6 weeks already???
Genevieve is 6 weeks old today! :-) Up until this week she has been fabulous. She has had some nasal congestion and hasn't been able to sleep as well as she would like to. I have had to suck junk out of her nose every couple of hours so she can breath! But I have found some awesome stuff to give her and she is on her way to getting better!
So...this is what she is doing at 6 weeks old. She is sleeping (most often) 5-7 hours at night. She is smiling at us with the most beautiful smile I have ever seen! She has also started to try and talk to us. Goo! She loves to look at her daddy. Yesterday my mom was holding her and I started to talk to her and she turned to look at me. It was so cute. I let Edmund annoy her. That is really the only way I know how to put it. But my reasoning is that if I let him kiss her and hug her now then she won't be as annoyed by him later? I don't know if it will work...I guess we shall see :-)

My babies and the zoo!
This last weekend we took a mini winter vacation. Actually for us it was a big vacation because we were gone for 3 nights! Anyway, we went to Phoenix. We left Friday afternoon and went to Robert's grandparents house in Scottsdale and spent the evening visiting with them. It was the first time for them to see Genevieve and Edmund is always a ham so it was fun. Robert went to the Rage fest all day Saturday and saw some of his favorite Christian rock bands perform. I hung out with some great friends, Amanda and Ian and Ronda. Then Edmund, Genevieve and I went to dinner with Robert's sister Stephanie and her husband Chip-which is who we were staying with all weekend. Sunday we had the opportunity to see another great friend of ours, Brad, who was our college pastor when we lived in Glendale. He happened to be in town from Germany the same weekend as us! We were so excited to see him and some other friends that we hadn't seen in a long time :-) Another crazy and great thing that happened on Sunday was of course watching the Cardinals make their way to the Super Bowl! Is it real??? And then on Monday we purchased a wii for our family in anticipation of our tax return! WOOHOO! SO MUCH FUN :-) And we went to the zoo. Edmund was so cute looking at the animals. We have been wanting to take him for a while and he was so excited to go! Boy, in writing it seems like we never stopped! But it was a great weekend, and much needed for me. I hadn't left the mountain since September!

When I ask Edmund to do something that he doesn't want to do he says, "I can't, I have a bad fin!"

Genevieve's Two Week Update
She will actually be three weeks on Friday! But we went to the doctor yesterday for her two week check-up. She is now 9 pounds 4 ounces! She is fabulous :-) We adore her. Edmund loves her. He is so sweet to her. We are still in the process of getting into a routine. And since everything is crazy now anyway, we have decided to stop giving Edmund a nap. It has been a fight for a while and now it is a fight at night time and he is waking up during the night and coming into our bedroom, so we decided that it was time :-) Yesterday he actually went to sleep and slept all night! So I think it will work. We will just incorporate a down time in the middle of the day which will prob include a movie or a show of some sort so I have time to do my thing!

Movie: Chatushkone (Bengali)
DIRECTOR: Srijit Mukherji
CAST: Aparna Sen, Goutam Ghose, Kaushik Ganguly, Parambrata Chatterjee, Chiranjit
Imagine a film starring Karan Johar, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Zoya Akhtar. A film which feeds off their chemistry and makes tongue-in-cheek references to their life and work at regular intervals. Sounds exciting? Srijit Mukherji's Chatushkone is the Bengali version of such a film. It stars stalwarts of Bengali cinema: Goutam Ghose and Aparna Sen (recognisable names for any Bollywood film buff too) along with actor-cum-directors Kaushik Ganguly, Parambrata Chatterjee and Chiranjit. That is how the marketing team sold the film in Bengal, where it released to packed houses a month ago, and evidently it worked. The film has now been released across India. It's easy to be smug about achieving a casting coup, and neglecting other aspects of filmmaking, but Mukherji's script justifies the cast, and everything else falls into place commendably.
The story is about three estranged friends (Sen, Ghose and Chiranjit), who also happen to be filmmakers, being approached by a younger filmmaker (Chatterjee) to meet a producer, who has agreed to finance the portmanteau film, but only with these four filmmakers. There is more to it than meets the eye, of course, and skeletons are waiting to tumble out of the cupboard. The film progresses in the form of stories that each of these directors want to make, stories which cleverly reveal the emotional state of the characters narrating them. Things tamely lead to a Agatha Christiesque climactic sequence, where secrets are revealed with all the main players sitting around a table.
The performances are more than adequate. Sen's lazy, mellow charm makes her character all the more credible. Ghose layers his performance with a sinister touch, as does Chatterjee. A smirk here and an empty look there makes both of them seem capable of anything. Chiranjit, who is known for his affected dialogue delivery in Bengali potboilers, oozes charm and refined sexuality. These aspects make Chatushkone Mukherji's best film to date. Yet, there are moments where you hope the editor had intervened. A few post-climax sequences carry on like listless pillow talk.

Jack Kirby's Estate prepares to sue Disney/Marvel.
Comics Rumormonger-In-Chief, Rich Johnston reports that holders of Jack Kirby's Estate are preparing to sue Disney in reaction to the Mouse House's acquisition of Marvel.
The legal action Kirby's Estate has taken is serving notice that the blockbuster deal terminates copyright of all of Kirby's creations with Marvel. Those creations being pretty obvious: the Fantastic Four, Captain America, The X-Men, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor and, well, you get the idea.
The Estate is using the same group of lawyers as the Siegels, Toberoff & Associates, who I would say has been fairly successful. Though Johnston, theorizes that if the lawsuit goes the family's way the effects of it won't be felt until 2014, when the Kirby's could enter in negotiations to discuss the further use of the characters Jack worked on. Including all movie properties involving them. Which always struck me whenever Stan Lee would get an executive producer credit for his movies and Kirby did not.
Kirby has fought for years over the rights for his original creations, which he signed away when he was younger. One of those battles, was co-creating a series with Steve Gerber called Destroyer Duck to benefit Gerber's legal fight with Marvel with regards to Howard the Duck.
Currently, Dynamite is preparing to publish a series of "Kirbyverse" books that the Estate has okay'd, featuring characters that Mr. Kirby worked on independently from Marvel and DC.

The R Family | 1st Birthday Family Portraits | Annerley Studio | 13th March 2012
On Friday, I had the pleasure of photographing the gorgeous Giselle for her 1st Birthday. She has the most beautiful blue eyes from her daddy, and gorgeous blonde hair from her mummy. She is certainly full of life and made us work hard to capture some gorgeous smiles (balloons did the trick in the end! lol!) I love photographing 1st birthdays – it is such a special time for a family. You have been able to get through the first year, capture all the amazing moments that happen along the way, then they start walking (which Giselle just loves to do) and their little personalities really shine. At the end of our formal portrait session we did a little cake smash, which was just divine to watch. Giselle just got right in there, said "mmm yumm" quite a lot and gave us some gorgeous smiles.
Enjoy the sneak peak from this gorgeous little session and stayed tuned for a few more in a couple of weeks. Enjoy!

Neither Let Us Tempt Christ
by Wayne Blank
"Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things"
As The Lamb Of God, Jesus Christ "gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father" (Galatians 1:4 KJV), however the principle of that deliverance was established long ago at the time of the first Passover in Egypt when the Israelites were delivered from their bondage to death as slaves. But their deliverance was conditional upon repentance.
"But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted." (1 Corinthians 10:5-6 KJV)
"Neither let us tempt Christ" is a crystal clear warning against "Christian" lawlessness (see the Fact Finder question below).
"Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
God's people are not to take anything for granted when it comes to obedience to God, for "unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required." (Luke 12:48 KJV).
"Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." (1 Corinthians 10:11-13 KJV)

Curriculum Customisation
In River Valley Primary, the English curriculum is based on the STELLAR (Strategies for English Language Learning And Reading) Programme developed by the Ministry of Education (MOE) in 2006. STELLAR has been fully implemented from Primary One to Primary Six in RVPS. STELLAR's Vision is to develop in children the love for reading and a strong foundation in the English Language. It aims to strengthen children's learning of the English Language and promote a positive attitude towards reading by using engaging and age-appropriate strategies and instructional materials.
Writing Program
The EL teachers at the Upper Primary level seek the best way to scaffold students' learning and development in writing. After analysing the data to identify the actual learning gaps, teachers decided that students should use character traits to develop their story in order for it to be more descriptive and compelling. The descriptions of a character's appearance, behaviour, emotions, ways of speaking or thinking and the actions or mannerisms need to be explicitly portrayed in a narrative writing piece; the first or third person's point of view, can be given an explicit 'voice' to tell the story in a compelling way.
As such, the acronym 'HEART' was devised to guide students to elaborate and add details to their writing pieces using Happenings (actions), Emotion(feelings), Appearance, Response (dialogue) and Thoughts of the characters in their story.
The teachers then decided to use good exemplary narrative text to guide the students to infuse the HEART in their stories. It soon became clear that Mentor Texts is a practical solution for designing systematic writing lessons in the classrooms. The use of Mentor Texts to guide and develop student writing was started in the Primary Five and Six classes in 2016. It was a conscious effort to make an impact on students' learning of writing crafts involved in narrative or information narrative texts.
Oral Program
At RVPS pupils are taught oral through the strategy, SEP ( State, Elaborate and Personal experience). SEP guides students in their oral planning and provides them with a structure to work with. This strategy is taught from P1 to P6 and reinforced through our oral booklets prepared for each level.
The P6 pupils are given extra oral practice sessions in the morning before the start of school in the hall. These sessions gives teachers the time to provide students with one-to-one feedback.
Reading @ RVPS
Integrated Learning
Harnessing ICT
In RVPS, we equip every child with knowledge on how to leverage on ICT to support learning. Enrich every child with authentic learning experiences, and empowers every child to use ICT enhance learning in a responsible way.
Hence, teachers infuse ICT into EL classroom to promote an environment that allows self-directed learning and co-construction of new knowledge through exploration take place.

return in January 2016. About a year ago I posted my 2016 Martial Arts Year in Review, reporting some statistics on my training and how I spent that time.
Because I have no official training scheduled today or Sunday, it's time for me to analyze how I practiced in 2017.
For comparison's sake, in 2016 I spent approximately 300 hours in formal training. About two thirds involved Krav Maga. Less than one sixth involved other martial arts, such as Kali, combatives (including my first serious ground work), and Kung Fu. The remainder involved fitness (Jungshin and Ground Force Method) and firearms.
Krav Maga
In 2017 I began my second year of training at First Defense Krav Maga in Herndon, VA. I started the year as a P-2.
Prior to my P-3 test in March, I participated in 50 formal Krav Maga classes. (I had trained 94 hours since my P-2 test.)
Between my P-3 test and my P-4 test in September, I participated in 50 Krav Maga classes.
After my P-4 test and through the end of December, I participated in 30 Krav Maga classes.
That is a total of roughly 130 hours of regular Krav Maga classes, down from 144 in 2016.
In addition to regular classes, I participated in several seminars and camps.
In March I completed the five day, 40 hour General Instructor Course One (GIC1).
In April I completed the five day, 40 hour Kids Instructor Course (KIC).
In May I attended 7 hours of the spring KMG camp.
I September I spent over 3 hours in an instructor seminar.
In October I spent 3 hours in a sparring seminar taught by GM Jeff Smith.
That is a total of roughly 93 hours of special events, up from 73 in 2016. Combined with my formal classes, I spent 223 hours training Krav Maga in 2017, up from 217 in 2016.
In 2017 I spent time as an assistant or as a primary instructor for youth and adult classes. For kids, I spent 61 hours teaching (outside of the classes that overlapped with the KIC.) For adults, I spent 27 hours teaching (outside of the classes that overlapped with the GIC.)
That is a total of roughly 87 hours of instructing, up from 0 in 2016. Combined with my personal training, I spent 310 hours as a Krav Maga student or instructor in 2017.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
I began studying Jiu-Jitsu on January 30th. My last post, Reflections on 100 Hours of Jiu-Jitsu, explains my experiences as of December 16th. Since that post I added 4 more classes, and adding my trial class, I spent 105 hours in formal classes at Professor Pedro Sauer's school in 2017.
I also trained outside of formal classes.
In March I spent 2 hours with Rener Gracie at his seminar in Leesburg, VA.
May was busy: I spent 2 more hours with Rener at his seminar in Baltimore, MD, 2 hours with Royce Gracie in Takoma Park, MD, and 6 hours at Prof Sauer's spring camp.
In September I spent 3 hours with Rickson Gracie at his seminar in Albany, NY.
In November I spent 6 hours with Henry Akins at his seminar in Atlanta, GA.
Adding these 15 hours to my 105 formal class hours, I spent 120 hours as a student in Jiu-Jitsu in 2017.
Other Martial Arts
I trained in several other venues in 2017. In January I completed an 8 session, approximately 12 hour introductory course on Kendo.
In February and August I participated in two Shuai Jiao seminars taught by Nick Masi, for a total of approximately 4 hours.
These martial arts totaled 16 hours.
Other Training
In February I spent 3 hours with other Krav Maga instructor candidates learning urban defense tactics at Silver Eagle Group.
In September I began practicing Yoga at East Meets West Yoga Center. As of this writing I've practiced 13 hours, but I plan to add a class on Sunday the 31st to end 2017 with 14 hours of Yoga.
This other training totaled 17 hours.
Adding up all of the time I spent in formal training or teaching in 2017, the total was approximately 463 hours, up from 300 hours in 2016.
Removing hours spent instructing, the total is 376 hours, up from 300 hours in 2016.
Only looking at training hours, about 60% involved Krav Maga and 32% involved Jiu-Jitsu. The last 8% involved other martial arts or training.
Looking Forward
As noted earlier this month, I decided to no longer pursue instructor status in Krav Maga. Although I am interested in Jiu-Jitsu instructor opportunities, I do not expect much progress in 2018 due to my low rank. I therefore do not expect to be logging instructor hours in 2018.
I expect a shift towards more equal training time in 2018. For several months I have attended Jiu-Jitsu classes 3 to 4 nights per week, and Krav Maga classes 3 days per week. When possible I try to attend one night Krav Maga class as well. I will probably still train 3 to 4 hours per week in Jiu-Jitsu and 3 to 4 hours per week in Krav Maga. Therefore, the two activities will be more balanced in 2018.
For Krav Maga, I hope to test for my P-5 rank in the spring and G-1 in the fall. For Jiu-Jitsu, I would like to test for my blue belt some time in 2018, although I am not in any rush to do so! 2019 would be fine as well.
How did you spend your training time in 2017? Let me know here on on Twitter!

The Conservative London mayoral candidate Zac Goldsmith has accused his Labour rival Sadiq Khan of being "about as authentic as Donald Trump's hair" during a lively debate in Parliament this afternoon.
Responding to a question on the third runway at Heathrow Airport that he said had been planted by Khan, Goldsmith used the opportunity to compare his rival to the famously unusual hair of US Presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Here's what he said.
I do have to say that the honourable member for Tooting's position on this seems to ebb and flow with the weather. He seems to say one thing to one audience, another thing to another audience, his position on Heathrow is about as authentic as Donald Trump's hair... the same applies to his position on which he has opined in the past few months
You can watch the video below via ParliamentLive TV.
Goldsmith has been a longtime vocal opponent of a third runway at Heathrow and much of his credibility with his local community is based on his opposition to the project. Until recently Khan backed the Heathrow runway, but has recently made a u-turn.
We should expect a lot more heated rhetoric between the two candidates as the 2016 London mayoral election approaches.

Why the ice bucket challenge works
If you've visited Facebook, Instagram or Twitter lately, you've likely seen videos of your friends – and a few celebrities – dousing themselves with cold water, pledging to contribute to a cause and encouraging others to do the same.
The phenomenon, called the ice bucket challenge, took off earlier this year as a way of raising awareness and charitable support for the ALS Association, an organization that advocates for individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gerhig's Disease.
Just how pervasive is the ice bucket challenge? According to The New York Times, more than 1.2 million challenge videos were shared on Facebook between June 1 and Aug. 13, and the challenge was mentioned more than 2 million times on Twitter since July 29. Perhaps most notably, as of Aug. 22, the ice bucket challenge has raised more than $50 million for the ALS Association.
With results like these, brands of all kinds – not just nonprofits – are wondering whether they could use social media in a similar way or whether such copycat efforts would be, well, all wet. The fact is, phenomena like the ice bucket challenge are incredibly rare, but there are some lessons organizations can learn that may make their social media efforts much more successful.
• First, remember that people share only that which they believe has value. When someone posts to Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter or any other social network, they do so because they believe that information is worthy of being seen by others. The implicit question is, "Does anyone agree?" People signal their agreement with likes, comments and shares, and the person who authored the post gets the small endorphin rush that comes with validation.
What's the lesson for organizations? What's important to your audience trumps what is important to you. Make sure you put yourself in their shoes to determine what might get traction.
• When you let the audience share in your story, it becomes their story, too. Who's the star of the ice bucket challenge? The individuals sharing their videos. For a moment, they get to be the center of attention – which leads to some residual attention for the ALS Association.
What's the lesson for organizations? Whenever possible, make the audience the messenger, not just the intended recipient of the message.
• Make it sharable. There's a very social aspect to the ice bucket challenge in that participants can nominate others to take part. That makes it naturally migrate through and across networks, growing the community exponentially.
What's the lesson for organizations? As inferred above, it's not about you. It's about your audience members' innate desire to connect with each other and share an experience.
• Make it fun. One of the reasons your audience uses social media is to make good use of their discretionary time. That often means they want to find content that elicits an emotion, which could be a smile or tear. The innovative ways in which the ice bucket challenge has been completed provide inexpensive, accessible entertainment, often with a moving message.
What's the lesson for organizations? Your message is competing against every other message the audience could consume at a given time. If it doesn't connect with people, it won't be seen by many of them.
• Make it fast. The average ice bucket challenge video is very short. Many are no more than 15 seconds, a reflection of our dwindling attention spans.
What's the lesson for organizations? Less is more. Today, if you ask for too much of the audience's time, you may not get any of it.
• The medium matters. Many ice bucket challenge videos are shot on smartphones without any special equipment or skills. Video is effective because it engages multiple senses, unlike text or photos. It has, therefore, become the preferred method of content production and consumption.
What's the lesson for organizations? If video content isn't part of your social media arsenal – even if it's user generated – then you're missing out.
• Going viral is two parts planning and one part good luck. There's no way to "make" a campaign go viral. It's entirely up to the audience. You certainly can position your message to have a better chance of spreading, but you can't force it.
What's the lesson for organizations? Timing matters, so avoid launching your campaign at a time when the audience's attention is spread especially thin (during holidays, for example, unless your message is related to the occasion). Even then, however, it might fall flat. When it does, try again, but learn from any missteps.
There's no question the ice bucket challenge will soon be a memory – just like every social media craze. However, something new will surely follow in its footsteps. If your organization wants to play along, keep the advice above in mind and you just might find yourself in the middle of something really cool.

As though I had the power to declare it...I know there will be more cold and icky days before Spring is officially here, but still, it was in the 70's yesterday and the air was full of bird songs and signs of new life were everywhere. My daffodils and hyacinths are up and ready for action. And the bleeding hearts are visible in their shady box. I checked last year's blog entries for March and by the end of the month we will have full blooms on the bleeding hearts. Yay! The peonies look enthusiastic too, and hopefully will be more vigorous than ever this year. O how I love a peony bush.
And not to be left out, the goldfish are ABUNDANT and showy and are proud parents of gobs of babies.

Steroids are drugs that try to mimic the effect of the male hormone, testosterone. There are a lot of sellers out there both in the physical world and online. A lot of people have joined the bandwagon and started to use or combine steroids with their daily workout routine. Why so? This is because there are several processes in the body that steroids help enhance. If you are a newbie or just someone who wants to know more about this gym juice that your gym trainer always use, read on.
Roids, juice, gym juice are just some of the other names that steroids are being called. They are almost everywhere nowadays. A lot of steroids are sold online or in shops. In fact there is a lot of steroids shop UK here. A lot of people use steroids because despite the fact that it has some adverse effects, steroids can help you (especially if you are a serious body builder or someone starting out) see the results faster.
Steroids are anabolic compounds. Anabolic, meaning, they are processes in the body which require energy and at the same construct molecules from smaller units. Too technical? Let me explain further. Steroids as mentioned earlier are derived from the male hormone, testosterone.
Testosterone is the hormone responsible for your secondary sex characteristics, especially during puberty. Remember how you started growing hair every where? Or how you voice changed into a deeper more bass like tone? Those are just some of the effects of testosterone. Testosterone is also the hormone responsible for your growth spurt during your teenage years. Thus, being derived from the male hormone, steroids in some ways can also help you in some of its processes.
First, steroids help your cells, particularly your mitochondria (the power house of the cell or main machine which produces energy), in producing a process which help oxidize fats faster. This is why people who use steroids (even if they are overweight or obese) loose fats faster. Next, steroids help your muscles in growing faster. Remember your gym buddy who was once skinny as a stick? See his big muscles now? It's all hard work and steroids. Steroids have this particular property which helps you muscles grow at a rate faster than usual. This process has not been studied extensively but it has been proven a lot of times that steroids do help in the growth of muscles. In fact, even if you don't exercise that much, you still get to have an awesome set of biceps. Steroids are also medically relevant. They help in a lot of medical conditions like anemias (blood disorders), asthma, kidney disease and a lot more.
Nowadays, doctors are even using steroids as a therapy for people who have problem with their weight. Obese children are given a shot or two every now and then to help them process fats faster, thus allowing them a healthier body.
Steroids shop UK are everywhere because of one reason, steroids are a form of wonder drug. That's why a lot of people can't get enough of it.

Burst Apart
Brooklyn's The Antlers was one of the bands I saw at Lollapalooza on a gray rainy morning some years ago. While their ambient pop music isn't usually good festival fodder, it worked out. Burst Apart certainly carries the stigma as well.
This is not the sort of album that you can rock out to. This isn't even an album that you can sing along to (even if I could make out some of the falsetto lyrics, sometimes I still don't know what they are singing about). But, if its a rainy day, or you are trying to unwind, this album is great.
Songs like Parentheses, Rolled Together and I Don't Want Love are equally great if you are listening to them in the background, or you have on a set of $200 headphones. No Widows is my favorite track on the album. Reminiscent of the soundtrack to that old 80s Cartoon, The Mysterious Cities of Gold, it's got a great eerie vibe to it.
I can see where this album wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea, and it certainly does demand a certain set of circumstances. I still thought It was one of the best to come out of 2011.

Episode 32 - The Wasp Incident
In this week's episode, we fight a wasp/bug/whatever the hell thing it was. Seriously, we have no idea what invaded the podcast this week. We do however discuss all sorts of X-Men news that came out, as Marvel announced several new X-Men titles, which will probably all be written by Jeff Lemire and Charles Soule, since no creative teams have been announced and those two are the writers for the whole ResurrXion event. There were also new trailers for Logan, which looks like an Old Man Logan-esque story, as well as a trailer for Guardians of Galaxy Vol. 2. After some controversy talk, we talk about our favorite anime series and what we like about them so much. Finally, in this months edition of comic book book club, we talk about Nod Away , written and illustrated by Joshua Cotter.

MasterChef and the kitchen table
Gay Bilson knows a thing or two about food.
As a professional cook and restaurateur, she understands the world of fine dining and the sensibilities that drive those who cook for a living at the top end of town. The Sydney restaurants Bon Gout and Berowra Waters Inn—those she helped navigate to the heights of culinary success—are still remembered with acclaim. But now retired from the professional kitchen and farming in the solitude of South Australia's McLaren Vale, Bilson understands well the domestic and more primary connections between the earth and our daily bread.
It's because of this, Bilson's critiques of the popular obsessions with food have teeth. For Bilson, the trajectory of most food writing, cooking programs and kitchen-based reality television is 'aspirational.' That is, it has little to do with the daily domestic life of our kitchens and more to do with the glamorous world of artfully stacked restaurant food we're all meant to aspire to. While we salivate over stylized images of food 'plated' for the discerning consumer, we return to the dinner table with a diminished sense of what's actually before us, its connection to the earth and the care that's made it possible. The gaping distance between what is aspired to and what our ordinary lives most need is wide.
Perhaps most notably, Bilson argues, the value of the domestic cook is ultimately marginalized. For most domestic cooking—the cooking that marks our days and feeds our bodies—is not about art or performance. It's about the daily sacrifices of earth and home. It's about nutrition and wellbeing. It's about the rituals and routines that hold us together as households and families.
' … the central culinary contradiction … is that MasterChef is a revealing picture of what has happened to the middle-class perception of food and cookery … Food for sale is the measure of excellence. Presentation is the measure of talent. In the forty years since we began to talk and write about food in a different way, we have been persuaded to aspire to the plating of a particular kind of food prepared in professional kitchens, learning from the top down rather than from agriculture, and all that agriculture entails.'
Personally, I'm not a great fan of competitive cooking shows and their manufactured sense of drama. While I am sure there are arguments to be made in their favour, I reckon Bilson's critique is worth hearing.
Gay Bilson, 'What we talk about when we talk about food' in Voracious: The Best New Australian Food Writing, edited by Paul McNally, Prahran: Hardie Grant, 2011, 14-24.

The Pros and Cons of Getting an Airbrush Design on Your Leather Jacket Today I thought I'd talk about getting an airbrushed design on your leather jacket. Actually you can get a design on anything leather. Leather saddlebags look great with designs on them. So do leather vest, leather purses, even leather chaps. But the back of leather jackets is what most people pick to have a design made. I use to run a leather store where I airbrushed designs on leather jackets. I also airbrushed monograms on luggage, purses and briefcases. Now, I am not very artistic, so all the designs I made were done by stencils. They can make even a non artistic fool like me look great! See the design in the picture above? That was my most popular design, the double dragon. All of it was done by stencil, then covered with a clear coat. Leather jacket designs can really personalize your jacket and make it stand out. You can make a statement with it, show your pride, or just show off a beautiful picture. You can even make a design of your pet, your motorcycle or whatever else you want. Flames on the sleeves and top look cool. I had one design that looked like flames blowing over one part of the jacket and sleeve. You can think of some really cool leather jacket designs. But before you get one here's what you need to know. When someone airbrushes a design on a leather jacket, they first strip the part to be done in rubbing alcohol or something like that. You need to get any oils and sealer off so the paint bonds to the leather. Once it's dry they then make the background, if any, then the foreground. Depending on how complex the design is there can be anywhere from 3 to 30 layers of airbrush paint on it! All of those are very thin, just a spray. Then once it cures they often put a clear coat over the whole thing to protect it and make the colors stand out. For the best type of design it's worth the time and money to find someone who does it regularly for a living. Getting some guy who airbrushes T shirts will not know about how to paint on leather. Leather jacket designs can be fully free hand or a mix of free hand and stencils. Mine were all stencils, I can't even paint a solid background free hand without messing it up! Getting someone who is good at freehand airbrushing will get you a much better looking design, and more unique too. They can pretty much do anything you want them to. Now, that comes at a price! Mine only cost $25.00 bucks as it came with a new leather jacket they purchased. But most free hand artist will charge from $100.00 to $400.00 bucks for a custom design. That's more than the leather jacket itself cost most likely. It's up to you how much the design means to you. A little monogram, eagle or a touch of flames on the sleeves should be much less. Where do you find good airbrush artist for leather jacket designs? Well I hope to make a list of them soon right in here. In the meantime try looking online for "leather jacket designs" "airbrush artist" "airbrush leather jackets" and so on. So lets say you find a good airbrush artist and get your leather jacket done, how do you care for it? Well there are a few problems with an airbrushed design. It bonds to the leather a little, but it's still just paint. So any scratches or nicks will remove the paint. When you clean it, hand wash it with a mild soap and gently wash the surface. Never use any chemicals on it! Taking it to a dry cleaner might ruin the design if they don't know how to care for one. Also, the paint and clear coat tends to block any conditioner you put on it to help the leather. So it might start to dry out under the design. However if you had good treated leather to begin with the paint should seal it in and preserve it. The more exposed to sunlight it is, the faster the colors will fade. If an airbrushed design sounds like too much work, you can also get patches and embossed designs on them. I'll make a post about each some other time. So I hope that gives you a little insight about getting a leather jacket airbrushed design. Get a good artist, pick out a custom design, and you'll have a beautiful design on your favorite leather jacket that means so much more to you!

Shop Cheap Belstaff Outlet, From hip hoppers to Harley riders, many people wear leather jackets to express urban cool. Leather jackets are the accessory of choice for rock stars and rock star wannabes, but they also have an illustrious history, make fashion sense and are useful in various lines of work and recreation. They are one of the few clothing items that can make the transition from the office to the shopping mall to dinner on the town, and all the places in between. RELATED ARTICLES The rise up of Belstaff leather jacket Belstaff leather jackets Leather jacket of Fendi Leather jackets are suitable in four seasons For many people, the birth of the leather jacket began with Marlon Brando in "The Wild One," James Dean in "Rebel Without a Cause" and with Jack Nicholson, Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper in "Easy Rider." Then, of course, there is Fonzie, everyone's favorite '50s cool cat of television, not to mention Danny Zucco/John Travolta in "Grease". While movie and television characters of the '50s, '60s and '70s was rife with guys in leather, the artists and rock stars of the real world were picking up their cues. Their predecessors were the aviators and military men of the 1940s who wore bomber jackets. There are as many types of leather jackets as there are situations for wearing them. The classic bomber jacket, worn by the military and celebrities alike, is less tailored and thicker. Italian leather jackets are known for their longer, more tailored cut and soft leather. Motorcycle jackets, typically sporting many buckles and zippers, are popular. A modified version, often lined with metal studs, was worn by The Ramones and British punk rockers in the 1970s. Designers like Christian Dior and Gucci add details to fitted leather jackets, such as as intricate stitching. In 2008, some designers came out with leather jackets in asymmetrical cuts, giving an old classic a fashionable edge. Some leather jackets come hooded, with zip-off sleeves, in distressed leather or lined. Vintage leather jackets can be the most fun to own, because they come with a history as well as a lower price tag. For new leather jackets, you may be able to find something in the $150 range. At the high end, some people shell out $1,000 for a leather jacket. It's a far cry from the $7 price tag for a leather jacket in the 1950s. There are many benefits to a well-made leather jacket. It's ideal protection against wind, light rain, and the chill of late autumn. Motorcyclists wear them not just to look cool, but because they are decent protection of the torso and arms if the rider falls of his bike. If they are made of quality leather, they last for forever, and only look better as they age. Leather jackets are adaptable, the perfect canvas for punk band logos or designer labels. Best of all, a good leather jacket is always in style. A cheap leather jacket can ultimately be disappointing. The stitching may come out but, even worse, the cheaper leather stays stiff after many wearings, and the suppleness of worn leather is one of a leather jacket's greatest advantages. Cheap leather can carry an unmistakable squeak when you move, which can be a turn-off. It also can have the sheen of plastic as opposed to the deeper radiance of leather. Cheap Belstaff Outlet

Buy authentic and discount Cheap Belstaff Outlet the lowest prices, fast free ship this season How to Remove Mildew from Leather Jackets and Leather Products How do you remove mildew from a leather jacket? How do you remove mildew smell from leather? What about cleaning mildew from leather? Since I run my own leather jacket website I get asked these questions a lot. Today I'll tell you how to get rid of mildew on leather jackets, or anything leather for that matter. Of course the best thing is to prevent it from forming in the first place. So lets see just why mildew forms on leather in the first place. Ironically, most of the reason why mildew forms on leather has nothing to do with the leather itself, but the oils you put on it to keep it soft and in good shape. The worst thing you can do is put too much oil, or rather leather conditioner, on your leather jacket or item. Leather needs oils to lubricate the leather fibers to stop them drying out and cracking. But if you put too much on, or use heavy junk, then the leather can't breath. Soon moisture forms in the leather and oil, and mildew forms. You may notice that mildew often forms around seams, studs, snaps and places like that. That's because when you put leather conditioner on it's easy to let too much build up in those cracks and corners. So you end up with a pool of oil in those areas, stopping the leather from breathing and forming mildew. When you put leather conditioner on it's important to make sure you don't let it build up in those areas. Leather braids are another problem area for that. Just remember a little oil goes a long way with leather. Another common way to get mildew forming in your jacket is when you store it away for a long time. A dark, humid closet is a fun factory for mildew! Never put your leather jacket in plastic, and try to keep it so it's not jammed tight against other clothes, try to keep some air going around it. So lets say you did store a leather jacket in a closet for 6 months, and now it smells like mildew, maybe even has mildew spots. Well in a case like that, the best way to fix it is take it to a professional leather cleaner. That may sound like a cop out, but it's the best way to get it cleaned. Ask your local dry cleaners if they know how to clean leather items. But lets say you want to try to fix it yourself, fine. first hang it out in a sunny spot and let it dry and bake for a few hours. Then mix up a 50/50 mix of water and rubbing alcohol. If you can actually see mold, brush off what you can, but don't force it. Take a clean washcloth and rub the mixture all over the leather jacket. Make sure you get it in those cracks and corners. Let it dry, then if you still see mildew try brushing it off and do the whole treatment again. Light colored leather may get discolored doing this, or darker. Now take some leather cleaner like saddle soap, and clean the whole leather item. If it's a leather jacket you want to pull the sleeves inside out and treat those too. Then let it dry once again. By now all the mildew should be gone and it should smell better. Doing all that has now stripped the leather item of oils, so you need to apply leather conditioner. BUT REMEMBER, the oils in the conditioner are what makes the mildew in the first place! You DO need to apply it, as it protects the leather fibers. But don't put too much on, use a light coat and rub it in well. Once done make sure you wipe off ALL the excess. Use a toothbrush on the seams and cracks to get it all off. Now if it's just one spot or so on your leather item, you do the same thing but just on that spot. Dry it, brush off the mildew, wipe with that mixture, dry it again, repeat if you have to, clean it with leather cleaner, and apply leather conditioner LIGHTLY! So lets recap everything. To prevent mildew on leather jackets, don't use too much leather conditioner, which is oil. Don't let it build up in cracks and seams. Store your leather jacket without any plastic over it, try to store in a dry spot and let air circulate around it. Of course make sure it's dry before storing. If you do get mildew on your leather jacket, try to take it to a leather cleaner, they do a great job. To do it yourself, use the instructions above. Now, a light colored leather may get discolored or darker if you use the above method. So, try to take it to a cleaner. You may notice I don't mention any brand names for the cleaners or conditioners. That's because I'm trying to not push any product. Any good leather jacket apparel or motorcycle jacket store should have plenty of good brands of leather cleaners and conditioners. Use it all lightly, and avoid any heavy or greasy looking conditioner. So that's how you prevent and remove mildew from leather jackets and other leather apparel and items!.
