After reading and discussing the story of Creation, have students color each day's creation on the center of a paper plate with markers or crayon. Younger students can tell you what they wish to draw, have you draw in pencil, then they can trace and color. Or, you may search for a line drawing/coloring sheet online.
When finished, students can cut the outer border of the plate, so that it lies flat, or decorate the border.
On the classroom wall, horizontally line up and tape a single strip of bulletin border.
Have students place their plates in order of Creation. Then tape them to the wall above the border.
Label each day with marker and tape or paste the label to the border.
You may wish to keep this going as a unit or timely class project by adding Old and New Testament story plates which summarize the story. Students can label the story on the border. This makes a great year-long review.

Citation: St. Jean, G., Egan, S.P., Yee, W.L., Feder, J.L. 2013. Genetic identification of an unknown Rhagoletis fruit fly infesting Chinese crabapple (Malus spectabilis): implications for apple pest management. Journal of Economic Entomology. 3:1511-1515.
Interpretive Summary: The apple maggot fly is an important quarantine pest of apples in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S. Different fruit flies can infest fruit also used by apple maggot, making the larvae difficult to identify and hindering control efforts. Personnel at the Yakima Agricultural Research Laboratory in Wapato, WA and the University of Notre Dame in Notre Dame, IN determined if molecular methods could be used to identify larvae reared from crabapple, a host of apple maggot. Based on five microsatellite loci, the identity of the crabapple-infesting larvae was determined to be western cherry fruit fly and not apple maggot. This result is important because it suggests rapid, accurate, and inexpensive DNA-based detection tools could be used to identify unknown fruit fly larvae from fruit.
Technical Abstract: The apple maggot fly, Rhagoletis pomonella (Walsh) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a serious introduced quarantine pest in the apple-growing regions of central Washington and Oregon. In August 2011, seven fly larvae of unknown origin were discovered infesting fruit of an exotic Chinese crabapple, Malus spectabilis (Aiton) Borkhausen, in Kennewick, Benton County, Washington. If confirmed, Chinese crabapple would have represented a new host for R. pomonella in Washington and would have triggered quarantine measures in a surrounding three-county region of the state. Here, we establish based on five microsatellite loci the identity of the crabapple-infesting larvae as the western cherry fruit fly, R. indifferens Curran, and not R. pomonella. Morphological analysis of six flies reared to adulthood confirmed the genetic identification. The results avoided enacting costly quarantine measures and demonstrated the utility of integrating rapid genetic identification methods with field surveys of economic pests. We discuss current ongoing efforts to develop rapid, accurate, and inexpensive on site DNA-based detection tools for R. pomonella that would have general applicability for biocontrol of pest insects.

A student pointed out on the course discussion board that I'd not used colours consistently in drawing chromosomes. I apologized for the confusion and tried to clarify it in a response.
But then I raised the issue directly in class yesterday, pointing out that on Monday I'd coloured the two chromatids in a pair differently (dark ad light blue), but on Wednesday I'd coloured them the same shade of blue but coloured their homologs pink. And the transparent strips I used to demonstrate meiosis had the three different chromosomes from one parent green, whereas those from the other parent were blue.
And I then told them that I was about to use yet a different colour coding in yesterday's class, with the homologs the same colour (maternal distinguished from paternal by a wavy line drawn on them) and the different chromosomes (those with completely different genes) different colours.
The class had been given strips of coloured paper to use as their won chromosomes in solving our first genetics problems, and I told them to pay attention to the colours they used, with the goal of having the colours a guide to the relationships between the chromosomes they were representing rather than a source of confusion.
The most important thing isn't that they get the colours right, but that they learn to think about what colours will be least confusing, and more generally about how to represent the factors that matter in any given problem. It's this thinking that leads to the most learning.

FOI14621 – Request for information
Thank you for your email of 30 December 2015, requesting the following information in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA):
From the 18 November 2015 until the date you send back the required information i.e. the 26 January 2016, please can you detail all 3rd party/external discussions and/or any correspondence you have had concerning 77m Limited? This should include the Shareholders Executive and any other government department or agency.
This information is to include all emails, telephone calls, and any other form of correspondence.
The specific information to be provided should include:
- The OS personnel involved.
- The names or names of the 3rd parties including the external organisation represented.
- Date(s).
- What was discussed by both parties.
Our response
First, we note that you have requested information up until the date that OS sends back the information, "i.e. 26 January 2016". The FOIA allows a public authority 20 working days to respond to FOI requests, reflecting the fact that it takes time to identify the information requested, and then to review it, seek relevant third party views, make a decision on the application of any relevant exemptions, make any required redactions, and include in an FOI response.
As such, we do not consider that your request can validly request information created after the date of your request. Nonetheless, in this case, to be helpful, we can confirm that we have reviewed relevant information created up to the date of 20 January 2016.
Secondly, we are not including in this response any information which has been referred to in our response to 77m Ltd in relation to FOI14619.
We can confirm that we hold this information. Whilst we are able to release the information described below (which is available on request), note that some of the information has been redacted as it falls under the "Personal information" exemption in section 40(2) of the FOIA; see below for details. Further, some of the information requested is not being released at all as, again, it is exempted by the FOIA; this is also detailed below.
Information released
- Email from OS to Land Registry of 25.11.15 at 18:3.
- Email chain ending with email of 4.12.15 at 12:08 from OS to the Health & Safety Laboratory.
- Three emails from Central Drafting Unit to OS of 22.12.15 at 09:29, 11:33 and 11:42 – note that the attachments to these emails are not released, as you will already have seen all of these (being correspondence between OS and Gordon Dadds, and FOI information already released).
- Email chain between OS and Gordon Dadds ending with email from OS of 23.12.15 at 17:41.
Note that in all of the emails released pursuant to this FOI request, we have redacted the names of specific individuals and their contact details, where we consider this information to be exempt under section 40(2) 'Personal Information'. This includes some third party personal information.
Section 40(2)(a) and (b), together with the condition under section 40(3)(a)(i) and (b) of the FOIA, provides an absolute exemption, where the disclosure of information would contravene any of the data protection principles under the Data Protection Act (DPA) 1998. In this case, we have exempted information constituting the personal data of living individuals, the release of which would be in breach of the Data Protection Principles.
In applying this exemption, we have considered whether disclosure of the personal data in question would be 'fair' (as described in Schedule 1 of the Data Protection Act). We have given particular consideration to the likely expectations of the data subjects regarding the disclosure of their personal information, whether they are already publicly referenced through their position and if they would expect to be publicly referenced in this manner, in reaching our decision to withhold this information.
Information not released
- Two email chains between OS and the Shareholder Executive – this information is exempt from disclosure under section 36(2)(b) and (c) of the FOIA, i.e. that disclosure of the information would be likely to inhibit the free and frank provision of advice, or the free and frank exchange of views for the purposes of deliberation, or would be likely to prejudice the effective conduct of public affairs.
- Email chain between OS and The National Archives – this information is exempt from disclosure under section 36(2)(b) and (c) of the FOIA, for the same reasons as set out above.
Public interest test
Section 36(2) is a qualified exemption and we are required to consider the public interest.
In relation to section 36, the public interest in transparency needs to be balanced against the public interest in the effective conduct of public affairs.
Having considered the above, we are satisfied that the public interest is best served by withholding the information under this exemption.

Off to enjoy a day shopping (with what money I have left) with my best friend. Making the most of the summery weather slapping out a old summery dress I have had for a while now! I forgot how pretty it is and I'm just in a 'I want to feel all pretty' mood. It has this gorgeous vintage feel to it. Anyway I may pair it with some boots to add some edge, and I don't know why I decided to pose shoeless. Badd bloggger. And if it got a bit chilly my leather biker jacket would aslo be perfect.
Back to some normal outfit posts today with my beautiful blank wall scenery other than what the previous posts I have been. I'm going to be uploading a range of more 'posed' looks as well as my typical bedroom posts. You know, keeping it all fresh and exciting for you guys.....

Blavatsky Study Center
My Encounters with the Master
by S. Ramaswamier (1)
I had been a member of the Theosophical Society about two months, when I went to the T.S. headquarters at Bombay in December 1881. After being there 2 or 3 days, Madame Blavatsky came to me one morning and said I was thinking of something special, and that she had Masters orders to tell me to put it in writing and give it to her. I wrote a letter during the day.
Madame asked me to accompany her for a drive somewhere between 6 and 7 p.m. As we went downstairs to get into the carriage, I gave her the letter. She put it into her pocket, and we immediately got into the carriage.
We got out at the telegraph-office, in order that a telegram might be sent to congratulate some friends who were being married. Madame then said she felt the presence of the Masters at headquarters, and wanted to go back directly.
We usually walked up the road towards the house, but on this occasion Madame would not allow us to leave the carriage. As the carriage neared the portico, I saw the figure of a man leaning on the railing of the balcony with a letter between finger and thumb. We all remained motionless for a short time, the figure on the balcony also.
The letter was then thrown down by the figure. It fell near the carriage, on the ground. Colonel Olcott got out and took it up, and we all then ran up to the balcony. But no one was there.
The night was bright moonlight. The figure was tall about 6 ft., well-built, and the face very handsome. The eyes were very calm and motionless, giving an aspect of serenity. The hair was dark and long, the beard was short. He had a fehta [turban] on his head, and did not speak. I had never seen the figure before. Afterwards I recognised the resemblance between this figure and the portrait in possession of the Colonel, which I had not previously seen.
The letter was addressed to me, and contained words to the effect that every man must have his own deserts, and that if I deserved well of the Mahatmas they would assist me; also that my desire to become a pupil had not been long in existence, and that I should wait to see whether it was a mere passing thought or not. (In my letter I had expressed a desire, among other things, to become a pupil.) This was the whole substance of the letter, in my own words. Time - between 7 and 8 p.m.
Then next year my health having been disturbed by official work and worry, I applied for leave on medical certificate and it was duly granted.
Then one day in September 1882, while I was reading in my room [in the town of Tinnevelly, southern India], I was ordered by the audible voice of my blessed Guru Morya to leave all and proceed immediately to Bombay, whence I had to go in search of Madame Blavatsky wherever I could find her and follow her wherever she went. Without losing a moment, I closed up all my affairs and left.
Arrived at Bombay, I found Madame Blavatsky gone. Really not knowing whither I had best go, I took a through ticket to Calcutta; but, on reaching Allahabad, I heard the same well-known voice directing me to go to Berhampore.
On the 23rd of September, I was brought by Nobin Babu from Calcutta to Chandernagore, where I found Madame Blavatsky, ready to start with the train to go to Darjeeling. When the train arrived, she got into the carriage. I myself had barely time to jump into the last carriage.
The first days of her arrival in Darjeeling Madame Blavatsky was living at the house of a Bengalee gentleman, a Theosophist; she was refusing to see any one. To all our importunities we could get only this answer from her: that we had no business, to stick to and follow her, that she did not want us, and that she had no right to disturb the Mahatmas with all sorts of questions.
In despair, I determined, come what might, to cross the frontier, which is about a dozen miles from here, and find the Mahatmas, orDIE. Without breathing a word of my intentions to anyone, one morning, namely, October 5, I set out in search of the Mahatma. The same afternoon I reached the banks of the Rungit River, which forms the boundary between the British and Sikkim territories.
That whole afternoon I traveled on foot, penetrating further and further into the heart of the Sikkim Territory, along a narrow foot-path. I travelled before dusk not less than twenty or twenty-five miles. Throughout, I saw nothing but impenetrable jungles and forests on all sides of me, relieved at very long intervals by solitary huts belonging to the mountain population.
At dusk I began to search around me for a place to rest at night. After a sound sleep, undisturbed by any dream, I woke and found it was just dawning. I lost no time. When it became quite light, I wended my way on through hills and dales.
It was, I think, between eight and nine am, and I was following the road to the town of Sikkim, whence, I was assured by the people I met on the road, I could cross over to Tibet easily in my pilgrim's garb when I suddenly saw a solitary horseman galloping towards me from the opposite direction. From his tall stature and the expert way he managed the animal, I thought he was some military officer of the Sikkim Raja. Now, I thought, am I caught. But as he approached me, he reined the steed.
I looked at and recognized him instantly. I was in the presence of my own revered Guru. The very same instant saw me prostrated on the ground at his feet. I arose at his command and, leisurely looking into his face, I forgot myself entirely. I knew not what to say: joy and reverence tied my tongue. I was at last face to face with "the Mahatma of the Himavat" and he was no myth. It was no night dream; it is between nine and ten o'clock of the forenoon. There is the sun shining and silently witnessing the scene from above.
He speaks to me in accents of kindness and gentleness. Nor was it until a few moments later that I was drawn to utter a few words, encouraged by his gentle tone and speech.
Never have I seen a countenance so handsome, a stature so tall and so majestic. He wears a short black beard, and long black hair hanging down to his breast. He wore a yellow mantle lined with fur, and, on his head a yellow Tibetan felt cap.
When the first moments of rapture and surprise were over and I calmly comprehended the situation, I had a long talk with him. He told me to go no further, for I would come to grief. He said I should wait patiently if I wanted to become an accepted Chela.
The Mahatma, I found, speaks very little English or at least it so seemed to me and spoke to me in my mother-tongue Tamil. I asked the blessed Mahatma whether I could tell what I saw and heard to others. He replied in the affirmative. He was pleased to say when I offered my farewell namaskarams (prostration) that he approached the British Territory to see Madame Blavatsky.
Before he left me, two more men came on horseback, his attendants I suppose, probably Chelas, for they were dressed like himself, with long hair streaming down their backs. They followed the Mahatma, as he left, at a gentle trot.
For over an hour I stood gazing at the place that he had just quitted, and then, I slowly retraced my steps. I had eaten nothing since the day before, and I was too weak to walk further. My whole body was aching in every limb.
At a little distance I saw petty traders with country ponies, taking burden. I hired one of these animals. In the afternoon I came to the Rungit River and crossed it. A bath in its cool waters renovated me. I purchased some fruit in the only bazaar there and ate them heartily. I took another horse immediately and reached Darjeeling late in the evening.
I could neither eat, nor sit, nor stand. Every part of my body was aching. My absence had seemingly alarmed Madame Blavatsky. She scolded me for my rash and mad attempt to try to go to Tibet, after this fashion. I recounted all that had happened to me....
Now in 1884 it is too late in the day for the Christian Padres to deny the existence of the Mahatmas. There are several Englishmen of the Civil Service, who have had correspondence with them when Mme. Blavatsky was far away and knew nothing of the matter, not to speak of scores of other gentlemen, European and native.
I too can claim the honor of having had an interview with one of them in his physical body outside the precincts of a lamasery near Sikkim on the road leading to it from Darjeeling.
I have seen him and several of his pupils in the astral body on many occasions. Many of our friends who happened to be with us at the time have seen them like ourselves. Mme. Blavatsky is now in Europe, Colonel Olcott too is there. Our communications with the Mahatmas still continues uninterrupted. If Madame Blavatsky can do this, why then, verily she is a Mahatma.
At this day, only those, who have had neither the time nor the inclination to search into psychical laws, join with the Christian theologists and raise a feeble cry against the existence of such psychical, occult powers. The only question is whether such powers are brought into play in particular occurrences.
The best witnesses to prove such things are those who have seen them and not the Padres who deliberately keep away, attributing them all to the machinations of their friend, the Devil. The Padres now say that all phenomena have been produced by trickery by Madame Blavatsky with the aid of the Coulombs.
I shall mention two instances, out of several, that have come under my personal experience. An American gentleman of a well known firm, who is not in any way connected with the Society, wrote a letter to me asking certain questions in Aryan philosophy. On opening it as soon as the postman gave it to me at my place in Tinnevelly we found that the answers to the more intricate questions were already entered opposite each of them, under the well-known initials of my revered Guru. The letter is still with me and Madame Blavatsky to this day knows nothing of it.
One day in my place at Tinnevelly, a learned Pandit of the Shaktaya sect was speaking to us in flowing terms of the advantages of the Shaktaya ceremonials over all others in the development of psychical powers. I noted down in his presence the salient points of his argument on paper, put it into an envelope, addressed it to my Guru, and placed it in my box. This happened in the evening.
The next morning I saw on my table, along with other papers, the same cover unopened but with my address written over the previous superscription. I opened it and found written between the lines of the original letter a crushing answer to all the false logic of the Pandit, with quotations in Sanskrit from the Upanishads neatly written in the Devanagari characters. Madame Blavatsky was in Madras then and to this day she is ignorant of this letter or its reply.
Scores of letters of this kind received by us from our Venerated Master, when we were far away from Madame Blavatsky or Colonel Olcott, are in our possession. Many of our friends have seen several of them. Some of them contain Tamil quotations written in neat characters.
If the Padres say we and several others, who had the same experience, are labouring under some hallucination, we may as well retort that the definition of that word will have to be considerably altered. They cannot under any circumstances, hallucinate away the letters in our possession.
The Padres mislead the public when they assert that the Theosophical Society is founded on phenomena. No phenomenon is shown for its own sake. The Masters belong to a higher plane of existence and they use the easiest method in their plane for communication with their pupils and others.

Cary News: Obituaries
Arthur Lee Humphrey
Arthur Lee Humphrey, 91, loving husband and father, of New Bern, NC, previously of Baltimore, MD; Cary and Warsaw, NC. passed away peacefully on November 13th. He leaves behind his wife of 63 years, Dorothy Hamilton Humphrey, and four children, David Humphrey, Richardson TX; Allee Humphrey, New Bern; Nancy Humphrey McAndrew, Elgin TX; and Bill Humphrey, Boulder CO.
Art was raised in Warsaw and started his engineering and technology career early when discovering the delights of photography, radio, electrical, and mechanical devices. His engineering studies at NC State University were interrupted by two years of US Navy service due to WWII where he worked with communications and radar.
Art began his professional career in Raleigh and as chief engineer was instrumental in putting its first TV station on the air as well as converting it to Color. After a stint with Martin Aircraft in Baltimore, Art settled in Cary and enjoyed many years starting and running new companies designing and building electronic testing equipment; electronic displays and signs. Art's companies and his thinking were always at the forefront of technology and innovation.
Art passed his love of learning and entrepreneurial spirit to his children who all elected professional careers in engineering or accounting.
Art's special way of connecting with everyone he spoke to, from casual acquaintances to long time friends and family, always magically produced an instant smile from them. A skill admired and envied by all who knew him, most especially his family. He will be greatly missed.
Memorial Service will be held 11:00 Nov. 20th, Broad Street Christian Church, New Bern.

I headed towards the Yuck 'n Yum launch at Generator Projects on Sunday thinking that I would sample just a little of the soup they had promised and quickly pick up the latest copy of the zine. However, Alexander Aitken invited us to join in with her I Lava Dundee performance by stepping onto an island and then starting to construct colourful new lands.
So I did. Alexander stated that initially the first three rules below were the most important:
- The ground is lava – DON'T TOUCH THE GROUND.
- To move forward cut your island on half, float it where you want to go.
- If you are standing – Mark make onto your island.
I started by standing still and subsequently having to doodle. Initially, my head was blank so I started drawing squares of different shapes and sizes – a little inspired by the paper islands surrounding me that were starting to change shape and size.
Then I decided to cut my island up and float it as advised – before stepping out onto new land. Continue reading "Yuck 'n Yum – 2013 Autumn Issue Launch"

After looking at and trying other IM server based on Jabber/XMPP we decided to use the iChat server built into Mac OS X Leopard server. It was one of the few that supported native video and audio chats. The video and audio are just initiated by the server but are not routed through it. This minimizes server bandwidth usage. It also supported chat rooms that could be created by any authenticated user. It is easily managed through Open Directory and has SSL connection capabilities. It can also be set up to use Active Directory or LDAP.
You can connect to it with the iChat app in Mac OS X or with any IM client that supports Jabber/XMPP like Pidgin. I have personally used it with about 5 different clients including a web based one on my iPhone. To protect the confidential nature of chats iChat server supports encryption of multiuser chats and file transfers through Transport Layer Security (TLS). You can use either commercially issued certificate or a self signed one.
One of the few things that doesn't seem to work very well is groups and auto population of the buddy lists of users. You can have the users in Open Directory in groups but this is not used by the iChat server. It would nice if that worked. The other problem is the auto population of users buddy lists in an all or nothing command. You have to run jabber_autobuddy –m after any new user has logged in and that will add that user to everybody's list and everybody to his buddy list. But if there are users on that server that don't need to see everybody then it is useless. You have to have the new user add everybody they need one person at a time.
Hopefully Apple will continue to develop this product and add features and new functions in the later releases. It has been a very reliable IM server for us. The iChat theater (up to 4 way video chat) has been fun to play with too.

While LulzSec continues its Operation Anti-Security campaign against the world, rival group Team Poison has issued a statement promising to unmask LulzSec's members.
The group reported its intention to reveal all LulzSec's members true identities earlier this month. Speaking to Fox News a member working under the pseudonym Hex0010 commented "We're here to show the world that they're [LulzSec] nothing but a bunch of script kiddies.
"We're going to let them do what they do. Then we're going to do what we do", adding, "We're going to hit them hard."
The claim comes just as LulzSec announced its new Operation Ant-Security campaign. The operation has seen LulzSec team-up with its 4Chan-born sibling Anonymous to help rebel and protest any and all cases of internet censorship and moderation through a series of coordinated cyber attacks and hacks.
Operation Anti-Security has already seen LulzSec claim responsibility for hacks and attacks on Arizona law enforcement, the U.K.'s Serious Organised Crimes Agency and two Brazilian Government owned websites.
In the midst of LulzSec's first attack authorities arrested Ryan Cleary for suspected involvement in several of LulzSec's operations. Since the arrest, while LulzSec has adamantly denied Cleary's membership, the 19-year-old has been charged and appeared in Court. British police were granted an additional three days to question Cleary after the hearing.
In his statement Hex refuted LulzSec's claims that Cleary was not a member. Hex commented to Fox News, "You can say he's one of the people that ran it, you can say he's a middleman. Depends on how you look at it. I think he's a middleman."
Team Poison has also claimed responsibility for an attack on suspected LulzSec member Sven Slootweg's website.
Team Poison isn't the first group to have made such claims. Already "cyber vigilante" outfit Team Ninja made a similar claim posting alleged names, addresses, phone numbers and at points pictures of individuals it claimed were LulzSec members.
The individuals named included a 34-year-old Brazilian named Sabu, Slootweg, a freelance journalist named Barret Brown and a U.S. Marine name Casey Gardiner -- the truth of these claims is yet to be verified.
The fact that Team Poison is targeting LulzSec has not been universally hailed as good news. The hacking group has an extremely checkered past. It is believed to have connections both with the Mujahdeen Hacking Unit and Pakistan Cyber Army.
The Mujahdeen Hacking Unit was the hacking group that targeted Facebook late last year.
Additionally both groups are generally believed to hold strong anti-America, anti-Israel and anti-India ideologies.
Team Poison has also been constantly speculated as having overtly zealous religious leanings -- a fact that may make several governments uncomfortable with the group's involvement.
In the same interview with Fox Hex commented on the topic, ""We're a group that consists of political hackers," elaborating "A lot of people consider us being a religious type thing -- in reality it's not. When international governments are doing wrong and trying to hide from it, we're there."
Many analyst's have already speculated that Team Poison's targeting of LulzSec could be born of "professional jealousy".
If true, then Team Poisons new involvement could be more harmful than helpful. The attack on LulzSec could lead to revenge attacks from both LulzSec and its comrade in arms Anonymous.
Additionally, as demonstrated by the laundry list of hacks and cyber attacks Team Poison is suspected of, the hatred for LulzSec could turn into a game of one-upmanship, with each group trying to hack a bigger target than the other.
Team Poison is yet to release the information it promised on Fox News.

Good morning Regina,
I'm sorry for the delay in contacting you, these days have been very busy for me.
I come here to thank and say that everything went well with my cargo. It has arrived in perfect condition, and it was all right to release as well. I'm very happy with the service and support I received from MELLOHAWK Logistics.
Have a great day and a good weekend!
Aline Witkowski
Client of Personal Effects shipping from Toronto to São Paulo
Good morning Regina,
We are very happy after finally seeing our belongings again. Thanks God that Air Canada landed safely. There were just few scratches on the stainless steel clothesline and in the sled, but considering the volume of our shipment, that was nothing. We couldn't open the boxes yet, because when we got to the Customs in Brazil, we were informed that in order to clear our cargo, we needed to do move everything in the same day. We were luck because we found a moving company in "Guarulhos" who were able to transport everything at once today (June 27, 2016).
My husband and I thank you so much for all the care and attention you and the MELLOHAWK Logistics team had with our cargo. Everytime that I have any friend who need to ship anything to Brazil, I will make sure to give MELLOHAWK Logistics' contact number.
Mr. Arnon, your company really has a very liable and careful team. I remember when the guy who did the packing for us in your warehouse was doing the work singing at the same time. My husband and I were very impressed, because we could see how much joy and passionate about his job he was.
Thank you so much
Best Regards,
Shirley Meyer e Gary Meyer

I have known Peter and Arnon for years on a personal basis before they established MELLOHAWK Logistics. As individuals, they have always been considerate and respectful of others and are renowned for their contributions to various organizations and the community in general.
MELLOHAWK Logistics, as a company, represents the same virtues its founders express in their personal lives. It is a business that makes a conscious effort to improve the lives of its employees, provides unparalleled service to its customers and plays an integral part in the betterment of the local community.
The programs that MELLOHAWK Logistics promotes and supports are too numerous to list, but it is fair to say that the direction of this company, operated by Peter and Arnon, mirrors their lives outside of business. It takes a responsible and proactive approach to its customers; it provides a supportive family atmosphere for its employees and it gives back to the community on a daily basis.
Business is better because of MELLOHAWK Logistics. Many companies could learn from their business model.
Douglas Docherty
Comstar International
MELLOHAWK Logistics begins and ends with people. This is exemplified by the relationships they are able to maintain in all links of the supply chain and by providing a forward-thinking, exciting and ethical corporate-culture for its employees. As timelines and expectations continue to get increasingly more demanding in today's hectic business climate, MELLOHAWK differentiates themselves from their competition by their exceptional reliability and ease-of-doing business, fully endorsed by their loyal, satisfied and repeatable clientele. MELLOHAWK Logistics, led by a strong management team of Peter Hawkins and Arnon Melo, continue to make a positive impact in every business and people's lives they touch.
Corey Anquetil
I am sure there are many businesses and people out there worthy of receiving recognition for their contribution to their wider community. I am, however, still to meet a company, like MELLOHAWK Logistics, that just seems to be flawless when it comes to delivering outstanding customer service, supporting cultural projects and their community, and promoting businesses opportunities and development. The MELLOHAWK team, led by Arnon and Peter, have supported ventures even outside of Canada. We met while working for the Brazil Film Fest in Toronto (which they sponsored) and then when we took off back to New Zealand they were the first to bet on the project. Now we are in our third edition and happen to be the largest annual Brazilian event in New Zealand. Their sponsorship, more than money was to help me believe it could happen! Cheers mate! Keep shining!
Leandro Cavalcanti – New Zealand
I remember when Peter & Arnon started MELLOHAWK and they were in a tiny office. Even then, they were building community – wherever they went, and with whomever they worked with. They have such a unique way of building relationships and bringing people together, while bringing out the best in them. As a client, I always knew that I could count on them to be there to help us through whatever wild request we had. They exemplify tailored customer service and have maintained that personal touch as their business has grown. As a friend, they have always been there for me when I needed them, just as they are for their employees, clients and community.
Jen Anquetil
MELLOHAWK assisted us with some personal freight transports during a difficult time when our friend was terminally ill – Peter arranged everything seamlessly, and was infinitely patient and supportive – we couldn't have done it without him. It is one example of many of Peter and Arnon's kind spirit and humanity.
Patricia Swerhone
Note perfect blend of compassion, professionalism, knowledge and creativity. I can't think of using another logistics company for anything of importance and it's rather difficult to think of human beings in my circle who do so much to better the world we share. They're near the top of a short, treasured list.
Roben Goodfellow
Peter and Arnon have a true appreciation for what it takes to create a positive work environment. Their employees are loyal to the core because they are treated with the utmost respect and are given opportunities to excel. On a personal level, you couldn't ask for two more generous and committed individuals who would give you the shirt off their backs while smothering you with love and kindness.
Roy Runions
I am one of the immigrants they talk about. I worked part time for MELLOHAWK for many years. MELLOHAWK paid for courses for me and on April 1st this year I started full time. They believed in me. My dream came true.
Nadia Silva
I am a former employee with MELLOHAWK (for three years) and I left to pursue my dream of living in New York. They always treated us with respect and good will and believed in all we can do. They are generous with their employees (they even paid for a course I was taking even after I left) and their donations. They give big (both professionally and personally) to the humane society, PWA, ACT, Breast Cancer Awareness and many other charities. They support a men's shelter in Brazil, and have sponsored many plays, concerts, festivals and events. They run a business not a charity but they believe in giving back.
They treat their customers the best… I met Arnon and Peter 10 years ago and know they run a professional business and always have time for their clients! They know that running a business is all about relationships you build one at a time.
MELLOHAWK is a small company that gives back to the community like a huge company. It's a better world because they're in it.
Robert Chazz Chute
Arnon and Peter are outstanding people whose generosity of time, money and spirit seems limitless. In 2007, I arranged the collection and shipment of books to a rural school in Rwanda where I was a teacher. MELLOHAWK not only navigated the mysterious world of logistics for us, from the collection of the books to their arrival in Rwanda, they also covered the costs of the shipment. The students and teachers were beside themselves with delight when they opened the boxes and I am eternally grateful for Arnon and Peter's gift! Thank you!
Cathie Twizere
I have known Arnon for over 10 years. I have seen MELLOHAWK start and grow into a wonderful organization which not only provides outstanding service to their customers, but provides great leadership to their employees. Arnon and Peter's service does not stop at their business door, but continues into their community both here and abroad by participating in various charities. I wish them a mountain of success because I know they deserve it and that they will share with others.
Vania Gava
Great company and great people to deal with.
MELLOHAWK has been a great company to see grow over the years! It is always exciting to see a group of people develop and drive a conscientious approach to customer satisfaction. Peter and Arnon have created an amazing team approach, unique to their industry. The notion of MELLOHAWK gaining notoriety is overdue…just ask the customers!
Peter Henry
We've had a logistics relationship with MELLOHAWK since our company began over 7 years ago and they have always been a very supportive partner as our business has grown. I've seen them mentor new immigrants, giving them an opportunity for training, fulfilling work and personal support, and ultimately developing them into outstanding employees – many of whom I've had the pleasure to work with over the years. They have only my best wishes. They are a great company with a great future!
Georgia Green
Our company has worked with MELLOHAWK for over 5 years now and I love the personalized service that we get from them. This is all too rare these days. They have helped us resolve countless critical logistical issues that could have negatively impacted our business. I would recommend MELLOHAWK to anyone who is looking for terrific, knowledgeable service.
Monica Spence
I have had the pleasure of dealing with MELLOHAWK for almost five years in a professional capacity. I would not trust any other company with my freight forwarding and can say that they have consistently exceeded my expectations!
Their commitment to their community is also very admirable!
I wish them the best in this challenge and can honestly state that they are the clear choice to win!
Tami Waters
MELLOHAWK is an amazing company that hires mature skilled immigrants. Everyone that I have met at the company is extraordinary — especially the company owner and founders Peter Hawkins and Arnon Melo. This is a little company with an enormous heart!
Allan Stratton
There is a reason why MELLOHAWK has gained success over the years! It's the great teamwork! Peter and Arnon are very giving people and take the time to get involved with community events and sponsorships. CHEERS to Team MELLOHAWK! Wendy C Parlee
Wendy Parlee
I worked with them back in 2005 to export and re-import costumes from Brazil for the Brazilian Carnival Ball event in Toronto. The quality of their assistance was absolutely outstanding, both in Brazil and in Canada. I highly recommend their services to anyone
Carlos Eduardo Reginato
RSC Group
MELLOHAWK facilitated my move to Brazil in 2008 and their personal touch really was exemplary. Anyone who uses their service will be more than happy with the amazing results they will delivery. Good job Arnon and team.
Roberto Carvalho
There is no need for me to even think about it, you guys are hands down the best! MELLOHAWK facilitated my move to the US a few years ago and their personal touch was exemplary, right down to Arnon calling me and walking me through the customs process at my pick-up destination. Anyone who can make dealing with customs a breeze deserves an award! Good luck guys!
Martin Baksh
I've been dealing with MELLOHAWK for almost 7 years now and they are great to work with! They always go above and beyond the call of duty to satisfy their customers. Peter and Arnon are great people and that's why they are blessed with a successful business.
You guys deserve to be Number 1! Good luck!
Karen Theodorou
It's been a pleasure to work with MELLOHAWK. They are extremely efficient and reliable. Even the smallest job is done meticulously. They are always ready to jump through hoops to make our life easier! I would like to thank Arnon for his continuous support and wish him all the best.
Sonia Sehgal
MELLOHAWK is the definition of hardworking. They always do whatever is necessary to reach any target given.
Roseli Gimenez
I have known Arnon & Peter for many years and have had the pleasure of working with them for over 4 now. They epitomize all the best qualities of outstanding leadership. They not only treat their employees as family, but more importantly, constantly encourage us to improve our working skills and knowledge through training. All of the foreign student trainees that have worked here leave with a positive Canadian experience and all want to return some day to work for us. The company sponsors many corporate and local events and my bosses are excellent role models, good businessmen, and the kind of neighbours that everyone wants.
Elga Mannik
The MELLOHAWK team are the best! They are always ready and willing to help, and will go over and beyond to ensure that their customers are always satisfied. They are the best of the best in customer service.
Leigh Joseph
As an entrepreneur, I highly admire and respect MELLOHAWK Logistics. It is inspirational in the venture world to witness the success of a company that also has a holistic approach to business. Canada needs more entrepreneurial spirit among its inhabitants and MELLOHAWK logistics is a formidable example on how to create, cultivate and disseminate the essential ingredients necessary to foster new enterprises!
Ricardo Barros
MH is a success story – not only as business, but also for working as partner with the Brazilian community and creating a community within its office. Truly inspiring!
Paola Saad
I love their spirit of giving and sharing to the Brazilian community. Besides being unique and one of a kind in Toronto, the company also supports other small businesses to grow. Arnon and Peter, I do respect you both.
Guiomar Campbell
Aside from being an absolutely brilliant logistics company, MELLOHAWK also gives back to their community in both volunteer hours and financial support. We were very fortunate to have them involved with our production of "Hockey: The Musical!" and the show would never have succeeded without MELLOHAWK 's unwavering support and friendship!
Chris Leidenfrost-Wilson
Personable, reliable, trustworthy and competitively priced – I wouldn't trust our shipping with anyone else.

The importance of measuring siloxanes has increased with the recent growth of the landfill-gas-to-energy (LFGTE) market. Siloxanes and other biogas impurities can form a residue upon combustion in engines that may increase maintenance and reduce engine lifetime. A siloxanes analysis can assist with either determining if a bioaas purification system is needed, or if a system is already in place, determining if it is operating properly. To date, various methods have emerged to measure siloxanes involving different sampling techniques and detectors. This paper summarizes the available methods for the determination of siloxanes in air to enable members of the LFTGE industry to select the most appropriate method for then* application.
This paper presents information not only from method development by Air Toxics Ltd.. but also from available technical literature by analytical laboratories. environmental consulting firms, and trade conferences. The specific sample collection techniques to be compared are:
- Collecting a whole air sample in a Summa™ canister; and
- Drawing sample air through methanol-filled impingers;
- Drawing sample air through a charcoal sorbent tube.
The specific analytical detectors to be compared are gas chromatography (GC) coupled with a:
- Flame ionization detector (FID):
- Atonic emission detector (AED): and
- Mass spectrometer (MS).
This paper specifically compares the performance of collection and analytical methods in terms of:
- Ease of sampling:
- Collection of a representative sample:
- Siloxane recovery;
- Detector selectivity and availability:
- Reporting limit: and
- Calibration techniques.

Grizzly blamed for Yellowstone hiker death
Yellowstone National Park rangers are trying to capture a grizzly that they say killed a hiker from Michigan last week, the second fatal bear attack this summer at the famed park, authorities said Monday.
The body of John Wallace, 59, was discovered Friday along a trail near an area of the park known for its high population of bears. An autopsy concluded he died from injuries in a bear attack.
"We know of no witnesses" to the attack, park Supt. Dan Wenk said. "We think we provide visitors with pretty good knowledge and techniques to keep them safe in the backcountry. Unfortunately, in this case, it didn't happen that way."
Rangers set traps and plan to kill the animal if they can establish through DNA analysis that it was the one that attacked Wallace, Wenk said. He said park officials do not believe the bear was involved in the other mauling this summer several miles away from where Wallace's body was discovered.
In July, a female bear with cubs killed a hiker from Torrance. Officials did not kill the sow grizzly because they concluded it was defending its cubs.
In the latest case, there were no signs of cubs in the area where Wallace was killed. Wallace, of Chassell, Mich., was apparently traveling alone and had pitched a tent in a developed campground sometime Wednesday, park officials said.
Authorities said Wallace likely was killed Wednesday or Thursday during a hike along the Mary Mountain Trail. Rangers also found grizzly tracks and bear droppings near Wallace's body.
The body was discovered in an area of the park that rangers close from March to June because it is considered "high-density" grizzly country.
In the case of Wallace's death, Wenk said there was too little information to know if it was a defensive attack or not. As a result, he said the bear would be killed if it can be positively identified as the culprit.
Despite the killings, Wenk said dangerous encounters remain rare between grizzlies and the more than 3 million people who visit the park each year. The July killing was the first inside the park first since 1986.

Appendix QJAPANESE GENERAL OUTLINE
- JAPAN will speedily establish a strategic position to gain victory over the UNITED STATES and BRITAIN while crushing enemy offensives in order to decide the issue of war during this year or the next, and at the same time, rapidly build up the decisive battle strength, especially air power, and prosecute the war against the UNITED STATES and BRITAIN on our own initiative.
- JAPAN will further strengthen cooperation with GERMANY and strive relentlessly for the successful conclusion of the joint war and will also take the initiative in improving relations with the SOVIET UNION.
- JAPAN will promptly establish the domestic structure for the decisive battle and will further solidify the unity of Greater East Asia.
- The strategic posture to meet the Anglo-American invasion will be established, at the latest by around the middle of 1944 by surmounting all difficulties, and in the meantime the enemy offensive forces will be attacked and destroyed whenever occasion arises.
The strategic areas to be held at all costs in the PACIFIC and the INDIAN Ocean areas in prosecuting the war will be the KURILES, the BONINS, the Inner South Seas (central and western parts), and the area covering western NEW GUINEA, the SUNDA Islands, and BURMA.
Sea communications within the absolute national defense sphere will be safeguarded throughout the duration of the war.
- JAPAN will strive to the utmost to prevent the outbreak of the war with the SOVIET UNION and will take the initiative in improving the SovietJapanese relations and will also endeavor to mediate for peace between the SOVIET UNION and GERMANY at proper opportunities.
- JAPAN will maintain unremitting pressure against CHUNGKING and will take the earliest possible opportunity to settle the Chinese problem while checking especially the enemy air forces based in CHINA from bombing our homeland and disrupting our sea traffic.
- JAPAN will take every possible measure to strengthen cooperation with GERMANY. However, every precaution will be exercised to prevent the outbreak of war with the SOVIET UNION.
- JAPAN will win the confidence of the nations and the peoples of Greater East Asia and will guide them in order to receive and further encourage their cooperation with JAPAN'S war efforts. Vigilance will be exercised over enemy
political strategem toward the nations and the peoples of Greater East Asia, and necessary steps will be taken to forestall such enemy endeavors.
- The Imperial General Headquarters and the Government will further strengthen cooperation in their joint endeavor and will direct the war with renewed vigor.
- Resolute measures will be taken to build up the decisive military capability, especially the air power. The dauntless spirit to face the national crisis will be encouraged in order to bring the total national power into full play.
- The propaganda effort against the enemy will be conducted under a consistent policy, and will be directed mainly toward propagation of the Axis cause, diffusion of JAPAN's policy in Greater East Asia, demoralizing our major enemy, the UNITED STATES, alienation of the UNITED STATES, BRITAIN, CHINA and the SOVIET UNION, and helping INDIA achieve her independence.

She is the girl that I went on a walk with 2+ years ago and said, "Wouldn't it be awesome if God let us be pregnant at the same time?" Well, her daughter Emma and our daughter Ruth are three days apart...pretty lovely. And she was the one who on the day after her daughter was born (at home!!! She's nuts but amazing :)), said that she knew beyond the shadow of a doubt, we were having a girl-EVERYONE thought boy.
Alas, here she is:
Five simple ways to meaningfully enter into the fallSeptember is one of my favorite months. Though I grieve the end of summer sun, and mornings wearing little more than a t-shirt drinking coffee on my balcony, I welcome the magic that is fall.The air changes. New winds blow in, bringing with them an ancient kind of wisdom: September through November are months to let go, and let fall what no longer serves us or brings us life.September actually marks the start of the new year in the Hebrew calendar, and can't you feel it?Since I was a kid, and the rhythm of the school year dominated my life, September has always felt like the proper new beginning of the year. Yes, the big date changes in January, but in many ways the winter only marks a half way point, because the new routine began back in fall.It's been decades since I have ridden a school bus (or have been bought a new fall wardrobe), but seeing the excitement my son has for school to begin again triggers something in me.I think my heart still hungers for September to be what it once was to us: a time to start again. A time to let go of the old year and grow intentionally into the new. Do you feel it too?With this in mind, here are five simple ways to meaningfully enter into a new season. Take advantage of the fact that this time right now, this last week of August, is a "land between" lending itself to you as natural time to go within and reflect.Make time this evening to consider with pen in hand and journal before you what is working in your life right now and what is not working. The months ahead are there for you as a work space. With His help, gracefully you can shift habits and routines to shine more grace and peace or add more romance and adventure into your daily rounds.
1. Reflect on the posture of your heartPosture sets the tone for everything else. The posture of your heart reveals what you are orbiting around. For a journal exercises think about what you are thinking about. What topic/subject/issue gets the most air time in that beautiful brain of yours? Are you happy with the amount of energy being dedicated to that thing? Would you be happier if your focus was something else? Reflecting on the posture of our heart helps us to know what direction we need to shift, if shifting would be more life-giving to us than staying put. Take a look at the values your daily actions and decisions are aligning with. Do they align with your deepest beliefs and faith in what is highest and best? Or is the alignment off?I have found in my own life that a heart posture that is open and surrendered and lifting towards God is one that brings me more fruit. When I am I closed off, and my back is turned on my faith, my world gets uber-small and suffocating. My actions and my words don't align with who I want to be. But when my posture is open and humble, I am always surprised by the joy that enters in. Circumstances of my day or week don't have to change and yet there is peace. Romance appears out of no where and obstacles shape-shift into adventures.
2. Quietly declare a personal purpose for the seasonWhat woud give this season meaning and significance to you? Taking a look at the ways your life isn't working well, what specific thing would you like to see change? Set some goals. Or set a seasonal intention, something to keep you focused and inspired on using this time well.Right now I am on the pursuit of discomfort. The season ahead of me is a pilgrimage of uncommon romance and adventure where I am exploring tough issues close to my body, heart and soul. Having declared that this season will be dedicated to this purpose helps me frame each day in a way that affirms the journey. It is a journey and there will be hard days, but declaring in advance that this time is set aside for such a purpose is a powerful way to keep me from giving up.
3. Plan your weeks and your dayFailing to plan is planning to fail. You know how fast the weeks fly by. You know that Monday comes way to abruptly. (I am talking to myself, here, not just you).You can have a million plans to make magic happen this Fall but if you don't take your ideas seriously enough to stake on a calendar, you and both know what will happen.Nada. The season will pass in a fog of Pumpkin lattes with not much to show for it except a big dent in your coffee budget.I took the Strength Finder's test awhile ago and learned that one of my greatest strengths is that I love ideas. (This was kinda of a no-duh! for me: I knew I love ideas).Ideas fuel me. Carrying those ideas out to completion? Not so much.I need help with this big time. Most of us do. And here is what I have learned:The most consistent, effective, reliable help readily available to help me successfully bringing my intentions and ideas to their intended experience in reality is planning. Making old fashion use of an old fashion calendar. A large desk calendar works best for me. One I can hold and mark up in all sorts of Pentel colored ink.
4. Make time to play in the seasonal delightsEvery season is special. Saying so is trite and true.Fall offers to us once-a-year opportunities to engage and delight in being human. So does Winter and Spring and Summer. But Fall's delights happen in Fall. Not Winter. So don't miss them.Pay attention to the festivals, foods and traditions that are unique to each season. You've seen the fun stuff pop-op on your rader only after the opportunity to enjoy them has passed.There is no real point in apple picking when four different varieties of apples are available to you at your local grocery store...but apple picking is FUN.And you definitely can enjoy a glass of wine without putting any work in.... but grape stomping is FUN.Most importantly, you've promised yourself not to let another year go by without taking the family out to make a memory in an orchard or in a vineyard. So honor your promises. Go play.
5. PrayYou don't have to do this alone. You don't have to be your own guide. You can delegate up.I have learned that if I am serious about bringing greater significance and meaning to a season, I must be equally serious about prayer.Because what do I really know about what is best for me? I can think I know exactly what I need to grow and mature, or to find peace and to create more happiness in my life, but personal history has taught me better: I lead myself astray with astonishing reliability.If it was up to me to figure out all the how-tos of brining peace and meaning into my life I would surely fail. So now I have learned to ask for help.Ask our Lord for eyes to see what currently is hiding in your blind spot. Abide in the presence that fills eternity with love and wisdom and ask for what you need. Ask also for the grace to not miss out on the inner workings of everyday miracles. Ask for a heart to pay attention to what this new season has for you everyday as it unfolds.Morgan lives in Portland, Or with her handsome husband and their two kids. Walking through a family and personal history of anxiety and depression, and single motherhood, Morgan learned how to find the wonderful in the imperfect. Now she helps women come alive despite their circumstances so that they too can create their own lives of romance and adventure. She writes at morgandaycecil.com

Forum fitting: 33 in at Berlin
EmptyBERLIN -- The Berlin International Film Festival's Forum sidebar prides itself on being the home of the eclectic, the edgy and the weird, and this year's lineup doesn't disappoint. The 2008 Forum will feature films from 33 countries and includes 16 directorial debuts.
The stories range from Juan Manuel Sepulveda's illegal immigrant drama "The Infinite Border" to "Son of a Lion," Benjamin Gilmour's story of a young boy struggling to fight tradition in conservative, violent Pakistan to "My Winnipeg," Canadian director Guy Maddin's tongue-in-cheek tribute to his hometown.
Three Philippine films made it into this year's Forum lineup: Brillante Ma Mendoza's urban drama "Slingshot"; Jim Libiran's debut, "Tribe," about youth gangs in Manila's impoverished Tondo district; and Mes De Guzman's look at the island's rural life, "Balikbayen Box."
Berlin's Forum always puts politics front and center. This year the torn-from-the-headlines story lines include "Night Before Eyes," the directorial debut of Germany's Brigitte Bertele about a German solider returning home from duty in Afghanistan, and Paul Rowley and Nicky Gogan's "Seaview" set among would-be migrants to Ireland.
Japanese director Wakamatsu Koji provides a look a politics past with his three-hour drama "United Red Army," about the 1970s terrorist group of the same name.
This year's Forum will also feature a mini retrospective of Koji, with screenings of his films "Secrets Behinds the Wall" (1965), "Go, Go Second Time Virgin" (1969) and "Ecstasy of Angels" (1972).

UFO attack #1: the cushion
After I moved into the new apartment I planned a massive attack to the UFOs (UnFinished Objects :-) I have around. The easiest one (because it was almost finished) was this crochet cushion I started in Ireland last year. The project was for a crochet-only cushion to recycle some old yarn but it was too ugly to be true (or too ugly to be mine) so I finished the back with some lovely Lamb's Pride green wool and handmade buttons, and I covered the still ugly front with Sandi Henderson's fabric. Next target is the... [Lire la suite]
Too late for wool?
These days you can feel the spring is round the corner, so it seemed a better idea to use cotton for my next weaving project. What looks like navy blue in the picture is actually a nice purple colour in reality, but I couldn't get it right with my camera. You can't see me smiling but I am really happy with it.
Self portrait in my school assignment
It doesn't happen very often that you can wear your school assignments. I suppose this is one of the privileges of studying textiles. The project was about a colour: I chose pink. It was about making something to represent it: I chose crocheting a shawl. A very feminin, victorian style lace shawl was the pinkest thing I could think of. This is hairpin lace, a crochet technique made with a hairpin fork and a hook (see first picture below). My mother is an expert of this technique and she taught me how to do it. There's...

Batik and me
This is a batik piece I made on silk.I've been learning this technique in the Textile Dyeing workshop at school. I'd like to show a quick photo sequence of the process as I learned it:1. Preparing the wax by melting it together with paraffin and filtering. Once it starts to solidify, we slice it into small dices. 2. Melting the wax in a canting and drawing with it on the fabric, stretched on a wooden frame, in order to isolate the areas we don't want to be dyed. 3. Dyeing the fabric.4. After repeating the process of painting... [Lire la suite]
Batik lamps
A few of my experiments in batik, a textile decorating technique. The lamp covers are cut and sewn to fit an Ikea lamp. I made three different ones, so I can change the look of the lamp.
Embroidery inspiration: white
Some pictures from one of the most inspirational book I've seen lately, Broderies.
Thai Textiles
I went to visit an exhibition about Thai Textiles in Casa Asia, a fantastic Asian cultural centre in Barcelona. Apart from organizing events and courses, they have a specialised library and media archive and three floors dedicated to exhibitions, all inside Palau Barò de Quadras, a beautiful Art Nouveau (Modernisme) building with a gorgeous view over the city centre. You can have a quick look at the exhibition and the building in this video.
Dionne Swift, textile artist
(picture from http://www.craftmaker.co.uk/dionneswift/) My favorite artist exhibition at the Knitting and Stitching Show in Dublin was the one by Dionne Swift. The first picture is one of her devore works on velvet. She also sells kits to experiment this technique and teaches textile art workshops in her studio. (pictures from www.dionneswift.co.uk)These are two of her collagraphic prints on thick felt. Being used to see this kind of work on paper, I find that the surface of felt really gives it a very interesting dimension. Loved... [Lire la suite]
A fibre loot
Last week I visited the Knitting and Stitching Show at RDS in Dublin. I dedicated a day and a half to the show, the first day to see the exhibitions and browse the stalls and the second day to buy things. I thought it was a good way to avoid rushing through the shops and buying on impulse (and spending too much...) Looking at this picture and considering this is just a small part of the things I bought I am not completely sure that I succeded on my saving plan.But I couldn't resist buying this lovely shades of merino wool and silk...

Islamic Interpretation of Dreams (Ibn-i Sirin):
(Brand; Lock; Stamp) Ifone sees a person in authority placing the seal ofhis ring on a document in a dream, it means that he will receive an important appointment.
To see someone branding and sealing peopleâs hearing, sights, mou th or hearts in a dream means that God Almighty abhors their actions and qualities.
If a qualified person sees himself stamping cases of merchandise, or sealing coffers with his ring in a dream, it means that he may receive such a position or become a controller.
If he is poor, it also means that his needs will be promptly satisfied.
