Pestilence and Headcolds: Encountering Illness in Colonial Mexico
I've noticed a boom in people dropping by my post about the Codex Badianus, an Aztec book of medicine. Sadly, I've never found a full-text copy of that one online as all the translations so far seem to be still under copyright. However, I did find an entire academic exploration of sickness and medicine in Mexico during the colonial period, Pestilence and Headcolds: Encountering Illness in Colonial Mexico! Written in 2008 by Sherry Fields, it covers how the colonized peoples of Mexico understood and dealt with illness and health, including viewpoints spanning from persistent pre-Conquest traditions to Colonial syncretisms to the new European concepts. Of particular interest are sections drawn from native-generated primary sources and contemporary colonial medical records. The author's kindly made the whole text available to read online for free. To check it out, look below.

That Is Not Dead Which Can Eternal Lie
In honor of the springtime finally rolling around after this seemingly-endless winter, I'd like to introduce you to a mysterious creature which the Aztecs said dies and rises with the seasons.
"In the winter, it hibernates. It inserts its bill in a tree; [hanging] there it shrinks, shrivels, molts. And when [the tree] rejuvenates, when the sun warms, when the tree sprouts, when it leafs out, at this time [it] also grows feathers once again. And when it thunders for rain, at that time it awakens, moves, comes to life."
What is this mysterious creature that defies death?
It's the hummingbird (huitzitzili in Nahuatl).
Incidentally, remember that the hummingbird is Huitzilopochtli's symbol, and note that many hummingbirds, including several species in Mexico, have the brilliant blue-green color of divinity for their plumage, just like another sacred bird, the resplendent quetzal. These feathers, believed to have been shed like dead leaves in the fall, are linked to fresh, living plants by Sahagun's informant, called into existence after the warmth of the sun, power of the sky gods, works in tandem with the watery might of Tlaloc and the other earth and vegetation gods, spiraling together to burst forth in life and movement. Thus, a bird that's possibly the perfect representation of the sky with its ability to hover and move at will in the air, shows its other face as a facet of the earth/water/plant divinity complex, a deity web that also extends into the realm of the dead. Thus, this tiny little winged jewel is a microcosm of the vast world around it and the deities interwoven in the system.

Update: Updated & Expanded Links For The Cantares Mexicanos & the Ballads of the Lords of New Spain
Sharp-eyed reader M.P. spotted some changes on the University of Texas websites for the Ballads of the Lords of New Spain and the Cantares Mexicanos. Thanks to their timely alert, I've updated my links to the full texts and bonus materials for the two foundational collections of Aztec poetry and song. As an extra stroke of good fortune, since my original post they've added the Nahuatl-English Dictionary & Concordance volume that originally accompanied the print edition of the Cantares Mexicanos. Just like the main volume, it is also freely available as a downloadable PDF.
Alarcón: Prayers For Protection From Evil While Sleeping
Among the populace of the Aztec empire, the line between religion and magic often blurred in day to day life. While the priestly class held a great amount of power in mediating between the people and the gods, and by extension had a powerful influence on directing orthodoxy, folk practices flourished within the family household. One of these was the practice of offering prayers and desirable substances (often copal incense, tobacco, and sometimes blood) to the lesser spiritual beings inhabiting everything from the trees to the crops to the tools by which people lived. While these animistic entities were less grand than the mighty cosmic lords like Huitzilopochtli and Quetzalcoatl, with their broad power over the universe and the state, these local spirits had their own gifts. This influence carried extra weight for the humble individual due to its intimate proximity — while Tezcatlipoca's wrath could lay waste to the entire kingdom, the fury of a small farmer's sole cornfield could prove just as deadly for that individual as his livelihood dried up.
In this post, I'll share with you a set of three of these short folk prayer-spells, collected by the inquisitor Hernando Ruiz de Alarcón in his "Treatise on Heathen Superstitions" in the early 17th century. These incantations were intended to guard a sleeper against evildoers invading his or her home in the night, and to express gratitude in the morning for a safe rest. Note that the supplicant in these prayers is actually praying to the spirits of their bed and their pillow, rather than a more familiar high god like Tlaloc. Incantations are quoted from the excellent English translation of Alarcón by J. Richard Andrews and Ross Hassig. Incidentally, if you can read Spanish, I found a full text copy of the Paso y Tronsco fascimile online at the Biblioteca Virtual Miguel de Cervantes, viewable by clicking HERE. Commentary about each prayer is my own material.
Let it be soon, O my jaguar mat, you who lie opening your mouth toward the four directions. You are very thirsty and also hungry. And already the villain who makes fun of people, the one who is a madman, is coming. What is it that he will do to me? Am I not a pauper? I am a worthless person. Do I not go around suffering poverty in the world?
The supplicant here calls upon his bed ("jaguar mat"), a mat made of reeds and palm fronds to protect him from the nocturnal sorcerer, the nahual. This particular flavor of witch was greatly feared throughout the region due to his ability to control minds, paralyze, and shapeshift. He was believed to often indulge in robbery like a cat burglar, breaking into homes in the dead of night to bewitch and rob his prey. Sometimes, he would violate and kill his victims. Interestingly, Quetzalcoatl was noted by Sahagún in the Florentine Codex to be the patron of this supernatural lawbreaker.
The structure of this prayer is double-layered — the supplicant begins with calling on the spirit of his bed to protect him, but then shifts to make a declaration of his extreme poverty and worthlessness as a robbery target. Perhaps he had in mind a subtle defense here — rather than asking the spirit to try to destroy or disempower the witch, which might be unlikely to work as they were considered to be quite strong, he's asking it to trick the burglar by convincing him that there's nothing of value in this house, better go somewhere else.
The bed itself is described in an interesting way. It reaches out towards the four directions, thus anchoring it very firmly in physical space, but also possibly linking it to the greater spiritual ecosystem, as a common verbal formula of invoking the whole community of the divine is to call to all the directions and present them with offerings. It also reminds me of the surface of the earth (tlalticpac) which similarly fans out as a flat plane towards the cardinal directions, making the bed a tiny replica of the earthly world. The reference to gaping mouths, hunger, and thirst acknowledges that the spirit of the bed has its own needs and implies that the speaker will attend to them. In the Aztec world, nothing's free, and a favor requested is a favor that will have to be paid for. Alarcón doesn't note what offering is given to the mat here, but in other invocations of household objects recorded in the book, tobacco and copal smoke come up repeatedly.
Let it be soon, O my jaguar seat, O you who are wide-mouthed towards the four directions. Already you are very thirsty and also hungry.
This prayer is the companion of the one discussed above, except directed to the sleeper's pillow (the "jaguar seat"). Incidentally, you might be wondering why these two objects are named "jaguar." Andrews and Hassig speculate in their commentary that it may have been inspired by the mottled appearance of the reeds making up the bedding. I think it may be a way of acknowledging that these simple, seemingly-mundane objects house a deeper, supernatural power. The jaguar is a creature of the earth, of the night, and sorcery in Mesoamerican thinking, and in particular is a symbol of Tezcatlipoca. It doesn't seem like a coincidence to me that a nocturnal symbol is linked to things so intimately tied to sleep and being interacted with in the context of their magical power. The adjective "jaguar" also appears elsewhere in Aztec furniture as the "jaguar seat" of the kings and nobles, which is often used as a symbol of lordly authority. The gods themselves are sometimes drawn sitting on these jaguar thrones, including in the Codex Borbonicus (click to view). Once again, another possible link to ideas of supernatural power and rulership — authority invoked to control another supernatural actor, the dangerous witch.
O my jaguar mat, did the villain perhaps come or not? Was he perhaps able to arrive? Was he perhaps able to arrive right up to my blanket? Did he perhaps raise it, lift it up?
This final incantation was to be recited when the sleeper awoke safely. He muses about what might have happened while he slumbered. Maybe nothing happened… or maybe a robber tried to attack, coming so close as to peek under the blanket at the defenseless sleeper, but was turned away successfully by the guardian spirits invoked the previous night. Either way, the speaker is safe and sound in the rosy light of dawn, alive to begin another day.

The Bancroft Dialogues: Advice On Good Manners
Today I'd like to introduce you to an important little book commonly referred to as the Huehuetlatolli – Discursos en Mexicano, or by its English nickname "the Bancroft Dialogues." It's a collection of early post-Conquest speech from the Aztec nobility, probably collected sometime in the late 16th century. It's valuable both to linguists for its preservation of numerous samples of elite, upper-class speech , and to anthropologists for its social content. Frances Karttunen and James Lockhart produced the only English translation of the book in 1987 (out of print and difficult to find these days, I'd scan and post my copy for all to read if I could). If you can read Spanish, you may be able to acquire Angel Garibay's edition, published in volume 1 and 2 of the journal Tlalocan in 1943.
The extract I've chosen to share is a short speech given by an older nobleman to some youths under his care about how to behave well, both in public and private. As the text identifies the listeners as "boys," it's possible this advice was given by a teacher at the calmecac or telpochcalli schools discussed in one of my earlier posts. Without further delay, here it is!
Advice on good breeding from an old man to some boys
Let us go to the house of our Lord to pray and hear His holy offices. Go along spread out in front of me, don't go shoving each other, go along properly, don't go looking sideways and making faces. People will say the devil has gotten into you. And if you meet someone somewhere, greet the person and speak to him. If it is one of the nobles, or one of the lords your progenitors who rule the city, or an old man or an old woman, you are to stand to one side until they pass by and bow down to them. Don't shove people or knock them down.
Listen, my youngest ones, much sleeping is bad, for it makes people fall ill and grow idle. Get up early in the morning, and that way you will live in health and not be heavy with sickness. Were not the rulers who left you behind brought up in the same way? How was it that it was said that I really spied and saw them? (I.e. I know what I am talking about?)
Immediately the elder begins with an exhortation to attend to worship. At the time this speech was collected, he would have been referring to the Christian god, but the original pre-Conquest form of the dialogue would have referred to the traditional Aztec gods. This inclusion of an emphasis on good relation with the divine is pretty typical of many of the huehuetlatolli I've read, even for ones that aren't specifically about religious practice. It descends from that lofty subject to more mundane instructions on what not to do so they won't be scolded as little brats. As the Aztec community was a heavily class-conscious society, much of the deference the children are told to display is directed at the aristocracy — you'll note that all nobles are to be bowed to without any requirements of age, but only the elderly receive special honor without concern for their class. Men and women alike are to be honored.
The elder leaves behind the instructions in etiquette and the external benefits from good manners to advise the kids on habits that will benefit them as individuals. However, he reinforces the personal benefits of moderation in sleep by citing tradition, as their ancestral role models supposedly followed these habits. In other speeches recorded in the Bancroft Dialogues, we see a recurring emphasis on health — many of the different greetings revolve around formalized questions as to how someone's health is, and concern with avoiding illness and physical discomfort. Linking this concern with vitality to the need for moderation hints at the key virtue of temperance in Mexica culture, something I've explored in more depth in an older post if you're interested.

A Few Aztec Riddles
Watching the Hobbit in theatres last weekend got me thinking about riddles. Not only are they amusing, but the figurative language and ideas contained within them can point to interesting tidbits of culture. I've pulled a few of my favorites from the Florentine Codex and included them below, in slightly more informal language. After each riddle and its answer I've added some of my own notes and interpretations of the concepts they nod to (the commentary is my own work, not that of Anderson and Dibble).
Q: What's a small blue gourd bowl filled with popcorn?
A: It's the sky.
Mesoamerican cosmology divides the universe into sky and heavens (topan) above, the earth's surface like a pancake or tortilla in the middle (tlalticpac), and the underworld (mictlan) below. Though all three have their own distinct and separate characteristics, they interpenetrate to a certain degree, and this riddle hints at that in a playful manner. The gourd itself is a product of the earth and its underworld powers, doubly so as it's a water-filled plant (and is often likened to the human head), as is popcorn. In fact, first eating corn is the moment where an infant becomes bound to the earth deities as it takes of their bounty and starts to accumulate cold, heavy "earthy-ness" within its being. It's also the start of a debt to the earth and vegetation gods — as They feed the child, one day that child will die and return to the earth to feed Them. I covered some aspects of this idea in my Human Corn post, if you're curious to read more.
Q: What's the little water jar that's both carried on the head and also knows the land of the dead?
A: The pitcher for drawing water.
The land of the dead is traditionally conceived of as a place dominated by the elements of earth and water, filled with cool, oozy dampness. Rivers, wells, springs, and caves were places where the underworld power was considered to leak through to the mortal realm. Not only did this power seep through to us, but we could sometimes cross through them to reach the underworld as well (the legendary Cincalco cave being one of the most famous of these doors). Thus, thrusting the jar down into a watering hole or a spring, breaking through the fragile watery membrane, was sending it into Tlaloc and Chalchiuhtlicue's world in a way.
Q: What lies on the ground but points its finger to the sky?
A: The agave plant.
The agave plant, called metl in Nahuatl and commonly referred to as a maguey in the old Spanish sources, is a plant loaded with interesting cultural associations. Its heart and sap is tapped to produce a variety of traditional and modern liquors like pulque, octli, and tequila, linking it to the earth-linked liquor gods like Nappatecuhtli, Mayahuel, and even Xipe Totec and Quetzalcoatl in their pulque god aspects. Additionally, each thick, meaty leaf is tipped with a long black spine that's much like a natural awl. This spine was one of the piercing devices used by priests and the general public alike to perform autosacrifice and offer blood to the gods. Lastly, the beautiful greenish-blue color of the leaves of some species (like the blue agave), is the special color traditionally associated with beautiful, divine things. Take a look at a photo of the respendent quetzal's tailfeathers — they're just about the same color as the agave.
Q: What's the small mirror in a house made of fir branches?
A: Our eye.
The Aztecs strongly associated mirrors with sight and understanding. Several gods, most notably Tezcatlipoca (the "Smoking Mirror"), possessed special mirrors that would allow them to see and know anything in the world by peering into them. Some of the records we have from before and during the Conquest record that some of the statues of the gods had eyes made of pyrite or obsidian mirrors, causing a worshipper standing before them to see themselves reflected in the god's gaze. In the present day, some of the tigre (jaguar) boxers in Zitlala and Acatlan wear masks with mirrored eyes, discussed in this post and video. One last point on mirrors — in many of the huehuetlatolli (ancient word speeches), the speaker implores the gods to set their "light and mirror" before someone to guide them, symbolizing counsel, wisdom, and good example. The comparison of eyelashes to fir branches is rather interesting, as it reminds me of the common practice in many festivals of decorating altars with fresh-cut fir branches. The two elements combine to suggest a tiny shrine of enlightenment, the magic mirror nestled in its fragrant altar like a holy icon.
Q: What's the scarlet macaw in the lead, but the raven following after?
A: The wildfire.
I included this one simply because I thought it was exceptionally creative and clever. I'm pretty sure it would stump even a master riddler like Gollum!

HAYWARD — Police on Thursday released the identity of a homeless man found slain earlier this month.
William Davis, 48, of Hayward, was killed Sept. 16 after at least one person attacked him in the 24600 block of Whitman Street, Lt. Roger Keener said.
Police were called to the street around 5 a.m. by a report of an injured man. The man, later identified as Davis, had been bludgeoned to death. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
An autopsy determined he died of head trauma.
Keener said Davis, who recently came back to Hayward from Southern California, did not have any known family in the area. He was a transient looking for a place to stay when he was attacked, Keener said.
As of Thursday no arrests had been made and no motive was known.
"There is thus far little to go on," Keener said. "Help from the community who may know something of the incident or of Davis would be helpful."
Anyone with information can call police at 510-293-7172 or the anonymous tip line at 510-293-7197.

Isn't it amazing that we all seem to love General Hospitaldespite the fact that it's scored three strikes within that many weeks? The end of the vampire story was a real disaster, violent and oh so ridiculous. Speaking of ridiculous, isn't Sonny romancing — and sleeping with — both alters, Connie and Kate, that, and kind of disgusting as well? Kind of beating up the mentally ill with a club, no?
But worst of all is the entirely unexpected simplistic writing of the renewed Luke/Laura/Scotty triangle. Who ever would have thought they'd so waste the talents of Geary/Francis/Shriner? The only thing enjoyable about that for which we waited decades is Tracy's jealous (and quite humorous) reaction to it all. Jane Elliot has the only character here that's being given the least bit of sophisticated dialogue and she's been delivering it with aplomb, so deliciously Tracy style.
But now I'm going to say something I know so many viewers don't agree with. I love Sabrina, and have from the very start. Teresa Castillo gives her an innocence and youthful idealism that [Read more…]

Mining and road construction has forced the local giant panda population of Longmen Mountain, Sichuan into an ever smaller and fragmented area. The panda is supposed to be one of China's most loved animals. How can we be willing to let their lives fall wayside in the name of economic development? In addition to impacting the native giant panda population, a Greenpeace report has revealed that phosphate mining in Longmen Mountain greatly exacerbates the risk of landslides and other geological disasters, threatening the safety of miners and residents downstream.

Use of by-products, meat of unidentifiable origin, low quality grains and other controversial filler.
The first ingredient is by-products. It is impossible to ascertain the quality of by-products and these are usually products that are of such low quality as to be rejected for use in the human food chain, or else are those parts that have so little value that they cannot be used elsewhere in either the human or pet food industries. The AAFCO definition of chicken by-product meal is a meal consisting of the ground, rendered, clean parts of the carcass of slaughtered poultry, such as necks, feet, undeveloped eggs and intestines, exclusive of feathers, except in such amounts as might occur unavoidable in good processing practice.
The fouth ingredient is a meat product of unidentifiable origin. It is a meal made from the by-products of carcasses of a variety of animals, but the origin is unidentifiable. We recommend avoiding any pet food using such ingredients.
The primary grains in the food are corn and wheat. Corn is a problematic grain that is difficult for dogs to digest and thought to be the cause of a great many allergy and yeast infection problems. We prefer not to see this used in dog food. The use of wheat is a significant negative: wheat is believed to be the number one cause of allergy problems in dog food. This is another ingredient we prefer not to see used at all in dog food
Beet pulp is filler and a controversial ingredient it is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.
Digest is further low quality ingredient, being: "dried material resulting from chemical and/or enzymatic hydrolysis of clean and undecomposed animal tissue. The animal tissue used shall be exclusive of hair, horns, teeth, hooves and feathers, except in such trace amounts as might occur unavoidably in good factory practice and shall be suitable for animal feed. If it bears a name descriptive of its kind or flavor(s), it must correspond thereto".

Matrix product states and
their continuous analogues are variational classes of states that capture
quantum many-body systems or quantum fields with low entanglement; they are at
the basis of the density-matrix renormalization group method and continuous
variants thereof. In this talk we show that, generically, N-point functions of
arbitrary operators in discrete and continuous translation invariant matrix
product states are completely characterized by the corresponding two- and
three-point functions. Aside from having important consequences for the
structure of correlations in quantum states with low entanglement, this result
provides a new way of reconstructing unknown states from correlation
measurements e.g. for one-dimensional continuous systems of cold atoms. We
argue that such a relation of correlation functions may help in devising
perturbative approaches to interacting theories.
Joint work with Andrea Mari and Jens Eisert.

Thoughtful guest comment below was submitted today by from John Sauve, managing partner with Swardlick Marketing Group, Portland, Maine.
Hug a Researcher Today
Recently, the produce world lost one of its greatest supporters, someone whom most of this industry may never have had occasion to meet or even hear his name mentioned. However, if you grew or sold a single fruit, or veggie, or nut, your business was likely impacted in some way by a remarkable scientist, researcher, and global preacher of the goodness of produce. For some of us, he was in our lives often. And once you were lucky enough to have him in your life, he sort of was always there. He was a special person.
His name was Dr. Jim Joseph.
Jim was the head of the Neuroscience Laboratory at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts in Boston, Massachusetts. His research on fruits, veggies, and nuts and his special, energetic presentations of that research are known around the world.
He spent a lot of his life discovering and studying good things that people could eat so they would be healthier…and live longer, happier lives. Jim called it "successful aging."
Jim loved researching, and eating, fruits, veggies and nuts…all things in a plant based diet. He traveled the world telling audiences everywhere, in many languages, about the wonderful health benefits that God had put inside those magnificent and colorful plant based foods. He believed in God and used Him a lot in his presentations…thanked him often for fruits, veggies and nuts. He co-authored (not with God…at least we don"t think so) the book entitled Color Code: A Revolutionary Eating Plan for Optimal Health…mostly about colorful fruits and veggies…now maybe you recognize his name.
To all of us in the berry and nut business, Jim"s work and humorously passionate presentations helped bring science based and meaningful health messages into our individual product marketing worlds…in a memorable and instructive way.
Indeed, Jim Joseph cared about people and about their lives. He really wanted people to eat healthier and live longer. Those of us who had the pleasure of listening and watching him present his work with his special passion and humor will always remember certain "moments" in his presentations that will stay with us forever. If you spent any time with Jim, you were guaranteed special moments.
At his funeral services in Plymouth, Massachusetts, one of his closest friends, Dr. Don Ingram, from Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Louisiana delivered a moving eulogy that so perfectly characterized Jim. Don finished with the following blessing that so eloquently describes the importance that the world of produce played in Jim"s life…and the new audience that would be listening to Jim"s presentations on the health benefits of produce.
"Dear Lord, we pray for the sake of those assembled here to honor Jim, that you find for him a special place in heaven where he can grow his garden, to share with others, loved ones who have gone on before him, those wonderful fruits and vegetables and nuts, and that they will assemble there to enjoy his special food and to hear his special humor and stories and feel the warmth of his love. We ask those left behind to remember Jim"s special gifts and the contributions that he has made and to keep his memory alive. We honor his life, Father, and we thank you for the privilege of sharing in the life of one your special creations. Amen"
Those of us who had the chance to get close to Jim are fortunate to have been his friends. He was special…and he did special things for the produce world.
We will all miss Dr. Jim Joseph…even if you never knew him.
Researchers like Jim play a vital role in the ultimate success of the produce industry.
Be sure to hug a researcher today.

Green Campus Initiative
Jackson Square Park, the Holland Flood Mitigation Basin and Edison High School's campus and athletic fields combine to represent a significant amount of green space in the heart of the Holland neighborhood. This area has received significant investment in recent years, from the creation of the "Basin" as an aesthetically designed recreational area to the revitalization of Jackson Square Park's facilities and amenities.
The improvements don't end there. The City of Lakes chapter of the Rotary Club donated an award-winning installation of ingeniously designed musical instruments that have proven to be an irresistible draw for children and adults alike. The park and Basin are home to two complementary James Brenner sculptures "In Flux" and "Double Flux" as well as the soon-to-be-completed Edison sign and the "Innovation" backstop, which will crown an improved softball field.
Given that the primary users of this area are our children and young people, it seems only appropriate that attention also be paid to the land management aspect of this "Green Campus". To that end, stakeholders from Public Works, Minneapolis Parks & Rec, Minneapolis Public Schools and the First Ward office worked with Julia Earl of Preventing Harm Minnesota to develop cost-effective joint maintenance protocols that could both save money and efficiencies. At the same time, Mississippi Watershed Management Organization agreed to fund a study to examine projects to improve water quality and potential water collection and reuse in this area.

CHICAGO, Ill. -- The #20 Brandeis University women's soccer team suffered its first road loss of the season this afternoon, falling to host University of Chicago, 6-1, in a University Athletic Association contest. The Judges see a six-match unbeaten streak snapped and fall to 10-2-1, 1-1-1 in the UAA, while Chicago earns its first league win and improves to 8-4, 1-2-0 UAA.
Brandeis struck first in the ninth minute on the second of successive corner kicks. After sophomore Alec Spivack (Miami, Fla./Miami Palmetto Senior) sent her attempt high on a first kick from junior Mary Shimko's (Bay Village, Ohio/Lake Ridge Acad.), the second one found the head of sophomore forward Sapir Edalati (Great Neck, N.Y./Great Neck South). Edalati buried it for her fifth of the season, second on the team.
Unfortunately for the Judges, Chicago equalized 1:34 later, when Julia Ozello converted a cross from Meghan Derken. Derken then scored the game-winning goal in the 17th minute with an assist from Sarah Kwan. The goal marked the first time this season that Brandeis allowed two goals in a half. UC opened the floodgates in the second half, scoring four more goals, including one more each by Ozello and Derken, who each finished with five points, and one by Kwan, who had four points.
The six goals allowed represent twice as many as the Judges had allowed in the rest of the season. Senior Francine Kofinas (Dix Hills, N.Y./Half Hollow Hills West) made four saves in the first half but suffered the loss, while sophomore Michelle Savuto (Ridgewood, N.J./Ridgewood) had two stops in the second half.
The Judges will look to bounce back on Sunday afternoon at #5 Washington University at noon (Eastern).

| 8.4°C Belfast
Chelsea fans were feared to have been involved in trouble in Istanbul on the eve of the club's Champions League match against Galatasaray.
A source with knowledge of the situation told Press Association Sport that two Chelsea supporters were believed to have been stabbed on Tuesday evening, although it was understood neither required any hospital treatment.
Earlier in the evening, a spokeswoman for the Chelsea Supporters' Group expressed surprise at the suggestion of problems facing visiting fans, saying the atmosphere in the city was peaceful.
English fans have been victims of violence in Istanbul before, with Leeds fans Christopher Loftus and Kevin Speight stabbed to death before a UEFA Cup tie in 2000.
The Foreign Office later confirmed it was investigating reports of the incidents which took place around Taksim Square.
"We are looking into reports," said a Foreign Office spokeswoman.
"We have had no confirmation of an incident. If confirmed we stand ready to provide consular assistance."

Errata Editions On-Press: Day Four
The last of this set of Books on Books to be printed is Yutaka Takanashi's Toshi-e. Takanashi was one of the founders of the avant-garde magazine Provoke and of all of the Provoke era publications, Toshi-e is most impressive not only due to the photography but also because of its elegant presentation. Takanashi worked with the designer Kohei Sugiura. In fact, Takanashi entrusted Sugiura with the design, edit and decision to include the second "notebook" booklet of Takanashi's Tokyo-jin series. Most people know Toshi-e as "that large Japanese book with the shiny metal disk on the cover," well now you'll see that it's a bit more complicated than that.
The first order of business after learning Mr. Takanashi was open to the idea of featuring Toshi-e was to put together a rough layout for him to see how the book would work in our format. This meant I needed to quickly find a copy to photograph since this isn't a book that many people would comfortably lend out - it usually goes for anywhere from 4000-7000 dollars in the used book world. I knew John Gossage in DC had a one since that is where I first saw it last year. Thankfully he agreed that I could come photograph the book. It was a make-shift set up but with his help I got the results needed for a layout to send to Mr. Takanashi. I sent it off to Yoko Sawada (who was acting on my behalf since Mr. Takanashi doesn't speak English and my Japanese is a little rusty) and I held my breath for about five days. Finally I received an email saying Yoko had printed out the entire PDF document and shown it to Mr. Takanashi in person. Turned out, he was extremely pleased with how it all looked and gave his final approval.
With every book we do, Robert Hennessey figures out how best to approach the scanning or photographing of each book. As I have mentioned before, each book presents its own possible problems due to the type of printing the original book employed. Books printed in gravure pose fewer possible problems due to that process not having a set, linear dot pattern. If you look at gravure under a loupe you'll see it is much more like film grain than straight lines of dots. This means that when you rephotograph a gravure book and create a line screen over that image to print offset, there is no chance of a moiré pattern appearing.
The two books in Toshi-e were printed in gravure but on different paper stocks. For Toshi-e, Sugiura used a beautiful thick stock while for the Notes: Tokyo-jin booklet, he used a cheap newsprint paper. Robert and I spoke at length about how to reproduce the Notes: Tokyo-jin booklet since the images lacked the tonal range that the larger Toshi-e book achieved, plus, the newsprint paper had a yellowish tone. I thought we'd have to print the booklet in four color as opposed to duotone to match the paper tone but Robert suggested we print in duotone but add a second varnish layer. That second varnish would create the paper tone while we'd be able to control the exact print quality without the chance of color shifts etc.
In order to closely match the newsprint paper tone with the second varnish layer I went to a paint store and picked up dozens of paint chip sample cards within the range of tan to yellow. Finding a close match, I then sent the chip off to C+C Offset along with a few of the files and a test forme and told them to match the sample as closely as possible. A couple weeks later the sample arrived and all looked great.
The first sheets off the press looked good. Since we had done machine proofs a few months ago, C+C was able to quickly get to good starting points with all of the books this time. Although things are going smoothly, this book is 176 pages long (11 signatures of 16 pages) which means I'm in for 22 press checks. We'll be printing into tomorrow morning and then the new dustjackets for my fifth and final day.

The office of Filius Flitwick is a room in Hogwarts Castle, located near the West Tower on the Seventh Floor (thirteenth window from the right). The office contains portraits, a desk, and sleeping quarters.
In Flitwick's desk drawer, he keeps a tin of cupcakes, which he charms to make them dance if any upset Ravenclaws need cheering up.[1]
Sirius Black's imprisonmentEdit
In 1994, Sirius Black was imprisoned in this office after being caught on the grounds of Hogwarts, and was condemned to receive the Dementor's Kiss. However, a time-travelling Harry Potter and Hermione Granger, with the help of the hippogriff Buckbeak, broke into this office from the outside to rescue Sirius.

Villa Sphere - Living and Cooking at lake Garda
When the BORA advantage clear view really counts
Villa Sphere - Living and Cooking at lake Garda. When the BORA advantage clear view really counts...
Landau + Kindelbacher were commissioned to develop the interior design of a villa in the exclusive Villa Eden complex in Gardone by Lake Garda. The villa's location by a mature olive grove along the ridge of a hill made it possible to create a central terrace landscape with a pool. In line with the expressive architecture, the interior design reflects the elegance and exclusivity of the location with a summery design. The richly contrasting palette of colours borrows from things traditionally found in the area: the aquamarine of Lake Garda, the painted wood of the elegant Riva motorboats and the splashes of lemon-yellow from the surrounding lemon orchards.
The kitchen is so understated that you hardly even notice it. Three BORA Professional cooktops, including a special wok cooktop, and two cooktop extractors blend subtly into the design. Their function is less subtle. The home owners are treated to simple operation thanks to the stainless steel rotary knob coupled with permanently fresh air and clear views, with no ugly extractor hood to impair them.
Gardone has been one of the most exclusive resorts on Lake Garda since the end of the 19th century. Designed by top international architects, the luxury resort "Villa Eden - Gardone" consists of several villas, each one unique, and a 6-star clubhouse with a fine restaurant. In addition to high-quality equipment and an incomparable location on Lake Garda, the project also captivates above all through service of the exclusive kind.
Each position of the property has a fantastic lake view. In addition to the architecture, the interior design has managed to meet the high standards of the future owners through an individual design of the luxury villas.

"Jersey Shore" star DJ Pauly D (Paul Delvecchio) says despite an online report claiming he's dating "Teen Mom's" Farrah Abraham, that he's never met the 18-year-old single mom – but he still thinks she's "hot."
FOX411.com reported last week that the duo was dating, but a rep for the reality star told Access Hollywood the romance rumor was false.
"I have never been to Houston, but I do think she's hot," Pauly D said in a statement to Access.
His rep called the rumors nonsense and said that Pauly D is too busy for romance.
"No, that's silly, that's not happening. He thinks she's hot but he's never met the girl," his rep told Access. "Pauly is definitely not dating anyone. He just doesn't have time. There is no time for dating right now."
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, the cast of "Jersey Shore" will be back for a second season of summer shenanigans. MTV president of programming Tony DiSanto told The Associated Press that 12 new episodes of the show would air this summer, and find the crew in a new location.

I have backtrack and metasploitable running on my Macbook pro and I am trying to run
**exploit/unix/webapp/tikiwiki_graph_formula_exec** exploit on msfconsole to penetrate the metasploitable operating system. But once i have setup the IP address of the metasploitable and I run the exploit i get the result "The target is not exploitable". On the other hand when I run the nmap command to check if there is any open port i do find that the
"80/tcp open http".
My question is what could be the problem, i am using Backtrack 5 R3 and metasploitable as my testing machine. Another thing is when I try to run
"*nc Ip address HEAD / HTTP 1.1"* I get that post is unreachable could some one tell me what can be the issue.

Apple cider vinegar is fermented juice from crushed apples. Like apple juice, it probably contains some pectin; vitamins B1, B2, and B6; biotin; folic acid; niacin; pantothenic acid; and vitamin C. It also contains small amounts of the minerals sodium, phosphorous, potassium, calcium, iron, and magnesium. Apple cider vinegar can also contain significant quantities of acetic acid and citric acid. It is used to make medicine.
Apple cider vinegar is used alone or with honey for weak bones (osteoporosis), weight loss, leg cramps and pain, upset stomach, sore throats, sinus problems, high blood pressure, arthritis, to help rid the body of toxins, stimulate thinking, slow the aging process, regulate blood pressure, reduce cholesterol, and fight infection.
Some people apply apple cider vinegar to the skin for acne, as a skin toner, to soothe sunburn, for shingles, insect bites, and to prevent dandruff. It is also used in the bath for vaginal infections.
In foods, apple cider vinegar is used as a flavoring agent.
It can be hard to know what's in some apple cider vinegar products. Laboratory analysis of commercially available apple cider vinegar tablets shows wide variation in what they contain. Amounts of acetic acid ranged from about 1% to 10.57%. Amounts of citric acid ranged from 0% to about 18.5%. Amounts of ingredients listed on the product labels didn't match the laboratory findings. In the US, there is no real definition in the law of what apple cider vinegar must contain to be called apple cider vinegar. So, it is impossible to tell from these analyses whether these commercial products actually contain any apple cider vinegar. How does it work? Apple cider vinegar is the fermented juice of crushed apples. It contains acetic acid and nutrients such as B vitamins and vitamin C. Apple cider vinegar might help lower blood sugar levels in people with diabetes by changing how foods get absorbed from the gut. Apple cider vinegar might prevent the breakdown of some foods. Diabetes. Some preliminary research suggests that consuming vinegar or apple cider vinegar might reduce blood sugar levels after a meal. Slow digestion (gastroparesis). Weight loss. Leg cramps and pain. Unsettled stomach. Sore throats. Sinus problems. High blood pressure. Arthritis. Infection. Weak bones (osteoporosis). Lowering cholesterol. Improving circulation. Acne. Sunburn. Shingles. Bites. Dandruff. Vaginal infections (vaginitis). Other conditions. More evidence is needed to rate apple cider vinegar for these uses.
Consuming apple cider vinegar in food amounts is LIKELY SAFE. Apple cider vinegar is POSSIBLY SAFE for most adults when used short-term for medical purposes.
In some cases, consuming a lot of apple cider vinegar might not be safe. Consuming 8 ounces of apple cider vinegar per day, long-term might lead to problems such as low potassium. There has been one report of a person who developed low potassium levels and weak bones (osteoporosis) after taking 250 mL apple cider vinegar daily for 6 years. In another report, a woman who had an apple cider vinegar tablet lodged in her throat for 30 minutes developed tenderness and pain in her voice box and difficulty swallowing for 6 months following the incident. This was thought to be due to the acid content of the tablet. Special Precautions & Warnings: Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Not enough is known about the safety of using apple cider vinegar as medicine during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side, and don't use it.
Diabetes: Apple cider vinegar might lower blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. Therefore, blood sugar levels need to be monitored closely. Dose adjustments may be necessary for diabetes medications that are taken.
Moderate Interaction Be cautious with this combination Digoxin (Lanoxin) interacts with APPLE CIDER VINEGAR Large amounts of apple cider vinegar can decrease potassium levels in the body. Low potassium levels can increase the side effects of digoxin (Lanoxin). Insulin interacts with APPLE CIDER VINEGAR Insulin might decrease potassium levels in the body. Large amounts of apple cider vinegar might also decrease potassium levels in the body. Taking apple cider vinegar along with insulin might cause potassium levels in the body to be too low. Avoid taking large amounts of apple cider vinegar if you take insulin. Water pills (Diuretic drugs) interacts with APPLE CIDER VINEGAR Large amounts of apple cider vinegar can decrease potassium levels in the body. "Water pills" can also decrease potassium in the body. Taking apple cider vinegar along with "water pills" might decrease potassium in the body too much. Some "water pills" that can deplete potassium include chlorothiazide (Diuril), chlorthalidone (Thalitone), furosemide (Lasix), hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ, HydroDiuril, Microzide), and others.

Brisbane based jeweller and object maker Matt Dwyer (FIO) and I have been working together over the last few months on some collaborative pieces for a client of his - a series of little porcelain, ebony and sterling silver cups to go with a very beautiful ebony and sterling silver teapot he made last year (see pic below). I've left the finished porcelain pieces with him in Brisbane to work his magic on them, inlaying the ebony and sterling silver, and can't wait to see the final result.
We were hoping to do a few more things together but now that I have headed bush it will have to wait-a-while. As much as its nice to be pulling back a little from work, its so hard walking away from things like this! Matt has a beautiful shop/studio/workshop called Fio in at James Street in Brisbane. Drop in if you can, or check out his work here. I'll post images of the final pieces when they are done.

For me, living the tiny life means living a do-it-yourself kinda life. It goes beyond the building of a house on wheels and becomes a style of living that is conscious of so much more. Occupying 98 square feet makes me carefully consider everything I use in the house, from the all-purpose cleaner to the face wash I make! For me, it means an awareness and attempt at less toxicity in my everyday environment. My friend just sent me some great links to recipes concerning this exact subject that I thought would be fun to share.
While there are lots of green house cleaning products out there I love making my own. Check out Ryan's post about the effectiveness of homemade cleaners! It's so easy to do and is 100% toxin-free. Plus, it's so cheap to make and you probably have all the ingredients in your cupboard right now! This recipe takes all of five minutes to whip together and will keep on the shelf for up to a month.
You will need:
a spray bottle
one cup water
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
10 drops tea tree oil
10 drops lavender oil
Now it's as easy as adding all your liquids together in the spray bottle, shaking it up and your good to go! Pretty easy, right? You can also experiment with different essential oils. I've used peppermint, orange and eucalyptus to great effect although lavender and tea tree is my favorite combination. I've also made excellent cleaner by soaking lemon rinds in vinegar for a couple days and then draining the liquid in to a spray bottle as an all-purpose sanitizing agent. The rinds are great scrubbers for the sink as well, leaving a lovely lemony smell to my kitchen!Here you can find my review of an excellent book on sustainable, affordable cleaning products for your home! I highly recommend checking out these alternatives.
Besides cleaning agents, I love to make homemade beauty products. I so enjoy the natural, chemical-free body care items made in my kitchen. I am super anti-parabens and chemicals I can't pronounce so this recently acquired recipe via the Free People blog for coconut milk shampoo was right up my alley! Give it a try and see how it makes you feel!
1/2 cup coconut milk
2/3 cup castile soap
1 tsp vitamin E oil
1 tsp coconut oil
Warm the coconut oil til melted and then mix with other ingredients in a jar. Shake well. Use 1 to 2 teaspoons with each wash. Will keep for up to a month. I normally use Bronner's castile soap for much of my cleaning needs but it does tend to dry out my skin and hair so the coconut milk and oil is perfect for adding the moisture I need in a cold, Vermont climate!
Your Turn!
- Got any go to recipes to share for living a less toxic tiny life? Please share! I love to learn new tricks and ideas for healthy living!

for Sunday, June 14, 2015
All of us can understand that a small seed might produce an enormous plant.
That is the image of the kingdom of God that we find in the Gospel today.
What are we supposed to make of it? Perhaps we can think that if we
nurture the faith within us, it might grow. If we don't nurture faith,
generally it does not grow. If we nurture faith a lot, it can grow into a
might plant within us.
Compare this image with that of the first reading, from the Prophet
Ezekiel. Ezekiel tells us that God can take life from anywhere and
transplant it and it can grow into something mighty. The image that
Ezekiel uses is taking the top of a cedar tree and transplanting it and
watching that top grow into a complete tree, even a mighty and enormous
Saint Paul in the second reading today, from the Second Letter to the
Corinthians, reminds us that our hope is really in the life to come and not
in this life. All of us love this life. That is normal. But we must
learn to walk by faith rather than by the attractions of this world, the
sight of this world. We must begin to think in a new way and live in a new
way because the Kingdom is here in our midst now.
All the readings today speak of this capacity of God to make something out
of nothing. They also speak of our response to God's work in our lives.
We can choose to walk by faith or we can choose to live just in this world.
If we walk by faith, then God can do mighty things in us. Not making
wealthy or powerful or even having lots of things. Rather God can let the
Spirit change us from within so that our life of faith because the center
of our life and we begin to walk only in the way of the Lord.
To follow Jesus Christ is always a challenge for each one of us. Sometimes
we don't spend enough time with the Lord and so we forget his daily
invitation to live with Him and to receive His Spirit and to live for the
Father. Instead, we get caught up in this world and our values become of
this world. The readings today invite us to live in a new way because we
know that the Lord can transform us if we hand ourselves over to Him.
My sisters and brothers, we are invited to make even a small choice today
to choose the ways of the Lord.
Reflections are available for the following Sundays:

TBEEPL necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 11 diseños de 4 diseñadores freelance.
IE Company (use the logo provided)
This is for an industrial equipment company who design and manufacture conveyor systems and relative components, also industrial and security metal detectors and supermarket checkout register belt conveyors.
It will need to keep an "industrial" and professional look, with a "Hey, have you seen that website?" look & feel to it. The main call to action for this website is guiding the user to either:
- Product Enquiry Form
- Contact us Form
We will need an overall layout for a CMS website, so just the homepage will be enough for this project. We can provide you with the ballpark version of the layout if required. You would not be constrained to this design layout, only offering you a fundamental idea. You are similarly welcome to start from scratch, with relevant design requirements (below).
The aforementioned layout needs more activity (design), and a brighter blood red. Once again, it needs a "have you seen that site" feel, and the grey background isn't appealing enough. We want to keep the layout clean and professional, with a twist.
1. Our CUSTOMERS: mainly industrials (global security, mining and process industries);
2. Our PARTNERS: our highly professional and expansive associates and sister companies.
Industrial website needs a fresh, breathtaking look with the WOW Factor (1 PAGE DESIGN)
*** IMPORTANT PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE REQUIREMENTS IN THE ATTACHED DOCUMENT (99-Design-Brief-IECO.odt file)***
As the website is going to be integrated into a content management system (CMS), it is paramount that the design caters to this fact. Eg: the header and menu bar would be fixed throughout the website, with an animated Flash banner (with rotating images ~ homepage only), and content placement fixed. The Calls-To-Action (CTAs) 2, 3, and 4 will be variable in length (see below).
--> read more in the attached document (99-Design-Brief-IECO.odt file) about :
- Layout requirement
- Colour Scheme
- Menu Structure
- Calls to Action
- Flash Banner Animation requirement
- File Formats
File Formats:
Please deliver the files the form of well layered PSD files + jpg of the Homepage Layout
Please provide istockphotos ID number if you choose to use pictures and icon
Whilst this is not our first time to utilise 99 Design, we are moving into an area where we may require your ongoing services. If this project goes smoothly and our client is very satisfied, there is a strong possibility we will be able to hire the chosen designer for additional future design projects.

Think Pink, But Go Green!
October is here, and for some, that means falling leaves, pumpkin spice lattes, football, and pink ribbons -- pink ribbons everywhere. Our awareness of breast cancer has come a long way since a pharmaceutical company started Breast Cancer Awareness Month back in 1985, but the fact remains that despite the billions of dollars that have been spent on the cause, we're apparently no closer to the cure than we were before. It's as if we're more aware of "breast cancer awareness" than the disease itself.
Most of the research for "the cure" still focuses on the same treatments that are not curing cancer; i.e., chemo, drugs, and radiation. The fact remains that the number of deaths per year from breast cancer has remained around 40,000 for the past two decades, and according to breastcancer.org, one in eight women will develop invasive breast cancer in her lifetime. Awareness doesn't seem to be changing the numbers.
Some of the money raised goes into promoting mammograms in an effort to find cancer early enough before it has spread. Unfortunately, 90-96% of women who now have metastatic breast cancer were indeed diagnosed at an early stage, so that doesn't seem to be working either (as important as mammograms are). I can't help but wonder where we'd be today if all the money that has gone into awareness and marketing went into figuring out what causes breast cancer in the first place and how we can prevent it.

Celebrated Australian Artist Janine Daddo and has enjoyed sell-out exhibitions across Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore and Chicago.
Daddo's enthusiasm for life and sense of fun, allows her to gain great joy from the everyday moments that most of us take for granted. These moments are the inspiration for her paintings, that depict love, life and the joys of everyday. Their figurative forms and playful ideas recreate the innocence and magic of youth. Her confident use of colours, bold textures and line, help to convey this enthusiasm, whether it be the the little things in life that we felt as children, or the passion that new love brings.
Janine Daddo is a lucky person. She always wanted to be a painter. And in fulfilling her dreams, she has become a highly successful one - by sharing her happiness with others. Yet, luck is no matter of chance. You have to strive for serendipity. Her enthusiasm for life expressed in her joyous, colourful paintings emerges from one touched with tragedy. As always, the way we handle adversity defines our character, for those nightmares in life's journey are times of unbelievable blackness. Yet, they seem to be necessary experiences that precede the pathway to perceptions of light and joy in the perception and expression of unbounded beauty. Daddo communicates this exuberance through her art, and is one of the reasons why it is so popular. Another is her gifts is this means of communication, schooled at RMIT in graphic art and design, developed through fashion illustration, and finely honed in the world of advertising in Sydney and Melbourne. Her paintings are conversational and attractively packaged in seductive colours. Numerous sell-out exhibitions provide their own testimony.
Artists are very fortunate people in being able to see anew the everyday world with a freshness and enthusiasm, which they share through the works they create. As in Daddo's paintings, a kitchen scene becomes a chaos of delight, the diurnal becomes the extraordinary. Her imagery is familiar, friendly, and highly appealing, with an echo of Charles Blackman in whose house she once lived in Sydney. Influence came by osmosis, rather than directly, found in her love of colour, figuration, and certain lyrical touches, especially of flowers and lovers, as in A Little Romance. Her Secret Garden series probably owe part of their genesis to the same neighbour's garden which Blackman looked onto from his studio window. This secret place for Daddo is one of freedom, completely relaxed and open. In large Secret Garden 2007, the richness of the reds create the mood and capture the passion, in harmony with the embrace and intertwining of the figures, repeated in the sinuous lines of the flower forms of the background.
The richness of her colours comes from her technique of layered surfaces, usually working in opposites, from darks to lights, from turquoise and jade to reds. The layering gives added texture, glimpses of underlying colours added variety, topped by a final glaze to express the wonderment of life. Birds and bare-bosoms are metaphors of freedom, as likewise paintings of childhood memories, of innocence recollected and, To the Moon and Back, the possibility of dreams. As the spring of youth finds fullness in summer, Summer Garden parades the blossoming of womanhood, of letting go and becoming woman. A background in fashion provides touches of the fashionable, the beauty of the beautiful, and the eye of seeing. Daddo says, 'Painting for me is like creating a conversation, a memory, a yearning.'
Janine has enjoyed 'sell-outs' in Sydney, Melbourne and Chicago, and her work is now enjoyed in private collections throughout Australia and as far afield as London, New York and Singapore.
