Officer James Choquette was searching for a robber when his unmarked LAPD patrol car was slammed by a drunken driver on Aug. 2, 1979.
Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck, who held Choquette as he died, memorialized him with a shiny plaque on the department's new End of Watch Memorial Wall, a first-of-its-kind structure unveiled Monday at the Gardena manufacturer where the 7-ton structure was built out of steel, acrylic crystal and 10,000 LED lights.
"We've had 55 deaths in the line of duty since I've been a police officer, and four since I've been chief," Beck said. "There's a name up there on that wall that's particularly special to everyone in this room. Make a (financial) contribution and then you will have done what it takes to restore the heart."
The 58-foot-long wall of shiny steel and acrylic crystal is backlit with bright blue lights and, sitting on 36 super-duty casters, is designed to travel the state and country. Its planned stops include the State Capitol, Los Angeles City Hall, the new Tom Bradley International Terminal at LAX, local schools and college campuses.
But the groups that conceived the idea for the memorial — the Los Angeles Police Protective League and Eagle & Badge Foundation — intend to take the wall on a nationwide tour once enough money is raised to pay for its construction and travel expenses. Its ultimate goal is to serve as a fundraising engine for the families of officers who died.
The wall, built by Commemorative Badge Co. in Gardena, will make an appearance May 5 and 6 at the California Peace Officers Memorial Ceremony in Sacramento.
It was designed by local artist Timothy Lampros to be large in every sense.
It weighs 15,000 pounds, stands 9 feet tall, and took 70 people more than six months to build. One thousand feet of steel were used, including some that was intricately cut to create 4-foot-tall LAPD badges from various eras. Four thousand nuts and bolts hold it all together.
"My belief is that the wall has got to make an impact," Lampros said. "That's why it's got to go places. So you can be a part of people feeling the loss — as we all should. People need to feel and realize deep down inside the sacrifice that is made by police officers and law enforcement."
The wall has 204 backlit acrylic crystal nameplates that are each etched with the name, rank and date of death, or "end-of-watch," of a Los Angeles Police Department officer who died in the line of duty. Two LAPD officers have died since construction began — Christopher Cortijo and Nicholas Lee, who were both killed in traffic collision.
"This wall will never be finished," said Los Angeles Police Protective League President Tyler Izen. "We owe it to our deceased comrades to always remember them and their sacrifice."
Those who donate $25 or more will receive a steel key chain medallion that commemorates the End of Watch Memorial Wall. Large donors will receive engravings on the Family Recognition Board and the Friends Donor Board, among other commemorative gifts. Donations can be made online at lapdeowmemorialwall.com.

I like the book because I wanted to see if Rusty would survive. I wanted to keep reading because Rusty was injured. Rusty got stuck on a rusty old piece of wire. I felt bad for Rusty because he was alone in the dark when he got hurt. My favorite part was when Eva tried to save Rusty. She tried to save Rusty because he was crying for help. Rusty was hurt in the wild and Eva heard him crying so she tried to find and help him.
I recommend reading Rusty the Injured Fox Cub to someone who likes fox cubs. Also if you like helping animals, you will like this book. This book teaches you that we should care for wild animals because if we don't help them they can die.

Growing up one of my favorite childhood memories was that of our Christmas morning routine.
My sisters and I would awake very early and rush to the family room to see what Santa had left for us while we slept. We would then rummage through our stockings, each sort our presents into piles and spend time shaking and analyzing what might be in each of the many packages Santa had left for us. Once the sun came up, we were allowed to wake my parents. But in my Father's bid to
torturetease us, he had this whole routine where he would stretch and yawn for what seemed like hours before budging. Then of course we would have to bring him coffee. And just when we thought we were going to begin opening presents, my Dad would suddenly have a craving for a cookie. My Dad would prolong his morning routine until us kids were bursting with excitement. Only then were we allowed to begin opening presents. As much as we may have acted otherwise, my sisters and I loved this little game.
Who among us does not have a favourite childhood memory of waking up on Christmas morning? A tree that somehow seemed larger than life, presents flowing from beneath its branches and perhaps the wonderful smells of a turkey roasting in the oven. Now try and picture your life void of those memories, try and picture being a child who might not get to know those sights, those smells, that overwhelming, uncontainable joy when Santa's existence is indisputable?
For many children, they do not have to imagine that - they live it.
This year, we have "adopted" a family for the the holidays through our church's affiliation with South Street Ministries. Our adopted family consists of a single mom and her four young children. When the mom approached South Street Ministries for help with Christmas, she was very reluctant to ask for much because she did not want to seem "greedy", she just wanted to make sure that her kids each had a present to open on Christmas morning. When a family seeks help from South Street, they are asked to complete a Christmas list. The initial wish list the family submitted was somewhat heartbreaking…the 5 year old boy asked for a stocking as he has never had one before, the 3 year old asked for shoes, another child wanted a blanket.
P.S. Thank you to all my special blogging friends for your prayers, kind words, and emails. Kyle spent four days in the hospital on oxygen support,and is at home doing much better now. He ended up having pneumonia, and with his lungs already compromised, it hit him quick and hard. I apologize for not posting an update. The weekend Kyle got sick was the same weekend we adopted our family…losing almost a week's time with Kyle sick and in the hospital really put us in a time crunch. Anyways, thanks so much for the thoughts and prayers and I am sorry for my lack of updates.

What is Permanent Cosmetics?
The Permanent Cosmetics Industry continually works to regulate and accredit procedures, ensuring that there are safe and standard practices for patient care.

Unfortunately, there are some people who claim to be Permanent Makeup Professionals that neither have sufficient education nor practice permanent cosmetics safely. It is IIPC's recommendation that extensive research be done before selecting a permanent cosmetics institute for training and prior to undergoing any permanent makeup procedure.

The San Diego Chargers have been as unlucky with injuries as anyone this season. And today it's getting worse.
Chargers left tackle King Dunlap went down with an injury early in the game against the Jaguars. Then Dunlap's replacement, Mike Remmers, promptly suffered an injury of his own.
There's no immediate word on the severity of either left tackle's injury, but losing both their starting left tackle and their backup left tackle would be a huge blow for a team that can't afford any more bad injury news.
At least, it would be a huge blow going forward. Today they're playing the Jaguars, so it's no surprise that despite the injuries, the Chargers lead 14-0.

{Thanks to Goon Squad Sarah for sharing this post on Kirtsy}
Mom, do you believe in Santa Claus?
I get this question more than I get any other one. June 8th, they'll be asking me. I think it's because they want to believe what I believe, whether or not they know it can't be true. They want to believe in me, so they believe in Santa.
I tell them yes every time they ask. When they ask if I ever doubted, I tell them no, but that Santa didn't come to my house when I was a kid, so I never really believed or didn't. I tell them that when 1of3 was a tiny baby and I saw the magic of Christmas, the true meaning of it, for the very first time, I had to believe.
That is true. And I do believe in Santa. I believe that you are Santa and I am Santa and that guy in the grocery store who bumps into you and doesn't even apologize? He's Santa, too. We parents, we are magic personified. Everything we do is of fairy dust and pixie wishes in the eyes of our children, if we let it be. We are legends, we are gods, we are giants. We are myth and legends. We are earth and sky to these children who just want to believe in us.
We Santas aren't just the fat guy in the red suit how drops gifts off...we are the symbol of hope and of faith to our children. We are what teaches them that their actions matter, even when no one is looking. We are what allows them to realize that, even though they maybe totally fucked up, there is always the chance for redemption, that no one actually ever leaves coal, that there is always forgiveness and love waiting for you, dry and toasty over the fire.
I believe in Santa Claus, yes I do. I believe in me, I believe in you, I believe in all of us. My son believes that the beams of light that cut through the clouds after a storm and slice the sky in yellow shards are the fingers of god, and he believes that his mother has faith in something purely good and loving and generous and beautiful, and so he knows that he can believe in those things, too.
And that is the greatest gift Santa could ever give a child. Or his jaded old broken grown up mom.

There was a cook who needed to bring a pot of water to a boil for his recipe. However, every few minutes he would pour out half of the water and refill the pot with cold water. As a result, the water would never boil.
Karate is like this. You have to give the water time to boil. If you keep adding new things, you will only be lukewarm.
Why do some people constantly dilute their Karate with other things -- other kata, other styles, whatever is popular at the time?
If your Karate curriculum is sufficiently complete, it will "boil" if you give it enough time. However, if you have not learned a sufficiently complete system, no amount of heat will cause your Karate to "boil."
So what is "sufficiently complete?" This is hard to say. It is easier to say what is not. If your Karate does not provide good results, despite long term, diligent effort, and if your technique becomes worse with age rather than better, then you might have learned a system that is not sufficiently complete. This is easy to have done, given the many times in Karate history when the art was compressed or limited to teach school students, university students, military draftees, foreigners (with limited time to train), etc., and modified for tournaments. Each time the art was reduced, it became less complete and the chance of "boiling" also was reduced.
Let me give you another example. It is necessary to learn the alphabet in order to communicate in writing. However, repeating the alphabet thousands of times will not help you to form words and sentences, and to write freely. The alphabet, by itself, is not a complete system. It is a necessary part, but not the whole thing.
Alphabet Karate is not complete either. No amount of repeating it will yield transformational (boiling) results.
If you practice a complete system, give it time. With your diligent effort and sufficient time, you will be amazed at the results! Don't dilute your Karate. Give it a chance to boil!

Cesamet Important Risk Information
- Do not take Cesamet if you are allergic to any of its ingredients or any other cannabinoids.
- The effects of Cesamet last longer in some people than others. Mental side effects could last for 2 or 3 days after you stop taking it.
- Cesamet works in your brain. You might feel dizzy, sleepy, "high", uncoordinated, anxious, confused, or depressed while taking Cesamet. You might also hear or see things that are not real.
- Cesamet can make your heart race or blood pressure drop. Ask your doctor about this if you are older or have high blood pressure or heart disease.
- Cesamet affects people differently. You should take Cesamet around an adult you trust. This is most important when you first take Cesamet or if your doctor changes your dose.
- Do not drive, use machines, or do other activities that could be dangerous until you know how Cesamet affects you.
- Do not drink alcohol, take sleeping pills, or take other medicines that affect your brain while you are taking Cesamet. If you do, the side effects of Cesamet could be worse.
- Talk to your doctor if you have ever had depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or another mental disorder. Cesamet could bring out the symptoms of these illnesses.
- Cesamet is similar to marijuana. Tell your doctor if you ever abused or were dependent on alcohol or marijuana.
- Cesamet has not been studied in pregnant women, nursing mothers, or children. These patients should be careful when taking Cesamet.
- Cesamet can change heart rhythms. The effects of these changes in heart rhythms are not known.
- In scientific studies, most patients who took Cesamet had at least one side effect. The most common side effects were sleepiness, dizziness, dry mouth, a "high" feeling, an uncoordinated feeling, a headache, and problems concentrating.
Cesamet Indication
- Cesamet is a medicine for nausea and vomiting caused by cancer chemotherapy. It is used when other drugs have not been able to control these symptoms. The scientific name of Cesamet is nabilone.
- Doctors prescribe other drugs first because Cesamet can affect your mental state. Other nausea and vomiting drugs usually do not have this kind of side effect.
- Cesamet can affect your mental state, so you should take it around an adult you trust. This is most important when you first take Cesamet and if your doctor changes your dose.
- Cesamet can be abused, so there are laws about how doctors can prescribe it. Prescriptions for Cesamet should last for just a few days.
- Your doctor might watch you for signs of abusing Cesamet. If you or a family member has ever abused drugs or had a mental illness, you might have a higher risk of abusing Cesamet.
- Only take Cesamet when your doctor told you to. It should not be the first drug you take for nausea and vomiting.

Learning More About Skin Care Anti Aging Creams And Lotions
With more research underway surrounding the endocannabinoid system and cannabinoids such as CBD and THC, many new methods for infusing products with cannabinoids are being developed. One of the most intriguing is in using them within skin care products.
Cannabis topicals come in the form of lotion, salves, balms, and oils, all of which have been infused with cannabinoids. They absorb into the skin directly upon application. Topicals have only grown in popularity over the years. In fact, THC and CBD has even been utilized in general cosmetic products and even personal lubricants.
CBD Skin Care in For Anti Aging
CBD Skin Care Lotion For Stretch Marks
Applying cannabinoids topically will allow them to absorb into the body quite quickly. The relief is also more focused, generally only affecting the specific area where the product was used. On the other hand, smoking or ingesting marijuana affects the entire body, and it can take up to two hours for any effects to be felt.
CBD Skin Care Topicals are only mildly invasive, and they make a strong entryway for those that are curious to dip their toes into the world of medical cannabis. The prospect of smoking or ingestion is quite scary to the uninitiated. External options make a fantastic compromise.
It's also worth noting that topicals are not psychoactive. The endocannabinoid system is activated, and any mind altering properties are blocked from entering the bloodstream. It's worth noting that topical dosages must be quite large. Since the skin of humans absorbs cannabinoids at a low rate, a liberal application is suggested as a workaround.
That said, CBD and CBN can work their way into the skin much easier than THC. They're also more likely to engage the receptors of the CB2 cannabinoids. As such, they have become quite popular for cannabis topical manufacturers. CBD Skin Care Lotions contents have much more hemp than your run of the mill variety of marijuana. Hemp has numerous benefits, included significantly lower toxicity.
CBD oil lotion is also quite popular since there are dual purposes at play. They'll smooth out and even soften the skin of the applied area. Of course, they also allow highly specific use of CBD. It's not uncommon for people to become very adamant that CBD oil Skin Care in For Anti Aging become a regular part of their lives after trying it for the first time. The FDA isn't keen on any particular health claims being made of course, but it's hard to deny the satisfaction rate of those that have been using CBD topicals thus far.
THC is quite well known, having been included in the conversation about marijuana for quite some time now. CBD has become more prominent as of late thanks to plenty of research and trials however. It has been shown to help prevent pain, anxiety, and even nausea. It also happens to be legal when extracted from industrial hemp. There is still much work to be done towards achieving widespread understanding and use of topical products such as CBD Skin Care in For Anti Aging , but it's clear that we're many steps closer than ever before.
Anti Aging Creams For Wrinkles For Anti Aging For Healthy Skin
CBD Pain Relief Lotion Benefits
Looking at CBD, you will find that a lot of the research is still in the early stages. However, thanks to the changing laws in a number of places, there are more people starting to realize the many medicinal benefits that hemp has. CBD pain relief cream is something that has been able to help a countless number of patients within the United States who live in areas where marijuana has been legalized to get great benefits.
While many people have often immediately gone to the idea that marijuana is mostly known for THC content, researchers have been working hard to identify many of the other components of the plant that can be beneficial to a wide range of patients. It is more important that ever that you get your CBD pain relief cream from an authorized manufacturer and a distributor that you can trust. Every state that has legalized medical marijuana has rules in place regarding the making and distribution of any creams like this. It is best to look into the laws and guidelines where you live to be sure that there are products available that you can buy that adhere to these rules and guidelines.
When it comes to such a cream, you also need to understand how much of the cream you should be using and the best way to apply it. The ingredients get absorbed into the skin, so it may be hard to determine the right dosage in the beginning. Some people will recommend the use of a chart that helps you to track progress with any cream. For example, you can make notations on your pain level with each application.
While you are noting the use of the cream, write down how much you are using and the brand. You can then record how you are feeling after about fifteen minutes and up to an hour later. Keep a log like this and you will find that you have a good bit of quality information that you can refer to on the dosing and how your body may be reacting. Proper monitoring of all application locations will help you to get a better idea.
CBD pain relief cream can be used in a number of states where it is now legal, and it can help to give you a great deal of comfort and freedom from the pain that has been holding you back on a daily basis.

[ the drawing | painting stage-1 | painting stage-2 | painting stage-3 ]
|Birch Tree Farm
A few general notes:
I recommend a medium soft pencil, 1B keep it sharp and using only light pressure you will be able to draw a clearly visible line.
Draw the grid lines in very faintly to suit your own size of paper.
The twelve rectangles must be square, four across by three down. If you use a quarter sheet of standard water colour paper i.e.. 15x11inches, the grid squares should be 3.5x3.5 inches, leaving a border of quarter inch top and bottom with half inch at the sides.
Roughly but lightly copy the contents of each square - then view your drawing at this preliminary stage comparing shapes and lines relative to where the grid-lines intersect. If you feel the need to erase any part of your drawing - dabbing gently or rolling a fresh piece of blue-tack over the mistake will remove most of the graphite.
At this stage study your drawing looking for lines and shapes that seem unstructured, disjointed, or appear to go nowhere.
Mentally paint the areas contained by your pencilwork i.e. the areas that
form the sky, the hills, the fields and trees, etc. If you find that some
parts of your drawing are difficult to understand compare that area with
the above drawing making the necessary corrections.
Now emphasise lines in the composition where necessary.
By following these few basic procedures you should produce a reasonable drawing.
When you feel the drawing is finished don't be tempted to erase the grid lines with an ordinary eraser as this will damage the surface, causing any colour-wash to soak deeper into the paper and show darker in the area erased.
Carefully erase all visible grid-lines, using putty rubber or good quality eraser, after the painting is finished and only when it is totally dry.
Be warned where the colour-wash is dark, erasing may cause it to go noticeably lighter - be gentle with the surface of the paper, all scrapes, knocks, scratches and greasy finger marks will show up on the finished work.

Kendall Bogese and Radiant Sky—October 14, 2011
From: Judge Rob Gage
I watched this round 3 times Kendall. I thought it was an unusual course. You don't see too many hunter courses incorporate two triple lines!
I liked your opening circle, and how you just fell into the canter smoothly from the trot to the canter. Your eye was good, although I though you were a bit short to the final jump of the first triple line. But honestly, I think that is more of an error on the part of the course designer. I mean, you jumped into the line perfectly, and your pacing seemed quite accurate, so…..if you jump part A & B well, (you did) then part C should be set so you get there perfectly as well.
This was a hunter class, so I thought your body position was a little too upright…reminiscent of an eq class to me. Your break over motion was somewhat abrupt. You start too upright, then, you over exaggerate your break over motion and almost touch your chin to his mane at the apex of the arc. That's just too much distance for your body to cover smoothly. You need to start your motion with your torso already slightly tilted forward, they stop your body's motion when your chest gets to about 3-4 inches above his mane.
I thought your horse jumped beautifully. I know there are some old fashioned horsemen who feel that all hunters should wear standing martingales, just for "the look". I'm not one of them. If your horse goes well without a martingale……then why wear one?? Just practice on yourself for a while. Try some bounce jumps. That will help teach your not to over break with your body. If your horse is quiet enough at home, you can also go through some easy grids with "no hands"…..but, you must have a very quiet horse.

Legal historian discusses Lincoln's quest to abolish slavery
October 18, 2013
The Loyola University New Orleans College of Law will present a free lecture by American historian and legal scholar Paul Finkelman, Ph.D., on how Abraham Lincoln, once a railroad lawyer, eventually became known as the "great emancipator." The lecture, presented by Loyola's Biever Guest Lectures Series, takes place Tuesday, Nov. 12 at 7 p.m. in the College of Law, room 308. It is free and open to the public.
Finkelman will discuss the constitutional, political and military constraints on President Lincoln leading up to the Emancipation Proclamation. The "How a Railroad Lawyer Became the Great Emancipator: Abraham Lincoln and the Constitutional Limitations on Emancipation" lecture will contrast his personal, deep hatred of slavery with his obligations as president and commander-in-chief of the army and navy, and his responsibilities under the Constitution. Finkelman will consider the various answers to the question, "Who freed the slaves?" He will also discuss and explore the 2012 Academy Award-winning movie, "Lincoln," starring Daniel Day-Lewis.
Finkelman is the author of more than 150 scholarly articles and more than 30 books, including "Millard Fillmore;" "Slavery and the Founders: Race and Liberty in the Age of Jefferson;" "The Political Lincoln;" "A March of Liberty: A Constitutional History of the United States;" and "Slavery in the Courtroom," which won the Joseph L. Andrews Award from the American Association of Law Librarians. One of the most cited legal historians, he has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today and The Huffington Post. He was also the lead expert witness in the lawsuit over the ownership of Barry Bonds' 73rd home run ball in the case of Popov v. Hayashi.
Finkelman serves as the President William McKinley Distinguished Professor of Law and Public Policy as well as a senior fellow in the Government Law Center at Albany Law School. He has been an expert witness in cases involving religious freedom, civil and voting rights. The U.S. Supreme Court has cited his work in cases involving religion, the Second Amendment and affirmative action.

A Tale Dark and Grimm, So You Want to Be a Jedi?
Adam Gidwitz grew up in Baltimore. Now he lives in Brooklyn and teaches kids large and slightly less large at Saint Ann's School. Adam only writes about what he's experienced personally. So, while all of the strange, hilarious, and frightening things in A TALE DARK AND GRIMM really did happen to Hansel and Gretel, they also happened to Adam.

Q: Should this page have instructions / link to get Konstruct?
A: It's already there:
svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/KDE/3.5/konstruct/
Q: What about a link to http://developer.kde.org/build/konstruct/stable/konstruct-stable.tar.bz2? BTW this is the link listed in Softpedia.
A: The old location for the tarball is no longer current. I'm working on getting a snapshot hosted on a server.
Q: The build on my machine failed with following error:
kernel/qpngio.cpp:45:17: png.h: No such file or directory
Is the existence of png.h not being checked earlier?
A: Please be sure you have the development headers for libpng installed.
Q: When does konstruct typically get updated relative to new builds being released? It is still setup for 3.5.7, and 3.5.8 has been out for a couple of weeks now. When can we expect an updated konstruct build?
A: The latest version of Konstruct currently installs 3.5.8, and will be updated this weekend to build 3.5.9.
Q: Well, not really... it is still 3.5.7 (May 2008)...

I did something really, really, really dumb.
I gave up dessert for Lent.
As I've gotten older, my sweet tooth has significantly lessened, but apparently not to the point where 40 dessert-free days and nights will be easy. As I type this blog post on Monday night, I am majorly jonesing for some ice cream. I know it's supposed to be a sacrifice, but dude...unfulfilled ice cream cravings suck.
Fortunately, I can still cook delicious things like this Chicken Diablo over the upcoming weeks. I know it doesn't look like anything special, but it is probably one of my favorite dinner recipes that I've posted on here. I hate bland food and under-seasoned food, and this is anything but! I'm planning on making it again sometime soon with Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, to make it a bit healthier.
Here's what you'll need:
1/2 cup Frank's hot pepper sauce
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 large boneless, skinless, chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness
2 tablespoons canola oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
Sliced scallions, to taste
Cooked white rice, for serving
Combine pepper sauce, sour cream, ketchup, honey, paprika, and cumin in a medium bowl, and whisk well to combine.
Place chicken in a shallow dish, and pour half the sauce over the top, turning to coat. Cover, and place in the fridge for 2 hours to marinate. Cover the remaining sauce and store in the fridge.
Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the garlic, and cook for 30 seconds. Remove chicken from marinade, and place in the skillet (discard extra marinade.) Cook until browned and cooked through, turning frequently, for about 15-20 minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, heat the remaining sauce in a small saucepan on low, until warmed.
To serve, scoop rice onto a plate, top with chicken, sauce, and scallions. Eat. Drool. Repeat.

Finding Success
Survey says our graduates are doing well
January 20, 2014
Graduates of the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University are finding success after college. In a survey conducted by the Office of Career Services at CSB and SJU, 99 percent of the graduates from the CSB and SJU classes of 2012 report being employed full-time (72 percent), continuing their education (17 percent), engaged in full-time volunteer service (8-percent), in the military (1 percent) or working part-time (1 percent).
Less than one-percent of those responding to the survey said they remained unemployed and seeking work one year after graduation. Nationally, the unemployment rate for college graduates under age 25 in May 2013 was 8.2 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
More than half of the respondents to the survey provided salary information with their answers. For those employed full-time, the estimated average income was $38,611. Additionally, 34 percent reported incomes greater than $45,000 and 41 percent reported incomes between $30,000 and $45,000.

|Honey white challah in a rather sad looking 6-strand braid
and a whole wheat version with sesame seeds and a much easier 3-strand braid!
|Very rich tasting and easy to make!
The great recipes can be found here.
Until recently, I have not been much of a bread maker. I remember my mom baking bread a lot when I was a kid... and really, is there a better smell than baking bread or a better taste than fresh, warm bread and butter with jam??? I don't think so.
So this Challah challenge was quite exciting to take part in. The recipes that I followed (whole wheat and honey white) were easy and straight forward. I was a bit too ambitious with my braiding though - a 6-strand braid was waaay to complicated for me. I should have started with the regular 3-strand version! Regardless, the bread was fantastic. My favorite is the honey white! It has a rich taste and I found that one slice was very filling.
I froze a couple of loaves for future bread puddings, croutons, bread crumbs, french toast ideas. I will definitely be making this bread again!
Here is the honey white recipe.
- In mixer bowl/large mixing bowl combine ½ cup warm water, 1 Tbsp. sugar and 2 Tbsp. yeast. Allow to proof approximately 5 minutes until foamy.
- To the yeast mixture add the remaining water, honey, oil, eggs, salt and 5 cups of flour. Knead (by hand or with your mixer's dough hook) until smooth, adding flour as needed. Knead for approximately 10 minutes.
- Transfer dough to a clean, oiled bowl, turn to coat or add a bit more oil on top. Cover bowl with a kitchen/tea towel. Leave to rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 ½ hours.
- Punch down the dough, divide it into two sections. Use one half to make each loaf (shaped or braided as desired).
- Place loaves on parchment lined or greased baking sheets, cover with a towel, allow to rise 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Brush tops loaves with egg wash. (Sprinkle with seeds or toppings here if wanted.)
- Bake loaves 30-40 minutes until done.
- Cool on wire racks.

Vail Daily letter: Facts wrong, 'hater'
Vail, CO, Colorado
I am visiting Vail Valley over Thanksgiving to do some skiing and could not help but note the lack of correct information on the Affordable Care Act in the letter from Michael Cacioppo.
His example of the business with 30 employees does not make any sense. The Affordable Care Act does not require businesses with 30 employees to provide health insurance. The threshold for required coverage is 50 employees.
The 3.8 percent tax that he mentions in connection with his question on "what happened to the promise that taxes would only go up on people earning more than $250,000" is the Medicare tax on investment income.
It only applies to investment income of couples with income in excess of $250,000.
Much misinformation has been circulated on this tax on the Internet. It does not apply to the sales price of a residence. It applies only to taxable gain and then only if you meet the $250,000 income threshold.
In addition the first $500,000 of gain on the sale of a couple's principle residence is exempt from income tax and would not be subject to this tax.
His example of the small business that might be laying off employees six, seven or eight is also totally incorrect. This size business is not required to provide health insurance to employees. Rather this size business will reap significant advantages from Affordable Care Act.
The insurance exchanges will allow this size business to cover employees as the part of a large pool of insureds so that the illness of a single employee will no longer cause premiums for the small group to skyrocket. In addition, this size employer will be entitled to tax credits to partially subsidize insurance provided to employees.
Reverting to the Clinton era tax rates hardly spells doom for the stock market. It did quite well in the '90s when these rates were in effect. Compare that to a decline in the major market indicators during the eight years of the Bush administration with the current rates in effect.
Capital gain rates would go back to 20 percent from the current 15 percent for high-income taxpayers. Dividends would be taxed at the same rate as compensation for services. The bulk of the dividends are in the hands of the wealthy.
Most of us average people hold much of our wealth in retirement plans such as 401(k) plans and IRAs. Dividends and capital gains earned in these plans are taxed at the higher ordinary income tax rates when distributed to the retiree, thus most people do not get the benefit of the lower dividend or capital gain rates.

About Us
|The Lupus Foundation of Southern California is a 501(c)(3) non-profit health agency. We originated as a small support group for local lupus patients, which gradually grew and became the San Diego Chapter of The American Lupus Society (TALS) in 1976. In August of 1996, TALS merged with the Lupus Foundation of America (LFA). Since then we have become the Lupus Foundation of Southern California San Diego/Imperial County. We are a patient-oriented, non-profit, volunteer health agency. Various support groups are held throughout San Diego and Imperial County, and quarterly seminars are held that we feel are pertinent to people with lupus. They are always free and open to the public. Please see our calendar for the next scheduled seminar.
|We are always looking for ways to improve the services we provide and to expand our services to other parts of the county. If you have thoughts on the direction our organization should take or programs you feel we should incorporate, please call the office with your ideas.

Topic: Hawkwind - the Onward tour, UK & Eire
Posted: May 27 2012 at 08:39
Hawkwind will soon be entering their 43rd year of space trucking and it's customary for Hawkwind to take to the stage and produce some spacey effects. Tonight, Mr Dibs generated effects on his electric cello before narrating "The Awakening", the oldest track in the setlist. The band first did this Bob Calvert space poem in 1971, I believe. Dibsy has his critics, but I think he's a good space poetry narrator, even if his dress sense does raise a few eyebrows, but more on that in a minute.
The distinctive strains of "You'd Better Believe it" then kicked in, and this is where I switched my pocket camera off and started bopping around by the right speaker stack.
My start-of-gig clip is on
youtube, if you want to see how a 2012 show kicks off. Sound quality is rough,
but it captures the 'feel' of the event quite well, I'd say.
The Hawkwind squad
Over the years, Hawkwind's line-up has seen more squad rotation than just about any other band: hell, even Rafael Benítez would be impressed. This continues into individual gigs, too. At the Bridport gig, people further back from the stage might have thought the distorted wah-wah guitar riffing was coming from Dave Brock, but it was Nial Hone... and Brock made a "showcase" gesture with his arms at one point, as if to say "no, it's him doing it, folks!"
Incidently, Hone is the newest member he joined in 2008, from the psychedelic prog band Tribe of Cro.
Dibsy would be playing bass on these tracks, but during other pieces, Hone would switch to bass duties, and Mr Dibs sometimes used a weird figure-of-eight object an electric cello. Meanwhile Tim Blake generally plays keyboards or the theramin, but did the lead guitar on some tracks, on his keytar. Prior to the gig there were rumours of a surprise guest (what, rumours among Hawkwind fans? wow) but as it turned out there weren't any.
Mr Dibs surprised a lot of us by
coming onstage in a kind of black kilt, and chunky calf-high boots with arrays
of silver buckles, and with bare legs showing!
The Hawkwind setlist
This current tour promotes the new studio album "Onward." Naturally enough, there was some new stuff, some from that rather good "Onward" album, but older fans were comfortable with hearing the likes of Hassan i Sahba, Sonic Attack, Assault and Battery / Golden Void, Damnation Alley and Psychedelic Warlords all of these dating from the "golden age of Hawkwind" in the 1970s. Love in Space was a surprise return to the set, though, a Brock cosmic ballad from the mid 1990s.
One oddity is that the new album makes heavy use of dynamic
range compression, and during "The Hills Have Ears" I was listening to
Richard Chadwick's drumming and Nial Hone's guitaring, and I reflected that it
sounded clearer live than it does on the studio album. Now, I call that weird.
And so the tour is under way...
Hawkwind's blend of old and new stuff was performed in a
pretty high-energy way... and the band looked like they were enjoying
themselves. No "first night nerves" then, or any loose bits; they
looked well-prepared and just got on with the biz. The night was extremely hot in the other sense of the word, too, as most of us were sweating profusely.
Next stop for me is the Southampton gig in just over a week, and I'll be interested to see if there's any differences in the setlist or performance. For now, I'll just say the Hawkwind legacy of space rock is still safe in Dave Brock's hands,

On the Hawkwind forum, a post of mine pointing to the above review received a reply from a shocked Steve Pond of Krankschaft, pointing out there WAS a guest - Dead Fred of Krankschaft.
In my photo above, he's the one in the baseball cap, just visible on the left ... and he's playing keyboards.
So that's a big "oops sorry" from me, then.

Southampton (4 June)
Having seen the opening night in Bridport earlier, it was fun to see the closing night of the tour. At Bridport, I was sober, whereas at Southampton I was fairly sozzled at the gig and royally hammered by the time I got back to my hotel at 2am. It took me two days to recover from the hangover.
As at the Bridport show, Huw Lloyd-Langton did the support act, and again Dave Brock joined him on stage on harmonica, and Richard Chadwick on drums, for one number. I got some of that for youtube, and will post it tonight or Friday. Huw was in Hawkwind several times; 1970, then again in 1979, and again in 2001, and he always gets a good reception from the Hawkwind crowd.
Hawkwind's setlist was pretty much the same as the opening night, except that we had one extra track for the encore.... a little ditty called "Silver Machine" if anyone's heard of that one!
The mix was better here in that I could hear Dead Fred (Phillip Reeves) this time, and his keyboard work made the band sound somewhat more proggy than usual. Again, there were no dancers - they seem only to have done their thing on the northern dates (and possibly the Ireland ones too).
Perhaps it's because he's getting on a bit, Dave Brock doesn't do as many vocals as in the old days, but he did quite a bit at this gig, including quite a lot of "Sonic Attack" - Mr Dibs did the rest, while scraping away on that electric cllo.
Unlike Bridport, this time I watched from further back, to see more of the overall lightshow - the backdrop visuals were mainly kaleidoscopic in appearance and used much fewer background film clips than usual.
I enjoyed the two gigs, and am now looking forward to seeing them at Carnglaze in September, if that show is confirmed!

Wow is that the same Dead Fred that was in Inner City Unit? I'm surprised he has joined the mothership given the spat between the Captain and Nik.

Yes, it was the same guy. I guess he wasn't viewed as 'contaminated' by old associations.
Incidently, I've posted an unusual video from the show, on youtube, showing Sonic Attack from three different cameras simultaneously. One camera's mine.
I think it's fun to watch!

I've written a few custom components in my time working with ADEP but recently came across an excellent summary of what exactly these little (or in some cases large!) pieces of code actually are. A recent blog post on the Adobe ADEP blog summarised it nicely:
A DSC is a component that can be installed on a Documents Server and introduces new functionality. It stands for Document Service Component. Most product components are DSCs but customers can write their own DSCs to create new integrations or functionality that require a higher level of sophistication than is appropriate with the use of standard integration options (e.g SOAP) or scripting/process maps. They are basically POJOs with nifty enterprise configurations around them that allow enterprise class life cycle, versioning and configuration (e.g. in an enterprise BPM system you don't necessarily want a new version of a component to alter the way an inflight process is operating, or how a completed process reports audit data…) or even have to bounce the server to change the implementation of the DSC. It is definitely part of the secrete sauce of LiveCycle/ADEP Document Services.

The first time you see the Herman B Wells Library at IU, you may think, "wow, that's awesome!" or perhaps, "what a strange looking building!" Either way, you may or may not realize that you're looking at a library that hosts an extraordinary Information Commons, multiple quiet and group study floors, and endless rows of stacks that contain tomes of knowledge that have been slowly accrued over the last several millenia. So I encourage you to venture in, grab a coffee, and learn about the endless resources that are available to you through the IU Libraries.
We are fortunate here at Indiana University to have a library system that includes agreements with other libraries to grant us students and the faculty access to almost any resource in the world. I have yet to find a book, journal, or article that is not accessible either online, in print, or through Inter-Library Loan. So, it's pretty easy to access scholarly resources here at IU, which makes life as a graduate student MUCH easier. There are many satellite libraries here on campus housed within each academic department (for example, the Chemistry Library, Life Sciences Library, Law Library, etc.), so you don't have to venture far to speak with a librarian to assist you with your studies. Moreover, the library even offers live chatting to help you facilitate your research if you get stuck and need to ask a question right away. A little known secret is that some of the satellite libraries even offer graduate assistantships to students that includes a fee remission, health insurance, and a stipend, just like a teaching or research student academic appointment would. So if you're still searching for funding, the libraries might be a good place to look if you're running out of options.
The bottom line is that the extensive resources and expertise that are available through the IU Libraries exist to facilitate the work of graduate students and faculty, which makes life much easier for us. So go ahead and stop in one of the libraries sometime and get to know your friendly neighborhood librarian, because they might just get you out of a bind when you're burning the wick at both ends trying to finish up an important project.

Cheap Divorce Service City of London
When To Use Fixed Price Divorce Service Divorces are a messy affair and considering today's economy wherein there is a shortage of money, going for a conventional divorce service may seem out of question for many couples. Sometimes, the spouses are not willing to speak about divorce because they cannot afford the same, hence they end up ignoring issues like division of marital assets, child support, etc. This is definitely not right, if the marriage isn't working out well then the couple has full rights to go for a divorce without letting money get in the way. The best way to do this would be to go for a Flat Fee Divorce attorney or company. The fact that such a company or professional charges a fixed amount of fee makes the couple more willing to negotiate and contemplate the idea of getting a divorce settlement. This kind of service allows the couple to spend less time in court and to do away with the hassles of divorce.
Our Fixed Price Divorce Service in London is also available in:
Other areas we cover in london:
Fixed Price Divorce Service City of London – making difficult times easier for you
- Fixed price divorce service is far better than regular divorce through lawyers because it isn't long winded, expensive or complicated
- With the help of family mediators, the service can be used for dealing with pensions, properties, finances and children
- Fixed price divorce service is a complete package that takes care of all things related and arising out of divorce, therefore there is no need of obtaining additional services
- You can get divorce with absolutely no wastage of money or time! We make the dreaded process of divorce less stressful for you

south african readers will undoubtedly know the work of pierneef, considered to be one of the 'old masters' of south african art. the graphic style of his work & his colour palettes are two reasons why he's one of my personal favourites.
the rupert museum in stellenbosch is currently hosting an exhibition of his Johannesburg Railway Station panels, which were commissioned by South African Railways in 1929. the thirty-two panels depicting landscapes of different parts of Southern Africa were unveiled in 1932 and displayed in the concourse of the then new Park Station in Johannesburg.
This project created enormous publicity for the artist, as the Railways were responsible for the promotion of tourism both nationally and internationally, and Johannesburg Railway Station became the main point of embarkation for visitors, whether tourists or businessmen, as the age of air transport had yet to arrive.
i would encourage anyone in the area to go check them out. more info here.
i remember seeing a pierneef for sale in a gallery once and it was priced at something like R2 million. his baobab painting sold for over R11 million in 2008.

(BOSTON, MA) – On July 26, brides- and grooms-to-be are cordially invited to the Samuel Adams Boston Brewery to celebrate their love…of beer. Beer has been an essential component of weddings for centuries. The medieval word "ale" is actually rooted in the word "bridal," which refers to a festive occasion where much ale is drunk in celebration.The brewers at Samuel Adams hold this tradition near and dear; in fact, Founder and Brewer Jim Koch brewed the first batch of Samuel Adams® Noble Pils for his daughter's wedding day.
To give couples the chance for a specialty brew as they say "I do," the brewers created Samuel Adams Brewlywed Ale, a limited release Belgian-style pale golden ale available for purchase on just one day, July 26, only at the Samuel Adams Boston Brewery. A distinct and complex brew, Samuel Adams Brewlywed Ale offers layers of flavor including fruit and honeysuckle notes from the Belgian yeast, sweetness from malt and citrus character from hops. Just 500 cases have been brewed for the "big day," so individuals or couples that are recently engaged or married (or anyone looking for a unique, beyond-the-registry gift) can line up for their chance to purchase a bottle or case. Grab those veils and cummerbunds, because the first 20 hopefuls to show up in wedding wear will be moved to the front of the line. And, whoever travels the farthest to "Brewlywed at the Brewery" will receive a bottle signed by Jim Koch and private tasting with a Samuel Adams brewer.
The day will also include beer pairing suggestions for popular wedding menu items, expert advice and answers to wedding questions from TheKnot.com, the #1 wedding destination, a toast from Samuel Adams Founder and Brewer Jim Koch and the chance to have Samuel Adams foot the tab* for your rehearsal dinner. For the most die-hard of beer fans, it could also be their actual "big day" – as a justice of the peace will be available to perform ceremonies on the spot (all you'll need is a completed wedding license**).
"Brewlywed at the Brewery" Day of Ceremonies
- 7:00AM: Line up early (at the Samuel Adams Brewery in Boston, Mass.). The first 20 people to arrive in bridal attire will be moved to the front of the line, ensuring one signed bottle from the 50 bottles signed by Jim Koch.
- 9:00AM: Brewery doors open and Samuel Adams Brewlywed Ale is for sale.
- 9:00AM-1:00PM: Wedding menu beer pairing suggestions from local small business owners who are members of our Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream program; wedding advice from Anja Winikka, Site Director of TheKnot.com; a raffle to have Samuel Adams pick up your rehearsal tab; wedding photo booth and more.
- 1:00PM: Last call. Brewlywed doors close at 1PM. (Samuel Adams brewery tours will continue until 3PM)
What Jim Koch, Founder and Brewer, has to say about the beer:
"Unquestionably, beer is the centerpiece of a great wedding. I brewed a special recipe for my own wedding and kept the tradition going by brewing the first batch of Samuel Adams Noble Pils for my daughter's wedding day. With Brewlywed Ale, we're celebrating the specialty-beer tradition with our drinkers while honoring a custom dating back to Middle Ages."
Boston drinkers clearly agree with this tried-and-true tradition as well; according to a recent survey*** the majority of people from the northeast agreed that the beer list was extremely important at a wedding.
Carley Roney, Co-Founder and Editor in Chief of The Knot.com also recognizes the trend:
"Brides and grooms today are more daring than they've ever been when it comes to embracing food and drink trends at their wedding. With beer being a favorite, couples are saying goodbye to the standard wine and cocktails and incorporating craft beer bars, beer tasting stations and beer and food pairings into their big day."
Samuel Adams Brewlywed Ale, Brewers' tasting notes:
- This traditional Belgian-style bride ale combines the tropical, floral aromas of Stella and Summer hops with subtle hints of spice.
- Its light malt character and soft hop profile impart an upfront fruity taste followed by lingering notes of clove and honeysuckle from Belgian yeast. The Belgian yeast also imparts distinct flavors of spicy clove and tropical fruit character.
- At 8% ABV, Samuel Adams Brewlywed Ale is a medium bodied brew, deep golden in color with a slight unfiltered haze.
- This special brew finishes a little crisp from the wheat, with a citrus and fruity note on the palate and lingering hop finish.
- We recommend serving this beer at a temperature of 40-45 degrees and enjoying it before your one-year anniversary.
- Samuel Adams Brewlywed Ale will be packaged in decorated 750mL, cork-finished bottles; and available for $14.99 per bottle, or purchased by the case of 12 (maximum of 3 cases per purchase).

**A wedding license can be obtained in any Massachusetts City or Town Hall. There is a three (3) day waiting period after application before couples can pick up the license; it is valid for 60 days after it is picked up. A license must be present in order to be married.

The Boston Beer Company began in 1984 with a generations-old family recipe that Founder and Brewer Jim Koch uncovered in his father's attic. Inspired and unafraid to challenge conventional thinking about beer, Jim brought the recipe to life in his kitchen. Pleased with the results of his work, Jim decided to sample his beer with bars in Boston in the hopes that drinkers would appreciate the complex, full-flavored beer he brewed fresh in America. That beer was aptly named Samuel Adams Boston Lager®, in recognition of one of our nation's great founding fathers, a man of independent mind and spirit. Little did Jim know at the time, Samuel Adams Boston Lager would soon become a catalyst of the American craft beer revolution.
Today, The Boston Beer Company brews more than 50 styles of beer. It relentlessly pursues the development of new styles and the perfection of classic beers by searching the world for the finest ingredients. Using the traditional four vessel brewing process, the Company often takes extra steps like dry-hopping, barrel-aging and a secondary fermentation known as krausening. The Company has also pioneered another revolution, the 'extreme beer' movement, where it seeks to challenge drinker's perceptions of what beer can be. The Boston Beer Company has been committed to elevating the image of American craft beer by entering festivals and competitions around the globe, and in the past five years has won more awards in international beer competitions than any other brewery in the world. As an independent company, brewing quality beer remains its single focus. Although Samuel Adams beer is America's largest-selling craft beer, it accounts for only one percent of the U.S. beer market. The Boston Beer Company will continue its independently-minded quest to brew great beer and to advocate for the growth of craft beer across America.

WITHOUT SOME advance warning, you might not know that Jeff Sharlet is a man of God. That's not an insult or backward compliment so much as it is fact. Though perhaps best known for his acclaimed nonfiction expose The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power, Sharlet doesn't beat readers over the head with the proverbial Bible he carries in his knapsack. If you don't know what clues to look for—tales of Germans born again in Oklahoma, descriptions of hipster trucker caps emblazoned with flashy youth crusade logos—you might miss some of his most powerful nods to spiritual and religious influence in his travels. You might mistake the nondenominational journalist for just another fantastically gifted storyteller, a shrewd correspondent reporting back from remote spiritual enclaves, rather than a disciple of God seeking to understand those with whom he shares some belief.
Sweet Heaven When I Die begins by tracing Sharlet's youthful days visiting a girlfriend's Colorado ranch and his grandmother's Knoxville home. His keen sense of personal history first grounds his essays in what is clearly important in his own life: the closeness of loved ones, the nearness of God. But he quickly moves beyond situating himself in his writing and instead steps back to peer like a prophet into the lives of others—philosopher and educator Cornel West or Yiddish novelist Chava Rosenfarb.

We want to let you know our family had a wonderful time aboard the Kansas Belle Dinner Train. We loved the attention to details, recreating a bygone era. My teenage daughter certainly enjoyed playing in the mystery, she even won best actress and solved the who-done-it. Even my father, though deaf, liked to watch the activities and take in the view from the window. We'll be back next year! –Renee Johnsson, Berlin Germany
This marks the one week anniversary of something Terri called" truly magical" -- our first ride on the Kansas Belle. You've really aced the elements that take service from good to great. I've seen a few five-star hotels do that with pre-printed cards, but what you and your team did, in crafting a written personal message, was a classy touch I've experienced nowhere else. The smiling and always attentive table service during the entire evening was outstanding. Then there was the consideration and willingness to help Terri customize the event to her wishes. Your team did it all, and with real flair, and made it look like it was no problem --even though we know it DID require a lot extra effort and time. In fact, the flowers are still fresh and in view as I write this. The home-made chocolate birthday cake deserved its own rave review, too. We will be back for more of that! –Joe Brown, Wichita KS
I cannot thank you and your company enough for the amazing night you gave me and Ashton. It was the perfect atmosphere for a unique marraige proposal and you went above and beyond to help make it perfect. The little touches like the flower arrangments and having BOTH sets of musicians play our song, absolutely amazing. We will most definetly be back on board for a murder mystery with The Kansas Belle Dinner Train. Again, THANK YOU for a once in a lifetime night. –Chad Crispin

Miley Cyrus Gets Called 'Disgusting' By Institute — Are They Being Too Harsh?
Miley Cyrus was named our role model of the year in 2011, but the Culture and Media Institute says she's detrimental to young girls. Don't you think she's just trying to have fun?
We have to admit we were a little surprised to see Miley Cyrus posing with Liam Hemsworth's penis cake at his birthday party recently, but are her actions really damaging to the little girls who follow her? The Culture and Media Institute released a story yesterday condemning the 19-year-old former Disney starlet and her wild behavior.
"Actress and singer Miley Cyrus, who famously played the wholesome Hannah Montana, has become the epitome of the anti-role model for young girls," the story says.
After listing her less than positive moments (read: admitting to being a stoner, etc.), the piece claims Miley promotes sex and bad behavior, which is a hindrance to society.
"Movies like Bachelorette and disgusting behavior like Cyrus' may be part of the 'real world' of Hollywood, where casual sex is celebrated and frequent divorce is almost a rite of passage. But it is not the real world, because in the real world, sleazy behavior has consequences," the story ends.
Sure, Miley is a little wild sometimes, but she is also positive in a lot of ways too. She's one of the most charitable young celebrities in Hollywood.
Do YOU think Miley is a bad role model?

The Consumer Electronics Show and the Adult Entertainment Expo are running concurrently in Las Vegas. The technology folk are in the main Convention Center, the early adopters are in the Sands Convention Center a mile or so away.
CES is a remarkable experience, an assault on the senses in its own right magnified by the sheer 'ubergauche' of Vegas itself. There's lots there but it seems like the new new thing is 3D and the assumption is that Avatar has acted as the launch pad to take home theater and gaming into an extra dimension. Personally the 3D experience makes me nauseous and I am also quite fond of multi-tasking (nachos, beer, salsa, Blackberry etc) while watching TV and that's tough when wearing the required eye glasses.
Outside of 3D my sense was that everything else was notable largely for being either smaller, thinner or bigger than that which preceded it. All in all there's not a whole lot of difference between the shows other than pocket protectors at CES and some other protection down the street, it's also not hard to predict where 3D will penetrate first.

Framed Maori hei matau, fishhook carving. Contemporary Maori art.
Te matau a Maui - the fishhook of Maui
Contemporary Maori art, Maori design, crafted from plantation grown gaboon using laser technology. This piece of art boasts super fine detail, paua inlay and is mounted on an earth toned background inside a custom glass covered shadow box frame. Each piece is individually signed by our Maori artist Mike Carlton and comes complete with wall mount and related story to back.
On one such adventure Maui stowed away in the waka (Maori canoe) when his four older brothers departed on a fishing expedition. When they were far from land, Maui revealed himself and convinced his brothers to paddle further out to the deepest sea where the fish would be in abundance.
With his enchanted fish hook which he had fashioned from the jawbone of his great grandmother, with its paua (abalone) shell eyes to see in the depths of the sea and a tuft of dog hair to keep the hook warm in the freezing depths and to retain the scent of the bait (blood from his nose) Maui cast his fishing line.
As soon as his hook descended to the ocean floor it was devoured by a giant fish. The ocean foamed and boiled as Maui struggled with all his strength to land the fish. Finally the fish yielded and floated to the surface.
Te Ika-a-Maui (the fish of Maui), more commonly known as the North Island of Aotearoa (New Zealand) had arisen in the South Pacific Ocean. Te Waka a Maui (the canoe of Maui) is known as the South Island and Stewart Island is Te Punga a Maui (Maui's anchor).

He is the author of three novels, "John Doe No. 2 and the Dreamland Motel" (2010), which earned ForeWord Reviews' Bronze Award for Literary Fiction; "The Restaurant at the End of the World" (2012), which earned a Gold Medal from the Independent Publisher Book Awards for Best Regional Fiction; and "Playing the Angel," which will be soon forthcoming. Womack also is the author or editor of numerous works of nonfiction, including "Long and Winding Roads: The Evolving Artistry of the Beatles" (2007) and "The Cambridge Companion to the Beatles" (2009), which was named as The Independent's "Music Book of the Year." His latest Beatles-oriented work, "The Beatles Encyclopedia: Everything Fab Four" will be released in February 2014 in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the group's legendary appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show."
Womack's presentation traces the band's emerging songwriting practices, recording artistry, and musicianship from their early, primitive recordings through the aesthetic heights of "Abbey Road." He illustrates the group's artistic growth through a wide range of musical and filmic illustrations.
