Girls in LBD's
What did Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's wear at the opening scene of said movie? This garment was designed by Hubert de Givenchy and accessorized with pearls. It is the Little Black Dress of course.

Wallis Warfield Simpson, Duchess of Windsor, was also known to own several and said much in praise of the dress declaring, "When a little black dress is right, there is nothing else to wear in its place." Even the French folk icon, Edith Piaf, consistently performed in a black sheath dress throughout her career and was nicknamed "little black sparrow" for doing so. It was acknowledged that the dress made the audiences focus more on Piaf's singing and less on her appearance.

The Little Black Dress, an evening or cocktail dress, cut simply and often with a short skirt, was originally made popular in the 1920s by the fashion designer Coco Chanel when she published a picture of a short, simple black dress in Vogue. It was calf-length, straight, and decorated only by a few diagonal lines. Vogue called it "Chanel's Ford." It was intended by Chanel to be long lasting, versatile, affordable, and accessible to the widest market possible and in a neutral color. Its continued ubiquity is such that many refer to it by the abbreviation LBD.

The Little Black Dress is considered essential to a complete wardrobe by many women and fashion observers: "rule of fashion" now is that every woman should own a simple, elegant black dress that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. A staple of the wardrobe for years, the style of the little black dress, ideally, is as simple as possible: a short black dress that is too clearly part of a trend would not qualify because it would soon appear dated.

Appearing fashionably dated, one summer more, was your style jotter. Thus, when Marco Protacio, Waterfront Hotel's style savvy General Manager, hosted impromptu dinner to celebrate friendship, I did not hesitate to call on my favorite girl friends for a night of gustatory fun and stylish, light chatter.

What better way to show you love your pet on Valentines Day, than to outfit them with L.E.D. accessories that will help keep them safe from harm.
I live in a condo, which makes walking my dog on a leash mandatory, since I don't have the use of a backyard. And I have to admit that by the end of the day when it's gotten cold and dark outside, my enthusiasm for taking that last walk of the day has definitely diminished.
So if you're like me and need something to jump start your enthusiasm for walking your pet after dark, check out these cool L.E.D. pet accessories that are not only great looking, but they'll also add an extra layer of safety for both you and your pet.
What I like most about this thick ply nylon L.E.D. lighted dog leash is that it's design is sleek and relatively simple. It's available in at least 4 different colors with contrasting lights (red, blue, black and green) and it has 3 different light mode settings that you can adjust for added visibility up to 1000 feet away and it's been buckle tested for 100+ pounds of pull. It comes with an automatic 30 day warranty and batteries are included.

And if you want to add even more visibility to your walk, you can order this L.E.D. lighted dog collar that has 3 light settings that can be set to blink at a steady, fast or slow pace.
Image: amazon.com
Or you might chose to do something as simple as adding a clip-on safety light to your dog's collar. This one is water resistant and attaches to their collar with a secure stainless steel spring clip. It's available in red, white, green or blue LED and lights up in two modes – either glow or flash and comes complete with long life replaceable batteries.

Have you noticed your obedient plant rebelling into a doughnut shape with an empty hole in the middle? Has 'Rozanne' lost her vigor, with less and less flair each year? Are your spring tulips a carpet of green instead of red? Or maybe your friends are dying for a piece of your lungwort? While most flower gardens start out lush and colorful early in the season, late summer and fall often yield a less desirable look. Don't be afraid to chop on your plants, you won't hurt them. A little deadheading and dividing can go a long way in the perennial garden.>> read "Lazy Daisies & Tired Tulips" #Bulbs #Perennials #Propagation #Pruning
The lily is the queen of the garden, hands down. The intoxicating fragrance of a 'Casa Blanca' lily on a warm summer's eve drifts across the garden enticing you to linger. The fragrant 'Star Gazer' is one of the most popular lilies in flower arrangements. The tiger lily is a friendly reminder that not all lilies are proper cultivated ladies – this is the wild child in the group. The ubiquitous Easter lily graces many homes in the spring and other lilies stand in the garden towering over everything else there. The term "gilding the lily" means trying to make something more beautiful than a lily, which I believe is impossible.>> read "Love Those Lilies" #Bulbs #Flowers #Perennials

Coding in a Post-PC World, Part 4
This is the fourth and final installment on writing code for a post-PC way of life. Part 1 covered the hardware. Part 2 covered the software. Part 3 covered the cloud. When all these aspects come together, they work harmoniously. But baby, we still have a long way to go before developers will leave behind their laptops en masse and opt for this early glimpse of what the future holds for those who love to code.
Missing Hardware
Besides the aforementioned keyboard from Part 1, an external pointing device of some kind (i.e., a mouse) would also be really helpful at times. Just as stylus makers have addressed the graphic artist needs for Android tablets and iPads, so too does a Bluetooth mouse have a home for the coding professional who needs to rapidly access areas of the display with a high degree of accuracy. We may never see a mouse for the iPad, but Android's recent addition of USB device support in the 3.1 "Honeycomb" release will make this a reality for those tablets featuring the OS and the USB ports to accept them.
Another developer need is support for multiple displays. Preferably this should be an entirely wireless experience. A tablet should be able to sense another shared display-compatible device nearby and pair with it, whether that be a dedicated monitor or even another tablet. This would provide a seamless multi-monitor environment that "just works". In a way, this feature is already available on the iPad via Airplay using an Apple TV device, but I suspect it won't be too long before we see iPad displays having the ability to share their output with future Apple displays with just the flick of a finger. It could operate like Mission Control does on OS X today, and pair with two or more external Airplay-compliant monitors and partition the screens out accordingly.
I would also like to see some sort of biometric security as an option on future tablets to better ensure the data security of the tablet. Source code is gold, and the current keyboard and screen drawing security approaches only go so far.
Missing Software
Compiling applications locally on a tablet isn't going to happen any time soon. Android does have its scripting language engines for Ruby (Ruboto = Ruby on Android) and everything else (SL4A = Scripting Layer for Android), and while these do a nice job running services and local applications with HTML+JavaScripted front-ends, you won't be compiling native Android apps on an Android device any time soon. Apple has made application development, even scripting language-driven programming on the iPad, even more restrictive. Applications like techBASIC (look for a review of this product in the future) take Apple's on-board programming constraints as far as they can be extended on the platform. That's not saying much.
I also miss the fact that no Git clients yet exist for either the Android or iOS platform. This is likely due to the substantial Perl dependencies that Git relies upon, but considering the number of Subversion clients available for both platforms, there's obviously a market for on-board version control. In the meantime, I'll continue to SSH into a cloud-hosted VM, but it would be nice to edit code offline once in awhile.
I also look forward to the day when Parallels or VMware release a product that can host a full-blown instance of a Windows or Linux VM on an Android or iPad tablet. The engineering required to make this work is far from trivial and we will need several more iterations in mobile hardware to support such solutions, but it's not outside the realm of possibility. VMware has already has its VMware View product on the iPad, and while this is essentially a remote desktop program, it shows that virtualization companies are thinking about the possibilities of future on-board VMs.
The Dream Scenario
Here is how I would like to work on my coding projects using my tablet a few years from now. While riding on the bus or train during my morning commute, I can quickly scroll through code, making comments and adding TODOs that are automatically sync'd back to the Git-managed source tree with no explicit commits necessary. Like iCloud and Dropbox, it just works and I don't have to worry about additional steps to make it so.
Arriving at my desk, my wireless display monitors are smart enough to sense the tablet is within a couple meters range and asks if I'd like to link them to the tablet's display. Doing so gives me three display surfaces, each optimized, showing the applications exactly where I want them. My automatically paired Bluetooth mouse and keyboard make me just as productive on the tablet as I would be on a traditional high-powered workstation, with the added bonus of touch when I need faster pinch-gesture precision. The hosted virtual machines I have running on the tablet sync their states to the faster server farm backend so I can use those when connected to the LAN, leaving more on-board resources on the tablet for my daily development needs. By then, I will be developing tablet applications on the tablet itself, and test them in their own dedicated on-board VM containers. This will greatly accelerate tablet application development cycles because I won't have to deal with simulators that do not easily account for actual hardware like accelerometers, GPS radios, and multi-touch gestures that are best tested on the deployment device itself. What is your dream tablet scenario?
Even with these limitations, I am still a big fan of writing code from a tablet. Laptops can't beat the battery life a tablet provides, nor can laptops compete with tablets on size and weight comparisons. And while desktops and laptops pack more processing firepower, both Android and iOS devices have optimized user experiences that run applications that load quicker and are more responsive and intuitive than their PC counterparts. Yes, there are a number of areas that need polish and several large, though not insurmountable, hurdles that need to be overtaken, but like it or not, tablets will offer developers a significant environment where both will participate substantially in application lifecycle management.
What are some of the pieces of the post-PC you think need to be developed before programmers more widely adopt tablets as their primary code writing platform? Post a comment or send me an email and let's keep this conversation going!

MIAMI, FL (AP)-- Authorities say an outdoor deck behind a popular Miami-area sports bar has collapsed during the NBA Finals, sending dozens of patrons into the shallow waters of Biscayne Bay and critically injuring three people.
The Miami Herald reports that the accident occurred around 9:45 p.m. Thursday at Shucker's Bar & Grill as customers were watching the Miami Heat play the San Antonio Spurs.
WSVN-TV reports that 24 people were injured, three critically. There were as many as 100 people on the deck at the time. Customers fell into several feet of water from the deck of the sports bar, which is located in North Bay Village, north of Miami Beach.

General Principles
We believe that several interrelated aspects enhance the education of young geoscientists. They should receive a solid foundation in basic geological science, but also be enriched beyond that foundation in a flexible curriculum tuned to the current state of the geoscience profession. Their training should involve classroom theory and fact, but they should also have "hands-on" experiences in the laboratory and the field so that they develop the ability to accomplish successfully the types of projects characteristic of the profession.
With more and more independent experience in solving problems of Earth's nature and history, students can develop sound professional judgment and personal self-confidence. They demonstrate that judgment and confidence in completing independent research projects and in communicating, clearly and effectively, both orally and in writing, the results of that research.
Faculty and Staff
All members of the department faculty are active in their research specialties and publish in important journals and books, yet all are committed to undergraduate education. This experience enables us to plan and supervise student research, to obtain funding to carry out some of that research, and to help students carry this research to the stage where it is presented at professional geological meetings and, at times, in joint publications with faculty. With no graduate students, all courses are fully taught by faculty, with behind the scenes assistance from Brad Jordan, our Director of Laboratories.
Department Record
In the fifty year history of the department, approximately two-thirds of our majors have gone on to graduate school to receive a Masters or a Ph.D. degree. It is not uncommon in the last few years for students to go on after graduation to jobs in environmental geoscience before deciding to enter graduate school. We keep in close touch with our geology alumni through our department newsletter, asking for and receiving suggestions on our educational program.
The Geology Department has graduated over 200 majors, who are
taking many different career paths, as seen in the chart above.
Regional Setting
Our location in central Pennsylvania might be our most important educational asset. Geology students and research scientists from around the world come to this area to study the record of development of the Appalachian Mountain System and the pattern of genesis of the classic Valley and Ridge landscape. This relatively unspoiled part of the country provides unparalleled opportunities for environmental geological studies; an example of this is Montandon Wetland, less than a mile from campus across the Susquehanna River. We take advantage of such superb opportunities for field investigations at all levels in our educational program. Introductory courses and courses for majors have many field trips; individual and group field-based projects are incorporated into most of our courses; and many student independent research opportunities exist within an hour of campus. An important byproduct of involving our majors in all these field experiences is that they form close personal relationships and develop a sense of community.
Related Programs
The geology program at Bucknell is strengthened by the numerous forms of interaction with faculty and students from other departments and programs. Our students have an advantage over many other undergraduate institutions in being able to take Civil Engineering courses such as environmental engineering, environmental geotechnology, and hazardous waste management. Two of the four majors in geology form the component parts of the Environmental Studies Program. Students also elect courses in biology, including population and community biology and conservation biology. Courses related to the environment are available in many departments; these include: Economics 222 - Environmental Economics; Geography 208 - Resource Management; Management 317 - Crisis Management; Religion 226 - Environmental Ethics; and Philosophy 218 - Ecology, Nature, and the Future.
Another resource recently added to our community is the Bucknell University Environmental Center (BUEC). The center supports faculty, staff and students dedicated to environmental and nature-related service at many levels through a variety of programs, projects, workshops and seminars. The solar panel array shown below is a result of the Center's participation in the Solar Scholars Program. This particular array provides energy to a student housing unit. Bucknell's main campus can be seen in the background.

Years that End in "3"
It's now the middle of 2013 and I have barely blogged this year. This is one of the posts I've put off for months now, particularly since Buber Dog died and took the wind out of my sails. You see, the types of +20, +15+, and +10 posts that I have been writing since about 2009 are rather involved. But since 20 years on is a convenient time to have a glance back and measure the distance travelled, those coming of age years are starting in kind of fast and furious. I didn't plan to keep it going but it's sort of in my nature and things don't feel complete if I don't honor the urge.
Very practically speaking, I am also in circles trying to figure out what I want to do with blog platforms, either to move to Squarespace's new platform (a year old and getting better, but would be a LOT of work to make this site sing there) or to just get out of Squarespace altogether, and back to Wordpress. That would be a pain in the ass too. And then there is just staying here and bearing the frustration of how to present my posts to an audience I doubt even exists anymore. I digress.
The years that end in the number three have traditionally been transitional years. Of late, now that I have some language for it, I call them my death years. I was sort of dreading what might be in store for me in 2013, ascending to my 40th birthday in October. Entertaining writing such a sprawling post kind of depressed me if I were to write it before this May when I got the call from my new job, and a favorable interview, and then the position in June. But prior to that I was depressed out of my mind again. The Escondido move is something that is slow in reconciling though it's showing its benefits. The death of Buber Dog stressed both of us out, and in many ways we're grieving his loss and might be for a while still. So far, up till early May, 2013 was looking like it fit a pattern of those damned years ending in "3."
The summertime in those years seems to be particularly rich in some big changes. The summers fall in my "9" years, just on the eve of the decade years that bring something new eventually. But at the time, there can be a lot of uncertainty and confusion. Only in the space between 29 and 39 did I finally start to understand things in the language of spirituality, particularly Christian spirituality, in a way where these stark times could be seen not as the stuff of endings but as transformative experiences on the way to new beginnings. So this time around, even though there was some real downer time that could be said to be as bad as the times before, I could remain attentive and remember to wait for what comes next.
Lest you think I am just making this up, imagining a pattern, here is what I have in mind. Things come remarkably on time in these years.
Nineteen seventy-three, the year of my birth, was both the ending and the beginning rolled into one trip from the womb into the cold world that probably could not give a rat's ass if I were to show up or not. Some people interpret the Exile from the Garden in Genesis to be symbolic of birth itself, separation from the only is-ness we ever knew, into the harsh world outside. Of course, we're all bornsomehow. Without really knowing it then, or for a decade or two more, that day of October 12 was when I was issued my pack for life, loaded up with all manner of ill feelings, conflicts and outright hostilities, broken relations, and more. Of course this pack has been mine to open up, often at this blog, in public, where the light might hit it and rob it of its power. So chalk 1973 up as the primordial death experience. (Actually, if you knew how much my mom probably smoked then, she was sort of giving me the stuff of death in utero!)
A decade later, I was nearly unaware of who my mother was. There were faint ideas gleaned from extremely fragmentary tales about her. I think I knew I had siblings from her other family. For the longest time, the picture I had of her until I met her in 1986 was that she was tall, slender, with long blonde hair. If you knew what I knew about genetics then (nothing), you'd see my platinum blonde hair of my younger years and deduce that too! But in 1983 mom (Christina, aka Toni) basically did not exist. Eda did. Eda was my mom, for all intents and purposes. While I was aware she was not my own mom, she played the role willingly and with a good, compassionate heart that even my own mom is seemingly impossible to demonstrate toward me.
But life at Artesian Street was not as idyllic as my childhood stats might indicate. While my old man had a house that did provide a relatively good anchor to my existence, the fact is, the house has proven to be more important any anyone else who lives there with him. Eda, 22 years his senior, and having been married to a few men before, was growing apart from him as she found herself needing to develop her spirituality in her late 50s. For some time, she'd been in her own bedroom. I don't know how to indicate the distance that must have developed but I do recall arguments and being sent outside so they could hash it all out. And some time later, she told me of some threats of physical violence he had made that proved to be her last straw. She had to get out of there. Withsome sympathetic friends, and even the support of my grandmother, she left our house during this very week in 1983, thirty years ago now.
I wrote about Eda's comings and goings in a previous post.
The loss of Eda coincided with the fact that I had been expelled from my childhood school, Hawthorne, and had to find a new school. The search for a school during the first half of the summer (driving around town looking at magnet schools, chauffeured by my grandmother) was some of the last time spent with Eda during that era. Starting a new school made things more foreign than they needed to be. There was some of the usual harassment by other kids, especially once they found that my mom had just left, but I had a very understanding male teacher for the two years I went to Longfellow, and he helped deflect that.
The Longfellow experience introduced me to a wider demographic of kids than I'd have been among in my neighborhood school. It was a Spanish magnet program so there was a bit of an ethnic broadening to include Spanish speaking people (yes, Mexicans!) but also significantly more blacks than at Hawthorne. I suppose that has done me some good, though I was real lax with learning Spanish. I wish I had the presence of mind to know that would have done me good in the workplace 20-30 years later!)
The rebirth experience that moved me from the death experience of losing the only woman I'd called mom was one that took some years to piece together. Not to say it's complicated; I just didn't see it that way for a while. The autumn season around my birthday was when I was offered drum or guitar lessons. I opted for drums, having seen some young black kid come into the one room music store and do his lesson while I was at the store with grandmother Virginia. I suspect the lessons were something that were offered to help me get on with life after Eda left. Virginia drove me down there to the College area every couple weeks for a year and a half. Once she and my grandfather bought me my first drumset in early 1985, it wasn't too long before I lost interest. Then it took until 1989 before I found my own reasons to play.
Two major endings happened in 1993, one of which was just on time during the summer. (The first was the breakup with Melissa, detailed out in an utterly brilliant 10,000 word journal earlier this year.) The other major breakup was perhaps more meaningful to me since it was one of those "artistic differences" that get us brooding muso types into so much trouble.
I've written about Rhythmic Catharsis some but sort of left the task of describing the end period to ...well, probably this year. I guess it's safe to say that at the time, RC felt more vital than having a girlfriend. There certainly was more friction in the "lovers quarrels" with Matt Zuniga, and if things went well, more reward. The task of RC was to give me some goal and purpose in my life when there wasn't much else going on. The fact that Matt rebelled so thoroughly made me more determined to make something happen. The project that defined the summer of 1993 was trying to get prepared to play a live show, like at a real place, not just in our usual parking garages or maybe at my house. Under the best of conditions, Matt was a thorn in my side, but the idea of playing in public made him completely obstinate, and any attempt to actually tighten up our drum-and-vocal songs was usually met with outrageously out of place vocal noises and other bits that just showed he wasn't going to try. I had to re-read journals from the era to recall how intolerable I got at his being that difficult. I had the yelling fits when we were out at the garages. I smashed my home phone. The whole thing with Matt and I arose because we could not play drums at home, so we went to garages. But that was just a way to blow off steam at first, and evolved into trying to play songs even withour limited means. Bashing those out could be fun but it seemed time to try to develop it so it would be stage ready. It's no stranger than some punk acts.
Because RC was really my baby, he could do whatever he wanted and not really feel too bad. RC gave me pride in accomplishment. At a time when the girlfriend broke up with me and I opted out of attending Mesa College (beginning the inadvertent ten year break), RC was something to challenge me to do better. For Matt to piss all over it was devastating. After some weeks of thinking we'd go to the Sprit club (across the street from the second Subway job I had), Matt utterly flaked on me as I went to pick him up. I was livid upon furious upon pissed. I recall getting to his place in the evening and he was watching Beavis and Butthead with his roommate. He just backed out entirely (maybe this is my karma for the Melissa ASB ball thing earlier in the year). I drove down to the club anyway, set up my stuff on stage and asked for a vocal mic, which of course had not been the plan. Then I proceeded to make my way through the set the best I could. It sucked donkey balls in every way except for the fact I did it under the conditions that day. The audience was just the club staff and maybe Bill Francis, who a short while earlier had moved into the trailer at our house when he fell on hard times.
The show was not the big thing. I had words with Matt later in the week and that started us into about a five month silent spell that only broke in January of 1994. What ended up happening though was that the Spirit club let me come back and do the same thing another couple times! Not sure I did any better considering I had never really tried to drum and sing at once. It was hard enough to even suck at one or the other! But both at once? Yeah. It turns out that the third show I did that way, in mid September was the start of a new era in my musical life. I did my solo RC show and another group, New Electron Symphony (NES) had no drummer and was instead using tapes and otherwise just grooving hard on their instruments. We shared the stage for their set and I played on two raucous jams. That launched me into a several month period jamming with them in their space—a geographic and psychic shift that needed to happen after all the Matt drama. Since the others were older, I was made the student and learned something about musicality that I would never have arrived at in the completely reckless non-tonal setting of Rhythmic Catharsis. When I later took on some new projects and further musical work later on, NES proved to be a key experience, even as short as it was. It's fair to say that the sonic atmosphere of some of my stuff like Receiving andAural Sects owes itself very much to NES.
An odd thing happened in the period though. It was definitely one of those death periods. RC was dead and never really came back in the same way despite an eventual reunion with Matt. But while playing with NES I had a sinking feeling that I was done with music. Done. Done. Done. Not so, said Ian McGehee, the mastermind of the group. He promised me lots of experiences lay ahead. It was kind of a liminal period in those days, feeling dead in one way but the future also not having taken a real shape yet. Interestingly, during the early part of 1994, the feeling kept on. And even though I later took out a couple ads in the local rag, and found some new playing opportunities, it was still surreal how I felt done with music. Odder still was that I was buying more drum gear—new pedal, a few cymbals, and other stuff—even as it seemed I was ready to pack it in. And then I totally shocked myself when I bought new drums almost exactly one year to the day after RC split up, and just at the time when the band at the time, Slaves by Trade, was making bigger plans by cutting a demo. Then we broke up. But that's next year's story.
Now this is the part of this entry that I actually dread the most. Not because it's so painful or anything (though it was) but more that by 2003, the matters were more grave and nebulous and existential. It's a terribly hard year to unpack on a good day when I feel chatty. Since a lot of those things have been dissected in this blog since some of it was front page news (the blog started in 2002), there's no point in retelling it all now.
The year was spent as a 29 year old who was having a crisis of faith in life. Depression was the background noise but I had not really understood it as I later would once various teachers emerged to interpret those experiences for me in the light of the spiritual journey. By that point, the years of family strife, grief, stagnation in the work world, and frustration about not getting new music projects done all piled up on me. Throw in a bit of girl trouble as my ex called me out of nowhere and added to the general confusion. That year of 2003 happened in part because I realized sometime around the start of the year that I had grown separate from my inner life in recent years when I started to shut down in overwhelm after the deaths of two grandmothers, revelations of family misdeeds, and the restructuring of life at home (being ordered to have roommates now that grandmother was gone and the old man was able to throw a party as my new landlord). The matter of living at the house where I'd lived while grandmother Virginia was alive was something that frustrated my old man, who long had designs on that house. He didn't anticipate I'd live there. So he rearranged his plans to let me live there from 2001-2005 but acted out his frustration that I was there in a real passive aggressive way. He made two significant alterations to the house that were illegal (no permit and not even consulting code) and tasteless and not really needed. At the same time he ignored my requests for things that really needed to be done there. When I asserted that the quality of work needed to be better than what he was doing, he abandoned the project of a bathroom refinishing and let me do it myself. I had some fat and lazy roommates that trashed the place too, so as the year progressed, the reality was upon me that no one but me cared about that house. From landlord and tenants, the place was being sabotaged. I just lived—and thought I'd die there.
Musically, I was real frustrated. After almost a year of giving a good try at starting a band and providing space, instruments, and recording gear to the cause, the ever-changing cast of musicians that came by did not stick around. One guitarist, not really in the running for this band idea because he was too good, said that I had not really paid my dues and I wasn't ready to be some Frank Zappa or Mike Keneally or Ian Anderson. Even a decade later, the old Rhythmic Catharsis ghost visited me. Band leading was not my thing. I also had to face that all the year I bought and sold and traded in the wake of my grandmother's death was not really helping my creativity. The more elaborate two room studio arrangement made it next to impossible to do recording like I once did, but my heart was not in recording; it was in interacting with people, and that was crashing hard at times. (I had just enough glimpses of my ideas played by trios and a short lived quartet or two to be real excited.) It was a substitute for what I really wanted and needed. In July 2003 I packed my stuff up and left it in Hog Heaven Studio's original small room and tried to not enter the place. Certainly nothing got done.
During that death period of late July and August, I started watching movies with an intensity I'd never brought to that activity. For a long time, I'd barely watched movies. I had no real interest. I hated paying to go to theaters. I did not have a video rental card. Netflix was not even around. But something was calling me to watch movies like I was a madman. And these weren't just fluffy things to pass the time. No, I made a list of some dense and heavy shit to watch that maybe I'd heard about but never seen. Edgy, hard. Challenging. I needed an emotional jackhammering to crack into a place in me that needed to be let out to see the light of day again. I at least made some mental list and made my way through the following movies: The Deer Hunter; The Last Temptation of Christ; Threads; The Day After; Saving Private Ryan; Schindler's List; Apocalypse Now. And probably more. It was hot and humid that season and for the first time ever, I had a TV and VCR set up in my room with the sole purpose of hitting myself so hard so that I might feel again. Watching gripping war movies or nuclear disaster films and other dystopic stuff takes you to a place that you don't naturally want to go to. The single most effective film that left an impression on me was The Last Temptation of Christ. When it first came out in 1989, my church youth group was taken to see it as a field trip. That is, everyone but me. My conservative family crew knew only enough about it to deny me the chance to see it with the group, and with two pastor figures who would be able to place it in a larger context. So that was on my list. When I watched it in 2003, I cried buckets because it was the first glimpse I got of Jesus as a man who understood the kind of internal torment and confusion that I knew. I could only wonder how I'd have turned out if I had a clue about that when I was 16, if I'd seen the movie then.
By far the biggest death of these years that end in "3" was what followed all that movie watching and studio closure. In 2008, on the fifth anniversary of the date when I bought a bottle of sleeping pills with the intent to down a bunch of them but ended up chickening out and spending a week and a half in a residential transitional home, I wrote a very detailed blog which I'll direct you to now. Back in the present moment, having skimmed that blog, I'm a bit surprised at how complete it was, even as it happened before I got into later men's work via the Center for Action and Contemplation, Richard Rohr, etc. The tenth anniversary of that date is coming up in a few weeks. If ever there was a time of rebirth into new life, it was during that period. It wasn't that everything was rosy after Halcyon; it wasn't. But periods like that reshuffle the pack and I emerged with new understanding that fueled me for the next leg of the journey.
Seeing what a time it's been with those decades marked by 3's, this year was looking ominous. The fact it is also my 40th year also lent a bit of gravitas to it too for reasons that many already recognize from pop culture and its claims of 40 starting the over-the-hill era. Being the third year of my unemployed and sedentary life, I could certainly feel the shift in my physical being. Last year's departure from Jubilee Economics was not really as graceful as I'd envisioned. Looking for work and getting little or no response, or outright denied, certainly weighed on me. Losing Buber Dog really deflated me at just about the time I wanted to write about many things that might just end up as summaries in this post. Musically, things have generally been better than in years, since I am regularly playing cajon at the pub each week, and trying to write songs and collaborate with songwriters I meet in the San Diego Songwriters Meetup. Collectively, to some extent or another, those engagements have had me play most of my instruments (even appearing on fretless bass), making me thankful I did not do as I thought I'd do in 2003: sell all my stuff and get out of music.
The doom was on the horizon earlier on before I got my new job. Financially, over the years, Kelli and I have sort of been hanging by a thread as the prevailing trend has been for one of us to be working while the other is in a period of unemployment or school or something. Hardly in the 11.5 years we've been together has there been a time when both of us had jobs at the same time. The previous period that actually sustained us was in 2004-2005 when we both worked at senior centers, but were also living cheaper before the old man evicted us in mid 2005. All the time since, we've had a jumbled time of financial rises and falls with income from a mix of jobs, unemployment insurance, grants, stipends, found work, gear sales. We've lived on miracles. The new thing this time around is that she's been the full time, professionally credentialed earner and I've been unemployed. Last year's loss of my unemployment checks caused us a lot of rough times around rent time when she expected me to draw down savings and I thought it better to spend from income. In the end we did a mix of both, but I did hold off on spending savings on rent. The whole matter was real hard to cope with since there was no way to know when I could get a job. The search this time was real challenging since it drew on for so long and I was so hopeful that the time with Jubilee Economics would help me establish myself as capable in the Web field. I put out applications to places I hated myself for visiting. This time more than others, I was trying to apply to places where I felt I'd not sell myself out so grossly. A few things were food delivery jobs that threatened to take over life as I knew it. A few were name brand mega corporations that we love to hate. But the baffling ones were Costco, and some of the grocery stores that I thought would be a good fit: Trader Joe's, Sprouts, Jimbo's...all seeming the right size, close to home (all within a couple blocks of each other too), and dealing in food, which my resume tilts toward more and more now.
Life got to feeling pretty pointless again with all that and with the fact that Kelli is pretty busy in her work and volunteer (national church level) life. Kelli and I paid a couple visits to a therapist and it was evident we'd need to keep going to address a host of things that have taken shape since we last went to a therapist in 2005 or so. A few months back I had tried to get a bit of solo therapy but realized that I'd be paying a lot of money just to tell the old stories again, and to not really be understood when I spoke of things that mean something to me, like how I choose to use a car or bike, or how to spend money or how I want to not have kids, etc.. The therapists have not one bit of control over the life I need to lead outside, and can't really make the real troublesome stuff go away (fixing families that don't think they're broken, global matters, etc.). What they'd tell me is to make better decisions: keep associated with good people and don't isolate, get exercise, eat better. The thing is, it helps if you have some money to do some things. Or the mental discipline to get into routines that are beneficial. I'm sure all that helps, but what had worked for me before during the Specialty Produce era was that I had a physically demanding job, biked to and from work, was in my church community as participant and leader, and ate better. But take away the job (for whatever reason) and the commute is gone, the better food is neither a work benefit (free produce) or something that is so easily afforded at the stores, and of course, the days are not filled with activity. Furthermore, moving to Escondido is still a thing that strains relationships with my life in San Diego. I barely get to church anymore and the distance and gas is a turn off to participating in non-worship activities unless I happen to have other reasons to be there. But gone are the days when it's a 15 minute bike ride for a meeting or a bible study. As an unemployed person, I had time but no money. Now I have money but the timing is awkward enough (I start work at 6 so the bedtime needs to be around 10) when factoring in the drive. And I still have not decided the round trip drive is something I want to do as often as something interesting comes up.
The Worst Laid Schemes of Mice and Men Often Go Awry
To be frank, this year was feeling mighty much like those earlier years. About all that saved me was the knowledge that those things were survived and something else lurked around whatever corner they turned out to be. Still, feeling as dreadful I did and feeling filled with futility as I was earlier in the spring is nothing enjoyable. Feeling cut off from people, even at home, is agonizing. Having become dependent on someone at the age of 38-39 is disheartening but can happen. Witnessing Buber's somewhat quick decline and seeing him transition into a lifeless husk of the beloved animal we knew was a totally new thing for me. I was real low this winter and spring. I just wanted out again.
One of the great things I've learned from the various teachers along the way in the last several years was that suicidal ideation is normal. Acting on it, not so. The soul does get weary and longs for a way out, for the drastic shift from this to that, from here to there. That much is unstoppable. But of course physical death isn't the answer that we're really looking for. That is more of a conditioned expectation that if we can't live life one way, then we must die. The spiritual traditions hedge against that by reminding us that the matter of change is something we must always cope with. Nothing dies without something being created anew. And nothing is created anew without something having died. It's not just spiritual fluff; it happens to the very matter of the Universe. The stars are born and ultimately die and are turned into something else. Having best learned from Christianity, this is the stuff of the death and resurrection. Neither can happen without the other. Something in my life has to die so something can be reborn. And then again. And again. The pattern is true as anything. But as you see from this glance back at some previous years, the lessons are slow to be learned.
In the month of May, I was able to do a number of days' work with a bandleader who has been working in town for a few decades. Funny, I had never met him even though some familiar faces have worked in his band over the years. He got me on some load ins and load outs, a couple operator gigs, and a little bit troubleshooting a church sound system. He paid me pretty well, but after months and months of no real income except for delivering jam, it was a princely sum! The fact most of that work was physical was handy since it helped prepare me for what was next.
It just so happened that after having sent in a third or fourth resume to the company I am now with, I got a call again like I had when I first got to Escondido in May 2012. This time I interviewed over the phone was a bit like the last time except there was a new position that seemed a better fit for me. Instead of moving beer, there was a kitchen commissary position that would let me deliver to the two restaurants that were being launched this summer. This was the beginning of seeing things anew once again. I was kind of incredulous at the prospect. My negative thoughts flooded in. But then I thought, Shit! I've been looking for almost two and a half years now and have sent my stuff in a few times to this place. Something can happen. I got an interview and prior to that, from emailed messages, found some info to do some research on LinkedIn. Found that the HR director used to work at a place I delivered to, as well as the kitchen manager, who also used to work at a kitchen I delivered to! When I got my interview, that small bit of info helped melt the ice early on. Even though I hate interviews and feel stuffy as fuck in that kind of clothing, it went well. My prospective manager recognized me from when I delivered to his old company. He asked me if I biked there. For him to say that was a trick of memory! I'd not talked to him since no later than the first week in January 2011, but he remembered I used to talk about biking and commuting. (Then later on he told me he hated his old company and had been stiffed for a couple tens of thousands of dollars.) The job offer came a couple weeks later when they decided to actually raise the wage based on my experience at Specialty. Nice. I could start in early June once the drug check and physical was done. And I did. Now it's about seven weeks I've been there.
So that was a rather big change from my earlier, worst laid plans to be depressed and shut down. Funny, I don't typically associate my full time work experiences with much positive, but it seems that the long gestation period between jobs (or even since wrapping up activity with Jubilee Economics) was helping me find a far better fit of a job. Finding that I'd already met the kitchen manager was a good start. I know from LinkedIn evidence he looked at my resume there a few times before I got the offer. And since. He just took me into his office the other day and said he wants me to be the lead driver there who sets the standard for two other guys and tends to driving/delivery related concerns. He said he'd back me up and get me whatever I need to do the job right. And get this... this is where it gets so amazing.
All the hang wringing about getting a job was agonizing until this one started to flow my way. Since September last year I have delivered jam for a tiny family operated business that is gaining currency in the area with their delicious homestyle jams. My work was to deliver the product to Whole Foods Markets in the greater LA area using their van. I'd go down to San Diego the day before to get the loaded van, then park at my house and leave at 4 am. I did a whirlwind trip up to Orange county once a month, and a two day trip to cover a number of more northerly destinations once a month. I did just three days' work for $375 cash and if nothing else, that was all I got for a wage that month. (They did have me do some other web work but much of that period was lean.) When I got to dancing with the new company, looking forward to a full time spot, I knew I'd need to jam on the jam. They recruited Tom, who they knew from their farmers market activity where he was selling cheeses in another stall. He rode along with me for a day after I was in negotiations and after my interview. Just as we got back to my house, I got a call that I'd be sent an offer letter. And so it was that my jam delivery days were done and Tom was in. Once I started, I was able to find that a second position was still open to do a part time version of what I'd be doing. The part timer would be the weekend relief for me (delivering to two spots in San Diego) and the other guy who does the local work. I texted Tom and said he should apply since he told me he'd been looking for something real for a year and more. I also mentioned to manager Larry and buyer Eric and one of the HR ladies that he was looking and would send in a resume. It took a month or so to get things together but he's actually starting tomorrow and I get to train him. Again! (I think the folks back at the jam company were a little puzzled when they heard from the same recruiter asking about the guy they just brought on a few weeks before!)
This puts me in the really odd place of saying that one never really knows the trajectory of life and death and life again. Is there anything in my past that would suggest that I had what it took to get not one but two jobs at the same company in the space of a couple months? I'm laughing as I even write that!
Somehow, a bit of mercy landed upon me this summer. Given my tendencies, I could be rehashing all the old stuff at great length on this blog. Could be absorbed in what a bummer year this year needs to be to complete some pattern that exists only in my mind. Could have endless unemployed time to do all that. But no. It seems that won't be how this year, and especially this summer, plays out. Just when it looked like a death was on the horizon, a resurrection appears.

Academic Law Centers
There's no substitute for being on the front lines, showing that you can do the work.
The faculty of the law centers at New England Law | Boston engineer critical real law, real life connections. Professors, researchers, and students come together through the legal centers to focus their study on the disciplines that most engage them and direct their work toward the issues in which they most want to invest.
The experience can greatly benefit the trajectory of a student's legal career. Center faculty teach courses that lay the foundation for collaborative research and outreach projects, and our law school centers address emerging needs across a broad spectrum of concerns.
Criminal justice reform, environmental advocacy, domestic violence, international human rights, war crimes, universal jurisdiction, corporate governance, e-commerce, and intellectual property protection are just a few of the areas in which New England Law students, professors, and alumni have moved beyond the walls of the classroom to make an impact on the real world.

Churchill Falls
Churchill Falls, spectacular waterfalls of the upper Churchill River, 245 ft (75 m) high, SW Labrador, N.L., Canada; known as Grand Falls until renamed (1965) in honor of Sir Winston Churchill. The falls were first explored (1839) by John McLean, a trader of the Hudson Bay Company. Four miles (6.4 km) above the falls, the Churchill River narrows to 200 ft (61 m) and negotiates a series of rapids before dropping into McLean Canyon, from which sheer cliffs rise several hundred feet on either side. The river flows 12 mi (19 km) through the canyon over a series of rapids. The total drop from the rapids above the main falls to the end of McLean Canyon is 1,038 ft (316 m). Because of their isolated location and harsh surroundings, the falls never became a tourist attraction. Churchill Falls has one of the largest hydroelectricity-generating capacities (5,225,000 kW) in the world. It was completed in 1974 and most of the power is sent to the Montreal vicinity.

Training of pronunciation skills is performed with courses. A course is associated with a specific language, consists of different units and each unit is given by a sequence of phrases in different lengths. To ease the further explanation we defined a list of specific notions:
The following life cycles explain how courses and the contained phrases shall be created and updated.
There are two cycles for phrases. The simple one appears, when creating a course without a skeleton file. Then, a phrase gets created and possible is updated.
The case when working with skeleton files is quite different. Here, the phrases are created (in English) in the skeleton file and then imported, translated and recorded for the course. Yet, when updating a phrase in the skeleton, possibly the phrases in the course file may also need updates. To approach this, we have the following update cycle for phrases:

In addition to the 10 Classics for 2014 challenge I wrote about yesterday, my other movie-related goal for the year is to make a dent in the number of unseen movies in my possession. Ever since I got a DVD recorder about three years ago, I've been recording movies and saving them for a rainy day. Between those hundreds of recordings and the DVDs I've purchased over the years I have a lot of movies saved up — so many that I have to have an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of them all.
Of the movies on the sheet I've only seen about half, so this year I'm hoping to watch at least a couple of new-to-me films every week, picked at random based simply on what I'm in the mood for. Not a lofty ambition, but a fun one.
Here's a quick rundown of what I've watched so far in 2014. No doubt my viewing will slow down as the year goes on, but I'm off to a strong start. Cold, wintry weather makes for good movie watching , after all! So far everything I've seen has been very enjoyable and worth recommending. None have been great classics, but all are quality movies that made for fun viewing.
Apartment for Peggy (1948) is a sweet, funny film starring Jeanne Crain, William Holden, and Edmund Gwenn. Crain and Holden are a young married couple. He's going to college on the GI Bill, and they can't find anyplace to live because of the post-war housing shortage. Gwenn is a retired, widowed philosophy professor whose son died in the war. He feels his life has no meaning anymore and plans to commit suicide, until Crain talks her way into renting his attic as an apartment for her and her husband. (And their cat, and the dog she brings home one day, and their soon-to-be-born baby…)
The young couple, especially the sweet but slightly kooky girl, upsets the old man's household and his plans to kill himself in lots of amusing and touching ways, giving him a reason to live as he grows to love them and to get interested in life again through all their ups and downs. A lovely little film. Edmund Gwenn (who played Kris Kringle in Miracle on 34th Street) is good at playing loveable old men.
I watched this movie on a Fox MOD DVD, and I have to say the quality of the picture and sound was atrocious! This movie deserves better treatment than it got from Fox. Warner Archive does a much better job at releasing films. Honestly, just watch it on YouTube rather than buying the DVD. The quality couldn't be any worse there than it was on the disc.
Orchestra Wives (1942) is one of the two movies in which the Glenn Miller Orchestra was featured, the other being Sun Valley Serenade, which I was very happy to finally be able to watch during my Christmas vacation thanks to TCM. The plot — starstruck, innocent girl marries trumpet player she just met and is drawn into life on the road with other orchestra wives — is pretty simple, but the wives' cattiness is amusing in a The Women-lite kind of way. As with Sun Valley Serenade, however, the real point of the movie is Glenn Miller's music, which is simply wonderful.
First Love (1939) is a modern (well, 1939 modern) retelling of the Cinderella story, starring Deanna Durbin. This is the second Durbin movie I've seen (the other was 1941's It Started With Eve) and I've enjoyed them both. Durbin's musical style is probably hard for people today to appreciate, I don't know, but I think she's lovely. Her acting is so natural. She has great comic timing and can also break your heart. Plus her singing is gorgeous. This movie co-starred a very young Robert Stack in what I think was his first movie role.
I bought myself several Deanna Durbin movies with Christmas gift money after watching It Started With Eve on TCM, so I'm sure more of her stuff will be coming up for me in the weeks ahead. It's so fun discovering a new star to love!
Double Harness (1933) stars William Powell as a playboy who has no interest in either work or marriage, and Ann Harding as a woman who sees marriage as a business and sets out to catch him and make him into the successful man she believes he can be. I completely loved this one. It's a sophisticated look at relationships, and Powell and Harding have great chemistry. I'm starting to think Powell had great chemistry with all women, though!
Pre-Code movies never stop surprising me with how forthright they are about so many things. They're still tame by today's standards, of course, but compared to movies from the years after the Code began being strictly enforced they're shockingly open. For instance Powell and Harding start sleeping together after just a few dates, and there are no punches pulled about this fact. Nothing like that would've happened in a movie just a few years later.
Vivacious Lady (1938) had been on my to-watch list for ages, and I don't know why I waited so long to see it because it's really good. Jimmy Stewart plays a quiet, reserved botany professor from a small college town who falls in love at first sight with a spunky nightclub performer, played by Ginger Rogers. They marry after a whirlwind one-day courtship, then head to his hometown to introduce her to his stuffy father, the college president.
Once back home, Stewart can't seem to find the right moment or the necessary backbone to tell his father he's married to a blonde singer he met a few days before. Lots of silliness ensues.
Charles Coburn plays Stewart's father and Beulah Bondi plays his mother. Those two alone make pretty much anything worth watching, and they're as good as always in this.
In The Ex-Mrs. Bradford (1936), William Powell plays a medical doctor and Jean Arthur plays his murder mystery author ex-wife. They're still obviously in love in spite of being divorced, and when they get caught up in a real life murder when a jockey falls off his horse and dies under mysterious circumstances, there's lots of mystery and even more witty banter.
This movie struck me as a wannabe Thin Man film. It isn't on a par with that series, but it's still lots of fun. Jean Arthur is one of my favorite actresses, and of course William Powell is always perfect. The wry wit combined with silliness, the jaunty walk, the mustache, the dimples…sigh. I'm feeling very smitten with him lately, the way my girlfriends are feeling about their Cumberbatches or whoever. Granted, my crush was born 122 years ago this year, but that doesn't make my love any less real. 😉

Wide receivers Jacoby Ford and Denarius Moore worked out with a team trainer Monday morning, once again seeing if they are far enough along in their rehab from foot injuries to return to practice this week and, perhaps, play against the Detroit Lions.
Ford ran with a nice burst, though he wasn't seen making any sharp cuts or planting on his injured foot. He said afterward that his foot is getting better but he still isn't sure if he is going to be able to practice with his teammates this week.
"There's just certain things out there that we just worked on today," Ford said. "We wanted to see how my straight ahead running was, just to see if I can actually do that and get up on my toes. That went pretty well today."
Ford has missed the past four games as a result of the injury he suffered against the San Diego Chargers on Nov. 10. Moore has missed the past three games with an injury he received against the Minnesota Vikings.
It's to the point where the Raiders need all hands on deck, given they are one game behind the Denver Broncos in the AFC West, with three games to play, and without much margin for error.
Still, Ford said, he won't play again until he is certain that his foot is sound enough to where he can make a difference at receiver and on kick returns.
"I wouldn't say I would want to rush back and not be able to be my regular Jacoby Ford out there on the field," Ford said. "I definitely want to be the same player I was before I got injured. I wouldn't want to go out there if I don't feel confident in myself to play to the best of my abilities and hurt the team instead of help the team."
Outside linebacker Kamerion Wimbley declined comment today, when approached for an interview.
In particular, I sought clarification on why the Raiders were penalized on Wimbley's fumble return for a touchdown — defensive end Lamarr Houston got called for clipping during the return — even though the return was overturned when the officials ruled that Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers' arm was moving forward when the ball came out of his right hand.
So, for that, we will turn to coach Hue Jackson, when he has his news conference at 2 p.m.
It seems odd that the penalty still applied, even though it occurred after the incompletion.
Wide receiver Chaz Schilens confirmed that he left the Packers game early on as a result of his aggravating the foot injury he suffered against the Miami Dolphins the previous game.
Schilens said his foot is "fine" and that he expects to play against the Lions.
"It's just a little sore, that's it," Schilens said. "It will be all right."
Raiders middle linebacker Rolando McClain spoke with the media Monday, despite saying last Thursday that he was "done" giving interviews for the rest of this season and the rest of his career.
Not sure if he changed his tune on his own accord or if the threat of a huge fine by the NFL — players are required to speak with the media — did the trick.
Either way, McClain spoke for more than five minutes on an array of topics. I shall post the entire transcript in a few minutes.
McClain was asked for comment about his role in an incident in Decatur, Ala., almost two weeks ago in which he was
arrested and charged with four misdemeanors, including third-degree assault.
A childhood friend of McClain's accused McClain of holding a gun to his head, threatening to kill him and then firing the gun next to his ear.
McClain's lawyer said his client is innocent. Coach Hue Jackson said he is confident, after speaking with McClain, that McClain isn't guilty of all that he is accused of doing.

BAGHDAD — A suicide bomber set off his explosives-laden belt on Tuesday in a mosque in busy commercial area in central Baghdad, killing at least 17 people, Iraqi officials said, as the country remains without a new government following last month's national elections.
The bomber entered the Shiite mosque in the Shorja market in downtown Baghdad as worshippers were heading inside to attend noon prayers, a police officer said. The explosion wounded 29 other people, he added.
Inside the mosque, furniture lay overturned, walls were pockmarked with shrapnel and the ground was littered with shattered glass. Outside the mosque, blast barriers were stained with blood.
Also in Baghdad, a bomb went off in an outdoor vegetable market in the eastern Shiite neighborhood of Sadr City, killing two civilians and wounding five others, police said. And two policemen were killed and six other people wounded when a bomb hit a police patrol in the southern Dora district, another police officer said.
Three medical official confirmed causality figures. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to release information.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks, but they bore the hallmarks of the Iraqi branch of al-Qaida, known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The group frequently targets Shiites, who it considers heretics, and carries out coordinated bombings in an attempt to incite sectarian strife.
The attacks come as Iraq's Shiite-led government is struggling to contain a surge in sectarian violence unseen since the country was pushed to the brink of civil war in 2006 and 2007 after the U.S.-led invasion that toppled dictator Saddam Hussein. Last year violence killed 8,868 people, according to the U.N.
The attacks also come more than three weeks after Iraqis cast ballots in the country's first parliamentary election since the U.S. military withdrawal in 2011. Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's bloc emerged as the biggest winner, securing 92 seats in the 328-member parliament, but it failed to gain the majority needed to govern alone.

Small lies in social networks may keep society running
Guest post by Chris Riotta
Trust is often thought to be one of the most crucial building blocks to any relationship. But some lies may be good for society.
In simulations, small fibs — such as lying to avoid hurting someone's feelings — appeared to help to build communities and form connections among individuals in a social network. Larger lies — such as lying about stealing or cheating — can fragment those networks, making it harder for them to grow. The lies, whether big or small, can shape social networks and ultimately society as a whole, researchers argue July 23 in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

Anyway, now for the unveiling of the hero Loovee and I chose!
Drum roll please . . .
It's Gachapin!
Here's a closer shot.
I am sure I've spoken about Gachapin before, but in case you're unfamiliar with him, Gachapin the dinosaur is a very popular television character in Japan. Unfortunately, I was not lucky enough to grow up watching him in the children's show Hirake! Ponkiki! as I live in the USA. However, I fell in love with his adorable likeness during my trip to Japan and I have since watched many YouTube videos of him. Little did I know that behind that gentle, dopey demeanor lies such vibrant energy. I've seen videos where he rock climbs, break dances, jet skis, and even ice skates! I enjoy all of his playful antics and greatly admire how agile and athletic he is . . . and that is why Gachapin is my hero! Wow. That sounded like a grade school theme paper.
As for the costume, it didn't come out like my original sketch, which I ripped up in frustration so I'm afraid I can't share it with you. The dress I had in mind was completely different, but being that I was crunched for time, I decided to nix it and just use my old apron dress pattern. The helmet came out pretty dead on, so I am pleased with that bit. Although it's not exactly what I envisioned, I'm happy that I managed to whip up something at all before the looming deadline.
For my Arte du Blythe Fat Book project we had to create two different page designs with an animal theme. Fat books are chunky little books filled with collage art pages individually created by different artists. I had to make 28 pages total (14 of each design). I have never done a collage before so it was a very interesting endeavor.
This is my first page design. It feels rather busy to me and has no clear focus, so I'm not sure how I feel about it, really.
This is my second design. This one has a definite focus, but feels rather sparse. However, I was too afraid to touch it up for fear it would get too busy like the first design. What a dilemma, huh?
Well, I am hoping that I can move past this so-so crafting phase and find my zone with my upcoming project -- updating my Etsy shop. My shop has been woefully neglected and I plan to remedy that right away. I plan on making owls; amigurumi rabbits and cupcakes; and even Blythe clothes such as some apron dress/head kerchief sets and sundae hats.
Well, thank you again for dropping by. I'm off now to visit my fellow blogging pals and see what wonderful things they've been up to.
Come back soon!

Learning Index >> Ceramic Decoration: a selective guide to pots in the collection of the Crafts Study Centre
No 1: Bottle, 1966 (P.74.14)
This modest bottle is only 25 centimetres high. It is made of thrown stoneware and has been beaten to produce four flat facets. It is carefully glazed in two colours: a blackish tenmoku on the lower body, and a grey-white wood ash and feldspar (chun) on the upper parts, including the upstanding lip. This whitish glaze is semi-transparent and crazed all over. The visual focus of the piece is the join between dark and light glazes which is a soft but clearly defined line.
The bottle was made at Batterham's Durweston pottery in Dorset and was purchased from his first exhibition, held in Blandford in 1967. It represents an early phase in his work.

Actress Sophia Bush recently attended the Girls season 4 premiere in NYC in a pair of colorful, studded-PVC Christian Louboutin Bille Et Boule Pumps, which seem most appropriate for an event that celebrates a show and a cast with such a playful aesthetic. You can still find Sophia's pumps in select sizes.
As you can see, Sophia's pumps were perfectly paired with a color-matching dress from Lela Rose's Spring 2015 line. If you're wondering whether Sophia is guesting on season 4 of Girls, the answer is no, but you can currently catch her on NBC's sophomore series Chicago P.D., aChicago Fire spin-off which airs on Wednesdays at 10 pm/9 pm Central.

UCA vs CA boys basketball game decided in final quarter
by Richard Creaser
copyright the Chronicle 12-9-2012
NEWPORT — The balance of the game hung on every basket as the well-matched United Christian Academy Crusaders hosted the visiting Craftsbury Academy Chargers on Saturday afternoon. An unbroken run of 11 points in the final quarter of play helped propel the Crusaders to a 46-41 win over Craftsbury.
Throughout the game fans from both schools watched as their team battled back to take or retake the lead. The Crusaders came out strong in the first quarter after allowing Craftsbury to open the scoring. UCA responded with 14 straight points before the Chargers clawed back onto the scoreboard. At the end of the first, UCA took the lead 19-13.
The second quarter belonged solidly to the Chargers despite UCA recording eight of the first nine points in that quarter. Craftsbury would record the last 14 points to take a 28-27 point lead into the half.
Coming back from the break the third quarter boasted the least amount of scoring of the entire game. Both sides managed only nine total points between them with Craftsbury padding their lead to 34-30 entering the final frame of play.
That's when the Crusaders came to life and racked up their 11-point run including going 5 for 6 from the foul line. The Chargers battled back to within four points only to send the Crusaders back to the foul line time and again. Though the Crusaders would not enjoy quite the same degree of success as they had earlier, shooting only 3 for 9, those extra points helped round out the 46-41 victory.
Chris Delabruere paced the Crusaders with 18 points and closely followed by teammate Paul Saaman who recorded 17 points on the day. Ctaftsbury's Kyle Adams recorded 17 points followed by Alex Vetere who scored 11 points in the losing effort.

Anyone interested in working out does wish to have lean and flat abs fast. A six pack is a truly desirable physical attribute many are envious of. Working out to get great abs is not easy at all. The process of how to tone your abs can require quite a bit of time in the gym and a lot of discipline at the dinner table.
For those who might be having a hard time seeing improvements in their abs, there is no reason to get discouraged. Exercise research has contributed to the development of ab machines and ab belts. Thanks to these devices and accessories, the process of toning your stomach can become a little easier.
Accessories to Enhance Abdominal Workouts
If you are wondering about how to flatten your stomach, you may have also noticed there are quite a number of different machines and belts on the market. The variety of machines and belts is a good thing because the abs do have to be hit from various different angles in order to become perfectly toned. Working out with various different belts and machines can hit the body from these different angles increasing the potential for the desired outcome.
How Ab Machines and Ab Belts Work
A crunch machine can help provide greater stress on the core abdominal muscles. New home versions of the commercial gym crunch machines are basically modified chairs that can fit in a home. Performing a significant number of repetitions is necessary for crunches to have solid results. In time, the abdominal muscles can get used to crunches. In order to stimulate the muscles, a crunch machine can add greater stress to the muscles allowing the person working out to overcome a plateau. Certain ab machines can perform movements in a circular motions. This can hit the obliques while also burning fat. Burning fat, of course, cam lead to the newly developed abs becoming more visible.
How to tighten your stomach with an ab belt can also vary based on the specific belt purchased. Certain ab belts are designed strictly to help reduce water in the ab region. For a brief, short term solution of leaning out your belly, these are okay. For someone interested in getting rid of excess fat and building up the abdominal muscles, new, modernized electric ab belts are far preferable. Newer "vibrating" ab belts are made with EMS technology (electrical muscle stimulators). This type of electronic technology is designed to help stimulate the ab muscles when working out or, for that matter, taking part in certain daily tasks. The added benefit of having the abdominal muscles stimulated just might lead to previously elusive results being attained.
See our flex belt review here
Quality Equipment Is The Key
There are certainly quite a number of gimmick oriented machines and belts on the market. If you are wondering how to lose your stomach, you have to take the extra steps of performing consumer research into any product you are thinking of buying. After all, the best belts and machines might yield the best results.
Of course, no matter how you seek to tone your abs, you have to watch your diet. Good dieting will enhance the ability to tone your tummy immensely.
