Over the past few weeks, we've been reporting about the numerous controversies surrounding a mural of Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa at Susy's Meat Market in East Hollywood, where someone splattered red paint on Villaraigosa's face and later spray-painted "vendido" on his left collar, which was eventually covered over with white paint.
Now, David Torres, the artist better known as "Rabi," who created the mural, has contacted us via email with his own update about what's happening at the site.
Rabi tells us that when he and an artist friend named Retna were painting the mural, they increasingly heard passersby "voice their opinions" about Villaraigosa -- and they weren't all that flattering. After a while, Rabi says, he realized that "maybe it wasn't such a great idea to endorse this guy."
But Rabi was commissioned by the owner of Susy's Meat Market to paint the piece, so he maintained his professionalism, finished the mural, and was quite pleased with the result. About two months later, in September, someone splattered red paint on his creation.
"At first, I was pretty disappointed," Rabi writes to us in an email, referring to the red paint, "but then I started to like it even more, it's become more than another mural -- it's now a statement and an expression of the public, a movement if you will."
To take it one step further, Rabi went back to the mural yesterday and made an addition with his own red paint. "Like Sand In The Wind," the artist wrote, with a tag of "The Fear."
"What this (saying) refers to is the monks that finish their sand paintings and then blow them away," Rabi tells us. "Also the fact that this Mayor/man is but a speckle in our time soon to be forgotten and a new Mayor/man and mural will emerge, and so on."
You can see the various stages of Rabi painting the mural and his other work at his Web site: www.dtladesigns.com.
"The Fear," Rabi also explains, is an "(art) campaign that my friends and I are promoting and will soon be a large part of this city. 'The fear' does not mean to be afraid -- it is the total opposite, therefore completely materializing the word and leaving it powerless."

Villaraigosa often said he hoped to inspire Angelenos, but recent events at Susy's Meat Market suggest that his time as mayor has gotten people riled up for all of the wrong reasons . . . and now they're looking to take it to The Man, who, in this case, is Villaraigosa.
It's something that a young Tony Villar, sporting a "Born to Raise Hell" tattoo, could have never predicted for his own future. In fact, that hell-raising teenager from East L.A., if he was a teenager today, would probably be joining Rabi and his pals in their righteous fun.
Can anyone say "eye-opener"?

Beauty and The Beast ~ Epona and Rhiannon, Goddesses of Equines
In Gallo-Roman religion, Epona was a protector of horses, donkeys, and mules. She was particularly a goddess of fertility, as shown by her attributes of a patera, cornucopia, ears of grain and the presence of foals in some sculptures.[1] She and her horses might also have been leaders of the soul in the after-life ride, with parallels in Rhiannon of the Mabinogion.[2] Unusual for a Celtic deity, most of whom were associated with specific localities, the worship of Epona, "the sole Celtic divinity ultimately worshipped in Rome itself,"[3] was widespread in the Roman Empire between the first and third centuries AD.
Although known only from Roman contexts, the name Epona, 'Great Mare' is from the Gaulish language; it is derived from the inferred proto-Celtic *ekwos 'horse'[4] — which gives rise to modern Welsh ebol 'foal' — together with the augmentative suffix -on frequently, though not exclusively, found in theonyms (for example Sirona, Matrona) and the usual Gaulish feminine singular -a.[5] In an episode preserved in a remark of Pausanias,[6] an archaic Demeter Erinys (Vengeful Demeter) too had also been a Great Mare, who was mounted by Poseidon in the form of a stallion and foaled Arion and the Daughter who was unnamed outside the Arcadian mysteries.[7] Demeter was venerated as a mare in Lycosoura in Arcadia into historical times.
Fernand Benoit[8] found the earliest attestations of a cult of Epona in the Danubian provinces and asserted that she had been introduced in the limes of Gaul by horsemen from the east. This suggestion has not been generally taken up.
Although the name is Gaulish, dedicatory inscriptions to Epona are in Latin or, rarely, Greek. They were made not only by Celts, but also by Germans, Romans, and other inhabitants of the Roman Empire. An inscription to Epona from Mainz, Germany, identifies the dedicator as Syrian.[9] A long Latin inscription of the first century BC, engraved in a lead sheet and accompanying the sacrifice of a filly and the votive gift of a cauldron, was found in 1887 at Rom, Deux-Sèvres, the Roman Rauranum. The inscription offers to the goddess an archaic profusion of epithets for a goddess, Eponina 'dear little Epona': she is Atanta, horse-goddess Potia 'powerful Mistress' (compare Greek Potnia), Dibonia (Latin, the 'good goddess')", Catona 'of battle', noble and good Vovesia.[10]
Her feast day in the Roman calendar was December 18 as shown by a rustic calendar from Guidizzolo, Italy,[11] although this may have been only a local celebration. She was incorporated into the Imperial cult by being invoked on behalf of the Emperor, as Epona Augusta or Epona Regina.
The supposed autonomy of Celtic civilization in Gaul suffered a further setback with Fernand Benoit's study[12] of the funereal symbolism of the horseman with the serpent-tailed ("anguiforme") daemon, which he established as a theme of victory over death, and Epona; both he found to be late manifestations of Mediterranean-influenced symbolism, which had reached Gaul through contacts with Etruria and Magna Graecia. Benoit compared the rider with most of the riders imaged around the Mediterranean shores.
Perceptions of native Celtic goddesses had changed under Roman hegemony: only the names remained the same. As Gaul was Romanized under the early Empire, Epona's sovereign role evolved into a protector of cavalry.[13] The cult of Epona was spread over much of the Roman Empire by the auxiliary cavalry, alae, especially the Imperial Horse Guard or equites singulares augustii recruited from Gaul, Lower Germany, and Pannonia. A series of their dedications to Epona and other Celtic, Roman and German deities was found in Rome, at the Lateran.[14] As Epane she is attested in Cantabria, northern Spain, on Mount Bernorio, Palencia,[15] as Iccona Loiminna[dubious – discuss] in Portugal on the Lusitanian inscription of Cabeço das Fráguas.
An euhemeristic account of Epona's origin occurs in the Parallela Minora, which traditionally attributed to Plutarch (but now as "Pseudo-Plutarch"):
Fulvius Stellus hated women and used to consort with a mare and in due time the mare gave birth to a beautiful girl and they named her Epona. She is the goddess that is concerned with the protection of horses. So Agesilaüs in the third book of his Italian History.[16]
The tale was passed along in the context of unseemly man-beast coupling in Giambattista Della Porta's edition of Magia naturalis (1589), a potpourri of the sensible and questionable, erroneously citing Plutarch's Life of Solon.[17] It may represent some recollection of Indo-European horse sacrifice, such as the Vedic ashvamedha and the Irish ritual described by Giraldus Cambrensis, both of which have to do with kingship. In the Celtic ritual, the king mates with a white mare thought to embody the goddess of sovereignty.[18]
Sculptures of Epona fall into five types, as distinguished by Benoit: riding, standing or seated before a horse, standing or seated between two horses, a tamer of horses in the manner of potnia theron and the symbolic mare and foal. In the Equestrian type, common in Gaul, she is depicted sitting side-saddle on a horse or (rarely) lying on one; in the Imperial type (more common outside Gaul) she sits on a throne flanked by two or more horses or foals.[19] In distant Dacia, she is represented on a stela (now at the Szépmüvézeti Museum, Budapest) in the format of Cybele, seated frontally on a throne with her hands on the necks of her paired animals: her horses are substitutions for Cybele's lions.
In Latin literature
Epona is mentioned in The Golden Ass by Apuleius, where an aedicular niche with her image on a pillar in a stable has been garlanded with freshly picked roses.[20] In his Satires, the Roman poet Juvenal also links the worship and iconography of Epona to the area of a stable.[21] Small images of Epona have been found in Roman sites of stables and barns over a wide territory.
In Great Britain
The probable date of ca. 1400 BC ascribed to the giant chalk horse carved into the hillside turf at Uffington, in southern England, is too early to be directly associated with Epona a millennium and more later, but clearly represents a Bronze Age totem of some kind. The English traditional hobby-horse riders parading on May Day at Padstow, Cornwall and Minehead, Somerset, which survived to the mid-twentieth century, even though Morris dances had been forgotten, may have deep roots in the veneration of Epona, as may the English aversion to eating horsemeat.[22] At Padstow formerly, at the end of the festivities the hobby-horse was ritually submerged in the sea.[23]
A provincial though not crude small (7.5 cm high) Roman bronze of a seated Epona, flanked by a small mare and stallion, found in England,[24] is conserved in the British Museum.[25] Lying on her lap and on the patera raised in her right hand are disproportionately large ears of grain; ears of grain also protrude from the mouths of the ponies, whose heads are turned towards the goddess. On her left arm she holds a yoke, which curves up above her shoulder, an attribute unique to this bronze statuette.[26]
The Welsh goddess Rhiannon rides a white horse and has many attributes of Epona. A south Welsh folk ritual call Mari Lwyd (Grey Mare) is still undertaken in December — an apparent survival of the veneration of the goddess. The pantomime horse is thought to be a related survival.
On Mackinac Island, Michigan, Epona is celebrated each June with stable tours, a blessing of the animals and the Epona and Barkus Parade. Mackinac Island does not permit personal automobiles: the primary source of transportation remains the horse, so celebrating Epona has special significance on this island in the upper midwest.[27]
Rhiannon is a prominent figure in Welsh mythology, mother to the Demetian hero Pryderi and wife to Pwyll (and later Manawydan fab Llyr). She is probably a reflex of the Celtic Great Queen goddess Rigantona and may also be associated with the horse goddess Epona.[1]
She appears in both the first and third branches of the Mabinogi and is further mentioned in the early Arthurian prose tale Culhwch and Olwen
Role in Welsh mythology
The First Branch
Upon ascending the magical mound of Gorsedd Arberth, the Demetian king Pwyll witnesses the arrival of Rhiannon, appearing to them as a beautiful woman dressed in gold silk brocade and riding a shining white horse. Pwyll sends his best horsemen after her, but she always remains ahead of them, though her horse never does more than amble. After three days, he finally calls out to her, and Rhiannon tells him she has come seeking him because she would rather marry him than her fiancé, Gwawl ap Clud. A year after their meeting, Pwyll accidentally and foolishly promises Rhiannon to Gwawl, before managing to win her back through outwitting, bloodying and dishonouring his rival.
Under the advice of his noblemen, Pwyll and Rhiannon attempt to supply an heir to the kingdom and eventually a boy is born. However, on the night of his birth, he disappears while in the care of six of Rhiannon's ladies-in-waiting. To avoid the king's wrath, the ladies smear dog's blood onto a sleeping Rhiannon, claiming that she had committed infanticide and cannibalism through eating and "destroying" her child. Rhiannon is forced to do penance for her crime.
The child is discovered outside a stable by an ex-vassal of Pwyll's, Teyrnon, the lord of Gwent Is Coed. He and his wife claim the boy as their own and name him Gwri Wallt Euryn (English: Gwri of the Golden hair), for "all the hair on his head was as yellow as gold".[2] The child grows to adulthood at a superhuman pace and, as he matures, his likeness to Pwyll grows more obvious and, eventually, Teyrnon realises Gwri's true identity. The boy is eventually reunited with Pwyll and Rhiannon and is renamed Pryderi, meaning "loss". Some time later, Pwyll dies peacefully and Pryderi ascends to the throne, marrying Cigfa and amalgamating the seven cantrefs of Morgannwg to his kingdom.
Third Branch
Pryderi and Rhiannon's imprisonment. From Tales of the Enchanted Islands of the Atlantic, Thomas Wentworth Higginson. Image by Albert Herter.
Having honoured the last requests of his brother Bendigeidfran, by burying his head facing France so as to ward off invasion, the usurped British king Manawydan accompanies Pryderi to Dyfed where the latter is reunited with his wife Cigfa. During his stay, Manawydan meets and marries Rhiannon, while Pryderi heads off to Kent to pay homage to the usurper Caswallon. Soon after, a magical mist descends on the land leaving it empty of all domesticated animals and humans apart from the four protagonists.
Pryderi and Manawydan travel to England to make a living from various trades, but are forced to leave one town after another to avoid conflict with other tradesmen who resented their superior skills. Returning to Dyfed, Manaywdan and Pryderi go hunting and, coming across a white boar, follow it to a huge, towering fort. Against Manawydan's advice, Pryderi enters the fort and is drawn towards a beautiful golden bowl. Upon touching the bowl, his feet stick to the floor, his hands stick to the bowl and he loses the power of speech. Manawydan waits in vain for his return before giving news of his disappearance to Rhiannon. Chiding her husband for his poor companionship, Rhiannon too enters the fort and suffers the same fate as her son. In a "blanket of mist", Pryderi, Rhiannon and the fort itself, vanish. Cigfa weeps at the loss of her husband, but is comforted by Manawydan, and the two head off to England before being driven out, once again, due to their superior craftmanship.
Upon returning to the wasteland, they sow three fields of wheat but the first field is destroyed before it can be harvested. The next night the second field is destroyed. Manawydan keeps watch over the third field and when he sees it destroyed by mice he catches one and decides to hang it the next day. A scholar, a priest and a bishop in turn offer him gifts if he will spare the mouse but he refuses. When asked what he wants in return for the mouse's life he demands the release of Pryderi and Rhiannon and the lifting of the enchantment over Dyfed. The bishop agrees because the mouse is in fact his wife. It is revealed that the catalyst of their suffering was the enchanter Llwyd ap Cil Coed, who sought revenge for the humiliation of his friend Gwawl ap Clud at the hands of Pwyll and Rhiannon. The enchantment over Dyfed is lifted.
Interpretation as a goddess
The Mabinogi do not present Rhiannon as anything other than human. Scholars of mythology have nevertheless speculated that Rhiannon may euhemerize an earlier goddess of Celtic polytheism. Similar euhemerisms of pre-Christian deities can be found in other medieval Celtic literature, when Christian scribes and redactors may have felt uncomfortable writing about the powers of pagan gods. In the Táin Bó Cúailnge, for example, Macha and Morrígan appear as larger-than-life figures, but are never described as goddesses, very similar to the presentation of Rhiannon in the Mabinogion.
Proinsias Mac Cana states: "[Rhiannon] reincarnates the goddess of sovereignty who, in taking to her a spouse, thereby ordained him legitimate king of the territory which she personified".[3] According to Miranda Jane Green, "Rhiannon conforms to two archetypes of myth … a gracious, bountiful queen-goddess; and as the 'wronged wife', falsely accused of killing her son".[4]
Some scholars specifically identify her as a horse goddess cognate to Gaulish Epona, because of Rhiannon's close association with horses in the first part of the story.[5]

Thank you.
dear website holder,
you have a pretty good article about epona. while i am fairly abashed to be an artist who has un wittingly contributed to the beauty of your site, i would like to bring to your attention that you did not credit any of the painters whose works you got online.
the one you used of my picture is a poor photograph, and i will send you a better one.
it is not the one that i would want to represent me online.
where i saw it:
where to find me:
do not be afraid to contact me, i just want to improve my presence on you site.
each artist should be credited, and then a link to their website, in case a person wishes to see more.
these days with our cyber-stupid world, we do forget that it is polite to ask. the new way is to share and encourage. also polite to say thank you.
anyone who puts stuff online should be expecting to share it. too bad you found such a poor copy of my painting….
it feels odd to see my work placed among the conglomeration of sexy fantasy 2015 pin-up goth chicks. there is no place in the universe for a horse with giant fangs!!
my picture is the one with the wolves and owls, glad to be separated from the others by Daenerys Targaryen, whom i love!
epona's friend,
gene avery north

Selling Real Estate Made Easy
April 15, 2014
Do you think you're uncertain about how to go about promoting your home? The various means of promoting real estate are several and intricate. Below are some of the common ideas that each and every seller ought to bear in mind.
The initial point a potential buyer will think about is the cost that you are asking for the house. Naturally, sellers would like to get the highest cost they're able to for their residence. The challenge is, if your cost is too high, your prospective purchasers will probably be scared away. It's important to sit back and really evaluate the value from the home when compared with other home sales inside the location.
To sell Collingwood Ontario real estate, you must display it off, either at Open Homes or by means of individual tours. Potential buyers need to go inside and find out how the home is before they spend a huge slice of their savings. No matter how excellent your advertising or the images you show on the website, there is simply no replacement for permitting the buyer see the residence for themselves. Home showings are imperative to make certain the buyer is intrigued.
Plenty of house owners will leave their individual items within the house, but this is chancy since it leaves little to the visualization. Make the house seem as open as possible to changes and restorations making sure that the purchaser can bring their own creativity to bear as they visit the residence.
The key to promoting a home is to foresee the desires and needs of the buyer and then appeal to them as much as you can. The better the house appears, the better the price you'll receive. It really is easy to get drawn into overpricing, but definitely aim to be realistic.

And now that I'm done with the rambling here are some of the pictures of my first few weeks in DC- enjoy!
capitol city
I apologize for dropping the ball on blogging yet again, but these last few weeks in DC have been nothing shy of busy. I have been completely swamped working for my internship and working for school. It's tough being a adult. Luckily, I have somehow managed to get my butt out of bed on the weekends to explore the city, despite being exhausted beyond max. So far I've been able to see the Library of Congress, the Supreme Court, the Capitol, the Monuments, Eastern Market, the Navy Yard and Georgetown. And to take a break from sightseeing and being in the blazing heat (thanks humidity!), I've also been able to visit some of the local breweries, such as Capitol City, DC Brau and Atlas.
It's been so great to be back in the city I once got to call home, I forgot how much there is to see here! Thanks to all the sights, every time I wake up after a day of sightseeing my body feels like it has just run a marathon and competed in a weight lifting competition!
And now that I'm done with the rambling here are some of the pictures of my first few weeks in DC- enjoy!

This missed opportunity to crush Corbyn has condemned Labour to oblivion
No one can say that the catastrophe that has just engulfed the Labour Party with the re-election of Jeremy Corbyn on a thumping 61.8 per cent of the vote – including 59 per cent of full party members – was not entirely self-inflicted.
They have had their very own "second referendum" and have deliberately chosen to go down the path of electoral oblivion, despite all the polling data, the historical parallels and the warnings from the only people in recent Labour history who have actually won elections. The morning after the Conservatives are re-elected in 2025 – probably with a 60-year-old Boris Johnson as prime minister – Labour Party members will not be able to blame it on anyone else.
"We've got to demand systemic change," the shadow chancellor John McDonnell was caught stating on a video recorded in 2013 which came to light 10 days ago. "Look, I'm straight, I'm honest with people: I'm a Marxist. This is a classic crisis of the economy – a classic capitalist crisis. I've been waiting for this for a generation! For Christ's sake don't waste it, you know."
Quite apart from the repulsive cynicism of the remark, the frank assertion that he was a Marxist (a pedant would argue Marxist-Leninist) ought to have sunk the campaign. It should have been the equivalent of Theresa May being caught on camera saying she wouldn't accept Syrian refugees into Britain because "Look, I'm straight, I'm honest with people: I'm a racist." Yet it barely caused a ripple in the narcissistic, conspiracy theory-addicted closed echo-chamber that is Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party.
There should have been parallels with the career of George Lansbury, leader of the Labour Party from October 1932 to October 1935, who was beloved of the rank and file, reformed the party's organisation – just wait for the Corbynista purge later this year – and believed in systemic change through a mixture of revolutionary and evolutionary methods, as he set out in his book My England (1934).
Like Corbyn he was a pacifist, who, in October 1933, even after Hitler had come to power, told his party conference: "I would close every recruiting station, disband the Army and disband the Air Force." He was finally forced out by the Labour moderates, as the Tories sailed to a massive landslide election victory. As he lay dying in May 1940, just as Hitler unleashed his Blitzkrieg on the West, he asked for his ashes to be buried at sea as "I am a convinced internationalist".
The moderates in the Labour Party of Bevin and Attlee were capable of ruthlessness against pacifists such as Lansbury as well as the Communists who constantly tried to infiltrate the party, but today's moderates have lost that knack, as yesterday's result shows. Labour's general secretary Iain McNicol was accused by Corbynistas of trying to carry out a "rigged purge" – are there any other kind? – by excluding party members who joined after January 2016, but it clearly made little difference. Watch now for hard Leftists such as Jennie Formby of Unite now being set up against McNicol, or, just as likely, McNicol adopting a Corbynist tune to save his job.
Across the party there are moderates worrying about their futures, especially as the boundary changes will undoubtedly be used by Momentum to effect widespread deselection of moderate MPs. All political parties have collective, almost folk, memories, and the strongest one in Labour is of the SDP split of 1981-82, in which some of the brightest and best Labour ministers left the party over its policy of unilateral nuclear disarmament (expect that to come up again at the Labour party conference in Liverpool, by the way) as well as the leadership of Corbyn's predecessor Michael Foot.
Yet it is vital not to mix up cause and effect, as the Corbynistas like to do in their myth-making over the SDP split. It was the prior unelectability of Foot's Labour Party that was the ultimate spur to the actions of Roy Jenkins, David Owen, Shirley Williams and the other moderates in leaving Labour. It was not the split that made Labour unelectable, putting Margaret Thatcher in power for years; Labour had accomplished that by itself already, just as it has done all over again yesterday.
Those memories – or in this case, this false-memory syndrome – torments the Labour moderates today. They fear that splitting Labour will merely hand over power to May-Johnson for the foreseeable future, so instead of leaving en masse they will be salami-sliced away by the superior political ruthlessness of Corbyn, McDonnell, and Labour's terrifying communications director Seamus Milne (who is a dead ringer for the heartless Bolshevik commissar Strelnikov played by Tom Courtenay in Doctor Zhivago). If you want to see what will happen to the plotters after this failed coup attempt, think President Erdogan in Turkey.
There is even some evidence that key moderates don't understand how dire the situation truly is. Writing in the Guardian yesterday, McNicol emphasised how Labour in 2015 had seen a "triumph in London, in Bristol, and we still have a Labour first minister in Wales. We have a huge influx of new members, we are half a million-strong and the biggest party in Europe. Theresa May has never won an election as prime minister. Our job is to make sure she never does."
Choosing this week of all weeks to challenge Mrs May to try to obtain a personal mandate as prime minister in a general election shows how divorced from reality some Labour moderates are. If Mrs May asked the British people today who they would trust to deliver a competent Brexit – her or Jeremy Corbyn – it would lead to Labour's electoral annihilation.
Labour's hatred of Blairites – who after all did deliver the party three successive election victories for the only time in its history – was on full view in the campaign, with McDonnell describing Alastair Campbell's views as "nauseating" on Question Time. Whereas Tories tend to venerate the leaders who win them elections, Labour puts ideological purity before electoral success. The more Left-wing the Labour leader – as demonstrated by Lansbury, Foot, and Corbyn in due course – the worse they do; by total contrast the more Right-wing the Tory leader – Lord Salisbury and Margaret Thatcher being the best examples – the more likely the Tory landslide.
The reason that the Tory party has not split since 1845 is not simply because they are more focused on being in power than on winning ideological battles, it is because they have tended to choose the right leaders at the right time and have also viciously disposed of the wrong ones. There has always been a potential assassin in the wings, hiding his knife in his (or her) toga and ready to look credible in power.
Today, none of the Labour moderates fulfils that role. David Miliband is abroad; Dan Jarvis and Sir Keir Starmer are unknown and untried; Tristram Hunt is too good-natured; Chuka Umunna flinched from the struggle; Tom Watson is in denial; Yvette Cooper is uncharismatic; Ed Balls is out of parliament and busy dancing.
It is impossible to imagine any of them saying, as Winston Churchill told a dinner in New York in 1949: "I tell you, it's no use arguing with a Communist. It's no good trying to convert a Communist, or persuade him. You can only do it by having superior force on your side [and using it] in the most ruthless manner."
Until a credible Labour moderate can say that about Jeremy Corbyn – who was lauding Karl Marx on The Andrew Marr Show as recently as July 2015 – the party deserves all it's about to get.

2D Illustration
Since the beginning of Human existence and civilization, few creative minds in every era have taken the responsibility to communicate their thoughts, beliefs, values and feelings by the help of different modes of art. 2D Illustrations, as we identify these today, have been one of the greatest forms of art and helped the great creative minds to bring the beauty of their heart and soul out and present it to masses.
Old civilizations still communicates with us and inform us about their respective ways of living. We believe, in the present era, the significance of illustration art is still there. Companies use illustrations to convey message to all stake holders and if these messages translated into mere words, they may take tons of paper and still the message may remain complex and vague.
Xaavia Studios has secured expertise is still learning new ways of symbolism and illustrations in order to serve and provide best communication solution while using the art 2D Illustration.

But as a baseline, Ian Kerner, Ph D, LMFT, licensed psychotherapist, couple's therapist and author of "I've worked with a lot of couples who have strong relationships, and they met and fell in love quickly and really got to know each other's friends and family," Kerner says.
"They got to experience what it's like to live with each other or spend a lot of time with each other, go through some life cycle issues, like the loss of a family member or the loss of a friendship, or going to a wedding or funeral and really getting to see each other in a lot of different contexts and feel like it's a good match. You want to have some problems emerge and see how you deal with problems together.
He took just a few days to make up his mind, and neither of us regret his decision. The answers to these questions are far more important than what a clock has or hasn't ticked toward.
Still, my male friend's response prompted me to bring up the idea that we'd moved too fast with another friend on the trip. In fact, here's an example to illustrate my point: I know a couple who got engaged just four months after meeting (which, to me, seemed oh so fast).
Rather, I think we all have to decide, based on complete honesty with ourselves and our S. We have to ask ourselves the tough questions before we take big (and some little) steps forward: How well do I know my S. It's both freeing and fortifying to forget "when" you "should" take a step in your relationship, because if you're doing what's right for you both—and being honest with yourself along the way—you've got nothing, not even time, to fear.

An approximate solution technique for tilting pad journal bearings is presented. The method makes use of approximations to the axial pressure profile and the temperature profiles and includes heat transfer between the film and its boundaries. A second order profile is assumed to represent the temperature distribution across the film. The classical Reynolds equation is applied, using the viscosity based on the cross-film average of temperature. The transfer of heat in the pads is modeled as purely radial conduction, and the journal surface temperature is given by a circumferential average of the film temperatures. Results of calculations are presented for a sample case representative of an industrial compressor or turbine bearing and are compared to isothermal results. The dynamic characteristics in this case are found to vary by 10 to 35 percent for a change in lubricant inlet temperature of 28°C. Temperature distributions in the lubricant and on the surfaces of the pads are given.

Words by Daniel Jones
Post-genre. Post-gender. Post-human. This is the world of Born In Flamez, a project from Berlin with a multi-disciplinary approach that combines as much political philosophy as aurals and visuals. The identity of Born In Flamez is irrelevant—it's the message that matters, the ideology of escaping static social patterns. It's creator is always masked—a physical escape from the boundaries of identity, transposed into music and vision.
As part of the UnReaL collective, they've worked with a variety of music-crafters across the spectrum, from Modeselektor to Perera Elsewhere. In a rare interview, UnReaL's Daniel Jones spoke to them to shed some light on the mind behind the mask.
D: Tell me about the concept and ethos behind Born In Flamez.
I started Born In Flamez to express something you could call intermusicality—like Kristeva´s "Intertextuality," just in relation to music. I feel like music is a kind of bricolage of our knowledge, influences, cultural surroundings, and aspirations, and ultimately it is a fusion with the tools we use to make it. That's why I call it post-human. Electronic music springs from the fusion of the machine and the person; a lot of it is based on contingency, algorithms, glitches and so forth, so sometimes the computer even plays the human. As a product of flesh and binary code it has no gender. Ultimately, Born In Flamez is a post-gender/post-human project and aims to address these very political issues through art.
D: In what key ways is technology changing how we interact with art and music—and how we view humanity?
The discussion of art vs technology is ancient; I could go back to the Greek meaning of technae here but I´m not going to nerd out. I think technology makes music accessible in a different way. If you look at art the ways to interact with a painting and the ways to interact with an interactive light sculpture or holographic performance are clearly very different. In a mind/body divide way even. But we have always used tools to shape our reality, whether that is a computer or a mirror. I wouldn't say the idea of humanity is shifting, however; there´s always been and probably always will be a great technophobia within the human sphere.
Politics and music have always had very strong ties as well. What are some key issues you wish to shed light on through Born In Flamez?
Obviously gender is one of my biggest topics. It's crazy how misogynist this world still is and how much we in our little artistic bubbles have our head in the clouds about it. It should never have been an issue. Do you know that the gender divide came about in the 1800s? Before this we were all considered one gender. It would be great to go back to that point of thinking or just accept that gender does not exist and is a concept that is fixated on us. Instead we are fluent beings with a multitude of needs and what you identify as should be enough to code you. I call Born In Flamez a project that is post-identity with which I refer to other boxes like nationality for example. How can some lines drawn up by some men on the grounds of whatever shape anybody's identity? I think the concept of nationality by itself is one of the biggest problems of today's society—the weird notion that something "belongs to you" and not somebody else because you were born into it by chance. Borders are all fake and they keep on shifting, and it is horrible to see what problems they cause currently; all those new fascist tendencies rising to power. I wonder what kind of world Second Life would have created if it had been around for longer.
D: That's a good point; Second Life had so many potentials. Technology is certainly a strong tool for changing ideas of borders and gender; through machines we become raw data, our desires transposed through circuitry and will. Do you think that it will eventually be a catalyst for doing away with the world's current outmoded way of thinking?
I feel like there is a big potential. Ideas are being exchanged faster, and there is a bigger flow of information. We transcend into so many different identities online. We can choose our avatars, shift shapes, and render reality. If we could learn from the way we interact with the internet it would be the easiest thing to understand how flexible identity is.
D: I feel that the problem with the internet is people's need to transpose the rules of the physical world on to it; the same petty arguments and old social ideologies. We've created a whole new reality and we just want it to be the old reality with more free things and porn.
J: Very true. But that's because we are still narrated by our upbringing; dictated by the boxes. It's hard to deal with a morphing shape-shifter when all you can do is push squares. I guess the beauty of it is that you can now dictate your own narrative. I´m pretty sure we will be getting to that point—if the other world doesn't press the power button before.

I enjoy writing workshops. They allow strangers to read and comment on each other's work.It is a great opportunity to have new eyes on your work, your writing, and sometimes the advice and feedback is invaluable. Most of the time, writers are grateful for the feedback; sometimes they aren't.
In the workshop I'm in right now our focus is YA. This girl in this workshop submitted a random chapter from her novel; not a bad thing. But, the way she writes is clogged with description. It lacks clarity and cohesion. She's not a "bad writer," but she's too in love with her setting. She has made the mistake that many new writers make: she bit off more than she can chew. She's written a story with dual narrators and to change this aspect would be to alter a vital element to her story.
I didn't know she had two narrators…

There are many aspects of being a homeowner that people tend to overlook, including their rain gutters. However, it's very important to pay attention to your rain gutters because they lead water away from your home when it rains, which prevents water damage to your roof and home. If you ignore your rain gutters, the water damage that is caused can be extremely expensive to repair. So it's important to know these four signs that you need to repair those rain gutters:
1. Cracks: You may notice cracks on your rain gutters. If not, then you can tell there are cracks if any areas that leak. It's important to regularly check for cracks by inspecting the gutters yourself and then using your hose to run water through the gutters. This way you know where all the cracks are to determine where the repairs need to be made. If the cracks are small, then you may be able to seal them or you will need to replace the gutters entirely if the cracks are large. This is because, at this point, the cracks won't easily be sealed and won't stay sealed for long.
2. Sagging: If there are any areas of the gutters that sag further than others, you need to replace that section. This is because the water will build here and eventually the gutters will collapse here altogether. All the standing water that was there will cause even more excessive water damage.
3. Overflowing: If you notice that any areas overflow when it rains, then you probably need to clean out the gutters as soon as you can. This usually means that there is a heavy build up of debris that is blocking the water from flowing smoothly through the entire rain gutter system.
4. Rust or Peeling Paint: Depending on the material that your rain gutters are made of, you will either need to inspect for peeling paint or rust. If you notice these things, it typically means that there is too much water build up in certain areas. You need to look for standing water and determine what needs to be done with it. You either need to clean the gutters or replace that section.
When you are aware of what signs indicate that you need rain gutter repairs, you can determine when you need to hire professionals and you can easily avoid excessive water damage to your home and potentially save you thousands.
I don't know about you, but I work hard, and at the end of the day, I really want to come home to a relaxing hot shower. That's hard to do, though, when your shower enclosure is too small, or when your water pressure is terrible. I decided that what I needed to do was give my shower space an upgrade. I had a larger shower enclosure installed, along with some massage jets and a shower seat. I started this blog about shower options to help you learn how to upgrade and improve your own shower experience. It's more affordable than you think, and you can even do some of the work yourself. Check out the tips and advice on this blog to get the shower that you deserve.

Whoa, this blog is getting dustier and dustier everyday. Life has been hectic these past few days, not to my liking. I have many pending posts but since I'm half-assed like this I'm not even gonna bother about them.
And this post is pretty much pointless but I'm posting it anyway because I can. *smug face*
Look what Lisa gave me the other day! A 1Malaysia clay brooch!! I'm sooooo happy and ecstatic because I think this logo is like the greatest, the prettiest, if not the most awesome logo ever created by a human being!!!! Just look at this beauty. Jalur Gemilang inside the number '1'. Pure genius. Who would've thought about that? And the greatest selection of typeface, too. Genius, genius.
I always see this magnificent of a logo practically being used everywhere. On billboards, TV, and heck even on book covers. And I always thought that: 'man, I want this logo to always be with me, too'. So thank you Lisa for giving me the opportunity to own such gem. Now I can wear it with whatever outfit everyday. And I'll rock it. It's like the must-have accessory. I'll urge everyone to buy it too so that we can all rock it together, don't you agree, Lisa? Awesome.
I've added a new card to my card membership collection! Awesome card that'll give me awesome deals! *satisfied grin*
I think I'm slowly turning into an auntie, FML.
Fat fingers.
Nothing really, I just want to remind myself to use a knife whenever I want to open a cup of lychee-flavoured nata de coco or else I will injure myself and suffer for not being able to do anything that involves moving my thumb without me screaming like a hyena.
Beware fellow Earthlings, for Kiwa has bid farewell to her probation license and shall now drive like a mad monkey on the road. And yes, with the 'P' stickers still intact on her car windows because she thinks that they will save her from troubles with boroi-uncles-with-mustaches. Prove her wrong.
And I'm saving the best for last:
I haz my own blaugrana nao!!
It's fake, of course. I'm still waiting for someone to sponsor me a real one. Or I'll buy it when I'm at Barcelona *dreaming* But for now, this will do just as good.
P/s: No, I have nothing against the 1Malaysia logo. It just doesn't float my boat. And no, I can't design it to be even more awesome so let's just leave it just the way it is.

I haven't done one of these posts in ages!! Actually it's 4 months.. oops? If you want to see my first post in this series you can see it here. If you don't know what this post is, it's basically to show you guys some of my favourite bloggers and hopefully introduce you to some new ones too!
First up, Chloe from CHLOE WITTY. I would firstly like to say how much I laaaarve Chloe's layout. It's such a simple design but so smart.. I don't know, I'm just one of those people that want's things to look nice – some would say a perfectionist! I think a good blog layout will mean I'm far more likely to stay and look at the blog content. But then comes her posts and they just make everything even better. She mainly does OOTD posts with the occasional beauty/reviews. I love her style and tend to follow people who I can look at and imagine wearing the similar style, and I definitely can with Chloe. She has a great writing style and just overall great blog, oh and I've also recently subscribed to her new youtube which you can find the link to on her blog!
Next up, Lydia from LYDIA FAYE JONES. This girl is so gorgeous it makes me want to walk around with a paper bag over my head for the rest of my life. The other thing that comes to mind when I think of Lydia's blog is bright colours – in nearly every outfit she'll have a bright/neon peice and she always looks good in it. So not fair. Lydia's blog mainly consists of OOTD's with occasional wishlists and hauls etc. Lydia writes a bit about her outfits and the cothing she features which is also nice too.
Finally, Tilly-Jayne from TILLY-JAYNE. I really love Tilly-Jayne's style, it's quite girly and I can almost always see myself wearing the exact same. She knows exactly what goes well with what, and even if she didn't, I'm pretty sure she'd make it work whatever. I love the way she writes, she seems to write about the clothing aswell as giving a quick review on them sometimes too which is always helpful! I love her hair – it's so pretty and her blog is one you all need to check out!
I can't wait to get posting this week, I have 3 OOTD's, a haul and a Daily Make-up post so exciting stuff! Hope you've all had a great week,

Somebody please tell me what
the hell this sign means.
Well, I've figured out what the sign means. After seeing it all over Europe, I realized that
it means the end of a pedestrian-only zone (not "No Women and Children"... heheh). A slash through a road sign means the end of
that road sign. As you leave a town, for example, you would see a sign with the name of the
town with a slash through it. And the above sign, without the slash, means the start of
pedestrian-only zone.

Vocational Education in the Comprehensive High School: An Agenda for Improvement.
Lydecker, Toni, Ed.
A national conference was held to examine ways for improving vocational education in comprehensive high schools. One of the major ideas to emerge from the conference was that, like other high schools, comprehensive high schools offering a vocational component will have to make a commitment to excellence if they are to continue to serve a useful function. Particularly needed are the development of curricula with stiffer credit requirements and a more concentrated focus on the five new basics--reading, writing, mathematics, science, and computer technology. Such an improvement effort will demand a reassessment of the roles currently played in the comprehensive high school of the following factions and factors: administrative leadership, curriculum, teachers, the learning environment, integration of vocational and academic curricula, and research and evaluation. By taking the word "comprehensive" seriously, these schools can reach beyond their own limits to the total community to use community resources, build public support, collaborate with business and industry, and coordinate programs with other educational institutions to make the improvements necessary to achieve educational excellence. At the conference, 18 general educational goals were identified for achieving educational excellence in comprehensive high schools having a vocational component and various action plans were set forth for attaining these goals.

About Us
Established in 2014, Kiona farm is located in Benton City, Washington. The golden hills area, known Natively as Kiona, is a renowned terroir for vineyards and craft horticuture. Our all-natural, sun grown techniques combine traditional and modern methods to produce connoisseur-grade Cannabis with minimal environmental impact. Respect for biological diversity and genetic integrity is at the heart of our work. Commercial production of Cannabis has reduced its range of desirable traits and effects. We're dedicated to preserving the distinctive highs and unique character of great tropical and heirloom lineages. Our curated selection of rare strains includes nearly psychedelic African hazes, spiritual Central American landraces and cherished California "hippie" weeds. ~ From our master grower's notebook ~ Legal psychoactive Cannabis allows for more than just recreational and medicinal use. Cannabis has an equally long, if not longer, history of use for divination, meditation, and magico-religious purposes, as an entheogen, as it does a narcotic. Even in western societies, as recent as the 1960s and 70s, Cannabis was part of the jazz, beat and psychedelic movements, used as a tool for introspection and expansion of consciousness. Over the last 30 years, we've seen a focus on Cannabis as more of a stupefacient and narcotic. This is not to say that devotees of traditional Cannabis haven't been grumbling the entire time. Connoisseurs have been lamenting the loss of intellectually, and spiritually stimulating pot, in exchange for what was at first the infiltration of domestically grown indica, and what later became a genetically bottlenecked, poly-hybridized gene pool, high in THC, and possessing an dizzying array of flavors, but homogeneous in its ability to produce a bland, sedative effect, of limited utility to the artists, gifted academics, and spiritual sages who once embraced the species for its ability to enhance their intellectual and spiritual lives.

I had originally decided to go with precast foundation walls from Superior Walls, after I had visited their sales office and seen them first hand. If it wasn't for our time delay I'd probably be still be using precast walls. After some thinking and seeing the poured walls, I'm kind of happy I went with them over the precast walls.
The precast walls have a 15 year warranty on leaks, etc… I plan on being in my house much longer than that. In fact, we're hoping this is our last house. If water starts coming in after 15 years, it will be problematic… Superior Walls recommended no drainage around the inside of the basement. Based on where my house sits, that's quite risky.
The warranty period of 15 years seems just long enough to cover the caulk that goes between the precast panels. I can't imagine the costs associated with digging out around the foundation after 15 years to recaulk a potential leak. That would be terrible, especially if you consider decks, landscaping, and your yard.
While the setup time is faster than poured walls, precast walls have to be ordered, and for us, would take 4 weeks to make. Keep in mind that we couldn't order until we had the money from the bank. That would have meant that our project would have been held up for another month after closing with the bank.
Our concrete guy was onsite and getting the footer poured the day after the hole was dug. There's no way we could have had the precast walls here by then.
When you consider the cost of 2X4s and insulation, the cost difference between precast and poured walls is a wash. You end up with a bit more piece of mind with poured walls, so to me, that makes the poured walls the winner. Ask me in another 6 months and I may have changed my mind again, but right now, I'm happy I went poured. :)
Currently rated 1.6 by 39 people
You may have noticed that I didn't post the past couple of days. It's certainly not because I didn't want to… Now that the foundation walls are up, we need to wait to pour the basement floor until the plumber gets in to rough in a basement restroom. We won't be finishing/enclosing/fixturing a bathroom down there this year, but we figured we may as well rough one in while the plumber is working.
The plumber, who we had hoped could come today, won't be here until the 30th now. After the rough in, the concrete crew will pour the basement floor, and probably the garage floor as well. Check back on Tuesday for an update.
Currently rated 1.5 by 11 people
I was amazed to find out that the molds for the foundation walls could be removed so soon after pouring them! In fact, I spoke with one of the concrete guys today and he said they could have taken them off as soon as 5 hours after pouring them. Today, just one day after pouring, the guys were able to walk on the walls and work with them as pleased.
When they removed the molds, my wife and I immediately noticed, what seems to be a mistake in the placement of one of the foundation windows on the back side of the house. We had them add 4 windows across the back, positioned directly below windows on the 1st floor. Unfortunately, it looks like the window hole they put in for the window to left of the fireplace chimney is much closer to the chimney than it's counterpart on the other side of the chimney.
There may be a reason for this placement that wasn't discussed with us, but from looking at the plans, the window isn't centered with the window on the 1st floor. It's not the end of the world, but I don't imagine redoing it is an option at this point. The video shows the chimney area I am referring to.
I decided to shoot a short video of the exposed foundation walls, which can be seen here:

The Eagle's Last Triumph
Available in Stock
On 16 June 1815, Napoleon defeated the Prussian army at the Battle of Ligny. However, the triumph was not decisive and the Prussian general, von Blücher, was able to regroup and tip the balance in Wellington's favour at Waterloo two days later. Including maps and diagrams, this detailed analysis of Napoleon's last victory assesses the background to the battle and the decisions of the commanders in the field, as well as including first-hand accounts of the bitter fighting.

Opened in 1993, ACTS, Amazon Conservatory of Tropical Studies, provides a research station for scientists in the rainforest and an opportunity for layman to share in their discovery. The large, thatched buildings are identical in construction to those found at Explorama Lodge. A donation to maintain and protect the surrounding Reserve and Canopy Walkway is included in the tariff for the ACTS Field Station. In addition to the Walkway, extensive trail hikes are available including the "Medicine Trail" used specifically to show the local rainforest plants used in modern medicine as well as examples of native plant remedies which science may use in the future.
The Canopy Walkway is an experience unequaled in the rainforest! At a height of over 35 meters (115 feet) and extending for 500 meters (one-third of a mile), the Canopy Walkway provides a view of the rainforest from the treetops, giving you a unique perception of the wildlife and vegetation seldom observed from the ground. The Canopy Walkway is accessible to all and requires no special skills or equipment. The suspended walkway is spread between 14 of the area's largest rainforest trees and is one of the longest canopy walkways in the world.
Maintained by the Peruvian Foundation CONAPAC, the Canopy Walkway has extended research into an area where little is known and so much is left to be discovered.
Excursions to the Canopy Walkway are included for guests staying at ExplorNapo Lodge, ExplorTambos, and the ACTS Field Station. A Full Day expedition is also available to the Canopy Walkway for guests staying at Ceiba Tops or Explorama Lodge for two or more nights.

F. Cao, F. Donnarumma, K. K. Murray, Appl. Surf. Sci. DOI:10.1016/j.apsusc.2018.03.239
The role of laser wavelength in atomic force microscopy (AFM) tip-enhanced laser ablation was studied using an apertureless tip and a nanosecond pulsed laser. An optical parametric oscillator (OPO) laser wavelength tunable from 410 to 2400 nm was used to irradiate a gold-coated silicon AFM probe held 15 nm above the surface of an anthracene film. The absorption of laser energy by the tip at 532 nm is sufficient to melt the gold coating and increase the diameter of the tip from about 100 nm to approximately 1 µm. The ablation crater volume was measured and found to have a maximum at 500 nm and an approximately linear drop to 800 nm. Craters could not be produced between 800 and 1200 nm and the crater was slightly smaller at 450 nm compared to 500 nm. A crater rim was observed with a volume comparable to that of the crater but lower density. The mechanism of ablation is postulated to be the result of energy absorption by the tip through plasmon resonance of the gold coating followed by melting of the anthracene by ballistic, contact, or radiative heating of the anthracene film.

Online dating apps have made it convenient to search the love interest. The users can use computer or mobile for the login purpose to use the gay dating apps. Logging into the mobile to match accounts to find the love interest was quite easy in the begging and it has now become simpler with the use of dating apps. The dating apps provide benefits as well as bring problems to the individuals as well. People find it convenient to balance the personal life and professional life and at the same time the dating apps are creating risks as well. Safety is the key for the people using or trying to use the dating apps. Here are the precautions to be taken while using the applications while searching for loved ones
Limit distance and age range:
It's better for the users to keep the distance range around ten miles on gay dating app. This will enable the users to pick up the meeting spot nearer to them to avoid the risks involved in meeting the date somewhere out of the comfort zone. It's also better to limit the age range to five years on either end of user's age to avoid any additional risks. The dating apps will enable the users to adjust the distance and age range search on their apps.
Look for red flags online:
It is important to check the social media profiles of the person whom you are willing to date to avoid any trouble. Even though the person passes the social media test the users can use number of public record resources available to do additional research.
Check for mutual friends in social media:
Checking out the social media account of the date may help the users to get a better knowledge about the date. In addition to that reaching out for a mutual friend will help to get better understanding of the date you want to go out with. By keeping the location setting local there will be chances of finding one or two mutual friends and it will be easy to get information from them regarding the person whom you are going to date.
Once you have decided to go out for a date after doing necessary research make sure you share your location with your friend or your family member before you go out for a date. It is a precautionary measure to be taken for the purpose of safety.

Draw The Music
by a recent article in San Francisco's East
Bay Express wherein Rob Harvilla asked fifth graders to illustrate
their impressions of Radiohead songs, we decided to conduct
an experiment of our own. We visited Kate Rice's fifth-grade
class at Goodwright Middle School and, instead of Radiohead, we
played them several selections from a mixed bag of artists and
asked them to illustrate their impressions.
decided to break the ice with 50Cent's "In Da Club".
Several of the boys began to bob with the music and chanted along
excitedly with the stanza "I'm into havin sex, I ain't
into makin' love…" We assumed the children wouldn't
know what the line meant but were informed by Miss Rice that,
as a few of the more animated boys had children of their own,
they most assuredly knew what the song was about.
Miss Rice's request, we switched to something a little less
topical, critically lauded rockers the Mars Volta. The band's
neo-psychedelic sounds were greeted with blank stares and a few
epithets from the back of the classroom. One child who didn't
lay her head down on her desk or stare blankly out the window
was Britney Pruitt. So as not to disturb her, we asked Miss Rice
to shed some light on why Britney was interpreting Mars Volta
by drawing a rabbit. "She just likes 'bunnies.'
It's practically all she ever talks about. Frankly, I'm
a little sick of hearing about it. And just between you and me,
I think she's a little s-l-o-w."
an attempt to rouse the class we switched to UK sensations The
Darkness. The sound of heavily distorted guitars was greeted by
most of the class with approval. This initial reaction changed
somewhat with the start of the first verse. The children exchanged
puzzled looks and some expressed confusion as to the singer's
gender. "This lady sounds funny!" laughed one child.
We did notice one student sketching a picture. Curious, we asked
Cody Mayers what his drawing represented. "That's
my Uncle Ron." Mayers told us that his Uncle Ron listened
to "music like this." Curious as to why he used the
past tense we asked Cody to elaborate. Mayers explained that his
Uncle Ron "borroweded (sic) stuff" from members of
the Mayers household without returning it. "He lived with
us until my dad hit him but I wasn't allowed to go down
in the basement to look for my Play Station." As Miss Rice
was unavailable to correct Cody's grammar, we informed him
that his uncle obviously "stoleded" his Play Station
to support a methamphetamine and Cover Girl habit.
artists have stirred controversy in quite the way that Toby Keith
has. Rather than stir up more debate, we were interested to see
how the class would interpret "Beer for my Horses."
One of the Mars Volta's most vocal detractors, Keyshawn
Green, immediately requested another Hip-hop song. Intrigued,
we asked Keyshawn if he disagreed with the selection based upon
Keith's fiercely patriotic stance or, perhaps, his support
of the war in Iraq. His response (wherein he typified Keith as
"some ol' cracker-ass bow-shit") earned him
a quick trip to the principal's office.
Rice asked us if we could finish our experiment quickly before
the tensions in the classroom escalated any further. Within a
few moment's of Sheryl Crow's First Cut is the Deepest,
Cody Rosen offered his opinion that "only people's
Nanas" could enjoy Crow's brand of Americana. Sensing
our discomfort, young Cody then asked me if we enjoyed her music.
We responded that we did and, without thinking that our opinion
might adversely influence the class', we attempted to explain.
Before we had a chance to elaborate on an off-hand statement we
had made about the application of a post-modern sensibility to
what is more commonly thought of as a traditional genre, Cody
asked our age. We responded "38.".
to quell the subsequent pandemonium, Miss Rice hurriedly thanked
us for our visit, apologized again for the behavior of her students
and pointed us toward the door.
for you now are the few interpretations that Miss Rice was able
to salvage and hand-deliver to us at a tiny bistro near her nicely
appointed and surprisingly spacious apartment.
