general guideline, for each person in your household, store one gallon of water per day for drinking, washing and cooking (including pets). That means storing three gallons for each person to cover 72 hours. Buy a three-day supply of canned food for everyone in the home (including pets).
Oh, and please remember to rotate out any batteries, water, and canned goods every few months to keep things fresh.
Life Essentials
- Emergency Water - As a good rule of thumb, store three gallons of water for each person and pet in your household to cover 72 hours of drinking, washing, and cooking, as emergency situations and power outages may interrupt your utility services.
- Drinking Water Tablets - Helps to purify water when a trusted source is inaccessible.
- First Aid Kit - A 50-piece kit is perfect for a family of four.
- Canned Food / Manual Can Opener / Disposable Plats and Utensils - Keep on hand enough non-perishable food for a few days. Also, remember to rotate the food out of your emergency kit and replace it after a few months. You wouldn't want to be stuck in an emergency with spoiled food!
- Emergency Blanket - Also called a space blanket, this reflects heat and helps keep you warm without taking up a lot of space.
- Warm Clothes - Sweaters, heavy-duty jeans, insulated socks, gloves, etc.
- Sturdy Shoes - Work boots or steel-toed shoes are good to walk over dangerous terrain or debris.
Medical Needs
- Medication - If you or your family takes any prescriptions, keep a week's supply in your emergency kit along with a list of them.
- Eye Glasses - If you or your family needs prescription eye glasses, keep an extra pair in the kit.
- Dust Mask - Helps to reduce smoke or dust inhalation.
- Bleach - A good thing to have on hand for simple and effective disinfecting.
- Essential Infant and/or Pet Care Items - Include vaccination records.
- Hygiene Products - Tissues, wipes, hand sanitizer, etc.
- Toilet Chemicals and Plastic Bucket - In some situations, proper sanitation and plumbing may be unavailable.
- Battery-Powered Radio - If your electricity, phone lines, and Internet are down, this may be your only link to rescue information and news.
- Flashlights - Keep multiple flashlights in your kit and spread throughout the house. It's also a good idea to store batteries and flashlights separately.
- Batteries - Keep packs of batteries for your most used items (typically AA and D batteries).
- Candles - For instant light and heat, keep a few candles in your emergency pack.
- Matches / Lighter - Waterproof matches and a lighter will come in handy for lighting candles, starting a fire, or lighting a burner to cook food.
- Light Sticks - Use light sticks or glow sticks to provide some light if you suspect there might be a gas leak in the area.
- Clock - Battery-powered.
- Fire Extinguisher - Keep a small household fire extinguisher in your kit. Make sure to read the directions and understand how to use it in an emergency.
- Multifunctional Knife / All-Tool / Axe - Cutting implements and tools come in handy in many emergency situations. Please know how to use them, and do so safely and away from children.
- Whistle - A loud whistle may help indicate your location for help and emergency workers.
- Trash Bags - A box of trash bags are a good add to your kit, and have many applications.
- Small Tent - For emergency shelter.
- Cooking Stove w/ Propane Fuel - To heat food if power and gas lines are down.
- Heavy Gloves - For moving debris and broken glass.
- Duct Tape - It's got almost endless uses.
- Shovel / Broom - For moving debris, digging out areas, and cleaning.
- Rope - Helps secure items and move things.
- Wrench - Something large enough to shut off your gas valve if necessary.
- Pry Bar -Something to lift and move debris if someone is trapped or an exit is blocked.
Essential Documents
- Currency - It's a good idea to store some emergency money in your kit, especially small bills, as local ATMs may not be working.
- Copies of Important Documents - Important papers like deeds, birth certificates, insurance policies, etc., should be copied, with the originals stored in a safe place like a waterproof container or a bank safe deposit box.
- Copies of Important Phone Numbers - Keep a hard copy of family and emergency phone numbers.
- Map of the Area - Helps to identify evacuation routes and shelter locations.

David Corn (Mother Jones): Earlier this year, Mitt Romney nearly landed in a politically perilous controversy when the Huffington Post reported that in 1999 the GOP presidential candidate had been part of an investment group that invested $75 million in Stericycle, a medical-waste disposal firm that has been attacked by anti-abortion groups for disposing aborted fetuses collected from family planning clinics. Coming during the heat of the GOP primaries, as Romney tried to sell South Carolina Republicans on his pro-life bona fides, the revelation had the potential to damage the candidate's reputation among values voters already suspicious of his shifting position on abortion.
But Bain Capital, the private equity firm Romney founded, tamped down the controversy. The company said Romney left the firm in February 1999 to run the troubled 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and likely had nothing to with the deal. The matter never became a campaign issue. But documents filed by Bain and Stericycle with the Securities and Exchange Commission — and obtained by Mother Jones — list Romney as an active participant in the investment. And this deal helped Stericycle, a company with a poor safety record, grow, while yielding tens of millions of dollars in profits for Romney and his partners. The documents — one of which was signed by Romney — also contradict the official account of Romney's exit from Bain.

Inspiration for making cards comes from everywhere. This illustration is one I tore out of a Chicago Tribune Sunday Magazine and had pinned on my bulletin board for a few weeks. It was so pretty, a beautiful female face with emphasis on the eyes done in neutral tones. She wears a cap of flowers and a necklace to match that were colored by the artist.
One day when sitting at my desk for inspiration, I pulled it down and decided to use the illustration in a card. I added some additional flowers, pearls and a little heart to dress her up further.
Now, what caption or phrase should I add to this greeting? Here's some that I am thinking of below; let me know what you think or if you have some ideas.
"Isn't it amazing what clever girls can do." This one was attributed to Peter Pan
"With strong wings, she flies."
"Don't ever let anyone dull your sparkle." The card needs more glitter to have this phrase, but I do like it!
"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart, and sings it back to you when you have forgotten how it goes."
"She believed she could, so she did."
And then there's always the plain and simple, "Happy Birthday." However, I think this beauty needs something a bit more special. Your ideas? Yes, please!

They started in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower in Paris France, and now a year a half later sit waiting to cross the Bering Straight. The Goal? To become the first vehicle to travel from Paris to New York (the long way) under its own power. Extreme Expedition has passed through eighteen countries in eighteen months, and looks to add two more to its total as it looks to complete its 25,000 mile voyage this June.
Now, the most dangerous part of the voyage lies ahead as the team waits for the weather to clear before attempting to cross the 60 mile Bering Straight. The team has fitted the Wranglers with pontoons for water crossings and to ensure the vehicles won't crash down through ice flows. From there the expedition plans to drive from Alaska into Canada before criss-crossing the states on their way to New York City.
If you have a lot of "Free Cash" laying around and want to get in on the action: you can! Around $50,000 will buy you 25 days or so behind the wheel of one of the three heavily modified Jeep Rubicon (JK) Wranglers.

Welcome back Bella, so lovely to see you here again and glad that you have the computer working again.
Such wonderful work that you and Ces are doing.
Brings you to tears with what is going on over there. We have quite a lot of Japanese people living here and they have been on the streets everyday with their collection buckets and it is good to be able to help out in this way.
Have a happy day

Bella, Darling Peep! What a brave undertaking, and I am hoping this effort will keep you VERY busy--grin!
I had heard of your idea, and was waiting for your ACTION! And...it seems as though you ARE a person of action.
I'll post my receipt email to you tomorrow, after donating...what was that? $2.50??? Doesn't sound like much, but, well, Ummmmm. Maybe I can handle that.
Good Night, Bella. You ARE nice! I admire people who DO instead of just "BE"!!! Sweet Blessings to you!

Bella... welcome back and thank you for sharing this generous idea to raise funds.
My funds have gone elsewhere as we have family in ChCh and they are recovering from their major earthquake.
Good luck and thank you for caring.

Yay! You're back. I have one of those dolls not two feet from me at this very moment. His eyes are empty tho, I've yet to set a goal to him.
I've heard an aftershock hit today. It feels like they can't escape the changing sea floor. I hope it settles soon.
Maybe I'll set the goal to go to Tokyo and Kyoto to my doll. I've always wanted to travel there.
I know Japan is going to struggle with electricity for years to come.
I'll send some money their way.

Glad to have you back Bella! You and Ces make a wonderful team! Your talent combined with your compassion is heartwarming and inspiring! You and Ces are more beautiful than the art you create. Welcome back! Great way to return ;o)

Dearest Bella, thank you and happy sisterfriend day to you too.
We have all been aghast with the terrible happenings in Japan. Not only did they sustain a dreadful earthquake and tsunami but to top it all the, if possible, greater disaster of the radiation which is not a local issue but contaminates the atmosphere and oceans of the whole world. Atmospheres and oceans do not recognise national borders and the aftereffect will be felt the world over for many hundreds of years to come.
Both you and Ces are doing such a wonderful thing to help the stoic victims.
We too have a connection to Japan as my daughter made costumes for a Japanese dance company and adored the country and polite people.
I know Sir Mark Oliphant was sorry he had ever been involved in splitting the atom that now is threatening to destroy the world through it's peaceful use. Governments are not very honest when it comes to letting the population know of imminent and present dangers from a substance which is invisible. It make my hair stand on end to think that such a reactor is proposed for California, right on the San Andreas fault.
Sorry to be so depressing, my husband started out as a physicist working on a cyclotron and had to wear a radiation monitor on his belt. I won't even have a microwave in the house. Unless you have a Geiger counter you have no idea when it it is leaking.
Love you, love your drawings . . . Arija

My school did the crane thing! We all made cranes this week and I even made little tiny ones, about half an inch wide. I think we made about 1700 cranes. It was very fun and tons of people at my school have continued to make cranes after the deadline. I love the doll drawing and the message that goes along with it :)

Good Night Bella! I'm going to bed and it's not even 1 AM yet (close, though!)
Must be 'age'. I can blame 'age' for every malady, even 'early to bed'....

- Captain Dumbass said...
That is such a fantastic idea, kudos to both of you. Um, could I donate to the Canadian Red Cross instead? Our dollar's worth more than yours right now so it would be going further.

Thank you to Sue.
Thank you to Pam.
Thank you to Steve.
And I am not going to let my sister get away with "But I already gave through our church." Hahahaha! The church don't have Bella Sinclair art. Hah!
Thank you to the next person I am going to meet down the hall who would be thrilled to help.
Most of all, thank you Bella Sinclair!!! You are so sweet, so loving, so generous and kind and you made me get off my butt and make a commitment. A great honor to do this with you. TSUP!!!

I am SO SORRY, Bella. There is some great mistake here. I am hesitant to have to tell you this, Oh my...you may never read my blog again...Oh well:
Here goes: YOU, Bella, and YOU, Ces, have got it ass-backwards. You are thanking us Peeps...when it is YOU PEEPS--WE should be thanking, for pushing, allowing, motivating us to participate in ever so small a way, in this campaign.
So, I have written enough here about that--hope I did not offend you or anyone else--Shhhh. hello, ces......!
TSUP! and TSUP!

And what you and Ces are doing is wonderful. My heart goes out to the Japanese people.
(I made a donation a while back to another organization.)
I've read about the origami cranes...will take a look at the webpage. I think what I read about was called 1000 cranes or something like that.

Welcome back Bella!!!
I see this has inspired others to join the cause and post art for sale with proceeds going to Japan's needs.
Love your doll drawing...most delicate and poignant.

Ahhh, I've had a computer issue myself so I can completely empathize. I'm so happy you got yours back in working order.
I spent days last week reinstalling window and all my programs and files. Yuk, technology is such a blessing and yet such a pain sometimes.
I love what you and Ces are doing. Your illustration is wonderful and I am sure both of your contributions will bring lots of donations.
I am still dying t-shirts. I was commenting to Ces earlier about how I've become a little obsessed with it. It's so much fun un-tying them to see how they came out.

Dear Bella, that is such an amazingly wonderful thing you and Ces are doing for the people in Japan. With that you help us all to feel a little less powerless, like there's something little we can do to help. I have donated. Let me know what I need to do next... Thank you so much for doing this!! Love, Silke

Hello Bella,
Sorry for haven't reply your email very lot ago. My appology to you dear.
Thank you for writing to me. I am fine now. i went to see the ear, nose and throat doctor.
The doctor did a good job on removing the dead cells of my skin problem.
So, i got to be more careful taking my ears from then.
I was admitted to hospital a few weeks back. And now under medication.
I have read through all your past posts too. I love your sharing in this post too.
If I were the mother, I would have the same feel like you and the mother calling out for her children.
Bella, I am glad that you have been back to America. There must be many great memories in Japan....and more adventures to be in your chosen land America too.
When I heard of this tragic, I was very sad and worried of my friends in Japan. Same here, I created two posters to remeber Japan. I know they will find strength again admist tragedy, just like us will find hope again admist some minors or majors setback.
I believe God wants us to continue to trust him in midst of good times or bad times.
Yeah, so do all of us.

Hello!!! HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
No wonder I am getting sick. It is because I have missed my routine of visiting you. See what happens if I miss my daily dose of Bella? I get an illness, what is that called? Bellanemia...yes! Bellanemia - a decrease in the production of endorphins due to lack of visitation at Bella Sinclair's blog. I have Bellanemia so bad!!!
Ugh! I am still in bed in my pajamas. They woke me up with a page before my call started. I never had a chance to wake up properly. No cofee, so I am here languishing but the blinds are open and what a lovely day it is. My son is experimenting - cloning plants - in the garden. Oy! Oy! I need to get up. Okay.
Okay, getting up...
Really this time...
Getting up...
I love you! My Bellabloglovin level just increased by 2 milligrams per deciliter!!! I can now get up and move my extremities. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Oh another thing, my annual evaluation is due on Friday at 4PM and I have not started it yet. I have to do it tomorrow. I am running out of time. I will just give myself a average score, that way, I don't have to elaborate and explain the grade, just meet expectations, not exceed. That's all we have been doing because we won't be getting raises due to the poor economic situation.

Farm and agribusiness groups are applauding the U.S. government's decision to seek an end to the European Union's moratorium on approval of imports of genetically enhanced crops.
The National Corn Growers Association, whose members have lost "hundreds of millions of dollars in sales" because of the moratorium, according to U.S. officials, said it welcomed the government's decision to file a WTO case challenging the EU's failure to lift the ban.
"We are pleased the administration has pursued a case in the World Trade Organization," said NCGA President Fred Yoder. "The moratorium is illegal and continues to block out corn exports from the United States.
NCGA and U.S. Grains Council officials estimate that the EU moratorium on genetically modified crops has cost U.S. corn growers $300 million annually over the last four years.
EU officials defended the moratorium, saying their system for authorizing imports of modified crops is "clear, it is transparent, it is predictable and as such complies with WTO rules."
A spokesman for the European Commission said it has legislation in the pipeline that would create "an even more enhanced system" for allowing biotech products into the European market.
But the American Farm Bureau Federation said the EU's proposed new labeling rules are also inconsistent with WTO rules, and that the U.S. government should settle for nothing less than a total revamping of the EU regulatory process for biotechnology.
"As proposed, the labeling and traceability rules only make the problem worse by erecting new, unscientific barriers to processed food products in addition to agricultural commodities," said Bob Stallman, AFBF president and a farmer from Texas.
"This is not an issue based on scientific uncertainty," he said. "All of the facts, even from European research, firmly support the safety of biotech products. It's simply the failure of EU political leadership to adhere to the terms of a world trade agreement. That failure hurts U.S. farmers, and that's unacceptable."
Stallman said the administration action "sends a strong message to farmers that the U.S. government will fight for agriculture's trading rights. We are particularly grateful to Ambassador Robert Zoellick and Chief Agricultural Negotiator Allen Johnson for putting together this strong case.
"We believe that a WTO decision, which most experts expect to be in favor of the United States, is the only reasonable remedy available to U.S. growers — to either lift the moratorium or impose retaliatory tariffs on EU products imported into the United States."
CropLife America, the organization representing the U.S. agricultural chemical industry, said the Bush administration action was overdue.
"The U.S. has been patient, but unsuccessful, in getting the EU to lift its moratorium, which has no scientific foundation," said Jay J. Vroom, president, CropLife America. "Today's action, which begins with WTO consultations, is a justified and long-overdue effort. The United States has a strong case against the EU."
"EU's illegal moratorium has had a negative ripple effect of creeping regulations and non-science-based decisions, which have resulted in denying food to starving people," said Isi Siddiqui, CropLife America's vice president, biotechnology and trade. "The WTO requires that international trade rules be based on sound science, and today's decision will send that strong message to the EU and other countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America."
Also sending a strong message was a press release from the Competitive Enterprise Institute, which said the EU moratorium on biotechnology products was a clear violations of its obligations under the World Trade Organization.
"More importantly, it has hindered the ability of poorer countries to take a part in the biotechnology revolution, shutting off access to crops that could help address food security concerns, said Gregory Conko, CEI's director of food safety policy.
Although he said removing this hindrance to exporting U.S. agricultural products will be welcomed by domestic growers, "the much greater benefit will be to allow less-developed countries to adopt higher-yielding varieties without the fear of forfeiting lucrative European markets."
"We've already developed biotech crop varieties specifically for resource-poor farmers," said Ariel Alvarez-Morales of Mexico's Center for Research and Advanced Studies. "But scientifically baseless regulation in Europe and elsewhere have kept them in the lab instead of the field where they can do some good." Alvarez-Morales was one of the scientists assembled for CEI's briefing on agricultural biotechnology and the needs of the developing world, Does the European Biotech Moratorium Harm the Developing World?: The Problem of Import Restrictions on Genetically Engineered Food.

A job advert offering £13,364 a year for a three-day-a-month job at Chesterfield Royal Hospital has been blasted as 'abhorrent'.
The vacancy, advertised in last week's Derbyshire Times, calls for a non-executive director to provide 'significant senior leadership expertise'.
Retired Dennis Smith, from Brimington, said: "I thought it was a printing error. However it appears not.
"The successful candidate will set the trust's strategic aims, provide entrepreneurial leadership and set the trust's values and standards. All this in three days per month.
"The idea that the trust, which employs over 3500 people, with an income of over £200m, believes it needs the services of this "Super Person" for 36 days a year, beggars belief."
He called on the trust to reassess the idea and instead put money to improving patient care and visitor car parking.
Sarah Turner-Saint, head of communications at Chesterfield Royal said NHS Foundation Trusts are legally required to appoint non-executive directors.
She added: "This appointment will replace a director who is due to retire. A non-executive's role is to offer an independent voice, scrutinise standards of care and financial management and constructively challenge decisions and plans. They also seek assurance that the hospital has the right systems in place to keep patients safe and be well governed.
"We are now looking for someone with a clinical background to help us to impove the clinical services we provide for our patients."

Ten years ago Frankie Valli spoke to me about a new project he was working on; a play based on the Four Seasons' music and career. It soon hit Broadway with roles played by Christian Hoff, Michael Longoria, Daniel Reichard and Tony Award nominee J. Robert Spencer. From 2004 through 2008 the show was a runaway smash, but the principals didn't want to give up their friendship and tutelage after the show closed. So they became the Midtown Men.
The new entity is touted as being a non-mimicking and non-tribute band. They feel they have earned the right to re-interpret the songs for they have the blessing of Frankie Valli, Paul Anka, Tommy James, and others. Some of the artists that they interpret do not tour any more, tour only on a limited basis, and some are deceased. Some lost the rights to perform their 1960s material. So, the Midtown Men are here to give you the 60s experience that you remember, missed, or never had. The Philly Pops will be the backing band for their Kimmel Center performance May 16, 17 and 18.
J. Robert Spencer discussed the concert with me via phone from Oregon where he answered interview questions and helped a child with math equations at the same time. I asked him if rock music now had songs equivalent to the Great American Song Book of Tin Pan Alley, or the repertoire of classical's three B's, qua Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms.
"I do feel that way as I tour across the country performing, whether it is the music of the Zombies, the Mommas and Papas, the Turtles, or Motown.," he said. These songs are iconic and become more so as they get further back into time. It's everywhere we look, listen, see and breathe."
Spencer defends the Midtown Men's approach to the songs.
He reasoned, "Audience members, promoters, and others tell us that if they can't get the original artists, well then, we fill the void. We have credibility because of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons in 2004. We were the original Jersey Boys from 2005 through 2008. We took responsibility for the logic, the harmonies, the music and the presentation.
It wasn't hard to slide into being a band after doing the Broadway run.
"During Jersey Boys we were asked continuously, can you play a gala, or a charity event, or a fund raiser? We could, but because we were doing Frankie Valli on Broadway, we couldn't do Four Seasons' music. So, we learned other music from the time. And now, we've been the Midtown Men for over 360 concerts and we love it!"
Spencer confided his long road between Broadway shows.
"I had a Broadway show in the late nineties and then went through a dozen shows that I thought would go to Broadway but didn't. I read that monologue for Nick Massi for Jersey Boys and I called my wife because I knew immediately that I had that show. We did 1,600 performances and the stars were in alignment" Spencer said.
The Midtown Men have been embraced by many of the people from the 60s including the Rascals, the Turtles, Tommy James and Paul Anka.
"Tommy James! He has seen us so many times," Spencer said. He hangs out with the band. We were seen by Paul Anka. Paul Anka asked if that was 'really us singing?' We said 'of course.' He gave us a really nice quote to use from him."
Spencer seems to have it down when it comes to touring. He commented, "The best part is going from theatre, to theatre, to theatre across the country because I never knew that there were so many iconic and beautiful performance places. Going through security is a science. No watch, no belt, nothing metal, where slippers and zip right on through. I just don't like getting up at 4 a.m. For a flight."
Many of the people in their audience are baby boomers who remember the music when it was new, but they often bring their children or even grandchildren. For many, the music may be slightly familiar and for others unfamiliar. But, if a song is new to you it still has freshness if done with the right energy. If you hear a song for the millionth time, and it still resonates with you, these performances, which Spencer referred to as "high octane," may bring back the feeling you had when the vinyl was piled high at your local (hifi) shop and the top radio station in the nation (Wibbage-WIBG99) played these song in high rotation.

Parker explaining her image of the dangerous Dragon lurking behind the innocent black horse. It hangs now in my studio.
"So of course I didn't manage to post pictures every day from my USA trip. I was way too tired. Came back yesterday and am still processing all these fun and great experiences.
The trip was just great and so many people took care of me on the way: a very partial list of acknowledments and thanks would include Liran Golod from the Culture section at the Israeli NY Consulate who coordinated the whole thingy, Mary Jo and Loren, The Bleich Hermoni family, Sheri and Stacy (the two wacky Texas Librarians), Carla the art teacher who got me back healthy with the greatest breakfast ever before a workshop, Marc and Janice who provided a great place to rest (and eat) in Austin and Galit Dayan for the great LA for beginners class.
The Cultural Attaches at the various Israeli Consulates along the way (Sharon, Deborah, Deborah, Udi) made great connections to the Schools, Hospitals and organizations, and without them, nothing would have happened. Thanks again.
(I just want to make clear that the fact that the American Economy was sort of ruined during my USA trip does not have anything to do with it.. "I didn't do it!")
Here are some pictures of the trip, of some of the workshops from which I had pics and of some of the lovely people I have met."

Thoughts on War
Colonial gunsmithing required the skills of a blacksmith, whitesmith, founder, and woodworker to do fine finishing work on iron and steel, to carve decorative designs, to hammer and cast brass and silver into complex shapes, and to engrave hard and soft metals. Because imported firearms were cheaper than those made in Williamsburg (typical of many goods in colonial America), the gunsmith mainly repaired arms and other objects. Gunsmiths often repaired axes and other items made by blacksmiths, cast shoe buckles and other items like bells, and sometimes repaired silver objects.
(Requires Quicktime, or other MP3 player)
"Most people think that the war would cause a lot of extra work for gunsmiths, but as a matter of fact most gunsmiths ended up fighting in the war as soldiers. Most of the guns that were home guns would be left at home with the family to protect the crops and livestock. We do see some gunsmiths that banded together and formed small armories to produce military goods for the war effort, but that was few and far between, and gunsmiths were not exempt from the military draft of the day, although lots of other trades were. So you do see a shortage of skilled workers in those armories.
Guns of course were very important for war, but most of those that were used for war were imported from English firms beginning in the early part of the 18th century, and once the war started we used those British guns that were in storehouses here. As the war progressed, we began getting other arms, especially from the French, and from Spain and Germany as well."
Clay Smith is a journeyman gunsmith for Colonial Williamsburg.

Tiffany Mitchell On Witnessing Michael Brown Shooting: Police 'Showed No Kind Of Remorse'
Tiffany Mitchell, a woman who says she witnessed a police officer shoot and kill Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, shared her story during an appearance on CNN with her attorney Wednesday night. Mitchell said she was driving when she saw Brown trying to pull away from an officer as the two were "tussling through a window."

LAPD To Face Civil Rights Lawsuit Over Ezell Ford's Death
The lawyer for the family of Ezell Ford, the unarmed black man shot and killed by Los Angeles police on Monday, said he plans to take immediate legal action against the city's police department. Appearing on MSNBC's "All In With Chris Hayes" Wednesday evening, attorney Steven Lerman said he would be "immediately" filing a federal civil rights lawsuit agains the LAPD. "Justice will come to this family in federal court, not on TV," he said. Read more.
It's Perfectly Legal To Film The Cops
In recent years, there have been countless cases of police officers ordering people to turn off their cameras, confiscating phones, and, like Reilly, arresting those who attempt to capture footage of them. Despite a common misconception, it's actually perfectly legal to film police officers on the job.
"There are First Amendment protections for people photographing and recording in public," Mickey Osterreicher, an attorney with the National Press Photographers Association, told The Huffington Post. According to Osterreicher, as long as you don't get in their way, it's perfectly legal to take photos and videos of police officers everywhere in the United States. Read more.
