Honestly I've made two posts since the last time I posted. Either the computer has shut down mid post or it inconveniently logged me out without saving a single word of the post I'd been typing. So here I am. I'll try try again!
I've been crocheting. Finished this blanket…
I've crocheted a few other little things since but those are gifts so I'll not share them here, just in case. Started crocheting a vest unless I decide to turn it into something else… Just bought the yarn today.
Handsome recorded a new song today. Here is the link for the song. Tell All The People.
We have had a week of gorgeous weather, a week of freezing weather with rain and snow, and a week of weather in between that we have been enjoying. We went to a craft store thanks to the help of Google maps and out GPS but unfortunately it was no longer in business. However there were some cute little store there that reminded me of the little places in Wellsboro. They have a neat little pet store there as well. They were selling cute dog treats that looked homemade. There were also so super adorable puppies there that we couldn't help petting. The little plaza also had a natural foods store that carries my favorite granola. I've been consuming yogurt again and you just can't have yogurt without honey and granola, especially not greek yogurt… with blueberries. 🙂 Anyway it is the first natural food store I've seen out here so far. We enjoyed walking around and checking everything out. The best part was we didn't even have to travel over the bridge into the city. We are still country people… busy cities scare us.
I guess we have just been trying to enjoy life. Looking forward to our trip back to PA in March. We will have a few days there before we come back to Missouri. I've already started getting around a few things that we will need.
Hope your enjoying yourselves! Looking forward to Valentines Day. And Spring! Spring will be coming before we know it. Can't wait to see the flowers again…

A Fierce Storm is Brewing
(An extract form the CMFC news letter)
For those who are unaware, I have been building a fairly large Hawker Typhoon for more years than I really care to own up to. It's just been one of those projects that has been revisited, off and on, as my motivation takes me. It was seeing a superb model at the Hastings show this year that has spurred me on to complete it.
General Design
One of my earliest R/C models, on getting back into modelling in the early eighties, was a Dennis Bryant Typhoon. At 63" and powered by a Super Tigre G60, she was a great sight in the air and I vowed to build a bigger version one day. I roughly scaled up the Dennis Bryant plan by 40% and ended up with a projected span of 88". The original design had a built up wing and the layout would not cater for retracts. I therefore decided to build a foam wing and use thick glass cloth to give a semi-stressed skin structure. As it turned out, this was not really strong enough after the cutouts for the retracts, flaps and servo boxes had been made. I ended up inserting an 1/8th ply spar to strengthen the centre section.
Wings and associated mechanicals
The retracts used are the biggest Spring Air types, which take Robart sprung oleos directly into the pivot blocks. The wheels are Sullivan 5" lightweights which, whilst not really big enough, are much easier to cater for in the already large 'wells'. The flaps are cut into the underside of the wing and are made from 1/16th ply re-inforced with a hardwood dowel leading edge spar and small ply riblets. The two sections of flap on each side are linked together and operated by an individual servo per wing. Hinging is provided by the large Robart hinge points. These are used on all hinged surfaces.
The leading edge of each wing was recessed to take cables for
the lights. There are both navigation lights and high power landing lights (both
Sullivan products). These took quite a time to install but were well worth the
The Nav. lights required the clear covers to be moulded over a balsa plug and were actually quite easy to do.
The fuselage was re-designed to cater for both a single cylinder engine, but with the option of upgrading to the inline twin cylinder Super Tigre G6000 if required. The current intended powerplant is an O.S. BGX-1, which at 35cc, should be enough power for the likely weight of 20lbs.
The actual structure of the fuselage was only upgraded as far as the formers and longerons were concerned. The skin was left at 3/32nd balsa to save weight. The heavier glass cloth adds additional strength anyway! Although the Typhoon had a retracting tailwheel, I felt the additional rear end weight was not worth the massive counterbalance required at the short nose. Every Typhoon I have built (3 so far) has needed alot of nose weight, and I really didn't want to add any to this one!
Cowling and Canopy
The cowling was made for me by Terry (Pink) from a blue foam plug that I carved myself. It's a superb piece of work and really looks the part.
The exhausts were made by Ian (Poisden-Watts) and were cast in resin after a mould had been made from a hardwood plug. He even painted them in an authentic rust colour!
The canopy has been a bit of disaster so far and I might yet scrap it if I can get a better shape one. I've seen a Tempest kit in the USA, which is about the right size, so I'll probably investigate this soon. The canopy sliders were built using a method advised by Mark (Fricker). It's too difficult to explain in words but works well and is not that hard to do.
Ian (Poisden-Watts) kindly offered to paint the beast for me and we spent a whole weekend at it!! We used Flair paint., the light grey had to be darkened slightly and the green needed some red in it to look authentic. It was surprising how little we actually used and I have enough to do at least one more decent sized fighter in the future.
I'm currently working on the painting of the 'Markings'. The roundels are compass drawn and 'freehand' filled. The letters were cut from masking film and painted on using it as a stencil. Everything else was masked with tape (D-Day stripes and fuselage band etc).
The Future
It is intended to equip the model with bomb drop capability and even rockets! The hard points are already in the wings and the conduits for the cables are installed and ready. If she last a few flights then I will work out what to do first. With only 8 channels on my radio, I will need to think about how to operate them!
This is about the state of play so far. Next come the panel lines drawn with water-soluble pencils and shaded with airbrushed ink. Mark Fricker is going to help here and those of you who have seen his models and my Sea Fury will know the effect it creates.
First Flight
The first flight day dawned in May 2002. The weather was ok with light wind and some cloud cover. The word had spread, and the entire club seemed to be there!
I put her together and checked over the systems/controls to check for transit damage. All was ok. I filled the air retract system and fuel tank (160 turns of my hand pump!).
Starting was relatively simple and I performed a 'nose up' test to check the mixture. She had been run in my garden so it was pretty close.
Alan carried her to the take off point and I tried to steady my nerves. I have never been so nervous about a first flight!
No excuses now, so I told Alan to let her go. Acceleration was ok and she responded well to rudder. I backed off the full up elevator quickly and 'balanced' her level. Just a slight back pressure and she was off!!!
Climb out was smooth and the controls both responsive and progressive. I decided not to put the gear up on the first flight in case of an emergency. A good decision as it happens. After two or three circuits trailing quite a lot of smoke from what appeared to be a 'screaming' engine, suddenly the engine went very loud. The silencer had come off! A stroke of good luck meant that she was in an ideal place to come straight in and land. Having not tested the flaps I decided to leave them up. The approach was very smooth with good control and she settled in for a fairly good (if slightly one wing down) landing. Amazingly (based on my 60" version), she did not nose over. I collapsed in a heap with immense relief!!
Post flight inspection showed the header coupling had disconnected and would need a better securing system. I was also convinced that I had the wrong prop on (18 x 8) as the engine screemed a lot without performance to match. Next time would see an 18 x 10 fitted.
Mike took some photos to record the flight and has kindly enlarged them for me.
Further Flights
She has flown again with much better performance (18 x 10 prop). The third flight saw the shedding of the spinner and some damage as I tried to get her into the field after the engine stopped at the wrong end after a low pass.
Further flights have shown up a cooling problem that I'm trying to resolve and a hole dug by a dog/rabbit tripped her up and smashed the canopy. Nothing too major and she will fly again soon.
Hope to get these fitted for the summer!!

Tight Asian Asshole I like Mia Rider. Sure, she's fucking dumb but she has big tits and Jimmy loves big tits! Ever since her first scene with us, a lot has changed. For starters, we've become ten times more awesome. Our crew has developed into a well oiled machine ready to wreak havoc on porn bitches. Even though Mia Rider has somewhat of a name, we couldn't care less. Moreover, since this is her return visit, we had to step up our game and make this scene epic. Honestly, we did. Pauly Harker and Bootleg dished out the punishment the way only dirty Jersey can. Mia's mouth was throttled until she barfed up her rice and noodles... which is funny because she was bragging about how she's so good at deep throating cock. Sorry bitch... LA porn don't count. Then, we went nutso on that tight little Asian asshole of hers. We shoved everything we could find up that stank hole. When she was all used up, loads were dumped on her face and she was sent packing. I highly doubt we'll be seeing her again...

Shes the object of many a mans affection, but Jennifer Lawrence has the same issues that everyone else deals with.
The Winters Bone babe talked openly about some digestive drama shes faced this week during her interview on The Late Show With David Letterman last night (November 20).
Lawrence confessed that she finally had to go to the doctor after persistent stomach problems led to embarrassing complications while promoting The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
I just had this really bad pain for, like, three weeks. And you know you can only s**t your pants so many times a day before you go to the emergency room, before you"re like, I need to go to the hospital.
Jen added, I thought I had an ulcer, but it turns out it was a fulcer. I went to the emergency room.
Letterman fired back, Its like talking to Helen Hayes, as he struggled to contain his laughter.
Lawrence kept going- I just did this thing yesterday called an endoscopo-something, where they put you to sleep. And the woman – it"s pretty clear when you first meet me, I"m a freakin" head case and I"m crazy – so I"m in there like, Ugh, what are these! What do they mean! What does that say!""

Can a mere text editor be powerful enough to calculate anything that a computer can? Sure there's Emacs, but it's really just a Lisp interpreter, so it hardly counts. It turns out that even the humble line editor ed(1) is theoretically capable of such computation.
ed(1), or simply ed (the "(1)" comes from the man page section), is the standard text editor. It is the original Unix text editor and is the ancestor, either directly or indirectly, to many modern utilities, including sed, grep and vi. Unlike most editors today, ed is a line editor: instead of presenting the user with a screen full of text as a visual editor would, it uses commands to act on lines in a buffer.
A system that is Turing-complete is a system that can simulate any Turing machine, and a Turing machine is an abstract machine that can compute anything that can be computed with an algorithm (most programming languages are Turing-complete). To show that a system is Turing-complete, one only needs to show that it can simulate another Turing-complete system. Note that Turing completeness implies nothing about the efficiency of the system.
Rule 110 is an example of a Turing-complete system. It is an elementary cellular automaton (similar to Conway's Game of Life, but in one dimension only) that was shown to be Turing-complete by Matthew Cook around 2000. As an elementary cellular automaton, the Rule defines the life of a cell in the next generation based on its current value and the values of the cells adjacent to it.
I had an idea one day: if you could call ed recursively, you'd be able to implement Rule 110 and prove that ed is Turing-complete.
So I got to work on it. It turns out, yes, it is possible to simulate Rule 110 in ed, showing that ed is Turing-complete.
Here it is, the code in full (as of writing), licensed under the MIT. Instructions on how to run the simulation can be found in the GitHub repository. An overview and a command-by-command walkthrough follows.
$a . -t. .g/^\(.\).*\(.\)$/s//\2&\1/ .g/^.$/s//&&&/ s/./&\ /g d ?^$?+,$-2g/^/+,+2t.\ -2,.j\ s/111/0/\ s/110/1/\ s/101/1/\ s/100/0/\ s/011/1/\ s/010/1/\ s/001/1/\ s/000/0/ $-,$d ?^$?,$jp w !exec ed '%' < '%' q # DATA 00000000000000000000000000000100
But before that, I'd like to thank Tom Ryder for sparking my interest in ed, and @ed1conf for reviewing the script and keeping my interest in ed high.

I was in discussion once on a writing forum re. the reason for rhymes. When a contributor unleashed a little of his mostly rhyme-less creativity; it read thusly:
I heard a man
with spider-fingers and
picking the blues on a train
where the air stunk of brimstone.
He played with a skeletal sway
to his shoulders,
a kamikaze grin stitched
upon his face and
the shadow of a swagger in his hips.
Each chord that he wrung out
from that ragged banjo
juddered and jigged,
dancing to a hangman's tune,
moaning like dying men on their gibbets.
Insanity gibbered there,
somewhere between
his fingers and the fretboard.
A more poetic soul than I might damn him
for the hellfire that clung
to every note he strummed,
damnation made visceral,
if not physical.
I didn't care.
I just listened…
Rather good eh?
I know not his name nor from where he hailed – but boy I enjoyed his poem.

Measuring your iron levels to make sure you are meeting your needs is key. After all, you can't monitor what you don't measure. But even we'll admit, not all science is easily translated into plain English. That's exactly what we strive to do here at InsideTracker. And we've just made understanding your iron group easier than ever!
Your iron group is comprised of five biomarkers: ferritin, hemoglobin, TS, blood iron, and total iron binding capacity. These five markers measure things like iron storage, the amount of iron your blood can carry, and the amount of oxygen your blood can circulate throughout your body. Tracking your iron group can give you a view into whether you're meeting, exceeding, or falling short of your body's iron needs.
By adding a short interpretation to your iron group, we hope it will help you understand your specific combination of iron markers and how they all work together.
One factor that you may not have expected to affect your iron group is inflammation. So, could it be affecting your iron group? Here's what you need to know...Read more

It is often tempting to jump into the first opportunity for a commercial loan that you may come across. While your tendency may be to focus on how additional funds may support or expand your business or commercial real estate portfolio, you have to take the time to make two important considerations - choosing the right commercial lender as well as the right loan for your business. You should evaluate potential lenders as well as their commercial financing options to see which are best suited for your needs.
Payday loansCash Advance, personal cash loans, quick cash payday loans,
Is the lender trustworthy?
You need a lender who will act as a partner for your business. There are reliable and respectable lenders who are willing to guide you through the difficulties of acquiring the right financing package. On the other hand, there are less-than-reputable lenders who prey on and take advantage of companies in need of quick funding. While the top lenders have solid reputations, you should check for references for smaller lenders.
Do the lender references check out?
Ask the lender to give you five to five references, so you can evaluate their experience and background. If permitted, contact the references for feedback to see if they are satisfied with the lender.
Does the lender offer a wide range of financing options? Is financing accessible?
Check if the lender offers a range of financing options / loan packages that serve your present as well as your future needs. You may need a simple loan arrangement now, but can the lender support the future needs of your business? Accessibility in acquiring the funds right when your business needs them is important.
How well does the lender know your industry?
Lenders who know your industry will generally know the needs, capabilities and potential of your business, and they are in a better position to give you a suitable loan package. They can also see the total picture and recognize temporary limitations against your business' potential.
Choosing The Right Loan
Once you have narrowed down your list of potential lenders, you can evaluate their financing options to determine which is most suitable for your business and for your needs.
Term Loans
These are the most common loan types that are used for general purposes such as working capital, expansions, purchases and acquisitions. Term loans are used to support your straightforward needs for additional funds, which are to be used for clear and specific purposes. These loans will allow you to acquire large sums over long periods which are to be paid monthly or as in the case of short-term loans, smaller amounts that are paid in full at the end of the term.
Credit Lines
These types of loans are more flexible as they allow you to draw additional funds whenever the need for additional cash arises. Interest rates for credit lines are based on the outstanding loan balance. Different lenders offer many variations of credit line type loans - you must evaluate each credit line carefully and determine which will fit your needs without being too costly.
Another not so common option for smaller companies is factoring or receivables financing. Factoring allows you to "sell" your invoices so that you can have the funds immediately. If your business has active but slow paying accounts, factoring may be very useful.
Meeting your needs
If you have taken necessary measures and the time to properly evaluate potential lenders and their loan packages, you will be able to choose the right commercial lender and the right commercial loan to meet not only your current needs, but the future needs of your business.

A large-scale memorial ceremony was hosted by the Human Rights Association for Victims of Coercive Conversion Programs (HAC) on January 7, 2019 engaging different schools in Cavite, marking the first death anniversary of the young Korean lady named Gu Ji In, a victim of forceful conversion.
Thousands of students from Imus National High School and Paliparan III Senior High School gathered to commemorate the first death anniversary of Ms. Gu, killed because of coercive conversion program that forcefully convert one's religion. Flowers were offered as a symbol of lending support and sharing the burden of grief. A condolence message was given by Mr. Proceso Paiton, a teacher from Paliparan III Senior High School.
The first death anniversary of Ms. Gu was commemorated not only in the Philippines, but also in different countries including Washington D.C. and New York in USA; Uganda in Africa; Essen and Berlin in Germany; Bali and Jakarta in Indonesia and realized the importance of human rights for the freedom of religion. "Since the killing of Gu Ji-in, we have held campaigns all over South Korea and around the world to obtain signatures to propose a law against coercive conversion. Over one million citizens participated in the campaigns and agreed on the magnitude of this issue. Now it is the government's turn to accept and acknowledge this severe problem." Said Ms. Abigail Saguid, a coordinator from HAC.
HAC has been actively advocating for the freedom of religion through campaigns and rallies seeking justice for those who have been a victim of the forceful conversion. The commemoration is done not only in South Korea but in different parts of the world, calling for the government to make a move to stop this unlawful act of killing and religious suppression.

|Roppongi Warayaki-ya
Wara means rice straw and yaki means burning — and that tells the whole story. Whether you order chicken, fish or vegetables, the food will be held briefly above flaming straw, giving everything a slightly burnt aroma. The leaping flames turn the open kitchen into a circus performance, while the fragrance of burning straw evokes the ghost picnics past.
|The magician in the kitchen
Unless we have a group, when we order every single item from the warayaki-list, we usually go for katsuo (bonito) and potatoes. Eat more than that and the smokey flavour becomes a bit overwhelming. The katsuo is lightly seared outside, raw on the inside and arrives with a choice of sliced raw garlic, wasabi, ginger, salt and onions. Garlic seems to go very well with katsuo and fortunately we both like it - we just have to be careful not to arrange to meet anyone for a drink after dinner.
|Katsuo no tataki
Warayaki-ya has several locations - among them in Akasaka, Shinbashi and Roppongi. The food is similar, but somehow only the Roppongi shop has the real ambience.
On a warm summer evening last year, kids were playing with tiny firecrackers outside
On summer evenings, the sliding doors are thrown open and it is even possible to sit on the narrow wooden terrace.

- Why insurance is so highly regulated?
- July 29, 2013
Government regulation of insurance companies and agents began in the states more than 100 years ago for one overriding reason – to protect consumers. It is their responsibility to ensure that insurers remain solvent, so they can meet their obligations to pay claims.
States also supervise insurance sales and marketing practices; policy terms and conditions; and regulations to ensure that consumers are treated fairly when purchasing policies and filing claims.
What is the first priority of insurance regulators?
The fundamental purpose for government regulation of insurers and agents is to protect American consumers. Effective consumer protection that focuses on local needs is the hallmark of state insurance regulation.
State regulators understand local and regional markets and the needs of consumers in those markets. They also recognize that consumer protection is their highest job priority.
How is insurance different from banking?
Insurance is a commercial product based upon subjective business decisions. Unlike most other financial products, the purchaser of a life insurance policy will not be able to fully determine the value until after a claim is presented – when it is too late to decided that a different insurer or policy might make a better choice.
All of these subjective aspects add up to one big certainty – insurance products can generate consumer backlash and dissatisfaction that require a high level of regulatory resources and responsiveness.
What is the cost of state insurance regulation?
In 2000, state insurance departments employed 12,500 regulatory personnel nationwide and spent $800 million to be the watchful eyes and helping hands on consumer insurance problems. States also maintain a system of financial guarantee funds that cover personal losses of consumers in the event of the insurer insolvency. The entire system is authorized, funded and operated at no cost to the federal government.
What is Gramm-Leach-Bliley?
The Financial Modernization Act of 1999, also called Gramm-Leach-Bliley, established a comprehensive framework to permit affiliations among banks, securities firms, and insurance companies. This once again acknowledged that states should regulate the business of insurance.
What are states doing to modernize insurance regulation?
States are committed to streamline and simplify state insurance regulations while continuing to protect consumers. In March 2000, the nation's insurance commissioners adopted the Statement of Intent – The Future of Insurance Regulation.
Working in their individual states and collectively through the NAIC, the commissioners have made tremendous progress on their goals of creating an efficient, market-oriented regulatory system for the business of insurance.
The Statement of Intent set forth goals for improvement in producer licensing, product speed to market, privacy of consumer information, and company licensing.
In September 2001, the National Conference of State Legislators (NCSL) Executive Committee established the Task Force to Streamline and Simplify Insurance Regulation to lead state legislative efforts to modernize state insurance regulation.
This taskforce is charged to explore the issues of confront state insurance regulation in the integrated marketplace and, if necessary, to recommend specific measure for legislative consideration.
How do regulators promote competitive markets?
Once the consumer protection responsibilities of government insurance regulators are satisfied, it is fair to ask how the system can be made most compatible with the demands of commercial competition without sacrificing the needs of consumers. Regulators continue to give this matter their highest attention, as evidenced by their speed-to-market initiatives.
Insurers, especially in the life insurance and annuities market, increasingly face direct competition from policies offered by other financial service entities. State insurance regulators have worked diligently over the past two years to identity these issues and come up with possible solutions.
Regulators now believe that a more efficient review process for these policies is possible, which could help insurers better compete in the marketplace.
Why are the state's modernizations efforts taking so long?
Insurance regulation is a complex matter and any change to the process should not be undertaken without review and analysis of the impact of change to businesses, companies, agents, and also to the consumers and policyholders the industry serves.
However, the states have established aggressive timeliness in order to meet their modernization objectives. They have come to a point where a number of the goals set out in the Statement of Intent have worked their way through the state legislative process.
Isn't this really just about protecting their turf?
Modernization efforts are not just about the survival of the state system. It is about responding to change and, in turn, making the best insurance regulatory system in the world even better.
State policymakers believe consumers are – and will continue to be – best served by the state.
When state regulators say there is a need for more uniformity, aren't they making a case to get rid of the 50-regulator system?
Having similar processes with local control and applications is really the best of both worlds. Consumers need to have the confidence that the people regulating their policies understand the area market.
For example, Iowa consumers do not buy much hurricane insurance and there is little need for crop insurance in New York City. However, these types of insurance are very important in the regions in which they are sold.
Wouldn't it be better to create a federal agency like the SEC to oversee regulation?
Since the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act passed, conglomerates are being formed and banks, insurance and securities firms are converging. But, there are still fundamental differences between banking, securities, and insurance.
Insurance is a product with which consumers have many issues and questions. State insurance regulators need to be there on a local basis to deal with them. The state system has the expertise and has demonstrated that it can be more responsive to these situations.
When consumers have a problem with their insurance, it is often at a time of tragedy –when a children needs an operation and the insurance company won't pay, or a house just burned down and the insurance company is not coming through,
So, insurance is very different from banking and securities products. Insurance also involves extremely complex contracts – so there is a greater risk for consumer abuse.

My Christmas Wish List
If I were in America right now, I'd be planning on some Black Friday Christmas shopping (yes, I'm one of the people who loves it) and I'd also be making a couple guiding suggestions for Angel's shopping--which would not take place on Black Friday, because he does not feel similarly to me on this subject. Here is what would be on my list of gentle suggestions:
Disney's Frozen nail polish. Actually, I have no idea if this even exists--I haven't even seen Frozen but I've seen enough pictures to make me think that the sparkly blueish color associated with the movie would make an awesome nail polish. It exists in my mind, but I've yet to see the exact color I see in my mind inside a bottle.
White Ballet Flats. Miles upon miles of walking down Chinese sidewalks are apparently all it took to cause these $10 wedding shoes which I bought in Malaysia and have worn regularly since before we got married to begin a quick descent into decay. They have the best ballet flats ever, and never gave me blisters or rubbed my skin raw. I'm not sure if I'll ever find a perfect replacement, but I'd like to.
A Chocolate Orange and A Big Box of Red, Green, and White Nerds and Chewy Sweet Tarts. Christmas candy traditions that might not exist here but I can still dream about their goodness.
A Dress. No good reason. Dresses are just awesome. I don't have anything particular in mind.
We won't be buying any "big stuff" this year, because of the need to be able to live out of a suitcase, so that's a first for me (If my white flats do fall apart any further, though, I will have to take corrective action). I enjoy presents, and I especially enjoy clothes and shopping, but ever since our move I feel no motivation to buy stuff that we'll only get to have for a short time since we don't know if we'll be living in this apartment next year. I never thought I'd be the kind of gal to say, ahh, I don't need anything, I'll shop again sometime next year...but weirdly, that's pretty much how I feel these days. Since our move, Angel has bought one pair of dress pants for work and I've bought one pair of shorts and one pair of leggings (since he is naturally over-prepared on casual, comfy clothes and I am naturally over-prepared on fancy, non-sports-appropriate clothing, we were both filling holes in our closet!).
How do you do Christmas when it doesn't make sense to buy more stuff? We're considering going out to watch The Hobbit as our gift to each other! I can also guarantee we'll be buying some snacks (like cashews for him and dark chocolate for me) that are a little outside of the everyday budget!

I totally agree with you when it comes to dresses. It's also cool to realize that living out of a suitcase provides all that we need which is not a lot at all.ReplyDelete
This is such a cute outfits! And I really like your Christmas wish list....I still need to make mine. :)ReplyDelete

Ooh, don't ask me how I know but I think Sally Hansen's Bling-tastic is just the nail polish you're looking for: http://www.fabfatale.com/2012/04/manicure-mondays-sally-hansen-gem-crush-swatches-review/ (scroll down to see it in all it's Frozen glory!).....ReplyDelete

I am with Amanda, now all I am thinking about is a box of nerds!ReplyDelete
I need some black ballet flats for this winter. I typically wear boots, but sometimes a good pair of flats comes in handy.ReplyDelete
We don't "do" Christmas gifts for each other either. Instead we spend that money on a holiday for winter. Normally I will make a nice meal and we'll put on some Christmas music and sometimes decorate. If we are going away at Christmas we don't even decorate though. When I lived away from North America for years we often just did a nice meal for Christmas.ReplyDelete
chocolate orange! one of my favorite things, and a tradition in my family too - such a good christmas sweet. maybe someone can send you one? my family never did christmas wish-lists, and is more of a 'make before you buy' giving mentality, but jon's family *loves* christmas lists and shopping and big gift exchanges. as for me? happy to have it both ways :)ReplyDelete
That Frozen nail polish idea is great! I can see the color you're describing in my mind, too. I'm sure some company will try to capitalize on it this holiday season:) Sounds like a really nice Christmas to be content with what you have (plus maybe a new pair of flats:)ReplyDelete
Love your wish list! I have to say that while I do love all the cozy, pretty things that come out around Christmas season, I'm not enjoying shopping as much as I used to. Still, it sounds like you'll need a new pair of shoes soon so that's a good excuse to go! And watching the hobbit sounds like fun (you should watch Frozen too!!!).ReplyDelete
I think experiences are some of the best presents - so I fully support going to see The Hobbit for Christmas! Isaiah and I will be going on Christmas Eve, per tradition.ReplyDelete
I also fully support the consumption of chocolate oranges. One of my favorite Christmas treats of all time.
Well aren't you super adorable today in this Outfit I love. Check out how I layered a Red Dress also today and took it into Fall.ReplyDelete
I too love that icy blue shade of Frozen and would love to actually own the movie and book in English. Your Christmas list is very doable by the way. Hope Angel reads this lol!
Happy Monday Rachel!
Maybe with not as many options for gift buying maybe doing special trips or something? :)ReplyDelete
A great list! I never used to like chocolate oranges... but I feel like I would love them now!ReplyDelete
Great wish list!! After reading the first one about the Frozen nail polish I've been racking my brain trying to think of the name of a color I bought a couple weeks ago. I never really gave it a second thought about it looking like something out of Frozen, but I sure did get lots of people telling me that when I wore it. Once I get home and find the name I will tell you because it is spot on! :)ReplyDelete
I just purged a bunch of stuff from our house. I'm not okay with hoarding, but we somehow accumulate so much stuff! This year I suggested we do a family stay-cation instead of presents, but when we went to book, the resort was booked for pretty much all of December :(.ReplyDelete
Presents it is.
Very fun outfit post! Those ballet flats do look comfortable! All the best in finding new ones!ReplyDelete
my husband and i moved a lot last year so we've gotten into the habit of saving our money for 'experiences' instead of exchanging gifts. he does now i loooove unwrapping things so he usually gets me a little something but it's been great to dream about what we want to experience together instead of what material things we want (don't get me wrong...i still totally love material things too)ReplyDelete
I love your list, dear Rachel, and not the least because it strikes me as being very realistic. There's nothing wrong with making dream/fantasy wishlist, but sometimes it can get a bit old seeing them right, left and center during the holiday season. This list resembles the types I actually make and share with loved ones myself, which not something I see all the time online. Time and time again your blog is a breath of fresh air, as this post really demonstrates. I hope that "Santa" brings you everything you're hoping for.ReplyDelete
Happy (early) holiday season wishes,
♥ Jessica
*PS* Thank you very much for your comment on yesterday's post. It's awesome that we both have husbands who are able to assist us so much on that front. I feel so blessed that Tony understands what a very real deal this fear/anxiety is for me.
We decided to forgo Christmas gifts this year and sponsoring a child in Rwanda instead. I like the movie idea and treating yourself to snacks sounds like a great idea!ReplyDelete
Great list, and I love that dress!ReplyDelete
That's a pretty simple list :) You can at least find a Frozen-type nail polish! I'm pretty sure Disney has taken care of that hehehe I would honestly like to start new, unique Christmas traditions but I am not sure what.. My family was just about eating and yelling so It's hard to establish something out of that, lol. If you have any ideas please share :P Have a great one Rachel! -IvaReplyDelete
I think taking each other to the movies is a great idea. Or maybe taking a short day trip to any nearby cities for sightseeing? My husband & I have not exchanged gifts in years. I do buy him something to open but it's never anything exciting - just a new shirt for work or some socks.ReplyDelete
I'm pretty sure somewhere there exists the Frozen nail polish.ReplyDelete
This year, since the beginning of the year, we've been saving up for our gifts. I'm going to get a DSLR, Justin will get a 3DS, and Rhys will get an exersaucer (activity center seat). So, one gift each, but they are worth a lot.
I feel bad that I can't remember this-- how long are you guys planning on staying in China?ReplyDelete
my husband and I don't really do christmas :P we take ourselves out somewhere fancy through, like a fondu place or something and call it a day!ReplyDelete
I totally understand the chocolate orange and the Nerds--they are some of my favorites! :)ReplyDelete
We sometimes treat each other to a fancy meal out as a gift to each other... Somewhere we haven't been, but have wanted to try.ReplyDelete

I contacted a number of pro-gun legislators, mostly Republican. I received form letters decrying regulations and expressing fear the Obama Administration is trying to weaken or abolish the Second Amendment. My remarks are in response to the form letters.
I agreed with letter content in that reducing gun violence (not just in schools) is a very complex task. The adverse effect of violence in the media and of the breakdown of family life is known to all of us. This concern, however, fails to take into consideration the instrument of all this violence, firearms. Making significant changes in our mental health system and in other elements of our society could require decades or even generations. Stopping the sale of assault weapons would not appreciably decrease the number of gun deaths anytime soon. It should slow the culture of violence. What is the impact of knowing civilians walk around with these �killing machines�? Just being law-abiding does not mean that a person is emotionally stable and entitled to own a gun.
The letters implied the Obama Administration wants to cripple and possibly do away with the Second Amendment. As President Obama and Vice President Biden have repeatedly made clear, there is no intention of taking away an individual�s guns, just the instruments of mass destruction. The administration does want to ensure that firearms remain in responsible hands. Much has been written in the past 200-plus years about the Second Amendment. It was written to ensure there were armed citizens to protect the young and fragile U.S. government. It was not written to prevent a tyrant from taking power. The Constitution set up balloting for that purpose. The Supreme Court affirmed the individual�s right to bear arms. It did not say the individual could possess cannons and hand grenades.
The gun debate is under way. The form letters indicated legislators� disagreement with most of the administration�s recommendations. I am hopeful that our legislators are flexible and will go along with sane measures to control gun violence.

D.C. should continue Gabe Klein's transportation progress
JUST AS Michelle A. Rhee changed the course of education in the District, so did Gabe Klein redirect its transportation policy. As transportation director, Mr. Klein aimed to make the city more livable by giving people more options in getting around. His departure has some worried about the future of his progressive policies, but we believe their success will make it hard to turn back.
Mr. Klein announced last week that he received a termination letter from Mayor-elect Vincent C. Gray and that, accordingly, in January will leave the post he has held for 22 months. Mr. Klein was upbeat, saying - quite correctly - that the incoming mayor "has every right to put somebody in that he thinks fits with his vision for the city." More to the point, he was optimistic about prospects for smart-growth policies that were pursued during Mayor Adrian M. Fenty's administration. These include an emphasis on pedestrian safety, expansion of the downtown Circulator bus service, the trolley project and, perhaps most notably, the encouragement of cycling as an alternative through the bike-share program and construction of more bike lanes.
Some of these policies and the vigor that went into their implementation were unsettling in a city used to a more staid and reactive transportation department. No one likes to have to pay more for parking, but there are sound reasons to discourage driving. It's been unfortunate that these sensible ideas in urban planning - many conceived well before Mr. Fenty took office - got caught up in an acrimonious debate about race and other divides that cleave the city. Mr. Klein said he was more aware of an age divide, and it will be up to his successor to try to ameliorate those tensions. For starters, we would suggest a greater emphasis on the responsibilities of cyclists, both to prevent tragedies like the recent death of an elderly man hit by a biker and to prevent the kind of backlash against cycling that has occurred in other cities. Police should enforce the traffic laws, which apply to bicycles as well as cars.
Mr. Gray has given no clue as to who will replace Mr. Klein. It's encouraging, though, that he has expressed support for the transportation approaches fostered by Mr. Klein. Significantly, funding for the H Street-Benning Road streetcar project was protected even as the council made painful budget cuts last week. If the appointment is of the same caliber as his choice of Allen Y. Lew for city administrator, there will be good reason to be upbeat.

Parents of Typically Developing Children
"Choosing Good Shepherd was one of the best decisions we have made for our son. From our first visit, we felt at ease with leaving our child in the caring hands of the educators here. Educating children here is truly a team effort. Every staff member that we encounter with our child greets him by name and knows some special detail about him.
From the classrooms to the offices, I can tell that each and every person who works at this school is invested in the education of my child and all of the children under their care. This investment shows in the great progress we have seen our son make in the time he has attended Good Shepherd.
From learning to communicate with sign language at only six months old to coming home counting in Spanish before he was two, our son's learning has gone so far beyond what we had ever expected. Because of all of the learning that happens here, we rarely refer to it as "daycare."
From day one, it was clear that this was more than just babysitting; Good Shepherd is a nurturing and enriching learning environment for children. We are so happy that we made this choice for our son and can't wait to see the same kind of growth and development as we start our youngest at the school in the coming months."
-Jennifer B.
"Good Shepherd School for Children is a boutique child care facility. It is small in size; sees each child as an individual with individual needs; and provides partnership with parents to ensure each child reaches his full potential.
Our enrollment in Good Shepherd School for Children has been one of the best decisions we have made regarding our children's development. As working parents, my husband and I laid out guidelines of what the ideal day care/pre-school would offer to our child. It included the foundational items that every parent wants for their child(ren) a safe environment with a low child to teacher ratio, where trusted caregivers provided love in a structured environment.
After many site visits to other franchised daycare chain facilities, we agreed we wanted a better opportunity for our child(ren) that expanded beyond the foundational items. The opportunity we envisioned encompassed the idea of education and enrichment at every stage of development.
We found Good Shepherd School for Children to be the ideal match that met all of our foundational needs plus, our desire for an educational approach.
As a long-term member of Good Shepherd, I can attest the teachers on staff are dedicated to providing each child with the experiences and tools to aid in their education and development. They inspire creativity, and learning through play and structured activities. They recognize and praise a child when they have met a milestone, or mastered a new complex idea.
My oldest son was solidly prepared for his entry into elementary school. He had such a strong foundation of language, math, science and social interactions because of his time at Good Shepherd School for Children that he transitioned to kindergarten without any concerns.
I know Good Shepherd School for Children will be a valuable contributor to your child's long term development and education."

I, Citizen
The Unforseen Victory from McDonald v. City of Chicago
June 28, 2010
by Michael D. McFarland
Today, the Supreme Court ruled along predictable ideological lines in favor of protections of individual gun rights and against the City of Chicago's law banning handguns. Much has been made about the National Rifle Association's lobbying efforts and seemingly overreaching influence. The court ruled on the same side of this case as the NRA fought for. The basis for the ruling came down to a protection of rights guaranteed under the Second Amendment to the Constitution, which states:
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Many regard this as a conditional privilege and those who hold that opinion point to the "well regulated Militia" part of the Amendment to reinforce their case. On the other hand, many regard this as an unalienable right of American citizens as evidenced by the "shall not be infringed" part of the Amendment. Both positions are worthy of valid debate.
What the Supreme Court relied on today in their ruling is Section 1 of the 14th Amendment, which states:
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
What's important to note is that the Supreme Court reinforced the power of this clause by using it as a basis for their ruling. What should stick out to everyone is that "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States". By reaffirming this section – even if the justices in favor of today's ruling only meant to reaffirm a particular provision of this section – they have strengthened ALL of it. That means that they strengthened the "nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws".
What does that mean to 'We the People'? Well, it means that the 15th Amendment, which pertains to racial discrimination in voting, is strengthened. It means the 19th Amendment, which pertains to a woman's right to vote, is strengthened. It means that the 24th Amendment, which pertains to prohibiting poll taxes, is strengthened. It strengthens these by the reaffirmation that these rights cannot be infringed upon by any law of the State.
Where this will be evident is in Arizona as it relates to the recent immigration law and the 4th Amendment, which pertains to illegal searches and seizures. The moment a single US citizen of immigrant origin is detained because he cannot provide proof of citizenship and his rights are therefore violated, he has an immediate case against the state and the Supreme Court today reaffirmed that citizen's protection from the laws of the State of Arizona. As if the law wasn't already unconstitutional because it assumes Federal responsibilities to the State, this only sets the precedent that it is now unconstitutional at the individual level.
It will be more evident in the right to privacy that was reaffirmed in Roe v. Wade. Remember, that decision was tethered to the right to privacy as guaranteed by the 4th Amendment. While the case did rule on the basis of "viability" of the fetus, the fundamental basis of that case was privacy. That's right. Roe v. Wade was a ruling of privacy. Therefore, based on today's ruling, Oklahoma's recent legislation that would publish women who get abortions is a direct violation of person's privacy due to a State law.
Now that the Supreme Court reaffirmed Constitutional protections and rights for the individual against the States, where will the implications be seen beyond Arizona, Roe v. Wade and Oklahoma? Can a legal argument be made that dry counties (counties where the sale of alcohol is prohibited) are a violation of a citizen's rights? After all, isn't the legal purchase of alcohol a voluntary market exchange and hasn't Prohibition been settled by the 21st Amendment? And though Section 2 of the 21st Amendment does cede control to municipalities and States, those laws can now no longer infringe upon the rights of the individual. In short, what can of worms was really opened by today's ruling?
It almost seems a bit retroactive to say that the 2nd Amendment is guaranteed to all individuals because of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment, but that precedent is now set. This ruling is a big brick wall. Say what you will about your position on gun ownership, but it is irrelevant in this discussion. What matters are the broad and expansive implications of this ruling. In some regards, this could be viewed as a huge Federal overreach of States' rights and we'll see if that debate materializes. What this means at its core is that American citizens, wherever home is in whatever State, has rights protected by the Constitution that supercede any legislation put forth by the States.
Now that individual rights are paramount to State laws, don't be surprised to see this precedent reverberate in many different manifestations.

Confessional Hotline
In 2004, This American Life aired an episode with stories about apologies. One segment described an apology hotline that used to be in service, for people who wanted to call and recount anything they felt the need to apologize for. It reminded me of a confessional... but in a more technological way. Hence, this.

Lab & X-Ray Diagnostic Services
Student Health Center Clinical Laboratory:
The Student Health Center lab is a California Licensed, CLIA accredited, on-site clinical lab providing diagnostic testing that aids in the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of infections and other medical conditions under treatment by Student Health Center physicians and nurse practitioners. Lab services are provided by a California Licensed Clinical Laboratory Scientist.
On-site blood draws and lab tests such as strep screens, CBCs, urine tests, urine & wound cultures, pregnancy tests, etc. ordered by SHC clinicians are done without additional charge to regularly enrolled SSU students during the regular academic year. Nominal fees are in place for laboratory testing done during the summer and for more complex testing such as pap smears, blood chemistries, hormonal tests, etc. that need to be performed in a more specialized setting off campus. Fees are due at the time of service.
The Student Health Center lab works with an off-campus licensed clinical laboratory when more complex laboratory testing is medically indicated. Specimens for this kind of testing are collected and prepared by SHC staff and transported by courier to specialized testing sites off campus. In so doing, the SHC keeps the cost of off campus complex testing relatively low and is able to pass these savings on to SSU students.
Student Health Center X-ray:
X-ray services at the Student Health Center (SHC) are provided by a California Licensed Radiologic Technologist, using state of the art digital X-ray equipment to perform plain X-ray studies as ordered by SHC physicians and nurse practitioners.
Plain X-ray studies include images of the chest, abdomen, bones, joints, and soft tissues. X-ray images are reviewed by the SHC medical staff member caring for the patient, to facilitate initial diagnosis and treatment. This is followed by a formal interpretation by a contracted group of Board Certified radiologists. The SHC is able to send digital images to the contracted radiology group the same day and even for immediate interpretation in urgent situations.
There is no charge for x-rays ordered for medical indication by SHC clinicians providing basic acute health care for acute illnesses or injuries to regularly enrolled SSU students during the academic year. There is a modest fee for duplicating X-ray images on DVD to take to physicians outside the SHC. Fees are also charged for X-rays that are elective in nature (such as an X-ray required by an athletic or job physical) as well as for X-rays taken to follow-up of pre-existing conditions not related to acute illness or injury that has been under treatment at the SHC and for X-rays taken during the summer.
X-ray services are available on site during the regular academic year and for only a small portion of the summer. Nominal user fees are charged for all summer services at the SHC. Fees are due at the time of service. During the summer periods when the SHC X-ray department is closed, students needing X-rays are referred off campus. Students are also referred off campus when special imaging studies such as ultrasound, CT or MRI studies are indicated. Students are financially responsible for all medical services from off campus providers.

An Uber passenger raised over $8,000 to send her driver to Rio to watch his son compete in the Olympics
Thanks to the efforts of an Uber passenger, an Olympian's father is now heading to Rio to watch his son compete.
Uber driver Ellis Hill was driving passenger Liz Willock on an hour-long trip in Philadelphia when Hill revealed that his son would be competing in the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, according to People. When Hill said he couldn't afford to go to the games, Willock wanted to help.
Here's what she told People:
"It was devastating to hear that. Here's this wonderful man who has a close relationship with his son and I know any parent would want to see their son or daughter compete at the Olympics, but it was very understandable how that could be out of reach."
Willock knew several people in the travel industry, since she works for a concierge service that helps people who are seeking clinical trials find travel and accommodations, according to People. She immediately created a GoFundMe, asking for $7,500 to help Hill see his son Darrell compete in shot put at the Olympics.
The fund raised $8,200 in just a week and now Hill is headed to Rio.
Uber itself even got involved in the fundraising. According to NBC Philadelphia, Uber is providing Ellis with a $250 gift certificate to a restaurant in Rio and $1,000 in Uber credits to use while he's in Brazil.

Video by Susan Worsham
Thought not directly autobiographical, Susan Worsham's Some Fox Trails in Virginia acts as a metaphorical map of the rediscovered paths of her childhood home and the people she knew as a girl. Inspired by stories told by her oldest neighbor Margaret Daniel, Worsham's photographs replay her memories in pictures. In Black Walnut Bride she turns the camera on Margaret and her husband Harrison and blends family photos with her own images to add a new dimension to her family history, bridging the gap between her past and the present.
Susan Worsham was born in Richmond Virginia. She took her first photography class while studying graphic design in college. In 2009 Susan was nominated for the Santa Fe Prize For Photography, and her book, Some Fox Trails In Virginia, won first runner up in the fine art category of the Blurb Photography Book Now International Competition. In 2011 She was named one of Photo District News 30 Emerging Photographers to watch and her work was chosen to represent the United States in The Lishui 14th International Photography Festival In China. Named one of Oxford American's "New Superstars of Southern Art," she has been an artist-in-residence at Light Work in Syracuse, New York, where her work was published in Contact Sheet 168: Bittersweet/Bloodwork. Her photographs are held in private collections, and have been exhibited at the New York Photo Festival, The Australian Centre for Photography, The Photographic Center Northwest, and the Danville Museum in Virginia. Her solo shows include, Candela Books + Gallery in Richmond, Virginia, Light Work in Syracuse, New York, and The Ogden Museum of Southern Art, New Orleans.

Project management is now possible anywhere thanks to the explosion in mobile devices. But the last thing you need on a mobile device is something complex and clunky. Just because an iPhone project management app is complex, it does not always mean it's more useful. There's nothing worse than fumbling around on your phone to use features and functions you neither need or understand which only ends up stressing you out even more.
There are basically two things you need to think about when it comes to finding the best project management apps for iPhones. The first thing is to make sure that the app helps you to assign and distribute work in the right way. The second and equally important thing is that you can instantly analyze project analytics on the move so you can keep on top of project goals. This can be a tricky to get right – especially on smaller screens such as iPhones – and some iOS project management apps simply don't give you enough solutions to do both effectively.
Fortunately iPhone project management apps are improving all the time with better user interfaces, simpler, streamlined processing and powerful functions that may in some cases be even better than desktop solutions.
So here are 5 project management apps that get it right when it comes to managing projects on the move on your iOS device. All of these iPhone project management apps are free to download although you'll need a subscription with the corresponding cloud project management software vendor to use them.
ProWorkflow started out as an internal project management tool, but has been steadily improved with feedback from users.
It has all the project management features you'd expect in an iPhone project management app, such as task management, resource scheduling and analytics and the app features have been streamlined for use on iOS.
ProWorkflow is just as at home managing a large enterprise as it is for small business on desktop. Although the ProWorkflow iPhone app doesn't render quite as well as it does on the desktop, it's useful to have access to your projects while you're on the move.
Wrike takes a bit of a different approach to project management by mixing social collaboration and task management features into one powerful package for iPhone.
Like Proworkflow, Wrike is a one-size-fits-all solution but the standout feature is the real-time collaboration tools which deliver regular updates to users with updates on projects as changes are made.
There's a useful smart activity stream which makes it easy for team members and managers to see everything that's happening within the team and you get individual live updates delivered to your iPhone via user profiles. When you add this the powerful analytics tools that are included in Wrike to get an instant visual overview of a project's progress, it packs a powerful project management punch on the move.
Insightly is better known as a CRM for businesses to capture information about customers, sales leads and tasks, but it can also be used as a project management tool on your iOS device.
Insightly is designed to help you process information fast on your mobile and is easy to use. Everything is controlled by the project overview screen which gives instant access to features such as creating tasks, milestones and pipelines for projects, tracking email correspondence, assigning roles to users and getting automatic email updates.
Insightly allows you to get a sample of its free project management tools with a free trial. The iPhone app is free but after the free trial ends you need to pay for a subscription.
Mavenlink is similar to Wrike in that it puts a big focus on collaboration when it comes to project management on iPhone. Although there's no actual free iPhone project management app to download, Mavenlink has recently revamped an HTML5 version of the app so it is optimized for iOS.
Mavenlink allows you to share documents and files with others easily and provides a complete cloud-based solution for managing the entire project delivery lifecycle. With it you can complete projects, track time, plan resources, and monitor financial performance, all from the comfort of your iPhone with a user friendly, easy to use interface.
Mavenlink is available as a Team Plan, Professional Plan and Premier Plan and you can try it for free first.
AtTask (Workfront)
AtTask has now changed its name to Workfront but the iPhone app still goes under the old name. AtTask is a powerful web project management solution that's integrated with Salesforce. AtTask gives you a holistic view of your projects by integrating internal and external views so you can see things from all angles.
AtTask on desktop features powerful management features such as customizable reports & dashboards, time & resource management, Helpdesk support & issue tracking. Unfortunately, it seems the iPhone app is still someway behind the desktop browser app and it's definitely due an update to not only rename it Workfront but add all the features that are missing in AtTask. For example, AtTask for iPhone is nowhere near as customizable as Workfront which is one of things that makes the cloud version so good.
These are all handy iPhone project management tools when you're on the move but tell us what web-based project management tools do you use on iOS? Let us know in the comments below. Or if you still haven't found what you're looking for, check out what project management apps other companies are using by checking out GetApp's reviews section.

Context: Panter
by John Dermot Woods on Nov.30, 2010
I want to talk more about what I think the prevailing influences are on the "art comics" being made today. This conversation should have begun with Gary Panter. Sure, I know there is the undeniable influence of Jack Kirby (most creators read superhero comics at some point), Robert Crumb, maybe Dave Sim, Moebius, Art Spiegelman, etc. But all the influence is of all these guys has been so abstracted. The one that is less adulterated is Panter. His work is so diverse and extensive, that it certainly serves as an example of why these brief history posts are unfairly reductive. Nevertheless, the guy who create Jimbo and won an Emmy for Pee-Wee's Playhouse title sequence is the best entry point for understanding much of today's comics avant garde.
In 1980, Panter wroter the "Rozz-Tox Manifesto." Read it here. This document explained Panter's idea of artists (particularly in America) admitting that they worked within a capitalist system and using this as a means to reach a larger audience (or market) rather than seeing it as an artistic straight-jacket. Whether this manifesto is a document of hope or immense self-delusion, the methods described seem to have served Panter well – he has earned a living off of his work for over thirty years, and never, in my opinion, does it show signs of compromise for market.
Panter's old L.A. buddy Matt Groening says this his work is inspired by Rozz Tox – seems to have worked out for him.
It's essential to understand the Panter came out of a 70's L.A. punk background (and an Evangelical Oklahoma childhood), so his work bears more similarities to this
than those who came before him and worked a little further up the California coast.
Panter's work is executed in a rough, punk, style, using lots of pens, think paints, bright colors, and bold sketchiness. His work often features a thuggish punk icon, Jimbo, who Panter has even employed in an exploration of Dante's Divine Comedy with his books, published in fancy art edition, Jimbo in Purgatory and Jimbo's Inferno.
The first work of Panter's that I ever read, that confounded me enough to never forget the guy, was his Dal Tokyo strips. This is Panter's vision of the future of Mars, told in regular monthly strips full of heavy inky marks, and just discernible characters and landscapes. Stranglely enough, the strip was serialized for a very long time in a monthly Japanese reggae magazine called Riddim. (I'd be interested in figuring out the story behind that.)
Panter most recent evolution is into that of a light artist, along with his collaborator Joshua White. Here's a video of one of their installations:
Panter's influence can be seen clearly in the work of the Fort Thunder artists who we discussed recently, as well as in the compositions of Frank Santoro, and the ambitious explorations of Dash Shaw, some of whom Panter has played a mentor to.
If you want to see a lot more of Panter's work, go find this boulder-sized omnibus that Picture Box put out a few years ago. (Or, if you don't live in Brooklyn, or Portland, OR, then ask your local librarian to order it.)
