Weird title yes. But see this vídeo from Kit Kat and see how extraordinary is when a brand is so powerful and close to us that its product becomes a totally diferent one, under the same concept. This is amazing!

"Religious liberty is not only about our ability to go to Mass on Sunday or to pray the Rosary at home. It is about whether we can continue to make our contribution to the common good of all Americans without violating our deeply-held moral beliefs," Bishop Malone said. "This issue affects all Americans — it is not a Catholic issue, a Jewish issue, an Orthodox, Mormon, or Muslim issue. It is an American issue."
In an April 12 statement, the U.S. Bishops' ad hoc committee for religious liberty called for a "fortnight of freedom" from June 21 to July 4. The period includes a series of feasts of "great martyrs" who faced political oppression. Their statement was an "urgent summons" to U.S. Catholics, stressing the need for prayer, fasting, and public action for religious freedom.

Acting Technique
It wasn't until I started reading the books that I found in London in used book stores. This is such a great way to find interesting and novel items. Anyway, when I studied acting for one year or two semesters with Lionel Walsh at The University of Windsor in the academy of dramatic art. I also was very blessed and studied with Laurie Seligman a visiting artist at the school of dramatic art at The University of Windsor. This helped me understand what sub-text was and this is what I presently use when I sing Rejoice Greatly from the Messiah. http://athena.uwindsor.ca/units/drama/drama_main_web/DramaticArt.nsf/main/B698D559C5C6628E852570D10064E619?OpenDocumentLionnel Walsh, he was a very talented acting teacher and taught us using the Uta Hagen method. Wow…this is truly challenging to perform just three minutes or ten minutes of your life portraying the character of yourself!
I was truly blessed when I had private acting lessons from Laurie Seligman at The University of Windosr school of dramatic art. He was a visiting artistist who worked with us in muscial theatre workshops of which I had eight classes in musical theatre workshop. It seems a lot now looking back on it. http://www.google.com/aclk?/Relevance/iq%

Once you come to be an IT manager, you'd believe that you'd very a great deal made it – just what most could you desire? However, it's really simply the start of another journey, not the conclusion. The thing that makes this component of your profession possibly various from the areas that emerged earlier is that your are the people that is in cost of it. Exactly how would you like items to come out?
Very first Figure Out Everything you desire To Do
In order to become an effective IT supervisor, you need to be doing what you love. I know that this may seem fairly odd to most of your, possibly simply a bit too "huggy – feely", but it converts out that it is real. In the entire world of IT, all too frequently we ending up doing exactly what we've fallen into and over time that can lead to burn-out and discontent with all of our lot in lives.
A much better ways of creating factors is to simply take control of the job. This declaration looks daring, but saying it is perhaps not sufficient – it's supposed to call for your to just take action. Specifically, you were going to posses to ask your self some tough issues and you're going to have to feel stronger sufficient to need action when you discover what the answers is.
In the world of company, specifically interests you the most? Formulated on the work that you've done so far in your career, what did you price the most? Do you realize what you are really close at?
As an IT manager, your need to just take the time to completely discover what you are actually lookin for in the rest of your IT career. This means using the time to see exactly what kind of perform you like to do. Not every organization is the same, that's why in addition, you have actually to invest time studying exactly what sort of jobs environments most attract to you. Finally, just what forms of user perform you love to make use of?
Become Input From Outsiders
A lot of the information and knowledge about yourself that your is supposed to wanted in order to respond to the issues that your are asking won't come away from you. The explanation for this is pretty easy: we're too near to the subject (us!) .
Because of this, we're going to require extra help. We has three sets of individuals that we can get to completely to: men that your make use of, pals & family members, and your self.
What you're going to desire to perform is to gather info that will establish on their understanding of yourself. Particularly, you're lookin for ideas on just what rest think that their worth, work interests, and abilities are. This is supposed to call for your to reach completely to everyone around you and inquire all of them some pointed questions.
Once you've amassed your inputs, stay straight down and examine what you have been told. No one solution should take over their reasoning. Rather, you need to feel searching for motifs that your hear from several men and women. These are going to be the clues that your are supposed to wanted in order to best discover how you should become shaping your profession going ahead.
What All Of This ways For You
If you really wish to has an IT manager profession that you will be satisfied with, then you're going to has to take fee of handling it. Your job won't only establish on its very own – you were supposed to have to tips it.
This implies that you're supposed to has to stay down and ask your self some difficult concerns. You'll need to pick out both everything you enjoy performing and what you actually don't like to manage. Furthermore, your are going to have actually to inquire their household, pals, and colleagues the way you is understood by other people. Find out what other people think their true abilities (and faults) is.
When you've built-up this information, you'll be well set to start to map out of the types of IT career that you actually want. Finally you is the one who will become accountable for exactly how it all converts off. Make sure that you take fee of the career suitable now!

new in: Nikes.
I can't for the life of me remember what model of Nikes these are because I threw out the box in Japan, but they have these amazing gel pads inside them so it feels like you're walking on clouds. And also you know I'm a sucker for anything marle grey! On a hard day's shopping, straight after I bought them I changed into them out on the street because the shitty espadrilles I was wearing (which I've now thrown out) were making my feet so sore! First world shopping problems I know....but I'm glad to own my first pair of Nikes (because I'm an Adidas girl).

Wedding Life List
Wedding vows are either traditional oaths we repeat thoughtless after priest or romantic promises we write ourselves and never keep. Wedding is one of the most important projects in our life, so it shouldn't be based on insignificant or impracticable ideas. The more practical and desired things you will mention in your vow, the more successful your marriage will be.
Bride and bridegroom write their life lists, i.e. things they want to do in their family life, e.g. 'to travel around the world' or 'to buy a little house on the river bank'.
At the ceremony they exchange the life lists and promise to fulfill the wishes, e.g. 'I promise to travel with my darling around the world and buy a little house on the river bank'.
After the wedding the husband and wife do their best to make the life lists come true.
Due to 'Wedding Life List' idea, none of you will ever blame each other in selfishness and carelessness. You will have a good plan of what to do in the nearest fifty years, and that is a half of the way to a happy marriage.

We've been listening to the warnings all week and taking heed. She's a major force, this one. Not quite as stormy as when she started out but still puffed up enough to wreak havoc on our little home. We prepare as best we can. The pantry bulges with canned goods and extra supplies, the icemaker is running on overtime and we have lots of candles and extra toilet paper.
"Kids, you aren't going to be able to play with your X-Box for a few days. Go find the monopoly board and bring in your bikes, leaving them out in the driveway is just asking for trouble."
I cast a worried glance at Mike. He's been busy all morning, hoping for the best, preparing for the worst. Sighing, he braces himself and winks at me. We resolve to get through this together, clean up any debris left behind and carry on.
"She's coming, she's coming", the kids yell, their voices strained by excitement and tension. I see her moving up the driveway under a full head of steam. Feeling brave, I open the door to face her head on. From behind me, I hear Mike's voice.
"Hi, Mom….. Come on in. So glad you could come."

Scoop me up the summer
So far I've given you three great ideas for what to do with all this summer fruit: make booze with it, freeze it or dry it for later.
Another of my favorite things to make with summer fruit are sorbets. For this you will need an ice cream maker, which can range from the inexpensive to the obscene. I use an attachment for my mixer and have also used an inexpensive counter top ice cream maker*. All you need to make sorbet are four simple things: fruit, sugar, lemon juice and a ridiculously cold ice cream maker.
I've been making sorbets and ice creams for about four or five years now and although I am no master at the latter, I am pretty good with the former. Most recipes will instruct you to make a simple syrup to add to mashed fruit, then place into the ice cream maker, where you then follows it's individual instructions. But I have found that the most effective way to make sorbets – especially with soft fruits such as raspberries and strawberries – is to avoid making the syrup and cook the mashed berries in a covered pot at a low temperature. Heat them until they start to become fragrant, deepen in colour and release their own juices. This juice is all the liquid you need; adding extra water – in the form of the syrup – can dilute the flavour as well as increase your chances of having a more granular sorbet, more on that later.
Once the fruit has cooked sufficiently, take it off the heat and mash the fruit for a chunkier texture or puree with an immersion blender for a smooth texture. Add sugar to the mixture, a tablespoon at a time. This allows the sugar to be incorporated more evenly and allows you to taste for sweetness. Keep on adding sugar until you think it's just sweet enough. Then add one more tablespoon for good measure – once frozen, the sweetness will be less prominent. Then add lemon juice, a teaspoon at a time, just enough to enhance the flavour of the berries. It should taste "brighter". Chill the mixture overnight in your fridge. This step is important as you want the fruit mixture to be as cold as possible before putting it into your ice cream maker.
Speaking of which, if you are using an ice cream maker that has a segment or base that is frozen beforehand, make sure it has been frozen for at least fourty eight hours and placed in the coldest part of your freezer. A deep freezer is preferable for storing it. Also, if it's hot in your kitchen, be aware that this may affect the freezing of your sorbet. Keep a fan on the frozen base if necessary.
These steps are necessary to prevent the formation of big ice crystals. A really good sorbet will have a minimum amount of ice crystals and those crystals will be very small, almost unnoticeable on the tongue. This is what makes it so pleasant to eat. If your ice cream maker or your mixture aren't nice and cold, you will get large ice crystals and your sorbet will have a more granular texture. If this happens, tell your guests it's a granité.
Place the mixture into your ice cream maker and follow the instructions. You'll know it's ready when the sorbet starts to take shape, as the mixture starts to stick together and come away from the sides.
Take the sorbet mix out of the ice cream maker and freeze for another hour or two to set properly. The sorbet should last about a week, if you can keep yourself from eating it for that long.
*Note: The popularity of ice cream maker balls may be deceivingly fun, but the texture of the product made in these makers is questionable.

Autumn is coming, originally uploaded by Markonmersea.
As the title says, Autumn is just around the corner. I do like walking through woods when autumn is arriving, seeing all the leaves changing colours. I think this year will be great for the colours of autumn. Off on holiday in a couple of weeks time, and hopefully all the colours will be shining.
This was taken with the Sigma 150-500mm Lens. It is a good versatile lens, the light was not that bright in the woods, but pump up the ISO level on the 40D and it manages to produce a good shot.
I have a couple of excellent plugins for CS4, one being Define 2.0 from Nik Software, very good at detecting noise on a shot and smoothing it out. The other plugin is Nik software sharpener. That is a serious good plug in.

Am I allowed to keep posting pumpkin recipes after halloween? I really hope so because these cookies are just too good to resists sharing. I mean, yes, with the smoothies and risottos and granola and even ice cream… pumpkin is a bit overrepresented in my recipes, but is that such a bad thing? In these cookies, the pumpkin puree works so well to round out the flavors of the banana, oats, and spices to create a very healthy, all-natural snack that pays tribute to one of my favorite 5-minute afternoon snack recipes that I posted over a year ago (The Easiest Banana Oat Cookies).
You might have noticed that I categorized these cookies and a snack instead of a dessert. I wouldn't exactly think of these like a typical "cookie" in terms of being a fatty and sugary treat. These are more like a simple, unprocessed, 'one ingredient' snack that makes a great healthy way to satisfy your afternoon cravings with just a few minutes of work. As a result, these are pretty much the only cookies where you can eat the entire batch and it would be a perfectly healthy & balanced meal. And did I mention they have pumpkin? 🙂
Makes a dozen cookies
- 3 medium bananas
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 1/2 cup oatmeal
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup date sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
There's two things I love about these cookies… 1) there's just two quick steps (mix and bake) that take no more than 5 minutes and 2) they're the most foolproof baked good you've ever made — The exact quantities of ingredients aren't important, they are nearly impossible to burn, and they always just come out right.
Preheat oven to 350º F
Step One
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until no chunks remain. Then simple add in all the other ingredients – pumpkin puree, oatmeal, raisins, date sugar*, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and vanilla.
*date sugar is simply whole dried dates that have been pulverized into a powder. You could substitute a little maple syrup or brown sugar if needed.
Step Two
Measure out the batter into rounds slightly bigger than golf balls and flatten them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Pop in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until firmly solid, then allow to cool before eating them all yourself. 🙂
did you find that date sugar at Whole Foods?
They look awesome!! Is there pumpkin puree in a glass? Never seen it. But well, making it yourself shouldn't be too difficult either, haha
I guess we are talking rolled oats not cooked oatmeal
Hi Andrew! I love love love your recipes and everything you're about! I just bought your food photography course last night and am so excited to learn how you take such awesome photos.
Just wondering if you could sub coconut sugar instead of date sugar in this recipe? I've never seen date sugar where I live.
I'm guessing we should just make plain oatmeal and add to mix? I was a bit confused about whether you meant dry oats or prepared oatmeal, but it seems like it calls for prepared oatmeal?

I teach online for the following reasons:
1. I have been teaching online full time for 7 years now. I would say the only complaint that I have is having to provide my own health/dental insurance, which for me is about $200 a month, and it has a really high deductible.
However, I make more money than if I taught for a face to face college, so overall, for me, the benefits outweigh anything else.
2. I just stumbled onto this thread. I also teach a COM class at Axia in the first year sequence, and I've had a good experience so far. The quality of my students swings widely, but I've had good experiences with the classes I've taught, and my reviews have been excellent. Yeah. :)
I heard bad things about UofP, but so far those fears have been unfounded. I actually really like how strict they are about what is expected of both facilitators and students. The expectations are very clear, and I have fewer issues with complaining students.
Why Do I Teach Online?

Life's too short
"A little over two hours," he whispered back.
Shit. I slumped back in my seat and sighed loudly. I think Norman added something about how the movie was bound to get better soon, but my head was so full of angry, buzzing thoughts that I didn't really hear him. Fifteen minutes later, I'd had enough.
"Norman," I said, quietly but very firmly,"I hate this. I absolutely hate this and I'm leaving." I believe that caught his attention: I don't think Norman has ever walked out on a movie in his life. But as soon as I said the words, I felt so much better. After all, I didn't need to stay and torture myself with misery; I didn't owe anyone a ride home, and I believe my imminent departure revealed the direction any post-movie discussion would take. I grabbed my purse and coat, and by the time I hit the lobby I was feeling good enough to wave a cheery good-bye to the kid at the ticket counter. Yeah, my walking out cost me $10.50, and it means I won't honestly be able to say I watched every movie on this year's List, but so what? It also means that I rescued an hour of my life that would otherwise have been spent watching the worst movie I've seen in years.
Is there much to say about I'm Not There that critics haven't already said, and no doubt much more eloquently? In case you're out of the loop, it's that movie about Bob Dylan (sort of) starring, among others, Cate Blanchett, Christian Bale, and a little black kid as Bob Dylan (sort of). I think Heath Ledger was playing an actor who was portraying Christian Bale's version of a Dylan-esque character in a movie-within-the-movie, but I'm not sure. (Did you even understand what I was trying to say in that last sentence? I didn't think so.) By the time Richard Gere showed up, playing, no doubt, yet another manifestation of Bob Dylan, I was so pissed off and confused that I threw in the towel. It might have helped me if any of the characters in the movie had actually been named Bob Dylan.
Right now I am trying to decide whether handing ten-and-a-half bucks over to the box office constituted paying for the privilege of watching director/screenwriter Todd Hayes masturbate in public or letting him take a dump on me. I have the feeling it was both.

This reminds me of the time Joe Queenan saw "Gone Fishing" and stood in the lobby afterwards refunding customers. I think it in his book "Confessions of a Cinematic Heckler".
- Cupcake said...
I saw this movie with my boyfriend. About 30 minutes into the movie, I said, "I don't get it." After the movie, he told me that it was making all kinds of weird, sideways references to existing Dylan documentaries, and that if you didn't know those, you probably wouldn't get this movie either. I think your comment about film director masturbating is right on the mark. However, I did love the Kate Blanchett version of Dylan. I thought she was the best part.

I hate to see a dear friend throw herself under the "I'm Not There" bus, but I thank you. I wanted to see that one. It's now officially an only-if-there-is-nothing-else-on-cable-maybe-I'll-give-it-a-try film.
Thanks for the heads up.

Uh, what I said, sarcastically, was, "Oh, it gets better" -- when Richard Gere (re)appeared as Billy the "Kid" or whatever.

And so.....now that the holidays are becoming a distant memory, we turn our attention to all those projects that were put on hold......There is so much at our fingertips for inspiration at this time of year!!! From the warm cozy afghan, to the bright fresh colors of spring, and the new beginnings of life whether it be a new baby or a wedding, there is much about which to celebrate our passion for creativity.......
Where to begin?? Do you attempt to finish those recently put aside projects and focus on the latest batch to make their way into your personal stash? Do you fall in love with the color or texture of a new-found fiber and let that lead you into your next project? Or do you find excitement in the anticipation of learning a new skill or technique to help you recharge your creative batteries???
Drop me a line and let me know what you are up to.....on my notebook at ravelry.com, I am listed as stitchwhiz623. On there, I have recently posted some completed projects, and some in process "UFO's"......I have some ideas that I am putting together for my in the Queue section, and would love to see what my fellow yarncrafters are up to.....Please join me there!!!

The DMK is on a sure path back to the UPA. It may not formally join the government for now, but it will surely support it from outside. Maybe later, if things calm down in TN, it may even join the it again. More importantly, it is now quite certain that the party will be part of UPA-3 if that chance arises.
Consider the following:
It is now clear what the DMK's compulsions were in exiting the UPA-2. The politics in TN had gotten far more tumultuous than most of us outside of the state realized. It was a brilliant chess move that Jayalalitha had made, sensing correctly the opportunity the Sri Lanka vote in the UNHCR offered her party. It was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to deliver a body blow to the DMK. She moved stealthily; almost un-noticeable till the very end. And then all of a sudden, in a rapid leap, she went for the kill, escalating the issue sky high. I think the center was caught by surprise; I also think the DMK was caught by surprise.
The DMK was forced into its desperate decision to quit the UPA. Knowing fully well that the central government would not be able to go the whole hog on the issue, the party decided to turn that to its advantage. By quitting the government, it showed that its concern for the Tamilian people was far more than any quest or desire for power. Clearly, the move worked. Not only has the party managed to thwart the AIADMK's move, it has probably scored one over its rival. After all, the AIADMK only made noise. The DMK actually proved its commitment by actually resigning and sacrificing power. I think in the minds of the public, that's a bigger proof of commitment.
Jayalalitha has now been forced onto the backfoot. Not surprising then that she increased the temperature a little more by first demanding that the Sri Lankan cricketers not be allowed to play in Chennai, and then taunting Karunanidhi for not sacking them from his grand nephew Kalanithi Maran's IPL team, the Sunrisers Hyderabad. This battle is far from over, and more turf grabbing can be expected in the coming days. Already, Jayalalitha has used her brutal majority in the TN assembly to pass a resolution demanding that India should insist on the UN intervening in Sri Lanka, unmindful of the reciprocal demand that Pakistan is sure to make with respect to J&K. In the heightened political climate now prevailing in TN, how and why should Jayalalitha bother about J&K. She gets elected by voters in her state, not those in the rest of the country.
How will the DMK respond? It is more than likely that its Hyderabad IPL team will drop its captain Sangakkara. It may also take up other routes – like asking its cadres to attack Sri Lankans in the state and elsewhere. This is a typical battle of egos – there is going to be no stoppage for at least some time.
The incidents show what intense compulsion the DMK faced in doing what it did. The decision to quit the UPA was nothing to do with the 2G scam, nor was it because of any disenchantment with the Congress as many in the media alleged. It was not a reflection of the Congress's attitude towards its allies. The DMK never loved the Congress. It was a political necessity that made the party stick to the Congress, even after the party patriarch's own daughter was hauled into the 2G cauldron. That necessity still continues; only it has been temporarily overtaken by the other necessity of countering Jayalalitha's move.
Once the matter subsides, the DMK's original necessities will re-emerge. The party is already keeping its doors open. From "we won't have a pre-poll alliance with the Congress in 2014", it has already moved to a much more nuanced position, even thanking the central government for sanctioning several infrastructure and social projects in the state. And before this, the party made it clear that it didn't intend to topple the government. How could it? If early elections followed as a result of its actions, the DMK would be routed in its home state. Maybe a year later, the tide will turn against Jayalalitha – already there is a degree of dissent against the massive power cuts, the rising power bills, and the rising cost of transport in the state. The DMK would rather that the elections happen a year later, on schedule.
Even in 2014, what options does it really have? Will it be smarter for it to fight against both, the AIADMK and Congress, or get into an arrangement with the Congress. At the state level, the Congress also has no option, but to tie-up with the DMK. The AIADMK is too mesmerized by Narendra Modi, and any association with the Congress is difficult, at least at the pre-poll stage. The Congress's worries are profound too; with its most visible face from the state, Chidambaram, sure to be feeling the blues. On the one hand, Chidambaram realizes that there is a chance that his party would make him the PM if the UPA got inadequate votes in 2014; on the other hand, there is no surety that he will even be able to retain his seat given the general anti-Congress mood. Chidambaram will make sure that the DMK and Congress join hands – yet again.
There is also this truth about time being the best healer. A few months back, the NCP was apparently furious with the Congress. It felt hurt, blah blah. Media jumped the gun and claimed that the government would fall. Today, the party is back to being the Congress's "most reliable" ally. This is all too common in politics. Regional parties feel the need at times to assert their independent identity, but then cold logic takes over. In a coalition era, that cold logic drives everything.
The real truth is that nothing dramatic should be expected from TN. Do not expect a political re-alignment. Do not expect the central government to fall. And do not be surprised if the DMK and Congress start to tango all over again in a few months time….

Adult Appearances?: The Representation of Children and Childhood in Medieval Art
Sophie Oosterwijk
It is often assumed that children do not really occur in medieval art. The problem for researchers is not so much one of finding representations of childhood, but of recognizing them. Medieval art has its own conventions and if we approach it with a present-minded attitude we are indeed likely to find only 'miniature adults' at best. This easily leads to a conclusion that medieval society neither knew nor understood the concept of childhood. Yet size and proportion can be deceptive: medieval art does not necessarily meet modern standards of naturalism and a small figure need not represent a child. This chapter considers representations of children in early medieval art, including memorials and monuments, placing these images in their artistic, iconological, and theological contexts.
Ancient Stone Sculptures: In Search of the Mexica Past
Eduardo Matos Moctezuma
This chapter discusses the Mexica monumental sculptures uncovered in downtown Mexico City during the late eighteenth century, including the Coatlicue and Tlaltecuhtli sculptures, and the Sun Stone. Other important Mexica archaeological ruins of Tenochtitlan were unearthed during the nineteenth century. The discovery of a stone sculpture of the goddess Coyolxauhqui at base of the Templo Mayor in 1978 led to the excavation of the structure as part of the Proyecto Templo Mayor (Templo Mayor Project). This project has collected data on more than 40 Mexica structures in the heart of Mexico City, including numerous offerings and other important information regarding Aztec history. Some significant findings in recent years include the discovery of several important structures, including the cuauhxicalco, ballcourt, and tzompantli The recent discovery of a stone sculpture of the earth goddess Tlaltecuhtli has also provided essential data, particularly in terms of the offerings found beneath and around the sculpture.
Animate Shadows of Bears and Giants
Kevin Conti and William Walker
This chapter explores the performance of light and shadows in two ancestral Pueblo rock art sites in southeast Utah. These sites possess anthropomorphic rock faces and modified features to create both anthropomorphic and zoomorphic images that we argue derive from mythological traditions of Pueblo peoples. Specifically, light/shadow patterns at these sites produce and interact with Bear and War Twin imagery on prominent dates of the solar calendar. Traditionally such imagery would be approached through rock art studies in terms of motifs and symbolic interpretations. The celestial component would be addressed by archaeoastronomers. Using object agency theory, we seek to contextualize these data as places where people communicated with their Bear and War Twin deities.
Art for the Living
J. D. Lewis-Williams
Art in the Aztec Empire
Emily Umberger
Archaeological remains testify to the spread of goods and ideas over broad areas of Mesoamerica at different times throughout its prehispanic history. However, most material expansions are unaccompanied by texts, so it is difficult to identify which resulted from empires, and which from other types of interaction, like trade, gift giving, and emulation. In contrast, the Aztec Empire, which dominated central Mexico during its final pre-conquest years, is known to us mostly through documents written during and after its overthrow by Spaniards in 1521. Ironically, the material remains do not match the expectations raised by the documents. More relics have been excavated and studied in the last few decades than previously, but relatively few scholars have yet engaged with their evidence. This article shows how the imagery of sculptures can supplement and refine our notions of Aztec strategies.
Art of the Classic Period
Rex Koontz
The Mesoamerican Classic period (ca. 250–900
Aztec Art after the Conquest and in Museums Abroad
Ray Hernández Durán
Following the Spanish Conquest, responses to Aztec art were varied. While architecture and many sacred sculptures were demolished and their material remains recycled into new construction, other works were either repurposed to fulfill new functions in the colonial setting or sent to Europe where they were collected and admired. Certain Aztec art forms persisted after the Conquest but with various adaptations or reformulations, as seen in manuscript production and featherwork. Other Colonial artworks, for example sculpture and wall paintings, evince the influence of indigenous esthetics, techniques, and forms, evident in sculpture and wall painting. Eventually, Aztec objects transitioned from being perceived as exotic curiosities in royal collections and world's fairs to historical and archaeological artifacts to works of art appreciated by audiences in Mexico, as signifiers of national identity and indigenous achievement, and in museum exhibitions abroad where Aztec art often continues to be enigmatic, misunderstood, or unknown.
Aztec Art, Time, and Cosmovisión
William Barnes
Aztec religion and the Central Mexican divinatory calendar were intrinsically linked. Focusing on the Aztec conception of art and artists, this chapter presents an overview of how art Aztec art (sculpture, painting, carving, weaving, etc.) and architecture served as an expression of Aztec religion, the calendar, and an overall view of the cosmos. Aztec art addressed the past, both in commemorating historic events, and in recalling and referencing the accomplishments of past cultures, collectively referred to as Toltecs. Art also celebrated past, present, and future periodicities that served as evidence of divine action in the world – particularly action on behalf of the ruling elite and, in the case of the Aztecs of Tenochtitlan, divine approbation of empire. Hence Aztec works usually combine references to what we today would consider mundane historical events and actions with images of divinities and supernatural concepts.
Aztec Lapidaries
Cynthia L. Otis Charlton and Alejandro Pastrana
Objects of Aztec lapidary work carry great visual impact in contrast to their relatively scarce actual numbers. A combination of historical documents and modern locational techniques has enabled some insight into the movement of lapidary objects and raw material through the Aztec Empire through tribute and trade. To date, the only found and excavated Late Postclassic Aztec lapidary workshops come from Otumba in the northeast Basin of Mexico. Lapidary work itself was a highly specialized process performed by skilled artisans. Replication experimentation and the aid of such techniques as scanning electron microscopy have clarified some questions about how lapidary objects were actually produced. They have also had the unexpected benefit of revealing a change in workshop organization between the Middle and Late Postclassic Aztec lapidary production of offerings at the Templo Mayor in Tenochtitlan.
Aztec Pictography and Painted Histories
Elizabeth Hill Boone
The Aztecs recorded knowledge and wrote down the historical events of their past in painted books, now called codices, in which historical information was encoded in a pictographic writing system of figures and symbols, which were displayed along folded strips of hide and paper or across broad cotton cloths. These historical books were either organized by time, as in annals where events are painted adjacent to the year signs of a sequential count, or by geography, as in cartographic histories where events are recorded according to their location. Two broad historical themes dominate: the long migration from a place of origin or ancestral homeland (usually Aztlan) to the place where they established their capital, and the subsequent development and expansion of the polity. Guarded in royal libraries, these books affirmed the autonomy of the altepetl by recounting and preserving its history.

It's from insight. Did i mention that i love insight? cause i do.
i've been admiring this swimsuit from afar, and i am equally in love with the one-peice version.
I thought the panda print was so cute, and bought it at URBN once it went on sale. (cause i'm super cheap. lOl)
In addition to buying this swimsuit, i also blew my paycheck at amazon.com on some books, conor oberst and iron&wine's new albums, a few comedy DVDs, and fim and a flash add on both for my diana+ camera. which reminds me i need to get some film developed...
currently reading a hilarious book called "Be More Chill" by Ned Vizzini. About a nerdy kid who swallows a "squip;" an interactive computer chip in the form of a pill that is implanted in your brain once swallowed. From there it talks to you (in keanu reeve's voice!) and tells you how to be chill.
my favorite part is when Jeremy, the main character, becomes an expert on selling beanie babies for cash, thus stealing his aunt's prized beanie babies and selling them on ebay to afford a squip. LOLs insue...
must sleep now, i have the pleasure of working a double shift tomorrow...-_-

In the last press conference before the inauguration, Jackie Calmes of the New York Times asked a two part question. The second part of the question, I covered earlier. It was about the lack of diversity in Obama's inner circle and cabinet nominations. The first part is about why the president doesn't seem to play well with others.
Really? The debt ceiling, gun control, the fiscal cliff, the war in Afghanistan, Iraq's nuclear threat, the slow job growth, people starving, the issues of education, lack of investment in infrastructure, and this is the question you ask? "Mr. President, why don't you play well with others?"
Had I not heard this before and seen it taken up on several news shows I follow, I would think such a question would be looked at as frivolous. Honestly, it is. Few report the number of times that Republicans have been asked to the White House to state dinners or just to see a movie. The Speaker has not attended six invitations while Senate Minority Leader has skipped on two. No Republican member of either House or Senate would even attend the premier showing of Lincoln, clearly a nonpartisan event. They chose not to come. There was also when the Speaker did not go through the reception line nor even speak to the President at the White House Christmas party.
What of the fact that following the election the Republican leaders would not come to the phone to talk to Obama when he called after he talked to Romney? How about the fact that at least twice the Republican leadership who were negotiating with the White House about the budget have simply walked away from the table just when they seemed to be reaching an agreement or have we forgotten about the walk out following Simpson-Bowles or Plan B? I am not saying that Obama is blameless either, but he is not alone in this accusation. How about the announcement following the "fiscal cliff deal" that John Boehner would no longer negotiate one on one. Really, who is not willing to play here?
While the press talks about how LBJ would schmooze the egos on the Hill, I would point out that the Congress that Johnson had, heck even the congress Clinton had, was a very different Congress. Neither of them had a group that had met on the day they were inaugurated to discuss how to get rid of this President. Neither had a leader of Congress announce that it was his number one priority to make the president a one term president from the floor of the Senate. No that kind of "do your job, but its not personal" Congress is gone. Few of the old timers that operated that way remain. Besides the job of the President and Congress is to get a job done. The problems on the Hill right now...they created. This means that they could solve them. If only we weren't whining that Barack won't come out and play...
Once again, dear press, with all the issues facing this country this is Much Ado...

THIS is what I want.
To go along with THIS cookbook.
I picked up the book at the library because I just liked the idea of a nice, hearty easy dinner. I didn't realize what the book was really about.
Seriously, I would love these. I've been good all year.
And while I'm requesting, I'd also love THIS cookbook. Doesn't that just look perfect for me??? And the author's first name is Andrea. It is fate, I tell you.

Last night I made the mock Chicken Salad ahead of time, to let the ingredients "marry" in the fridge. I used a recipe I found on vegweb.com, but tweaked it a little.
Mock Chicken Salad
1/2 cup sunflower seeds, soaked 3 hours
1/2 cup cashews, soaked 3 hours
2″ piece cucumber
1 tablespoon chopped onion
1/2 celery stick
1/4 cup pecans pieces
1 teaspoon dill
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Juice from 1/2 lemon
lots of ground black pepper
1/2 carrot, optional
Instead of adding the optional carrot, I mixed in a handful of raisins and 1/4 of an apple, chopped. Everything else gets thrown into the food processor and blended until a chunky consistency. Then fold in the raisins and apples. I also like to keep it in the fridge overnight because the blade from the food processor tends to heat up things, and hot chicken salad doesn't sound very appetizing.
I had gone to 14 Carrot Whole Foods, a health food store in Lexington, SC a couple nights earlier. They offer many different raw options for take home and even a few at their fresh deli. They sell in their chilled aisle a few different kinds of flax seed "breads", and I went with an onion flax bread. I should have tried the regular flax bread they had because it had a softer appearance. The onion bread was a little too crunchy and broke in half when I pushed the top of the sandwich on.
It really does taste like chicken-less chicken salad, but the apples help the texture. The dill is the star of the show, and the raisins bring a little sweetness to this savory dish. I topped it with sliced roma tomatoes, bibb lettuce, and avocado slices.
I had some left over tomato slices and avocado, so not being one to waste, I made a little side salad out of it. I topped it with some leftover corn jicama salad from Good Life., and seasoned with salt and pepper. Gotta say, I think I liked the salad more than my main course! It was crisp, fresh and tasty.
The recipe makes enough mixture for probably 3-4 sandwiches of this size. It actually turned out to be a lot of food and I have a whole half a sandwich left on my plate. This would even be perfect in a lettuce or cabbage leaf if you don't want the "bread". I will probably continue to make this even when I'm done doing raw, it'd be a perfect summer picnic sandwich.

For those following my YouTube Vlogs, I mention in vlog 23 that I will be featuring Gundam or Gunpla tutorials. This is something I planned on doing for a long time now and it would be fun as well. Helping people is one of my biggest things and those interested in Gunpla but could never build them would be awesome.
At the current time, I am lacking some funds but I'm seeking dummy kits to buy so I can do some tutorials. Some models I have in mind are those of the lower grade such as 1/144 kits and SD BB Sangokuden kits then I will advanced to higher up like High Grades and Master...and Perfect Grades are too much.
I plan to buy from Hobbywave.com because they offer a lot of models, not just Gundam, for a decent price. Their prices are a bit more expensive but their shipping is amazing when purchasing a lot of kits. I actually need to buy a number of kits for myself for my resin conversion kits.
Here are some kits I have in mind for:
BB Sangokuden: Genbuso Ryofu Tallgeese
HGUC 1/144: RX-78-3 Full Armor 7th Gundam
HG 1/100: Arios Gundam
MG 1/100: Zaku 2 F/J (I only need this to convert it to Dra-C)
That's all the models I have in mind for now. I think I will be able to produce all the basics in a few videos with the first set of kits I will be getting. Anyways, if you guys have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment on my Facebook Page and I will answer as soon as possible. Also, if you want to donate, click the button on the top of this page. Thank you =D

The Sartorialist has been posting photos from the early 1900's and I am absolutely smitten. As with all photos, each one has a story. I imagine what life was like back then as I'm reading each one. All I can see is romance, glamour and beauty. Seriously, they're all so good looking.
^her story was quite funny
^ohmahgoodness so goodlooking
^him too
I know my grandparents have photos from when they were young... Hopefully J and I will get to use them for our wedding... to acknowledge our family and history. =)
My grandpa, who is a retired pastor, has pictures of him and my grandmother walking with bibles in hand. It's quite cute. He also has family portraits from when he was about 10 years old. Can I just say, what a good looking family! hehe. My granddaddy was a honey collector(which explains my grandpa's love of honey haha). He became a very successful businessman and his family lived a comfortable life. That wasn't the case for my grandma. She lived a humble life.. sometimes going a day without dinner. Her family portrait was taken when my grandmother was about 3 years old. She had the craziest, messiest set of hair and a runny nose as well. LOL She laughs now too, but you can tell by the way she talks that it was not easy living back then.
I love my grandparents so so much. I can't wait to hear more stories so I can share them with my children and they can share with their children. =)

Like everyone else in America/the world, here's hoping that our elected leaders actually work together for the betterment of those that put them in office. It's not about one individual but everyone collectively. I don't live in some altruistic fantasy but the system is designed to bring the best and brightest together so that they can compromise and find the best solution for everyone...that hasn't been happening. No man made system will ever be perfect but I am certain we can do better than we have been. To you (elected) leaders...we will be watching.

Primer Dugout (and link of the day) 4-17-2012
New York Tribune, April 17, 1912:
I don't know if quote fingers had been invented in 1912, but this would have been a pretty good use for them. You may recall from yesterday's dugout that Cobb stormed out of Chicago and went home because he didn't like his hotel room. It's not much of a stretch to think that "the consent of Jennings" is a nice way to say that Ee-Yah suspended The Georgia Peach for a few days.

Ogden City [Utah] Evening Standard:
O'Fallon, Ill., April 17 -- The Chicago National league baseball team had a narrow escape from serious injury when the B. & O. S. W. train bearing the players from St. Louis to Cincinnati jumped the track here at 10:15 last night, hitting a spread rail nineteen miles from St. Louis.Washington Times:
Dr. Harry Gessler, the Nationals' veteran outfielder, sold last winter...to the Kansas City club, of the American Association, is done with baseball forever.If he spends a year at Hopkins, then goes overseas for eighteen months, that means he'll be in Germany until...October 1914. That should work out well.
Actually, Gessler played part of the 1913 season for Kansas City and then started the 1914 season as the manager of the Pittsburgh Rebels. He was slightly more successful than the Russian Second Army at Tannenberg. But only slightly.
Only three pitchers with 50+ starts born on April 17, and only four with 10+ starts. Shaky pitching staff for the Birthday Team.3. Dag Nabbit at ExactlyAsOld.com Posted: April 17, 2012 at 08:29 AM (#4108688)
And it's entirely possible that the third baseman could refuse to take the field alongside the center fielder. If that happens, Ferguson plays RF, Walling plays third, and we tell Cap where he can stick it. The Birthday League is fully integrated.

Both Games of the Day are relatively unimpressive in this entry - April 16 is apparently not a great day for highly exciting baseball.8. Tom Nawrocki Posted: April 17, 2012 at 08:06 PM (#4109218)
Yesterday: Orioles 10, White Sox 4 (10). You'd think a game-tying rally in the 9th to force extras would do pretty well... and it's not that this game does badly by any means. But much of the scoring (particularly the late scoring) was based around solo homers (Wieters, Reimold, and Jones in the 8th and 9th, rallying Baltimore from a 4-1 deficit), which don't extend the drama as much as protracted rallies. And the last remaining vestige of hope for extra-inning excitement was wiped out by a Wieters grand slam that pushed the margin to 6. (Incidentally, Wieters is doing pretty well so far - .344, 12 homers, 1.212 OPS. Maybe He's finally arrived.)
Last year: Rays 4, Twins 3. Another 9th-inning comeback that didn't have much leading up to it. The Twins took the lead early; the Rays threatened in the third, fourth, and fifth, but never actually tied the game, and the Twins led 3-1 going into the 8th. Matt Joyce cut the margin in half with an RBI single, and then Joe Nathan melted down again: Ben Zobrist led off the 9th with a solo homer, and a walk-steal-walk sequence put runners on first and second. One out later, Nathan was pulled, putting Jose Mijares in position to give up Johnny Damon's eventual walkoff single.
Proof, I suppose, that even relatively tame days of baseball can produce good games.

My bad, 4 homers. No idea where 12 came from.
Moyer got his old man win!
He should probably take the rest of the year off to rest up and get one next year at 50.

Local Food Support Network
Our mantra is Conscious Collaboration, by understanding the enormity of the challenges our current food system is experiencing and the price our collective is paying, the time for a larger group approach is at hand. We would like to be one of the catalysts for this group. With the inclusion of the many diverse active participants that are doing the work and making our voices heard by elected officials, candidates, educator and the eating public. Creating a "Digital Meet-Up". Helping to bring greater scale to the movement.
Our Site's Purpose is to serve as, "a digital aggregator", supporting and advocating consciousness in Food Choices and Availability," by partnering, supporting and promoting existing effective programs that advocate fair, fresh, local foods and their availability to all. The current challenges, shortcomings and dysfunctions of our food system are appallingly apparent. The simple recognition of this public challenge is in itself a call to action for those of us who share these concerns.
Local Food Support Network is a grass roots effort focusing attention on the Who's, How's and Why's of "Growing, Buying, Preparing and Eating of fair fresh local food"; while advocating for increased availability. Our challenge is considerable in that a combination of old habits and lack of a positive frame of reference has resulted in rampant obesity, malnutrition and poor food options. Our part of this solution is to connect the local farmer to the local eater by supporting existing groups and programs. This includes, but is not limited to, supporting educators, sharing their knowledge and programs with their students and families by connecting them with other like-minded efforts.
Increasing the number of home, urban and community gardens both making available fresh produce for the gardens and the ability to share their bounty.
As our mission becomes clearer and the need more evident, we seek partners in the solution. From those who need, to those who can feed, we can be the bridge to everyone in the Farming, Fair Fresh Food and Nutrition sphere.
Our goal is to establish a clearinghouse of information and best practices, Local Food Support Network will disseminate to Schools (growing, preparing and nutritional instruction) Farmers (supporting the Farm Bill, creating a Terminal Market for local farmers and rallying to overcome other challenges) and our Returning Veterans (to find healing and purpose) in agricultural employment and food services industries. The returning veteran aspect is coming together rapidly as we form partnerships with existing educational, governmental and NGO's currently serving the effort.
Conscious Collaboration through social media interaction is our mantra and we believe our efforts and the design of our site, dovetails harmoniously with many current programs. Assist us in shaping and executing this space for positive change and tackling a system that seems out of control.
We as a collative can bring our message to the scale that is need to make the major changes that are necessary.
We look forward to getting your feedback, support and possible participation in making our programs responsive to the community's needs and responding to the food challenges of today.
Our To-Do list, ready to expand with your input:
- Broadcast fundraising efforts by our community.
- Bringing together the parties need to expand and accelerate the conversion of Vacant Lots-2-Planting Plots.
- Working with and assisting vital programs like FOOD DAY 2012 and other national programs to get local legs and participation.
- Creating and bringing more attention to the web based information sharing discussions that are vital to a more harmonious approach to the mission through webinars and video/audio conference calls.
- Publishing information on new books, videos and other timely information.

A mid-movie scene in Captain America: The Winter Soldier gives clues to what Walt Disney's Marvel Studios has planned at the cinema. Fool contributor Tim Beyers explains the reveal, and what it means, in the following video.
Thus far, Marvel has been cagey about its plans for future movies. We know that Guardians of the Galaxy is due on Aug. 1, followed by Avengers: Age of Ultron next May and then Ant-Man on July 17, 2015, with three more scheduled but untitled Marvel movies to follow in 2016 and 2017.
A mid-movie reveal in Captain America: The Winter Soldier suggests at least one of those pictures is going to introduce fans and investors to Dr. Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth in Marvel's comic book universe.
Specifically, one of the film's many antagonists speaks of the need to pre-emptively eliminate emerging threats such as "Stephen Strange," the civilian name of the surgeon-turned-mystic. The implication, Tim says, is that we'll see Marvel bring the character to life on the big screen soon. Scheduling details could come by San Diego Comic-Con or before.
For Marvel's business, adding Dr. Strange is important for expanding the range of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Think of it as akin to the heroes headed for Netflix or Guardians of the Galaxy. What those properties do for expanding the street-level and cosmic elements of the Marvel universe, Dr. Strange could open portals to the mystical dimensions that -- for now -- remain confined to the comic books.
Do you agree? Have you seen Captain America: The Winter Soldier? If so, how do you expect the revelations within to impact Marvel's business? Please leave a comment to let us know what you think, including whether you would buy, sell, or short Disney stock at current prices.
A business plan for tapping into a $14.4 trillion investment opportunity
You approach movies such as Captain America: The Winter Soldier with a discerning eye, and like us, you knew that Disney struck gold when it purchased Marvel in 2009. You know what? That single business insight could have tripled your money.

How Grand Cherokee Has Driven Jeep Innovation
Midsize SUV emerges as nameplate's primary go-to-vehicle for innovation and cutting-edge features.
While most of the anticipation among Jeep fans is centered on the new 2018 Jeep Wrangler, it's become crystal clear that gauging the future of innovation with the American nameplate lies with the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Take, for example, the Grand Cherokee Summit. Although the more premium model stays true to the American nameplate's fundamentals, it also comes with a number of features most would expect to find on pricier luxury vehicles.
The idea of how the Grand Cherokee has impacted the evolution of Jeep became even more apparent at the 2017 Easter Jeep Safari. Specifically, it was the chance to compare a current Trailhawk with the Grand One Concept, a '93 model of the Jeep restored as part of this year's 25th Anniversary for the Grand Cherokee.
Whether it's the Grand One's "old-school" cassette deck, or its classic woodgrain accents, the contrast between the '93 model and the current Grand Cherokee is startling when you have an opportunity to compare the vehicles together.
Mark Allen, head of Jeep design, said the Grand One is a great example of how Jeep has evolved over the years.
"There are four generations of Grand Cherokee now. And it was fun for us to grab a '93 and look at the contrast. A — the size, it's grown a lot. The technology is way more sophisticated than it was originally [as detailed in the interior photo of the Grand One Concept above]. And just the feel of it. Even though every Grand Cherokee kind of evolves a little bit, in 25 years it's crazy to think how much it has changed," said the Jeep design chief.
CHECK OUT: What Forum Members Are Saying About the Grand One
Even something as simple as the Grand One's seat design compared to the current Grand Cherokee, showcases the drastic evolution of the mid-size Jeep over the past two decades, said Allen.
The Jeep exec also pointed out some of the innovation driving the new 707-horsepower Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. Like the application of an all-wheel-drive system in the high-powered Jeep, unveiled at the 2017 New York International Auto Show.
In fact, when it comes to high-tech innovations, Allen said it was much easier to explore new ideas on the Grand Cherokee than the American nameplate's more iconic Wrangler. That's because of the history tied to the longstanding Jeep.
"When you talk about putting technology suites in a Grand Cherokee, no problem," explains Allen. "But in a Wrangler, the conversation changes inside to, 'Is that right for Wrangler?'"
However, Allen, who has worked on all four generations of the Grand Cherokee, did note that designing the Grand Cherokee comes with a unique challenge of its own.
"Every time we work on a Grand Cherokee, we take the wheelbase and we grow it and grow it. There's a magical size. People don't want that Grand Cherokee to get too big," said Allen.
Of course, Jeep is revving up to debut a new Grand Wagoneer to appeal to those in need of a bigger option. And we expect that the forthcoming flagship luxury model will be packed with a lot of new Jeep innovations, as well.

Next tattoo idea art
For my next tattoo I am thinking I want Joan of Arc on my lower leg. So I am scouting for pictures of her to tweak or use. This one I found in a kids magazine at the doctors office today.
It may be abit romanticized but I like it. I'm going to keep looking though.

tattoo facelift
Before: here is my shoulder tat from 1992ish. Originally done at Tattoo America Hampton Beach NH. It was flash I picked out and asked for rainbow colored wings on. It was also a cover up of a smaller broken heart. It got old and tired looking and I didn't like how the had colors faded. (and wasn't thrilled with the original colors in the first place) I also didn't like how the left wing looked one dimensional yet the right one looked ok.
Yesterday I had it re-done by Chris at Atlantic Studio in Rockland Maine. I think he did fabulous with what I gave him to work with.
Needless to say I am VERY pleased with the results. It isn't a tattoo I would pick out for myself today (ahh youth) but at least now I am not embarrassed to have it on my body.
Kids let this be a lesson to you to always pick the colors you want in your tattoo. Not every tattoo can be fixed later on. And even those that can will have limitations. I got lucky.

A Freaky Coincidence
So last night I finally counted all the stars on my leg. In a twist of fate the number is exactly 42. How cool is that?

Happy Mothers Day!
Yesterday being mothers day I decided it was the perfect time for that family tattoo I had been planning. My idea was constellations representing the kids and my husband. It fits perfectly with the Lion King thing we have going here. (Long story-see older posts) A big plus is that DH's sign is Leo. What better to go right above Mufasa's head? Here is some of the work in progress. (my sister came with and took the pics)
Chris of Atlantic Studio hard at work. D and I had a blast joking around with him. He made the experience fun. Not all tattooists are good at that part of the job. (some personalities just mesh together better than others too) He was very cool.
This is my DD's sign, Virgo. (left side of calf) OK I took these photos so excuse the bad quality. It isn't easy snapping pics of my own leg with a crappy camera.
DS's sign, Aquarius. (wrapping around back of calf)
And DH's sign, Leo. (on right of calf above previous Mufasa head, also showing part of Aquarius)
It probably isn't technically correct, not all those constellations are in the sky at the same time. And not all stars may be represented. However with tattoos sometimes it is about the representation, not the technicalities that is most important. I am very pleased with the results. He did a fabulous job.

Dog tatoos
Just a couple of dog related tats I found to share.
Someday I want to get my akitas paw print as a tat somewhere. I am to nervous to try to get a portrait because I am so picky.
This pug looks excellent though.

Unfortunatly I did not find anything remotely similar for Law Enforcement. Just a few here and there. This one above was under "patriotic" on a regular gallery. I know there are plenty of cops getting work related tattoos. I've even seen a few of them.

Surfing for tattoos
Check out the awesome tattoo blog I ran across. It will keep you busy for a few hours for sure. (It did me.) http://www.tao-of-tattoos.com/tattoo-designs-blog.html
Not that I need any more ideas. My list so far for the possible future includes:
Star constellations added above The Lion King tat. (to represent the family and my love for stargazing)
Re-coloring and re-doing my heart wings. (a tat facelift so to speak)
The USMC blood stripe with the words Semper Fidelis (in red) down my right leg.
Something with Aslan. (Combines my thing for God with a beautiful animal.)
I am toying with a Disney themed dog tat on a leg. Trying to work out the details in my head. It would take multiple sessions as I have it in my head thus far.
Joan of Arc. (Mixes faith with armor and strong women)
A celtic tat, either a Pat fish design or something in gaelic.
I would love to have a half sleeve on one arm. Something beautiful, colorful and timeless. Perhaps a repro of some artwork I admire.
I also have a weird scar on my collarbone from a surgery that I would love to either get covered or get something opposite of to distract from it. (busted during judo-needed a plate to put humpty dumpty back together)
Hubby isn't nearly as jazzed about all my tat ideas. Especially the half sleeve. He prefers tats on women only be in specific places. Or should I say HIS woman. No arms, necks, or breast work. That only leaves my legs, and back as most of my remaining canvas. Considering the time they take, the pain they cause during the process, and the costs involved, I would say he is safe from me running out to get a full body job anytime soon. Good thing though. (Though if I looked like this
I'm sure he wouldn't give a crap.) VBG

lion tattoo
Not being the brightest bulb in the box last night, it didn't occur to me to snap a recent pic of my tattoo at the same time I took one of my sister's. This morning I realized my error and tried to get a good shot of it. It turns out that my camera really is crap when it comes to close ups of this size. I have no focus control. I swear it isn't as blurry as the photo shows. If it were I would be seriously PO'd at the tattooist.
I also learned that it is also not easy trying to get a pic of your own ankle. I have it on the inside of my left leg so I can see it easily myself. I will try to get someone with a real camera to snap me some decent pics in the future.

Those tattoo shows
Wow I just started this and I already have another photo to share. I ran into my sister at a family event and grabbed a quick shot of her tat.
Yes it is in the classic "tramp stamp" area of the lower back. (Hey I didn't give it the name so don't get mad at me.) It is a pretty large celtic tree of life. I went with her to get it a couple of years ago.
I also wanted to add a comment about the popular tattoo shows on TLC. (Miami Ink, LA Ink, London Ink) I have read online that some of them are set up and not actual tattoo shops. Lots of drama for TV's sake added, etc. Whatever. I am going on the record and saying "I don't give a rat's patootie if they are real or not. I watch them, and enjoy them, for the tattoo's they show." I hope that clarifies that. Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

lion tattoos design
I just love tattoos. So I thought I would start a blog just about tattoos that I love. Mine and others that I find online or see in the flesh. I am by no means a tattoo expert. Just a fan of the art form. Here is my first. Technically my second. I got it back in 92 and it is a cover up of a smaller heart. I love the heart but the wings need improving. The left one looks one dimensional. I am hoping to get the colors re-done soon too. It was done at a place in Hampton Beach New Hampshire called Tattoo America. It represented freedom from a bad relationship.
This is my most recent one. (a bad pic, sorry) I need to get a recent healed pic of it to share. (geez I am pasty white!) I also went back and had a few more lines added to the mane. This is the inspiration it came from.
It is a family tattoo for me as a Lion King theme has special meaning for us. I am planning on adding some star constellations to it above his head to represent the kids and hubby too. I just haven't decided what color to get them done in.
Anyhow, welcome to the blog. I will be adding to it as I go along. Now I need to go be mom and cook supper. Not my strong suit. Wish me luck.

These Cymbidium Orchids bloom right about now in Maine. In the winter. I have a few plants that were given to me by an orchid enthusiast who occasionally looks to "downsize" his collection. This summer he mentioned that if the plants he still has "don't produce flowers" he is just getting rid of all of them. On my last visit to the library in Town, I noticed a large, multi flowering pot of these. So, I guess he will be keeping the orchids.
My Cymbidiums are up in the upstairs bathtub---doing nothing. They set no flowering shoots this year. In fact, it's been a few years since mine did much of anything. I have one white one and the rest are pink. Well, they would be if they bloomed. They are making nice green leaves.
I had a follow up visit to my regular doctor this week. Still coughing. Did any of you know that a unproductive cough is a sign of asthma? I didn't. And for the months and months I have suffered with this cough-- and my doctor failed to add up 2 plus 2. Now I have an asthma inhaler to go with my rescue inhaler. One is for regular asthma and the rescue for reactive asthma brought on by cold air, shoveling snow, breathing woodsmoke. The cough has lessened and the wheezing is gone. But now I am dizzy and feel like I have the "flu". You know--that slightly odd drifty feeling the flu brings with it. If I move my head too quickly--well, I shouldn't do that. I don't do well with new medicines.
I went onto a Lyme disease website last night and found a list of "managing the disease" issues. Included was breathlessness "air hunger", unexplained chronic cough, unexplained sudden weight gain, off balance "tippy" feeling (this is exactly how I described it in my journal), word search, name block (I think I mentioned this in a post, not being able to remember names of people or things?), constant ringing in ears. All of this began a few weeks after my three weeks of Lyme treatment pills ended.
I mentioned all of this to my doctor but she just isn't interested and she feels the 3 weeks of pills took care of it. Period. Yes, I know--get a new doctor. But Lyme's isn't something doctors feel comfortable treating. And, if it's gone on for a long time, it isn't even treatable anymore, people are just damaged. My carpenter has a brother with Lyme's disease. And he can't work anymore because a carpenter has to be able to remember the measurement as he goes from the window (as an example) to the saw to cut the trim or sash. He gets to the saw and has no idea why he's there.
I am reading the second of the books written by Jorgen Brekke, Breathless. I had to order the first Where Monsters Dwell so I could read them in order. The setting is Norwegian. Dark, cold, brooding and quite bloody. On Netflix I am three episodes into Hinterlands. Wales. Dark, wet brooding. On regular television we are 4 episodes into The Bastard Executioner. Medieval, dark, brooding and very very bloody. It's a theme. In-between, while waiting for the first of the Brekke books--I re-read a lovely little love story--Becoming Finola. Connie you would like it. Ireland.
In March, the Americans are back as is Orphan Black.
I made myself a wonderful salad for a late lunch yesterday (to even out a day which began with waffles). I used my after-Christmas purchased Spiralizer to cut curly strings of carrot. Do you have any idea how amazingly more delicious a carrot can be when it is presented in a tangle of curls? I didn't and now I will never eat them cut any other way.

Today we steal a page, literally, from the Legend's playbook. A friend passed along Charlie Papazian's Microbrewed Adventures. As one would expect in anything written by Mr. Papazian, the book closes with a chapter of various recipes scaled down for the homebrewer. In keeping with our Italian theme we bring you Firenze Pale Ale. Below are the details - for better or worse. If you want to know how brew it properly you will have to purchase the book.
So, with the latest storm of the century bearing down on the nation's capital, my trusty assistant (pictured) and I spend a day in the kitchen together. We opted for the all grain recipe (which loosely translates to all day brewing).
Original Gravity: 1.042
Final Gravity: 1.014 (or something close to it)
Primary Fermentation: Approximately 7 days
Secondary Fermentation: Approximately 7 days - preferably in a cellar (55 degrees F)
8 lbs Munton's Pale Malt
12 oz Briess Crystal Malt
1.5 oz Golding Leaf Hops (5% alpha)
1 oz Fuggles Hop Leafs (5.7% alpha)
1 oz Fuggles Hop Pellets (4.7% alpha)
1/4 tsp Carlson Irish Moss
White Labs European Ale Yeast
3/4 cup corn sugar for priming
Add 9 quarts of 140 degrees F water to the crushed grains, stir, and hold at 132 degrees F for 30 minutes. Add 4.5 quarts of boiling water, bring temperature up to 154 degrees F, and hold for 30 minutes. Raise the temperature to 171 degrees F, lauter and sparge with 3.5 gallons of 171 degrees F water. Collect approximately 5.5 gallons of runoff. Add 60-minute hops (Golding Leaf Hops) and bring to a full boil.
Boil time is 60 minutes. At 30 minute mark of the boil add 30-minute hops (Fuggles Hop Leafs). At the 50 minute mark add the Irish Moss. At 55 minutes add the final hops (Fuggles Pellets). Strain and sparge the wort into sanitized fermenter. Bring the total volume to 5 gallons by adding cold water if necessary. Aerate the wort very well. Pitch the yeast at 70.3 degrees F (70-75 degrees F).
From the recipe (b/c our brew just started doing its thing): Primary fermentation is approximately one week. Secondary fermentation is also approximately one week recommends cellar the brew at 55 degrees if you have the capability.
While you are brewing we recommend you quench your thirst with the Great Divide Brewing Company's DPA Denver Pale Ale.

Sail Boat Project has teamed up with Dementia Adventure to organise subsidised sailing trips for people living with dementia in Sussex and their carers.
SBP are offering subsidised places for people living with dementia and a family member, carer or friend to join us on one day (£110 for two people) or three day (£330 for two people) sailing trips in May and July 2017 along the south coast on our training vessels 'Jalapeno' and 'Cascadeur'.
This work is supported by a grant from Sussex Community Foundation.
"We hope to create lasting memories for people with dementia" said Sail Boat Project skipper Ben Gillett. "These trips will give people with dementia the opportunity to have engaging experiences in a safe environment with their family or carers, who will also benefit from the new and exciting experience." Our commercially endorsed skippers will be assisted by two volunteers on each trip, all of whom have been trained in working with people with dementia by Dementia Adventure.
We believe that sailing is an enriching co-operative experience and our past community work has shown how therapeutic it can be for people with complex needs.
* Sail Boat Project is a workers' co-operative operating out of Chichester harbour and Southampton water, working along the south coast to widen access to sailing.
* Dementia Adventure is the UK champion for outdoor activity holidays for people living with dementia
* Sail Boat Project is an RYA Sail Training Centre and a RYA Sailability Organisation.
