"...Sign On The Window..."
Following on from June 1970's self-indulgent and often derided "Self Portrait" double album (funnily enough hindsight has many loving it to pieces) - critics and the public alike went nuts for the supposed 'return to form' of October's "New Morning". The British pummelled it into the No. 1 slot when it was issued slightly later in November of 1970 - and no self-respecting Bob Dylan "Greatest Hits" or "Anthology" is complete without "If Not For You".
Some have even said that "New Morning" is as good as 1975's meisterwork "Blood On The Tracks" - which in my mind is stretching credulity and the obvious audio truth way past its limit. "New Morning" is a solid Dylan album only with some moments of greatness. And re-listening to it in 2017 on this fabulous Remaster hasn't changed my opinion on that. Here are the Winterludes...
UK released May 2009 - "New Morning" by BOB DYLAN on Columbia 88697347002 (Barcode 886973470022) is a straightforward CD Remaster of the 12-track 1970 album and plays out as follows (35:50 minutes):
1. If Not For You
2. Day Of The Locusts
3. Time Passes Slowly
4. Went To See The Gypsy
5. Winterlude
6. If The Dogs Run Free
7. New Morning [Side 2]
8. Sign On The Window
9. One More Weekend
10. The Man In Me
11. Three Angels
12. Father Of Night
Tracks 1 to 12 are the album "New Morning" - released 21 October 1970 in the USA on Columbia KC 30290 and November 1970 in the UK on CBS Records S 69001. Produced by BOB JOHNSTON - it peaked at No. 7 in the USA and No. 1 in the UK.
Given that the original single-sleeve LP was so staggeringly boring to look at - the new 8-page inlay comes as a blessed relief. It's made up mostly of in-studio photos - Bob at the microphones - reading lyric sheets - the boys in the band discussing what to do next with Producer Bob Johnston. There's no new liner notes per say.
Al Kooper plays Keyboards, Guitar and French Horn - David Bromberg plays Electric Guitar and Dobro - Buzzy Feiten plays Electric Guitar - Russ Kunkel is on Drums with Maeretha Stewart guesting on "If Dogs Run Free" on Background Vocals.
But at least we get that stunning GREG CALBI Remaster - a man whose had his mitts on McCartney's "Band On The Run", Paul Simon's "Graceland", Supertramp's "Crime Of The Century" and "Breakfast In America" and even John Mayer's Remastered catalogue. Calbi has turned in another winner - these Dylan remasters are all jobs well done it has to be said.
The photograph on the rear cover is a youthful Bob in early 1962 with one of his Blues heroes – the barnstorming big-lunged Victoria Spivey – famous for misery raunchy tunes like "Furniture Man Blues" and troublesome fools like "Dope Head Blues" (see my review for the 20CD Box Set "Roots & Blues"). Though in hindsight – it's an odd photo to feature here with precious little on the album resembling Blues Music except maybe some of "One More Weekend". Word has it that the "New Morning" project was going to be another double set – a sort of Part 2 to "Self Portrait" combining covers that moved him in his youth with new material (some of those outtakes have turned up on the "Bootleg Series" of CD reissues) - but perhaps because of the backlash to "Self Portrait" that idea was paired down to the single LP we now have made up entirely of BD originals.
The album opens with "If Not For You" – a hooky-as-Hell love song Beatle George Harrison had debuted to the world only weeks earlier on his 3LP Box Set "All Things Must Pass" on Apple Records (the opening song). People love this song to Dylan's wife of the time - perhaps because that weird organ sound Al Kooper gets harks back to his 60ts sound on "Highway 61 Revisited" and that thinny Harmonica back even further to "Freewheelin' Bob Dylan". And despite it's rather slight feel BD sings - "...without your love I'd be nowhere at all..." and you can't help but think he actually means it this time (Olivia Newton John would lodge her first chart hit in February 1971 with "If Not For You" on Uni Records – No. 25 USA). "Day Of The Locust" feels like a great Bob Dylan song - while "Time Passes Slowly" was reputedly amongst the first three tunes recorded for an abandoned musical version of "The Devil And Daniel Webster" called "Scratch" (the other two were "New Morning" and "Father Of Night"). I have a very sweet cover of "Winterlude" by England's Steve Gibbons which he did for his 1998 CD "Bob Dylan Project" – Gibbons doesn't change its strangely casual nature and "...this dude thinks you're grand..." lyrics. We go early-morning smoky barroom Jazz for the spoken "If Dogs Run Free" that features scat vocals from Maeretha Stewart. As he'd veered away from 'Bob Dylan' – fans naturally went nuts and slagged off the song as derisory and all things unholy – but I've always thought it kind of brill. One man's heaven is...
Side 2 opens with the very Van Morrison sound of "New Morning" – acoustic guitars and lingering organ – marital bliss clearly keeping him happy (skies of blue – so happy just to see you smile). The album's other biggie for me is "Sign On The Window" – a ballad with lyrics that I still can't figure out – three's a crowd – down on Mean Street – a cabin in Utah – catch rainbow trout. Whatever you read into the forlorn sad words – I love his piano playing while the band plays catch up and that impassioned vocal is the strongest on the whole record. "One More Weekend" is a slippin' and slidin' Bluesy trollop of a song – the band finally sounding like a cohesive unit as they boogie in that Bob Dylan way (great Remaster). Some people enjoy "The Man In Me" but those girly vocals feel forced to me - I much prefer the simpler almost Gospel spoken song "Three Angels" with its 'concrete world full of souls'. The album finishes on the piano and voices rumble of "Father Of Night" - a sound Cat Stevens would tap on his "Foreigner" album in 1973. The one-and-half-minute song is also an indication of his emerging beliefs - gorgeous audio as he sings of "...father of air and father of trees...that grows in our hearts and our memories..."
Good - great - ordinary - different - the same – I love it – I don't love it - it's Bob Dylan. Even now his enigma eludes me...and would we have it any other way...-->

el es frida kahlo at the gallery
February 5, 2010 § Leave a comment
el es frida kahlo is currently on view in the New Media Room at the Bruno David Gallery in St. Louis, MO.
el es frida kahlo, 2007-present
Frida Kahlo played with the identity that she wanted to project and the identity that was placed on her by others. Kahlo used her clothing, political affiliations, sexual escapades, and personal traumas, to create a character that informed her body of work. She inscribed her identity, painting her image over and over, constructing a mythology around her persona.
In el es frida kahlo I confront the ambivalence I experience as a result of my simultaneous obsession with Frida Kahlo and weariness towards her commodification. Viewed from a tiny pinhole, dressed as Kahlo, I stand before a reproduction of one of her self portraits. With a mixture of rage, anxiety, and complete fear, I chant "el es Frida Kahlo, ella es Frida Kahlo, el es Frida Kahlo, yo soy, yo soy, yo soy Frida Kahlo," he is Frida Kahlo, she is Frida Kahlo, I am, I am, I am Frida Kahlo. As I yell, the painting behind me begins to fall. I violently tear down my braids and smudge off my makeup while continuing to scream "I am Frida Kahlo, I am Frida Kahlo, yo soy Frida Kahlo!"

Jewish Women on DovBear
February 3, 2010 § Leave a comment
Last night @DovBear sent me this tweet:
@Mayaescobar posted your jewish women clip w\o realizing it was parody. A little too well done. 😉
I visited his blog and found a post on Jewish Women called Too much kool-aid. The comments generated by this post are really interesting and address the video from a multitude of perspectives.
expert from his post:
"Aside: At the end, the woman on the film suggests that Jewish women who are dissatisfied with their back of the bus status secretly wish to be men. There's some truth to that, of course. Jewish women wish to be men in the same way that Jim Crow blacks wished to be white, meaning they want the same freedoms and opportunities that are available to men. Though Judaism has made much progress in this regard, the RW and Ultra circles still run like MadMen. Telling women they're more spiritual, pat pat, run along, is just a way to protect the status quo."

selection comments posted below:
if you follow the link-trail, it becomes clear that this video is likely making fun of the attitudes it depicts. so as right as what you say in this post is, it's not really aimed at this video…
So are you opposed to any distinction whatsoever between men and women in Judaism? Do you think we should get rid of the mechitza and the laws of niddah and negiah and tzniut because they all make distinctions between male/female and thus somehow discriminate against and oppress women? If so, why aren't you a Conservative Jew? If not, why not? What kinds of distinctions between men and women are not discriminatory in your book?
The fact is, Judaism have a very conservative halachic process that makes it difficult or impossible to change most things. Do you think we should change that process to make it easier to make big changes? If so how is that different from the Conservatives?
People mistakenly think that every explanation for distinctions between men and women must be some kind of conspiratorial justification for the status quo. But that's not true. You have to look at the history of the explanation. For example, consider shelo asani isha. The explanation is, women, slaves and gentiles don't have to perform certain mitzvot, so we're thanking Hashem for giving us more mitzvot to do. Conspiracy to trick people into thinking Judaism isn't sexist? No — it's in the tosefta to the earlier version of the three berachot (which thanked Hashem for not making one an ignoramus.) So that supposedly "P.C." explanation was from before the mitzvah was even finalized!
It's a mistake to think about Judaism in the same terms you think about American history. It's apples and oranges. If not, you'd be calling someone a "bigot" for not accepting the ordination of women, just like many liberals today will call you a bigot if you don't accept gay marriage. Of course bigot is an implicit reference to anti-black American racism. Which is a lot different from differing roles of the sexes in Judaism.
Actually, oppressing women is the best reason to get rid of the mechitza. Nidda has nothing to do with this.
And Tzniut has nothing to do with this. Tzniut has everything to do with social norms. Oppressive double-standard tzniut should be abolished immediately,
And you do not have to be a Conservative Jew to understand this. You just have to be an Orthodox woman.
AFIK the mechitza is an outcropping of the orthodox halachic process. It is at least a universally (amongst orthodox) practice minhag. How would abolishing the mechitza be consistent with orthodox Judaism?
I enjoy davening in my own (men's) section, because I would likely feel distracted/embarrassed by any attractive women in our shul standing next to me, hearing me sing, etc. I don't see how this translates into a desire on my part to oppress women. I'm sure there are men who wouldn't feel this way, and would probably daven just fine, just as there are young men, on the other side of the spectrum, who would maybe even ogle women. But it's impossible to satisfy everyone in a community.
I agree that there are misogynists in Jewish communities, but I don't think allocating separate space to men and women in the synagogue automatically translates into oppressing women.
In most Orthodox shuls, I would agree that most mechitzot themselves are misogynistic.
Buried in the back, or the corner, with an obstructed view of the proceedings.
The purpose of the mechitza is to allow for the inclusion of women in the service. Not the exclusion.
so it really depends upon how it is felt about and put into practice lemaise. I remember one woman quoting a sicha of the lubavitcher rebbe ztz"l a"h and saying "it sounds like litvish appologetics doesn't it?" she then adds "well there is a difference, the litvishers are telling this to women, the rebbe first said this sicha to men!"
This wikipedia article seems to support your views, except for the citation of R' Hirsh (who might be hard to depict as a feminist). But the article may be leaving out earlier sources.
It's part of a series called Acciones Plasticas by a Jewish Latina artist. http://mayaescobar.com/accionesplasticas.html It looks like an examination/satire of the stereotypes associated with her heritage.
Whoah, that lady had the most steriotypical modeof Ashkenazi-Jewish speech I ever saw…
Uriel do you really and truly think everything frum Jews say and do is authentically Jewish? well guess again. The post is a critism of the man made culture, not the god decreed religion.
The answer to your question is no. Will you answer my questions?
Look at the quote from Rav Hirsh in the wikipedia article and you'll see that the idea that women are more spiritual than men is indeed authenticly Jewish (unless you see Rav Hirsch as some kind of pre-feminist apoogist). How old it is, I'm not so sure.
The idea that women have a better nature or more spiritual is NOT authenticly Jewish. We know this because non Jews got fed the same horse manure as a way of keeping them satisfied with less. Look, I dont even know what youre arguing: The more right you go the worse off Jewish women are -in satmar they cant even drive and have to shave their heads. Thats an inrefutable facr.
That's an odd way of proving something, you have to admit. I think a better way is to see how old an idea is. But even if it's not that old, if Rav Hirsh and Rav Aaron Soloveichik said it, I would say that's pretty authentic. Something doesn't have to be somewhere in the Mishnah to be authentic (though the older the more authentic). Much of kabbalah, mussar and chassidus would be inauthentic if that were your standard. At that point you'd be creating your own special denomination that is very picky and choosy about what in modern Judaism is authentic to you — and that sounds like Reform.
Are you saying Satmar is more authentic than other Jewish groups? Chazal surely had more contact with heretics and gentiles than Satmar does.
E. Fink
I think Zapp is right.
This is a parody / satire for sure. She is NOT serious.

Latina Women Respond
February 3, 2010 § Leave a comment
Recently Latina Role Model was featured on TikiTiki Blog: stories with cultura, color and sabor, in a post by Carrie Ferguson Weir called Smart Latina vs. Sexy Latina. Carrie asked readers:
So, has your Smart Latina run up against the Sexy Latina? What do you see when you watch Maya's video? What does it bring up for you? Why can't we be both Smart and Sexy? Let's talk about this, break it down, maybe shatter some stereotypes, and bust our own too.
Check out the PROFOUND difference in the nature of the comments left on this post (comments posted below) vs the ones left on YouTube.
my contribution to post on Tiki Tiki:
I perform over-the-top representations of different identities. I group together these representations (characters) as a means of challenging limited perspectives of what women are like, and in this case, what Latina women are like.
This character is supposed to be an intellectual, accomplished, socially conscious woman- who will forever be seen as the "Sexy Latina." The low quality video blog is meant to mock scenes in movies, where the hot high school teacher walks down the hall and all the boys undress her in their minds.
But I am not taking a negative or positive stance either. I want to question the role Latinas play in perpetuating this persona, and question if that is even a bad thing? Are we limiting ourselves by continuing to have this same conversation, even though the behavior persists, are we enforcing it by bring more attention to it?
I haven't always been so impartial. Out of all of the characters in Acciones Plásticas, The Latina Role Model is the one I identified with the most. My original description of the way this character was perceived by others was much more reactionary and much angrier than it is now. (see below)
The Sexy Latina© from Acciones Plásticas free (stereotype) postcard, 2007
The Sexy Latina© is an educated woman who cares about important social and political issues. She wears suggestive provocative clothing to compensate for giving up her role as a homemaker. She uses her sexuality to obtain positions in the work world.
Latina Role Model from Acciones Plásticas プリクラ 2009
Over the last two years this character has really evolved. Here is the new description of The Latina Role Model, re-imagined as part of my Acciones Plásticas プリクラ collaboration with artist Rio Yañez:
The Latina Role Model is a diploma totin' intellectual, sexy, social media goddess.
What do you think? How does the earlier description of The Sexy Latina© differ from this new description of The Latina Role Model? How do these two images relate to the Latina Role Model YouTube video?
Sra. López says:
This is an excellent post and an excellent video. It really does make you think.
I am really not qualified to speak from a "Latina perspective" on this topic because I am Anglo. (If you read my blog, you'll know I'm Sra. López only because I married a Salvadoran.)
That being the case, I can't speak from personal experience on Latina stereotypes, but I would like to contribute an opinion or two on topics that are pretty closely related.
For example, it really bothers me that the Latinas picked as reporters and journalists on Univision and Telemundo seem to be more for the purposes of eye candy than to report the news and add intelligent commentary — not that they aren't intelligent women, but I think the sexism by the head honchos over there is pretty evident, not just on the news, but on other programming as well… And English language channels aren't always much better. I think Western women in general – no matter what their race, fight very hard to overcome the sense that we are valued more as objects of sex/beauty, than for what's inside.
It's very frustrating and I don't envy the difficult job many women have of raising daughters in this world. (I have 2 sons) … With my own self esteem issues, I can't imagine what a challenge it would be to raise a girl who is confident in herself and who doesn't let Hollywood, fashion magazines, men, or even other females, get her down.
I don't know the solution to achieving true equality, but I think talking about it all is a good start.
Angelica Perez says:
Very interesting…The role model I immediately identified with was the socially-conscious, smart role model, which made me realize how loaded that role is. Being an accomplished and educated Latina comes with so many expectations — the whole giving back to the community, serving your community, being a role model and mentor for others, etc. — that's not something that an accomplished non-Latina woman has to worry about (or feel committed to).
With regards to the sexy role model — I always say that there is no sexier woman than the one that exudes confidence in herself and who she is — the sexy clothes are just extras…
Great conversation…

Ana Lilian says:
I guess I just never even thought of myself as the Sexy Latina…but a cute one yes! LOL! But once I´m on the dance floor, then the sexy comes out and it´s all good.
But,seriously, I guess I just lack the perceived-Latina sassy-ness as I´ve never felt that bias towards me.
I will definitely agree with dear Sra. López that the media, especially the Hispanic media, is completely promoting the hot Latina stereotype, and not much of the smart Latina one. Why do their "news" anchors feel they need to have their breast augmented to be taken seriously?
Kikita says:
I think it is inherent in our culture to be "hot" in every sense of the word because we are so passionate.
I love what Maya was trying to accomplish and say with her video, but I found that she couldn't hide or deny her Latin sensuality even when she was trying to play the part of an "intellectual, accomplished, socially conscious woman."
This DID make me stop and think, but what I realized is that I tend to shoot for a 3rd type. I go for "Classy Latina." You know, the one that can wear the big hoops and sexy top with a pant suit. Someone like Ingrid Hoffman or Karla Martinez.
C. Morales says:
My impression is that Latina women play into the stereotype because Latino men often expect them to, and they are threatened by a smart woman. It is not just non-Latino men who expect a mujer caliente and nothing more.
Liz says:
How you project yourself, depends on you, no matter what. I, like Ana, never felt that I was looked at differently because I am Latina. I don't see my self as a Sexy, Hot, Latina(I hope my husband does, though). Hell, I'm 33, been married for 12 years, and have 3 kids. I don't get "chifles" anymore… ): LOL!
This is directed towards the younger, single generation. How they present themselves as the future "Latina Generation", depends on how they are raised. It's up to us, as moms, to teach our daughters to go and be the BEST they can be. It's up to me to raise my daughter to know what it right from wrong. Do guys really still think that girls are still destined to be "home/baby makers? Really??
Forget Hollywood. Forget the Media. Heck, forget the evening news. If those ladies felt that they need to have their lady lumps hanging out in order to get the job, then I feel sorry for them. But, it is what it is.
I will raise my daughter to know that education is the key to being classy and sexy! Not exposed Humps and Lady Lumps! Also, I will raise my boys to see women and they see themselves. Whether they marry a Latina or not.
Ay, me pase de mas! he he!
SUZ says:
A smart and fun video commentary on the stereotypes of women in general…the educated intellectual, the hot babe, the innocent women. I like that Maya uses humor to deflect the extremes. Also that she creates a fine line between integrating the different role types. This is interesting because everyone is never just one thing…but we may choose to identify one way.
Melissa Garcia Logan says:
I think it's part of a male dominated culture. Many women have this problem of having to manage male expectations in their professional lives, whether it is living with objectification or men projecting their need for nurturing from any woman they meet. I've had jobs where men thought it was okay to flirt with me and expected me to fulfill some messed up hot secretary fantasy, and I've had jobs where men I worked with expected me to be maternal and when I was driven, I was labeled aggressive. I'm not a dog, I'm not a hooker, and I'm definitely not your mother, guys.
I think we have to teach men when they're children that women can fill many roles and to expect them to be as capable and androgynous as any man performing the same duties. By the same token, I don't know how I feel about using gender or sexuality as an asset to get ahead, my feeling is that anything you do that is manipulative in nature, is skirting unethical, if not flat out crossing the line.
Having a sense of humor about stereotypes though, I don't know if I see a problem as long as you don't go too far and reinforce them. If it's clear it's a joke and part of the joke is how ridiculous stereotypical behavior really is…
Carrie says:
I love the feedback, ladies. All great points and fabulous reflection.
I am left wondering this, after reading Ana and Liz's comments: Is stereotype/perception felt/seen at a greater level when we don't live in predominately Latino communities?
This comes to mind because your comments made me realize I never thought too much of my Latina side and my American side until I lived in cities where there weren't a bunch of Cubans running around me everywhere. My otherness was apparent and pointed out. It was almost like, wow, I am different?
Marta says:
I don't fit into the Sexy or Brainy Latina mold at all. Probably because I look very Anglo – light skin, blue eyes. I blend pretty seamlessly into my So Cal suburban life.
Except for the Latina "chispa." That's always the big giveaway right there. =D
Liz says:
I emailed your post to my niece, whose studying at Penn State, this is what she had to say:
Well, I agree with her lol. A lot of people especially here in Pennsylvania, see me as exotic because I'm Hispanic. They expect me to speak Spanish all of the time and a lot of them expect me to be kinda stupid and slutty. But when people get to know me, they find out that I'm extremely smart. Smarter than most people they encounter. And it sucks because I'm always having to prove myself to people and to teachers. But in the end, I'm the one that's dropping jaws for my intellect and not for my attractiveness =)
The end haha. Hope that helps.
I am one PROUD Tia!!! (:
Carrie says:
Liz, aha! Thank you for sending the post to your niece and validating my theory. I love how your niece wrote to you and the "stupid and slutty" line made me bust out laughing — especially because she obviously is not.
Gracias, proud Tia!
(Maybe she needs to write for the Tiki Tiki? hmmmm?)
Veronica says:
Great video and excellent points.
I think that this expectation for Latinas to appear sexy is one reason why I reject the hot mom movement. I wish there was just as much social pressure to be smart Latinas, smart moms, smart women as there is to be hot, sexy, etc.
Just For Jewish Girls
February 2, 2010 § Leave a comment
excerpt from article in The Jewish Chronicle by Justin Jacobs
Walk into the Saint Vincent College art gallery in Latrobe and the first thing you'll see is a wall covered in brightly colored women's panties.
Not the most common item on display at this small, staunchly Catholic institution, but peek a little closer — each pair is adorned with Hebrew text: shomer negia (don't touch). Or, as artist and designer Maya Escobar explained, many interpret her panties as, "If you've gotten this far, you're too far."
The underwear is part of Tzit Tzit: Fiber Art and Jewish Identity, Saint Vincent's new exhibition as assembled by guest curator and associate art professor Ben Schachter. The pieces included interpret the exhibition's title both literally and metaphorically — tzit tzit as art, certainly, but also as a symbol of how Jews are bound together by material through tradition and practice.
"I wanted to make something like a 'What Would Jesus Do' bracelet but for young, Jewish girls," said Escobar of her popular creation (they sell online at her Web site). "But why do people automatically assume it has to be a sexual message for men? It should be a halachic thing for women. Ideally, these aid in being shomer negia because they're a reminder. They're about individual sexuality for women."
"They're provocative and also 'keep your hands off' at the moment of greatest vulnerability. It's really post-modern and funny," said Schachter. "I mean, it's underwear."

The hospitality industry is getting a piece of the health and wellness tourism pie as, in some cases, medical travelers need a place to stay following a medical procedure. Other times, wellness travelers are looking for the best place to go in order to jump-start their healthy lives.
Consequently, the hospitality industry must take the necessary steps to ensure that they are prepared to offer these health and wellness travelers the services that they want and need. The Puerto Rico Medical Tourism Corporation, an arm of the commonwealth's tourism structure, launched an initiative to certify several hospitals and hotels in Puerto Rico. With this initiative, Puerto Rico will be prepared to market to, and receive incoming health and wellness tourists.
The hotels in Puerto Rico that have achieved WellHotel® Certification have complied with all standards that the Medical Tourism Association® has deemed essential for properly caring for a health and wellness tourist.
"Patients need information when looking into a destination for medical care. Being a certified WellHotel® provides an additional level of security to the patient; it assists them in making an educated decision regarding their healthcare choices and the hotel where they will stay to rest or recover. Patients often look for recommendations from friends, family, and sometimes use social media sites; having well-established hospitality service procedures influences the decision to choose our hotel," – Mr. Raúl Bustamante, managing director of the Condado Plaza Hilton.Share

Born to protect women's hearts, her own beats longingly for a mortal.
Ondina, one thousand years a goddess, doesn't think much of mortal men. Probably because her sole purpose in life is to protect the hearts of women who don't want to fall in love. And now one of those blasted men–Jack–has shattered her sacred chalice, trapping her in a mortal body.
Jackson Nichols, on the partner track at his law firm, is the first to admit he always follows his head. Never his heart. Dina is infuriating, messy, condescending, sexy, beautiful and…well, just about everything that doesn't fit into his meticulously planned life.
Neither expects to find many redeeming qualities in the other. But when push comes to love, which will Dina choose? Her newly human heart…or one thousand years of duty?

by Robert Jaquiss
From the Editor: Robert Jaquiss is a longtime member of the Federation who has lived in several states and has participated actively in each of them in our National Federation of the Blind affiliates. He is passionate about the need for tactile materials and shares the views of many who have recently written for this magazine that learning to use tactile graphics should be a part of any young student's experience as he or she matriculates through school. As a member of the Committee for Research and Development, Robert has been following and actively encouraging developments in this field since 1993. He is now a director of the recently announced 3D Tactile Graphics Division of the American Thermoform Corporation (ATC). ATC is selling the equipment described in the following article. Here is what he says:
In the April 2012 issue of the Braille Monitor I wrote an article entitled "Technology for Producing Tactile Materials." The technologies described are often referred to as 3D technologies. Products are improving and prices are decreasing—developments that will have a major effect on the education of the blind. Now a teacher can find an image using the Internet, download it, and produce a model for his/her students. Blind and low-vision students can more easily understand the concepts being taught and will be able to feel models of cultural artifacts.
I will describe two devices: the 2BOT and the MakerBot Replicator 2. It should be noted that both the 2BOT and Replicator 2 are most likely to be used by sighted teachers and transcribers. The software requires the user to view an image on screen in order to produce it.
The 2BOT is an easy-to-use, computer-controlled milling machine that connects to a PC with a USB cable. This machine uses blocks of foam measuring 12 by 13 3/4 inches and up to 2 inches thick. The foam blocks are inexpensive, ranging in price from $4 to $28 per piece depending upon the type of foam used.
To operate the 2BOT, the user removes a frame from the 2BOT, installs a piece of foam in the frame, and inserts the frame back into the 2BOT. The software is started, an image selected, parameters set, and the job started. When the first side of the model is complete, the foam dust is vacuumed out, and the frame is removed, flipped over, and inserted back into the 2BOT. The job then resumes, cutting the back side of the model. When the job is complete, the model is detached from the remains of the foam block. Depending on the size and complexity of the model, a job can take anywhere from twenty minutes to three hours. The 2BOT sells for $5,995. A complete turnkey system, including a supply of foam and an industrial vacuum cleaner, sells for $6,595.
The MakerBot Replicator 2 is a 3D printer that uses spools of ABS filament to construct models by melting and then depositing drops of molten plastic under computer control. The Replicator 2 can create models impossible for a milling machine to produce. The build volume is in inches: 11.2 long, 6 wide, and 6.1 high.
Like the 2Bot, the Replicator 2 is also easy to use—it connects to a PC using a USB cable. The models are built in layers: imagine building a loaf of bread standing on its end. The loaf could be built by stacking up the slices of bread until the loaf is complete. The process is similar for the Replicator. The user starts the software, selects an image, sets parameters, and starts the job. When the job is complete, the model is removed from the Replicator, and any support material is removed. Support material is necessary when a model has an overhang, for example the head of an animal. The Replicator can deposit material either on its base plate or on previously deposited material. If a model of an animal is needed, support material is produced to hold up the animal's head. The Replicator 2 sells for $2,400.
American Thermoform Corporation is proud to sell these fine products.

This basis of data is so important that during Superior Leather-based Options technician's coaching program, it's introduced in the first lesson. So they think that it's kind of of a chance that may often carry you to the known commodity that's modern furnishings. While you decide to buy a leather piece, you will have to first take into consideration what you're doing to do with the piece and what your lifestyle is like. Many customers are turning towards leather furnishings due to its enticing styling and sturdiness.
Test the conditioner on a hidden space of the sofa to ensure it won't trigger discoloration of the leather. It is really a superb factor to even think about that modern contemporary leather sofa, while a bit pricy can still provde the big ups on improvement in your dwelling. I ran again to Joann's and grabbed two bottles of this Leather Studio leather-based finisher.
It's best to use a leather-based conditioner each six to 12 months to maintain the leather-based trying good and feeling comfortable. These have been some products that the professional's advisable to me, to use at my leisure, or each couple months, to maintain my leather-based brilliant, soft, and powerful. Some individuals are turned off by the upper costs, however it is best to keep in mind that you'll likely buy two or more fabric couches in the identical time span that you'd hold your leather couch.
Resulting from its relative ease of eradicating stains and filth, typically, the leather furniture is wiped with chemical-laden solutions that may make cracks appear on the sturdy end. After the leather-based resurfacing was finished, Lucky's little digging mission was totally invisible, even to me! Though leather furnishings requires minimum upkeep but it surely doesn't suggest that this genre of furniture is completely upkeep free.
Earlier than buying leather furnishings, it is always advisable to arm your self with all the essential information that's essential regarding the leather furnishings. Leather-based furnishings dye is custom matched to precisely the same shade as the original coloration and I watched the technician make and match the dye precisely to the couch with my own eyes. For tough filth or stains, clean with authorised leather-based cleaner or a gentle nonalkaline, nondetergent soap and a mushy fabric.

Hi all, thanks for stopping by once again to view my blog. Today I would like to chat about the steps I followed to finally get down on paper MY definition of minimalism. I would like to recommend that anyone wanting to experience a new way of life through minimalistic practises also embark on a similar process. Doing so will allow you to have a clear understanding of :
- Who you are doing this for.
- Why are you doing this.
- Exactly what it is that you are doing.
- What goals you want to achieve.
- How you go about achieving your goals.
Before embarking on my life changing journey I had an overwhelming feeling of "is this it?". My life was normal for all intents and purposes, but it felt empty. Every day was a battle..... All I seemed to do was work and pay bills, with little time left for anything of any real substance. My relationship with my beautiful wife was in the proverbial "crapper" (when compared to how it is now) and I didn't spend enough time with my Daughter. There was no one specific thing that went wrong, it was a combination of smaller things all of which were issues associated with not spending quality time with the people I love. I had let worldly pursuits blind me and I no longer had a direction. My self esteem was low and every day became a grind, at times I felt suicidal. Right at this low point I asked myself the following questions "Am I happy to continue the way things are", "Do I want to be in this relationship", and "what changes can I make to fix things". My answers were No, Yes, and buggered if I know......
|My Goal !!! A pictures paints a thousand words.
Right, time to act..... I knew I loved my wife and that she loved me, I knew we both loved our daughter, I knew I didn't want to continue this way but I didn't know where to start or what to do to fix things. So I stopped right there and had another little think, I asked myself what was the single most important thing in my life. I could not answer with just one thing, but I did answer, "my family, my relationship and my personal spirituality". I didn't want to cut out one thing so I could buy more of something else (like the Porsche above), I didn't want the perfect new age minimalist home (that costs a million dollars to build - again pictured above). What I wanted was a perfect life with my wife and my daughter and for me to explore my inner "soul" more so as to become a better person to and for those in my life.
From there I decided to investigate ways to focus more of my energy on these three crucial areas of my life, but how can I achieve this when all I do is work and most of my money goes on bills and/or selfish pursuits. After much discussion with friends, reading of books, searching the Internet etc I happened upon the concept of Minimalism. Immediately I could see that Minimalism not only offered me a way to change my life, it also offered me a way to change myself.
"If you don't define a thing then that thing may define you"

In 2005, your private NON-US company grosses $1 million. Your Fairy Godmother will give your company $10 million. You won't have to repay the money. You'll keep 100% equity in your company.
Your alternative is to have our associate take your NON-US company public. They'll raise money for your company and train you in the corporate game of controlling your stock. The process will cost you a small percentage of your company's shares. Your insiders will retain the majority of your company's stock and complete operating control.
In either case, you'll use the money wisely to build your company along the lines he will teach you. In five years, you'll want to sell your company. At the time of your company's sale, your company's profit is $3 million/year.
Which offer should you have taken five years earlier to get the best price for your company?
The Fairy Godmother offer leaves you with 100% ownership of your private company. Your private company should sell for 1.5 times its annual profit. Your golden parachute is worth $4.5 million.
Our associate's programme assumes a public company merger in five years. Your stock should trade over $20/share. Your insider shares will be worth over $100 million.
Which was the better deal?
The moral of this story is: take your operating company public. The money you'll raise from your private equity financing isn't nearly as much as the money you'll earn from the sale of your stock at the time of sale or merger.

I Am A Church Member-A Functioning Member -Part 2
April 17, 2015
Joshua 1:8– "This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success."
My friends, listen, do you realize that when you prayed and asked Jesus Christ to come into your heart you lost it all whether you know it or not? The Bible says we've been bought with a price, we are no longer our own. We've been stamped by God, and all that we are now belongs to Him. The Holy Spirit has sealed us in Christ, and He is affecting our mind, will, and emotions in our soul and even our body. He has energized us, and He causes us to shine because our lamp has been lit by the Holy Spirit. He has gifted us in such a way to serve, and we can be diligent in our service if we don't get passive. But, my friends, if we see ourselves lagging behind, we need to turn around and begin relying on God once again. We need to make up our minds who we are going to serve, God or this world? Like Joshua, we must observe to do according to all that is written in God's Word and then our way will be prosperous and we will have good success.

Rearfacing car seats are 5 x safer
Frontal accidents are the most likely accidents and those where the forces are most severe
You never know when or how you are going to have an car accident. As a result, neither can you prepare or adjust the placement of passengers as a safety measure. Due to this, you should always calculate on a worst case scenario: a head-on collision. Frontal accidents are the most likely accidents and those where the forces are most severe. The best way to protect yourself in a head-on collision is to be seated rearfacing.
Traveling with rear facing car seats will greatly reduce the stress on the neck
If the muscles in a child's neck are subject to too great a force, the consequences may be catastrophic. By being seated in a rearfacing position you will greatly reduce the stress inflicted on the neck.
When a collision occurs at 50 km/h (31 mph) the stress inflicted on the neck of a child that weighs 15 kg and is seated in a forward facing position will be the equivalent of 180-220 kg. If the child instead is seated rearfacing, the stress would be reduced to 40-60kg. At the same time the car seat will protect the child from debris flying around in the car.
Baby's head represents a large part of total body weight
A child's body is not a copy of a grown person. It's important to realize that your child is not a copy of you. The most essential difference is the size of the head. For a baby that is 5 months old, the head represents 25% of its body weight. For a grown person the head represents only 6%.
The statistics speak for themselves
Independent studies of real traffic accidents carried out by Volvo and Folksam show that your child, up to the age of 4 years, has a 5 times greater chance of surviving and/or avoiding serious injury if sitting rear facing rather than forward facing in the car. Traffic accident studies from Volvo show that amongst children sitting rear facing in the age group 0-4 years, only 8% was injured and needed medical assistance. For children sitting forward facing in the same age group, 40% of the children needed medical assistance.
* Source Volvo and Folksam
Rearfacing 8% Forward facing 40%
This shows that rear facing car seat use is 5 times safer than forward facing seats.
Sweden is world leading when it comes to a child's safety in a car. In order to stay ahead they have introduced the Plus Test – one of the worlds most demanding tests for car seats. Not many seats have passed the Plus Test, all who have, has been rear facing.

One of the leading hot topics for the coming year is the impending federal election, the first in four years since the Conservative Party won a majority of seats back in 2011. In total, Prime Minister Stephen Harper has been at the helm of the government for eight years. More than ever, the place of science in present and future government policies is among the main issues all Canadian political parties must consider, and scientists are pushing to have a place in the minds of voters.
The Harper government has been accused in recent years of "scientific muzzling," where scientists are prevented from sharing their findings and conclusions. It is also a term used by the non-profit organization Democracy Watch Canada in its campaign to advocate for the right for publicly-funded researchers to freely address the media and share their findings without censorship. The situation has also attracted the attention of comedian Rick Mercer, who spoke out about it on his CBC show, the Rick Mercer Report, last year.
"For a long time, there were very active scientists advising the government," says Catherine Potvin, a professor in McGill's Biology department who specializes in neotropical ecology. "We now feel there is this vacuum of scientific advice."
Some notorious cases of alleged muzzling include Kristi Miller, who was prevented for months from discussing her sockeye salmon research with journalists, and David Tarasick, who had to wait two weeks before addressing his work on ozone loss in the Arctic. Miller's case generated considerable controversy. Her findings brought significant insight into the crash of salmon populations on the West Coast, and were significant enough to be published in the peer-reviewed research journal Science in 2011. However, Ottawa officials denied her the permission to speak on the subject for an extended period of time, resulting in the government being heavily criticized by the scientific community.
The challenge for many researchers now is not only to deliver results, but also to be heard and to bring attention to the information they provide. Government-funded scientists are left attempting to connect with the taxpaying citizens, who have provided the money used to conduct their research. Potvin emphasizes the importance of such an exchange: "Scholars should share information with the public. People have invested in me and my colleagues, and I consider it is the time I give back by sharing my information."
"It is often assumed that only federal action matters to fight climate change, which is not the case. Environment needs to be addressed by all levels of government – municipal, provincial, and federal."
— Catherine Potvin, professor of Biology at McGill
The situation does not only concern Canadians, as it has also attracted the attention of the international scientific community. Last October, 815 scientists from 32 different countries signed a letter addressed to Stephen Harper, bearing the headline, "Earth to Canada: Science Needs You," in an effort to advocate for more freedom for scientists receiving funding from the government. This highlights the need for a worldwide mobilization of scientists to solve modern problems faced by the planet: a spirit of collaboration that can be hindered by political intentions.
At the forefront of the science in politics debate is the topic of environmental protection, since Canada's actions against climate change have been less-than-stellar from an international perspective, following its withdrawal from the Kyoto Protocol and its continued development of the Albertan tar sands. As the next meeting of the United Nations (UN) Framework on Climate Change Convention conferences in December approaches, Canadian environmental policies over the next year will be crucial in defining the image the country projects in the international fight against global warming. Climate change activists hope to see a change of approach in Canada's position on the environment following the elections, before the meeting takes place. In an interview with CBC last month, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon himself encouraged Canada to take a more proactive role, citing the need to seek an economy relying on cleaner energy resources.
"We are currently very far from the leadership position," said Potvin. "In the late 1980s and the early 1990s, Canada has been a leader, notably around the Rio Convention, with Canadian Maurice Strong being a most important player. Now, we are left to catch up with the middle group."
Strong, a businessman from Canada, took on numerous UN appointments at that time, including a position as the Secretary-General of the Earth Summit in 1992. Thanks to his work, the environment was put on the international agenda at the UN.
When asked if there are any Canadian climate change policies on the right track, Potvin makes a distinction: "It is often assumed that only federal action matters to fight climate change, which is not the case. Environment needs to be addressed by all levels of government – municipal, provincial, and federal. Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal, Canada's major cities, have several good policies in place, and the Quebec and British Columbia governments are also making progress. As for the federal government, changing regulations for fuels used by cars and trucks was a step in the right direction, although small. The most needed change in the future is to put a price on carbon."
Voters may be left to wonder how to consider issues like environment when election time comes. The first move is to consult the appropriate resources. "The Conservatives currently have no climate change policy. The [New Democratic Party] does have one, elaborated by Jack Layton, and the Liberals are in the process of developing it.
"Voters should read policies by all parties," Potvin says.To make sense of those, comparing them with the opinions of experts may be a good approach. "My colleagues and I will propose a climate change action plan in March, to the best of our knowledge, which can become a tool to use as a benchmark comparison before people make up their minds."
Beyond the struggles over current federal policies, the media coverage received by science issues during electoral campaigns can be vital for the information to be shared properly. "There is currently a large interest from the media in climate change," says Potvin. The 2015 race is therefore an opportunity to put the spotlight on why science ultimately matters by engaging everyone in the conversation.
Time will tell if science gets its shining moment in the electoral race, but once the polls are closed, one challenge will remain: can political ambitions be put aside to truly pay attention to what our experts have to say?

Hello everyone.
Recently my computer started to behave very strangely.
Some applications just stacks up.
For example i start program1.exe, close it, and then start it again.
I have two program1.exe in task manager, but i have closed them, but they are taking up allocated memory. I can continue start/close it and get alot of program1.exe in task manager.
Is this a common problem and is there any way to fix it?
(I have WinXP Pro SP3)

Greeper Laces
Thanks for visiting Greeper.Com!
Greepers are the best shoelaces you'll ever use: simple to fit, easy to use and they never come undone! Greepers continue to gain wide acclaim in both sport and healthcare and recently inventor Peter and Greeper® Laces featured on the new Channel 4 programme Buy It Now!
Made with real (not elastic) laces you get the optimum performance from your sports and leisure shoes and the convenience of quick loosening and tightening – even in the freezing cold and with gloves on!
So whether you're off to a triathlon, the mountain trails, the park, school, the office or just chilling out, Greeper® Laces are the laces you need.
Just choose your style and colour and then place your order here.
Fitting Greepers…
The video below shows how to fit the laces to your footwear and then how they loosen and tighten them. It takes just a few minutes to fit GREEPER® Laces and it's worth following the steps carefully so you get the loop sizes and tension just right. Once set up you'll never have to tie your laces again!
Once Applied, Always Tied!
Healthcare Professionals
Greepers Ltd is proud to be an Associate member of The Society of Shoe Fitters. This recognises the importance of Greepers as a device that supports healthy feet!
We are keen to get Greepers out to the professional community and so provide a free demonstrator unit to Occupational Therapists and other healthcare professionals who will find it a useful aid to both demonstrate how Greepers work and allow the end users to practice using Greepers prior to purchasing the laces. Please send us an email via the contact form if you would like to receive a free demonstration unit.
Trouble tying shoelaces?
GREEPER® Laces have proven to be very useful for many people who struggle to tie shoe laces for any number of reasons, including conditions such as ASD, Aspergers, Dyspraxia, Cerebral Palsy, Stroke and Amputees.
Once Greepers are fitted to the footwear they are loosened simply by pulling on the pull tab of the toggle. The user then simply makes the lace loops bigger to tighten the laces and enjoy a secure, snug fit. Small stoppers on the lace loops prevent the Greepers from coming undone, hence our slogan…
"Once Applied, Always Tied!"
We have also developed the GREEPER® Assist device. Loosening the laces one handed is very easy, but it is more tricky to tighten them. The Assist enables people with only one functioning hand to tighten the laces.
Parent feedback…
Hello, I am a mother of a 13 year old boy with down syndrome and one of my best friends has a boy with autism.Your laces are freedom for our boys!!
Triathlete feedback…
I used my first pair (of Greepers) tonight which I bought at the triathlon show and put them in new shoes bought today. They are so much better than elastic laces used in triathlon, your feet are so much more stable. I am a definite convert.
Customer feedback…
The (laces) have arrived in good time thank you. Like most great ideas based on a simple concept. I am able to wear shoes and boots with laces again after 30 years. Thank you!

Walleye regulations on lakes in the Namakan Reservoir will be discussed at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 25, at the Kabetogama Community Hall on St. Louis County Road 122.
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) fisheries staff will provide background information, answer questions and take public input on the future of experimental regulations on Kabetogama, Namakan, Sand Point, Crane and Little Vermilion lakes in northern St. Louis County.
"We expect to present at least one option to modify the current protected slot, and possibly two or more," said Kevin Peterson, International Falls area fisheries supervisor. "These five lakes are popular fishing destinations and we want to be sure the public has the opportunity to ask questions and participate in the discussion."
The current experimental regulation for walleye, in place since 2007, requires the immediate release of all walleye from 17 to 28 inches. One walleye more than 28 inches is allowed in a possession limit of four walleye. The possession limit for walleye and sauger combined, is six.
The current regulations expire on March 1, 2013. Input at the meeting will help determine if they are modified or extended to achieve fish management objectives.
People unable to attend the public input meeting may submit written comments to the DNR Area Fisheries Office, 392 Highway 11 East, International Falls, MN 56649; by phone at 218-286-5220; or via email to email@example.com. All comments must be received by Oct. 8.
Comments will also be accepted at an open house at the DNR Central Office, 500 Lafayette Rd, St. Paul, on Wednesday, Sept. 26, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

THE SETTING -- A six-day trip by members of the Theater Historical Society of America to visit 24 defunct and operating movie theaters and playhouses in and around New York. A group of theater building enthusiasts, 202 strong, they came from across the country and from as far away as Canada, England and Australia.
On a recent sunny Friday, they toured six theaters, including the Loew's Kings on Flatbush Avenue in Flatbush, Brooklyn, a 1929 gem, now empty, in which a pigeon or two flew over the dusty maroon seats. (A subgroup of roller-coaster fans later managed a side trip to Coney Island.)
THE BUZZ -- Suzanne Whitten, who writes about movies, from Welland, Ontario, couldn't wait to see the Kings. ''My fiancé was at the Kings in 1976 before it closed, and I fell in love with him after he showed me his slides,'' she said. The couple had met on a similar outing, to visit Cleveland's historic theaters, in 2000.
At the Kings, whose ornate terra cotta facade is worn but intact, the group rented an electric generator for $1,000 to light up the interior. The building had been unlocked for the occasion by the city's Economic Development Corporation, which owns the structure.
Orlando Lopes, a Brooklyn native and a walking encyclopedia of Brooklyn movie house lore, was instantly drawn to a dimly lighted ornamental bird above the stage. ''That's the original peacock,'' he said. He effortlessly pinpointed the birth and death of the Kings, which opened its doors on Sept. 9, 1929, with ''Evangeline,'' starring Dolores del Rio, and closed on Aug. 30, 1977, with ''Islands in the Stream.''
Mr. Lopes also told the group that the full-size basketball court in the basement, where ushers once played, was intact. A few ''ahs'' pierced the ethereal light when he mentioned that a Brooklyn girl named Barbra Streisand worked as an usher at the Kings in 1958.
''If anyone knows Barbra, tell her to write a check for us,'' suggested Richard Sklenar, the white-haired executive director of the 1,100-member organization, which is based in Elmhurst, Ill.Continue reading the main story
Rebecca Callister, a 16-year-old volunteer tour guide at Cleveland's Playhouse Square, which has four restored theaters, knew a movie palace when she saw one. ''When this is restored,'' she said, ''it'll beat the pants off us.'' ROSALIE R. RADOMSKYContinue reading the main story
