We go to Venice on the train to visit Michelle Lovric (www.michellelovric.com), who writes books about Venice.
Michelle takes us to the Campo dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo to visit the Scuola Grande di San Marco. In a large room, with an ornate Renaissance ceiling, humans can look at primitive surgical equipment, including saws for amputations and slim picks for poking in eyes. The word "butcher" surfaces and I am interested in the place for twenty seconds. The humans go inside, I am content to sit in the sun in the piazza and meet dog friends and listen to their Venetian owners natter away with She Who Must Be Obeyed.
Michelle asks if I would like to examine a dying bat crumpled against the wall of a narrow alley. I decline. I wait patiently while she takes a photo of it. Have you ever noticed how humans are attracted to every disgusting thing they find on the pavement?
Saturday we go to the fish market and buy plates of fried fish and glasses of wine. We take our vittles to the quayside and sit on the stone pavement to eat our lunch. Seagulls swoop overhead. One drops something into Michelle's plate. Every molecule in Michelle's body seems to draw tight and shimmer for a moment. She offers the remainder of her fried squid to me. I love al fresco dining.
We go to Bacaro da Fiore, a crowded little osteria. I am fed meatballs and cooed over by the waiters. I lie down and they and their patrons are careful to step over me. People start telling She Who Must be Obeyed the names of their dogs: Franco, Dick, Zeus, Camilla. I fall asleep.
"Let's get a picture of Stanley in front of Ca Dario, the most haunted house in Venice," says Michelle. They hoist me up on the parapet of a tiny bridge and dance around trying to frame their shots. German tourists approach and I detect the enticing aroma of granola bars. She Who Must Be Obeyed loosens her grip on my hindquarters and I leap forward off the parapet and into the path of the tourists. "Dogs are very sensitive," says Michelle. "He no doubt felt the ghostly vibrations."
They are cooing and coaxing and offering doggie treats to get me to pose with Michelle's new book, The True and Splendid History of the Harristown Sisters. I don't like having my picture taken. I don't like the sound the camera makes and I don't like that bright light that sometimes stings my eyes. When I hear the camera's opening tune my usually elegantly floppy ears press back against my head and my round eyes take on a haunted look. It is a very good book and I am sure I would enjoy it if I read books….but….this picture taking business…. She Who Must Be Obeyed pulls me into her lap and whispers sweet things into the back of my neck and massages my spine. I will not be so easily seduced into compliance.
I come upstairs after my nap. The humans are talking about Aldus Manutius (Aldo Manuzio), the re-inventor of the semi-colon. He married well and unfortunately passed away shortly before perfecting the hemi-demi-semi colon. I go to each person in the balcony room and let them know that treats would not go amiss but they keep on talking about punctuation. I curl up under the table and go to sleep. I dream of meatballs.
We go into an antiques shop on the Zattere. The owner, a man with long hair who is losing the battle with middle-age, gives me a dirty look. Michelle points at a small canon. "It would be perfect for the balcony," she says. Is she joking? I can never tell with humans. I spend a millisecond worrying about the brides in their gondolas who glide by Michelle's balcony on the Grand Canal, and the young men in dinner jackets who whiz past in motor boats. Dogs and cats are in no danger because she unabashedly likes them. Here are some pictures of fine floating dogs she took from The Balcony.

When you think of the the future do you think of flying cars? Jet packs? Solar powered… everything? Or do you think of inexplicable tubal transport systems, inter-dimensional portal guns, and teleporters that beam you to unexplored territories?
If you lean more towards the second set of possibilities then you're going to love July's Loot Crate unboxing!
July Loot Crate: Futuristic
July's theme is Futuristic! Brace yourself for a peek into the worlds of Futurama, Rick and Morty, Star Trek, and more!
Upon first opening, I immediately loved the Futurama themed motif on the inside of the box.
After that, my eye was immediately drawn to the Futurama Planet Express ship!
So, of course, it was the first thing to come out.
Captained by Leela, and crewed mainly by Fry and Bender, the Planet Express ship has visited many worlds as they transport cargo between far flung – and often dangerous – worlds.
This is definitely going on the shelf! I'll post a pic to Instagram as soon as we have the nerd wall up and running.
Honestly, I never would have thought of Mega Man as an inclusion in this crate, but it makes perfect sense. What's more futuristic than a robot defeating bad guys with a canon attached to his arm and the ability to absorb the powers/tech of boss fights.
Mega Man makes his appearance as a 3″ figurine from Kidrobot.
Dressed in his Fire Storm weapon suit, Mega Man is ready for all levels of game play!
You certainly can't have a futuristic theme without including something from Star Trek, right? Though I'm happy to see Star Trek included in this month's box, I am a little disappointed in this replica decal of the U.S.S. Enterprise Dedication Plaque.
I'm not even sure how to describe it… made of a flexible plastic with sticky backing, it's meant to be stickied to a flat surface like a window, wall, or fridge. They claim it's repositionable; but, I'm sure if you reposition it too much you will either lose the stickiness, or pet hair/dust/fingerprint buildup will mess with the stick factor just the same.
Personally, I think a Starfleet Division badge would have been so much better.
One thing I always look forward to is the t-shirt, which is included in almost every month's loot crate. This month's Rick and Morty t-shirt does not disappoint!
Featuring Rick's interdimensional portal gun, it shows various shots of the gun and some schematics. The portal gun allows Rick – a super genius/mad scientist – and Morty – Rick's not so brilliant grandson – to travel between dimensions to go on insane adventures.
Though I haven't read it yet, I am really looking forward to taking some time with this Valiant comic, 4001 AD.
Reading up on it, it looks like it's a continuation of the series Rai. I apologize that I don't know much between the two comic series, so if I misrepresent something, please feel free to contact me and I will correct this post.
Basically, the Rai series is about a futuristic world where an industrialized Japan is now a nation floating above the earth, orbiting the planet. It is divided into various sectors, levels, and hierarchies with the rich at the top and the poor at the bottom; and ruled by an artificial intelligence known as Father. Rai is the lead enforcer of Father's justice; and, if I'm understanding correctly, he is part machine and part human, though it looks like he may not know of his human side at first. The series follows his discovery of his human side and how they deserve freedom from Father's authority.
4001 AD appears to follow the story line after Rai and a human named Lula have attempted, and partially succeeded, in destroying Father by planting a virus in him. In his attempt to stop the virus, Father starts dropping various sections of Japan to Earth.
This is definitely one I want to catch up on, both in the Rai series and the 4001 AD series… you know, in my vast amounts of free time.
Okay, don't get me wrong on this one, I love this month's pin of Spock's iconic Vulcan salute. However, this is a pin! Why is this not the Starfleet Division badge?!
Moving past that obvious question, this one is definitely going in my keep pile. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with all these pins yet. If anyone has any cool DIY project ideas, let me know!
That's it for July's Loot Crate! It was a lot of fun and I absolutely love the Planet Express ship, the t-shirt, and the comic.
I can't wait for next month's mystery crate, and will do another post on it as well. Probably not on time… as usual.
Oh, and there wasn't a recipe included in the pamphlet AGAIN, but it did have this great Rick and Morty page to color. Again, when I get a chance in my "free time", I'll take a moment to color and post to Instagram… because I know everyone is just dying to see my coloring skills.
I hope everyone enjoyed this unboxing!
Live long and prosper my friends.
Please don't mind the mess.
If you enjoyed this post, I'd be grateful if you'd help me by emailing it to a friend, or sharing it on Twitter or Facebook. Thank you!
Please note: This review consists of my own thoughts and opinions based off my own purchase of the product. I was not compensated in any way. If Loot Crate wants to compensate me though, they are welcome to email me!

Twenty Years of South African Constitutionalism
Constitutional Rights, Judicial Independence and the Transition to Democracy
Friday, November 14, 2014 – Sunday, November 16, 2014

Photos from the event are available here.
South African constitutionalism has much to celebrate after its first twenty years, but also faces acute and disturbing challenges. We sought to understand both the achievements of past years and the difficulties that have emerged along the way. We explored, as intensively as possible, the question of law's capacity to contribute to building an egalitarian, free society in South Africa – and by implication elsewhere.
This symposium sought to generate an interdisciplinary encounter that is both wide-ranging and firmly focused on the persistent question of what law can accomplish and how. By bringing together a specially strong and diverse group of participants, for a sustained inquiry in large settings and small ones, formal and informal, over four days together, we believe that this symposium will generated an ongoing conversation about law's connection to transformation that will be rich both intellectually and practically.
We sought to address questions of both theory and action, by bringing together insights from four broad perspectives:
- constitutional law: to take full account of the jurisprudential challenges of developing legal doctrine, particularly doctrine for a new constitutional order
- law and society: to look closely at the roots of legal thought in social settings and the impact of law on social action
- legal education, in particular clinical and experiential legal education: to consider the ways that the training of future lawyers can contribute to shaping the legal order
- public interest law practice: to bring to each conversation the experience of actual law reform efforts, and to connect the perspectives of scholars and educators with the insights of those in action "on the ground"
We hope this symposium was an occasion for South African scholars, teachers and lawyers to step back and reflect on the complex events of their own country. We see this reflection taking place in dialogue with colleagues, Americans and others, who study South Africa from elsewhere. We also see it being enriched by engagement with colleagues whose principal focus is not on South Africa but on other countries, countries whose experience will shed light on the challenges and possibilities in South Africa.
We also see this symposium as a catalyst to renewed attention to South Africa here in the United States. We hope that this rekindling of interest will have potential benefits for South Africa, and Africa as well; we are confident it will also make a difference in the United States. South African constitutional law addresses the same sorts of issues as American constitutional law – but in even more complex and difficult circumstances – and American scholars, lawyers and law students can learn from South African efforts to achieve full freedom and equality. We hope, therefore, that this symposium served as a starting point for further teaching at U.S. schools about law in South Africa, and that it will stimulate interest by American scholars and students in seeing and experiencing South African law and society themselves.

Root Canals
"Root canal" can be a scary term for some people. At Always About Smiles, we use modern technology to make root canals simple and painless. We've answered some commonly asked questions about our root canal therapy — feel free to contact our office with any additional concerns.
Why might I need a root canal?
Root canals are needed when a tooth becomes infected. That means a buildup of bacteria has reached the internal nerve tissue of the tooth. You may notice this infection due to one or more of these common symptoms:
- severe pain when chewing
- lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
- tenderness or swelling near the infected tooth
- a recurring pimple on the gum near the infected tooth
- darkening of the tooth
If you notice any of these signs, please contact our office right away. The sooner we see you in our office, the sooner we can take care of the infection and save your tooth. The longer you wait, the more likely your tooth will be to die. For information on our emergency dental care, please visit our page.
Is a root canal painful?
Root canal therapy itself is not painful, but the need for one sure is! If you are experiencing pain due to a tooth infection, let us use our safe, modern root canal techniques to erase your discomfort. The process begins by administering a local anesthetic to numb the area. This will take care of any discomfort due to the procedure and help you stay comfortable. We also offer nitrous oxide and oral conscious dental sedation for patients who want to feel even more at ease. We then gently access the interior of the tooth and remove the infected nerve. After cleaning the interior of the tooth, the tooth is saved by placing filling inside roots. We often finish off the dental procedure by placing a dental crown to restore the tooth's structural integrity. This process effectively eliminates your tooth's ability to feel pain, restores its health, and helps you get back to your normal life — all very painlessly.
How can I prevent the need for a root canal?
Preventing the need for a root canal is simple. Follow these easy instructions to keep your mouth healthy and clean:
- Brush your teeth at least three times a day. Use a toothbrush with a small head and soft bristles to best reach all of the nooks and crannies in your mouth.
- Floss in between your teeth once per day to dislodge any debris.
- Avoid sugary snacks, and brush your teeth immediately afterward if you do indulge.
- Keep regular cleaning and exam appointments. When you see a dental hygienist for a dental cleaning every six months, we can ensure that your mouth is as clean and healthy as possible. A routine exam will also help us catch and treat any small problem before it leads to the need for a root canal.
- Follow any hygiene by the doctor or hygienist instructions given to you by the dentist.
If you think you may need a root canal, contact us immediately. We can be reached at (484) 403-0099 or via our online form. We will be happy to help!

Last Wednesday saw the first crop of fashion design graduates showcase their talents with the London College of Fashion MA show taking place in the ornate rooms of the V&A. It was a true celebration of emerging menswear design talent and certainly whet this blogger's appetite for the year ahead. To celebrate the cream of incoming crop of graduates we aim to speak to each of our favourite students to learn more about their collections and their experiences at LCF. First up, Matteo Molinari.
It was Matteo Molinari's crocheted tailoring and reimagined classics that made the biggest impact on the graduation catwalk and ultimately saw him walk away with the grand prize. His highly desirable and beautifully tailored collection fused modern tailoring with traditional craftsmanship to stunning effect. Drawing inspiration from his childhood fascination for the small dots, lines and circles printed onto white paper that his mother and sisters used to create crochet lace. Here, Molinari created patterns which were converted into pieces of crochet and put into panels of this largely sophisticated black and white pieces. This complex technique of combining crochet into the luxurious menswear fabric creates a dichotomy between what is traditionally seen as masculine and feminine. Here we talk to the design talent to learn about his experiences at LCF and his hopes for the future...
Applying the finishing touches to Matteo Molinari's prize winning collection.
SS: Firstly, congratulations on more than playing your part in a dazzling, menswear rich MA show. How did it feel seeing your finished designs on the catwalk and ultimately winning the main prize?
Matteo Molinari: I felt honoured to have been chosen to be part of the V&A show. It's a real event with press, buyers and huge media coverage. When I heard my name I was shocked and very happy at the same time.
SS: Describe the moment you realized you wanted to be a menswear designer?
Matteo Molinari: During adolescence I started to be interested in fashion, but it was a very long path for me to come to the complete acceptance that I wanted to be a designer. My previous degrees were a Communication BA and an MA in Philosophy of the Languages. It was only after these experiences that I started to work as a freelance design consultant and then began my Fashion Design and Technology MA.
Applying the finishing touches to Matteo Molinari's prize winning collection.
SS: What attracted you to the LCF MA course in particular? What was the best thing about your course? And the worst?
Matteo Molinari: LCF is famous for being well connected with the industry and well known for the high level of technical skills you can learn at this college. The tutors, lecturers and the technicians are very well trained and experienced, I learn so much from everyone of them and my collection is a reflection of my knowledge path. The only bad thing about my Masters is that there are so many things to do in so little time. Fifteen months is such a short time and this pushes you to work 24/7.
SS: Can you talk us through the inspiration for the collection?
Matteo Molinari: Usually young designers are experimenting more with shapes, extreme styles and eye-catching proposals and weird looks. Keeping this in mind, I tried to be different and began with the traditional male wardrobe, working on the essentials of menswear: the suits, the trench-coat, the coat and the white shirt. I changed proportions and I elaborated a personal silhouette: sharp for tailoring, structured and architectural for the coats adding the cross-gender twist of using handmade lace in a graphic and masculine way.
I've been focused on tailoring and hand-made crafts because these elements are a huge part of my Italian heritage. It sounds like a stereotype but I pay so much attention in the pattern cutting process to get the shapes I wanted. The silhouette is distinctive and the cut of the clothes accurate and thoughtful. The quality of the clothes was a central element. The structure of the collection reflects it: just tailored pieces, coats, trench coats, shirts and high waist trousers, no fancy or over styled outfits.
SS: What was your starting point?
Matteo Molinari: I started analyzing the meaning and the implication of symbols in the actual garment design.
SS: How would you describe the collection in your own words?
Matteo Molinari: Black, tailored, sinister, handmade, Psychic Youth, crochet lace, architectural shapes, androgynous, cut, cropped, NON, reworking men's wardrobe basics, European folk traditions.
Stunning detailing.
SS: Personally, I love the balance struck between traditional tailoring and textile techniques rarely used in menswear. One of the best examples of this is the crochet back tuxedo jacket. Could you talk us through some of the techniques used, for example the hand made crochet and your attraction to them?
Matteo Molinari: I was amused by the notation used to transcript the movements necessary to produce a piece of crochet lace. Small dots, lines and circles are printed on a white page to create intricate and beautiful pieces of work, if correctly interpreted by a skilled artist. I developed my patterns starting from the crochet panelling. I used crochet not like an embellishment but as a important part of the pattern. Crochet is a feminine technique, a knowledge shared between mothers and daughters in Italy. Doing menswear based on it pushed me to reflect about a lot of social and cultural implications related to gender. Not merely cultural concept of masculine and feminine but differences between art and craft and the unnatural.
SS: What type of man can you see wearing it?
Matteo Molinari: Confident and cerebral with a melancholic spirit.
A closer look
SS: I know this is difficult question to answer but have you got a favourite, anything that you were most proud of?
Matteo Molinari: The crochet back tuxedo jacket.
SS:Finally, what would you like to achieve in 2011 and beyond?
Matteo Molinari: Be free to decide what I care and what I don't. Continue doing clothes for my SS 2012 collection. Be passionate in what I'm doing.
Two of Molinari's models mingling with the other collections.
In addition to creating a collection that makes your heart skip a beat or two, Molinari's desire to breathe fresh life and excitement in to traditional skills and techniques should be applauded. The detailing of the pattern cutting, the sharp fit and the mixture of Italian manufacture, japanese fabrics, hand stitching and crochet produced by close family members makes this collection both luxurious and desirable but also hugely personal and emotional. I'll leave you with these fantastic look book shots by Christopher Agius Burke...

Matteo Molinari's collection will be available to order and a line of sunglasses and glasses is already available. I just can't wait to see this talent develop.

Sarkozy gets twitchy as French rise up against austerity
Matthew Campbell
June 13, 2010
THE Germans are battening down the hatches and the British are reefing their sails. Politicians from Portugal to Italy have announced a wave of austerity measures to weather the worst economic and political storms in the history of the European Union.
In France they are thinking of fun summer holidays; the last refuge of the long lunch, for the time being at least, has eliminated la rigueur, or austerity, from its lexicon.
A newspaper cartoon captured the French exception: it showed a British worker with empty pockets saying: "In English, rigueur is 'austerity'." A German worker says, "In German, rigueur is 'Sparpaket'." Next to him, President Nicolas Sarkozy raises a glass, announcing: "In French, we don't say rigueur."
It is not that the French, Europe's laureates of leisure, are somehow immune from the crisis. Bookshops are full of doom-laden titles such as Yesterday Crisis, Tomorrow War.
"If nothing is done to bring down the debt, the French will have to spend the whole of the next decade paying for the follies of the last one," warned Jacques Attali, a prominent economist and author of Will We All Be Ruined in 10 Years?
François Fillon, the prime minister, who was rebuked two years ago by Sarkozy for having had the temerity to suggest that France was on the verge of bankruptcy, seems to agree.
He announced a plan yesterday to cut public spending by £37.5 billion over the next three years in order to save France from the risk of having its debt downgraded.
While other Europeans act, the French have confirmed at least one national stereotype: they are contenting themselves with talk. Fillon's cuts must first be debated by parliament and whatever is agreed is unlikely to be an austerity package.
Sarkozy knows that "the R word" would infuriate a workforce already mobilised to protect "accrued rights" won over decades at the barricades.
In a country which beheaded its leaders two centuries ago and where street protests have a record of bringing down governments, the president, once a vociferous proponent of "rupture" with bad old habits of the past, is living in fear.
"From one austerity package to the next, we risk killing off the recovery," he told a group of his party's MPs while explaining his allergy to austerity.
On Tuesday hundreds of thousands of workers are expected to take to the streets in protest against government plans, expected to be announced on Wednesday, to reform the pension system. The retirement age is forecast to be raised beyond 60, possibly to 63.
The government has also announced a freeze on new spending as part of an effort to bring the budget deficit to within 3% of GDP — the limit set by the EU — by 2013; last week it began selling off hundreds of unwanted government buildings, including a prison in Lyons, to help build up the state's coffers.
It knows, however, that any announcement of deeper cuts could prompt an even greater explosion of anger as the perception takes hold that banks and "casino capitalism" have gone unpunished while ordinary people are suffering.
"It is not the strong shoulders but the weak that are having to shoulder the burden," said Michael Sommer, the German union leader. "Those who caused the crisis in the first place are not being involved at all."
It is not only the French who are resisting la rigueur. All over Europe unions are fighting back: yesterday, thousands of German workers took to the streets in anger at Chancellor Angela Merkel's budget cuts.
Thousands have marched through Lisbon against the government's austerity package. Spain is protesting as well: its civil servants last week staged their first strike for decades. On Thursday, Greek rail workers walked off the job to protest at government plans to sell a 49% stake in the loss-making state railway company.
There are fears that angry protests could flare out of control as they have in Athens and Paris.
In normally placid Sweden last week, dozens of youths ran amok in an immigrant suburb blighted by high unemployment. In two nights of rioting, they set fire to several cars, attacked a police station and burnt down a school building.
Some countries seem to have accepted the need for new budgetary restraints: elections in Holland last week were won by austerity-minded liberals. But the French, with their free-spending, live-for-today philosophy, have never shown any such interest.
They have been more sympathetic to the spendthrift Greeks, their Mediterranean soulmates, than to the fiscally prudent Germans and this has put enormous pressure on the so-called Franco-German "motor" that is considered to be so essential for getting things done in the EU.
So tense have relations become between Sarkozy and Merkel that they could not even agree which of them was to blame for postponing until tomorrow a dinner they were supposed to have held last Monday night.
Sarkozy has tried to show France is serious, suggesting amending the EU constitution to make it illegal for governments not to balance their budgets. But he was advised that such a change would never attract the necessary votes.
Fillon, for his part, seems determined to restore fiscal sanity. The days were over, he said, when governments could go on borrowing indefinitely on the understanding that their statehood was an "absolute guarantee".
"We must break with this vicious circle," he said. Even if, he seemed to suggest, that meant a bit of la rigueur.

Can we be both commanded and free to choose? Does Judaism value choice and freedom? If so, how can the Bible and Talmud describe punishments for those who do not observe the laws and even discuss what types of methods of coercion may be used by the leadership to force people to follow the law. Together we will explore sources that address these issues and think about how we can have a system that values both Commandments and choice. This session was given by Rabbi Zvi Hirschfield as part of the Pardes Executive Learning Seminar, Summer 2017.

Paul Walker"s younger brother Cody, who has stood in for the late actor on previous occasions, could be playing a more permanent role in the Fast and Furious franchise.
Earlier this year Cody took on Paul"s character Brian O"Conner to film the final scenes of Fast and Furious 7.
According to the MailOnline, producers have decided to retire Paul"s character and instead Cody "will join the crew" in a new role.
Jordana Brewster and Cody Walker on set in May
"Of course, Cody isn"t a replacement for Paul in any way, but the producers were really grateful that he stepped in to help them finish this last film and Cody is so likeable and charming," a source told the website.
"It would be a tribute to Paul that Cody carries on the Walker name in the Fast and The Furious movies."
The news came after Paul and Cody"s other brother Caleb, who has also stood in for the late actor, was pictured on the set of Fast and Furious 7 in Los Angeles.
Caleb, 36, was seen acting alongside Jordana Brewster, who plays his on-screen love interest. The co-stars appeared to be in high spirits as they took a break from acting and shared a joke with the film crew.
Jordana Brewster and Caleb Walker on set in June
The film appears to end on a positive note as just last month Cody was spotted sharing a poignant moment with Jordana and their on-screen son.
The trio were seen clasped in a family embrace on a beach in Malibu, and Cody was later pictured picking up the little boy and running along the sand with the child on his shoulders.
Vin Diesel and Paul Walker
The cast and crew still seem to be feeling the loss of Paul on set, as actor Vin Diesel posted a heart-aching message on Facebook.
"Six months have passed… and I still go to the Fast Seven set every morning half expecting to see my brother…," wrote Vin alongside a photo of himself and Paul. "Count your blessings… the blessing of brotherhood…".
Paul tragically passed away in November 2013 after he was involved in a car crash with his friend, who also died in the accident.

If you've been following this blog for a while, you'll know I've been experimenting with macro photography for a while (see previous posts here, here and here.) I have used the 'reverse your lens' trick up until now but because I have a 18-135mm lens it proved incredibly difficult (and sometimes frustrating) to focus properly. And since I'm not in a position to be able to invest in a proper macro lens at the moment, I started looking at an alternative and discovered a wide angle and macro lens adapter*.
There is however a big trade off for using an adapter. Because it is screwed onto the end of your lens, you will always have some degree of a black halo around the image which is the inside of the adapter. And while I think the halo can work, it limits the composition and style of the photo. If I am to crop the halo out, I end up with an odd shaped image as compared below.
Again, this can work and I'm going to experiment editing them in Photoshop and look at different ways of presenting these odd shaped images.
The two photos below are my favourite from the day. Both work quite well with the halo and in the last photo it actually accentuates it. As I said before, it's a downside. One that you can work with but it does still create limits.
I'm looking forward to experimenting with this adapter and cannot wait until Spring. There will be so much to photograph!

Eating Out: Blue Hill at Stone Barns
We've been rabid fans of Blue Hill at Stone Barns, Dan Barber's exquisite homage to the pastoral, ever since our first visits to this special restaurant set amid what were once actual stone barns on a Rockefeller-owned retreat in Tarrytown, NY. There's a location in the West Village, too, but we're so enamored of a trip to the close-by countryside -- to eat our vegetables next to the fields and greenhouses in which they were grown and our meat and eggs within sight of the animals that produced them -- that we've never ventured out to its urban cousin.
A meal at Blue Hill revolves around the most local, seasonal produce the earth and herds offer up, and one of our eating out goals is to visit at every possible turning point throughout the year, so we can experience their treatment of dozens of different vegetables, each at its peak of abundance and flavor. This is really the only restaurant in New York on which we'd splurge, though we're not averse to being taken there either.
Between our own devices and the generosity of others, we've now been there four times together (and I had been there once before without Jon). This, I'd have to imagine, makes us relative experts on Blue Hill and fair judges of the quality of any given experience there. When we made our first trip of the year up there on Saturday night, the resulting meal was a standout: spot-on and intriguing preparations of asparagus, lettuce, carrots, and ramps, the earliest signs of spring, evocative seafood, and the tenderest of grass-fed beef.
Here's a run-down of our menu, which begins with the typical profusion of amuse bouches:
Carrots and radishes on the fence
Emmer wheat and parmesan lollipops
Asparagus, pancetta, and sesame seeds
Yukon gold potato chips with sage, and farro crackers
Balthazar's potato bread with Blue Hill Farm butter and ricotta, and beet and carrot "salts"
Beet burgers (Second photo above)
Maine crab in carrot-dill broth with peppercorn sorbet
Asparagus with almonds, pistachios, caviar, and shaved preserved embryonic egg yolk (First photo above)
Crispino lettuce in lettuce broth with spring vegetables (Third photo above)
Maine lobster with ramps in fruit and vegetable sauce (Last photo above)
This morning's farm egg with speck and ramps on red wheat cake
Grass-fed beef with asparagus and parsnip puree
Citrus with milk jam and coconut sorbet (We got to eat dessert outside, which made this even more delicious than it looks below.)
Beet-chocolate cake with coffee sorbet
Pineapple with multi-grain cake and some sort of ice cream
Chestnut macarons
Cinnamon marshmallows, coffee meringue sticks, and chocolate-raspberry truffles
We were too overwhelmed by the time the second round of dessert came out to take in all the dessert descriptions... and it was too dark to get any good photos of them, but they were among the best desserts we've had there, for certain.

Strategic Communication emails
Requester: Crump, Jake
Organization: Oregon Daily Emerald
Initial Request Date: 08/12/2013 Status: Requesting/Reviewing Records
To view any and all emails dated Aug. 1 through Aug. 11, between UO VP for strategic communication Phil Weiler, UO VP for university advancement Mike Andreasen and the following athletic department employees:· Jeff Hawkins· Rob Mullens· Craig Pintens· Dave Wiliford· Andy McNamara
We would like this search to look for, but is not limited to, the following keywords: "university of nike", nike, the Register-Guard, "letter to the editor," the New York Times, Sports Illustrated and "universityofnike.com
Still no word from Hubin on waiving fees for student-journalists. The STC voted unanimously to support this, and Hubin said the administration would move expeditiously on it. That was in February. Seems like Gottfredson got cold feet.
8/12/2013 update: Looking for a scapegoat Rob? There's a rumor that Mullens almost fired Hawkins last week, for letting slip to reporters what everyone over in the Moshofsky center has bragged about in private for years. Meanwhile, a very interesting RG story by Diane Dietz today on the unhealthy kind of competition the Jock Box and Sweat Shop nurture:
How do you teach humility in the context of such world-class facilities?
"There has to be a relationship," Doty [US Army lieutenant colonel and West Point instructor, retired] said, "where this quarterback is a great quarterback, and he's going to win a Heisman Trophy — blah, blah, blah, blah — but he's also still a student at the University of Oregon, and he needs to behave and be treated within the classroom and in the community as just another guy. Most importantly, he needs to understand that."
Pendleton [UO philosophy PhD and co-founder of the Sports and Conflict Institute] said the lavish buildings reflect certain values.
"The meta-message is clearly that athletics takes priority in a lot of ways over the academic aspects of the school. How, when you see the quality of the facilities, could you not conclude that?" he asked.
"Let me put it as diplomatically as I know how. I do not think that someone could defend (the exclusivity), if there were to be a public debate on the subject, in terms of any ideals that we would defend as being appropriate to a university."
But the Ducks keep claiming the Jock Box and Sweat Shop are good for all of the University of Nike, not just for themselves:
The lives of football players are exceptionally demanding and the players need the extra back-up to succeed, their coaches say. Plus, the football operations center lifts the whole university, Helfrich said in a recent interview.
UO student-journalist Craig Garcia has a rather different take, today in the Daily Emerald.
8/11/2013: Just kidding, UO President Mike Gottfredson is still keeping his head down. Maybe he'll make some typically evasive remarks at this week's leadership retreat, about these quotes in the NYT:
"People will complain, but this is not excessive," said Rob Mullens, the university's athletic director.
"We are the University of Nike," said Jeff Hawkins, the senior associate athletic director of football administration and operations. "We embrace it. We tell that to our recruits."
Keep me posted, we'll want these for Gottfredson's next secret performance evaluation. No, this is about a letter to the RG Editors from Senior Associate Athletic Director Jeff Hawkins, complaining about their recent news stories, which he's posted it on the "GoDucks" website here.
On August 8, 2013 at 11:43 A.M., Senior Associate Athletic Director Jeff Hawkins submitted a Letter to the Editor of The Register Guard regarding a quote attributed to him.
The letter has yet to be published, despite the fact Mr. Hawkins appeared on the front page of The Register Guard three times in less than a week. There have been numerous letters published regarding the Hatfield-Dowlin Complex [or, as it's known on campus, the Sweat shop] since its opening.
Per The Register Guard, "Because of the volume of mail, all letters cannot be published."
Here is the full text of Mr. Hawkins' Letter to the Editor.
Dear Editor:
A comment I made during a tour of the University of Oregon's new Hatfield-Dowlin Football Complex has been taken out of context, and I feel I owe the members of my university and this community an explanation.
When I said "We are the University of Nike," I meant it as a metaphor for the shared ideals and passions that I believe exist between the UO athletic department and those of Nike, whose founder, Phil Knight, and his wife, Penny, have made extraordinary contributions to both academics and athletics at the UO. After all, the birthplace of Nike was on the playing fields of Oregon. The invention of the waffle track shoe by Oregon Coach Bill Bowerman revolutionized sports performance forever. Oregon student-athlete Phil Knight transformed those ideas into a sports-marketing empire. Both men exemplify the innovation and devotion to excellence that I associate with the UO. Both went on to become great philanthropists to the university and global game-changers.
The Ducks are innovative and achievement oriented, driven to excellence. Students and student-athletes see us as ahead of the curve, smart, successful, cool, and fun. I see these characteristics as true not only of athletics, but of the university as a whole.
I've been part of this great institution for almost 13 years, and I feel passionately about the UO. It's my greatest hope that my 10-year old daughter will attend here someday. Rest assured, when she does, she will be coming for the UO's outstanding academic programs.
Jeff Hawkins
Senior Associate Athletic Director of Football Administration and Operations
University of Oregon
Nice bonus – we should have info on the latest admin and athletics raises in a few weeks.

As he brags that he is turning down millions of dollars for his presidential campaign, Donald Trump has leveled a steady line of attack against his rivals: that they are too cozy with big-money super PACs and may be breaking the law by coordinating with them.
"You know the nice part about me?" he told reporters in Iowa in August. "I don't need anybody's money."
What Trump doesn't say is that he and his top campaign aide have connections to a super PAC collecting large checks to support his candidacy — a group viewed by people familiar with his campaign as the sanctioned outlet for wealthy donors.
This summer, Trump appeared at at least two events for the Make America Great Again PAC, which took his campaign slogan as its name and received financing from his daughter's mother-in-law. A consultant for the super PAC is a Republican operative who has previously worked with Trump's campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, according to several people with direct knowledge of their ties.
The Trump campaign's links to the low-profile group could undercut the candidate's posture as the only Republican in the race who has not sought to curry favor with wealthy donors, a central part of his anti-establishment message.

Why Choose Mobile Or On-site Document Shredding?
We come in, take your containers out, and return them empty – it's that easy!
Fraud, identity theft, and other business crimes are on the rise around the globe. First and foremost, it's important to recognize that there are many federal and state regulations requiring companies, organizations, and firms to properly destroy documents. In properly shredding documents of all types, you can rest assured that you are following the law.
Here's a review of the difference between on-site document shredding and off-site shredding:
- Off-site shredding involves a truck collecting your documents, proceeding to the next stop on their route, picking up more documents, and so on. When the truck is full, everything is dumped into a pile to shred. That shredding may or may not be done on the same day and anything can happen during that time – it's just not as secure.
- Mobile document shredding or on-site document shredding involves a truck pulling up, your document containers are dumped into the shredder immediately and shredded right there. Empty containers are returned to your office. It's immediate and there is little to no opportunity for any security breach that could affect your company, your employees, or your clients. It's the most complete, most secure document shredding option available today.
At Instant Shredding, we help you maintain critical legal compliance without significant impact to your bottom line. You can watch the shredding process if you like and as soon as our shredding is complete, we'll issue a Certificate of Destruction to limit your future liability.
Click here to request a quote for mobile document shredding. Or call 214.747.3348 or 817.747.3348 to request an on-site document shredding demonstration at your place of business today.
Top Benefits of Mobile Or On-site Document Shredding
Did you know that non-compliance of federal regulations can result in federal and state fines running into thousands of dollars? Complete document shredding doesn't have to be time-consuming or expensive and there are some excellent, budget-friendly options when you work with Instant Shredding.
- It's affordable and convenient – schedule mobile document shredding services that suit your needs
- It's efficient – because the bins leave and come back within minutes
- It's secure – no possibility of theft or loss during the on-site document shredding process
- It's compliant – you'll get a Certificate of Destruction with every visit
- It protects your business and your customers with a complete shred
Our mobile or on-site document shredding equipment ensures that your documents are not shredded into pieces that could be reassembled – they are destroyed to a level that's hard to believe. Then, they are recycled too!
You'll get a Certificate of Destruction and an invoice upon completion of our on-site document shredding services. Call our team at 214.747.3348 or 817.747.3348 for a free quote today.

Russian Kids Playgrounds
Strange Russian kids playgrounds.
Here are some shots from kids playgrounds in Russia.
This one is to start. It can symbolize some dragon but what are those bowls there on top??
What's this device for? It also has a personality.
This is 100% clear thing. It's a copy of Moscow city Kremlin. An example of highly fortified children playground.
The animal on the left is a bear, it's traditional, Russian beast. The guy to the left looks like some Chineese or Japaneese samurai?
There is also a sign on the background "Dangerous Zone". Is it because of this playground?
These are swings with a mermaid. The author thinks that kids should go natural and understand that mermaids don't wear swimsuits.
A lot of rude words inscripted on this pig.
Who might it be? There are a few possibilities – the wolf with a ball and the rabbit with a ball. The third one – it's a wolf and rabbit in one.
This one is really scary. But you can step inside.
Also the snow on this photo lays strangely. There is an illusion that snow spreads from this monster.
That's one is a shy little thingie.
People say that this one was built to commemorate the rabbit who turned into wolf at midnights. It can probably be related with the upper rabbit-wolf structure.
This white-blue thingie collects mushrooms and eats them probably, else how would you explain its unidentified specie and very pleased look.
Headless sculptures can teach kids that they should value their heads? The grown up from the left side is more than headless – it may show the trend that more you grow up the less body remains structured.
These are just nice.

Bear! 🙂
Woah, that dragon one is scary… So now we know why Russian kids are tougher than the rest.
We are tough because playgrounds are usually like war zones. Even the nicest neighborhood's playground is like a kids' ghetto. We stick in groups and protect our playground from the kids from other streets and playgrounds. Teenagers usually bully the younger kids, but in the end everybody sticks together if "outside kids" gang up against us. It was definitely fun growing up in that atmosphere. There was always something to do with your friends, tons of games, fights and other fun stuff kids should be doing. Prepares you for the real world pretty well. Not like in US where middle-class kids grow up to be bunch of pussies. 😉
On the fourth photo, the "Chineese or Japaneese samurai" is quite probably Kashchey the Deathless:
The little guy in the last photo looks like a
yeah, lovely monsters adopted for children) to be honest, when i was a child i didnt use to think much of their beauty, they are great to climb at! that was the main thing for me and didnt influence my insider world in any way, really))
Looks like some fine chain saw art scupting in and among other wonderful objects! You might like my USA Southwestern chain saw art! I myself come from an age when playground equipment was made out of plain, honest iron-colored iron! None of this cheap colorful plastics junk! Nor were we protected within an inch of our lives — when we take my granddaughter to the playground these days, swings are protected by what look like cages… seesaws? long gone. No way to raise kids able to look out for themselves!
Dear Olga!
I am not talking about the monsters on the playground. I am talking about the playground itself. Plus you are a girl, so you never got involved into boys stuff, and your parents only allowed you to play Rubber Bands and Jump Rope next to the building.
Oh come on, Russ. Not all neighborhoods are that bad. At least in Moscow and major cities.
And I would`nt say that American kids grow up in a nice environoment. Just like here, US is different in different parts – it`s not Beverly Hills all over. There are districts where poor people live. There are trailer parks. I believe their ghettos are much worse than our average "unsafe" residental suburb.
After all, this whole "youth gang" thing originates not from USSR, but from US.
Some of them seem to be the figures from old Russian TV cartoons. For example, on the last photo, the guy with the accordion seems to be the Crocodile Gienia – a wise crocodile that smoked a pipe, lived in a flat and had as a friend that little guy on the right. Here they are in the white color version only but in the cartoon they had been colored.
the last one is crocodile gena (on the left) and Cheburashka (on the right) and the little one seems to be Cheburashka too(the little white one with big ears). wikipedia article : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocodile_Gena
Those are some amazing shots. I wish the playgrounds in my neighborhood had such character. 🙂
Somebody clearly put a lot of work into building some very cool and unique things for kids to play on.
I can't stop thinking about Monsters Inc and scarers 🙂
well I'd rather agree with Acts_of_Atrocity, not all russian playgrounds are that skary, most of them are just normal typical playgrounds without such masterpieces of art shown in these photos. To be sinscere, when I was a little girl I used to communicate with boys much more and "boys' stuff"…i dont remember being beaten or whatever..or gangs..maybe i'm lucky but we didnt have all that stuff indeed
ok, just a few things.
The picture with the bear and the "samurai". Are you kidding me? Samurai look nothing like that. It's just a wizard with a sword. Is that so wrong?
The mermaid with breasts comment only means that you're from a country where such things are looked down upon. In europe however, breasts are not as taboo as they are in the US.
The pig with obsenities… Well, you should read some of the stuff written on my middle school desk, it's not any better.
The shy little thingy, also seen on the right in the last picture is a popular children's cartoon character. To the left of him (in the last picture) is a crocodile named Gyena (hard g) who is playing the accordion.
The scary wooden rabbit and people without heads have no evidence of being anywhere near a playground, more like a random field.
I definitely wouldn't say American kids grow up without conflict. I lived in a motel and kids from the trailer park used to come over and try to invade the family trash pile. My cousins and I would try fighting them off with machetes and rusty saw blades, but the little hellions had sling shots. We were outgunned.
wish I was joking
It's more like a playground/artistic exhibition. I live in France and in my city there's a kid playground made with bigs colorful cows built by a well known artist.
Some kids are afraid of it but it's really nice 😀
Hmmm.. Such bright colors… covered lead paint, I bet. Probably ruined many a Russian child's cognitive abilities.
I grew up in a former socialist country and was very familiar with Russian fairy tales and TV cartoons. The rabbit holding a football is not a wolf-rabbit, looks like a Zayats (rabbit) from Ny Pogodi. Dragon, bear, mermaid, Kashei, Crocodile Gena and Cheburashka – some are villains and some are not, but definitely not freaky at all. I don't think kids will find these figures scary – because they all know what they represent. Of course I can see wear and tear and decay on these things, but I find it amuzing how Americans would look down on them just because they're different from what they're accustomed to.
Thank you for the pictures of the playgrounds! It's become out of style to have characters as part of the playgrounds (I only see it here in an old park that was built in the 1960s). Just a few questions: it looks like the mermaid isn't by swings but rather by a see-saw (the Russian word for see-saw, doska-kacheli, is similar to swings). And wouldn't a rabbit that turns into a wolf at midnight be a were-rabbit, or would that have to be a rabbit that turns into a wolf at the full moon?
Interesting blend of artistic figures and play equipment. "Figure" structures on North American playgrounds tend to be cars or sea serpents, etc., not this broader range of totems. Pictures of a lot of playgrounds in the U.S. are located in a Playspace Directory tool on the kaboom.org Web site, but few pictures like this, because there aren't many things like this on American playgrounds!
Some of them are made from wood. Uhm…
cool, i recognised the park next to my house Troparevo!))) did you take the pictures yourself?)
I think those look awesome, and for the record, I'm from the USA. I wish we had more neat stuff like that!
There is a really cool mockup of a fighter jet in a park near my place. My kids love it!
When I was a kid I didn't see those playgrounds scary… It was always fun…
What I find now is scary ti child's mind is the ugly staffed animals sold everywhere in US and Canada… What an ugly bunch!..
Scary? That's what we grew up with. As someone said, we knew these characters and it was not scary. Why would someone say Russian kids have cognitive abilities? This is an insult.
What about graffiti in the States? Is it attractive? Is it a behavior of humans to write graffiti on the cars?
And just to add… Russian kids had a great childhood and still do. We did not need a parent accompanying us every step of the way. And we grew up good people.
Just wanted to add… The comments under each picture are rude. If you do not accept a different culture, do not travel there. I live in the States, and I love it here. However, understand me right, a year ago, a playground that I used to take my child to was burned by someone. Someone actually started a fire on the playground. So, don't make fun of the playgrounds from different countries, look at not as great yourselves.
Russia is a beautiful country with great and not so great people just like everywhere else.
Oh God, I remember these little uglies from my childhood. I loved them. 🙂
There was built the village on the playground where I played as a kid (5 or 6 small wooden houses). We liked to play there. But my fav was a huge wooden Zmey Gorynych (Russian fairy tale dragon with three heads), about twice as big as a grown-up man, and really tricky to climb on.
Actually I never could climb on the highest meadle head, since I was only 3 or 4 y/o, and before I managed to accomplish that task we moved to another city. I was SO dissapointed. God, I still remember that huge beast. 🙂
Cheburashka and Gena!!!
i love thes picturs thay remind me of my grand fathers story's growing up in the old comunist russia. it's funny to read all the amararican responces, and how shocking it is to them, just becaus its diferent. i live in Canada where every one is diferent so new culturs and bilife's are comon but US ignorance and arogance is nothing new
This is nothing, I'm an American and there's a park where I grew up in Florida called War Veterans Memorial Park and in it they have an actual tank from one of the world wars that kids are allowed to play on and it's still there today. Top that!
Barney and the Teletubbies are a lot more disturbing than these. LOL!
We didn't have any sculptured figures in the Alaskan playgrounds when I was a kid, but we made snowmen, snow forts and snow caves and had terrific snowball wars!
There is nothing scary about these playgrounds. Everyone knows who the figures are, and the cartoons and movies they are from. It's sad to see so many Americans be so rude. Americans never understand different culctures. The reason for this is that the USA payed Gorbachev millions, making him rich and everyone else poor.
cheburashka 🙂
An interesting collection of playgrounds. Most of them are not that innovative in Russia. Kids play in typical plastic "Fisher-Price" like structures.
Thank you for the opportunity to view and comment on your blog. Your site is full of good information I can use to make my online business a success. Thanks again and keep up the good work!
These sculptures look like they are made with love an I find them very sweet.

Playing at the Mead: Space Sailors and Space Tourists main content.
by AMNH on
"I think being allowed to go to space at 30 is wonderful," says Bertalan Farkas, Hungary's first cosmonaut, in Marian Kiss's Space Sailors, which makes its U.S. premiere at the Margaret Mead Film Festival on Sunday, November 13. "But one mustn't forget—if you reach your zenith so young, what will you do then?"
Space Sailors, which traces Farkas and nine other cosmonauts from their high-profile flights for the Soviet Intercosmos Program to their meteoric falls from fame after the Soviet Union's collapse, is featured as part of the Mead Festival's Dreams of Outer Space series, presented in anticipation of the Museum's upcoming exhibition Beyond Planet Earth: The Future of Space Exploration.
Along with Academy-Award nominee Christian Frei's Space Tourists, a portrait of the modern space tourism industry that will be shown on Friday, November 11, Space Sailors takes as its subjects people who undergo extreme physical and mental training for their journeys to space but must also learn how to handle life upon their return to Earth.
Shrines to the Soviet space program dot the homes of the cosmonauts profiled in Space Sailors; one even keeps a Soyuz spacecraft capsule behind a curtain in his living room as a tribute to the days before the Iron Curtain fell. Sculptures, murals, and memorials to Soviet spaceflight also appear throughout Space Tourists like a specter, and facilities that were kept secret at the height of the Space Race are retrofitted for a booming commercial space tourism industry. For some, the demise of the Soviet-era program has been a boon: Anousheh Ansari, an Iranian-American billionaire, books a space flight for $20 million, which she considers a small price to pay to make her childhood dream come true.
Yet Space Tourists also shows the consequences of the privatization of space flight for the Earth-bound, who are left to literally pick up the pieces. Scrap metal hunters chase parts from fallen spacecraft to sell to manufacturers, rural farmers build homes or shovels with rocket debris, and whole ecosystems suffer from the toxic effects of the materials.
While at the International Space Station, Ansari looks at the cosmonauts around her and says, "I wish I could stay with them." But, as Space Sailors and Space Tourists ultimately show, even when humans venture beyond Earth, ties to the home planet only grow stronger.

Beyond Planet Earth: The Future of Space Exploration opens November 19.

Drawn curtain day winding restless.
Cooing won't calm those crying
cradle pains - a side-wound slap.
Sleep teases with easy dreams,
nightmare halted breaths, going
under water in a vault -
and you and I wound tight against
the world, floating in the vast
expanse of black night -
both crying like babies.

Kevin Ring Is New FAMM President
WASHINGTON, DC – FAMM founder Julie Stewart today announced that Kevin Ring has officially become president of the nonprofit sentencing reform organization. Ring began working for FAMM in 2008 and served as the group's vice president. Stewart, who founded the group in 1991 and has served as president since that time, will become chair of the board.
"It has been a great 25 years and I am proud of what FAMM has accomplished," said Ms. Stewart. "But FAMM's work is not done. Kevin is the right person to lead FAMM into the future. His experience, knowledge, and passion have helped elevate FAMM to a new level of effectiveness during the past eight years."
Ring said, "I am grateful for the confidence that Julie and FAMM's board have placed in me. We have a lot of exciting initiatives planned for 2017 and our team is ready to hit the ground running today."
Of Stewart's decision to step down, Ring said, "No one wants Julie to leave, including me. That's why I am glad that she is going to stay on as chair of the board. We will continue to benefit from her wisdom and experience."
Ring brings more than 20 years of conservative public policy, campaign, and issue advocacy experience to FAMM. He began his career in Washington, D.C., as a legislative aide on Capitol Hill. During his tenure, he served as counsel to the Senate Judiciary's Constitution, Federalism, and Property Rights Subcommittee under the leadership of future US Attorney General John Ashcroft. He also served as executive director for the Republican Study Committee, the largest member organization in the US House of Representatives.
Ring is the author of Scalia's Court: A Legacy of Landmark Opinions and Dissents (Regnery). He is a graduate of Syracuse University and the Columbus School of Law at Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.
FAMM, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, promotes common sense sentencing and prison policies that increase public safety.

Superman's got nothin' on Super Mom
For every woman who's ever felt completely and utterly defeated by trying to be the perfect mother--the so-called "Supermom Syndrome"--I've got news for you: You already are a Supermom. It probably just hasn't hit you yet.
Let me explain. I've never put much stock in superheroes myself, but I've lived my life around men who do. I grew up watching my brother pin a towel around his neck and run around the house with his arms flailing in front of him, leaping tall building blocks in a single bound. (We won't go into the X-ray vision he suddenly acquired when my developing junior high school friends came to visit.) Years later, I married a man who came complete not only with the power to make me weak in the knees but also with a truckload of cardboard boxes filled with his childhood comic books. When we bought our first house, I unwittingly stashed the boxes in the "yard sale" pile before realizing that doing so was grounds for divorce. I simply had no idea of the power my husband's beloved superheroes had over him.
I decided it was time for me to find out. I thumbed through a few of the yellowing, nearly mildewed pages, scanning frame after frame of hulking guys throwing lightning bolts at each other or men morphing into large green monsters with bulging biceps and calves (now that, I could get into). But I still wasn't getting it.
"What's so special about these?" I asked my husband.
"Are you kidding me?" Will responded, incredulous that he could have married a woman so ignorant of the wonders of Wonder Woman and the colossal indomitability of Colossus, the X-Man who could turn his body into a protective metal shield. He went on to enlighten me:
"Well ... there's Superman, of course. He's got X-ray vision and can fly.
"Spider Man--you know him, he shoots webs out of his hands and feet.
"Mr. Fantastic--he's rubber and he stretches.
"There's Ice Man --he can turn things into ice.
"Storm--she can make lightning come from out of the sky.
"Cyclops--he can shoot rays out of his eyes.
"Then there's the Human Torch--he turns into flames and flies.
"Oh yeah, the Invisible Woman. She's boring--she turns invisible. "The Flash--he's really fast.
"Wolverine ..."
"I get it, I get it," I interrupted. "He turns into a wolf, blah, blah, blah."
"Umm, no," Will sighed, rolling his eyes. "He has claws that come out of his hands, and he has superfast healing powers and unbreakable bones. Duh."
I let my newfound superhero knowledge simmer for a while. Maybe there was something really cool about being able to shoot rays of light out of your eyes. Could be a useful skill in a pinch.
It was months later when it dawned on me: I, too, had superhuman powers! I was sitting in the rocking chair, nursing my daughter, Julia, when it hit me like a lightning bolt: "I can make milk! Milk shoots out of my breasts!"
I ran downstairs to tell Will. "Guess what?" I announced breathlessly, "Your wife has superpowers!"
"Oh yeah?" he asked, cocking an eyebrow over his newspaper at me.
"I can make milk!" I beamed, proudly.
He looked at me for a long minute, clearly baffled. "Okaaaaay," he responded, confused, but returning to his newspaper nonetheless, seemingly unimpressed by my announcement. (I had, after all, been nursing our daughter almost a year at this point, so it was hardly a news flash.)
Still, I reveled in my new Supermom status. I could make milk! How many other human beings on the planet could substantiate that claim? (OK, about 4.2 million women at any given time in the United States alone, but who's counting?)
After 16 months of nursing, the time had come to wean my daughter. As much as I was ready to wean her, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was giving up some sort of superhuman power. For a brief time in my life, I could make milk. And, I was consciously letting that ability slip away. Sure, maybe I wasn't faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive? Not so much. But, I could make milk. And that's pretty super.

Dare To Fails…. Since I was teen I heard that quote, how freaking that quote? When I saw the book on tv, I says "I'll never read that book. This book not to me"
On that time, failure is the nightmare for me. Even my parent never push me to study or to success, but i never wanna to fail. And I never wanna try something new because i don't wanna fails. I never ever wanna to fails.
But when i grown up. I realize that failure is the part of success. We will learn greatest manner and feel the sweetest moment from the failure, that never being teach in whatever institution in this world. Only from our failure. But this only happen if we have a good spirit to get up from the fall.
I'm not the best student, i'm not the bookworm. I'm not the good guy, i'm not the bad guy too. I'm just average, likes most people in this world. I just wanna be the best I can. Be the best, beat the rest.
Today, failure not the nightmare anymore for me. I don't care if fails. Even 1000 times I fails. I will never regret. I will never give up to try and try until I feel the climax and satisfaction.
Fed up? Put this bad ass aways. Kick away this bad feeling. Fed up is made for loser not for the winner like us.
Love whatever we do. Never regret what has happen. Whatever result we got, that's the best. And keep on trying until end of our breath.
Live happy forever.
