As autonomic responses go, breathing places right up there with the best of them. You might be surprised to learn that breathing does have a bit of company in the autonomic nervous system however, which regulates heart rate, digestion, salivation, perspiration, pupillary dilation, micturition (pissing), sexual arousal (umm, you know that one) and swallowing.
That's like the Hall of Fame of being alive. And in a typical run or ride, we probably experience all those sensations at some point, especially if we're riding with someone who looks cute in their bike or run shorts.
Just breathe
However today we're here to talk to you about breathing, which is highly recommended among the autonomic options listed above. Granted, the Good Lord, along with some really small creatures that learned to like oxygen, determined long ago that breathing was a good thing.
But let's pause for a moment and think about the mechanics of breathing, so that we can appreciate exactly what it is going on when you take a breath.
Now, you can trust an organization such as the American Lung Association to explain it to you. Or you can simply trust me to tell you. And here goes.
Breathing with the experts
Here's your description of breathing according to the American Lung Association. "Your lungs are part of a group of organs and tissues that all work together to help you breathe. This system is called the respiratory system. The main job of the respiratory system is to move fresh air into and get waste gases out of the body."
Oh my gosh! That last bit suggests that your lungs help you fart! Well, I already covered that subject in yesterday's We Run and Ride, so we won't go any more deeply into that. So let's focus on the "move fresh air" part of breathing, so that we learn something more from this blog than how funny it is to fart in the presence of others. Which is better known as breathing through you butt. Which really is a talent.
What it's all about
Actually when you take a deep breath (as suggested in the title of this blog) all kinds of oxygen bits and nitrogen and all kind of other gasses that aren't worth mentioning are sucked into your lungs. If you're lucky the oxygen gets all jiggy with your lung tissues and is absorbed into the blood stream. From there it moves around your body carried by red blood cells that deliver oxygen to your muscles. That's just one of the important functions. Your brain needs oxygen to survive too. So do a whole lot of other bodily organs. In fact a person who is dying or even officially dead may continue to breathe well after the rest of the autonomic functions sort of shut down. So the instinct to breathe is pretty powerful. It is perhaps one of the most powerful instincts known to all living things.
Swimming and breathing
If you want to test this instinct for yourself, take up swimming. That's what I've done recently and let me share with you that the hardest thing about becoming a better swimmer is learning how to breathe. How can such a natural function become such a difficulty? Get in the pool and find out for yourself.
You learn the hard way how important it is to breathe when you don't do it well. Your brain goes into this weird zone where it thinks it is going down for the count. So your head bobs up and your butt drops in the water. Short of standing up in the pool, you could not be in a less conducive position to propel yourself through the water.
The panic really starts if you don't suck in some air. It's rather amazing how such a short moment in time can seem so damned long. So you stop and flail like a dolphin with a diaper full of fish crap and look around the pool to see if anyone else is watching you.
But if you concentrate by breathing out through the nose things improve a little bit. For one thing, the bubbles aren't so loud. Which to me is really an important part of the swimming experience. Otherwise the entire enterprise sounds as if you're immersed in some crazy kid's music video with insane orange and blue fishes boobling around your head while a highly repetitious bubble song plays in your head.
That's not a recommended training environment. So breathe through your nose goddamnit. I said that for my own benefit by the way.
Breathing rhythms
Once you get a breathing rhythm down you can actually swim a couple lengths of the pool. But if you get lazy and forget, the whole panic operation starts again and you can run out of oxygen in your lungs to the point where you entire body starts to sink into itself like an oblong black hole. Then you really do start to sink. See, a set of lungs full of oxygen helps you float. An empty set of lungs won't.
Out of the water
Of course all these same principles apply in activities such as running and riding. Back when I won races people asked me all the time what I did to breathe correctly. In truth I had this weird pattern. It went like this: hehhh hehhh hehhh heehhhh…heeh heeh heeh heeehhhh. So I gues that's a four count breathing system that covered about six strides. Seriously. That's how I breathed.
It worked. Except when a side stitch came along. Then the breathing sounded like this: Heeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shit.
And I slowed to a stop, grabbed my side and tried to relax the diaphragm.
Not that diaphragm, silly boy or girl. Although I will admit that I once dated a woman who used one of those other diaphragms and it was a little like making love in a Volkswagen Beetle. You kept hitting your head on the roof, shall we say.
Diaphragm diagrams
The diaphragm that regulates your breathing is both strong and delicate. If something comes along that sends it into spasm, it really hurts. Your whole chest convulses and you can't breathe deep enough to keep the oxygen flowing. Sometimes there's nothing you can do. But most experts recommend trying to breathe with your belly to drive the motion rather than high up in the chest.
Breathing that way is in fact always recommended. Your breathing diaphragm is your friend, people. Don't forget it.
Breathing on the bike
It's important to govern your breathing when you're on a bike as well. Understand that the typical road bike or tri-bike riding position is not necessarily conducive to optimal breathing. Some have even suggested that riding bibs are better for breathing than regular shorts because the shorts constrict your belly breathing? I'm not so convinced of that, but anything such as bib shorts that make it nearly impossible to go to the bathroom absolutely must be better for you right? I mean, don't we all make sacrifices for our respective shorts, I mean sports?
More practically, please make sure that your handlebars are wide enough because that opens your chest for better breathing. So who knows?
Beyond that you can establish a rhythm for different types of riding. Uphill, don't always breathe on the same pedal stroke. Instead try to spread your breathing out, as if you were smoothing over the effort.
Downhill you may find yourself holding your breath as you concentrate. That's not really good either. Take a deep breath…
In a sprint you may not breathe so much as you hiss and spit and fight with all your might. Frankly that's okay. Even runners who sprint 100 meters don't breathe that much.
That's because the gas we call oxygen is a lazy-assed element. It doesn't go anywhere on its own. In the atmosphere it must either be sucked or blown by pressure systems. The same is true in your body. That's why the autonomic nervous system works your lungs like a bellows, sucking and blowing and generally moving oxygen and carbon dioxide in and out of your body.
You really become conscious of breathing when you take up an un-sport such as yoga. Pretty much all you are doing is breathing so that your body goes into all sorts of contortions that cause you stretchy pain and teach you that you are a tight little monkey person with bad hip flexors. That's yoga. So breathe.
So consider, having to breathe hard to exercise sort of sucks. But it really blows. Yet you should consider the alternatives before you get too upset about having to work with your autonomic nervous system on the issue of breathing. Without it, everything really slows down a bit. Just watch me in a pool. You'll begin to believe in the merits of breathing. Real fast.
See you out there, fellow breathers.

Street conversation about the merits of Cartesian grid or the heuristic process of proportional diagram design.
29 July 2015:
Two drawings, one freehand showing a street scene with a conversation happening between two people on balconies on opposite sides of the alley way. What are they talking about? The merits of the Cartesian grid of the paving below?
Or what comes next in the void at the end of the street, or maybe making plans for big RUGBY match, or maybe they are discussing the pros and cons of the trial and error, proportional diagram below….
Is it a plan? Is it a house, a city, a detail, a part, a whole, a copy, some abstract nonsense that has no real value (unlike real estate) ?
The conversation continues to flow in and out and around and around the subject matter, passing their opinions between themselves; fast and true.
Just like practising passes before the big game.

This photo from 1865 appears so real to me and a perfect antidote to the ubiquitous award winning, resale(able), innovative, creative, profit driven environments we swamp ourselves in these days.
Modus operandi
This post is specifically for all our neuroscientist friends.
I love the words 'modus operandi' and the idea that we each have one, one specific to each of us and one, when we recognise it, is like the most comfortable garment that each of us could ever wear.
When modus operandi is truly purring along, is in the sweet zone, is singing from the heart, then we start to play, play in realms where there are no rules, no actions of prescriptive origin, no, no, no, no, no none of that. Only the wonderful freedom to simply scribble and wonder and marvel at that ability and that opportunity to scribble and to enjoy that.
Here endth the lesson …
The tweaked wall reveals free choice and play.
Very, very simple operations repeated.
Nature -Artefact interaction.
Meld and a quiet struggle
May 2 2015 drawing is a picture that records some sort of dialogue. A record of a series of conversations some of which go nowhere and some have a loose connection to other parts.
I like the idea that different characters can pop in on the picture when they want to: there is no exclusion in this pictorial world so a couple beating the fog are ok. The arm chair thinker wondering what to do with his hands is ok too.
Also when the subject matter has no leash, it wanders and other ideas are free to pop in. This drawing reveals several ideas for me to think about. They can be found middle bottom and bottom right (the green bit).
The middle bottom bit is a flotilla of simple bench seats with a person at either end. Interspersed between these seats are sheep…. the whole image reminded me of suburbia and not necessarily in a negative way; just the quiet struggle of the whole set up.
The green bit also has a quiet struggle about it, but deeper in a world of melded nature and artefact; endless bubbling currents constantly changing. The green bit, for some reason that I am unclear about, reminded me of the Rosetta Stone. The stone has the same text in all three scripts. It provided the key to the modern understanding of Egyptian hieroglyphs.
(If hasn't already happened, maybe it's time for the Brits to return the Stone to Egypt.)

Chip and Tony Kinman are among the West Coast's most infamous rock & roll provocateurs, a formidable twosome whose influential series of successive bandstand iterations — '77 punk originators Dils, '80s Americana architects Rank & File, electro-brutalists Blackbird and the frontier-philosophizing Cowboy Nation — represent some of the Golden State's most insidiously creative stylistic insurgencies.
While elder sibling Tony serves today mainly as producer/co-writer, their wild, new Chip-fronted punk blues band Ford Madox Ford are vintage Kinman iconoclasm. The just-lensed video "Dark American Night," a stabbing, hissing, steam-heated rumble of shadowy metaphor and high-voltage riff-torturing, ably represents the brothers' ongoing safari through the American pop vernacular and upholds their long-standing tradition of shredding convention while reaching for a fresh, farther flung artistic standard.

GVSU football stomps Wayne State 45-27 in road matchup
The No. 8 ranked Grand Valley State football team made themselves feel right at home Saturday, Oct. 7, in Detroit, where they defeated the Wayne State Warriors 45-27 to move up to 5-1 (5-0 GLIAC), while WSU fell to 2-4 (1-3 GLIAC).
The win was the first of the Lakers' three-game road stretch, one that GVSU head coach Matt Mitchell was pleased to grab.
"(The win was) huge. If you're going to go three-for-three on the road, you have to go one-and-one to start," Mitchell said.
A victory on the road will always be a source of boosted confidence for any team, but when the win also cements the Lakers as one of two undefeated teams—Ashland University is the other—in the GLIAC, there is room for celebration.
"More than anything, it gets us to 5-0 in the league," Mitchell said. "We have everything right in front of us. I'm proud of this group for coming over after a hard week of practice—especially the offense—and playing really well."
The Warriors started the game with a statement, creeping their way into Laker territory, but gave the ball up on downs followed by a Laker punt. After a Wayne State drive stalled out, the Warriors prepared to punt, but a botched snap soared over the punter's head and was downed at the Warriors' nine.
The play gave perfect offensive positioning to the Lakers, as they punched the ball for a touchdown on only two plays. GVSU running back Marty Carter scored from five yards out for the touchdown, giving the Lakers an early 7-0 lead with 12 seconds remaining in the first quarter.
A quick two minutes after Carter's score, the Lakers wound up in Warrior territory where quarterback Bart Williams connected with wide receiver Nick Dodson for a 29-yard touchdown. It was Dodson's second catch and second touchdown on the season. The Lakers then found themselves up 14-0 with 13:14 left in the second quarter.
In attempt to slow the Lakers' hot start, the Warriors' special teams booted a punt and let it roll all the way back to the GVSU three-yard line. However, the valiant effort by the Warriors didn't matter, as Carter took one hand-off and shot down the field for a school-record 97-yard touchdown run for his second score of the night.
With the team on the brink of a safety, Williams was just thankful to have Carter in his backfield.
"We're backed up on the three-yard line, you feel like it's a big drive and that you'll have to put some things together, and (Carter) just pops right through there," Williams said. "Great play call. We had the safety chasing Bean on the motion, and he ripped it right past them. He's the fastest player on the field."
A 20-yard field goal from Avery Echols and a Williams' six-yard touchdown pass to Austin Paritee mere seconds before halftime gave the Lakers a commanding 31-0 lead heading into the break.
Not even halftime could slow the Lakers, as a long kickoff return and five offensive plays for 35 yards were capped off in less than two minutes when Williams found tight-end Nick Keizer for a 29-yard strike.
The Lakers' onslaught didn't let up, as Carter would end his night on a bang with a 68-yard touchdown run, his third of the night, with 3:21 left in the third quarter. Carter would finish his night with 11 carries for 218 yards and three scores, good for 19.8 yards per carry.
The successful night for Carter was a promising sight after only rushing the ball four times against Saginaw Valley State due to a knee ailment.
"I'm feeling great; I'm feeling good," Carter said. "I feel great going into the next game. Offensive line did well today, and everyone came out ready to play, ready to fight. We went to war with each other."
The Warriors would add three touchdowns in the fourth quarter against GVSU's second- and third-team defenses to eventually bring the game to its final score of 45-27.
However, things would get heated between the two teams as time wound down in the fourth quarter. Two Warriors were ejected, while WSU starting quarterback D.J. Zezula left with an injury.
Williams finished the night 10-13 passing for 142 yards, three touchdowns and no turnovers before giving way to Cole Kotopka, who completed his only pass attempt and ran for 38 yards on four attempts.
Six different Lakers picked up at least 20 yards through the air, but none accrued more than Keizer (38 yards on two catches and a touchdown). Dodson's and Paritee's touchdowns were their only catches of the night, while Jalen Bryant (one catch, 24 yards), Brandon Bean (three catches, 23 yards) and Carter (two catches, 22 yards) added to GVSU's passing numbers.
Linebacker Collin Schlosser led the way defensively with 13 total tackles, while defensive tackles Demetrius Farmer and Michael Pettis and linebacker Garrett Pougnet each collected a quarterback sack.
"I'm glad our guys got experience," Mitchell said. "I don't regret anything, other than I should have called a timeout and put our hands team out when I knew they were going to onside it the first time. Our backups got valuable experience. Backups got great experience against their starters, and we'll go in and watch tape."
Wayne State controlled the ball for 43:02 of the game and had 30 first downs, while GVSU held possession for only 16:58 and moved the chains only 16 times. The stark contrast between time of possession, first downs and points can be largely chalked up to field position, big plays and style of offense.
For example, the Warriors picked up 197 total rushing yards on 58 carries, good for 3.4 yards per carry. In contrast, the Lakers managed 285 yards on the ground on only 27 attempts, which averages out to 10.6 yards per carry.
With the victory, the Lakers remain undefeated in conference play and are one of two teams without a mark in the loss column (Ashland, 4-0).
The three-game road swing will continue for the Lakers when they travel to Missouri for their second and final non-conference bout with the Truman State Bulldogs (1-5, 1-3) in a mid-afternoon contest.

Love Island's Chris Hughes and Olivia Attwood vow to call their real life baby Cash after plastic son from the show
The Gloucestershire-born hunk melted hearts when he doted on the life-sized baby in the villa
CHRIS Hughes and Olivia Attwood reckon they'll name their first baby Cash - after their plastic doll in Love Island.
The Gloucestershire-born hunk melted hearts when he doted on the life-sized baby during one of the most memorable challenges in the villa.
Asked by New magazine whether they would name their first born 'Cash', Chris replied: "Yeah, real life, 100 per cent.
"It wouldn't work with any other name. If someone calls their baby Cash Hughes, I'll be livid."
Olivia chimed in: "That's my real life baby name if I have boys. I gave it to him."
The blonde beauty, who chose the name due to her love of money, said she's "proud" of the way Chris looked after their baby during the show.
He agreed: "I took great care of him. We had a nap in the lounge and he woke me up, bless him.
"He was a gem, he actually brought us together at times."

text: I tried botox for the first time to remove my strong frown lines on my forehead. I received 10 units of botox which really made a difference in addition relieved my frequent migraines. I'm very impressed with my results and will definitely continue seeing Dr. Weber. I was very frightened by the whole idea of injection in my face but Dr. Weber was so gentle, patient which made me very relaxed. Before I knew it I was comfortable, relaxed and the procedure was over. I absolutely adore his staff especially Cory, great office personnel.

NOTD: AquaViolet Nail ArtSunday, June 19, 2011
For these nails I used Clear Straight Forward nail tips from Magnetic, Violine (purple) glitter from Montetico, turquoise sequins and giant glitter, pink acrylic powder and acrylic liquid from star nails.
First I stuck the tips on and cut them. Then I put the sequins and glitter on using the acrylic powder and liquid. After the design is done I covered my entire nail bed with the acrylic powder and liquid.
All done! I really like this color combo. I think it looks nice against my skin tone :-)

Launched in January 2015, Durham Atlético is a soccer organization dedicated to broadening access to the beautiful game throughout Durham, with a particular focus on the urban core.
We are committed to tackling two intertwined challenges: the lack of available public soccer fields in Durham, and the scarcity of low-cost, structured programs for children and adults. We are also committed to improving soccer facilities for low-wealth, immigrant and minority communities.
In the winter and spring of 2015, Durham Atlético is focused on two primary objectives.
- To organize and run an adult indoor futsal league. Futsal is an increasingly popular type of soccer invented in South America
- To raise money to buy the goals and nets needed to upgrade an existing athletic field to make it suitable for youth and adult soccer.
Durham Atlético is a limited liability company. The managing member is longtime Durham resident David Fellerath. As we achieve our preliminary goals and develop a business model, we will identify and transition to a corporate structure that is best suited for our long-term success.

Google search for "tattoos in the workplace" will turn up more results than you can read in a lifetime. And the top search engine real estate is dominated by sites including Forbes, USAToday, and Business Insider.
In an old 2011 article from Forbes, the site argues that tattoos still have a negative impact on your career. Then in 2013 they took back that claim, stating that tattoos were "no longer a kiss of death in the workplace".
The strange thing is that while both of these articles were posted two years apart and argue completely opposite points, they support their claims with the exact same research studies.
In fact, anyone who browses through those top news sources will see that every piece on the topic cites the same three sources: an old 2011Career Builders survey, a 2010 Pew Research report on millennials, and an infographic designed by a skin boutique (seriously??)
Hard to believe, right? For a question affecting millions of people, you'd think those top news sources would do better than just recycling article after article on the same pathetically inadequate research sources that they've used for years.
What does current research say?
Employment correspondent Annie Singer decided to look into the most credible and up-to-date academic research on tattoos and employment, and uncovered some interesting conclusions and statistics. The results she posted are copied below:
Here are a few key findings from the research studies I reviewed that support that attitudes towards tattoos in the workplace may be changing:
- 86% of young professionals did not think piercings and tattoos reduce the chance of getting jobs (source)
- Grooming and business attire were more important indicators in the hiring decision than tattoos and piercings (source)
- Heavily tattooed professionals felt that tattoos made them more accessible to younger coworkers (source)
However there were also findings that tattoos still may be limiting in the workplace. Researchers also revealed that:
- Visible tattoos had a predominantly negative effect on employment selection, driven by the hiring manager's perception of customer expectations (source)
- Tattooed professionals frequently experienced unwanted touching in the workplace (source)
- Consumers showed a preference for non-tattooed front-line staff (source)
What does it mean?
When consulting the actual research, we clearly see that there's been steady progress towards the acceptance of tattoos in the workplace; however highly visible tattoos can still have a negative impact, particularly in customer-facing jobs.
Tattooed professionals often keep their "business" and "tattooed" identities separate by covering up their skin in professional settings, especially upon first meetings when initial impressions are formed. Some workers choose to always keep their tattoos hidden, while others show them after they've established professional knowledge and authority.
If you are worried about negative impacts of tattoos either in finding employment or advancing in your career, make sure the tattoos you get can be easily covered up to mitigate the risks of discrimination. And if you opt for a tat across your forehead … you better be really good at concealing with makeup!

How to Make Authentic Malay Chicken Satay
In Malaysia, chicken satay or beef satay usually served with peanut sauce, compressed rice or nasi impit, fresh slices of cucumber, and fresh slices of onions. I love the taste of the sweet and spicy chicken skewers that comes from the lemongrass, cumin, galangal, fresh turmeric, onions, and garlic. It requires a significant amount of time to prepare chicken satay. I love doing something like this, especially on the weekends.
Before preparing the ingredients, I have soaked the skewers in the water for a while. This is to prevent the bamboo from getting easily burned during the grilling process.
Preparation: Paste
- Two pounds chicken breast (sliced thin)
- An inch galangal*
- Two inches fresh turmeric*
- A stalk lemongrass* (you can use the crushed lemongrass just like I did)
- An inch ginger*
- One large red onion*
- A teaspoon cumin*
- A teaspoon aniseed*
- Half-cup water*
- 4 tablespoons white sugar*
*Blend all together. In a large bowl, soak the chicken, cover the bowl, and put in the fridge for 3-4 hours.
Preparation: Peanut Sauce
- Raw peanuts (400 grams)
- 6 dried chilies
- 3 garlic cloves
- 4 shallots
- An inch ginger
- A stalk lemongrass
- Half-cup palm sugar
- Salt
- 2 cups water
- 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
The Method:
- Over a medium heat pan, roast the peanuts until it brown. Let it cool.
- Take the peanuts skin off, and blend it dry. Set aside.
- Blend dried chilies, lemongrass, garlic, ginger, shallots, and water. Make a paste.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.Throw in the paste. Stir-fry for 5 minutes.
- Add peanuts and palm sugar. Stir until peanuts coated with the paste.
- Add water as the sauce gets thickened.
- Finally, add salt and taste.
After 4 hours the chicken is marinated. Take out from the fridge. Thread marinated chicken onto the skewers one by one. I recommend putting gloves on as the yellow paste will stick to your hands. Brush some oil on the chicken before putting on the grill. Grill 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Serve with warm peanut sauce, and sliced cucumber.
Questions & Answers
Where I can buy or get the galangal?
You can find it at any Asian market.Helpful 1

Mother always gave me paper whites.
Each December, she would hand me a gift-wrapped pot with bulbs poking out of rocks. It didn't look like much. I would be depressed by the onset of winter, a time when horizon and ground melded, the dark, drab sky perfectly morphing into the dark, drab concrete; and when the frozen, drab slush would seep into my permeable, drab boots.
This was when I most needed color and nature. And my mom knew it. I would set my paper whites in front of a window and carefully water them. In no time, little white daffodil-like flowers would bloom, filling my house with a sweet jasmine scent.
The days of paper whites ended when I left to live in Israel nine years ago. I moved into an apartment with a rooftop just last August. Under the scorching Israeli summer sun, the garden was nothing but parched earth and hardy weeds.
My mom, who passed away in November, is gone. I sat shiva for her in Toronto, flew back to Israel and returned feeling empty—until I went up to my rooftop. There I was greeted by hundreds of paper whites glistening in the sun.
While I was gone, the fall rains and cool nights awoke them, while the sun encouraged them. And now, as I sit beside them, I take in their sweet scent and remember.
Those potted paper whites craning for a speckle of Toronto light have been replaced by hundreds of plants shimmering outside in full sunshine. Each morning, I watch the sun rise over the Shomron, delineating mountain from sky blue. And then I take out my siddur and pray beside these flowers.
I remember my mother with each sweet breath because she is so much a part of this.

Kathakali is one of the oldest theatre forms in the world. It originated in the area of southwestern India now known as the state of Kerala. Kathakali is a group presentation, in which dancers take various roles in performances traditionally based on themes from Hindu mythology, especially the two epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.
One of the most interesting aspects of Kathakali is its elaborate make-up code. Characters are categorized according to their nature. This determines the colours used in the make-up. The faces of noble male characters, such as virtuous kings, the divine hero Rama, etc., are predominantly green. Characters of high birth who have an evil streak, such as the demon king Ravana, are allotted a similar green make-up, slashed with red marks on the cheeks. Extremely angry or excessively evil characters wear predominantly red make-up and a flowing red beard. Forest dwellers such as hunters are represented with a predominantly black make-up base. Women and ascetics have lustrous, yellowish faces.
The technique of Kathakali includes a highly developed language of gesture, through which the artist can convey whole sentences and stories. The body movements and footwork are very rigourous. To attain the high degree of flexibility and muscle control required for this art, a Kathakali dancer undergoes a strenuous course of training, and special periods of body massage.
The dancers wear large head dresses, and the contours of the face are extended with moulded lime. The extraordinary costumes and make-up serve to raise the participants above the level of mere mortals, so that they may transport the audience to a world of wonders.
The orchestra of a Kathakali performance includes two drums known as the chenda and the maddalam, along with cymbals and another percussion instrument, the ela taalam. Normally, two singers provide the vocal accompaniment. The style of singing particular to Kathakali is called Sopaanam. The orchestra of a Kathakali troupe is unique and provides not only the background to the dancing, but also serves as a highly expressive special effects team. In the traditional village ambiance, the percussionists also provide publicity for the event by playing outside the venue for some hours before the start of the show.
A traditional Kathakali performance begins in the evening and continues throughout the night, culminating at the auspicious hour of dawn, when Good finally conquers Evil. Today, however, it has been modified for the proscenium stage, and urban audiences can participate in this ritualistic theatre experience in the comfort of a plush auditorium, within the span of a couple of hours.
Krishnanattam or Krishnattam is a temple art, now performed at Guruvayur Temple as a votive performance by a troupe under the management of Guruvayur Devaswom (Guruvayur- 680 101, Thrissur Dt, Kerala, India). The performance is based on Krishnagiti, a text of slokas and padams in Sanskrit, composed by Manaveda, the Zamorin King of Calicut, in 1654. Krishna's story as described in detail in the Tenth and Eleventh Cantos of Srimad Bhagavatha, Mahabharata and Harivamsa is presented as song, dance and acting in a cycle of eight plays in eight days. The plays are Avataram, Kaliyamardanam, Rasakrida, Kamsavadham, Swayamvaram, Banayuddham, Vividavadham and Swargarohanam (Akaraka Swabhaviswa is the mnemonic to remember the names in order). An excellent critical article concerning the various aspects of this temple art and its appreciation is 'Preparing for Krishna' by Dr. Rustom Bharucha [1]. Krishnanattam, the Malayalam commentary to Krishnagiti by Prof. P.C. Vasudevan Elayath [2] includes an excellent introduction Krishnattapravesakam. Krishnattam, a book by Dr. Martha Bush Ashton Sikora and Robert P. Sikora [3] summarises the historical development, training of the artists, description of performances, views of the artists as well as other aspects of Krishnanattam.
Preliminary Rituals
Kelikottu is the first event of the play. Kelikottu is carried out by playing drums (maddalams), gong (chengala) and cymbals (Elathalam) in the evening during daytime at the East Nada of the temple. This is to inform the people in the neighborhood about the performance scheduled in the night. A lamp is lit in the makeup room at dusk. Actors (all male) put on their make up, sitting on the floor, around another lamp lighted from the lamp in the makeup room.
As soon as the daily rituals of the temple are completed and the Sanctum Sanctorum is closed for the day (about 10 to 10.30 p.m.), the Kali Vilakku (An Oil Lamp of the Play) is kept in front of performance space in the Temple on the North side of the Sanctum Sanctorum. The Kali Vilakku is lit by a Brahmin from the lamp in the make up room. Stage hands place the musical instruments (drums, gong and cymbals) on the ground behind the Kali Vilakku. The maddalam players touch them respectfully, lift them up, play a couple of beats on both sides to regulate the sound and hang the instruments around their waists. Then Kelikkayyu is performed using maddalams, chengala and elathalam.
After kelikkayyu, a colourful rectangular screen is held behind Kali Vilakku by two stage hands. Then Totayam is performed behind the screen by the women characters appearing on that day's play. Totayam is a prayer dance performed by the dancers accompanied by music to invoke the blessings of the lord. Totayam is not for the spectators. For Totayam, the lines starting with Narayana Narakanthaka Narakaparayana in the fifth padam of the play Kaliyamardanam are sung.
Upananda, Balarama, Krishna, Nandagopa. Purappatu in Kaliyamardanam All performances begin with the recital of the sloka starting with Souvarnatbhuta as the mangala sloka (Auspicious Beginning).
After Totayam it is time for Purappatu, a piece of pure dance choreography. Either Krishna or Balarama or both, or along with other characters, dance with gestures of hand and face and special steps. In Avataram, the first scene (Brahma and Bhoomidevi) is considered as purappatu. In other plays, the scene in which either Krishna or Balarama or both appear first on stage is considered as purappatu. In Kamsavadham, Purappatu is in the middle of the play. In Vividhavadham, there are two Purappatu, first in the beginning (Balarama and wives) and the other after some time (Krishna, Bhima and Arjuna). In Swargarohanam, there is no Purappatu.
Chakyar is one among the many upper cast Hindus, dependant on the temple, living by the sacrament food and meagre salary from the temple, adept in telling stories from the legends in a humorous and enchanting manner.
The term Koothu literally means dance which may be taken as an index of the importance attached to dance in the original form of the art.
In Chakkiarkoothu, the story is recited in a quasi-dramatic style with emphasis on eloquent declarations with appropriately suggestive facial expressions and hand gestures.
It is one of the oldest of theatrical arts peculiar to Kerala. As a matter of fact, the movements and facial expressions and the signs and gestures employed by the actor in Koothu are said to approximate most closely to the principles laid down in the authoritative Sanskrit treatise on the subject, Bharatha's Natya Sastra.
Attired in a gilt bordered cloth, wearing a red cap and ornaments on the neck, ear and hands, he recites the scriptural poem and annotations with witty and humorous examples and anecdotes with the accompaniment of the cymbals and another cast Hindu Nambiar drumming the Mizhavu, made of copper with a narrow mouth on which is stretched a piece of parchment (a percussion instrument made of covering an narrow mouthed big earthen jar with deer skin).
He is licensed to tease and cut jokes on anyone among the audience, even the mighty ruler, during the discourse exploiting the legendary situations as all those are permitted as the prerogatives of the Chakyar. One should know Malayalam to enjoy the congenital jokes.
Among the classical performing arts of Kerala, Thullal is distinct for its simplicity of presentation, wit and humour. It follows the classical principles of Natyasasthra (a treatise on art compiled in the 2nd century B.C). Ottanthullal is the most popular among its three varieties. The other two are Seethankan and Parayan Thullal.
Thullal is a solo performance combining dance and recitation. Staged during temple festivals, the performer explicates the verses through expressive gestures. Themes are based on mythological stories. Humour, satire and social criticism are the hallmarks of this art form. The Thullal dancer is accompanied by a singer who repeats the verses. The orchestra consists of the Mridangam or the Thoppi Maddalam and a pair of cymbals.
Thullal was introduced in the 18th century by the famous Malayalam poet Kunchan Nambiar (1705 - 1770). A satirist, he is the man who brought literary wit and humour within the ken of common man. His innovative satiric art form Ottanthullal reflected his deep sense of social responsibility. Witticism and anecdotes from the life of this genius have become part of the lores and legends of the State.
There is an interesting story about the origin of the Thullal. Nambiar, who used to play the Mizhavu, (a percussion instrument) during Koothu performances, was once caught napping during a performance and the annoyed Koothu player sent him off the stage. To get his own back, the insulted young man created the new art form overnight and presented it himself the next evening. The audience were thrilled. However this story has been debated by scholar ever since, who believe that it is impractical to create a new art form Thullal overnight.
The Costume: The make up, though simple, is very much akin to that of Kathakali. The actor wears a long tape of white and red coloured clothes looped around the waist-string to form a knee-long skirt. The chest-piece is adorned by various coloured beads, glass and tinsel, and other ornaments. The face is painted green, the lips, red and the eyes emphasised with black paint. The headgear is colourful and richly decorated.
Koodiyattam, the Sanskrit theatre tradition of Kerala, India has been declared as among the 'Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity' by UNESCO.
It is for the first time that UNESCO has selected art forms from across the world to bestow recognition as part of its effort to safeguard expressions of oral heritage and traditional culture.
Koodiyattam was selected from among 32 entries from all over the world. Dating back to 2,000 years, `Koodiyattam' is a unique theatre tradition which survived in Kerala from an ancient past. It deals with the plays of eminent Sanskrit dramatists such as Bhasa, Harsha, Kalidasa, Maendravikrama and Saktibhadra. While following the performative principles of the larger Indian aesthetic tradition, `Koodiyattam' has its own distinctive characteristics that are firmly rooted in the culture of Kerala.
Once the King Kerala Varma of Kottarakkara requested Manavedan, Zamourin of Kozhikode to send the Krishnanattam troupe to his palace for a performance.
Manavedan curtly rejected the request expressing that it is meant to be staged only in the Guruvayoor temple and also that the people of Southern Kerala have not yet grown intellectually to understand and enjoy such an art form, citing the incident at Tripunithura.
Belittled and humiliated King vowed to retort and immediately wrote Ramayanam in the Attakkadha fashion with verses set to music and prose dialogues. He named it "Ramanattam", opposing Krishnanattam, and wished to bring in all the pomp and grandeur of Krishnanattam to it.
He composed the entire Ramayanam in eight volumes in Manipravalam style (form of poetic composition in which words of Malayalam and Snaskrit are blended indistinguishably like pearls and gems studded in a golden necklace). It was a dance drama and the actors were given special and tough training and rehearsals with rich costumes and jewellery and premiered in the Kottarakkara palace.
It could be the ancestor of Kathakali for very many similarities in the presentations, costumes, acting and background music could be cited. The stage decor, costumes, make up, and mudras (formulated hand gestures conveying the text of lyrics) as seen today are improvements bestowed gradually to this art form by two veteran Namboothiris, Kalladikkodan and Kaplingadan.
Centuries down, there developed a branch of literature known as "Kathakali literature" and compositions of poet laureates like Kottayath thampuran, Unnayi Warrier, Koyithampuran, Vayaskara Mooss are milestones in the history of Kathakali.
The sinuous dance of the enchantress, this is a distinctive classical dance form of Kerala. Slow, graceful, swaying movements of the body and limbs and highly emotive eye and hand gestures are unique to this dance form. The simple, elegant gold-filigreed dress, in pure white or ivory, is akin to the traditional attire of the women of Kerala.
The origin of Mohiniyattam is rooted in Hindu mythology. Once the ocean of milk was churned by the gods and demons to extract the elixir of life and immortality. The demons made away with this divine brew.
Lord Vishnu came to the rescue of the panicky gods and assumed the female form of an amorous celestial dame Mohini. Captivating the demons with her charms, Mohini stole the elixir from them and restored it to the gods. This dance was adopted by the Devadasi or temple dancers, hence also the name 'Dasiattam' which was very popular during the Chera reign from 9th to 12th century.

Alternatives for Dermal Toxicity Testing pp 565-577 | Cite as
Integrated Safety Strategy for the Development of Children's Cosmetic Products Using In Vitro and Clinical Methodologies
Brazil is one of the largest cosmetic markets and represents great opportunities for several beauty niches, including children's products. Regarding safety assessment and considering the particular needs of the target market, children's products must be specifically formulated and require special attention to avoid inappropriate use and adverse reactions. Because animal tests are no longer accepted for cosmetic evaluation in Europe, the major challenge in this field is to ensure reliable products using alternative methods and other available data such as those found in the literature. The objective of this study was to define an integrated theoretical and technical rationale for the suitable development of children's makeup products (lipstick, gloss, blush, and nail polish). Without applying animal methods, formulation safety analyses, toxicological in vitro tests (cytotoxicity, phototoxicity, and skin irritation), and clinical trials were considered. First, a systematic study was performed for selection of the intended ingredients that could be used in each formulation. In vitro methods were applied for the evaluation of cytotoxicity, phototoxicity (following the internationally adopted and validated Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development [OECD] guidance document [GD] OECD GD 129 and test guidelines [TG] OECD TG 432, respectively), and acute skin irritation (using a reconstituted human skin model based on OECD TG 439). Complimentary clinical trials were conducted on adults and children, under pediatrician supervision, for the assessment of skin irritability, sensibility, photoallergy, phototoxicity, and tolerability in real usage conditions. The theoretical components of the rationale for the evaluation of children's products were based on the following: (1) simple formulations with fewer ingredients in comparison to products for adults; (2) raw materials properly analyzed according to their chemical structures, levels of exposure, and toxicological profiles, including available literature; and (3) fragrances within International Fragrance Association (IFRA) recommendations. Concerning in vitro results, none of the children's products was identified as phototoxic, as skin irritant, or as significantly cytotoxic in the tested concentrations. Clinical trials also showed negative results for all the toxicological endpoints analyzed, considering adult and children's panels. The safety rationale developed in the present work, using specific formulation criteria and in vitro alternative methods to animal use, was assertive and well correlated to the results of clinical trials. This rationale represents a practical, integrated, and valuable tool for the development of appropriate formulations and the safety assessment of children's cosmetic products.

The Hobbit co-writer Philippa Boyens has discussed the casting of Martin Freeman.
Boyens described the various elements that made Freeman the best choice for the role of Bilbo Baggins, which was played by Ian Holm in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
"His great sense of comedy is something we do need in the story," Boyens told SFX. "He's quintessentially English, and that's a hard thing to define, and one of his great gifts as an actor is that he's immediately likeable."
She went on to point out that Bilbo is not a character who would necessarily appear heroic, and thus it was important to cast an actor who would be immediately appealing.
"There's nothing obviously heroic about tumbling out of your door going off chasing treasure -Â and not even knowing exactly why you've done it either!
"So we needed somebody with a great range, who lets you in, and is also really quite athletic too - it's a physical role," she added.
Boyens also spoke about the reasoning behind the decision to expand The Hobbit into three films.

- Everything at the school is going well. I'm really glad to be teaching again too. I'm not trying to rush them through their work, but there is a certain amount of material I wanted to cover this semester, and I know there won't be time for it all. Maybe I can work it into the plans for next semester.
- If I could, I'd take them with me to other timelines and just teach them there. I've been going for two weeks at a time, but I'm only gone a few seconds here. That would be a great way to cram a couple of months worth of material into a just a few weeks. I don't think I'm allowed to do that though.
- I have more official stuff to fill out for that art school in Silvermoon. They want to know everything! The only thing that might not check out is the general studies teacher. I guess Raleth asked me the night of the mask party, but I had a little much to drink then. He brought Lali with him. I think it was her first time here. Anyway, I agreed to hire her as the teacher. I don't know how much she knows about sin'dorei history or math or anything, but Raleth assured me that she can do it. I suppose I can ask my students to help. They're already helping Vaildor.
- I need to remember to ask the Confessor if he knows of any other young people at any of the other estates in the area. The general education classes should be free, so everyone from the area is welcome to enroll. I've filled out the papers necessary for the Spire to get Silvermoon to help fund it. I did get a letter back saying that they're pleased with someone opening a school in the Ghostlands, and they're planning to expedite my request. I think that's a good sign!
- On a completely unrelated matter, no one believes me that eggs hatch into chickens. I'm going to make sure Lali teaches basic biology. Everyone should know that!
- The room for the general classes is coming along well. Unfortunately, the new hallway to it is next to my study. They had to take out the wall where the side door is, and it's a bit chilly now. Okay, more than a bit. It's freezing! Anyway, my office gets cold a lot. Des suggested I could ask Aeramin for his hot rocks. I didn't laugh, but I think he would if I asked him that. Terellion wants to bring me tea. I don't want him to really. It's my study and it's the only place I can work, and if he starts bringing me tea in there, then maybe he's going to want to stay in there, and I'm so weak around him.
- I've been trying to go to bed earlier than him, and waking up earlier. A lot of times I do succeed. I know I have to talk to him about it. I just keep feeling worse and worse about it. I just don't know what to say though. I can't make him stay with me if he doesn't want to stay. I keep trying to forget that, and try to appreciate that he's here now, but it gnaws at the back of my mind constantly. I can't forget that he doesn't want to make a commitment to stay together, and it hurts. It hurts when I see him, or when I think of him. It hurts all the time.
- That's why I've been fishing a lot. I know it's a big advantage for me to be able to just go off for two weeks and then return to the same point I was when I left. I think Tik is starting to question what we're going to do with all the fish. A couple of times I was gone longer than two weeks, but I'm worried that Renner won't let me and will stop teaching me if I do that a lot. I'm surprised he hasn't said anything about the frequency. I'm not supposed to spend a lot of time in one place, but he never said anything about restrictions on how often I could go, so I guess it must be okay.
- Anyway, I go and I think about it, and I think I'm okay with it all again. Then I come back and it starts all over again the moment I see him. I keep telling myself to enjoy that he's here, and well, things are very enjoyable with him, but then I feel bad after. That's when I feel the worst. Like why do we do that if he isn't going to stay. Oh, but then he says he isn't leaving. I know he's young, but what does that have to do with marriage? Does he think he's too young, and he'll change his mind when he's older? That hurts too.
- I knew it was a mistake. I should have never looked at him in the first place. He's younger than some of my students. He's too young to know what he wants, and I love him too much to send him away.
- I think I need to go fishing again.

Sunashe's Letter
Dear Linarelle,
Your ears are like arrows pointing to the moons–
"What is that supposed to mean?"
Sunashe put his pen down and looked at his friend, Arancon. "It means she has nice ears."
"It sounds like her ears are about to shoot the moon. It doesn't even make sense. Try something else."
Sunashe sighed and crumpled up the paper. He started again on a new sheet.
Dear Linarelle,
"You know, you should try using 'dearest'."
Sunashe flicked an ear as he looked up again. "Why? I thought 'dear' was nice, and it's not over-doing it."
"It lets her know she's the dearest, just not one of the dears."
"Just how many dears do you think I have?"
Arancon shrugged. "Right now? None. If you want to change that, you have to let her know that she's the one."
Sunashe frowned in thought before picking up the pen again and crowding in 'est' after 'Dear'.
"You should make it look good too."
"I'll write it over again when I'm done composing it. That way I won't waste a hundred pieces of paper."
Arancon nodded and took a bite of his sandwich as Sunashe looked back down at his paper. He started writing the next line.
Your ears are like arrows released in the forest at midnight.
Arancon raised a brow. "That's no better than before."
"Why not?"
"It doesn't make sense. You're still not conveying that you think her ears are nice."
"Well, this was supposed to go with the other part. It was supposed to be, 'Your ears are like arrows pointing to the moons that are released in the forest at midnight.' It makes more sense that way right? So I should put the whole thing after all."
Arancon looked at Sunashe a moment before shaking his head, "No, it doesn't really get the meaning across."
"So what am I supposed to write?"
"It has to come from you, but it really should make sense."
"I'm trying to be romantic!"
Arancon tried not to laugh, "I think you're trying too hard. Just tell her how you feel. Forget about trying to make it sound poetic for now."
Sunashe frowned. The others had told him that girls liked things like that. "Fine, but you have to stop looking." He waited until Arancon carried his lunch to another rock to sit on. He crossed off the first sentence, and started writing again.
Dearest Linarelle,
I think your ears are pretty great, and I really like dancing with you. I'm nervous a bit because I know you've had an offer, and there's no way I could ever match all that gold, but if gold is all you want then I suppose he'll be better for you, and I want you to be happy above anything else.
If you're like me, then you know there's other things besides gold. I share some interests with you. We both love the forest. I really like your moth too. We're both rangers and we both share a love of archery. I love dancing with you, which has the added benefit of being able to hold you. I'm afraid to tell you these things to your face, as I'll just sound like the ones who came before me, the ones who hurt you. I want you to know I'm not like that. I would never hurt you. You mean too much to me.
I was hoping you would want to go camping with me soon. Maybe in Outland. Let me know what you think.
I love you.

Officers in the scandal-ridden Tennessee
Highway Patrol are once again receiving promotions – about five months after
the state's governor put a halt on all such actions.
According to area newspaper The Tennessean, THP Internal Affairs Sgt.
Reaker Bass, has been promoted to lieutenant. Ironically, the promotion could
be due to the fact that his department has seen a lot of extra work lately,
processing more than two dozen cases of corruption within the patrol.
On Aug. 23, 2005, Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen ordered
all officers who were up for or had recently received promotions to be
re-interviewed and retested before receiving their new ranks.
The move came after the promotions of two sergeants – Sgt. Tansil
Phillips and Sgt. Timothy Holloway – were put on hold, after The Tennessean discoveredthe two men's testimony was key in the
dismissal of a DUI case against an "honorary captain." The sergeants' promotions were scheduled to happen three days after the governor ordered the
end of the honorary program.
On Aug. 8, 2005, Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen
told the patrol to stop issuing "honorary captain's" badges and photo ID cards
to supporters. That order came after The
Tennessean discovered that the official-looking honorary badges –
part of a program some believe was a secretive way for high-profile citizens to
stay out of trouble with the law – had been given to politicians, campaign
donors and celebrities for more than 30 years.
Tennessean originally
reported that 360 people had received the badges since 2002, 19 of whom are
current or past staffers for the governor. Two badge holders in the program –
which had no eligibility criteria, application process or background checks – were found to have criminal records.
The honorary badge scandal was one of the
first in a string of
scandals in Tennessee's state and local police forces, which have been
repeatedly reported by The Tennessean.
The newspaper has uncovered more than a dozen
cronyism throughout the state's police force and various levels of government.

Before there was Gangnam Style, I was already swept up in the 'Hallyu Wave'. From K-pop to K-dramas and Korean cuisine I was fascinated with the culture.
In preparation for an upcoming trip to Korea in the autumn of 2014, my project will be to achieve conversational fluency in Korean.
The project is entitled "HANGUGOAL" a combination of the words "hangugo"
which is the Korean language and of the word "goal".
My definition of conversational fluency includes:
(1) Understanding numbers and currency
(2) Knowing how to introduce myself
(3) Asking and receiving directions
(4) Carrying myself in social situations
(5) Expressing myself when shopping and dining.
I have created a tumblr blog, HANGUGOAL to track my progress.
Learning a new language is scary but exhilirating at the same time.

Famed litigator David Boies has sold his Manhattan residence at the Sherry-Netherland, an upscale hotel and co-op apartment building near the southeast corner of Central Park, with the property reportedly fetching nearly $6 million more than he paid for it about a decade ago.
Not so for Boies' Sherry-Netherland neighbor, exiled Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui.
Guo—a onetime client of Boies Schiller Flexner embroiled in multimillion-dollar malpractice and fee litigation with the firm—has been trying, off and on, to sell his penthouse unit in the 38-floor building since 2015, asking as much as $86 million at one point.
As The Real Deal first reported, an anonymous buyer paid $13.6 million for what had been Boies' 35th floor apartment at the Sherry-Netherland, which he purchased in 2009 for $7.75 million. (Boies has a primary residence north of Manhattan in Armonk, New York.) The sale comes as his firm is poised to move its New York office to a building at the newly constructed Hudson Yards project on Manhattan's west side.
The sale means Boies is leaving behind an address he shared with Guo, a real estate tycoon and Chinese dissident who's also known as Miles Kwok, ever since Guo reportedly paid $67.5 million for his 18th floor residence in 2015. But Boies and others at his firm may still rub shoulders with Guo in a Manhattan courtroom.
Between May 2017 and December 2017, Guo had tapped a team at Boies' firm, led by Boies Schiller partner Joshua Schiller, to represent him in a series of litigation matters. But the relationship soured and prompted an arbitration proceeding in which Boies Schiller alleged that Guo owed more than $640,000 in legal fees. Boies Schiller prevailed and, in November, asked a New York state supreme court to uphold an arbitrator's ruling on the fee dispute.
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Barry Ostrager ruled in Boies Schiller's favor on Wednesday, awarding the firm a total of $653,837.93 in fees and interest. That judgment came after Guo failed to respond to Boies Schiller's petition to enforce the arbitration award.
Although Guo ignored the arbitration petition, he hasn't backed down. He lodged a complaint in late December seeking $3.06 million in damages for legal malpractice, alleging that the law firm and Schiller—who's the son of Boies Schiller co-founder Jonathan Schiller—were unprofessional during their legal work for Guo. Boies and his firm have denied those allegations, with Boies saying in early January that they were "totally frivolous."

This was the picture I sent to family and friends and put on social media announcing that Kate had arrived. We named her Kate Olivia. I have loved the name Kate for a long time and it was one that John and I could agree on - plus I love that the name is so sweet and simple. I wanted to do Kate McKinley or Kate Harper, but John vetoed both of those. John suggested Kate Olivia and I fell in love with it.
Kate was born at 9:17 p.m. My mom left a little while after to go back home and relieve my friend Alison who had been at the house with the kids. John and I had that first hour of Kate's life together with her, just the three of us. The doctor and nurses left and we were alone for what seemed like quite awhile. I will never forget that time together - it was perfect. I nursed her and then John and I took turns holding her. After an hour or so John went with a nurse to give Kate her first bath. I got cleaned up, used the bathroom, and was moved to my room.
Finally around 1 a.m. John left for home to get some sleep. I slept ok that first night - I was SO hot and sweating like crazy. I kept buzzing the nurse to turn the air up, which she did twice, and finally told me it was up all the way and that I better bundle my baby up real good because it was so cold in my room. Hormones I guess were going crazy because I couldn't stop sweating! :)
first picture of our family of SIX (sounds crazy to me still)
PROUD big brother. Jake has adored her from day one.
A very happy big sister! Brooklyn asked me almost daily for the longest time when her new sister was coming. I was so glad when the day was finally here for them to meet. (Notice the white stuff on Kate's head...when she was born, that white stuff was CAKED on her head. Tons and tons of it! After John gave her a bath I jokingly said that he missed her head because she still had so much of that white stuff on it. He said he scrubbed her good and there was still plenty on there. The nurse told him to leave the rest on and it would eventually come off)
Remmy's turn...she pointed out all the features on her face..."eyes".. :)
proud/happy/excited siblings
all ready to go home
We went home from the hospital on Sunday afternoon. Our stay couldn't have been better...and on a side not...the hospital had THE BEST ever chicken salad sandwich. I got it twice, both days for lunch and still think about how good it was.

When I wake up in the morning, I don't shower and get dressed. I pull my hair up in a pony tail and put on my comfy clothes. This can consist of various different coordinating and non-coordinating pieces of clothing. I have a couple of different pairs of fuzzy pants that I find to be especially warm and cozy. My shirt of choice is usually a T-shirt earned from a mission trip, retreat, or summer camp. If I'm really cold, I'll top it off with my one and only sweat shirt. Oh and NO BRA! Don't even get me started on the evils of the "bra"!
I never leave the house looking like this. I tried once and Thing 2 so honestly asked me (after allowing me to parade myself through the local Dollar General), "Mom, are you wearing you pajamas?" I answered, "No." To which she so beautifully replied, "Well, it looks like it and its really embarrassing!" My girls don't tell me I'm embarrassing very often, so I made a CAPS LOCK mental note to not wear my comfy clothes out in public.
Being a homeschool mom with no real agenda in the mornings, I can get away with not making myself "up" first thing in the morning. I get the girls up, fed and started on their school work. I milk the cow. I start my chores and office work. I do all this in the comfort of my comfy clothes topped off with a glorious (unbrushed) pony tail. I'm usually ready to shower, brush my hair and teeth, and make myself presentable around 11:00 (am).
I have been caught in my comfy clothes a couple of times by unexpected visitors. My girls give the alert; "Mom, someone is here!" To which I respond by rushing to the bedroom to quickly (record speed I'm sure) put on a bra and straighten my (still unbrushed) hair as to look half way acceptable to the surprise visitor on the other side of my front door.
I love my comfy clothes! I get back into them as soon as I can get away with it in the evening. They make me happy and it's those little things in life that do it for me.
Oh So Comfy,
The Milk Maid
