The Colorado State Rams will travel to Taco Ball Arena to take on the Boise State Broncos this Wednesday night in College Basketball action.
The Colorado State Rams won their 3rd straight game and improved to 7-6 on the season after defeating the Long Beach State 49ers, 68-66, this past Saturday. Colorado State led by a 34-31 margin at halftime and secured the victory in dramatic fashion when the Rams Prentiss Nixon hit a game winning three-pointers as time expired. Colorado State was able to get the victory despite shooting just 38.7% from the field and 20.0% (5-25) from beyond the arc. Leading the way for the Rams was Che Bob who had a double-double with 13 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks, and 2 steals. On the season, Colorado State is averaging 70.5 ppg on 40.6% shooting from the field. The Rams are averaging 6.3 three-pointers per game on 29.7% shooting from beyond the arc. Offensively, Colorado State has been led by Prentiss Nixon (17.8 ppg, 3.6 rpg, 1.8 apg, 1.3 spg), Deion James (10.7 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 1.2 apg), Che Bob (10.4 ppg, 8.4 rpg, 1.8 apg, 1.1 spg), and Jeremiah Paige (10.2 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 2.5 apg, 1.1 spg). Defensively, Colorado State is allowing their opponents to average 75.4 ppg on 44.9% shooting from the field. The Rams have a rebound margin of 3.8 and a turnover margin of -0.9.
The Boise State Broncos had their 6-game winning streak snapped and dropped to 10-2 on the season after being defeated by the SMU Mustangs, 86-63, on December 18th. Boise State struggled on the offensive end against the though SMU defense and couldn't fight back after trailing by a 33-23 margin at halftime. Boise State shot just 37.7% from the field and 31.3% (10-32) from beyond the arc in the loss. Leading the way for the Broncos was Chandler Hutchison who had 18 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals. On the season, Boise State is averaging 77.3 ppg on 45.5% shooting from the field. The Broncos are averaging 11.3 three-pointers per game on 39.9% shooting from beyond the arc. Offensively, Boise State has been led by Chandler Hutchison (15.5 ppg, 8.5 rpg, 4.1 apg, 1.1 spg), Justinian Jessup (15.2 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 1.5 apg, 1.3 spg), Christian Sengfelder (11.5 ppg, 5.9 rpg), and Alex Hobbs (10.6 ppg, 2.9 rpg, 2.5 apg). Defensively, Boise State is holding their opponents to an average of 64.5 ppg on 40.3% shooting from the field. The Broncos have a rebound margin of 7.4 and a turnover margin of -1.9.
The Rams are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Wednesday games and 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 games vs. Mountain West opponents. The Broncos are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall.
Colorado State might be coming into this game with a three game winning streak, however, the Rams have struggled a bit on both sides of the ball this season as Colorado State ranks just 272nd in scoring offense and 251st in scoring defense. Boise State had their worst game of the season against a tough SMU team on the road, however, the Broncos have been impressive in their early part of the season and currently rank 122nd in scoring offense, 35th in scoring defense, and 56th in defensive FG%. Boise State has played great at home this season and I just don't see the Rams slowing down Chandler Hutchison, I'm taking the Broncos to cover this large home spread.

I bought iscalper based on the promise of a $1 trial for a week. I had technical problems downloading the software and asked for assistance. They promised to go through the set up process via skype. I didn't hear from them and requested n extension of the trial as I hadn't had a chance to test it.Instead the following day they debited my card for the full month's subscription of $127. I contacted the head of this organisation Scott Morris to ask for a refund as I thought it must be a mistake. He refused despite the fact that he promised a week's trial before debiting the card and also the fact I hadn't had a chance to use it. I later discovered that Mr Morris is a marketer (and a failed one at that) not a trader and this was one of a long line of 'businesses' he is touting. No idea what the product is like as was not given the opportunity to test. Beware of this man as he can't be trusted. He's just a jumped up marketer and what he has done is basically theft.

Alpine Artwalk 2013 almost here!
Yes, I hope to see much art and many artists at the TWENTIETH annual Alpine Artwalk. Dates are November 22 and 23rd. Earlier this summer, Jean Hardy-Pittman, of Front Street Books invited me to show in the Reading Room. Copper Love will have her Big Bend paintings there, too! Then the Artwalk Board Members decided to have a show at Trans Pecos Bank to feature all the featured artists from the past 20 years…great idea! So I will also have some pieces at the Trans Pecos Bank along with a fine line up of artists. The list so far: Deborah Allison, Wayne Baize, Tom Curry, John Davis, Boyd Elder, Teresa Elliott, James H. Evans, and Abby Levine. Other featured artists on this impressive list include Merrian Meriwether, Harriet McDonald, Emily Harmon and Alan Gerson. The there will be the Austin Bike Zoo Parade on Saturday as well as hula hoopers in the street. Wow! Should be a great show and I hope to say howdy to all y'all!

Monday Memes
The Six Word Meme:
1) Write your own six word memoir
2) Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you'd like
3) Link to the person that tagged you in your post, and to the original post if possible so we can track it as it travels across the blogosphere
4) Tag at least five more blogs with links
5) Don't forget to leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play
6) Have fun!
Tara: Aloof, elegant, beautiful, sometimes tolerates Kavan
Kavan: Closets, doors, cabinets, banisters, to explore!
And this is the fun meme we got from Sammy, Miles and Billy:
1. With my beautiful eyes I can see:
Tara: Birds!
Kavan: Mom and Dad in bed waiting for me...
2. With my soft nose I can smell:
Tara: Kavan....
Kavan: Any food in the house
3. With my velvet paws I can touch:
Tara: Crane flies I catch outside
Kavan: Mom's cheek when I wake her up in the morning
4. With my sharp ears I can hear:
Tara: Mom when she closes the car door when she comes home from day hunting
Kavan: Dad going to the bathroom at 3 am
5. With my sandpaper tongue I can taste:
Tara: Temptations!
Kavan: Temptations!
These are both making it around, so anyone who hasn't played yet should!

Quickie with Blondey McCoy for Fred Perry x Thames London SS18 Collection
Blondey McCoy is a 20 year-old wonder kid of the current generation Z Londoner who can do it all. He has collaborated with Damien Hirst, skated professionally for Palace Skateboards and just done the second collaboration of Fred Perry x Thames London (a brand he founded when he was 14 years old) just to name a few milestones of his young career. The new 13 piece "street meets sport" line which features a new composite logo, made up of the Fred Perry laurel wreath and the 'Thames' graphic text.
The inspiration for the campaign came from "Sometimes The Sky's Too Bright", a poem by Dylan Thomas. "He's my second biggest Swansean hero – after my girlfriend," he tells us. "The whole theme was built around the poem, it's a specific and respectful nod to the town he called home." The lookbook sees McCoy and his real-life friends – clad in pieces from the collaboration – hanging out in the Kardomoh Cafe in Swansea, which the poet himself used to frequent. Elsewhere, they also hit up a games arcade and head to the sea with Mr Whippy ice creams in hand, as part of a nod to how 'quintessentially British' both brands are. – from Dazed Digital Article on Fred Perry x Thames SS18
We hit talented Mr. McCoy up for a round of quick Q&A:
1. How did the Fred Perry x THAMES collaboration come about?
Very naturally. Polo shirts are the top half of my skateboarding
costume… and both Thames and Fred Perry are so British, it makes sense.
2. Prior to this, have you skated in Fred Perry?
3. As Blondey McCoy, how do you separate your creative process in creating
so many projects at one go?
Recently, I've been trying sleeping for 25 minutes a night and waking up
4. What inspires you and your style?
Nothing in particular. Just a way of thinking
5. Favourite skater?
Olly Todd
6. Favourite musician?
Onka Judge
7. Favourite song from George Michael?
There's so many, maybe 'Praying for Time', lyrically.
8. Favourite artists?
Damien Hirst and Francis Bacon. That is all.
9. Favourite fashion designer?
Miuccia Prada. By a country mile.
10. Skate, music or social media, choose one
The Fred Perry x Thames London collection is available from FRED PERRY Authentic Shops in ION Orchard for Singapore and Pavilion KL for Malaysia

For this young Jesus had already taken on the obligation and duty of His Heavenly Father…as seen in Psalm 69:9, "…for the zeal for Your House consumes Me…"

(Psssst. Wanna go back to tomorrow?)
Across campus, students sit in the class or one of the public lounges while waiting for a message about the gruesome death of Professor Ramel. Rumors have spread about what happened, but nobody is sure of the details. The story that he slipped and broke his neck has been overshadowed by word of his head being found in a bush outside his office. Having been found by the tightlipped Coach Warner, there is very little information being shared before the administration gives their official statement. Yet, most of the student body would rather continue guessing and seeing if their version can get more social media likes than the others. Many tell stories about a serial killer being on the loose while others try to push the idea that there are ghosts. Hearing Trina's name come up several times, Bryce repeatedly wishes that she could stay in her room and avoid this sickening circus.
"The teacher already took attendance, so we can leave," Aurora suggests, putting a hand on her friend's shoulder. She yawns and holds up a hand, her cheeks turning bright red from embarrassment. "Sorry about that. I was going to take a nap since this was my only class today, but we can hang out if you need to talk. Jennifer can come along too in case I pass out. She's been looking for an excuse to get away from her roommate anyway. Right, Jen? Hey, O'Connor, stop winking at boys. You look ridiculous."
"You mean I look cute," the theater major replies, her bubbly personality in place. Wiggling her fingers at her admirers, she keeps her hand out to reapply her nail polish. "I'd be happy to go to your room. Mine is being used for stuff that I don't want to think about. This new girl is determined to drive me away with cigarette smoke and loud music. She doesn't hide the fact that she wants a single. Enough about me though, how are you holding up, Bryce?"
"Let me put it this way. I miss being teased for having the same name as that crappy dorm Aurora lives in," the blonde-haired student replies with a smirk. Looking at her long tresses, she reaches into her bag and pulls out a bottle of dye. "Maybe you two can help me. I was thinking of putting black streaks in my hair in memory of Trina. It sounds crazy when I say it out loud, but I always loved her color. It was this natural darkness that sparkling when the light hit it just right. If I do this with friends, then maybe it won't feel as insane."
The other girls look at each other and shrug before Jennifer states, "I've done crazier over losing boyfriends. When we get out of here, I'll show you some pictures of my dark period in high school. If there's one thing this redhead can't pull off it's the emo goth look. Yes, I know those are two different things, Aurora, but I still don't know which one I was going for. Chalk it up to youthful confusion."
"Well, this is turning into a fun party," Bryce dryly replies, her mood improving thanks to her friends. Spotting Apollo and Thomas on the other side of the room, she is about to wave them over when she sees them call out to Chris and Harvey. "Maybe it's best to have it only be us girls. Don't think I'm ready to deal with Chris again. I know he means well with his teasing and jokes, but he still comes off like a jerk."
"Probably because he acts that way on the hockey team and can't always turn it off," Aurora mentions while putting her head down. She is about to fall asleep when Jennifer reaches over to pinch her on the leg. "Why did you do that? Now I have that ugly polish on my pants and I didn't want to do laundry until the weekend. Guess I'll be cleaning these in one sink while you two work on the hair."
"I'll make it up to you," Jennifer whispers, patting her backpack. Looking around, she opens it just enough to let her friend see a familiar box. "Got these in the mail this morning. They messed up my order and sent me three instead of one. Figured even the occasional health nut over there would be happy to indulge."
"How does someone who devours twelve gourmet cupcakes a week stay so thin?" Bryce asks, her stomach rumbling at the thought of the tempting treats.
"I don't own a car and walk everywhere."
"So do I, but three slices of pizza still force me to wear elastic waistbands for a few days."
"Maybe I'm part hummingbird?"
"Does that make any sense, Aurora?"
Having nearly fallen asleep again, the zoology major yawns and looks from one friend to other. "Yes, because I've been sneaking into her room to conduct experiments. I've been injecting her with hummingbird DNA to see what happens. My hope is that she'll sprout wings in a month. You can already tell that something is changing because her tongue is a little longer than when I started."
"Very funny, mad scientist," Jennifer replies with a nervous laugh. She turns away and sticks out her tongue, which she curves up to see if it looks different. "That wouldn't really work, right? DNA can't be swapped out like in the movies. I mean, that kind of technology isn't possible, especially by a college student. Right, Aurora? Aurora?"
Every classroom computer and television comes to life, the face of Charlene from the administration building filling the screen. The middle-aged woman leans back in her chair and dabs at her eyes with a tissue. It is obvious that she has been crying, the red and puffiness on her face looking more vivid when she turns on a desk lamp. Her brown hair is neat and tied up in a simple bun, but there is a single strand sticking out from the back. Calmly folding her hands in her lap, she waits until someone behind her computer gives her the signal to start talking. Sitting up straight and clearing her throat, the administrator fixes the camera with a stare that silences everyone who is looking.
"Good morning. Thank you for your attention and I apologize for the disruption to your education," Charlene says in a sweet voice. Pausing to fix a porcelain kitten statue, she puts on her best smile and sighs. "As many of you have heard, Professor David Ramel was found dead in his office last night. There have been many wild stories going around campus, so I am here to tell you the truth. He was not murdered or found grotesquely torn apart. Professor Ramel's head was not found in the bushes and the rumor about a raven eating his eye on top of the central dining hall is entirely false. All that occurred was he went back to his office, had too much to drink, and tripped over a stack of books. The corner of his desk caught his chin and his neck snapped. I am sorry to upset the sensitive ones out there, but this had to be said. Too many lies have circulated in the few hours that have passed. The faculty asks that you show the deceased some respect by holding to the facts. For those of you who had Professor Ramel as an advisor, you will be reassigned by the end of the week. Finally, all anatomy classes will be taken over by his teaching assistant, Ms. Sherrywood. Thank you and please take today to give your condolences and refocus your attention on your studies."
"That sounded more like they wanted us to stop making a big deal out of this," Aurora mentions as the other students begin to leave. Having taken a seat in the middle of the room, she waits with her friends until the crowd has cleared. "She didn't have to give all those examples and look so hungry doing it. Has Charlene ever given either of you the creeps? I've only dealt with her a few times, but she makes my skin crawl. Nobody even knows her last name. Ugh, now I'm sounding like my brother."
"At least you don't smell like him," Jennifer quips, giving a playful sniff. Her nose wrinkles at the faint aroma of animals and blood. "I take that back. You need to take a real shower. I'm buying you soaps and shampoos from the student union. Don't even argue. There's being unladylike and then there's smelling like a veterinarian's office. One that doesn't have air conditioning on a hot day."
"Glad somebody else said it," Bryce mutters with a smirk. Seeing the look of shock on Aurora's face, she takes her friend's hands and leads her toward the door. "We really do care about you. So, know that we say this out of love. Not only for you, but for our own senses of smell."
"Thanks. I'm so touched," the zoology major ruefully replies.

EnMart's Pre Valentines Day Sublimation Special
Generally I write about sublimation topics on the other EnMart blog, SubliStuff. Every once in a while, though, we have a special or an offer that is so great, I feel like I should share it on both blogs. That's the case with our latest special.
We know that there are a lot of people out there who are looking to get into the sublimation business, or who are already in the business, but want to add an additional system to their shop. We also know that there are many embroiderers that are considering getting into sublimation. That's why EnMart has put together a Pre-Valentines Day Special on a sublimation printer. This special should not be missed.
The cost for the Pre-Valentines Day Special package is $650.00
The package includes the following:
- 1 Ricoh GX5050N Printer
- 1 pack of 8 1/2 x 14 Mpress-II Paper
- 1set of Sublijet-R Ink (CMYK)
- 1 USB Cable
This package contains everything you need for sublimation printing. Add some sublimation blanks and a heat press, and you're ready to start creating sublimated goods. As an added incentive, we will take 10% off anything additional that you purchase when you buy this package. If you find you need any sublimation blanks or any additional equipment or accessories, you can save even more by buying those items when you purchase the package.
The $650 Pre-Valentines Day Special is available only until February 14, 2010. There is one package available and it will be sold on a first come, first serve basis. Package may not be ordered on the web site. Contact EnMart at 866-516-1300 to place an order. 10% discount on additional purchases will be entered by EnMart after checkout.

I haven't always been close to my sister.
We're only a year and nine months apart. She was born in NJ while I was in 北京, and then we switched places, and while I don't remember a time in my life when she wasn't there in my field of vision, it's only recently that I've looked at her and seen her as not just my sister, but as my sister.
There is a difference, and it's something that I'm ashamed to say has taken me a long time to figure out.
My roommates (sorry; "sweetheart goddess lovers") have listened to a lot of my rantings about my parents, a topic about which I've also written, to the point where one of them mentioned to me that the song "Blood Pressure" by Mutemath might resonate with me.
It's nothing that intense, but… to some extent, yes.
That's not to say that I don't love my family. I do, I do, which is evident to anyone who's ever heard me talk in person about my parents. I owe them everything, and their fears for me, while perhaps heightened by distance-based anxiety, are rooted in a protective feeling, which is awfully similar to the feeling that that I have about
my sister.
There's a beautiful essay up on Thought Catalog right now called Things I Wanted To Say To My Sister. The essay's a meditation by an older brother on the relationship he has with his younger sister—on ignoring her, on not supporting her, on abandoning her. He's looking back at their childhood and realizing that even though he couldn't have acted any other way, he's haunted by a guilt of what he believes he should've been for her.
The first time I read this essay, I couldn't breathe. It was as though I was seeing myself through his eyes, and instead of telling the story of him and his sister
I saw
I don't remember the specifics, so I'll go by what I do know:
It was raining. We were parked outside of a CVS; I always sat on the right side of the backseat, the way that I always sat to the right hand of my father at the dinner table, and so as we got back into the car, I took my spot and planted myself there.
It was raining. My sister was right behind me; she normally sat on the left side of the backseat, just as she sat to my right at the dinner table. But it was raining, so she asked me to move over and let her get in the car.
That meant that she'd sit on the right side.
I didn't budge.
It was raining, and she stood in the rain while I refused to move.
She started shouting at me, telling me that I was being mean. I still didn't move.
She began to cry.
My mama started yelling at me for being so inconsiderate. Only then did I feel bad, that I wasn't letting my sister, my little sister, get into the car and out of the rain.
I don't remember what our seating arrangement was when we got home, only that the guilt I felt on that day still carries over into my life now
and I'll never forget the way that, in my memory, those tears poured from her eyes.
These days, during the rare occasions that I actually return home, my sister will accompany one or both of my parents as they pick me up from Newark.
These days, she sits on the right side of the backseat. She also claims the car on which we both learned to drive as her own (she's named it something eye roll-worthy but I don't remember what), and she likes to go out with her friends and write off me and our parents as uncool
but there are little things that we, and only we, understand about each other and about our family as a unit. All I have to do is point her in the right direction—
such as saying "Nannerpuss!" in a high-pitched voice—
and she'll react—
in that particular case, by singing a weird bubbly musical line and trying to dance like an octopus.
We're a very strange duo, and while we're very different people, our strangeness unites us ("The jelly… has left the donut.")
I'm like Ben Wyatt and Peggy Olson and Ramona Flowers and those comparisons sound like extreme flattering on my part but I relate most to these characters' imperfections, like Ben's uptightness (I'll never apologize for my nerdiness though) and Peggy's permanent state of half exasperation, half confusion and Ramona's emotional closed-off-ness (there's gotta be a better word). But I do believe that I'm smart, even if I can't always (read: never) articulate what I want to say without making compromises between words and within definitions, and I love the things I love truly (, madly, deeply) and with the full effort and effect of earnestness.
Mimi though? She defines earnestness for me, though her passions are more… all over the place.
She reminds me of Riley Freeman and Ash from "Fantastic Mr. Fox" and Dark Smoke Puncher, in that she's little (though she's taller than me) and sometimes socially unaware ("Gr8 food!! :)"), but she's scrappy and resourceful and also really good at spitting back rap lyrics (her krumping though: not so good). She likes to act as though she knows things, but then she'll message me in a panic, asking me for my advice, and sometimes I want to laugh and say to her, "C'mon," but more often than not, I'll try to tell her what I'd do, and nurse the glow in my mind that is her trust in me.
She's a freshman in college right now, and I think she's having a great time. She's getting involved with her on-campus radio scene, which is something I wish I could've done. She's also writing about music.
I like to believe that I've influenced her in that way, but more likely than not, she just likes it, the way that I liked it.
As for her studies, she's always been a better student than me. I grew up convinced that my parents were the enemy; she "got" the mechanics of school a lot better than I did, and she did the work a lot more thoroughly and with more care than I ever did. I could never just go to bed; I would be up reading, or watching TV, or sneaking (but not in a Gollum way). Sure, there would be nights where I would walk past her bedroom door and I'd still see light peeking beyond its borders, but I knew she'd be reading, maybe Zadie Smith or John Green or a Pearls Before Swine anthology, and that the light would go out at a reasonable hour (much unlike the one in which I'm currently writing this post).
Man, Pearls Before Swine. She was Pig. I didn't belong in that world, or perhaps I once did and now I don't.
There are a lot of things that have lost their importance with time. There are a lot of things that I only begin to understand as time continues flying past me, like Hermes racing the winds themselves on the way up into the stratospheric heights of Mount Olympus.
One afternoon, after getting into yet another screaming match with my parents, I closed my bedroom door and started sobbing. We'd probably fought over something stupid like a curfew or a particular test grade, but every time my mother insinuated that I was being lazy or my father raised his voice and spoke in sharp, percussive jabs, it would open the floodgates in my eyes and I would begin to tear up, whether or not I actively wanted to, and I would scream my nonsensical teenage angst to them in between hiccuping sobs, and I'd meet my mother's steely eyes with my red, puffy ones, and I'd see clearly the iron of their Red blood, and I'd feel, so completely and acutely, the generation gap in sharp relief, and it was not like a chasm but more like the maw of some ravenous whirlpool, sucking both parties into a neverending swirl of misunderstanding and bitterness and
Just writing about it brings back all of the frustration. And it's not as though we've stopped having those kinds of conversations; every time I talk to my parents by myself, our conversation inevitably touches on the sensitive topic of "my future," and I'll be on the defensive because I know my papa will "subtly" suggest law school and my mama will ask me about my professional prospects with a tone of skepticism and
…moving on.
One afternoon, after getting into yet another screaming match with my parents, I closed my bedroom door and started sobbing. About a minute into my sobbing, I heard a quiet knock on my door, and my little sister told me,
"I don't know what you're fighting about, but I just want you to know… you're a good sister."
I don't know what to tell you. You, who used to follow me around when we were younger, wearing both my hand me downs and my shadow; who now openly scoffs at me, calls me out, when I let my arrogance get ahold of me; who lets me pinch her cheeks and pretend she's only 8 or 9 when in reality she's 19 going on 20.
I look at you, and I see how my childhood affected yours. I remember the way you struggled with some of your friendships, much as I struggled with some of mine, and I wish I could've yelled at the people who belittled us because of our size or our ethnicity or our particular habits and said that we were united by blood, and that we would defend each other the way a grizzly bear guards her cubs
but I let people slip by me and hurt you, and I hurt you too, and we may not acknowledge these little hurts anymore but I still see the shapes they've left in your soul and I cringe at the sight of them.
I'm so, so, sorry, but I know you've already forgiven me, the way you forgave our mama for not telling us when 外婆 passed away, the way you forgave our papa when he left us alone in the almost-empty hotel dinner room.
I remember how timid and embarrassed you used to act around my friends. You still bristle when I tell you that I've told my friends about you, but you don't know how much I vaunt you even as I tease you.
I wasn't at home when our family's stability was up in the air, when we were split between coasts and continents, when there was so much fear and uncertainty about where exactly "home" would be. Even now, I still don't bear the brunt of the consequences of the eventual outcome. You're the one who sees our parents in their natural elements, rather than in the rarefied temporal space of school vacation, and while there are definite upsides to that (namely, home cooking), you don't get to escape Belle Mead the way I did.
Not that you need to, because unlike me, you haven't burned all of your bridges from that place.
Don't get me wrong—I was happy during our childhood, but it's the happiness that comes from looking back at a particular time and place with a mixture of nostalgia and informed reflection.
I don't regret moving and living in Los Angeles at all, but I miss sleeping in your unnaturally comfy bed when I was supposed to be downstairs with the rest of the family eating breakfast, and the way you got away with throwing all your clothes and books on the floor when all of the other rooms in the house were cleaned up under papa's exacting eye, and the sound of Debussy's "Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum," with its trembling, cascading closing.
Mostly, I'm glad that you're happy. But I do miss you sometimes, and I worry about you, even though I know I've got nothing to worry about.
Run happy, little sister.
One night this past winter, my sister and my mama and I were waiting outside of the parking garage under my dad's workplace. My sister was wearing a goofy-looking hat; I was wearing my friend's sunglasses, even though it was well after sundown.
My dad pulled the car out of the garage, and through the glare of his headlights, we could see that he was laughing.
As we got into the car, he couldn't stop cracking up, and the only words we could understand from his quavering speech were, "Royal Tenenbaums." He caught himself just long enough to explain that my sister and I looked like idiosyncratic characters out of that film, which is a family favorite: "Mimi with the hat, and Leo with the glasses." Both of our parents started cracking up.
My sister and I turned to each other with the same bemused yet bewildered expressions on our faces. And then we started laughing too.

If you go
What: Amazing Women
When: 6 p.m. Feb. 22
Where: Guardian Angels Roman Catholic Church Parish Hall, 109 Third St., Mead
Cost: Free, but donations accepted
Local author and speaker Preethi Fernando hopes that others can find inspiration in the life stories of women in history like she did when she hit a low point.
"A few years ago, a lot of the dreams I had been building were shattered. Financially, I was out of work and broke. I was at a very low point emotionally. That was the hardest part, and spiritually," Fernando said. "In all three ways, I had hit rock bottom."
Fernando visited local libraries — at the time, she was living in Lafayette, but also spent time at the Longmont Public Library — and started to read about women in history who overcame adversity.
Her research eventually become her sixth book, "17 Women Who Shook the World," published in 2012.
Originally from Sri Lanka, Fernando now lives in Loveland. She is also a classically trained pianist who plays for senior citizens at local assisted care facilities.
Fernando credits both the stories of historical women and returning to the Catholic faith of her childhood with pulling her out of her funk.
"The church having its doors open to me was very important because it was a time when some people I had invested trust in — there was a betrayal of trust," she said. "I needed someone to talk to. Most people sometimes just need someone to talk to and they may not have it, but the church is there. You can talk and God is listening, or you can just talk."
Fernando's book covers subjects from Oprah Winfrey, who grew up dirt poor in Mississippi, to Esther Morris, the first female justice of the peace in the United States.
"Through reading their stories, I came to learn that their setbacks were far more difficult in many ways than what I was experiencing at the time," she said. "I felt like my problems were the greatest, but they were not. They all had setbacks, but they turned them into comebacks and turned their lives around, and it was essentially a decision they made."
Fernando will give a presentation about her book at 6 p.m. Feb. 22 at the new Guardian Angels Catholic Church Parish Hall in Mead. When she speaks around the country, she charges an entry fee, but when she can she tries to speak at churches free of charge.
The Mead event is free, although donations will be accepted for a nonprofit that helps single mothers in Tanzania.
Fernando will cover some of the women from her book and the lessons that people can take away from their lives. Subjects will range from Wilma Rudolph — who overcame polio to win three gold medals in track and field — to Victoria Woodhull, the first woman to run for president of the United States in 1872.
Fernando will also sell autographed copies of her book for $22 at her presentation.

Anderson Silva vs. Yushin Okami
The last time these two fought, Okami walked away with a decision victory, but Silva was already clearly proving he is the better striker. The only real chance Okami has against Silva is on the ground then, and Okami is powerful on the ground and has good takedowns. However, his ground game is not on the same level as many of the other fighters Silva has faced, and came out victorious.
Silva via TKO, round 2
Mauricio (Shogun) Rua vs. Forrest Griffin
This will undoubtedly be a close, hard fought battle. Shogun will come out fast and furious, keeping the pressure on at the outset. But anyone who thinks that Shogun will be at his best is seriously mistaken. It wasn't that long ago that Shogun reinjured that knee, you know, the one everyone claimed let Griffin snag a victory. In his last fight against Jon Jones, Shogun did not look at all to be in rare form. So what has changed? He can train hard for this fight, but in the end it will go to the ground again, where Griffin has an advatange.
Griffin via decision
Minotauro Nogueira vs. Brendan Schaub
Nogueira has taken time off for a year and a half, so ring rust will play in significantly. Nogueira has world class jiu-jitsu without a doubt, but the problem will be getting the fight to the ground. Of his last 3 fights, Nogueira has lost 2 of them by way of KO/TKO, so Schaub's powerful striking will likely seal the deal on this fight.
Schaub via TKO, round 3
Ross Pearson vs. Edson Barboza
Barboza has shown a great talent for landing punches, and with his strong kickboxing background has shown incredible power with his kicks. Pearson's best chances in this matchup would be to take the fight to the ground, which he seems capable of. However, I suspect Barboza has a good enough takedown defense so I don't think this fight will last long enough for Pearson to pull anything off.
Barboza via TKO, round 2
Luiz Cane vs. Stanislav Nedkov
Here is another fight that will almost certainly not go the distance. Cane has seen a round 2 only twice in his career, so look for him to try to finish things early. Real early. Nedkov is primarily a wrestler, and takes his fights to the ground about half the time to snag a submission victory, so he is likely to not be as strong standing as Cane.
Cane via TKO, round 2
Thiago Tavares vs. Spencer Fisher
Fisher has fairly heavy hands, and doesn't mind a brawl in the least. Tavares has a lot of strength in this matchup in his submission game. The big factor here will be who can keep their momentum going, and Tavares should not have a problem scoring takedowns.
Tavares via decision
Rousimar Palhares vs. Dan Miller
Both are seemingly evenly matched, both are black belts in bjj, and both have had some high profile losses lately. It will be a very tough call, while Miller has had less time to prepare, he also has faired better against the same opponents in the past.
Miller via split decision

Claire Denis - The Geography of Lust: A complete tribute to the brilliant French auteur
On the occasion of her brand new film titled "Let the Sunshine In" which was received with great critical acclaim at the recent Cannes Film Festival, the 23rd Athens International Film Festival will be organising a long overdue tribute : a full retrospective of the work (most of which has never been released in Greek cinemas) of the most important female director in the world, which will include the Greek premiere of her much anticipated new film as well as all of her other feature-length work.
In one of the most beautiful scenes of Clair Denis' directorial debut, 1988's "Chocolat", a little white girl stares into the clear blue horizon over the vast African land and wonders how far it stretches. "What you see is not there", her father hastily explains. "The more you approach the line, the further it recedes".
Almost three decades later, in her brand new feature-length film, the existential comedy titled "Let the Sunshine In" ("Un beau soleil intérieur"), Juliette Binoche searches for love and romantic utopia in the roads, cafes and districts of Paris.
Throughout her film career, Denis has managed to offer her loyal audience some of the most unforgettable cinematic scenes and stories in recent years.
Among them the desperate figure of the love-stricken Denis Lavant as he breaks into a solitary violent dance in the last scene of the amazing "Beau Travail". Isabelle Hupert, a proud and stubborn European in "White Material", fighting for her life and that of her people in an unspecified part of Africa plagued by civil unrest. Valérie Lemercier in "Friday Night" who becomes acquainted with a mysterious stranger during a long Parisian traffic jam and gets carried away with him in late-night adventures. Or the bloodthirsty Béatrice Dalle luring her unsuspecting male victims before devouring them in "Trouble Every Day".
For the first time, the Greek audience will have the opportunity to enjoy all these cinematic moments on the big screen and will be able to acquaint itself with the entire work of one of the top female directors in the history of cinema. Her work has garnered high praise from foreign critics, most recently from the New York Times who placed "White Material" on the list of best films of the 21st century, and is referenced in noteworthy print and electronic film literature as well as ever-present at the top film festivals around the world.
"White Material" (2009)
In view of such a fascinating filmography, the visual power of which is rarely matched these days, it is easy to discern why this French director, who in the past has worked with Jim Jarmusch, Jacques Rivette and Dušan Makavejev, inspires such respect.
Passion and impulse make for an exuberant cinematic world, she uses elements from the realm of dreams and instinctively advances the narrative through the depiction of fatal attraction, late-night seduction, fragile family ties, underdogs, vampiric sexual encounters and multiracial communities in the heart of inhospitable urban centres.
Denis has never invested in something she was not passionate about. As she herself has admitted "cinema for me is not about explanation. It is about the exploration of a feeling, a notion of what a story should be like. It is a private internal process which is hard to describe. It is more of an internal experience. This is what I try to communicate through film. I want to do away with the tyranny of having to explain everything. For only then can you trust your own judgement, your senses and reach a conclusion you never imagined existed".
"Good Work" ("Beau travail", 1999)
Films to be shown as part of the tribute:
Chocolat (1988)
No Fear, No Die (S'en fout la mort, 1990)
I Can't Sleep (J'ai pas sommeil, 1994)
Nenette and Boni (Nénette et Boni, 1996)
Good Work (Beau travail, 1999)
Trouble Every Day (2001)
Friday Night (Vendredi soir, 2002)
The Intruder (L' intrus, 2004)
35 Shots of Rum (35 rhums, 2008)
White Material (2009)
Bastards (Les salauds) (2013)
Let the Sunshine In (Un beau soleil intérieur, 2017)*
Isabelle, Parisian artist, divorced mother, is looking for love, true love at last. Although each man she meets places her further away from what she is looking for, there is still something unique about each one. Hope, expectations and disappointment alternate offering ample opportunity for laughter as, in spite of all her misfortunes, Isabelle's efforts continue …
The film "Let the Sunshine In" will be release on the 5th October by Filmtrade.
"Friday Night" ("Vendredi soir", 2002)
"Trouble Every Day" (2001)
Claire Denis during filming.
From the premiere of the film "Let the Sunshine In" at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival.
The 23rd Athens International Film Festival will take place from the 20th September until the 1st October 2017.

Penn State Scandal Intensifies on Tuesday

National Lottery sensation!
A professional player in the National Lottery won only 21 £, because he dropped the ball 4 agreed. If he dropped the ball 3, it would bring him to 25 £
The player was stunned and how said Adrian Hewlett, he no longer wants to play the national lottery. Since he was very disappointed and will now select another game.
Another player was an electrician who was 69 years old. He saw his 4 digits, which fell on Wednesday.
He was also shocked if dropped 3 goals instead of four, his win was more.
A spokesman from Lotto explained how this system works and why.
Mr. Hewlett could not imagine that the 4 balls bring less money than 3. He was shocked to learn about it and think it's not fair.
" I played and chose their usual numbers, I was very surprised when I saw 4 goals, and winning was so small ", says Adrian Hewlett
He hoped that his win will allow him to travel with his wife, and this he did not win enough to buy ice cream.
Now he wants to play more bingo, where the rules will be easier for him. He wants to try to win in the lottery of Health.
This lottery system started up in 2011 and has since earned a good profit to the Treasury. The agency draws from the funds allocated nearly 60 million pounds for charity. Thanks to this money could help the state more than 265 000 people.
Money from the sale of lottery Health goes to the best charities in England. They help people with various diseases, even Alzheimer's disease. This lottery is very important to help the poor and sick people.
Winning numbers can bring a winner to 100 000 pounds, it's not much for a state lottery. But for this amount of income out of 25 000 with each win.
This is a good win, if we consider the fact that you buy a lottery ticket for just £ 2.
The operators of the lottery said that the rules of winning should be some changes.
Who is winning the coincidence of three balls fixed – it is 25 pounds. Changes can clean the system.
Lottery spokesman said that now the conditions are not like many people, but it does not prevent others willing to play this game. Prizes still exist, as well as stimulation of people to match.
Now information shows that last year the players have increased by 50%. Except this were more winners, as drops 3 or 4 digits. People usually put on the number of their original date, anniversary or birthday.

Placed the comment below to this blog post titled The Human Future by Jack Whelan.
Jack said "We're in the habit of looking toward the future in the rear-view mirror, and we assume fundamental continuity with incremental changes."
Yes, that is right. I'm 60 now, and recall thinking with pride and optimism and excitement when I was 10 that now I'm living in a truly modern world. We went to space that year. And I expected technology change in the way usually depicted by the magazine covers of say Popular Science and as science fiction films of the fifties showed it. (recall a futuristic space travelling serial show where they used slide rules!) But not many if any anticipated what has happened and how wonderfully things would unfold. We had the VCR and personal computer revolution in the eighties, the internet in the nineties, social media (bringing with it this blog) in the 2000's. Marvelous medical and communication advances. Don't think many saw it coming about like this. Definitely not me and I'm an R&D engineer with a PhD. Perhaps Teilhard du Chardin. I listened to a book review in Philosophy of Religion Class forty years ago and thought he was crazy. Not looking so much that way now.
See 1959 Popular Science Covers here. I especially recall seeing things like on the July cover - cars without wheels.

My all-time favorite worst stated reason for acquiring a goat came from a gentleman who called wanting to buy a dairy goat for milk to help his ulcers. If getting a goat because you want feta is like buying a lumbermill for toothpicks, then getting a goat to help your ulcers is like strengthening your heart by jogging through a rifle range.
There has never been a product so mild that originated in a container so caustic. As easy as goat milk is on the digestive tract, that's how hard a goat can be on every other aspect of your life. What I usually tell people is that goats, like puppies, seem to be on a single-minded mission to eliminate all competition for your attention. You have to like the animals more than the stuff they are bound to demolish but, unlike puppies, goats are untrainable and never outgrow their need to destroy.
Among the more vulnerable things are fruit trees (every part of which is highly prized by goats), any ornamental shrub, vegetable and flower gardens, laundry hanging on lines, the lines, cars (inside and outside), and anything that your neighbors have when the goat finally figures out how to get over there.
Of course, a properly fenced goat cannot inflict any damage. The trouble is that goats are untrainable NOT because they are stupid. And they are very clever about figuring out how to get through, over, under, or around obstacles, and they are also demoniacally motivated. They do not sleep, opting instead to stay up nights chewing their cuds and making plans. A fence to the average goat is Mallory's Everest - a challenge, a reason for living. Unless you are prepared to match a goat's sense of purpose regarding escape with your own regarding containment, you might as well just saw down that apple tree and take a ball-peen hammer to the roof of your car, thereby skipping the middlegoat and maintaining a modicum of control over your own destiny, miserable as that is now that you let a goat into it.
So why the heck do I have goats if they are the agents of Satan? Is it the melodious MAAAAA of a displeased goat? Is it the heady aroma of a buck in rut? Could it be the sense of being needed when I am getting out of bed every two hours on cold winter nights for an entire week trying to improve the odds of a kidding going smoothly? It is anyone's guess, but in my defense I know several women who have gone through a first pregnancy that defied description in discomfort, a first delivery so grueling that no mortal could stand the pain, stayed up for weeks with the resultant colic-y infant and had almost zero help from Papa, and yet willingly bore a second child 18 months later.
Goats make more sense than that. It is unlikely that goats will outlive you; they can be legally locked in the barn when you want to go have fun; acquiring them doesn't give you stretchmarks, hemorrhoids, or droopy boobs; and they can be sold (sometimes even at a profit) when they stop being enjoyable. Having goats may be like hanging a millstone 'round your neck, but having babies is like tattooing your forehead.
Like everything else in life, I guess you pick the chains that chafe the least and call that freedom.

The martyrdom of Hazrat Ali (R.A.), Youm-e-Ali is being observed throughout Pakistan under tight security arrangements.
Youm-e-Ali is one of the most important days in Pakistan when security is on high alert to avoid any incidents. On this day, majalis are held at different locations of the cities. Processions then start and pass through the routes they take traditionally and then reach at their destination.
Security arrangements are on an all time high, with strict security protocols being followed by security forces. Security forces officials will move along with the processions and give security to the people who are part of it.
The government and police have already finished planning out a full proof security plan for the occasion.
Security Arrangements in Karachi
In Karachi bomb disposal squads will be inspecting the routes ahead of the start of procession. The central procession in the city will start moving from Nishter Park. It will then pass through the routes it traditionally moves, on the main MA Jinnah Road. It will then reach its desination at Imambargah Hussainia Iranian Kharadar.
On the occasion Sindh Home Department has also placed a temporary ban on pillion riding in Karachi and Hyderabad. The ban is to ensure security throughout the cities and will be lifted once the occasion ends.
According to Sindh Police officials at least 5,572 police officers and constables have been dispatched to ensure peace throughout the city.
CM Sindh Fazlur Rehman had instructed the police officers to remove any hateful banners, posters or wall chalking as well.
IG Sindh Police, AD Khawaja has issued orders to officers to give special security to imambargahs today.
Security Arrangements in Lahore on Youm-e-Ali
In Lahore, the main procession will start off from Mochi Gate and reach its end at Karbala Gamay Shah. The procession holders will also offer prayers at Sunehri Mosque.
At least 4000 security forces personnel have been posted for the security of the processions. Snipers have also been posted on rooftops of the route of the procession to keep an eye on security threats.

Jung Suk-won was detained by police earlier this week for alleged drug use.
An anonymous tip sent to police led to actor Jung-Suk-won's arrest when he arrived at Incheon International airport on February 8. This tip accused the actor of taking methamphetamine while on a trip to Australia.
Further, once detained and questioned by police Jung-Suk-won is quoted as saying, "I did it out of curiosity." Later, after being held for 22 hours police released him on the basis of this being a first-time offense and a simple medication.
In response to the incident, Jung Suk-won's agency C-JeS Entertainment said, "Police conducted an investigation regarding alleged drug used by Jung-Suk-won last week during a trip to Austraila with a friend. He admitted to the charges during the investigation. The authorities released him after questioning without physical detention."
In addition to the agency's statement, Jung-Suk-won also apologized publically. He said, "I apologize for disappointing so many people by making this one wrong choice. And I deeply regret having hurt my beloved family. I will sincerely cooperate for the remainder of the investigation and offer my sincerest apologies for provoking criticism."
However, despite Jung's apology, the public's reaction has been cold. While netizens are voicing support for his wife Baek Ji-young and their daughter, they are criticizing the actor. Posts such as, "why would a person with a family do this," "even if there is the first time, drugs should not be done," and "he has a good image (reputation), this is disappointing" can be seen in the comment section of articles and on online communities.
Jung-Suk-won married Baek Ji-young in 2013. Further, after four-years of marriage, the couple had their first child last May. Prior to this incident, Jung-Suk-won and his family had a good public reputation. Unfortunately, because of this incident, their public image has been irrevocably tarnished.
This is particularly troubling for Baek Ji-young who is scheduled to perform at a concert on the 10th. Notwithstanding, she still plans to perform to keep her promise to the audience and her fans.

Mr India sequel : The 1987 film 'Mr. India' starred Anil Kapoor, Sridevi and Amrish Puri in the lead roles. 'Mr. India' was the highest grossing film of that year. After the tremendous success of the movie, film makers thought of making the sequel for the movie.
Mommy-Daughter Duo Sridevi-Jhanvi Kapoor are to share screen space. There are two pairs of leads in Mr India 2. While Anil Kapoor and Sridevi will reprise the roles that they played in the first film, there will be a new pair. Jhanvi is likely to play the young female lead.

Apparently, Ravi Udyawar, who directed Sridevi in Mom earlier this year, will helm Mr India 2. It will be interesting to see if Jhanvi makes her debut opposite her mother.

Oxidized Silver and Emeralds
Rudolphi, 1840-1853
The Victoria & Albert Museum
We can't be sure if this bracelet with its openwork quatrefoil and cast cherubs (putti) is the same exact item displayed at Prince Albert's 1851 Exhibition. This one, from the V&A, came in a sharkskin Rudolphi case which gives his address as 23 Boulevard des Capucines. The jeweler moved to that address in 1853. If the bracelet was cased when it was new, it cannot therefore have been made earlier than 1853.
It is possible, however, that the bracelet could have been made in the 1840s and cased, or re-cased, after Rudolphi moved to the Boulevard des Capucines. We just can't be sure. The workmanship of the bracelet, and, especially, its ornament of vines and rococo foam, closely matches Rudolphi's style of the 1840s.

The Recognition of Universal Reconciliation - Part 2
© 1976-2010 Associates for Scriptural Knowledge - ASK is supported by freewill contributions
"In the restitution of all things, when the true physician, Jesus Christ, shall have come to heal the body of the Church, every one shall receive his proper place. What I mean is, the fallen angel will begin to be that [of his original state] which he was created, and man (who was expelled from Paradise) will be once more restored to the tilling of Paradise. These things then will take place universally."
• In Eph. iv. 16
And importantly, look at Jerome's comment on Galatians 5:20,
"With God no rational creature perishes eternally. ... For God pities His creatures, and will not suffer those whom He himself has formed to perish eternally, who are sustained by His breath and spirit."
• In Isa. lvii.6
Much more could be cited from early theologians (most of whom could read original biblical Greek as you do a newspaper). Yet this should suffice. It abundantly shows that the biblical teaching of a universal reconciliation to Christ (for all rational creatures) was not forgotten by those who came after the apostles. After all, they simply read what the Bible said. Admittedly, it is recognized that some, like Jerome, were not always consistent in this (and other) doctrines. It depended on the audience he wanted to reach. The teaching called "double doctrine" was looked on as a legitimate form of teaching from the time of Plato to Jerome—and it is even in vogue today among some people.
The concept of "double doctrine" involved teaching those initiated into the greater secrets the fullness of any doctrine, while to others traditional teachings were often perpetuated. Some early Christians felt justified in using this method because Christ taught the general masses in parables, but to His intimate disciples He told them the full truth (Luke 8:10)—and in a language they could understand. With the apostle Paul, however, Christ revealed to him (and others) the full teaching of the Mystery (the great secret hidden from the foundation of the world) (Ephesians 3:3–11). Since the time of that great disclosure, called the Mystery, it is no longer necessary to teach in any "double doctrine" fashion—using figures and terms to mean something else. We do not teach in parables or symbolic language. However, the teaching of universal salvation is so all-inclusive that no symbolic teaching can ever exceed (or limit) its sense!
And one thing is certain. The final revelation of God, which Christ commissioned his disciples to instruct mankind, includes the fact that all personalities in the universe will come to a salvation experience in Christ. And the early scholars of Christian persuasion which we mentioned above, also understood it. The teaching of a total salvation to all is incapable of being limited by any parabolic illustrations concerning hell or judgments.
Still, we do need a full explanation of what happens after death for all classes of people on earth today—as well as a knowledge of the ultimate fate of the angelic creatures. The Bible has some answers which may surprise some people! What we want to provide are not some "way-out" suppositions that have no biblical basis, but clear teachings from the Bible. The Bible is becoming plainer all the time. And there is much more to be discovered, which can be made simple and understandable to the ordinary person. But, in regard to mankind's destiny, the Bible is plain. Christ has already provided a universal salvation for all!

Downs Syndrome, powerful documentary
Exploring the new Downs Syndrome (DS) antenatal testing, the actress Sally Philips (she of Miranda fame – 'Bear with, bear with') presented a programme on BBC2 on 5 October which was both uplifting and heart-breaking.
Ruth Woodcraft
Nine out of ten people terminate their pregnancy upon being given a confirmation of DS during screening programmes at around 15 weeks of pregnancy. This rate has risen by 40% in the last ten years. Sally explored the new NIPT/cfDNA tests and the ethics surrounding them, noting that at 99% accuracy, it may even result in the population of people with DS being wiped out.

Pots without purpose: Toshiko Takaezu's ceramics
The artist sat near her "Lemon Moon," a yellow globe positioned in front of a shaggy blue background. In this miniature universe, wearing an olive ensemble and sensible shoes, the 85-year-old Toshiko Takaezu looked every bit the part of venerable Earth Mother.
Which in a sense is exactly what she was – reigning there over a world of her creation.
"In my life I see no difference between making pots, cooking and growing vegetables," she said. "They are all so related."
Takaezu was in town for the opening of an exhibition of her work at the Green Hill Center for North Carolina Art. The show, an expanded version of a 2006 exhibit at the Japanese American Gallery in Los Angeles, is an overview of Takaezu's career, and the Green Hill is the show's only East Coast venue.
Takaezu is not a native of North Carolina; she grew up in Hawaii, the child of Japanese immigrants. She studied at Cranbrook Academy and taught for years at Princeton University. But in addition to serving as a retrospective of her work, the Green Hill show highlights Takaezu's tenure during the 1960s and '70s as an instructor at the Penland School of Crafts and UNCG. It is the only complete collection of the artist's work, and the Green Hill Center show even includes some of her textile pieces, which were not shown in Los Angeles.
It's a big deal. Big enough for a three-month stand at the Cultural Arts Center's flagship gallery during the height of gallery season.
And for good reason. Takaezu is one of this country's most important living ceramicists, known for nudging ceramics out of the realm of craft with the simple but revolutionary act of closing her forms. The transformation started with a teapot.
"Gradually I made a teapot with a bird in mind," she said. "It turned into one whole piece, and I realized that closed form was the answer."
Closed forms, most often in the shape of beehives, became Takaezu's hallmark. They define her oeuvre.
Just past the semicircle of people who enclosed the sculptor stood a prime if oversized example. "Fuyu," a four-foot tall sculpture cast in the shape of an Edison bulb, represented the culmination of Takaezu's quest for artistic identity. The form was large and organic, glazed with layers of ivory, pinks and grays.
Takaezu's closed forms default toward a watermelon shape, and range from the size of a coconut to pieces like "Fuyu" large enough to contain the artist herself. Most of the pieces wear several glaze hues, from midnight blues spiked with yellow to shades of gray.
"My work is really a three-dimensional painting," she said. "I am not doing the same thing over and over again, these pieces are all different."
Some are more different than others. The "Three Graces," a 2002 work, resembled magnified versions of the old Fisher Price Little People. They are simplified human forms, stripped to their essence.
The "Forest" series included tall ceramic spindles that looked like bamboo shoots or knotted narrow trunks. Three of the figures, out of two-dozen Takaezu sculpted, ascended from a bed of smooth river rocks.
Takaezu's ceramics are made for more than gazing. Sometimes the artist drops pieces of ceramic wrapped in newspaper into the center of a closed form, a habit she developed after mistakenly leaving a chunk of stoneware inside one of her forms. She encourages her students to feel the texture of her work.
"I tell students 'If you get caught touching, just smile,'" she said.
Some of Takaezu's functional works are also on display at the gallery, including a set of porcelain bowls inspired by her study of Japanese tea ceremonies. Their colors shift with the light. They are lovely, symmetrical vessels. But they are not the pieces most of Takaezu's admirers came to inspect.
The artist gestures to one of her hives.

Nutrition coaching is a fantastic approach to achieving the body composition you desire through education and behavioural change, to ensure lasting success. Whether your focus is gaining weight through lean muscle mass or losing body fat, nutrition coaching is suitable for you.
Nutrition coaching is customised to your personal needs and situation, based on science and healthy eating. There are no crazy fads, cleanses, detoxes or products to buy.
Nutrition coaching is not: a diet, temporary, restrictive, one-size-fits-all, or selling a 'product'.
Nutrition coaching is an education program that teaches you the skills you need to achieve your goals, whether that is body fat loss, muscle gain, or improved diet quality. Nutrition coaching breaks down your nutrition goal into the specific skills you need to develop lasting change, and then breaks down these skills into daily practices.
Read more about how nutrition coaching and the Empowered Nutrition program can help you achieve your body composition goals.
