Nair Xavier
"Ermo" is a reflection of the dryness of the African deserts and Africa as the cradle of the world and foundation of the human conscience. Nair Xavier's collection also uses as inspiration the lost Civilization of Ancient Egypt marked by development and wisdom and also utilitarian clothing, which reflects on the aesthetic and proportions of the collection. "Ermo" starts with the use of neutral colors, then passes by a mixture of geometrical patterns and finishes with strong warms tones.
Olga Noronha
"Hair|lucination" is Olga Noronha's collection. This collection emphasizes the lack and loss of hair due to Alopecia and Chemotherapy secondary effects. The result is a collection that uses an abundance of artificial hair, in various different forms, shapes and colors, almost resulting in a "quasi-(capillary) hallucination". The footwear seen on the show, which resulted of a partnership between Olga Noronha and Reebok, was auctioned during and after the show and all the profits will revert to IPO.
Ricardo Andrez
Ricardo Andrez presented "In-between", a collection that is thought around the concept of transparency; transparency as a host and a vehicle for color, but also a reflection about how people can be characterized as "transparent" and how that is an indication of someone's character. This resulted in a collection where is chosen what to show and what to hide, playing with transparency and opacity, using either man-made materials or natural elements, ranging from black, grey and white, with notes of silver, blue, lime-green and yellow.
Christophe Sauvat
Christophe Sauvat is a brand that designs for a modern, cosmopolitan woman, who travels the globe; that translates into the brand's collections with eclectic prints, also seen in parts of this Spring/Summer 2016 collection. It is also very present in this collection the use of a diversity of colors – black, white, blue, orange, pink, red – textures (cotton, gauze, leather) and an amazing application work with beads and leather, which once more takes us back to the Christophe Sauvat woman.
Valentim Quaresma
Through the use of materials such as resins, brass, anodized aluminum, copper, turquoises, polyester, cotton thread and neoprene, Valentim Quaresma presented "Habitat", a collection where a fine line separates accessories from clothing through the creation of an imaginary ecosystem inspired by animal architecture and the possible wildlife that would live in it. Kitsch is revisited and transposed to an underground universe where turquoise, red, black and metals are the predominant colors.
Catarina Sequeira presents "Reincarnation of gender through art", a collection that its start point is a reflection about gender and how art have been exploring the theme, taking in consideration the work of Kimido Yoshida – Japanese painter and photographer-, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie – Nigerian author of the book "We should all be Feminist"- and Sascha Braunig – Canadian surrealist artist. Catarina Sequeira's intention was not to be literal with her references; instead, the collection shows some abstract shapes that force the viewer to consider the figure in lieu of uncanny pattern. The result is a high-functioning but also unpredictable collection with hemmed stripes that create organic 3D shapes, the painterly styles, shorts and skirts punctuated by ruffles. The materials used were knitted silk, nylon, cotton with metallic print, painterly nappa, changeant, seersucker viscose and printed muslin in colors such as black, white, blue indigo, metallic blue, coral and mustard.
Miguel Vieira
In "Mondrian", the graphic expression was the direct source of inspiration of Miguel Vieira's collection. A white base, a primary color (cobalt blue) and black were the main elements for the graphic inspiration of the collection. Mondrian's paintings – abstract and minimalist, with geometric shapes and demonstrations of color blocks – were translated into the collection through fabrics manually woven to form patterns that remind us of his paintings. The abstract and minimalism are also transported to the silhouette and modeling of the collection either with sporty details, or with a strong sartorial presence, the balance is found in the Nobility and in the Informal, in Geometry and in Fluidity. The materials present in the collection were mesh, grosgrain, silk crepe, perforated leather, cottons, net with leather applications, manufactured braided fabrics, pure virgin wool and structured patterned fabrics.
Ricardo Preto
This Spring/Summer 2016, Ricardo Preto presented "Effortless", a collection that was thought for a traveled woman and that uses light materials such as silk, cotton and modal in fluid, long and draped silhouettes to achieve an effortless chic look. Also Ricardo Preto due to the transparencies and the asymmetrical layers that he uses in his looks, it comes across the androgyny and lady lingerie that he used as inspiration. The colors featured in the collection were blue, green, red, nude, black and white.
Alexandra Moura
Alexandra Moura presented "the miracle of the roses", a collection where the inspiration comes from a tale that crossed centuries until today – "and the King saw roses out of season". The intention is that the tale will live, change and be brought from a cruel world, dominated by jealousy and greed, into a new world – the future – ruled by peace and kindness. In this collection, silhouette and details were worked to retell the story, in a continuous change as if they itself were a miracle. Holiness is revealed in the details that, metamorphosed, bring a whole new language to this ancient tale. Heavy fabrics are unified with the more ethereal in colors such as pink, red, black, white and blue.

I just thought I would share my first Fragrance Direct haul which also happens to be my first Dainty Doll haul while most of the products are still available and at crazy low prices. I had been eyeing up Dainty Doll on Asos for ages constantly adding it to a basket but never hitting checkout. I just wasn't sure about the brand and to be fair it wasn't the cheapest brand going so I always opted for something safer.
For the cheeky price of £1.99 or €2.29 a pop though I couldn't pass it up. So here is what I got...
I got Two Cream blushes at £1.99/€2.29 each
Right | Paper Roses - A gorgeous pale girly pink
Left | Orange County Girl - Like a cream version of Nars Orgasm
I also got the two Powder blushes again only £1.99/€2.29 each
Right | My Girl - A Barbie Pink but still on the pale side
Left | You Are My Sunshine - Pretty much a dupe for Nars Orgasm
I'm incredibly pleased with my orders . There are still a lot of these things available, so pop over to Fragrance Direct here if you're looking for a bit of a bargain!

TOKYO, March 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — On Feb. 8, 2018, Yanagiya Honten Co., Ltd., a cosmetic maker of Tokyo, and "Shigoto Juku (cram school for work) for 16-year-olds," a Tokyo-based specified NPO corporation that provides educational support for high schools, held a career education class with Taiwanese actress Aining Yao as a special collaboration lesson at Yokohama Overseas Chinese School in Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, a school where many Chinese students living in Japan or students who have close ties with the Taiwan region attend. The news of the participation of the Taiwanese actress wasn't informed and it became a surprising class for the students.
(Photo: https://kyodonewsprwire.jp/prwfile/release/M101931/201803051567/_prw_PI1fl_3WCENqlX.png)
This class was a social activity organized as part of a career education program jointly undertaken by Yanagiya Honten and Shigoto Juku for 16-year-olds.
In the 2-day special class, an interactive lesson about harmonizing with local people, which is necessary for promotional corporate activities in foreign countries, was held in an interview style in addition to "publicity and advertisement" conducted by companies as part of communication activities. A Yanagiya Honten official in charge of PR activities gave a lecture about jobs that are difficult to learn about in class using actual experiences as examples. Also, Aining Yao, who is active in both the Taiwan region and Japan, participated in the class as an example of transnational promotional activities. As the students had not been informed of the participation of the Taiwanese actress beforehand, they could not hide their amazement when she made a surprise appearance.
Behind the special class was the wish on the part of Yanagiya Honten to convey the wonderfulness of working across countries to the students in Japan after the company signed an advertisement contract with Aining Yao as part of promotional activities in the Taiwan region.
Contents and atmosphere of the lesson
In the class conducted on Feb. 8, Shimon Sugai from the Public Relations Department of Yanagiya Honten stood on the podium and gave a lecture about episodes on the production sites of advertisements and the employment of actors and actresses before Taiwanese actress Aining Yao made a surprise appearance and gave a lesson in an interview style. In her interview, she spoke to the students about topics such as "what made her choose this career," "what she values in modeling and acting" and "differences between Japan and the Taiwan region." Afterwards, she answered various questions with a smile when she was interviewed by the students. To the question of "the differences between an actress and a model," she said, "As a model, it is important to be conscious of the camera and posing and create facial expressions while I am expected not to be conscious of the camera and express the real me as an actress." The students listened with great interest. At the beginning of the interview, the students were nervous but gradually became more relaxed, and it developed into a harmonious class with smiles and laughter. In a closing greeting in the class, Aining Yao encouraged them by telling them, "There are infinite possibilities for all of you being in the stage of high school students. I hope you can take on the challenge of trying things you can do only at your age or things you enjoy regardless of which country you will be in."

Gophers embark on Fleck voyage with win
It was not the prettiest game ever played, but, in the end, the Gophers walk away with a victory. New Minnesota Gophers head coach P.J. Fleck is the third head coach for the University of Minnesota Gophers program in as many years.
Fleck's mantra, row the boat, is evident, from the helmets to the walls under the stadium, it is hard to see anyone forgetting the message.
The quarterback tandem of red senior Connor Rhoda and sophomore Demery Croft alternated playing. The highlight was when Rhoda hit receiver Tyler Johnson for a 61 yard touchdown. Running back Shannon Brooks scored a one yard touchdown as well.
The team has a lot of work to do despite the 17-7 win. They will be traveling to Oregon to take on the Oregon State Beavers on Saturday, Sept. 9. Stay tuned for more photos and news from Minnesota sports.

Our special guest Jason Segel, who plays David Foster Wallace in The End of the Tour, tells us what was scary about taking on the role, what it was like to attend the Oscars with The Muppets, and how the help of friends like Paul Rudd has raised the profile of this tiny— but Oscar-buzzy— indie film. Plus, we go over the highs and lows of Steve Jobs, talk about your answers to our question about which overlooked talents deserve awards attention this year, and make our bold, probably foolish picks for who will win Best Actress.

What is the Suitable Place to Put a Water Softener?
Does your home have a water softener you want to replace? All you have to do is get the new one and install it in place of the old one. However, if you do not have one, consider these locations:
General Location
A water softener should not be in busy places but where it is easy to connect it to the plumbing system. Usually, that is in the utility room, basement, close to the water heater or in the garage.
When installing, make sure that you leave enough space for hustle free servicing and your reverse osmosis system.
Do not install your unit in areas where freezing is likely to occur. It shall cause irreversible damage and render your warranty useless. If temperatures are likely to go below 4 degrees centigrade, protect the device by draining it and removing the pressure. You also want to avoid direct sunshine. Therefore, outdoor installation is not an option.
Required Hookups
Your water softener requires a drain, for example, a utility sink or a floor drain. Besides that, it needs a power outlet nearby that is not switch controlled. It should have the ability to handle the necessary amperage.
Pipe Connection
To soften all the water used by the house, install the unit before the water heater. That helps in reducing mineral buildup inside the heater as well. In homes where drinking sodium treated water may lead to a health hazard, it is wise to bypass the faucets that are for drinking water like the kitchen sink. You may also soften only the hot side of the water system leaving the cold water untouched. That means that your cold water shall remain hard.
You could also go for a salt-free softening device. With this one, do not put the softening device after the water heater. That is because temperatures above 43 degrees centigrade could damage the unit rendering your warranty useless. You can check other water filtration products on water filter mag.
- Clean the area
Ensure that the area where you are placing the softener is thoroughly clean and level. Put the unit where you desire it to be so that you can measure for the pipes for connection. Pay close attention to the unit's orientation; INLET must get attached to your water supply pipe; OUTLET must go towards the heater.
- Stop the supply of water to the house
Stop any water or power from getting to the heater. After that, open up some of the bottom-floor fixtures to drain water out of the plumbing.
- Cut into the water supply plumbing
You could do that with the help of a pipe cutter. Then install the L-fittings so that you run two pipes to the outlet and inlet ports of the bypass valve. Once again, pay close attention to the piping direction: hard water coming from the water supply shall flow into the softener inlet. Then the soft water shall flow into the house water supply (faucets and fixtures). If you need an outlet to carry hard water, you must add a T-fitting to the plumbing before the softener unit and then run it to the outlet.
- Pipe installation
Cut and then install the plumbing leading to the bypass valve. Using solder, join all the nipples and fittings before connecting them to the plastic bypass valve. That is to prevent any damages to the valve due to the heat. If your pipes are large, employ a reducing fitting to lay pipes of the right size. Connect the pipes to the softener using the compression fittings that come with the unit.
Note: Does your household electrical system relay on the plumbing for secure grounding? Then you should install a jumper across the unit installation pipes for proper grounding.
- Using a clamp, join the draining hose to the softener and then run it to a utility sink or drain. The hose's end should not be less than 2" above the drain hole. That is to stop any waste water from running back. You should clamp it securely.
Note: the draining hose size should be in accordance with its run distance and the height in relation to the inlet. For example, a line whose diameter is ½" can go for 15 ft if the outlet is at a lower elevation than the inlet. The drain line must not be over ten ft above the ground.
- Following the manufacturer's directions, connect the tank's overflow tubing and any other needed assembling.
- Put the bypass valve in a 'bypass' position. Turn on the water so it can run through the unit for some minutes. That is to flush out any buildup and remove air from the pipes. You also need to turn on the water supply to the water heater and switch on the power. Now is the time to check for leakages.
- After plugging the softener to a power outlet put the valve in 'backwash' position. Press and hold the 'regenerate' button for the valve to go to backwash.
- Open the inlet control on the bypass valve slowly. That is to expel any air build up. The moment the water starts flowing steadily to the drain the soft explosive sounds stop, you can open the outlet and inlet bypass controls completely. You can now fill the tank with water and salt according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
- Get the power cord back into power, press the 'regenerate' button once again. Then let the unit move to the next step. Repeat this until you get to the 'service' setting. Now you can program all the controls.
I believe that with these detailed steps, the installation just got easier.

"Lust, Caution," the Venice Film Festival's Golden Lion winner for best picture, will be cut by 30 minutes for audiences on the Chinese mainland says The Hollywood Reporter.
Ang Lee's thriller, set in the 1930s, portrays a sexually explicit relationship between a young female spy, played by Tang Wei, and a powerful political figure (Tony Leung) set against the backdrop of turbulent Japanese-occupied Shanghai during WWII.
Lee said that, while the short version remains "reasonable," Chinese mainland audiences might not feel "so uneasy" and "shocked" about the film. In addition to cutting the sex scenes, some violent scenes also are to be cut.

This book is awesome! I'm talking about the NA book, sixth edition. I can literally flip it open to any random page, and find something practical and useful.
I randomly flipped it open to page 19. As I read, I thought to myself, "This was the wrong page to flip to." I was testing my "Any page is practicle and useful" theory. And I found page 19 hard to relate to.
It said things like, "Do we fully accept the fact that our every attempt to stop or to control our using failed?"
My Answer: NO, I don't accept that. I have succeeded.
It also says, "Through this desperation, we sought help in NA. When we come to NA we are physically, mentally, and spiritually bankrupt."
Not me. I was assigned NA as a pathway to earn back 6 months of good time for smoking weed back in 1996. As for being physically, mentally, and spiritually bankrupt… not me! I'm thriving in all three.
I just wasn't feeling page 19. So I tried again, this time flipping to page 113.
It said, "You may not relate to everything you read here – just as you might not identify with everyone who shares in a NA meeting – but we hope that at least some of these voices will touch and inspire you."
Hmmm….page 19 had great meaning to me after all. Empathy, understanding, different perspectives. It's all part of the never ending journey.

The Sun Spot group AR1429 is a very active sun region that has produced recently two major solar flares with coronal mass ejections: the first one was an X1-class on March 5th 04:13UTC, and the second, even more powerful, an X5-class on March 7th at 00:28 UTC.
Several spacecraft have been affected by the heavy radiation and unleashed wave of solar plasma and energetic particles. By example, the Star Tracker units of the probe Venus Express were blinded for 2 days due to the harsh plasma environment in the aftermath of the CME cloud shock wave.
The next images, taken from ESAC on March 10th, 2012, show the Sun in visible and H-alpha, highlighting the AR1429.

HENRIETTE FORTUNY - Portrait of a Muse
Adèle Henriette Nigrin, born in Fontainebleau in 1877, was Mariano Fortuny's wife, lover, muse, partner and co-creator. Fortuny was already a well-known artist when they met in Paris at the beginning of the 20th century. Mariano and Henriette spent 47 years together, living and working inside Palazzo Pesaro degli Orfei, their home and atelier, filled with those fabulous Fortuny lamps and chandeliers, fabrics, photography and paintings. Today, Palazzo Fortuny is one of the most intriguing palaces in Venice.
Henriette thought up the idea for the iconic Delphos silk gown, a must-have for fashionable women at the turn of the last century. In 1896, the 478 BC statue of a chariot driver was found at the Sanctuary of Apollo in Delphi, clad in a pleated robe. About 10 years later, that statue inspired the Fortunys to create the Delphos gown, which has become a work of art in its own right.
After the death of Mariano in 1949, Henriette dedicated her life to keeping the memory of the great artist alive. She donated Palazzo Fortuny to the city of Venice in 1956.

ROMAINE BROOKS - Paintings, drawing, photographs
Romaine Brooks was born Beatrice Romaine Goddard in Rome in 1874 to wealthy American parents, whose father deserted the family. After an early life in a foster home in New York City as a "child martyr," and near-starvation as a struggling artist in Paris, Rome and Capri, Romaine inherited a fortune in 1902 after her emotionally abusive mother and mentally ill brother died.
Romaine married the pianist John Ellington Brooks, a gay man who had fled England after the trial of Oscar Wilde. She became part of the non-conformist, cosmopolitan community that jumped from the Belle Epoque in Paris, to the island of Capri, and to Venice, challenging the established order.
Romaine had a simultaneous love affair with two heavy-duty women -- the dancer, Ida Rubinstein and the writer, Natalie Clifford Barney -- as well as a romantic affair with Gabriele D'Annunzio that evolved into a strong friendship.
Influenced by Whistler, Romaine was drawn to the color gray, and was the go-to portrait painter for celebrities and aristocrats.

SARAH MOON - A Tribute to Mariano Fortuny
Sarah Moon started life as Marielle Warin, born into to a Jewish family in occupied France in 1941. Initially a model in the swinging sixties under the name "Marielle Hadengue," Marielle Warin next changed her name to Sarah Moon and transformed into one of the major fashion photographers of all time -- in 1972 she was the first female photographer for the legendary Pirelli calendar.
In 1985, she morphed into a fine art photographer, concentrating on gallery and film work, winning awards like the Grand Prix National del Photographie in 1995, and the Prix Nadar in 2008.
Inspired by the soft light of the Venetian lagoon in the winter, and the swirls and patterns of Fortuny fabrics, Sara Moon's photos capture the mystical grandeur that permeates Palazzo Fortuny.
|Erme e Saturni - Ida Barbarigo - Courtesy Museo Fortuny
IDA BARBARIGO - Herms and Saturns
The Venetian artist, Ida Barbarigo, was born in Venice in 1920. Her husband was the artist, Zoran Music; her mother was the painter and poet, Livia Tivoli; her father was the painter, Guido Cadorin. Erme e Saturni is the result of the last two decades of a lifetime of labor and love.
An herm is an ancient Greek sculpture for warding off evil, composed of a head, some kind of torso, and strategically-placed male genitals. Herms were often found at crossroads, inscribed with distances-- sort of like well-endowed signposts with magical powers that protected merchants and travelers.
Hermes was an Olympian god in Greek mythology, who morphed into the Roman god Mercury. Hermes was a phallic god who could move freely between the worlds of the mortals and the divine. The impish Hermes was the messenger of the gods, who liked to play practical jokes on god and man alike.
Saturn was an ancient Roman god, supposedly morphed from the Greek god, Cronus. Saturn and Cronus are both associated with time and the harvest, along with other more gruesome things, but one thing they both had in common is that during their "Golden Age" rule, humans enjoyed the beauty of the earth without labor. Imagine!
Saturnalia, the festival in honor of Saturn, was held from December 17 of the Julian calendar until December 23, which is about the end of December, beginning of January these days -- in other words, just about now. Saturnalia was a time to celebrate free speech, role reversals, gift-giving and lots of partying.
It was also the time of the Winter Solstice, which is on Tuesday, December 22, 2015 at 5:49 Rome time this year. Get your candles ready!

I've been absent from my blog for a looooong time - most of this is due to life throwing up a lot of busy-busy-busy with very little time to do any jewellery or creativeness that way. Well, that and I've been travelling - this time, I've just come back from Vietnam - Hanoi to be exact! A few of us in the choir I sing with travelled there at the invitation of the Vietnam National Symphony Orchestra to sing in a huge-scale celebration of Hanoi's 1000th birthday. The repertoire was Mahler's 8th Symphony, nicknamed 'The Symphony of a Thousand', making it particularly fitting (and challenging, but that's another blog post altogether. Hanoi deserves one of its own.)
The week before I left for Hanoi however, Shauna of Gluten-Free Girl and the Chef blog mentioned something very exciting - Wednesdays cooking from her new book, Gluten-Free Girl and the Chef. If you don't know who Shauna is, she is one of the most inspirational people in the food blogging world that I know of. She's spunky, caring, innovative, and she's been one of the biggest influences in my life as far as being able to survive gluten-free goes.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to get hold of her book yet so I wasn't sure I was going to be able to take part in the Wednesday cooking sessions, and left it at that. However, thanks to Michael Ruhlman's interview with Carol Blymire of 'Alinea at Home' and 'French Laundry at Home' fame, I -was- able to participate in this week's Wednesday - baking pizza!
This is -me- of course, so I -had- to run into problems first reading of the recipe. Corn flour. Now...here in Malaysia, that's what I call corn starch. But corn starch had already been mentioned in the recipe so I was pretty sure that wasn't what was being asked for. A bit of slightly confusing research drew up an article that mentioned Southern cooking and the silky smooth flour made from finely-ground corn meal. Ahhhhhhhhhhh. That helped.
Except I didn't have any of that, and the nearest thing to hand was maize meal, rather coarse-ground. To heck with it, I thought about it for a moment, then grabbed the maize meal, weighed it out on the rickety contraption that -calls- itself a manual kitchen scale but in reality should be more 'Cook's Domestic Torment', and went right ahead with the recipe.
By golly, it worked.
I am not the world's best photographer so the first shot I got of the pizza coming out of the oven is cringe-worthy (and I forgot I had a camera tripod). But I was far, far too excited to even think about proper photography at the time - I had PIZZA. Glorious, safe, pizza!
(Rolling dough into a circle, however - that's another story. The adage that anyone who can draw a freehand circle will make a good artist? LIES. -MY- circle looked like someone patched together a 2-year old's sense of geometry and mangled it with a Picasso perspective. Thankfully, that's got no bearing on the taste of it or I'd be in trouble by now.)
This morning, I got some better pictures of the project that hopefully do the recipe a bit more justice.
1) I mixed up the entire batch of flour and realised that my small oven wouldn't contain a 10" crust, let alone anything bigger. So I halved it. I didn't need to do a thing to the recipe otherwise, apart from adding just a little more water to bind the dough properly when it was getting mixed together - and that likely because my measurement for the oil was a little off.
2) The dough was a bit wet and sticky to handle for rolling. When putting it between two sheets of parchment paper didn't work, I removed the top sheet of parchment paper and substituted it with plastic wrap instead. Once rolled out, I took the entire thing, parchment paper and all, and put it on my baking sheet as I don't have a pizza stone. I was afraid that not sprinkling the bottom with corn meal might make the whole thing stick, but as it turned out, I needn't have worried. The crust came off the parchment paper beautifully. I also will try rolling the dough out thinner and using a different flour to see if that makes any difference to overall texture; I might need to bake the crust for a bit longer to get it browner and crisper.
Taste-wise? FANTASTIC. I topped this crust with tomato puree, spinach, black pepper smoked pork strips, green apples and parmesan. The one remaining crust in the fridge is going to get eaten soon; perhaps I'll try roasted eggplant, home-made tomato sauce and bacon. Either way, I would make this again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much Shauna, for this beautiful recipe!

I didn't know you were into gluten-free cooking. I've got another friend with gluten allergies that sometimes posts recipes. I'll have to try to remember to send you a link to her site.

Apple and ham on a pizza - I never thought I'd see the day! Looks great though :)
- Shuku said...
SC: Yes, I'm gluten-intolerant. Have been for the past ten over years.
Daniel: Hee, I bet, but it actually tastes fantastic. Pork and applesauce, so I figure apple and ham would go well.
- Marcelo Vignali said...
Shuku, I didn't realize you had gluten issues. I also have gluten issues that affect my rheumatoid arthritis. For a few years I had to go completely gluten free.
It looks like you're doing well with the gluten free diet, great looking pizza!

"The Neutral doesn't refer to neutrality or indifference, it is an ardent, burning activity"
In choosing Neutral as the title of the magazine our intention is far from producing a collection of dispassionate, impartial articles.
Quite the opposite
The title is inspired by the lecture course on figures of the neutral by the French cultural critic Roland Barthes (1915-1980), which he presented during the height of his fame at the College de Franc in the late 1970s.
Barthes is highly regarded as a key theoretical thinker for media and cultural studies, known most commonly for his early book Mythologies, which presents a systematic framework for cultural semiotics. However, his late writings, including The Neutral, began to creatively undo a lot of the structures of meaning that semiotics typically exposes. As Barthes explains: 'I define the Neutral as that which outplays the paradigm, or rather I call Neutral everything that baffles the paradigm'.
"To outplay the paradigm" is an ardent, burning activity
The Neutral, he suggests, 'doesn't refer to "impressions" of grayness, or neutrality", of indifference. The Neutral … can refer to intense, strong, unprecedented states. "To outplay the paradigm" is an ardent, burning activity'. When we read sentences upon a pace our eyes are accustomed to glide over the empty spaces between words. Yet those 'neutral' spaces are precisely what allow the collection of letters to become words; those burning white spaces are what force meaning to arise.
Our magazine is committed to get in amongst not just the debates of media and culture, but in-between the spaces of debates, to locate what makes them arise and what new possibilities are on the horizon. The contents of this magazine, and all subsequent editions, are to be viewed as being far from neutral or bland, rather baffling, ardent and resourceful.

Shark Week Expert Jeff Kurr Previews 'Great White Serial Killer' (Video)
Natural history filmmaker and shark expert Jeff Kurr, who has been part of Discovery Channel's Shark Week every year since 1991, this year investigates what he calls a "murder-mystery with sharks."
In Great White Serial Killer, which debuts at 10 p.m. Wednesday, Kurr sets out to examine two fatal shark attacks on California's Surf Beach, near Vandenberg Air Force base, using evidence found at both sites to try to determine if one shark was responsible for both attacks. Interesting, both happened exactly two years apart in the same place.
PHOTOS: The Dark Side of Reality TV: 25 Tragic Deaths
Kurr also served as executive producer, director and cinematographer Great White Serial Killer. (His previous Shark Week credits include producing 2011's Great White Invasion and last year's Air Jaws Apocalypse.)
Ahead of the debut of the special, Kurr talked to The Hollywood Reporter about his ongoing investigation into shark attacks and what viewers can expect from the show.
The Hollywood Reporter: What can you tell us about Great White Serial Killer?
Jeff Kurr: It's sort of what I call a murder-mystery with sharks. It's a very compelling story that I discovered going on at a place called Surf Beach, near Vandenberg Air Force base in Central California, and what happened there at that beach. A great white shark -- more than one, possibly -- every two years, a shark goes into that beach and attacks someone basically on the same day. It's a bizarre coincidence. The fact that the shark returned every two years led me to believe we're talking about the same shark. In the course of the show, our investigation points to this being the same shark.
THR: What kind of attacks have happened?
Kurr: In 2008 was the first attack. I found that out after I started this show. On Oct. 22, 2010, a 19-year-old body boarder was killed. On Oct. 23, 2012, a 39-year-old father of two was killed by a great white shark in the same spot. What I discovered in the course of studying these attacks and using forensic evidence was that the sharks were over 16 feet long. That's one of the biggest great whites on record. That's very rare for a shark in California waters, which leads me personally to believe it's the same shark.
THR: What happened in the 2008 attack?
Kurr: It was a winemaker named Kyle, and he wasn't injured. His board was bitten, and he actually escaped. At the time, people thought it was a random attack. Most attacks are completely random, but when I started to see patterns, I thought, "Something is going on here." In 2010, people got a little more nervous, and when the shark attacked in 2012, it pretty much cleared the beach. Very few people go to Surf Beach now. It's almost like a haunted beach. It affected people emotionally; it's a tight-knit community. I compare it to a real-life Jaws scenario. … I think it's the only beach in the world with signs warning about fatal shark attacks.
STORY: Discovery Responds to Shark Week 'Megalodon' Outcry
THR: What other evidence supports the idea that it's the same shark attacking every two years?
Kurr: We talked to the mother of one of the victims, and she had been doing her own research, and discovered that Surf Beach has a toxic chemical called domoic acid, at the highest levels of any place along California. It occurs in algae blooms and kills fish, and it poisons seals and makes them drunk and lethargic and easy for a white shark to catch, so that was [luring] the white sharks in for an easy meal. Something else that supports our case is that there's a great white shark female tagged with a satellite transmitter up in Northern California. They have a two-year-long migration … which fits perfectly with the attacks in 2008, 2010 and 2012. Sharks follow patterns; they're regimented in their schedule, like homing pigeons. They align in certain places on virtually the same day. It happens worldwide.
THR: What are the odds that this is the same shark?
Kurr: There are going to be a lot of skeptics who say it can't possibly be the same shark. I don't think outside the realm of possibility. But there are around 220 white sharks on the West Coast of California; if you consider [it's a female shark], that list is cut in half; then if you look at sharks over 16 feet long -- only a few sharks ever get that big -- you put two and two together, and it's a strong possibility this might be the same shark coming back.
THR: Will you go back in October 2014 to see what happens?
Kurr: I will be out there in my kayak and with a few GoPro cameras getting visual evidence of this shark. Hopefully, everything works out and I can get a skin sample, DNA genetic material, and can do an analysis and compare the DNA from the 2010 attack and be able to say if it's the same shark coming back.
STORY: Shark Week Hits Record Highs With Fake 'Megalodon' Doc
THR: You've worked with sharks a long time. Do you have any fear of sharks at all?
Kurr: I have a lot of experience; I've been up close and personal with great white sharks. … I don't necessarily fear them. Sharks are not targeting people; these attacks really are an accident -- a case of mistaken identity. They are probably coming in there to attack seals and happen to run into surfers. White sharks never target people, but they share the same water, and unfortunately accidents happen. Sharks follow patterns; they learn very quickly what are the good places to hunt and [return there] over and over again. You see [in other parts of the world] the same sharks go back to the same exact spot on the same day, year after year; they learn where they can catch seals and find plenty to eat. They remember these things; they are not the mindless dangers people portray them as. They are very smart and well-evolved. When it comes to human [attacks on Surf Beach], both were single-bite incidents. They did not stick around to consume people; they realized they made a mistake and left immediately. In fact, there were other people in the water at the time, and the sharks didn't go back to get other victims. It was one bite and done and gone. So the sharks realized they made a mistakes; in these cases, the bites were aggressive, the people had no chance to survive them.
THR: Are sharks not able to tell the difference between humans and their prey?
Kurr: Like any fish, if a shark sees something at the surface that looks appealing, it's going to go up and have a good look. Unfortunately, they have no hands and can't touch it, so they basically have to investigate with their teeth. Something about these [attacks] triggered the shark, which obviously thought it was something to eat.
THR: Anything else you'd like to add about Great White Serial Killer?
Kurr: We went to New Zealand to put [TV personality and animal expert] Brandon McMillan in the water with a great white shark. There was an 18-footer, which was the biggest shark I had ever seen in 23 years of Shark Week. We got some amazing footage. Another thing about the show [regarding the title], the great white shark and serial killers do mimic each other in the they hunt and choose their prey. There have been scientific studies done on this. But obviously, their motivations are different. Sharks just want to feed; serial killers have psychological reasons. A shark isn't trying to hurt anybody; they're just trying to survive.
STORY: 'Shark Week' Hooks Paul Walker (Exclusive)
THR: On another note, I have to ask: Did you see Sharknado?
Kurr: I saw [clips]. I thought it was hilarious. I love campy shark stuff like that. Anything that gets the word out about sharks is good for these animals. They are heavily fished worldwide, and things like Sharknado and Shark Week take a lot of credit for turning around people's perspective on sharks. Only a generation ago, people thought that the only good shark was a dead shark. [Now], people love sharks. Everywhere you go, people go crazy over sharks. A lot of people dive [to see] sharks on vacation. And the ratings on [Discovery Channel's Sunday night special] Megalodon were fantastic. It's a good thing to have people talking about sharks and thinking about sharks. Animals that aren't talked about and forgotten about, like in the case of rhinos, can easily be wiped out.
Great White Serial Killer airs at 10 p.m. Wednesday on Discovery Channel. Watch a preview below.

so there's that.
this is exactly how i left those people:
the gold chain adds class.
lovely long pink nails to go with the gold jewelry.
and good thing the blinds were closed behind me.
no joke, i loved this dress! shoulder pads and all.
and this last one might just be my most favorite pose.
i'd like to call it "the jail break."

Mosque row exposes Obama on two sides
President Barack Obama's original comments on the New York mosque have forced other Democrats to distance themselves from him and allowed Republicans to take easy, cheap shots. No matter, for a few hours it looked to friends on the left as if he was providing bold and brave leadership.
Then he delivered some more remarks, in shirt sleeves and ready for his holiday, on airport tarmac but it could have been the middle of the road. You know - the place you get run over, especially in American politics.
He had enraged the right by saying at a White House dinner to mark the end of the day's fast during Ramadan that Muslims had the right to build a mosque close to Ground Zero in New York, two blocks from the site of the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers.
Within 24 hours he'd performed the trick that is beginning to frustrate and upset those who should be his most loyal supporters.
In that airport sound bite, he said that he was not commenting and would not comment on the wisdom of building the mosque, merely the right to do so. It may well be that this is "Professor Obama" to the fore again, making a distinction that would be obvious to anyone at Harvard Law School between what the constitution says and what is morally or culturally desirable.
But politicians live and die by crude sound bites and the even cruder caricatures that flow from them and would-be liberal supporters despair that this looks like taking fright and running away. They despair that he is holding too true to campaign promises to stand above petty party politics when the fray is at its height.
To be seen as moderate and judicious might be no bad thing for the president. The trouble is that in these febrile times, there is no chance of that: the right immediately leapt on his remarks and portrayed them as un-American. Those planning the mosque, within an Islamic cultural centre inside a tall building, say it is a monument to peace and they want a memorial to the victims of the attacks inside. No matter. Conservatives compare them to Nazis building near a concentration camp or the Japanese setting up a cultural centre at Pearl Harbour.
As one commentator has pointed out, that is just about saying that all Muslims are terrorists. It is only the fringes that accuse (yes, accuse) President Obama of secretly being a Muslim - as John McCain said during the campaign, he's not a Muslim, "he's a decent family man".
But the rest are happy to portray him as insensitively unpatriotic, caring about the feelings of Muslim, not American, victims. On the revitalised right, it is an unspoken assumption that "American" means conservative, white and Christian... You don't have to be all of these to belong, but you have to behave as though you were.
It works.
Several Democrats fighting for their seats in Congress in this election year, including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, normally among the most liberal of liberals, have disowned the president's remarks and spoken out against the mosque.
The perception of Obama as standing slightly outside the mainstream, so helpful during the campaign, is now a weapon in the hands of his enemies in this election year.
To his enemies he's "the other", to the American left, neither one thing nor the other. The row over the mosque will probably fade but the politician who so carefully defined himself page by page in two books, who wrote his own script so carefully, no longer seems to control the plot.

Solar Lighting
One of the most common ways to light your home at night in Asia is solar lighting. Amazingly China are leading the way in the battle against use of outdated lighting methods. They are mass producing solar lighting which are lasting for over ten years as well as costing the home absolutely nothing to run, now don't call me a conspiracy theorist but why on Earth is a part of the planet this is so over populated coming up with brilliant ways to not necessarily save money but actually produce power that a centralised government simply is not capable of doing.
Now take a look at a developed country such as The UK or anywhere is Europe for that matter solar lighting is extremely expensive and very scarce. I'll give you an example. This nice little light that produces ample visibility for your garden path is 1$ for one in China, now in the UK this very same item is £15 in most retail shops.
Look I'm getting out of control here with my rants this was supposed to be about solar lighting and I am going off on a tangent. Here's the bottom line. Solar lighting in China costs peanuts, please if you have a night light use it. They work in a simple but brilliant way. They have a small storage capacity which will allow the solar panel to absorb energy enough that the light can stay on all night whilst the next morning the power will be close to low and the charging process will begin all over again. By making sure the power charges up and down slowly everyday the battery will continue to hold power for ten years no problem at all. For the small cost of plastic the saving to the environment is massive. Just imagine if we all swapped over to this form of lighting. The savings in electric produced would be phenomenal as we ll as the jobs that are created by manufacture! Seriously guys solar power is affordable and we've got to start taking advantage of it.
If you think we will buy a normal light there really is no damage to the environment at all as it's simply a case of swapping over the method in which we light our homes. Solar lighting is one way we are going to keep our homes relevant and up to date. Now you might be wondering if this truly is the future because Elon Musk has released unbelievable roofing technology for solar power however, for the average home it just is not viable yet and he is being hit by governments not willing to reduce tax on increase property value, as well as the cost of the install itself.

Not only did he nail the test, but he took it in the fall semester of his junior year!
Way to go Sam! That is just awesome!
A great kid, great parents, a great christian, and super smart! What a combination!
Rock on Sam!
P.S. I'm not positive, but I think he's been known to wear ear phones and ride skateboards on occasion. (gasp!)

Have the Cake challenge was to make either Black & White Cookies or Linzer cookies... well, of course I had to make the Black & White! From what I understand, these cookies are quite popular in the North Eastern states, particularly New York. They are more cake like in texture rather than the crispy or chewy texture one would expect from a cookie. I did a combination of two recipes, the dough from Smitten Kitten and the glaze from Joy of Baking
Black and White Cookies
Smitten Kitten's recipe which she adapted from a bunch of places, but mostly Zabar's
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), at room temperature
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon lemon extract
2 1/2 cups cake flour
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 - 1/2 cup hot water
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 ounce (30 grams) bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
In large mixing bowl, combine sugar and butter; mix until fluffy. Generally this takes 3-5 minutes, it will depend on room temperature, temperature of the butter. You can tell when they are "light and fluffy" by the appearance; it should be very light in color. Next, add the eggs, milk and vanilla and lemon extracts; mix until smooth.
In medium bowl, combine cake flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt; gently whisk together. Add dry mixture to the wet in batches, stirring well after each addition.
Place the confectioners sugar in a large bowl. Gradually Stir in the hot water (it is best to pour in a bit at a time so that you can keep track of its consistency easier), add corn syrup and vanilla extract, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick, smooth, and of spreading consistency. Add more sugar or water if necessary to get the right consistency.

Breaking New Ground
Bellingham's Peabody Street Townhomes are located in a pedestrian-friendly, commercial neighborhood and the first significant development to ever be built under Bellingham's "Infill Housing Toolkit" code. The seven, fee-simple homes were developed by The RJ Group and Janicki Residential in 2015 and include two- to four-bedroom designs, ranging in size from approximately 1,300 square feet to more than 2,100 square feet.
Boasting a Craftsman-style aesthetic, the townhomes "live" like single-family homes and feature an open layout on the main floors. Two of the floor plans include a 400-square-foot carriage-house space above the garage—perfect for a guest suite or "mother-in-law" apartment. Another design includes an expansive deck for outdoor barbecues and gatherings, as well a flex room that can be used as an in-home office. All of the homes are prewired for solar panels and electric car chargers.
For more about this groundbreaking project, See the Bellingham Business Journal's article, "Infill toolkit projects provide one vision for future growth" by Oliver Lazenby.

Administrative Separations and Boards of Inquiry
Although called "administrative" in nature, separations boards, including Boards of Inquiry for Officers, are in reality quite punitive, and carry penalties which can have a profound effect on the rest of servicemembers' lives. At these hearings, servicemembers face the possibility of being kicked out of the military with an Other than Honorable discharge and a negative re-enlistment code. Not only will this discharge follow you for the rest of your life, but again you can lose nearly all benefits that you worked so hard to gain. Both Administrative Separations hearings and Boards of Inquiry give the servicemember the chance to fight to remain in the military, receive the honorable discharge you deserve, and in the case of retirement eligible servicemembers, to argue that a reduction in grade for purposes of retirement is not appropriate.
These issues are not only complex, but the stakes are also extremely high, which is why coloring them with the "administrative" title is deceiving. Krystal Capasso Law is here to fight for you through this process. As former former active duty military attorneys, we know the ins and outs of this system and will help to ensure that your rights, benefits, and retirement are protected.

I didn't do nearly as much fun crafty stuff as I would have expected to, but what I did do was fun and, if I do say so myself, pretty awesome!
The year started with some lofty goals for the first quarter, but only one those ever got finished:
Berry Bravo Quilt:
Big Bear Little Bear Baby Quilt:
Holly Hobby Stocking:
Other than those, can I call doing my very first garden "crafty"? It sure took up a lot of my time...
And I did a really quick little project that has made the process of quilting way easier:
|My Design Curtain!
What's hanging on the design curtain will be one of my 2017 Finishes. No details now, as it is to be gifted once complete! I have lots of ideas/plans for being quilty/crafty in 2017, and they will all reveal themselves in due course...
