Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children
Truly, the perfect book for Halloween. A spooky story interspersed with photos of the strange and macabre variety. The best part about the photos in particular is they are authentic. Old creepy pictures = awesome.

I Was A Pre-Pubescent Egg Monster
Just a quick tidbit: I found a diary entry from when I was about 9 or so in which I wrote that I was currently reading Egg Monsters From Mars (one of the more illustrious Goosebumps books) and how it was NON FICTION. I obviously knew something no-one else knew. That, or I was just plain stupid.
Wasn't I a doll? Watch me leak!

No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more. Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.

Thinking of something to post here everyday is surprisingly difficult. And on this particular day, I am feeling particularly brain dead. Speaking of brains...
...he wants 'em.
Happy Tuesday.

Good Old-Fashioned Mindless Fun
You Are Spooky
You put the trick in "trick or treat," and you won't stop scaring people until you scare yourself.
You love horror movies, dark spooky nights, and the darker side of Halloween. You save the kids' stuff for the kids.
Speaking of kids, you avoid the little candy grubbing monsters at all costs. Well, unless you are looking to give them a little scare.
You think Halloween has gotten a bit to sugary these days, and you don't mind injecting a little fright into things.
Your Zombie Name is Scrape
You Are a Satanic Horror Movie
There's no one scarier than the devil, and even just thinking about him (or her???) makes you shiver.
You are obsessed with the idea of evil, and unlike your typical horror movie, the devil isn't someone you can just kill at the end.
Even if you aren't religious now, it's likely that you come from a religious background and still think of the world in those terms.
Your favorite movies explore the idea of satanic influence... stuff like Rosemary's Baby, The Omen, and the Exorcist.
Which Horrible Affliction are you?

Freaks (1932)
The Strangest... The Most Startling Human Story Ever Screened... Are You Afraid To Believe What Your Eyes See?
I love this movie. I often feel ashamed of loving this movie (for the obvious reasons). But I don't love it because I enjoy gawking at the uniquely bodied. I love it because it's the ultimate REVENGE. Plus, I have a soft spot for all of these characters, particularly Hans and Frieda (real life brother and sister).

The Ballad of Barbara Allen
In Scarlet town, where I was born,
There was a fair maid dwelling,
Made every youth cry well-away!
Her name was Barbara Allen.
All in the merry month of May,
When green buds they were swelling,
Young William on his death-bed lay,
For love of Barbara Allen.
He sent his man unto her then,
To the town, where she was dwelling;
"You must come to my master dear,
If your name be Barbara Allen.
"For death is printed on his face,
And ore his heart is stealing:
Then haste away to comfort him,
O lovely Barbara Allen."
"Though death be printed on his face,
And ore his heart is stealing,
Yet little better shall he be,
For bonny Barbara Allen."
So slowly, slowly, she came up,
And slowly she came nigh him;
And all she said, when there she came:
"Young man, I think you're dying."
He turned his face unto her straight,
With deadly sorrow sighing;
"O lovely maid, come pity me,
I'm on my death-bed lyin'."
"If on your death-bed you do lie,
What needs the tale you're telling?
I cannot keep you from your death;
Farewell," said Barbara Allen.
He turned his face unto the wall,
As deadly pangs he fell in:
"Adieu! adieu! adieu to you all,
Adieu to Barbara Allen."
As she was walking o'er the fields,
She heard the bell a knelling;
And every stroke did seem to say,
"Unworthy Barbara Allen."
She turned her body round about,
And spied the corpse a coming:
"Lay down, lay down the corpse," she said,
"That I may look upon him."
With scornful eye she looked down,
Her cheek with laughter swelling;
That all her friends cried out amain,
"Unworthy Barbara Allen."
When he was dead, and laid in grave,
Her heart was struck with sorrow,
"O mother, mother, make my bed,
For I shall die tomorrow."
Hard-hearted creature, him to slight,
Who loved me so dearly;
O that I had been more kind to him,
When he was live and near me!"
She, on her death-bed as she lay,
Begged to be buried by him;
And sore repented of the day
That she did ere deny him.
"Farewell," she said, "ye virgins all,
And shun the fault I fell in:
Henceforth take warning by the fall
Of cruel Barbara Allen.
*This is a 17th century Scottish ballad so it isn't the most terrifying thing in the world. But it's still a little unsettling. And you've got to love the lesson behind it: treat people as you want to be treated or you'll be worm food sooner rather than later.*

~ October, My Sweet ~
In honor of the greatest month of the year (do not question this) I will be doing a horror related post EVERY FREAKING DAY (starting tomorrow) of the month. No, it won't be related to Fear Street very often, but that rat hole will always be there. Anyway, I have no idea what each post will be about, but it'll be all scary and such. And I know how much you love that. Right? RIGHT?!? Right. Now gaze into the non-eyes of this jack-o-lantern and lose yourself in the Octoberian magic.
(Or just go back to whatever you were doing before you started reading this. Your choice. *cough*the terrorists win when you ignore magical jack-o-lanterns*cough*)

Mandatory Syllabus Policies
The following policy statements about Title IX, ADA accommodations, and Academic Integrity have been approved by the university counsel and should be included in all university syllabi.
Title IX:
Americans with Disabilities Act:
Academic Integrity: (undergraduate course version)
All Mississippi University for Women students are expected to engage honestly and responsibly in their academic work and to refrain from any dishonest academic behavior. Violations of Academic Integrity include cheating, plagiarism, fabrication, falsification, or other actions that violate commonly accepted intellectual and ethical standards within academic and scientific communities. Violations of Academic Integrity can lead to severe penalties, from a zero grade for a test or assignment to expulsion from the University. Academic Integrity applies to work in progress as well as completed work. If you are uncertain about the proper procedure to follow when citing a source, working in a team with other students, or any other coursework situation please ask your instructor, a librarian, or a resource like the Writing Center for help. To learn more about the university's standards of Academic Integrity, including what happens if your instructor believes that you have engaged in dishonest academic behavior and your rights to appeal such a charge, please consult section 7.2 of the Undergraduate Bulletin.

To learn more about the university's standards of Academic Integrity, including what happens if your instructor believes that you have engaged in dishonest academic behavior and your rights to appeal such a charge, please consult section 7.4 of the Graduate Bulletin.
Samples of Additional Recommended Syllabus Policies
While not required, we recommend that you consider adding course policies to your syllabi addressing some or all of the following items as you deem appropriate for your discipline and course. Samples of policy statements from MUW faculty have been used with permission to offer suggestions for your individual adaptation and use. Topics include: Academic Integrity and Plagiarism; Attendance; Canvas; Change of Syllabus; Classroom Ettiquette; Late or Missed Work; Use of Technology
Please check with your department chair to see if there are any college or departmental standards which may supersede these examples.
Academic Integrity and Plagiarism
Please note that I take issues of academic and personal honesty very seriously. Any form of cheating, plagiarism, or other forms of dishonesty will be dealt with as severely as allowed under the MUW guidelines. Any discovery of academic dishonesty will result in a grade of zero for the assignment and a report to the Academic Standards Board for possible further disciplinary action. More severe cases may result in failure of the course itself. You can learn more about plagiarism, other forms of academic dishonesty, and MUW policies in the university bulletin (available on the registrar's website and linked in Canvas). Remember that you can review the guidelines about avoiding plagiarism any time at the website where you will take your initial Plagiarism Tutorial and Quizzes at the beginning of the semester. You may also speak with the staff in the Writing Center or me about any lingering questions you may have.
I expect all of my students to adhere to the highest standards of academic and personal honesty. Cheating, plagiarism, and other dishonest practices will be punished as much as MUW policies allow. The consequence for a finding of academic dishonesty is zero points for the assignment and notification of the department chair and dean. Plagiarism refers to the reproduction of another's words or ideas without proper attribution. The university bulletin contains further information on dishonesty.
Attendance is required. You are required to attend 50% of all classes; if you miss more than this percentage, you will fail this course. No distinction will be made for excused or unexcused absences. If you are absent for any reason, you will be counted absent. Attendance will be taken at the beginning of the course, so be on time. Those habitually late will find that they are counted absent. All reporting and attendance policies of the university will be followed.
This course will cover a lot of ground very quickly and the exams will draw from all class material: readings, lectures, and classroom discussion. As a result, attendance and class participation are essential components of your grade. Per departmental policy, students must attend at least 75% of class meetings to earn credit for a course. Absences beyond that amount will result in failure of the course. I make no distinction between "excused" and "unexcused" absences; if you are not present when class begins, then you will be counted as absent. However, if you know you will be absent from class due to an illness, university service, or other planned event, please do to let me know ahead of time. If you are absent for any reason you will still be responsible for any material you missed, so please be sure to do the reading, borrow notes from a classmate, and speak with me if you have any questions about what was covered that day.
Canvas will be used as a repository for all course handouts, assignment instructions, exam review sheets, and for some required and supplementary readings. You are encouraged to submit your written assignments through Canvas rather than by email or turning in a hard copy. I will also use Canvas to alert the class to any changes to our syllabus, readings, or schedule. Therefore, it is important that you check Canvas regularly and that you make sure that you have not altered your notification settings to the point that you will not be alerted to any updates. To check your update your notification preferences click on the "Account" icon in the left-hand navigation menu and select "Notifications." If you experience any difficulties with Canvas remember that you can access free assistance 24/7 by calling 844-747-4606 or via live chat with a Canvas representative by clicking "Help" in the lower left-hand corner of your Canvas screen.
Change of Syllabus
In the event of a major campus emergency or at the instructor's discretion, the above requirements, deadlines and grading policies are subject to changes that may be required by a revised semester calendar. Any such changes in this course will be posted, once the course resumes, on the course website or can be obtained by contacting me via email or phone.
Classroom Etiquette
Basic "rules of respect" will be observed at all times in this course. Throughout our time together we will discuss highly sensitive subject matters, including issues of race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, religion, and politics. Since history is open to multiple interpretations, disagreement is fine – but disagreements are to be grounded in historical interpretation and facts. They must be targeted at ideas and they must be delivered respectfully. Personal attacks will not be tolerated and neither will editorial comments that are not grounded in historical sources.
Late or Missed Work
Homework: Completed homework can be submitted one class period late, at the beginning of class, for partial credit. Incomplete homework will not be accepted, nor will complete homework more than one class late.
Quizzes: The daily quiz always takes place from 10:00am to 10:05am. Students who arrive late still must turn in their quiz at 10:05. There will not be any opportunities to make up missed quizzes. In lieu of retakes, every student will have their three lowest quiz grades dropped at the end of the semester.
Exams: There will be one opportunity to retake a missed exam: the last day of classes from 2:00pm to 5:00pm. Only one exam can be retaken.
Let's face it: technology breaks. Servers go down, transfers time out, files become corrupt. The list goes on and on. These are not considered emergencies. They are part of the normal production process. An issue you may have with technology is no excuse for late work. You need to protect yourself by managing your time and backing up your work.
Late assignments will be docked a half-letter grade (e.g. A- to B+) for every day they are late. Points will continue to be deducted even after a grade of "F" is reached. Absence from class on the due date does not automatically mean I will accept the assignment without penalty, so please make sure that you get in touch with me if you know you will be absent.
Two-Step Authentication
The W requires that all students in online courses complete the two-step authentication process to confirm their identities. You completed the first step when you logged into Canvas with your MUW ID and password. For our class, the second step is (assignment) due on (date). You are responsible for any fee(s) related to second authentication method. If you fail to complete the required second step of student authentication by the date of the final exam, then the you will fail the course regardless of your academic performance in the class.
Use of Technology
You are welcome to use a tablet, laptop, or similar device to save the cost of printing out online readings or for taking notes. However, cell phones, tablets, and laptops using wifi connections distract you and the people around you. Using them during class for anything other than legitimate class purposes disrespects me and your classmates, so if you know that you will be tempted to use them for other purposes please turn them off before class begins. If your phone rings during class or I notice you texting, there will be consequences. If you have a particular personal or family circumstance which necessitates you leaving your phone on during class, please let me know ahead of time.
Computers, tablets and smartphones may not be used in the classroom. Laptops and tablets must be stowed in backpacks or under desks for the duration of class, while phones must be turned off.
All cell phones and other unapproved electronic devices must be turned off before class starts. No student should be texting or checking their texts during class. Laptop computers are permitted, but are only to be used for taking notes. They are not to be used for checking your email, Facebook, Twitter or any other non-course related materials. I reserve the right to eject students from the classroom for disruptive or disrespectful behavior. Do not record lectures on any device without express permission from me.
Student Support Services Syllabus Statements
Early Alert
The Early Alert Program is a proactive system of communication and collaboration between faculty, Student Success Center staff, and students. The program promotes academic success by identifying students experiencing difficulty with courses, encouraging students to attend classes and actively participate, providing resources as a support system to assist students holistically, and developing a mindset that leads to further academic success.
Students whose midterm GPA falls below a 2.0 will have a hold place on their Banner account. The Early Alert hold serves as an opportunity for students to seek advice from their Student Success Navigator. Students are required to meet with their Student Success Navigator to work on an academic plan for student success. Once these meetings are held, the student's Early Alert hold will be released by the Student Success Center.
Math Lab
The Math Lab provides students in Intermediate and College Algebra with access to tutoring and to the Hawkes Learning System Software used for homework and tests. Located in 402 Reneau Hall, the lab is generally staffed by student tutors between the hours of 10:00-5:00 Monday through Thursday during the fall and spring semesters. Specific hours and further information can be found here: www.muw.edu/as/scimath/math/mathlab
Student Success Center
If you need help with study skills, tutoring, disability accommodations, test proctoring, or other acdemic support please contact the Student Success Center for assistance. You can find them on the first floor of Reneau Hall or online at www.muw.edu/ssc
All MUW students are eligible for two FREE hours of tutoring per week in up to two courses through the Student Success Center. To connect with a tutor, please submit the tutor request form on the Student Success Center's website: www.muw.edu/ssc/tutoring/request
Writing Center
Students who are concerned about the writing components of this course should take advantage of the wonderful resources in the Writing Center. Located in Painter 106, the center is open for walk-ins and face-to-face or online appointments. You can look for assistance at any stage of the writing process, but remember that the tutors are not there to write your paper for you or to simply proofread your work. Opening hours can be found posted on the Writing Center's website: http://www.muw.edu/centers/writing

Start reading the first chapter of Robert Lautner's The Draughtsman
The woman at the desk wishes me good morning. She looks like she has been up for hours, fresh and beaming, and I am sure not the same woman I saw last week. My eyes weeping from my walk, worse because they are such a pale blue. Almost an old man's eyes. An annoyance all my life. Too sensitive to sunlight and wind.
From the clock behind her I am five minutes early. Good, but I realise this is probably where my employers and directors also enter for their work. An anxiety about this. I would rather meet them at my desk in white-coat than in my shiny suit and worn hat.
'Can I help you, sir?'
She asks so delightfully that I almost do not understand the words. I give her my employment letter.
'Ernst Beck,' I said. 'Hired by Herr Prüfer.'
She asks me to take a seat and presses a telephone.
The chairs are modern. Sweeping chrome and fine leather, more comfortable than my armchair at home. I leaf through technical magazines laid on a low glass and chrome table, one eye to the door to get ready to stand if an expensive suit approaches. But I suppose, with relief, that maybe directors and owners do not get into work so early.
I hear the clack of smart shoes coming from the marble staircase, hurried but rhythmical, like the wearer is dancing down not to meet me but Ginger Rogers.
The gleaming black wing-tips appear, then a suit I do not think I could ever afford. The cloth so black he seems fluid, fl oats to me like a wraith.
He held out his hand as I stood and bowed, lower than I intended.
'Herr Beck. I am Hans Klein. So pleased to meet you,' he ushered me to the stairs. 'I should get you a pass for
your car so it does not get mistaken.'
I do not mention that Klein is also my landlady's name.
'No need, Herr Klein. I only live across from the station. I walked.'
'Oh. Really? Good. I live in Weimar myself. Not in the city. In the country. I apologise. It is my fault to assume that everyone drives to work. I suppose we have many local people here. This way, please.' He led me up the stairs, talking effortlessly as he went with his dancer's feet and I struggled to keep up.
'Come to my office, Herr Beck. I will acquaint you with the nature of things. No need to worry on your first day.
No-one is to expect much of you. Just relax and enjoy. This is why we start you on Thursday. Today and tomorrow you are to familiarise yourself with the department, meet everyone, and we can start you in earnest on Monday.' We reached the third floor and he smiled as he waited for me to gain. 'In earnest . . . Ernst.' He laughed. 'Earnest Ernst. Quite a quip, no?'
His talk as smooth as his suit.
'Yes, sir.' It was then I saw the lift, and he noticed, seemed pleased with my crestfallen look He was not much older but assured in exactly the same way that I am not. If I enter a bar or café I wait patiently until I am attended to. He is one who snaps his fingers and calls.
'Ah. I forget the lift. I always take the stairs. I drive so much. I take the opportunity to exercise whenever I can.
No need for you, of course, walking everywhere as you do. I am envious of you for that. Come.'
He walked beside me, his arm against my back. I tried to place where I had seen his face before, and then it came. It was in his smile. All teeth. It was Conrad Veidt, an actor, in a film I had seen as a boy. Veidt had left for America with his Jewish wife. He had terrified me as a child in a film. A man who could only grin, ear to ear after a horrible torture to his face. A Victor Hugo book. I thought it would be an adventure, like his other books. It was not. The film ran through my mind in an instant. A silent film. The first card of speech in front of me again:
'Jester to the king. But all his jests were cruel, and all his smiles were false.'
I was to ask him about his position when we came to his frosted glass door with the gold lettering.
'Hans Klein. Director of Operations. D IV.'
He reached across me to open the door and waved me in before him. 'Please, Ernst. After you.' Herr Beck now left downstairs.
He was behind his desk before I reached a chair and I stood beside it while he popped open a metal orb on his desk and dozens of cigarettes fanned out from underneath its top. He took one and an onyx table-lighter and I stood and waited for him to light it and he let me stand while he did so. Three strikes of the lighter and three puff s before he noticed me again. Camels. I could smell they were Camels. Not our cheap German Kamels but actual American. I was not sure if American Camels were black-market. Surely not. Just rare now. Expensive now.
'Oh. Excuse my manners, Ernst. Please take a seat. I am so often on my own here – excepting meeting with Topf – that I sometimes forget myself with my staff.
'He said, 'Topf'. Not 'Herr Topf'.
'Cigarette?' He waited until I was seated to offer. I would have to stand to take one.
'No thank you, sir.' He closed the orb, the cigarettes drawing in magically.
'Please. Call me Herr Klein. No formalities on my floor. Do you not smoke? I can smell it on you? Or maybe it is just from walking through the station and the streets?'
'Yes, but I did not know whether . . . I did not know the rules for the building. I am so used to the ban.'
He took his black leather chair, his suit disappearing within.
'Fortunately we are not a public building yet. I do not travel publicly so I suppose the smoking ban does not bother. Although we have many contracts with the SS so I would not smoke around them should you see them, or around Prüfer or Topf who are Party members. And you are not permitted to smoke on the draft floors or public areas.' He leaned back, put his feet up on something I could not see and exhaled hugely. 'Coffee?'
'No, thank you. Unless you are having one, Herr Klein?'
'I never drink coffee.' He waved his cigarette. 'I find it disagrees with my Martinis!'
That grin again. I did want coffee. I was lucky if I could afford three cups a week. To be offered it free and to turn it down. Still, my first day. Be a polite fool. These were successful men. Confident men. Not in war. Ernst Beck the young one amongst them. The apprentice. These were not people I knew, not my world.
As a boy I played football – my father's encouragement – before the first war that was all the entertainment he had. Football a German invention to him. A game that marked towns above each other more than harvest.
I played on the wing, but would always want to be a striker, every boy did. Sometimes we would play against the boys from Weimar, the richer boys. Weimar paid for us to play. Bought our footballs, bought our kit.
'Let them win,' my father would say. 'Ernst. Play the game.' His finger stern above me, bent to me, breath like stale meat. 'Do not be the hero. We are not here to always score goals. To win. If we always beat them too much less money they will give. Do you want to play next year or win today? What is for the better?'
The polite fool. Know what you will gain. And what you will lose. The democracy of the football match. Sometimes you cannot afford to be the best team. But you will play next year. I could have scored fi ve times against those Weimar boys. Sometimes a goal is just a goal. Two posts without a net.
'It is polite,' my father would say. 'You win by making it better for next year. By losing today. By abiding.'
I became a good German because of that. Got new kit the next year. Played the game.
'Do you have your identification card?' He put out his hand. I fumbled inside my jacket, gave across the rough cardboard we all hated to carry. Not obliged to carry. Preferred. It would go back in a drawer that evening. I had been asked to bring it. Normal to be copied for employment purposes.
'Thank you, Ernst. I'll have it back to you today.' He did not put it away, placed it on his desk, and then it sat between us like a brick. 'You'll be given a worker's pass as an alternative to use.' He blew his smoke towards me. 'I have looked over your qualifications. Prüfer and Sander are sure you will be competent. Understand that we have lost a great deal of men to the service over the years. We have to make do with less experienced men, but it is a great opportunity for yourself. I hope you understand?'
'It is the opportunity I seek and am grateful for, Herr Klein. I will do my best.' Polite fool.
'You will have to. These recent months we are often using prisoners from the camps, from Buchenwald, so the plans are ever simpler and of cheaper construction for them to comprehend. Still, the labour is cheap.' He put out his stub that I would consider not done. 'I believe that Sander – you will meet him tomorrow – is most looking forward for you to work on his new designs. They are patented but need . . . clarifying. To be presented to the SS. His originals are too complicated for the layman. We need someone to present them efficiently and more simplified. With our shortened workforce all our best draughtsmen are working on the malt works and silos and they have been with the designs for years so that is where our best men need to be. Which is why we have hired yourself, Ernst.'
I straightened in my seat.
'Am I not to be working for the silo department?'
'No. Sander is our chief designer for the crematoria. My department. "Special Ovens." Our smallest department. The smallest part of our business. But we are one of the foremost in the world. And getting ever busier, thanks to the SS. The more camps they build the more ovens they need. And because they want them so cheap they are always wanting repairs. Repeat business. The best business. Prüfer and the engineers are always fixing something at Auschwitz or Buchenwald and beyond. I limit myself to Buchenwald if I can.' He stood and I followed. 'Come. I will show you the floor. Not the floor with the skylights I'm afraid. That is for our top draughtsmen. But the second floor is pleasant enough. There is a fine view of the hills. All day you can see the smoke from Buchenwald rising to them. It is a pleasant room.' His hand on my back again, his other already on the door.

Currently there is a study being conducted that many of us participated in the survey portion of it. Though the wording is formed in a traditional definition to amnesty, the reality behind it is that it has began to bring into conversation the divisive nature of mishandled conservation ideals. What is going to become prevalent in the future conversations, as to the rights of Citizen Scientist, is that it takes the whole of a society to best serve its history.
Many of us in the collector community have become disenfranchised and persecuted by heavy handed enforcement and legal intimidation. Many of the partnerships of the past have been the very snares of today. It is no surprise that many have become mistrusting of the professional archaeological community and their impact on politics and legislation. When your resource source is governmental funding, it is no wonder there are efforts to squash groups that serve Archaeology with no impact on taxation. Even then, for a healthy uncovering of the historic record, we need both professional and amateur in collaboration.
To make that reality, we can no longer relate one to the other in verbal agreement alone, for the only ones that are in risk of legal ramifications when the agenda of tolerance shifts is the very citizens the collaborative Historic record is intended to enculturate. Like it or not, getting laws redrafted that require unbias partnerships is the only viable solution for a healthy future in Florida's Archaeology. That is what we are doing in TSAS. We are legally positioning new translation in law and exposing the strong bias and endangering postures of governmentally funded professionals. We are fighting for a healthy coexistence.
You can influence change in so many ways, so continue to do what you can, when you can. Please become a partner with our political efforts by becoming a Legal Advocacy Fund Sustainer.
Thanks for the continued support.

I meant to post this last week, but getting the family ready for our annual New Hampshire vacation took more time than I thought it would...
Now we are back in Brooklyn and, with my Father's Day Cheesecake in the oven, I have some time to catch up on some posting.
We had our first CSA pick-up from the Greenwood Heights CSA last weekend. In addition to garlic scapes, radishes, baby lettuce and bok choi, I got a big bunch of kale.
My first thought was to make kale chips but somewhere in the back of my head I heard the word 'bor-rring.' I've made kale chips one time too many. My next thought was to make some sort of kale pesto. Not a bad thought, but I have (what seems like) a gazillion gallons of arugula pesto in the fridge and the freezer.
Then I remembered a kale recipe in my spring/summer bible, Heidi Swanson's Super Natural Food Every Day. So, I went ahead with it.
I really liked the use of farro and coconut-- and it's a nice combination that I don't think I've seen before. The recipe was also easy enough to make.
The recipe also made enough for more than one sitting, so I brought my leftovers on a play-date/picnic that I had at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens with one of Otis's closest friends. Healthy, seasonal, good flavor...perfect.
Note: I couldn't find unsweetened large-flake coconut so I used 1 1/2 cup of shredded unsweetened coconut- not too large and not too fine...somewhere in between. Super Natural recommends 1/2 cup (1.5 oz) of finely shredded unsweetened coconut if you can't find the large-flake. Adjust it to your liking.
Kale Salad (Courtesy of Heidi Swanson's Super Natural Every Day)
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons shoyu, tamari or soy sauce
3 1/2 lightly packed cups chopped kale, stems trimmed, large ribs removed
1 1/2 cups unsweetened large-flake coconut
2 cups cooked farro or other whole grain like wild rice or quinoa...I'd go with the farro. [1 cup dried made about 2 1/2 cups cooked. Directions for preparing farro below.]
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees with two racks in the top third of the oven.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk or shake together the olive oil, sesame oil, and shoyu or soy sauce. Put the kale and coconut in a large bowl and toss well with about two-thirds of the olive oil mixture.
Spread the kale evenly across two baking sheets. Bake for 12-18 minutes, until the coconut is deeply golden brown, tossing once or twice along the way. If the kale mixture on the top baking sheet begins to get too browned, move it to a lower rack.
Remove from the oven and transfer the kale mixture to a medium bowl. Taste. If you feel it needs a bit more dressing, add some and toss. Place the farro on a serving platter or bowl and top with the tossed kale. Serve warm.
This goes great with some grilled tofu or over a bowl of soba noddles.
Cooking Farro from Food & Wine in Seattle Times: 1 cup whole-grain Italian farro; 2 quarts of boiling salted water. Rinse farro in a strainer under cold running water. Have the salted water boiling in a 6-quart pot. Drop in the farro, stir and get water to a steady, lively simmer. Partially cover the pot and cook 30 to 45 minutes, or until tender. [Check to make sure the water doesn't evaporate completely. If it does, add more water as needed.] Drain the farro in a sieve. Eat hot or at room temperature, seasoning to taste.
Happy Father's Day!

By On Apr 29, 2018 Coloring Pages
Just remember, you don't have to finish your coloring page in one sitting. If you are looking to produce the best finish possible to your coloring page then don't rush it! Spend multiple sittings, or carve out a couple of hours, but just breathe and take your coloring slow. You aren't working to a deadline and there is no boss to please (other than you!). The only rule you have is to relax, lose yourself in the page and lay down some color.
Start your coloring journey in small steps, think about block coloring using pen or pencil. This will give you the basic skills of applying color to the page and get you comfortable with the techniques to control your pen or pencils and stick within the lines. Then treat yourself to a refresher on color palettes, remind yourself about the color wheel and how certain colors work better together than others. Even take a look at how different colors can evoke different moods and feelings when used in a coloring page.
Often, when I am in the mood to produce a highly finished piece I will look for a themed coloring page, like an animal, ocean or floral scene. The idea of taking that black and white scene and transforming it into a colorful piece of art motivates me to produce my best coloring.

World Voice Day 2015
"The voice provides the main tool for both semantic and emotional communication, and is therefore relevant to auditory perception, psychology, neurology, cognition, linguistics and phonetics. It is a crucial tool not only in education but also in the daily work for about 30% of the entire working population."
Voice Matters, World Voice Day
April 16 is World Voice Day - a day to celebrate the power and affect of the human voice. There are two World Voice Day events happening in Sydney, beginning this weekend:
This year the Australian Voice Association is celebrating World Voice Day with an educational event aimed at singers. Guests will explore how to maintain a healthy voice when singing with presentations from ENT Jonathan Livesey, speech pathologist Cate Madill and voice teacher Rowena Cowley. Old Teachers College at The University of Sydney, Thursday 16 April, 6pm, entry by gold coin donation. Register here.
Plus "Sing it Sydney" will take over the Paddington Town Hall on Sunday 12 April from 4pm, with performances from the Sydney Street Choir and other local acts. Entry by gold coin donation. More info is here!
Happy World Voice Day!

It is said that the Vikings were valiant warriors who utilized axes, swords, spears, and knives while raiding land. The Viking warrior from Denmark, Mikkel Kessler wasn't any less valiant in his career than the Vikings of the past, though his weaponry did differ. His arsenal, which included jabs, hooks, uppercuts, and straights got the job done, all but three times. One of these three occasions was to an undefeated legend named Joe Calzaghe, another was an avenged loss by Carl Froch, who one could make the argument for Kessler, as being past his best days.
Now the third opponent is the one that may help define Kessler's career, one that is difficult to do so? So just how great was Mikkel Kessler? A fight against a prime Kelly Pavlik, coming off wins of Jermain Taylor, would have definitely added a plot point to his narrative, or even a fight against then young Andre Dirrell. As of now, Kessler is stuck somewhere in between good and great, as he is better known for his failure to colonize British land and American soil, than what he had accomplished with his fist.
So what becomes of him? Well, once Kessler fans decide to accept his defeat to Andre Ward as not some American treachery, but as a masterful performance by the Son of God himself, then all things will become clear. With Calzaghe and Froch's boxing tenure already defined, Ward's greatness is still building. The further Ward goes in his career, the stronger the vessel that will help The Viking Warrior enter the festive and glorious realm of Valhalla.
Celebrate the career of The Viking Warrior, by burying the hatchet, and embrace S.O.G's greatness.

text: I've gathered quite a few feed sacks and have started the quilt. Decided on a simple 9 patch and the finished block will be 12" because I wanted the pieces large enough to really appreciate the fabric. I need to decide what I want to use for sashing before I go any further. Should I use the feed sacks that aren't in the blocks for sashing to make a really scrappy looking type quilt or use all of the feed sacks in the blocks and use muslin as the sashing? Would the muslin make things stand out too much? What do you think? How wide would you make the sashing?

"My colleagues fed back on how much they enjoyed the session and that it was really interesting, we all found it thought provoking and good to step away from our desks to think about this specific subject. Whilst we try to be inclusive, your session gave us lots more ideas about varying differences we could include in future to be more representative, and crucially how to do so in subtle ways."
Laura Christie, Head of Operations/Sales Development, Carlton Publishing Group
"We've always considered ourselves to be inclusive, but Beth and Alex have helped us achieve our inclusive and diverse remit in a more far-reaching and comprehensive way. As a matter of course, we now include them in our editorial process for every book that we publish. They are always prompt with their responses, make additional suggestions and carry out extensive research to make sure all references are up to date. As we do not yet have the resources to do this work in-house, they have become an essential part of our extended team."
Neil Burden, Publisher, Child's Play (International) Ltd.
"Working with Inclusive Minds has opened my eyes to the myriad decisions in a book's creation that determine its accessibility. From discussions around typefaces and spots colours, to shaping the messages embedded in a book's text and artwork, their advice and feedback has heightened my awareness of what contributes to a book being truly inclusive."
Anna Ridley, Commissioning Editor, Children's Books, Tate Publishing
"The final checking of Tender Earth from Inclusive Minds has been a really fascinating process for me as an author. The insight and subtle suggestions you have made throughout the manuscript have enabled me to make changes that I know will allow young people of all the diverse backgrounds in my story to see and feel themselves represented with respect, empathy and understanding. Often the edits required are small in word changes but enormous in the impact that the story can have in allowing young people to feel present and that their experience whether of disability or coming from diverse backgrounds can have in their reading of the story, and in reader's understanding of their own lives. I spoke to and researched aspects of this book with many young people and I want each and every one of them to feel their potential in the pages of my story. The process of working with Inclusive Minds on this final draft of my story Tender Earth has accessed for me what I would like readers to gain from my story... an opening of minds."
Sita Brahmachari, Author
"Your expertise has been invaluable to us in planning one of our forthcoming titles. Your careful eyes and methodical journey through the illustrations — the words and worlds we had chosen to show in pictures — ensured that the book worked inclusively at every level.The team at Barefoot would welcome more of your expertise, both in our editorial work and to open the studio and our Barefoot world to as many children and families as possible."
Katie Livesey, Commissioning Editor, Barefoot Books
"The material provided is current and informative. More than this, the way it is presented is engaging and stimulating. As a training provider, Inclusive Minds delivers the knowledge needed to enable staff to work effectively and confidently in this area of publishing.."
Dr. Sally Hughes, Principal Lecturer in Publishing

Who is the actor in this photograph?
You probably won't know his name, but you may be able to figure out who he is.
Spotting that it's The Shawshank Redemption is relatively easy.
Spotting that Ellis Redding was the character played by Morgan Freeman is tougher.
Figuring out that this photo of Red at the start of his time at Shawshank is actually a photo of Morgan Freeman's son Alfonso, is what gets you full points at iQ Trivia.

If your house is like mine, your pre- and post-Easter refrigerator is overflowing with colorful, spotted, striped, and sticker-covered hard-boiled eggs. If your kids are like mine, they will be more inclined to eat healthy food if it looks yummy and is presented in a clever manner.
Today, I have an egg-tastic snack that will help rid your fridge of all those extra eggs, and keep your kids happy: egg salad flower cups that I like to call "egg blooms."
Egg Salad Flower Cups in Full Bloom
A great way to use up those extra hard-boiled Easter eggs!
- Favorite egg salad*: 1½ cups
- Toppings such as paprika and chives: for garnish
- Pillsbury Crescent Rolls: 1 package
- celery sticks: 12, large
- Flower cookie cutter: 1
- Muffin tin: 1
Step 1: Make egg salad and chill in the fridge.
Step 2: Roll out the crescent roll dough. Press together all the seams.
Step 3: Press the flower shaped cookie cutter into the dough. You should be able to make 12 "cups" with one can of crescent rolls. If you have a small cookie cutter, you can use a mini muffin pan and double it.
Step 4: Gently press the center of the flower into the muffin tins. Make sure the center of the flower is on the base of the tin and the petals are spread out evenly along the sides.
Step 5: Bake according to directions on the cresent rolls package. Keep an eye on the rolls. They should be golden brown when they are done.
Step 6: Upon removal from the oven, use a small spoon or teaspoon to press the inside of the flower down. It will rise when it bakes, so you can either press it down when it's about ¾ cooked in the oven, or press it down when you remove them from the oven.
Step 7: Let the flower cups cool.
Step 8: When you're ready to serve, add a large spoonful or two of egg salad to each flower cup.
Step 9: Top with a sprinkling of paprika and chopped chives.
Step 10: Serve on a plate with celery sticks for stems.

Paul Geddes Senior Organ Scholar
Benjamin Maton is the Senior Organ Scholar . His principal instrument has always been the organ, which he took up at the age of fourteen, subsequently achieving grade 8 with distinction within three years.He recently won joint first prize in the prestigious Liz Lawrence award for young Wiltshire musicians, and is to perform on behalf of Wiltshire Rural Music School with the aim of bringing organ music to a wider young audience. Ben was organ scholar at his school, Bishop Wordsworth's Grammar Salisbury, where he regularly played (and later received lessons on) the magnificent Willis organ at Salisbury Cathedral. He was also organ scholar at St Thomas Church in the centre of Salisbury, and has regularly played there giving recitals to raise funds for charity, as well as at other local churches. His particular interests are Baroque and French Romantic organ music.
Siraj Singh Kandhari Junior Organ Scholar
Rex Roxburgh started at St Peter's in October 2016.
During his gap year in Australia, he worked as organ scholar at St Paul's Cathedral and music gap student at Trinity Grammar School in Melbourne.
He performed organ recitals for the Melbourne University Society of Organ Concerts and a recital at St Paul's Cathedral on the fantastic four manual English Romantic Lewis organ. Rex also played in the Heidelberg Symphony Orchestra as a violinist.
Between 2006 and 2010, Rex was a chorister at Winchester Cathedral and was inspired to take up the organ as his third instrument, after the violin and piano. However, the organ quickly became his principal instrument. Rex then studied at Stowe School as a music and academic scholar, where he was taught by former St Peter's organ scholar, Lewis Brito-Babapulle.

News Digest
Secretary LaHood Designates New Marine Highway in Texas. U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has designated a new marine highway in Chambers County, Texas. The "M-146 Marine Highway Connector," which is sponsored by the Chambers County Texas Improvement District No. 1 and the Chambers Liberty Counties Navigation District, spans the 25-mile waterway between the Cedar Bayou and the Houston Ship Channel, connecting to the Port of Houston on the M-10 Marine Highway Corridor. A container-on-barge service currently operating on the M-146 has already reduced regional roadway traffic by approximately 2,000 containers per month. A marine highway is a designated route for transporting cargo on water, reducing pollution and congestion on roads. Since 2009, the Department of Transportation has designated 19 Marine Highway Routes, and invested $130 million in projects supporting Marine Highway services. In addition to highlighting the role waterways play in moving freight throughout the region, designated Marine Highways receive preferential treatment for any future federal assistance from the Department or MARAD.

DOT Fines JetBlue for Violations of Consumer Rules. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) today fined JetBlue Airways $60,000 for violations of DOT's airline consumer rules that were adopted in April 2011. JetBlue violated a requirement that airlines must either allow passengers to hold a reservation without payment or cancel a reservation without penalty within 24 hours after making a reservation, if the reservation was made at least one week before the flight's departure. Between January and November 2012, JetBlue required a number of passengers to pay cancellation fees when they canceled their reservations within 24 hours of booking. In addition, JetBlue engaged in two promotional activities that violated a requirement that advertised airfares include the full price to be paid by the consumer, including all required taxes and fees. In November 2012, JetBlue advertised voucher packages with listed base fares that did not include taxes of up to $69 per flight, which were listed separately. Also, JetBlue ran a sweepstakes last fall offering "free" flights for the winners, but in fact the winners would have to pay taxes and fees of up to $329 to book the flights. The consent order is available at www.regulations.gov, docket DOT-OST-2013-0004. Contact: Bill Mosley – Tel.: 202-366-4570.

Just Jake - by Jake Marcionette
The story focuses on a sixth-grade boy named Jake (a coincidence?), and his first year of middle school in a new state, where he has no friends. He hopes to transfer his popularity from his old school, but it doesn't work that way, and he's suddenly at the bottom of the social ladder, struggling to make any friends at all, to avoid the school bully, and to survive living with his explosive teenage older sister. To his advantage, Jake is a creative guy, a good artist, and he is full of confidence. Will those talents be enough to help him not only survive but thrive in his new school? You'll find out, but the journey through that sixth-grade year is not an easy one, and it's Jake's struggles and solutions that make this book a winner.
Read this book to be inspired. This author is pretty awesome (his character's favorite word), and if he can do it, why not you, too?

martedì 10 dicembre 2013
Lana Del Rey Vocal Range
Vocal Range: 3 Octaves and one note (B2-C6)
Whistle Register: No
Vocal Pluses: An emotive and expressive voice that uses Lana Del Rey's ability to act more so than her ability to hit notes to convey emotion. This is helped by her phrasing and brilliant intonation that maintains that the lyrics are always clear, audible and understandable.
Lana Del Rey's lower range is dark and full with a slight smokiness and is often utilised with a languorous tone and a quiver to the voice. The mid-range- hear Dark Paradise- is of medium weight, and has a sweetness and youthfulness that is not present in the lower extremes of the range. Her upper register is easily accessed and is mostly used in its warm and breathy timbre, contrasting with the lower end of her range. However, Lana Del Rey has demonstrated an ability to solidify the notes in her head voice, to create a more resonant tone- Born to Die.
The voice has a clear and pure tone and an overarching character that makes the voice easily identifiable no mater what part of the range Lana Del Rey is singing in.
Vocal Negatives: Some have called Lana Del Rey's lazy drawl "soulless" and "hollow". Also, her live performances have been criticised for being pitchy and unpolished, resulting in accusations that she is unable to actually sing.

DiS is just a bit excited to hear news that Thomas Bangaleter and Guy-Manuel de Homen-Christo, better known as Daft Punk, are in their Paris studio, working on a new record.
In an interview with In The Mix magazine, Pedro Winter, revealed the band "are in a studio in Paris at the moment" when asked if they were working on a new record.
Pedro, is the owner of Ed Banger (home to Justice, Sebastian and Uffie) and has been Daft Punk's manager for twelve year. However he also revealed he has recently stepped down as their manager to focus on his own career as Busy P, as well as his hugely successful and influential label. There's clearly no bad blood because he continued "I can't wait to listen to their new stuff!
Don't get too excited, that was about all he said. There's no album name or release date and he continued "They are slow, you know. They are taking their time, and they have a right (to take their time)."
Since the news, the web has been ablaze with excitement and a small amount of contemplation whether they might 'do a Radiohead'. Looking into our crystal ball, we suspect they'll do something five times more exciting, like making the album available via bluetooth at some huge show or making it available for free but mixed into one long mp3 featuring their favourite new acts. Or maybe they'll keep it old skool and just give it to all the members of their award winning but now seemingly defunct Daft Club?
DiScuss: Most influential band since Nirvana? Where to start with Daft Punk?

Autumn Inspirations
It's one of the many things I enjoy about being a designer; I respond to changes in weather, the sky, sunlight, plant life, textures and these experiences are reflected in my work.
My experience is much richer than four seasons. For me, the seasons change slowly. In increments.
Pattern, color, and memories they evoke as we make new ones.
I walk my kids to school most days. We often talk about our dreams on the way to school, and as I return home and to my studio, I enjoy the quiet, notice birds, trees, smells on the wind.
My gnome garden. I love humor and whimsy.
I hope my wearable art pieces inspire people to enjoy the seasons.
I enjoy the photography sessions and hope my photos are fun to look at, as well as helping the product sell.
I'm lucky to have a studio with lots of natural light, that overlooks the garden. I feel connected to the weather, changes in light, the clouds, blooming flowers, even as I rock out in my studio, creating things and sewing up a storm.
This makes me feel warm and cozy. I hope you do too. :-)
Almost all of my photo sessions are accompanied by curious cats.

Inmate Pleads Guilty in 1996 Death of Mo. Woman
SAVANNAH (AP) - A 56-year-old man who is already in jail solved a 17-year mystery when he pleaded guilty to killing a northwest Missouri woman.
Michael Wilson pleaded guilty Thursday to killing 36-year-old Therese Campen of Raytown in February 1996. Prosecutors say Campen gave Wilson a ride to a bus stop in Raytown and Wilson later called her and made a date.
Wilson told an Andrew County judge Thursday that he planned to kill Campen. He strangled her and dumped her body in a cemetery near Amazonia, after hitting her with a piece of a broken gravestone to make sure she was dead.
The St. Joseph News-Press reports Wilson is serving three 20-year sentences for convictions from Jackson County. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Front shock absorbers
So a modification was in order and I ordered a set of Old Man Emu front shocks which I modified.
I used some pieces of pipe and welded a solid piece of bar on the bottom that is 1 3/8" long and has the diameter of the original shock.
Next I cut the bottom eyes of the brand new shocks(sometimes you have to take a bit of a risk)and pressed the rubber bushing out of it, welded the eye to the tube bottom, powder coated it (the yellow that I used was a bit off from the original color, but beggars can't be choosers)and pressed the rubber bushing back in place.
Now I have to install it and rotate the shock so that the spring coil doesn't hit the upper A-arm when the suspension is totally extended.
Once installed, I will have to make 2 small welds to weld the tube to the spring plate.(Note:If you do this, do not weld to the shock itself, it may explode!)
It should lift the van up about 2" and still have the full stroke of the shock available.
The only material used is two pieces of pipe and two 1 3/8" pieces of solid bar.
The bottom of the shock is resting on the solid bar and the tube is touching the spring plate of the shock absorber.

Hi Herman,
you started a very ambitious project with lots of expertise and creativity (liked the gauge pod!). I recently moved to Canada and imported my 1988 Vanagon Syncro. I the car needs some tune up in the future and I have lots of ideas to upgrade it to modern standarts (it already has a 1.9 TD AAZ engine). It also has a body lift from Bernd Jaeger, Germany.
As I am new to the continent I am in the need for some reliable companies to do sandblasting, powder coating, etc. I live in Calgary and are frequently in Field BC. Would you mind to meet for a coffee and share some of your experience?
Thanks, Stefan (email@example.com)

Thanks Stefan, I have left you a message on your Email.
- July 29, 2008 at 9:07 PM
I love this idea, have you had a chance to drive it with the extended shocks? Do they fit tightly into the tubes? I'm wondering about shock rebound, do you think they'll pop fully extended?

Hi Eric, thanks.
The shocks fit fairly tight in the tubes, plus I have put some small welds from the tube to the spring base plate, I don't think that they will pop fully extended, the upper A arm will hit the spring coil before the shock will reach the end of its stroke.
I don't have the van on the road yet, this summer was unbelievable busy with travel and other stuff. It runs etc but now I have the dashboard and heater out and doing body work. It will hopefully be finished this coming summer.
Did you have any problems with your CV joints up front when you raised yours and how many miles did you drive it raised?
I read that you have sold it, hope you build another one again, it sure looked great!
Greetings Herman
- December 14, 2008 at 12:43 PM
Herman, My 2" lift worked fairly well. It did clunk a few times when the suspension was unloaded. This was due to the extreme angle of the upper A arm, hitting the spring. I could have used a pair of your upper spacers!
The CV's held up really well actually. I had to use inner CV boots from a late 70's vw bus. The ones that have the inner boot pressed to the flange. They seemed to stay on the longest. The outers held up fine. I put at least 5000 miles on that setup.
I'm lifting my new Syncro right now, I really like your idea with the tubes. I want to try a slight variation to your concept. I was thinking of adding a height adjusting section to the bottom of the tube.
- February 4, 2009 at 9:26 PM
I just made a set of those, they don't work. The new OD of the tube is too big for the axle to fit directly next to the strut. I'm going to offset the base so the axle has room to clear on my next set. It might be possible to cut out the side of the tube to gain clearance, but I'm going to try offsetting the tube 5mm - 8mm
- February 6, 2009 at 11:05 PM
- Herman said...
Hi Eric, I have about 8mm clearance between the axle and the strut. You must have used a piece of pipe that has a bigger OD than I have. Mine is 60mm OD galvanized pipe that is used for scaffolding.
It is probably easiest to grind it down a bit where it hits the axle.
